A/N: Okay here is chapter 3 of Hitomi no Tsubasa. This chapter introduces Gin and the newspaper club. After this chapter though I will not be doing the major character introductions this way (until Mizore's introduced) and will be working on developing the plot of this story. Please enjoy and review.

Chapter 3: Clubs and the Wolf

"Today instead of regular classes we are having a day where first year students get to go and look into clubs where they will subsequently choose to join one" Ms. Nekonome said with a smile.

A bunch of the students groaned at the news. After all choosing a club could end up being a hellish experience due to the popular clubs being filled nearly instantly while those that weren't as popular ended up with the students who didn't really want to be there.

"Tsukune-kun which club are you planning on taking part in?" Moka asked as soon as homeroom was dismissed.

"I honestly don't know yet. However I do know that I'm going to rely on my gut feeling when deciding" Tsukune said with a grin that is until his stomach grumbled and he turned crimson. "Sorry, I skipped breakfast to make it here on time."

Moka just giggled at Tsukune's actions before giving him a nod to show that she accepted his apology.

"Nii-san, we need to join the same club" Yukari said as she latched onto Tsukune's waist.

"Sure Yukari-chan. I don't mind finding a club that we can both take part in" Tsukune told the little witch on his waste. 'That cuts swimming club from the options then' he thought as he began to search for other booths.

Moka watched the two with a smile. 'They're like a true brother and sister' she thought. 'At least I hope that's as far as their relationship goes.' Pushing down that thought the vampire followed along behind the other two as they looked through the different clubs.


At lunch Tsukune ignored his limitations on food and got into line to get a very hearty and large meal.

"How much did that set you back nii-san?" Yukari asked as she watched Tsukune come back with two trays of food.

"I'd rather not say. Let's just leave it at the fact that I should always have something to eat in the morning" Tsukune stated sheepishly as he sat down and began to eat.

"So did either of you find any interesting clubs?" Moka asked as soon as she joined the two.

"Not really. Nii-san and I took a look around at some of the booths, but there wasn't really anything that stood out" Yukari answered.

Moka let out a sigh. She too was struggling to find a decent club to take part in. She had been confronted by different groups and none of them seemed to be what she wanted to do. She was also worried about keeping an eye on Tsukune. After the incident with Kurumu, she had noticed that he suffered from something that neither wished to currently speak about. Almost as if she knew that she was being thought about the blue haired succubus suddenly showed up.

"Good afternoon all" Kurumu said with a grin as she made her way to the table where Tsukune, Yukari and Moka were located.

"Good morning Kurono-san" Tsukune greeted, returning her grin before going back to his food.

"I told you to call me Kurumu-chan" the succubus said.

Tsukune nodded in acknowledgement as he continued to eat his meal. Yukari just giggled at the frustrated look the succubus gained before she spoke up for him.

"Nii-san skipped breakfast this morning so he's quite hungry right now. If you'd be patient with him he'll be willing to speak soon" Yukari said kindly, hiding her plans for what to do if the Kurumu got to close to Tsukune.

"So have you found what club to take part in yet?" Kurumu asked them, getting a simultaneous shaking of heads in response. "Well then would you like to join Ms. Nekonome's newspaper club?"

Tsukune and Moka perked up at the invitation while Yukari managed to keep a poker face throughout.

"Sure, that would be a great club to take part in" Tsukune said as he swallowed down the last of his meal.

"I agree we'll go sign up with Ms. Nekonome after lunch" Moka agreed. "Thanks Kurumu-san."

Yukari nodded in agreement as well, but she continued to hold her poker face.

"Alright then, after lunch we'll all go see about the newspaper club" Kurumu said with a smile.


Getting into the newspaper club had been easy for the group. Apparently an incident had occurred the year prior that forced them to disperse leaving only the new club leader Ginei Morioka there.

"Welcome all to the newspaper club" said club leader welcomed as the group entered.

"You must be Morioka-san" Moka said as she walked into the room.

"Yes I am, but please call me Gin" Gin said as he beckoned for them all to take a seat.

"I'm Aono Tsukune" Tsukune said in introduction to the club leader.

"Hello and welcome to the newspaper club. After rumours about what happened last year began to be spread I feared no one would want to join a club like this" Gin stated with a sad smile. "But I am entirely thrilled to have you all here."

