Chapter 62

Moka felt awkward as she stepped out the door that morning. Her body was still feeling the effects of having been with Tsukune. Her muscles felt strong and her mind was clear. Over all she was rested and felt ready for anything, because she had fed so well from Tsukune. But at the same time, parts of her felt tender, almost too sensitive from what they had shared. There was a small inner voice that berated Moka, and wanted to have a go at Tsukune too, about how reckless they had been, fretting over the possible consequences of their thoughtless passion. Moka had trouble feeling any regret over what had happened in spite of that little voice. Even though she knew the kind of problems that could have come of it, Moka couldn't help but feel some excitement at the thought of creating something with Tsukune.

Moka was unsure what to expect from Tsukune after what had happened. He was such a reserved and modest person, Moka was afraid that he might think something bad about her. She was also worried that he might think badly about himself. The two biggest fears that warred within Moka were whether or not her relationship with Tsukune had been ruined by what had happened, and what would happen if or when her family found out what had happened.

All of Moka's inner concerns faded when she saw Tsukune standing in front of his house. He was standing straight and tall without a jacket. His Student Police arm band was pinned to his shirt sleeve. She saw that his tie was held in place by the pin she had given him. Moka was glad and relieved that he still wanted to acknowledge their relationship. She let herself look into his face as he walked towards her. His feelings were usually easy to read, so Moka was apprehensive about what she might see.

Tsukune looked tired. He had dark circles under his eyes and his face was tight. Moka could tell by the way he carried himself that Tsukune was running on willpower more then anything else. Even as she looked into his face, Tsukune made eye contact with her and smiled.

Moka saw his smile and her apprehension was washed away. Tsukune's smile was genuine. The warmth of it carried through to his tired eyes. Moka felt her heart swell with her love for for Tsukune.

Tsukune had been worried about how Moka would receive him after what he had done. He was afraid that in the light of day she would resent him, blame him for what had happened. But then he saw her. He saw the care and concern in her eyes. Tsukune did not care if she was upset at him. Just seeing Moka made his morning better and helped to brighten his morning. He smiled, happy to see her beautiful face. And then Moka smiled, and to Tsukune it was like the warmth of the sun was shining upon him.

Tsukune had to concentrate to keep his youki under control. He had not slept all night, and only managed a little relaxation in the bath. Instead of sleeping, Tsukune had tried to burn off his extra energy. He had channeled some into Hiru, making the creature purr, but Tsukune stopped when she looked like she was getting too excited. Her body had gone tense and her tail had twitched almost violently. After that Tsukune spent the night practicing his meditation and transformations. By dawn, Tsukune had worked out a plan on how to get through his current dilemma. But first he had to get through classes.

Kurumu could tell that Tsukune was still not himself. She could feel tendrils of lust coming off of him, and could feel his youki burning just under the surface. She was glad that he was doing better then the last time she had seen him, but she did not know why he looked so tired. She could not help but worry about him.

Yukari did not want to go to her counseling appointment. She already had a plan in mind for her future. She would attend a university, which ever one Moka and Tsukune went to. If they went to different schools, Yukari would go to which ever was the better one. After that, Yukari planed to work as a teacher. Being a teacher in a school would help prepare her for when Tsukune was ready to be a father.

Yukari also did not want to go to her appointment because it took her away from Moka and Tsukune. Something had happened and the little witch wanted to find out what. Moka looked a little tire, while Tsukune looked exhausted. Yukari suspected that something had kept Tsukune Busy with the student police all night, and Moka had probably lost sleep worrying about him, but she wanted to find out for sure.

When Yukari arrived at her appointment she had been surprised. As soon as she entered the small office she knew she was in the presence of another witch. The older witch was somewhere close to middle age, Yukari guessed from her appearance. Looking at her, Yukari hoped that she would mature as well.

The career counselor was a woman on indeterminate years. Her hair was full and dark, with silver highlights at the temples. Her face glowed with confidence and mature beauty. Little lines at the corners of her mouth and eyes added a merry quality to the woman's appearance. Yukari could not help but admire the appearance of the older witch. She was wearing a long black dress the hugged her body and displayed her curves to good advantage. The counselor had ample breasts, a modest waist with a flat abdomen, and full hips. She was feeding a gray parrot on a stand in the corner when Yukari walked in.

The actual meeting was over with quickly. Yukari's academic performance supported her plan to attend university and to be a teacher, which the counselor approved of. She did admonish the little witch to take her education a little more seriously, and told her she should go to the best university she could, instead of chasing her friends around.

"There is just one more thing," The woman said as the meeting neared its conclusion. "I was told to give you something." She pent down to get something from behind her desk. "I am told that this is meant to be some kind of reward," She said as she lifted a copper bound book onto the desk. She slid the heavy thing over to Yukari.

