I do not own the copyrights to Mahou Sensei Negima or anything,  but I just loved the manga and wanted to do a fanfiction of it. This fan fic won't really include spoilers except for the pactios of the girls who have already as well as some characters who appear later on in the story. There won't be any real plot spoilers though for those who care about that. The story continues after the end of the manga and includes old and new characters.

 

Chapter 1: The New Kids

 

Asuna's alarm clock rang incredibly early. She yawned loudly, waking up Konoka below her. She rubbed her eyes while adjusting to the light shining in through the window. She quickly got up and began changing into her exercise clothes. At the same time, Konoka began making breakfast. When she was done, Asuna devoured down the food and raced through the door.

 

"I'm going Konoka!" Asuna yelled behind her.

 

"You better not be late again!" Konoka replied. Asuna realized that today was the first day of the new school year. She wondered who would be in her class this year. She ran down to her normal newspaper stand and picked up a pile and began her route. She began throwing the papers to the doors of the houses when she heard a familiar voice. 

 

"Hello there Asuna," the voice said. Asuna looked up to see Negi flying on his staff above her.

 

"Geez Negi you scared me!" Asuna cried. She stopped for a second to catch her breathe and Negi floated down next to her. 

 

"It's been a while since we've last had a chat Asuna. Why it seems like yesterday when we met like this for the first time."

 

"Yea, but that was over a year ago now Negi." Asuna began walking again. "It's the start of a new school year. Are you ready to see our class again?" Asuna turned around, but Negi had stopped.

 

"Asuna," Negi started. "I'm not your teacher this year." Asuna jumped.

 

"WHAT!?" Asuna freaked. "Is this some kind of joke?" Negi jumped off and walked to Asuna.

 

"I'm not the class' guardian Asuna. I'm just a teacher. Like any other teacher I get reassigned every year to a new class! You are going to have a new teacher this year I'm afraid!" Asuna sighed.

 

"Well this stinks. I was looking forward to being together again!"

 

"Don't worry Asuna! We can see each other all the time outside of class! Besides, I'll probably still be your English teacher." Suddenly, Asuna's watch began to ring.

 

"Dang! School's gonna start soon. Negi I got-" She stopped. Negi was already flying to the school. Asuna frowned. "Nothing's gonna be the same."

 

 

 

 

Asuna, now in school attire, entered the school. All of the girls crowded around the school board, where all the classes were assigned. There, she found Konoka and Setsuna waiting for her. Asuna walked up to them.

 

"Hey guys! So what class am I in?" Asuna asked.

 

"1-C," Konoka smiled. "You're with me and Setsuna as well!" Asuna laughed. The first day of high school. She wondered if it could get better. The three of them walked down the hall, their class being on the first floor, and entered the third class on the right. When they entered, they gasped. Everyone from their class was there!

 

"What's going on here!" Asuna yelled. Ayaka walked up to her.

 

"Apparently everyone from our class last year is in the same class again." Ayaka told her.

 

"Oh yeah!" Konoka jumped. "I remember grandpa telling me something like that. He said considering how much our class has been through together, the magic staff decided to keep us together."

"Looks like this year will be interesting then!" Setsuna smiled. The four of them walked over to the other students who were chatting around the room. After a couple of minutes, the bell rang and the students got their seats.

 

"Even the seats are the same," Asuna smiled. Suddenly, the door opened and in came the new teacher. He was very tall and slim. He had black hair that was short, about the same length as Takamichi's and he had deep hazel eyes. Asuna jumped a little, her heart began racing. 

 

"He's so handsome!!" Kakizaki screamed. It was true. Asuna and a few other students were blushing uncontrollably. The teacher walked up to the desk and smiled.

 

"Hello, my name is Hikaru Masumoto, and I'm your new homeroom teacher. Along with me, we have two new students to the class. Both of them happen to be boys."

 

"BOYS!?" The class jumped.

 

"Yes. Due to extensive circumstances, they will be a part of the class, so please treat them well." The girls chatted for a minute before Mr.. Matsumoto calmed them down.

 

"Our first student's name is Kotaro Inugami." Then, with a slamming of the door, Kotaro walked in.

 

"Kotaro!?" Natsume yelled, standing up.

 

"Oh, Natsume nii-chan is in this class?" Kotaro asked coldly.

 

"Why are you acting so non-chalant about this!?" Natsume replied.

 

"Now now settle down," Mr. Matsumoto steadied Natsume. "Kotaro you can sit down in one of the extra seats in the back." Kotaro made a face at Natsume and walked to the back, sitting next to Evangeline. "The next boy is Daisuke Takashi." The door opened once more and another boy came in. Once more, multiple girls in the class began to blush. The boy had long blonde hair and deep blue eyes. He was about the same height as the rest of the girls and he bowed.

