"Come on guys! The Ishigami incident was Thursday! If we don't have this out soon then what kind of newspaper are we?!" Gin shouted at us as he sat at the teachers desk, sipping his coffee.

"This would work faster if you helped us." I shot back I finished setting an article.

"I am helping. I'm supervising." Gin replied without a care in the world.

"You mean being lazy." Yukari stated as Gin fell out of the chair.

"JUST GET TO WORK!" He shouted before letting out a sigh.

We continued working when Nekonome entered, carrying a box. "Hello everyone, how's it going?" She asked with a smile.

"Pretty well." I replied as I started working on the next article.

"Well I brought snacks for all of you, so take a break and enjoy." Nekonome said with a smile as she set the box down, where we each grabbed a snack and took a break. "Oh by the way Kurumu, this was left outside the door for you." Nekonome smiled as she handed the succubus an envelope. The girl was all smiles as she opened it and then frowned at the contents before putting them back in envelope and setting it off to the side.

"I'm sorry guys, I forgot that I had to do something really important today!" Kurumu said as she smiled in apology before she ran off.

"Wait Kurumu!" Moka shouted after the girl as she ran off. I frowned at this, knowing that there was something wrong with this picture.

Later

"Damn it, I'm too curious for my own good!" I said as I stood up. Immediately I went over to the envelope and opened it to see the contents with a dark frown on his face. "Blackmail." I growled as the others took a look with shock. "Let's go, Kurumu needs our help!" I said, looking at each of them. "Tsukune, release Moka once we get there. No telling who this person is!" I said, shocking him as they all followed after me.

Later

Reaching the gym, I punched the door in and it exploded with a boom. Walking in, I glared at the slug like monster. "So, you're the one who's blackmailing Kurumu. That will be your last mistake, slug!" I said, removing my tie and tossing it to the side.

He laughed as he slipped slid over to me. I leapt back as I prepared to send him flying away with a punch, when I saw the gas heading for me, where I jumped away just in time to avoid it. "You can't escape me!" Nagare, the slug, laughed as he moved closer. Seeing Moka and the others catch up, Kurumu started screaming, with us seeing her enraged. We watched as she unlocked her true abilities as a succubus, creating a mass illusion that trapped everyone. The Monster Tree came to life, it's roots rising out of the ground and grabbing Nagare, stopping him from escaping.

"I don't care what you do to me, but no one, NO ONE, harms my friends!" Kurumu shouted as she turned into her true form and struck, knocking the boy out and ending the illusion.

"Damn." I said as I whistled in surprise.

"Tsukune!" Kurumu exclaimed as she hugged the boy who smiled at her.

"You ok Kurumu?" He questioned with a smile as he hugged her, letting her get out any tears that she might have.

"Yeah... Thank you... You saved me!" She said, with my brow twitching as he didn't do anything, none of us did.

"You saved yourself." I said in annoyance.

"Just know this, no matter what happens you will always have me." Kurumu said as she broke the hug.

Tsukune instantly blushed at this and once Kurumu was calmed down, he let her go and smiled as she apologized to both Moka and Yukari about her running off like that. "Well enough hanging around, we still have to finish the newspaper!" I said as we went back to the club room to get back to work.