"Wow," Yukari exclaimed as she reached for the tome. She could tell by looking at it that it was a very old book. As she took it in her hands she realized that the thing must weigh almost five kilograms, making it heavier then it looked. She was practically drooling as she hugged the book to her chest. She looked up at the older witch wither eyes wide, but questioning.

"Yes," The woman nodded. "It is yours to keep." She gave the little witch a mischievous smile. "But it will be up to you to learn how to unlock it." She laughed happily.

Yukari left the office with her new book and a wide grin. She wanted to return to class to show her new treasure to her friends. But more then that, Yukari wanted to start studying the ancient tome so that she could unlock its mysteries.

Mizore left the career counselors office feeling like she had wasted her time. The little old man with the bushy eyebrows and mustache had tried to interest the snow maiden in a list of nearly invisible careers, including meter maid and corporate office support. Mizore knew her career goal, and had told the old man so. She was going to seduce Tsukune, and then raise his children, ether in the human world or back in her home village. To add to Mizore's frustration, the counselor had ended the meeting by sending her to the school nurse's office.

Mizore had been tempted to blow off her visit to the nurse's office. She would rather spend her time near Tsukune, then being measured and weighed for her school record. In the end she decided to see the school nurse just to avoid getting in to any trouble. When she reached the office, the school nurse was not alone.

"Hello dear," A woman dressed in a white skirt said with a smile. The woman looked ancient. Her head was bald and her skin looked like leather. Mizore almost couldn't tell that it was a woman that sat on a stool, topless. Her breasts were little more then thick folds of wrinkled skin. The woman was holding a long stick, almost caressing it, while a long black snake moved slowly around it in long curls. "Please come in." The woman smiled, showing a mouth full of dark, pointed teeth.

Moka was feeling frustrated. It was another day of self study. Tsukune was close enough that she could smell him, but she couldn't do anything. She did not have the familiar distraction of class to help her keep her mind busy. All Moka could do is try to read while being aware of Tsukune's closeness.

Tsukune was keeping himself busy by reading the book Lord Gray had given him. By reading through the mental focusing exercises he was able to keep his mind calm, helping to keep his Youki bottled. Tsukune had studied enough of the book to understand what he had to do. Controlling his youki was something that took training. The more he practiced the better he would become, and the more he could handle. Additionally, the better he was at it, the more he could produce and handle.

Moka kept steeling glances in Tsukne's direction. She liked to watch his face as he concentrated on the book in his hands. She couldn't help but wonder if she could get him somewhere along at lunch.

Kurumu was also watching Tsukune. Even without looked at him, she was aware of him. His heart was beating steady and strong, and his breathing was measured and deep. She could see Tsukune's concentration in his profile. He was like a professional dancer in the middle of a performance, where concentration and endurance were key. Kurumu had studied dancing at her mother's insistence, because it could be a useful tool in seducing men.

Kurumu could not tell what Tsukune was feeling or thinking, but having him close gave her a sense of calm. Tsukune had not shown any indication that he was upset at her for what had happened between them. She could tell that something was bothering him, but he did not act like she was the cause of it.

Moka needed a distraction. She was watching Tsukune more and more, and saw that Kurumu was doing the same. Moka dug into her school bag for something to occupy her mind. She saw the envelope she had received from the career counselor. She had meant to open after class, but had become distracted and for got about it. Moka blushed deeply, remembering her distraction with startling clearity.

More in need of a distraction then before, Moka pulled out the envelope and examined it. She saw that it was blank except for her name written in fancy script on one side. Curious, she opened the envelope. Inside, Moka found a thick piece of folded parchment and a small handwritten note. She read the note first.

"Just to let you know," The note said. "I have forwarded a copy of this to your family. Signed Brone G."

Moka read the note through twice, wondering if she should be worried. Finally she took out the parchment and unfolded it. The face of the parchment was adorned with lines of flowing script a seal of silver wax and a blue ribbon. Moka read the lines of scrip carefully.

"By my hand and seal," The flowing script said with formal sounding wording. "I, Brone Gray, Lord of the Sutherland Cairns and Coast, do here by declare my respect for the skill and prowess of Moka, daughter of the house of Akashiya. In recognition of her dedication and loyalty, Akashiya is hereby appointed Dame of the Argent Cairn, with all rights and responsibilities inherent there unto."

Moka realized that her hand was shaking as she reread the parchment. Lord Gray had made her a Dame. Moka had a title. She was aware that this gave the man a claim on her, gave her obligations, but she could renounce the title if she thought his demands were unreasonable or immoral. Having a title, even a minor one in a foreign court, granted Moka status. For herself, status was an unimportant issue. But for her family and for the world she was a part of as a vampire, a title made her a person, and not just her parent's child.

