Okay then, Here's episode 10/chapter 10, now please read, enjoy and review.
Three Men sat within a green Humvee, the one who was driving, looked to be in his early twenties. He had blonde, messy hair, that barely even went past his ears, light brown eyes, and pale skin. He wore a white, button up shirt, a pair of blue jeans, a brown belt, and brown and white sneakers. He had a slight smirk to his face, as he drove past several buildings, before totally exiting the city he was driving through. "Hey, Rokuro?"
At the sound of His name, the man driving, turned his head to the right a bit, so as to see the Man sitting in the passenger seat, the one who had spoken. That Man looked to be in his late teens, had green eyes, very tanned skin, and short, brown hair. He wore a short sleeved, brown shirt, green cargo pants, and white running shoes. Rokuro responded to that Man, "Yes, what is it Hikaru?"
"Where exactly are we going again?"
"You mean you've forgotten...again? Seriously? Your dumber than a sack of hammers, you know that? Of course you do. Listen, I don't feel like explaining anything, no matter how simple, to You, no more, never again. So ask Nade back there, or keep your mouth shut, because your starting to get on my nerves."
Rokuro then turned his head back to face the road, fully. While Hikaru scowled at him, still wanting to know, he looked to the back of the car, into the back seats, where Nade was lying down, looking up at the roof of the car, as if something about it was interesting. Nade looked to be in his late twenties, had slightly tanned skin, had short, jet black hair, and purple eyes. He wore a elbow length sleeved, white t-shirt, a pair of black jeans, and brown hiking boots. "Hey Nade, where we going again?"
At the question, Nade answered, without even turning his head, "We're going to Your old school. Remember how you said there were plenty of Students there that hate Humans? Well, Rokuro is the recruiter, and it is a school full of Monsters that hate Humans. It's only natural for Him to be going there, we're along for the ride as backup, in case things go bad."
"Oh yeah, Yokai Academy, that was a good School. They had some really tasty food, and you could really feel the hate for the Humans, if you payed close enough attention."
Rokuro scoffed at that, "Your one to talk Hikaru, you have the attention span of a fucking toddler."
"Hey!"
Nade quickly agreed, "Rokuro's right, you have the attention span of a child."
"I do not!"
"Okay then, name one thing you've ever payed attention to, for more than five minutes?"
"Uhhh...?"
"Exactly."
Hikaru gritted his teeth in anger, "You Guys are assholes!"
Rokuro and Nade both agreed simultaneously, "Yes we are!"
All three of them couldn't help but burst into laughter after that.
Tsukune collapsed to his knees, panting, he had tried to summon his monster energy twice more, but he had only been able to pull out twenty percent each time. And He wasn't able to inject it into his blood stream, he had only bulked up, each time. But He did manage to hold the form, longer each time, on his third try, he had held the form for a whole minute before he returned to his normal size. Vladimir took several steps forward, until he was only about four feet from Tsukune. Tsukune looked up at Vladimir, and got back to his feet, slowly, Vladimir just nodded his head in return. "Okay then, we're just about done for the day. We don't have too long, we've only got two weeks before summer break, so we're going to have to pack in your training, every day, understand?"
Tsukune just nodded his head. "Your going to have to skip Newspaper club for the rest of the year, because you also have to study for finals. So then, you'll have a lot on your plate. You'd better be up for it."
Tsukune nodded his head once more, "I am."
"Okay then. It's almost past curfew, get back to your dorm, and have a good nights sleep, Boy. Your going to need it."
"Yeah, got it."
At this, the five of six, of Tsukune's Girls, quickly scrambled to get away from the scene, so as to not be seen by Tsukune. They managed successfully, while Tsukune made his way back to his room.
Ruby was once again, kneeling before the School Director, as she spoke, "Sir, when are the new students arriving?"
There was nothing but silence for several moments, but finally the School Director's voice broke through, "Next Semester, of course."
"But, Sir, why did you have me make preparations so early then?"
"There is no cause for concern, I just wanted the preparations done early. Now leave, return to your room."
"Yes Sir."
Ruby exited the School Director's office, and soon exited the school building. As she began walking back to the Girls dorm, she couldn't help but spot Tsukune entering the Boys dorm. She hadn't been able to spend anytime with him today, she really wanted to, that's when she remembered what Yukari had told her, and the rest of the Girls, 'Tsukune said, that if any of us, ever get lonely at night, we can go and crawl in bed with him.'
