I do not own Rosario + Vampire. This is my original fan fiction story based on the manga series created by Akihisa Ikeda. Its where the story continues on in my heart from where Akihisa Ikeda chose to end his story of Tsukune Aono and Moka Akashiya. I make no money from this in any way. This is just for fun and to increase my writing and story telling skills. I hope you are enjoying this story as much as I am in writing it. I would also like to thank you all for the positive reviews I've been getting as well as the favorites and follows on this story. THANK YOU!
Scene from the previous chapter;
"Fire and Brimstone from the Heavens fall, Golden washtubs crush them all. Lightning and winds let none escape, my witches wrath that's become their fate! Deathly poison curse ground below, tearing flesh, their blood to flow! Behold your doom, my witches wrath. This valleys your tomb, a true witches wrath. You sealed your fate, attacking whats mine. But I'll let you know this, before you're out of time. My Daughter still lives, cured by power divine!" Fujiko screamed toward the valley below.
Winds and lightning began to toss the soldiers of Fairy Tail off their feet as poison on the ground dissolved the skin that it touched. Fire and Brimstone lit up the sky, raining down into the valley below. Golden washtubs falling with the fire to crush with devastating impacts, shaking the entire land below. Trucks filled with foul cargo were utterly destroyed. The washtubs crushed them as the fire and brimstone melted flesh, steel and stone. The valley ablaze in magma and fire, the mansion collapsed into a molten funeral pyre. The last thing Arthor saw and heard before he screamed his last, was Fujiko's face full of tears of rage as she laughed at his impending death.
Then as quickly as it had started, it was over. Fujiko slumped over and silently asked the horse to take her back with all speed. That she might say goodbye before she paid vengeance's price. Arthor Malfient and his weapons that were in the valley below, were no more. The cost was Fujiko's magical reserves were drained so low that her life hanging by a thread. It would be a miracle if she survived the trip back as her unconscious body bounced along, secured in the saddle, as the horse raced back towards Shuzen castle.

Chapter 29
A Siren's Song
/\^^/\
It was shortly after 8:30 am when Gin Morioka finally got through to Shuzen Castle to talk to Tsukune and Moka. What he found out left him both shocked, relieved and troubled. He had told Tsukune what both he and his girlfriend San Otonashi had witnessed around 4:30am that morning. How they had been eating breakfast and drinking coffee together before having to start getting breakfast ready for the guests. When they had felt an aura so strong they thought a pissed off Dark Lord was blazing nearby before they saw Fujiko riding a Death Horse onto the beach right next to them before racing down the beach toward the cliffs and forest near the sunflower fields of the witches ranch.
What troubled Gin, was that Tsukune said that Yukari told him that the Death Horse was Fujiko's familiar. And that as drained as Yukari's moms magical reserves were, the horse might not be able to bring her back to them. As the horses existence in this plane was tied to her magic. If it drops enough the horse will start to lose its ability to stay in this plane of existence. If that happens Fujiko will die shortly afterwords… From having depleted all her magical reserves completely, by just continuing to have the horse in this plane. Gin had then told Tsukune that he would keep an eye out for them and would call back if he saw anything.
San had a look of horror on her face as Gin relaid to her what he found out. Before shooing him out of the kitchen by writing on her tablet she used to communicate. 'GET OUTSIDE AND KEEP A CLOSE WATCH FOR HER! ALERT ME IMMEDIATELY IF YOU SEE HER! AND STAY FOCUSED! IF YOU MISS HER BECAUSE YOU WERE OGLING SOME GIRL JOGGING ON THE BEACH I'LL CUT YOU OFF AND MAKE YOU SLEEP ON THE PORCH LIKE A DOG!' So Gin was now outside, nervously watching the beach in the direction of the cliffs.
