Tales from Negi's, er, Collective.

Iwai Tsukuyomi.
"This," the light haired girl said bitterly, picking herself up from the station's floor, "is all your fault!"
"I, I guess so," Negi admitted, coughing some water up before noticing she was still on her knees, feeling all around. He saw her glasses close to him, and so picked them up and handed them to her. It took her a moment of squinting to actually realize what they were, and she put them on with an angry huff. "But, if you'd contacted us and explained yourself...!"
"I still don't understand any of this," Chisame said, helping Misa back up. "Then you weren't trying to kidnap Konoe after all?"
"I was working from inside their organization," the smaller girl grumbled, tossing her wet hair back and fixing it primly. "And I had the perfect chance to stop them tonight! I had just earned enough of Chigusa's trust to be brought for the kidnapping itself! Now, thanks to you, all of that hard work is ruined!"
"I suspect you are still their accomplice, and they left you behind to hinder us," Satomi said coldly, aiming an armored gauntlet at her. "If they truly are professionals, they wouldn't leave anything to chance! Not for all the millions Konoe-san is worth!"
"Money!" she said, slapping the metal extremity aside with surprising strenght. "Do you seriously think this is about money?! Are you just starting in the world of magic?!"
"Um, well, actually," Chisame began, uneasily.
The swordsgirl blinked at her, then winced. "Oh Kami-sama. Oh, don't tell me you're just nobodies who stumbled into this...!"
"Miss," Negi frowned. "There isn't any time to waste, and if you really want to help Konoka-san, we may just be your only option, so you'd better start telling us where they've taken her."
She glared at him before sighing deeply. "Fine. I'm Oneesama's, I mean, Sakurazaki-san's half sister."
"You don't look like her at all," Misa observed.
"My father is a gaijin, okay?!" she explained irritably. "We were raised in the same compound as Konoka-Ojousama for years, but fate conspired against us and I was sent away. Even so, during all the days of my dark path, I never forgot Ojousama, her kindness, her beauty, her devotion towards us, and--"
"Wait," Misa said. "If Setsuna was also raised along with her, why did she just help that witch take her away?"
The short girl shrugged. "How should I know? I was apart from them for years, remember? I literally just said it. It's possible, I suppose, that the injustices she suffered herself from Ojousama's mother might have turned her against the Konoe clan, unlikely as that might have seemed to me before."
"Maybe we should continue this discussion in the hotel," Chamo said, perking his ears up at the sirens of approaching patrol cars. "Just a suggestion, mind."
"Kagurazaka is going to kill us so badly," Chisame shuddered bitterly. "Are you sure we can't just run away and move to another country before she wakes up...?"
