Wow, almost exactly a year since the last update…sigh, all I can do is apologize once again. College was my biggest fic killer this year, but now that I graduated, I can get back into writing while looking for work. This chapter is going to be a small filler since it is on hiatus and not my main focus, but! It will be once I finish up some of my other fics, I swear!

It just takes some time is all.

…Which you have no doubt noticed! XP

Asuna stirred in her sleep, legs wresting under her blanket before she shot up, panting with some sweat dripped her brow, "Wow, that…" she muttered.

Her dream was like a lot of her recent ones.

The moments of her past that had been sealed away.

This one had been when she first Met Nagi and…A smile came to her face as her dual colored eyes glimmered with happiness.

Naruto, that big handsome dork.

He was a lot cuter as a kid.

Asuna ran her hand through her orange hair and looked around, "Eh?" she said, her head zooming one direction to the other, "Negi? Ero-Chamo? Konoka? Setsuna-san? Naruto? W-Where is everyone?!" she exclaimed as she looked through the whole room.

She dashed out her room, still wearing her jammies, and went to Setsuna and Naruto's room.

"Hey, guys, you in here-whaa!" Asuna exclaimed, her hair standing up in surprise at what she was seeing.

Setsuna and Konoka were inside a Pactio circle that Chamo, who was sitting on a cabinet, had set up for them.

"Sorry to interrupt!" Asuna said, heading for the door, until Setsuna grabbed her leg in a tight hold, making Asuna drag her.

"It's not what you think, Asuna-san! It's for a Pac-Pac-Pac-!"

"I mean, I always suspected, but…"

"What did you suspect-?!"

Konoka, chipper as always, said, "Asuna, what's all the fuss about?"

Chamo sighed, "Why do people always get interrupted at times like this?" he mumbled, "Ah well, guess we'll have to do the Pactio some other time."

"I think I forgot," Asuna smiled with a sheepish laugh, "I mean, seeing something like that first thing in the morning…"

Setsuna's face lit up and she stammered, "I said it was only a Pact-!"

Asuna then blink and made an 'o' with her mouth, "Hey, where's Naruto anyway?" she questioned Konoka.

The mage pursed her lips, "With Princess Prissy herself." She pouted with crossed arms.

"Eh?!" the Magic Canceler exclaimed, "What do ya mean he's with her?" she questioned in shock.

Setsuna was the one who answered, "Naruto-san said it was about some 'Magical Affair Nonsense'." She quoted dutifully, "But still left with Theodora-sama to see to it."

Asuna snapped her fingers, "Damn her, I bet it's nothing but a rouse to be with him." She grumbled.

"As expected of royalty." Konoka nodded with crossed arms.

Asuna clicked her tongue, "And I have that thing I have to do, she wins this time." She admitted, "I got to go get ready. See ya guys."

"Bye Asuna/Asuna-san." The two girls waved off.

Konoka turned to Setsuna and smiled, "So, should we continue~?" she teased, getting her protector to go red in the face.

"Ojou-sama!"

"I just don't see the point," Naruto told Theodora as he paid for their coffee and moved to sit at a table.

The princess rolled her eyes, "He wants to find your dumb dad. You know him, he doesn't. Simple."

"I just think he shouldn't chase a ghost." Naruto argued plainly as he leaned back into his chair.

"Um, pot, meet kettle." Theo told him after a sip of her coffee and pointed at him, "I remember a certain blond searching for another blonde woman when he was younger."

"…That was different."

Theodora snorted and took another sip, "No. It isn't. Only difference you stopped after a certain age."

"I had a brother, sister, and cousin to take care of." The blond told her, "I couldn't just skip and leave every time I might've had a hint…besides, that trail's been cold for years." The Springfield sighed, running a hand through his spiky hair.

"Yet, you would still look. Just like Negi wants to find your dad."

Naruto looked up to his sky, seeing the clouds with his dual colored eyes, "Well, sometimes you might not like what you find at the end of the road…seeing that you wasted your time chasing a ghost."

Theodora frowned and moved closer to him, grabbing his hand, "Hey, Arika," she saw Naruto's shoulders tense, "she would be happy with what you've done so far. Yes, you haven't found her but raising your brother? Being with your family? She would be happy, just like that."

