Chapter 15, Training Part GA
And hince the Guardian Angels from this day forth shall forever guard the Royal Family in all that is body mind and spirit. And should it come between the two only one shall rule the most.
-Rule number one. A Vampiress is feirce in nature, especially when around her young. As such only the Council and Master and/or Mistress may excuss any and or all actions a Vampiress may take while in the prescence of her children.
They disappeared in a column of smoke that enveloped their bodies. And the first thing that Negi realized was that his face was about to meet the ground. Mere inches away and a hand reached out and grabbed him.
"Oops! Sorry about that I seem to have forgotten the effects of shadow travel," she said as she rubbed the back of her head. Negi stared at her in open wonderment, before she suddenly dropped him on the ground. Looking around Negi began to take in all the scenes.
They were on a plain, mountains in the back and a forest that was all around them, the clearing was approximately 2 football fields in length and width. And it was all even.
"Right! Now I shall quickly go over exactly what you'll be learning while you are here. First allow me introduce my fellow instructors for this next month." She said as two shadows slowly lurked out of the nearby forest.
As they approached Negi smiled and waved at the familiar figures. However upon seeing his blunt disregard for proper etiquette, Victoria decided that he needed to be broken in…real quick.
As Negi was waving suddenly he felt pain in his hand, looking up at it, he noticed it was now sporting a dart in it. Noticing it finally his brain started to function, and he was about to scream when Victoria smacked him over the head.
"That! Will be your last warning Fledgling," She practically spat at him. Frowning Negi suddenly came to the conclusion that she was a bit stiff. However her next words made sense.
"You! Are to be our Next Clan Master, and Evangeline-sama's mate. As such you need to through these silly human motions away, and harden your heart. Life as a Vampire has never been an easy one, and now that you are a Shinso, you must use our ways. At least out in public, I will not tolerate such failure to follow our great traditions and neither shall you," she said as she gently pulled out the needle in his hand.
The two figures now identified as Sakura and Hana. Slowly stepped out of the shadows. After the formal bow of soldier's; to their superiors the two stood up.
Victoria cleared her throat then looked back at Negi.
"Now as Guardian Angels we shall train you in the art of Shadow jumping, stealth…"
"Pretty much we're going to make you a ninja" Exclaimed Hana. Only to be glared at by her mother.
"Yes as Hana has so bluntly put it. We are going to be making you into a 'ninja," she said with air quotes.
"Now in order to shadow jump…"
Negi groaned as he sat up off the ground in the tent. The girls were on the cots next to him, slowly remembering the last few days Negi laughed on the inside. After explaining to Negi, exactly how to Shadow Jump, she had then launched into how to put it to good use.
It had only taken Negi the first day, to actually finish shadow jumping. No the part that made him ache in pain happened to be yesterday, Victoria had sneered at him when he stated he had mastered Shadow Jumping and had then appeared around him in a numerous amounts of pops. Then proceeded back to where she originally started.
Upon arrival at that spot though Negi suddenly felt everywhere she had hit him. And he hadn't even noticed till then. With a smirk upon her face Victoria then sat in front of him and explained that in order to master Shadow Jumping one must be able to control it in any environment. Then she began making him Multi-Shadow Jumping. Which every time he would appear; Hana, Sakura and Victoria would appear and proceed to pelt him with rocks till he was gone.
But in the end he had finally done it. As Negi made his way out of the tent he was suddenly bombarded with another rock. Groaning he got back up to a smirking Victoria.
"A GA must always be alert and ready Fledgling. Your lack of attention will end up with you unable to retaliate in a situation." She calmly stated, as she sat back down and drank her tea.
"While Sakura and Hana both sleep you shall attempt to simply touch me. If you are not able to do this by the end of the day, you will not be able to eat food with us. If by tomorrow you do not succeed you shall be fed only the minimum for a prisoner. And so on and so on, if however by the end of this week if you are unable to do so, I will be forced to inform Evangeline of your failure and withhold my blessings for you ascension." She sated while sipping her tea.
"This will be a test of both Shadow Jumping and Shadow Apparition. You will need to learn to control the shadow in a stealthy manner or you will never be able to silently appear." And with a wave of her hand Negi disappeared. Smirking Victoria sighed as she realized how quickly he was learning. After all not very many fledglings were able to use Shadow Manipulation, to the extent that Negi was. After all knowingly or not, he left no Shadow where he used to be. Meaning he was able to pull it with him, leaving no trace of him ever being there.
