Honoka couldn't stop laughing at him. He was so worried about why Kurumu failed to make him her permanent love slave. It was kind of sweet how he showed concern. Her power might seize control of him unexpectedly. "Don't worry so much buddy. No one else can form a permanent bond with you unless they kill me first."
"I don't understand why you find that funny Honoka-chan." Tsukune frowned at how casually she talked about dying.
"Sorry Tsukune-sama, I know the savagery of the monster world is new to you. Your like a fawn to our ways." She gave him a comforting hug. Then continued as her laughter finally stopped. "Listen, I'm an S class monster. We aren't that easy to kill, believe me." She smiled broadly as his entire body relaxed some.
"Okay, if you say so. I will take it in stride for now. However, if someone murdered you they will pay dearly for it! Your my best friend after all." His anger at the thought was significant. Yet he knew he must adapt not lose control.
Feeling a need to lighten the mood she deftly changed the subject. "So number three really has amazing pillowy mounds. I bet you have naughty dreams about them already." She giggled heartily as he turned a dark shade of red. His nose started steadily dripping blood. "I fear my own purity is at risk if I dig any deeper. At least your a healthy guy."
"Please Honoka-chan stop already. Moka, Yukari and Kurumu are waiting for us. We need to pick a club today." Tsukune managed to prevent anymore blood from flowing. He looked around Miss Nekonome's empty classroom. Everyone else had left quickly since they had the rest of the school day. If his friend hadn't shown up when she did. He would be out looking too.
"Fine Tsukune-sama let's go. Weird that your little harem hasn't barged in though." She grabbed his hand affectionately and led him out of his homeroom. The halls were surprisingly empty as the pair exited the school building. Her uniform shirt was white. Also, she wore a knee length skirt that matched her riders blazer in color. Around her wrist were bronze bracelets that shined in the sunlight. Her long black hair was tied in a single braid dangling down her back.
The crowd of students outside unconsciously gave them a little space. As if they somehow couldn't stray close to them. Honoka knew it was because she was a Kirin. Her nature was respected on an instinctual level among monster kind. However, they could overlook the emotional barrier. If they focused enough on defying it.
Tsukune soon discovered why the other girls had left him alone so long. The crowd swarmed them like locust. Clubs called out to the top school beauties. Yet the swarm parted before him and his best friend. It wasn't the weirdest thing he saw at Yokai Academy. It did warent noting for future reference.
Kurumu was first to see Odoriko and her destined one. "Tsu-ku-ne, where have you been? I missed you terribly" She tackled him to the ground. He was unable to answer her as he had a face full of succubus chest. She moaned softly at his gift for pleasure aroused her. Soon she was preparing to go in for a kiss as her back arched. The loud smack of a gold washtub echoed. Dazeing the blue haired temptress.
"Kurumu your going to suffocate him!" Moka dragged her love rival away from Tsukune. However, as she did the heavenly scent of his blood touched her. The crimson delight flowed from his nose as she inched toward him. Another golden weight landed on her head this time. "Thanks Yukari I needed that." She rubbed her head as she spoke.
"Don't worry my darling Moka. It's always a pleasure to help you out." Then she grinned disturbingly as she saw her opening. Unfortunately, Kurumu had recovered and lifted her up by her cape.
"No way shorty! You don't get it that easy." She set her down as the trio calmed down.
Honoka was laughing quietly at the entertaining display. These girls sure had no shame when it came to Tsukune-sama. She clapped her hands together gaining all her friends attention. "Well, fun as this is we have a club to choose." She glanced at the vampire girl and nodded to herself. "Swim club is definitely out. So, any other suggestions?"
Moka looked shocked for a moment. Her greatest concern was thrown out without hesitation. She smiled happily and felt strong affection for Honoka in that moment. "None here, though I would like us all to be in one together." Kurumu and Yukari nodded in agreement with their pink haired friend.
Tsukune glanced thru the crowd of club recruiters. He noticed about ten guys in white kimonos. Each had unstrung bows over their shoulders. They seemed to act with discipline as they worked together getting prospective members. Then he turned to his four friends. "If it's not too much trouble I would like to see if the Archery club would work for us."
