Hey there Guys, the updates a little late because...I'm gonna be honest with you guys, this time there was nothing preventing me from updating. I just got caught up writing for another one of my stories, sorry. I sure hope you Guys can forgive me. Okay before we get on with this episode/chapter, I have to mention the anonymous reviewer who went by MAS, who was able to figure out where I got the name Kari, and where I got Kakariko Village from. If anyone else knows, then tell me in a PM or a review. I'd like to know who all got the reference. It seems I'm rambling again, well I warned you guys about that, hope you don't mind though. Also before we get to this chapter, beware it is quite dark, just like the last one. And not everybody is going to be happy about what happens in this chapter, but I believe this needed to happen. This is also a very graphic fighting chapter. So please, please, just trust my judgement. But also, woo hoo! This is my longest chapter yet!

Alright then here's episode 12/chapter 12, now please read, enjoy and review.

Nine Days until Summer Break...

Tsukune woke up and was soon in the shower, he couldn't help but let what transpired yesterday nudge its way into his head. After Vladimir had finished telling Tsukune, The Girls, and Gin about what haunted him, it wasn't pretty. No one could help themselves, no one could hold their tears in. Needless to say, training was called off for the rest of the day. Tsukune banished these thoughts from his mind, especially the thoughts about what would happen if the Girls were in a similar situation. It sent a chill down Tsukune's spine just thinking about it. At the moment Tsukune had too many bad things to think about, and not enough good ones.

Soon enough Tsukune was out, getting dressed, and heading out the door for school.

Nade was lying down in the back seat once more, Hikaru was at the wheel, and thankfully they were still a ways away from any city. They still had three more days before they would reach Yokai Academy. Nade still felt uneasy about it all, but he kept to himself about it.

The day went on normally, including training. Just like last night though, no one tried to sneak into Tsukune's room.

Eight Days until Summer Break...

The day went on as usual, almost exactly like the day before, which was odd at Yokai Academy. Except Tsukune got a little farther in his training.

Rokuro was now at the wheel, and they had just exited a city, onto more country land. Nade and Hikaru were both asleep. Rokuro was agitated, no he was down right pissed. He was ready for some action, some fun, some...anything, just anything that's not driving. He was honestly close to snapping. And they still had two more days to go.

Seven Days until Summer Break...

As Tsukune's eyes slowly began opening, he couldn't help but yawn. He needed to get up, take a shower, brush his teeth, get dressed and go to school. But He just wasn't up to it, something was weighing heavily on his body and mind. This dilemma that weighed so heavily on Tsukune, is the same problem that formed and reared it's ugly head during his very first year here at Yokai Academy. And as time went on, His dilemma just grew larger and weighed heavier upon him. And now it was at full mast, Tsukune had to choose the Girl he was hopefully going to spend the rest of his life with. The thing that made it so difficult, was the fact that he had seven different Girls to choose from, and he loved all of them

Tsukune could feel a ridiculously strong migraine coming on from just thinking about it, and the fact was that there was no one at fault but himself.

Nade was once again at the wheel, thankfully they would be at Yokai Academy sometime tomorrow. Hikaru had already went off twice, but he was stupid, it was easy to knock him out and calm him down. Rokuro on the other hand, hadn't lost it yet, how Nade did not know. He just hoped he could keep it up, they were almost there. But he still couldn't help from feeling nervous, he wasn't sure what was going to happen. But now he was almost certain, that whatever was going to happen, was going to happen at Yokai Academy and it unnerved him.

Tsukune was not having a good day, not at all. Not only was his head full of thoughts about having to choose between one of the Girls, but shit just kept happening to him, all of it random, and all of it irritating. First was the fact that there wasn't any hot water for a shower, not that big of a deal. But halfway through his shower, somehow the cold water ran out as well, which left him wet and soapy. He had no choice but to dry off, because the water never came back on. Which left his skin itchy and irritated from having to rub soap off with a towel, definitely aggravating. Second he found that he was out of food to make himself for breakfast, and by the time he reached school, it was too late to have breakfast there, which left him hungry. Then during class, they gave the first final, the Geography final. Which irked Tsukune beyond belief, for he had been studying for Math, with what little free time he had. He wasn't half bad at Geography, but the fact was he hadn't studied for geography, he had studied for Math. Which meant he could fail, and he found out right before lunch that he had. Which meant he would have to take a make up test the next day. The truth was that by the time lunch rolled around, Tsukune's day was totally fucked.

Tsukune sat at his usual lunch table with all of his Girls with him, with the exception of Ruby, she was busy. And they had all taken notice of his particularly sour mood. Tsukune of course didn't know they had taken notice, and brushed them off every time they asked about it, always telling them it was nothing. It definitely was not nothing though, that was easy to tell. Tsukune hadn't smiled once throughout the whole day, that was a sign that something was wrong for sure. Without Tsukune knowing it, the Girls stole glances at him, so as to watch him carefully. They noticed that every once in a while he would start a small itching fit, but it ended soon after it began. And they had noticed Tsukune was finished with his meal before any of them were even halfway done with theirs. His behavior was strange to say the last. They had all noticed that sometimes he would get this far away look in his eyes, they knew what that was, that meant he was lost in thought, totally unaware of what was happening around him.

