I do not own Rosario Vampire or any of the characters.
Training
Damon frowned as he watched Ruby walk away. She was under orders to train Tsukune to control himself while using his powers, that way, the Holy Lock wouldn't break whenever he fights. The problem with that was the fact that in the mean time, Ruby would be serving as a sort of lightning rod for his Supernatural Energy, and would get a nasty shock every time he messed up. She'd probably enjoy the pain, masochist that she was, but he still didn't like the idea of one of his friends being hurt at all.
"She'll be okay," Mizore said. "And I'm not sure I like you worrying about other girls."
"Why?" Damon asked. "I died and came back to life both for you, and I'm dating you. What do you have to be jealous of?"
Mizore smiled. "Fair point." She slipped the sucker out of her mouth so she could kiss him and he smiled, leaning into the kiss, ignoring the light sting of her cold lips against his.
After a few seconds, she pulled away, putting the sucker back into her mouth and he smiled.
"Are you two going to make out all day, or can we actually do some training today?" Cocoa demanded.
"Cocoa!" Moka gasped.
Damon smirked. "That desperate to be put in your place, Cocoa? Alright. Fine. I'll happily teach you some manners. Study hard, little vampire trash."
Cocoa smirked, transforming her small bat thing, Kou, into a massive hammer, charging at him with it. He chuckled, walking forward calmly.
"No matter how many times we train, you never learn," Damon smirked. "Brute Force will never be enough to beat me."
She swung the hammer down at him and he raised a hand, catching it one-handed easily, the ground below him shattering and dropping into a crater. She snarled, turning and swinging it around herself in a circle, only for him to again catch it with only his left hand, the ground to his right exploding in a wave away from him.
"Has it set in yet that I was able to defeat Kahlua with only half my strength without going all out?" Damon asked. "Haven't you ever wondered why?"
"Shut up!" Cocoa shouted, spinning in the opposite direction, only for Damon to sigh, allowing the hammer to hit him, only for it to once again do nothing to him, despite it shattering the ground.
Damon stepped forward this time, right hand grabbing the hammer's shaft as his left picked Cocoa up by the throat. "Listen well, little Vampire. I was going to wait and let you figure this out on your own, but you obviously won't. Brute Force isn't everything. Werewolves, for one, prove that by outmatching vampires' strength with their speed. My kind is another example. All of the strongest monsters, all S-rank or above, hold aces up their sleeves. However, Fire Devils hold two, and both of them are the ace of spades. Firstly, our defense. Brute force doesn't work against us like it does everyone else, because our bodies are more than three times more durable than a normal monster's. Our scales range from anywhere between five times more durable than the average monster's bones, to fifty times more durable, virtually indestructible. Naturally, such a durable body also allows for our strikes to be vastly more devastating. Our second ace, however, is that we are able amplify our own supernatural energy, allowing us to increase our strength and speed. It's not like a Vampire's strength. Converting supernatural energy into pure strength or speed is definitely superior. Moka's true form, for example, can achieve roughly ten times her natural strength. Probably more if she's mad. You can achieve five or six times your natural strength. Fire Devils can reach about three to five, dependent on their skill, training, and natural ability. The same is true for our speed against that of a werewolf."
"So where do you fall along the power scale?" Cocoa asked, kicking his arm upward and spinning, throwing a kick, only for him to catch her and spin, hurling her before hurling Kou after her.
She flipped, landing on her feet, then caught the hammer's shaft, glaring at Damon.
"My strength and speed boosts are roughly four times normal," Damon said. "Barely above average for a Fire Devil."
"You say that like that's not amazing," Kurumu said.
Damon smirked. "You have to remember that Fire Devils are a species normally wholly devoted to destruction and conflict. Being average is considered a dishonor to your family, and places you at best as a grunt."
"But you were a general," Mizore said. "Was it because of your family?"
"No," Damon said. "It was because I'm a little different than most Fire Devils. Not only are my scales thirty times more durable than a lesser monster's bones, placing them among the hardest on record, but I also was born with a prodigious level of control over my abilities. Forming my scales, releasing my power and speed in short bursts. I excel at combat, because I found small methods of increasing my power. Kurumu, If you have to move a heavy object, do you get further by pulling as hard as you can over a long period, or by yanking it as hard as you can for one good pull several times."
"Yanking," Kurumu said. "Although, you have less control of how it moves then."
