Moka helped Kokoa wash and they joined the others already in the bath. Tsukune and Akasha took a little longer and followed. Kokoa sank her body beneath the water and looked around. A short haired woman came and sat on the ledge next to her.

"I'm Sora" she pulled the shocked Kokoa onto her lap and hugged her. Kokoa squirmed until she was facing away from Tsukune "Ah" Sora whispered "I'm sorry I didn't realise you were shy"

"I'm not really but"

"Tsukune's not going to ogle you or do anything you don't like" Sora settled her in her lap and moved them both down in the water "better" Kokoa nodded unsure at the woman's holding her still. "Silly I'm your mother as well"

"As well, what are you then"

Sora swivelled them round to face the others "Mother Kurumu is a succubus, mother Mizore is a Yuki Onna, mothers Akasha and Moka you know are Vampires and I'm a Zenko. Your sibling Yukari is a witch" Sora let her go and sat her back on the ledge "We've been together for a while and I just got used to giving Yukari cuddles. I forgot it might take you a little while to get used to things"

"I am fifteen" Kokoa said stiffly "I'm too old for cuddles"

Sora smiled "I'm two hundred and I'm not too old. Mother Akasha is a lot older than I am and she's not too old either"

"So" Akasha's voice came to the two "Come here Kokoa I want to see if I was right about something" The two went to the others standing in the deeper water "Not there Kokoa come and sit on the ledge here, you need to be sat back for this" Akasha slipped off the ledge and put Kokoa in her place "You've taken blood with a bite haven't you" Kokoa nodded "Have you taken Yoki at the same time?"

"No" Kokoa put her head down as she remembered being told off for asking. The reason was now clear and she was ashamed.

"No matter" Akasha said "You know how to don't you"

"I've seen it and know in theory"

"Good now sit right back against the wall" she saw Kokoa's hesitation "Kokoa Tsukune has seen all of us naked almost every day he's not going to worry. However Tsukune come and stand here with your back to her" Tsukune stood in front of Kokoa facing Akasha "Good now sit back and open your legs so that Tsukune has somewhere to sit whilst you take a little blood" Akasha grinned at Kokoa's face "And as much yoki as you can"

Kokoa sat bolt upright "As much yoki as I can" she asked "I'll drain him" she said finally.

Sitting beside her Moka laughed as did the others "Sweetheart" Akasha said "You won't get anywhere near draining Tsukune but we'll watch to make sure everything's ok and you don't hurt your father ok"

Kokoa nodded eagerly "I'm ready"

"He needs somewhere to sit if you want his back to you" Moka said from her side

Kokoa opened her legs "I'm ready"

Akasha smiled at Tsukune and moved him back to sit "Bite very gently Kokoa, and not deep, you're after yoki not blood" she reminded her "If you take it slowly you can take more, so take it as slowly as you can"

"Yes mother Akasha" Kokoa said as Tsukune lent back against her

.

With Moka whispering in her ear reminding her to bite gently Kokoa gently broke the skin and felt the blood travel up her fangs without the need to suck. Moka watched for a few seconds then whispered again about the yoki. Kokoa came back and started to take a little. As it flowed it was like the blood, it just came into her, at a whispered "Slowly" she restricted the flow and let things happen.

As Kokoa came back she realised that she was holding Tsukune pressed tight against the most intimate parts of her body, upper and lower. Both she realised with a blush were enjoying the close contact. She didn't know what to do and opened her eyes.

"If you want him to turn round you have to ask permission, and you'll not get that until Yukari's not here and Tsukune's happy with the situation" Kurumu said from her side "And we don't allow that in the bath" her face was moved up to look at Kurumu "Aside from feeling horny which happens to all of us, how do you feel?"

"Full" Kokoa said then opened her eyes wider at the sound

"Good" Akasha said from the front and waited until Kokoa looked at her "Can you take some more in a minute when you've compressed that"

Kokoa nodded "I can try" she wasn't sure but didn't want to let go of Tsukune yet, at least until her top has stopped trying to drill two holes into his back. "Oh god he can feel them" she whispered

"Of course he can, it's normal and happens to all of us" Moka said "Let him go for now"

As Tsukune went to move away a little he tapped her leg to remind her that she had wrapped them around him. Then he sat with his back to her on the edge "I feel a little silly now" Kokoa said and turned Tsukune to look at her. "What do you think?"