All of the Girls were pretty sure they knew what he was thinking about, and this made them glad that today was the day that they revealed that they would share him, so he could have all of them and he wouldn't have to choose.

While the Girls were right, what they didn't know was that Tsukune was increasingly becoming frustrated. He was still hungry after he had eaten, he still felt as if he was starving. Plus he was thirsty as hell, and even though he had downed his drink, it hadn't helped. Tsukune knew why he felt like this though, it's far too similar to what he felt back at his house. The uncontrollable fury was missing, and so were the physical changes, but this hunger, this thirst, he knew it was the Ghoul inside acting up. It scared him, but it also made him angry, the Holy Lock was supposed keep the Ghoul locked up, he wasn't supposed to feel like this. Because of this, he tried not to look at the Girls too much, because when he did, his mouth watered, he wanted their blood. He almost needed it, it was insane. Tsukune's thoughts were interrupted when the crosses on his Holy Lock began to glow red. As to hide this from the Girls, he let his right arm stay at his side, below the table.

Unfortunately the day hadn't become any better for Tsukune by the time school was over for the day. He wanted to take his mind off of choosing one of the Girls, so when the bell rang, he bolted out of the class room, out of school altogether and to the bus stop, hoping training would help him clear his mind. Besides being taken by surprise their was nothing to stop the Girls from chasing after Tsukune, that is until Gin managed to force them into the Newspaper Club room, all the while stating that they had to to begin working on the final issue.

Tsukune wasn't sure whether the Girls had followed him to the bus stop or not, but he pushed that aside, so that he could train, and hopefully clear his head. Vladimir could tell Tsukune was in a bad mood, so he skipped everything and got straight to the training.

The Girls had explained the situation to Gin and promised that they would help with the final issue of the school newspaper, so he and them quickly exited the school. Before they did though, they met up with Ruby and gave her a run down of the situation, she decided to tag along, just in case. Who knew what could happen when Tsukune was angry and training, they had to be cautious. All seven of them rushed out of the school and into the woods surrounding the school, hoping to get to Tsukune so as to watch after him in case anything happened. But before they could reach the bus stop, they felt an all too familiar and frightening monster energy spike, and it didn't seem like it was going anywhere soon. Somehow all of them managed to speed up, they needed to get there as fast as possible.

Tsukune was becoming increasingly frustrated, he was finding it quite difficult to summon his monster energy, he hadn't had this much difficulty since the last time his mind was on the Girls. As a matter of fact, it was even harder this time. Tsukune didn't need this adding onto everything he was dealing with today. Vladimir noticed the difficulty Tsukune was having, and it made him curious as to just what made it easier for him to draw on his monster energy, and what made it harder. He was going to try and see, while giving Tsukune some advice, but before he could speak, three people came onto the scene. And when they did, Vladimir noticed Tsukune's Holy Lock began to glow, every single cross was glowing red.

Tsukune quickly recognized the three as The Fan Club Coalition, Kozo Kasahara, Kubasaki Nagai and Bosaburo Taira. Tsukune couldn't help but scowl at their appearance, he was in such a bad mood that he couldn't help but be rude, "Oh hell no, you three get out of here, now. You three are the last thing I want to deal with today, I don't need you guys adding onto my stress level, so get lost."

The three didn't seem to take the hint and they didn't seem to notice Vladimir either, as the leader Kozo, spoke, "No way, now that your alone we can finally get rid of you. You don't have all those Girls protecting you, so your just weak sauce, you pantie waste. We know that the Girls defeated Kuyo and you didn't, so don't think that you can fool us like you did everyone else."

Tsukune gritted his teeth in annoyance, he wasn't in a good enough mood and he didn't have enough patience for these three today. Vladimir decided to stay out of it, at least until he thought he needed to intervene. Tsukune was all out of patience, as he spoke once more, "Leave me alone Guys, today is not the day you wanna do this, trust me."

The three laughed at that, and this time Bosaburo was the one to speak, "Because of you we can't be with the Women we love!"

Tsukune ground his teeth together even harder, these three were already driving him crazy. "Tear..."

Tsukune's eyes widened at the sound of that voice, he knew what it was, he had heard it a few times before. The Ghoul was speaking to him, or at least he thought it was, he wasn't for certain. "...them..."

Kubasaki then spoke up, "Today we get rid of you, and our three Goddesses become ours!"

If Tsukune were to put any more pressure on his teeth, they were sure to crack, these three weren't just getting on his nerves, they were adding onto all of his anger, and throwing him into a fit of rage. Tsukune's voice was harsh as he spoke, and his fangs were poking out a little bit, but the Coalition didn't seem to notice. "They'll never be yours! Don't you understand? They don't want you! They want me!"

All three of them scowled at Tsukune's words, and they all spoke in unison, "Prideful much?"

