I apologize to those who own/like/love/are any of the above as it seems like they became my sponsors without you being aware.
We are also proud to make it all the way to chapter 13! I never thought this story would go pass one! HFF is my longest Negima story at the moment, at an average of 2,200 words per chapter, and chapter 8 being 3000 words, I have successfully written 29,400 words according to my bad math. The next story closest to that mark would be my sappy KS story which is only a mere 5000 words. This is only half of my longest fanfic still alive however, which is 60,000 words. But both is nowhere near my longest story ever, a humour Beyblade story hosted by fanfiction.net which eventually died out because it was deleted after my hard drive was wiped. It was 100,000 words.
And unlike chapter 12, I actually liked writing this chapter and thought it came out well. At first, since the number was 13, I was thinking about writing more on Konoka, or KS since it was 1 and 3, or even Ayaka since today's her birthday, but I ended up doing very little of that. Ah well.
Without further ado, I present to you...Chapter 13!
Thank you for your attention, you may now continue your miserable lives.

Chapter 13: Trust
”So let me get this straight. We’re going on a death mission to kill a fox that for some stupid reason is living at the end of a maze within an active volcano that will erupt in five hours just so this tiny little rabbit that commands a lot of wolves and even a giraffe won’t kill four people I really don’t care about, and because of all this my tail has never been the same!?” Yuuna summarized nicely so the narrator didn’t have to.
Kazumi replied, “Yup! And the scary thing is we’re on the THIRTEENTH chapter!” (A/N: If you haven’t noticed by now, I love breaking the fourth wall)
There was a long pause, and then an over-exaggerated (that means REALLY exaggerated! =D) gasp proceeded to happen, as if it was some cheesy horror flick. Ako jumped onto the fur of Yuuna when that happened.
Ku Fei assured the frightened young chick, “No worries-aru! Ku Fei will protect all-aruka! I’ve fought off a cheetah before, arune!”
“How is that tail anyway? Looks painful to get bitten by a giant cat,” Kazumi noticed.
Yuuna looked ahead on their long road, “It’ll hold…it’s not a neck, at least.”
The sun had gone down half an hour ago, and it was night. They could hear the many animals that came out at night, preying for those who couldn’t see well as this time. Luckily, Ku Fei, as a cat, could see extremely well in the darkness, and so was the one walking in the front, leading the others towards the volcano.
”It’s getting warmer…”
The smell of brimstone started getting stronger, but before they could climb the cliff they were climbing (for some reason), there was an odd animal blocking the path towards the cliff. It seemed angry, very angry.
”Who goes there!?”
”Oh lookit, a pig, Ako!” Kazumi pointed, “We’re saved!”
”Whatddaya mean we’re saved?”
”Pigs are said to be very wise animals. They know everything, even the most efficient way to kill a fox.”
The ‘pig’ walked up to the travelling animals, and frowned at them, “You can’t pass here.”
”And why not, Mr.Pig?” Ako innocently asked.
”FIRST OF ALL, I AM NOT A BLOODY BOY, AND SECONDLY, I AM A WILD BOAR, NOT A STUPID DOMESTICATED PIG!” The not-pig yelled in very menacing way. Ako started crying.
Ku Fei asked, “What is with the latest animals we meet denying the type of animal they are-aru?”
”Are you saying I’m NOT an otter!?” Yuuna spat back at Ku Fei.
”I’ve never seen an ‘otter’ in my life, arune. They’re probably mythical animals! And you really want to be one so bad, that you claim that you are an otter-aru!”
Yuuna growled, “How would you like it if I called you a dog, Kuu?”
”What!? I’m not one of those slobbering idiots-aru!”
”We’re being very nice to Sakurako right now…” Kazumi added as she consoled the crying chick beside her.
The wild boar in front of them walked backwards from them a distance away, and then suddenly started to run straight for the four arguing—well, really two arguing animals and two birds—with her tusks facing straight forward.
”Um, guys…”
”How can you never see an otter in your life!? THEY’RE ALL OVER THE RIVERS!”
”THOSE ARE BEAVERS! BEAVERS-ARU!”
”Guys…”
”BEAVERS ARE THE ONES BUILDING ANNOYING DAMS WITH THEIR GIANT BUCK TEETH LIKE THAT MOUSE I SAW EARLIER!”
”NATSUMI IS A HAMSTER, YOU BEAVER-ARUYO!!”
”Hello?” Kazumi continued, although in vain.
”THAT’S IT! YOU WANT A FIGHT, HUH!? I HAVE AMAZING ACCURACY YOU KNOW!”
”Oh yeah! LIKE A BEAVER WITH A SCREWED UP LEG CAN FIGHT A CAT LIKE ME-ARUNE!”
”THE (BLEEP)ing BOAR IS ABOUT TO HIT US YOU (BLEEP)ing MORONS!!!!!!!!!” Ako suddenly yelled out quite unexpectedly, surprising all four creatures, even Ako herself.
Kazumi patted Ako on the head, “Good girl, even though you swore…”
”I learned it from Yuuna!”
