The chairman's guards were taught to think for themselves. As a child Sora had been instructed on the theoretical link between the witches and vampires, she'd been aware when Yukari was moved of the sudden power available to Moka in case Yukari were threatened. She smiled grimly at the women's lore, always discarded by the males, that there was a connection with vampires and the witches' belief of the mother of all things. In the chairman's chamber she'd been given a demonstration of that link and been shown the wrath that would befall any who did harm to her children. But that link wasn't from Moka, it was from Tsukune, the head of house. It was from her father. Even more frightening to Sora it also included him in its protection. She carried on running in contravention of standing orders and saw the group ahead.
"Lady Moka" she called as she slowed and stopped a respectful distance away. She noticed with a mixture of relief and trepidation that both Tsukune and Yukari were still shocked by what had happened.
"Lady Moka, now that's a laugh. A Lady who consorts with whores of succubus and half-breed witches and who knows what else" Kuyou appeared from around the corner with some of the Public Safety Commission "We're taking you to be examined so we can determine what this thing is" He pointed at Tsukune
"Stand back Kuyou, they have been asked to return to the chairman's chamber. I'm here as guide and guard" Sora moved past the group
"I have decided that they'll be examined. That will happen first, before" Stopped by the point of Sora's sword drawing blood from his neck he moved back
"You'd better remember where you are Kuyou. This is the chairman's realm his passing whim means more than all your sanctimonious rules and regulations" she watched the group in front of her "Twitch you eight legged freak and you're dead. Now leave" Sora watched until they'd gone from her sight. She managed to control her trembling and school her face. The thought of what could have happened she pushed far back into her mind, then she turned "The chairman would like a word please"
oOoOo
When they entered the chamber again there was only the chairman, the guards were conspicuous by the absence. Four chairs were set close together and there were two facing them a few paces away.
"We need to talk to someone" he greeted them. Then as they stood near "Tsukune" he pointed to a central chair "Yukari" the next "Please continues to hold Tsukune's hand" he waited until they'd sat "Moka help Yukari, and Kurumu next to Tsukune" he turned and sat in one of the two chairs. "Sora will stay as your guard" then he indicated the other chair "We need to speak to the Mother Yukari, if necessary another will join us, she's already known to the mother"
"Then it really is her"
"You doubt your own belief" he asked lightly
"No but her presence"
"She's here already, but she needs to talk to Tsukune and he to her. Otherwise things might be misunderstood"
"She wants to talk to me" Tsukune looked to the chairman then Yukari
"Yes to you" the chairman replied caustically "But you need Kurumu to relax you, then teach you so that you have total control over your emotions. In her natural form she talks in and reacts to emotions"
Tsukune felt Yukari's small squeeze of reassurance he drew a breath and looked at Kurumu then smiled "Ready"
She ran her hand through his hair and smiled in return "Just my eyes" she chuckled out quietly.
"Spoilsport"
The little byplay and the hidden meanings behind the words caught her interest and she watched as Kurumu eased the tension in Tsukune. She felt a reduction in his roiling emotions as Kurumu implanted the ability to control them. She moved closer and looked at one of those who had a bond to her child and had given him a gift. Kurumu felt as if she were subject to a minute examination. Then Tsukune was asked a question.
The chairman watched as the seal he'd given Tsukune evaporated, it didn't crack or break, it just ceased to exist along with the chain. He then noticed a Rosario crossing the floor away from them; Moka had also seen what had happened. He looked at Sora and nodded, another Rosario made its way across the floor towards his desk. He drew a breath to control himself and threw the Rosario of Judgement after the others. He noticed with amusement that there was already one placed neatly in the centre of his desk. 'Women' he thought with a silent chuckle.
