Chapter 12: Day With A Succubus


Tsukune woke up, began his daily routine, and once he finished breakfast, he headed out of the dorms for school. It had been two days since the training. Yesterday at school, though it was Monday, everything turned out pretty good. The teachers hadn't given much homework, no one tried fighting Tsukune or any of his friends, and surprisingly enough, no blood had been drawn between the girls. That had made Tsukune happy.

After the training two days ago, the girls ended up showing him the schedule that they had concocted in order to share him without cutting each other to bloody ribbons. The boy was skeptical at first, but seeing as they had done it for him, he couldn't refuse. The fact that the four girls involved in said schedule were staring at him with big, hopeful eyes didn't much help him fight the idea either. And now it was Tuesday. He knew who was coming, but he didn't know when.

"Tsukune!" a familiar voice exclaimed from behind him. Speak of the devil, here she came now.

"Good morning Tsukune! How are you today?" asked a busty, blue haired Succubus.

"Hi Kurumu. I'm doing alright. I mean, I don't have to worry about the ghoul any more, so I'm doing great. I'm also happy that there has been less fighting between all of you girls. And fortunately, we haven't had anyone try to fight us for a while. So I do believe that I'm doing fantastic!" Tsukune said in a light-hearted tone. He was a little surprised. She hadn't grabbed his head and sunk it into her chest already!

"That's good to hear!" Kurumu replied in the same happy tone. "I have to ask though; did your transformation change anything about you? Your character? Your… morals? Are you more wolf-like even as a human?" the Succubus asked, licking her lips seductively. She was already beginning to dream of rather explicit things about the two of them in the back of her mind.

"No way! I'm still the same guy you knew. I'm not like Gin used to be. I don't plan on going that route either." the Lycaon said, catching her eye.

"Awww… you really are no fun. I guess it's back to trying to get you the hard way. Fortunately, the others aren't around, so I do believe my chances are improving already. I think I'm going to like this schedule that we made up!" Kurumu cheerfully replied while latching on to Tsukune's arm like a leech.


"Well I have to give her some credit. Had she not been committed to trying to get to him fairly, she probably would have tackled him and tried to remove his pants already." Mizore said, taking delight that for once the Succubus was playing by the rules. She and Moka were watching Tsukune and their friend. Ruby wasn't able to join them because she had to get started on work. They might not be able to interfere with anything between the two today, unless Kurumu got out of hand, but that didn't mean that they were going to put complete faith in the Succubus. So they had been spying on her since she left to join Tsukune.

"It is kind of nice that she isn't acting perverted. Look at them. They look so happy…" Moka began.

"Hey, don't start any of that. You're going to discourage me. And after all it took to make this schedule work, I'd hate to have it all fall apart because I stabbed you with one of my ice blades." Mizore shot back.

"Okay, okay. I guess I was just saying that this whole thing seems to be making Tsukune happy, as he doesn't have us fighting over him right behind him as he walks to school." Moka replied.

"Well that IS what we went through the trouble of creating this whole thing for after all." Mizore replied.


As the Lycaon and the Succubus arrived in front of the school, they drew quite a lot of attention. People were wondering where the rest of the girls that naturally followed the young boy were. They were wondering why he was only with the beautiful and rather busty Succubus, and the male population was suddenly wondering if any of the other girls were available.

As Tsukune noticed everyone's eyes locked on himself and Kurumu, he began to shift around nervously. He didn't normally care about what he looked like in a crowd, but he never did like being the center of attention.

"Don't worry about them, Tsukune. They don't matter. If anyone is curious, I'll just tell them the truth." Kurumu said, trying to ease some of the tension she began to sense within her chosen one.

"Thanks, Kurumu. I appreciate that." Tsukune said, feeling relief wash over him. He and the Succubus continued walking into the school with her latched on to his arm.


They both were now sitting at lunch, and Kurumu was sitting as close as possible to her beloved. Class had gone well, despite the fact that she had to be separated from him by those infernal desks, but she was beside him again, and she couldn't ask for more. Tsukune was eating with Kurumu peacefully and the two were sharing a pleasant conversation about nothing in particular. The Lycaon was a little surprised that the others had taken the agreement to such lengths so as not to even sit with them at lunch. He didn't really like that. He'd have to tell them about that.

