Authors note: Okay folks, here we are at the second chapter. I hope you enjoy it as much if not more than the last. Now in the last chapter someone left a comment asking if I would be giving Sora Tsukune's harem. The answer is that he will NOT be getting Tsukune's or anyone's harem. This fanfiction will be more about the action and the story, than romance. And now with all that out of the way, let's begin.
"Well, well, well, cheating on Tsukune I see." A small feminine voice said. Sora and Moka whipped their heads around to see the source of this voice, and directly above Moka they found a young girl with purple hair, pale skin, purpley blue eyes that didn't seem to have pupils and the stick of a lollipop hanging out of her mouth poking her head out from an opening in the ceiling. "What are y-" Moka started. But she was cut off when said mystery girl dropped from her spot in the ceiling and landed her feet firmly upon the pinkette's face. The mystery girl then leapt off of Moka into a tight backflip knocking the pinkette on her backside and landed at Sora's feet with a muffled thud. As the girl landed Sora saw a flash of something light blue along her waistline but it disappeared before he could make out what it was. Now that she was out of the ceiling Sora got a good look at the girl. Like Moka, this girl also wore a Brown miniskirt but instead of a white button down shirt and green jacket she wore a white sweatshirt with dark blue sleeves, a stretched collar exposing her shoulders and some shoulder straps as well as thigh high socks with light and dark purple stripes, a belt tied to her left leg and finally a necklace with a round gold pendant. "Um… Who are you?" Sora asked with a confused and slightly raspy voice. "Me?…" The girl said in a slightly monotone voice as she turned to face Sora "my name is-"
"Mizore!" Moka exclaimed springing to her feet. "What she said." Mizore stated pointing towards the pinkette. "Nice to meet you Mizore. I'm Sora." Sora said. "Likewise." Mizore responded with a smile. "Mizore…" Moka growled feeling irritated with how she was being ignored. "What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be at class?" Moka asked still sounding annoyed. Mizore just shrugged. "Homeroom was boring, so I decided to cut class." she said. "And what do I find when I arrive?" Mizore then pulled a digital camera out of the front pouch of her sweatshirt and clicked the button showing a picture of Moka biting into Sora's neck. "You, not only cheating on Tsukune but also taking advantage of a poor helpless amnesiac."
"But I don't have amnesia." Sora said. "But isn't that how the stories usually go?" Mizore asked. (Hey, I'm not that cliché.) "Well if you don't have amnesia, would you mind telling us what you were doing unconscious in the forest?" Mizore asked passing Sora a cold look. "Huh?… Oh, that. It's… Well… It's a pretty long story." Sora said scratching his cheek with embarrassment. "Sounds familiar." Mizore said a bit dryly. "We have time." Moka who was back to her nice polite self said. "Well, it's like this…"
And so Sora told the girls his story. The reason he was sent here, the Mark of Mastery, the Heartless even the hooded figures and the armored stranger. "… And the next thing I know, I'm here." Sora finished. Mizore hopped off the bed and gave a big stretch. "That was a long story." Mizore said as she finished her stretch. "That would explain the marks on your neck when we found you." Moka said. "Sure those aren't your bite marks?" Mizore grinned. Moka averted her eyes as her face turned beet red. "So these 'Heartless' they're bad news?" Mizore asked. "Very bad news." Sora stated. "So do you have any idea what's coming or how to stop it?" Moka asked with her cheeks still pink. "No idea. But I have a gut feeling that those guys in the cloaks are somehow involved. Maybe they're a part of Organization XIII."
"What's Organization XIII?" Moka asked. "That's a story for another time." Sora responded. "What makes you think it was O-XIII?" Mizore inquired crossing her arms. "Well they're the only people I can think of that dress like that. And it wouldn't be the first time I've run into them." Sora said. The girls wanted to question Sora further but they were interrupted when they heard the door slide open. "Hey Moka, how's the kid doing?" Everyone turned to the door to see a curvy girl with light blue hair tied into a ponytail with a purple hair band that had a little yellow star on each side. She wore a white button down dress shirt with a pale yellow vest, a red bow tie, the same brown skirt the others wore, white leg warmers and plain black shoes. "Kurumu, hey," Moka said as the new girl walked in. "He's awake, and doing well. All things considered."
