Chapter Ten: The Deadline of Kurumu's Resolve
In the Newspaper Club Room, all the club members were all hard at work.
But for a moment Ulquiorra look out at the window and saw the sky that was filled with thick clouds, he had noitices that the weather rarley change here.
"...Ulquiorra? You seem to be far away." Moka said to him, which interrupted his moment of thought. "Only two days til the paper prints! C'mon, we've gotta keep working!" She said, as she was holding alot of paper in one hand and a pencil in the other hand.
"Sorry Moka, just lost track for a minute." He explain to her.
"That's alright. But remember we're on a tight deadline!" She stated in a bright manner.
"I know it's hard. After yesterday's incident, but we're on a tight deadline!" Moka told him with a bright smile.
And with that Ulquiorra continune on helping the others with the story about the Art teacher Medusa.
"RRRRG! This is killing me!" Kurumu said in a slight complaining tone as she started to streach her arms after stopping for a moment.
"So true. I feel like a Manga Artist in the shadow of a perpetual deadline." Yukari said with a smile, as she kept on tapping away on her laptop. "But without assistants!"
"QUIT COMPLAINING! NEWSPAPERS LIVE AND DIE BY DEADLINES!" Gin shouted which took the four newspaper club members by surprised. "Our front page story happened Thursday, the day before yesterday! If we don't have it in print by the beginning of next week we can hardly call it News!" He stated, as he read a Yokai Times Newspaper.
"So save your bitching for after we've finish this paper." He said as he began to take a sip from the cup next to him.
"Don't just sit there slipping your coffee!" Moka shouted in a slight annoyed tone.
"Just like a Manga Editor." Yukari said to Ulquiorra in a happy tone, as she pointed to Gin.
"Can We stop talking about Manga already." Ulquiorra said to Yukari in a slight tired tone, getting really tired of talk about Manga.
He then felt a tug on his jacket, he then saw it was Kurumu who then grab him. "Well, I don't care what I'm doing... As long as I'm with you Ulquiorra!" She said in a happy tone with a slight blush on her face.
"Kurumu!" Moka shouted in a annoyance tone, she then moved Kurumu away from Ulquiorra and began to angrily glare at Kurumu who glared back at her.
"Oooh! I think it's time for a cat fight! Ready...Set...Go!" Yukari said in complete excitment as she watch both Moka and Kurumu sending each other glares.
Then Kurumu stop her glares at Moka and ran back and wrapped herself around Ulquiorra. "I know you thought you'd sneak something past me when Ulquiorra was in the infirmary. But I'm not that dumb! I'll never let you have him!" Kurumu declared as she stuck her tongue at Moka, who was shock by that.
While the two girls continune on arguing, unknowingly to them they were being spyed by someone who was sitting on a large tree and holding a camera. "...Ah. There she is, my love!" The stranger said as a kliking sound was heard from the camera. "Sign. So sweet. I can't stand just watching her from afar...Soon Kurumu...You will be Mine!" The stranger declared with a creepy expression. "HEHE HEHE..."
Back at the Newspaper Club Room, the door began to open and turn out to be Ms. Nekonome who had a bag in her hand. "Everyone hard at work? I brought some snacks!" She said.
"Ms. Nekonome..." Gin simply said, as he kept on typing on his laptop.
"How are things progressing?" She asked. She then turn and saw the four newspaper club members still hard at work. "Ah, I guess I don't really have to ask."
"So many pages in this issue!" Moka told the teacher, after she stop writting for a moment.
"Well, have a snack. It'll lift your spirits!" Ms. Nekonome suggested, as Ulquiorra took the bag that Ms. Nekonome had gave them. He then put his hand in the bag and was slightly surprise that had pulled out a fish from the bag.
"Ms. Nekonome? This fish It's..." Ulquiorra tried to explain to his teacher but was in slight disbelief as so was Moka and Yukari.
"You don't like Sashimi?" She asked with a bright smile.
"But this fish is so raw it's...alive!" Yukari exclaimed as she and the others saw the fish still moving. While the others went to look to see if there was anything else in the bag they could eat, Ms. Nekonome began to walk up to Kurumu.
"Oh, Kurumu. This is addressed to you...I saw it by the door." She said as she had something in her hand which she gave to Kurumu.
