Today is the day, the debut of *drumroll*

KURAI'S GIRLFRIEND

All of you have sent me so many ideas, and I love you all for it. I'm glad a lot of people enjoy this story, and will continue to like it.

I managed to get Wi-Fi from a Holiday Inn in Florida, so I'm all good here. There will be more at the bottom.

With that, here's Killer's Intention Part I

Flashback: 3 months ago

Kurai was in his room packing up the last of his bags. Once he made sure everything was where it was, he sat at his desk and took out his journal. He began to write:

Journal Entry #8

It's been a week since the Newspaper Club's fight with the Public Safety Commission. And life has been a whole lot hectic. For one, it's the fact that every student at the school is treating us like we're gods. On the plus side, I have been getting a lot of love letters from most of the female students. So life ain't all bad.

The only thing that bummed me out about the fight was losing the Lævateinn, I really had grown attached to it. The weirdest part of the fight was having to see my Evil personality after thinking I killed him, having him take over my body, and use a spell that even I was afraid of.

Something else happened that I can't stop thinking about; the fact that I ate Kuyou's soul. It was the first time I ate a person's soul since my mom died. Because I threw up Ruby's, that doesn't really count. Although unlike her soul, his ain't putting up much of a fight. That somewhat worries me.

But there's a distinct difference between the two souls. Kuyou's soul was filled with corruption, greed, hatred, and sadisty. The headaches had definitely stopped, and I haven't gone through withdrawl yet. It's because of this, I fear that the worst has yet to come.

On that note. I should be happy because it's finally summer break. Tsukune talked to his parents and they said I could stay at their place. Three months of no fights, no people trying to kill me, and no annoying harem. Then again, it is my life so fingers crossed.

When Kurai was done with his writing, he turned to place the journal in his bag, only to see a small parcel lying on his bed. On top of the parcel laid the Lævateinn sheathed up and looking good as new.

Kurai carefully picked it up and examined it with his fingers, careful not to cut himself. He then gripped the handle and swung it downwards on his chair, cutting it clean in half.

"Sweet." He exclaimed to himself. After placing it back in the sheath, he drew out his knife and cut the box open. Inside he found an old leather book, and a note.

He opened the note as his eyes scanned the writing:

Kurai,

It seems you survived Yokai Academy for the first year, well done. You are growing more and more darker than you even know. As you can see, I repaired the Lævateinn, can't have you go weaponless. And you'll find the book very helpful, more helpful than the glass ball.

I merely send this as a warning: You should watch your back, and watch who you trust. Things are going to get a lot more difficult, and secrets will be revealed.

Have a good summer.

Signed,

A Friend

2 days later:

After the long and incredibly awkward bus ride via the creepy Bus Driver. Tsukune and Kurai finally ended up in front of Tsukune's house. It was quite average, to say the least. As they walked up the driveway. Kurai couldn't help but think about that letter.

"A friend? Whoever it was sent me the glass ball as well. I was sure it was the Headmaster. And what did they mean by 'Watch who you trust' and 'Secrets will be revealed?"

"Hey Kurai!" Tsukune said bringing him out of his thoughts. "You alright? You've been quiet since the busride."

"Yeah I'm fine" Kurai quickly lied.

Tsukune pondered, shrugged it off, and rang the doorbell. About a minute later, Tsukune's mom opened the door.

"Hello Tsukune!" She said in a cheerful voice as she hugged her son.

Kurai couldn't help but feel a little jealous. Tsukune's mom reminded him of his own, she even kind of looked like her aside from the hair. Mrs. Aono ceased hugging her and looked at Kurai.

"And you must be Tsukune's friend Kurai."

Kurai bowed. "It's nice to meet you Mrs. Aono. Thank you for letting me stay here."

"Ooh what a gentlemen. Well it's always nice to meet one of Tsukune's friends." She gestured him inside."

One inside, Tsukune was greeted by a tough feminine voice. "You're late Tsuki!" A girl pointed out. This girl had short black hair with silver hair clips and light teal colored eyes. She wore a bright red jacket over a white t-shirt, a blue denim skirt, and brown boots.

"Sorry Kyoko." Tsukune said rubbing the back of his head.