San knew exactly how dire the situation really was, she had been among the top students at Yokai Academy when she attended. One of the things she was very grateful for was that over the last several days, ever since the hostage crisis incident, the talk about yokai had taken a very positive turn. So she was preparing herself to take a leap of faith, if things were as bad as she feared. To reveal herself in front of everyone, to use her gift to try and save Fujiko's life. While there had been a few that had asked her if she was the singing angel, the tv news reports managed to film during the Alucard incident. Noting to her tablet she used, as well as her face looked really close to, what the cameras had been able to catch. To which she would just write 'Believe me I'm no Angel.'
The last thing Gin expected to see that morning was a tv news crew pulling into the parking lot, before they began to set up on the beach.
"Shit… I hope they finish whatever it is their doing before Fujiko comes through." Gin muttered under his breath as he continued to monitor the cliffs on the far side of the beach.
They had just begun their live broadcast and were panning the cameras down the beach when Gin saw her. The Death Horse was racing down the cliff, leaving a trail of fire behind. Gin quickly growled in frustration as he raced inside to tell San. The last thing he saw before he entered was the horse stumbling as it hit the sand.
\/^^^^\/
"Good Morning Japan. Were coming to you live from the beach with some news that I'm sure will bring joy to all our local surfers. At about 8:00am this morning a small uninhabited island about 396 kilometers off the south eastern coast of Japan, was struck by an asteroid causing some seismic activity. Scientists at the tsunami warning institute has issued a report that says that the only thing we can expect from the activity is an increase of about 6ft to the swells that normally hit the beach fore about an hour. The report said that the slightly bigger waves pose no danger and should be arriving on our shores in about 2 hours from now… Oh my... what is that?" The cute reporter said, as the cameras panned the beach to what had caught her attention.
The Camera had caught the Death Horse racing down the cliffs and leaping onto the beach at incredible speeds, before it seemed to start stumbling as if it was struggling to keep going. When it reached to about a quarter mile from the Inn, it slowed down to barely a walk, as it struggled to remain standing and moving. All while the cameraman continued to film what was happening and the reporter was reporting what they were seeing. A young woman raced past them towards the horse and rider with a young man following closely with a very nervous look on his face.
"I'm not sure what were seeing for sure… It appears to be some kind of yokai horse, with what looks like a young woman upon it that appears to be unconscious. The horse seems to be injured or something, as it appears to be struggling to be able to stand, let alone continue moving. Hey, were are you two going? It could be dangerous!" The reporter yelled as the young boy and girl raced pass them.
The cameraman continuing to film as the horse laid down on its legs. The fire in its eyes starting to dim as a shrill neighing sound was coming from it, trying to get its riders attention. The woman on the horse wasn't responding to the frantic cries of the horse. The other woman racing to the scene waving the boy to stay back before she let her wings erupt into view from the exposed part of her upper back. Shocking the news crew on the beach. The boy looking around at the crowd of witnesses nearby with eyes full of fear. Then they saw the winged girl begin to hover in the air over the woman who had been riding the horse as it disappeared in a puff of smoke. After a few short moments they began to hear the winged girls beautiful voice begin to sing. A voice only heard once before by the humans that stood gawking with wide eyes. The voice of the Angel that had helped in the fight against Alucard with a song.
"The yokai horse is down and seems to be frantically trying to get the woman's attention… Oh my God… That girl that that just raced past us now has wings and is starting to hover over the horse and rider. The young man that went with her has stopped and is looking around in our direction with what looks like terror on his face. Wait somethings happening… The yokai horse just vanished in a puff of smoke. I'm not sure if you can see this but the angelic girl appears to be saddened, crying over what she is seeing. Oh my… Now we can hear the angelic girl starting to sing. The voice sounds so beautiful and powerful. Her voice is so familiar… I find myself remembering the... Oh my God! It's the Angel from the Alucard incident almost 15-16 months ago." The reporter said as she continued to try to report what she was seeing to the live audience watching the broadcast.

(Last Night, Emperors Palace,Office of the Prime Minister. Shortly after Tsukune and Moka left to return to Shuzen Castle.)