Tsukune was overwhelmed; the pressure the Hades Lords had subjected him to was inconsequential next to this. She felt his hurt and gave him the strength to overcome it. Felt his thanks and relief, interest in her and love for the others. She asked and he showed her his life, felt her anger and calmed her, projecting that this was necessary to grow. "All things endure hardship it allows them to reach their full potential" he unknowingly said out loud "It helps us to be stronger" She felt his thanks again for the strength she'd given him as a result of his pain, now a memory. She accepted the example and promised to visit, feeling his unconditional acceptance of her she glowed. She looked at the others bonded to him and lightly touched them. A final 'kiss' to her child she left reminding him that she'd come if he needed, as well as when he didn't she left touching the two other women in the room in thanks.
Tsukune slumped a little then lightly squeezed Yukari's hand and opened his eyes "Mother has gone, but she will visit" he said then looked shocked at the rumble that had left his mouth.
The chairman looked at Sora and indicated the Rosario's on the floor "That's a relief" he said "She understands that skinned knees are normal?"
"Yes" Tsukune replied "From what Yukari told us my bond to her is the same as others, but she is also bonded to me and will allow me to overcome my own trials"
Sora, now sealed again, handed the Rosario of Judgement to the chairman then the other Rosario to Moka. The chairman clipped his Rosario on and felt secure enough in his preferred form to move. He stood and went to the window "Well we'll know when she comes to visit at least" he looked at the now tall grass and blooming flowers. Turning back to the room he looked at Tsukune "Can you control that or do you need another seal?"
"I'll try" Tsukune's face became a picture of concentration as he started to compress the yoki. Slowly it reduced in density and finally disappeared altogether. "How's that" Tsukune asked his voice again normal
"The seal we are making will confine the edges that show and relieve the pressure on you slightly. But the more you can control the better it is for all concerned" He went to a shelf and opened a box withdrawing another chain and seal. "For now use this" he handed it to Tsukune. Tsukune looked at his wrist then took in that it was empty "Your mother's aura reduced it to it's component atoms, if you feel her coming for a visit please remove your seal and tell others. They don't need the expense of replacing their Rosario's"
Moka was conflicted she knew Tsukune was fine and also that he was again stronger but she was a little worried about him. She could also feel that familiar yoki and realised that it was her mother. She was here in the same room. She looked around at the corners and then her eyes found the curtain. She started forwards her eyes fixed then came to a halt as a figure came out and crossed to the desk. Picking up the Rosario that lay in the centre it turned to her.
"Not yet darling but soon. Have patience for a little longer, help your husband and wife to grow then we'll meet" The figure smiled "I love you" and vanished.
Moka seemed to feel the strength leave her she would have fallen if Tsukune's arms hadn't come round her holding her tightly. "Seems that today's the day we meet our mothers, then they leave us" he felt her stiffen in her anger at the trite remark "They are still there watching both of us right at this moment; they love us but now is not the time. It's hard I know but bear with it, it's hard for them as well"
Moka relaxed against him "Thank you" her hands covered his and her head rested against his shoulder
When they'd again left the chairman looked at Sora "She will be protected, it will be discrete so they won't notice" she paused "Kuyou wants to examine Tsukune to see what he is"
"I had thought that giving that boy the responsibility of interacting with all races would allow him to grow. All it did was reinforced his egotism and supercilious nature. He's retarded his own development. He'll be left alive as long as he doesn't attempt harm on Yukari. His father was hoping that he'd grow out of it, but it now appears that Kuyou has chosen to have it beaten out of himself; Hey ho his decision." The face within the cowl grinned "Well done today Sora"
oOoOo
Far from the school the total population of the witches enclave stopped still and drew a breath, then released it as they realised what they'd felt wasn't fear or anger just reassurance. They relaxed and carried on for two steps before stopping again then rushing to the council chambers as what was shown to them truly registered.
