A Simple Wish
Twenty-Eighth Period:
The Scoop of the Century!!!


It took young Negi Springfield nearly half an hour to gather all of his belongings for his move to Shizuna-sensei's abode, even though aside from a few knick-knacks the young instructor has gotten since taking his position as the youngest instructor ever at the Mahora Academy for girls, all he has on him is the backpack he brought with him when he first arrived with his clothing and most of the magical items he owns or what was left after his battle with Evangeline. The main reason why it had taken him so long to get all of his stuff together is because of a rather teary-eyed Konoka attached to his leg like a lion to its captured prey. The young woman has grown quite fond of the young instructor and is very reluctant to let him just simply pack up and move out of their room, especially now that he has somehow grown up really fast into something more than just her `cute little brother'…something much more.

Asuna is trying with all of her might to separate her best friend from their instructor, but her grip is surprisingly strong and resilient for someone who's extracurricular activities include being the President of the Fortune Telling Club and being a member of the Library Club. “Come on Konoka,” she pleads while pulling back with all her might, which in turns lifts Konoka's body completely off the ground, “your grandfather ordered Negi to move out of our room, you and I both knew that he wasn't gonna stay permanently…so…let…go!” she finishes with a hard tug between each word. 

NEVER!” the granddaughter of the school Headmaster shouts, with tears pouring from her eyes. “I don't care what grandpa said, I don't want Negi-kun to leave!”

The teenaged Magister Magi in training sweatdrops at her words. “Look Konoka-san,” he calmly begins while gently placing his hands on hers, “I really don't want to leave either. I like living with you and Asuna, but I have to do what the Headmaster tells me. I'm still your instructor so we'll see each other almost every day, and I'll stop by here as much as I can.” Konoka's grip on his arm loosens and he uses this opportunity to escape from her grasp.

The young raven-haired woman looks up at her former roommate, tears in the corners of her eyes. “Do you…*sniff*…do you mean it Negi?”

“Of course he means it!” Asuna suddenly shouts, letting go of her good friend. “He'll come visit us if he knows what's good for him!” She flexes her right arm and gives the other two a cheeky smile. “I'll drag him here kicking and screaming if I have to!” A light frown mars her pretty features as she notices the ermine Albert Chamomile quickly darting around Negi and Konoka, going unnoticed by both of them. `What's that little royal pain up to?' she thinks to herself.

Negi rubs the back of his head with a nervous chuckle at Asuna's little exclamation before leaning down and gently wiping away the other girl's tears. “I promise you Konoka-san. Besides, with your cooking, I couldn't stay away if I tried.”

The young Konoe turns away and blushes deeply. `I still can't get over how handsome he is now that he's…bigger,' her mind squeaks. She suddenly realizes how close they are right now. `Maybe…maybe I could give him a better reason to visit…besides just my cooking.' Without even thinking clearly, she cups Negi's cheeks and leans in, capturing his lips with hers.

Asuna's eyes become small white dots and she mutters out a quick, “Huh?” just before brilliant white light forms under the instructor and the girl who is kissing him, light in the shape of a circle with strange runes all inside of it, a probationary contract circle. A large vein throbs on her forehead and she begins to crack her knuckles menacingly, staring murderously at a soon-to-be dead talking ermine who is currently dancing around waving a `Victory!' flag. 

Konoka backs off of the kiss, the magic of the probationary contract plus the feeling of her first kiss filling her with a strong sense of exhilaration. “Wow,” she mutters, brushing some hair out of her eyes, “that was…magical!” 

`You have no idea,' Negi, Asuna and Chamo-kun all simultaneously think, the now taller of the three still blushing heavily at his first kiss with Konoka…which strangely made him feel a lot differently then when Asuna kissed him not too long ago.  

The granddaughter of the Headmaster bows her head down in embarrassment for a moment and when she looks up, a card is hovering right in front of her eyes. “H-Hey,” she stammers out, “what's this!? A tarot card!?” She quickly snatches it with a dreamy look spreading across her face while the air around her shimmers with little hearts floating around. Her eyes widen and she squeals out in delight as she gets a better look at it. “EEK! A tarot card with my picture on it!” She looks over at the now startled Magi in training. “Negi-kun, did you make this for me as a going away present?” 

