Chapter 3

The sound of Yosho's tea cup shattering on the floor startled the young witch into silence. As she finally registered the presence of the young man sitting opposite the headmaster, in her single-minded rush to get help for the two that she loved and her new friends as well. She had not heard Ruby's warnings that the headmaster was in a meeting, or noticed that the older witch was even there. Now that Yukari had noticed him, something about this man that struck her as familiar.

As she looked at him the man left the chair that he was sitting in, and calmly walked the short distance between them and knelt before her so he could look her in the eye. His eyes where filled with concern not only for the students that were taken but also for her. Placing a reassuring hand on her shoulder and looking straight in to her eyes. The man spoke in a calm comforting voice and asked "What has happened little one?"

Normally Yukari would have bristled at the "little one" comment but he had said it so kindly so much like Tsukune, that instead she threw her arms around him like an older brother and buried her face in to his shoulder and released all of her lamentations.

Between sobs she told both the headmaster and the kind stranger of Kuyou's attack. With her face buried in his shoulder she did not see the brief flash pride light up the man's eyes when she told of Neji's heroics taking Kuyou's attack head on or the cold fury that replaced it.

Tenmei sat in his chair stunned not only at the news of the demon fox's renewed attack but also at the skill with which Yosho had handled the hysterical girl. He not only calmed her enough that she could tell them what had happened but had comforted her so that by the time she had completed her tale she was no longer crying, though she did keep her face buried in Yosho's shoulder. Then the realization struck him and he said "I wasn't aware that the newspaper club had two new members Yukari-chan." raising her head from the dragon's shoulder she replied.

"Neji and Ayakia aren't members of the newspaper club. We met them when we were returning from our trip to the human world." then she went on to explain the circumstances of the meeting of the newspaper club and Yosho's students, and explaining that Tsukune, Moka and she were escorting them to his office to find their sensei that had business there.

The headmaster's glasses flashed as he said "Well Yukari-chan, you may have lost the students but have found the teacher." the young witch released her hold on Yosho and took a step back with a shocked gasp. Looking at the man now identified as the very same Yosho-sensei her new friends were looking for she noticed the rueful smile he now wore.

"Guilty as charged." he simply stated. 'So Neji and Ayakia followed me even here, and look what happened when they did, because they did not know. Well secrets be damned they will know the truth.' Yosho resolved silently now that Yukari had released him he stood to his full height. The young witch notice his eyes harden as he did so. 'He's going to go save them.' she thought joyously. Placing his hand on her shoulder again he asked gently

"Do you know where the student police would have taken them Yukari-chan?" steeling her resolve the young witch nodded. Turning to the exorcist, Yosho said "alert your infirmary to be ready. I can not promise there will be no one injured this time especially if any of them are foolish enough to stand against Me." the headmaster shivered at those words he remembered quite clearly what had happened to the dragon's last opponent.

"Very well but please try not to kill any one who does choose to stand against you, remember most of the students here won't recognize you as the adults do."

Yosho nodded his understanding, "I know Tenmei don't worry there will be no slaying today but those responsible for these crimes will be punished. And I promise the student police will not rise again after I have torn it down." the last part of his statement was aimed at Yukari who looked worried about their return for another attempt.

Yosho once again knelt before Yukari with his hands behind his back catching her confused look he said "Come on Yukari-chan climb up we'll be able to move faster if I carry you." nodding her understanding she nimbly climbed upon his back wrapping her arms around his neck and sitting on his interlocked hands. Once Yosho was certain that the young girl was secure he stood back up. "Alright Yukari-chan hold on tight because we will be moving extremely fast until we reach the edge of the woods." and with a surge of power they vanished.

Tenmei could faintly hear the cries of surprise as they reappeared somewhere on the first floor only to vanish again. He looked over to Ruby who was standing rooted to the spot too stunned to even speak at their sudden disappearance. Suddenly a look of extreme worry crossed her face as she was a close friend of both Yukari and the rest of the newspaper club.

Catching on that the exorcist was looking at her she gave voice to her worries. "Do you want me to follow them, will Yukari-chan be safe?" to the teenaged witch's surprise the headmaster shook his head.

"That won't be necessary Ruby-chan. And before you begin protesting here are my reasons. First there is no way you would be able to keep up; I wouldn't be surprised if they have already reached the forest. And second right now Yukari is probably the safest she has ever been or likely ever will be."

Ruby stared in disbelief "How can you have so much faith in a stranger who isn't even a yokai headmaster?" she cried. Tenmei acutally smiled when he heard this.

And surprised Ruby by asking her a simple question, "Ruby-san what do you know of the two demon lords Roxis and Etherion?"

She had to stop and think for a moment then she answered. "They where both demon lords who initiated wars of extermination against the humans three hundred twenty five and two hundred years ago respectively. Both were slain by an unknown warrior, the current prevailing theory is that the warrior was a half demon who chose the human side of the war as records show the warrior had matched each lord blow for blow before slaying them."

