lordrednight: Ya liked that did ya? Good, I'm glad you did. Poor Gin though. XD

Thank you. You think so? I certainly tried my best, though I'm not sure how much I accomplished. Happy that you think I did it some justice though. And yeah, I'd agree with you on the whole of what you said for sure. But ya know society, it can be...well petulant to say the very least. But that's a topic for another day.

I wouldn't really call them lemons, as I've read several and...yeah, much more detail oriented. They were definitely written to arouse, while mine, well they were meant to be somewhat provocative, but really were there for, as I said before, character development, plot reasons and bonding between the three participants. But you know...whatever. Yeah, that was one of the main points of the scenes, Ruby's master fixation. I think I did a fairly decent job in fleshing out that side of her, at least I think so. But hey, the hell do I know right? XP Oh you'd be surprised how many people will go into a story just looking for something to hate on and flame or bash or whatever. I've seen it first hand. Thankfully though, it's only happened to me personally like once.

Ah, an Elder Scrolls fan. You sons a bitches are the bane of my existence-yeah, no, I'm kidding. :P My best friend in the whole world is a huge Elder Scrolls fan, so I'm not entirely ignorant of the series. He even got me to agree to get a copy of Skyrim when it comes out on PS4 this October. Admittedly I had toyed with the game itself on PS3 a bit and found it mildly interesting, but for some reason I never really got into it. And I know it's not because of the genre, because I love Dragon Age to death...I know they're not all that similar, but still...anyway, I'm getting off topic. As to answer your question about bringing a dragon in, yeah actually, I have two dragons planned. No though, neither of them will be apart of Tsukune's harem, as there will be no further additions to it, as I've stated before. Seven girls is the maximum...for this story that is. ;)

Thank you, I'm happy you like it and I'm even happier that you're looking forward to more. Yeah, no, don't worry. I doubt anyone blames you for wanting Elefica dead, as that guy is just absolute scum, no ifs ands or buts about that.

jm121212121: Yeah, no argument there. Ruby is the biggest sexual deviant you've ever read about? Wow, that's...unexpected. I'm serious when I say that I've read fics with people that make her look like the virgin Mary, so...yeah, she's pretty tame overall in my book. XD Skipping over the elephant huh? Well alright then. To your intuition that there's more to El than meets the eye...well it depends on what you mean. Power wise he's stronger than Kuyo, from the season one finale that is, as everyone in a higher position than Raiden, who was roughly equal with Kuyo from back then, is stronger than that. Raiden was the fourth subdivision leader and El is the third subdivision leader, so the power gap is plain to see. How big that power gap is though, that's debatable. A hint for you, a good indicator of what a subdivision leader in fairy tale is like is who their superior is, as in Kazuma was Hikaru's superior, as the former was the seventh division leader while the latter was the seventh subdivision leader. Another example, Raiden was the direct subordinate of Madara, the two being the fourth subdivision and fourth division leaders respectively. So...yeah, take from that what you will.

Yeah, Tsukune has resistance to mind altercation for a multitude of reasons, which El listed. Read into the comment about Ageha, Kurumu's mother, however you want. All I'm saying on the matter is that El recognizes how strong the woman is, as full power coming to kill I'd reckon she's...hmm...roughly equal to the second subdivision leader in strength and combat ability. Admittedly I haven't shown you guys who the second subdivision leader is, but isn't the fact that whoever it is is the direct subordinate of Aqua tell you enough? Yeah, I decided to add that last minute, glad everyone seemed to like it. Regarding Kyouko...yeah, probably not. I'm pretty sure she's gonna stay human.

keithallen: Yeah, that's a fair choice. I enjoy writing that as well. Believe me when I say that there is plenty more character development to come. And if you think that's tough on Tsukune...oh man, you have no idea. Just you wait. :D

cy9224: Thanks a lot! Why you ask? I don't know, maybe the world's just against him and wants to keep him from getting laid ever. More seriously though, it just hasn't worked itself into the story yet, although I'm a hundred percent sure it will eventually. I'm pretty sure everyone knows he's going to be drinking Kurumu's blood at this point so...yeah, don't worry, he'll definitely be drinking her blood. As for the black marks, it's actually one big mark, so no it's not Tsukune's fang marks, it's something else. As for what, well you'll just have to wait and find out.

IdiAmeanDada: Thank you very much. Good, I'm glad to hear that. I was more than a little worried over the whole thing, especially after what you had said, but it looks like it worked out in the end, so yay! :)

SupernalGodzilla: Yep, big time.

Again, yep.

Thank you!

