When witches begin their training they are normally told one fact to encourage them: witchcraft in all of its forms has unlimited potential and has always been nearly infinite in its uses.
It was a fun fact Yukari Sendo was blatantly displaying as she made her way to the first in a set of goals. Her first transformation, only hours ago, was simply to age her body. There was no point in helping Tsukune make a magical meat sandwich with him on top if she had the body of a thirteen year old to enjoy it with.
Her perverse thoughts were derailed as she nearly tripped upon air as she stalked the halls towards her target, "Stupid body, too big to use right..." the older yet, mentally little witch muttered she moved. Yukari had to watch her balance in her eighteen year old form, one that while much more appealing, was one that she wasn't capable of using to its greatest abilities yet. "I need to hurry up or the compounded effect won't take hold!"
A silencing spell on her shoes allowed her to walk normally over the tile floor hallway of the girls dorms without making a sound. A light bending charm, given a little extra power, worked to shield the sneaking witch from anyone's eyes. Finally, a minor corrosion curse was all it took for Yukari to gain access to the Succubus' personal area.
Yukari smiled with glee as she looked over the sleeping form of Kurumu Korono, a small steak knife was in the no-longer-little witch's hand. "I can't believe that all it took was a sleeping charm."
Yukari made a thin cut along Kurumu's arm, just enough to draw blood. As the wound wept its crimson elixir, the transformed witch held a small cauldron filled with a murky brown potion. The drops of blood entered Yukari's mixture, the potion itself turning to the color of blood. "Perfect!" Yukari thought, excited, "The first stage is complete!"
Yukari left the room with haste, covering up any evidence of her being there. A healing charm on Kurumu's cut and a simple repair spell to fix the lock and all signs were removed. Treasure in hand, Yukari ran for her room, careful to not spill a drop of the enhanced potion.
As Yukari crossed the threshold to her room she cast another series of enchantments, careful to not upset the web of spells she already had running over the walls and floor of her room. A locking spell and reinforcement charm barricaded the door from intrusions, a silencing field was applied over the room. Lastly, Yukari hit her windows with another reinforcement charm just in case.
Her final preparations made, Yukari undressed, carefully leaving her alchemic concoction sitting perfectly in the middle of her arcane array. Yukari gazed at her reflection on a small mirror on her desk. "I can't wait!" She thought with a childish giggle. "If this much made me like this, then when it's finished Tsukune won't even think of another girl!"
Yukari grabbed the goblet sized cauldron and began to gulp down the foul tasting concoction within. "Oh god it tastes like zombie sweat!" Yukari complained as she continued to chug. The mixture was chunky, like a half melted cookie dough milkshake and combined with its taste was a very terrible thing to swallow.
Yukari could already feel her flesh change as she finished swallowing and collapsed from the strain she felt growing inside her. The mixture effected her magic, giving her several times her natural power in an instant. Then, guided by Yukari's will, the magic began to change her.
The aging spell was absorbed by the transformation, extending it as it became part of the changes. Next came the musculature, each tendon and muscle becoming its peak form and holding. The arms and legs lengthened, forcing Yukari's small stature to make her even with taller girls like Moka. Then came the features, each becoming what the witch wanted. Perfect.
With a groan the witch sat up from her position on the floor. Yukari's eyes wandered over her new form. Her boring short brown hair had turned shoulder length, and became more silk-like with streaks of red. Her body no longer resembled a ten year old on the precipice of puberty, instead it was older, the form of a girl closer to sixteen or seventeen. Her new body was lithe and athletic, with modest yet firm B-cup breasts. Her legs were long, thin thighs and a perky butt. Unlike her childish form, Yukari's new body was rippling with peak perfection and womanly allure. Each feature on her magically designed body met Yukari's perception of beauty and kept it at a pristine point.
Yukari was giddy with joy, "When the ritual is done, this is gonna last forever!" she cheered, barely containing herself from jumping around in her overload of excitement, "Tsukune won't take his eyes off me!" she declared with her own saucy smile.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
As the final bell for class that day rang out Tsukune fell out of his seat, waking up from his end of class daydreams with a painful thump. The prior night Tsukune had tossed and turned in bed, the feeling that something was watching him from the dark had made sleep impossible.
Moka was at his side in an instant, Hanako and Kurumu beside her looking at the shapeshifter with concern. "Are you okay Tsukune?" Moka asked, "That looked like it really hurt."
Tsukune shook his head trying to dislodge the sleep starting cobwebs from his head. "I'm okay... I just didn't get much sleep last night."
Moka immediately looked at Kurumu with a questioning gaze. The bluenette shook her head in denial. "I didn't do anything." she stated, before looking thoughtful. "That is a good idea tho..." she murmured "I should start visiting Tsukune in his dreams again..."
Moka frowned, Hanako looked at Kurumu in disbelief, and Tsukune tried to stem a nosebleed he felt coming on as he remembered what almost happened the last time Kurumu visited him in dreamland. "Parents having sex. Parents having sex. Parents having sex. " Tsukune chanted in his head, trying to stop the arousal.