Negi rested as he sat in a tree overlooking the clearing. Victoria had told him, that all he needed to do was touch her. And even though that sounded easy, Negi knew better. There was something hidden in her words, that she did not speak out loud. Then it struck him, the only reason he would have to touch her was because she would be moving if she sensed him. Slapping himself for being even more stupid, Negi quickly scouted the area for a better hideout. And then he found one. Smirking to himself he silently Shadow Jumped and appeared at a cave above the clearing dug into the cliff side.
Sneaking back deeper into the cave, he began manipulating the shadows to do his bidding like Victoria had taught him.
Victoria smirked as she watched him sit in the tree, she knew he was thinking, which was a good thing but when he suddenly disappeared she began to get excited. Looking around for the trace of his shadow, a frown began to form on her face.
Where is he?
Was her thought, then it struck her and she smiled. He must have found an area that was already in darkness and was hiding while plotting.
"Sakura, Hana wake up! He's beginning to understand his task" she mentally sent to the two females, and smirked as she felt them appear next to her. Negi was going to be surprised when he came after her.
Negi was once again waiting in his tree to 'capture' his target, it had been almost 6 hours now, and he was slightly hungry; having had a big dinner last night. It was now 3pm and if he did not catch her in the next two hours he would also miss dinner tonight. Sighing and preparing himself Negi quickly launched himself through the shadows towards his 'target'.
Upon reaching her Negi quickly reached out only for him to be jumped somewhere else. Somewhat confused Negi looked around for his target and felt his stomach drop as he realized that he had missed. Quickly Shadow Jumping back to the tree line he quickly went to see where he might of went wrong.
Assuming it was just a mistake on his part he went and tried again; only to come back with the exact same results. Frustrated Negi went back to his cave and sat as he observed his target. Glaring down at them his stomach grumbled at not getting any food tonight. However he would fall asleep quickly making sure his traps and shelter where secure, Negi quickly went to sleep at 6pm to make time for tomorrow.
Worry was the first thing that ran through both Hana and Sakura's mind as they headed back towards the tent, their mother had told them to stop worrying and that she would keep a shadow eye out for Negi just to make sure he was okay. But they couldn't help but feel as if something was about to go terribly wrong.
The sounds of his Shadow Alarms going off were the first things that gave Negi any sense of warning. Quickly getting up and moving to the mouth of the cave, he decided to see what the problem was. However the first thing that told him he was in trouble was when the mouth of some canine attached itself to his arm. Screaming into the depth of night, Negi quickly brought his other arm down onto the creature's skull hitting it as hard as he could he finally felt it go limp before he threw it over the cliff. Breathing hard Negi stared at the gaping wound in his arm and quickly applied some pressure to it; however he soon passed out after losing too much blood.
A terrible scream, that, was what woke up Hana and Sakura. Quickly running towards their mother she shook her head and pointed back to their tent.
"Go back to sleep if we haven't heard anything else from him by the end of the day tomorrow then we'll start looking for him." Victoria said to them.
Nodding their heads the two girls trusted their superior and mother; and headed back off to bed.
The first thing Negi woke to was the sound of his alarms going off again. However this time he was careful and heard the growling. Thinking twice he quickly sent the wolf away via Shadow jumping. After exerting so much energy he felt his remaining energy leave him. And he fell asleep within the cave once more; but not before sending out one last plea…
"Help me…"
"Help me" that was the message that got through to Victoria early the next morning. And before one could say Zip she had made a link back at Guardian Angel HQ.
"This is General Victoria Requesting immediate attention at training ground 14. We have a MIA VIP situation regarding one Negi Springfield; ordering all off duty vampires to the immediate facility for further orders. General out!" she practically screamed. If they couldn't find Negi by Friday they were all so screwed.
Evangeline passed her room as worry etched on her face, this morning the GA's had received a search and retrieve message from Victoria, she sighed as she looked out the window.
Come back to me Negi
The moment after Victoria sent the message to HQ she also went to wake her daughters, after gathering them in the clearing a bunch of loud pops were heard around them. Nearly 100 Guardian Angels surrounded them.
"Okay troops listen up, Negi Springfield, future mate of our mistress has gone missing. He was told to stay at least 5 clicks (approx 5miles) within sight of this clearing. However I have reason to believe he may be injured. If you find him proceed with caution he may become violent. DISMISSED!" she exclaimed, and the moment her arm came down everyone was off searching for the missing person.