"That's true," Damon said. "But that part is irrelevant. Most Fire Devils learn to increase their power and speed by amplifying their abilities constantly. However, I was too weak to be worthy of my own family by doing that. So I cheated. I taught myself to control my abilities to the absolute most finite. I learned to amplify my supernatural energy within the split second that my fist makes contact with my target, and the release creates a sort of explosive effect. Observe. When amplified constantly..." he knelt, punching the ground and sending cracks flying over it, "versus when amplified at the exact moment of impact." He punched the ground again, but this time, the ground exploded.
Everyone stared in awe.
"That's amazing!" Moka said.
"I suggest you try practicing with it while you're sealed," Damon said. "Hopefully, the sealed version of yourself will pick it up as well. And Cocoa, you need to learn it if you hope to ever beat me. You should be able to do it as well, but since vampires' strength is far greater than mine, you're definitely not testing it on me once you've learned it. The last thing I need is for some pathetic vermin to accidentally kill me just because I taught them to fight properly."
Cocoa and Moka both nodded. They began to both practice controlling their strength and Damon turned to Mizore, who looked nervous. Damon smiled.
"It's alright," Damon said. "You won't hurt me this time. Since you're in control, and I'm able to focus on you entirely, you won't hurt me."
Mizore hesitated before nodding, extending her claws. Then, she charged, slashing at him rapidly, Damon avoiding her claws and blocking her strikes at her forearms. He could tell she was still hesitating, but she was trying. The hesitation wasn't intentional, it was born from her caring about him, and he would never admit how much that made his heart warm. He blocked and dodged rapidly, striking back lightly when she left an opening, not hurting her, but showing her that she had made a mistake. Finally, she managed to hook her foot around one of his, sending him staggering backward, then leapt at him. However, at the last second, his tail shot out, wrapping around her arms and torso, flipping them and pinning her to the ground before retracting, remaining out but not holding her down. Instead, his arms were now holding hers, and his legs were pinning hers.
She sighed. "I got overconfident."
"Yes," he nodded, smiling. "But you are good. You're fast. You're naturally flexible, you're clever and creative, and your powers are hard to counter."
She smiled. "Thank you."
He smiled, eyes drifting over her face for a moment before he leaned down, capturing her lips with his own. She sighed, kissing him back as her claws faded, allowing him to slip his hands into hers. However, after a few minutes, Kurumu finally cleared her throat.
"Combat practice now," Kurumu said. "Fun practice later."
Damon rolled his eyes and stood, pulling Mizore up, giving her another quick kiss before turning back to Kurumu and the others. "Alright Kurumu. Let's see what those illusions of yours can do."
"Oh please," Kurumu said. "We both know you're immune to illusions."
Damon smiled and nodded. "Very good. You remembered. Shall we?"
Kurumu grinned and shot forward, claws extending, only for Damon to appear behind her, grabbing her by the ankle and yanking her backward, grabbing her by the throat and slamming her to the ground.
"Too slow," Damon said. "I expected better."
Kurumu growled, slashing at him, narrowly missing, before launching herself after him, hacking and slashing at him rapidly, Damon dodging her claws again and again. Then, finally, he stepped forward, as she lunged, slamming his forehead into hers and dropping her. However, just as he opened his mouth to gloat, he leapt backward, Moka and Mizore both striking at him, Moka with a kick and Mizore with a set of stone claws she was suddenly wearing that were shaped like hers. Damon grinned, nodding, and shot forward, beginning to fight the two of them, then Kurumu and Cocoa as well when they both joined in. He laughed as he spun, each hand and his tail swinging someone before hurling all three at the fourth. This was more fun than he thought.
Damon walked through the doorway even before the Headmaster had finished speaking. It was an alternate dimension where the Headmaster had been storing dangerous, nearly-extinct monsters. It was also where Ruby was training with Tsukune. The Headmaster wanted them all to go check on him and Ruby.
As soon as Damon was inside, Mizore's hand slipped into his, she also not bothering to listen to the Headmaster's explanation. After a couple of minutes of walking, they spotted Tsukune and Ruby. Tsukune was trying to protect the pair from a horde of monsters using a whip that drew out his supernatural energy. However, as Ruby had explained before, in doing so, the excess energy was transferred through the handcuffs on his right wrist to Ruby, who was sitting on her knees off to the side, electrocuting her. However, unlike what Damon had been worried about, she wasn't in pain. On the contrary, she was loving it, moaning and crying out in pleasure, entire body beginning to tense up and tremble. Damon raised an eyebrow just as Ruby suddenly jerked, arching her back as she snapped.
