At the Aono residence...
Tsukune's mother was watching the news to make herself paranoid (that's all the news is good for, especially when you believe it). "All you wives out there! We're talking earthquakes, fires, lightning! Not to mention husbands, it's insane! You just never know what kind of crazy catastrophe's gonna happen next!" The news reporter said.
"Oh, my gosh, this sure is scary." She said.
Back with us...
"The sky... What the heck is that?!" Tsukune asked.
"I told you to stop asking retarded questions!" Sai snapped, punching him in the face, then looking back at the cracking barrier.
"The great barrier that give protection to Yokai Academy is breaking apart." Ruby said, appearing from nowhere. "Most likely, it's leaking huge amounts of monster energy into the human world." She continued to explain.
"Didn't we seal Lilith's mirror away so that wouldn't happen?" Kurumu asked.
"She's right, why is this even going on?" Mizore asked.
"Oh, my gods, they're agreeing!" Erika said worriedly.
"Yeah, I'd make another apocalypse joke, but it's already here." Dimsom
"More importantly, why do we all sound so calm right now, this is some shit going down right now!" Nicolas said (seriously, they aren't really that worried when they're talking in this scene).
"Because, there's a rosary that regulates the great barrier, but it cracked under the sudden and powerful onrush of monster energy." Ruby explained.
"Well, good job on that one, Kyoko." I said, looking at her.
"Wait, a rosary?" Moka asked, holding hers.
I started to understand what she was thinking and Tsukune looked at her trying to think like she was (good luck with that dumbass), but then the barrier broke more revealing more of this world to the human world and vice-versa. "What happens if that thing breaks apart?!" Kyoko asked, grabbing Ruby's shoulders.
"A flood of monster energy will call forth an army of savage beasts. The entire human world will be plunged into deadly chaos." Ruby said.
"Doubtful. Do you realize how many protectors the human world has? You monsters may be tough, but here's a list of people your whole army won't stand a chance against: Dante and the DMC gang, Asura, Ryu Hayabusa and anyone else from Ninja Gaiden, Bayonetta, Deadpool, Alucard... Wolverine and the rest of the X-men... Vergil..." I listed.
"Us..." Erika and Dimsom added.
"We're gonna die! I knew it! I knew you freaky monsters were something to be afraid of!" Kyoko said in fear.
"Man, you're faster to change sides than Babe Ruth." Sai said.
"And now Tsuki, auntie and me will be eaten by a horde of ravenous monsters!" She continued.
"Did you not just hear the list of people who will prevent that? There's plenty more I didn't list but didn't want to out of either my lack of respect for them or doubt that some of them could." I said, turning to the 4th wall. "I would've said Superman, but then I remembered some of the monsters are magical." I explained.
"I can't let this happen!" Moka said, clutching the rosary and running off.
"Moka, hold on!" Tsukune said.
"Where are you running off to?" Yukari asked.
"No way!" Ruby said, realizing her plan like I did.
"I like this plan." I said, following her.
In the barrier generator room...
Moka got there first as we followed and looked at the remains of the rosary. "It looks exactly the same as mine." She said.
"Stop!" Tsukune said.
"No, it's fine, keep going." I said reassuringly.
"Tsukune, I need you to help me!" She said.
"I can't..." He said, finally realizing the plan.
"Chicken-shit." Nicolas said.
"Stop being a selfish little prick, it's for the greater good!" Damion snapped.
"I want you to take my rosary off and put it in place of the other one." She explained.
"No, if I do that, you'll change into the other Moka!" Tsukune said.
"Exactly, that's why this plan is so awesome!" I said.
"But I need her!" Tsukune said.
"You're pathetic!" I said, kicking him in the chest to knock him down, then jumped down to her. "I'll do it myself." I said, grabbing the rosary and giving her one final look. "Goodbye, Moka." I said, taking off the rosary, moving the pieces of the shattered one and putting hers back in place.
"I really did it. I fought just as hard as the other me would've..." She said before she turned.
