Moka Akashiya has always dreamed of being with Tsukune. For a long time she knew she was in love with the boy and wished to be the one he picked from all the girls. She would stay up at night and stare out her window towards his, thinking about the boy of her dreams. When she slept she would fantasize of being on a date with him, maybe at the park or to a formal dance. She wished to be his girlfriend for so long that when he finally did pick her she thought she was dreaming again. But after being picked, learning to fight with and for him, and dancing with him at the costume dance, she knew this was no dream. She and her inner self knew this was real, and they couldn't be happier. Even though her vampire urges got the better of her and knocked her date out before anything else could progress that night, she was happy and content with just sleeping next to him. As she lay next to her sleeping prince she dreamt of him as she always did.
"Oh Tsukune, this is such a perfect day," the vampire said in her dream. She and her beloved prince were walking through a field of roses together. The sun was shining and they were still in their costumes from the dance.
"Any day is perfect with you my love," he said to her gently as his chocolate eyes gazed deep into hers. They ran and laughed together through the field, her smile and laughter drawing him to follow her wherever she went. They ran through the hills and then came to a clearing in the center, roses growing all around them while brightly shining in the sun.
"Tsukune, tell me again. I want to hear it one more time," she said as she embraced him in a gentle hug.
"Oh Moka, I love you with all my heart. And I will for all time," he said as he held her close to him. The two leaned in closer.
"Tsukune…" she said softly as she closed her eyes.
"Moka…" he replied as he leaned in closer.
"Tsukune…"
"Moka…"
"Tsukune… you smell so nice…" she said with a soft smile.
"All for you, my dear Moka," he said as he leaned over to let her bite his neck.
"Oh Tsukune… thank you," she said before she bit down. The wonderful taste was so rich and warm to her; she always savored his blood like fine wine. And the way he offered to her, allowing her to satisfy her vampire needs, made it all the more romantic to her. She was in love with this boy, and nothing could ever change how she felt.
The following morning students were starting to wake up and go about their morning routines. Well, not everybody. Being a Sunday there were no classes, so it was more like a day off. Some students took that opportunity to sleep in and enjoy a lazy morning, always good to find time to relax in this school after all. In the girls dorm building two students were walking the halls together.
"Ahh…" Kokoa said as she stretched out. She was dressed back in her normal clothing, except for one difference. Instead of the normal red bows she used for her pigtails they were now black.
"I slept like a rock last night, that dance was a blast," she said as she smiled upward.
"Yeah, I felt so tired from the dancing when I got to my room I feel right asleep," Yukari giggled as she walked with her friend.
"You know you still have your nose colored," Kokoa said as she snickered at the witch. Yukari was dressed in her usual outfit, but her nose paint and whiskers were still on her face.
"Oh! Whoops, hee hee. Yeah, forgot about that," she said as she realized. She then looked up and noticed the different colored bows in Kokoa's hair.
"Trying a different look?" she asked. The darker bows gave her pigtails a more edgy appearance, but for her she pulled it off very well.
"I like this color better," she said as she looked away. Yukari smirked at the girl, knowing Kokoa wore them to remind her of Dark.
"I wonder how everybody's night went after the dance," the young witch said looking up with wonder.
"Who knows," Kokoa said as she looked forward. She wasn't interested to hear what Moka and Tsukune did in their spare time.
"Tsukune was probably a gentleman and escorted Moka back to her room, then bid her farewell with a kiss, just like a real prince!" Yukari said dreamily with an odd amount of passion. Kokoa just shook her head and rolled her eyes in response.
They stopped suddenly when they heard a loud scream come from down the hall. The looked to each other then back forward.
"Didn't that come-" Kokoa said with worry
"-from Moka's room?" Yukari said softly. The two ran down the hall to Moka's door and knocked on it loudly.
"Moka? Are you ok?" Yukari called out. Kokoa eyed the door with concern.
After a moment the door opened and Moka stood there. She was still dressed in her costume from the night before and tears were flowing down her face.
"What's wrong?" the young witch said worriedly.
"Please help, it's Tsukune!" Moka said then ran back in. The two girls looked to each other then back in with surprise. They ran in after to find Tsukune passed out on Moka's bed.
