I have no excuse for the late update, because it's obvious why. General laziness and Skyrim; mostly Skyrim. There's bound to be errors in this chapter, so constructive and harsh critisism is how I'm going to improve in my writing. So don't hold back on the honesty, because I'm going to need it for both my sake and yours.
If you notice the change of cover for the story, it's been hand-drawn by me. Just wanted to get that out there.
Anyways, I'm outski.
After they went their separate ways, Moka was giving some thought about a particular subject earlier. Ever since their little encounter with the strange guy at the woods, she's been having bad feelings about something that she could not explain, something she unfortunately was no expert at. It wasn't just that, the very same words the very odd bus driver said kept repeating in her head.
Flashback...
"But seeing as you don't even fear women and understand the feelings of one on an above average scale, you won't need help from little ol' me. Heheheheh..."
For reasons beyond her grasp, it always causes a discomforting pang to resonate throughout her chest cavity. Why she even felt like this for something not considered a big deal only further jumbled her mind into a bigger mess. All she knew that it was only making her feel more uncomfortable. She would at least like to know why this unfamiliar feeling continued to make itself known to her just now.
'I shouldn't be thinking about this. But why do I feel like it bothers me?' She thought while shaking her head. Her thoughts were cut off by an unfamiliar voice addressing her directly.
"So, you're Moka Akashiya, a vampire huh?"
She stopped and looked to where the voice came from. She soon found it was a girl sitting on the stair rails that was the source of the voice. The girl had on a cocky smile adopting her face, for reasons only she knows. Moka didn't even know this girl and already she was getting bad feelings about her.
"Though those are only just rumors, are they?"
The girl then jumped off the railing and landed gracefully on the floor; also having either an unattended or attended side effect of showing her undergarments. The conveniently placed males behind her got an eyeful of them, and did what any other group of boys do when they see a spectacle like that.
Saying lewd comments with an outdoor voice.
"Holy shit did you guys see that?! Am I the only one who saw that!"
"Goddamn, what a beauty!"
"She isn't tall, but looks at those massive mounds!"
"Why haven't we noticed this chick besides Moka before?!"
"OH MY GOD, WHERE THE HELL IS YOUR DIGNITY YOU BITCH?!"
Kurumu's left eye twitched in anger from that comment alone, 'I swear when I find the little asshole that said that, I'll rip him to shreds with my claws,' she thought. Moka immediately recognized that voice from the other day.
Both female students broke from their metaphorical train of thought and put their attention towards each other.
"Anyways, my name is Kurumu Kurono, a succubus. My goal for the moment is to beat you, since you're an obstacle to my plan!"
"Uh, wait, isn't it against the school rules to reveal your true form? And what do you mean by 'I'm an obstacle'?" Moka asked. She briefly thought back to Tsukune's explanation about the 'Wanpanchiman', wondering if she was involved in breaking the school rules. Though if she wanted to get technical, she might as well been.
"You know what I mean! Stop playing dumb and just admit it!" Kurumu continued to accuse Moka, who now adopted the look of a lost animal, with a literal question mark hovering above her cranium.
"...Admit what?"
"You know what I mean!"
"Uh... what?"
"JUST DROP THE BULLSHIT ACT AND JUST SAY IT WHERE EVERYONE CAN HEAR!"
"I'm sorry, but I really don't know what you mean by that."
Kurumu made a face that clearly showed her disbelief at the words the bubbly girl said to her. She couldn't tell whether she was legitimately confused, playing dumb to save face, or she was just that dumb. But for the sake of poorly-made comedy (in some people's opinion), the face the tealnette made will be interpreted as the iconic, generic, 'did you just assume my gender?' face.
Moka spoke up in hopes she could diffuse this whole misunderstanding with nothing but the inconsistent weapon known as diplomacy, "Look, I honestly don't know what you're accusing me of, but maybe we could find some way to end this without viole-", was as far as she got before the succubus interrupted her with monologuing heard in plays, television shows, novels, or video games.
Better known as cheesy mediocre villain speech.
"Fine! If you're so clueless as to what my plan is, then I'll gladly tell you."
"But I didn't ask what your plan was..."
