Chapter 7

Youkai Academy Hallways. Afternoon.

Haru walked out of the infirmary, bandages in hand and doubt in his mind.

It had only been some hours since he and the others encountered the woman from the Public Safety Commission, and the five found themselves back in the Newspaper Club room, to face an angry Gin.

He had heard of what they did, and rushed into the room, furious at how they disobeyed him and raised a hand against the PSC, and how they needed to go to the leader, Kuyou, and apologize.

Haru rubbed the back of his neck, shrugging his sword-holding bag back in its place.. Even in the midst of the chaos, Yukari and the girls tried to help Tsukune's wounds, which didn't seem to heal like it should've. If Tsukune's true form is revealed, nothing good will come from it, he thought. And to make things worse, only Moka and I know of his secret. If it gets out, it'll make things harder for my revenge. Maybe tonight, I'll go and destroy the PSC before they make things compli-.

"Uematsu Haru!" someone called out.

Haru stopped, and turned around.

Behind him was a man, dressed in PSC uniform. Most of the students around Haru began to back away in fear. The man grinned, confident in his position.

"Great." Haru said. "Another lamb to the slaughter…"

"Uematsu Haru," the man repeated. "You are under arrest for assaulting a member of the Public Safety Commission. As we speak, my comrades are arresting the rest of your pathetic club, and by now, we have then all. You will come with me to face judgment."

Haru stretched out his arms and yawned. "So…" he said, "the bug crawled back home and delivered the message? Nice to know."

The man's fists clenched. "Bastard…" he said, "No one harms our own, even if it's Keito-san." He reached into his jacket and pulled out a small wooden katana. "You know what? Forget taking you to Headquarters, you can face judgment here!" He lunged towards an unmoving Haru, readying an attack. "For your crimes, you must pay!"

But before he could land a hit, Haru grabbed him by the collar, kneed him in the stomach, and raised the man in the air.

Haru glared at the man, paying little attention to the crowd that stood in shock by his outburst.

"Sorry," he said. "I seemed to have left my wallet in my dorm. Will this count?"

He then kicked in the air, landing a blow to the man's head, knocking him out.

Haru turned around as the man fell to the ground, unconscious.

One of the students in the crowd walked to him, checking his pulse. "Uematsu," he said, "what did you do?"

Haru picked up the bandages that fell to the ground in the midst of the chaos. "What anyone should've done ages ago."

He then ran towards the Newspaper Club's HQ, hoping to catch the others in time.

Haru could see a crowd of students disperse from the Club's entrance. He pulled some of them aside. "What happened?" he asked.

One of them, a girl, replied, "T-The Public Safety Commission just left here with Moka-san and Tsukune-kun. Did they really attack one of their own?"

Haru looked away, "Yeah," he said. "She attacked us, and we retaliated back. Nothing left to say about it. Anything else?"

Another student looked down. "They say…" he began, "they say that Tsukune-kun is really a human! A real human!"

Haru's eyes widened. "What?"

The student continued. "They made the accusation, and then took the two away. The rest of the club is inside, I don't know anything else."

Haru paused, nodded, and then walked towards the classroom.

"Hey," the girl said, "Is it true? Is Tsukune-kun really a human?"

Haru turned around. "No," he lied. "He may act like it sometimes, but his true form says different. The PSC's just need someone to blame."

He walked in to see Kurumu, Gin, and Yukari standing around, lost in thought.

"Haru-san!" Yukari said. "Tsukune! Moka-san! They were-"

"I know." Haru said, closing the door. "I just got ambushed by one of them, and some student just told me what happened. What's the plan?"

Gin looked at him. "Plan?" he said. "There is no plan. We're gonna leave it alone."

Haru looked at him. "What?" he said, "You're just gonna stand there and do nothing?"

"What can we do?" Kurumu said. "Their leader, he… I felt his aura, and it's overwhelming! Even if we did something, he'll just kill us! And Tsukune, being a human…"

"And you believe that?" Haru said. "You actually believe someone who just tried to make you fear them? What the hell is wrong with you?"

