Guest: Will this be a harem?

Me: Simply put? No, it will not be, why? Because there are too many harem versions of Rosario to Vampire, I don't want to be like the mainstream of fanfictions, which is why I was so happy to take on this fanfiction in and of itself. So he will be monogamous, if he has Kurumu as his lover, then for fan service I may do something, and to keep up with the rules of vampire society or whatnot. Though that is to be determined, because I have an idea already to get around that rule of vampire

Anyway, lets begin shall we? Ja Ne

Sitting at Shade's private table in Devil's Little Angels Tsukune closes his eyes, trying to block out the sights and sounds of the strip club around him. After going to breakfast with Kurumu the two of them came back to the club and just relaxed. The majority of the day was spent in Tsukune's bedroom, the two of them just enjoying one another's company. For Tsukune it had been ample opportunity to just relax and think, not only about his marriage but about his life, and what he's going to do now that he's realized what exactly he meant to Moka and how much she cared about their relationship. For Kurumu, it was simply the opportunity for her to be close to her destined one. After spending years away from him, feeling empty and just going through life on a day to day routine, she finally feels whole, the emptiness from before gone with her soul mate lying next to her.

Lying next to him Kurumu could feel her desire to embrace him growing, to kiss him and touch him, to pounce on him like her kind are famous for and ravish him until he can't even think. She'd resisted the urge though, and been content to just kiss him, the feel of his lips against hers like a drug, and even though she'd only meant to kiss him once, she quickly did it again, and

again, and again and again, and it was Tsukune who stopped her, telling her that things were going too far too fast when he caught her hands sliding down his ribs, heading for his waistline. He just wasn't comfortable with taking things any farther then they were. Reluctantly she'd agreed, and lied down next to him, snuggling next to him for however long she could, until her mother came to the room and told her it was time for her to get ready.

Tsukune had looked dismal when he heard that Kurumu was about to go on stage, and he asked her if she really wanted him to be present to watch her. She'd said yes immediately, and Tsukune had reluctantly agreed, Kurumu excusing herself to go get ready and Ageha saying to follow her so he can sit with her and her Nee-san. Nodding glumly Tsukune followed her down into the club, the sound of loud hip hop music blaring into his ears punctuated by the howls and cheers from the many eager, horny men composing the majority of the club's customers.

Is this place ever not busy…?

"Oh, why so sad Tsu-ku-ne?" Shade purrs into his ear, somehow audible even with the pounding music and the young vampire can feel the heat of two bodies sandwiching him in place, the soft feel of their inviting flesh hard to ignore.

Opening his eyes the young Aono sits between two very voluptuous Succubuses'. Sitting there Tsukune tries not to look at either of them, though it's hard when both Ageha and Shade are doing everything they can to press their flesh against his, and to give him an unobstructed view of their alluring forms. Squirming uncomfortably Tsukune is hard pressed to remember a time when he's had two women like them offering themselves to him so openly, and when he actually wanted it.

Contrary to fate, Aono Tsukune has wished for a 'harem' of young women eager to please him in however manner they could. All he'd really wanted in middle school and going into high school had been just to have normal friends, and a single, loving girlfriend. He'd never wanted the venerable harem he'd had during his tenure at Youkai, and never asked Kurumu, Mizore, Yukari or Ruby to love him and treasure him as they did. All he wanted was to protect them and live peacefully, and more often then not he had to protect them from the very woman who was protecting him, and risking life and limb to stand up to an angry, scary vampire bent on savagely beating her opponent into a shell of their former selves won him more friends then it did save enemies.

"You don't know what this means to my Kurumu, Tsukune." Ageha says to him, her lips practically on top of his ear. "She's wanted you to watch her since the day you came here a week ago."

Lowering his head Tsukune stares at a spot on the table in front of him, feeling guilt work its way through him, the memory of Kurumu dancing on stage, her body moving like the incarnation of lust she is to the rock music blaring from the speakers flashing before his eyes. He remembers that guilt, that terrible, sinking sensation that swallowed him as he recognized one of his dearest friends from high school as she struts herself on a stage around a pole, being subjected to the jeers and whistles of nearly every pair of eyes watching her.

Ageha on the other hand can't believe that her daughter's destined one hasn't even glanced at

her since he sat down. The entire time he's spent not looking at either her or her sister on his arms, and it is both frustrating and endearing that he can be fawned over by not one but two beautiful women and not even bat an eye their way.

