It's still early in the morning when I wake up with my head still throbbing from the chaos from yesterday. Unsurprisingly enough, Mizore is still sleeping as peacefully as ever nuzzled up against my left side with her face buried in my chest. Even though I really don't want to get up, we don't exactly have a choice so I poke her face until she finally starts to stir out of her dreamland. She eventually wakes up with her usual bed head, her hair looking almost like a giant purple iceberg. Even though it looks like nothing more than a giant mess, it's the most adorable bed head I have ever seen. We take our shower separate showers before getting dressed for school and heading to our first class.
Today we seem to be right on time on our usual walk to school, walking side by side while holding our bags in one hand while hold each other's free hand in the other, when Mizore asks, "What are we going to do about those Wong family guys? Do we just keep turning them down? They don't seem to be getting the message that way."
"I could just beat the shit out of them, but that'd probably only make them want me to join even more considering that they haven't even seen my monster forms yet.", I suggest as I close my eyes, trying to find some sort of counter to their persistent begging.
"Yeah, but how else can we get them to leave us alone? Tsukune too. We have to find a way to make them leave both of you alone. I don't want you or Tsukune getting involved with that crowd.", Mizore worriedly replies as she stops in the middle of the path, dragging me to a dead stop.
"What? You don't like the idea of Tsukune switching to Polygamy? I could understand not wanting to share me since I'm so amazing and all, but why the concern over Tsukune?", I sarcastically question her with a light chuckle as I turn to her with a cheeky smile.
"It's not the Polygamy. I'd actually prefer it if he went that way and married all four of them, but getting involved with the mafia isn't a good idea.", Mizore explains as tugs me into the nearby school entrance, through the halls, and straight our class with a gentle tug that I happily follow along with.
We hear a loud girly scream and then Moka frantically shouting out, "Yukari! Fong-Fong! What just happened!?"
"What's going on now!?", I shout out as Mizore and I rush into the room through the open door to see Yukari and Fong-Fong both leaning over the same desk with some sort of machine that looks like an air horn as Moka and Tsukune look at them with a mixture of confusion and fear.
After they awkwardly look at us and then each other, Fong-Fong grabs Yukari and drags her out of the room while nervously saying, "Ahh.. Ummm... We need to go to the bathroom. We'll be back in a bit." He rushes out of the room with Yukari and the machine, leaving the three of us alone in the empty room with a hint of smoke in the room.
I can't help but turn to the girls as I worriedly note, "That was...weird. I didn't know those two were that close."
"Ehh, that doesn't matter. We still need to figure out how we're going to make those Wong family members leave you two alone.", Mizore says as she sits on top of one of the desks, trying to get my brain back on track for the task at hand.
A student peeks in and says, "Hey, you guys do know the teacher is sick today, right? Class is cancelled for today."
"Thanks random guy!", Tsukune cheerfully replies with his usual smile.
"No problem!", the bland student kindly replies before walking off down the hall.
"Well now we have some time to kill while we wait for our next class. Want to go on a walk Reiji?", Mizore asks me as she holds out her hand.
I take her hand as I reply, "Sure, you two go have some fun while we try to figure out how to deal with Fong-Fong and Ling-Ling."
Mizore and I walk out while holding hands and walk down the hallway spit-balling ideas. I suggest we just kill them and she says that it wouldn't work since one is already dead and doing that would have the mafia on our asses. She suggest we deep freeze them and sell them back to the family for ransom money, but I tell her that plan does the same thing my plan would've except hers gets us more money. Before we can come to a conclusion, we hear Kurumu and Fong-Fong arguing in the hallway, but Fong-Fong is talking a lot like he's Yukari, he's using the same speech patterns and everything, except he sounds and looks like his normal self.
When we meet up with the two, Mizore lets go of my hand and forms her ice claws as she frigidly scolds the boy, saying, "Can't you ever shut up Fong-Fong? You're really getting on my nerves! And you have the audacity to mock Yukari like that! It's annoying! Go away!" In response Fong-Fong just runs away crying, giving us all a moment to relax.
"Damn, I'm surprised that worked. He's usually more determined than that.", I can't help but chuckle in surprise as he runs off like a cockroach.