Tsukune honestly didn't know half of what he had just said, he just wanted the three to leave. They were infuriating him.

Then Kozo spoke, by himself, once more, "You don't deserve so many Girls, let alone complete Goddesses such as Moka, Kurumu and Yukari. Today they become ours!"

Tsukune couldn't help but close his eyes and grip his head in pain, as a severe migraine set in out of nowhere. "...apart...NOW!"

With a quick burst of monster energy Tsukune's hair was as silver as the blade of a katana, his eyes were blood red, and his fangs were out and at the ready, and he was staring directly at the Fan Club Coalition, "You can't have them, their mine!"

Vladimir was intrigued by this situation, so he decided not to interfere, at least not yet.

Kozo, Kubasaki and Bosaburo were shocked to say the least by Tsukune's sudden transformation. They were also scared out of their minds, they didn't even understand what was going until Tsukune was up in their faces. He gave them all one quick hit each, he hit Kubasaki hard in his gut with a left gut punch, he then hit Bosaburo with a right handed haymaker to the face, and he kicked Kozo in the balls. All of these attacks left them on the ground, groaning in pain. "A punch to the gut for the Long Neck, a punch to the face for Fatty, and a kick in the balls for slobbery Umbrella Guy, sounds about right."

Tsukune was silent for a moment, but as he crouched down so as to be in their faces, he spoke once more, "You three don't know how to take a fucking hint, do ya? None of my Girls are interested in you, they only want me. What's so hard to understand about that? Now, because of your stupidity, it seems that your lives will have to come to an end. What a pity...well not really. So then, who want's to go first?"

The Fan Club Coalition were literally balling their eyes out, as they began to beg for mercy. But before Tsukune could respond to them, or kill one of them, a collective gasp was heard, and everyone's eyes were drawn to it. Tsukune, the Coalition and Vladimir laid their eyes upon Moka, Mizore, Kokoa, Yukari, Kurumu, Ruby and Gin, as they stared at Tsukune.

As the Girls and Gin made their way down the cliff, so as to get to the bus stop as quick as possible, they noticed a few figures off in the distance. And there was no mistake that the monster energy they felt was Tsukune's. As they reached the bottom, the Girls couldn't help but slightly gasp as they saw Tsukune standing over the Fan Club Coalition, looking ready to kill. They noticed everyone's eyes were drawn to them, but the Girls and Gin still stared at Tsukune. He smiled, his fangs visible in his small smirk, then he spoke, "Hey Girls, your just in time to enjoy the show."

The way Tsukune said it sent chills down all of his Girls's spines, and not the good kind. He was only supposed to be friendly, if you could call it that, to them when he was beyond enraged with someone else. But it seemed as if he wasn't angry very much at all, at least not anymore. Moka was the first of them all to speak, "Tsukune, what happened?"

Tsukune's smirk seemed to get a little wider at that, he knew she was trying to talk to the regular Tsukune but he answered anyway. "Oh nothing really. I'm was just about to get rid of the trash, permanently. There's no need to get involved though, just sit back and watch, let me handle things for once."

Once again his words gave the Girls a chill, this time it was because of what he had said, it almost sounded like something the regular Tsukune would have said. Gin was the one to speak up next, "Tsukune, man you need to calm down. Your letting the Ghoul get the better of you!"

This did nothing to take away the smirk on Tsukune's face, "The Ghoul, the Ghoul, the Ghoul, that's all you say about me. Are you all really that naive, or are you all just stupid?"

Everyone was slightly taken back by what Tsukune said, but Vladimir knew what he was going to say next, and the Girls and Gin needed to hear it.

Moka spoke once more, "What do you mean?"

The smirk on Tsukune's face widened even farther to a full blown smile, when he gave them their answer, "You all really don't get it, do you? You refer to me as if I'm some entity within Tsukune. When the fact of the matter is we are one being, Tsukune is me, and I am Tsukune!"

Looks of shock and disbelief covered the Girls's faces, as well as Gin's. That's when Kokoa spoke, her voice cracking slightly, as if she was about to cry, but you could still hear the anger behind it. "That's not true! Tsukune is nothing like you! You are not Tsukune!"

That's when Vladimir cut in, adding what he knew to the conversation, "I'm afraid he's right, he is indeed apart of Tsukune. The person standing before you is Tsukune, whether you want to believe it or not. The Monster World would have you believe that Ghouls are mindless killing machines, while their right for the most part, their not mindless. They have a personality, and it's made up of all of the negative characteristics, negative thoughts, impulses and desires that the person had before they were turned into a Ghoul. This side of Tsukune will act upon the impulses the regular one never did, this side will chase after his desires more violently and efficiently than the other side did, and his thought process will be of all of the regular Tsukune's negative thoughts. What stands before you all, is the absolute worst Tsukune has to offer, only amplified by the Vampiric blood flowing through his veins."

The look in each of the Girls's eyes was of horror and disbelief. All of them had tears streaming down their cheeks at this point, and their thoughts were exactly the same, "How could this thing be apart of Tsukune?"

