Author's Note: Here we go, third chapter. I may have ended up pulling some things literally from out of my ass, so bear with me. As a result, some of the characters may seem a bit OOC, I hope not too much but I dunno. I'll just have to wait and see.

Day 3:

It was dark, all that could be seen were the dim glow of clock hands which at the moment read 5:59. Then, as the hands turned to 6:00, a cord connected to a record player sparked. The power on the screen was turned on and was unlimited in a dim yellow light and the speaker let out a soft static noise as the record player started spinning up, the needle then moved into place and a soft tune started to play.

"I don't want to set the world on fire…."

Jayson's eyes fluttered open, he reached up and rubbed his face as he sat up and moved his feet out of the bed. He raised his arms and started stretching his rotator cuffs, he let out a soft satisfied sigh when he heard both of his shoulders pop. He then let the song play as he got out of the bed and opened the blinds to his window and the room was instantly flooded with light thus his beginning his morning routine. His routine started first with basic hygiene maintenance including bathing, shaving, brushing his teeth, and combing his hair followed by him getting dressed. Like many times before back home, nothing in his routine changed except for the fact he was in another country. He had just finished putting on his tie when he went to look inside his kitchen cupboards and took note of how bare they looked. Since he made the bright decision of relying on his own cooking instead of living off the school, this was a problem. Not a big one mind you since he still had a couple of things, but he knew he had to go shopping soon.

*knock* *knock* *knock*

"Hmm," Jayson looked up in surprise, he hadn't expected anyone.

He glanced at his watch and read 7:00, he walked over to the front door slowly opened it just a crack.

"Good morning!" Yukari cried happily holding up a bag of groceries in her arms. "I brought you something!"

Jayson smiles politely and opens the door allowing the young girl to come in, "Thank you, put it on the counter please."

It had been two full days since he started living here at Yokai Academy, and it has been one full day since his new friend decided to stick to his side like glue. Jayson wasn't one to look a gift horse in the mouth, and he sure wasn't going to turn down someone willingly offering him companionship. He let out a content sigh and hummed softly to the radio as he stated mixing eggs into a bowl.

Yukari skipped over to the kitchen counter and placed the bag there as she climbed up and sat down the counter herself. Yukari without a single word had implanted herself into his life, not that he was complaining, he in fact, welcomed her since he felt she reminded him of home. That plus the fact he just didn't have the heart to say no to the adorable witch.

"Could you set the table please?" Jayson asks.

Yukari nods and does just that, setting two plates at the table, she then skips over to the refrigerator and pours herself a class of orange juice. She ten glances over to the coffee maker that held a fresh pot that had just finished brewing.

"Big Brother, how do you take your coffee?" she asks as she pulls out a mug from the cupboard.

"One scoop of cream, two scoops of sugar," he replies as he pours the omelette onto the skillet. "They're to the left of the coffee maker."

Yukari then places to the two drinks next to the plates and walks over to the radio. She looks over the practically antique stereo before she curiosity reaches up to the knob and changes the channel.

*fizz fizz*

We'll meet again

Don't know where….

"Such an old song." she murmurs, she then decides to explore further by changing it again.

*fizz fizz*

Somewhere beyond the sea….

*fizz fizz*

But it's all right. I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash

It's a gas, gas, gas….

*fizz fizz*

We can't go on together

With suspicious minds (suspicious minds)

"Yukari, stop playing with the radio please," Jayson calls out as he lifts the skillet off the stove.

"Why do you have such old songs?" she asks as he walks to the table.

"Same reason you like to dubstep," Jayson replies, deadpan.

"I don't like to dubstep," she pouted, "I was just like that one song."

Jayson shrugs "It all sounds the same to me," he says as he places the omelettes onto the plates and then puts the skillet into the sink.

*fizz fizz*

*trumpets blaring*

Soiuz nerushimyj respublik svobodnykh

Splotila naveki Velikaia Rus.

Yukari's face froze in shock as she was not expecting this song to play, especially not from her Big Brother.

"The Soviet National Anthem?" she asks hoarsely.

"What about it?" Jayson asks casually as he walks back into the room.

