Sorry for taking so long. Wait, it's only been like two days. I choose not to justify my reasons, so I shall remain Anonymous. Although if you read this chapter, you'd understand

Quick Announcement: In three days, this story will be moved to rated M

With that, here's Icy Hell.

Kurai, Miko and Levy took deep breaths as they finished their work, In front of them stood a gravestone made out of the various resources from the forest around them. They had buried Kami's remains in a proper cemetery a few days ago. Kurai wanted to make this as a memorial for her. They stared at the gravestone for a long time, before Kurai reached into his pocket. He pulled out the last thing he had to remember his foster mother by, the picture of them and his father back before he was kidnapped. Kurai placed the photo in front of the tombstone and read the inscription he wrote himself:

Here lies Kami Simney Kage

A kind mother and a pure Angel

May she find eternal rest and happiness.

She will be missed, but not forgotten

Katsumi approached her children and wrapped her arms around their shoulders. "She would've been so proud to see you two all grown up."

Miko cracked a smile, while Kurai merely glimpsed at his work. "She didn't deserve this." He muttered.

Katsumi smiled at her son and hugged him. "She loved you like you were her own son."

"Despite blood relations, I still am." Kurai scowled as a tear rolled down his cheek. "What kind of son eats his own mother's soul?"

Katsumi ruffled his hair. "She would've wanted you to live by any means." His mother consoled. "So don't let her die in vain."

Kurai looked up at her and smirked.

As everyone loaded onto the bus.

"Are you sure you don't want to come?" Kurai asked Miko and Ayami as everyone stepped on the bus. Levy jumped and hung onto his shoulders.

Miko and Muffy nodded no simultaneously. "We still need to take care of mother. Now that Angus is dead and zombie girl is going to be living here, someone has got to do the shopping."

Kurai grinned awkwardly remembering his fight with the mummy. As if she could read his thoughts, Kurai's mother approached him with something draped on her shoulders and hugged him. "You did what you had to do, so I don't blame you." Katsumi consoled. "Now that the Angel's out of Scotland, we don't have to go into hiding anymore." She momentarily released him, and just like that embraced him again in a bone crushing hug. "Be careful, and if you survive, promise to visit for Christmas?"

"If I survive, I will." Kurai gave her a cheesy grin. She took the item from her shoulders and handed him a gray jacket. "It gets really cold in the snow village, so cover up." Katsumi gave him a heartwarming smile.

"You're already getting the embarrassing mom thing down." Kurai hugged her back and she stepped back into the house.

Ginei walked off the bus and nudged his shoulders. "We really got to get going."

"Give me another minute." Kurai responded.

Miko approached him and hugged him while Muffy licked his cheek. "Don't disappear this time." She stepped into the house without saying another word.

And then there was Ayami. Despite him realizing he did know her, he still had no recollection of their times together. They looked at each other in silent for a few seconds before Kurai handed her his pocket knife. "I seem to recall this was yours." He told her as she took it off his hands.

"I don't really need it anymore." He gestured to Levy, who turned into an exact replica of the blade.

"I can't believe you kept it after so long." Ayami gave him a hug and sniffled on his shoulders. Kurai could feel Kiria from behind him glaring holes into his brain from the bus window.

"Before I leave, I just need to ask you something. How exactly did you find me?"

Ayami gestured to her leg and showed him the mark of the Angel's Purifiers. Kurai didn't need to ask any further. "I was finally caught a month after you disappeared and placed in a cell, where they severed my arms, legs, and head, and hung them so I couldn't do anything. In the chaos, they fell and I finally got out of there."

"You went a year without a head?" Kurai asked in both shock, disbelief, and slight disgust. "Didn't that hurt?"

Ayami gripped her neck and yanked her head clean off her body. "At first, but I got used to it in like two minutes."

Several screams from the bus rang in Kurai's ears. Levy gripped on his neck, followed by Kiria yelling. "Get your head on straight! And Kurai, get on the bus!"

"Okay, I'm coming!" Kurai yelled back as Ayami placed her head back on.

Kurai raised his finger. "One last thing."

Kurai walked onto the bus with a gob smacked look on his face as he sat down next to Kiria. Levy got off his shoulder and cuddled next to Kiria. The bus departed with Ayami waving goodbye.

Tsukune sat next to Moka, who rested her head on his shoulders. Mizore glared at both her and Kurumu as she was pressing her soft breast on Tsukune's head, the latter was starting to feel extremely uncomfortable. Yukari and Ruby were discussing various types of spells, and magic. Gin was lost in his music, and Kokoa wouldn't stop ogling Moka.

As they drove Kiria turned to Kurai as Levy fell asleep on her lap. He looked down for a while and her curiosity was beyond peaked. "So what did you ask Ayami?" She mumbled gaining his attention.

"I asked her if we ever kissed, or "did it" in the past." He responded casually. Kiria's heart raced and her blood started boiling. "And what did she say?" She gritted as she prepared to strangle him.

"I'll tell you later."

After wasting an hour on winter clothes shopping and driving. Everyone found themselves standing in front of Mizore's hometown house.

Thanks to Kurumu's fashion sense, everyone had both comfortable and stylish winter clothing.

Tsukune wore an army green snow jacket with white gloves, matching pants, and black snow boots. Kurai sported a similar attire, but it was a red and black jacket with blue snow pants and camo gloves. Ginei wore a black dog fur coat with black pants to match, black snow boots, and white gloves.

The girls were busy showing off their new winter attire. Moka wore a simple pink jacket and pants, with earmuffs. Kurumu sported a blue jacket with white snow pants, while Kiria wore an all white winter attire almost camouflaging her with the snow. Yukari wore a long trench coat that reached up to her legs, and cat eared earmuffs. Ruby sported a purple trench coat similar to Yukari's. Kokoa wore all red, and Levy found a teal green coat that fitted her precisely.

While everyone was bundled up, Mizore's attire consisted of a kimono that reached up to her upper thighs with an obi red sash.

She glided to Tsukune and hugged his arm. "Do you like my outfit Tsukune? Pretty cute isn't it?" She gave him a warm smile hoping to soften him up.

"It really is." Tsukune chuckled to her. Kurumu gritted her teeth and pushed Mizore out of the way. "Just because we're in your home turf, doesn't mean you can hog him to yourself." She clunged to Tsukune and rubbed her chest on his arm. "Besides my outfit is cuter, huh Tsukune?"

Moka approached Kurumu and tried to pry her off of him. "Kurumu, stop being so clingy." She struggled.

Before Kurumu could respond, she was suddenly frozen in a block of ice. "I'll kindly ask you not to shove my daughter in her own home." A woman walked out of the house with her claws made of ice. Mizore approached the woman and hugged her. "It's really good to see you mother."

Mizore's mother looked exactly like her from the future, except her hair was more silver instead of violet. She wore a white kimono with a purple obi sash, and she walked across the snow bare footed.

Kurai and Moka approached the youthful woman and bowed. "It's really good to see you Mrs. Shirayuki." They said at the same time.

"I remember you two from the funeral." She embraced the two in a bone crushing hug. "I really can't thank you enough for bringing my baby girl back."

The two escaped from her grasp. "It was nothing really." Moka assured her.

"We're just glad she's alive." Kurai pointed out.

Tsurara nodded and turned towards Tsukune, who was busy trying to thaw out Kurumu with his Hell Fire. "You must be Tsukune Aono. Mizore has told me so much about you." At the call of his name, Kurai took over unfreezing Kurumu as Tsukune bowed. "It's nice to meet you Mrs. Shirayuki."

She waved him off in response. "Please call me Tsurara." She told him. She turned to Ginei, who was taking pictures of the snowy scenery.

"Aren't you Ginei Morioka? The one who trained my little girl over her breaks?" She asked.

Gin slicked his hair back and approached her, giving her a sly smile. "What else has your daughter told you about me?" He asked thinking she said good things about him.

"You might want to start sleeping with one eye open." She presented a sharp ice finger claw.

Gin whimpered and stepped back.

He gestured to the two witches. "Yukari and Ruby, right?"

"Yukari Sendo, resident genious." She boasted.

"Ruby Toujo at your service." She bowed in respect.

She turned to Kokoa. "And you might be-?"

Kokoa huffed. "Kokoa Shuzen, the one and onl...HEY!" She yelled as Tsurara strode to Kiria and Levy.

Levy waved to her. "Nya nya nya nya nya nya."

Kurai patted her head. "She said her names Levy and you look just like your daughter."

Tsurara smiled and pinced her cheek, while Levy giggled. "I have a soft spot for kids." She then turned to Kiria.

She bowed in response. "Kiria Konime." She introduced.

"Konime? Ichiya Konime's daughter?"

Kiria nodded in response. "Well it's an honor to meet a Konime." Shirayuki bowed.

"I should be the one who's honored. Thank you for letting me stay here for a while." Kiria said slightly embarrassed.

Kurumu finally was unfrozen and approached Mizore's mother, who was occupied staring at her ocean blue hair. "Are you by chance Ageha Kurono's daughter?"

Kurumu nodded. "My name is Kurumu." Her face vaulted as Mizore's mother abruptly left.

"Well than, why don't you all make yourselves at home?" She gestured to her house. Giant House-Sized Wooden Cabin would better fit the description. "We have separate rooms for each of you, and three hot springs located in the back."

Kurumu approached Mizore as everyone brought their stuff into the house. "I thought you were an only child."

Mizore nodded. "I am." Kurumu looked and saw a somewhat sad smile on Mizore's features.

"Doesn't it get lonely, living in this big house?" Kurumu asked trying to remedy the situation, only indirectly making it worse.

"It's just me and my parents. I got used to being alone." Mizore was surprised as she felt Kurumu wrap her arms around her body. "Well you're not alone anymore." She assured her, Kurumu unwrapped herself and gave Mizore the kindest smile she's ever given to her. "Even if we're love rivals. We're, if not best friends, aren't we?"

Mizore nodded dumbly, not knowing how to respond. She looked behind Kurumu and saw Tsukune with his arm wrapped around Moka, and briefly saw him give her a peck on the cheek. A single tear rolled down Mizore's cheek at the very sight. Kurumu saw the tear and assumed it to be tears of joy.

As she hugged her again, Mizore suddenly blurted. "Moka and Tsukune did it." Kurumu's eyes widened as she heard those words.

"I saw them." Mizore added as she started to sniffle.

Everything seemed to crash in Kurumu's world and the image of a perfect life with Tsukune shattered. A single tear rolled down her cheek as she whispered to herself. "That's not going to stop me."

Everyone placed down their suitcases and looked around the house. The kitchen was huge and there really was enough rooms for everyone. The living room quarters was quite cozy even with a small fireplace, and wood burning stove.

Ruby turned to Tsurara. "I noticed that the village is nowhere in sight."

Tsurara nodded. "The village is actually on the other side of the mountains. It's a good two-three hour hike."

"So this place is secluded from the village?" Yukari asked in response.

"I enjoy the quiet." Tsurara responded

Kurai went up to find an available room and Kiria discreetly followed him up. He found a room with a bed, dresser, and closet. Kurai dropped his bag and sat on the bed as Kiria snuck behind him and placed a hand on his shoulder. Kurai gripped her hand and swung her on the bed. He kneeled on top of her and they both made direct eye contact. "Any reason you're sneaking up on me?"

Kiria blushed and pushed him off of her. She lied on top of him and kissed him with passion. "We finally get some alone time." She broke off the kiss and kissed his cheek. She felt relieved that she had him all to herself and no one else. "You know there is an aurora that's so beautiful in the night sky, maybe later, we can go out, and take a nice long walk."

Kurai blushed at her boldness and smirked. "That sounds excellent, babe." She kissed his cheek and stood up. "I got to go help Moka and the others unpack." She kissed him one more time. "Bye Snookie."

The minute she closed the door, Kurai found a trash can and hurled in it.

Later that night:

Tsukune was sound asleep as a sudden draft woke him up with a start. As soon as his eyes opened, he blushed deeply as Kurumu leaning over him in nothing but a short white nightie and panties.

Her sudden appearance scared Tsukune and he screamed only for her to cover his mouth with her breast to keep him quiet. She released him from her cleavage and whispered in his ear. "Shhh! Keep your voice down. Do you want everyone to know that I'm in here?"

"But why are you in here?" He asked.

She winked and hung her arms around his shoulders for support. "It's obvious, isn't it?" She leaned again and licked his earlobe. He shuddered as she whispered. "I want to spend the night with my love." She brushed her nose and looked into his eyes. "Don't worry, I made it so no one could be able to hear us."

Tsukune sighed and sat up. "Kurumu, I'm really sorry to tell you this, but-" She covered his mouth with her hand. "I already know what happened between you and Moka. It's okay, I forgive you."

Tsukune sighed, and then a realization hit him like a bag of rocks. "You knew?"

Kurumu nodded and rested her head on his chest. "You don't have to apologize for cheating on me."

Tsukune blushed and stood up trying to think of something to tell her. "Kurumu, you don't understand. I'm not the guy for you."

Kurumu held a look of fear as she realized where he was going with this. "Of course you are Tsukune, you're my Destined One. My Mate of Fate." She started to cry.

"Kurumu you need to understand-" She interrupted him with a tackle that smothered him in her breast muffling his voice. "Don't say it, please don't!" She cried. "You don't understand. You just don't."

Tsukune used his strength, and for the first time, forced Kurumu off of him. She fell onto the bed and looked at the serious expression on his face. This was completely different to the Tsukune she first met.

"Tsukune." She sniffled. "Please don't."

"Kurumu, I-"

"NO!" She yelled. Tsukune made the mistake of looking deep into her purple eyes, and found everything becoming hazy. Tsukune mumbled as Kurumu's soft lips pressed against his. He remembered the same feeling from when they first met.

Kurumu looked at him with guilt. She wanted nothing more than to get Tsukune without her magic, but she panicked and didn't have another choice. "I'm sorry Tsukune." She said to him.

Tsukune's eyes had a glazed look to them. "For what?" He asked, but that wasn't what he thought. 'Kurumu, lift the spell. Please.' He begged in his head.

Kurumu approached Tsukune and hugged him with her head on his chest. Without his willpower, Tsukune's hands moved on their own and wrapped around her waist. "Kurumu, you're so beautiful." He said to her.

'I know this is how I didn't want it to be. But if this is what it takes.' She looked up at Tsukune's glazed eyes, and gave a soft smile. She got on her tip toes and kissed him on the lips. "Let's go to bed." She said to him. He suddenly picked her up bridal style and strode over to the bed. "Whatever makes you happy." He unconsciously muttered

'Kurumu please, you're better than this.' He screamed in his head. He saw as he placed her down on the bed and slowly began to take off his own shirt. 'I can't go through with this.'

He took off his shirt and tossed it aside. He crawled on top of Kurumu and stroked her cheek as the two engaged in a passionate lip locking. A tingling sensation ran rampant through Kurumu's mind as he took off her white night gown, she couldn't process anything except for the fact.

"Your lips are so soft." She whispered as they broke the kiss.

Tsukune lied her down and kneeled on top of her. He brushed away some hair covering her eyes and gazed at her watery eyes.

"You're crying." He said.

'She's crying?' He thought.

"They're happy tears." She lied. The truth was she was ashamed of herself for having to resort to this. "Tsukune, have your way with me." She tearfully said.

'Kurumu stop this!' He yelled in his head. His body worked on it's own and snapped her bra off, revealing her supple, perfect breasts. Kurumu meanwhile blushed from embarassment and looked away.

'I can't believe this is actually about to happen.' He thought as his hands stroked her cheeks and he kissed her lips trailing down to her neck. Kurumu shuddered but only let out a few unsatisfied grunts. He cupped each of her firm breasts and squeezed her as he kissed the valley between them. Kurumu ran her fingers over his chest and was impressed at how developed and chiseled it was. She shuddered at his toned abs and kissed the top of his head. "Tsukune~" She moaned.

Her moans turned him on and his hands trailed down until he had a visual on her underwear. As he slipped his fingers through the waistline, his thoughts ran wild.

'I can't do this.' His thoughts yelled.

Tsukune suddenly stopped and looked up at Kurumu. The latter stared down and paled at his stone cold glare. 'He broke through the spell?' She thought.

Tsukune pushed himself off of her and slipped his shirt on. "Kurumu, get out." He demanded refusing to look at her. Kurumu snapped her bra on and wrapped her arms around his shoulders. "Tsukune, I'm so sorr-"

"Don't bother." He slipped his pants on. "It's one thing charming me-"

"Tsukune, I was trying t-" Kurumu released her grip and was interrupted by his harsh tone.

"But, it's different when you try to force me into sex. Kurumu, this is where I draw the line."

Kurumu sat on the bed. "Don't say it. Please, just don't."

"Kurumu, I can't lo-"

"CHARM MAGIC!" She yelled giving him an eye blast. Tsukune stood his ground and continued glaring at her. She stuttered at how he wasn't charmed. She sent him eye blast after eye blast of her Allure, but it was ineffective.

