Chapter 38

Tsukune woke up feeling refreshed. His awareness of self returned slowly until he realized he was laying in bed comfortably on his side with his eyes closed. With a slow, long stretch, he rolled onto his back and opened his eyes. Tsukune noticed the low light coming in through the window and knew that is had to be late afternoon. He took a moment to run through his mental calendar to make sure he had no appointments for the remainder of the day. He trusted that Ruby would have woken him if he had forgotten something earlier so he didn't feel bad about losing the day to sleep.

He didn't get out of bed right away. Instead he just listened to the quiet of his room and the sounds of the dorm for a little while as his mind wandered. He did not hear Ruby moving around, not did he smell any food, so he knew she was not cooking or otherwise moving around the small room. That bothered him a little. He cared for all of his friends deeply, but when they were not acting as he had come to expect them to, he worried what they might be plotting.

Tsukune finally started moving. He was aware of Ruby's continued absence when he returned from his bath. Tsukune dressed in casual clothes and started to think about food. He was hungry after sleeping all day, but he faced a dilemma. If he cooked something for himself, or went out to get something to eat, Ruby would feel hurt that she had been unable to fulfill her role as a servant. Tsukune didn't want to hurt her feelings. He thought about it for a bit and finally decided that he could put off eating for a while. He decided to go for a walk.

Ruby was upset. There was an old saying, 'You can't please two masters.' While there were exceptions to the rule, Ruby was reminded that old sayings persisted for a reason. I quiet messenger had summoned her to the Board Chairman's office while Tsukune was sleeping. Ruby had no problems with obeying the summons. It was how long she had been kept busy by the man that upset her. While she understood the importance of her work, the timing was poor. Now that she was released from working for the Board Chairman she had to hurry back to Tsukune.

Ruby knew Tsukune would forgive her for not being there when he woke, if she was not back to his room before then. He would forgive her for not having his supper ready for him on time. He would smile, say that it was alright and, if he had not eaten already, he would wait patiently while she cooked. That was the perfect way to treat a wife, Ruby felt, but she wasn't a wife, she was his slave. It was her duty to see to his wants and needs. Tsukune would forgive her, but she would not be so easy on herself.

As she flew to the dorms she saw Tsukune come out of the building. He was dressed in baggy shorts and a colorful short sleeved shirt. He was just walking casually, and Ruby prepared to land before him, but an overdressed succubus suddenly ran up to him.

"Tsukune…" Kurumu called out as she hurried over to Tsukune. She thought she would have to go to his room and possibly wake him up. Instead he was out of his dorm and looked like he had already cleaned up. "I'm sorry." She clutched his arm as she reached him. "This wasn't my idea."

"Kurumu?" Tsukune was concerned. "What's wrong?"

"I'm sorry, Tsukune. It's my mother," Kurumu tried to explain. "She didn't tell me she was coming. If I had known she was going to visit today I would have cleaned my room before she could get here, but she just surprised me."

"What are you talking about?" As soon as his friend had mentioned her mother, Tsukune had felt an urge to run for the trees.

"It's like this," Kurumu took a deep breath. "After our accident this morning I went back to my room. I threw everything in the laundry basket and… Well I lost track of time. I took a bath, and then there was a new recipe for muffins I wanted to try... After that I cleaned up a little but decided to take a nap. Then before I knew it, my mother knocked on my door. While I was making tea for her she looked around my room a little…" Kurumu paused for a breaths. "Tsukune, you have to understand that mother is a mature succubus, and she has a lot of experience. It wasn't my idea at all. Please don't be upset."

"Kurumu," Tsukune said firmly. "Calm down and tell me what the problem is. I don't understand what you are telling me."

"It's like this," Kurumu tried to sound calm while her heart wanted to race. "When you and I… This morning when we had out accident, we touched each other and we felt certain feelings. We both felt certain… desires. Those feelings have an energy to them that a succubus feeds off of. Because you were wearing you blazer when… That energy from you left something like a scent on your blazer, and on my running suit also, because we were touching. Well my mother could feel some of that energy from the clothes in my laundry basket." She waited, watching Tsukune's face to see if he understood.

"Go on," Tsukune nodded.

"Well," Kurumu swallowed hard. "Mother checked the clothes from this morning. She recognized your blazer. Then she saw my clothes." Kurumu paused and swallowed again. "You know how by pants had ripped," She blushed. "My mother saw that. She also saw the dirt from when we fell. And then my underwear…" Kurumu looked down for a moment and breathed deeply to try to hold on to a scrap of calmness. She looked back at Tsukune's face and continued. "My mother thinks that you and I… That we..."

"Oh gods," Tsukune groaned. He closed his eyes and scrubbed his face with his free hand as he tried to think.

Tsukune knew he was not in any real trouble. The first time he had met Kurumu's mother the woman had told him to force himself on his friend. No, even if he and Kurumu had done something the woman would not be angry. The danger came from how the woman was likely to show her approval of anything she might believe had happened. In his mind Tsukune could imagine Kurumu's mother making some kind of public announcement.

"I'm sorry," Kurumu said. "But mother wants me to bring you back to talk with her."

"Ehhhh." Tsukune felt sick to his stomach.

The area under the barrier that surrounded the school was quite large. Tsukune was not sure if it was a different world, like in the magnas he liked to read back home, or if it was just a hidden place that people had forgotten about. The school buildings, the dorms, even the mock villages and work areas were all spread out in the human-free zone. The staff apartments and local shopping district were also enclosed under the barrier. Tsukune suspected that a lot of monsters who liked the human world, but were afraid of it for some reason, lived and worked under the barrier for their own reasons, as well as to support the school.