 

"Please take care of me!" He said.

 

"Oh my god he's so hot!"  Sakurako whispered to Nodoka behind her. Nodoka didn't respond. She was staring at the boy in silence.

 

"Daisuke, you can go sit in the last extra desk in the back." Daisuke nodded and walked back. "Now then, let's begin roll call!"

 

 

 

 

The bell rang and Mr. Matsumoto left the room at the end of the day. The girls got up and began chatting excitedly. Chizuru walked over to Kotaro with Asuna, Konoka, and Natsume.

 

"I expect you to be a good boy, Kotaro!" Chizuru smiled wickedly.

 

"Y-yes," Kotaro replied obediently. Asuna looked to see most of the girls crowding around Daisuke who was happily talking to them.

 

"Looks like Negi has some competition now," Asuna smiled. Makie turned around.

 

"No! No one will ever be able to replace Negi in my heart!" Makie cried. Daisuke got up and walked over, the other girls following closely.

 

"Who's Negi?" Daisuke asked.

 

"He was our teacher last year and everyone's love!" Konoka giggled.

 

"Don't put me in that group!" Asuna slapped the back of her head.

 

"Oh you mean that famous teacher here? I think I'd like to meet him."

 

"He's in the teacher's lounge! I'll take you there!" Ayaka screamed, grabbing Daisuke's hand and dragging him out of the class and down the hall. Most of the class followed. Konoka tried to go but Setsuna stopped her.

 

"What's wrong Setsuna?" Konoka asked.

 

"Something's wrong with him. I don't trust him." Setsuna growled.

 

"Oh come on Setsuna! You're too sensitive now. Everything will be fine!" Konoka grabbed Setsuna and they left the class. Evangeline and Chachamaru were the last ones there.

 

"What do you think this means, master?"  Chachamaru asked.  Evangeline remained composed.

 

"I'm not sure, but I don't like it." She frowned. She didn't like it one bit.

Any advice would be lovely for future chapters. Thanks for reading!

 

Chapter 2: Meeting

 

"Slow down!" Haruna called to the girls, who were continuously pushing Daisuke down the hall.

 

"I feel bad for the new kid," Asuna smiled, walking with Nodoka, Yue, and Haruna far behind the rest of the class. "First day and the girls are all over him.

 

"He's nothing special," Yue sipped her juice box.  "right Nodoka?" Nodoka hesitated before nodding quickly. She quickly looked down at the ground, Yue staring at her curiously.

 

"Oh, I see," Haruna chuckled. "It seems Negi has competition for Nodoka's heart!" Nodoka jumped, her face turning red.

 

"N-no! That's not true!" Nodoka tried to persuade them.

 

"We know Nodoka," Asuna cracked a suspicious smile along with Haruna.

 

"Guys, stop it!" Nodoka whined. Yue remained silent behind them. The four of them reached the teacher's lounge, where all the girls already were. The entered to see Daisuke and Negi bowing to each other.

 

"It's a pleasure to meet you," Daisuke shook Negi's hand. "I've heard many great things about you."

 

"I hope you haven't  heard everything," Negi laughed. Daisuke joined in and all the girls froze.

 

"They're actually getting along!" Madoka whispered as the girls huddled together while the boys chatted.

 

"I was hoping there was gonna be some sort of fight!" Sakurako sighed. "For the love of the girls of 1-C! A battle of wits and physical strength!"

 

"I think you're being a little too dramatic..." Ako frowned.

 

"Can we help you?" Negi asked. The girls turned around, forgetting where they were.

 

"Nope! We're good!" Yuna laughed uncomfortably.

 

"We're just gonna... go!" Fumika hesitated. All the girls ran out, leaving Negi, Daisuke, and the four other girls.

 

 

 

 

About 30 minutes later, Negi and Daisuke were walking down the main street of Mahora academy, with the four girls trailing behind.

 

"So you grew up in Wales?" Daisuke asked him. Negi nodded excitedly. "I visited there when I was younger."

 

"Really?!" Negi exclaimed. "It's so nice to meet someone who has similar experiences to me!" Asuna watched Negi from behind.

 

"He seems too excited!" Asuna frowned.

 

"Well he is only eleven years old Asuna!" Yue smiled. "It's probably still exciting for him to meet new people." As they walked down the street, Negi stopped.

 

"Asuna! I need to pick up a book from the store!" Negi yelled, walking into the building next to him. Asuna called to him, chasing him in.

 

"You going home Nodoka?" Haruna ask her.

 

"I have to do some work at the Mahora Library, I'll be back late." Nodoka remembered. She waved goodbye to Yue and Haruna who left through one of the alleys to the tram. Nodoka began walking down the street to the Library.

 

"So your name is Nodoka?" a voice asked. Nodoka turned to see Daisuke leaning on a bench on the sidewalk.

