"Okay everyone. Same as always. Guys first."
Ms. Hitori twisted the bracelet, causing the magical doorway to open. Sabaku walked through the portal into the Headmaster's closet first. Due to the time difference, Mr. Maruyama waited several seconds to allow Sabaku to get clear before following. Kitajima and Koike lined up behind the massive teacher.
"I don't know how everyone else feels, but I'm going home to sleep. If I don't make it to school today, look for me in my dorm room."
Hotaru chuckled, nodding at Nagisa's sentiment.
"I doubt I'll skip the whole day, but don't expect me before lunch."
"It would have been nice to at least have our sleeping bags."
Kurumu wholeheartedly agreed with Hikari. This whole training session had been rough. It felt like she had spent half of it blacked out from Ms. Kiyomizu's attacks while the rest of the time she had worried over the absence of a third of the girls.
"I hope nothing happened to Moka and Yukari."
Kokoa huffed while having an arm draped over Ishiko.
"You need to be more worried about yourself."
"There are people after Moka. What if Yoshii captured her?"
"Don't put everyone into a panic again, Ms. Kurono."
Kurumu pouted at Ms. Kiyomizu as they moved closer to the door. Tsukune glanced back at her, offering a smile before he stepped through. Umizake would be next with Ms. Kiyomizu and Mizore after him.
"I am worried about my sister and the other girls."
"Look for after change."
Kumiko shook her head at Deshi as Umizake stepped through the doorway.
"No. I'll go straight to her suite first."
"Fine. Live by Tora. Check on her."
"Could you also check on Satsuki? She's in 508."
Deshi nodded at Kurumu, flipping her staff down from her shoulders to hold at her side.
"Sure, sure."
Tokori sighed as Ms. Kiyomizu crossed over into the closet. She settled in line behind Deshi while Kumiko waited for Mizore to go.
"I thought Ms. Toujou said that Ms. Sendou was in the school."
"There was never a guarantee that the brat was with my sister."
"But my sister would have still come."
"You girls need to stop worrying. There are many possible reasons why the others didn't join us."
Kumiko scowled, passing through the doorway. Deshi waited a long moment before following.
"I know I wouldn't mind taking a day off from training."
"Your performance today was pathetic, Ms. Antai."
Chuckling, Tokori entered the Headmaster's closet. Pouting, Hotaru hesitated at the doorway with Hikari lingering behind her. After both girls departed, Kokoa let out a sigh.
"I'm serious about this, Kurumu. I want you to see a doctor."
"I don't have time for that."
"It wasn't just me this time."
Kurumu grimaced, aware of Kokoa's concerns as Ishiko stepped out of this dimension.
"It was just an illusion."
"An interactive illusion of your mother. We talked with her."
"You can talk in the closet, girls. Get moving."
Kokoa nodded, crossing through the portal. Kurumu approached the gateway with Nagisa beside her.
"It was just a dream. There's nothing wrong with me."
"She's worried about your heart."
Kurumu knew that as she passed over the threshold. Most of the girls had already moved into the bathroom with Ms. Kiyomizu. Tokori was topless and trying to free herself of her bottoms. Kokoa was kneeling in a corner by the bags of their stuff, handing some clothes up to Ishiko.
"I'm surprised your girls are still bringing their pajamas to these sessions."
Kokoa huffed as she grabbed a bag and chucked it at Kurumu. Kurumu caught it reflexively.
"I don't tell them what to wear."
Kurumu dropped the bag aside, grabbing the hem of her top and tugged it up. Nagisa entered the closet right before Kurumu pulled her clingy garment over her head. She rolled the fabric down her arms as Nagisa pranced over to Kokoa's side.
"I'll take my clothes."
Kokoa huffed, starting to disrobe.
"Get them yourself."
Giggling, Nagisa elected to start stripping instead. Before either girl had their top off, Ms. Hitori crossed into the small room, closing the portal behind her.
"I'll go ask the Headmaster it he has any news about the others. Hurry up and get changed."
The moment the teacher left the room, Tokori let out a heavy sigh. She adjusted her breasts in the cups of her bland, beige bra. Her matching briefs were as plain as the lingerie Kurumu hated to wear.
"I'm all for taking a day off."
Kurumu chuckled as she slithered out of her bottoms.
"I think all of us are. I'm considering taking a shower in the locker room."
"It's sad that a shower sounds like an awesome idea to me."
"I'm starving."
Kurumu huffed at Kokoa as she wadded up her soiled garments.
"I'm not making you breakfast. If you want to eat, you can hit up the dining hall with your friends."
"How dare you talk to your master like that?"
Nagisa giggled as she rolled down her bottoms almost in unison with Kokoa.
"Assuming we even go to breakfast. I might shower and crash."
Kurumu fished her cornflower blue, lacy bra out of the plastic bag she had intended to stuff into Yukari's pocket dimension last night. She slipped her arms through the straps before hooking the front clasps. After fixing her breasts in the cups, she rummaged through the bag again for her sky blue boyshorts with the white cloud pattern. Stepping through the holes, she pulled the soft fabric up her legs and fixed the hem about her waist.
"I wonder if we could take a picture of your mother. I know she was an illusion, but Ms. Meirowasa and Ms. Hitori both saw it too."
Kurumu frowned at Nagisa while slipping into her blouse.
"I don't think I can fool cameras. Illusions are extensions of my charm. Tricks I play on the brain."
"You were unconscious, Ms. Kurono. It's not like we were all under hypnosis."
"It was kind of cool. It was like she genuinely met me for the first time."
Kurumu smiled at Tokori's remark, fastening her blouse buttons. The monstrel squeezed into her tight skirt while Nagisa pulled on a pair of crimson shorts to go with her peach, spaghetti string tank top. Ishiko wandered off into the next room, already dressed in her black tee and pink shorts.
"I'd have to ask Yukari what she thinks about it."
Kokoa had on the baby blue lingerie set she had picked up this weekend.
"I don't care about your little trip to China. You need to see Mother about that operation."
"If you want that operation, have her come read my future before winter break. I'm not abandoning Mizore for something I might not survive."
"You are my servant and will do what I ask."
Kurumu snorted stepping into her skirt and tugging it up around her hips. Tokori zipped up her fancy PSC jacket and walked out of the room.
"You and your girls should come with us to China."
Nagisa giggled, drifting over to the bathroom door.
"I can't be blowing off my family for another school break. I'll see you tomorrow."
"You better not skip the whole school day."
As the giggling undine departed, Kurumu pulled on her sweater vest. Kokoa slung on her blouse and started to button up while Kurumu fished out her socks to put them on.
"Did you write to your mother this week?"
"I should. I need money if I want to get Chinese dresses for Nagisa and Ishiko."
"What's the point of getting those dresses if you're not coming to China with us?"
"I can go to China another time, Kurumu. Maybe spring break."
Wadding up the plastic bag in her fist, she wandered about the room and collected up the discarded garments of the other girls. She piled them all up in her arms as Kokoa fixed up her skirt.
Kurumu strolled into the bathroom, dumping the soiled garments on top of the washing machine. She turned about and reached down to grab the strap of her schoolbag which was resting against the wall. Yanking the strap over her head, she let the bag hang by its strap across her body.
Before she could fish her phone out of her bag to check the time, the door to the bedroom opened. Ms. Hitori strolled inside, bending over to grab her bag of belongings resting in the tub.
"The Headmaster wants to talk to you two about the missing others."
"Does he know what happened?"
Ms. Hitori nodded before tugging her top up and over her breasts.
"Some nonsense he wants you kids to handle. He says it's not life threatening."
Kurumu mulled that over as she pulled her phone out of her schoolbag. It was still about fifteen minutes before seven. She dropped her phone back into her bag.
"Hurry up, Kokoa. Sounds like the Headmaster wants us to do something stupid."
Ms. Hitori snickered, shaking her head as she rolled her bottoms down her thighs. Kurumu stalked off, passing through the open door into the bedroom. The teacher had also left the door to the office open, meaning anyone could see her naked if they were in the right spot.
"Kurumu! It sounds like Moka has been taken hostage!"
Kurumu tensed up at Tsukune's frantic greeting. He stood near the Headmaster's desk, wearing a black tee and shorts. The mint green shorts had a crimson Yokai Academy logo etched on the right thigh.