"My ultimate goal is to make every single male here my slave! For that, I have given it the name of operation-" Kurumu then got into a pose to better fit the atmosphere she made with her little speech. Partly involving pointing her index finger at Moka.
"Youkai Academy Boy Harem Transformation Grand Scheme!"
Moka, who still had absolutely no idea on what the strange girl before was accusing her of, could not help but look at her oddly with a sweatdrop running down the side of her head. The male students behind her made similar faces as well. But still, hearing someone declare that they would control the minds of the opposite sex just to find their significant other was pretty unusual; unless you were either an Incubus or Succubus.
The pinkette was unsure how much time has been spent looking at the tealnette awkwardly, but maybe long for the the newfound information to sink into the complicated bundles of grey matter guarded safely within the hard shells attached atop their vertebraes known as skulls.
Even after the information has been processed, Moka still couldn't utter a word, as it would only come out and be mistaken as incomprehensible spider language. She truly can't wrap her head around the whole thing. Just as she focused her mind and tried to forget the unusual plan her unconfirmed rival has revealed, Kurumu continued to where she left off during her rant. This in turn initiated a series of images that have previously occured.
In other words, another flashback.
Flashback...
Kurumu can be seen strolling casually down the hall, looking as though she were busy in her own little world while humming a little tune. Her whole attitude and composure suggested she were confident about something, that something being her natural charm meant to garner the attention of any hormonal male. As evident by the following effects of being drawn to such a seductive organism.
The first male stopped talking to his friend in favor of analyzing such a stunning female.
The second male she passed by had his eyes magnetically drawn to her amazing bust size.
The fifth male suddenly wished they had a camera.
The eleventh male began to fantasize about her.
Every time she passed by someone of the opposite sex, she would gain their upmost attention and gawk at her figure. This went on for maybe a few minutes before a large majority of the make student body were following her and praising her beauty. For unusual reasons, the large crowd had hearts replacing their eyes and multiple hearts floated off of them.
As the naive mob of entranced boys continued to follow their 'goddess' around while spouting nonsense their controlled enslaved minds could conjure, one of them stopped to look at something, or someone, who eminated a far more glorious aura than the teal-haired girl they were mindlessly following. This mesmerizing feeling the male felt when he gazed at the true incarnate of beauty ensnared him into following the beauty of pink.
He wasn't the only one to notice this, as a few more of the charmed boys have noticed the new source of eye-catching interest. One by one, they all focused more on this than the succubus, who was still in the realm of daydreaming and not noticing that her enslaved entourage were leaving her. It wasn't until she finally took notice of the lack of praises that she finally snapped out of her pride-fueled daydreaming.
Moka: Wait, what does this have to do with me?
Kurumu: Shut up and keep listening!
The moment Kurumu saw what appeared to be her mass of followers following and endlessly praising another source of their newly caught attention, she was both curious and insulted. What got their attention so much that they completely ignored her. Regardless, she decided to walk over and investigate. She had to push and carelessly shove any loud male who praised whatever they considered their new idol; none of them even being aware that they were tossed to the tiled floor. She swore that whatever it is that got them to stop looking at her will pay dearly by the judgement of her sharp claw-like nails.
After so much constant pushing and teeth gritting from having to hear praising that should have been directed only to her and her only, Kurumu finally saw who it was that stole her thunder. What she couldn't understand is why this girl, this one girl, was able to make her look like an object not worth the interest of anyone. But this pink eyesore was viewed upon as some kind of 'goddess' that has descended from the 'heavens' to grace them all in her 'blessing', according to one of the boys actually saying that.
No joke, that is literally what one of them said.
Also... hold on, is... is that... a pink, sparkly anime background... surrounding this girl?
Of course! That's how she was able to attract these naive, pitiful males to her like how bees were attracted to pollen. She was, without a doubt, a sorceress sent to sabotage Kurumu's master plan that has no chance of failing whatsover.
Until this pink-haired bitch came along and decided to herself, "Huh, you know I think I'll just swoop in casually and ruin someone's hard work with my cheap-as-hell magic trick that will get any kind of guy to follow me like I'm all fucking that".
Moka: Hold on, are you just making this all up?
Kurumu: Stop interrupting me!
