Rosario Vampire:Tsukune's Awakening

by ultimatedbzmaniac

Tsukune and his girls only have a few months before their jr. year ends. And after that, they'll come back as seniors, Tsukune is running out of time, he has to choose one of the girls, and soon. Or he might end up all alone. But on top of that, something inside him is about to awaken, but what does that mean for Tsukune and his girls? Takes place right after season 2 of the anime.

25. Tsukune and a Gathering of Witches PT3

SupernalGodzilla: Oh for sure. In fact, I do believe he's on everyone's shitlist at this point. I'd be more surprised if someone didn't want him dead to be honest. Yes he is, and as to how the dilemma will be resolved, well...yeah, you'll see. Thank you and I'll do my best.

jm121212121: I'm pretty sure everyone feels the same when it comes to El. Yeah well, no one likes to make Tsukune agonize over something more than himself, unfortunately. As for him knowing what he did was wrong...it wasn't wrong. Yukari isn't a normal girl, she's much smarter, big time genius level, and isn't 'human'. She knows the difference between right and wrong and was more than capable of giving consent. When it comes to true love, in my opinion, there are no boundaries. Race, ethnicity, gender, age, all of it is meaningless in the face love. Sappy and cliche I know, but it's just how I feel. In short, just because Tsukune feels guilt over it does not mean it was wrong.

That was what I was hoping to do, peak everyone's curiosities. As to what that mark on Kokoa's neck is, well...I can't disclose much about it, as I don't want to give anything away, but I will tell you this, it has something to do with her being a vampire. Yeah, I'm debating whether to have them get together or not. As of right now I'm leaning more toward yes than no. I'm glad it's intriguing, that's what I was going for after all, and as for the answers you seek, they shall come my friend, do not worry.

IdiAmeanDada: Why thank you, glad you appreciate it so. :) Oh my friend, you have no idea. You ever see Final Destination? Well it's death will get you no matter what thing applies to Elefica a hundred times over. He's a dead man walking, end of story. As to who will kill him and how...well, you'll just have to wait and see. Oh really, what would your preference for his death be? You've got me curious. Don't worry, it won't affect how I plan to do him in. You're squeamish about Tsukune's and Yukari's relationshop huh? Well then...this chapter will probably make you very, very uncomfortable. So allow me to apologize in advance. Hopefully it won't turn you off from my story altogether.

Tsukune Blackout: As I said, I have something particular in mind for Tsukune, and I have yet to disclose what I plan to do for Moka and Kokoa. I'm brainstorming with my current ideas with the added ideas of the guest who suggested those specific awakenings and as to what will be decided in the end, you'll have to continue reading the story to find out. I do like your thinking though. Then again, I'm biased since I love super saiyan four so much. So much so that I might include your idea partially...if there's room for it in what I already have planned that is. I did want to point out though that ss4 Goku and Vegeta have red around their eyes, not black...sorry for being so nitpicky. :P

Tsukune's got plenty of enemies left, trust me. As for an archenemy, well the only person I considered his archenemy before was Kuyo. Now though, well, let's just say there are several candidates with the qualifications of being an archenemy.

Kick his ass? If Tsukune sees that bastard again, he'll do a lot more that beat him, that's for sure.

I'm unsure if I will. I write from where the anime left off and anything from the manga I bring in I put a spin on to make it my self dubbed 'anime version' of that character or event. So...yeah. Maybe I will bring her in, maybe I won't. It just depends on what the story has in store and how well she'll fit in to the plot.

I'll do my best and thank you for saying such. I never intended to inspire anybody, but to know I've done so is awesome. And as far as I'm concerned, making somebody want to write is inspiring them. If you feel that is too strong a word however, then I apologize. That said, regarding your crossover, I'm afraid I can't say much on the matter. I've heard of Highschool DxD but have never seen it, and as for Trinity Seven and Testament of Sister New Devil, yeah, I've never even heard of them. Is This A Zombie? though, now I've actually seen that one. I watched season one and two on the funimation app about a year or so ago.

As for if Rosario + Vampire and Is This A Zombie? could work together, well I suppose. I don't remember anything in particular in the latter of the two that contradicted R+V, but then again it has been over a year now. Anyway, I'll just say this. If you think those series would work well together and you want to write a crossover between them, then you should go for it, end of story.

PoodsPizza: Depends on what you mean. Is he Madara Uchiha? No. This is not a crossover story. Is he based off of Madara Uchiha though? Somewhat. Most of his character was something I had already come up with, and as I looked to put the finishing touches on him, such as his name and appearance, I found Madara fit well with his last name and that his appearance works well with the character's personality. That's about it.

Guest: So it was you, that makes things simpler. Here I was racking my brain trying to think of who could have left it, as when it was left and the content in it heavily leaned toward you, so I was having a bit of a hard time figuring out who else could have wrote it. As for it being trashy, I think you're being a little too hard on yourself about it. And don't worry, no shovel violence shall occur here, I promise you. Well, I promise it won't happen to you at least. XP Also, no apology needed.

And I'm glad you put them forward. You got the powerful down for Kurumu, that's for sure. Elegance...eh, whatever.

I imagine they were tricky, and yeah, I think you did too. You've got a point, but we'll see what happens.

Yeah, higher forms of vampires can be hard to imagine at times, I think it's mostly because their level of power can vary wildly from one form of media to another. As for Shinso vampires, they're supposed to have higher levels of healing, strength and speed, as well as being immortal and one other weird ability about using their monster energy to alter their body, which is pretty cool actually. I'm studying them, as I work on the ideas I already have, as well as thinking on your blood vampire idea and...I think I've come up with a cool way to take their awakenings. I won't disclose what it is though, so yeah...hush hush. Also, Blade reference, awesome. I Love Blade.

Yep, I have an great plan for Tsukune. That doesn't mean I won't take suggestions necessarily, just that his final and ultimate form, and the abilities that accompany it, I've got locked down. Glad you noticed that, and it being clever...eh, not so sure, but I appreciate the compliment anyway. So...yeah, thank you. :) Godlike...yeah, I like it, I like it a lot. You have the right idea about them, in my opinion anyway.

Thank you, thank you. As for Tsukune killing El...well, I'm not gonna spoil anything, but I will tell you that there's no way around his death. Whether it happens soon or not...well, yeah, you'll just have to wait and see my friend. :P Oh, oh, I know the answer to this question! Uh, um...never? XD

Yes we do, and don't forget, it hasn't finished forming yet. What does the mark mean? I'll be keeping that to my self. Yes, yes I am.

Thank you very much! I'll do my best. And so am I.

Deflow: Smart.

You did huh? Alright.

Good to know.

Yu Yu Hakusho, Hunter X Hunter and Inuyasha...yeah, never seen the first two and Inuyasha, well I've seen a handful of episodes and really like it, but I've yet to even come close to watching the whole series, much to my irritation.

Well yeah, that's obvious. Yokai are supposed to be monsters and demons, well, they're demons.

Hmm, I'll admit it, that's all certainly very interesting.

Okay, I'll be right here when you want to tell me more.

I thank you for telling me your point of view, and as I said before, I will take it into consideration. As for if I've ever watched any of those three series, one of them yeah. I've seen a dozen or so episodes of Inuyasha, but that's about it. I really want to see the entire series, I just haven't been able to yet.

If you say so. I happen to love Dragon Ball Z, Naruto and One Piece, all of which kept their quality after the hundred episode mark. Well beyond in fact. But you know, to each his own and all that. Thank you for sharing all this with me, I appreciate it. :)

kill me now: My story is the first one you've ever reviewed? Well then, I thank you for taking the time to do so. :) If I'm misunderstanding you, and what you mean is that this is your first review for my story in particular, then sorry for the confusion, but I still thank you regardless. Anyway, I'm glad you like it, and by too lemony, do you mean that in a good way or a bad way? The way you've worded your review is why I ask, as just the way it reads makes it hard to tell which way you mean it. Yeah, I enjoy that too, that's why I like writing those kinds of moments. More will be coming, so keep tuning in my friend.

keithallen: Don't worry, more is indeed coming. I have Tsukune's journey planned out through six or seven seasons, and we're only on season four, so...yeah, plenty more to come. I'm glad you like the way they're developing, might I ask for specifics regarding this though? I'd like to know your opinion on a more detailed level of how the group is growing and changing. If not, no big deal I guess. As for the last few battles, yeah, it took me a long time to realize how often I used that. I still use it of course, but much more sparingly, not to mention I have better ideas when it comes to battle damage now-a-days. Yep, exactly.

Thank you. :)

So, before we begin, I have something to say. You guys know how I said that I was going to break this up into four parts? Yeah, turns out I was wrong. Because I decided to include certain extra scenes, well...I've come to the decision to cut this arc into five parts, so that the story flows better. Heh heh, my bad. You guys can proceed to riot now if you wish, I'll understand.

Also, one more thing. I might have, ahem, dabbled a little bit more than usual in the risque side of writing in this chapter, so...yeah, just warning you ahead of time.

Is there a lemon in here? No. I have never written a lemon, nor will I ever write one. There is simply a scene, correction, a couple of scenes, that are a bit more risque than my usual scenes where one of the girls and Tsukune are intimate. Why am I telling you this and spoiling some of what happens? So that anyone who is offended by what occurs knows about it ahead of time. I don't want to offend anyone, but there's always someone out there somewhere offended by something, so it's inevitable. I mean several people were quite offended when Tsukune and Yukari were first intimate, so...yeah. Anyway, if you are offended by this chapter, you have my sincerest apologies, I mean that with the utmost honesty.

Now in case anyone asks, no, I don't have a problem with lemons. Why won't I ever write one? Two reasons. First, I feel it can detract from the story if not done exactly right, and second, I don't want to risk getting my story taken down. Yeah, yeah, I know, there are plenty of stories filled with lemons that haven't been taken down, but with my luck mine surely would be. And if I lost all my hard work...well, I just don't know what I'd do.

