Authors' note/Bite-Size Monster Encyclopedia

'Ugh' thought a boy as he walked through the academy courtyard 'another new school. This place looks like a boring piece of shit. But it's one of the last places I can get into. Mmm, kicked out of six schools….'

"Hey, pip-squeak" Saizo shouted to the boy as he approached him "we have a game around here."

"And what would that be tall, white, and ugly?"

"Pick on the new guy" with a smile as he shoved him in the shoulder "and look at that you're a new guy. I guess that makes you the target."

"Call me new guy, one more time." as he glared at Saizo.

Saizo grinned "new guy."

The boy grabbed Saizo's arm and pulled so hard that he dislocated it at the shoulder, "That's a warning," he said as he looked down at Saizo who was screaming in pain "next time it'll be more than just a dislocation. And my name isn't New Guy."

"What's going on here" Algren said as he appeared from nowhere.

"Seriously" Alex said as he appeared next to Algren "this early in the morning and there's a fight… and I am not in it?"

"What happened to him" as Algren looked at Saizo.

"He started it" the boy said looking at Algren like he didn't care what happened.

"You did this to him?" Alex asked as he kicked Saizo in the gut.

"Ya" the boy said "what about it?"

"Kudos," giving him a thumb up "you just went up a notch in my book."

"Wow" Algren said as he shook his head "the asshole sensei found an asshole student."

"Sensei? What the fuck is that? Some sort of meal?" the boy said with confusion.

"The teachers" Algren said as he put one foot on Saizo's upper arm and the other in his ribs and pushed causing the shoulder to be relocated "here they're called sensei."

"Teme" Saizo screamed "that hurt!!!!!"

"I could've made it hurt worse" with an evil smile "a lot worse."

"Niisan" Yukari, with the reptilian skin purse at her side, said as she jumped on to Algren's back "morning."

"Morning imoto-shisuta," as he caught her "how'd you sleep?"

"Great," with a smile "and it's the first time I've had a room to myself."

"This filthy little" Saizo started but was stopped by Algren when he pulled Saizo's arm back out of its socket.

"I suggest you not ask that," as he pulled Saizo's arm farther out of its socket with his feet "I skinned the class president for saying that same thing."

'I'm starting to like this guy,' the boy thought to himself.

"After I pulled out his tongue; he's barely still alive, and if you don't believe me go check in the infirmary."

'Holy fuck dude. I'm really starting to like this guy.'

"Alex-kun" Kurumu, with her reptilian skin purse at her side, shouted as she ran up to him.

"Boobies" the boy said with wide eyes and a smile while staring at Kurumu's chest.

"Touch them I will remove your ability to have kids" Alex said with a dead serious look on his face.

"But they're so" with a bigger smile while starting to reach out "big, round, and bouncy."

"You really don't want to have kids do you?"

"Are you from America?" Algren asked him.

"No duh dipshit what gave it away? The accent? Or the fetish for boobies?"

"Don't swear in front of my sister," looking at the boy.

"Who's your sister?" Algren pointed to Yukari who was on his back. "Oh."

"I need to get to my classroom," Algren said as he set Yukari down "I'll see you guys around." He disappeared just as fast as he came; leaving Saizo on the ground with his shoulder still dislocated.

"He didn't even bother to relocate his arm," Kurumu asked pointing at Saizo.

"That's a first," Alex said with a slight chuckle "normally he'd relocate the joints. But then again, after he tried to say what the class president said it's no surprise."

"What's that guy's story" the boy asked.

"If you want to know," Yukari said "you ask him. He doesn't like when everyone knows his business without him telling. That's how stories get messed up."

"Ok, I will ask him" the boy started to walk off and turned around and asked "where's his classroom?"

"Kurumu-san has homeroom with Niisan," Yukari said with a slight smile "she could take you."

"Boobies" was all the boy could say.

"Not a chance in hell I'm going to let Kurumu-chan be alone with him" Alex said with a death glare.

"Homeroom," Kurumu said "we have homeroom today don't we?"

"Crap" Alex said as he smacked his forehead "now I know why Algren took off so soon."

"Where is room," as the boy dug out a piece of paper with his homeroom information on it "1-3, Mrs. Nekonome" making sure he said the name right.

"You have homeroom with Tsukune-kun and Moka-chan" Yukari said as she put her finger on her chin "I wonder where they are."

With Moka and Tsukune; "I can't believe they made me stay in the infirmary all week" Tsukune moaned as he struggled to get dressed quickly.

"Tsukune-kun," Moka said as she knocked on the door "are you ready to go?"

"Not yet Moka-chan," as he pulled his pants up and buttoned them "you can come in now."

"I'm glad they're finally letting you go back to your dorm room" as she walked into the room "don't forget your wallet" as she grabbed the reptilian skin wallet that Algren made out of the class president's skin.

