CH 2
Karasuba saw the blond, soft looking and innocent acting Kahlua. 'No contest' she thought with a wry grin as she stepped onto the practice court. Moka and her father were going to watch. Karasuba figured she would go easy on the dumb woman with the silver Tiara and frilly white gown. She walked to the middle and stood waiting while Kahlua sat her one-eyed stuffed rabbit in a chair.
"Stay here and watch, Mr. Bunny," Kahlua said to the toy. Skipping out to face Karasuba, she beamed Issa a smile. "Ready Daddy!"
"This will be short," Karasuba said under her breath.
"BEGIN!"
The instant Issa bellowed the word, Kahlua was in front of Karasuba. Not expecting the dumb woman to be so fast, Karasuba was kicked in the side hard. She flew at the wall in shock, barely able to recover enough to lessen the impact with the wall. No sooner had Karasuba gotten her senses back as well as her feet under her, when Kahlua was racing at her again, right in front of her. Karasuba ducked and spun. With a leap and spin, Kahula kicked her on the shoulder, knocking her back into the middle of the room. The leg sweep Karasuba attempted didn't even contact.
After another blisteringly fast kick to the chest, Karasuba realized this was no soft, innocent woman. Bringing up everything she had, Karasuba met Kahlua again, at least this time ducking a swing to smash her fist into Kahlua's iron hard stomach before Kahlua drove a knee into Karasuba that knocked her up into the ceiling. Karasuba kicked off the ceiling and came back down, ready to do serious damage to blondie. This time she did drive her fist right into Kahlua's cheek, making Kahlua's head turn. Kahlua continued to spin in the same direction and countered with a high kick that send Karasuba into another wall.
"Ouch," Karasuba grunted as she prepared to meet Kahlua racing at her again. This time, Karasuba anticipated Kahlua's kick and spun under it. Coming up into a crouch, Karasuba grabbed Kahlua's hips from behind and flung Kalhua into the far wall. Immediately, Karasuba charged as Kahlua met the wall on her feet and bounced back at her to meet Karasuba's charge.
Moka noted that although Karasuba had nowhere near the ability of Kahlua in speed or strength, she didn't do that bad. She stayed on her feet and gave the occasional counter and even rocked Kahlua back a couple times. Kahlua beat her all over the room, but Karasuba took it and kept fighting.
"Enough!" Issa roared.
Kahlua stopped mid stride. Karasuba dropped to her knees, panting in rasping gasps. Seeing Karasuba smiling, Kahlua asked with her own bright smile, "Did you have a good time?"
Karasuba nodded and struggled back up. Letting out a chuckle, she said, "You are much tougher than you look. That was fun."
"Ohhh! Hear that Daddy?" Kahlua cried happily as she bounced in place. "Can Karasuba come over and play with me more?"
"If she is not busy, dear. I am sure Moka has things for her to do," Issa told her. To Moka, he raised his glass and said, "That was a fairly impressive show for a servant. It appears the boy knows how to pick well."
With Issa's approval as Karasuba being a personal guard, he asked about Moka's accommodations. Moka had Ruby explain the entire castle she and Yukari had conjured up for them as well as the magic coach that brought them here.
.
Issa was impressed that Tsukune had done as well as he did. He did his best not to show it to Moka. He knew that Moka would report back to Tsukune. He wanted Tsukune to keep trying harder, and not be satisfied he had 'made it'. Keeping up a not quite satisfied demeanor was not easy. Truthfully, Tsukune had done very well with followers and servants as well as seizing wealth and position. He was well ahead of other potential suitors for Moka's hand. The closest one to him in the young age bracket had only a small stock holding in Tsukune's company, and had acquired his own house. Issa was sure that boy also only had one paid servant to assist him. He knew well that neither that young man nor his servant would be able to stand two minutes against Kahlua, let alone ten full minutes and end up on their feet and smiling at the end of the match.
Despite Issa's reservations, it was looking like Aono Tsukune was earning his way for the right to ask for Moka's hand.
.
In their competition to determine who was the best, Uzume and Kurumu had worn Tsukune out with sex. Resting in his bed with a smile on his face, Tsukune hugged both busty girls to him.
"So, Tsukune, I'm the best, right?" Kurumu asked quietly.
