My name is Reiji Oni, I'm going to be a Sophomore this semester at Yokai Academy. It's been a while since I've seen my friends. I wonder how they're doing.

"Hey, isn't it almost time for you to head off to school, Reiji?", Cerbero asks from the doorway with his usual bedhead.

"Yeah, I'll be heading out here in a bit. I just need to grab a few more things and I should be ready to go.", I reply as I continue to pack my things.

"Okay, just let me know when you want me to setup that portal and you'll be there in no time.", Cerbero adds before going to the dinning room.

I grab a few more outfits, my jacket, and a book on different monster species that Cerbero gave to me and stuff them all into my large duffel bag before heading to the dinning room.

"You're ready then?", Cerbero asks with a raised eyebrow, to which I nod. He only grins at this and with a snap of his fingers, a red portal manifests seemingly out of nowhere.

As I go to head through the portal, Cerbero stops me and says, "I wasn't there for you first semester and for that I am sorry. This time though, I have requested some days off so I can come see you like other parents see their kids at school, okay?"

As I'm left surprised that Cerbero, the guard dog to the gate of the Underworld of all people, was able to request time off, he gives me his usual kind smile, something that seems to calm me even now. I simply nod in response and as he lets me go, I head through the portal with my bag.

Once I reach the other end of the portal, I find myself in front of the boys' dorm. Cerbero already told me what room I was given and even gave me my key, so I head straight for it to unpack all of my things before heading to the school.

When I finally reach my room, I find it doesn't seem to have changed much, but the bathroom seems a bit bigger than what I remember. Unpacking everything isn't really that much of a hassle, I just throw everything into the open drawers before slamming them shut. It's a bit of a mess, but it's an organized mess...kind of.

As soon as I finish unpacking my things, I head straight for the school. During the walk to the school, I think to myself about whether or not Tsukune would return to Yokai after what happened last semester with the whole almost dying and being turned into a ghoul and all. On my way through the forest I hear the sound of someone stepping on leaves and decide to check it out.

As I'm make my way towards the noise, I see Tsukune making his way to the school building all by himself. I grab the pack of cigarettes out of my pocket and pull one out as I make my way towards him. Before I put the cigarette in my mouth I say, "It's been a while, Tsukune.", then as he turns to see me I light the cigarette with my Zippo lighter.

As I shut the lighter with a flick of my wrist he looks up at me with a baffled expression and asks, "Reiji, you're here too? Have you seen any of the others yet?"

After taking a drag of my cigarette and blowing the smoke into the sky I reply with, "Nope. I just got here myself and was on my way to the school to check it out before I heard your loud ass walking and here we are."

"You want to go check it out together then?", he asks me with his usual smile on his face.

It reminds me of the good times we had last semester causing me to laugh a little before replying, "Sure thing Tsukune. It shouldn't be too far from here."


We slowly make our way toward the school building and as we get closer, we start to hear a large group of people gawking over something. We arrive at the school to see a hoard of freshmen girls in the front courtyard.

"Well, here we are. And look who's already here waiting for you Tsukune.", I say as I point over to Kurumu and Yukari standing in the middle of the hoard of freshman students with the remaining half of my cigarette in my hand.

As soon as Yukari sees Tsukune, she tries to run to him while shouting, "Tsukune!", but Kurumu tramples over her as she runs over to him to give him a hug.

"Oh Tsukune, I thought I was going to die the whole time we were apart! Did you miss your little Kurumu?", she exclaims as she smothers him with her breasts. I manage to pull him away from her before Yukari drops five washpans on her head, one after another.

"Tsukune, it's been so long. I got a little taller, you can tell, right?", Yukari says as she takes off her witch hat to show that she's grown by roughly an inch since last semester.

"Yeah, I think I can Yukari.", Tsukune happily replies causing her to blush.

I put my hand on my chin and say, "You're still pretty short though, Yukari, but I guess that's part of being twelve."

She's quickly enraged by this and shouts, "You better not be making fun of me!", before Kurumu get's back up and knocks Yukari to the ground for hitting her in the head with those washpans.

"You little shit, who do you think you are trying to flirt with MY Tsukune?", Kurumu growls as she grabs onto one of Tsukune's arms.

