Cry Wolf

Quote:
 
The now beastlike Kotaro cracked his massive hairy fists together as he stalked towards Negi through the battlefield.

"Man to man this time, Negi, " he growled. "Fair and square, like any good rumble should be!"

"Y-Yeah, and to make it fair, you had to change into a monster twice as tall as my Bro here, d-didn't you?-!" Chamo accused, half-hidden behind Negi's right shoulder.

"Shaddap!" Kotaro barked, making the ermine cower down. "There's nothing wrong to fight to your very best, as long as it's your own! Now your girlfriends are too busy to pull your fat outta the fire, it's time to prove how good you are without them, Negi!"

"— activate the Contract for 10 seconds... for Negi Springfield!" Negi was hissing while that was going on, holding his copy of Chisame's card near his face, and magical power crackled around him and his staff.

"Bro, be careful!" Chamo cried. "You could burn yourself out!"

Kotaro sniffed disdainfully. "Oh, I recognize that. A wiseguy tried it against me once. You use that Pactio link thing to empower either yourself or your partner. It didn't work then, it won't here either!" and he ran to Negi's encounter.

Negi extended his right hand ahead, eyes glinting fiercely, as if he was ready to launch a spell. Then, out of his left sleeve, three tiny bottles he had been saving for the rescue raid were flung out, landing between Negi's fingers right before he swiftly tossed them into Kotaro's direction, taking advantage of his distraction.

One of them managed to graze Kotaro in a cheek, exploding in contact and blinding him. Just as Negi closed his eyes and leaped ahead to slam his staff across Kotaro's face, the other two bottles exploded at the mercenary's feet, making him lose his balance. Negi elbowed him in the stomach as hard as he could to send him tumbling on his back, and then he jumped on his stomach. Smashing the staff down on Kotaro's wolfish jaws, he prepared a lightning spell, but the bigger boy kicked him off himself, still rubbing his eyes off. "Idiot! Even if you blinded me, we can act on pure smell and hearing anyway!"

He slashed away with a claw, one Negi ducked under, rolling to Kotaro's feet and entangling the staff between them to bring him down again. On all fours, Kotaro roamed savagely, actually chomping and clawing for him, but Negi kicked him in the face with his increased strenght.

Kotaro slammed a hand down on the ground, causing an explosion of Ki that bowled Negi down for a moment, enough for Inugami to jump on him, grabbing him by the shirt and whacking him down harshly. "Gotcha now, bookworm! In a range this close, you got no chance!"

Chamo was biting him in the tail out of desperation, but Kotaro wagged the tail around and Chamo flew through the cold air of the night with a yell. "Shoo, rat!"

Negi, using the brief distraction, uppercuted Kotaro to the jaw, panting hard. His enhancement was running off now, and out of options, he chanted a brief "Deflexio!" to push Kotaro off himself. Negi struggled and kicked free and rolled back, to where an also panting Misa was running to his side, having dispelled the demons attacking her for now. "Negi-kun! Are you—?-!"

"Y-Yes, " he nodded, supporting himself on her to stand fully straight again. He wheezed and regained control of his breath, half smirking. "Kotaro-kun and me are just starting..."

His vision fully regained now, Kotaro grinned at him. "Now you finally feel the spirit! A shame you still haven't the muscle to back it up!"

Negi adopted a new fighting position. "Or do I? Come and find it out!"

"Negi-kun...!" Kakizaki breathed in.

"Hah ha ha!" laughed Kotaro. "You must be punch-crazy! Can't you realize my next attack will flatten you? Well, then!" and he jumped for it. "Learn it the hard way!"

Oh my Contract!

Quote:
 
"I am here, " Skuld declared, with a hand on her flat chest, "to save your lives! You, Morisato Keiichi, have been found worthy of having a single wish granted by Heaven! And it will be granted in this, your darkest hour! So let your heart rejoice!"

"Say what?" Keiichi babbled. "A wish?"

"Beware, Keiichi-san!" Makie warned. "She could be a cute but evil wish granting animal in disguise!"

"How rude! I'm not an evil animal!" Skuld said. "I'm a Holy Protector to Mankind!"

"Where were you when my doggy died, then?-!" Makie accused.

"First, dogs aren't part of mankind. Second, I was taking a day off, because I darn deserved it after all I do to help running this plane of reality. Third, all living creatures die someday, and you must learn to live with that. Any more questions?"

