I'll save the author's notes for the end, it's been far too long, enjoy.
Yōkai Campus
A month later
'Shō Fukamachi, the Guyver I, the boy who destroyed Chronos, who was now in a somewhat odd relationship with two girls. At the age of seventeen, this young man had done and seen many things and had saved his planet on more than one occasion. Yet when faced with a situation like he was in now, he crumbled in the face of danger.'
At least, that's what Shō had been thinking in his inner monologue, as he and a certain blue-haired succubus wandered over to a wall of insurmountable anxiety. As students moved to make room for the couple, all eyes were on this giant board. It was finally the time. The mid-term grades had been posted, and it had nearly all the 256 freshman were present at the unveiling. As Shō looked for his name among the ranks, a squeal from Kurumu indicated she found her ranking. Shō scanned the rows to see that Kurumu was ranked one-hundred-and-seventh in the total list.
"107, not bad Kurumu, it looks like that extra studying helped after all," Shō congratulated his girlfriend. The blue-haired girl smiled cutely at her boyfriend, and then scanned the boards for his name.
"Shō where's your name at? I don't see you in this section at all," the girl told the Guyver, which caused him to sweat-drop. He guided her gaze to the further to the left, and then pointed to his name. "Shō Fukamachi – 17. Aw come on, how are you that much smarter than me Shō?"
"I wasn't the one trying to take 'study breaks' all the time when Moka wasn't around," he teased the succubus. The girl flushed in remembrance, but then smiled smugly.
"Don't get too high and mighty on me, Shō. It looks like Moka beat you and me; see she's number thirteen on the list!" Sure enough the sign four spots about Shō's plate read 'Moka Akashiya – 13.' Shō just shrugged passively and then started looking around for the vampire. 'I wonder where she's at this morning.' Kurumu knew what Shō was doing as well and quickly tried to retain his focus only on her. "Hey Shō, why don't you and I grab some breakfast before second period starts, first has been cancelled today anyway because of the tests."
"Sure, that sounds great Kurumu, let's get a move on then," Shō answered. The couple started moving away from the crowd to go get their morning food. 'What an idiot I am…I already start looking for Moka first thing in the morning even after I tell Kurumu I'd try to focus on her more often as well…'
A few minutes earlier – With Moka
As Moka wandered through the crowd of students she continuously scanned the boards for her test grades. She passed the middle board and noted Kurumu's scores. 'Well it looks like her studying actually paid off. I wonder where Shō is at…' The girl continued through the crowd until she spotted Shō and Kurumu looking at the boards. Moka spotted Shō's name and saw that he was ranked 17th. 'Wow that's great! I'll be sure to have something to congratulate him with when I see him next.' Slowly scanning for her own name she found it and squealed aloud. 'I got thirteenth!' Other male students noticed this too and began shouting out random compliments to the vampire, causing her to blush. Moka was going to make her way over Shō and Kurumu, but she already saw them slinking away through the crowd, Shō being tugged along by Kurumu. 'Oh well…I guess I do owe her some time with him.' Moka thought sadly, but some loud talking caught her attention and she looked over to where the commotion was coming from.
It appeared that one of the class representatives and his friends were causing trouble for a small child. Moka wandered ever closer to listen in on the conversation between the other monsters.
"…it looks like you're number one again, Ms. Sendo, congratulations. Although it shouldn't surprise me, seeing as you are in our class even though you are only eleven. But please don't let it go to your head, because in my eyes you are nothing more than an immature, little brat who still wreaks of her mother's milk," the older teen said to the child.
"What do you mean?" The girl asked tentatively, confusion and fear creeping into her voice as she asked the question. The young man sneered at the girl.
"What the big idea wearing that outfit too? It completely defies the school rules!" The girl was garbed in a rather large witch's hat with a pentagram button on it, the regular skirt of all female students, yellow stockings, a dark plum shirt that covered a red undershirt, and a white pattered cloak. The older student grabbed the girl by the head and she wailed in protest.
"Kya! Pl-please stop!" But it seemed no one was moving to help her. The class representative continued his bullying.
"As the class representative, the mere sight of you gives me a headache. After all your true form is a witch is it not? The very thought of that is disgusting!" This caused the girl to leer at the older student in anger, and then a small snap sounded out. A small rock had been magically picked up and thrown into the back of the representative's head.
"Ah, you deserved that!" the younger girl taunted, which sent the teen into a rage.