"Ya," grabbing the wallet from Moka "thanks. Where did they put my shirt?"

"Here it is," Moka said as she opened the closest door seeing a fresh pressed shirt and coat on a hanger.

"Thanks Moka-chan" taking the shirt off the hanger and putting it on.

"You've gotten a lot more muscular since you started training with Algren" as she blushed looking at Tsukune's muscular torso and arms.

"Thanks," blushing too "but I started training so I can stay here with you, Moka-chan."

"I'm glad Algren is willing to train you," as she ran her finger along Tsukune's chest for the first time "how much more do you…" she fell forward on to Tsukune who caught her.

"What's wrong Moka-chan? You look a little pale."

"It's just…" blushing "you've been in here for a week now and…"

"All the nurses have been keeping a steady eye on me," with a smile "so steady that I couldn't let you have a drink."

"Sorry," biting her lip "but ever since you let me drink your blood; the transfusion blood tastes just awful."

"It's ok," leaning down a little so Moka could take a drink "you may have a drink."

"Thank you, Tsukune-kun" as she bit into his neck as gently as she could.

In Nekonome-sensei's class as she was getting to the last name on the list, "Chris Zu… Zume" as she struggled to pronounce the last name.

"It's Zumeer" as the door slid open and Chris stepped in "I got lost in this large ass school. This damn school is too fucking big."

"That's the guy that kick Saizo's ass earlier" one student said with fear behind it.

"Ya," as he walked in looking at the ground "that mother fucker was a pansy; but what that one teacher did to him was funny as hell."

"Would you watch your mouth Chris Zumeer," Nekonome-sensei asked him with a serious tone.

Chris looked at the teacher, who was wearing a spaghetti strap shirt, and said "Boobies!!" as he saw that the spaghetti strap shirt didn't cover much of her torso "big boobies!!" The class felt doom fall over them. "What? Don't tell me none of you guys haven't noticed that lovely pair." Chris said while pointing at the teachers' chest.

"Zumeer-san please don't talk like that or point at people."

"Sorry we're late Nekonome-sensei" Tsukune said as him and Moka walked into the room "the infirmary is farther away than I thought it was, and they wouldn't let me sign myself out."

"It's ok," Nekonome-sensei said as she took the note from Moka "please just don't make it a habit to be in the infirmary for a week at a time."

"Don't worry," with a slight smile "I won't."

"Please take your sets" she said to them "we have to discuss a few things before you can go to your class." The three took their seats and listened to Nekonome-sensei say "because we are now over nine weeks into the year, you will spend a day next week looking for a club to join. This will help you maintain your human forms during more difficult activities. And be sure to check out my news paper club" with a smile.

The next week

"Whoa!! There are so many different clubs to join!!" said Tsukune as he and Moka wandered around outside the school.

"What club should we join Tsukune-kun?" Moka said as they looked at each of the different clubs.

"I don't know," as he scratched his head "but I need to get with Kusu-sensei and Inazaka-sensei soon."

"Why?"

"The principle asked, well, told them that they are going to participate in a battle of the bands before any of the club events start," with a smile "and Kusu-sensei asked me to be in it."

"You play an instrument" in shock.

"Ya, bass" still smiling "Kusu-sensei taught me how to play."

"That's cool" as she grabbed his arm and hugged it "when do you need to meet up with them?"

"I still have about an hour," still walking through the different clubs' booths "so we can look around, but let's try not to get too far away from the courtyard."

"Ok," still hugging his arm.

"Tsukune" they heard "wait up."

They turned around to see Chris walking up "Hey Zumeer-san" Tsukune said "you ready for the battle?"

"Damn right," Chris said with a smile as he pushed through a group of people to get to Moka and Tsukune "I have a question."

"Shoot."

"What's the point behind the san bull shit?"

"It's to show a little more respect than just saying the person's name."

"Ok?" in confusion.

"Have you found any club that takes your interest" Moka asked Chris.

"Nope," shaking his head "none of these fucking clubs have anything that interests me at all."

"Let's try the swim club" Tsukune suggested.

"Uh," Moka said as she let go of Tsukune's arm "I don't know how to swim, can we see if we can find anything else?"

"Women in bikinis" Chris said with a big smile "I'm heading that way."

"I can teach you how to swim Moka-chan," as he tried to convince Moka to give it a shot "it's really easy."

"Are you two coming?" Chris said as he made his way to the pool.

"Ya," Tsukune said back.

At the pool, "Hello, I am the club president, Tamao Ichinose" said a hot girl in a bikini with an unbuttoned white shirt and a towel wrapped around her waist.

"Boobies!!!!!" Chris said loudly.

"Oh yes, I've heard about you" she said with a smile "you came here from America, but if you try to touch any of my swimmers I'll see to it that you will be expelled."