The exorcist clapped his hands at the flawless recital of what was considered old history. "Very good I see you have visited the library, but there is one thing that was inaccurate about what you just recited. And that is the warrior in question wasn't half anything he is from one of the oldest and most powerful blood lines around, I won't tell you what he is for that is not my place, but I will tell you this much that "unknown warrior" just left with Yukari-chan in tow."

Ruby's jaw hit the floor "Y-Yosho-sensei was the warrior that killed both Roxis and Etherion? How is that possible, how do you know this headmaster?" she asked shocked.

"Simple Ruby-chan I witnessed him slay Etherion and heard about Roxis directly from Yosho-sama and I'm inclined to believe him, now if you don't have any further questions I would suggest going to the infirmary as Yosho-sama instructed after you do that would you please gather the rest of the newspaper club and bring them here so I can explain the situation to them."

Ruby smiled her worries put to rest simply stated "Yes headmaster." and left his office closing the door behind her.

Yukari was so surprised when Yosho started moving that she nearly let go of him. She had felt the surge of power from him and she noticed that time appeared to slow down as they began moving. She had not realized what Yosho-sensei had meant when he said that they would be moving at extreme speed at the time he had said it. And she could not suppress a small cry of fear as Yosho had launched off the third floor balcony.

Landing in a kneeling position on the first floor and to the students in the area appearing to have materialized from thin air, only to vanish again as Yosho released another pulse of power. Leaving her witches hat to float down after its owner, after they were underway again Yukari relized that she hadn't felt any of the impact from landing on the first floor.

'This is how Gin-sempi must see the world when he's moving at full speed.'(AN: elsewhere on campus a certain perverted werewolf was given away by sudden sneeze) she thought as she felt a surge from beneath her as Yosho cleared the school's fence in one mighty leap. Landing on the other side without even breaking stride Yosho continued on their passing marked only a gust of wind displaced by their movement and the occasional appearance of the duo as they cleared obstructions or changed direction.

Before long the young witch found her self staring out in to the forest. "Alright Yukari-chan which way do we go?" Yosho asked kindly. It took a moment for Yukari to get her bearings but she soon located the correct path.

"That way Yosho-sensei." she said as pointed off to a small path that was to their left. Yosho once again took off but a slower pace this time, while they where still moving quite fast the witch noticed that time did not seem to slow down.

After about ten minuets of running down the path Yosho had noticed a flicker of movement to his left and reacted instantly. Planting his right foot solidly on the ground and reversing momentum he leapt back avoiding the gigantic boulder that had landed where they had just been.

Landing about ten feet back the way they had come from. When a large boy in the black and white uniform of the student police stepped out onto the path cracking his knuckles he smiled evilly at the man caring the young witch.

"Oi go back to where you came from if you know whats good for you." the boy called to them obviously trying to intimidate them, Yosho was unimpressed.

"I don't have time for this, first art of binding Ketsugō kusari." Yosho growled. Yukari's eyes widened in awe as chain of energy appeared in a circle several layers wide around the boy blocking their path. Realizing the danger the boy tried leap out of the ring formed by the chain but it was too late. The chain tightened around the boy until he was immobilized its weight pulling him to his knees.

The young prodigy knew she had just witnessed a powerful binding spell. But she couldn't figure out how the man that carried her so easily had done it. He had used no focusing tool or incantation. Two things that all she knew as a witch told her were required to work magic. But Yosho didn't give her the chance to ask. After their assailant was securely bound they were off again.

Moka was the first of the four teens to regain consciousness, thanks in no small part to her true self sealed within her. That half of her was raging that Kuyou had dared to lay hands on herself and Tsukune. Looking around she finally located him her eyes widened in shock. The boy had been bound to a bar with a short chain at his wrists and suspended from the roof of the chamber that they were in; he was positioned directly in front of her. His feet were on the ground but just barely. Moka was sure this was done to cause as much pain as possible.

He had been severely beaten his blazer and shirt had been torn off of him to display the damage, she was sure the only reason he had survived the beating was because of the blood that she had injected into him even sealed as he was it still made him far more resilient than a normal human it also meant that he healed faster, The sight only fueled her inner-self's rage even more. "Tsukune!" she called out.

At the sound of her voice the boy opened his eyes. She noticed that they were glazed over in pain. "M-Moka-san." came the weak reply before his eyes closed as he lost consciousness again.

A groan pulled her attention from her beloved. And her eyes fell on Neji chained to another bar and suspended in the same fashion' to Tsukune's right. The remains of his ruined shirt had been removed reveaing his well honed muscle structure. She was shocked to see the ragged burn across his chest and upper torso from where he had taken the attack that she was sure had been meant for her. He had also been beaten mercilessly on top of absorbing the attack.

Moka's true self had been watching as well. She had watched with great interest as the boy that had quickly become friends with her other half intercepted the attack. She had noticed a brief flare of power from the boy. The flare of power had been instinctive. It was probably what had saved him. 'hmm perhaps there is more to these two than their letting on' thought the sealed half of Moka's nature.