"What the hell did you just do to me?" he demanded of her, and he moved to strike the small child. Moka, having been watching this exchange for the last few moments, decided to act and jumped in front of the representative.
"Stop," the pink-haired vampire shouted at the teen, "I know that I have nothing to do with this, but please stop using violence towards girls!" There was a shocked look upon the young witch's face as her savior leered at the class representative. The young man looked torn on what to do. Finally he turned to his friends.
"Come on guys, let's get out of here. You better remember this, Yukari!" With that the class rep and his friends decided to leave before Moka got serious. As they walked away, Moka turned to face the young witch.
"Yukari, was it? Are you alright? They didn't hurt you did they?" Yukari slowly shook her head, and Moka smiled, relieved that the girl was not injured. Yukari suddenly latched onto the vampire.
"Thank you so much for saving me! I'm Yukari Sendo, and I love you Moka!" the young witch cried aloud. The vampire was taken aback by the hug, but she smiled warily at the young girl.
"It's no problem, but why don't we go and try and find my friends, then we can all get properly acquainted." Yukari nodded to this, and was led away by the vampire.
Elsewhere on campus – with Shō and Kurumu
As the couple finished eating their morning meal, they soon saw Moka wandering around the campus with a young girl in tow. Shō looked over to Kurumu, who just snorted.
"It looks like she has a new friend, Shō, which means maybe I get a bit more time to have you all to myself," Kurumu winked. The young man blushed a bit, but smiled at the succubus.
"I really have enjoyed spending more time with you Kurumu, and I hope we can more, but I think we should go see if Moka needs any help, okay?" The succubus pouted slightly, but gave into her boyfriend, as they threw away their trash and went to greet the vampire. As the couple neared Moka, Shō called out to her.
"Moka, hey!" The young vampire lighted up at the call of her boyfriend and rushed over to Kurumu and him. Moka embraced Shō into a full on hug, and he reciprocated the action. He heard Kurumu scoff a little at the contact, but then she let out a little 'eep' as Shō pulled her in as well. The succubus blushed at his inclusion of her, but the trio suddenly was brought back to reality as a Yukari cleared her throat.
"Who are you people?" the young witch asked Shō and Kurumu. Shō looked down at the Yukari and smiled.
"I'm Shō Fukamachi, and this is my girlfriend Kurumu Kurono," Shō introduced he and Kurumu, who smiled at the title he had given her. Moka's brow furrowed at that though.
"She's not your only girlfriend, you know," Moka teased her boyfriend. Yukari's eyes widened at this, and she glared at Shō.
"So you're Moka's boyfriend too?" Shō nodded. "B-but I want to date Moka! You can have the cow-chest, but give me Moka!" Kurumu's mouth dropped at the insult the young witch had just dished out. Shō was angry as well.
"What did you just call me you little brat?" Kurumu growled out at the little witch, who just ignored her, and then she grabbed Moka by the hand, and got on her knees.
"Every time I saw you in class from across the hall, I feel in love with you a bit more, but after you saved me from those creeps my heart was made up…please go out with me Moka! Would it be that bad, to date someone like me?" The trio's mouths dropped at this, and then Kurumu and Shō looked at Moka, who was stuttering.
"Err…umm as a friend…?" The vampire ventured, which seemed to do it for the witch.
"Yay I'm so happy!"
In the halls – Later
As Moka was walking from her third class to meet up with Shō, she suddenly felt someone behind her. She was about to turn around; when she felt a pair of hands suddenly grab her bosom. Moka cried out in fright, as she turned to see Yukari playing with her chest.
"Wow, they're even bigger than they look!" The girl cried out, causing more than a few people to stop and look at the display. Moka started blushing from the contact with the young witch.
"Y-Yukari what are you doing? Stop this is embarrassing," Moka tried to scold her young friend, but Yukari ignored her protests as she continued her hands-on treatment of the poor vampire.
With Shō
As Shō waited for Moka to get out of her class, he was seated in the cafeteria chatting away with Gin, before he started wondering where his girlfriend was.
"Fukamachi, are you even listening to me?" the club president asked the Guyver. Shō nodded absentmindedly, before he got up.
"I'm sorry Gin, but I need to go look for Moka, can we pick this up later?" Gin just sighed and nodded reluctantly.