"I don't give a fuck" looking at her boobs "that will just add to my record of schools."

"Zumeer-san," Tsukune said "when will you learn to be a little more respectful?"

"Never," with a big smile still looking at Tamao's boobs "besides Tsukune, I like boobies."

"So" she said as she approached Tsukune "you're Tsukune Aono, I've been dying to meet you from the first day of the year. But I must admit; I'm surprised to see a vampire this close to water."

"Chris, Tsukune let's go" Algren said as he appeared from nowhere with his sword across his back "we have to get warmed up" he saw Tamao "you, stay away from my students."

"Why," as she moved closer to Algren "I mean no harm to them, Kusu-sensei. Why don't you join the swim club too, just so I can prove it?"

"No," as he grabbed Tsukune and Moka "I swim in the evening but I'm not interested in joining a club."

"I don't get why you swim at all," smiling "especially with what happens afterwards."

"What is she talking about Algren" Moka asked.

"Why do we need to go we still have forty five minutes" Tsukune asked.

"Because we need to warm up and figure out the song order," as he turned so he could take off to the stage.

"I'll see you around" Tamao said as Algren and Chris took off with Tsukune and Moka in Algren's arms.

"Do you think they'll come back" one of the swimmers asked Tamao.

"Chris Zumeer will," with a smile "but Tsukune Aono I'm not sure."

Backstage, "How did you keep up?" Algren asked Chris as he set Tsukune and Moka down.

"Easily."

"Niisan" Yukari shouted as she ran towards him "you'll never guess who's in the other band."

"Who," as he looked on the stage seeing Saizo, and a group of his friends "YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING!!!!!"

"I'm afraid not" Alex said as he walked up "but this is going to be fun."

"Ok," Algren said shaking his head "let's figure out what songs we're doing in what order."

"Let Tsukune start" Chris said with a smile "that will make them overconfident then I'll go and scare the sh… crap out of them" saving himself from cussing in front of Yukari.

"Ok," Algren said with a smile "but I'd like to go last because I'm going to do my song right. Tsukune-san you ok with going first?"

"Ya," with slight confidence "no problem."

"So I'm going third" Alex asked.

"Obviously" Chris said like a smartass.

"Cool, oh, before I forget; they decide which band goes first with a coin toss."

"Sounds fair, but even if we win let's let those guys go first" Algren said with a smile.

"Ok," Chris said "if we get an encore what song will we play?"

"If it's ok with you three" still smiling "I'd like to play the song I discussed with you earlier." Everyone agreed as they walked on stage and took their spots; Chris playing lead guitar, Alex on rhythm guitar, Algren and Tsukune on bass, Alex made a duplicate of Chris so he could play drums.

"Well, well," Saizo said as the group took their spots "the so called 'vampire', the teme sensei, the asshole sensei, and the New Guy."

"I warned you not to call me New Guy," The duplicate of Chris shouted as he got up from his drum set to kick Saizo's ass again "now you're gonna get it."

"Chris-san" Algren said as he forced Chris back onto his drummer's set "you can kick his ass after the battle of the bands; I don't want that easy of a victory."

"Good point." The real Chris said while walking back to the stage.

"Alright you two bands," Nekonome-sensei said as she walked on stage "a coin toss will determine who goes first," she showed the coin "now call it while it's in the air" she said as she tossed it up.

"Heads," Algren shouted, when it hit the ground it was heads "you guys can go first," with a smile and walked back to his group.

"This better work" Alex said.

"It will," still smiling "don't worry."

"Let's show these guys how it's done," Saizo said to his group as they grabbed their instruments. "Let the bodies hit the floor, let the bodies hit the floor, let the bodies hit the" pause for the drummer to enter "FLOOR!!!" the band started playing.

Song: let the bodies hit the floor

"ZZZZZ," Algren heard so he looked over to Alex who was half asleep.

"Alex," he smacked him upside the head "stay awake."

"Sorry, it's just so boring."

When Saizo's group got done they set their instruments down and Saizo said "How'd you like that?"

"Too slow of a song," Chris said "that's a warm up song if anything."

"Tsukune-san," Alex yelled "you're up."

"Gentlemen," Chris said with a huge smile "prepare to get laid tonight."

"Wow," Algren said as he smacked his forehead "one track mind."

"Finally," he grabbed the mic and started singing. "I'm through with standing in lines to clubs I'll never get in, it's like the bottom of the ninth and I'm never gonna win this; life hasn't turned out quit the way I want it to be."

"So what you want?" Algren sang along.

Song: I wanna be a rock star

At the end of the song Saizo said "and you said our first song was slow? That was a stupid song." The crowd roared with excitement.

"I think the crowd disagrees," Tsukune said as he set the mic down and walked over to Algren.

"Did it just get colder" Chris asked as goose bumps formed on his arms. Everyone just looked at him weird.