Kurumu immediately took his left arm. "Anything for you my destined one. I think A kimono would suit me don't you Tsu-ku-ne."
Yukari was soon at his free hand and glared at the succubus. "You sure you can handle a bow. That rack of yours will probably get in the way!"
The Kirin Rider shrugged as the two bicker at his sides. "Moka, Honoka-chan are you both okay with checking out Archery club?"
The beast type monster smiled at his words. "Of course Tsukune-sama you know I enjoy that."
"That sounds okay Tsukune. You did mention you practiced that a lot at home." She put on an innocent smile and blinked prettily. "Though.. um..I haven't had breakfast yet. Would you mind?" The boy sighed heavily, but relented to her hunger.
Archery training grounds...
"Alright newbies let's see what your made of!" The captain looked at his sorry crop of possible recruits. Soon enough the real talent revealed itself. The pink, blue and black haired first year girls showed little skill for ranged attacks. However, the little witch showed promise. Only his top Archer's out did her. Tsukune Aono was the real diamond of the freshman though. His ability rivaled his own.
"So Aono and Sendo you would do well here. Your other friends show little aptitude however. I recommend they look elsewhere for club activities. What say you both?" As he waited for an answer he prepared to reveal his trump card if they refused.
Yukari as usual was first to express her opinion. "No thanks I can't have Moka and Tsukune at the same time for a passionate night if one is missing."
Honoka and Kurumu shook their heads negatively. As Moka and Tsukune blushed. A succubus and kirin agreeing about anything like that was a minor miracle itself. To be fair the two of them were on a similar intellectual level.
Tsukune was reluctant to refuse as he looked at his friends in white kimonos. They did show off how beautiful they all were. "Sorry Captain I'd rather spend time with the people I care about most. So I have to refuse."
All his female friends spoke in perfect sync in reaction. "Awe, we love you too Tsukune."
The Captain was annoyed it the sickening display of affection. "Very well, I suppose we could use some cheerleaders." As he spoke his voice deepened and his human appearance disappeared. He was now taller and more muscular with orange skin and a messy red beard. "I'm a hobgoblin and so is the rest of the Archery club. Now you will feel the power of our horde mentality."
As one, the other members changed into slightly smaller versions of their captain. Then a deep hum started resonating from each hobgoblin throat.
Soon Moka, Kurumu and Yukari all got a dazed look in their eyes. Then they added voices to the deep hum.
The captain was surprised Aono and Odoriko didn't fall in line as well. They were ten altogether. Each hobgoblin contributing should have increased the hypnotic effect. No one should be able to resist that much horde mentality. "Soldiers subdue those two and make sure they feel it tomorrow!"
"Yes captain!" Nine hobgoblins plus Moka, Kurumu and Yukari shouted with complete obedience.
"Honoka-chan we have a problem." He wasn't keen on fighting people he cared about.
"I know Tsukune-sama, but all we have to do is release my seal. Then it will be easy to take out these B class punks. Their only truly effective in groups." Before she could say more he kissed her full on the lips. She was shocked into silence.
"Why didn't it work? I was sure that was the secret to unseal you." He looked confused as the enemy rushed the pair.
"Silly boy, that was only neccesary to establish our bond." Need pushed her to action. She held her arms aloft exposing the bronze bracelets around her wrist. They began turning cherry red then appeared to melt. With that she became a Kirin again. She immediately rammed three of the hobgoblins.
Meanwhile, Tsukune formulated a simple yet effective strategy. He rushed Moka and snatched her rosary while clothes lining a hobgoblin with his other arm. The sudden flood of power briefly stopped the horde mentality.
Silver haired Moka was extremely pissed off. She let the captain know it with a kick that drove him thru several trees. "How dare you try to control me! Know your place!"
The allied trio soon put the rest of the hobgoblins down for the count. Kurumu snapped out of her stupor first. She hugged Tsukune from behind.
"Thanks Tsu-ku-ne. Oops my kimono slipped a little." She hugged him tightly.
"Kurumu, why aren't you wearing a bra?" The softness of her bare flesh was unmistakable.
"Not just that, no panties ether. Kimonos are meant to be worn without anything underneath." Before she could do more Moka dragged her away.
