Well, it is that time of year again, everyone. So Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah, and everything else that everyone has going on this holiday season and remember to never kill a dearly beloved family member while there are witnesses present. You should always wait to open the gift of a beat down and to shove coal up their stockings until the right time.


Just to let everyone know, after this arc is completed, this story will be on hiatus for 4-6 weeks since I plan to be out of the country for part of that time. I know that everyone is disappointed to hear this news, but it cannot be helped. So expect the next arc to start around that time frame and enjoy this final chapter of the arc.


Most of this chapter does not actually advance the story, but the part at the end does and I know that everyone will enjoy it just the same. Get comfortable guys. This is another long chapter.


Chapter 50: The Road to Marriage

Youkai Academy

11 Years Ago

November 25, 2006

"And lastly," Mikogami says into the speakerphone at the podium before a large seated crowd of students and their families. "I wish everyone in this year's graduating class the best of luck as they leave here and move onto the rest of their lives. Class dismissed!"

A rousing cheer erupts among all of the students gathered there now that they've all just graduated from Youkai Academy and they start streaming towards their waiting families.

"Mama, Papa!" Yukari excitedly calls out as she and the others all run towards their families. "I did it! I graduated!"

"Good job, Mizore," a proud Tsurara tells her daughter.

"I'm so proud of you, Kurumu!" an excited Ageha tells her as she hugs her. "And you did it all without sleeping with any of your teachers!"

"…Ehh…? What are you-?" Kurumu tries to ask.

"I'm just so proud of you!" Ageha interrupts her.

Gee mom, nice to know that you have faith in your own daughter, Kurumu sarcastically thinks, annoyed.

"Well, we did it, Moka," Tsukune tells the pink-haired Moka as they stand near the others since neither of them has any family visiting them. [*1]

"Yeah, we did it, Tsukune."

"And thanks to Kyouko mysteriously losing the directions to get here and sabotaging my parent's car just to make sure that they wouldn't be able to come here, I won't have to worry about them showing up and exposing us anymore, hehehe."

They both giggle to each other when Moka begins to fall over but Tsukune catches her in time.

"Are you okay?" he asks her, concerned.

"Y-yeah, I'm fine, Tsukune," she tells him as he helps her back up.

"Are you sure about that? You've been like this for a few weeks now and you only seem to be getting worse. If you need some blood, then all you have to do is ask."

"Thanks, Tsukune. But I'm fine now. Really, I am."

"Moka, I'm concerned about you. You know that I-"

"Tsukune!" an excited Kurumu yells as she jumps onto Tsukune back, breasts first. "We finally graduated! I'm so happy! Now we can get married!"

"Kurumu?" asks Tsukune before he feels a sudden cold around him and Kurumu falls over, frozen solid.

"I thought we all agreed to not talk about that in front of other people, Kurumu," Mizore tells her before hugging Tsukune from behind too and whispers into his ear. "I have some ice-cold cherries for you to devour, Tsukune."

Ch-ch-cherries! Tsukune thinks as the time with Mizore by the Lily White flower patch flashes through his mind.

BANG!

A washtub hits Mizore's head and she falls over before Yukari then clings to him with her face buried in his chest.

"It's me and my precious Moka that have dibs on Tsukune! Mind if I play with your magic wand a little bit, Tsukune?"

"Yukari-chan!" he yells. "We're in public and your parents might be watching us! Do you want to make them sad? And that's not my 'wand' you're grabbing!"

"You really shouldn't go deciding these kinds of things on your own, Yukari," Ruby tells her as she approaches them, dressed in a graduation uniform like everyone else.

"You stay out of this, Ruby!"

Yukari raises her wand to drop a washtub on her too when…

"Ouch! What the hell? Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!"

CAW! CAW! CAW!

…Ruby's crows attack Yukari from behind, pecking at her butt and forcing her to run away.

"Hehehe, I think that'll keep her busy for a little while," Ruby giggles.

"Thanks, Ruby-san," Tsukune thanks her. "But where'd you get that uniform?"

"Do you like it?" she asks as she gleefully spins around for him. "I made it myself. It looks like the real thing, doesn't it?"

"Yeah, it does."

"And you're supposed to drop the honorifics with all of us, remember?"

"Oh, yeah; sorry bout that. I'll work harder to remember that, Ruby."

"It makes me so happy to hear you say that, Tsukune," she tells him as she presses her body against his chest, looking deeply into his eyes as their faces come closer to each other.

Ruby then feels a tapping on her shoulder and turns around to see Moka standing there.

"Umm… I'm still here, Ruby-san. So, can you please get off of Tsukune?"

"Or better yet," Ruby says as she grabs and pulls Moka next to her and onto Tsukune's chest with her. "Why don't you join us?"

"Ruby, there are people watching us!" Tsukune points out.

"Y-y-yeah, Ruby-san!" a very embarrassed Moka agrees. "So please let us go!"

"Hey! You're not doing anything without me!" Yukari shouts as she tackles and knocks everyone over.

On the way down though…

CHINK!

…Tsukune accidentally pulls Moka's rosary off, releasing Ura from inside it.