Makie blinked, and then asked, "Who was at charge that day, then?"

"I left an autopilot dummy, " and Skuld turned to Keiichi. "Now, you must think your wish carefully. As a matter of fact, you should think of a Contract with me, since this world will need my presence in the near future, and without a Contract tying me to this planet, I'll be recalled back to Heaven as soon as I grant your wish."

"Wait, wait, wait there!" Keiichi waved his hands before her. "Why do we need you around, first of all?"

"Because your world is about to perish, " Skuld evenly said.

"Oh geez. The wacky old man living on our sidewalk was right after all..." Makie whispered.

Keiichi had paled. "That's... That's why there are demons everywhere around us now?"

"Oh, no, that's actually a very low level summon!" Skuld all but laughed. "This is a snowflake compared to the snowstorm of the Omega Initiative! Your friends can take care of everything here but maybe the visitor from another realm. However, yes, you might die here, but if you contract with me, you'll have me around to protect you, so there'll be no reason to worry!" and she smiled impishly, although also a bit nervously.

Makie still distrusted. "I still think she's trying to trick you, Keiichi-san!" she shared.

"Couldn't I just wish for all these demons to go awa—" Keiichi began, frankly switching between terrified and plain annoyed, but Skuld quickly covered his mouth with a hand before he could finish the question.

"You could!" she said, "You could wish for anything, from riches and women to ending the world yourself! But if you just magically solve this whole situation, you'll be lost when the next, bigger magical disaster hits your lives. This is something Negi Springfield needs to do. I only can keep helping you if you anchor me to this world with a contract. Otherwise, I'll disappear after this and you'll be left to face the end on your own devices."

"What if I just wish for that apocalypse to be stopped forever?" Keiichi asked this time.

"It won't work. It's already been decided by Father, it only lacks a concrete date yet. I can tell you it'll be within your lifetimes, however. You haven't got much time left—" And she pushed him down. "DUCK!"

A massive green gargoyle demon broke in through a window waving a spiked club around, lunging at Keiichi like a rabid animal, drooling and laughing. Keiichi shrieked like a girl, but just as he was shielding Skuld with his body, Makie took aim and shot the demon thrice in the head, making him drop and then vanish with a horrible scream.

Keiichi trembled. "Th-Thank you, Makie-san. Skuld-san, are you..."

The small goddess pushed him aside, blushing. "I am!" she rasped, running a hand over her throat and closing her eyes. "W-Well done, Makie-san. Don't worry about the demon's lives. It'd take far more than mere human weapons to finish them for real. By destroying their physical selves, you only send them back to their hellish realms."

"Okey-dokey, " the 3-A student nodded.

"But now you see?" Skuld asked the young man. "I-If you don't contract with me, soon this will happening everywhere around the world, to each member of the human race! This, and more! No one will be spared, except maybe Yotsuba Satsuki and Chuck Norris!"

"Satchan?" Makie wondered.

"Well, we already have her booked up as our chef when she... you know, " Skuld waved a hand in circles. "Suffice to say your class is special. Decide, Keiichi!" she said, with her cheeks growing redder by the moment. "What is it going to be, yes or not?"

"No, wait, not so fast!" he gasped, still backing away from her. "There must be an alternative! We h-have t-t-to think this about! Why must I wish for a Contract with you?-!"

He froze where he was. "Crap, I wished for it, didn't I?"

Skuld's eyes shone in white for a moment, and her voice grew louder but more distant. "Wish Granted."

A small battalion of demons kicked the room's door open. "Here!" one of them shouted. "This was the source of that strange energy burst— Oh, Hell."

The last thing they saw there was a massive wave of holy power shooting itself down from the sky and through the ceiling, opening a huge hole on it. It hit Keiichi and Skuld squarely before spreading in all directions, washing over Makie, who felt it like a sublime bliss enveloping her warmly. Then it surrounded the demons as well and vaporized their physical shapes in the spot.

As they fell turned into thin ashes, a scarlet faced Keiichi looked down at a panting, wide eyed Skuld. "It's working..." she whispered.

"H-H-How... Wh-What do you mean with it's working?-!" he asked. "Wait, is this a contract like one of those Ayaka-san and Paru-sama mentioned? The ones where—?"

