Before, say, a gunshot to one's spine; there is an akward silence that can only be described as deathly. There was such a silence after Kurumu Kurono recieved a free cornsyrup shower, courtesy of Kazuma Magari.

The soda actually fizzled and popped as Kurumu's temper rose, so mad that the soda itself was evaporating off of her now sticky face.

"WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM?!" the busty girl shrieked, grabbing Kazuma by the collar of his uniform

Kazuma's cool temper remained intact, "Well, right now I think my biggest problem might be an accidental discharge," another devilish grin, "but that's just me."

Kurumu was actually so mad she couldn't speak. Only short grunts of anger in short spews came out of her mouth as her grip tightened further and further around Kazuma's neck. Nora was pleased as punch. "Yeah, you go get'im Busty!" he shouted, "Teach 'im not to spew that weird soda crap all over us!!"

Kurumu's gaze slowly travelled to the cerberus, and in a husky and somewhat raspy voice, she muttered, "Don't. Go. Anywhere. You're next."

The rest of Tsukune Aono's fangirls had retreated away from the swingzone, comically reduced to superdeformed versions of their rather sexy selves. While Moka and Yukari looked on in fear and some pity for the poor boys, Mizore simply slurped the dreaded can of soda.

Kazuma took this opportunity to try and free himself from Kurumu's vice, only to redirect her attention back on him; ears somewhat more pointy and nails growing ever longer. "Now, what do you think you're DOING, ruining the only time that I've seen Tsukune-kun all day with your immature, CHILDISH STUNTS?!"

Kazuma and Nora blinked in unison, "Tsukune...kun?"

However, while Nora had enough sense to shut his fanged mouth, Kazuma just had to poke some more fun. "So, this Tsukune," he started out with his eyebrows somewhat furrowed, "I take it you're like his wannabe girlfriend or something?"

Kurumu positively fumed at that statement. "WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?!" she raised her arm, now fully revealed to be that of succubi descent, "I am SO going to claw your face off."

"Stupid Mutt, this girl's not human!" Kazuma ordered. For once, perhaps fearing a whooping of his own, Nora complied, "Right, I declare Igunisu Magia Flame Fang Explosion!"

"I Approve!"

At that moment, something strange occured, even by Yokai Academy standards. The young white haired pervert that had just so boyishly been oggling the most popular girls in school, had just shot flames out of his bare hands that somehow manifested itself in a snake-like formation. Weird indeed.

A mass outbreak of girlsish screams (not all belonging to the women) eprupted throughout the courtyard as the giant pyroreptile lunged itself at the succubus, who was so caught off gaurd that all her only response was her pretty, purple eyes in horror as Nora's attack closed in on her.

Kazuma, ever the crafty class prez that he prided himself to be, took this time to quickly wriggle away from Kurumu's grip, lest feel the wrath of his own order. He ducked down in light of the upcoming explosion, oh how boring these resitance demons had gotten, so typical and stupid.

"Kurumu!!" Moka screamed in anguish

"Don't just stand there Bazooka Boobs!!" Mizore chided, although icy tears began to form in her snowy eyes

And then, boom would be the proper word to describe it.

A gigantic amalgam of smoke, fire and heat covered the succubus. Although, the duo had to admit, this demon was different from the other ones, no screams. Kazuma scowled, as was his usual response. "How boring, I sincerely hope that the demons only get better from here."

He stole a quick glance at his familiar, Nora. "I guess not."

The cerberus instantly bared his fangs, "AND JUST WHAT THE HELL IS THAT SUPPOSSED TO MEAN?!" And with that, another one of their famous arguments began as to who was the bigger idiot.

Even the ever-astute contract holder didn't notice Kurumu flying safely above the cloud of smoke, complete with a pointy tail, bat wings, and a very relieved look on her face. "Phew." she wiped a bead of sweat from her head casually, "Thought I was a goner there for a sec."

"Kurumu-chan!!" Yukari squealed, tears of joy welled up in her gigantic eyes. Moka and Mizore simultaniously shut her mouth, lest spoil their friend's element of suprise.

The latter three of Tsukune's followers had retreated behind the overturned soda machine, prepared for a suprise attack(the very vender that in effect started this whole ordeal) However, Mizore made a mental note that this was a perfect place that Tsukune would never expect to find her.

"Man, they sure do talk a lot..." Mizore's peircing gaze peeked over the sodajerk, leaving only the top of her head and eyes visible

Back with the comedy stylings of Kazuma and Nora...

"AND HOW THE HELL ARE YOU GONNA YELL AT ME WHEN YOU'RE THE ONE WHO GOT US LOST IN THE FIRST PLACE?!" Nora rebuttled

"Shut up you stupid chihuahua!" Kazuma stomped on the back of Nora's head, "Don't make me invest in a shock collar!"

Nora squeezed together at that remark, "YEAH WELL..." he paused, searching for an adequate response for Kazuma's quick wit, "YOUR MOM!!"
