Newspaper Club and the Peeping Wolf Mystery
"Okay everyone, let's start off with welcoming you all to Yokai Academy's Newspaper Club!" Shizuka announced happily to Laphicet, Tsukune, and the girls as they sit in chairs.
"To be honest, this is a lot more students joining than I could hope for." Shizuka giggled.
"Just curious, are we the only ones joining the club this year?" Tsukune asked as he notice there aren't more students here.
"Oh no, there's one more coming." Shizuka informed.
"Sorry if I'm late." A guy voice entered the room.
"You see, there he is now!" Shizuka gestured to the third male student that just join them and to the new members' surprise that he's carrying two bouquet of flowers.
"Apologize for being a little tragedy, but there were some things I have to pick up. It's a pleasure to meet you." The guy greeted putting the flowers down to reveal his face.
He's a handsome young man with ink black hair that he wears a red headband under his hair and reddish-brown eyes. He wears the standard male uniform, except for the tie, and his shirt is open a little which shows a wolf head pendant he wears around his neck.
"I am Ginei Morioka, but please call me Gin." Gin introduced himself as he handed the flowers to Moka and Kurumu.
"I see you're still the gentleman playboy as ever, Gin." Magilou said.
"What can I say, Magilou, I'm always willing to please a woman whatever they requested and" Gin paused and slowly turns his head to Magilou with her usual wicked smile.
"What the fuck?! Magilou!" Gin shouted in fear as he slams his back against the blackboard shocking everyone.
"Aw, it's so nice that you haven't forgotten me since last year." Magilou teased.
"Wait, you know this guy, Big sis?" Yukari asked.
"Huh, big sis… wait, she's the little sister you used to tell me?" Gin asked shock.
"That's right, and to answer your question, Yukari. Gin and I used to hang out together, sometimes I come here in the clubroom whenever I feel bored while the other students called us a weird couple." Magilou blurted out the last part about her and Gin being a couple on purpose.
"What?! You dated a club president!" Tsukune gasped.
"You actually dated a guy and didn't tell me?!" Yukari gasped too; everyone looks at Gin who is now curls into a ball with little sobbing sounds.
"Dating that crazy witch was the worst experience of my life, the things she used to do to me… I still have nightmares about her sometimes." Gin explained.
"Oh come on, you can't mean the fun times we used to have were bad: like the time I froze you in a block of ice to make you an icy surfboard, or the time I gave you that vicious wildcat I got from a dangerous jungle for your birthday, or the time we went skydiving without parachutes and I only caught myself with my card, or the time I made you that monster taco that almost killed you. You can't honestly say those weren't fun." Magilou shrugged and list the things they used to do.
"(I think those were the bad times for him.)" Everyone thought as they feel pity for Gin having to go through all that.
"Umm, I didn't think you would be the type to even consider dating." Velvet pointed out.
"True, I never cared about affection toward others except for Yukari, but Gin had the balls to actually ask me out. It was strange yet I also wanted to see what dating would be like, so I accepted dog boy's offer." Magilou explained.
"In other words, you used him like a guinea pig for experiments." Yukari deadpanned.
"That's right!" Magilou answered proudly.
"Damn it, and I really hoped that I would never have to see you again after we broke up last year though I also heard you got held back again." Gin mentioned.
"I am, and I've decided to go something a little more fun than what I usually do and came here with my friends." Magilou explained.
"Okay, as long as you don't blow up this club like what you did with the science club." Gin said.
"I promise." Magilou raised a hand, though everyone knows she might do something troubling.
"Well, if everything is settle then I'll leave things in your hands Gin. I'm going to the faculty meeting." Shizuka said before leaving the clubroom.
Gin soon calm himself down and look toward his new club members ready to get down to business.
"Now I'm going to tell you what the newspaper club is all about. First and for most, the club writes, edits, and publishes the school papers. If something happens on campus, we'll be there to report and we'll do anything for a story, that includes throwing ourselves in harms way if that may be. So, you better prepare yourselves now guys because is not for the fame of heart!" Gin explained with a little determination.
"Wow, he sounds like a real hard-working journalist." Moka impressed.
"He does have moments a few times." Magilou mentioned making Gin flinch a bit.
"Okay, so does anyone have a story they would like to share?" Gin asked, and he quickly caught two papers in his hand as they were thrown by Magilou.
"Here, I'm sure these photos would peek everyone's interest." Magilou smirked.
Gin look at the photos and became shock, the two pictures are when Velvet and Laphicet were at the swimming club showing one where Laphicet was almost eaten by the swim club president and the other one shows Velvet beating the swim president with her demonic fist.
"Whoa! These pictures are great, and this will also give warning to everyone if they ever even think about joining the swimming club." Gin commented as he shows the photos to everyone.
"When were you able to take those, Magilou?" Laphicet asked.
"During the whole ordeal, I was there for the competition, after all." Magilou answered.