"Can you even understand what they're singing about?" she asks, raising an eyebrow.

"Yes."

Surprised, Yukari asks "You can speak Russian?"

"No."

"What do you mean no?" she asks, now confused, "You just told me you understood the song."

"Well, technically I can," Jayson replies.

Yukari quickly deadpans when she realizes what he meant, "You only learned enough Russian so you could sing the song."

"Yep," he replies happily.

"Why?" she asks.

"I felt like it," he replied as he picked up a fork. He then points at her plate before reaching for the pepper shaker.

Yukari rolls her eyes and changes the channel one last time.

*fizz fizz*

Hey Jude, don't make it bad

Take a sad song and make it better….

"Aw," she cooed, "I love the Beatles."

She then grabs her fork and turns to her own plate.

Linebreak

As the pair waded through the crowd hand-in-hand, they were soon met with stares from the crowd. What followed was a string of what Yukri could only assume was gossip. The comments ranged from compliments on how cute the pair looked together, to complaints….mostly from the female population on how her big brother could choose her over them. Finally, among all the other gossips, there were comments on her status as a border being as well as threats to her and her new friend.

"Aw, they look cute together."

"Looks like the school genius and the American already hooked up."

"How could he choose that brat over someone like me?!"

"Noooo! The American has stolen my angel from me!"

"Who does that little hussy think she is, thinking being with someone like him is gonna change how we think of her!"

"Oh look at that, the American is a freak lover."

Yukari, even more so than usual, felt as if she was under a microscope. She was used to receiving the wide range of comments from people, what she wasn't used to wash the comments being directed at people who associated with her. She wearily glanced up to Jayson expecting him to have at least some kind of reaction to the crowd. To her surprise as well as her relief, Jayson paid no mind to them. What Yukari found most interesting was the look in Jayson's eyes. Usually, there are two reasons as to why Jason didn't react to the crowds. One possibility is that the person being judged literally has no idea on what's going on around him. The other possibility is that the person just doesn't care. Not only did Jayson not look like he cared of what his classmates thought of him, the look in his eyes also told Yukari that this situation was one he was used to.

Jayson's expression was calm, calculating, the only indication that he was even aware of his surroundings were the subtle glances towards the crowds. Jayson finally noticed Yukari's worried expression, to which he just smiles warmly and nods reassuringly, almost as if silently telling her everything would be alright. Yukari found herself feeling more confident and she returned Jayson's smile with one of her own and they pair continue on without a care in the world.

"Alright, this is it," Yukari whispered as she came up to her classroom door.

She turns around and Jayson kneels down to her leve where she wraps her big brother in a giant hug.

Jayson said "Now you have a good day now okay?"

"Okay," Yukari whispers contently but frowns slightly as she feels the warmth from her brother's arms unwrap from around her.

"Remember," he whispers, "If you ever need anything, all you have to do is ask and I'll do my best."

"I know you will," Yukari smiles. "See you next period."

"That's my girl," he smirks, he then points to his cheek and laughs playfully "Now give you Big Brother a kiss goodbye?"

Yukair lets out a giggle and lightly pecks his left cheek before running off into her classroom.

As Jayson stood back, he turns in the direction of his friends.

"Tsukune?"

"Huh?"

"I imagine you feel rather lonely being surrounded by monsters," Moka turns towards her friend and smiles. "So if you ever need anything just ask, and I'll help however I can."

"Thank you," Tsukune smiles gratefully.

"Oh dear," Jayson sighs as he watches the pair draw closer together.

"Tsukune, it's too much," Moka murmurs apologetically, "See, I overslept and missed breakfast."

"Huh?" Tsukune's eyes widen, suddenly feeling confused.

She then starts to slump forward and Tsukune quickly caught her, "I got you, what is it?" he asks, concerned for his friend.

"I'm sorry," she murmurs before-

*chomp*

"AHHHHHHHHH!?" he cries as Moka clamps onto his neck. "AGAIN?! WHAT AM I FOOD?!"