Kurumu leaned over, giving Tsukune a view of her cleavage that would cause PETA to start petitioning for animal genocide to see a photo of. "Do you want to see me in your dreams Tsukune?" she asked coyly, not even needing to use a seductive tone to imply what she was really asking.
Tsukune's nose started dripping blood as his mind flooded with memories that could purge erectile dysfunction from the planet. Despite the lack of sleep and blood loss Tsukune resisted the urge to nod. He could feel Moka's vampire energy leaking out, a clear sign she was angry.
"Kurumu!" Moka said warningly, "Back off. Tsukune doesn't like you hanging over him like some sort of slut."
Kurumu gave Moka a venomous look in return. "Tsukune enjoys it when I flirt with him." Kurumu stated, "It makes him feel good to know that he's desired."
Hanako looked at the boy wedged between the two. "Um...Can't the two of you just ask Tsukune?"
Tsukune just sighed, knowing that he would never get in a word edgewise when they were in the beginnings of a cat fight. "Thanks for the help Hanako, but that won't help. Neither of them will listen."
Hanako looked at Tsukune, curious as to why he was so accepting of his friend's behavior. "Your okay with them fighting?"
"Not at all." Tsukune stated, "However it won't help if I get in the way. They might be fighting over me, but they don't listen to me either."
Hanako stared at Tsukune, disbelieving.
"I know. It makes no sense, but this is the dozenth time they have done it." Tsukune explained. "Eventually something will piss them off, like Moka mentioning that I have a date with her-"
Kurumu heard the forbidden combination of words and spun in place to face Tsukune, "You have a date with Moka!?" she questioned with an emotional pout, annoyed with the knowledge that her rival won a date before her. "When were you going to tell me that?"
"...I don't suppose you would let me get away with not answering?" Tsukune cautiously tried, hoping to prevent hurt feelings.
Kurumu glared at him, the action informing him just how upset she was feeling.
Tsukune sighed, looking at his hands. "I know I said before that I want to get to know a girl before I begin to date her. That's what this is going to be. Okay?" Tsukune scratched at a nervous itch growing behind his right ear, still preventing himself from looking at Kurumu. "I know it's a shitty thing to do after telling you I didn't want to date anyone right now..."
Tsukune found a soft hand raising his head to look the succubus in the face. Kurumu looked amused, but not unhappy. "Fine." she stated, "but then to be fair you owe me a date too."
"I can do that." Tsukune said, glad to have disarmed the emotional bomb.
"Good. It's a date." Kurumu leaned in and sealed the deal with a searing kiss that numbed Tsukune's brain once again. The kiss spawned a new debate between the love rivals, each bickering that they were better for Tsukune.
Hanako ignored the childish argument in favor of asking Tsukune an important question. "What do those two see in you?"
"I have no idea..." Tsukune said in a daze.
"So...Which one do you want to date?" Hanako asked with genuine innocent curiosity.
…
There was a moment of silence as the world froze, just as the words left the ghost girl's mouth. For one brief moment, Tsukune hoped, begged, and pleaded with any divine force listening that the neither Moka, nor Kurumu heard the words pass Hanako's lips. That would have required a more benevolent maker than the one in charge of Tsukune's story.
Both girls ceased their arguments, their heads calmly turning to the boy they both liked.
"Shit! Shit! Shit! Damn you Hanako!" Tsukune cursed in his mind, "How do I get out of this without starting a war?"
Tsukune leapt up at the girls, wrapping his arms around them so that their arms were at their sides for his next act. Both girls were too surprised by the move to react. With the courage of a man who held a lion by its balls Tsukune quickly kissed Moka then Kurumu, silencing their protests.
"Your both great girls, great friends, and any guy would be lucky to date you. I know both of you want an answer to Hanako's question but I don't have one right now." Tsukune kissed them both on the cheek to reinforce his point. "I'll meet you both later at the cooking club."
Tsukune let the stunned girls go, leaving the class with haste.
Hanako giggled at the look on her friends faces. "Are you two okay?"
Moka nodded, Kurumu grinned.
Hanako giggled again, a cute noise rarely heard because of her shyness. "Y-you two have it so b-bad." she stuttered with a teasing smile. "I wonder if I'll ever find a guy like that..."
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
The bell ringing was the signal a perverted witch had been waiting all day for.
She had skipped class, using the time to get used to her new body. Instead of sitting in a classroom dealing with angry glares and stupid questions, Yukari had set up a waiting spot on the roof of the boy's dorm and began to practice with her new magical power to waste the time.
"I love it when things go my way." Yukari thought as she lay in wait for her target, floating in the air above the boy's dorms for the best view. Yukari's enhanced eyes followed Tsukune the moment he walked into her sight range. "I better call up some help for dealing with the sluts." Yukari reasoned, focusing on her joy as her desires were fulfilled, she called upon her magnified magic.
"Sin, zin, zac, nac, evoi!" the witch chanted, with glee "Come to my aid, and fulfill your contract! Trinitas Tenebris!"