"Moka!" Tsukune shouted, trying to reach her before she turned, but it was too late. He sank to his knees in despair.
I shook my head, but decided to make up something off the top of my head for something of a eulogy/sacrifice speech. "Her bravery and selflessness was admirable and commendable and her friendly, gentle, soft and kind personality made her a wonderful person to be around and... She'll be missed. That's all I got." I said, shrugging at the end.
"Not bad." Damion said.
"That's about as heartfelt as you can get from Draco." Sai said.
"Still, it at least SOUNDED like he meant it." Nicolas said.
"Look, that's the best I can do with no prep time." I said.
Tsukune looked up at me, glaring at me. "You!" He said, getting up and punching me in the chest over and over, even though both of us knew it wasn't doing anything. "You wanted this all along, didn't you?!" He asked, continuing to punch me.
"Would I sound like an asshole if I said yes?" I asked sarcastically.
"You always liked this Moka better! And when the chance presented itself, you didn't hesitate to get rid of her!" He continued.
"That's not ENTIRELY true, but all's fair in love and war." I said.
"Tsukune..." Moka said, a look in her eyes that I didn't think was possible: A mixture of sympathy and annoyance.
"You bastard... She was my first friend... My best friend... I loved her..." He said, crying a little and still throwing weak punches to my chest.
"Bored now." I said, pushing him back onto his ass. I then looked at Sabrina as she walked up. "So... I just stopped the apocalypse... Pretty cool, huh?" I asked.
"Yeah. Not bad. You've got my attention now. That's a pretty good start." She said, putting a hand on my shoulder.
"Our Draco's saving the world! They grow up so fast!" Nicolas said.
"Yeah. He did a pretty good job. We should all be..." Sai started, before he saw his sister's hand on my shoulder. "Very... Proud... of him..." He said, his eye twitching dangerously.
"Sai, calm down... No reason to get all worked up." Erika said, reaching Super Saiyan God and restraining her boyfriend, before looking over to see Dimsom having a similar reaction. "Dimsom..?" Erika said worriedly.
"Urge to kill...rising..." She said, with her teeth grinding together.
"Oh, shit!" Erika said, who is now Super Saiyan Cyan(Blue) holding back her friend/rival.
A few weeks later...
The great barrier was fixed, everything quieted down on campus and everything went mostly back to normal. If you ask me, it was a little better than normal. We were now in class and Ms. Nekonome was as cheerful as ever. "How is everyone doing?" She asked happily, her tail wagging in plain sight. "Now, why don't we take roll?" She said calling off our names and when she got to Moka, she got no answer, but that's because the sexy, badass vampire was reading a wrestling magazine.
"I love that woman." I said silently.
"Um, excuse me, Ms. Akashiya..." Nekonome said again.
"Yeah, I'm here." She said in her usual simple, emotionless tone.
"Alrighty then, moving on." Nekonome giggled nervously.
Later, after class was over, but still in the classroom...
"Hey, Yukari, I'm wondering what we should focus on for the Yokai Gazette's next feature?" Kurumu asked.
"You've got a point, our main articles have been getting kind of stale lately." Erika said.
"Silver lining: My arson articles are kicking ass." Sai said.
"I guess you can say that article was FIRE? No? Okay, I'll stop." I said.
"Yes. Please." Both Aisu and Damion said, deadpanned.
"And that's saying something if arson is the most popular thing in our paper." Dimsom said, deadpanning.
"Well, what do we all think?" Erika asked.
"Maybe something about questions that might be on the mid-terms?" Yukari suggested.
"I was thinking something about stalking and not getting caught, what do you think?" Mizore asked.
"You aren't that good at it yourself." Dimsom said to her.
"No, none of those ideas really do it, do they?" Kurumu asked.
"Moka, what about you? What kind of feature do you think we should do?" Yukari asked.
"I can't wait to hear this." I said eagerly.
Moka looked up from her magazine and smiled at me, then looked at the rest of the group. "Big story on kicking ass." She said.
"YES!" Us 4 badasses and Aisu agreed at once.
