Mahora for the Mad.

The story speaks for itself.

---

Walking down the hall with his big sister/cousin (Not incest...maybe.) Nekane and his childhood friend Anya, Negi was looking at his newly obtained diploma.

“I’m going to be a Fortune Teller in London, what about you Negi?”

“Hang-on it’s about to say.” They all gather around to watch the diploma develop. It read A Psychiatrist in Japan.

“What the...” Anya trailed off.

“MAAAAGUSSS!!!” Nekane and Anya screamed in unison.

A few minutes later.

“I’m sorry the diploma has decided and not even I – the Magus has the power to say otherwise. Dedicate yourself, Negi. Japan’s wrack-jobs are counting on you.”

“O-Oh...” Nekane let out as she fainted.

15 Minutes Later in a Hospital Room.

Nekane is in a bed, hooked to a respirator. “I guess I over reacted.”

“Just a tad.” Anya said in a sarcastic tone using her index finger and thumb to indicate a small amount.

“Well, big sister I gotta. I hope you get well some.”

Just then the Magus walks in. “Oh, Negi I was just looking for you. I have with me your designated familiar. I believe you know him.” Just then the familiar jumped out of the Magus’ beard.

“Big brother it’s been awhile.”

“Hey Chamo.”

“We have assigned you Chamo because you’re going to be going to a Crazy House, that and Chamo is a wiseass – a funny one at that and since we’re not going to have much to do except watch you, we figured we could use the laugh.” The Magus shrugged as he finished.

“Grandfather that’s not a nice way to speak of the mentally ill.” Negi scolded his elder. “Besides I’m not even sure how well I’ll do at this, I mean wouldn’t a job as a teacher or something like that be better for me?”

“Don’t worry big brother, I’m sure that you could handle this assignment after all you’ve been around crazies all your life.” Chamo points to Nekane and Anya.

“Chamo, that’s not nice.”

“Did that rat just insult us?” Anya asked.

“Who cares I’m just glad that someone will be keeping an eye on Negi.” Responded Nekane.

“Big brother we should be going now.”

“Of course.” Negi said and turned to Nekane and Anya “Goodbye and take care!” Negi shouted and waved to them.

“Um, Negi you don’t start your assignment for another few months.”

“Oh, yea, I forgot.”

Sometime Later In Japan

Negi has just arrived at the Mental Hospital known as Mahora Mad House.

“Greetings Negi-Kun” Negi turned to see who it was and found Takamichi.

“Oh, hey Takamichi. Are you here to show me around?”

“Yea, but before we go inside I should warn you to be careful. A lot of these girls mean well and most of them don’t have malicious intent towards others but that doesn’t mean they’re not harmless. And then there are those who you could call criminally insane, it’s best to stay away from these ones if you don’t have the proper personnel with you.”

“What do you mean by ‘proper personnel’?”

“There are many people who work here and it’s not really a manner of rank, I mean if one of the second type of girls were to get violent you would need someone that could keep them from hurting anyone including you. You do have a few of those girls to worry about so you should only be around them if someone is watching.”

“That’s kinda scary, huh big brother.” Chamo said.

“Yea, I know.” Negi replied.

“And one more thing Negi-Kun when you talk to Chamo like that you might want to make sure no one is looking, otherwise you’ll get locked up, and one thing about Mahora...it always has room for one more.”

Negi gave an audible gulp at Takamichi’s statement.

“Well, now that we got that all out of the way shall we continue?” Takamichi said as he began to walk towards the building.

Negi silently followed suit.

Inside Mahora

“All in all you are to look after twenty-six, scratch that, twenty-eight girls. Two were just added to you today, and just so you know, you may be looking at possibly five other girls joining.”

“That’s a little much, don’t you think Takamichi?”

“Yea but we’re under staffed, so everyone has more patients then they should. A friend of mine has over two-hundred patients, all most enough to drive him crazy. But we can continue this later. I have with me some files on the girls you’ll be in charge of, the one who’s names are in red are the ones that you shouldn’t see alone.” Takamichi handed the mentioned files to Negi.

“Let me take a look...Mana Tatsumiya is the first one I should see...but her names in red.”

“Luckily I’m one of those personnel I’d mentioned earlier. Now we should go to Block A - Room 318, and so you know, all of your patients are in Block A.”

Room 318

Upon entering the room Negi noticed that there was someone strapped down to a chair that was bolted into the ground.

Getting a good look at the person he noticed that it was indeed a woman. The woman was actually quite beautiful with dark tan-like skin, raven black hair and brown eyes and an unbelievable figure.