"Clearly you don't get the fact that Tsukune's MINE.", Yukari replies as she grabs his other arm.

Before I could break up their little tug of war game with Tsukune, a couple of kunai made of ice fly by my face and hit Yukari and Kurumu right in their foreheads causing them to let go of Tsukune.

We look over to where the kunai came from to see Mizore hiding behind a bush. "No, Tsukune belongs to ME.", Mizore retorts as she makes another ice kunai.

"I'm not about to let some snow scank run off with my Tsukune!", Kurumu shouts as she extends her nails and her wings rip through the back of her shirt.

"I'm going to turn you into a slutsicle, Kurumu.", Mizore growls as she forms her ice claws.

Before they're able to start their brawl, we hear Moka desperately shout, "Stop! We're friends and this is the first day of school! We shouldn't be fighting!"

We all look over to see her in her usual school uniform as a determined look covers her face. Suddenly her eyes widen and she stops everything just to stop and stare at Tsukune. "Tsukune.", she says with a smile on her face.

Tsukune tries to say 'Moka,' but before he gets the chance to start I slap him on the back of his head and growl, "Don't be weird, talk like normal people! For fuck's sake."

He rubs the back of his head like a baby and says, "It's nice to see you too, Moka. It's been a while."

She runs up to him and gives him a hug while saying, "I missed you so much Tsukune!" She leaned in for what he might have thought to be a kiss, but really she just leaned in and bit his neck to suck his blood.

I sigh while putting my face into my open palm as I say, "Some things just never change."

"Moka! Stop sucking his blood! If you suck too much, he'll pass out!", Yukari exclaims as she tries to pull Moka away from Tsukune's neck. She eventually lets go of his neck and he falls to the ground.

"Oops. I got a little carried away. I just haven't had anything like your blood in such a long time, Tsukune.", she says as if that makes it all okay.

Tsukune tries to say something, but he passes out before we can figure out what exactly it was. "Great, he hasn't been here more than five minutes and he's already unconscious.", I note with a slight irritated scowl, not really surprised by the outcome but still pissed none the less.

I lift his near lifeless body onto my shoulders and say, "Just like old times, right Tsukune?"

"We should probably go check out our homerooms. I wonder if we'll be in the same classes again this year.", Kurumu suggests as she looks to our club.

"One way to find out.", Yukari notes before heading to the nearby bulletin board.

"Hey, wait up!", Kurumu shouts as she follows after her. As I make my way to the board, Tsukune regains consciousness and asks, "What happened? Did Moka..."

"Yep.", I respond before he finishes his question.

"Where did everyone go?", he asks as he looks around for the others.

"They're over there looking at their classes. From the look on their faces, I'm guessing we're all in the same classes.", I answer him as I point to the others standing in front of the board with excited looks on their faces.

"Wow, that's pretty luck for us all to be put in all of the same classes, right Tsukune?", Moka notes as she walks towards us from the board.

"Yeah, what are the odds of that happening?", he replies with a smile on his face as a slight chuckle comes out with it.

"You think you can walk now Tsukune? You aren't exactly heavy, but I'd rather not be carrying you all day.", I ask him, not trying to be a total ass, but not wanting to be his butler.

"I should be fine now, thanks Reiji.", he replies as I let him down off of my shoulder. He manages to stand just fine on his own, but I'm still keeping an eye on him just in case he has another sleeping spell.

"So we're all in the same classes then?", I ask Moka as I glance over at the vampire. The odds of that happening are pretty low and Yukari is an honors student so you'd think she'd be in the higher up classes, but I guess not.

"Yep. You, Tsukune, Mizore, Kurumu, Yukari, and myself all have the same exact classes together.", she replies as she counts on her fingers for each of the people in our group.

"It also looks like we have a new teacher too. , the new gym teacher. I guess they finally found a replacement for that old pervert we had last year.", Mizore says with a relieved look on her face.

"We still have the same Math and Literature teachers, Rideko and Nekonome. I'm surprised they didn't fire Rideko for almost burning down that one room with all those lamps.", Kurumu notes as she continues to look at the list of teachers we have.