I'm so paranoid about getting my story taken down that, not going to lie, I fear it still might happen, even though I haven't written a lemon. So if it does...fuck my life.

Oh and if you're wondering why I wrote these scenes, I'll tell you. Bonding, plot purposes, and character development. No more, no less. Also, if you're wondering about this, no, I probably won't write any other scenes as risque as these.

Moving on. Alright guys, part three of episode nine of season four is here! Please read, review and enjoy.

It was roughly half an hour after Tsukune, Yukari and Ruby began mingling with some of the many witches and warlocks that had been gathered, the male of the three having wiped his blood off on the inside of his jacket to avoid being noticed in particular, that their attention was called to two people in particular.

"There you are Yukari dear."

At the sound of that voice, said young witch's face lit up, she, her fellow witch and their lover turning to face the direction the voice came from to see, who else, her parents.

Her mother and father were easy to pick out of the crowd for two reasons, the first is that they weren't far from them, and the second was that their choice of clothing, the same outfits they had worn during parents day last year, were more vibrant with color than the other magical beings in the immediate vicinity.

"Mom, Dad!" The young witch greeted them enthusiastically, hugging them back as they pulled her into a family hug, their smiles as wide as hers upon spotting her.

"We'd been looking for you since we arrived. We knew you'd be able to make it without our help, but we still couldn't help being worried you might have gotten lost. The Witching Fields are quite gigantic after all." Yukari's father told her, his wife nodding her head in agreement with his words.

"No, we got here just fine!" She assured them. "Well, mostly anyway." She amended, obviously thinking on the bus crash that Nurari maintained wasn't actually a crash.

"That's good to hear sweetie." Her dad replied, the three ending the hug as they did.

The family of three would go on to talk to Ruby for a minute or so after that, but Tsukune honestly had no idea what they spoke of. Why? Because he was currently freaking out, on the inside so no one would notice, about having to explain to his lover's, correction, his youngest lover's parents how he was not only in a relationship with her, but a polyamorous relationship with her and six other girls.

His palms were slick once more, though with sweat rather than blood this time, his mind began running through all the possible outcomes that could occur, most of which didn't end very well for him, and his guilt, that he had been trying to force down for the past thirty minutes, came rushing back to the forefront. All in all, he was not in good shape for this, or anything else for that matter.

He had continuously tried reminding himself that she had grown up in the monster world and that, while they didn't exactly approve of relationships like theirs, they didn't persecute people over them. Even still, he had yet to quash the seemingly insurmountable guilt and shame he felt inside, as despite how it had never seemed wrong, everything he had been taught in his life, as a human, came rushing back about just how wrong it was. The imagery that had been painted for him by Elefica's words didn't help either. Over all, the ghoul felt like he was going throw up.

'Breathe Tsukune, just breathe.' He told himself, as he continued to try and calm himself down. It didn't help of course, it never did, but that didn't matter, as Yukari's parents were now facing him, her father's hand extended for a handshake, both smiling pleasantly at him.

Refocusing on the world around him, he was able to hear the warlock speak to him, after he had wiped his sweaty hands on his pants and took the older man's hand for the offered handshake that is. "We figured it'd be best to introduce ourselves formally, since we didn't get much time to know each other last year. I'm Yukari's father, Tamanori, and this is her mother, my lovely wife, Fujiko." Said woman in question gave a small bow as she was introduced.

Tsukune reincorporated, bowing to her in turn after shaking her husband's hand. "Tsukune Aono." He managed a weak smile then, as he added, "Nice to see you again."

"Likewise." Tamanori replied.

A silence fell between the five then, the awkwardness of it obvious to all involved.

"I think I'll just excuse myself so that you four can talk in private." Ruby said then with a slight bow of her own. "If you need anything Master, I'll be right over there." The nineteen year old added, indicating a visible spot where only a few other magical beings stood as she did.

With her departure, the quiet that consumed them seemed to become only more awkward, especially as all the witches and warlocks seemed to gravitate away from them, leaving them mostly alone.

Yukari was the only one who seemed not to understand why this situation was so awkward. "Why are you guys so quiet?" She questioned them.

Her lover simply smiled sheepishly in return. Her mother tilted her head to the side a bit, basically saying she wasn't exactly sure why either, though not because she didn't know the reason, simply because the reason wasn't something that should warrant this, in her opinion. Her father, well he decided to take action. "Okay, I guess we should start by talking about the elephant in the room, so to speak."

The only ghoul of the four cringed at that. "Y-yeah, I guess so." What was this elephant? The teen assumed it was that they knew their daughter was pursuing a romantic relationship with him and wanted to discuss and discourage it, since they had been unable to do so last year.

"So..." Tamanori started, seemingly hesitant about this as well. "You're in a relationship with our daughter."

His words weren't heard by Tsukune however, as at the same time he had blurted out a similar statement, "I'm in a relationship with your daughter!"

The silence returned at that, as all four of them just blinked a couple of times, unsure of how to react. As for those surrounding them, generally speaking, strangely enough there were barely any glances their way at that outburst of sorts, seemingly either unable to hear them or indifferent to the matter entirely.

"Well, yeah, we already know that." Tamanori started. "That's what we wanted to talk to you about, you know, the elephant in the room?"

"Oh." Was the ghoul's simple response at that, his surprise clear on his face. "Ho-how did you find out?'

"That's a simple one. Yukari informed us via letter." The warlock replied.

"Oh." Tsukune repeated himself, his dread apparent at this point as he closed his eyes tightly, anticipating what would be said next, not expecting it to be kind in the slightest.

Meanwhile Yukari just looked back and forth between her lover and her father, wondering what exactly was going on. 'Why does Tsukune seem so anxious?'

"Now I'm not going to give you some kind of lecture about how she's my daughter and that I won't allow her to be with you, nor am I going to revile or castigate you because of the age difference between you. After all, true love is a wonderful thing that surmounts all odds, whatever they may be. However, I do have one question for you." Tamanori informed the younger man, his friendly smile falling away as he did.

Tsukune reopened his eyes at being told a question was going to be asked of him, as the warlock proceeded to take his glasses off, his eyes meeting the young ghoul's dead on, staring intently into the teen's brown orbs as he leaned in to where their faces were uncomfortably close. "Be honest with me. Do you love my daughter, truly?" His voice was pensive and lower than normal as he made this inquiry, both in pitch and volume, his gaze piercing but his eyes neutral, like an unbiased judge preparing to pass a ruling on a defendant.

"Wh-what?" Tsukune clearly couldn't believe he had been asked that, his eyes now wide open. "Of course I do!" He exclaimed with absolute conviction.

Yukari was perplexed at this point, as she had been unable to hear what her father had asked her lover, while said man searched the teen's eyes for any sign of deception. When he found none, the warlock's smile returned, his wife's returning after falling away as well. "Then that's good enough for us." He meant that, as he could tell the brown haired teen was being entirely truthful.

"Hu-huh?" The seventeen year old was, understandablu, bewildered by that statement.

"We just wanted to make sure that you truly loved our daughter. And it's clear to see that you do. As far as we're concerned, as long as you love each other, we have no qualms about you two being together." The older man explained.

"Wha-I don't-I mean-" As the teen continued to fumble for a response, the family of three began to laugh at him, as he looked quite ridiculous as he tripped over his words, and almost tripped over himself as well.

Soon enough, Tsukune was able to compose himself, though he was still somewhat addled by everything. Nevertheless, he understood that he had Yukari's parents blessing to be with her, and that made him feel better, even if it didn't erase the ill feelings he held for himself.

Bowing deeply, as deeply as he could without falling to his knees, he did his best to express his gratitude. "Thank you very much for being so understanding. I can't tell you how grateful I am to you two for your acceptance of our relationship." He wanted to say more, but he just didn't know what words to use, he was just...he just couldn't believe they seemed so okay with it.

Tamanori chuckled heartily at this. "You don't have to thank us, we just wanted to know that you would take good care of our daughter is all." Fujiko nodded her head in time with his words, agreeing with his statement completely.

"I will, I assure you. I won't let anyone hurt her, ever. I promise." Tsukune swore to them as he stood, his gaze intense as he did.

"Have you been worried about my parent's approval this whole time Tsukune?" Yukari queried him suddenly, her eyes reflecting her concern from before as well as curiosity.

"Well, I...yeah, kind of." He admitted, rubbing the back of his head in a nervous manner as he did. "It's one of the things that's been bothering me at least." He further admitted. "I mean...Moka's and Kokoa's father hates me with a passion, Mizore's parents don't trust me in the slightest and Kurumu's mom...well, I can only guess how she'll feel about me after she finds out I'm-or was, human. I just didn't want to sour your relationship with them in anyway, like it seems I've done with the other girls, cause you three just seemed so close when I saw you together last year. And I didn't want to ruin that."

"Tsukune." Yukari said his name with such fondness and love it made him feel warm inside.

That's when he realized he had spoken of once being human. "Oh crap. I'm sorry we-" He didn't get to finish however, as Fujiko wrapped him in her arms and pulled him into a tight embrace. "Uh...I don't-I don't understand." He said then, unsure of why she was hugging him.

"She's thanking you." Her daughter explained to him, smiling just as he parents were.

"Thanking me?" He repeated, the confusion clear on his face. "What for?"

"For being so considerate of our daughter and us. Yukari always told us how caring, kind and selfless you are in the letters she sends us, but seeing it first hand...we realize she wasn't embellishing anything she told us." Tamanori elaborated.

"Bu-but, I-I'm human-was human, and we never told you." He objected weakly, not wanting them to change their opinions about him, just not believing that they had good opinions of him in the first place.