"I guess that's all it takes to get him to leave us alone for the moment.", Mizore cheerfully notes as she grabs my hand again.
Seeing our hands interlocked, Kurumu turns to us with a furious glare as she growls, "You two are holding hands now? What is this?"
"What? Are you mad that you can't do the same with Tsukune?", Mizore mocks her with a smug grin across her face as she shows off our interlocked fingers. She's slowly becoming more and more like me and I love it.
"Honestly, a little bit yeah.", Kurumu honestly replies as she crosses her arms with a pout.
"Well I guess you're going to be really envious of her when I do this!", I say before I sweep her off her feet and into my arm like a groom would carry his bride.
"I bet you wish Tsukune would carry you like this, huh Kurumu.", Mizore continues to playfully mock her.
"Hey! Cut it out! Shouldn't we be teasing Yukari or something!?", Kurumu frantically exclaims as her face begins to burn a bright red.
We both shake our heads before I playfully reply, "Nah, everyone gets shit. That includes you Kurumu."
Before we can continue mocking the succubuss, we hear Moka calling out our names and when we look up to what's going on, we see Tsukune and Moka on the floor above us as they wave down at us. Mizore and Kurumu wave, but I have my hands full of cuteness so I can't. During all this however, Yukari is just kind of awkwardly standing there doing nothing but staring at Kurumu's chest.
Later on in the day, Ruby calls Tsukune and I to the office over the school speakers and we make our way towards the office together. As we're walking we hear Ruby over the speakers again, announcing, "Good morning to all students. Sorry for doing this all of a sudden, but today we're going to be taking body measurements of everyone. Could all male students stay in their classrooms and all female students make their way to the gymnasium?" We eventually arrive at the office where we see Ruby in a nurse's outfit with a large megaphone announcing, "Could everyone please change into your PE clothes and line up according to your student numbers? And by the way, at Yokai Academy taking your body measurements isn't just about measuring your height and weight, we will also be checking every detail of your body to see how convincing your human transformation is compared to the real deal. Those who perform poorly will have to take part in a transformation examination when they graduate. So good luck everyone!" After barking her orders, Ruby realizes that we've finally arrived and says, "Oh Tsukune, Reiji. I've been waiting for you two."
"That's definitely... an interesting outfit Ruby, where'd you get it?", Tsukune nervously asks as he pulls at the buttoned up collar of his shirt.
"I made it myself. How do I look? I think that my appearance is most important at work.", she gleefully replies as she spins on the tip of her foot to show him the rest of her outfit.
I should probably stop this before she does some sort of M like thing to herself. "Hey Ruby, you needed us for something, right?", I sternly question her, trying to keep her from going off topic.
"Yeah, the Headmaster wanted you two to oversee the girls' measurements today.", Ruby explains with a light blush.
"Watch over their measurements? Do you mean we have to...", Tsukune begins to say before Ruby nods in agreement as she says, "That's correct. You'll be guarding the door to make sure no boys try to peep on the girls."
Tsukune lets out a sigh of relief at this before weakly cheering out, "Thank goodness it's just guard duty."
"So we're just going to keep an eye out for creeps and peeps, got it. If I catch Gin trying to even get a peek at Mizore I'm going to..", I begin to say before we hear Fong-Fong shout, "Tsukune! Reiji!" We turn to see what he wants, but before we can react he jumps on Tsukune's back while shouting, "Please help me!"
"Fong-Fong!? What are you talking about!?", Tsukune frantically asks as he does his best not to drop the idiot.
"This is bad! Fong-Fong. I mean, Yukari is going somewhere she can't go...", Fong-Fong begins to say, seeming to stumble over his words as he tries to explain himself.
"But Yukari is a girl...and she's going to the gymnasium, where the girls are supposed to go...?", I continue to question him with a completely baffled gaze, not exactly sure what he's trying to say.
"That's the problem! Just come with me!", Fong-Fong shouts as he pulls both Tsukune and I out of the office and towards the gymnasium.
When we get close enough to see the gymnasium doors, Tsukune stops Fong-Fong as he asks says, "You need to see Yukari now? You can't Fong-Fong. They're having their measurements taken right now. They'll get angry if any guy goes even close to the gymnasium without permission, you know?"