"I haven't said that, Mr. Aono. I said that it is unlikely that she is there by her own desires."
Kurumu frowned at the amused Headmaster as she approached the few that were still present. The tall Umizake was sporting a dark blue tee shirt with black sleeves and a loose pair of black sweatpants. He had probably stayed behind to walk with Tsukune back to the dorms.
Mizore was likely unaware of how unintentionally provocative her choice of attire was. The snow girl had on that silky camisole and matching short which was a paler white than her fair skin. The rich color of her perky nipples was impossible to overlook, drawing attention to the swell of her bosom.
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"It means that Ms. Akashiya and your other friends have taken leave of their senses. They are holed up in the practice gym, having spent the entire night there."
"Why haven't you done something about it?"
The Headmaster chuckled, pressing his elbows to the desk as he intertwined his fingers.
"I felt it would be a good test of your training."
Kurumu frowned, toying with the strap of her schoolbag.
"Where did everyone else go?"
"They went home to change."
"They might have stuck around if the Headmaster had told us the whole story up front."
"Calm down, Mr. Aono. No lives are in danger here. I think your remaining group is quite capable of dealing with one young man abusing his talents."
"Are we staging a rescue?!"
Kurumu shivered from the excitement in Kokoa's voice. She turned a smile upon the vampire as the girl bounded over to her side. Like Kurumu, she was sporting the sweater vest and had her schoolbag draped across her torso.
"Sounds that way. Moka and the others are being held hostage in the practice gym."
"Can you tell us the name of our opponent?"
The Headmaster chuckled, shaking his head beneath his white cowl.
"That is up to you to discover, Mr. Umizake. I have given you enough details."
"It's simple. We charge into the practice gym and take these bad guys down."
"But it's just one guy, right?"
"Correct, Mr. Aono."
"Aw man. That doesn't even sound like a challenge."
"Don't forget that this one guy apparently handled Ms. Akashiya and Ms. Sendou."
Kokoa huffed, crossing her arms below her bosom.
"He had the element of surprise."
"And that allowed him to overcome the four ladies we sent looking for Ms. Sendou? There's clearly something else going on here."
Kurumu nodded, agreeing with Umizake's conclusion.
"It's probably something to do with his true form that allows him to handle multiple foes at once."
"So what? The practice gym has multiple points of entry. If we hit those at the same time, there's no way one guy can win."
The Headmaster chuckled darkly.
"I'm interested in seeing how this plays out. I suggest you get on with it."
"Right! I'll show you the power of a vampire!"
Kokoa stalked off with enthusiasm, prompting them to follow.
"Hold up, Kokoa. This isn't something to take lightly."
"The Headmaster is giving us a chance to prove ourselves. You should be grateful."
Kurumu pouted as they exited the chamber. They strode quickly across the hall towards the stairs.
"Yes. But he didn't say we had to do it by ourselves."
Umizake effortlessly caught up to them, heading down the stairs first.
"I agree. We can wait in the lobby for Mr. Sabaku's return to inform him about the situation."
"Yea, Kokoa. And I'm sure you want to see how well your girls perform."
Kokoa huffed as they reached the landing and turned about to head down the second flight.
"I don't know if my girls are even coming back. Do you want my sister rescued or not?"
Kurumu pouted, not having a response to that. They arrived on the second floor with Umizake already making his way to the grand stair.
"Kurono!"
Peering over the railing, Kurumu spied Tokori down by the door to the teachers' lounge. It was crazy how much older she looked while wearing that PSC outfit. It had to be the skirt.
"What does she want?"
"We have to go downstairs anyways, so we might as well found out."
Kokoa sighed, following after Umizake. Kurumu smiled back at Tsukune and Mizore. The two looked like they had just gotten out of bed. Together.
"Maybe you two should go home and change."
"I can't do that while Moka is in trouble."
Kurumu worried what people might say if they saw these two like this. Unable to voice her complaints, she shook her head and started down the winding stairs.
"What is the issue, Ms. Meirowasa?"
Tokori shrugged as Umizake approached her. She thumbed at the door to the lounge.
"Don't know but Ms. Kiyomizu told me to stay put."
"Good. I need to tell her more about the situation the Headmaster informed us about."
Umizake stalked by Tokori, opening the lounge door.
"What exactly did you do?"
"I swear I'm innocent. I don't know anything."
Kurumu perked up at Ginei's voice, hurrying down the remaining stairs.
"It has to be something you did."
"I swear it can't be, Ms. Nekonome. I've been much better behaved since summer break."
Kurumu waved for Tokori to join her as she hurried into the lounge. Ginei was standing in the far aisle, shaking his head vigorously. Dressed for school, he was being confronted by a frustrated Ms. Nekonome. Their teacher was sporting a white, short sleeved vest over a peach blouse tucked in black slacks.
"What other reason would there be for four girls from your club to put in withdrawal requests?"
"Don't judge him yet. I've got three withdrawal requests on my own desk."
Kurumu glanced down the first aisle at the sound of Ms. Kiyomizu's voice. Dressed in a dark blue blouse and black capris, the teacher wagged three slips of paper as Umizake approached her.
"Surprising, right?"
Kurumu flinched at the familiar voice. She had failed to notice Tashikana standing near the door beside Mrs. Senda whom was wearing a long sleeved pinstripe blouse and black pencil skirt.
"What the hell are you doing here?"
"Ginei dragged me out of bed because he had big news about a family getting murdered in Mononoke that he wanted me to talk about in the morning announcements. And then we got jumped the moment we walked through the door because our teachers had big news of their own."
"Don't look at me. I didn't have anybody quit our club. I'm just here with Ms. Nekonome to have the Headmaster authorize our weekend trip to the human world."
"Whom exactly quit our club?"
Ms. Nekonome sighed heavily at Tsukune's inquiry. She held up four papers.
"I found withdrawal requests made by Ms. Zukkutani, Ms. Akashiya, Ms. Sendou and Ms. Nazohashi on my desk this morning."
"Yes. And Ms. Nazohashi has also withdrawn from the PSC along with Ms. Unari and Ms. Hineri Keito. There is clearly something else going on."
Kurumu was too astonished by the revelation to comprehend the list at first.
"That can't be right. Lady Hineri can't quit the club she is the leader of. There has to be a mistake."
"Other than Ms. Zukkutani, the others are all known hostages."
"Hostages?!"
Umizake's statement shocked her out of her stupor.
"That's right! The Headmaster told us about some guy that has them all held against their will in the practice gym. He was asking us to save them."
"Maybe she quit the club before she was kidnapped."
Kurumu scowled at Mizore.
"No way! Clearly this guy made them quit their clubs!"
"How?"
Kurumu balked at that simple question as Ginei and Ms. Nekonome came over to join them.
"Maybe they were threatened?"
"That's just pathetic, Aono. To think my sister could be intimidated into leaving your stupid club."
"Forgeries then."
"I'm afraid not, Ms. Kurono. The three forms I have are clearly made by different people."
"Bring me the one by Ms. Nazohashi."
Ms. Kiyomizu nodded, walking up the aisle under Ms. Nekonome's prompting.
"I told you it has nothing to do with me. We need to rescue these girls."
"Count me in. I can't sit by and do nothing if Lady Hineri is in danger."
"Sounds like an adventure!"
Kurumu shuddered at the sound of Huang's voice. The boy darted over to join them as his sister strolled into the room with her usual smirk. Both were dressed in their usual attire which had Kurumu wonder if they owned any other outfits.
"What are you? A cockroach?"
Huang laughed merrily at Kokoa's disgust.
"Of course not. I'm a Yasha."
"We don't have time for your nonsense, Huang."
"Don't send him away just yet. We might need numbers for this."
Kokoa laughed, smacking her fist in her palm.
"I'm more than enough to deal with this. It's one guy with a bunch of hostages."
"It might be more complicated than that, Ms. Shuzen."
Ms. Kiyomizu handed over the withdrawal requests to Ms. Nekonome. The teacher sighed, nodding.
"That's what I expected. This is clearly Ms. Nazohashi's writing on both forms."
Ginei clapped his hands sharply.
"Okay. Here's what I understand. We got some guy in the practice gym that can make his hostages write withdrawal requests. Either he is extremely good at making forgeries, or he has some way of making people do what he wants."
