A/N: Chapter 3 is coming up in just a few minutes, time to answer a few reviews before we start this shindig.

Shadowsong: Agreed, I've been reviewing my combat sections and I have found them pitifully underdone. So much so, that I have considered rewriting part of this story, and cleaning up the combat scenes in my previous story. I'm not a perfectionist, but when I see something wrong that others do as well, I want to fix it. =) I will take a look at cleaning this up though sooner rather than later.

KeltKnight: I'm writing all the ones I'm doing specifically because no one HAS done them, I mean I have to be the first to try something I suppose. Each story I just wrote can have a dozen different characters from each story intermingling in some way with the plot. It's all a matter of creativity.

Mega1987: Typical noble pride, blowing up in their face. Yet AGAIN. She will live thankfully, her injuries were not fatal, that much I can tell you.

Reishin Amara: A big Omake is coming soon! I can promise you that! What will it entail? Heh, you have to wait for that answer.

Guest Review: Storyline is going to be a bit deeper, at this point I am not sure how I want to end the season, so regardless of the situation, I'll be going for quality and detail as far as I can. This will not be a few one shot episodes though, I am planning on making my way through Season 1, and see where Fate takes me (and our characters!)

1v2: That's a big vote of confidence! I'll be happy with positive readers and a good story wrapped in a bow in any case though =)

DragonBard: I appreciate that tidbit =)

Nobody (Guest Review): All my characters do change a bit in my stories; at least that's how it's been. I don't like following with completely IC character behavior. It forces me to put my stories into fixed, predictable directions. Nothing really wrong with that, but I like to keep people guessing if I can.

Thank you all for your continued interest. Now then! Let our tale continue! PS: Tsukune has a few moments of brilliance in this chapter. That is all.

Disclaimer: I hate to say this, but I really don't own anything in this story. So don't sic your lawyers on me. It's not polite =)


Headmaster's Office

Old Osmond found himself sighing, 'This is going to be a very, very long day.'

In the aftermath of the duel between the Valliere familiars and Lady Montmorency, the entire academy found itself in upheaval at the discovery of the Vampire familiar that had been discovered on campus. No one else was sure what the other familiars were, if they were human at all either. Osmond ordered the academy locked down and all correspondence between the students and the outside world cut off until he and staff could begin to sort out just what happened during the summoning ritual, as well as the duel itself. He didn't need the Church or Palace getting involved just yet, especially if this vampire wasn't a mindless killing machine.

A hard knock on the door started Osmond and a few of the senior staff that had already arrived at the office. "ENTER!" The door opened, and the staff gasped at the sight of the newly discovered Youkai. Inner Moka led the way, her long silver hair and red, cat-like eyes garnering the attention of all present. Tsukune followed still shirtless, gathering looks of awe and respect from those present. Mizore and Kurumu walked in with little fanfare. Both were cut up slightly from the fighting and still a little sweaty from their engagement, but walked with pride and a sense of purpose.

The final three were the native magic users led by Yukari, who was limping slightly from her tumble into the crowd during the fight. She was being helped along by Ruby, who was virtually uninjured, and carried both of their wands. The design of the wands surprised the staff; while wands used in Halkeginia were more designed on practicality and function then the ornamental appearance of the Terran witches' wands.

Louise followed last, clearly distressed at the recent developments, and even more terrified in the presence of her obviously non-human familiars. The Youkai and Louise all sat down in chairs that had been hastily prepared for their arrival, or as would soon become, interrogation.

Osmond cleared his throat, "So, I think you all are aware of why we've called you here today." The group nodded, "Who, or for that matter, what are you all? The abilities I saw were beyond that of any normal human."

Moka took control of the situation immediately knowing her noble roots may be the only trump card she could pull to keep her mate and her rivals (friends) safe. "None of us here are human; we have taken on human forms as disguises to protect our safety, and the safety of our loved ones."

A whisper began to travel around the room, "Not human? Why do they look so convincing though?"

Ruby cleared her throat, "All of us are classified as Yokai, or monsters. As a way of surviving in a land that is ruled by non magic using humans, we must take a human form to survive. Yukari and I," Ruby gestured to the bruised little witch. "Are Witches, magic users like yourselves who were hunted because of our powers."