"…And just what do you girls think you're doing?" a pissed Moka asks with a clenched fist after seeing that she's on top of Tsukune with a pair of energetic Witches lying on top of her.

"U-U-U-URA MOKA!" both Witches scream.

"You two should really… know your places!"

SMACK! SMACK!

Tsukune looks up and sees Moka standing over him with her back to him.

"So, I take it that we've graduated, then?" she asks him.

"Y-yeah, we just did," he answers her as he stands back up and notices the two unconscious Witches a few feet away. "Were you sleeping?"

"I was, yes, until you woke me up just now. So…"

She turns around and looks him in the eye.

"Well… as long as I'm awakened, I might as well enjoy myself for a little while. Care to escort me, Tsukune?"

Moka extends her hand to him when…

"Onee-samaaaaa!"

…Moka feels a pair of arms wrap around her from behind with a vice-like grip.

"Hello… Kokoa…" Moka says in a slightly irritated tone.

"Don't be so cold to me, Nee-sama! Now that you're awake, we can spend the day together!"

"First…" Moka states right before she…

SMACK!

CRASH!

…Elbows and sends Kokoa crashing into the ground, face first.

"Quit hanging onto me like a bloodthirsty tick."

FWUAH!

Kokoa takes a deep breath after she pulls her face out of the ground.

"Oh yes, Nee-sama!" she enthusiastically says with a sparkle in her eyes. "Please hit me like that some more!"

She then jumps back up onto her feet Moka sighs as she holds Kokoa back by her head.

"Listen, we already have one masochist in the group and we don't need another. If you want to come with us, then you have to behave. Understood?"

"What…? Why…? Why the hell do I always have to share you with that lowly human and the others, Nee-sama?" she screams at her.

"Take it or leave it," she tells her in a clear and commanding tone before turning towards her escort. "Come, Tsukune, I don't have much time and do not wish to waste it."

"W-what about the others?" he asks, concerned.

"They can catch up later. Until then…" she tells him as they interlock their arms and whispers into his ear. "…You're all mine…"

As the two of them walk away together…

"…Nee-sama… …"

…A very depressed Kokoa watches her beloved sister walks away with that damn lowly human again! Frustrated, she pounds the ground as her tears fall upon it.

"Why…? Why…? Why do you always choose him over me, your own sister? It's not fair. It's just not fair! I'm the one that's always loved you, not him! So why him and not me…? Why…?"

She then feels a comforting hand on her shoulder.

"Little girls like you shouldn't cry. But if you do, you can always use my shoulder to cry on."

Recognizing the man's voice, Kokoa still turns around to see Haiji of all people.

"I'm not in the mood, lolicon," she tells him, both sad from what just happened and annoyed at him. "What are you even doing here? I thought you graduated last year."

"I heard my beloved loli cry and flew to your side as swiftly as I could," he magnificently says and smiles with a glint in his teeth while giving her the thumbs up sign, all in an effort to look and sound cool.

"You just took advantage of so many other people being here to sneak back into Youkai Academy and watched me until I was all alone, didn't you?"

"Why Kokoa…" he says with a sparkling face. "Do I look like the kind of-?"

"Yes," she plainly interrupts, correctly figuring out the truth.

"Oh come on, Kokoa! I'm trying to look good for you!"

"You're just trying to look good to get me."

Now that Kokoa has seen right through him, twice, Haiji tries to think of some way to salvage the situation when he feels a hand on his own shoulder.

"Miyamoto Haiji, fancy seeing you here…"

He turns around and sees Mikogami standing right behind him!

"H-H-Headmaster…!"

"I could've sworn that you graduated from my academy a year ago. Or did I travel back in time?"

"I-if I said yes, would you let me go?"

"If you said yes, then I would still be able to discipline you for lying to me."

"And if I said no…?"

"Then I suggest that you disappear really fast before I consider you threat to my students."

Mikogami lets go of him and Haiji starts running for his life.

"Heh heh, some people will never change," Mikogami says out loud.

"I could've handled him by myself," Kokoa confidently tells him.

"No doubt," he replies and turns around and is about to leave when he stops for a moment. "You know, if you actually tried to understand your sister and her feelings for a change, you might become closer than ever to each other."

"So what are you saying? That I should fall for a weak and pathetic human? Are you kidding me?"

"Who's kidding who?" he asks her. "You can say whatever you want, Kokoa, but we both know that after everything that has happened, you actually like Tsukune now. Your only issue with him at this point is your jealousy over the close relationship that he has developed with your sister and that is the only thing keeping you from finding happiness."

"Th-th-that's not true!" she angrily yells at him. "I don't like him! Why would I? Did you honestly think that a proud Vampire like me would really fall for some stupid looking human and join his little harem? Hell no! He's so far beneath me that he might as well be a bug!"

Kokoa then begins to stare down at the ground and her tone becomes depressed as she continues.

"So there's no way I could ever like someone like him."

"Now who are you trying to convince; me, or you?"

Mikogami starts to walk away when Kokoa shouts at him again.

"I'm not trying to convince anyone! I'm just telling the truth!"

"…Just remember, Kokoa, like most things in life, this situation has an easy way and a hard way of happening. The choice… is ultimately up to you."

