Jasper: There's no need to get upset, I've heard the Manga's a lot different from the Anime, and I really don't care. I'm an anime guy, have been since I was born, so if you don't like it because it's not like the Manga, then don't read it. I warned everyone in the first chapter it wasn't going to be like the Manga but you read it anyway. That's your fault, not mine, so instead of getting all up-ity, maybe you should have left as soon as you read that it was from a guy who watches the Anime. I could read all of the Manga now, and it won't make me change how I feel about the Anime, not one bit. While it may give me an idea or two, because the Manga is still ongoing, I wouldn't change my story over to the Manga version.

And I know Ghouls are hated creatures, that I know, I have had a friend or two who has read the Manga. Which is why Moka was upset. And about my oc, like I said before, the Headmaster/School Director, one of the dark lords, brought him in. If anyone can secure an S class vampire out of the blue, it would be a dark lord. So maybe you should read what I write a bit more carefully. And I don't appreciate what you wrote in your review, not one bit. There's no need to hate on my story, just because it's from the Anime. And I'm not trying to be mean, I was trying to be patient with you, but since you wont be patient with me, piss off!

Sorry about that to anyone who is reading this story, I just don't like to take insults lying down. Because he gave no constructive criticism, he just bitched and bitched. Which reminds me, I thank everyone who has added this story to their alert list and/or favorites, thank you very much. And to anyone who prefers the Manga to the Anime, that's your decision and I respect it. I want you to know, I have nothing against the Manga, just people like Jasper. But a certain reader got me to try the Manga just recently, and my honest opinion is that the Anime is better. I dislike the Manga, I honestly do, but there's nothing wrong with it, well to me there is but still.

But like I said, if you like the Manga more power to you. But if you like the Anime better, then chat me up, because I love the anime. But I dislike the Manga, that's all there is to it. Opinions are opinions, and the one that matters the most is your own. Anyway, sorry for the delay and my big mouth, okay then, here's chapter 3/episode 3, now please read, enjoy and review.

Tsukune, who had just finished getting dressed, exited his room, it was the next day and he needed to keep his promise and explain everything to his girls, excluding Moka of course, since she already knew. But the question flowing through Tsukune's mind was, "How the hell am I going to explain the Ghoul situation? I know Moka explained a bit of it to them, but how am I gonna tell them about what they don't know? About how a Ghoul grows fangs, craves blood and likes to do anything destructive. Their going to freak out, I just hope they don't blame Moka. I wonder what they'll think of me once I turn into that, I'll become a monster and never get to see my girls again. I really hope the school Director can do something about this, otherwise I don't know what I'll do."

As soon as Tsukune exited his dorm, all of his girls jumped him, including Moka. So he sat down and him and Moka explained the situation to them, it didn't go over well. After getting Kurumu and Mizore to calm down, they stopped chasing Moka, and they all headed to school. Once again, it was just a normal day, that is until they all, excluding Ruby since she wasn't in the club, arrived at the Newspaper club. As Tsukune and his girls entered the club room, the were greeted by the sight, of Gin, the head of the Newspaper club, talking with their faculty adviser, Mrs. Nekonome. Gin looked to them and gestured to some seats, "Go ahead and sit down guys, we've been waiting for you."

Tsukune, Kurumu, Mizore, Moka and Yukari did as he said and all took a seat, they were all wondering what this was about. Gin then continued, "Mrs. Nekonome says, that if she's with us, we can go on a field trip to the human world again. And she's had this one planned for a while, so I suggest you five go and get dressed for a casual day."

Tsukune was worried about this, "Wait a minute, where are we going?"

Gin smiled, and Mrs. Nekonome started fidgeting in excitement, she answered for Gin, "The Newspaper club is going to, a shopping mall!"

Tsukune's girls jumped up in excitement, well Mizore didn't but the others did. While Tsukune, Tsukune face palmed, they were going so Mrs. Nekonome could get some more fish, but that's not what bothered him. It's the fact that, Moka, Kurumu, Mizore and Yukari are going to a shopping mall, in the human world,Tsukune couldn't help but think, "This is going to end badly, very badly. I can see it now, somehow we're gonna attract too much attention and we'll have to spend the rest of the day running from the police. I hope the girls can behave themselves, I really do, we just have to keep a low profile for the day, we'll shop for a couple of hours and come back. I hope."

As Gin exited the room, to go get dressed himself, he told them where to meet and when, "At five thirty, at the bus stop, be there guys."

Tsukune looked up at the clock, that was only about fourty five minutes from now. When the girls saw this, they scrambled back to their rooms, while Tsukune just calmly walked back to his. As he walked past the girls dorm, he looked over at the bike rack, it held several bikes Tsukune had never seen anyone on, as well as Moka's bike and Kokoa's bike. When Tsukune took a closer look, Kokoa's bike wasn't in the best condition. The bike chain was rusted, the pedals had that worn look to them, the steel frame of the bike was a bit dented and the seat was torn up. He couldn't help but wonder what the hell she had done to get her bike like that, before her first school year was even over.