"My Ashikabi, tell the truth, no one is better than me," Uzume sang and snuggled into him.
Tsukune opened his eyes. Quietly, he said, "Girls, it is not a contest. There should be no competition between you." Pulling them close, he kissed Kurumu and said, "I know I am your Destined One, and I will always do my best for you." He then kissed Uzume and said, "As your Ashikabi, I will always protect and love you as you protect and love me. Both of you are special to me, so please accept I will not hold one over the other. Our strength is in being together. All of us."
Kurumu cracked a grin and said, "But competing is fun."
"It is," Uzume said with her own sly grin. "And we get to snuggle until Moka gets back."
Each with an arm on Tsukune's chest, Uzume laid her hand over Kurumu's. "Snuggle tonight, compete in the morning."
"YaHoo," Kurumu cried softly in agreement.
.
Tsukune could not remember when he'd been so warm. In the morning, he woke up sweating from the heat of being trapped between two bodies. Both leaning into him, and Kurumu and Uzume's arms over him interlocked, he had trouble getting up. Not being able to rise or slide up, He wiggled down to try and slip between them. He managed to slip down to chest level to them. As he'd slipped down, Kurumu and Uzume had come together in their sleep. They were all but hugging each other with his head now buried in large, soft breast. Eventually, Tsukune got out from in between them.
The sun wasn't quite up yet. Tsukune went in the bathroom to get cleaned up. As he washed, Tsukune thought about how both girls had made love with an almost desperate passion, and first clung tightly to him and now to each other. Kurumu was a Succubus, Tsukune knew she needed love and sex. He knew little about Sekerei, but apparently, Uzume at least, needed the same. They were from two different worlds, but not so different in the end.
Getting his clothes together, he noted Kurumu and Uzume were still asleep, now holding each other close. Kurumu had slipped up and bit, and Uzume down. Kurumu held Uzume's head, which was nested into Krumu's chest, using her breasts as her pillow. The door to his room opened. He turned to see Ruby. Quickly he put a finger to his lips and pointed at the bed. Ruby looked at the bed, then came over to him and asked, "They gave you a show last night?" she asked with a twinkle in her eye.
"Show and tell, and show again," he said softly, grinning back at her. "Uzume is as much of a sex demon as Kurumu is." He then thought about school. "Ruby, will it really be all right to leave the Sekerei girls here while we're in school?"
"Why not?" Ruby asked. "They should be fine. I left a list of recommended chores for them. Chiho has already planned some jobs also."
Tsukune itched the back of his head. Nervously, he said, "I don't want to work them to death."
Ruby giggled at him and said, "Just things to keep them busy. Have you gotten your books from your dorm room yet?"
Tsukune looked as her and flushed. "Ahh..."
"You will all need to leave early to collect the things from your dorm rooms," Ruby stated. "Moka and Mizore are already at their dorm room collecting their things." She then pointed her wand at the bed. A bright globe of light shown over the bed. Ruby called, "Rise and shine!"
Two heads lifted with a groan. Seeing they were holding each other, Kurumu and Uzume yelped and jerked back. They stared ar each other, then the spot between them.
"Time to get up, we got things to do!" Ruby announced.
.
Chiho got breakfast going for the house. Uzume took Tsukune, Kurumu and Yukari to their dorm rooms to get packed. Tsukune didn't have much, he had Uzume wait with the coach outside the girls dorm. By the time Tsukune was dressed for school and packed with his box of clothes and another of everything else, the coach was filling with boxes from the girl's rooms. Kurumu had four boxes, as did Moka. By the time they put everything on the coach, it was full.
Students coming out for school noted the coach. Although no one asked about it, they did take note of it and whispered to each other. Ruby had gone off the school building. Tsukune had Uzume take the coach full of boxes back to the castle for unloading. He walked to school as usual with Moka on his right, Kurumu on his left, Mizore and Yukari trailing right behind them.
Talk around the school was that Moka had died. Seeing her alive and well make boys cheer heartily
The other hot item of conversation in the school was the castle that had arisen not far off school grounds. Tsukune did note that he was able to see the towers from his classroom. Although Tsukune didn't think it was a good idea to say anything, when a couple girls talked with Kurumu, she loudly announced, "Yes, that's ours! Tsukune had it built just for me ... and Moka!" She added Moka in as an afterthought since Moka was watching her.