"We have Miss Nekonome for most of our classes so we should be fine for most of the semester.", Yukari says as she points to the five classes that Nekonome teaches.

"Well, we better head to our homeroom then. Since it's the first day I doubt we'll do anything other than go over the rules again.", I say as I put my hands in my pockets and head for our homeroom.


As we all make our way through the building we find our homeroom with a sign next to the door that says, "Miss Nekonome" "She's our homeroom teacher too? How many classes does this woman have with us?", Kurumu mutters to herself as we make our way into the room.

We look around the room to find a group of seats that would keep us all together and we find almost enough in the same spots we sat last year, except a few male students were sitting in my old seat and Tsukune's. So I do the only logical thing: I walk up to them, tap them on their shoulders and sake my head no. They just look at each other and one of them says, "This isn't worth it.", before moving all the way across the room.

"Dang Reiji, did you really have to bully those guys out of their seats? We could've just sat somewhere else.", Moka sheepishly asks as she takes her seat right behind Tsukune.

"Was it necessary? No. Did I have fun doing it? Yes, yes I did.", I reply with a smug look on my face as I sit in my seat and prop my feet up on my desk.

"I don't mind as long as I get to be close to you Tsukune.", Mizore says as she turns around from her seat in front of Tsukune.

Kurumu takes her seat behind me and says, "Man, this is just like last year, but Yukari is going to have to sit in front of Reiji."

Yukari takes her seat as well, the one right in front of mine, and says, "I prefer to be in the front of the room anyways."

Suddenly the door slides open and Nekonome comes strutting through saying, "Good morning class! I've been waiting all Spring to say that to you all! My name, for those of you who don't already know, is Miss Nekonome and I'll be your homeroom teacher for this semester, okay?" She grabs her ruler and begins to point to the images that she had already drawn on the board before hand before saying, "Since this is the first day we're only going over the rules, but since you all are sophomores you all should already know the rules by now."

At this point I zone out for the rest of the class while she continues to go over the rules that almost nobody follows anymore. Once I hear the bell ring though I snap out of my zoned out state and I see the other students begin to leave the classroom.

Kurumu jumps up from her seat and says, "Yes! This must be fate bringing us that much closer, right Tsukune?"

I sigh and say, "Only fools believe in fate. We're all in the same class for some reason. It's likely that the headmaster wanted us to keep an eye on Tsukune."

"That would make sense since the only thing keeping him himself is a single holy lock.", Yukari says as she begins to count off the classes we all have together on her fingers.

"That definitly sounds like something he'd do.", Mizore replies from behind her desk.

Kurumu grabs Tsukune's head and shoves it into her chest before saying, "Don't worry Tsukune, we'll protect you no matter what."

After a bit of a struggle Tsukune was able to breath again and replies with, "We should go explore the campus. It was fully rebuilt, right? That sounds like fun to me."

We all looked over at Moka to see if she'd give her opinion, but she just turned away quickly and walked out of the room.

"Hmm, that was a bit strange.", I note after getting up from my seat and sitting on top of the desk.

"No kidding. I'm going to go see what that was all about.", Yukari says before chasing after her.

After Yukari leaves I look around and ask, "So, how did everyone spend their free time while the school was being rebuilt?"

"I was at home most of the time studying so I don't fall too far behind this semester.", Tsukune replies like some sort of nerd.

"Mizore and I went through intense training to be able to keep up with you and Moka.", Kurumu answers as she attempts to flex her almost nonexistent muscles.

I laugh a little before jokingly asking, "What kind of 'intense training' are we talking about? It better be pretty damn good if you plan on catching up to Moka let alone me."

"It's a secret.", Mizore answers before ducking back behind her desk.

"Oh, super top secret techniques to take on Moka then? I see, you two really must be worried about her throwing her hat into the ring for Tsukune's heart as well then, am I right?", I ask them with a grin on my face.

They both look at each other nervously and even Tsukune is a bit nervous now at the thought of Inner Moka trying to seduce him.

I sigh before trying to calm them down by saying, "It's highly unlikely that she's going to do that since she seems to lack most emotions, but don't let your guards down."