Yukari felt a strong tug on her magic as the summoning offering was accepted. From the shade of her clothes they emerged, three featureless rods that were blacker than a moonless night. The three rods floated around Yukari as they formed from any of the nearby shadows, the surrounding light dulling as it was nullified from existence by the power of the magical staves.
"Excellent, the family magic did work..." Yukari caressed a floating staff with a finger touch of her fingers, she could feel her magic resonate as it made contact with the arcane device. "Mom is not gonna be happy I called on grandma's wand..." the transformed witch shrugged. It was a problem to deal with later.
The ascended Ms. Sendo returned her gaze to the man who had stolen her heart, expecting to see him dealing with the unwanted advances of a vampire and succubus. Tsukune was still alone, a fact that could not make witch happier. Yukari smiled, "No sign of the man-stealer or cow tits? This will be easy!" the ebony rods spun and floated around Yukari, moving with the emotion of their new master. The witch grabbed one in her hand. "Lack light, lack sight." she said, whispering her incantation, "Invisibility illusion!"
The spell took effect, amplified by the conjured rods of darkness. To any observer Yukari's body and features faded from view like rain water running down a window.
Unaware of the danger stalking him, Tsukune continued to his room unperturbed. His thoughts were wrapped up in the dilemma he found himself in. "I really don't wanna pick anyone." He sulked, "Its not fair, whomever I choose is gonna get hurt. I don't wanna lose either of them as friends."
The walk to his room felt depressing as the situation weighed heavily upon him. He entered the room without a care, rubbing his eyes to relieve his stress. He tossed himself onto his bed expecting to feel the comfort of springs and sheets, not the feel of a warm body in his bed.
"A little rough for our second meeting isn't it Tsukune?" a voice coyly asked.
Tsukune leapt to his feet expecting another seduction attempt from Kurumu. His mind froze at the sight of a fantastically fit brunette with red highlights looking at him with a set of passionate purple eyes. The maiden in question was smiling flirtatiously, playing with her hair as she looked at him with unconcealed desire.
"Who are you?" Tsukune asked, befuddled. An odd dullness began to seep into Tsukune's head. It was as if he was falling asleep.
The girl smiled, "It's no surprise you don't recognize me darling. So much has happened since we met yesterday." She stood up wrapping her arms around the boy. A scent of various spices flowed over Tsukune, further adding to his dulled state. "I missed you last night Tsukune..." she cooed, "The evening would have been so much better if you had gone on our date instead of flirting with that vampire."
Even on the edge of succumbing to an enchantment Tsukune's brain had enough strength to recognize what was happening. "Yukari!"
The hypnotizing goddess giggled. Pleased, she wrapped her arms around the weakening shapeshifter. "I'm so glad you remember me Tsukune." she teased, "Did I make that good of an impression?"
Tsukune stumbled in place, his body failing to stand under his own power. Cheerful as ever, Yukari lowered him to his bed. "What..." Tsukune struggled to speak, his mind begging to fall into the sleeping stupor that threatened to take over. "What did you do to me?" he asked.
"Nothing much my love." Yukari assured him, "It's just a mixture of magical herbs, they will let you sleep while I work on the next stage of the ritual. I can't have you running off to get help from your friends can I?"
"W-what... ritual?"
Yukari wagged a dainty finger in his face. "Uh-uh." she chastised, "That would be telling. I'll let you know when its over." Yukari gave him a chaste kiss on the cheek, "Sleep." she commanded, waving a set of yellow leaves under his nose.
Tsukune was out like a light.
"Now to dose myself with the seduction potion..." Yukari's black rods emerged from the floor like a specter beginning its haunting. Between the trio of rods was another medieval cup nearly filled to the brim with a lime green concoction. A knife materialized in Yukari's hand, and was quickly used to make a cut in Tsukune's arm.
With Tsukune's blood added to the mixture, the new potion turned into a bubbling mass of gun metal gray sludge. "Why can't any of these potions look good and taste good?" Yukari complained aloud, gulping it down quickly. As before the taste was abhorrent, the smell just as bad, thankfully this time the consistency was as smooth as water.
The magical mixture took effect immediately, Yukari's magic swirled around her, unseen by unenchanted eyes. She shuddered and twitched as her body adjusted to the liquid spell, but there was no other sign of the potion taking effect. "I kinda expected more than that..." Yukari thought, unsatisfied by the minor display.
Yukari pulled out a spell book and browsed her notes on the potion she had just ingested. The instructions for the potion were clear. "I just need to wait a bit for the magic to mark him, then I can control him."
"Let's give this a try." Yukari commented aloud, done waiting. "Wake up Tsukune."
The boy sat up, eyes wide awake, an eager smile on his face. He looked like a puppy ready to greet its master for the day. "What do you need beloved?" Tsukune asked, his eyes blank when compared to his excited smile.
Yukari clapped a smile painted on her face. "Excellent! It did work!"
Tsukune smiled at Yukari, wrapping his arms around her, the light still didn't reach his eyes. "Of course it worked, your a brilliant young woman." Tsukune complemented.
