7:45 a.m.
Sakurazaki house
Konokka waited outside the Sakurazaki house for her beloved protector, Setsuna. She was there for nearly 3 mnutes. She was there to take Setsuna with her to the Mahora Academy. They always go to school together every school days. Finally, Setsuna opened the door and showed up in front of her princess. "Are you ready, Ojou-sama?" she asked with a smile.
"Yes, Set-chan, I'm ready?" Konoka smiled back.
"Okay, let's go now."
As the two walked directly to their school, Setsuna talked to Konoka about the reason for coming to academy very early. "Hey, Ojou-sama..."
"What is it, Set-chan?"
"Why do we have to come to school so early?"
"Well, I was told by Asuna to come to school early so that we can clean our classroom before the the classs starts. Of course, you do remember what happened to our classroom last nght, right?"
"Yes, I remember. Last night, we along with some of our classmates went on a ghost-hunting until Fuuka and Fumika made a mess in our classroom by exploding a balloon full of baby powder. Don't know why but there was no ghost in there other than Sayo. Sayo did came along with us."
The two finally arrived near the academy and met up with Asuna and Ayaka.
----------
----------
Part from the 1st episode:
Asuna told Konoka and Setsuna that Ayaka would be their teacher for a while. She also told to them that the reason for this was because Ryu needed Negi's help for his mission. The four girls then went inside their room and cleaned it in a jiffy. While they sat down and relaxed for few minutes, Konoka asked Setsuna if she would like to go out with her. She brought up two tickets for the Magical Land which is a Mahora amusement theme park or carnival. Setsuna quickly accepted it, added that she wanted to advance their relationship further.
----------
----------
1:15 p.m.
Hallway
After recess, Konoka met up again with Setsuna. She showed one of the tickets for the carnival to her. "Here's your ticket, Set-chan," she said as she handed over the ticket to Setsuna, "Come to my apartment at 2:00 p.m."
Setsuna took the ticket. "Thank you, Ojou-sama. I'll meet you there." she thanked her with a smile before leaving her princess.
----------
----------
1:30 p.m.
Sakurazaki house
Setsuna went back to her house very quickly. Obviously, she really wanted to come to her princess' apartment before the time of arrival and she didn't want her to wait even before te requested time. "Welcome back, my skilled daughter." her father greeted her, describing her as she walked pass by from him.
Setsuna went to her room and picked up the clothes she wanted for their date. She took off her school uniform and wore her hand-picked clothes. She wore a pink buttonless shirt, a blue skirt, white, long socks which reached her thighs and brown shoes. She then left her room.
She came across to their living room and her father came to her. He asked, "Hey, what's the rush, dear?"
He looked at her daughter's outfit and seemed to be awed. "Oh, I see," he said, guessing why she was in a hurry, "You're going out again with Ojou-sama, huh?"
"Yes, father," Setsuna replied, "How do I look?"
"Why, you look magnificent, you 'Next-generation Ryu Hayabusa'." he answered with a great impression, wanting her daughter to be like the Super Ninja.
"Thanks, dad," Setsunba was glad, "but please don't call me that. Ryu's a ninja and I'm a samurai."
"Well, alright," her father promised, "but promise me that you'll become just like him, okay?"
"I promised." Setsuna promised back.
Before she could go outside, her father stopped her and said, "Wait a minute, I almost forgot."
What it is, dad?" Setsuna turned around and looked at him.
Her father revealed something to her daughter that would make her surprise....and force her to ready herself for that something. "The leader of Mugen Tenshin, Kokoro, came in while you were at school." he informed.
"The leader of Mugen Tenshin?" Setsuna was surprised after hearing that name.
"Yes. She told me that some DOATEC mercenaries might invade the Magical Land. The three elite ninjas, Kasumi, Hayate and Ayane were assigned to take those adversaries out and right now, those three should be somewhere in the carnival. You're going to carnival, right?"
"Um, yes..." Setsuna responded quietly.
