3) College Houses

Ever since the incident with the young succubus, Kurumu, Tsukune has his hands filled with more woman troubles—

Tsukune wants to be closer than friends with Moka, but her habits of wanting to suck his blood is becoming a small bit out of hand, but so far he's going as far as letting her suck his blood (and he hardly becomes lightheaded often). He finds the Reverse Moka (the inner true self of Moka when unsealed) is a wall between her and him booby-trapped with bloodthirsty spikes that want to keep Tsukune for his blood. Kurumu is still on with her attempts in trying to seduce him, but is truly friendlier than from the start, but she makes great desserts for him to go with his meals.

Moka treasures her friendship with Tsukune but feeds off him when she needs blood because of her vampire heritage. Reverse Moka is a nightmare if you think you can control her. Even though she's just a friendly shadow hiding the real her, she's no match for her. Tsukune advised her and Kurumu to get along and they're trying.

Kurumu is being on truly friendly terms with Tsukune and hopes to get him to impregnate her so she'd preserve her race, also marry her since she's fallen for him. She is terrified to get on the bad side of Reverse Moka. She tries to be on good terms with the outer Moka, but still would like to keep Tsukune with her at all times.

For Tsukune, it's been over 10 days since he first came to that college campus for monsters, and so far he's not become successful with progress in his relationship with Moka, MONSTER is still out there and want him and the two girls, and he still hasn't solved all the mysteries of the relic, Yokissai. They agreed that he should keep his identity as the mysterious armored hero and the carrier of the mysterious relic, Yokissai, a secret.

But all the usual times they've had are going to change again…

Tsukune got out of his dorm room to wash his face and brush his teeth, ignoring the other guys (some of whom partially changed into their true forms) like he was one of them (even though he's a genuine human). After that he took a few looks at his homework to see if there were any corrections that need to be made, when he suddenly hears the sound of rowdy young men yelling.

Tsukune looks out his window to see a stampede of men, with Greek letters for 'Alpha Psi Alpha' on their shirts, charging into his dormitory building. He thinks for a sec, "What's going on? I'm waking up in time for class, so why are they barging in like that?"

Tsukune hears his door exploding as if someone has started a raid on the place, he turns to find a burly man in one of those shirts coming in! Tsukune remembers that specific man to be the one who was calling him 'weakling' on his first day on campus!

Then the poor boy was thrown through his window by the big jerk, from where just happens to be 7 stories up from the ground! Tsukune was lucky enough to catch onto a tree branch to stop himself from crashing to his death, otherwise he'd expose himself in his armor.

The guy who did that shouts out, "Don't come back!" Tsukune stands up as soon as he got to his feet, just to see his belongings flying into him! The same guy who threw him gleefully hollers, "There's your luggage, runt!"

While he is willing to fight MONSTER Kaijin or people who are going too far, he knows he's outnumbered and he doesn't know any reason to transform and fight back.

Tsukune cringes as he sees every one of his fellow freshmen suffer just as badly as he had just now. He had to get to class to inform the chaos to Nekonomi-sensei…

About an hour later, he looks over toward the female freshmen's dormitories to find its tenants being shoved out of their place by another girls' dorm too, even Moka and Kurumu.

Kurumu asks Moka, "And I was mean to you, girl?" Moka depressingly sighs, "This is not very nice."

They turn to see Tsukune, much to their surprise.

"Oh no!" went Kurumu's voice, "They didn't kick you out too!" Tsukune turns to find Moka and Kurumu with the same crowd of freshmen with him.

Tsukune asks, "What happened?" Kurumu frowns, "From one of my reliable sources, the Alpha Psi Alpha fraternity carelessly burnt down their house while they were boozing. They claim it to have been faulty wiring, but they've known those jocks forever." Moka gasps, "So they chose to steal the freshman dormitories?" Kurumu hisses, "Yeah, and now it's theirs until their damn house is rebuilt."

Luckily, Nekonomi-sensei shows that not everybody on the college grounds was heartless, she's guided them to the gymnasium where half of it is set up so they can bunk in there until they can find new housing or join fraternities and/or sororities. It was noted that in order to live in the human world, they will learn a few things the humans experience throughout their daily lives and the part-time jobs and/or activities are truly mandatory. One of the students had questioned about her disguise failing because of her tail showing up, only to be scratched in the face.

By the following day, very few other freshmen were left unselected, leaving a mere number plus Kurumu, Moka, & Tsukune.

