    Chapter I (Part 1: first day)


    ¡°Curse you, you blasted demon!!!¡± An old man slammed his hand down on the wooden table, spilling a cup of water and pointing to a pile of paperwork in front of him.


    ¡°I will tame you, you never ending beast and that day would be-¡°


    ¡°Friday, if you keep ranting like that headmaster.¡± A figure in a tan ripped coat, black shirt and black pants, with a wrapped, wooden, staff in his hands, cut him off. With him was a girl his height, wearing the same thing but in red and no staff. She was standing slightly behind him to his left.


    ¡°Nice to see you my boy! The last time I saw you. You were a ten year old brat that worried more than a woman in labor now you¡¯re an older brat that stopped worrying!¡± The dean chucked while stealing glances at the girl.


    ¡°Now you¡¯re the old uncle at the family reunion no one wants to see or meet. Let¡¯s get down to business I want to leave the fast track and become a teacher with her.¡± The young man removed his hood.


    ¡®Man I hope Mr. Takahata will be sensei (teacher) this year.¡¯ Asuna thought cheerfully as she ran to school.


    Today was the start of a new year in Jr. High for the students of Mahora Academy and more important, another year for Asuna to try to make Mr. Takahata fall in love with her.


    Asuna was a brash girl with long orange hair; tied in twin, side, pony tails using two red bows attached to two bells each, and her eyes were per say unique. Her right eye green and her left blue.


    ¡°Come on Konoka we¡¯re going to be late!¡± she yelled to her brunette friend.


    Konoka, best friend to Asuna and is very how you say¡­ dense¡­ most of the time. Well¡­ she not dense but she is¡­ how you say this in a nice way? She¡¯s an airhead, but a smart air head. She had long hair and dark brown eyes.


    ¡°But Asuna,¡± the brunette whined. ¡°Your too fast plus you¡¯re not on roller-skates; which still make me wonder how you do that.¡± She giggled.


    ¡°Excuse me for being fit.¡±


    ¡°For you gain Takahata¡¯s heart. All you need to do is yell Takahata six times and run around a tree.¡±


    ¡°TAKAHATA! TAKAHATA! TAKAHATA! TAKAHATA! TAKAHATA! TAKAHATA!¡± She yelled while running around the tree. Everybody sweat dropped as they avoided the ¡®crazy¡¯ girl.


    ¡°I DIDN¡¯T THINK YOU WOULD DO THAT. I guess you really would do anything for Takahata-sensei.¡± Konoka tried to hide the first part under her breath but Asuna heard her like she was yelling.


    ¡°I really would kill you.¡±


    ¡°Pardon me ladies but ¡®Your love will be unrequited.¡¯¡± A young man about the age of them; which is fifth teen, skated next to them.


    Chapter II (Part 2: first day)


    ¡°Pardon me ladies but ¡®Your love will be unrequited.¡¯¡± A young man about the age of them; which is fifth teen, skated¡­err hovered next to them.


    He had brownish-red, shoulder length hair and two strains of hair sticking out; one is up the other down. (No ponytail) He had warm brown eyes but over right eye was a long, crooked, scar. Behind him was a young lady that looked almost exactly like him except the ends of her hair was white and she didn¡¯t have a scar over eye. She had her arms wrapped around him.


    ¡°Aniki (big brother)¡­¡± The girl glared. Asuna and the strange boy felt the anger rolling off of her.


    ¡°Y-Y-yes m-my beautiful s-sister.¡± He was sweating up a storm as her eyes took a deathly glow.


    ¡°Never, I mean NEVER, say that to a girl unless you want an early death. Okay.¡± She said the threat sweetly¡­too sweet.


    The teen looked like he seen the devil as he flew away at break neck speeds, leaving the girls in their dust. Asuna glared at their retreating forms and swore to give him unimaginable hurt while Konoka thought they looked like a cute family.


    **Later**


    ¡°Did you have to do that baka (idiot)?¡± The girl asked as she reached a large door.


    ¡°Uh¡­Yeah.¡± The boy smirked and opened the door.


    ¡°¡­¡±


    ¡°¡­¡±


    *Thump*


    ¡°¡­I know what you mean¡­¡±


    The two um¡­one (?) looked over the room. The room was large enough to fit a small house and a shed. On both sides were two separate libraries. In the front were a desk, few couches, small table, in the center of it and a large widow that started at one end of the room to the other. Seating in front of the said desk was an elder man working. He had VERY large eyebrows, squinted eyes, a¡­uh¡­um unique head shape, and a long beard.


    The teen carried his sister, which was kind of hard since she did try to hit him in her sleep. After five attempts and one knock out, he finally carried/dragged her on the couch, only for her to wake up once she hit the couch.


    ¡°HOHOHOHO,¡± the man laughed, ¡°It¡¯s good to see good blood between you two.¡± That instantly gained their attention.


    ¡°*Cough* My name is Sage Springfield and the dope is my twin brother Negi.¡± Sage gave a small bow while Negi did a mock solute.


    ¡°I see, my name is Konoemon Konoe. I¡¯m the dean of Mahora Academy. So you training to be a mage are to be a teacher in Japan with your sister Hm? That¡¯s quite a job. HOHOHO! Good luck!¡± the twins glared at the dean, ¡°I¡¯ll call someone of scour you to your classes, but before that.¡± The dean showed them a picture of Konoka. ¡°What do you think of my granddaughter, Negi-kun?¡±


    ¡°She seems happy and she is very cute, but you¡¯re trying to hook me up with her, J¨©-san (Old man). You¡¯re wrong; I can¡¯t date, marry, or become her friend before meeting her. If we do like each other I might think about it. Plus that mean I can date any student I chose. Right dean?¡± Negi turn around and walked smack dab into someone¡¯s chest. Negi realized his situation and started to sputter apologizes while bowing to her comically.


    The woman had aqua blue hair that ended at her behind, glasses, and dark violet eyes. She wore a brown skirt that ended at her ankles, a purple long-sleeved turtle neck, crystal earrings and a red necklace. She didn¡¯t seem bothered that Negi ran into her breasts but amused. Negi looked at the woman and forced blushed down before anyone would notice.


    ¡°My name is Shizuna Minamoto. I¡¯ll show you to your classes, Negi and Sage Springfield.¡± Shizuna winked at them. Sage raised an eyebrow, ¡°Are all the teachers here laid back like you are?¡± She just chuckled at the question.


    She led them to the classroom of 2A. They watched as the students talked, ate, or were playing. *coughcoughFuukaFumikacough*


    ¡°I hope they won¡¯t give you too much trouble. Now here¡¯s the class roster to help you identify your students.¡± Shizuna handed them the roster before she left.


    Negi grabbed the door and winked to Sage. A chalk eraser fell, but Sage caught it and activated a trap by stepping on the trip wire. Negi easily caught the falling bucket of water while walking and Sage avoided the arrows without making any new movements. The class was surprised to someone dodge all the pranks without stopping or with minimal movement and all else the same age as them.


    ¡°Do you think that was a bit over board?¡± Sage glanced at a smirking Negi. ¡°No, overboard would to be blindfolded, dodge all the traps and do a series of back flips while tied up.¡± She rolled her eyes at the boy comment. She turned and faced their class.


    ¡°Hello I¡¯m your new co-teacher of this year Sage Springfield and my twin brother is your English teacher Negi Springfield. I hope we get along this year.¡± She smiled while Negi was scanning his class. His brown eyes met heterochromia eyes.


    ¡°Ah! Asuna-san I apologize for earlier this morning, but I had to read your fortune to you.¡± This raised a lot of eyebrows as the students stared at the blushing girl.


    ¡®Didn¡¯t he have a scar?¡¯ ¡°How do you know me, brat!? We just met and now you think you know all about me!¡± Asuna stormed up to him with flames a blazing. Negi looked at Sage like he asking permission for something, but shook her head confusing those who saw the interaction.


    Negi easily dodged all of Asuna¡¯s punches. Finally after a few seconds he grew bored and when Asuna went of an upper cut he used it as a spring board, flipped over to a smirking Sage. He turned to the ot of breath girl, ¡°Your punches are great, and powerful. You just need to work on your speed. Now do any of you ladies have question for me?¡± Silence was the last thing Negi knew before he was surrounded by girls.


    ¡°How old are you?¡±


    ¡°Are you single?¡±


    ¡°Where did you learn those moves de gozaru?¡±


    ¡°Are you really twins?¡±


    Sage felt sorry and angry at her brother. First she felt sorry for Negi because he was bomb boarded with questions and stuck in a tight space but she disliked the fact that the tight place was the middle of a girl tsunami. That changed to laughter as Negi was manhandled by an angry Asuna.


    ¡°I¡¯ll protect you sensei from the beast.¡± the blonde with long hair and green eyes, knelt to Negi, holding his hand. ¡°I, Ayaka Yukihiro, will protect you from the de-¡°the now known Ayaka was cut off as Asuna foot was slammed into her head.


    ¡°Shut Up! Do you ALWAYS have to be this annoying?¡± She emphasized.


    ¡°To answer the questions asked, I¡¯m 15, we are twins, currently I¡¯m single and I learned how to fight from my mother? Sister? Friend? Hmm, it complicated.¡± Everyone sweat dropped. ¡°Did you say de gozaru Kaede-Chan?¡± He stared at a tall student with blondish-green hair in a long, thin, fishtail ponytail and squinted eyes.


    ¡°Yes. Thank you for remembering my name Negi-bozu.¡± She gave him a fox smile with a light blush. He returned the smile and walked back to Sage with his hands stuffed in his pockets.


    She knew that face. ¡°We¡¯re not going to teach them a single thing.¡± She deadpanned; his smile grew in to a Cheshire smile.Unauthorized use of content: if you find this story on Amazon, report the violation.


    ¡°Maybe, maybe not. May we learn not and learn nor. Learning nothing is to learn something not thou knows not now tomorrow and learn in past but learnt never. Shall we teach nothing to the smart of nothing and something students of ne?¡± a hat similar to the mad hatter appeared on his head.


    ¡°Please no crazy talk today.¡± Sage rubbed temples while the class of 2A stared at Negi.


    ¡°That is non-possible thou we all are mad.¡± Negi lost the act as he laughed at his sister twitch. She hit him on his head as the others sweat dropped.


