Equality Of Understanding
Tsukune could hardly decide between breaking down in laughter or being absolutely horrified that morning.
The reason? Kurono Kurumu.
Or rather, the way she was moving, moaning and the things she was mumbling while asleep during Kagome Liliko's math lesson.
"Ah... Tsukune... yes... right there... don't be so fast... ohhh..."
Well, there was also turning beet-red with embarassment.
A sudden motion to the edge of his sight shook him from trying to wake up the sleeping succubus. His hand lashed out in a flash and smashed the thrown math implement to the side, much to the shock of the thrower, their sensei.
She had already taken up the perfect pose to scold Kurumu, tossing another triangle in the air. Then it was her chance to be shaken as Tsukune seemed to spit her way and launch a big, green, foul-smelling ball of liquid towards her hand.
Liliko had just taken her hand from under the plastic object when the glob of liquid impacted it and tossed it to the blackboard... where it proceeded to melt the wall behind her...
"W-W-What the?" She only whispered it, but the entire class could sympathize.
"Kagome Liliko-sensei..." Tsukune's voice was as harsh as his eyes that glared at her. "My accuracy in my human form is atrocious, so next time you throw something at my friends, I may miss my target. Am I understood?"
"H-H-How d-d-dare you! Are you threatening me boy?" She screeched, her fear obvious not only in her uncharacteristic stutter but even in her scent. No student could blame her for that though.
"No, I am stating a fact; my reaction to the threat of my friends is instinctive. If you throw anything at them again, I will react the same way but I may miss. Besides, as a woman, I thought you were aware that there are far more ways to wake someone rather than hitting them. Unless that is your thing Kagome-sensei..."
Great, now she was the one who was blushing and earning the chuckles from the entire class. What could she say? It really was her thing.
Tsukune ignored that however, instead he went back to trying to shake Kurumu awake. When he failed again, he sighed and moved next to her ear where he only whispered to her. "Kurumu-chan, the cookies are burning... your important Tsukune-cookies are burning up!"
The poor girl shot up wide awake shouting. "Nooo! My Tsukune-cookies!" Then she paused to rethink about it. "Wait, I don't make Tsukune-coo...kies... Gyah!" That was when she noticed exactly where she was and promptly sat down embarassed.
The lesson took some time to start again from that break and Tsukune couldn't help but be annoyed by the way some girls thought he was 'very manly' about the way he protected his girl friend. Apparently, men with ideals were rare in the monster world.
Liliko decided against harshly testing any of Tsukune's friends other than Yukari and Moka, knowing that these two always paid attention and were good at her class. The boy had grown way too much spine in the past six months and wasn't even slightly intimidated by her any more. Then again, she didn't know what horrors he had gone through in that time. So, deciding to put that event behind her, she asked Moka to solve the problem, with the vampiress being impeccable in her solution as always. Which, as always, gathered much murmuring about her skills and how her beauty was equal to her mind and how her personality was so nice and...
It made Tsukune growl to hear them like that. Some small, possessive part of himself hated it when others looked at her that way.
He took a calming breath to avoid blowing up at the fools who only saw Moka's outside beauty and declared her to be perfect, unknowing of her true self, her failings and mistakes, the things that really made her great to his eyes.
Kurumu on the other hand was mumbling about smartasses and how anyone could do that if they studied a bit more. Her ranting was made even more furious when Liliko decided to get the last word in as the bell rang; "Kurumu-chan, please try to follow Moka-san's example a bit more, please. And Aono-kun, hitting women isn't a knightly thing to do."
Understandably, the teacher left rather hurriedly after that.
Yukari, always wanting to reinforce Moka's position as the perfect woman, quickly conjured up a pair of glasses like Liliko's and mimcked her voice and accent when scolding Kurumu.
"Kurumu-chan, please try to follow Moka-san's example a bit more, please." Then she broke down in merry laughter. "That's impossible! Kurumu-san isn't anywhere near as smart as Moka-san! There's no contest between them!"
The minature witch was soon being strangled by an annoyed Kurumu, leaving Tsukune to play peacemaker, trying to calm her down. "Yukari-chan! Please don't say such things! Kurumu-chan has many other good points! And Kurumu-chan, please stop trying to kill Yukari-chan!"
Just as Kurumu was getting her hopes back up, Mizore decided to bring them back down, harshly. "Actually, Kurumu's ability in every other lesson is pretty horrible..."
