"Do you think forty percent is enough charge for my phone?"

Moka shrugged as she changed CDs. The vampire was wearing a long sleeved, baby blue blouse. The loose shirt had brown buttons down the ruffled center with blue drawstrings tied in a bow at the base of a lacy white collar. The blouse was tucked in a lacy, cream skirt which hung to her knees. White stockings covered every bit of her legs from the skirt to her feet in those beige canvas sneakers.

Kurumu sighed. She had murdered her battery with one long call to Kabuki, letting the young succubus know that Yukari had confirmed Ms. Garimasu was also her birth mother. The girl had gushed over the revelation, immediately adopting her as big sis and doing her best to catch Kurumu up on the entirety of her life. That had killed over two hours while Moka kept herself and Yukari entertained with her new music collection, listening to both B'Z albums first.

They were seated on a bench in the Kumamoto Airport. Yukari had insisted on this exact spot since it was positioned perfectly near an air vent which made their long wait endurable. Sadly Kurumu's pink halter top shamelessly betrayed her fat, erect nipples due to the chill. She probably should have brought a bra as she had been eye molested countless times since Mrs. Shuzen had dropped them off.

With Moka dead to the world, Kurumu had spent the first hour listening to the first Mr. Children album. She had not thought much about the first few songs but then Cross Road played followed by Innocent World. That had been tearfully nostalgic, having heard both songs before but not recalling their names. The only song name she had recognized on the case had been Tomorrow Never Knows because she had heard it recently at Kiki's birthday party. After listening to the whole CD, she also remembered ES and Seesaw Game. She had high hopes for the second album.

Kurumu uncrossed her legs wrapped in these tight, white denim jeans. Reaching below the bench and ignoring the men enjoying the sight of her cleavage, she tugged the cord free of the convenient outlets mounted to the floor. Moka had her CD player plugged in the other outlet. Wrapping the cord up in her hands, Kurumu opened her lavender purse and dropped it inside.

"Are you liking Glay?"

Yukari made a slight sound, seated on the vampire's other side with one of Moka's earbuds buried in her dark locks. The witch was dressed in a periwinkle tee Kurumu had not seen her wear since before Moka's birthday. The shirt was splattered with glitter and stars while hanging over a knee length pair of denim shorts. Black sneakers with white laces graced the young witch's feet.

"I've never heard music like this before."

"It's older music. I used to hear quite a bit of it."

"From your parents?"

"No. Our chauffeur, Mr. Daisuke, always listened to stations with this kind of music."

Kurumu smiled softly, glancing at the time on her phone before setting it aside. It was a little after two. Without a phone or music, these past two hours had slowly crawled by. Ginei's plane would be touching down in the next twenty or so minutes and he would be with a Fairy Tale agent whom would drive them back to the Estate. Kurumu swung her legs back out, crossing her ankles. She regarded the new platform sneakers she had acquired last week. These comfortable white shoes lacked laces and gave her at least an extra four centimeters if not six. While it was nowhere near as tall as Moka, at least she had been about Akegawa's height.

"Do you think Kokoa is bored to tears in Tokyo?"

"She messaged me after they ate lunch. I have no idea what she is up to now."

Kurumu nodded. Around eleven Kokoa had texted Moka about her arrival with Ms. Fukuda and her friends. They had shared a bunch of hugs before the girls rushed upstairs to pass through the security gate since they were running late. Antai had mentioned them having an eight hour wait in Tokyo before they boarded the plane for Hawaii. Kokoa's group would arrive at the resort tomorrow morning after a twelve hour flight.

"I'm starving."

Moka sighed heavily, pushing an earbud in her left ear.

"At least you had breakfast."

"Half a bagel is enough to make your stomach aware it should have more."

"I would rather starve than eat the complimentary poison they were trying to pass off as breakfast."

Kurumu snorted, leaning her head on Moka's other shoulder.

"We should convince this agent to take us out to a fancy lunch. Something suitable for Yukari's tastes."

"That would be nice."

"With a flight departing at one, most likely they have eaten."

"What was that, Yukari? I couldn't hear you over the growl of my stomach."