Girls were swooning at Tsukune's apparent wealth, and boys in the class grumbled and muttered death threats at Tsukune for taking the two hottest girls in the school as his own. Other than that, Tsukune had a fairly normal day in class.
During the school day, Tsukune and the others were looking for items for the school newspaper. Kurumu got news of a few students who were now couples and some fashion updates from the human world, Moka got some news items from different clubs, Tsukune got ideas for his latest advice column, and Yukari got caught up on official school events coming up. Going to club after school, they worked at the layout for the next paper. Once that was done, they got a good start on their articles and called it a night. Leaving, they were surprised to find Uzume had the coach waiting for them outside the building.
Two boys were standing by Uzume and the coach. Obviously interested in Uzume, the boys beamed big smiles at her.
"Your coach is amazing!" one boy said. "Can we take a ride in it?"
"It belongs to my Ashikabi," Uzume told him.
"What's an Ashikabi? I never heard of those before," he asked, looking confused.
Seeing Tsukune and Moka come out, Uzume pointed and said, "Tsukune is my Ashikabi! To love and protect forever!" Uzume beamed.
The boys turned to Tsukune and scowled at him. The shorter one balled his fists and yelled, "Aono! Just HOW many beautiful girls do you need?"
"So unfair!" the other one agreed loudly. "We should kill him!"
Moka shifted into her silver haired form. "You should be on your way," she said firmly.
Seeing the silver haired vampire the boys did skulk away.
"So unfair." *sniff* one complained.
"We need a powerful S class monster to date too!" the other said.
Tsukune ignored them. "Uzume, thank you for picking us up. How did you know when we were going to be finished?"
"Ruby told me," Uzume beamed at him. "All your things are in your rooms. Dinner should be ready when we get home."
"I want to ride in front!" Yukari announced and quickly climbed up into the front seat. It was getting dark, she cast a glowing orb under the seat to illuminate the ground in front of the coach.
Piling in the back, Tsukune sat in the rear seat beside Moka. Mizore slid in on his other side.
"Hey!" Kurumu complained, glaring down on Mizore.
Mizore pointed at her and monotoned, "Too slow."
Kurumu plopped down in the seat facing them. Wearing a smirk, she took her shoes off and put her feet on Tsukune's legs. "Uzume, hit a lot of bumps!" she said.
"No, you baka milk cow!" Yukari said as she turned to scowl at Kurumu.
Off to the side, the pair of boys watched Uzume drive off with Tsukune and three of the most beautiful girls in the school. The driver was hot, and well stacked also.
"So unfair."
"We need to do something!" the other boy said firmly.
"We do, Aono is stealing all the best looking girls for himself!"
The two boys went around to gather support. The Anti-Aono Tsukune club was formed.
.
A large group of boys gathered outside the boys dorm. One boy stood up in front of the door and yelled, "This is too much! Aono has all those girls to himself, we have to do something about him!"
"He has five we know of, probably more!"
"Yeah, kill him, take those girls for our own!" another boy cried.
A boy transformed into a warthog. "I say we storm in there and grab those girls for ourselves!"
"We deserve hot girlfriends too!"
A member of the gardening club, a boy raised his hoe and yelled, "WE NEED GIRLFRIENDS!"
Fists thrust into the air and a chant rose up. "Girlfriends! Girlfriends! Girlfriends! Girlfriends!"
.
Karasuba and Uzume had been busy during the day while Tsukune had been in school. They had gotten the dinning room spruced up with small dual chandeliers over the table, padded chairs and a colorful table cloth. Kurumu and Chiho made a tasty meal that Ruby helped serve. Chiho sat down by Uzume to eat. Ruby continued to stay behind Tsukune in her black and white French Maid's uniform until she was needed.
In the room they dubbed the 'family room', there were two couches with wide seats and several chairs in a semi-circle around the three meter wide fireplace. at one end of the room and tables and chairs scattered through the rest of the room. After dinner, they went to do their school work at the tables in the family room. Ruby ignited a warm, glowing fire in the fireplace. Chiho and Uzume relaxed by the fire, feet up on padded footstools. Karasuba took a security tour around the castle.
