Disclaimer: I own none of the characters from Negima, I’m just borrowing them for awhile. This story also has spoilers for the Chao war plot line and beyond in the Negima manga. Negima: Upgrade Chisame Hasegawa scowled as the redhead stomped towards her room, her round glasses gleaming. Normally she would have been eagerly going home, plotting the further activities of her online persona Chiu, but lately she had been feeling strangely dissatisfied with it all. ‘It was that damn pactio,’ Chisame silently admitted to herself as she walked towards her personal computer. In the middle of the conflict with Chao she had formed a contract with Negi, getting a magical artifact that assisted her in fighting the war in cyberspace. Using the modified baton Chisame could travel into cyberspace in her Chiu persona, even bringing others in with her, and there she could program with incredible speed and skill. “Of course, that’s the problem now,” Chisame murmured as she sat in front of the keyboard, not even changing to her Chiu guise. Since gaining her artifact she had become so good it wasn’t a challenge to manipulate the web, in fact her site was the most popular one among all net idols. Literally, there was nothing left for her to do. The sound of knocking on her door made Chisame frown even more fiercely as she got up. “What?” she demanded as she flung open the door, only to freeze. The young woman standing there in the hall looked familiar, but oddly different as well. Short green hair fell down to her shoulders, and odd, rounded metallic ears stuck out from each side of her head as she struggled with a slightly overlarge dress, her blue eyes as open and innocent looking as ever. “Chachamaru?” Chisame blinked. “Chisame,” Chachamaru nodded, “I was hoping to find you here. I need your assistance with something.” “What happened to you?” Chisame asked as she waved her friend inside. Of course, she would never admit to considering her a friend, but the android girl had surprisingly become quite close to her. Chachamaru followed her in, smiling slightly, “Mistress Hakase is upgrading my usual body, so she put my core programs into this one.” She tugged at her oversized clothes, “However, she forgot to prepare clothing for me.” “I should have something in my cosplay gear that will fit you,” Chisame said while trying to hide her amusement at how cute the new Chachamaru looked, almost like a child wearing her parent’s clothes. “Exactly why I came here,” Chachamaru agreed. Swinging her closet open Chisame was faintly surprised at how nice it felt, having Chachamaru needing her help. “What sort of clothes would you like?” she asked, turning with several variations on school girl uniforms in her hands only to freeze in surprise. Chachamaru calmly finished stripping, revealing a body far less doll like than her old one. “A uniform would be fine,” she said calmly. “Right,” Chisame managed, gulping. “You’re new body,” she said as she picked out a uniform that would be roughly Chachamaru’s new size, “it’s much more human looking than your old one.” “Yes,” Chachamaru agreed as she took the clothes from her, “Mistress Hakase even designed my new body for sex.” “What?!” Chisame gazed at Chachamaru in surprise. Chachamaru calmly got dressed as she said, “Apparently, Mistress feels I should be prepared, assuming my relationship with Negi progresses far enough.” Chisame rolled her eyes, “Would all of you idiots get it through your heads he’s a ten year old?!” She waved her hands, “There are far more appropriate people to be fixating on!” “Indeed?” Chachamaru dressed with simple grace, only having a bit of trouble with her newly redesigned ear-antenna. “Here,” Chisame helped her, getting the shirt over the ear-antenna with a certain amount of care, “is that better?” “Much, thank you,” Chachamaru bowed slightly. “Heh,” Chisame smiled slightly. “What are you doing?” Chachamaru asked curiously, looking around Chisame’s room. With a bit of embarrassment Chisame admitted, “I was going to work on my site for awhile, but I don’t really feel like it.” “I understand Mistress Evangeline is having a informal meeting with Negi-sensei and his comrades,” Chachamaru noted, “why don’t you come?” “Oh no, I don’t want to hang out with those crazies!” Chisame protested. Chachamaru blushed