"Morning Tsukune!" Moka said as she gave Tsukune a hug from behind, causing the male population around them to shoot Tsukune deathly glares.
"Morning Moka." Tsukune said.
"Where's Patrick?" Moka asked, looking around.
"I think he slept in." Tsukune said.
"HEY, WAIT UP!" Tsukune and Moka turned around to see Patrick running towards them.
"Sorry, forgot to set my alarm last night." Patrick said.
"Come on, we'll be late if we don't hurry up!" Moka told them. Moka started a quick pace down the path, but soon tripped.
"Moka!" Tsukune quickly rushed over to help her up. "Moka are you all right?"
"It's all right, my anemia is acting up, that's all." Moka told him.
"Moka... is it because you haven't sucked my blood in a while?" Tsukune asked her.
"Maybe..." Moka said rather embarrassed.
"You know, if you need it to stay healthy, I'll let you suck my blood if you want."
"You would?" Moka asked. "Tsukune... It would be the first time you let me suck your blood... thank you!"
With that Moka bit Tsukune's neck, which again, looked like she was giving him a kiss on the neck.
"You know..." Patrick said. "not like I'm complaining, but out of idle curiosity, how come you only suck Tsukune's blood?"
"Oh, Tsukune's blood is much tastier than any of the blood I've had from transfusion packs, grade A, the mineral balance if perfect, and it has a spicy tang to it..." Moka said, as if she'd put much thought to the subject. "I think I might even get addicted to it. Also, Tsukune's the first person I've sucked blood from, I've always had it from transfusion packs before."
"I see..." Patrick said, slightly regretting he had asked.
"Anyway, come on, we're going to be late if we don't hurry." He said.

"Good morning class!" Ms. Nekonome said. "Today we are going to join different clubs, so as to better understand Humans! The clubs are ones that Humans have, and if we participate in the different clubs, we will better learn Human values, ideals, and the like!" She explained.
"So today, you shall pick a club to attend to, so as to better coexist with Humans! Be sure to visit the newspaper club, of which I'm the sponsor."
"Um.. Ms. Nekonome." One of the students said. "Your tail is showing."
The teacher turned to sea a cat tail pointing out of her skirt. She then clawed the face of the student who pointed this out, for no real reason as far as anyone else could see.
------
Tsukune, Patrick, Moka, and Mizore were outside of the school, where each club had set up a stand. There were plenty of them, some were normal, but some you definitely wouldn't find in a normal Human high school, such as the mummy club, the acupuncture club, and many more.
"Come on guys, let's join the same club together!" Moka said rather cheerfully.
"Um.. Moka don't you think some of these clubs are a little strange?" Tsukune said.
"Oh come on it'll be fun!" Moka told him.
"Hey are you Moka Akishiya?" Tsukune looked to see who had spoken, and saw a boy who's face looked like it had frozen in a permanent scream.
"Would you mind joining the Paranormal photography club, you could model, would you mind doing nudes?" The student said.
"Ahh! No way!" Moka screamed, clutching on to Tsukune.
'Part of me tells me that Moka is using club day as an excuse to hold on to Tsukune.' Patrick thought.
And that was only the beginning, many of the other clubs tried to recruit Moka solely based on her looks, the Chemistry club even tried to get Moka to sample a love potion, which given the nature of the school, may very well of worked.
"Does this school not have a normal club at all?" Tsukune lamented.
"Given the luck we've had so far, there's no way it would, I mean, we almost got ourselves killed on the first day, and then on the second day, a sex demon tried to seduce us, according to the rule of three, we should have been trapped in a genie's lamp on wednesday." Patrick said.
"That's an interesting way of looking at it, don't you think?" Tsukune asked Patrick.
"Well that's just how I look at life, things could be better, but they can always be worse, but the point is, we're given our share of life, and while complaining about it can make you feel better, it's not going to change diddly." Patrick said.
"That's a rather philosophical Patrick." Mizore said.
"Why thank you Mizore." Patrick said. "Hey, wonder what the commotion over there is?" Patrick pointed to a large group of students, most of them males, crowding over a certain booth. The group headed toward the booth to see if it was what could be considered 'normal', or at the very least, had members that wouldn't try to molest Moka.
"My name is Tamao Ichinose, let's swim together." The head of the club said. She was wearing a swimsuit, and obviously using her looks to entice the males to join the club. She had green hair and eyes, and had a rather pretty face.
