Chapter 2: A succubus and a shadow
The morning after Saizou was defeated by Moka, Tsukumi woke up early and sought out Moka the first chance she got, she wanted the silver-haired Moka to answer a few questions.
As she approached Moka's room in the dorm, she hesitated in front of it for a bit before knocking on the door. The sound of running water could be heard from inside, followed by Moka's voice yelling, "Wait a sec! I'll be out soon!"
True to her word, a few seconds later the sound of the water shutting off was heard, and Moka opened the door with a towel wrapped around her body. "Tsukumi!" She shouted excitedly, "Come in, Come in," saving her friend inside, she asked, "Why did you come here so early in the morning?"
Tsukumi quickly replied, "I want to talk to the other Moka about something she said last night."
After she stated her goal, she looked around the room and saw a coffin bed with gothic decor, including what appeared to be a human skull pencil holder. Tsukumi involuntarily shivered, but stayed strong. She would get her answers today, even if she had to deal with the terrifying decor of this room.
Hearing Tsukumi's goal, Moka sighed before saying, "You can try, but I don't think the other Moka will talk to you."
Tsukumi nodded and reached forward and gently pulled off the rosary. The air in the dorm suddenly turned heavy, and Moka's eyes and hair changed color, and she wore a smirk on her face
However, because Moka was just in a towel, Tsukumi noticed a trait that changed that she hadn't noticed before, "I'm sorry, but did your bust just get bigger?"
Moka's previous smirk that she was making suddenly disappeared to turn into an uncharacteristically sheepish expression, "Was that what you wanted to ask? If that was it, can I have my rosary back?"
Tsukumi suddenly remembered her reason for asking to talk to this Moka, "Nonononono, I was just distracted, you don't have to answer that last question. My real question is, why think that I was a human?"
Moka smiled and said, "Your fear of the decor of the dorm and surprise at seeing a monster were dead give aways. Even if a monster doesn't like gothic decor, their reaction would be more apathetic, like Prism's reaction, not outright terrified like yours."
Tsukumi noddded, "I see, that makes sense."
"Now let me ask my own question, how did a regular human get into Yokai Academy?" Moka was smirking again with a gleam of curiosity in her eyes.
Tsukumi blushed when she thought of the reason, "It's embarrassing to talk about it, though."
Moka coldly smiled, and said, "Either tell me or I tell the school your human."
Tsukumi's face turned pale as she nodded her head and said, "I'll talk, I'll talk! Because no other high school would accept me, my dad picked up a flyer for Yokai Academy, that acted as an acceptance letter so I could go to the high school, when it fell out of some sketchy guy's pocket!"
Moka stood there dumbfounded, before laughing, "Hahahahaha! That's great. I'll tell your situation to outer Moka, so rest easy. You won't have to explain that to her again." Moka made a sadistic smile as she took her rosary from the frozen Tsukumi and put it on.
As pink-haired Moka opened her eyes and asked, "Did you get the answer you wanted from the other Moka?"
Tsukumi nodded before saying, "She hasn't told you yet, has she?"
"Who hasn't told me what?" Moka asked with a tilt of her head.
Immediately after she asked her question, at the same time Tsukumi was sighing in relief, a voice said "I haven't told you that Tsukumi is a human who got into this school because her grades were so low that no human school would accept her."
Moka stood there blankly before asking Tsukumi, "Are you a human that couldn't even get into any human schools and fame here?" Tsukumi froze again, nodded, then turned red as Moka started giggling.
"St-stop laughing! It's dangerous for a human to be at this school," Tsukumi pouted.
"I-I'm sorry, Tsukumi, hehe, it's just too ridiculous of a situation to not laugh at it. It sounds like something out of a manga, hehe."
"Don't tell Prism and I'll do you a favor for you. Let's go to class." After saying her part, Tsukumi left the dorm with a still laughing Moka in order to get ready for school. She, however, didn't escape in time to avoid getting her blood sucked by Moka to return her favor.
With Prism at the same time as Tsukumi's talk with Inner Moka
Prism was walking down the path to the school building slightly behind schedule when he heard a voice, "Someone... help me... please help me," the voice was female, so out of curiosity, Prism decided to investigate the source.