"Very pretty" he said with a slight blush himself "But we don't usually flaunt them"

"Sorry" Kokoa sat back still exposed

"That's better" Tsukune said and Kokoa noticed that his eyes didn't look and the slight blush was gone. She realised that he could look straight at her and not see a thing unless she wanted him to.

"How can he do that" she whispered to Moka as he went to talk to Sora

"Kokoa" Moka whispered back even quieter "Tsukune can still hear you as can everyone else apart from Yukari. Can't you"

"Yes" came from everyone in the bath

"There's a difference when you want someone to look and when you're just naked. Tsukune will tell you that often it's more stimulating for a man if you have clothes on and a desire than looking at a woman with no clothes on at all. You're not saying look, so he doesn't"

"Are all men like that?"

"No" Kurumu joined in the conversation "Almost every man will 'check out' a woman for the first time of seeing her, that's a given, even Tsukune subconsciously does it. It's part of nature's way of selection for a mate, just as almost every girl will do the same to the boys. It's what happens afterwards that's important. This morning you met Tsukune and did an appraisal, he came up ok; otherwise you'd not have knocked the Chairman's pet off him. Then you re-evaluated after tasting his blood and flashed him. You wanted him to be interested. The fact that you weren't wearing the underwear you expected is your fault, any other boy in the school and the reaction would have been almost instant and you couldn't blame them for the wrong signal. Saying no then would have made your intentions clear, but get you a reputation for mixed signals"

"I didn't do it to anyone else" Kokoa looked affronted

"Not the problem" Kurumu smiled "It was too much too fast, we need to teach you to be subtle" she giggled and looked at Moka "I would stuff Tsukune's face into my boobs every morning. Subtle eh"

Kokoa looked confused "You'll learn, and we'll be there to help" Moka said "Even with all her training Ku still lost it for her destined one" she looked across to her mother "Another?"

"Yes Kokoa should have had time for that to settle, then we need to take her and see the Chairman afterwards"

"Why" Kokoa asked

"Because you need a Rosario" Moka said and moved her hair to her face "Want some more you glutton"

"Yes please" Kokoa was still looking at her hair, then she looked down "There as well?"

"Drapes match the curtains" Moka grinned "Tsukune if you would please your daughter would like a little more"

"If it's not too much" Kokoa was conflicted between wanting more and not hurting Tsukune. It showed in her voice.

"Kokoa I couldn't drain Tsukune of Yoki on my own" Moka said "I don't know about mother but none of the others could now"

"Then I'm a proper vampire" Kokoa asked Akasha

"You always were sweetheart, one in a thousand is born with silver hair, as you're growing your parents should give you yoki to make the final change. It normally takes a number of sessions before the hair starts to change. You've changed totally with one good session, Issa took years to change"

"You remember" Kokoa looked at her

"Oh yes I remember, his parents asked for help" she shook her head at the expressions "Not me I didn't like him even then" she indicated the ledge "Sit back down then"

oOoOo

Kokoa woke to slight touch on her cheek; she was lying between Mother Akasha and Tsukune. Akasha was stroking her cheek and smiling "Awake yet sleepyhead"

"Not yet" she went to burrow back into the blankets

"You don't want breakfast then" Tsukune said

Her eyes flashed open and she looked at him hungrily "Breakfast"

"Over this side" he patted the bed on the other side of him and grinned as she crawled over and waited "Lie back" he moved her to rest on his shoulder and then his wrist came to her mouth.

Both Tsukune and Akasha watched with smiles as she let go of his wrist and turned sleepily back to Tsukune and putting her arm over him went back to sleep.

"What do you think of our daughter husband mine?" Akasha asked quietly

"That she's been abused as well since you left, not physically but mentally"

"Stay with her. I'll tell Moka and the others you'll be late for breakfast. It's a good job the Chairman gave you all the day off to sort things out"

"We needed it" he closed his eyes at the gentle kiss Akasha gave him and slept as well.