Walking the perimeter walls, Karasuba noticed a gaggle of people coming. Some bore torches, others garden tools. Studying them, they all looked like students. Jumping down off the wall, Karasuba strode to the entrance gate and waited for them to march up. When they got within easy talking range, she held up a hand and barked, "Stop! What is your business?"
A couple boys scowled, more gazed longingly at her, a few drooled upon seeing her. Their answer was all the same.
"WE WANT GIRLFRIENDS!"
Karasuba laughed at them. "Then go to the girl's dorm, there's plenty there," she told them.
"Aono has all you girls," an ogre boy announced. "I just want one!"
"Why come here?" Karasuba asked. "No girl here will be your girlfriend," she said flatly.
"I will take one!" the boy roared and strode forward.
Karasuba charged. The boy made a clumsy attempt to grab her. In blistering fast moves, she knocked his arm away, kicked him in the stomach, drove an upper cut up into his chin, then rammed a knee into his groin that knocked him back into the crowd. He landed on a blob monster, making the blob splat to the sides.
Standing still in a sexy pose, Karasuba asked, "Anyone else?"
"If we beat you, we can have you?" the Warthog boy asked, his eyes shining.
"That is the only way you'll have me," Karasuba told him.
Warthog boy charged her. Karasuba waited until he was close, then dropped and kicked low, sweeping his feet out from under him. She shot up as he hit the ground face first. Grabbing his feet she pulled up and swung him around in a circle. Spinning around twice, she pulled him up higher and let go. The Warthog boy went flying away in a yell as he sailed over a few heads before crashing into the crowd.
Karasuba grinned widely and rubbed her hands together. "That was fun, who's next?"
A Tiger boy jumped at her. She jumped up and kicked him in the side of the head. He tumbled away. By the time he got up, she was in his face again. She punched him with two fast blows, driving him back. A roundhouse kick knocked him back into a bearish boy. The boy became angry and hit tiger boy. They began to fight each other, leaving Karasuba without an opponent. Looking at the now not-so aggressive crowd, she spotted another solid looking boy who was watching the tiger/bear fight. She charged over and kick him hard in the chest, catapulting him backwards to knock over another boy behind him.
The crowd back up away from the gate, eyeing Karasuba.
Karasuba frowned at them. "Oh come on!" she wailed, throwing her arms in the air to flop down. "I thought you came to fight?"
A meek sounding boy said, "Ahhh, we just came ... because we wanted a girlfriend."
"You are so lame," Karasuba grumbled at him. "You need to go find a girlfriend to suit you. Everyone here fights, we love to get into a tough, vigorous battle." Smiling, she announced, "There is nothing like a good, hard fight to get us pumped up! Blood flying, bones breaking, Ohhh, that is so exciting!" she raved.
"Flying blood as bodies tumble! Music in the wailing cries of the wounded and death rattles of the fallen! Making a bracelet of your enemy's genitals to count your kills. True passion is beating or being beaten then standing over the body of your victim who failed to MAKE you submit! So WHO'S FIRST?"
Karasuba didn't notice, but the crowd dispersed as she raved on. By the time she finished her rant, she looked around and asked, "Where did they all go?"
.
After club and school work, Moka decided they all needed to keep in top shape with sparing matches in the practice yard.
Pumped up from those boys who came to the gate, Karasuba was eager to go. Pointing at Moka, she announced, "Winner gets Ashikabi for the night!"
Moka eyed her with an unpleasant grin. "That will be me as usual," she stated.
"Saying and doing are two different things," Karasuba replied and motioned Moka closer.
"I will show you your place if you insist," Moka warned.
"Standing over your defeated body?" Karasuba asked with a wicked grin.
"Girls! This is suppose to be sparing, not a death match," Tsukune reminded them loudly.
"We know," they chorused and took their stances, casting wicked grins at each other.
"Say the word, Ashikabi," Karasuba said.
Reluctantly, Tsukune barked, "Begin!"
They flew together, fists and feet flying. Although it was obvious Moka had the edge in power and speed, Karasuba was crafty. Knowing she was out-classed, she concentrated on defense blocks and dodging Moka's strikes. Every once in a while Karasuba landed a hit that rocked Moka. When Karasuba fell, Moka gave her time to regain her balance before Moka dove on her again.
