A/N: hey, sorry for not posting in a long while, but life has been happening. First, this will be the last post of this story or the second to last post. on August 13, I am shipping out to begin my career in the U.S. Navy, so I will not have access to anything for that time of training. Now, this chapter took me a while as I was finishing my last chapter to would be working on with Blackgold, so I have been putting this and other project off. Sorry for this, but I hope you enjoy this chapter.

Yokai Academy Front Gate

It was another day at Yokai Academy, a secret school for monsters. The school newspaper club were out with a table and their newest edition of the Yokai Times, handing it out to students all looking for the latest news. It was a lot of work, but the club had distributed the paper and were finally out. This was the first time they had accomplished this, and they felt really good about that.

"Yay, all the newspapers are distributed!" Yukari shouted, holding up the last empty box.

"Yahoo, the news report critics are good this time, too," Kurumu added.

"Hey, how about we hold a celebration?" Moka suggested. Like bring some snacks and such."

"That's a great idea, Moka-san," Tsukune agreed.

"Agreed!" Yukari seconded, throwing her arms up in the air.

"I think that's a good idea," Alessandro said, walking up to the group. "You guys did really well on this paper, and I'm glad you kept my identity hidden in the article you had done on me."

"Yeah, well, we didn't much chose in that decision. And a lot of people wanted to know what they could about you, mostly to see if they could beat you in fight," Kurumu commented, crossing her arms and glaring at the Shadow Knight.

"No reason to be so hostile, you know," Alessandro commented. "Anyway, I think you guys did a good job and should celebrate."

"So how are we going to hold the celebration?" Kurumu asked, ignoring the Shadow Knight.

"First, we should go to the store and buy snacks," Moka mentioned.

"And something to drink, too," Yukari added.

"Okay, but no alcohol," Tsukune stipulated.

"Then we can bring everything over to the clubroom after classes are over," Kurumu ended with. "So do you want to play some games while we're there?"

While the group was talking, someone walked up behind them. She didn't make her presence known to them until she finally spoke, removing her lollipop to do so.

"You people are all buddy-buddy, aren't you? You newspaper clubbers," she asked, causing the group to turn and acknowledge her being.

There stood a girl with long purple hair and clothes that made her stand out, not wearing the school uniform. She had a lollipop in her mouth, it hanging there like it will never leave. The newspaper club members all looked at her out of surprise, Alessandro mentally inspecting the girl to see if she would be a danger to his friends.

"You all getting along together…I never really understood that way of thinking," the girl said.

"Hey, what's that supposed to mean?" Kurumu questioned.

"Newspaper," the girl said, ignoring what Kurumu had said.

The newspaper club just looked at her, really confused on what she was asking and how she was able to just ignore Kurumu.

"Can I have one?" the girl asked, putting her hand out.

"Oh," Alessandro said, understanding and pulling out his copy. "Here, I don't need mine, just got it to see support my friends."

The girl took the paper and looked at the taller man with interest, trying to figure him out while he was doing the same. After a few seconds of the stare off, the girl spot, smiling slightly at the end.

"You must be the exchange student from Europe," the girl said. "You're hotter than I thought."

"Wait, what?" Alessandro asked, confused heavily from the direction the conversation went.

"I'll see you later," the girl said, turning and leaving.

Alessandro stood there scratching his head, trying to figure out what the hell just happened.

"Okay, what just happened?" Kurumu asked.

"Still trying to figure that one out," Alessandro replied.

Class room 1-3

Nekonome-sensei was doing the morning role, calling each person out by last name. Everyone was present until she got to someone who hasn't been there all year.

"Shirayuki-san?" Nekonome-sensei asked, expecting the owner of the name to speak out. She paused for a little bit, hoping for the student to speak up.

"Shirayuki-san?" she asked again, hoping the she person was at school finally. She paused for a little less, not able to take too long out of the day.

"I guess she must be absent again…" Nekonome-sensei said, a little disappointment in her voice from the loss of a student.

After she had said that, the door to the room opened. This caused Nekonome-sensei's cat ears to perk up, wondering what it was that might cause a disruption. Who it was that opened the door was another student, the same one from the morning that had asked for a paper. The moment she walked in, whispers started to fly around the room. Most of them being; "Who is she?" "Where has she been this year?" "Why is she dressed that way?"

"Wait, is that…?" Moka started to ask Tsukune.

"I think so," Tsukune answered.