"It's a swimsuit!" The male populous of the crowd cried out.
"And all of them are cute!"
"Hey, Moka." Mizore said.
"Yes Mizore"
"Have you ever noticed that the only boys that don't act like perverts are Patrick and Tsukune?" She said.
"Yeah, it's good thing too, I hate perverts." Moka said.
"Oh, well Moka, I can assure I'm not a pervert at all." Tsukune said.
"I'd just prefer it if they started thinking about being in an emotional relationship before they make those kinds of comments." Mizore commented.
"Well, anyways, this looks like a normal club." Tsukune said.
"So far, the swimming club has only female members, any guys who join now will receive special services from the seniors." The club leader, Tamoa, said.
"'Special services' huh?" Patrick said.
"How about you, do you want to join the swimming club?" Tamoa said.
"Let's check it out guys." Tsukune said."I've gotten swimming lessons before."
"I'd like to, but I don't know how to swim." Patrick said.
"Really?" Tsukune said.
"Me neither." Mizore said.
"What about you Moka?" Tsukune asked.
"Vampires have to avoid as much contact with water as possible, it's purifying effects are very dangerous." Moka told Tsukune.
"Oh, that was a close one, I don't want to join a club if none of my friends are in it." Tsukune said. 'It's a shame I couldn't show Moka one of my talents, but I'd make a real fool of myself if I'd forced Moka into joining the club. Though it would have been nice to see Moka in a swimsuit.'
"Besides, rule of three remember, the members are all probably something akin to Sirens." Patrick said.
"Let's find another club okay?" Moka said.
-----
"Nothing!" Patrick said as he threw his arms up in desperation.
"It seems as though the only clubs are ones that want to molest me and Moka..." Mizore said.
"Ones that to seduce me and Patrick..." Tsukune said.
"Or ones that we can't attend for 'certain reasons'." Moka said.
"Or clubs that are all three." Patrick said.
"What clubs were-" Moka said.
"Remember the 'alternative art' club?" Patrick reminded her.
"That was definitely disturbing." Mizore said.
"So, what's left?" Tsukune asked.
"Well, I think Ms. Nekonome mentioned a Newspaper club." Mizore said.
"It's bound to be packed, but it can't be any worse those other clubs." Patrick said.
"So it's agreed, we join the Newspaper club?" Moka said.
"Let's go for it." Said Tsukune.
-----
"Ms. Nekonome?" The teacher looked up from her meal to see Patrick in front of her. "Me, Tsukune, Moka, and Mizore have decided to join the Newspaper club."
"YOU HAVE!?" Ms. Nekonome was completely taken by shock. "I didn't think anyone would actually be stup- I mean..." The teacher slowed down as she saw the looks the students were giving her.
"Our first meeting is today at 4:00, room 103, you can meet the other club members there!" With that the teacher packed up her meal, and left before the students could say anything else.
-----
"Well then, we shall start the Youkai Academy's Newspaper Club activity now." Ms. Nekonome.
"Excuse, Ms. Nekonome?" Patrick said as he raised an arm.
"Yes Mr. Fairfax?"
"Are we the only members of the club?"
Aside for the Teacher, and the new members (Patrick, Moka, Mizore, and Tsukune), the classroom they were in, was completely empty.
"My, of course not." She said.
Then the door opened, and someone came in.
"Sorry." he said.
"See, he's here already." The teacher said.
"I'm really sorry for being late on the first day of activities." He said. The other member had his face hidden by two bunches of rose's. As he lowered the flower's he revealed his face. He had rather handsome features, wore a red hairband, and had his green jacket unbuttoned. He also had a necklace with a wolf holding a ring in it's mouth.
"Nice to meet you guys." He said. "I'm the club leader, Ginei Morioka. You can call me Gin if you want."
Gin then handed out a bunch of roses to Moka, and Mizore.
"I brought these flowers to welcome the new members of our club... indeed, pretty ladies compliment well with red flowers."
"What, no flowers for us?" Patrick said.
"Gin is the only second year member of the club here. As we don't have any third year students here, or any fourth year students, Gin is the only other member of the club. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask Gin." Ms. Nekonome said.
"You can count on me." Gin said.
"The staff meeting is going to start soon." Ms. Nekonome said. "The rest is up to you, Gin." With that the teacher left the students to their own devices.