Moka says, "I'm afraid we won't get placed into a suitable house any time soon. But according to Nekonomi-sensei, we may. And when we get in to a house, we will be assigned with activities that are most commonly used at the time. We may also use those activities as part-time jobs. If we're not in the fraternities or the sororities or in new housing, we can stay here as long as we like… or until basketball season."

Tsukune sighs, "Well, good luck with us." Kurumu nods, "Yeah, the heroic underdog, the sexy bride, and the psycho chick are stuck here, unable to make with the love with all the clattering of basketballs on the other side." A basketball comes flying in and thumps Tsukune on the head, but he shakes it off as Moka says, "Or do homework without being attacked by rogue balls." Tsukune sighs again, but this time pleasantly, sure he's not in his dorm, but at least he's with Moka for the time being.

Later, the two girls visit the sororities of Delta Chi Pi, who took over their dorm, to see if they could join… but they were rejected and forced to leave, stripped to their underwear and covered; Moka in pig's blood and Kurumu in blueberry syrup. Tsukune got a nice eyeful before turning away, blushing like a tomato.

After washing up in the bathroom, Kurumu says "We can't leave the school grounds unless we have permission and there's absolutely no way we can build a whole series of new apartments or large houses in less than a day. So I'm afraid we're going to have join the fraternities and sororities." Tsukune sighs disappointedly, "That's just great." Moka nods, "I agree, that means we're going to have to live away from each other." Kurumu sighs, "Or stay in the gymnasium until a new place is ready for us."

So, the three later tried to find a place around the supernatural horror-themed college ground for a place for the three of them, or at least one of them, to stay.

Meeting up with a Euro-Asian foreign languages teacher, Moka asks her "M'excuser, mais la piece est-il pour le loyer disponible?" She responds, "Absolument impossible, surtout pour les gens vous aime, le tare."

Kurumu checks up on a truck driver's residence, he looks like typical cargo-carrying truck driver, save for the shaded glowing eyes under his hat. She gulps and asks, "Rotuki-san?" "Yeah?" replies the driver. Too nervous, Kurumu leaves, saying to him "Just checking."

Tsukune tries his luck with a person around campus who'll offer a room. He buzzes the doorbell, only to receive the owner's eyes looking at him through his mail slot, "Who is it?" "Uh… uh——" "What do you want?" "Uh… Suwagi-san?" "What do want?" "Uh, um——" "Speak up or go away!" "I'm here about the room for rent." "Not for rent!" "I thought it was for rent." "Fuck off!"

Classes were canceled so that the remaining freshmen would choose their houses at the housing festival. All of the college's houses set up booths around the place to advertise themselves and draw in any new members amongst the leftover freshmen who are interested. Tsukune, Moka, and Kurumu look for the familiarity for their most likely future lifestyles, with the only human amongst them surprised to find the nonhumans adopting from humans and adapting to them.

"By working with the activities in these houses we could gain experience so we'd coexist with humans," said Tsukune looks at the booths around them in awe, "This is unbelievably awesome!" Kurumu nods, "Yeah, everyone must be advertising!" Moka asks, "Hey Tsukune, what houses do think we should join with?" Tsukune shrugs, "I don't know, I think we should look at the booths for the houses and ask."

"Moka-san…" says the scary president of Rho Rho Zeta, "Please visit of the paranormal photography section of Rho Rho Zeta. Please let us take lots of pictures! Especially artistic ones of you! Are nudes okay?" This house scared Tsukune, Kurumu, and Moka and forced them to run away.

Kurumu checks into Theta Omicron Theta, sorority house of cooking, to join, but has been kicked out by members jealous of her ample bosom and the teachers who were kitchenware tsukumogami in disguise as humans wanted her to use them when cooking, despite her protests and pleads to use ordinary kitchenware.

Epsilon Lambda Tau, fraternity house of electronics have considered Tsukune useless just by looking at him. Tsukune was even more shocked to see that some of them are ghosts in bodies of machinery

"Moka-san," says the strange president of Epsilon Chi, "please visit Epsilon Chi, the house of chemistry. Let's make lots of magic love potions together!" But the scents of their chemicals were sickening to them.

Beta Omicron Beta, fraternity house of bodybuilding featured muscle-bound men who are not in Tsukune in the least. Kurumu's chance to help Tsukune get stronger against any future MONSTER attacks was shot down, along with her dreams of imaging the enhancing definition of Tsukune's musculature. Moka assured him that raw power isn't everything.

Chi Delta Chi, unisex house of child day care was all-in-all a strong possibility for Kurumu because besides multiplying the succubi race, she also would like to learn to be a good mother too. Tsukune didn't want to think of monster children younger than him.