Suddenly Yukari was back in the doorway and said, "Hey Tsukune, can you come with me for a moment? Pretty please?"

"Sure thing Yukari. What's up?", he replies as he makes his way to the door.

"Oh nothing. Just follow me.", the little witch replies in a giggly tone.

As they leave the room together I ask Mizore and Kurumu, "You two saw how fishy that was, right?"

"Yeah, but that's how Yukari acts.", Kurumu replies as she blows my worry off.

"No, this was a little too iffy even for her. She has something planned and it likely involves Tsukune doing something stupid.", I sternly reply as I get up off of my desk.

"So what should we do? Follow them?", Mizore asks as she gets out from behind her desk.

"You two were going to do that anyways, right? Might as well do it as a group.", I answer as I make my way towards the door.

They nod at each other before joining along to follow Tsukune and Yukari.

We follow them to the graveyard entrance, but they split up before going in. "Okay, you two follow Yukari and I'll follow Tsukune. Got it?", I say as I point in the direction Yukari went. They nod and we split up to follow our respective targets.


After catching up with him I see Tsukune and Moka are together in the graveyard, but Moka is acting a bit odd. Her face seems a bit redder than usual and her body language is all over the place. I can't quite make out what they are saying, but then Tsukune screams, "KISS! WHAT!?" and I am a bit more concerned.

What kind of kiss is she talking about? She then does something I never imagined I'd ever see Moka do in my entire life, she pulls up her skirt and thrusts his head to her thigh. I was a bit concerned when she lifted her skirt, but when his face hit her thigh it was a bit of a relief, but not by much.

I manage to get closer to hear part of what she was saying which was, "...not Kurumu's nor Mizore's. Just mine and mine alone." I begin to think of how I could get Tsukune out of this situation. If I don't do something soon, Kurumu and Mizore are going to do something for sure and make things worse.

Before I can make a plan though I feel vibrations in the ground and realize I'm too late to do anything.

I retreat to a nearby tree and watch as roots burst out from the ground and grab Moka, ripping her and Tsukune away from one another. "I knew this wasn't okay! Where did these tree roots come from!?", Tsukune frantically shouts as he looks around for who did this.

We all hear Kurumu say from up above, "Witch Craft. The succubus kind.", before swooping down and grabbing Tsukune. She then carries him to a tree close to mine and says, "How could you be seduced so easily by someone like Moka?! You have me, what do you need her for?!" Then she grabs his right hand and shoves it up her shirt causing him to have a massive nose bleed while she asked him, "Is this enough for you Tsukune?"

Before he has time to respond, Moka quickly breaks free of the tree roots and grabs one of the nearby tombstones which she uses to knock both of our trees down with one swing as she screams, "Stop groping her! Those are nothing more than blubber!"

Kurumu falls to the ground unconscious after running head first into most of the branches as she falls from the tree, but Moka catches Tsukune, saving him before he hits the ground. She seems to be carrying him in the bridal position, which is a bit unsettling, but at least she caught him.

As for me I am able to tuck and roll to avoid taking too much damage and end up standing, though this blew my cover to hell since they could see me clear as day.

"Reiji, you're here too?", Tsukune asks with a surprised look on his face.

I chuckle a bit before pulling out a cigarette from the box I have in my pocket.

Before I light it though I reply with, "I'd be more worried about your other lovers Tsukune.", then as I light my cigarette, Mizore begins to freeze Moka to a nearby tombstone.

"Keep your hands off of my Tsukune.", Mizore growls as she continues to freeze Moka to the tombstone. Mizore grabs Tsukune, holding him close to her chest with her ice claws as she says, "You can be with me forever Tsukune."

I take a drag of my cigarette as Moka begins to use her raw strength to break free from the ice. I make my way over to Mizore, who is currently cuddling Tsukune, and tap on her shoulder before pointing to Moka who is trying very hard to break free of the ice trap.

"There's no point in struggling. You can't break out of-", Mizore begins to say before Moka busts free from the ice and chucks the tombstone at us.

I'm able to pull Tsukune out of the way in time, but Mizore gets hit head on with the tombstone and is knocked unconscious.