Kurumu gritted her teeth some more in rage and jealously. What did this girl have that identified her as more attractive than her? Her looks weren't even that jaw-dropping, just a pretty face with a slim figure and a bust size that wasn't even as big as hers. Isn't that what guys prefered in a girl? If not, then her mother was basically full of shit. No, there had to be more than her little background and her cheery atmosphere that made her want to regurgitate so badly.
However, the moment they crossed paths - Moka 'unknowingly' walking past Kurumu - they formed eye contact. Only one spark of lightning arced between them, but was barely noticable. Moka gave Kurumu a mocking smirk, and out of nowhere, gave her the right middle finger. Kurumu's rage increased even more at that insult, and instead of lashing out at her like any girl her age would normally do, she kept that raw hatred contained and used it to fuel her determination on permanently ridding this obstacle from ruining everything she worked hard to achieve. No way was this skank going to undo the roots of labor that she made from the ground up.
"That last part never happened! I don't even understand half of the stuff you said!" Exclaimed Moka. While having a lot of patience, it seemed to be running thin right now from just having an unecessary argument with her. Irritation was a feeling she was not common with, but did not mean she was not familiar with; the ridicule she recieved from humans was a fine example.
"Ha! Just what I expected someone like you to say!" Retorted Kurumu with her smug attitude still present. Thankfully, her charm was strong enough to keep her hypnotized group from hearing the whle thing.
As the two girls continued to argue with each other, the crowd of boys looking at the scene couldn't help but feel how intense the shouting match between the two stunning vixens was becoming.
'Whoa, this fight's getting intense!' Is what they all thought. The volume emitted from each of their vocal chords increased with each word thrown between them. It was sort of like a game of hot potato, if hot potato was who could yell the loudest in a heated verbal debate.
Before the arguing match between the pinkette and the tealnett eventually lead to shouting and unavoidably trading blows with one another, the ground shook. This caught everyone off guard and thus, made them lose their balance and fall on their posteriors. The strength of the tremor felt similar to the mini-quake that came from an apocalypse the other day. The ground trembled for a few more seconds before the vibrations vanished.
All of them became confused, why did the ground shake is their initial thought. Most could not find the answer as they did not know why another mini-quake made itself known. But some of the boys, the one who witnessed the god-like feat from that one guy the other day, immediately guessed it was him again. And if so, then what was the reason that the unidentifiable teen had to create another tremor?
Their answer came from the approach of footsteps that none of them noticed until now, and a casual, but uninterested-sounding voice speaking nonchalantly as if part of the school did not shake unexpectedly.
"Man, maybe I shouldn't have eaten those spicy udon noodles before bed," the voice, obviously a male's, said. All heads turned to the source to see a brown-haired teen with an unsual bored look on his face. The teen rubbed his stomach area tenderly as though he had ingested something that was causing the food-storing organ problems. He also looked a bit deep in thought, though anyone who at least knew him for a certain amount of time would be able to tell, since his blank look made it a true challenge to identify which emotion he was showing.
He looked up from his stomach to the large crowd of boys, the girl from the woods, and his pink-haired friend, all of whom were giving him odd looks, minus Moka who has quickly adjusted to the weirdness that follows him, somewhat. When Tsukune landed his eyes on the only person he was truly familiar with, both corners of his mouth curved upwards to form a smile on his blank face.
"Oh, hey Moka, I didn't expect to see you here," he said as jovially as he could sound, which was on a monotonous octave. A confused frown was the next to make an appearance, "actually, what are you doing here? Class started a couple of minutes ago."
"Eh?" The pink-haired vampire girl took a glance at the clock that hung on the wall above everyone to see that the minute and hour hands have indicated that passing period had ended some time ago. The recall explanation that Kurumu gave must have taken a lot longer than it was supposed to. 'Great, I'm late now...' Moka thought dejectedly. While not one to admit it freely, she took a bit of pride, just a little bit, of getting to class on time and not missing a single bit of the teachings each of her classes have to offer.
Her thoughts involving various scenarios of how she would be punished for her tardiness turned her mood from slight depression to very skittish. Questions such as 'will I get detention?', or 'Am I going to be suspended for being late?', or possibly 'Does this mean I'll get expelled if I keep this up?', plagued her mind. It was not just those that put her on edge, but more like how her father would react if he caught word of her missing classes frequently. Believe her when she says her dad is an intimidating man.
