CHAPTER 3 – WORTH

Everyone stood there as terror struck their hearts, not knowing what to do or say as they watched the man continue to twirl his hair around his finger. Issa looked around the room and stopped once his eyes landed on three of his four daughters. The first to say anything was Kokoa when she asked her father. "Daddy, why are you here?" Issa's facial expression didn't change at all as his gaze focused on his youngest daughter.

"I have come for numerous reasons, One is that I have important business to discuss with the Head Master. Two, to see my two youngest daughters who I haven't seen for quite some time…. And third to meet this Tsukune Aono I have heard so much about and to determine his worth."

Everyone's face was now covered in worry as they turned and looked at their friend. On the outside Tsukune stood confident and didn't show any sign of fear, but on the inside his heart couldn't beat any faster and he was as scared as hell.

"Father, what do you mean by determine his worth?" Kokoa asked.

"It's simple. In one hour's time him and I shall meat on the outskirts of this school and duel. Then and there I shall determine his worth, and if he is truly worthy of my youngest daughters hand. I have heard much about you from Aqua. She says that you are the only man that she would let have her Moka and also that you were the one who defeated Gyokuro."

"Father, you were there don't you remember anything?" Moka asked.

Issa turned to look at his other daughter as he began to explain the situation, still without changing his blank facial expression.

"Moka, you see, I had originally joined with her in an in tempt to destroy the human scum, but when her plans grew bigger and bigger and even to the point of killing up to three of my daughters I told her to stop and to cancel her plans. I had let my guard down against her for I didn't fear my wife but she took that moment and entered toxin into my body. By doing so I was under her control and I have no memories of anything when I was her puppet. The next thing I knew I was awaking in my mansion with Aqua beside me."

Issa then flipped his cape as he turned around and began to walk away.

"Remember Tsukune Aono one hour at the cliff overlooking the sea at the edge of the barrier."

Everyone stood there not knowing what to think of the appearance and words of Issa at this moment. Tsukune's thoughts began to wonder from place to place while he thought of what was soon to happen. Would he live and gain Kokoa's fathers permission to be with her? Or would he die and never get the chance to truly be with her? His mind was brought back to reality when he felt a head leaning over his shoulder and someone say in his ear.

"Hey, Tsukune, my man if you die out there you don't care if I go back to taking pictures of Kokoa and your friend's right?"

"Waaaaah! Gin really!? Why did you ask me that know!?"

Tsukune turned around to see that Gin had woken up and was standing behind him with a huge grin on his face, and of course, camera in hand.

"You pervert!" Instantaneously Moka, Kurumu, Mizore, and Kokoa sent him flying into a wall and once he fell to the ground three golden washtubs again fell on top of him, causing him to be knocked out. Tsukune had to chuckle a little on the inside for he felt happy to know that no matter what happened these were his friends and they always would be. He turned and walked over to Kokoa and looked at her and looked into her eyes passionately and asked. "Kokoa, would you please go on walk with me?"

Kokoa nodded yes and they began to walk towards the cliff together. Right now Kurumu and Mizore desperately wanted to fallow them but knew that it would be best if they didn't. The two continued to walk in silence for quite some time being that neither one of them knew what to say. Finally they had reached the cliff where Tsukune would soon have his showdown with Issa.

Tsukune reached down and wrapped Kokoa's hand in his as he tried to comfort her inner fears.

"Kokoa,…. Don't worry I will prove to your father my worth and gain his permission to be with you one way or another."

"I know you will, Tsukune."

The two began to stare into each other's eyes.

"Oh Kokoa."

"Tsukune"

"Kokoa"

"Tsukune"

"Kokoa"

"What the hell is going on here!?" The two turned around to see Kurumu standing there along with the rest of the newspaper club (Minus Gin) Ruby, and the Head Master.

"What are you guys doing here?" Tsukune asked in a tone of surprise in his voice.