Colbert spoke up, "Magic was used by the Founder and all who can use it are considered nobles here in Halkeginia! To think that mages would be hunted by religious authorities is unheard of!"

Ruby frowned, "Back home, magic users are hunted for their abilities. It was just a few centuries ago that active witch hunts targeted and executed magic users across our homeland. In many countries the use of magic is a capital offense, punishable by being burned at the stake."

Longueville spoke up, "Then who leads the people, since nobles cannot rule?" That possibility chilled the room noticeably, making many of the staff, even Osmond shift uncomfortably.

Moka returned to the center of the conversation, "Nobles no longer rule most human countries; instead commoners have either earned the right to rule from popular vote, or have seized power by force. Only in the Yokai world do nobles still hold the same power that they do here. Vampires are a major player in Yokai politics, along with a few other races."

Moka continued onwards, "Yokai society is ruled by the Three Dark Lords, three powerful monsters from the most powerful of monsters, called S-Class monsters. Vampires, demons, werewolves, and some low level deities are included in this category. I know all of the Dark Lords personally, having worked with them all at some point or another. My mother, Akasha Bloodriver was one of them as well, until she went missing after our last major conflict. My father, Issa has taken over as the Dark Lord in her absence."

Osmond's eyes widened, "You weren't lying when you said you came from a noble house; it could be argued you hold similar rank to the Royal Family." Color drained from a few of the Youkai's faces at that possibility. 'Moka? A princess?'

"You could think of it like that Headmaster; the position of Dark Lord is typically not hereditary however. It's given to the most powerful monsters, and replacing a Dark Lord is a difficult and strenuous process."

The staff nodded, "I never was a big fan for ceremony and political rituals however. Since vampires live for so long, I expect my parents to hold the position of Dark Lord for at least another 5 centuries, if not longer."

"In any case, I may never gain the title, but the respect is appreciated in any case Headmaster." Moka gave a genuine smile and nodded towards the Headmaster.

"Please Miss, just call me Old Osmond, everyone else does."

Moka and the others laughed quietly, "Very well Old Osmond, it's good to see a little informality in situations such as these."

Osmond smiled and nodded in return, "Please continue."

Louise was dumbfounded, one of her familiars was effectively a royal, while she and the rest weren't even human. 'What the hell did I get myself into now? Mother is going to be so pissed!'

"Other tiers for Yokai include A, B, C, in declining order of power. Myself, and Tsukune my mate are the only S-class Yokai here, the others are A and B class respectively. Time to introduce ourselves girls!" The Yokai smiled and began.

Yukari stood up, wobbling at first, "I am Yukari Sendo! I am a witch from a remote, isolated village, and am a B-Class Yokai!" She barely stayed balanced and fell down back onto her butt with a noticeably cute squeak.

Ruby smiled and stood up after helping Yukari get comfortable again, "I am Ruby Tojo, an experienced magic user who lived in secrecy in the Human World my whole life. I am an A-class Witch Yokai!" She curtsied in her long, flowing gown, earning smiles of approval and admiration from those present.

The always bouncy Kurumu jumped up, sending her always buoyant breasts bouncing straight up, getting a slight nosebleed out of Colbert and Osmond. She giggled playfully and twirled in her skirt, making Osmond go bug-eyed. "Hey there! I am Kurumu Kurono! I am a succubus! A Yokai born to live on love and passion! I come for a powerful line of temptresses, and have only found one man I couldn't sway with my powers of seduction!" She looked and pointed to Tsukune, which got a chuckle out of the staff, "Finally, I am an A-Class Yokai! My best attributes are my boobs-"

*CRASH!* The staff looked to Kurumu who had fallen from a washbin to the head from Yukari, who was giving a sly grin towards, "That's enough Boobzilla, this isn't a single's website." Moka found herself raising an eyebrow and giving the little witch a tiny smile.

The staff on the other hand looked rather confused, Tsukune laughed, "Don't ask, you really don't want to know." The staff smiled, and Tsukune decided to proceed, "I am Tsukune Aono, and I am a Hybrid Yokai. Hybrid means I am a combination of creatures, specifically a Modified Human, and a Vampire Ghoul. I was also the only one in the group that was born a human. I rate as an S-class super monster, and look forward to working with you all." Tsukune bowed his head politely to the Headmaster, who smiled and nodded.