“Hello you must be the new Psychiatrist.”

“Yes I’m-”

“Negi Springfield, age – 9 ¾. You’re from Wales, you have an Older Sister named Nekane, you have a friend in London doing fortune telling and you idolize your father. Forgive me for not knowing more...it’s so hard to gather information when I’m stuck in here.”

“That’s...quite alright...” Negi said, thinking that it was a little creepy that she knew all this stuff.

“Negi-Kun.”

“Right, I need to continue. Anyway Miss...I mean Tatsumiya-San, I’m looking at your file and...WAIT!! You’re ‘The Gun-Ho Girl’?! The one that shot up everyone during a United Nations meeting!”

“Come now, you’re going to hurt my feelings. I don’t appreciate that nickname you know. Just ask Takahata what happened to the last person to call me that.”

When Negi turned to Takahata he saw a haunted look in his eyes, like he was re-living something terrible.

Giving his second audible gulp of the day Negi began his frantic apologies.

Halfway through, Mana interrupted him. “Save it. If I was going to do something, your words wouldn’t stop me. Just consider yourself lucky that you’re cute, kid. I’ll let it slide this time. Though you might want to watch yourself around the other girls, because you’re cute. If someone doesn’t keep an eye out for you, you might just end up as someone’s play thing. I’m a little interested in how you handle as a Joy Toy, myself.” After the last sentence Mana had a predatory look in her eyes as she flashed him a toothy grin.

Negi’s eyes – in true anime style – grew large and blank as sweat started to pour out of him. He may be only a kid but he knew what Mana meant by “Joy Toy” and he knew that’s not something he’ll want to be.

“I think we should go now, we can continue this later.” Takamichi said as he ushered Negi out the door and left.

Outside of Mana’s Room

“Sorry about that one, Negi-Kun. I guess I should have broken you in with a more friendly patient.”

“It’s...alright...I think.” Negi was apparently still shaken up.

“Well, I should introduce you to some of you’re co-workers.”

Reaching into his pocket Takamichi retrieved a small cell phone.

“It’s me; I’m here with the newbie so would you send down the other now? We’ll be in the Intro Hall.” Takamichi place the phone back in his pocket and turned to Negi. “Well we should be going now.”

Intro Hall

After a few minutes of waiting there was a knock on the door with which Takamichi replied “Come in”.

In entered four girls.

“Where are the others?” Takamichi asked.

“They were busy and couldn’t get out of what they were doing.” Replied one of the girls, this one carried a long holder of some sorts on her back. And if that didn’t grab a one’s attention then her sideway ponytail would.

“Well I guess I’ll just introduce the others later. Negi-Kun I would like you to meet these four young ladies.”

Takamichi pointed to the first girl who was the one that just spoke a moment ago. “This is Setsuna Sakurazaki.” Said girl gave a polite bow.

The next to be introduced was a rather large bosomed girl with long light brown hair and a beauty mark. “This is Chizuru Naba.” This girl gave a bright smile and a friendly wave.

The next was a blue, short haired girl. “This is Ako Izumi” She blushed a little and gave a small smile.

The last was a taller girl with long black hair. “This is Akira Okochi.” She just said “Hello”.

“The reason I’m introducing you to these girls is because you’re going to be working closely with them. In fact, you are going to be rooming with Naba-San and another one of the girls. You’ll be introduced to her later. But you should get some rest; I wasn’t expecting Tatsumiya to act that way. Either she really likes you or she really hates you.”

“But how would she know so soon?”

“She’s an interesting one. It was worked out that she would be committed here instead of jail time for her crime and she didn’t even enter in a plea bargain. Tatsumiya-San has some connections in high places so we keep a close eye on her. Anyway you really don’t need to concern yourself any farther with this for now I suggest you get some rest.”

“Okay, thanks.”

“I’ll show you to our room, then.” Chizuru said looking down at Negi. It could have been his imagination but he thought that there was something funny about the way she said “our” but he decided to just chalk it up to paranoia caused by his encounter with Mana.

---

Well that’s it for the first chapter. Yea I know, I made Mana a little more talkative and creepy and Shota for Negi at least. (Oo;)

When I mentioned this someone did say they wanted to see something with Chizuru, while I won’t say who it was or what they wanted because I want the readers to be surprised but I did find that the thing works quite beautifully in the story.

Also keep an eye out for my other Negima! Stories.

And remember to review, or I’ll send my personal army of Savage Man-Eating Geckos after you.
