Chapter 29

Tsukune felt alive and strong. His appearance was of someone filled with confidence, ability, and purpose. His shoes were polished, His trousers and short sleeved shirt were sharply pressed, and his tie was perfectly strait. On his right wrist the holy lock glittered in the light. On his left wrist Tetsu Odari was a dark coil. On his left sleeve his armband with its three stars declared him the captain of the Student Police. He was dressed sharp and stood tall. Tsukune smiled brightly as he waked through the school festival with Moka holding his hand.

Moka was a sight to behold. She was dressed in a kimono made of midnight blue silk and embroidered with white lilies along the hem and shoulders. Her pink hair was done up in an elaborate bun with a few artistically arranged falls framing her face. She had a blush to her cheeks and a smile on her lips as she held Tsukune's hand.

Together the couple toured the school festival. Both of them felt that they were living a dream as they visited game booths and sampled assorted treats. Moka was consumed with a fit of laughter when Tsukune offered her a paper tray of a traditional Japanese festival food. Chicken meatballs covered with a caramelized teriyaki glaze with toothpicks in them. She ate one and liked it's sweet flavor and crunchy texture. She was doing fine until she found out what the name of the treat was.

All around the happy couple the school festival was a happy and energetic event. The Student Police were all wearing their armbands, even if they were not on duty. It was hoped that their visibility would help protect the safety of the event. Students and alumni mingled and enjoyed the festival as the afternoon progressed into evening. Parents of many of the students toured the campus, and introduced to their children's friends and teachers.

Tsukune was grateful for Moka's company. He thrilled to be walking with her, hand in hand. She also helped keep him free of some unwanted attention. He had students from the Student Police, and others that he didn't even know the name of, stopping him to introduce family members. The adults at least were able to read the mood and kept conversations short so that Tsukune could enjoy his date. Several parents, especially mothers, of the female students that he was introduced to gave him calculating looks. Remembering his encounters with Mizore's and Kurumu's mothers made Tsukune glad that introduction meetings were kept brief.

Tsukune and Moka took their time and walked slowly though the school festival. It was mid evening when they finished their tour and found themselves on the school roof. The only light was from a waxing quarter moon above, and from the festival below. Moka and Tsukune shared a long kiss filled with emotions.

"Thank you for everything," Moka said. "I had a wonderful time."

"I'm glad," Tsukune said. "Thank you for being with me today. And thank you for understanding."

"I'm glad I could spend the day with you," She sighed. "I am still a little jealous, but I understand." She made a sulky face that was hidden in the darkness. "But I guess it is only fair." She thrust out her chest.

Tsukune smiled, grateful for Moka's understanding and approval. He removed her seal and put the cross in his pocket.

"Good evening," Tsukune said to the unsealed Moka.

"Good evening, Tsukune," Inner Moka said with a crooked smile. "You have been having a good time," She observed.

"Yes," He agreed. "Would you be willing to spend the evening with me, Moka?"

"Yes I would," She laughed as she took hold of his arm. "Let us enjoy the festival, Captain."

Together, the couple made their way to the stairs. Moka played the games with Tsukune, praising his skills and teasing him whenever she surpassed him. Every time a member of the student body showed him respect, she felt a sense of pride. When Tsukune called a pair of Student Police he caught sitting close to each other with their shinais on the floor in a maid café to firmly remind them that they were on duty, Moka suppressed an approving grin at his authoritative voice.

"Thank you for a pleasant evening," Moka said as they reached to relatively quiet area of the dorms.

"Thank you for spending time with me," Tsukune smiled. "I am glad that I was able to show you a good time."

"Come here," Moka commanded as she pulled him into her embrace.

Tsukune didn't argue or resist. He wrapped his arms around her happily in return. They shared a deep, heated kiss. Moka only broke the kiss when her other appetite threatened to get the better of her. Even after ending the hug, Moka stood close to Tsukune and rested her hands against his chest.

"You have been doing very well, Tsukune," Moka said, trying to keep control of her desires. She could feel the heat of his body through his shirt. As close as she was to him she could smell him, she could almost smell his delicious blood through his skin. She could feel his heart beating just inches from her fingers and had to fight to keep from digging her nails into his chest.

"I will leave you for now," Moka said, swallowing hard and looking down demurely. "I know you have much to do."