The girl walked over to the empty desk in front of Tsukune and sat down, ignoring all the whispers. Nekonome was thrilled to have her in class, and explained why she hadn't been in school all year. She also asked that everyone treat her as a friend. Tsukune and Moka just thought about how creepy she was that morning and what Alessandro was thinking. They looked over to try and gauge his reaction, and found him practically frozen in place.

Shirayuki Mizore-san. This was what happened to be the only thing to register in his mind. Alessandro was so confused about what had happened that he was stuck in a mental loop on who she was. Now that he had a name, he had started to mentally retrace the name back to what clan she was born from. And he found it.

The normal class day went by with nothing happening except school. Classes were ending and Tsukune, along with Moka and Kurumu were going back over what they have planned for the party. Alessandro walked by, and was stopped by Tsukune and Moka.

"Hey, are you okay?" Tsukune asked. "When you heard the girl's name, you froze up. Do you know her?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. I don't know who she is, but I think I know what she is. It explains the comment this morning, but I don't know why she would have an interest in me. Her family is normally not ones to encourage lack of education," Alessandro explained, more talking to himself out loud than to Tsukune.

Ren showed up, papers stuffed in her arms and her bag. She walked up to the group and smiled, probable finding something they might or might not want to hear.

"Hey, guess I just found out?" Ren asked. "I found that student records show that this Shirayuki chick was actually at school the first day, but left before the day actually started. I'm still trying to find out what happened that day, but it is difficult right now as students are filling up the library and making my job there a little difficult."

"Thanks, Ren. I would invite you to the party we're going to have, but it's for the newspaper club members only," Tsukune thanked.

"Oh, all right," Ren said, her hair noticeably deflating a little. "I have a lot of work to do anyway. I'll talk to you later."

"I wish we could have invited her, but it is for the how hard we worked on the paper," Kurumu said, Ren having walked away.

"Well, you guys have fun, I have something I need to check out," Alessandro said, the newspaper club members all nodding and leaving. After they had turned the corner, Alessandro looked directly at a column. He took a few steps forwards and waited for the halls to be clear before he spoke.

"You know, hiding from me has never worked, and it's not going to start any time soon," Alessandro said. Out from the column walked the girl from earlier, Mizore Shirayuki.

"How did you know I was there?" she asked, tilting her head slightly.

"Comes with the territory. Now, why are you following me?"

"Because, I'm trying to find out if you're as lonely as I am," Mizore came right out with. "What with coming from a different country and everything."

"You don't know lonely until you've lived the life I have," Alessandro commented. "I make due with those I meet, not letting anyone get too close. Loss is a very painful feeling I don't wish to feel again."

"When I read about there being a foreign exchange student here, I thought that they would be someone who made friends quickly and that everyone liked. I'm glad I was wrong, as you obviously aren't one who makes friends quickly," Mizore said, throwing Alessandro off guard. "When I read the article on you today, I noticed it talked a lot about your grades and your club activities, but nothing more. Why is that?"

Mizore had taken a few steps forward, closing the distance between the two of them. Alessandro could feel the temperature fall a few degrees, strengthening his resolve.

"Because I don't want the whole school to know about my private life, like what my parents were like or where I was born and who took care of me after my parents died," Alessandro explained.

"I didn't know your parents were dead, I'm sorry," Mizore said, moving forward and trying to hug the large student. He took a small step back, one large enough to tell her no, while at the same time that he was fine with her being a little close.

"Now you do, and it happened so long ago that it doesn't bother me," Alessandro told Mizore. "Besides, I'm not someone who just has a secret admirer who is not an overpowered monster. So, I'll ask again, why me?"

"Because, I can feel how lonely you are, and that we can understand each other more than others could ever do," Mizore said, closing the distance and grabbing a hold of the Shadow Knight's arm. "Come."

Alessandro didn't object, as he had no reason to fear her. She led him out of the building and to the pond on the campus.

Meanwhile, in the Newspaper club room, Moka and Kurumu had finished decorating the room. Tsukune and Yukari both walked in, holding food and drinks in their arms from the school store. As the group started to enjoy the small party, the door to the room opened up. The girl from the morning had walked in.

At the pond, Mizore and Alessandro were seeing who could skip the rocks over the water the farthest. Alessandro's first few tries were in failure, as he had never skipped rocks before, but he quickly got the hang of it and was soon skipping them across the entirety of the water. Mizore was smiling the whole time, enjoying the time she was spending with the larger man.