"Wow!" Yukari said as she looked at the boy.
"Big sister! Did you…" Kokoa said with complete shock.
"Did you guys finally do it?" Yukari cheered out with a smile.
"Couldn't you have waited a little longer?" Kokoa yelled out with disbelief. Moka shook her head and looked at the boy with teary eyes.
"No! He just slept here last night, I accidently took too much of his blood and knocked him out when he brought me here," she sobbed.
"Well, I don't think he'll hate you for that. You drain him dry every day," Kokoa said dryly.
"So nothing happened?" Yukari said disappointed.
"You don't understand!" Moka yelled out and ran to the boy's side.
"I was dreaming of drinking his blood too, and when I woke… I… he…" she stammered. The girls walked closer to see him.
"I drank his blood while I was asleep! I took too much again!" she said as she broke down sobbing. The girls' eyes went wide and looked closely at Tsukune. He was paler than before and his breathing was slowed down.
"Moka, what have you done?" Yukari cried out, fear gripping her.
"How much did you take this time?" Kokoa yelled out as she looked at the boy.
"What's going on here?" a voice called from behind. The girls looked to see Rason and Kurumu at the doorway with curious expressions. They were still dressed in their costumes from last night. Well Kurumu was, Rason was only wearing his pants and had his shirts tied around his waist again.
"Well?" Kurumu continued.
"Yeah, we heard a scream," Rason said as he looked around.
The girls just looked at them for a moment then the redheaded vampire slowly pointed to Rason.
"What is he doing here so early?" Kokoa asked cautiously.
"Whoa, did you two…" Yukari said softly looking at the two.
"It's Tsukune!" Moka cried out, more concerned about her boyfriend's health than their story. The two ran in and looked at the boy with surprise.
"Tsukune? Hey, you ok man?" Rason called out.
"What happened to him?" Kurumu asked worriedly.
"I accidently drank his blood in my sleep. I took way too much!" Moka cried out and looked back to her boyfriend with sorrowful eyes.
"You mean…" Kurumu said softly with wonder.
"Is he alive?" Rason asked worriedly.
"Tsukune slept with you last night?" Kurumu finished with a shocked look. Everybody turned to her, then to Moka.
"Nothing happened you guys, he passed out last night when I drank too much of his blood when we got here," she sobbed.
"Wow, you are just taking every drop from him aren't you?" Rason said rubbing the back of his head.
"Always wondered if this would happen," Kurumu said softly while looking at the boy.
"What's going on?" a soft voice came from behind. The group looked over to see Mizore peeking in the doorway. She slowly walked in and tilted her head curiously. She was still dressed in her raver outfit from the night before.
"Mizore, it's awful, I drank Tsukune's blood in my sleep!" Moka cried out with tears still flowing. Mizore blinked then looked to the boy on the bed with a raised eyebrow.
"Wow… you slept with him?" she asked softly.
"No! I didn't, I mean I did, but nothing happened!" Moka cried out. Tsukune twitched a bit and continued to breathe quietly. Moka looked at him with worried eyes.
"Huh, he's still alive," Dark said as he appeared next to Mizore from a black wisp. He also was still in his costume from last night, minus the hat which was missing. The group looked at the two with wide eyes.
"Um, Mizore?" Kurumu asked softly.
"Wow, did you guys do it?" Yukari cheered out with a smile.
WHAM!
She was knocked straight to the ground with a fierce punch by a redheaded vampire.
"What they do is none of your business, and what is it with you and this kind of curiosity anyway?" Kokoa snarled at the witch as she twitched on the ground.
"Tsukune! Wake up please!" Moka cried out, bringing all eyes back to them.
"What should we do? Get him to the nurse?" Rason asked as he fluttered his wings.
"He's dying! He's lost too much blood!" Moka said sobbing. Everybody looked at him with worried eyes. Even Dark seemed to show some concern.
"Well, what should we do?" Kurumu asked nervously.
"Ahh! Tsukune, don't die!" Yukari cried out as she jumped up and down. Kokoa just looked at the boy with worried eyes as well.
"I don't know… this is all my fault. What have I done?" Moka cried out as she looked at her boyfriend.