Tsukune shook his head and continued to his room. When Tsukune had arrived in his room, he began looking through his closet, it only took about two minutes to find exactly what he needed. He got out of his school uniform, and changed into some jeans, a black custom made belt, a black short sleeve shirt, a pair of black sneakers and a brown bomber jacket. Tsukune was about to walk out his door, but then he realized, he was going to a shopping mall, so besides keeping an eye on the girls, he could buy a few things as well.

So he quickly went rummaging through his things, and finally after almost thirty full minutes of searching, he pulled out his wallet and stuffed it into his right jeans pocket. Then he proceeded in leaving his room, then the dorm and then heading to the bus stop. When he arrived, the girls were already there, because he had taken half an hour to find his damn wallet. They all looked towards Tsukune and smiled, that's when he realized what each of them were wearing.

Yukari was wearing a white, frilly, button up blouse that looked almost too big for her, then there was her white matching skirt, which was a bit longer than her school standard mini skirt. Along with her white dress shoes, and thankfully she left her wand and hat in her room. Tsukune was half worried that she might be the one to attract the most attention.

Then there was Kurumu, she swapped out her school uniform for a dark blue midriff shirt, exposing her entire stomach, with some tight, form fitting jeans. Along with a pair of lightly colored shades and some blue sandals. Now while Yukari had half of Tsukune's worry over attracting too much attention, Kurumu had the other half of worry placed on her.

Then Mizore, she had ditched her white sweatshirt with long dark blue sleeves, and was just wearing the black singlet that was underneath it. She still had the yellow pendant around her neck, as well as her long dark and light purple-striped stockings. But her school skirt was replaced by, an even shorter black skirt, but underneath it she wore purple short shorts. And she still had on her usual white shoes, and she still had a belt tied to her left leg.

And last, but not least, Moka, she was wearing a pink, short sleeve t-shirt, over it she wore a light yellow jacket. Her Rosary, still dangling from her neck, of course Tsukune didn't expect for her to ask him to take it off, so it was just him taking in her full appearance. She also had a white skirt that was about as long as the school standard mini skirt, as well as a pair of black dress shoes.

And as he walked closer to the girls, he noticed that the girls were all gawking at him, with blushes on their faces, he examined himself as he asked what was on his mind, "What? What is it?"

He stopped and looked at the girls for the answer, Moka answered for them, "Well, it's just that we don't get to see you out of your uniform very much. And you look really handsome in that outfit."

Kurumu then whistled before adding her own personal opinion in, "Yeah! Tsukune, you look hot!"

Mizore nodded her head in agreement as she too spoke, "Indeed, you look very cute Tsukune."

Yukari just giggled as she spoke one word, "Sexy."

Tsukune couldn't help but blush at all of their comments, "Thanks girls."

As the bus exited the tunnel and rolled up, Gin stepped out, wearing a pair of white sneakers, a pair of jeans, a brown belt, a light blue shirt and a jean jacket. He then ushered the five into the bus, Mrs. Nekonome was in just a jean skirt, heels and white dress shirt. Tsukune and all his girls sat at the back, so they could all be near him, while Gin sat up front, as did Mrs. Nekonome. And of course, the bus driver, the creepy bus driver if you asked Tsukune, was wearing the same thing, cigar in his mouth, as he checked the rear view mirror and put it in a position so he could see Tsukune at all times. So, finally, the Newspaper club took off on their field trip.

Kokoa slammed her door shut, stomped over to her bed and flopped down upon it, she was beyond fuming in anger. She had tried to get Tsukune alone all day long, but every time she got close to him, one of the teachers ran her off. And he wasn't in his club room, the Newspaper club room, and that was beyond irritating to her. She still had to check his room, but first she wanted to clear herself of anger, less she risk pushing him even farther away. After about five minutes, she felt cooled down, so she got off her bed, exited her room, exited the girl's dorm and made her way next door to the boy's dorm. But instead of going through the door, she climbed up the wall, once again, until she reached Tsukune's window.

He was in there, so she quickly moved over, hiding herself, and after a second or two, she looked back into his room. He was wearing a totally different outfit from the school uniform, and Kokoa blushed as she couldn't help but think, "He looks really good in that outfit."

She paid attention to what he was doing, he was looking for something, and he looked for it for almost half an hour, she didn't see what he pulled out of a bag, but apparently it was what he was looking for. He stuffed whatever it was into his right pocket and left the room. Kokoa opened his window and climbed into his room, she closed the window and looked around. She would have liked to look through his things, maybe find out a few things about him that she didn't know, but it was obvious he was going somewhere, so she quickly exited his room and began trying to catch up with him. She followed him to the bus stop, but when she got there, the bus was already leaving. And there was no way that whatever teacher was on there would let her on.