"How're you not~" She remembered that this wasn't the Tsukune who was so easy to manipulate when they first met. This Tsukune has changed so much.

"Try all you want, but I know all your tricks."

Kurumu sniffled and started to tear up. "I'm so sorry." That was all she could mutter.

Tsukune sighed. "Sorry isn't going to cut it. You went too far this time."

Kurumu looked down on the floor and shuffled her feet. "I didn't have any other choice. You love Moka so much, and it's like you spend so much time with her, that I feel I'm nothing more than a fading memory." She did her best to hold back her tears.

"But that doesn't give you an excuse to charm people to get what you want." Tsukune argued.

Kurumu sniffled. "Don't you think I know that? I hated charming you, I was actually about to lift the spell. Because it wasn't you making love to me."

Tsukune softened up a bit. 'She really was going to lift the spell.'

"I don't care if we have sex, or even get married. I just want you to love me. That's all I ask." Kurumu said.

"Easier said, than done." Tsukune picked up her nightie and handed it to her. As he stood up, she suddenly embraced him and wrapped her arms around him. She finally let out her tears and they soaked Tsukune's shirt. "I want you to know that I love you." She whispered as she pressed her lips against his covered chest.

Tsukune sighed. "Weird way of showing it, huh?"

"Can I stay with you for tonight?" She suddenly asked him.

Tsukune was getting ready to say no. "Kurumu-"

"No sex." She guaranteed. "I just want to sleep with you, that's it."

"Kurumu, why are you so desperate for this?"

"I was so jealous Moka took your virginity, I wanted to take you for myself. But I was so caught up in my feelings that I forgot about yours." She buried her face in his shoulder. "I tried to force you to have sex with me. I just wanted you to love me like you did Moka." She cried, then took a deep breath. "I'm sorry. I still want to have sex, but I won't force you. Only if you want to." She said, lifting her head up. Her dark, purple eyes were stained with tears. "I really do love you." She said in a soft voice, resting her head against his chest. "Plus, if you rejected me, my heart wouldn't have been able to take it."

"Kurumu." Tsukune was interrupted once again.

"I just want to sleep here with you. No sex, no nothing. But that's only if you don't want to."

Tsukune was trying to think of a way out of this, but couldn't take his eyes off of how puffy her's were from her tears. Tsukune finally gave in and lied down on his back. Kurumu followed and rested her head on his chest. She crawled up and kissed his cheek. He turned around on his side and they were face to face with each other. She gave him a soft smile, as she was ready to go to bed. "I really do love yo-mmph!" She stuttered as his lips clashed against hers. He slowed down the rhythm, and it soon became passionate.

As soon as they broke the kiss, Kurumu was at a loss for words. "Is this what you really want?" He asked with a serious tone.

Kurumu nodded and looked down, only for him to tilt her chin up. "Okay, then." He said as he engaged in another lip lock with her. She felt happy, she was finally kissing the man she loved. Not a forced one, not one she manipulated him into doing. She lied back and Tsukune crawled on top of her and kissed her cheek and trailed down to her neck, erecting a small moan as he started sucking her neck resisting the urge to bite her. Kurumu lifted off his shirt and tossed it aside, next came his pants, and was reduced to his boxers. Tsukune snapped off her bra and trailed his tongue down to her right breast and swirled around her erect nipple with his tongue. Kurumu arched her back as ripples of pleasure coursed through her veins.

"Dear god Tsukune." She gasped. She moaned as Tsukune massaged both of her breasts and trailed back to her lips. As their tongues clashed, Kurumu's hands wandered and shimmied her panties off. She took it off with her legs and ran her fingers through his hair as he took off his boxers.

"My turn." Kurumu moaned as she flipped on top of him and straddled his chest. "Can I?" She didn't want to continue without an answer.

Tsukune wrapped his hand around her curved waist and gave her a smile. "Go ahead." Her face lit up as she put her hand around his penis and began to stroke it, making him moan a little. She let go of it and put it between her breasts, going up and down, making him moan. The feeling of his dick being squeezed by her large, soft breasts was amazing. She made it even more amazing when she sucked it as she gave him a breast job. The softness of her breasts and the warm, wetness of her mouth all rubbing against his cock, made him shudder with pleasure.

She loved the taste. It wasn't sweet, but bitter. Even still, she loved it and wanted more of it. She loved hearing him moan as she sucked and rubbed his dick. She ceased with her breast job and continued sucking on his cock. Even still, she loved it and wanted more of it. She loved hearing him moan as she sucked him. She was happy he was enjoying this.

"Kurumu, I'm about to cum!" She heard him say something, until she felt something warm enter her mouth. It was bitter and salty, but she liked it still. She sucked and sucked until he released everything he had into her mouth. She swallowed every last drop, licking his dick for any that dribbled out of her mouth, and kissing the tip.

"It's so juicy and sweet." She complimented as she sat up and they switched places. He leaned his head down at her vagina and ran his tongue against her pink, wet pussy, making her moan. He moved it up and down, making Kurumu moan and mew with pleasure. He went up and down, and swirled it along her delicate womanhood. She screamed with ecstasy when he shoved his tongue into her pussy and began to explore every inch of it. She started wiggling, unable to prevent herself from climaxing. He saw the juices all over her bed, so he licked them up.

She looked and saw his member was hard again. He positioned it at her entrance. She gulped, wondering if it was going to fit inside of her. The answer came quickly and painfully as he slammed into her with one swift motion, breaking right through her virgin barrier. She trembled in pain, understanding how he broke his hand. She held him tightly, tears rolling down her face. Tsukune kissed the tears away, making her smile. Once she calmed down, he began moving in and out. The pain she once felt was replaced with pleasure. Her moans were no more, as she was screaming now as she made love to the one she loved. Her 'Destined One.

"Tsukune~" She moaned with each thrust. He was so big in her and she loved it. It was like nothing she had ever felt before. All she could do is moan and scream his name, being careful not to wake anybody up. He groped her breasts as he continued thrusting her. Not able to take it anymore, she climaxed, tightening around him, making him climax as well. They both moaned each other's names in ecstasy as he moved out of her. He breathed heavily as she gently lied him down and kissed him. "Now let Kurumu take over. Yahohoo." She cooed as she then kissed his cheek.

Tsukune gripped the sheets as she straddled her vagina over his penis and slowly rode down. Tsukune gritted his teeth at how tight she was, no matter what, he loved the feeling. Having sex with Kurumu, was a whole lot different than Moka. He couldn't deny how good it felt. And how freaking tight she was as she bounced up and down. He grunted every time she bounced off his hips and he clamped his hands on her lusciously curved, toned butt and guided her. She went for her hair and pulled her hair ribbon off, allowing her hair to fall down her shoulders.

"Kurumu, you're amazing." He suddenly blurted, those words caused Kurumu to blush and double her speed. The waves of unbelievable pleasure caused her head to buck back, and she finally felt herself about to release one more time.

"I love you Tsukune!" She moaned as she finally came along with him. She was extremely exhausted and fell on top of him, he gripped her right breast and slowly lowered her down.

She sighed heavily and snuggled against his chest. "That was beyond amazing." Her chest heaved up and down and she yawned contently. She crawled up his body and looked deep into his honey brown eyes. Tsukune looked into her eyes and noticed the gleam showing in them. She looked happier than he's ever seen her.

"I really do love you." She kissed him on the lips and broke after a few seconds. She cuddled against his chest and closed her eyes. She made sure to press her boobs on his chest, as she finally dozed off.

Tsukune didn't want to hurt her feelings by not responding. "I love you too Kurumu."

Kurumu's eyes shot open and then softened at those very words. She knew in his heart, that he still had his heart for Moka, but she felt content with just hearing him say that. The three words she wanted to hear for so long from her Destined One. Tsukune noticed she was shivering from the cold and covered both of them in the sheets and blankets. He wrapped an arm around her shoulder, and looked down at her sleeping form.

"She's really cute when she's asleep." He looked closely and noticed a small purple light coursing across her body like energy. He could feel several different emotions and feelings eminating from it. Kindness, confidence, shyness, and love. He was so preoccupied with it, he wasn't aware that his eyes were glowing red.

'Is this her soul?'

Tsukune's mind started drooping and his eyelids grew heavy. He blinked for a second and saw with a blurry sight as a figure loomed over him, with what looked like something preparing to strike them with. Tsukune sat up a bit and rubbed some stuff out of his eyes. When his vision cleared, he saw the room completely empty, illuminated by the moonlight.

"Something wrong?" Kurumu asked in an innocent voice as she looked up at him. His sudden sitting up woke her up with her arms draped over his chest. Tsukune wrapped an arm around her waist and lied back. "Nothing, just seeing things." He looked at her body again and saw the light had disappeared.

"Let's go back to sleep." She suggested as she lied back and allowed his head to use her breast as make-shift pillows. 'I'd be lying if I said they weren't soft.' After feeling her well-formed breast for a moment, he finally fell asleep in peace.

As the morning sun drafted her eyelids, Kurumu woke up and realized she was no longer in Tsukune's room, and was fully clothed.

'He must've put me back in case someone barged in.' She blushed and putted on fresh clothes.

She walked out the door to join everyone for breakfast.

Moka, Kiria, Levy, and Kokoa approached one of the hot spings in nothing but towels covering their nude bodies. The mixture of hot water and snow made a constant amount of thick steam.

"These look really relaxing." Kokoa said as she uncapped one of her herb remedies.

Moka and Kokoa poured their special herbs into the springs, and slowly stepped in letting the warm water run through their freezing bodies.

"This is really relaxing." Kiria submerged herself in the water. She suddenly saw three more bodies join them.

Yukari slid in with Ruby and sighed in the warm bath. "It's nice taking a warm bath in the cold." She sighed.

Moka stretched and sat back. "Rejuvinating the body and soul. It's nice and relaxing." She agreed.

Kurumu gritted her teeth. "I wish Tsukune was here though." She glared at Moka, who was talking to Yukari, and most likely didn't hear her. She then thought back to last night and blushed in embarrassment.

Ruby sighed. "It's a shame the boys aren't here. They probably would've enjoyed this."

"What are we invisible?" The girls turned to see all three boys hiding in a cloud of steam, all watching the naked girls with skeptic looks. A majority of them covered their breasts, while Kokoa grabbed a rock, and threw it at the three. "Get out of here!" She yelled at them. They dodged the rock and stayed where they were.

Yukari hid behind Ruby. "Why are you three in the female baths?" She turned to Gin, and then to Tsukune and Kurai. "Let me rephrase, why are you two here?"

Moka turned her back on them with a visible blush on her face. "You guys shouldn't barge in here trying to peep on us."

Tsukune spoke in their defense. "We were actually here first." Kurai and Gin nodded in agreement.

"We've been here for like ten minutes." Gin added.

"Besides lighten up." Kurai said the three stood up and the girls covered their eyes, they then turned and saw the three were wearing swim trunks. "It's not like we're actually naked."

Tsukune and Moka made direct eye contact and did their best not to show everyone their blush. Kurumu was the only one who noticed and felt her heart pang. Tsukune then turned to her and she felt her cheeks burn as he smiled at her.

"Hey did anybody else have earmuffs on last night?" Moka changed the subject as she presented a pink cushioned set to everyone.

"Yeah I had the exact same one." Ruby agreed.

"Same here." Gin added. "I couldn't hear a thing."

Tsukune looked at Kurumu, who raised her hand. "I had the same one." She looked at him and her facial expression told him to act casual.

All of a sudden the sound of the door slid open, and everyone turned to see Mrs. Shirayuki completely starch naked. With one arm covering her breasts. "Oh dear, I forgot to mention that one of the baths were unisex."

Kurai and Tsukune's nose erupted in a nosebleed, and Gin started panting like a dog.

Tsurara casually stepped in and sat with the girls. "Why don't you boys take off those offending articles?"

"With pleasure." Ginei went towards his waist band and was suddenly electrocuted by Tsukune. "Take it off, and we put you down."

"Yeah we're good like this." Kurai put his hands behind his head and sighed. "This really is relaxing."

Tsurara stood up and approached Tsukune and Kurai. She apparently had no shame in letting them see her womanhood. Then two looked away hoping not to die at the hands of their girlfriends. "While I have you two, can you do me a favor? I'm making dinner in a few hours. But I need a special herb that only grows up in the mountains. Can you be dears and grab some and bring them down?"

"We just got in here." Kurai argued. He made the mistake of looking as Tsurara stood in front of the two allowing them to see her full figure.

She crouched down next to them. "Can't you do this for me, please?" She begged.

Both boys tried their best to hold in a nosebleed as they quickly slid out of the bath carrying an unconscious Gin and putting their clothes on.

They rushed and dragged him back into the house and came back with their gear packs. Tsukune carried a set of skis on his back while Kurai carried a snowboard. "We'll be back in a few hours, don't wait up." Kurai yelled off.

"Come back soon you two." Tsurara yelled as the girls waved them off.

"Nya nya!" Levy yelled.

When the boys disappeared heading up, the girls relaxed now that it was just them. Yukari looked at Mrs. Shirayuki, who looked like she was trying to remember something.

"Is everything okay Mrs. Shirayuki?" Yukari asked.

Tsurara sighed. "I feel like I forgot to tell them something." She pondered for a second. "Oh right, I forgot to tell them they could use the snowmobiles I have." Everyone's sweat dropped. "You don't say?" Moka asked.

Tsukune and Kurai started up the mountain and found themselves lucky not to be caught in a storm. As they walked, Tsukune wondered.

"Why can't we just teleport to the top?" He asked. Now that he had Kurai's powers, he wanted to learn how to teleport badly." If you were on a school trip, wouldn't you want to take a minute and just observe it all?" Kurai asked in response

"Aside from the blistering cold it's pretty peaceful." He stopped as Kurai handed him his leather bound book. "If you want to learn how to use my powers, read this and it'll help. Once we get up to the top, we're going to do some quick training.

Tsukune took the book and placed it in his jacket pocket. He suddenly remembered the light coming off of Kurumu's being. If anyone would know what that was about, Kurai was probably the guy.

Tsukune realized he was lagging behind and caught up with him. "If I told you something, would you keep it a secret?"

Kurai shrugged his shoulders. "Probably not."

Tsukune sighed and went for it anyway. "Is it possible to look at someone's soul?"

"Of 's a common trait our kind can perform. But you're kind of a half and half, so it might not be as powerful." He answered.

"The thing is, I saw Kurumu's soul last night." Tsukune told him. He remembered all her feelings and emotions wrapped up in purple light.

Kurai thought about it. "Was this like your first?"

Tsukune nodded.

"That is kind of odd. Normally it's a tricky thing to comprehend. When you're just starting out, clothing usually keeps rookie demons from even catching a glimpse of one's soul. After a lot of training, one can perform it without even thinking. But if you did see it clearly, either you're developing my abilities faster, or you would've had to see her naked."

Tsukune chuckled and turned his gaze away from him. 'Oh jeez, that might explain why I saw it after having sex with her.'

"You had sex with her last night!?" Tsukune looked and saw Kurai's face full of shock.

Tsukune face palmed. "I forgot we could read each other's thoughts."

Kurai looked away. "You actually had sex with Kurumu? Holy Shit!"

"You sound really surprise." Tsukune said.

"Because do you know how much money I owe Ginei? God Dammit." Kurai gritted his teeth. "I was sure you would have sex with Mo- Oh my god, you didn't?" Kurai looked at Tsukune after hearing his thoughts again.

"You had sex with her at my mother's house. Do you know how unbelievably rude that is?" Kurai glared at Tsukune. "Good news about that is now Gin owes me a hell of a lot of money."

"I didn't plan on having sex with Kurumu. It just happened." Tsukune defended.

"Right after she charmed you and tried to rape your body while you subconsciously watched." Tsukune was about to ask how he knew that, and remembered seeing Kurai tap his head.

Kurai chuckled. "It's better you had sex with her rather than rejected her."

"What do you mean?" Tsukune asked.

"You're kidding? You don't know?" Tsukune shrugged his shoulders.

Kurai sighed. "Well you know how Succubi live on love and seduce men until they find their "Destined One" or "Mate of Fate"?"

"I remember that." Tsukune said.

"Well it's been said that if the guy they claimed as their true love rejected them, or didn't return their feelings, the Succubus dies." He snapped his fingers. "Just like that."

Tsukune had a look of grave horror. "You're serious?"

Kurai nodded. "I had to do a report on Succubi for a class, and Kurumu told me all this. She said that it would be like a sudden heart attack as all her power would be drained. That's actually where the term 'Heartbreak' originated from."

Tsukune remembered what Kurumu had said to him during the night:

Plus, if you rejected me, my heart wouldn't have been able to take it.

Don't say it, please don't!

You don't understand. You just don't.

I don't care if we have sex, or even get married. I just want you to love me. That's all I ask.