Skuld blushed even more and stared down, at the circle of light covered by runes appearing beneath their feet. "... A magical link is a magical link. I must adopt this world's specifications on magical binds to adapt to this environment."

Keiichi stared at the runes as well, feeling a tickling through his body. "I thought only mages could do this..."

"I'm made of pure magical energy. It'll work, " she informed quietly.

"Ah, " he lamely said. "You know, I still think we s-should think of something else, because I'm not sure of anything by now, and—"

"Please forgive me, Belldandy, " Skuld said, in a very low and sad tone. "This is for you."

"Eh?"

She grabbed Keiichi's cheeks between her hands to keep him in place, stood on the tips of her toes, and craned her neck up so her lips met his.

"Over here!" another horde of demons was reaching the door. "This is where we lost contact with F'hfttklk and his guards! I can feel a very worrying— Oh, Morningstar below!-!"

A new wave of divine power expanded itself from the Pactio activation and reduced them to nothingness.

Makie stood with a dumb smile plastered on. "I could get used to this sensation...!"

Why, Hello There

Quote:
 
Running up the south side of the hill, between the trees and the bushes, Ku Fei, Tatsumiya Mana and Nagase Kaede moved swift and silently, in that order. They jumped as much as they ran, from place to place, following irregular paths to avoid being easy targets from above. Apparently, no one had noticed them yet, but they were playing it safe anyway, even the normally boisterous and noisy Ku, after taking a lot of instructions from the two taller girls.

"Look up there!" Ku stopped, breaking her silence to point up at a pillar of light falling from the sky to crash against a specific spot of the wrecked villa over them. Mana frowned at that, but said nothing. Kaede's flat expression was fully unreadable. "What was that?"

"Problems, " Mana checked the rifle between her hands again.

The column of light disappeared just as soon as it had appeared, but Kaede didn't move again even then. "We should come up with an attack plan before assaulting them. I suggest finding a high ground and striking from there-de gozaru."

"That'll be difficult, since there are fliers as well, " Mana pointed up at some winged beings circling over the swarming demons that surrounded the compound. "We should eliminate those first."

Ku made a cooing, fascinated sound. "Uiiiiii! I never had seen anything like that! So many monsters in a single place!"

Kaede nodded. "Indeed. One wonders what kind of horrible incident could bring them upon this world."

"Let's ask them, " Mana began trudging up once more.

Kaede walked next to Ku and grabbed one of her hands. "Stick close to the shadows with me, Ku-dono. The surprise element is always a big tactic tool against many opponents at once."

"I don't really see any place from where we could attack them in secret, " argued Ku, straining her green eyes for such a spot.

Mana, who had moved to the head of the group, gestured for them to stop and put a finger on her mouth. Her rifle aimed ahead into the path, and she walked warily, step by step, moving some plants away to find a girl who was walking up the hill herself, her back to them. From behind, Ku could make out she had bright pink hair, and some sort of wide white wings attached to her back.

"Halt, " Mana commanded, as dry as harsh, training the rifle's aim on the head of the female. "Identify yourself. Friend or enemy of the Konoe House?"

The girl looked over her shoulder at the three 3-A students, and Ku saw her eyes were huge, shiny and with deep pinkish irises.

"Friend, I guess you could say, " she answered. "You're students of Negi-kun, aren't you?"

Ku made a sour face. "Oh, another friend from his childhood, no doubt. I'd have prefered a demon or another kind of enemy. At least I could kick those around..."

Kaede hushed her with a mildly disapproving hiss.


You can take it from here, Mage.

Mahora:

Finally, the phone rang interrupting the Go game at the Dean's office again.

"My, my, what a busy night..." Konoemon got up in a tired, exaggeratedly difficult way Evangeline just knew had to be feigned. That annoyed her. "What could they want now? Chachamaru-kun, you know what to do..."

"Indeed, " the gynoid nodded.

"I've told you numbskulls I'm not going to cheat!" Eva growled.

"Moshi Moshi?" asked Konoemon. "Oh, Takamichi-kun! A bit too late to be calling, don't you think? Is something the matter?"

"Actually, Sir, " Takahata's voice came somewhat diminished by the rumbles of explosions around him, "Yes. Your granddaughter has been kidnapped by rebels, Evangeline-san turned insane and attacked us, and demons are surrounding Eishun's headquarters as we speak."

"Konoka-chan, kidnapped? Oh dear, that's really bad. Did Eishun get the letter I sent with Negi-kun?"

