Nathan lay back in his single bed and sighed wistfully, Kurumu.
Flashback:
"Bloody Hell that's some A-grade shit!" cried Nathan as he withdrew from Kurumu's neck.
She looked up at him with a blissful expression and a blush, "Huh?".
He then realized that he'd accidently switched back to English, "Sorry, I said that your blood is reallllly good!".
Kurumu grinned, "Well of course, it's the best!".
After a moment things became silent.
Truth be told there were things hanging in the air, things he wanted to ask, like "Hey wanna see a movie?" or "Want to get Coffee or something?".
But he knew that she was set on Tsukune, now I know what a love triangle is like, he thought, still he doesn't feel the same way so maybe…
"Nathan?".
He broke out of his thoughts, "Yeah?".
"Are you ok, you seem a little distracted".
A shocked expression enveloped his face, "I was?".
"Yes".
"Oh well sorry about that".
"No problem".
Flashback end:
If I openly ask her no doubt she'll reject me maybe if I…
Nathan's thoughts were interrupted as he felt a dull pain in his shoulder, looking around he realized he had fallen off the bed.
Getting up he sat back on his bed and began fiddling with his Rosario, "At any rate I'll have to wait and see".
Nathan sighed as he watched a few of the kids outside in P.E from the window.
English class was surprisingly normal, normal, normal and boring.
Out of the corner of his eye he spied Tsukune and Moka gazing at eachother, the latter holding out a rubber.
He spied that purple-haired girl scribbling something in her notebook.
Leaning out of his desk a little he saw he writing 'Tsukune' over and over again, she must be this 'stalker' I keep hearing about, creepy.
"Adams-san!".
Nathan sat back up and looked to the source of the voice, the English teacher had caught him.
"Since you have the time to stare at Shirayuki-san's backside then maybe you could answer the question repeat what I just said".
The Girl glanced back at him.
Nathan frowned, "I didn't", although she does have a great ass.
The mid-thirties male teacher glared at him, "Are accusing a teacher of lying?".
This guy's starting to piss me off, "No, I'm saying you're wrong".
The Teacher grinded his teeth, "That's it!, out in the hall now!".
He shrugged and got up, "Then I'll take my leave".
Out in the hallway Nathan fiddled with his Rosario, letting his mind drift.
I wonder what his grudge is?, and speaking of grudges I wonder who sent those guys yesterday.
He blinked as he watched a Dark Blue-haired girl with glasses walk by and promptly drop some of the books she had bundled in her arms.
With a mental chuckle at the stereotype he quickly walked up to and helped her pick up the books, "Heard of the term 'don't bite off more than you can chew'?".
She looked up at him in confusion, "Huh?".
Nathan sighed and handed her the last book, "Never mind, the names Nathan Adams by the way".
The girl shyly nodded and ducked her head, "I…I'm R..Ran O…Otonashi".
He smiled at Ran, I think she's shy!, "May I ask why you're carrying all these books around?".
"Oh!, I was just returning some books to the library!".
Nathan frowned as he began to feel as if his world was shrinking in size, centering around her, shaking it off he sighed, "Well I'd help but I'm still technically in class".
And then to spite him the bell rang, "…Ok, let me get my stuff".
After helping Ran carry her rather large pile of books to the library she thanked him and quickly disappeared.
"Huh" Nathan muttered to himself, "She is shy".
Seeing as it was lunch he headed towards the cafeteria.
Since it was in one of the other buildings he crossed one of the small courtyards and made it to the door before he heard muffled voices.
As he got closer he could make out what they were saying, "What do you mean your powers didn't work on him!?!".
He flattened himself on the corner and took a quick tinny peak around.
Around the corner two girls, one with waist-long pink hair and blonde tips and wearing cat ears hat was talking to none other than Ran, while the other, with shoulder length blonde hair with orange tips, leaned against the side of the building, seemingly listening to music.
"I don't know, he was charming but he wasn't charmed!", replied Ran.
Ducking behind the corner Nathan thought to himself, she must only be shy around guys.
"Its much more likely that you weren't doing it properly!".
The Blonde one slung her stereo-headphones around her neck and stepped between the two, "If it didn't work then that means he is a powerful Yokai, you may need to charm him the old fashioned way".
Sighing to himself he headed back towards the Cafeteria door, with all this talk of charming they're either Siren or Succubi, and judging by their…size they'd have to be Sirens.
After Nathan had waited in line and retrieved a platter of food, he found a empty table and planted himself there.
While he was swimming in his thoughts he didn't notice as Tsukune approached him, "Do you mind if we sit here?".
Looking up Nathan nodded, "Sure thing".
After he and the Pink-haired girl sat down, Tsukune offered him his hand, "I'm Tsukune Aono".
Shaking it Nathan replied, "Nathan Adams".
The Japanese boy chuckled, "I know, that was something back in English".
Nathan put up both his hands, "I really wasn't staring at her ass".
The Pink-haired girl extended her hand as well, "I'm Moka Akashiya, it's nice to meet you".
Moka Akashiya, seems familiar…, "And you Moka-san".
As the three started chatting they didn't notice as a certain 12 year old witch glared at Nathan.
She yelled, "Baka!" and then waved her wand, casing a large pan to come out of nowhere and hit Nathan on the head, in turn causing him to fall off the seat.
"I'm the one that's supposed to have the threesome with Moka-san and Tsukune-Kun!".
As Nathan laid on the ground rubbing the bump on his head Kurumu came out of nowhere and latched onto Tsukune's back, "Tsukune-Kun!, let's go for a picnic!".
Then she noticed Nathan on the ground, "Huh?, Nathan-kun?, what are you doing down there?".