After he leaves, Kokoa is left with only her thoughts. While her pride would never allow her to admit it, not even to herself, much less to someone else, she had developed some feelings for Tsukune and she was very jealous of the relationship that he has developed with her sister. Confused, she decides that she needs some time sort through everything, so she walks away to do some thinking on her own.

Elsewhere, Tsukune and Ura Moka are still walking together with their arms locked though the school's main building, looking at everything one last time before they have to leave it all behind.

"Have you given any more thought to what we talked about before, Tsukune?"

"I have, but…"

"…But what?"

"But there's still something weighing on my mind about that."

"Like what?

"It's… it's still kinda difficult for me to completely accept and actually do both of those things."

"Does it have to do with the human's society's norms again?"

"Well, partly, I suppose."

Moka sighs, stops, and looks him in the eye.

"Tsukune, you know that I and everyone else care about you, right?"

"Yeah, of course I do."

Moka then…

SMACK!

…Hits the back of his head to knock some sense into him.

"Then get over it already. Human society also dictates that you're supposed to only love other humans, am I right?"

"Well, unless you have a thing for goats and such."

"I'm being serious, Tsukune."

"And seriously most humans know nothing about ayashi so the only other non-human options would be regular animals which I am definitely not into."

"But if they did know about us, all of us, do you really think that we'd be readily accepted by everyone? Especially Vampires like me that have to feed on them to survive?"

"…Well… I…"

Looking deep into her eyes, he can see that she's being completely honest and sincere with him and he sighs and closes his eyes.

"No, I suppose not," he sighs.

She grabs his collar with both hands to emphasize her next words.

"Then forget about what others say and ask yourself what you want out of life, how can you get it, and then do it!"

As Moka's words sink in, he is about to say something when she grabs the rosary out of his hands.

"And you can start with the outer me," she tells him as she puts the rosary back on herself.

A few seconds later…

"…U-umm… h-hey, Tsukune…" (Omote) Moka says, very embarrassed. "I-I heard everything that you two were talking about and… umm… … … …"

"…Moka… I… …"

"Y-yes, Tsukune…?"

Decided to just go for it, Tsukune takes a deep breath to calm his nerves, takes Moka into his arms, and looks deeply into her eyes.

"…Moka, I love you. I've loved from first sight."

"I love you too, Tsukune," she replies with a happy tear in her eye and puts her hands on his cheeks. "I've loved you from first bite."

Tsukune's face drops at her reply and she pulls his cheeks out and sticks her tongue out at him.

"Just kidding, tee hee!" she cheerfully says.

They both laugh with each other and look into each other's eyes.

"Oh Moka…"

"Oh Tsukune…"

"There's something more that I want to talk to you about," he tells her.

"Yes…?"

Before Tsukune could say another word though, Moka suddenly goes limp and collapses.

"Moka!" he yells.

He catches her, but sees that she's unconscious and breathing hard. Now greatly alarmed, Tsukune picks her up and carries her to the nurse's office as fast as he can.

A short time later in the nurse's office, Tsukune is sitting in a chair next to the sleeping Moka's bed when the door flies open and Yukari rushes in.

"I heard from a student that saw it happen! Is it true? Did she-?" Yukari frantically asks before stopping mid-sentence as she sees Moka lying on the bed.

"Yukari, shhh!" he tells her with his finger pressed to his lips. "She's sleeping."

"What happened?"

"She collapsed."

"Is it her anemia again? Has she been drinking enough of your blood, desu?"

"Yes, she has," he says in a slightly annoyed tone at being compared to a normal beverage like it was nothing.

"Then what's going on with her, desu?"

"I… I wish I knew… She's been having occasional feinting spells for the past few weeks. But this is the first time that she's lost consciousness like this."

"WHAT!" a very surprised and angry Yukari shouts. "You mean she's been like that for weeks now and you never told me!"

"She asked me not to tell anyone about it. She… she didn't want to worry anyone."

"And you went along with that?"

"Please keep your voice down, Yukari," he tells her before looking at her again. "I guess I was just hoping that it'd pass and that would be the end of it. But instead… it's only gotten worse. Honestly… I…"

Tsukune looks down and his eyes start tearing up.

"…I don't know what I should do now…"

Realizing that her earlier words were out of line, Yukari hugs Tsukune in an effort to comfort both of them and he puts his arm around her to return her feelings.

"She was always so gentle, loving, and full of life."

"Yeah, she was always so kind, compassionate, and-"

"I'm not dead," an extremely annoyed (Omote) Moka says, sitting up in bed with popped blood veins on her forehead and a twitching eye.

"MOKA!" they both shout before jumping on her.

"We were so worried about you, Moka!"

"Desuuu!"

"But I might be now," Moka says with a strained voice with Tsukune on top of her and Yukari on top of him.

"Did I come at a bad time?"

They all look towards the doorway and see Mikogami standing in it.

"I can come back later if you want. I wouldn't want to spoil the good mood you three have going on."

The three of them realize the position that they're in and their faces all turn red.

"S-s-sorry, Moka!" a nervous Tsukune says as he jumps back and off of her only to…

AHHH!

CRASH!

OUCH!