However, Shade is experiencing an emotion she isn't very familiar with when it comes to seducing men, frustration. Most men, normal men take one look at her and start drooling. The young vampire however hasn't been drooling at her, and the few times he has even looked in her direction it hasn't been with lust or even confused attraction, it's as though she's nothing more than a normal woman in his eyes, and where he her destined one it would be an endearing and loveable thing. Tsukune however is not her destined one, he's a vampire that Shade wants to taste, to feel his unsealed body slamming into hers, driving him inside of her savagely, and abusing her body like it has been on only a handful of nights in her entire life.

"I…I really don't want to be here Ageha-san." Tsukune says morosely. "I don't want to watch her take her clothes off for money…"

For him, stripping isn't an occupation one willingly chooses, it's something a woman does because she doesn't have a choice, because she needs money and has exhausted every other option. While Kurumu may not have been the sharpest knife in the drawer in school, he could think of a handful of other things she could do instead of this, and yet here he is, sitting in a strip club, surrounded on both sides by the family of one of the most precious people in his life, about to watch said precious person take her clothes off and do what her kind most excel at.

"Don't worry about her Tsu-ku-ne." Shade whispers, her tongue flicking his earlobe suggestively.

"After all, you've got two fine women right here." God why won't she leave me alone? Am I really that attractive? Am I that alluring that these two really can't take their eyes off of me?

Closing his eyes Tsukune dismisses the thought out of hand; it simply isn't true; it can't be. If he were so alluring and so attractive then how could the woman he'd chosen and fought for throw him away like she did?

Immediately Tsukune can feel Kurumu's suggestion kick in, and his thoughts immediately shift back to the subject of the two women on either side of him, sandwiching him on the seat and effectively trapping him at the table.

"Oh would you relax?" Shade drawls as she reaches out, grabbing Tsukune's head and thrusting it into her breasts, the warmth of her bosom accepting the young vampire as it has so many other men. "You aren't married, so why not have a little fun, hmm?"

For his part Tsukune can't not smell the Succubus' scent, feel her warmth on either side of his head. Smelling her it's like she exudes raw sensuality and Tsukune can feel his lower body respond to Shade's…'invitation.' He knows that it would be so easy, all he has to do is say a few words and the blue violet haired Arch Succubus would take him to her bed and probably show

him the night of his life, and when she was done he's sure that her younger sister would be next in line, ready to show him all over again just what a Succubus is capable of…

But it isn't him to do it, he just doesn't want to, at least, his brain doesn't want to, his body on the other hand…

Feeling hands on his shoulders something pulls Tsukune back, extricating his head from Shade's bust, and he sucks in his first breath of air in ten seconds before his eyes and face are once again plunged into soft, inviting flesh.

"My sister and I would be more then happy to teach you all sorts of things together Tsukune." Ageha purrs as she rubs his face with her body, causing the young vampire to close his eyes and reach out with his hands, touching her stomach and her sides, searching for purchase to remove his head from her bosom.

Are they offering me a threesome?

Somehow finding Shade's shoulders Tsukune carefully pushes Ageha away, careful not to hurt the woman, but he does rather like to breathe, and while many a man would love to go out being suffocated by Ageha's G cup breasts Tsukune has suffocated before, and it isn't pleasant. Especially since suffocating won't kill the young Aono, one of the many disadvantages of being immortal, you survive pain that would kill most other creatures, including not breathing for over three minutes.

It's then that the entire crowd club goes silent, and then the whine of a guitar plays from the speakers, and the crowd gets on their feet as the drums kick in and the lights come up, and Kurumu busts out from behind the curtain, dressed like a schoolgirl with her blouse tied below her ample chest, her skirt just bare centimeters from being obscene, the outfit complete with high socks and loafers, her hair tied back into twin pony tails. Her body moves in tune to the high

energy music, the unfamiliar singer beginning an oddly fitting song.

Kelly won't kiss my friend Cassandra

Jessica won't play ball.

Mandy won't share her friend Miranda

Doesn't anybody live at all?

Sitting there watching Kurumu Tsukune can feel his guilt rising inside of him. Watching Kurumu strut and dance to the music he can feel his guilt weighing down on him as she pulls the ties from her hair, flinging them away as she swings her hair behind her.

Amanda won't leave me empty handed,

Got her number from the bathroom stall.

Brandy just got way too much baggage,

And that shit just gets old.

