The hallways of the academy were quiet as classes were going on and nobody was around in the halls. Students were going about their day, just trying to get through another day at school and waiting for the big dance tomorrow in the auditorium. Even the teachers were waiting for the day to be over. Not because of the dance, but because most of them didn't want to be there anymore than their students. Still, footsteps were heard out in the halls as two students were running quickly back towards the entrance.

"I hope the headmaster wasn't right about Ruby being in danger," Moka said as she and her boyfriend ran through the hallway

"Something tells me he knows what's going on. Still, we better hurry," Tsukune said as he kept looking ahead.

"I wonder if Rason found anything over the forest," Moka said

"I hope not, something about this strikes me as bad news," Tsukune said worriedly. The two ran down the halls to regroup with their witch friends outside. Just past the hall they dashed down another girl was running in fear. She was running in fear of what was behind her, and was looking around frantically.

'Rason! Where are you? Please help!'

Kurumu ran down the hallways as fast as she could, stumbling over once then quickly regaining herself. She dashed down the hall and around the corner, then ducked back to peer back down the hallway.

"I think I lost him… I can't believe this…" she breathed out shakily. Dark had tried to force himself on her, and she was worried the invisible boy could be anywhere nearby to finish what he started with her.

"I have to find help," she said while holding back tears and trembling. She looked ahead and saw a boy walking down the hallway. He had jeans on but no shirts. Around his neck was a gold chain with a golden cross on it. His blonde hair was neatly combed and his wings behind him were retracted a bit. Her eyes widened upon seeing him and she dashed to him as fast as she could.

"Rason!" she cried out with tears coming from her eyes. The boy looked over to her puzzled, then with worry as she dove into a hug with him while crying.

"Kurumu? What's wrong?" Rason asked as he held the crying girl.

"Oh Rason! Please, you have to help me!" she cried as she looked up to him, eyes wide with fear.

"What happened? Are you ok?" he asked worriedly.

"I... I… he…" she stammered. The boy held her close and looked down into her eyes.

"Kurumu, tell me what happened," he said with great concern. She shook her head as a tear rolled down her cheek.

"Dark… he… he…" she wept out.

"Dark? What about him? What happened to him?" the angel replied.

"He… he tried to rape me!" she cried out then buried her face into his chest. The angel just stared off ahead wide eyed in shock as the girl cried into his chest.

"What?" he breathed out. The girl cried a bit more then looked back up to him.

"He tried to force himself on me in the hallway. He tried to grab… he tried to…" she cried out then buried her face back into his chest. The angel just stared ahead with those words sinking in while Kurumu held onto him tightly.

"Please, you have to do something," she said softly. The girl sobbed a bit then looked up and stared at the angel with worried eyes. His eyes were glowing brightly and he was looking ahead with a deep glare. He was growling as his wings started to glow a bit while his fists curled into fists at his side.

"Dark…" he said with anger.


In the halls of Yokai Academy another girl was running aimlessly for her life. Her purple hair waved around as she dashed through the halls away from him, the boy that tried to molest her.

'How could he? I thought he was our friend.'

Mizore was breathing heavily around her lollipop and looking around frantically as her footsteps echoed out in the empty halls of the school.

'He touched me… he kissed me! Only Dark is allowed to do that!'

She rounded the corner and looked around with worried eyes.

"Dark!" she called out. No answer around her.

"Where are you? Please!" she screamed out. She ran down the hall as fast as she could. Up ahead she saw a figure walking towards her. She stopped to get a good look at the boy. He had black tennis shoes on and jeans. He wore a black t-shirt with a gray button down shirt that was undone. He had black hair that was a little messy and he was listening to music through his headphones. Her eyes widened at seeing him then she raced to him at high speed.

"Dark!" she cried out as she ran closer. The boy looked up at her and gave her a curious look. Mizore pulled him into a fierce hug and buried her face into his chest. The girl started to cry while the confused boy held her.

"Mizore?" he asked. He removed his earbuds and put them in his pocket as he saw something was upsetting his girlfriend. Mizore looked up to him with sad eyes and shook her head.

"Where have you been?" she cried out.

