The vampire in question, Issa, sat on his large chair and listened to the reports. "Where is the report from Tenmei's realm Miyabi?" Miyabi looked at the bored Kahlua standing at his side "Kahlua, go and play with your dolls"
She brightened "Ok" she skipped out
"Well" Issa asked
"The two there were arrested and are now in his mines"
"Why"
"They propositioned a new student, one called Kokoa"
"That wouldn't get them sent to the mines" Issa interrupted
"A djinn security guard arrived and set a truth zone and a boy claimed her as his daughter. The guard allowed him to take insult" he paused "The boy took them apart having taken off and destroyed their Rosario's without changing form. When the guard searched them he found a stolen ring."
"Who is the boy and what are they still doing in the mines?"
"The guard summonsed a girl she told him to take them to Tenmei and not return them here"
"Have we got a description?"
"Very pretty and pink hair"
"Moka, did he summons Moka"
"Unlikely, there was a girl in the group with Kokoa that looked the same. They had left before she arrived"
"That means that Kokoa has met Moka" his face dropped "She's set up a house to claim Kokoa. Find out who that boy is and quickly. Also where they're living, she's coming back here now I know where she is"
"That might not be so easy" he paused "The other girl"
"Akasha, must be that bitch Akasha. Damn I thought she was dead when that thing ate her" his eyes narrowed in thought "The group who was in it"
"We'll find out, as I understand children at school form groups so their names and races should be easy to find"
"So when will they be released" he looked at the Miyabi as he was handed a paper by his assistant.
"In about one thousand seven hundred years"
"What" Issa screamed, then looked as Miyabi ignored him and started to smile "Why are you smiling"
"It would appear that the newspaper club has a group that is identical to the one described. The members are all named and include" he frowned "Aono Kokoa as a new member. As to the length of the sentence it was found that they'd stolen almost two million dollars. Tenmei's law states three times the value at ten dollars a day and whipping every day for the assault on students" Miyabi handed over the paper.
They both turned to look at the whispering assistants standing behind Miyabi, finally one turned "One of the girls in the club is called Shirayuki Mizore, the same family name as that woman in the Yuki Onna village"
"Then the priestess can call her back for a mate, she can invite the club along as well so they can report it" Issa sat back "We control the village and Tenmei's law doesn't apply there. My law applies there" he looked at Miyabi "Get the message sent and take Kahlua to enforce it. She won't kill Moka or Kokoa but make sure her first target is the boy" he looked at the paper he was now holding "Aono Tsukune"
oOoOo
"I sometimes wonder why I have guards in here" the Chairman said as he kept his eyes on the work in front of him. Still reading he waved them out of the room. Picking up his pen he made some annotations on the typed paper. "Yes I know it's hot, blame that husband of yours; he has been replacing parts on the consol of the Great Barrier. The last set have improved the efficiency, until Fuhai can get here and replace some of his Yoki by draining it a little bear with it"
"We do inside the ward at least" Akasha replied with a straight face "Bare with it that is. Seriously though Mizore's living in the freezer at the moment, but she did get an interesting letter; tell me Mikogami was Tsurara a good student"
His head came up "Very good when she wasn't playing with Ageha. I would have liked her in the guards but the priestess called with a mate for her" he took the letter and read it. Slowly he smiled then re-read it shaking his head "Is a problem of controlling the fate of the Yoki Onna. The priestess's heart breaks every time a mate must be found. Since you've not found one at the school, she has accepted one that has asked for you and offers a royal sum for a dowry" he read a little more "Bring your old friends from the newspaper and we can enjoy mother natures bounty" he put the letter down "she's wasted there, she tell us who, how and why along with who to take. I wonder why Ruby and not Yukari"
"Strength perhaps" Akasha asked "Kokoa is requested so it isn't to do with her being his daughter"
"No I think it's age, she points us to the newspaper as the source of their information, a twelve year old will be suspect" he pressed the button on his intercom "Ruby go and get yourself a school uniform" He lifted his finger "Are you going?" Akasha shook her head he pressed again "At once please" then sat back. "Why not"
"Moka would never relinquish the right as I wouldn't in her place. Also you forget the spirit there; he's going to have enough trouble when Tsukune and the others enter the village but at least he'll sense that they're young. If I went it would require negotiations. They'll need information this time"
"As do we, we don't know if it's just the village or the realm"
"The village is the connection to our three realms and the human world. How many others know of the rest of the realm?"