Like when she was sparing against him, Karasuba wore a smile the whole time Moka was knocking her around. Moka was getting frustrated because although she was contacting time and time again, Karasuba might fall, but she sprung right back up, and if Moka misjudged, Karasuba countered with a solid hit. After ten minutes of speed-blurred action, Tsukune saw the signs. Moka was becoming irritated she couldn't put Karasuba down, and Karasuba was showing signs of fatigue.
"STOP!" Tsukune barked loudly.
Karasuba, who'd just been slid back ten meters from a blow, relaxed her pose and stood up, grinning. Moka relaxed her pose and didn't rush forward.
"Not bad," Moka admitted.
"You're pretty good," Karasuba replied. "That was fun."
Moka grinned with a snort. "Indeed. Uzume, Kurumu, you're next!"
"Me?" Kurumu asked, wide-eyed.
Eyeing them, Moka said, "No nails, wings or cloths. Just the two of you in human form, no enhancements."
"Oh come on!" Kurumu whined.
"Winner gets two hours alone with Tsukune," Moka stated.
Uzume and Kurumu were suddenly on each side of Moka.
"Get ready to eat dirt," Kurumu stated, balling her fists.
"Ha! I'll use those boobs of your as punching bags!" Uzume shot back.
"Enough talk!" Moka said and backed away with only a hand between them, then dropped her hand with a bark "Begin!" She then jumped back to give them fighting room.
Although they did not move at the blistering speed Moka and Karasuba moved at, they were still fast and attacked each other with a vengeance. At first, Tsukune thought Uzume was going to wipe the ground with Kurumu. Kurumu kept getting knocked back and tried to fend Uzume off with an almost girly-defensive, letting Uzume's hits get through. Uzume was showing a glint of victory in her eye as she beat Kurumu around in a circle.
Suddenly, things changed. Uzume threw a hard punch. Kurumu ducked low and hit her with a fast leg sweep, taking Uzume off her feet. As she was still falling, Kurumu spun back and hit her hard in the chest, crushing Uzume's right breast flat to spread out to the side. Uzume tumbled wearing a shocked look.
The instant Uzume rolled and got her feet under her, Kurumu was behind her to grab her by the arm and flip Uzume over her back, then grabbed Uzume by the ankle and threw her in the air.
Now it was Kurumu who had the upper hand and was keeping it. Uzume tried a kick to end up flying in the air again. A punch from a frustrated Uzume was caught in Kurumu's underarm. In fast motions, Kurumu slapped Uzume across the face several times before the flustered Sekerei could break free. Kurumu then hooked a foot behind Uzume and pushed her down, followed by another ankle grab and toss. After seeing Uzume getting thrashed around the practice area for another five minutes, Moka barked, "STOP!"
Tsukune and Moka had to run over and physically stop them from fighting. Since neither would stop, no winner was decided.
Chiho, who was regaining strength since Tsukune had cured her blood disease, wanted to learn to defend herself also. Mizore took on the task, first having Chiho do exercises and runs around the practice area. Chiho being a slim human girl, Mizore focused mostly on dodges and distraction moves like eye-pokes, foot stomps and groin kicks. Mizore made sure Chiho knew these were moves just to distract some monster so Chiho had the time to run away and go get help.
.
The 'Aono clan' settled into their routine. Ruby split her time, doing some work for the Director, but always making time on the Saturdays to take Tsukune and Moka to Tokyo to check on MBI and what was happening there. Early Sundays were hanging around the Castle time and swimming in their pool that was full of a greenish tinted water due to the herbs in it. Sunday afternoons were a trip to the club room to get a start on the newspaper.
Tsukune found out that Kyoko had bought a house. A fixer-upper that did need work. Since Gin had graduated, Moka was the official club President. Winter break was coming up, Moka got a school trip arraigned for Tsukune's home town. Having fresh fish markets, their teacher was more that eager to take them on a stay to learn how to fix up a house. They all brought tents and sleeping bags to 'camp out' in Kyoko's back yard.
Calling to verify they were coming, Tsukune found out Kyoko didn't really have a yard, but Kasumi did insist 'Tsukune and his friends' stay in their back yard.
"Tsukune all four of your girlfriends are coming?" Kasumi asked.
Tsukune let out a nervous chuckle and quickly said, "Moka, Kumuru, Mizore, Ruby, Yukari, Karasuba, Uzume, and Chiho are coming. That's why we'll bring tents."