"I just need her to come out! It'll be suspicious if I go in alone.", Fong-Fong nervously replies as he desperately tries to tug Tsukune along past the final stretch to the forbidden land.
"Wouldn't it be harder to sneak in if three guys went in? Even if we did get orders to watch over the place we still don't have permission to go inside.", I suggest with a burning glare aimed at the failed summoner.
"Besides that what's the problem? Tell us what happened first and then we might help you. And what are you carrying on your back?", Tsukune sternly asks as he blocks the mafia boy's path.
I didn't notice until now, but Fong-Fong has some sort of object strapped to his back. Maybe he's going to play Yukari a song or something.
Fong-Fong begins to sweat a bit before nervously dodging the question as he says, "Anyways, I just need to see her! Even if it's just for a moment, everything will be fixed."
We hear Haiji's voice from underground say, "Those burning feelings... I understand them all too well. Yukari is cute, isn't she? And you just can't hold back those feelings of burning love!" We look around for that idiot, but before we can find him, he bursts out from the manhole under our feet as he proudly proclaims, "Alright. Come with me and I'll let you meet your angel."
"Haiji!? What are you...", Tsukune begins to ask but before he can finish, Haiji pulls us all into the tunnel he was hiding in and close the manhole.
Everyone else begins to crawl through the tunnel on their hands and knees while I just jump into one of the many shadows in here and move along with them, this way we save what space we can.
"Where are we Haiji?", Tsukune nervously questions the lolicon as we make our way through the tunnel.
"We're in a secret underground tunnel passed down by the many heroes before us. By going through here, we can get close to the gymnasium without anyone noticing. It's a shining road that only the chosen ones can travel.", Haiji passionately explains with a strange smile across his face.
"So you perverts use this tunnel to peep on girls while they get their measurements taken, right?", I growl back at him from the darkness, waiting for the right moment to collapse this whole damn tunnel on this idiot.
"It's like a dream come true for all men, right?", we hear Gin cheer out from one end of the tunnel.
"Gin!? What are you doing here!?", Tsukune gasps in complete surprise as the perverted dog crawls his way over to us.
I can't help but slap him over the head and scold him for asking something so stupid before growling, "Tsukune, he's the biggest peeping Tom in this school. You expected him not to know and use this tunnel?"
"That voice...that's definitely you, Reiji. I'm surprised to see you two here, but who's your friend? I haven't seen him before... Eh, doesn't matter, in the end I guess you're all men as well. No matter how popular a guy gets, being perverted means they're a pervert.", Gin cheerfully notes before turn back and continuing on his path.
Tsukune begins to panic as he frantically cries out, "Wait! Peeping is a crime!"
Fong-Fong pats him on his shoulder, calming him a bit as he says, "There are more important things to worry about right now. Just keep your eyes closed."
"On our way out I'll just cave this whole place in and there will be no trace of us ever being here.", I quietly suggest to the nervous boy as we continue down the tunnel.
We come to two paths, one going left and one going right. Haiji points to the left path and says, "If you're into the second year girls then go that way. If you're lucky you'll see Yukari. I'm going to the first years. Yukari is great, but the little girl of my destiny is waiting for me." With a wink and a thumb up, Haiji says, "God bless you.", before he and Gin go down the other path. At least they won't be looking at Mizore or the others. But why does Fong-Fong want in here so badly? What could he possibly need Yukari for that he'd risk his life like this over?
When we finally reach the end of our path, we find a small door and Tsukune opens it while saying, "This must be the storage room under the gymnasium. It's like a hidden passage in a spy movie. It's almost too perfect for something like this."
Tsukune and Fong-Fong struggle to get into the room as I easily make it in with my shadow powers. "What's the holdup? Can't you two fit in here? I got in here pretty easily.", I jokingly remark as the two continue to fail to make their way through the doorway into the tiny room, which seems to have barely enough room for maybe two small people.
"That's because you're using your shadow sneaking ability! We can't do that Reiji!", Tsukune depressingly replies as the two continue to fail to get into the room. "This place is so dang narrow. What are we gonna do?", Tsukune says as he continues to try to get in here with Fong-Fong. Tsukune rubs against Fong-Fong a bit as he tries to get through into the room and Fong-Fong begins to blush. This is getting pretty awkward way too fast.