"You can't beat this next song," Saizo said as he walked back to his group. The drummer and guitarist started and played for twenty seven seconds where Saizo started singing "Somewhere be unhappiness and sadness."

Song: getting away with murder

"If you screw this up I will kick your ass" Chris said to Alex as he grabbed the mic.

"Here's the piano you asked for Zumeer-san" Nekonome-sensei said as the stage crew wheeled it out.

"Cool," Algren said as he sat down at it and played a few notes "and it's toned right. Awesome, now I don't have to waste time toning it."

"You play the piano?" Saizo laughed "what a loser, that instrument is stupid. I don't even think it should be called an instrument. Just when I thought you couldn't get any more pathetic."

"Don't mock the piano," as he got out a sheet of music "it's a very calming instrument. Besides I learned how to play it from a very close friend."

"Algren," Alex said "remember we're on stage, fixing to play a song; you don't need to be getting lost in your past."

"Right," as he corrected his position.

Algren played the piano opening for twenty five seconds before the rest of the band entered, and at forty eight seconds Chris started yelling "YAAAAA!!!" then sang "Shhh, quiet, might piss somebody off. Like me mother fucker, you've been at it for too long; while you feed off of others insecurities. You stand in front of me and bite the hand that feeds."

Song: critical acclaim

At this point Algren got up from the piano and picked up his bass and joined in with the rest of the band. Everyone sang a part, except the bassists. After Alex finished the first solo Chris looked at him and said "nice solo old man, top this" as he put his foot on a speaker. Before the second guitar solo started, Algren felt an itch on his neck, so he forced his tail out to strum as he used his hand to scratch it.

After the song was over Saizo's group stood with a dumbfounded look on their faces; "What," Chris asked "you never heard that song?"

"That was tiring," Algren said as he set his bass down "I'm going to go get a cup of tea, anyone else want some?"

"Since you're going for beer," Chris said "I'll take one."

"I don't drink," in response "much……. Any more……"

"I'll just get myself a cup of water then."

"Ok," as he took off his shirts and walked off stage taking off his sword so he could do so and then put it back across his back.

"They better have big cups backstage," Chris said as he followed Algren and took off his shirt as well.

"That was a, umm interesting, song" Nekonome-sensei said as she had the stage crew take the piano off stage "we will take a thirty minute intermission."

Backstage, "Wow," Chris said to himself as he poured his cup of water "they do have big cups" as he turned around to see a girl in a hoodie like white and blue shirt without the hood, obvious black sports bra, purple miniskirt, purple and pink striped stockings, with long purple hair, ice blue eyes and sucking on a lollie-pop "where did you and your boobies come from?" as he jumped back knocking over the water cooler and spilling his water.

"I'm Mizore Shirayuki" the girl said to him "and obviously I came from behind you. So I guess what everyone says about you is true; you being obsessed with boobs and all. You even dream of boobs."

"Uh," trying to keep from freaking out "how do you know so much about me?"

"I, uh, hear rumors" she lied "it's easy to hear about guys, especially when most of the student body is girls."

"Right," in a sarcastic tone as he felt himself get cold again "why is it so cold again?"

"I'm not surprised you don't believe me," as she stepped closer to him "after all, I have skipped most of the first semester so far; and you haven't seen me at all."

"Uh, are you stalking me?"

"I don't know what you're talking about," blushing slightly.

"Did I leave my necklace in my room" Chris asked himself as he realized he didn't have it on.

"You left it in your nightstand," without hesitation or realizing he was tricking her.

"I KNEW IT," he shouted with no shock at all.

"Why are you yelling Chris-san" Algren asked as he appeared next to him with his cup of tea in his hand.

"This chick is stalking me!!!!"

"And the problem is……?"

"Good point;" as he looked at Algren "there is no problem."

"Who are you," Algren asked the girl.

"I'm Mizore Shirayuki," looking at the ground still blushing.

"You're on my class attendance," looking at the girl "why haven't you been showing up?"

"I never see a reason to."

"Chris Algren," Alex said as he came backstage to get the two "five minutes."

"Ok," both of them said as they walked back onto the stage.

"I think she's broken into my room," Chris said with concern "several times."

"Why do you say that?"

"She knows where I left my necklace, and that I dream about boobies."

"Uh-huh," with a raised eyebrow "ya, she might have broken into your room a couple times."

"A couple?" before he felt himself get cold again "she's watching us right now" in a whisper.

"You have a tattoo?" Tsukune asked loudly and pointing at Algren's chest.

"Ya," as he looked at his yin-yang tattoo on the left side of his chest "I've had it for a while now."

"Ya," Alex agreed "you haven't noticed it?"

"No," still pointing at it.

"Sweet," Chris said ignoring the cold feeling he had "our band has ink."

"Kusu-teme has a tattoo?" Saizo asked as he walked back on stage.