"True, but we can't fault you for that. You were worried about how we would see you. You also didn't want your lovers to receive any backlash for being with you." The older man rebutted, his wife pulling back from the teen to nod her head in agreement. "Besides, we've know for awhile. We even wrote Yukari when we found out, and she confirmed it for us, as well as explained why no one ever told us. We understand why it had to be kept secret. And we promise not to tell anyone, about you being human or a ghoul."

Tsukune was, obviously, wondering how they hell they had found out he was human before now, just as Mizore's parents had, but before he could ask that question, Tamanori spoke further. "Speaking of letters, the one we got a few days ago was an interesting one, that's for sure." As her husband said this, Fujiko let go of her daughter's lover and moved back over to the warlock's side.

"What do you mean by that?" The ghoul couldn't help but ask, taking the bait.

"Well, since I knew you and our daughter were in a relationship I had been preparing the speech I was going to give you two on sex. That day though, when I picked up the mail, I saw another letter from Yukari. The contents weren't explicit of course, but they did confirm for me that the talk I had planned to have with you two was rather moot at that point."

Tsukune began to sweat up a storm at that, his eyes widening to the max once again, his anxiety on display for all to see. "I didn't-I was-I mean..." He had no idea what to say. They both wore smiles, but surely they had to be angry with him right? Furious is more like it. So why hadn't they started screaming or attacking him yet? What was going on?

Looking to Yukari, he saw her staring at her feet, a blush playing at her cheeks. What she was feeling on the matter, well, he could only guess.

Looking back to her parents, he decided that he needed to own up to what he did. More importantly, to diffuse what would in most cases be a very volatile situation, but didn't seem to be in this case, not that it mattered at that point. "That was...that was my fault. I-I pressured her into it." His throat felt dry as he said this, and not the normal kind of dry, Sahara desert kind of dry.

"That's a lie!" Yukari protested then, her head shooting up to glare at her lover, more upset at him for blaming something on himself than angry. "I'm the one who-"

"Whoa now, stop right there darling. I really don't need to hear anymore." Her father told her. "I get it. I already know. He's just trying to shield you from any backlash that he feels you might receive. I did the same for your mother when I was young. Well, we didn't have the age difference you two do and-never mind, that's beside the point." He stopped himself from getting off track with a shake of his head. "What I'm trying to say is that when two people love each other, it's perfectly natural for them to engage in intercourse. As long as you both enjoy it, that's all that matters. Whatever you do in the bedroom is your business, I'm not here to judge." He had successfully gotten off track regardless now.

"That's not to say what you do can be judged at all." He tried to clarify, apparently trying to make sure they knew whatever they did that it was their prerogative.

"Okay." The two lovers said with a nod of their heads, fighting back the red that wanted to consume their faces as they did.

"Male and female bodies are both beautiful in their own right." Tamanori went on to say. "So there is absolutely nothing wrong or dirty about the things you do in the bedroom. No one has any right to say otherwise. So I just want you to know that you have our full support, and that we will never judge you in anyway for any reason." He assured them, his wife smiling and nodding enthusiastically in agreement.

Both Tsukune's and Yukari's faces were beet red at this point, as hearing your father, or in the ghoul's case your lover's father, talk about sex in anyway was more than embarrassing. And the way that he kept rambling on only made things worse.

"So to recap, Fujiko and I support you and will never look down on you or become upset with you for anything you two do together-"

"We get it!" The lovers near shouted, their embarrassment beginning to overwhelm them, the two just wanting him to stop before he could say anything else.

"Oh, okay then. Good." He cleared his throat in a nervous manner as he did, unintentionally drawing attention to the fact that his face was almost as red as theirs. "That's good." Apparently he was just a flustered as they were, just wanting them to know that he and Fujiko were on their side and would never judge them or be angry at them for anything intimate they did, as it was purely their decision.

A somewhat awkward silence descended upon the four again then, though it was quickly broken as they all began to laugh, realizing just how funny this all was.

And just like that, Tsukune suddenly felt very silly. He had been making what he had done with Yukari out to be something dark and despicable that he had all but forced on her, when in reality, at least to Yukari and her family, it wasn't something to be reviled and prejudiced, at least not in their case. And if she and her parents could see it like that, who was he to say that they were wrong?

Yet, even still, as he laughed with Yukari and her family, and Ruby returned to ask how the talk had gone, the dark inkling of shame and guilt remained lurking beneath the surface.

Yokai Academy, two days ago...

In the now empty courtyard, a little orange bat came flying out into the open. "Is...is it finally safe to come out now Wee?"

He looked all about but saw nothing, besides all the damage done by Aqua, Kuyo and the battles between the students and the seventh division of fairy tale that is. "There's...there's no one here? Right, Wee?"

Indeed their wasn't. All students and faculty had either returned to their dorms and lodging, or were all crammed into and cramped up in the makeshift infirmary that was once the auditorium. "Whew, I'm finally safe, Wee." He told himself with relief.

When Ko stopped speaking, nothing but silence filled the air. This silence lasted for several minutes, until...

"Oh no, where is Miss Kokoa Wee!?" He wondered aloud, flying down to where he had last seen her at.

"She was right here last time I saw her, where did she go Wee!?" He then began whipping his tiny spherical body back and forth, searching the area for her or a sign of her presence.

"Where are you Miss Kokoa, where are you, Wee!?" He began flying about frantically then, as he began to scour the grounds for his mistress.

---

After that embarrassing talk with Yukari's parents, the evening went considerably smoother for the short time that followed. Tsukune, Tamanori and Fujiko got along famously, Yukari couldn't be happier that her lover seemed so at ease around her family, and Ruby's presence, that is the presence of another of the ghoul's lovers, did absolutely nothing to impede the bonding that was occurring. In fact, her rare to appear artfully hidden cunning side came out to play, as she picked at certain parts of the conversation to focus specific attention on her master, painting him in the wonderfully delightful light that his girls always saw him in. This had said male blushing and stuttering of course, trying to downplay this praise, but it was to no avail.

It seemed as if the night would be a relatively lovely one compared to recent events, but this chance was negated as another presence made itself know, and in a very spectacular way.

Every person, all witches and warlocks alike, the one ghoul present not excluded, had their eyes beckoned to an incredible sight taking place off to their subjective right.

This sight? Part of the deceased forest glowing brightly with a darkly tinted purple light, which most of them recognized as magical energy. Said energy segregated a small portion of this dead and black forest, the portion just big enough to hold a dozen or so individuals within it, as it began to, what seemed like, revitalize the perished nature.

All present were overawed as the black bark of a dozen trees began to lighten into a warm brown, and the lifeless grey of the leaves of said trees became a lively green, the life of the targeted flora renewed before their very eyes. So captivated with this were they, that they almost failed to noticed the three individuals approaching them.

The first and most imposing of the three was a man who appeared to be in his early thirties, stood at six foot four, had a broad and somewhat muscular build, fair skin, dark brown eyes, so dark they almost looked black, and waist length black hair with shoulder length bangs framing the sides of his face. His attire consisted of a black high collared, long sleeve mantle that split down the lower half, a pair of gloves of similar color, a pair of somewhat loose fitting black trousers and some black combat boots, decking him in the color black completely. The exception to this is what he wore over it all, crimson colored armor that consisted of several metal plates that formed protective guards along his chest, waist, shoulders and thighs.

The second of the three was a man who appeared to be in his early twenties, stood at five nine, had an average build, light skin, purple eyes and short messy brown hair. As for his clothing, he wore a long sleeve brown shirt, a pair of black nondescript pants, some brown hiking boots and sleeveless as well as hoodless black cloak to top it all off.

The third and final of the three was a woman who appeared to be in her late twenties, stood at five eight, had a slim and curvaceous figure, tanned skin, light green eyes and mid-back length green hair. Her apparel was made up of a short sleeve form fitting black shirt, tight black jeans with a black and green belt, similarly colored boots and a sleeveless as well as hoodless black cloak over it all.

What really made them stand out though, was that the first one, the one with the armor, had his arms extended outward with his hands open and his palms facing up, said palms glowing with the same darkly tinted purple energy that was currently resurrecting part of the long gone forest. He was the one bringing it back to life.

It was unbelievable. No one had ever seen any magical being, witch or warlock, bring the dead back to life. Even if it was flora, which they had come to find was much more within the realm of possibility of being revived than their fellow monsters, it was still near unfathomable. The only one who had ever been capable of performing such a miracle was the long deceased Baba Yaga, who had been able to rejuvenate entire continents, or so the legends say.

For someone to replicate such a feat, even on such a miniature scale as this, was more than enough to indicate them as the great woman's descendant. And it seemed such a show of ability was to prove just such a thing, as the man lowered his hands at the same time the patch of forest finished coming to life, and spoke, proceeding with his introduction. "My name is Madara Yaga. And, as I'm sure you have no doubt surmised by now, I am the direct descendant of the all-powerful Baba Yaga." The man's deep voice resounded throughout the clearing, his tone projecting nothing but power and authority.

"I've heard the whispering and mutterings, 'What are we doing here? I mean, no one honestly expects Baba Yaga's descendant to actually show up, do they?', 'The descendant of Baba Yaga, what kind of joke is this?', 'This is just some kind of hoax, watch.'. I have come to tell you just how wrong you are. I am here, and you all know I'm exactly who I say I am." He went on to say.

No one argued with that, allowing him to continue uninterrupted. Even still, as he droned on, Yukari and Ruby recognized his voice as the one that had spoken through their wands. "Midnight is still almost three hours away, and I'm sure you are all anxious to find out what this is all about. Unfortunately, I cannot disclose such matters, not before the meeting of our kind begins. And I know that I have no particular authority over any of you, and I'm sure that is why some of you must feel so cross with me for inviting you the way I did, however, I urge you to stay regardless. Why you might ask? Because this bit of revitalization I have performed is trivial in relation to my ambition. This long dead paradise of ours is all but meaningless when compared to the goal I have in mind for all of witch and warlock kind...still, with the right preparations, I could bring it all back. Our peace and prosperity, our paradise. It could all be ours again."

