So here it is everyone the chapter that I've had a writer's block on but have no fear I'm already writing the other chapter now that I've overcome this minor set back. Remember to read everything if People actually read my notes then it makes me a happy writer, and you know what they say a happy writer is a good writer.
Alright now remember guys I don't own the Characters but I'm also not going to follow the Manga at least not the way everyone knows it. I'm going off on a limb remember that when reviewing. Remember though if you don't like it or have an idea let me know. Thanks
Chapter 9, Travels
Anya was upset; no upset was an easy way of describing her she was infuriated right now. Negi had yet to write back to any of her messages and she wasn't going to stand for it. She had already spoken with Negi's sister and all she had said, was that there was no reason to worry. No reason to worry, Anya's ass, if he wasn't responding and his sister wasn't going to answer, than by god she was going to go find the answers herself.
Konoka was worried, Asuna was pissed and Negi-kun was nowhere to be found. When Asuna and her had gone to her grandfather, all he has said was that. Negi was being taken under someone else's wing and he had no say in the matter. But that was not what was on her mind right now. What was bothering her right now was that her father was calling for her. And not just in an easy manner otherwise.
As Konoka arrived at her house she was greeted by the guard at the gate.
"Good after noon, Konoka-sama. Your father awaits you in his study," he said bowing to her. Konoka smiled as she nodded to him.
She was now walking towards the main room when a feeling of unrepentant emotions started surfacing her mind.
'Damn it I hope father is not upset… lately he has secluded himself to his study more and more. And strange people have been recently popping in to visit him.'
However her thoughts came to an abrupt end as she suddenly came upon her father's study door. She was about to knock when her father's voice spoke out to her.
"Come in, otome(1)," he said softly yet held no room for argument. Softly taking a breath Konoka released it, opened the door and stepped into the study.
Nodoka was worried scratch that she was kind of panic-stricken. Why you may ask because she hadn't seen Negi for awhile now and it had already been a few years. And although she hadn't seen him as of lately that has not stopped her. So with a renewed vigor and strengthened heart she continued towards her destination, the only place that she knew where anyone would have a clue as to where her… I mean Negi went…The headmaster's office.
Anya was already moving towards the train station as fast as she could however her pursuer was right on her trail.
"For the last time Anastasia, I'm telling you there is nothing to be worried about," Nekane half wheezed in between breathes.
"Nothing to be worried about!" Anya half shouted as she finished buying her ticket.
"I'll tell you something not to worry about, Nekane…me! Stop following me and go back home. I'll return with Negi-kun in tow, if I have to drag him all the way back home." she said with much conviction.
"not if you know where he is…" mumbled Nekane to herself. But out loud just sighed.
"Fine, if you don't wish to see to reason then it's all the more for you to know who will know where to find him." Nekane said in exaggeration.
"Go to the headmaster at his school in Japan," and with that said she left a befuddled Anya behind.
The moment that Konoka opened the door all her courage left her. Her father was there yes but that wasn't the scary part it was who was with him.
The Kantō Magic Assoc. representative, along with the Kansai Magic Assoc. representative. Both of which were sitting calmly next to her father.
"Ah…Konoka-chan, how nice of you to join us. We were just discussing your old Sensei, Negi Springfield. Why don't you come on in and sit down for a while," her father said. The other two just now noticing the new occupant sat there in a daze and nodded in unison. As one they stood and bowed to her father.
"By your leave Konoe-Sama," they both said as they rose again and left through the door.
Konoka looked at the retreating backs before she closed the door and turned to look at her father.
"I can see that you are confused otome," he stated. When she looked questionably at him.
Nodding her head he sighed and gestured towards the chair in front of him. Quickly getting to her seat Konoka sat down and waited for her father. After several minutes of silence, with the two of them looking at each other, her father sighed.
"Otome…what I have to say I say with a heavy heart as both a father and a leader." He stated.
Fearing the worse looked like she was about to cry. Akio (AN just to let you know I don't know his name, if someone does and can prove it please speak up) moved quickly to intercept her thoughts.
