Rosario to Human
After some thought on the subject, and the lack of response to my inquiry to convince me otherwise, I've decided to keep the Swimming Club and Newspaper Club separate. Otherwise it might take me longer than usual to complete this chapter.
Oh and let's not forget one important thing.
Disclaimer: I do not own Rosario + Vampire storyline, background, characters and similar media. Nor did I have any hand in the creation of either media. Other familiar concepts, ideas, and characters are also not my own. In short, I am not worth the lawsuit charges.
Chapter 3: Extracurricular Dilemma
The hallways of Yokai Academy were lined with various stalls with club representatives whom called out to first years and senior students who have decided to change extracurricular clubs this year for various reasons. Many were overjoyed and curious as to what these school mandatory activities offered. Very few were experienced with after school clubs present in the schools of the Human Realm.
Only one sealed vampire was less than pleasant towards the idea of a club, let alone a mandatory club, as Tsukune read a manga copy within his hands and walked along side his classmates and acquaintances who had a far more pleasant attitude towards that day's assignment. To escape his present situation and dive into the world presented upon the printed pages before him. Or at least attempted to read the manga copy in his hand with one overtly perverted tween that hung form his arm. There were days to which he cursed the chiverous code of honor that was both instilled into him by human culture to help those in need that were weaker or more unfortunate then himself. This was one of those days.
"What are you reading, Tsukune-san?" Moka asked as she noticed how rather uncomfortable the vampire appeared. Of either the idea of clubs or the tween witch who literally clung to both he and herself, she was not sure.
"A manga which features a comedic story that involves situations and outcomes of its principle characters." Tsukune answered and preyed to whatever deity or supreme being that felt pity for the orphaned vampire that no more questions would be asked.
"What's it about?" Yukari asked.
"Is it any good?" Kichirou added as he looked over Tsukune's shoulder and looked at the manga pages held back by the vampire's fingers.
After he mentally added gods and goddesses upon his hit list, Tsukune answered. "Zeinasu, on the surface and through much of the story, follows the basic formula of one's typical harem manga. To summarize the overall situation, five girls with rather distinct personalities saw their childhood friend and sweetheart upon the first day of upper secondary school after nearly a ten year absence. Kutsuuzazu Zeinasu, the titular protagonist, had grown into an intelligent young man with a rather bishonen physique that would be the apple of any in-law's eye. However he suffers from gynophobia and so socially awkward that he is almost a hikikomori. For some strange reason or another, these girls have developed an idea that if one of them were to somehow 'cure' his phobia and social awkwardness that he would want to date, and eventually marry, that girl." Tsukune explained. "I believe one can theorize the outcome of this thought pattern and the resulting plans."
"Sounds like a fuckin' laugh riot." Kichirou commented. "But that's gotta be boring after a while, right?"
"When the plot cycle begins to stale," Tsukune began. "That is when the overall plot and featured stories become serious and...dark compared to earlier chapters. I typically avoid such stories when I am in need to 'brighten my day' as it were. Especially after my first reading sessions with those stories."
"Why don't you finish the story?" Yukari asked almost innocently.
"It is because the last time Tsukune-sama read those chapters, despite his superior intellect, it took the combined effort of myself, his cousin and both of his parents to reason him out of suicide chuu." Koumori answered before Tsukune could silence the bake-bake bat. The words were enough for Kichirou to whistle from the seriousness of the outcome in addition to cause Moka and Yukari to gasp in surprise and shock.
"What prevents your tongue to reveal to them any more unpleasantries of my personal history?" Tsukune inquired rhetorically with venom.
"Should I chuu?" Koumori's response was the impact of the manga's cover with such force that the wall he crashed into had spider web-like cracks which radiated away from the now injured bake-bake bat.
"So what club should we join?" Kichirou brought back the topic of conversation to the reason why all the stalls were assembled and the first year students were given the rest of that day off from academia. The bluenette succubus then noticed a group of girls who ogled at his attractive form. He simply blew them a kiss and those girls fainted in ecstacy.
"It's still too early to decide." Moka advised. "We should visit the other clubs since they went through all the trouble to set up."
"Hai, we should check out what they have to offer as clubs desu." Yukari agreed.