"So Tsuki, you going to introduce me to your friend?" Kyoko asked rudely

"Yeah Tsuki?" Kurai laughed

Tsukune glared at him and sighed "Kyoko, this is Kurai. Kurai, this is my cousin Kyoko." He introduced.

Kyoko gave him a stern look while Kurai gave her a more sly look. Tsukune then noticed that Kyoko was starting to mildly blush.

"In that case let's all get along shall we?" Kyoko asked in a voice that sounded like she was embarrassed.

"Deal." Kurai said as she shook her hand, causing her to blush even more and turn away from embarrassment.

3 Months later- Present Day

Summer was over and school was starting tomorrow. Tsukune and Kurai were currently riding the bus home in silence. Kurai was blasting his music while Tsukune was lost in his thoughts.

'To think my life is going to get interesting again. And pretty soon I can see Moka.'

"So you excited to see Moka?" Kurai said as if he could read his mind.

"How did you know?"

"Dude, it's no secret you like her. It's also no secret she likes you just the same. Is this gonna be the year you actually get with her?"

Tsukune was having a hard time coming up with the right answer, when another question made him think even more.

"What about the others?"

That was the most difficult of them all. Aside from Moka, Tsukune had four other girls all madly in love with him. That's when he realized something else bugged him.

"Kurai, would it be weird if I liked the other Moka?" He asked nervously.

"You mean Inner Moka?"

Tsukune nodded.

Kurai took a second to think of Inner Moka as a kind loving person, someone who's sweet and bubbly, and is all lovey dovey. And just like that he felt a chill up his spine at the very thought. Kurai then patted Tsukune on the back.

"Dude, if you try making a move, she'll kill you. You really want to get kicked in the crotch by her?" Kurai covered his gonads thinking what it would feel like getting hit by her.

Meanwhile, the Bus Driver was snickering, huffing on his cigar listening in on their conversation.

"This is one of the aspects of being young. Even after all they went through, they brush it off and talk about stuff like this." He thought as he continued puffing.

After getting acquainted with their friends, finding their classes, and pretty much surviving the first three days of school. The others found themselves at the Newspaper Club. And that's when things went downhill.

Everyone and Gin were conversing on what they should put in the paper, and by conversing, I mean Gin reading a Newspaper while the girls fought ove Tsukune. That's when a familiar person walked in.

"Hey Ruby." Moka greeted and bowed. Everyone did the same and bowed at the older witch, all except Yukari who gave her a hug. Ruby smiled at the fact everyone was happy to see her, her gaze then turned serious.

"I don't have time to chat, I'm here with a message from the Headmaster."

"What kind of message?" Mizore asked.

"The Headmaster wants to see the entire Newspaper Club." She answered

If there were two words that could accurately describe the Headmaster's office. Creepy and Unsettling. Even if he was a demon, this place still gave Kurai the creeps.

After Ruby guided everyone to the office and showed them in. That's when everyone's blood turned cold.

When the door closed behind Kurai, he literally felt like he had entered an execution chamber. The office was a large, dark room. The only light was coming from candles that lined the walls on either side of him. All around the room were cabinets covered with skulls. It looked like the kind of room that made emos pee their pants

"Normally if you see a place like this, you run." Kurai chuckled.

"Welcome Newspaper Club," came a low voice from the darkest end of the room.

Everyone was silent the moment he talked. It was Moka who responded. "Uh hi," she said, trying to keep her voice from shaking. "I like your office. Very… unique."

The headmaster chuckled. He sounded even creepier than the bus driver. As they all came closer, they saw that the man was wearing a long white robe. He kept the hood up which completely covered his face, around his neck was a cross on a necklace

Kurai walked and approached him. "Ruby said you needed to see us, might I ask what for?"

The Headmaster chuckled and sat behind his desk. From his drawer he pulled out a manilla folder.

"I'd like a favor from the Newspaper club." He said as he started to grin. "Ever since school started, a few students have been dying left to right." Everyone stared in silence and shock as he continued. "At first I thought they were mere accidents, but then I realized that someone has been brutally slaughtering them. And I can't have that."