"An envelope?" She thought as she the thing in Ms. Nekonome's hand was an envelope, to which she took the envelope from her teachers' hand. She then look at it and saw on it, it said To my beloved Kurumu, on the top and had Nagare on the bottom of it. "A love letter? Nagare? Who's that?" She wondered as she began to open the envelope.
In the envelope she found several pictures of herself getting undress and also their were some upskirts ones. She then look at the letter which said, Unless you want these photos spread all over school, come alone to the Monster Tree. "This is...No love letter. It's Blackmail! Blackmail! But what can I do?!" She wondered in complete disbelief.
"What's the matter Kurumu?" Ulquiorra asked as he look at Kurumu who hadn't move for a while now.
Being startled interupted her train of thought, Kurumu quickly put the envelope in the box of tools they use for the newspaper. "I j-just remembered something I have to do, see ya!" She said to them as she began to quickly head to the door.
"Kurumu?! But our deadline...!" Moka shouted to her.
"You'll be fine! I believe in you!" Kurumu assured them as she then lefted the room.
"...Kurumu?" Moka simply said with a sad expression.
Kurumu had reach to an area that lots of gravestones and trees but there was one tree that was very large and at the bottom of it, it appeared to have a face of a monster on it. H-Hello...?" Kurumu called out, as she kept on walking.
"Ah...I've been waiting for you." Said a voice above her, Kurumu then look up and saw someone on the large tree. "I'm so pleased my letter found you. I've been waiting a long time, Kurumu..." The person said in the tree, who turn out to be a male student who had brown nearly shoulder-length hair, and wore a white shirt, Romani brown pants and black shoes.
"Who are y-you?!" Kurumu shouted in a demanding tone. "And how did you get these pictures of me?!" She then put her hand in her skirt pocket but then she realised something. "Oh...I was in such a hurry I left them in the tool box!" She thought with a surprise expression as she kept checking her pockets, while she did that the male student began to climb down the tree.
The male student was finally down from the tree. "Cute shots, weren't they? They're my favorites." He stated, as he started to Weez and Henh. This caught Kurumu completely off guard.
"What's with this guy?" Kurumu thought. "So sweaty and...eww...sticky!" As she saw the person in front of her was completely covered in sweat.
"I'm Nagare Kano." He introduce himself. "Don't you remember me? ...From when we started school here?" Nagare then hold up a camera that was around his neck. "Kurumu you're so beautiful! May I take your picture?" He asked her.
"Really?! You think so?!" Kurumu exclaimed with a bright smile, after hearing herself be called beautiful. "The best looking girl in the Academy? Prettier than Moka Akashiya?!" She asked still with a bright expression and with a blush.
"Oh, well...Uh...you've got way bigger boobs then her!" He replied.
"Tee-Hee! If you take nice pictures of me...I'll go out with you!" She told him with a giggle.
"Really?!" He exclaimed with a happy expression. "I'm sure you remember."
"Not a thing...Course guys are always after me. And I can be a bit competitive when it comes to Moka..." She thought to herself.
"I've been waiting ever since...seems like forever...!" Nagare stated, then Kurumu began to have a surprised expression for some reason. "And now you're going to keep your promise Kurumu! If you don't those pictures are gonna get scattered all over the Academy!" He told her with a sinister expression, which surprised Kurumu even more.
Back at the Newspaper Club Room, all the club members except for Kurumu were all still hard at work.
"...Kurumu hasn't come back." Ulquiorra said, as he look at the clock.
"Deadline ditchers are the scum of the earth." Yukari said with a smile as she kept on typing on her laptop.
"For a 11-year old, she's harsh." Ulquiorra thought to himself.
Everyone continune on working, but then Moka stop working. "Hey...How committed do you really think Kurumu is to the club?" Moka asked the others, which then made Ulquiorra and Yukari stop working.
"I mean she only joined because she's after Ulquiorra right? She used to hate me." She stated as she continune on working. "I don't think she considers us friends. I mean that would explain her taking off right when we really needed her." She said with a sad expression, which made the others to be slightly stunned by this.
"Oh my...and I thought they were all bonding so well." Ms. Nekonome thought with a worried expression. "I'm afraid I've failed..."