Tsukune sighed before he pocketed the manga in his hand. "I guess it would be 'interesting' to see what other monsters consider 'clubs'."
The word "interesting" that the vampire spouted was a poor choice of words for these clubs that the student body of Yokai Academy have established. The lone representative of the Phantom Photography Club thought that Moka would be an excellent model, and wondered if nude photos would be acceptable. The response from Tsukune was less than legally civil as the group left behind a crater in the floor. The response to the Chemistry's Club offer to the pinkette to create love potions with the displace human was equally similar.
Thus for the majority of the club stalls the group visited, the overall response was that of either the club representative's poor attempts to draw the attention of Moka for lustful purposes or that the club activities were so bizarre that it was not even considered "normal" by human terms such as the Acupuncture Club and Mummy Club. To put the overall situation of the group in summary, they began to run out of choices for clubs. The only one who enjoyed the strange quest given to the group was Kichirou who either found the overall response of the girls and Tsukune to be humorous for mention or occupied when he was flirted with the female representatives or first years that he encountered.
"It would be apparent to the most observant of our group that our task of membership into a club has resulted in less than satisfactory." Tsukune noted. "I can only conclude that the majority of these clubs are ill suited for co-habitation training in the human world."
"I don't know..." Yukari pondered. "The Chemistry Club didn't seem that bad-"
"If one has 'less than noble' ideas of their own." Tsukune countered the moment he recalled the love potion offer.
"I'd probably get board anyway." Kichirou then flipped a lock of blue hair as a favor to a group of, surprisingly, third year students who reacted more like fangirls then senior students.
"There has to be at least something normal right?" Moka asked the group.
"Then why not join the Swimming Club?" The quintette then turned and saw a rather attractive, green-haired elder student who wore a rather risque style of bikini swim wear beneath both a piece of silken fabric in the sarong fashion and the academy uniform blouse that hung from her shoulders unbuttoned. While both Kichirou and Koumori stared at this new women with lustful eyes, the pinkette and little witch noticed joyfully that Tsukune had none of the expected physical reaction of the typical male of that age. "I am Ichinose Tamao, captain of the Swimming Club. Why don't we swim together?"
It was then that Moka had a daydream fantasy of both the vampire youth and herself engaged in a rather enjoyable and ultimately romantic time in the pool. So invested in her summertime dreamscape that she and Yukari, who was occupied with her own lustful thoughts, that they completely missed the rather suggestive gesture when Ichinose lightly touched Tsukune's cheeks. "Though the Swimming Club is all female, I'm sure that the senior members would give extra attention to any boys who decide to join the club."
The offer had not gone unnoticed to many first year schoolboys who heard the offer. It was a simple miracle that students were not trampled to death in the riot-powered stamped. Tsukune, however, politely declined as he moved the seductive digits from his face. "I would have to decline such a lucrative offer, Ichinose-sempai. I'm sure that some of my acquaintances would not like the idea of-"
"We-well it couldn't hurt to at least check the Swimming Club out before we decide if we should join or not, right?" Moka attempted to salvage her summertime dream the moment she heard the vampire decline the offer of membership.
"Hai! We should see how its like!" Yukari agreed, her out-of-age lust blinded her of the monster encyclopedia that she had stored within her otherwise prodigy mind.
"And I could use some swimming lessons myself." Kichirou lied after he saw the opportunity to find more "friends" to pass the schooldays and enjoy what was left of his teenage youth years. "And I believe that we have ourselves a majority vote."
Tsukune could only perform a silent yet annoyed groan as he followed the group and the Swimming Club captain to the school pool. Koumori could only shake his head as a single thought ran through the young vampire's own. 'Water... Why did it have to be water...?'
When the quintette arrived at the school pool, they found that it was decorated and constructed more like a festival or even a college spring break destination sponsored by some music video centered cable program then a club exposition. There were even male students who interviewed the bikini-clad members with microphones which only added to the overall surreal moment of the atmosphere. Only Tsukune continued to don the academy uniform.
