A/N: Well here I am once again with chapter 4 of Papermoon. For all those who are enjoying my story thanks and also thanks for those who review it gives me the encouragement to do this. Now on with the story! Oh, before I forget I want to say that I have recently read up to chapter 17 of Season II so the belmont whip and Tsukune's newfound Youkai skills will be present in this story. However the Fairy Tail organization will not show up.
P.S. From here on out the chapters are probably going to get longer as the meat of the story begins in this chapter. Please enjoy

Chapter 4: Decision Time
Just as Tsukune had suspected school was hell today. All morning he had been avoiding everyone as best he possibly could because he knew that Moka wasn't bluffing when she said she'd get the other girls involved. And whenever one of the girls found him he would be put on the spot and questioned about why Moka had started this. He gave a sigh of relief when the lunch bell rang and he could make his way to Sora's classroom to discuss his issue. He completely forgot however that Ruby would be there as well.
"Sendo-sensei" Tsukune called out as he made his way into the nearly empty classroom.
"Mr. Aono, what a pleasure to see you here so early. You do no that your English class isn't until last period right?" Sora jokingly questioned.
"Sorry sir, but I have a real problem and need to discuss it with you" Tsukune replied ignoring the joking tone that had been used.
"Well then take a seat and let's see if I can help you" Sora said beckoning to one of the available chairs.
"Well I'm having issues with the fact that I'm being forced to choose one of the girls who I'm friends with as my special someone." Tsukune said as he sat down.
"..." was the response he got from Sora.
"Hello, Sora? Are you alright?" Tsukune asked as he noticed that his teacher had just shut down after he had asked the question.
"Sorry, I totally spaced out when you asked me that question" Sora finally responded. "I am not that good at helping people with relationships and I kind of shut down when they're brought up" he stated his strained smile proving his point.
"Oh, Tsukune I didn't know you'd be here as well" startled Ruby said as she walked into the classroom. "I came back with the items you had requested" she continued now focused on Sora.
Tsukune took this as a sign that Ruby probably wouldn't be pestering him about his decision. Sighing he got up and was about to head outside to eat his lunch when she spoke up.
"Don't worry about this afternoon Tsukune. I'll drag Sora along to make sure no one tries to kill you after you make your decision." Ruby said grinning.
'Dammit this is going to be a horrible afternoon' Tsukune sighed as he walked out of the classroom Sora's protests coming out of the room in perfectly fluent English.
The rest of the day went quite well despite what was looming on the horizon. Moka was unusually bubbly and Tsukune still questioned whether Yukari had made another aphrodisiac. Only later would he discover that this was how she got over nightmares. Once it came time for English class he knew that things would probably start to get quite hectic and prepared for the worst. With the midterm marks being put up today he was kind of worried to see how well he had done. As class began with another long lecture from Sora everyone could see the uneasiness in his face as he continued.
Yukari muttering a spell silently caused a bucket full of ice cold water to appear and dump its contents onto Sora. This caused the entire class to burst into laughter at the sight of their now (literally) steaming teacher who had just been soaked to the bone by the sheer amount of water within the bucket. He quickly got up from his seat and headed into his office at the back of the class and stayed there for a few minutes. Once he reappeared the entire class noticed that he was completely dry.
"Miss Sendo" the irritated man said glaring at his younger sister. "I will need to confiscate your wand for the duration of the class."
Walking over to Yukari he took her wand and went back to the front of the class and resumed his lecture. Silently Yukari gave a sigh of relief as she saw her brother's uneasiness fade away. Class went smoothly after that.
Upon dismissal Yukari bolted to the board where the midterm results were posted and a massive grin spread across her face.
"Number one again" she said triumphantly as she walked away from the board the grin still plastered on her face.
"Oh no" Kurumu cried. "I have to take make up exams again. This really sucks."
"Wow that's pretty good." Moka said upon looking at her placement.
Nervous beyond all belief Tsukune walked to the board and took a look. "I'm within the top ten in every subject this time round" he said completely shocked. 'I'm going to have to thank Sora for all those cram sessions we had' he thought after looking at his marks.
Moka and the others came over and saw what caused Tsukune's shocked reaction.
"Tsukune that's amazing. I've never seen you get that high up in the ratings before" she said genuinely pleased by his amazing ranking.
"How did you get so high up in the rankings?" Kurumu asked intrigued by the sudden surge in Tsukune's academics.
"Well I don't really feel like revealing my source" Tsukune said as a sly grin spread across his face.
"Okay enough with the test marks lets move onto what's really important." Mizore said as she popped up from behind a bush.
With that being said Tsukune felt himself suddenly being dragged away from the board and into the woods. 'This is not going to end well' he mumbled as they continued to drag him deeper and deeper in.
As they reached their destination Tsukune noticed that Ruby was already there and he could also see the tip of a dark brown boot from behind one of the further trees. 'I can't believe that she dragged Sora along' he thought. Prepping his response he could see the looks of expectancy on Kurumu, Mizore and Moka's faces and it really was starting to cause him so issues. 'Why did it have to be sprung on me now? I'm not even sure that I'm ready yet' he thought his mind beginning to wander as Yukari began to speak.