    ¡°Anyway I decided that today you guys would learn about us.¡± Negi stood up nursing the lump on his head. ¡°So we will play a little game of truth or dare.¡± Most of the girls looked at Negi with stars or hearts in their eyes while they others looked shocked, confused, or just plain annoyed. ¡°Rules: Anything extreme will not be allowed like walking around the class naked is out. No calling the same person twice. Kissing is allowed if both people agree. Sage and I can only be called three times per student. Other than that anything is allowed. Oh and you can say no to three questions or dares before you have to do what they say. To be free you must tell a crazy secret or do a wild dare without any one telling you to.¡± The teacher twins smirked as the teens chose to do the game.


    Chapter III (part 3: First Day)


    ¡°Rules: Anything extreme will not be allowed like walking around the class naked is out. No calling the same person who gave you whatever. Kissing is allowed if both people agree. Sage and I can only be called three times per student. Other than that anything is allowed. Oh and you can say no to three questions or dares before you have to do what they say. To be free you must tell a crazy secret or dare without any one telling you to.¡± The teacher twins smirked as the teens chose to do the game.


    ¡°Sage starts.¡±


    She pointed to a very tall girl with long dark brown hair, dark skin, and yellow/green eyes. Some of the hair was used to make bangs that frame the side of her head and ended at her stomach. ¡°Uh *looks at roster* Mana-Chan truth or dare?¡±


    ¡°Dare.¡± This causes Sage to gain a creepy smile that made many girls including the unfearing Mana think twice. ¡°I dare you to dance to the craziest music I have.¡± Then she appeared next to Mana like she teleported there and whispered in her ear causing Mana to blush.


    ¡°Deal.¡± Mana thinks she¡¯s in the clear because there is nothing to play music at¡­ that all ended when Sage brought a portable music player and speakers while Negi took out a video camera and a sign that said ¡®I cant help you¡¯.


    *song plays* (can be any song)


    Mana blushed when the song played but did what had to do. Three minutes later and Negi had a nosebleed but still up, Mana on the verge of fainting, Sage rolling on the ground laughing, a few students passed out from laughing too hard, and everyone else but Sage (she¡¯s too busy laughing) face is red from trying not laughing.


    ¡°D-d-d-did y-y-you have t-to dance t-to that song!¡± Negi was, surprisingly the first to speak and not laugh. Mana looked at the giggling Sage since she controlled herself (not), and nodded. ¡°What a stupid dare.¡±


    ¡°Hey! I¡¯m just trying to get you a girlfriend!¡± Sage yelled. ¡°In a humorous way.¡±


    ¡°Oh yes. I need your wonderful help because I can¡¯t get a girlfriend when I¡¯m not looking for one. Oh! Thank you ¡®wise¡¯ one, Blah!¡± Few of the girls giggled at his response.


    ¡°Kaede truth or dare.¡± Mana asked the squinted eyed girl, her rival.


    ¡°Truth.¡± Kaede backed away from dark skinned girl when an evil smile crossed her face


    ¡°What¡¯s the most embarrassing thing you did?¡± Kaede paled and refused to speak about it instead she asked Negi truth or dare.


    ¡°Dare.¡±


    ¡°I dare you to choose dare for the whole game de gozaru.¡±


    ¡°If I don¡¯t like the dare I can chose truth.¡±


    ¡°Fine, but you can¡¯t say no for the rest of the game.¡±


    ¡°Deal.¡±


    The whole game was boring. Boring as in awesome, the dares and secrets that happened would make any lesser person pass out from laughter, shock, or embarrassment.


    ¡°Negi kiss your sister!¡± A girl long green hair with two cow lick strands, glasses, and somewhat red eyes smirked.


    ¡°Truth!¡± Negi blotted up from the chair he was sitting in.


    ¡°How many girls did you kiss and what were their names!¡± she had a victorious expression when Negi face hit the floor. All the girls even Sage was interested but Sage had an evil grin on her face.


    ¡°Yes Negi who did you kiss?¡± Someone in the background said ¡®Good chooses Paru.¡¯


    ¡°I¡¯ll kiss Sage!¡± this statement shocked the girls.


    ¡°Oh no you won¡¯t!¡± Sage glared at him. She really doesn¡¯t like it when Negi hides stuff from her. It makes her crazier than usual.


    ¡°What do you want so I can? I¡¯m not telling that secret.¡± Negi eyes flickered to the girls then back to Sage.


    ¡°Nothing! Now spill it.¡± Negi looked like he died and found out he had to take a bath.


    Defeated, he mumbled the secret so low none of the girls heard him. MIsa asked him to say it louder. He did at told but low enough where none of them can hear. The cheerleading team grabbed him and told him to yell it out; just when he was about to spill it the bell rang allowing him to use the distraction to run out of the class room.


    *In the headmaster office*


    ¡°Whaaaattt!!!!!¡± the yells rang throughout the campus disturbing the peaceful scenery.


    Negi slammed his hands on the table. ¡°You want me to what!?¡± Sage wasn¡¯t fairing any better as she sat in the corner with despair marks around her while poking the ground.


    The dean sweat dropped. ¡°All I wanted you to do was room with each of the girls for a month each dorm but when you go to Konoka¡¯s you stay for a two months. Your sister can stay with you or another.¡±


    Negi crossed his arms and pouted but agreed none of the less with the deal bending to his will. He told Sage to build a house in the woods and took the number for his new place. He wondered who he would room with as he knocked the door.


    ¡®I hope it¡¯s not with one of those perverts.¡¯ He thought with a sweat drop as the door opened. A beautiful dark-skinned girl opened the door. She had shoulder length white hair, brown-gold eyes, and a green slash mark over her left eye and a light blue tear drop tattoo or marking on her right cheek.


    ¡°¡­¡±


    ¡°Hello to you to Zazie-chan. As for why am I here, we and whoever stays here are roommates.¡± Negi walked in the dorm.


    ¡°?¡± Zazie cocked an eye brow and closed the door, following him.


    ¡°Yes I can understand you. It¡¯s easy once you know how and four words: Dean is a jerk.¡± He heard her give a light laugh behind him. ¡°So who else lives here?¡± Just as he said that Kaede and Mana walked in the living room.


    While they questioned Zazie why he was here (and did not get any answers), he looked around. The dorm had a small kitchen, one midsized bathroom, two bedrooms, and a small study above the kitchen that looks barely used. The living room had coffee table, a couch and a few pillows to sit on. Negi sat on the couch writing in a book that appeared out of nowhere.


    ¡°Excuse me, *the girls looked at him* but can you girls keep secrets? *nod* Good, I never been for them except when my sister is evolved or certain situations. Do any of you know what a mage is?¡± He said it casually like he always talks about it; they looked puzzled but nodded any way. ¡°I¡¯m a mage.¡± Kaede half-opened both eyes in shock, since she didn¡¯t know they were real. Zazie and Mana was surprised, not the same reason as Kaede, but because he could be turned into an ermine for reveling such secret. Although, it seemed he didn¡¯t care one bit of that fact.


    ¡°You know you could be turned into an ermine right?¡± Mana was shocked but covered it well.


    ¡°As I said before I don¡¯t like them and I¡¯m bored. Kaede, I knew you didn¡¯t know before it told but just keep it hidden for now.¡± He closed his book and summons his things there. ¡°Would I bother you if I use magic on the small study area?¡± He looked at the girls kindly as they shook their heads.


    Climbing up the kitchen ladder his finger glowed. He reached the top and pointed his finger towards the wall. It shined for a minute before a door appeared. He waved them over before he entered his new room.


    They saw it was a white bedroom with strange designs written on the walls; inside was a small room was a hammock and a place to work at.


    ¡°This is this?¡± Kaede asked with one of her brown eyes half-open.


    ¡°It¡¯s a spell I created since I used to travel much. I had to move my belongs but before it looked different.¡± Negi hanged a gun, a few pictures, and three torches. ¡°You can look through my things, but they can¡¯t leave my room.¡± He opened a compartment in the right wall that became a shelf and placed books.


    Zazie was reading an epic poem, Kaede studying from an ancient scroll, and Mana observed the guns Negi had. Once he was done redecorating it did look like a different place and the walls turned a different color. The floor was had black carpet and his ceiling was a dark brown with the side walls a clay brown, near his hammock was a window.


    ¡°Alright girls you can stay here ¡®till I come back. Oh and I apologize for my¡­strange sister behavior, Mana-chan.¡± Negi waved and left the room. The girls stopped doing what they were and looked at another in silence.


    ¡°So,¡± Kaede talked first, ¡°What do you think of Negi-bozu? I think he¡¯s¡­different.¡±


    Mana smirked, ¡°Careless but from how looked at us in class he knew we know about magic or something important. That in tells he¡¯s smarter than what he looks or acts. What you think Zazie?¡±


    Zazie didn¡¯t look up. ¡°¡­I like sensei¡­¡± They both stared at the girl who rarely spoke until now before retuning back to what they were doing. ¡®I have a feeling this year will be different.¡¯ They both thought at once not knowing how right they were.


    *With Negi*


    ¡®Man I need a drink.¡¯ Negi walked in at the right time as he saw a short but cute girl with blue-purple hair that covered her eyes fall off the steps from carrying too many books at once. Negi used magic to speed himself up then caught all the books and the girl with a little magic slowing her decent where she softly landed in his arms. She opened her eyes to see Negi¡¯s worried face. She uttered an ¡®eep¡¯ and gained a deep blush, noticing they were moving towards the statue. He placed her books on the statue and bent down so she could get off.


    ¡°Nodoka-chan you need to be careful with this many books. If you ever need help call me, please.¡± Negi gave her a gentle smile and a pat on the back before he left a puzzled but flushed Nodoka. He ever notices the other audience that was there.


    After a few minutes of mindlessly wondering he ran into Asuna. He greeted her and followed her even though she gave a rude response. Soon they were arguing about something and walking as they opened a door.


    *POP* *BANG* *POP*


    ¡°WELCOME NEGI AND SAGE SENSEI!¡± the class of 2A sang with poppers in hand.


