Chapter 41

Tsukune stood with his friends on a hill overlooking the strange village. He had nearly forgotten the strange place, but the Board Chairman had not. The little village was looking almost new. The single street had been repaved and all the little houses had been painted. Only the weed filled gardens suggested that the village had been long neglected. The Board Chairman stood with the students overlooking the little village.

"Well boy," The Board Chairman said. "What do you think?" He waved towards the village.

"Errr," Tsukune tried to think of an answer. "Ummm. It looks nice."

"I am glad you like it," The Board Chariman smiled at Tsukune. "You will be living here."

"Whaa?" Tsukune gaped in surprise.

"I told you that I had plans for this place, and you. Come with me," The man walked down towards the village.

With no other choice, Tsukune followed the Board Chairman. Moka, Kurumu, Mizore, Yukari, and Ruby followed along as well.

"This village," The Board Chairman explained, "Was built so that students could practice living in a human community. In the past, the students would revert to their monster personalities far too easily. They became too comfortable with exposing themselves and the village became much like the dorms are now. That is where you come in, boy."

"Sir?" Tsukune was feeling alarmed.

"You and some of your friends have lived in the human world. You will bring an element of that into this project. You will live in this village and help keep the other students thinking like humans."

"Uhhh… How?"

"You will just be your self," The Board Chairman turned his smile on the young man. "And when you see one of your neighbors not following the rules you will remind them."

"Ahhh…"

"When possible, a student with human world experience will be assigned to each house, along with a student that has never been among humans before." The Board Chairman continued along the street. "Not only will the students practice living as humans do," The man stopped in the middle of the street and gestured to two storied building and the "T" shaped building in turn. "But they will also learn to work in human settings."

"Uhhh…" Tsukune was trying hard to keep up mentally. Looking to his friends he saw little support coming.

"I have faith in you boy. You will make this a success."

Tsukune heard the hard edge in the Board Chairman's voice and recognized the threat. He would have to do everything he could to make this pet project work or his tenuous position at the school could come to an end.

"I don't know if…" Tsukune tried to think of a way to, if not decline the added responsibilities, then to lower the Board Chairman's expectations.

"Nonsense, boy," The man said firmly. "You are well respected by your peers. I am sure you will have no trouble at all."

"Thank you…" Tsukune said weakly.

"Now you can't set yourself apart from the others too much or the other students wont trust you. The manor house is still in need of repairs in any case."

"Awww…." A collective complaint came from the girls.

Tsukune kept his face perfectly blank. That was the first good news he had heard all afternoon.

"I've taken the liberty," The headmaster reached into his robes, "To chose out your new residence." He pulled out a set of keys. "You should move in right away. The first of your neighbors will be moving in tomorrow." He handed the keys to Tsukune."

"Thank you," Tsukune said as he accepted the keys. He hoped the sour feeling in his gut didn't show on his face.

"I have faith in you boy," The headmaster said as he turned to leave. "Just keep up all your good work."

Tsukune and his friends watched the Board Chairman leave. The man moved more like he was drifting over the ground instead of walking. He faded from sight before he reached the end of the street. Tsukue gave himself a shake and looked at the set of keys in his hand.

The keys, there were two of them, were simple and normal looking. They were on a normal key ring with a simple, oval tag. On the tag was the number four. Looking at the keys convinced Tsukune how serious the Board Chairman was about making the village as human and normal as possible.

"Let me see," Insisted the ever curious Yukari as she moved in close to Tsukune for a look at the keys.

As his other friends pressed in, Tsukune scanned the street. He identified Number Four by the polished brass number above the door. It was a modest off-white house with sky-blue trim. It did not stand out from the other houses in the slightest. Tsukune gave a small smile at the normal looking structure.

"Let's check it out," Yukari started for the house in question.

The group of friends, with Tsukune being swept along, excitedly headed for Number Four. Because he was holding the keys it was up to him to open the door. The group of excited girls at his back hurried Tsukune into the house so fast he almost didn't get his shoes off before he found himself standing in his new living room.

The little house was clean and ready for Tsukune to take up residence. The house was fully furnished in tasteful, normal, contemporary style. In the kitchen cupboards there was a complete set of dishes. While there was no television, radio, or computer, there were all the other items Tsukune expected to see in a modern home. The stove, oven, microwave, and refrigerator were all new. In each bedroom was a full sized bed with new linens, as well as a desk and a chair. Curtains were hung in every window and tied back neatly to let in the light. The house looked like a display, or maybe a set for shooting a commercial.

The group of friends investigated the house. They looked into every room and cupboard and closet. Behind the house was a small yard with a pond and water coarse, complete with a miniature, bamboo, dear chaser. It was the kind of house that Tsukune would be proud to live in.

Tsukune collapsed on his bed with a tired sigh. He had just finished moving in to his new home and was ready to sleep for days. After investigating the house the decision was made to get Tsukune moved in without delay. Ruby promptly flew ahead to start getting everything ready, leaving Tsukune to walk back to the dorms with his friends. It had only taken a single trip to get him moved, and nobody had to carry very much. Tsukune suspected that the move would have gone smoother without all the 'help' he had received.

Because he was used to living modestly at school, Tsukune could have moved all of his belongings in just a few bags. With his youkai strength he could have carried it all by himself, he was sure. Once everything had been moved, the girls had insisted on unpacking everything and putting it all away. Kurumu, for example, was having fun playing newlywed in the kitchen. Tsukune was not sure what Ruby and Yukari were talking about, but they had their heads together and their wands out as they walked around the house.