So she only had one choice, she quickly dashed back to the girl's dorm, mounted her bike and quickly began peddling to the bus stop. And from there, she began chasing after the bus. Now normally she wouldn't have had a problem with catching up to them, but as soon as they exited the tunnel, Kokoa had to begin working her way past traffic, which repeatedly slowed her down. As she did this, besides the car horns and roaring engines, it was too quiet, that's when she realized that she had left her Ko buddy back in her room, sleeping in her closet. But that was just an after thought, as she realized she was slowing down and losing the bus, so she began to speed up.

She could feel the bike, jeering of course, she could feel the wear and tear that her trips with her bike have caused, and it angered her. The bike was going to break one of these days, she needed a new one. She shook her head of this thought and just kept after the bus.

Tsukune sat in the bus, quite silently, Moka noticed this and nudged him a little bit, so he looked over at her, "Yeah?"

"Are you okay? You don't seem very excited about this trip."

"Everything's fine, I'm just tired, that's all."

Before Moka could say anything else the bus stopped, they had only been driving for thirty minutes or so, yet they were already at their destination.

On the way there, Mrs. Nekonome explained that they were coming here, so that they could learn to blend into human society at the mall. While it was a valid point, the Newspaper club knew better, she wanted a big helping of fresh fish and this was the best place to get some. How she had found out about that, well that they didn't know, but either way, they were glad to get off school grounds for a while. The seven began walking towards the mall, Mrs. Nekonome fantasizing about fish, Gin scoping for pictures, he had brought his camera along with him. Mizore acting normal, well Mizore normal. And the other three girls were looking all around, taking the image of it in, while Tsukune's eyes couldn't stop looking from left to right, left to right, just watching for any kind of trouble that might rear it's ugly head.

The bus had stopped, so Kokoa pulled up behind it and got off her bike, she looked around the parking lot, but couldn't see them anywhere. So they would've had to have gone inside the mall by now, Kokoa had never been to a mall before, let alone a human one. But she really didn't care, so she quickly walked towards the mall, she was on a hunt, like usual, but her target was someone entirely different from her sister. Tsukune Aono, that was her target, the question was, how was she gonna find him among all the other humans? After all, from the looks of the parking lot, the mall was beyond busy today. Kokoa just stopped thinking about it and proceeded to hunt him down.

As soon as the Newspaper club and their faculty adviser entered the mall, Mrs. Nekonome was off to find fish, while Gin was off on his own pervy venture. Tsukune couldn't help but shake his head, they were like kids in a toy store. But as Mrs. Nekonome was taking off to find fish, she called out to her students, "Meet back here at eleven! That's when we're heading back!"

It was about six now, so that left five hours, Tsukune had to buy what he needed in that amount of time. But before he could even move, his girls stood in front of him, Moka the one to speak, "Tsukune, we've decided that since we have five hours, you could shop with each one of us for an hour. If you wanted to that is..."

Tsukune smiled at his girls, "Of course. But what about the last hour?"

All the girls looked at each other, then back to Tsukune, Kurumu the one to speak, "Well obviously, you choose who to shop with for the final hour."

Tsukune just slowly nodded his head, but he couldn't help but wonder, "How the hell am I going to do this? Maybe I could just slip away for a while each time, no, no, no! That wouldn't work, the girls would feel like I didn't want to be around them, and that couldn't be farther from the truth. I guess I'll just have to wait for that last hour...this is gonna be a pain in the ass to pull off. But wait a minute, Gin's here, maybe he can help me out."

"Hold on one sec girls, I'll be right back."

Tsukune quickly made his way over to Gin, the girls watched as he whispered something to him, they couldn't help but wonder what Tsukune was saying. Gin looked like he wasn't gonna agree to it for a moment, because he was shaking his head, but Tsukune whispered something else and it looked like Gin sighed. The he smiled, put his right hand on Tsukune's shoulder and nodded his head. The two looked at the girls, and turned towards, them, both of their hands, behind both of their backs. The girls could easily tell Tsukune and Gin had pulled something out of their jean pockets, Gin handed Tsukune something, and stuffed something into his pocket. Tsukune took it, stuffed it into something the girls couldn't see and put said object into his own jeans pocket. Tsukune and Gin then turned to each other again and shook hands.

So now Tsukune was on his way back. Kurumu then asked aloud, "What do you think all that was about?"

The other girls just shrugged. Tsukune walked up to his girls and asked, "Okay, who's first?"

Yukari giggled, "I am!"

She quickly ran to Tsukune's side and hugged his right arm tightly, Tsukune just shook his head, that's when he noticed the other girls walk over to a bench and sit down. "Hold on a minute Yukari."

Tsukune, Yukari still attached to his arm, walked over to where the girls were sitting and posed a question, "What are you girls doing?"

Moka was the one to answer, "Waiting for you."

"Wait, your waiting...for me?"

Kurumu was the one to answer that one, "Yep. We'll wait right here until Yukari's turn is over with."

"But don't you girls wanna go shopping and have some fun?"