    ¡°I forgot we had a party for you! That¡¯s why I bought theses and Sage isn¡¯t here!¡± she felt a hand on her shoulder and followed it to Sage. She looked depressed and muttered something about people forgetting her.


    ¡°The guests of honor must sit in the middle.¡± Someone said.


    A girl with her brown hair wrapped in buns and pigtails coming from the buns, a flushed face and brown eyes with another slightly larger girl with brown hair in short ponytails and brown eyes, walked up to him with nikuman (meat buns) ¡°Want one?¡±


    His accepted the offer and with wide eyes he complemented Chao and Satsuki, drawing glares towards the two. He stood up and made two nikuman, gave them to the girls before eating more of theirs, not seeing their happy reactions to his food.


    ¡°Want a drink sensei?¡± The green headed girl handed him a cup.


    ¡°Thank you. What is it Haruna or should I say ¡®Paru¡¯?¡± her eye brow twitched at the way he said her penname.


    ¡°Hot cola.¡±


    ¡°Thanks of the Sake, but can I have the bottle instead?¡± She wondered how he knew it was sake as she brought the bottle to him only sweat drop as he emptied the bottle.


    ¡°Negi-kun! Don¡¯t drink all the bottle!¡± A man with glasses, gray hair, and a cigarette in his mouth warned.


    Negi scuffled. ¡°Why should I listen to you, Takahata, the man who wouldn¡¯t quit smoking? Oh yeah, his also the same man I call ¡®Smokey¡¯ and ¡®Glasses¡¯. That really wants to make me listen to him.¡± He said with utter most sarcasm. Most of girls laughed at his statement but Asuna didn¡¯t like it one bit.


    ¡°Who are you talking to baka?!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m talking to the man who could beat me in a fight, test, or drinking contest.¡± Negi deadpanned. Asuna looked crushed and some others couldn¡¯t believe what they heard ether. Takahata looked embarrassed. A few students wonder how he could beat ¡®Death Glasses¡¯.


    ¡°S-s-sensei,¡± he looked up to see Nodoka standing with something in hand. ¡°Thank you for saving me! Please take this book certificate as a gift. ¡± she bowed thrusting the item to Negi. The classed was teasing Nodoka by saying Honya (Book store) was flirting with Negi. She franticly waved her hands stuttering that she wasn¡¯t flirting while the others laughed or glared.


    Negi slammed his bottle on the table starling a few girls. ¡°I know it fun to tease someone but this is silly.¡± He stood up and padded Nodoka head, much to her embarrassment and the other girls envy. To add on to the embarrassment/envy he made a flower appear and gave it of the already flushed girl.


    ¡°Sensei,¡± another short but cute girl with long, purple, hair and a good poker face, stared at Negi with a drink box in her hands. ¡°Are you a magician?¡± she thought about what she saw before the party.


    *Flashback*


    ¡°Nodoka. Nodoka where are you?¡± Yue searched for her friend. She stopped by the statue for a short rest. She spotted Negi dashing with a dust cloud behind him after the falling girl. She watched as Negi carried the frighten Nodoka in his arm; pat her on the back, then leave.


    *End Flashback*


    ¡°Yes. I am.¡± He made a rabbit appear out of Yue¡¯s ear, coughed a dove, and breathes fire.


    ¡°Can you sing?!¡± The girl that asked had long pink hair and red eyes; she nearly trampled Yue, who dodged from becoming one with the floor by a hair line.


    ¡°Yes I can.¡± He saw their hopeful almost obsessed faces. ¡°Although, I rather not, maybe later.¡± He sweat dropped.


    ¡°Do you fight-aru?¡± The tan transfer student asked with stars in her eyes. She had blond hair in two ponytails on the top of her head while the rest of her hair was down and brown eyes.


    He chuckled. ¡®It¡¯s good to see you too¡­Ku-chan.¡¯ ¡°Maybe.¡± His mischievous yet predator-like smile sent shivers down the girls¡¯ spine while Ku was unaffected as she imagined how strong he was.

 Chapter 4-6: Im doing my best

    Chapter IV (Part 4: First day final)


    The party continued without a hitch. Negi was watching everyone have fun until he saw, from the corner of his eye, Asuna walk up to Takahata but turned around with her head hung before she even made half way to him. He sighed, knowing this is going to bite him in the butt later, but followed Asuna as she ran out the room.


    He followed her to the roof where he saw her looking out campus with tears strolling down her face as the gentle breeze flowed through her hair.


    Negi was mesmerized. He strolled over to her, not making a sound. He stood next to her and watched as the sun went down across the horizon. Without looking at the girl he asked, ¡°You want to talk about it.¡± She gave him a glance. ¡°No.¡±


    Negi gave her a small smile. ¡°Talking about it will make you feel better. I can relate to you.¡±


    She led him to the roof of the staircase. ¡°You see I lo-liked,¡± she corrected herself hoping Negi didn¡¯t hear her slip up. ¡°Someone for a long time but,¡± She clenched her fists turning them white. ¡°I could never tell him. No matter how many times I try!¡± she relaxed her hands. ¡°Maybe¡­ maybe I should give up.¡± A single tear fell.


    Negi gazed at the girl shaking beside him and rubbed her back. ¡°You know I was in the same situation you were, Asuna. I loved this girl but could never tell her because she was to be married off.¡±


    ¡°What did you do?¡± Asuna looked at him.


    ¡°I told her how I felt before she left with her husband. I knew it would be the last time I would see her and gave her all my feelings. I even kissed her, though it was on the cheek.¡± He chuckled. ¡°I felt my heart was at peace after that. That was the first time I love a girl or anyone¡­ it was so far my last. I know she didn¡¯t mean to give me a broken heart but she did.¡± He looked at Asuna with so many emotions on his face but one stood out the most; happiness. ¡°She also gave me important message. There will be ups and downs but have faith for a better future and keep your head up high everything will be better and I will find love.¡± Negi gave her a smile. ¡°Plus confessing to the one you love is one of the hardest challenges you will ever do.¡± Negi looked at the setting sun. ¡°Come on. Let¡¯s get back to the party.¡± He jumped down and helped her then started their trip to the party.


    When they re-arrived, almost everyone hound on them for the details. All Negi said that she convinced him to sing a song of his choosing. Sage led them to a stage near the caf¨¦s. Negi walked up to the microphone and stared out to see his students and a few others he never met.


    The piano started to play and Negi focused his eyes on one girl, Asuna.


    Negi wiped away the tears and gave them a smile. ¡°That was ¡®Thank you for the broken heart¡¯. You know I¡¯m too young for this stuff.¡± Getting a few laughs from the adults. ¡°The next song I¡¯ll sing ¡®Love The Way You Lie¡¯.


    Negi blushed when the crowd (that grew over time) went wild and started to scream his name. He spot Mana smirking, Sage collecting money, Kaede smiling like a fox, and Zazie¡­ where is Zazie? He searched for her energy since her magic is more¡­ potent than others and found her in one of the trees nearby. ¡°Uh¡­ sorry guys that¡¯s enough singing for now isn¡¯t it. Next time I¡¯ll take requests alright. So uh see ya.¡± He walked off stage only to run away from his new fangirls and fanboys.


    After two hours of running from his fans he returned to his dorm. He snuck back to his room hoping not to awaken his roommates since it was 12o¡¯clock. He took off his ripped shirt and dirty t-shirt, reveling horrible scars that littered his body. The worst scars of the dozens was a deep scar that crossed his heart and a large hole shaped one on his back, like something struck his heart and exited through his back. Then another on his arm; it was completely healed but it was still stitched tight.


    He ate his pills, ten in all, washed his face to revel a long, crooked, scar on his right eye and stared at his arm. He shivered when he felt a cold hand trace one of his longer battle scars.


    ¡°You know,¡± he felt the hand stiffen, ¡°It is impolite to enter ones room without asking.¡± He turns around and sees¡­

    Chapter V


    The first light of sun shined through the city/academy awaking the slumbering animals of-


    ¡°AHHHHHHHHHH!!¡± Uh¡­ never mind.


    Negi woke up next to Kaede, whom gave him a bright smile and stared at him with her squinted eyes.


    ¡°Good morning, Negi-bozu.¡± She swung her legs out of her bed. She wore a training gi to sleep.


    ¡°W-w-why w-was I in y-your b-bed!?¡± Negi stutter with a blush. He face was a perfect copy of a deer caught in headlights.


    ¡°You don¡¯t remember- de gozaru?¡± He shook his head. ¡°You wondered in here last night.¡± She stood up and took one step towards Negi (He was cowering in a corner). Fast than she could see, Negi bowed lower than any human can on the ground.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry Kaede-san,¡± She frowned at the suffix. ¡°I used to sleeping in the same bed with my older sister when I was younger so it became a need to sleep with someone. I used a heating pad to stop the need, the desire. It may have fallen somewhere. I apologize, Kaede-san.¡± Negi not once looked up at the girl. He didn¡¯t see her face.


    He tensed when he heard her foot steps and froze when he felt her hand on his face. He slowly looked up to see her curious yet worried expression.


    ¡°Why did it become a need?¡± she helped him up. She was disappointed when he didn¡¯t call her ¨Cchan and became curious when he said his little security act when he was young(er) became a need.


    Negi started to sweat when she asked that question. He looked for any reason to leave but he could think of one.  He sighed and looked at Kaede while Mana and Zazie walked in the room to figure out what woke them up only to see the stare Negi have. Mana narrowed her eyes.


    ¡®That look shouldn¡¯t belong to him.¡¯ She thought in sorrow and confusion.


    His eyes were cold and hardened like he has seen many deaths. His smile was hollow and empty.  He had the eyes of a warrior and smile of a broken soul. He seemed to see through their soul and hearts.


    ¡°I¡¯ll tell all of you about me¡­ one day when the time is right.¡± Negi eyes and smile filled with warmth and life again. ¡°Come on. I need to go.¡± He stopped in mid-step and gave them a strange grin.  He kissed Kaede on the cheek and did the same to the two at the door before he went to his room.


    The girls could only stare at his retreating form with blushes although Zazie¡¯s blush was worse than the others. They looked at Kaede, who shrugged then walked out the room to see Negi dressed and cooking breakfast.


    ¡®Wasn¡¯t he in his room?¡¯ Mana and Kaede thought in sync with sweat drops.