"We have to do something," Yukari said scared for her friend.
"I don't know what to do… Tsukune… I'm so sorry," Moka said as she cried next to the bed. Kokoa just looked at her then to Tsukune.
'She really does care for him… just like he cares for her…'
Moka's rosary started to glow slightly as she sobbed by the bed.
'There isn't much time, his lifeforce is nearly out.'
'But what can I do? We can't move him out of here in time.'
'We have to give him more of our blood. It's the only way to keep him alive.'
'More of… our blood?'
Moka remembered back to the fight against the Security Commission's leader, Kuyou. Inner Moka gave Tsukune her blood to save his life when he was on the brink of death.
'Will that work again?'
'We don't have time to do anything else. Hurry!'
Moka looked at the boy with wide eyes. She lifted him up so he sat up on the bed side and looked at his neck.
"Moka, what are you doing?" Kurumu asked seeing her friend getting closer to his neck again.
"I'm going to give him more of my blood. It worked before, it might work again," Moka said nervously.
"More of your blood?" Kokoa said worriedly. She looked from her sister to Tsukune again.
"I have to try. I have to try anything I can to save him," Moka said as she looked at her boyfriend with teary eyes.
'Tsukune, please forgive me. Forgive me and live!'
With that she bit down on his neck and started to inject him with her own blood. Her vampire aura surged as it engulfed the two with Moka keeping her eyes closed as she focused on the transfer. Everybody watched with anticipation and hope that it would work.
'Tsukune…'
'Tsukune…'
'Tsukune… live…'
'Please… live…'
After a while she released her grip on him and collapsed back. The boy fell back onto the bed and laid there motionless.
"Moka! Are you ok?" Kurumu asked worriedly. She and Mizore rushed to Moka's side and helped her sit back up.
"Tsukune…" Moka said weakly while her eyes strained to see straight again. They looked to the boy who wasn't moving.
"Didn't it work?" Mizore said as she helped the vampire up.
"He's not moving still!" Yukari cried out.
"I gave… all I could…" Moka breathed out. She looked at her boyfriend who laid on her bed, the boy she loved and cared for with all her heart. The boy laid there, his breathing soft and short, and his skin still pale.
"Um, guys? I really don't want to have to go back to heaven just to see him again," Rason said worriedly.
"What can we do now?" Kurumu asked while starting to cry. Everybody looked at Tsukune, fearful that he would pass away soon.
"Tsukune… I love you… please, don't leave me…" Moka said as she struggled to sit back up.
"Dammit Tsukune! You can't die, you have Moka now! Don't leave her! Don't leave us!" Kurumu cried out. Mizore and Yukari looked at the boy with worried eyes, scared they would never hear his voice again.
"Tsukune…" Moka cried out as she crawled over to the bed. She gazed at her boyfriend with teary eyes again.
"I'm so sorry! Please Tsukune!" she said before she buried her face in his chest. She could feel his lifeforce leaving him, his breathing starting to slow down more. Kokoa looked at her sister than to Tsukune. She looked down at the floor and closed her eyes, wishing not to hear or see any of this.
'Dammit… Tsukune…'
She walked forward and pushed Moka off of the boy, then pulled him back up to face her. She looked at him with a sharp eye as the other watched her curiously.
"Kokoa?" Moka said as she looked at her sister.
"You can't die yet Tsukune, you promised you would take care of my big sister," the redhead declared as she tilted his head over. She bared her fangs then bit down into his neck. Everybody gasped and stared at the vampire with wide eyes. Even Dark seemed slightly surprised by her actions.
"Kokoa…" Moka said with wide eyes.
Kokoa injected her blood into Tsukune, her aura surging around her and flowing into the unconscious boy.
'You promised Tsukune. I'm going to hold you to that. Now dammit, wake up and take care of her! Wake up Tsukune, wake up!'
She gave as much as he could then stumbled back. Before she collapsed down she was caught and held up by somebody. She shook her head to clear her vision and looked behind her. Dark had grabbed her and held her up, watching her with his usual expression.