"Make it soon; I need your article about the exams by the end of the week, Shō." With that the boy headed out to find his vampire. After a few minutes of walking down the halls, Shō heard a clamor and rushed to see what the matter was. What he came upon, was one Yukari Sendo feeling his girlfriend up. Moka looked up and saw him standing there, and he rushed over to the two girls.
"What on earth are you doing, Yukari?" Shō yelled at the small girl. The witch huffed in annoyance, but detached from the vampire, much to her relief, and then marched up to Shō and glared at him.
"Oh Shō Fukamachi," the girl started saying in a rather condescending tone. "Please don't get in our way. There wasn't much on you in the school records; you just suddenly appeared here one day. I know you're smart, but Moka and I are smarter. You seem to be the only one of your race that is attending Yōkai, but even then I have never heard of a 'Guyver' before. As far as I'm concerned, you aren't worthy of Moka at all! That's why I'm declaring war on you!" Shō stared at her, until she pulled out a magical wand. It was a simple thing; the top was bent in the shape of a heart with a floating star in the middle.
"What on earth…" Shō trailed off as a sudden rustling sounded from behind him. He turned and his face was almost comical as brooms and other cleaning supplies erupted from a closet and flew toward him at an alarming rate. Moka paled as her boyfriend was suddenly being attacked janitorial supplies, all the while Yukari was laughing.
"I'll use my magic all day to fend off boys from getting too close to my Moka! 'Cuz I'm a witch!" Moka looked over at the small girl and just sweat dropped, meanwhile Shō was busy trying to fend off the demonic cleaning supplies. He shot the girl an annoyed look.
"Isn't it against school rules to tell us what kind of monster you are?" The girl just stuck her tongue out at him, and he growled. Further away watching the entire scene were a few guys hidden in the shadows. One was impatiently tapping his foot on the ground and let out a disgruntled noise. He signaled to his two companions to leave…
Infirmary – Shō & Kurumu
A while later
"Yukari, huh?" Kurumu asked her boyfriend as she applied a bandage to Shō's face. Shō nodded slightly in annoyance, and then he sighed exasperatedly.
"Yeah…she's a total pain in my side. She's been attacking me with possessed inanimate objects or summoning those golden washtubs and dropping them on my head. I have club work that I need to take care of with Moka, but every time I try to talk with her, there's Yukari, whipping around some magic and attacking me," Shō complained to his girlfriend. Kurumu put her hand on his shoulder.
"Shō it'll be alright, although I have heard some rumors about that girl. Even though she's some girl genius or whatever, it sounds like she's just a selfish little brat. I heard she's always playing pranks on people, and everyone in her class despises her."
"Really? I wonder why?" Shō asked dryly, causing Kurumu to giggle. His face then softened as he looked at the succubus. "Thank you for patching me up, Kurumu, it means a lot." The blue-haired girl blushed slightly, and smiled.
"Oh it's nothing, Shō, anytime," she responded, before she leaned over and kissed the Guyver on the cheek. Shō smiled back at her, and then pulled her into his embrace, which surprised Kurumu. She nestled into him, and they sat contentedly for a few moments. As the couple sat together, a small witch perched outside of the window and pulled something from her cloak. 'This will show that boy to meddle with my Moka! My warawara doll will take control of his body, and then I'll be in control!' Yukari inserted a piece of paper with Shō's name on in into the doll, and then moved its little arms.
As Kurumu nestled into her boyfriend, she suddenly 'eeped' as Shō tumbled backward and began punching himself in the face.
"Shō what in the world are you doing?" Kurumu asked worriedly, but Shō's reply was muffled by his own fist. "What?"
"I said, it's not me!" Shō shouted as he was flung about by some unseen force, and he collided with Kurumu, and they tumbled into a heap. Shō blushed at the position they were in, but Kurumu didn't notice until Shō's hands shot forward and grabbed onto her bosom. She squealed in a combination of embarrassment and pleasure. Shō's face turned beet red, as he continued his 'massage', and then he paled when he heard a very distinct voice clear her throat.
Shō looked up to see Moka standing there, and a rather dark aura radiating from her. She stared hard at her rival and her boyfriend, who still was rather hands on with Kurumu.
"So, you decided to use your charm on him after all?" Moka said accusingly to Kurumu, who jumped up and got into Moka's face.
"You know darn well, that I wouldn't do such a thing again! Shō just suddenly pounced me, and who am I to say no..," Kurumu blushed and trailed off. Moka looked over to Shō was had since seemed to regain control of his body. He was about to reply until they all heard laughter coming from outside the window. Shō poked his head out and much to his disdain; Yukari was underneath, still laughing.