"You really want me to kick your ass now don't you" Algren asked with a serious look on his face.

"You couldn't take me if I held back."

"And yet I was able to stop an all out blow, with one hand" smiling.

"You want to try me," Saizo yelled "if you do we can start right now, right here. I will bust you up."

"Go for it" as he got in Saizo's face.

"Fight," the crowd roared "I want to see Kusu-sensei's true form," many shouted.

"Now, now" Nekonome-sensei said as she forced the two away from each other "back to your bands or…" stopping because she realized she couldn't stop these two if they were to start fighting "Inazaka-sensei can you break this up?"

"Algren," Alex shouted in a voice of steel "don't make me go and get you."

"If you ever start shit with me again," as he walked back to his band "I WILL finish it."

Everyone took their instruments and waited. "Good luck Zumeer-san, I'll be watching you" Chris heard behind him in a familiar voice so he turned around to see Mizore standing behind the curtain. Chris just turned forward trying to act like he didn't hear what she just said.

"Komiya-san" Nekonome-sensei said "it's your band's turn to go."

"Fine," as he grabbed the mic. "Cut my life into pieces this is my last resort," he started followed by the rest of the band joining in.

Song: last resort

Midway through the song Algren's eye was twitching before he shouted "BASSIST IF YOU KEEP MISSING NOTES I WILL PUT MY FOOT SO FAR UP YOUR ASS THE WATER ON MY KNEE WILL QUICHE YOUR THRIST!!!!!"

The Chris clone stood up from his drums and shouted at the drummer "SAME GOES TO YOU DRUMMER!!!" Algren and Chris could see the sweat roll down the side of the bassist's and drummer's faces. "Wow he really is a clone of me."

After Saizo's band got done he walked over to Algren and said "if you think you can play that song better than us; then do it."

"We played a much harder song," Chris said as he stood up "and we did it flawlessly; and to top that Algren scratched himself with his hand and strummed with his tail."

"You stay out of this," Saizo snapped "you little punk. You might have been able to beat me earlier, but you caught me off guard."

"Ohy" Algren said as he got in Saizo's face, again "I'm right here, and Chris-san still gets to kick your ass afterwards for your comment earlier."

"Oh-ya" Chris said with surprise with a big smile "I almost forgot about that."

"Now, now" Nekonome-sensei said as she, yet again, forced the two away from each other "battle of the bands, not battle of sensei and student."

"Ok," Algren said as he walked over and picked up his bass and prepared for the next song.

The Chris clone started playing on the ride symbol for twenty three seconds before Algren and Tsukune joined in; at forty three seconds Alex started "Yea…, paralyzed nothing's getting through me."

Song: sick of life

Algren played the entire song strumming with his tail, just to piss Saizo off; and it worked. "It takes skill to be able to do that," smiling as he walked over to put his bass down.

"You think that was impressive?" Saizo shouted.

"Ya," Alex said as he put down his guitar "and he has been able to do that for a while now."

"Don't start arguing again" Nekonome-sensei said as she rushed out to prevent a fight.

The Chris clone relaxed and set his drum sticks down, when he did that they completely shattered. "That's a first," he said in shock looking at what was left of his sticks "damn, I left my other sticks in my room."

"Here you go Zumeer-san" Mizore said as she stepped out from behind the curtain and handed him his sticks from his room.

"You broke into my room" he said in shock "again… wait how'd you know my sticks were going to shatter?"

"I didn't" blushing "I took these from your room last night."

"What?" dumbfounded "did we have sex last night? Or did you break in?"

Her blush deepens 'oh I wish.'

"What's with the look, and why are you blushing that badly?"

"No reason" obviously lying.

"Dot dot dot."

Chris looked back at hearing their conversation 'holy shit he really IS a clone of me. Wonder if he likes boobies too?'

"Alex I need you to put a barrier around Tsukune-san for my song" Algren whispered to Alex.

"Why?"

"He is supposed to be a vampire," still whispering "and in order to maintain that 'fact' he can't get wet. You know what happens, you've saved me from dying that way once."

"True."

Tsukune was over hearing the conversation and trying to put the parts together. 'What does he mean by 'you know what happens'?'

"Alright now that we're down to the last songs" Nekonome-sensei said "after the bands are done you will go report to the club that you are interested in. Komiya-san, again it's your band's turn."

Saizo grabbed the mic and started singing lowly "this is what it's like when worlds collide, now this is what it's like. Now this is what it's like when worlds collide, now this is what it's like."

Song: when worlds collide

When they got done Algren said to Alex "put Tsukune-san in the barrier."

"Why do I need to be in a barrier?" Tsukune asked.

"Just trust me" Algren whispered to him "it will keep your reputation as a vampire going." Tsukune nodded as Alex put the barrier up. "Can I get a headset for my song?" Algren asked Nekonome-sensei.