Moka then set her magazine down and stepped forward a bit to give a demonstration. "Flying kicks! roundhouse kicks! Spinning kicks! A ton of different ways to kick someone ass!" Moka said as she landed from her roundhouse kick to spinning kick combo.
"Impressive." Dimsom said, nodding.
"Damn she's got my vote for an article about that." Damion said.
"Yeah, mine too." Erika agreed.
"If you want me to, I could preform all of them for you right now." She added.
"Here's your target!" I said, holding Tsukune in front of her.
"I think we'll pass, but kicks could be a really nice piece! Maybe it could help students lose a little weight." Tsukune said.
'Not as much as what I've been trying with Dimsom.' I thought, remembering a late night activity. It did calm my hot alien wife after a little interaction with Sabrina after I saved the world. Afterwards, she is okay with Sabrina.
The next day...
"Man, having to do P.E in the morning seriously sucks." Kurumu said.
"Kurumu, you are seriously lazy, you know that?" Yukari said.
"That's pathetic." Dimsom said.
"You can say that again." Erika said.
The girls then caught a glimpse of the guys and rushed up to us. "Draco! So the guys are in the gym today, too, huh?" Kurumu asked as she rushed up.
"Yep, playing basketball and the guys and I have been working on kick-ass trick-shots." Sai said, fist-bumping Damion.
"Bitches 'bout to get dealt wit'!" I said.
"Pity da fools." Nicolas added.
"And you guys won't believe who became our new gym teacher." I said.
"I thought Dumplin was our gym teacher. What happen to him?" Dimsom asked.
"Well..." I started.
Flashback
The four badasses, Aisu, Tsukune and several unimportant characters were lined up, facing the Demon God for some reason. "Gentlemen...and Tsukune, I have to tell you guys that I'm not really gym teacher. Never really cut out for it. Sorry...not really. I took it so I can spend time with these guys." He said pointing at me and my fellow OC friends. "However! Dumplin found a better replacement. And it's someone you know very close Draco."
"Huh?" I asked.
"You could say SHE'S family, like LITERALLY blood related. Like siblings, even." The Majin hinted.
"Get on with it!" I shouted.
"Yeah! Get on with it!" Sai shouted as well.
"YEAH! GET ON WITH IT!" Everyone else shouted.
"Jeez, my earholes! Anyways...come on out, Dumplin's replacement!" He shouted.
Suddenly a blood portal opened up and walking out of it was none other than my older sister, Nisha, who is now clad in red short shorts with black biker shorts underneath, black sneakers and a white tanktop with black sports bra underneath while her hair is done in a ponytail.
"Sis?" I asked in surprised.
"YES! YES! A THOUSAND TIMES YES!" Sai exclaimed.
"Okay, try to calm yourself Sai." Damion said.
"Okay, students, you all may address me as Coach Bloodgrave or simply Coach Nisha." She started, then she looked over at Sai. "Except maybe you, Sai. You can call me whatever you want." She then winked at him.
"I love my life right now!" He cheered
"Oh gods, please kill me." I muttered.
Flashback end
Kurumu now was rubbing her boobs on my chest. "Be sure to watch us real good when we're stretching, okay?" Kurumu asked.
"I'll watch Dimsom and Moka, not you." I said as Lady pulled her away.
"Hey, everybody!" Moka called out as she walked up.
"What do you want?" Kurumu asked, scared.
"You looking for a fight?" Mizore asked.
"Now, now, Mizore, no need to start stuff, we're all friends here." I said.
But Moka walked up, between them and surprisingly took Kurumu's place, rubbing her boobs into my chest. "No, I want a piece of this action, too." She said, then tried it, although a little bit more awkwardly than Kurumu. "So it's like this? Am I getting it? Is this the right motion?" She asked, somewhat confused sounding.
"Not bad, keep trying." I said.
"This is actually a lot harder than it, looks, how am I doing now, huh?" Moka said.
Later, in class...