She had said more after that, but that's all Ruby cared about, the rest of the Girls as well. Remembering this, Ruby couldn't help but smile, as she slowly, and stealthily, made her way to the Boys dorm. Ruby made her way through the entrance, up stairs, and to Tsukune's door. She slowly, and quietly opened it, and shut it behind her. Ruby walked over to Tsukune's bed, as she did, he could hear her footsteps, so he quickly sat up. As he turned to Ruby, he was slightly shocked to see her. "Ruby?"
"Master, Yukari told us that if we ever got lonely, that we could go to sleep with you, you had offered that, right?"
Tsukune slowly nodded his head, "Yeah, I did. And, uh, have I ever told you how uncomfortable it is for me, when you call me master?"
She nodded her head, "Yeah, just a habit, I guess. But, you'll always be my Master, no matter what I call you."
Tsukune couldn't help but let a light blush cross his cheeks, but he really didn't know how to respond to that. So He just said what came to mind, "Well then, uh, that's really an honor, Ruby. Uh, this is really awkward."
It was, here Ruby was, standing in Tsukune's room, when he wasn't even half decent, he only had boxers on, after all. Ruby couldn't help but smile at that, "It doesn't have to be."
Ruby then began to undress, until she was only in, purple panties, and a purple bra. Tsukune's blush was a lot stronger now, as she began walking closer to him. He just sat there, as She stopped, only a mere inch from his bed. "It is alright if I sleep in here, right, Tsukune?"
Tsukune couldn't find any words, so he just nodded his head, and scooted over, so she could climb in. She, of course, didn't hesitate, and climbed under the covers, and into bed, with Him. As the two got comfortable, they both made eye contact, Ruby was blushing, but she was also keeping her cool, Tsukune on the other hand, was blushing madly, and was barely keeping calm at all. Tsukune smiled sheepishly, as Ruby draped her left arm over him, she gave a sheepish smile in return. But then, She leaned in, and their lips made contact, they let the kiss last for several long moments, before Ruby finally pulled away.
"I love you, Tsukune."
"I..I love you too, Ruby."
Thirteen Days until Summer Break...
Tsukune's eyes slowly opened, he just stared up at the ceiling for several moments, until he finally realized, their was an arm over his chest, and it wasn't his own. He turned his head, to see Ruby, in her underwear, her arm over him, still asleep. Tsukune blushed as he saw her, and then he remember everything from last night, they hadn't done anything, but this was still something, quite intimate. He was glad she hadn't tried to start anything, he wasn't sure if he could have said no.
About nine hours later, after the bus had come and gone, Tsukune had met up with Vladimir once more, and began training. And all of His Girls were there, watching him, as they hid in a tree, sitting upon large tree branches. As they watched Tsukune, Ruby sparked a conversation, "I went ahead and took Tsukune up on his offer last night."
All of the other five Girls quickly looked at Ruby with curiosity, and slight jealousy, filling their eyes, Moka was the one to ask, "What do you mean?"
"Remember, Yukari told us that Tsukune said if we ever got lonely, that we could go and crawl in bed with him. So, last night, I did. He looked really good with no shirt, he's starting to develop some nice muscles, and their sure to fill out a lot over the summer, if he keeps training so hard."
The rest of the Girls gazes no longer held curiosity, they were pure jealousy, and then, Ruby spoke once more, "So, who gets to go to Tsukune's room tonight?"
All of the Girls, except for Ruby of course, spoke hurriedly, "ME!"
They were quiet enough to not be heard, but that wasn't really the problem. Unfortunately for the rest of the girls, Kurumu had just been a nanosecond quicker, "Yahoo-hoo! I get to sleep in Tsukune's room tonight!"
Yukari, Mizore, Kokoa, and Moka, all sighed in frustration, while Ruby was glad she had beat the rest to it. That way she didn't have to worry about being last.
As they drove on the highway, Nade was at the wheel, he had taken the wheel just a few hours ago, from Rokuro, who was now asleep in the back. Hikaru was in the passenger seat, he was asleep as well, for he would be taking the next shift, he needed a bit of rest for it.