It was Ruby who took over. "So we want the Newspaper Club to take the case and figure out whose been killing these students. Before more blood is shed."

"Wait a minute, why us?" Gin snapped.

"Because it's my understanding that you lot have a knack for sticking your noses where they don't belong." With that, he pointed to Ruby. "And to help you out, Ruby here will be at your service. I have a feeling she'll make a good asset."

Ruby bowed. "I will do whatever you say." That caused everyone to sweatdrop.

Kurumu then faced the headmaster. "So you're going to risk our lives to look for a serial killer, instead of going to the authorities?"

The Headmaster nodded.

"I'm cool with that." Kurai said.

The headmaster chuckled and handed Tsukune the folder. "This has all the information you need. The victims, time of death, and how they died. And don't worry about your classes, I talked to your teachers and some of them said you can cut class as long as it pretains to the case."

"That is awesome!" Kurai responded.

"I wish you all the best of luck, and try not to get killed." The headmaster chuckled.

As they were about to leave, the headmaster called them in for one more thing. "And try to keep this on the downlow, don't tell anyone not in the Newspaper Club. We wouldn't want the school going into panic." With that he dismissed them.

It was already getting late, so everyone decided to talk about it tomorrow before school started.

Kurai was up in his room late at night looking through the information on the recent deaths. The only thing slightly distracting him was the heavy rain.

'Died of multiple stab wounds to the gut, resulting in heavy bleeding, and a finishing slash to the head. The stab marks were way too big to be that of an average knife.' He thought as he read through the page.

All of a sudden, something came through his mind as he slipped into a black t-shirt, and a pair of trackpants. He opened the window and climbed out, making sure to close it behind him. Once he jumped and made sure he landed on wet and solid earth, he turned on a flashlight, and walked out into the woods.

Kurai was careful not to get detected and caught, his eye constantly on a swivel. As he continued walking, he let the rain completely soak him, loving every second of it. That's when he realized he was standing in front of a particular tree marked with a white flag tied to a rusty nail. Placing the flashlight between his teeth. He managed to grab on branch by branch until he reached the top. Rooted and stabbing at the center was the Lævateinn. Kurai had left it here while staying at Tsukune's, making sure no one could find it.

Once he managed to pull it out and climb back down, he heard a rustling coming from the nearby bush.

'Could it be the killer?" Kurai thought as he positioned the Lævinateinn, getting ready to kill whatever would jump at him. When he finally cleared the bush and aimed his flashlight, laying there was a girl.

The first thing that clicked into his head was: she was incredibly beautiful. She was slim and was probably below the average height. She had long, white curly hair that reached down to her back, with two bangs framing her face and reaching down to her chest. She had large blue eyes and a curvy, voluptuous body, with large breasts. They weren't as big as Kurumu's, but definitely larger than Mizore or Moka's. Her green blazer was tight fitting and she had undone two buttons on her shirt showing her cleavage, and her skirt looked small on her.

Something else than clicked in his head, not only was she soaking wet, but she was passed out as well.

(A.N. It's not what you think you perverts)

Kurai kneeled next to her and checked her pulse. The good news was she did have one. He then lightly tapped her cheek in an attempt to wake her up. "Hey you awake?"

No response

Kurai snapped his fingers. "Anyone there?"

Still no response.

Kurai sighed. "Might as well take her to the infirmiry." Kurai plunged the Lævinateinn into the trunk of the nearby tree, and picked the girl up bridal style. Surprisingly, she was incredibly lightweight.

'What I want to know is, why is she in the woods in the middle of the night.' Like he was one to talk.

Kurai did manage to get her to the infirmiry, but since it was late and the nurse wasn't there, he decided to keep an eye on her until the she arrived in the morning. The only awkward moment was having to take off her wet clothes, the only thing semi dry was her underwear. At least she wasn't awake, or else she would probably kill him. After tucking her into the infirmiry beds, he pulled up a chair and fell asleep in mere minutes.

"Hmmm" The girl stirred as she tossed and turned in her sleep. Her eyes slowly opened as they were adjusting to the fluorescent lighting. As her eyes fully opened, she sat up to see she was in the infirmiry. Her head was throbbing vigorously.

