Tsukune was looking uncomfortable as he sat with Moka and Kurumu. He didn't ask inane questions he knew they'd never talk to him without a thorough discussion between themselves first. He shut his eyes to think. Finally he opened his eyes "I worry that my feelings will be split"

"That is so sweet" Kurumu said "And so like you" She smiled "Don't worry we know your feelings and your hearts big enough to love others"

He looked at Moka "You think I worry needlessly"

"If you didn't worry I'd say no and dissolve this house when Yukari's of age"

"It does bring home the commitment we're making to each other" he looked out of the window and remembered the rules of the house. "Yes I can do it, but give me a little time to get used to her please"

oOoOo

With the house chores done that weekend, Moka laughingly gave Yukari permission to drag Tsukune off to the kitchen garden. At that Tsukune didn't mind in the slightest. He'd found it rather satisfying to clear the weeds and break the earth. He didn't use tools his hands and yoki were more than enough. Yukari watched as Tsukune poured yoki into the ground and the ground respond. He didn't realise but he was tapping and using part of the power his Mother had given him. Yukari also knew that she felt Tsukune working the soil and was inordinately pleased. She didn't interfere but just watched as her son prepared his first patch of ground; a doting mother watched her son take his first faltering steps. Today Tsukune was planting the first of the vegetables that Moka and Kurumu had requested. Yukari knelt and watched as the seeds went in, there was no way that these weren't going to be the tastiest radishes once they'd grown; she could almost feel them sprout as the soil covered them.

It was dusk when they made their way back to the house for a shower and bath. When they'd undressed he helped her wash and did her hair, then sat whilst she did the same for him. Yukari had put all her provocative comments aside and was now his daughter and happy to be that, it had taken the slight edge off their relationship, they were now comfortable as father and daughter in a way he'd never dreamed possible. Rinsing off they went to the bath where they both sank beneath the water. They were both a little tired and didn't notice the third person as Moka and Kurumu came into the bathhouse and gently got into the bath. Tsukune still lay back with his eyes shut, after a while the water move as someone came near, he smiled at the touch on his arm and allowed himself to be moved with his eyes still shut until he was resting against the warm body. Resting against her breasts with his head on her shoulder he sighed and took a deep breath; then opened his eyes at the two giggles from each side that he recognised as Moka and Kurumu. His nose took in the different scent of the body amidst the overpowering herbs and he chuckled.

"Caught me didn't you"

Yukari was at the other end and heard the giggles and the laughter in Tsukune's voice she too opened her eyes to see a pair of feet just breaking the surface looking further she saw Sora holding him with Moka and Kurumu on each side.

"Sora, what are you doing here" she stopped "Well actually that's obvious" she turned to Moka.

"Sora is a member at the moment"

"Does that mean I get more cuddles?"

"With the proviso that Sora isn't your mother and you ask her"

Yukari moved and lent against Moka "Means I no longer have to try and keep you three under control"

"Hadn't thought of that" Sora said

"Well you can start with Tsukune, he's flaring again" Moka said

"Can I really?"

"As long as you're not explicit"

"Don't need to be" she held Tsukune closer and sat him in her lap "You're filling out nicely" she closed her eyes sighed and slowly drew yoki from him. To her his flavour was rich and earthy like a deep den, safe and warm for her kit. Her quiet whine of appreciation degenerated into a contented warbling reminiscent of nursing.

She opened her eyes when she'd had her fill to see Mika and Kurumu watching intently. "You are so going to show me how to do that" Kurumu said "That was really sensual"

Sora turned to Moka "Thank you Moka" her head moved "and you Kurumu, that was a lovely treat"

Moka smiled "How's your Rosario?"

"Fine"

"Then it can take more?"

"It's due to be replaced on my birthday. That's one of the reasons I'm a guard. The chairman's making it for me. Why?"

"That wasn't a treat that was the first time you performed one of your duties in this house"

"Duties?"