"Yes, Sir, but I don't think that's the most—"

"Are you fighting Mc Dowell-chan right now?" the old man interrupted him.

The Eva at the Dean's office raised an eyebrow. "They are fighting her? And they're still alive? That girl's such a wuss."

"Sir, as matter of fact, I've just been thrown through four walls. I think she broke one of my wrists too, but nothing serious. I can keep on fighting, but all the same, I wanted to know if you could—"

"Send help your way?" Konoemon guessed.

"If you could be so kind, " Takahata finally could dislodge himself from the Takahata-shaped hole in the ground, rushing back to the battleground in the remains of that part of the manor.

"Ho-hum! Well, sending standard troops would take too long, and they wouldn't work against Mc Dowell-chan anyway."

"I'm aware of that, Sir, but at least some forces to battle the demons and give Negi-sensei and the students an escape chance...!"

"I think I can do better than that, Takamichi-kun, " Konoe said reassuringly. "Just hold on a few minutes there." He covered the phone's speaker and told the Chachamaru with them, "Karakuri, would you please bring me some chalk, the gray spellbook, the candles and the boxes of charms from the back room, please?"

"Immediately, Sir, " she bowed and turned around.

"What's your senile mind scheming now, old prune?" Evangeline asked him.

"Eva-chan, you've been needing a vacation for a while now, haven't you?"

"Was that a crack on my mental state?" her eyes became black and golden.

"Goodness, no. It's just I casually found the chance to reward your devotion to this academy with a free extra activity outside, that's all."

"Devotion my ass! I had no choice but staying here all these years! Wait... 'Outside'? What are you implying with that?"

He smiled at her, and his smile was even more obnoxious than his feeble old man act.

Tsukuyomi's Heart, Part One

Quote:
 
Next to the Lake:

Maga Alba could read the confusion and panic on her younger counterpart's eyes. Gagged and tied down, nearly naked, near her doppleganger and separated from her friends and family— no wonder she felt so scared. Even Alba's own first experience at being a Distressed Damsel was less traumatic than this.

For starters, at least she hadn't been betrayed by anyone she considered a friend.

Trying to calculate and measure her options, Maga Alba turned her eyes to Tsukuyomi, who stood vigilant near them. Amagasaki was too busy chanting for the ritual, and Homura was eyeing her with growing mistrust and poison. Mad Hatter, on the other hand, looked up at her with adoration. A red haired young man Konoe recognized as the boy who had driven Tsukuyomi's carriage at Cinema Town stood close taking readings with a handheld device, and a tall shapely woman with incredibly sad eyes and long black hair was assisting him. Everyone else was out of sight.

Konoe wormed a leg up, struggling against the binds they had placed at its upper half, almost neighboring her crotch. They had clearly done that in a hurry, and trusting (correctly) she couldn't use her legs to kick free from the rest of the binds. It still was difficult, but she managed to do what she aimed for, and the tips of her toes brushed against one of Tsukuyomi's hips.

The swords expert shuddered in place, her creamy white skin gaing a slight blush and goosebumps all over it. Then she looked down at Konoe and smiled.

It was a risky gamble. Very risky. As risky as what Alba was about to do next.

She began moving her mouth under the gag, trying to form the words out, while also allowing her eyes and expression talk for them, inviting Tsukuyomi, daring her, even. The mercenary's eyes gained a naughty glint.

"What's this?" she cooed, voice low enough for the others not to hear it. "Do you want to talk, Other Hime-sama?"

Konoe nodded. Konoka, at her other side, looked at them without understanding, sweating copiously despite how cold the night was.

"You're tricking to trick me, aren't you?" The sword's edge caressed Konoe's cheek, feeling almost like silk, never leaving the slightest cut, but teasing the all too soft flesh under it over and over. Konoe kept her breath steady. "Ah. Not only beautiful, but brave. And no doubt smart, too! Ehhhh, I'll bet you're so sure you can manipulate me into letting you escape or turning against Chigusa-han..."

The blade ran over the gag's cloth now, and Konoe almost could taste the metal against her lips. Tsukuyomi loomed over her, her breath coming into shorter, more intense puffs blowing on her face.

"Okay. Let's see what can you do with your tongue."

