Chapter 8

Youkai Academy Public Safety Commission Headquarters. Afternoon.

Haru couldn't believe his eyes.

Only a second had passed since Haru and the others came to rescue Moka and Tsukune from The Public Safety Commission, found out about Ishigami, and defeated Kuyou, the leader of the PSC. But suddenly, Kuyou rose from the ground, engulfed in flame.

Kurumu shielded her eyes. "Kya! What IS that!?"

Haru looked on. "My God," he said, "I've seen this beast before…"

As the flame settled, it began to take shape. Legs, a body, and tails formed from the fiery blaze. The creature emerging from the flame looked like a wolf, fire covering all of its body.

Tsukune tried to keep himself conscious. "Kuyou…" he said, "what is he!?"

"A Youko." Gin said. "A spirit shaped as a fox."

Yukari looked at him. "Is that bad?" she screamed.

"Yes." Haru gripped his sword. "This thing's nothing like what we've faced before. It's more powerful than all of our enemies combined! They've been revered as gods many times before, and are truly a force to be reckoned with!"

The beast raised its head at Tsukune. "You…" it said in an echoed voice, "really are a human, aren't you?" It stood up on its hind legs, flames swirling behind it. "We must kill any human who knows of this monsters-only academy! That is the law, as you could reveal our existence to the outside world." It turned its attention to the rest. "Newspaper Club… Why is it that as monsters you protect such a dangerous human? How far must you defy me before you'll be satisfied…" It reared its head, as if it was laughing. "The whole lot of you, shall be buried right here by me, the leader of this academy's justice!"

Tsukune stood still, lost in thought. That's why… because that I'm a human, all these horrible things are happening now. Because I entered this monster academy even though I'm different… and because Kuyou found out! Tsukune closed his eyes, a burning feeling in his chest, this is my entire fault. Everyone could be killed, and it's all because of me…

Moka noticed his look. "Tsukune, don't make that face…" she smiled. "It'll be OK, after all, because we're all here with you."

Moka-san…

Kurumu stood in front of him, with Yukari by her side. "That's right!" Kurumu said. "You're hurt, Tsukune, so just stay right there."

Yukari raised her wand. "I'll help heal your wounds later." she said.

Kurumu-chan… Yukari-chan…

Gin rubbed his head. "More importantly, what is you're true form anyway? If you really are a human or something…"

Tsukune rubbed his shoulder. "Well, actually, I…"

Gin picked up a stone, and threw it at Tsukune. "Idiot," he said, "I was joking, you don't gotta tell me. You're not supposed to tell other people your true form in this academy, not that anyone else is trying to hide anything…"

Tsukune rubbed his head where the stone hit him. Gin-sempai…

Gin grinned. "Besides, there isn't any reason that anyone wants to know your true form anyhow…."

Haru grunted. "Seems I was wrong." he said, "All of you do understand what it means to care about others." He turned to Tsukune. "You stay there and enjoy the show. This will be over before you know it."

Kurumu smiled. "What, you're fighting too?"

Haru raised his sword, taking his normal attack position. "Are you kidding? For the chance to defeat a beast that was called a God, who in their right mind would pass it up?"

Kurumu drew out her claws. "Good to know." Kurumu said.

Haru-san… Tsukune's eyes started to water.

"You bastards!" Kuyou shouted. "Not only do you know that boy is a human, but you pretend not to know anything? You're nothing but a group of scum that is far past any hope of redemption." His tails rose in the air, touching at the tips. "I will kill you!"

Gin's eyes widened. Oh. no, he thought, with all that energy concentrating at the tips of his tails, he's preparing something…

Kuyou's eyes shined. "Hazy rolling flame!" he shouted, "Realize my true power!" He then sent a vortex of great big flame at the group.

Gin raised his arms to protect the others. Crap, he thought, if I get out of the way, then the idiots will end up…

He couldn't finish his sentence, as the flame hit him, and unleashed a giant explosion.

Everyone shielded themselves from the giant, blinding attack.

As the dust settled, and light began to dwindle, everyone noticed Gin standing exactly where he was, holding out his hand as if he blocked the attack.

Kurumu screamed his name as Gin fell to the ground, unconscious.

The girls surrounded him. "W-Why didn't he dodge it!?" Kurumu shouted. "He's faster than any of us… Was he… trying to protect us?"

Tsukune stared at Gin. "This is my fault… Gin-sempai ended up like this because of me!"

The beast howled in laughter. "So much for the werewolf, the so-called monster of speed! It seems you weren't a match for me after all!"