Standing in the area before the council were Yukari's parents, they patiently waited as the council arrived. They ignored the filling seats of the auditorium. As the last council member found his seat a zone of silence covered the council and the two. As the questions and answers were given in the silence more than a few of the older witches and wizards started to laugh out loud. They'd taught the pair in front of the council. If most thought Yukari was bad she had nothing on her parents, and they had years more experience. The sight of one member's soundless bellow and red face, and the indifferent wave of the mothers hand as she ignored him had everyone laughing. The leader looked up as it seeped through the zone and shook his head banging the gravel he released the zone.
"This had better be conducted in public before we loose all respect" he turned back to the irate councillor "Your question"
"Just where is your daughter" he asked through gritted teeth and fighting for control
"At the academy, as you'd know if you took your head out of your pretentious writing once in a while" she replied "It was discussed here in this chamber"
"Then how is she a dependent of a vampire" he bellowed again loosing his little control. Yukari's mother again waved her hand and ignored him.
"The question does deserve an answer though" The leader grinned as he asked.
"She obviously met a vampire, who decided she needed to be within her house"
The leader hid his chuckle, he'd been her main tutor "You're not concerned?"
"How could I be, she's been given the blessing of the mother as we all know" she turned to the still irate councillor "You did feel that didn't you?"
"Yes" he replied through grinding teeth "Why else would I be here"
"One wonders"
They all felt the mother again; pleasure, happiness and glowing pride at her child.
"Do you know who that was" the leader asked
"That was her head of house" was the bland reply "If there's nothing more I need to get lunch ready, we both missed breakfast"
"He didn't appear to be a vampire"
"No" she replied absently as she started to walk off pulling her laughing husband with her "He's human" she stopped "Any more inane questions?" as the shocked council remained silent she turned away "How about a ham and mushroom flan dear"
"That sounds good, salad as well I have a bottle of wine that will go nicely"
None but their two main tutors heard the reply. They grinned and shook their heads, knowing they'd been invited to lunch, trying to get answers to what those two considered obvious was like digging a hole in water.
The others looked at the leader "I think I'll have cheese" he said to them standing up and walking to the door. The rest of the council looked at him as if he'd lost his mind.
"What about" one started
"No my minds set on cheese" as he got to the door he turned "It's obvious, think about it. Now I'm for lunch"
Outside the two tutors found their former students waiting for them
"Cheese" she asked "You expect me to make for you separately"
"No my dear, it was only to galvanize them into action. Speaking of which we'd better go" he held up his wand so they could all touch it and they vanished before the first burst through the door.
oOoOo
As Moka walked through the door at the end of another day she looked again at the walls and reviewed her portrait of Tsukune in her mind. She was a good artist, but there was something in his eyes she needed help with. Her decision to paint the three of them to hang in the entrance hall was she knew a reaction to her initial trepidation at setting up a house. However as she worked on them it seemed that it was more now a statement of her pride in her house. Both her's and Kurumu's had come out perfectly it was just Tsukune's eyes that were giving her a problem. She gathered up her sketches and went to find the art mistress for her next session.
Tsukune and Kurumu were sat in one of the downstairs rooms doing additional school work. Yukari had assessed both of them and given them specific work to help their understanding and progress. The private tuition was paying off for both of them, but it still rankled Kurumu; although she got her revenge with teaching Yukari to make sweets. When they'd finished Kurumu and Yukari left to continue the young witch's education on seduction with sugar. Tsukune sat reviewing his latest lessons as he idly flipped through a reference book of monsters. He felt the first tinge of concern in his mind like a whisper, he sat and concentrated on it. Moka danger. He was through the door and out of the house halfway to the school within seconds. He could feel her presence and knew exactly where she was. Down the stairs and through the closed door that he neglected to open in his haste Moka was bound in snakes coming from a woman's head. He reached in and took the Rosario from her throat. Stopping to see if she was alright was in retrospect a mistake. The serpents not holding Moka in a rather provocative pose launched themselves at him, biting him repeatedly.
"Bugger, Ur-chan's going to make me pay for that" he said before he fell stiffly to the ground.