But that was only if she repeatedly missed classes, not if she definitely would, or something.
Anyways, her overall metaphorical train of thought had to make an emergency break from itself, because the sound she had quickly accustomed to being detested at, specifically Kurumu's voice, reached her ears. Not only that, but it was also what she did to further increase her dislike for the pompous arrogant succubus. "Ahhh, Tsukune you're here!" Kurumu said in a happy tone as she threw herself at him and gave the boy a hug, acting as though she has not done anything wrong.
Tsukune looked perplexed from the gesture he received, confounded even. Here was this girl - whose name he had somewhat forgotten -, who he still knew nothing about just throw herself at him like they knew each other for a long time. He did not know what she was attempting to do, but his hero senses - which he had called since he couldn't come up with a better name - told him she was not friendly, and this useful sense has not failed him once. Other than the time he slept late during noon the other day and missed the 60% sale day. If only that applied to his otherworldy sixth sense...
Wait, what was he doing? Oh yeah, trying to figure out why this girl was so nice to him, but got bad vibes from her. Regardless, all he knew is that he did not know her, and that he should go on his merry way. He did so by gently pushing her away from his personal space, as she had overstayed her welcome in that area, "Can you stop already? You're starting to bug me out."
"W-Wait! Just look at me for a second."
"For wha-"
He stopped talking when he saw the air ripple between him and Kurumu, like back at the forest. He did not know how she was doing it, but he did not care. She was starting to creep him out, and he had valid good reasons. One, she tried to invade his personal space. Two, she keeps hugging him. Unlike her, whenever Moka does it, she at least does it in a friendly manner. This girl's hugs had not-so-good intentions within them. And three, she's giving him that look that makes him assume that she is a weirdo.
The brunette felt more uncomfortable the longer she kept trying to stare into the inner recesses of his mind. To Tsukune it looked like she was trying to do that. In Kurumu's point of view, she was using her charm at maximum output to put the boy in front of her uder her control. She grew more frustrated as she began to realize that the teenager was indeed immune to her charm. 'Dammit! How is he able to resist my charm at maximum while at point blank range?!'
Tsukune pushed her away gently again while furrowing his eyebrows a little bit, "Look, I don't know what you're trying to do, but quit it. You're being a real weirdo," he said in a semi-scolding manner, like he was lecturing an immature child who did something they weren't supposed to do. He turned his attention to Moka and spoke, "Hey Moka, wanna go walk around a bi-" he was interrupted when the vampire zoomed to his side in an instant and hastily latched onto his right arm.
"Yesletsgosomewhere!" Moka said at a fast pace. She sounded eager to go Tsukune assumed, a little too eager, if her dragging him away in a rushed manner was any indication. Kurumu could only watch in disbelief as the duo walked away; one in a hurry to get away from her and the other still having no knowledge of what happened prior to his arrival.
The teal-haired teenage girl was feeling several emotions within her, and most of them were based off of anger. She also felt the blow her pride had taken. Kurumu took extreme satisfaction on what her looks had brought to her, and being brushed off so casualy like that made it all the more shaming. If her mother ever caught word of this, she'll get earful for sure.
"Ooohhhh! Rejected!" A random boy from the crowd yelled, most likely the same person who made the annoying comment. Kurumu whipped her head to where she assumed the insult came from. Her eyes seething with fury, a kind that only monsters can replicate.
"WHO SAID THAT?!" All of the hypnotized males stood stiff out of fear. The scene looked like a drill sergeant was ready to give a good tongue lashing at a handful of recruits who one of them thinks their cheeky enough to throw in a random comment witout getting caught, "WHICH ONE OF YOU SAID THAT?!" Silence met her ears, "NOBODY HUH?! THE GODDAMN TOOTH FAIRY SAID IT THEN?!" The males shook from where they stood, too scared to say anything that may make them the outlet of her anger. Kurumu smirked internally at the sight, 'That's what I thought,' she said inside her mind.