Gin was having a lot of trouble accepting it as well, he knew Tsukune, and he wasn't a violent person, or a depraved person, this just wasn't like him, not at all. The Tsukune he knew was a kind, caring and gentle individual. This made absolutely no sense to him. But that's when something dawned on him, "The School has always said that Humans always tuck away their most horrid and evil impulses, thoughts and desires. While most Monsters are up front about being sick and twisted, most Humans aren't."

He had thrown these thoughts away when he had become good friends with Tsukune, because he wasn't anything like the School had described a Human being. But this was forcing him to rethink that.

It went unnoticed by everyone that the Fan Club Coalition had slipped away during the chaos.

What else went unnoticed by everyone was that when the looks of horror came upon the Girls's faces, a tear slid down Tsukune's cheek. He was quick to wipe it away, as he whispered to the other side of himself, "Don't cry you fool."

Ruby's head was spinning, she couldn't believe everything she had heard, her Master wasn't anything like this. "This isn't my Master, my Master is kind, caring, loving, gentle, shy, selfless, and pure in a way. How could this be all of the negative things Tsukune harbors inside of him, it just doesn't make any sense!"

Yukari felt like she was in some kind of nightmare, she couldn't believe everything she had heard, Tsukune wasn't anything like this. "How is this Tsukune? Tsukune's kind, caring, selfless and gentle. He isn't...like this! Even his darkest thoughts couldn't have made this...could they?"

Kurumu was sure she had to be under some kind of spell, she couldn't believe everything she had heard. Her Tsukune wasn't like this. "This isn't my destined one, this isn't Tsukune. Tsukune is shy, selfless, kind, caring and gentle. Nothing inside his head could have ever been formed into this! There's just no way...right?"

Mizore felt like she had gone insane, she just couldn't believe everything she had heard. Her Tsukune wasn't like this. "This can't be my Tsukune. Tsukune is gentle, shy, kind, caring, loving, and completely selfless. He's never been nasty or mean to anyone really...but...everyone has their snapping point. Could Tsukune have finally reached his? Are all of his dark thoughts so deeply buried and cluttered that this is what they've made? Has he kept all of it locked away, this whole time? If this is truly apart of him, then he needs...comfort...that I should have given him long ago."

Kokoa felt like she was going insane, she just couldn't believe everything she had heard. Tsukune was not like this. "This can't be Tsukune. Tsukune is gentle, kind, caring, loving, shy and completely selfless. He's never been one to be hateful or prideful, ever. But...after everything he's went though, being betrayed, belittled, humiliated, and with no one by his side to help him through it, he must have dark thoughts locked away. He had to go through it all alone, for his whole life. If that had happened to me...I don't think I would have been able handle it as well as he did. He's never taken anything out on anybody, he's always kept it locked up inside, with no one to vent to, and nothing to help him vent on his own. That has to be why this thing was born in the first place, this really is apart of Tsukune...the part that's been locked in the dark for as long as he's been alive. I have to help him...he needs me."

Moka's head was going a billion miles an hour, everything she had heard sounded impossible. Tsukune wasn't like this. "This can't be Tsukune. Tsukune is gentle, kind, caring, loving and completely selfless. He's never been hateful, mean or prideful ever before. This isn't possible, that's not Tsukune!"

"Stop it!"

Outer Moka was taken back by Inner's outburst, but it had gotten her to calm down a bit, just enough to listen, which was what Inner wanted.

"Outer you need to get a hold of yourself, you have to calm down. I know how you feel, and we both know just how good of a person Tsukune is. But, no one is without flaws. Think about everything he's gone through throughout his whole life, he was betrayed, belittled, humiliated, and no one was there to help him through it. Hell, there wasn't even someone there to tell him about his good qualities, while everyone else was always pointing out the bad. Growing up like that with no one to vent to, and nothing to vent on can screw someone up psychologically. But somehow Tsukune managed to pull himself through it with his sanity still intact."

Outer stayed quiet, but Inner knew she was getting to her.

"The only possible way he could have done that was to lock everything up inside, all of his dark thoughts, all of his impulses and desires, they've all been locked away somewhere deep in his subconscious for seventeen years. But thanks to our Vampire blood, all of that has been given physical form, and we're staring at it. Tsukune has gone through hell and back for all of us, and he'd do it again in a heartbeat, and you know that. He's accepted everything about each and everyone of us, our good and our bad, it's about time we do the same for him."

Inner Moka's words seemed to have the desired effect, as Outer Moka's resolve was strengthened, "Y...your right. We have to face this, for Tsukune's sake."

"Alright then listen up, I've got a plan."

Tsukune watched as it seemed that all of the Girls and Gin were speechless, and seemingly devastated, the Girls especially. Vladimir was certainly worried about the current situation, but the fact of the matter was that this needed to happen, now that Tsukue was a Ghoul, the ones he loved needed to learn to accept it. But nevertheless, Vladimir kept his eyes solely on Tsukune, watching for any sudden movements. He wasn't a fool, he wasn't going to just drop his guard.