As they skipped rocks, Mizore tried to pry more into who he was and vice versa. Alessandro asked how her parents had felt about her not being in school the whole time, to which she replied that they understood the reason for it. She did admit to needing help with what she had missed, to which Alessandro agreed he would help her.

Mizore had asked more about what type of person he was and what he did when not doing school work or being in the club he was in. Alessandro told her that he meditated, strengthening his inner power and controlling his breathing. Helped to keep him calm for when he might hurt somebody, hanging his head slightly at the admission of his anger problem. Mizore was a little surprised about that, but knew that it was a flaw that he was trying to control.

"This has been fun, but I have a few things to do. Been behind with my school work, what with trying to keep Tsukune and the others alive," Alessandro said.

"Why are you trying to keep them alive?" Mizore asked.

"Because, I have a soft spot for those who are unable to defend themselves from opponents who are stronger than they are. It's something I've been doing for a long time now," Alessandro explained.

Before he could react, Mizore had ran up and gripped him in a hug. He was a little shocked that she would do that, but he didn't object as the cold felt nice on his back. He enjoyed the embrace for a few second, just long enough for him to get suspicious. He broke from the hug and turned to face her, his back to the lake.

"Okay, look, your cute and all, but I don't think it would work between us. How about we part now and stay friends," Alessandro said, a dangerous feeling growing in his gut. And he knew it probably involved saving Tsukune and the others.

"You don't need to go, we can stay together, forever," Mizore said, the temperature dropping rapidly. "And don't worry about your other friends, I'm going to make sure that don't come looking for you, ever."

"What is that supposed to mean?" Alessandro asked, just before he was blasted by a wave of cold and onto the lake.

Newspaper club room

The members of the newspaper club were having a good time, each of them happy to have done so well on the paper. They didn't notice right away when the door open, but they did when the girl from earlier grabbed the closest person to her and slammed Moka onto the ground.

"You are all responsible for why I cannot be with him, and I will make sure that you are out of the way. Permanently," Mizore said, her arm turning into an ice blade.

"Hey, get away from her!" Kurumu shouted, kicking Mizore in the head. The act didn't work though, as chunks of her face fell off, ice revealed underneath.

"This is but a shadow of me, but it will be enough to remove you," the clone said, bringing the blade down.

Lake

Alessandro stood up, finding himself unsteady over the ice. He looked up to confront his foe, Mizore Shirayuki. She was walking up to him, ice blasting up around her as she moved forward. He tried to stand, but the ice was slick and his legs didn't agree with how thin the ice was. When he did finally stand, the ice started to creep up his body and lock his legs in place. Now he was ready.

"You know, just because you're an ice woman doesn't mean I'll go easy on you," Alessandro warned. "This is you only warning, release me."

"You should understand more than others, you must be more lonely than anyone else in this place," Mizore said, walking up to him. The Ice crept up higher and higher on Alessandro, encasing his chest.

"We can be together forever, just let me freeze you," Mizore asked, placing a hand on the Shadow Knight's cheek.

"Leave him alone!" a shout came from the sky.

Both looked up to find Kurumu carrying Moka with Tsukune and Yukari running up on foot. They quickly surrounded the two, making a rough circle. Mizore's hair turned to ice and his hands turned to large ice claws, the anger building up inside. Alessandro sighed a breath of thanks, glad he wasn't alone and get called a woman beater.

"How did you survive my ice clone?" Mizore asked.

"Yukari made the supply closet attack it," Kurumu answered.

"Ha, that's hilarious, now if you don't mind, ca we please get this over with," Alessandro asked.

"Why? I think it's great that we can actually see you and you not wander off," Kurumu retorted, enjoying the scene too much.

"Fine, then you guys might want to get off the lake," Alessandro said, his hair turning white and eyes starting to glow.

"Why? We're here to help you," Tsukune wondered.

"Because, it's about to become extra-baked!" Alessandro shouted, breaking the ice prison. Ice shards flew in all directions, but were melted by the time they reached everyone.

Fire started to dance on his arms, the heat growing rapidly by the second. The newspaper club members all ran to the shore, not wanting to get a bath in the lake. Mizore was unable to move, the heat almost unbearable for her. She tried to throw ice missiles at him, but they all melted before touching him. She tried to scramble away as he walked towards her, the ice cracking underneath her. Just before the ice broke, the heat was gone.

