Chapter 6

"Now, what should I do here with such a beautiful specimen?" the man questioned. "Such nice tits she has. Maybe I should start there? Or maybe I should start with the main feast? Hey, frozen boy! What do you think I should do?"

Snarling at the blasé attitude being presented by the perverse man, Tsukune felt his blood beginning to boil.

"Go to hell you bastard!" he shouted out.

"Ah, so the tits it is!" the man replied with a sadistic grin. "Make sure to keep your eyes open. This will probably be your only chance to see her like this!"

Feeling his muscles tense, Tsukune allowed his anger to flow through him. While he was still alive, no one was going to do anything to Yuki. He would damn well make sure of that. Letting out an unearthly growl, Tsukune felt his body move forwards. It seemed he was working past the limitations placed on his body. Whatever they were, he was bypassing them.

A vicious grin spread across his face, one very uncommon for him, as he sped up and began rushing the man.

"Uh, uh, uh," the man said, wagging his finger in front of him. "You're not allowed to move at all. REMEMBER THAT!"

With the last part being shouted, Tsukune felt his body freeze again. Falling face first towards the ground, he could only listen to the sounds that were around him. Unable to see Yuki and the bastard, he tried to focus himself and once again move. However, it felt as if a weight, nearly five times what he had experienced before, was placed on top of him, inhibiting his movement and preventing him from even lifting himself up.

"What the hell is this?" he ground out.

His foe seemed to hear him as a pair of filthy grey boots appeared in his peripheral vision.

"Ah, you want a lesson before I start? Sure thing, I don't see why I can't let you know," the man's voice was sickeningly sweet. "Oh that's right. You'll use it against me. Nice try ass-wipe!"

A sudden pain shot through Tsukune's side as he was forcibly rolled over by a nasty kick from the deranged man. Staring up at the redheaded fiend, the teen grit his teeth viciously.

"No way, you're not getting to make those nasty faces to me. Nope, nope, nope. I want you to take a very good, long, look at this fine specimen here. I told you that you'd have to watch, did I not?"

His comments seemed to be nonsensical and Tsukune was about to verbally lash out, when Yuki was placed before him. Clearly, she was suffering the same thing he was, but here, he could see that it was angering her and scaring her at the exact same time. Her eyes were watering from the emotions flowing through her and Tsukune wanted nothing more than to reach out and comfort her. However, at the rate things were going, there was nothing that he could do.

"Finally realizing just how fruitless your situation here is, are you?" the man asked. "Well, good. Now let's get on with the main even."

As soon as he finished speaking, his hands snaked along Yuki's body, stopping just under her breasts. Leaning his head over her shoulder, the bound teen could see that his grin was getting larger. Scowling in response, Tsukune started to try and mouth out calming and comforting words to Yuki, but even then he knew that it would do no good. Things had gone so far to hell that there was absolutely no way he could figure to get out of it.

"Ah, what a nice bra you have! Pink with a striped pattern? I never would have expected you to be wearing something this cute," the man crowed as Tsukune watched one of his wands worm its way under Yuki's shirt and unhook the article of clothing.

Cursing his ineptitude and praying that somehow he'd be able to stop this, Tsukune continued to struggle against the power holding him down.

"STOP!" a feminine voice commanded.

Eyes freezing in place, Tsukune couldn't understand what was going on. The man who was viciously attempting to rape Yuki had frozen in place, much like he was. Stunned by what he saw, Tsukune didn't even feel Sera as she dragged him away from the spot and over to Eu and Haruna.

He didn't clue in to what had just happened until a soft voice commanded him to be able to move again, returning Tsukune's control over his body. Turning to see who had helped him, he was stunned to see the three girls from the house there. And all of them looked ready for a fight.

However, nothing compared to seeing Yuki lying on the ground near Eu. The fact that she was there with them, and no longer in the clutches of the monster that they were facing, gave Tsukune some encouragement.

"So, now we go and tear this bastard apart, right?" Tsukune asked as he stood up.

"Yeah, though I believe Haruna has something that you'll want to use," Sera offered calmly.

However, her voice did hold the remnants of worry that she must have felt. It warmed Tsukune to know that, despite their recent issues, she cared.

