Kurai woke up, and instantly took into his surroundings. Everywhere around him, there was nothing but pitch black darkness. Throughout the darkness, Kurai could hear a voice.
It was sweet and soothing, almost like a mother's lullaby. But there was a dark tone in her voice.
"Unclean, impure, unclean, impure," That was all she said, and she continued to say.
Kurai ran through the darkness trying to run away from the voice. But the more he ran, the louder she sounded.
"Unclean, impure, unclean, impure."
Kurai felt a sharp pain on his chest, and on his back. The scars that around his body grew searing hot, and they felt like they were about to split open.
The woman's voice grew louder. "UNCLEAN, IMPURE, UNCLEAN, IMPURE, UNCLEAN, IMPURE, UNCLEAN, IMPURE."
Kurai's breathing grew rapid and heavy, as her voice was ringing in his head.
"UNCLEAN, IMPURE, UNCLEAN, IMPURE, UNCLEAN, IMPURE, UNCLEAN, IMPURE."
It was then he snapped, "SHUT UP!" He screamed out the top of his lungs.
Kurai sat up on his bed bolted awake, his breathing was shallow and deep. He looked up at his alarm clock. It read 2:57 AM.
"Aw Jeez." He sighed as he went up to go to the bathroom.
He washed his face with cold water and let it run through his hair, hoping to help with the excruciating headache he's had since yesterday.
"That dream, it couldn't be." He thought to himself.
He snapped back to reality. "No, they're dead, they're all dead," he assured himself.
His voice sounded more depressed. "Just like her." He whispered to himself.
He was brought out of his thoughts when he suddenly heard someone knock on his door. He walked across his dark room, and opened the door. No one was there.
"Assholes." He said, thinking it was a prank.
He shut the door and was walking back to bed, when someone knocked on the door again. Kurai was clearly pissed off.
He yanked the door open. "Listen you little f..." No one was there again. He sighed and looked down, but he noticed there was a package with a yellow card on it.
Kurai took the package back in his room and snapped his fingers. Instantly the lamp on his desk flipped on, and he put the package on his desk. He took the card, and began to read what was written. It read:
Hope this will help keep your head under control. You better get some sleep.
Sincerely, A friend.
Kurai smirked. "Thanks, "Friend." he said.
It was another beautiful day at Yokai Academy, well as beautiful as a school full of monsters can be anyway.
Tsukune and Moka were walking to class like they normally do every morning. But Tsukune was in his own little world having a daydream. Back in the real world, he had actually agreed to let Moka suck his blood, he finally woke up from his dream as Moka was sucking his blood. When he realized what happened, he yelled in pain. Moka finally let go after having her fill.
"Thank you, Tsukune!" she exclaimed as she started dragging him towards class.
Tsukune thought to himself as Moka skipped ahead. "I wonder if she knows why I let her do that."
When Tsukune was out of earshot, Moka blushed, "his blood, it's so yummy." She whispered to herself.
Pretty soon, the two had met up with Kurai.
"Hi Kurai, good morning." Moka said cheerfully, but the mood changed when she got a good look at him. He had bags under his eyes, his eyes were droopy, his hair was messier than usual, and it looked like he had a hard time getting dressed.
"Kurai, you don't look too well, is everything okay?" Tsukune asked concerned.
Kurai turned to them. "I'm fine, I jut didn't get much sleep last night." He assured them.
They both looked uneasy, but they believed him.
During Ms. Nekenome's class, Tsukune had fell asleep and was having a fantasy dream involving him and Moka.
They both closed their eyes, puckered their lips and leaned in closer to…
WHAM!
Tsukune was suddenly shocked awake by a chalkboard eraser to the head. Snapping his eyes open, he looked to see Miss Nekonome glaring, but still retaining a sunny disposition.
"Now I sure hope my class isn't boring, Mr. Aono," the cat woman teacher said, her smile never disappearing even in situations like this.
"No, ma'am," Tsukune shook his head.
"Well, please try to stay awake, alright?" she advised, as the hair shaped like ears twitched on her head, "I have an important announcement to make."