Br00klynb0y96: There's no need to apologize, it's perfectly okay. It's not like you owe me reviews or anything. I am glad that you finally got to review again though, as I was wondering where you went, and I, of course, love reviews. Ones that are longer than three words and actually have a bit of substance anyway...which are the type I've been receiving lately, so, hooray! Yeah, things have a tendency to pile up and can more often that not make you forget certain small things you need/want to do. It's certainly happen to me before. So yeah, don't worry. Real life always comes first, I know that. No worries.

I'm glad he has too. As for not seeing her as naive child...well he does now see her as a lover first and foremost, but it will probably take a long time before he can disassociate the word kid with her. Especially with how protective he is. You did? Cool. Yeah, Ruby does have a habit of that I suppose. And honestly, it was because of the context that she didn't do it again. With the life she lived with her mistress, it was hard for her to come to a snap decision when the scales were tipping and all. Well, I wouldn't say I'm a master, but uh, thanks a lot. I really appreciate the compliment. :)

I wouldn't say it was lemon though...but everyone sees things differently I guess. Thank you for your kind words regardless though. Yeah, I enjoy the interactions between Tsukune and his lover's parents also. Believe me, I have plenty more planned. That, of course, includes Ageha, so don't you worry about that my friend. No actually, I have not seen High School DxD, so I have no clue who this Astaroth guy is. You're saying El is somewhat like him? Might need to look the guy up then. I'll probably do it after I've put this chapter/part episode up.

Well it's not hard to make someone hate El, he's rather easy to hate. You guys loving Vladimir though, now that is something I consider an accomplishment. I usually don't hear much about him from anybody, with the rare exception every now and then. So I don't know who all loves Vladimir, but to those of you who do, I'm overjoyed. I hadn't originally planned on making him so important. He's not a main character, but he is definitely a major supporting character at this point. And that's a pretty big step up from his original minor character role he was supposed to take. He was introduced with the intention of being used to train Tsukune, but I hadn't even thought he might end up so integrated into Tsukune's little clique as he now is. One might even consider him a part of the ghoul's family at this point, like the girls and Gin. Fang Fang and Ling Ling as well I suppose, to a lesser degree. That'll change though.

Alright, I'm curious now. Everyone who's going to review, add in at the end of your review how you feel about Vladimir, if you don't mind that is. I'd like to know who loves him, who likes him, and who just downright hates the guy. And I know there's people who hate him, especially if they remember how much of a dick he was in the beginning.

Back on topic, yeah, Kokoa's mark has got several people all inquisitive and curious about what it is. You'll just have to wait to find out though pal. Hope you don't die waiting. :P Yeah, I bet you like the shorter waiting times. I know I sure would. Don't get too attached to them though, you never know when my stubborn head will flip on me and get me writing for something else. And again I tell you don't worry about it, it's fine. I shall do my best.

Now that my responses are done, let me tell you something. I found a song by Panic! At The Disco a few days ago that fits a certain character that's in Rosario Vampire. Or at least fits my version of them, my self dubbed anime version. Now this character hasn't been introduced yet in my story, but has been hinted at. I want to see if anyone can guess who it is. Why? Just for shits and giggles really. XD Warning, it will probably be very hard to guess. Unless you know a shit ton about Rosario Vampire and me as a writer that is. If you get it right, you get a cookie. Disclaimer: I have no actual cookies to give.

The song is Emperor's New Clothes. Good luck! :)

Another thing, I know, I know, I'm bombarding you guys with stuff, I'm sorry. Now, you know that thing called fanart...yeah, you do? Anyone mind drawing some of that for this story? Please? Pretty please? Pretty pretty please? No? Okay then. Was worth a shot. Moving on.

Oh yeah...six parts now instead of five. I know, I know. I'm sorry. Why am I making this one part longer, again? Better suspense, that's why. I wanted to cut this one and the one I almost have finished into two parts to make things oh so much more dramatic...so yeah. Sorry. :( Good news though is that the next part should be out in only a short few days from now. So long as everything goes according to plan that is...

As to why this one took so long...well, first of all I was unable to write for about a week and a half now. Second, and last of all, this part and the next part were supposed to be one whole thing, but I decided to separate them. Meaning this one will be short compared to the last two. The next part will be longer and will be out relatively soon though. Part six, the final part might take awhile though...as things are getting complicated on my end and I think I might need to write for another fandom soon. That annoys me to no end, especially so since my mind is still being continuously flooded for ideas for what I can do with Rosario Vampire...man, just you guys wait. I have got some gnarly/radical/extremely awesome stuff planned.

Alright then, onward to part four of chapter/episode nine of season four! Please read, review and enjoy.

"Midnight is close at hand. Kagura, Nathaniel, begin preparations." Madara ordered his subordinates.

"Right away." The two replied in unison.

As the two were whisked away by Madara's ability, that left only him and Elefica.

"I suppose you have a job for me as well?" The blue haired warlock questioned, his distaste for his superior not hidden in the slightest.