"You think you're pretty funny, don't you?" Shō asked the young girl impatiently. The witch looked up and just let out a small 'uh-oh.'
A bit later
The four were gathered outside, with both Kurumu and Shō glaring at Yukari as she hid behind Moka's back.
"We really need to do something about this girl, she's starting to get under my skin," Shō said heatedly while casting a dark glare at the young witch. In response, she stuck her tongue out at the Guyver. 'Why that little…' Shō thought.
"Now, now Shō calm down…" Moka started, but Shō cut her off.
"No Moka, you're way too easy on her. She's insulted Kurumu, injured me more than a few times, and took control of my body! She made me do things to Kurumu!" Kurumu coughed a bit at that.
"Nothing I didn't enjoy…" she muttered, to which Shō looked at her pleadingly.
"The point is, she's a bother to everyone, and the only way to get it through her skull is for you to tell her Moka!" Moka looked at the ground, torn between her boyfriend and the young witch.
"I suppose, but…" Moka began to say, but Yukari had heard enough.
"A bother? Even to Moka?" The girl asked with tears welling up in her eyes. Shō stomped his foot on the ground.
"Even if Yukari hangs out with just you, Moka, then won't she lose all her other friends, and end up totally alone?" Moka looked sadly at the young girl, and shot Shō a disarming look.
"I don't mind, after all I am a genius!" the young witch said proudly. "I'm sorry, but I don't want such low-ability friends anyway." Shō rolled his eyes, and Kurumu huffed.
"Why would we want to be friends with a brat like you anyway shorty?" Kurumu growled at the young witch. "All you do is cause people pain, so why don't you just do us all a favor and leave us alone!"
"It doesn't matter…I've always been alone…" The three others were taken aback by this.
"Yukari…" Shō said softly, instantly feeling the guilt from what he had said. Kurumu grabbed his arm, and sighed. Suddenly a giant washtub fell from the air and knocked Shō to the ground.
"Ahaha! I gotcha!" Yukari taunted the Guyver, before she started to run away. Shō drug himself up from the ground.
"Get back here!" Shō prepared to shoot off after the girl, but Moka ran in front of her boyfriend, with an angry look upon her face.
"Wait, it's awful for you to be mad at her, Shō!" Moka shouted at him, which actually made him stall for a moment.
"Why are you mad at me?" Shō yelled back indignantly. "Why don't you just leave her alone, Moka?!"
Elsewhere on campus – with Yukari
'I don't mind being alone, who needs that stupid Shō and his stupid girlfriends? I hear what the people say…everyone thinks I should just leave this stupid academy. Well I'll show them someday…' Yukari was suddenly brought back to reality as she collided with a teen in a white dress shirt.
"Ah, idiot, why don't you watch where you're going?" Yukari shouted at the person who ran into her. She looked up in surprise as she saw her class representative, Tadashi Wanibuchi, staring down at her in disgust.
"You are the one that bumped into me, Yukari," he spat at her, "how rude. You are a damn shame to this academy." He got extremely close to her face, and she could smell his foul breath.
"What do you mean…?" Yukari asked tentatively, eyeing the space around her, but she saw that Tadashi's two friends were blocking her escape.
"Do you remember when you disgraced me in front of all of those other students earlier? I will never forgive you for that, you disgusting little witch." A forked tongue snaked its way out of his mouth. "I've been waiting to get you alone all day…"
Back with Shō, Moka & Kurumu
"Why don't you just forget about Yukari, Moka? She's really made Kurumu and me suffer a lot as it is! Why is it you're just taking her side over ours? Doesn't what we have, have any weight in this at all?" Shō shouted at the vampire. He instantly shut up, realizing what he had just called into question. Kurumu even shot Shō a disapproving glance, before backing away ever so slowly as Moka flustered in anger.
"It's not like that! Why can't you understand her feelings? Don't you feel sorry for her at all? And how could you ever, ever call my love for you into question like that? If you are really that dense Shō Fukamachi, then maybe we should just take a break!" Moka yelled at him, before she stormed away from the other two, slamming a door.
"Moka…" Shō muttered after her, but she obviously didn't hear it. Kurumu went over to the Guyver and grabbed his arm gently.
"That was really stupid, Shō," she chastised him. Shō just looked at her and gave her a look.
