"What's wrong, Konochan?" Setsuna whispered.
"Nothing. Just cold."
Setsuna looked up and around them at everybody else on the train. Everyone was wearing their summer uniforms and a quick look out the window would show green trees and bushes rushing by..
"Konochan it's easily 80 degrees right now."
"So." Konoka replied and snuggled closer.
Setsuna just smiled at the goofy grin on the cute face in front of her.
Across the way Asuna looked over to her two friends. "Hey Negi, I know they're close but this is starting to look like some kind of teen romance flick."
"Now Asuna, you know it's not polite to start rumors about people" Negi chastised the red head.
"I know but there is something going on."
"Well maybe but, it's up to them to share and not for you so speculate. Now is it? Besides, what would Takahata-Sensei say if he knew you was coming up with things like this?"
Asuna turned to the teacher.
"He's not my teacher anymore so what does that have to do with anything?"
The trolley finally arrived at the station for Mahora Academy for Girls. The mad dash of the girls around the four friends seemed to be just background noise. Skating by on her trusty rollerblades Konoka looked over to see Asuna and Setsuna keeping pace with out seeming to break a sweat.
"Secchan you have so much energy this morning."
Setsuna glanced over to girl on skates.
"I've just added so much liquid protein to my diet lately. It just gives me that extra kick." with a wink Setsuna turned back to keep pace with the teacher and red-headed teacher.
Konoka stopped mid stride, lost in complete confusion.
"Liquid protein?" Shaking her head she continued on to catch up to her friends.
Arriving on campus Negi quickly disappeared into the teacher's lounge motioning the trio to head on to class without him. The moment the door to their homeroom class was opened the chaos of the day had already begun. Mostly surrounding the fact that Setsuna's desk was out of place and still sticky from the night before. Before she had time to register what was happening she was rushed by the class Rep. "Sakurazaki-san, Do you know what happened here and why is your desk so messed up? I demand to know what is going on!" the blond hollard. From the behind her felt a hand grasp her shirt tightly. Looking back she saw a worried expression on Konoka's face. Turning to face Yukihiro-san, she could hear the murmurs of the other girls in the class.
"Considering the state of this desk and the smell this morning I bet our little swords girl GOT IT ON! So who was the lucky guy? Where did you meet him? Was it at the tournament? Did you sneak him back from Mars? Details Girl!" The girl named Haruna Saotome was practically salivating at the prospect of one of the quietest girls in the class having a moment with some unknown guy in the class of all places. "How naughty! How big was he? Did it hurt? Did he cum inside or out?"
Standing ramrod straight and blushing red from her chest up past her hairline. Setsuna seemed to have passed out on her feet. This seemed to be enough confirmation for the entire class to start a whole new buzz.
"I wonder who it was that got her?"
"Is she part of any clubs that mingle with the High School?"
"What about her work for the school?"
"Could it have been one of the staff?"
After that last question the class got quiet. Twenty-Eight pairs of eyes slowly turned to Setsuna.
"NO! I refuse to believe it! I Ayaka Yukihiro must keep you away from Negi-sensei!" Ayaka moved to march up to Setsuna.
"Keep me away from who? Class Rep-san?" Negi walked in passing Setsuna who was still standing in the door. "What is everybody still standing around for? I'm about ready to start class...what are you all staring at me for?" Negi looked over the classroom and noticed a fair amount of the girls standing around one desk in particular. "What is this all about?" Asking as he moved toward the desk in question. "Setsuna-san, Do you know who did this? I'll need to know to report it as student harassment. I will not tolerate any of my students being demeaned in any ways. Please find me a wash cloth I'll clean this up. At that Setsuna was knocked back to her senses as she felt Konoka grip her from behind knowing that Negi was about clean up her mess from last night. "Secchan.."
"Negi-kun!" Setsuan called out. "Please let me handle that. I'll be right back don't let anybody touch that!" Setsuna turned and bolted out the door to retrieve the necessary supplies.
"Alright everybody back to your desks please." Negi turned back to where Konoka was still standing in the hallway. "Konoka-san? Are you alright?" Staying silent she just shook her head. "Would you prefer to go to the infirmary?" Nodding once she just turned and left.
"Negi-kun!" Negi exhaled deeply and turned to address the artist in front of him. "Negi-kun! Is it true you deflowered our swords woman last night?"
Standing lock still there was a chance that a random soft breeze could knock him over. "WHAT! What...who?! Where did you get that crazy idea from? Why would you think I would do something so indecent with a student! I know we are partners but here she is still my student! I am still a gentleman and a gentleman would never lay his hands on a lady like that. Now go to your seat and stay there till we are done for the period." Turning to the rest of the standing class he looked at all the other still standing there. "That goes for the rest of you as well."
At that moment Setsuna arrived with towels and washbottle in hand. "Negi-sensei, I'll take care of my desk now." She made quick work of cleaning up Konoka's dried liquids on the surface of her desk. A short peek over to Konoka's desk revealed that her lover was not at her assigned desk. "Negi-sensei? Where is Konoka-ojousama?"
"Oh she just went to the infirmary seemed to be still a little ill from this morning." Negi called after her as she sprinted out of the classroom after the word "Infirmary" left his lips.
"Oh well, this gives me time to talk to you about keeping rumors to yourselves."