"I was going to tell her that I couldn't love her like I loved Moka." He told him.

"You should actually be lucky she charmed you. That would've gone horribly wrong." Kurai told him.

"You don't even know the half of it." Tsukune thought as guilt riddled his mind. He would've been responsible for what would happen to Kurumu. He then thought something. "Then why didn't she tell me about that?"

"She wants you to love her, and probably didn't want to pressure you for your love."

"Is that why the Succubi race is dying out?"

Kurai racked his brain. "I'm not so sure about that myself. Kurumu did tell me that sometimes; the guy they fell in love with would usually cheat on them, or leave them, causing them to die."

"If that's true, then why do Succubus even have Destined Ones?"

"The only other thing I know is that Succubi are powered by love. She's a tough girl as it is, but if you loved her. Imagine how powerful she'd be."

Tsukune gripped his head. "But I still care about Moka."

"That reminds me, how're you going to tell her you cheated on her?" Kurai smirked

"She's not going to be too thrilled about it." Tsukune sighed.

"No, the other Moka?" Kurai grinned.

Tsukune's face grew pale at the thought of Moka's revenge. "Oh man, I'm screwed."

Kurai laughed. "Yeah, that's what-"

"If you say that's what she said, I'm going to kill you." Tsukune gritted.

Kurai chuckled awkwardly and looked straight ahead to see where they were. In front of them laid a clearing where there was no other place to go up. They went to the edge and saw a small village on the other side of the mountain. And right in front of them was a ravine with a rapid flowing river at the bottom.

"We made it to the top already?" Kurai asked as he dropped the gear.

Tsukune looked around with a pondering look on his face. Kurai turned to him.

"What is it?"

"I smell something weird." He followed his vampire nose and it led him to small patch of white flowers.

"You smell that too, right?" He asked Kurai.

"Yeah." Kurai picked up the flower and sniffed it. "It smells sweet and bitter." A dizzy feeling lurched in his head and he shrugged it off. "I think this is what Mizore's mom wanted."

"Well let's just get some and get out of here." Tsukune shrugged.

Kurai dropped the flower. "Not just yet." Tsukune stared at him for a quick second.

"There's still one thing we need to take care of." Kurai cracked his knuckles and shape shifted into his Hellhound form. He suddenly released a low snarl and lunged at Tsukune.

Moka stood up from the hot springs and wrapped the kimono around her. "I hope those two are doing alright."

Yukari nodded in agreement "Yeah, without them it's kind of quiet and peaceful." Yukari shuddered. "Too peaceful. Where's Gin?"

"And while we're on that subject, where's Mizore?" Kurumu asked.

Tsurara walked out of the house. "Neither one of them are in the house. And one of the snow vehicles is missing."

Kurumu gritted her teeth. "That sneaky ice stalker went to catch up with Tsukune."

Levy climbed on Kiria's shoulders. "But Kurai's with him."

By the look on Tsurara's face, she obviously remembered something. "Oh dear, there's something else I forgot to tell them."

Everyone turned to her. "What is it?" Ruby asked.

"I forgot to tell them to watch out for the Snow Whites that are located in the mountains." She responded.

"Snow Whites?" Kiria asked.

"Nya nya nya?" Levy asked.

Even without understanding a word she said. Tsurara knew what she was trying to say. "They're a special flower that grows around this time of year for the annual Flower Offering Ceremony."

"What's so special about a damn flower?" Kurumu asked as she zipped up her jacket.

Yukari took over. "I've heard of it. I sometimes made magic potions out of it. The pollen it gives off has a hallucinogenic property that allures the opposite sex. It's probably about as powerful as a Succubus using their love charm."

"Mizore is probably out there trying to seduce Tsukune with the flower." Moka deducted.

Tsurara chuckled. "Most likely. How else is she going to have his or that other boy's baby?"

Kiria's face went red as a tomato. "Kurai would never do that!" She blurted much to her embarrassment.

Ruby calmed Kiria down. "Would it have any effect on those of the same gender?"

"What do you mean?" Moka asked.

Tsurara pondered. "I'm not really sure how to answer that."

Moka shook Ruby's shoulders. "What are you getting at?"

"What if Mizore's not with the two, and they found the flower? If it affects those two the same as it normally works, then we might have a yaoi manga at work as we speak."

Kokoa's nose erupted in a nosebleed. Yukari covered her eyes with her hat. And Kurumu, Kiria, and Moka passed out with deep blushes.

In under a second they came back with their winter clothes on. "Let's go stop some boy on boy!" They cheered as they started up the mountain.

As they ran, Ruby and Yukari noticed tracks leading up to the left, and foot prints going up to the right.

Ruby thought of a tactic. "Yukari and I will follow the tracks on the left. They'll most likely lead to Ginei. The rest of you go find Tsukune and Kurai, and stop them from doing something that'll scar them for the rest of their lives. Kiria, Kurumu, and I will take the air to have a better chance of finding them."

"Right." They all agreed.

As Tsurara watched them run off, "And don't forget to watch out for the Blizzerns!" She yelled out. "It's hatchling season and you don't want to be in the middle of that." Her words fell on deaf ears.

The sounds of an engine rumbled across the mountain.

"The rest of them think this is some kind of vacation. But I know I have to stop that psychotic angel and her plan to kill off this world." Gin's eyes dazed off in space. "And maybe as a reward, Moka and the other girls will shower me with their affections."

"Oh Gin. You saved the world, you're our hero." Moka complimented

"I love you, you big wolfy hunk." Kurumu would tell him

"Can I call you big brother?" Yukari asked

"Nya nya nya nya." Levy would look away in shyness

"How about I wash your back?" Kiria asked him in a towel

"Or cool you off?" Mizore suggested

"You can do what you want with me." Ruby begged.

"Maybe you're not a complete pervert after all." Kokoa blushed

Tsukune and Kurai were on their knees and bowed their heads. "We don't deserve to even walk the same earth as the all mighty Gin sensei." The two said in sync.

Gin was too lost in his own perverted thoughts to realize that he was face first in the snow, and that his vehicle was totaled. He finally realized what had happened and stood up. "Looks like I screwed the pooch on that one." He stood up and wiped the snow from his jacket. "I guess I'm walking."

Because of his wolf like ears, he heard the sound of feet crunching ahead of him. He could also smell a scent that was unfamiliar to him. "If you're trying to sneak up on me. You can forget it." He turned towards the direction of the smell and saw a beautiful young girl with short white hair, a white dress, and a blue rose on her head. But what really got Gin's attention was her angel like wings, and well-developed body.

The girl approached Ginei and bowed. "Hello, I am the Guardian Angel of Memories. The Catharsis Angel Koyomi Konime"

'An Angel?' Gin gritted his teeth remembering his first agenda. "So you're one of them?" He asked.

Koyomi approached face to face with Gin and stroked his cheek. Gin found this odd as she stepped back before he could do anything else.

Koyomi chuckled. "Ginei Morioka. Moster type: Werewolf. President and Chief Editor of the Yokai Academy Newspaper Club, and resident pervert."

Gin held his cheek. "You could tell all that just by touching my cheek?"

"It's so sad isn't it?" She suddenly asked

Gin got back to his point. "Listen, I'm not one for hitting girls. So why don't you be a good one, and convince your mother not to set off Divine's Grace?"

"I'm afraid I can't do that. Even if I did try to convince her, it's not like she would listen."

Gin cracked his knuckles. "Than if fighting you means getting to your mother." Gin turned into a werewolf and got in a fighting stance. "Then bring it on."

Koyomi merely stared at his wolfish eyes as if she was examining him from the inside. Unknown to Gin, a light blush painted her cheeks and she walked away. "Well in that case, I forfeit, goodbye now."

Gin's face vaulted. "Are you serious right now?"

Koyomi clutched her beating heart as she turned away from him. 'Why is my heart going off like this? I don't understand.'

She realized Gin was following her as yelled out. "Take me to your mother, now!"

Koyomi's heart started thumping faster. "Aside from this, I remember he's the enemie. I don't have another choice."

She turned to Gin and suddenly vanished just as he was about to catch up with her. "Damn it, she disappeared."

"Wrong." A voice said from behind.

Gin turned around to see her standing a few yards behind him. "I merely remembered standing in this exact spot."

Gin snarled ad ran at her at fast speed. "I really don't want to hurt you." He jumped in the air and performed a spinning kick going for her head. "Keep playing around, and I'll take that back." Right before he could get close to her, she vanished again.

"That's getting annoying." He growled

He turned around and saw her standing behind him again. To his surprise, she started taking off her coat. "What are you doing?" Gin asked.

She tossed her coat aside and undid the buttons on her dress and tossed it aside. Gin stared in awe as she hugged herself from the cold completely naked. "Does my body look good?" She asked him with an incredible blush.

Ginei started panting at the sight of her curved figure. He ceased as he realized she wasn't a snow woman as she was shivering in the snow. Gin returned into his human form and picked up her scattered clothing. He resisted to urge to grope her as he handed it to her. "You need to cover up, it's not smart to do that in these conditions."

Koyomi blushed and stared up the smiling boy. "I've never met a boy who was..." Gin's eyes widened. "Such a fool."

Gin was blasted and fell on Koyomi, who disappeared. As he forced himself up. "You got me with that sneak attack. Cheap move." He turned to the real fully clothed Koyomi.

"Bashful, resists the urge to touch when a maiden is distressed." Koyomi gave him a sad smile. "It was sad when you lost them, wasn't it?"

"What the hell are you babbling on about?" Gin's eyes widened as standing in front of him was a young girl with chocolate brown hair with ponytails, and brown eyes to match. She wore the Yokai Academy uniform despite the cold.

Gin knew this girl. "Kuki?" He approached the girl and hugged her. "How are you here?"

"I'm sorry Gin!" She stuttered as she was suddenly set ablazed. She didn't waste time screaming as she was suddenly reduced to ash. Gin saw in horror as his own friend died again. "This is a trick."

"It's not Gin." Gin turned and saw a boy glaring at him with short blond hair glaring at him.

"Kasao! You died. I saw it!" Gin yelled as his memories of that horrible day forged back into his head.

"You couldn't leave them alone, could you?" He scolded as his body too slowly turned to ash. "It's your fault we were wrongly killed." He disappeared in a puff of ash.

"Kasao wait!" Gin slumped on the ground not wanting to see anymore. He looked up again and saw several of his old deceased Newspaper club members standing in front of them as if they never died to begin with. As they all disappeared in fire. They scolded:

"How could you do this to us Gin?" A blue haired girl asked

"You couldn't have kept your nose to yourself." A brunette boy said.

"How do you sleep at night?" A blond girl asked

They all pointed their fingers at him. "It's all your fault." The flames took them again and they burned into ashes.

Gin was on his knees as he was reduced to tears from seeing all his friends since their deaths, only to see them burn at the hands of, "Kuyou!"

The ex-PSC officer stood proudly as his hands were producing fire. "A tearful reunion only to end in a fiery death."

"SHUT UP!" Gin sent a fist through his head, only for Kuyou to disappear, and than four more Kuyous appeared before him.

'This is a trick, it's not real.' He was suddenly engulfed in flames and yelled at how excruciating being burned alive was. It almost seemed too real.

"At least you can be with them six feet under." All four Kuyous said at once.

Meanwhile, Ganseki and Roru approached Lunar and watched as Gin was rolling around on the snowy ground yelling as if he was fighting invisible ghosts.

Ganseki burst into an hysteric laughter. "Oh man, this is beyond pathetic!" He turned towards Koyomi. "Turn off the illusions, I got it from here." He got his guitar ready.

"Careful." Koyomi said. "During his freshman year, he was known as Mad Dog Morioka, the most ruthless fighter in Yokai Academy history."

Roru gazed at the struggling werewolf, and started tuning his base. "Koyomi, I think he's had enough. You can cut it out for now. Head back to the palace."

Koyomi snapped her fingers and Gin slumped back and panted. "You bitch, you're going to pa-"

Gin's ears were in agony as he was blasted off his back and rolled in the snow. Ganseki and Koyomi turned to Roru as he started playing his bass. "Nobody calls my sister a bitch. Let's go brother."

Ganseki grinned and the two approached him as he stood up and faced the twins. "More Angels, huh?"

Roru and Ganseki nodded no as white dove wings popped from their backs. They kicked off their snow boots to reveal what looked like eagle's feet with four wickedly sharp talons on each.

The two stood back to back. Ganseki grinned and held up his trademark rocker finger. "We're the Guardian Angels of Music Ganseki and Roru." Ganseki introduced.

The two lunged in the air with their instruments ready. Ganseki flipped upside down in the air and the two played their instruments sending a sonic blast towards Gin.

"We're the twin Sirens whose voices shine even the darkest of nights." Roru finished.

Gin covered his ears as the sound wave pushed him back, causing him to skid in the snow.

"Sirens?" Gin said to himself. "Just like her."

Quick Monster Fact:

A Siren is a mythical half-man half-bird creature from ancient Greece that lived by the sea. Originally referred to as a god whose singing voice had the power to disrupt the minds of those that listen to it. In fact this creature is the root word of the English word Siren. They have no control over the power of their own voices; even the tiniest whisper from them is capable of shattering glass. And their sharp talons are capable of cutting clean through lead.

Ganseki dove towards Gin with his claws stuck out. Gin jumped dodged and kicked off of Ganseki's face like a springboard. Ganseki landed on the ground and immediately got back up with his guitar ready. "You're going to regret that you filthy mutt." He struck his guitar sending a sound wave towards Gin, who jumped and struck Ganseki with a splitting axe kick to the top of his head. Gin's moment was short lived as he was blasted out of the air by Roru's sound waves.

Gin noticed that unlike Ganseki's attack, which hits his entire body, Roru's attack hit him right in the face and made him fall head first into the snow.

Roru and Ganseki flapped their wings with their guitars ready. "Our instruments act as both our limiters and amplifiers at the same time. Which is why we're never without them." Roru started. "My attacks are like the bass, precise and accurate."

"And my attacks are like the electric guitar, wild, and all over the place." He grinned and stuck his tongue out. Gin saw with his enhanced vision a circular mark on his tongue.

Gin gave them a wolfish smirk. "Werewolves have hearing that is extremely powerful. Even without them." He suddenly disappeared and reappeared behind the two. He clutched both of their heads and smashed them against one another. "We're still a force not to be taken lightly." He flipped them in the air and planted a foot on each of their backs. He kicked off them and the two fell head first. Just before they face planted the ground, they extended their wings out and glided across the sky. They flew at an incredible speed towards Gin and each slashed his face with their talons. Gin gritted his teeth as his blood stained the white snow. The twins landed on the ground. Roru flew straight at him and stuck his talon out.

"Falcon's Heaven Sword!" He yelled as he prepared to mince Gin, who stood his ground.

Gin grabbed his stuck out claw, and was given another slash on his chest by Roru's other foot. Gin gripped both feet and noticed Ganseki about to dive bomb him. He used Roru as a human baseball bat and struck Ganseki. He released Roru's foot and the two flew meters in the air. The two gained their composure and flew straight at him. He jumped high in the air dodging them.

Gin gave them a wolfish smirk. "Nice try." His eyes widened. "What?" The two suddenly appeared on both sides of him and sent a sonic blast in his direction. The two side blasts made it as if he was being compressed by a car crusher as his ear drums were bleeding. His yelling wasn't as loud as their sonic blasts.

As the two continued their assault. "Get away from him this instant!"

The twin Sirens were suddenly bashed on the head by an unknown heavy object that appeared out of thin air. The two ceased their playing and clutched their heads in agony as Gin plummeted, only for a pair of hands to grab him and set him down on the ground. He slowly opened his eyes to see Ruby looking down on him. Her lips started moving and no sounds came out. The only thing he could hear was a sharp ringing in his ears.

He placed a hand on his ear as her lips kept moving. "WHAT!" He yelled.

Ruby was thrown off by his sudden yelling and looked back at him. "I said are you okay?!" She yelled. Gin motioned to his ears and shrugged his shoulders.

Yukari kneeled next to him. "Those sound waves made him go deaf."

"I CAN'T HEAR A GOD DAMN THING!" Gin yelled as he did not hear a word they were saying. He saw the two flying brothers and decided to warn them, in this case yelled at them. "THOSE TWO ARE WITH THE ANGEL. THE'YRE SIRENS AND ARE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. BE CAREFUL!"

Ruby used her wand and wrote something on the snow for Gin to read.

WE'LL TAKE IT OVER FROM HERE. GET SOME REST.

Gin nodded and sat back trying to soothe his eardrums. 'Those two are more powerful than I thought.' A tear rolled down his cheek. 'They remind me of her.'

Ruby and Yukari faced the two with their wands out. "Two against one isn't what you would call a fair fight." Ruby scolded as she pointed her wand.

"Brother Sirens against sister Witches." Yukari's wand began to glow. "Let's see who's more powerful."