"But, it makes sense!" Yukari said. "Tsukune's wounds… they didn't heal as fast as any monster's would. What else is there?"

"Whatever we do, it'll just make things worse." Gin said. "Perhaps if we disown them, it may help us in the end…"

Haru clenched his fists, not believing what he heard.

"I knew it." Haru said. "You're all pathetic."

Kurumu looked at him. "What did you just say?!" she shouted.

Haru stared down at her. "It's the truth. Right now, as we speak, our friends are in danger, possibly being tortured, and you won't even bother saving them? You're all just as weak as when I first saw you…" He turned and faced the door. "Fine, if you won't save them, then I will. One thing that ties friendship and the code of a warrior is that no matter what the circumstance, you never abandon your comrades. But apparently, you know nothing about that." He grabbed his bag and moved it closer to his neck, and started walking.

"Haru-san!" Kurumu said, shaken by his words. "Tsukune's a human being. Doesn't that mean anything?"

Haru turned to face them all. "I know." he said. "Like Moka, I've known since the beginning that he's a human, and it's never bothered me at all."

Kurumu and Yukari stared at him, shocked at the revelation. You knew? Yukari thought.

Haru opened the door. "Wait here." he said, "I'll bring them back, and end this once and for all." He walked out, leaving the three behind.

Damn damn DAMN! Haru thought, rage in his eyes, and blood boiling inside. Just when things couldn't get worse, Tsukune gets himself and Moka in danger once again. But, how did the PMC's find out Tsukune's secret? Someone must've told them, and now they're holding the two hostage. Well, as soon as I get there, they'll understand what happens to those who stand in my way.

Haru walked outside the building, sensed Moka's faint aura, and took off.

* * * * * *

Heihachi couldn't believe what had just happened.

Not long after Kuyou and some of the others brought those who had attacked Keito earlier, the beautiful Akashiya Moka, and the suspected human, Aono Tsukune, he and the other members celebrated their victory in a giant room far from the entrance with some confiscated goods from their other bribes, while Kuyou took the prisoners to a room far from there.

As they brought out the beer, one of them noticed a figure walk towards them from the outside. As it got closer, they could see that the man wore the academy uniform, a long bag over his shoulder, with big, black, spiky hair, a solitary bang covering most of his face. They then recognized him as one of the members of the Newspaper Club, Uematsu Haru.

Heihachi walked back. "Circle him." he said to nearby comrades, "don't give him a chance to escape."

Most of the PSC's did so, and Haru found himself surrounded by enemies all over.

"So…" one of the PSC's said, "you're here at last. Where is Ishimura?"

"You mean the fool from earlier?" Haru asked. "He tried 'enforcing' the law, and ended up with a bruise on his head. Kinda felt bad about it for a second, but now that's all over. I'm here for my friends."

Another PSC growled. "Who do you think you are, some damn hero? What makes you think you can take on the Public Safety Commission by yourself?"

"Clearly, he's too stupid to realize his place." another said.

Haru grunted. "You sound like someone I know." he said, "And she's a hell of a lot stronger than all of you."

"Enough banter." Heihachi said, "You will now face judgment for your crimes. You cannot hope to escape from us!"

Haru glared at all of them. "A true man does not run from anything." he asked. "But, seeing as how you brought it up, I'll give you this chance: Turn around, renounce your devotion to this piece of shit group, and I'll let you go unharmed. What say you?"

One of them clenched his fists. "You think you're better than us? You think you can take us all on?" He lunged at Haru. "It's time you understood who you're dealing with!"

He raised his fist, and sent it to Haru's face with all his might.

He felt it hit Haru, but it didn't even seem to faze him.

Haru looked at him. "Well, don't say I didn't warn you." He brushed the man's fist away, and punched him in the stomach, forcing him to hit a far away wall with full force.

The others looked at the aftermath, and then at Haru, who lowered his bag, and unzipped it.

"Y-you bastard…" a girl said, "You would dare attack us again? You must die!" She lunged forth, claws coming out of her hands, turning into her true form.

But Haru, without flinching, pulled out his sword, and slashed at the girl, sending her to the ceiling.