"We came because we wanted to support you and watch your fight. We all do even Gin said that he would be here." Kurumu replied.

Tsukune again let a smile appear on his face. He looked around at everyone standing there and was thankful to have so many friends. His look was caught by the head master though as he noticed that the head master had begun to walk towards Tsukune with a rather long box in hand.

"Tsukune, this is the parcel that you have requested. I originally planned to give it to you tomorrow after the dance, but I feel now would be a beater time."

Tsukune then graciously accepted the parcel while giving his thanks to the headmaster.

"What's in the box?" Kokoa asked. Tsukune gripped the box tighter and closed his eyes for a second as he thought of what the most appropriate response would be, soon he answered by saying .

"Hopefully my trump card for this battle."

They all waited there together and before long his aura could be felt it was obvious who it was for there was only one man with aura that intimidating. They turned to see that Issa and Aqua were slowly making their way to them. Tsukune stood strong as he watched them approach until finally he stood only a few feet in front of him. The two stood there staring for a moment until the headmaster spoke up.

"You two, I have constructed a barrier around all of us for that way when you two begin your fight the other students will not be harmed or get in the way."

"Thank you my old friend." Issa replied.

Tsukune also gave his thanks quickly after Issa did. The two continued to look at each other for a moment, and as they did every second that passed felt like hours to Tsukune and to his friends.

"I mentioned before that I am surprised that you were able to defeat Gyokuro for out of the hundreds no thousands of monsters to face her before you only four have ever managed to beat her, which makes you the 5th."

"Sir if you don't mind my asking who were the other four?"

Issa chuckled a little bit as he felt that was a fair enough question and being it was obvious that the other people in the room wanted to know as well, so he decided to tell him.

"The first was myself, the second my first wife and Moka's mother Akasha, third was Toho Fuhai,….and the fourth was my daughter Aqua."

"What Aqua nee san defeated Gyokuro!?" Moka asked.

Everyone was dumbfounded and all turned their gaze to Aqua who now stood beside her two sisters.

"Yes she was the fourth to defeat her and honestly it wasn't much of a fight."

"Why did the two fight in the first place, father?" Kokoa asked.

Issa just sighed as he begun to once again twirl his hair around his finger and began to speak once again.

"Not long after the incident where Akasha and Moka left people in the family where beginning to worry about what would happen if I left. They didn't know who to allow to become the new head for Gyokuro was new to the family and not everyone trusted her. So there was a debate about Gyokuro becoming the head of the family or if Aqua would. The two battled and whoever won also claimed the title of the next head of the family. Aqua won but turned down becoming the next head and allowed Gyokuro to remain heir to my thrown."

Everyone's mouth dropped for not a single one of them realized that Aqua was that strong.

"Well Tsukune Aono shall we begin?"

Tsukune sheepishly shook his head yes as he took a few steps back and got into a fighting stance. The two stared off until a leaf touched the barrier and was fried, the two took this as the mark to begin, so Tsukune instantly focused his yokai into the hand he was holding the box with which caused the box to instantly be shattered which reviled a long sword sheath.

"Hmph so your choice of weapon is a long sword, I see you favor offense." Issa stated as he and Tsukune charged each other. Being Issa was taller he came down with a punch from above. Tsukune raised his sword up and blocked the ferocious attack with the hilt of the sheath. As soon as the two connected Issa seemed to have vanished being he moved so fast to where he was behind tsukune. Issa took this moment to attack Tsukune from behind, but was quickly caught off guard when a blade came out from the bottom of the sheath. Issa effortlessly dodged this attack and took a step back and looked at his opponent and realized what had just happened. What Tsukune had in the sheath was not a long sword but a pair of dual kodachie's in one sheath.

(Authors note a kodachie is short sword that is in-between a katana and a dagger. Being that they are small and light weight they are extremely fast and good for defense but lack in the offense department.)

Tsukune then focused his yokai into his arms and formed the tounfas of light.