…Fall backwards onto the floor since to his body was off-balance thanks to Yukari hanging onto his back, causing both of them to crash.

"That hurt, Tsukune," Yukari says as she rubs the back of her head where she had hit it.

"Sorry, Yukari," he apologizes as he rubs his own bumped head. "I'll make it up to you later."

"Are you two okay?" Moka asks them, concerned.

"We'll be okay, Moka."

"Desu..."

"No need to worry about them, Moka," Mikogami tells her as he walks inside the room. "The nurse's office is the best place for someone to get injured in."

Everyone just looks at Mikogami with blank stares.

"Looks like your jokes are as dry as ever, Mikogami."

"Fuhai-sama?" the three of them shouts together in surprise.

"Fuhai, I was wondering when you would get here," Mikogami casually says.

"Is everything ready for it?" Fuhai asks.

"Yes, thanks to my two helpers that will meet us there."

"…Umm… excuse me," Tsukune begins to say. "But, what are you two talking about and what's Fuhai-sama doing here?"

"You mean Mikogami hasn't said anything to any of you yet?"

"I was about to before you interrupted me," Mikogami says in an annoyed voice. "Moka, you need to come with me."

"What are you talking about?" she asks, confused. "What's going on?"

"You've been having feinting spells for the past few weeks but the nurses can't ever find anything physically wrong with you, right?" Fuhai asks.

"Well… that's true… but what's that-?"

"Moka," Mikogami interrupts her. "Do you remember how I asked you to my office to check your rosary a few weeks ago and told you to not tell anybody about it?"

"Yes, you said that it was working just fine."

"I'm sorry, Moka. But I didn't tell you the whole truth. I didn't want to worry you unnecessarily so I told you that."

"Then… then you know what's wrong with me and it has something to do with my rosary, doesn't it?"

"Yes, unfortunately, it does."

"But fortunately, we also have a permanent fix for you," Fuhai says as he walks to Moka and examines the rosary.

A minute later, Fuhai finishes his examination and stands up.

"Looks like you were right, Mikogami, about both the problem and the time frame we have to work with."

"What are you-?" Moka begins to ask.

"What are you guys talking about?" Tsukune yells. "What's going on here? What's wrong with her? What's this fix you're talking about?"

"Your questions will have to wait, young Tsukune," Fuhai tells him. "Mikogami, let's get her to that room and take care of it now since everything is ready."

"Come, everyone," Mikogami says. "We have a ceremony to perform."

After everyone leaves the room, a ceiling panel moves aside and a purple head comes down through the hole.

"This is new," Mizore casually says with a candy in her mouth while hanging upside down. "I better tell the others."

Kokoa approaches her dorm room from her long walk after the fight she had with her sister and as she walks in the door, she becomes aware of someone coming in with her.

"There you are, my precious loli," Haiji tells her. "I've been looking for you."

"I'm not in the mood to deal with you now either, Haiji. So go away."

"Awww, don't say that," he tells her as he follows her inside. "You know how much I like you."

Kokoa rolls her eyes at his comment, but it gives her a thought.

The headmaster's wrong! I don't have feelings for Tsukune and I'll prove it!

"Haiji, would you like to go on a date with me?"

Haiji is visibly stunned at her words and becomes speechless with his jaw hanging wide open. He then smiles broadly, from ear to ear and gives her a thumbs up.

"It would be a pleasure, my precious loli."

Hearing his words, another thought hits her as they reach her room and she asks him about it.

"Hey, Haiji; you like me, right?"

They enter her room together.

"Of course I do."

"Why?"

"Huh?"

"Why do you like me?"

"Because you're strong and confident!" he confidently answers her. "And because you're my favorite loli dream girl of course!"

"… …In other words… you like me just because I'm a loli?"

"That's the main reason, yes," he proudly tells her. "I've never once lied to you about that."

Kokoa's body starts shaking and when Haiji touches her shoulder she grabs him by the collar and…

"What are you-?"

GWAUH!

…Punches him hard in the stomach, knocking the wind out of him. She then gives him a savage beating to vent all of her pent-up anger. As he lay bleeding on the floor, she stands over him with a very sweaty body.

"You…" she angrily growls at him. "You honestly thought that I would be okay with that? I want to be loved for WHO I am, not WHAT I am!"

She then grabs something out of one of her drawers.

"I was saving this for that idiot Tsukune, just in case, but I think I'll test some of it out on you first."

She then ties him up tight, rolls him up in a sheet, carries him to an abandoned school building, and throws him down into the building's basement.

"Have fun and rot, you damn lolicon."

On her way back to her room, she runs into Kurumu and the others who tell her that something's going on with Tsukune and Moka and rushes with them to find out what. On their way there, Kokoa thinks to herself.

I was a fool! The only one I need to love me is my Onee-sama and no one else!

In the main school building, Tsukune, Moka, Yukari, Mikogami, and Fuhai enter a large room and Yukari recognizes it instantly.

"Hey, isn't this the same room where we had that final battle with Kaneshiro Hokuto a couple years ago?"

"Yes, it is," Mikogami answers her.

"Umm… what's the big table in the middle of the room for?" Moka asks after seeing the large, rectangular object.