faintly, “Chisame, this will be the first time they’ll see my new body.” She hesitated as she confessed, “I’m nervous.” “No one would say anything,” Chisame reassured her. “Maybe, but...” Chachamaru shrugged, “could you please come along?” Chisame scratched the back of her head and sighed. “All right,” she gave in, “I’ll go.” Chachamaru took her hands and smiled, “Thank you.” 0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0 Evangeline’s resort made Chisame’s head hurt, honestly. In the basement of Evangeline’s home, it looked like a model of a tower in a glass globe, but if you stood in the right place you were transported inside. Within the tower, it was always summer and sunny, with much more room inside than one would have expected. Even better, time ran differently within the resort, so that when a hour passed in the real world, a day passed inside it. Making things even crazier, Evangeline had recently expanded it to six globes, the original resort and five new enviroments, interconnected. A castle, jungle, arctic and desert world, each reachable via warp gates in each globe. It completely defied the laws of physics and common sense, all of which made Chisane’s head pound. Thankfully, the arrival of Chachamaru to the party went well, with Negi exclaiming how cute she was and the others following up. Ku Fei seemed complimented by the similarity in their looks, Nodoka and Yue said she was adorable and Kotaru seemed impressed by how tough she was. Evangeline herself nodded approvingly before adding, “It’s not bad, but I can’t wait till the old you is back.” “Doesn’t that upset you?” Chisame asked later, the two sitting at tables in the outdoor café in Evangeline’s castle. Below them a waterfall rumbled softly, liquid falling endlessly to the bottom of the globe. “No,” Chachamaru shook her head, “Evangeline merely prefers I look the same.” She looked thoughtful, “I think she is comforted, being a immortal and having someone mostly unchanging like me around.” “Hadn’t thought of that,” Chisame admitted. “You’re pretty perceptive, dealing with Evangeline and the rest of us.” “Oh?” Chachamaru asked. “You certainly pegged me quickly for being intrigued by magic and our teacher, Negi,” Chisame admitted as she stirred then drank from her cup of tea. ‘How can there be birds flying by if this is a closed enviroment?’ she wondered as she watched them soar by, ‘There’s nowhere for them to fly to.’ “I don’t think you would have joined us after the martial arts tournament if you hadn’t been interested,” Chachamaru noted. “Well, yeah,” Chisame looked away, blushing. While watching the martial arts tournament Chisame had found herself shocked again and again by the special skills and abilities that the fighters had displayed. Not just Negi, but ninjas, shadow users and others had appeared, each one making her lose her faith in the ordinary. That, along with the spreading virus of magic on the internet lead Chisame to begin to believe in magic, along with a few conversations with Chachamaru. Chisame sweatdropped a bit, “Thank you for being so patient with me in this.” “It’s been my pleasure,” Chachamaru answered calmly. She paused, “It’s been nice, making a new friend.” ‘Friends, she sees it too?’ Chisame sighed mentally, ‘I guess I’m just going to have to accept it.’ Aloud she said, “It’s been interesting, I have to confess.” “How is it, dealing with Ayaka and Makie?” Chachamaru asked, a spark of amusement in her eyes. Chisame groaned as Chachamaru actually chuckled. The two ladies had been assisted by Chisame in the costume contest, then later had helped Chiu battled in cyberspace and as a side effect both girls had become determined to bring Chisame out of her shell, so to speak. To say it was aggravating was a understatement. “I’m hoping if I ignore them they’ll just go away,” Chisame sighed. Chachamaru looked sympathetic, “I could try to put them off you, somehow. I know when rumors about Mistress Evangeline and I circulated, people left us alone.” “Rumors about you two...” Chisame blinked, then flushed as she realized what she meant. “Well, if you were calling her mistress in class, I can see why people were nervous.” “I didn’t understand the connotations till later,” Chachamaru admitted wryly. ‘She’s so innocent at times,’ Chisame mused, ‘yet worldly too. It was charming, in a odd sort of way.’ She paused a moment, ‘What am I thinking, charming?’ “Would you like something to drink?” one of the Chacha robot pototypes asked, carrying a tray with various beverages. “More tea, please,” Chachamaru smiled. “And some cookies too,” Chisame added. She looked over at Chachamaru, watching the graceful girl who sat across from her. Most people, she wouldn’t willingly spend ten minutes chatting with, but Chachamaru seemed to easily charm her. ‘Wish I understood why she liked to be around me, too,’ she mused. “Because you’re not afraid of me,” Chachamaru answered honestly. “I said that last bit aloud?” Chisame blinked. “Afraid so,” Chachamaru gave her a gentle smile. Chisame reached out to put her hand over Chachamaru’s. “You’re one of the kindest people I know,” she said. Chachamaru was a bit surprised by the gesture but smiled. “I’m also the one a third of the class saw beat Negi severely,” she noted, “and word got around. That’s not the sort of thing people forget.” “Then they’re fools,” Chisame said fiercely. “Thank you, Chisame,” Chachamaru smiled brightly. Once again, Chisame felt a uncomfortable stirring in her chest. ‘Yeah, there’s more appropriate people than a ten year old to be focusing on,’ she silently mused, ‘and it looks like I’ve found one.’ End...? Notes: Chachamaru and Chisame have a very interesting character arc in the Negima manga, becoming near friends then adversaries in the whole Chao story line. I rather liked how Chisame enjoyed teasing Chachamaru, and the odd connection they forged. |

*bump* Further 'upgrade' related ficlets in the Negima universe. Notes: I’m juggling around some of the events of the Negima manga, sorry. Consider this an AU if you like... Negima: Upgrade Two Changes... yeah, Asuna Kagurazaka knew a lot about them. Over the past few months she had felt like she was on a roller coaster with everything she was going through... first she made the pactio with Negi and got her magic dispelling harisen, then learned magic cancel was a innate ability of hers, found out she had the same fighting skills as Takahata-sensei AND had flashes of memory implying she had met Nagi Springfield and friends. “Asuna!” Setsuna Sakurazaki called cheerfully as the black haired samurai in a modest swimsuit watched Asuna practice, the environment around them resembling a hot summer beach. Within the resort belonging to Evangeline they could practice fighting all day, while only a hour passed in the real world. Leaping Asuna swung her massive sword at the wall, eyes narrowed as the orange haired girl cleaved through it like a hot knife through butter. With a satisfied smile the bikini clad girl walked to Setsuna’s side, “Hello, Setsuna. How’s it going?” “Konoka and I brought some lunch,” Setsuna smiled back at her friend, “that was very well done, by the way.” Asuna shrugged as she let her sword disappear, “Just trying to get used to using the sword and the kankaho technique at the same time.” ‘Kankaho’ was a powerful fighting mode, developed by one of the allies of Nagi Springfield. By combining magical energies with a fighter’s Chi, the user could generate periods of immense speed and strength. The difficulty was in balancing the energies so you didn’t hurt yourself or explode... “You seemed quite capable at the tournament,” Setsuna noted as they walked along the beach towards the trees. Asuna grinned, “Yeah, but at the time I never had the chance to think about it, I just went with the flow.” “Ah,” Setsuna nodded in agreement. “Asuna, Set-chan!” Konoka Konoe waved from where she was setting up lunch, her long black hair flowing around her. Unlike Setsuna she wore a racy two piece swimsuit that hugged her body, making her seem more mature than she was. ‘Poor Setsuna,’ Asuna thought as she saw the samurai blush, unsure where to look at Konoka without letting her desire show through. Just then Konoka gave Asuna a impish wink. “Would you like some tea?” she asked Setsuna, bending over to grab the jug and making her cleavage more visible. Setsuna gulped, her cheeks going red as she stammered, ‘Of course.” Deciding to take some of the heat off Setsuna Asuna asked, “Did you pack those sandwiches I like?” “Sure,” Konoka turned, not incidentally flashing Setsuna with her partially revealed ass. “Konoka,” Asuna