Yesterday was wonderful. I got to fight without any restraints and we got a cool topic for today's paper. The headline reads: "Thieves invade the school; Arrested the same day." Their boss said they were professional thieves, but they seemed to lack battle experience and common sense.

As we all stand in the courtyard passing out newspapers I read part of the paper, "A group of three thieves invaded Yokai academy and attacked the students. After a fierce battle, they were arrested and sent to a rehabilitation facility." This is some pretty good stuff. Moka and Yukari sure know what they're doing.

After passing out all of the newspapers in a surprisingly short amount of time we head back to the Newspaper Club room to celebrate our first paper of the semester. To celebrate our great success, we all collect our different cans filled with our favorite drinks and as they clank together we shout, "Cheers! Good job everyone!"

Kurumu seems more than pleased with herself, giving off a cheeky smile as she says, "This issue of The Yokai Newspaper was really popular. I'm soooo happy!"

Tsukune looks through the paper some more, reading each page carefully as he notes, "It's the fruits of our labor. I also thought it was pretty well done. Of course Moka's illustrations and Yukari's layout were good too!"

Moka and Yukari seem to be taking the compliment pretty well while blushing.

Kurumu however is just as desperate for attention as usual, clinging onto Tsukune's arm while saying, "Tsukuuune! Praise the cooking corner I wrote too!"

From across the room, Mizore asks for attention as well, saying, "My novel series too, Tsukune."

Man, they all just need too much attention for this guy to handle. I look over to see Kokoa reading an issue of today's newspaper. When did she even get in here and who let her in?

As she reads the paper over, the redhead asks, "But isn't this odd? Wasn't it Reiji who took down these thieves? So why isn't any of that written down anywhere?"

"Well, I just took down one of them. Tsukune fucked up one of them while Mizore and Kurumu fucked up that Minator guy.", I reply after taking a sip from my can.

"That's okay, the purpose of The Newspaper Club isn't to praise those who fought, but to inform the reader of what happened.", Kurumu explains to the short vampire, earning a slight growl from Kokoa. Kurumu then asks the vampire, "By the way, why are you, a non-member, in here, Kokoa?"

Clearly shaken up by her questioning, Kokoa takes a few steps away from the succubus before Yukari adds, "Oh I get it. Kokoa want to join us in The Newspaper Club!"

Kokoa is surprisingly shocked by this claim, but it makes sense since her older sister is in the same club. Kurumu and Yukari basically jump down her throat while Kurumu shouts, "Whaaaat!? You should join. There haven't been any freshmen to join yet!"

Yukari follows up with, "You're welcome! I finally get an underclassman!"

Kurumu, Yukari, Moka and Tsukune all jump the gun and put up a sign saying 'Welcome to the Newspaper Club!' while shooting off tiny confetti cannons to 'welcome' her to the club.

The prideful vampire finally reaches her limit and Kokoa shouts, "Wait a minute!", as she tries to back peddle her way out of this situation.

But before she can escape I tell the young vampire, "You might as well accept it now, because you'll eventually just get dragged into it later."

She ignores me and goes on her usual rant, going on and saying, "I'm a proud vampire. Why would I want to join something like a newspaper club?"

Mizore then pops out from under the table with a piece of paper in her hand while saying, "I'll be joining the club."

Wait, she wasn't already a member? The Ice Woman hands Tsukune her form while explaining herself in her usual calm tone, saying, "I wasn't officially a member and thought I would fix that."

Tsukune just awkwardly replies with, "Okay...", as he takes the form from her hands.

Ruby then asks, "Can I join too?"

I raise an eyebrow at the taller witch and ask, "Wait, you aren't even a student. Are you even allowed to join school clubs?"

"The Headmaster gave me permission to join since I helped deal with those thieves. I'm allowed to be the Newspaper Club's 'Assistant Adviser' so order me to do anything. I will make myself useful.", she replies as she hands Tsukune her forms.