"Kurumu and I have to do that at least three times a day. Kurumu needs a seal already and my Rosario has already been modified but I still need to use the excess otherwise it will damage it. Tsukune's slowly getting it under control but it takes time, and he's still growing"

"Just how strong are you Tsukune?" Sora asked

"Don't know. I've no guide to tell" He replied with his eyes still shut

"When was the last time the seal was off" Moka asked

"This one's never been off since the chairman gave it to me"

"Pop it off so we can see how you're doing"

"Well, Sora's just had some, and I used a lot in the garden" he removed the seal from his wrist and pulled in his yoki until he had it under control.

"Now slowly relax the control until it's free" Moka said

.

The chairman stood and went to his window, he looked towards the house and saw the yoki slowly grow, this wasn't the explosion from the release of a Rosario, this was the controlled release from a seal. After a seal he amended to himself this is what Tsukune's holding back. Moka must have wanted to see his progress. He smiled So do I.

Slowly it grew into a dome covering the house and then reaching the edges of the ward erected by Yukari. Where it touched it grew up the ward, defining it perfectly.

"Can you feel the ward now" Yukari asked

"It's like a dome over everything"

"Good now just touch the dome slightly and think of adding to it a little at a time"

The chairman watched as the ward's strength increased, soon he couldn't see beyond it, even with his window. When it stopped increasing he nodded pleased, he was just about to turn away when he saw the ward flicker as if it were about to change.

"Hundreds of years to design and create and an eleven year old witch does it in a few months with the help of a fledgling human" he just stood watching

"No Yukari it doesn't need to be invisible" Moka said

"Ok, but with Tsukune driving it we can if we need to, then people wouldn't even notice the house" she thought "I think there's a way of making the ward into something like a separate realm"

Moka shook her head with a smile "You'd better talk to the chairman first, that's beyond your books as far as I know" She looked at Sora "What do you think, you're coming of age soon, and you'll soon be able to perceive the truth of things"

"Eleven and she's almost created a copy of the great seal" Sora hugged her

"Ok Tsukune draw it back, leave what you want with the ward"

They watched as Tsukune recovered his Yoki and replaced the seal on his wrist "Well at least I know what to do with the excess after keeping you all happy" he relaxed back into Sora and her arms went around him again "What's the verdict"

"I have no idea" Said Moka "That was a lot of yoki"

oOoOo

As he moved towards the start of the ward he stopped and slowly extended a hand, not quite touching. The guards waited as the Chairman stood eyes closed examining the unseen ward that was pulsing so close to his fingertips. Pulsing, a small chuckle slipped out; with Tsukune's addition the thing was organic. Projecting reassurance his finger moved and touched it. He could now feel it under his finger but there was nothing there. He pushed and watched as the ward hardened exactly measuring the pressure. Touching with his palm he projected the desire to enter. The ward flickered and his hand passed through, he followed.

Stopping when he heard a muffled oath he turned to see one of his guards looking with some irritation at the briefly visible ward.

"You'd better stay there" he saw the flicker "This isn't a normal ward examine it whilst I'm here but do not attempt to test it" he looked at the still slightly belligerent guard "I will feel displeased if my instructions are not carried out" he reminded the guard who looked shamefaced down to the ground. "You are new to the duties are you not?"

"Yes sir"

"Then I will give you a clue since I don't want the disruption of replacing you. This ward protects a vampire house correct" the guard nodded "the head of house is a human of the dawn who is protected by the Mother" again a nod with a small glimmer of he hoped understanding "He empowered the ward and connected it to the earth, it's organic and has his power behind it" he flicked a hand "This is just a fraction" there was a creepy grin "Like a spiders web it has a trigger to his real power" he was watching the guard "In need it will call her. Now tell me what I haven't told you when I get back"

"Yes sir"

.

"The Chairman's here, I've" she frowned "'Told' the ward to let him in" Yukari announced as she laid the table for breakfast.