All of them gave their introductions and Gin moved on to discuss the purpose of the club and journalistic integrity. After finishing that Ms. Nekonome came in and requested that each of them find a story that they wish to have prepared for the first issue of the paper in two weeks time. Once that had been said they were dismissed for the rest of the day.

"Hey Aono-san, would you mind helping me with something?" Gin asked Tsukune once the others had all left.

"Sure senpai, what do you need help with?" Tsukune replied.

Gin just signalled for Tsukune to follow him and the young man hesitantly followed his older classmate out of the clubroom.


Tsukune and Gin made their way to one of the larger sheds behind the school building.

"I need some help getting my camera off the roof. I was talking with some girls when one of them instantly grabbed it and threw it up there."

Tsukune let out a sigh. Somehow he knew that Gin would be someone who ended up in that sort of trouble quite often.

"Don't expect me to help you all the time when you do these sorts of things" Tsukune told Gin as he went to get a ladder.

Upon finding the ladder Tsukune placed it against the shed and climbed up it and to the roof where he would find Gin's camera. Grabbing the camera Tsukune began his descent, unknowingly having his picture taken by a camera hidden in Gin's clothes.

"Thanks you're a life saver Aono-san" Gin said with a relieved smile as Tsukune handed him the camera. 'Yes especially now that I've got everything I need to force those girls away from you.'

Tsukune who had no idea about what Gin had done just accepted his thanks and left to go relax for the rest of the day.


"Tsukune-kun is it true?" Moka asked Tsukune early the next morning. "I was told that you were caught peeking in on the swim club girls as they were changing."

Tsukune blanched when he was told that. The mere idea of someone doing that went against all his morals and he quickly attempted to dissuade Moka.

"I swear I would never, ever, ever do something like that. I have a lot of respect for women and that means that doing something like that is against my morals" the young man stated to his vampire friend.

"Okay then. Thanks for clearing that up Tsukune-kun. Oh and can I have some blood?" Moka's innocent question at the end was followed up by Tsukune's cries of pain as she instantly bit into his neck.

"Moka-san next time please wait for an answer before digging in" Tsukune said just as Kurumu showed up and rushed over.

"Moka did you just drink some of Tsukune's blood? If you did I will not stand by and allow that to continue. After all he is destined to be my mate and I won't allow you to drain him dry."

Moka and Kurumu then began to argue as Tsukune approached the small witch waiting in the distance.

"Yukari-chan don't do anything to hurt them. Please just keep them under control for me" Tsukune begged as he covered the bite marks on his neck with his hand.

"Alright nii-san" Yukari said as she waved her wand and two washing basins crashed into both Moka's and Kurumu's heads.

While this was going on no one noticed Gin watching carefully from the shadows and planning his next move.


"Akashiya-san did you ask Aono-san about those pictures?" Gin asked the pink haired vampire when she was the first to show up to club that day.

"No I just asked him if he was doing what those pictures showed. However he denied it and I'm going to believe him when he says he's innocent" Moka answered.

"Good for you. Now let's just dispose of these and never speak of them again" Gin said with a smirk as he dropped the pictures into the trash can.


After club had ended for the day, both Moka and Gin excused themselves first while the others continued to work on their respective articles.

"Hey Tsukune-kun do you know why Moka-san and Gin-senpai seemed to scrutinize you for the entirety of club today?" Kurumu asked.

"Well someone must've started a rumour that I had been peeking in on the swim club girls" Tsukune shivered in disgust at the thought of doing that. "I told Moka-san that they weren't true though so everything should be fine soon."

"Oh, that would explain so much" Kurumu replied, somewhat to herself as she continued work on her article.

Tsukune nodded as he finished up what he was doing for the day and went to place it in the folder with the articles written by Moka and Gin. As he opened the folder, Gin's article was right on the top and it had a headline that caused Tsukune to begin fuming.

Aono Tsukune – Full Fledged Pervert

That title and the pictures that had definitely been doctored caused Tsukune's temper to flare up.

"How dare he do something like that" Tsukune muttered as he placed his article in the folder and walked away from the desk. "I'm going out to find Gin-senpai."

"Nii-san are you okay?" Yukari asked as Tsukune's anger was evident on his face.

"No, I'm honestly not okay. Gin-senpai doctored a picture of me to make it look like I was being a pervert and is going to use it as his article" Tsukune stated angrily. "So I'm going to go find him."

"Wait nii-san. Remember what your sensei said. You shouldn't be doing anything for revenge" Yukari begged him.