"I've been moving some music equipment into the auditorium for the dance. What's wrong?" he asked the snow girl. His expression was normally blank, but now he was showing obvious signs of concern for his girlfriend. Even his tone was softer than usual.

"Rason! He… he…" she started then cried in his arms. The boy held her closely and looked around cautiously.

"What happened with Rason?" he asked. She looked back up to him and trembled.

"He… he tried to rape me," she said softly. Dark's eyes widened further than she has ever seen them go and looked at her with shock.

"What?" he said in a soft voice. He looked ahead down the hall as Mizore buried her face into his chest.

"He tried to force himself on me in the hallway. He was touching me and… kissing me! I had to freeze him to get away. I didn't know what to do," she said shakily and clung to him crying into his chest. After a moment she looked around her. The hallway was turning darker and darker, light seeming to disappear around them. She looked to see her boyfriend's eyes glaring down the hallway while turning pitch black.

"Dark?" she asked softly while holding him close. The boy growled and held his girl tightly. Only one thing was on his mind right now.

'He's dead.'


"Please go away!" Astreal yelled out as she fired another magical blast out towards the dark minions. She nailed one and sent it flying back into a burning heap as more advanced on them.

"AHH! Leave us alone!" Apoch cried out as she held her hands out, the minions banging on the barrier in front of her as the girl kept her shield up. Beside them another witch was waving her wand around fiercely. Black crows seemed to appear around and dive at the minions, slowing them down and causing them to scatter slightly. Ruby also called forth several rings that appeared on the ground, rings made of what looked to be strange letters and numerals. After a moment the rings burst forth with a bright glow, causing roots and vines to whip out to ensnare and trap many of the summoned beings. As the three witches fought these strange monsters that kept advancing from the nearby forest, a man with an eerie grin watched them. He merely laughed and snapped his fingers again, causing more of the black minions to jump out of the nearby forest. Some of them ran towards the witches while others flew low to the ground.

"Hahaha, this is very amusing, yet I must insist that you bring me Tsukune Aono and Moka Akashiya. I've waited long enough for them," he said with a dark voice.

"Who the hell are you anyway? What do you want with our friends?" Ruby shouted as she cast out more spells to hold the dark monsters at bay. She waved her wand around and whipped it down toward the ground, and in doing so a lightning bolt from the sky arced down and blasted a group of the dark minions into a fiery explosion. Astreal kept aiming and firing her magical bursts of power while Apoch was shifting her barrier around to stop the dark beasts from all sides.

"How rude of me, allow me to formally introduce myself. My name is Dahlzin Aragaso, I am the great vampire lord," he said with a graceful bow.

"Every stuck up vampire thinks they are a lord," Ruby muttered as she shook her head.

"Ah, but I am one. And will become one of the greatest ever known soon enough," he chuckled as he rose back up. The black humanoid monsters started to advance more quickly and in greater numbers. Astreal was firing her blasts around the area as fast as she could while Apoch and Ruby tried to slow them down with their magic.

"There's too many Ms. Ruby," Astreal said as she blew away another one.

"What do we do now?" Apoch cried out as more started to push on her barrier.

"Just give me the vampires and I may let you live," Dahlzin said with a wicked smile.

"Why didn't you say so?" called a voice from behind. The man turned to see a vampire with red pigtails and a giant morning star charging him. She swung the mace at the man, who grabbed it by the spike then tossed her over him effortlessly. The girl spun in the air and landed gracefully on her feet facing the vampire.

"Ah, Kokoa Shuzen. Yes, you may be a vampire, but you are not strong enough for my… needs," he said as he tossed the weapon to her without a care. She caught it and brought it forth to face him again.

"How dare you! Saying I'm not strong enough, who do you think you are?" she roared as she glared at him.

"Well it's true, I'm afraid you are too weak to be useful to me," he said with a laugh. The girl growled and charged at him.

"I'll show you who's weak!" she yelled and swung the weapon at him. Again he caught it and held it there. He moved the giant ball of death to the side and leaned in to face the young vampire closely.