In the middle of the clearing by the incinerator, a girl was kneeling on the ground, apparently exhausted. She had short blue hair, purple eyes, G-cup breasts, and a yellow sweater, with a red bow, and a super short skirt. "...Help me," the girl cried again.
Prism turned to look at the girl, walked over to see what is wrong, then asked, "Are you okay? Should I take you to the infirmary?"
"I just started feeling ill, can you please lend me a hand?" the girl looked at Prism with a face with sweat beading on her too red skin.
Seeing the apparently ill girl, Prism reached out a hand, "Can you stand?"
The girl tried to stand, but stumbled into Prism's chest. "I've always had a weak body...my chest just started to hurt all of a sudden," the girl started rubbing her chest against Prism's arm, when she said, "Hold me tightly, like this." she pushed her body tight against him as if to demonstrate, when the girl said, "Look me in the eyes Prism-kun." When Prism looked at her, she whispered, "I'm Kurumu Kurone, please be a good friend to me, ok?"
After she finished speaking, Prism felt an urge to get closer to her, causing him to let go of her and step away in anger, "Kurumu, right? Anyway, it doesn't matter what your name is, good friends don't try to use charm on her friends. And another thing, if you want to charm someone by surprise, don't say their name when they haven't told it to you yet. Anyway, since you're fine enough to use your charm on me, you're ok to walk to class on your own."
"Wha-? What the hell? Why are you unaffected?" Kurumu looked at him in shock.
Prism looked back at her with a grin and said, "The next time you try to seduce someone, make sure they aren't aware of your seduction attempt, otherwise you could fall victim to a trap."
Prism smiled as he walked away before he left one last parting shot, "Oh! Yeah, before I forget, don't bother trying to seduce me, use charm on me, or make me fall in love with you be some other mean. You seem like a nice enough girl aside from that, so let nature take its course, I'm sure you'll find a lover if you do that and don't try to force anyone."
With his words said, he walked away leaving a frozen Kurumu behind him.

Moka and Tsukumi were standing in the hallways of Yokai Academy, waiting for Prism to walk from his last class of the day on the other side of the school, when suddenly a shout came from the staircase to the next floor across the hall from them.
"You are a vampire, right?" Kurumu was sitting at the top of the staircase looking down at Moka and Tsukumi. In shock Moka turned around and looked at the blue haired girl. Before she could ask how she knew, the girl said, "That's at least what the rumors say Moka Akashiya."
"Who are you?!" Tsukumi asked warily. In response, the blue haired girl jumped off the staircase in front of Moka and Tsukumi, much to the astonishment of the surrounding crowd.
Seeing that it was a beauty, the boys began talking among themselves saying stuff like, "Who is she? This girl is cute! Who knew that a girl aside from Moka-san and Tsukumi-san could also exists in this school?"
Hearing the comparison between Moka, Tsukumi, and herself, Kurumu's eyebrow twitched, but she still maintained a proud posture.
Moka warily glared at the girl and asked, "Who are you?"
Kurumu swaggered in front of the the other two girls, and said, "I'm Kurumu Kurono, a succubus, and you two are in the way of my grand plan."
"What's your plan?" Tsukumi asked with a weird expression on her face when she heard that Kurumu was a succubus, "Does it have to do with seducing Prism? If it does, I won't let you!"
Kurumu's face faltered slightly at Prism's name before switching back to normal, "No, it doesn't involve seducing Prism, it involves turning all of the male population into my slaves with my beauty! Originally, it should have been an easy task, but with you two attending this school, boys are dreaming about you two rather than me! People are dreaming about the beautiful athletic tomboy and the cheerful sophisticated beauty instead of me, the sexy and cute one! It's not fair! What is it that is lacking about me when compared with you?!"
Tsukumi sweatdropped at Kurumu's little tantrum before saying, "Maybe people just have different tastes, you shouldn't get angry at us for that."
"No! I refuse to lose to you two, that is why after school tonight, you two are going to meet by the incinerator so I can eliminate you and I can prove that I am the number one girl in Yokai Academy!"
Moka stared at her before saying, "Ok we agree to this, but I have to ask, is this fight really necessary?"