'What happened? Where am I?' She thought as she kept looking around. Her eyes turned to a medical rack that had her sopping wet clothes hanging on it. Her eyes then turned to under the covers and she realized she was in her underwear. As she covered herself, she was approached by the nurse. "It's nice to see you're finally awake dear." She said as she grabbed her clipboard from her desk.

"Miss Nurse, how did I end up in the infirmiry?" The girl asked.

"A very nice boy brought you in last night. He said he found you lying in the forest while it was raining and carried you all the way here. He even stayed during the night waiting for me to check in." She explained, then something caught her attention. "What were you doing in the forest late at night?"

"I was taking a walk, and I got lost. I remember a brach fell on my head."

"That would explain the bruise and the minor concussion. Anyway you should be fine, just rest up for a few hours and you'll be good. Your clothes should be dry in another hour"

"Okay, thank you." The girl said. As the nurse was about to leave, the girl asked her one more thing. "You said a boy brought me in here, did you by chance get his name?"

The nurse walked up to a cabinet and grabbed a particular folder. She skimmed through some words until she finally stopped. "Ah yes, he said his name was Kurai Kage. According to this, he's a member of the Newspaper Club run by Ms. Nekonome. If you want, you can thank him there after school." With that, the nurse walked out of the room, leaving the white haired girl all by herself.

"Kurai Kage." She said to herself as she pulled the covers over herself.

After that whole buisness with the white head chick, Kurai managed to eat and get dressed up. He grabbed the case file and in a quick puff of smoke, he was gone.

"Alright what do we got?" Gin asked everyone who was present.

"Gin, why do we have to be up this early?" Kurumu complained as she was putting on make-up to cover the bags on her eyes.

Gin growled. "Because if we're going to catch this killer, we got to put a lot more effort into this."

That was difficult when everyone was half asleep, even Mizore appeared from her usual hiding place snoring.

Gin sighed, he grabbed a nearby desk, and slammed the legs on the ground, scaring everyone awake. "Come on people!" He said agitated.

Kurai presented the folder. "Alright, alright." He exclaimed, he then muttered, "douche."

Kurai opened the folder. "According to this, it says each of the victims carried stab wounds, cuts, slashes, anything pertaining to a blade. So whoever is doing it is using a bladed weapon."

"That's completely sick." Moka said.

"What else?" Yukari asked.

"I did find something interesting." He said as he flipped to a particular page. "Listen to the name of the victims. Saizo Komiya, Tamao Ichinose, Tadashi Wanibuchi..."

"He was the leader of those three Lizardmen." Yukari interrupted.

"Yeah, they even got his friends Manic, and Fat Ass." Kurai responded. "And get this, turns out they whacked a couple of ex Commission members. Spectacles, Golem Man, Deshiko Deshi, Keito, and her insect trio."

"They killed twelve people in three days? Whoever they are, they don't play games?" Mizore added.

"What's even more strange is that each of the victims, are people who attacked us last year. Do you think the killer has some kind of connection to us?" Tsukune pointed out

Kurumu shivered a bit and jumped Tsukune, making sure to smother him in her bosom. "I don't care as long as my Tsukune protects me."

"KUFRUMU, I CAN'T BREATHE!" Tsukune flailed as he was suffocating. And just like that, another fight broke out between the four girls.

Kurai handed Gin the folder. "It's too early for this, I'm gonna go try to get some coffee. Try to keep them killing each other."

As Kurai got out the door, he felt someone tap on his shoulder, he turned to see Mizore.

"I thought you were just trying to get Kurumu off of Tsukune." He said.

"Her grip loosened after I froze her solid." She said as she gave him a curious look.

"What?" Kurai finally questioned.

"How'd it go with that girl last night?" She said as she fiddled with the stick of her lollipop.

"Gir...Were you spying on me last night?" Kurai almost yelled.

"Actually I was spying on Tsukune, and then I saw you walk out into the woods. What can I say? My curiousity was peaked." She answered innocent like.

"I don't even know where to begin about how creepy that is." Kurai groaned.

"So, are you going to keep dodging my question, or are you going to answer?" Mizore rebuttled

Kurai groaned. "I was looking for my sword, I found her unconsious, and I carried her to the infirmiry. That's it." He exclaimed.