Alpha Pi Tau, fraternity house of acupuncture, was too freaky because one of its members is prickly like a porcupine.

Omicron Pi Rho, the sorority house of cosplayers wants Moka and Kurumu to join for popularity. Kurumu wanted to oblige, Tsukune tried to imagine Moka playing fictional characters, but Moka was not interested so they had to walk away from it despite Kurumu's objections.

Rho Delta Sigma, the fraternity house of nerds, wants to accept Tsukune in with them, but he found their lifestyle both weird and scary.

Mu Mu Iota, fraternity house of mummies, was just too weird to join.

Delta Alpha Kappa, unisex house of darkness, wanted Tsukune because he seems to carry something dark that makes him special. Spooked that the Yokissai may make him into something worse than MONSTER, he had to scream "NO!" and leave.

Lambda Gamma, unisex house of video games, had heard rumors of Tsukune and Moka being able to turn into a powerful white warrior and a super monster and desperately wanted them to join them. He asks why just so they'd know how he had transformed to defeat Saizou.

Phi Iota Chi, house of foreign interests & connections, since Moka is so smart as she is beautiful, it's expected of her to be familiar with foreign languages without mistake so they ask her to join them. Kurumu couldn't handle the annoying polyglots and foreigners showing off without fainting from too much information in a different language, while Tsukune and Moka weren't interested in the least.

After passing by so many booths to the houses of choice, due to the fact that many of the houses aren't very decent (not that they're supposed to be) or that many didn't want them. In the other male students' eyes, Tsukune had no idea how lucky he was to be in physical contact with two beautiful girls when they were scared.

Tsukune runs into a nerd with a booth with posters of Kamen Riders, Super Sentai, etc. under the fraternity house name (which is at the top), Phi Psi. Tsukune blinks, "Um, gomenosai?"

The nerd, whose nametag read 'Rairo Umino', said "No biggie, big man." Tsukune blinks in surprise, 'Is he kidding? He's a monster in disguise yet he's calling me a big man? I'm just only 7 centimeters higher than him. He must be thinking on those rumors of how I've beaten Saizou. All I did was lay a few beatings to him to protect Moka while her other side defeated him in one kick.'

He says to the Phi Psi, "Stories can be exaggerated." Rairo asks, "Like the rumor about how you sent Saizou to the hospital?"

"In case you're interested," says Umino, "Phi Psi is always open to new members who believe in goodness and justice and Tokusatsu fans! I'm a Kamen Rider Blade fan myself." Then he makes a playful front kick into the air, "Rider Kick!"

Tsukune thought for a bit, 'Rider Kick? Hmm… some of those guys remind me of me in my armor. But for me it's entirely inaccurate, it's a helmet not a mask and I haven't got a ride. So… maybe Kamen Rider Yokissai is a nice ring.'

Kurumu flatly says, "Another nerd house?" Moka says, "Some of those pictures do remind me of Tsukune in his armor." Kurumu says, "Not another word."

Later, they look for other houses, but sit down in depression. Tsukune groans, "Nothing but weird houses so far!" Kurumu agrees, "Yeah, and those freaking fraternities are hardly worth my time." Moka sighs, "I wonder if any of these houses have activities that are… normal for us?"

"Oh?" says a new voice, "Then, how about the swimming stars' home, Kappa Pi?"

The three look behind them to find a beautiful woman with long wavy aquamarine hair with golden pearl-like barrettes on either side of her head dressed in a two-piece purple bikini and lavender sarong. She introduces herself with a smile, "Salutations, my name is Tamao Ichinose, sophomore student and Kappa Pi swim star captain."

Behind Tamao are the other members of her house, all beautiful young women clad in bikinis. Tsukune blushed like crazy at the sight of them, while a lot of the other men drooled and fell back of nosebleeds. Tamao even says, "We will also allow men to come in." Many of the males yelled out in approval.

"At least the swimmers look normal," quietly says Tsukune. He then thinks and imagines about the idea of him and his friends visiting the Kappa Pi's; namely seeing Moka in a two-piece bikini, them playing in the water, and finally in close contact enough to kiss in the sunset.

As the Kappa Pi girls are giving away spare swimsuits to the males…

"Moka-san," says Tsukune, "Why not visit the Kappa Pi for a little bit?" Kurumu looks at Moka, who shakes her head. Kurumu sighs hopefully, "I'd be glad to, but——" Moka spoke up, "I can't swim." Tsukune smiles, "I could teach you, my parents wanted me to be in good health so they made me take swimming classes until grade school."