That's not a table," Mikogami answers her. "It's an altar. Now, I need you to lie on top of it."

"An altar?" a surprised Yukari yells. "You're not planning on sacrificing my Moka and then us, are you?"

The room goes silent as everyone stops and stares at Yukari.

"What?"

"Yukari dear, you should know that we'd never do anything to harm you or one of your friends," another voice says as two other figures enter the room from behind them.

"Mama and papa…? What are you doing here? Don't tell me that you're involved in this too!"

"Well of course we are," Fujiko answers her. "The headmaster asked for our help so we're here."

"Then what in the world is there an altar in the middle of the room?"

"Well it's not for sacrificing virgins, Yukari. I can assure you of that. Why in the world would you ever think something like that?"

"Th-th-then why does papa have what looks like a dead body wrapped in a sheet draped over his shoulder?" she screeches.

"Oh, dear, put that on the altar please."

"Alright, dear," he responds.

EEEEEK!

Both of the girls scream and grab each other as he passes them and lays the body out on the altar.

"W-why do you have a dead body, papa?"

"The body's not dead, you silly girl," Tamanori chuckles. "It's just not really alive."

"What are you talking about, papa? That's what dead means!"

"Not in every case, Yukari dear," Fujiko tells her. "I told you all about bodies that were neither dead nor really alive years ago."

Hearing her mother's words, Yukari instantly remembers what she's talking about.

"You mean… that thing on the table… is a…?"

"You see," Mikogami begins to explain. "The rosary that has been serving as Moka's body up to now, is failing."

"Wh-what do you mean?" Tsukune demands to know.

"You see," Fuhai begins to answer him. "The rosary has already far exceeded what it was designed for. It wasn't meant to last this long, only until Moka could gain control of her shinso power, and that's on top of all the damage that it's suffered. The main issue though, is you, Omote Moka."

"…What…? What do you mean?" she asks in disbelief.

"In simple terms, your soul has grown so much over the years, especially in the last few, that it's exceeded the bounds of the rosary, your true body. Think of it as a computer program that's exceeded the memory on the hard drive. That's why you've been having those feinting spells. You've been in a sense, crashing. It wasn't even designed to contain an entire soul in the first place, but it's held up for an amazingly long time despite that. Now though, it can't go on for much longer."

"At this rate, Moka," Mikogami adds. "Your blackouts will steadily get worse and in few weeks' time, you'll blackout for the last time, the seal itself will break, and that will be the end of you."

The vast enormity of the two Dark Lord's words sink into the three of them who're stunned by what they had just heard.

"Then… then what can I do?" she asks them.

"There's nothing that you can do," Fuhai answers.

"Nothing?" a furious Tsukune yells. "What do you mean nothing? There has to be something that you can do!"

"Desu!" a tearful Yukari agrees.

"Don't misunderstand me," Fuhai calmly tells them "I said that there's nothing that she can do. The rest of us on the other hand, have already arranged for the solution."

"Is it what I think it is, mama?" Yukari asks her.

"Yes it is, Yukari," she answers her. "Now, Moka dear, we need you to lie down on the altar so we can start the ceremony."

"What's-?" Moka tries to ask before Tamanori pulls the sheet off of the body he put on the altar, stunning the three of them speechless as they recognize, "it."

"That's…" Tsukune tries to say.

"That's… not possible…" Moka says.

With both Moka and Tsukune stunned by what they were seeing, Yukari clears her throat and tells them what it is.

"That's a Homunculus," she tells them. "It's an artificial body, just like a clone." [*2]

"Are you serious?" Tsukune asks, still having a hard time believing it.

"So is that why… it looks… exactly like me?" Moka asks.

"Exactly," Mikogami answers her. "We're going to transfer your soul into this body which will save your life. That is what everything and everybody is here for. So this is going to be your very own body."

"Headmaster…" Tsukune begins to say and bows deeply from his hips. "I… I don't know what to say. Thank you very much."

"No need to thank me, Tsukune. Think of it as a reward for all the services that all of you have performed over the last three years. Now, let's begin the ceremony."

Moka slowly walks towards and sits on the altar next to the other body, uneasy about everything.

"Fuhai, can you erect and maintain your barrier in case we get some uninvited guests, please?"

"Not a problem, Mikogami. My barriers are the best you're going to find anywhere."

"Good, because once I start, I cannot be interrupted. It would jeopardize her life," Mikogami announces. "Moka, I'm going to put you to sleep so that you won't have to feel any pain. Now, lay back and we'll get started."

"A-alright…" Moka says, still feeling uneasy.

"…M-Moka!" a nervous Tsukune determinedly shouts, catching her attention. "D-don't worry about anything! I'll stay right here for you the whole time! So, don't worry about a thing!"

As Moka looks at him after hearing the determination and confidence in his words, all of the doubt and worry in her heart vanishes.

"Of course, Tsukune," she tells him with a warm smile on her face. "When I wake up, we'll be back together again like always."

After she lies down, Mikogami puts her to sleep and starts chanting at the head of the altar. A seal glows on the floor with the altar at the center and both bodies begin to levitate. Fuhai then locks the door and erects a barrier around the room so that they won't be disturbed and stands-by in case something goes wrong and Mikogami needs his help.

