Chapter 4

Friday morning found Tsukune feeling mentally tired. Physically he felt great. His body felt energetic and he didn't have a single sore muscle. The fatigue he was feeling was from the last thirty some-odd hours of dealing with his friends. Kurumu was, as always, trying to get as physically close as she possibly could to him, but she wasn't being so aggressive. Tsukune had to admit that her breasts were easier to admire when they were not smothering him, but he was wondering what had the succubus' mind so preoccupied that it made her mellow out. In contrast, Mizore had become more touchy-feely, always trying to hold his hand or rub up against him. Yukari, when she wasn't lost in thought, and from her face some of those thoughts made Tsukune a little apprehensive, was acting the same as always. Even Moka appeared to have had a change in behavior.

The cute vampire always had a smile for Tsukune, but he had also noticed a tightness around her eyes as well. She would also blush more often when they were together. The last time the Kurumu had put herself between Moka and Tsukune the vampire scowled, but didn't do any more then that.. The whole thing was making Tsukune wonder.

In addition to the changes in his friends, Tsukune had been noticing things about himself. Studying the book that Lord Brone had given him, Tsukune was how to use his youki to help his body. He had already learned that if her could channel it during activities he had far more energy, strength, and endurance. He had also come to learn that if he pulled upon his youki after exercise he could wash away the fatigue and even heal minor aches and bruises. Trying to hold himself in a focused state so he could pull out that power quickly had the unfortunate effect of raising his youki, making some class mates and dorm neighbors wonder if her was upset about something. Of course all of this was happening while he still had to go to school, study, and do homework.

But it was Friday morning and Tsukune was determined to make the most of the day if he could. He left the dorm early and headed for a small clearing in the near by woods. He arrived only minutes before Moka. In that time he had gathered his youki energy and tried to concentrate it in his heart and blood. The effect made him feel a little light headed and he could hear his own heart beat in his ears.

"Good morning, Tsukune," Moka greeted him when she arrived.

"Good morning, Moka," He said with a smile.

"Tsukune," She smiled back.

"Moka," He held out his arms to her.

"Tsukune," She stepped in to embrace him. She felt his arms enfold her and thrilled at the close contact as they came together. She looked into his eyes and felt the heat of blushing rise in her cheeks. His eyes were filled with warmth and kindness, and he smelled so good. "Tsukune…" He smelled really good.

"Yes," He said softly and tilted his head a little to his right.

Moka's willpower was nonexistent. She closed her mouth on Tsukune's neck and bit into his flesh. She thrilled at the taste of his blood, and the rush of energy that it carried into her body made her feel hot. She hugged him tightly and let herself savor the moment.

When Moka finished her drink she held on to Tsukune, wanting to enjoy his presence a while longer. She leaned back in his embrace enough to look into his face again. He was smiling gently at her. She wanted to let him know just how much she appreciated what he gave her so willingly. She looked at his lips and felt her heart skip a beat.

'No!' Inner Moka Growled.

'Why not?" Moka thought back.

'It is too soon,' Insisted the inner voice. 'I don't want him to get too familiar with my body.

'It is my body too, and I want to kiss him.'

'Now is not the time, and here is not the place.'

'It's not like a single kiss is going to hurt you.'

'Soon,' Inner Moka said. 'But not now.'

'Fine,' Moka mentally sighed. "Thank you, Tsukune," She said out loud. "For everything."

Tsukune and company arrived together in time for homeroom. All through the day he kept stealing glances of Moka and wondered about what he was seeing. When ever they made eye contact she would smile shyly and sometimes blush. When she didn't know he was looking Tsukune saw her face cycling through emotions. She would frown, and pout, and scowl, and sometimes give little shakes of her head. Whatever was going on in her head didn't keep her from taking notes and following what the teachers were saying.

Durring breaks between classes Kurumu seamed to be in a hurry. Because she had been preoccupied, Tsukune thought, being in a hurry made her clumsy. He tripped over her own feet every couple of steps, often falling against other students. She took a spill on the stairs on the way to lunch that bumped her on top of a trio of first year students; two boys and a girl. Tsukune thought it was hilarious to watch, once he was sure nobody was hurt. One of the boys had gotten a face full of Kurumu boobs. When she tried to get off of him she put her hand on the breast of the first year girl, making her cry out and jerk away. This made Kurumu overbalance. She had to put her hands down to keep from falling over, accidentally putting her palm on the second boy's fly. That boy immediately turned bright red and tried to grab her wrist, even as he brought his knees up.