Nade kept his eyes solely on the road, but his thoughts ran through his head like crazy. "So, Yokai Academy huh? Haven't been there, in forever. Never got to graduate, well neither did Hikaru, or Rokuro either, although he dropped out, he didn't care about finishing. I wonder, is Kuyo still there? I heard he was defeated, by one of the Shuzen Daughters. Makes sense, He wouldn't stand a chance against the two Eldest, and the two Youngest, have to be insanely strong as well. Also heard about a crazy Monster that barged into one of Issa Shuzen's castles, battled him, and actually survived. I gotta meet that Guy for sure, he has to be of excellent strength. I wonder if he'll be able to be persuaded to join us...or not. I guess I'll find out, when we get there."
Gin sighed out of sheer boredom, as he sat at the head chair, in the empty Newspaper Club room. "This is the second time they've all missed a meeting, they do know that we have two more issues of the Paper to put out before Summer Break, don't they?"
Gin shook his head, knowing no one was going to answer him, since he was the only one in the room. That's when he felt a Monster's energy spike, he couldn't help but think, "There it is again. I've felt that same energy three times yesterday, and it's acting up again today. It's strange, the energy signal sends a chill down my spine, there's a twinge of wickedness in the signal, that's far greater than even Kuyo's. And it still seems so familiar, almost like I've felt it somewhere before yesterday..."
That's when it all clicked, he recognized the signal, and knew who it was. Gin stood abruptly, knocking over the chair he was sitting in, as he looked out the window, out at the forest, as if he could see past it. "It's Tsukune! His Ghoul powers must be acting up again!"
Gin quickly moved to the window, slid it open, climbed out, and dropped to the ground. He turned towards the forest, and began sprinting towards it as fast as he could in his Human form, hoping to get through it and to the bus stop before anything bad could go down.
Tsukune's Girls could hear someone coming, so they quickly jumped down from the tree they sat upon, and blocked the path the person was coming from, so they couldn't get to Tsukune.
Tsukune shrunk back to his normal size once more, breathing raggedly, but only for a moment. He had managed to hold the bulky football player looking form, for about three minutes that time. So it was slow progress, but it was progress nonetheless. "That was good, but you've been working on your strength a lot, why don't you try bolstering your senses this time?"
Tsukune nodded his head, as he once again, began trying to summon his monster energy. Soon he pulled about twenty percent out, same as the last few tries, but instead of his strength, he put the percentage of monster enrgy, into his hearing. It was only one sense, not all of his senses, but he figured it would be enough. Once he had bolstered his hearing, it took several seconds before he began hearing things he wouldn't have been able to hear, from his current position. He could hear several people climbing the tree, upon the cliff, that overlooked the bus stop.
Once all the Girls were comfortably perched upon the tree, closest to the edge of the cliff, Gin spoke, for he was standing upon a branch, in that tree as well, "So, your saying Tsukune's training to control his Ghoul powers, and it's actually going well?"
Kurumu was the one to answer that, "Well of course, it's Tsukune after all. Once he gets the hang of something, he can really master it."
Gin gave a cocky smirk, as he crushed that statement, even if it was only slightly, "Except for Math, you mean. You know, since he barely passed the last Math test."
Kurumu didn't give it a second thought, she just waved him off, as she replied, "Yeah, yeah, that doesn't matter. Math isn't all that important anyway."
"Is that how you really feel, or are you just being biased because your even worse at math than Tsukune is?"
That remark got Kurumu a little riled up, but she kept her calm, as she replied to Gin, "Of course not, math is just useless is all. Unless someone plans on being a boring accountant, you don't even need more math than middle school teaches you."
Gin was about to use a comeback, but then he realized, that for once, Kurumu actually said something that made sense, so he kept his mouth shut.
Tsukune couldn't help but let a genuine, non self conscious smile cross his face, he had heard every word Gin and Kurumu had said, although it was if they had been whispering. Because even though he had used twenty percent of his Monster energy to bolster his hearing, that only went so far, so he was lucky they had chosen the tree, closest to the edge of the cliff, that overlooked the bus stop. Otherwise He wouldn't have been able to hear them at all.
Vladimir smirked as he figured that Tsukune could now hear his Harem up on the cliff, Vladimir had heard everything they had said, since they arrived earlier. But as Tsukune gave a smile, that Vladimir had never seen Tsukune use, Vladimir couldn't help but frown, as a memory of his came to mind.