"Very few, and hopefully it will remain the same. If it's the realm then Tsurara must tell them if she knows. First the village and the priestess then she'll make the decision. I'll call the bus driver they can leave this afternoon. How did the visit go?"
"She came as a current anthropomorphic entity. Apparently she stopped using one because of the images" Akasha hid a smile "She's still a little busty but now looks normal if a little ethereal"
"I'm not surprised, those things were hideous" he shook his head "We'd better get on"
oOoOo
Tsukune looked at the white on white landscape that howled outside his hastily erected shield of yoki, apart from Mizore the rest had hurried into the protection it offered.
Mizore smiled "It's not far come on" she led the way up the slight rise, as they topped it Tsukune felt the wind stop and he could see the village spread out in the valley. Village it was a small city with beautiful towering spires of ice.
"Whoa that's awesome" Kurumu whispered
"I wanted you so see it from here, it's a wonderful view" Mizore smiled at them "I hope it was worth getting a little chilly"
.
It was dusk as they ambled into the street where Tsurara lived, she came out to greet them with a grin.
"What a shame, the audiences are concluded for today, and he spent all day waiting for you"
"I hope he was upset" Mizore replied
"Very he was heard cursing at least two corridors away" she frowned "Although there was a woman with him. She was dressed very formally and was wearing a tiara. When he left she was almost crying at some of the things he said"
"He won't upset her enough to make her actually cry" Moka said "Unless he's got a death wish, that sounds like Kahlua"
"Come inside where we can talk" she led the way in "In private with no chance of anyone overhearing us" when they were all gathered "I'll get hot drinks for you"
"I'll help mother" Mizore went with Tsurara into the kitchen.
"So you know the woman Moka, she's evil" Tsurara said after they were sat down "She tortured the priestess"
"She's my sister and she's not evil" Moka held Tsukune "Her father has kept her with the mind of a child, she just does what she's told otherwise she gets punished. When she cries it's because she's going to do something she doesn't want to do"
"How can he punish her, she's so strong"
"Physically yes but mentally she's still about five. And please don't ask"
Tsurara looked at Moka face "His real daughter" both Moka and Kokoa nodded "That's despicable" She shut her eyes "Five" she asked and again they nodded. Tsurara shuddered "What about her mother"
"She must have agreed" Kokoa said quietly "From what Mother Akasha has said that is the only way it could have happened. If she didn't she could easily have stopped it"
"He wants Moka back. I've a number of bugs in place. Moka is to go back Kokoa and the rest of you are irrelevant to him but Tsukune is to be killed. That's why your sister is here; to kill him and make sure everything goes as planned" she drank the ice tea and waited "Why does he want you Moka"
"To bear his children" Moka said tersely "And control my mother"
"Well we can proceed as they expect, Mizore you need to go and collect flowers for the ceremony, and I've dresses for all of you" she smiled at Ruby "I'm glad you're Yukari here, they only know her from the school paper, she's too young to attend the school and they'd be on their guard if they saw her"
"How many are there"
"The leader is Miyabi Fujisaki and apart from your sister there are about a dozen others. They've somehow managed to control the priestess so no one else knows what is happening. If you try anything near her then her guards and everyone else will attack you"
"Then we need to draw them away"
Tsurara held up her hand and touched her ear. They sat and waited as she listened, her face frowned at what she heard and she looked at Mizore.