"Thank you," Tsukune said, passing the cross to her.

"Until next time," Moka said. "Good night." She turned away from him and tried not to hurry to her room.

"Sleep well," Tsukune said to the retreating Moka.

'Sleep well,' Moka snorted at the thought. She would not be able to sleep at all with her mind so filled with him. Once in her room she carefully stripped off the kimono and hung it up. As she put it away for the night she kept thinking about Tsukune. Even with his Youki calm she could feel it like a cool breeze in the woods. He had been so confident around the other students. She had seen the looks of admiration and respect he had earned. And there was the feel and smell of him. Moka lay down on the bed in her underwear and thought about Tsukune, and about Tsukune's body. His was so firm and warm. He was almost hot, compared to the cool flesh that she felt as her flingers slid over her body.

"Tsukune……" Moka sighed.

"So how have you been getting along with my little Kurumu?" Kurono Ageha asked Tsukune as he shook her hand.

"Fine," Tsukune said nervously. "Just fine."

Tsukune had finished a turn supervising the Student Police and was making some random checks of the patrols when Kurumu had called out to him. She had caught his arm and held it firmly between her breasts as she brought him back to where her mother was enjoying a cup of coffee at a student café.

"Just fine?" The woman's eyebrows shot up. "That is no good at all. You should just push her down and give her some experience."

"Mother!" Kurumu protested, blushing brightly.

"Errr," Tsukune choked.

"Come now," Ageha chided. "What have you done to become closer?"

"Kurumu had let me see everything and know everything about her," Tsukune said firmly, thinking of their close conversations about her nature and her desire.

"Well, that is something. What about you, Kurumu?"

"We are very close," Kurumu said confidently. "He comes to my room to play special games with me." She made their time together sound more adult in nature then it really was.

"Does he now?"

"Yes," The two students said in unison.

The adult succubus was surprised at the closeness her daughter appeared to share with Tsukune. She was also a little jealous. While she knew her daughter could have any number of boys chasing after her, Ageha was not going to protest her daughter's choice. Being a Succubus wasn't about gaining notability or power. They were creatures of desires and lived to satisfy themselves. If Kurumu was happy then Ageha was happy for her. Even so, she couldn't help having fun with the cute boy.

"If you are so close to my daughter," She said with a lazy smile. "Has she told you what her dearest desire is?" She watched Tsukune with critical eyes.

"Yes she has," Tsukune looked to Kurumu and shared a smile with her, both of them blushing just a little.

Ageha was stunned. It was the look, the expression that passed between the two and the genuine emotion she saw. She saw something in them that said that they shared something special. What shocked her most was that the boy that was so close to her daughter was almost totally free of Lust.

"Tsukune," She said in a serious tone.

"Yes?" He looked to her.

"Please take good care of my daughter."

"Mizore has told me that you have become very close to each other," Shirayuki Tsurara commented.

Tsukune was seated in Mizore's room across the table from his friend's mother. He had agreed to have dinner with her, but had not expected it to be in a private place with Mizore cooking.

"She has told me that you have shared your Warmth with her," Tsurara continued. "Have you truly become so close to her?"

"I have," Tsukune said honestly. "She is a precious friend to me."

"Then will you be getting married soon? You know that you have a place in our home waiting for you."

"I am still under age," Tsukune said defensively.

"That doesn't mater to us," Tsurara waved away his objection. "The sooner you marry the more children you can give her."

"Mother!" Mizore protested. "Tsukune has too many responsibilities to start a family right now.

"Well it is good that you are serious," Tsurara said without looking at her daughter. "And being a hard worker is good too. Mizore can be satisfied as your wife knowing that you will be there for her and your children."

"Mother!"

"I was brought up by my parents," Tsukune said, reciting one of the lines he had prepared for just such a conversation. "That before a man can consider starting a family he has to make sure he can be responsible for taking care of his wife and able to provide a good home. I have to finish school and find a good job before I can seriously consider marriage. To do anything less would be irresponsible of me."

"Just don't take too long dear," Tsurara said. "I want grandchildren."

Tsukune was relieved when dinner was over. Pleading Student Police duties Tsukune politely made his exit before he could be talked into a corner. Once he had calmly walked out of sight of Mizore's room, Tsukune let himself sag with relief and blow out a loud sigh.