"W-what?!" Heihachi said. "That's a sword! Weapons aren't permitted in the grounds!"

"Oh, really?" Haru said. "Gee, I didn't know that. Why don't you come over here and try to take it away?"

"Grr." Heihachi said, his blood boiling, "GET HIM!"

Each and every one of the PSC attacked, reaching only a jacket floating in the air. As they tried to make sense of the situation, some of the members screamed in pain as Haru, in full form, slashed and sliced through the crowds, blood spilling around the floor, monsters falling left and right. And the scary thing was, no one could stop him, let alone see him. The angel moved so fast, that any who were lucky to see him, soon felt his masamune cut their skin, and sending them flying.

Heihachi stood there, frightened. What, he thought, panicking and ducking for cover as his comrades fell to the ground, what IS he!?

Then, he felt a powerful aura appear from the side, as he turned to see Haru slice forward in unbelievable speed.

Kurumu, Yukari, and Gin had finally made it to the Headquarters.

After Haru had left, they sat quietly for a short while, letting the sting of Haru's cold words sink into their subconscious. Not long after, Kurumu got up, announcing that she intended to help Haru, and with Yukari, left Gin alone in the classroom. When they reached outside, and found the over looming gate in the entrance. They then noticed that Gin managed to reach them, still trying to make them turn away. But Kurumu, her hand on her chest, told Gin that even if Tsukune was a human, she didn't care. She still cared for him, and didn't intend to leave him alone to die. Yukari agreed, saying that she felt the same way about it as well. Gin, seeing their devotion, decided to help them take on the PSC's.

As they entered the building, they walked through the empty hallways, hearing not a sound but the students that were imprisoned by Kuyou and the rest, each for different reasons.

"Remember," Gin said, "we find Moka-san and Tsukune, get them out, and take out anything that stands in our way. Nothing else, or it'll be the end for all of us. Deal?"

"Of course." Kurumu said. "I didn't plan on anything else."

They continued walking, until they reached the building where the group was rumored to gather during meetings. The three paused at the doors, feeling the adrenaline as Gin reached for the door handle.

"Where do you think the others are?" Yukari asked. "Shouldn't they be all around the building?"

"Maybe Haru's taking care of them." Gin said. "Or maybe they're all inside this room. Either way, be careful. These guys will not hold back. Not even Kuyou."

The girls nodded, and the three busted through the door, as they stared in horror at what they saw.

The place was almost covered in blood. Bodies were piled up, lying all around the floor, none of them moving an inch. The girls looked away, feeling sick, as Gin looked ahead, a look of terror creeping up on his face by what he saw.

Haru, his sword drawn and covered in blood, raising a bloody PSC in the air with one hand, wings outstretched.

"Oh, God," Gin said. "What the hell?"

Haru looked at them. "Oh," he said, "what a surprise. You decided to show up."

Yukari hid behind Gin. "What…" she said, terrified, "what did you do to them?"

Haru bowed his head. "What I intended to do when these bastards showed their faces. Take them out and make them wish they never messed with us. Didn't you hear?"

"But," Kurumu said, trying not to throw up, "you didn't have to kill them!"

Haru looked at her, puzzled. "Kill them?" he asked. "Don't make me laugh. These pests aren't worth my time killing them. They're just unconscious from the beating they received. By the time they get up, they'll feel like they were hit by a thousand trucks all at once. Probably won't move around for a while, but they'll live."

Gin stood there, speechless. He was right, he thought. Haru really IS something else!

Haru looked back at the PSC, who was still gasping for air. "You're just in time." he said, "This guy just gave me the answers I was looking for. Now, why don't you be a good man and tell them what you just told me?"

Heihachi trembled, breathing rapidly. "A-after we found out about Keito-san," he said, "Kuyou-san w-was furious. He wanted to walk up to the Newspaper Club, and destroy them once and for all. But then, a-a woman appeared, and suggested to Kuyou-san that he shouldn't right away. S-she even told him that one of them might be a human!"

"Her name." Haru said. "Tell them who it was."

Heihachi blinked. "I-It was Ishigami-sensei!"