    ¡°Forget what I said earlier. I don¡¯t want you to worry. Plus,¡± he set the dishes on the table and looked at them. ¡°I already have enough of family taking care of me.¡± He sat at the coffee table and started to eat a slice of toast.


    They ate in slightly uncomfortable silence much to Negi¡¯s leisure. Zazie surprisingly broke the silence¡­ sort of.


    ¡°¡­?¡± Zazie glanced at Negi. ¡°I don¡¯t eat meat.¡± He sipped his tea. ¡°?¡± Zazie cocked her head slightly.


    Negi smirked. ¡°If you want to find out then you have to learn why. I don¡¯t like giving easy answers so you have to look for signs.¡±


    Zazie stared at him with narrowed eyes. ¡°¡­?¡±


    ¡°I love games Zazie-chan. If you, including Mana and Kaede, want to learn about me you have to study me. I¡¯ve done the same you young ladies.¡± Mana glared at Negi trying to see through his facade. ¡°Mana-chan,¡± Her glare shot venom. ¡°I would not fool you or anyone here. My interests lead me toward you girls. In fact I was in the same field as Mana-chan but I retired from that old life. I am many things but I¡¯m not a liar.¡± He stood up. ¡°I have to go. See you later and keep what we spoke about to secrete. Chao.¡±  He left the girls to their thoughts.


    *With Negi*


    ¡®Maybe I told them too much. No, I was too private.¡¯ He was so into his thoughts he didn¡¯t see the person in front of him.


    ¡°Ouch!¡± he looked down.


    *With Sage*


    Sage was have a bad day. First the new house she finished, with the help of the woodland creatures, had a hole in the ground¡­ that she fell in. She had to take a bath in the woods. Normally that is nothing now to her but she was followed by the animals. The insects were partially angry. Then she went to change into her suit only to find all of them eaten by moths. She had to buy more and clean them since someone tripped her into the mud. She finally got dressed for work and found out all her food was eaten. She left hungry and angry. Now she has to wait for her stupid brother.


    ¡®I bet he¡¯s having a fun day.¡¯ She thought with absolute venom.


    ¡°Hey Sage.¡± Negi was met with the mother of all glares. ¡°Okay¡­ you need a one day vacation. Don¡¯t go to class today, go to the park or something.¡± She hugged him and took off. He sighed and left for class.


    *In class of 2A*


    Mana was staring at the door waiting for her sensei come. Her mind was still on what he said in the morning.  ¡®¡±I would not fool you or anyone here. My trust is strong for you girls. In fact I was in the same field as Mana-chan but I retired from that old life.¡± What does that mean? He retired from my field?¡¯ Mana thought about the guns in his room and his eyes when he looked at them in the morning. She realized what he meant. ¡°Negi¡­was a-¡±


    Right in that moment Negi opened the door. He sighed as he weaved through another prank by the Narutaki twins. This time they sent five pies and 20 water balloons.


    ¡°Stand!¡± Nodoka yelled and everyone followed. ¡°Bow!¡± they did.


    ¡°Good morning Sensei.¡± They all chorus.


    ¡°Good morning to you all. It¡¯s a pleaser to teach you but my sister has the sniffles. She will be here tomorrow.¡± He half lied.


    ¡°Let¡¯s begin shall we.¡± He wrote the page number and what lines they would read from. ¡°Beautiful roses it maybe but the stars in her eyes may make them seem dull.¡± Negi spoke in English as he walked towards` the window and lowered his book.¡±Thou eyes burn with passion for I love thee. I may be peaty commoner but I will pamper with love and show with affection.¡± Negi had the book behind his back was he stared into the sky. ¡°Do you not see my love you natural fool of a king?! I, thou lover of you daughter will be with her for all entity! You ol¡¯ goat.¡± Negi gave them a sheepish smile. ¡°Uh. Would someone like to try, even a small part? I became too interested in the story.¡± He saw his students shocked faces. ¡°Well?¡± This content has been misappropriated from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.


    They all avoided his gaze, even his roommates.


    ¡°How about Asuna-san, please try your best.¡± He gave her small smile.


    ¡°Wah! Why me?¡± Asuna glared at the red head. ¡°Just try for me.¡± He gave her a begging look.


    ¡°Fine.¡± She huffed, ¡°Uh¡­ Beautiful jams it mayo like jelly something, something what?!¡± Everyone was laughing as her face turned red. She turned to her sensei only to see him laughing also.


    ¡°Wow. That was quite terrible. Let me help you.¡± He stood behind her helped her understand abet better. She completed the passage with small mistakes. ¡°We have left over time to converse on what he was saying. Any ideas on what he was ranting about.¡± A few hands rose.


    ¡°Nodoka.¡±


    ¡°H-he had great love f-for the k-k-king¡¯s daughter b-but the king did n-not allow him to m-m-marry her.¡±


    ¡°Correct Nodoka.¡± She blushed under his praise. ¡°The king didn¡¯t want his daughter to marry such trash, as he would say; he wanted her to marry a strong, very wealthy man. This man is just a commoner, what can he do for him? The commoner knows he is not wealthy but he will pamper in other ways that do not evolve much money but other affections. The king was a fool not to see he wants to care and protect his daughter¡¯s heart.¡± Negi had an air of wisdom around him but also an air of remorse. The rest of the class continued without a hitch. Soon the bell rung telling them class to go to their next class. Negi smiled at his students. ¡°Remember I will hold after school study hall at 4:00. Trust me it will not be boring.¡± He gave them a wave and left.


    Chisame glared at the door Negi left. She had her long, orange hair in a ponytail with a cowlick strand and large glasses, and brown eyes. She snorted. ¡®Why would they let him work with 15 and 16 year old girls? They should only keep competent teachers.¡¯ Then her train of thought went to a few other teachers. ¡®Actually this may help.¡¯ She thought with a sweat drop.


    She gathered her things and left while a few of the girls gossiped and laughed.


    *With Negi near the statue*


    Negi sipped his tea and faintly sang the lyrics to ¡®What a Wonderful World¡¯.


    ¡°N-Negi-sensei¡­¡± Negi looked at Haruna, Yue, and Nodoka (blushing) standing with books in hand.


    ¡°Yes?¡± He smiled at the girls.


    ¡°Excuse us but we have some questions about today¡¯s lessons.¡± Haruna smiled at Negi. He shivered at the feeling that it was a trap.


    ¡°Ask away.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not me sensei.¡± Yue and Haruna pushed Nodoka closer to the slightly younger teen.


    Negi noticed how her hair was parted where you can see her purple eye. ¡°Ah. Nodoka-chan, you changed your hair style. I like it. It makes your beautiful eyes more pronounced.¡± She brightly blushed.


    ¡°So you like Nodoka?¡± Haruna wrapped an arm around him. He gave her wink.


    ¡°Well I do know when three beautiful girls are in front of me and they all have nice and unique personalities. Yeah I like them.¡± He kissed Haruna on the cheek and spoke in her ear. ¡°I knew what your plan was. And I¡¯ll do it my way.¡± He stood up and kissed Yue on her forehead. Then he looked at the other blushing girl and ruffled her hair.


    ¡°Remember, you¡¯re always pretty girls.¡± He kissed Nodoka on the nose making her faint.


    ¡°Bye.¡±  Negi left with his things


    Yue looked at Haruna with suspicious eyes. She spoke. ¡°Did you plan this?¡±


    ¡°Nope, he saw through our plan.¡± Haruna had a dazed look.


    ¡°Then¡­¡± Yue blushed.


    ¡°He was really honest about his feelings and actually kissed us.¡± Haruna dazed look turned into a perverted smile. ¡°Hehehe I can use this in my manga.¡±


    ¡°¡­¡± With that Yue drank her juice with her usual poker face.


    *With Negi*


    ¡®Maybe I shouldn¡¯t have done that.¡¯ Negi thought with a smile. He ran towards the college science lab. Opening the door to Satomi¡¯s lab he called out. ¡°Satomi-chan. May I come in?¡± He heard a muffled response but he entered. After a few minutes of walking and listening to the curses of his student, he found her glaring a blueprint.


    Satomi had her black hair in her usual messy pig tails with a few stands hanging in front of her face. Her white trench coat was covered in oil and other fluids. Her dark eyes were squinted and oil was all over her face.


    Negi smile and took a metal ball out of his pocket. It was grey with three white rings slowly rotating in a counter clock ward fashion. ¡°Go on and help her out.¡± It floated out of his hand and speed toward Satomi.  He turned around on his heel. ¡®I hope Satomi-chan don¡¯t have any hard feels for runnin¡¯ into her.¡¯


    How did you like the last chapter? Don¡¯t worry if you cant follow what in the world is goin¡¯ on, it will all be explained later. Anyway, do any of ya know what Negi was? If you do know leave a comment.  Secrets of the past will be relived later, Most likely during the Evangeline arc or Kyoto Field Trip Arc.


    Small ripples= big waves


    Chapter XI: Questions, Questions and Oh My Pactio! A Bath! (Part I)


    Negi stretched his bones while thinking about his wonderful students. ¡®Mana-chan¡­she acts just like Sage when she was younger. Zazie¡­ she¡¯s too much like my sister Zim¡­weird. Satomi-chan needs to meet my other sis Moku. The book trio would be fun to mess with, Asuna would be an option but I don¡¯t feel like messing with her right now. Sage is gone, thank goodness. And Kaede is...¡¯ The object of his thoughts appeared.


    He sweat dropped. ¡°Speak of the devil.¡±


    Kaede smiled at him. ¡°Good evening Negi-bozu. Have you smelt anything weird lately?¡± Negi shrugged with a nervous smile and tried to leave but Kaede had a death grip on his arm. ¡°Negi.¡±


    Negi took off his shirt and bolted. ¡°You¡¯ll never make me bath again woman! NEVER!!!!!!¡± He add a little wind magic so he would be sure she would catch him.


    Kaede stared at his retreating back then at his shirt. She gave it a light sniff before she turned green and passed out.


    *With Negi*


    Negi dumped a bottle of perfume on himself and sat in his room with one of his guns. ¡°They will never make me take a bath. Never!¡± His hair was ragged and his eyes were red. The thought of being wash drove him mad. No one but one person can make him bathe.


