Proposing to Moka had taken every bit of courage Tsukune could muster, and that had been the easy part. They agreed to keep their engagement a secret until after graduation. For the rest of the week Tsukune did his best to make it through all his exams, finally the last day of classes came. Tsukune and all the other seniors had packed their things and were ready to move out; he could hardly believe this would be the last time he'd be going in for class. On his way to class Kurumu and Mizore both presented Tsukune with plates of sweets, which he accepted just so he wouldn't look rude. As he tasted them he could tell they had been mixed with some kind of love potion. Being a Super Ghoul meant Tsukune was immune to such things, but apparently that hadn't stopped the girls from trying.

"It's sad to think this is the last time I'll see you as your teacher." said Ms. Nekonome "But if it's going to be our last class together than we're not going to waste it studying, especially since you've already taken all your exams. Instead we're going to watch my favorite movie about a musical group of high school students like yourselves."

The movie wasn't what the class expected; it was something called "The Graduation Day That Almost Wasn't, But Then Was". At first it started off with a bunch of high school students having an end of the year field day before the week of final exams and one of the students was running around totally naked except for some swimming goggles, a hat full of feathers, and a very loose loincloth.

"What the hell is this?" asked Kurumu completely confused.

The movie's plot only seemed to make less and less sense as time went on.

"I'm all for a little romance." said Mizore "But he's been singing for nearly half an hour and he's giving me a headache."

The entire class was relieved by the time they saw the ending credits. It didn't take the girls long to remind Tsukune that after the commencement ceremony they'd be waiting for their little "meeting".

"I can hardly wait."

Tsukune's parents couldn't come to the ceremony because his dad had been injured in a car accident, but it was probably for the best. All these years and they still didn't know that Yokai Academy was a school for monsters, Tsukune wanted to keep it that way. That night at the ceremony as they walked past the crowd to their seats, Tsukune noticed that both Mizore's parents and Kurumu's mother were giving him looks.

"I have a feeling this is going to be a very long night."

The ceremony had been pretty straight forward. Unsurprisingly Yukari was the class valedictorian and gave a very warming speech, but something in it hinted that Moka had already told her the news.

"Well, at least I don't need to worry about breaking her heart."

When Moka went up to receive her diploma from the Headmaster all the guys in the room started rooting. Surprisingly when Tsukune went up to receive his, he actually got some applause of his own, then again most of them probably didn't even know what Super Ghoul was. Tsukune didn't see any members of Moka's family anywhere, but he wasn't really surprised since they hadn't shown up for any special events at Yokai Academy, he didn't need to worry about hurting their feelings anyway.

After the ceremony most of the new alumni went to celebrate, but Tsukune and the others went somewhere else on campus to have their meeting, this was because Tsukune didn't want them to make a scene in front of the entire school.

"Come on Tsukune… You can do this." he said to himself "Look, if the worst should happen all I need to do is grab Moka, and we can just teleport out of here."

When Tsukune and the others went to Jessina Esmeralda's manor they found themselves trapped in the house with a psychotic killer by a magic barrier. Tsukune never wanted his friends to be in that kind of situation again, so since then he had learned to use his powers to teleport. The first time he succeeded was the most painful, it felt like his body had been ripped to pieces and then reassembled somewhere else, but it had slowly gotten easier and slightly less painful every time.

"Okay… time to face the music."

When Tsukune opened the door he found that the girls and their parents were all arguing.

"Ugh… My God… I haven't even told them my decision yet, and they're already fighting… This is not going to end well."

Except for Moka who was sitting quietly, none of the others had even noticed that he came in.

"Guys…"

The fighting continued.

"Guys!"

They still didn't notice him.

"This will get their attention."

Tsukune transformed into a Super Ghoul, pulled out the Kaiser Katana, and fired a burst of energy into the air. The room immediately fell silent.

"Oh… Tsukune… I'm sorry, we didn't hear you come in… my, you've really bulked up."

"Uh… Thank you."

"I just wanted to let you know, we already have the perfect wedding dress picked out for Mizore, you're going to love it."

"And what makes you think he's picked your little icicle?" asked Kurumu's mom.

"My Mizore is the best choice by far, or have you not noticed how flawless and white her skin is?"

"Men don't care about skin; all they want is a girl with big breasts and knows how to use them, which is why he has undoubtedly chosen my Kurumu."

"Men also prefer girls who don't eat their husbands, or drop them as soon as someone cuter comes by, I'll bet you go through husbands like toilet paper."

"I'll spit on your grave, grandma!"

"Everybody stop!"

"Ruby?"

"I believe the reason we're all here is for Tsukune to tell us who he's decided he wants to spend the rest of his life with, not for us to make it for him, so I suggest we shut up and let him choose… Personally I'd settle for just being his love slave."

"Okay… Well it is Tsukune's decision after all."

"So tell us Tsukune, what did you decide?"

Almost everyone was looking at Tsukune expectedly, right now he felt like he'd rather be fighting another Greek Diamond Dragon than do what he was about to do.

"Look… Before I tell you there's something you all need to understand… I really, really, REALLY, don't want to hurt anyone's feelings, especially after everything we've been through… But I can only love one of you, so as much as it pains me to do this, I'm going to have to break some hearts here."

"You mean everyone's but mine." said Kurumu.

"No, mine!" said Mizore.

"Shut up and let him talk!" said Yukari.

"I know that you all really care about me, maybe more than I know, and I guess I should be glad that I have so many friends who care about me so much, and I'm really sorry I can't make you all happy, I wish I could, but I can't."

"Maybe we can reach a compromise?"

"What?"

"Just hear me out. Let's say that on Monday Moka belongs to Tsukune, then on Tuesday I belong to him, then it goes Kurumu, Yukari, and Mizore, we alternate weekends, what do you think?"

"Uh… Ruby, it doesn't really work that way."

"I know, but I had to try."

Today it was hard enough to have one family; Tsukune couldn't imagine what it would be like to have five. To him the whole idea of polygamy sounded ridiculous, women weren't just toys you could collect.

"I think we've wasted enough time already, tell us Tsukune… What did you decide?"

"I guess I can't put this off any longer."

Tsukune took a deep breath, he knew this would get ugly, he just didn't know how ugly, so he needed to be ready to move.

"I've thought long and hard about this, but I've finally made up my mind…"

"And?"

"Ugh… I want you all to know that my decision is final, nothing you can say or do will change it… Especially since…"

"Since what?"

"Since... Since… Since Moka's already said yes."