But I got a girl who can put on a show, The dollar decides how far you can go with her.

Kurumu grabs the knot in her shirt below her impressive chest, pulling the knot open and throwing the white top away, revealing her black spaghetti strap bra that's little more then a few strings connecting a pair of pasties. Sitting there Tsukune has to admit to himself that Kurumu is a very attractive woman, but he could've seen that just looking at her fully clothed, she doesn't have to parade herself on stage like she is.

She wraps those hands around that pole,

She licks those lips and off we go,

She takes it off nice and slow,

'Cause that's PORNSTAR DANCIN'!

Sitting there Tsukune tries to look away, but he can't bring himself to. Kurumu wanted him to see her, to accept what she's become, and as much as it makes him feel like an eel he forces himself to watch, to keep his eyes on her as she continues her well practiced routine.

She don't play nice, she makes me beg,

She drops that dress around her legs,

And I'm sittin' right by the stage for this,

PORNSTAR DANCIN'!

Unlike Tsukune, both Ageha and Shade watch Kurumu with pride. Kurumu is their star performer, and in the span of a few short years has gone from a relative unknown to their headliner, and it wasn't without their tutelage and assistance. The stunning woman grinds and dances around the pole, her eyes scanning the members of the crowd, inviting them, the men in the crowd howling at her, throwing money like it's worthless.

Your body's lightin' up the room.

I want a naughty girl like you.

There's nothing hotter then her...

Kurumu swings around the pole as the men cheer for her routine, Kurumu landing on her feet and undoing the skirt, letting it fall and revealing her black thong as the men around the stage and throughout the club cheer enthusiastically, egging her on as money flies onto the stage. Then, another voice comes through the speakers, the male voice different from the first, but still unfamiliar to Tsukune's ears.

Stacy's gonna save herself for marriage,

But that's just not my style.

She's got a pair that's nice to stare at,

But I want Girls Gone Wild.

The second voice doesn't sing anything more after that, and the first singer comes back, repeating the chorus of the song. Sitting there Tsukune can only watch as Kurumu parades herself in front of them all, silently wondering to himself how many of these men are like him, married with wives and possibly children waiting for them at home? He doesn't know, though he wouldn't have been surprised if Ageha and Shade could look around the room and tell him exactly who is married and who isn't just by looking at them.

But I know a place where there's always a show,

The dollar decides how far you can go.

She wraps those hands around that pole,

She licks those lips and off we go,

She takes it off nice and slow,

'Cause that's PORNSTAR DANCIN'!

Sitting there Shade puts her hands on Tsukune's thigh, the young vampire barely feeling the touch with his attention focused on Kurumu on stage. Sliding her hand up his thigh toward his zipper Shade can feel the beginning of the bulge there, and a smile comes to her face, feeling the size of Tsukune's manhood through his shorts, and she can only salivate at how much better it will be once he removes the seal around his wrist. Grabbing at his zipper the young Aono blinks in surprise as Shade pulls it down beneath the table, her hand snaking through the zipper and his boxers to grab at the vampire's bulging manhood. Tsukune's eyes flash to her, and Shade grins as her hand starts to stroke his rod, her soft fingers sliding up and down his engorged member.

"Shade-san…" Tsukune mumbles, barely audible over the music as he fidgets uncomfortably trying to get Shade's hand off of him, but the young vampire is effectively pinned between the Arch Succubus and her younger sister, preventing him from doing much of anything to stop

Shade's skillful hand.

She don't play nice, she makes me beg,

She drops that dress around her legs,

And I'm sittin' right by the stage for this,

PORNSTAR DANCIN'!

Ageha looks him up and down when he fidgets, and her eyes drift to the familiar grin on her older sister's face, Kurumu's mother recognizing the look as her own hand drifts below the table. Finding his fly open and feeling the movement beneath Tsukune's clothes Ageha's hand grabs her older sister's wrist, pulling it away from Tsukune's member. For a moment Tsukune breathes a momentary sigh of relief before Ageha slips her own hand into his zipper, doing the exact same thing to Tsukune that her older sister was.

The entire time Kurumu dances on the stage, grinding and spinning around the pole, doing things to it that many of the assembled men in front of her would kill to have done to them. Dancing on the stage Kurumu is oblivious to her aunt and her mother trying to seduce her destined one, and Tsukune for his part hides his discomfort well. The young Aono is used to being put into uncomfortable sexual situations, his time spent as Ria's plaything can easily attest to that…

Your body's lightin' up the room.