'Maybe I shouldn't say hi to them today,' Jayson thought as he stood there and watched his friends. He then snaps from his train of thought as he sees Moka make contact with him, 'Oh too late,' he thinks as Moka smiles and waves.

"Hi Jayson!" she greets as Tsukune looks up in surprise.

"Jayson!?" he cries, blushing with embarrassment, "How much of that did you see?"

"All of it," he replies in deadpan.

"Oh well, we should probably get to class now," Moka comments as she stares at the clock on the wall.

"Oh, heh right," agreed Tsukune as the two walked into their homeroom.

'I'm starting to think I should have had a second cup of coffee today,' Jayson thought as he followed his friends into the class, boy did he know.

"You know Allen, this place is actually kind of nice," Jayson mumbled thoughtfully while preening his raven friend.

The raven, even payed more attention to the preening his friend was giving him, still listened intently to his words.

"The people are nice," he observed, "and the weather is….consistent." Allen cawed as if he was laughing.

*squawk?*

"I didn't say I like it here, I just said it's nice," Jayson retorted.

Allen just shot him a look that pretty much said "But do you really?"

"Fine," Jayson relented, "I'll admit that this place is starting to grow on me. My current tiny pocket of friends certainly help….even if they are a bit childish."

The rave seemed to let out a laugh at the expense of his friend.

Jayson pondered, "While one of them actually is young enough to be a child, the other two don't get that same excuse." He then chuckles,"But yes, I know, nothing I'm not use to."

Allen bowed his head and cawed sympathetically.

"And I really hoped I wouldn't have to play babysitter here," Jayson sighed.

Then Allen cackled mischievously.

"Don't even joke about that Allen," Jayson groans leaning his head back, "That is not funny."

"Oof!" a voice rang out.

Both Allen and Jayson snapped to attention.

Jayson glanced over to Allen who donned an offended look and shook his head saying 'It wasn't me.' The two looked around for the noise before it rang out again.

"Oof!" the two turned their heads to the direction and they found the source. What they found was a female student, a little under Tsukune's height….so you know, small, with short cyan colored hair tied into a ponytail behind her head. "Please help me," she whimpered. "I-I just feel….so dizzy." The girl then turns in the direction of our main character and asks "I'm really sorry, but could lend me a hand please?"

Jayson and Allen shared a glance before they both shrugged and Jayson stepped forward "Sure," he replies and casually bends down and helps the student up.

Then the student lurched forward pressing her rather….large *cough* assets into the Jayson's chest.

"OOoooo, my chest," she groans, Jayson glanced down at her, confused on what was going on, "My chest just started cramping up."

Jayson, glances over to Allen who was equally confused, to emphasize this Allen threw 7p his wings in a shrug.

"Your chest?" he asks nervously.

"Yeah," she moans painfully, "They feel like they're gonna burst!"

'Yeah I have no idea what to do here,' though Jayson as he watched the girl in front of her squirt painfully.

"Uh, look miss…." he paused hoping for a name.

"Kurumu, Kurumu Kurono," she murmured, "We're in the same homeroom Jayson."

'Really?' Jayson thought, surprised at the revelation, he then immediately thought back to class and he remembered there was a girl with cyan colored hair who sat directly behind him. 'Oh yeah, she is in my class. Small world.'

"Look, a-anatomy isn't exactly my expertise," Jayson commented apologetically, he glances over to Allen who with his wing motions for him to go on, "B-but tell you what, how about I just take, take you to the infirmary?"

Kurumu's eyes widened hopefully "Could you?"

"Yeah," Jason nods, "It's not far from here."

"Jayson?" Kurumu calls out.

"Hm?" Jayson looks back to Kurumu.

Kurumu then stare straight into his eyes and said "Thank you."

Then it was all over, as Jayson gazed into her deep purple eyes, he a felt a tug in his mind and his vision was bathed in a green light as he slowly started to lose consciousness.

'Wait,' he thought, 'What's going on.'

Jayson glances around in front of him as his surroundings flicked around him and he found himself not in a high school, but instead an old 40s era looking city. In front of him, the girl Kurumu flickered out and was replaced with much smaller little girl with sickly yellow eyes and a cute little dress.