"She was simple like that, especially for a royal."

Theodora's eyes gained an amused twinkle, "Oh? And what about me."

Naruto snorted, lowering his head to look at her with mirth, "What was it that that muscle head called you? Oh, yeah, the Tomboy Princess. You can act all proper but I know the real you, Spoiled Gamer Princess, bleh." He stuck out his tongue at her.

Theodora huffed, crossing a leg over her other and folded her arms after putting down her coffee, "So, I need entertainment since all this royal stuff builds up stress. We can't all just drift where the wind takes us, like a certain dumb-dumb I know."

"Who is this dumb-dumb? Got another man on the side? Because I am quite smart." Naruto winked at her.

Theodora rolled her blue eyes, "Yeah, when you want to be, Mr. Genius Mage."

"Meh, I'm not a genius, that's Negi's thing. I just know how to sound smart and hit hard."

"Sadly, your father only did the latter."

"It was why he had uncle Al."

"I thought that was for sarcasm?"

Both broke into a laugh at that until Naruto got his chuckles under control.

"Still," the blond boy mused, "Negi wanting to go to the magical world. I don't really think he knows what to expect."

"And we of course, do." The princess stated.

"Still, even with Eva-chan's training…I really need to see if he's ready." Naruto thought to himself and looked to see Theo's annoyed face, "What?"

"Eva-chan."

"…Oh come on! You cannot still be mad about that!"

"You slept with her!"

"I was drunk!"

"She got you drunk." Theodora stated with a flip of her hair.

"It was very good wine." The mage countered, "And I mean, come on, it wasn't like I was a virgin or anything." Naruto snorted and Theodora's glare intensified, "I said that out load, didn't I?"

"…Who?"

"Well," Naruto, looking at his empty wrist, "Just look at the time!" he took one final sip of his coffee and said, "Well, see ya later. Bye!" he ran away. Fast.

"Naruto Springfield!" Theodora raged.

Asuna was in a white tanktop with blue short shorts and sandals as she stood waiting for her meeting. But, she was also contemplating her dream.

"Man," she sighed out, "I can't believe I have such a long name, seriously, something less winded would have been nicer." She scratched her cheek, "Still…" a smile danced on her face.

"Seeing Nagi and Konoka's dad," a small laugh came on her face, "How could I forget meeting him," she thought of the boy she, well, loved? Yeah…that was the word. The moment she met the boy she would love for the first time.

Asuna shook her head, her pigtails shaking, "Man, shorting out these memories are so weird." She mumbled.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, Asuna-san." A voice behind her said.

"Whoa!" Asuna jumped and whipped around to see who it was, "Incho!" she said to see Ayaka before her.

The blonde young lady said, "Your request was accepted, so you may proceed." She informed her rival/friend.

"Thanks for the help, Incho." Asuna said with a laugh and pointed to a sweets shop nearby, "Let me treat you to something." She offered.

"Ohoho," Ayaka said with a hand to her mouth, letting out an Ojou-sama laugh, "I didn't do it for you," she waved off, "Plus, I can't let a commoner treat me." She informed as Asuna's eye twitched.

"What'd you say?" she asked with a glare, but Ayaka just smiled.

A little later, Asuna was before Negi, Naruto (who oddly had a lump on his head), and Theodora, the library trio, and Konoka and Setsuna.

Negi asked, "What are we doing here, Asuna-san?" he questioned.

"What is it, Asuna?" Konoka asked curiously.

"I'm soliciting," the twin-tailed girl said, "Soli-Citing." She informed with a wag of her finger.

"For what?" Theo questioned with a raised brow.

"Heh," the Magic Canceler grinned, holding up a slip of paper, "Take a look." She said, handing it to Negi.

"Huh," the boy genius said, looking it over, "A request to form a new club?" he questioned as Naruto looked over his shoulder.

"That's interesting," the blond boy mused, "What kind of club you making, Asuna-chan?" he asked her curiously.

"Listen," the tomboy started sternly, hands on her hips, "You said that if you go to the magical world, you may not come back."

"I think that's just exaggerating." Naruto stated to her, but Asuna pointed a finger at him.