I want a naughty girl like you.

Let's throw a party just for two,

You know those normal girls won't do.

The song continues, and Tsukune repeatedly fidgets and tries to get away from the two Succubuses' to no avail. All he can do is hold on, keep himself from giving in to their touch and giving them what they want, which is to see him climax, to give him pleasure in the most basic, primal way possible.

A guitar solo begins then, and Kurumu rips her bra off at the beginning of the solo. Kurumu moves her body in time to beat, the crowd cheering and hollering at the sight of her bare chest, her breasts jiggling and bouncing with every movement. The eyes of every man sitting around the stage locked on her breasts as she parades them around the stage. With the cheer of the crowd the two Succubus's' and Tsukune's eyes look up to see her swing around the pole, landing on her feet and grinding against it, making her audience salivate at just the sight of her more than ample assets.

The solo is short and fast, the notes quick and building, growing in speed going faster and faster until finally the whine peaks in a series of extremely fast notes, the last of them all held, drawn out and waning as the singer continues.

She wraps those hands around that pole,

She licks those lips and off we go,

She takes it off nice and slow,

'Cause that's PORNSTAR DANCIN'!

Tsukune finally gets a moment to break away from Ageha's grip, as she relaxed for a split second. With his eyes closed, he sighs, and grabs Shade's wrist, twisting it slightly to stop her. "Stop, now..." He trailed with no room for debate in his tone, a slight bit of ki leaks out, just enough to where only his table feels it, but enough to make his point. "I am trying to follow through with Kurumu's wishes of me watching her dance." Tsukune said, and turned his attention back to the the woman in question currently on stage.

Ageha pouts slightly, but conceded with his wishes "Ok Tsukune." She said with a bit of dejectedness, though turned her attention to her daughter. Pride was apparent in her eyes, she was proud of her daughter entrancing all the men in the room.

Shade was annoyed that no matter what she did, Tsukune spurred her advances, at first it was endearing, now it was just getting on her nerves. 'Regardless of what he says, and if he was asked, he would deny it, though he is a bit entranced by my niece.' Shade thought to herself, conceding defeat for the moment, but still determined.

With that the song ends and Kurumu smiles at the crowd, blowing a kiss to Tsukune, who nods and waves. Tsukune sighs in relief that he had gotten the women to stop their ministrations for the moment. 'I'd never admit it, but I felt entranced by that dance, she did good.' Tsukune thought to himself as he relaxed into his chair a bit.

"This must be the son of bitch that Kurumu was seeing on the side." The man growls in English, pointing an accusing finger toward Tsukune.

Huh?

Sitting there Tsukune's confusion is clear on his face, and Shade grins, hiding her displeasure.

"What?" Tsukune asks curiously in English, tilting his head to the side.

Trevor opens his mouth to say something, when Shade cuts him off.

"I thought I told you to never show up here again?" Shade growls at him menacingly, and Trevor snorts in disgust, his usual cronies flanking him.

"It's because of me and my money that this place even exists." Trevor shoots back. "And I have a score to settle with this punk!" He growls, pointing a finger directly at Tsukune.

"Look…I've never even met you before, so I don't have any idea what you're talking about."

Tsukune explains in his best English, and both Shade and Ageha can't help but smile.

"Tsukune, this is the man I told you about, Trevor." Ageha explains. "Trevor, this is Kurumu's new boyfriend, Tsukune."

Tsukune's eyes narrow at the mention of the name, remembering everything Ageha said about the man during the trip from the castle here. How the man tried to pressure Kurumu into having sex with her, and the fact that she caught him having sex with multiple girls from other clubs.

"You're the man Kurumu was dating before." Tsukune says simply, his hands balling into fists on top of the table.

"Yeah." Trevor growls, leaning down and staring unknowingly into the young vampire's deceptively human looking eyes. "I'm the guy she was supposed to be fucking while you two were off fucking behind my back."

I never slept with Kurumu while they were dating. She and I haven't even had sex, and she said that she broke up with him before I even got here.

Opening his mouth to argue Shade cuts him off, her tone light and friendly.

"Don't waste your breath darling." Shade smiles at him before she raises her left hand and points a single finger into the air, spinning her hand around lazily at the wrist, giving a signal to her bouncers stationed around the club.