 

"U-um, yes... it is," she replied quietly. Daisuke smiled and stood up straight. He held out his hand. "Eh?" Nodoka paused.

 

"Where I come from, people shake hands when they meet each other for the first time." Nodoka hesitated for another second before grabbing his hand. Suddenly, out of nowhere, Daisuke lifted his other hand, holding a bright red rose.

 

"A...rose?" Nodoka asked, holding it in both her hands. Daisuke smiled again.

 

"You're cute, so I think we'll be seeing each other a lot more, Miss Nodoka." Daisuke began walking away when he stopped. "Also, one more thing. Beware who you trust in this town, because not all is what it's meant to be." With that, the boy disappeared in the crowd. Nodoka looked down at the rose, her face burning and red.

 

"Nodoka?" a voice called. Nodoka turned, hiding the flower. It was Asuna and Negi. "What are you doing here still?" Asuna asked.

 

"Um, I was just go-"

 

"Hey! Brat!" a voice interrupted. They looked to see Evangeline and Chachamaru standing behind them.

 

"Evangeline-san!" Negi called. "What are you doing here?" Evangeline frowned.

 

"Call all of your partners to my house. Now." Evangeline yelled.

 

"Eh, why?" Asuna asked.

 

"There's trouble. Lots of it."

Hey, so if anyone could just comment on if you like the story, that'd be amazing. No pressure or anything though haha

 

Chapter 3: News

 

Nodoka, Asuna, and Negi sat on small wooden chairs in Evangeline's resort dome. As they sat quietly, Chachamaru came in with a tray of cups. "Tea, Negi-sensei?" Chacharmaru asked, placing the tray on the table in front of them.

 

"Ah, thanks Chachamaru-san!" Negi smiled, grabbing a cup along with Asuna and Nodoka. As they sipped their tea, Nodoka made sure to keep the rose given to her by Daisuke hidden so as not to start questions. Just then, Evangeline stomped in.

 

"Where is everybody!?" Evangeline growled. "I told you to bring them here!"

 

"I sent them all telepathic messages with their pactio cards, so they should be here so-"

 

"WOW!" a voice screamed. They stood up and walked out of the pavilion to see everyone in the class there. Makie ran over to Evangeline.

 

"Evangeline this place is so cool!" Makie smiled. "Since when have you had this place?"

 

"Wh-wh-what is everyone doing here!" Evangeline ignored Makie.

 

"Well, since everyone in the class knows about magic, and really only like 6 of us don't have pactios, so we thought we might as well invite everyone! Except for Daisuke of course," Yuna rubbed Evangeline's head.

 

"Wait, wait WAIT!" Sakurako screamed. "Why does Evangeline have a place like this!?"

 

"You didn't know that Evangeline is a vampire?" Kazumi asked.

 

"What!?" Sakurako, Madoka, Kakizaki, Fuka, and Fumika gasped, being the only ones in the class that didn't know. Yotsuba just bowed her head, as if knowing for a long time, which didn't surprise anyone.

 

"Wait, so that Sakura Lane incident: that was you?" Fumika asked. Evangeline nodded, causing Fumika to faint.

 

"Fumika!" Fuka screamed, holding the unconscious Fumika.

 

"Why are we the last ones to know everything!" Madoka sighed.

 

"Okay! Enough with the comedy routine!" Evangeline growled. "Just get inside." Everyone followed her inside.

 

"Nodoka!" Yue called. Nodoka turned to her. "How was Library Island? Did you do that work?"

 

"U-um," Nodoka stuttered. "I didn't have time before Evangeline called us."

 

"Oh. I see." Yue mumbled, feeling suspicious.

 

 

 

"Anyways," Evangeline began, everyone now sitting in the large main room. "I recently got a message from an old friend."

 

"An old friend?" Asuna asked.

 

"I mean Chao Lingshen." Everyone gasped.

 

"Chao-san!" Fuka and Fumika cheered. "Where is she!?"

 

"She's still... wherever she is. She just sent me a message over communication."

 

"What did she say?" Hakase inquired.

 

"She told me about an escaped convict."

 

"Convict!?" Haruna gasped. "Like a murderer!?"

 

"No, no. He wasn't a murderer... I think," Evangeline paused.

 

"What about this guy?" Mana continued the conversation.

 

"Well apparently he's come to Mahora."

 

"Why!?" Ako screamed, getting freaked out second by second.

 

"Chao didn't say. I just thought I'd let you all know." Evangeline said.

 

"So, we can go now?" Kakizaki asked.

 

"Well technically, but you can't leave the dome for 24 hours," Evangeline told them.

 

"What!?" The three cheerleaders screamed.

