The Next Morning
Tsukune is on the Yokai Academy school bus with Moka, Kurumu, Mizore, Ruby, Yukina, Kokoa, Fang-Fang, Haiji, Ginei and San. They are on their way back to Yokai Academy after Tsukune and the girls had a very awkward stay at the Aono household last night.
"Your parents were nice." Mizore tells Tsukune.
"Yeah, I think they're cool with me being a vampire now. Mostly." Tsukune says. "Though it's still something they have to get used to. I'm just glad Kyoko was there to vouch for us."
San writes on her notepad: "I'm glad to hear that. I hope to make their acquaintance soon."
"So San, is Marin-San going to pick you up from Yokai or shall I drive you home?" Ginei asks his girlfriend.
San writes on her notepad: "Marin will get me." Then she frowns and writes: "I hope her business doesn't suffer now that people will know I'm a monster."
"Aw don't be like that, San." Yukari says. "Everyone saw you fighting Alucard. I bet the humans in your town will consider you a hero!"
"Yukari, you saw how the townspeople reacted to us." Kokoa says.
"There's still hope." Moka says.
"They didn't chase us with pitchforks." Yukari says.
"No, but you could sense the tension." Mizore says.
"Yokai were exposed when a gigantic monster fell from the sky, totaled the military and released dozens of other monsters throughout Japan with the intent of wiping out humanity." Kurumu reminds her. "And they know about Fairytale now."
"Yeah but they also saw us stopping him." Yukari says.
"Maybe that will earn US some good graces, but Yokai's as a whole will be feared by the general populace."
Tsukune gets a text message. He looks at his phone, groans and deletes it.
"Who was that?" Haiji asks Tsukune.
"Some guy I was in one class with at my old school. He's asking if we want to hang out." Tsukune explains. "I've got a ton like that. Also a bunch from girls who barely paid attention to me before I went to Yokai."
"I hope you're not responding to any of them." Kurumu says, tensely. 'Having to fight for you between Moka and the others is hard enough.' She thinks.
"Don't worry I'm just deleting them." Tsukune says.
Then he sighs.
"Actually that's something I want to talk to the rest of you about."
All the girls in his unwanted "harem", plus Moka and their friends look eagerly at Tsukune. Even the bus driver looks over his shoulder.
"Finally! Has the kid grown a spine?" He asks himself.
Tsukune takes a deep breath and exhales.
"Kurumu, Mizore, Ruby, Yukari. You guys are my dearest friend and I care very deeply for all of you-"
"What about me?" Fang-Fang asks, a little hurt he wasn't included.
"Uh, you too, Fang-Fang." Tsukune says.
Fang-Fang smiles and Yukari grabs his arm.
"Hold on Tsukune. Before you say anything I want to make an announcement."
Fang-Fang gives Yukari a reassuring nod and Yukari continues speaking.
"Tsukune, Moka, I think you know how I've always felt about you two and what my plans were for us."
"Yes, you've made it clear you want a three way." Moka says, dreadfully as Tsukune also looks disturbed.
"But, during that time training with Fang-Fang to take on Fairytale we grew close." Yukari says.
Fang-Fang puts an arm around her and she leans into him, lovingly.
"I've never known such an extraordinary girl." Fang-Fang says.
"And I've never known a guy who understands me the way Fang-Fang does." Says Yukari.
"So..."
Fang-Fang and Yukari kiss. Most of their friends are stunned silent, but San is clapping and both Tsukune and Moka have relieved smiles on their faces.
"Well I'm glad to hear that." Tsukune says.
Fang-Fang and Yukari break their kiss.
"Having said that, we've both come to two agreements." Fang-Fang says. "One, I still want you and Moka to join my family business."
"Also, if either of you two are willing to spice up your love life you can come to us." Yukari says.
Moka and Tsukune frown.
"So, not much is gonna change." Tsukune says.
"Atleast neither of them are going to be actively chasing us now." Moka says.
"Ok, good for Yukari." Says Kurumu. "Now what about us?"
Kurumu, Mizore and Ruby glare at Tsukune. He gets nervous but Moka places a hand on his shoulder and Tsukune regains his courage.
"I've been thinking lately, and I-"
THROMP!
SQUAWK!
SCREECH!