"Don't you think I know that, Kurumu? I just called into question her love for me…and now she wants to take a break? What does that even mean?" The Guyver asked, already knowing full well what it meant. "Kurumu…you're not mad at me too are you?"
"I'm not mad; just…I don't know Shō. You really upset Moka, and while I should be elated that I might have you all to myself, but I'm not. I feel bad for her and you, but I think I know where Moka is coming from…"
"You do?" Shō asked, sounding desperate now to try and make things right with Moka.
"Well, witches are one of the hated races, or at least that's what I've heard."
"Hated races? What do you mean, Kurumu?" Kurumu put her hand to her chin and thought for a few moments before she dove into an explanation.
"Well let's see. You know it's hard to tell whether a witch is a pure yōkai like you or I, or if they are really a human with special abilities." 'Right pure like you and me' Shō grimaced, sooner or later, Kurumu would learn the truth about him, but he couldn't tell her, not yet. "Long ago, they were called 'boundary beings', meaning that they were connected to both the human and supernatural worlds. Today, they are called half-breeds and are discriminated against!"
"Wow…I had no idea that Yukari's people were hated so much. God I feel awful for the way I yelled at her, now…" Kurumu smiled at her boyfriend's reaction to all this.
"Well at least I know you don't hate them, Shō, you're too kindhearted! But on top of all that, the witches are hated by humans too! Apparently in the middle ages, they were hunted down and burned for practicing their magic."
"So, maybe until now, she really had been all alone," Shō said quietly, "well we should go find her and at least try and make right, and maybe we can all be friends." Shō grabbed Kurumu's hand and gave it a small squeeze, before they walked off to go and find Yukari.
Elsewhere
"Kya!" Yukari cried out, as she was sent flying into another tree. "Why class representative?" The older teen laughed deeply, before he began transforming. His features became more reptilian, and his pupils became slits. In a quick-flash he, along with his two friends, suddenly turned into lizardmen.
"So disgusting," Tadashi growled out at the witch, "you witches are such disgusting creatures. Understand, we have no need for a girl like you in our class. I think I should do this academy a favor, and end you once and for all!" The giant lizard lunged for Yukari, who raised her wand up in defense. Tadashi's massive steel-trap of a mouth crunched through the small weapon, and crushed it into pieces.
"Ah my wand! If I don't have that I can't use magic…" She trembled with her back against the tree. The three lizardmen laughed loudly, and one of the subordinates turned to Tadashi.
"What should with do with her now?" he asked. The other subordinate's eyes gleamed in hunger, and he snapped his jaws.
"Let's eat her. The fog is thick, so no one will ever know."
"That sounds good to me! We should eat her up!" Tadashi roared, as he sprang at the young witch, who screamed in terror. The pounding of footsteps interrupted the lizardman, and he turned to see a girl standing a few yards away.
"Stop! Get your hands off of her right now!" A firm voice rang out. Tadashi cursed his luck, before he turned to face his new visitor.
"Ah so it's you again, Moka Akashiya. I'm sorry we can't play right now, you've caught us at a rather bothersome time…" Moka stood firm against the teen's words, but while everyone was focused on Moka, Yukari called out to her.
"Run, please Moka, run or you'll be eaten! Forget about me and run!" But Moka shook her head toward the witch.
"It's alright. I'll put myself on the line for you, Yukari! Don't act so tough, it's okay to ask when you can't do something on your own!" Yukari emitted a 'huh', which prompted Moka to continue. "Be honest! You say you love me, right? But what you really need is someone to be kind to you. And aren't you always playing pranks because you want someone to pay attention to you?"
"What are you talking about Moka? Hurry up and get out of here!" Moka moved toward the young witch slightly, and smiled.
"I understand, you've always been alone haven't you, Yukari? It was tough, wasn't it?" Yukari stared at the vampire in confusion, but still felt that she was connecting with the older teen. "I, too, used to always be alone! That's why I want to help you; that's why I could never leave you alone, Yukari!" Tadashi sneered at the moment between the two girls.
"What are you blathering about? Are you trying to insult us by ignoring us, you arrogant vampire?" As Tadashi moved to close the gap between Moka and himself, there was a low rumbling in the distance. Seconds later a colossal beam of energy consumed the gap between the lizardmen and Moka. All four of the monsters turned their heads as the beam engulfed the turf between them, and when the light died down, they looked around and saw a giant trench in its place. "What the hell was that?"