"That's good to hear." A new voice sounded. A teenage boy then walked through the door. He was a fairly tall boy with messy black hair and brown eyes. Like Moka, he wore a green jacket and button down dress shirt but had a pair of khaki pants and brown shoes. "He's awake? Does he have amnesia like those old stories?" A younger higher pitched voice said. (Okay, we better stop this before it becomes a running gag.)
A girl who was noticeably younger than the others entered the room. She wore a black witch hat that had a small button with a five-point star on the side. She also wore a pink sleeveless top under a purplish brown corset and a matching colored cape, as well as brown shoes, pale yellow thigh high socks and the same skirt as the others. "Why does everyone think I have amnesia?" Sora asked more to himself than anyone else. "Tsukune, Yukari, good to see you," Moka said while everyone gathered around Sora. "Nice to meet you cutie. My name is Kurumu," the curvy girl said extending her hand. "Sora." He responded pleasantly extending his own hand to meet the girl's expecting a shake but instead the girl held his hand and bowed down to kiss it. A light blush flared across Sora face at this unexpected affection. Kurumu smiled mischievously at his reaction. Everyone else gave Kurumu a strange look. "Kurumu!" The youngest of the group exclaimed. "Do you have to flirt with the stranger that we found in the woods?" Kurumu simply smirked.
"I apologize for my friend's shameless behavior." Said the young girl bowing her head. "By the way, my name is Yukari Sendo." She added. "And I'm Tsukune Aono." The boy replied. "Nice to meet you all." Said Sora pleasantly. "Now that we have all the introductions out-of-the-way. What were you doing in the forest?" Kurumu asked switching from her mischievous look to a slightly more serious one. "Oh… Well, it's like this-"
"Long story short, he's here to pass a test by chasing out these weird creatures called 'Heartless' and stopping something bad from happening." Mizore interrupted for the sake of saving time. "Uh… What she said." Responded Sora taken a little by surprise. "That's some test." Tsukune said a bit in awe. "What are Heartless? What do they look like?" Yukari asked. "That's kind of hard to explain. There are bunch of different types, but the most common kind are called 'Shadows.' They're small but resilient. And they hunt in packs." Sora explained. "You see anything like that?"
"Can't say I have." Mizore responded. Sora turned his head to Moka. "I haven't seen anything." she said with a slight shake of her head. He turned to Tsukune. "I don't think I've seen anything like that." Tsukune said. "Me neither." Yukari added. Finally Sora turned to Kurumu who just shrugged. "But I can think of someone who might have seen one of these things." Yukari announced grabbing everyone's attention. "Who is it?" Kurumu asked turning to face Yukari. "It's Ginei of course."
"Well, he is all over campus every day." Moka said thoughtfully. "I'm telling you, if anyone's seen these things it's Gin." Yukari said. "And besides, we can give Sora a tour of the school while we look for him." She added. "If you think it'll help, I say we go for it." Sora said hopping off the bed. "Then let's go!" Yukari exclaimed and excitement as Sora slipped his great big shoes on.