Tsukune is unsurprisingly confused by Ruby's submissive behavior and asks, "You're our adviser and you still want to be given orders?" He simply smiles with a slight laugh at himself before saying, "I'm really happy Mizore, Ruby, and Kokoa."

Kokoa however continues to fight it while saying, "Like I said, don't just include me into your club!"

Almost on cue Nekonome pulls out a bottle of some sort of drink and cheers, "I've been saving this for just this sort of occasion."

We all look at her outfit to see she's dressed like some sort of cheerleader and Tsukune asks, "Miss Nekonome!? What's with that outfit!?"

She seems to have a cheerleader uniform on designed just for The Newspaper Club. It looks like it fits, but it's a bit tight on her in certain places...

"Isn't it cute? I feel like I'm thirty years younger.", Nekonome notes as she spins around in her outfit, causing the skirt on the uniform to raise up a bit.

My 'idiot senses' tingle as Tsukune goes to ask a question and before he can get a word out I slap him upside his head and tell him, "Whatever you were about to say don't."

Nekonome continues on by saying, "I'm soooo happy! We need new members for the club to grow. Without a new generation, our club will die out. We got one new member, but we aren't out of the woods yet. We should go out scouting for new members."

I let out my usual annoyed sigh and say, "But none of the freshmen this year are worth anything. They're just going to bog things down."

"We can not judge someone off of their strength alone Mister Oni. Now let's get scouting everyone!", the teacher scolds me as she heads for the door.

"Wait, we're still in the middle of celebrating!", Tsukune calls out to her, but it seems to fall on deaf ears, or maybe she just doesn't care.

"It's better to do things quickly, now come on.", Nekonome replies before bolting out the door.

Before we leave after our leader, all of the girls change into outfits just like Nekonome's. They even get Kokoa into one, though she seems less than pleased about it.

As we walk through the halls and see all the other clubs scouting for new members I hear Kokoa ask, "What? What's this?" I turn around to see her starting to tear up while shouting, "Why do I, a non-member have to wear this costume too?!" She then looks around nervously and says, "A proud vampire like me shouldn't be wearing such embarrassing attire."

"It isn't even that embarrassing. And Moka doesn't seem to mind it.", I reply as I point over to the little vampire's sister, who's wearing the uniform without any problems.

"Yeah, Moka's a vampire too and she doesn't seem to be minding the outfit. You look great in it! You should lower your pride and enjoy yourself more, Kokoa.", Yukari adds, causing the small vampire's cheeks to flush.

Kokoa looks away from us and growls, "What do you two know about me? And there's no way using just sex appeal will attract new members."

As I hear this, I can't help but let out a defeated sigh and say, "I really wish that were true.", before a flood of students comes rushing towards us wanting to join The Newspaper Club. I look over to Kokoa and say to her, "These students are so single minded that being close to just some of our members is enough to get them to do whatever we want."

Kokoa seems to be getting overwhelmed by what the students are saying about her and takes off shouting, "Not a chance in hell that I'll join The Newspaper Club!"

As Kokoa heads for the roof, Yukari follows after her shouting, "Kokoa! Wait up!"

Tsukune and Moka look back to see them both gone and before they can start complaining about it, I tell them, "I'll go after them. Those two will end up causing all kinds of trouble if I don't do something."

Hearing this, Kurumu lets out a slight sneer before mockingly replying with, "You just want to get out of helping with these other students."

I just laugh at the succubus and say, "Why would I ever want to bail on you guys like that. I'm just making sure Yukari and Kokoa stay safe is all.", before heading to the roof to find Kokoa and Yukari.

I make my way up to the door to the roof, but before I can open the door all the way I hear Yukari say, "I was looking for you, Kokoa."

I decide to listen in on their conversation and I hear Kokoa say, "Why? Leave me alone. I'm not joining your dumb club."