    His eyes turned to the door and he readied his gun. ¡®All women are trying to take me in.¡¯ The door opened and he dropped his gun.


    Chapters are going to be short because my wrist didn¡¯t fully heal but I wanted to give something to my readers. Also I¡¯m going to publish once every month now. Happy (Late) Singles Awareness Day.


    Why wont you send comments about my spelling? Do readers like the authors to misspell words? Tell me what you think about the book so I can be better. I FOUND OUT I PUT THE WRONG ROMAN NUMBERS! I wont fix it.


    P.s Sorry for the long wait. I have a lot going on but I felt bad about being late with updates. This chapter will revile a bit about Negi¡¯s and Sage¡¯s past.


    ChapterXII: Questions, Questions and Oh My Pactio! A Bath! (Part2)


    Negi dropped his gun and gave his sister a big hug. ¡°Sage! The mean ladies were trying to make me take a bath!¡± He cried in her shoulder.


    Sage patted his head with a warm smile before realizing she¡¯s being soft on him. She frowned and dragged him out of the room. ¡°You need to take a bath. We need a bath. You smell like you¡¯ve been dumpster diving and I smell like sweat and woods.¡± She seized a fist full of Negi¡¯s hair before turned to the exit.


    Negi was silent as Sage dragged him into Mahora Academy¡¯s large bathing area. He stared at the oversized pools, Jacuzzis and shower stalls with awe until a pair of swim trunks and a blind fold. He glared at his sister who was clothed in a basic black bikini. It showed off her slightly athlete body and curves. Sage turned her head while Negi donned his trunks.


    ¡°Negi¡­ doesn¡¯t this bring back memories.¡± Her eyes glazed over as she stared in space.


    The young teacher silently agreed before went to one of the stalls. Sage absentmindedly began to wash his hair. The twins smiled as they thought about the times when they were younger. Her hands went lower and scrubbed his back being warily of his scars.


    ¡°Have you taken your medicine?¡± Sage asked quietly, almost a whisper.


    ¡°I haven¡¯t taken it in two days.¡± She shook her head and fetched a small pill bottle from a small bag she brought. Negi whined but ate his pills.


    Once she finished his back they switched roles. Negi carefully cleansed his twin¡¯s back as his eyes were stuck on a single area of skin. It was small vertical scar but it was located in the middle of her spine. He tensed from the flash of memories that haunted him to this day.


    *Flashback*


    Nine year old Negi smiled at his twin. He was wearing a tan cloak and a pair of small spectacles while carrying his mage staff in his hand. Meanwhile Sage was wearing a pair of jeans with a tank top. They were in a small forest in Wales to practice their magic as they visited their cousin Nekane for a month.


    Negi excitedly waved his arms to gain his sister attention. ¡°Check this out.¡±


    He gathered grey magic from a nearby wolf. He compacted and mixed the magic with nature magic until he had a palm sized orb of glowing forest green magic. Then he started chanting in Latin.


    ¡°Spiritus exierit de silva lupus et voluntate et auctoritate in adjutorium mihi, in vas tuum virtutis et dilectionis, et confortavit me, ut rectius Negi Springfield et corpus ad mentem offerre potes. Hanc unam naturam;¡±  ¡°(The spirits of the forest and will of a wolf come forth to aid me give me your power and guidance, make me your vessel of power and love, make me stronger and wiser, Negi Springfield, will volunteer my mind and body to your power. Now make me one with nature!)¡±


    Sage eyes widen in fear. ¡°Negi no-¡° It was too late.


    Black, grey, and green magic swarmed Negi and the orb in his hand implanted itself in his head. Then it turned midnight black and the surrounding magic transformed into beads. They swirled and swallowed Negi¡¯s stilled body. Sage eyes widen when she saw the aftermath.


    She felt a lump in her throat. She timidly spoke. ¡°N-negi i-is that y-you.¡± He looked at her and roared.


    After that the only thing Sage remembers is yellow glowing eyes and pain, but Negi didn¡¯t remember anything of the encounter after he transformed but dull a aching feeling. Although he could recall Sage¡¯s pale, bleeding body and the blood that covered his face and hands afterwards.


    *End Flashback*


    Sage felt him tense from the painful memories and pressed her back against his chest. ¡°You know it¡¯s not your fault.¡± Negi wrapped his arms around her waist and cried into her hair.


    This is the sight the class of 2-A walked into. The class was early for their daily baths and was ready to soak when they saw Negi sob on his sister.


    Asuna stared at the sight with an eyebrow raised. ¡°What is going on? Why is Negi crying? Actually, why are they sharing a bath anyway?¡±


    Kaede shrugged her shoulders and hid behind one of the palm trees nearby. ¡°Maybe we¡¯ll find out-de gozaru.¡± The rest of the class followed her example.


    *With the Twins*


    Sage nuzzled Negi¡¯s chest. ¡°Don¡¯t cry. Hey, do you remember the time I fell out of a tree and broke both my arms.¡± Negi hugged her closer before loosening his grip.


    The slightly older twin smiled fondly at her. ¡°How do you fall out a tree?¡± He recalled the moment like it was yesterday. A few months before the incident Sage climbed up the highest tree in the island their main family/sisters lived on. Then she fell on Negi because he was directly under her.


    Sage huffed. ¡°It¡¯s not my fault someone wanted to launch a nuclear rocket at me.¡± Negi quietly chuckled before scooping up Sage in his arms, bridal style then standing.


    He kissed her head. ¡°I wish we could have more of these moments.¡±


    Sage raised an eyebrow, but didn¡¯t try to get out of the hold. ¡°Then who would drive you crazy?¡± Negi kissed her once more then set her on her feet.


    She lightly nudged Negi with a faint blush on her face. ¡°Don¡¯t get to mushy on me boy. I don¡¯t need to turn soft.¡± Negi kissed her cheek and she blushed harder. ¡°So affectionate¡­¡±


    ¡°Everyone needs a little love. I just love giving barrels it to my sisters and loved ones. More so to my favorite sibling.¡± He nuzzled her neck.


    ¡°Gah!¡± She swatted him off. ¡°Stop being so lovey-dovey, it¡¯s creepy.¡± Negi hugged her and nuzzled her even more.


    *Back to 2-A*


    Everyone was shocked how the siblings were treating each other. They were hugging and kissing and smiling. When did they get that close?


    Haruna nodded her head wisely like she knows what is going on. ¡°They are obviously in love.¡± The rest of the girls stared at her in shock before thinking about the idea.


    Fuuka shook her head. ¡°No, they can¡¯t. I say its extreme twin love but not romantic love.¡± Fumika agreed with her twin.


    Asuna glared at them. ¡°Why don¡¯t we just kick them out?¡±


    Ayaka laughed. ¡°Of course the monkey would think of the most violent answer.¡± Asuna was about to attack  the blonde before Haruna shushed them.


    ¡°Look there¡¯s more.¡±


    *With the Twins*


    Sage sighed. ¡°We should get going. We have a long day ahead of us.¡± Negi nodded and turned to leave when Sage shouted. ¡°Wait!¡±


    All he could do was turn his head before a pair of lips met his. He eyes widened slightly as the chastity kiss broke. They stared at another before Sage left with a swift goodbye.


    Negi stared at her retreating form before weakly smiling. He scratched the back of his neck pondering on the kiss while retreating to his shared dorm.


    *With the class of 2-A*


    Everyone but Eva and Chachmaru, who wasn¡¯t there, gapped at the act. Negi roommates glanced at each other and swiftly hurried to their dorm.


    Asuna was the first to recover. ¡°What the heck was that!¡±


    A little twist to the ending. Don¡¯t leave me now because there is more to that kiss than you think. What do think about their relationship? Sorry to the people who hates that stuff but continue to read to find out a very interesting fact.

 Chapter 7-8: With Keeping Track

    Small ripples= big waves


    ChapterXIIi: Questions, Questions and Oh My Pactio! A Bath! (Final)


    Recap: Sage just kissed Negi and the whole class saw. Negi¡¯s roommates are ready to hound him and currently he is strolling to his dorm.


    *With Negi*


    Negi¡®s head was in the clouds as he thought about the kiss that happen a few moments before. He was shock but pleased, weary yet calm. He chuckled at his current mood. Who would think a smooch from his little sister would send him into a aura of peace and happiness. He was so into his thoughts that he barely recognized he was dragged into his room.


    Mana shoved him harshly into wall and hissed in his ear as she glared at him with hatred. ¡°Who are you?! What are you?! What do you think when you stroll into a school knowing who you are and what you did?!¡± Zazie had to pry Mana off the young mage to prevent her from strangling the poor boy because Kaede wouldn¡¯t.


    She stared at Negi for a moment before she sighed. ¡°You¡¯re quite a puzzle aren¡¯t you Negi-bozo?¡±


    The red head raised an eyebrow. ¡°Oh? How did you figure that out?¡±


    Mana glared at him. ¡°Ever since we found out that you are ¡®Bloody Knockout¡¯ a ruthless mercenary that supposedly retired from the field. They say that you would brutal attack your enemies and drag their unconscious who knows where. A rumor spread that one of your teammates was killed in battle and you stopped fighting all together.¡±


    ¡°Plus you were kissing cousins with your sister. Maybe they should change the expression to kissing siblings just for your case de gozaru.¡± Kaede inputted.


    Negi scratched the back of his neck as he stared at the trio before him. ¡°Ok. How about you asked questions and I answer. Deal.¡± The girls glanced at each other and nodded. ¡°Might as well take a seat.¡±


    They moved their investigation to the small couch in the center of their shared dorm, although Mana pulled up a chair and Negi sat on the floor.


    No one said a word for a moment as they gazed at each other. Surprisingly, Zazie asked the first question¡­sort of.


    ¡°¡­?¡± Zazie raised an eyebrow.


    Negi smiled fondly. ¡°I not in any romantic relationship with Sage but you stumble on our lovely moments. Sage and I came to terms that we will never be your regular siblings with a love-hate relationship nor Sage will be able to express love well so made a plan to show each other we care five times year. That was our second moment.