And she cut the cloth in a single, surgical and quiet move, never touching the skin underneath. Maga Alba breathed deeper through her mouth, paused for a moment, and looked at Tsukuyomi's gorgeously placid face, which had a dreamy smile on.

"Talk to your heart's content, " the psycho cooed sweetly. "Talk for me, as much as you want. Let me hear the music of your lips. But not too loud... yet. Or else Chigusa-han will get cranky. Middle age crisis and all that, you know..."

"They told me about you, " Konoe said. "That you grew up along Konoka-san and Setch— Setsuna-san."

"I did, yes, " Tsukuyomi nodded very seriously. "I spent the happiest days of my life there."

"If your happiest days were spent without hurting people, why do you do it now?" Konoe asked.

"I was a child then. No matter how happy our childhood was, we can't go back there. Once we're grownups, we must find happiness in the things grownups do, silly!"

Konoe was about to protest, but Tsukuyomi pressed a finger on her lips.

"I know. You'll tell me real serious, responsible adults don't spend their time hurting others. But you're wrong. I've know the adult world up close and personal. I deal with them all the time. Dog eats dog, and the ones who look the cleanest are often the dirtiest. Do you think there are saints anywhere? Even the greatest heroes have skeletons in their closets."

The finger was withdrawn, and Tsukuyomi looked genuinely curious, waiting for this Konoka's reply.

Instead of an answer, a heated one as Tsukuyomi anticipated, there was only a sad and quiet question.

"What happpened to you?"

"Many things. Both good and bad, although I suspect you'll consider my good things are your bad things, and viceversa. I learned more than any school could teach me, but I don't regret any of it. The only things I regret are those I couldn't do, not what I did."

"Like what?"

"Like not spending more time with Oneesama and Hime-sama. Or you, " she ran two fingers tip-toe over Konoe's stomach, tickling it. "You're such an enigma. Who are you? From where do you come? What's your name? One as pretty as you, no doubt..."

Tsukuyomi's Heart, Part Two

Quote:
 
"Actually, " Konoe began quite calmly, "My name's Konoe Konoka, only daughter of Konoe Eishun."

Tsukuyomi sneered. "You'll have to try something better, if you want to make me laugh."

Konoe only turned her head to the other Konoka. "I know what you must be thinking. but I'm actually Konoka, as much as you. I just come from... somewhere else. A different world with another Setchan, another Asuna-chan, another Negi-kun... All of us have a counterpart there."

"And they called me crazy, " Tsukuyomi sighed. "If this is a trick to make me believe you're insane and useless for the plan..."

"Be quiet, " Maga Alba told her. "I'm not talking to you. It's rude to interrupt."

Tsukuyomi recoiled back. "What? What a rude hostage! Aren't you aware of your situation?"

Konoe nodded as best as she could. "I am. I know I'm kidnapped and being watched over by a fat girl with an ugly hat."

Tsukyomi's right eyebrow quivered thrice. "... Fat."

"The Tsukuyomi I know, " Konoe began rather seriously, "is much limber and more svelte, with longer legs and a flatter stomach. Luckily your sister inherited the good genes, while you were left with the fat."

"Don't mock me, missssssy!" Tsukuyomi literally hissed at her. "You've seen me fighting! You must know no fat person could ever move like I do!"

"You're just what Paru-chan calls Acrofatic, " Konoe said without any fear. "It isn't that uncommon. Mitsuru-sensei is like that, for instance. Hasn't Setchan ever told you about him? Oh, sorry, I guess not, since you never talk anymore..."

"Shut up!" Tsukuyomi snapped.

Homura looked from afar in their direction. "Everything okay around there?-!" she called out.

Tsukuyomi nodded curtly and discreetly placed the gag on Konoe's mouth again. "Nothing to worry about!" After Homura returned to watching Chigusa like an angry hawk, Tsukuyomi pulled the cloth back. "You're a needlessly cruel person!" And she looked at the other Konoka. "Isn't she, Hime-sama? You'd never be like that!"

"Why don't you let her tell that herself?" Konoka asked. "Or are you afraid of what she'd tell you?"

"It's you who should be afraid!" the mercenary threatened her with her blade's tip. The other Konoka's eyes widened absurdly, but Maga Alba barely flinched.

"I don't need fearing you. I've defeated a much stronger, much better, much meaner Tsukuyomi several times before, and in worse situations than this. Compared to her, you're just a crybaby who lost her way and now won't stop asking for a sister to take her hand."

