Chapter 25

The entire Election Committee was upset. One of the candidates for treasurer had been trying to buy votes by giving copies of his old assignments to underclassmen, only to be turned in by five different students who had all received bad marks for copying off each other. With only a week and a half from the election remaining the pressure was on the candidates. Additionally, one of the vice president candidates had been caught two-timing by his girlfriend, only to come out that the third year boy had been trying to seduce votes a out of first year girls. The print shop order had to be canceled and a new ballot submitted for printing.

If nothing else went wrong, the plan was that in nine days the students would all be handed a ballot in their homeroom class to be filled out and turned in at lunch. The election committee would guard the ballot boxes, and as each student dropped off their ballot they would have their hand stamped. Tsukune had chosen the ink for the stamps himself. It was the kind that glowed under an ultraviolet light and had a sharp smell to it. He was hoping that it would keep anybody from voting more then once.

Tsukune just wanted the election to be over with as little fuss as possible. The committee would have to count all the votes, and re count them if there was a close match. The special edition of the school newspaper would be sent to the print shop with the final numbers, and the outcome would be announced on the following Monday. The class officers and the Election Committee were working extra hours to keep the candidates and their more passionate supporters form doing anything rash.

Tsukune had been unable to do more then share a quick kiss with Moka because of the extra work. They both had to spend time as class officers helping to patrol the school and dorms. This also meant that Tsukune didn't have time to spend with his other friends. He wanted to talk with Mizore, but he had no intention of going to her room until after they had a chance to talk. It also seamed that the less time he spent talking to Kurumu the more she would throw herself on him when she could. That, of course upset Yukari to no end. The only thing the extra hours that Tsukune found good was that he could work on his training. As he made after hour checks, he would practice with Tetsu Odari.

Moka felt like pouting. She missed Tsukune. She knew that they were doing important work, but she wished that it did not require so much of Tsukune's time. Being away from him made her very irritated when she caught couples out after curfew. She would take their names to turn in and they would have to write a paper reflecting on their actions. It did not help her mood at all that Inner Moka was missing Tsukune too.

"I'm Home," Tsukune's tired voice filled his dorm room.

"You look tired, Master," Ruby said as she went to his side.

Because of his reputation as a strong fighter the class officers had asked Tsukune to take the late patrols because he would have the best chance of catching anybody breaking the rules if they tried to run or fight back. In truth it meant he got less sleep for less cause. While Ruby didn't like seeing Tsukune so tired and frustrated, she didn't mind the result. If she didn't have her own responsibilities to the school she would have never left Him alone.

One night he did have to chase some students down, one after another, after another. He had been so tired he had fallen asleep with his clothes on. She had carefully undressed him and tucked him into bed. Tsukune was a deep sleeper when he was tired, Ruby had learned. Once he fell asleep, if she was careful, she could cuddle up with him and he never noticed. Ruby was probably the only person in the school that was enjoying the commotion of the coming election.

"Moka?" Tsukune said with pleasant surprise when he opened his door Saturday morning. "Please come in?"

"Thank you," She said, accepting his invitation. "I'm sorry to bother you. Did I catch you at a bad time?"

"No," Tsukune answered. "It's no bother. I have a Festival Committee meeting in a little while is all." He smiled and reached out to hug her. "I Missed you."

"I missed you too," Moka hugged him back. She looked up into his eyes and saw a hint of a blush on his cheeks, and felt one of her own.

"Moka," He said gently.

"Tsukune…" She had to swallow because her mouth was watering.

Tsukune wanted so much to kiss Moka, but he saw the glassy look in her eyes and knew he was about to get bit. He prepared himself and offered his neck to her.

"Go ahead."

Moka savored the taste of Tsukune's blood. At the same time, she felt the rush of his youki as it pulse almost with a life of its own. She held him close and felt him doing the same.

"Moka," Tsukune said her name as he savored the feel of her in his arms.

After she had finished her breakfast Moka just held onto Tsukune for a time. It felt good to have him hold her. She had missed it.

"Tsukune," She said without looking up. "When this election is over, will you have some free time to spend with me?"

"Yes!," He agreed without hesitation.

"Thank you," She looked up into his face and saw him smiling. She wet her lips.