Kurumu smirks with interest, "Oh-ho! Looks like our innocent little boy's hormones are coming into the right place." Tsukune groans, 'You sure know how to spoil a good mood, Kurumu-chan.' Then Kurumu turns serious, "Look, darling; Moka cannot come to this." Tsukune says, "That's for her to decide."

Timidly, Moka stammers out, "Actually… Kurumu-chan's right… you see… I… water——" then she quickly asks, "Let's just look for another club, I'm sure that there must be one that is also normal-looking."

Just as Tsukune was about to ask her again, "Moka-san——" he suddenly felt his chest beginning to ache, namely his heart. Noticing that he's now clutching it, Moka begins "Tsukune!" Kurumu finishes the question, "What's wrong?" Tsukune gasps up, "My… heart…" then he falls to the ground, out like a light. Moka and Kurumu shriek, "TSUKUNE!"

The males look toward Moka and Kurumu kneeling to the unconscious Tsukune, most of them thinking that he must've died they cheered inwardly, 'Yes! Kurumu-chan and/or Moka-chan are mine!' While others grow genuinely concerned, "What's happened?"

Kurumu's eyes water out with tears, "It must been a heart attack! Somebody call the infirmary! I don't want to lose my beloved darling!" Moka follows suite in tears, "He's my most precious first friend! I don't want to lose him either!"

One of the members from Kappa Pi rushes up to Tsukune's side with a troubled look in her eyes. She's got short smooth black hair, gentle green eyes, dressed in a jet-black bikini with white frills, and is giving off a shy atmosphere about her. She says, "I'm a new member of Kappa Pi… but I'm quite experienced in the field of medicine, he's not in serious trouble but something inside must be wrong."

"Good to have you on board, Meiko-chan" says Tamao, "she can bring medicine to him until he regains consciousness. So don't worry, we will take care of him… in many ways."

Moka says to Kurumu, "I'm not going to be there for a while, please make sure nothing bad happens to him." Kurumu nods, "I'll try."

In Tsukune's head, he envisions him and Moka playing on a beautiful beach, with her in a sky-blue two-piece bikini. But as soon they were about to head out to swim, Moka stayed on the beach while he stood in the water.

Then all of the sudden, appearing next to Moka, as the skies darken into night and revealed a red moon in the sky, is Reverse Moka. The pink-haired Moka then vanishes into the red moon above, leaving Reverse Moka to say to Tsukune, "Where you tread, I can't follow." Tsukune feels his heart aching, "What? Look! I swear I'll protect you and the others from MONSTER. I promise you and I intend to keep it!"

Reverse Moka turns around and says, "You overeager, perverted, selfish, idiotic moron… that's not what I meant." Then she disappears into the shadows on the beach in a huff.

Tsukune is confused. He looks around, just to find himself up to his neck in dark water. Then he gets a feeling like he's one of the victims in one of the 'Jaws' movies, he finds a large black cape from some popular movie vampire floating past him.

Tsukune realizes, "When I fainted, almost like how I identified one of the vampire tribes without knowing them firsthand, Yokissai's power. It's trying to warn me about something."

SPLASH! A black monstrous shadow leaps out from the water, lounging at him!

GASP!

Tsukune finds himself in a swimsuit for males, in a lounge chair next to a pool, where he sees many of the Kappa Pi members having fun in the water with the males. Kurumu is by his side, clad in a frilly yellow two-piece bikini, she holds onto him and asks, "Thank Kami-sama you're back with us, Tsukune. Are you okay?" Tsukune whispers to her, "Yes, but I think the relic made me faint just to give me a clue to the dangers ahead."

"That's awfully mean of it," gasps Kurumu, 'And after the mere planning to seduce you while we were here.' She looks down at her chest, the amorous succubus' bikini made her ample breasts jiggle with her every movement and yet Tsukune has just become too preoccupied to be bothered.

The Kappa Pi member that helped him, Meiko Kuroshi, comes to him with a glass of some dark-green concoction. She hands it Tsukune, "Drink this, it should help you recover from any injuries as well as enhance your chi." Kurumu says to him, "Go ahead, she seems to be the most meaningful around here."

Tsukune drank the mysterious drink and almost gagged, it tasted like he was trying to gulp down polluted mud. Then his mind snaps into the present, "Wait a minute! How'd I get here? Where are my clothes? Who changed me into these swim trunks? What is chi? And where's Moka-san?"

One of the Kappa Pi's said, "We carried you here when you were unconscious, Kuroshi Meiko-chan's very shy but talented in medicine, so you should be ready to swim soon enough." Another said, "A lot of us changed you out of your clothes, dropped them on the floor of the locker room, and put those onto you, cutie!" Meiko quietly says, "Chi is wieldable life force, like how martial artists use their special techniques." And Kurumu finishes, "And Moka-chan is scared away because these bitches have heard some sort of rumor about her."