"No! No no no no, he's not dead my dear hime." He said panicking, noticing that it worked as the water works stopped in a heartbeat.
"Sniff-He's not?" Konoka asked through her snobs. Receiving a nod from her father,
"No, however the reason for our two guests is the reason why I wanted to talk to you." He said suddenly becoming serious again.
Noticing the change in her father's posture, Konoka quickly sat up straighter.
"Konoka Konoe, I Akio as Clan Head of the Konoe Clan and Vice-President of the A.M.C. (Asian Magic Coucnil) herby charge you with a mission do you accept." He said strictly and in a tone that offered no leeway.
Nodding her head, Konoka could have sworn she saw something in her father's eyes represent mirth. Nodding to her answer Akio then looked her right in the eyes.
"Then as the Vice-President of AMC it has come to our attention that one, Negi Springfield has been turned by the Vampire Evangeline McDowell." He said.
Konoka had been expecting many things, but Negi being a Vampire had not been one of those. So when she heard this she was about to scream, when her father held his hand up.
"However, that is not why you have been informed. It has come to the council's attention that in the past you may have held feeling's for this boy. Is that true?" her father asked/demanded of her with a stern look.
Slowly blushing and nodding, her father actually seemed satisfied with her answer.
"Good then, if that be the case then your mission shall be much simpler for you. You are to meet up with the other 'representatives' and head to Evangeline's Covenant's Castle." He said in one breath. Slowly waiting for the question that was bound to be asked.
"But father, what am I suppose to do?" Konoka asked,
'Hook line and singer' Akio thought.
"You my precious daughter shall be the new representative to the Shinso and as Evangeline is currently the most powerful Shinso, then that naturally is where you shall be heading." He stated as if it were a fact.
And then as if remembering he dropped the real bomb on her.
"Oh and if you can get Negi-san to sign an Allegiance of any kind, including a Marriage contract we shall discuss possible future arrangements." He said counting down in his head from five.
And with that the whole house hold's ears were ringing for a few minutes.
Anya was just about to board the Plane for Kyoto when two men dressed in black approached her.
"Excuse me ma'am, but would you happen to be Anastasia Cocolova?" the one on the right asked. She nodded her head. Then the next one stepped up.
"May we have a moment of your time Miss Cocolova, it will only take a while and it involves one Negi Springfield. A classmate from your school in Wales," he spoke putting an emphasis on the word school. Gasping she quickly nodded and hurried after them.
They reached the outside of the Airport where there was a limousine. The men nodded towards it and she acknowledged them. However once the door opened and she stepped in she realized that this wasn't some kind of conspiracy. But something that could possibly change her future as well as her life.
"Hello Anya…"
Nodoka had just arrived at the Headmaster's Office when the doors suddenly burst open. Letting out a squeak Nodoka noticed the Headmaster there waiting for her to stand back up. Blushing profusely Nodoka quickly jumped to her feet and glared indignantly at the old man.
Laughing at the poor girl's misfortune, the Headmaster stroked his beard a few times. Feeling the silver long hair, move through his fingertips, his black eyes resting on her little head.
"Ah Nodoka right on this way please," he said gesturing towards the office. In which she quickly shuffled by. Looking around making sure no one was around he quickly shut the door and activated the sound proof barrier. Then he headed over to his overly large brown squishy chair.
Nodoka looked around and simply gazed, long forgotten about the real reason she was here. After all it's not every day that a human got to see parts of the Magical World even if they were more pictures and such then anything else.
Laughing the headmaster seemed to be amused at her reaction. Even after all this time, every time Nodoka came in to talk to him it was about the magical world.
Looking around Nodoka remembered the day she found out about magic…
………………………………………………………………………..Flashback…………………………………………………………………………
Nodoka was reading in the library and happened to come across a very interesting name in a mythological book. Titled 'Great Mages and their Times', curious as to why it was lying around on a table under a bunch of other books. Nodoka started to read it. That is however until she got to a certain part.