"Damon! AAAHHH! ! !" Ruby all but screamed before beginning to orgasm from the pain of being shocked by Tsukune's supernatural energy.
"What a slut," Damon said, he and Mizore walking toward her.
"She's in love with you," Mizore said.
"I know," Damon said. "And I'm in love with you. So her feelings don't matter to me."
Mizore smiled, resting her head on his shoulder. "You can sleep with her too, if you want. Just as long as you love me more."
"No, I'm fine," Damon smiled. "You're all I need."
She smiled even wider as they stopped, Damon taking his hand back and squatting down, raising an eyebrow at Ruby, whose face turned a deep crimson instantly.
"I-It's not what you think!" Ruby stammered. "I-I swear it's not!"
"No?" Damon asked. "So you're not a kinky, masochistic slut who just orgasmed from being electrocuted?"
Ruby's face darkened.
"To think Ruby, who seemed the most sophisticated one of us, was actually the most perverted," Kurumu snorted, walking over to them with the rest of the girls.
Damon smirked as Ruby covered her face, wailing in embarrassment. He looked down at the chain, then over at Tsukune before picking up the chain. Nothing. No Supernatural Energy was flowing through it. Tsukune had leaned how to control himself already.
"Damn Ruby," Damon snorted. "Your orgasms are magic. You cum for the kid one time and suddenly he can control his powers."
Ruby again wailed in embarrassment, calling him an ass for making fun of her. Damon chuckled, sitting down beside her as Mizore sat in his lap. Then, she reached over, taking one of Ruby's hands and taking Damon's other one, making them lace their fingers together. Damon raised an eyebrow, looking up at him, the others all suddenly finding the unconscious monsters around them very interesting.
"What's up?" Damon asked.
"It's not fair that she feel alone," Mizore said.
"Life's not fair," Damon said. "I told you, I only need you. I don't want anyone else."
Mizore smiled, kissing him before pulling back. "I don't want her to have to suffer watching the man she loves be with someone else and ignore her. I know how that feels, and I don't want her to have to suffer that."
"Mizore..." Ruby breathed.
"I don't want to share you," Mizore said, "but more than that, I don't want to be the cause of someone suffering the way I have. I love you, and I don't have to suffer anymore because I can be with you. So as long as you never stop loving me, and as long as I'm your first choice, I don't mind you having Ruby as a backup."
Damon watched her for a few moments before sighing. "Mizore, I have no interest in having anyone besides you."
Mizore rolled her eyes. "Alright then." She turned, grabbing Ruby by the head and pulling her into a kiss.
Damon's mouth fell open as his eyes nearly bugged out of his head, the others all staring in shock as well, beside Tsukune, and Ruby sighed, kissing Mizore back after a moment. Finally, Mizore released her.
"If you don't want her, then I'll take her for myself," Mizore said. "Or, you can stop acting like a human, and you can admit that the devil in you is more than willing to enjoy polygamy with permission."
Damon watched her for a moment before reaching up and taking the sucker out of her mouth, kissing her hard. Mizore whimpered quietly, melting into the kiss for several long seconds before Damon pulled away and held up the sucker, Mizore closing her lips around it, watching him with one raised eyebrow.
"I don't care to have anyone but you," Damon said. "But if you decide that you want to get a sex toy, who am I to say know?"
"Don't call her a toy!" Cocoa snapped.
"Thank you!" Ruby cheered, hugging both of them.
"Don't agree to be his toy!" Kurumu snapped.
"Fair warning, Ruby," Mizore said as the witch pulled back. "You're not allowed to touch him until we give you permission."
"Understood," Ruby nodded. "I exist to follow orders."
"Don't demean yourself like that!" Cocoa and Kurumu both snapped.
"Good," Mizore said, just as Tsukune finished the last of the monsters and collapsed, groaning tiredly.
"Come on," Damon said. "We're supposed to be training too."
Just then, Moka picked up the whip Tsukune had dropped and Damon froze, an excited grin growing onto his face as he turned, staring at the silver hair falling down her back.
"What luck," Damon grinned. "Hello there Moka. I challenge you to a sparring session in a couple of days, with that whip allowing you to be you."
Moka smirked at him. "Sure. I suppose I can whoop your ass a bit."
"Mhm," Damon smirked. "Sure you will."
Her smirk grew as Damon, Mizore, and Ruby all turned, walking back out of the dimension.