"I was saying not to get your hopes up."

Kurumu smiled at Moka.

"We should dress her up after we eat."

"Why?"

"There's a lot of cute things you could find in Yukari's size. I'm not suggesting to go overboard, but you do still have quite a bit of birthday money."

"I have plenty of clothes, Kurumu."

"Yea, but you wanted more mature clothes."

"I suppose I could buy a thing or two if we go into the city."

Yukari peered up at Moka.

"Matching lingerie?"

"Uh… maybe matching pajamas."

"I have lots of pajamas, Moka."

Kurumu chuckled sheepishly.

"You realize when I suggested that I had no thoughts about lingerie. I was thinking fancy dresses."

"I have plenty of clothes, Kurumu. With my recent acquisitions from Ms. Hiboshi and my mother, I doubt I need anything else to clutter up my closet. I donated almost all of the kiddie outfits I had not brought with me to Yokai."

Kurumu paused, thinking of all the clothes she had back on campus. There were so many more things in those boxes in Moka's suite.

"Shouldn't you keep some outfits? Like souvenirs from your childhood?"

"I remember everything, Kurumu. I don't need a bunch of stuff lying around that I have no use for."

Kurumu nodded, wondering if she could fit any of those outfits mommy had left behind.

"I should donate most of mommy's things."

Yukari looked up with wide eyes.

"I wasn't talking about that."

"It's not like I need most of it. She was taller and had a bigger ass so I probably won't fit most of it. And I don't need any of the kitchen junk they boxed up."

"I didn't mean it like that."

Kurumu smiled at Yukari.

"Do you think we could whisk that stuff out of the Estate? I don't want the others getting suspicious about me moving so many boxes."

"What do you mean by whisk?"

"I mean do your magic door trick. I'm sure Moka's door is similar to some places we have been."

Yukari sighed heavily.

"It's not as easy as that. The Estate is inside a barrier, almost identical to the one about Mononoke. I would need a decent sized power source, which would be noticed unless I do it in the dead of the night. Even then, that sort of energy disturbance might wake Rubi and I have no idea how good she would be at keeping your secrets."

Moka squeezed Kurumu's shoulder.

"You can arrange things with Mr. Nagi. It won't be a problem."

Kurumu nodded, thinking she could do that tonight. Looking about, Kurumu noted that the airport was not that busy. People would come in through the nearby vestibule and approach the ticket lines for the different companies. Then they would go upstairs to pass through the security line for the departure gates. Yukari had suggested that they stick to a bench downstairs since passengers getting off the planes had to come down through the baggage area which was off to the right of the ticket lines.

"I hope Ms. Ohno didn't pack any of mommy's lingerie."

Yukari snickered as Moka favored her a sad smile.

"If she did, I don't think you can donate it."

Kurumu nodded, regarding the swell of Moka's bosom.

"You should have worn your black set with that. I doubt it would show through."

"I like that it matches."

"There's no reason to match your lingerie with your blouse color. I think they're supposed to contrast. I should stop wearing my black with black since I'll have a red one soon."

"We should get teddies."

Kurumu frowned at Yukari.

"You've seen my room. I don't need more stuffed animals."

The witch rolled her eyes.

"I'm talking lingerie, Kurumu."

"What's a teddy?"

"It's basically a nightgown and panty as one piece. I've been thinking of getting one ever since Ms. Hiboshi bought me two garter belts. You can clip stocking straps onto a teddy instead."

Kurumu had an idea of what Yukari was talking about, having seen women in those sort of outfits in those smut films mommy used to own. Mommy had thrown all those videos out along with their old television and VHS player during the move, sparing Kurumu the trouble.

"They did have some of those at the lingerie store Ms. Fukuda took us to."

"My Moka would look super sexy in a black lace teddy."

"I think most women do."

"I'm uncomfortable with the thought of buying matching lingerie."

"Yea… I don't know if you're ready for that sort of lingerie, Yukari."

"I'm more than capable of wearing one."

"But you would call anyone a pedophile whom likes how it looks on you."

"That is not the point. Wearing mature things like garter belts make me feel sexier."