"Then lay another place please" Moka replied "Tsukune and I will go and greet him" she turned "Kurumu if you would please" she took off the apron and handed it to her.

"Good morning Mr Chairman, you're just in time for breakfast" Moka greeted the Chairman at the front door with Tsukune beside her.

"Breakfast"

"We don't want to upset Yukari's routine now there is one in place"

"Will be very nice, and totally unexpected" the Chairman continued

"Thank you Mr Chairman" Moka led the way back to the kitchen.

.

The Chairman sat back as the table was quickly cleared and the cutlery and crockery washed and put away. Kurumu looked around satisfied and nodded to Moka "Shall we continue upstairs" Moka led the way to a large western style sitting room and indicated a chair for the Chairman. One where he could see everyone arranged in front of him.

"It was perhaps time to come and see how things are progressing, however before we get to Tsukune kun" he looked at Yukari "You were going to change the ward yesterday and stopped"

"I realised that I could change it and suggested it to Mother Moka. She advised me that I did not have the knowledge to be aware of the effects and suggested I talk to you sir"

The Chairman nodded "Tell me about the ward as you saw it yesterday"

"Whilst my father was empowering it I realised that it would accept other spells in addition to the simple ward. If I attached an invisibility spell it would make everything the ward encompassed invisible. I then realised that it had also gained attributes in father from his mother. I wondered that it might be hidden in the earth since there was now an affinity with the ward and the soil. Then it occurred to me that it could be a separate realm of its own"

"Now today what do you think has changed?"

"I didn't even consider it until you touched it. I realised that you were there and went to amend the spell to allow you access. I'm sorry I forgot to include you in the first place"

"You shouldn't have included me, I'm not a member of the house"

"Yes sir"

"Now to continue; you went to amend"

Yukari looked down "When I touched the ward I realised that it had changed beyond anything I'd seen. I could almost feel your hand and the slight pressure, there was also a feeling that you meant no harm" she looked up "Sir it asked me, it seems to be sentient, it asked me if it should let you in" her voice had dropped

"Sendou Yukari this is a school, I will not answer your question now use that more than adequate brain and tell me what you think. This is your ward and you have a connection to it"

"Yes Sir" Yukari paused "Perhaps not sentient or even savant, more like an interactive computer programme however it's organic" she paused and thought for some time. Nobody interrupted her "When father used his yoki to strengthen the ward because of his connections to nature they transpose on what he does. We'd been working in the garden and at the time very attuned to his affinities. It is possible that when he linked the ward to the earth unknowingly he linked it with himself through the earth to his expectations of what a shield should be. In itself it is a sub-conscious reflection and link to my father. It will stop gently and only apply force with an equal reaction" she looked up "If however it senses hostile intent and force is used against it, it will react violently"

"Good" the Chairman smiled "Now I would advise against any further experimentation in respect of a realm however your invisibility is one that we can try in a minute" He looked at Sora "Have you your communications on you"

"Not at the moment, they're in my room"

"If you would please my guards need to be advised of what is about to happen lest they overreact" he didn't miss the slight nod from Moka before Sora rose and left the room. They waited until she returned.

"Who's on control" they heard her ask and saw her nod. "Ok who is on guard with the Chairman at the moment" at the reply they saw her shoulders sag "Let me listen in, I want to hear his reply and tone. Ok now tell the guard that their perception of the Chairman's current location will change they are to hold there until he returns" she smiled at the comment "Yes we're making the ward invisible" as she listened her eyes closed and her jaw tightened, her eyes opened and she growled "If he does that he's likely to die. I'm going out there and later he's getting a public lesson on following orders, he'll be off the sheets for at least a week when I'm through with him. I want a replacement and two to escort him back to the cells. I'll be there in a minute, order him back to the office and order the others to hold him if he refuses and makes a move towards the ward, otherwise they're just to observe." She looked at Moka "May I ask for Tsukune to come with me. If as Yukari has said the ward reacts sub-consciously then he needs to see what's going on to know that there's no danger"

Moka smiled "If you would please Tsukune"

Tsukune walked with Sora until they saw the guards. One was glaring at the ward although he stood back a little from it. The other guards were watching him intently. When Sora came into view his expression changed to arrogance until he saw Tsukune walking beside her, then it turned to anger.