Yukari blushed, enjoying the attention even if it was fake. "Oh wow...this is better than I hoped..."
Tsukune leaned in, capturing the witch's lips with a charm of his own. Yukari kissed back, matching everything Tsukune give with equal passion. The two eventually separated for air. "Come on Tsukune. Let's go to the cooking club." Yukari commanded, "I want to show off my new boyfriend."
"Nothing would make me happier." Tsukune replied with a smile, as his soul screamed at the lie.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Moka and Kurumu were still on cloud nine as they waited for Tsukune in the baking club. While other girls and guys in the room were chatting about school life or personal things, the two were simply sitting in place with silly grins on their face. Hanako would have been bored to tears if she didn't secretly find it so amusing.
That serene moment came crashing down as Tsukune entered the room... with an unknown woman hanging on his arm.
Kurumu noticed first, her eyes watching the sappy mood between her love and the new girl. "Tsukune? Who is she?"
Tsukune's next words were like the verbal equivalent of an oil spill disaster during a hurricane. "Guys, this is my girlfriend Yukari."
"G-Girlfriend?" Kurumu stuttered in disbelief, "When did you get a girlfriend? Better yet, why her?"
Moka's reaction was more violent, launching to her feet, knocking over several spices as she slammed her hands a cutting board with enough force to crack the plastic. "That is not Yukari!" Moka insisted, pointing at the intruder, "and even if she was you told me yourself that Yukari was not your girlfriend!"
The lady at Tsukune's side scowled, an expression that Tsukune matched. "Your just jealous that Tsukune chose me over you after all." Yukari spat, "Get a clue vampire. Tsukune never wanted anything to do with you!"
If looks could kill Moka would have just learned how to end the world with a glare. Even with her new-found power Yukari took a step back out of fear. As Yukari moved away from the infuriated vampire, Hanako stared at Tsukune in perplexed confusion, "There's something wrong with his eyes..." the Onryō thought, her own monster abilities reacting to Tsukune's presence.
Tsukune took a step forward, moving Yukari behind him to shield her from Moka's hostility. "Can't you two be happy for me?" Tsukune asked, "We can still be friends, this wont change a thing."
Yukari disagreed, "No you can't! I don't want either of those mean girls around you." she stated, hugging Tsukune from behind.
"Sorry Moka, We can't be friends." Tsukune agreed instantly.
Moka's eyes widened, "Something's wrong here!" Moka's anger came back full force. "What did you do to him witch?"
"Uh-oh...busted..." Yukari tugged at Tsukune's arm, "Come on Tsukune, lets see if you can still join something besides the cooking club."
Kurumu watched the two depart her face still the picture of disbelief. She turned to face Moka, hoping the vampire would have an explanation, "What the hell? I'd swear he was under a succubus' spell if you hadn't said that girl was a witch."
Hanako clapped a hand to her mouth, gasping in surprise. "It's a curse!" she blurted out.
Moka and Kurumu were facing her in an instant, ignoring the chatter of the surrounding students. "What do you mean 'curse'?" Moka questioned, still infuriated.
"I-I recognized what happened to T...Tsukune. That w-witch must have c-cursed him..." Hanako explained softly, stuttering heavily. Moka was really scary when pissed off, something that did not help Hanako's shy nature.
Understandably all three were pissed. "I'm gonna break her little neck!" Kurumu insisted, ready to transform and rip the witch apart. "How dare she do that to Tsukune!"
Moka was more reserved, but her aura was saturating the room with anger. "Hanako, how can we break the spell?"
"I...I can do it..." Hanako replied, unnerved by Moka's calm fury.
"Good." Moka nodded with a smile that promised suffering, "Let's go witch hunting."
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Yukari was cursing up a storm, rushing along the corridors of the Academy, her brainwashed pet following loyally. "Crap, crap, crap! I just had to show off! Now those two sluts are gonna try to get in my way!"
Tsukune frowned, Yukari was upset and that needed to be fixed. "My love, is there something wrong?" he asked, concerned for her well being.
Yukari smiled at the question, ignoring that the concern wasn't real. "Let's go to the lake and relax." she suggested.
Tsukune kneeled down before her like a knight to a princess, "Allow me to carry you?" he asked with a smile that still would not reach his eye.
Yukari hopped on his back, only to be surprised as he didn't rise immediately. "Hold on tightly, this might be awkward for a second."
"Wha-?"
Tsukune's skin lit up with fire, scorching away his clothes. In an instant the flames extinguished and his skin began to cover in the brown liquid mass that signified one of his more extreme transformations. He froze in place as the material hardened, Yukari still mounted on his back.
"Tsukune what are you doing?" the witch asked amazed.
Tsukune's cocoon was not made from the brown mass that she had heard about, instead it looked like fossilized amber. It was almost transparent, and she could see something moving within.
"Tsukune?" Yukari questioned again, lightly knocking on the crystal like material beneath her.