Prime Minister Toranaga along with Taka Hagimora and Ikki Tushanari, were sitting in his office after Tsukune and Moka had left to return to Shuzen Castle. The entire conversation they had with the two young vampires had been broadcast to the senate, who were now on speaker phone with the Prime minister.
"So, I for one am quite impressed. As a diplomat in the art of politics he showed wisdom well beyond what his age would assume to be found. He covered every fear that both sides have concerning open co-existence. Knowing that this young man is going to be the Dark Lord and headmaster of that school that teaches yokai how to co-exist with us. Fills me with hope for the future. Seeing how yokai already treat him like royalty when he comes across them already living and working among us. Tells me how strong his influence and respect among them already is. So tell me, what was your honest impression, your honest opinion of the meeting with them?" Prime minister asked.
"While I'm still a bit nervous about the strength and power many yokai possess. The amount of damage they could do in a short time without batting an eyelash, worry's me. But I have to agree with you about those two as well as his inner circle of friends. After everything I witnessed and heard over the last two days. I do believe that with him around a peaceful co-existence could be very possible. In my opinion, he covered pretty much every fear I have concerning yokai. And I believe him when he says that violations that threaten the peace by yokai will be harshly dealt with. I believe him when he says that they already are harshly dealt with. I found him to be so honest and filled with integrity, that I doubt that boy could lie to save his life." Ikki Tushanari said.
"Well I for one also believed him. He has an extremely strong passion to make it work for everyone. I sincerely believe that he would do everything in his power and then some to ensure that both yokai and humans prosper and benefit from an open co-existence. I found him charming, determined, passionate and under no illusion of the possibilities for things to go wrong. The young Lord knows exactly how much work is going to be needed to make it work. And he's ready to roll up his sleeves and do just that. I like him!" Taka Hagimora said.
"We agree with everything you all have just said. As it goes right now we are currently working on a bill that all parties concerned will be able to take great pride in signing. We've already scratched the parts that Lord Aono didn't like. As well as adding everything he was suggesting as we can fully see the long term benefits to come by adding them. With elections coming up soon, we feel this is the time to finalize this bill, sign it and have it on your desk first thing in the morning. The only requirement we want from you and the Emperor before we'll sign it. Is for the two of you to make Tsukune Aono a Lord here in Japan with all the rights and privileges. So not only the yokai will know he has authority to act here in Japan but also our citizens. Everyone will know that he can enforce the punishments that breaking the laws of the Nation as well as this bill. It will make his station of power here in Japan directly under the Emperor and the office of the Prime Minister." the speaker of the senate house said over the speaker phone.
"I think that is a good suggestion and I for one agree. What do you think Emperor Akihara?" Prime Minister Toranaga asked.
"I agree and am already ahead of you on the matter. The paperwork will be on your desk by morning." Emperor Akihara said.
"Then Prime Minister, you shall have the bill upon your desk by 5:00am tomorrow morning. All that will be left is for you to decide when and where to meet with Lord Aono to sign it into law." The senate speaker said cheerfully.
"Then I look forward to reading the bill first thing tomorrow and if it is up to where I believe Lord Aono will sign it. I will call Lord Aono to arrange a meeting to sign it into law in front of a press conference." Prime Minister Toranaga said with a smile.
\/^^^^\/
One of the things that had caught Tsukune's attention within the Shuzen Castle, was that they were able to watch regular tv, as well as monster vision tv broadcasts. Which had shocked him as Shuzens Castle was beneath a great barrier just like the school. This of course surprised his relatives, since they didn't know that receiving signals from the outside world was pretty much impossible while under the barrier. Issa had merely laughed and told him that with as many businesses he owned in the outside world, it was rather easy for him to purchase enough cable to connect with the outside world. As well as hire a large temporary workforce to bury it all the way from the barrier to his Castle.