 

 

 

 

After a couple minutes of disheveled explanation, the cheerleaders, Fuka, and Fumika and other classmates began a tour of the series of magical resorts. Meanwhile, the rest of the class remained with Evangeline.

 

"There's something else you want to say, right Evangeline?" Kazumi assumed. Evangeline remained silent for a moment.

 

"He goes by the name of the Dark King." Evangeline finally confessed.

 

"Dark King?" Chisame huffed. "What kind of amateur name is that!?"

 

"He's not to be taken lightly Chisame, or should I call you Chiu?"

 

"Shut up! That's a screen name that's totally different!" Chisame freaked.

 

"What's so powerful about him? Also, how did he get to our time and why is he here?" Yue ravaged Evangeline with a series of questions.

 

"Okay I'll just give you a summary: This man, the Dark King, used to work for the same group as Chao in her time. One day, he went mad taking a hold on some powerful forbidden magic. They threw him in prison where he stayed for almost five years. But then, he escaped and stole one of Chao's time travel machines."

 

"Why do you think he came here?" Kaede asked.

 

"In his prison cell, the walls were covered with one name: Negi Springfield." Everyone stared at Negi, who looked around in confusion.

 

"Wh-why me?" Negi breathed heavily.

 

"Even Chao was confused by it. We just need to be careful, because he'll be going after everyone in the class."

 

"Come on! I can take him!" Kotaro butted in.

 

"Unlikely. Chao said he was much stronger than her, and with the forbidden spell he got even stronger."

 

"What spell was it?" Negi asked.

 

"It was a spell of possession. But it's the strongest one ever created, to the point where the possessed would die for him. It's bad, in short. That's all I know."

 

"So I think we should guard all of our classmates, especially the ones that don't have pactios," Negi told the girls. They all nodded in agreement.

 

"I told old man Konoe, so he should have told the magic staff around the school. But still, this man is strong. Beware."

 

"Anyways," Asuna smiled. "Since were here for a while, beach time!" The girls cheered, running to the portal to the jungle resort, dragging Kotaro with them. Negi stayed where he was with Chisame, Evangeline, and Chachamaru.

 

"Look, as long as I don't get dragged into this, I'll be fine." Chisame told them, leaning on the table with her arm.

 

"Daisuke." Negi said. The others looked at him.

 

"What, Negi-sensei?" Chachamaru asked.

 

"That Daisuke-kun is the most suspicious." Negi admitted. "It appears he was very interested in talking to me and meeting me, which makes me thinks its him.  Right Evangeline?" But when Negi looked, Evangeline was gone. "Where did she go?"

 

"She got bored and went to sleep," Chachamaru said blatantly. Negi waved his arms in fury before walking off. Chisame got up and walked over.

 

"So what is Evangeline going to do about it?" Chisame asked. Chachamaru shrugged.

 

"My master seems ignorant of the topic."

 

"What does that mean?"

 

"I don't have an answer for that." Chisame sighed and followed after Negi. Just then, Evangeline returned to the room. "What are you going to do master?"

 

"I'm going to wait and see what happens. The boy cannot depend on me forever."

 

"Do you think he can beat that man?"

 

"Who knows."

Chapter 4: A Quivering Heart

 

As the girls prepared to leave the resort the next day, Yue halted Nodoka.

 

"Did something happen, Nodoka?" Yue asked. Nodoka immediately staggered, still hiding the rose in her bag.

 

"Nothing happened, I swear," Nodoka persuaded. Yue spied her for a second and then turned away.

 

"You know, rumor has it that Daisuke is the Dark King." Nodoka gasped.

 

"But-but that's not possible! Daisuke-kun is really nice!" Yue stopped and pointed at Nodoka.

 

"I knew it! Something did happen!" Yue accused Nodoka.

 

"A-after you guys left me, I ran into him. He was really nice and he gave me this rose!" Nodoka took the rose and gave it to Yue. Yue stared at the rose for a couple minutes, and then ran off with it. "Yue!" Nodoka yelled. She chased after her until Yue stopped by Evangeline.

 

"Evangeline!" Yue called.

 

"What is it girl?" Evangeline asked.

 

"Is it possible to enchant an object, or make an object out of magic?"

 

"This seems like a very random question. Why?" Yue showed Evangeline the rose.

 

"I want you to see if this rose has been enchanted," Yue told her. Nodoka jumped.

 

"Yue you don't have to!" Nodoka tried to stop her.  Evangeline took the rose.

 

"Who gave you this?" Evangeline asked.

 

"D-Daisuke-kun," Nodoka told her. Evangeline sighed.

 

"It'll take a couple days,  but I can get it checked out."

 

"Thank you, Evangeline-san!" Yue bowed before leaving the dome with Nodoka and the rest of the class.

 

"What is that boy up to?" Evangeline frowned.