Mizore answered this time, "Doing anything in the human world, without you, wouldn't be any fun Tsukune. So until your free, we'll wait, right here."

Tsukune couldn't help but rub the back of his head, as he blushed at their willingness to wait on him, he tried his best, but he just couldn't will the blush away. "Well okay, if you girls say so. Let's go Yukari."

Yukari eagerly nodded her head, as she tightened her grip on Tsukune's arm, and the two began to walk away. Yukari led him around the mall for several minutes, but finally a store caught her eye, he stood right outside the store as she entered it. That's when he looked up at the sign for the store, it was a magic store. He couldn't help but sigh, Yukari was gonna be disappointed when she found out this was a 'fake magic' shop.

As she messed around on the isles, checking a few things out, Tsukune began to get lost in his thoughts, "I wonder why the girls are being so, calm on this trip. I half expected to get dragged all across this mall by all four of them, as they fought over me. Thank goodness that didn't happen, besides that, what if people saw us during that commotion, that would be awkward. Yeah, as if that same situation wasn't awkward at my house a few weeks back."

Tsukune was pulled from his thoughts as a pouting Yukari came stomping out the store, he followed behind her as she muttered, "I can't believe that magic store doesn't even have any decent tricks. I mean if your going to say you have magic, the least you can do is know how to make a half decent illusion."

She grabbed Tsukune by his right arm, "Let's go Tsukune."

"Right behind you."

But truly, he wasn't expecting her to know it was a fake magic shop, but she did, but even then she still didn't like it. But of course, she was a Witch, which meant she knew so much magic, that if she went into business in the human world, that she could go beyond professional, as long as she kept that it was real magic a secret. So unless you had a trick, that looked beyond amazing, and looked incredibly realistic, she wouldn't even bother calling it magic. And people were lucky they got that, Yukari had told him how most Witches hated and loathed fake magic. She was one of the more lenient ones.

Remembering that made Tsukune feel stupid, of course she knew it was a fake magic store, he just let her childish appearance get to him again. Even though she was a lot smarter, and more mature than she should be at her age. For the next thirty minutes Tsukune just followed Yukari around, allowing her to take in the sights, Tsukune couldn't help but think, "She may be mature for her age, and she may be a genius, but she's still a kid. A cute one at that. The fuck? What the hell is wrong with me? I'm going all pedophile here, I need to stop thinking like that!"

That's when Tsukune was once again pulled from his thoughts, by Yukari tugging on his arm. He looked down at her, she had a huge blush on her cheeks as she pointed to the store she wanted to go into next. Why she pointed instead of speaking, Tsukune didn't know, but as he followed to where she was pointing, he couldn't help but give a deep blush as well. It was a lingerie store, and she wanted him to take her into it, he looked down at her and quickly tried to talk her out of it, "No way! We cannot go in there Yukari! Listen, I'm a guy, a guy, I'm not welcomed there! That is a girls only store, if I walked in there I'd be branded as a pervert in this mall, and the surrounding area for my whole life!"

"Not if you walk in with a girl, duh! You could just say your here with your girlfriend, it's not like you'd be lying or anything."

"Yukari, that may be true, but I have to tell you something, it may not apply to the monster world, it might not even be recognized in the monster world at all. But if I'm seen with you in that way, I'll be branded as a pedophile and child molester, registered as a sex offender and be thrown in prison! Because your only thirteen, I'm seventeen!"

Tsukune then covered his mouth with his hand, to shut himself up, he looked around, horrified that someone might have heard him. But no one did, he took his hand away and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He then looked back at Yukari, she had tears in her eyes as she spoke to him, "So your saying that you don't want to be with me?"

Tsukune could literally hear his heart crack within his own chest as she said that, "No, it's nothing like that Yukari! But people my age, and people your age can't be together, it's forbidden, frowned upon, killed over and very, very punishable."

Yukari looked like she was about to break down, her voice came down to a whisper as she began speaking once more, "But isn't it enough that I love you? Shouldn't that be good enough? I know I asked you to wait for me, but if you have to wait for me to get older, you'll have already moved on with one of the others. Why does being young have to change what love is? I love you Tsukune, don't you believe me?"

Tsukune couldn't bare it anymore, he wrapped her into a tight hug as he whispered in her ear, "It's okay Yukari, I know you love me, and I...I...I love you too. But I love the other girls as well, that's why it's so hard for me to choose one of you. And even if things between us worked, you being thirteen and me being seventeen, no matter what it is, whether it's s..se...sex, or just a kiss, our relationship would never be accepted among more of my kind, Humans."

Yukari was utterly shocked by Tsukune's confession, she wasn't behind the other girls, he cared for her just as much as the others. But the rest of what he said, got her thinking, "So even if Tsukune picked me, he couldn't tell anyone in his family about it. At least not for a couple of years, because they would see him as a child molester and a pedophile. Wait, but does that mean...?"

