Chapter 1: New-born love! Has she always been so cute?
(Aihi! Itsu mo datta o Kawaii?) 愛朝! いつもキュートだったのですか？
Mud and puddles were present at each step Tsukune Aofno took, yesterday rain had poured like a faucet left open, and what was worse it was the Rain seasons, in between the end of spring and the beginning of summer. A bit of a problem for him. Youkai gakuen was so scary and even though he'd grown accustomed to it, it was a bit depressive...for normal humans like him or well not that normal but...the gray sky made him gloomy so did the road of tombstones on his way school. Yet the smell of morning dew on the grass cheered him up a bit.
-"Moka-san hasn't appeared yet...Did she oversleep again?"- He said to no one scratching his chin. –"I hope she ate her breakfast..."- he chuckled to himself
While he stared at the gray sky he felt a pair of arms embrace him with a great strength. Knowing who it was, he sweat dropped.
-"OHIYO TSUKUNE!"- A happy Kurumu said hugging him by behind.
-"Ugh...Yeah morning...Um...Kurumu-chan...Hug...too...strong...I...Air..."-
-"Gomen..."- she laughed sheepishly. –"Um...I...Baked some cookies for you...I thought...we could...eat them at lunch?"- she said blushing a little.
-"Er...Sure I..."-
-"Thanks! You're the best!"- she said putting his head between her breasts. -"I love you! I love you! I love you!"-
-"Ah...Kurumu...Air...I..."- he said slowly fading to asphyxia.
While he was in paradise...Tsukune tripped with the impure soil and fell right on top oh her, hands right on her voluptuous chest. The sealed bag of cookies fell right beside them...forgotten.
-"Ah...soft?"- he said noticing the softness in his hands. –"AH! SORRY! I DIDN'T THIS IS NOT...!"-
He tried to take his hands right of her but...Kurumu put hers on top of his to prevent they'd leave. She wanted his warm touch and even if it was by accident this was heaven to her.
-"It's ok...just be gentle."-
-"What...?"-
Right then he noticed something, her heartbeats were faster and her cheeks were cherry red...Tsukune noticed something, her violet orbs were staring straight a his own...Chocolate socked orbs met tender violet...He was lost in them...that type of expression had a name...affection but...
Kurumu for her part was totally lost in her destined one's shocked but handsome eyes...his hands were at an improper area though she didn't mind, if they were gonna be together scenarios like this were bound to be common, besides she was getting his warm hands...
-"I...Tsukune..."- she wrapped her arms around his neck, while he put his hands on he shoulders.
-"Kurumu-chan..."-
Slowly her pink lips begun to get closer and closer...The brown haired boy was mesmerized at her purple eyes...and her smell was that of cherries...her shampoo was having quite an effect on him, that smell sure was intoxicating him...and her warm breath slowly got closer and closer...
-"Get off him, pervert succubus!"- A pack of Ice needles made her get off.
-"Not now..."- the blushing girl muttered to herself. –"Why do I always get interrupted?"-
While she still was talking an enormous Iron pot fell on her head making her go to the ground.
-"That's what you get for doing pervert things to Tsukune-san, you cow!"- Yukari said shaking her wand. Mizore and the small witch approached the fallen succubus, so she prepared to argument with the other 2.
-"Won't you ever learn you libidinous...?"- Mizore was interrupted by Tsukune.
-"It's not like that!"-
-"T...Tsukune?"- Kurumu asked a bit surprised.
-"Tsukune?"- The ice maiden asked.
-"It's all a big misunderstanding! I tripped and my hands fell on..."- he said blushing of embarrassment. –"I'm guilty so I take responsibility...Mizore-chan, Yukari-Chan I take all responsibility."- he said stepping in front of her.
-"And the fact you were going to kiss her is an accident?"- Mizore said raising an eyebrow.
-"She was jut taking mud off my face."- He firmly stated.