.

"Mother where's the others"

"Asleep" Akasha smiled "Kokoa curled back up and went back to sleep cuddling Tsukune"

"Is she alright, that doesn't seem like her at all"

"She was eight when we left, so for the last seven years she's been deprived of even the slightest affection. Kahlua loves her of course but that's not what she needed. She needed and needs a parent's love. For a while she'll be eight nine and then fifteen going on eighteen"

"Ah not in school" Moka said with a little enlightenment

"No there she'll be her upper age, but at home she needs to catch up. Apart from being a little taller, she's the same as she was when we were leaving. We also need to get her to acknowledge her bond as soon as we can"

"Yes, the Chairman's fed up with Rosario's and seals for this family, especially as he's had to make all of them gratis except Kokoa's"

"And he doesn't want to have to repair that if she gets too strong" Akasha smiled "Are you going to Mononoke arcade later?"

"We need lots for Kokoa" Moka sighed

"Then use my card" Akasha handed a card over

"It's Mrs Aono" Moka looked at the name

"I thought we could all use it, but don't go mad, just essentials and a small present for everyone. The number's sixteen fifteen"

"Aren't you coming?"

"I've got to get back for the next two days I'm in the middle of a case. After that I'll be back to the usual routine"

Moka kissed her mother "Don't work too hard" she said as she disappeared.

oOoOo

Kokoa woke up slowly listening to the heart beating against her ear. Smiling she stayed still at the consistent thump until she felt a hand brush her hair. "Come on I know you're awake" Now rumbled through the chest "We need to get up and do some chores before we go shopping"

"Shopping" Kokoa's head came up and looked at Tsukune. She frowned "Father"

"Sound like an old man" Tsukune frowned back with a face "How about daddy like Yukari"

"Papa" grinned Kokoa

"Ok papa at home, but Tsukune at school. Yukari already calls me daddy there, and if you did as well then I'd hate to think of the new things they'd say about me behind my back"

"Do you love me papa"

Tsukune held her "I don't lie Kokoa. I like you at the moment, and soon I'll love you just like the others. When you're with me, don't put on airs be as you need to be. You missed a lot of growing up and having fun, now's the time to have that, when we're alone at home."

"Then I can beat you up now can I"

"If you can"

"Prepare to get beated"

.

Moka and Kurumu stood at the open door and watched as Tsukune and Kokoa wrestled on the bed. Eventually Tsukune let his arm be caught and to mock screams of pain admitted that he was 'beated'

Kurumu went and made mock sympathetic comments to Tsukune as Moka held Kokoa in a hug

"Feel a little better?" she asked

"It was fun" Kokoa's face changed as she thought back

"When you don't think back and compare you're starting to heal" Moka kissed her head

"How long Moka"

"However long it takes. You missed a lot and now can catch up without worrying"

"Papa said the same"

"Papa"

"He didn't like father and I didn't like daddy"

"Go and wash"

"Yes mama"

.

Kokoa walked in a daze, and dressed stood and turned as they brought clothes for her. Normally she ordered from home, she had never really been shopping with girls before. Watching as they went and had a discussion and tried on five supposedly different tops to pick one that actually was different was making her head hurt. She sat with Tsukune as he watched and nodded and gave his opinion when asked.

"You do lie papa" Kokoa said after one series of questions "The three tops were identical"

"Well as to the tops, I couldn't see a difference I admit, but the way that Mizore asked was different. You watch next time and you'll see which one they should pick"

Kokoa watched as Kurumu went through the same process "The second" she said after she'd modelled the third.

"Yes the second" Tsukune agreed "So what else do you need?"

"I don't know" she admitted "I didn't think I needed what they've brought me in the first place"

"How about something just for you" Tsukune asked

"Like what"

"I don't know, you'll have a necklace with your Rosario, they've brought clothes and the essential girly things, in a minute Yukari will take you for school things, pens and case" Tsukune paused "So something not essential or required, something that's caught your eye as we've been shopping" he watched her face "If you haven't seen anything yet, you might later. When you do tell me and we'll get it for you"

"I haven't seen anything yet" Kokoa admitted.

