Alright, Long wait but here's the next Chapter, Jeez, I've been so tied up with A LOT of things and I barely have time to update _.
________________________________________________________________________
Shinjai sighed a loud as he glared out his window, Sunday, The one day he found to be of total annoyance, Well, He leaned more towards boring then Annoying, Rain poured outside, He looked down towards the ground and shook his head,
"Dammit Akira" said girl was out in the rain,
"Yahoo!" The girl seemed to love to play in the rain, Rolling around in the mud, it all seemed amusing to her, he smiled a bit down at her though, it soon dropped as he heard knocking on his door.
"Come in, Door's unlocked" He didn't turn away from the window, He kept his eyes on his cousin, making sure that if she got hurt somehow, He would know, The creaking sound of the door opening always annoyed him, When it fully opened, it revealed Tsukune on the other side.
"Oh, Hey, Tsukune" he turned away only for a second to see who was coming in, Tsukune took a moment to look around his room before walking up to Shinjai to see what he was looking at.
"Heh, seem's like Akira-san is having fun" Shinjai nodded with a amused look on his face,
"This rain is really throwing a wrench into our training schedule though, we need to keep up the training so we can have a better chance at whatever is coming"
"True" Tsukune sighed, he walked over to Shinjai's bed and plopped down on it, He then took notice of something in a case on Shinjai's bookshelf, Something no normal boy would have.
"U-Um, S-Shinjai-san?, I-Is that a..."
"Doll?, Yes, I dunno why, but when I was young I use to make dolls for no reason as I had no one else other then Hi-chan with me" Tsukune stood and walked over to the doll in the case, if it was real it could be around the height of a 5-6 year old, Tsukune reached for it.
"Don't touch" Tsukune's hand jerked away,
"G-Gomen"
"Nah, It's alright, I just don't want Midoriku to be damaged or something" The doll now known as Midoriku had dark green hair to it's back with a black head band along the top, It's hair was decorated with purple flowers, It's eyes was light green, It wore a blue dress with a brown one over it, It looked to be made of some of the finest material, It wore violet gloves and had white socks with purple along one side of it, lastly it had on black healed shoes.
"You made this?"
"The word 'duh' comes to mind" Shinjai rolled his eyes,
"This was the first doll I ever made, over time I kept it in perfect condition, Sure I made some more to go along with it, And I love them all equally, But Midoriku was my first doll so...." He turned away, sorta embarrassed at the long, stupid speech.
"You tell anyone what I said or that I make dolls and I'll reconsider eating you" Tsukune laughed nervously and nodded, Jeez, If this guy wanted to keep a secret, He'd make sure it was kept.
"What's this?, Are you so embarrassed that you can make dolls you'd give him a death threat?" Hitome chuckled a bit inside her mirror, Shinjai gave a deadly look over to the woman.
"Shut your mouth, Hi-chan" The woman laughed a loud this time.
"Or what?, I know you won't smash the mirror, you're threats mean nothing to me" Shinjai gave off a creepy grin while picking up her mirror and looking her dead in the eyes.
"It's not what I'll do now, it's what I'll do when you get out" Hitome narrowed her eyes at her 'partner', How dare he threaten her like that?, And afer all she's done to make him stronger too!.
"S-Speaking of, How are you gonna free her, Shinjai-san?" Shinjai turned to Tsukune while laying down the mirror, He sighed a bit,
"Well, according to Hi-chan, She needs three immensely powerful Youkai's to share their energy and fuse it with the mirror all at once, The mirror will then shatter cause of the energy, And Hi-chan will be free" He rubbed the back of his head.
"According to her, I'm strong enough to be one of those, I dunno if Moka will be willing to help or not, If so she'll be the second, Then all we'll need is a third, You're not yet strong enough, But we need to free her soon if this evil is as powerful as Akira thinks it is" Tsukune nodded, Taking in each and every word.