Like magic men seem to appear as if from out of the crowd. As one they converge on Trevor and his men, the twelve bouncers surrounding and binding Trevor and his five men like they're children. Trevor and his men try to struggle, fighting against not only superior numbers but also superior strength they're all quickly bound in muscular arms thicker and stronger then their own.

"Give them all the very special VIP Treatment." Shade orders the head bouncer, who grins at the words, nodding toward the owner of the establishment.

Tsukune stood up, and put a hand on the bouncers shoulder that was escorting trevor out. A silent agreement passed between the two men, as the man swung the child of a man to face Tsukune, pulling his arm behind his back. "You will leave Kurumu alone if you know what's good for you..." He trailed, his eyes steeled his eyes boring holes into Trevor's head, using his vampire charm, which is weaker on the same gender, but Trevor has a weak mind, then when Tsukune was sure the charm had set in, he waved them off, dismissing this garbage.

At that the men pull Trevor and his group away, hauling them off to be treated to 'the very special' VIP treatment. Sitting there Tsukune is glad for the interruption, since Trevor showed up neither

Ageha smiled softly at the man who subtly charmed someone, to the naked eye, he intimidated the man child, but to proficient users of the charm noticed what he did. "Nice going Tsukune." She says with a slightly seductive tone, one last ditch effort to seduce him.

Reaching down to close his fly Tsukune looks up, just happening to see Kurumu scooping up bills from the stage and he closes his eyes, standing up resolutely.

"I can't watch this anymore."

Hopping up onto the table Tsukune quickly jumps off the other side and onto the floor of the club, pushing himself through the crowd and away from the table, Kurumu's family, and everything else as he heads for the door, his mind filled with a single, all encompassing desire.

I need to get out of here.

XXX

Sitting in the back room Kurumu flips her fingers through her earnings, counting the wad of cash thrown at her by the more then eager horny men sitting around the stage. Sitting there Kurumu can't help but think about Tsukune. This is the first time he saw her perform and she hopes that it excited him and he enjoyed the performance, though a part of her knows that Tsukune just isn't the type to enjoy watching a friend take her clothes off for money.

Then again, he was sitting with my aunt and my mother, who's to say he even paid attention to even a second of my performance?

She'd gone to her aunt and her mother separately and asked both of them to please not put their hands on Tsukune. Though she knows full well that asking them not to touch a man is like asking the wind not to blow, it just doesn't happen. But what else could she have done? There was no way Tsukune would be allowed backstage and putting him in the crowd was just asking for trouble. He's a vampire and he drinks blood. She wouldn't put it past him to start a fight with one of the customers just for the way they talk about her.

The door opens, and Kurumu's head spins toward the noise, a burst of hope flooding her mind that it's Tsukune. But as the door opens it isn't her destined one in the doorway, but rather her mother. Walking into the room Ageha closes the door behind her, her expression solemn as she meets her daughter's gaze.

"Okaa-san? Where's Tsukune?" Kurumu asks curiously, and Ageha sighs somberly.

Sitting there Kurumu can tell that whatever her mother has to say can't be good. Ageha is not a woman who walks around looking depressed, and when she does she has a very good reason for it. The night Kurumu had been exiled Ageha had looked stricken with guilt, drugging and dragging your daughter away from the one person in the world who can make them happy will put a damper on anyone's perpetual good mood.

"Tsukune left the club after your dance while you were gathering your money and hasn't come back." Ageha shakes her head, and Kurumu's face falls in disbelief.

He's left and hasn't come back! It's been thirty minutes since I got off the stage!

Hearing that, Kurumu immediately thinks that he's left, that he's going to leave all his things here and go back to the castle, and it will be another ten years before she'll see him again. Standing up Kurumu doesn't hesitate. Dropping her cash into the safe Kurumu doesn't bother to count the rest. Walking to a nearby coat rack Kurumu grabs a long coat from the rack and pulls it on. Dressed in only her stage attire, a tight white blouse, a very short skirt, high socks and loafers

Kurumu would stand out like a sore thumb, even in Las Vegas.

"I'm going to go look for him." Kurumu says absolutely as she heads for the door to the hall.

Seeing her daughter pull on the coat Ageha's eyebrows rise in surprise, her daughter already striding to the door when she speaks up, her eyes watching her daughter the entire time.

"Shouldn't you change first?" Ageha asks curiously, stepping aside to allow her daughter past.

Shaking her head Kurumu puts her hand on the door, her eyes locked in front of her.

"I don't want to waste another second."