"Hush, Blondie, I'm trying to have a moment here." She said in a 'duh' tone before returning to Negi, "You said that, right?"

Negi gave a quick nodded.

"It's like another world, Ane-san," Chamo said, scurrying out of Negi's shirt, "Even if there isn't a direct threat against it, it's like trying to sneak into Europe during the Cold War or something."

"Exactly!" Asuna shouted, "That means you might not come back. But ya see, that's no good!" she declared, point right at Negi, "You're our teacher, you have to come back, so," she shrugged, "I guess you'll need some backup, it would be cruel of me to let you go without it."

Naruto turned to Theodora with a pout, "What am I then?" he questioned.

Theo just patted him on the head, "There there." She cooed, somewhat mockingly.

Naruto just gave her a dull glare with his dual colored eyes.

"You're whole point of going there is to find your dad, right?" the tomboy said, "I even got Incho to help." She informed.

"Huh?!" the boy gaped.

"Let's just say…" Asuna smirked with confidence, "That the purpose of this club, is to find one Nagi Springfield." She declared, "And make sure Negi Springfield returns to school. We are currently asking for club names, but you, Negi, are out faculty supervisor."

"You got a problem with that?" she questioned sternly, eyes narrowed.

Naruto clapped, "Okay, that was awesome." He complimented, getting a cheeky grin from Asuna.

"It was okay," Theo muttered with crossed arms, "I guess." He huffed as everyone else was looking at Asuna in awe of her idea.

"Huh?" said Evangeline in a frilly white Lolita dress, umbrella and a little tophat, "Club Negima?" she questioned the temporary name, "What a stupid name…is it a club for yakitori-eaters?" she mocked Asuna, who huffed at her with crossed arms as Haruna, Ku Fei, and Kaede joined her in chatting with Eva.

"It's a club to help Negi find his father, Nagi, who is a Mage. Got a problem with that?" Haruna and Ku Fei disagreed, making Asuna glower at them to shut it.

Eva on the other hand tilted her head, giving a dull blink as she already saw through Asuna's plan, "You want to use the school's funds for a trip to Wales. Heh," the vampire turned her head ot the side, "Ridiculous." She said, making Asuna pout.

"Come on, Eva-chan, don't be like that." She said to her kinda friend, "You're looking for Nagi-san as well, right? But you're stuck here so we can look for him in your place." She said, pleading inward that he was still her focus instead of her idiot.

She was still pissed that Eva did that with Naruto to be honest.

Eva silently twirled her umbrella in her hands, a contemplating look on her face before she said, "Fine, I guess I can be an honorary advisor." She shrugged uncaringly, "But in return, I want every scrap of info you get on Nagi, got it?"

"Yes!" Asuna nodded, pleased that she was till focused on Nagi.

"So I can kick his ass once that idiot gets me out of here." Eva added smugly.

"Eh?" Asuna said as Eva gave her an evil smile.

"Did you think that roll in the sheets was a onetime thing, Kagurazaka?" the blonde's smile was face splitting, "If you thought that princess was your only competition, well, you should have assumed better."

Asuna gritted her teeth at that, a vein pulsing on her forehead, "Fine," she spat out, fists clenched, "Anyway-"

"And do something about that lame name."

Asuna fought the growl leaping from her throat, "Okay," she said with a shaky breath to calm herself, "Anyway…"

"You want to use the Resort as a 'clubhouse', yes?"

"Wah, reading minds now, Evangeline?" Haruna questioned.

Eva smirked haughtily at the artist, "No, Kagurazaka is that easy to read." She brushed off and turned her evil smile at the orange haired girl, "Well, if you beg, I suppose." She tittered off gleefully.

"BEG?!"

"I am an evil mage after all." The Shinso vampire said informatively with a wag of her finger, "Shame on you for forgetting that."

Asuna wanted to punch her now, "Can we please use the Resort as our clubhouse?" she begged (asked).

Evangeline hummed, a finger on her chin while looking up, "Well, since you're so desperate…"

Who's desperate?! Asuna shouted in her mind.

"Yes."

"Alright Eva-chan!" Asuna cheered as the other girls did too.