"Don't worry about it Moka. I'm sure Kurumu just had something urgent she had to do!" Ulquiorra said trying to reassure Moka, who still had a uncertain expression.
Back at the Monster Tree, Kurumu who was now wearing gym clothes, felt completely embarrass. "W-Wait...what's up with this? How come I have to wear gym clothes on our date?" She asked in a uncomfortable tone. "And why clothes from another school?!"
"This is what's called a Pin-up Photography." He answered in joy, as he kept on weezing and panting from excitment. ""MMM. Those shorts look so great on you, Kurumu." He then kept on taking pictures of her in different angles.
"I didn't agree to this! Put that camera down!" She demanded, with a blush of frustration on her face.
"Tsk Tsk. You better watch what you say." Nagare warned Kurumu, which made her to be nervious after that.
"I have a special talent that lets me learn a girl's secrets." Nagare stated with a sinister expression. "I know a lot of your secrets Kurumu." He then walked up to her and whispered something to her, which caused her to blush completely red.
"You Fucking Pervert!" Kurumu exclaimed in anger with a shock expression.
Nagare then turn away from her. "Maybe I should tell those things to your dear Ulquiorra..." He said with a manipulative expression and with a slight laughter. Hearing that a part made Kurumu to be shock by this.
"Y-Y-You know about Ulquiorra too?! Don't...not Ulquiorra..." She pleaded with a worried and fearful expression.
"Then put this Costume!" He said, as he pulled out a costume from the bag he had with him.
"A maid's uniform?" Kurumu exclaimed as she saw the costume that he had.
Kurumu then went to the gym's storage room to change into the uniform that Nagare had given her. "This is bad...this guy's getting carried away. Maybe I can use my Succubus power to force him to obey me and..." She thought as she got change. "No, I can't. Ever since I got to know Ulquiorra...I just can't bear to perform evil deeds anymore!"
"What am I going to do...? While I'm trapped here, the rest of the gang is in an awful time crunch..." She thought with a slight worried expression, as she was now in the maid's uniform and was leaning against the tree, as Nagare began taking pictures of her while giving her compliments.
...
By the time Kurumu got back to the academy it was already night.
"Free at last..." She thought as she began walking through the hallway. "Twelve costume changes later..." As she remembered how many costumes that Nagare made her wear.
Kurumu finally reached the Newspaper Club Room. "I wonder if they're still working...?" She thought, as she slowly open the door. Once she open the door she saw all the club members looking at her, which frightened as she saw that they had slight angeries expressions as they got up. "They're pissed off! They hate me! They're gonna...gonna...yell at me!" She thougt with a fearful expression, as she flinch in fear.
"Kurumu, you're back." Ulquiorra said in a calm tone, which surprised Kurumu.
"But we just decided to call it a day." Yukari stated.
"We decided to finish up might as well head back to the dorm." Moka told her, as she and the other left the room leaving Kurumu on her own.
"...I was too late." She thought to herself, as she headed over to the table where the others had been working. "I used to be so conceited...Using my Succubus powers to turn guys into slaves." She thought as she sit down and look at the newspaper article. "But even though they pampered me like a princees, I never made a single real friend. Now that I know better...I'm paying the price!"She thought as tears started to appear in her eyes. "I've got to apologize..." She said to herself.
"HEHEHE...What's wrong Kurumu?" Said a voice behind Kurumu, who then turn and was in shock to see who it was.
"Today was real fun, wasn't it? Lets play again tomorrow, hmmm?" Nagare said as he slightly weez and pant.
"N-Nagare?! What are you doing here?!" Kurumu exclaimed in surprise as she got out of her seat. "I only promised you one date! I don't own you anymore!"
"Tsk. Don't be so cold. Want me to show Ulquiorra the pictures we took today?" He said in a creepy tone. "I bet it would make him have a smile on his face!"
"What?! No! You can't!" Kurumu exclaimed in shock. You promised no one would see those!"
"They won't...If you play with me again tomorrow!" He said with a sinister grin. "I'm never letting you go now."
This caused Kurumu to be in fear. "No...Not Tomorrow, quit following me around! Please!" Kurumu exclaimed as she quickly ran out of the room without looking back at Nagare.