Kurumu growled while Tsukune tried to calm her down and make Mizore stop saying things like that. Catching a glimpse of pink, she turned and glared at Moka.
"Well, I may be bad at studying and such things, but at least I will always surpass Moka in feminine charms!" And with that she was pressing her considerable bust against Moka's own.
Seeing another fight coming up, Tsukune decided to be a bit more forceful, even though he didn't like to. "Please stop it! All of us are good at some things and bad at something else, it's just the way things go! I mean, Moka-san is a great student, but there are things that Kurumu-chan is better at. Mizore-chan constantly skips lessons, but there are few better than her in tracking and stealth! Yukari-chan is the youngest of us all and she is smarter than any of us. We're all good at something. That's the way things are!"
Mizore was pretty miffed at that. "And what exactly is boob-lady good at?"
"You've never been caught in her illusions then I guess..." Answered a smirking Tsukune, remembering the fate of a fan who went a bit too far in his obsession. "And Kurumu-chan is also very good at cooking, especially her cookies, they're to die for! Even more importantly, she's a very kind and nice person, so I don't care if she's bad in book stuff. I'm not that good at it either."
Kurumu was looking at Tsukune with stars in her eyes and Yukari quickly rushed in to save Moka's 'honor' "Then what about Moka-san?"
Tsukune hummed for a bit. "The Inner or Outer? Outer Moka-san is very good at studying and very kind, but she isn't good at fighting. Inner Moka-san is very good at fighting but she's not very good at cooking and home economics. And you Yukari-chan, you are the smartest person I've ever seen, but you can't fight much either and you're bad at things that you haven't learned from a book. Don't you see? We're all bad at something, that's why we need our friends to help us overcome our problems. So stop fighting, alright?"
The gem in Moka's rosario was absolutely glaring at the boy, but even Inner Moka couldn't deny the truth of his words.
Unfortunately, the ceasefire lasted only for a bit until the girls started fighting again, this time it was about which one had the best measurements. They decided to end it in the most direct way possible; they grabbed 'poor' Tsukune and stuck him in the middle of their combined cleavage. With little surprise, he fainted from blood loss.
His last thoughts, before he was swallowed up in dreams and fantasies, was; 'They can't stop fighting! I guess I'll have to resort to that... Damn...'
The fighting stopped when Nekonome walked into the class and gathered everyone up, telling them to go board the bus because they had 'special training' to do.
A bit later, the entire class was getting off the bass into a large clearing where a huge table with several knives and even a few cleavers had been placed. Nekonome almost hopped her way there.
"Alright class! It's time to begin Spring's Fruit Hunt!" She announced as if it were a great event. "Since it's the right season, we have gathered here to earn a bit of the blessings of Nature we're due, thanks to us being Ayashi! Now, pay attention, there are lots and lots of tasty fruit here, but the greatest kind is this!" And then she pulled out a large, spiky fruit with mouths of all things on it. It even quivered slightly. "The Monster Dorian fruit!" Then she brought out a cleaver, yet again from gods know where, and cut it in half, letting its aroma of it flow into everyone's nose. The aroma of blood that is.
Undeterred, the cat demoness continued. "Since it's so hard to harvest, it's really hard to gather this fruit! Especially since, due to the fruits being ripe, birds come and there are a few carnivorous fruits preying on them!" How she made it sound like a cheerful festival, the entire class would never know. "Now get ready, we have baskets here to gather your fruits!"
The students cheered at getting a few hours to have fun rather than study and went to get their baskets. Or well, most of them did.
Because in Tsukune's group, Kurumu, Moka and Mizore were glaring at each other about who would get that fruit. Yukari of course supported Moka. In short moments the girls decided it, against Tsukune's will at that; the winner would get a romantic dinner with the sole male of their group.
Try as the male might, the girls were by that time set in their competition. Be it either to get the laurels of defeating the others or to get themselves some time alone with the boy, they were dead-set on their goal. Tsukune's pleas fell on deaf ears.
It was after quite a bit of walked, when the girls were becoming irritated and annoyed that they saw it; the weird 'fruit'. It wiggled around and from its toothy maws protruded tentacle-like tongues. While Mizore and Kurumu gawked at how suddenly it showed up, Moka had no such reservations. She quickly leapt at it and picked it up.
"Yay! I got it! Lucky!" She cheered happily.