"If you had the time to take pictures then why didn't you help us?" Velvet asked angry at the carefree witch.
"I figured you had it under control, plus I casted a spell on the boys there of what happened to them was a little dream until we publish these pictures as everyone will know." Magilou explained.
"Okay, we'll get these on the front page. Got any other stories?" Gin asked.
Everyone sat quietly as they try to think of something worthwhile for the newspapers, but no one has come up with anything until Kurumu spoke up.
"Hey, what about the peeping tom?" Kurumu asked.
"Peeping tom, what do you mean?" Tsukune asked curious.
"You guys haven't heard, there's this pervert that's been going around campus lately peeping on girls. The freak is so quick that no one has been able to get a good description of him yet." Kurumu explained about the rumors she heard from the other female students.
"As if we had already dealt with perverts before." Velvet irritated.
"This creep needs to be stop!" Yukari declared.
"Hmm, sounds like an old friend of yours, Gin." Magilou blurted out.
"Wait, do you know this guy, Gin?" Tsukune asked.
Gin became nervous and look at Magilou who gave him a nod, he clears his throat before speaking.
"Yeah, there's only one guy I know who's very fast like you said, Kurumu. We used to be friends when we were freshmen until we went our separate ways after summer vacation before starting our second year here." Gin explained.
"Sounds like you two haven't spoken to each other since." Laphicet stated.
"Yeah, we bump into each other once and a while just saying hi, but I never thought he would go on doing something like this." Gin said looking sad.
"People change when you least expected, it never goes well." Velvet looked down at her sealed left arm.
"Velvet and I will do the investigation of this peeping, we'll let you know if we found anything." Laphicet volunteered.
"That's kind of you, now let places out some filers about the peeping tom." Gin suggested.
(Outside the School Building)
"Okay, this is where the girls said the peeping tom was before escaping." Laphicet said as he and Velvet are standing near the stop where the girls said the peeping tom was.
"This guy must be good at stealth to hide from anyone in this angle, but I think might be able to get his scent." Velvet said as she leans her nose close to the ground.
"Uh, what are you doing?" Laphicet confused.
"I trying to smell the pervert's scent so I can know what monster he is." Velvet answered as she sniffs the ground.
"Whoa, you have the nose of a dog!" Laphicet shocked.
"Sh-Shut up! My nose just works a little better than a dog, it's no big deal or anything." Velvet snapped as her cheeks blush, she calms herself down and stand up.
"Anyway, I got the scent. Our mysterious pervert is a werewolf." Velvet informed.
"A werewolf, that's interesting." Laphicet said.
"They're also S-Class monsters like vampires and are also rivals to them as well." Velvet explained as the two walks toward their classroom.
"I wonder if Gin can tell us more about this friend of his, maybe like where he usually hangs out when he wants to be all alone." Laphicet said.
"I rather not ask the guy." Velvet advised.
"Huh, but why?" Laphicet asked.
"Call it a gut feeling, there's something about Gin that doesn't seem right especially the way he reacted about the peeping tom. I think he knows something that we don't." Velvet stated.
Laphicet starts to wonder if Velvet is right about Gin hiding something from the club, and he might be involve with peeping tom too.
(With Gin and Magilou)
"No! Fuck no, Magilou! You can't be serious!" Gin slammed his fist on the table.
"You should know better of how serious I can be when it comes to something like this." Magilou said with a serious look.
"Have you forgotten what happened last time we tried standing up to those guys, we got beaten to near death and you would've been killed too if "he" hadn't stop them." Gin reminded the witch of the incident they went through last year.
"I never forgot but looking back then you once told me that the truth was more important than the school, that you wanted free everyone from their iron grip. Was all that true?" Magilou countered with a question that made Gin grunts looking away.
"…It was back then, but those words are dead and there's nothing we can do about it." Gin said before standing up and walk to the door.
"I wouldn't be so sure, Tsukune and Laphicet are the key to freeing this school's darkness once and for all." Magilou believed.
"Those two are just freshmen, and one of them is a little pipsqueak. They can't possible do anything against them." Gin mocked before leaving the witch in the clubroom.
"True, two human boys alone can't do anything to them, but them along with the friends they made here then there is hope." Magilou said with a gentle smile. She's also glad that she hasn't told Gin about Tsukune and Laphicet being humans, otherwise Gin would freak out.
(The Next Day)
"Damn it, Moka and Kurumu are mad at me because they thought I was peeping on them." Tsukune groaned as he and Laphicet are walking together in the hallway.
"I'm sure they know it, I bet it was that pervert guy setting you up." Laphicet theorized.
"Great, another guy who wants Moka because of her beauty and wants me out of the way." Tsukune worried.
"Hey Laphicet, Tsukune, if you guys are going to the newspaper club today, would you mind asking Gin if I could borrow the drum." Shizuka asked.