"Ayumu catch!" Haruna called out, bringing Tsukune out of his thoughts.

Narrowly avoiding the metallic object thrown at him, Tsukune stared dumbly at the chainsaw. What was he supposed to do with this? That question was the only thing coherent within his mind as he stared at the tool.

"Hurry up Ayumu! Recite the words and fight!" Haruna yelled at him. "The bad guy is almost moving again! Hurry up!"

Tsukune didn't do anything at Haruna's urging. He had absolutely no idea what he was supposed to say or do. Whatever words belonged to the activation of this thing, well, they sure weren't running through Tsukune's mind.

"Hurry up boy. I now you're not the same one, but you'll be able to use me all the same. Just repeat the words I tell you to," an oddly masculine voice echoed inside Tsukune's head.

Nodding dumbly, the teen grabbed the chainsaw and soon heard the words he needed to recite. Opening his mouth, he spoke up.

"Nomobuyo, Oshi, Hashitawa, Dokeda, Gunmicha, De Ribura!" he yelled out.

As soon as the last syllable had left his lips, Tsukune felt something start to shift around him. Intense magical power started to course through him and he suddenly felt completely reinvigorated. His body no longer felt as drained as it had from his efforts to stand. He felt like a fresh person.

Once the wave of magic stopped, the teen did notice that his clothes had changed. Looking down, Tsukune let out a frightened shriek at the sight. For some reason, he was no longer wearing his school uniform; instead he was dressed in a frilly pink dress. Shifting slightly, he could even identify that his underwear had changed as well.

'I'm wearing panties!' he thought in a panic.

Dropping the chainsaw, he tried to think of what could have caused this shift. Remembering that he had just recited a certain set of words to the tool, he whirled on it.

"What the hell! Why am I wearing a girl's outfit?" he screamed out, startling Haruna, who was watching in the background.

"Ayumu!" Sera called out, catching the teen's attention through the use of a name. "This is normal for you. Just go with it and attack that monster. I'll be right behind you, damn insect!"

Pushing his discomfort with the new outfit aside for the sake of focusing on the man who started this, Tsukune picked the chainsaw back up and ran towards him. Reaching his position, the teen revved up the tool and prepared to bring it down upon his foe, only to find that he had disappeared.

"Looking for me?" his voice called out from behind them. "Well then, look over here!"

Whirling around, Tsukune caught sight of his foe tauntingly balancing himself on one foot near the edge of the pathway. His eyes alight with dark mischief. Gripping the chainsaw tighter, Tsukune charged towards him again. Eyes focused solely on his foe, the teen attempted to reach the man, the chainsaw being swung out as if it was an extension of his arm.

Missing his target, Tsukune was about to let another bout of frustration run through him when Sera appeared behind the man and unleashed her own attack.

"Swallow Reverse Strike!" she yelled out as her sword swung down towards the man.

"Ohoho, that's not going to get me as easily as you'd think," he cackled as he dodged. "You're going to have to try harder than that!"

Tsukune took advantage of this moment and pushed forwards again. Clutching the chainsaw more like a sword, he dove in with the intent of slashing his foe. Getting close, he believed that he would be able to make blow, but was surprisingly blocked by Sera's own blade.

"What the hell are you doing?" she questioned him.

Her anger painted her face a terrifying color, but Tsukune wasn't in the mood to deal with that. Their foe had once again eluded them and it was proving to be a frustrating tactic of his.

"How is he doing that?" Tsukune inquired, not expecting an answer.

A gasp from Sera caused Tsukune to look up and realize that the man had landed over near Eu, Haruna and Yuki. Fury coursed through the teen at that sight. He was not going to get them, he was not going to get them!

With his body pushing itself even further, he didn't realize the changes that were occurring to the outfit he was wearing. Speeding up, he didn't see the extra bows and frills appear. He didn't feel his power increasing; he only felt his desire to stop this man before anything could happen.

Coming up close to him, he once again swung the chainsaw out, this time with a satisfying crunch as it collided with his ribs. The blood spray that followed satisfied the teen even further as he revved the chainsaw. Pushing the swinging motion of the weapon through, Tsukune gave a satisfied look as he watched the man go flying.