There was a pause, then Kasumi said, "Tsukune, dear, that's more than four. That sounded more like eight."
"Ah, ha ha, yeah, Mom. We're coming to help Kyoko with her house."
"So some of those girls are volunteering to help?"
"We all are," Tsukune assured her.
"That's very nice of those extra girls to come help," Kasumi praised. "I'm sure Kyoko will be thrilled."
.
Koji was happy Tsukune was going to help his cousin with her new house. It was only a one bedroom on a tiny city lot, but for Kyoko, it was a big deal. Knowing help was coming, he'd gotten extra cleaning rags, buckets and cleaners, as well the brushes and sticks for the painting Kyoko wanted to do. Kyoko bought the paints. Koji also took some time off work so he could give a hand (and see all of his son's cute friends)
Hearing Tsukune and his harem were coming, Kyoko also got some extra food for a celebration dinner at her new house.
.
On the Friday that started Winter Break, Miss Nekome, Tsukune and his 'household' boarded the bus. Going into the human world, they got onto the street his parent's house was on to see a storm had brewed up. It wasn't just a rainstorm. A Typhoon was blowing in.
"You folks might want to think about going back. This is going to be a bad one," the bus driver said. As if to emphasize the point, the wind howled and the bus tipped. Someone's roof went flying by.
"Master, we should go back," Ruby said.
"But ... my parents," Tsukune said weakly.
"Tsukune, this is only the beginning. This storm is going to be deadly," Ruby insisted.
"Then we have to go get my parents!" Tsukune insisted.
The bus driver was good. He dodged large flying objects and kept the bus from tipping over with the wind with Ruby's help. Ruby deflected wind and smaller objects so he could keep driving. Stopping at Tsukune's house, he said, 'Better hurry."
Tsukune moved to get off. Moka grabbed his arm. "Tsukune! Look at the rain out there, you can't leave the bus!"
"I will!" Kurumu said and got up. She pointed to Uzume and said, Watch for me, I'll bring Tsukune's parents out. We'll take them out of danger!"
"They can't go to the monster world," The bus driver said.
"Tokyo!" Tsukune said. "Can we take them to Tokyo?"
The driver opened the bus doors. "Hurry up, we can't stay here much longer."
.
Inside, Koji, Kasumi and Kyoko sat in the kitchen watching the small TV that had a snowy picture with worried faces. The areas the center of the storm had passed through had ripped apart houses and many businesses, and it was coming this way.
"Koji, what do we do?" Kasumi asked in a whine.
"Retreat into the bathroom if the walls or roof go," Kyoko said nervously.
Just then the front door flung open. "Hello?" Kurumu called.
Kyoko stood up. "Kurumu? What are you doing here?"
"The worst part of the storm is coming soon! We came to get you out, come on!" Kurumu yelled and motioned to them.
"But , we aren't ready ..." Kasumi began. Koji guided her for the door with a bark of, "Just go!"
Koji pushed Kasumi and Kyoko out the door to meet a blast of wind. Kurumu got their front door shut and herded them onto the bus. Koji and Kasumi got sat on the left, behind Karasuba and Chiho and ahead of Uzume and Yukari. Kyoko took Kurumu's previous seat ahead of Tsukune and Moka. Kurumu sat behind them with Mizore.
The driver took off. He drove, fighting the wind, then they reached the tunnel and the wind dropped off.
"A tunnel?" Koji asked, gazing at the colored walls flashing by.
"It's a good way to travel, huh?" Chiho asked him.
"I didn't know we had a tunnel in town," Koji said.
They came out of the tunnel into a cloudy but calm day. Tsukune got on the phone as Koji frowned, then pointed at a sign and said, "This ... is Tokyo! How'd we get here so fast!"
"Good bus," the driver said, and let out an evil chuckle.
On his phone, Tsukune asked, "The Maison Izumo is full? ... OK, I can see that ... How about the mansion on MBI? ... Right, we'll be there shortly."
To Moka he said, "Miya has a full house, so we'll go up to the mansion. Minato finally got in school, he and his girls are still living one floor down."
Kyoko turned and asked, "Tsukune, you're renting a mansion?"
"Ahh, not exactly," he said and itched the back of his head.
"He owns the building," Moka told her.
Kyoko's eyes grew wide. "Tsuki owns something THAT big?"