Yukari pulled her head back and looked into Tsukune's eyes, and asked him one of the most ridiculous questions he had ever heard, in between her sniffling noises no less, "So, does that mean, that you don't care, how big my boobs are?"

A blush appeared on Tsukune's face as he answered her question honestly, "Not one bit."

Yukari smiled and buried her face in his chest, she pulled back, wiped her tears and then spoke, "If that's the case, then if anyone even tries to hurt you, or yell at you for being with me, then I'll kick their ass!"

Tsukune, smile and blush on his face, shook his head, Yukari once again buried her face into his chest, and she whispered to him, "Thank you, I needed to hear all that. I love you Tsukune."

Tsukune rested his right hand on top of her head, "I needed to say it. Now, where do you wanna go, because we only have about fifteen minutes left."

Yukari let go of Tsukune, and looked around, now that she couldn't hit the lingerie store, she needed to find something else. But nothing else caught her eye, so she and Tsukune just began walking around, just looking into different stores. But, all too soon, their time was up and they were on their way back to the other girls. They soon arrived at the bench, Yukari took a seat and Tsukune then asked the obvious question, "Okay then, who's next?"

That's when he noticed Mizore was nowhere in sight, two arms then draped over his shoulders, she was behind him. "I'm next Tsukune, and trust me, we're gonna have a unique time."

"With you Mizore, I have no doubt of that."

Mizore blushed at that, Tsukune turned around, and Mizore grabbed a hold of his left hand, with her right, interlocking their fingers. And the two walked off, Yukari was swinging her legs back and forth, a smile plastered to her face. And when Mizore and Tsukune were out of sight, Kurumu and Moka looked toward Yukari and spoke in unison, "What are you so happy about? What happened?"

Yukari couldn't help but giggle as she said, "It's a secret."

Tsukune and Mizore, walked hand in hand, Tsukune looking at a few stores, and Mizore looking, more like staring though, at Tsukune. Mizore was being real quiet, so Tsukune stopped and looked back at Mizore, "You okay Mizore?"

"Huh? Oh, yeah I'm fine Tsukune."

"Then, why don't you tell me where you wanna go? I know you've never been here before, but I'd figure you'd look around and find somewhere you wanna shop at, or something fun you'd want to do."

"We can do anything you want Tsukune, as long as I'm with you, I'll be happy."

Tsukune couldn't help but blush at that, "Mizore..."

A blush appeared on Mizore's face as she corrected him, "Didn't I tell you to start calling me, your little snow bunny?"

Tsukune couldn't help but blush even more as he answered, "I know you did, but I really don't want to. Because, Mizore, your name is beautiful, just like you, so calling you by anything else, would be nothing less than an insult."

Mizore's blush became quite heavy after that comment, Tsukune really wanted to get off the subject, it was very blush inducing. "Anyway, it's your hour, so if you see something you wanna do, tell me, okay?"

"I don't mind Tsukune. You pick."

Tsukune just sighed, and began looking around, that's when something caught his eye, there was a dance club in the mall. Tsukune couldn't help but think, "Strange...but convenient."

He turned to Mizore and smiled, "Okay then, let's dance."

He led her into the club, lights flashing, the DJ spinning a record, and everybody was dancing. That's when a slow song came on, Tsukune turned to Mizore, bowed and held his hand out, "Can I have this dance?"

Mizore blushed, "Of course, Tsukune."

He took her hand and led her onto the dance floor, and as they danced, out of the corner of his eye, Tsukune saw the flash of a camera go off. Tsukune let an almost silent sigh of relief out, one of the hard parts was done. They danced for almost twenty minutes, but finally decided to leave the club. It was fun, but staying the whole hour wasn't really an option. They walked around for a while, and as they did, Tsukune noticed the same lingerie shop that Yukari had wanted to go in, and when he saw it, he began walking just a bit faster. But he stopped as he saw an ice skating rink, he truly couldn't help but think, "Well damn, I guess this mall has everything."

He turned back to Mizore with a small smile, "You wanna go in?"

Mizore just gave a simple nod of her head. And the two entered, as they skated, Tsukune could hear a few people talking, saying things such as, 'Oh look, what a cute couple'. As Tsukune heard this, and he knew Mizore heard it too, he began to blush. As did Mizore, when she said something though, "You hear that Tsukune? Looks like other people approve of us as well. Doesn't matter what they say, but I honestly have to agree."

Tsukune's blush just grew a bit, as he tried to ignore the other people's comments. And once again, all too soon, their hour was up and they were on their way back to the other girls. They arrived at the bench, Mizore sat down and Tsukune asked once again, the obvious question, "Then, who's next girls?"

Kurumu jumped up and locked Tsukune in a death hug, but instead of a regular one, she wrapped her legs around his waist a buried his head in her breasts, once again. But he managed to pull his head back, before he could almost suffocate, again. That's when she got down, and grabbed onto Tsukune's right arm and rested her head on his shoulder, and the two walked off. Yukari and Moka both turned to Mizore and spoke in unison, "What happened?"