"I have internet, tv and phone line cables that are insulated from the barriers effects, just like the phone lines that connect to your schools office and payphones to the outside world. Mikogamy just didn't see a reason to add the other lines." Issa said chuckling with a proud look on his face.
"I think that really needs to change… a computer class would really help the students prepare for the growing technologically dependent world out there if they really want to live in the human world. Plus being able to watch some of the current shows and news could only help students understand part of the human culture more so they won't stick out as much when they go there." Tsukune said with a thoughtful look on his face as he began to reason out the possible benefits of adding those other lines.
While they were all watching the morning news to see how or if the humans had noticed what Fujiko had just unleashed upon a small island almost 400 kilometers off the coast of Japan. They had all found it to be a welcome distraction as they were worried sick about Fujiko Sendo.
It had surprisingly been Kokoa that had suggested it saying, "I wonder how the humans are going to view that kind of destruction? I think I'm going to go watch the Japanese news channel to find out. You all are welcome to join me as we wait for Fujiko to return, or stay here worrying yourselves sick when you know that until she returns there's nothing we can do."
The suggestion had made Issa proud of her. While he knew that Kokoa was looking for a way to keep her pride by finding a distraction to stay calm rather than show everyone just how worried for Yukari's mother she really was. She had shown that she was also taking everyone's emotional state into account and was trying to help them as well. But he would wait until later to give her some praise in private.
It was almost 10:30am when the news broadcast switched to a reporter at the beach the kids were all to familiar with causing everyone to take notice with a bit of fright, since Tsukune had relayed the message he had received from Gin and Gin had not called back yet. It was only a few moments into the broadcast when their fears were confirmed. Followed by watching their dear friend expose herself on live nationwide tv only adding to their worries.
Tsukune was just about to have Scarlet open a portal for all of them when Aqua got his attention while holding up the phone.
"Lord Aono, the Prime Minister is on the line for you." Aqua said in a professional voice while holding the phone out for him.
"Shit!" Tsukune said under his breath as he reached for the phone while trying to calm his voice.
"Good morning Prime Minister this is Tsukune Aono speaking." Tsukune said.
"Just thought you would want to know whats going on over here son. I have Taka Hagimora on the phones right now sending Mr. Tushanari and Capt. Toshihiro along with a swat team as well as a few of the Imperial Guard to ensure your friends safety. They are being informed that they are to be considered as personal friends of the Emperor himself. Their job will be to show our citizens that the Emperor is aware of them and personally welcomes them with full citizen status. Protected by the law! I myself will be making an appearance there within the hour with official paperwork and documents declaring such on a live tv news broadcast. Where I will make sure that everyone knows that aggressive actions against yokai in Japan will be met with extremely harsh punishment. I was hoping you and Lady Akashiya could join me for the news broadcast. As this will be us officially declaring everything we discussed yesterday. I know it's rushed, but I had our meeting we had, broadcast on a secure line with the Senate. The had it teletyped as they listened in and wrote a bill that had everything we discussed in it and signed it. Then they brought it to me early this morning. I carefully went through each page and I can honestly say that this is the kind of bill that not only I was hoping to see. But also the kind of bill that you would be very pleased with. All we need now is your signature and mine and it becomes law." Prime Minister Akihito Toranaga said to Tsukune over the phone.
"Everything, they accepted everything we discussed? Even the tax breaks for businesses?" Tsukune asked almost not believing what he was hearing.
'They did indeed, yes. Provided the Emperor and myself make you a recognized Lord in Japan with all due rights and privileges to officiate punishment to law breaking yokai. Which we were more than happy to agree with." The Prime Minister said joyfully.
"We'll all be there then, along with a news team from monster vision tv to broadcast this historic day to the yokai villages within the barrier." Tsukune said before hanging up with a look of both shock and joyous relief on his face.