Speechlessness was rampant among the humongous crowd, there having been hushed whispers and quiet mutterings going on for some time, until now that is. To promise such a thing...to bring back the paradise they had lost, he had everyone's undivided attention. As that had long been a dream of many a witch and warlock, and to be able to attain such a thing...it was all but unanimous, without anyone so much as talking to one and other, that they would do almost anything to see this happen.

Madara could see this, so allowed a grin to play at his face, as he came to the closing statement of the speech he had started after coming to a stop with his two companions. "It is your choice of course, as to whether to stay or not and listen to what I have to say." Pausing for a moment, he allowed his eyes to traverse the tens of thousands of his fellow magical kind, before saying his final word on the matter. "I trust you will make the right one." And just like that, the three proceeded to disappear, vanishing in the blink of an eye.

It was with that the crowd burst into electrified shouts and hollers, as well as excited conversations, and words of reverence for the now nowhere to be seen man, even in spite of the fact of how vague he had been. The only ones not involved in all this were Tsukune, Yukari, her parents and Ruby.

Tsukune wore a deep frown at all this. Not because he had any kind of problem with such a place being brought back to it's former glory, as he honestly though that would be just fantastic. A place for people to call home, monster or human, was a thing to celebrate. However, he didn't trust that man. Something was just off about him, though the ghoul was unsure as to what it was. Then there was the fact that he had called himself Madara, the same name that Elefica had spoken of having mentioned him. 'How could he possibly know who I am?' He wondered to himself. That same thought was also another strike against the armor wearing man, as anyone associated with Elefica was potential scum in the teen's eyes.

Tamanori and Fujiko, while very agreeable people, had also seemed to sense something off about the man. Not to say that they weren't willing to help him in his endeavor to restore their lost paradise, as they were. It was just that they felt his intentions weren't good ones, and that worried them.

Yukari couldn't claim to be some advocate of witch and warlock prosperity, or that she had always been working toward the betterment or advancement of her kind, as that wasn't who she was. Besides her mother and father, as well as Ruby, she had never even met another witch or warlock, the three pieces of filth that had tortured her lover exempt from this. So she had always been more concerned with the happiness of those around her, the ones she cared for and considered major parts of her life. Not to say that she didn't wish others happiness, as she had always wanted more people to be happy and get along, it's just that such a thing took second priority over those she knew and loved, as they were more important. Such a thing was only enforced by all bullying she experienced. Did she feel bad for feeling like this? Yes she did. That didn't change anything though.

So while she saw no problem with bringing these dead fields and plains back to life, and in fact wanted them to, so that her fellow magical beings could always have a safe place to go to, she doubted she would be participating in the act of revitalizing them. She had more important things to worry about after all, like Tsukune's and the rest of her friends well beings, and the threat that fairy tale posed to them.

Ruby felt conflicted on the matter. Her entire life she and her mistress had fought humans, so as to keep them from claiming Witch Hill, their own personal 'paradise'. As it had been her home, and they had never done anything wrong to the humans, she soon found herself hating them for their aggression and want of the land that they had no right to take. It was easy to stew in it, as outside of her mistress, she never had any contact with other people, witches and warlocks or no, day in and day out it was just the two of them. Her mistress's own hatred for the human beings only exacerbated the matter.

She had always told herself she was fighting for herself and all witch and warlock kind, and most importantly, for her mistress. That was why she had no problem taking the lives of the countless humans who invaded their territory. But then everything changed. With her mistress's life coming to an end, her outlook on life changed. She was still bitter towards humans and held no love for them, but she had come to realize that forcing her hatred of them on her protege, the girl she considered her daughter, was just as awful as the sins the humans had committed against witch and warlock kind.

With her death, Ruby had spiraled downward into madness, until she eventually hit the bottom so hard that everything flipped itself upside down. Her mind deceived itself, tricking her into believing her mistress was still alive. And that was the lie she would have lived for the rest of her life, if it hadn't been for Tsukune and the others. With their wake up call, she was forced to deal with her psychosis and overcome it. And she would always be grateful to them for that, Tsukune especially.

She would come to stay at their school and get to know them better, her extreme infatuation with Tsukune deepening into love, as he became her master. He had yet to accept such a title, however he hadn't declined it either, not truly. He was her everything now. Her lover, her master, her life. She would live for him and die for him, just as she did and would have for her former mistress. As his toy and servant, she had an obligation to act in his best interests at all times. And she now found that conflicting with the purpose she had lived most of her life for, the purpose her mistress had imparted upon her. To fight for her kind.

Which presented her with the choice. Did she choose to serve her mistress one last time and fulfill her deepest wish in creating a paradise for their kind where peace and prosperity would reign? Or did she remain faithful to her master and act upon his wishes, in turn turning her back on the task of revitalizing the Witching Fields?

To fully commit to one would require her to turn her back on the other, there was no getting around that. So, in a sense, she had to choose. Who meant more to her? Her mistress? Or her master? To make such a choice...it put her heart in a vice and her brain on overload. It also caused a swirl of emotions to bubble to the surface, as uncertainty and indecision gripped her.

Closing her eyes tight, she tried to vanquish all thought of this. She had no wish to have to partake in such a decision. And yet, she knew she would have to. Before the night ended, she would have to make a choice. The choice. Who meant more to her? "I never would have thought I'd ever have to make such a choice...it's not right. It just isn't right, to have to choose like this. And to have it thrown at me from out of nowhere...' She thought to herself.

Why did this have to be a choice? Why could she not simply do both? There wasn't anything that implicitly said she couldn't, however, that man...she knew, deep down, that he was the one they were after. He had to be. Who else but the direct descendant of Baba Yaga would be known as the greatest magic practitioner alive? Which meant he wanted Tsukune dead. 'To help that man would be to betray my master. But in not helping him, I betray my departed mistress.'

How does one make a choice between the two people they care about the most?

Suddenly she was snapped from her distressed state, as the feeling of a hand upon her face caused her eyes open, to see Tsukune caressing her cheek, concern in his eyes. "Are you okay Ruby?"

Despite the storm brewing beneath her skin, she managed a warm smile in return to his concern. "I'm fine Master. Thank you for showing concern for your pet."

"Hey now, that's why I don't like this whole master business. You talk about yourself as if you're some sub-being or some kind of property that I own. You're a living, breathing person Ruby. Your life and body are your own. I don't own them, nor are they owed to me." He made sure she looked him in the eyes as he whispered this to her. "My showing concern for you or taking care of you shouldn't be seen as something to be rewarded or praised. You should expect those things. You deserve them."

Ruby was filled with warmth at his words, said warmth almost drowning the ill feelings she felt over what she would have to do in the coming hours. 'He treats me so well...even though he doesn't have to. He could treat me however he likes and I would take it, I love him too much not too. And here I am, thinking of...' She couldn't finish that thought.

The witch's eyes glistened with unshed tears that wanted to come to the surface, as she moved her right hand up to cup one of her lover's cheeks, her smile widening as she did. "But that's the point. I love you with everything that I am...I want to show you that. You treat me so well, as if I was some kind of perfect woman-"

"You are perfect." He insisted, his vehemence almost overwhelming.

Her smile widened at that, he always did things like that. Her tears didn't fade though, said tears starting to fall as she recognized she had already made her decision long ago. 'Tsukune, it's always been Tsukune. Forgive me mistress.'

"See? You don't realize just how good to me you are, how good you are to all of us. Because you treat me like this, I can't help but want to give my all to you. Nothing in this world would make me happier than to be your pet, your toy. My body is for you and you alone, to use as you like. Don't you get it? I may not be property, but I do belong to you. You can do with me what you please, as nothing would bring me more pleasure than to be used for your pleasure. I live to serve you. All that's left is for you to finally accept your role as my master." Ruby elucidated.

"Ruby, I...I don't...I don't know what to say." He admitted, not sure how to respond. He didn't want her to feel like he owned her, but it was what she truly wanted, he could see it in her eyes, hear it in her voice. Mizore had spoken a similar statement, though with less emphasis on the master-slave relationship, and he had accepted her feelings on the matter, even if it was non-verbally. Wouldn't it be unfair to not do the same with Ruby? It wasn't like he particularly hated the idea, but he definitely wasn't an advocate for it, even if hearing them talk about it did give him goosebumps and send a tingle down his spine.

Perhaps, if he couldn't get them to see his way, then he could at least make them understand that he belonged to them as well?

Before he could think over such a thing, Ruby spoke once more. "Why?" She questioned him simply.

"I...I just want you to be happy. And I don't know if...if you'll really be happy with me. That goes for the rest of the girls as well. I want all of you to be happy. But can you really be happy with me? Especially like this?" He was referring to their peculiar multiple-partner relationship, as well as all the faults he would point out about himself, that the girls still refused to acknowledge, or passed off as not his fault at all.

For some reason he failed to see how identical their line of thinking was to his own concerning them.

"Tsukune..." Ruby began, thinking on how to portray to him that she and the rest of the girls would always be happy with him. She wasn't the fondest of the group when it came to sharing him, nor was she the one who hated it the most, but she did know how the other girls felt about him, she knew they loved him as much as she did. None of them would ever stop loving him, ever. She just wished she could make that apparent to him.