Mizore, a smile on her face, her sucker still in her mouth, just said four words, "Not going to tell."

Kurumu and Tsukune walked around for several minutes, until they found a clothing store. As they entered, Kurumu dragged Tsukune over to the women's section, and he just stood there as she looked through all the clothes. She did this for about half an hour, but she didn't like anything there, so she and Tsukune left. Tsukune couldn't help but sigh, their hour was already more than halfway over and they hadn't really done anything fun, or otherwise, yet. They walked for another minute or so, when, at the same time, both Tsukune and Kurumu caught sight of the lingerie shop that he and Yukari had almost went into. Just as Tsukune was going to recommend some random place, so Kurumu wouldn't notice the shop, she spoke, "Yahoo-hoo! A lingerie shop, come on Tsukune!"

"Wait no, no, not in there Kurumu!"

She ignored him and dragged him into the store, she grabbed several things and dragged him to the dressing room. She sat him down on a bench, "Okay, wait just one minute, I'm gonna try a few things on."

She then entered the dressing room, and a minute or so later she came out in a bathing suit, nothing Tsukune hadn't seen before. She tried on several things, each time she asked if she looked good and Tsukune always gave an almost emotionless yes. So when Tsukune wasn't looking she grabbed one more outfit, if you could call it that, and entered the dressing room once more. Tsukune sighed as he became lost in his thoughts, "Man I hope no one I know see's me here. The last thing I need is to be branded a pervert, I mean it's almost summer! So if I'm branded a pervert and it get's back to my local area, or even worse, my family, then I'm nothing short of fucked for this summer."

That's when, once again, Tsukune was pulled from his thoughts, as he heard Kurumu's voice, "Hey Tsukune, brace yourself, because this next one your really gonna like."

Tsukune looked at the dressing room door as it opened, and Kurumu stepped out, wearing a huge blush, a see through bra and see through panties. Tsukune couldn't help but fall off the bench as he began to have a massive nosebleed. At the same time, he screeched, "What the fuck?"

He hit his head on a steel clothing stand, and he couldn't help but groan in pain, he managed to get to his feet, covered his eyes and waved her off, "Get dressed Kurumu! I mean, what are you, crazy? Coming out here like that is not cool!"

Kurumu did as he said, but if he didn't have his eyes covered, he would have seen that she had tears in her eyes. Tsukune took several deep breathes and wiped the blood off, "Man I almost had a damn heart attack! She should know she can't do things like that! I mean damn, is she trying to kill me?"

When she came out dressed in the clothes she came in, she stormed passed him, out the store, she needed to get away from him. Tsukune was confused as she stormed passed him, but when he realized what she was doing, he quickly chased after her. It took a minute or so, but he managed to catch up to her, he put a hand on her shoulder and spoke, "Hey, Kurumu, what's wrong?"

She looked up at him, tears in her eyes, and told him, "Why do you always do that? Am I not attractive? Do I not look good enough for you? Am I ugly?"

Tsukune couldn't believe what he was hearing, "No! It's nothing like that!"

"Then why do you sound like a damn robot, when I ask if I look good in something? Why do you always look away when it comes to seeing me nude? Why?"

"Kurumu..."

Tsukune brought her into a warm embrace, as he explained himself, "I don't mean to sound like that, but asking if you look good in something is like asking if the human worlds sky is blue. You look good in anything and everything Kurumu. And the reason I always look away, is because, we aren't in a relationship so it's wrong to see you naked. I haven't chosen one of you yet, so I don't deserve those kind of privileges. And if I looked at any of you girls, then I wouldn't be able to tear my eyes away."

As Tsukune said this, he couldn't help but give a deep blush. Kurumu wrapped her arms around Tsukune and hugged him back, "Really Tsukune?"

"Of course. I can't believe you'd think that I think your ugly, you couldn't be farther from it. If your that worried about it, I can reassure you anytime you feel like you aren't beautiful, because you are beautiful, truly beautiful."

Kurumu buried her face into Tsukune's chest as she whispered, "Thank you, Tsukune. I love you, so much."

Tsukune tilted her head up so he could look into her eyes, he brought his head down, kissed her forehead, and then rested his forehead upon hers, and whispered, "I love you, too."

Then, Tsukune saw a flash come from his left, the flash of a camera that is. And Tsukune wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, another hard part of what he had to do today was partially over. Kurumu, shocked at Tsukune's words, looked up into his eyes, "What did you just say?"

Tsukune couldn't help but chuckle, "I said, I love you."

Kurumu smiled, as her tears began to flow, but Tsukune had a feeling these were happy tears. Tsukune then accidentally spotted the clock on the wall, since he had already seen it, he decided to check the time. And Kurumu's time was just about up. So a few minutes later, Tsukune stood in front of the girls bench, as Kurumu sat down and Moka jumped up. "My turn!"