Mizore followed in her typical deadpan voice, "Hello, I am Mizore Shirayuki. I am a Yuki-Onna, or Snow Maiden. I can control ice and water with my very thoughts and use it for whatever you could imagine. My people live in extremely cold environments and live in towns built entirely of ice. I am an A-Class Yokai, and hope to stalk you all."

Tsukune facepalmed, seeing looks of confusion and downright horror on the staffs' faces. "That was a joke." The staff nervously laughed and nodded, taking a step away from the Snow Maiden.

Moka cleared her throat, "I am Moka Akashiya, daughter of Lady Akasha Bloodriver and Lord Issa Shuzen. I am an S-class super monster, a full blooded vampire. What you see is my true form, the body I am normally graced with. However, due to extreme power I output, I wear this Rosary as a charm to seal my power and dangerous emotions away. Tsukune wears two similar pieces to seal both sides of his power away to when they are truly needed."

Colbert had been rapidly scribing notes as fast as he could, and had gone through 4 ink jars during the entire conversation, "Seal your power?"

Moka nodded, "It was a seal designed by my mother Akasha as a way to seal certain vampire powers, keeping them limited except in extreme circumstances. A way of keeping a super vampire's existence quiet in a human world that would try to destroy her. My sealed form is a soft spoken, warm hearted girl, who is smaller in proportions and is the exact opposite of a typical vampire in most respects."

Osmond realized something in that moment, "You had not intended to release your full power during the duel?"

Tsukune and Moka both shook their heads, as the latter replied back to Osmond, "No, we were hoping to keep our presence a complete secret, but it became detached during the fight. In any case, you know we are here now, the real question is what will you do with us?"

Osmond closed his eyes and began to think about the consequences and advantages of having such a presence at the Academy, "At this point I will permit you all to remain here at the Academy, I just ask that you refrain from leaving my students seriously wounded if at all possible. Osmond gave a calm, but calculating smile that Moka understood instantly.

"That won't be a problem; however there may be a few things we will need."

Colbert raised an eyebrow, "Such as?"

"We need a place for us all to live, we cannot fit in Louise's room, and we don't think it would be appropriate to have relations of any kind in someone else's room. In addition, Tsukune and I need a blood source we can use as sustenance. We don't have to feed daily, but both Tsukune and I need to maintain our physical strength with blood regularly."

"Physical relations Lady Akashiya?"

"That is correct; we are all romantically involved with Tsukune to some point, though the level of that relationship varies between us all. Vampires are more liberal when it comes to physical relationships then humans are, so such an arrangement isn't completely unusual."

Osmond gulped, "The first one is fairly easy to do, and I can have the Earth Mages build you all a small cottage here in the Academy to your specifications Lady Akashiya. The second may be difficult however, you do require human blood to function properly, and summoning it by itself has potential religious complications."

"You mean Blood Magic?" Ruby spoke out, knowing the difficulty of the Headmaster's situation.

Osmond nodded, "That may be a problem, and the only alternative is to give you prisoners of the state to drain . . ."

Moka quickly shook her head, "That is unnecessary; vampires from my world can actively decide whether to turn a human. To do so is actually considered taboo, due to risks involved. We could easily get volunteers to let Tsukune feed on them once in a while. It's completely harmless, considering we don't gorge ourselves on it."

"You don't drain them completely?"

Moka closed her eyes, "My ancestors taught us that by killing humans in such a way we only alienated ourselves more. Besides, drinking that much can turn us rabid and uncontrollable. We are raised only small increments of blood and tomato juice as a thirst quencher of sorts."

Tsukune entered into the conversation, "Offer a small financial incentive for the common staff that volunteer? Inform of them of exactly what is entailed, and have them sign an agreement they can back out of at anytime. If you have enough volunteers, a staff member may only have to be drunk from twice a month to even longer intervals then that."