"Indeed I do." The dark haired man confirmed. "And I do believe it shall be to your taste as well."

"Oh goody." Elefica's sarcasm was off the charts at this point.

"You've made your distaste for this Tsukune known almost as much as you have for me, so I'm sure you'll be delighted to hear your assignment concerns the former human." The older one of the two informed the younger.

"I already told you, I can't control him. No one can. Not with the mental and energy resistance he has. And if you're sending me to kill him, well you're fucking stupid and I won't do it. I'm not going on some suicide mission, especially not for you." El spat.

Usually the only remaining Yaga alive would have forced the lower ranking man to reign his disrespect in at this point, in this case though, he would let it go. Simply for the matter that his plan was going smoothly, and that El could help it continue to do so. "Don't be absurd. I'm not the sort to send a hornet to kill a lion." El scowled deeply at that remark, as he was clearly the hornet. "I do however, need you to get him off balance. Fear, anger, panic, any of the three will do."

"Like I said, I can't use any spells like that on-" The cyan eyed twenty something began to object, only to be cut off. "I never said anything about using a spell, now did I?"

"Okay then, how do you propose I do it then?" El queried, taking a step back and crossing his arms across his chest as he did.

"Simple. You said that he was here with two of his lovers right?"

"Yeah, and?" His scowl had softened somewhat into a frown, as he wondered what his fellow warlock was thinking.

"If these two girls were just to simply...disappear, imagine how the former human would react." Madara suggested, an evil grin crossing his face.

"Oh, now I see. " The blue haired warlock's frown faded at this point. "So you want me to make them disappear then?"

"Not quite. I have something in mind for the older one, so that leaves the younger one to you." He clarified.

With a quirked brow, the younger of the two asked, "Alright then, what is it that you want me to do to her? Just kill her? Or do you want me to hold her here until her boyfriend has been taken care of?"

"It matters not, just as long as the ghoul is in a panic and can't find her. She is of little consequence beside that. So you can do with her as you wish, I do not care." Madara explained.

"Really now?" Elefica inquired, a sick smile starting to form. "Whatever I wish huh?"

"Yes, I thought you'd like that idea given your...predilection for children, little girls especially." Madara's grin faded somewhat at his own words.

"I do love little girls." El affirmed, a predatory grin crossing his face and overriding his previous smile.

"Well, I did say you could do as you wish, but make sure you clean up afterward, understood?" Madara clicked his tongue at the young man as he said this, his distaste for his habits clear.

"Understood." Elefica responded, no disrespect present as he did, too content over the fact that he would be allowed to indulge in his addiction for the first time in months. Hell, he was downright giddy actually. Especially so considering his mistress's parting words before he was handed off to Madara for awhile... 'Elefica, if you manage to cross paths with the one known as Tsukune Aono on this mission, I want you to make him suffer.''

Predatory grin running from ear to ear, El turned and proceeded to exit the dark cave he, his colleagues and his superior used for their base. "Don't you worry Mistress, I will carry out your will."

So enraptured in ecstasy Tsukune, Yukari and Ruby were that they failed to hear the sound of approaching footsteps, not that they could have done so with the noises they were making.

"What's going on over her-OH MY!" Tamanori exclaimed in surprise, as he and his wife entered the revived part of the forest.

The sight they were greeted to? Their daughter Yukari and Ruby were both suspended three or so feet in the air, the older of the two somewhat closer to the ground then before, their arms and legs restrained by tree roots. The two were in different positions though, as Ruby hung upside down, which made her skirt go with gravity and expose her lower half, which lacked panties at this point, while Yukari had appropriated her counterpart's original position of being adjacent to the ground. This was done so that the younger witch could eat the older one out, while said older witch instructed her on how to improve her technique, telling her to try this and that. All the while Tsukune had the younger of the two's skirt flipped up and was going to town on her. Speaking of Tsukune, he had also lost his upper ware at this point, completely bare chested.

At the sound of someone else's voice, all three lovers eyes shot to the source, widening considerably as they saw who was here.

"Oh shit!" Tsukune swore.

"Mom, Dad!" Yukari cried in distress, her face a dark crimson.

Ruby simply gave a frustrated groan as her self dubbed sister in love took her face away from her sex, as she had been close and had just had her orgasm stolen from her.

If that wasn't enough to bring the carnal activity to an end, the fact that Yukari was so taken off guard and shocked by being caught in such a position by her parents, that she lost control of the spell and dropped herself and Ruby to the ground, did. It was only to be expected after all, seeing how hard it was to hold a spell without one's wand in hand and all.

The two witches were defenseless against gravity as the roots slackened and fell away, the force of nature bringing them crashing to the ground, Tsukune coming along with since he was still inside Yukari, causing the three to land together in a heap on the ground.