Kurumu's eyes widened as a thought crossed her mind.
"Odayakana!"
"The Sadou Club president?"
"No! The chemistry club president. He admitted that he could make a gas capable of controlling minds."
"Does this mean we'd be fighting the hostages?"
Kurumu's eyes widened at Umizake's calm inquiry.
"Maybe so. Do we have a list of hostages?"
"No. The Headmaster didn't say much about what we would be facing."
Ginei sighed at the answer to his query. He stroked his chin thoughtfully.
"Do we have anyone here with wind powers? We could blow this gas away."
"There's no guarantee Hotaru will be back soon or that Kurumu is right. We bust in, hold our breath and take this guy down."
"I like your enthusiasm, little sister, but we could be up against multiple opponents here."
"I can handle my sister in her wimpy form."
"Allow me to handle Ms. Sendou. I'm sure when she sees my manly presence, her mind shall overcome the evil influence and join our efforts."
"She's more likely to strike you dead on the spot."
"We could focus on grabbing our assailants."
Ginei perked up at Umizake's suggestion.
"Elaborate."
"We grab whomever we first encounter and drag them off. We will need someone capable of cleansing their system of the drug. Then we repeat the process until there's nobody left."
"I'll grab Lady Hineri."
"No can do, Tashikana. I need you making that broadcast about the situation in Mononoke and in the practice gym. We can't have anybody stumbling into the gym and making things worse."
"Out of curiosity, what is the situation in Mononoke?"
"Some family got slaughtered when I was checking out places with Miya."
"You took Zanzou with you?"
"She can get into places without breaking stuff. We first hit up admissions to get a list of every local kid that has attended Yokai Academy in the past five years."
"Am I to understand that you broke into the admissions office?"
Ginei chuckled at the frowns the teachers favored him.
"Technically we didn't. But we can't be taking chances. Nobody would have suspected that Ms. Dokugo and Ms. Tensai were involved with Yoshii."
"That information is confidential, Mr. Morioka. Kuyo tried for years to get his hands on that. How did you manage to bypass our security in there?"
"It's Miya. She can get her hands on anything."
"I suppose we are fortunate that Kuyo never recruited any shades to his cause."
"Which family got killed?"
Ginei paused, regarding Tokori's concerned expression.
"The Nakayama family. Their son graduated a couple of years ago."
As Tokori nodded, Kurumu frowned.
"Why is that name familiar?"
Tokori managed a smile.
"That's the young man Ms. Ishigami was dating."
"Back to the matter at hand, there is one issue with your plan. You're assuming that we can grab one person at a time. That might not be possible."
Umizake nodded impassively.
"I'm aware of this. I think we should wait for more people and someone with control of the wind."
"It's one guy. If we break through and take him out, it won't matter if he's controlling everyone else."
"I like your enthusiasm but it won't do us any good."
"We can hit multiple doors at the same time."
"I suppose that could work. The practice gym has four entrances so we'd need at least four people."
"Allow me to lend my assistance."
"Sure thing, kid. I'll watch you and little sister charge in and see how that goes from a safe distance."
"Coward."
Ginei chuckled at Kokoa.
"You're right. I'd never live it down if you succeed. We'll need a fourth."
"I'll do it."
"You can't. It has to be the Voice giving the announcements today."
"I guess. But you have to promise me that you get Lady Hineri out safely."
"It didn't sound like anyone was in serious danger here. That's why the Headmaster asked us to deal with it instead of the faculty."
"That is promising. I will notify the rest of the faculty to stay clear of the practice gym for now."
"Thanks, Ms. Nekonome. I still need one more person to take that fourth door."
"I can do it."
Ginei laughed at Tsukune's firm declaration.
"No way. If this is some hypnotic drug, the last thing we need is you running berserk."
"I concur. Mr. Aono should stay back and wait for Mr. Sabaku and the other PSC members."
Kurumu sighed in the pause that followed, doubting any of these others would step up to the task.
"Fine. I can be your fourth."
"That might be as bad as Tsukune."
"If it's mind control, I might be immune to it."
"True. But if you're not, you might turn around and charm the whole school while under someone else's command. That might be worse."
"Ginei. We're already talking about a mind controlling gas. He could have the whole school under his control without my help."
"Fair point. You four come with us and see what happens. If we do fail, that information might be useful for Sabaku."
"Be careful, Mr. Morioka."
Ginei chuckled at Ms. Nekonome.
"I always am."
They exited the lounge at a brisk pace. Kurumu pulled her strap up over her head and presented it to Tsukune as they made their way out of the main foyer.
"Here. Hold this for me."
Mizore snatched it away before Tsukune could take it. Tsukune laughed apologetically as Kurumu turned a smirk upon the snow girl.
"That works too. Kokoa. Hand off your schoolbag."
As they entered the second year hallway, Kokoa gave her schoolbag to Umizake. They walked steadily down the corridor, passing by the empty classrooms. It was still too early for most students to be at school. With any luck, they might have this resolved before anybody became aware of the issue.
"Ginei. Was that family killed by Yoshii?"
"There's no way of knowing that. But it sounds like Mr. Nakayama was last seen alive on Friday. Miya freaked out when she discovered their bodies."
Ginei sighed heavily, shaking his head.
"And I fucked up. I probably shouldn't have reported it immediately to the neighbors. We should have kept quiet and monitored the place to see if Yoshii was using their home as a base of operations."
"It's okay. I doubt I would have thought to do that."
Ginei chuckled as they passed by the home economics room.
"I'm going to tease Miya so much about the manly way she handled the situation last night."
"I'm surprised you haven't already."
"She wasn't in a condition to appreciate it."
Kurumu tensed up as they neared the end of the corridor.
"Who gets which doorways?"
"The little sister can take the auditorium door closest to the exterior. The foreign kid will take the other auditorium door while you take the cafeteria door closest to his."
"Any particular reason for that?"
"My guess is he will have guards stationed at three points. I know the little sister is fast and I can handle my own. You might need the kid's help so use him as a distraction."
Huang frowned as they turned to the right into the hallway flanking the cafeteria.
"I can do more than that, Mr. Morioka."
"I want the rest of you to stay out of sight. We know that the mind controlled can walk all the way to the teachers' lounge to put in withdrawal requests. If they come after you, be ready to run."
They entered the cafeteria which presently had all the tables folded up and pushed to the walls.
"Well I'm heading to the locker room to take a shower. I'll watch the two enter from the auditorium."
"I'll join you then."
"Not in the shower."
Umizake smirked at Tokori, offering no response. Ginei chuckled, turning and wagging his hand.
"You two can stay back there."
"Okay. I won't let you down."
Kurumu shivered as she walked across the cafeteria with the others. Ginei veered off for the first door, favoring her a grin. The rest of them continued on to the door leading into the auditorium which was dangerously close to the door leading into the practice gym.
"Remember we all want to go in at about the same time."
Kurumu nodded, hoping whomever was watching these doors was not listening closely. She slowed her step, allowing the other four to exit into the auditorium. She took a deep breath, easing closer to the door she was to enter.
Remembering the gas, she covered her mouth. She heard a soft chuckle, favoring Ginei a pout. He grinned, reaching forward to place his hand on the door. Wanting to be as close in unison as possible, Kurumu lowered her hand to touch the door.
"Let's go!"
Kokoa's battle cry was the perfect signal. Kurumu threw her door open instantly but hesitated upon the sight before. Several boys barred her path, all dressed in their gym clothes. They apprehended Huang almost immediately.
"Don't let me sacrifice be in vain!"
Kurumu snapped out of it, charging in but immediately bumping against the huge chest. She peered up at the massive Kuromuro from the soccer team whom hauled her up off her feet instantly.
Ginei had been correct about the three guard points. From her new higher vantage, she spied Kokoa had been captured by a trio of familiar guys accompanied by a naked Rubi. The witch had her head bowed in apology as the trio hauled the limp girl up onto their shoulders. The buxom and nude Ms. Idatsu was directing Tsuiseki and his two friends, Borohata and Hatsura, whom were on the baseball team.
"There, there. Be still."
Kurumu's eyes widened from a familiar voice. Ginei was wrapped up in the massive tits of Garakuta. The girl was naked, but it was not her voice which had alarmed Kurumu. The other nude girl pressing against Ginei's back had her golden white locks styled in a spiral princess braid.