Her father walked to a chest and brought up something from it. "Here you go," he brought up her katana, the sword that she always brings in school that is covered by a long cloth, "if you're going to be like that Super Ninja, you must come to a battlefield armed and ready. It's okay to come empty-handed but that's not always the best way and it can be a suicide for your age. Kokoro told me to have you ready for the invasion."
"Understood, father," she replied respectfully as she grabbed her katana from her father, "as a member of the Sakurazaki family, I won't let you down and I won't die on you."
"That's the spirit," he was happily pleased and smiled, "now go and have a nice day with Ojou-sama!"
Setsuna opened the door and left the house. her father taught in his mind a bit worried but had a small amount of confidence.
----------
----------
1:47 p.m.
Konoe house
It was a reversed mirror image from earlier morning as Setsuna waited outside the Konoe house for her princess. Konoka expected her beloved protector to arrive early and came out. She was wearing the very same clothes she wore when she took her teacher Negi on picking up a brand new alarm clock for Asuna. She had her purse as well. "I knew you would come very early, Set-chan." she expected.
Setsuna blushed a little after looking at her. "You look wonderful, Ojou-sama." she said in awe, staring at her.
"You too, Set-chan," Konoka returned, "you look very wonderful today. I've never seen you wear something like that."
"Thank you, Ojou-sama." Setsuna blushed more.
"Hey um, Set-chan..." she said, a bit nervous.
"What is it, Ojou-sama?" Setsuna asked, her face lost red.
"Can we go to some places first before going to the carnival?"
Setsuna startled when she heard that place. She remembered when her father told her that some DOATEC mercenaries might invade the carnival they were going. A thought occured in her mind, ‘I sure do hope that those guys take those goons out. That way, me and Ojou-sama should have no problem with our date.’
"Well, Set-chan," Konoka asked her, causing Setsuna to focus back on her question a while ago, "Can we go to some places first before the carnival?"
"Yes, Ojou-sama," she answered and then asked "which place would you like to go first?"
"Well, I want to go to the ice cream bar first."
"Okay then, let's go!"
As the two headed to the ice cream bar, Konoka's left hand grabbed Setsuna's right hand, holding hands. She held her hand firmly. Setsuna blushed again as she felt a small amount of warmth from her princess' hand.
----------
----------
1:50 p.m.
Ice cream bar
"Well, here we are, Set-chan." They made it to the ice cream and went inside. They found some seats near the glass window. Konoka sat on one and Setsuna sat on the seat in front of Konoka. Konoka picked up a menu list of ice creams and looked for the kind of ice cream they would order. The blue-haired samurai looked at her and blushed again, this time a little. "So...um, Ojou-sama," she muttered nervously,
"what ice cream have you selected?"
"I've selected a strawberry ice cream with a chocolate syrup, a cherry and a wafer stick on it. What about you Ojou-sama? What ice cream would you like?"
"Same ice cream." Setsuna answered quietly.
A waitress came to them. "Hello there, girls! May I take your order?" she asked politely with a smile.
"We would like two ice creams with chocolate syrup, a cherry for each and wafer sticks on them, please." The brown-haired girl ordered their ice cream of choice.
"Alright," the waitress uttered as she wrote their order down on her notepad, "your ice creams should be here in any minute."
Konoka looked at her left side and saw two handsome boys. She seemed to recognize them. "Hey, Set-chan," she spoke to her protector, "do you see what I see?"
Setsuna turned her attention to the two boys Konoka was looking and recognized them as well. "Yeah, I see those two boys you looking at and they looked familiar to me."
"Those two boys right over there are two of Ryu's friends, the great Jeet Kune Do artist Jann Lee and Gen Fu's apprentice Eliot."
As the two lovers watched them, Lee and Eliot were eating their ice creams properly. "Hey, Eliot." Lee spoke to his friend as he took a bite from his ice cream.
"What is it, buddy?" Eliot asked friendlily in his British voice before taking a bit from his own ice cream.
"Have you seen Ryu earlier?"
"No, I haven't."
"Heh, I bet he went out with Kasumi again."
"Maybe you right but it's obvious to me and other DOA fighters that he went on another mission."
"Well I hope I'm right. They really make a cute couple."