"OW!" Ruby yelped, nearly landing on her head as she hit the ground, thankfully managing not to and even managing to fall onto her front side, mostly because of trying to catch herself during the fall.

"OOMPH!" The breath was knocked right out of Yukari's little body, as she landed flat on the ground, discounting her legs which were draped across Ruby, and Tsukune landed on top of her.

Tsukune was dislodged from inside of his youngest lover as he came down with her, the thirteen year old falling forward a little causing this to occur. He didn't have much time to stop himself, having been caught off guard and all, so a good deal of his body weight fell on to his smallest girlfriend's frame, only able to prevent it all from coming down on her by slamming his hands into the grass at the last moment. Regardless, it didn't do her any real harm thankfully. Another thing to be thankful for, his manhood did not squished by anything during the fall.

After having basically all but eaten dirt, they looked toward the two parents once more and began sputtering as they tried to explain themselves while they turned tomato red. Or at least Tsukune and Yukari did. Ruby was more concerned that the fun had come to end than anything else. As they did this they, tried and failed, to untangle themselves from each other, only making it worse, while trying to cover themselves. Such a thing was harder on Tsukune since his pants were down.

The two parents had radically different reactions, as Fujiko titled her head to the side, her eyes inquisitive for a moment, before her head returned to it's original position, her eyes gleamed and she flashed the three a thumbs up with an accompanying grin, her approval all too clear.

While Tamanori quickly covered his eyes and glasses with one hand while waving the other one wildly in a negatory fashion, not that it mattered as he had already seen everything and was just as red in the face as his daughter, he began apologizing profusely. "We're so sorry! We had no idea you were having s-I mean making l-we're sorry okay! We'll just-we'll just be leaving now, alright!? Yo-you just go back to what you were doing, don't mind us!"

Making a blind grab for his wife's hand, which took a few tries to get right, the male Sendo turned and tried to lead them out of the horribly awkward situation. He failed to do so though, as since he was still covering his eyes, he ended up tripping and bringing both him and his wife to the ground.

At that point it was official. There would be no more sex tonight, as the mood was officially dead.

"I said I was sorry, what more do you want from me!?" Gin questioned desperately with a shout, not daring to stop moving as he did, simply looking behind him at the four very angry chicks chasing him to ask this.

"TO DIE!" The four yelled in unison as an answer, their ire having failed to fade even a bit.

The untransformed werewolf then eeped in fear and proceeded to dodge, as ice spikes came flying at him, extended claws swung for his head, slash-waves of monster energy were fired at him, courtesy of Moka of course, and Kokoa lunged at him. "Man, why didn't I just keep my mouth shut?" He wondered aloud, as he once again managed to escape the clutches of death by avoiding every attack meant for him.

"Don't know, guess you're just stupid, Wee." Came the sudden response, as Ko flew upon the scene.

"Huh?" Gin allowed his attention to be caught by the bat, taking his eyes off the pissed off broads behind him, which turned out to be akin to signing his death warrant.

"AHH!" He cried in shock, as several more ice spikes came at him and caught him by his jacket, nearly taking him off his feet as it was all but forcibly yanked off of him from the momentum behind the projectiles. While at the same time claws cleaved several strands of his hair off his head, a wave-slash of monster energy barely missed taking his arm off and he was finally caught by the red headed vampire, the fifteen year old tackling him hard.

That was all she wrote, as the next thing he knew he was on the ground, getting the crap kicked out of him. He had managed to evade capture for almost half an hour, dodging kicks, punches, ice projectiles and swipes of claws galore, but that now meant very little in terms of anything as he was beaten into the ground.

This beating was interrupted only a moment or so after beginning though, Ko, after having realized Kokoa was among the people he had just come across, proceeded to break into tears and cries of joy. "Oh Miss Kokoa, I finally found you Wee!"

"Ko buddy?" The youngest of the group queried, thinking she might have imagined his voice, as she pulled away from the pervert and turned to look at the bat. But she hadn't imagined it, she had actually heard his voice, as lo and behold, there he was.

The tiny monster threw himself into the fifteen year old's chest, snuggling into her breasts as tears cascaded down his spherical form. "I'm so glad you're okay! When I couldn't find you I feared the worst! Oh please don't ever-ack, Wee!" The rest of what he had to say was cut off with a strangled muttering of his favorite word, as his mistress took hold of him, her grip tighter than any vice, the scowl she wore giving away her displeasure with him before she even spoke.

"And just where have you been hiding my little servant?" She started with faux calm, which was given away just by the look in her eyes. "Because I haven't seen you since the battle with Aqua! You stupid jackass, how dare you just abandon me!" She screeched in his face, not bothering to keep up her faux calm for more than a moment, as her anger became even more apparent.