"That was close. I almost dropped my cigarette.", I note sarcastically as Tsukune begins to nervously sweat.

Moka slowly makes here way towards us as I put my cigarette back in my mouth. She glares at me and asks, "Are you going to try to stop me too, Reiji?"

I grin and point towards her rosary before answering, "I don't have to. You woke her up."

The rosary begins to move rapidly and randomly all over the place. "W-what's going on? Tsukune help!", Moka exclaims as the rosary continues to flail wildly.

Tsukune, being the idiot he is, grabs the rosary in an attempt to stop it from moving, but he ends up pulling it off instead. "Oh crap! It came off!", he shouts as Moka transforms into her inner self.

"How dare you touch me so casually?", the Inner Moka shouts as she glares at Tsukune, now soaked in a pool of his own sweat.

"Moka, I can explain!", he nervously exclaims as he tried to defend his actions, but to no avail.

"You should know your place!", she shouts at the top of her lungs as she kicks him into the air.

As Tsukune's body hits the ground with a thud I can barely hear him say, "I'm sorry.", before he passes out.

I blow some smoke into the air from my cigarette and ask her, "Was all that really necessary? The other you did ask him to do it."

Ignoring my question she walks up to Tsukune and tells him, "The other Moka and I might have different hearts, but we share the same body. From this point forward you are no longer allowed to touch this body, even if she asks you to."

"So wait, does that go for her too then? Because she kind of has to make contact to drink his blood?", I ask her, because I believe if this should be a thing it should be a two way street.

"Shut up you fool. You're also to blame for not stopping this when you had the chance.", she growls back at me as she gives me her usual glare.

"I would've stopped it, but when I was trying to make a plan everything went to shit. Just goes to show I should just wing everything.", I say as I finish my cigarette.

"I think it's about time you learn your pla-", she says as she tries to kick me in the face, but I grab her leg, thwarting her attack.

"Yeah, I don't think so.", I reply as I sweep her other leg and lift her off the ground by her one foot, holding her upside down.

"Unhand me, you!", she shouts as she tries to pelt me with more kicks, but I'm able to block them with my other arm.

"I have a question that I want to ask. How is it to be all alone most of your life?", I ask her as she continues to pelt my arm with kicks.

"How do you-", she begins to ask, but I cut her off by dropping her on her head. "Hey! Don't just drop me!", she shouts as returns to her feet.

"Forget I asked. What exactly did Yukari do to make the other Moka act like that anyways?", I ask her, trying to change the subject as I turn away from her.

"It's something called: 'Lovey-Dovey-kun' and it let a person's 'true intentions' show.", she replied as she crossed her arms in her usual pissy tone.

I chuckle a bit before saying, "Lovey-Dovey-kun? That's the dumbest shit I've heard all day. That's definitely something Yukari would make. Speaking of Yukari, where is she?"

Suddenly we hear Yukari scream, "Someone help me!" Moka and I rush in the direction we heard her scream from and see her stuck in some sort of trap made of rope and ice. "Help, if the candle burns through the rope I'll be a kebab!", she desperately screams as the candle's flame continues to burn the rope.

"I guess Kurumu and Mizore figured out what you did and went to try to take Tsukune for themselves. You think you made a few mistakes Yukari or do you want to think about it some more?", I say as I kick the candle away.

"I don't see what mistakes I made. I simply let Moka be herself.", she nervously replies, trying to act all innocent.

"I highly doubt that, but we can't exactly leave you here. You grab onto her while I burn through the last of the rope.", I say to Moka as I use my pyrokinesis to start a small fire on my finger tip.

"When did you learn to do that Reiji?", Moka asks as she grabs a hold of Yukari and pulls her away from the ice spikes as she raises an eyebrow at my new ability.

"Over the break Cerbero taught me how to use it. All demons can use it, but most just focus on physical power rather than spells. It keeps me from buying lighters so that's nice.", I reply as I burn through the rope causing Yukari to fall into Moka's arms.

Suddenly Moka seems a bit off balance and dizzy. "Hey Moka, was the other you using some of your power to do that stuff back there?", I ask her, but I'm pretty sure I already know the answer.