Tsukune nodded and straightened himself up in his seat. He could hear his classmates snickering, Kurumu was just gazing at him lovingly, probably thinking he looked cute when he was sleeping, and even Moka was giggling too. And Kurai shook his head.
Tsukune frowned but then it quickly turned into a smile as he remembered the dream. It didn't stop the throbbing in his head though.
"Now then," Miss Nekonome smiled. "Because our school is made much like human schools, joining a club is mandatory in our curriculum. That way we will be able to join the human world much more easily. Your participation in clubs will help better enable you to understand and fit more in human society. It will also deepen your tastes in their arts, and a better understanding of human culture."
"But miss!" one student called as he raised his hand. "If that's the case then you'd get an F for your disguise."
"Huh?" Miss Nekonome blinked. She looked at her behind and spotted her tail. She then poked at the feline ears on the top of her head. She looked between her obvious feline features and then back at the student who pointed them out. She was then a flurry of movement. "RAWWR!"
"Gyaaah!" the student suddenly cried. His face was suddenly covered with scratches. He dropped back into his seat, seemingly in a daze.
"Anyway," Miss Nekonome smiled, somehow looking fine even though she had just mauled one of her own students. "All the clubs will be running booths all day! Don't be afraid to visit the Newspaper Club too. I'm the advisor so don't be shy!"
Tsukune snickered at the blatant advertising. Still, he had been wondering about extracurricular activities here at Yokai Academy. He hadn't seen any information about one since he came to thee school. Of course, with all the fights he had gotten into, as well as the extra attention that his friendly girl trio had kept giving him, he hadn't been able to check.
"C'mon Tsukune!" Moka smiled as she took her friend's arm. "Let's see what kind of clubs are out there!"
"Oh, right!" Tsukune nodded.
Classes for the rest of the day were cancelled because of the day's "Club Fair". All the school's clubs had set up booths to advertise their clubs and to draw in new members who were interested in joining. Tsukune looked around with a look of wonder and amazement. If he didn't know better, he would think that this really was a human school and not a monster school trying to mimic one.
"Tsukune, have you decided on a club yet?" asked Moka who was with him.
"No, I haven't found one yet." He responded.
"I know, why don't we join a club together." Moka said cheerfully.
Tsukune blushed at the thought of him and Moka, alone in the same club.
The other clubs didn't look nearly as appealing. A creepy guy with his eyes bulging out, holding a camera and ghost photos moaned out, "Care to join the Photography Club, and take pictures of Ghosts?"
This gained a response, with Moka running into Tsukune's arms, with a startled scream, "Aaah!"
The same thing happened when they checked out the Acupuncture Club, with their latest member. A hulking green bald fellah with needles all over his body, glared down at Tsukune and Moka, as he asked, "Care to join the Acupuncture Club?"
Once again, Moka ran into Tsukune's arms, smiling as she screamed, "Aaah!"
Things didn't go too well elsewhere, as a gaggle of Mummies tried to surround them, "Mummy Club?"
Third time's the charm, Moka leapt into Tsukune's arms, swept off her feet, as she screamed again in startled terror, "Aaah!"
The Chemistry Club wasn't any better, as they were all a bunch of lovesick geeks, who held out Love Potions. One of the members, a perverted giggling geek, held out a violet flask, hoping for Moka to ingest, as he advertised pervertedly, "Care to Join the Chemistry Club, and test out our Love Potions, Moka?"
Moka ran up, pressing herself to Tsukune for protection, as she smiled with a startled scream, "Aaaah!"
Tsukune's sweat dropped as he looked to the girl, and mumbled, "You're enjoying this, aren't you?" He then looked around, and groaned, "Isn't there a single normal club out in this school?"
As they kept looking around they noticed a lot of guys crowding around one booth in particular. Being curious they went to take a look.
When they got there, Tsukune wasn't surprised why all the guys were there.
It turns out it was the Swimming Clubs booth and the people who were trying to get new members to join were all girls in bikinis.
"Hello, I'm Tamao Ichinose, captain of the swim team and I'd like us to swim together." she said in sweet voice.