Moka's phone chirped from her purse which was resting on the floor next to their bags filled with their yukatas and other festival acquisitions. As Kurumu was closer to these plastic bags, she fished out Moka's purse and handed it over to the vampire. While Moka rummaged through her tote to fetch her phone, Kurumu picked hers up to confirm twenty minutes had passes since her last check.

"It's an unknown number."

"Probably the agent."

"Yea. He says they are off the plane and will be coming down to the baggage claim area."

Kurumu nodded, standing up. She grabbed her purse by the strap along with her bags. She handed over Yukari's bags while Moka popped out her CD to put it back in its case.

"Speaking of numbers, I still haven't asked for Tsukune's."

Kurumu chuckled as Moka wrapped up the black cords for her earbuds about the CD player.

"Neither have I. I bet Yukari knows it."

Yukari huffed.

"I do not."

"I thought you remember everything you see."

"I was not involved in the exchange of numbers, Kurumu. I could give you his mother's number, though I don't know how appropriate that is."

Moka smiled as she stacked up her things on the bench and gestured at Kurumu. Taking the cue, Kurumu handed over Moka's bags so she could put her things away.

"I think we should let Tsukune decide if we can have that number."

"Yea. She probably would be weirded out if one of us randomly called her."

Kurumu waited for Moka to get up before she started walking across the hall. While these shoes made her slightly taller, she still could not cover ground faster than Moka. The vampire easily caught up to her before she had even crossed the hall.

The baggage area was somewhat in the middle of the first floor with ticket lines on the right and the car rentals on the left. It looked like any other baggage area with steel carousels which turned slowly with luggage tossed on the shiny plates. Being a small airport with four gates, there were only two carousels.

Kurumu shivered with a familiar sense of desire. She glanced in his direction, though he moved in a blur. Moka cried out as Ginei wrapped her up in a sudden embrace. Before Kurumu or Yukari could react, the wolf's hands cupped Moka's rump and gave it a squeeze which lifted the vampire off her toes.

"Unhand her!"

Ginei laughed, hopping back from Yukari's scowl. Moka blushed fiercely as she smoothed out her skirt.

"Sorry. I could not pass by the opportunity."

Ginei grinned, stuffing one hand in the pocket of his black corduroy cargos. He was wearing the short sleeved pink satin dress shirt from that day of the fight against Rubi's master. A white hairband pushed his dark locks back from his mischievous eyes.

"I can hex you without anyone knowing the difference."

"Ooo… scary."

Kurumu stepped up to him, wrapping her arms about his torso. He laughed as she breathed in deep, resting her head on his shoulder. She felt his hands grip her ass firmly but she let him have his moment. She sighed, feeling a swirl of emotions coil about her heart. She wished they were back at school.

"Normally wouldn't complain about a girl whom is either wearing thongs or nothing beneath this lovely denim, but I get the feeling something is up."

Kurumu sighed again.

"That better not be a dick joke."

His hands became gentler, slipping up to her waist and pushing her back slightly.

"No. Your aura is off. This feels serious."

There was no tightness or difficulty to breathe. Just inexplicable tears rolling down her cheeks.

"What did you do now?"

Kurumu lifted her head off his shoulder, regarding the speaker. So much emotion hit her upon seeing Tora standing there. The sphinx had her raven hair worked up in the usual braids about the side of her head. Tora rolled her jade eyes as she stalked over in black loafers. A dark green cardigan was draped over a white dress shirt with a wide collar. The buttoned up, short sleeved shirt was tucked in a black denim skirt which stretched to her calves.

As his grip was loose, Kurumu effortlessly left his side to spring over to Tora. Wearing these sneakers, she was slightly taller than the girl whom she startled with her sudden embrace. She felt one hand gingerly touch her back as she started to weep against the soft cardigan fabric.

"I can't leave you alone for two minutes."

"Don't worry over Kurumu, Ms. Nazohashi. She's a crybaby."

Tora laughed softly, relaxing against Kurumu. She shook her head as she rubbed Kurumu's back with a palm and a fist.

"That's not nice, Ms. Sendou."