 

 

 

 

"Hey Ako, what're you thinking about?" Yuna slapped the back of Ako's head, who was staring off into the distance after leaving Evangeline's house.

 

"Um, yeah I'm fine!" Ako smiled wryly.

 

"Man! Those resorts were so cool! And we only lost an hour in the real world!" Makie smiled.

 

"Do Negi and the others go there all the time?" Akira asked.

 

"I don't know, but I plan to go there a lot now!" Yuna laughed. The four girls laughed as they walked back to the main part of Mahora academy.

 

"Okay! Let's go get some dinner!" Makie cheered.

 

"I have to quickly get something I forgot at my locker!" Ako smiled. The other girls looked at  her for a minute.

 

"Um, okay," Yuna told her. "We'll meet you at the usual café!" Ako nodded and headed for the school. Yuna and Makie began walking down the road while Akira remained still, watching Ako run off.

 

"Ako," Akira worried.

 

Ako reached the entrance to the school. When she entered, she hit something and fell to the ground. "Sorry!" Ako winced.

 

"You should look where you walk," a voice told her. Ako looked up to see Fate standing in front of her.

 

"Fate-kun, what are you doing here?" Ako stood up quickly.

 

"You forget, I work here," Fate replied stoically. Ako laughed awkwardly.

 

"You're right, I'm sorry. If you'll excuse me," Ako bowed before walking by.

 

"You're still troubled," Fate told her, stopping her in her tracks.

 

"Eh?" Ako mumbled.

 

"You have a silly little crush on Negi Springfield," Fate faced her.

 

"Eh!?  No I don't!" Ako yelled.

 

"The saddest part is that you still don't admit it." 

 

"Stop it! I don't have a crush on Negi-sensei!"

 

"So, it's 'Nagi-san' then?" Fate took a step towards her. Ako froze.

 

"What?" She paused.

 

 

 

 

"I'm going to go check up on Ako!" Akira stood up at the café.

 

"What?" Makie asked.

 

"She's been gone for a while now!"  Akira told her.

 

"Ok, we'll... just be here then," Yuna tried to tell her, but Akira had already set off running. "What's with her?"

 

 

 

 

"I don't have a crush on Negi-sensei!" Ako screamed, a tear rolling down her face.

 

"But you do have one on Nagi-san?" Fate asked. Ako  remained silent, knowing that it was true. "Nagi-san, as you know, is just an extension of Negi, so you really do have a crush on Negi."

 

"That's a lie!" Ako cried.

 

"It's sad that you think you are tied down by him when really, you're tying him down."

 

"Eh?" Fate walked closer and closer to Ako.

 

"By hanging on to him, you're only causing trouble for Negi-kun. What if you bothered him while in battle, and he ended up dying?" 

 

"But-but-"

 

"It's different for the other girls like Nodoka or Yue because they are strong enough to handle themselves in battle,  but you. You are useless to everyone here and are only in the way."

 

"Stop!" Ako bit her lip, trying to hold back the tears. Fate sighed, walking back to the doorway.

 

"Maybe you should mature a little before even thinking about Negi-kun or Nagi-san or whoever you believe you have a chance with." With that, Fate walked out, disappearing into the forest towards Evangeline's house. Ako fell to the ground, crying nonstop.

 

"Is there anything I can do for you?" a voice called. Ako turned around, but couldn't see anyone.

 

"Who's there?" Ako asked.

 

"I'm a friend," the voice called. Ako stood up and walked to the hallway. There, on the opposite side, was a man wearing a long cloak and hood.

 

"I'm sorry, but I'm not suppose to talk to strangers," Ako half smiled.

 

"You want to be strong?" the figure asked Ako, who was turning around. Ako stopped.

 

"What?"

 

"If you want to be stronger, and help your friends, I can teach you."

 

"You can?" Ako asked, stepping closer. The man got off the wall and took a step towards Ako, who didn't retreat.

 

"Yes, I can. With a little help, you can be amazing," the man said. All of a sudden, the man took out a bright red rose and gave it to Ako. "A gift, for the young damsel in distress."

 

"Thanks! I'm really thankful-" Suddenly, Ako fell  to the ground, the man catching her and holding her in his arms.

 

"Plena Possessione Corporis," the man chanted.

 

 

 

 

"Ako!" Akira ran inside. She saw Ako's locker open and ran to the hallway, but there was no one there. "Ako? AKO!" 

Chapter 5: Missing

 

Negi sat at the table in his room with Asuna, Konoka, and Setsuna. He sipped his tea quietly while  the door opened.

 

"Oh Negi-sensei!" a voice called. From around the corner, Haruna appeared, along with Nodoka, Yue, and Chisame.

 

"Geez, why did I get dragged in here?" Chisame mumbled to herself.