"Well they don't know about households that's for sure" she said after she'd finished listening "They expect Mizore to take all the girls to pick the flowers and leave Tsukune here" she smiled at Moka "Honestly that's what Miyabi said and no one contradicted him. Then whilst she's there they'll kidnap Mizore and Moka if they can so that you Tsukune will come charging to the rescue. Then they'll use the priestesses' guards to kill or capture you"
"How many"
"There was a discussion on that, since they think you can't remove your Rosario Moka then they thought two should be enough. Miyabi insisted on four. There was a lot of talk about what they were going to do with the rest of you once they'd got Mizore and maybe Moka. That wasn't pleasant in the least"
"I'm going" Growled Tsukune, he looked up "I'm going in the morning, I don't care what I look like nobody threatens my wives and children"
"Then you can be Yukari and Ruby can stay here" Tsurara was impressed at the rage coming from Tsukune and the rest "But don't get too near the flowers, they'll affect you quite badly" there was a smile "They are an aphrodisiac and a powerful one at that"
oOoOo
Tsurara carefully weaved the extension into Tsukune's hair as he sat on the stool in front of her. The others all dressed watched with upturned lips although Kurumu had a thoughtful expression as well. Once Tsurara was finished she sat back and turned Tsukune to face her and started to put make up on him.
"Oh god he looks gorgeous" Kurumu said as Tsukune stood to look at them
"How does it feel Tsukune, can you move" Tsurara asked
"I did Kendo so I'm used to the hakama" He moved the filled bra "This feels odd"
"Be thankful Kokoa had a spare if we'd used one of Kurumu's then it would feel a lot odder that's for sure" Tsurara grinned "Not to upset the house Moka but he does look rather delectable in that" She handed Tsukune a natural Tambo "You need a wand if you're a witch"
Tsukune hefted it and felt the weight before tucking it into his waist "I'm ready"
Kokoa was looking at Tsukune with a slight blush; she turned away and thought of the coming fight. That cleared her mind of thoughts she'd rather not admit to at the moment.
.
There was no one else at the flower fields as Mizore gathered the blossoms, as she picked them she slowly weaved them into a bouquet. Sat watching they clearly heard the approaching vampires and waited until they appeared; they sat silently looking at their abductors as Mizore continued to gather the blooms.
"I fancy the one dressed like a shrine maiden" one turned to his colleagues "Must be the witch Yukari since she's got a wand with her"
"Na big tits for me"
"I want the brat. She'll be nice and tight and it doesn't matter if they die does it"
"No; so that leaves me either Moka or the snow thing. I'll have Moka"
"That's so rude, leaving me out" Mizore said as she continued to look and gather flowers "But since this is my homeland I must give my guests first choice"
The vampires had rushed to grab the girls and now held them. Tsukune took the vampires wrist as he tried to work his hand under his top. "You can have this one Mizore" he snapped the arm "I'll hold him for you until you've finished shall I"
"That would me nice Tsukune, I'm almost finished here"
Tsukune held him by the throat "Stop screaming, it's only a little pain"
"Bastard" he clawed at his Rosario under Tsukune's hand
"Oh you want to take this off" Tsukune's other hand removed the Rosario and crushed it "Happy now" he still easily held the now unsealed vampire.
"Let him go or I'll kill her" the one holding Kokoa said
"Kokoa" Tsukune looked over to the vampire holding her "Enjoy" he smiled.
"Thanks papa" Kokoa reached up and removed her Rosario "What were you going to do to me you worthless piece of shit"
"Language Kokoa" Moka said as both she and Kurumu also took off their Rosario's. She watched as Kokoa transformed Kou into an extremely large, she blinked, dildo "Is that appropriate Kokoa"
"It's what they were going to do to us, it's only poetic justice" Kokoa broke both arms and secured them behind his back then forced him to his knees. In that position he couldn't heal himself as the broken bones were forced away from each other.
"I still feel its more than a little inappropriate, weren't you and Yukari discussing the merits of some of the weapons in that film"
"Oh yes the nagamaki" Kou changed "Lord of the Rings" said Kokoa as the blade flashed and the arms fell to the ground. The vampire started to run and both legs went followed by his head. "That was the film." Kou changed again, "this is the weapon we were talking about from the film, the curve is deeper and the blade heavier." She looked around "Oh nothing to compare it to"
Mizore came out of the field "You can have mine if your father agrees; it's nice to see some independent research. It's such a good idea"
"I think it's only right Moka" Kurumu said nodding "Kokoa has been a good girl recently; she should be able to play when she can"
"Ok" Moka sighed "Don't take too long Kokoa there are three more here"
Kokoa looked at the three remaining vampires "Hurt my mothers would you. That's two each for each weapon to give a comparison" she grinned "Next"
.