Yukari and Moka, who borrowed swimwear from the club, only felt ire as Kurumu in her own yellow bikini began to suffocate the vampire youth in her well endowed bosom in greeting. The only joy they felt in that encounter, beyond Tsukune's stubborn refusal towards the bluenette's seductive advancement, was that Kurumu promised not to use her charm ability on him. Not if she did not want to earn the eternal ire of her Mate of Fate.
"Kurono-chan, what are you doing here?" Tsukune asked the moment after he was given a breath of fresh air. The air given to him due to the intervention of Yukari who summoned a wash bin to land upon the bluenette succubus' head.
Kurumu rubbed the bump that now grew atop of her head before she answered. "Well, I've come to join the Swimming Club along with my Destined One!" The bluenette succubus then pressed her physical assets against the vampire youth as she caressed his chest. "Tsu-ku-ne, why don't you teach me how to swim..?" She asked seductively.
"Kurono-chan, as much as it would pain me to rescue you from your delusionary fantasy world, I must confess that I- What has gotten into you?" Tsukune exclaimed as Kurumu undid one of the ties that held up one of the straps of her bikini. It now hung dangerously loose from the succubus' shoulders.
"Oh my, my breasts are hurting..." The bluenette noted seductively, much to the chagrin of Moka and Yukari. "Is this swim suit a little too small, Tsukune?" She fingered the lower piece of her swimsuit rather erotically.
"Tsukune-san! Teach me and Moka-san how to swim as well!" Yukari was forced into action as she embraced the now nervous faced vampire.
"What are you doing? Tsukune is my Mate of Fate!" Kurumu attempted to free Tsukune from the little witch's arms. It soon devolved into a tug of war contest.
"How is that possible?"
"Give it up you flat-chested girl!"
"It's not like bigger is better!"
"Oh, well when I was your age, I was already this size." Kurumu teased in a rather seductive pose.
Yukari looked upon her own frame before she retorted. "I heard that large breasts sag early."
"Y-you're saying that my breasts will sag..." The bluenette succubus did not take the factoid well. She then held the young witch in a head lock as punishment for the insult. "You little brat!"
"What are you doing, you milk cow?" Yukari reversed their position and she pulled upon Kurumu's hair as she road her like a horse. The position of the dominator and dominated cycled again as again as the two monster girls exchanged insults in their ever present argument.
"You don't even wear a bra yet!"
"That doesn't matter!"
Tsukune sighed from the display before he turned towards Kochirou. "Kurono-san, could you, at the very least, enlighten your twin- huh?" The vampire was confused as the bluenette incubus no longer stood with them. Though not long afterwards, he found the misplaced classmate amongst the throng of rather attractive members of the Swimming Club. "One would have expected that I should not be so surprised by the incubus' actions by now..."
Moka laughed nervously at the whole affair before she looked at the now busy pool area. It would seem that it was too busy at that moment to try and have a rather romantic swim with the young vampire. "You're trying to seduce Tsukune-kun too, aren't you?" Mizore's sudden appearance caused the pinkette to fall into the water.
"M-Mizore-chan! Don't scare me like that- Hey!" Moka then spotted the yuki onna take advantage of the overall situation as she snuggled close to Tsukune's own body.
"Sh-Shirayuki-san, are you not too close to my own body?" Tsukune inquired rather nervously.
"You're scared of the water, aren't you? I can see it in your eyes." Mizore whispered in a half tease, half concerned fashion. "The others are too selfish to have noticed, but I can help you conquer that fear, if you let me..."
"What are you doing to my Destined One?" Kurumu violently pulled the Yuki Onna from Tsukune's arms. The appearance of a wash bin signaled Yukari's involvement in the argument over Tsukune's vampire heart.
Later on, upon the rather elaborate but makeshift stage, Kurumu emerged and signaled the start of the All-Girls Swimming Event sponsored by the Swimming Club. "Everyone! It's starting!" Many of the male applicants for the club began to cheer as the bluenette succubus took hold of the microphone stand and began to sing. "Anata ga suki to tokimeku furuutsu ga! Bikini kara hachikiresou? Purun purun poron!" The mostly male crowd cheered even more as the succubus continued the song.
anata no haato hitorijime shitakute
kizukanai furi chirari to kiwadoi poozu
na no ni...