A few minutes later though, there's a pounding on the door.

"Hey! What in haven's name going on in there?" an angry voice from outside yells.

Tsukune instantly recognizes the voice.

"Ruby…? What's she doing here?"

They hear more pounding on the door.

"Let us in or I'll freeze you solid!"

"Mizore…?"

SMASH!

"Where's my Onee-sama?"

"K-Kokoa too…?"

"Don't worry about a thing," Fuhai declares. "Not even Kokoa can break through this barrier."

"Tsukune!" yells Kurumu as she steps right through Fuhai's barrier.

"Oh crap! It's Kurumu!" Fuhai shouts, both angry and embarrassed. "Don't just walk through it! You damn slippery Succubus!"

"Kurumu, you dirty cheater!" Kokoa furiously screams. "Break the barrier so we can all get in there! Don't just slip through it by yourself!"

Kurumu sees Moka lying on the altar with Mikogami chanting something near her and a seemingly dead body next to her.

"What's going on here? What're you doing to Moka?"

"Tsukune!" a worried Fuhai shouts. "Stop her! She can't interrupt the ceremony!"

Kurumu marches towards Mikogami to demand some answers when…

AAAHN!

…Tsukune grabs her breasts from behind.

"Tsu-Tsukune…? Th-this isn't the time for…"

AAAAAHHH!

They both fall to the ground as Tsukune's finds her two weak points.

"Kurumu," Tsukune begins to explain in a rush. "I know that it looks suspicious, but you need to trust me right now! We can't disturb the headmaster until he's finished the ceremony!"

"But, what's happening to Moka?"

"Please, trust me!"

"… …Tsukune… … …"

AHHN!

Kurumu is still concerned about what's happening to Moka, but after hearing Tsukune's plea and the look in his eyes telling her that she shouldn't worry, then and only then, does Kurumu relax her body.

Mikogami's chanting reaches its' peak and Moka's rosary clatters violently as a blinding light emanates from her body, forcing everyone to shield their eyes from the bright light. After it dies down, everyone looks towards the alter and sees Mikogami still standing next to it, but no longer chanting.

"Moka!" a worried Tsukune yells and then runs to her side.

He holds her hand and watches in amazement as her hair slowly turns silver.

"Fuhai…" Mikogami says in an irritated tone. "What happened to the best barriers I was going to find anywhere?"

"Apparently, I don't know any determined Succubi-proof barriers," he plainly states. "I don't suppose you do?"

"… …What's…?" Kurumu begins to say in disbelief at seeing not one but two Mokas lying on the altar. "What's going on here…?"

"Come on Moka, wake up!" he yells to the silver-haired Moka before remembering that there are two of them and yells to the other. "Wake up… err… Moka…!"

Come to think of it, since there're two of them now, this is going to be a little confusing, he thinks.

"Tsukune…" a very erotic and heavily breathing voice says.

Tsukune feels a pair of arms wrapping around his chest from behind him and someone nibbles on his right ear.

"I'm really in the mood now…"

"Kurumu!" he shouts.

"You can't just leave me hanging like that, Tsukune. Here…"

She turns him around, grabs his hands, and thrusts them up her shirt and under her bra.

"K-K-Kurumu…!"

"…Pinch and pull them as hard as you can, Tsukune. I've been a bad, bad girl," she tells him as she kisses and falls forward as he falls back with her landing on top of him, her massive breasts act like airbags for her and cushioning her fall.

Across the room, Fuhai watches them intently and thinks to himself.

I guess I know what I'm going to be using for inspiration tonight, hehe.

Afterwards, both Mokas met each other face-to-face for the first time and Fuhai took the barrier down to let everyone inside where they had to pry the now extremely turned-on Kurumu off of Tsukune and Mikogami explains everything to them. To make things easier for everyone else, the pink-haired Moka decides that since the other was the original Moka, that she should keep her name and that her own name would be only other name she has been called before, Omote. Yukari suggested a number of other names for her, but Omote just wanted to be Omote, in remembrance of her origins. Moka meanwhile…

"Onee-samaaaaa!"

…Has a now extremely clingy girl all over her, rubbing her face all over her chest.

"Now we can be together forever, Onee-sama!"

"If you think that I'm going to put up with this, 24-hours a day…"

Moka grabs and pulls her sister off of her.

"…You have another thing coming, Kokoa!"

GUH!

CRASH!

Moka kicks Kokoa through the wall.

"Know your place."

"But there's still something that bothers me," Yukari says. "It usually takes more than a few weeks to grow a full-grown body. So when was it started?"

"A few months ago," Fujiko answers her. "Mikogami asked me to do help him with that after inner Moka had insisted on it to him after that last incident that you created, Yukari dear."

"You mean when the potion I created caused Moka to-?"

Yukari suddenly feels a strong grip grab her head and begins crushing it.

"If you want to see your next birthday, then you better forget all about what you were just thinking," Moka angrily growls at her with a murderous aura surrounding her.

"…F-forget what…?" she answers in fear for her life.

"Good girl."