'And so it comes to pass that the Great Thousand Master, also known as Nagi Springfield disappeared into the night. Leaving only his son behind, to what reason's none may know but may Kami rest his spirit…'
And there right above the ending part of the book was a picture of Nagi Springfield and in his hands was Negi's staff. That had been all that it took, and like a bat out of hell. Nodoka took off towards the Headmaster's office, to discuss the origins of this book and see if there may be more.
………………………………………………………………………End flashback…………………………………………………………………….
Nodoka grinned; however the old man really didn't have much to say but nod his head and confirm her beliefs. That Negi was indeed a wizard and that such a world of believable things even existed. He'd tried later on to convince her otherwise but she'd have none of it.
However the cough from the Headmaster quickly brought her out of her daze.
"As I was saying, Nodoka-san is that Negi is no longer under my protection but now under Madam McDowell's," he said to her losing his resolve as he went along.
"And then I went on to explain to you as the only human who knows I really had to protect you, so in your best interests I am sending you to him…"
Was all that Nodoka heard before she quickly passed out, grinning madly.
Anya's breathing hitched a bit; a she stepped into the black limousine. 'Magic' she thought as she was about to enter. However the occupant that was in the passenger seat was what caused her breathing to hitch.
"Ah, so lovely to see you again, Miss Anastasia." Spoke Headmaster Daichi, her Headmaster from the academy in Wales. She nodded her head in respect.
"Headmaster." She acknowledged.
"Ah forgive this old man for his trouble's Anya but when I heard what you intended to do I had to react faster than usual." He said smiling while Anya fumed.
'Damn that bitch, she ratted me out wait till I get my hands on her then I'll show her…'
"As I was saying," he started, "Due to the fact that you were already heading out in search of Negi I decided that I would have you work instead of doing absolutely nothing." Smirking at the now gaping face on Anya.
"What are you talking about headmaster; Negi is probably right now, back at his school in Japan with those no good for nothing…"
"No, actually he's in probably the safest place…for him at least. Right now." He stated with a little more conviction at the end and only faltering one time. However that falter he learned was going to cost him a bit.
"What do you mean 'for him at least'," Anya asked sending him her best glare that involved her -red hair starting to rise and her eyes to set fire to all in their path (men beware).
"Well you see, Anya Negi waschangedbyEvanglineherself, and ," he said in almost one entire breath. (was changed by Evangeline herself and is now living with him back at her covenant where we want you to go and represent the E.M.C {European Magical Council}).
However the one thing that the Headmaster hadn't planned on was a calm and almost murderous, Anya to turn back and face him; with her eyes ablaze and a smile on her face that screamed at him to run a way. She turned an with a perfectly sweet and innocent look spoke to the headmaster.
"So when do I get to see him," and that said and done, they parted ways. One feeling happy to be away and the other to look for her flight to her new destination.
"Negi just you wait till I get my hands on you" she called to the air in a sing-song sort of way.
The moment that Nodoka woke up she realized that she was being laid down in a chair, vaguely remembering her conversation with the Headmaster; she quickly shot up into a sitting position.
"Ah, I see you have finally decided to join us Nodoka-chan," the Headmaster spoke in a soft and gentle voice.
"As you can see you are on a plane right now, this is only a copy of myself that will see you safely on your connection flight, to your real destination," he stated making Nodoka smile in remembrance.
"Don't worry about your clothing either everything was packed by my lovely assistant, and sent ahead of you so it should be there 'bout the time you arrive. Now have a nice nap and enjoy your trip." And just like that Nodoka remembered nothing but blackness.
The moment that Konoka woke up everything went into a furry of motion, bags were packed things were loaded goodbyes were said everything was set for this trip of who knew how long. But secretly Konoka was hoping it would never.
The drive on the way to the Air Port in Kyoto was pretty unimpressive, it was long and silent, but her mouth was dry and her palms were sweating. As if noticing her distress her father simply reached over and patted her on the head.
"There, there my Otome everything will be alright just you wait and see," he soothed to her.
Nodding her head franticly she pratically daized off into nothing. However soon the Airport was next to the car and they came to a stop. Getting out of the car was another moment of action. Everything was going left and right as they raced towards the Air Port to go to the Rondevou point with the other two represenatives. They were all suppose to meet here on their flight. But just before Konoka good get past the security check her father quickly pulled her into a hug.