The others looked at Kuyou, as he started to change yet again.

"One down," he said. "Right here and now, I'll make you realize that even a group you have no hope against me!"

As he began to turn more human, Kurumu got scared. "Why is he retuning to his human form?" she asked. "Does he think he's powerful enough to beat us in normal form?"

Yukari gasped. "No!" she said, shrinking in fear, "That's not his human form at all! He's concentrating his supernatural energy into an ideal form. That's… that's his battle-form! He's even stronger than before!"

Kuyou finished his transformation, showing the top half of his human for mostly covered in tattoos, the rest of him covered in flame.

Kuyou smiled, "So," he said, "who wants to die next?"

Ishigami stood from afar, truly enjoying the show as each of the Newspaper Club, save for Haru and Tsukune, try to attack Kuyou, who treated each attack like it was nothing and attacked them all with his powerful flame, until all the girls were on the ground bruised and beaten.

Tsukune stood there, frightened at what he just saw. Haru's expression stayed determined. Damn, he thought, in an instant, they were all…

Kuyou laughed. "Your comrades," he said, "really are marvelous, aren't they? Isn't it great that they came to save you, Tsukune-kun?"

Tsukune was frozen in fear, taking in the beast's words.

Kuyou raised his hand at Moka, who was starting to get back up.

"Well now," Kuyou said, "you're going to sit there and watch what each of your comrades dying moments is like."

Tsukune ran past Haru. "Wait!" he said, "We've lost, and we'll apologize to you for everything! I'll confess everything about myself to the school and accept any official punishment you give me!"

Kuyou turned to Tsukune, heeding his every word.

Tsukune felt weak to the knees. "So please," he continued, "please let everyone else live! They're my friends, whether or not they're monsters, they're all very special friends to me. So, please…" he got on his knees, and bowed. "if you could spare everyone else, I'll take whatever punishment you want…"

Moka and Kurumu looked at Tsukune, Kuyou smiled.

"Humpf." he said. "Admirable for a human." He place a hand on his chest. "You've touched my heart a little. Then let it be, I will spare their lives in consideration for you're courage."

Tsukune looked up. "So then…" he said.

Kuyou laughed. "Did you really think I would say that? What do you mean friend, human friendship is so superficial it makes me sick."

Tsukune's eyes widened.

Kuyou snapped his fingers, and sent a blast of fire at Tsukune, crumbling to the ground. "Foolish human!" he said, "just be quiet and watch your comrades suffer!" He then fired a blast of energy at Moka, and she stayed where she was out of fear.

She closed her eyes, waiting for the pain, but it didn't come, instead she heard a loud noise as if a blade was sheathed, and then felt a big explosion in front of her. She opened her eyes to see Haru in front of her, wings outstretched, sword drawn and already surrounded by energy.

"Tsukune," Haru said, "how many times must I tell you that reasoning with scum won't make things better? You have to force them to quit in order to win!"

Moka slowly stood up, her knees beginning to shake.

Haru turned his head. "Moka-san," he said, "As much as I hate to say it, go to him. You know what to do."

Moka nodded, and ran towards Tsukune.

"Fool!" Kuyou said, sending another blast of flame at her.

Haru ran in front, and sliced the fire in half again, making it explode in front of him.

"Hey, idiot," he said to Kuyou. "How about you leave them alone and take on a real challenge?"

Kuyou smiled. "Uematsu Haru…" he said. "Keito told me about you. How you used your blade to injure her, and sent her a death threat intended for us. It almost made me smile…"

Haru grunted. "Too bad," he said, "I wasn't trying to be funny."

Kuyou raised a hand towards Haru. "I have a feeling that you think your comrades are just slowing you down. Why not join me and help make this academy perfect?"

Haru raised his blade at him. "No thanks." he said. "I make it a point not to hang out with cowards who use their full power on anything that they see as a threat. Even Tsukune himself knows not to fight anyone with full strength, otherwise it wastes energy."

Kuyou grunted. "Bark while you can, angel." he said. "You will not survive to see the next day!"

Haru raised his eyebrows. "Now, why do you hate me so much?" he asked. "Is it because I nearly butchered your allies? Come on, they were in my way. What else does anyone do with a roadblock other than annihilate them? Hell, I didn't even need to try breaking them it was so easily. Kind of makes you wonder why people are scared of a gang of weak, pathetic thugs."

Kuyou's eyes shined. "Bastard," he said, "you'll pay for that!"