The driver stops the bus when he realizes something just hit his windshield. He steps outside and notices a fat bird with a beard and in robes lying unconscious in the street.
"Whoops. Looks like I wasn't paying attention to where I was going."
Everyone else rushes out of the bus and looks at what they hit.
"Aw, we hit a crow." Says Tsukune.
"Wait, why does it have a beard?" Asks Moka.
"And clothes?" Asks Mizore.
"I'd say that it's a Tengu but it's way too small." Kokoa says.
"Actually that is a Tengu, Kokoa." Haiji says. "That's a Tengu from space."
Tsukune turns to him shocked.
"Space!? What do you mean space!?"
"You know man, aliens." Haiji says nonchalantly.
"Is he serious?" Tsukune asks the bus driver.
"Oh yeah. Aliens are real too, Tsukune. Out there are many worlds. Some of them have species similar to those here on earth. There are lots of alien races that look like humans-"
Moka, Kurumu, Ruby, Mizore and Yukari nod, remembering their run in with the Sailor Guardians some time ago ((See Story: "An Old (Vampire) Friend")).
"-and there are many that are yokai-like. There are also space-Yuki-Onna on Neptune, space-Oni, space-Succubi, there are even space-Fukujin. They've all visited earth in the past and mingled with both humans and the Yokai community."
"I have some space-Tengu heritage myself." Haiji says. "My great-great-great-great-something grandfather was from the royal family of the Space-Tengu. They are the only ones of their species who aren't just crows in clothes. Actually, they look like humans but with wings on their heads."
The bus driver smirks.
"Yeah, so they try to keep their mates humanoids as well. But a few hundred years ago the number of humanoids not related to them on their planet started decreasing. That's why they started looking for mates on earth." Says the bus driver.
"You mean spouses?" Mizore asks.
"No, mates." Says the bus driver. "The queens or princesses would come to earth, find a particularly handsome male, bang them, then go back home to raise the kids on their own. They even had this tradition where the girl would be but in suspended animation until awoken by a kiss first."
"That's…a little messed up." Tsukune says.
"The non-consensual kissing or the fathers essentially being one-night stand deadbeats?" Moka asks, a little disturbed by it herself.
"Both." Says Tsukune.
"Tsukune, you have to respect other people's cultural customs." Says Ginei. "Now just out of curiosity how hot are these alien tengu princesses?"
San elbows him in the ribs.
"I was joking." Ginei tells her.
"I can understand wanting to mate to save your species and, while personally I prefer to have the father of my children help out, that is also a common practice among succubi. But the kissing while asleep part is kinda disturbing." Kurumu says. "You'd have to be a perv to kiss a girl while they are sleeping."
"Don't you succubi invade dreams to seduce men to get pregnant?" Ruby asks.
"…Touché." Kurumu admits.
"But what's this guy doing here?" Kokoa asks, pointing at the unconscious space-Tengu.
"I don't know, but we can't just leave him in the street." Haiji says scooping the smaller creature in his arms. "Let's take him back to Yokai and fix him up."
…
Upon returning to Yokai Academy most of the students swarmed around Tsukune and his friends. Many of them were praising them for defeating Alucard. Others, those who hate humans the most, were calling them traitors to Yokai-kind. But a lot of them were worried about what would become of the Yokai world now that humans know about them. But the Newspaper Club just pushed through the crowd and made it to the nurses office. Ruby wraps the space-Tengu in bandages and places an ice pack on his body. Meanwhile, Moka and Tsukune stand off to the side exploring their new abilities. Moka uses her enhanced "Wealth of Power" to transform her arm into an array of razor-sharp bat-wings like Kahlua. Except, being enhanced by shinso blood made them even stronger and sharper.
"By the way, big sister. Thanks to my training I can shatter our big sister Kahlua's wings with Kou." Kokoa boasts while her transformer bat flies from her head and transforms into a sword in her hands. "And I distinctly remember you being beaten by her in less than a minute. So who knows, maybe if you weren't a shinso now I could finally beat you."
"How would you have fared against Kahlua if you fought her hand-to-hand like I had?" Moka asks with a smirk.