With everyone else otherwise occupied, Tsukune asks Tamamori to step outside with him for a private conversation. As they walk around through the forest with the crows cawing overhead, Tsukune clears his throat before he speaks.

"There's something that I need to talk to you about."

"About what, Tsukune? You seem troubled."

"I am. It's… it's about Yukari and the others," Tsukune says and takes a deep breath before continuing. "You know how I all feel about all of them, right?"

"I think it's no secret to anybody that you care about everyone and they all care about you."

"Yeah, we all do. The thing is, now that we've all graduated, we're all need to decide what we're going to do for the rest of our lives and who we want to be with, so…"

Tsukune pauses, having trouble continuing.

"You see, over the past year, I've had a lot of time to think things over and… I've found that I can't really imagine my future without everyone. Moka, Kurumu, Mizore, Ruby, and Omote now since that's what she decided on being called. But, I also want Yukari in my future. And if I take Fong-Fong's job offer, I'll be able to support myself and everyone else without any worries."

"…So you're asking me for my daughter's hand in marriage?"

"…In a way…" he tries to continue.

"But at the same time you're obviously conflicted over something. What is it? Does it have to do with the whole polygamy issue?"

"That's half of it, yes. The other half has to do with her age. The others are all around my age or a little older, but Yukari's still 14. So, I'm not entirely sure what I should do and wanted to ask you about it."

Tamamori thinks about it for a few steps before answering him.

"Tsukune… let me tell you a story. Years ago, during the Witch hunts and burnings, we had to start marrying and having kids at younger ages just so that we could survive as a species. So she wouldn't be the youngest Witch that ever got married."

"But are you really okay with that and me marrying not just her but the other girls too?"

Tamamori stops, faces him, places his hands on Tsukune's shoulders, and looks him in the eye.

"Tsukune, I want what's best for my daughter and I want her to be happy. So you should stop worrying so much and just follow your heart."

Tsukune's stunned at Tamamori's words and thinks deeply on what he told him. A minute later, Tsukune raises his head, full of confidence.

"Thank you, Tamamori-san. Now I don't have any doubt about anything anymore."

"Glad to hear it, Tsukune."

"But won't the two of you miss her?"

"Of course we will. But we'll be happy knowing that she's with you and the others. Besides, I think that we all know that while she might be 14 in body, but she's a lot older than that in mind."

"What do you mean?"

Tamamori suddenly has an uncomfortable look on his face and turns away from him.

"The last time Yukari came home, it seems hat she forgot how thin the walls were and moaned both yours' and Moka's names all night every night. So, please marry her with the others and as soon as you can so we won't have any more sleepless nights like that!"

Oh Yukari… Tsukune thinks with a very uncomfortable look on his face.

The Aono Home in the Yuki'Onna Village

March 14, 2017

As all of the Aono women walk towards the family bath, Kokoa and Ling-Ling exchange some more heated words and Kyouko asks Kokoa about it.

"Yeah, I'd like to know about that too," Moka agrees. "I've been wondering about that myself for a long time now."

With Kokoa being drunk and angry enough to say it, she answers them.

"Because I caught that dead bitch making a pass at Tsukune just before she was supposed to fly us to our honeymoon!"

Everyone then turns and glares at Ling-Ling who puts her fingers to her mouth and…

"Oh my, I just remembered something I really need to do; goodbye everyone."

…Quickly walks away.

You're so dead the next time I see you, you dead fucking bitch.

Castle Toboso, somewhere in Japan

"Yuu-sama, your guest is here," the young woman wearing a maid uniform announces as she enters Yuu Toboso's private chambers.

"Thank you, show her in," the dark blue kimono clad Yuu Toboso instructs her.

The woman bows her head to her mistress and shows her guest in. Then, a woman in a black cloak with red trimming, front, and strands of long golden hair waving back and forth on her ample chest that sways as she moves about, walks through the doorway.

"Good evening, madam," she politely greets her host. "I believe that you wish to engage my services, wee?"

"I do."

"Then how might I be of assistance to you, madam?" she asks with a slight bow.

"I understand that you recently had contact with the Aono family, correct?"

"Wee, I did."

"Then I would like you to take me there and bring me back afterwards. Can you manage that?"

"Wee, madam. I can take you there, providing that you have my fee, of course."

Yuu hands her a small, gold colored box and she opens it to find ten small flawless diamonds inside.

"When would you like to leave?"

"Right away," she answers.

"As you wish, madam," she tells her. "It will take a little time for me to cast my spell because of the barrier surrounding them, so I'll start right away."

Now, Yuu thinks. I'll settle my business with the Dark King and rebuild my clan.

The Aono Home in the Yuki'Onna Village

After Kurumu had defrosted Tsukune's "little Tsukune" and had her turn with him, she left to go to bed and he stayed behind to soak in some hot water to warm himself up after being partially frozen. After he was done, he gets out and opens the bathhouse door to find a drunk and naked Moka standing on the other side.

"…Tsukune… how come you're fucking everyone tonight except for me, hic…? Is there a problem with me now…?"

"Ahh… that's not true, Moka. You know that I love you."

She grabs "him" tightly.

"Then prove it."

"I will I will, just give me a few minutes to regain my strength."