Unable to think of how to make him understand with just words, on both matters of the girls wanting to be with him and him being her master, the nineteen year old racked her brain for another way to get it across to him. As she did, she noticed Yukari out the corner of her eye, looking none too happy. What was wrong? It was almost immediately obvious to the young woman, as judging by the way she would look Tsukune's way every now and then, her eyes full of inquisitiveness and concern, it was safe to assume she was thinking on the incident that Elefica had apparently caused to occur. It was still very clearly bothering her.

That combined with the fact that Ruby had to prove to Tsukune that he was her true master and no one else would ever do, had the young woman taking her younger lover by the hand and saying, "Come with me."

Allowing his oldest lover to lead him, after she wiped away her tears, Tsukune followed her toward the now rejuvenated section of the once dead forest, after they had gone over to Yukari and taken her hand as well, telling her parents to excuse them as they did.

Yokai Academy, two days ago...

"Oh where is she, where is she, Wee!?" Ko wondered aloud, as he frantically flew about campus.

Having already checked both the boys and girls dorms, as well as most of school grounds, he was left with just the auditorium. Which he was currently flying toward, thick tears streaming down his spherical form.

"MISS KOKOA, WHERE ARE YOU WEE!?" He inquired slash shouted at the top of his lungs as he burst into, unknown to him until this point, what was the makeshift infirmary for all the injured students.

All eyes were on him then, staring at him with mixed expressions. Half the room was clearly bewildered and shocked by his sudden appearance and shouting, while the other half was annoyed and angered by it.

Turning his ball shaped body, discounting his wings, in every direction, he scanned the inside of the building for his mistress's presence, only to once more find nothing. "She's not here!? But this was my last hope! Oh Mistress, where are you Wee!?" He asked no one in particular pathetically.

It all too apparent to the faculty helping out in the makeshift infirmary, that being a short list comprising of Shizuka Nekonome, Kagome Ririko, Aspara and the ever elusive English Teacher Maki, as well as the headmaster himself, that the little bat would do nothing but continue to disturb the bedridden students, they knew one of them would have to take action.

"Looking for Kokoa?" Mikogami queried despite already knowing the answer, as he moved toward the hysterical little monster.

"Do you know where she is Wee!?" He questioned hopefully at that.

"I do. Would you like me to show you?" The dark lord asked.

"Yes please! I must be reunited with my Mistress, Wee!" He stated, his tears still free falling.

Because of his hood, the bat was unable to see the almost evil smirk that crossed his face at that. "Alright then." Without warning, he proceeded to snatch the bat out of the air, handling him roughly as he crossed the auditorium.

Taken off guard by this, Ko, of course, struggled. He was unable to come close to breaking free of the much older monster's grasp however. The rough treatment didn't last long though, as the headmaster came to a stop at the back of the building and opened one of the large windows. He then began winding up...

"Hey, hey, hey hey, hey hey hey! What are you doing, Wee!?" The bat questioned, eyes widening as a sudden crack of white, purple and black appeared in the air just outside, slowly opening up into hole that led into what appeared to be a vortex of purple and black energy.

"Sending you to where your mistress is, just like you wanted." Mikogami answered him, before throwing his body forward and releasing the little guy, sending him hurdling head long into said vortex.

"WEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" Ko cried in distress as he was sucked further into the vortex, in spite of the fact he was flapping his wings like crazy trying to get away and out of it.

His struggle came to a quick end, as the hole leading back out to Yokai academy closed up, locking him in the vortex and ensuring his passage to Kokoa's location.

And just like that Mikogami dusted his hands off, closed the window and returned to his position overlooking the students with Shizuka.

---

"What's going on? Why'd we come over here?" Yukari queried her older counterpart, as said woman let go of her hand.

Before Ruby could answer her though, both the younger witch and Tsukune were enthralled by the beauty that surrounded them, the three standing dead center in the small clearing spot of revived forest. Not only were the trees colored warm brown and lively green, but they just seemed to radiate life from them, a very real magical feel to them. So much so that it was almost palpable.

The two began to let their eyes roam the section of revitalized forest, the oldest of the group of the three joining them for a few moments as well, just as impressed by how serene and pretty it was as the other two. Their speechless appreciation of the once dead sliver of forest was quickly brought to an end by said oldest though, as she turned to the other two and answered her fellow witch's question from a moment ago. "We came here so that we could be alone with Tsukune, and finally talk about what happened with El." That was true, but what she didn't say was that she also had something to prove to him.

"What? Now isn't the time for that." Tsukune objected, caught somewhat off guard by this. "We should be focusing on that Madara guy. Something isn't right with this whole gathering he's set up, we all can see that."

"True. But going into an unknown situation with our minds preoccupied is dangerous and could get someone killed, so should be avoided if at all possible. That's why we need to clear the air." Ruby pointed out.

"I'm fine! It's nothing important, alright? The guy just spouted a bunch of bullshit and...and...it's just not important all right?" In spite of his insistence that it was nothing, the emotion in his voice said otherwise. For good reason too, as his skin crawled at everything the young warlock had said to him, and, in the darkest depths of his mind, he feared something in particular he had said. 'Aren't you the same as I am?'

"Tsukune..." His younger lover breathed his name with solicitude, her eyes on him at this point.

"Obviously it wasn't nothing Master, otherwise it wouldn't bother you so." The eldest of the three pointed out. "Besides, it's not just you that has something weighing heavily on their mind." She indicated her younger counterpart with her eyes as she said this.

"Yukari?" He queried, looking toward her as he did.

"I...I still really want to know why you acted like you did when I touched your hand." Yukari told him, answering his unasked question after a couple of seconds of silence. "It's been bothering me why you would jerk away from me like that. What possible reason could you have? I've been pondering that for close to an hour now and I'm still not any closer to finding an answer."

"Yukari I...I just...I can't..." He started but failed to form an actual sentence, not even wanting to bring it up, not only as a way to keep hiding the self loathing as well as the shame and guilt, but also to keep from exposing what the man had said about the young witch to the young witch.

"You said it wasn't my fault but...you were just sparing my feelings, weren't you? I really did do something to upset you, didn't I?" The thirteen year old inquired abashedly, her sorrow clear in her eyes.

"No! You didn't do anything wrong!" He exclaimed vehemently at her words, crouching so as to be eye level with her just like before. "It's me Yukari! It's always me..." He continued, lowering his head so that his eyes were level with the ground. "I'm the one who...who...who..." As he hesitated, tears began fighting their way to the surface as his ill feelings were allowed to flow, beginning to flood his body.

"Tsukune...just tell me. What's wrong?" The youngest of the three questioned him earnestly, just wanting to know what the problem was and how to solve it.

"I'm sorry." He muttered almost inaudibly as his tears began to slide down his face, images of that night warping and twisting in his mind, as he did what he had learned to do best, blame and demonize himself.

"What?" She asked, unsure if she had heard him right.

"I'm so sorry for what I did to you Yukari." He reiterated, raising his head so that he could look her in the eyes, his pain all too clear in both his eyes and his voice.

"Wha-what you did to me?" She repeated, her bewilderment clear. "Tsukune, I don't understand."

Ruby on the other hand, she finally understood. However, she did not intervene, choosing to stand back and simply let them resolve it themselves.

"I took advantage of you. I-I..." A few sobs emanated from him, breaking his sentence up even further. "I molest-" As he began to say that word, time seemed to almost slow down for the young girl, her eyes widening in horrid realization of what he was talking about.

"Don't you dare!" She shouted at him, the sound of which covered the loud resounding smack that echoed through the air as the palm of her hand met his face, cutting him off in the process.

Tsukune's shock was clear on his face at this action as he turned his head to look at her again, it having turned from the force of the slap. The cheek that had been struck was glowing a bright red, as he had been hit pretty hard, the teen's hand coming up to rest upon it, completely unable to process what had just happened.

"How could you say that!? How could you even think it!?" Yukari demanded of him, her outrage glaringly apparent as anger rolled off her in waves.

The seventeen year old was dumbstruck, unable to respond in the slightest, his mouth hanging open slightly in his stunned state.

"You did nothing wrong! You just did what I asked you to do! You didn't force me into anything!" She stated with heat.

The ghoul managed to form words then, his shock fading for the most part as he said, "Yukari, you...you're just a little girl. No matter what the circumstance, what I did to you...it was wrong. I-I...I hurt you." He finished his protest with a body racking sob, his shame evident.

"Dammit Tsukune, I'm not an invalid!" She proclaimed with a stamp of her foot, her anger rising. "I'm not some stupid little kid, despite what everyone else thinks! I can make my own decisions, no one has to make them for me! I wanted that! I wanted to be with you!"

"B-but-" His attempt to to object was cut off as the little witch continued.

"And hurt me!? You always treat me with nothing but kindness, love, tenderness and compassion! You're nothing but good to me! Anyone could see that you would never ever hurt me! So why can't you!?" She inquired with almost screaming level volume, closing her eyes tightly to keep the tears that stung her eyes from falling.

"Yukari..." His breath hitched as he said her name. "I-It's not that simple."

"Liar!" She yelled at him, throwing her body head long into his as she did, knocking him over and onto his back on to the ground, beginning to pummel his chest with her dainty hands that she curled into fists as she did. This also caused her witch's hat to be knocked off her head, as well as her wand to drop to the ground, having been holding it up until that point.

"I love you and you love me, that's all that matters remember!? Don't go back on what you said now!" She berated him as she continued to pound on his chest with her small fists, her tears having won out and begun streaming down her face at this point.

Rendered speechless by this little ball of fire once more, Tsukune failed to respond, or even react really. The teen only able to stare at his youngest lover in astonishment at her outburst.

Eventually she gave up on trying to beat some sense into him, as when her fists touched his chest again, they stayed there and uncurled so that the flat of her palms rested against his chest. She then proceeded to bury her face in his chest as well, so as to muffle her sobs.