"Yeah, but I'm fine though. I just need to get that rosary off of Tsuku-", she says before falling to one knee from exhaustion.

"Hmm, you seem perfectly fine to me. Nothing wrong at all. Just a little ware and tare from punting a person in the face, but that's nothing.", I say with maximum sarcasm as I stand in front of her with a grin on my face.

She simply glares up at me like she usually does, but this time she seemed more embarrassed than anything else. I look over to Yukari and tell her, "Hey, why don't you go and grab her rosary off of Tsukune. He's over there somewhere unconscious.", as I point over in Tsukune's general direction. Yukari give us both a quick nod before running off to grab the rosary, leaving the two of us alone.

"I was wondering why it was so easy to block those kicks of your. The other Moka must've drained quite a bit of your energy to weaken you this much. In this state I don't think you'd be able to even beat Mizore and Kurumu.", I note as I kneel down in front of her.

"Oh please, like I'd need even this much power to take those two on. I could still handle those two easily.", she confidently replies with somewhat of a grin on her face.

"I don't know, they seem to have gone through some sort of training over the break so they might have something hidden up their sleeves.", I tell her as I ponder what it might be. A weapon perhaps or some sort of attack, that would be interesting.

"It doesn't matter what they come at me with, I'll beat them every single time.", she growls back at me with her usual glare.

"Not even a single hint of doubt? You're definitely a vampire alright. Prideful and stubborn.", I mockingly tell her, causing her to growl. "You really shouldn't bottle up your emotions all the time Moka. Even though you're an S class super monster, that'll destroy you mentally. Though I could see why you'd want people to think that you're nothing more than a cold hearted vampire. But if you really want to throw your hat into the ring like the other Moka has, you're going to have to put a little more effort into it than that.", I explain to her, causing her to give me a wide-eyed look just before Yukari shows up with her rosary.

Before Moka has time to ask what I mean, I look over to Yukari and say, "Took you long enough. What took you so long, did Tsukune wake up and move or something?"

"No, I was doing a bit of research.", she replies as she hands me the rosary.

"Ah, 'research' you say, but I bet you were just groping Kurumu, weren't you?", I say in a smug tone, causing the little witch's face to turn red.

"W-what!? Were you watching me!?", she nervously asks as she quickly becomes flustered by my comment. I pass Moka her rosary and look back at Yukari with a sly grin on my face.

"No, it was a joke, but at least you got the job done. Good job Yukari.", I reply as I pick up her witch hat and put it on her head.

"Hey, Reiji. You should stop acting so nice. People are going to start thinking that you actually care.", Moka says before returning the rosary to its proper place.

After that, Moka began to fall over as she transformed back to her normal self. I manage to catch her before she hits the ground and I ask Yukari, "Do you think Tsukune and the others will regain consciousness soon? I don't want to carry everyone again."

Yukari just shrugs and says, "I don't know, but I think I saw Mizore moving a little when I was doing my research."

I let out a slightly relieved sigh before saying, "Well at least I won't have to carry everyone. Let's go see if Tsukune is up at least. I can pawn Moka off on him and carry Kurumu and Mizore if I have to." I pick up Moka and throw her over my right shoulder then we head back to where the others should be.


Once we get there we see Mizore and Kurumu playing tug of war with Tsukune who's shouting, "Guys, please stop! Everything hurts and I need to go to the nurse!"

"Hey, you guys are awake. Good, that means that I don't have to do any work.", I happily note as I walk up to Tsukune and the others.

"What happened to Moka?", Tsukune nervously asks as Mizore and Kurumu finally stop tugging on his arms.

"Apparently Yukari used some sort of drug thing to make Moka go berserk and lost all of her self control causing her to act on her innermost feelings.", I explained in the most vague way possible.

"So that's why she was acting so nice to me.", Tsukune replies, looking like a sad puppy as he resists the urge to cry.

"Yep, and you have the honor of carrying her. Have fun.", I say as I take her off my shoulder and place her in his arms.

"What? Why me!?", he nervously asks as he panics with the girl's unconscious body in his arms.

"Because I'm not doing it and the others would probably drop her on her head.", I answer him as I start to walk back to the dorms, waving to him as I walk away.