"That was a warning shot," a distorted voice called out from above the four. The lead lizardman looked up to see a steel-blue being floating in mid-air above them. A few seconds later, Kurumu flew up next to the being.
"Will you ever wait for me, Shō? You know I can't fly nearly as fast as you!" The Guyver rubbed the back of his head.
"Sorry, Kurumu, but I had to do something. These bastards were about to attack Yukari and Moka." Shō and Kurumu descended next to Moka, and in the distraction Yukari slipped from Tadashi's grasp and managed to stand behind the trio. Shō looked over to Moka. "Moka…about earlier…"
"Already forgotten, Shō, especially when you saved us with your giant beam or whatever that was, I didn't know you could use such power attacks."
"I normally don't resort to my mega-smashers, but it got their attention," Shō replied with a grin, which no one could see. He turned to Yukari. "Let me help you too, Yukari. So don't ever think you're alone anymore. You've got me, Moka, and Kurumu to help you out, okay?" The girl nodded slightly, still shocked.
"Are you going to keep ignoring us all day, Fukamachi, or man up and fight?" Tadashi growled out to the Guyver, who just laughed. "Don't take me lightly you weakling, I'll make mince-meat out of you!" Tadashi opened his mouth wide and lunged. Shō braced himself against the ground and grabbed the powerful jaws and threw Tadashi to the wayside. The other two lizardmen followed their leader's advance and attacked. Shō jumped backwards to Moka, and she nodded. He grabbed the rosary from her neck and pulled.
In an overwhelming flash of light and energy, the Inner Moka was released upon the battlefield. She eyed Shō, who was already suited up, and then took a look at the other two lizardmen who were frozen in fear at the sight of her.
"I'll take Tadashi," Shō said to Kurumu and Moka, the silver-haired vampire slightly scoffing at him.
"You leave me the scraps, while you take the main prize, Shō? Do you doubt my powers already?"
"No, but the bastard was about to eat Yukari, and attack you…well the other you. You can have what's left if you really want. Just handle the other two, okay? Kurumu, can you fly Yukari to safety?" Kurumu nodded, and grabbed the witch, despite her protests, and then took off.
Moka took a long, bored look at the two weaker lizardmen, and sighed. 'That damn man, and his pride. I'm surprised he isn't a vampire when people threaten his friends.' The two lizardmen rushed the vampire, but she neatly back-flipped over them, and landed behind them.
"Pathetic monsters…after all, you are the kind of garbage that can only wield power over weaker beings! Know your place!" Moka round-house kicked one into a tree and knocked him out cold. The other lizardman cowered in fear of the vampire, and Moka smiled in malice. "Good-bye." He met sweet black bliss.
With Shō
As Shō landed near where Tadashi had crashed, he kept his guard up. There was a small crater in the ground, but no lizardman to match. The sensory organs on Shō's helm flared in response to danger, and Shō ducked underneath the surprise attack of the class representative.
"Sneaky sneaky," Shō mockingly chastised the lizardman. Tadashi growled at the Guyver and lunged. Shō engaged his arm-blades and slashed at the monster. The lizardman howled in pain as he was cut, but he managed to swipe at Shō, causing the Guyver to spin about and crash into a large boulder. The lizardman rushed the Guyver and tackled him, sending both sprawling. Shō got to his feet, and fired his sonic-oscillators at Tadashi. The monster plowed through the waves like it was nothing, and grabbed Shō by his face and slammed him into the ground.
"Lizards are immune to high-frequency assaults!" Shō growled, but then just smirked.
"It's not like that's my only attack," he told the lizardman, before he activated his head-beam, searing the monster's hand. Tadashi snarled in pain, and then punched Shō with his other hand.
"Bastard, you are even worse than those damn witches." Shō jumped into a flying kick, and sent Tadashi to the ground again. Shō grabbed the monster by his shirt collar and flung him into the same boulder. "You are persistent though!"
"Will you ever give up?" Shō asked as he fired his head-beam at the lizardman, causing him to roar in pain. Shō activated his pressure cannon and struck the spot before the monster's feet, and sent him flying. Shō jumped into the air and landed on top of the beast. "Give?" The monster pushed the Guyver from on top of him, and began clawing at Shō's face. It did nothing to faze the Guyver, as Shō punched the lizardman in the gut.