"Everyone! We need to put on our best clothes right now before we go. The Prime Minister will be arriving there in an hour for an official news conference declaring The Yokai Rights Act into Law! Everything Moka and I discussed with him yesterday was agreed to and passed by the Senate. And with whats happening right now the Emperor and Prime Minister decided to declare and make it law today! In order to safeguard the lives of San and Gin as well as the Inn's owner and property where they work. Issa would you mind calling Monster vision tv and have them send a news team there at once." Tsukune said to the surprise and shock of everyone present.
"It will be my utmost pleasure my boy. Truly this is a day that will be talked about for centuries to come." Issa said as he took the phone and started dialing, while everyone scurried off to change.

Mariko Harledson the owner of the Seaside Inn had her suspicions of San being the Angel they had all seen fighting against Alucard. But when San wrote down that she wasn't an angel, Mariko had accepted it. To Mariko, San was like the daughter she had always wanted. Why she liked a pervert like Gin made her want to pull out her hair for awhile until she began to see that Gin did have a few good qualities to him. And that he was loyal to San in every way except for his wandering eyes that he kept saying just loved to appreciate the beauty of woman. It also seemed like the more time he was around San the less perverted he acted, like she was somehow able to bring out his best qualities. He was a good worker and didn't complain about the pay. Even had himself a good gig as a semi professional photographer, who's reputation for taking amazing photo's was growing very steadily.
So when Mariko noticed San was acting nervously that morning and even asking people what they thought about yokai. So when Mariko asked her if everything was ok, San had merely said that a friend of hers mother was in serious trouble, possibly dying, and that her friend was a yokai. Mariko found herself somewhat shocked that San actually knew a yokai enough to actually be friends with her.
It was almost 10:30am when Gin rushed in saying something bad was happening on the beach while saying the name Fujiko Sendo. At which San took off out the door like the Inn was on fire with Gin running closely behind her. So Mariko followed them out only to stop in shock at what she was seeing. A yokai horse with a woman riding on its back falling down onto the beach as San and Gin raced toward them, with a news crew capturing everything on camera. Mariko's eyes widened and her hands shot up to cover her mouth in unbelief and shock as she witnessed beautiful white wings like an angel, seem to explode from Sans back and lift her off the ground after she waved for Gin to stay back.
"Why San? Why did you lie to me and say you weren't an angel?" Mariko asked nobody, just herself.
"It because she's not an angel, she's a siren and she's not allowed to expose herself to humans." A voice of a man said quietly to her.
"Excuse me? And just who are you and how do you know that?" Mariko asked with alarm in her voice.
"Relax. My name is Akito Hibishu, I'm with the Imperial Department of Paranormal sciences. We've known about San and Gin for quite some time now. Monitoring them to not only keep citizens safe from them should they become aggressive for some reason or another. But to also keep them safe if by chance someone actually recognized them. Ever hear someone say, why would an angel be working at an inn. Aren't they supposed to be in heaven or flying through the sky's protecting us or something? That was one of us throwing doubt into peoples minds when they had in fact recognized her from the Alucard event." Akito said to her in a lowered tone.
"Did you just say that you were monitoring Gin as well? Is he a Siren too?" Mariko asked feeling a little faint as she kept turning her head from what was happening on the beach to the man beside her.
"No, he's a werewolf… um excuse me for a moment while I take this." Akito started to say before his cell phone started to ring.
Mariko then turned her attention back toward the beach, gulping as she repeated Akito's words to herself in her head. 'He's a werewolf.' She then began to hear the most beautiful voice start singing on the beach. The voice was bringing tears to her eyes from how lovely it sounded. The woman who's horse just seemed to disappear in a puff of smoke a few moments before, was now beginning to glow under the power of San's strong voice singing over her.
"Well I think you'll be happy to know that you're Inn is about to become world famous. A Swat team along with the Imperial Guard are on their way here along with the Prime Minister, A Dark Lord and every news agency in the region. Today they are making The Yokai Rights Act become Law! Right here in about an hour. As the first officially recognized business with yokai employee's you're about to get some very serious tax breaks along with a grant to repair, remodel and upgrade your inn." The man said to Mariko who just looked at him with a dazed expression before fainting from the information overload.