Tsukune's smile was gone, he was now scowling in anger, "Look at all of you, so disturbed by the fact that I'm apart of Tsukune that it's as if your in catatonic states. Is the fact that I'm not as innocent, naive and weak as you thought I was really that hard to accept? So Girls, am I not your perfect Guy anymore? Well I've got news for you all, none of you are so perfect either!"

This outburst snapped all of the Girls from their thoughts, while it wasn't exactly Tsukune saying it, all of the Girls still felt the sting of such hurtful words. Tsukune noticed one by one, what emotions were in the Girls's eyes. Kurumu, Ruby and Yukari all looked disturbed and appalled. Mizore and Kokoa had sympathy and understanding in their eyes. While he couldn't read Moka's emotions for some reason. All of this just proved to infuriate and upset Tsukune, "What do all of you think your staring at!? Am I not allowed to get angry? Am I not allowed to make mistakes? Am I not allowed to have desires? Am I not allowed to be flawed!? What is it that everyone finds so wrong about me!? Tell me what I have to do so you'll all accept me!"

All of the Girls's eyes widened when they realized that Tsukune was crying as he screamed at them. He was genuinely upset, which just served to confuse the Girls more. Well at least Kurumu, Yukari and Ruby. However, for Mizore, Kokoa and Moka, it confirmed that this was indeed Tsukune, that this was a manifestation of everything that he's kept locked inside.

Gin was confused as well, he just wasn't sure about everything that was happening.

Vladimir quirked an eyebrow as tears streamed down Tsukune's face, it took a second, but Vladimir realized what was happening. "I see, it seems that the process is happening quicker than I previously thought. That could be a problem."

Tsukune was gritting his teeth in anger, but it just didn't help, he was overflowing with rage. Soon enough his monster energy spiked and surrounded him, and then he was dashing towards the Girls and Gin. "Since your all so sickened by me, I'll do all of you a favor and put you out of your misery as quick as possible!"

The Girls and Gin barely managed to jump out of the way, if he had been going for a specific target, they wouldn't have gotten away. But he struck out blindly, which allowed everyone to dodge. Tsukune was quick to turn around, and look over the Girls and Gin as well.

No one was quite sure what to do, besides Moka, no one had a plan, or knew what to do. Gin however decided he would act, he didn't know if it would help, but he decided it was better than doing nothing. So Gin stepped up, he walked several paces forward, and quickly entered his Werewolf form. "Come on then, you want some, I'll give you some!"

Tsukune didn't ignore Gin, he turned to face him and made the first move. He lashed out with a right hook, which Gin was able to duck under. Gin quickly took advantage of his position and leaned back on his arms, and used all of the strength he could muster and gave a double kick to Tsukune's abdomen. The force behind the double kick was so strong, that Tsukune went flying. He flew backwards, tilted slightly, so he was going up as well. He would've kept going, if it wasn't for the cliff that led back to school. He slammed directly into it, so hard in fact that his body made a deep indentation, causing dozens of small rocks to begin rolling down the cliff from the impact.

The Girls couldn't help but gasp, it was an involuntary reaction, but Kokoa, Mizore and Moka were actually worried. Kurumu, Ruby and Yukari were still bewildered by the whole situation, still unsure of what to believe.

Vladimir was now interested in seeing just how powerful Tsukune was, he couldn't help but wonder, "If he's as strong as I believe, they won't be able to bring him down. Unless..."

Vladimir glanced over at Moka, but was looking more at her Rosary than anything else. "...they bring Her out."

Gin couldn't help but give the Werewolf equivalent of a smirk, as he thought to himself, "If it's possible to knock some sense into him, I should be able to do it quickly enough. If that didn't work, it shouldn't take much more."

Tsukune was still for several long, drawn out moments before he began to move. He brought his right arm out of the cliff first, followed by his left, then he removed his lower half, and was soon sliding down the cliff, eager to get down there and fight Gin. As he did this, everyone noticed just how deep the indentation in the cliff was, that would have killed any human, any D class monster, several C class monsters, and even a few B class monsters. And as Tsukune arrived back on ground level and shook it off as if it was nothing, they all realized that Tsukune was indeed immensely powerful. Which meant he was S class at least. And as this dawned on Gin, he wasn't so sure about winning anymore. "I'll have to defeat him quickly, or else he could really do some damage."

With that thought in mind, Gin quickly dashed towards Tsukune at full speed, ready to attack. But as he closed in on Tsukune and brought back his right arm for a haymaker, Tsukune made his move. As Gin shot forward with his haymaker, Tsukune ducked, and delivered a hard left jab to Gin's abdomen. The force behind the punch was great, so Gin couldn't help but hunch over in pain, hocking up a bit of blood as he did so. Before Gin even had time to think Tsukune attacked once more, he shot up into a standing position, while deliver a hard right handed uppercut to Gin's jaw. Once again the force behind the blow was great, Gin couldn't keep himself grounded as he was knocked several feet into the air, landing hard on his back about a dozen feet away from his original position. When Gin landed he couldn't help but let out a small howl of pain.