"Dark…" she said softly. He glanced to her bows and then back to her. She looked up then back to him, and then smiled softly. Everybody turned back to the boy who was still sitting upright, his aura flickering brightly around him.
"Tsukune… please… wake up," Moka said as she struggled back to her feet. She looked at her boyfriend with hopeful eyes.
"C'mon! Nothing can keep you down Tsukune, you're a vampire now!" Kurumu shouted out.
"You can beat this, I know you can," Mizore said with confidence.
"You can't die, you just can't!" Yukari cried out.
Dark and Rason watched the boy closely, both of them hoping that he would pull through.
"Please tell me… it was enough…" Kokoa said as she regained her balance. Everybody stared at the boy, waiting for anything to happen.
Suddenly a surge of vampiric energy flowed around him violently and then faded away. The boy groaned a bit then collapsed back onto the bed.
Silence.
"Tsukune?" Moka asked with a shaky voice.
"Tell me… it was enough…" Kokoa said with worried eyes.
"Tsukune…" Moka said as she walked over and sat next to the boy. She looked down at him while fighting back her tears. Everybody looked at him, the boy they all cared about, the boy who united them all together against all odds, and who had brought them each other.
His leg twitched a bit.
"Tsukune?" Mizore asked worriedly.
His breathing started to come back.
"Is he…" Yukari said leaning closer.
The color came back to his skin.
"He looks…" Kurumu said softly.
He yawned and shifted around on the bed.
"He seems…" Kokoa said tilting her head.
"Oh Moka…" he murmured with a smile.
"Yeah, I think he'll be fine," Rason chuckled.
After a moment Tsukune's eyes opened slowly and he sat up. He rubbed his head and looked around, the boy then realizing that everybody was in the room staring at him.
"Um, good morning," he said softly. He looked around at everybody staring at him with smiles and tears in their eyes, except for Dark of course.
"Is… is something wrong?" Tsukune asked tilting his head.
"TSUKUNE!" Moka yelled out as she tackled him down into the bed.
CRASH!
The bed crushed down beneath them as she hugged him tightly. The boy only managed to let out a gasp of surprise before she pulled him into a passionate kiss.
"Well, she didn't waste any time," Rason said as he rubbed the back of his head.
Everybody sighed with relief that their friend was back among them alive and well. The vampire kissed him with all her might as she had tears of joy coming out still.
'Tsukune! I love you so much, please never leave me!'
They kissed for a while then she hopped back up with bright eyes.
"Tsukune, I'm so sorry, really! I didn't mean to! It was an accident, it'll never happen again!" she pleaded, suddenly worried about how he would react. The boy looked at her confused then slowly stood back up.
"For kissing me? You don't have to apologize for that," he said with a confused smile. Moka blinked then looked at him curiously.
"Wait, you don't… know what happened?" Kurumu asked curiously. He looked at her for a moment then around the room at everybody.
"Um, did something happen to me?" he asked with a puzzled expression. Everybody looked to each other then to Moka.
"Well…" Yukari started. Moka looked down ashamed of herself.
'He's going to hate me for what I did. I can't believe I… how could I?'
"Everyone thought you tried something with my big sister. You didn't though, did you?" Kokoa said sternly while eyeing the boy.
"What? No, not at all! I just brought her back here last night… then I got really tired. Oh no, I must have fallen asleep. I'm sorry Moka, I didn't mean to be so rude," he said ashamed as he looked down. Moka just blinked at him then looked to her sister. Kokoa winked at her then looked back to Tsukune with her usual scowl of discontent.
"You better be sorry. Now anyway, you need to get out of here, this is the girls' dorm, you shouldn't even be here," she snarled while pointing to the door. Tsukune looked around nervously then nodded.
"Right, um, I'll see you soon though, right Moka?" he asked the girl with a soft smile.
"Ah, yes. I'll see you very soon, I just need to get changed myself," she said with a smile again. Tsukune nodded then slipped outside and dashed down the hallway.
"Kokoa…" Moka said softly. Everybody turned to look at the redhead.
"Now he and I are even, and he doesn't need to know that I did that for him, got it?" Kokoa said sternly.
"Yes. Ok, thank you Kokoa. Thank you for saving his life," Moka said with a warm smile. Everybody smiled at the young vampire, knowing she didn't do that just to even the score with the boy.
