OK, first of all I have to apologize to all of you who might have been looking for an update yesterday. It was a hectic day with family and such (it seems we're all just trading places in being sickly lately ^^; ), so I ended up just not managing to write enough for an update. I'm sorry. :(



Quote:
 
I felt really sad after reading this part :[ It made me think that it ain't funny at all ;-; poor Secchan ;-;

Oh, but the sad feeling disappeared after I raid this part XD since the first sentence that popped in to my mind when I raid it was "Don't feed the animals" XDDD

I can't tell you how long I've been waiting for this chapter XP You're posting the chapters when it's already night in here, so these are sort of a 'good night sleep story' for me XP
Helps me to have some nice KonoSetsu dreams when I do fall asleep XPP

I must tell you... I just keep coming back to this topic and read this part: *snip*
Over and over again! XD It's so cute 

Jessie,
Sorry about the lack of "goodnight story" yesterday. ^^;; I tend to post the updates very late at night at my end of the world, simply because it does take me all day to get that much written. Wish I could write faster though. XP
Aa, yes... there are a few little parts that might not be quite as funny, sorry about that but that is the way the story goes. Hope I won't disappoint you anyway though. *grins* Glad you liked that snippet! :D



Quote:
 
Hehehe for some reason, I can totally picture Asuna pelting apples at Setsuna... and her completely ignoring them 

Awesome work, this is very entertaining  And you got some excellent update habits, very on point haha.

Tsubasa,
*grins*Thank you for the praise! *bows* And what are a few apples to the head for Kono-chan's kisses? ;D
Btw... read your sign there... *looks around for that ugly green thing* XD


Quote:
 
Before I got to the part directly under it, this part made me think: "Oh my god! Secchan went emo! She was denied her Konoka for a few hours and she went EEEEEEMOOOOOO!"

EDIT:
I have another non-illustration demented crack image for you all, this time based off of the "DON'T MAKE ME GET THE HOSE AND TURN IT ON YOU!" line. It's only funny if you've ever seen The Silence of the Lambs. But it's disturbing no matter what!

I hope they NEVER find a cure! MWAHAHAHAHAHA!

I'm curious to see just how more daring Secchan can get. Hang upside down in the doorway to the classroom and kiss Konoka Spider-Man style?

WitchCirce,
OH MY GOD! *hugs both piccies and dance with them* :excited:
First of all you absolutely KILLED me with the Silence of the Lambs piccy. :lol: How brilliant... and how psycho Asuna looks. XD I have to agree with Dobby that it looks a wee bit as if Kono-chan and Secchan are doing about what they are in the interruptus scene in my story, though of course I'll bow to the creator in this case. ;D
Thank you also for the cute fanart piccy, love it! ^_^ Both go into my folder - oh my gosh, I have a fanart folder now! *weeps in joy*
Ahh, Emo Secchan... *ahem*
"I haven't kissed Kono-chan in 3 hours 24 minutes 9 seconds! I must commit seppuku! Farewell, cruel world that would deny me ojousama's lips..." *brings out the Deadliest Weapon Known To Man - or half-demon girls anyway - namely a picture of a semi-nude Konoka winking while in a suggestive pose* *dies from excessive nosebleed*
:D
The spiderman suggestion... heh... now that would be ideal for Kaede/Mana. Would you mind if I borrowed that sometime?



Quote:
 
Yup, they turn into either rabbits or love machines. Both have the same outsome 8DD

AND OMG! SECCHAN'S AN ANIMAL! GO SECCHAN GO! RAAWR! XDDD

You know I love this XD You better keep this up!

Dobby,
*grins* I'll try, but unfortunately the cure part is in sight here. ^^;; Maybe I'll tackle one of the other love-potion ideas though?


Quote:
 
*snerk*
Just LOVING this fic. Heh.

Shanejayell,
*huge grin* Glad to hear it! Hmm, I seem to have lost the scene where Konoka got tackled to a desk by Setsuna in class... and I just now realised it. O.O Ooops.


