Hehe… hi there. Sorry if the story is somewhat unfinished. I'm just a natural procrastinator… Anyhow, I've been thinking of this fanfic for a long time, and I want some sleep now, so… enjoy, and don't forget to review. If I get good reviews, I'll do the second chapter right away; for now I'll concentrate on gaming… What the heck anyway? Please enjoy!

Mahou Sensei Negima

Nodoka's First

Chapter I: Together

Rating: T

Genre: Romance

"That's it, Mr. Springfield; Get Out!" Asuna Kagurazaka's voice can be heard anywhere in the dorm as she kicked their teacher out of her dormroom. She threw his suitcases out of the door, which made a louder ruckus. Everyone got out of sleep and out of their rooms to see what the fuss is all about.

"But Asuna-san, it's a—" he tried to reason.

"But nothing. Don't come back here unless you find a spell to bring back that mug Takahata-sensei gave me."

"Asuna-san, don't you think this is a bit too harsh?" Konoka Konoe appeared behind Asuna and just got up from bed.

'Well, I hope he learned a thing in this," she stared at an almost-crying Negi Springfield. "See you in class, Negi-sensei." She turned her back on him and closed the door.

This feeling, somewhat like rejection. But everything will be fine again once he finds a spell for repairing. But the thing is, he has no idea where, nor how to start. Chamo would be of great use at a desperate time like this but sadly; he's on vacation and is cruising right now to Hawaii.

It was a rainy day that morning, sadder than any other. He knows her anger will soon end, but the emotion of child his age is exaggerated; either very happy, very sad, very eager, very drowned. Even if he acts like an adult, he cannot hide what he is today. He took his suitcases and headed to the school, too early than usual.

Meanwhile in Haruna, Yue and Nodoka's dormroom…

'I heard Asuna kicked Neji-sensei out of her dormroom," Haruna mentioned.

"Poor Negi, I hate to see him without a house to sleep in," Yue said. "You know, he could stay here for the meantime; we still have some room, and he can help us with Math."

'Negi-sensei…staying here with us…' Nodoka thought.

"By the way Nodoka, Yue and I are going to manga convention out of town tomorrow. Negi-sensei can have the bed on top of yours. What do you think, Nodoka?" Haruna asked.

'I…and Negi-sensei…in the same room…' Nodoka thought. She blushed. "We're gonna be late for school," she said trying to avoid the subject. She finished her breakfast and took her school bag. The other two followed her immediately and took off.

After Mr. Springfield's Class

Negi Springfield was writing his lesson plan, as usual; but he's unusually down. Who would not be down after being kicked out of your dormroom. Besides, he can't blame Asuna for treasuring that mug Takahata gave her last year. He can't even ask everyone in class; even Takahata because he's in vacation with Chamo. He sighed.

Haruna Saotome and Yue Agase approached him.

"Nagi-sensei…" Yue called. "Haruna and I were wondering if we could ask you a favor."

Negi took off the pained look on his face to answer the question.

"I'm sorry; Haruna-san, Yue-san; but I still have some problems to solve—"

"We heard you haven't a place to stay for the mean time," Haruna interrupted. "We could help you."

His face brightened. "Really?" Arigatou gozaimasu, Haruna-san, Yue-san," he said.

"Negi-sensei, you see, Yue and I are going to a comic convention tomorrow. We need you to watch over Nodoka for a while. You could stay in our dorm with her while we're gone." She said. "Besides, you too will find good company on each other; I promise." He blushed.

He remembered Nodoka, a silent and timid girl from his class. Reads a lot and good in English. 'I wonder why she's always embarrassed when I look at her face,' he thought.

But before he could reply, Haruna placed a key to their dormroom on top of his desk.

"Arigatou gozaimasu, Negi-sensei," they said in unison as they ran out of the room. He sighed again.

'Oh well, at least I have a place to stay for now. I just hope Nodoka wouldn't know soon that I think she's desirable.' He sighed, picked up his lesson planner and headed to the faculty to take his belongings.

Bus Stop, Afternoon

"I don't know about this, Haruna-chan," Nodoka poutedly said.

"You worry too much, Nodoka. You like Negi-sensei don't you? You've been crushing on him for five months now. I think it's time you two get to know each other a little better, if you know what I mean." Haruna teased.

Nodoka blushed and covered her face from embarrassment. Haruna laughed.

"Haruna-chan, we have to go now. Take care Nodoka-chan." Yue called as she stepped up the bus.

"Take care of yourself Nodoka-chan, and Negi, too," Haruna said before she went in the bus.

The bus took off. Nodoka watched it go smaller as it went to the distance. It was almost dark. She picked up her books and walked home.