Finally it was curfew that forced Tsukune's classmates to return to their own rooms. All of them were protesting how unfair it was for Tsukune to be so far away, and that they were not allowed to move in with him. Tsukune did do the gentlemanly thing and walk them back to the dorms, while Ruby stayed behind to put things in order.

Ruby sang to her self, and was almost dancing, as she organized Tsukune's closet. She was moving into a house with her Master. Together they would have more space, but at the same time they would have more privacy. The house had a proper bathroom, which gave Ruby all kinds of ideas.

Ruby knew she would have the second bedroom for herself, but she only planed to use it when Tsukune needed privacy. She would be able to serve him as was fitting, and could retreat discreetly to her own room until she was needed again. It was a near perfect life, as Ruby saw it in her mind.

Moka couldn't stop giggling. She had a smile on her face so wide it made her cheeks ache, and the giggles kept coming. She had been woken by a knocking on her dorm room door in the early hours of the morning. When she opened the door she saw a short woman in a black suit, with black hair, and black sunglasses, standing in the hall.

"I am from the Board Chairman's office," The woman had said. "Are you Akashiya Moka?"

"Yes," Moka answered cautiously. "Can I help you?"

"This is for you," The woman held out an envelope.

Moka saw the school's crest on the envelope, and her own name. She accepted the envelope and the woman left. Moka closed the door, and in the privacy of her own room she opened the envelope. In side she found a set of keys and a letter.

"To Akashiya Moka,

"You have been selected by the school board, based on your academic performance, your individual aptitudes, and your personal history, for participation in the Advanced Social Integration program. Effective immediately, you are asked to quit your occupation of the female students' dormitory and take up residence at Number Six Village Street. You and a room mate will share the assigned unit for the remainder of your enrollment at Youkai Academy.

The Advanced Social Integration program is to help students learn to function within human society. The success of this program will require the full cooperation and support of the selected students. It is expected that you will use your personal experiences interacting in the human world to help your assigned room mate, and other program members, to achieve the needed personal and social awareness.

Signed..."

Moka read the letter through carefully, three times. The first time she had been shocked. As she read the letter the second time, Moka felt herself smile. After reading the letter for a third time she realized that she would be living next door to Tsukune, the giggles had started. Smiling, and giggling, Moka started to pack.

XXXXXXXXXX

"Ya-Hooo!" Kurumu cheered. She danced from one foot to the other as she threw her clothes and books onto her bed. She had been forced out of her bed at an early hour by a knocking at the door. A strange woman dressed all in black had handed her a letter. As soon as she finished reading the letter, Kurumu had started packing. She carefully boxed up her cooking appliances and her old Comico game system. After that, came the pots, pans, and dishes. With all of that organized and stacked she gave a cheer and hurried to finish up. She knew she could get any number of male students to move the heavy stuff for her, but she wanted to hurry to her new place; Number Three Village Street.

Once all of her clothes, books, and extra linens were piled on the bed, Kurumu tied up the corners. She now had a neat stack of boxes in the middle of the room and a large bundle on the bare mattress of her bed. She was done packing. A short walk in a tight tee shirt and jeans in front of the boys' dorms, while vocally lamenting about not knowing how to deal with such heavy burdens, was all it took to recruit a team of movers. With puppy-dog eyes, and lustful thoughts, the boys followed the succubus.

Mizore was humming to herself as she moved her belongings. After receiving and reading her letter, the Snow Maiden summoned up a team of ice puppets. They loaded Mizore's belongs on to a sleigh made of ice. Once the loading was done, it was a simple task for the ice puppets to push they sleigh along a trail that Mizore made of snow. All through the move, Mizore was careful to hold on to her key to Number Two Village Street. She had noticed how the even numbered houses were all on the same side of the street. She would soon be living right next door to Tsukune. Mizore was looking forward to living so close to her most special person. Living next door to Tsukune would allow her to watch over him much more closely.

Yukari was very much acting her age. After waking up to receive a letter and a key to Number One Village Street, the little witch had gone into action. She had all of her considerable collection of books, mangas, and assorted tomes stacked and bundled in short order. She kept packing and stacking until she had all of her things in a single pile in the middle of her room. The little witch had a plan. Once everything was neatly stacked up, she used a long strand of rope, upon which she wrote out mystical glyphs, to bind the pile of belongings together. With a measured chant and a wave of her wand, the pile levitated up from the floor. Yukari suppressed a cheer as she saw her magic working as she had hoped. Another wave of her wand was all it took to move the collection for the door, where it stopped with a thump, too big to pass through the opening.

"Damn," Yukari muttered, letting the stack drop to the floor.

Moka had made the first trip to the village with a carefully packed bundle secured to her long forgotten bicycle. Originally intended for use when her strength was low, Moka had not needed the mechanical assistance of the bicycle thanks to Tsukune's yummy blood. However, with the bicycle, Moka was able to make the first trip to the village very quickly. She was very excited to share her good news, and good fortune, with her new neighbor, Tsukune.

Tsukune had been very happy to have Moka as his neighbor. He quickly volunteered to help Moka move the rest of her things, as she had hoped. As an added bonus, Ruby also insisted on helping. The three of them were able to move the rest of Moka's things in a single trip. For a while, they walked along the snowy trail left by Mizore. At one point, Kurumu's moving team nearly knocked them down in their eagerness.

XXXXXXXXXX

Yukari had moved her belongings out of the dorm the time consuming way; one small load at a time. She carefully rebuilt her pile outside of the dorms and retied her enchanted cord around it. With a wave of her wand and a measured chant she levitated the bundle. Yukari was proud of her accomplishment. With her skill and knowledge she would be able to move all of her things in a single trip. While most of her attention was on the task of moving her belongings, she was also aware that, for some reason, the path to the village was muddy.