Negi scratches the back of his head in nervousness, but luckily for him, Albert climbs up the back of his clothes and mutters in is ear, “Tell her `yes' big brother. She doesn't know about your status so we should keep quiet about everything for right now since the less people who know about us, the less likely there will be gossip.” 

The young Magi turns his attention back to the raven-haired girl who gave him his second kiss and nods vigorously. “O-Of course Konoka-san! I knew you were into all that fortune telling stuff and I thought you'd really enjoy that gift!”

Clinging to the young man's back, the snow-white ermine rubs his chin while nodding. “Good one big brother!” A sudden thought comes to him and he asks, “Hey big brother, did you get a card just like that when we did the probationary contract with ane-san?” 

“Huh?” Negi mutters out loud. “Oh!” He suddenly reaches into his pocket and pulls out the card that is proof of his contract with Asuna. “I almost forgot about this one!” 

Konoka looks up from admiring her `gift' and quickly notices that her favorite instructor is holding another `tarot card'. Moving at a speed that would impress any Magi and his or her partner, the young woman snatches the card from Negi's grasp, squealing again as she takes in the picture on this one. “Oh wow! This tarot card has Asuna's picture on it! You made her one too! Negi-kun, you're the coolest!” 

Her roommate and best friend finally snaps out of her shock and walks up to her. “Hey, what are you talking abo-whoa! That really is me!” she closely scrutinizes the picture of herself on the strange card and mutters, “though I wouldn't be caught dead in that outfit.” 

Konoka is bouncing back and forth on the balls of her feet in pure giddiness. “Oh these are the greatest things I've ever seen! Asuna, can I borrow yours for a little bit? I want to show these to the rest of the fortune telling club, they're gonna be so jealous!” Without waiting for an answer, she clutches both `tarot cards' and runs out of her room, not noticing the Mahora Paparazzi who is standing on the other side of the door, having just listened in to everything that was going on inside and is still taking anything else that is being said. 

The twin pony-tailed young woman walks over to Negi, a light frown on her face. “Okay, what's the deal with those cards and why did the one with Konoka on it just suddenly appear after she…kissed you?” She sends the extremely cheerful ermine on Negi's shoulder a menacing death glare, quickly wiping away the smile on his tiny face. “I know you got her stuck in a probationary contract thingy you vermin ermine, but how come that card with me on it didn't pop up after I…uh…kissed Negi?” Asuna wisely chooses this moment to look away, as both her and the young Magi's faces heat up in embarrassment. “And why did you have Negi make a contract with Konoka? I don't want her getting involved in any of Negi's magical business, especially if she could get hurt.” 

“It's quite simple ane-san,” Chamo-kun begins while climbing on top of his `big brother's' head, “Because Konoka-ne-san's grandfather, the Headmaster is an old Magi himself, it's probably safe to assume that ne-san has magic in her blood, even if she doesn't know it. It is always helpful to make contracts with another magical being, trust me on this one.” 

They all freeze as a loud `thunk' sound resounds just outside their room, sounding as if something fell onto the floor. Asuna quickly rushes over, swings the door open and looks back and forth for any sign of who or whatever made the sound. After a couple of looks, she shrugs and closes the door. Right after she closes it the door to another dorm room that was fortunately or unfortunately empty depending on who you are opens and Kazumi walks out, rubbing her jaw with a bewildered look on her face. `Th-That ermine talked!' she thinks in wonder. She quickly shakes it off and quietly rushes back to the door to Negi, Asuna and Konoka's room, fully intent on catching every littler word that is spoken, her eyes sparking at this journalistic marvel in progress. 

Back in the room Albert continues on. “And now to the cards. They are proof of the probationary contracts both you and ne-san have with big brother. After you initiated a true contract with big brother I kept the card hidden because while we were battling Evangeline she didn't realize how powerful both of you were together and held back. That gave you an advantage against her, even if it was just a small one.” 

“So…the only reason we won was because she went easy on us. And if we have to fight her again… does that mean that she'll beat us?” Negi questions, feeling a bit unease at the thought of possibly losing against the cursed vampire and getting all of his blood sucked out so she can be free to roam and probably terrorize anywhere she feels outside of the school grounds. 