"Shouldn't we have cleaned up" Moka asked as they walked back
"No, the Yeti's will soon smell it and mother said it's been a difficult winter for them. They'll tidy everything away for us" Mizore smelt the bouquet "I've been thinking about it, and if you don't mind Tsukune stay dressed like that for our marriage will you please."
.
"Well Kokoa just you to wash and change" Tsurara greeted them "But can you hurry we need to get to the temple in an hour or so"
"No problem, Kou needs a wash as well, but he's using his own water"
"Do I want to know" Tsurara asked as she watched Kokoa go happily to the bath.
"Kokoa finally started doing work on her own, I think she's found a real interest, she seems to have some aptitude in what she does mother" Mizore sighed blissfully "It's my wedding day, Kokoa's happy the Yeti's will behave today and my family will be here to watch. It couldn't get better"
Tsurara smiled at her daughter's distraction and spoke to Moka "I called your mother whilst you were out, she'll pick up the others and be here just after lunchtime"
.
Miyabi frowned as time passed; finally he took to pacing about. Kahlua sat with a doll, gently using a small brush on its hair. She finished and smiled at the still pacing Miyabi. "I just need to get ready" she said brightly and looked in the mirror "Oh no, my hair's a mess"
"Where are they? They should have been back hours ago" he asked when she'd gone.
One listened to his radio "The girls are coming now"
"About time" Miyabi sat heavily
"Ah no, the girls are coming to the ceremony now. There's no one with them"
Miyabi's eyes shot open "Where's the boy"
"Not with them, just the girls and the mother"
"Bring them here. Get back against the walls and don't say anything about either Moka or Kokoa otherwise she'll get upset"
"We know"
"Get Kahlua and the priestess in here as well"
"You see" Tsurara said as the doors locked behind them "People see only what they want or are expecting" her eyes looked at the priestess strapped to a chair in magical bonds blindfolded and gagged. "That is no way to treat any woman let alone a priestess"
"And what are you going to do about it. There are eight vampires here to stop you" he watched as Mizore and the shrine maiden went to the priestess.
Mizore took out the gag and undid the blindfold "You can't marry me in this state"
"Marry you" Miyabi was contemptuous "Who are you getting married to I don't want some frigid child"
"Tsukune of course, that's why my family are coming here" she looked at Kahlua "you must be Kahlua. Shall we wait until you've said hello to Moka and Kokoa"
"Yes please. You won't untie her will you? I'll get punished if you do"
"No I'll wait. My friend will take you and introduce you to my family. I'm Mizore" she kissed her cheek lightly then took her hand and placed it in Tsukune's. Mizore smiled at Tsukune and watched as they walked over to Moka. "Moka and Kokoa you know, Kurumu, Ruby and my mother Tsurara" Mizore said as each was introduced finally Kahlua looked at Tsukune "and the one you're with is my husband Tsukune"
"Tsukune, I'm meant to kill you, why are you dressed like that?" Kahlua looked surprised.
"Well it avoids upsetting you until we've met" he squeezed her hand gently and gave her a little kiss on her cheek "Mother Akasha said you might like to join our family, I'm Kokoa papa now. I can be yours too if you want"
"Can I really" she looked at Moka and Kokoa then back to Tsukune her eyes were filling with tears. "Stay with you and play like we used to"
"Shush Kahlua" Tsukune said "Give me a hug and don't cry, I'm Moka's mate, I suppose that makes me your otouto"
"He's your mate" she looked at Moka as she hugged Tsukune; it was almost too much to take in.
"Yes he's our mate" she frowned "You look peaky Kahlua I'm sure Tsukune will let you have a little drink, as long as you're gentle and don't take too much"
"Can I please?"
"Just a little you can have more when we get back home" Kahlua moved in his arms and lightly bit his offered neck.
