Chapter 11: Justice
"… no, you don't have to- the job and school are pretty good. I might spend some more time here; there are some great people here and it's really fun. You don't need to worry about me, I can take care of myself remember. Thanks for calling, mum- tell dad I said hello. Yeah, I will keep in touch," Tsukune said as he put down the phone. Good thing I also got in touch with my parents as well as the Coalition, Tsukune thought, happy at hearing his family members.
"Tsukune- boo!" shouted a voice from behind as he jumped into the ceiling, the small pieces falling down. When he'd gotten to his feet (somehow), he saw that it was Moka.
"Was that your parents, Tsukune?" Moka asked with curiosity.
Wiping the dust and some plaster off himself, he looked towards her. "Oh yeah, it was, good for me to hear that they were fine," Tsukune replied with a smile.
"Someday, I'd like to go to your house and see what it's like," Moka declared with a small smile and blush, as Tsukune walked into the wall in surprise.
"Maybe it's not possible… since I'm different from your family and yourself, I'm not even human after all," Moka stated sadly.
"Definitely not! It's not like that- in fact my parents would be pleased to meet someone like you," he replied quickly as they walked into the cafeteria. Wow, Moka-san coming to my house… if I ever brought someone like that to my home, my parents would die from shock, Tsukune thought as he glanced at the pink-haired vampire.
"You know, I'm kinda glad that I entered this academy, because I was able to get closer to you Moka-san, Kurumu-chan, and everyone else is really kind to me- I'm sure things will be alright from here, and I get to enjoy some more time with everyone," Tsukune said with a smile as he picked up a bowl to eat from.
The next morning, the newspaper club and Tsukune himself were outside, promoting their newspapers. Like angels, the girls stood out, shining amongst the rather dull landscape, as all eyes were on them.
"Please take a copy of the school newspaper we made. It has cases like the disappearance of female students a week ago, as well as many other happenings," they said as they held out a newspaper.
Many of the students ran in a mad dash to get a newspaper, many of them having a love-struck face. Even their voices became a bit more sinister. Tsukune could now see Yukari being chased by a bunch of lolicons, and Gin coming over to them.
"As a club leader, shouldn't you be helping as well, Gin-sempai?" Tsukune asked, a small smirk on his face as he wondered what Gin would reply with.
"Oh please, that is the job of the underlings… I have better stuff to do (and watch)," Gin replied, pointing towards them with a dodgy smile.
"The only thing sempai is interested in, is the H stuff," Yukari added with a smile of disgust.
"A bit like a stray dog during mating season," she finished as Gin walked up to her.
"As if a flat-chested girl like you was good from anything but badmouthing people," he said as he pointed at the girl's chest, one of his veins popping. Tsukune didn't really hear the rest of the conversation, but he did hear the word 'sexual harassment', and a washtub dropping on someone. However, his attention was drawn by the sound of movement and shouting fifteen metres ahead of him. It was a group of around seven to eight people dressed in dark clothes, and all of them had a menacing aura to them.
"Salutations, I am Kuyou, the manager of the Public Safety Commission, pleased to make your acquaintance," one of the people in this group said; he had long blonde hair, and had pointy ears as well as a piercing gaze.
"So, what can we do for you nice people?" Tsukune asked, expecting something bad to happen as Gin also walked towards the front.
"Huhu, so you're the newspaper club. Your work is quite good… however, who gave you permission to hand out a newspaper with these contents- we don't recall having inspected this," Kuyou said, as everyone looked in shock. His face turned from his normal smile to something else as he kicked the table with newspapers on it.
"This can cause problems for us! A gang like you going around selfishly doing things, and disturbing the peace & order of the school!" he shouted as newspapers fell all around them.
"What are you doing?!" Tsukune shouted in surprise, but he was not listened to.
"We, the Public Safety Commission, protect the piece at this academy- anything done here requires permission from us, no exceptions. We will continue to crack down on unapproved activity in the future!" Kuyou said sternly as Kurumu reached out to the newspaper.
"Hey stop it! All we were doing was handing out these newspapers!" she pleaded as a purple-haired girl stepped in. The girl spat out a weird white substance that was now wrapped around Kurumu's right wrist.
"I see the newspaper club is filled with lowlifes as always- nothing's changed from last year then…" she giggled slightly, much to everyone's annoyance.
"Don't think you can keep disturbing the piece at this academy," the purple-haired girl stated as she steeped on the newspapers, tearing them up.
"We aren't going to let you off so easily if you do something like this again- remember that!" they stated as they started to walk off.
"Wait up! You forgot your going-away present!" a voice said as a flash passed and kicked the purple-haired girl and another member, knocking them into the trees. The students looked around in surprise as Tsukune stood amongst the dust.
"Hmpf, for a public safety commission, your sense of justice is very twisted- you can smell the hypocrisy and contradictions in your words from a mile of, so I had to reply to what you guys have said," Tsukune stated with a chuckle as he unsheathed his katana.
"If you have anything to say, then my katana will love to hear it," he stated mockingly.