Quote:
 
I can't wait for the next part! Boy, I do hope Negi finds a cure. If only so Asuna can take a break, but not to soon.
While the more wild the better, and cansome one think of any reason Ayaka might not get in this nutshow?

Knightwolf1785,
Err, the next part is here now, and, um... sorry? ^~^;
Asuna needing a break? Well... I think I agree. ;P
Ahh, but Ayaka _did_ get into the nutshow... a bit. I think she'll also show up briefly a bit later, but we'll see about that.


Quote:
 
And, thanks for liking my drawing! i was hoping you would.. n_n

So it's in the kiss, ei? 
but what about the kisser?!
Anyway, nice!! Great as usual, Ryuchan! n_n

Poison_pen,
*grins madly* *starts singing "Its in her kiss, that's where it is"* XP
Hah, can you imagine Konoka letting just anyone kiss her like that? *winks*



Quote:
 
I don't know that Secchan can be very 'wild'... I just can't imagine what will she 'do' after this... 
This fanfic is very... very... AMAZING! (In a good way...)

Icha-kun,
Aww, I feel I should apologise to you kind of especially, seeing as how you managed to ask for an update several times yesterday... gomen ne. I just couldn't though, even though I tried. :(
And as for Secchan being "wild", well... there is some trace of truth in the "its always the quiet ones" thing, so with that in mind... I can quite imagine that Setsuna would be very passionate... given the right circumstances. ;D And anyway, I might just have a warped sense of humour. XD


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






Fever Days (continued)






The mad chase came to an end outside, around the back of the building, when the long string of girls giving chase – though not all of them intentionally – with Asuna at the lead chased Setsuna right past Tatsumiya Mana. Observing the chase Mana calmly grabbed Asuna as she tried to race past, demanding an explanation without actually uttering a word.

“Setsuna... spell...” Asuna gasped, getting out of the taller girl’s grip. “Need to... catch.”

Mana let the redhead go and with a smooth yet impossibly swift motion brought up a gun from wherever she managed to hide those. A single shot, and down Setsuna went like a puppet with her strings cut.

“Oh my god, you shot her!” Asuna cried in disbelief and raced over to the fallen girl. Mana merely shrugged as if to say, of course, and took care of her gun as she walked over to her combat partner. Some of the other girls caught up as well, Ayaka grabbing hold of Asuna to shake her weakly while wheezing for breath. “You...” Gasp. “...lunatic!” Cough.

With a strangely guilty and desperate expression Asuna threw up her hands and raced through a quick explanation of the situation. “...andwehavetorestrainheruntilwefindacureyousawwhatshedoeswhenevershegetsloseand...”

As Ayaka struggled with whether or not to be mollified by the explanation, not to mention just breathing for the moment, Mana checked the fallen Setsuna’s pulse and then hefted her up on one shoulder.

“...sothat’swhywedidn’tcometoyouyesterda... Hey! Where are you going with her?” Asuna realized that Mana had walked off with her friend only once the tall markswoman had managed nearly to the corner of the building.

Mana glanced at her over the shoulder that wasn’t currently occupied. “...Evangeline.”

Asuna blinked. And blinked again. “Of course!” She smacked herself in the head for her stupidity. Why hadn’t they thought of that? “Keep an eye on Setsuna please, I’ll get Negi and the others and meet up with you there!”

---

Evangeline was... not amused. Honestly, there was a limit for how far stupidity could go and retain some entertainment value, before it just became annoyance.

She smacked Negi in the back of the head, hard.

“HEY!” Asuna protested, grabbing Negi somewhat protectively and scowling at the petite vampire. Evangeline remained unimpressed, as ever.

“He had it coming.” She snorted. “How many times must I tell you magic is not a toy or something you fool around with? And how many times will someone around you accidentally have to take the brunt of your failed experiments before you wise up and do as I’ve told you, and perform your experiments somewhere only you have access to?” Evangeline crossed her arms over her chest as she chastised the guilty-looking Negi.