Mizore looked up and found him glaring down at her, his glowing eyes stabbing into her. She tried to think of something to say, but was at a loss for words. She had never experienced this before, this fear that manifested itself in her being. She only knew that it was radiating from him.

Alessandro didn't say anything, choosing to just leave. He walked past everybody, not a sound leaving him as he hiked back to school, his powers receding as he moved. The group looked at Mizore, only to find her running in the opposite direction. They didn't chase after her, as she had tried to kill them earlier. They instead chased after Alessandro in a vain attempt to find out what had happened.

They didn't get anything out of him, just deciding to follow him as he made it back to the school and into the newspaper club room. They all wondered why and followed him in. He sat down and stared out the window, obvious that his thoughts were elsewhere. The mood in the room was dropping by the second, his presence directly affecting anything the group wanted to do. Eventually, Kurumu had enough of it.

"Hey, if you're just going to sit there, then at least tell us what the hell happened," Kurumu asked.

"You want to what happened?" Alessandro asked. "I ran off someone who loved me, they didn't know me, but still loved me. And you want to know how I feel? I feel like shit, and I know she was right. I am alone."

"What are you talking about, you have us?" Tsukune tried to reassure.

"Mizore was right, I am alone. But I do have people I can talk with," Alessandro said, looking up at the group. "Those guys at the Wrestling team are a bunch of wimps anyways, they only know fighting and working to fight, they don't understand hanging out just to hang."

The newspaper club member didn't know what to say, they just stared at the Shadow Knight as he spoke at them. He didn't seem to want a response yet either and continued with his monologue.

"I thought I could get by with being the guy that everyone hated, as I was used to being hated by monsters, but I can't keep going through with it. Mizore wanted to be with me, even though her actions were a little different, that doesn't change the fact someone acknowledged me as something more than a hard ass," Alessandro spoke, standing at the end. "I'm going to go find her, you want to join me, that's fine. It not, I won't hold it against you."

Just before the group could answer him, a loud commotion was coming from the hallway. Yukari got up to see what was happening, finding students and teachers moving towards the clinic. Nekonome-Sensei ran past the room, finding the club members there.

"Oh, you all are still here," Nekonome-sensei pondered quickly.

"What's going on out there?" Tsukune asked.

"Oh, it's your classmate, Shirayuki-san. She's gone and gotten herself into a lot of trouble," Nekonome-sensei told the group. Alessandro moved forward and spoke to the teacher directly.

"How? And where is she?" Alessandro asked, energy radiating from his body.

"Meow, come see for yourself," Nekonome-sensei said, crouching down slightly from the intimidating energy.

The group followed Nekonome-sensei to the clinic, a large crowd gathered around. They were able to push past, as the students moved aside for the teacher. Inside the room, the current gym coach, Kotsubo-sensei, wrapped in bandaged and unconscious on the bed. The nurse was out of the room, as they had done everything they could to help him. Now the group wondered how this had happened.

"Meow, we found him frozen and were barely able to unfreeze him. The only one able to do this is Shirayuki-san, and she's currently nowhere to be found," Nekonome-sensei told the group, her ears lying flat on her head in sadness.

"She didn't do this with intent to kill, but for protection," Alessandro stated, peering at the man from the side of the bed.

"What makes you say that?" Kurumu asked.

"I am able to read the powers over him, and the power used on him is that of Mizore, but it is not that of malice," Alessandro said, placing a hand on Kotsubo-sensei's forehead. "The ice was used as a defense mechanism, one that he tripped when he ran into her. I can't tell if it was on purpose or accident, but that doesn't matter."

"And wouldn't that matter, don't we need to know if he met her on purpose or if she attacked him?" Yukari asked.

"No, it doesn't," Alessandro snapped back, even causing Nekonome-sensei to jump back. "Psychologically, Mizore-san wouldn't go looking for a fight. She's distraught and anyone who would disturb her would have to be intentionally trying to hurt her. Mostly likely, Mizore-san would just run away and find a new place to wallow in."

"So, what you're saying is that Mizore-san didn't attack Kotsubo-sensei on purpose?" Tsukune asked, trying to follow to quick words of the Shadow Knight.

"And that Kotsubo-sensei intentionally attacked Shirayuki-san?!" Nekonome-sensei questioned.

"Yes, and yes. We have to find her. In this state, she is more apt now to harm herself. And I can't let that happen, when all of this is my fault," Alessandro said, hanging his head slightly. "Tsukune, you and everyone else stay here, I'll go find her and bring her back."