"I see you actually favor defense. While holding the swords facing forward you have a solid defense from frontal assaults, and with the tonfas of light facing the rear you have a good defense from attacks from behind and from the side. An all-around solid defense."

Issa then raised his arm and shot a blast of Yakai at his opponent. Tsukune instantly raised up his tonfa and managed to block the attack although it caused him to be sent flying back a little. The impact caused a small cloud of dust to rise around Tsukune and when it cleared Tsukune had a clear view of the grin on Issa's face as he said. "But let's see how long it lasts."

The two continued to attack and evade each other. Neither one had landed any real blows in this fight but it was obvious to their friends that Issa far outclassed Tsukune by the fact of he wasn't tired at all were Tsukune was and it looked as if he wasn't even trying.

Yukari poked Kurumu in the side and asked "Hey didn't Gin say he wanted to see this? Where is he? And how is he supposed to see if he can't get in the barrier."

"Don't worry for even if he can't get in he can still see in, and he will be here soon he is just a little preoccupied at the moment." The headmaster told her.

Kurumu just scuffed and mumbled "Yeah probably occupied taking pictures of girls."

MEANWHILE AT THE KARATE CLUB

Gin was walking swiftly as he approached the building that the karate club used to practice for he had urgent business to discus with the group's captain. He slid open the door to see many people in karate uniforms practicing martial arts and in the center of it all stood the man he was looking for.

"Haiji, I need to talk to you alone now."

The karate clubs captain stopped what he was doing and looked over at his old friend who just entered the building with a confused look on his face.

"Why? If you have something to tell me you can tell me in front of my friends can't you?"

Gin then shot Haiji a glare that would intimidate even a vampire as he said in a slow stern voice.
"Haiji, this is about them."

Haiji's facial expression instantly dropped as he looked at Gin dumbfounded.

"You don't…. You don't mean those bastards do you!?"

"Yes, I do. It's as you fear it's about those three; Takeru, Soujiro, and Jiro."

Haiji's face instantly turned back to being as serious as he was before as he turned around and yelled at his students.

"Alright hurry up and get the hell out! Go take a water break and after you drank go run some laps! Let's go people move it!"

Within a few moments the entire room was empty other than Haiji and gin. Haiji walked over and grabbed his water bottle and took a quick drink before he turned and meet gazes with Gin.

"Tell me, Gin, what the hell is happening?"

"Listen I have somewhere I haft to be so I'll make this quick."

"Stop bs en me Gin we both know that you're a werewolf and a fast one at that and if you wanted to you could get from here to anywhere in the barrier within a few moments."

Gin chuckled slightly as he put his hands in his pockets and looked at his friend.

"It's the absolute worst case scenario possible. It's like we feared the three of them have returned. Takeru, Soujiro, and Jiro are back and we both know what their after. I've already informed the Head Master. What I need to know is… will you help me? We barely made it out last time alive… the only difference this time is… we don't have them on our side instead we have them….. The newspaper club."

Haiji just grinned as he leaned back against the wall.

"You're damn right I'll help! I'll be damned to hell before I let those bastards come back and do what they want."

Gin grinned as he began to walk away.

"Don't worry about step one just go to step two. I've already been keeping them busy and making sure they haven't found out yet. Well see ya I'm off to go make sure that no one dies right before the big show."

Meanwhile at the cliff

Everyone watched their friend as the battle continued fiercely. It was obvious who had the upper hand, because while Tsukune had bruises all over his body and was bleeding from numerous places, Issa wasn't even breathing heavy. Tsukune looked up and glared at Issa as he thought desperately of a way to win this, and that's when it finally hit him.

"Hey, Issa you know what!? You're pretty full of yourself aren't you?"

"Your head is so full of hot air! You think you can control every aspect of your daughters lives and everyone else just because you have power don't you!?"