"I'm surprised you are here. We knew about Ginei but…"

"Someone volunteered my presence."

"I didn't expect anything to happen."

Tora clapped Kurumu's back. Her hands slid to Kurumu's arms and she pushed back gently. The sphinx held her purple clutch in her right hand, explaining some of the awkwardness. Taking in a deep breath, Kurumu allowed the sphinx some space. Withdrawing one hand, Kurumu rubbed her eyes and smiled.

"Why are you here?"

"My mother told me I had to. It appears our escort can be very convincing."

Kurumu frowned, turning to Ginei.

"You do know that we are being sent to Okinawa, right?"

Ginei grinned, placing his hands beneath his head.

"Yes. I hear something bad might happen to Lady Otonashi. I guess we have some crooked Fairy Tale officer causing grief and we're supposed to put him down."

Tora sighed, shaking her head.

"And for some reason, Senior believes I would be useful."

"Hey, you've got as much battle experience as the rest of these girls."

"I hardly consider my participation to have been crucial to the success of any of our problems."

"I also suggested Haiji, Kousuke and Kitajima. I figure if it involved Lady Otonashi, they would want in on a piece of the action."

"None of which are present."

Ginei shrugged.

"I guess that's the luck of being in the neighborhood, Tora. She did say she would pass word on to an associate whom works in Niigata to get Ms. Nekonome on board to create the illusion of a school trip."

Kurumu paused.

"She? Who's she?"

"Our escort. She's taking a piss break."

"How crude."

"Her words. Not mine."

"I concede that she is surprisingly gruff. No reason to use that as an excuse for rude remarks."

"Whatever. All I know is the gods of luck are smiling on me. I was so bummed out with us not being able to have a great summer outing like I wanted."

"Because someone decided to use all of his time and resources on a pointless popularity contest."

"That's in the past. Right now we have a bright future and an amazing summer trip to train for."

Moka frowned, glancing at Yukari.

"Train?"

"We have to train if we are going to put the hurt on some bad Fairy Tale agents. This is serious stuff. These guys won't be a bunch of punk kids like we've been facing at Yokai. Someone could get hurt."

All the girls shared looks of disbelief.

"I think a lot of us were hurt, Ginei."

"Unlike someone whom did nothing."

"Hey, I took a couple licks in that fight with Kuyo."

Yukari glared at Ginei, shaking her head.

"I doubt you could provide any worthwhile training."

"I think every girl present could work a bit on their reflexes. I have some exercises in mind which could vastly improve all of your physical combat skills."

"I'll pass. Point me in the right direction and I'll disintegrate any whom oppose me."

Ginei chuckled, stalking over to tousle Yukari's locks.

"That's fine by me. I had no interest in wasting my talents on you."

Kurumu smiled as Yukari caused Ginei to fall on his side with the flick of her wrist. Ginei bounced back up on his feet before Yukari could finish turning aside with her arms crossed about her chest in a huff.

"Are you seriously getting Ms. Nekonome involved in this?"

Ginei hauled Yukari off her feet, eliciting a startled squeak. He tossed the witch over to Moka, whom smoothly caught the witch. Spinning on his heel, Ginei grinned.

"It sounded necessary. We can't show up with an obvious Fairy Tale agent without some form of cover."

"Obvious agent? Whom is your escort?"

"There she is."

Following the direction of Ginei's gaze, Kurumu quickly spied a fiery haired woman walking away from the stairs. The woman had on a textured, gray blazer over a yellow pleated blouse which strained under her ginormous assets. The blouse ended perfectly with a wide hem at the start of her black capris. Her wavy hair cascaded down her back as she approached them.

Kurumu instantly knew this woman was a succubus. The way she drew the eyes of every man in the vicinity away from Kurumu assured her of this. Kurumu struggled to recall the names of the Kansai agents, knowing one of them was older. She had her doubts about this being the older one.

The woman came over next to Tora and regarded Kurumu. She was tall. Even without those white heels the succubus would be at least Tsukune's height, though maybe not as tall as Ms. Juunan. The woman tugged down her dark sunglasses, peering at her with yellow eyes which had a glint like topaz gems.

