Curves with Negative self-intersection

Let   S_k   be smooth projective surface over a field  k  and
let  M  be a field extension of   k  such that  k  is
algebraically closed in  M.  
 
Show that every irreducible curve on   S_M  with negative  
self-intersection is defined over k.

Let me give a hint:  
If   K*  be an algebaic closure of  K,  then  for every v  \in  aut(K*/k)  
the curve  v(M)  has the same degree and self-intersection as  M:  Hilbert implies  
{v(M): v \in Aut(K*/k)}   is finite.