"Hi Big Brother," she murmurs pulling him into a hug.

'Emily,' Jayson thought.

Emily then held up a doll "Look, it's you," she presented proudly.

'Oh yeah,' Jayson nodded thoughtfully, 'You can tell, especially with how the helmet is….bigger….than the rest of my body.'

Emily then lowers the doll, gives it one quick loving hug before grabbing Jayson's left hand and started pulling.

"Come on Big brother," she chanted "I can smell another angel."

Jayson watched Emily skipped ahead a little before turning around and in a scolding voice, she said "Come on, Don't be a slowpoke Big brother." She then turned around and warned "Angels don't wait for slowpokes."

As Jayson followed his little companion down the halls, he glanced out on of the panoramic windows and confirmed that indeed, he was in Rapture. Unless he somehow found his way to another underwater city.

"Yes!" Kurumu cheered! "I got him!"

She then began leading him of in a random direction but stopped for one moment and looked over at Jayson's pet raven. She felt a shiver go up her spine as the raven shot her this ominous look, it almost looked angry at her. She quickly dismissed that creepy thoughts and continued on.

Linebreak

'Huh, wait,' Jayson thought, 'Where did she go?'

Jayson had finally snapped back to reality, he had been following his little sister for the past ten minutes through the empty halls of his home city when he realized that she had rounded the corner while he was distracted and now had lost track of her.

"Big brother!" she cried as she pierced from around the corner. She practically sounded offended, "Hop hop, Big Brother! No time to waste!"

Jayson gave one more look out the window before heading down the direction Emily had gone.

*scream*

Jayson then snapped to alert as he then rushed for Emily. As he rounded the corner, he saw Emily there in the middle of the hall with several splicers around her. Jayson then breaks off into a run down the hall revving his drill in the process. Nothing was going to harm his little sister. It was at the last moment another splicer stepped out from the shadows and threw an orb like object at him. Jayson just thought it was a grenade and raised his hand in an attempt to absorb the explosion. It was then the orb shattered against his arm and his helmet came in contact with the substance as it placed onto him. His vision was once again bathed in a green light like many times before, only this time was different. Normally when a protector unit like him was hypnotized by that plasmid, they would fall into a sleep like state and not remember anything when they woke up; but this time, he was 100% aware of what was going on around him, and there was not a damn thing he could do about it. Jayson heard laughter and clapping as another splicer, the leader Jayson assumed, walked out from the shadows.

"Good," he laughed jokingly, "Now that we're all here." He turns to his men and laughs "It was almost too easy."

"You would think it would have been harder with the amount of money Ryan dumped into these things," another splicer commented.

"That's Ryan for you," a third jeered, "Overconfident in everything he does. Only hurts more when the carpet is pulled out from under him."

"Alright enough," the leader barked, "We got work to do."

"Hey boss, what about him," a splicer asks turning to the pacified Jayson.

"Leave him," the leader shrugs, "The freak can't do shit in this state, and he'll probably die of insanity once he realizes his bounded sister is dead, why bother wasting the ammo?"

'Wait,' Jayson's eyes widened, 'I remember this.'

Then Emily started screaming.

'No,' Jayson cried, 'I don't want to be here.'

'No!'

"Big brother!" Emily cried helplessly.

"Shut up you little freak!" the leader splicer growled, "Your "Big Brother" can't do shit."

"No!" Emily screamed as she started wrestling around and actually managed to break free from the splicer holding her. "Big Brother!" she screamed helplessly as the splicer dragged her back to the group.

"Can you shut her up already!" the leader cries. "Fuckign thing's making my head hurt."

The splicer nods and Jayson was forced to watch helplessly as the splicer raises his monkey wrench and Emily let out one final scream as the splicer brought it down with a sickening crunch at the end. Jayson blinked as everything around him seemed to fade to black and all that was lit up in the room was where Emily layed. What shocked Jayson the most was the look on her face, it was pale with a peaceful look that almost made it seem as if she was just sleeping. Only, she wasn't, Jayson then looked closer and he could see the blood spilling out from the side of her head as the rest of her body laid there lifelessly. Jaysson felt his heart drop into his stomach and all his emotions that had been once suppressed rushed forth in all its glory. Jayson felt a sudden feeling of vertigo as he found himself quickly consumed in sadness, grief, and most of all….rage.

