Chapter 5: Succubus
Tsukune jumped down from a tree as he joined the general huddle of students walking into Youkai Academy, his eyes shifting all around him. I better get used to this school environment, I did tell myself that I'd stay here for the time being, Tsukune thought with a small drop of sweat. Until the holidays, Tsukune would not have a chance to report back to his peers in the Coalition about the school; this included not getting attacked by jealous monsters… which unfortunately was not going so well right now as he noticed the glares he was getting when Moka walked up to him. He waved at her and they both walked into school and took a seat on a nearby bench.
"Tsukune, I think it must be lonely to be the only human, but I'll be here for you. So if there's anything I can do for you, just tell me, ok?" Moka said with a seraphic smile as she gazed at him.
"Likewise, but why are you doing all this for me? Why? Because…" her face came closer to Tsukune's amongst the silence as he became more flustered. However, his face turned into one of pain, as she bit into his neck for blood.
"Oh no, whenever I'm with you, I just want to suck your blood," she said when she finished, as Tsukune started to run around in circles again as he came to terms with his blood loss.
"My blood got sucked again! I'm really starting to feel like food!" Tsukune shouted with disappointment as he ran away, a small spurt of blood randomly coming as he ran.
"Tsukune?" Moka replied with surprise, as he face filled with anxiety. She could only watch Tsukune's body disappear into the woods.
Oh man, I wish that didn't happen every time we're together. It makes me feel like some sort of drink… but if I avoid her, I'll just end up as a loner, Tsukue argued in his head as he walked to a more sinister part of the woods, his mind filled with conflicting thoughts. The sound of a voice nearby however, awakened him from his thoughts.
"Someone, is anybody there? I need help- I suddenly just started feeling ill," said a weak voice from near the ground.
Tsukune could now see the figure on the ground; it was a girl with sapphire blue hair, and she also wore a jumper. She was rather small, but her chest was relatively… well, big. I do attract some weird kind of interest, Tsukune thought with a small sigh as he helped the girl up.
"Are you okay? Let's go to the school infirmary," Tsukune said as he put his arms around her to support her.
"Thank you very much, I've always had a weak body… especially my chest- it just starts to hurt suddenly, so hold me tight like this," she said with a smile as she pressed her chest against him, much to his embarrassment.
No surprise she has problems with her chest… with the size and everything- wait, how is holding her going to help it? Tsukune considered with confusion as Kurumu tapped him.
"Look into my eyes, Tsukune-kun. I'm Kurono Kurumu, please be a good friend to me, okay?" her dark navy eyes shimmering as she spoke.
Wow, her eyes are pretty, why do I suddenly want to hold her? Tsukune thought with puzzlement, as his body was not complying with his thoughts. Wait a minute, oh, yeah, Youkai can do stuff like control others, so… must be a succubus, Tsukune deduced as he looked at the newly introduced Kurumu and her features. Trick to escaping the powers cast by Succubi, or anything like it… strong willpower and to think of something distracting to override the control… ah ha, I need a new sniper! That should override the power, Tsukune thought, as he broke free of the succubus' influence. By the look of Kurumu's surprised face, Tsukune guessed that his tactics had worked, however, even he did not notice Moka watching from afar.
Who is that girl? What is she to Tsukune? Holding eachother like that… they really looked like lovers. But I shouldn't take this as a shock, Moka mused as she looked down to the floor. All I end up doing, is wanting to suck his blood- I don't know why, Moka said to herself in her head as she remembered what Tsukune had said earlier.
Hey stop, now is not the time to feel down… you are being targeted, an unfamiliar voice said in her head, leaving her in confusion as she tried to figure out the source of the voice.
"You are a vampire right? That's what the rumours say anyways, Moka Akashiya-san," a voice said from above, as Moka looked up to see a small bluish-purple haired girl jump down to where she was.
"You were the one with Tsukune earlier," Moka said in surprise as she recognised the girl. Around them, a small crowd was forming as people started chatting and cheering amongst themselves, all of them making comments on both of the girls' appearance and the prospect of a catfight happening.
"I am the succubus, Kurono Kurumu," the other girl introduced herself.
"And, I am here to defeat you, for you are the biggest eyesore in the way of my great plan," she said with annoyance, much to the confusion of Moka & everybody else who was present.
"My plan is to make every member of the male student body at this academy my complete slaves- the Youkai Academy Harem Transformation plan! Everyone should've been a slave to my beauty, but thanks to you, their dreams are filled your presence rather than mine. I will not lose in a battle of feminine charm," she stated determinedly as she tried to loom over the taller Moka.
"Looks like they're having a heated argument," said one of the boys in fear as he looked at the two of them pointing at eachother, his thoughts being mirrored by the others in the group.
"In order to prove that I'm better than you, I'll steal Aono Tsukune from you," Kurumu declared as her arms pointed to the ground.
"I knew it from the moment we were really close earlier… he really has a good scent… just like a human," she continued as she put one hand on her hip. Then, she pointed towards Moka, her eyes filled with triumph.
"You're using him as food aren't you? His blood must be delicious then right? When he's taken away from you, your face will be a sight to see".
"Moka-san, there you are. Sorry for running of earlier, and there's something I'd like to apologise for…" Tsukune started as he ran towards them, however Kurumu got to him, pouncing towards him, again ending up tightly squeezing him.
"Thank you for earlier, Tsukune-kun," Kurumu said with a smile as she looked up towards him, while his arms were flailing in every direction.
"You make a awfully happy face… for someone who's worried about somebody else…" Moka responded with quiet fury as a strong aura gathered around her.
"You're being tricked by her, so get that girl off you!" Moka said with desperation.