THWACK!
Although it was far too late, even with the brave out-of-character action that Ako did. The four animals started flying into the air, and the wild boar was quite satisfied with herself. Amazingly, Ako did not fall onto the ground like everybody else, because at that moment, she began to FLY!
Kazumi watched the young chick land onto the ground, “I didn’t know chickens could fly…”
”Ha, and you’re SUPPOSED to know how to fly,” Ku Fei said, pointing out the obvious disability that Kazumi had since she had fallen onto the ground with the mammals.
Kazumi grumbled, and they all noticed the wild boar coming straight at them again. Apparently they were within the animal’s territory, and that was probably why it was angry.
Yuuna stood up and placed a paw in front of her like a construction worker on the road controlling the traffic, “Hold it! Why are you trying to kill us!?”
”Because you’re in my territory.”
”We just want to go through it-aruka!” Ku Fei said, “We’re on an important mission!”
”Where we’ll probably die,” Yuuna added.
The cat snapped, “What’s with your pessimistic attitude-arune!?”
”What’s with your ARUs, eh? I’m just being a realist!”
The wild boar stopped just before she hit them again, “This is pathetic, haha. You guys can’t do anything.”
”Oh yeah!?” Kazumi spoke up, “I challenge you to a competition, boar! If I win you’ll let us pass!”
”What kind of competition?”
”The competition…OF TRUTH!”
”…”
Ako poked Kazumi, “Oneechan, you’re being confusing.”
”No, I’m serious!” Kazumi started, and formed a fist with one wing, punching it into her other wing, “the point is to find out the truth, to find out something I don’t know! I’ll go first. I’ll start with figuring out…what your name is!”
Ku Fei sweatdropped, “That’s kind of…dumb, Kazumi.”
”I accept! Then I will start figuring out what YOUR name is!”
”Okay then! All is fair!”
”Wait, wait, Kuu just said your name…” Yuuna interrupted, “You’re going to lose this Kazumi…”
The wild boar said, “Then I’ll go first…is your name…Misora!?”
”What? No.” Kazumi replied.
”It ISN’T!? What!? I was told that someone named Misora was going to meet me today…no!”
Yuuna smacked her head.
Kazumi chuckled, “My turn! You’re name is…ASUNA!”
”…oh my god! HOW DID YOU KNOW!?”
”Canary skills.”
”Canary skills-aru!?” Ku Fei exclaimed.
Kazumi explained, “Us canaries have lots of skills, one of them is the special ability to miraculously escape cats, like you Kuu! There was one canary when I was young who especially improved upon this skill so much that he created a stereotype of us canaries, where we are immune to cats! And not only that, we can—“
”Will you SHUT UP!?” The boar yelled and smacked the canary, hard, with her tusks.
The yellow bird flew into the sky and smashed into a tree not far from the other creatures. She slid down like when my friend told me the tall tale of smacking a rabbit into a wall after she was bitten by it. They immediately ran towards the bird who looked incredibly broken up from that attack from the wild angry PMS-y boar.
”Kazumi! You alright-aru?”
”K-kuu…I can’t see anything except…d-darkness…”
”No! Don’t tell me—“
”I-I see a light, Kuu! It’s l-like…a l-long tunnel…”
”No Kazumi! Don’t go to the light! Don’t!!!” Yuuna yelled.
”It feels….s-so warm…s-so…”
”Oneechan?”
”I h-hear the c-chirping of…happy b-birds…”
”Kazumi?”
”…”
Ku Fei turned angrily at the wild boar standing not far from them. She was growling as loudly as ever.
”YOU (BLEEP!!!!)! YOU KILLED HER! YOU KILLED KAZUMI! I WAS SUPPOSED TO KILL HER-ARU! ME! THEN I WOULD FEEL TRIUMPHANT! THEN I COULD FINALLY EAT A CANARY THAT I CAUGHT AND HUNTED DOWN MYSELF-ARUYO!!!!”
In a roar that echoed throughout the entire forest, that even the dark rabbit and the others could hear, Ku Fei leapt at the boar with her greatest strength. There was an epic battle of mighty teeth and claws. To the otter and the chick standing there however, it looked like a corny dust-cloud battle as if it was a poorly-budgeted film. Ako turned to her departed sister and began to bawl her little eyes out. Yuuna sat down and watched it all in amazement.
”How the (bleep) did I get into this…”
Several minutes later, after the angry feline had a good beating of the boar, the canary stood up and dusted herself off, then yawned.
”Uh, oneechan?” Ako asked in a very confused stare.
”Oh wait…I forgot to say ‘psyche’, didn’t I? Um…PSYCHE!”
Yuuna sighed, “Forget it Kazumi, you lost the moment.”
”DAMN! Oh well, that was a nice power nap anyway.”
Ku Fei turned around and saw that her mortal enemy, also her friend, and her favourite dish, was alive and well. She noticed the boar getting up in an angry stare for being beaten for absolutely no reason. Asuna glared at the feline.
”I was going to eat her after, you know-arune.”
”I know, I know. It’s too bad she’s alive.”