\/^^^^\/
San Otonashi was running down the beach as she watched the Death Horse begin to evaporate back into the ethereal plane it came from in a puff of smoke. The dreaded sign that time was no longer a plentiful commodity, but extremely short for Yukari's mother. Waving a hand at Gin to stay back she brought forth her wings and flew the rest of the way. Shedding a few tears as she was sure she would have to leave the human world for exposing herself. Hoping against all hope that Mariko would still love her like a daughter… that she would let her return to her if she was able to return to the human world at all someday. But with the life of someone she held dear's mother in the balance, the choice was clearly already made for her. Pausing for a few moments to wipe her eyes and focus on what she needed to do before she opened her mouth and began to sing.
A/N; I wrote and own the lyrics.
A Mothers Love
A mothers love, caresses the heart
A mothers love, can never depart
Like true magic it's something to behold
Unconditional it's magic is so bold
A mothers love, defends her child fiercely
A mothers love, bathes the world in light.
A mothers love, guides her child dearly
As it teaches her child wrong from right.
A mothers love is a beautiful magic
So let that magic flow through you now
As you still have so much love to share
And a child who needs your loving care
The Magic of Love
Is the most beautiful, powerful
Force within the world
The Magic of Love
Changes everything, and I mean everything…
When it's loosed upon the world.
So show your magic… to the world.
Fujiko began to come back to consciousness, as San was halfway through her third encore of the song, with tears flowing down her face from the beauty of the sirens song. She felt her reserves being filled as she sung over her, bathing her in her powerful voice. Assuring her that she would see her baby, her daughter Yukari and her husband again. And much to her surprise and delight, at the end of the song she found two pairs of arms quickly wrapped around her, those of her daughter and husband.
\/^^^^\/
Shuzen Castle was a rapid flurry of organized chaos as everyone was quickly getting ready. The maids stripping and redressing the humans at frightening speeds. Make up was applied perfectly at speeds that Tsukune's mother and aunt never would have believed possible, while Tsukune's grandmother Michiko Aono really seemed to be enjoying herself. Within 5 minutes they were all ready and heading over to Scarlet. When they were all there Scarlet opened up a portal to the Seaside Inn. Shocking a few people with their sudden appearance as they walked through.
Mariko who was just starting to awaken after fainting a moment ago, watching with wide eyes as the kids who saved her Inn just 2 years ago, walked through what looked like a rip in the fabric of reality. She watched the youngest of them along with a man start to run down the beach, hearing the young girl cry mom as she ran. Mariko then noticed the other kids looking around before they spotted her, greeting her with warm smiles as they made their way over to her.
"Ms. Harledson, it's a pleasure to see you again. We've all been meaning to visit but… well with school and everything we just haven't really had the time." Tsukune said in a warm, kind and gentle voice.
"Your… all yokai?" Mariko asked bewildered.
"Well other than my family that came through the portal with us, with the exception of my cousin Kyoko… now... Um yeah, you could say that." Tsukune said a bit nervously.
"Um… So let me see if I remember everyone here. Tsukune Aono, Kurumu Kurono, Mizore Shirayuki, the young teen that ran down the beach with who I'm assuming was her father was Yukari Sendo. But where's Moka Akashiya? Was she not able to come?" Mariko asked as she pointed to each of the kids as she recalled their names."
"I'm right here Ms. Harledson. The pink haired version of me was a disguise created by my old rosary I used to wear. Sadly it was destroyed in the battle with Alucard… This is how I look with my new one." Moka said with a look of sadness beginning to show, as memories of that day began to replay in her mind.
"So that was you guy's huh?" Mariko asked as she looked upon the teens in awe.
"Yes… Though we won that day in the end… It was also the day I lost my mother." Moka said sadly.