Moka nodded, "That would be appropriate, however until such an agreement is made we need to find someone we can use for that purpose." Moka looked to Louise, who squirmed under Inner's gaze, "It would be non-invasive and rather painless Lady Valliere; I could consider it a way of apology for your actions last night."

Louise gulped, "How much blood for each of you?"

Moka took a moment and thought, "Fresh blood sates a vampire far longer than a transfusion pack would; so a pint in total would last about 2 weeks, with a total of 8 feedings per month. It would be doable, but not recommended for the long term in someone smaller such as you."

Louise began to pout, but snapped out of it quickly, "Okay, I'll do it, but just because we have no commoners to do it! Can we try this here before we do this in private?"

Moka nodded, "Does anyone have a small rag they can put on Lady Valliere's collar?" Longueville nodded, and handed Moka a handkerchief, which she laid across Louise's left shoulder and collarbone.

"I need you to relax Lady Valliere, if you tense up it can hurt and cause actual damage." Louise was tense as a Mexican Standoff, but calmed down, as Moka tilted her head and put her fangs into Louise's neck.

Louise gasped, and began to both tear up slightly and become flush. As much as it hurt Louise, it also felt pleasurable across her body. In a moment, it had ended, Moka having gotten her fill, and began to transfer it to Tsukune mouth-to-mouth. The girls immediately began to complain and become loud, clearly jealous at the sudden PDA that Moka initiated. The staff members couldn't help but chuckle at the growing catfight that was brewing inside the office.

Tsukune found the sensation of fresh blood intoxicating, and found her eyes turning red at the unknown sensation. He found himself groaning slightly as Moka gave the rest of it to him, all the while with their tongues and fangs around each other. Moka broke the connection to a gasping Tsukune who had to be helped back his chair.

Louise was light-headed and a bit loopy from the experience, and was dizzy. The girls were glaring at Moka, as she reattached the Rosary to her choker, making her hair return to its normal pink, along with her physical changes.

Osmond decided to call the meeting for the day, "Very well then, I will get you a home to live in completed by nightfall, and get Lady Valliere taken to the infirmary to sleep off her exhaustion. Dismissed."


Academy-Servant Quarters

The girls hadn't showered for at least a day, they all began to stink from both the fight and the stay in the tree overnight. All went to the Servant Quarters where a bath was open to the maids and menservants of the Academy. Kurumu, Yukari, Ruby and Moka jumped into the wonderfully warm water, which had been accented by the herbs that Moka kept on her to prevent her vampire powers from being sapped by it.

Mizore had found herself a giant pan that was left for the garbage and filled it with water, turning it into her own ice bath. She floated blissfully in the same room with the other girls, as they began to talk about their new lives in Halkeginia.

Ruby started off, "I'm just amazed there are so many magic users here in Halkeginia, Yukari was the first witch I met after my Mistress passed on. That was when I was 18, in less than 2 days I have met at least 20 times that number here in Halkeginia. It's exciting!"

"Only problem is that they are all nobles, and incredibly stuck up. No real nice ones here as far as I can tell," Yukari chimed in, bringing a frown to Ruby's face.

Outer Moka was washing her hair, the smell of the shampoo they had acquired for her from the noble's bath was powerful, not to mention incredibly alluring. "I just wish Tsukune could've joined us," she frowned as she mentioned her mate, 'Stubborn Tsukune, why didn't you come in with us?'

Kurumu sighed, "It was probably for the best, the fact that we, the harem exist simply for him is enough of a shock. While I wouldn't find such a situation bothersome, I know some of the students here certainly would."

Mizore opened her eyes, "You mean that redhead Kirche?" Kurumu nodded, the girls all sighed noticeably at the mention of the Germanian. "She'll be a threat to us as long as we are here. Louise may prove to be the wild card though. She may be strong willed and stubborn, but she's also lonely. She could prove to be a potential rival."

The girls all began to hear Inner Moka speak from the Rosary, "I believe we need to remain vigilant, Louise's parents are supposedly highly influential here in Tristain. They are also highly religious and powerful militarily; even we couldn't survive a concentrated assault from them."

The girls all sighed in unison once more, as the bubbles from the soap continued to pop, leaving the room in a state of constant movement.