"How about Tsukune has to kiss the one he chooses" Yukari stated with a grin on her face that would probably scare anyone who didn't know her.
All of the girls looked towards Tsukune and he gave out a sigh right before Ruby spoke up.
"If this is how we're going to get a decision out of him I think that we should bring in a moderator" she said.
Tsukune noticed that this caused a twitch from the barely visible boot. 'So that's why he's here' he thought a slight frown appearing on his face.
"I don't think we need a moderator at all" he said gathering up his courage to make the decision. Well actually the decision was the easy part what was going to happen to him afterwards was what caused him to buckle. Ruby nodded in agreement as she caught onto his statement.
Tsukune now had a do-or-die attitude at this point and knew he was running out of stalling time. Having gathered all the courage he could he glanced over the four women in front of him and briefly recollected all they had been through. Yet at the end of it all he knew that Moka was the one he cared for the most. Walking over to her he stood tall and smiled before kissing her.
Inside Moka was ecstatic. She had won and Tsukune had chosen her over all the others. As she passionately returned the kiss she could hear Kurumu call out "get a room" and Mizore mumbled an "I knew that this was going to happen". As soon as they broke apart Moka noticed that Ruby had left and only the five of them were still there.
"Yay!" Yukari cheered gleefully. "Now I'm one step closer to my dream of a true threesome."
Upon hearing this both Moka and Tsukune blushed a deep crimson as the group dispersed leaving the two alone.
As they were walking back to the school building Sora couldn't help, but glance over at Ruby to see if she was alright.
"So are you alright with the decision that Tsukune made?" he asked her trying his best to hide the deep concern in his voice and to keep his aloof act going.
"Of course I'm fine. I already found someone else." Ruby replied grinning as she moved in front of him before turning around. "Are you going to try to get him into her dreams tonight?" she asked changing the subject as a smirk appeared on her lips.
"I'm going to try" Sora replied smirking as well once he caught onto what she said. As they continued back to the classroom they couldn't help, but laugh.
That night Tsukune was late meeting up with Sora and was in a panic as to whether or not he would be punished for it. Upon arrival he found Sora and Ruby sitting there talking as they waited for him.
"So are you ready to enter your girlfriend's dreams?" Sora asked with a smirk on his face.
"Sure I'm ready to actually enter a dream" Tsukune answered completely missing the innuendo that had just been stated.
"Okay then lets get started" Sora said as his smirk was replaced with a grin.
With Ruby standing guard the two of them allowed the energy to enter in and they stepped into the gateway that would lead to Moka's dreams.
"Before I forget" Sora began telling Tsukune. "Normally you would wear something to hide your identity, but tonight I'm going to let that slide as she'll probably be dreaming of you anyway." Grinning he stepped through and Tsukune followed.
"Please be safe...both of you" Ruby whispered as they disappeared from sight.
Pure ecstasy that was all she felt as she walked through the halls of the school. No one could harm her or ruin her mood as she continued to head towards the clubroom. Upon reaching the room she saw that Tsukune was the only one there and he was talking with the man in the cowboy hat.
"You two know each other?" she asked as a look of suspicion appeared in her eyes.
"I just saw him in here as I was waiting for you" Tsukune answered giving her a large grin.
She took this as the truth and let him off the hook. Walking over to stand beside him she could feel the warmth of his body and decided to lean into him. Thankfully he didn't flinch at this action and so she relaxed herself.
"So is there any particular reason you showed up here?" she asked the cowboy.
"Yes my protégé has been running through dreams recently and I need to catch him before he does any real harm" he answered.
She had just realised that as the cowboy began to speak Tsukune's body had stiffened for a second before relaxing once again.
"What's wrong Tsukune?" she asked him.
"Oh there's nothing wrong..." he replied. "I just felt a chill go through my body for a second. She nodded and then turned back to the cowboy.
"So is your student here?" she asked him giving a glare that told him if he made a single step closer to the two of them he would be dead.
"Nope, he's not here so I'll just be on my way" he said before stepping out the window and disappearing.
Moka snuggled in tighter to Tsukune, quite thankful that she was not having another nightmare. Just as she turned to kiss him an annoying ringing sound began.
Groggily opening her eyes Moka smacked her alarm off before she lay down watching the ceiling and thinking about the wonderful dream she just had.
Earlier that night a young woman with emerald hair came onto the campus grounds.
"So this is where Miss Akashiya is" she stated all the while cackling like a maniac. "I can't wait to continue our game from before."
With that she transformed into a rat and scurried onto the campus grounds.
End Chapter 4
A/N: So what do you think of chapter 4. As I stated at the top this is where the meat of the story begins. I have had Tsukune confess to Moka now so that it's out of the way and the plot can develop a full relationship instead of a budding one. The next chapter will begin to delve into the special power that Moka has and will begin to build up the conflict. Oh and personally I have to say that Ruby is my favourite of the girls so that's why she'll play a very deep role in this trilogy. It's not as deep as the roles of Tsukune and Moka, but it's still pretty darn important to the plot progression. Now please review and let me know what you think about this story. I greatly appreciate the reviews I've already garnered as well as all the story update alerts. It makes me feel great to know that people are enjoying the story.
Talk to you again in Chapter 5.