The cocoon cracked, and hissed as steam vented out. Suddenly Yukari felt herself airborne as Tsukune emerged from his shell with an unnatural shriek. The newly formed beast moved underneath her as it fell, slipping its back between Yukari's thighs for a quick mount landing. The witch landed, the impact between her legs was not so soft however. She felt a sharp pain as the rough impact tore something inside her. The pain caused Yukari to slump over.
Tsukune noticed as his love bent over from pain. He turned his lizard-like head around to look at her. Seeing her hurt made him want to ease her pain, and he rubbed his new face against her to show affection in the only way he could in his current form.
Tsukune's comforting nuzzling got Yukari's attention. She examined her steed with amused amazement.
Tsukune's new form was definitely a lizard, but after that the description was not enough to describe it. The newest form had a large whip like tail that ended with three spikes of bone extending from the tip. Unlike any natural reptile, the lizard form only had two legs, each dog like and thicker than a tree branch. More spikes of bone covered Tsukune's grayish brown flesh in a macabre combination of decoration and defense.
Yukari looked at her pet with pride filled affection, "Just how many transformations do you have Mr. Aono?" she asked teasingly, shifting in place to be more comfortable. "You are such a show off."
The Lizard shrugged, an impressive feat when you considered that it might not have shoulders.
"To the lake my valiant steed!" Yukari commanded dramatically, pointing to their destination. Tsukune launched himself like a rocket, his powerful legs digging small gaps in the earth as he ran.
On Tsukune's back, Yukari giggled and grinned enjoying the ride as her boyfriend carried her at a break neck pace. Students watched as they ran past, many openly wondering who the two were. It wasn't often that a student would flaunt a monster form so openly, something made weirder by the fact that the monster in question looked like a spiky half breed cross between a Naga and a Dragon.
When they arrived the lake was clear, pristine, and sparking in the afternoon sunlight. There were very few students walking the wood shaded paths surrounding the body of water, most of them preferring the privacy of the dorms or entertainment offered at the club rooms to the tranquil beauty of nature. All of these facts were ignored by Yukari as she watched Tsukune resume his human form.
Completely naked.
The little witch in an older body openly gawked at the male form before her. Every detail of Tsukune's human form was chiseled into Yukari's memory as she fought the urge to drool."That is so not normal, and I don't care."
Tsukune's base form was average height and size for a teen his age, but nothing else about him could be considered average. There was not an inch of fat on his body, exposing a set of unnatural musculature that belonged on an adult bodybuilder rather than a high school student. Tsukune had a swimmer's build, but each muscle looked to be in pristine condition, as if he spent every waking moment dedicated to achieving a muscle based perfection.
Yukari's age showed when she looked at an obvious sign of Tsukune's gender. "I have to put that inside my..." Yukari's face could not get any brighter, enough blood was rushing to her head it was a surprise that she hadn't lost consciousness. "I don't think I can do this..." The Witch clapped her face a few times to gather herself and excuse the blush. Doubt was creeping into her head, second thoughts that told her she was wrong and needed to stop. "No! I can't go back to being little now! If I want to keep my new body I need Tsukune to pop my cherry!"
Even under the effects of magical drugs Tsukune shuddered.
Yukari looked at her freshly forged boyfriend with trepidation. Like all beings that hit touched the terrible burden of puberty, she had fantasies of a sexual nature. Cardinal desires that left her awake at night. Now faced with the means of relieving that hormone driven itch Yukari found a new problem. The idea of completing the bedroom samba with Tsukune terrified her. "I have to keep him! I have to make him love me!"
The witch looked at Tsukune again, trying to keep her eyes politely above the waistline. "I really, really don't think I can do this." she thought, depressed by the fact.
Tsukune noticed her discomfort. Without concern for his state of dress or the reaction it might have upon his companion he pulled her into a hug. "Don't worry about whatever is worrying you my love." He said, "I'm here for you."
It was a little much for Yukari, a case of the wrong thing said at the right time. "If I can't do this, I'll turn back and you won't love me..." she moped. "If you don't love me, you won't stay. And if you don't stay - I'll be alone again." she sniffed, a trace of tears forming in her eyes. "I don't wanna be alone anymore. I hate it here."
"I'm here for you Yukari." Tsukune said kindly, rubbing her back. "I'm not going anywhere." he assured her.
A few tears started dripping down the emotionally exhausted thirteen year old in a seventeen year old body. "You don't mean that. It's just the potion talking."
Tsukune frowned, "Maybe it is just a potion." he admitted, "Or maybe I do want to be your friend."
Now that the dam had broke, Yukari was determined to be miserable. She pushed her shapeshifting companion away so she could wipe away her tears. "You're just saying that because the potion is making you."
"I am certain that if I wasn't on the potion I would smack you for being stupid." Tsukune stated with a deadpan expression.
"See? Your mad at me." Yukari pointed out.
"I'm upset that you don't think we can be friends." Tsukune countered, "You forget, I saved you from those jackasses without being prompted. Right?"
Yukari frowned, conceding the point. "Fine, but you were going to go out with that vampire! You had a date with me!"