(Teacher Bat: "The life energy of certain people is given many names, chi is but one of them. When wielded properly and refined to strength, it can grant superhuman enhancements, certain powers, heal through touch, etc. Some martial artists can also use chi to launch powerful energy attacks, including in the form of fireball-like attacks.")

Moka, hiding away from the pool, was arguing with herself. Even though she couldn't touch water, somehow she wants to swim with Tsukune.

(Teacher Bat: "Because of the strong purifying power in water, vampires are weak against it. Although they can use it if it's given a heavy dose of herbal powders.")

Later, Tsukune was drawn into the pool and was asked to swim with Tamao, while a lot of the males were playing pool games with the others and the women compete in contests around the pool. Kurumu participated in these contests and won most of them, but is royally frustrated about Tsukune's stupidity.

Kurumu growls, 'Damn it! I've got to tell Tsukune that Moka cannot enter water because that element and vampires don't mix without a lot of herbs! Plus with that rosary on, most of her power sealed up will render her useless should MONSTER or some other trouble show up. So, why can't I now?'

Tsukune's senses become clear, he stops what he was doing and bows in apology to Tamao, "I'm sorry, Ichinose-sempai… but things aren't the same as they are now." Tamao coolly says, "Do you care about Moka Akashiya that much? Just forget about her and look at me."

Tsukune gets angry with her, "Now why would I do a thing like that to her? She's my friend and you've hurt her, so I'm leaving!" He turns but is held back by Tamao, who says to him "I'm sorry, but I cannot let anyone escape. Especially those who I've set my eyes on."

Tsukune's eyes spots a lot of the male students being bitten on by the Kappa Pi's before starting to wither and age at an accelerated rate. His eyes widen in shock, "They're sucking up their youth?"

Tamao says, "Please don't blame me, it's in our nature to lure men into the water and suck onto their life energy and youth. It's how we mermaids survive." Then her appearance is replaced by her true form, involving her ears replaced with fins, gills at the sides of her neck, her hands getting webbed, and her legs turning into a fish's tail.

Tsukune identified them without trouble, "Mermaids?"

(Teacher Bat: "Mermaids, unlucky sea creatures of legendary origin. There are some tribes in these races that differ from the sweet fairytale image known to man like these beauties. They gain their infamy for charming shipwrecked sailors with their beautiful figures before attacking them.")

"Is it not wonderful?" giggles Tamao childishly. Tsukune frowns, "I'm afraid for the matter it's not wonderful at all! You're killing your fellow students and disobeying the rules of the campus." Tamao sighs, "What do I care? I've had my eyes on you since this semester because… you smell so much like a human!" Tsukune cringed, 'Oh no!'

The mermaids of Kappa Pi swarm around Tsukune, wanting a piece of him. Tsukune

Kurumu screamed, "Tsukune! Get out of there! Change!" she extends her claws as the mermaids come at her.

Tsukune makes a grab for his abdomen, getting the Yokissai belt to appear. "Henshin!"

But before he could land a blow, he feels the mermaids are holding his limbs in place! Tamao calmly sighs, "We've heard that in order to transform, you have to be striking something or someone. So, how are you going to change with your limbs restricted from hitting, Tsukune Aono?"

Kurumu gasps, "What? You know how he transforms?" Meiko, sitting away from the pool, timidly says "I've kinda witnessed his fight with Saizou Komiya." Kurumu gasps, "You told your girls about this?" Meiko painfully admits, "They're my sempai and I had to obey their orders!"

Tamao grabs Tsukune by the shoulders and opens her mouth wide, revealing a set of jaws with rows of shark-like teeth!

"TSUKUNE!"

Tsukune turns to see Moka, standing at the edge of the pool, getting ready jump into the water although a little scared.

"What a fool you are," says Tamao, "We've heard that you're a vampire, Moka Akashiya. When in contact with water, you're powerless."

Tsukune realizes, "That vision with Reverse Moka, she meant neither of them couldn't touch water without getting hurt and weakened!"

Moka stops and gasps, as does Kurumu; Tsukune was given a clue by the relic to why Moka couldn't go into the water.

The mermaids then pull Moka into the water!

One of the mermaids says, "Hey! Our victims are regaining their youth!" Everyone turns to find Meiko, in a more elegant and more fairytale-like mermaid form, kissing the aged students but at the same time restoring their youth and strength.