"Okay, then! Who'd like to give it their best shot and try to translate this poem? Mr. Aono?" Ms. Nekonome asked.
"Oh, here we go." I said, pulling out my camera to record the imminent fail. However, Tsukune didn't seem to be paying attention.
"Tsukune?" Aisu asked.
"Hey, Tsukune, you listening?" Mizore asked, turning around to face him. Still no response.
"He never listens." Damion sighed.
"That is why he fails." Nicolas said in Yoda's voice.
"Earth calling Mr. Aono." Nekonome said lightly.
"Dumbass, wake up!" Sai said, kicking his desk... Still nothing.
"I'll try it." Moka said, standing up, so I put away the camera and watched. "It is yet because I sleep while thinking of you, that every jet-black night, without fail, I see you in my dreams, though it helps not." She read beautifully despite not putting any tone in as usual. "That it?" She asked.
"What an amazing job, absolutely perfect!" Nekonome said happily.
"Definitely better than what I can do, I still can't read this stuff." I said, the other 3 badasses nodding in agreement.
Later...
Moka, Dimsom and I were walking to lunch, when suddenly we were stopped by her 3 freshman fangirls. "Moka, you're the best!" The blue-haired one said.
"What are you doing for lunch, you want to eat with us?" The blonde asked.
"Please have some special tomato juice, I made myself!" The pinkish-red-haired one said.
"Huh. We haven't seen them since like episode 2 of this season..." I said.
"Enough, you dumb groupies!" Kokoa said, flying in from nowhere. LITERALLY flying.
"Okay, wait, what?! Since when can you fly?!" I asked.
"Moka is MY big sister, so you better not try to move in on her." She said, landing between them and us.
"Damn right! Ms. Kokoa's already got dibs on Moka's popularity, whee~!" Kou said.
"Man, for a bat, you can take a serious pounding. From getting the shit kicked out of you in one episode to getting smacked out of the air the next, wow." I said to him.
"Oh, come on! No fair, Kokoa!" The blue-haired one said.
"Please, just let us call her big sis, too, okay?" The blonde asked.
"Not a chance." Kokoa said, lifting her head and closing her eyes arrogantly, then turning to the side and crossing her arms. "I finally got her turned back into my real big sister and she's all mine, got it?" She said.
They all whined at this. "Kokoa, you're so stingy!" The pinkish-red-haired one said as the three of them left.
"Come on, let's go!" The blue-haired one said as they left.
"Wow, Ms. Kokoa, you really showed them, whee~!" Kou said as Kokoa opened one eye to see them leave, before closing them happily and turning to where she thought Moka was.
"Okay, Moka, now we can eat our yummy-wummy wunch, just you and me!" She said, but was shocked to see we were no longer there, causing her to stand on her tip-toes and scream with her pigtails flailing up and down somehow.
Meanwhile...
"We gave her the slip, huh?" I asked. We were now on the roof with the rest of the added-in gang to eat our lunch.
"That's what happens when you have your eyes closed for most of the scene." Dimsom said.
"That and Kokoa's about as smart as a brick wall." Erika said.
"Yeah, but she makes up for it by being able to effortlessly smash that wall." Sai said.
"She could be great in this team if she wasn't so full of herself and looked down on everyone else." Damion agreed.
"Oh well, screw her." Dumplin said, shrugging his shoulders.
"Definitely her loss." Nicolas agreed.
We then noticed Tsukune on the roof, eating his lunch alone as well. "Tsukune." Moka said, getting his attention. "You okay? You seem a bit down in the dumps." She said.
"Really? I wouldn't say I'm down in the dumps." He said.
She started to realize it, but I knew it was bothering him, as did the other guys, as he's been sulking about it on the way back to his dorm ever since she became her true self again. "Again? Really? She was a phantom of the rosary. She was never real. The feelings and memories you had for her may be nice, but they're nothing but an illusion. They were never real" I said.
"They were real to me!" He snapped.
"Yeah, well I feel the same way about pro wrestling." I said.