"Moka…"

"Tsukune…" She breathed.

They came together for a lingering kiss.

"Don't work to hard today," Moka said when she finally caught her breath.

XXXXXXXX

Mizore watched Tsukune from a distance. She had been foolish to rush things with Tsukune. A part of her had wanted to be able to present her success to her mother by the school festival, but mostly she had just gotten too excited. She had proven to herself that she could get a response from Tsukune, but the back-lash had driven them apart. She knew if it wasn't for Moka then Tsukune would be hers in an instant, but the vampire had claimed him months before Mizore had appeared before him.

Mizore knew she would have to be more careful now, because Tsukune would be more wary of her. Drifting snow could trap the unaware, but for the cautious it was of little hindrance. She had done it to herself, but the worst part is that she had hurt Tsukune.

Tsukune gave a yawn so big he though his jaw would break. One of the other class officers had turned an ankle badly chasing a vandal. Another one was down sick, apparently from a chronically poor constitution. So Tsukune was pulling a double shift of grounds patrol. When he had caught a pair of third year girls behind the dorms, after curfew, with beer he had been shocked. They had clearly been drinking for a while because when he asked how long they had been drinking he had meant that night, they had told him about ho they had started drinking with their senpais in their first year.

"H-H-H-How did Public Safety not catch you?" Tsukune had sputtered.

"We save some for them," One girl winked. While she was talking a tentacle of hair was pouring beer into the mouth on the back of her head. "And sometimes we share more then beer." She played with the button's of her blouse.

"Don't try it," The other girl warned. "That's Aono-kun. You'll end up in his harem."

"That's wouldn't be too bad," The first girl said. "He must be good at something to have so many girlfriends."

"What were your names again?" Tsukune asked, trying to sound polite.

When they answered him he told them they should go back to their rooms and reflect on what they had done. They pouted but didn't argue. The first girl started for the bag that held the remaining beer. Tsukune reached for his left wrist.

"Tetsu Odari," He said. "Wake. Dance." Tsukune reached for his youki as the whip took form in his hand. He had learned that if he invested his youki into the whip it could become longer. If her used enough energy and kept his concentration he could keep incredibly precise control of the whip as he lashed at a target. As thin and supple as it was, the end of the whip was still made of iron, the plastic bag and aluminum cans never had a chance. They were destroyed in a spray of beer that made the girls jump and cry out.

"It's after curfew," Tsukune said firmly, his burning youki made his voice sound harsh to the youkai girls.

The girls left in a hurry. Tsukune lashed out at the bag and beer cans a few more times, just to make sure. Then he put Tetsu Odari away and cleaned up the mess as his youkai ebbed. High above, a crow sitting on the branch saw the whole thing. It returned to share the event with its mistress.

XXXXXXXX

"I'm glad I have you..." Tsukune said as he fought a yawn and losing.

Ruby, in the middle of serving breakfast, blushed deeply. Not only had Tsukune said he was happy with her, he had used a possessive statement. Kneeling beside him she caught sight of his iron bracelet, and blushed again as she remembered what she had heard of his skill with a whip.

XXXXXXXXXX

Yukari was concerned about her friends, and a little confused. Mizore was sitting on the far side of the table from Tsukune, and looked like she had a sour stomach. Kurumu had sat beside Tsukune and, except for a single boob rub, she was behaving herself. Tsukune and Moka were sitting very close to each other, and kept blushing when they made eye contact. She suspected something important may have happened between her two favorite people, but they hadn't told her anything. They knew she loved that and wanted them to get together so she could join them both, so if something had happened they should have told her... Shouldn't they?

She pouted in frustration. While she enjoyed spending time with her friends/rivals, it wasn't fare that they were not telling her anything good. If they would just talk to her, Yukari knew she could give them good advice. While she was at school she had been buying ecchi romance manga by mail, but she couldn't help her friends if they didn't confide in her.

XXXXXXXXXX

Kurumu noticed Yukari's discomfort and had to suppress a smirk. The succubus was sitting close to Tsukune, almost as close as Moka, and neither of the pair were objecting. Whenever it looked like the little witch was about to object to the closeness, with some casual touching, Kurumu was ask Yukari for clarification on some point of their assignments.