"I-I-agh-if you'd let-ack-me explain my-uck-myself Mistress, I'd tell-" Despite forcing words out while being choked, he still wasn't allowed to explain himself. "I don't want to hear your excuses!" His mistress replied, before throwing him down at Gin, hitting him dead off in the face with the bat and causing them both to groan and yelp in pain, which also cut the eighteen year old off, having been saying something along the lines of 'guess you're the stupid one'.

The beat down then quickly resumed, now with an extra participant on the receiving end.

Seeing as they had been caught, by Yukari's parents none the less, the three, obviously, cut their activities short. Having put back on all the garments they had taken off, Ruby her panties, Yukari her hat, and Tsukune his shirt and jacket, they left the minuscule clearing of the rejuvenated forest with the two adults, the two females of the three teens making sure to retrieve their wands as well as they did.

Needless to say, the walk back was awkward as all hell. Full of side glances, uncomfortable silence, red faces and sputtered and botched attempts at conversation.

Drawing close to rejoining the crowd, it'd be best to clear the air now. Tamanori realized this, and seeing as he was almost as embarrassed as his daughter and Tsukune were, Ruby seemed to be only mildly uncomfortable at the whole thing, he decided to try and ease the unpleasant tension. "You know for your own, uh, edification, it's a perfectly normal thing for two, or I guess in your case three, human beings to do, eh, what you did. It's human nature, human nature at it's best. Everybody does it. Maybe not quite like that, but regardless. As I explained before, no judgement." He tried to assure them, but in the end only managed to darken the crimson of their faces, Yukari's and Tsukune's at least. It also got the young witch to grumble a little under her breath.

That, obviously, didn't work as planned. At least going by the fact that the awkwardness in the air only seemed to thicken, the two refusing to even look at him, and even Ruby did her best to avoid eye contact. Fujiko...well, she had a habit of always being unfazed. So, resorting to a last ditch effort, which was all he really had left, the warlock spoke further. "You know...your mother and I, well not so much anymore but, we uh, we used to do some pretty kinky stuff as well. Leather and latex, bondage, roleplay, we could get, uh, get pretty wild ourselves." He expounded.

"Dad, please, just stop talking! I'm begging you!" Yukari pleaded with her father then, every word out of his mouth cringeworthy and humiliating to the thirteen year old.

"Dear I'm just trying to-"

"Please don't!" The little witch insisted, her deep red complexion not fading.

"Heh heh, fucking." Fujiko remarked with joy and a bubbly giggle then.

"Mom!" Yukari cried in mortification, the shade of red that consumed her face somehow darkening even further.

Tsukune wasn't even able to feel embarrassed at that, as he gaped at the older woman. That was the first time he had ever heard her speak. He had, understandably, assumed she was a mute, seeing as Yukari and Tamanori communicated with her without the woman speaking a single word. Perhaps she was just a woman of few words...

This little debacle came to a sudden halt, as their attention was quickly called away from each other to the crowd of tens of thousands of magic beings, as they all suddenly went silent and looked upward, where an enlarged image of Madara was being projected a dozen or so feet in the air, the five's eyes following to the long haired man's projected visage.

"Midnight has finally arrived." He began, his deep voice somehow echoing through the massive clearing. "So the time has come...let us begin."

All eyes upon his magical projection, all ears open to hear his words, all attention was solely focused on him...it brought a smug grin to man's face. "The reason I called you all here is simple, I require assistance with a matter of grave importance. But first, before I tell you what that matter is, allow me to formally introduce myself."

Considering he had already convinced them all he was who he said he was, it didn't make sense for him to do such a thing. Still, all individuals retained their silence and listened...

"I am Madara Yaga, leader of the fourth division of the organization known as Fairy Tale. Perhaps you've heard of it?" His smug grin widened after he gave his introduction.

At that the massive gathering of magical beings erupted into shouts and yells, gasps, disbelieving mutterings, hushed whispers of approval and all other manner of emotes.

"Oh no." Tamanori breathed, he and Fujiko tensing up at this news. They had heard of these people...needless to say, they wanted nothing to do with them. And now here they were, in the heart of the Witching Fields...

"I knew it." Ruby whispered to herself, a frown crossing her face as her grip on her wand tightened.

"Fairy Tale again?" Yukari queried somewhat exasperatedly, wondering just what they would have to do to get a break from them.

Tsukune's eyes widened considerably at this information, his fists clenching reflexively as he said, "Shit."

Gin and Ko both were covered in black and blue bruises, the two monsters given a decent berth from the others after having been returned to the spot where the other three members of their group had entered the dead forest.