Moka grabbed Tsukune's right hand, interlocking their fingers, and as they held hands, Moka proceeded to basically drag him away. Kurumu, who had the biggest, cockiest and basically happiest smile ever on her face, just sat there as Moka dragged Tsukune off. Mizore and Yukari looked toward Kurumu and asked in unison, "What happened?"

Kurumu giggled, "You two'll never know."

As Moka dragged Tsukune along, it took him a minute but he was eventually able to get to a running state. That way, he could keep up with her, without almost being dragged. But he was curious, and had been holding the question in long enough, "Hey Moka, when we got here, I expected you guys to start fighting, and clawing, trying to pull me away so one of you could have me all to themselves. Since it's happened before, I kinda felt that history had a way of repeating itself."

Moka stopped, as did Tsukune, she turned back and answered his question, "Well, we saw how that kind of stuff affected you here in the human world, last time we were here. You know, at your house, so we decided to come to a compromise and split the time with you evenly. That way, no more trouble for you, and we all get to spend time with you."

"Moka...I...I don't know what to say."

"Don't say anything, we all decided, so it's not just me. Besides, It's not like it's your fault, we just wanted to make sure we didn't embarrass you again, or get you into anymore trouble."

"Moka, your girls are just too good to me. Thank you, so much."

Moka smiled as he said this, "Now come on, let's go have some fun!"

Moka and Tsukune searched for several minutes, but couldn't find anything good, so they headed to the second floor. As soon as they got up there, an Arcade came into view, so they went there. They played several different games there, such as the classic Pac-Man, the claw machine where you grab a prize, Dance Dance Revolution, that one was difficult, if you asked Tsukune anyway. The steel mat was quite strange to move around on, very different from the home version of the game, it was even rearranged. They spent about half an hour in there before they left.

Tsukune and Moka spent the last thirty minutes just checking out the mall, but all too soon it was time to go back. They met with the other girls, and Moka sat down, all four then asked in unison, "So, who do you want to spend your last hour with?"

Tsukune was speechless for a minute, he looked around, and he spotted Gin, there waiting for him, like he was supposed to be. Tsukune then pointed to Gin, as he said, "Well, I need to do a little personal shopping. So I kinda need to be alone, with Gin, since he's, well he's Gin. I'll meet you all back here in an hour, okay?"

Gin then quickly made his way over to Tsukune, "Okay, you ready to grab those 'special things'?"

"Don't say it like that Gin! Yeah, whatever, come on let's go."

The two then walked off, The girls were confused as hell, they all looked at each other, still wondering what happened. As soon as they were out of earshot, Tsukune spoke, "Okay Gin, did the pictures come out well?"

Gin nodded his head as he handed Tsukune two pictures, one of him and Mizore dancing, and the second one of him and Kurumu, foreheads together. "These are great! You know Gin, if you used you powers for good instead of evil, then you could really make it in the newspaper business in either world."

"Hey, that's offensive, taking pictures of naked girls is for good. I mean, come on now, who doesn't want to see hot girls in their underwear, or in nothing at all?"

"Gin, shut up. Do you really want to get the shit kicked out of you by human girls too?"

"Well no, but..."

"Just forget about it Gin."

Tsukune couldn't help but think, "Man he'd be a pretty good guy if he wasn't so damn perverted."

"And anyway, about the cash I borrowed, I promise I'll pay you back over the summer, okay?"

Gin waved him off, "Forget about it. It's cool man. Your just getting some gifts for the girls right? So what are you gonna get them?"

"Oh, you'll see."

"Actually, no I won't, see ya!"

Gin then skulked off, towards the women's restroom. Tsukune just shook his head, he had several different stores to go to.

About an hour later, Tsukune was standing in front of the girls, a brand new red bike under his right arm, and a bag full of gifts in his left arm. The girls just stared at him with a questioning look, Tsukune couldn't help but chuckle at how the girls looked at him, "I got you guys gifts."

The girls faces lit up at that, Tsukune couldn't help but smile at that. He put the bike down and sat down with the girls, it was one big bench. "Okay, first off, come here Yukari."

Yukari stood up and walked over to the front of Tsukune, he pulled out a charm bracelet from the bag, and slid it onto her right wrist. "It's a charm bracelet, when I saw it, I couldn't help but think of you."

Yukari giggled and blushed, it was a beautiful charm bracelet, "Thanks a lot Tsukune."

Tsukune smiled at her thanks, "Okay then, Kurumu your next." Kurumu jumped up off the bench and crouched down in front of Tsukune, he pulled out a small box, and opened it. Inside was a locket, he took it out of the box and put it around her neck. She stood up strait, smile on her face, "Open it up."

She did as he said, and there was a picture of him and her, forehead to forehead, and in pink letters, 'I love you' was written on the left side of the opened locket, the picture on the right side. Kurumu couldn't help but blush at that, "Thank you Tsukune."

"Of course Kurumu. Okay then, Mizore here you go."