Tsukune didn't look any worse for wear from Gin's attack that was delivered about two minutes ago, he seemed absolutely fine. But everyone around didn't know he was actually hurting, not too bad, but he had felt a good chunk of pain when he was slammed into the cliff. Of course that wouldn't do much to stop him.

Gin was now struggling to get to his feet, however he wasn't even on his knees yet because of the pain. He couldn't help but wonder, "Why does this hurt so much!? Even when Moka hit me for the first time it didn't hurt this much!"

Gin then looked towards Tsukune and the look in his eyes, along with his stance for battle gave Gin his answer. "Now I get it, when I fought Moka she was aiming to stop me from attacking. Unlike her though, Tsukune is aiming to render me incapable of fighting period, he fights as if he's in an all out knockout brawl."

Vladimir's interest was finally peaked, "So Tsukune's a brawler huh? Very interesting indeed."

None of the Girls were surprised by Tsukune's show of power, but because if this they felt dread looming over them. They were all beyond worried about the current situation, but they were still unsure of what to do. Gin was their friend, they had to help him, but the situation at hand was complicated to say the least. Moka had an inkling of what to do, but it was because of inner Moka, but now she had to find a way to execute Inner's plan.

Tsukune was slowly making his way over to Gin, as he struggled to get to his feet. When Tsukune was mere inches from him, Gin managed to actually get on his feet. He was breathing raggedly, he was sure that Tsukune had broken two or three ribs with his first punch. But nevertheless he was ready to fight, it would take more than that to defeat Gin. Although, Tsukune knew this. So before Gin had a chance to attack, Tsukune did. Tsukune delivered two quick jabs to Gin's chest as fast as he could. And while Gin stumbled back from the two punches and the pain set in, Tsukune attacked again by delivering a right straight punch directly to Gin's face. Gin howled in pain as he grabbed his face in instinct, as if it would help cease the pain. But not two seconds after that, Tsukune delivered a hard left gut punch to Gin. Which knocked the breath out of him, and once more acting on instinct Gin removed his hands from his face, and held his stomach in pain.

This left him open for attack once more, so Tsukune cocked his right arm back, leaning into it as he did, and shot it forward with as much force as he could summon, and it made direct contact with Gin's face. When Tsukune hit Gin with that haymaker it sent him soaring straight backwards, blood flying from his mouth because of the particularly strong punch. Vladimir quickly rushed over and caught Gin before he could fly out too far, because if he did he'd end up in the blood red ocean and he would have drowned since he was unconscious. Of course everyone noticed this, the Girls were relieved, but Tsukune didn't particularly care. He straightened up from his stance, and then looked towards the Girls, a scowl still on his face.

Yukari, Kurumu and Ruby were slowly coming to grips that this was indeed the real Tsukune, or at least the dark side of the real Tsukune. And all three of them knew Tsukune accepted them for their good and their bad, and the fact that his bad was shaking them to the core, made them feel like dirt. Combine that with everything they've heard and seen, they felt worse than dirt. But with this realization, they along with Mizore, Kokoa, and Moka didn't know if they could fight Tsukune. Especially with why he wanted to fight them, he was so sure they were rejecting him because of his dark side, and it seemed to have torn his heart to bits. All of the Girls were close together, side by side, as Tsukune approached them, slowly, menacingly.

Once he as close enough to reach out and touch them, his monster energy flared. But none of the Girls made a move, they just stared at him, tears slowly rolling down their cheeks, their eyes filled with sorrow. This seemed to just make Tsukune angrier, "What are you all doing? Fight me!"

At that one by one each of the Girls got down on their knees in traditional Japanese sitting manor, hands in their lap and everything. From left to right it was, Ruby, Kurumu, Yukari, Mizore, Kokoa and Moka. Tsukune's scowl grew at this, "What do you think your all doing? Fight me!"

All of the Girls shook their head no, and then they all spoke, in unison, "We refuse to fight you, no matter what."

Tsukune was infuriated by this, "Fight me, or I'll kill all of you!"

All of them remained calm, and one by one, they spoke.

Ruby, "We won't fight you."

Kurumu, "No matter what."

Yukari, "Because we love you."

Mizore, "Far too much to ever hurt you."

Kokoa, "But it seems we've failed to be there when you needed us."

and Moka, "So do what you must."

Tsukune was past his breaking point, with their words something inside him snapped, and he lost it.

He lashed out, he delivered a right hook to Ruby's face knocking her hard to the ground, causing her to squeal in pain. She could feel a bruise already setting in, not to mention a bit of blood was leaking from the left side of her mouth.

Then he grabbed Kurumu by her hair, and brought his left knee up with great force, slamming it directly into her jaw. Because Tsukune let go of her hair, she slammed backwards onto the ground because of the force of the blow, giving a single scream of pain as she did so. A fair amount of blood was in her mouth because of the blow, and it was all slowly leaking out from the left side of her mouth, her nose had taken damage as well, so just a bit of blood was leaking from her right nostril.

