Wow… That was so much longer than I had anticipated… School… Just blew up in my face… So much… Stuff… Homework… Cursed… But… This time… Chapter… Extra long… Just for… You guys… Enjoy…
(Tsukune's POV)
Tsukune sat on the stairs as she thought about his life and his problems. He was tired from being continuously drained by Moka, and she was unrelenting. He really couldn't refuse her requests. He sighed.
"Hey, Tsukune!" A voice called out to him, the warm afternoon seeming to stretch out the words.
"Oh, good morning Gin-sempai" The club president raced to catch up with him. He stopped, leaning down to catch his breathe.
"You sure like to get up early in the morning don't you?" Tsukune stared.
"Err… Sempai? It's already lunch" Gin shrugged.
"Eh, whatever. I think I just like to sleep in. So, since it's already lunchtime, we'll have our second meeting outside. C'mon, we should go first" Gin walked to the edge of the building, then asked without looking
"Are you coming or what?"
(Moka's POV)
Ahhh… There really was no comparison. Tsukune's blood was so much better than tomato juice. It was also a very nutritious breakfast…
'Maybe I should go ask for more? But wouldn't that be rude… But it's so delicious…' She stood where she was, pondering her options, when Naruto, who had just been lying on her shoulder, hissed and spat. Moka followed the fox's gaze, and saw Gin and Tsukune walking side by side, to the back of the school.
"Now why would they go and do that?" She wondered aloud. Naruto kept up his fit, so Moka made the decision to go after them.
'It wouldn't hurt to just go and see what they were doing' Patting Naruto's head in an effort to try to calm him down, Moka hurried after the boys.
(Gin's POV)
While on the outside he looked calm and collected, whistling to the afternoon sun, inside he was laughing manically to himself, marveling his genius.
'I'm such a genius for thinking of this plan! It's so simple, why didn't I think of this before? Moka will be all mine, and Tsukune will never again be a problem! AHAHAHAH!'
"Um… Sempai? Where are we going?" Gin coughed and straightened out his thoughts, forcing himself to concentrate.
"Oh, just to one of the meeting spots. I already told Kurumu and Moka the location, and they said they would catch up later" He said in what he thought was a reassuring tone, but it didn't look as if his junior was really buying it.
"Aha, here we are" Coming to a halt, Gin stopped in the middle of the two school buildings, an alleyway, right underneath a window. Gin faked a yawn and stretched his arms.
"Well, since we're going to be waiting for a couple minutes, Tsukune, as the only other male member of the club, man to man, I want to show you something" He gestured for Tsukune to come closer, and pointed at a drum lying on the ground.
"Step on that, and look through that window. I promise you'll enjoy what you see" Hesitantly, with a few more encouraging gestures from Gin, finally caving to curiosity, Tsukune stepped onto the drum and peered through the window. His reaction was a mix of fear, awe, surprise, and enjoyment. Behind the wall, behind the pane of glass, was the girls changing room, already filled with half naked women.
Snap
Tsukune fell of the drum, hand clenching his nose to keep himself from losing any more blood.
"W-w-what—!?"
Gin was holding one of the older cameras, the ones that had their photos developed by the camera. He picked up the photo and smirked, holding it up for Tsukune to see.
"What do you think? Pretty good quality huh? Lets hope so, so everyone can see that Tsukune was peeping in on the girl's change room. Oh the horror" Tsukune couldn't speak, partly form the blood, and partly from shock. But Gin didn't need to be a genius to guess what he was thinking.
"Why you ask? Well, that's easy. When I put this picture all over the school, even if you don't immediately get expelled from the school, with your reputation of being that one bastard who first met Moka, it'll spread like wildfire, and nobody, and I mean nobody, will trust you again. Moka won't even look at you, and I'll be there, with HER to shove it in your face"
Gin held a hand to his face, howling with laughter.
(Tsukune's POV)
Tsukune sat there, realizing the full severity of the situation. If that was true… He imagined Kurumu, but more importantly Moka's reaction to the news.
They would be angry ashamed, and most likely not believe a word he said afterwards. Their backs turned to him, while the other students lined up the hallway, laughing, jeering, whispering, hating. What was stopping him form tearing his sempai apart right now? Why didn't he just kill him? Nobody would ever know… Nobody would ever see… Then this would have never happened… They could've been attacked by something… And only Tsukune barely survived because of a selfless sacrifice from Gin, with no one the wiser… Yes… Do it now…
'I can't do something as horrible as that! What am I saying… But… It's the safest way… NO!'
"No… I can't…" What was he thinking? Gin cupped a hand to his ear.
"Eh? What did you say? No? You're in no position to say anything!" Tsukune's rage boiled inside, churning, angry at Gin's arrogant manner.
'Just because you're a monster…'
(Gin's POV)
"So what do you have to say now you stupid—"
Wham
Without warning, Gin found his sight reddening, almost blacking out, coughing blood from his lips. He nearly choked.
"W-what?" Tsukune was standing over him, and he was smiling. Gin shivered. That smile told revealed a demon that was about to play. Tsukune held up the photo, totally unblemished, despite the ruckus he had caused. That kind of speed should have been impossible in human form.