"I didn't say it was a date, you did." Tsukune pointed out, "We were supposed to hang out for the first time, but then you got mad that I asked Moka out."
Yukari felt her conscience frown at her, "I guess I did overdo it a little..." she pouted. "It's not fair. I came here and everyone was just so mean, then you come and your just so great!"
Yukari took a seat by the waterfront, using a large rock for a bench. "I just wanted someone to be nice to me. Is that so bad?" she muttered, now thoroughly depressed.
Tsukune sat beside her, wrapping an arm around the moping witch. "Wanting people to care isn't a bad thing." Tsukune replied honestly, "I just think it's the way you went about it."
Yukari lowered her head in shame. "I know what I did was wrong. Mama always told me that we shouldn't use negative feelings to cast spells, but I didn't listen."
"Negative emotions?"
"When a witch wants to use magic, we need three things. First is a focus, like a wand or staff. Second is an incantation, something to guide how the magic forms. Finally, we need an emotion to power the spell. The stronger you feel the stronger the spell."
"So when you say negative emotions?"
"I was casting a lot of dark spells after I got upset yesterday." Yukari admitted, "I was casting and feeling jealous. Something Mama always told me was a bad idea."
"Your not cursed or anything are you?" Tsukune asked with concern.
"I didn't do anything bad enough for that. All I got was some bad luck and poor judgment."
"So you got drunk on dark magic?"
Yukari let out a bitter laugh, "Yeah I guess you could say that." she said dryly. "I just didn't want to lose you..."
"Why me? I'm nothing special."
Yukari's laugh was louder than before and just as biting. "You really have no idea do you?" she asked, looking at his enchanted eyes. "Nobody is ever nice to witches. All monsters see us as human trash, and humans that learn our secret either fear us or try to use our magic to fix their greedy needs. You were the first one to be nice to me since I came here. Even the teacher looked down on me."
"Really? Why?"
"I'm a thirteen year old witch. My old teachers called me a prodigy when I came to Yokai Academy. So when my classmates learned about it, they disliked me. Being a witch was bad enough, getting beaten by a girl younger than them was just insulting..."
Tsukune realized something, "I have a question..."
"Yeah?"
"Why am I asking you all of this? I thought you had me under some sort of brainwashing potion."
Yukari sighed, "It's a seduction potion. It just makes you love me as long as I am nearby. It also makes you obey any command I give you, but it only lasts so long. I think when you transformed you got rid of some of it from your body... I was hoping to make it permanent."
"How?"
"The Ritual." The witch explained, "If you sleep with me before the potion effects wear off, I will keep this older body and you'll love me forever."
The couple were both had cherry red faces as the awkwardness of the conversation went up another notch. "So, why, I mean, why haven't you made me..."
Yukari turned away, she couldn't face him an answer or she was certain she would die of shame. "I'm scared." she mumbled.
"The idea scares me too." Tsukune admitted.
"Really?" Yukari blurted out in surprise. "I thought you were sleeping with Kurumu and Moka?"
"Where did you hear that?" Tsukune questioned, bewildered.
"Everyone in school thinks so. Everyone knows you killed Saizou Komiya for threatening Moka, and a bunch of guys have seen Kurumu flying in and out of your dorm room window at odd hours."
"Aw, Jeez." Tsukune groaned, embarrassed, "I don't know why everyone cares..."
"So why are you scared of sex?" Yukari asked, confused. "You don't have a disease or anything do you?"
Tsukune couldn't help it, the ironic question made him laugh.
"You could just say yes or no!" Yukari stated, flustered, "You don't have to be mean and laugh!"
Tsukune calmed himself with monumental effort, "No, it's not that." A few more chuckles escaped, "It's just what you said."
"What's so funny about a disease?" Yukari wondered, now baffled.
"It has to do with my monster form, you see I'm a-"
"Fucking Witch!"
A solid kick caught Yukari by surprise lifting her from her seat and tossing her into the water. Tsukune grabbed the offending leg with a vice grip a second after the impact and slammed the owner to the ground with enough force to dent the soil beneath them.
Kurumu looked at him with pained surprise, a look exceeding fury stared back at her. The magic behind the potion may have dulled, but it was still in effect. Someone had just hurt the woman he loved and naked or not, mismatched or not, Tsukune was going to get his pound of flesh in retribution.
Tsukune was already undergoing the first stages of his transformations, multiple eyes peeking out from behind tears in the skin of his forehead. "I'm gonna kill you!" He screamed, slamming his fists down in a brutal hammer blow.
Kurumu's savors blocked the potentially fatal strike with their vampiric and supernatural strength, "Snap out of it Tsukune!" Moka pleaded, forcing him away. Kurumu scrambled to her feet assisted by Hanako. The Onryō helped Kurumu limp away.
Tsukune growled, his fangs extending in response to his growing fury. "Get out of my way Moka!" he demanded with rage, "That bitch hurt Yukari!"