Tsukune and Yukari quickly noticed something was strange, mostly because the other two girls were too busy glaring at Moka and cursing the fact that they were stunned about how suddenly it appeared.
"Moka-san, let it go!" Said Tsukune but it was too late for the surprised girl. The tentacles from its mouth extended quickly and wrapped around her like a hentai movie. Moka even screamed something about how 'it's in!' before falling over blushing and panting.
Unperturbed by that, in possibly more than one ways, Kurumu leapt after it. Since it was hoping around rather energetically for a plant however, Mizore decided to help... by launching a barrage of sharp icicles.
Admittedly, that did work. The problem? It worked too well and hit Kurumu as well. The succubus wasted no time stating her dislike at being riddled with sharp ice bullets by smacking a weird folded paper fan on Mizore's head, which made the yuki-onna release the monster dorian. Really, there's no way folded paper makes bumps of that size, but Tsukune would rather not discuss it with the irate succubus at that moment.
Especially since the blue-head decided to disregard everyone and run off on her own after the still hopping fruit. Hadn't she heard anything about the place? Tsukune followed her quickly, wanting to keep her safe.
After a small marathon of chasing down the devilish fruit, Kurumu and Tsukune arrived at a clearing where it stopped and wiggled weakly.
"Did... did it run out of energy or something?" Asked a panting Kurumu.
"I don't... don't think so... It seems to be waiting for something, it's really weird..."
"Well, since we're here, we might as well collect it and win!"
"Wait, Kurumu-san, it could be a trap!" Warned the boy, but it was too late.
Kurumu had already picked up the fruit. "Yahoo, I got it! Now you have to have a romantic dinner with me Tsukune!"
Said boy was moving towards the succubus when someone ran past him and pushed the cheering girl away, someone with long, pink hair. Moka's voice was quite recognizable. "Watch out Kurumu-chan!"
The unfortunate girl was knocked off her feet and only had time to glare at Moka before large teeth seemed to spring out from the ground around her and attempt to close in on the girl.
Faster than they ever knew he was, Tsukune leapt inside the fanged dome and pushed Moka out, but not without his hand pulling her silver rosario off her chest.
Inner Moka would forever remember that awakening as one of the most terrifying occurences in her life.
Whips made of roots and a large pot belly riddled with Dorian fruits erupted, a huge plant monster, the true Monster Dorian. It would be best if we left out the smell of rotten flesh and foliage out.
"W-what the hell is this?" Screamed Kurumu.
"That's the true Dorian plant, a carnivorous plant that uses its fruit much like angler fish use light to lure its prey! We must hurry or Tsukune-san will get digested!" Called out the group's resident witch.
"She's right." Agreed Moka. "While in his human form, Tsukune shares all the weaknesses of a human body, that stomach could already have knocked him unconscious and unable to transform or fight his way out. Now, stand back while I take care of this."
With that, the silver-haired vampiress leapt at the monster and delivered one of her infamous kicks.
Unfortunately, she had forgotten what had happened at the Witch's Knoll. Plant-type monsters don't have an anatomy and feel no pain or shock from trauma.
Which means that even though her kick pulverized a good part of the plant, it didn't stop it as the girls quickly found out when it lashed out with its whip-like roots.
Moka gritted her teeth. That opponent wasn't particularly dangerous or strong, but it was tough to beat and would take her quite a while to defeat. But she didn't have time, because Tsukune could already be being digested. The mere thought of her made her hair stand on edge and her youki roar around her.
"It's just as Tsukune-san said!" Cried out Yukari from behind a shield made of ice, courtesy of an infuriated yuki-onna. "We can't take it on alone! We have to cooperate!"
Cooperation, the mere thought of that left the bitter taste of bile on Moka's tongue. If she had to cooperate with someone, then that meant that the enemy was too strong for her to defeat and that was unacceptable!
A small voice in the back of her head however asked her something; "Is your pride more important than Tsukune's life?"
In the end she decided. "Hmph, apparently, I need your help to beat it before it kills Tsukune. So, shall we fight it together?"
Kurumu let out a small laugh at that, but it wasn't her usual happy laugh. It was bursting with hate and malice as she took her true form. "Hehehe... what are you talking about Moka? Fight it? For hurting my Destined One, we're going to destroy it!"
"I agree with the boob-girl. No one touches the father of my children!" Again Mizore and her obsession with childbirth.