    Sage kiss wasn¡¯t romantic but it was full of emotions. I felt happiness, love, warmth, sadness, anger and guilt. She wanted to release all her emotions in one memorable moment, what¡¯s better than a kiss? I was the twin who was closer to his emotions, partially love and happiness. During our periods of love, I just let go. When I nuzzle Sage it¡¯s not in a lover fashion, but to tell her, ¡°I feel safe and happy with you.¡± And she understands crystal clear.


    If I could I would be showing Sage in years¡¯ worth of affection but she hates that¡­she knows I would treat her that way because that¡¯s how I treat my other siblings. What would you do if you only had five moments to show all your love to someone you care deeply for? A moment could last for seconds or an entire day. A simple kiss on the cheek could count as a moment and next then you next you only have four left. Opps! You held hands, three left. I try to show every last feeling in those moments and saver them.¡±


    Mana glare lost some of its potency but she still looked like she wanted to skin him. ¡°Why should I believe you Bloody?¡±


    Negi stared at Mana with empty eyes. ¡°I had to lose some of my humanity in every one of my battles but I¡¯ll tell you, I never killed a person in my life. In fact, they¡¯re still alive and well. My code name was Bloody KO because I have red hair and my purpose in battle was to incapacitate and kidnap my enemies. I would drag their bodies to the next healing and transport unit. My partner, Underground, would inform me of our next mission, where to go, and who to meet. It¡¯s not Sage.¡± He noticed the look Mana gave him as he was talking about his cohort.


    Kaede stood in the background watching everything unfold. She was weary of her sensei but felt he wouldn¡¯t harm them for so mysterious reason. During the interrogation he wants to clear up any bad air or misunderstandings around them. He wanted them to figure him out. Why do he want them to understand him? Why them? Those questions been bothering her for days but she didn¡¯t want to ask because she felt it would take the mystery from Negi.


    ¡°Kaede,¡± She was startled out of her thoughts and opened an eye. She jumped when she saw him staring intensely at her. ¡°the answer to your questions require you to trust me and never doubt. The seed of doubt will prevent you to find the answers.¡±


    The ninja opened both of her eyes and shock was evidence on her face. ¡®How did he know?¡¯


    Negi stood from his place on the floor and walked towards her until he was directly before her. He had to look down at her since she was sitting on the arm of the couch. ¡°Trust in what you do not understand.¡± He smiled and offered her his hand. ¡°You¡¯ll be surprised.¡±


    Kaede stared at the outstretched appendage before laughing and accepting his hand. ¡°You¡¯re a weird one, aren¡¯t you Negi-bozo?¡±


    Mana was alarmed. ¡°Don¡¯t you think is strange? A danger, he could turn on us at any moment!¡±


    Zazie noticed that Negi gaze turned to her. She nodded her head and stood up with Negi¡¯s other hand in hers. ¡°¡­¡± He smiled.


    Their combined gaze went to Man who still was glaring at the red head mage. He released both girls¡¯ hands and went to Mana. The gunslinger glared became more venous the close he was to her.


    He stopped when he was an arm¡¯s length away from her. ¡°Mana.¡± Her hand balled into fists. ¡°I do not know what I did to you nor why you hate me so much but I do know that you dislike the idea that I was a mercenary. It may be from my name or I have wrong you in the past¡­let me show you I am good. Let us be allies. I want to know you and befriend you. I won¡¯t let you down.¡± Mana continued to glare at the Mage as he offered his hand. She glances behind him to see a Kaede nodding then back at his determine face.


    She closed her eyes and shook hands. ¡°Don¡¯t think you¡¯re safe.¡± Her eyes burned into his head. ¡°If I even get an inkling that you¡¯re harming someone in this school, I give you two new holes in the side of your head.¡±If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.


    Negi gulped and nodded. Then he glanced at the clock on the wall. ¡°I think it¡¯s time to sleep.¡± The other residences agreed and left to sleep.


    Kaede froze then gave him a fox like smile. ¡°Oh Negi-bozo!¡± She sang. ¡°You have to deal with class tomorrow because everyone else saw you kiss your sister.¡±


    Negi skin paled and his eyes widen. ¡°G-good n-night.¡± With that Negi went to sleep with horrible nightmares of his homeroom class.


    Poor Negi! That was an interesting chapter of Small ripples=Big waves. Did you like it? What do you think of their alliance? What do think of the twins now? Leave reviews and suggestions for crazy chapters, they will be accepted.

    Chapter IX: Explanation, and the Twins


    Thank you for reading another installment of Small Ripples=Big Wave. I know it was late update but I been busy. Good news, someone actually voted on my poll. Thank you!


    This chapter is another Negi/Sage sibling fluff.


    Summary: Negi was interrogated his roommates.


    Negi trudged slowly to his classroom, hoping something bad will happen to him. His hair was frazzled and he had dark bags under his eyes from lack of sleep. His mind was pledged with the word Kaede¡¯s words from the night before.


    *Flash back*


    Kaede froze then gave him a fox like smile. ¡°Oh Negi-bozo!¡± She sang. ¡°You have to deal with class tomorrow because everyone else saw you kiss your sister.¡±


    *End Flash back*


    He shivered. ¡®If the class really saw me, then I¡¯m dead!¡¯ He sighed and rubbed the back. ¡°Maybe I can hide and live in Africa? I think Kenya would hide me.¡± He mumbled under him breath.


    He noticed that he was in front of the Class of 2-A windows. He shrugged and observer at his students. Everyone was quiet and was sitting in their seats, aching to jump him when he enters. Asuna, Chisame and Ayaka were radiating bloodlust, Haruna was having very perverted thoughts, Ku looked confused, and the rest-par Evangeline, Chachamaru, Satomi, and his roommates-looked dejected.


    ¡®This is not going to end well for me.¡¯ He thought with a sweatdrop. He opened the door and faced his doom. Asuna immediately stood up and was about to march over to him until he glared at her. ¡°Sit down Kagurazaka- san.¡± She hastily sat back in her chair.


    He turned to glare at the girls. ¡°I will be answering questions at the end of school. Come back here at 1600 hours. If you don¡¯t know what that means, well your screwed.¡± He gave them one last glare before writing in the board. ¡°We begin on lesson 5.¡±


    *Time skip*


    Negi couldn¡¯t believe it. It¡¯s 4:05 and his entire class was in the room. He stayed true to his word and was ready to answer any questions, but he didn¡¯t expect everyone to come, Eva included.


    ¡®They have no lives.¡¯ He deadpanned before coughed, drawing everyone¡¯s attention. ¡°Since you¡¯re all here, I can guess you have many questions.¡±


    Kazumi Asakura, stepped forward with a large grin and even larger recording device. ¡°For the sake of Madora News, is it true you forced yourself on your sister?¡±


    Negi blanched. ¡°No! I would never do that! Well¡­ Sage might though.¡± He said with a blush.


    His fellow red head inched closer. ¡°So the accusations of you forcing yourself on your sister and making her kiss you were untrue?¡±


    The boy glanced at her then nodded. ¡°Yeah. Sage actually kissed me. I didn¡¯t kiss her back.¡±


    She looked suspects. ¡°Your point is somewhat invalid. Moments before she kissed you, you were romantically hugging, cuddling, nuzzling and holding Sage.¡±


    Negi rubbed his temples. ¡®She proves a point. She would be a great journalist one day.¡¯ ¡°Sage and I always had a tight relationship. We don¡¯t show it often because we bump heads more than normal but we are. When we do show that we care, I tend to go overboard. Honestly, I been doing that to her since we were eight years old. After we had an¡­ accident a year later, our relationship changed. So-¡°


    ¡°What accident? How did it change your relationship?¡±


    He ignored her and continued where he was cut off. ¡°So we change the meaning of ¡®romantic gestures¡¯ and slowly drifted apart but came back together with a stronger bond. For example, I can hold sis hand and it will mean; ¡®stay with me and don¡¯t run off¡¯, ¡®hide¡¯, ¡®let me do the talking¡¯ and ¡®shut up and listen¡¯.¡±


    She looked confused. ¡°Why? For you to come up with an elaborate way of commutation that means you two held hands a lot.¡±


    Negi face turned into a grimace. ¡°We had to. She was stalked by this weird boy who wanted to date her and wouldn¡¯t take ¡®No¡¯ for an answer. I tried to make him back off but he accused me of being her boyfriend and was only going to use her. I went with the act and he was watching us 24/7 for two months.¡±


    The red head paled at the idea of being stalked. She looked behind her and noticed a few girls paling too. Then something clicked in her mind. ¡°Why did you have to be her boyfriend 24/7?¡±


    Her fellow red head face darkened. ¡°He installed cameras in my family¡¯s house. We had nowhere but our rooms to hide in. Our oldest sister got tired of seeing us as a couple since she only allowed him to do that to torture us for a few days. We checked all the room and we found out he placed on in Sage¡¯s room.¡± He gave them an evil grin. ¡°I made sure he would never see again for peeping and my other sisters made it where he would never have children.¡± Negi began rubbing his hands together with an evil laugh. ¡°No one hurts my baby sister.¡±


    ¡°Baby sister? Does that make you their baby brother?¡± She asked in a baby talk.


    ¡°Nope.¡± He dead panned. ¡°To earn the ¡®baby¡¯ you have to be the weakest and most watched child in the family.¡± Negi face turned into a smile. ¡°Sage, before she went insane, was a curious girl with a big heart and hated fighting. She was the one in the family who refused to learn martial arts.¡± ¡®or magic.¡¯ Negi thought.


    Kazumi nodded. ¡°So as the role as a brother you protected her. And as a twin you never left her side.¡± She glanced at the twins.


    Negi shrugged. ¡°Pretty much.¡±


    She went into his personal space. ¡°But that doesn¡¯t explain why your sister kissed you.¡±


    Negi opened his mouth but was interrupted by an unexpected person.


    ¡°Cuz I wanted to.¡± Sage entered the room in casual clothes, sucking on a lollipop.


    ¡°Sage you¡¯re late you should have-.¡± He was interrupted again when she stuck a loll in his mouth.


    She turned to the class with her hands on her hips. ¡°Listen up! I kissed Negi because I wanted to and it expressed my emoticons. I don¡¯t know how to show how I feel well other than acting crazy. We have moments where I¡¯m normal and Negi tries to get me to response to his affections. I go along with it so, hopefully, we would have a stronger bond than before.