Tsukuyomi jerked back as if a devil ray had stung her.

"Setchan told me about you, " Konoe continued.

Tsukuyomi's hands tightened around her sword's handle. "Yes. That's what she does. Betraying me. Betraying my secrets and my trust. All the time, since we were little. I love her unconditionally, and what does she do to me, the blood of her blood? She loves Hime-sama and scorns me! She let that evil, evil woman who married Eishun-sama cast me away from her! She always hated me, that awful woman!" she fumed madly. "Oh, for the chance of cutting her neck off!" And she looked at Konoka again, noticing her horrified expression. "Admit it, you don't like her either! She kicked Oneesama out of your house at the first chance she got! And that warped Oneesama against me even more! Now she mocks me, only sending dopplegangers against me instead of facing me herself... Shapeshifters! Evil shapeshifters, that's what you are! Trying to trick me with lies!"

"I'm Konoe Konoka. Or else, how could I be useful for Chigusa's plan?" Maga Alba argued.

Tsukuyomi seethed. "I don't know! I don't care! Shut up, or I'll cut you off no matter what Chigusa-han wants!"

Maga Alba closed her mouth but kept an even, almost defiant glance on Tsukuyomi.

The swordmistress lifted her glasses up and rubbed her eyes with a handkerchief of silk. "Only one thing more. If you really came from another world, with another me, where is she now?"

"Why should I know? She isn't my sister, not even by raising. And my Setchan and me are much better because of it."

Now that ignited Tsukuyomi's rage. She made like stabbing her for a moment, so much that Konoe feared she had gone too far in her taunting. The local Konoka would have screamed if she had could.

But then the sword came down without striking, and instead, Tsukuyomi stormed over to Konoka's side and ripped her gag off as well. "Tell her! Tell her of how happy we were, until your mother's hate and Oneesama's duplicity separated us! Tell this awful, heartless woman of the wonderful treasures we once shared! Tell her of our friendship!" And it melted out in a weak, ".. Please."

Konoka coughed up, fought to regain her voice after hours of forced silence, and then said a single word.

I'm getting the feeling that Konoka's response is going to be a character defining moment for her. And may or may not result in a character defining moment for Tsukuyomi. That, or she'll just start screaming for help, prompting the start of the action sequence.

Tsukuyomi's Heart, Part Three

Quote:
 
"Sorry, " Konoka said.

That answer startled even Tsukuyomi. "What? What did you just say?"

"I'm sorry if I never could live up to your expectations as a sister figure, Yomi-chan, " she closed her eyes. "And I'm sorry I never could help you, to stop you from taking this road. I should have looked for you after you left..."

"I didn't leave, I was forced to leave!" Tsukuyomi shrieked.

An unfazed Konoka went on, "And I apologize for all of that. But, while I don't understand all this about the other world or the other Konoka that well yet, Yomi-chan, I can tell you this: If you ever hurt my mother or Setchan, I swear I'll do everything in my power to see you're punished for it. All the resources I have, I'll use them to track you to the ends of the world. And yes, I realize I should have used them earlier to look for you, too. Again, I'm so sorry for that... But believe me, I won't make the same mistake twice."

Tsukuyomi's tiny nose twitched despite herself. "You... You are threatening me...?"

"I wouldn't call it threatening you. Simply saying how you'd threaten yourself if you ever did anything to Mom or Setchan. Daddy doesn't worry me since I know he could take you blindfolded and asleep..."

She sounded surprisingly calm, all things considered.

Tsukuyomi clenched her perfect teeth. "Don't play that way with me, Hime-sama! I know you can't be happy at your mother after what she did to Oneesama! Placing on her the blame of something she had no part on!"

"I'll admit I still haven't forgiven Mom, but still, I won't ever forgive anyone who hurts a single hair on her hair. And I know Setchan never had anything to do with that, " Konoka nodded as best as she could in her position. Konoe kept on watching and listening at her in attentive silence. "Because I know it was you who pushed me into that river."

Tsukuyomi's face went white for a moment. "You knew?-!"

Again, a nod. "I just played dumb on it, since I didn't want to make things any worse for you. You were younger than us, so I understand you didn't understand what you were doing, but—"

"Of course I knew!" Tsukuyomi snarled angrily. "I'm not an idiot! I know the consequences of my acts perfectly! Why everyone treats me as if I'm stupid or insane?-!"