-"Desu! But..."-
-"Ah! We're all late for class let's go!"- The human boy said running.
Sitting in class the sensei passed list.
-"Akashiya...Oh right..."-
-"What? Nekonome-sensei what happened to Moka-san?"-
-"Yesterday she had cleaning duties and she was caught in the rain due to that."-
-"No!"- Tsukune jerked his fist.
-"No problem Aono-kun. In a week she'll be fine she just needs rest. Later could you take her all the homework for the week?"-
-"Sure."-
All of them had arrived in class and due to their lateness Tsukune sat beside Kurumu while Mizore was at a far end of the classroom. Now Tsukune found himself in worry. Was she alright? How weak was she? Water was her weakness and she was caught in a huge storm...the boy's heart was trapped in a cage of worry and despair to see her.
For her part, the cute girl sitting beside him was a bit jealous...
Moka...Always Moka. What did she have that allured him away from her? Her chest was bigger, her hair was cutter and her eyes were more round! Or...so she thought.
Why? At least for once it'd be good if Tsukune looked at her, not just as a friend but as a girl; numerous times, she'd declared her love for him, even at the time they met, she was willing to do "it" with him, at that time, it was just physical but now, she knew Tsukune. Kind, compassionate, sweet and determined...The fact that he had not taken a decision, despite all the attrition she'd taken for him hurt and a lot. This was just a needle compared to the dagger that struck her heart, however there she was...in love with him
-"Are you worried?"-
-"Yeah..."-
-"No problem. Moka won't die you know. Cheer up!"- She said smiling fakely.
-"I will...Thanks."-
Tsukune noticed her face, though smiling it was tinted with a bit of jealousy and anger...He could see right through her...
-"What? Do I have something on my face? You want to kiss me?"- She asked jokingly.
-Kurumu-chan...Are you angry...?"- he said his face filled with concern.
-"Huh? No! You're imagining things."-
-"But..."-
-"I'm fine! Now let's copy so we can study together!"-
-"Ok..."-
-"Don't forget you promised!"- She smiled. –"Don't look at me like that Tsukune...it only makes it hurt more."-
-"Why is she angry? Is it because I'm worried about Moka-san...I'll apologize later."-
Tsukune found himself playing with a soccer ball and even though, it was his favorite his sport, his mind was elsewhere...with Kurumu. He felt bad she tried to cheer him up, but he only had focused on Moka. Like it or not, she always was there for him, sometimes in inappropriate ways but support was support, like when Yukari hurt him, with tenderness she cured him...He owed her a big apology.
He thought all this while he was making the ball bounce in the air with, his feet, not letting it touch the ground.
-"Aono knows his moves."- Some in the crowd said.
-"It seems you know the basics Aono. Not bad, since you always had a poor progress. If you train had you'll be a regular! Now go and get some rest."- Kotsubo sensei ordered.
-"Yes sir."- he said blankly.
-"Up Next, Kurono!"-
-"Hai, Ririko sensei."-
The blue haired ran across the track with all her speed, she wanted to see her destined one and she wasn't going to be stopped. Though, finding him was a task in itself.
-"1:00 not bad."-
-"Um Ririko-sensei may I rest? I'm a bit Dazy."-
-"Ok, just because you had such great timing. Up next Shirayuki."-
-"Ririko-sensei it's a lie!"- The little witch exclaimed.
-"Yeah, she's as healthy as her overgrown chest."-
-"Sendo, Shirayuki. 20 laps for disrespectful behavior."-
-"But..."- both complained.
-"30 for negation. Now, hurry before I make you take private lessons with me."-
Tsukune sat down beneath a tree and sighed. Would he apologize? Should he?
He put his hand on his pocket and a small bag came out, the cookies she made for him.
Taking one out, it had the shape of a heart...he wondered if her own hear, Kurumu-chan's heart was as fragile as this...?
-"Love..."- he trailed off.
-"Were you thinking about Moka?"- a sad voice came from behind him.