"Go to sleep."
Kurumu writhed, her thoughts demanding her captor to put her down. That was Hitsuji Ryomi. The girl could put anyone to sleep.
"Don't let Ms. Kurono get away!"
Kurumu shivered as another familiar voice called out from the depths of the gym. She was grabbed once again. In terror she looked up into the periwinkles eyes of her blond captor. It was Amesuki's brother.
"Come with me, Ms. Kurono."
She shook her head as he tugged her forward. She had to escape. He would want her to escape.
"Bring her to me."
While Amesuki's brother staggered under conflicting commands, Kurumu freaked out when she saw the younger Hitsuji sister pressing against Huang whom was being held firmly by Arukage from the rugby team. The small girl was as naked as her sister, causing Huang to pass out instantly. Judging by how flush he looked, it might not have been her powers that had did the trick.
"Don't hesitate, Mr. Amesuki. Surely you want her to be part of our kingdom."
Kyuushutsu Tokei had gone mad.
Kurumu groaned, feeling the cool floor against her skin. The dull sounds of whimpering and moaning teased from the edges of her consciousness. Her arms felt uncomfortable and her head ached. She tried to move her hands, jerking up onto her knees when she realized she could not.
She was naked in a dimly lit chamber. Her hands were bound behind her back with a pair of metal cuffs held together by a short chain. She looked about frantically, noting she was in some sort of storage room filled with athletic equipment. Four other girls were bound in a similar fashion and pressed up against the door, begging to be let out and promising to behave.
Kurumu had no clue whom the girl with the chestnut locks held up in long, butt length twin tails was, but she recognized Sonoda Kamoko with the black layered tresses touching down to her shoulders.
"Please, Haiji. I'll be good."
"Miyamoto. Be kind to us."
"We only want a baby."
The last speaker had short raven locks styled in a feathered pixie cut. Kurumu had seen her at Sports Day.
"Don't listen to these girls, Mr. Miyamoto. You'd definitely prefer a more mature woman. Let me finish pleasing that cock of yours."
"Ms. Sano!"
The manga club advisor whom had taken over the art elective after Ms. Ishigami's dismissal turned her charming eyes upon Kurumu. Her powder blue locks fashioned in a bob cut favored the side of her pink eye while her other was a lovely hazel.
"Oh. You're awake, Ms. Kurono. Could you talk some sense into Mr. Miyamoto?"
"We only want his seed."
"No! He's mine! I've known Haiji forever."
"You can share."
"Greedy girl. We can all have his babies."
"No! Don't make him do that, Ms. Kurono."
Kurumu laughed despite the situation. Shaking her head, she staggered upright.
"I'm not going to make anybody do anything."
"Haiji. Hold me. I promise that will be enough."
"Don't lie. You'll try to take his cock out again."
"That was you!"
"No, you!"
Sonoda and the chestnut haired girl started bumping against each other, unable to do much else.
"Move aside. I'll convince them to open the door."
Kurumu smiled as the girls created a space at the door for her. She leaned her head upon it, wondering how long she had been out.
"Hello. I'd like to be released."
"That does sound like Ms. Kurono this time. You're getting better at it, Kami."
Kurumu laughed, throwing a glance at Sonoda. The girl meekly shrugged.
"I had to try."
"It's me, Miyamoto. Now let me out."
"Not falling for that again."
Kurumu sighed, closing her eyes. This time she poured her charm into it.
"Let me out, Miyamoto."
Seconds later there was a click. The door was drawn aside and the four harpies shoved Kurumu down in their haste to escape. Sonoda spilled over Kurumu's back as the other girls hopped free.
"The harpies are loose!"
"Put those bitches back in the horny jail!"
Laughing boys rushed in to accost the escapees whom were already rubbing their bodies against a dazed Miyamoto. Sonoda rolled off Kurumu, trying to get up as Tsuiseki grabbed the chestnut haired girl and hauled her off her feet. Borohata and Hatsura pulled Ms. Sano and the pixie haired girl off Miyamoto whom had slumped down into a seated position against the door.
Kurumu crawled up on her knees while a whimpering Sonoda did the same. They scooted out of the way as the boys carried the other three shrieking harpies back into the room.
"You too, Ms. Sonoda."
Sonoda peered up at Amesuki and pouted.
"Please. I'll behave."
Amesuki sighed heavily, reaching down to grab the girl by the upper arm. He helped the girl up onto her feet, stepping around Kurumu to tug the harpy with him.
"Not while Mr. Miyamoto is charmed by Ms. Kurono. We'll see what he says afterwards."
Sonoda whined as she was guided back into the storage room. Borohata and Hatsura rushed back out, wagging their fingers at the ladies within.
"Back you naughty bitches!"
"Such language, Mr. Hatsura. Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?"
"I don't want to hear that from a teacher that was sucking a student's cock."
The girls giggled as Tsuiseki slipped out of the room. He slammed the door back into place and Borohata secured the top and bottom locks. The trio let out a sigh of relief, backing away from the door.
"I hope you weren't promising anything to those girls. They nearly raped Mr. Miyamoto last night."
Kurumu pouted at Amesuki whom remained by her side. He was not looking at her.
"I only asked him to open the door."
"Haiji. Please let me cuddle with you."
Miyamoto shook his head slowly. On the floor beside him was a box full of shackles.
"I can't Kami. I can't look at you right now."
"Am I ugly?"
"I'm prettier than her."
"I'll make better babies."
"Stop it! Leave my Haiji alone!"
The girls beyond the door started to bicker with the door protesting the struggle. The trio of boys chuckled, heading back to their post.
"Swear it's been like that all night."
"You're a lucky man, Miyamoto."
"I'll never be able to see Kami the same way."
"Is Ms. Kurono awake?"
Kyuushutsu's voice demanded her attention. He was seated upon a makeshift throne facing the entrances. It looked like they had grabbed several desks and stacked mats on top of them. Four more desks were placed on this with another layer of mats. On the top level was a thick, wooden chair upon which Kyuushutsu sat. He was peering around the chair at her with an amused expression upon his delicate features. His inky black bangs swept over his eyes.
There were two naked girls up on the throne with him. The dingy white haired Gawauchi was leaning on the arm of the throne, glancing over her shoulder back at Kurumu. The dark haired Lady Hineri stood on the other side with her hands resting on the back of the chair.
"She is, Mr. Kyuushutsu."
"Then bring her to me."
"I'll need a moment to prepare myself."
Kyuushutsu chuckled along with the giggles of several girls. There had to be more girls up on that throne with him. There were also a few naked girls on the lower level. Endo cuddled with her dark haired friend, Matsuri. Their chubby pigtailed companion, Sugimoto, leaned against the desks forming the upper tier.
"Take your time."
Amesuki let out a heavy breath. He timidly touched Kurumu's shoulder.
"Do you need help getting up?"
Kurumu smiled at his soft touch. He was still not looking at her.
"You were much more assertive with Sonoda."
"Ms. Sonoda has no interest in me nor I in her. I can somewhat ignore her state of undress."
"I wish I could."
"I do not envy you, Mr. Miyamoto. I would probably lose my sanity if a childhood friend of mine pushed so hard for such an intimate thing."
Kurumu shook her head, regarding the box of shackles.
"Where did you get all these chains from?"
"The drama club had them in their storage room. Mr. Kutsurogo knew where they were since the club used them in their play last year."
"You can help me up now."
Amesuki laughed nervously, slipping his hand down to grip her upper arm firmly.
"Will this be fine?"
"Both arms would be better."
His desire for her increased pleasantly as he yielded to her suggestion. He released her arm and stepped behind her. He was admiring her from behind when his hands slipped under her arms. Lifting her up by her armpits, he eased her onto her feet.
"Good?"
It felt good. He wanted her and her body was responding. Not as desperately as it did for Tsukune, but it was there. This could work if she wanted it to. She leaned back against him as his hands timidly touched her shoulders. She could feel his desire in more ways than one.
"Ms. Kurono."
Perhaps encouraged by her thoughts, his hands reached around to cup her breasts firmly, squeezing them. She let out a soft moan, wanting to place her hands on his to curb his excitement. But bound behind her as they were, the only thing she could do with them was something she should not.
"Please stop."