An eyebrow twitched and she turned away from him, not able to look at his sad expression anymore. “If you can’t find a better place you’ll just have to come here for your work.” Just so that no-one would mistakenly think that she had gotten soft she added with a sneer. “Who stores Cupido Primus in a regular glass standing in the open, anyway? You’ve got no sense at all, boy.”

“And you!” She rounded on Asuna and Konoka, of whom Asuna gulped but Konoka was oblivious, tending to her fallen warrior as she was. “You should have come to me right away! Honestly, I thought you knew better than this.”

Finally having vented enough Evangeline turned her attention away from the sheepish redheads and back to the pale girl lying on Evangeline’s couch. “You just keep getting yourself in these situations, kid...” She muttered softly, absently patting Setsuna’s head as she concentrated, eyes glowing slightly, on something invisible to mere human eyes.

She clucked softly under her breath. “Poor kid...”

“Can you help her, Eva-chan? Please?” Konoka pleaded, eyes trusting and sincere to the point they made the imperious vampire look away and cough slightly to cover up getting embarrassed by the Konoe heiress.

“Yes, of course.” A slightly evil look crossed her child-like features briefly. “We’ll just have to... burn it out of her system, and everything will be fine.”

Those present breathed a sigh of relief, then Asuna started, eyes wide. “Wait... how exactly are we going to do that?”

The evil smirk widened. “How do ya think, airhead? How do people usually get rid of that kind of... urge?” She laughed at the suddenly furiously blushing and horrified faces turned her way. “I’ll explain that to you more in detail if you want, but the boy would have to leave the room first.”

Glancing at the blushing brunette that was holding onto a pale hand seemingly without noticing it herself, Evangeline grinned and turned toward Mana. “So are you up to the job, Tatsumiya? Think of it as a life-saving assignment if you want, because she sure isn’t going to be able to take much more of this.”

“WHAT? NO!” Konoka gasped and pulled the sleeping girl into her arms possessively. “No, you can’t!”

At Evangeline’s smile and raised eyebrow Konoka blushed further and stuttered. “Secchan is... that is... we are... she...” That eyebrow hiked up higher, causing Konoka to get a bit frantic. “Secchan is my Secchan and we belong together! I can’t let anyone else... I won’t!” There were tears in Konoka’s eyes.

“Oho?” Evangeline leaned towards Konoka and gave her a particularly evil look. “Does that mean that you are volunteering?”

“YES!” Konoka’s blush deepened drastically, to levels previously only seen on her fair-skinned companion. “I-I-I w-will do it!”

Evangeline’s smile gentled and she put a hand on the teary-eyed girl’s head in a for her unusually soothing gesture. “Relax, calm down... I didn’t say that was the only way to cure her, did I? So don’t worry.”

She gave Konoka an intense look that revealed as few other things could that despite her appearance Evangeline was a very old creature with an understanding of the world and human nature that these children would never have. “But remember this, these feelings you have right now and the decision you made. Remember it well.”

“Now step aside.” Waving the rattled girl aside Evangeline placed herself by Setsuna’s side and chanted the key to unleash her power. Another chanted sentence and blue flames erupted from Setsuna’s body, the eldritch fire roaring high to the sound of Evangeline’s strangely echoing voice while Setsuna’s body shook and bucked as if electrocuted.

Asuna had to hold Konoka back as the procedure continued for a long time until finally the flames died out and Evangeline closed her eyes and exhaled deeply. She waved the girls away as they darted forward to check the still sleeping girl, needing space to repeat her previous eye-glowing inspection. Finally she nodded, apparently satisfied, and moved aside to let Konoka and Asuna fuss over the girl.

“She’ll be fine,” Evangeline assured them as she sank down into her settee. “she’ll sleep for a long time, probably, and she’ll be a bit weak for a few days, but that’s it.” A low chuckle and a look in Mana’s direction. “She might smart a bit from where that stun bullet hit her, though.”

“Setsuna will forgive me.” Mana sounded calm and unlike Konoka and Asuna she was not fussing over her prone friend, but her eyes were scanning Setsuna’s form over and over, making sure all was well in her own way. A brief, uncharacteristic moment of hesitation followed. “Although... perhaps Konoka-ojousama would be kind enough to...”

