"A fund raising contest?" Moka asked sounding surprised. "I didn't know this school did anything like that."

"It's a new project the Chairman is sponsoring." Nekonome announced. She was talking to the newspaper club members. "It's to foster healthy competition between all the individual clubs, and raise a little extra cash for the school. We are going to compete against each other to sell as many of these as possible." She held out a box of chocolate bars.

"Yahoo! Candy!" Kurumu cried. As always her sweet tooth was hungry. "I want some!"

Nekonome's 'ears' twitched and her bright orange tail swished back and forth. "That'll be one thousand yen."

"Wait! I have to pay for it?" Kurumu wailed on dismay.

"Weren't you even listening you top heavy milk jug?" Yukari said pointedly. "The whole point of this is to raise funds. Desu."

"That's right," Nekonome said. "The club that sells the most boxes of chocolate will get a… special prize."

Mizore popped her head out of the supply closet. "What's the prize?"

Nekonome looked embarrassed. "Ah, a group date with the student of their choice."

"Huh?" Moka asked, getting a bad feeling.

"The winning club will get to enjoy a date with any student here at school," Nekonome explained.

"Really? Sounds interesting," Gin said. There were several cute girls he could think of whom we wouldn't mind getting a hold of.

All the girls instinctively looked at Tsukune.

"What?" He asked, noticing all the sudden attention.

"Isn't it obvious?!" Kurumu said jumping to her feet. "You're easily he hottest guy on campus! If a club with a lot of girls in it wins they'll definitely want to have a date with you!"

"Unacceptable! Desu!" Yukari cried. "We finally get him all to ourselves and we're supposed to share him?!"

"Uh, guys?" Tsukune said nervously. "Aren't you getting a little ahead of yourselves? I mean except for getting challenged to fights all the time I don't think I'm really popular at all."

"I agree," Gin said. A vein in his forehead was throbbing. "I mean why on earth would girls be interested in someone as plain and ordinary looking as him when they would have me instead?"

"Gee thanks," Tsukune said tonelessly. He looked at Nekonome. "Any way even if I were somehow picked I wouldn't have to go would I? I mean I never agreed to anything before hand. The Chairman can't just order me about like his private plaything."

"Please Tsukune!" Nekonome cried putting her hands together. "It's for the good of the school! You won't let us down will you?" her ears flopped down dejectedly.

"But…"

"Look there is no way that anyone would ever pick Tsukune," Gin repeated.

"What do you mean?" Moka asked. "He's my mate and all the girls in here adore him too."

Kurumu, Mizore, and Yukari all nodded.

"I know," Gin muttered. It's one of the great mysteries of the universe. "But there is no way any other girls would be interested in him."

The next morning Tsukune and Moka were headed to calls with Kurumu and Yukari tagging along. As they neared the gate they saw a large crowd of boys gathered around a table loaded down with boxes of chocolates.

Swim Club Captain Ichinose Tamao stood in front of the rest of her squad in an aqua bikini top and sarong. "Please help us win this contest and get our hands on the hottest boy in school, the vampire Tsukune!" She called out.

Oh no, Moka, Tsukune and the others all thought at once.

"Hey!" Moka shouted and went up to the table. "What's going on here?"

Tamao eyed her with an icy smile. "Why hello again Moka, I haven't seen you since you sent me to the infirmary and trashed my entire club. Would you like to buy some chocolate?"

"No! What I want to know is what are you up to?"

"What do you mean?" She answered innocently. "I and my club are just competing to sell as many chocolates as we can so we can go out on a date with our dream man." Looking past Moka to where Tsukune was standing she gave him a playful wink. "I haven't forgotten about you Tsukune."

"I haven't forgotten about you either," he said darkly. "Do you really think you can ambush me a second time?"

"Oh Tsukune! Are you going to hold a grudge because of one unpleasant experience?"

"You tried to eat me," he reminded her.

Tamao help her hands up. "I know, and I'm sorry, I went a little over board I admit. Your scent was just so delicious I couldn't help myself. Now though I swear all I want is to show you a good time." She leaned forward a bit to give him an obstructed view of her cleavage. "I could show you a very good time."

Turning red Moka jumped in front of her to obstruct Tsukune's line of sight. "No way! You are not a friend and I won't have you going on even one date with my Tsukune!"

"That's right," Kurumu chimed in. "After everything we've been through to finally get our chances with him no way do you deserve one!"

"Well that's not really for any of you to decide," Tamao said pleasantly. "If we sell the most chocolates by the end of the week we get a date with anyone we choose, and we'll choose Tsukune. And just so we're clear," she teased. "The group date will be just me and him."

"That will never happen," Moka looked to the others. "We'll win this contest, right?!"

"Yahoo! You bet we will!"

"Fight! Desu!"

Mizore popped her head of a shrub. "We will definitely win."