"Leave it to me." Gin said. With that Gin took a seat behind the large table everyone else was sitting around. "And so, let me introduce the Newspaper club to you guys. The main objective of the Newspaper club is to make and distribute the school newspaper, and to report any happenings in the school, then write them in the newspaper. For the sake of reporting, we must put ourselves on the line."
"Um, are we actually going to have to risk our lives?" Tsukune asked.
"For that reason, we are very different from any other clubs!" Gin said with much flair."Once you have joined, you must prepare yourself."
"In more ways than one apparently." Patrick said quietly.
"He seems to be someone you can count on, unexpectedly though." Moka said.
"Just kidding; don't be so tense, let's all get along with each other." Gin said. "If you have any material to report, speak up."
After some brainstorming, Patrick said, "Do you think we could interview different clubs?"
"What do you mean?" Gin asked.
"See how their club activities are going, ask for some interviews with the club members, I was thinking about interviewing the swimming club. It's got the most members out of any club in the academy."
"Well, you'll need a camera." Gin said, as he got up, and picked a camera and handed it to Patrick.
"But, one article, a Newspaper does not make, let's see if we can think of some other things.
After some more brainstorming, Mizore said, "What about the serial peeping tom?"
"There's been a peeping tom going around?" Patrick asked.
"Yes," Moka said. "I've heard that no matter where you are, in your room, the bathroom, changing room, this guy will find you, and all you'll see is a shadow of a beast, and a flash of a camera as he takes your picture, I've heard rumors that the guys a panty thief too!"
"The reason no one's caught him is because he's so fast, nobodies been able to see his face clearly yet." Mizore said.
"Peeping is despicable in my opinion." Patrick said.
"He's an enemy to all women and can't be forgiven!" Moka said.
"Well, let's find him, and expose the peeper to the entire school." Mizore said.
"Well, if that's the case, we should find people with information." Gin told them.
"How do we find him though?" Tsukune asked.
"The basis for reporting is... going around, asking for information, and... asking help from the public." Gin said. "So how about we make some posters asking for information about the Peeper around school."
"That's you idea, a poster?" Patrick said.
"You have any better ideas?" Gin said.
"How about we go around asking the victims, we're bound to come up with something then."
"Ah, that's crazy talk, listen to your seniors kid." Gin said, flashing a knowing smile.
------
"Well, guess I'm off to interview the swimming club. If I don't come back a live, my Will is under my pillow." Patrick said. With that, he headed towards the school pool.
"Okay, you as for you, Moka, and...Mi..zore?" Gin looked to see where Mizore had gone to.
"Where'd Mizore go?" Gin asked.
"Mizore has developed a... habit, of stalking Patrick." Moka answered.
"And he's okay with that?" Gin said.
"Ah, she's just shy."
"Anyway, let's get to hanging up those posters, Moka how about you hang one up there." Gin said pointing to a spot that was really high up.
"All the way up there?" Moka asked.
"I brought a step-ladder for you." Gin said, magically producing a step-ladder for Moka to use.
"Is this good?" Moka asked holding the poster to the wall.
"Higher." He said.
"Higher, you got to be kidding me, this is as high as I can go!" Moka said.
"Still higher!"
'Gin's carefree at times, and serious at other times, what kind of person is Gin?' Tsukune thought to himself.
Gin was crouching behind Moka, and Tsukune crouched down as well, to see what he was looking at.
He was rewarded with a beautiful, perverted view of Moka's undies.
"Tsukune, I didn't think you were the perverted type." Gin said.
"What was that?" Moka asked.
"Tsukune here was just peeking at your underwear Moka." Gin told her.
"Tsukune is that true?!" Moka exclaimed.
"NO! I mean, technically I did, but it was-" Tsukune desperately said trying to say what he was trying to say.
"Tsukune! I hate perverts!" With that Moka stormed out of the room, leaving a bewildered Tsukune.
"That's what you get for peeping Tsukune, well, I'm off." Gin said, heading towards the door.
"Your the one that was peeping Gin!" Tsukune shouted, but Gin had already left. "Great, now what?"
-------
"Greetings, your Ms. Ichinose, right?" Patrick asked the captain of the swimming club.
Tamoa Ichinose was resting on the edge of the pool, her lower half still in the pool, with her hands resting on the edge.
"No need for such formalities, call me Tamoa." She told him.