"Ganseki, you take the little one, and I'll go for the older one." Roru commanded. He spread out his wings and flew towards Ruby who brought out her own wings and flew through the air. The two engaged in an aerial battle. Roru attempted to slash Ruby with his claws, only for her to dodge. They stood a few yards away and smirked at each other.

"I'm not one to fight with a woman as beautiful as you." Roru took off his bass and allowed it to drop on the ground. "But in this case, I'll make an exception."

Ruby fished a small pouch from her jacket. "You're not too bad looking yourself. Maybe when this is over, we can grab a bite to eat."

Ganseki and Yukari sweat dropped. "I think they mistook the words fighting for flirting." Yukari said.

Yukari faced Ganseki. "I already have my sights on two people. So you won't be able to seduce me as easily."

Ganseki cringed. "Don't flatter yourself. When you're a little older, and more..." He pointed to his chest. "Developed, then we can talk."

Yukari fumed and pointed her wand. "You dirty pervert!" A golden washtub shot out of her wand like a rocket and sped towards Ganseki's head. He strummed his guitar and the sound wave shot the washtub back at Yukari. She swiped her wand causing it to disappear.

'This is going to be more difficult than I thought it would be.' Yukari thought.

"Kurai, take it easy." Tsukune yelled

"I'll stop when I say we stop." Kurai responded

"But dude that's starting to hurt." Tsukune whined

"Hold still and then we can finish with this." Kurai ordered

Kurai jumped out of the way as Tsukune sent a flying kick. Kurai ran at him and slided on his knees as Tsukune sent a roundhouse kick. Kurai placed his hands on the left side of Tsukune's chest, and an unseen force blasted Tsukune off his feet and sliding a few feet back.

Kurai helped Tsukune up and placed the palm of his hand where Tsukune's heart was. "It's important you aim for the heart, or else a Soul Strike won't work." Tsukune stepped back and sprinted towards Kurai, who sidestepped and sent a fist going for Tsukune's rib. Tsukune suddenly grabbed his wrist and judo flipped him on the ground. Kurai landed on his back and didn't have time to react as Tsukune placed the palm of his hand on Kurai's chest and blasted him, causing a crater to form, and Kurai to go down in it.

Tsukune jumped into the crater and helped Kurai up as he did a dry cough. "Talk about a head rush." He patted Tsukune on the back. "That was well executed."

"Now you think we can perform one of those Seven Incantations?" Tsukune asked.

"Seven Sinful Incantations." Kurai corrected and then waved him off. "And out of the question. Last time, I wouldn't have survived myself. You can learn them, but you can't perform one unless it's in a life or death situation."

"You've performed one. At least tell me what it's like."

Kurai sighed in response. "You do remember I was bat shit crazy at the time. You can perform more than one. But remember this:"

He placed up one finger. "It's important you concentrate all your power at what you're trying to accomplish. Get distracted for a nanosecond, and you're as good as dead."

"I have another question." Tsukune said. "Why do Demon's eat souls?"

Kurai looked over the scenery the peak of the mountain was giving off "Like how vampires need to drink blood. It's our sustenance that keeps our race from dying out. We feed on the souls that have been tainted by life and was condemned to hell. Not only that, but it gives us power."

Kurai turned to Tsukune and made a purple flame. "Do you know why I'm a master of pyrokinesis without turning into a hellhound? Because after eating the soul of the flame demon Kuyou, I gained his power of mastery over fire."

That was the last name Tsukune ever wanted to hear. "So we possess his power?"

Kurai nodded. "When we eat souls. We gain not only their powers and abilities, but one's memories as well. But it proved to be a burden seeing the memories of those you've eaten, whether good, bad, or ugly. Imagine living every day knowing that the person you've killed, you can see everything they've ever seen. It fills our minds with guilt, until we can't bear it anymore. So we've developed a skill that allows us to lock away those memories, unless the demon in question chooses to see them."

"What is it like eating a soul?" Tsukune always wanted to ask that, and now that he was one of them, he might have to eat one.

"Imagine eating an entire apple in one gulp without having to chew. It doesn't choke you, and it goes down easier. But the taste depends on the person whose soul you've taken."

"What did Kuyou's taste like?" Tsukune wondered.

"Like eating hot chili oil." Kurai responded.

Tsukune gulped at this next one. "What about your mother's?"

Kurai was surprised at this, and thought back to when he ate her soul along with those two deacons. It still hurt thinking about it, but he could never forget the taste. "She worked at a bakery before I was taken. Her soul tasted like the homemade chocolate chip cookie dough she used to let me eat when I was little." He painfully admitted.

Tsukune found this soft side of Kurai surprising. He momentarily looked into the red light that was Kurai's soul and felt regret, and mild sadness.

"Have you ever thought of bringing her back? Like you did with Ruby?" Tsukune asked.

"Don't think I haven't thought about it. But it's been twelve years since I've eaten her soul. Like all food, it's gotta digest. I was only able to regurgitate Ruby's was because her's was still fresh." Kurai didn't feel like talking about this any longer, until Tsukune told him something.

"If she could see you, she wouldn't blame you." Kurai turned and noticed his serious look. "Everyone makes mistakes, and we do things we regret. It's human nature, and I know that for a fact." Kurai was utterly speechless as he continued. "Everyone dies, it's just how life is. How can she smile down at you, if you keep looking back at what you had no control over? Just admit your mistakes and move on. It's hard, but it's not impossible." Kurai noticed a look of determination eminating from Tsukune's green colored soul. "Cast away your depression, your self loathing, and your anger. Not for your sake, but for Kami. You owe that to her."

Tsukune gave him a serious look, while Kurai gave him a look of beyond shock. To him, this couldn't have been the Tsukune he's known since last year. Kurai found his words inspiring, and swore to try his best. "I really needed that." Kurai said.

He looked and saw the sun was beginning to go down. "How long do you think we've been out here?"

Tsukune checked out his watch. "Holy crap, it's been almost three hours." Kurai snapped his fingers and several of the nearby flowers floated in the air. "Let's just get these back, before the others get worried."

Tsukune looked in the bag and saw he grabbed one too many. "Dude, this is more than enough."

"Yeah, I want to give one to Kiria. Ever since that whole business with Ayami, she's been pretty upset. I figured she would love white flowers. You should give some to the girls as well."

Tsukune grabbed his skis. "Let's just go."

Kurai prepared his snowboard. "Ready when you a-"

RRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!

There was a mild tremor that shook the two on their butts, as a winged beast landed flew up from the ravine and landed near the two.

They were looking into the eyes of a elephant sized, monstorous, and scaly white lizard that thrashed its spiked tail at the two. More spikes ran long its hunched back. It possessed rows of countless dagger like teeth, and a snake like tongue. Its tattered wings were stitched to its arms similar to that of a bat.

Tsukune gulped. "Any chance that it's friendly?"

It turned its beady yellow eyes at the two and roared in their direction. Not only did it have enough power to send them flying, but the smell was worse than any sewage plant imaginable.

Kurai covered his nose as he stood up. "I'm going to take that as a no."

"Oh rival, how naive you can be." A voice said from behind.

Tsukune looked around and Kurai's face practically paled recognizing the voice. "Not this guy." He quivered.

Nagi Konime stepped out from behind the dragon and approached the two with his angel wings on his back. He still wore the same swallowtail coat from when they first met. He unsheathed and held his rapier out.

"Kurai, whose this? Tsukune asked.

Nagi turned to Tsukune. "Who am I, you ask?"

Kurai turned to Tsukune. "Man I really hate this guy."

"I am the Guardian Angel of Weaponry and Warfare. The Archangel Nagi Konime the first." Nagi flamboyantly introduced himself.

"He's also an annoying freak of nature." Kurai gritted.

Nagi twirled around like a ballerina and pointed his rapier at the two. He held his forehead like he was in a theatre production. "Oh dear rival, how your words are as cold as the snow that serves as our battlefield."

Tsukune's sweat dropped. "I see what you mean."

"Nagi, take that oversized lizard, and get the hell out of here, because I really want to hurt you right now."

Nagi grinned. "The only person that will get hurt is you." He said pointing his rapier to Kurai.

"This guy looks like he's itching for a fight." Tsukune gestured to his Holy Lock. "I can knock him out for you if yo-"

"No." Kurai interrupted. He turned his back to Tsukune, the latter saw as his hair turned from blonde to black. "You handle lizard breath."

Kurai turned to Tsukune, and showed off a deranged smile. "I'm gonna be the one to smash his teeth in." He exclaimed as his shark teeth stood out. He turned towards Nagi as Tsukune faced the dragon.

Nagi's wings extended. "So this is what your true form looks like?" Nagi's clicked his teeth. "Disgusting."

Balls of tainted flames danced around Kurai's fingers. "I'm going to savor every moment of this."

'I'm not picking up any traces of his insanity in his soul.' Tsukune thought as he looked from the ferocious draconian beast, and to the raven haired demon. "Kurai! You think you can keep it in control?!"

Kurai smirked "Without that little bug in my system. I have total control."

Nagi glimpsed at Tsukune's face off with the white scaled beast. "Your friend is an idiot if he thinks he can handle a Blizzern and live."

Quick Monster Fact:

A Blizzern is a draconian beast that prefer to live in cold climates. They are actually peaceful creatures and will only attack to protect their food, territory, and children from predators and hunters. Despite their ferocious looks, the adult Blizzerns are actually herbivores. They only eat meat to regurgitate and feed to the hatchlings, who are carnivores until they reach adulthood. They mainly use their spiked tails as their mode of offense.

The Blizzern thrashed its tail and whacked towards Tsukune, who jumped before he was flattened. Tsukune opened his mouth and sent a torrent of flames towards the Blizzern, who blocked with its wing, and sent it's tail flying sideway, hitting Tsukune square in the chest and causing him to skid back. Tsukune grabbed the tail before it could get away from him and smirked as he mustered up all his strength, and slammed the Blizzern on the ground by throwing it by the tail.

Kurai ran at Nagi with full speed and sent a flaming fist towards his head. Nagi dodged and took flight in the air.

"Hold still you little cockroach!" Kurai levitated off the ground and went after him. Kurai unzipped his jacket and several dark birds flew out in a swarm. The flock of murderous birds flew towards Nagi, who merely smirked and slashed the air with his rapier. Suddenly, all of Kurai's birds were sliced clean in half and disappeared in shadows.

Kurai's eyes widened in surprise. "Impossible."

Nagi laughed and raised his sword. "There's a reason I'm called the Archangel." Nagi flew back. "My weapons are that of the purest caliber." The rapier began to glow until it was completely covered in a bright blinding light. Kurai shielded his eyes from the glare. "My prized rapier was bathed in pure light sent from the heavens." He licked the side of the blade up. "Truly a holy sword fit to cleanse the utter filth."

"SHUT THE HELL UP!" Kurai unleashed a wave of tainted fire that was blocked as Nagi covered his body with his wings. "My turn." He sing songed

He unfolded his wings. "Feather Kunai Storm!" Several feathers flew off of his wings and rocketed towards Kurai like bullets. Before Kurai could even do anything, he was suddenly tackled in midair by an unknown flying object, causing him to miss the feathers and fall to the ground.

Thinking he was facing another enemy. His hand was enveloped in a dark aura. He turned only to look into deep blue eyes as his girlfriend kneeled on top of him. "You owe me big time."

Kurai smirked and looked behind her as more feathers rocketed towards them. He and Kiria suddenly merged in the ground as all of Nagi's feathers hit the ground. The both of them reappeared on the surface. "Now we're even."

"Nii-Chan!" Levy ran up and hugged his waist. Kurai happily hugged her back. "Good to see you too Levy."

Tsukune meanwhile, was using all of his strength keeping the Blizzern's gaping maw open as he tried to chomp down on him.

"Tsukune!" Tsukune turned towards the sound and saw Moka running towards him.

"Moka." His momentary distraction costed him dearly as the Blizzern quickly thrashed Tsukune on the side with its tail. Sending him flying and crashing into a tree.

Moka ran to his aid and helped him up. Tsukune clutched his side as one of its spikes was loged in his ribs. Moka paled in fear as the Blizzern approached the two.

"Leave him alone, you walking handbag!" A blue flying blur caught the Blizzern in the stomach, and was sent backwards and falling down the ravine as Kokoa smacked him with her bat hammer.

"Kurumu, Kokoa, thank you." Tsukune said as Kurumu suddenly hugged him. "I was so worried about you! Did he hurt you at all?"

Tsukune chuckled. "I'm fine, that Blizzern put up a hell of a fight."

"Not the Dragon." Kurumu suddenly bumrushed Kurai and tackled him to the ground, getting ready to slice him with her nails. "I swear if you touched my Tsukune, I'm going to slice you to ribbons."

"What the hell are you talking about?" Kurai turned behind her. "Look out!" They suddenly disappeared as several variety of swords struck the ground where they just were.

They reappeared a few feet to the right and Kurai faced Nagi. "That was too close." He held out his hand. "Whatever you're babbling on about, we'll talk about it later. Right now Levy, Kukri mode."

"Hai." Levy disappeared within a green light and transformed into a single-edged sword about three feet in length, with the blade curving forward and widening near the tip.

Nagi wolf whistled. "An Ancient Egyptian Kopis . The special weapon of Alexander the Great." Nagi pulled out his rapier. "You have a shapeshifting weapon. This should get interesting."

Kiria approached Nagi. "Nagi, why are you doing this? How could you affiliate with what mother is doing?"

Nagi scowled. "You're treating me like I'm the bad guy, when you're the one who sold your soul to the Devil."

Those words reduced Kiria to tears at how her own brother could say something like that. Kurai stepped in front of her and gave Nagi a dark look. "You're going to regret saying that."

He turned to Kokoa. "Although I hate to admit it, you're good with that little bat."

"Are you asking for my help?" Kokoa turned away. "Forget it. I still haven't gotten my payback for what you did to me."

Nagi interrupted them with hysteric laughter. "Oh rival, this is a new low even for you. Asking a mere girl for help. The only weapon they know how to use is a kitchen knife."

The look of shock and offendity etched itself on each of the girls present. Kokoa on the other hand, was visibly ticked off. "You chauvinistic bastard" She ran towards him with her bat in hammer form. "Anyone who talks to me like that gets a taste of my Kou hammer!" Nagi took flight as she slammed her hammer on the ground. "A girl using a weapon. It must be the day of reckoning." He scoffed.

Moka turned to Kurai. She rememberd he once told her what Nagi was like. "Now I understand why you hate him."

Kurai readied Levy. "But I'm not gonna let her have all the fun." Kurai levitated and joined Kokoa and Nagi in a mexican stand-off.

Kurumu turned to Kokoa and Kurai as they was engaged in a midair fight. "I think they got this, right now let just ge-"

RRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

The Blizzern flew back up from the bottom of the cliff, and it looked angry, being thrown into the bottom of a ravine. It thrashed it's tail towards Moka, before she was hit, Tsukune shielded her and was sent flying and landed in the ground on top of her. Tsukune gritted as he pulled out another spike from his back. "Ow." He felt something cold in his other hand and realized he was holding Moka's rosary. He looked down to see Inner Moka baring her fangs at him. "Why are you on top of me?"

Before Tsukune could answer he suddenly grabbed her and threw her to the other side of him, just in time as the Blizzern's tail crashed where she just was.

He approached Moka. "Are you okay?" She suddenly sent a roundhouse kick towards his ribs. He caught her foot with his hand, momentarily shocking her. "Beat me up later, right now we have bigger issues." He dropped her foot and turned towards the Blizzern. He was unaware that Moka was visibly blushing from behind him.

"Moka I want you to stay back, and let me handle it." He offered. But Moka smirked and stepped in front of him. "Oh no, I haven't had my fun in far too long. I'll take care of it." Moka ran up to the Blizzern and jumped as he slammed his head in her direction. As she jumped, Kurumu and Kiria grabbed her and flew her out of the way as the Blizzern swung its tail.

"I don't need your help." She scowled at them.

Kurumu smirked. "If it wasn't for us, you would've been dragon food."

"This is not a good time for your pride." Kiria said

They both dropped Moka, and flew towards the Blizzern who attempted to grab the both of them with its teeth. Kurumu flew behind it and attempted to stab it in the back with her nails, but was whacked in the tail and landed in the snow.

"Kurumu!" Kiria and Tsukune yelled. The Blizzern took advantage of Kiria's distraction and thrashed her with its tail.

Kurai saw as his girlfriend was visibly hurt. "Kiria!" He turned his attention back to Nagi as he attempted to slash him. Kokoa sidejabbed him with her spiked bat.

Moka turned to the dragon, who roared in her face. Moka merely smirked and ran towards him. "Anyone who bares they're fangs at me." She straight line kicked it on the top of its head, then flipped and gave an uppercut kick to its chin. "SHOULD KNOW THEIR PLACE!"

The Blizzern was sent flying and extended its wings getting ready to fly back towards them.