"Yes I am, but later after I've dealt with this narcissistic bitch" she turned "These are stone now" she held up her hands and grinned "don't complain when you get hurt. I'm not allowed to kill but I'll make you wish I were for touching Tsukune" She moved quickly towards the woman, slightly off balance as her right leg was also stone. "I'll let you join my club" she said as she brought the stone foot down. The serpents wrapped around the leg to stop it, but had ignored the momentum created by the sheer weight. It was also a blow to maim not kill. It caught the woman on the top of her temple and continued down the side of her face. The roughness of the partial transition gouged chunks of flesh from the woman's face as it ripped the serpents from her head. As the woman started to fall Moka swung her transformed arm above her head. As she expected the rest of the serpents twisted around it; her red eyes glowed as they were pulled out to join the others on the floor. The stone foot came down again and again on the mass, until finally her shoe killed the last. She turned to help Tsukune up he hugged her then took off his jacket and handed it to the nearest 'Statue' now back in her naked blushing human form, his shirt went to another.
"I'll find things to cover you all before we call anyone" he said as he went outside
"Who is he" the girl asked as she buttoned Tsukune's jacket
"Taken" Moka growled
"I understand and won't make a move, but he is sweet and brave. I was the first and she made me and the others watch each time. He never hesitated until he stopped to make sure you were alright, and then he didn't ogle when we were changing back. He shut his eyes until he could move his head. Don't be too hard on him please"
"Just enough so that he doesn't hesitate next time" Moka smiled at her "I'll help him find some clothes"
"We've something for the paper" Tsukune said as they made their way back to the house.
"Kurumu and I will work on that when we get back. You're washing that jacket and shirt. I'm not having another's scent on you"
"I'll shower as well"
"Thank you" she paused "You hesitated"
He sighed "I wanted to make sure you were alright but it was the wrong thing to do. Remove the threat then check the victims"
"Understand it Tsukune and feel it in your heart. I've seen and felt you die in my arms I never want to go through that again"
"Well I'm getting better, my speed is increasing I don't even remember opening the door"
"You didn't, you obliterated it as you came through it" she sighed "That image and the emotions as you appeared. I'll treasure them for the rest of my life" she walked a little holding his arm "I'll try to forget you screwed the next bit up though"
They laughed "Thank you"
The grass and trees watched them as they made their way home, learning; proud as she watched her child grow.
oOoOo
To be stopped from doing what he considered his job by examining Tsukune Kuyou was in a foul mood. When he read the paper detailing the kidnappings and rescue his mood descended into bitterness. He'd been slighted by an unknown, he didn't even know what race Tsukune was, and he'd never been seen to change form. The chairman's guards might know but they'd never tell him they all considered themselves above the Commission and its sacred works. He read the paper again and frowned. She'd bitten him and he'd instantly turned. Very few monsters were that susceptible to her bites; they became sluggish then slowly changed, but to turn at once. He threw the paper away and went to the prison to talk to her.
"Human" Kuyou bellowed as he stomped back into the headquarters. In his incandescent rage he was loosing control of his body and his face was taking on an almost vulpine mien "Has that idiot Morioka Gin been released from hospital yet"
"He was today"
"Good get him and his little camera. He can take pictures whilst I torture that disgusting thing to death. Then those who helped him, that half-breed, the whore and then 'Lady Moka'" he turned "Get Morioka then Aono. The others will come here when they hear. I'll give them something to read about in that little paper of theirs. Show them what happened when they don't obey my rules"
oOoOo
Gin was making his way to his room, the girls he passed ignored him on the whole, all but one who'd asked if he was feeling better since he'd met a little girl. Well it wouldn't take long for things to change. He'd noticed at least one girl chasing him who wasn't angry, rather the reverse in fact. He smiled perhaps this might be a good day after all. He stopped as he was surrounded by black and gold uniforms his day was looking brighter; he had a lot of energy to use.