.

It was mid afternoon when they stopped in a quiet square for a snack. Kokoa was amazed, the essentials for her had taken an hour and the following four hours had resulted in a small bag each for the others, and one of those was a monthly standing order for Kurumu's new bras. Kokoa hadn't thought about it but Kurumu explained that a bra might if she were lucky last a month before giving out. She hoped she didn't get that big. As she finished her drink she noticed Moka looking at an old fashioned tailors and then back to Tsukune. Having watched him all day, she knew that he was aware but wouldn't mention it until Moka did. She got up and went to look in the windows of the other shops. She felt more at home here, it was quieter and the shops more refined, niche market, not mass consumption. She smiled as she saw a small cameo broach that looked like Mother Akasha, she didn't notice the two who approached.

"Look it's the Shuzen brat" the voice was beside her "Looking at something were we" Kokoa looked up at a half recognised face "Heard you'd been sent to the school, good" he sneered "You can earn some money" he looked at his companion "Fancy a schoolgirl"

"Why not, as long as she doesn't charge much" the other laughed

"Kokoa" Tsukune's voice broke through her growing anger "Kokoa go and sit down, you don't fight in public"

"But they" Kokoa started

"I know" Tsukune cut her off "Now go and sit with Kurumu"

"Ha she's got a pimp" one said "How much is she"

Tsukune ignored him "Do you know these two"

"They were at Issa's" Kokoa replied

"Vampires then" Tsukune asked. Kokoa nodded

They all felt the presence of magic "What's going on here" A djinn security guard looked at the four

"They insulted my daughter" Tsukune said

"No damage to the shops, whatever they're carrying is yours" he declared

"What about us" one of the vampires asked

"You're in a truth zone" he replied "What did you say to the girl"

"Asked how much for a fuck" the reply was instant and shocked the vampire

"I take it you wish to show these two the errors of their ways" the guard asked Tsukune

"Oh yes" Tsukune growled

"When you're ready step back into the ward, it will allow you to fight without damaging the area" he moved his arm pointing to the ground "The ward is marked by the line"

"Thank you" Tsukune took Kokoa to Moka and took off his jacket and tie then went back "Let's see what you are then" his hands shot out and ripped the crosses from their throats. Both changed into vampires with a red flash. "Weak arrogant trash" Tsukune said and crushed the two Rosario's in his hands dropping the pieces to the ground.

The guard looked at the vampires "Security send an ambulance for two vampires to my location"

.

Kokoa watched as Tsukune took the vampires to pieces, he broke almost every bone in their bodies and then drained the pair of Yoki. When he finished he stood back.

The guard smiled "Finished" he asked. Tsukune nodded "Then let's sort the insult" he stooped over the two and removed their wallets, jewellery and a pouch handing them to Tsukune. Searching the pockets he found a ring with a tag still attached "There will be a reward as well. It seems they were also thieves. May I check the items I've given you please" Tsukune handed everything back. Creating a table and chair he sat down and sorted everything. A small pile of jewellery from the pouch went to one side and the cash and everything else went to the other. "A sizeable reward" he turned "Your name please"

"Aono Tsukune from the Academy"

"Shouldn't you be at school?"

"We were given time off to buy clothes and essentials for my daughter. She was sent here without proper clothing or money" Tsukune realised that the truth spell was still in effect.

The guard waved Kokoa over. Hesitantly she entered the ward and stood by Tsukune, she took his hand when he held it out for her with a frown. "Something personal for you I think Miss, I congratulate you on following the instructions of your father, it is difficult when you're angry. A small reward therefore" he stood again and went to the two vampires ripping the status earrings out "Normally we'd leave such things, but these two have no status now as criminals, and they're a personal repayment for their insult to you" he handed them over with a slight bow and the cash and other bits to Tsukune. "You'd best be on you way" He watched the group as they left the square towards the bus back to the school.

.