Tamao looked like she was a second year student with turquoise colored hair along with having fair skin and cyan colored eyes. She was wearing a purple bikini with a sarong wrapped around her waist.
"As of now, the swim club consists of only female members. So, any guys joining up will receive special treatment from the seniors." Tamao told all the guys near her.
This seemed to make the guys go crazy.
Tsukune just mentally sighed. 'Perverts.' he thought.
"Tsukune?" Moka said in an unsure voice.
"Yeah, Moka?" he asked as he turned to face at her.
"Are...are you wanting to join this club?" Moka asked still sounding nervous.
Tsukune looked back at all the guys wanting to join the Swimming Club. "Not really. Considering that I'm public enemy number one in most boys eyes for female attention. I don't want to make things worse." he answered.
Moka's face brightened up at the answer. "Then let's go look at the other clubs." she said.
As the two turned to leave they were interrupted
"Ah, are you leaving already?"
The two turned around to see Tamao Ichinose looking at the two or to be more accurate Tsukune. "I was hoping you could join the Swimming Club." She said in a flirty tone.
Tsukune's face flushed with embarrassment, he still wasn't use to being the center of attention. Especially, when most of the attention was coming from the female students.
Moka didn't like how Tamao was being so friendly to Tsukune. She grabbed Tsukune's hand while giving the girl a dirty look. "I'm sorry but, me and Tsukune were going to look at some of the other clubs." Moka explained in a stern tone.
The friendly look on Tamao's face never left as she replied. "Really? Well, it just so happens that the Swimming Club is holding a Swimsuit Contest and members from all the other clubs will be there. So, why don't you come as well, that way you don't have to search all over for the clubs. Let them come to you."
Tsukune was still unsure about all of it, even more with the Swimsuit Contest going on, but he could see the logic in Tamao's statement. "It does make some sense." Tsukune said. "What do you think, Moka?" He wasn't going to make Moka go and if she didn't then Tsukune had a reason not to go.
Moka looked down at her rosary as she took a firm grip on it. "Well..The thing is..." Moka tried to explain.
"I heard that you're a vampire, Moka Akashiya." Tamao said, interuptting Moka. "Wonder if all the rumors of that are true."
"What rumors are you talking about?" Tsukune asked the two girls.
"Nothing." Moka quickly said, as she stood in front of Tsukune. "We'll be there."
Tamao's smile seemed to grow even larger at that statement. "Good." she said as she began walking back to the rest of the club. "Don't forget your swimsuits."
Tsukune was giving Moka a concerned look. "What was that all about?" He thought, but shook it off.
"I don't need to worry about it, if it was serious she would've told me. Plus, how bad could the Swimming Club be?" He thought to himself.
Tsukune wasn't prepared for the scene that awaited him at the swimming pool. He stood next to the pool in his blue swim trunks, with his eyes widened and face flushed at the scene in front of him.
The scene could only be described as something straight out of a teenaged boy's fantasy.
There were pretty girls in bikinis everywhere. The guys that were joining the club weren't having a bad gazing time, and actually got to interact with the girls with no signs of rejection. The girls were splashing and giggling with the boys who had come. It seemed too good to be true that they were getting along, with no signs of being shy around the boys at all.
Tsukune tore his eyes from the scene to see Moka standing at the metal chain link fence that surrounded the pool. She was still wearing her school uniform and she looked extremely uncomfortable and skittish around the pool. So, he decided to go up and talk to her.
"Why did I have a feeling in my gut you guys were going to be here? A familiar voice said.
Tsukune turned around to see Kurai swimming on his back, somehow staying afloat. He was wearing a plain black T-shirt and black shorts.
"You joined the swimming club too Kurai?" Tsukune asked.
"Well, most of the clubs I looked at were runned by freaks and weirdoes, one thing led to another, and here I am." He was interrupted as two bikini broads dragged him away.
Tsukune was again about to go to Moka, when all of a sudden, the swim captain, Tamao approached him.
"Why don't I teach you to swim. And don't worry, I'll make you feel really good." She said in a rather seductive tone.