Tsukumi just stared at the girl who decided her schedule for the night before sighing in defeat while Kurumu ran away leaving the words, "Alright! Tonight after school! Be there!"
A couple of minutes after Kurumu had fled leaving a human resigned to her fate and a naive vampire who thinks the contest arranged by Kurumu is going to be peaceful, Prism walked down the hallway. "Did you wait long?"
Moka hummed and said, "No, you just missed a blue haired succubus arranging a fight with me and Tsukumi tonight. Do you want to come?"
Prism smiled, "Sure, I wouldn't want to miss an oppurtunity to hang out with you two after school."
The previously reluctant human suddenly gained a new fire in her eyes as she vowed to show off her charm in front of Prism and get a step closer to winning him over tonight.
Prism smiled at the two girls and the trio began their walk towards the dorms.
Time skip
It was a clear night tonight, Kurumu was already waiting in the clearing when Moka and Tsukumi walked into the clearing,
As Kurumu was about to speak, she saw a third figure walk into the clearing, he was wearing a simple white jacket that was opened in the middle with a black shirt under it and a pair of grey pants.
Seeing the black hair and grey irises with coruscating rainbow pupils, Kurumu asked, "What are you doing here, Prism?"
"Moka invited me," Prism quickly replied.
Kurumu said with a flustered expression, "W-well then, I guess we should get on with the fight."
Moka shook her head and said, "No, first I'm thirsty," done speaking, Moka turned to Tsukumi and Tsukumi started sweating.
Seeing this scene, Prism asked, "Hey Moka, how many times have you drank from Tsukumi today?"
"Two times, why do you ask?" Moka curiously tilted her head as she stared at Prism.
Prism sighed and said, "Feed from me. Feed from Tsukumi twice every two days, so she doesn't get anemia."
Moka covered her mouth and said, "Oh no! I don't want to hurt Tsukumi!" Saying this Moka suddenly lunged forward and bit Prism on the neck.
As Prism and Moka we're talking, Kurumu's face looked more and more pissed off until she finally exploded when Moka started drinking Prism's blood, "DON'T ACT LIKE I'M NOT HERE!!!"
The clearing was silent with Tsukumi trembling behind Prism until Moka finally stopped drinking Prism's blood. "Alright, now that I'm fueled up, we can begin!" Moka bounced on the balls of her feet energetically before turning to Prism, "Can you take off my rosary?"
Prism quickly grabbed the rosary and gently pulled it off of Moka's choker. The supernatural energy became visible causing Kurumu to step back some saying, "Her hair is turning silver?! This power... is this a true vampire?"
Kurumu suddenly said, "I can't be distracted! My race sent me to Yokai Academy to find my destined encounter among the men I charm into my harem, I cannot lose today!"
After psyching herself up, Kurumu grows bat wings and her nails lengthen as she assumes her true form. After her nails grow, she flies up and tries to divebomb Moka with her newly grown claws. "You got in the way of my species' survival by interrupting my plan to find my destined one, Moka Akashiya. I can't let you get away with that no matter what!"
Moka reaches her hand out with a smirk as she said, "You can't get what you want, so you decide to throw a tantrum? What an ego. You want to get rid of me?" Moka kicks her leg out while saying, "KNOW YOUR PLACE!"
Kurumu went flying into a tree and Moka walked toward her, "Do you want to say anything else before I tip your wings off so you can never fly again?"
"No," Kurumu looked down at the ground, accepting her fate.
Prism suddenly asked, "Why do you even want to rip her wings off?"
Kurumu looked up at this statement while Moka's cheeks suddenly became dusted pink, "W-well, her harem plan included the seduction of every male in the school... so she would have eventually tried to seduce Prism, and that is unforgivable!"
Hearing Moka's logic, Tsukumi glared at Kurumu. However, just before Moka could try to rip Kurumu's wings off, Prism jumped in front of Moka and held out her rosary.
Moka looked at the rosary in Prism's hands in confusion, "Why are you blocking me? Did this girl's seduction actually affect you? If it did I must definitely get rid of her!"