This is the second time in two weeks I've been like this…

Rolling his wedding band between his thumb and pointer finger Tsukune just stares at the simple gold band, trying not to think about anything. Looking up the young Aono can see the spectacular sight of the Bellagio Hotel and Casino in front of him, and between the bench he sits on and the Casino proper is a large fountain, the sight of the famous fountain shows known around the world. Sighing to himself Tsukune looks down at the band again, absentmindedly spinning the ring between his fingers, a solemn thought coming to his mind.

It's over between Moka and I, it's really over…

Wrapping his hand around the wedding band Tsukune pushes himself up from the bench. Striding toward the railing surrounding the now dormant fountain Tsukune stops at the rail, opening his palm to look down at the ring one last time.

I could pawn it, sell it to someone who will melt it down and make some money, or I could give it away to a homeless person who will do the same thing, and at least someone will benefit from this fiasco.

Shaking his head Tsukune wraps his hand around the ring again, looking up he realizes that he already knows what he's going to do with the ring as he pulls his hand back and throws the ring, wanting nothing more to do with the ring or anything associated with it. Standing there Tsukune watches as the ring falls into the water, hitting the fountain water a small splash, followed by only a scant few ripples in the otherwise calm surface. Looking at it a moment Tsukune can't help but find the irony of it all.

That's exactly what our marriage will be to her, a little splash with a few ripples. Once I'm out of her life she'll be happy again. She'll be able to do whatever she wants and I'll… I don't know what

I'm going to do. I could move here, get an apartment or a condo, get a transfer to the Fairytale office here, and maybe start a family with Kurumu…

Shaking his head the young Aono walks back to the bench, flopping onto it with a weary sigh. Slipping his hands into his pockets Tsukune leans back against the bench, casting his eyes up to the sky.

I suppose I'll have to go back to Japan to get the divorce in order. I'm sure it will go simply, there's nothing in that apartment or anything we had that I want. All I really want is just to put all of it behind me, Moka can have the apartment, the furniture, the appliances, everything.

Thinking about getting a divorce Tsukune doesn't think even for a second that Moka might try and fight the divorce and push for reconciliation. After all, what is there to reconcile? She broke her vows and deep down, he knows she doesn't regret what she did in the least.

Sighing Tsukune closes his eyes, Kurumu's suggestion taking hold, forcing his thoughts to switch gears away from the subject of what happened between him and her that horrible night.

I'll visit my folks when I go back, I'm sure they'll be sad to hear that Moka and I are splitting up. Mom will probably be sad, and Dad…

Sitting there Tsukune remembers everything that happened between his father and Moka's eldest sister. He can clearly remember going to his father's office in the Fairy Tale building, seeing his father's eyes when he began to cry as he explained the situation. How Ria took him out for drinks to celebrate his recent employment at Fairy Tale. Unaware of what Ria truly is, his father had drank more and more, and had been falling down drunk when they'd left the bar. Ria had taken him to a hotel, and in a drunken haze seduced him and had her way with him. He wasn't even aware that anything happened until the next morning, when he woke up next to Ria in bed, and she explained the whole evening to him. Of course he immediately wanted to end it there, call it a drunken mistake let it go, but Ria had been insistent. She'd supposedly enjoyed their evening together and wanted another round. When his father had tried to talk her out of it she'd promptly threatened to tell his wife about the whole thing and out of fear for his marriage he'd agreed and Ria had won. It had gone on for months until Tsukune learned the truth, and he'd promptly gone to Ria and fought her, but the older and stronger vampiress took everything he had to give and then some. When everything was said and done Ria had been victorious, beating him into submission and hoarding her victory over him, threatening to make his father her personal toy by taking him on a 'business trip' with just the two of them. Caught between a rock and hard place, Tsukune had done the only thing he could, he'd bargained for his father's freedom, and as a result had been thoroughly sexually humiliated by her once again.

Shaking his head to clear the memories from his mind Tsukune just breathes, slowly inhaling and exhaling as he sits on the bench; enjoying the solitude a moment before his nose catches a familiar scent. Looking toward the source of the scent Tsukune isn't surprised to see Kurumu standing there wearing a long knee length coat. With her hair down Kurumu looks very different then she did in Youkai. Seeing her Tsukune can't keep his eyes on her, his eyes drifting down to the ground between his legs.

I ran out after her performance, she's probably mad…

"Is this seat taken?" The young Succubus asks hopefully, her azure eyes large and bright, and

Tsukune shakes his head no.