Infirmary

Montmorency awoke, founding herself lying in the Infirmary, with her body on fire from pain. She was in a partial body cast, with her right hand immobilized. She felt sharp pains across her lower right back, center abdomen, and across her right chest, 'Broken bones most likely.'

'I can't even get up, let alone move my head to see what was going on.'

She managed to whisper out, "Is anyone there?" Even speaking was agonizingly painful to her; she was out of breath from simply managing the pain.

"Hmm? Oh be right there dear!" Montmorency was relieved, she could figure out what had happened to her. She had little memory of the day, and the last thing she did remember was accepting a duel condition from Valliere's male familiar.

'I must have lost badly to end up as I did.'

"Ah Miss Montmorency! You're finally conscious, how are you feeling?"

"My whole body feels awful, I'm hurting everywhere."

"That's to be expected I'm afraid, you were seriously injured in the duel. You have 4 cracked ribs, one with multiple fractures; three broken fingers, a lacerated liver, a bruised kidney, and a moderate concussion. We can order a healing potion that can deal with the more serious trauma together, but given the cost; standard recovery may be the better choice."

"Water magic therapy?"

"I can definitely do that for you, but it will take a long time before you are fully healed"

'I can't afford to dishonor my family anymore, or waste their money.'

"Low level healing potions and magic only for now, when can I be back on my feet?"

"Back on your feet? You're lucky to be alive right now, that silver-haired familiar could've easily killed you"

Montmorency was seriously confused, "Silver haired familiar?" An image of a charging familiar's two feet colliding into her returned to her memory:

"Learn your place!"

Montmorency began to shake at that thought, "Never mind, I remember now. In any case, when can I get moving again?"

The healer paused for a moment, "Actually moving and going to class will take at least two weeks, and that is a very conservative estimate. Fully healing will take much longer, and will drag out to 3 or 4 months. Therapy to regain your hand control will take that time plus an additional two months."

The healer continued, "You will however make a full recovery regardless of what we do, the concussion and organ damage is what I am concerned with. The bones are taken care of; they just need time to heal at this point."

Montmorency nodded, "Find me someone who can tell me exactly what happened during the duel."


Louise's Room

Louise found herself writing a letter to her family, specifically her mother on recent events at the Academy. She knew she had to have her parents come by sooner rather than later to acknowledge her, as well as show her familiars their place. The only question remained, what could they do to her in the process?

Louise's mother, Karin Desiree de La Valliere was a retired airborne commander whose exploits were legendary across the continent. Her runic name "The Heavy Wind" was a phrase that could easily make most soldiers and officers cower in moments.

She taught the Rule of Steel in her household, a belief that no Valliere may ever surrender, give ground, or attempt to compromise with an opposing force. She also spars with each member of her family nearly daily, except for Cattleya, to ensure they are all strong enough to fight, let alone be called members of the Valliere family.

Louise missed Cattleya most of all though, she was gentle, sweet, and always caring for Little Louise (as she was called by her family). Unfortunately she was always ill and in general poor health, meaning she could rarely leave the house, let alone find her own path in the world. Louise hoped to see her soon, but just wondered when that would be.

Louise began to write, Dear Mother . . .


Vestry Square

The small house like structure had been built in a few hours to Moka's specifications. It was two stories, with a basement. The first floor acted as a common area, with dining facilities, a kitchen, a reinforced sparring room, and two guest rooms.

The second floor held the residences for each member of the Harem, while small, each room was larger than the dorm rooms they had at Yokai. All the rooms had a desk, a full bed, and a dresser for clothing. All the rooms also had their own window they could open if desired. Moka's room had been made the largest, per Osmond's request, befitting her status as a noble. She had a queen bed and the same luxuries the other rooms had, along with a small veranda.

The basement held the house's bathing areas, with a small sauna, two different tubs, either hot or cold depending on what the user wished for. Makeshift herbs had been acquired for Moka's use, most were grown locally and could be gathered quickly. It also room for a shower, which had yet to be installed. They had been given a maid (which Moka had insisted would be Siesta) for keeping the small apartment building cleaned up and running smoothly. She would also help with various tasks in the building.