Then Yukari, he grabbed her face with his right hand and slammed the back of her head down onto the ground as hard as he could, causing her to scream in pain. It also busted the back of her head open a bit, so blood was leaking out.

Then Mizore, he gave her a hard slap, knocking her to the ground. She made no noise though. He then stood over her, crouched down to be as close as possible and with no warning gave her a hard punch to the face with his left hand, but again she made no noise. "Scream!"

He then punched her again, the same result. She just kept silent, and continued to stare into Tsukune's eyes, like the other three had when he hurt them. But her eyes held no fear, no hate, only sympathy, understanding and forgiveness. Then he cried out in rage, with almost a pleading tone to his words, "Don't look at me like that!"

Tsukune gritted his teeth as he hit her again, then again, and again and again. The only thing that changed was that there was now blood dripping down from both the left side and right side of her mouth. "Scream goddamn it!"

He then changed tactics, he stood up, and then he stomped on her abdomen as hard as he could. And this time she couldn't help but scream out in pain, some blood flying out of her mouth as she did so. "There, that's better."

Now it was time for Kokoa, he flat out punched her in the face, knocking her onto the ground, but she made no noise. So he stood over her, crouched down so as to be closer and punched her once more. She made no noise, just like before, but now there was a tiny bit of blood leaking from the right side of her mouth. "Don't pull this shit, just scream!"

So he punched her once more, and then again, and again, and again. But she stayed silent through it, the only thing that changed was that, like Mizore, she had blood leaking from both sides of her mouth. She continued to stare into Tsukune's eyes, with nothing but sympathy, understanding, and forgiveness as he did this. "Goddamn it, don't you look at me like that!"

Tsukune then grabbed Kokoa by her pigtails, lifted her head up, brought his own head back, and shot forward, slamming his head into hers as hard as he could. Because he let go of her pigtails after he did this, his headbutt caused her head to slam back down onto the ground, she couldn't help but scream in pain at this. Her head was busted open, blood all over her forehead, her nose was broken, blood leaking from both nostrils, and a bit of blood was leaking from both sides of her mouth. "There we go."

Tsukune also had blood on his forehead, some of it his, some of it Kokoa's. He really didn't give a fuck though.

And finally it was Moka's turn, which wasn't good for her. Every time the Girls refused to fight even after what he had done to them, just caused him to become even more aggressive. Tsukune wasted no time, he slapped her as hard as he could, which knocked her to the ground. She managed to stay silent, but for her it was hard. Tsukune stood over her and crouched down, he wasted no time, and quickly began punching her in her face. With each punch it became harder for Moka to keep herself from screaming, but as he stopped, she had yet to scream. However blood was leaking from both sides of her mouth. "Why is that you Girls keep refusing to scream!? Just fucking scream!"

Tsukune then punched Moka as hard as he could, breaking her nose upon impact, causing blood to leak from both of her nostrils. But all she did was give a small whimper of pain for his efforts. So he stood up, and stomped on her abdomen as hard as he could, trying his hardest to make her scream, "Just scream bitch!"

And this time she did, she screamed louder than the other Girls did, some blood flying out of her mouth as she did so. But she did not stand up, she did not start to fight. Which was what Tsukune wanted the most. He gritted his teeth so hard that they could have cracked, as he grabbed Moka by the green jacket of her school uniform and puller her up, so as to be face to face with her. Her legs were dangling, for she was not trying to stand up, she was not trying to fight back. "Why won't any of you fight me!? Look at what I've done to all of you, I've beaten all of you down into bloody messes, don't you want revenge!? Why the fuck won't any of you fight me!?"

Moka's eyes were half open, and half closed, tears streaming down her face, blood leaking from both sides of her mouth, and from both nostrils, as she stared into Tsukune's eyes and spoke, "Because we love you, we're all willing and ready to give our lives for you, we belong to you now and forever."

Tsukune couldn't help but stare back into Moka's eyes as she said these words. Her eyes were filled with sorrow, pain, regret, sympathy, understanding, and love. But there was no hate and there was no malice. Tsukune didn't know it, but there were tears streaming down his face at that point. "If none of you will fight me, then I know someone who will!"

Tsukune then reached up, wrapped his free hand around Moka's Rosary, and yanked it off, flooding the area with blinding white light.

When the light faded, Tsukune was holding a limp Inner Moka, instead of limp Outer Moka. And she was in no better shape then Outer was, her face was just as bloody as Outer Moka's was. You, you love to fight. So fight me!"

Tsukune then threw her a few feet forward, and she landed on her ass, sliding a little bit. But she made no attempt to get up. Tsukune could see she wasn't going to get up, so he dashed forward and as quick as lightning, he brought his right knee up, and slammed it full force into Moka's jaw. She shot back a bit, and slammed onto the ground, more blood beginning to pour from her mouth, but she did not scream. Tsukune then took a few steps forward, crouched down and wrapped both of his hands around her throat, he then stood up bringing them face to face. But just like Outer Moka, Inner Moka's arms and legs hung limply at her sides, and she made no attempt to attack or free herself from Tsukune's grasp. "You of all people refuse to fight me!? Why!?"