"I can't do that. It's an upperclassman's responsibility to listen to an underclassman's troubles.", Yukari replies confidently.

"Wait a minute! Who's what now?", Kokoa asks in a surprised tone.

"You're a freshman and I'm a sophomore, right?", Yukari asks the young vampire.

Kokoa furiously says, "But I'm older than you are."

Yukari replies with, "But I'm still the upperclassman." Yukari continues with, "Now then, upperclassman Yukari will listen to whatever troubles you might haaaave."

I hear someone walking and the sound of dragging feet as Kokoa says, "Ugh, you're so annoying!" I can only guess that Yukari grabbed onto her to force her to tell her. In her usual uppity tone, Kokoa growls at Yukari, "I don't have time to play with you. I have to hurry up and catch up to my Big Sis."

Yukari says, "It's your inferiority complex, right? I understand. I am the same way. I too, love Moka."

Kokoa is either surprised by her similarities with Yukari or Yukari's bisexual tendencies as she asks, "Y-you? Do you really understand?"

Yukari goes on saying, "I mean, Moka is so strong and beautiful. She's perfect. Trying to follow her isn't easy in any way."

Then I hear Kokoa crack a little while saying, "Th-that's why I have to get stronger. I'm on good in my current state. I'm not qualified to be her little sister." I hear someone start to cry, I think it's Kokoa, as she tries to say through her tears, "If I don't my Big Sis will leave me behind."

I hear Yukari start to cry too while saying, "Kokoa."

Kokoa then shouts, "See, I said so, right?! There's no way someone like you could understand how I feel!"

After what I could only guess was Yukari balling her eyes out, Yukari says, "I do understand. I also want to hurry up and have Moka recognize me as a real 'woman.' And I sometimes cry at night because I feel so childish. It hurts. And whin I touch my chest and realize how flat I am I can't stop crying..."

"I know about all that!", Kokoa replies. Wow, these two really do have problems. "Let's team up, as partners who understand each other's pain.", Kokoa suggests.

Yukari sniffles as she asks, "Like a flat chested alliance?"

Pffffff, 'Flat Chested Alliance.' When I die I'm going to the deepest part of Hell imaginable.

Furious with the little witch's suggestion, Kokoa replies, "AS IF WE'D USE SUCH A SELF-INSULTING NAME!" She doesn't seem to like the name.

After that I hear the door on the other side of the roof open and close. I guess they left to go do something, but what? I peek out the door to see that they are in fact gone. "They must've went to go find a club to help them get stronger.", I say to myself as I walk out onto the roof.

I light myself a cigarette and look through the crowd of people in the courtyard to see if they're down there. This is the area where most of the martial arts clubs are scouting so if they wanted to really get stronger they'd start here at least. Soon enough I spot Yukari's hat and Kokoa's bright orange hair in the crowd. They seem to be looking for a way to get physically stronger then?

I follow along while watching from roof tops at the perfect distance to keep them from spotting me. I watch them head over to the Karate Club, but the recruiter seems to turn them down. It makes sense since they do seem a bit too small to be breaking tombstones. Suddenly the big guy smashes through ten tombstones, that's not that bad, but he seems to be a dunce even by monster standards.

Damn, Kokoa is so loud that when she screams, "Don't make fun of us! I'll show you how to do it! Even I can do something like that!", I can hear it from all the way up here. Her voice sure does carry. They seem to look at their wallets in disappointment as they walk away from the booth.

That reminds me, how much money do I have in my wallet? I pull my wallet out of my back right pocket to see that I have about a thousand yen left. Good thing I get my cigarettes from Cerbero or I'd be broke all the time.

From my spot on the rooftop, I watch as they go from the Kickboxing Club, to the Wrestling Club, to the Sumo Club all in ridiculous outfits and get rejected each time. They each start to cry it seems before they get in each other's faces. Is their alliance falling apart already?