Main school building 2:15 PM
They walked all over the school for what felt like an eternity trying to find that this 'Ginei Morioka' but had no luck. After walking around for an hour and a half trying to find Ginei and showing Sora around they were walking down an outdoor path before one of them finally spoke. "I give up…" Kurumu groaned. "Come on Kurumu, we'll find him eventually. Just hang in there." Moka encouraged the blue haired girl. Sora noticed that Yukari seemed fairly deep in thought. "What are you thinking about?" Sora asked in an attempt to make conversation. "Well… I think I know a way we can actually make Gin come to us." She said thoughtfully. "What!? Why didn't you say so sooner!?" Kurumu exclaimed turning on her heels and facing the girl. "Well, the thought had not really occurred to me until just now. And I don't think you would like it." Yukari explained as she and the others stopped in their tracks before she walked into Kurumu. "At this point I'll try anything to get that little pervert here." Kurumu said with a groan. "All right, but don't say I didn't warn you." And with that said Yukari walked up to Kurumu and Moka who was standing next to her. "Hey Gin!" Yukari shouted. "Yoink!" Yukari had flipped Moka Kurumu's skirts exposing Kurumu's lacy white drawers and Moka's light pink unmentionables, their eyes widened in shock. While Tsukune and Sora were blushing fiercely, from out of nowhere someone came sliding across the floor with an HD camera in hand held up to his face. "Yahoooo!" The man cheered as he took his pictures. "Noooooooo!" The girl screamed as they kicked the mystery man. Kurumu's foot landed square in the guys chest, while Moka's landed painfully on the man's groin with a stomach curling crunch. (I don't think he'll be walking that one off.) Ginei let out a small yelp followed by a wheeze before his body went completely limp. "Gin!" Tsukune shouted in shock and worry. "That's him?!" Sora asked feeling greatly surprised. "Let's get him to the club room, it's closer than the nurse's office!" Yukari exclaimed.
Newspaper club room 2:49 PM
Sora and Tsukune had slumped Ginei over their shoulders and helped him into the club room while Mizore prepared a bag of ice. He was a tall upperclassman with jet black hair and a red hair band. He wore the same uniform as Tsukune except he had traded the tie for a necklace with a silver pendant that looked like a wolf had with a ring in its mouth. Gin was now sitting in a chair next to the table with his arm resting on the table and bearing most of his weight while a large bag of ice was on his crotch. Moka and Kurumu sat across from him on the other side of the table with their heads hung in guilt. Though Kurumu didn't take this position until she knocked Yukari upside the head for flipping her skirt. And now after everyone told Gin the story there was a moment of slightly uneasy silence. "… So have you seen anything that might look like trouble?" Sora asked as he finished his story. "Kid, I'm not going to lie. Someone's always looking to stir up some trouble around here." Gin said. It was more of a grunt than anything. "What about the Heartless, have you seen any of those?" Tsukune asked. Gin gave Tsukune a strained look. "I'm going to need a little more to work with than what you guys gave me. What exactly do they look like?"
"There aren't any descriptions I can think of off the top of my head, but they almost always have this mark somewhere on their body. It looks like a black heart that's red around the edges and there's a thorny X in the middle. You see anything like that around?" Sora explained. "If there is something like that on campus I haven't seen it." Gin answered. "But once I'm good enough to get back in action, I'll keep an eye out." He said managing a smile at the end. "Thanks anyway Gin." Sora said while hanging his head in defeat. "Well this has been an impressive waste of time," Mizore said irritably. "I hate to be the one to say it, but at this point I think all we can do now is wait for something to happen." Yukari said while crossing her arms. In perfect unison everyone in that room heaved a heavy sigh that was closely followed by complete silence. But just then something happened. A bloodcurdling scream ripped through the air before everyone jumped at the sudden noise. It was a scream of fear and horror from a young girl. "What the hell was that!?" Kurumu exclaimed springing to her feet. "I don't know. Maybe we should–" Tsukune started before he heard the sound of the door open. He turned and saw Sora rushing out the door. "Hey Sora– Wait!" Tsukune called after him before he gave chase. "Hang on guys! I'll come wi–" Gin started before he was cut off by a crunching sound and mindnumbing pain. He then placed his hands over his crotch and face planted onto the ground with his rear in the air. Gin turned his head and saw the others taking off after the boys. "Go on ahead guys," he grunted grabbing the bag of ice which had fallen, back to its place. "I'll just rest here for a while."