The tooth fairy was, in fact, real. It's just that they were too slippery and silent to even be noticed by humans. What they did with those teeth was up to anyone's imagination. Though she heard somewhere that they either roll around on a mountain of teeth, or just straight up munch on them. Though it still boggled her mind on why they leave human currency underneath pillows.
She felt mostly calm after a good yelling; she honestly needed it. Now, how was she going to go through with her plan when the entirety of plan A has been debunked? Simple, think up of an plan B, duh! Even a human dunce can do it; at a level of inferiority of course. Though that's where she hit a mental roadblock. Kurumu didn't know what her plan B was about. She spent so much time formulating her now useless plan A that she basically had the equivalence of artists block, exept it applied to plan formulation; better just call it plannists block.
To help get her mind going, she started to pace back and forth with an arm behind her back and the other cupping her chin; an action that humans may or may not have started. As she started to gather the figments of her imagination required to help create her brand new fool-proof plan B, she made a separate thought bubble to go over the faults she overlooked that is the reason she has to go make a new plan.
First and only fault, Tsukune. Kurumu had underestimated the boy's resistance to her charm, which, in turn made her previously mentioned plan A to get thrown into the metaphorical junkyard, where plan's from different individuals rot away to nothingness because of how useless they have become.
Because of his apparent immunity to mind control, the plan was now ruined. Plan A originally was getting Tsukune under her control, which equals her total victory and Moka's suffering. It would have also meant a permanent slave for her; a kiss from a succubus would make a victim stay under their control without the need to charm them. She had to admit that the brunette was cute-looking, and wouldn't have minded to keeping him to herself. Though he oddly smelled like a human, which shouldn't be possible. Humans weren't allowed within the seperate dimension housing the academy.
The best case scenario, she would have finally found her Destined One. Just thinking about it made her back and forth pacing to a slow stop and making her face feel a bit warm, including a faint tingling where her stomach is. Even the corners of her lips moved upwards to make a smile.
But when she remembered the reality of her situation, the feelings vanished like water washing away paint that never got the opportunity to dry. A sad frown adorned her face. Huh, strange, why is she feeling blue she asked herself in her head. No matter, she shouldn't be feeling melancholic at a time like this. Right now, she had to focus on her goal; heaven and hell be damned if she didn't at least make some effort into bringing up the numbers of the succubi race.
Kurumu didn't have to pace anymore, as she had already thought up her new plan B. It was simple, yet she had to be careful, else she screw this up again.
Okay, time to recap here: She never considered the possibility of Tsukune having an immunity to mind control, she told her sworn enemy her plan, leaving her to rethink the whole situation before she could act. All leading up to the purpose behind plan B.
They both had to go, as in they must die. There really wasn't any other way to put it, they knew what she would be planning, and she would bet her enslaved groupie that they would try to stop her, assuming if they did. They could just tell one of the teachers what she was doing, but she doubted they would do that. They looked like the type of people who would solve problems on their own without the supervision of an adult. Even more, she got an odd sense of foreboding coming from Tsukune, like provoking him to fight would be bad news for her. The question right now is how she was going to dispose of them.
Kurumu tapped her right index on her chin, until finally, she brainstormed, and with it came an idea so great that there was absolutely no way that it would fail. She looked behind her to see that her entourage were still there. She basically had a bunch of slaves under her command, might as well have some use for them, and she knew just what to do with them. Putting on her best 'innocent maiden' face, and increasing the output of her charm, she got to work, "Oh boys~!" She made sure to make her pout as cute as possible to sell it completely, and it worked as the hypnotized boys responded like she expected.
"YES MISTRESS KURUMU!" The quoire of lovestruck males reached the ears of one succubus; they slowly grew pointy.
"Could you all be a gentleman and help me with something~?"
"WHATEVER YOU SAY MISTRESS!"
Kurumu smirked internally at how things were turning out, 'Hmph, too easy...', she thought sadistically.
If your expecting more, please have patience because I'm still a beginner in terms of story telling. I recently plan on making a JoJo's Bizarre Adventure X High School DxD story where Jonathan, Erina, Zeppeli, and Speedwagon are resurrected into the DxD verse, with all of them staying human and Jonathan being a total juggernaut, but retaining his mindset of being a gentleman.
That's it, see ya.