"Why do you want to see them as a couple when you already have Lei Fang on your side?"
"If you must know, me and Hayabusa became friends since the 4th DOA Tournament and I have to admit that he's stronger than me. He maybe but I can be equal with him in fighting skills and strength and we were a great tag team. We also have feelings for the two girls we love, me to Lei Fang and him to Kasumi. When I asked him about his feelings for her, he said he didn't have but I believe he just didn't want to talk about it and there's no doubt that he has. I was right when I saw him hanging out with her few weeks ago and it really made me feel a little obssess to see them that."
"So that's why you like seeing those two as couple."
"Exactly."
"I'm done with my ice cream," Eliot said while he put his spoon down and wiped all dried ice cream drop near his lips off with a napkin, "hurry up. We have other places to go."
"Sheesh, just sit there and wait. I'm almost done."
Lee had finished eating his ice cream and the two boys stood up from their seats. As they looked to their right side, they saw Konoka and Setsuna. "Hey Lee," Eliot realized them just like how the girls mentioned them, "do you recognized those two girls over there?"
Lee looked at them and recognized them too, "Yeah, I have met those two before."
The two girls were noticed by them and reacted after being seen. The males approached towards them. "Hello there, Konoka and Setsuna." Eliot greeted them friendly.
"Hello, Eliot-san and Lee-sama." the girls greeted them back.
"Have you girls seen Ryu?" the Jeet Kune Do expert asked, hoping that his guess he made earlier would be right.
"We didn't catch up with Ryu but Asuna and Ayaka told us that they met him earlier morning." Konoka responded. She then informed Lee the one he wasn't looking for, "They told us that he was on a mission and needed Negi's help."
"Ah, man." Lee felt disappointed but wasn't upset. He was still happy as if he enjoyed another DOA battle.
"Hah! See, I told you." Eliot said to his friend sarcastically.
The waitress returned with the girls' order, "Here you go, girls."
"Thanks for the info girls. Enjoy your meal!" the two boys walked away from the girls and left the ice cream bar.
"Let's eat!" Konoka picked up her spoon and started to eat her ice cream. Setsuna did the same thing as well. The girls ate a small portion of their ice creams and began to eat their wafer sticks. Then, they continued to eat their ice creams. They were almost done eating as Setsuna ate her cherry. She waited for her brown-haired princess to finished her ice cream. Konoka placed a cherry on top her spoon which had a spoonful of ice cream portion on it. Konoka was going to eat it but instead, she looked at her beloved samurai and decided to held it out for
Setsuna to eat. Setsuna blushed as she could feel herself succumbing to eat it.
"Say 'ahh', Set-chan." Konoka convinced her to eat it.
Undeniably, Setsuna opened her mouth slowly and nervously. Konoka then moved her spoon, with a ice cream portion on it, into Setsuna's mouth and fed her with it. Konoka moved it away and smiled at her.
The young samurai felt butterflies in her stomach as she looked at her almost dreamingly.
"Did you like, Set-chan?" Konoka asked happily as she stared at Setsuna.
"Um, yes, Ojou-sama." Setsuna replied nervously, crooned and blushed furiously. She then asked her with a question of her own, "So, what place do you want to go next?"
"Hmmm..." Konoka thought for a moment, looking at the outside, "I want to buy some clothes. Let's go to the mall."
The waitress came to them, trying to obtain their payment, "Glad you finished your ice creams. And now, for your payment please."
Konoka gave the exact payment to her. "Thank you for coming to our ice cream bar. Hope you two would come back." the waitress said thankfully.
"You're welcome." Konoka gladly welcomed.
"C'mon Set-chan. Let's go to the mall." the lovers stood up and left the bar.
----------
----------
2:00 p.m.
Magical Land
While Konoka and Setsuna left the ice cream bar, Hayate, Kasumi and Ayane made it to the Magical Land. They looked around the park and saw no presence of their targeted enemies, the DOATEC mercenaries. Apparently, the DOATEC mercenaries were sent to invade the carnival so that they could alarm the ninjas. They were sent by the chairman of the evil organization, Victor Donovan. It's obvious that Donovan wants to get his hands on Mugen Tenshin Hajin-Mon Ninja Clan after the assault they made to the DOATEC Tritower and in particular, himself. But Mugen Tenshin isn't the target he mostly aims; his mostly aimed target is none other than the ninja who nearly killed him, Ryu Hayabusa.