"So this is the girl."

"Yes, Ms. Aimai. This is Kurono Kurumu, our friend whom is a succubus."

Those eyes measured Kurumu up before turning away.

"You must be Akashiya, the princess I'm to babysit."

Moka bowed her head slightly.

"Um… yes. I'm Akashiya Moka. My friend here is Sendou Yukari."

"Aimai Anzu. I'm going to be posing as your second escort, since I understand you need two."

"How will that work?"

Kurumu knew how it would work before Ms. Aimai instantly became Ms. Yoshino, Ginei's homeroom teacher. While her clothes remained the same, there was a notable breast reduction and her eyes lost their sparkle in favor of a softer, faint yellow. Her long wavy hair had become an auburn tail with a proud pompadour and her facial features had become more foxlike.

"I can be any teacher you need me to be. Even male if you want. I don't give a shit."

"I would certainly prefer a woman."

The succubus glared at Ginei.

"Fetch the bags, pup."

Ginei dutifully hurried off to the carousel.

"Did you charm him?"

Ms. Aimai regarded Kurumu sternly.

"I'm only here to make sure the princess doesn't get killed. That's it. I'm not here to take the initiative and do what you're supposed to do."

"I find it rather unsettling that a bunch of adults feel a situation is best handled by high school kids."

The woman turned her gaze on Yukari.

"I won't pretend to understand the logic behind Mrs. President's decision here. Something about this being the best chance of killing off that Kamiya bastard."

"We're not murderers, Ms. Aimai."

"Pardon me, princess. I forgot that killing monstrels is the same as taking out the trash."

Moka flinched, looking down at the floor. Yukari scowled, wagging a finger at Ms. Aimai.

"You don't understand that situation."

"I understand that Kamiya is a fucking coward. He'll see a bunch of kids and think you're weak. Easy prey. He'll try to kill you and then you'll defend yourselves."

"But this is not the same. We didn't deliberately put ourselves in danger."

The succubus shrugged at Tora.

"I haven't ruled out the possibility that I will do the killing. If it helps, think of yourselves as willing bait."

"Hardly a comfort."

"I don't give a shit. Life sucks. You deal with the cards you're given. Fairy Tale got hit hard at the start of summer break. Lots of kids coming home to funerals. Count yourselves lucky."

Kurumu clutched her hand to her breast.

"Yea. Lucky."

"As far as I'm concerned, this is a long overdue vacation. I'm going to sit on a beach and work on my tan. Maybe fuck a guy or two."

"I'm always willing and able."

The woman turned her attention back to Ginei whom had arrived with the luggage. Two suitcases were on rollers which he held by their extended handles. One was crimson while the other was the faded blue suitcase Tora had brought on their school trip. He had two schoolbags slung by their straps across his neck and shoulders along with his blue duffle bag.

"I prefer a full course meal. A scrawny virgin like you is not much of an appetizer."

Ginei chuckled, rolling the crimson case forward and tilting it up.

"Every man has to start somewhere. I would be an eager student."

Ms. Aimai smirked, allowing her body to return to its original presentation. Grabbing her crimson case by the handle, the woman looked him over.

"I'm older than your mother."

"Age is just a number."

Yukari snorted.

"That's something a pedophile would say."

"Follow me, children. I have to rent our car."

The woman turned about, her heels clipping on the polished floor as she retreated from the area. Kurumu hurried after the woman with the others not far behind.

"Ms. Aimai? I'm curious about something."

"What is it, Ms. Kurono?"

"You changed your appearance in a room full of people."

The woman shook her head as they entered the main hall.

"No. I changed my appearance for a small group of kids."

"But I just-"

"I've been doing this for years, Ms. Kurono. I'm not a shapeshifter. It's an illusion and I can pick and choose whom I'm fooling if I so desire."

"That's impressive, Ms. Aimai. Could you teach me the variables of that illusion?"

The succubus glanced over at Yukari as they strolled into the area with the car rental companies. Like Ms. Kiyoshi, the woman strolled over to the desk for Toyota Rentals.

"I suppose I don't have much else to do prior to the trip."