Fong-Fong nervously gasps, "Tsukune, we're in the middle of an important mission right now, so can you stop pressing against me?"
Hearing the awkward request, Tsukune nervously backs away from the weirdo before he hits his head off of the low ceiling and lands on top of him instead.
Fong-Fong's face turns a bright red and he says, "Being in this position with you Tsukune, I might just get in the mood for.."
And before he can finish I use my shadow arms to pull them apart as I sternly throw them back on course, growling, "Okay, that's enough of that shit! You wanted to get close to Yukari and now you're here. Now do what you need to while not looking at them or I'll grind you into a thin paste."
We all hear Mizore, Kurumu, Moka and Yukari above us as they're talking about their sizes. So they really are here then. Fong-Fong grabs the strange thing off of his back as he says, "That sounds like me up there... I guess now's the time to use this."
"Wait a minute, what are you going to do with that Fong-Fong? You're not going to take a picture of them like that, are you?", Tsukune asks as he grabs onto the thing, trying to stop him from taking any inappropriate pictures of the girls.
"No, of course not!", Fong-Fong says as he puts the thing down.
Tsukune grabs his arm and begins to pull him back out into the tunnel while trying to talk him out of whatever he's planning on doing, saying, "Anyways, this is wrong! We're going back Fong-Fong."
Fong-Fong tries to resist, tugging the boy back into the tiny space with all his might as he says, "But we're so close! It doesn't really matter, does it? And it's not like a little peek would hurt them, right?!"
Tsukune turns back at him and glares at him and I'm this fucking close to ripping his throat open with my bare hands.
Fong-Fong lets out a heavy sigh before muttering to himself, "I understand. When other people look at Yukari all they see is someone unattractive and childish. And anyways, at least you Tsukune, when you look at her, you probably think of her like a little sister or something, right? You don't even consider her a woman, right?"
Surprisingly enough, Tsukune seems to be close to bursting with rage. I might not even have to do anything if Tsukune looses his temper a little more with Fong-Fong. Tsukune snatches him up by his shirt and says, "Then that just means that you don't know how to look at others. Do you know how many times we have been saved by her? By her knowledge and her magic!? She never tries to make herself stand out and she's always supporting us from behind."
"She's the only student I'd say knows more monster species than I do. That's a valuable thing to bring to the table.", I add as Tsukune lets go of Fong-Fong.
"And I trust Yukari, one hundred and ten percent!", Tsukune says as he lets go of Fong-Fong and he lands on the floor. We start hearing something going on above us and Tsukune asks, "What do you think's going on up there?"
"Gin and Haiji probably got themselves caught.", I suggest with a light chuckle. Kokoa probably caught them peeping and is trying to kill them.
Fong-Fong pulls a rocket launcher looking thing out of the thing he was carrying on his back and says, "Now's my chance!" Fong-Fong opens the door above us to the gymnasium slightly and begins to aim the thing at Yukari! Is this an actual rocket launcher or some sort of contraption he made?
"Fong-Fong, what is that thing!? And why are you pointing it at Yukari!?", Tsukune frantically asks as he prepares to leap in and stop him.
"Can you even aim that thing Fong-Fong? You're an idiot eighty percent of the time and I doubt that you grew enough brain cells to use that thing just yet.", I nervously add as he continues to line up his shot. He seems to know what he's doing, but Fong-Fong isn't this precise, ever! What is this?
"This is the Ishin Denshin. I made this for you and Moka, Tsukune. Though, in the end it seems the one who really needed it was me.", Fong-Fong explains with a slight smile on his face. Tsukune and I look at each other for a second before looking back at Fong-Fong who says, "Thanks guys, after hearing all that nice stuff you said about me I'm so happy I could cry. Maybe someday you can tell that to the smaller me as well. As I thought, I really do love you Tsukune."
"Wait, is that really Yukari!?", I ask before he, or technically she, fires the Ishin Denshin and seeming electrocutes both himself and whoever that Yukari is.