The snow-white ermine shakes his head vigorously. “Of course not! I will admit that we would've had a tougher time beating her if she had fought to her fullest, but a win is a win, so you shouldn't let it get to you big brother…and you too ane-san!” The ermine decides to keep the full truth from them to keep their morals up high. After watching Evangeline in action, he could tell that she was holding back quite a lot and just toying with Negi and Asuna. After some light research, he realized that the `Undying Wizard' is in fact much, much older than she let on and probably has mastered an innumerable amount of spells and become shockingly powerful. `I think I'll keep that info to myself for now,' he wisely thinks.

“I'm not bothered,” Asuna admits, “we beat her, end of discussion.” 

“That's the spirit!” Albert cheers, trying to remain upbeat, “and now that you've magically aged, your powers have increased as well to fit your more mature body. I'm confident if you ever fight Evangeline again, she'll have a pretty rough time taking you down, even if she's fighting all-out.” He suddenly whips out his magical ermine chalk and waves it around for a moment, creating two duplicate probationary contract cards. He hands the one with Asuna on it over to her. “Okay, these are copies of the real cards. I want you to keep your copy on you at all times ane-san, and the same goes to you with the real ones big brother! We'll have to get those from Konoka-ne-san and give her the copy.” 

Asuna grabs the copy of her card while Negi grabs the other. “I don't get it,” he begins, “I know that I need to hold onto the contracts, but what do Asuna and Konoka-san need copies for?” 

Negi's `pet' pulls out a cigarette and lights it and is about to take a drag when Asuna quickly grabs it and puts it out with a look of annoyance. The ermine sighs lightly before responding, “There are a couple of reasons actually. First, you can use the card to communicate telepathically with each other.” 

“Telepathically?” the twin pony-tailed young woman asks. “You mean like with our minds?” When Chamo-kun nods in response, Asuna gazes down at her card in wonder. “Wow, that's pretty cool! What else do these things do?” 

“Plenty ane-san. Another is big brother's ability now to summon you from far away.” Before either humans can ask about that, he adds, “if big-brother were in trouble and would need your help, all he'll need to do is use the call upon you with his card and you'll appear at his side, no matter where you are. The last, and certainly most important ability is its powers to invoke your abilities and tools.” 

“Tools?” Negi questions. “What tools? I know about her abilities, since she did use them to fight off Chachamaru-san, but I didn't see her using any tools of any kind.” 

The ermine hops down onto the floor and stands in front of Asuna, holding his chalk in his hand. “Here, I'll show you. Ane-san, hold your card like so and say `Adeat'.” 

With a quizzical look in her eyes, she hold out her card and mutters, “Adeat,” and just as the words leave her lips, the card glows a brilliant white and her skirt floats up slightly as the card elongates into a dangerous looking…giant fan with the words `Magister Magi Asuna' written at the top. Asuna's look of surprise is quickly reverted into a mixture of confusion and skepticism. “H-Hey! What the hell is this?!” She shouts. “This stupid looking thing doesn't look like that cool looking sword I'm holding on the card! How am I supposed to fight anybody with this?! Give them a nasty paper cut!?” 

Large sweatdrops form on both Negi and Albert's heads. “Oookay…that's weird,” the teenaged Magi mutters, “maybe looks are deceiving or something. I think your weapon is called the `Ensis Exorcizans'. I just hope it's as powerful as the name says it is.” 

“Oh, and when you want to store is, say `Abeat',” Negi's old friend chimes in. 

She does and it reverts back into its card form. Asuna blinks and then says, “Adeat,” again, watching in awe as the card becomes her weapon once more. Her eyes become large white dots as she says, “This is great! I can conjure magic!” The young woman holds her fan up proudly. “Wow! This rocks! It's like I'm a wizard too.” 

Negi smiles happily. “Well I'm glad that you're happy Asuna.” 

“Yes,” Chamo-kun agrees, “and use your weapon well.” 

The occasionally temperamental young woman changes her weapon back into a card again and rubs the back of her head. “Man, everyday here since you've come along is like one big adventure after another Negi! Why don't we get your stuff so you can finally move over to Shizuna-sensei's? Konoka's in a better mood, but I'm pretty sure she'll try to keep you in here if we're still here when she gets back.” With that, the two humans and snow-white ermine start to exit the room. 