It was at this point that the ghoul was able to find his voice once more. "Yukari, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to upset you so much." He told her, moving his hands to press her head closer to his chest and to rub her back soothingly. "I just...I just...I don't know. I guess...I guess I was just so mortified of ever hurting you, that I...that I convinced myself that I already had. After all, girls your age don't usually do...what we did. And the ones that do are...never mind." He backpedaled with a shake of his head.

"Our relationship isn't normal. It's abnormal. And that's not even counting the other girls. It's just so strange to me...to be with you, to be with all of you. I don't know what I'm doing half the time and I'm scared of messing up. I'm terrified of it actually. Because I...I don't want to lose you, any of you." He confessed shakily, his tears having stopped their flow, though his cheeks were still wet.

Yukari lifted her head at that, opening her eyes so that they could meet with her older lover's own.

"I love you all so much that I...I just couldn't live without you. I couldn't live without any of you." He further confessed, staring back at her just as she stared at him.

"I'm sorry I didn't take your feelings on the matter into account. I just...I was always taught what we did was wrong. And it basically is. I just have a hard time grasping that it's different with you. You aren't a little girl, at least not mentally. That makes you different. It's one of the things that makes you so unique." He remarked, bringing the hand that held the back of her head to her eyes to wipe her tears away.

"I don't know how long it'll take before it finally sinks in for me that you girls actually do love me, and that...and that you're mine, all mine. That you actually want to be mine. It's like...a dream come true doesn't do it justice. You girls are the best thing to ever happen to me in my life. You're what makes my life worth living. If it wasn't for all of you...I wouldn't even want to be alive." He professed honestly.

"Tsukune..." Yukari breathed his name with something that he had honestly never heard toward him before, reverence. While more of the girls than just Yukari felt about him in such a way, he had either not heard them speak of him like that, or missed the presence of it entirely when with them.

Ruby finally stepped in then, coming over to the two and crouching so that they were at least somewhat closer to being eye level. As she did her eyes caught her lover's as she looked down, beginning to speak as they did, "All we want is for you to be happy Master. So when you agonize over every little thing and torture yourself for what you might do wrong or what you think you've done wrong, which you haven't, then all you're doing is hurting us by hurting yourself." She explained to him, her voice as gentle as it always was with him.

Yukari nodded her head in agreement with her older counterpart's words.

Tsukune's eyes widened considerably as this was said to him, the implications of it hitting him like a sucker punch to the gut. "Girls, I...I'm sorry. I never meant to hurt you in anyway. I just...I'm me, pathetic loser Tsukune Aono. There isn't anything special about me, so I just don't understand how you could possibly love...someone like me."

"It's because you are who you are that we love you. I love you Tsukune, I love you so much." Yukari told him, sniffling as she did, her emotions running high just like his were.

He didn't get the chance to reply as the young witch pressed her lips against his, kissing him into silence. And Ruby, who was right there beside them, simply smiled as her fellow witch did this.

The kiss lasted for a handful of moments, before the hatless witch pulled back, so as to allow the both of them to catch their breath. And as they did, the younger of the two looked toward the one who was older than both of them's way, their eyes meeting. As their colored orbs met, the two seemed to partake of a silent exchange.

Once said exchanged seemed to end, the older of the two witches leaned in and whispered something to the younger of the two. She nodded her head in agreement, then looked back down at Tsukune, who she still straddled the abdomen of and leaned down to kiss him once more. As she did he put up no resistance, despite the fact that they weren't alone.

When the second kiss broke, she proceeded to say, "Tsukune...take me."

"What?" Was his immediate response, sure he had heard wrong. Sure emotions were running rampant, but surely she hadn't actually said that. It's for sure that she hadn't...right?

"I want you to take me." She repeated shamelessly.

"Here? Now? Outside?" He questioned incredulously. "W-What about Ruby?"

"I'll be participating." She answered for herself with a sexy wink.

"What!?" He repeated his original response in a croaked whisper, barely managing to not have his voice catch in his throat at what was being proposed.

Neither wavered as the idea set in. "You're serious!?" He said, it being more of a statement than a question, having looked in both of their eyes to see that they were indeed serious.

"A-And you're both okay with this!?" He questioned, his disbelief more than evident.

They simply nodded their heads at that.

Tsukune began shaking his head then. "No way, that is a bad idea, a really bad idea!"

"We just want to show you that we love you and that we'd do anything for you. What's wrong with that Master?" Ruby queried with a mischievous smile.

"Besides..." She continued. "You've always known that Yukari is bisexual. It was only a matter of time before something like this happened." Ruby pointed out. "She wants this just as much as I'm sure you do."

That certainly wasn't not true the teen would admit to himself, as the idea of a threesome with two of the girls was...well, to call it titillating would be an major understatement. But he had been sure that it would remain just a fantasy, as he had never intended to ever bring it up. And regarding Yukari and Moka, well, he had never really thought about it to be honest, as the young girl hadn't really mentioned her desire to sleep with Moka in a very long time.

"R-really Yukari, do you want this?" The brown haired teen inquired.

"Uh-huh." She confirmed with a nod of her head, the tomato shade of red that consumed her face showing that she was far from actually being shameless.

"B-But, I don't understand. If you're experimenting, wouldn't you rather be alone with whoever you wanted to do so with? I-I mean, why would you want me there?" He was grasping at straws at this point, even if they were a tiny bit legitimate.

"Because you'd like it, and...well, I always want to be with you. I still want to be with Moka like that, but only if you're there too. I won't do it if you're not there with me." She admitted. "As for why now, with Ruby...because she understands me, like you do. Moka's never liked me that way and I don't think she ever will. Ruby said she doesn't mind though, and if Moka ever does decide she wants to be with us both at the same time, I want to know how to make her feel good like you do for me. I also want to know how to make you feel good too, besides just...ya know." Her entire head was colored the darkest crimson in history at this point. "And Ruby said she would help me with that too." She added, looking rather mousy at this point, like she just wanted to hide herself away behind the first thing she could.

Tsukune was of a similar color, not to mention that even more red ran across his face as blood trickled from his nostrils. He tried to reply to this as he wiped the blood away, but he was a stuttering mess and therefor his words were completely unintelligible.

"Shush." Ruby told her younger lover, putting her index finger to his lips as she quieted him, placing her wand to the side as she did, beside her fellow witch's. "Just lay back and let your toy teach her sister in love how to pleasure our Master."

"O-ou-our?" Tsukune managed to squeak out.

At that Ruby glanced at Yukari, who lowered her head and proceeded to say, "I want to please you Master."

The seventeen year old went on to make a strangled noise of shock and arousal, which was supposed to originally have been words but ended up being far from it. He wasn't able to say it, obviously, but it was clear to him that they had apparently talked about this quite extensively. Question was, when?

"Now..." Ruby started, taking hold of her and her counterpart's shared lover's pants and pulling them down, his boxers following shortly after. "Let's get started." There was no need to wait, as they had already aroused him with what they had been saying.

Tsukune eeped as his manhood was exposed to the slight chilly air, reaching down to try and pull his pants and boxers back up as he did. He was unsuccessful, as his older lover kept them from his grasp and scolded him for trying to do this.

Yukari, eager to please, climbed off of Tsukune's chest while he fought to get ahold of his pants, and got to her knees beside his waist, leaned down and took him into her mouth, eliciting a hiss of pleasure from the teen in doing so and bringing an end to his resistance on the matter.

The young girl began bobbing her head enthusiastically, performing the task with gusto despite this being her first time doing so, wanting to make her lover feel as good as possible. Even still, she found herself facing quite a bit of difficulty thanks to her inexperience, which prompted her elder counterpart to get in on the action and begin teaching her all the methods to bring their boyfriend pleasure, just as she had said she would, starting with the oral field first of course.

As the brown haired beauty instructed her fellow witch, teaching her the correct way to do this and that either by explaining how or demonstrating, the target of their ministrations, who at this point could only lay back and watch as this happened, held fistfuls of grass as pleasure flowed through him. His objections from before were, obviously, dead at this point. Though he was now wondering how Ruby knew all this stuff.

Yukari dutifully did everything her fellow witch instructed her to, doing her absolute best simply so that she could show her lover she would do anything for him. And If the ghoul thought it couldn't get any better, he was proven wrong.

"Here, let me help you." The nineteen year old said, her tone exuding sexuality, then went on to take hold of the sides of Yukari's head and push her down till she took the entire thing, evoking a muffled cry of surprise from the young girl as she did.

"Holy fuck!" Tsukune cursed as he threw his head back, ecstasy surging through his body at the feeling of being inside his youngest lover's throat. This feeling would only increase as she gagged slightly, squeezing him in the process.

"This is called deep-throating." The elder witch informed the younger one. "And this..." She began, as she pulled the dark haired girl's head back up, before pushing it back down till she took Tsukune all the way down again. "Is called a facefuck." At that she began to repeat the process of pulling her up and pushing her back down.

The dark haired girl actively chose not to fight back against Ruby's rough treatment, the older girl pulling her back up and then pushing her back down, making her take it all the way down again. Why didn't she? Because of three reasons. The first, she had been warned long beforehand something like this would happen by the same witch who was manually using her to please their shared lover, which was why she had been training to ignore her gag reflex. The second, judging by the sounds he was making, Tsukune was clearly enjoying this greatly, and she would do anything to please him. Third...well, strangely enough, she was starting to get off on it.

When Ruby was later asked how she knew this stuff as well as all the stuff she would teach her younger counterpart afterward, she would reply that it's a long story. Truthfully though, it could be summed up in three words. Kyouko. Internet. Porn.

"Looks like your spell was broken a few moments ago, no surprise there." Madara remarked snidely.

Elefica frowned at the man's words. "Oh yeah? Well I'd like to see you try and do better." He shot back.