Yukari takes off her hat and rummages through it looking for something while saying something to Kokoa that perks her interest. She pulls out a big ass jar from her hat, first of all how the fuck did that work, and she showed it to Kokoa. After saying something Kokoa's face goes from curious to cautious. Must be some sort of experimental drug Yukari made over the break. Does this make Yukari a drug dealer? The things kids get into in school. After reluctantly taking the weird gumball looking thing from the jar Kokoa's body changes to that of an actual teenager. What kind of pill is that, a puberty pill?

The duo makes their way up to the Karate Club's stage and Kokoa challenges the tombstone breaking competition. The idiots are blinded by her beauty before she uses both her vampire strength and her demon bat to crush thirteen tombstones in one blow. That was impressive, but I wonder how many Moka would be able to break in a single kick.

The Karate Club members seem to be stunned by her display of power before she collects her reward and runs off.

After regrouping with Yukari, Kokoa gives the small witch the money she earned from the event. I get close enough to hear, but I think I'm hidden well enough to not get caught. She double high fives Yukari while they squealing, "We did it! The experiment was a success!" Kokoa begins to jump around happily saying, "Did you see that?! The faces on all those guys staring at my body! They called me pretty and adult like!"

I never thought I'd see this side of Kokoa. Yukari starts counting the money while saying, "I'm so happy that you're happy.", as she drools uncontrollably.

Kokoa goes on saying, "It's incredible, this 'take it and become an adult' Suku Suku drop. It's as if I'm dreaming. My field of vision has increased and my body is filled with power! And also, feel these."

This is going to get awkward. I should go down there and stop this before something goes stupidly wrong.

As Yukari gropes Kokoa, which leads to Kokoa making some strange noises, I jump down to the other side of the building and walk around to interrupt this nonsense.

As I reach the corner, I hear a guy say, "Now that was something. We're surprised. How about joining the Karate Club?" I peek around the corner to see those guys from the Karate Club booth from earlier. Maybe I should just leave them alone so they can get stronger this way.

Yukari seems excited and says, "You did it! You've been scouted right away, Kokoa!" Kokoa's tone changes to the smuggest tone I've ever heard from her as she says,

"I wanted to at first, but now that I've seen how weak you guys really are I think I'll pass. I actually want to get stronger so I have to choose my clubs carefully so they don't weigh me down."

Did she get this rude from being near me for just a few days?

The smaller guy is furious and says, "You think we're weak? Then I'll make you rethink that after fighting us!"

I'm about to turn the corner to help them fight these clowns, but Kokoa beats them down in nearly a second. I wait to see what else might happen and sure enough here comes the rest of the Karate Club. I wonder how quickly Kokoa can handle these Senior members. A few minutes maybe if she tries hard enough. There are four of them and they all seem well built and trained.

The one I can only guess it their boss says to her, "Hey, Sis, thanks for taking care of my underclassmen, but didn't you take it a bit too far? Don't underestimate the Karate Club!"

Yukari tries to get Kokoa to get back by saying, "Those guys are Seniors from the Karate Club. Get back.", but sure enough Kokoa wants to push herself and says, "If you lugheads can beat me I'll join your Karate Club or whatever."

I wait behind the corner watching this all start and hear the boss guy shout, "You got guts, woman!"

Preparing for battle, Kokoa calls out to her pet bat, saying, "Here we go, Ko.", before I hear a poof sound and a gasp from everyone except Kokoa.

I look to see that Kokoa has turned into a fucking toddler! That's great! Her fucking skirt fell down and everything, that has to be really embarrassing! At first she just looks at the Karate Club members, who are in complete and utter shock, and then to Yukari, who is also in shock, before asking, "Don't the enemies somehow seem a bit bigger? You too, Yukari."

Kokoa suddenly looks down at her body and realizes that she's the size of a toddler. Finally realizing her disadvantage, the even tinier vampire shouts, "What!? What's happening!?" I should probably do something before they get crushed like grapes by these guys.