"Sure," she ran back stage to get it. Algren put his hand on his sword's hilt and made a rain cloud form over the stage and starts to rain on it. "Here you go" she said as she ran back on the stage and saw it raining "how is it raining?"

"I caused it to," as he took the headset from her hand "thank you for finding it for me."

"You caused it to rain," Saizo started to rant "you're going to sing, and play bass? This better be a damn good song."

"Yup," smiling as he put the headset on "Tsukune-san can't play this song by himself yet, so I'm going to play bass and sing."

Chris and Alex started playing the guitar entrance, as they did that Algren built up aura around him causing it to swirl around him. At twenty two seconds Algren yelled "LET'S GO……" and released the aura that he built up, leading the bass and drums in and at forty nine seconds sang "without your eyes I watch you sleeping, the warmth I feel beside me is slowly fading. Would she hear me if I called her name, would she hold me if she knew my shame; THERE'S ALWAYS SOMETHING DIFFERENT GOING WRONG, THE PATH I WALK'S IN THE WRONG DIRECTION. THERE'S ALWAYS SOMEONE FUCKING HANGING ON, CAN ANYBODY HELP ME MAKE SENSE BOUT TIME?"

Song: tears don't fall

At the guitar solo Alex and Chris went back to back as they played the solo. After the song Algren started to set his bass down and made the rain stop, Alex made the barrier around Tsukune fall but leaving enough of it to keep the water on the stage away from him. "ENCORE" the crowd screamed.

"Give us five minutes," Algren requested as he took off the headset and walked backstage trying to hide his pain.

"Kusu-sensei, are you ok," Tsukune asked as he ran backstage with Algren to make sure he was ok.

"I'm fine" he lied as he sat on a chair "my arms just hurting."

"Here Algren" Alex said throwing him a towel to dry off "that wasn't a smart move you just did" seeing that Algren had small shocks of electricity going around his body.

"Ya-ya," as he dried himself off "I don't need to hear it."

"Do you need some tea Kusu-sensei?" Tsukune asked him.

"Ya, I made some before the intermission was over, it should be ready by now."

Tsukune ran off to get Algren some tea; "Here," Alex said as he threw Algren a pint sized container "this should help."

"Thanks" as he started to chug the drink.

"You need to wipe your mouth" Alex said seeing a small amount was leaking out of the side of his mouth. Algren wiped it off his mouth and looked at the crimson color of the liquid.

"Algren this chick is really starting to creep me out," Chris said as he walked back stage "last night she broke into my room and stole my drum sticks. And earlier my original drumsticks broke; well shattered is the better word for what happened to them."

"Alright," Algren said as he finished his drink "just talk to her. That should get her to stop stalking you and breaking into your room."

"Here you go Kusu-sensei" Tsukune said as he handed Algren the pitcher of tea "I tried not to spill any."

"Thanks," taking a drink from the pitcher "we have one more song; now let's get out there and do it."

"That's the spirit" Chris said as he headed back to his drums.

"Tsukune-san, can you play this song by yourself?"

"Yes, it's the first song you taught me to play."

Everyone walked back onto the stage and took their instruments, except for Algren who was going to only sing. Algren hunched a luggy at the start of the song right into Saizo's face, after which the rest of the band started playing. At eighteen seconds Algren started singing "everybody's got their problems, everybody says the same thing to you, it's just a matter how you solve them. And knowing how to change the things you've been through, I feel I've come to realize how fast life can be compromised, step back to see what's going on. I can't believe this happened to you, this happened to you."

Song: the hell song

After the song Chris stood up, went backstage for his coat, walked back on stage with it on, pulled a desert eagle out of his coat and shot Saizo in both shoulders and his knees. "That is for calling me new guy" Chris yelled as he put his desert eagle away.

"Ok then," Algren said with a scared look on his face.

"Everyone" Nekonome-sensei said "time to get to the club that interests you." Chris disappeared in a flash.

Tsukune walked backstage where he met up with Moka, "I understand why you don't want to swim" he said as he hugged her "I'm sorry I didn't know."

"Its fine" hugging him back "can we stay away from the pool?"

"Sure, but I should tell Zumeer-san that we aren't joining that club."

"Ok."

They headed for the pool where Chris was relaxing in a chair. "Hey Tsukune," Chris said as he got up from is chair "what took you?"

"Moka-chan and I aren't going to join this club," as he wrapped his arm around her waist "we're going to find a club that's safe for the both of us."

"Ok," smiling "but you're going to miss the women in bikinis."

"I don't care, I have Moka-chan."

"So, you came back" Tamao said as she approached Tsukune and Chris "are you going to join?"

"No," still holding Moka by her waist "Moka-chan and I are going to find a club that won't harm us."

"Help," several guys screamed from the pool. Chris and Tsukune looked and saw the original club members attacking the males in the pool.