"This is enough Moka," Prism began, "Kurumu wasn't acting with bad intentions, she just used misguided means to fulfill her goals. In addition to that, I just can't see Kurumu as a bad girl at heart. If the other Moka knows she is responsible for crippling one of her few nice classmates just because they flirted with me, she would be sad."
Moka looked at Prism's eyes before angrily taking the rosary and looking at the blue-haired girl and saying, "If you try to use charm on Prism again, I will end your life."
After her piece is said, Moka puts on the rosary and transforms back into Outer Moka. While Moka is putting on the rosary, Tsukumi notices that Kurumu is looking at Prism with a blush and a determined expression on her face.
Seeing this expression, Tsukumi narrows her eyes while thinking It appears a new opponent has appeared, I must be wary of all of the girls going after Prism's heart.
The problem solved, Tsukumi takes Moka back to the dorm while Prism walks toward his dorm to end his day.

A prison somewhere in the monster world at night
A gray prison door with only a small slot for food trays to go into lies at the deepest layer of the prison. Under the food tray slot, a rainbow light shone out from the cell.
A lone guard approached the door with a tray of food. He knocked on the door and said, "Your food's here, please step away from the door."
After the guard spoke, he slid the tray through the slot and waited outside for the tray to be returned. When the tray went under the slot, a voice sounded out from the cell, echoing around the small corridor, "Any news from outside about my son?"
The guard thought about whether or not he should answer for a second before saying, "Prism is currently attending the high school section of Yokai Academy."
The man in the cell smiled when he heard the news, "How strong has my son gotten?"
The guard sighed and said, "It's unknown how strong he is now, his mother had his powers temporarily sealed and the seal has still yet to begin to come undone."
The prisoner's smile was wiped off of his face and his eyes were filled with anger as he yelled, "THAT BITCH! HOW DARE SHE SEAL OUR SON'S STRENGTH! SHE BETTER HOPE I DON'T GET OUT OF HERE, OTHERWISE THE FIRST THING I'LL DO IS KILL HER THE SECOND I CAN!"
His words echoed through the entire prison, filled with killing intent. The KI was so strong that most of the weaker prisoners' hair turned white and they pissed their pants from fear.
The guard simply banged on the cell door and said, "Mr Smith, I'm going to have to ask you to calm down. You're scaring the weaklings with your killing intent."
Hearing this, the now named Mr Smith stopped releasing his killing intent and sent his empty food tray back out through the slot, causing the guard to pick it up and walk away from the cell door that housed the monster that is on the same level as Alucard, John Smith, Prism's father.
As the guard walked away, John Smith was left to fume in his cell alone. When he was sure the guard was gone, he began to talk to a shadow on the wall, "Umbra, I need you to watch over my son and report in a month's time so we can plan my escape. By the time the boy opens his last seal, I should already be out of this prison."
A female voice responded, "Understood. Should I enroll in your son's class as a student to better keep watch over him?"
John thought about her question for a second before nodding, "Yes, enroll in his school and protect him from any unnecessary dangers. Your mother was one of my most loyal supporters, so I was sad when I heard news that she passed away five years ago. I hope that her daughter can follow in her footsteps and remain loyal to my cause, because if she can't, I would be devastated if I had to personally kill her for disobedience."
"Of course, I won't disappoint you sir," done with her task, the shadow went through the food tray slot and began to run towards Yokai Academy.
John Smith was left to his own thoughts in his prison once again. In the darkness, only his glowing coruscating eyes were visible as he whispered, "Soon son, soon I will escape this place, and together we will put those shitty humans in their place as our slaves. Ahahahahahahaha!" When he finished his self-made promise, his maniacal laughter filled the prison causing chills to run down the spins of the prisoners and guards alike.

Yokai Academy
Prism was walking to class once again, the day after the incident with Kurumu.
As he was walking, a pink blur suddenly knocked him to the ground and attached itself to his neck. Moka started draining his blood and eventually detached herself and said, "Thanks for the meal! I was feeling a little faint since I couldn't drink Tsukumi's blood on the way from the dorm."
Prism stared at Moka with a deadpan look on his face, and opened his mouth to speak, when Tsukumi's voice was heard, "MOKA! GET OFF OF PRISM!"