-"Kurumu-chan!"- He beamed.
-"Were you?"- She insisted.
-"No...I was thinking about you."- He said eating the cookie.
-"Lying doesn't go with you Tsukune."-
-"I'm not. Earlier in class, you tried to cheer me up and I didn't even thank you...I was too busy thinking about Moka-san. Sorry."-
-"Tsukune..."- she said turning away embarrassed. –"I wasn't angry I couldn't get angry at you..."- she bit her lip.
-"Huh? Thanks."- He grinned sheepishly. –"Hey shall we eat your cookies? They're good."-
-I don't remember putting love potion on them...or did I? In any case...he's looking at me."- She smiled. –"Ok..."-
Kurumu took a star shaped cookie and put it in her hand.
-"Now Say Ah!"-
-"Um...ok..."- he said opening his mouth.
-"Good! Another one Ah!"-
The tender scene continued, however the outcome wasn't as Tsukune expected. Many bystanders started talking and others started murmuring.
-"Aono-kun and Kurono are dating? I hope they publish it in the news!"-
-"Yeah, that make a Gutsy-scooped article!"-
-"Such a cute couple!"-
-"Ok! Tsukune settled for her! Akashiya is free!"-
-"What? Tsukune and Kurumu are dating? Is Mokie free?"-
-"Um...Kurumu-chan..."-
-"Let them talk...I don't mind." She said laying her head in his chest.
-"Uh...I don't think you should...do that...they'll harass you..."-
-"So what? I don't care...unless you don't like me?"- She said all googly eyed.
-"I...no...I mean you're beautiful...AH!"- He stopped right then and there.
-"I'm what?"- She cajoled her eyelashes and licked her lips seductively.-"Your heart is beating faster."-
-"Ah...no...I..."-
-"I'm what? Say it."- She ordered.
-"Beautiful."-
-"TSUKUNE THINKS I'M BEAUTIFUL! YAHOO-HOO!"-
-"Um I..."-
-"You're forgiven."- She smiled.
-"Am I?"-
-"Yeah. I was Mad because you didn't see my concern but...You've made my day...Now...Try to look at me more often ok?"- She kissed his cheek.
Felling her soft lips Tsukune found himself flabbergasted...when he knew it he had been in a Daze for more than 15 minutes. Hand on the place where she kissed him.
Now he found himself in front of Moka's room, with a smile he knocked on the door. He was going to see his beloved girl...
-"Yes? Ah Tsukune..."- she smiled weakly.
-"Moka-san. Are you ok?"-
-"Yes. I just need rest, I was careless, sorry to make you worry..."-
-"Not at all...Here, your work."- he said smiling.
-"Thanks. Actually I...haven't eaten decently..."-
-"I see. Does Moka-san want it?"-
-"Tsukune..."- she trailed off blushing.
-"Moka-san..."-
-"Tsukune..."-
-"Moka-san..."-
The vampire girl readied her fangs when...the boy had a memory of earlier in the day.
-"Try to look at me more often ok?"-
-"Kurumu-chan..."-
Immediately he backed away from her and panted.
-"I...sorry Moka-san I've got to study! Get well soon ok? I'll come tomorrow I promise! See you!"-
-"Tsukune...?"-
The boy ran fast, ten thousand questions in his mind: why did she appear in his mind right when he was with Moka? Why? When did she gain that power? No, she didn't it was His own mind that interfered...He blocked himself from his Moka-san...but Why...?
-"Did...I look at her?"-
Next time:
Hey, Tsukune here.
Yesterday I didn't let Moka-san suck on me...moreover I've been thinking strange things...Kurumu-chan popped on my mind and since then, that incident's been repeating itself again and again. Strange...Why do I feel Uncomfortable around her? For the worse, Nekonome-sensei has left group work and as fate would have it...I'm with her...Next! On: Only time will tell: Bonds with a friend. A new morning. What's wrong with me...?