"Yeah, I won't do anything to him. I just want to talk" Tsukune told Yukari as he forced a smile onto his face.

With that he left the room to go find Gin, leaving Kurumu and Yukari alone.

"Is everything going to be alright with Tsukune-kun?" Kurumu asked the little witch once they had been left alone.

"If he doesn't attack Gin-senpai then yes everything will be alright. Though if Gin-senpai provokes him at all then we'll have to stop him from doing something he'll regret" Yukari said as she put away her work and stood up, prepared to chase after Tsukune.

"Wait for me" Kurumu called out as she followed Yukari out of the room to chase after Tsukune.


Gin didn't have to wait long to confront Tsukune as a furious Tsukune appeared and slowly yet purposefully approached him.

"Why would you do something like that to me senpai?" Tsukune asked as he fought down the smirk that had been building since he arrived.

"Do what?" Gin questioned innocently.

"Make that false headline about me" Tsukune said angrily, watching Gin closely as he began to shift to his true form.

"Well, why don't you make me explain" Gin finished transforming as he said this revealing his werewolf side to the young man standing in front of him. "After all no one has ever seen me like this and survived."

Tsukune's smirk could no longer be held back as he opened his palm and a flash of bright light enveloped the two of them.

As soon as Gin was able to see properly again he noticed that he was lying on his back and in extreme pain.

"What the hell did you just do!" he cried out angrily as he struggled to get up.

"I just used a spell, that's all. You said that I needed to defeat you to be able to get my answer so I did. Now please answer my question senpai" Tsukune said, his anger having dissipated after being able to punish Gin even slightly.

"Alright, I was trying to lure you out like this so that I could eliminate you and remove the biggest competition at the school" Gin said quickly.

Tsukune went pale at this. "What am I the biggest competition for?"

"Well think about it..." Gin began, just then Kurumu and Yukari arrived and were witnessing a sore Gin and calm Tsukune conversing. "You have the two hottest girls at school hanging off of you. What do you think that makes you?"

The sigh or relief that escaped Tsukune's lips was nerve racking for Gin.

"Oh that's good. I thought someone was out to kill me" Tsukune said causing Gin to start laughing at the comment. "However you Gin-senpai need to learn how to respectfully treat women. That way these sorts of events won't have to happen again."

Gin laughed and readily accepted the hand that Tsukune held out to help him up.

"You and I will burn that false article and then move on with our lives eh?" Gin asked once he was on his feet.

"Yeah, that'd be great" Tsukune replied as the two young men made their way towards Kurumu and Yukari.

"Don't worry Yukari, I did adhere to sensei's advice" Tsukune whispered to the little witch as he moved past them back to the school.

Kurumu and Yukari followed them back to the clubroom and Yukari leaned towards Kurumu.

"I think those two are going to have quite a strained relationship" Yukari whispered to the succubus who nodded in agreement.

"At least though, he won't be messing with Tsukune-kun anymore" Kurumu said and Yukari nodded in agreement.

As Tsukune had said once before, this year was going to be quite long.

End Chapter 3

A/N: Okay there it is the 3rd chapter of Hitomi no Tsubasa. Thank you for reading, I honestly hated this chapter (but I find Gin hard to write anyways so don't expect him to show up much) and it is shorter (again due to me having a hard time writing Gin). However I do want to say that this is the second chapter where Tsukune uses his magic (he does have access to magic, he just doesn't use it often for reasons that will be discussed in a later chapter) and it is a very brief usage. Also as I said at the top I will be developing this story's plot from chapter four on which also means that Mizore's introduction will be much different than that of the manga. Asides from that I still plan on using the three major canon events for Tsukune's first year Kuyou, the Lilith Mirror incident and the witch's knoll. They will happen in a slightly different order than the manga (for my creative purposes) so please enjoy. Anyways thanks to all who have read and reviewed and to all who have put this story under alert or favourites. I appreciate all of these so please enjoy and review.

Now to comment on the two reviews I got for the past chapter

Grave Wolf: You are eerily close to something I have planned to reveal during the fight with Kuyou so please enjoy the build up to that point and the continuation.

KonIsMyName: Yes Kurumu's charm did have a negative effect on Tsukune and caused his condition. I have yet to form the exact reason (I'm still working it out), but it that is what truly happened so just wait until Moka injects some of her blood into Tsukune ;-P. Anyways I have noticed that I have gotten a lot of favourites for this story, but not many people review so I must thank you for your review and please continue to enjoy my story.