Kokoa drops her own. She had to admit, she barely managed to beat Kahlua while she had Kou to help her. Even Haijin was necessary to keep Kahlua from striking her in the beginning a few times. Her lasting as long as she did mainly came from the fact that she had a 200lb sword to block Kahlua's sharp wings and it took all her force plus the weight to shatter them one at a time. Kokoa could imagine Moka effortlessly taking down Kahlua if she had used Kou.
"Were you able to hit her body like I did?" Moka asks.
"Not before she got doused in water." Kokoa admits, tensely. "But I still beat Kahlua and you didn't." Kokoa says.
Moka smiles, sincerely.
"Yes, you did. With a weapon, but both me and Kahlua were still able to beat you easily before. I'm proud of how strong you've become. And, who knows. Maybe if I wasn't a shinso anymore you might actually beat me if you challenged me to a fight. Keep getting stronger."
Kokoa has tears in her eyes and a big smile on her face.
"I'm so happy to hear you say that." Kokoa says, hugging her sister.
"You know, I could wear a limiter or two. Bring me down to normal vampire levels." Moka suggests.
Koko scoffs.
"No way. Then you would be fighting me for real. If I'm gonna beat someone, I want them to be at full strength." Kokoa says proudly.
Kokoa walks away and Moka then resumes testing her enhanced powers. She transforms her other arms into a set of wings as well. Then she makes three sets of wings grow from her back like her mother. Then she returns to normal and stretches her arm in a liquid state and even fires a blood bullet like Kahlua. Moka gets ambitious and combines this with her "Creation Ability" and the next time she fires a blood bullet it explodes, destroying a nearby chair.
"Interesting." Moka says, impressed with her new power.
"Hey Moka! Look at this!" Tsukune says. "I wanted to see if I could use the Creation ability to generate fire, electricity and even low temperatures like how we were able to use it to create explosions and morph our blood into steel armor."
Tsukune opens his palm and a small burst of fire immediately bursts from it. He raises his other palm and it releases a small stream of electricity. Then he places both hands together, a layer of frost forms on them as mist rolls off.
"I'm still getting the hang of it." He admits.
"That's quite impressive. Well done, Tsukune." Moka says.
"I was thinking, you know how when we were stabilizing our powers we released a massive beam of energy?" Tsukune asks. "Maybe we can find a way to do that naturally, and directly from our hands like a laser."
"I suppose it's possible." Moka says. "My father has a strong aura and he learned how to use it to repel enemies. Either by releasing it from his whole body or from his hand. I'll figure out how to do that and then you can teach me the Shadowless Sword. Together we will also unlock the full capabilities of the Wealth of Power and maybe figure out how to turn into mist."
"Deal!"
Meanwhile, Kurumu and Mizore watch Tsukune and Moka laughing from the other side of the room.
"Look at that. Now they are closer than ever." Kurumu laments.
"Hey guys, I think the little guy is waking up." Ruby calls.
Moka, Tsukune, Kurumu, Mizore, Yukari, Kokoa, Haiji, Ginei, San and Fang-Fang all gather around Ruby and the awakening Elder space-Tengu.
"Hey, you ok little buddy?" Haiji asks.
"Sorry about hitting you with our bus, man." Says Ginei.
San writes: "It was an accident, we swear." On her notepad.
The Elder crow regains consciousness and notices many teenagers looking down at him. He recognizes the face of the person he was looking for and he jumps up.
"You! Tsukune Aono!"
"You know me?" Tsukune asks.
"I think everyone knows both of us by this point." Moka reminds him.
"I wasn't expecting aliens, though." Tsukune says.
"Oh, you already know what I am. Good, now I can skip to the point." The Elder says, standing up. "Tsukune Aono, congratulations. Princess Kurama has chosen you to be her mate."
Tsukune's face pales hearing this. As do Kokoa's, Ginei's and Sans. Moka and the other girls (bar Yukari) look furious. Haiji, however, is amused.
"Well, way to be subtle about it." He jokes.
"SHE WANTS WHAT!?" Moka screams furiously, her aura darkening around her body.
"He said that their princess wants to-"
"I KNOW WHAT HE SAID!" Moka snaps at Yukari.
"Uh…I'm flattered, I guess." Tsukune says awkwardly to the crow. "But I kinda have a girlfriend. Plus those girls over there who are also mad." Tsukune ears pointing at Kurumu, Mizore, Yukari and Ruby. "Also, I don't believe in one-night-stands. Especially not getting a woman pregnant then never seeing them again."