"May I help you?"

The succubus smiled at the short haired man standing behind the counter. She pulled a black leather clutch out of her pocket.

"Lexus sedan under a reservation for Ms. Aimai."

"Yes Ma'am."

The man started punching in keys while regarding the terminal before him. The succubus popped open her clutch and pulled out a black card, placing it on the counter.

"Moka. I saw that you had a phone."

Kurumu turned about and smiled. Tora had pulled her silver phone out and was presenting it to Moka.

"Yea. Kurumu got one too."

"She did?"

Moka nodded as she reached into her plastic bag to fish for her phone. Seizing the opportunity, Kurumu opened up her lavender purse and promptly pulled out her black phone. Grinning, Kurumu stepped over to the sphinx.

"I'm assuming you have the numbers for Tsukune, Kana and Kamitsuku."

Ginei chuckled as Moka retrieved her phone.

"Girls and their phones."

"It's called the modern age, Ginei. I would have asked for yours."

"I don't know if you could handle my digits."

Tora rolled her eyes, shaking her head. She traded Kurumu's phone for her purple clutch, flipping the phone open and scrolling through the menu.

"I can text over the numbers for the others."

"We should warn you that Tsukune, Mizore and Rubi are all back at the Estate."

Tora paused to frown at Kurumu.

"They are? Why don't you have his number?"

"We forgot to ask."

Tora smirked, shaking her head. She finished tapping the keys on her phone and handed Kurumu's back. The sphinx turned slightly, taking Moka's phone from her.

"My next question would have been if he had forgot his phone but I suppose you wouldn't know. I'm guessing he was brought up for the wedding along with Kurumu and somehow Mizore tagged along."

"Something like that."

"More to the story?"

"There always is."

Tora chuckled as she handed Moka's phone back.

"Naturally. Did either of those two remember their schoolwork?"

"They brought their schoolbags."

The sphinx nodded as she continued to work the buttons of her silver phone.

"Remember to save my number to your contacts. I guess we have a lot of catching up to do."

Kurumu smiled as her phone announced she had a text.

"Yea… but can we first get something to eat."

August 15th

Hello, Nerume.

Today I spent hours rehashing these last couple weeks of summer, so you should thank Tora and Ginei for helping me straighten out the craziness I've endured since leaving Yokai Academy. To think I was worried about my summer being boring, figuring a week of isolation with my mother and maybe a couple days with Tsukune before I spent the rest of my summer training to become the best maid possible for Kokoa.

I'll start out with my thanks for the birthday wishes. I got your letter on the day before the wedding so I'm sorry for the delayed response. The wedding was super busy and I was completely out of it most of the following day. Yesterday was the memorial service for Moka's birth mother so there hasn't been much free time to write you. If Mizore had not walked in while I was doing my tennis article tonight, I would have forgotten entirely about my promise to write you today.

Sequential order seems the best way so I will say I started my summer off with my mother taking me on a date in Niigata. We saw the aquarium and watched the new Star Wars movie. She bought me a purse and this pretty cup which I was told is a yunomi. It's marked up with a design which identifies it as a cup from Niigata. I was thinking I might start collecting them, since I have four now. Technically five, but I don't count the one we found for Kumamoto. I'm sure we will find a better one this week.

I'm wandering. Sorry. Anyways, Yukari came for me after my date with mommy. We had an early birthday before we took a train to Yamagata where Tsukune lives. His house is in the center of the city, right next to Kajo Park. His mother was nice. His father was fatherly, I guess. I think they liked me.

Mizore was there and things were a little awkward since Tsukune had not warned his parents about the possibility of her staying. I wish we could have gotten along better, though it probably would not have made much of a difference. Mizore is so delicate in the summer. We couldn't have brought her with us to the amusement park as I know she would have passed out from the heat.

On my birthday I went on a date with Tsukune to Lina World. It was fun. We were hanging out with his older cousin, Kyoko. Yukari acted like she hated all rides but I think she enjoyed it. We picked up another yunomi for Yamagata after the date. It was nice.