"Kill him" shouted Miyabi "Kill him or I'll"
He didn't finish, Tsukune held Kahlua close and sent a blast of Yoki, knocking him back "You'll do nothing to my daughter" he snarled "Threaten her again and I'll kill you"
Deep down the suppressed Kahlua knew that what had happened to her was wrong, she felt Tsukune's arm pull her closer, now protectively around her, his words rang in her ears as his blood flowed into her fangs. She had a blinding epiphany here was her father, her papa. He'd called her his daughter and there was no hesitation she felt it in his blood. She tasted his rage as she was threatened. She stopped taking his blood and held him as tight as she could "Papa" she cried as tears of joy fell from her eyes. Unlike Kokoa there was no hesitation and the rest felt it as the bond to Tsukune became as uncompromising as his was to her and the others.
"Kill them" screamed Miyabi and red yoki bloomed as the vampires removed their Rosario's, "You can't fight unsealed vampires" he gloated.
"Why not" Moka said and they all took off their own "This makes it a little unfair but why should we worry"
Miyabi looked at the unsealed girls and their monstrous auras. He did a double take at the silver haired Kokoa.
"Kokoa try not to get your clothes dirty again, the last set aren't dry yet" Moka said sternly and watched Kou change into a Kanabo.
"Actually Moka if you don't mind I'll deal with these" Mizore said
Stunned at the transformations the vampires stood stock still, then stood in fright as the first was impaled by an ice spear from his bottom to just below his ribcage; he was then lifted off the ground as a cross guard appeared and the spear grew. "In western culture the legend of the vampire starts with Vlad the Impaler" the rest joined their colleague suspended in the air impaled on spears of ice. Tsukune gently held Kahlua's face into his shoulder so that she couldn't see what was happening. The vampires all stopped moving after spikes appeared throughout their bodies and then they slowly froze over.
Miyabi felt every eye apart from the shocked priestess turn to him.
"This one's mine" Moka said "Threatening my sister and daughter, trying to abduct my wife and kill my mate" Again Tsukune held Kahlua's face away.
.
The noise from the doors was deafening as Moka turned back. "I think we all better come under a shield until they can see that the priestess isn't hurt" Tsukune said to Ruby. She nodded automatically in the same shock as the priestess and Tsurara at what they'd seen and set a ward covering them all. "I'll open the doors" Tsukune said as soon as everyone was safe inside.
With the others sealed again, it was the transformed Mizore that stopped the crowds as they poured into the room. Her translucent skin huge aura and claws silenced everyone as she stood next to the dishevelled priestess. Glances at the frozen and bloody vampires suspended in the air gave testament to her power. The priestesses guards quickly formed a barrier and Ruby let the ward drop with a sigh from everyone.
"We did not hurt the priestess, but those who did are now dead" Mizore said into the silence. "When she is recovered from her ordeal and all my family are here I'd like to get married" her claw replaced her Rosario and her hand picked up the bouquet she'd made that morning. "Although not in here if possible" she continued in a normal voice.
"The hall" the priestess said in a strained voice "The hall" her voice was stronger and she stood straight. "We will perform Mizore's marriage ceremony in the hall this afternoon when her family are all here" Her eyes took in the bits of the corpse of Miyabi and she shuddered as she walked out the doors through the parting crowd.
.
Akasha was at first confused as she brought Yukari and Sora to Tsurara's house. Kahlua seemed to be permanently attached to a shrine maiden, it took a few seconds to realise that it was Tsukune.
"Husband mine what are you doing dressed like that?" her lips quivered "And with breasts"
"Tsurara gave us a very convincing demonstration of why we should see what's there and not make assumptions" he replied
"And you've rescued our daughter" Akasha looked at Kahlua who hadn't realised she was there yet, her face was still buried in Tsukune's neck. She went up to her and turned her face towards her "Kahlua darling"
"Mama Akasha" Kahlua launched herself at Akasha and held her tight. "Mama I've got a new papa"
"I know, he's my husband as well. You're my daughter now" she hugged her and cried into her hair.
"Why are you crying mama" Kahlua asked
"Because I'm so happy that you're finally mine and free at last"
oOoOo
Tsukune watched his newest child, his oldest child as she 'slept'. It had been decided that Kahlua should sleep with all of her parents, as Kokoa had. Moka had taken the first and Kahlua had cuddled up close to the two and fallen asleep almost instantly. Sleep was however a relative term, she twitched and flinched, mumbled and screamed silently, her face contorted with pain humiliation and pleading. Tsukune watched in disbelief and shook his head.