He hasn't forgetten the attack Ryu made to him three months ago. While Hayate and Ayane were destroying the DOATEC Tritower and Kasumi was fighting her evil clone Alpha-152, Ryu took on three DOATEC special airships. One of them had Donovan inside. Hayabusa destroyed the two other airships and when he launched the 'Wind Torn Sky Blast' fireball on the last airship, which the last one had Donovan in it, Donovan ejected himself out of it immediately before he could become a pile of ashes along with the airship. Ever since then, he wants to get his filthy and diabolical hands on the Super Ninja.....very badly. But so far, he has failed in doing so. Particularly because of his stupid mercenaries getting knocked out by Ryu and his ninjas buddies. The reason why he sent his DOATEC Henchmen is so that not only they could alarm the ninjas but to draw Ryu's attention as well. Unknowingly, he and his henchmen weren't aware that Ryu didn't came along with the three as he went on a different assignment with Negi.
"That's funny. I don't see any DOATEC mercenaries around." Hayate said wonderingly, seeing no presence of their enemies. The three ninjas were near the ferris wheel ride. They were dressed in street clothes, trying to be less conspicuous to everyone in the carnival.
"Maybe it's because we arrived too early." Ayane surmised.
"Maybe you're right, sis," Kasumi affirmed, "but we should wait. We don't know when they'll show up but we should be patient."
Unexpectedly, Hayate's cell phone rang. He reached out for it in his pocket. "Hello, this is Hayate speaking."
"Hayate, it's me, Kokoro," the person on the other line was the newest leader of their clan, "have you guys arrived at the carnival?"
"Yes, ma'am. We've arrived at the carnival but we saw no enemies as we speak."
"Well, according to Eliot's sources, there were two mercenaries arrived in the carnival just 5 minutes ago. Those mercenaries were in street clothes in order to get there without being noticed. They arrived early to check the area if there are some ninjas around. Luckily, they haven't saw you guys and right now, they go to the locker room to disguise themselves in mascots and to get in contact with their allies.
Their allies will be there in just few minutes. You better get there before they can leave the room. After which, disguise yourselves."
"Ah, yes. The element of surprise. One of our oldest tricks in our Mugen Tenshin Book."
"Oh yeah, I almost forgot."
"What is it?"
"Have Konoka and Setsuna arrived?"
"No, they haven't."
"You guys better keep an eye on them. We don't want to have their lives endanger by our stupid adversaries."
"Affirmative."
"Well, I'm going to go now. See you guys later."
Hayate placed his phone back to his pocket and the three ninjas headed to the changing room where the two mercenaries were reported heading to the changing room.
----------
----------
Konoka and Setsuna were heading to the mall to buy some clothes. While they were heading straight to the mall, Konoka saw something on Setsuna's right cheek, "Hey, Set-chan."
"What is it, Ojou-sama?" Setsuna looked at Konoka's cute face.
"You got an ice cream drop on your cheek."
"An ice cream drop?" Setsuna realized and felt it, "Oh yes, I forgot to wipe it out."
The samurai reached out for her hanky until her princess stopped her, grabbing her right arm. She decided to insist, "Let me wipe it out for you."
Konoka held Setsuna's face and intentionally licked the ice cream drop off of her right cheek clean! Setsuna could feel Konoka's tounge touching and licking her cheek! It was the same thing she did to Negi when they were buying a new alarm clock for their room; she noticed a ice cream drop on Negi's right cheek and licked it off. Setsuna blushed furiously again until her cheek was crimson red and shook rapidly.
"O-o-o-jou-s-s-sa-ma...." Setsuna uttered agitatingly.
"You're clean now, Set-chan." Konoka said with a smile as she moved her hands away from her protector.
"Th-th-thank you, O-o-ojou-s-sa-ma." Setsuna thanked, still shaking and her face was still glowing red, this time a little.