Vladimir, Fang Fang, Ling Ling, Deshiko and Kyouko didn't bother asking about what happened when the two were thrown to their current spot by the four girls. Nor did they question them as they all sat down once more, the physical evidence more than enough to sate any curiosity they might have on the matter.

The only bald one of them did say this though, "Yeah...that ended about as expected."

Kyouko, Deshiko, Ling Ling and Fang Fang nodded their heads in agreement with that.

"Except for that bat being brought back. Didn't see that coming." Deshiko remarked.

"Nope, saw that coming too." The counselor replied, earning a inquisitive look from the other four by doing so.

"Oh just shut up."

"Excuse me?" Vladmir queried with a quirked brow, turning towards Deshiko as he did.

"Don't look at me, I didn't say it." She defended herself.

"How about you shut up instead?"

It was clear to all of them that none of them had said that either. What was even more peculiar was that it was a different voice. So they let their eyes begin to roam, scanning the area for other presences.

"Just admit it, you're lost." A third voice said.

"I am not lost!" A fourth, more feminine voice said.

"Are too." The first two voices said in unison. "I thought I told you to shut up?" Those same voices asked each other.

"For the hundredth time, I am not lost! I know exactly where we're going!" The female of the four exclaimed.

"Oh really?" The third male voice questioned. "Then why, exactly, have we been wandering through this dead forest for over an hour now?"

No response was given at that.

"Need I remind you why we're here? The three of us have been summoned to a gathering of our kind. The penalty for not attending? Death. And considering we're at least a few minutes late at this point, there is no way you'll be able to get out of being executed either. With the way you always follow us around though, there was probably no way at all for you to avoid the same punishment." The third voice continued.

"I do not follow you around!" The fourth feminine voice protested.

"Yeah, ya do. Like some kind of dog in fact. And the fact that I'm not even your boyfriend anymore just makes it weirder." The third voice told the fourth, while the first two continued to bicker.

"You're not my boyfriend anymore because you're nothing but a fucking jackass wannabe dickhead!" Whoever the female was yelled at him. "And again, I do not follow you around!" She added.

"Then what would you call going everywhere we go? Cause that's what you do." He argued.

"I'd call it trying to figure out why you aren't my slave! Because you're supposed to be!" She shot back.

"Babe please, if I became someone's slave from a simple kiss or even a single fuck, I'd be a pretty shitty warlock. I've got spells against that sort of thing ya know."

"WHAT!?"

"Did you honestly expect me not to take precautions? You're a succubus, succubi enslave men, I wanted to fuck you, you wanted to get fucked, badly I might add. Put all that together and the outcome was inevitable. Unless of course I used a little magical protection. Which I did." He explained.

"YOU ASSHOLE!"

"I just can't believe you didn't figure it out. I mean come on, how airheaded can you be?"

"I thought it would take longer to turn someone into my slave the stronger they were! How the hell was I supposed to know you cheated like you did!?"

"You're really lucky you're so hot, cause you're ludicrously stupid."

"YOU FUCKER!"

"There they are." Ling Ling pointed out, as the four bickering individuals stumbled out of the dead forest, tripping over each other as they tried to attack one and other and landing in a heap just a few short feet in front of everyone else.

These four appeared to be teens, and were all roughly the same height, give or take a few inches, each standing at the higher end of five foot.

One had bottom of his neck length black hair, somewhat pale skin and dull green eyes, wore dark blue slacks and A matching long sleeve dress shirt, as well as a pair of black dress shoes.

Another had dirty blonde hair in a buzz cut, fair skin and light blue eyes, was dressed in a short sleeved white shirt, a pair of tan slacks and white non-descript shoes.

The third had short unkempt blonde hair, somewhat tanned skin and blue eyes, and his attire consisted of a dark blue mid-sleeve shirt, a pair of black cargo shorts and some black and blue sneakers.

The fourth and final one had long blonde hair, light skin and lively green eyes, and her apparel was made up of a long sleeve black shirt, a knee length dark blue skirt and a pair of black open toed shoes.

These four's eyes widened considerably as they realized who they had just bumbled up, crashed into each other and fallen down in front of. At the same time, Moka's, Kokoa's, Mizore's and Kurumu's eyes all narrowed dangerously, the girls getting to their feet with their monster energy beginning to fluctuate. Needless to say, the temperature dropped several degrees and the mood shifted drastically from what it was a few moments ago.

Who were these people that upon sighting got the girls riled up immediately?

None other than Konji, Tucker, Chad and Cynthia. "Oh fuck me." The four in question spoke in unison.

"What's with you guys?" Deshiko inquired, referring to the only four females present that were apart of Tsukune's harem. "You got a bone to pick with these four or something?"

"YOU!" Kyouko shouted, her fists clenched as she jumped to her feet.

"It seems like they're not the only ones." Ling Ling commented.