"No way, we're going to help you. The last time you two were alone, she almost froze you!" Tsukune tried to argue.

"Fine, but don't expect me to take you with me. I am already searching for her power, and I've found it. And don't worry, I'll be fine," Alessandro said, slinking into the shadows and disappearing. Nekonome-sensei was surprised at this.

"How did he do that?" she asked.

"We're not allowed to tell you, it would be dangerous if you knew what he was," Kurumu answered.

"Come on, we need to start looking. He still might need our help," Tsukune said, the group all agreeing and heading out of the clinic.

On the way out of the building, they ran into Ren, who was just coming to find them. She had a small stack of books in her hands and was surprised to see the group running towards her. They all stopped and Ren quickly started to talk, as she figured they had somewhere to be and fast.

"This Shirayuki chick is definitely different. She was here on the first day, but then went home right away after a group of boys were frozen. Officially, it was labeled an attack, as Shirayuki-san was unable to defend herself to the school. But from the looks of the report and the complaints brought towards the boys since, it seemed like Shirayuki-san was the one attacked and ran away out of fear," Ren quickly said, finally catching a breath of air.

"We're on our way to find her. Alessandro has a head start, and we need to find them before something bad can happen," Tsukune quickly explained.

"Then let's go," Ren agreed, and the group was again on the move, and nothing was about to stop them.

Cliff overlooked the water

Mizore was huddled in a type of fetal position, crying lightly. The only thing worse than was being denied her affection was being attacked by a teacher who was trying to rape her. She stood up and looked out at the blood, red water, thinking of what she should do next.

No one would notice me if I disappeared again. No one would even care either, just a few steps, and all this pain will be gone. Mizore thought, now on the very edge of the cliff. It would be quick.

"Stop!" a voice rang out behind her, causing Mizore to turn and find who it was. He eyes widened at whom the voice belonged to him. Mizore just stared, surprise that he would actually care about what happened to her after he had not returned her feelings.

"Please, don't do it," Alessandro pleaded, covering the distance between them quickly. "You have more to live for than you think, just don't end it because of something too quick for someone to handle."

'Too quick for someone to handle?' What does he mean by that? Mizore thought, wondering what it was that he could have to say that would keep her from ending her useless existence.

"I know at first that I didn't return your feelings, and that was because I was afraid too," Alessandro said, now just a foot away from Mizore. She looked up, her eyes red from crying, but a small veil of hope remained. "I've lost a lot in my past, and I didn't want to be hurt again, but I'm willing to try and make it work. You were right, I have been alone, for a long time. Even with Tsukune and his friends, I'm still the outsider, still the loner. I thought that was to be my life, forever alone. But I'm willing to try with you, if you are still willing to."

Mizore started to weep and ran forward, hugging the large Italian. He was a little surprised, but quickly returned the affection. He started to feel the cold creep from around her arms, but he didn't stop it. The cold never bothered him anyway. They were still in the hug when Tsukune and his entourage arrived, and it was definite that they were surprised at how quick the situation had been defused.

But they weren't out the fire yet, as out of the foliage, one of the wrestling club members came waltzing out. And it was the team captain himself, Choke. He didn't stop or allow his presence known until he was running both Mizore and Alessandro off the cliff. The only thing that saved the two was the fact that Alessandro grabbed hold of the edge of the cliff. Choke looked down and glared at him, anger and hate growing in his eyes.

"Did you really think that you would be allowed to stay in our club? I know your type, and you would never agree to the rules of the Committee. Besides, no one will care if you just vanished anyway," Choke said, pressing his foot on Alessandro's fingers.

"You're wrong on that one," Kurumu shouted, flying in and kicking him in the side of the head. "You owe me."

"Yeah, I know," Alessandro acknowledged, Choke being moved out of the way enough for Alessandro to not have his fingers. "Tsukune! Moka! Can you guys help with Mizore, get her out of here!"

The two ran over, grabbing Mizore from Alessandro's arms and pulling her up. They moved over to the edge of the forest, far enough away that they won't be involved, but close enough to watch what was happening. Alessandro pulled himself up and motioned for Kurumu to leave, as it was his fight. Kurumu silently moved out of the way, allowing the two to stare each other down.

"So, now do you think we can have a fair fight?" Alessandro questioned, preparing for the assault.

"You're too stubborn to be allowed to stay without us getting in trouble, so you have to leave. And I know you, you won't leave quietly," Choke retorted, clenching his fists.