"Get Ku" he whispered to the horrified Moka, she nodded and left, returning a few moments later with Kurumu.
"I don't need to come any closer" she said quietly to Moka "If I tried anything it would shut her down completely. All I can suggest is getting her to sleep somewhere different, somewhere where there is a chance that she wont associate sleep with what she's been through" she turned to hug the others who had appeared to the unwelcome summons that their daughter was in trouble. Watching her with Tsukune as he tried to reassure her it was difficult to believe the terror and pain she was broadcasting.
Tsukune picked her up and cradled her to his chest as he stood and walked to the door. "Get blankets, I'm sleeping in the garden on the lawn"
As his foot hit the grass he sensed her presence, the second his other foot landed he knew she was coming and just stood still until she appeared. She looked at the girl still asleep in Tsukune's arms "Mother we need help" Her arms came around the pair and they vanished.
.
Akasha was watching the garden as she idly made breakfast, she saw Tsukune appear again with Kahlua still asleep in his arms. There was something different about him that she couldn't at first identify. Then as he looked around she recognised it; confidence. Tsukune had grown in the night he was away, his eyes caught hers and he smiled. She thought of calling the others but he shook his head and looked at Kahlua, then walked back into the house.
"I need to sleep, he said to the faces that greeted him as he walked in" Looking into his eyes they just nodded and watched him go up the stairs.
"At least she's not terrified of being asleep anymore" Mizore said when they were out of sight.
"Tsukune looked tired though" Kurumu turned and went into the kitchen and the others followed.
"Yukari" Moka said as they finished tidying the breakfast things away "Why don't you go and have a little lie down with your daddy. With Kokoa and Kahlua coming into the family you've missed out on your time with him" she brushed her hair, "I don't know what they did to reassure her but she might still be a child when she wakes up, be a good big sister to her while she's growing up"
.
"How long were we there papa" Kahlua asked as she woke up
"Here time a night"
"And our time, you seem older"
"Two three years, time doesn't mean that much to mother"
"I know what they did now" Kahlua's voice was tight "I won't forgive them"
"I know but you won't let it ruin your life, you have a new one now"
Kahlua thought about things as she held Tsukune "I'm a woman now"
"I know but you have to ask Moka and the other wives"
She snuggled back down "Is that Yukari, she seems younger"
"Yes" Tsukune looked at Yukari as she slept in his other arm "You were still a child when you saw her, now you're a woman you see things in a different way"
"She looks so sweet"
"Your sister"
"Umm, I'll give her a cuddle when I wake up again"
.
At noon Moka and the others went up to Tsukune's room, there they looked at the three on the bed for some time
"Husband mine what have you been doing" Akasha said finally
"Moka I'm asking" Kokoa said in a whisper
"After every one else" Kurumu Sora and Mizore said together
Kahlua stretched languidly next to Tsukune and looked over to the group "Moka, Kokoa" she held out her arms "Come and give me a hug" as the two walked over looking with interest at their sister she smiled "Papa and Mother sorted me out. I'm fine now" as they hugged "Moka I know" Kahlua started
"Get in line" the others said
Yukari yawned and looked at the scene in front of her "I think I'd better go to my own room and study" she grinned "I know I have to wait but daddy looks fantastic now" the others noticed she was cuddling him possessively "How long did it actually take daddy, I know it was only a night here, but there are bits in the very old books that suggest time moves faster when you're with mother"
"Two or three years I think" he gave a little hug "How did you know Yukari?"
"How did I not, you've filled out and got you're full growth, you were also training there" She pouted "Why didn't you take me as well I still have to wait at least five years"
"There's nothing there but a landscape. Mother told me we'd be back in the morning so when I got bored I trained and she showed me things when we weren't with Kahlua"
"I don't remember you not being there?"
"We made you sleep for long stretches of 'time' for a better word. Even mother couldn't heal you all at once. You needed time to heal your mind and there you had it without the problems of living in the real world at the same time" He looked at the family around him.