"What's he doing here?"

"He's the Head of House and he's here to make sure you don't kill yourself"

"What this" he slapped at the ward "It's nothing watch" he raised a hand

"Down" shouted Sora and the other guards dropped. The spell hit the ward and a rainbow display rippled across the previously unseen shield. Then the rainbow coalesced and the spell was returned to explode at the guards' feet sending him flying over the prone guards to stop against a tree.

"I should have remembered that you'll always give a warning won't you" she smiled at him her voice and smile belying the fury in her eyes and emotions raging through her.

He stopped what he's been about to say as Moka appeared beside him her red eyes flashing in anger. The others who'd been standing in the door were now walking towards them.

Sora glanced across to the other guards who now held the one who'd attacked the ward. She fell to a knee "May I apologise for the conduct of the guards"

"You may not. You are not to blame, I heard you give concise orders" she growled

"Thank you" Sora stood and her eyes were as angry as Moka's "Would you like me to administer whatever punishment you see fit"

"We'll see" Moka nodded curtly and strode towards the guards. Tsukune and Sora followed.

"You attack my house. Why?" she stood quivering in rage and waiting "If I don't get answers I like I'll rip you into little bits understand"

"As if you could" he muttered "I'm a guard I tested the ward" he raised his head to look at her, arrogance returning to his face as if to say 'so what'

"That protects my child" she hissed quietly. The other guards let him go and moved away.

"What that half-breed witch" he sneered and started to raise a hand towards Yukari that was knocked down instantly by Moka.

Sora shut her eyes and moved Tsukune back "He's dead" she said "Everyone move away" She looked at Moka "Shall I do it"

"No" Moka's voice rumbled in power and anger. She didn't move from where she was standing, her hand shot out grabbing him and slowly she pulled him apart joint by joint. Finally holding him by the throat, his limbs scattered around, her hand ripped his manhood off and stuffed it in his mouth "Who is my daughter" she hissed in reply to his last statement. Then she slowly pushed her hand into his stomach and up to his heart, her fingers around it she pulled it out her arm to the elbow covered in gore. Holding it so he could see what she was doing she crushed it. Dropping the corpse on the ground she walked back to the house followed by Sora and Tsukune.

As she passed the Chairman he bowed and left. Stepping beyond the ward he looked at the remaining guards "Get this cleaned up" he strode away as angry as Moka.

Moka walked straight to the bathhouse stripped and showered the blood off. Then even before she'd dried she went to find Yukari and took her to bed, just holding her tight and close until finally she calmed enough to sleep, still holding Yukari her body wrapped around her.

Sat in his office the Chairman picked up the phone and called Yukari's parents and Moka's mother telling them that both were safe and hadn't been harmed and asking that they come tomorrow. As he put the phone down he rested his elbows on the desk and looked at the guards "When Sora returns there will be a meeting, until then leave and call me when she arrives"

Moka awoke with her family all lying with her, slowly, reluctantly she let go of Yukari.

"I'm alright mama" she kissed Moka "But I need to go to the toilet" she whispered in her ear. It was enough for Moka to finally let her go.

oOoOo

Akasha appeared in the council hall of the Wendigo clan and indicated towards the gong, it boomed at her gesture. There was a shuffling and whispering, slowly the hall was filling. "Only some woman" said one and he turned to leave. Akasha gestured again and the gong boomed continuously getting louder with each note, it was being struck with the man who'd made the comment. The now packed hall watched until the man fell to the ground, his shattered body slowly healing.

"Stay there" Growled the leader He turned "My apologies for his rudeness my Lady" he bowed "How can we be of service?"