With palpable hesitation Kurumu sits down next to Tsukune on his right, the young Succubus glad that her destined one hasn't left the country and gone running back to his vampire family. Sitting there Kurumu had been honestly afraid that he was going to do what he did when he left Moka, call her elder sister Ria and disappear.

At least he's still here… But what can I say to him? Should I ask him what he thought of my performance, or would that only make him feel worse?

Sitting there Kurumu can't decide just exactly how to start a conversation with the young vampire sitting next to her. As for Tsukune like the succubus sitting next to him he too just doesn't know what to say to the blue haired girl next to him. The two of them sit in silence for nearly three minutes, neither one wanting to break the silence between them until Tsukune closes his eyes, exhaling a low breath.

"I'm sorry." Tsukune whispers and her azure eyes blink in surprise.

"What are you sorry for Tsukune?"

"I ran out after your performance."

"What happened?"

Opening his mouth to answer Tsukune closes it again, swallowing his knee jerk response to the question. Telling her that her aunt and her mother were both trying to jerk him off while she danced isn't going to solve anything.

"I couldn't look at you without feeling guilty about your whole situation." Tsukune admits in a small voice. "Like it's all my fault that you're doing what you're doing."

Shaking her head Kurumu reaches out and puts her hand on his, her fingers intertwining with his.

"It isn't your fault Tsukune." Kurumu says simply. "I've told you that before."

"I…I just still think of you like the girl I knew back in school and it's hard for me to see you stripping like you are."

"I don't have to do it Tsukune, I can quit whenever I want."

Tsukune doesn't miss the offer in her tone, the veiled question in her statement being 'do you want me to quit?' Thinking about it the young vampire can't bring himself to say yes, a single thought stopping the words in his throat.

What if she quits being a stripper and you get dragged back to the castle and made to be with Moka after the month is up? After everything you've put her through, can you make her quit her job and then leave her high and dry when Akasha comes for you and takes you back?

"If you quit and I'm taken back after the month then you won't have a job, and it'll be my fault."

"I can always get my job back. My aunt owns that club Tsukune, and if I quit she won't be able to just replace me."

"Then that's all the more reason you shouldn't quit." Tsukune tries to argue, but his heart isn't in it.

"I want to be with you Tsukune." Kurumu says simply. "If me being a stripper bothers you that much then I'll quit."

Pulling her hand from his the young succubus gets to her feet, the vampire Aono watching her stand up.

"Where are you going Kurumu-chan?" Tsukune asks curiously, standing on his own, watching as the blue haired succubus turns back the way she came.

"I'm going to go tell my Aunt that I'm quitting."

Tsukune's mouth falls in surprise, his entire body freezing in surprise at the blasé manner that she can just decide to up and quit her job without a second thought. Kurumu starts walking back to the club Tsukune's hand lances out, grabbing her by the wrist his grip is strong and firm, the touch sending a slight blush to her face.

"No, wait." Tsukune calls out to her, his grip on her wrist tight. "I don't want you to quit."

"My destined one can't watch me do my job, I'd rather you accept what I do then make a lot of money."

Blinking in surprise Tsukune remembers something Ageha told him a long time ago, something he'd thought was just a simple metaphor.

'She'd give you anything Tsukune. All you had to do was ask it, and it would be yours.'

"Don't quit." Tsukune says again.

"Will you watch me?" Kurumu asks simply, her back to him, Tsukune's hand still on her wrist.

Stepping toward her Tsukune wraps his free arm around her, closing his eyes and inhaling her scent, finding an odd serenity in her scent, so different from Moka and Akasha's.

"I'll try." Tsukune says solemnly, and Kurumu's face flushes in embarrassment.

"I…I won't quit Tsukune." Kurumu stutters and he nods his understanding, feeling a familiar need begin to fill him.

"Kurumu-chan…I…" Tsukune mumbles, and somehow the young succubus knows what's on his mind, tilting her head to the side, exposing her gorgeous neck to him.

"Go ahead Tsukune." Kurumu whispers breathlessly, closing her eyes in anticipation.

Whispering a thank you Tsukune opens his mouth and sinks his teeth into her flesh. Feeling his fangs pierce her skin Kurumu can feel her body shiver in pleasure. Euphoria filling her Kurumu can feel her entire body shiver at his bite. Her body becoming racked with pleasure, her arms and legs distant, she practically melts in his arms. Her eyelids fluttering she opens her mouth shuddering a low breath as her knees buckle from the sheer pleasure of it all. Tsukune's grip around her shoulders tightens; supporting her as he pulls his fangs from her neck, her body convulsing in pleasure, her words a breathy exhale.