Haru adopted his usual position. "I doubt that." he said.

Kuyou lunged at Haru, sending a flame-encased fist at him, in which Haru blocked with his sword, and followed up with a few quick slashes. Kuyou jumped back, and sent a spit of flame at Haru, who swung his sword, sending it to the ceiling, causing an explosion.

Haru got close to Kuyou, and performed Lion Cross on him, sending the leader back to the wall. Haru followed with several quick slashes, leaving Kuyou no time to retaliate. He then took flight, and delivered several Tiger Meteors on the weakened beast, who managed to send a shield of flame to block the last attack. Haru swung his sword, and Kuyou blocked it with his arms just in time.

"Damn angel!" Kuyou said, blood seeping from his body and face. "How dare you attack me, the leader of the PSC!"

"Hmph. "Haru said, "you call that an attack? I'm not even at full strength. Come on, hit me! I'm getting bored over here."

Kuyou gritted his teeth. "Cocky worm," he said, "how dare you insult me!"

Suddenly, a bright flash of light appeared from behind Haru. As the two opponents turned to the light, they saw Moka begin to change. Her hair turned silver, her eyes became dark red, and her aura grew and grew.

"Wh-what the-?" Kuyou said.

"About damn time," Haru said. "I was wondering when she would appear."

Moka's transformation completed, as her other half picked up Tsukune. Now, the real fight began, the angel thought.

In her mind, Other Moka was pissed. She had been witnessing the onslaught between the Newspaper Club and Kuyou from the rosario, and was grateful that Haru bought her other side time to get to Tsukune so that she could be unleashed.

But now, as she held on to Tsukune, she couldn't feel anything from him. No breath, no heartbeat, it was as if he was dead already…

Haru gripped his sword, still holding off the fire-born beast. "Great to see you again, Moka." he said, "I was wondering when you'd show up."

"Hmm." Other Moka said. "So that's the bastard who's been causing all our troubles, the one you're fending off? I suppose you want me to take care of him?"

"Actually, no." Haru replied. Other Moka looked at him. "I need you to get Tsukune, Gin, and the rest out of here. Things are about to get bloody."

"I see." Other Moka lowered her head. "You wanted me to emerge just so that there would be less people to deal with whilst fighting the coward, is that it?" She looked back, anger in her eyes. "Well, forget it! That bastard hurt me and Tsukune, and I intend to make him suffer…"

Haru forced Kuyou back, and pointed his masamune at him. "Well, then you best hurry up then. If you make it, you might have a chance to hurt him, if he's still breathing…"

Kuyou looked at Haru. "Don't get so cocky, fool!" he said. "When I defeat you, they're next!"

Haru moved the blade to Kuyou's throat. "Oh really? How do you suppose you do that when you haven't even landed a blow on me?"

Kuyou looked back at Other Moka. "So…" he said. "you really are a vampire, with the power of God and well-known immortal, a super monster without equal except for perhaps angels or demons. I heard rumors of your true form, but I couldn't believe that they were more than just stories…" He lowered his head, and tilted it back, laughing. "It doesn't matter! Even if you didn't have a vampire, they're still the same as the rest of these scum!"

"And you say I'm cocky?" Haru said. "At least I know and understand my limits. I don't dive into an attack half-cocked. No wonder you're so weak!"

Kuyou clenched his fists, but then looked behind Haru, a look of surprise on his face. "What? What the hell is she doing?"

Haru grunted. "I'm not easy to fool, beast. You'll have to try harder than that to-." He then felt an increase of aura from Other Moka's position, and as he turned back, he saw the vampire bite Tsukune's neck.

What? Haru thought. Why is she biting him? She can't be hungry at a time like-. His eyes widened as he then realized: Only the Moka others knew about did it. If the true Moka was doing it, it meant-.

"No!" Haru said, reaching out to her. "Stop! Don't do it!"

But he was too late. He could feel Other Moka's aura starting to shift to Tsukune's, confirming what he thought the vampire was doing. Just like before…

Kuyou, seeing his chance, sent a blast of fire to Haru, sending him crashing to a wall, where he crumpled, dropping his sword.

Other Moka dropped Tsukune to the ground. "Don't worry, everyone." she said, turning her attention to Kuyou. "I didn't suck his blood. I injected my own blood into Tsukune in order it save his life."

Kurumu grabbed Tsukune, who was still unconscious. "Of course!" she said. "With vampire blood…"

"If someone is injected with vampire blood with enough healing power strong enough to make them immortal," Yukari continued, "it might heal Tsukune from the inside out!"