A prepubescent Girl held His hand, as she led him forward, through the forest. He put up no resistance, but eventually the Man spoke, "Where are we going, young one?"
She turned her head to look at the stranger, a smile on her pale face, as she answered, "To My House, Momma will take care of you, I know she will. She's always liked to help people in need."
The Stranger took in the appearance of the young Girl, as she said this, and then turned back to look where she was going. She had light blue eyes, dark brown hair, and pale, white skin. She stood at about four foot eight, a whole twenty eight inches shorter than the Man she was leading through the forest, who stood at seven feet tall.
"Vladimir? Hey, Vladimir?"
At the sound of his name, Vladimir shook himself from his memory, and looked toward the person who was calling him, it was Tsukune. "Vladimir, are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine. Now, let's get back to work."
Tsukune was hesitant for a moment, wondering what had been wrong with Vladimir several moments ago, but shook it off, "Right."
It was the end of the day, and Tsukune had just laid down, when he heard something at his window. He stood up, walked over to His window, and opened it, to see Kurumu smiling at him, her wings out, so she was hovering in the air. And Her smile just widened as she saw Tsukune was in nothing but his boxers, "Hey Tsukune, can I come in?"
Tsukune was now blushing, "Uh, yeah, sure, if you want to."
He moved back, and She flew in, he closed the window behind her, as her wings, receded into her back. He turned around to see Her standing there, a smile still on her face, and a small glint of lust in her eyes. Tsukune couldn't help but let is blush deepen a bit, and gulp in nervousness, if She made a move, he didn't know if he could stop her, if he should top her, or even if he would want to stop her. Kurumu spoke once more, a small blush adorning on her face, "You should have told me that I could come in if I was lonely, I would have been visiting you...very often."
Tsukune's blush deepened just a bit more at that statement, He quickly turned around, and made his way over to his bed, and began fluffing the pillows. "Well, l..let me g..get the bed c...comfortable."
When Tsukune turned around, he had to grab his nose, and hold it shut, to keep from having a nose bleed, as he saw Kurumu, clad only in her white panties, and a white bra. If He had seen Her undressing, he might have been able to keep a nose bleed from happening, it worked with Ruby after all. Tsukune's blush was a lot darker now, as was Kurumu's. She slowly strolled over to Him, as he slowly began to back up, until soon, he fell back onto the bed, with Kurumu only two feet away from him. He quickly tried to get the situation away from any kind of sexual position, so he quickly moved over, and straightened up, so she could climb in bed with him, side to side, like he was with Ruby.
Kurumu was beyond nervous, she was frantic, she just didn't show it. And She was very disappointed, as Tsukune made a quick maneuver to keep things from becoming sexual. It seemed as if He wasn't ready, so She decided to try something like that, another day, when that day will be, she didn't know. She climbed under the covers, and into bed with Him, a deep blush on both of their faces. They got comfortable, and soon, made eye contact, which just made both of their blushes deepen, but Tsukune's was still deeper, they both noticed this.
Kurumu scooted a bit closer to Tsukune, seeing this, Tsukune did the same, scooting a bit closer to Kurumu. She laid her arm over Him, a she slowly leaned in for a kiss, as Tsukune was going to lean in, he remember something Moka had said during his first year here, 'If you kiss Him Kurumu, he'll become your slave!'
Moka had tried to prevent that, this had Tsukune hesitating, and Kurumu noticed. She couldn't help but let tears begin welling up at Tsukune's coming rejection, when Tsukune saw this, he felt his heart begin to break at the sight. He loved Kurumu, he couldn't stand to see her in pain. And that's when his clouded mind, unclouded itself, and reminded Tsukune, of what Vladimir had said, earlier that day.
Tsukune had just finished up for the day, the Girls, and Gin had already left for their rooms, when Vladimir came up to Tsukune. "Tsukune, I need to speak to you about something."
"Huh, about what?"
"There's something you need to know about Kurumu, about Succubi in general, you know they choose a destined mate, and that's the one they give their heart to, the one they trust with their races continuation. But, you need to be careful, because Kurumu has chosen you to be her destined mate. And if a Succubi's destined mate rejects her, she'll die."
Tsukune's eyes widened, and his mouth slightly gaped, "You mean that if...I..."