"Well…I don't know," Tsukune muttered.
"Oh come on," Tamao giggled, as she took Tsukune's arm. "All work and no play makes you a dull boy, you know."
Moka tried to protest, but Tamao was already off with Tsukune. However, after seeing Tsukune like that, with Tamao, Moka seethed with anger, as she fumed.
"Stupid Tsukune, acting all flirty with her."
Finally, after seeing Tamao "get close" with Tsukune, she shouted, "That's enough!"
Both Tamao, who didn't seem fazed by that, and Tsukune stopped in their tracks, as Tsukune looked to Moka, "Moka?"
"Tsukune, you really wanted to join the Swimming Club just so you could hook up with girls, didn't you?" she interrogated.
Pulling away from Tamao, Tsukune protested, "Moka, you know that's not why we're…"
"DON'T YOU DARE TELL ME I DON'T KNOW TSUKUNE!," Moka nearly screamed out.
She continued to yell. "I'm not putting up with this! Goodbye!" And started to run off, with Tsukune about to catch up to her.
But a sudden splash caught her attention, and she had to move to avoid being splashed by one of the other members of the Swim Club. She gulped, nearly getting hit by it, as she paled and slightly shook in fear. Tsukune saw that, and it was evident that Moka was afraid of the water for some reason. Tamao stepped up, and smirked.
"You two sound like an arguing married couple." She said as she then looked to Moka, and advised.
"Listen, Moka, there's a fundamental rule in life that I've learned in my Freshman Year here. The only thing a boy and girl should know as they grow up, is to take and be taken, if you get my meaning. This is the swimming club, Akashiya, so if you're not going to swim, go bother someone else."
Another splash caught her attention, this time, striking a little water on her leg. Moka paled at the contact, and gulped.
"I've got to get out of here." She thought and ran off, before Tsukune could catch her. All he could do was watch her run away like that in fear, it wasn't hard to see something here scared the life out of her.
"Moka, wait." Tsukune yelled, but she was out of earshot. A second later Kurai, who was still swimming on his back, approached him. "Dude, you messed up big time." He scoffed.
Tsukune sighed. "I know."
"YAHOO-HOOOOOOOO!
Both boys looked and saw Kurumu jump off the edge of the pool , and was forty feet in the air. She flipped in the air like an acrobatic, and landed crotch first on Tsukune's face.
"Hi Tsukune, I just joined the swimming club too, Isn't that great?" She said as the both of them fell in the pool.
"Kurumu, hey-" He then took notice of her. 'WOAH!'
Even Kurai couldn't help but gawk at her.
"Oh, do you like it?" she smirked as she did a sexy pose that made her breasts bounce. She was in a yellow bikini that didn't leave too much to the imagination. He nodded dumbly. She then hugged his arm to her chest, and began rubbing it up and down really fast.
"Well, I hope we can get some alone time later. Then I can take it off for you." She pressed on further, as she asked innocently, "Um, Tsukune… maybe sometime today… you could teach me to swim."
Tsukune's face was about as red as it could possibly get. "Umm..Ku...Kurumu...yo..your...breasts..." he tried to say.
Kurumu supported a blush of her own when she reached for the knot in the back, allowing the straps to come undone, but cupped her chest to keep the bikini on. "Yeah, they are hurting a bit." she commented.
At this point, Tsukune couldn't even think straight.
'Today's the day I make Tsukune mine.' Kurumu thought. She then re-tied the top and Tsukune over messing with the bottom half now. "Do you think this swimsuit is a little tight on me?" she asked in an innocent voice.
*KLONG!*
A large pail knocked Kurumu to the ground before it disappeared in a puff of smoke.
Yukari decided to show up and interrupt. "Teach me too!" she exclaimed as she grabbed hold of one of Tsukune's arms, she was wearing a blue one piece and her hat. She then sent a glare towards Kurumu.
'I won't let Kurumu have her way.' she thought.
Kurumu then grabbed Tsukune's other arm and tried to pull him away from Yukari. "What are you doing? He's mine!" Kurumu said to Yukari.