The rest of the day came and went quicker than Tsukune or Kurumu could have expected. After the second half of the school day, the Succubus reunited with her chosen one and latched on to his arm. She started talking about how she didn't understand much of anything in math (a topic to which she knew Tsukune could relate) and they left the building sharing a friendly conversation. They didn't realize that they were still being stalked by Mizore and Moka.

"He really does seem happy with her…" Moka began.

"I told you not to say anything like that. I'm sure he's just feeling better now that he doesn't have to see that blue haired Succubus bleed in front of him because of a fight with me or Yukari." Mizore shot back.

"Yeah, I guess you're right. Well I'm going to head off. I've got homework to do." Moka said as she began to walk away.

"Alright. See you later." Mizore replied as the vampiress left. Just as Moka left, Ruby showed up.

"Hey Mizore. I take it you've been keeping a watchful eye on Tsukune as per usual. Anything happen between himself and that succubus today that I should know about?" the witch asked.

"No, not really. It's funny though. When we're all together, she'll try all these different tricks to try and catch Tsukune's eye, but the second that we leave, she doesn't try any of that. The only thing that I saw qualifying as odd was the fact that she didn't even mash Tsukune's head into her chest when she saw him this morning." the snow maiden responded.

"That is odd. Especially for her. Either she's really trying to win Tsukune over fairly, or she's got a hidden agenda." Ruby said.

"Nope, she doesn't. She wouldn't. And just to make sure, I'll even investigate a bit tomorrow for you. Sound good?" Mizore asked.

"Yeah, I guess that would be alright." Ruby responded. "I've got to go. Keep an eye on them for me."


"Do you guys believe this? It seems like that guy has finally chosen somebody! So now we can try our luck with Moka!" exclaimed a boy from a group that had been spying on Tsukune all day. They were surprised when he only showed up to school with Kurumu following him, and furthermore attached to his arm rather affectionately, and they had kept a close eye on him for the rest of the day.

"Well, yes, it does seem like that, but we've been wrong before. We shouldn't just rush in." said another boy.

"Are you kidding me? The first chance now or probably ever to try our luck with Moka, and you're saying we should wait? Are you nuts?" the first boy exclaimed again.

"Yeah, he's right. What are you thinking? We have to act now that we have an opportunity. If we just stand on the sidelines, she'll slip through our fingers to some other guy." a third boy added.

"Alright, alright. So we'll all try hitting on her. But let's not go overboard. And what happens if we're wrong?" the second boy said.

"If we're wrong, we'll remove the obstacle between us and Moka once and for all!" the first boy shouted.

"Okay, but for god's sake, keep it down! We don't want anyone overhearing this!" the second boy whispered. The three then stole away back to the boy's dorms to formulate their plans for Moka and for getting rid of Tsukune, should he become a problem.


Tsukune had been walking with Kurumu attached to his arm like a tumor since he left the school. They were nearing the girl's dorms now, as she got him to promise to her at lunch that he would walk her back to her dormitory. She was happy that he had accepted as it meant that she would have that much more time to spend with her beloved. She was still going to try something, though it was a longshot.

"Thanks for walking me back here." Kurumu said.

"Your welcome. It was pretty nice just taking a walk without hearing the others fighting behind me or seeing one of you guys get hurt." Tsukune said in a happy tone.

"If you're happy, I guess that means that the plan we girls concocted is working!" Kurumu said.

"Yeah, it does seem to be working. I still feel like I should do something for all of you since you all went to the trouble of putting this together just to make me happy." Tsukune replied.

"Well, would you like to come up to my room? I can cook something. That would be something nice you can do for me." Kurumu said.

"Well… I… uhh… I don't know… I've got homework… and the others might get the wrong idea…" Tsukune stuttered, trying to fit a sentence together while blushing.

"Just for a quick snack, I promise. And I won't try anything. It will just be a friendly visit." Kurumu said, minding the boy's morals.

"Well… I… okay." Tsukune said, caving in.