"I know who's weak Ms. Kokoa, and you are indeed weak," he said, then tossed the mace aside and picked the girl up by the throat. She coughed and kicked while the man held her up in the air.

"So, you think you are good enough to face me? How foolish," he said with a wicked smile as the girl grabbed his arms and started choking.

"Kokoa!" Ruby called out. Astreal looked over and took aim at Dahlzin, the red glow burning brightly in her hand.

"Release Ms. Kokoa this instant!" she yelled out.

"Careful my dear, you don't want to hit this young lady do you?" he said as he waved the vampire around in front of him. Astreal glared at the man then blasted a dark minion to her side without looking. Kokoa tried to break free, but was held tightly by the elder vampire's grip. He sent two strong punches to her stomach and another to her face. Kokoa glared weakly at the man and tried to kick him in the jaw, however the vampire dodged it and grabbed her by the foot. He fiercely swung her over and smashed her into the ground face first. Then swung her back over and smashed her into the ground with Kokoa facing up and coughing out blood.

"Ms. Kokoa!" the witch sisters called out in worry. The man lifted his hand and Kokoa's body seemed to rise up, the girl lying limp in the air as she coughed a bit. The man then swung his hand back down and Kokoa's body slammed into the ground, the girl indenting into the dirt as she cried out.

"Haha, that was pathetic. Did you expect to defeat me all by yourself?" he said as he laughed down at her.

"No! Not by herself!" roared a voice. The vampire looked up to see a foot flying at him.

WHAM!

He flew back a few feet then landed gracefully back down. Looking over he saw two students standing over Kokoa. A boy with crimson eyes was glaring at him with his fists clenched and his teeth bared. Next to him a girl with pink hair was looking down at her sister with fright in her eyes.

"I see, Tsukune Aono, your power seems to have increased. Very impressive," Dahlzin said with a grin as he stood back up. He glanced next to the boy at the girl with the rosary on, the rosary that was glowing brightly.

"And Moka Akashiya, so glad you came as well," he chuckled.

"Kokoa! Are you alright?" Moka cried out at her sister. Kokoa groaned and moved a bit, but didn't get back up.

"Big… sis…" she breathed out before she lost consciousness.

"You bastard, how dare you hurt her," Tsukune growled as he glared at the vampire lord. Moka turned to glare at the man herself, her eyes letting out a few tears.

"How could you! Why would you hurt my sister?" she yelled out.

"She simply wanted a lesson, a lesson on who the stronger vampire truly is. I've only been interested in you two, these other pests have merely been getting in my way," Dahlzin said with a careless shrug.

"Tsukune! Moka! Get back, that guy has been after you from the start!" Ruby yelled out. A minion lunged at her only to be blasted to fiery bits by Astreal. Moka and Tsukune glanced over to see the dark minions walking from the forest towards them.

"I see, that must have been the summoning spell from earlier," Moka said with a worried voice.

'Be careful with this one, he's stronger than he seems.'

"What do you want from us anyway?" Tsukune said while his aura built up around him.

"Why, just to have you two over for dinner. I've been preparing my home just for you," Dahlzin laughed.

"Sorry, but we are going to have to decline," Moka said as she clenched her fist, her rosary growing brightly.

'What are you doing? Have Tsukune remove the rosary so I can deal with this bastard.'

'No, I'm going to deal with him. Kokoa's my sister too, and I'm going to avenge her. I'm going to fight alongside Tsukune this time.'

'Don't be a fool! You've only just gotten used to your power; you're not ready for this yet!'

'I won't sit on the sidelines while my boyfriend fights for us again. I'm not leaving his side.'

Behind them the witch sisters were getting pushed back a bit. Astreal wasn't able to shoot them all fast enough and Apoch could only shield one direction at a time. A dark minion swooped by and struck against Apoch's barrier while Astreal fired at another, her shot searing through his body and sending him flying back. Another raced up and grabbed her, the girl screaming as she was lifted by the throat from behind. Apoch turned and gasped before Ruby ensnared the minion with her rings of containment. Astreal dropped down then promptly fired a blast behind her at the bound monster. It jerked about then dropped dead as the witch looked around at the horde of monsters. The three witches were starting to tire from the constant magic casting, with the sisters looking around with frustration while Ruby was breathing heavily, her spells being cast slower and not as effective against the horde.