Vladimir nodded his head, "If you reject Kurumu, she will die."
Tsukune knew he had to risk it, he couldn't let Kurumu die because he was selfish, so, before she could pull away, he leaned forward and captured her lips with his. The kiss lasted a handful of seconds, and began gaining intensity halfway through, as Kurumu began to kiss back. Neither Tsukune, or Kurumu realized, Tsukune's Holy Lock began to glow. Soon they both pulled away, their faces flushed, and smiles on their faces as well. The Holy Lock had stopped glowing as well. It took a second to sink in, but Tsukune realized he didn't feel any different than he did before. Kurumu soon realized it too, "I love you Tsukune."
"I love you too, Kurumu."
Kurumu wiped her tears away, and before Tsukune knew it, she was kissing him again, not that he had anything to complain about, considering her tongue was begging for entrance, that he was glad to permit.
Twelve Days until Summer Break...
Tsukune's eyes slowly opened, and he instantly recognized the very small weight of an arm being draped over him, which wasn't his own. He turned his head to look at Kurumu, who was actually awake, a mischievous smile on her face. Tsukune couldn't help but blush, how they hadn't done anything last night, he had no idea. But honestly, He wouldn't have minded if it had gone farther. Kurumu and Tsukune both got up, Tsukune offer to let Kurumu go ahead and use the shower first. She lightly blushed, as she gave a mischievous smirk once more, while she spoke, "You know, you can come and watch, if you want to, I won't mind."
She then grabbed her school uniform and entered the bathroom, while Tsukune gaped at where she was standing. He couldn't believe what she had just said. And with all the shock, unfortunately, Tsukune never actually got to partake of Kurumu's offer.
Hikaru was now the one at the wheel of the green Humvee, he and Nade had just switched out about three hours ago. And He was bored out of his mind, he didn't like driving, at least not for extended periods of time. He was impatient, he would admit it, but who isn't, is what he would say. As He drove through another city, he couldn't help but let his eyes wander, there was nothing to do, so maybe he could look for something interesting, not to mention somewhere to eat, he was starving. Soon enough, to His relief, they came upon an all you can eat Sushi Bar. So He abruptly put his foot to the brake, forcing the green Humvee to come to a screeching halt, waking Nade and Rokuro in the process.
As they both looked around, bewildered, Hikaru, smiled and stepped out of the green Humvee and rushed inside the Sushi Bar. It took a moment for Nade and Rokuro to realize everything that happened, not to mention all the people staring at them, which made them slightly agitated. They both scowled, and quickly headed in after Hikaru, fully intent on giving him a good beating for his ever annoying stupidity.
Once Yokai Academy's final bell rang, Tsukune rushed to the bus stop, the Girls, and Gin, coming after him. Tsukune was down at the bus stop, about to begin training, while the Girls took their places upon a tree upon the cliff over looking the bus stop, Gin was with them as well. He, wanting to avoid their conversation, was in another tree, and unlike them, opted to stand and watch.
Kokoa, Moka, Yukari, and Mizore all looked upon Kurumu with jealousy, they were glad Tsukune didn't turn into her slave, but were quite upset, that she was the first one to french kiss with Tsukune. Mizore hadn't even gotten a kiss yet, she was close to strangling Kurumu, literally. And to make matters worse, Yukari was the one who got to sleep in Tsukune's room tonight. But they managed to put their squabbles aside, for now, as Tsukune began training once more.
Vladimir had order Tsukune to begin, so he had, he quickly pulled out twenty percent of his Monster energy, which was slowly becoming easier to do, and bulked up to the same size he's been becoming since he started training. "Okay, now begin moving around in that form, see if you can handle the stress."
Tsukune nodded his head, and took a step forward, then another, then another. He was able to take thirty steps forward, before letting the form go. "Okay then, that's what we'll focus on today, try it again."
"Got it."
Hikaru lie in the back of the green Humvee, covered in bruises, Nade in the passenger seat, and Rokuro at the wheel once more. They had stormed in, and beaten Hikaru to pulp during his meal, right in the middle of the restaurant, causing people to stare at them. After that, they dragged him back to the car, threw him in, and that was several hours ago, but Nade and Rokuro were still pissed. They weren't allowed to make pit stops, so when they absolutely had to, they rushed, after all, they didn't want to be on the first division leader's bad side. And Hikaru had cost them, almost twenty minutes of time.