The went to Eva's cottage as they saw the other places Eva added to the Resort, like an arctic area, a desert one, a jungle one, and a mountain one.

As the girl entered and were greeted by Chachamaru, they looked around the peaceful resort as Negi and Kotarou, "Asuna-san! You're here! Does that mean you got Master's permission?"

Asuna gave him a V for victory, "Easy peasy." She said.

"Well, come on, we're just about to have tea after some training."

"I could go for that." Asuna nodded as she walked up to the group with Naruto and Theodora who were sitting with the library trio along with the Ojou-sama and her loyal bodyguard.

"Finally came, huh?" Naruto asked her with a grin as he stood up and she lightly pounded his shoulder.

"Didn't think I could do it?" she questioned.

"Well, it is Eva-chan…" he trailed off with a laugh, getting Asuna to groan.

"Don't remind me, what a hardass." She mumbled, before grinning at him, "So, training huh?" she asked challenging.

"Ooh," the tomboy said, "I think I can handle what you got."

Eva looked at that with a small look.

"Come on, guys," Haruna said, her fist clenched, "Let's do this!" she threw her hand in the air, as everyone else did so too.

"To find Negi and Naruto's dad!"

"YAY!"

Asuna and Setsuna were currently sparring with each other, to help sharpen Asuna's swordplay.

"Hey, Setsuna-san, do you think Eva-chan's acting weird?"

"Evangeline-san?"

"Yeah, I've noticed that she's been glaring at me a lot…and I don't think it's about Naruto." Asuna stated as she parried and spun around with a counter strike, making Setsuna leap back for some distance.

"I think it's just your imagination," the crow girl waved off, "But I must admit," she smiled to her friend, "You've really improved Asuna-san and at such an amazing rate as well." She praised.

"Huh? Really?" Asuna asked, cheeks pink with embarrassment.

"Yes." Setsuna nodded seriously, "Combining your skill to use the complex skill of Kanka and you natural ability to cancel out magic, if you continue to train…I believe you will become more powerful than any of us." She said, getting Asuna to go wide eyed.

"No way, come on!"

"I'm serious!" the Hanyou stated as she went for an overhead strike as Asuna, pivoted to the side and went for a strike, but the black haired girl blocked it, "The same goes for this club. To create a club like this to act proactively…I've spent my whole life following orders, I would have never though of it. I'm impressed!" she said, going for a slash that Asuna block as they were in deadlock, "I have a new found respect for you." As they pushed away.

Asuna, who let her guard down, said, "Puhleeeze!" her face red, "What's with you, Setsuna-san? You're gonna make me blush." She stated as she was bonked on the head, "Gah!"

"Asuna! Setsuna-san!" Haruna shouted out as she, Konoha, Yue, and Nodoka walked towards them, all wearing Chachamaru's maid outfits, "This clubhouse is amazing."

Asuna rubbed the stinging bump on her head, "What's with the outfits?" she asked Haruna.

"Do I look cute, Set-chan?" Konoha asked with a spin, making Setsuna flush.

"Y-Yes, but for you to dress like a servant, Ojou-sama…" the protector trailed off.

"Aren't they rad?" the artist asked, "We borrowed them from Chachamaru's sisters." She went on about the hot spring, the sauna, the messages, and just the views the castle gave, "Seriously, I could lounge around here all summer!" she declared carefree-like.

Yue gave her own input, "Evangeline-san certainly is amazing, isn't she…considering she was once considered the most evil mage of her time, I kinda expected this of her."

"This is going to be the best summer ever!" Haruna danced on her feet in excitement and pointed at Asuna, "Thanks, Asuna! This was an amazing idea!"

"Plus, we're concentrating on getting all our homework done." Yue said, "So we can achieve our goal."

Konoha clapped her hands, an idea springing from her mind, "Guy! We need to pick a club chairman!"

"If so," Nodoka said softly, "I think Asuna-san would be the best choice." Making Yue nod.

"The best choice."

"Yes, since it was her idea to make the club," Setsuna nodded, making the girl in question scratch the back of her head with flushed cheeks.

"I mean, with how she handled the school festival and her leadership skills, it's fitting."