Once Kurumu was out of the room. Nagare then notices the Newspaper club's article on the table. "What's this? A newspaper...All laid out...Perfect!" Nagare said with a creepy smile as he picked the newspaper up.
Sunday Morning in the Newspaper Club's room.
"EEEEEE!" Moka screech. "The layout we made yesterday...It's gone! It's all gone!" She shouted in shock as she saw the work they did was gone.
"What?!" Yukari exclaimed as she and Ulquiorra looked at the table as well.
"How...?! Did somebody steal it?!" Gin wondered, as he look at the table as well.
"What'll we do? We don't have time to start over!" Moka asked with a worried expression.
"All my data's been erased! The backup file is gone too...My diary's been opened..." Yukari exclaimed as she look at her laptop, which surprised both Moka and Ulquiorra. "...And the keyboard is all sticky! Some sort of slime..." She said, as she saw her hand covered in slime.
"...Slime?!" Kurumu gasped after hearing that. This even made Ulquiorra to look at her after her gasp.
"It was him! He was in this classroom last night!" She thought with a worried stun expression. "He must have taken the draft as a hostage...to force me to do his bidding!"
"Damn. We don't have any choice. There's no time to hunt for whoever took it."Gin stated in a serious tone as he bang on his desk which made all the members look at him."We'll have to start over! We'llcut the page count down. Just get it done!"
"Um...Guys...?" Kurumu began to speak,which caught the club member's attention. "I know this is a really bad time...but I can't stay to help out today..." She told them, without looking at them as she couldn't bring herself to.
"Kurumu?! What is wrong with you?!" Moka exclaimed, which made Kurumu to be in complete silents. "How can you bail on us at a time like this? Don't you care about anyone but yourself?!" She asked with a slight sad expression but had a serious tone.
As Kurumu turned away from Moka she began to have a sadder expression. "I...I can't...If I tell them the truth, there's no telling what he might do." She thought with a worried expression. "...I have to go." She said, as she started to head to the door.
"Kurumu...I'm disappointed in you. I thought your change of heart was sincere. Well, we don't need you in this club then!" Moka shouted in anger.
This made Kurumu stop for a moment, she then continuned on walking but down she was completely hurt from Moka's comment.
Kurumu continuned on walking in complete silents until she finally reach the Monster Tree.
"Heh...I knew you'd come, Kurumu." Nagare said, who was on the tree. Which made Kurumu stop walking. "Looking for this?" He asked with a grin, as he hold the newspaper article and a disc that had the backup files from Yukari's laptop.
Kurumu didn't replied she just look at him with a completely pissed off expression.
"Tsk. What a boring newspaper. The writing is so amateurish. I could do better illustrations than this." He said in a mocking tone, which caused Kurumu to tighten her fist in anger. "The only thing it's good for is lighting a fire." He then pulled out a lighter.
"So what's it worth to you Kurumu?" He asked with a evil grin, as he began to lit the lighter near the newspaper article. "If you want to save it, you better do whatever I tell you to..."
"Go ahead. Burn it." Kurumu simply said.
"What?!" Nagare exclaimed in a shock tone. He then had a stunned look on his face as he saw the expression of Kurumu's face.
"Sure destroy something that matters to the people I love" Kurumu said in a determined tone and with a determined expression. "Go ahead and piss me off!"
Nagare contuned looking at her with a stunned look until he finally speaked. "Hmm...planning to defy me, eh...? Do you really think you can stand up to me?!" Then two strange things started to appeared on his neck.
"I don't have to take this! I'm a monster too, you know! Time to play my trump card..." He said, as the two strange things on his neck started to release some strange smoke.
Back at the Newspaper Club Room
"Hey, I'm gonna go look for Kurumu." Ulquiorra said, as he got up from his chair which surprised both Moka and Yukari.
"Y-You can't! If you leave too, we'll never finish the paper in time!" Moka exclaimed as she quickly got up from her chair and got in front of him which slightly surprise him.
"Ulquiorra please! We've got to focus on this." She stated to him. "Do it for the club, If you won't do it for me..."
After that Ulquiorra walk around her, which surprised Moka and made her to be in tears. "What's going on? I thought we were getting closer since last week...But now..." Moka thought as she covered her face with her hands.