Rokuro couldn't take it anymore, he was bored out of his mind, and he had a lot of pent up aggression to get out. They were driving through another city entirely at this point, they stopped a stop sign, waiting for several people to cross the road. Rokuro just found how to relieve some of that anger, and have fun at the same time. Rokuro let a smile cross his face, as he made the engine roar, the people walking across the street just ignored him. Nade, recognizing the look on Rokuro's face, quickly spoke, "Rokuro, what are you thinking?"
Nade then looked toward the people, slowly crossing the road, and then turned back to Rokuro, "No."
"Yes."
"No."
"Oh, hell yeah."
Rokuro leaned forward, and put the petal to the metal, shooting off, forward, the people screamed, and jumped to get out of the way. But only a few made it, the green Humvee slammed into four of them, killing them upon impact, as it ran over them, like road kill, which now, they were. Rokuro couldn't help but burst into laughter, "Ha ha ha ha ha ha! That was fucking awesome! Finally, I've got something to pass the time!"
Nade was scowling at this point, "What the hell Man? What happened to keeping a low profile? What if word spreads, and gets back to one of the division leaders?"
"Relax, no one's gonna find out."
"Yeah, we all better hope so, otherwise, we'll all be headless after we return."
Hikaru, having heard all of that, couldn't help but gulp in nervousness, "You mean, one of them will cut off our heads?"
"Yeah, and if we get either the first, the second, or the third division leader, we'll lose our heads, both of them."
Hikaru quickly lied face down, one hand holding his head protectively, and his other hand, holding his crotch protectively. His voice cracking in fear, "No! I don't want to lose either of my heads!"
While the threat was real, Nade couldn't help but stifle a laugh, at Hikaru's ridiculousness.
"Okay, I think you've almost master that form, let's go ahead and take it up a notch. See if you can bring out more Monster energy, than last time."
Tsukune nodded his head, and began focusing, he reached deep, and after several seconds, he pulled out a portion of his monster energy. Tsukune's Holy Lock began glowing, the crosses turning red, while doing so. Tsukune soon bulked up, but he was bigger than before, he stood at seven feet, matching Vladimir in height, and his muscles were as big as the guys who competed in those strong man competitions, so he was quite ripped. Vladimir could feel it, Tsukune had pulled out fourty percent of his full power that time, and by the look on Tsukune's face, the form was an uncomfortable one. Although, uncomfortable wasn't the word, more like agonizingly painful.
Tsukune gritted his teeth, trying to hold onto the form, even though it was causing him immense pain. "Don't let go Tsukune, keep that form. Now, take a step forward."
Tsukune gritted his teeth even harder, as the pain of moving set in, as he took a step forward. He took another, then another, but three steps was it. He couldn't hold onto it any longer, and soon, he shrunk back down to his normal size, and he couldn't help but collapse to his knees, as he began to pant. That form had hurt, immensely, and it had taken a lot out of Tsukune.
The day had winded down, and everyone was heading back to their rooms, it was almost past curfew. But as Tsukune had just gotten ready for bed, he turned around, at the noise of someone opening his door, only to see Yukari, a blush on her face. She closed the door behind her, and took several steps forward. "Um, Tsukune, I wanted to, sleep in here with you tonight, is that okay?"
Tsukune, a blush on his face, managed to smile, "Yeah, I said it was, didn't I? So, come on."
Tsukune turned to the bed, fluffed the pillows, and then turned around. Yukari had undressed. And He was sure as hell shocked to see Yukari wearing a small shirt, that barely covered her belly button, and a pair of white panties, with a bear on the back of them. Tsukune's blush became deep, just as Yukari's was, "Yukari, that's n...not a...appropriate, I uh..."
Tsukune didn't know what to say, this was considered pedophilia, and to make matters worse, he actually thought about Yukari in a sexual way. This was not good at all. But the look on Yukari's face, as she blushed deeply, a hopeful smile on her face, put Tsukune's worries to rest, at least for now. Tsukune sighed, and led Her to the bed. He climbed in, and She followed suit. The two made eye contact, and their blushes deepened, Yukari then lent in, but Tsukune pulled away a bit. "Yukari listen we..I mean, you know we can't...um, how do I explain this?"