The pain of removing his earring had woken one of the vampires "He was lying that's not his daughter it's King Issa's defective brat Kokoa"

The guard shook his head "That was Mr Aono, and Kokoa is his daughter. She has been taken into his household. I don't know who this King Issa is but you will be judged by the Lord of your realm. Lady Bloodriver"

"She's dead and never was the Lord"

"I'm alive and always have been a Hades Lord" she turned to the guard "Why have I been summonsed?"

"These two are from your realm My Lady. They insulted a child and have been revealed to be thieves"

"How did they insult a child?"

"They propositioned her for sex with cash. Her name was Kokoa she has been taken into the household of Mr Aono he administered retribution for the insult"

"Send them to Lord Tenmei the crime was committed here; they are of the vampire Issa's house"

"Then it is simple" metal collars appeared on their necks "They work the mines until the debt for theft is paid to three times the value of the crimes. What else have you stolen?" As the list came from the two it was written down finally they stopped. Calculating he sat at the table and looked up "The total is close to two million dollars American. They will stay in the mines for two hundred thousand days for the theft, the same for the reward to Mr. Aono and the same again for the stores they've stolen from. These goods will be returned. That's one thousand six hundred and fifty years each"

"Agreed" Akasha said with a smile "Perhaps in that time they might learn a little humility. Don't forget to inform Lord Tenmei about the assault to his students" she vanished.

"Ah that makes it a whipping for every day in the mines as well" he looked at the ambulance and shook his head "No sorry, they're for the mines"

oOoOo

"Your family's in the news again" The Chairman said to Sora as she stood waiting for her next class.

"What happened now, I know there was no danger involved"

"Two of Issa's group propositioned Kokoa as they were shopping. After Tsukune finished with them it was discovered they were thieves. Their spree cost two million, they pay it off at three times in the mines at ten dollars a day; please ask that that is included in the paper"

"Threefold return" Sora asked

"One to the realm, one to Tsukune and one to the shops; there are some criminals in the ruins, I was to send the newspaper club there to have a piece about crime and punishment but they've done their own so security can get the practice instead" they watched the class assemble "Your training helps them maintain their disguises"

"Physical exercise does that and means they don't rely on their true forms all the time" she turned "Excuse me but we need to start this run"

"Oh can you also tell Tsukune that in addition the attempted assault on students is a daily whipping for every day there"

"Vampires were they"

"So they can serve their full sentence" there was an eerie chuckle as Sora went to her class.

oOoOo

"Mother Akasha I could have dealt with it" Kokoa was sat with her two days later as she was still both annoyed that Tsukune had interfered and pleased that he had.

"Yes, but then it would have been a brawl. When Tsukune told you to go with your mothers it became a legal dispute" she held the paper from the school "You could have been punished and their crimes would not have been discovered" she smiled at Kokoa "That's not the problem though is it"

"I wasn't expecting help" She admitted "I don't know how I feel about being treated like a child"

"He wasn't treating you like a child. He was treating you like his child. He would have done the same for anyone in this household" she looked at the disbelieving face "Didn't I tell you he protected me once from being knocked over" She pointed to the garden "A rude witch went to barge past me, Tsukune stopped him and then spanked him on the stump there. He acted like a child and got treated like one"

"Who was he, the witch I mean"

"Ulysses if I remember correctly, he was a member of the council"

"Tsukune spanked an adult witch" Kokoa's mouth twitched in a grin

"And Moka has spanked Yukari and both of Kurumu's and Mizore's mothers" she raised her eyes "Behave like a naughty child and they'll spank you as well"

"How did you feel when he did that? You're a powerful vampire it couldn't have hurt you at all"

"That's not the point, he was rude to me and Tsukune will protect his family to the best of his abilities from anything. As to how it made me feel" she shut her eyes and smiled "Loved and cherished that he'd worried and protected me from such an insignificant thing. Nobody had ever done anything like that for me before. It felt wonderful"

.