"...They're moving apart." Ms. Nekonome thought with a worried expression.
"So. You're not committed to this club, Eh?" Gin asked him, which made Ulquiorra stop walking.
"Just the opposite, Gin." He replied in his usual tone. "I am committed to this club, which is why I believe.I don't think it's complete if one of us is missing." He said with a serious expression.
Hearing this surprised both Moka and Gin. "Plus, I've got a feeling that Kurumu is in some kind of trouble..." He began explaining to them.
"CURSES! THIS IS HIDEOUS!" Yukari shouted, which caused Moka and Ulquiorra to look at Yukari who was holding the box of tools they use for the newspaper in one hand and holding a envelope in the other. "I was looking for clues to the missing draft and look what I found in the tool box!" She said.
"What the...?!" Moka exclaimed as she saw the envelope.
Back at the Monster Tree
Kurumu was pushed to the gym's storage room by nagare's arm and became surprised by this.
"Heh...What the hell happened to that fiery spirt?" He asked in a mocking tone. "So docile...just like a doll..."
Kurumu began to move away from him, when suddenly her body made her drop to the ground which took her by surprise. "What's H-Happening...?!" She thought as she saw her hand trembling. "I've...I've lost all my strength..."
She then saw the strange thing on Nagare neck realeasing a purple smoke, which surprised her. "Poison gas! He's emitting some kind of poison from his body!" She thought in disbelief.
"N...No...If this keeps up...I won't be able to move...!" She thought, as she used her reamaining strength to use her hand to cover her mouth to prevent her from breathing in the gas and using her other hand to open the gym's storage door.
"HEHEHE...Now that you know the extent of my powers. Your not going to escape me!" Nagare said, as he watch Kurumu quickly went into the storage room.
Kurumu quickly shut the gym's storage door. She then lean against the door and began trying to catch her breath. "NGH...I can't...can't let him win! Have to buy time...somehow...Find a chance to counter attack..." She thought while she was in slight pain, she then started to extended her long sharp nails.
"So cute, hiding in the storage shed. She wants to be caught!" Nagare said, which surprised Kurumu as the voice was coming from underneath the door.
Suddenly a slug like being with a long eye, started to appeare from underneath the door, which turn out to be Nagare. This completely terrified Kurumu as she quickly moved away from the door. "WH-What's happening to you?" She asked in disbelief.
"HEHEHE. Don't you know...? A slug can slip through the narrowest cracks!" He stated as he made his way underneath the door. Hearing that made Kurumu to be shock to hear that.
"That's right. I'm a slug monster. That's how I can sneak into girls rooms to learn their secrets." He stated with a grin.
"That's so awful! How many...girls have you spied on?!" Kurumu asked with a fearful expression as Nagare had nearly entered the storage room.
"I don't keep count...But out of all of them..You're the best catch!" He replied, as he finally entered the storage room and Kurumu saw his true monster form which was a huge slug and had black dots on his body. "We're going to take lots of sexy pictures!" He exclaimed with a creepy grin. He then began to place his slug like fingers on Kurumu's face.
"I...can't...move...! No...! I've got to defeat him!" Kurumu thought with a fearful expression as Nagare continued placing his fingers on her face. She couldn't do anything as her body was completely paralyzed. "I HAVE TO GET THAT DRAFT BACK!" She shouted in her mind as she screamed as well.
Suddenly there was a loud knocks at the storage door, which made Nagare to stop what he was doing. "Kurumu?! Kurumu are you in there?!" Said a voice behind the door which still kept on banging. This made Nagareand Kurumu both look at the storage door.
"We found that blackmail letter in the tool box! We understand now, Kurumu!" Said the voice behind the door as the person tried to open the handle of the door. Kurumu became shock as she knew who's voice it was and it was Moka.
"I'm so sorry I jumped to the wrong conclusion." Moka said in a sad tone as she kept trying to open the handle of the door. "I assumed you still hated me. I thought you were just jealous of Ulquiorra."
"Moka..." Kurumu thought, as she was completely speechless to be able to say anything after hearing that.
"But we...fell apart right away without you Kurumu." Moka continued speaking still with a sad expression and with tears starting to appeared in her eyes. "We've come to help you! We need you Kurumu!" She then let go of the handle.