He took in a deep breath, ceasing his fondling but leaving his hands in place.
"I'm sorry. You're gorgeous."
She bit her lip, wondering how she should respond.
"I'm cold."
Amesuki reluctantly withdrew his hands.
"I suppose we should not keep Mr. Kyuushutsu waiting."
He started walking towards the throne, prompting her to follow. The storage room was in the corner of the gym which was farthest away from the cafeteria and auditorium. In the nearest corner was a pile of clothing and schoolbags. The closest exit was the one that Kokoa had entered. Rubi and Ms. Idatsu were carrying on a conversation as if it was normal to be naked while in the presence of guys.
"Why are you helping him?"
He smiled warmly upon her. There was gentleness in his eyes.
"It's a utopia, Ms. Kurono. We will be happier helping him realize his dream."
Something felt off. It was more than a charm. Something deeper and dangerous.
The door Ginei had tried to come through was being guarded by a large, hulking brute almost the same size as Kuromuro. The dark haired guy stood beside another dark haired kid with his bangs swirled together in a point. Their third guy was Iwai Hideyoshi from the karate club. He looked almost skeletal and had his long, obsidian stresses swept back in multiple directions.
The older Hitsuji was cuddling with Garakuta a safe distance away from the trio. Of course, both girls were naked. At this point, Kurumu would be surprised to see any girls wearing clothes.
As they came around the throne, Kurumu saw another girl bound with her hands behind her back at the base of the structure. This tiny girl had long, teal tresses which reached the dimples in her slender back. A swath of her hair had been braided, hanging behind her right ear.
Two nude girls stood on either side of her. One was Yojoumoe with her raven curls brushing her bosom. The other was Karada with her chocolate hair styled in the right side bob with the left side ponytail. They turned warm smiles upon her approach, though the tiny girl trembled in fear.
"There you are."
Kyuushutsu grinned from atop his throne. He was wearing a glossy pair of black pants which matched the hair of the girl curled up in his lap. He was topless, ignoring the kisses Ine lavished upon his chest. The ebony haired beauty, Betsutama, rested at his feet with her cheek pressed to his calf.
"What do you think you're doing?"
"Establishing my kingdom."
Kurumu shook her head as she took note of the other girls lounging about the lower tier. Satsuki was curled up with Yochimaru and the youngest Kitamura sister. Kana and Iko were sprawled on their bellies, drawing something and giggling at each other. They all shared the same art class with Kyuushutsu.
Ms. Ishigami was also present, leaning against Kusou, a greenish brown haired girl from the kimono club. The little Yasumono was with them, having let her raven tresses down to pool upon the mat. The girl behind them was Ikeda, Amatsu's friend from the choir. The brunette was chatting with the caramel haired Imano from the track team.
"So. You charmed your entire homeroom, your poetry club and your art class."
"I have given them freedom."
Kurumu shook her head, glancing off to the left. Moka was snuggling with Yukari. Not far from them was Ginei whom was enduring his own cuddling. Akari and Tora were pressed close to him, rubbing their cheeks against his torso as he stared off with a vacant expression.
"You charmed teachers. There's no way the Headmaster is going to let this slide."
"The Headmaster paid us a visit last night. As long as I don't harm anyone, he won't oppose me."
Lady Hineri swatted the back of his head, pouting.
"You were rough with us."
"I wasn't prepared to receive guests, my dear. Since your unexpected visit, I have made arrangements to receive people with much less trouble."
Kurumu glanced over her shoulder, guessing the rest of the boys gathered at the doors were also from Kyuushutsu's homeroom. The younger Hitsuji napped apart from them. Huang sat near the girl, eyeing her with blatant longing.
"What happened to Kokoa?"
Kyuushutsu let out a dramatic sigh.
"Ms. Shuzen proves too stubborn to accept that women require male protection. My dear Ryomi put her back to sleep and tossed her in horny jail. I'm guessing she is still not awake."
Kurumu smirked, glancing in the direction of the storage room.
"She's going to break out of there."
"We have her gagged and hogtied, Ms. Kurono. I believe she's more secure than you are."
"Did you strip her too?"
"Me? No. I asked my people to do it. Mr. Miyamoto insisted upon having the honor."
Kurumu shook her head, doubting Miyamoto will be able to blame a charm to avoid Kokoa's wrath.
"And whom had the honor of taking off mine?"
"Ms. Akashiya. We had to put you in jail for your own safety. It seems you two have a closer relationship than I expected, and I can't allow any of my people to molest someone unconscious."
"How thoughtful of you."
"We are a lawful society, Ms. Kurono. Based on simple truths that I was able to make my people accept. I should thank you, Ms. Kurono. You truly opened my eyes."
"What did I do?"
"Oh come now. Do you think for one moment that you could have charmed me into believing that you were dating Mr. Aono?"
Kurumu shivered as her thoughts became frantic. How did this guy figure anything out? He was not in her gym period. He barely interacted with her at all. The popularity contest was the only time she had ever spoken with him.
"I lied to the whole school."
"I know you did."
"It was just rumors."
"Rumors that you told your own mother, Ms. Kurono?"
Kurumu's heart tightened. That was right. Kyuushutsu's mother had offered them a ride. Kurumu had tuned out so much of the conversation that she had no idea what they had talked about.
"I had to fool everyone."
"Nonsense, Ms. Kurono. You gave Ms. Shirasagi a new truth. And when I realized you could do that to one of my harpies, I had an epiphany. What if I told all of the girls of my art class that they would be much happier spending the night with me than any other plans they might have? Just give them a simple truth. Something harmless that my charm could never do without constantly being in their presence."
Kyuushutsu grinned wide.
"And they all came. Even both of the teachers. I had to rent one of the spare rooms because I couldn't accommodate so many girls in my dorm room."
Kurumu felt like she could cry. She shook her head.
"You have to stop this."
"I can't stop this. The world is truly mine now. As long as I'm not asking something that goes entirely against their nature, I can manipulate anyone to do anything. And I don't have to constantly do it. Just change their truths. Even you must agree that being naked is more natural than being clothed. We are born this way."
Kurumu staggered as she felt his mental assault. It was difficult to disagree with his logic.
"Maybe so. But other people wear clothes. We can't go out in public like this."
"Look at you. Resisting me on the basis of the opinions of ignorant masses."
"Leave her alone!"
Kyuushutsu laughed at the melodious cry.
"Don't talk back to him!"
"How dare you refuse him?!"
Both girls on either side of the small girl struck her with their hands. The girl whimpered as Kurumu finally realized whom she was. Yukawa Asahi, president of the poetry club.
"Have you finally decided to give me an answer?"
Yukawa sobbed, shaking her head.
"Please. Stop."
"Ms. Kurono would make a fine queen. Tell me to make her mine, and I shall set you free."
"You don't have to do this."
Kurumu snorted, wishing she could use her hands.
"I would refuse you too."
"And I would also object to that."
Kyuushutsu laughed at Amesuki's remark, petting Ine's glossy locks.
"I imagine Ms. Akashiya would also have issue with that choice. But I must present my love with every option for the sake of posterity."
"We're not lovers."
Kyuushutsu flinched as if struck. A pained expression crossed his face as the two girls about Yukawa laid into her again.
"Silence!"
"You stupid bitch!"
Kurumu shook her head. She wanted to make those two leave Yukawa alone, but suspected they would go right back to it with minimal encouragement from Kyuushutsu. She had to deal with him.
"What are you wanting from her?"
"I have given her the privilege of naming my queen."
"You can't blame her for being hesitant, Mr. Kyuushutsu. You threatened to mate with whomever she picks in front of her."
Kyuushutsu chuckled at Amesuki, petting the girl in his arms.
"That I did. I trust you girls won't be too upset if it's not one of you."
"We just want you to be happy."
Several girls gave similar sentiments, though some were blissfully unaware of their surroundings.
"Why don't you just charm her?"
Kyuushutsu scowled at Kurumu, shaking his head as several girls voiced their protests at the thought.
"How dare you? Of all people, you should know the emptiness of such a thing."
"I would never force Tsukune into picking my next boyfriend."
"But that love in your heart is his. It is his responsibility to tell you what to do with it."
"You're being irrational. I can't give my love for Tsukune to somebody else. It doesn't work that way. If I am to love someone else, it will be my love for them. Nobody can replace Tsukune."
