Chapter 13
Yukari was out in front of the dorms at first light. She had been prevented from following Tsukune by Moka and Mizore and was sure that the boob monster was up to something. She had tried to listen outside Kurumu's door, but there were too many witness about. Besides, she couldn't her anything because the dorms were too noisy. She had to settle for making multiple trips where she could linger for a few minutes at a time. She even gone to knock on Tsukune's door once, to see if he had already gone back to his room. Nobody answered, and all the guys looked at her funny so she didn't hang around at all. Finally curfew rolled around and Yukari had to admit defeat for the night. She stayed up late to finish the assignments she had neglected while playing stalker, now she was pacing in the early morning fog waiting to see which building Tsukune would emerge from.
It was an unusual morning for Tsukune. He left his room at his usual time so that he could meet with Moka, only to discover Yukari already hanging on to the pink haired vampire. While he was still exchanging morning pleasantries Mizore and Kurumu caught up to them. As a group they went to class.
All day long Yukari sought Tsukune out at every opportunity to question him about his time alone with Kurumu. Each time, he politely told her that if she wanted to know she should ask Kurumu and not him. In truth, Tsukune wanted to tell Moka about the evening, at least in part, because he owed her his loyalty, but he wasn't going to say a word in front of the excitable and curious Yukari. From the little witch's persistence Kurumu knew that Tsukune was being discrete about their encounter.
As the group returned to the dorms at the end of the day Yukari was still trying to dig out some answers. Out side of the dorms they were met by six students in black uniforms.
"Aono Tsukune," The leader of the squad from the Public Safety Commission called out. "You are to come with us. You are accused of violating the rules for student conduct in the dorms."
"You cannot be serious," Tsukune groaned. Around him he felt his friend's Youki rising.
"You will be detained while we investigate the charges."
"You're not taking Tsukune anywhere," Kurumu declared, the others only a heartbeat behind her.
"He has been reported going to the girls' dormitory on repeated occasions and entering the rooms of multiple students. Illicit relationships are forbidden under school rules."
"He visited my room," Moka said. "Nothing improper ever happened."
"He has come to my room," Kurumu added. "And he never so mush as kissed me."
"Really?" Yukari spoke up.
"He's been to my room," Mizore said.
"Then you confess," The squad leader said.
"Nothing illicit happened," Tsukune demanded.
"Then why would you need to visit three different girls in their room? Everybody in school knows about your harem."
"Careful," Tsukune warned.
"Tsukune is our glass manager," Moka spoke up. "He brought Mizore back from continued absence. Our homeroom teacher told him to take care of her."
"Tsukune was helping with my homework last night," Kurumu put in. "I am barely passing. And need help."
"Moka is the vice manager," Yukari chimed in. "Naturally she is the one he would see if he was worried about anyone on the class."
"You're all lying to protect each other," The squad leader insisted. "We are still detaining Aono."
Tsukune looked at the crowd of students that had gathered in front of the dorms. He knew that he and his friends could beat back the six black uniformed students, but he was wooried about possible casualties from the bystanders. Tsukune wanted to avoid and innocents getting hurt.
"I have done nothing without the support of the Board Chairman," Tsukune declared. "If you don't believe me then go check with him."
"That is an easy claim for you to make. The Board Chairman is not in the school right now."
So that was it. Tsukune understood why they had not made a strong-arm move recently.
"Then ask his assistant," Tsukune said calmly. "I'll wait right here."
"We already know what she will say," The squad leader scoffed. "She is another of your little whores."
"Wha!" A collective gasp went up from the crowd. One second the PSC squad leader was standing in front of his cronies, and the next Tsukune was there with his fist in the air, but the squad leader was gone.
"Oh, Tsukune," Moka was alarmed at the sudden flair up of his youki.
A moment later the squad leader fell out of the sky and landed in front of Tsukune, looking like a broken doll.
Tsukune looked at each of the remaining black uniformed students. His eyes burned with anger and his youki made the air around him shimmer. The commission members broke and fled.
"Tsukune," Moka said, her voice trembling with worry. She had not seen him this upset sense they had been trapped at the beginning of the year.
Hearing his name he turned around slowly. The presence of his Youki washed over his friends. It was only for a moment before it started to ebb, but they could tell it was ragged and uncontrolled
"Are you all alright?" He asked with a voice that sounded like an angry growl.