The senior members of the Swimming Club, plus one witch and one succubus, were then separated into the Red Team and White Team and participated in the All-Girls Obstacle Race. The entire course was rather simplistic since it involved a tunnel and a triangular wall, however a majority of the participants were entrapped within the tunnel. The first to emerge was Yukari as she slipped past the competitors rather easily.
kocchi wo minai shainesu booi
kimemashita gouin ni icchau!
"I don't know why my tears can't stop flowing desu!" The little witch complained as she rushed towards the wall that she was meant to climb. However on the first try she slammed into the obstacle rather ingloriously.
yahhu yahuhu~
Sun Sun Sun parasoru no shita de kami no
hoshi no ribon wo hodoite shigekiteki na himitsu ageru

anata wo tokiko ni shichau chanto hitomi wo mite

The next even, the All-Girls Limbo on Water, featured a member of each team paddle up towards the suspended bar and must lean backwards in order to pass beneath without fail. When the succubus and little witch competed against one another, the well endowed Kurumu could not get low enough and her breasts caused her to fail the event.
tokibetsu no amai manatsu no suiitsu wa
ikaga desho dakitsuita no
punin punin mugyun
"I should be happy, but my tears came flowing again desu..." Yukari wiped her eyes after she recovered from the limbo.
awateta kao ga nan da ka nikurashii
mou sukoshi warui ijiwaru shikakechau kara
datte...
Later on, the Red and White Teams competed in another game atop a platform, the All-Girls Push and Shove Game, and attempted to push their fellow competitors into the water with their own bodies rather their limbs in order to outlast each other to gain victory for both themselves and their respective team. Almost naturally, Kurumu and Yukari competed.
koibito rain kosezu ni
suki na no ni kuchibiru ga tooi yo
"It hurts desu!" Yukari was crushed in between the hips of two competitors when suddenly Kurumu knocked her into the water.
yahhu yahuhu~
Sun Sun Sun wazato kenka shite nigeru
namiuchigiwa de motsurete nureta suhada tsukamaete ne
Non Non Non furuete iru kedo heiki
anata no jiyuu ni shite to sotto toiki de iu

"Yahoo!" Kurumu celebrated as the little witch's own rage splashed against the pool water.
"I won't forgive you desu!"
Near the chain-linked fence were Moka, Mizore, and Tsukune as the sat upon their own pool chairs. The pinkette and purple haired girls sat on either side of the vampire. Both girls looked upon the worried face of Tsukune with concern while occasionally they will glance at each other with ire. Moka would have preferred if Mizore would have returned to her stalker ways and view Tsukune from afar rather then be so close to the vampire youth. Mizore, likewise, would have enjoyed her day with Tsukune better if Moka was not present.
Tsukune, meanwhile, looked upon the entire affair of the Swimming Club with a troubled brow. There was something that raised alarm bells deep within himself beyond the water. However, the though process was interrupted occasionally each time Koumori drooled as he ogled at the swimwear clad Swimming Club and especially when the bikini tops suddenly unraveled. The vampire's response was to flick his finger into the Bake-Bake bat that immediately halted such actions. It was approximately the fifteenth flick when Kochirou walked up to the quartet. "I can understand Moka-chan and Mizore-chan's ire, but why aren't you enjoyin' the festivities like a guy like us should?"
"Something is amiss." Tsukune answered. "A dark omen in the air."
"Let me guess," Kochirou twirled his finger in the air. "The event is nothing more then shameless exposition of the woman's physique for the sake of men's enjoyment and pleasure." Kochirou rolled his eyes as he spouted what he considered pointless propaganda.
"That fact as well." Tsukune further explained. "However, the truth remains that beyond Akashiya-san, Shirayuki-san, Sendo-san, and Kurono-chan, there are no other female applicants for the Swimming Club. All others are male. I cannot help but feel that the combination does not equal good intentions."
"There were no other female club applicants Tsukune-sama chuu?" Koumori asked after he recovered from the rather painful finger flick of a sealed vampire.
"The fact that you have now noticed this discrepancy in the application population demonstrates your poor perception abilities Koumori." Tsukune almost monotonously chastised his Bake-Bake retainer. Koumori simply cowered in embarrassment.