"Righ~desu! Let's go!" And of course, one should not forget the little witch. She may be young, but she carried a mean set of metal cards on her, and she was not afraid to use them!
By the end of that event, nearly the entire class could have a bit of Dorian. After all, why let all that great fruit go to waste after defeating the true plant? They did leave one behind to act as a seed however.
Tsukune found out that, despite his reservations at eating a fruit that still moved, it tasted quite good. Especially when shared on a table with several friends around as Kurumu expertly noted.
Excusing himself for a bit, Tsukune went to a bush to relieve himself. He had just began to do it too, when a creepy as hell voice came from behind him.
"Well, your little plan did work out in the end. It was a very dangerous thing to do however Tsukune-kun..." The Bus Driver chuckled behind his eternal cigar.
"I know... But what else could I do? We can't hope to be individually strong to fight off every enemy, nor can we always depend on Inner Moka-san... They had to learn to cooperate and this was the best way to do it..."
"Kukuku... At least your determination still holds strong boy... I wish you the best of luck, because truly dark times are coming to Youkai Gakuen and the errors of your past will come to haunt you..."
Appreciating the advice, and trying to get over the creepiness of it all, Tsukune walked back to his friends to enjoy a meal well earned.
Youkai Gakuen's Most Important Lesson: Passed.
Of course it didn't end there. After finishing their food, Tsukune noticed that a plate still had a rather large side of Dorian. When he tried to take it, Moka stopped him.
"Moka-san? Who's this for?"
The girl looked rather uncomfortable there. "U-Umm... it's for Ura-chan..."
Tsukune's eyes widened a bit with realization. "Oh, so she wants a bite too? Want to go somewhere out of sight, I don't think the students here will feel comfortable with her youki. It's kind of large and may scare them."
Inside the Rosario, Inner Moka smirked widely. She hadn't even had to convince her Outer to lure him where they could be alone. Now if her emotional self stopped acting that embarassed about it... Though, now that she thought about it, two young adolescents, going off alone into the woods... especially with the effect Tsukune's blood had on her... She chuckled.
Moka grabbed Tsukune with one hand and the plate with the treat with the other and pulled him away from everyone. Unfortunately, she didn't notice Mizore, Yukari and Kurumu following her. Well, Yukari was there to peep on the final union of her Vampire pair and Mizore and Kurumu were there to prevent exactly that from occuring.
Imagine the surprise of the three stalking girls when they saw Inner Moka being released without a fight, or the way their male friend looked at her. Damn, now they were jealous of her.
Inner Moka ate the food with graceful, controlled motions, like the aristocrat she had been raised to be. Only after she finished her meal did she hum appreciatively and put the plate down on a large rock. "Hmm... it was good. Better than the ones we had at home..." Then she walked towards Tsukune, a small blush creeping on her face.
It was the first time the group noticed just how graceful her walk was. Outside of a combat, they had never quite realized just how fluid or confident her steps were. It was worse in the case of Tsukune, as from his point of view, Moka was almost hypnotically swinging her hips. Though that might be his imagination and rather powerful hormones. Not to forget an Inner Demon mocking him about not showing her what she's missing out on, or she would never accept him if he doesn't do something drastic, like taking her against a tree for example. At least the boy had trained his mind enough to ignore the voice for the most part. And focus on the near-sashaying movements of the vampiress in front of him. He nearly gulped when she came within inches of him.
"Tsukune..." She said in a low, hushed voice, looking straight into his eyes with her reptilian red ones, actually making him gulp. "Give it to me..."
Mental screeching halt, much sputtering, spluttering, curses and a fountain of blood.
"Wha-wha-wha-what?" Tsukune's back was against a tree so there was not much of space to move to and avoid the ever approaching vampiress.
"Give it to me..." She repeated forcefully as she was within inches of him and he could swear she was pretty damn the most erotic thing he had ever seen. And with some of his fangirls, he had seen a lot. "Your... blood!" With that, Moka's fangs pierced Tsukune's neck, releasing his blood into her awaiting mouth.
Kurumu and Mizore, who were leaping towards the vampiress fell flat on their faces right in the middle of the jump, crashing in a heap.
Neither Moka nor Tsukune paid much attention to them however. Moka... Well Moka was just too immersed in drinking his blood, trying to find again that source of power and awareness and raw energy that had coursed into her.