    I heard a quote it said, ¡®The only way too completely break a bond, a connection, is corruption and death.¡¯ I want to reach a point where nothing, even death, could split us apart! We always are twins, but if something happens in our life, will we be family? What happens if we stop being friends and only be connected by blood? Siblings throughout history have started to hate each other and become strangers, sometimes enemies. I don¡¯t want that for us.


    I want to stay with Negi no matter the conditions. Everyone in the world could disappear but I can always look up to Negi and ask for help. Luckily, Negi have been beside me every step, showing me love, comfort, and gently pushed me to become who I want to be. And, I will make sure he will stay there! So if I can show him a little love, then darn it! I will! I don¡¯t want him to feel like everything is completely one sided and when the tide comes he¡¯ll be standing alone!¡±


    She suddenly turned towards him and pulled a fist full of his hair. She stopped pulling when their faces were only an inch apart. ¡°If you ever feel like that, I will abandon everything to make you see; I¡¯m here. Do you understand?¡± She growled lowly so only Negi could hear her.


    Negi smirked before grabbing a fist of her hair and yanked hard. In her surprise he let go of Negi. He gave her a cold look and said. ¡°Do you have somewhere to go? If I remember, you¡¯re sick.¡± She noticed a flicker of love and happiness in his otherwise stone face.


    She smirked. The punched him in the stomach and pulled him down. ¡°Don¡¯t do anything stupid.¡± She whispered fondly. Then she kicked his legs out and ran out the room.


    ¡°Told you we have a close relationship. Now leave me be. I want to rest.¡± Negi said on the floor, not bothering to move.


    What do you think about their relationship? Do you think they¡¯re too close or actually in a romantic?

 Chapter 9: With The Chapters (Last One)

    Small ripples= big waves


    Chapter X: Weekends, Powers, and Freaks!


    I¡¯m back! I went under a short (for me) case of writers block and started on some new books and chapters of Clan of the Alchemist¡­but I was too lazy to write¡­ Anyway, let craziness begin!


    Last chapter: Negi answered questions about his and Sage relationship.


    It¡¯s been a week since Negi and Sage told the class about their strange relationship. During that week Sage managed to anger the entire class, including Evangeline, Nodoka, and Yue. Luckily, Negi was there to calm down the class but Sage has been hiding ever since. Negi haven¡¯t even seen her yet, but he didn¡¯t have the time as he is still cleaning pickle stains and hidden stink bombs. Heck, he even found a rat in Yue¡¯s hair once. *Shiver* Yeah, he is not speaking of THAT again.


    A-anyway, Negi finally made free time to visited his sister and check out the new house she made. Now our unlikely hero is off on his journey¡­good luck Negi¡­good luck.


    *With Negi*


    Negi enjoying his stroll and can¡¯t wait to see Sage. At all he was stuck in a classroom that smelled like old gym clothes and sewage for six days straight. He¡¯s overjoyed that Sunday is here and he doesn¡¯t need to go back.This content has been misappropriated from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.


    ¡®Maybe I should air fresheners? Hm¡­I need ten bottles and a gas mask.¡¯ He nodded and began humming a sweet tone. What he doesn¡¯t know is he has a few followers.


    Asuna, Yuna, Zazie and Konoka all are stalking- I mean observing the young man for different reasons.


    Asuna is hiding behind a bush with a fake mustache, dark shades and large black overcoat. She¡¯s seething rage. ¡°I bet he have an evil reason to see Sage! I will stop him!¡± Everyone around her sweat dropped and stayed far away from her angry ramblings.


    Yuna casually followed a few steps behind him in black hoodie, a hat, glasses and a pair of blue jeans. She pulled her hood over her hat and watched him from the corner of her glasses. ¡®Kazumi own me big for this. I should be playing ball yet I¡¯m out here stalking Negi-sensei.¡¯ Her stomach grumbled making her hold it in grief. ¡®But the offer of meal tickets got me.¡¯


    Zazie is sitting on a building roof. ¡®¡­¡¯ Then she started juggling.


    Konoka was happily following him in a white jacket, pink skirt and light pink shirt. ¡®Asuna-chan is following Negi so I¡¯ll I come too.¡¯ Then she stopped and sweat dropped. ¡®I should have gone with her¡­¡¯


    *An hour later. With Negi*


    ¡°I told Sage to make a cottage not a three story house.¡± Negi deadpanned. He finally reached the designated spot where their home was to be. It was a three story conjoined house with a garden growing on the roof.


    He went to the door and was immediately dragged in by his sister. He looked at her and she seemed to be prepared for a war. She had war paint and a too large helmet on her head.


    ¡°I¡¯m preparing to fight off any fangirls that finds our home!¡± Sage yelled in his ear.


    Negi flinched. ¡°We are fine. I don''t think anyone would look in the forest.¡±


    Unknown to them, they were besieged by a group of females.

 Reboot of SR=BW Chapter 1

    It has been five years since the demon attack on Wales. All those who have be petrified during the attack have been cured. However, the people who lost family in the battle have nothing but rocks to mourn over since a few of the statues broke before the ¡®A Thousand Master¡¯ came and saved them. The children of Wales became enraged by the travesty and decided to become powerful mages to get revenge. Now we follow the tale of one of the children and the legacy he leaves.


    *Elsewhere*


    ¡°Ugh¡­¡± A young man groans. His dark red eyes scan the large amount of people rushing to their next class. He couldn¡¯t believe he was in a school, the amount of people in the swarm was easily around three thousand.


    He looked over to his side and watched his sister for a moment. She looked excited as if  she was energized by the tsunami of people frantically running to their next class. Her bright red and white hair shimmered in the sun seeming expressing the energy inside her.


    ¡°I swear if you leave me here alone, I am not giving you money for lunch.¡± He stated while shifting feet. He knew they were going late for work but he honestly hates running. That¡¯s why they are walking a slow pace.


    ¡°Oh, come on, Negi! You are so slow! It¡¯s going to take us hours to get to Konoe-san.¡± The young woman whined. Her point was valid as it would have taken them an hour to arrive at work considering they were in the middle of the school.


    He sighed. ¡°Fine. Just a bit of wind magic.¡± He muttered a few phases under his breath then gave her a signal. She smirked then disappeared over the horizon leaving him behind. He shook his head and continued down the road at the same slow walk, not even thinking about making his sister wait for him.


    *Ten Minutes later*


    Negi found himself passing an interesting situation. There were two girls and one was supposed to read the others future in romance however she didn¡¯t want to say that she was not going to be with the one she wanted to be with thus she came up with random and ridiculous conditions. Her friend however is didn¡¯t notice and proceeded to make a fool of herself.


    He debated he options. He could leave them be but let her continue to look like a fool or he could tell her the truth. He pondered on the thought for a moment before finally appearing behind the girl.


    ¡°Excuse me, but your fortune truly is ¡®Your love is unrequited.¡±


    The girl froze then turned to him with anger burning in her eyes. ¡°Who are you to say that, huh?!¡±


    He gave a small bow then shifted a bit away from her. ¡°My name is Springfield Negi. I am going to be a teacher in this academy and I realized it would be bad to let a false prediction continue like this.¡±


    She began shaking with rage. Her fist was balled and ready to fly until her friend said, ¡°Ah. I¡¯m glad you told her. I didn¡¯t want to hurt her feelings and tell her Takahata-sensei don¡¯t like her.¡±


    The brunette had an innocent face and gave him a small smile. ¡°Where are you going Negi-sensei?¡± As she asked him the question her friend was staring bullets into her head. She seemed to have not notice though because her expression was relaxed.


    The red head gave an awkward laugh. ¡°I was supposed to meet Konoe-sama but I don¡¯t know where he is.¡±


    She giggled. ¡°Grandpa is at the large building at the end of this road. You can¡¯t miss it, it¡¯s the only building in this sector with its own courtyard.¡±


    He blinked. ¡°Grandpa? You must be Konoe Konoka-san.¡±


    She nodded. ¡°Yes, I am and she,¡± She pointed at the orange hair beauty who was now silent and glaring at Negi. ¡°is Asuna. Kagurazaka Asuna.¡±


    He looked at Asuna finally noticing the blazing blue and green eyes glaring at him. ¡°You have beautiful eyes.¡±


    She flinches back. ¡°Uh¡­ Thanks creep.¡±


    He shrugged then looked at his watch. ¡°Well I have to go. It was pleasure talking to you Konoe-san and Asuna-kun. Bye.¡± He took off in a jog muttering phrases unknown to them.


    Asuna swings her head towards Konoka and pinch her cheeks. ¡°I don¡¯t like that guy and you are not off the hook.¡±


    *Five minutes later*


    Negi finally reached Konoe¡¯s door and gave it a gentle knock. He waited for a moment but was surprised when a pale hand came out a dragged him inside. He was thrown to the floor and was slapped twice by his sister.


    ¡°You took way to long! I already spoke to old man Konoe and ate a plate full of cookies by time you got here.¡± She huffed then turned her back towards him.


    He stood slowly then gave her a hug. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I was helping out Konoe-san¡¯s granddaughter.¡± A hidden tension dissipated and a small unnoticeable quiver in her shoulders stopped. They stood there until she pushed him off.


    She cracked a smile. ¡°I thought we had a deal on mushy things, plus we don¡¯t want to take more of Konoe¡¯s time. I know we are late to class.¡±


    Negi shrugged. ¡°We actually are not late Sage. I lied about the time we were supposed to be here. We were actually caught in the early class rush.¡±


    Sage stared at him for a moment then punched him in the face. ¡°You woke me up at five in the morning for this?!¡±


    He rubbed his nose, not fazed at the least. ¡°If I didn¡¯t we would have been late. You always sleep in.¡±


    Konoemon laughed, ¡°Hohoho! How nice it is to see twins getting along so well. I sure you will do well on your journey. Just remember this is a special class you will be taking care of. If you feel like you can¡¯t handle it then you can decide to resign but you will never complete your quest. Understood?¡±


    ¡°Yes Konoe-sama.¡± They said in unison.