Yukari almost frowned, but she knew Tsukune wasn't trying to be mean. "Tsukune, I know what your trying to say. People will look down at us for this relationship, you could get in huge trouble, and it isn't exactly considered normal. I'm not foolish Tsukune, but there are also people who will look down upon you because your in a relationship with a monster. And Vice Versa, I know. But, if you love me, and I love you, then there's nothing else that matters, right?"
Tsukune was hesitant for a moment, but he couldn't help agree, she was right, "Yeah, your right."
Yukari couldn't help but let a huge smile cross her face. She then leaned in, and Tsukune didn't lean back, and their lips made contact. The kiss lasted several seconds, before the two pulled away, a deeper blush on both of their faces. And before Tsukune knew it, Yukari was kissing him again, her tongue begging for access, and he couldn't believe it himself, but he let her in, as they began to french kiss.
Eleven Days until Summer Break...
Tsukune's eyes slowly opened, he couldn't help but yawn, it took a sec, but he realized there was weight on his body, he looked down upon himself, and Yukari was sleeping on his chest. She looked so peaceful, he couldn't help but smile. She had put Tsukune's worries about their relationship to rest, last night. And He was thankful nothing happened, he was surprised it went as far as it did. He didn't even think Yukari knew what french kiss meant, she had proven him wrong.
That's when the guilt hit Him like a sack of bricks, he couldn't help but think out loud, "I can't believe this. I can't tell any of the Girls no, but I can't choose one of them. Ugh, I'm the worst. What are the Girls going to say? They'll think I'm trying to play them, rgh, what am I supposed to do? I'm in love with all of them, how do I choose just one? I don't deserve any of them, with the way I'm acting! Goddamn it!"
Little did Tsukune know, Yukari had heard every word he had spoken.
Besides Hikaru's beating, and Rokuro's one incident of road rage, the drive had been uneventful. But they weren't even halfway there, they were still a five days drive from Yokai Academy, much to Hikaru's, Rokuro's, and even Nade's ever increasing frustration.
Later that day, all of Tsukune's Girls sat in their usual tree, Gin two trees away, so they could speak privately. As all the Girls stared at her, anxiously waiting to hear what happened, Yukari decided now was the best time to bring up Tsukune's thoughts, "Um, Guys, there's something you should know, it's about who Tsukune's going to pick..."
All of the Girls seemed crestfallen at that statement, tears welling up in all of their eyes, Kurumu was the one to speak, "He chose you? H...how could He choose you?"
Yukari could see the pain in Kurumu's eyes, so she didn't snap back, "No, this morning, He thought I was asleep, and began thinking out loud, speaking his thoughts. He was struggling, becoming agitated, because he can't choose one of us. Because He loves all of us, and he meant it, in every way. I just thought, you all might want to know that. Because, it seems to be eating at Tsukune. I thought something had been stressing him out lately, I thought it was just Him stressing over his training, but I think that's the cause of his stress."
All of Tsukune's Girls were taken back by hearing this, Yukari let it sink in for several moments, before she stated her opinion, "It's tearing Him up to choose between one of Us, so maybe we shouldn't make him have to choose."
All of the Girls first reaction to that would have been a big, fat NO, but they held it back, considering Yukari's words. None of them wanted to share Tsukune, but this sounded serious. Tsukune had dealt with a lot, but they noticed something had been eating at him, for a while now, and now they knew what it was. Kokoa, Moka, Mizore, and Kurumu were all against it, but this sounded serious, so they didn't know anymore. Ruby decided then, her standing on it. She was the next to speak, "Okay then, if it means He can be happy, I guess I could share my Master."
Yukari nodded her head, agreeing with Ruby, they then turned to the other four Girls, awaiting their opinions. Mizore was silent, she just stared off into space, it's obvious she wasn't going to give an answer anytime soon. Kurumu was a little reluctant, but she eventually spoke, "I...I love Tsukune too much, if he wants more than one of us, then I can handle that."
Kurumu was being sincere, Yukari could just tell. Kokoa looked hurt, but she soon put on a face of deep thinking, she turned away from the others, making it obvious, that she also wasn't going to be giving an answer anytime soon. Then Moka, she looked like she was ready to cry still, but she didn't give an answer, obviously meaning she wasn't sure how to answer. So, they would have to wait for her answer as well.