"Enough of this! Apoch! Astreal! Target their master; let's put an end to this now!" Ruby yelled out, focusing her sights on the vampire lord. The witch sisters walked up beside her and focused their sights on him as well.

"If we kill him the summoned beings should all disappear as well," they said in unison.

"Sounds like a plan to me," Tsukune said as he prepared to attack. Moka got into a fighting position as well, ready to follow her boyfriend.

"I don't think so, we must be going after all," Dahlzin said, and snapped his fingers twice. The monsters all howled and spread out their wings, taking to the sky around them. The group looked up and around at the circling monsters with worried glances.

"Astreal!" Ruby yelled out as she cast out some crows to fly out to them. Astreal started to fire her shots and take out what she could while Apoch shifted her barrier to face above them, the shield blocking a few from diving onto the group.

"Now then, if you would be so kind as to accompany me back to my tower, I'd love to have a talk with you two," Dahlzin said with a grin.

"I don't think so!" Tsukune yelled out. He dashed forward only to be cut off by a flying minion. He stopped and kicked the monster in the head, sending it into the ground with a fierce crash.

"You won't get away with this!" Moka said as she ran forward. Another minion dodged in front of her to grab her. He grabbed her arm, and she immediately swung the monster over her into the ground with a loud crash.

"Haha, not bad you two," Dahlzin called out. He snapped his fingers again and the minions in the air all dove for the vampires.

"Look out!" Tsukune cried out.

"Tsukune!" Moka yelled as she braced for the monsters attack. They dived down and attempted to strike at the vampires but smacked into a clear wall that flickered and then bounced right off. Dahlzin eyed the witch sister with her hands outstretched towards them.

"Please leave my friends alone!" Apoch cried out. Astreal then fired up at the group killing as many as she could. A few minions were shot down by her powerful magic and burst into flame when the crashed into the ground. Ruby's crows were flying around the sky keeping some of the minions busy as the elder witch waved her wand to create more thorny vines to ensnare the approaching minions with.

"Hmm, how annoying," Dahlzin said to himself. He snapped his fingers again and the minions dove towards Tsukune and Moka from the side.

"Look out!" Apoch said as she shifted the barrier over. Some of the minions hit the flickering wall while a few others dodged over and flew at the vampires. Tsukune and Moka each hit a monster in the jaw sending them away, but more dove in and tackled them to the ground. Tsukune kicked a minion up fiercely from the chest and rolled over. He jumped up and sent a fierce kick to the one holding Moka down. They got up and looked to the sky where more were circling around them.

"There's too many!" Tsukune yelled out as he watched them carefully.

"We need to take down the leader!" Ruby yelled as she cast out more crows towards the vampire lord.

"You witches are such pests," he said as he snapped his fingers again. More of the dark minions then dove towards the vampires with outstretched arms. The vampires watched as they again hit an invisible shield.

"Looks like that won't work," Moka said as she smirked at the vampire. Astreal took a shot towards Dahlzin, the blast and Ruby's crows each colliding with a minion who jumped in the way before hitting him. The blonde haired witch growled then fired again, the shot once again striking a passing minion before reaching the vampire lord.

"Dammit," Tsukune yelled as he glared at the man.

'We need to get closer to him!'

"AHHHH!" a voice cried from behind. The group looked to see Ruby being carried up by two dark minions, each holding her tightly. The witch thrashed around as the winged monsters flew her up into the sky above the group.

"Ms. Ruby!" the witch sisters cried out.

"Let her go!" Tsukune yelled as he ran at the vampire with anger. Before he could get closer more of the black monsters dove in front of him and pushed him back. Focusing his power he pushed them aside and sent a fierce punch to one of them, shattering its skull and sending it flying back. Moka darted forward and kicked another back into a group of them then looked over with anger at the vampire lord.

