Sasaki Makie sat in utter confusion as her classmates suddenly crowded around her and started asking questions to fast for a normal human to understand. But that wasn't why she was confused. She was confused because she could understand what they were saying and even make out who was saying what.
"How did you end up passing?" came from Narutaki Fumika.
"I bet you cheated didn't you?" was said by the former girl's older sister, Narutaki Fuuka.
Idly Makie noticed that not all the class was bombarding her with questions. Chisame was looking away from the scene with apparent disgust, while Setsuna looked away with plain disinterest. Mana was watching with a bit of amusement. Zazie and Chachamaru were just sitting there showing no emotion what so ever. It's kind of funny that when you're in one of these questioning mobs you never notice who's not in it.
"Did you sneak into the library and steal the book of infinite knowledge that you and the other Baka Rangers used for the exams?" asked Kugimiya Madoka.
"Is that why you've really been going? To steal the book and return it?" Ako questioned.
She realized that the white misty thing she noticed when she was fighting Kaede was still here. Why was she fighting Kaede anyway? It's not like she was going to do anything that no one else in the class has already done, right? So why should she get all worked up about it? Maybe it was her just getting possessive. She was the only one to actually kiss him after all.
"I bet you bribed Negi-sensei into passing you by giving him sexual favors."
"What!?" Negi, Makie, and the rest of the questioners shouted as they turned to the one who asked the previous question. That person being Saotome 'Paru' Haruna.
"This can't be happening. I, Yukihiro Ayaka, the class representative of room 3-A will not allow it. Sasaki Makie, you will cease this corruption of Negi-sensei at once." Ayaka ranted.
"When did we decide that? Aren't we supposed to vote on our class rep?" Chisame muttered unnoticed in the background.
"Stop speaking crazy talk, Iincho! How can you even think Negi-bouzo and Maki-san would be doing something like that, especially without me or Konoka knowing!?" Asuna shout as she hit Ayaka in the back of the head.
"I think that, because a stupid monkey like you would probably encourage it!" Ayaka replied as she delivered a retaliation strike.
"Either way you can't deny that Maki-san has been sneaking into you room at night, Asuna." Ayase Yue remarked.
"Wh-What are you talking about!? How would you know?" Asuna questioned, a little startled that someone knew Makie kept showing up in her room.
"You've woken me up twice now with your screaming at her in the mornings. Sexual favors or not, you can't deny that she was sneaking into your room for the past few nights." Yue explained/reprimanded.
Before the conversation could continue the bell rang, signaling the end of classes for the day. As the class started migrating out of the room, Makie was looking for a certain classmate. She was thinking about it a lot, for a Baka Ranger anyway, and decided it was probably the best thing she could do right now.
With that thought, Makie left to find her quarry.
Lingshen Chao was busy getting ready for her shift at the restaurant that she co-owned with Yotsuba Satsuki, The Chao Bao Zi. The genius girl often wondered how she was able to make the time to work actual shifts at the restaurant. Out of all the girls in class 3-A, she was by far the girl with the most club activities. She was a member of the Robotics Engineering Club and Chinese Martial Arts Research Society to name a few.
So caught up in her musings, she didn't notice when another entered the room. Nor did she notice when the person came right up to her.
"Um, Chao-san?" came the voice from behind her.
"Eh!?" Chao exclaimed as she turned around, a little startled. She was not scared, nor surprised that someone managed to get so close to her with out her knowing. Nope defiantly not scared nor surprised.
"Eh, hi." Asked the girl, who Chao now recognized as one of her classmates, Sasaki Makie.
"Makie-san? What are you doing here, yo?" Chao asked the pink haired intruder.
"I came here, because I wanted to ask you something." The girl replied.
"Ask away, yo." Chao responded. She was curious as to what the gymnast would want from her. The Chinese girl certainly hoped she wasn't getting asked to join the Rhythmic Gymnastics team. It's not that she hated the sport, but she was in enough clubs as it is. You'd think after all these years; random people would stop asking her to join their clubs.
"Could you, please teach me how to fight?" Makie spoke so fast that it took a few seconds to decipher what she said.
"I don't see why not, just one question. Why, yo?" Chao asked.
"Well, you heard about what happened to me didn't you?" Makie asked.
"You mean that incident at Sakura Lane? That's all the class could talk about the day we found out, yo." Chao responded.
"Well, I've been thinking about that and I thought that if maybe, if I knew how to defend myself, it wouldn't have happened." Makie replied with a bit of guilty coming into her voice.
"You shouldn't blame yourself, yo. How were you supposed to know you were going to be attacked?" Chao said to try and comfort the girl.
"B-but what if it wasn't Eva-san who attacked me!? What if it was some sort of pervert!?" Makie said on the verge of tears.
Eva-san? Does she mean Evangeline from our class? Why would she attack Makie? Maybe Eva-san is the vampire from my old man's stories? I really wish he wasn't so vague sometimes.
"I'll help you, yo." Chao told the crying girl.
"R-Really!? Thank you, Chao-san!" Makie replied, instantly cheering up. Was she just faking to get sympathy?
"Put this on, yo." Chao said as she tossed something at Makie.
"Ok!" Makie replied as she quickly got dressed. It wasn't until after she was fully clothed did she realize that she was wearing a waitress uniform for the Chao Bao Zi.
"You didn't think I'd help you for free did you?" Chao responded to Makie's questioning gaze.
AN: Oh good lords I'm sorry for such a long gap in updates. I got grounded for qualifying to be a new Baka Ranger. My parents banned me from using the computer except for school work, but because I have so many loyal fans reading my stories I managed to convince them to let me use it for 2 hours on Fridays and three hours on Saturdays and Sundays. I'm subscribed to a lot of stories so by the time I've finished reading the new chapters for the week, I only have an hour left to work on my stories each week.
I didn't get that many reviews last chapter. I'm guessing because I mentioned that cameo and you people didn't like the idea, so I'm not going to do it.
As for Makie's slip up. Being a vampire may have made her smarter, but she's still Makie. I feel like I should point out that I wanted to add a little telepathic conversation between Makie and Negi, but I realized that Makie doesn't how to use her magic so she wouldn't be able to activate the spell for it.
We should all know that Chao is from the future. If you don't, why the hell are you reading this instead of the Manga? I kind of figured that someone would have told her stories of her ancestors. So I'm having her know what's going on, but not who's involved in it. My biggest concern for her is getting her speech patterns correct.
Today's rant is Albero, at least I think that's how you spell his name. I've not read the manga in sometime do to reasons listed above.
It's not so much him as it is his guard Wyvern. I'm mean; Yue even said that Albero's home wasn't that far from where they fell to during the Library incident. So wouldn't have attacked them for getting so close to its master's territory? One of the girls should have at least spotted the thing.
Time to respond to the Reviews
omegarulesall: I guessing this wasn't as soon as you would have liked.
The PhantomHokage: I did want you to write more, it was just that I didn't expect you to write that much so soon. Makie will be learning magic eventually, but for now, due to her current lack of knowledge on magic, she'll be sticking to martial arts.