Kokoa was with Mizore and Tsukune that night, she cuddled up and hugged hard, the nine year old was defiantly back he thought "What's wrong" he hugged her back

"Sorry I've been grumpy with you" Kokoa mumbled

"That's alright, just remember to talk to someone and not let things worry you"

"Nigh papa" she planted a sloppy childish kiss on his lips and cheek then settled down and was almost instantly asleep

"Good night Kokoa"

Mizore, undressing watched the little scene then softly slipped into the bed "Won't be long now"

"Not long" Tsukune agreed

"Then I get you to myself again" She breathed quietly in his ear "Good night" she said with a kiss

Mizore woke in the night with Kokoa attached to her like a limpet, that wouldn't normally have woken her but the sudden crushing strength did "Not so tight Kokoa"

"Sorry mama" the sleeping girl relaxed a little

Mizore went back to sleep with a smile. Kokoa had finally accepted the family bonds.

oOoOo

Tsukune look up from working with Yukari in the garden and shut his eyes to concentrate. The vegetables they planted came up quickly, and Claudius the chairman had requested they try to grow some of the more esoteric herbs and plants. Yukari noticed the pause in the work and said nothing.

"Well" she asked when they were all in the bath prior to dinner that night.

"Mother is coming for a visit tomorrow afternoon" he announced "We'll need to leave the Rosario's with the Chairman"

"Why" asked Kokoa as she touched the Rosario around her neck; having just got it she didn't want to leave it anywhere.

"Because if she talks to you then your Rosario will disappear" Moka said. "I suppose that we'd better tell you what Tsukune is then" Kokoa sat up "Once apon a time" Moka started.

"A fairy tale" Kokoa asked and looked at Tsukune

"Close" Moka said "Now get comfortable" she sat Kokoa on Akasha's lap and waited until she'd stopped moving "There was a human boy who was selected to go to a school for monsters" Kokoa's mouth opened and stayed open as she listened to the story, looking at Akasha to confirm that what she was hearing was the truth as the tale seemed to get taller and taller.

"Mother Akasha, what are you" Kokoa asked when Moka had finished. It was a question Kurumu and Mizore wanted answered as well.

"I am the Hades Lord or Lady as Tsukune calls me. My realm incorporates my castle where Issa lives. Once you've finished school we can live there if you like"

"But what about my father" Kokoa asked

Akasha chose to misunderstand and get Kokoa to recognise and admit the hard truth "Tsukune will live there of course" she watched Kokoa's face "Kokoa he is your only father now. Issa who's seed you are, has rejected you. Do you think those vampires would have made those suggestions about one he considered his daughter. I know you've accepted him as papa but he is your only father as well now"

"I knew but" Kokoa looked at Akasha for comfort

"You hoped that it wasn't true" Akasha held her close "He was never going to empower you to be your true self. You are too independent just like Akua. He couldn't control her, and didn't want another daughter stronger than he is. Ironic really but Issa's children are all very strong where as their parents are both rather weak" she caught Tsukune's chuckle and correctly identified the thought behind it "You're harder than I thought Tsukune. I hadn't thought of that"

Moka looked between the two "What" she asked

Yukari caught on first "What was the purpose of splitting the houses after the war. Breeding for numbers"

"You can't be serious Tsukune" Moka said

"Why not; he hasn't done anything for the race apart from taken. He had a duty after the war and he hasn't fulfilled it. Rather he's gone out of his way not to" he indicated Kokoa "Worse he's actively weakening both the physical and the structure of the society for his own ends." He stopped and looked at Yukari "It seems that my mother's ideas on this are part of the ability with growing things"

"Hardly surprising, she views all life the same. She wants all her children as strong as they can be. I hadn't thought that it would affect your morals though" she grinned at the open mouthed family around her "You all want lots of children don't you" There were nod all round and grins joined Yukari's as they realised what she meant.