"Ya probably readin' too deeply into the whole thing." Kochirou reassured Tsukune. "It's probably no more harmful then paranoid delusion- Oh hello there!" The bluenette incubus' attention turned from concern to his friend and classmate towards attractive seniors of the Swimming Club who were not occupied with the pool games. After a look of ire from the pinkette and violette towards the incubus for the fact that he clearly abandoned a friend in need for prettier girls, both Moka and Mizore turned back towards Tsukune.
The vampire in question looked at the pool with barely hidden horror and fear. Tsukune's mind then recalled a terrible memory from his past, one in which elder children threw him into the municipal pool and kept his head submerged. Their only response to his thrashed limbs and water filled pleas of mercy were smirks and snickers. They had tormented him simply because he looked different and it took the mere presence of police officers to free the child vampire. However, in that memory, the look upon the faces of those enforcers of law and order suggested to Tsukune that the thought within their mind was that they shouldn't have intervened.
Soon enough, the games have reached the midpoint of the entire event as Yukari appeared upon the stage. "Let's go everyone desu!" The young witch exclaimed as she used her wand to make the microphone stand disappear. She then caught the microphone before it even hit the ground and began to sing. "Atsukai ni chuui! mou watashi! Kodomo ja nai desu otome desu! Renai kurai wa shiteru desu! Anata dake no mono!"
Then the All-Girls Race on Water game began as the all female competitors faced each other and their own sense of balance towards victory or else faced elimination in the water. In one such race, the bluenette succubus herself was victorious as she one by her well endowed assets. "Yahohoo! I'm first!"
majikaru sutekki furi nagara
anata no haato o neraiuchi

to~doka~nai~
The two teams competed yet again in the All-Girls Toss Game on Water game to which the competitors must toss as many of the balls with their team colors into the suspended basket for victory. Yukari, however, was held back in her throw from her rather strange position as Kurumu's breasts laid atop of the little witch's own head.
pararisharurin pararisharurun
koi o kanaeru mahou ga
majikaru shite mirakuru shite
Yes? No? romansu desu
"Hey! You're getting in my way desu!"
"Oh my, I didn't notice..." The bluenette noted absentmindedly. It was unknown to all who listened if she either told a lie or the honest truth.
zunou wa meiseki! kono watashi
nandemo dase masu tarai desu!
tsuyoi teki ni mo make masen
anata dake misete!
It was then time for the final game, the All girls Horseback Fight. The final even that will show which team were the more successful players. The horseback rules were simple: Take the colored hat of the opposing team to disqualify them from victory.
majikaru sutekki furi nagara
karei ni dashi masu rabu biimu
demo ne demo ne itsumo itsumo
ha~zushi~chau~
"White and black- No, we must settle this between the whites and reds desu!" Yukari mused as she awaited the signal to begin the mock battle. Soon enough, the whistle was blown and Yukari ordered her team to advance. "Let's go!"
nekutsu yokisu~ nekutsu dakisu~
koi ni yoku kiku mahou ga
kirakira shite fuwafuwa shite
happii hakobi masu
The two teams then wrestled with one another atop of their compatriots. Several were successful in the elimination of their opponents while a noticeable number used dirty tricks such as to steal the opponent's swimwear tops to force them to cover themselves and leave their colored hats exposed to capture.
pararisharurin pararisharurun
koi o kanaeru mahou ga
majikaru shite mirakuru shite
Yes? No? romansu desu
Yukari was simply too short to reach for Kurumu's colored headband all the while the succubus could only chuckle at the little witch's plight. Moments later, the bluenette took the white band hat off of Yukari's head and proclaimed victory. "Yahohoo!"
In frustration, the little witch stole Kurumu's bikini top. "Hey Yukari-chan! That's cheating!" Kurumu exclaimed as she covered herself.
"Your huge breasts are just too much!" Yukari argued back and the game soon became a fierce argument.
The pool had calmed down since the end of the Swimming Club sponsored games. Many of the club applicants were taught how to swim by the senior members of the club. If it is true that they need to learn how to swim or just an excuse to get close to the attractive seniors was up to debate.
Even so, Tsukune still refused to don any form of swimwear, much less enter the water. "I just do not find the act of swimming to be that exiting an activity." Tsukune defended. In the background, Yukari and Kurumu argued about bust sizes and Tsukune as usual.