"No, now!" she yells, throws the sliding door to the outside open, and throws him out into the snow.

After landing in the snow, Tsukune looks up and sees her naked body now standing over him, glimmering in the moonlight shining down from above and being reflected up at her by the snow. Seeing that unbelievably beautiful scene before him, he instantly regains his "strength" and Moka smiles as she sees it.

"That's it, Tsukune; time to know your place." [*3]

A Short Distance Away

Two figures step out of a wavy portal and it closes behind them.

"Where is it?"

"Follow me, madam."

They walk up a small hill and one of the figures points to the house not far away.

"That's their house. You'll find them inside."

"Thank you, Marie."

"My pleasure, madam," she replies as Yuu walks towards the Aono home.


12

After being frozen, twice, by as many wives, Tsukune and Moka are back in his room for another round. After which, she goes into the bathroom to take a quick bath. Leaving Tsukune still blindfolded and handcuffed to the bed in her special anti-Vampire handcuffs and his first seal released. Shortly afterwards, he hears someone quietly enter his room and walk to his bed. [*4]

Must be one of the other girls, Tsukune thinks. They're really going to kill me one of these days.

The woman then mounts and rides him for all he's worth for several minutes. Near the end though, he notices something… odd.

What's this smell? Blood…? But whose blood is that? I don't recognize this scent. What in the world…?

As he climaxes, she takes the blindfold off and he sees a tall, slender woman with long dark hair, dark eyes, and not someone that he's ever seen before!

"A life for a life," she tells him.

Before he could say anything back though, the bathroom door opens and Moka steps out to find a strange woman sitting on top of her husband!

"YOU BITCH!" she furiously yells and kicks at her only to watch it pass right through her as she vanishes into thin air.

Not sensing the strange woman's presence at all, the extremely alarmed Moka wakes the other moms up and everyone searches everywhere for the intruder, but find nothing.


13

On the other side of the hill a short distance from the front yard, Yuu rejoins Marie.

"Everything go well, madam?"

"Yes, it actually went better than I could've hoped. Now, we can return."

"As you wish, madam," she replies and reopens her portal.

Yuu Toboso looks back towards the house and smiles as she thinks to herself.

Thanks for helping me rebuild my clan, Dark King.

They both then pass through the portal and it closes behind them, leaving only their footprints in the snow behind.

The Ruins of the Aono Home, Hong Kong

March 18, 2017

Around noontime, two men, one with blonde hair and the other brown and European features and clothes look at the piles of debris left behind at once was the Aono home and the blonde man giggles.

"It must've been quite a battle, hahaha! I hope lots and lots of those shitty monsters killed each other before it ended, hehehe!"

"Quit laughing like that, Ueli. It's creepy."

"Oh admit it; you enjoy it when those shitty monsters die just like I do."

"Just shut up and do your job. The IT guys already did theirs by scrubbing the net of all that footage and destroyed the rest of the digital data with viruses and now we need to do ours. So shut up, quit that creepy laugh of yours, and let's get out of here. Our connecting flight to Japan leaves in a couple hours. You haven't forgotten our mission, have you?"

"How could I forget? We are to locate the Aono's, report back to the Saint's Cross High Council as soon as we do, and then wait for instructions," he says in a mocking voice.

"Then make sure that you actually control your bloodlust, this time. We are not supposed to engage them or anyone else unless we're attacked first. Now get in the car."

"What if instead of engaging them we marry them instead?"

"Car, now!" he angrily yells at him, not in a mood for his bad jokes.

As they walk back to their rental car, a young woman with short red hair, green eyes, freckles on her face, and a long sword slung across her back watches them from a nearby treetop with great interest.

"This is perfect," she quietly tells herself. "If these two can lead me to the Dark King, then I'll be able to carry out the mission that my queen has given me. I can't wait to meet them all."

As they drive off, the young woman spreads her wings, stretches out her tail, and seemingly vanishes as she takes off to follow them.

To be continued…


Refuge in the Yuki'Onna Village Arc, end.

Next chapter, the A New Home and New Enemies Arc, begins.


Note #1: This is before Omote gets her own body.


Note #2: Homunculus – It is an artificial human body created through a mixture of alchemy and magic and is normally grown to be a copy of someone else from the beginning (like a clone). It can also be grown as a complete blank with no specific features until the DNA of the subject is implanted later.


Note #3: This is the exchange I had with my beta after he first read this scene. I decided to add it into the chapter for its' comedic value.

Him: Tsukune recovers fast, but he has good incentive so it's cool. I'd be 'strong' too seeing Moka like that.

Me: I told you I would add your "flag-raising" scene in this arc, lol.

Him: Yes, well... I pledge allegiance...

Me: ...To the flag, of the raging boner in my pants. And to the naked, sexy women standing over me for whom it stands; one hard-on, under Moka, indivisible (thankfully), with moans and cum shots for all.

Additional Note: My apologies to the original author of our pledge of allegiance, but I just could not help myself in this matter, lol!


Note #4: Moka's anti-Vampire handcuffs have built-in crosses that seal a Vampire's powers. They were made so that Tsukune couldn't use his Vampire power to destroy his own bed during their rough intercourse.