Tadashi doubled over in pain, and Shō axe-handled the monster's back, sending him into the ground. In a flurry of motion, Shō landed well over a dozen punches at the lizardman, but the thing still ceased to give up. 'When will this end?' Shō thought, as he continued to strike the monster. Tadashi grabbed Shō's arm and whipped the Guyver over his back, causing Shō to make an imprint in the ground.
"I can take much harder hits than that boy. You see, my scales are legendary for their hardness, and I am the only lizardman in this school with them!" Shō just rolled his eyes. 'So he wants harder hits, huh? I guess I could entertain him and bust out something new…' The control medal on Shō's forehead gleamed a brilliant azure, and then what appeared to be two silver-orbs appeared in the inner arms of the Guyver suit, one on each arm. They emitted light in sync with the control medal, and Shō charged the lizardman, and struck him with a right hook. The entire arm hummed with blue energy, and when it collided with the monster, he went flying back. Shō ran next to the spot he had landed.
"That hard enough?" For good measure, the boy axe-handled the beast into the ground, but not realizing his own strength, Shō had noticed he had thrust the beast nearly ten feet below the surface. 'Woops…' Shō heard a faint groan, and then nodded in satisfaction as he released the armor and ran back to Moka.
A few minutes later
After Shō had caught up with and resealed Moka, the couple ran back to the school and found Kurumu sitting and talking with Yukari. Kurumu dashed up from her spot, and tackled into Shō.
"Shō, Moka, are you guys alright?" Kurumu asked worriedly, and Shō answered her with a smile.
"Yes, we're fine, thank you for taking care of her, Kurumu," he replied and kissed her lightly on the cheek. Yukari got up from her spot, and began to walk away. Shō got up and walked over to her at a quicker pace, and put his hand on her shoulder.
"Why…?" was all the witch said.
"Why what?" Shō asked her, and she looked up at him with tears in her eyes.
"After I did such horrible things, why did you come to save me?" Shō looked at her with soft eyes and smiled. I wonder if this is what a little sister is like.
"Because it's what friends are for. You aren't alone anymore Yukari," Shō said smiling at her. The girl looked at him and the tears began to well up faster now.
"You…um…fa…hm…" Yukari tried to get out, but in the end she burst into tears, and Shō fell on his butt from the sudden emotional outburst. He quickly tried to console the young girl, when Moka appeared at his side, and she and the young witch hugged.
Later that night
After a long day Shō entered his room and utterly collapsed on the bed. Wow, what a long day…I still can't believe that the Guyver responded to my urge of powers, it seems like…I'm more in sync with it, both times I had new powers…they were from Gigantic. Oh well, if only I could use the pressure cannon to make a rift to teleport back to my world…but then again…do I really want that? I've been in this world for nearly a year and started here only a few months ago, and there hasn't been any trouble at all. I couldn't just up and leave Kurumu or Moka either…but what good am I doing this world by just sitting at this school? I guess if there was real danger…I would know…'
Suddenly Kurumu came through the door and roused Shō from his thoughts. He looked over at her questioningly, and she smiled slightly.
"How are you doing, Shō?" Kurumu asked him, and he sat up inviting her to sit down with him. "I just wanted to come see how you were."
"I'm doing fine, actually I'm doing a lot better now that all this is behind us, but still there's something that's been gnawing at me…" Shō admitted slowly.
"Which is what?" Kurumu asked him earnestly, Shō took her hand, and sighed.
"I don't know about a lot of things now Kurumu, but one thing is definitely my feelings for you, and even though I don't know what's going to happen in the future, I know for now that my place is here with you and Moka." Kurumu smiled at that.
"Where is all of this coming from, Shō?" she asked. 'It's not that I don't like this side of Shō…but why now?'
"Well, I was just thinking about home, and how I haven't had even the slightest call of trouble from there. It just seems all too surreal you know? I mean don't get me wrong or anything, there is trouble around here, but it's just day-to-day stuff that we can handle no problem…I just feel that something big is going to happen, because in my experience nothing like this lasts forever."
"Well, that's all the more reason to live in the moment and surround yourself with people that care about you," Kurumu replied, and to prove the literal meaning of her words she engulfed Shō in a hug.
"Kurumu, I know that I haven't been the best boyfriend…but I am glad I've gotten to balance my time with you more fairly, but it just seems like it isn't enough…"
"Shō Fukamachi, shush. You are the most amazing guy I have ever met, and I know that you were not used to this whole 'two girlfriend' dating, but I know that you're trying. I just enjoy every moment I'm with you, no matter if I'm your focus or not…although I love being the center of your attention…" Kurumu blushed, and Shō laughed slightly.