Kurumu gasped. "Ishigami?" she asked. "The woman who tried to turn Tsukune and Moka into statues?"

"Yeah," Haru said, turning to the others. "She probably wants revenge from earlier, and figured to send Kuyou and his lapdogs at our weak spot. Kind of clever for one of such overwhelming stupidity." He looked at Heihachi, who was still helpless to escape. "Congratulations. I've decided to let you and your friends live. But on one condition, when your friends wake up, you convince them to leave this group, never look back, and tell anyone who would want to join Kuyou that such a decision will lead to death, because next time you try to attack us, I'll not be so charitable. Understand?"

Heihachi nodded.

"Good." Haru forced him to the ground, and kicked his head, knocking Heihachi out cold.

Yukari stepped forward. "I don't get it." she said. "How did Ishigami find out about Tsukune's true form?"

Haru looked around the floor. "Maybe she recognized the taste when she bit Tsukune at the time. It would make sense." He grabbed a nearby jacket, and cleaned the blood off his blade. "Alright." he said. "Kuyou and Ishigami are probably elsewhere. I'll go find them, and finish this. You stay here, and try not to touch anything."

"Forget it!" Gin said. "We're coming with you!"

Haru turned to face them. "No," he said. "You'll just slow me down. I'm better off alone."

"Well, too bad!" Yukari said. "We're going with you, and nothing's going to change that. You may think we're weak, but we're not going to stand still while you go off and play hero! We're going to help, and nothing you do will change that!"

"Oh really?" Haru said. "Give me one reason why I should let you come with me at all. One good reason."

Kurumu walked up to Haru, getting close to him. "Earlier, you said that we were pathetic and weak, that we didn't seem to care about our Tsukune and Moka, but you're wrong. So what if Tsukune is a human, so what if you and Moka kept his secret from us all, we don't care. We care for Tsukune, and nothing will change that. It's like you said before, the bond of friendship and the code of a warrior have one thing in common: No matter what, you don't abandon your friends. Remember? And I think I speak for everyone when I say that none of us are going to abandon them now."

Haru looked away for a minute, taking in the speech. He then turned to the others. "Fine. Keep close to me, and try not to make things worse. Understand?"

Kurumu and the rest nodded, and walked with Haru as they crossed through the bloody room.

Tsukune felt like he was dead.

Not long after the PSC's brought Tsukune and Moka in, Kuyou proceeded to beat them up without mercy. It was just after that that Ishigami showed her face, revealing to the two how Kuyou knew about Tsukune's true form. After that, they were sent to a room where Ishigami and Kuyou stayed in while the rest of the PSC left to celebrate.

After a while, Tsukune and Moka sat idly by, as the two vengeful beings argued over who got to kill them first. Ishigami wanted revenge, while Kuyou wanted to prove that no one messed with his group and got away with it, letting the two students regain only a little of their strength.

Kuyou conjured up a spit of fire in his hand. "Now that we know that Tsukune is human," he said, a terrifying look on his face, "we have plenty of reason to destroy the Newspaper Club. That useless lot must be killed according to law, and that is my duty as an academy police officer."

"Forget it, Kuyou," Ishigami said, "They ruined my reputation, I get to kill them first!"

"I don't think so."

Kuyou sent a stream of fire at the students, causing a small but powerful explosion their way. Ishigami covered her eyes from the bright flash. Damn you…

As the smoke cleared, they saw that Moka had managed to get Tsukune out of the way, yet still couldn't seem to get up.

So, Ishigami thought, she woke up and protected Tsukune, not bad. This has become even more of a spectacle than I expected…

Tsukune slowly budged. "Mo…Moka-san…" he said almost quietly.

Moka looked at him. "Tsukune, take my rosario off."

Tsukune looked at her, puzzled.

"It'll be ok." Moka said, smiling. "Even if everyone knows you're a human, it'll be all right. Because I'll be protecting you, Tsukune. I'll protect you no matter what."

Tears began to flow down her face as she finished. Tsukune felt his eyes get watery as well.

He tried to reach for her rosario, but couldn't find the strength to pull it off, as his hand fell to the ground.