Most of the mages working on the project were exhausted by the end of the day; they all received countless smiles, thanks, and/or handshakes of gratitude from the new residents. Many students were surprised at the accommodations they had been given on such short notice. Louise had come by and approved of the building for her familiars, and thanked all who had worked on it. She also asked that someone come wake her up at dawn so she could get ready for the day.

Siesta on the other hand was at a level of nervousness she had only previously shown when Count Mott came to the Academy to search for a new toy. She would be helping actual monsters keep their house clean, she didn't know what she would discover, and paled at what could happen to her.

Tsukune saw her emotional firestorm and walked up to her, "Miss Siesta, you have nothing to fear from any of us. We aren't a bunch of savages, we have manners and we don't eat human beings. So relax, there are perks for working for us you know." Siesta saw him give a genuine smile and found herself relaxed by it. She was entranced by Tsukune, his physical scars and physique were stunning, and had already made her faint before. She could only hope she was falling love with such an amazing man.

'He'd be an amazing catch to bring home to see the family, human or not. I bet he could do amazing things with that body, as well as what's attached . . .'

Tsukune saw her face go beet red and start to drool from the thought, and had to stifle a laugh. That sort of attention was something he was used to, but he wasn't going to call the young maid out on it.

'Just another day I suppose.'


Familiar Dorms

Early Morning

Tsukune found himself up just before dawn, and stretched out, making a noticeable series of "Pops" across his body. His own injuries from the day before had long since healed, and left a small clean scar on his already scarred chest. He changed into clothes that had been provided for him by the school, a basic mage robe with none of the flashier bits. Given the size of it however, it was rather comfortable to wear.

Tsukune washed his face and went outside in the Court, where dawn was just starting to poke through. He was not unnoticed however, as several students began to watch as he silently jogged towards the dorm where Louise's room was.

He easily went up three stairs at a time, slowing down only for students and staff who were up and about at that hour. He went over to Louise's room knocked on the door, and entered.

He found little Louise asleep in her bed, quietly giving off a slight snore from her comical open mouth. Tsukune began to hear her talking in her sleep, "Chi-nee-sama . . . quit pinching my cheeks . . ." The sleep talking stopped as soon as it started, as the snores continued, unabated. Tsukune frowned, he hated to do this, but he had to get Louise up and get her going for the morning. As a former student himself, he knew the drag of waking up early.

"Louise, it's time to wake up!" Tsukune began pushing on her shoulders as the little strawberry blonde slowly roused from her sleep.

"Mynah. 5 for minutes Mother." Tsukune couldn't stifle a laugh and let it out, just as Louise woke up completely, smacking him straight in the jaw with her pillow. It hit with a remarkable amount of force given Louise's dainty size and strength.

"WHO ARE YOU?! And what are you doing in my room!"

Tsukune simply deadpanned, "I'm your familiar, waking you up as you asked Louise."

"That's not possible . . . oh wait, I remember. Never mind. Help me dress"

"Help you dress? Ahh!" Tsukune turned away to see Louise stripping out of her night gown, now completely naked. He had little interest in getting a nosebleed out of someone underage as Louise.

"We are getting dangerously close to kiddy porn territory here!"

"Why are you behaving that way? Servants always dress their masters for the day, it is not a sexual act, nor is it intended to be crude or disturbing."

"Where I am from Louise, dressing someone, regardless of who they are is an act of intimacy, especially for young adults like us. I don't even dress or see my mate without some clothing on, let alone naked. Well I did see Kurumu naked once . . ." Tsukune noticeably shivered at the sight.

Louise sighed, pointed to her dresser and closet, "Just pull out a skirt, a blouse, a mantle, and a pair of underwear. I'll handle this since you clearly can't do so yourself." Tsukune grabbed all the clothes, but found himself rethinking his decision as he picked up a pair of panties from the dresser.

'Little pink bow? Really?'

"Give it here fam-Tsukune," Louise spoke somewhat louder than before, and Tsukune turned around, relieved that his responsibilities were mostly over. "So why were you so disturbed at seeing Kurumu naked Tsukune?"

Tsukune found himself nearly jumping out of his skin at Louise's question, "I was unprepared for the, ahem, image of a naked woman showing up as I was bathing privately." 'Real smooth idiot!'