His movements pulled her off balance again, just as she was getting her feet under her, dropping her over, breasts foremost, in to the face of the girl. The girl tried to push the breasts away, making Kurumu give out a little squeal. The succubus finally got her hand free from the second boy, who rolled to his side while curled up in a ball as if her was in pain. The first year girl finally got a chance to breath whe the succubus managed to sit up. Her next attempt to stand put Kurumus foot down on the first boy's hand. He yelled out and Kurumu did a little hop to get her weight off of him, which made her stumble and fall again.

This time there was a roar of laughter from students that saw the poor boy's head disappear under Kurumu's skirt. The first year girl screamed at the new predicament. Kurumu half wiggled and half crawled backwards until she was kneeling over the boy's lap. The boy was red faced and dazed and his classmate was in a state over what had happened. She lurched at Kurumu to try to get her away from the boy. The succubus gave a small cry of frustration and grappled with her attacker. The two girls pushed and pulled back and forth, until Kurumu rocked backwards on her perch over the boy's lap, pulling the other girl off balance. The first year girl half fell on top of Kurumu, planting her face in her breasts. The succubus pushed the girl away, and suddenly the boy had two girls sitting on him.

His classmate was over his face and he flailed his arms about trying to dislodge her. The girl grabbed at Kurumu, desperate for a hand hold she could use to get off of the boy. She finally succeeded in getting off of her classmate, and Kurumu went with her as they both fell sideways. The landed in an awkward embrace and Kurumu rolled on to her back, pulling the girl over on top of her. The two girls had their legs tangled and were breathing heavy from the short scuffle. Finally the younger girl was able to extract herself and she bolted for the sanctuary of the nearest girls restroom.

Unencumbered, Kurumu was able to quickly get to her feet. She stood for a moment, between the two first year boys who were both curled up, red faced, holding their groins, and straitened out her uniform. Then, as if the whole incident had never happened she calmly walked towards the cafeteria for lunch, with a small smile on her face.

Tsukune made it to the last class of the day. Kurumu had continued to be clumsy, but only seamed upset about it when Yukari made fun of her for it. The little witch had been spending the day being overly nice to Tsukune and Moka, to the point that they were both a little frustrated. Tsukune suspected that she was trying to protect her imaginary place as the third member of their future marriage.

Class started when Nekonome arrived. The teacher stalked into the room five minutes after the class was scheduled to begin. Her ears were laid back and her tail lashed back and forth. The entire class recognized that she was in a bad mood. She slapped her attendance book down on the lectern and launched right into the day's lesson without any warning, forcing the students to scramble to keep up.

As the class continued Nekonome's mood cooled a little. She was nearly back to her normal self as she explained the weekend assignment for the students.

"Pardon the intrusion," A voice said from the door, followed by the appearance of a woman in a short dress.

The woman had classical Japanese features and long, dark, silky hair. Her skin was almost as white as Mizore's. Her almond shaped eyes had a small tilt to them and were a deep green. Her athletic looking body had well developed curves that attracted the attention of most of the boys in the room. At her arrival Nekonome's tail bristled and her ears lay back again.

"I am teaching class," Nekonom growled at the intruder.

"I'm sorry," The woman said with a hint of a smile. "I will wait until you are done."

Nekonome gave out the weekend homework in a tight voice. As soon as the bell rang signaling the end of class she snatched up her attendance book and stalked out of the classroom.

"Sorry for the intrusion," The woman spoke again as the students started to gather their books and other belongings.

She walked across the front of the classroom with a sway to her hips that attracted the eyes of most of the boys, and some of the girls. The look in her eyes reminded Tsukune of Inner Moka and immediately decided that the woman was dangerous. The woman smiled at the students in a way that was open to interpretation.

"Aono Tsukune," The woman said.

"Here," He answered reflexively. After which he wanted to sink into his seat and hide because the boys in the class shot jealous, angry looks at him.

"Of course you are," She wet her lips. "You and your friends are to come with me. The Board Chairman sent me."

"Yes," Tsukune got to his feet, feeling his stomach sink.