"You're to come with us"
"Why"
"One of your club members is a human; you'll witness his death and then print the story. Pictures of everything are required"
Gin laughed "Human impossible" this was actually turning into a good day
"Aono Tsukune is a human as if you didn't know" Gin couldn't help it he fell against the wall as he laughed, when he'd regained a little control he looked at the stern expressions and started again "What's so funny"
"I bit him when I had my disagreement with Moka" he started laughing again "There's no way Tsukune is a human" he said through tears
"Bites don't always change beings" the leader of the Committee was terse
"True most of the time" Gin wiped his eyes "But in the light of a full moon?" he fell against the wall again.
.
Tsukune walked out of the washroom to a group of black and gold suits. "You're coming with us by order of the Public Safety Commissionaire" somehow the girl had managed to insert the capitals.
Tsukune moved his chain up his arm and smiled "Why"
"You're a disgusting human" she hissed
"What I am is known to the chairman, and accepted"
"Kuyou will have the last say about who and what goes on in his school" she turned to the rest "Let's go"
As Tsukune turned to go he caught a slight movement. Then one of the chairman's guards appeared grinned and nodded to him as if to say have fun.
.
Sora heard a click in her earpiece "The public safety commission have arrested Tsukune" there was a rustle of papers "Pot's your's Sora"
Sora smiled "Thanks, I'll get Yukari, she's still in her class" she answered using the throat mike.
"I'll send back-up, but it looks as if they only took Tsukune" there was a pause "They also picked up Morioka Gin, literally, he was laughing so much he couldn't walk" Sora watched as the others of the class left leaving Yukari still looking at a text book. As she walked into the now deserted class Yukari looked up. Sora stood back a little "Can you come with me please Yukari" she asked with a smile
"Trouble"
"Could be" Sora looked at the intelligent eyes regarding her "The Mother has allowed that Tsukune can make his own path to some extent, you are still under her full protection we daren't take a chance with you" she smiled "Tsukune will be alright we're watching him as well"
Yukari packed her books "Where are we going?"
Sora held her hand for the girl to take "The guard's office, you can do your homework there undisturbed. You'll also know what's going on when we do"
"Thank you Sora" Yukari said as she took the proffered hand.
"You know Yukari you've really changed these last couple of weeks"
"Mother Kurumu told me I was trying too hard so as to make the others not notice my age. She told me I was eleven and I should enjoy it like an eleven year old even if I was brighter and more intelligent than the rest here." She looked up at Sora "Eleven's not too old to be holding your hand is it"
"No it's not. We all try to grow up too fast, you're lucky you can enjoy it now"
"You'll tell me if I'm being too childish, it's so hard at times"
"It's called growing up. How do you know I'm near?"
"Mother told me"
"Mother Moka or mother Kurumu"
"No Mother, she likes you"
"You don't know how relieved I am to hear you say that" Sora muttered as she remembered that she was holding hands with a live bomb, one that had a very quick fuse.
oOoOo
Kuyou's temper wasn't improved as Gin was carried in especially as Gin took one look at him and collapsed in laughter again. He was carried down to one of the cells. It deteriorated further as Tsukune walked in then ignored his questions, rather shaking his head in annoyance as Kuyou shouted at him
"Will you be quiet I'm having a conversation here" Tsukune snapped at him "It's rude to interrupt"
Kuyou didn't realise but he'd taken three steps back as Tsukune turned to him "Take him to the cells as well, we'll wait"
Gin watched as a seemingly dazed Tsukune walked into the cell. He looked around then sat on the bed next to the wall. Gin watched from the opposite wall as a number of expressions crossed the face and the yoki billowed around him. Finally Tsukune opened his eyes and looked at Gin
"Why did you bite me?"
Gin had to admit that was a very good first question, unfortunately he'd not given it any thought. He blinked at Tsukune and shrugged "Don't know just did, probably in the heat of the moment. It's easy to loose yourself when the full moons out" he grinned "You'll find out soon enough"
Tsukune grinned back "Sorry not a werewolf"
"What are you then, did Moka turn you?"