Tamao gasps, "A member of the elusive life and youth giving mermaid tribe with feeling of unhappiness and/or timidity? The Nakerumi mermaid?" Meiko exclaims, "I actually join the club because I needed someplace to stay, but to go around hurting other students is truly unforgivable! My kind survive by avoiding contact with other savage mermaids like you!"

Tamao growls, "Get her, we'll force her into providing us with more regenerating food sources."

"It was a trap…" says Tsukune, "and you nearly caught us into it… she's right… IT'S UNFORGIVABLE!" Yokissai's gemstone illuminates violently, slightly frightening the other mermaids!

"HENSHIN!"

Then through a wave of force, all of his armor materialized onto him on command!

"No way…" gasps Tamao, "He can transform without the need to hit or being hit?"

Tsukune threw the mermaids off of him, sending them flying out of the pool area! Then he swims after Moka, with a startling new swimming speed!

Later, the water's surface explodes, sending off a powerful wave of dark supernatural energy, later revealing Reverse Moka and Tsukune jumping out of the water and onto the pool's edge!

Tamao is shocked at the awesome powers before her and the Kappa Pi's, "This feeling of incredible dark supernatural aura, you're no vampire! You're a super vampire!"

Reverse Moka flicks Tsukune at the helmet, "A little too close for comfort, thank you!" "Itai!" cringed Tsukune, "You should've told me that you can't go into the water because it hurts you before I was stupid enough to ask!" Kurumu shrieks, "WHO CARES ABOUT WHOSE FAULT THIS IS?!"

The mermaids splashed water at Moka, they knew even in as a super vampire she's vulnerable to getting splashed and weakened. Meiko jumps in front of Reverse Moka and takes the splashes, "Go, now!"

Tsukune's 'eyes' glow for a bit, "Finisher… power?" Meiko, Reverse Moka, and Kurumu look at him curiously, "Huh?" Tsukune's 'eyes' stop "Get out of here, it's going to be big." and he jumps over the pool, "Time to stop this!"

Kurumu blinks, "He's planning to destroy the pool? Can he do that?" Reverse Moka says, "Power is welling up to extraordinary levels within his foot, so probably." The three of them leave, taking the recovering students with them!

Diving toward the pool, Tsukune shouts out, "Mortal Kick!"

SPLASH! CRASH!

Hearing something crack beneath them, Tamao gulps, "Well, that can't be good."

KABOOM!

The entire pool exploded, sending rubble and mermaids flying! Tsukune later finds himself in the center of a crater his kick made, "Wow, talk about your big finish."

Tamao, still scary and pissed as ever, charges at Reverse Moka through the small stream left behind "How dare you get in my way? Tsukune's mine and you're dead!" Reverse Moka dodges, "For a lowly creature like you treating me like this, you gluttonous sardine, I'll have to punish you."

Reverse Moka leaps up into the air, with Tamao following her, but Reverse Moka says "Midair combat, even in my current condition, is my territory and never a mermaid's… now learn your place!" she then kicks Tamao over the horizon! "How could this happen to me?"

(Referee Bat: "This battle's winning side was determined in 85 seconds. CHUU!")

Tsukune turns away from Reverse Moka and leaps away in great bounds, Reverse Moka growls, "Come back here, you smug knight!" Tsukune stays still as Reverse Moka delivers a fierce slap to Tsukune's face, she hisses in his face "The other Moka is crying because you never thought about her, you don't deserve to be anywhere near me!"

"Moka-san…" sighs the armored Tsukune sadly, "I never intended to hurt you nor the other Moka. I was being stupid and selfish; it's true that I was only thinking of her in my own desires without knowing her more. I'm sorry for not understanding either of you. Well, sayonara." With that, he leaps away!

Kurumu attempts to snap the rosary back onto Reverse Moka's seal, when the super vampire scoffs, "Idiot, thinking about leaving again!" she then runs after the armored human.

Kurumu looks at Meiko and says, "You weren't like them; you were trying to protect us. It must really hurt to betray your own race." Meiko sighs, "I've never told them that I've come from one of many harmless tribes of mermaids because we were thought to have been legend, plus I really am shy. I've left my home just to make friends and live a normal life, amongst the humans… because that's what this place is all about."

Kurumu pats her on the back, "Thanks for helping us, just remember that Tsukune's mine." Meiko says, "Nakerumi mermaids were once also known for being the saddest mermaids because we are usually born uncomely and more fishlike, I'm one of the stereotypical ugly nerds of them." Kurumu's eyes widen in surprise, "Really? In your tribe of mermaids, drop-dead gorgeous is absolutely hideous?" Meiko says, "We've also learned of heart from the humans, which gave us our name since many of us couldn't spend our lives with them. I can understand Tsukune's heart, if I wanted a boyfriend I'd want someone who'd accept me for who I am."