The two lovers continued heading to the mall. Few minutes later, they made it to the mall and entered.
----------
----------
The three ninjas finally made it to the locker room, just outside of it. Hayate peeked at the room and saw the DOATEC mercenaries dressed in mascots. The mascots they wore were the same mascots that were worn by Asuna and Yue while Negi and Nodoka had a date in the carnival. Luckily for Ryu's best friend, the enemies didn't see him; they were wearing their mask as he looked upon them. They were also facing the wall. The ninjas began to sneak behind them stealthily and beat them up with an inch of their lives. The two mercenaries were knocked out unconsciously and laid flat on their back almost lifelessly. Hayate and his sisters began to take off their mascot outfits. Kasumi and Ayane were very disturbed when they saw the two mercenaries they knocked out didn't wear anything underneath except for their underwear.
"I guess Kokoro was right. Our adversaries are stupid." Hayate said sarcastically, taunting at their fallen opponents.
"You can say that again, bro." Kasumi replied as she looked away, didn't want to look at the men they had stripped.
"Well, we can't just leave them here laying," Ayane realized, looking away from their foe as well, "if we leave them laying down, someone might come over and suspect something. We can't leave a single trail, ya know."
"Don't worrry, I got a plan." Hayate confided as he brought up a chalk from his pocket. He quickly drew a circle around their KOed enemies.
He then moved away from them and performed a Mugen Tenshin Technique by chanting two Japanese words and performing a hand gesture at the same time by crossing his two fingers with another set from his other hand, "YUSOU GIKOU!" (which means 'transportation technique' in English)
Afterwards, a circle of light emitted from the drawn circle and after a few seconds, the enemies were vanished! The noise of the technique was very soft. "Um, bro. Where did you transported them?" Kasumi wondered.
"I have transported them to our ninja fortress, my good ol' kunoichi sis." Hayate answered.
"Why did you transported them there?" this time, Ayane asked, looking at her big brother.
"Hence, we can get some info from these clowns," Hayate responded confidingly, "I was told by Kokoro to transport at least two DOATEC mercenaries to our fortress before our mission got started."
"No wonder you're full of surprises, brother." Ayane smirked as she crossed her arms over her chest.
"I'm always full of surprises, my other gool ol' kunoichi sis." Hayate gladly welcomed, smiling at his half-sister, "now all we need to do is to disguise ourselves to be less conspicuous."
Kasumi looked at the mascots they had stripped from the two agents few seconds ago and seemed to want not to wear one of them whatsoever, "There are only two of them so one of us will NOT be wearing one of these silly mascots and the others will be wearing those."
Hayate grinned and gave his chestnut-haired sister a sinister-like look, "Oh, one of us will not be wearing and the others will be wearing those alright."
----------
----------
2:12 p.m.
The two lovers brought several clothes and swimsuits and went to a nearby changing area. Konoka wanted to put on all of the clothes they brought and pose in front of her protector with new clothes dressed. Setsuna sat on a chair as Konoka went under the curtain, took off her clothes and put on the new ones. After few minutes, she came out and posed in front of Setsuna. "How do I look, Set-chan?" she asked, giving her lover a beautiful smiling face.
Having a great sense of fashion, Setsuna took a long glance at her princess before making a positive comment, "You're look so...wonderful."
"Thank you, Set-chan." Konoka gladly welcomed. She went back again, put on the other new ones and posed again, as if it was a fashion show. She did this several times and everytime she posed, Setsuna glared for a moment before comment. At the 7th time however, Setsuna gasped a little and her eyes were wide when she saw Konoka wearing a tight swimsuit that highlighted her various curves. Setsuna gazed at her with great astonishment. "How do I look this time, Set-chan?"
Setsuna was speechless as her jaw dropped slowly. "I'll take that as a yes." Konoka spoke as she went back under the curtain and changed again. After a minute, she came out and Setsuna was filled with even greater astonishment. Konoka was wearing a sexier bikini. Her bikini top was two small squares of cloth and and the strings barely held her back. Her bikini bottom was the same as her top, with the strings barely holding her hips. She asked Setsuna with the same question.