"Oh come on, the princess is very beautiful." The Elder says.
"No way!" Kurumu says. "There's already one girl in this group named Kurumu, and that's ME!"
"The princess's name is Kurama."
"Yeah, I'm also Kurumu."
"No, he said her name is Kur-Am-Ah." Ruby says. With An "A"."
"Yeah, Kurama." Mizore says.
"I'm Kurumu." Says Kurumu.
"No, I was referring to the princess."
"So just out of curiosity, how beautiful is this princess?" Yukari asks the crow.
The Elder presses a button on his watch and it projects a hologram of Kurama. All the girls (besides Moka and Kurumu) are stunned while Ginei gazes lustfully at the image and Yukari's nose bleeds.
"Wow, the princess is quite gorgeous." Yukari says.
"Hmph, I'm bigger." Kurumu says, pridefully sticking out her bust.
"I like her fashion sense." Ruby says.
"She's a hussy." Moka says. "Look how low that v-line is. And where are her pant legs? Is she a princess or a stripper?"
"Nice legs though." Haiji says, then Kokoa steps on his foot.
"Ow! Oh come on Kokoa, you know I have different preferences." Haiji says, parting her on the head.
"Princess Kurumu looks like a swimsuit model." Says Yukari.
"Yes?" Kurumu asks Yukari.
"No, not you." Yukari tells Kurumu.
"You just said my name."
"No, I said the princesses name."
"No, you said "Kurumu". Which is me." Kurumu says.
"I heard you say her name." Mizore tells Yukari while pointing at Kurumu.
"No I thought I said Kurumu, no Kurama." Yukari says.
"I'm already confused which one of you is which." Kokoa says.
"You see what you're doing?" Kurumu snaps at the space-tengu. "We don't need all this confusion in the group."
"She doesn't need to be part of the group, she just needs to mate with Tsukune once. After that none of you have to see each other again." Says The Elder.
"My answer is No." Tsukune says. "I'm not going to have my children grow up without me. I love Moka and…" Tsukune looks at the rest of the girls. "I have enough girls in my life already. I don't need any alien princesses. But I'm sure Haiji can set her up with an earth Tengu who's interested, right?" He asks Haiji.
"Sure." Haiji says.
"The princess won't want that." The Elder says. "She knows that Earth Tengu are actually humanoid crows under their human disguises. The princess has high standards. Good looks are mandatory."
"So she's shallow then." Tsukune says, walking away.
Moka walks beside him and grabs his arm.
"Well said, Tsukune."
Kurumu rubs up and grabs Tsukune's other arm, to Tsukune's discomfort and Moka's anger.
"Yeah, we already have a tengu and a hot girl in this group whose name starts with a "K"." Kurumu says.
The rest of the Newspaper group follows. But Yukari stays behind and turns to The Elder.
"So, is the princess a lolicon like earth tengu are? Maybe bisexual?"
"YUKARI!" Moka yells.
"Coming!" Yukari yells before running to the vampire.
The Elder shakes his head then pulls out his communicator device.
"Hello…hey guys…" He says, speaking to his comrades. "Yeah the guy said he's not interested….yes, I showed him the hologram, he said he doesn't feel comfortable with one night stands. So yeah, plan B."
…
Lunchtime at Yokai Academy
Tsukune sits at his table beside Moka. Now that he is a vampire, his lunch consists of a can of tomato juice, like her. Though Moka still took a bite out of his neck. He asks her if that's technically considered cannibalism and Moka refuses to answer. Also sitting with them are Mizore and Kurumu. Kokoa sits between Moka and Haiji. Yukari sits close to Fang-Fang who sits next to Tsukune. Ginei walks up to the table while texting on the phone and takes a seat next to Kurumu across from Tsukune.
"Oh that's great!" Ginei speaks as he types. "Yeah, I'd love to come over after school." He says as he types again. "I love you too. Bye." He says as he finishes typing.
Ginei puts his phone away and addresses his group of friends.
"Ok good news everyone! Marin is still getting customers even though everyone knows San is a siren! Thankfully she was already well liked by pretty much everyone before and her town wasn't one of the ones attacked by Alucards spawn. Marin's friends are helping put in a good word for her with any locals that are still freaked out.