"Kurumu...?" Moka said with a slight happy expression as the storage door began to slowly open.
But when the door completely open, she had a stunned expression as the person she saw wasn't Kurumu it was Nagare. Moka then gasped in horror.
"OH...Wow it's my lucky day!" Nagare exclaimed in a happy but sinister tone and with a grin. "The next one on my list...is you Moka! Your so hot!"
He then release his poison gas at Moka, who was completely caught off guard by this, as the poison gas was getting close to her.
Fortunately for her Ulquiorra quickly appeared and grab Moka by the waist and moved her away from the poison gas just in time.
"Ulqui..." Moka was about to say the Espada name, when Ulquiorra placed his hand over her mouth. This surprised Moka.
"Just remain calm Moka." He said in his usual tone. "Make sure that you don't breath in that smoke. I think it might be poison." He told her as he moved his hand away from her mouth. To which Moka quickly placed her hand on her mouth to make sure she didn't breath in the poison gas.
" Well if it isn't Ulquiorra Cifer!" Nagare said in a annoyed tone. "If there was one thing I hated about Kurumu was, how she would keep talking about YOU! SO ANNOYING!"
"I assure you it's not as annoying as a piece of trash that blackmails someone just to get what they want." He said in a cold tone.
"Don't underestimate me!" Nagare said with irrated expression. He then began to shoot his poison gas at Ulquiorra. Who then used Sonido to avoid the poison attack.
"What?! He dodge my attack!" Nagare thought in disbelief. Then suddenly Ulquiorra appeared above him and delivered a powerful kick to Nagare's stomach. This however caused Nagare to smirk at it, as the kick only move him a few inches.
Nagare then went for a hand thrust attack on the Espada, who then Sonido away from the attack and landed back on the ground.
Then Nagare raised his left hand high in the air, he then widen his fingers and began to his poison gas around Ulquiorra which caused the Espada to be trap in a dome of poison gas.
"Ulquiorra!" Moka shouted worriedly. She then began to hear Nagare laughing, to which she quickly look back at him.
"HAHAHAH! Now with him out of the way, I'm gonna enjoy my time with you Moka, So tasty!" Nagare said with a sickening grin as, he started to approach the pink haired Vampire with his slimy fingers. This caused Moka to scream in terror.
"MOKA!" Kurumu cried out worriedly.
As Nagare got closer to Moka, when suddenly they started to feel the ground shaking this also caused the dome of poison gas around Ulquiorra to vanish. Once cleared of the poison gas even Ulquiorra could feel the ground shaking.
"What the!? Is this...an earthquake?" Nagare wondered, he then turn and saw Kurumu slowly getting back up.
"...S...Stop.." She slowly muttered angrily. "Don't you dare...lay a hand on my friends!" she said as a pair of purple wings started to appear on her back.
Seeing this puzzled Nagare for a second, he then became surprise as he saw Kurumu's eyes completely in rage. Then suddenly something nearly hit the Slug monster and caused him to be surprise by this as he saw the tree roots starting to move.
"WH-What...The tree roots...Why are th-they...?" He wondered, as he was surrounded by the moving tree roots.
"I won't let you get away with this! If you so much as touch Ulquiorra or Moka, you'll regret it forever!" Kurumu declared, as she spread her wings and the tree roots around her starting to move.
Nagare then saw the branches in the Monster Tree were starting to move as well. "It...can't be...Is this...a dream?!" He wondered in fear.
While that was happening, suddenly Moka's Rosario started to move which took the pink haired Vampire by surprise. "Her rage...must've drawn out her latent powers...This is the true power of a Succubus!" Inner Moka stated to her other self.
Then Kurumu flew nearby the Monster Tree, to which it's left eye started to glow and it's mouth started to move and let out a roar which shock Nagare.
"WHAT THE! THE TREE IS ALIVE!" Nagare exclaimed in disbelief.
Then one of the branches of the Monster Tree grab Nagare by the throat which shock the slug monster.
"...Move. Come on, body...Move!" Kurumu thought to herself, as she felt her body completely trembling. "MOVE!" She shouted, which then made her body to move and headed to Nagare. Who then saw the Succubus headed towards him and was in complete fear.