"Your mother was one of the three Dark Lords that sacrificed themselves to finish Alucard once and for all. She was Akasha Bloodriver wasn't she?" Mariko asked as she looked upon Moka softly as she began to wrap her arms around the saddened vampire.
"Yes… That was my mother… my old disguise was a clone of her." Moka said before a few tears began to fall.
"Oh you poor child. I so sorry for your loss, please forgive me for bring up such a painful memory for you." Mariko said holding Moka in her arms as she tried to comfort her.
"Thank you." Moka said as she allowed herself to remain in her arms for a few moments more.
\/^^^^\/
Gin was getting pretty scared for his girlfriend as he looked around. She had just exposed herself to the world on live tv. Even though Gin new that if she didn't do that, Yukari's mom would die. Her selfless act made him proud of her but it also scared him because of the possible repercussions it would likely bring from both the humans as well as the yokai realms overseeing authority. Best case scenario the yokai realm deems it excusable due to dire circumstances, and they only have to worry about the humans. Worst case scenario is their yanked out of the human world, tried for disobeying the law and handed some sort of sentence while the seaside inn becomes helpless from hateful humans attacking.
"Not good, Oh this is so not good… wait… is that Yukari and her dad?" Gin says nervously to himself.
Sans song finishes as Gin watches Yukari and her father race past him to throw their arms around Fujiko. He then looks back toward the Inn as San lands next to him, seeing a Swat team as well as several Imperial guard vehicles pulling into the mostly empty parking lot. Gin then transforms into his werewolf form, spreading his arms defensively to protect San and the witches behind him. Growling out a warning before he notices Tsukune walking up to them shaking his head with a wide smile.
"Tsukune?" Gin asked in his gruff werewolf voice.
"Relax Gin. The swat team and imperial guard are not here to harm anyone. There here to protect you and provide security for the Prime Minister, who's on his way here now along with news teams from every agency. Including monster vision tv. So you might want to go back inside and change before they get here." Tsukune said with a smirk.
"What? Why? The Prime Minister, coming here? Whats going on Tsukune?" Gin asked with a very confused look on his face that was matched by San who stood beside him now.
"In about 50 minutes the Yokai Rights Act will be signed into law! Right over there, on the deck of the seaside inn." Tsukune said with a huge smile.
Tsukune was loving the way his friends faces were morphing from confused to a happy shock. When he noticed the look on Fujiko's face, as she heard every word Tsukune had said to Gin and San. He nodded to her as both her husband and Yukari were confirming what she just heard. The three just froze for a few moments in stunned silence as Yukari told her mom that it's happening because of Tsukune and Moka's meeting with the Prime Minister in the Imperial Palace yesterday. Gin and San both hearing what Yukari said just blinked as their eyes remained locked on Tsukune as he started to scratch the back of his head. That was all it took for Gin as he launched himself at Tsukune, picking him up in a bear hug and howled as he twirled around excitably.
A few moments later Gin set Tsukune back down and returned to human form before racing back to the inn to change his clothes. Leaving Tsukune wiggling fingers in his ears to try to stop the ringing caused by all Gins howling, as San walked up and gave Tsukune a hug and a chaste kiss on his cheek before racing back to the inn herself. The Yukari pulled her wand out and used it to magically clean the clothes they had on after they got up. Before they joined Tsukune in walking back towards the inn.
\/^^^^\/
All across the monster realm word was spreading fast. That after Tsukune Aono and Moka Akashiya had a meeting with the Prime Minister yesterday. The Senate of Japan got to work and handed the Prime Minister of Japan a bill for The Yokai Rights Act that had everything Lord Aono had suggested in it. And that Lord Aono and the Prime Minister were going to sign it into law between 11:30am and 12:00pm that very morning at a live press conference that Monster Vision Tv was invited to attend. It would be the first news broadcast Monster Vision Tv was to do live from the human world.