Then she noticed her other half struggling against their bonds "Hey idiot stop that we are bound with silver chains, we aren't going anywhere for the time being."

"I know but I feel so helpless." her other half answered.

"That's the point idiot Kuyou is going to make us watch as he kills Tsukune and Neji first."

"Neji are you alright, Neji answer me!" announced Ayakia's return to consciousness. Moka turned her head to look to her right the other girls' condition looked much well than the boys. Though their was a nasty looking bruise on the side of her face and blood still trickled down her chin from her busted lip.

Both girls had been spared the severe beatings that the boys had endured. But they were bound to chairs directly in front of their counterparts giving them front row seats to the impending execution.

"Neji answer me damn it!" Ayakia called to the still unconscious boy, fearing that it was already too late for him.

"Hey quiet her down she's making too much noise. He's not dead yet he just suffering from energy depletion." Moka's inner self said roughly, within the pink haired girls head.

Moka's blue-green eyes widened slightly as she realized what her other half had said. "Energy depletion, wait you mean that when he stopped the attack he expelled all of his energy."

"Don't tell me you didn't notice! How else could a seemingly normal human take an attack from a yokai of Kuyou's level and survive, you naive little girl!" Moka's inner-self berated her.

Thinking quickly Moka glanced over at the girl in the chair beside her and was about to say something when the boy in question opened his eyes and groaned he tried to move only to discover that he was chained to a bar above his head.

He was obviously in a great deal of pain, but he bore it well. Looking around with pain filled eyes he located the girls. "A-are you girls alright?" he asked his voice barely above a whisper clearly all he could manage given the amount of damage his body had sustained.

"We'r fine, how are you feeling?" Ayakia answered concern evident in her voice a hint of anger colored her tone as well.

"I've been better." Neji said with halfhearted sarcasim "Should have known you would get the better deal out of this mess you always do." he continued only to groan as an involuntary chuckle caused his wounded torso to protest the action.

Tsukune fully regained consciousness during the exchange between Ayakia and Neji. He found himself staring down at Moka. Her face told him every thing he needed to know. It had not been a nightmare he was back in the hands of the student police, and this time the rest of the newspaper club were probably not going to make it in time.

Suddenly the rest of the chamber was flooded with harsh blinding light. Revealing the remnants of the student police, they were mainly the high ranking third and fourth year students. But there were also a few new recruits from the lower grades.

Among them was their leader. Kuyou stood at the front of the assembled members. Golden eyes shining with malicious glee, His victory was assured he had snatched the two credited with his personal defeat right out from under the noses of their friends at the newspaper club, and as an added bonus he had captured two humans in their company. Oh yes vengeance was going to be sweet indeed.

"Well what have we here, awake already? I must say I'm impressed." Kuyou said in a mocking tone as he confidently swaggered to stand between the two bound boys. Then he roughly grabbed Neji by the chin and dragging him around to show the assembled member of the disbanded organization the burn on the boy's torso. "I mean it, this one shouldn't have even survived but he did, and now that he's awake we get to play with him some more."

With that he let Neji go and the bar returned to its original position and jolting the boy mercilessly. Causing the boy extreme pain but to to Kuyou's disappointment the human did not cry out but endured the pain in silence. 'I won't give him the satisfaction.' Neji thought as he suffered in silence.

"And look at this the mighty hero, the one who defeated me last year, how far have you fallen." the kitsune gloated as he struck Tsukune in the stomach causing the boy to cough up some blood.

Ayakia could stand no more, her sapphire eyes blazing with anger. She raised her voice to defy her captors. "Keep you damn hands off of them you bastard. Your not worthy of even being in their presence!" she declared glaring at the one responsible for the suffering of the boy she considered family, and that of her new friend. She felt her rage building to a level it had never reached before.

Then she felt something else build within her. It felt as if a fire had just ignited in the core of her being her rage fueled this fire into a raging inferno. The energy just kept building and building within her.

Kuyou turned his attention to the the girl who had dared challenge him. His eyes narrowed dangerously "Who the hell do you think you are talking to me like that you human bitch. I am the power of this school and I will do as I please." he said raising his hand to strike her.

The strike never fell. Because at that same moment the heavy metal door at the end of the chamber was blown out of the door frame its hinges having given way from the force of the attack. The door smashed in to the far wall of the chamber before falling to the ground in a twisted heap.

The room was suddenly flooded with an energy signature that none of the yokai present had felt before. Every one able to was staring at the now gaping hole in the wall, Expecting the rest of the newspaper club to storm trough the ruined door, But to almost everyone's surprise only two people calmly stepped trough the door.

The assembled members of student police did not recognize the man appearing to be in his mid twenties but they immediately recognized the girl he still carried on his back.

Ayakia knew that she wouldn't be able to see the new comers but she didn't need to, somehow she knew he had come. Her rage faded taking with it most of the energy that had been building within her but the small fire remained.