Konoka nodded instantly and pressed her lips to Setsuna’s surprisingly chastely considering recent events, concentrating on letting her power flow into her precious one for a moment.

“You really shouldn’t be doing that left and right until you’ve learned a bit more control over your powers, you know.” Evangeline said softly, trying not to sound too critical or for that matter too tired. “But I’ll approve of it in this case.” She waved her hand nonchalantly. “Chachamaru.”

“Yes Master.” The artificial girl was by her master’s side instantly, head tilted in polite enquiry as she awaited her orders.

“Help them get Sakurazaki back to the dorms, then come home and make me some tea.” As Chachamaru complied, effortlessly lifting Setsuna and heading for the door with Konoka and the others scurrying to bow deeply to Evangeline in thanks before hurrying after them, Evangeline leaned back into her chair.

“Thank you so much Eva-chan!” “Thank you Evangeline-san!” “Thanks, fang-girl!”

Evangeline glared briefly at Asuna’s far too insolent way of thanking her, but ignored it... for now... to instead give Konoka some last piece of advice. “You might want to keep an eye on her for a couple of days, to make sure she doesn’t strain herself before she’s recovered.”

Another round of bows and thanks and then the guests disappeared as quickly and suddenly as they had showed up, leaving Evangeline to sigh tiredly and close her eyes.

“Accursed... curse.” She muttered peevishly, making herself more comfortable in the soft cushions. “Getting worn out doing just any little thing, it’s pathetic.” A nap would be nice, yes that was a very good idea, as long as the children didn’t see her needing a nap from that little exertion. Evangeline let herself relax... she would rest for a little while, just until Chachamaru had made her tea...

What, Eva vamp one of the Negima kids? Naw... then she'd have to socialize with them forever, after all. XP Besides, Chachamaru's tea is all she needs. ;P

Hahahaa~!! Oh man that was awesome; just awesome. And Asuna surely is master of the obvious.

Also, Konoka denying anyone else the... privilege ( :sweat: ) of "curing" Setsuna was funny as hell.

I look forward to seeing how Setsuna reacts to her previous behavior! :dance:

Also, thanks for the well-wishes, the same to you. *sighs* Everyone is sickly at the moment and DARN IT ALL I think I'm heading towards another bout with the flu or something, myself. )X

Heey, fan person! *cheers and waves* Ah no, the story isn't quite over yet, of course. :P Secchan hasn't had to face up to her repeated mauling of her adored ojousama yet, after all... so it can't be done, ne? ;P

Knightwolf1785,
So basically you're saying I shouldn't just... end it here? *grins* No, no, just kidding, here's another update.


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






Fever Days (continued)






At the dorms Konoka vetoed the notion of putting Setsuna in her own dorm room, instead convincing Chachamaru – who didn’t care either way as Master had not specified and both locale had suitable resting space for her temporary charge – to carry Setsuna over to the room shared by Konoka, Asuna and Negi. Asuna did not exactly protest, but she did eye Konoka with some curiosity until they were at the room and Chachamaru gently disposed of her burden and bid a polite goodbye before striding off towards a distant tea kettle.

“So...” Asuna began carefully, watching her friend begin to unbutton the unconscious girl’s clothes. “You had Chachamaru put Setsuna in your bed.”

“Yes?” Konoka didn’t quite get what Asuna was trying to say, and anyway who would have thought the clasps and buttons on the school uniform were quite so tricky from the outside? “I need to keep her close so I can take care of her, Asuna.”

“Right, right, of course.” Asuna muttered, lending a hand to the clothes issue. “I was just wondering, well, where will you sleep?”

“Here, of course.” Pointing at the bed. “Where else would I be sleeping?”

“Err... you’re going to sleep with Setsuna?” Even after all that’s happened? Asuna muttered under her breath, but managed to keep quiet enough that Konoka did not hear her.

“Well... yes.” Big brown eyes blinked at Asuna. “We can fit if we squeeze in a little. You sleep with Negi-kun just fine.”

