Takeo looked at her and smiled. "Nope, not until you try and talk to Konoka-Chan." Takeo answered, with a straight face.
Setsuna looked at him with an embarrassed expression.
"Hey, come on. It's not that hard, just talk to her." Takeo added.
"He is right, Setsuna-Sama." Shiro stated.
Both of them started walking outside, Asuna looked as they were leaving.
"I still can't believe Takeo has such an adorable familiar, and we're stuck with that perverted ermine." Asuna stated, with a slight sigh.
Outside Shiro quickly transformed into his adult form, Takeo jumped on and Shiro ascended into the sky.
"It must be hard staying your pup form." Takeo stated, with a look of concern.
"It's not so bad, plus all those girls seem to like me in that form." Shiro stated.
"I wonder what they will do, when they see you like this." Takeo said, with a large grin.
"Hey it kind reminds me of the day we first met." Shiro stated, as he looked into the sky.
"You're right, I remember it being a day like this." Takeo responded.
Eight Years ago, a seven year old Takeo was walking through the hall of magic school. In his hand was a magic wand, he looked at with an irritated expression.
"Seriously why would I need a wand, when I have this Dharma?" Takeo asked himself with a slight sigh.
He looked outside, and saw a dark cloud looming over the school.
"That's weird, there wasn't supposed to be a storm today." Takeo thought to himself.
He suddenly looked back and saw a large number of students running past him.
"Hey what's going on?" Takeo asked one of them.
"Oh, Takeo-San. There was a dangerous Raiju reported in the courtyard." One of the female students answered.
"A Raiju!?"Takeo thought with an interested look.
He quickly ran over and saw a large number of teachers surrounding a medium sized white wolf cladded in lightning.
"Where is it?" The wolf asked, as he fired off an electrical shockwave.
Sending the teachers flying to the ground, the Raiju looked forward and saw Takeo in the crowd.
"The Lightning Dharma?" The Raiju called out, he charged at Takeo.
The other students were running away, but Takeo stood in place.
"What're you doing Takeo-San?" One of the younger students asked.
"That does not…." The Raiju stated, but he slammed into the barrier the necklace created. "…belong to you."
The Raiju fell on the ground, in a daze. Takeo walked over and sat down in front of the Raiju.
"Does this belong to you?" Takeo asked, as he showed it to him.
"No, that belong to my master. My family have sworn to protect him, but someone stole to Dharma from him." The Raiju stated. "I've come to retrieve it."
Takeo looked at the wolf with a thinking expression, and he smiled.
"How about this, you become my ally and when I don't need this anymore I'll give it back." Takeo answered, with a mischievous smile.
"W-What, kind of deal is that?" Raiju answered, with an angered expression.
"My dad gave this to me, it'd be a shame if I gave it to someone else. So I was thinking when I grow up, and I don't need to anymore. I could give it back to you." Takeo answered.
"Fine, but you're just as reckless as him." The Raiju stated, but looked at Takeo making a thinking face. "What?"
"I was wondering what I should call you. Uh, thunderbolt, bolt, sparky or…" Takeo answered. "I'm not a house pet and those are ridiculous names!" The Raiju shouted.
"I know, but the last one was Shiro. Because of your white fur." Takeo stated.
"Sh-Shiro, I actually like that one." The Raiju stated. "What is your name?"
Takeo held his hand out, and placed his hand on Shiro's head.
"My name is Takeo Narukami." Takeo answered.
"Alright, then. Takeo-Sama, I'll become your ally until I get that necklace back." Shiro stated, as he turned into his pup form.
Immediately all the younger girls started fawning over how adorable Shiro was, which shocked the teachers and staff.
"Did Takeo-Kun just, befriend a Raiju and tamed him?" One of the teachers asked.
"I knew Chidori-San said he'd be an exceptional student, but I was never expecting this." Another teacher added.
"What'd you expect, the Narukami Clan is known for producing exceptional mages." Another teacher stated, with a smile.
Both Takeo and Shiro were still flying in this sky with smiles on their face.
"Who knows maybe it's time I gave it back." Takeo stated, as he looked into the sky.
"Maybe so, but it became more than just getting the Dharma back. You truly become someone, I'd call a friend." Shiro stated, with a smiled.
Both of them started laughing together, as they continued flying through the sky.
[Uhyahhh!]
Both Takeo and Shiro looked towards the hotel's open back and saw Kazumi behind sent flying.
"Oh, great! Shiro go!" Takeo commanded, with a surprised expression.
Shiro rushed towards Kazumi as lightning fast speeds. Takeo immediately caught her in his hands.
"Seriously, it's like I'm always catching the people class one way or another." Takeo stated, as he looked at Kazumi.
"T-Takeo-Kun, are you a Mage too?" Kazumi asked, which stunned both Takeo and Shiro.
"Kazumi-Chan, exactly why were you flying?" Takeo asked.
"Uh, I wasn't exactly flying. But…" Kazumi answered, and she started explaining what happened.
"I see, well are you still going to tell the media about Negi-Kun being a mage?" Takeo asked.
"Why not? Not only will it make me into a famous reporter, but it'll give both you and Negi-Sensei great publicity. Aren't you two tired of acting like a normal teacher and student?" Kazumi asked.
"Kazumi-Chan, of course I am. Plus if everyone in class knew about magic it would make it easier to keep them safe." Takeo answered. "But that would also be bad both me and Negi-Kun. For one Negi-Kun would be turned into an Ermine. And if the people from the other side found out I was here, they'd probably capture me."
"Wait, then we wouldn't be able to see you two anymore." Kazumi said, feeling conflicted until Takeo smiled at her. "Look there'll be plenty of opportunities for you to become a great reporter. And I'm sure you can do it without exposing magic." Takeo stated.
"W-Well, when you put it that way. I won't expose yours or Negi-Sensei's secret." Kazumi said, with a slight blush.
"Alright, Shiro you can land now." Takeo said.
Once Shiro landed he immediately transformed back into his pup form.
"I still can't believe, that large wolf was Shiro." Kazumi stated, with a smile.
"Yea, well…" Takeo started, but was stopped as he heard the door to the open bath open.
"Ah, Kazumi-San what're you doing?" Ayaka asked.
"I should probably put her down." Takeo thought to himself.
"We told you to investigate Negi-Kun. Not try and flirt with Takeo-Kun!" Yuna stated, as they pointed at them.
[Hotel Lounge]
"Are you kidding me?! Out everyone who could've found about your secrets it just had to be the Paparazzi Girl." Asuna said, with a slight sigh.
"I didn't have a choice, that little cat would've died." Negi responded, as he cried anime tears.
"Well, chances are that cat would've noticed the car and jump out of the way." Takeo stated, which only made Negi even more depressed.
"Ta-Kun." Setsuna called out, as she glared at him.
"Se-Chan." Takeo responded.
"Well I guess it's been good knowing you, you'll be turned into an ermine and Takeo will be sent back for a crime he didn't commit." Asuna said, in a mocking tone.
Making Negi cry more and more anime tears, Takeo looked away with the very thought of it tarrying him.
"Heeey, Negi-Sensei. Takeo-Kun." Kazumi called out, as she walked in with Chamo on her shoulder and Shiro walking beside her.
"Hey, Kazumi! Don't pick on him. He's just a kid." Asuna stated, as she looked at Negi's panicked expression.
"I'm not picking on him, I'm on your side now. I, News Club Breaking News Division Kazumi Asakura has been moved by Takeo-Kun's words. So now I'll be working as your agent to keep both of your secrets safe." Kazumi stated, with a smile.
"Really?!" Negi asked, with an elated expression.