Sakura and Hana were looking together and where searching the nearby river. When suddenly Hana stopped and started to cry, looking around to make sure none would disturb them, Sakura gently placed a hand upon Hana's shoulder.
"Why sister! Why?" Hana started sobbing into Sakura's shoulder. Gently hugging her sister, Sakura allowed a small sob to escape her.
"I do not know, sis. I do not know. Even though we have agreed to guard him, and we are the best at what we do. He still is missing, however if we give up there may be no one who may find him. Come sister let us continue." Sakura said as she lowered her pale hand and raised her sister up.
And so the Strawberry Blonde, and Brunette quickly began their search again.
Victoria was getting antsy, and that in itself was enough to make her worry; no one had been able to find him yet and it had been five days. She was starting to get worried when suddenly she felt a hand on her shoulder. Jumping to turn around and yell at the person who scared her. She was greeted by a site that would haunt her memories for a while.
"Got'cha," a bloodied and beat up Negi said, as he fell forward.
Break brag about a cliff hanger here
Negi awoke to find himself in a tent with Sakura and Hana glaring at him from the entrance. Blinking several times Negi looked around and sat up however a bit too quickly as he suddenly began to fall over. But not before Sakura caught him.
"Idiot," she said as he looked up at them questionably. She then threw him back into the pillows and stormed out of the room. He looked over to Hana who just continued to glare at him. Then two unnamed GA's arrived in Black cloaks and took over for Hana and Sakura. As Hana left the room though she threw one more look over her shoulder towards Negi.
"You worried us Negi-sama, Please do not do something like that again." And with that the flap closed.
Evangeline was sitting in her chambers currently listening to Vic…GA commander; and right now *however she was laughing her ass off on the inside.
That boyo was able to hide for a whole 6 days from not only Vicky but also at least 100 GA soldiers. The thought made her smirk; which did not go unnoticed by Victoria.
"Eva, come on do not think like that you knew he'd be a handful and look at where it's gotten us so far!" she accused her friend.
Evangeline smirked then nodded.
"You are correct Vicky ever sense I met him the boy has been a danger magnet. Hopefully the last one to train him though will be able to bring him out of it." Evangeline said as she sighed.
Vicky thought for a moment as to who could possibly calm the danger….Oh Shit!
"Eva you can't be serious, you are actually allowing your mate to learn those tactics! He could get killed if he messes up or hideously maimed."
Evangeline began to laugh which made a cold shiver run down Victoria's spine.
"Do not worry about Negi, Vicky. More so, worry about training your daughters who have to be by his side from now on." Evangeline said with a smirk.
Victoria began to pale and was about to speak up, when Evangeline silenced her with a hand.
"Now, now Commander, as your superior and friend I did not allow you to make the choice then, nor do I allow you to make the choice now." She said as her friends shoulders drooped.
"That choice lies with your two daughters," she said as she hugged her friend.
Negi began to slowly get back up when he suddenly realized that he was naked under the sheets. Blushing he looked towards the two guards who watched him blush.
"Umm…could you two give me some privacy please." He asked still blushing.
The two at the flap looked at each other then left the tent. Sighing Negi began to get up when suddenly he fell forward, the ground racing up towards his face. He braced himself for the inevitable when suddenly two hands grabbed him from behind the arm and pulled him up. Blushing once more he came face to face with both Hana and Sakura. Now this wouldn't be so bad however he was naked.
"Ummm…Sakura-san, Hana-san could you two go and wait outside for me?" he begged them.
Shaking her head Sakura opened her mouth to speak when Hana spoke up.
"NOPE! Sorry Negi-sama but we are under orders from higher ups than you. To and I quote 'Do not let him leave your site for a minute,' which means mister I'm going to go run off and disappear. That your naked little ass will just have to deal with us starring at…
BONK
"OWWW" cried Hana lying on the ground cradling her head.
"What my sister meant to say Negi-sama; is that no, we are not allowed to give you any more leeway ,on this issue. As we are now your Guardian Angels; upon graduation, from our mother lessons. We are now to guard you 24hrs a day," she said, finishing with a bow.
After which Negi passed out.
Hana giggled as she looked on toward the naked Negi's body with a blush.