"Are you sure you don't want to try?" Moka nearly begged. "The water isn't that bad."
"The harlot is correct." Mizore agreed. "No matter the reason, your reaction is still irrational."
"What did you call me?"
"I...I heard highly disturbing stories about urination in pool water!" Tsukune countered as he sweated. His proximity to the edge of the pool and the size of the splashes did greatly to diminish his mental stability. "I prefer not to learn if such accounts are valid in such a fashion."
"Oh man," Kochirou chuckled from the exchange. "So stubborn like a little kid. It's still hard to believe that someone like a vampire would be so against going into the- Wait a minute..." The bluenette incubus then mentally strained to recall a factoid of vampires that he had heard some time ago. Then the sounds of violent splashes and yells of terror broke his concentration as he spied one of the senior members, who then sported a fish-like tail, bite one of the male club applicants and the poor boy aged before Kochirou's eyes. "Uh oh..."
"I'll show you then!" Moka was so focused in her attempt to bring Tsukune out of his fear of the water that she did not notice the mermaid members suck the youth and life force out of the applicants when she stepped into the pool. She then turned back towards Tsukune. "See? I'm alright, nothing bad happened."
"Not yet." Kochirou then brought the pinkette and the rest of the group's attention towards the mermaid buffet that the Swimming Club has made of the male applicants.
"Wh-what's going on?" Moka exclaimed as she attempted to climb out of the pool. However, her progress was retarded when the Swimming Club captain intervened. "Ich-Ichinose-sempai?"
"I can't simply let you leave. Not when you smell so good, like a human." The club captain then reverted into her true mermaid form, much to Moka's horror. "I've noticed your scent ever since the opening ceremony. It's just too delicious to ignore, and your life force must also be equally delectable."
Of all the monsters Tsukune could have faced at the academy, the vampire had to contend with a monster who calls the water their home and domain. "We have to do something! Kurono-chan! Kuruno-san! Fly over the pool and see if you can rescue the others from the mermaids! Sendo-san, do you have any spells that could-"
"Too cowardly to go into the water yourself?" Ichinose teased villainously, with caught Tsukune's attention and that of the group. "But what else is to be expected of a water hater like you? Or is it because your true nature is weak against water?"
Both Mizore and Moka were shocked from the realization that struck them not unlike a bullet. The words of Koumori's worry when Tsukune demanded a cup of water on the first day of classes should have clued them the reason the young vampire feared water. The universal solvent was a vampire's weakness, one with deadly consequences if he were to even touch the liquid. The two girls mentally chastised themselves for their selfishness as Ichinose continued.
"Either way, you cannot do anything while out of the water. So why don't a cowardly weakling like yourself just-" The mermaid captain was silenced when Tsukune leaped towards her and slammed his fist into her face.
However, it was the momentary glance downwards towards his own reflection did Tsukune realize his error. "...Oh...curse me-" His body slammed into the water. The moment his flesh touched the liquid, his supernatural aura began to short circuit across his entire body and caused immense pain as Tsukune shrieked horribly.
"Tsukune-sama chuu!" Koumori exclaimed in horror.
"Oh no! If we don't do anything to save Tsukune-san, the purification properties of the water will drain him of his energy and ultimately kill him desu!" Yukari explained in a panic.
Almost by instinct, Moka rushed towards Tsukune's flailed and pained form. She was then able to take off the rosario from the choker around his neck and unsealed the vampiric powers deep within his body. The supernatural aura alone was enough to cause the pool water to churn and boil as Tsukune rose from the water with a face marred with anger. "Call me weak one more time! I fucking dare you!"
Several of the male applicants that were strong enough used the opportunity to escape the pool and rescue their own lives. "How dare you interrupt our meal- You're a vampire?" Ichinose gasped as she felt the power of the vampiric aura as if it were an inferno. However, she quickly recovered. "No matter, your weakness is our domain..!" The mermaid seniors then used their tails to splash water onto Tsukune's body and cause additional torment to arc throughout his body.