Yokai all across the yokai realm gathered in front of their tv's. Opening homes for their neighbors that didn't have one. Businesses and restaurants turning on every tv they had so everyone could watch. Teachers at Yokai academy that were back from their break to get everything ready for when the students would return were huddled around the set in the break room. All around the realm from the old to the young were gathered to watch the live broadcast. Smiling and full of good cheer as this meant the humans were done debating and there was going to be peace instead of war. There was sure to be a huge celebration throughout the realm after the conference and signing of the bill. Hopefully there won't be too much damage done within the villages as they celebrate.
\/^^^^\/
It was about 11:15am by the time all the news teams were set up for the conference. With one team getting a lot of startled and confused looks as their equipment was quite strange looking. The camera was an eye the size of a basketball with two large ears, one on either side of the eye. Sitting on a swiveling tripod made of bones with Monster Vision Tv written in purple letters over a puke green background. No one stood behind it while the camera seemed to follow an energetic reporter that was pacing in front of it with a big grin on her face. She was soon approached by a reporter, who's team was set up next to hers on her right.
"Hello, I'm Brian Jone's, American journalist assigned with NBC Japan. I noticed that your equipment says monster vision tv. Does that mean your a journalist from the yokai realm?" Brian asked the excited and very attractive reporter.
"Why yes, yes I am!" The reporter answered practically bouncing on her feet.
"Well you seem quite excited to be here. Is this your first time reporting from the human world Ms. ?" Brian asked her.
"That's because I am excited. This is a historic day for us, we've never been able to do a live broadcast from the human world before. Oh and I'm so sorry, in my excitement I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Sara, Sara Brightfire of M.V.T. news." Sara said smiling.
"Well then let me be the first to welcome you and your station Ms. Brightfire, I look forward to hopefully seeing you and your associates at more news events." Brian said warmly.
"On behalf of myself and everyone at monster vision tv, I'd like to thank you for your warm welcome Mr. Jones." Sara said
"You're very welcome. Maybe someday I can do a joint report with your station from within the yokai realm. Hopefully even get to interview one of your Dark Lords." Brian said.
"I think that could be arranged. Let me go ask Lord Aono, back in a jiff." Sara said before heading off to where a group of teens were hanging out with some adults and Lord Shuzen.
Brian recognized several of them from a news report just a few days ago. Where the yokai terrorist group Fairy Tail had attacked and only managed to destroy a single home and only slightly damage the one next to it before the attack force was wiped out. He was a little shocked when he noticed Sara stop and kneel before one of the teens instead of one of the adults. The teen quickly looking over in his direction before looking back at Sara with a warm smile as he replied to her query. A moment later and Sara was on her way back with a big smile on her face.
"Well he's even upped your request, though we'll need to get permission from our employers and sign a waiver. While there will be protection provided for your safety, he wants me personally to escort you for a few days through a few of our villages as well as yokai academy so you can record a mini documentary, ending with an interview with Lord Aono and dinner at Vlad's Impaled Delights in the vampire village of Lord Shuzen. You'll also get to interview several of the teachers at yokai academy, a few of the village leaders and Lord Shuzen as well." Sara said with a bright smile
"That's beyond...wow. That's more than I even dreamed. It's going to make my carrier. I can't begin to thank you enough." Brian said with an excited shocked look on his face.
"Excellent. After this news conference I'll introduce you so you can exchange some contact information." Sara said before adding "Is that the Prime Minister showing up?"
"Huh? Oh yes it is and I'll most definitely look forward to meeting him after this conference." Brian said before he began to move back over to where his team was standing.
They were all smiling wide and doing a few fist pumps and high fives as he returned. The station had been broadcasting the whole thing and called the crew to relay to Brian that he and his team had permission to go. The stations managers knew the ratings such a mini-documentary would bring were to high to ignore. Likewise Sara's manager called her phone and was pretty much saying the same thing to her. As they all waited for the Prime Minister to finish shaking hands with the Aono's party, on his way to the podium set up for the conference.