Tsukune found himself in an area of the shopping district he had never been to before. It was like there was some invisible line that the students just didn't normally cross. The area looked a little worn down, a little less clean then anywhere else. The residents of the area were not restricted to human forms, but neither were they all in their monster forms. When Kurumu's mother brought him into the area Tsukune knew he was in a different kind of trouble.

"I can't be here," Tsukune protested as soon as he realized that the woman had brought her daughter and him to a bar. "I'm under age."

"Awww," Kurono Ageha waved down Tsuune's argument. "You've spent too much time around humans. Youkai have no such restrictions." She flashed a hand sign at the headwaiter.

Tsukune shared a scared look with Kurumu. Her mother did not know Tsukune was human. Tsukune hoped he didn't look, or smell, as nervous as he felt.

"We're to have fun and celebrate." Ageha said, leading the two students over to a booth.

"But nothing happened," Tsukune protested futilely.

Tsukune found himself crowded into a semi-circular booth between Kurumu and Ageha. While there was room for more then a half dozen adults, Ageha didn't see a reason to set anywhere but hard against Tsukune. Kurumu sat as close as she could to Tsukune as much as for the comfort of his presence as to keep her mother from taking all of his attention. Tsukune wished he had a way to escape that would not get him into trouble, but he could not think of one.

Ageha was in her element. She ordered expensive champagne and exotic hors-d'uvres. When she wanted attention from the wait staff, she flashed her money and cleavage with equal ease and abandon. She sang along with the band from time to time and drank freely. All the while, she kept at least one hand on Tsukune.

It was an evening according to Ageha. Any time Tsukune had an empty hand the woman would find something to occupy it. He quickly realized that he could limit the trouble he could get in if he kept one arm around Kurumu, out of Ageha's reach. Kurumu liked this plan and leaned in closer to him to encourage it. He tried to order a softdrink, telling Ageha that he had to be ready in case of emergencies, but she just ignored his argument and pressed a glass into his hands. Fighting a sour stomach, Tsukune choked down the expensive hors-d'uvres that the two females fed him.

Kurumu was upset with her mother, but didn't know what she should do. She held a champagne flute carefully and nibbled at the food on the table while watching Tsukune. She offered him bites of food and sympathetic looks while her mother insisted on 'celebrating.' She was enjoying her chance to be close to Tsukune, but hoped that the night life her mother was showing him would not be something he would come to enjoy.

Ageha, for all of her loud and carefree behavior, was aware that something was out of place. Her prospective son-in-law was sitting there, between to women, but the scent of lust was not coming from him. She could taste it in the air, but none of it came from the young man who, by all of her experience and reasoning, should be so filled with lust that being where he was should have left him drooling. Careful not to show any real concern or interest, Ageha ran her hand up Tsukune's thigh and groped him. She was satisfied by the way he jumped in his seat, but wondered why he was so unresponsive to the situation.

By the time they left the club Tsukune would have paid ten thousand yen for a liter of cold water. He had braved all of two sips of champagne, but it had not been enough to get the salty taste of the hors-d'uvres out of his mouth. He suspected the food had been salted to make customers want more drinks. But his thirst was a problem for later. First he had to get back to the dorms.

His attention was divided on the area around him and on his companions. Ageha was tipsy, having consumed more then an entire bottle of champagne. Kurumu, who had drank less then her mother but was unused to alcohol, was drunk. She could not walk in a strait line, and would probably fall down if Tsukune didn't have an arm around her waist. He had tried to get her mother to walk on the other side of Kurumu to help support her.

"Nope," Ageha had said with a smile and a giggle. "I like it where I am." She had Tsukune's other arm trapped in her grip and held firmly against her breast.

Tsukune concentrated on keeping his balance, and keeping his companions safe. He remembered the times that his father had woken up after a late night of drinking with his coworkers, only to complain about how he felt while swearing he would never do it again. After what he had just seen, Tsukune seriously wondered if adulthood would ever make sense to him. He was relieved when he finally came in site of the dorms.

Tsukune managed to get his companions safely up to Kurumu's room. With a little fumbling for keys in Kurumu's pocket, he managed to get the door open. The next challenge was to get Kurumu and her mother to let go of him once he got them inside. He would never say anything, but he suspected that both females were more sober then they were letting on as they pulled him into a pile on the bed with them. Hands touched a lot of sensitive places as he struggled, gently, to get free. Once he was out of their grasp and their reach, Tsukune excused himself and headed for the door. He was half way back to his own room when he realized that his fly was open.

"He's gone," Ageha stated in a flat voice as she sat up on the bed. She looked down at her daughter and sighed. The girl was drunk, even if she had been playing it up a bit for the benefit of her boyfriend. "Come on, sit up."

Ageha got to her feet and headed to the small kitchenette. Large amounts of water were called for. She needed to be clear headed so she could think. The boy had all the lust and desire coming off of him she expected from only the most devout priests, or truly happily married men, which was to say none. Ageha considered the small harem of girls that followed after him, including her own daughter. She knew from the evidence that Kurumu and the boy had shared something, even if they both denied it. Could he be spreading his attentions around? Could the other girls be satisfying his lust, keeping it from Kurumu?

Ageha growled. Lust was the domain of the Succubus and the Incubus. If Tsukune was keeping his lust from Kurumu then maybe it was time he learned what a succubus could really do to a man. Ageha set to the task of sobering up her daughter. They had plans to make.