"Huh, why do you think Gin has a drum?" Tsukune confused.
"I thought he does since I saw him carrying a drum around yesterday." Shizuka mentioned and Laphicet gasps.
"Wait, Gin… drum… and the werewolf scent Velvet found." Laphicet started to put all those pieces together and realization hits him harder than Vegeta's Final Flash attack.
"Tsukune, we have to fine Moka. Now!" Laphicet said as he ran.
"Hey Laphicet, wait! What's going on?" Tsukune ran after his little friend.
"It's Gine, he's the peeping tom!" Laphicet revealed shocking Tsukune.
"Gin has been peeping the girls all this time and he made you take the fall, I also figured out the speed part because he's a werewolf for they're known for their superspeed that even vampires can't match." Laphicet explained.
"I get ya, with Moka not trusting me anymore Gin can go after her." Tsukune understand as they run up the stairs.
"That's right, and soon the whole school will know." Laphicet said as they reach the rooftop seeing Moka, Velvet, Kurumu and Yukari wearing detective outfits for some reason, and Gin in his werewolf form.
"Moka!" Tsukuen called out and run toward her.
"Bastard!" Gin charged at Tsukune.
Tsukune narrowly dodges the claws reach toward Moka grabbing her Rosario Cross and taking it off before rolling a few feet more and Moka transform into her true form.
"Velvet, are you alright?" Laphicet asked concern for the Therion girl.
"Yeah, just about to pound this guy to the ground." Velvet said.
"Leave some for me." Inner Moka said before the two charges at Gin to attack, but then he disappeared to their shock.
(Music: Fuuin Kajio, Rosario + Vampire Battle Theme)
"Where are you girls hitting, I'm right here." Gin said standing on top of the small tower of the roof.
"Whoa, Laphicet wasn't kidding about werewolves' speed." Tsukune surprised.
"Moka, I'm gonna make you my she-wolf by showing you how werewolves grow stronger the brighter the moon is, and it's a full moon!" Gin bragged and starts attacking Moka and Velvet with his superspeed forcing the two powerhouse girls on the defense.
"(Oh no, Gin is forcing them against the wall, and they won't keep defending themselves for long.)" Laphicet thought as he tries to come up with a plan to help them.
That's when Laphicet looks up at the full moon and got an idea.
"Let's hope this works." Laphicet said before throwing two talismans into the air and they multiple into several dozens.
"No offense, Velvet, but I prefer Moka than you. Say goodbye!" Gin thrusted his claws at Velvet, but to his surprise she actually caught his arm.
"What the… but how did you?" Gin confused.
"Looks like Laphicet has taken away your moonlight." Velvet smirked as she looks up.
Gin looks up and gasps seeing the moonlight from the full moon being blocked by Laphicet's talismans.
"No way, that little brat actually blocked out the moon. That means my speed is down!" Gin panicked, but soon calms down.
"But it doesn't matter, I'm still fast and I'm not backing down from this fight." Gin determined.
"You're a lot braver than the other idiots we faced. 'll give you that." Velvet complimented before she punched Gin away.
Gin stop himself as Inner Moka jumps above him for a strong drop kick though the werewolf reacted in time and move out of the way letting the leg crush the fence, Gin unleash a barrage of fast punches as Inner Moka blocks them with her arms before knocking them away and side-kick him. Velvet charge at Gin with her demon arm, Gin manage to kick the floor to go above it but he couldn't stop Velvet's normal fist from hitting him on the face before grabbing him with her demonic arm.
"Time to teach you a new trick, play dead!" Velvet slammed Gin on the roof causing a small crater and cracks as Gin gasps of the intense pain from the impact on his body.
(Music End)
"Now, are you going to behave?" Velvet asked.
"Yes… I promise to behave." Gin said before passing out.
(The Next Day)
The newspaper club have released the new story that everyone was shocked to hear, it wasn't just about the swimming club that Gin suggested to post but was also about the club president himself being the peeping tom. Most of the girls he peeped on are now chasing the poor guy to give him a major punishment as he runs for his life.
"Well, I'm glad everything is settled." Laphicet said.
"I still say we should've kicked him out of the club." Velvet stated.
"Now, now, Gin maybe a pervert most of the time, but he's very serious about the newspaper club and did run the place last year." Magilou pointed out.
"I still can't believe you knew it was him the whole time." Kurumu said angry.
"Yeah, you could've just told us from the start." Yukari punted.
"And spoil the fun, no way. Besides, I think you guys would also do better than what happened to the newspaper club last year." Magilou mentioned.
"What happened last year?" Laphicet asked.
"Sorry, but I promise Gin I wouldn't tell. Consider it a last act as his girlfriend before we broke up, you'll have to ask him yourself if you want to know the truth." Magilou said before walking away.
This Laphicet curious about what happened to Gin and the newspaper club last year, but why was he getting a bad feeling about it.