Everybody assured him that they were fine, even as the watched him with a mix of fear, worry and fascination. His eyes were red and his hair had silver rippling through it. Black lines faded in and out around his eyes, his neck, and his clenched fists. His youki was not going down fast enough and it was starting to change his body.
"Tsukune?" Moka started to move closer to him.
"Moka?" He smiled a little but it was just his lips. The rest of his face looked hard as stone.
"Are you alright," She moved closer.
"Yes," He said without emotion.
Moka got close enough to rest her fingers on his chest. She felt his heart beating like a drum. It thundered in his chest and she wondered that it didn't burst. Moka looked at the others for help. Yukari looked frightened and Kurumu looked like she felt sick.
"Mizore," Moka called. "Help me."
"Yes," The snow maiden moved forward. She was afraid, but she knew she could not give in. She resisted the urge to run from Tsukune's raging youki and was soon next to Moka.
The two shared a brief look and a determined nod. Moka reached up and pulled herself up to Tsukune's neck. She bit into his flesh and drew his blood and his youki into herself. At the same time, Mizore wrapped her arms around Tsukune and drew in his Warmth. The two of them used their own youkai natures to draw down Tsukune's youki.
Moka didn't know how long it took. She had to bite him three more times because his youki kept healing him, a little slower each time. She was worried that she would not be able to take enough from him, at the same time she was frightened that she would take too much. She didn't even realized that she was crying, whether from fear or the burning ecstasy that was running through her body, until she felt Tsukune's arm wrap around her gently.
"Moka? Mizore?" Tsukune looked down at the two girls he was holding. Both of them had tears in their eyes and their youki was like two storms. "I think I am alright now. Thank you."
"What happened?"
Tsukune looked up to see Ruby land a short distance away. As soon as her feet touched the ground, a scared and shaken Yukari rushed to embrace her.
"Oh Ruby," Yukari rushed to explain what had happened.
The Board Chairman's assistant saw the injured squad leader still climbing to his feet against a tree near by; His kappa nature clearly showing.
Kurumu saw the haggard state of Moka and Mizore. She decided that action was called for.
"Ruby," Kurumu took charge. "You help Tsukune back to his room. Yukari, you help Mizore. I will take care of Moka."
"Why do I have to help Mizore?" Yukari protested. She would much rather help tend to ether Tsukune or Moka. She liked the idea of helping ether one undress for bed.
"Because Mizore lives on the ground floor," Kurumu pointed out. "You don't have to worry about possibly having to carry her up ant stairs." Kurumu didn't want to mention the disturbing amount of lust that came from the girl when she looked at the other two.

Moka stood in her kitchenette, under the watchful eyes of Kurumu, with her hand under the running tap. The flowing water grounded out her youki, helping her to come down from the rush of power she had taken from Tsukune. When the dizziness subsided and her body started to feel close to normal again, Moka turned off the tap and dried her hand. She walked on rubbery legs across her room and let herself drop onto the bed gracelessly.
"Ahhh," She side, letting her body go limp.
"Are you feeling better?" Kurumu asked.
"Ah-ha," Moka answered. "I just never held that much youki before."
"You were starting to look like Inner Moka. Your hair was white on its way to silver."
"Really?" Moka giggle."No wonder she has such an attitude problem."
Kurumu snorted as she tried to suppress a laugh.
"Kurumu," Moka said in a tired voice. "Thank you."
"You're welcome," She said. "And thank you for yesterday."
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"I don't know what is going on between you and Tsukune, but you let me be alone with him yesterday. Thank you for that."
"You're welcome. I admit that I was a little worried, but I trust Tsukune."
"So Do I," Kurumu said softly.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"You should leave," Mizore said as soon as she was in her room. "Just close the door."
"Are you going to be alright?" Yukari asked.
"I just need to rest," Mizore crossed to her bed while the temperature in the room fell. Every surface was covered with frost in seconds.
"See you tomorrow," Yukari hurried to leave as she felt her self start to shiver. She slammed the door in her rush.
"So warm," Mizore breathed. "Mmmmmm Tsukuneā¦"
XXXXXXXX
"Ruby, I said I was fine," Tsukune protested as the witch unlocked his door. "Wait a minuteā¦" He patted his pocket and felt his key there. "Oh. You have a master key because of your job."