"I know Kuyou wouldn't be willing to help, Gin-senpai isn't strong enough, Neither is Kurumu-chan, Yukari-chan or Mizore-chan, I don't think none of the teachers are gonna help at all" Tsukune rubbed his chin in thought, Shinjai snapped his fingers.
"Hell, If Moka's sister, Karua, was here, I could probably get her to join our side so she could be the third" Tsukune sweat dropped at that.
"U-Uh, That photo might've been taking a long time ago, A-And by now that Karua girl might've turned into someone like the Inner Moka-san" Shinjai's look of happiness turned into a annoyed look, He glared at Tsukune.
"Mood Killer" Tsukune laughed at that, Shinjai meanwhile, Walked back over to the window and looked to the sky, Figuring this out was harder then figuring out why dogs chased cats, A mystery.
Next Day, With Sangre
Sangre sighed a loud while walking out of the hotel he had to rent, He may have not had a strong weakness to water, But he still never liked it, He looked back inside the building, He sighed and fully turned around,
"Aoi!, Hurry up!"
"Coming, Sangre-sama!" The young girl chased after him, Laughing all the while, He shook his head, He would never figure out why this girl acted so cheerful when she should be fearing him, Sangre, one of the strongest Vampires to ever exist, He turned around and began his advance towards Youkai Academy with Aoi in tow.
"Hey, Sangre-sama?, will when Karua-san meet up with us?" The girl again pulled out a piece of paper, folding it into a bird shape before lighting it on fire with a snap of her fingers, She threw the bird into the sky, it flapped it's burning wings until it turned into ashes.
"Dunno, Don't give a damn" he watched as she made another bird and threw it, No matter how many times she did that, he couldn't figure out what kind of Youkai she was, to his knowledge, There were many creatures that could use, or breath, fire.
"Aw, Don't say that, Sangre-sama!" Sangre looked ahead and saw a group of people walking the opposite direction they were, He could tell just by looking they were some low ranked Youkai's, As long as they steered clear of them, He wouldn't murder them, He was proven wrong as the three blocked off their path.
"Move it, now" his cold red eyes glared at the group, They seemed to tense up at those eyes,
"Listen, All we want is that girl, We haven't eaten in days and she looks good enough to-" the leader, the one in the middle, then collapsed, blood spewing from his mouth, Aoi ran behind Sangre as the mans body exploded.
"No one, Is going to hurt Aoi" he looked to the other two's chest, more likely, the area where they're hearts would be, Those two soon collapsed to, and, just as their leader, Exploded, his cold eyes glared down at them, Blood was splattered around the area, Sangre had pulled up a small barrier to shield him from the flying blood.
"Alright, They're dead, you can come out now" Aoi shook her head while hanging on to Sangre's pants leg, he sighed and continued to walk forward, Aoi still clinging to his leg, This was confusing to him, he had just slaughtered a trio of low level Youkai in order to protect Aoi, a little girl no less, He sighed, trying to figure this out was as confusing as figuring out why the Vampire's weakness was Water, and why they could be weakened with Rosario's.
"A-Arigato, S-Sangre-sama" Sangre struggled to keep a oncoming smile off of his face, Wait, did he just want to SMILE?!, This girl must be infecting him with some sort of disease.
"It's nothing, Now get out from behind me" the girl smiled a bit, Sangre may not show it on the outside, but she knew he cared for her, as long as she knew that, she didn't care about anything else.
Youkai Academy
"Akira, What is with you and playing in the damn mud?!" It was just before class as Shinjai and Akira were both in the same classes.
"Hey, You better be lucky I ain't telling everyone you make dolls!" She whispered this as to keep her promise of not telling anyone, He narrowed his eyes at his cousin.
"Mutt"
"Lizard"
"Flea-Bag!"
"Hot-Head!"
"CANNIBAL!"