"Konoka-chan, your mother would be proud if she could see you right now," her father whipsered in her ear. As he let go and the other followed him off.
Tears glistened in her eyes as she whiped them away her curage now gone. And her fears pounding at her, as she turned to head towards the rendevou point however one girl reading a book caught her attention.
Nodoka was reading a book at the terminal in Kyoto, when suddenly she felt herself being hugged from behind. Shock at the action Nodoka looked up and over her shoulder to see a crying but happy, Konoka.
"Nodoka-chan is that really you," she practically begged/pleaded. Happy that it was the right answer the other girl squealed with renewed vigor and the two started catching up. They were just starting to discuss their life and exchanging contacts when the announcement for Nodoka's flight came over the intercom. So as waited she read.
By the time her number had been called and she looked up Konoka was nowhere around.
However as she boarded the plane and sat down, and was about to begin reading again when a gentle tug caught her attention.
Konoka was sitting next to her on the plane next to the window.
Anya sighed to herself, 'Damn if I had known that I would have to wait forever for these other guys to get here I'd have brought something to do. I mean how long does it take for one to get from wherever they're from to get here to Romania? Oh well, guess I'll just have to wait a little longer.'
However lucky to her that two girls started walking towards her location which was a spot in the middle of the terminal meant for greeters. She stood by the telephone booth. As they neared her though, Anya realized they were oriental, and needed to know which in case they didn't speak basic.
However again luck would have it that they understood her better than anyone else and the shorter one with her hair in her face spoke up first.
"Umm…Excuse me miss but you don't happen to be here for a Mr.…"she began only for Anya to nod vigorously.
"Yeah I am and if I'm not mistaken you two are also looking for him." To which they both nodded. She smiled as she put her hand out to them.
"The name's Anastasia Cocolova or as I prefer Anya just Anya," she said as she shook hands with the shorter girl first.
"My name is Nodoka Miyazaki, student of Negi-Sensei, and this here is Konoka Konoe. Fellow Classmate of mine and also student of Negi-sensei." She said as they released each other's hand.
Anya smirked and laughed out loud.
"Wow, he show knows how to pick them doesn't he," she said as the others broke out laughing also having broken the ice.
Konoka however having realized the time and the setting immediately fell back onto her training with her family.
"Excuse me Anya-san but I believe we should probably go to the exit and meet our escorts. After all, it is not polite to keep a host waiting too long. And I for one don't feel like keeping the most powerful Shinso alive, waiting." And with that said the three new found friends in arms, began their trek to the exit. (After all they had their baggage shipped to an address that their host had given them)
Upon arriving at the exit gate three tall and burly women dressed in nothing but black leather and trench coats, with black sunglasses on. Were waiting for them with a sign that said 'Negi'. As they approached the two females, it became obvious however that they were not human and were indeed Vampires. However whatever kind they were, the three couldn't tell by their looks.
"You three must be the representatives," the one on the right spoke, in a heavily accented English. To which they nodded. As she looked around the Vampire took one look at them and motioned to follow.
As the three walked they noticed they were being led back to the terminal. Or to be more precise the actual Airfield. Upon arriving at the door, the other guard quickly exited before knocking twice to which the one guard knocked once and then followed. Ushering the three confused girls along.
"We were and still are afraid that someone may have sent someone to spy on you ladies, and so we all taking safety precautions. Nothing to worry about." She said with much conviction as she closed the door behind them.
However all thoughts of how they were getting to their destiny, was flown out the window by what was in front of them.
A private Lear jet was on the tarmac. That was how, they were flying in style.
As they were boarding they noticed that guards went forward and quickly spoke with the pilot before showing them to their seats. Upon arriving at them each and every girl had one question in mind.
'Where are we going?'
However as one of the guards passed Konoka got braved and was the one to ask.
"Excuse me taichou but where exactly are we heading?" she asked as the other two nodded their heads.
The Vampire smirked as she sat down across from the three, a smile adoring her lips.
"Mistress McDowell will see you in Ireland, at her home castle," and with that they took off.