The next day Mizore tried to hang out with us. Kyoko was with two of her high school friends, both girls. We wandered about the city, looking at all the places Tsukune had frequented while growing up. I saw both his junior high and elementary schools. We also visited an arcade, a bowling alley and an indoor pool. We should have gone swimming but I left my swimsuit back at Yokai. I'm such a dummy.

That night Moka dropped in with Kokoa. I was being brought to the Estate for an emergency operation. I'm so blessed. So very blessed. You know that organ which was broken from the fight. The one I need to make babies with. They put a new one in me. Some young succubus girl died in Iromori, this monster town in Kumamoto with a school like Yokai. It had to be done right away.

A couple days later we went to Ms. Sugawara Emi's funeral. She's the girl whom died. It was the first funeral I've ever been to. I didn't like it very much. I was very sad the whole day. I was very sad most of last week. Those days before Tsukune arrived were kind of a blur.

I keep forgetting that this was not common news. My mother made a deal with Kokoa's mother that I would become a ward of their estate in exchange for this operation. Kokoa's mother likes succubi. She has a bunch of them working for her. I've met six of them. Gorgeous women. Some are really nice. Some are not as happy about the world. I guess that happens when you live a long time.

Tora and Ginei were both surprised to learn this. I don't think I have told Tsukune about it. Or Mizore. I probably should. Yea. Anyways, my mother is now going to work with Ms. Ontai in Tottori, where we used to live. I'm sure she's annoyed, having moved to Niigata only to move right back. A succubus whom works the Niigata area helped clean out our place in Hekitawa and dumped a whole bunch of mommy's things on me that she left behind. I'll be donating most of it, since I have no use for it.

I won't be seeing mommy that much anymore. But that's okay. I'm a big girl almost capable of taking care of myself. We all grow out of our parents. I hope you do too.

There are some benefits to my new change in guardianship. After spending a night in a luxurious hot springs resort, we went shopping for shoes, lingerie and phones. I finally have pretty bras. I got them special ordered with the front clasps in different colors and a couple strapless ones too. They are being shipped to the school. And I love my new shoes. I got some platform sneakers, booties, sandals and Mary Janes. I wanted a pair of heels but Ms. Kiyoshi suggested wedges for now.

Having a phone is really cool. I know you probably can't get one, having a big family and not much use for one. I'm sure Kaigan is in a barrier without phone services so it would mostly be useless. But it's neat having a camera. And texting is convenient. There's these two succubi girls I've met. Sort of. I didn't actually meet Saikou since she lives with her mother in Hokkaido. But she's Ms. Kiyoshi's niece. That's the lady whom picked me up at Tsukune's house. Saikou is a darling twelve year old succubus attending human schools. Lovely, energetic and talkative girl.

The other is Kabuki whom is nine. I met her at the funeral. Her mother works in the Kochi prefecture. She has the same birth mother as I do, so we're like half-sisters. She talked my battery to death this morning. She also lives with humans.

I spent a day with Moka's older sister, Akua. She's in this secret facility doing work for Kokoa's mother. She doesn't speak Japanese very well, but she was with Deshi from school. I guess Deshi was enrolled at Yokai to keep an eye on Moka. Akua cares a lot about her sister because she worries that Kokoa's mother doesn't care about Moka.

I don't know if that is true or not. Yesterday we attended a memorial for Moka's birth mother. I do think Kokoa's mother does care about Moka in her own way. I think there's a lot of pain there, but vampires are all about strength.

I'm getting out of order. I should talk about the wedding first. Kahlua's wedding was this big affair. The Shuzen household is huge. There were eight elders each with their own families. It was very formal.

Moka's father made a surprise appearance. I know it should not be a surprise for a father to show up for the wedding of one of his daughters. I should mention that Moka's father is also the father to Akua, Kahlua and Kokoa. The man had girls with three different women. I guess that is normal with vampires if the man in question is very strong and respected.

Anyways, he asked for custody of Moka which she turned down. It was weird since he did not stay for the party afterwards. He claims Kokoa's mother hindered his ability to return but he was using an alias and has become Fairy Tale's commander of the Kanto Region. The whole situation is confusing and he killed one of the men at the wedding lunch for no good reason.