They are just a few feet out when Chamo-kun hops off of Negi's shoulder. “You go on ahead,” he says to the other two, “I forgot to grab something. I know the way so don't worry about me.” The two humans shrug and go on their way, neither of them noticing the grin on the ermine's face or the strange glint in his eyes. The small talking animal runs over into the bedrooms and leaps on top of Konoka's dresser. He pries open the top drawer and gazes in awe at the items that make up his bed every night, specifically since they all belong to the young Konoe. Without a moment's hesitation, he leaps inside and begins to dig through the `bedding material', looking for the very best pair to take with him. After a minute or so of searching, he finds the perfect bra and panty to take along. 

Albert leaps to the floor and happily trots out of the room, but skids to a halt as he comes head to head…er…shin with one of the last people he wanted to run into: Student Number 3, Kazumi Asakura A.K.A `The Mahora Paparazzi'. The young woman kneels down in front of the ermine, grinning in a way that sends chills running through his soul. She holds out her recorder in front of him and hits the record button. “Alright now Mr. Ermine, I know you can talk so unless you want me to sell you to a lab or a zoo or something else much worse…tell me everything!”

It took Haruna and Yue nearly two hours, but they finally managed to calm Nodoka down, a feat unto itself since she was completely devastated at the thought of her beloved Negi being upset at her in any way. Her two best friends sit on each side of her on her bed. “I'm know Negi-sensei's not mad at you,” the tallest of the group softly says while rubbing the shy librarian's back. 

“Yeah,” Yue chimes in, “he looked shocked and confused, but not angry at all, especially not to you.” 

“W-What…*sniff*…what do you mean?” 

The smart, yet somewhat lethargic young woman lets out the briefest of smirks. “I might not pay attention to Negi-sensei's lessons like you two, but I do pay attention to everything else. I've seen the little looks he gives you when he thinks nobody's watching. He likes you.” 

Nodoka lowers her face again and her long bangs cover her eyes, though the redness on her cheeks is still quite visible. “Do you think so?” The hopefulness in her voice widens the smiles on her two friends. 

“Of course!” Haruna happily says, patting the librarian on the back hard and nearly knocking her to the floor. “I never really thought about it til now, but Negi-sensei's always picking you first when he asks someone to present their work to the class.” 

The shy young woman looks back up to her friends, a glorious smile on her face. “You…you're right! He does pick me all the time!” She places her hands on her cheeks with a slight giggle. `Negi-sensei likes me!' her mind squeals in jubilation. 

Yue suddenly leans closer to Nodoka, an odd gleam in her eyes. “You know, I've been wondering something for the last couple of hours and since you're in a better mood, now's the best time to ask you.” 

“Ask me what?” She feels a slight sense of dread at the look on her friend's face at the moment. 

“There was a lot of commotion going on when most of the girls were arguing about that necklace with the wishing thing and I couldn't hear too well.” She pauses to let out an uncharacteristically evil grin. “What did you wish for Nodoka?” 

The librarian lets out a startled, “eep!” as her best friends close in on her, both wanting to know what she said that somehow made their cute young instructor rapidly age into a very hot young man.

“Wow!” Asuna says in a hushed whisper, “This place is really nice!” 

Both she and Negi have just entered Shizuna-sensei's house in the residential/dormitory district. The first thing they notice as they enter through the front door while the advisor politely steps aside to let them in is how well furnished the house is. The instructor and student remove their shoes and place them to the side of the door. “Thank you for your compliment Kagurazaka-san,” Shizuna replies with a smile, “I take pride in how well my house is presented. You are in fact the very first student I have had in here. Please put your things down so I can give you the tour.” They do as they are asked and follow the oldest of the three around the house while she points out certain items she has acquired over the years here and there. After a couple of minutes, the little tour ends in front of the last room. She opens the door to a nice sized room fit with a dresser, a mahogany desk and a comfortable looking bed. “This will be your room Negi-sensei.” 

The now teenage instructor walks into his new room, taking everything in with an appreciative look. He walks over to the window and opens it, revealing the hustle and bustle of life outside. He turns around with a warm smile on his face, a smile that gives both women in front of him butterflies in their stomachs, though both would only admit that it was probably something they ate. “I think I'm going to like it here,” he mildly comments. 