Moka held up her hands trying to stop the aggression from getting worse. A battle at a lake could be a potentially lethal encounter to a bound vampire. "Tsukune please wait! Yukari is controlling you!"
"I know that!" Tsukune spat with hatred, wildly backhanding her out of the way. "I don't care!"
Tsukune's blow caught Moka just beneath the collar, slamming the Rosario and tearing it off as the force of the impact knocked her down.
Yukari stood up in the shallow water in time to watch Moka transform, her cute and innocent appearance becoming the stuff of unnatural nightmares. "Oh no!"
"Snap out of it you weakling!" Moka demanded harshly, charging forward before Tsukune could strike at the succubus. The silver haired Moka's crossed the distance between them in an instant, driving her fist into the shapeshifter's back with enough force to launch him away. Tsukune landed in a heap, only to twist about and regain his footing in the same movement.
"Why are you in my way!?" Tsukune demanded, his fury fueling the arcane concoction inside him.
"You are not yourself Tsukune Aono. For that I will forgive some of your transgressions. However, you have upset the other me, and that is something I am prepared to forgive." She dashed forward, intending to slam another fist into him and drive the point home.
Tsukune was prepared for the move, the barriers of bone covering both arms cracked under the strike when he blocked. Tsukune countered, leaping up and lashing out with both feet at once, the unorthodox blow slamming into Moka's breasts and forcing her back a second time.
"I'm gonna enjoy tearing you apart vampire!" Tsukune hissed, a mad look forming on his face. His body began steaming, the bone armor along his arms knitting together faster than had been seen before. This time Tsukune charged, his right hand cocked back for a powerful blow.
"A five year old could see that coming!" The transformed Moka thought arrogantly.
She blocked the right-handed strike easily, only to get caught off guard as Tsukune spun in place to kick out her knees. The silver haired Vampire fell to the soft muddy dirt, surprised to be knocked down so easily. Tsukune was on her in an instant, fangs extended.
The furious vampire tried to punch him away, only for Tsukune to grab the arm and bite. Still watching the struggle, Hanako and Kurumu gasped in surprise. "He's going to feed on her?"Kurumu thought in a panic, she cradled her chest still cripplingly sore from the impact. Hanako stood beside her, hoping to protect her friend from any potential threat by the rampaging Tsukune.
Moka felt weakness in the penetrated limb as her blood was stolen, the arm quickly became numb as it was depleted of blood. Momentary panic set in, and she slammed Tsukune's skull with more force than intended, Tsukune's skull cracked but didn't give. "Let go you son of a bitch!" she demanded, slamming him again.
The second blow tore flesh and bone from Tsukune's head, exposing the gray matter underneath. The magically raging monster staggered back, blood gushing from the wound. What was left of Tsukune's head showed his surprise at the fatal wound. He stumbled backwards, his balance lost as his body realized it was missing a chunk of his head. Tsukune's body collapsed into a pool of mud with a wet thud.
Yukari was shocked, her disbelief making way for grief and fury. There were very few things that caused darker emotion than the loss of someone you cared for. "Sin, zin, zac, nac, evoi!" The witch rapidly chanted, forcing her fury into the summons, "Trinitas Tenebris: Graveyard Lances!"
The rods of darkness didn't come slowly like before, the leapt from the ground like bamboo spikes undergoing years of growth at once. It was only the blessings of her Vampire blood that kept Moka from an instant and painful death, her power was not enough to save her numbed arm. The Vampire cried out as one of the black magic rods pierced her already wounded arm.
The vampire cast a murderous glance at the waterlogged witch, painfully pulling her arm from the magical trap spike. "You're going to live just long enough to regret that witch."
"You killed Tsukune!" Yukari screamed at her, calling upon more of her magic as tears began leaking from her eyes. "I'll kill you! Trinitas Tenebris: Black Iron Arrows!" The black rods warped and changed, points appearing at the tips as they faced and surrounded the wounded vampire in a triangle formation.
This time Moka cleanly dodged the attack. Kurumu noticed another threat and warned her friend, "Moka behind you!"
Tsukune was standing again, his body flaring with flame from a transformation. The silver haired Moka watched the phenomenon with amused interest. "I wonder what will it take to kill you Tsukune Aono." she questioned.
Tsukune's transformation was unlike the others. This time, rather than become cocooned in the amber material the flames subsided to reveal sections of Tsukune's body missing sections of skin, or with bloody gashes crossing over his body like a morbid living puzzle. Tsukune's number of eyes had returned to normal, as had the rest of his body. Apart from his battle scarred appearance, many would mistake him for human. Tsukune twitched and trembled, still stumbling around. "Don't. Hurt. Yukari." He demanded, his voice tainted with madness.
The crueler of the two Moka looked at Tsukune with suspicion. "His normal transformations all had some sort of combat purpose, and adapted to the environment or threat. This one looks like it will fall apart any second."
Kurumu scowled at the witch, "What kind of slut magic did you use on him?"
"It was only a seduction potion! They only last a few hours!"Yukari protested, "It was wearing off until you attacked me!"