Moka spat some blood to her right, so that she could speak clearly, "Didn't the other me already answer this question?"

"You..."

Moka smirked, allowing a little more blood to leak from her mouth, "I love you too Tsukune."

"AAAAHHHHHH! Shut your mouth!"

Tsukune then took his right hand away from Moka's throat, and slammed it into her gut as hard as he possibly could, causing her eyes to widen, as she coughed up more blood. He then let go of her throat, causing her to fall straight down. But before she could finish her small fall, Tsukune grabbed a hold of her silver hair with his left hand, just as she slammed down onto her knees. "Fight me!"

Tsukune then brought back his right arm and it shot forward, delivering a strong right hook to Moka's face, causing some blood to fly out of her mouth. But she did not scream, and she did not try and stop him. Because she gave no reaction, he quickly began doing it over and over, repeatedly punching her in the face. "Fight me! Fight me! Fight me! Fight me! Fight me! Fight me! Fight me! FUCKING FIGHT ME!"

However Moka remained silent, and she still refused to fight back. But her head was now busted open, blood leaking from her forehead, blood was now flowing more freely from her nostrils as well, not too much though, and finally she had a mouth full of blood, that was ever so slowly leaking out. "Fine then! If you won't fight me, then why don't you scream for me!?"

Tsukune's monster energy then flared to life, visible to all, as he hit maximum power. He then lifted Moka higher by her hair and let go, cocking his right shoulder back, bringing his right arm with it. And before she could hit the ground, he shot forward with everything he had, and hit Moka in the face with a full power, monster energy energized haymaker. She went soaring, almost all of the blood in her mouth escaping as she flew back, however she did not give more than a whimper of pain, however Tsukune did not hear it. But he certainly heard when she slammed into the cliff, causing a very deep indentation shaped like her body. She was deeper in the cliff than Tsukune had been. But she was also at the base of the cliff, not more than two feet off the ground. Tsukune's breathing was ragged as he stared off at Moka, he was almost out of energy. He did not get her to scream, but he had had enough. He just couldn't deal with it anymore.

He turned his back on the Girls, as he looked up at the sky, his mind going a billion miles an hour.

Vladimir still kept watching Tsukune with interest. He himself wondered why he hadn't stepped in yet. But somewhere, something inside him told him not to interfere, so he didn't. But regardless, if this got too out of hand, if anyone's life was endangered, he would have to step in, no matter what the consequences were. That's when Vladimir noticed the Girls were up to something, so he watched on with renewed interest.

Because Tsukune's back was turned, he didn't see all of the Girls, except for Moka, getting to their feet. Within a matter of a minute, all of the Girls were on their feet, with the exception of Moka. They all just stared at Tsukune, not sure what to do. But that's when Moka's eyes opened, and her monster energy spiked to maximum. All of the Girls could feel it, but Tsukune's mind was elsewhere, he had no idea of what was about to happen. Moka removed her arms from the cliff, then her legs, and finally her abdomen. Her face was a bloody mess, just like Mizore's and Kokoa's. But everyone was battered and bloodied, but none of it mattered. Moka, her monster energy at it's maximum quickly began sprinting at full speed towards Tsukune. When the Girls saw this, they knew what she was going to do, she had told them of them of what she was doing, it was something her Father had taught her. However they did not move.

Moka within a matter of seconds had passed all of the Girls and was a mere fifteen feet from Tsukune. That's when all of the other Girls began rushing towards Tsukune as well, all of their monster energy at it's maximum. Tsukune however didn't notice anything until it was too late. As he turned around to defend himself, Moka was already in his face. But instead of attacking him like he thought she would, she wrapped her arms around him, and used her monster energy to keep him subdued. The rest of the Girls quickly followed suit, and began wrapping their arms around Tsukune, using their monster energy to subdue him as well. They were all huddled together, and it seemed like a weird group hug, but it was actually a sealing method Moka had learned about form her Father. "What the hell is going on!? What are you doing!?"

Moka ignored Tsukune's question, as she began to speak, "We've neglected to help you Tsukune, we should have know that something was wrong. With everything you've ever gone through, it was obvious something would be wrong. We're sorry that we failed you. We won't ever do so again. However if we truly want to be with you Tsukune, we must accept that this darkness is apart of you, we must love you despite it, and we must love this side of you as well. Only then can we be with you."

The rest of the Girls nodded in agreement. Tsukune was baffled beyond belief, "What? Wait, You mean..."

"Yes, we're accepting you for you. Your good and your bad. We've also decided to share you amongst ourselves, so as to save you and us the heartache. The fact is Tsukune, everything is gonna be okay from now on."

That's when Tsukune's Holy Lock began to glow once more, but it glew pink which it never had before, then it glew red, and finally it began to glow white, which it also had never glew before. And then a blinding white light began to emanate from the Holy Lock, and then it spread across the immediate area, blinding anyone and everyone as to what was happening to Tsukune and his Girls.