"She did replace my blood, but I'm not a vampire either"
"There are very few monsters that can resist a werewolf bite on a full moon, even fewer that can resist a vampire replacing their blood" he saw Tsukune grin again "I've never seen you even be rude to anyone are you some kind of Holy monster" he tilted his head "Most I've heard about are female, valkyrie and such. But you can't be because you're quite happy being around Moka and Kurumu. You don't even care about being with me. What are you?"
Tsukune was amused by the different Gin he was seeing, sharp eyed and intense, with very astute perceptions "You won't believe me if I tell you"
"Try me"
"I don't mean you any harm, be assured of that"
Gin snorted "As if you could"
"I'm human" whispered Tsukune in his ear
Gin jumped and hit his head on the low ceiling "Shit that hurt, don't move like that you'll give me a heart attack" he was crouched holding his head with both arms as Tsukune's words sunk in "But" he looked up "I mean" Tsukune raised an eyebrow in query "Oh god" Gin finally muttered
"That's not for general knowledge Gin"
"Tell me something I don't know" said Gin as he stood up
"Ok; I wouldn't try peeping on Kurumu anymore, she'll fetch you one that will put you back in hospital"
"Only if she can catch me" Gin grinned
"Don't you remember pulling away because Moka was changing?"
Gin frowned as he thought about the events on the roof, serious Gin was back "I did didn't I. She's powerful when she changes" he looked at Tsukune "I was still biting?"
"You ripped my neck Gin"
"Sorry" he looked shamefaced "But you're alright now" He asked "We're alright" he asked hopefully
"We are at the moment. Kurumu"
"Oh yes then" his face went white
"I covered her in transition blood in the light of a full moon"
"I am so dead when my father hears about this" he moaned then looked up "How much of an effect"
"The chairman said she absorbed your abilities and can use them without the need for a full moon. She's still a succubus"
"But you"
"Did the same for both you and Moka" Tsukune lifted the sleeve of his jacket
"So you really are" Tsukune nodded in reply "This I have got to see" he started laughing again and this time fell on the bed.
oOoOo
In the offices above Kuyou's mood got blacker as he heard the laughter coming from the cells. His mood brightened later as Moka and Kurumu came into the office. "Bring them down to the hall; we'll soon get Aono's attention."
Sat in the chairs in front of the desk both Moka and Kurumu smiled, the bright light was just too much they laughed.
"Funny is it" Kuyou burst into his full form his temper and reason completely gone. He picked up a glass of water and threw it over Moka "Laugh now bitch"
"You really shouldn't have done that" Kurumu said as she went to Moka and picked her up
"Sit down whore I'm not even started yet" he sent a jet of flame towards her.
In the cells Gin's mirth had ended and he was sat up watching.
"They're here" Tsukune said and moved from the wall where he'd been leaning. Both had unnaturally sharp hearing and heard the girls laugh then Kuyou's outburst. Just before Gin heard Moka's scream Tsukune had ripped the door from the wall. The frame bars and bolts twisted like paper and landed against the back. Tsukune wasn't there he'd vanished through the opening, Gin ran after.
Kuyou watched amazed as his flame passed through where Moka and Kurumu had been. She was standing at the side with a still shocked Moka in her arms, her face was angry. Then the door flew passed them both and Tsukune stood there his face contorted with the effort of remaining calm. Wind blew his hair then as his hair settled it flew across to where Kurumu and Moka were standing.
"It's Ok she's just a little damp, it was the suddenness that caught her she's not hurt" Kurumu seemed to be talking to the wind. It settled on Moka drying her clothes instantly then waited by the two girls.
"What did you want Kuyou?" Tsukune's voice was at the moment normal
"Don't question me you disgusting human. I'm going to burn you into little bits" His tails twirled and sent out another jet of flame this time towards Tsukune.