    ¡°Hohoho! Good! I¡¯ll have Shizuna lead you to your classroom.¡±


    Shizuna quickly came and led them to their class with a brief introduction. The curvy blue haired woman navigated the halls will practice ease, seemingly unaware of Sage teasing and Negi¡¯s growing blush. She led them to a room with the sign ¡®2-A¡¯ above the door then gestured to the class.


    Shizuna smiled, ¡°Welcome to your class Negi-kun and Sage-kun. They are not the most disciplined class and are rather mischievous but they have a good heart.¡± She turned to the twins. ¡°Please understand that only a strong will and a loving person can get through to them.¡±


    Sage nodded, ¡°I understand and I look forward to being their teacher. Also, before you leave I have a question to ask.¡± Shizuna blinked then nodded, eager to help another teacher. ¡°Are you single?¡±


    The older woman stared at the red head for a moment then said, ¡°Yes. I am. Why?¡±


    Sage grabbed her brother and thrusted him towards the somewhat stunned woman. ¡°He is single too. I hope his age don¡¯t discourage any potential romantic feelings you may feel for him. I actually think that you two would be a great couple.¡±Enjoying this book? Seek out the original to ensure the author gets credit.


    Negi flinched out of Sage¡¯s arms. He couldn¡¯t even will himself to look at his mischievous younger twin so he opened the class room door and nearly ran into the podium. His quick reactions enabled him to avoid the Narutaki twins prank without much thought. However, his sister who followed closely to him barely avoided the arrows and only became slightly wet.


    The class of 2-A was silent. Other than Takahata, they haven¡¯t seen anyone dodge the twins¡¯ pranks without using a stick to set it off. The class then observed the duo before them with curiosity.


    Negi¡¯s appearance was a mild surprise to class as they never seen someone like him. His hair was the deepest red they ever seen and was messy like he just woke up. His red eyes and facial scars screamed danger yet the softness in his face gave a safe feeling as if he was going to protect them. His aura was calm despite his blushing, shy expression and his conflicting clothing style make it more confusing. He was wearing a black leather jacket, light blue shirt and black loose jeans; clothing that was usually a trademark of angry rebels or cool kids. He was tall, around 5¡¯10 and had a lean figure that drew their eyes to his face and hips. Even more strange, he had a staff bound in cloth hanging from his back.


    Meanwhile Sage¡¯s was more together. Her brown eyes were narrowed and couldn¡¯t stay at one place while she gave off an aura of chaos. Her hair was just as red and wild as her brother but she had baffling white tips to her hair that seemed natural. She wore a ripped shirt and tight black pants with combat boots that have been stained red at the sole. She looked like a rebel but with Negi it seemed like he was trying to copy her. It showed even more when the class realized they shared the same height, body type and facial features.


    The twins stood there for a moment to allow the class to soak in who they were then began their announcement.


    ¡°I am Springfield Negi and this is my twin Springfield Sage.¡± Sage have a mock salute to the class but the cultural reference went over some of their heads. ¡°We are your new teachers from this day forth. We may be young but we both have credentials in teaching English, Math, Science and any other subjects we will cover over the years. I promise to help you outside of class as well because I feel students and teachers should learn to trust another and it¡¯s a teacher responsibility to protect their student. Today is a free day and you may ask us any questions should you feel should be asked. I will try to answer with the best of my abilities.¡± Negi gave them a bow then stepped away from the podium.


    Shortly after he stepped away he was bomb rushed by Ku Fei. He barely processed the blonde in his arm while he heard her speaking in Chinese. ¡°Husband! I thought I¡¯ll never see you again!¡±


    He froze then gently pried Ku off of him. He stared at her for a moment then remembered where he first saw those big green eyes. He exclaimed in Chinese, ¡°Ku! I thought you have died or gotten lost! I visited your village a few years back but they said they haven¡¯t seen you since I left seven years ago. How are you?¡±


    She gave him a large smile and held his face. ¡°I am fine, better even now that I have you. After you left I went to study with masters of martial arts. I have learned so much and I hope I have earned the piece of jade you gave me all those years ago.¡±


    He kissed her forehead. ¡°You never needed to earn that relic. You have bested many warriors of your tribe and the only reason I won was due to my special abilities.¡±


    The two foreigners beamed at each other until a certain orange haired female broke them up.


    ¡°What the hell is going on here?!¡± Asuna screamed in Negi¡¯s face.


    Negi stared at her for a moment then blushed with a startled expression. ¡°Ah¡­ I forgotten I was in class. You see, I met Ku Fei almost seven years ago and I lived in her village. Sage and I was searching for our sister but were injured during our travels. While we were resting there I accidently preformed the rite for marriage and wedded her under the tribe¡¯s laws. Of course, I took respectability but I had to leave. I told Ku to see the world then we left to continue our journey.¡±


    He gestured to Sage. ¡°We never forgot about her and more than a few times tried to find her but we were unsuccessful. We actually thought she had died due to my poor judgement back then.¡± He scratched his head. ¡°We never would have thought she would have traveled to Japan though. Ah, I wish I have known.¡±


    Asuna looked between the couple then exclaimed, ¡°You two are married?! Is it even legal for a teacher to marry a student?!¡±


    Most of the class signed, not surprised that Asuna only acknowledged a small part of his story. Kazumi took this small pause as a sign and jumped in the fray.


    ¡°Negi-sensei! Would you and Sage-sensei answer some questions that we all would like to know the answer to?¡±


    Sage chuckled, ¡°Sure why not.¡±


    ¡°Please repeat your names but this time your full names.¡± Kazumi pulled out a recorder from her back pocket.


    ¡°Ah. Sage Mira Springfield and Negi Mera Springfield.¡± They replied in union.


    ¡°I noticed your middle name is Japanese for future Sage.¡±


    ¡°Yes, it is. My sister named me the future.¡±


    ¡°How many siblings do you share?¡±


    ¡°We have¡­¡± The twins looked at each other and started counting fingers. Once they counted seven siblings they questioned the number then conformed between them they had seven siblings. ¡°enough of siblings to count on two hands.¡±


    Kazumi stared at them for a moment then asked, ¡°How come you don¡¯t know how many siblings you have?¡±


    Sage scratched her cheek. ¡°Well we are adopted of sorts. I mean we have our cousin, two best friends and many sisters all living in one place. However, we don¡¯t see three of our sisters¡¯ due to their work days and we see our friends as sisters too.¡±


    Negi shrugs. ¡°We stop counting how many sisters we had after the eldest, Kenya, adopted our fourth sister. Adopting with us is more like finding abandoned children and dragging them into our family.¡±


    Kazumi nodded in respect. It¡¯s honorable hearing about a family like them. ¡°I understand. Another question is; are you single? I understand that this question does not apply to you Negi as you are married to Ku.¡±


    Sage laughed. ¡°I may be single but you speaking to a polygamist, girly. He doesn¡¯t mind a few more ladies.¡±


    Negi blushed. ¡°Sage shut up! I only offered that option because Ku and I were super young. I only suggested that maybe we should see if there are anyone else we might like in the future then talk about our plan of action.¡±


    Ku smiled at the twins. ¡°Ku don¡¯t mind if you date other women. Just keep me with you.¡±


    The class and Negi just stood there, staring at Ku. It stayed that way until Zazie walked up to Negi and wrapped her arms around his. At first the male red head was confused but recognized her golden eyes and white hair. He relaxed somehow despite the stares.


    ¡°I am surprised so many people we know are in this class.¡± Sage commented. Her eyes flickering between Ku, Mana, Zazie, and Satomi.


    ¡°Ah! You how many do you know Sage-sensei?¡± Kazumi refused to let the statement roll by without interrogating.


    Sage glanced at the budding reporter. ¡°We know Ku for known reasons. This however is the fifth time we met Zazie. Typically, we talk to her sister or our younger sister visits their nation due to having roots there.  We know a lot about her though. The others¡­¡± She gave a quick unnoticeable glance to the aforementioned women. ¡°probably don¡¯t want to be associated with us or want to avoid the hassle that comes with us.¡±


    Kazumi looked at Negi smiling at both Ku and Zazie then looked back at the young woman. ¡°I see Negi have many potential suitors. Do you have any?¡±


    The bi-colored hair girl stared at ceiling with her arms crossed. ¡°No.¡±


    The ponytailed girl nodded then turned off her tape. ¡°I have good material to use. I¡¯m sure this will in next week¡¯s newspaper.¡±


    Negi asked, ¡°Did you record how old are we? If not, then we are 16 years old.¡±


    She quickly scribbled their age onto her arm and thanked him. The small interaction interested Ku who was clinging to his left arm. She wondered how many women could Negi seduce as she noticed Kazumi brushed the hair out of her face; a trait she only does when she is charmed by someone. She would have studied more of the mannerisms the reporter was displaying but the bell rung.


    The class collected their items and funneled out the room. Chisame was the first out the door, followed by Asuna and Satomi. Quickly the room was emptied and a few people stayed. Ku gave Negi a quick kiss and ran out the room. The mage was stunned but was further blown away when Zazie gave him a long kiss on lips. She gave him a warm stare then walked out the room with a pleasant aura.


    Sage walked over to Negi and nudged him with her shoulder. She spoke in Latin, amused. ¡°Talk about an eventful day huh? We saw a girl we thought was dead, a demon princess, an assassin, a demi-demon, a mage, a scientist and a ninja to say the least. Also, you lost your first kiss to someone who wasn¡¯t me or Ku.¡±


    His warm, red eyes turned a cold grey then replied in Latin. ¡°This class is literally a group of offspring from powerful people in the magic world. Some of which don¡¯t even know they are powerful. I feel this could end badly if someone decides to target this group.¡±


    She shrugged, turning looking out the window to watch a few of her students¡¯ hustle to their after school activity. ¡°I feel a great disturbance is going to happen. We have to watch them closely.¡±


    He slightly shifted his head to her direction, his back still facing the window and his eyes dangerously narrowing towards a certain section of the adjacent hallway. ¡°I think there is a mole. Should we kill them?¡±


    Sage shook her head. ¡°Is it not useless? I truly believe that is Konoe¡¯s way of protection. He may have ears everywhere but tolerates things that don¡¯t harm Konoka and magic world.¡± Negi relaxes to that logic and his eyes transforms back to their bright shade of red.


    He said in cheerful Japanese. ¡°I understand Nee-chan.¡±