"So did you share the same bed?" Mizore teased.

Kurai was unaware his face was beet red. "How long have you been watching?"

"I left sometime after you took off her clothes, I decided to give you privacy."

Steam whistled from Kurai's ears. "You are not to tell a soul or else I'll eat yours." He pointed his finger threateningly at her

She held her hands in defense. "Okay, okay, I'm done."

Kurai sighed

"Did you at least have protection?" She asked

"Forget this." He left in a huff.

The rest of the day went by pretty smoothly. It was the after school Newspaper Club meeting that went rocky.

"Any other leads on the killer?" Gin asked as he flopped the folder on the table.

"I talked to a few witnesses, they said they saw a shadow roam around the school." Moka answered. Mizore stared at Kurai who retaliated by sticking his tongue out.

"Anything else?" Gin gestured to the entire table.

All of a sudden the door swung open, and Kurai's eyes widened. Standing there holding a sheet of paper in her hands was the white haired girl Kurai had helped out. "Um hello, is this the Newspaper Club?"

Gin walked up to her and casually slicked his hair. "Yes this is the Newspaper Club. Is there anything we can do for you?" He talked in a smooth tone.

She handed him the slip. "My name is Kiria Konime." For some odd reason she stuttered this. "And I would like to join the Newspaper Club. Ms. Nekonome said it would be alright."

Gin wrapped his arms around her shoulder and subtly started to grope her. Causing her to squirm and wince from embarrasment. "We're always happy to accept new members, especially cute and sexy girls like you." As he talked his groping got more vigorous.

Kurumu got up to help her but Kurai sat her back down. "It's my turn."

Kurai picked up a wooden chair and stood behind Gin. He took a second to aim, and smashed the chair on his head, knocking out the perverted wolf. He then stepped over his head and approached the shocked Kiria

"Sorry about that, he's got issues. We're considering getting a leash." He joked.

"And a shock collar." Moka added.

Kiria giggled. "I got another question." She pointed to Tsukune, Kurai, and even Gin. "Which one of you is Kurai Kage?"

Kurai raised his hand. "That would be me." All of a sudden he was seized in a hug by her.

"Thank you for helping me when I needed it." She then kissed him on the cheek.

Kurai felt his heart beat go faster, and the blood rushing to his face. Everyone watched at her display of affection

"U..um..um i-it's okay. You're welcome." He stuttered.

She giggled again as a small blush formed on her face.

The awkward moment was interrupted when Kurumu wrapped an arm around Kurai.

"So you going to tell us how you know her?" She teased as she gave him a noogie.

"Kurai found her in the woods and took her to the infirmiry." Mizore blurted out.

"DUDE!" Kurai yelped.

"And he took off her clothes." She finished.

"OH COME ON!" He yelled.

"It's okay, I know you didn't do anything lecherous, and I really appreciate it." Kiria turned to the others to hide her blush from him.

After the awkward Newspaper Club meeting, and Kiria joining. Kurai brought the case file to his room and took a long cold shower. Letting the icy sensation run through his veins.

After the shower, he slipped into his pajamas and sat on his desk. He was lost in his thoughts thinking about Kiria, and how grateful she was.

'What's wrong with me? Why did I act like that?' He took out his journal and started to write:

Journal Entry #9

Today was particularly the strangest of them all. That girl I helped, Kirai Konime. I don't even know what to think. For some reason, I feel weird around her, and I just met her. She even joined the Newspaper Club.

I wonder, why?

I wonder if it's like I have some kind of crush on her. I mean she is beautiful. Stunning, I even felt a strange urge when I had to take off her clothes. Now I sound like Gin, and I'm scared.

I don't know why I acted like that, I mean I hang around pretty girls all the time, they're pretty much the only people I can trust.

So should I trust her? Should I?

After the writing Kurai placed on a pair of sneakers, and in a quick puff of smoke, he was gone.

After the initial fight at the Newspaper Club, Tsukune decided to hide out in his room for a little peace and quiet. He pretty much spent the rest of the day avoiding the girls, even Moka.