“That’s... not what I... meant...” Asuna decided to give up, and just added a warning in a playful tone of voice. “Fine! But I don’t want to wake up to any funny stuff going on in here again, okay?”

To Asuna’s surprise Konoka’s shoulders sagged in response to the joke. Worried about her friend Asuna forgot about the shirt she had just helped remove and turned to try to catch Konoka’s eyes. “Hey... what’s wrong?”

“I-I... don’t think you need to worry about that anymore, Asuna.” Apart from the quiver on the beginning of the sentence Konoka sounded almost cheerful like usual and she was wearing a sunny smile, but somehow looking at her Asuna got the impression that this cheerful mask was terribly strained, and that there were tears in dark brown eyes. “Secchan is cured now, so she won’t... she... isn’t...”

Konoka trailed off a bit painfully and Asuna couldn’t help but to pull her friend in for a hug. “Gosh Konoka, I’m sorry... I never realized you really liked Setsuna like that.” She murmured, feeling sorry for her friend now that she knew. Yes she had known Konoka loved her childhood friend dearly, but somehow it hadn’t occurred to Asuna that it might be in the romantic sense of the word.

Konoka opened her mouth to say something in reply, but whatever it was it got cut off as the door opened and Mana and Negi came in, Mana carrying an armload of items brought from Setsuna’s room and Negi with food and drink from the cafeteria. It had gotten rather late while everything was happening, and none of them had actually had the opportunity to eat.

Mana looked at the still embracing girls with a strange expression, frowning slightly. A few quick steps into the room and suddenly Mana squeezed herself down between Konoka and Asuna, making Asuna all but roll sideways to get out of the way. Then for some reason Asuna found herself being handed the rest of Setsuna’s belongings while Mana kept the set of pyjamas she was asked to bring.

“Allow me to help, Konoka-ojousama.” Mana said, swiftly stripping what was left of Setsuna’s clothing while the dumbfounded Asuna gaped at her and Konoka merely blinked. “I have done this before.”

The last statement did not sit well with Konoka, not well at all. Suddenly brown eyes narrowed dangerously at the taller girl that was preoccupied bunching up the pyjama shirt in her hands, a decidedly jealous gleam darkening them. “Oh? What do you mean, Tatsumiya-san?”

Mana looked a bit surprised at the question. “Not even a warrior as skilled as Setsuna can escape injury in battle all the time, Konoka-ojousama.”

Konoka had the decency to blush and look apologetic at the reply. “I... I thank you, Tatsumiya-san. I am glad you have been there for Secchan all this while.”

“She has done the same for me.”

And so the apologetic mood was short-lived, replaced again by a strange, dark look that was so unfamiliar to Konoka’s usually so sweet and gentle features. “You mean... she has seen you naked and you have seen her?”

Mana considered the question, not having quite thought of it in that context before. “...yes. That is true.” She shrugged and pulled up a pyjama leg. “A wounded warrior can’t afford to cling to maidenly modesty... and we are friends.”

The brunette that tenderly tucked the blanket around Setsuna once Mana was finished with her dressing said nothing more on the subject, but the expression on her face – except for when looking directly at her Secchan – grew even more strange.

“You’ve been acting really weird lately, Konoka...” Asuna whispered to herself, shaking her head at her friend but choosing not to confront her with it. She knew Konoka was hurting because of her feelings for Setsuna, so it was probably that which made some things seem strange about her friend, besides Asuna didn’t want to upset her further.

“Thank you for all your help, Mana-san... really.” Asuna said as the tall gunslinger stood, briefly brushing off her pants. “Where are you off to now?”

“I am going out on patrol, since it will take longer without Setsuna joining me.” Guessing at what Asuna and Negi were about to say she forestalled them. “I will ask if Chachamaru might join me in case I need backup, but I am fairly confident that I will do fine on my own.” She looked at Asuna oddly. “And you, Asuna-san?”