"Are you trying to suggest that you're magic is stronger than mine?" The long haired warlock queried with a quirked brow, an amused grin forming on his face.

"No Sir." Was the younger warlock's forced reply through grit teeth, knowing better than to show too much disrespect, lest he lose his life. "What I meant was that anyone who wants to try and perform a mind-altering spell on him is doomed to fail, simply because how stacked the deck is against them. First, he managed to overcome the charms of a decently strong succubus, one of his current lovers actually, when he was still just a human. Considering who's daughter she is...well, it's a bit impressive. Because of that alone he's had a slight resistance to mind-alteration, but add on to that, the fact that he was exposed to Morrigan's charm has also bolstered his resistance exponentially. Finally, the Shinso blood that flows through his veins is the ultimate immunity to mind-altering techniques. While he doesn't have full control or even constant access to the power it grants him, which makes him more susceptible to mind-altercation spells and charms, it means very little over all as the blood still protects him from those things despite it's offered immunity being unavailable to him. In short, he's all but impervious to such charms or spells." His frown had evolved into a deep scowl at this point.

"Is that so? Then how exactly did you manage to cast your spell?" The raven haired thirty something questioned.

"Because I didn't try and control his thoughts, nor did I try to implant new ones. I simply focused on the deep seeded feeling of guilt he held and brought it to the surface, making it where he had to focus on that emotion. He still had free thought and could have very well pushed the feeling of guilt aside, however, the fact that he didn't just proves that he couldn't. He doesn't seem to be the kind of person who can ignore such negative feelings because of their happiness or because they won't deal with it cause of not wanting to. Which in this case made him incapable of ridding himself of the guilt and whatever other emotions accompanied it until he dealt with them." El explained to his superior.

"Sounds an awful lot like a convenient excuse to me." Was the older man's response. "However, I will give you the benefit of the doubt and take you at your word."

"Oh thank you so very much." Elefica spat, his sarcasm so copious that it was almost palpable.

As the two had their back and forth inside the dark chamber, the other two present, the man and woman with Madara from before, simply stood aside from them, waiting for orders while not getting involved in the squabble.

---

Halfway through the list of things Ruby had intended to teach her younger counterpart, all sense of instruction was thrown out the window. Proof of this was the fact that said woman who had supposed to be teaching, was now sitting in the grass with her skirt pulled up and was masturbating. The scene she was getting off on watching? The sight of Tsukune sitting up with his back against a tree as Yukari rode him, bouncing up and down with desperate need, the young witch squealing in pleasure as she did, so very close to orgasm. He wasn't far behind either judging by his grunts and groans, and since that was the case, she had only a minute at most to get him to do what she wanted him to.

"Tsukune...bite me." She told him.

"What!?" He questioned her, his eyes widening to the extreme at her words

"Take my blood." She reiterated, her voice strained by the pleasure that flowed freely through her.

"How did you even-" He started but was cut off. "Mizore...Mizore told me." She informed him. "Want...I want it. I want you to do it to me too." She explained. "I want you to do everything to me." She added, lust and love both oozing from her tone.

"Yukari no, I don't want-" He tried to protest, as unlike with Kokoa and Mizore he wasn't dying or close to death, he was just fine. He had never wanted to feed on any of the girls in the first place, the thought of causing them pain in any way heart breaking to him. Just breaking their hymens had him feeling like the lowest of the low, even though most of them handled the discomfort far better than any other girl could. And to do such a thing in the middle of being intimate with one of them...

"Drink my blood, please." She begged him breathlessly, not willing to stop her bouncing to debate the matter with him, or anything else for that matter.

Tsukune, ever the push over when it came to the girls, was unable to deny her as she leaned in closer and presented her neck to him, closing her eyes as she did. Hating himself for it, he gave in, as he suddenly felt the urge to feed roar to life and his holy lock glowed for a moment, his fangs growing in. Bringing his lips to the side of her neck, he proceeded to bury his fangs into her soft flesh and drink his fill of her sweet blood.

The sudden flash of pain sent the young girl over the edge, throwing her head back as she cried out her lover's name in pure ecstasy, which in turn caused him to come to a finish as well, doing so inside her.

The Witching Fields, present day...

"WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" Ko screeched as he came swirling/tumbling/flying out of the space-time rift, floundering about as he plummeted toward the ground, disoriented and unable to catch himself.

After several seconds of struggling, coming far too close to splattering on the ground as he did, the little bat managed to right himself and use his wings to force himself upward a couple of inches, taking flight after another few flaps and preventing the impact from occurring.

"Whoa, what the hell was that all about, Wee!?" The tiny monster inquired as he caught his breath, panting at this point, steadying himself and ascending higher into the air to get a look a round and get a bearing for his surroundings.

"More importantly, where the hell am I Wee!?" He inquired further, despite the fact there was no one around to answer him, as he reached a certain altitude, which allowed him to see a good chunk of the area around him. 'Everything is dead and grey...Wee...' He thought to himself as he took in the terrain.

"Where does that bastard get off throwing me into a swirling vortex of terror like that Wee!?" Ko suddenly questioned, his ire flaring up. "I'm not some plaything for him to toss about dammit Wee!" He said with confidence, despite the fact that he knew all too well he wouldn't do a damn thing or even say a damn thing when he got back.

He would continue to rant about how he was a monster too and not just some toy for a minute or so, until a particular noise caught his attention. "Huh? What was that, Wee?" He wondered aloud.

As he heard it for a second time, he remarked to himself, "Sounds like a woman, Wee."

After he heard the noise for a third time, he decided, "Guess I might as well go check it out, Wee."

With that he flew off in the direction of where the noise emanated from.

---

At her own behest, Ruby was now restrained, tree roots wrapped tightly around her wrists and ankles, her limbs splayed out and extended while her body dangled a measly three feet off the ground. All in all, she was completely helpless and at the mercy of Tsukune, just as she had always wanted. As for how she was in this position, well, a little spell called Root Control.

"Now...take me." She began, craning her neck to look behind her at her lover. "Claim your title as my Master and use your toy anyway you wish." She told him, her lust and need all too clear.

However, Tsukune was still hesitant. He needn't say it, as his posture did so for him. He wasn't sure, even in spite of how much she had made it clear to him that nothing would make her happier than to be his servant, his toy, his slave. Why? Simply because to be her master meant she had to subservient to him in every way, to put his needs above her own and just overall revere him. That didn't sit right with him for a multitude of reasons, the most important of which was that she would treat his needs as more important than her own. She and the rest of the girls were the most important thing in the world to him, their wants and needs took precedence over everything else.

Yes, Yukari had called him master. But it had become rather clear it was more of a kink for both him and her to enjoy, which seemed more than likely that it was suggested by her fellow witch. When it came to Ruby though, it was far more than that. She had proven time and time again that when she called him master it wasn't a term of endearment or a way to arouse him, which it never had...for the most part, until today anyway. No, when she said it, she really meant it. She wanted to live her life for him, serve him in every way, she wanted the real deal.

"I'm sorry Ruby but...I can't. I just...I just can't." He didn't ever want to hurt her, but he couldn't do this. He couldn't do that to her. "You the servant and me the master...that's not what I want. I don't want to be placed above you, I don't want you to take care of me and treat me like I'm somehow better than you. You deserve better than that, so much better. I don't want some slave to control and boss around, I want you. So I...I just can't be your master." He elaborated, shaking his head as he did.

"Tsukune...that's not what being my master means, it's not about control. To be my master means that you accept me as your lover, your best friend, you confident, your dutiful servant, your pet, your sex toy, your everything. That's all I want Tsukune, I just want to be your everything. To be my master is to love me for everything I can be to you. So please, please Tsukune, be my master." She pleaded with him, the lust gone from her, only her desperate need to be his showing through.

She had been pining and obsessing over this for almost two years now, it was all she wanted and wished for in the world. That was all too apparent at this point. And how could Tsukune deny her that?

Some apprehension remained, and probably always would, even still, he could no longer fight her on this. And it seemed Yukari agreed, as she gave him a gentle push forward from behind, causing him to stumble forward slightly. Looking back at her, she simply smiled at him, letting him know that not only did she approve, she encouraged it.

His eyes remained on her for a few more moments, before he finally gave confirmation that he was giving in. "Alright, you win." With that he turned back towards the bound Ruby, who was smiling with unadulterated elation, her eyes filled with the joy she felt, tears of happiness rolling down her face. "Thank you Tsukune."

Her gratitude didn't help the apprehension at all, but the happiness she was clearly feeling did assuage his worries over whether he was making the right decision or not as he came around to her face, beginning to wipe her tears away. "Okay Yukari, cancel the spell." He told her, as he finished wiping away his oldest lover's tears.

"No." Ruby said before her counterpart could do as she was told. "I still want this. I want you to finally to perform your first act as my master and use my body for your pleasure." She told him.

"Ruby-" Tsukune started but was cut off by the same woman he was attempting to address. "Master, I beg of you, my body is yours, so use it. I don't care how, take me any way you choose. Just take me. I want to please you." She implored him, her voice husky and consumed with the overwhelming need she felt.

It wasn't that the idea didn't appeal to him, because it did, oh did it ever. It was that his first concern was comforting her. He had intended to get her down and hold her and then, if she wanted, he would have made love to her after she had calmed down a little, since she had yet to get her turn. To take her like this while she was defenseless and had just been crying a moment ago, well, it just seemed wrong to him. However, if she wanted it this way so bad...

"Okay." He agreed, crouching so he could be eye level with her and taking her face in his hands so that he could kiss her.

This kiss lasted almost half a minute, as the older woman reincorporated with passion, before the two pulled apart, panting slightly from lack of air. And as the two caught their breath, the nineteen year old presented her neck to him and said, "Start with this, drink your fill. I live to serve you and fulfill all your needs, including this one."