Yukari pulled him back towards her. "No, he's not!" Yukari exclaimed.
"Give up you flat-chested little girl!" Kurumu said to her as the game of tug of war continued.
"It's not like bigger is better!" Yukari countered.
Kurumu then stopped the game and put an arm behind her head and the other under her breast. "Really? When I was your age mine were already about this size." Kurumu mocked Yukari.
Yukari was looking at her small breasts when she remembered something. "I heard big breasts sag early." she responded.
This seemed to tick Kurumu off. "What was that." she said.
All of the sudden the two began fighting. Kurumu put Yukari in headlock and Yukari would get out of it and jump on Kurumu's back and pull her hair. This cycle repeated itself for a while.
Both boys just watched the two girls go at it.
"I don't even know what I'm watching anymore." Kurai said as he swam away.
As for where Moka was, she was sitting in an alley between two buildings, gritting her teeth in pain. Some of the water had gotten on her and now she was in pain. To vampires like herself, water was a weakness and in her sealed state she was feeling intense pain.
Her Rosario suddenly spoke, "You fool, why did you even go near the pool? You should've stayed away. You know what water does to us."
"I know, but I… I just… I wanted to be with Tsukune," she said, shivering.
"Fool, if the boy can't see how hurt you are he's not worth the trouble."
Moka pulled her legs close, hiding her cringed fear, as well as a few soft sobs escaping her from her fear, as well as the huge wall that came between her and Tsukune.
"Tsukune…" she whimpered, feeling worlds apart from him like this.
Meanwhile, the swim club opened up a celebration, called the All Girls Swimming Event, in which Kurumu was the leader of Red team and Yukari was the leader of the White Team.
It was basically an event where girls would run around doing various competition, losing their tops in the process. After the contest, Yukari and Kurumu were fighting once again, and Kurai was busy making out with one of the girls.
Back at the pool, Tsukune was sitting at the edge with his feet hanging in the water. He wanted to go off and find Moka, but Yukari and Kurumu were still fighting. And he was worried that they fight get out of hand and they would end up hurting each other or any innocent bystanders. He let out a small sigh.
After Moka had regained her strength, she got back on to her feet. Though most of her strength was a bit gone. She had to lean on the wall to steady herself, as she prepared herself to go back to the pool.
However, Inner Moka wasn't about to let that happen.
"Don't even think about it. Do you really want to go back there and go through all that again?" Outer Moka frowned, but Inner Moka wasn't through.
"Just end the relationship with him. He obviously doesn't appreciate your needs. He doesn't care…"
"It's Not True!" Moka shouted, not believing what her Inner self said. "He's not like that!"
"I don't care." Moka said to herself, moving much better, as if her determination was giving her strength. "I just… I want... I just want to be with Tsukune."
"What's going on with you, Moka?" Tsukune thought.
At the pool Tsukune eventually had enough of just sitting there as he stood up to go look for Moka. But, the sound of screaming quickly changed all that. He turned around to see most of the girls from the Swimming Club bitting the guys on the neck and turning them into shriveled, pruned husks.
The all of the sudden some seaweed shot out of the water and wrapped around Tsukune and pulled him into the water. He was pulled until he was in the deep end and someone had wrapped their arms around his waist.
Tsukune turned his head to see none other than Tamao. But, her ears were now some fin like appendage and a large orange-scaly fish tail stuck out of the water behind her.
"Sorry, Tsukune, but I can't let you escape." Tamao said in a taunting tone.
"What's going on?" Tsukune questioned as he tried to break out of Tamao's grip.
"Nothing much." Tamao replied. "Luring men into the water to suck out their life-force is how we mermaids survive."
Quick Monster Facts:
Mermaids are aquatic monsters that have been popular in myths and legends that originated in ancient times, they are portrayed as beautiful women with the bottom half of a fish. Contrary to the sweet image projected in popular fairy tales, sailors know that these terrible beauties portend shipwrecks and death.