After her yell at Moka, the brown-haired girl pulled the vampire off of the boy. Prism was once again about to speak when another familiar voice was heard, "Good Morning!" The cherry voice of Kurumu said, "I baked some cookies for you three as an apology for the problem I caused yesterday."
Prism finally opened his mouth, "You didn't have to do that, so why did you?"
Kurumu adopted a bashful look as she said, "Remember when I talked about my destined one?"
Prism started to gain a sense of forboding as he replied, "Yeah, so what?"
Kurumu brightly smiled as she said, "My destined one, I've decided... it's Prism."
Prism blankly looked at her, "Why?"
"When you protected me from Moka, my heart skipped a beat and I fell for you, so won't you marry me?" Kurumu said with a blush.
Hearing this, Tsukumi and Moka glared at Prism, causing a cold sweat to break out on his forehead as he said, "No."
Kurumu smiled and said, "I'm fine with that for now, you will have plenty of time to decide as we hang out more as friends." Saying that, Kurumu hugged Prism's arm into her breasts causing his face to heat up as he quickly ran to school.
As he ran, he muttered to himself, "Kami help me. I'm really not looking forward to the school festival that's supposed to be held later this year. I hope Mom decides not to come visit then."
Time skip
It was homeroom now, Prism was seated in his spot in the back of the class by Prism while Moka was seated in her spot in front of Prism.
When Ms Nekonome walked into the room, the class quickly quieted down. The teacher cleared her throat and said, "I know it is at a weird time this early into the school year, but we will have a new student entering this class to replace Saizou who mysteriously vanished on the second day of school."
A girl with long black hair, black eyes, a deadpan expression, and E-cup breasts wearing the school uniform entered the classroom, leading to many of the boys jumping out of their seats yelling, with tears in their eyes, "HELL YEAH! IT'S A CUTE GIRL!"
When Ms Nekonome quieted them down, with tears in her eyes because she didn't receive this kind of welcome, she said to the girl, "Why don't you introduce yourself to the class?"
The girl stood up and wrote her name on the board before introducing herself, "I'm Umbra Kage, but you can call me Umbra."
After her simple introduction, she walked to the back of the class and sat in the seat behind Prism, much to the annoyance of the other boys in the class.
One boy vocalized their distress, "Why do all the cute girls sit around Prism? It's not fair."
Ms Nekonome quickly scratched the boy across his face, "Quiet when I'm talking!"
The boy whimpered and stayed quiet for the rest of the class. As the class wore on, Prism began to vaguely realize that Umbra was staring at him the entire class. When class finally let out, Prism ran out of the room, to get away from the girl.
Moka and Tsukumi were in shock at this turn of events, along with everyone else in the classroom, everyone except Umbra. Umbra quickly got to her feet and chased after Prism causing Moka and Tsukumi to quickly follow behind to see what was happening.
All of this just caused the anger of the male students to rise at how the three girls considered most beautiful in their classroom just followed the most popular male in their class basically the moment he left.
Time skip
Prism had finally slowed down and sat on the ground by the boy's dormitory, when Umbra finally caught up to him.
"Who the hell are you? Why were you staring at me all through class?" Prism asked while glaring at the girl.
Umbra tilted her head to the side, as she answered in a robotic tone, "I wasn't watching you, I was watching the teacher in front of you."
Prism looked at her and said, "I would believe you, if you hadn't stared at me when I ducked down when I reached forward to borrow a pencil from Moka."
Before this conversation could go anywhere, Moka and Tsukumi finally caught up to Umbra and Prism.
Tsukumi, who is taking deep breaths to recover, says, "That girl is fast! I can't believe how long we had to run to catch up to her, and she's not even out of breath!"
Moka nods in agreement as she lightly sweats in contrast to Tsukumi's full on panting. Looking between Umbra and Prism and seeing the tense atmosphere, Moka asked, "What did we miss?"
Prism sighed and said with a wry smile, "Nothing. I was just about to leave," when he started to walk forward, Umbra tried to walk after him, however, his next word put a stop to her following him, "Alone."
When Umbra heard this, her eyes showed a slight amount of conflict in them before a slight sigh escaped her lips, "Understood." The way she said the words sounded like a shoulder replying to their superior, causing confusion to Tsukumi, Moka, and Prism, however Prism shrugged it off and turned around and walked into the boy's dorm.