Kurumu looked at her, then back at Other Moka. "Then it'll save Tsukune!?" she asked.

The vampire lowered her head. "Unfortunately, I don't know." she said, readying herself for battle. "There are three problems with reviving someone using this method. The first is that the success rate is low…" She then sent a kick at Kuyou, who managed to block it.

"Beware," Other Moka said to Kuyou, "If Tsukune's life is not saved by this," her eyes filled with rage as her power increased. "I will rip your heart out from your chest, and crush it with my own hands!" She then sent a flurry of kicks at the beast, giving him little time to counter. She then sent a kick to Kuyou's face, sending him crashing to a wall nearby him.

Yukari stood in amazement. "Wow!" she said, "Moka-san's so strong!"

Kurumu blinked. "No," she said, still clutching Tsukune, "Something's wrong! Moka's not fighting with her overwhelming power!"

Other Moka landed nearby Haru. "Angel!" she said, "Help me with defeating this beast!"

She heard nothing, then turned to Haru, and was surprised at what she saw.

Haru, still in the spot he landed on from earlier, a look of fear on his face. Unbeknownst to her, Haru's mind was racing through a giant mess of memories. Flashes of events long since passed, with death intertwining them all.

Haru could not move. It was if seeing Other Moka give Tsukune some of her vampire blood brought back horrible memories.

Moka kneeled next to him. "Haru-san," she said, "what's wrong? Say something!"

Haru did nothing, but kept breathing very fast.

The vampire then felt a blast of aura near her, and dodged just in time as a blast of fire sent by Kuyou separated the two.

"What?" Kuyou said, a smile creeping on his face. "That's it? Where it this so-called super vampire? Is it not working on me somehow?"

Other Moka landed near the others, rubbing her leg. "No," she said, "this is the second problem." She raised her leg to reveal a bruise. "As I have given Tsukune a large amount of the blood within me that is the source of power for a vampire, my powers are now inevitably weakened."

Kuyou laughed, and lunged at the vampire. "Die!" he shouted.

Other Moka blocked the hit, and tried to dodge the repeating hits Kuyou sent, until he managed to knock her back with a punch to her face.

"Moka!" Yukari shouted.

Kurumu sat still. He's too strong! she thought. Moka went as far as to sacrifice her own strength to save Tsukune, but if she's this weak, then it would be all for nothing!"

Kuyou smiled as his tails swung around in a circle. "Weak." he said, crossing his arms. "As if you weren't even a monster. This is all because you got drunk playing friends with that damn human." His tails began to create fireballs in the air. "You'd best burn in my flames and repent for you ignorance."

Kurumu closed her eyes. "Moka!" she shouted.

Kuyou laughed as he performed Hazy Rolling Flame on the vampire.

But before he could, he felt a surge of great power burst behind him, as he looked back to see Tsukune stand up. Kurumu and Yukari sat nearby, startled.

Kuyou was confused. "Aono Tsukune?! How? Why are you…? How are you…?"

Tsukune did not answer, as he stood there silently as his power began to grow.

"This is crazy!" Kuyou continued. "You should be dead! If you are truly a human, you would've been burned beyond hope! What in the hell are you…?"

He then noticed something different about Tsukune. His injuries, he thought, the burns that should've been mortal wounds are healing!

Kurumu started to shake. Incredible! she thought. This must be the power of a true vampire! Thanks to Moka's blood, the power of a vampire is inside him!

Tsukune then looked on, as his hair turned silver, and his aura became that of a vampire's.

Kuyou then realized. "I see now," he said, "So you were never a human. It's not possible for a human to survive a blast like that! That means you were a monster after all?! Dammit! Ishigami tricked me!"

Suddenly, he felt a powerful blow knock him back. He turned around to see Haru, finally back to his senses, clutching his sword. "Hey," he said to Kuyou, "remember me, jackass?"

Kuyou summoned a spit of fire, but then felt Other Moka grab hold of his waist.

"What?!" Kuyou shouted.

Other Moka smiled. "Good to see you back to reality, Haru-san!" she said.

Haru grunted, energizing his sword.

"Out of my giving of my blood to revive Tsukune, this is the third problem!" she continued. "Even I can't be sure what transformations will take place due to the vampire blood flowing inside his body…"

Kuyou freaked. Damn! he thought. What have I done, I let my guard down when the angel attacked me!

"Hmph." Haru said. "Be that as it may, it'll have to work." He then called out to Tsukune. "If you're still in there, let's take this bastard down together!"