XXXXXXXXXX

The contest was set to last one school week and would be over by four o'clock that Friday. Determined not to let anyone else go out with Tsukune the girls all agreed to do whatever it took to sell as many boxes of chocolates as possible to defeat the Swim Club.

XXXXXXXXXX

"Excuse me," Moka said putting a finger to her trembling lips. She approached a table full of boys during lunch. "Would any of you like to but some collocates? I'll be sooooo sad if I can't sell them." Her big green eyes seemed on the verge of tears.

"So cuuuuuute!!" One of the boys exclaimed.

"Don't cry! I'll help." The boy took out his wallet. "I'll take three boxes."

"I'll take one!" Another said.

"I'll take five!"

Moka smiled and seemed to almost glow. "Thank you very much!"

XXXXXXXXXX

"Excuse me," a sweet voice called out.

Some boys turned about and immediately fell over. There before them was Kurumu dressed in the same skimpy maid outfit she'd had on during the cultural festival.

"Would any of you like to buy my chocolates? It would make me happy." Since falling for Tsukune she no longer used her charm ability. But that didn't mean she didn't have her ways to get what she wanted from unsuspecting and helpless males.

"I'll buy some!" One shouted shoving a handful of yen at her.

"Me too!" Another said.

"Yahoo! Here you go." She quickly sold every box she had with her.

She then let out a sigh. "You know I wish I had someone to give me chocolates…"

XXXXXXXXXX

"Life is good!" She said happily as she sat in her room eating chocolate and counting the money she'd collected.

XXXXXXXXXX

"Won't you pwease buy me chocolates? Pwetty please?" This is so humiliating! Tsukune better appreciate this! Rather than her usual witch's clothes Yukari had put on some baggy shorts and a way oversized shirt. She had put her pair in a couple pigtails with big pink ribbons and even had a doll under one arm.

She was already painfully aware of how many lollicons were on campus. These came running to her with their savings in outstretched hands.

XXXXXXXXXX

A couple boys were heading back to their rooms when they felt a terrifying aura descend on them. Turning around they saw a figure with cold lifeless eyes stretch out a hand as though beckoning them.

"Buy my chocolates."

"Aaack!!"

"Gah!"

They tossed out some money and ran.

Quietly picking up the money from the ground Mizore called out. "Thank you."

XXXXXXXXXX

Meeting in club after class Thursday they counted up the results of their labors.

"We've sold 841 boxes of chocolates. Desu!" Yukari announced happily.

"Yahoo! We're awesome!" Kurumu's tail popped out and began to wag almost violently. "Now Tsukune won't have to deal with that mermaid skank!"

"Not so fast," Mizore popped her head in from a window. "I just got back from spying on them. The swim club has sold over fifteen hundred boxes."

"No way!" Kurumu shouted. "That's impossible! How could they sell that many?"

Mizore shrugged. "They have more members than we do."

"But… but…" Yukari looked devastated. "I dressed up like a two year old all week! How can we lose?!"

"It's okay Yukari," Tsukune said and patted her on the head. "I really appreciate everything you did for me. He gave her a reassuring smile. "Don't worry about it, it's just one date. It's not the end of the world. I'll just go on it and do my best for one evening."

"NO!" Moka jumped to her feet.

"Moka," Tsukune said in surprise. "It's just one date, it doesn't mean anything."

"No," Moka said and shook her head. "You're my mate Tsukune and I refuse to share you with anyone I don't consider a friend. I know what I have to do," she said grimly and began to walk out of the newspaper room. "I didn't want to do this but I have no choice."

"Moka, you're not… you're not going to kill her, are you?"

"I'm going to do what I should have from the beginning Tsukune. I'm going to show Tamao she'd no match for me." Moka then hurriedly left.

XXXXXXXXXX

The following afternoon the results and winner were announced.

When Tamao heard them she exploded. "The Newspaper Club sold more than ten thousand boxes?! How?!"

One of her club members offered a thought. "Maybe Moka had her dad buy some?"

XXXXXXXXXX

"Are these really all for me daddy?" Kahlua said with delight. Her room was filled from floor to ceiling with boxes of chocolate.

"Yes Kahlua, they are all yours." Lord Akashiya said in a fine mood. It had made him very happy to have Moka suddenly return home yesterday and ask him for help.

"Pleeeeeeeease daddy? Pretty please?" She said her eyes wide.

No father could have said no.

XXXXXXXXXX

Hearing the official results Tsukune turned to Moka amazed. "How did you manage that?"

She frowned. "I'd rather not say, it's not something I'm proud of."

"Who cares?!" Kurumu said grabbing Tsukune by the arm. "Since we won Tsukune has to go on a group date with all of us right?"

Laughing Tsukune nodded. "After everything you girls went through for me that seems only fair." He turned to his girlfriend. "Right Moka?"

She nodded. "Yes, let's all go out and have a good time together."

"Right," Yukari agreed. "And at the end of the date… group sex! Desu!"

The others all stared at her in horror.

"What?" She blinked back.