Shizuna smiles gratefully. “Well I'm glad that you find my residence suitable to your tastes.” With a quick thought, she turns to Negi's first probationary partner, her smile never leaving her face. “Well Asuna-san, Negi-sensei did not bring much with him and there is still plenty of daylight left outside, so why don't you go out and enjoy the rest of the day? I will be sure to have Negi completely unpacked and comfortable.” 

Asuna blinks a couple of times, knowing that she should leave, but not really wanting to. She looks at the Magister Magi in training, who shrugs his shoulders slightly. “I guess you're right,” she mutters. “I'll be back just to check in before curfew time to make sure everything's okay.” With a small wave, she reluctantly leaves, feeling as though what she's doing is a very bad idea. 

After the temperamental young woman leaves, the advisor claps her hands together with a cheerful smile. “Alright now! Please unpack all of your belongings and when you are done, we can set up a few of the rules of my household!” 

Negi pauses in mid step and turns around, a quizzical expression on his face. “Rules?”

Kazumi sits down on her bed, digesting everything Chamo has just told her, which is quite a bit…even for her. The young reporter doesn't have to worry about expecting any company since, because of her reputation and ability to find out anything and everything about anybody, she doesn't have any roommates. “I never realized…” she whispers under her breath, “I never imagined there being a whole other world out there that most normal people never get to know about.” 

“I know it's a lot to take in ne-san,” the talking ermine calmly replies while giving her a nickname at the same time, “but I know you can handle it.” 

Kazumi rubs her chin thoughtfully while her mind moves a mile a minute. `This is…monumental!' she thinks in glee. `With this little ermine on my side, I could sell books, sponsor television shows, movies, games, merchandise and just about anything else and make millions off all this info, but I still need more proof than just his word…even though a talking ermine is something you definitely don't see every day.' As a sudden thought occurs to her, she leans in closer to Albert, a devilishly wicked smile on her face. “So tell me Chamo-kun,” she starts in a voice laced with honey, “just how do you get one of those probationary cards again?” 

******

Some time later Negi begrudgingly enters the bath hall on orders from Shizuna-sensei that if he is to stay with her, he must take at least one bath a day. He has made sure that it's now the time for only academy staff to use the baths and not any of the students in order to prevent any problems. He walks in the completely empty area and sighs in relief, not particularly enjoying having company while having to bathe. He places a wooden tub full of cleaning supplies into the water and then lowers himself into the hot, relaxing water, letting out a small smile of comfort. “This actually isn't that bad,” he mutters out loud. “Well…it's better than the last bath I took,” the young man adds, remembering not too long ago when Asuna dragged him into this bathing hall and literally threw him into the water. 

`It wasn't exactly my fondest memory,' he thinks with a grimace, `but then again, Asuna-san was a lot gentler cleaning me than I expected her to be.' 

The young instructor spends the next few minutes washing himself up while getting a good look at his new aged body. He looks around a couple of times to make sure that the Bath Hall is completely empty before standing up and directing his gaze downwards and opens his towel, a small smirk forming on his lips. He mutters out a quick, “Whoa,” before the sounds of someone entering catches his ear and he hurriedly sits back down into the cloudy water, his face burning in embarrassment as he realizes what he was just doing. Negi makes sure the towel is completely covering him up again before turning around to see who has entered. 

As he does, his eyes widen in shock. “S-Shizuna-sensei!?” he sputters out. “What are you doing in here?!” 

“It's the instructor's time to bathe if they so choose,” she calmly replies while taking slow steps into the water, her towel hugging her curves in all the right places, “and I like to feel clean before going to bed. Is there something wrong with that Negi-kun?” 

Something about the way she is looking at him makes the young Magi in training feel quite nervous. “N-No, nothing's wrong.” As his advisor gets nearer and nearer, he begins to scoot away. “Well I…I guess I'll go to another spot to give you some privacy.” He turns around and is a moment away from freedom when she grabs his arm and holds the young man in place. 

“Oh there's no need to do that Negi-kun,” she coos, making the instructor even more nervous, “we're both adults now, there is nothing to be worried about.” As he reluctantly turns back around and calms down, the young woman wearing the Shizuna wig and mask fights hard to hold back her smile of triumph. `Good Negi-kun, let yourself relax. Calm down so you can tell and show me all your secrets!' thinks Kazumi with glee, then starts to give Negi a long and slow back massage, helping to calm the young Magi down a little. “Negi-kun, can you do me a favor?” she asks Negi as she starts to give small kisses on Negi's back, taking both of them by surprise at her brazen actions. `W-What in the world am I doing?' the Mahora Paparazzi thinks to herself, though is unable to stop what she's doing.