"Tsukune, look at me." Moka said, looking in his face. "The face and eyes you're looking at are the ones of the Moka you've known all this time." She said. "You've probably heard all of this from my sister, but back when I was a little girl, this is what I looked like all the time." She said.
"Yeah..." He said quietly.
"Born a badass!" I said happily.
"I guess what I'm really trying to say is the other Moka you've spent all this time with and have grown to care about is just a phantom. Do you see what I mean?" She asked, causing him to remember her. She then stood up, walked back to me and put her hand on my shoulder, then looked back at him. "Please just remember what I told you, Tsukune. You need to accept that the Moka you knew isn't ever coming back." She said.
"Darn shame, but I think we can all live with this." I said simply, reaching into my bag for a pastrami sandwich.
"Stop it, Draco." Tsukune said in somewhat of a growl (you guys should know what I mean, it's in every anime, when the character is mad, they say it with anger, but it's also somewhat quiet).
"What?" I asked, pulling out the sandwich and taking a bite. "Did I strike a nerve? Sorry, but that's way too easy to do with you." I said.
"I said stop!" He snapped, standing up. "Ever since she was gone, all you've done is tell me she's not real or tell me why things are better this way! I liked it better the old way! So stop saying how good things are now!" He snapped.
Everyone were silent and wide-eyed. Dimsom, while being surprised, also knew what was coming. "He's buying himself a death sentence." She said.
"He gon' die." Dumplin said.
"Tsukune, stop before this goes any further." Moka warned.
"You're only gonna get hurt." Dimson said.
"I don't care! If I can make him stop bashing the Moka I loved and how I felt about her, I'll take as much pain as I can!" He said, rushing in.
"Oh, you stupid idiot." I said, finishing up my sandwich, then bitch-slapped him with my dragon tail to the other end of the roof. "Now stay down and forget about the other Moka coming back." I said as we all walked away and ate near the door to the roof.
On top of the globe thing, Kokoa watched us. "Draco Bloodgrave. He could be a problem. I'll have to keep an eye on him." She said.
In the power room...
Ruby was observing the rosary and found it to be working fine. She then reported to the director. "We haven't had any issues with the new rosary. There's no need to fear the collapse of the Great Barrier." She explained.
"Moka Akashiya, She certainly saved us from peril this time, eh?" He asked, turning to Ruby.
"Um... Listen, about the rosary... I've seen the broken one and compared it to Moka's. And as far as I can tell, they seem to be identical. Why is that?" She asked.
In an instant, he was right by her ear. "The answer to that is simple." He said, causing her to step away. "They were crafted by the same person, Ruby." He explained.
"What does that mean?" She asked.
"What I'm about to tell you right now must remain a secret between the two of us. Do you understand?" He said.
She nodded, then blushed a bit. "I will do whatever you ask of me." She said (that could be some really sneaky shit right there!).
The next day, in class...
"And there you have it! That's it for homeroom, but remember, folks, tomorrow we're having the future paths information session." She said, continuing on, but that's when we zoned out.
"Ugh, I don't need to hear this. I already know what path my life is gonna take me on." Sai said, each of the guys nodding.
"Yep. A full-time badass mercenary extraordinaire!" I said.
"Yeah, not to mention famous rockstars! Immortal badass!" Nicolas said, holding out his fist, which we did a group fist-bump for.
"Yep. Smooth sailing for us." Sai said.
"That reminds me..." Tsukune said, pulling out a paper.
"But the good news is you only have class until noon!" Nekonome finished happily.
"YES!" Everyone cheered.
Later, Tsukune was on the phone calling his mom. Oh, the little momma's boy... "What's the matter, Tsukune?" His mother asked.
He crumpled the paper he had in his hand as he continued to talk. "I don't know... It's nothing, I... I guess I just wanted to hear your voice." He said (oh, you little suck-up).
"Well... Ah, come to think of it, we had some excitement here the other day." She said, shocking Tsukune as she explained. "We had a huge earthquake and a big storm at the same time! Were you guys okay over there?" She asked.
"Uh... Yeah." He said.