"Belthan, you had one from this clan that approached Lord Tenmei as a guard"

"We did" he was shocked "I didn't know, I only need to approve those who leave the realms for the human world"

"I know"

"My apologies again" he turned to the general council "Who"

"Zelthar my son" the man by the gong said

"Oh gods" the leader collapsed into his chair "What did he do" he looked at Akasha

"Attacked the ward of a vampire household with magic" Akasha replied

He stared open mouthed, disbelieving what he had just heard. After two full minutes "Attacked the wards of a vampire household" he asked and watched her face. He knew she didn't joke and never interfered in the running of any race far less a clan unless it impacted elsewhere. Looking into her eyes he knew there was worse to come.

"Yes" Akasha's voice was flat

"Hold Zalthar and fetch the family, every individual in his house" he told the guards, thankful that the council guards were always from the other clans.

Belthan turned to Akasha after he watched the family assemble. "Will you please tell us what happened Lady Bloodriver"

"He was ordered back to the guard's office by the guards' commander, an order he disobeyed. When she approached with the head of house he used magic to try and break the ward"

"Head of house" Belthan closed his eyes "It can't get worse please" he muttered "He wasn't harmed I hope" he asked in a more normal voice

"No he was behind the ward, and such magic would be unlikely to have any serious effect on him"

"Thank god. What is required in reparations?"

"I haven't finished yet Belthan" Akasha said gently "When asked why he attacked her house by the mistress of the house he said he was testing the ward; his reply was arrogant. When told that the ward protected her child he expressed contempt for her child and raised his hand in her direction"

At the last be blanched "What could it have cost us" he asked in a whisper heard by all.

"If the head of house had been hurt this clan would already cease to exist. If his daughter had been hurt" She looked at the rest of the council "The only Wendigo alive would be those who live in isolation because they reject their birth. There would be no one to answer any gong in any hall"

It took a long time before Belthan could speak again "I lay down the clan law and have ordered that we follow the law of this realm my Lady but can not control what is said behind closed doors" He looked at the family "Zalther a member of your house has brought shame and threatened the very existence of us all, this was through your teaching him to treat the law of this realm with contempt. The views of all members of your family are well known, even your youngest has been reprimanded many times at school" he looked across to the guard by the door "Lock it, age order youngest first, liquidate all assets at the treasury for full value and send it to Lady Akasha to forward as a first payment"

"What about Zelthar" a guard asked

"He's long dead" Belthan replied without looking at Akasha.

oOoOo

Sora walked into the office "Mr Chairman, you wanted to see me"

"First how is Aono Moka"

"She washed and slept holding Yukari. She has recovered her composure somewhat, however she still won't let Yukari more than a few paces from her but is slowly getting better. Kurumu is much the same. Tsukune appears the most relaxed but he is using his abilities to keep track of her at all times when she's out of his sight"

"Good, please keep your family secure. I still need to talk to both Yukari and Tsukune. However before you return, the proposal you put forwards in respect of reading true attitudes will be implemented straight away. All are free to refuse and leave"

"When you say straight away"

"She's in the interview room, the guard should be assembled in the training room"

"I'll go first and then get the rest done"

"After return home and stay there until the family are ready to return to school; Yukari's birth parents and Bloodriver Akasha will be coming tomorrow"

oOoOo

Even though she was meeting her mother and father Moka and Kurumu sat holding Tsukune in the sitting room. Tsukune kept both quiet and somewhat relaxed.