"Kiss it Tsukune…" Kurumu breathes and his lips dip to the already healing wound.

His lips grazing her skin Kurumu's entire body quivers, her knees shaking Tsukune wraps his other arm around her waist, the feel of masculine arms around her so strong…so safe…so right…

"Are you alright Kurumu-chan?" Tsukune whispers, more than a little concerned for the woman in his arms.

Why does this keep happening to her? Is it because I'm her destined one, or is it something else? Is it because she's a succubus? I fed off of her in Youkai a handful of times, and she never acted like she was having an orgasm when I did it then. In fact neither did Mizore or Ruby, so why is she doing it now? Is she trying to seduce me? Or maybe she's trying to make me feel better, trying to comfort me in that my need for her blood doesn't hurt her when I know first hand what it feels like…

Thinking that Tsukune remembers the countless times Moka fed off of him when he was still human. He clearly remembers how much it hurt when the pink haired vampire stuck her fangs into his neck and drank his blood, her excuse every time being 'it's so delicious.'

Her senses quickly coming back to her Kurumu steadies on her feet, her legs straightening and her composure coming back to her face. In the dark alleyway, nothing could be seen trying to look in, but the improved night vision, Tsukune was keenly aware of the people walking by.

"Are you OK Kurumu-chan?" Tsukune asks again, his voice tender and full of concern, and for a split second the young succubus debates whether or not to lie, just to keep him holding her like he is.

"I'm fine Tsukune." Kurumu finally speaks, and the succubus makes no move to disengage herself from the embrace, relaxing her body against him, closing her eyes, smelling his scent, the feel of his arms around her.

"Did my mom or my aunt do something to you Tsukune?" Kurumu whispers and the young vampire's entire body stiffens like a child caught with his hand in the cookie jar.

His head lulling Tsukune nods, his head hanging over her right shoulder, Kurumu watching him out of the corner of her eye.

"Yes, they did…something." He responds in a hoarse whisper, tightening his arms around her ever so slightly.

"What did they do Tsukune?" Kurumu asks in that same low whisper, and the young vampire swallows the lump in his throat.

"They hung all over me, and they tried to…please me…with their hands…"

Nodding Kurumu isn't surprised in the slightest. Her mother and her aunt are both mature succubae, they practically can't keep their hands off of a man, no matter the reason.

"They offered me a threesome…" Tsukune continues solemnly with his eyes closed.

They must really want to sleep with him, they never willingly share a single man…

"They're just being what they are Tsukune." Kurumu says gently, still leaning her back against him, his arms still wrapped around her.

"It's just a preconceived notion…" Tsukune continues solemnly. "They only want to be with me because they think I'm some kind of super lover, just because I'm a vampire…"

Hearing the way he talks about himself in bed it's clear to Kurumu that the young Aono blames himself in part for his marriage falling apart. It doesn't take a genius to connect his wife cheating on him with a thought like 'I couldn't satisfy her, that's why she strayed.' Unbeknownst to him, it was not his skill in bed that forced his wife to stray, but her own pride and his inability to bow to her on the issue of the rearing of their children.

"I'm probably the world's worst vampire in bed…" Tsukune continues morosely, and Kurumu feels another spark of rage for Moka, with one single act she took the man Kurumu would do anything for and shattered him, turned him into a shadow of his former self, stripping away his confidence and from what she saw in that video, Moka enjoyed doing it.

"I don't think that's true Tsukune." Kurumu says softly, consolingly. "I've seen you, and I don't think you're small or anything like that, you were with Moka for years and…" Kurumu stops herself then, but it's too late.

"Yeah…" The young vampire murmurs sullenly. "I couldn't even satisfy her even after I spent years making love to her."

That was smart. Open mouth, insert foot…

Her hands rising to his Kurumu gently opens his arms, Tsukune's eyes opening to watch the young succubus pull away from him and turn around, taking his hands in hers.

"Come on Tsukune, there's someplace I want to take you."

(Well, here's Chapter 10. I know a lot of people weren't exactly pleased with the last chapter, and I hope this one redeems this story in their eyes. A lot happens, so I hope you all enjoy.)