Setsuna was again speechless and stared at her beautiful body with amazed eyes. "Well," Getting impatient, Konoka spoke again as she moved closer to her, bent her knees and her head was the same level as Setsuna's, "How do I look this time, Set-chan?"
The raven-haired swordsman then stared at the beautiful curves of her princess' breasts before she finally replied, "You looked so sexy, Ojou-sama!"
Konoka smiled at her, welcoming her comment. Setsuna nearly had a nosebleed. Konoka realized that she wore all of the clothes they brought and said, "I believed I have tried all of the new clothes, Set-chan. I'll go change again and after this, we can now go to the carnival."
"But what about the clothes we bought, Ojou-sama?"
"Don't worry, Set-chan. One of my family's bodyguard will come near the carnival before 3:00 p.m.. He should be there before that time and we better be there before the time as well."
The two paid all of the wore clothes with enough payment, left the mall and set their sights on going to the carnival.
----------
----------
While Konoka had a great fashion statement back in the mall (in front of Setsuna), Hayate’s sisters weren’t. Kasumi and Ayane felt extremely embarass after being forced to wear funny mascots by their brother Hayate. Their brother on the other hand was wearing a security staff member outfit. Obviously, the girls didn't like that they were forced to wear those silly carnival costumes.
"I can’t believe I have to wear this idiotic outfit!" Kasumi growled, feeling embarass. She wore the orange mascot that was once worn by Asuna a long time ago.
"Oh, c’mon sis. What's wrong with wearing a cool mascot? You look great," Hayate said in a father-like manner as he covered his mouth with his right hand and looked away, trying to surpress himself from laughing at his own sisters, "and don't worry. There are no other ninjas in this place and our enemies won't laugh at you girls. I swear to lord that they won't."
"Oh really. Then why are you covering your mouth, bro? And why are you dressed in a security staff member outfit? That’s so unfair!"
Ayane huffed and felt like she was being humiliated by her half-brother. Like her sister, she wore the blue mascot that was once worn by a student of Negi, only this time by Yue. Both ninjas still wore their ninja gears and clothes underneath their disguise.
"That's because all the security staff in this carnival are all males." Hayate replied and seemed to have a good point.
"Oh please. That may be easy for you to say but you just can't say that you don't want to be embarass, right?" Kasumi disapproved her brother's reason, thinking that her chestnut-haired brother was just simply lying.
Hayate deeply sighed and desperately tried to change the subject. "Look girls. We should be focusing on our mission. We didn't come here as if we're having a school play or something. I know you girls are feeling a bit embarassed because you're wearing such silly costumes but don't let that get into your head. It's just for one day only." he acted like a father at the girls.
His sisters took a deep sigh before gave up, "Yes, brother..."
"I guess he's got a point there, big sis." Ayane looked at Kasumi and gave her sister a short smile.
"I glad you understand, my kunoichi sisters. Now let's go outside and keep an eye out on those clowns. Oh yeah and keep an eye out on the girls as well."
The siblings then went outside and look around at the carnival. However, there were still no presence of their enemies or the girls.
----------
----------
2:56 p.m.
Konoka and Setsuna arrived near the carnival and saw one of Konoka's bodyguards. They were amazed when they saw how big the carnival was. From the distance, they could the ferris wheel, the ride Konoka wanted to get in with her soulmate. She though that the carnival could be a very great place for their relationship to grow further. She approached and hand over all of her bags that were filled with newly-bought clothes and swimsuits, "Please take all of this new clothes to our dormitory."
"Yes, ma'am." the bodyguard responded respectfully and left.
"Okay Set-chan. Let's go inside!" Filled with amazement and wanted to get in impatiently, Konoka smiled at her swordsman. She tugged her by her arm and finally went inside. As the two came, they saw a lot of people and their children, both were occupied with happiness, astonishment and amusement. They also saw a lot of mascots (two of them were Kasumi and Ayane), who were entertaining the kids. The carnival was filled with great rides such as the teacup ride, merry-go-round ride and the tunnel of love. Although the tunnel of love was a ride made only for those heterosexual (boy and girl) couples, soulmates and lovers, the owner of the carnival recently announced that aside from the allowed people, the ride can be also for friends and buddies (with the same gender), for one day only; which was also a perfect ride and time for Konoka and Setsuna to express their love to each other without any disruption.