"You shouldn't have used it on him in the first place!" Kurumu shot back.
"I wouldn't have too if you sluts wouldn't hang off him all the time!" Yukari shouted.
Tsukune spotted Kurumu upsetting Yukari and charged again. "Leave Yukari alone!" he roared.
This time Hanako was prepared. The shy girl slipped forward and pointed at Tsukune's forehead with a hellish fury burning in her exposed eye. Tsukune's charge stopped dead as the fury of a vengeful spirit was unleashed. The supernatural energies of the Onryō demanded the enchanted berserker be stopped and it was made so.
A foul paralysis struck the boy at once. His heart, lungs, and all other muscles ceased to obey as he lost all sensation. Panic ran rampant in his mind as he struggled to breathe, to move, or just to escape the terrifying sensation that had seized him. Hanako stood above him, damning him with her gaze, her hand still pointing at him like an accusation of guilt. Tsukune could see darkness creeping in to steal his vision, his mind blanking as death tried to grip him again.
Hanako lowered her fingers and the spell was broken.
Tsukune felt sensation return to his body and he wheezed, sucking in great gulps of air. Kurumu looked at her friend with relief and amazement. "That was amazing Hanako! Thank you."
Hanako nodded, the shy and mouse like look returning. "I-it was just ghost paralysis..." she muttered, embarrassed.
Moka walked over to Tsukune. "Are you yourself again, or do I need to beat that witch's poison out of you?" she asked coldly.
"S-sort of myself again." he gasped out, still sucking in air. "I think it's mostly out of my system."
"Good." She punched him in the head, "That is for biting me."
Tsukune rolled in the mud, groaning in pain. "I think I deserved that."
"No you didn't!" Yukari protested, finally marching out of the water, the black magic rods floating defensively around her. "I had you under a spell that they made worse! If anything it's their fault!"
Kurumu glared at the intruder. "If you hadn't stolen Tsukune away with slut magic I wouldn't have kicked you!"
"Stop calling it slut magic you hypocrite!" Yukari snapped.
"What do you mean by that?" Kurumu's ribs were still sore, but she could still kick the ass of a skinny witch.
"You succubi use your slutty magic charms to get the essence of the opposite sex. If any of us here have slut magic it's you!" The witch accused.
"I should kick your ass!" the succubus declared.
"Can you two please stop." Tsukune cut in, sitting up. "I can feel the potion trying to make me pissed off again when you two fight."
"M-maybe we should go somewhere and talk about this." Hanako suggested meekly.
The silver haired Moka looked at the ghost girl with faint amusement. "A good suggestion little mouse." The vicious Moka picked up her Rosario, brushing off the dirt. She locked eyes with Tsukune, amused at the bruise she left on his forehead. "I trust you will behave yourself?" she asked.
"I will try my best, Moka." he said earnestly.
The Vampire frowned, "Don't sound so familiar with me. You've done plenty in the last day to annoy me. Be thankful my other likes you so much or you would have more than a bruise." she stated, snapping the Rosario onto the collar again. Moka transformed into her pink haired state, denying Tsukune the last words. The normal Moka looked ashamed of her other self's actions, and pointedly didn't look at Tsukune.
Tsukune stood, still rubbing the bruise on his head. "I know, I look like crap."
Moka shook her head, now looking at the setting sun in the distance. "It's not that..." she stated, uncomfortable.
"Tsukune, you know your naked right?" Kurumu asked. Whatever hostility the four had shattered as they each took a moment to enjoy Tsukune's shame. Then they noticed each other looking and turned away with a flushed face and an awkward moment.
Tsukune sighed, as all four girls suddenly became interested in the scenery. Even under a partial transformation Tsukune's body appealed to them, but none of them wanted to get caught looking at the goods. "I was really, really hoping I could go at least two days without destroying my outfit." Tsukune mourned the loss of more clothes. "Can you four promise not to fight until the morning?" he asked. "I really want to eat something and go to bed."
"I-I can stop them if they try to start anything." Hanako replied.
Tsukune smiled uneasily, Hanako's powers were scarier than his own. "Good." A burst of flame erupted from his skin once again, burning off the mud. Tsukune's 'wounds' healed in seconds, the missing and broken skin returning to normal without a scar. "Now, if you excuse me I am going to streak back to my dorm and mourn the fact that I'm getting used to this."
The boy walked away, head hanging low, nakedness exposed for all to see. Each girl kept her eyes glued to the shapeshifter's backside until he left their line of sight. Without knowing it, they all had the same thought. "Nice..."
With Tsukune gone, Yukari turned her attention to the three girls that had almost murdered her over the affections of a boy. "Well at least I think we can all agree on one thing. Tsukune is awesome, a great guy with amazing features, especially what we just saw... I mean did you see the size of his huge-"
"Dick!" Hanako shouted with morbid embarrassment, before slapping a hand to her mouth with shame, "I mean Yukari!"
Yukari grinned, ice broken, "I was going to say muscles, but I like the way you think." she said cheerfully. "Maybe I won't be so alone after all."