Tsukune's rants continued thus making Issa more and more pissed at Tsukune each and every time he opened his mouth. Tsukune's fellow newspaper club members watched in horror and started to figure that Tsukune had lost his mind.

"You little brat! You dare to insult me!? I'm an ancient being who has been alive for hundreds of years and you are just a little brat who hasn't even been alive for twenty!"

The aura around Issa grew slightly fiercer and his glare become even more piercing. His words shot through everyone like a cannon as he spoke.

"I think it's time I end this and teach you to know your place!"

Issa then formed in his palm a huge amount of yokai and released it all in a blast aimed directly for Tsukune. Tsukune took a deep breath and exhaled and began to make his move.

"It's now or never!"

Tsukune then put his forearms together and caused the tonfas of light to merge together, and when the blast struck him, by focusing more yokai into his arms he was able to reflect the blast back at Issa! When the enormous blast hit Issa an explosion was heard and a cloud of dust appeared. Everyone watched the cloud intensely, waiting to see what had become of Issa. Kokoa was feeling a mix of emotions. She didn't know if to be hopeful that her father actually received an injury and Tsukune would have proven his worth. Or to worry and hope her father was ok. Soon all guesses were answered when the cloud disappeared, leaving Issa to stand in its place. He hadn't received any serious wounds but for the first time in the entire battle Tsukune had managed to inflect injury upon him.

"I see, your plan was to infuriate me to the point to where I would decide to finish this in one blow and you would take that opportunity to unleash your power to reflect my attack back at me. I'm guessing you didn't do this before for it takes a lot of your energy and you wanted to take me by the element of surprise and hope to end me with one of my own strong attacks. Am I correct? If so I must admit that, that was a cleaver plan." Issa stated when standing there boldly while looking down at Tsukune.

"Yeah, that's exactly right." Tsukune replied while kneeling on the ground out of exhaustion.

Issa approached him and kicked him which sent him flying backwards. As soon as Tsukune landed he was kicked again and again. This process continued numerous times until Tsukune stopped moving. He just laid there emotionless and eyes closed. His body was completely racked with pain from his head down to his toes. The loud booming words that were being said right beside him he could barely hear.

"You pitiful x human scum! You dare think someone as pitiful as you can be with my daughter? Do you think I would hand over my thrown to the likes of you!? I don't see how someone like you could defeat my ex-wife in a million years!"

All of this made Tsukune want to get up and show him he had worth but he just couldn't. Then faint words that were barley even audible by the people who stood close to the speaker of them hit his ears and caused him to open his eyes.

"Tsukune,….Please."

These words were spoken by Kokoa and they were the only words he needed right now.

Issa had begun to walk away while saying.

"You will never have the right to be with any of my daughters."

!BOOOOOM!
Him and everyone else instantly turned and looked at Tsukune in bewilderment. A huge purple light was coming from him, the rocks around him were starting to crack, his aura frightening and could intimidate even vampires. They looked at him as he now had two wings coming out from behind him; his fangs grew longer and sharper. His muscles grew larger, his hair grew longer. It was now down to his waist and had reddish orange highlights along with silver ones do to Kokoa and Moka's blood that flowed throughout his body. And his eyes, they now glowed the blood lust color that was the trademark for all vampires. This was Tsukune's true vampire form. He leaned his head over to the left and cranked his neck, then to the right before his glare became fixed on Issa. Then in a monstrous voice he stated to Issa.

"If fighting you seriously is what it takes to be with Kokoa…. Then so be it."

Issa chuckled as he grinned and replied.

"Hm so this is your true power. Come let me see how strong you truly are."

Then with a loud snap of his fingers Issa had also transformed into his vampire form. The mere intimidating aura rising from the two shoved anyone who was not at S class level back for a moment. The ground shook and cracked around them as they prepared for round two of this battle. Everyone was at a loss for words as their mouths hung open. Mizore's lollipop fell out of her mouth, and she was the only one to talk when she said.

"Oh shit!... Shit just got real."