Yukari and Kurumu ran to the edge of the pool, after seeing what was happening in an attempt to rescue Tsukune. But they were stopped, as a swarm of mermaids blocked their way, hissing at them keep from making a move.
The girl Kurai was making out with, turned into her mermaid form, and was now trying to turn him into a pruned husk. But Kurai was holding her by the throat.
"Come on sweetie, one little bite won't hurt." She begged as he was holding her back.
"Kurumu, a little help would really be appreciated." He responded.
Kurumu extended her wings and flew above him, she did a spinning swan dive, turned, and kicked the mermaid on her head. She grabbed Kurai, and flew in the air.
"You okay?" She asked him.
Kurai nodded, but didn't say another word.
Tsukune was starting to sweat bullets, but it became worse when he noticed the swarm of mermaids that were now circling him and Tamao.
"Come on, Tamao."
"Yeah, don't hog him all to yourself."
"I want a taste."
"Yeah, me too."
"Sorry about being so rough with you. But I've had my eyes on you since this school year started and I saw you at the Opening Ceremony." Tamao explained as her mouth elongated and rows of razor sharp teeth were visible. "You have such an intoxicating smell… much like a human."
She moved to bite him, but she was interuptted.
"Tsukune!"
Everyone looked to see Moka arriving at the pool to see the whole scene. And without even thinking ran towards the pool and jumped in. As soon as she hit the water it looked like she was giving off electrical discharge. Not only that but, she was having a hard time staying above water.
"Moka!" Tsukune shouted in concern. "What's happening!?" he asked no one in particular.
"Water is a vampires weakness." Yukari answered. "If this keeps up then Moka wil..."
That was all Tsukune needed to hear as he managed to put all the pieces together. He then began fighting even harder agianst Tamao's grip. "Let me go, damn it!" he shouted.
Tamao managed to keep her grip, apparently mermaids were much stronger than humans. "I don't think so." she said. "Your mine."
*BAM!*
All of a sudden Kurumu flew in with Kurai and delivered another flying drop kick to Tamao, causing her to let Tsukune go. They both began restraining Tamao.
"Go!" Kurumu shouted. "Get Moka out of the water!"
Tsukune wasted no time, he dove in to rescue the drowning Moka. But he realized it was going to be difficult because she started sinking like a rock. Tsukune reached out his hand to grab her, but he accidentally gripped her Rosary, and with ease, pulled it off.
The bright red light and harsh Demonic Aura came, along with the sky turning red, and bats swarmed from the sky, and dove in the water. A minute later Inner Moka rised from the water, silver hair, and all.
Inner Moka coughed up a little water, and then glared at Tsukune.
"You idiot! You took your time." She yelled.
He backed away in fear of her.
Tamao spotted Inner Moka with a look of fear. "Y..You really are a vampire?" She stuttered.
After a second, she smirked. "It doesn't matter anyhow, you being a vampire in water...IS A HUGE ADVANTAGE TO ME!" She yelled.
She and the others then shot up in a sort of dolphin stance, and started kicking water at Moka, weakening her further.
"C'mon, Vampire, drink up!" Tamao taunted, as the struggling Moka was doing her best to get away, despite all the sparking electricity dancing off her body.
The other mermaids taunted as they kicked water at her, "Drink it! Drink it! Drink it! Drink it! Drink it!"
SLAM! BANG! CRASH!
The rows of mermaids were swatted down, by kicks and punches from Kurumu and Kurai, and by wash pans from Yukari, who waved her wand out, shouted, "Drink that, you fishes."
"I don't need your help in this," Inner Moka pride fully defended.
"Come on, I know the water weakened you a bit, so just swallow your pride and let us help," Kurumu explained as she dragged Tsukune out of the water. The vampire nodded.
"No!" Tamao shrieked. "I won't let our meals get away!" She glared at Moka, "I don't care how tough you are in the water, this is our ocean, and you're just a barracuda."
"Yeah," Moka pointed out, "But don't get cocky. I could both beat and eat a minnow like you in my sleep."
Tamao's forehead sported a vein, as she took that comment personally, "Minnow? You'll pay for that!"