"Tsukune hang on help is here!" Yukari called to the boy that was one of the two that she loved.

Tsukune's eyes widened with surprise. "Yukari-chan, she's here?" he asked. He hadn't noticed her as she was being carried by Yosho.

A smile spread across Neji's face as he answered "yes and she brought Yosho-sensei with her. Just watch Tsukune things are about to get intense."

Moka had felt the energy as it flooded the room, its magnitude frightened her. But what frightened her more was she was sure that whoever was releasing it was capable of releasing so much more.

"That's right even you recognize when someone is holding back. Someone who wields true power has arrived. Perhaps we will get to join the fight." Moka's inner-self mused.

Yosho stood at the end of the chamber and surveyed the group ahead of him. 'Never thought I would fight children, but then again I wasn't much older than they are now when I took on the mantle of guardian my self.' he thought to himself. Turning his head to the right he whispered "Yukari-chan I'm going to have to put you down now." he said feeling her release her hold on his neck in response.

Yosho unlocked his his hands and allowed Yukari to slide down his back. Once she was on the ground Yosho reached in to the collar of his shirt and pulled an amulet out. Sliding the chain over his head he turned and handed the amulet to Yukari. "Here Yukari-chan this will protect you."

Yukari gasped as she looked at the amulet that Yosho had just handed her. It was made of gold and cast in the image of a western dragon. It was standing on its hind legs holding a round crystal in its clawed front feet. The dragon's wings where spread wide with the tips curling forward towards the crystal as if they were shielding it, She could also sense that it had a powerful enchantment laid on it. Slipping the chain over her head she replied "Thanks Yosho-sensei." she replied but he had already turned to face the student police.

Kuyou glared at the interloper he wasn't concerned with the witch he could take care of her at his leisure. But what he could tell from the energy signature that this guy was putting off he was at least as strong as the vampire when her seal was released. Making him the bigger threat, "And who the hell are you supposed to be bastard. Why are you here this does not concern you." he challenged the man now standing protectively in front of the young witch.

"My name is Yosho and I have come to free those that you have taken and to punish you for your crimes. If you surrender now I will be merciful and allow the headmaster to decide your punishment." was the reply. Yosho's deep timber resonating through the chamber, He could already see the weight of his ambient power overwhelming the younger members of the group.

Kuyou started laughing it was cold cheerless laughter. "Crimes, what crimes have I committed?" the kitsune shot back.

Yosho was now walking towards the four bound teens with their captor standing in their midst. "You have taken an organization of protection and service and perverted it into one of fear and oppression. You have executed the abduction and attempted murder of Tsukune Aono simply because you suspected him of being human. And when he defeated you in combat proving you wrong and leading to the student police being disbanded you ambush him and his friends, and torture them to satisfy your own thirst for vengeance. It is for these crimes you are being punished."

With each crime listed Yosho's voice got colder and more deadly. "Surrender now or face an opponent who is neither bound nor sealed." The dragon stated as every step brought him closer to his prey.

The kitsune smiled darkly "I think it is you who should surrender. Last time I counted there were more of us." he said his captives forgotten for the moment.

"So you choose to fight, very well but remember you and those who choose to follow you into battle were warned." with those words Yosho vanished only to reappear four feet from Kuyou in mid air his body twisting bringing his right foot around for a powerful kick to the kitsune's chest.

Kuyou had no time to react his eyes widened in shock as he was sent flying trough the air to be imbedded in the wall of the chamber thirty feet away. Yosho skidded to a stop in a crouched fighting stance.

Neji and Tsukune who had seen the whole conversation as well as Yosho's first attack just stared. Tsukune in slack jawed awe and Neji in slight confusion 'why does that move seem familiar to me, have I seen it before?' Neji thought at his sense of déjà vu. Shaking his head Neji turned to tsukunes and said "See what I mean." the other boy just nodded.

As Yosho slid in to the girls field of vision Ayakia could not suppress her cry of joy or her instant blush. 'Kami, Yosho-sensei is so damn hot right now.' suddenly she flashed back to her dream from earlier that day. Just the thought of Yosho shirtless and catching her as she fell, It was enough to send a trickle of blood running from her nose. Moka's first thought was "Wow Ka-chan I bet he can kick as hard as you do!" (AN: Ka-chan is what I will have outer Moka call inner Moka when they speak.)

"I doubt it, but I must admit he is impressive." was her inner self's dismissive response.

Taking advantage of the shock created by his attack he turned his back on Kuyou and holding his right hand in front of his chest first two fingers extended. He simply stated "Art of destruction Seishin tsubasa." his power output suddenly spiked and pieces of chain and rope flew into the air shredded by glowing translucent blades that appeared out of nowhere.

"Tsukune!" moka cried as she rushed forward and caught the boy before his legs could buckle under his weight.

"Moka-san." was Tsukune's response as he gazed into her eyes.

"Tsukune"

"Moka-san"

"Tsukune"

"Oi this is neither the time nor place for that, now move." Yosho told the two teens snapping their attention back to situation at hand. He was supporting Neji and was helping the boy back toward where Yukari was standing. Moka and Tsukune quickly followed.

They were about half way to Yukari when Kuyou was finally able to free him self from the wall "Fools don't just stand there attack!" he shouted at his subordinates. Snapped out of their state of shock three quarters of the student police promptly raised their hands and chorused "I surrender."

The remaining quarter launched them selves in to battle charging the small group. Suddenly several gongs sounded out indicating one of Ykari's favorite spells had hit its mark. To the young witches surprise several of her targets had been knocked cold. She had dropped the wash tubs on them as a means to slow down and distract the onrushing group of yokai. 'what the, how did my spell become so powerful?' she thought to her self she did not notice the crystal in the amulet shining a pale blue-white.

Yosho however noticed the shining jewel. 'So the dragon stone has resonated with her, it is truly hers now.' he thought suddenly he felt an energy spike behind him. Reacting instantly he slipped out from under Neji's arm "Ayakia!"

"Right sensei" came her reply as she gracefully caught the injured boy. And supporting his weight began to move towards Yukari once more.

Yosho turned just in time to meet the fireball head on. With an explosion the area around Yosho was obscured by a cloud of smoke. 'ha got him' Kuyou thought triumphantly tired of games the kitsune had launced a full power attack. A cheer rose from the remaining loyal members of the student police.

Moka and Tsukune were standing next to Yukari staring at the cloud of smoke. Turning to Moka Tsukune placed his hand on the rosary that was hanging from her neck. "Moka you need to help him, he's powerful but he is still only one person he can't fight them all." with those words he pulled the rosary from its chain thus breaking her seal.

The explosion of yokai energy was immense. It rose from her in a towering column of light pink. Beyond the massive release of energy her physical transformation was striking. Moka's hair had gone from a light pink to shining silver; her figure had become more voluptuous. But the most striking change was her eyes had gone from blue-green to scarlet with the demonic silted pupils.

The release of energy had dispersed the smoke revealing Yosho. He was in an aggressive posture the smoldering remains of his shirt hanging from him in tattered strips. He calmly reached up and tore the smoldering cloth from his body. Ayakia's heart skipped a beat when she saw this.

The cheer from the student police members died in their throats. And they looked on him with fear in their expressions, the looks of fear where for the simple reason aside from the destroyed shirt the man was undamaged.

Feeling the release of Mokas seal Yosho thought to himself 'so the vampire has been unleashed. From the feel of her energy she is defiantly her father's daughter.' turning to her Yosho called "a pleasure to meet you my lady, if you don't mind I'll leave the others for you to play with, but Kuyou is mine."

Moka looked over the man that stood before her. His body was well muscled, but not overly bulky it was obviously the well honed body of a warrior of the highest caliber. And his aura of power was massive even now she felt its weight bearing down on her. Even restrained as it was, she was sure that they had seen only a fraction of what he was capable of.

She smiled showing off her fangs. "Of course who am I to deny my rescuer his vengeance against those who have harmed his students?" Yosho had noticed her voice had taken on a more mature almost seductive quality. Truly this was not the kind innocent girl of a moment ago.

'No this is not the vengeance of a teacher, this is the vengeance of an elder brother who has failed to protect his family' Yosho thought his eyes once again hardening "As you wish my lady." he replied turning his attention back to Kuyou. Moka had noticed the warriors eyes harden as he replied to her. A sudden realization struck her if meant protecting Neji and Ayakia he would kill them all and do it without the slightest hesitation or regret. That realization sent a shiver down her spine. Whether it was a shiver of excitement or fear she couldn't tell.

Kuyou stood rooted to the spot staring in disbelief at the man who had taken his attack head on just as the boy had but suffered no damage beyond losing his shirt. 'what the hell is this guy?' Kuyou thought. He was sure he now had the man's full undivided attention and for the first time his confidence began to falter.

'Perhaps it's time the boy had a taste of his own medicine.' Yosho thought as he ignored the sounds of the vampire exacting her own vengeance behind him, lifting his right hand fingers spread wide palm facing Kuyou he accesed his power. A fire ball sprang to life in his hand. Yosho launched his counter attack the fireball raced toward the kitsune with incredible speed.

Kuyou watched the fireball as it streaked toward him. "You think you can beat me with fire? Well you can't." he said as a rotating sphere of fire surrounded him. Yosho's attack struck a split second later and for a moment the fireball hung there contesting with the power of the wall of flame that it had contacted. Then slowly the fire ball began to break trough over powering the shield that the kitsune had created. 'This is not possible; we are the strongest of all fire wielders. How am I being over powered?' thought Kuyou as the fire ball struck him and exploded.

Yosho waited for the smoke to clear. He knew the fireball wasn't going to do much damage but he hadn't done it to damage the kitsune he had done to force the boy into his most powerful form. When the smoke cleared Yosho wasn't disappointed. Kuyou stood in the same spot. His hand was scorched from where he had caught the incoming fireball. The fur on his arm was singed. The fox ears that were now protruding from his blond hair were twitching in annoyance. Five flaming tails lashed the air. He was standing on two feet but in stead of normal humanoid feet he was standing on fox's paws. 'Hmm a five tail, that explains a few things' Yosho thought.

"You fucking bastard, how dare you force me to reveal my second form." Kuyou raged at him. "YOU WILL PAY!" the enraged kitsune launched himself at Yosho. Only to be met as the older man closed as well. The two beings of power clashed the building trembling with the force of their blows.

Ayakia stared at the beautiful silver haired girl standing before her. "Moka-san i-is that you?" she asked not believing her eyes. She had just finished mercilessly kicking the attacking members of the student police into unconsciousness.

The silver haired vampire turned to the other girl and smiled showing off her fangs. "Yes Ayakia, this is my true form. The other Moka is a personality created by my seal." Ayakia noticed that her voice now had seductive undertone to it.

"What are you?" Ayakia asked still awed by the complete change in the girl that she thought she had befriended.

"I thought my fangs would have given it way, Ayakia I am a vampire." Moka replied transfixing her with her scarlet eyes.

Ayakia was too stunned by the revilation. "But that means if vampires are real…"

"So are other monsters." Neji finished the sentence for her, "Now I understand what the bus driver was talking about." then turning to Tsukune he asked "So what are you?"

"Me I'm human." the boy answered. 'well was human anyway.' he thought to himself as he unconsciously fingered the bracelet at his wrist.

Any further questions were lost as the building shook from battle that raged between Yosho and Kuyou, Drawing the teen's attention like a magnate.

Yosho had just been knocked back by a powerful kick from the demon fox. He slid backward several feet with his arms crossed in front of him. 'impressive he fights well and his form is excellent, but it's time I ended this.' he thought as he watched Kuyou rush towards him clawed hands ready to strike.

Yosho extended his right arm straight to the side. A glowing disk if energy appeared at his finger tips. Moka was watching intently now. 'he's going to end it now, I wonder how he will do it' the vampire thought.

Kuyou closed the last few feet with his opponent intending to rip the man's heart out of his chest. He was so intent on his attack that he did not stop to ask himself why the man was just waiting for him to attack.

Yosho did not have to wait long Kuyou was upon him seconds after the disc formed. Easily deflecting the thrust of Kuyou's attack Yosho pressed his finger tips to the kitsune's now exposed chest. "Seal of judgment Hidoiga shirushi" Yosho quietly stated.

Kuyou screamed the sound was primal; terrifying it was a scream of pure agony. His body convulsed as his muscles twisted upon themselves. But the pain did not cease it only intensified. The pain raced trough him in wave after wave of agony. Seconds felt like years all he wanted was for the pain to end, he would welcome death if it would provide a respite from this pain. Then thankfully the pain ceased Kuyou fell to his knees trembling he felt weak. He looked at his hands they were the hands of his human form. His eyes widened in disbelief he had not returned to his human form. He tried to call forth his power it did not come. "What did you do to me you fucking bastard?" Kuyou said his voice a horse whisper.

"I have burned a seal into your flesh; this seal has striped you of your powers as well as your true form. For all intents and purposes you are now human, you powers and true form will be sealed for at least two centuries. After that time your powers may return but they have been permanently damaged you will never again weld power grater than that of a one tailed kitsune. You will be forever marked as an outcast." Yosho replied in a voice that was cold as ice.

Kuyou listened to what had been done to him with growing horror. The thought of having to live as human for two centuries filled him with disgust. But on top of that the news that his power had been permanently reduced to that of a lowly one tail had sent him spiraling into despair. "Kill me, please just kill me." He cried falling on his face and groveling before the man that had just sealed him.

"No, this is the punishment that I have chosen for you. Now you will live to face It." was the reply as Yosho hauled the broken kitsune to his feet.

Tsukune had been watching the fight standing close to Moka. His beating had been severe but because of what Moka had done to save his life. He noticed that he could withstand more punishment than ever before, even sealed as he was his physical strength had increased as well as his ability heal.

He glanced over to Neji who had been forced to lie back by Ayakia. She knelt by his side watching him worriedly. To be honest the injuries that he had suffered at the hands of Kuyou were nothing compared to what Neji had endured. He marveled at the other boy's strength of will, even though Neji suffered terribly at Kuyou's hands he never cried out in pain. He had endured his torture in silence never giving his captors the satisfaction of seeing weakness from him.

'How did he get so strong?' Tsukune wondered to him self 'did he always have that strength or did he gain it by training with Yosho-sensei?"

His thoughts where shattered by Kuyou's scream of pain. Turning his attention back to the combatants his eyes widened. They were just standing there Yosho had his fingertips placed on Kuyou's chest and a glowing disc of energy had appeared, and Kuyou was screaming as if he were the one being tortured.

Turning to Moka he asked "What is he doing to Kuyou?" having missed the conclusion of the fight.

The silver haired vampire turned to the boy that even she had fallen for; she had a smile on her face and was clearly enjoying the pain of her former captor. "I don't know Tsukune, but it is no less than what he deserves for what he did to you. And I'm not talking about just this time either."

As Kuyou continued to scream Tsukune noticed that some part of him did take satisfaction from the fact that his tormentor was now going trough the most intense pain that he had ever felt, if his screams were any thing to judge by. Glancing back at the two figures, he was surprised to see that Kuyou had reverted back to his human form.

Finaly Kuyou's screams ceased and he fell to his knees before the man that had just bested him. Moka was watcing with a satisfied smirk on her face. Then she heard the malice the barely contained rage as Yosho explained what he had done to to the kitsune. She respected the man more by the second. And then when he refused to end Kuyou's misiery she thought to her self 'cruel mercy, I love this guy's style.'

She jumped slightly when Yosho's vice rang out "Hey you over there leave this bulding now! And take this trash with you." he commanded indicating Kuyou and the members who had chosen to attack. The he added almost as an afterthought he added "but do not go more than thirty meters from the exit." The remaining members of the student police jumped at his command but hurried to follow them with out a word.

The vampire was thoroughly enjoying the show of power from the man before her. She had to admit that he put on a great performance. He was merciless in battle and he knew how to issue orders. She wouldn't be surprised if it turned out he was a lord like her father. "This guy knows how to make things interesting, I think I will enjoy the show, but the fight is over and its time for me to go back" she said to Tsukune as she took her roseary from his hand. Just before she snapped it back in place she winked at him and said "Maybe he can help you accept your own monster Tsukune." she smiled as she fell against him her body and hair returning to their "normal" appearance.

He held her stunned at how her true self had guessed his thoughts. "Tsukune." called, Moka's kind voice he looked down at her and she was smiling up at him "she's right you know" then he felt her fangs sink in his neck. (Capuchu)

"Now is that really the smart thing to do right now miss? I'm pretty sure hes going to need that to heal." Moka jumped immediately pulling away Tsukune, she worled around to come face to face with Yosho. He had a knowing smile on his face.

She rapidly turned a deep shade of crimson, "I-I'm sorry, but his blood is just so good I can't resist." Yosho couldn't contain his lughter any more it reverberated through the now empty chamber.

"All I meant was you need to be more mindful of his condition when you do that, if he is hurt he will need that blood of his to regain his strength." Yosho said still smiling. Then placeing his hand on the boy's shoulder he asked "Are you alright Aono-san?" concern for the boy's wellbeing clear in his tone.

"I'll manage, Neji's injurys are far worse than mine." Tsukune replied. The hand on his shoulder glowed briefly. Tsukune gasped as a wave of energy surged trough him washing away his pain and fatigue.

"I see well in that case I will tend to Neji, your welcome to watch if you wish." Yosho said removing his hand from the boy's shoulder. Turning away from the two teenagers he was talking to he begaun to walk the short distance to where Yukari and Ayakia were worriedly kneling by a now prone Neji.

Noticing his approach Ayakia stood and rushed to him. Reaching him she buried her face in his chest and beguan to sob. Yosho wraped her in a strong reassuring embrace as he let her release her pentup tears into his chest as she resolved her emotions. For the past four years he had been her shoulder to cry on he was not about to abandon her now. After a short time her sobs lessened and Yosho released her from the embrace.

"Sensei hes hurt really badly, I don't know if there is any thing we can do for him." She said tears still streaming down her face. He noticed her busted lip and the large bruse on her cheek. Cupping her cheek with his hand a dim glow eminated from his palm for a breif second as the bruse and busted lip were erased from her features.

"Don't worry Ayakia it's not my specialty but I do have some skill in the healing arts." he said in a calm reassuring voice. Then he started walking towards Neji's pron form. When he arrived Yukari looked at him with saddness in her eyes.

"I'm sorry Yosho-sensei but I don't know any healing spells." she said large tears welling in her eyes.

"It's alright Yukari-chan I've picked up a few techniques during my travels. I learned this one from and old friend it'll have him up and about soon just watch." the girl's eyes brightened at the prospect of watching him work more of his magic.

Kneeling down next to Neji he examined his student's injuries. Noteing the large burn accros the boy's chest and upper torso, 'even with my healing that wound is going to leave a scar.' Yosho thought darkly. Closeing his eyes and taking a deep breath to center himself, Yosho held both hands about a foot above Neji's torso fingers spread wide. There was no incantaion no name for the spell just a pale green colored light that emanated from his palms.

Yukari and the others watched in awed silence as the dammage was repaired before their eyes bones snapped into place internal injuries repaired and the large burn was was reduced to little more than a ghost of a scar.

Neji was lying on the cold floor in a state of semi-consciousness. The haze of pain dulling his senses, he had heard the others talking about his condition. But he was only half listening, suddenly he felt a warm energy sink in to him. But it did not bring more pain as he had half expected. No this energy brought with it peace, it washed away his pain as easily as water cleansed him of dirt. He felt his broken bones mend and snap back into place. His internal injuries srank from the energy like shadows fleeing the light.

Finaly the energy moved from his internal injuries to the burn across his chest he noticed a slight tingle as the layers of skin that had been burned away were repaired. Then as suddenly as the energy flow had started it ceased.

Neji opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was Yosho kneeling over him his eyes closed in concetration his palms still faintly glowing green. Sitting up Neji asked "Sensei you healed me, how did you even find us?"

Yosho opened his own eyes and looked athe teen he considered family, "Patience Neji I will explain everything in time." Yosho stood up and offered his hand to the boy. "So what do you say shall we leave this place?" he asked the group as a whole.

Grasping the hand that was offered to him Neji used Yosho as an ancor to pull himself to his feet. Looking his teacher in the eye he replied, "I think I speak for all of us when I say let's get the hell out of here!" the others nodded.

"Well let's go then." Yosho said a ghoste of a smile on his lips. Turning on his heel he started to leave followed closely by the others.

Ayakia brought up the rear as she followed the others. She was glad that the others could not see her at the moment. This was because she was fighting to supress the blood rushing to her cheeks and nose. Without thinking she had run to Yosho so he could comfort her as he allways did. While he had reacted as he usually did in those times allowing her to resolve her emotions while his presence sheltered and comforted her as he always did. But this time he had been without a shirt, and given how her feeling had started to change towards him it was enough to drive her wild.

She was relishing the remembered feel of Yosho's bare skin aginst hers, and had to fight harder to suppress the nose bleed that was threatening to erupt from her. She was torn from her fanatsies when she nearly ran into Yukari. They were standing at the foot of the stairs that led to the exit.

Yosho turned to the group the first thing that he noticed was Ayakia's blush. 'Bet I can guess what she was thinking about' Yosho thought to himself then shaking his head slightly. His face taking a serious look again, "Do you guys trust me?" he asked. The teens all nodded, Yosho smiled "Good because I thought that I would finish this with some fireworks." he said cryptically then turned and ascended the stairs.

Yosho led the small group of teens into the sun, as ordered the remants of the student police were standing outside not far from the exit. The dragon smiled sinisterly, "Those of you who did not attack have four days to report to the headmaster to recive your punishment for your part in what happened here today. For those who did dicide to fight, I'm feeling merciful and will allow them to escape with only the beating the recived from the vampire. There is one last thing that I want you all to witness, let it serve as my final warning."

With that Yosho turned and held his hand towards the open door of the under ground complex. A dark blue energy ball sprang to life; with a lazy flick of his wrist he sent the ball into the complex.

After a few seconds of nothing Neji whispered to Yosho, "Sensei what did you do?" he had whispered loud enough for the rest of the group to her him as well.

Yosho smiled and replied to the group "Remember the fireworks I was talking about, well their about to start what ever happens stick close to me understand." all of the teens caught the mischievous gleam in his eye and nodded their understanding. Turning to face the student police once again many of whom wore puzzled looks.

Yosho had his hands behind his back with three fingers extended. Then he retracted one finger so only two remained. Neji and the othes caught on and closed ranks behind him. Then there was one finger.

Suddenly the ground was rocked by a masive explosion. And a large jet of flame issued from the entrance to the complex. It washed over Yosho's group engulfing them. Neji and the others watched with awed expressions as the fire swirled and danced about them but they felt no heat. Soon the flames disapated revealing the group protected by a dome of shimmering light, the student police stood rooted to the spot jaws agape. The light vanished Yosho stepped forward as the weakened underground structure collapsed upon itself. "NOW GET OUT OF MY SIGHT!" he roared it only took seconds for the larger group to disperse and dissappear.

Turning to his students Yosho said "Well I guess it time we headed to the headmasters office, if I know Tenmei he will have two verry worried girls in his office by now." Tsukune visably paled as he remembered Kurumu and Mizore. Yousho laughed and said "Let's go."

(Headmaster's office)

Tenmei sat be hind his desk with his finger tips pressed thoughtfully together as he wated for the two girls' inevitable reaction to the situation that he had just explained to them.

"TSUKUNE HAS BEEN WHAT!" both girls yelled in unison.

"As I said before Tsukune-san and Moka-san has been taken by Kuyou again." the exorcist replied calmly.

The blue haired succubus slamed her fist on his desk causing some of the candles to jump in to the air, "We need to go save Tsukune!" then after thinking about it a minuet "Oh and Moka too." she added.

Tenmei smiled as he replied "That is not nessacery Yosho-sama is quite capable I assure you. In fact I'm expecting them to return any time now."

Both girls looked confused "But how…" Kurumu started to say when she was interrupted by the sound of the door opening. And Tsukune walked in to the office followed by Yosho and the others.

"TSUKUNE!" both girls cried together as the rushed to him and wrapped him in their arms, the thought of fighting over him never crossing their minds.