As soon as he did that, his body felt extremely tired. Emotionally and physically, he felt drained. Collapsing to his knees, he used the chainsaw as a crutch, watching to make sure that his foe would not stir. To his disappointment, a disturbing cackling burst from the tattered body of their foe. Sitting up, the bleeding form focused its eyes on Tsukune.

"Ah, such a pervert, dressing like a woman. Who would've thought that you'd be the one to bring Daisuke Ichikawa down," he laughed. "Well, you won't get that lucky twice!"

His voice pierced Tsukune. It was true; the teen was exhausted after that second strike. He wasn't used to whatever this power was and it was going to be his undoing. No, he wouldn't accept that. Gripping the chainsaw tightly, he forced himself back into a standing position.

His exhaustion was evident on his face as he attempted to put up a bold front. His eyes reflected his determination, despite his current state.

"Oh, you've got a strong will boy! That excites me. Despite your perversions, I cannot help, but respect that!" Daisuke shouted out. "Let's go for another round. Though, your lovely companions have to sit this out."

It was a stupid challenge. One that Tsukune knew he shouldn't accept, but something within him was urging him to accept. Giving into that urging, the teen spoke out.

"I accept your terms. You and me, no one else interferes!"

"Agreed, where do you want to fight?"

The sensible question coming from the psychotic man startled Tsukune. What shifted his attitude? Why was he no longer attempting to go after Yuki? What was wrong with him?

"Ah, I must also apologize. I'd never go after a woman the way I did while in my right mind. My bloodlust can sometimes get the better of me and I want to issue a formal apology to the lovely girl," he continued speaking, startling the entire group.

'Definitely schizophrenic,' Tsukune thought. Looking at the faces of the others, it seemed to be the unanimous belief.

"So, when and where do you want to fight? I'd rather have a great battle on even grounds rather than this brutality that we inflicted upon the pathway."

Tsukune wanted to collapse right then and there. This guy was truly psychotic. He first attempts to rape Yuki and then act as if it was a grave mistake due to an unnatural bloodlust. Looking to Sera, he could see that she was just as confused by the guy's shift in attitude as he was.

"Accept it you damn insect. You might as well take whatever advantage you can get. You're currently in no shape to be fighting any longer."

Sera's words rang true as Tsukune took a good look at himself. Even though the hideous outfit wasn't tattered or torn and he had no obvious injuries, the mental and physical fatigue was very real.

"Yeah, I'll accept your offer. However, I'm not sure where…" as Tsukune was agreeing to the terms, Sera interrupted him.

"The graveyard a few blocks away. You'll fight there. It's away from the residential areas and will allow you two to fight to your heart's content."

"Agreed, I will see you there at the stroke of midnight." Daisuke said with a ridiculous bow. "Until then, live well."

The last two words showed the personality that Tsukune had started off facing. Sending chills down his spine, the teen finally allowed himself to collapse to the ground; the pink, frilly outfit dissipating and leaving him naked on the ground. As his exhaustion started to spread further through him, he just couldn't find it in himself to care.

"Stupid pervert, get some clothes on," Haruna's voice seemed distant as he contemplated what he should do next.

"Just let me sleep for now," he said. "I'm not feeling very…"

Tsukune soon collapsed afterword, not even noticing Yuki and Sera rushing towards him.

"I'll give you one more chance to release him before I get serious," the hooded man said darkly.

Ayumu mentally pleaded with the man holding him to listen to the other one. He didn't want to be used as a human shield, which he knew would happen if nothing was done. There were many things that could go wrong with being in that position and being fatally injured seemed to reside at the top.

"Hmm, I think I'll just keep him with me for the time being," Ayumu's captor chuckled. "I'd always heard that the chairman of Youkai Academy was a powerful figure. I kind of want to check out your power myself."

"Suit yourself," the hooded man replied. "You'll regret it though."

"I'd like to see you try," Ayumu's captor answered.

As soon as the words were out of his mouth, the fight was on. With a sadistic smirk, Ayumu's captor stretched out his empty hand and unleashed a collection of energy waves towards the chairman. In response, he easily erected barriers that stopped each and every one of the attacks. In retaliation, the chairman placed a barrier around the other man, holding him in place.