Tsukune stood in front of Moka with a dark look to his face. A dark aura covered his hands as he stacked one fist on the other. "Ever since I came to Yokai Academy, I've always been the one protected. Now it's my turn to protect the one's I care about."

Nagi, Kurai, and Kokoa ceased their fighting and saw as black wind swirled around Tsukune's body.

Kurai's eyes widened in both fear and surprise. "Of all of them, he chose that one!"

Tsukune's eyes glowed purple as the black wind was sucked into his joined fists. "As long as I'm alive, I'll never let anyone hurt my friends without paying for it."

Moka was surprised at his words. A light blush painted her cheeks. "He really has changed." She said to herself

'And for some reason, I think that's kind of hot.' Moka shook her head trying to break those thoughts out of her head.

Sinful Incantation #4: Death's Pillar

Just as the Blizzern was flying towards them, a sudden blast of black light shot straight up in the air, and went clean through its head. The Blizzern started falling and suddenly disappeared in a flash of shadows.

Tsukune released his hands and fell forward in the snow. "Tsukune!"

Moka, Kiria, and Kurumu ran up to him, and Moka gingerly placed his head on her lap. "Is he okay?"

Tsukune felt his stomach do a double take and groaned in pain. His eyes refused to open and his head was feeling extremely dizzy. He slumped back and passed out on Moka's lap.

"Levy, Halberd mode!" Kurai ran at Nagi with a long poled axe like weapon in his hand. He swung at Nagi, who blocked with his sword, and sent Kurai flying with a kick to his ribs.

Kokoa caught Kurai in midair and placed him behind her. "Shoot." Kokoa's bat turned into a spear and Kurai shot fire out of his mouth, sending him and Kokoa diving towards Nagi like a jet.

"Jugement Swords." Nagi took flight dodging their attack and several different broadswords materialized in midair encircling him. He pointed his fingers at the two and the swords rocketed towards them. Kurai lurched his head back and breathed an intense amount of fire with enough heat to melt the swords. Kokoa jumped off his shoulders like a springboard and smacked Nagi with her hammer, sending him flying and skidding in the snow at the edge of the ravine.

Kokoa landed next to Kurai and smirked. "For an egotistical Hell raiser, that was pretty impressive."

Kurai grinned as Levy took the form of a katana. "I could say the same to a narcissistic blood sucker like you."

Nagi stood up from the snow and saw as the two ran at him. 'These two fight in perfect sync and work as a team. I guess I have no other choice.' He thought as the two closed in on him.

Nagi gritted his teeth and stayed in the same position as his sword glowed brighter and brighter by the second. Kurai and Kokoa suddenly stopped in their tracks and fell to the ground, dropping their weapon partners.

"What the hell? I can't move." Kokoa strained as her body refused to listen.

Kurai vainly attempted to move his head, but the back of his head remained planted in the snow. "Nagi, what did you do to us?"

Nagi sheathed his rapier. "I merely severed the nerves that allowed your movements without cutting clothes or skin. You two proved yourselves to be admirable adversaries."

"How did he do that without moving?" Kokoa spat.

"That sneaky rat." Kurai added.

"My work here is done. But before I go." He flapped his wings and the two motionless bodies were blown to the edge of the ravine.

Kiria realized what he was about to do and tried to reason with him. "Nagi, this isn't who you are. Please don't do it." Kiria begged with tearful eyes. Her face was suddenly split open with several cuts and slashes painted across her facial features. Writhing, she held her face screaming in agony.

"Kiria!" Kurai yelled as Nagi sheathed his rapier and sent a gust of wind, which sent Kokoa and him falling down the cliff into the water.

"I got you two!" Kurumu flew with her wings ready to grab them. Right before Nagi could do anything, something had hit her square in the head and she was frozen in a block of ice.

"What's this?" He flapped with his wings and took off, right as he got to the other side of the ravine, he was blasted by something and fell down the mountain.

Moka momentarily placed Tsukune down. "Whoever you are! Show yoursel-" She was suddenly frozen in ice as well.

Tsukune regained consciousness, and focused his eyes. All he saw was Kiria passed out with blood oozing from her face, Moka and Kurumu frozen in ice, Levy and Kou lying in weapon form, and Kokoa and Kurai were no where in sight.

"Tsukune." A voice whispered.

Tsukune turned to the voice and saw Mizore approaching him in a light blue kimono with a white floral print. She had undone it a little bit showing off her cleavage. What unnervered him was the scoped rifle in her hands. Tsukune attempted to stand up, but that incantation drained him of all his strength. He found himself feeling extremely weak and tired.

Mizore dropped the rifle from her hands and approached Kiria who was lying on her back in the snow as her wounds were starting to stitch themselves back together.

She turned to him as Tsukune adressed her. "Mizore, they're all hurt and Kurai and Kokoa are gone. We got to get them to the house."

Mizore simply nodded no and pulled a concealed pistol from her kimono. She pointed it at the unconscious Kiria's head.

"Mizore, what are you doing?" Tsukune could do nothing but watch as Mizore pulled the trigger. Instead of killing her, whatever bullet she used froze her solid.

"She's not dead, this way no one can interrupt us." Mizore approached him and switched the magazine from her pistol to a different one. As she walked, she nonchalantly scooped up one of the white flowers.

She kneeled next to the immobile Tsukune and started stroking his hair, and kissing his cheek. "I'm sorry Tsukune, but I've been lenient for too long." She undid her kimono, and allowed Tsukune to gaze at her naked body. "It's time for us to have our baby, Tsukune."

Roru opened his mouth and a sonic wave blasted towards Ruby. She pulled out a small gold coin from it and snapped it in half, resulting in it turning into a small wooden staff with a mirror merged on the top. She swung the staff and the sonic wave went inside it. "What goes around comes around." She pointed her staff and the sound wave blasted back and hit Roru square in the chest. He crashed onto the snowy surface and flew back up facing Ruby. "You're stronger than I anticipated." He flew and attempted to slash kick her. "I find that strangely arousing."

Ruby threw out another coin, and a skull headed staff appeared in it's place. She planted the skull and mirror staff on the ground and placed her wand inbetween them. She took out a small book from her jacket. "Let's see you try to handle this." She read a page from it, and the gem on her staff glowed.

"Shadow Stream!" Several claws made of dark energy shot out of the staff heads and reached for Roru, who weaved around them with the grace of a dove. He shot straight up into the air and the hands followed him. He quickly flipped upiside down and dove down spinning as he sent a hyper sonic wave straight down. The blast caused the hands to disappear and the blast shot and shattered the two staffs causing them to break and revert back to gold coins.

"You're going to have to do a lot better than that." Roru winked.

Ruby smirked and snapped another gold coin. This one took the form of another staff with a large red and yellow eye for a head. She struck it on the ground.

"Heaven's Nightmare"

Roru felt the ground shake and before he knew it, the ground was destroyed.

Oddly enough, Roru was unable to fly. His wings refused to listen to him. He was somehow unaffected by gravity. He then noticed that he was going higher and higher until he reached space.

He looked around him to find Ruby, but instead find a giant rip in space. The rip opened, and out came a giant monster the likes of which he's never seen.

"What the hell is that?!" Roru yelled. Tentacles suddenly came out of the rip and entangled him, limiting his movement. Roru had never faced anything like this. 'What kind of magic is this?'He was in space, fighting a giant monster.

"What happened to the witch?" As the giant monster was about to come out of the rip in space,

Roru engulfed himself in his own soundwave. He thought that this would get rid of the tentacles, but instead, glass like shards broke around him, bringing him back to the battlefield with Ruby.

He took deep breaths, trying to figure out what the hell just happened. "I see, that was nothing more than an illusion. You almost got me there. But I've seen all those tricks through Koyomi. You'll find that I'm not one to underestimate!" Roru declared.

Ruby smirked, causing him to gain a surprised look. "Oh really? I suggest you pay more attention to your surrounding" Ruby advised. Roru looked confused, until he noticed a bright light coming from beneath his feet. He looked down and noticed a yellow magic seal keeping him from flying away.

"That my dear, was nothing more than a mere distraction." Ruby pointed her wand and the gem glowed.

"Dark Burst" The light around Roru disappeared and a blinding explosion took its place. Roru was sent flying into the air and fell in a thud on the snow. The force of the crash plus his fight with the witch left him bruised up, and sore all over. He attempted to stand up but kneeled back down in excruciating pain. "She's so much stronger than me." Roru coughed up blood and cluthed his stomach.

Ruby flew towards Roru and helped him up, shocking him to an extent. "I don't understand, why are you helping your own enemy?" He asked her.

Ruby sat him down on the snow and got on her knees. "Because I don't think of you as my enemy." She said with a light blush.

Roru held a blush of his own and tried to stand up. His legs became normal, and he sighed. "Why didn't you take off your other limiter?" Ruby asked him. She ruffled through his shirt and brought out a small necklace with a musical note pendant.

"How did you figure it out?" Roru chuckled at how she was able to figure it out.

"Your guitar lets out an initial part of your power. By the looks of it, they were lacking. Without this one, your full power won't come out." Ruby explained.

Roru sighed in response. "There's a reason I keep that on and never take off my bass. Have you ever heard of the Siren's Curse?"

Ruby nodded no.

"For centuries, our kind were able to lure sailors to their deaths just by using our voices. Those ones possessed the Siren's curse. If I had really wanted to kill you. All I would have to do is take off this necklace and just say the mere word."

"I didn't know such a power existed." Ruby commented.

"Reminds me, tell your friend Gin I'm sorry for what I did. I just didn't like it when he called my sister a bitch." Roru looked down.

Ruby waved him off. "It's fine. No one got severely hurt." She saw the immense sadness in his eyes and knew he was thinking about his curse. "So do all Sirens have this curse?"

Roru nodded no. "The few Sirens who possessed that curse were said to have died off. But some of them had offspring who had the curse passed down to them. My brother and I were the next generation to possess the curse." Roru turned away refusing to look at Ruby.

"So the curse was split between you two?" Ruby asked.

"Not exactly." Roru tearfully admitted. "When me and my brother were adopted by the Konimes, I discovered about the curse me and my brother shared, and with the help of father, used a taboo spell to pass the curse from Ganseki to myself."

"You'd do such a thing for your brother?" Ruby found this act of brotherly love touching.

"Again, not exactly." Roru finally gained his composure and stood up. "Ganseki is not the sharpest of us two. He would've used it irresponsibly, so I had it transfered to keep people from getting hurt. For months I remained mute, while Ganseki got to talk freely. A part of me was happy to see him blissfully ignorant even at the cost of my own suffering. Father realized my pain, and specially built my bass and necklace to seal my curse."

'Similar to Moka's Rosary.' Ruby thought. She now realized that he wasn't a bad person. There was still something that visibly bugged her. "Why do you work with the Angel if you don't like hurting innocent people?"

Roru gritted his teeth. "Because I don't have a say in the matter." Ruby looked up to him and saw he was trying to fight back tears. "I only recently found out about her cult. Me and the others. She forced us to become her 'Knights in pure armor.' The others don't know that she's merely using us as human shields that do her dirty work."

"Then why don't you tell them?" Ruby asked.

"Because only I know how powerful she is. She would slaughter us all siblings in an instant even if we worked together. Shimo and I are too scared of her to stand up to her. Lunar, Nagi, and Koyomi are too loyal to her. And Ganseki is a moron. If I tried to tell them, only God knows what she would do."

Ruby sported a blush and looked up at him and looked down. She knew in a way they were similar. They both lost their parents, and were raised by people who led them down the wrong path. She realized she didn't know him properly enough. "Your name's Roru, right?"

Roru nodded in agreement. "You're Ruby, I take it? Kurai told me you were an incredibly strong witch."

Ruby's face grew redder and redder. She shook her head in denial. "I'm not all that strong."

"If you could take me on and beat me. You are one strong witch. Were you self taught, or did you have a sensei?" Roru asked.

"It's a really long story." She said as she remembered how good of a bass player he was. "You must always get girls with you being a musician."

Roru grinned. "The sad truth is I've never had a serious relationship. This may sound cheesy, but I'm waiting for the right girl to run into my life. My brother on the other hand will hit on anything in a skirt."

"So what kind of girls are you into?" Ruby asked as her cheeks wouldn't stop burning.

"Again this'll sound cheesy. But I want a girl, that's classy, smart, elegant, and is caring, nice, and sweet at the same time."

Ruby inched her lips towards Roru's. "I like a guy, whose smart, ambitious, and is totally caring."

Roru looked up at her and felt the soft cold that her lips were given off. He had just met her, and fought her. But something about her overall charm and beauty is what drove him to do what he was doing.

Roru placed his hands on her cheeks and tilted his head so she could have more access.

"Hey dumbass!" Roru knew that voice anywhere. He broke the kiss and saw as his brother flew towards the two. "God Dammit Ganseki."

Ganseki honed in closer. "That little witch girl got the best of me until she ran for it!"

Roru faced Ruby who was relieved to hear that Yukari was somewhat alright. She eyed Roru as he gave her a serious look. "I'm really sorry for this." He suddenly punched her hard in the gut, causing her to clutch her stomach in pain. He pushed her on the ground and placed his foot on her throat. Ruby was gasping for air as Ganseki flew down towards them with Roru's bass. "You can kill her later. Mother ordered us to head back."

Roru sighed as he was handed his bass. He took his foot off of Ruby's throat, and keeled down to whisper something in her ear. "I hope you can forgive me. I can't blow my cover." He kissed her cheek and flew to join his brother.

Ganseki laughed as Roru got near them. "I'll be a monkey's uncle. I didn't think you had the killer instinct."

"Is the girl alive?" Roru asked about Yukari.

Ganseki groaned. "That little pain in the ass wouldn't stop bashing me with washtubs and flying cards. She ran for it and I lost her."

With that, the two brothers sped off, leaving Ruby, who saw as Roru left with a mad blush on his face. She massaged her windpipe as the feeling of his foot momentarily crushing it turned her on. "That was amazing." She exclaimed. "I think I'm in love."

Tsukune had no other choice but to stare at Mizore's body. For some reason, his eyes refused to close. She wore no bra, but had panties on. She was pale and slim, and her breast looked like they could fit on the palm of his hands. Her nipples looked just like cherry, the same color as her cheeks as he gazed at her.

Tsukune resisted the urge to get a nosebleed. "Mizore, this isn't a good time. Everyone needs hel-" He gulped as Mizore pointed her gun at him.

"I'm tired of you thinking about everyone. When the only one you should think about is me." Tsukune was shocked at how strict sounding her voice was. He knew she was dead serious.

Hoping to reason her. "Mizore, put down the gun. We can talk about this later."

Mizore nodded no. "I can't do that Tsukune. I want you. And if getting you means holding this gun at your head for the rest of my life." She clicked the hammer. "Then I'm willing to resort to that. All you have to do, is touch me."

"I saw what those bullets did Mizore, I'm not afraid of becoming a Popsicle." Tsukune said with bravery in his voice.

"No these ones are regular bullets. One good shot to the head is all it takes." Mizore gave him a sad smile.

Tsukune was racking his brain trying to find himself out of this situation. He decided to at least stall for time. "Mizore, why are you doing this?"

That method worked and Mizore lowered her gun. She placed it down on the snow and picked up one of the white flowers. "Do you know what this flower is capable of?"

Tsukune nodded no. To him, what was so special of this flower?

As if she read his mind, she started explaining. "This flower is called the Snow White. Every year snow women who become of age, pick these flowers for an annual ceremony that helps our kind find us a mate. It's a tradition that keeps our race alive. It's also a tradition where the snow woman is chosen a mate, and is forced to marry them."

Tsukune struggled trying to move his body, but with no luck. He had no choice but to give Mizore all ears. "That doesn't seem too bad." Tsukune said in response.

Mizore simply looked at him. Her face showed no emotions, but by the sound of her voice, she seemed sad. "When I was a little girl. I used to spy on a human town not too far from the village. There, I met a human boy who somewhat resembled you. We became friends, and I had a crush on him. So one day we went to this exact field, and picked flowers. This was also where I told him about my true identity as a monster and my feelings for him."

Tsukune imagined a miniature Mizore and someone who looks like him standing here. "What happened to the boy?" Tsukune asked.

"He ran away from me. He thought I was going to eat him." To Tsukune's surprise, Mizore started crying. Tsukune was left in shock, because as far as he knew, he's never even seen her with a single tear. "Our kind is slowly dying out because of our condition. A snow woman can only have children when we're young. I recently turned seventeen, so I need to have children as soon as possible. And I want to have your baby Tsukune."

Tsukune struggled and found himself able to move his fingers. He hoped to stall Mizore for a little longer. At the heat of the moment, he almost forgot she was completely naked. "Mizore, can you put your clothes on. I think the kimono looks cute on you."