 

"Ah, Haruna-san! And Nodoka-san, Yue-san, and Chiu-san!" Negi smiled.

 

"Don't call me that!" Chisame yelled.

 

"What are you guys doing here?" Asuna whined.

 

"We just stopped in to see how our favorite teacher was doing! I'll just take a spot." Before Asuna could complain, the four of them sat in between the four that were already there.

 

"Can't we ever have a peaceful night here?" Asuna sighed.

 

"But I like everyone here!" Konoka smiled innocently. Suddenly, Akira ran in, huffing and puffing.

 

"Negi-sensei!" Akira cried, sweat and tears rolling down her face.

 

"Akira-san? What's wrong?" Negi stood up, worried. Akira fell to the ground.

 

"Ako," Akira stuttered. "I can't find her anywhere!"

 

"Eh?" Negi gasped. "Are you sure she didn't just wander off into the academy?"

 

"No! She was going to meet me, Yuna, and Makie at the café after getting some stuff from her locker. She was gone a while, so I decided to see if she was still at her locker, but when I got there, all her stuff was lying on the ground and her locker was open and she was nowhere to be found! She's gone, Negi-sensei!" Negi remained silent? Could it have been the Dark King?

 

"Let's look for her Negi-sensei!" Setsuna told him. He looked at her and nodded.

 

"Let's go ask the other kids in the class if they have seen her!" All the kids  got  up and left the room except for Chisame.

 

"Why can't I have a normal day!" Chisame sighed before getting up and walking out the door. When she exited into the hallway, it was completely silent, nowhere there. "This place is kinda creepy at night." Chisame walked down the hallway, following the sound of Negi's voice. Suddenly, she heard something behind her. She turned around, but there was nobody there. "I hate this place." She turned back around, and standing in front of her was Ako. She screamed, freaked out a little. "Ako, there you are! You scared me!"

 

"Hello Chisame-san!" Ako smiled, rather creepily. For a second, Ako remained completely still.

 

"Um, Ako-san? Are you okay?" Chisame asked, taking a step back.

 

"Do you want a normal life?" Ako asked. Chisame sighed.

 

"Haah, I wish. But considering our situation, I think it's sort of impossible at this point."

 

"It's possible," Ako smiled again. Chisame froze. "Chisame-san?" Chisame grabbed Ako by the shoulders.

 

"It is!? Tell me! Tell me! TELL ME!" Chisame hissed.

 

"Chisame-san, that hurts a little," Ako laughed a little. Chisame took a breath in before taking her hands off of Ako.

 

"Sorry, I just got a little excited." Chisame cleared her throat. "So, how is it possible?"

 

"It starts with this!" Suddenly, Ako jumped at Chisame, covering her mouth.

 

 

 

 

"Eh? Ako-san?"  Madoka asked Negi, who was huffing alongside Akira.

 

"We didn't even have band practice tonight," Kakizaki reminded them. "So we haven't seen her at all." 

 

"Is there something wrong?" Sakurako asked. Negi paused.

 

"Nothing! We just haven't seen her and I... need her help with something," Negi laughed. "Goodbye!" Negi dragged Akira outside.

 

"Why didn't you tell them?" Akira asked.

 

"I don't want to get everyone involved again!" Negi pleaded. "Let's just keep it a secret with those who need to know."

 

"I will have to tell Makie and Yuna though," Akira told him. Negi sighed.

 

"Okay, but let's keep searching first." Negi and Akira ran  off. Soon they ran into the Asuna, Konoka, Setsuna, Haruna, Yue, and Nodoka.

 

"Have you found anything?" Akira asked. Asuna shook her head.

 

"No one has seen her," Yue told Negi.

 

"Negi-sensei?" a voice asked.  They turned to see Daisuke standing there.

 

"Daisuke-kun!" Negi jumped, startled.

 

"What is everyone doing out here so late?" Daisuke asked.

 

"We... were just watching the stars!" Haruna interrupted.

 

"Um, there are no stars out," Daisuke laughed.

 

"Exactly why we were going inside!" Konoka smiled. They laughed for a minute before heading inside. As Nodoka walked, Daisuke stopped her.

 

"Eh?" Nodoka hesitated.

 

"You should be careful," Daisuke smiled. "It's dangerous at night."

 

"She'll be fine," Yue appeared out of nowhere. Daisuke smiled before giving one last look at Nodoka before walking off.

 

"T-thanks Yue," Nodoka smiled. Yue frowned.

 

"Nodoka you need to make up your mind!" Nodoka jumped. "You can't string Daisuke and Negi along. It's not fair for either of them and it's only going to get in Negi-sensei's way!"

 

"Yue!" Nodoka  tried to talk. Yue sighed.

 

"I'm sorry. It's not fair to them... or to me." Yue walked off, leaving Nodoka alone.