Kurumu blinks in surprise, she's just made herself another friend.

Up in a tree, a shadowed figure says, "He destroyed an entire 210 cubic meter pool full of seawater and reduced it into rubble in less than a few seconds with just one kick? He's a sure apocalypse to everything MONSTER stands for." Then it says, "I think he's perfect."

Later, Reverse Moka finds herself lost the trail of the armored Tsukune.

She growls, "Go ahead and run… you will never make it out of here, fool. That's what you get for making the other me cry."

"You're a fool, child." says a voice from underneath her. She finds a giant snail Kaijin sticking to her! She gasps, "MONSTER Kaijin!" The Snail Kaijin snickers, "That's right! Whether a regular vampire or a super vampire, I'm going to take you to MONSTER HQ! Come!"

Reverse Moka struggles, but her prolonged exposure to water has left her weak! 'Damn it!' thought Moka, 'This bastard now has me on the ropes thanks to the water!'

Then Kurumu arrives, with her claws extended! "Dark Claw!" Her claws glow a bright pink and burns the sticky flesh and slime as she cuts the Kaijin with her scratch attack! His slimy grip on the unsealed super vampire was loosened, so she removes herself from the Snail Kaijin.

Reverse Moka hisses at the succubus, "Save your sympathies for someone else!" Kurumu slaps Reverse Moka across the face, "You're walking on thin ice if you think I'm going to let you leave." Reverse Moka growls, "Is this payback for me beating the stuffing out of you?" Kurumu says, "No, this is a rescue." The super vampire scowls, "I don't need rescue from you!"

The Snail Kaijin prepares to strike, Reverse Moka prepares to punch it, only to hit the shell! "Ow…" groans Reverse Moka, "The water shouldn't have affected me that much." Kurumu said, "Meiko-chan also said that the mermaids were tipped off by this Kaijin about you being a vampire and your weakness to water!" Reverse Moka gasps, "Nani?"

Kurumu thrusts her palm forward at the Snail Kaijin, "Hide in your shell all you want, we don't need Tsukune and his Yokissai relic to defeat you! Nightmare Illusion!"

Suddenly, the Snail Kaijin pops out from his shell, screaming in fear "WAH! BIG BIRD! BIG BIRD!"

Reverse Moka took this chance to finish off the monstrosity different from the normal monsters, "Learn your place!" then she a swiping kick at the wound Kurumu gave him and he breaks in half!

Reverse Moka falls to her knees, "Damn it, I need to rejuvenate." Kurumu hands her the rosary, "When I see Tsukune, I'll tell him to learn his monsters before making another mistake." Reverse Moka growls, "Good."

Putting the rosary back on, the outer Moka re-emerges and fall to the ground. Kurumu picks her up and carries her off back to the gym.

When they got there, she found Meiko, who left the Kappa Pi house for a new place to live, but no sign of Tsukune.

The next day… Kurumu was in class, but Tsukune and Moka weren't.

Tsukune stood outside the school, in the rain and in his armor, still feeling sorry for himself.

By the next day, Moka comes back…

"EH?" exclaims Moka, "Tsukune hasn't shown up for two whole days?" Kurumu sighs, "The guy's taking this whole superhero gig a little too painful to show his face again as far as I'm concerned." Meiko says, "Tsukune-san has developed a heavy heart." Moka sighs, "I should've told him directly, then we would've avoided that disaster."

Kurumu chuckles, "Yeah, but the good news is that those bad mermaids are getting punished for their crime." Moka nods, "Yeah, maybe forcing the mean jocks to rebuild their own house."

Nekonomi, who gained interested in the three, asks them "Are the three of you looking for a place?"

By the dumpsters, Tsukune sat silently with himself out of his armor…

He hears footsteps coming toward him, he looks up to find a mild-looking man with his dark-green hair styled in a mullet with a small curved pompadour while dressed in a black leather jacket. Around the man's neck is a red scarf with his name 'Kohan Tachibana / Kamen Rider Kappaga' written in English and Japanese and in white at the end.

Tsukune asks, "Yes, sir?" Kohan Tachibana says, "Come with me."

Taken into a dark room in some building, Tsukune prepared for the worst…

Tachibana says, "Tsukune Aono… welcome aboard."

The lights came on, revealing lots of other men with colored scarves with their names stitched at one of their ends cheering in greeting to the new member.