Mizore smiled at him and blushed. She did as told and placed her kimono on before hugging him. She kissed his cheeks and inched her lips towards him. "I love you Tsukune. I know what you did with both Moka and Kurumu. And I can't bear the thought of losing you."

She stood up and picked up her pistol. She stepped towards the unconscious Moka and pointed it at her head. "That's why I'm going to eliminate the ones who'll do nothing but get in the way of our destined love."

Tsukune paled from her idea and realized he was standing on his feet. "Mizore, lets not do anything drastic. Just put the gun down."

Mizore pointed it at him. "Stay away. This is a form of love, and I'll start by taking out my biggest threat."

"Mizore, killing everyone is going to effect what we have drastically." Tsukune could feel his strength surging back in him.

"What do we have?" Mizore asked with tear filled eyes. "You slept with my love rivals. Take my feelings into account."

'How many other people know?' Tsukune thought after she said that. "Listen to what you're saying. You're not the Mizore I cared about." Tsukune finally got to her.

At those words Mizore dropped her gun and hugged him tight. "You care about me?" She sniffled in his shoulders.

"Yeah, I really do." He placed his hand on her left boob. "Which is why I have to do this." He said to her.

Mizore was suddenly blasted off her feet and flew unconscious a few feet in the snow.

Tsukune approached her and kissed the top of her forehead. "This'll give you sometime to calm down." His eyes widened as a small layer of frost started creeping down Mizore from the neck down. She momentarily opened her eyes and teared at the sight of Tsukune. "I'm sorry Tsukune. Please forgive me."

"Mizore what's happening?" Tsukune panicked as Mizore was covered in frost and her entire being shattered into tiny particles of ice crystals. Tsukune saw as the last bit of ice disappeared and Mizore was no where to be seen.

"MIZORE!" Tsukune called out, thinking she was hiding. He suddenly felt something cold pierce into his back and rip out his chest, leaving a gaping hole with an ice blade sticking out.

"You don't deserve an Angel as beautiful and pure as her. " A voice said in his ear before Tsukune fell on the ground. He turned around and noticed a boy with spiky white hair, scowling at him. Without warning, he stomped his foot on Tsukune's face. Tsukune felt his nose break, blood gushed out of it, and Tsukune was once again unable to move.

"Who are you?" Tsukune groaned as the feeling of his nose broken was shooting intense searing pain in every nerve in his body.

The boy smirked and kneeled so they were face to face. "I'm the Guardian Angel of Winter. The Snow Angel Shimo Konime."

"What did you do with Mizore?"

At the very sound of her name, Shimo scowled and stood up. "You didn't deserve to look at her body. And you don't deserve to say her name." Shimo stomped on Tsukune's face again. The force rendered him half conscious as blood oozed out. Shimo gave him another scowling glare. "Disgusting little creature. You're all the same. Nothing but people who lose themselves to their sins. You're nothing more than Asmodeus' disciple. Tch, just the sight of you makes me sick."

Shimo stomped his face one last time. "Enjoy your nosebleed." Shimo spitted in his face and disappeared as snow rised around him.

Kurai and Kokoa found themselves freezing from the cold in their soaked gear. The effects of Nagi's move still had its hold on them. And they found themselves unable to move, even after the shock of going through the freezing rapids, and facing a waterfall. They grew more tiring in the position they were in. Kokoa constantly shocking Kurai with her weakness to water wasn't helping either.

"How're you holding up?" Kurai muffled.

Kokoa gritted her fangs. "Horrible, without our nerves and without our weapons, we're going to freeze to death."

Kurai gave her a muffled groan. "Tell you what; if we get out of this, let's make a temporary term of comradery, until we beat that little bastard into submission."

Kokoa sighed. "Sounds good to me. Now do you mind getting your face out of my crotch?" She asked him.

Kurai muffled from under her. "Can you get your crotch out of my face?"

Kokoa screamed in frustration. "A mighty vampire such a myself doesn't deserve thi-"

"FFFFFRRRRRAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!"

"Oh what now?" Kurai muffled.

Kokoa heard as heavy footsteps cruched in the snow heading in their directions. Because she was face down, and Kurai's eyes were 'covered,' none of them could see what was approaching.

"Brah Brah." A deep growl rang in their ears as the footsteps stopped in front of them.

"We're going to get eaten aren't we?" Kokoa casually asked.

Kurai muffled mm-hmm as the both of them were roughly picked up by a furry white gorilla beast.

Tsukune couldn't move a muscle as blood oozed from his crooked nose, and chest. Moka, Kiria, and Kurumu were frozen solid. Mizore disappeared to who knows where. Even Levy and Kokoa's bat remained in their weapon forms and were completely useless.

Ruby, Yukari, and Gin, who was still deaf from the Siren twins, arrived and found them in their state of defeat. Yukari found Tsukune and cried out as she kneeled next to him. "They all look terrible."

"We don't have time to panic. Yukari, thaw out those three. Gin..." He looked away and she remembered he couldn't hear her.

She tapped his shoulder and gestured to Tsukune. Gin caught on and slung him over his shoulder. Yukari summoned golden tea kettles from her wand that poured hot water, thawing the frozen beauties. The girls still remained unconscious and were shivering madly.

Ruby picked up Levy and Kou in their weapon forms and slung them on her shoulder. She dragged Kiria on her shoulder, while Yukari did the same with Moka, and Gin grabbed Kurumu. Just before they left Gin sniffed the air.

'WHERE'S MIZORE! KURAI! AND KOKOA!" He still had no control of his volume.

Yukari looked as if they were playing hide and seek. "I don't see those three anywhere."

Ruby gestured to the house. "Maybe they went back for help."

"Or they're about to become a yeti's lunch." Gin's voice was in control.

"Gin you got your hearing back." Yukari said.

"Yeah, talk about a nightmare. Speaking of which." He pointed down and Yukari conjured a pair of binoculars. She looked down and saw a white beast carrying a familiar red head and blond. What Yukari found weird was that their eyes were open.

"Let's go save them!" She yelled as they carried what they could and ran down the mountain.

As nightfall came, Mr. Shirayuki placed Kokoa and Kurai down on the nearby futon as Yukari bowed in apology. "I'm terribly sorry sir, I didn't know that you were Mizore's father."

"It's quite alright. No harm was done." Mr. Shirayuki said after taking off his yeti costume. Tsurara walked up to him and kissed his cheek. "After you girls left, I sent him to find your friends. He knows these mountains better than anyone."

"I saw those two fall and went to help them. But they probably wanted some privacy." He chuckled at them

"Please don't bring it up again." Kokoa said as her bat flew on her shoulder.

Levy hugged Kurai. She was glad he was alright. "I'll be stuck with that memory for years to come." Kurai said.

They then both said in sync, "Do you mind getting us mobile again?"

Ruby approached Kurai as Levy moved aside. "I saw this in a movie." She suddenly punched him in the gut. Kurai clutched his stomach in pain and rolled over on the floor. "Man that hurt." He stopped and suddenly stood up. He flailed his body around just to make sure it was for real. "I can move."

Ruby did the same and Kokoa was back to normal. Kokoa stretched her arms

As the two were getting reacquainted with their body, Kurai and Levy walked across the hall and went into Kiria's room. She must've just got out of the bath because she was in nothing but a towel. She turned to him and immediately hugged him, sending them both falling and landing on the ground with Kiria smushed on top of him. Levy wanted to join in ad dog piled on top of her.

Kurai stood up and picked up Levy, who was now starting to yawn. "I'm going to put Levy to bed." He walked out and came back two minutes later, only to get tackled by Kiria again.

Kurai groaned and sat up with her kneeling between his legs. She kissed his lips and rested her head on his chest. "I was so worried about you." The both of them stood up and shared another hug.

"How's everyone doing?" He asked as he rested his head on her shoulder, resisting the urge to creepily sniff her hair.

"Everyone's fine." She assured him. "Tsukune got a bad hole in his chest, and had a crooked nose. But he'll pull through."

'Good thing we can't feel each other's pain.' Kurai thought as Kiria broke the hug. She took off his jacket for him and hung it on the door. "You're going to get a cold if you don't get out of those wet clothes." She said.

"Blame it on your dipshit brother." Kurai gave her a dark look as if the very mention of Nagi was like poison. "Your family is going down one way or another."

Kiria gave him a sad smile. "I know you hold a grudge against them, but they're still my family."

"Do you even remember what Nagi said and did to you of his own free will?" Kurai reminded her.

Kiria started to sniffle causing him to soften a bit. "If you don't mind, I don't want to talk about it." Kurai nodded and she gestured to his clothes. "You're going to get sick if you don't take off those wet clothes." She said again.

Kurai responded by taking off his shirt. "Good idea."

Kiria turned her gaze away from him and blushed. "Maybe you should take a hot bath." She desperately wanted to say the words "we" and "together" but she stopped herself.

"I'll go take a shower." He left to the bathroom and Kiria felt her cheeks burn hearing the water go off. She laid back on the bed trying desperately to elude any dirty thoughts. She remembered talking to Kurumu about how to seduce men, and thought of one of her sayings.

Clothes really do make the women

Kurai stepped out of the shower in a simple white t-shirt and black track pants. The moment he layed eyes on Kiria, his jaw dropped.

She posed on the bed in a light pink kimono, with the top of it open to reveal her ample cleavage. She smirked and winked. "You like what you see?" She said in her best seductive tone.

Kurai gave her his own smirk. "Okay spill it."

She sat up and walked up to him. She wrapped her arms around his shoulder. "What do you mean?" She asked as she placed her lips on his ears and whispered. "I just want to spend some quality time with my Kurai."

"There it is." Kiria's eyes widened as she looked into his gaze. "Where's the Snuggly Pumpkin, or the Schnooky Doodles? Hold that thought." He ran into the bathroom and she heard him vomit. He stepped out wiping his mouth. "Sorry."

Kiria sat back on the bed and looked down. "I just wanted to know if you truly loved me."

Kurai sat next to her. "Of course I love you." Kurai placed a hand on her shoulder trying to comfort her.

"Then what about Ayami?" She asked.

Kurai was surprised by her question, and then realized what was troubling her. "Oh man, you're jealous!"

Kurai laughed and lied back as she kneeled on top of him and started smacking him. "I'm not jealous." She fumed as her cheeks puffed out.

Kurai looked up at her. "There's something you should know about Ayami."

Kiria glared at him with jealousy in her eyes. "What? Is it that she's prettier than me? Or has an amazing figure?" Kiria lifted up her breast. "Or that her breast are more firm and perky than mine?"

"Kiria, Ayami's a lesbian." Kurai blurted. At the very words, Kiria's entire face went red.

Kurai laughed from her embarassment as he got up and walked over to his jacket. He pulled out something and kneeled behind Kiria. He took his fingers and started twiddling with her hair. "What are you doing?" She asked.

"Just hold still for a second." A minute later, Kiria looked in the mirror and noticed a white flower hanging in her hair. "It's beautiful."

Kurai laid back admiring his work. "Don't tell anyone, but when I was little, my mother Kami would put flowers in my hair because she thought it went well with my hair."

Kiria was too touched by his flower to laugh at how hilarious that sounded. "I love it." She was suddenly seized in a hug from behind and was kissed on the back of her neck. She felt Kurai's lips trailed from her neck up to her cheeks, and to her ear. "You're the most beautiful flower I've ever met."

Kiria blushed as she faced him and kissed him, forcing her tongue in his mouth and exploring every nook and cranny. Kurai's eyes widened as she was being so forceful and rough.

He momentarily broke the kiss much to her disappointment. "Wait... Kiria, what are you doing?" He asked as her as she continuously kissed his lips and cheeks. As the scent of ecstacy began to flow in the air, both Kiria and Kurai had felt the effects of it. Kiria had stopped kissing him and had begun to look into his eyes. As they shared a soft passionate kiss, Kiria stepped back and tripped on the bed pulling Kurai down with her. Kurai kneeled up and gazed at the beauty lying under him. Her hair was sprawled across the bed and the flower lying on top. Her skin looked beautifully pale under the moonlight, and the cleavage from her kimono was a sight to behold.

"Kurai." She abruptly told him with cheeks as red as a tomato.

"Kiria." Kurai whispered to her. "I love you."

Kurai sat on the headboard and Kiria crawled up him and the two were engaged in a battle of dominance with each other's tongue. Kiria moaned as his tongue explored her mouth and trailed a kiss down to his neck. Kurai slowly removed her kimono and realized she wasn't wearing a bra. With that, he fondled her supple breast. Kiria loved the feeling as his hands worked wonders on her. As his lips trailed from her cheek, to her neck, all the way to the valley between her breasts.

Kiria's head went back as she slowly took off his shirt, exposing his bare chest. "Kurai, touch me."

Kurai looked up to her and cupped her cheeks. "You got to beg for it." He passionately kissed her and refused to release her lips from his lock.

Something made Kiria's body ache for his hands to touch all over her. She pushed him off of her and forcefully took off his pants. She smushed her body on him and ran her fingers through his hair. She gripped her fingers into his skin and stared him down. "I want you to fuck my brains out." She said with grit teeth.

Kurai smirked and and gripped on her panties. "Whatever you want beautiful." He took off her underwear and gripped her bare butt as she ripped off his boxers. Kurai flipped on top of her and broke the kiss as he started massaging her breasts. She moaned and fell down on the bed, with him hovering above her, massaging her delicate breasts. She moaned as he played with her nipples, licking them, biting them, sucking on them, and rubbing them between his fingers. Her body trembled as he pleasured her. She just wiggled underneath him, only able to moan as he teased her, tortured her by playing with her fragile body, but giving her no freedom to move about. She was completely at his mercy.

Much to her disappointment, Kurai ceased playing with her breasts and kissed her cheek. "You have the most supple, delicate skin I've ever felt. He stuck is tongue on her cheek and slid it down up to her stomach, leaving behind a trail of saliva. Kurai stopped midlick at her waist and kissed his way down to her womanhood. He kissed her crotch, and without a moment's hesitation drilled his tongue into her already wet entrance.

"Kurai~" She moaned, drool coming from the corner of her cheek. She ran her fingers through his hair as he continued pleasuring her. Ripples of pleasure pulsed through her entire body, and she felt her thighs quiver as she was reaching her climax.

"I'm about to cu-" She was interrupted as she resisted the urge not to moan loudly as she released her juice in his mouth. Kurai stood up and wiped his mouth as he inched his face close to her. "That was delicious."

"I'm not going to let you have all the fun." Kiria flipped him on the bed and wrapped her arms around his neck. She straddled her body and rubbed herself on him, giving him light kisses all over his body. As she worked, her legs subconsciously rubbed all over his shaft until it was hard and straight. Her lips trailed down to his shaft and slowly lowered her mouth on it.

Kurumu had once taught her the proper way to have sex, including giving a blowjob. Despite that, Kiria was afraid to give him one, fearing she might hurt him. She slowly worked her tongue around the top and licked a circle around her. Kurai shuddered at the moist heat she was giving off. Kiria felt his shiver and realized she wasn't hurting him, but pleasuring him. Filled with bravado, she closed her mouth around his manhood.

Slowly, she took it in deeper. Kurumu had said something about gag reflexes and to go only as deep as was comfortable. Kiria tested that out now. Slowly, shielding her teeth with her lips, she took him in more and more. She was mildly surprised at the depths of her own mouth, and his trembling showed that he was also shocked. Finally, she felt him hit the back of her throat. It triggered no gagging, luckily, but she did not think it could go further, not without sliding down her throat.

Kurai gritted his teeth to keep from making noise but was finding it increasingly difficult. He had never felt anything this beyond amazing. He hated himself for not remembering having sex with her that first time.

"Kiria...Wow." That was all he could muster as everything seemed to slow down around him. He tensed up and flinched. Kiria felt it and ceased looking up at him.

She cupped his cheeks with her hands. "Are you okay?" She asked in a shaky voice. "Am I doing it wrong?" She cringed. "Oh God, did my teeth scrape it? Was I sucking too hard? Did I hurt you?"

Kurai gazed into her worried eyes and payed her with a heart fluttering kiss. "I'm fine." He said in hoarsed tone. "I was just surprised. That's all."

He smiled at her. "Do you want to...to...see it through to the end?" She realized what he meant, and with her heart pounding in her throat, she nodded. He leaned over, held her face to turn it up, and kissed her firmly. Resting his forehead against hers, with his blonde hair blending with her white strands, he breathed hotly, "Thank you. I can't even begin to tell you how happy this makes me feel."

Kiria's heart fluttered and she placed her mouth right back over him. Without her fear or insecurity, she leaned in and gave him a long lick from base to head. Despite himself, he held the back of her head and thrust more into her he asked for this, he had no idea it would feel this good.

Kiria released his dick from her mouth and rubbed his manhood inbetween her breast. She wanted to work him to his climax and swallow it all in at the last second. And it went without saying that Kurai was loving the feeling. His breathing became shallow and hoarse as her incredibly soft, luscious pillows worked wonders on him. He felt the contents of his shaft tighten up and got ready to explose. "Kiria, oh god...I'm about to cum." He gritted.