"Get off me you stupid filthy bird!" Kurumur screamed as she swatted at Allen who in turn angrily swatted back at her.

Allen then flew off to a nearby bench and perched there with a strange look. Kurumu could have sworn it was smirking at her.

"Ugh, whatever," she growls, she then smiles and then seductively calls out "Now where were we."

Her eyes then widen when she found Jayson staying at her with glowing angry red eyes and teeth bared. Before she could even let out a gasp Jayson lunges forward locking his hand around her neck in a vice like grip. Kurumu started to panic as she felt the hand of her supposed lover constrict. As the air circulation was cut off from her neck, her eyes rolled to the back of her head, her desperate gasp became less pronounced, and her knees began to buckle. Just as the cloudy blackness of unconsciousness started to fill her field of vision, Jayson then hurled her into the ground sending her toppling several feet away from him. Kurumu's quickly inflated as they fought for air and she found herself on her knees coughing her lungs out.

"Listen closely because I'm only going to ask this one," she heard Jayson growl calmly as he heard him step closer. "And if I don't like your answer," she heard a click and she slowly looked up and watched in horror as Jayson slowly raised a gruesome looking gun at her. "I'll blow your head off," he threatened, and Kurumu believed every word of it. "Why?"

Kurumu then began desperately crying "I-I'm sorry! I-"

"No!" Jason said sternly, what terrified Kurumu the most was how quickly Jason had gone from uncontrolled rage, to calm, cold, and calculating. "I didn't ask for an apology, I asked why. Why did you do it?"

"Because I had to," she whimpered out hoarsely.

A long pause radiated out from the pair before Jayson says simply "Explain."

Kurumu gulped and took a big breath before she started to explain, "My species, the succubus, we-we have a very….intricate way of picking out our mate." She wearily glanced at Jayson who was patiently waiting for her to continue, "It's a big part of our culture, to find our…. "destined one" from the men we tempt during our encounters. It's how we keep our race from dying out, but that same tradition after so many generations is starting to kill us." She then bowed her head in shame as she fought back the tears, "There was a time, when we could mate with any man we wanted to for reproduction, a-and of course it was always easier to do it with someone who actually loved you truly;but then we also risk the chance of that male not reciprocating our love and some succubus can't handle the grief and either kill male or themselves. That's why our tradition exists, to prevent that."

"And now your race has become reliant on "love," the essence that enabled your culture to flourish," Jayson finished, feeling sympathetic for her race.

"Relient?!" Kurumu cried, "We're not just reliant on it like some heroin addict on the side of the street, we can't actually live without it! My race is so addicted to love that if we enter a loveless relationship with our mate, we are literally killing ourselves, only slowly!" Kurumu took another deep breath and fought hard but could no longer hold her tears back as she continued on "Now we can't even at the very least maintain the longevity of our race because of that stupid fucking tradition! We start looking for our mate once we hit puberty at age ten, and I've spent the last five years searching and I haven't even come CLOSE!"

Jayson took a moment to process this new information and he shuddered at how eerily similar the situation her race enough that he could actually relate to her.

"How ironic that the one thing that's keeping us alive is also the thing that's killing us," she muttered before she finally broke down and collapsed on the floor. For what seemed like forever she sat there and just sobbed uncontrollably, blubbering out continuously "I'm sorry! I am so sorry! I didn't mean to do! I-just…. I just don't want to die! I don't want to die!"

Jayson let out a sad sigh as he turned the safety on his pistol back on, holstered it, and then pulled out a handkerchief from his pocket. He walks over to the crying heap, knees, and then gently picks her up. Kurumu wasn't expecting this, and her lips started to quiver at the thought of what he might do next. Kurumu shut her eyes tight expecting a quick death, but to her utter shock felt something soft touch her cheeks. She slowly opened her eyes and found the Jayson, the man she had literally just try to enslave, the man who had held her at gunpoint gently dabbing away at her tears. She was shocked, why was he being kind to her? She didn't deserve this, not from someone she so obviously hurt!