After the smoke clears Fong-Fong frantically looks around in a daze as he asks, "Tsukune!? Where am I? And what happened to all the half naked girls?"
"You saw Mizore in her underwear, didn't you Fong-Fong?", I furiously ask him as I continue to look at him with a burning glare.
He begins to drip with sweat as he desperately gasps out, "It was only a glance I swear! The other girls were there too!"
"Well then, that just means we get to leave you here to die.", I growl as I use my shadow arms to grab Tsukune and Fong-Fong and begin to make my way through the tunnel. Once I reach the split I hit Fong-Fong off the wall knocking him out as I tell Tsukune, "Now we'll wait for Kokoa to finish you off while I collapse the tunnel behind us." I continue through the tunnel with Tsukune while using my free arm to claw along the roof of the tunnel causing it to collapse behind us.
When we finally reach the starting point of the tunnel, Tsukune frantically opens the manhole and we escape just as the last bits of the tunnel topples in on itself. I toss the manhole cover away and cover the last of the hole with dirt to cover our tracks.
With everything said and done, Tsukune turns to me and asks, "Should we have really left those three behind like that?"
"Yeah, they were peepers so they deserve what's coming to them.", I reply with a sly grin as I make my way over to the gymnasium and knock on the door.
"Who is it?", I hear Miss Nekonome ask from behind the door.
"It's me, Reiji Oni. Are there still people in there getting measurements done? I think Tsukune and I still need our measurements taken.", I answer through the closed door.
"Well, there's still one person getting their measurements taken, but we're almost done so you can come in.", Nekonome relies as we hear the clicking of the lock on the door coming undone.
"Okay, we're coming in.", I announce as I open the door and walk into the gymnasium. Tsukune's a bit hesitant to come in here after what just happened, but eventually follows suit when he sees it'll be fine.
"Where were you guys at? We heard something about peepers being under the floors and stuff.", Kurumu curiously notes as she turns to us with her hands on her hips.
"Yeah, we were asked to watch for peepers and when we heard about them we tried to figure out where they got in. We found a tunnel system under the gymnasium that they probably used for peeping, but I caved it all in so it should be pretty hard to use it now.", I answer as I rest with my back pressed against a nearby wall.
"Really, where were they at? They weren't peeping on us, were they?", Moka nervously asks with a bright blush coming across her cheeks.
I shake my head no as I explain, "They were peeping on the first years, but I think Kokoa found them out and is chasing them down right now. So I won't even have to do anything."
"Lucky for them, because if we found out they were peeping on us they'd be dead.", Mizore coldly adds as she grabs onto my arm.
"Hey, what are you guys doing in here?", Yukari asks with a surprised gasp as she comes out from the measuring area in her PE uniform.
"We still need to get our measurements taken and whatnot so we decided it'd be easier to just come here instead of going all the way back to Ruby.", I answer her with a weak grin, earning a smile back from the little witch.
"You know, Tsukune, if you want to see me in my underwear, all you have to do is ask.", Kurumu lustfully suggests as she wraps her arms around Tsukune's neck and shoves his head into her chest, all while patting his head.
"Stop that Kurumu, it's unladylike!", Moka furiously scolds her as she pulls the two apart.
"Oh come on Moka, if Tsukune's going to marry all four of us then you're going to have to get used to this.", Kurumu says as she tries to grab Tsukune again.
"Well then, Mister Oni and Mister Aono, I can measure you two if you want. It's only a basic blood sample and height and weight check for the boys.", Nekonome calls out to us as she comes out from behind the curtain. Nekonome quickly takes our measurements for our height and weight and quickly takes a small amount of our blood before she says, "There, all done! Have a great day!"
We look over to Moka who is drooling over the smell of Tsukune's blood. Mizore closes Moka's mouth for her as she gently scolds the vampire, saying, "You really shouldn't drool all over yourself like that. It makes you look desperate."
Moka seems a bit insulted and I say, "She's right. That does make you look desperate."
"I'm just a little hungry is all. I haven't eaten all day because of this random measurements thing.", Moka vigorously complains with a stomp of her foot.
"Then you can get some tomato juice or something! Tsukune isn't just food you know!", Kurumu shouts at her as she continues to shove his face into her chest. Ah, some things never change.