 

"She's right," Nodoka thought.

 

"It's dangerous at night," a voice whispered. Nodoka jumped and turned around. Behind her stood a man, hidden by a long cloak. Nodoka backed up.

 

"A-are you?" Nodoka quivered. The man said nothing. Nodoka gulped.

 

"Adeat!" Nodoka chanted. Her Diarium Ejus appeared in her hands, and Nodoka pointed the Comptina Daemonia. "What is your name!" Nodoka yelled. Suddenly, the man was gone. In a second, the man stood behind her.

 

"I was going to handle you later, but you're too dangerous to leave around." The man grabbed Nodoka's head and with a small chant, Nodoka fell to the ground. "Plena Possessione Corporis."

 

 

 

 

The rest of the gang sat inside of Negi's room. "We couldn't  find her," Setsuna sighed. Konoka passed everyone another cup of tea.

 

"We'll just have to continue tomorrow," Negi frowned. "I'll notify Takahata-kun about it in the morning. I'm sure he'll know what to do."

 

"Thank you Negi-sensei," Akira bowed. She quickly left the room. Haruna and Yue got up and left soon afterwards.

 

"This is going to be a mess," Negi sighed. Asuna comforted him.

 

"It'll be okay," Asuna sighed.

 

Meanwhile, Haruna and Yue were walking down the hallway, when Yue flinched.

 

"Wait, where's Nodoka?"

Chapter 6: New Enemies (?)

 

The Class bell rang right when Asuna ran through the door. "Made it," Asuna huffed, out of breath. Konoka laughed from behind, along with Setsuna.

 

"Nothing seems to ever stick with you," Setsuna smiled. Asuna looked up at the class, which was almost completely silent.

 

"What's wrong?" Asuna asked. "This isn't a typical morning aura."

 

"They're gone!" Makie cried.

 

"Eh?" Setsuna asked.

 

"All three of them, they're gone!" Yuna cried with Makie.

 

"Who's gone!?" Asuna yelled.

 

"Ako, Chisame, and Nodoka!"

 

"EH!? Chisame and Nodoka went missing too?" Konoka worried.

 

"Yue how did not know about this you room with her!" Asuna yelled at Yue, who was sitting at her desk. Yue remained silent, looking away.

 

"What about Chisame-san? Who would want to take her!?" Fumika whined.

 

"Settle down!" a voice rang. The girls turned to see Mr. Matsumoto standing in the doorway.

 

"But Matsumoto-sensei, we have students missing. Plus... the person who typically tells us to bow is one of them." Fuka told him. Mr. Matsumoto sighed.

 

"The principal has received letters from all 3 students, telling of their absence." Mr. Matsumoto reported to the class.

 

"He did?" Konoka asked. Mr. Matsumoto nodded.

 

"Now then, can we please get to class?" he smiled. The girls whimpered before going to their seats. Yue turned and stared at Daisuke, who remained silent at the back of the class. She growled softly.

 

 

 

 

The bell rang and Mr. Matsumoto left the room immediately.  Konoka got up. "Let's go see grandfather!" Konoka told Asuna. She nodded and got up with Setsuna.

 

"We're coming with you," Haruna told them, with Yue, who remained silent.

 

"Us too!" Makie told  them with Akira and Yuna. They all  left in a hurry and the other girls remained, chatting.

 

"You're not going to go, Ayaka?" Chizuru asked her. Ayaka sighed.

 

"If the principal has notes, then there isn't  a problem is there?" Chizuru nodded.

 

"You're not going to go master?" Chachamaru asked Evangeline. She shook her head. A second later, Chachamaru left the room after the rest of the girls.

 

"Let's go Kotaro!" Natsume grabbed Kotaro by the ear and dragged him out.

 

"This is quite a spirited class," Daisuke smiled.

 

"But they're also a bunch of fools." Evangeline walked over to him.

 

"I hope you won't bother me and my work Evangeline," Daisuke smiled. Evangeline frowned.

 

"Do what you like, but I warn you. They won't like it."

 

 

 

 

"Yes, I have received notes." Principal Konoe said, taking out the three notes. "They have even been examined for forgery but they're 100% matches. Ako's note says she is visiting a sick relative, Nodoka's that she has to work overtime at Library Island, and Chisame's is that she is spending time working on her... website? Now all of these, at least two of them, are valid excuses and they will not get in trouble."

 

"You don't even believe that do you?" a voice called. All of them turned to see Evangeline standing in the doorway.

 

"Evangeline-san?" Natsume gasped.

"You know who we're going against right? A day after receiving the news about the Dark King and there are already 3 girls missing? You know the power that that possession spell has. He could have easily made the girls write those notes themselves and send them."

 

"Well... you do have a point." Konoe rubbed his beard.