The one time Kurumu had asked Tsukune a question, 'Tsukune-Danna, Yukari looked like she had swallowed her tongue. Mizore had glared at Kurumu. Tsukune had answered the question without reacting. Moka had shot the succubus a frown with color in her cheeks. Kurumu had just smiled sweetly, as if everything was as it should be.

XXXXXXXX

Mizore found an opportunity. Their study group broke up early because Tsukune said he needed to get some rest, because he had another late patrol ahead of him. She had to admire his self restraint, an Moka's. Mizore knew that if she could ever get Tsukune to kiss her she would never want to stop, and would kiss him any time and any where the mood struck her. The couple didn't kiss, but Mizore could tell that they both wanted to. Moka also looked like she wanted to bite Tsukune, but that was normal.

Mizore wanted to talk to Tsukune alone. It was clear that he would not come to her room, and going to his wouldn't work with Ruby there. Trying to find him alone during any normal day never worked. But if he was doing a late night watch around the dorms or school she should be able to find the privacy she needed.

XXXXXXXX

Tsukune woke with a groan as he fumbled for his alarmclock. Its ringing cut off before he could reach it.

"It is the time you wanted to wake up," Ruby said gently. "I have a small meal prepared for you, master."

"Thank you Ruby," Tsukune made himself sit up. He blinked the sleep from his eyes and saw something dark and writhing very close to his face. "Ahh!" He jerked back and brought his had up to ward away whatever it was. His sleep fogged brain cleared a second too slow. He realized that what he has seen was Ruby's hair falling across her face as she stood next to the bed and had leaned in close to him. He realized this as his right palm connected

*Slap!*

"Ruby!" Tsukune felt horrified as he saw his friend nearly sent to her knees by the blow.

"Master!" Ruby cried, with pleasure.

Tsukune reached for Ruby to make sure she was alright. Ruby moved Towards her master, excited. His hand connected with her face again. It was less of a slap and more of a hard push, but it was not gentle. Ruby made a happy cry even as she tried to keep her balance. Tsukune, still partial wrapped in his bedding started to fall from his bed. He flailed his arms on instinct to try to keep from landing on his face, clutched at anything.

*Slap!* *Rip!*

"Yes!" Ruby cried.

"No," Tsukune protested.

Tsukune's flailing hands had made contact. First he slapped Ruby again. Then his left hand tried to find purchase where it made contact, ripping Ruby's top open. Still searching for a stable hold on something, his right hand caught her long hair, pulling it, and her down.

Ruby was filled with excitement. Her master was dominating her with his strength. He had slapped her again, making her face hot. His hand grabbed her breast so roughly it had torn her top at the seams of her top. Finally he grabbed her hair and forced her to the floor. She cried out in excitement.

Tsukune realized that his fall was unavoidable and wanted to brace himself for a bad landing. He saw a bright faced Ruby in torn clothes suddenly hitting the floor in front of his eyes. Uselessly he yelled in protest at the absurdity of the situation.

The pair landed with a thud next to the bed. Ruby had fallen a little sideways before being forced on to her back by Tsukune'd grip on her hair and was pinned in place by his hand hard upon her breast. Tsukune had fallen head first, and while he tried to stop, or at least control his fall, he had only managed to slow himself.

Tsukune didn't know if he should laugh or cry. In mid protest he had landed with his mouth open against Ruby's dazed smile. It was the accidental kiss used in comedic shows and sappy animes. He realized this even as the rest of his body landed hard upon Ruby's

Runy felt like she was living a dream. She had received such rough handling from her master and totally controlled by his strength, and then was so forcefully kissed. His body on top of hers was so heavy as to hold her helpless under him. Ecstatic, Ruby threw her arms around her master and kissed him back.

Somewhere in Tsukune's brain he processed the physical signals coming from his mouth. Where Moka's kisses were playful and almost teasing, Ruby's kiss was hungry and nearly wild. He had never though about how kissing could be different depending upon who he kissed.