"Oh, that's right. I meant to ask you!" She said.
"Yeah?" He asked.
"It's about that girl who visited the Bloodgraves and who you came over with for a little bit, Moka Akashiya, how is she?" She asked (OH! That's gonna sting, isn't it, Tsukune?!).
"Oh. Well, you know, she's doing fine, why do you ask?" He asked her.
"It's about Kyoko when she got back, she keeps crying on and on about how she did something terrible to that girl." She said.
"Everything's fine. Just tell Kyoko... That there's nothing for her to be upset about." He said.
"Alright, will do! Oh, I wanted to tell you, Tsukune, you should bring that nice young lady back for another visit. Kyoko would LOVE to see her again" She said (Yeah, uh... Ain't happenin').
"I'm sure she would." He said.
Later...
Ruby was sweeping outside when she suddenly noticed Tsukune walking off,all depressed-looking (get over it, you baby!). He continued on down the path, remembering their times together again, looking down at his hands, about to cry. "Oh, Moka... I just wanna see you... One more time..." He said, crying. Ruby was hidden in the shadows, but I walked past him to go to the dorms, but grabbed him by the lapels and lifted him off the ground.
"For the last time, Aono, get the fuck over it! Nobody who watched this episode in the history of people who watched it feel sorry for you past this point. For the last 10 minutes, they've just been waiting for you to stop bitching! She's gone, not coming back, boo-hoo, end of story! Suck it up and get over it! Jeez, it took me about this long to get over the Undertaker's retired wrestling career, that's worse than this, so you should man the fuck up!" I said, tossing him to the ground, walking off.
Back in his dorm...
Tsukune was sitting in his dorm, looking at Moka's dorm, remembering when they'd look across windows at each other, but now he was looking in a dark room, dimly lit with candles as the vampire, the demon hunter and I were having another night of ecstasy. Suddenly, a rock hit his window and he looked down to see Ruby waving him down, giggling. "Ruby?" He asked, then they met up and talked by a fountain. "It's kinda late, you know. Is something wrong?" He asked.
"I'm just... Having some regrets." She said.
"Regrets about what?" He asked.
"It's a long story since I came here." She said, turning away a bit. "The director's been taking care of me (pause tho?). In return, I've been managing the Great Barrier for him. But in the end I failed. I couldn't keep in intact. And it was because of my failure that Moka had to-" She started before he interrupted (well then, thank you for failing!).
"Hold on, Ruby, that wasn't your fault!" He said.
"It was!" She said, turning to face him, then walked up. "Listen, Tsukune. I'm disobeying a direct order by doing this!" She said.
"Ruby..." He said quietly.
"There's something I'm not supposed to tell anyone, but I'm gonna tell you, Tsukune... We can bring her back. The Moka we all know and loved. But there's only one way." She said, the screen going up to the sky and an image of the director appearing in it, looking rather grabby.
"We can bring Moka back?!" He asked, to which she nodded.
The next morning...
5 mothers stood in front of the gates of Yokai: Yukari's, Mizore's, Kurumu's, Sai's and mine, all having been informed of the situation. "Good to see you, again, Shizune." My mom said, with a smile greeted the fire demon's mother.
"You as well, Luna. It's just unfortunate we're meeting under such wild circumstances." Shizune replied.
"Yes, I see. Least you're the only sane person I know in this group I can talk to. Unlike some people." Mom said, as she turned her head to both Mizore's and Kurumu's mothers who are both bickering like high school girls.
She sighed at this. "Indeed." She said, before turning to the bickering mothers. "If you girls keep acting like children, we'll treat you like such and give you a spanking. And here's the paddle." Shizune said, pulling out her terrifying, double-bladed scythe, Soul Reaper.
The two feuding mothers were now scared shitless, holding each other in fear as the witch sweatdropped at this. "Yes, ma'am! Please forgive us! We meant no harm!" The two rivals said in fear.
My mom smile at Shizune's handy work. "Thanks for that. Now these two won't be such annoyances for now." She said.