"Surprised? How does it feel to suddenly be at the bottom of the food chain? Not very nice huh? We don't need this thing anymore do we?" The photo flashed in flame and Tsukune held it under Gin's nose.
"Poof. Hey look, it's gone" Tsukune giggled like a little girl, scaring Gin even further. Had he broken?
"Hey, that's rude, I'm not crazy," Tsukune sighed. "And there's the part when you stutter 'N-no, of course not!'. Well, that's the last thing you'll ever think" Without a twitch of change in his facial expression, as if he were bored, he raised his fists, and with the speed he showed from earlier, Gin knew he would not survive.
But the blow never struck. Tsukune's fist was shaking, unable to decide in which direction to go, a millimeter from Gin's face.
"Go. Now" He didn't have to say any more. Gin scampered off, hate and jealousy already curdling, but his intuition told him not to push it just now.
(Tsukune's POV)
Tsukune fell to his knees, holding his hands, rocking back and forth, tears threatening to fall from his face.
'What did I just do? Was that really me?'
"Tsukune? What are you doing here?" Tsukune looked up to see Kurumu, and he stared into her eyes. Then he hugged her close and sobbed into her shoulder. Startled at first, Kurumu settled into a comfortable position and rubbed her destined ones back gently.
Sob…
Sob…
Sob…
(Gin's POV)
Damnit. He hadn't really hurt Gin, but although he still hated the boy, in the deepest depths of his minds, he was afraid of him. The speed he had shown just now was… almost like…
'Huh… He could be… it's possible… But one day, I'll get you back you little brat…' Gin had retreated to the place where he could feel at peace, the rooftop. Mulling and muttering over his defeat, he kept walking in circles, trying to find the best way to kill this nuisance.
It was already late in the afternoon with the sky was darkening, but the moon shed enough light to see fine, and still sore from his utter loss, he hadn't gone home, just staying on top of the roof and ranting till his throat was sore.
Knock, knock
Gin turned around, and kicked the person who had dared to interrupt his rants— Oh. It was Moka, and that stupid fox. Was he smiling? Gin regained his composure, and slicked his hair back.
"Oh. Moka. Hey, what's up? What are you doing here?" Moka tilted her head and gave a sideways smile.
"Oh, nothing much. What are you doing?" Gin smiled. He could reveal it now. His camera always printed TWO pictures, not just one, and that brat had only destroyed ONE. 'Always have a backup' that was his motto. And it had paid off.
"Well Moka… I'm afraid I have some bad news… It's about Tsukune…" Moka smile didn't waver.
"What is it? I'm sure Tsukune didn't do anything wrong" Gin shook his head. Victory was near!
"I'm afraid… Tsukune is actually a pervert. A friend of mine took a picture of him… While he was peeping on the girls change room… I'm sorry…" Gin took out the picture from his shirt pocket, and handed it to Moka. She stared at it for a couple seconds, and Gin was keeping himself from moving in and hugging her when she started to feel betrayed… just yet. He waited with bated breath for the moment her smile dropped… And waited… And waited…
(Moka's POV)
Moka smile grew when she saw the picture. The fool. Gin was really desperate wasn't he? So willing to just get rid of Tsukune just like that. Moka held the picture up for Naruto to get a good look at it. Naruto chirruped and twirled in a circle.
"Yes Naru-chan, it's Tsukune" The shock in Gin's voice was evident.
"T-that's it? Aren't you angry at all? He's a huge perv! You slapped him just for looking at your underwear!" Moka's smile just grew larger.
"Oh? But weren't you the one who tricked him into looking in the first place? You really need to think these things through, Tsukune is much too innocent for that" Gin desperately tried to bluff his way out.
"What are you talking about Moka-san? I did no such—" Moka jabbed a finger in his face.
"Don't lie to me, I was right there, and I saw everything!" Slowly, Gin let down his poker face.
"I see. Ah well, couldn't be helped. But you should still see how much a wimp that boy is! I have good looks and charms, while he's scrawny and awkward" Moka smile was still plastered on her face, but she raised an eyebrow.
"Oh? Scrawny? You mean the way he beat you down and had you at your mercy? I must say I quite enjoyed that" Gin snarled and stamped his foot.
"Shut up! I didn't lose! I just—"
"Just let him beat you down?" That was the final straw. Beautiful or not, Gin would never allow such insults pass.
"Wrong choice of words!" Gin's fangs, claws, and fur, sprouted from his body. His heartbeat slowed, and he could see the rise and fall of Moka's chest, to the lines of fabric sewn into her uniform. His human form gone, in its place was a werewolf. It wasn't the full moon, but it was enough to take care of her. His claws shined as it reflected the moons brilliance, and he made sure it wouldn't kill. But when his swipe passed, he hadn't felt anything, and there was nothing there.
"Looking for something big guy? You missed by a mile" Gin bared his fangs, and turned behind him. Moka had landed on the cover of the roof, where behind the door the stairs led.