Oh, no, Moka thought. Could it be he doesn't have enough energy left to pull it off?

Tsukune could barely see anything, let alone speak. He felt like he was at death's door, and yet he continued to hold on, trying to keep himself in this world.

Moka held on to him. How awful! Why did this have to happen? Tsukune…

"Foolish woman." Kuyou said, walking up to her. "Do you understand what you're doing? You realize that boy is a human, don't you? Saving him despite knowing that makes you nothing but a traitor to all monsters…" He laughed as he felt his power grow. "What you are doing is a serious act of treason against the academy! That's more than enough to warrant the death penalty! With my fire I'll leave no evidence that scum like you ever existed!"

Moka held on to Tsukune, bracing for the pain she would experience. But before Kuyou could throw more fire at them, he saw something tug on his arm, and saw vines holding on to him.

"Come on," a woman's voice said. "you can't rely on Moka all the time, you know."

Moka looked up to see Kurumu, in full form, stand between them and Kuyou. "I knew you'd be in trouble without me." she continued.

Kurumu-chan! Moka thought. So, you did come to save us…

Yukari ran towards them stopping near Tsukune. "Oh, no," she said. "Tsukune has horrible injuries, I have to put medicine on him right away!"

Moka looked at her. "You too, Yukari!"

Ishigami sneaked off, trying to escape from the growing dilemma.

Kuyou looked at the vine. He thought it was holding him back, yet no matter how he tried to burn it, it wouldn't break. He then realized that it was an illusion, and cast it aside. "A phantom trick!" he said. "Ridiculous, trying to halt me with a child's trick…"

Kurumu panicked. "Oh, crap! He's responding with his own magic!"

Kuyou screamed. "I'll burn you all into ashes!"

Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain hit his back as he stumbled to regain control. He looked up to see Haru fly through a hole in the ceiling to attack him, as Kuyou dodged his sword strikes.

"Wh-what is this!?" Kuyou shouted.

"Hmph." Haru said. "Seems not all of the PSC is entirely incompetent…" He backed away to Moka and the rest, raising his sword.

"You… YOU!" Kuyou said, conjuring up another fireball in his hand.

"Hey, hey, hey," another voice said behind him. "What's going on here? You really turned this into a big mess now…"

Kuyou turned to see Gin relaxing in the doorway, fists clenched.

"Humpf," Kuyou said, smiling. "Now how about this… You've all gathered to bear you fangs at the likes of me. Why!? I am the justice at this academy! Have you all gone mad?"

Gin rushed at him, turning into his werewolf form. "Maybe so, but sorry, I can't lose my friends." he said. "Heh, if you guys weren't all here I wouldn't have to lay my own life on the line here. You guys really are a bunch of morons, causing trouble like this all the time!"

Kuyou tried to counterattack, but he underestimated the werewolf's speed, as he felt the full force of Gin's attack.

The others stood astounded as Gin kept on hammering at Kuyou with fast but powerful punches.

Ishigami, who stood nearby, was also surprised. This man is no mere beast! He's a werewolf! a monster known for it's speed!

Kuyou fell to the ground, the pain of the repeating punches continuing to hurt him.

"Justice or not," Gin said, reverting back into true form, "I'll mess you up for just putting a hand on my friends! Never forget, you bastard."

Kurumu and Yukari stood by, amazed at how powerful Gin was. Even Haru showed an expression of interest. Impressive, he thought.

Kurumu ran towards Gin, wanting to praise him but the moment she got close, he reached to her and touched her breast.

"Ha ha…" he said, smiling. "That's my reward for saving you."

Kurumu blushed, and hit him in the head. Haru facepalmed. Dear Lord, nothing changes with him, does it?

Isn't this great, Tsukune? Moka thought. Even thought I'm sure everyone heard that you're a human, even then they came to save you…

Tsukune smiled, happy to see his friends together again.

Gin, Kurumu, and Yukari walked back to the others, hoping to see to Tsukune's wounds.

But as they reached them, Gin couldn't help but feel a growing aura where Kuyou was.

He turned around to see Kuyou engulfed in flame, as he attacked the Newspaper Club.

To be continued…