"Thank you," Dark said. Everybody looked to him. He smiled softly for an instant at Kokoa, although it quickly vanished. The girl glanced to him timidly then looked downward.
"Well… I'm just helping my friends," she said fighting off a blush. Dark nodded then glanced back to her bows. Kokoa looked up at them again, and then looked around avoiding eye contact.
"What's with the black bows?" Kurumu asked curiously.
"Just... trying a different look," Kokoa said hesitantly.
"I like it," Dark said. The vampire looked at him with a surprised expression, then a warm smile. Then she glanced to Mizore, worried how she would react. The snow girl looked at her for a moment, and then smiled calmly.
"Yeah, not bad," she said softly. Kokoa smiled and nodded.
"Well, I guess we better get changed too," Rason said to Dark. He looked at his silent friend with a sly smile then to Mizore.
"So, have a good night you two?" he asked with a big grin. Dark just looked at him with his usual stare then turned to walk out. He looked to his girlfriend and gave her a soft smile.
"I'll see you soon," he said gently. She smiled and nodded before the demon walked out without another word.
"Well, anyway, I'm going to change into some real clothes. I'll see you outside," Rason said with a wink to his girlfriend. Kurumu nodded and blushed a bit. With that Rason ran off to catch up with the other boys.
"So…" Yukari said eyeing Kurumu and Mizore.
"Did anything happen?" Moka asked curiously. Even Kokoa eyed them with wonder.
"Well…" Kurumu started then looked down embarrassed. All the girls looked at her with wide eyes, except Mizore who kept her usual blank expression.
"Kurumu..." Moka said with a blush.
"Wow, you did didn't you?" Yukari cheered out.
"…no" Kurumu said embarrassed. The girls looked at her puzzled.
"No? I thought you would have gone nuts with him last night. You are a succubus after all," Kokoa said a bit surprised.
"Yeah, I thought you would have given it to him until he begged you to stop," Yukari said plainly.
"Well… I was going to, but…" Kurumu said then fidgeted around.
"But?" Kokoa asked tilting her head.
"I was nervous alright?" Kurumu yelled out. She looked around with a flustered expression then down again.
"It would have been my first time, and he's so charming and perfect… I got nervous!" she said as she shook her head. She remembered how she wanted to, but just couldn't. The time they spent together was so perfect she didn't want to risk ruining anything.
"Still…" she said softly as she looked up. She smiled softly while the other girls watched her curiously.
"He did sleep next to me. He held me all night. I felt so safe in his arms…" she trailed off as she looked up in a dreamy state.
"Well that's ok Kurumu, I didn't do anything with Tsukune either. Even if I didn't drain his blood, I would have been too nervous as well," Moka said shyly.
'Not me, I would have rocked his world…'
Moka blushed at hearing that and looked down. The other girls looked at her curiously, then to Mizore.
"What about you?" Yukari asked.
"Yeah, was Dark everything you hoped for?" Kokoa asked, slightly interested in her story.
"Well…" Mizore said softly and looking down.
"Yeah, did he do all those things he said he would do to you?" Yukari asked jumping up and down.
"Um…" the snow girl said as she looked around embarrassed.
"Mizore? What happened with you two last night?" Moka asked curiously. Mizore glanced around then looked down again.
"Well, I got him back to my room. And…"
Last night in Mizore's room:
Mizore led Dark into her room in the dorms and closed the door behind them. She turned to face her cowboy, her demon, her future husband with adoring eyes.
"Dark, thank you so much for a perfect night," she said as she walked up to him and held him close, burying her face into his chest.
"Anything for you my Mizore," he said softly. Just hearing him say that made her heart skip a few beats. She looked up to him with loving eyes.
"Say, Dark, would you mind staying here with me tonight? I don't want to sleep alone," she asked softly. The boy looked into her eyes for a moment then nodded. She smiled brightly at him and held him closer.
"And… could we…" she started as she tilted her head. She glanced to the bed with hopeful eyes. The boy glanced over, then back to his girl. He smiled softly and kissed her forehead.
"Of course," he said gently. Her eyes widened and her heart started to beat faster.