"It's not exactly an apartment building," Tsukune offered.
"Then what is it?" Kyoko asked.
Karasuba pointed out the front and said, "The tall building, up there."
"Our Ashikabi has the tallest building in the city!" Uzume bragged.
Koji laughed, "You're saying Tsukune owns the MBI building? Kasume, they are playing with us."
"No," Moka said musically, "Tsukune owns MBI."
"That's impossible!" Kyoko announced.
"Nothing is impossible for my Ashikabi!" Karasuba announced.
Kasumi frowned at her and asked, "What's an… Ashikabi?"
Beaming a mile, Uzume said, "Our Ashikabi is the one we will love and protect forever!"
"We have the best Ashikabi!" Karasuba agreed.
Kasumi looked at each girl then Tuskune. "Son, you have MORE girlfriends?" she asked in a squeak.
"Tsuki!" Kyoko cried, glaring at him.
Koji only grinned proudly.
When the bus pulled to to the curb outside the MBI building, Koji watched Tsukune and his girls collect their bags and get off. When they did, two guards came out and opened the entry doors for them.
Following their son, Koji, Kasumi and Kyoko walked up to the doors and saw the guards bow.
"Welcome back, Mr. Aono," they choused.
"Thank you," Kouta replied.
In the lead, Uzume walked them through the open lobby to an elevator. Another guard unlocked the elevator and opened the door for them.
It was a tight fit getting everyone into the elevator. Moka managed to stay on one side of Tsukune, his father was pressed against his other side. Kurumu was packed in front of him with Uzume. Thankfully, the ride up was short The elevator sped up, ran for a couple minutes, then slowed town.
The elevator door opened to show the path that went through a beautiful garden to the two story palace Ruby had made.
'Tsuki, you have a apartment in this place?" Kyoko asked.
Ruby stepped out ahead of the pack and turned bow to everyone to say, "Welcome to Lord Aono's house in Tokyo."
"But. How?" Kasumi asked weakly.
"It's a long story, Mom," Tsukune offered.
"At least you and your harem didn't destroy Tokyo," Kyoko grumbled as she eyed Tsukune.
"We made it better," Tsukune said.
.
Going inside the grand entry, Koji was just as befuddled as Kasume and Kyoko were as they eyed the large golden chandelier and brass statues that lined the walls. "Son, how could you possibly pay for something like this! Not to mention this building … and acquiring MBI as your own."
"I had plenty of help, Dad," Tsukune told him. "Chiho, Uzume, Karasuba, Yukari, Ruby, Mizore, Kurumu and Moka, plus many others you are sure to meet. There was an evil man who had a firm grip on Tokyo. We removed him from power."
"The idiot was shown his place," Karasuba stated, then grinned at Moka.
"It was what you call, a hostile takeover," Moka said with a grin.
Kyoko knew what Moka and these girls were capable of. "I bet it was," she agreed.
"A hostile takeover of a business the size of MBI would require trillions of yen," Koji said absently.
"No, just a significant amount of force applied to the right places," Karasuba told him. She then winked and said, "We are good at that."
"I convinced the previous owner he needed to resign," Moka said.
"Spar with me later?" Karasuba asked.
"No!" Tsukune said quickly, "No sparing. At least, not here."
"Kurumu and I never got to finish our match," Uzume said in a grumble.
"That's because you were out to kill each other," Moka retorted.
"Ahh, Ruby?" Tsukune asked to stop the current line of discussion. "Would you please show Mom, Dad and Kyoko to their guest rooms?"
"Yes, Master," Ruby said in a bow.
"Master?" Koji asked as he eyed her.
"Oh yes! I am Master's slave, to do anything he wishes of me," Ruby said happily. "This way, please."
Kyoko let out a huff and asked, "So Tsuki, HOW many girls are you master of?"
Uzume tapped Kyoko on the shoulder and said, "The proper term is 'Ashikabi'."
"It is," Karasuba added.
"NO, Tsukune's my Destined One." Kurumu stated.
"My Mate of fate," Mizore said.
"Tsukune will forever be my Blood Mate," Moka stated.
"Tsukune and Moka will be my lovers!" Yukari cheerfully added, which got everyone to look at her.
"You wish," Moka said.
Kasumi passed out on the floor.