"I'll show you what real power looks like" Moka's smile turned cold. It didn't move an inch, but lost any warmth, faked or not. Then her eyes rolled back, and she fell. Gin gentlemanly manners kicked in, and he sped to her side, about to catch her—
Smack
For the second time in the span of hours, he found himself flying to the side, a blow he had not detected until after it had struck. Skidding over the roof like a skipping stone, Gin bounced and hurtled to the very edge. Hopping back to his feet, Gin's eyes flicked from corner to corner, attempting to locate his attacker.
He found shadow, disappeared, reappeared at the other end of the roof, and punctured a hole straight through him. He fell limp, and Gin smirked. Nobody could stand against his might!
"Playing with dolls are you?" Gin swung his legs behind him, but they were caught. He twisted his head around, and the moon finally peeked out of her clouded cloak, shedding just enough light for Gin's wolfish eyes to see. And his assailant was a little blond boy, with an orange jumpsuit, and an insane grin that meant trouble.
"Ah! I just love the smell of fresh air! I haven't used this nose in quite a while!"
(Naruto's POV)
Naruto took a deep breath, and raised his arms, letting go of Gin's legs. Gin flipped away, trying to get some distance between him and this young boy. He was still in human form, yet he had been able to stop a werewolf's attacks? Gin's brain screaming at him that something was wrong, and that he should retreat immediately.
"Where the hell did you come from? And what are you doing on Yokai Academy's school grounds? We're aren't so weak as to be invaded by a single being!" The blonde yawned, as if bored.
"What's wrong with me being here? I'm a student too y'know! I learn what you do, have lunch when you do, and usually leave school when you do" Gin made a slash mark inches away from the boy's feet.
"Cross that line, and I'll consider it an attack" The child laughed.
"And yet you were oh so eager to run away a few seconds earlier. Do you still not recognize me? Let me give you a hint. Devilishly handsome, cute as hell, and a fan of orange? Ring any bells? Or how about this? I. Hate. You. Stupid. Dogs" Gin yelped in pain as agony washed itself over Gin's hand. Right where that little fox had bitten him… No way…
"You couldn't be that stupid little fox…" His smile mouth froze. Gin shielded his face and prepared himself for the oncoming attack he knew would be about to hit.
"So is that how I'm treated in this world… Disgraceful… Absolutely despicable. I should teach you your place DOG" Gin didn't move his hands, but his fear was almost uncontrollable, he wanted to run, he wanted to surrender, and beg for forgiveness, he wanted to… wait. His scent had vanished. Gin waited moments more, but there really was no more smell. HE HAD GONE! HE HAD REALLY GONE! Gin was almost in tears with relief. He lowered his arms and—
No. He was standing, right there. He hadn't moved. His scent was gone, he could hear no heartbeat, but he was RIGHT THERE!
"See? Now you can look at me. LOOK AT ME!" The blonde nearly screamed the last part, and an evil wave of premonition, aura, and killing intent washed over Gin. "MY NAME IS NARUTO UZUMAKI! I SHALL NOT BE TREATED AS SOME LOW BORN FOX!" Unable to do anything, Gin just cowered and shivered. There was no way to oppose him, no way to win, no way to escape, and no way to survive. But wait! There was! A faint glimmer of a glimmer of hope! The full moon had shown herself! Now it was time for him to fight back! Gin flexed his claws. They were sharp and ready for action. Giving Naruto a special 'asshole' grin, he disappeared, and reappeared behind him, and slashed his body to bits. But there was no blood, no nothing. It had happened again!
"You are a bad dog. I'm going have to punish you" Naruto kicked him into the starry sky, and flew after him. Gin's face was going to peel off if he went any faster, and when Naruto was on top of him, the blonde grinned, not minding they were hundreds of feet in the air, falling just as fast.
"You should feel honored. I normally wouldn't waste chakra on the likes of you, but you really need to know who your master is. Oh! Since we're in the air, how about a Chidori? Nah, that's too much for you. Never mind, I won't even need a technique" Naruto raised his hand, and the clouds shot tendrils of lightning that wrapped around it.
"Night Doggy. Hopefully you'll feel somewhat better in the morning. Or not" Slamming his open palm around the furry beast, Naruto sent the force of Nature curling throughout Gin's body, electrifying, burning, and battering him al at once. He was blasted back to Earth, not hitting the building, but creating a crater at the front entrance.
"Wouldn't want to hurt my dear blood buddy now would I. But seriously, my blood buddy's really need to lear to fight by themselves. They had better do it soon to" Naruto stayed there, floating in the sky, rolling around in hysterical laughter, in front of the moon, a shadow in the bright night. When his mad fit finally ended, he gazed at Moka and rested his chin on his hands.
'What to do with my toys… Now that I've finally gotten out of my prison, I wonder what I should do? What do you think Naruto?' The little fox in the depths of his mind shrugged and went back to whatever he did when the OTHER Naruto was out. The other Naruto smile suddenly tried to grow off his face.
"I've just had an idea… It'll take some time and patience… But still… Ohohohoho… Wouldn't that be fun… It'll be worth it…"
WHEW! Not that I've kinda gotten use to my new schedule, I can update much faster than I have now. I may even feel like writing the rest of my chapters like this, just cause now is the start of the more exciting bits! MUHAHAHAHA! I can't wait to put down all these oh so evilly brilliant ideas!