Hayate, who was in disguise as one of the carnival security staff, not to mentioned wearing shades, finally managed to catch a glimpse of them. Hastily, he searched for his sisters, who were dressed in funny-looking mascots. Few seconds later, he was able to spot them but suddenly, he stopped himself when he saw them surrounded by several young kids. Kasumi and Ayane didn't have anything up their sleaves....er....mascots to entertain the kids. They also flustered and felt embarassed. Hayate thought of a solution hurriedly for a moment. He then approached towards the children before he could order, "Sorry children but these mascots have other things to do for a while so go see some other mascots."
"But we want to see them entertain. Pleeeease?" one of the kids begged.
Hayate tried to force the kids to go away from them again, "I'm sorry kids but you have to see other mascots. They aren't ready yet so please go away from them for a while."
"Aww..." the kids felt disappointed and walked away.
"So what's the catch, bro? Have you seen those mercenaries?" Kasumi inquired, who was in a state of relief.
"No, I haven't. But I did saw Konoka and Setsuna." He answered.
"So where are they?" this time, Ayane inquired, who was also in a state of relief after being 'rescued' by their brother from the kids.
"I wish I could tell but I don't know where they went. I was busy catching up with you girls."
"Well then, we should look around for them. They should be near this area." Kasumi advised and the trio started to look around again. They realized that they had walked and looked around the carnival countless times.
----------
----------
"So Set-chan, what ride do you think we should go first?" Konoka looked at her protector with a joyful smile.
“Why don’t we go to the teacup ride first, Ojou-sama?” Setsuna looked at one of the rides at chose it as their first ride.
Wasting a little time, they went to the teacup ride and rode. Once the ride got started, Konoka span the teacup spin wheel. Both of the girls’ hair swirled and both girls had fun and enjoyed the great wind. They span the teacup even faster to feel even greater winds. Somehow, none of the girls hasn’t felt any dizziness. “Wheeeeeee....” Konoka said loudly, enjoying the ride, “This ride is so great! I think it brings back some memories of mine.”
Setsuna remembered, enjoying the ride as well, “We used to come to carnival to ride this when we were kids!”
Few minutes later, the ride had stopped. Though the girls felt disappointed, they had enough fun with it and exited.
“Whew, that was...fun.....wasn’t Set-chan?” Konoka felt a bit dizzy and started to get tired quickly caressing some words.
“Yes, it is...Ojou-sama...” Setsuna was tired as well.
“We should sit for a while and take a rest for a while.” Konoka suggested, her breath was back to normal and her low dizziness was gone quickly.
The lovers took a sit on a bench and as they relaxed and looked around, they saw two mascots who came in front of them.
“HELLO! MAGI-MAGI-MAGI-MAGICAL! MAGI-MAGI-MAGI-MAGICAL KINGDOM! TODAY IS A DAY FULL OF WONDERFUL TIMES!” the two mascots, who were Kasumi and Ayane, welcomed them with their carnival-traditional welcome poses, exactly how Asuna and Yue did.
“Thanks for the introduction.” Konoka thanked.
The orange mascot approached in front of the brown-haired girl and held her right arm. She then looked at her watch. “Ooh, what kind of watch do you have there?” she said with a seemingly deepened voice.
Konoka responded happily, “Well, this watch was made from...”
But before she could continue, Kasumi pulled her away from the bench. “Oops, sorry for pulling you. I couldn’t help but notice that rare watch you have there. Can you tell me again what it is?”
“Well okay. This watch was made from Switzerland....”
While Konoka was talking with her, the other mascot approached in front of Setsuna. She moved her masked face to the raven-haired samurai. Setsuna could see half of Ayane’s face inside the mouth of the purple-haired kunoichi’s mascot. “Hey, Setsuna. It’s me Ayane.” The mascot murmured to her.