Nodoka's Dormroom

Negi stopped the door. He dropped his things and reached into his pocket to get the key the two handed earlier. He opened the door to find that nobody was in the dormroom. Nodoka wasn't home yet. He took hi luggage in and look around the room for a while. The room was simple; every detail is arranged and orderly; the room smelled of home. There was bed on one side and a double-decker on the other.

'I'll think I'll have a shower,' Negi thought. He took off his uniform and went in the shower room.

Few Minutes Later

Nodoka went in the dormroom and noticed the unlocked door. She saw the suitcases lined up near the bed but did not saw her sensei around. She putted the dinner she bought on the coffee table.

'Maybe he went out and bought dinner,' she thought. 'But I bought this other one for him.' She tried not to pout. She opened her dinner and ate. The door of the shower room opened and Negi stepped out with a long towel wrapped around his waist going down. He was drying his red colored hair with another towel. He didn't see Nodoka with the towel in the way of his eyes.

After he finished then he noticed Nodoka: There was a brief pause as their eyes met and realized each other's presence. She was not moving and somewhat shocked from what she just saw. She had dropped the rice ball she was eating a while ago. This was the first time she saw Negi like this. She felt her face turn warmer and warmer. Before she ever feel herself collapse, she turned around, covered her face and tried to forget what she saw. She cursed herself for seeing him half-naked, although he did look great even for a ten-year-old.

"Gomenasai," they both said in unison. He ran back to the shower room and cast a spell to change his clothes. Nodoka didn't see the light emitted by the magic because she wasn't facing the shower room's glass door. What she was thinking is 'how Negi was able to change to new clothes if he didn't take new ones from his suitcase?' She didn't bother asking when he sat with her on the dining table.

"Nodoka-san, forgive me if I ever surprised you or bothered you in anyway," Negi apologized.

"Oh, not at all Negi-sensei," she replied. "By the way, I bought you dinner."

"Thank you, Nodoka-san. I haven't—"

His stomach made a growling sound. There was a short silence after. They both laughed.

"I'm sorry; I haven't eaten since lunch," he said.

"You sure are dedicated, Negi-sensei," Nodoka said.

They continued eating. As they ate, Negi was stealing glances at Nodoka. Nodoka stole glances at Negi as well. Before they finished their meal, their eyes met once again.

"Uhmm, Nodoka-san, I was wondering…" he said.

"Yes, Negi-sensei?" she asked hopingly.

'Oh, what was I thinking?' he cursed himself.

"Nothing… Forget what I said." He picked up his plate and headed to the dishwasher. "I'm off to bed now. Oyasumi nasai, Nodoka-san (Goodnight)."

"Okay," she replied.

That Night

That night, negi will be sleeping at the upper deck. Nodoka, on the other hand, occupied the lower deck as usual. He cannot sleep. He peered at Nodoka to check on her. "Nodoka-san?" He asked. There was no reply. She was fast asleep. he stared at her for a while. He can't believe his eyes. He blinked a couple of times. An angel sleeping right beneath him. Negi, now, felt the same way as hers. That night, he slept with a smile on his face. He almost forgot about Asuna.

Morning

Nodoka woke up feeling something wrapped around her. At first, she thought it was just her pillow. But when she looked at what she though to be her pillow, she realized that it wasn't a what but a who. She found Negi sleepig beside her; his arms wrapped around her and hi head resting by her shoulder. Their bodies are so close together, she could feel hi heartbeat. She doesn't want this to stop. This was heavenly.

While he was sleeping, Negi's face leaned in closing to hers. Nodoka is now face to face with Negi. She wasn't able to move, because of all the tension and because she didn't want to wake him. He came closer, and closer, and closer. Closer until their lips met. She felt all her blood rush to her face. It was bliss. She was about to faint but still, she did enjoy the moment. Negi was her first love. Their lips haven't part yet. She closed her eyes and took in the pleasure.

Her first love.

Her first kiss.

She was living a dream. It was almost a minute they stayed like that. But the leaving dream soon ended when Negi awoke. His eyes opened and almost popped. He was confused but somehow happy this was happening. Nodoka opened her eyes feeling Neji move. Their eyes met and didn't let go. Realizing their situation, they broke the kiss. They stared at each other's surprised face.

"Gomenasai Nodoka-san," "Gomenasai Negi-sensei," they both said as they both sprung from their position and apologized. The two of them thought the situation was surprisingly funny. They laughed. This is one of those moments that couldn't be forgotten.

"Uh, negi-sensei, why are you in my bed?"

—"Sumimasen: I used to sleep walk and go to my onee-chan's bed back home."

He rose from their bed and headed to the kitchen.

"I'll make us breakfast so don't you worry about anything." he said from the kitchen.

"Arigatou gozaimasu, Negi-sensei." She replied.

"No, please; don't call me sensei, we're not in class. Call me Negi-chan, Jou-chan." He said with a smile on his face. She found his smile very cute: and warm like love.

—"Hai."