"Admirable, Ms. Kurono. But my heart can't change without some direction. I'm asking you again, Asahi. Give me the name of the woman that you believe is most suitable to be at my side."
"I can't think of anybody, Tokei. I'm sorry. I can't."
Yukawa was promptly struck by the two girls about her.
"How dare you be familiar with him?!"
"Just pick me! Do you hate him so much that you'd force him to be alone?!"
"Calm down, ladies. Clearly we need to bring more women into our ranks. Eventually we will find a girl whom Asahi will give her blessing."
"She's not your mother."
Kyuushutsu laughed at Kurumu.
"I could never ask my mother to do this."
"I wonder how she would feel about you starting up a nudist cult. I'm sure she would be so disappointed in you abusing your powers for your own benefit."
"Don't pretend that you are any different."
"I didn't make a bunch of naked guys hang off me to feel better about being rejected."
Kyuushutsu shook his head while continuing to caress Ine.
"This is different, Ms. Kurono. I am not doing this to sate some carnal desire. No. That would be too easy. I have made these girls think of me more like a God. I'm more like a paternal figure than a sexual object."
"Can I remove the chains from Ms. Kurono?"
Kyuushutsu paused, regarding Amesuki cautiously.
"Will she behave if I do?"
"Well I'm not running out of here naked and I don't need my hands to use my charm."
"That would be futile, Ms. Kurono. Any charms you might make I can undo. And as I'm surrounded by naked women, I doubt the guys would ever seriously be able to oppose me."
Kurumu sighed heavily.
"What exactly do you want from me?"
"From you? Nothing. I simply don't want you causing trouble in my kingdom."
"Can she come over and join us?"
Moka smiled sweetly as she ran her fingers through Yukari's hair while the witch lavished kisses upon her bared breasts.
"I suppose I'll let you cuddle with your friends."
Kyuushutsu pulled a key from his side, presenting it to Lady Hineri. The senior smiled, taking it before leaving his side. She carefully sat down on the edge, scooting onto her feet upon the next level. The jorougumo daintily picked her way through the girls to the nearest ledge, hopping down to the floor.
"If you cause any sort of trouble, I will have you hogtied with your little friend."
"I will be on my best behavior."
Lady Hineri gingerly stepped over to them, offering the key to Amesuki.
"Be gentle with her when you put it in."
Kurumu smirked, feeling the surge of lust from Amesuki. The boy drifted behind her, lifting her hands by the chain. She heard the key against the steel, followed by a click. Her left hand was freed first.
"What truth did you put in the boys heads to get them to follow you?"
Kyuushutsu chuckled as her hand was released from the other manacle. She brought them both around to rub her sore wrists.
"Unfortunately a very simple one. If they followed me, I would keep the girls naked. A few required more coaxing, but deep down, every guy desires this."
Kurumu turned a pout upon Amesuki.
"You're following him to see naked girls?"
Amesuki laughed nervously as a giggling Lady Hineri took the key and shackles from him. The PSC senior hurried off around the throne, probably intent on returning the shackles to the box.
"He's causing no harm, Ms. Kurono."
"I think Ms. Yukawa would disagree."
Amesuki smiled, taking her hands in his.
"If Mr. Kyuushutsu can convince all of society to accept the truths of his kingdom, then we all could live more honest lives."
"He would destroy society with this nonsense."
"The fashion market would undoubtedly collapse."
Kurumu laughed, tugging on his hands as she backed up a step.
"What about that fancy career you wanted to get?"
"I can still do that. We'll have a stable future together."
Kurumu breathed in deep as she tugged him with her. She wished he had darker hair.
"You should cut your hair."
"My hair is already short."
"Short so it doesn't have girly waves in it."
"Come with me to a barber and I will have it tailored to your desires."
Kurumu smiled softly, coming to a stop near Moka's spot. She glanced over and smirked at Ginei.
"Mika is going to be upset with you."
Ginei glanced up at her with a stupor in his good eye.
"I'm just keeping them warm."
"Yea. We're cold."
"And he smells so good."
"You can't possibly be on board with this guy."
"Can you imagine a new dress code? Why stop at thongs the girls can come to school naked?"
"I should have known better."
"Sit with me, Kurumu."
"I would but someone has to let go of my hands."
Amesuki chuckled, releasing her hands. Kurumu grinned, holding her hands below her breasts as he looked her over. He wanted her. It felt good to be wanted.
"You know that this isn't going to last."
"Of course it won't. We have two homeroom teachers in here ignoring their duties. Someone will come for us soon. But if everyone tries to approach the situation peacefully, we should manage fine."
"Don't you have to run along to your post?"
"I'd rather sit with you and get to know you better."
Supposing she had no objection to that, Kurumu backed up to feel Moka's hand on her calf. Grinning, she knelt down by Moka's side, gesturing for Amesuki to join them.
"I doubt we need introductions."
Moka tugged upon her, having abandoned her affections upon Yukari.
"I'm so happy you're here. She's been asking me to drink your blood."
Kurumu smirked, leaning against Moka's shoulder as Amesuki took a seat beside them.
"You know that will break his charm."
Moka kissed her on the cheek, causing her to gasp.
"Can we make love first?"
Kurumu giggled as Moka's lips pressed against her neck.
"No. Too many people watching."
"I want you to feel good."
Kurumu gasped as Moka's fangs sunk into her flesh at that sensitive spot. She grabbed Moka tightly, unable to pull free. Her whole body trembled as the tension within her rapidly increased.
Kurumu whimpered as a surge of passion gushed from her thighs. The lust from Amesuki elevated to new, delicious heights as he witnessed her climax. His hands felt like fire as he touched her shoulder, scooting closer to her side.
"Amazing."
Moka withdrew her fangs, panting heavily against Kurumu's neck.
"Thank you."
Kurumu murmured a response, leaning her cheek against Moka's head. She wanted to kiss someone. Her trembling body wanted to be touched and caressed more.
"Can I hold her?"
Moka pulled back, tugging Kurumu's head against her bosom.
"No. You're coming with me, Mr. Amesuki."
"Where to?"
"Hold her for me, Yukari."
Kurumu fell into Yukari's arms as Moka scooted back. Holding the witch for support, Kurumu watched as Moka got up on her feet.
"Mr. Kyuushutsu. I need to pee."
Kyuushutsu laughed along with the giggles of several girls.
"Fine. You'll need an escort."
"Mr. Amesuki will come with me. But I will need my clothes. There might be teachers in the gym."
"Does anyone else need a potty break?"
A bunch of giggles and denials answered his remark.
"Make it quick, you two. Everyone! Be prepared! It's almost the second period and we are bound to have curious guests soon. We must be polite and accommodating hosts."
Moka hurried off to the corner where all the clothes had been discarded. A reluctant Amesuki followed after her, casting longing gazes back at Kurumu. He wanted to touch her. She wanted to be touched.
"You smell so sexy."
Kurumu gasped as Yukari started kissing her breasts. The witch scooted in closer and started toying with her nipple, causing Kurumu to whimper.
"Yukari. Please."
"Do you want my fingers somewhere else?"
She did but she knew this was not the time for it. Breathing in deep, she squeezed the witch tightly. Yukari squeaked a protest, ceasing her nipple teasing.
"Smells so good. Do I smell good, Mr. Morioka?"
"Hey, hey! Hands off the goods!"
"But it's hard."
Tora was pushing on Akari whom was licking the side of Ginei's head. Her tail had slipped out and was wagging across the floor.
"Let that go, Ms. Uchikawa."
"Tsuiseki! Got a pup you need to put in horny jail!"
Akari drew back on her knees, holding her hands close to herself.
"No! I'll be good!"
"What's going on here?"
Tsuiseki chuckled as he trotted over. Akari glanced over her shoulder, shaking her head.
"I'm fine. It's the smell."
"Smells like sex."
"Our succubus here had a little accident. It's too much for poor Akari."
Tsuiseki snickered, hauling Akari up by her arms onto her feet.
"Come with me. You won't get frisky."
Akari whined as Tsuiseki led the girl with him to his post at the door. Moka was nearly dressed, fixing up her skirt. Kurumu smiled at Amesuki, absently running her fingers through Yukari's locks.
"How are you holding up, Tora?"