 

"It's the truth grandpa!" Konoka cried. "They were taken or whatever!"

 

"I will inform Negi and the rest of the magic teachers right away. Don't worry, I won't allow anyone else to be taken! Now be gone! I have work to do." The girls slowly left the room.

 

"Thanks Evangeline-san!" Akira bowed.

 

"I warned all of you yesterday but you didn't listen! Now Ako, Chisame, and Nodoka are gone. If you are not careful you'll be next." Evangeline left with a huff, Chachamaru following after her.

 

"That Evangeline really does care about us!" Yuna smiled.

 

"What are all of you still doing here?" a  voice asked. They turned and Daisuke was standing there.

 

"What are you doing here Daisuke-kun?" Asuna asked.

 

"I need to have a word with the princ-" Suddenly, Yue slapped Daisuke. Everyone gasped.

 

"Yue!" Haruna yelled, grabbing her.

 

"It's your fault!" Yue cried, tears rolling down her face. "Because of you, Nodoka is gone!"

 

"I have no idea what you're talking about!" Daisuke yelled. "But from what I've seen with you and Nodoka, I suggest you re-examine what you think the problem is." Yue froze and then ran off in the opposite direction.

 

"Yue!" Haruna ran after her, followed by Konoka, Setsuna, and Asuna.

 

"Well this just became awkward," Yuna rubbed the back of her head. "We're just gonna... go." Yuna dragged Makie off, followed by Akira, Natsume and Kotaro. Daisuke stood there, looking down.

 

"No," he frowned. "Maybe she was right."

 

 

 

 

"What!? You had a fight with Nodoka last night?" Asuna jumped. She, Yue, Haruna, Negi, Konoka, and Setsuna all sat outside on the steps. Yue nodded.

 

"This is all my fault." Yue cried. "But it's Daisuke I just know it!"

 

"I think you're right!" Negi stood up. "I've already let 3 students down I won't let another!" Asuna smiled.

 

"Then we've got to figure out how to defeat the Dark King!" Haruna stood up.

 

"I think finding him will be the bigger problem." Setsuna sighed.

 

"It appears that he only comes out at night," Negi began to think. "If we can lay some sort of trap for him, then we can catch him."

 

"But who would be the bait?" Asuna asked. They all stared at her. "Eeeehh!?"

 

 

 

 

"I don't like this plan," Asuna sighed to herself. It was now the middle of the night and Asuna was standing in the middle of the space right in front of the dorms. "Ummmm, hello?" There was complete silence and Asuna began to shake. "This isn't working."

 

"What isn't working?" someone placed a hand on her shoulder. She jumped back. It was Mr. Matsumoto.

 

"Oh Matsumoto-sensei, you scared me!" Asuna smiled.

 

"What are you doing here?"

 

"Well... I was just... standing here?" She lied to him.

 

"What's wrong?"

 

"I don't know, I'm just lonely?" Asuna says, finding it hard to come up with a lie.

 

"Lonely?" he asked. She laughed.

 

"Nevermind! I'll just go in, this was stupid." As she began to walk, Mr. Matsumoto stopped her.

 

"I can help you feel better," Mr. Matsumoto whispered. Asuna jumped back.

 

"Eh?" She said.

 

"I can help you make friends! You'll be in a better place!" Suddenly, he tried to grab her mouth.

 

"Adeat!" Asuna tried to yell. Suddenly, Asuna's Ensis Exorcizans appeared and she slapped Mr. Matsumoto, jumping back. "It's him!" Suddenly, Negi, Konoka, Setsuna, Yue,  and Haruna jumped out of the bushes. "It worked! I can't believe my crappy lie worked! How could you fall for that!?"

 

"Matsumoto-sensei?" Konoka frowned. "How could you?"

 

"You might as well call him by his real name, Dark King!" Mr. Matsumoto began to laugh maniacally.

 

"I was wondering how long this charade would last!" He laughed.

 

"It lasted two days, nice try," Haruna rubbed the back of her head. Everyone pulled out their weapons, getting ready to fight.

 

"You have your army? Well so do I!" Matsumoto waved his hand and suddenly three portals appeared. From within, Nodoka, Chisame, and Ako appeared.

 

"Ako!" Negi yelled.

 

"Nodoka!" Yue yelled.

 

"Chisame!" Asuna yelled. "Well somebody had to worry about her." All three of them remained still. They were wearing their uniforms, but they were painted entirely black.

 

"They're no longer your students Negi Springfield, they're my slaves!" Matsumoto laughed. He held out his hand and shot out an arrow of light at the group. It was going right for Negi when suddenly someone got in the way and blocked it. Negi closed his eyes and when he opened them, Daisuke was standing in front of them.

 

"Daisuke-kun!" Negi yelled.

 

"Please, call me Daisuke," he smiled.