Tsukune held his arms out as if he were a human shying away. It hit him and seared the jacket shirt and skin off his arms. "Want more human or are you going to beg for death" Kuyou jeered
Tsukune stood up "This isn't going to work Moka. I keep forgetting about the dammed seal" His voice rang with his power as he looked at his blackened arm. As he watched it heal pieces of molten silver splashed on the floor. "Are you Ok I can ask this time as we're in no danger?"
"I'm fine Tsukune" She stood as Kurumu put her down "Thank you Mother" she said to the wind that was still there.
Kuyou was changing his form again "Think you can defeat my battle form you insignificant human. Your hidden witch casting healing on you won't save you next time"
"That's a point where's Yukari" Tsukune asked Moka
"Oh she's safe and doing her homework" she looked at her watch "Although it's soon time for dinner"
"We'd better get back then. It's important to have a regular routine"
Gin was doing what Kuyou had wanted, although he had difficulty due to Moka and Tsukune ignoring Kuyou and discussing their domestic situation. The Yako was building up a real head of steam at the two of them.
"What's for dinner tonight Kurumu" Moka asked and Gin almost dropped the camera at Kuyou's face as they included Kurumu in their discussion.
"I'll destroy you" Kuyou roared as his tails spun again, then he yelped as Tsukune, standing behind him twisted the four tails into one.
"I told you before it is rude to interrupt" Tsukune punctuated the statement by using the tails to hurl Kuyou over his head and on to the floor; he kept a firm grip on the tails. Kuyou tried to gain his feet and Tsukune battered him against the nearby wall. "Stay still and be quiet"
Each time Kuyou tried to move or speak Tsukune used either the floor or the wall to make his point. Moka and Kurumu stood and watched. In the silences Gin could hear them discussing dinner. When they'd finished Moka looked up
"Tsukune stop playing we need to get Yukari settled and do our homework time is getting on"
"Ok but first this" Tsukune lifted the semi-conscious Kuyou by his tails "can explain to the chairman why I need another seal and pay for a new shirt and jacket" he looked at Gin and grinned "Enough"
"Oh I should think so for here, I might take a few on the way. He did ask after all"
"Ok let's go" Tsukune indicated the hole where the door had been and followed Moka and Kurumu, dragging Kuyou by his tails. The little wind followed them out and dissipated.
oOoOo
There wasn't a crowd, but there were faces at every window as they walked to the school, Tsukune still dragging Kuyou. Standing in his window the chairman turned to a guard. "You'd better call his father to pick him up. I'm not sure but I think Tsukune has welded his tails together. They should split in a few years" he chuckled in spite of his attempt to keep quiet. "Better get Yukari here as well, she needs to get home"
"I'm sorry chairman, I need a new seal, this thing melted the one you gave me" Tsukune jerked the tails up and Kuyou yelped.
"I.." Kuyou started
Tsukune dropped the tails and held Kuyou by the throat then backhanded him "What have I told you about interrupting conversations" he dropped him "Now sit there and be quiet"
"Jacket and shirt it appears as well" the chairman commented as he went to his desk "This is your new seal" he sighed "Please take more care of it than the others, they do take some time to make" he passed it to Tsukune.
"I understand and I apologise" Tsukune looked at Kuyou "Apologise for causing trouble for the chairman"
"I apologise for the trouble sir" Kuyou mumbled
"Accepted Kuyou, now go with the guard to the hospital, your father will be there soon to see you and take you home to recover"
"Sir" Kuyou stood recovered his human form and staggered after the guard
Once the door had closed the chairman stood with his hands together, shaking slightly. The glow of his eyes was absent finally they appeared "You'd better get on home, you need to get dinner and do your homework" His voice was very controlled
"Yes sir and thank you" Tsukune held his hand for Yukari who took it and they left. "I need to collect my books from the classroom on the way" Tsukune said as the doors closed.
Behind the soundproof doors the chairman was finally able to let his laughter out.