"That's great to hear." Tsukune says. "Not just for her and Marin-San. It also gives me hope of uniting Yokai and humans someday. I know there's still a lot of fear out there…"
"Not just the humans, yokai too." Kurumu says.
She points to a table of students who are glaring hatefully at the Newspaper club. On their table is a banner that reads: "Fairy Tale Was Right" and "Alucard Was A Real Hero" under it.
"You guys do know that Alucard became what he was by eating other Yokai, right?" Moka asks the racist table.
"They were probably traitors like you!" One student says.
The others at the racist table agree. But Moka just waves them off.
"Given time I'm sure most humans and Yokai alike will come to accept that were all just people." Tsukune says.
"You think?" Mizore asks.
"I know. Humans have a long history of seeing other races as inferior. Subjugating them. Having fearful or hateful attitudes." Tsukune says disappointed. "But over time, through perseverance and determination they fought their oppressors for freedom, then for equality. It took a long time in all these cases, centuries even. And I'm sure it will take a long time for Yokai and humans to accept each other as well. And, unfortunately, no matter how hard we try there will always be people on both sides who just won't let go of these old ideas and prejudices, but we can still achieve a world where most people are willing to get along."
"But Yokai didn't have the best introduction to human kind." Moka says. "So what do we do?"
Tsukune thinks.
"The headmaster had friends in the human Japanese government. Maybe we can talk to them for help."
"We could also start some projects in the yokai and human communities so they can learn to work together." Moka suggests. "Maybe we can even host an exhibition match to gain funds. I talked to my old friend Mako and she's all for it."
"Oh that reminds me, Moka. I just got a letter from Akua, she said that Kahlua is alive." Kokoa says.
They all stare at her.
"I thought you stabbed her?" Mizore asks.
"Apparently before he died Miyabi, or Alucard, whatever you wanna call him, gave her some of his shinso blood to bring her back."
"Oh." Moka says, surprised. "So is Kahlua a shinso now then?"
"No, he just gave her enough to heal her." Kokoa says. "She's making a fast recovery. Anyways, Akua says that she's going to try and rebuild the family with Kahlua now and she wants us to come back home." Kokoa scoffs. "As if."
"I don't know." Moka says. "Akua came through for me and Tsukune at the end, but I'm not sure how on-board she will be with what me and Tsukune are trying to do now."
Kokoa falters.
"Yeah. I know that Kahlua was just abused by mom and couldn't help herself. I feel bad for her but she still tried to kill me and I still think she's scary. My feelings are complicated." Kokoa says.
"Everyone deserves a second chance." Tsukune tells them. "Maybe you two can influence them to be bet-"
Tsukune is interrupted by a cloud of smoke rolling in. Everyone in the cafeteria starts coughing and wheezing. Many of the students start shouting that they can't move or that they feel numb. Even Tsukune and Moka are affected, if just slightly.
"Cough-what is this?" Tsukune asks, his arms and legs feeling numb.
"I recognize this. A group of thugs used this on me when I was a little girl." Moka says, feeling weak. "It's a special anesthetic used for vampires, but we should be more resistant as Shinso's. There must be garlic and fine grains of silver mixed in."
While Moka and Tsukune are able to keep sitting straight, all their friends at their table fall over.
"Big sister…" Kokoa groans weakly.
"Who would…do this?" Kurumu asks, lying paralyzed on the ground.
"I have an idea." Haiji growls.
Above them, Haiji sees four small crow-shaped figures wearing respirators and carrying canisters that are releasing the gas. They fly down and they grab Tsukune, who is barely able to move.
"Here, have another dose." Crow Servant 2 says to Tsukune as he sprays him directly with the canister's contents.
Tsukune coughs before growing weaker and falling asleep. The space-tengu grab his arms and fly him into the air as Crow Servant 1 pulls out a small device.
"Alright, time to get us back to the ship."
"Hey…"
Moka forces herself to stand up and crouch underneath the crows carrying her boyfriend. Moka uses every bit of strength she has left to jump up and grab Tsukune's leg just as Crow Servant 1 activates the teleportation device. The space-Tengu, the unconscious vampire and the vampiress disappear in a beam of light.