"GET AWAY FROM ME, YOU BITCH!" He shouted fearfully, and started to extend all of his fingers to attack Kurumu in a desperate attempt to stop her.
Unfortunately for Nagare his attack didn't work as Kurumu was able to dodge it, she then delivered a upper slash attack across on Nagare's body from her long fingernails. Which then caused a large amount of blood to spew out of Nagare's body, he then let out a loud scream of pain.
Once that happen Nagare then drop to the ground and so did Kurumu. Then Moka and Ulquiorra saw the Monster Tree's roots starting to calm down.
"The roots are vanishing?" Ulquiorra said as he saw the roots disappearing.
"...Merely...An Illusion born of Kurumu's Succubus magic. Powerful Succubi can even kill an opponent with their Illusions." Inner Moka stated to her other self within the Rosario. "I never dreamed she had so much power hidden within her..."
"I...G-Got it back...I got back..what matters...to me." Kurumu said in a tired but happy tone, as she had the newspaper article in her hand and then brought in closer to herself. This made Moka to watch on in happynest.
Early Monday morning, Ms. Nekonome was quickly walking down the hallways with a worried expression. "I sure hope everyone was able to finish the paper, our deadline is upon us." She thought worridly.
She was nearly reaching the Newspaper Club Room when she then saw Ulquiorra coming out of the club room.
"Ah, Ulquiorra." Ms. Nekonome called out to the Espada in a cheerful tone, which caught Ulquiorra's attention. "How's the paper looking? " She asked the Espada, " We've reach our deadline."
"I think it's best, you see for yourself Ms. Nekonome." Ulquiorra replied in his usual tone and began to walk away.
Ms. Nekonome then entered the club room and saw the other members all fast asleep, the girls were resting their heads on the table they also had blankets around their bodys while Gin was resting on his chair at his desk. She then saw the newspaper article on the table by the girls which said, Yokai Times, July Edition by the Newspaper Club. She then pick up the newspaper article and had a quick look through at it.
"It's...It's finished...?" She thought in disbelief. "I guess the bond between them isn't so weak after all!" She thought with a smile.
"Great work everyone! Now leave the rest to me and get some rest!" She said quietly, she then exit the club room very quietly.
"Moka...?" Kurumu mutturd in her sleep.
Flashback At the Monster Tree
"Can I come back to the club...?" Kurumu pleaded to the rest of the club members with a slight bow.
"Kurumu, let's not waste time with stupid questions." Moka said in a postive tone. "If we don't hurry, we won't make our deadline! And we deafinitely need your help to finish the article Kurumu!" She said with a bright smile.
End of Flashback
"Oh, Moka...Thank you." Kurumu mutturd in her sleep with a slight tear in her eye. After that she had a small smile on her face as she continune on sleeping.
Omake: Who do you like more?
"So...Yukari who do like best, Ulquiorra or Moka?" Kurumu asked the little Witch.
This surprise Yuukari who was clinging onto Ulquiorra and Moka's arms with her own arms.
She then let go of both of them. "That's not a easy question, how can I choose? I love both of them!" Yukari answered.
"But one thing is for certain I definitely love your boobs Moka!" Yukari said, she then cling onto Moka and started to squeeze Moka's breast which resulted the pink haired Vampire to be embarrass by this and to let out a slight `Eek` sound.
"She may be a genius, but she's even more immature than a regular eleven year old." Both Kurumu and Ulquiorra thought to themselves as they kept watching Yukari enjoying squeezing Moka's boobs.

alucard77: I attend to change the story to make sure it's not the same as the series as you'll see in later chapters.
AfterlifeXD: I'm glad you fine this to be a cool fic :) I think you'll find that Ulquiorra does kick some ass as seen in chapter 7 when he completely destroyed Yukari's class president and his underlings.
NisPi: I can assure I'm not trying to make Ulquiorra weak. The reason why he use his zanpakuto against some like Hitomi Ishigami was because he couldn't use his powers like cero or bala as it would destroy the academy or innocent students, I know Ulquiorra's Hierro is strong against powerful attacks like Ichigo hollowfied bankai getsuga tensho, however it can be pierce as scene when Moka bites him. Also Hitomi Ishigami's bite on Ulquiorra will play a role in the next chapters.