"I'm being silly" Moka asked finally

"No, a little over protective, but things will return to normal don't worry" he hugged them both "She was in no real danger but a potential threat has been removed, so she's safer now than last week"

"Doesn't feel like that" Kurumu remarked

"Of course not but we must relax and not let our worry make her unhappy, she's never really out of sight"

"We" Moka asked

"I've been keeping tabs on her" Tsukune admitted "Silly really Mother is always with her she'll never let serious harm come to her"

"That's true" she looked around and noticed the small spiral on the back of the sofa where they sat "It's just so hard mother, but I know you'll look after her" she sighed "Time to try and move on" she stood and helped Kurumu up "Would you like some tea mother" She looked across the room at Akasha

"That would be very nice thank you Moka, I'd like to spend some time with Tsukune if I may"

"Certainly mother" she smiled wanly "Come and help please Sora"

"Alone Moka" Akasha asked surprised

"Yes mother for you"

"Thank you"

Tsukune looked at Akasha once the others were gone "How do I address you, I recognise your yoki" he smiled "You threw enough at me"

"Formally you may call me Lady Akasha, here and alone just Akasha"

"Then Akasha would you mind if we walk, I feel the need for some fresh air" he rose and offered his arm

"That would be nice, a little gentle walk so that you can show me where Mikogami has placed you"

oOoOo

They walked and talked quietly, Moka gave the pair the occasional look but trusted Tsukune implicitly and her mother as much as she dare.

"What am I to do with you Tsukune" Akasha asked as they talked about the future in general terms.

"As a Hades Lady, that is up to you. I don't know the imperatives that drive you"

"A good answer; and as Moka's mother, and yours"

"Anything you wish" He paused for effect "As long as it didn't cause conflict between a mother and daughter"

She walked a few steps before his words finally reached her. It had been, she thought, never since anyone flirted with her. Even the strongest and certainly not the arrogant Issa, Moka's stepfather had ever done so. She let go of his arm and stood looking at him. Tsukune saw that she wasn't angry and winked. She laughed and took his arm again. "You are a flirt Tsukune" she said as she relaxed against him. "Now show me your garden"

"That's very forwards"

"The kitchen garden idiot"

"Ok, if you say so, but no trying to steal kisses I'd not survive trying to explain that to Moka"

She laughed again as their steps slowed.

.

Since she'd heard the first laugh Moka watched the pair intently and Kurumu came and stood by her side. Her arm pulled Moka to her. "They look good don't they?"

"She's my mother"

"And he's Tsukune, being Tsukune. Neither would hurt you, he's being a normal human son-in-law and flirting gently with his attractive mother-in-law so that she can be his mother-in-law and not whatever else she has to be" she watched with Moka

"They do look good though don't they?" Moka said quietly

"I wonder if we'd look that good in similar dresses. They'd have to match our colouring though"

.

It was late afternoon when Yukari and her parents joined the others. They agreed to stay the night at Moka's suggestion and the mothers then decided that they were to prepare the dinner. Moka and Kurumu talked about dresses amongst other things as they prepared for school the next day. Yukari took her fathers to the sitting room to get to know each other and as they prepared the dinner the mothers talked about daughters.

oOoOo

"Good morning Mikogami" Akasha said cheerfully as she walked into the office.

He raised his head from the paperwork there, not surprised that she had just walked in, even the most stupid of his guards knew better than to try and stop her. He hoped, after what happened with Moka he wasn't as sure, he'd check with Sora later. "You're too bright Akasha, have you come to tell me what they want"

"Don't you know Mikogami" she sat smiling at him

"I'm not in the mood today Akasha"

"They don't want anything" she relented "They in no way hold you responsible for the actions of that thing"

He sat back up "Tsukune"

"Yes, we talked yesterday" She smiled then continued "He was a little shocked and seemed to think that it would be outdated. He compared it to the Edo period and wondered if perhaps the realms were too set in their ways and shouldn't come into the present. Although he acknowledges there needs to be some differences" she raised her eyebrows in query

"First Yukari almost creates a copy of the great seal in a few months from reading a text book. Then Tsukune casually throws out my ideas for the realms"

"It's not a difficult plan to see, remember Tsukune is a human and Moka has spent most of her formative years with humans" Akasha drew a deep breath "Although she didn't enjoy the experience at the time, she now understands the necessity"

"I didn't expect things to progress so quickly"