"What the fuck is going on?" Chris asked looking at Tamao.

"What has always gone on in the pool," with an evil smile "we suck the youth out of any male that enters our pool."

"I could make a perverted comment but I'll save it for later" as he dashed across the pool grabbing every guy he could as he went.

"If it weren't for Moka-san you would be in the pool too, Tsukune Aono," as she grabbed Moka and threw her into the pool.

"Moka-chan!!!!" Tsukune screamed as he started to head for the water.

"Don't go after her," he heard Yukari say as she was using her magic to beat the swimmers with dust pans and wash pans "you can't get wet either."

"But Moka-chan" still heading for the water.

"I have her," he heard from behind him; he turned to see Algren in a sprint heading for the water. He dove in and swam down as fast as he could. As he went deeper and closer to Moka, he saw she was getting shocked by the water.

Water is a purifying agent, so when a vampire gets into contact with water their powers get neutralized in a painful way.

Algren could feel his body start to tingle as he approached Moka, grabbed her and headed up. "Kusu-sensei," Tsukune said as he started to help Algren get Moka out of the water.

"Oh-no you don't" Tamao said as she grabbed him and started to drag him into the water "I've had my eyes on you for a while now, so I will suck out your youth."

"Let go of me!!" Tsukune ordered as he hit her in the nose with his elbow, breaking her nose.

"You broke my nose," as she held her nose and jumped into the pool.

"Algren," Alex shouted as he ran up "how can I help?"

"Dry Moka-san and I off" getting out of the pool and his body still tingling. Alex used his magic to pull the water off of Algren and Moka. "Now" as he drew his sword with one hand and pulled out a bottle of sake with the other "keep those swimmers off me" as he pulled the cork out with his mouth and chugged the sake.

"You won't be able to save her KUSU-SENSEI" Tamao shouted as she jumped out of the water in her true form; her along with every swimmer in the club are mermaids.

Mermaids: contrary to the sweet image projected in popular fairytales; sailors feared these creatures of the sea because they used their beauty to lure them to their ends. These creatures stay young by sucking the youth out of youthful men, leaving them as old men; literally.

"Too slow" Chris said as he appeared in front of her and kicked her straight into the air.

"How long will this take Niisan?" Yukari asked still beating the swimmers with dust pans and wash pans.

"Until she wakes up" as he placed his sword over her horizontally and then the sword started to glow a dark purple.

"What are you doing?" Tsukune asked.

"Transferring some of my power to her," as he shook his head as if he was fighting something off.

"Chris," Alex said as he pushed Chris into the pool "you shouldn't stand so close to the pool when the swimmers are youth sucking mermaids." Giggling to himself. Just as Chris hit the water the swimmers closed in on him, but before they could reach him a whirlpool started to form. "Oh-shit," Alex said as he saw the whirlpool form and reach above the pool deck.

"I need to get out of here" Algren said as he sprouted his Incubus wings and flew off.

"Kusu-sensei, wait" as he ran to Moka "what about Moka-chan?"

"You're going pay for pushing me in the pool; you son of a bitch" Chris shouted angrily as he stepped out of the pool and holding a mermaid by her tail fin, and swung at Alex hitting him square in the face.

"OUCH," Alex shouted as he ran away from Chris "that hurt!!!"

"It's supposed to hurt;" as he chased Alex still swinging the mermaid at him "it's called an ass whooping."

"Kusu-sensei left his sword" Tsukune said to himself as he picked up Algren's sword.

"I'll teach you to break my nose, Tsukune Aono" Tamao shouted as she jumped out of the water at Tsukune.

'What do I do' Tsukune thought to himself as he turned around. 'There will be a time' he heard in his head 'when you will have to choose between your life and the life of someone you hold dear to you.'

Flashback

"What are the normal risks of a fight?" Tsukune asked Algren as he breathed heavily to catch his breath.

"Every fight has its risks," Algren told Tsukune after the first day of his training "there may be a time when you are, literally, all that's standing between an enemy and someone you love."

"How will I choose?" Tsukune asked.

"It depends on the situation," Algren said as he sat down "if that person is still alive you should pick their life over your own; but if the person is dead, I'm sure that person would want you to live as long as possible."

"What if I can't tell?"

"Then you protect that person with your life," leaning towards Tsukune "if you can still breathe you can fight to protect that person."

"Ok," with a slight hint of fire in his eyes.

End flashback

Tsukune's grip on Algren's sword tightened, Tamao opened her mouth to suck the youth out of him; but her bite was met by the sword's dull edge. "You will not harm Moka-chan," as he threw her back "and I will make you pay for hurting her!!!"

Tamao landed in the water, "Aww," she said sarcastically from underwater "how sweet, two vampire lovers. One of which is most likely dead, and the other that will soon join," as she jumped out at Tsukune again; her claws sliced into his arm causing severe bleeding.