This one and that one, Asuna thought, everyone is acting weird tonight. Out loud she said “Oh Negi and I are heading over to Ayaka now, I promised earlier we’d fill her in and kind of make up for standing her up yesterday.”

“But Asuna-san, our food...” Negi protested, looking towards the kitchen.

“We’ll eat with Ayaka tonight, don’t worry.” Asuna gave him a light push towards the door before turning towards Konoka. “Will you be alright by yourself though? Make sure you eat and get some rest, if Eva-chan is right Setsuna won’t wake up today anyway so you might as well.”

Konoka nodded and saw the others to the door, assuring them that she and Setsuna would be alright on their own.

“Summon me at any sign of trouble, Konoka-ojousama.”

“If you need us to come home sooner, just give a call to Ayaka’s phone, okay?”

“Are you sure you will be alright on your own?”

The last part was a concerned question from Negi, and she smiled to the boy and ruffled his hair a little. “I’m sure Negi-kun, Asuna. See you later. And Tatsumiya-san, I will if there’s any kind of trouble.”

Finally they all left, and with a sigh Konoka walked back to the bed and lay down, carefully holding her Secchan and watching over her. She smoothed black hair away from those delicate features several times before finally giving in and laying her head down on a slender shoulder, listening to the steady beat of Setsuna’s heart underneath her ear, lulling Konoka to sleep.

---

The next time Konoka opened her eyes it was already night and the room thrown into darkness, suggesting that her roommates were already home and sleeping in the bed above her. Carefully and reluctantly she freed herself from the warm body she had been snuggled up with and got out of bed, torn between the need to lay down again and cuddle with Secchan and the need to change into her pyjamas and brush her teeth. It was a hard decision for her sleep-fogged mind but the latter won out, Konoka promising herself that she would get to cuddle her warrior as soon as the other things were finished. However as she sat out to do these things her growling stomach threw a wrench in things.

Still not quite awake Konoka prepared a cup of instant clear soup and managed to nudge her Secchan awake just enough to get her to swallow some before downing what was left herself, afterwards putting the cup on the floor next to the bed somewhat carelessly and crawled in under the covers. It hit her that there was something she had forgotten to do, but when her Secchan pulled her arms around the already semi-sleeping Konoka nothing else mattered. She curled in tightly, content and relaxed, and let sleep reclaim her.

Asuna of course stepped on the cup as she got out of bed that morning, somehow avoiding breaking it but almost managing to break her own elbow instead. The peevish glare she directed at the obvious culprit was immediately dissolved, as the sight of her friends curled up in each other’s arms and holding hands even in their sleep was just too cute to remain irritated. She leaned against the bedpost watching them for a moment.

She wondered what it felt like, to have someone that would hold you like that... what it was like to have someone in your life that gave you that peaceful and happy expression that Konoka wore as she slept with her head on Setsuna’s shoulder. Would Asuna ever know for herself?

“You’re so darn cute I’ll just forgive you for making me have to explain all this mess to Ayaka.” Asuna muttered very quietly, actually somewhat amused about it today although the previous night she had been deadly embarrassed. Ayaka’s reaction had also been embarrassed, and a bit strange really, but she had not been condemning in any way, rather the reverse and offered her assistance with the rest of the class.

For some reason looking at the sleeping couple Asuna tried to picture herself in that position, sleeping on someone’s shoulder all cuddly like that... and the image of a hand with slender long fingers holding her own, draped by long golden blonde hair came to mind.

Asuna blushed furiously. Looking at Konoka and Setsuna and thinking of cuddling brought Ayaka to mind? Oh god, why?

Resolutely she shook her head and sought a distraction. Oh yes, breakfast. After such eventful days Asuna felt sure her friends could do with a nice big and proper breakfast. And she was just the girl for the job!

With determination and shoulders squared as if going into battle, Asuna hiked up her sleeves and strode into the kitchen.

OH MY GOD WE ARE ALL GONNA DIE D8

If she doesn't blow up the kitchen before she finishes cooking. There must be some sort of restraining order on Asuna from the kitchens she's damaged before XDDDDD

Anyways, great update as always and keep this up C:
