Thanks for the support as always everyone. This chapter took me a little while longer than I had planned but what can you do? Thanks to Celsius for pointing out that error on my last chapter. I'll make sure to take care of that. Oh and Some Random Tosser made me laugh at the idea of Yukari becoming a potted plant. Thanks for the feedback, it's always helpful.
Tsukune had now found himself in quite the strange and rather uncomfortable predicament. Thanks to Kyoko he would now be living with both Kurumu and Mizore. He knew that his cousin was only trying to help, at least he hoped so. Then again, Kyoko could be quite the prankster so perhaps this was just her idea of a weird joke. Either way it was bad. Kyoko did not know that the two girls competing for Tsukune's affection were both monsters and held no reservations about fighting out their disagreements. With the two of them living under the same roof and him thrown in to the mix, Tsukune knew it was only a matter of time before they did something that would reveal themselves as monsters which just cause all sorts of problems. The only thing Tsukune could think of was to hope that either his father or mother would come back before the succubus or ice woman took to each other's throats; that way he would have a valid reason to make them move out of the Aono residence.
Tsukune was especially worried about Kyoko finding out about the girls' secrets since she was watching them like a hawk at the moment and would most likely be keeping tabs on them for the time being. But then again, maybe it would be alright if Kyoko found out the truth. Maybe she would be able to handle it. If he could reveal the truth to Kyoko then that would be one less person he would have to lie to.
Tsukune was sitting on the couch in the living room with Kurumu and Mizore on either side of him while Kyoko was sitting in a chair nearby while they watched TV. Tsukune felt quite embarrassed since both Kurumu and Mizore were clinging closely to him while also staring each other down. Kyoko watched them with a big smile and asked, "Aren't you a lucky guy, Tsuki? You've got two girls who really like you. So hey, how did you get to know these two? They seem way prettier than any girl you'd ever be around."
"That's pretty mean, Kyoko. To answer your question we're all in the same club together at school." Kurumu explained.
"Yeah, we actually have a lot in common with Tsukune." Mizore added.
"Oh okay, so you met him in the club?" Kyoko asked, trying to find out more about the girls.
"Nope, I met Tsukune on the very first day of school. He was my first friend." Kurumu explained.
"Yeah, he was my first friend too." Mizore said in agreement.
"I see, well that's nice." Kyoko said then yawned a little as she stood up and stretched her arms over her head a little. "I'm starting to get a little tired so I'm going to head home. I'll see you around Tsuki; you three remember to behave yourselves." Kyoko said with a playful wink as she walked towards the front door and headed outside.
"Good night Kyoko." Tsukune said before he stood up as well, although he had much more trouble doing so than Kyoko had. But then again Kyoko did not have two girls clinging to her arms. Tsukune looked towards Kurumu and Mizore to say, "I'm going to take a bath real quick before bed."
"Okay, I'll take the next one." Kurumu said with a small smile.
"Yeah, I'll go last since I like it cold." Mizore replied. The two girls then waited until Tsukune had gone upstairs to get a change of clothes only to stare each other down. Mizore asked, "So, what's the big idea of just forcing your way in to Tsukune's house like that? Don't you know you're causing him nothing but problems?"
"Oh like you're one to talk. You're doing the exact same thing, Mizore. Besides, I can promise you that Tsukune loves having me here. This was going to be practice for when we're married, that is until you crashed it." Kurumu said.
"I think that's my line. Tsukune's going to want to live with me forever." Mizore replied sternly.
"We'll just see about that, ice skank. We'll let Tsukune's cousin decide which of us is best for Tsukune." Kurumu said confidently. She had good reason to be confident after Tsukune confessed to her in the cave back at Yokai. Kurumu knew that she had made her way in Tsukune's heart, but there was always the chance that one of the other girls could do the same. Kurumu felt that she was winning, so she just had to maintain her lead. Of course none of the other girls knew anything about what had happened between her and Tsukune back then and Kurumu intended for it to stay that way for the time being. Kurumu felt that knowledge would only reinvigorate the other girls' efforts to take Tsukune for their own; at least that was the reason Kurumu told herself on the surface.
The truth was that Kurumu was afraid, afraid that if the other girls found out they would be hurt, heartbroken. It was not just Tsukune that Kurumu loved; her friends were just as precious to her as Tsukune. Kurumu now found herself in a strange conundrum. If she did manage to win Tsukune all for herself then she would also be hurting Moka, Yukari, and Mizore. However if she did not then she wouldd no doubt lose her destined one. Either way Kurumu looked at it she would lose, and that truly saddened the young succubus. It was for that reason that deep down Kurumu was fine with the way things were for the time being.
Meanwhile Tsukune was in the bathroom already stripped down and washing his hair. Some of the suds from the shampoo must have built up in his ear for he didn't hear the door open behind him. Tsukune's eyes shot wide open when he felt someone press in to his back and wrap their arms around his shoulder. "Hey Tsukune." Kurumu whispered sensually in to his ear, she had crept in to the bathroom wearing only a towel.
"K-kurumu! What are you doing here?" Tsukune asked nervously as he felt her leaning against him even more, he could feel her soft warm breath tickle the hairs on the back of his neck.
"What do you mean? I came to wash your back for you. Of course, once I'm finished you can wash me if you want." Kurumu said with a big smile on her face.
"But umm, I can wash my own back Kurumu. It's not that having your hands all over my back wouldn't be nice…it's just that…uhh…" Tsukune stuttered.
"Who said anything about my hands? I'm going to use a different part of me to wash you." Kurumu whispered then giggled a little. It was at that point Tsukune was starting to feel a tad light headed. Perhaps it was from the heat in the bathroom from the water, but it was far more likely the large amount of blood that had begun to drip from his nose.
Mizore had been hiding in the bath water wearing a school swimsuit but had now surfaced up to her shoulders and was leaning against the side of the bathtub, looking directly at Kurumu with accusing eyes. "Oh really, and just what were you going to wash my Tsukune with?" Mizore asked, the water in the bath slowly starting to fill with ice.
The two girls stared down one another with death glares as they began to bicker, but their fight was brought to an abrupt halt when the trio heard the sound of Kyoko's voice in the house. Kyoko walked in to the bathroom and came across all three of them together. A serious look came across her face as she spoke, "Well well well. What do we have here? I bluffed when I said I was leaving. I just wanted to make sure you all would follow the rules I set down in my absence. Now I see that I can't even turn my back on any of you for a second! C'mon you three! Put on some clothes and get out of the bathroom, now!"
"We're sorry." Tsukune, Kurumu, and Mizore all said together once they were back in the living room in front of Kyoko who was looking down at them in disappointment. Tuskune did not know why he was apologizing though; it was not as if he had done anything wrong.
"Now then, on account of this turn of events I'll now be staying the night to make sure you three behave yourselves." Kyoko explained. Kyoko proceeded to watch everyone like a hawk as they all went and had their baths one after another. The rest of the night went by without incident, except for both Kurumu and Mizore trying to seduce Tsukune with their sleepwear of course.
"Hey Tsukune, do you think my nighty's color looks good on me?" Kurumu asked, trying to make it sound like an innocent question.
Tsukune looked over at Kurumu on the couch who was wearing a small light blue nighty that showed off her long smooth legs. Tsukune couldn't help but blush. Mizore quickly pulled Tsukune away and said, "Oh please, Tsukune likes more down to earth stuff, right?" Mizore, who was wearing a pair of short shorts and a tank top, said.
"I think you girls should go to bed already." Kyoko told them. "And don't even think about trying to sneak in to Tsukune's room because I'll be sleeping in there tonight."
"What!? You're sleeping with Tsukune? But you're cousins!" Kurumu exclaimed in shock.
"I didn't say that. I'm going to sleep in his room, not in his bed." Kyoko said. She then grinned devilishly and added, "But it wouldn't be a problem for me to sleep with him anyways. After all, we bathed and slept together when we were kids all the time."
'Gee, rub it in why don't ya?' Kurumu thought to herself, annoyed that Kyoko could make such a claim about her boyfriend while she could not. Kurumu yawned and was beginning to feel a little tired so she figured she'd take the girl's suggestion. Mizore was feeling the same way so the four teens said goodnight to each other and made their ways to their rooms.
Tsukune was sitting on his bed and looking at Kyoko as she pulled out a futon that was kept under his bed and asked, "So Kyoko, you're really going to stay the night, huh?"
"Of course, I have to make sure those girls don't try anything naughty with you at night. Of course, if you would prefer, we could always get you a chastity belt!" Kyoko said with a playful wink.
"Yeah, you do know that I had nothing to do with them walking in on me in the bath, right?" Tsukune asked.
"Don't worry. I know you wouldn't do anything like that, Tsuki. Still, you're a pretty lucky guy to have two girls that like you so much." Kyoko said as she slipped in to the futon.
"Yeah, I guess you're right. Goodnight Kyoko." Tsukune said and turned out the lights.
"Night Tsuki." Kyoko replied then yawned and settled in to her futon.
Meanwhile in the guest room, Kurumu and Mizore were looking back and forth between each other and the one queen sized bed before them. Needless to say things had not gone the way either of them had expected, nor wanted. Kurumu and Mizore found themselves sharing the bed for the night, facing opposite ways of course. "If it wasn't for Tsukune's cousin I could be curled up next to Tsukune right now." Kurumu said sadly.
"Yeah….me to." Mizore replied.
"I think it might be a little crowded with all three of us in Tsukune's bed. We'd be all lying on top of each other." Kurumu joked with a small mischievous grin.
"I could get in to that.." Mizore muttered then yawned a little as she curled in to the covers and got comfortable.
"Iya! Hey Mizore, get your icy foot out of my butt!" Kurumu exclaimed, Mizore had accidentally put the heel of her foot up against Kurumu's backside.
"Oops, sorry." Mizore apologized then fell asleep.
Mizore woke up the next morning with a small yawn as her eyes slowly opened. She sat up and noticed that all of the sheets and blankets had been pulled off the bed. She then looked to her right side when she realized that Kurumu was nowhere in sight. Mizore peered over the side of the bed to find Kurumu on floor with the blankets all wrapped around her as she shivered. The succubus had no clue that sharing a bed with a snow woman guaranteed a cold night and her small nighty had worked against her. "Hey, why are you such a blanket hog?" Mizore asked curiously.
Kurumu looked up at Mizore with a slightly annoyed look and replied, "I don't know, why did you drop your body temperature when you were sleeping and then try to spoon with me?"
"Oh yeah, my bad. We do that sometimes. Drop our body temperatures I mean." Mizore said with a shrug as she readjusted her tank top which had rode up during the night and stood up. "Well c'mon, let's go see about Tsukune."
"Oh yeah that's right! I'm going to make my breakfast so that my Tsukune can wake up to my cooking." Kurumu said happily as she hopped up to her feet.
"That'd be a waste, Tsukune's going to fill up on my cooking." Mizore replied as the two of them walked down the hallway.
"How about we both make breakfast and let Tsukune decide which he likes better." Kurumu said simply as she gently eased Tsukune's bedroom door open and peeked inside. Mizore did the same but the two girls quickly became enraged when they noticed Kyoko curled up next to Tsukune. Kurumu's nails instinctively grew sharp as she spoke, "That incestuous bitch, she tricked us!"
"That human doesn't know who she's dealing with." Mizore added as her hands turned to ice claws. The two girls were about to walk in to the room but stopped and hid when they saw Tsukune start to stir and awaken.
Tsukune was shocked to find Kyoko next to him. He gently shook her to wake her up. "Hey Kyoko, what's the deal?" He asked.
Kyoko rubbed her eyes sleepily and said, "What's the deal with what? Oh, you mean me? I had a bad dream so I slipped in with you last night, that's all. Old habits I guess."
Kurumu and Mizore were hiding outside the door, overhearing the two cousins. They quickly went back to their human forms. Kurumu let out a sigh and said, "I guess we'll let her off the hook this time. C'mon, let's go."
"Yeah alright, I'm still jealous though." Mizore remarked in a whisper so that Tsukune and Kyoko could not hear them as they walked downstairs.
When Tsukune and Kyoko went downstairs they found Kurumu and Mizore hard at work making breakfast. The girls explained that both of them had made breakfast for Tsukune. Kyoko took the opportunity to volunteer her services by trying both of the girls' food. She said that since she was testing both girls, she should test their cooking as well. This was more of just an excuse for Kyoko to get first go at the food. In the end of things, Kyoko had eaten far more than everyone else. Kurumu looked over the table at Kyoko with an annoyed look and asked, "So? How was it?"
"Yeah? You obviously got a good taste of both." Mizore added.
Kyoko grinned happily and patted her stomach a little, "Oh man, that was great. I'm totally stuffed."
"Great! Now whose was better!?" Kurumu and Mizore both asked together in frustration. They did not quite like that Kyoko had eaten most of their food instead of Tsukune.
"Oh yeah…I completely forgot about that. Umm, it's a tie." Kyoko said with a sheepish grin.
"Umm, I thought all of the food was really great too." Tsukune said with a small smile, trying to ease the tension in the air.
"So, what do you three plan on doing today?" Kyoko asked.
"Well, I was thinking of going to check out where our new school is going to be." Tsukune said.
"Oh! That sounds like fun. I'll go too!" Kurumu said with a smile.
"Yeah, I'll go along as well. Might as well." Mizore added.
About an hour later Tsukune, Kurumu, and Mizore were all walking down the street with Tsukune leading the way. Tsukune made his way towards the street and the address that had been written in the note he had received from Yokai. "Hmm, it should be right around here." Tsukune said as the trio turned a corner and walked along a little more until they came across a very old looking school.
"This must be it!" Kurumu said and pointed out to the various different construction workers that were walking around the grounds and working on various different parts of the building.
"Oh wow! I knew this address seemed familiar." Tsukune said in surprise when he saw the familiar building.
"What do you mean, Tsukune?" Mizore asked. Tsukune went on to explain that this school had been closed down several decades ago, before he was born. Supposedly the school had been haunted.
"I wonder why they decided to move the school to the human world though." Kurumu mentioned.
"Yeah, that's pretty weird." Mizore agreed.
"Oh look, it's Ruby!" Tsukune mentioned as he pointed out to the beautiful witch who was currently overseeing the construction, she was wearing a construction uniform with a hardhat on her head. The construction workers weren't exactly sure as to why the person in charge was a teenage girl, but she was beautiful so they had no complaints. The group walked across the street to the front gate of the school and that was when Ruby noticed them.
"Hey Tsukune, how have you all been?" Ruby asked as she quickly walked up to meet them.
"Just fine, what are you up to here, Ruby? They have you helping with the construction?" Tsukune asked.
"Yep, I'm the principal's eyes and ears here on sight. He wants everything to go perfectly so that classes can resume as soon as possible. Luckily the building doesn't need too much work so we should be ready in about one week. So what are you all doing together? I thought I had taken you both back to home. Don't tell me you're bugging Tsukune again?" Ruby asked accusingly as she looked at both Kurumu and Mizore.
"Not at all! Tsukune's opened up his house to us and now we're living together." Kurumu said in delight.
"Oh, then you are bugging him again? Last time I was there, his parents seemed pretty eager to get you out of there. I doubt that's changed." Ruby remarked.
"Don't worry about it, it's fine Ruby." Tsukune told her. He was being at least partially truthful.
"So hey, what's up with the school being in the human world now? Isn't that going to cause problems?" Mizore asked.
"That's what I thought too, but the principal said differently. He thought it was a great idea. I'd like to say more but I can't right now. But everyone is going to find out everything once classes resume. Anyways, I need to get back to work but I'll see you later." Ruby said then resumed to overseeing the construction workers.
Things were going along as per usual for the rest of the day until the following morning when there was a ring at the doorbell. Tsukune opened the door was surprised to see both Moka and Yukari standing there with bags in hand. "Hi Tsukune!" Yukari said cheerfully.
"Umm, hello Tsukune. I hope we aren't intruding but umm….we were…." Moka stuttered.
"We were hoping we could stay here with you, Tsukune. If you don't mind that is." Yukari finished for Moka.
"Oh Tsukune…whose at the door darling?" Kurumu asked as she walked up behind Tsukune slipped her arms around his shoulders but stopped when she noticed Yukari and Moka both there. "Ahh! No way! First Mizore and now you two?" Kurumu said, "How'd you two hear about this?"
"From Ruby!" Yukari said happily then looked at Tsukune and asked, "So Tsukune, do you mind if we move in? If you have the room of course. I don't have a lot of experience with the human world so my parents thought I'd be better off if I was with my friends."
Tsukune let out a small sigh. It was only fair to let them since Kurumu and Mizore were already living there. "Alright, that's fine I guess. At least for the time being." And with that, Tsukune found himself living with not two but four girls. A vampire, a succubus, a witch, and a snow woman.
Kurumu should really learn how to keep her mouth shut sometimes although it wasn't as if Moka and Yukari weren't going to find out eventually. Next time on Rosario+Succubus II Tsukune will try to handle having four girls under his roof while also returning to school life and having some old friends coming around. I hope everyone enjoyed this story. Leave a review or feedback as always if you wish and I'll see you all next time.