After Prism left, Umbra turned to the two girls in front of her, "What are your intentions by getting close to Prism?"
Tsukumi blinked her eyes, "What do you mean?"
"Surely you must have a reason, what is it?"
Umbria's glare was starting to unnerve Tsukumi, the longer she looked into the girl's eyes, the more unnerved she got. Something about the girl's eyes made her feel as if she was looking at something that shouldn't exist, something inhuman. Even more inhuman than all the other monsters she met while attending Yokai Academy, a feeling similar to when she sees the silver-haired Moka fighting.
Moka looked at the girl and said, "I just want to get close to Prism."
Umbra looked at the pink-haired girl and asked, "Do you know who Prism Smith is?"
Tsukumi replies, "He's our friend. He's a student of Yokai Academy, he's some sort of elemental. Is that enough information for you?"
Umbra looked weirdly at the two girls, "If I sense any malicious intent towards Prism from you two, I will not hesitate to kill you both, regardless of the repercussions."
Moka looked at the black-haired girl, "Ok, but know that we will not have any malicious intent towards Prism."
Umbra nodded before saying, "As long as you understand your place, I'll now take my leave."
Umbra suddenly turned into a shadow and vanished, leaving behind two confused girls.
When she was sure that the shadow was out of sight, Tsukumi sighed, "That was Terrifying! It was really cool how you fended Umbra off Moka! You almost sounded like the other Moka with how calm you were!"
Moka suddenly collapsed, "You're right, Tsukumi! That was scary! The other me spoke to me through my rosary to guide me through what to say, she also said that Umbra was an S-class monster, a shadowdemon, a type of shadow that tries to take human souls into Hell by force."
Tsukumi looked at Moka in confusion before looking in the direction Umbra left in, "So she's a monster that is as strong as Moka? No wonder the feeling I felt from her eyes was similar to the other Moka," Tsukumi shivered in fear before saying, "Let's head to our dorms."
Moka nodded in agreement before following Tsukumi back to the girls' dorms.

In front of the boys' dorm
When Prism was walking towards his dorm, he saw a shadow move out of the corner of his eye, causing him to look and see Umbra standing off to the side, watching him.
"Didn't I sat I wanted to leave the clearing alone?" Prism asked as he glared angrily at Umbra.
Umbra nodded, "You did leave the clearing alone, I just followed you after you left."
Prism was speechless. He stared at the girl and sighed in defeat, "Ok, what do you want?"
Umbra stared at him and said in her normal voice, "I want to follow my orders, and my orders say to protect you."
Prism looked at her and said, "Well if you're orders are to protect me, do you have to stare at me every waking moment?"
Umbra put a finger on her chin and looked to be deep in thought about the question in response. After a while of maintaining this pose, she nods her head, seemingly satisfied with the answer she came up with, "Yes. I do have to watch you every waking moment, as well as the moments you aren't awake."
Prism stared at her, then said two words,"Fuck. No."
Umbra tilted her head, "Why not?"
Prism stared at her incredulously, "Because I need my fucking privacy! Do you not see any problem with you watching me the entire time you attend Yokai Academy?"
"No, why? Is there a problem?"
Prism sighed, "You can glance every once and a while to take in my situation, but you cannot watch me 24/7. You especially can't watch me whenever I'm in my dorm. Nothing will happen to me there, you don't have to watch me then."
Umbra nodded, "Understood."
"Alright, just to make sure you understand, repeat back the rules I set for you." Prism was pretty increduluos about this girl listening to what he said, so without realizing it, he had already approved her watching him as long as she followed his ground rules.
"Only glance at you occasionally, don't watch you in your dorm, and don't continuously watch you at school." Umbra stated matter-a-factly.
"Good, I'm going to go into my dorm, now. You should go to your dorm." Prism said with a wave as he walked to his dorm.
Umbra nodded in agreement and turned into a shadow and vanished. As Prism walked into his dorm and lay down in his bed to go to sleep, without changing out of his clothes, in a daze, Prism asked the empty room, "What the fuck did I just agree to?" Immediately after this question was asked, Prism passed out on his bed, asleep.