"Oooh, sister could we perhaps take a peak!" Hana begged her sister to which her immediate shock was her sister too giggling.
"I see no reason sister mine. After all if all goes well we will be seeing more of it at some point." She said in a perverted way, as she flipped Negi over.
A few minutes later when their mother walked in though she thought she was in jungle with all the moisture in the air. However upon looking at the ground were her daughters lay and the spot in which a naked Negi was with a morning wood. She laughed. Who would have guessed her daughters would turn out to be such perverts.
After the whole fiasco Negi and his new 'bodyguards', all went outside his tent and to Negi's immense surprise everyone there that was in a GA uniform; showed amazing respect towards him. Noticing Negi's reactions Sakura strolled up behind him, and quietly whispered to him.
"That is because you were able to give the whole core a taste of reality. When no one was able to find you, we were worried that you had been killed." She finished slightly cuffing the back of his head.
"Yeah well sorry sheesh, I mean it is bad enough that the GA General aka. Your guys's mom; hounded me for info then she went and insisted she go and talk with Master," he spoke.
Nodding her head Sakura quickly pulled back and joined her sister. She very well knew why her mother had taken off. It was to make his new current rank; which he did not know yet, more concrete.
"So…what do you think he should be?" Evangeline asked with a barely contained smirk.
Victoria groaned, as she playfully started to remove her blood red stars on her cloak.
"Just give him my job and I'll gladly retire, heavens now I'm too old for this," she said playfully trying to get Evangeline into taking them. However this century it seemed like Evangeline had gotten smarter as she poked Victoria with a stick.
"No, I was thinking of promoting him to Brigadier General; what do you think? General," she said playfully.
Victoria moaned as she couldn't wait to hear how her daughters took that. She was going to make him colonel also but she did have to agree the only one better than him that was a live, was herself.
"Fine but the girls are not going to like this at first," she said.
However as if it didn't even bother her, Evangeline just threw her Negi's new star.
"Just remember General, no tattoos till he graduates from me," she said with a wicked grin. Gulping Victoria nodded than quickly Shadow jumped back to the clearing.
"NEGI SPRINGFIELD-MCDOWELL!" Victoria bellowed out amongst the gathered crowd. Surprised Negi slowly made his way through the many females and was hearing things he'd rather had not hear.
"mmm I'd tap that girl"
"Ohhh I know, it's been so long since someone that was male ever order me around,"
Flushing a bright cherry red, Negi finally made it to the front where Victoria was standing with a glistening black box.
As he stepped up next to Victoria the crowd became hushed.
"Guardian Angels, look upon our newest member…why just a few hours ago he was a meer private, but now after discussing with Evangeline-Sama I have proclaimed a new title for him," and with that she threw open the box.
A giant intake of breathes surrounded the entire group, in the black box was a brilliant blood red star. And negi was amongst the ones to gasp.
"Upon the commands of both I General of the Guardian Angels and by the Approval of our Mistress Evangeline McDowell I hear by promote, Negi Springfield-McDowell to Brigadier General."
After the ceremony that had followed Negi made a hasty retreat back to Evangeline's room. The girls had bid him a good night and after a long day Negi was feeling the effects of the days past. So after he had undressed and slipped under the sheets Negi drifted off into sweet oblivion.
Victoria once again appeared before Evangeline, however her etiquette and posture; along with the fact she still had her face buried in the ground from bowing. Showed Evangeline that something was truly serious for her friend to act as such.
"Rise General Victoria and state your dilemma," she stated cautiously.
"Forgive me mistress for I may have been a bit over energetic with Negi's training earlier this week," she said, getting a frown on Evangeline's face.
"Now, I understand that you feel that way but tell me in what way could you have possibly felt that way but how is that possible," she questioned, Victoria.
"Please Mistress I dare not speak, view my mind I shall not resist," she begged again lowering her head. Sighing Evangeline rose and dove gently into her friends mind. Scene after scene of the alleged 'abuse' flashed past her. Sighing finally after finding what she was looking for. Evangeline released Victoria.
Victoria went to one knee so quickly that it left a dent in the rock below.
"Forgive me Mistress,…"
"There is nothing to forgive, My Friend." She said raising Victoria to her feet.
"You were in the presence of an unknown threat and that threat happened to be Negi, however next time instead of rocks how about using something lighter lick a toy ball the humans play with," she said smiling at her friend.
And with that they sat and talked well into the night.