Once the members of the Newspaper club were out of the classroom they were joined by Ruby, who was guiding the woman through the school. The general population of Youkai Academy was in the corridors headed for the exits, most looking forward to the weekend. The friends stayed close together as they move through the throng. Tsukune had managed to catch Moka's hand. Yukari was holding on to Moka's sleeve. Tsukune's other hand was being held double by Kurumu while Mizore held on to his blazer's hem.

The group arrived in an open room adjacent to the Board Chairman's office. Inside the room stood two doorways that were not built into any walls. Between the doors waited Lord Brone and Lady Tara

"It is good to see you again," Lord Brone said in a warm voice. "Today my friend Sakura as agreed to join us."

"It is a pleasure to meet you all," The woman said with a small bow. "I will be joining you ladies to help with your training."

"You will follow me," Lady Tara said. She walked through the door to her right and disappeared to the training ground on the other side.

"Let's go," Sakura said in a more friendly voice.

Sakura followed Moka, Mizore, and Kurumu through the doorway.

"Shall we get started?" Lorde Brone said as she started for the door at his left.

"I will be working with Ms. Moka," Lady Tara said. "Sakura is her to help you two," She made a small gesture towards Kurumu and Mizore.

"I was asked to come here because you both use claws to fight," She said to the two school girls as the vampires headed off into the nocturnal forest. "I also use claws." Showing the truth of her words the woman transformed into a cat person. Her coat was silky black and her nails were long and sharp looking. "I am going to help you learn how to use your claws for more then just wild slashes."

Moka stood holding Belmont and watched the vampire woman as she performed a lazy stretch. He didn't trust the woman and was on guard for any sudden movements.

"Your fighting skills are adequate," Tara said. "Only practice and time will improve them. I suggest you get your other self to work on developing fighting skills to. What you need to learn is how to use your Youki better."

"In what way?" Moka asked.

"You must learn to channel it. All you are doing now is letting it wash over your opponents, weakening them with their own fears and doubts when they feel it. If they do not fear you, or if they have a strong confidence in themselves, then your enemies will not be effected by your aura. Today I will teach you how to perform two youki skills. Now watch closely."

The woman planted her feet and centered her balance, as if she was getting ready to attack or defend. She smiled broadly and let out her youki. The demon aura washed over Moka who stood her ground. As she watched, the woman seamed to fade from sight, becoming a flickering shadow of herself. Moka tried to shake her head to clear it of the other vampire's youku, but that just made her loose eye contact with her. Lady Tara had disappeared.

"That was called the Fade," The voice of Lady Tara came from all directions. "You use your youki to out pressure on you target's mind, clouding their vision."

Moka looked around, but could see no sign of the woman. She tried to detect her presence through her youki, but that was useless because it was everywhere at once. Finally she tried cracking Belmont through the space where Lady Tara had last been standing. The whip snapped out, ashing through empty air.

"This is called the Shroud," Lady Tara said in a mocking tone. "It is an expansion on the same trick used to Fade. With it you can move unseen." Suddenly she reappeared, standing just a few feet away from where she had been before. "Any time you use Fade, you should move right away. Too many enemies will try to attack you where they last saw you. Now," She smiled. "It is your turn."

Tsukune breathed hard as he rested from his first exercises with Lord Brone. The large man had taught Tsukune something he had called 'Indian Wrestling. It was like arm wrestling, but done standing up and with each person's forward leg crossed with the opponent's. Tsukune got tossed to the sand the first time without any chance of avoiding that fate. After that he used his youki to empower his body. As he faced off with Lord Brone the man had kept up a string of instructions. Tsukune still got tossed to the sand three more times, but at least he had managed to put up enough of a fight that Lord Brone was forced to breath hard. He finally had a chance to take a break while the man talked with the witches.

Yukari and Ruby had started their training using levitated objects to attack and defend, with ruby doing most of the attacking. Lord Brone then gave them a new task. With a wave of his hand he projected a barrier that could turn aside their attacks. After teaching the basics he had the witches take turns building barriers and testing them. When he saw that they were getting into the lesson he returned to Tsukune.

"By the way," He said as she crouched next to Tsukune. "From the gossip going around I head some congratulations are in order."

"Um, thank you," Tsukune said

"You are in for an uphill battle, Tsukune, but don't lose heart."

"I just hope I don't disappoint her."

"Just keep working hard. Speaking of which, let me teach you how to use your Youki in another way."