"You're lucky it was me," he whispered softly.

"Huh?"

"Someone else wouldn't have been nearly as forgiving as I am," he whispers. He then clears away the last of the smears and leans in and whispers "Now, catch your breath, and pick yourself back up. I'll be in touch." With one last glance, he gets out and leaves with Allen landing on his shoulder as if nothing happened.

Jayson let out a tired sigh as he collapsed onto his couch in the living room of his apartment. He closed his eyes for a moment as we recounted the events of what had happened today. He then her someone plop down onto the seat next to him. He looked over and saw Yukari offering him a soda.

"Thanks," he murmured quietly as he took the cold beverage and gently rubbed his temples.

"Tough day?" she asks casually.

"No, just long," Jayson replied taking a sip.

"Wanna talk about it?" Yukari asks. Jayson shrugs. "What monster was it."

'Straight to the point,' thought Jayson, "A succubus," he answers.

"Oof," she chuckles, "That sounds like a handful, but I'm sure you had it under control right Big Brother?"

"I did eventually?" Jayson muttered.

"I'm sorry?" she asks, not quite hearing him. He just shook his head, "I hope you're going to stay away from her then, those things act like parasites," Yukari shivered.

"Yukari, she's a person," he scolds.

"I'm just saying," Yukair argued back "I swear if she tries to take control of you."

"Don't worry, I think I'll be fine," Jayson rolled his eyes.

"I'm serious," she commented, "And I know you're probably going to see her again."

*boom*

All of a sudden the building shook.

"The heck?" Yukari murmurs as she sat up, Jayson went straight the window and saw the sky turn red. "What is it?"

"I don't know but I have a very good idea, " Jayson then ran for his armor, he quickly slipped into the suit and then clipped the helmet to his belt, he then pulls out a Geiger counter like device and the two watch as the needle jumps all the way to the other side. "Damn that's a big spike," he breathes.

"What are you doing?" Yukari asked, confused by his actions. "It's obviously a high level monster fight over there!"

"I'm going to try and mitigate the damage," Jayson replied as he grabbed his shot gun from off the rack and a belt of shells.

"Well, what should I do?" Yukari asks.

"Get the med-kit out, and get a pot of tea going," he replied. "I'll be right back."

"Big Brother!" Yukari called after him, Jayson looked back, "Be careful." Jayson nodded and then teleported out.

"Why did he want tea?" Yukari asked herself scratching her head at her Big Brother's response.

Linebreak

"No way," Kurumu gasped as she gaped at the transformation of what she thought was just a timid girl.

She watched as Moka's hair turned silver and her eyes turn red and the over all aura emitted from her went from 1 to 11. The seemingly timid girl stood up straight and confident, hell, she even had a smirk on her.

"You're a vampire," Kurumu breathes.

"Surprised?" Moka chuckles arrogantly. "Tell you what, I'll make it easy for you, you can just walk away, or you can stay, and well…." she smirked evilly, "I think we all know what will happen if you stay. So, what's going to be?"

"Of all the people," Kurumu hissed as she started to second guess herself, she then quickly shook the thoughts from her head and growled, "No matter, you think just because you're a vampire that it's going to make me back down?"

Moka shrugs "I don't care."

"Us Succubi has a very intricate way of finding our destined one!" Kurumu growls, "And you are not going to stop me from trying to save my race."

"Wow," Moka smirks, "Desperate much?"

"My dying out!" she shrieks, "I think I deserve to be a little desperate!"

"Tsk, tsk, sounds like a 'you' problem," Moka taunts.

"Arrrggghhh!" Kurumu roared as she swooped down in attempt to dive bomb the vampire.

"Too slow," Moka smirks as she sidestepped the swipes from Kurumu's claws and as she flew past, Moka grabbed onto her feet stopping her from escaping. Jayson, who had just arrived on the scene saw the whole altercation while hidden under his natural camouflage tonic. He decided to forgo wearing his helmet since it impaired his speech.