"FABRICANTE DE MUNECAS!" The two glared at the other before turning away with a loud "HMPH!", thank god no one in the room knew what she just said, She had just said 'Doll Maker!' in Spanish, if she had said that in English, then he could never live it down,
"Those two are at it again~desu" Yukari spoke from her seat, Akira and Shinjai were arguing on the other side of the room, But even over there the group could hear what was being said.
"Did she just say 'Doll Maker'?" Tsukune tensed at Kurumu's words,
"N-No!, Besides, W-Why would Shinjai make dolls?" He laughed nervously before grabbing Moka's hand,
"M-Moka-san, Could we talk in private for a minute?"
"U-Uh, S-Sure, Tsukune" The two walked out of the room before Yukari or Kurumu could speak up, Wait, where was Mizore?!.
Outside the Classroom
"S-So, What is it, Tsukune?"
"Um, Moka-san, What I'm about to say is a secret, PLEASE keep it a secret, Ok?"
"H-Hai, But, What is it?"
"Shinjai, He does make dolls, But he doesn't want anyone to know, Now only me, you and Akira-san know of it, So please don't tell anyone, He said he'd kill me if I told anyone" Suddenly, Mizore popped up out of nowhere.
"So, Shinjai makes dolls does he?, Interesting" her sudden appearance spooked Tsukune and Moka,
"M-Mizore-chan!, P-Please don't tell anyone!, He'll skin me alive if he found out more then us knew!" Mizore looked over at him.
"If it keeps Tsukune alive so he could possibly give me a child one day, I shall keep it a secret"
"R-Right, C-C-Child" nervousness was in the boys voice, Honestly, he appreciated having so many girls like him, but couldn't they act as human as they looked?!, before Tsukune could say anything more to Mizore, she was gone.
"I hope she really doesn't tell the others"
Later, Newspaper Club room
Shinjai sighed as he leaned against the wall, The others doing more work then he was, He never was one for working, He was more lazy then anything, well, except powerful, He was more powerful then he was lazy, The others had yet to think of a story for the next newspaper, But, what Mizore said next made Shinjai almost lunge at Tsukune.
"Why not make a story about how one of the strongest Youkai's in the Academy makes dolls?" Tsukune paled.
"AONO!" Tsukune ducked out of the way with a scream, The chair he was sitting in was destroyed as Shinjai landed where it was, Kurumu couldn't help but laugh at him,
"Y-You, of all people, Make DOLLS?!, Oh this is to rich!" Shinjai growled under his breath, He walked over to Kurumu and backhanded her in the face, sending her crashing into the wall,
"Dammit, I knew I couldn't trust you people" With that, Shinjai vanished from sight, He reappeared outside the Academy building, heading back to his dorm,
"Yo!, Cuz!, wait up!" He sighed as he slowed so Akira could catch up to him,
"Hey, Why'd you run off like that?" He didn't speak, She narrowed her eyes at him, the silence treatment always pissed her off,
"Not now, Akira, Just go away" With that, he vanished again, leaving her surprised, not once has he spoke that way to her, even when he was angry with her before, He'd always calm down instantly, but now....
Boys Dorm
"Dammit, Dammit all!" Shinjai slammed his fist against the wall, Which made a small crack in it, He can't believe he trusted them!, and now, his life would be over, He smiled up at the doll in the case,
"Nah, I don't blame you, Midoriku, It's my fight for keeping you out in the open" He didn't care if Midoriku wasn't alive, He could still feel like he could hear her voice,
"But right now, I don't care about anything else" he walked over to his bed and plopped down on it, His hands behind his head,
"Well, See ya when I wake up, Midoriku" he could swear he saw her eye twitch, but he passed it off as him being tired and depressed,
"Jeez, No way can Midoriku come to life, I've been giving her small amounts of my energy ever since she was completed, Yet nothing, So why should I expect something to happen now?" he shut his eyes and drifted off to sleep,
"S-Shinj-jai" spoke a female voice other then Hitome, the dolls eyes twitched before opening, staring down at Shinjai's sleeping form, before her eyes closed again, returning to her non-living self.