The public safety members glared at him in surprise, then looked at Kuyou, their leader; one of their members was unconscious, whereas another was lightly injured.
"That was a good kick boy, but still not enough," the purple girl said as she got up from the trunk of a tree, her face slightly cut.
"Maybe I should return the favour-" she was cut off by Kuyou himself.
"We withdraw for now, we can't be demonstrating violence here, the other students would speak up against us," he stated as they walked away.
"Are you okay Kurumu-chan? That sticky stuff looks hard to get off- but I don't think that's the last we've seen of them," Tsukune said as all the other students started to gossip amongst themselves.
"Ironic really, they're police but they act like the Yakuza," Tsukune said with a small laugh as he sat around the table with Moka, Kurumu, and Yukari.
"We can't stop handing out the newspapers, even if Gin-sempai said so! We worked hard together to make those…" Kurumu said sadly.
"But you heard him, and you saw what they were like, these guys are dangerous, and if we carry on, we'll end up like last year's newspaper club," Yukari argued with a ominous tone.
"I think we shouldn't carry on, Kurmu-chan- we might end up getting badly hurt," Moka said with a sad look as she looked at Kurumu. Kurumu however, was not going to be out off…
"To have something that we worked so hard for, trampled underfoot for no reason… I really can't back down or forgive those public safety people," Kuruku declared with tears in her eyes as she picked up the last box of newspapers.
But, it was not to be as thread from the trees latched onto the box, and took it off them.
"It seems you're intent on disobeying us, newspaper club! So I'll crush you right here," the purple-haired girl, Keito, said as she jumped down from the trees.
"Wait! We haven't even done anything wrong, and aren't your enemies, so why are you doing this?!" Tsukune tried to rationalise with the public safety member, but it was to no avail.
"Perhaps you don't know, but we've been monitoring the newspaper club since last year and before- it is a club that threatens the public safety commission. Through their wild delusions and stupid criticisms of us, they thought they could change the academy… but, our purge was very successful," she stated with a dark smile.
"So, you talk all this stuff about keeping the peace, but aren't you the only ones trying to attack right now?! It'd be fine if we could just be allowed to continue our club activities like normal, why can't you just leave us alone?!" Tsukune asked in frustration, as Keito's face twitched slightly.
"Who do you think you are, you little brats?!" she shouted as she threw the newspapers into a nearby furnace.
"Well, seems like your newspaper is good for something after all," she added, looking at the fire.
Threads shot out from her mouth, as she began to attack out of nowhere; Tsukune dodged all of them, but Kurumu was not so lucky as she was wrapped tightly around a tree. Looks like I'm going to have to bait this Youkai, Tsukune reasoned as he slowed down, to let himself be caught by the threads.
"You really have to be more obedient… by the way, we as the Public Safety Commission, are allowed to use our powers to protect the academy," she said as weird spider-like legs came of her torso.
No way, it's a Jorougumo! I haven't seen one of these in a while! Tsukune thought with slight amusement, as he was wrapped around with more threads. Just as his hand was about to be wrapped up, he threw a small knife that sliced Kurmu's ropes.
"Kurumu-chan, go get some help! I'll get myself out of this somehow," he said as he glanced up at the girl who was turning more and more spider-like before him.
"I'm going to drink all your bodily fluids. Just to show what happens to people who defy us!" the Jorougumo said, as her pincers got closer. At least Kurumu got away, he thought as he saw Kurumu flying off at top speed to get help. He was slowly closing his eyes waiting for death, when his inner voice came to him once again: no, no, no, hehehehe, boy, you cannot die yet, for it means that I will also die… behold the power that runs through many millennia, and the veins of Hell… the voice whispered with a chuckle as Tsukune's arms started to glow crimson red under the threads, much to Keito's surprise.
That pause in movement was all Tsukune needed, as the threads started to burn off, and in that instant, Tsukune unleashed a massive uppercut, and a mid-air roundhouse kick to the face.
"Sorry, but I have no intention of being food for spiders," Tsukune shrugged coolly as he wiped off the dust. It seemed like he had enhanced strength and speed this time, as he quickly dodged the threads aimed at him- this power is definitely inhuman then. Out of his pockets, he got out tow Desert Eagles and charged firing at the same time as he then put out his left shoulder, barging the helpless Keito into a nearby storeroom.
"As always, this power seriously does some crazy stuff," he stated plainly as he looked at his incapacitated opponent.
Elsewhere, in a dark room, Kuyou stood, annoyance displayed on his face.
"So Keito was defeated… then there's even more reason to destroy the newspaper club!" Kuyou shouted as his hands rose up in arrogance.
"And you say Aono Tsukune is human eh? Hmpf, we will extort our revenge from him in particular," Kuyou finished with an evil smirk as he looked at the mysterious woman with long braids and a bandana.
Hi everyone, here is another chapter. I altered it a bit from the original manga but I hope it is still good enough to be comprehendible. Sorry for not writing yesterday, I just didn't feel like it yesterday (the weather, injury… could be anything). Please review if you can, and next chapter will probably be tomorrow, so enjoy this one for now, thanks!