"I'm not going to grab your dick."
"Good. That wasn't my fault, you know."
Tora huffed, nuzzling up against him. With her eyes closed, she looked like she was about to take a nap.
"I'm only here because Ms. Uchikawa asked me to. I should have stayed with Ms. Unari."
As Ginei chuckled at the remarks, Kurumu watched Moka walk over to the nearest door. The vampire said a few words with Rubi and a flush Akari. After the quick exchange, Moka and Amesuki left.
"Yukari. Why are you staying here?"
"Because my Moka was here. And now you're here too."
"Do you want to be naked around all of these guys?"
"Nobody cares if I'm naked."
Kurumu mulled that over, wondering what sort of truth she would have to put in their minds to correct what Kyuushutsu had done.
"Did he tell you it was okay to be naked?"
"More or less. Though I don't need guys to protect me. I have my friends."
Kurumu nodded thoughtfully, rubbing her hand upon Yukari's back. The witch felt so warm.
"Did he tell Lady Hineri and Tora the same thing?"
"No. He reasoned with each of them separately."
"You mean charmed."
"Yea. He can charm with his voice now."
Kurumu sighed in frustration. How could she remove a truth that was different for each person?
Kurumu blinked at a sudden thought. She pressed her hand against Yukari's head.
"Yukari. I want you to forget everything Mr. Kyuushutsu has told you in the past twenty four hours."
Yukari stiffened. Her hold on Kurumu went lax and then she sat back with a frown.
"He charmed me."
"You were aware of that."
"I don't want to be naked."
"I figured as much. Ginei. Tora. Over here."
Ginei chuckled, running his fingers through Tora's wavy, raven locks.
"I doubt she wants to leave her comfortable spot."
"Too bad. Get over here."
Still chuckling, Ginei lifted up which forced Tora off of him. Grabbing her by the arm, he started crawling towards them. Tora groaned, yanking her arm free to crawl without his help.
"Have to admit that there's something irresistible about a naked girl down on all fours."
"Shut up. What is it you want?"
Kurumu smiled as the two stopped by her, lifting back up in a kneeling position. She took in a deep breath and focused her power into her voice and gaze.
"I want you to forget everything Mr. Kyuushutsu has told you in the past twenty four hours."
In the blink of an eye, Ginei was up on his feet and darting for the door as Tora cried out in alarm. Kurumu slapped a hand over Tora's mouth, shushing her as several guys greeted Ginei's approach.
"Coming through! Have to go!"
"Morioka?"
"What did you do, Ms. Kurono?!"
Kurumu shook her head at Kyuushutsu, unsure what was going on. She glanced back at the door, seeing that Ginei had successfully escaped the gym. The trio of guys were chuckling and shrugging at each other, likely confused over why anyone would want to leave this utopia.
"Had to use the bathroom?"
"And what do you have to say about this, Ms. Nazohashi?"
Kurumu looked into Tora's frightened eyes, pleading for her to not tell the truth. Tora shivered, pulling away from Kurumu and getting to her feet.
"I need to pee. So does Ms. Sendou. Can we get dressed?"
Kyuushutsu sighed heavily.
"I would have sent you with Ms. Akashiya if you had spoken up earlier. You can wait until she returns."
Tora cupped her navel and started to squirm.
"Please. I can't hold it much longer."
"Fine. I'll-"
"Kyuushutsu!"
Kurumu shivered from the rush of power flooding the gym. She turned to see Moka stride purposefully by the trio of boys with Rubi. Her silver tresses and crimson eyes proved that she had found Tsukune.
"Ah. There you are. I was about to-"
Moka launched herself across the room with the same speed Ginei had left it. She hit the makeshift throne with enough force to send the desks, mats and girls flying in all directions. As the debris settled about them, the vampire hauled the incubus up by his throat.
"You're done."
Kyuushutsu gagged, trying to pry her fingers from his throat.
"How?"
"Succubus blood. Think you can force a vampire to submit to your lewd schemes? Know your place!"
Moka tossed him up and spun about with her foot trailing a vicious arc. Her kick connected with his gut, launching him across the gym to hit the wall between the storage room and the clothes with enough force to crater it. Kyuushutsu pitched forward, lying still upon the floor.
"Tokei!"
Yukawa sprinted across the gym, hopping around the debris and groaning girls to reach the incubus. She knelt down beside him, struggling with her shackles.
"Please! Speak to me!"
"You vile bitch!"
"How dare you harm Lord Kyuushutsu?!"
Moka huffed, fluffing her hair as she regarded Karada and Yojoumoe.
"Come at me if you dare."
Kurumu hopped up to her feet, rushing over to the pair of girls.
"That's not needed, Moka. I can fix these two."
"What do you mean by fix? This brute attacked our precious Kyuushutsu!"
Kurumu smiled at the scowling pair.
"I want you to forget everything Mr. Kyuushutsu has told you in the past… week."
"How would we ever forget the words of our dear Kyuushutsu?"
Kurumu took in a deep breath, feeling more confident now that she had a time in mind.
"Trust me. You both will be better off not remembering anything he told you in the past week."
Both girls nodded before letting out shrieks. They both ran for the corner with the clothes which Tora and Yukari had already hurried off to.
"Mr. Kyuushutsu's down."
"Yea. What do we do now?"
Kurumu turned about. The boys guarding the doors were all approaching her with looks of uncertainty. Despite the confusion, many harbored lustful thoughts upon seeing her naked. Kurumu grinned wide as she had a thought.
"Every guy in the room, raise your hand!"
She turned her head slightly to confirm that she had Tsuiseki and his two friends. She even had Huang and Miyamoto under her spell.
"Could you all gather in close so that I can see you?"
"She's going to charm our men away!"
"We have to stop her!"
Ignoring the alarmed cries of Garakuta and the Hitsuji sisters, Kurumu took in a deep breath.
"I want you to go to your classroom, sit down and put your head on your desk. When you lift your head up from your nap, you will have no memory of what has happened in the past twenty four hours."
Kurumu staggered as Ms. Idatsu grabbed her by the shoulders the moment the last syllable left her lips.
"What have you done?!"
"Calm down, Ms. Idatsu. I need you to forget everything Mr. Kyuushutsu has told you in the past twenty four hours as of now."
The buxom teacher blinked as the other girls arrived to confront Kurumu.
"Oh no! I'm supposed to be teaching class right now! I need to get dressed!"
Kurumu smiled as the woman darted off for the pile of clothes. The Hitsuji sisters clutched each other, regarding her nervously.
"She can charm us too?"
"What do we do?"
"It will all make more sense if you forget everything Mr. Kyuushutsu has told you in the past twenty four hours. I promise you."
The three nodded dumbly. Garakuta gasped, covering her breasts and glancing over her shoulder as the sisters both blushed. The second year boys of class eleven and Huang were already dutifully walking away to fulfill the order Kurumu had given them.
"They won't remember anything, right?!"
"It will be fine, Garakuta. The three of you can go get dressed."
Moka laughed, draping an arm over her shoulder.
"Looks like you've got a few more heads to fix before this is all over."
Kurumu sighed, noting Rubi and Akari were frowning at the growing number of girls rushing to get dressed. She leaned against Moka.
"I never did understand how he could charm you to begin with. It's not her body."
"Maybe not, but she's the one in control of it at the time. All I could do was nag her about getting your blood over and over. It's so annoying to not be in control of myself."
Kurumu sighed again as Rubi and Akari started over towards them.
"You made me orgasm in front of Amesuki."
"Not my fault. I said to get your blood. She's the one that decided how."
"What happened to him?"
"Mr. Umizake has him restrained. I'm guessing you want him to forget everything too."
"Ms. Kurono. What is going on?"
"You mean other than the fact that Ms. Akashiya might have killed Mr. Kyuushutsu."
Kurumu chuckled, regarding the confused pair.
"I think I'm going to let him keep it."
"Dismissed."
Kurumu sighed heavily, slumping into her chair behind her desk. She grabbed her schoolbag by the strap and yanked it off the hook, pulling it across her desk into her lap.
"This day could not have ended sooner."
"Yano and Nakai have cleanup duty today."
"That bad?"
Kurumu glanced over her shoulder at Juri's amused tone.
"You have no idea."
"Hopefully not because of our lunch together. I know Mr. Hamanaka can be difficult."