"Okay, I'm doing my first interview for the school newspaper, and we decided to interview the swimming club." He explained.
"Really, that's rather nice of you guys, I thought the club was cancelled last year." She said.
"Um... well if it is, then I guess I should head back then."
"Ah, don't leave, I'd certainly enjoy the conversation, even if it isn't printed." Tamoa said.
"Oh, all right then," Patrick pulled out a notebook and pen, "well, first of all, what kind of activities do you do, naturally someone would think swimming, but anything else?"
"We have all kinds of water sports: Races, wars, obstacle courses and much more." She told him.
"Wait a minute, back up, what do you mean by wars." Patrick asked. him
"Oh, well, what we do is, two members hold up a third, who has a ribbon tied to them, the goal is to take the ribbon of your opponent, without falling off the other two members." She explained to him.
"Ahh, okay, earlier when me and my friends were looking around, you mentioned something about 'special services' would you mind elaborating on what you meant?"
"Oh I'd love too!" Tamoa exclaimed.
Unnoticed by the two of them, Mizore was hiding in the trees, watching as the interview. As a nervous habit she had developed, she was creating ice daggers, and impaling them in a nearby tree. The tree had about ten, make that eleven daggers in it.
'I don't trust that woman, something about her seems fishy. Why does she seem so interested in Patrick?' She thought.
------
30 minutes later
------
"Okay, thank you Tamoa, I had a good time, how about I come tomorrow for that for that swimming club festival to take some pictures?" Patrick said.
"That would be wonderful, I hope we have a good time together." She told him.
With that, Patrick left the pool, and looked over what he had written down from their conversation. Patrick was a little sorry he hadn't joined the swimming club, it seemed like a lot of fun.
Mizore looked at the tree she had been using as a target. It looked more like a ice sculpture, it had so many ice daggers in it.
'at least I didn't take up nail-biting' She thought to herself.
------
Gin looked over the notes that Patrick had taken.
"Looks good, put in some effort into it, and you could have a half-decent article here."
"What do you mean by 'half-decent'?" Patrick asked him.
"Hey, your a freshman here, you need to get some experience here before you can come up with something respectable." Gin told him.
"You know, I'm gonna ignore that. Also, I've been wondering if I could have an advice column."
"An advice column?" Gin responded.
"I fancy myself to be somewhat of a philosopher, I thought I could write down some of my words of wisdom for anyone who would listen, just as a side column." Patrick explained.
Gin simply laughed at the Idea.
"I could show you first, see what you think." Patrick said.
"Yeah, Patrick, you can't act like you have good Ideas, that's were I come in, just get that swimming club article ready."
"You know, if your such a team player, then what have you done for the newspaper so far?" Patrick asked him.
"I tell everyone what to do, so now you just head home, and we get that article to me before the deadline." Gin told him.
------
"That arrogant..." Patrick grumbled as he headed towards the dorm. "Nobody ever cares about what I have to say."
As he walked down the path, he noticed Tsukune walking down the path. He looked as though he had lost all hope in the world.
"Hey Tsukune, what's with the long face?"
"Oh... hey Patrick." Tsukune said. "Moka stopped talking to me today, she wants nothing to do with me."
"Why's that, what happened?" Patrick asked him.
"I got framed."
"For what?"
"Panty peeping." Tsukune said ashamedly.
"Say wha?"
"Gin had Moka putting up posters, and I saw him crouching down and looking up, so I crouched down to see what I was looking at, and then I saw Moka's underwear."
"I see." Patrick said.
"Then she ran out, I tried to tell her I only peeped by accident, but she told me she didn't want to talk to me."
"So you admitted that you peeped?" Patrick inquired.
"Why, is that a bad thing?" Tsukune asked.
"Oh, Tsukune, when people, especially women, get a certain idea, and certain mindset, they will be unable to listen to anything that doesn't agree with them, even if it's obvious their wrong."
"Where do you get these?" Tsukune asked.
"Some I quote from great figures of history, and others, I make up as the situation depends." Patrick told him. "Come on, tomorrow will provide answers. By the way, I got invited to a swimming club event, and I think the captain of the club has a bit of a crush on me, so I think I could get her to let you join, that could probably get your mind off of these sour turn of events."
"Thanks Patrick, your a good friend." Tsukune said.
"That's what I strive to be." Patrick said.