Pulling himself up he pointed at the little witch trying to squeeze herself between Tsukune and Moka, "she attacked me with a metal pan".
Kurumu glared at her, "Yukari!".
As she was about retort the air temperature dropped to zero.
Everyone shivered as a pair of icy blue eyes appeared from underneath the table.
"Stop it Mizore!" cried both Yukari and Kurumu as they rubbed their arms furiously to keep them warm.
Nathan followed the direction of the Icy stalker's gaze towards Tsukune and Moka, of which the latter was feeding on the former.
He smirked as Moka attempted to fend off Kurumu who was berating her.
The next week was rather dull, Nathan thought, as nothing much happened at all, at least compared to the first day.
It was morning Homeroom class; Tsukune and Moka were gazing at each other, Nathan was studying a cookie.
Something he quickly learned Kurumu was very good at making, trying to decide whether she had poisoned it to get revenge on him for jumping her the day before and feeding.
She was watching him, trying to decide who he really was.
Yukari was thinking up a way to convince Tsukune to have a threesome involving him, Moka and her.
Mizore was gazing outside, thinking up a poem about being frozen in Ice.
As the room's door open Ms Nekonome walked into the with a smile on her face, "Ohiyo everyone!, this afternoon is the Club fair!".
Repositioning himself Nathan turned his attention from the cookie to the teacher.
"The First years and those that have transferred will be required to pick a club and those of you already in a club will probably be asked to put on a display!".
Nathan raised his eyebrows, Clubs huh?, then he glanced at Tsukune, I wonder which one he and the girls are in.
As he was told First years and Transfers were required to pick a club.
Which was what he was doing, picking a club, or at least trying.
Everyone of the Club booths he had passed so far had been weird or potentially deadly.
An example of deadly would be the swimming club, which seemed to be captained by a really hot chick, the only trick was that she smelt like a predator, making the pool a trap.
As Nathan was finally about to give up hope he heard a familiar voice, "Join the newspaper club!".
Squeezing himself through the crowd he came upon Kurumu and Yukari dressed in French maid costumes handing out newspapers.
Smirking he approached them, "Can I have one?, I hear there's an interview with the hot new exchange student".
Kurumu quickly spotted him and smirked, "Nope he wasn't interesting enough".
Nathan chuckled, "That's a shame, but I'd like to read it all the same".
Nodding she handed him one, "Here".
Thanking her he un-rolled it, his eyes shot up when he spotted the Head line.
It read;
Memory loss epidemic!
All across campus there have been reports of seemingly random attacks on various female students by Male students who later remember nothing of the past day.
One reporter would have been a victim of one such attack if it weren't for the Werepyre.
Immediately Nathan stopped reading and looked back at Kurumu, "You told them what I am?".
She grimaced and shrugged, "It slipped out…sorry!".
He thought for a moment then he sighed, Dam I can't stay made at her!, "I suppose its fine, most here are young and I doubt a certain pink haired Vampire knows much if anything".
After a moment Nathan watched Tsukune, Moka, Yukari and some Japanese guy with black hair.
He must be that Ginei guy that they told me about.
Taking a few sniffs of air he groaned mentally, Oh just great!, a Werewolf!.
Well all the other clubs are either weird or foreboding and most of the people in it seem pretty cool…, "Hey Kurumu?".
Aforementioned Succubus blinked, "Yes?".
"Were do I sign up?".
As per his overprotective mother's instruction Nathan was heading towards the phones to call her at the end of the week.
As he drew closer he began to hear what he thought was Kurumu's voice.
Stopping at the corner he peeked around to find that it was indeed Kurum, talking to what seemed to be the mother she mentioned occasionally.
"No Mother I haven't made Tsukune mine yet!".
"Nothings the matter I'm just a little confused!".
"No it's just that…I don't know".
"He only shows that sort of attention to Moka!".
"I'm not sure I want to anymore"
"It's just this other guy, there's something about him".
At this Nathan's ears pricked up, is she talking about me…no it cant be.
"He's tall, brown hair, chocolate brown eyes, great body and he's foreign!".
"He said he's from Australia".
"Umm…I can't tell you, but I can tell you he's really powerful".
"What!?!, No!, I mean… ", she sighed, "I don't know".
After the chatter seemed to become girl talk Nathan walked in.
Spotting him Kurumu sputtered, "Oh Nathan!, I didn't see you there!".
He inclined his head, "Don't worry, I've just got to make a call and I'll be out of you hair".
After a saying her goodbyes to both her Mother and Nathan, Kurumu quickly left.
Sighing to himself he placed a coin in the phone and dialed his Mother's number
After a few rings a female voice answered, "Adams Residence".
"Mom?".
"Nathan!, how are you?".
"I'm pretty good".
"How is school so far?"
After a few moments of fore thought Nathan spent the next several minutes filling in on what had happened so far.
After he finished his mother paused for a few seconds, "What do you think of this Kurumu girl?".
"Well besides the fact that she's incredibly attractive and that her blood tastes good, she's a pretty good cook his her cookies are any indication and besides the reputation she seems to have with the women she's actually a soft and caring person under it all".
"Do you…like her?".
Nathan smiled a little to himself, "I think I do".
The next day during, early during lunch, as Nathan was lazily sucking on his second Tomato juice, when Kurumu walked up to him briskly, sat down and said, "Lets go out this weekend".
Ooooooh what will his answer be?.
Anyway hope you guys enjoyed!.
Oh, Ran and those two girls are actual characters, which I don't own, that appear only in appear in the PS2 game.
And for those of you that think that the sudden 'Proposal' doesn't make sense then don't worry, it will be explained in the next chapter.