Other Moka squeezed her arms, making Kuyou cough up blood.

"Tsukune!" she said, "Do it!"

Tsukune's eyes flashed, as he and Haru ran towards the paralyzed Kuyou.

"No," Kuyou said, "It's not possible! DO YOU REALLY THINK YOU CAN DEFEAT THE LIKES OF ME?!"

No one answered, as Tsukune used his power to punch Kuyou in the face, while Haru cut a deep wound on his back and chest, sending the beast flying out of Moka's grasp and into the wall he hit earlier, blood pouring out from his body.

Not very classy for someone's last words, Haru thought.

Kurumu, Yukari, and even Gin, who had recently regained conscious, were shocked at the assault. "No… No way." Gin said.

Tsukune stood where he did, and then fell to the ground, his power disappearing as he returned to normal.

Kurumu grabbed him as she got close, trying to see if he was alright.

Other Moka rubbed her shoulder. "He's fine." she said. "I think he spent my blood's supernatural power. Not only are his wounds healed, but he should wake up as his normal self."

Haru lowered his sword, de-energizing it. "Good to know." he said.

Kurumu hugged Tsukune, tears starting to fall from her face.

Yukari helped Gin get up, as Haru and Other Moka walked to the unconscious Kuyou, who slowly returned to human form.

"Well?" the vampire said. "You don't have a problem with Tsukune being at this school anymore, now do you?"

Kuyou didn't answer.

"I'll take that as a no." Haru said. "If you can hear me, fool, listen well: Next time you want a piece of us, don't fight fire with sparks, or you'll die next time…"

He then turned around to see some of the other PSC members, including Heihachi, stare in shock.

"M-my God," Heihachi said. "Kuyou-sama… he's…"

Haru looked at him. "Did you forget what I told you to do?" he asked.

Heihachi shook in fear, and with the others, left running.

As Other Moka carried Tsukune with Gin and the girls, Ishigami stood on top of the gates, as she speculated the outcome.

"So…" she said, "Kuyou failed to destroy you. I see that using other monsters will do nothing good for me, so I'll accept this as a loss on my part."

She smiled as her hair moved with the wind. "Newspaper Club…" she said, "Come play with me again sometime."

She then coughed up blood as she felt something go through her stomach. She looked down to see a red blade protruding from her gut.

She screamed in pain, but realized she couldn't as a hand reached and kept her from saying anything. She looked behind her to see Haru, eyes full of anger, holding the sword that was going through her.

She tried to struggle, but each move made her bleed even more.

"Ishigami…" Haru said. "Did you think I really forgot about you? Don't make me laugh. I never forget those who stand in my way."

Ishigami tried to bite him with her snakes, but then realized that like before, it did nothing to him. Haru twisted the blade a bit, causing the gorgon to move in pain.

"Damn you, woman," he continued. "You were so close. So damn close to ruining my plans!"

Wha? Ishigami thought, what does he mean?

"If anyone is going to kill Moka Akashiya," Haru said, "It will only be me. And I will not allow anyone to get in my way, or else they shall die by my hand."

Ishigami's eyes widened. What? He wants her…

"So let's make a deal, shall we?" he said close to her ear. "You leave Youkai Academy, and never come back, and I'll spare your life. Come back, and I'll turn you into a bloodbath. Forget your petty attempts of revenge, for only my vengeance is more ideal. That monster will die by my hand, no one else. Understand?"

Ishigami stood still, and then slowly nodded.

"Good." Haru drew the blade out of her, as she buckled to the knees, almost falling to the ground.

"Uematsu-kun." she said, trying to stop the bleeding. "What ARE you? Not even an angel could withstand my stoning effect… Why do you want the bitch dead?"

Haru pointed his masamune at her. "I have my own reasons." he said. "And they are not any of your business. Now leave! I'll not tell you a third time."

Ishigami looked at Haru, and with a hand still on the spot the blade went through, jumped off and ran for the exit.

Haru took his bag, wiped the blade, and stored it. It's happening all over again, he thought. I can't believe Moka actually injected her own blood into Tsukune. He must've gotten not near as much as… No. It won't happen again. It can't! I won't allow it! Haru looked into the distance, as he saw the others walk to the dorms. I'm running out of time. If I don't hurry, Tsukune will share the same fate from long ago. Wait a little longer, Ryu-san, he continued as he spread his wings, and took off, soon, the day of reckoning will come, and the vampires will pay for what they did! Very soon…

To be continued…