Louise was obviously unconvinced, "Uh huh, well it's no matter, time to head down to breakfast and then class."


Alviss Hall

Breakfast went as it normally did, however today was rather different then most days. Instead of students approaching Louise to antagonize her, most were staying well clear. Everyone had heard of the duel that went bad yesterday, leaving Montmorency in critical condition. People were relieved to hear that she would recover fully from her injuries, particularly Guiche, who found himself personally responsible.

Louise sat down at her typical spot at the table and began to eat breakfast, as Tsukune stood at parade rest by the wall. He kept an eye out for any potential troublemakers who would be a problem for him and Louise.

Kirche approached Louise, "So Zero, did you hear? Your familiars almost killed Montmorency; I heard the Palace may get involved, what are you going to do about it?" Louise noted Kirche's attempt to get a rise out of her, but she was in no mood to play the Germanian's game. She continued to eat, uninterested in anything Kirche had to say to her.

Louise knew she was in serious trouble, being called to the Headmaster's office was never a good thing, and yesterday was no exception. There was little doubt that the Church and the Palace would become involved in the events that had taken place at the Academy. What they would do however remained to be seen, though her familiars weren't terribly concerned.

"Valliere! You even in there?" Kirche began tapping her knuckles against Louise's head.

Tsukune sighed, 'I best get involved to prevent a blow up. I don't need her making another rash decision like the other night.'

"Kirche, if you would please stop smacking your knuckles against Louise?"

Kirche gave a shriek and nearly jumped through the roof. 'How did he sneak up on me like that?'

Tsukune smiled politely, the Germanian did nothing but annoy him. Dealing with annoying girls and their hormones was something of a specialty for him, time to have a little fun.

Kirche got defensive, "You aren't going to try anything on me are you?" She spoke in an obviously flirtatious tone, a tone which Tsukune couldn't resist going after her for.

"Depends, what would you like me to try on you?" Tsukune gave Kirche a sly grin and a flash of red, cat eyes. He could immediately feel her heart rate rising, she clearly enjoyed the attention, but it was time to cut their visit short, "Louise, I am going to head back to the house and make sure the girls are up alright?"

"Alright, just be back for class Tsukune," Louise responded, not turning from her waffles. Tsukune nodded and stuck out her tongue at Kirche, getting the reaction he had hoped for, before running off.

Tabitha had shown up and had little to say as usual.

"Pervert."


Familiar Dorms

Tsukune ran back to the dorms to find Sylphid, Tabitha's dragon resting comfortably next to the house, clearly comfortable with the presence the Yokai familiars gave her.

'Dragon is obviously smart, and knows where the safest place in the Academy is,' Tsukune mused silently as he ran back into the house. He got half way through the house before seeing a nearly naked Yukari being chased by an equally bare Kurumu being chased around the common area. Tsukune found the sight so funny he actually blended into the shadows to see just how wild it got. He had fun with Kirche, now it was time to have fun with his girls.

Kurumu had tackled Yukari to the ground and began tickling her all over her body, getting massive giggles and laughter out of both of them. Tsukune sighed; it was time to end this game, if anything for the sake of NOT getting a bloody nose. He cleared his throat, and looked to the two half naked teenagers with a sly grin, "What? Didn't invite me?"

To say the girls' reaction was spectacular would be underselling it, "TSUKUNE! DON'T LOOK!" In addition to their outburst they both managed to pale and blush darker then blood simultaneously, leaving a rather entertaining color palette on their faces.

He began to chuckle and just walked towards the stairs and went up, time to make sure the rest of the girls were up and about. It was almost time for class and they needed to learn as much as they could about this world so they could learn to survive.

'It is like we are a big, happy family. In a way, I hope that this never ends for us,' Tsukune found a warm smile across his face, as well as slightly wet eyes.

'Happiness.'


A/N: Chapter 3 is done! My one shot for my SC/FOZ Crossover Season Interlude should be out late this month, so stay tuned!

NOTE! The Next actual chapter is coming out April 2nd or 3rd (THE HIATUS IS OVER!), it turns out I will be out of town (and out of internet range) over Easter with family. So it'll be a few extra days!