"Maybe I shouldn't have left her," he pondered. "I wonder who the vampire is?"

"What's wrong, am I too difficult for you?" Moka laughed as she observed Kurumu's futile attempts at breaking free from the vampire's grasp. "Frail egotistical girl."

"Uh oh," Jayson murmured as he pulled out his shotgun, "Time to go."

Moka then hurled Kurumu on the opposite direction launching her through several trees before she collapsed and sank on the fourth.

"Ugh," Kurumu gasped in pain as she tried to stand up but failed.

"Look at you," Moka jeered, "You come here acting like a little devil, but once someone pulls the curtain, they reveal that all you really are is just a naive little girl."

"Naive?" Kurumu gritted her teeth, "Like you would ever understand what it's like to watch as your race dies off because the one thing keeping them alive is also what's killing them."

"Well, then you should have thought of that before messing with a vampire," Moka growled, "You know, I should tear off those wings and tail of yours for what you tried to do."

Kurumu sat up straighter and proudly without fear stated "Well, what are you waiting for then?"

"Good girl," Moka nodded in amusement, "You've already learned your place."

Moka then launched herself into the air intending to strike Kurkumu with a super kick and Kurumu just slowly closed her eyes. Then out of nowhere Jayson ports in between them and hurls a bucking bronco at Moka suspending her in air. Only, Jayson was different, the only word Kurumu could describe his look was dead, specifically frowned. His skin had a blueish color and had a wet sort of look to it, while his were eyes bathed in a familiar red light.

Kurumu's eyes snapped open and widened once they fall upon her unannounced savior.

"What?!" Moka angrily growls, "What is this!"

Jayson wordlessly threw a sonic boom at Moka sending her back. He then cocks his shotgun and fires it into the air startling everyone.

"Enough!" he barks, "All of you!"

Moka quickly shook herself from the surprise and got back up to look at her would be challenger.

She squinted her eyes and asked, "Jayson?"

Jayson in turn squints is eyes, they then widened once he recognized the vampire "Moka?"

"Jayson?" Tsukune calls out in surprise, "What the hell are you going?! Let Moka do her job!"

Right as Tsukune took a step forward, Jayson quickly drew his pistol and aimed it at the human causing him to freeze in place.

"Move," she growls, "This girl needs to be taught a lesson."

"I'm afraid I can't let you do that," he stated firmly, as his grip tightened on his shotgun. "Either of you."

"You have any idea what she tried to do to Tsukune?" she growls.

"Yeah!" cried Tsukune, "She tried to brainwash me, and then tried to kill me!"

"I know," he nods. Well, okay, he didn't know about that second part, but then Jayson realized it's Tsukune and figured he must have done something to set her off.

"Than you why she needs to be made an example of," she growls.

"Let me take care of it," he murmurs. "I'll get my point across, just stop pointless violence. Now please stand down….would you kindly?"

Surprisingly, Tsukune stepped forward and said "Maybe he's Moka, it isn't too late to make peace."

"Hmph, fine," Moka straightened up, "But she is your responsibility now."

Without another word, she grabbed her rosary from Tsukune and placed it back on turning her back into our favorite pink haired student.

Jayson then walks over and gently picks up Kurumu holding her bridal style.

"Huh? What?" Kurumu murmured as she started blushing.

"Shh, I'll explain later, let's just get you out of here okay?" he whispers and Kurumu just nods. He then turns and says "See you tomorrow Tsukune, Moka."

"Goodbye!" Moka cheerfully waved.

"Good luck with her," Tsukune calls out.

*teleport*

"How do you think he does that?" Moka asks.

"Magic?" Tsukune offered as the two pondered a bit about their friend. "Magic is real right?"

Moka nods in confirmation.

"Ow!" Kurumu cries.

"Stop squirming, you'll make it worse," Jayson warned as he pulled out another wood shard from her back.

"Umm," she whimpered as he started to wipe down her cuts.

"Alright," he takes one more look, gently running his hand along her back checking for any he missed, "That's it."