"Well, someone's gaining popularity, huh, Miss Chairman?"

"Geez," Asuna smiled lightly, looking embarrassed, "Well, if that's what you all think." She said, going along with it, "I guess I'm the chairman."

"Plus, she's dating Negi's older brother." Haruna giggled perversely.

"Wha-!" Asuna flushed, "Well, I, you, I mean-!"

"Oh? I thought you guys were a thing? Wait! Don't tell me Theodora got to him first!"

"Of course not!"

"Wait!" the artist stopped, her nose bleeding a bit, "Don't tell me you're sharing him?! Doing this and that at night, shades closed, sinning in the night…'Eya~, Naruto-kun~!' Like that?" the glasses girl eagerly asked, a lewd smile on her face, "Gah!"

Asuna had a vein on her forehead, her face was a scarlet color, and her fist was smocking after she pounded Haruna into the ground by her head with that current bum on it, "Stupid Paru!" she shouted.

"Okay, let's try again." Naruto instructed Asuna, whose face was beaded in sweat.

"I am trying." The Magic Canceler gritted out, a drip trickling down the top of her nose, "Doing Kanka ain't easy." She grumbled. Especially since Naruto or Negi weren't giving her magic, so, she had to do it on her own.

"Well, we could go with Eva-chan's plan, but I thought it might be a tad extreme for this type of training since I can be done like this too."

"What is it?"

"Oh, just throw you into the artic area with nothing but the clothes on your back and survive for a week. In fact, she was almost insistent on it," he mumbled at the end, rubbing his chin in thought.

Asuna's eye twitched, "Of course she would suggest something like that."

"Meh, we tossed Neg' and Kota in there, they ended up fine." Naruto shrugged listlessly.

"…What a great sensei and brother you are." The twintailed girl said dryly with a sweatdrop on the back of her head.

"Right?!" Naruto nodded, not hearing her dry tone, "And Neg' and Kota just whined a bit, until both Eva-chan and I tag teamed them in a fight. That shut'em up real fast."

Asuna could only stare at him, thankful that he wasn't that rough (barely) on her and what Paru playfully called, his 'harem'.

Which was absolute nonsense, pssh, like Naruto would have a harem. That was like saying Negi would have one.

Ha!

Currently, everyone was training.

Haruna was testing her combat drawings against Ku Fei, who was beating them down left and right.

Negi was assisting Yue and Nodoka with both magic and their artifacts, helping them utilize them better.

Setsuna was relaxing as she watched over Konoka as she healed some animals to better her healing magic skills. And convinced Setsuna to wear a maid costume.

Naruto thought she looked cute, especially with her hair down.

Kotarou was sparring with Ku Fei and Kaede, showing off some of his new moves.

Theodora was chatting with Evangeline about stuff, most likely embarrassing stories about Naruto.

Things got really exciting when Asakura, Sayo, and Chisame came around to the resort.

"Asuna, Naruto," Konoka waved over, "Come on, we're going to party!" she declared, making the two dual colored eyed teenagers smile.

"So, a minor break?"

"Sure," Naruto nodded as they stood up, "We'll get this banged out in no time. Right now, let's enjoy the good while we can." He winked.

"Whatever blondie," Asuna smirked at him and dragged him by his arm to the party.

"Do I really have to be here?" Chisame complained, as Asakura winked at her.

"Come on, Chiu-chan, turn that frown upside down and have some fun."

"I was until you dragged me out of my room." The net idol told her blandly, but the reporter just waved her off.

"A toast!" Haruna exclaimed, "To the creation of the Negima club!"

"Cheers!"

"I still say the name sucks!"

"Oh be quiet Eva-chan! Mou!" Asuna shouted.

Done and done.

So, I will be doing small fillers until the magical word between my other works to show that this is not dead, just not my top priority. Now, the summer part will have two more chapters to it, I actually have an interesting plan for it, so, please be patient with me. TT_TT I feel like crying, you guys must hate me for delaying so long! Whaa!

Anyway, expect some more banter between Eva and Asuna, mainly about Naruto of course and don't think Theo won't join the party either, that Tomboy Princess.

R&R, no flames (I beg you you! XO), and peace off!