“A…A favor? What kind?” Negi stutters as he feels his nervousness grow at the much too forward `advisor', but at the same time feels something not too unpleasant stir deep within himself as his vision goes mildly hazy. `What's going on? I-I feel l-like I'm going to burst!' The young instructor is still adjusting to his newfound young male's hormones and greatly increased magical power and both are proving to be a very interesting combination, especially in his current situation.

Also, unknown to the two currently in the Bath Hall, Chamo made a probationary circle within the bathing area shortly after he moved in with Negi and his former room mates, just in case his big brother decided to have any `extracurricular activities' with any of his lovely young students. 

“Please show me some of your magic,” the imposter Shizuna says to Negi as she stops her ministrations, much to the relief of Negi…though the sad puppy eyes look she is now giving him makes the young man wish she went back to massaging him.

“H-huh?” Negi questions, look his advisor is giving him helping to slowly crumble away his resistance.

“Please,” Shizuna pleads as she goes to Plan B and moves into glomping range. 

“Wha…” is the only thing Negi can say before his head gets sandwiched in the lovely woman's ample bosom, his arms flapping up and down rapidly like a humming bird and his face flaming red. Negi's mind is trying to find a way out of his predicament when something bursts forth from inside of him and his eyes glaze over. 

Kazumi smiles in triumph as she notices Negi start to glow, but it is short lived as his arms flop down to his sides. For a brief moment she thinks that he might've gone unconscious from the head rush and overexertion when he suddenly lifts himself up and stands to his full height and looks down at the surprised `Shizuna' before he makes his move. 

Kazumi can only utter a short “What?” before Negi puts a hand behind her head, leans down and gives her an earth-shattering kiss. His tongue quickly finds its way into the startled young woman's mouth as an uncontrolled burst of magic works its way in between them, Negi's raging hormones causing his magic to be erratic and unpredictable. Neither notice the activation of the probationary circle all around them as they are still deep in their kiss that is giving Kazumi such euphoria that she falls unconscious right after Negi pulls away.

The young man shakes himself out of his stupor and notices that Shizuna has fainted because of their powerful kiss. He blushes heavily in embarrassment and hurriedly carries her out of the pool bridal style and leaves her lying down on one of the lawn chairs. He then takes off to the changing rooms, giving a small thanks to whatever higher powers out there that the towel around his advisor didn't fall off. He never notices a tarot card materializing out of thin air over the prone Kazumi before fluttering down on top of her. 

A few minutes later, Kazumi wakes up in a daze from Negi's kiss and looks around the Bath Hall. “Huh? How'd I get here?” she mutters out loud while standing up. She then looks into the warm waters and sees her reflection. 

“Why am I wearing this disguise?” she asks herself out loud before taking off the wig and Shizuna mask. The reporter places them down and then notices a facedown card on the floor next to her. She picks it up and her eyes widen at what is on the card, “Huh?! A tarot card with a picture of me on it?! Who the hell made this thing?” 

Kazumi sits back down and rubs the bridge of her nose, thinking deeply about what she did today but for some reason she can't remember anything before Negi gave her that spectacular kiss…not that she's complaining. She gets a pleasant shiver down her spine as she recollects how very good of a kisser Negi-sens…kun is…though it quickly reverts back into confusion at her apparent memory loss .The young `human database' unsteadily gets to her feet and leaves the bathing area in a stagger, completely forgetting about her scoop of the century. 
To be continued…

Author's notes: Welcome to chapter three: revised. Truthfully I didn't need to make too many changes to this one. The one part I changed the most was some thoughts Chamo-kun had early on regarding Evangeline. I had thought her powerful at the time I had written this but I had not realized exactly how powerful she was until volume 6 when she easily destroyed the two-faced, four-armed, giant ogre: Ryômen Sukuna No Kami. After that I had a new respect for the diminutive vampire magi and decided to have little Chamo realize just what they could be up against. Hope you enjoyed the changes! - lighthawkdemon