Diving into the water, Tamao surged towards the image of Moka, who had just punched one of her club members out of the pool when they tried attacking her from behind. Turning, Moka narrowed her slit eyes on the approaching mermaid. Growling, she took off with a surge of water. She was the last mermaid in the pool.
Suddenly, the two shot up in the air, with Moka higher than Tamao, who gloated, "Nowhere left to swim, Akashiya!" Just then, Moka smirked, which irked Tamao, as she shouted, "And what's so funny?"
"You took the bait, just like a fish," Moka gloated.
Tamao's jaw opened wider, as she shouted, "Oh, really? And what makes you think you have the advantage?"
Moka flipped in the air and stuck her leg out. "KNOW...YOUR...PLACE!" She enunciated.
She delivered one of her famous kicks to Tamao's cheek. She fell at great speed, and landed in the net hoop from the swimsuit contest earlier.
"Dammit, how could she defeat me so easily?" Tamao said before she passed out.
Moka had landed in the water, and started sparking again. Kurai had helped her out the water before it became severe.
Moka made Kurai stop holding her and back away. But she fell on her knees trying to catch her breath. This time Tsukune ran up to her to try to help her.
"Whoa, hey, are you alright?" He asked as he approached her.
She didn't say a word, instead she slapped him, right across the face, as she grabbed her Rosary. Everyone was surprised, even Tsukune. Even Inner Moka wouldn't do that without a reason.
She finally talked. "Now you listen to me, you don't know a single thing about us. So don't even pretend 're a little boy who can't think of anyone but himself."
Tsukune rubbed the mark she had left when she hit him, he was oblivious to her meaning.
Moka sighed. "FYI, she was crying her eyes out." She turned and walked to Kurai. She was too tired to say anything, and reattached the Rosary.
And after Tsukune, Kurumu, Kurai and Yukari changed back into their school uniforms they left.
The next day however, didn't go to well for Tsukune and his friends. All the semi-normal clubs were full and the only ones that had any openings...well it was a given that none of them would be joining them anytime soon.
Not only that but Moka was doing a lot better. She looked as healthy as she normally did, but that was thanks to Tsukune offering more than the usual amount of blood she normally took. Yukari and Kurumu were against it, but after he explained he was doing it to help her health, since it was his fault she was hurt they begrudgingly excepted that.
"Man...What are we going to do now?" Tsukune asked the four as they ate lunch.
The other didn't reply, but their down cast looks pretty much said it all.
"Why so glum?" asked a cheerful voice and they turned to see their teacher, Miss Nekonome.
"We don't have a club to join." Kurumu replied.
"Oh, that's no problem!" Miss Nekonome told her with a knowing smile. "Why don't you all join the Newspaper Club? All our members graduated last year so it's pretty empty."
"That's not a bad idea." Tsukune said perking up. "What do you say, Moka?"
"It sounds like a good idea," said Moka.
"Hey, I'm joining too!" Kurumu exclaimed, as she shot up from her seat. "If Tsukune's joining the club, then so am I. I'm not about to let either you or the Inner Moka snatch him away!"
"Me too! Me too!" Yukari added in a cheerful voice.
"Not like I have a choice." Kurai said sarcastically, which in his translation, meant 'Okay'.
Ms. Nekonome smiled, "Alright! Talk about a lucky break in finding new blood!" Looks like the Newspaper Club was going to get some members after all.
And speaking of Blood, Moka lunged at Tsukune, embracing him, getting close to his neck… "CHU!"
"Moka, come on! I gave you three days of blood already!" Tsukune cried out, feeling the fangs in his neck again.
Later at night, Kurai was in his room, finishing what was left of his homework.
"Still can't believe I hit 1st base with a mermaid." He said to himself.
He put a piece of gum in his mouth, hoping to get rid of the taste of salt water.
After he was finished with his assignments. He looked up at his clock. It read 8:57 PM.
He took out the unopened package from this morning and placed it on his desk.
He brought out his pocket knife and cut the box open. He looked down at the contents and smirked.
"What a surprise." He said to himself once again.