"Alright! Let's go!" Kurumu said, overjoyed that he had agreed. She was going to have to fight a lot of feeling though, and she was almost regretting making the 'I won't try anything' statement. She grabbed his hand and ran into the building and up the stairs until they were in front of her door. She opened it and led Tsukune into a rather cute looking room.

"Alright. So yes, this is my room. Feel free to take a look around. I'll be right back." Kurumu said, then disappeared to either make or find something that the two of them could munch on. Tsukune was astounded that a girl like Kurumu who was very perverted at times would have such an innocent looking room. There was even a teddy bear on the bed. He looked around for a chair, but realizing that there wasn't one, he just sat with his back to her bed, looking at various things in the room. Kurumu returned a few moments later with a tray of cookies that she had made the other day.

"I made them myself. Try one." She said while bending down to where Tsukune was sitting to hand him a cookie. He took it, thanked of her, and ate it. As usual, it was one of the most amazing cookies that he had ever eaten. Kurumu had a knack for baking sweets.

"These are amazing, as usual!" Tsukune exclaimed. Kurumu grew a big smile.

"Thanks! I was tried changing the recipe just a little bit. I added some cinnamon." Kurumu replied. She sat down next to Tsukune and began to eat a cookie. And so it went on for a while, the both of them eating cookies and talking about nothing in particular. Tsukune didn't even notice it when Kurumu started snuggling up against his arm. When he did notice, he didn't really care either. After about twenty minutes, he got up.

"Hey, thanks again for the cookies. Those were great. I have to go and get all my homework done now. If you could please, do you think that you could talk to the others so that we can all sit together at lunch? I appreciate that everyone is trying to keep to the schedule all of you made, but I do like seeing everyone at lunch." Tsukune said.

"No problem. And thanks for agreeing to come over. It was fun!" Kurumu replied with a smile. "Bye!"

The rest of the day had no problems, just like the first half. Tsukune returned to his dorm to catch up with his fellow werewolf and to finish his homework. Kurumu found the rest of the girls and told them about Tsukune's request, which they were all more than happy to agree to. Mizore was rather suspicious as she had seen Tsukune go into the girl's dorm with the succubus, but Kurumu quenched her fears before long. The only problem that arose was that Kurumu was unable to sleep, but that was only because her heart was still fluttering.

"I really think he likes me!" the succubus thought as she finally drifted off to sleep.


And so ends chapter 11. The girl's schedule seems to be working…

I've started into the romantic stuff, since I believe that I've been a bit overdue. I haven't forgotten the fights and stuff I promised. I'll add those soon enough. Probably next chapter. Just because I'm really anxious to write one, I'll add a very bloody fight. I also would like to apologize for writing some of the recent chapters kind of quick and short, but when I put everything I'm thinking of in, it just ends up short. Since I'll be writing a rather gruesome battle scene next chapter (yes, I've decided that fast, and while typing this), said chapter should be rather long and fulfilling. Anyways, on to recent reviews.

Kudos to a user with the pen name Nghtwng77 who has replied to every chapter so far. I appreciate it. Thanks again to B-I-N-G-O-1-2-3 for giving some positive input. And also thanks to a new guy who has reviewed named ichikogawolfdemon. In answer to what you and Nghtwng77 posted, yes I am in fact bringing Moka back to the sidelines a bit. Though I am trying to remain impartial on parings in my story, I don't support Tsukune and Moka because as I read the actual manga, I realized that she had him in the palm of her hand for right around two years and didn't even tell him if she liked him or not. I do support both Tsukune/Mizore and Tsukune/Kurumu pairings because those two honestly love him and confess it daily. And they also kind of need him. I don't really support Tsukune and Ruby because I think Ruby is a little weird. You know, masochistic.

To a user with the pen name InMyOwnMind, if he is still reading, I would like to say thank you for helping me confirm that my goal is working. I have been trying to portray Tsukune and his new powers as overpowered, and it seems that you have bought into it. If you keep reading though, you'll be in for a surprise.

Thanks again to all, and as usual, R&R (rest & relax). PhoenixSpectre has left the keyboard! (For now)