However, the barrage of waves were forcibly concluded as Kurumu, Yukari, and Mizore used their respective abilities to halt the attack. "I'll thank you three for the help once I figured out how, but right now I got a bitch fish to handle." Tsukune growled. It was enough of an insult for Ichinose to dash towards the wounded vampire youth in anger. He then summoned an aura platform to jump off from and into the air, to which the mermaid captain followed.
"How stupid a vampire is, to escape into the air when they are so vulnerable!" Ichinose then reached out towards Tsukune with her deadly maw. "Now die!"
"...Got ya cunt." Tsukune smirked as he brought his hands together and slammed them atop of the mermaid captain's head. The force of which was powerful enough to knock her out and have her land into a pool cleaning net. It was an ironic display as Tsukune landed almost gracefully outside the pool.
However, he soon collapsed to his knees and caused the rest of the group to rush towards him in worry and panic. "Tsukune-san! Are you alright-"
"How dare you even show some concern towards Tsukune-sama, how dare any of you chuu!" Koumori chastised the group. "Your selfish desires have blinded each and every one of you to Tsukune-sama's plight chuu! You don't understand him at all chuu! None of you deserve to even be within Tsukune-sama's presence-"
"Koumori." Tsukune called for the Bake-Bake bat's attention.
"Um, yes Tsukume-sama chuu?"
"Shut up." Tsukune commanded, and it was then that he felt the presence of Saizou Komiya.
"It's Saizou-san!" Moka exclaimed.
"Crap, why of all times..!" Kochirou as the now healed monster approached Tsukune.
"Well isn't this my lucky day? First day out of my bandages and I find you in a weakened, pathetic state." Saizou then transformed into his true self. "I'll repay the beating you gave me the other day and beat your ass so hard that- What the fuck are you doing?" Tsukune took hold of Saizou's hand and lead him towards the pool. He then dunked his foot into the water and soon both were engulfed with arcs of supernatural energy.
A moment after Saizou was knocked out from the discharge, Tsukune then took back the rosario that was within Moka's grasps. "I'm gonna skip checkin' out the other clubs and just go back to bed. I've had enough excitement for one day." And with those words, the vampire youth and his retainer retreated from the school pool.
"Why didn't that happen earlier desu?" Yukari questioned.
"Don't know, don't care. You should be glad that it didn't happen to Moka-chan." Kochirou noted as the group followed Tsukune and left behind a deep fried Saizou. His limbs continued to twitch from the pain and latent energy that coursed through his body.
For the next four days, Tsukune slept in a coma-like state as his body recovered from the incident with the Swimming Club. Throughout the duration of those four days, Koumori collected notes from the classes that the vampire would have otherwise attended. Additionally, the four girls argued weather who would take care of Tsukune as he recovered in bed. It was a natural wonder how such a being could sleep through the arguments that ran through his room.
However, one he had awaken from his recovery slumber, Tsukune had entered into a sour mood the moment he realized that he had not chosen a club. All other clubs were either too strange to join or no longer took any more new members. It was at that point as the group walked down the hall that Nekonome approached them. "So, have any of you chosen a club to join?"
"No," Moka answered. "Some things have occurred and well-"
"Splendid! Then would you consider joining the Newspaper Club?" Nekonome asked.
Tsukune replied with the first thing that came to his mind. "In consideration to the horrifically limited options we have at the moment for the mandatory requirement, what other choice do we have for ourselves?"
And thus concludes the third chapter in the Rosario to Human saga, next up will be the Newspaper Club affair and its president. However, will events continue as they were in cannon or will there be a change in the usual tale?
As for Saizou, well I have considered turning this otherwise occasional villain into a running gag, to which the Outcast Ayashi bully would challenge Tsukune the moment he recovers, only to have the vampire defeat him so pathetically easy. How will this evolve throughout the corse of this tale? Will it change how the rosario gang cross swords with the other Outcast Ayashi and Anti-Thesis? I don't know, but I'll figure something out in the meantime.
And in case anyone is wondering (though I am highly doubtful), Zeinasu as a manga does not exist so don't even try to find it. It's simply something I made up and would eventually (meaning never) will be created. Perhaps I should test out the story using anime characters as stand-ins instead...?
As always, no flames nor brutally honest reviews will be tolerated.