…
Kurama's ship
Kurama notices a light coming from the other room and walks into it. She gasps softly when she finds her chosen mate, Tsukune Aono, sleeping on the floor, surrounded by her crow servants.
"We have brought your mate, princess." Crow Servant 1 says.
"He was…tired when we found him. So we brought him to the ship so he could get a good rest."
Kurama approaches the "sleeping" vampire. She kneels down, grabs his face and smiles.
"Well done." She tells her servants. "Oh, you're even more handsome in person." Kurama tells the unconscious Tsukune as she analyzes his face, stroking his arm muscles and moving her hand into his shirt to feel his abdomen and chest as her smile grows larger. "And in fantastic shape too."
Kurama joyously presses the unconscious Tsukune's face into her cleavage, hugging him tightly.
"Oh, we're going to make beautiful babies!" She squeals.
Kurama senses an intense, frightening, aura and hears a vicious growling sound close to her. She sees a white haired vampire grabbing hold of Tsukune's leg, glaring intensely at her.
"Over my dead body!" Moka snaps. "God, you're like Kurumu and Mizore mixed together."
"How rude of you to sneak aboard my ship." Kurama says coolly.
"HOW RUDE OF YOU TO KIDNAP MY BOYFRIEND!" Moka shouts.
"Last time I checked vampires engage in polygamy." Kurama says.
"I DON'T AGREE WITH THAT!" Moka Shouts. "That's what my father did and it made one of his wives a psycho bitch!"
"Relax, we only need to borrow him for the evening." Crow Servant 3 tells Moka. "You can have him back after that. Then we will go back to our home planet (finally) and you'll never see any of us again."
"YOU WILL DO NO SUCH THING!" Moka shouts lunging at Kurama.
Kurama isn't fazed. She just stands up and pulls out her giant leaf. She swings it and it releases a massive blast of wind that pushes Moka back. If Moka wasn't weakened by the vapor, it wouldn't have worked on her.
"Get out of my space ship!" Kurama shouts.
Moka flies back as the Crow Servants open the hatch. Moka flies out of the alien saucer and she falls towards the city below.
'Damn!' Moka thinks. 'That crap they sprayed me with has mad eye too weak. I need to recover fast and rescue Tsukune!'
Moka glances down, noticing that she's getting closer and closer to the ground.
'But first. I should have enough strength left for this much.'
Moka uses all of her effort to morph her arms into a pair of bat wings. She doesn't have the energy to flap but she is able to use them as a pair of gliders so she can fly towards the ground more easily.
'I'll need to contact the others as well. God, I hope that crazy crow-girl isn't trying to mount Tsukune now.'
…
Back at Kurama's ship
The crow servants remove Tsukune's clothes as they prepare to lower him into a hot spring.
"I want him fully recovered when he awakens." Kurama tells her servants.
One of the servants removes Tsukune's shirt and Kurama blushes at the sight of his chiseled pecs and his six pack.
"Be sure to make him as comfortable as possible. I want to make a good impression."
Then the crows remove Tsukune's pants. Kurama turns red as a tomato and her head-wings flap open as her eyes focus on a specific part of his body.
"A big-really good first impression." She looks down at her figure and her leotard. "How is my appearance? Do you think I'm portraying myself as beautiful as I could be? How am I compared to that other girl?"
"You're gorgeous, princess." The Elder says.
"I'm just gonna touch myself up really quick." Kurama says, rushing to her room.
The Elder crow watches and shakes his head.
"Wow, I've never seen her that flustered before."
As Tsukune's body is lowered into the spring the crow servants encircle him and the Elder joins them.
"What do we do when he wakes up?" He asks the others. "He didn't exactly come here willingly and he's certainly strong enough to tear this ship apart."
"Don't worry." Crow Servant 2 says taking out a pocket watch. "I got this."
The other crows open Tsukune's eyes and Crow Servant 2 moves the watch infront of his eyes. Like a hypnotist trying to influence theri victim.
"Alright, Mr. Aono. You are going to forget about those other girls. You are going to find the princess completely irresistible and desire her as soon as you see her."
As he says that, Crow Servant 3 shows holograms of Kurama posing seductively while Crow Servant 4 massages his head and shoulders to stimulate pleasure.
"Now, bang her this one time, because we've been on this stinkin rock for years and we wanna go home! So please, just get her pregnant! Ok!?"
