Chapter 1: Together We Stand
----------------------------------------------

"Do you have everything?"

I reluctantly nod towards Ms. Shizuna, my newly assigned guardian/parole officer.

I really am going to miss this room. It's funny, I didn't actually spend a lot
of time here but it feels like I've lived here all my life. This place had somehow
become a real home, my first home. It was here that I was no longer alone.

My head bowed with an unfamilar pang in my chest, I pick up my battered old
suitcases in either hand. Somehow in the months since my arrival I've managed to
acquire a lot of new things since both of them are overstuffed to the point where
I'm afraid that they might burst out if they're jostled too heavily. Even the pack
on my back is straining at the seams and without the assistance provided by my magic
it is doubtful that I'd even be able to lift any of them, let alone all of them together.

uh oh! Shizuna-sensei... advisor/parole officer
either someone got in trouble... or someone wants in on the action :snigger:

I feel sorry for poor Negi, tho I wonder how all his Ministra will react at the current status of their Master ^_^

 

[ttestagr]

Negi's leaving Asuna's room T_T


He will get some quality cuddling time with Shizuna when he sneaks into her bed though :snigger:

they might start a riot :snigger: :snigger: :snigger: but i wonder who negi's new roomate will be if there will even be one they might just put him in single room :huh.:

Asuna and Konoka are waiting for me by the door. There are tears in both girls eyes
and it makes me feel awful knowing that I am the cause of them.

"You'll remember to stay in touch, right Negi-kun," Konoka asks sadly as she sniffles
into the damp hankie she clutches in both hand.

"Konoka-san, I'm only moving into the teacher's housing complex down the street. I'll still
see you and everyone else in class and after school." I gently remind her.

"Though I might see more of some of you there then others." I say lightly as I look at Asuna.

Unfortunately it doesn't seem like my first Pactio partner is in the mood for jokes.

She grabs me by both shoulders and pulls me towards her tearstained face.

"Listen up, brat. No ducking out on regular bathing and remember to actually wash your hair
with shampoo instead of just running it under the water like you always do. It's not fair to
Shizuna-sensei to make her have to keep any eye out for you all the time like I had to-"

Asuna's voice trails off as she looks down at the ground, her hands squeezing my shoulders tightly.

"Asuna-san, I-"

I find myself blinking back my own tears now. We must both look pretty silly, the two of us standing
here together. Both of us unable to find the right words to say what we're feeling inside. Even though
both of us already know. I swallow back the lump in my throat and try again.

"Asuna-san. Thank you. For everything."

 

[ttestagr]

Hmmm, the first person perspective reads kinda awkwardly, but its good to see more of this! MOAR

 

[TenguPhule]

"Baka Negi. Always the English Gentleman."

Asuna sniffs but the words seem have helped her get back on balance.

"If you need help..."

She looks me straight in the eye, the unspoken words between us hanging heavily in the silence.

"I know."

I smile at her, a real smile this time.

Shizuna coughs softly, a polite reminder that its time to go.

"I'll see you in class tomorrow, both of you. Don't be late."

Konoka breaks down completely and starts sobbing on Asuna's shoulder as
her friend gently rubs her on the back.

I turn away, noticing as I do that Setsuna is watching us from down the hallway by the corner.
She vanishes from sight at my short nod. It will be best if the dean's granddaughter
is comforted by her close friends and my continued presence here will not help matters any.

I walk away from my first home without turning back.

-------------------

"Ah! You two are-"

I gape, unable to believe who is standing there in Shizuna Sensei's home.

 

[hawker_748]

It's BACK! :yay:

Took a while, but worth the wait.

:mmm:

 

[TenguPhule]

"Strawberries-"

My hands clamp over my treacherous mouth just one second too late.

The tall blonde turns bright red at this reminder of our encounter.

"You-you-" she sputters, seemingly unable to find the right words.

Why is it that the very first thing that sprang to my mind when I saw them
was the memory of the underwear? Okay, granted I could be considered
something of an expert on the subject by this point given how much
of it I've seen since arriving on campus. But really, maybe Chamo
was having a bad influence on me after all.

"Negi, this is Takane D. Goodman and Mei Sakura. They will be assisting
me in monitoring your probation on campus."

"Um, I'm really sorry about what happened! It was an-"

In hindsight, it was probably not such a good idea to bow in the middle of my apology
as Miss Sakura decided to bow in response at the same time and we smacked heads with
a dull thud. Bright Lights briefly flashed across my vision as I clutched at the aching
spot where we'd connected.

"Mei," I heard Miss Goodman call out to her companion as she headed towards her.

Had my head not been so dizzy with pain I probably would have known better then to try
and reach out my hands to steady myself. I certainly wouldn't have clutched onto such
a flimsy handhold as a short school skirt. And I really should have let go once I lost my
balance and headed towards the floor face first.

At least the cloth didn't tear, it just followed me to the ground.

There was a brief moment of silence as the very room seemed to be holding its breath.

And then the screaming began.

 

[Prince Charon]

:snigger: :yay: Nice.

 

[Mev852]

Negi never gets a break.Hopefully Takane won't decide to finally give him one, eh? :lol:

 

[mickl3]

lulz... nice

Seriously though... awesome idea... I never really liked the ending of the anime, but i can stand it if this is what happens after XD

Sadly it still means that the pactios that the anime makers thought up of were crappy. REALLY crappy... and we never saw Evangeline's... unless it was thoes fireballs which would be even sadder than it was before. If possible, are you going to remake all of them? D: Or at least upgrade them from what we saw? >.<

Hm... o shit. I just remembered that the pactio releases latent power... meaning Eva's back~ No more messing with her I guess...

You still have to have him train cause he's pretty weak as it is right now :V

-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-

The evening meal was a strained affair as the four of us sat and ate.

Most of the afternoon had been spent putting all of my things away and settling into
my new room. It was slightly smaller then the dorm room but as I was the only one in
it there was actually more space available for my collection of magical tools and equipment.

I had looked at this as one of the bright spots to my transfer, for the first time since
coming to Mahora I could finally organize all of my wands, staves, charms, athanes
and potion ingredients out in the open instead of leaving them in my suitcase.

Mei had called me down to dinner from the hallway outside. As soon as I'd opened the door
she'd fled as if I was going to attack and strip her the moment I saw her. Given how
our last two encounters had gone I couldn't really blame her for that, but at the same
time I didn't want this to become a part of my new daily routine in this house.

Shizuna-sensei had ordered take-out from the Chao Bao Zi and the food was still hot when
I got to the table. Takane and Mei both sat on the opposite side from me while Ms. Shizuna
was at the head of the polished oak table. Neither of the two girls seemed inclined to
make any dinner conversation and I felt a sharp pang of loss for the cheerful meals
that Konoka had cooked and served in the dorm.

"So Negi, what are your plans now?"

I blinked at this unexpected question, a piece of sliced lotus root in my chopsticks
hovering in front of my mouth.

"I beg your pardon?"

 

[grant]

A strange place to leave off at. Glad to see this updated (after being totally unaware of its existence) and hope it moves on.

 

[zeebee1]

Strange isn't the word I'd use.

 

[Spaz]

IT LIVES.

 

[zeebee1]

Not right now it doesn't.