'Finally, I can show him that I can be a perfect wife.'
She walked over to the bed and sat down as she looked at Dark with anxious eyes. He took off his hat and tossed it towards the door, landing on the handle and staying there. Mizore giggled and clapped, enjoying the private show. Dark walked up to her and gently pulled the lollipop out of her mouth, then tossed it into the trash without looking. She sighed happily as he leaned in and kissed her gently.
'He's so cool… and mine… and…'
She opened her eyes when she felt the kiss end. She stared in front of her as the boy took off his gray cowboy vest and dropped it to the floor.
'He's going to... Dark and I are finally going to…'
He started to take his shirt off. He pulled it up slowly, the snow maiden getting an eyeful of his chest. He was nearly as athletic as Rason was behind his shirt, something not often seen by anybody. He pulled the shirt off over his head then looked down at his girl.
After a pause he blinked and tilted his head. Mizore was lying on the bed unconscious as he looked down at her.
"Huh, starting to notice a pattern here," he said simply.
He put his shirt back on after a moment then laid down next to his girl. He wrapped his arm around her waist and held her close to him while she was out cold from the overload of seeing her demon getting ready to have his way with her. He kissed her lips gently and looked at his sleeping snow girl.
"Sleep well Mizore," he said softly, then laid his head down and closed his eyes. The couple lay in bed together, both sound asleep. The gentleman shadow demon from hell, and the beautiful snow girl he fell in love with.
Back to the present:
"…and I decided to wait also. I didn't want to ruin a perfect day," Mizore said softly as she glanced at Kurumu.
"That's understandable," Kokoa said nodding.
"Yes, no need to rush anything after all," Moka said with a kind smile.
"We'll get them soon enough," Kurumu said with a wink. Mizore just nodded and looked down.
"Well, we better get changed into our normal clothing. The boys will be waiting for us soon I'm sure," Moka said with a bright smile. The other girls all nodded and left towards their rooms. After they left Moka breathed out a sigh of relief.
'He's ok. My Tsukune is ok.'
'He dodged death yet again. Watch what you dream about from now on.'
'At least Kokoa helped save him. And she finally approves of Tsukune.'
'About time that she did. Still, it will be nice for her to finally accept him as our mate.'
The vampire giggled and started getting ready. She was so happy her boyfriend was alive and well, and also happy her little sister finally approved of him.
The group was outside walking towards their training field after having changed into their normal attire. This time however they were just walking around to relax and enjoy the day together. Moka was clinging to Tsukune's arm, so glad that he was alive and well, while Tsukune was looking up into the sky, happy that his life was turning out so well. Next to them Kurumu was walking next to Rason holding his hand. They were both smiling and enjoying the day with each other, the bond between them flowing through their hands like a warm tingle. Behind them Dark was walking with his traditional mp3 player and earbuds, and with a snow girl holding onto his arm. Mizore was smiling happily and rolling the lollipop in her mouth around to the curve of her smile. Next to them Yukari and Kokoa were walking along, both thinking about the dance and what happened that morning.
"Say, Tsukune…" Rason said with a smirk. Everybody stopped and turned to him curiously as they arrived at the training field.
"How about a quick sparring match while we're here?" Rason asked with a shrug.
"What? But I thought you were done training us," Tsukune said a bit surprised.
"We are, but now that you are strong enough to take down a dark lord, maybe you should help me and Dark get stronger, sound fair?" the angel said with a laugh.
"Well…" Tsukune replied as he looked to the open field.
"Go on, it could be fun. Besides…" Kurumu said as she turned to Mizore. She shrugged and pointed to herself.
"You and I still have to improve as well frosty," she said simply. Mizore looked at her for a moment then giggled.
"Sure, why not," she said as she glanced to Dark.
'I will be strong for you, I'll be worthy of being your wife.'
"Count me in too, I can help if you want," Moka said with a smile. Mizore and Kurumu looked at each other, then back to Moka.
"Sure, the more the merrier," Kurumu said with a smile.
"Wouldn't be the same without you," Mizore said with a smirk.
"Hey, what about me?" Kokoa yelled out.
"I can help too!" Yukari cheered out.