"No," Ruby smiled as she gently pushed him into his dorm room. "I just have a copy of your key." She closed the door behind them and locked it.
"Ruby?" Tsukune wondered.
"I'll leave any time you want to make me," She smiled at him. "But until then just do as I say."
"Yes mistress Ruby," Tsukune joked.
"Oh," Ruby smiled wider "You are a smart one."
It didn't mater how much he argued, or how he tried to defend himself. Ruby managed to undress Tsukune down to his boxers and tank top, and tuck him into bed. She made him a light supper in his kitchenette, and despite his protests, she had fed him. Tsukune suspected that she was having far too much fun at his expense, and told her so.
"Ridiculous," She dismissed the idea. "Yukari told me what you did. She also told me what set you off." She leaned in and kissed his forehead. "My hero."
Tsukune saw that resistance was futile, so he decided to try distraction instead.
"Ruby, can I ask you something?"
"You can ask for anything you want from me, Tsukune," She said.
He wasn't going to touch that one.
"Well, I was wondering about Witches."
"What about us?" Ruby questioned. "Our bodies are naturally human. He have to use magic to change them, but most transformations are temporary."
"I was wondering what witches count as having special meaning," Tsukune explained. "Like how blood is for vampires."
"There is nothing like that for Witches," Ruby said. "We are much more like humans then full Ayakashi. What sets us apart is our youkai genes. Depending on what it is we carry in our genes decides what magic we are best at. For myself, I am part Tengu. I have an affinity with crows and the air."
"I was wondering about," Tsukune accepted another mouthful of sticky rice while he selected his words. "I have been trying to be sensitive to the people around me. Like what not to touch, or say because it can give offence or cause a misunderstanding."
"You can touch me anyway you want, Tsukune."
"You are not the only witch I know, or am likely to meet," Tsukune reminded her. "I don't want to accidentally get into a fight with a witch, or have one suddenly think I proposed."
"I see," She said at last. "As a rule, and it isn't the same for all Witches," Ruby explained. "A Witches Foci is something very personal. It is an extension of their body and their youki."
"Foci?"
"What a Witch uses to focus and channel their youku to perform magick." From somewhere in her skirts Ruby produced her wand. "The nature of the Foci also influences the magic a Witch can use."
"I think I understand," Tsukune said. It did make a kind of sense to him. What you say or do around a samurai depended on a lot of things, but trying to touch his sword was always bad.
She laid her wand down across Tsukune's lap. The red crystal mounted in the end glowed brightly
"Your youki is still agitated," Ruby said. "Because you have shared your youki with me twice now my Foci has become sensitive to you."
Tsukune took a moment to feel his youki. Instead of trying to pass it on he tried to push it down. He concentrated on the mental image of squeezing it down into a tiny, brilliant spark that he buried in his center. When he finished he relaxed, and he saw the stone in wand the had gone dark
"You're getting better," Ruby observed as she put her wand away.
"I have a lot of reason to practice." He started to lift the sheets so he could get out of bed.
"What are you trying to do?"
"I have to go to the toilet," Tsukune said irritably. He got to his feet and looked about for his pants. "And after that I need to study."
After he had his pants on he opened the door to his room. He looked back to where Ruby was kneeling next to his bed with a smile on her lips. Tsukune sighed and went back over to her. He stood in front of her and held out his arms for a hug.
"Thank you for your help, Ruby," He said.
She quickly stood up and hugged him.
After a short moment, without letting go of Ruby, Tsukune leaned back and looked her in the face. He flashed her a smile, then he crouched down, tightened his arms around her as he went down, pulling forward and off balance. Ruby cried out briefly as she felt herself falling forward. Tsukun stood up and held her over his shoulder like a sack of rice. He started for the door once more.
"Oh, Tsukune," Ruby started softly, but then her voice rose in pitch and volume. "No!' She protested and started to kick and wiggle.
Tsukune was having a hard time keeping a hold on her and his balance at the same time.
"Stop that," He said without any success. He bounced her on his shoulder once so he could have a hand free for a moment, and he used it to swat her sharply on the bottom. "Stop!" He growled.
"Aww," Ruby sighed, relaxing.
Tsukune deposited a smiling ruby on her feet in the hallway, to the amusement to several neighbors.
"I'll see you in a day or two," Tsukune said and set off for the boys' bathroom.