"As long as I can breathe," Tsukune started to repeat.

"Huh?"

"I will protect Moka-chan, because I love her!!! And as long as I have the life in me to fight I will protect her!!!!"

"Too bad it's pointless" taking another jump at Tsukune "because both of you are dead."

Tsukune used the flat part of the blade to hit her in the face back into the water. "Damn," he said lowly as he felt himself getting dizzy "I'm losing too much blood." 'Wait, blood. Moka-chan might need blood to wake up.' He turned around and kneeled next to Moka and lifted her head, put her mouth on his wound and waited for her to start drinking the blood coming out. 'No,' he thought in panic as tears formed in his eyes 'she can't be, no.' "NOOOOO!!" he screamed as his eyes turned red and his wounds started to heal rapidly.

"Now die vampire" Tamao shouted as she took one more jump at Tsukune.

Tsukune gave her one punch in the face and sent her flying across the pool, just as he did this Moka's eyes slowly opened. "Tsukune-kun," she managed to say.

"Moka-chan," Tsukune said as he turned back to her and kneeled down to hold her, his eyes turned back to normal.

"Wow," Chris said as he walked back onto the pool deck "that was some punch." Tsukune passed out on top of Moka "Tsukune you need to get off of Moka" as he picked Tsukune up off of Moka "shit I need to get both of you to the infirmary."

In the infirmary later that day, "Tsukune," Tsukune heard "come on man wake up. You told Ms. Nekonome you wouldn't make a habit of being in the infirmary."

"I said I wouldn't make a habit of being in the infirmary for a week at a time" as he shook his head to wake up "get your facts straight."

"Holy shit dude," Chris said with relief "I thought you were gonna die with how much blood you lost, and then you gave that mermaid one punch and passed out on top of Moka and not in the good way."

"Where is Moka" he said in shock remembering that he saved her.

"She's in the room," a nurse said as she walked in "in the bed right next to you, she insisted on being in the same room as you."

"I'm glad she's safe" as he looked at Moka who was asleep in the bed next to him "I thought I lost her."

"Ya, I know" Chris said "that's when you went all out on that bitch, full vampire red blood-like eyes; but it's weird…"

"What's weird?"

"Vampire's also have silver hair," leaning back "so you probably didn't go all out."

"What happened to Kusu-sensei?"

"Inazaka-sensei checked him into the infirmary just a few minutes ago," the nurse said before she left the room "he has a lot of injuries that suggest he was in a fight; and not just one of Inazaka-sensei's and Kusu-sensei's sparing matches."

"Now that's weird," Chris said leaning forward again "Algren didn't fight at all; he just 'transferred some of his powers to Moka' whatever that meant."

In Nekonome-sensei's room the next day, "so you all wish to join my news paper club" Nekonome-sensei asked with excitement to Moka, Tsukune, Yukari, Kurumu and Chris.

"Ya," Tsukune said "it's the only place Moka-chan and I can work together."

"I prefer to be with Tsukune-kun;" Yukari said "he's like a brother."

"It's the only place Alex-kun will let me join," Kurumu said as she recalled what happened in the other clubs.

I won't go into details but to summarize Alex was the least of the guys in the clubs problems…

"Nowhere else would let me spy on people but mainly women." Chris said with a dead serious look on his face.

"YAY!!!" Nekonome-sensei shouted with joy "now here is the club president, Ginnei Morioka."

"Hello everyone" Gin said as he walked into the room with flowers in his hands for the girls "you all look lovely today" as he handed Moka, Kurumu, and Yukari the flowers.

"Ok first" Chris said "these" as he patted Kurumu's boobs "belong to Inazaka; second these belong to vampire boy over there" as he patted Moka's boobs and pointed at Tsukune "and third this little one here is Algren's little sister, and she's eleven" patting Yukari on the head "do you really want to piss those guys off? And one last thing" patting Moka's and Kurumu's boobs at the same time "normally I don't worry about things that don't belong to me, but because I know the guys they're dating I will make an exception." Chris was met with two fists in the face, one from Moka and another from Kurumu. "Damn," Chris moaned "I forgot; boobs are attached to girls, with fists, and anger issues." That comment got him another set of punches from Moka and Kurumu.

"At least I have better planning than you," Gin said with a smile.

"And yet you are trying to piss off the two biggest bad asses in the school" Chris said as he rubbed his face where he got punched "and Tsukune is in the process of becoming a bad ass."

LESSON 4 MERMAIDS

Quiz: When the president of a school of fish chicks hits on both you and your protector you…

Stay away from the water completely to keep your cover as a vampire going.

Let a new ally take care of the school of fish.

Show very little interest to piss her off.

Let your protector get drunk and have him take care of it, and possibly everyone around the pool; friend or foe.