"How strong are you now Tsukune" Moka asked
"How can I tell I was training with mother?" he grimaced slightly "She'd watched you training me so she continued doing that, along with learning how to use the powers I've got from her"
Yukari gave him a bigger hug and a kiss "I'd better go, it's about to become a little to adult for me"
Moka growled "Not yet, we'll control ourselves and stick to the" her face fell "Rota. That means I have to wait until last"
"Split days and nights" Mizore suggested "Rather afternoons and nights"
Akasha looked around at the others "Shall we start tonight, I think his daughters would like to get to know him a little better, they can have this afternoon. What do you think Moka?"
"We'll have lunch after we've all had a five minute hug"
oOoOo
At lunch Moka looked long and hard at Tsukune "Yukari how are the house finances?" she at last asked
"In dollars; we've received the two million that Tsukune received for the two vampires, prior to that I think the balance was four, mostly from the Wendigo, but there's a substantial amount coming in each month now from the enclaves for the gardening"
"Then we can have a little shopping trip. Tsukune needs to look the part now; I think that he'd look better in proper clothing rather than the standard school issue"
Kokoa grinned "The tailors you were looking at in the square" her head went on one side "There was a broach I liked in the window papa"
"We also need to get clothing for Kahlua" Tsukune added to the discussion.
"How far is he along with swordplay Sora?" Akasha asked
"He's good, even without using speed he can hold his own" she looked and raised her eyebrows "Baldric under a waistcoat is best"
"Good then he can still wear it with the school uniform"
"Mother" Moka asked
"The mate of a Hades Lady is a Lord" Akasha smiled "Of my castle. And should be addressed as such shouldn't he Lady Moka"
"Are we strong enough mother?"
"You were before you went to the Yuki Onna village; now. Oh yes, it will take a few days, maybe a week before Issa hears. If the drones don't leave then we'll consider what action to take"
"Then let's get shopping" Kurumu said "Saturday afternoon shopping is the best" her eyes glowed then she frowned "We'll need to split up we won't have time to go as a group for both Kahlua and Tsukune"
"What's wrong Kahlua" Akasha asked looking across the table
"I don't want to be rude but who picked his clothes" she indicated the trousers and tee-shirt Tsukune was wearing.
Moka and Kokoa sighed as realisation struck "Have you enough to wear today Kahlua" Moka asked
"I can make do"
"Those were just picked off a rail, we had about five minutes and Tsukune wasn't there" she was actually slightly embarrassed "Then let's get Tsukune dressed today and you tomorrow"
"I can get some things quickly as we walk" Kahlua said
"What's going on" Kurumu looked at the three confused
"We're about to be given a lesson in clothing, not fashion Ku, quality. I hope the tailors is suitable, otherwise it will be a longer trip to Milan London or Paris"
.
Tsukune had very little to do, Kahlua had inspected some of the work and looked at the cloth. Satisfied she allowed Tsukune to be measured then as he sat back down proceeded to argue with the tailor on just about everything. The others watched as angular sketches appeared and were discussed then altered. Finally he looked up when agreement was reached.
"Colours" he said
"Classic" was the instant reply "summer and winter five of each include a pinstripe and three coats as well"
"How soon"
"Have you seen what he's wearing" Kahlua asked "Where can I get the accessories?"
"We have a total shop" he indicated a small passage with discrete lettering on a plaque next to the open door. The measurements have been sent to all the areas; you can only select items that are the correct size"
Kahlua turned to Tsukune "Strip and throw those things away" she pointed "Kurumu pants and socks a dozen each to start" Kahlua's finger moved "Moka studs for shirts and collars links and pins, six sets. If they have it a hunter and chain" the finger moved again "Kokoa shoes again six pairs and belts, Yukari go and select briefcase and wallet, Mizore shirts, ties and handkerchiefs at least a dozen of each"
She turned back "A total gentleman's shop, swords and daggers"
"Everything for the discerning gentleman" he grinned "Or his wives" he watched Akasha and Sora walk down the corridor "If I may, I'll pass this order on and then we can start packing a suitable bag of holding, less of course one set. The name to go inside"
"Lord Aono. Oh I almost forgot, two academy blazers and their disgusting ties" He nodded and walked to the back. Kahlua turned to Tsukune "You're still dressed"