Setsuna was surprised to hear the familiar voice, “Ayane?”
“Yes it’s me. The other mascot is my sister Kasumi. Hayate is also here but he’s not dressed in a mascot. I can’t believe he had to dressed in a security staff while we had to dress in these ridiculous costumes!”
“Ah so, have you guys eliminated all of the enemies?”
Setsuna was hoping that Ayane would tell to her that they have eliminated all of the adverseries. Unfortunately, Ayane was hoping that Setsuna wouldn’t ask her that. They haven’t yet eliminated nor located them. “Well I wish I could say the answer you want but um....we haven’t located those DOATEC hencemen.”
Setsuna felt disappointed. Ayana continued, “We don’t want to ruin your date and we don’t want to let Konoka know about the whole situation so Kasumi had to distract her.”
“A-a-a date!?” the samurai was quickly shocked when she heard the word ‘date’. They were having a date but she had to make sure that some people don’t recognized it, “Wha-what are you talking about!? This isn’t a date!”
“Oh, I apologize. I thought you girls were alone.”
“We are alone but...”
A security staff approached the mascots who were talking with the girls, “Um, excuse me girls but I must speak with these mascots and this is urgent.”
“Well sorry girls but we have to go now. We’ll see you later.” The mascots along with the security staff, who was Hayate, finally left,” MAGI-MAGI-MAGI-MAGICAL! MAGI-MAGI-MAGI-MAGICAL KINGDOM! TODAY IS A DAY FULL OF WONDERFUL TIMES!”
Konoka gathered her thoughts about the next ride as she looked aroung at some rides, “Hey, Set-chan...”
Setsuna turned to her princess, “What is it Ojou-sama?”
“Set-chan, you would like to go with me at the Tunnel of Love?”
Her protector blushed anew and looked around for the asked ride fast before responding, “Why yes, Ojou-sama...”

“So have you found them Hayate-sama?” Ayane asked. She and her siblings were near the gates of the carnival.
Hoping that he had found them, Kasumi gave her brother a mean look, “This oughta be good.”
“Sheesh sis, do you have to give me that look?” the chestnut-haired male ninja realized it. “Don’t worry, I have found them.”
“Where?” Ayane asked again, wanting to see them for herself.
Hayate pointed his finger to the black van outside of the park. The girls followed his finger and saw the van, “Do you see the black van over there?”
His sisters recognized it and Kasumi responded, “Wait a minute, I know that van.”
“That kind of van has been used by DOATEC and every ninja members of our clan have seen that.” Ayane continued for her half-sister.
“So they have arrived. Where did they go, bro?” Kasumi wondered.
“When they showed up, they were already dressed in mascots and clowns and a lot of people saw them. Those people don’t realize that they are criminals and instead, they were happy and cheered at them. And now, they are inside of the park. Luckily though, they haven’t done anything harm but we have to keep an eye on them. Who knows what will they do if we do nothing and just wear these outfits.” Hayate explained.
“And why didn’t you do something but looked at them when they arrived?” the purple-haired kunoichi protested.
The male ninja forgot to mention, “Well sorry that I....no, wait a minute I did do something. Since I dressed in this outfit, I directed those guys near some kids...” Hayate then started to smile, “...and if you looked at the direction where I am looking at...”
His sisters did so and as they looked at their enemies, they started to giggle. Their enemies were completely overwhelmed by many kids and all of the kids were looking to have some fun with them. DOATEC henchmen were getting annoyed by them but they weren’t allowed to attack or harm anything in their mission till their leader said so, otherwise they would give up their cover. They were so surrounded that they couldn’t do anything.
“You should’ve predicted this before we wore these idiotic costumes you stinkin’ idiot!” the boss of the henchmen silently growled to one of his allies.
“Heh heh, sorry ‘bout that boss.” his ally apologized.
The sibling ninjas laughed at them. “Well that should keep them from doing anything stupid...” Ayane smiled before she apologized to her half-brother, “...and sorry for arguing with you early, Hayate-sama.”
Kasumi apologized as well, “And I’m