"It's hard for you not to be, being only a few inches from my face, but it's a sight that I love," Shō started, "but the real thing, I love…is you Kurumu." Kurumu's grip on him suddenly went tight on Shō's body, and then she spoke.
"I-I love you too…just what prompted you to tell me this…?" Shō rubbed his neck in embarrassment.
"Well I was just thinking of you…and then you showed up, and…blame the moment," was all he said.
"Blame it for what?" she asked, and then she pulled him into a kiss. Shō felt her tender lips upon his, and Kurumu sighed in pleasure as he reciprocated a little harder. The two held it for a while longer, and then parted. Kurumu planted her forehead against Shō's. "You know…when you were talking with Yukari…you would make a great father, Shō…"
"W-what? What do you mean?" Shō sputtered in surprise, which caused the girl to giggle.
"Oh…it just makes my heart throb when I see you acting kind," the succubus told her boyfriend. "However…I think that we should call it a night, but can I crash in here, it's too late for me to make it to the girl's dorms."
"I know…you purposely came just before curfew, didn't you?" Shō asked with a grin, and then Kurumu just nodded playfully. "Well I don't care, you've bunked in here before, just please don't shower with the door open like last time…I don't need another heart attack."
"Oh, tell me with a straight face that you didn't enjoy it," she said with a wink. Shō just rolled his eyes before he shed his shirt and opted to sleep in pants, while Kurumu shed almost everything, sleeping only in her bra and panties, but somehow Shō had gotten used to that. 'Actually…I don' think I'll ever get used to that…'Shō thought as he eyed his girlfriend over. "Quit staring at me, you'll make me blush…"
"Sorry, I just…wow, I mean…goodnight Kurumu…" Shō said, as he crawled into his bed, but he felt Kurumu join him, and just smiled inwardly.
"Night Shō," she whispered, "I love you…"
"You too," Shō whispered back, and they fell asleep.
The following morning
"So did you and Shō have a good night, Kurumu?" Moka asked her rival/friend as they walked from first period. Kurumu blushed. 'How had she known?'
"Yes, we did," was all she said, but Moka knew better.
"And…?" Moka asked, dragging out the word, Kurumu blushed deeper this time and whispered.
"He told me he loved me…" Moka looked back at her, and brought her into a hug.
"That's so great!" Moka gushed, and Kurumu smiled back.
"Yeah I know! And now that Yukari is turning around too, I think the future doesn't look too bad. I mean I heard she apologized in front of her whole class for pulling pranks. Everyone is a bit more thoughtful and it seems she's becoming a bit more sociable."
"That's great; she's really growing up…" Moka trailed off as the two entered the classroom.
"Moka?" Kurumu asked the vampire, until she saw the sight Moka had.
"Shō I love you!" Yukari cried as she was hugging Shō. Both Moka and Kurumu looked on in shock, at the sight.
"Yukari?" They asked simultaneously. The young witch detached herself from Shō and made her way over to the two girls to greet them.
"Oh good morning, I was just admitted to the newspaper club today! So please help me alright?"
"Wait, you're in our club now?" Kurumu asked in puzzlement, and Yukari nodded.
"It's just that I love Moka, so much," and Shō rolled his eyes, knowing full well where this was headed. "And then I fell in love with Shō too!"
"What?" Moka asked the young witch. Yukari beamed with childish delight, and nodded.
"Anyway now we can all be lovey-dovey together!"
"Wait Yukari!" Moka shouted.
"This could be worse…" Shō muttered as he ran from Yukari with Moka. 'Yes…the future looks good indeed…' Kurumu thought sarcastically as she ran to join in the fun, and to pull that little squirt off of her man.
Well it's been a couple months, but I hope that this satisfies you guys. If you haven't checked out Fated Death, I think that it will become a pretty good story, and if you're reading this because you read it, well thanks!
Let's see, nothing else to really pounce on news-wise. Towards Blue Skies is on halt for a while…I just need to really get some storyboarding done with that one…it always seems to be the case for original characters. I'm just stuck with Elijah right now, and don't know where to go with him. Fated Death and this might be my only two stories for a few more chapters, but I will not forget "Towards Blue Skies" I don't think drake would let me…anyways farewell and until next time!