scolded her softly. Konoka shook her head with a smile, though she did relent on teasing Setsuna. “I just finished a training session with Evangeline,” she reported as she settled down beside Setsuna, “and Set-chan fought Chachamaru.” “How’d you do?” Asuna asked curiously. After weeks of training she could hold her own against the android, but just barely. “Managed to pin her,” Setsuna admitted. “It was SO cool!” Konoka gushed happily, “They fought in the sky and Set-chan looked just like a angel!” “Konoka,” Setsuna blushed. “Way to go,” a smiling Asuna patted her on the shoulder as she began to eat her lunch. ‘I don’t pin her,’ the thought a bit enviously. Still, Setsuna had been doing this sort of thing a lot longer than she had. “Here, Set-chan,” Konoka speared a sausage, “open wide!” “Ahh,” Setsuna opened obediently and Konoka cutely popped the food into her mouth. ‘That is just too cute,’ Asuna found herself thinking irritably. Speaking of changes, she supposed Setsuna and Konoka had been through quite a few too. Just from what little she knew they had been child hood friends, broke up, Setsuna went off and trained for years, met up as mistress and bodyguard and only recently got back to being close friends again. And now Asuna found herself feeling just a bit left out of it all. It wasn’t that she wanted her friend Konoka to be apart from her childhood crush, but for the whole time they were roommates it had just been her and Konoka. Now she was second in Konoka’s life, and it felt a little... bittersweet. “So, are we getting everyone together for dinner?” Asuna wondered. “Yeah, sort of a informal meeting of our new Crimson Wing,” Konoka agreed. Setsuna drank some tea, still blushing faintly. “And I understand that Chachamaru 2.0 will be making her debut.” “Huh?” Asuna blinked. “As she was leaving, Chachamaru told me that Hikase planned a major upgrade,” Setsuna explained. “I hope that mad scientist doesn’t do anything too extreme,” Asuna sighed. 0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0 Chachamaru’s new look was a bit surprising, but Asuna thought everyone handled it pretty well. She looked much more human, if smaller and cuter, and everyone commented on how good she looked. Oddly she was accompanied by Chisame, the redhead hovering protectively by her friend. “Well, isn’t that interesting,” Kazumi Asakura noted, the brown haired class reporter looking on interestedly as Chisame and Chachamaru talked together. “Do you think something is developing there?” she wondered. “Don’t get strange ideas,” Asuna advised. “Where’s the fun in that?” Konoka chuckled. “Chisame acts different around Chachamaru,” Fu Kei noted, the dusky skinned blonde eating her food cheerfully. “She does have a point,” Setsuna noted. She smiled slightly as she said, “Chisame certainly seems more outgoing with her.” “Hmph,” Evangeline frowned, the ten year old blonde looking annoyed. Well, physically she was ten, Asuna had no idea how old she really was... Changing the subject Konoka looked at Asuna and winked, “How’s the training under Evangeline going?” Asuna rolled her eyes as she growled, “I thought I was going to die when she dumped me in that sub zero environment!” “You needed to toughen up,” Evangeline noted with some amusement. She grinned, “And you have to admit you’re tougher for it.” “Maybe,” Asuna reluctantly conceded. “And what’s with calling me a mid-level evil boss?” she demanded. “I’m your master,” Evangeline gave her a dangerous look as she purred, “I can call you whatever I want.” Konoka laughed softly as she noted, “I thought the gothic lolita outfit she made you wear was cute.” “Lolita?” Kazumi noted. “It was SO embarrassing,” Asuna winced. “Are you criticizing my taste?” Evangeline asked. “Hell yes, you stupid vampire,” Asuna said firmly. “Why you...” Evangeline sputtered. “And there they go again,” Konoka murmured as Asuna and Evangeline bickered. “Well, at least with Asuna’s magic cancelling ability they’re pretty evenly matched,” Setsuna noted as things quickly deteriorated. “Why you little...” Asuna smacked her with her paper fan. “Overgrown...,” Evangeline yanked her hair then head butted her. “You know, they really remind me of a old married couple,” Kazumi smirked. “WE ARE NOT!” Both Asuna and Evangeline stopped to protest indignantly.