There was a floating little spirit behind a tree nearby, who had just sighed in relief (Yes, again) after she thought she saw Kazumi apparently die. It was not the case. The little spirit had been following the four creatures throughout the whole trip, and even helped Yuuna escape from the jaws of a shotacon cheetah.
”I’ll tell Kazumi I’m here when things settle down…”
-
Meanwhile, back at ‘camp’, the Dark Evangel had gotten bored—again. She decided to play charades. Setsuna was acting out a word in front of everybody, apparently trying to get a message to the evil dark rabbit.
”Banana, de-gozaru!”
”A rod-desu?”
”Oh! I got it!” Sakurako yelled out, “A POLE!!!”
Setsuna growled and kept trying.
”Don’t tell me it’s something ECCHI!?”
Setsuna yelled, “NO! OJOU-SAMA! I WAS ACTING OJOU-SAMA!”
”’Konoka’ is not a word.”
”Don’t you know how to play charades? It can be anything.”
”Oooh, whoever expected it to be—“
”Look, the point is, I want you to FREE Ojou-sama.”
The rabbit smirked, “Like that would happen. Who’s next?”
Kotaro stood up, and then made some motions with his paws. Everyone was bewildered at what it could be. So Kotaro tried to do the same thing, but with a stronger motion, as if he was getting frustrated.
”I don’t get it…that doesn’t look like anything.”
”Oh! I think I got it! A banana, de-gozaru!”
”Or maybe a rod-desu?”
”IT MUST BE A POLE! A POLE!” Sakurako cried out.
Setsuna said, “You’re all guessing the same things you guessed for mine…”
”Then this time it MUST be ecchi!”
Kotaro pointed at a tree and then made a circular motion.
”A hippie being sawed in half because he’s chained to a tree trying to save the environment and the guy that wants to saw it in half wants to cut the tree down so bad he doesn’t care about all the blood and guts and the life of the hippie and so cuts him too?” Sakurako suddenly replied.
”…wow, you’re right!”
Nodoka asked, “B-but…who could’ve f-figured that out?”
The giraffe entered the scene holding a coconut filled with delicious water from Yuuna’s old river. She gave it to the dark rabbit.
”Say, Dark Evangel, do you have a proper name, de-gozaru?” Kaede asked.
The rabbit replied, “I do. I’m called Evangeline, my loyal giraffe here is called Chachamaru, and there are too many wolves with too many stupid names so they’re unimportant and we won’t name them.”
”Ah, I see…”
Evangeline started again, “This is quite fun though. Creatures doing things for me, and playing games with me just because I hold a few hostages, I should do this more often.”
”You WILL give them back, right?”
”Well I’m evil, whatever I tell you will be a lie, which basically means no, I won’t give them back.”
Setsuna suddenly cried out, “What!?”
”Once I capture hostages, they’re definitely going to die. In fact I’m pretty sure they’re dead already, since it’s been such a long time.”
”You…I’ve failed Ojou-sama…you evil (bleep)…”
”Ha, what are you going to do?”
Kotaro stood up and approached the rabbit from behind, angry.
Setsuna yelled out, “YOU WILL DIE FOR MURDERING MY BELOVED OJOU-SAAAAAAMAAA!!!”
The crane and the wolf both jumped at the rabbit at the same time, yelling out war cries like it was nobody’s business. They were soon stopped by a giraffe.
”Geez, you animals are stupid. I just said that I’m evil and I LIE all the time. You honestly believe what I just said was the TRUTH!?”
”W-well…what if what you just said THEN was a lie?”
”Oh, you mean that me claiming I lie all the time is a lie? Wow, that’s a very confusing concept, wolf, and why have you gone against me anyway? Weren’t you one of MY wolves?”
Kotaro only growled.

After that crazy incident with Ku Fei yelled at Kazumi for a prolonged period, they decided to move on since they had just wasted an hour. As they approached the cliff to climb up, a sudden rock slide decided to conveniently fall on them. They all cried out in fear in the little microseconds from the point of seeing the rocks falling to the very moment before the giant boulders fell on them. Asuna laughed from the distance.
A little revealed herself from behind a tree when she saw the rocks fall on the four adventurous animals. She floated closer to the unmoving pile of rocks. The boar had apparently tricked them and wanted to get back to the cat especially from the pointless beating. The little ghost squeaked in a shocked expression.
”Kazumi, you didn’t actually die this time, did you?”
-
Fact: I was listening to “Seinaru Sora no shita de” when Setsuna screamed that Evangeline will die for murdering Konoka.
Anyway, cliffhangers are very amusing to do. I liked writing this chapter, unlike the last one. =) My stupid fan keeps squeaking, and it’s very irritating. >>
”So let me get this straight. We’re going on a death mission to kill a fox that for some stupid reason is living at the end of a maze within an active volcano that will erupt in five hours just so this tiny little rabbit that commands a lot of wolves and even a giraffe won’t kill four people I really don’t care about, and because of all this my tail has never been the same!?” Yuuna summarized nicely so the narrator didn’t have to.