"Question is why though." Fang Fang added.

"I can answer that one." Vladimir cut in. "These four individuals are responsible for making Tsukune's early life what one could call a living hell. At least by normal standards anyway."

Gin's own eyes narrowed then, a scowl forming on his face as he pushed himself to his feet. "So that's who these four are." He remarked, his ire kickstarted as he recalled everything the girls had told him about them and what they had done to the ghoul he called his best friend.

"A living hell?" The bo staff wielder repeated, her tone a combination of bewilderment, sympathy and concern.

"Admittedly though, even by monster standards it wasn't pretty. I'm rather cynical and jaded so what he had to go through doesn't really hit me all that hard. You on the other hand...you experienced something rather similar, didn't you Deshiko?" He said in a prodding manner. "At Yokai, with the entire school on your back, you know the pain he went through all too well, don't you?" The shades wearing vampire prodded further.

Deshiko got what he was so heavily implying, and as her past experiences with being beaten, bullied, and overall just abused by her fellow students ran through her mind, the thought of Tsukune having gone through the same, even if to a lesser degree, she felt rage consume her. Shooting to her feet, her grip on her staff tightened greatly, her own monster energy acting up as she glared daggers at the four teens she had never even met before today.

Seven, the total count of people with promises of death in their eyes had gone up to seven at this point.

"OH FUCK ME!" The three warlocks and succubus all repeated in unison, though much louder, fear consuming their beings as they entered fight or flight mode. Quite obviously, they chose flight, as they scrambled to their feet and took off.

Not long afterward...

Cynthia, Konji, Tucker and Chad all ran side by side, weaving through the dead forest so as to avoid hitting any of the trees, hoping one of their pursuers would do so and give them a little room to breathe. That hope was held in vain though, as Moka, Kokoa, Mizore, Kurumu, Gin, Kyouko and Deshiko didn't so much as make a single misstep in their pursuit, hell bent on getting their hands on the four. Well...technically anyway. Kyouko did make a few errors here and there, tripping up or almost colliding with someone, but Gin made sure to help her along anytime she messed up.

If the two vampires had truly tapped into their speed things would already be over, but now wasn't the time for such expenditures of power.

The chase, if it had just been straight dash, would have led them out of the deceased forest and into the large clearing where the gathering took place. But it was anything but a straight and narrow chase, as the ones who were fleeing changed direction often, so as to try and shake their chasers, to no avail of course.

All too soon it became clear to them that if this kept up, it was inevitable that they would be caught. Seeing as that was the case, the three warlocks began casting spells, to either injure or trip up the seven following so closely behind them, while the succubus of the four grew her claws out and began cutting down trees in hopes of blocking the path.

Unfortunately for them, the seven adapted quickly. Expertly dodging the attacks as well as jumping over any tree that fell in their path, some of them, Moka and Kokoa, outright smashing them with attacks of their own. They had no way of slowing them down, and as that became glaringly clear to them, they grew desperate.

Being desperate but also being all out of options, that left them with the simplistic run faster method. And honestly, that was as good as bupkus. They were caught, no ifs ands or buts about it. All they could do was prolong the affair. And being the cowards they were, that's what they did.

The chase would have ended long before if it wasn't for the four's underhanded methods and evasive maneuvering, as well as their clever use of their surroundings, and even now all it truly did was drag it on. Which was a big part of why Vladimir, Fang Fang, Ling Ling and Ko followed behind at a much more passive pace. They would be caught by the others, no doubt about it. So there was no need to rush.

With every person's attention on Madara's projected image, they failed to notice as the woman who had appeared with Madara earlier, known as Kagura, appeared out of thin air next to the massive tree. The moment she was there, she took precaution not to be seen, peaking out from behind the mammoth tree before making her move.

Ruby's grip on her wand hadn't loosened in the slightest after tightening, as she anticipated the battle that was surely to come. With Madara outright admitting he was apart of Fairy Tale, one of the higher division leaders no less, it was only a matter of time before he revealed his intentions of taking Tsukune's life. And when he did...she had no intention of even letting him get close. Her iron maiden spell was ready to go, as she was now capable of activating it by herself. Not to mention the other spell she had been working on...

She knew she wasn't strong enough to beat him, she couldn't hope to delude herself to that degree. But it wasn't about beating him, as that wasn't her place. It was about weakening him. Whether Tsukune was strong enough to defeat him in a one on one battle or not, it really didn't matter. All that mattered to her was that he won and, more importantly, made it out alive. So if for that to happen she had to take the edge off of Madara's fighting capability, then that's what she would do. As that was the role she played, she was his servant, she was the one who was to help him in all his endeavors, whether they be in love or in battle or even mundane life. He had accepted his role as her master and in turn accepted her role. She would not fail him.