"No in that I'll admit you were inordinately lucky" she sat back thoughtfully "Tsukune was interested in the formation of the realms and how they interact with Earth" she looked up "I told him I couldn't explain everything, but gave him the general outline and told him to think on it"

"I'm not sure I'd like where he's going with that thought"

"I wouldn't worry, he'll not do anything to harm anyone, he's looking for answers on his place at the moment"

"And where is his place Akasha, we still need to test him"

"How strong is he Mikogami"

"I don't know, we were disturbed before we got to that point"

"Then why don't you continue" realisation struck "Ah you were waiting to see what she wanted" she looked at his nod "Well they're a little worried that you haven't indicated that you wish to continue your discussion with Yukari. They don't want her hurt because of a mistake. All she's doing with the ward is allowing Tsukune to use it as a dump for his excess. It's grown stronger in just one day, why don't you suggest that he help with the Great Seal"

"Yukari"

"Yes she saw the possibility at once. You've a powerhouse of new and innovative ideas there, tap it"

oOoOo

While the incident with the guard wasn't printed in the paper, they were the newspaper club after all; general details were known throughout the school. In the end, Tsukune fed up with the comments went up to one phoney challenger. "Pick two from each year and meet us in front of the school at the end of lessons"

"What all six at the same time"

"If that's the only way you think you'll win, or just the strongest in the school"

It was therefore no surprise that the school was waiting for them as they walked out. At the end of the circle of students was a troll. "Looks like this one's mine" Tsukune looked at the circle "Although there are others by the looks of it for you two" he moved Yukari to Sora and took off his jacked and handed it to her to hold. "What are the odds" he asked Sora as he gave her Yukari's hand

"No one's betting on this"

Tsukune found 'Chopper' Rikishi to be somewhat honourable amidst his overpowering belief that he was the strongest being in creation. He did have a lot of justification in regards to his strength thought Tsukune as he blocked the 'Chop' by the simple expedient of putting his hand up and grabbing it. However he went straight through the asphalt feet first so that he was standing in a Tsukune hole.

"I should have fought you on a mountain" Tsukune said as Rikishi lifted his hand to find the 'squashed' Tsukune. He looked at Tsukune holding his hand having suffered no ill effects apart from now needing to wash his clothes then at the hole he'd just pulled Tsukune out of.

"On a mountain I like that" he rumbled through his laughter

"I hope we don't have to pay for damage to the property" Tsukune looked around

"Good point little Tsukune, we will fight the old way and toe the line" His craggy face broke into a grin as Tsukune nodded "Then it's your blow that was my first"

"This will hurt Rikishu and I'll have to jump to hit your jaw"

"No" he moved his body down "Here"

"Mind if we move round a bit, then you'll go through the gate and we won't be liable for any more damage" Rikishu rumbled again in laughter and moved.

.

Tsukune turned back to see Moka and Kurumu finish Keito and Deshiko Deshi, two members of the now defunct Public Safety Commission. Moka appeared a little aggrieved that Kurumu had cut the web that Keito had spat at her, and Kurumu was explaining that they didn't need to have to wash her jacket as well as Tsukune's clothes.

At the window the Chairman and Akasha were laughing as the family made their way home, Yukari having healed Rikishu when they came to him.

"I don't think I've ever seen a more polite fight in all my time as headmaster here"

"Well a test of strength is irrelevant Tsukune didn't even remove the seal. The other two"

"Keito and Deshiko Deshi. Both were members of the Public Safety Commission. They didn't believe that Tsukune had beaten Kuyou and were still trying to intimidate other classmates"

"Moka and Kurumu spent more time bickering between themselves than they did on those two"

"Another fact that will have been noticed by the more observant" he nodded "It is well known that Tsukune abhors violence. He was thought to be as weak as when he first arrived. I have a feeling there will be fewer deaths amongst the students for the next two years"

Akasha now serious again sighed "Good for the school, but we, rather you, still need to talk to Yukari and then we need to see Tsukune"

"No time like the present" The grin returned along with his unfettered confidence.