I skipped a day. Yes. The day before the wedding is when all four of Kokoa's friends arrived. That's also when Yukari and Tsukune arrived. Yukari had a pretty yunomi from Miyagi given to her by Ms. Kiyoshi. Mizore and Rubi were with them.

Good news is that my new organ responded to Tsukune. Bad news is that I'm going to get all horny and silly in a few days. I'm very nervous about asking the succubus whom is currently watching over us the specifics of, well, masturbating. I don't know what else I would call it. I don't know if I'm supposed to open up my tail and fool with my stigma till something happens. I mean, sure, if it works like a penis, that's the right way. Maybe she will be nice about it. She did give me a yunomi for Hyogo.

I can't say I've had much interaction with Tsukune since he arrived. Kokoa's mother wanted him here, but he was not asked to attend the wedding or the memorial. Mizore came to the memorial with me. She took off her panties and wanted me to put my baby in her. She's so silly.

We were wearing yukatas yesterday. I've never worn one before. I bought mine in Yamagata the day after my birthday. Mommy didn't take us to festivals because they were too crowded. The last time I went to a festival was in Kengamine with my first boyfriend. It was nothing special. This was nicer since I was with Moka and Yukari. I'll send you pictures of the wedding and the festival with my next letter. Tora says we can take thumb drives to a printing service so I can print out all these pictures I've taken with my phone.

I guess I'm pretty much caught up. Kokoa and her four friends are still waiting for their plane in Tokyo. That's crazy. They have a long wait for their plane to Hawaii. Her mother wanted Kokoa to have a fun summer with her new friends. I won't see Milady until the day before school.

As for us, Ginei is putting together an official club trip for us. I guess Ms. Nekonome will be arriving next weekend with a few of Ginei's old friends. We will be going to Okinawa to visit the former newspaper club president, Lady Otonashi. Naturally he has these big plans to write a flashy article which will trump the popularity contest.

I really love Moka and Yukari. They've been so much help to keep me grounded throughout the week. I'm sure you feel the same way about Chisa and Satsuki. Life can be rough at times. We have to hold onto each other to make it through.

When school starts back up, I'm going to try and help Chisa and Satsuki more. Satsuki won't be so hard since we share homeroom and I have plenty of excuses to visit the new PSC members. I'm going to try and push Asuka more to Chisa. Maybe we can all be better friends. I think I'm friends with Suzume and Hatoko. I also like Uchikawa, Bikiyama and Matsudera. Hazumi is in my homeroom and Taijin is not far from Asuka's side. It's funny. The first years from track were my first push into society. I didn't expect to end up thinking of them as friends.

There's a chance that you won't get this letter before the end of the week. One of the men working here takes our letters up to Iromori to be sent off, so it could take days. I don't think you should respond to this address. If you want to write me letters, go ahead and send them to my suite at the school. It will be a nice surprise to come home to your letter.

Yokai Academy feels like my home now. I can't pretend that this fancy estate is my home. I promise I will write you a letter the day I get back to school. I'm sure I will have something special to report about our adventure in Okinawa.

Oh, I completely forgot to mention that Tsukune bought me a CD player and Moka bought me a laptop for my birthday. Not even kidding. Yukari dumped the article software on my laptop, making it so easy to work on my articles now. I'm going to finish my tennis article tomorrow and I might even do my judo article too. It really depends on how serious Ginei is about training our reflexes this week. I'm unsure what he has in mind, but I'm skeptical over how useful it will be.

I also would like you to make a list of CDs I should consider picking up. I only have three, though I'm sure I can borrow anything from Moka. She bought herself a laptop and CD player too. Right now she's curled up on the couch with Yukari, listening to Southern All Stars. She'll probably fall asleep since it's already after eight.

I'm running out of things to say. I hope you're having fun with your family. I hope they're not making you uncomfortable about your situation. I hope you're going to have a great experience when you attend your new school. I know you will make lots and lots of friends. Because you're a beautiful soul, Nerume. A beautiful girl doesn't deserve to be chained down by one bad thing.

I miss you. Love you.

Take care.