Dark looked around at the group then removed his earbuds.
"Well then Tsukune…" he said, getting everybody's attention.
"Are you ready to show them your worth?" he said with a smirk. Tsukune looked at him and smiled confidently. Those were the same words he used in their first big fight together.
"Yeah, this time I am," Tsukune said with a nod.
The group squared off in the field once again, the three boys facing each other in a triangle formation while the five girls faced each other nearby.
Dark began to focus his power, his eyes turning pitch black and the area around him darkening. Rason, who had his shirts removed again, extended his wings out and gathered his strength, the area around him glowing brightly as he did so.
"Ok, this time I'll show you guys how strong I really am," Tsukune declared as he focused his power. His eyes shifted to crimson and his vampire aura grew. He looked to his right then his left with a confident smile. He knew both opponents would be tough, but he had confidence in himself.
He suddenly cringed and held his hand to his neck, feeling a sharp pain ripple through his neck before quickly vanishing. His power seemed to spike suddenly then went back to normal. He blinked once then shook it off.
'Weird, I wonder what that was…'
As the boys faced off and prepared to fight, the girls next to them prepared for battle as well. Moka had her power surging around her, her rosary glowing brightly as her pink hair flowed freely behind her. Mizore had her ice claws extended and her hair frosted over, rolling her lollipop around a bit in her mouth. Kurumu had her wings and nails extended as she eyed her friends, ready to grow stronger to protect her angel. Yukari had her wand out as it glowed brightly, ready to cast out her tarot cards in the blink of an eye. And Kokoa had her trusty oversized hammer as she grinned at the upcoming fight, the girl just happy to be fighting again.
From the tree lines Ruby watched the group start their training again, eyeing each fighter as she had come to know them all well.
The human boy who came to this school by accident; who with his kindness and heart had united a group of monsters together, and made friends with them all.
The shadow demon from hell; who showed them that even a monster made from hatred and fear itself could have a heart of gold and be a loyal friend.
The angel from heaven; whose unwavering loyalty to his friends and love for his girl were in inspiration to the friendship between those of different races and worlds.
The pink haired vampire; who learned to fight and protect those she loves and cares for, to have confidence in herself and believe in her friends no matter what. And even her inner self, as cold and ruthless as she may seem, was shown to have a heart and great love for her mate.
The blue haired succubus; who finally found her Destined One after all this time, the one who saved her from being alone. After all, even a monster deserves an angel.
The purple haired snow girl; who finally found her future husband, marked to be his and only his for all time. She was determined to prove herself worthy of being by his side, both in the field of combat and otherwise.
The redheaded vampire; who had learned to respect the choices made by others, and even respect Tsukune. Her big sister meant the world to her, and if she says he's good enough, then dammit he's good enough.
The young witch from the monster world; who proved herself to be a valuable friend and trustworthy companion when needed the most, even if she still hasn't learned her fantasy just isn't going to happen.
Ruby looked out at the group as they began their training with watchful eyes. She knew they were strong, she knew they were the best friends she could ever have hoped for. And she also knew that this training they were doing would help them grow even stronger still, together.
She just hoped it would be enough.
Earlier that morning at the academy:
Ruby was standing next to the headmaster's desk reading through some documents. She had been called in early that morning by the man himself and wondered what could be the reason for her being there on a Sunday. Most of the staff was off on that day, her included.
She looked through the documents then spoke to the headmaster in a professional tone.
"Sir, is this… accurate?" she asked.
"Yes, I'm afraid it is. I've had my spies in the human world confirm this yesterday," the man said calmly.
"Then… what does this mean… for us?" she replied looking back to the paperwork in her hands.
"It means that Mr. Aono and his friends should continue their training. I trust you and your assistants will keep an eye on them," he said with his usual smile.
"Yes, of course. Are they in danger again?" she said still looking through the paperwork.

Ruby looked through the papers with a sharp eye as Apoch and Astreal walked up behind her.
"Ms. Ruby? What's the matter?" Astreal asked.
"Is there a problem again?" Apoch asked worriedly.
"Yes… I'm afraid there is," Ruby said softly as eyed the final part of the paper.