"Speaking of which" Said Moka eventually after a lot of thought "Where's Tsurara? I thought she'd be back by now"

Tsukune sighed in resignation at the implications "We got the test results back and they show a big lack in Selenium, zinc, vitamins B6 B12 as well as Folic acid. I would say that the diet has changed radically over the years. There are other things as well that might reduce lifespan which have also reduced dramatically. In short she's not as healthy as she should be or live as long as she should"

"Tsukune have you told her" Kurumu looked at Mizore, she knew the value of the list Tsukune had just reeled off "You have got the supplements haven't you" she asked

"We sent a message on the first day of school" Mizore replied, then looked at Tsukune and frowned "But with Kokoa arriving it slipped my mind that she hadn't replied and yes we have the supplements and Tsukune has planted some other things that are meant to help"

"She should have been here as soon as she heard" Akasha mused "I'll do some asking around and see what's going on" She looked at Kokoa still sat on her lap "That's the difference between Issa and your papa. Tsukune knows he has a duty, and even though he doesn't like some aspects of it he still does his duty with dignity and to the best of his abilities. Unless we submitted to be raped and sexually abused by Issa he wouldn't do his. Tsukune although he's human is a far better vampire than Issa could ever hope to be"

"Raped" Kokoa sat still

"Not me but one of the others in the household" she looked at Moka "Since were telling all" Moka nodded and Akasha looked again at Kokoa "He wanted to use Moka as well, that's why we were leaving"

"But Moka was only ten" Kokoa looked disgusted

"How do you think he's controlling Kahlua" Akasha said gently "Don't worry she'll be here as soon as we can get her and then like you she can grow up to be her true self"

"Why did you allow it" Kokoa was getting angry

"You heard about the power Tsukune's mother gives us to look after our children. Gyokuro had that in respect of both you and Kahlua. I couldn't interfere with either of you unless I wanted to start another war. They have to either renounce you as they did with you or you have to leave on your own. Kahlua will leave on her own when she meets Tsukune"

"How's she going to meet Tsukune I mean papa? She can't come to school"

"No she can't but Tsukune has a natural ability to get where he's not wanted. When he interferes with one of Issa's plans he'll send her to kill him. It's only a matter of time before they meet. Tsurara's absence stinks of something he might do so we'll see shall we. There's no need to borrow trouble, the only danger Tsukune's going to be in with her is if he develops a liking for cross dressing and dolls"

They all laughed at the image, even Kokoa.

oOoOo

"Akasha, a pleasure as always to see you" The Chairman waved away the guards "What can I do for you?"

"A simple question Mikogami, when we split and created the realms who had control of the Yuki Onna"

The Chairman sat back in thought "If I remember because of the entity Jack Frost we left them to rule themselves. If anyone it would be Fuhai as it's in the east as they call it now although it does cross all our boundaries and spheres of influence" he nodded "Why the interest"

"Tsukune and Mizore have made what might be breakthrough in the fertility of the Yuki Onna they contacted Tsurara but she hasn't responded or arrived"

He stood and walked to a large crystal ball, placing his hand on it he waited

"What" the wizened face appeared and looked out of the ball "I need a pipe first with those expressions" Fuhai muttered and disappeared, coming back a minute later lighting a small pipe. Sitting down he took a puff "Shoot"

"What" the Chairman looked confused

"You must read more Mikogami, and something up to date at that" Fuhai said "In terms you understand, what are you discussing"

Akasha smiled, both looked as young as she did in their true forms, but they adopted the form and attitude of irascible old men.

"The Yuki Onna" Mikogami said "Someone might be trying to gain influence there"

As the Chairman had he sat back for a while "I'm too weak at the moment, until I recover from the effects of Alucard and the lack of Akasha I can't do much; since this form required less energy not many have noticed" he looked at Akasha "However there has been an increase in oriental vampires in my realm and sphere"

"Not my doing" Akasha said "There were two here in Mikogami's but they were found to have broken the laws. They answer to Issa and yes I'm getting round to that"

Fuhai sat back again "I suppose it's mostly in my realm and sphere but I'll leave it up to you. If we take the appearance of the vampires into account it would appear that Issa is up to his usual tricks. I often wondered how he survived that war"

"In retrospect maybe he shouldn't have, but some good has come out of it. His punishment has already been decided" Akasha smiled "The drones that look to him will either bend or die"

"As soon as you can please Akasha, he's got an overdeveloped idea of his own importance and he's becoming an irritant we can all do without. Just keep me informed as to what's happening" he waved the connection closed