"Well, " Maga Alba opined, "Maybe, if your actions began drifting away from the insane and stupid—"

"Button it up!" Tsukuyomi barked. "I'm perfectly sane! I have full clarity of mind! Otherwise, I couldn't be a highly paid professional! Fooling yourself into thinking the world is anything but a happy never ending flood of blood and pain... That's the true insanity! And I knew that even back then! I knew I'd get myself taken away from you, but I didn't care, because at that point, I already had lost Oneesama to you! And if I couldn't have her, then I wouldn't let you have her either!"

"Lost... Setchan to me..?" Konoka repeated incredulously.

Tsukuyomi rubbed the eyes under her glasses. "Oneesama was the only light of my life, my only support. But you, with your sickening sweetness, with your false smiles, made her love you and forget me! She didn't want to spend any time with me anymore! it was you, you, always you!"

"I had no idea you felt that way..."

"Of course you didn't!"

"Because you never told me."

"Why should I have?"

"Because it'd have been the sane thing to do?-!" both Konokas said in stereo.

Tsukuyomi flinched slightly. For a moment, she looked about to blush. "It... It would have made no difference..."

"You kinda are stupid, Yomi-chan, " Konoka had to say.

"Shut up."

"And cowardly, " Maga Alba added.

"Shut up, you too!"

"Really, " Konoka chided, "You brought all this on yourself, and on poor Setchan too, all because you were too cowardly about confessing your true feelings. All those years of separation, only because you never could get over your pride and tell us what was bothering you..."

"I got better! I'm speaking my mind openly now!"

"Only when it's already broken..." Konoe sighed.

"Yes, " Konoka had to nod. "You really need help, Yomi-chan..."

"I'm not the one who needs help, since I'm not tied to a slab waiting to be used in a demonic ritual!" the younger girl protested.

Konoka blinked. "Oh, so that's why you kidnapped me?"

"Yes! So you can drop that smug happy go lucky superiority of yours already and despair, Hime-sama!"

"I'm not despairing! Setchan, Daddy, Negi-kun and Asuna-chan will come soon to save me, I'm sure."

"Yes, they will, " Maga Alba smiled. "Trust me, I've gone through this before. It'll be really cool...!"

"Really?" Konoka asked.

"And Setchan will do the most awesome thing you've ever seen!" the older Konoe gushed.

"She will?" Tsukuyomi sounded genuinely interested now.

"Oh, tell me! Tell me what is it!" Konoka pleaded.

"Nope, " Konoe would have shaken a finger if she could. "No spoilers, you'll have to see it yourself to understand it. You'll thank me then."

"Oh, at least a clue, please!" Konoka said.

"No, no, no sir!" Konoe sing-sang.

Tsukuyomi thought she got it. "Oh, you mean she'll show her wi—"

"NO SPOILERS!" Konoe raised her voice.

"... Sorry, " Tsukuyomi found herself saying.

The Cat's Meow

An alley in Mahora:

"That was really great, you know, " Artemis said, lying on his back and looking at the starry sky. It was a strange position for a cat, but the white feline had copied many human character traits after his time with them. "There was... There is someone special for me, but we haven't met literally in ages... And I can't help feeling lonely at times! Minako-chan's a great friend, but there are things she can't help me with, a level of contact we just can't share..."

"Mmm-hmmmm, " Felicia purred, trying to sleep in a furry ball at his right.

"Are you sure it's okay leaving her alone tonight?" Blair asked, with her head lazily resting on the tom's chest.

"Minako-chan's a big girl already, " Artemis waved a paw. "She'll be fine."

"Just remember, it's all just for fun. And between pals, " Yoruichi told him. "No matter what, we are not ever bringing romance into this. Ever."

Artemis cringed just a bit. "Couldn't you, no offense, stop talking with a masculine voice?"

"Not while I'm in this form. Why? Feeling threatened to your sexuality?"

"It's... It's not like that, but..."

"You weren't complaining half a hour ago, Artemis-kun, " Yoruichi said.

"Ahhhhh..."

"You'd prefer trying my other form? You pervert..." she teased mercilessly.

"What? GAH! NO!"

With a chuckle and a poof of smoke, Yoruichi returned to her human form, towering over him, just to mess with his head.