Tsukune on the other hand... He just focused on how different Inner and Outer were when drinking. Outer would hang on his neck while biting, squealing a bit. Inner Moka on the other hand, wrapped her arms around him to hold him steady and took a whiff of his scent before biting, almost like testing fine wine, and she wasn't afraid to go for maximum contact while sating her vampiric urges. Which meant that, due to his hormones, Moka would very soon be able to feel the effects that her actions did to his traitorous body.
Unbeknownst to him, she already had taken note of that and was also trying to ignore it, lest things quickly went to a direction she couldn't allow them to move.
But, all of a sudden, and way too soon in more than one ways, Inner Moka pulled her head from the crook of Tsukune's neck and almost glared at him. "I said give it to me, you're not giving it to me." Again with that commanding voice.
"Wh-wh-what should I give you?" Did he even dare hope he had misheard or misunderstood?
She crushed it all again. "Your true blood! The blood you gave Outer! Give it to me again!"
He nodded quite uncomfortably and hoped to someday get rid of that blush and the reaction her words, so easily taken out of context, brought to him.
Then she just bit him again and moaned into his neck when his youki entered his blood and then her own system. It was all he could do to grab the tree behind him and not the girl in front of him.
While Moka was too absorbed by the action of drinking that heavenly blood and Kurumu and Mizore were all too miffed about the way he panted, Yukari was the only one to notice that with his head arced back, fangs were making themselves very obvious. Very vampire-like fangs. The little witch smirked. Just a bit more, just a little bit more and her plans would be a success!
Now, if she could adapt HoreHore-kun to work through blood and inject it to Tsukune and Moka... Her hormonal glee caught up with the little girl and she knew no more as she fainted with a nosebleed.
When she was finished, Moka pulled back, but not before giving a long lick to seal the puncture wounds unlike her flighty other side. She couldn't have any of that blood wasted now, could she?
The temptress inside her was all too pleased to see how Tsukune's eyes, now staring at her from the base of a tree after almost collapsing, giving her a look that was not anywhere near friendly.
Well, she wanted to tease him a bit as well. It wasn't fair that only her Outer could do it. Realizing the paths these thoughts had taken, and where they would eventually lead to, she quickly stopped them with an impressive force of will.
It was too bad she also was too absorbed in the high brought on by the blood to notice his fangs, extended and glinting in the dim light of the forest.
When the Rosario was in her hands, seconds before being put back into place, she couldn't help herself but look back at him and give him a small wink. Then her hair turned pink, her eyes green and her consciousness was trapped inside the silver prison, free to express herself in any way she wanted.
Which meant that Outer Moka was left there to feel the burn of Tsukune's smouldering eyes and a certain Yuki-onna and Succubus pair's glaring. The shock of being awakened with such a full stomach, enough that she didn't think she could drink blood that day even if she wanted, ruined her concentration just for the minute second needed to release a short, somehow cute even, burp. The pink-haired girl instantly 'eep'ed' once realizing what she did and turned beet red with embarassement.
Her Inner Self's description about Tsukune's blood and how it felt trickling down her throat certainly did not help her.
It took quite a bit of time for Tsukune and the others to return to the rest of the class and a bit more to go back to their rooms. Most to study, though a certain male also had to take a very cold shower. During all that time, Kurumu and Mizore couldn't stop glaring at their pink-haired friend, though Yukari was just staring at her with stars and hearts in her eyes. Check that, Kurumu did stop glaring at the girl, though that was mostly so she could pout and mumble about 'how can a vampire be more seductive than a succubus, no fair, no fair!' and promptly try to seduce Tsukune.
The Bus Driver's none-too-innocent comments and Nekonome-sensei's winking and low whispering about 'using protection' only made things worse for the frustrated vampire.
And the demon trapped inside him didn't know if he was born out of Tsukune's fury or Tsukune's long repressed lust. Oh great now even it was having existential issues!
A/N: Shorter, but easier to get out as well. I would have put it in the previous one, but I couldn't because I couldn't thematically fit them together. Anyway, at least it came out all the faster for it. Unfortunately, I'm up for army service soon (May 3rd to be precise), which is a waste of a good six months of my life. At least I'll be away from my parents, which is almost good enough to make up for it. The problem is that I don't know if I'll even have time to write or if my Inspiration will completely leave me. I hope not, otherwise I'll have to read every chapter of Rosario again just to hope to get it back. Hopefully, I will meet some other RP fanatics and get to play a bit. Not much hope, but it's the greatest one I have.