"Aikawa, wriggle your way out!" he yelled out, catching Ayumu's attention.

"Eh?" was the response Ayumu gave.

He couldn't understand the reasoning behind the request. Wriggling his way out wouldn't do much for him. Well, maybe it would help get him out, but he highly doubted his captor would not notice it. Especially since the action was yelled at his captor just as much as it was him.

Beneath the hood, Ayumu could still see the chairman's eyes glow a fierce red. However, the smirk on his face signified something that Ayumu didn't want to think about. The call to wriggle his way out had to be part of the plan. A plan that, as usual, Ayumu just had to go along with.

'Why does no one ever explain anything to me?' he pondered.

Deciding that this wasn't an important thing to be dealing with at the moment, Ayumu did the only thing that he could think of. And that was following the chairman's orders and starting to wriggle.

"Not going to work you know," his captor sighed. "Anyways, I'm going to show both of you exactly what I can do with my powers."

Lifting his empty hand again, he let it start forming energy around it. Waves upon waves started flowing around his hand until it seemed like it would explode. Ayumu thought it looked very similar to Kyoko when she had built up the immense energy around her own body.

'Only this time, it isn't tearing apart his body,' he mused.

Once the energy seemed to be at its breaking point, the man pointed his hand at the slightly shimmering barrier and unleashed it. As the energy collided with the barrier it tore straight through, careening towards the chairman.

The energy continued on its destructive path, heading straight through all the chairman's barriers and finally connecting with him.

"Aha! I did it!" Ayumu's captor cheered, raising his arms into the air.

It was at this moment that Ayumu realized why the chairman ordered him to start wriggling. He fell right out of his arms and landed on his rear end. Yelping lightly in shock, he soon scrambled across the ground and away from both of the fighting men.

The chairman seemed to notice and gave him a discreet grin, the blood dripping from his wounds making the look creepier than it should've been. Ignoring that, he struggled to move further away. He needed a chance to figure out what to do. He didn't know how strong this body was, or what he could do with it. There were a lot of unknowns and he didn't know what to do.

"I just can't leave him there," he growled out. "What can I do?"

"Tsukune, what's going on?" a female voice asked him, bringing his attention to the cyan haired girl before him. "I saw Ruby pass through the campus with an injured Mizore. What's happening?"

Looking at her, he let out a sigh of relief. Help had inadvertently arrived.

"Kurumu, thank God you're here," he said with a relieved smile. "The chairman's fighting the guy who injured Mizore. I just don't know whether he can handle him on his own."

"What?" the succubus gasped. "What are you talking about? How can he not handle something?"

The panic in her voice was very disheartening. If she didn't understand how he could be losing, then there was no hope for her assistance.

"Do you know where to find Moka then?" he asked her.

This seemed to rile up the succubus, as her cheeks puffed out in indignation. She huffed and pushed her chest outwards (drawing Ayumu's attention to her ample bust) and gave him a glare.

"You may have lost your memory Tsukune, but please remember that I will always be a better help to you than that vampire."

Ayumu grinned at that. Jealousy could be a powerful tool if used correctly and here, Ruby's information proved to be very valuable indeed.

"Well then, I'll also need a reminder on how I fight because I have absolutely no idea."

His wide grin seemed to cause a blush to spread across the succubus' face as she followed after him. Arriving back in the clearing, the two were dumbfounded to find the chairman sitting atop the unconscious form of the man that had attacked.

"Hmm, oh Aono, it's nice to see you back here. And you brought some help with you? I'm so sorry for taking away your prize then. I'll leave any others to you though."

His blithe comment was the most unnerving thing that had been put before Ayumu. Deciding never to cross the man, he gave a nervous laugh at his comment before focusing his attention on the man.

"What will you do with him?" he asked.

Ayumu didn't notice Kurumu's dark look as she stared at the man.

"Did he attack Mizore?" she asked, startling Ayumu.

Turning to face the cyan-haired girl, he could see the darkness swirling on her face. Her mouth was turned into a frown and her eyes were narrowed into a glare. Ayumu had experienced this himself and it had terrified him then. The fact that Kurumu's fingernails were extending and sharpening didn't help either.