"Mmm," she moaned as he touched her. It really didn't help that she was blushing like a shy schoolgirl the whole time, Kurumu was thankful she was facing away from him the entire time. "Sorry," she murmurs apologetically as she pulls her shirt back down.

"For what?" he asks.

"For trying to tempt you earlier," she replies.

"You don't need to say sorry. You've already been through enough today," Jayson hushes as he gently drapes a blanket around her shoulders.

"Thank you," she murmurs.

"Big Brother it's ready," Yukari calls out as she enters the room with a tea tray levitating behind her.

"Finally using other spells?" he asks cheekily.

"Thought I'd give it a shot," she answers while placing the tray onto the table. She hands Kurumu a cup instructing her "Here drink this. It's just tea, it'll help with the cold."

"Thank you," murmurs Kurumu as she is handed the steaming cup.

"There's sugar and milk on the table if you need it," Yukari adds as she takes her seat across from her. "Sorry we don't have any cookies or anything like that, neither of us can really bake, nor do we have the ingredients at the moment."

"W-why are you helping me?" she asks softly to the two. Yukari just glances over to Jayson.

"It's...just the right thing to do," he replies, not sure what else to say.

"But I was so horrible to you," she whimpers in shame.

"Yeah you were," Yukari growls, "You're lucky Big Brother is as forgiving as he is or I woulda-"

"Yukari," Jayson warned sternly quickly shutting her up. He turns back to her and continues, "You people's plight is eerily similar to mine, so I can't help but see myself in your shoes."

"What are you though?" she asks.

"All in due time," he chuckles. "Here, get some rest, you've been through a lot today." Before he stepped out, he leaned back and quickly added "You are always welcome here, as long as you don't abuse our kindness."

"I really don't deserve them to I?" she chuckled to herself as she started up into the ceiling with her big purple eyes.

Linebreak

Next morning:

Jayson wearily glanced around as he heard signing in the kitchen.

"Yukari?" he calls out.

"Yeah?" she answers behind him.

His eyes widened, "Wait if you're here, who is in the kitchen?"

He then slowly raised his M1911, Yukari raised her wand and Allen stood ready to strike on his shoulder. He slowly opened the door and saw something that shocked all three of them.

"Good morning!" Kurumu greeted cheerfully, you could never had guessed what happened to her yesterday because she looked spotless.

She hummed happily as she pulls out a tray of cookies from the oven, "Perfect," she smiled. "I baked you all cookies."

"I can see that," Jayson murmurs as he glances at both Allen and Yukari who both shrug.

"Well, try them," she nodded expectantly.

The three exchange some more glances before the each tried one.

"Damn it's good," Yukari whispers, Allen squawks in agreement.

"It's brilliant," Jayson smiles making Kurumu smile even wider.

She then started to look more nervous as she continues "So, you remember yesterday I told you about finding my destiny one."

'Where is this going?' Jayson thought as he slowly nodded.

"W-well, I think I've found him," she smiles shyly. "You."

Allen and Yukari's eyes widened at the news while Jayson sat there featureless for a few seconds.

He then shoves the rest of the cookie in his mouth and says "Okay."

"Huh?" Kurumu blinked, she had not expected such seemingly blatant acceptance.

"Y-yeah," he smiles nervously, unsure of how to approach this, "I'm happy for you."

*smack*

Both Allen and Yukari face palmed simultaneously as Jayson averted his eyes and just started walking for school trying his best to ignore the pressing feelings of confusion and embarrassment. After finally breaking out of the mental conditioning placed under him many years ago, Jayson struggled to regain an understanding of his former emotions. So far, the concept of love was something that still eluded him. For now though, his concerns were to first maintain the relationships he had built from the start of school. This was truly going to be an interesting year.

Author's Note: Man, I did not expect to write this much when I opened my computer. I literally had a handful of concepts I wanted to explore and when reading over the source material as well as the wiki, I wanted to see how well I could implement them into the already existing universe. I literally came up with the "love addiction" idea while sitting down listening to song random song with those exact words in the lyrics, so yeah, bear with me. Looks like there is going to be a romance in the story, but we'll save that for later, right now I just want to see ho