Kiria quickly took her mouth and placed it over his shaft just as he reached his climax, and she felt his thick warm liquid flood into her mouth. Kiria's eyes widened as the warm cum filled her mouth. She knew what to expect, but the taste was a lot worse than she had anticipated. Kurumu claimed that men tasted as sweet as Valentine's candy was nothing but a load of lies. On the contrary, it was bitter with a strong saltiness, and as she tried to swallow it down, she nearly choked at how thick the fluid was. If her juice tasted the same as this, how could Kurai say it was delicious?

Kurai released all he had and lied back on the headboard. He was panting at what she just did to him. "That felt really amazing." He said as she snuggled against his chest. She kissed his left pectoral and rubbed her hand against his right. She snuggled and buried her head in his chest. She was forcefully thrown and lied on the bead as Kurai kneeled on top of her. "You pleased me." He kissed and tugged on the skin of her neck, causing her to wince and squirm. "Now it's my turn."

She bended forward and he placed his manhood at her entrance. She nodded and he pressed in. She remembered the first time they did it, and how much it hurt. After a while, there was nothing but unbelievable pleasure. And she loved every second of it, because that was all she felt. Kurai muffled her moans with anoither kiss as he started thrusting into her.

She moaned as he pounded deep inside her, reaching all the way to the top. Her breasts moved forward and backward with each motion, her body got completely wracked with each thrust he made. "Kurai~ Kurai~" she chanted his name as he rammed his cock inside her. The pleasure she was feeling was amazing. His large member rubbing her walls sent shivers up her spine. Each time he slammed his cock deep in side, waves of pleasure coursed through her body. She could only moan him name as he made love to her.

"Kurai… does it… feel good?" She asked between moans. "Do you… like it?" She moaned, wanting an immediate answer.

"Yeah… it feels… great." He moaned, smiling at her as h. She arched her back up and wrapped her arms around his neck before she kissed him, as he kept thrusting her. His arms wrapped around her waist and he slammed into her as hard as he could, making her break the kiss with a moan. With each thrust, he could feel himself getting closer to climaxing. He knew by the way she was moaning, she was getting close too. "Kiria, I can't take it." He moaned.

"Come… inside me…" She said, turning her head for one last kiss. "I love you." She moaned as he doubled his speed. As an Angel, Kiria was in heaven! It wasn't long before it was too much to handle, making Kurai release his seeds deep inside her. She felt his hot sperm fill her womb, making her come as well.

They both gave each other a passionate kiss as Kiria moaned in his mouth. She slumped back on the bed as her chest heaved. Kurai pulled the covers over the both of them and allowed Kiria to rest her head on his chest. "I love you so much." She crawled up his body, letting her breast rub against his body, and rested to wear she could face him and be relaxed. They gazed into each other's eyes and shared a slow kiss filled with much passion. Kurai was surprised as tears flowed down her cheek, and stung his lips. Kurai looked up at her and was shocked to see her tearing up. He wrapped his arms on her back and pulled her down beside him. "Don't cry, it doesn't suit you."

"You're right." Kiria wiped her tears and smiled at him. She traced her fingers on him and cuddled his chest. "When Ayami came, and told us how close you two were. I was afraid old feelings would come back, and I would've lost the only boy I fell in love with."

"Look at me." He sternly told her. She looked up into his serious eyes and quivered a little bit. "Do you feel anything, when I say 'I love you'? Do you?"

Kiria nodded. "Of course, it makes me feel more than happy."

"Then why is it, you have the need to feel jealous?" He asked her.

Kiria shrugged her shoulders. "I guess I just get scared is all. I don't know call it a women's intuition." She adjusted her hands a bit and carefully took the flower from her hair off. "What are you doing?" Kurai asked.

Kiria placed it down on the nightstand and kissed Kurai's cheek before resting her head on him. "I don't want it to get ruined. You can put it back on first thing in the morning." She closed her eyes and rested her head on his shoulders with her lips on his neck. "I love you." She lifted her head and kissed his nose. Kurai pulled the blankets over them and placed his hands on her back. "Love you too."

As Tsukune's eyes opened, the first thing he felt was his stomach feeling as if his internal organs were forcefully ripped out. His face felt like it was hit repeatedly with Kokoa's hammer. He looked at his wrist where his Holy Lock was, and wondered who put it on. As he tried to think back to what happened, a slight moan caught his attention. That's when he realized there was someone cuddled against his chest, and looked down and saw a mop of white hair facing him. Tsukune turned his head towards the nightstand and realized the Rosary was lying on top of it, unfortuanately confirming his theory. What made matters worse was that she was lacking in clothing, and that he was only in his boxers.

'If Moka wakes up and sees us like this. I might as well write my will.'

Moka groaned and looked up at the fear stricken boy. Her eyes were glazed and had a tired look to them. But on sight of him, she smiled lazily.

"Good morning, Tsukune." She mumbled and rested her head on his bare chest.

Several emotions and feelings flooded Tsukune's system. Surprised, confused, flabbergasted, but the top two were fear, and shock. He didn't dare move as he was trying to think of a way out of this. His thoughts were interrupted as he looked down at his chest and noticed a thin scar running through where he remembered being stabbed.

As if she could read his thoughts, Moka sat up and stretched. "You were in pretty bad shape, but your powers helped you a bunch."

Tsukune racked his brain trying to process what was going on. Moka was naked in his room and he was in his boxers. And she hasn't attempted to hurt him. "Moka, why were you and I sleeping together?"

Moka smirked at him and walked up to him. When they first met, she was taller than him. But now they were around the same height, allthough he was a bit taller than her. She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed it. That was before biting it, having her fill.

'That hurts more than the other one.' He thought. Moka released her fangs and licked the wound clean. She leaned her head in slowly and whispered in his ear. "Someone had to clean all the blood from your wounds. It was ambrosial, and savory."

Tsukune blushed madly as her lips pressed against his cheeks. She released him and was in the process of putting her clothes on.

As Tsukune was putting on his pants, he glimpsed at the silver haired Moka, and couldn't help but think to himself.

'Was Moka actually worried about me? I've never seen this side of her. I'm almost too scared to ask.'

His thoughts were interrupted as she talked with her back turned. "You blocked my kick, and then killed that beast." She cupped her bra on, and motioned to her back straps. "You mind?"

Tsukune was surprised at what he asked her and found himself hooking on her strap. "That's right, I used one of those Sinful Incantations, and sent it flying."

Moka nodded. "After that you passed out, and before I knew it, I was frozen in ice."

"Are you okay?" He asked momentarily remembering her condition.

"After I was unfrozen, I clung onto you for body warmth." She licked her lips in a seductive manner. "It was wonderful."

Tsukune still had trouble processing what he was saying. "Did we do it?"

"Like how you did Kurumu, and the other me?" Moka scooped up the Rosary and shrugged her shoulders. Before she snapped it on, she winked and muttered. "Maybe."

The Rosary snapped on, and the pink headed Moka collapsed huddled on the bed. Tsukune positioned her on the bed and threw the covers over her. He decided to let her get some sleep for a while. After putting on pants and a shirt, he kissed the top of her forehead and allowed her to sleep, still wondering what was up with the other Moka, and how the hell did she find out about Kurumu.

As he walked down the hall, he passed by Kurai's door and noticed that him, Kiria, and Levy were talking to someone through what looked like pentagram screen in the air. Tsukune got a close look and noticed the man had neat white hair, a white suit with a matching neck handkerchief.

Levy noticed Tsukune and waved at him. "Hi Tsukune!" He interpreted.

Kurai, who understood her, and Kiria turned to the door and gestured him in. "Morning dude." Kurai said.

Tsukune pointed to the screen. "What's this?"

Kiria pointed to the man. "Tsukune, this is my father, Ichiya Konime. We're communicating by distorting light waves in order to create an image of one another. It's like web chatting with light."

Tsukune turned to Kurai hoping for a translation. He merely shrugged his shoulders. Tsukune turned to Ichiya and bowed. "It's an honor to meet you sir."

"Tsukune Aono? Kurai told me about you two being blood brothers. It's very nice to meet you."

"So what are you guys talking about?" Tsukune asked.

Kurai's facial expression turned serious. "We were telling him about what's been happening, and what we found out."

Tsukune turned to Ichiya, who held a look of discomfort. Tsukune couldn't blame him; finding out his family was trying to obliterate mankind. To keep the situation from getting awkward. "I'm going to let you guys talk." He left without another word and all three turned back to him.

"Are you okay daddy?" Kiria asked.

Ichiya nodded. "I'm fine. Just surprised that I've been dangerously close to someone so evil. And my own children..."

Kurai, had to get this off his chest. "I feel weird saying this, but me and everyone else might have to..."

"Kill them?" Ichiya finished. Kurai bit back as he was afraid to continue. He basically asked him permission to slaughter his children. Ichiya nodded though. "I understand. It's a tough decision a father has to make. But it's either their lives, or the lives of billions." Ichiya took a deep breath. "But I have to warn you..."

"That they're incredibly strong." Kurai finished for him. "They took us all down one by one. I have to give Nagi credit, I didn't think he could control a dragon."

"Nagi didn't tame the dragon you fought." Ichiya interrupted. His sad expression turned into a grim fear. "I'm afraid that was all Lunar."

"Lunar?" Kurai remembered what Kiria had told him when she was telling him about the oldest Konime sibling.

Yeah, she was the first one our dad adopted after he got remarried, and she's the oldest. She's always out traveling, so we rarely ever see her. Even when she does come home, it's usually for a good few hours

Kurai turned to Kiria. "Your sister can turn into a dragon?" Kurai figured. If that was true, then there was nothing to worry about since Tsukune killed the beast.

"Not exactly." Kiria answered.

Ichiya told him. "Lunar isn't like the others. The power she possesses wouldn't be one to underestimate. Her monster form isn't like the others where it's close to an Angel."

"What exactly is she?" If she was strong as Ichiya was telling him, he had to know.

"She's a witch." Ichiya revealed.

"And? In case you forgotten, I have two witches for friends. That doesn't make her intimidating."

Ichiya pinched the bridge of his nose at Kurai's arrogance. "It's not what she is you should fear. It's what she can do is what makes her dangerous."

"Nya nya nya nya nya?" Levy said.

"She said what kind of magic does she use?" Kurai translated.

"Mother, you summoned us?" Nagi asked as all the Konime siblings were present and accounted for.

"I want to congratulate you on your recent fight against the Hell Spawn and his friends." She told them.

Nagi laughed. "And I called Kurai my rival, he wasn't even worthy of kissing my boot." Jundo approached Nagi, and suddenly slapped him across the face. "You said his name." She told him. Nagi realized his mistake and bowed. "Forgive me mother, I won't say it again." He was interrupted as something clattered to his feet. He looked down and saw a dagger lying near him.

"Cut it off." His mother ordered. "Your tongue."

Nagi gave his mother a grave look. "I'm sorry. I won't do it again." He begged. He was shaking under her intense, dark glare.

Jundo gestured to the knife. "Do it."

"Mother, isn't that a bit extreme?" Roru said to her. "It was an honest mistake."

"Just saying the name of the Hell Spawn is a sin. And now you have to atone." Jundo said.

Nagi slowly and shakily took the knife and placed the metal in his mouth.

As he dug the serrated edge back and forth, Nagi's blood curdled screaming echoed across the room.

Koyomi looked away so she wouldn't have to remember the image.

Ganseki focused on tuning his guitar as his brother's screams ran loud and clear in his head.

Lunar and Shimo simply watched with an emotionless face as Roru on the other hand, looked in utter horror.

After a minute, blood flowed through Nagi's mouth as he held his tongue in a closed fist.

Jundo turned her attention to Shimo. "Shimo, has our prisoner been satisfied?"

"She hasn't been harmed in anyway. She hasn't awoken yet though." Shimo answered with a bow.

"Good, good." The Angel responded in a sickly sweet tone. "You make sure to keep her satisfied." Shimo left with another bow. Once he was gone, Jundo turned to the rest of her kids. "As for the rest of you."

The five siblings stared waiting for her orders.

"I want you to cleanse the entire village. Leave no survivors." She said with a dark tone

Roru was the first to object. "Absolutely not!" Everyone turned to him. "Mother, they never did anything to you. Don't do this."

The Angel chuckled at his attempt to stop her. "Not yet, but because I overthrew the Priestess, they're bound to rebel and attack. And it's best to rid ourselves of obstacles before they block your path."

Roru's wings came out and he flew . "If I can't stop you, I'm going to warn Ruby, and the village."

"Naughty boy. Treachery is the worst kind of sin there is. And to your mother? Unforgiveable." The Angel snapped her fingers. "Lunar."

"Yes mother." Lunar unrolled the sleeve on her right arm and pointed it at the flying Siren. "Come Dragon of the Deadly venom." A black tattoo flew from her arm and took the form of a large serpent with violet scales, large fangs, and a light colored underside. The eyes were green with black pupils. And a pair of scaly purple wing like arms. The creature took flight and flew to Roru, who readied his bass and sent a sonic blast. The creature dodged it and sank it's fangs into his arm.

"Ahhhh!" Roru screamed in agony as he and the dragon flew and smashed through the window. Jundo gestured to Ganseki. "Get him."

Ganseki nodded and left. A few minutes later, he came back Roru less. "He's gone."

"Doesn't matter." Lunar said as the serpent wrapped around her body. "The venom will slowly stop his heart and organs. In a matter of hours he'll die in painful agony. If not, he'll merely freeze to death."

Jundo smirked. "Good."

She snapped her fingers. "You kids go and do the same to every snow person in the village. Except for you Nagi, stay here for a second."

Nagi quivered in fear, afraid what she was going to have him do. Once everyone was gone, she looked him dead in the eye. "Take that sword, and do what you do best." A blue light covered her hands and she placed it over Nagi's blood drooling mouth. Although, it didn't replace his tongue, it did stop the bleeding. Nagi left without another word.

Jundo looked out the crystal window and saw the aurora shining brightly across the sky. She picked up her briefcase and opened it to reveal a small black cube.

"It's time for the world to reach the upmost purity." She gave a feral smile and chuckled.

"Death magic?" Yukari repeated after Kurai told them everything Ichiya told them. They had gathered everyone around the table to talk about their recent fight. And the reason behind the dragon was explained.

Ruby wasn't too happy as she banged her fist on the table. "And Seith magic too? Does she even know what kind of power she's playing with?"

Kurumu raised her hand. "I'm still confused. I understand Death magic, but what's Seith magic?"

Yukari answered. "It's a rare kind of magic that's not used much these days."

Ruby took over. "It's been looked down upon, even in the witch community. It's not forbidden." She looked down. "But it is considered unethical."

Tsukune asked. "But what does it do?"

"Like how Demons eat souls, and how Shinigami use Death Scythes that let them collect souls, Seith magic lets you take control of souls. And you use it to your liking." Ruby answered.

"Like mind control?" Moka asked.

"Something like that. Do you remember the Gorgon sister that controlled the boy's bodies after they looked in her eyes? No matter what they could do, they were used like puppets. That's what Seith magic is. Complete mastery over a soul."

"So she can take out a person's soul?" Kurumu asked.

Yukari answered. "It doesn't work like that. Although it's powerful, there's a setback to that kind of magic. If the owner of the soul has a working body; using Seith magic, would be like trying to stab someone wearing armor. It's impossible."

Ruby took over. "But if what Kiria's father said was true, and she was practitioner of Death magic. That could turn the whole thing around."

Gin wondered something. "What exactly can she do with the souls?"

"There are limitless possibilities." Ruby answered.

"Even if she's capable of that, what do you think the odds were that was just a wild Blizzern?" Kurai asked.

Mr. Shirayuki entered the room and answered his question. "That wouldn't be possible. Blizzerns have been extinct for three years. These mountains used to be full of them. A while back they disappeared, and all that was found were the remains hidden in a cave."

Kurai turned to Kiria, who was busy braiding Levy's hair. "Kiria, you told me your sister is always traveling." That caught Kiria's attention and everyone turned to him. "What exactly does she do in her travels?"

"I don't know. She never told me." Kiria looked down at Levy's hair and continued braiding it. She refused to look up at him. That all changed when he tilted her chin and forced her to look in his eyes. She noticed they were a demonic red. That was a sign he wasn't playing around. "Don't lie to me."

Everyone stared in silence at their stare off. After gazing in somewhat fear of his eyes, Kiria finally caved in. "Ever since she was a little girl, Lunar had an unhealthy obsession. She always said she wanted to see one. Every one of my siblings and I calls her the Dragon Slayer Lunar, because she travels around the world, and kills dragons."

Everyone stared in shock at Kiria, who went back to braiding Levy's hair. "She's the most powerful of us siblings. She's slaughtered countless of them and takes over their souls. Mother made us swore never to tell anyone. Even if all of us fought her at once. None of us would even come close to her."