"Kurumu, you need to calm down," he encouraged. "Mizore should be alright, right?"

His question hung in the air and the chairman seemed to try and ignore it.

"She'll be fine, right?" Ayumu repeated.

Even though she was very hostile towards him, he didn't want to see her dead. The only person he had ever wanted to see dead was Kyoko, and possibly the King of the Night. In fact, he had almost killed Kyoko too, if Dai-sensei hadn't interrupted.

Pushing that thought out of his mind, he focused on the chairman. He needed an answer from him. He needed an answer.

"She'll suffer some permanent damage. That's a guarantee," the chairman began solemnly. "However, she will recover. I'll expect her to be out and about in six or seven days."

Kurumu seemed to be very angry with that answer. Ayumu couldn't blame her. However, there was nothing that could've been done. The attack had been a surprise and Mizore being targeted the way she was had also been a surprise.

"Kurumu, let's go see if we can be there for her," he offered. "Attacking this man won't do anything. It's safer to leave him with the chairman."

Ayumu knew that his words probably wouldn't bring the comfort he was intending them to. Yet, he knew that the latter portion was true. If, in the time period that he had run away, the chairman easily defeated the man, then he was the best choice to keep him under watch.

"Alright," Kurumu agreed, a sigh of relief escaping from Ayumu. "We'll go be there for her. And, as much as I hate to say it, your presence will be good for her."

Despite his disbelief about her appreciating him being there, he wouldn't disagree. Now was not the time to make an issue of it. Giving Kurumu a smile, he allowed her to lead him away to the infirmary.

"You can come out now Ariel," Mikogami said with a sigh. "They've left."

Stepping out from the tree line, the Masou Shoujo instructor gave a small smile.

"I felt the presence of another where Aono and my group are. I still need to check up on them, but if their foe is as powerful as Aikawa's, then I think you'll need to come as well."

Mikogami rubbed his face underneath his hood. This was much more stressful than he imagined.

"Who would've believed that humans without any youki or a connection to your side of the supernatural realm would be able to wield such power that it took both of us to down one," he said. "Hunters they call themselves. I hope that their prey can get strong enough without relying on us."

Ariel nodded her agreement. Even though this was technically a war for the adults within the supernatural realms, both of their groups of young ones would be pulled into it. Kicking and screaming seemed like the way it would go.

"I suggest taking Aikawa and training him. I'll find someone to train Aono as well," Ariel finally spoke up. "We'll need them to all be at the top of their game."

"It's too late to easily switch them back, isn't it?" Mikogami inquired tiredly.

"Yes, the magic won't work for quite a while still. Even if we could, I doubt it would make much of a difference. From the sounds of it, Aono was never taught anything about seals and what can be done with them. Nor was he exposed to the other lessons you'd have in store for him."

"And Aikawa has no idea about the weapon he had by his side. Though, I doubt Aono would willingly use her that way."

"Only time will tell. Only time will tell," Ariel finished.

"Yes, now let us be off. This man needs to be eliminated before he can cause any more harm."

"And we need to go help my group. Do you think the school will be fine without you?"

"Of course, I've left my best man in charge," Mikogami said with a sly smile. "Now off we go."

With that, he picked up his prisoner and started away from the battlefield. Ariel followed behind him, her eyes scanning the sky for anything that could signal further enemies.

End Chapter 6

A/N: Chapter 6 is done! This was a somewhat difficult chapter to write. I encountered some issues with the start. However, after speaking with another writer (a friend of mine) it helped to get things flowing and before I knew it, voila! Now, before anyone gets upset, I want to say that I needed this original character to be a psychotic pervert. Tsukune is only motivated to extremes by his friends being put into the path of immense harm. In this case, he's experiencing someone trying to rape one of his friends. This is something I cannot remember him facing before, but with Tsukune's personality, he would probably go ballistic. And so, I wrote that. Also, I know that his reaction to the Masou Shojou outfit was subdued, but next chapter it will explode. And Ayumu, well that one was actually easier to write this time around, though the fallout and developments with Mizore will begin next chapter. So, I hope you all enjoyed this chapter (the longest one so far) and until next time,