He wanted to protest, but knew it was pointless at this point so did as she bid. "Fine." His holy lock glowing for a moment, his fangs appeared and he buried them in the side of her neck, beginning to drink of her life essence. And, as he had anticipated, the older woman moaned at the flash of pain that she experienced at having his fangs puncture her flesh.

Yukari stayed back as her lover fed from her older counterpart, now sitting with her back to the closest tree to them that would allow her to be there without being in their way. Her fellow witch had allowed her some time with just her and Tsukune, and now she would do the same. Furthermore, she was all too eager to see their act of fornication, not that she would admit that to anyone but the two people currently in the vicinity.

When Tsukune pulled away, having finished feeding, Ruby moaned once more at the feel of his fangs leaving her flesh. As she did, the ghoul remained prone, his eyes locked with hers, simply pausing to try and keep himself under control. Instinct was kicking in and lust was clouding his mind, even still, he snapped himself out of it, his fangs receding as he shook his head.

Ruby had seen the signs of slight struggle, and knew he felt the urge to just ravish her just as she felt the urge to be ravished by him. "Do it." She spurred him on.

"Huh?" He replied, still a little addled by the double whammy instinct and lust had done to him.

"Don't hold yourself back. Do whatever you want to me. I want you to. I told you before, my body is yours to use however you like. I mean that, so do it. And don't be gentle about it either." She was being sincere, she really meant what she said, that was clear. Especially so considering the glint of lust in her eyes.

"Ruby, I don't want to hurt you." He told her, his eyes soft and his face marred by a concerned frown. "I'll be your master if that's what you want and I'll make love to you like this if that's what you want, but I can't bring myself to purposely hurt you. I don't get off on hurting people, and even if I did, I would never do it to any of you girls, I love you far too much to ever do that." He explained to her, his voice low so that only she could hear it.

"It's not about hurting me, it's about bringing you pleasure. I can handle it Master, I assure you. Just let yourself go and use me to sate your desires, I promise you won't regret it." As she promised him this, the heavy lust from before returned all at once, it almost exuding from her. "I'll enjoy whatever you do to me, you have my word." She reassured him, hoping against hope he would finally let loose. Not just for her sake, but his own. 'Always plagued with worries and fears, constantly struggling to protect all of us, combating an endless cycle of feeling inferior to everyone...he needs this as much as I do.'

He remained unsure, his frown not fading in the least. However, he had agreed to this and had already come this far...'Might as well go a little further right?' He thought to himself. Even still, the frown did not fade. "Fine. We'll try this your way, but if I do something you don't want me to-"

"You won't." She cut him off. "I don't care what you do, so long as you're the one doing it. As long as it's you...I want it." That was quite the guarantee, but she could back it up.

The ghoul's eyes narrowed slightly at that, scrutinizing her, looking for the slightest hint of doubt or uncertainty, hoping to latch onto it so that he could diffuse this disaster that was waiting to happen, or at least he saw it as such. Unfortunately, to him anyway, he was unable to find any, so with a sigh, he begrudgingly said once more, "Okay."

Yukari watched with rapt attention as Tsukune stood up, walked around behind Ruby and dropped his pants, which he had put back on after finishing with her, having done so since he didn't like to be exposed out in the open. He went on to push up her long skirt, pull down her panties and sheath himself inside her.

As the two began to copulate, moans and groans once more filled the almost circular area of the recently revived small chunk of forest, though none of the three paid any heed to the thought of attracting attention, since the massive group of witches and warlocks were still loudly discussing matters, and the fact that they were a good deal of distance between them.

After a minute or so of the status quo when it came to sex, discounting the slight bondage, Ruby began prompting and down right goading Tsukune to do as he said he would and throw aside all inhibitions and let loose. He, as usual, gave in, pulling out and then proceeding to take the older woman's anal virginity, roughly as she had desired, eliciting a mixed cry of pleasure and pain from her in the form of, "MASTER!"

The ghoul grimaced at her shriek, as it felt like a punch in the face to hear her refer to him with pain in her voice like that, even if pleasure was also clearly present. However, at her insistence, he took her hard and fast, as she had fantasized about for so long. And despite himself, he began to lose himself in the act.

Unable to help herself, Yukari reached under her skirt and slipped a hand into her panties, beginning to finger herself to the sight of this. "Yes Tsukune, fuck her harder." She moaned to herself as she increased her tempo, just as her lover began to really let loose on Ruby, her face colored blood red at her own words despite being the one to say them.

"Whoa! Okay, we are definitely getting into scenes way too adult for our viewers, Wee!" Ko stated as he flew upon the scene, a good thirty or so feet in the air. Needless to say, he now knew what the noise he had been hearing was.

"Seriously, I've been gone for like three episodes, three and a half at most, and this shit happens Wee!?" The bat questioned exasperatedly. "I'd better not lose my job over this crap, Wee." He grumbled quietly to himself.

"You guys aren't allowed to see this stuff, Wee! So shoo, shoo! Wee! Go check on the others! Or don't, I don't care! You can go wherever you want, but the fact of the matter is that you can't stay here, Wee!" Ko cried as he flapped about crazily.

---

Gin, who had sat down with the others at this point, shot to his feet suddenly, his eyes open and alert. As he did this, Kyouko asked the obvious question, "What is it?"

"My pervert sense is tingling." He answered.

"Your what sense?" Deshiko queried from a few feet away, one of her brows quirked as she did.

"Pervert sense? What might that be, exactly?" Fang Fang inquired, it clear that he was being genuine with it rather than being sarcastic by the curiosity in his tone.

"Pervert sense? Mind explaining that one to me?" Vladimir asked of the werewolf.

"Ignore him, he's just being stupid." Kurumu commented with a dismissive wave.

"More like he's being a pervert, as the title pervert sense implies." Ling Ling remarked.

"Oh yeah? I'll have you know that my pervert sense is always a hundred percent accurate. Furthermore, it has a very wide range, able to pick up the smallest sexual activity within ten miles. And it has even more range the dirtier they get." He elucidated at Kurumu's words, ignoring Ling Ling's as he did.

"Oh really?" Mizore queried with boredom in her tone, rolling her eyes as she did.

"You doubt me? I'll have you know that thanks to this sixth sense of mine, that I knew the exact time each of you slept with Tsukune. Hell, I can recite the date and time as well as the length of the session." He told them, no sense of satire discernible in his tone once so ever.

"You...you're actually serious, aren't you?" Deshiko questioned, her brow back to it's original position and incredulous of this claim of the werewolf's.

"Okay, so if you can sense that kind of stuff, how can you tell who's with who?" Kyouko put forth a good question.

"Oh, well...you see I..." Gin chuckled nervously at that, beginning to rub the back of his neck because of said nervousness, obviously not expecting to have to answer that. "I can't exactly."

"So you're just shooting off at the mouth at this point, aren't you?" Moka spoke up then, finally putting herself in the conversation.

"No, not really. It's just that...well, for some weird reason, heh, it only goes off when it's one of you girls. Strange huh?" He told them with some more nervous chuckles, only now realizing how dead he was for telling them of this. 'In hindsight, I should have kept my damn mouth shut.' He thought to himself.

Said girls that he spoke of, Moka, Kokoa, Kurumu and Mizore, all had quirked brows at this point, obviously debating whether to take this as some kind of stupid joke or, as the werewolf feared, kill him for having such a sense.

Kyouko, who seemed to be the only female of the group who didn't hold any kind of negative feeling for him on this matter, continued to question him on the matter, obviously as curious if not more so than Fang Fang. She also seemed to be amused by the whole thing. "Okay, if that's the case, which one is it getting it on with my cousin then? Pony Tails or Witch Hat?" Her wide smirk seemed to get Gin's mind off how dead he was.

"That's easy, it's definitely Ruby." He replied with confidence.

"Screw it, I'll be the one to ask it. How do you know that for sure?" Vladimir joined in the questioning.

"Oh, that's simple. I can't pick Yukari up with the sense, so it's gotta be Ruby."

"And why is that?" Fang Fang asked.

"She's a little too young for my taste." Gin replied without thinking.

He quickly realized his mistake though, as such a statement only worsened his situation. Proof of this came in the form of Kokoa, "So what you're basically saying is that you've been spying on us during our alone time with Tsukune?" Her anger was clear, as was her irritation. She hadn't blown up yet, but he only had a few seconds to prevent it from happening.

"No! No, that's not what it means at all! I just know when it's happening is all!" He insisted, putting his hands out in front of him and shaking them in a I didn't do it gesture. "You girls would kill me if I tried to peek like that, I know that! Hell Tsukune would probably kill me first!"

As he continued to try and convince the now angry vampire, as well as the other three steadily growing aggravated girls, that he didn't use said sixth sense, dubbed as his pervert sense, to peak on them, he continued to shove his foot in his mouth and get their ire riled up even further. Basically he was just hurting himself with every word that he spoke.

Eventually, Vladimir was unable to take it anymore. "Look Gin, you done fucked up. Want my advice? Start running." He told the eighteen year old as he came to his side and placed a hand on his shoulder. "Because if you don't, well...you're going to die." He informed him, gesturing to the four girls that were present and were also apart of Tsukune's harem who clearly had murder on the brain, judging by the way they were all glaring at the teen, as he did.

Gulping down his fear, Gin readily agreed. "Right."

And with that he turned and took off, four very angry females following after him as he did. This left Vladimir and Kyouko laughing their asses off, Deshiko shaking her head, Ling Ling rolling her eyes and Fang Fang pondering this pervert sense, as he still had a multitude of questions regarding it.

To be continued...

Now then, any and all haters/flamers who just read this chapter and have some nasty comments to give, let's keep this between you and me. So, in that regard, I have four words for ya, "Come at me bro." XD