Kurumu sat down, Mizore didn't get up, she just held both of her hands out, because she could see whatever he was getting was delicate. He pulled out a glass sculpture of him and her dancing, and put it in her hands. "I had a store craft it, so you wouldn't forget today."

Mizore blushed and smiled at Tsukune, "I love it. Thank you."

Tsukune nodded his head, "Okay then, Moka, here's yours."

He then pulled out the very same skeleton key chain that she had spotted a few weeks back, the last time they were in the human world, he had remembered how cute she thought it was. He had overheard her and the other girls about it. Moka blushed, "Thank you so much. I can't believe you remembered how cute this thing was, and how much I liked it."

"Any memories with you girls will stay in my head forever, that's a promise."

Before anything else could be said, Gin and Mrs. Nekonome arrived and ushered the five into the bus. So as all of them were on their way back to school, Kokoa was right behind them. And she was furious, she had been chasing Tsukune around the mall all day, but when he was finally alone, in one place, she was stopped by Gin. He, knowing that Tsukune was shopping for her as well, why he didn't know, but he knew he couldn't let Kokoa see her gift. So he held her off until he was done buying the gifts he was gonna buy. So, here she was, once again on her bike, still no closer to getting Tsukune alone, so yeah, she was pissed off.

The bus arrived at the school, and Tsukune, the girls, Mrs. Nekonome and Gin de-boarded the bus and made their way to their rooms. But before Tsukune made his way back to his room, he stopped by the girls dorm, Ruby's present in hand, he slipped it through her door with a note attached. He hoped she liked it, he heard from the girls that she liked Manga, so he got her a big, collective Manga magazine. He was about to go to Moka's room, when he heard a bike come screeching to a halt outside, so he quickly checked it out. It was Kokoa, on her worn and torn bike, looking quite pissed off. She got off her bike, let it fall to the ground and stomped up to Tsukune.

But before she could say anything, he spoke first, "Hey Kokoa, I was about to come looking for you. I noticed how bad of condition you bike was in, so..."

He led her to the space between the boy's and girl's dorms, where he had parked the red bike, and showed it to her. "I hope you like it, I bought it to replace your old one."

Kokoa was speechless for a moment, at this time, all her anger drained away, "You bought this, for me?"

"Yeah of course. We're friends, I was at a mall, so it made sense to buy you a gift."

There was several moments of silence before Kokoa spoke, "Thank you, Tsukune."

"No problem. Now I gotta go, I've got another gift to deliver."

Kokoa just nodded her head, still totally caught off guard by the situation, and by the time she realized what he had said, it was too late. He was already at Moka's door, knocking. Moka opened the door and let him in, "What is it Tsukune?"

Tsukune bag in hand, spoke, "Well, can I talk to the other you for a bit?"

"Well, I guess, but is there something you need to tell her?"

"No, and it'll only take a minute."

"Well go ahead Tsukune."

He quickly pulled off her Rosary, and as her transformation completed itself, Inner Moka realized she was wearing Outer's pink pajamas. She felt incredibly stupid in them, but never the less, she ignored them and spoke, "What is it, Tsukune?"

Tsukune couldn't help but notice her tone was less, demanding than it usually is. "Well I got the other girls some gifts today, including Outer Moka, so I got you one too. I hope you like it."

Tsukune then pulled out a large, leather bound book, with ink black letters, the words 'The Ultimate Warrior' were written across it. Inner Moka took the book and read the cover, she then put the book down and looked at Tsukune with the look she has when she's fighting. "Listen Tsukune, the last person you need to be giving gifts to is me."

"Why would you say that?"

"Because, I told you last night, your becoming a Ghoul. And when you finally do become a Ghoul, I will have no other choice but to kill you."

"Wait, Kill me?"

"Yes, Ghouls are vile creatures, they became a forbidden creature long ago. No one has made a Ghoul in a long time, if they did, then their dead. And so are their Ghouls, so when you fully turn, you will die, by my hands. For I created the Ghoul, so I shall kill the Ghoul. Understand?"

Tsukune's eyes held a look beyond horrified, Moka could see this, he was actually scared of her again, while he should be, and what she say's is true, she is still not pleased by this. It took Tsukune a minute to snap out of it, "No you won't."

"What did you just say?"

"I said, no you won't. I know you more then you think I do, you once told me that the Outer Moka was a phantom, and that I was touching your hand, and that your feelings were hers. Which means, you love me. So I know you won't kill me."

Moka's face had an expression of pure sorrow and regret come over it, "Your wrong. I love you, which is why I will kill you, Tsukune. When one becomes a Ghoul, they lose every part of themselves they ever were, they become mindless, blood sucking, destruction craving, psychopaths. I won't let that happen to you."

Tsukune was speechless, he didn't know what to think of this situation, so he just said what was in his heart, "Moka, don't worry. I'll find a way to overcome this, I promise you. Then, we'll never have to fight."

Then before Moka could say anything else, Tsukune put her Rosary on her bed and left her room.