"Haha, since we don't seem to be able to talk privately here, how about you and your girlfriend follow me back to my tower? It would be so much quieter there so we can discuss… things," Dahzlin chuckled as the minions flew over to him with Ruby. The witch yelled as she kicked about while the dark minions held her tightly. Tsukune and Moka glared at the man with anger as the witch sisters looked to their fellow witch with worried eyes.

"I'll take this one back with me as insurance. You two will come to my watchtower on the cliffs and you will come alone," he said as he grinned up at the elder witch. She was struggling to get free and glared at him.

"If you harm a hair on her head…" Tsukune said while growling. The vampire laughed and looked at him with an amused smile.

"Now now, I assure you my guest will be fine. For the time being," he sneered. He snapped his fingers and a bright green glow engulfed them.

"Come at once, and come alone," his voice called out as the glow grew brighter.

"Tsukune!" Ruby screamed before the glow shot off past the forest at high speed. The remaining minions took flight and followed after their master as the group looked into the distance with worried eyes.

"Ms. Ruby," Astreal said softly. Apoch looked out toward the forest and started to cry.

"Damn, what does he want with us?" Tsukune yelled out as he walked back to the group. Moka ran over to her sister who was still lying on the ground battered, the elder sister looking at her with teary eyes.

"Kokoa! Speak to me!" she cried out as she kneeled down beside her sister. The young vampire groaned a bit but didn't get up.

"She needs the nurse, quickly get her inside," she said to the witch sisters. They looked to each other and nodded.

"Yes, of course. What will you do?" Astreal asked as she and Apoch picked up the bruised redhead. Tsukune and Moka looked to each other with determination.

"We're going to get Ruby back," Tsukune declared confidently. Moka nodded and walked over beside him.

"Please hurry. We'll get the others to join you as soon as we can," Astreal said sadly.

"Yes, please help Ms. Ruby," Apoch said softly. They started to carry the vampire off to the academy while Tsukune and Moka looked towards the forest.

"We have to hurry," Tsukune said as they started to run after their captured friend.

"Let's go, we won't let anything happen to our friend," Moka said as they dashed into the forest.


Elsewhere in the academy an angel was walking down the hallway with a succubus following closely behind. His wings were retracted as he walked slowly while he looked around. His eyes were set into a deep glare and his fists were clenched. Behind him the worried girl looked around nervously, always staying close to the glow of her boyfriend.

"When I find him…" Rason grunted as they walked down the hallway.

"I still can't believe he did that," Kurumu said as she looked around. She stopped when she bumped into Rason.

"Rason?" she asked quietly. He was looking ahead of them with a focused glare. She looked down the hall to see what he was staring at. Her eyes went wide and she backed up behind the boy worriedly. On the other side of the hallway light seemed to disappear completely. Yet in the darkness two figures stood. One was a boy with pitch black eyes fixated on the angel, and behind him was a girl with purple hair who looked down the hall nervously.

"Mizore! Get away from him!" Kurumu yelled out to her friend.

"I should say the same to you! Your boyfriend tried to force himself on me!" Mizore called back while holding tightly to Dark's arm. Kurumu looked at her in shock, then to Rason. She shook her head and looked back to the snow girl.

"You're crazy! Dark tried to molest me! My angel did nothing wrong!" she yelled back.

"Dark would never! Your angel tried to have his way with me! He kissed me!" Mizore called back.

"Don't defend that shadow demon! My angel would never do such a thing! Your demon tried to rape me!" Kurumu yelled out.

"Enough!" Dark yelled out getting everybody to be quiet. Mizore glanced to him as he had his eyes narrowed at Rason.

"I've heard enough," he said sternly.

"You have a lot of nerve standing there like that after what you did to Kurumu," Rason said with anger as he walked forward.

"You touched my Mizore, and act like I'm at fault? You will pay for what you've done," Dark said coldly as he walked towards the angel.

The girls watched as the two boys walked up to each other and glared into each other's eyes; one's pitch black and the other's glowing bright.

"Last chance to beg for forgiveness buddy," Rason said as he cracked his knuckles. The area around Dark grew darker as he growled at the boy with wings.