"It comes from experience. It worked with my daughters and it works for them." Shizune said with some pride as they continued towards the school.
Later, in the school..
"Papa! Mama, this way!" Yukari called out as our mothers, now accompanied by our fathers, walked up to us.
"What's up with you two?" Damion asked Sai and I, seeing how we looked somewhat tensed up.
"Well, things are going better than I expected, but our battle-obsessed father is in a school full of powerful monsters and if they don't hide their auras well enough, I fear most of our fellow students and our teachers may very well be slaughtered and this school ripped to shreds." Sai explained.
"Good thing our moms are here to put 'em check." I said.
"Agreed." He said.
"Got it, no letting your dads fight people." Nicolas said, processing that in his mind from the look of it.
"You got here early. The future paths information session isn't until later today." Mizore said.
"There's nothing wrong with being early. No time like the present, isn't that right, darling?" Tsurara said to Mizore.
"There's something strange about the way you put that." Mom said.
"But if she means what I think she does, I can't but agree." Pops said, then walked a little close to me and smelled. "So, my son, have you decided on Moka?" He asked.
"The badass one? Still thinking." I answered.
"Ah. Just take your time, son." He said.
"Hey, where is that Tsukune boy and his parents?" Mom wondered looking around.
"We haven't seen him all day, praise the lords. And his mother is probably at home paranoying herself with the news." I explained.
At the Aono residence...
"It's no laughing matter, mother-in-law. Daughter-in-law problems are rotten." The news-reporter said.
She shivered at this. "Oh, dear, I got a shiver up my spine." She said.
Back with us...
We read the scene above and I smirked. "Well, I sure hope someone picks up that phone." I said.
"What?" Aisu asked.
"Because I F*CKING CALLED IT!" I said, laughing.
"Seriously, we should try to find him. Doesn't he still have importance to the plot?" Nicolas asked.
I sigh. "Unfortunately, yes."
Near the tunnel that leads to the human world...
The bus driver was smoking a cigar when Tsukune hit his brakes on his bike in front of him. "Whoa, you sure seem to be in quite a hurry, kid." The bus driver said.
"That's right, I am! I'm heading straight for the Northern Barrier!" Tsukune said.
"If you'd like me to, I can give you a lift." The driver said.
"No, this time I'm on my own! This is my journey!" He said.
"Suit yourself. If you wanna get to the Northern barrier, take a left at the cross in the tunnel and go from there. Good luck, you've got a long road ahead." The driver said.
"Thanks! See ya!" He said, taking off.
"Hey, kid! After all you've went through at this school, do you ever regret coming here?" The driver asked.
Tsukune merely turned to him and smiled. "No, not a bit!" He called back as he entered the tunnel.
"Good answer, kid." He said, quickly pulling out his lighter, lighting the cigar and putting it away just as fast. "But still, the real question is whether or not he'll be able to make it back from that castle in one piece." He said.
(Moka, don't worry! I'll get you a new rosary and bring it back here if it's the last thing I do!) Tsukune said in his mind as he continued down the tunnel.
Kokoa watched from a cliff on her bike as Tsukune went through as Kou shivered on the ground beside her. "Can we go now? Can we go, whee?" He asked weakly.
"There's no way in hell I'm gonna let you ruin everything, Tsukune! Not while I'm still breathing!" She said, her eyes flashing pink with monster energy before she took off.
We read the section above, learning where Tsukune's going, but I pulled a bed out of my blood portal and laid down. "You know what?" Wake me up when I care." I said, attempting to sleep.
"You know, if Tsukune gets that rosary, then the Moka you know and love will be gone. This time, probably for good with no permanent way to get rid of the rosary." Nicolas said.
My eyes snapped open and I transformed into a dragon and flew off at blinding speeds, screaming. "YOU WON'T FUCK THIS UP FOR ME, TSUKUNE AONO! I'LL GET YOU! YOU WON'T ESCAPE... MY WRATH!" I shouted as I flew towards the tunnel.
"I guess he cares now." Sai said.