"But where does she put them?" Ruby suddenly asked, much to everyone's confusion. She realized she didn't explain. "When someone takes a soul, they need something to put it in. A doll, a toy, or even a rock. The souls need a vessel to move around in."

"Lunar always dons a cloak." Kiria began. "Or really long clothing that cover a majority of her body. But under those clothes, are dragon tattoos, etched on every part of her body. But those aren't ink drawings. Those are all of her dragon souls that she's collected. There's no type or species in existence she hasn't collected."

Kurai looked up at Ruby with another question. "Is there anything that can fight Seith magic?"

Yukari nodded no. "As far as we know, there's no magic that can counterattack Seith magic. Trying to fight a soul would be like fighting a ghost."

Kokoa turned to Kiria. "She's your sister, don't you know anything that can help us?"

Kiria and Levy noddded no. "She doesn't talk about personal stuff. I'm sorry, I'm useless in that category."

Kurumu looked around and spoke up. "Hey guys, I hate to go off subject, but has anyone seen Mizore?"

Everyone looked around and noticed she wasn't around. Which was normal, seeing as she would always hide around.

"Maybe she went off stalking someone." Gin pointed out. Even though he was joking, he did have a point.

"She's been more reclusive since we got here." Moka pointed out.

"Maybe she's hiding somewhere." Kokoa said. He looked around seeing if he could find her.

"I doubt she's in the house." Kurai said as his face looked strained. "I can't sense her soul anywhere in the vicinity."

Mrs. Shirayuki suddenly appeared from under the table. "She's not anywhere in the house, or in the mountains." Her sudden appearance made everyone back away screaming.

"You really are Mizore's mother." Moka panted.

Gin turned to Tsukune, who looked as if he was having a hard time concentrating something. "You okay bro?"

Tsukune nodded. "I feel like I'm supposed to remember something." He pinched the bridge of his nose and winced as he remembered it hurt. "Hold on, why is my nose hurting?"

He suddenly remembered being stabbed, and seeing spiky white hair. The events of what happened to Mizore flooded through his mind. Through a sudden fit of rage, he punched a hole in the wall. "She's dead." He said.

Everyoe stared at him in eerie silence. There was no way what he was saying was true. Mizore, the ice stalker they all cared about was dead.

"Tsukune..." Moka quivered. "What are you saying?"

"That bastard who called himself the Snow Angel Shimo, he caused frost to cover Mizore, and she shattered to a million was before he tried to turned me into Swiss cheese, and bashed my nose in." Tsukune teared up as the memory was fresh in his mind. Everyone would've cried too, but Tsurara intervened.

"Mizore is not dead." Everyone turned to her as she explained. "I know what you're talking about. The Snow Angel who assaulted you, merely took her."

Kurumu abruptly stood. "That doesn't make sense. Why would they want Mizore?"

Kokoa said, "Maybe they're going to use her as a hostage."

"Or a sacrifice." Kurai suggested.

Moka turned to Tsukune. "Hold on, when did you see Mizore get captured?"

'If I told them it was her who shot at us. They would never forgive her.'

He knew to protect Mizore, he had to lie. "Shimo sniped us after Nagi had left. He was responsible for freezing us. He almost had me but Mizore fought him off and got overpowered. That was what I saw before he knocked me out."

Tsurara glided towards Tsukune and stared him in the eye. After a minute she turned back around. "Well, if I had to guess, maybe the Snow Angel you're talking about took her as his bride."

That left everyone shocked. "Why would Shimo want Mizore as a bride?" Kiria asked.

Tsurara sighed. "Well, in case you don't know, snow women have a very interesting reproductive cycle. Once we reach a certain age, we're no longer able to carry a child."

Tsukune remembered Mizore telling him that before she disappeared.

"Shimo is a proud Yuki-Otoko. He would do anything for his own kind." Kiria told them. "He wouldn't marry a girl unless she was a Yuki-Onna."

Kurumu gritted her teeth. Although she wouldn't openly admit it, but she had grown to care for Mizore. And she was determined not to allow her to marry anyone so evil. "Those Angels made us look like fools, and took our dear friend." Everyone was shocked to see tears in her eyes. "It'll be a cold day in hell, before we let anything happen to Mizore. That's why we're going to get her back."

"Kurumu." Tsukune said.

Mr. Shirayuki spoke. "From what I've been hearing. The Angel's took over the snow palace and overthrew the Priestess."

Tsurara walked over to the nearby cabinet. "If you're going to get her back." She opened the cabinet and revealed several different calibers and varieties of firearms. "You're going to need firepower." She opened the table drawer and pulled out a pistol. Under her coffee table was several assault rifles. And under the kitchen sink was boxes of ammunition.

Gin picked up a shotgun and cocked it back, wanting to see if it was real. "You have more guns than an armory."

Tsurara nodded with a smile. "I've always wanted to be a spy."

Kurumu picked up a pistol, and gave everyone a determined look. "We're going to get Mizore back, by any means necessary."

The conversation was interrupted as there was a sudden harsh banging on the door. Whoever it was, they didn't have time to waste as they slammed on the door.

Tsukune pointed to Gin. "Get the door." Tsukune pointed a shotgun at the door. Levy transformed into a tomahawk, and Kurai got ready to kill. As everyone backed away, Gin opened the door, and a body with long white hair fell face first against the door. Two angel wings were spread on his back, and a bass was lying strapped around his neck.

Kurai's eyes turned red. "Roru." He growled as he readied Levy to kill him. A hand suddenly grabbed his arm and pulled him back. It was revealed to be Ruby as she hovered over him. "Don't kill him, he's not our enemy."

"Ruby, get out of the way." Gin pointed his gun at Roru's head. He definitely wanted to pay this guy back for what he did to him yesterday. Ruby pointed her wand at all of them, prepared to fight. "Just listen to me. He's not a bad person. He's our ally."

"What are you talking about?" Gin said.

"When we were seperated, he told me that he doesn't want anything to do with his family's plans." Ruby gestured to him, and looked in horror once she got a close look at him. His skin was clammy, and incredibly pale, two bite marks were noticeable on his jacket. Ruby rolled up his sleeve and her eyes widened as his arm was a sickly green, and whatever it was seemed to be spreading.

She pointed to Tsukune and Kurai. "He's hurt. Quick get him on the couch." They both reluctantly did as told and carried his body and lied it on the futon. "It looks like some kind of poison." She pointed at Moka and Kurumu. "Find some towels and run them under hot water." Kiria immediately rushed to his aid. "That won't be necessary." She placed her hands over Roru's poisoned arm and a blue light washed over it. The poison faded in no time at all.

Once it was healed Roru's eyes fluttered and he took into his surroundings. "Wh-where am I?" He turned to Ruby as she stroked his hair. "Ruby."

"You're going to be alright, just save your strength." She told him in a sweet voice.

"Ahem." Ruby turned to everyone's glaring eyes. "Care to explain?" Kurumu asked.

Ruby sported an embarrassed blush, and was suddenly blocked by Roru. "I'm not of your concern. You have to list-" He bit back as Kurumu pointed a gun at his head. "Where did you take Mizore?"

Roru held his hands up in surrender. "You're friends alright, but I can't say the same for her village." As if on cue, Tsurara and Mr. Shirayuki walked in. "What do you mean?"

"Our mother ordered us to eradicate the entire village and everyone in it." He told them. "When I tried to warn everyone, one of Lunar's dragons got to me. I was lucky to make it up here with what little strength I had left."

Ruby placed a hand on his shoulders. "You did the right thing. Don't worry, we're going to protect you."

All of a sudden, several dark purple chains shot out of Tsukune's wrist and wrapped around Roru tightly. "What are you doing?"

"Sorry, but I'm still having trouble trusting you." Tsukune gave him a dark look.

Roru struggled and turned to his sister. "Kiria, tell him let me go."

Kiria refused to look at him and buried her face in Kurai's chest, shocking Roru to an extent. He was afraid his sister would have a gard time trusting him. "At least let me come with you."

"Should we?" Kokoa asked. "He could've faked that injury, and is leading us into a trap."

"I say we take him a hostage." Gin said. "Threaten to kill him, if they don't give back Mizore."

"Listen you fucking idiots!" Roru yelled at them much to their anger. "Did you forget that your friend's village is about to be slaughtered?"

Kiria momentarily looked up at him with shocked eyes. "Kurai, let him out."

Kurai was prepared to scold her. "Are you out of y-"

"I know him better than his own brother. He's not one to lose his temper unless he was serious." Kiria said. "Just do it."

"Kurai, don't." Kurumu said.

Kurai sighed. "Gin's our leader, he fought this guy, he calls the shots."

"Dude!" Roru spat.

Gin didn't even think about it. "He stays here. It's better not to take any risks."

Roru growled in annoyance. "I can give you val-"

"Not another word." Tsukune said. "You're staying put."

Moka stared at him. "Tsukune, this isn't like you." She said somewhat worried. The Tsukune she knew was always willing to trust someone if they proved themself.

Tsukune heard her and sighed to himself. "Right now we got to keep more blood from shedding." Tsukune pointed to Kurai. "You think we can teleport everyone?"

Kurai nodded and everyone gathered around them.

"Wait!" Roru said as everyone turned to him. "At least let me tell you this. You can't underestimate the others. If you remember what they did to you all, then you know they're a force to be reckoned with. If you fight them, at least take my advice." Everyone for once decided to give him all ears. "If you're fighting Koyomi, dont let her touch you. And whatever you do, don't let my brother take off his headphones."

"What about if we're fighting your witch sister Lunar?" Yukari asked.

At her very name, Roru paled in fear. "If you're fighting Lunar, all I can tell you is try not to die."

Kurai sighed. "Ready to go Tsukune?"

Tsukune nodded and focused his energy on a multi teleportation. Roru and Ruby looked each other in the eyes and gave one another a smile. Roru turned as Mr and Mrs. Shirayuki waved them off. "Come back with our daughter, and don't worry about your friend." Her hands turned into an ice claw and pointed it at Roru's neck. "We'll watch over him."

With that, everyone disappeared in a flash of smoke.

Mizore's eyes fluttered open, and felt an feeling of immense comfort as she fully awoke. She was lying on a soft cushioned bed with linen pillows. The room she was in was adorned with intricately cut ice furniture, and a crystal window.

"I see you're awake." Mizore turned and saw a boy with white spiky hair, wearing a kong white coat over a red shirt, and matching white pants, and a lollipop was in his mouth.

"Where am I?" Mizore asked as she stood up and faced the boy, who eyed her up and down. Mizore looked at herself in the mirror and saw herself wearing a light blue kimono with a floral print. "And who are you?"

The boy smirked and gingerly held her hand. "I am the Snow Angel, Shimo Konime." He kissed her hand in a gentlemen's manner, and mizore swiped her hand in disgust. "It's nice to meet you, Mizore Shirayuki."

"Konime? You're one of them Mizore's hand turned into an ice claw. "How the hell do you know my name?"

Shimo stepped towards her until he was face to face with her. Mizore attempted to turn her hand into an ice claw, but she found herself growing hotter and was panting rapidly.

She lied back on the bed and realized that the room felt stuffy and warm. "What's going on?" She wiped the sweat from her forehead. "It's so hot."

Shimo took the loolipop out of his mouth and smirked. "I had a heater installed so you wouldn't try anything." From his pocket, he pulled out another lollipop. "I have another lollipop if you want."

Mizore intended to refuse his offer. But she couldn't handle the heat for another second. Like a drug addict, she reached for the candy, begging. "Give it to me." Shimo held his hand back and smiled at the struggling girl. He finally handed it to her and she quickly popped it into his mouth.

Shimo smiled at how cute she was begging like a puppy and approached the window. He saw the snow falling down the aurora and gazed at the beauty that was the village.

"Isn't it beautiful?" He asked as he had his back turned to Mizore, who was savoring the frosting effects of her lollipop and stood behind him with her ice claws out. "Quite." She sent three deadly sharp icicles speeding towards Shimo. The boy merely waved his hands and the icicles stopped in their tracks and rebounded. They sent Mizore flying and pinned her on her kimono to the wall.

Mizore's eyes widened at his move, and her eyes showed shock as he pointed an ice blade at her throat. "They don't call me the Snow Angel for nothing." The tip was right at her throat. "I could easily kill you with one swipe." His hands returned to normal and he caressed her cheeks. "But why would I want to spill such pretty blood?"

Mizore chuckled at his threats. "If you want to take me, you should have brought flowers." Shimo held his own smirk and took a white flower from his jacket. "One step ahead of you." Mizore paled in fear at the flower in his hands. "Do you like it?" He asked as he held the flower closer to her face. Mizore held her breath so not to take in the scent. "One whiff of the snow white, and you could be all over me." With that, he tossed the flower aside and pulled out the icicles pinning her.

Shimo chuckled and stepped back. "I'm sorry. I just lose sight of myself around someone as pure and beautiful such as you. I don't plan on taking you before our wedding."

"You must be crazy if you think I'm going to marry someone who isn't Tsukune." Mizore rebuttled.

Shimo sighed. "Tch. I don't know why you waste your time, trying to get the attention of a boy who has already taken the virginity of two girls."

Mizore growled. "How long have you been spying on us?"

Shimo shook his head. "I merely heard your conversation with that worthless maggot, and took you before you made a mistake."

"Who gives you the right to call Tsukune worthless?" Mizore said in annoyance.

"Besides, your friend is as good as dead." His hand intercepted Mizore's ice blade as she attempted to slice him. "What did you to Tsukune?!" She yelled.

"I simply stabbed him. I had to throw away perfectly new boots after bashing his face under my boot." Shimo smirked and released the horror stricken Mizore's hand. "I think you should carry the baby of another Snow man, who realizes what you're going through. Besides, you wouldn't want to give up on making a baby would you?" He smirked knowing he had hit a weak spot.

Mizore looked down and simply nodded.

"Once mother makes this world pure, we can continue repopulating our dying race." Shimo told him.

"What do you mean?" Mizore asked.

Shimo chuckled at her. "I talked to mother, and she said to spare every snow person in the world. This way we can raise a child in a perfect world."

"What is the definition of "pure" to you?" Mizore suddenly asked. Shimo looked at her with surprise in his eyes.

"Why does your family wat a pure, clean world? What does that even mean to you?" She asked.

"Violence, death, chaos. That's all there is in this life. Nothing but people giving in to temptations and desires. And all that leads to nothing but chaos. In this world there is only the pure, and innocent. And then there are the impure, utter filth, who deserve to die in order to atone. Lots of people wish for world peace." He spread out his arms. "And the Konime's will make that dream a reality." He chuckled to himself.

"What about Kiria?" Mizore asked him. "Is she going to exist in this "perfect world" you dream about."

"Kiria has been a good pawn in our plans. It's a shame she has to die, but she's done her part."

"What do you mean?" Mizore asked swith a shocked expression.

Shimo smirked at her cluelessness. "Don't you find it strange, that the Demon found Kiria, "coincidentally" lying in the woods? And that she just happened to be the daughter of the Angel?"

Mizore pondered for a second and figured it all out. "You were behind all this the entire time? Kiria and Kurai meeting? Having him gain your trust? It was all a set up."

Shimo merely nodded at her deduction.

"That means Kiria's been lying this whole time." Mizore said.

"No, she had no clue she was being used. That's what made all this perfect." Shimo held his cheeks and said in a mock girl voice. "Oh, I'm an innocent young girl and fell in love with trash. I had no clue I was being used to lure him to his death." His voice returned to normal. "And the Hell Spawn had no clue she's been with us the whole time." Shimo snickered. "I can't wait to see the look on his face before he dies at the hands of mother."

"Oh my god!" Mizore suddenly said as she looked out the window, which was giving off a faint glow.

Shimo approached her. "What is it?" He looked down at what was now a flame riddled village. "What the hell?" He looked closer and saw a red scaled dragon blowing flames in all directions. A lone girl rode atop of its shoulder.

He looked up and saw three more figures with Angel wings on their backs surveying the scenery. He recognized one by the guitar in their hands. Another with the trademark rapier, and the other one wearing a flowing dress. "What are they doing!" He yelled as one of the buildings suddenly exploded.

Shimo held a look of grave horror as several screams of women and children alike rang through his ears.

"I got to stop them." He yelled as he ran to the door, momentarily forgetting Mizore was his prisoner. The moment he ran out, Mizore looked out the window one last time and ran outside to escape.

Because of this chapter, in three days time, I will move this story to rated M

So as you can see, I'm trying to get into Lemon writing. These sound better than my last one, and the climax that will lead to the final battle will be upon us soon.

I wasn't originally planning on a RoruxRuby, and GineixKoyomi, after about an hour of writing, my hands just work on their own. And in the end, I come up with this.

I was unaware that there was a zombie in Rosario Vampire ll because I haven't really read through the whole manga.

Alright, next time, with the Fallen Angels