Kurumu smiled at Hisakata, shaking her head.
"Nope. This happened before."
"The reason why you and Ms. Sendou were late this morning?"
"It wasn't just us. Satsuki and Endo weren't here either."
Ichida chuckled, getting up from his desk with his schoolbag in hand.
"I highly doubt that your troubles overlap with Ms. Endo's."
"I don't want to explain. I'm just happy the day is over."
"See you tomorrow, Ms. Kurono."
Kurumu smiled, watching Ichida leave on the heels of Deshi.
"Almost done with that kendo article?"
Kurumu grinned at Juri and nodded.
"I got seven of the sixteen done. One more lunch tomorrow should do it. If I do miss anyone, I can finish them when I do their pictures."
Juri patted her on the head before walking off.
"Have some fun, Kurumu. You deserve it."
Kurumu took in a deep breath. Nearly everybody had already left. Yukari was cleaning off the blackboard while Satsuki lingered at the podium. Yano was pushing the broom while Nakai wielded the dust pan.
Most people had no clue about Kyuushutsu's insane plan. After getting dressed, they had returned to class in time for the start of second period. They had offered no explanations for their tardiness.
Not much else could be said about the day. In sewing class, Ms. Hitori had opened up the storage room and given them permission to use what they liked out of the stock for their cultural festival activities.
She had sat on the sidelines in gym, chatting with Manami for almost the entirety of it. She seemed to have the same taste in music as most girls did. Popular stuff that was playing on the radio. The songs she mentioned when they talked about Mr. Children were not the ones Kurumu was familiar with.
"You coming?"
Kurumu smiled at Satsuki and Yukari. She nodded, getting up from her desk.
"Is your butt feeling better?"
Satsuki snorted as they shuffled down the aisle to the back of the room.
"Can I blame my broken ass for not training tonight?"
Kurumu smirked, aware that several girls had suffered minor injuries from Moka's charge.
"It can't be that bad."
"Not upset that she saved us, but she could have been more cautious about it."
Many students in the hall were decorating the fronts of their classrooms with signs for their activities. Natsudera and Chousei were hoisting up a banner for class three, standing on chairs to pin it up.
"We need to start on our decorations."
Yukari and Satsuki sounded an agreement as they stepped through the open back door. Most of the students had already left class three. The big boys, Hedoyami and Yamazaru, remained, making the rounds with the broom and dust pan. The only other one present was Tora, standing at the podium.
"Tora! Are you ready for a grueling training session tonight?"
Tora sighed, leaning upon the podium. She toyed with a raven lock about her ear as they approached.
"Not in the slightest."
Kurumu chuckled, parking her rump on Kamitsuku's desk. Yukari settled into his chair while Satsuki leaned against Suzume's desk.
"Any news on your goldfish booth?"
"Mostly stuff that will happen over the weekend. Ms. Nekonome will be getting our fish and your boyfriend will be making our tank."
Kurumu sighed at Tora's smirk.
"Ushio is not my boyfriend."
"How's your café doing?"
"We have most of our planning done. Ms. Hitori will be sizing us up for outfits on Saturday."
"Mhm. I'll soon have a third maid outfit in my closet."
"I think one should have been enough."
Kurumu grinned at Satsuki, shaking her head.
"It's not if you wear them regularly."
"Hey, hey! I'm here with our lovely savior!"
Kana strolled in with a bright smile and an arm draped around a blushing Moka.
"It was actually her that saved everyone."
"I'm just glad that it was not too violent of a resolution."
Moka laughed nervously, rubbing her temple.
"Yea. I heard that Mr. Kyuushutsu will be out for a few days."
"And Ms. Ishigami and Ms. Sano both requested for him to be removed from the art elective. Don't know where they'll put him, but good riddance."
Kurumu smiled, gesturing at Kana.
"I saw you and Iko were working hard on something."
"Mhm. The manga club are wanting to sell some comics at the cultural festival. She was inspired by this whole experience."
"Are you planning to sell porn?"
Kana laughed, waving her hand dismissively.
"Don't be silly, Yukari. I'm not in the manga club."
"That's not an answer."
Kana had a devilish grin.
"Anyways. Do you think Ms. Yukawa will start dating him after this? She was so concerned."
"It's not like she hates the guy."
"I don't hate him either but you don't see me running to his side and going to the hospital with him. You had to remind her that she needed to put on some clothes."
Kurumu smiled softly, curious what was going on in that small girl's head.
"Maybe she doesn't think herself worthy of him."
"He kidnapped her, Kurumu."
Kurumu sighed, wondering how she would feel if Tsukune kidnapped her.
"She was probably too scared to understand him."
"All I'm saying is that I, and a lot of other girls, will be annoyed that she didn't go out with him when he first asked her to. This whole thing happened because he couldn't handle her rejection."
"It's still his fault."
"Did you ever hunt down that Mr. Amesuki to fix his memory like the other boys?"
Kurumu smiled at Kana, shaking her head.
"No. I doubt he will make a fuss."
"I'm more worried about Senior. I'd rather him not recall two naked girls cuddling him."
"It wouldn't be the first time I've seen you naked."
Tora shuddered at his voice. Ginei sauntered into the room with his arms around Hajihachi. Kurumu smirked as he made his way up the aisle.
"You ran out of there like your life depended on it."
"I had to find my woman immediately. Something hard came up that she needed to handle for me."
Hajihachi swatted him, shaking her head as she came to a stop by Kurumu.
"I heard all about it. As long as this dummy doesn't say anything to Ms. Betsutama about being naked or to Akari about grabbing his dick, it should be fine."
"You actually told her about that?"
Ginei smirked, nodding.
"Yes. Right before I gave it to her."
"Stop. He did not."
"Can't you just fix him? I'd rather him not have another memory of me being naked."
"I don't see why it's that big of an issue. It's not like you were begging for me to put a baby in you like Kamoko was doing to Haiji."
Tora grimaced, shaking her head.
"Don't remind me."
"We have a club meeting to attend to. I know we aren't working heavily on our next articles, but do we have any progress to report?"
Tora and Moka shook their heads as Kana gave a thumbs up.
"I've got at least one comic panel ready for you."
"I haven't thought about starting mine. Though Kurumu made some progress with hers."
Kurumu nodded at Yukari's remark.
"I should be done with the kendo club interviews tomorrow. All that's left to do is schedule the photos."
"Short of you trying to do it this weekend, I don't see it happening before the festival."
"Why not?"
"We've got fliers to make, Kurumu."
"When will that happen?"
"Yea. You asked us to work on the template."
Ginei grinned at Kana.
"The final vote that determines what each classroom will be doing happens on Saturday. The committee will give us a copy of the schedule on Monday. I need everyone to stick around so that we can make a sample brochure for their approval on Monday if possible."
"Can't you do it on Tuesday?"
"No way. We need to be handing these things out Friday morning and I don't think anyone here wants to miss the fireworks on Thursday night. That means we only have two nights to be printing out thousands of fliers. That's a lot to do in one night, so I'm going to need both."
Kurumu frowned as she mulled that over.
"It's not like a photo session takes that long. If we do their pictures right after school, I can have that wrapped up and then help with your brochures."
"That's up to you, Kurumu. Arrange a date with Coach Miwa and let Mitsuki know."
There was a long moment of silence which finally was broken by Ginei letting out a sigh and draping his arms about Hajihachi.
"Well I don't have anything else to discuss. I assume that Tsukune is doing committee things."
Tora snorted, nodding.
"Yes. And Ms. Shirayuki is watching over him."
Satsuki snickered, shaking her head.
"Umizake told us that Shirayuki froze Aono to keep him from charging in after you guys."
"I guess that's one way of him keeping his word of staying put."
Moka laughed softly.
"They were waiting by the stage. I'm glad that I wasn't naked when I left with hopes of finding him."
"That's more than enough reminiscing about that loser. I'm going to take my girlfriend home and replay all of the fantasies that were running through my head while two naked girls cuddled me for warmth."
As Hajihachi laid into him for bringing it up again, Tora shook her head with a sad smile. She glanced at Kurumu with pleading eyes.
"Are you sure this will be fine?"
Kurumu smiled, glancing at Ginei whom was stealing kisses from a flustered girl.
"Yea. What's the worst that could happen?"