A small flash of green caught her eye then.

'What the?' She thought to herself, taking a step back and turning to look to the right, having sworn she had seen something out the corner of her eye.

Noise basically consumed the clearing, with all the the witches and warlocks conversing, whispering and muttering, not to mention Madara beginning to speak once more. So it was understandable that neither of the nineteen year old's companions, nor the two adults, noticed her say, "Who's there?" Having turned fully around and narrowed her eyes at the point of area where she had sworn she had seen the green, taking a few steps forward as she did.

Knowing she was caught, Kagura revealed herself as she broke into a silent sprint toward the witch that had noticed her presence.

'She's fast!' Was all Ruby was able to even think, as by the time she opened her mouth to warn the others, Kagura had lept toward her and made contact with her hands grasping ahold of her shoulders. "Tsuk-" Her lover's name was cut short, as the brown haired witch and the green haired woman disappeared without a trace.

"Ruby?" Tsukune spoke her name with a questioning tone, turning around to face her at the sound of her speaking the first two syllables of his name. Only she wasn't there. "Ruby?" He said her name again, taking a step forward and glancing to the left, then to the right, looking for her. "Ruby?" He repeated, worry beginning to seep into his tone as he took a few more steps forward, his eyes moving about, trying to locate the older woman.

"Tsukune, what's wrong?" Yukari inquired, moving away from her parents and to him as she saw him move away.

"I don't see Ruby anywhere." He told her, his worry beginning to build. "She was just behind me a minute ago." He continued. "Where could she have gone?" He wondered aloud.

"Ruby?" Yukari repeated her counterpart's name inquisitively, beginning to look around herself. "You're right. I don't see her."

'I have a bad feeling about this.' The ghoul thought to himself, before turning around and moving toward the gathered gargantuan crowd of magical beings, scanning them for a sign of Ruby. "Ruby?" He called out, hoping to hear a response from her as he did. One was never given.

Tamanori and Fujiko were understandably confused as he pushed past them and into the crowd of their fellow witches and warlocks, calling out, "Ruby!?" as he did. Once more no response was heard. "RUBY!?"

Even with the ghoul raising his voice so, the only people to really notice his presence were the ones he shoved out of his way as he searched for his eldest lover. They grumbled and complained, some even shoved him back and cursed at him, but he didn't care. He was far too busy trying to locate the nineteen year old that had been by his side just moments ago.

"Tsukune, what's going on?" Tamanori questioned the teen, as he came back around to their original spot.

"It's Ruby, she's gone." He answered, his desperation visibly growing.

"Gone? What do you mean she's gone? Where did she go?" The older man questioned further.

"I don't know! She's just gone! She was here one moment and gone the next!" He explained, emotions starting to rise.

"Okay, okay, just calm down. It won't do anyone any good for you to get yourself all worked up. We'll all look for her together, alright?" The warlock said, trying to calm the younger man down.

Fujiko nodded her head with conviction, her eyes saying all that needed to be said, 'We will find her.'

"Right, you're right. I need to calm down. Getting upset won't help anything." Despite his words, the seventeen year old couldn't erase the sinking feeling in the pit of his stomach.

"Exactly." The glasses wearing magical being agreed. "Four pairs of eyes are better than one. If we all look together, we'll find her for sure." He continued.

Tsukune knew his youngest lover's father was simply trying to put his mind at ease, at least a little, but he still couldn't bother listening to him, drowning his words out for the most part. 'Ruby, where did you go?' He wondered, putting his face in his hands as he tried to calm himself. As he did, suddenly, without warning, a feeling trepidation came over the teen. And to such a degree that it made his sinking feeling pale in comparison. What could possibly evoke such a feeling?

"Yukari." He breathed her name in terror, his eyes widening in realization, as he shoved past the young witch's parents once more, so as to get to her. As he did, it almost felt as if he was moving in slow motion, each moment feeling almost like an century each, a sense of foreboding thick in the air.

Once he had returned to his spot from before, where his lovers had been at his side, what he saw caused his heart to skip a beat and for him to go white as a ghost.

Where Yukari had once been standing was nothing but empty air. "Yukari!?"

His head whipping to and fro, his eyes scrutinizing every inch of area he could see, he searched for the smallest hint of where she could be. However, just like Ruby, she seemed to vanish into thin air. "YUKARI!?"

Tears building in his eyes, the ghoul failed to pay the slightest attention as Tamanori and Fujiko realized their daughter was gone as well and began desperately searching for her. He failed to heed anything from the rest of the world, as it sunk in that two of his lovers, two of the girls he swore to protect at all costs, to never let anyone hurt them again, had slipped through his fingers and were now missing. Or heaven forbid, worse. "YUKARI, RUBY, WHERE ARE YOU!?"