Still in her room, Mizore wished she could escape from her Mother as neatly as Tsukune had. Her mother was full of ideas about what Mizore should do to bring Tsukune home as soon as possible. While Mizore very much liked the idea of having Tsukune's babies, her mother's frank advice was hard to listen to.

Kurumu had been enjoyed spending time with her mother, and surprised by how well things had gone. Her mother had always encouraged Kurumu to look beyond Tsukune. She never said to give up, a challenge was something to work at until you won, but she should find some more boys along the way to practice her techniques on. Kurumu had been stunned whine her mother acknowledged Tsukune and given him her approval to be something more then just a conquest.

Kurume sat in her room studying her secret notebook. She was working on her new strategy carefully because it might give her a chance to pull Tsukune in closer to her. Tomorrow would be the last day of the fair and everybody would be hanging out together in the evening to watch the fireworks. Kurumu planed to use the time to invite Tsukune to her room to 'play house' as the first step in her new strategy.

It was the last day of the festival and everybody had enjoyed how well it had gone. Many people credited the Student Police for keeping the peace, making the festival a bigger success then in years past. Matsumoto Akira and Sheezu Aimi, with their armbands, received many polite nods and warm smiles. It was just a short time until the fireworks, and Akira was glad that he had been relieved from duty on time. This was the first time he had ever attended such a large festival, and the first time he had a date for a festival of any size.

The first year couple walked through the festival holding hands. They were looking for a good place to wait for the fireworks, and maybe have a little privacy to share some closeness. They were near the end of the furthest row of booths, not really worried about where they walked, when Aimi's hand suddenly slipped from Akira's.

"Akira!" Aimi screamed as she was dragged away. Something had entangled her right ankle and yanked her from her feet. She tried vainly to find a hand hold to stop her abduction as she was dragged between booths and into the night beyond.

Without a moments hesitation Akira chased after her. He hurried between the booths and tried to catch up. Her terrified face as she was dragged into the darkness of the woods burned into his mind. His fear multiplied when he heard her scream out in pain. Blind to any danger to himself he rushed forward.

Keito waited in the darkness. Her webbing had caught it's target, the little deserter that had betrayed the Public Safety Commission. And as an added bonus the traitor's trash friend had followed her. Keito savored the idea of getting her revenge against Aono Tsukune by eliminating two of his followers. One she had drawn the little traitor into reach, Keito had stabbed down with one of her sharp, spider legs, spearing Sheezu through the outer thigh and pinning her to the ground.

"Aimi!" Akira cried out in alarm when he saw her bleeding on the ground.

"Hold it!" Keito ordered.

"Wha!" Akira skidded to a stop less then a meter from his girlfriend. "What is going on?"

"What is going on," Keito said. "Is that I am going to make this piece of filth pay for betraying me."

"You're mad," Akira yelled. "Aimi never did anything to you."

"Silence! I have had enough of you. My friends have come to put an end to you."

"Friends?" Akira looked around at last and saw figures in dark suits in the woods close behind Keito. "What are they doing here?" He didn't recognize a single one of the adults that watched him.

"My friends are from a group that recognizes the strength of Youkai and believe that we have a duty to show weak trash their proper place."

"But… But… This is a school!"

"This place teaches Youkai to be weak. Fairy Tale wants to see an end to this place."

"Fairy Tale!?" Tsukune had told Akira about them. Criminal youkai that wanted to destroy the peace of the school. "Why? Why come here?"

"Oh, they tried to stay away," Keito said. "They were willing to let me run things quietly, their agent in the school. But then that trash from the Newspaper Club got in the way. I was going to fix the election and buy the student council off, Fairy Tale has more then enough money for that, and run the school through my puppets. But I was betrayed again." She set a second leg against Sheezu, threatening to stab into the girl's back.

Akira looked down at where Aimi lay face down on the ground. She had been breathing hard and crying softly in pain during the exchange. Now she looked up at Akira with a determined look in her eyes, and a whistle between her lips.

"Yes," Matsumoto agreed with her. He reached for his right wrist. "Rikka Kaki, Wake. Bite!" He pulled the bracelet from his wrist and swept it horizontally over Aimi as it transformed into a heavy bladed pike.

Keito screamed in pain as her to front legs were cut into pieces. She was forced backwards to escape the blade Akira jabbed at her face. Aimi blew her whistle hard.