"And how would I do that?" Alessandro asked, still wondering what he was talking about.

"You would never bow to them, and everyone knows it. You are no longer a part of the wrestling club, and they want you to be sure that you won't be able to come after us. I wish I was sorry, but the truth is hard," Choke replied, charging at Alessandro at the end of his answer.

Alessandro didn't bother with a replied, as he lowered his shoulder and flipped Choke over his back when the large captain collided with him. This didn't leave him down though, as Choke quickly returned and landed a right hook into Alessandro's temple. The blow would have knocked out any lesser man, but this just seemed to infuriate Alessandro.

In the blink of an eye, Alessandro was behind Choke, holding him in a sleeper-hold. The fight would have been over, but the Captain of the Wrestling team wasn't going to go down that easily. His frame started to grow at an increased rate, Choke quickly towering over the trees and being wider than Alessandro could hold onto. The Shadow Knight fell to the ground, backing up to watch as Choke revealed his monster form: a giant. As he finished growing, he turned to the slightly stunned Alessandro and stepped on the Shadow Knight.

The giant smiled, thinking he had won. But it was evident he was mistaken as he raised his foot in pain, finding an armored being underneath. The pure energy was radiating from the being, everyone takes steps back to keep from passing out from the overwhelming power. The being stood to his full height, towering over the group at a full 12 feet tall. Choke stared in confusion, trying to figure out what it was that was standing in front of him.

"You should not have attacked me," the being said, terror and death spreading just from his voice. "Now you get to see me at a power level you could only dream of."

Before the giant could react, the armored begin had jumped up to the height of the giant's head and delivered a kick with enough force behind it to topple the giant onto his back and unconscious in just a few seconds. The armored being landed on top of the giant, looking around and finding the group. He walked towards them, they only flinching slightly from the energy as he got closer.

"Now you see how powerful I am, do you still want to be with me?" Alessandro asked, stopping in front of Mizore.

"Why would you want to be with someone as weak as me, if you have so much power?" Mizore asked back, saddened that he was so powerful.

"It'll keep me grounded, and I don't care how strong someone is, I care about them," Alessandro said, changing back into his human form. "But if they are strong enough to catch me is a bonus."

With that, he fell forward, his energy leaving him. Mizore reached forward and grabbed him, leaning him onto her. The group was a surprised and help Mizore carry him to the clinic, laying him in a bed. No one tried to stop them, mostly because the news had gotten around the Kotsubo-sensei had attacked Mizore, with more help from pictures taken by Gin. After a few inappropriate images also fell out of his pockets.

The next day; the Newspaper Club

The newspaper club members all sat around their table, tired still from the events of yesterday and from chasing Gin around the room to kick his ass. They were about to call it a day, as nothing new could be thought of at the moment when the door to the room opened. The temperature dropped and Mizore walked in, but with shorter hair and a smile on her face. Behind her walked in Alessandro, still looking a little tired but happy none the less.

"Hey, glade to see you're okay. What are doing here?" Tsukune asked.

"Mizore wasn't at school when everyone got a club, and I got kicked out of mine. We were wondering if we could join here, as word got out that I'm a 'stubborn ass who will ruin your club.'" Alessandro asked.

"Well, I think we should asked Gin, but he isn't really around enough anyway," Tsukune said, turning to the other three and them having a quick vote. "Okay, you two can join."

"Thank you, we won't disappoint you," Alessandro said, bowing slightly to show his respect.

"You better not, or else you're back out looking for something else to do," Kurumu warned.

"Don't worry, I won't let him. He'll be a good boy while I'm around," Mizore promised, patting Alessandro on the head. He made an indifferent look and knelt down so Mizore wouldn't have to reach so high up.

"Well, then let's get started on a newspaper!" Yukari shouted, everyone agreeing and sending out items they could use.

As the group made the paper, a figure was outside the window. A dark cloak adorned the being, hiding the gender and shape of the person. A smile grew on the beings face, one of caring and love, not of malice and destruction. The being placed a hand on the window, the hand feminine and manicured with no rings on it.

"Be well, my son, I can't wait to meet you in person. But that day must wait, for the rules here are not friendly to us. Take care of your love, for you have earned it," the woman said, a motherly tone echoing from the voice.

And just as soon as she was there, she vanished in a flash of pure love. The energy was so strong, the harem around Tsukune pounced on him, finally being broken up by Alessandro. But just after Moka had sunk her teeth into Tsukune.