"How can you say such a thing… oh no, I'm getting dizzy again," Kurumu said as she closed her eyes and fell into Tsukune's arms. Charm. She tried to use charm again, but this did not work on Tsukune, just like the first time- unfortunately, if charm did not work the first time, then it wouldn't work the consecutive times after either.
"Moka, she's not going to do anything- you can't be antisocial like that…" Tsukune said in a stern voice, making Moka look teary. Unfortunately, Tsukune could do nothing as Moka ran off, upset at what happened.
I finally did it; I made that annoying Moka cry… even if it wasn't in the way that I wanted. Now I just gotta make Tsukune-kum my slave, then I'll win- I'll have to do it by any means necessary, Kurumu thought with triumph and mischief.
Tsukune on the other hand, just had a feeling of angst, as he really wanted to make up with Moka; maybe I should've listened to her… especially since she said she'd be there for me- this succubus girl is making me suspicious as well, Tsukune thought as he looked around, observant of any imminent attacks.
"Tsukune-kun…" Tsukune turned around to face Kurumu, but was faced with the sight of her breasts as she hugged him. "You're sad aren't you, Tsukune-kun? I'll make it up to you, and make you feel all better…" she said lovingly.
Her lips got closer to Tsukune's as she moved in for the decisive kiss; although Tsukune was able to fight off the charm, kissing her would probably be a bad idea since she was a succubus- this is a rough thought process that was going on in his head. She thought she was there, but was surprised to feel Tsukune just hugging her.
"I'm sorry, I can't. I don't want to betray someone (and you're a succubus so, a kiss is very suspicious from your species)," Tsukune said to Kurumu with a look of sadness as he started to push her off him.
"Do you really hate me so much? Even after all the things I did for you- is she that much better?" Kurumu's voice rung of anger and Tsukune was pushed away. Wings started to protrude from her back and claws& a tail were also forming from her body.
Now, we have a really pissed Succubus, isn't that great? He thought as he started to reach for the katana on his back.
"Stop it!" Moka's voice came from the door as she rushed in and pushed Kurumu with her vampiric strength.
"Get your claws off Tsukune!" she shouted while she pushed Kurumu.
Damn, even though her power is sealed, she is still got soo much strength, Tsukune thought with surprise and a hint of worry. The window was smashed, and Tsukune guessed that Kurumu was now waiting to attack them.
"What's going on, Moka? Did her switch flick or something?" Tsukune asked, as he reflected on what had happened.
"Sorry Tsukune, that girl wants revenge and in order to get it, she's targeted you," Moka explained with regret in her voice. Both of them ran to the window, as the sound of flapping wings (like a bird) came closer.
"A vampire's power really is something- being thrown so far. Don't worry, I'll return the favour by killing you both," she announced with vehemence.
Both of them jumped to the ground, and Moka was first to speak: "Take the rosary off my chest, Tsukune, the unsealed me will take on her," Moka stated as Kurumu came down swooping and laughing at the same time. Tsukune had to carry Moka bridal style to dodge her; don't want to be sliced like butter, thanks. The trees around them however, were not so lucky, left in halves. When Tsukune pulled the rosary however, nothing happened.
"Why is it not coming off…?" Moka said with worry as Kurumu came diving in for another strike.
"Guess this is the only way…" Tsukune said as he started to unsheathe his katana with his free hand. Moka however, stood up and put her arms around him.
"Moka?"
"Tsukune is my precious friend, and it has nothing to do with blood. So if you're going fight someone, just fight me!" Moka declared with determination as Kurumu only smirked, as she got closer.
"Damn, you're making me look bad Moka and I'm definitely not a burden to you- don't worry I'll try her," Tsukune said as he pushed Moka out of the way and sliced in a sideward motion to ward of Kurumu. Wait… what's that on my hand? Tsukune looked down at his hands- it was the rosary. For fuck's sake, is that thing glued to my hand or something? Once again, a bright light surrounded them all as a strong aura began to manifest itself. Kurumu could only watch in horror as the pink-haired girl she saw up until a few seconds ago, was transforming into something more sinister. It was a true vampire.
"Don't mess around with me, you are in the way of my destined encounter- one that will stop our species from dying out. So I can't let you get away with it no matter what!" Kurumu shouted, however, one could notice the small hint of fear in her voice. She charged in, trying to get a killer blow.
"You can't let me do this, so you dare bear your fangs at the likes of me? Frail egoistical woman… realise your place!" the unsealed Moka said, her eyes glinting the whole time. Expertly, she dodged Kurumu's attack and grabbed her tail; "why don't I rip these wings and tail of yours so you can never fly again?" Moka said with an evil smirk as Kurumu screamed. Moka slammed her into the ground.
"Am I too difficult for you? Though you act like a little devil, you're still a naïve little girl! I'll make it so you can never stand up to me again…" she said with scorn as she pointed to the crying succubus, her arms flying into a forceful punch aimed towards the succubus.
Tsukune landed in between both of them, holding the rosary, and blocking Moka's attack. Heh, this is very, very strong… Moka really knows how to put power into her punch, he strained a little but smiled a little. He loved having at least a strong chance against most Youkai.
"What is this? Move! This woman tried to not only trick you, but also kill you at the same time," Moka pointed out with a stern voice.
"This is enough- I don't think Kurumu-san was actually doing this out of purely bad intentions. I can't see her as being a bad girl at heart," Tsukune pointed out honestly as a drop of sweat came down.
"Just like how we can rely on you, Moka".
"You're an interesting one, boy… but don't misunderstand, I just didn't want your blood to be taken away from me- I'm not like the other Moka," she stated bluntly as she put the rosary back on.
Well, that was certainly interesting, Tsukune reflected with a slight chuckle.