*BANG*

Next thing he knew, his room was completely covered in smoke. Once it was clear, he saw Kurai standing in his pajamas.

"Dude, seriously can't you just knock?" Tsukune coughed as he fanned the smoke wafting on his face.

"Where's the fun in that?" Kurai grinned.

After opening the window, Tsukune turned to Kurai. "What do you want?"

"I have to go get my sword from the woods, and I need someone to talk to."

Tsukune sighed. "Alright"

As they walked through the Yokai woods, they were lost in their conversation.

"You like Kiria?" Tsukune's eyes widened at the question.

"I don't know, maybe." Kurai responded as they navigated through the woods.

"I need." He held back a lump in his throat. "Relationship advice." Kurai gagged at the very words.

Tsukune busted out laughing. He then turned to Kurai who had a serious look to his face. "You're serious?"

Kurai nodded.

Tsukune took a deep breath and thought about it. "Why don't you try becoming her friend, and see where it takes you." He suggested.

"That's pretty good advice."

As the two continued walking, Tsukune decided to change the subject. "What do you think of the recent killings?"

"We don't have any solid evidence to at least verify a suspect. At this point, it could be anyone." Kurai stated.

"But these attacks weren't random. Each suspect was someone who attacked us last year. It can't be just a coincidence." Tsukune pointed out.

"Hold on a second." Kurai said as he approached the tree with the white flag. He then stepped towards the bush where he found Kiria and looked at the nearby tree.

"Tsukune, you might want to see this." Kurai yelled.

Tsukune walked up to him and faced the tree he was looking at, only to see a large hole in the trunk. "I don't see anything." Tsukune pointed out.

"That's the point, it's gone!" Kurai responded.

"Are you sure this is where you left it?" Tsukune asked.

"There's a hole in the trunk, I'm pretty sure I left it here." Kurai spat sarcastically.

They both observed the hole until a slight rustling caught Tsukune's attention, Kurai was too focused on the hole to notice. As Tsukune turned, he saw a shadowy figure swing a sword towards them.

"Watch out!" Tsukune yelled as he shoved Kurai. The blade had managed to slash the both of them as they moved away from it with one sting. They both fell to the ground in a heap as they were bleeding from their abdomens. Kurai coughed up dirt and looked up to see a hooded figure holding the Lævateinn. Kurai drew out his combat knife and intercepted as the figure swung the sword downwards towards him. Kurai managed to disarm the sword and threw it across the ground, unintentionally throwing his knife as well.

Kurai swung a right hook at the assailant, but the figure dodged by flopping on their back, he took advantage of the distracted Kurai and kicked him in the kneecap. Kurai felt his bone snap, and fell on top of him in sheer pain. They both scuffled on the ground and the figure ended up on top of him. He held Kurai's arms down and pinned him to the ground. As Kurai struggled, he looked at the figure and saw strands of white hair falling from the hood.

Tsukune slowly got up clutching his side to stop the bleeding. He turned to see Kurai being pinned down by the attacker. He looked down to see Kurai's knife at his feet. Without a moment's hesitation, Tsukune picked up the knife and stabbed the assailant in the back of his head. The figure disappeared in a puff of smoke.

Tsukune helped Kurai up on his feet and Kurai grabbed on his shoulder to support himself. As they started to walk, Kurai noticed that Tsukune's eyes were completely different. Instead of brown, they were dark red and slitted.

"Dude, you okay?" Kurai asked.

Before Tsukune could answer, he fell in a heap sending Kurai down with him. When Kurai landed on the ground, he felt his bone crack even more.

"Aah shit!" He cursed hoarsely as he then realized two things. For one, Tsukune was severely bleeding from where the Lævateinn slashed him, and so was he. As Kurai realized about the wound, his body grew heavy and numb. He laid on his side trying to stay awake but was growing more difficult as his eyelids grew heavy.

He concentrated on trying to heal the wounnd, he focused all of his power in an attempt to heal himself. But the slash would not close. Heavy fatigue fell over him as he slumped.

His eyesight became blurry as he saw someone run up to him, he couldn't get a good look, all he saw was a flash of pink.

"Help" That was the last thing he said before everything went black.

That's it for Part 1, hope you all enjoyed it.