Tsukune was doing horribly today, all day long, he had been thinking about the Girls, and how he was going to choose just one. He was beyond frustrated, and a bit snippy. He called his training off early that day, because he couldn't summon much monster energy. The Girls tried to follow Him, but he just seemed to disappear. And when Moka saw, from her room, Tsukune entering his room, she gathered all the girls, and they all snuck into Tsukune's room, while he was in the bathroom. They barely managed to hide, as Tsukune exited, a grim look on his face. They were worried about Him, so they would watch him for a bit.
But they weren't expecting what came next.
Tsukune sat on his bed, and just stared off into space for several minutes, but he soon became frustrated, and it showed, as he thought aloud, "How the hell am I supposed to choose between all seven of the Girls? How do I choose one, and break the others hearts? How could I do that? I can't do that! But leading them on isn't much better! How am I supposed to fix this? If I don't choose one, I'll lose them all! But, I don't think I can live without any of them. I can't just date them all, that's one of the most selfish things I can think of."
Tsukune couldn't help it, he let tears begin to fall, "What do I do Goddamn it!"
Tsukune's Holy Lock began to glow, as he brought back his right arm, and shot it forward, slamming his right fist through the wall. As He pulled his hand out of the wall, it seemed Tsukune didn't even care. He sure as hell hadn't tried to do that, but he honestly didn't care. Several seconds later, someone was banging on his door, Tsukune, still pissed, opened it. "Look what you did to my wall Man!"
Tsukune's fangs quickly shot out, and his eyes became red, "I don't give a fuck! Now get out!"
Tsukune successfully scared the guy off with that, he then slammed his door shut, as his fangs disappeared, and his eyes went back to normal. He sat upon his bed once more, as he let out a defeated and depressed sigh, "I...I just don't know what to do."
The situation hurt a lot more than one might think. Tsukune didn't even bother to get undressed, he lied down, and soon fell asleep, in his clothes.
The Girls snuck out after that, and all met in Moka's room. Mizore was quick to agree, "I can't take this. I've never seen Tsukune like that, if it means he's happy, and no longer hurting, then I'll share him."
Kurumu, Ruby, and Yukari nodded their heads, agreeing with Mizore, frankly, they were all terrified for Tsukune. They had never seen Tsukune like that, ever. Kokoa and Moka felt the same way. Kokoa really, really didn't want to share Tsukune, but if it was going to tear him up, then she could deal. She would not let Him destroy himself, for something that wasn't his fault. So, Kokoa was the next to speak, "Okay, but I'm only going to do this, because Tsukune needs it. I won't let Him tear himself apart, because of something that's out of his control, I'm in."
Yukari, Ruby, Mizore, and Kurumu all nodded their heads, agreeing with Kokoa. They all then turned to look at Moka, she didn't know what to do. But, She wouldn't let Tsukune suffer, so she agreed, "Okay, if it'll stop Tsukune from being so hard on himself, so he can be happy, I'll do it, I'll share him."
Yukari and the other Girls just nodded their head, but Yukari then spoke, "Okay, now we've just got to get the other Moka to agree."
All of the other Girls just stared at Yukari, she then explained her reasoning, "You heard Tsukune, he said he couldn't live without all seven of us. Inner Moka makes seven."
All eyes quickly went to the Rosary, as it began to glow, "Now why on this god forsaken planet, would I want Tsukune to be my mate for? Let alone share Him, with all of you? Not going to happen."
Kokoa quickly stepped closer to Moka, in turn, closer to the Rosary, as she began speaking, "This is serious big Sis! Now is not the time to pretend your not in love with Tsukune! He's hurting, and he needs all of us. You once told me, that you would do anything so Tsukune could be happy, even let this Moka take over your life! Hell, you cried in front of Tsukune, he's the only person besides me you've ever cried in front of. So now is not the time for any bullshit! We need your real answer, now!"
Everyone was slightly taken back by all of this information, in fact, there was nothing but silence in Moka's room, for almost a whole minute. But finally, Inner Moka spoke, "Okay then, for Tsukune, I'll do this, Outer and I, will share Tsukune with all of you."
The Rosary then ceased glowing, leaving all the Girls in the room, quite shocked, except for Moka and Kokoa that is.