It was then when Sailor Venus wandered into the alley. "Artemis...?-! Artemis, where are you?-! Stupid cat... Artemis, I finished the monster already, let's go back home! Ah, there... are... you..."

A chalk white Minako stared at the naked dark skinned woman standing over a twitching, deadly afraid Artemis.

The woman stared back at her, casually, with her hands on her hips.

Minako turned around mechanically. "I never was here at all."

And she ran like wind!

Lala Lala Lala, Can't Hear You

Quote:
 
The Inn:

Yue sat at the other end of the kotatsu table, opposite the incredibly uncomfortable looking Rito, the mostly apathetic Run, and the always hyper and bubbly Lala.

"Okay, " she said once their three respective info dumps had ended. "I know I should be calling Nitta-sensei, the police, and probably the Men in Black, but since I've had enough weird agitation for a day..."

"I can share the feeling, " Rito sighed.

"... I'll just ask, 'Where do you expect to take this from here, Lala-sama?', " Yue continued, ignoring him. "I mean, even if you truly consider this ridiculous marriage arrangement feasible, you can't just shove it down on perfect strangers out of nowhere!"

"I get perfectly what you're saying, AYASE YUE!" Lala said with a firm nod. "So we must get to know each other better before our wedding! Don't worry, we have lots of time for that! We could take literally years!"

"How about ninety years?" Yue asked.

"Wouldn't you be dead by then?" Lala asked back.

"I'll take the risk."

Run had to laugh at that.

"Eh? What's the joke?" Lala questioned, helplessly. "Rito and me want to know!"

"I don't!" Rito intervened.

"But you aren't getting the joke either, since you aren't laughing!" pointed out the pink haired alien.

"That hardly matters now, " Yue sighed. "Lala-sama, first of all, just call me Yue. Everyone does it."

"Okay!" the princess smiled with enough cheer to leave Itoshiki blind.

"Second, I'd suggest you to leave now. Not to be rude, but I'm very tired, and I don't think Haruna will be coming back until tomorrow."

"Oh, then we'll just sleep here with y—" Lala began.

"NO!" Run, Rito and Yue cried all at once.

Lala scratched her head. "This 'democracy' thing is bothersome."

"Lala-sama, listen, " Yue exhaled. "We'll be going back to Mahora Academy in only two days. It's better if we sit down to talk with Haruna there, since Rito-san and... well, Ren-san here aren't supposed to be here at all to begin with..."

"My name's Run!" exclaimed the offended blue haired beauty.

Lala made a disappointed face. "Two days?"

"What, is that too long for you?" asked Yue.

"Patience never was one of the Princess' virtues, " expanded Run.

"That isn't true! I can be patient, too!" argued Lala.

Run gave her that glare.

"What?" Lala pouted.

Run kept giving her that glare.

"What!" Lala cried.

Run still kept giving her that glare.

"WHAT! TELL ME ALREADY PLEASE OR GOSH I THINK I'LL DIE!" Lala began all but bawling.

"I rest my case, " Run sighed and shrugged. Both Yue and Rito sweatdropped.

"There, there, Princess, your cry will only ruin your natural beauty...!" Peke tried to console her. It wasn't very effective.

Warily, Yue reached up and patted Lala's shoulder, which made her stop sobbing almost immediately. Ayase noticed it was pretty much like comforting a child. "Don't worry about that. And I'm sure Haruna will be... receptive to... entertaining your friendship."

"Do you truly think so...?"

Yue had to nod. "Believe me, I know her better than anyone else..."

"Thank you, Yue!" Lala gave her another wide smile. "I'll be waiting for you at that place with a delicious nuptial dinner ready! In what continent is that Mahora Academy located?"

"It's right in this very same Japanese island!" Rito had veins pumping all over his head. "And weren't you saying you could wait for years for your wedding!-?"

"You aren't going to ask for ninety years as well, are you, Rito?" Lala turned huge deer-like eyes at him. Rito cringed back, struck by the sudden stabbing Sexy Moe.

"Eh, ah, well, I, you see—!"

"Because I'm sure Daddy will want grandkids!" Lala went on.

"GRANDCHILDREN?-!" Rito yelled.

"Only for him. For us, they'd be simply our children!" Lala sounded like she was sharing vital information.

"Everyone knows that already!" Run ran a hand over her face. "It'd take a complete idiot to be an ignorant about it!"

No one sneezed anywhere since even Nanoha and Negi would know that much.