Tsukune blinks in confusion, "Aren't you mad?" Tachibana-sensei smiles, "No, you had to fight those disobedient mermaids in Kappa Pi to protect your friends and not only did you do so, you've saved my students that were there and one truly innocent mermaid who is also trying to help them at the same time. Also, you've proven yourself to be worthy to protect everyone when you've defeated those two Kaijin from MONSTER."

Tsukune's neck is suddenly introduced to something cloth-like, "What is it?" a lightly fuzz-faced dude with spiky hair (whose yellow scarf reads 'Daisuke Danokuba/Ban-Ban B') answers, "You were out of uniform; by earning this scarf, you have officially become a member of Phi Psi, house of heroic justice." Another boy with glasses says, "Some of the other dorms refer to our place as the house of Tokusatsu lovers and supportive jacks-of-all-trades."

Tsukune is slightly surprised, he is accepted into a house for heroics, even if it appears to be full of outcasts of society (whether it might be human or monster).

A comely young man with horn-rimmed glasses and smooth blue-green hair (whose scarf reads 'Jo Kido / Kamen Rider Kapjo') comes up to Tsukune and says, "Dear brethren, we are gathered here today to welcome in the newest member of the Phi Psi fraternity. Do you, Tsukune Aono, solemnly swear to stand by your fellow brethren with dignity and compassion, to respect all those who pass through these doors, and to uphold the values that we hold dear to the Phi Psis?" Tsukune bows, "I do."

Tsukune looks at his white scarf, with a golden embroidered symbol of Youkai stitched to one end and his name (in both Japanese and English) stitched at the other end, along with 'Kamen Rider Yokissai'. He chuckles slightly, "I've thought of that name when I've first met Umino-san." Rairo smiles, "Good hearts and minds think alike."

Tsukune asks, "I keep hearing that name of Yokissai from MONSTER, what is this relic really?"

Tachibana-sensei explains, "The Yokissai is an artifact created over 3 millennia ago by a reformed dark wizard from Europe who had high hopes in making the peace and balance between humans and monsters. Now that we see that Yokissai is no longer a legend, you possess a power that can help Youkai Academy to learn to live in peace with humans without fear from either side."

He continues, "If my guess is accurate, the Magnificence Of New Supremacy To Every Realm wanted to recruit you because, prior to bonding with Yokissai, you've had something special inside you that could change the world for the better and they wanted it for themselves. But now that Yokissai has shown itself to only two of them, if word got out that the one they've chosen was actually the carrier of the relic they'll be more focused on to either recruit you by force or to destroy you."

Tsukune understands what Tachibana-sensei meant, originally he would've wanted to live a normal life, but with these terrorists after him and people going out of control like Saizou and the mermaids from Kappa Pi, he has to use his new power to protect everyone.

Handing a card to Tsukune, Tachibana-sensei says, "Just recite these and then you may drink the ceremonial drink, Aono-san." Tsukune looks at the punchbowl full of a red fluid and then at the card. Walking up in front of the bowl, fidgets a bit…

Then Tsukune thinks of himself protecting everyone he's caring for while in his Yokissai armor, and he boldly says the recital; "Oh, Phi Psi truest, I am the newest member of your clan. I swear that in your hallways, that I will be proud of whom I am. And should the heavens call, the earth cry out, and the crowd roars for a hero of justice, I will be there to strike it down."

"And now," says Jo Kido, "our newest Phi Psi may drink." Tsukune took a glass of the drink in the punchbowl and drinks with surprise and satisfaction, "Mmm! Strawberry, orange, and watermelon." Daisuke smiles, "He's got good taste!"

Tsukune then thinks about Moka, "Man, it's been a few days and Moka-san must still be mad at me." Tachibana-sensei asks, "Why is that, Aono-san?" Tsukune says, "I still feel extremely guilty that I've never thought about her vulnerabilities." Tachibana-sensei says, "If you've truly learned the errors of the past, you can surely overcome the obstacles in the future." "It's going to be fun, sensei," slightly smiles Tsukune.

"TSUKUNE!"

Tsukune recognizes the voice, followed with the glomp from behind, "Kurumu-chan?" Kurumu smiles, "That's me! And look who's with me!"

Tsukune turns to find Nekonomi-sensei and…

"Moka-san!" exclaims a surprised yet pleased Tsukune "How is it that you and Kurumu-chan got next door?" Moka said, "Well, Nekonomi-sensei is the head of the Nu Chi, the house of news reporting, where we make newspapers, report news on campus, etc., and it just so happens to be next door to Phi Psi."

Daisuke smiles, "Dude, that stud's got really good taste!"