"There will be no forgiveness for you," he said with malice. Without hesitation Rason grabbed Dark by the shoulders and flung him into the wall, the demon crashing through it and into an empty classroom. Dark got up and charged the angel, tackling him and knocking him back into the hallway and into the other wall. Dark punched him twice in the chest and threw a punch to his face. Rason caught the arm and kicked the boy hard in the gut, then punched him in the face, knocking him down to the ground. The demon vanished in a black wisp, then shortly after Rason was thrown into the classroom again. Dark reappeared as he jumped in after him, eyes locked into a cold glare. The girls ran up to the room and looked in as their boyfriends started to violently attack each other.

"This is all that demon's fault!" Kurumu cried out as she watched Rason take a swift kick to the jaw.

"It's your angel's fault, he tried to rape me!" Mizore yelled back as Dark took a punch to the stomach.

"How dare you say that!" Kurumu quipped back while Rason was thrown across the room.

"Because it's true!" Mizore yelled out as Dark was punched out through the wall next to them. The girls watched the boys with surprise as Rason tackled Dark and knocked him into the adjacent classroom, this one not being empty. Screams were heard and students started to run out and away from the area in fright. Sounds of destruction were heard from inside the room as dust and debris shot out of the opening and doorway. The girls just watched the commotion, frozen in place by fear.

"Um… wow… they are really going at it…" Kurumu said nervously.

"Yeah, maybe they should take this outside…" Mizore said softly.

Another loud explosion was heard from the classroom and a shattered desk flew out. The girls looked to it then to the room, both unsure of what to say.

"What's going on here?" a voice called out from behind them. They turned to see Apoch and Astreal looking at them curiously.

"Dark and Rason are fighting," Mizore said looking back to the brawl. The sisters looked to each other than to the girls with worried expressions.

"Why are they doing that?" Astreal asked.

"Dark tried to molest me!" Kurumu yelled out.

"Oh my, he did?" Apoch said covering her mouth.

"No, Rason tried to have his way with me!" Mizore yelled out at the succubus.

"He did?" Astreal gasped.

CRASH!

The girls turned to look into the now deserted classroom. Desks and chairs were strewn about along with rubble and broken glass from the wall. Rason was standing beside the open wall where the windows used to be with his wings outstretched, looking outside with a cold glare.

"Dammit, why won't you stay down?" he yelled before he dove out of the building.

"Well… at least they moved the fight outside," Apoch said softly.

"Come on, we better make sure nobody else gets hurt," Astreal said as she and Apoch ran into the room and headed for the opening in the wall. Mizore and Kurumu looked to each other with saddened eyes. After a moment they followed the two girls outside, worried about what had gotten into their boyfriends.


On the other side of the academy a young girl with red pigtails was lying down in the infirmary. Kokoa was groaning in pain and fidgeting around slightly while a doctor was busy bandaging her up.

"Oh dear," a nurse said as she came in and walked over to the bed.

"What happened to this one?" she asked worriedly.

"I'm not sure, those assistants to the headmaster dropped her off, and then ran out in a hurry," he said as he tended to the wounded girl.

"Oh my, is she going to be ok?" the nurse asked sadly.

"I believe so. Good thing she's a vampire, her wounds are healing nicely. Still, I wonder what could have caused her this much pain," the doctor said with concern.


Yukari was sitting in homeroom class with a saddened expression. None of her friends had shown up since she last saw them in morning and she was starting to get concerned. She glanced around to all the empty desks in the room with a worried expression.

"Where is everybody?" she asked looking up.

Suddenly the room shook violently and students started to panic. The teacher looked around worriedly as the class started to look around in fear.

"What was that?" a student called out.

"Why does this always happen in this school?" another nervously said while ducking down.

"Now now, keep calm class," Ms. Nekonome said nervously as she stood up.

"What happened? That sounded like it came from inside the school," Yukari said to herself nervously. Suddenly the door to the class opened and two girls ran in. They looked around frantically then ran over to the young witch. She looked at them with surprise then stood up.

"Apoch? Astreal? What's going on?" Yukari asked the twin sisters.

"Please come with us Ms. Yukari," Astreal said with an urgent voice.

"We have a big problem," Apoch said with a worried tone.