Tsukune realized that he was in a bad position, and as soon as his body came to rest he tried to get up. Ruby's arms suddenly took hold of him to hold him in place. He lifted his head back, and was only able to break the lip lock with ruby because the hands he used to help push himself up were also holding her down. One hand still pulling on her hair and the other mashing her breast. Tsukune tried to get his knees under him for leverage. His left knee turned out to be between Ruby's thighs, and trying to move it forward to support him, Tsukune delivered another blow to Ruby's body.

Ruby had been on the edge from the rough, dominating treatment. Her mind was entirely caught up in the moment. And then Tsukune's made powerful contact through her skirt against her flesh.

"Ahhhh!" She cried out again as her body convulsed.

Tsukune finally wrestled free of Ruby and stumbled to his feet, breathing hard. He looked back at Ruby to make sure she was alright. He nearly fell down again.

Ruby was up on her left elbow, smiling blissfully at Tsukune. Her long skirt was bunched up around her thighs. Her right breast was exposed shamelessly, and flush from her heat. Ruby's face was red and her sweet smile was seductive.

Tsukune had to give himself a shake. He quickly turned his back to Ruby and busied himself with getting dressed. He had his pants on and was buttoning her shirt when Ruby embraced him from behind.

"That was wonderful Master," Ruby said into his ear. "I want more of your rough treatment."

"I have to go," Tsukune said, stepping from her embrace as he reached for his blazer.

Once he was out on the hall he leaned against the door and blew out a sigh of relief. He though his heart would explode. Once he had caught his breath, Tsukune set off to perform his duties.

XXXXXXXXXX

Mizore waited for her opportunity. She had prepared for her chance to meet Tsukune and carefully considered what to say. He watched as Tsukune came out of the dorm, looking flustered.

She followed him as he met a first year girl, that was the president of her class, in front of the girl's dorms. The two talked briefly before the girl dropped to all four, sprouted a pair of fox tail, and scampered off. Tsukune gave himself a shake and started walking towards the tree line. Mizore moved after him.

She saw Tsukune walking along the border between the dorms and the woods. Mizore used her powers to chill the air, creating a low, thin fog. She approached him slowly, feeling nervous about facing him after what she had done.

"Tsukune?" Mizore called.

"Who?" Tsukune turned to see who had called his name. "Mizore," He said. "You shouldn't be out here."

"I thought you might be hungry," She lifted the small basket she was holding so he could see it.

"I appreciate the thought, but it is late and after curfew." He stood, waiting, as she came closer.

"It's alright," Mizore said, unconcerned. She stopped in front of Tsukune and showed him the contents of her basket.

Under a layer of linen napkins was a pair of fresh pork buns, still warm. Tsukune could smell them, and they steamed in the chilly air. Mizore carefully lifted one from the basket and offered it to Tsukune. He accepted it with a smile.

"Thank you, Mizore," He said. He bit into the pork bun and tasted it's meaty filling. "Mmmm. This is really good," Tsukune said with his mouth full.

"Good," Mizore said with a small nod. She gathered up her courage as she watched him finish it off. "Tsukune," She bowed to him. "I am very sorry that I behaved so poorly. Please do not think badly of me."

"Mizore…"

"I know what I did was wrong," She striated and looked him in the face. You know that I love you. I let my feelings, my jealousy blind me, and I am very sorry. Please say that you forgive. Please don't hate me."

"Mizore," Tsukune said gently. He could see that the snow maiden was on the edge of tears. He opened his arms to her for a hug. Come here," He invited her.

Mizore threw herself at Tsukune and embraced him as his arms folded around her. His body was firm and warm, and it comforted her.

"Mizore," Tsukune said gently. "I cold never hate you. And of course I forgive you. How many times have I done something stupid that caused us problems? Being friends is more then just getting along when things go the way we want."

"Thank you," She sniffed, fighting back tears. She held on to him, grateful for his acceptance of her, with all of her flaws. At the same time she had to resist the urge to trap him in ice and carry him away. She wanted Tsukune so bad her body ached.

"Now," Tsukune said with a note of firmness as he ended the hug. "Go back to your room and get some sleep." He helped himself to the last pork bun from her basket with a warm smile. "I will see you tomorrow."

"Alright," Mizore said, dabbing her eyes with her sleeve. She gave him a brave little smile and headed for her room. She felt as if a huge weight had been lifted off her chest.