Moka looked towards Tsukune. He had gained recognition from the school and the other students, proving that he had worth for the status conscious world of vampires and other noble youkai. But his recognition were only a starting place. When he was out of school then he would have less to hold up for recognition. Of greater value was the recognition he had gained from Matsumoto Akira's family, and having a sworn servant. His growing youki was also something to be proud of, even if it was a cause for concern.

Moka smiled to herself. She had a title now. With enough status she could chose to be with Tsukune and nobody in her family could deny her. She felt her smile escaping her control and looked down at her desk to hide it. Her smile grew wider. Kokoa was going to have a fit.

Mizore was unsure how she should feel as she returned to class. Relieved was what she felt the most. The reward the Board Chairman had arranged for her was embarrassing to think about, mostly because it meant that the man she hardly knew had such detailed and personal information about her. Mizore felt relieved that the procedure to grant her reward was over. The procedure and been physically unpleasant, and even uncomfortable to think about in detail. The old healer woman made Mizore undress for the procedure, and had been very thorough with her examination of the Snow Maiden. Now that the procedure was over, and the 'reward' had been granted, Mizore felt a sense of relief, because now she had something truly valuable. Mizore had time. While the procedure had been uncomfortable, even invasive, it gave Mizore many more years of being able to bare children.

Tsukune had told Mizore's mother that he would not even consider having children until he knew he could be a good father and proper provider. Now Mizore had time to wait for him. He could go to college and start his career, whatever it would be, and Mizore would be ready to bare his children when he was ready to father them.

Mizore was allowing herself to daydream about Tsukune, and creating a family with him, as she returned to class. She slipped into the classroom unobserved, pausing just within the door to observe Tsukune and to read the atmosphere. The room was mostly quiet as students read or talked in whispers. Tsukune sat at his desk with a book in his hands and a frown on concentration on his handsome face.

"Tsukune," Moka said with a cheerful smile as the group of friends sat down to lunch together. "I wanted to talk to you about school break."

"Yes," Tsukune responded in a level voice. He was tired in mind more then body, but was happy to talk with Moka.

"If you still want me to," Moka said with a light blush, thinking of all that had happened. "I would like to visit your home during the break."

"Yes," Tsukune said, smiling. "Of course I want you to. When would you like to come? Will you be able to stay with me?"

"Well," Moka could not help but smile. Tsukune's honest and happy reaction to her words touched her. "I need to go home first," Moka explained. "I need to make sure Kokoa will be alright." Moka paused to look at the faces of her friends. "And I need to let my family know about my title." She pulled out the letter she had received and handed it to Tsukune.

Tsukune accepted the piece of parchment and read it over. He could tell that it was good news, and that Moka was excited about it, but he was an outsider to her world still so his reaction was less pronounced then hers. Tsukune may not have seen the importance of the news in the same way as Moka, but he could tell that it was important to her, and was happy for her. He smiled warmly as he handed back the parchment with a seated bow.

"Congratulations, Dame Moka," Tsukune said.

The others joined in on congratulating Moka. While status and title were not as important to them, they were glad their friend had received recognition, even if they suspected that Inner Moka was the one who truly earned it.

The rest of lunch went by quickly, as did the rest of the school day. The students collected any anything they would need to turn in at the start of the next term, and turned in the books that they no longer needed. With only closing ceremonies between them and the end of the term, the student body was released from school for the day.

Tsukune was glad when the school day was over. Yukari, preoccupied with her new book, was not clinging to him or Moka, sparing them from her hyper affection. Mizore was smiling to herself, and blushing whenever Tsukune caught her looking in his direction. Moka was smiling broadly, but was also blushing frequently. Tsukune noted that Kurumu was the most tense of his companions. While he could not identify the emotions running though the succubus, he was able to tell that she was agitated.

Once back at the village, the friends split up. With the end of term a day away there was packing to do. Tsukune returned to his own house to change clothes and to speak with Ruby.

"Ruby," Tsukune called as he entered.

"Welcome home, Master," Ruby said with a smile.

"Is there anything I should do to get ready for tomorrow?" Tsukune asked as he headed to his bedroom to change.

"No master," Ruby answered, following him. "I have a uniform ready for tomorrow, and most of your belongings packed."

"Thank you."

"Master?" Ruby asked for his attention.

"What is it?" Tsukune was down to us undershirt already as he turned to face her.

"About last night," Ruby said carefully. "I know that you..."

"Yes," Tsukune nodded. "I know that it was probably a mistake. Moka and I were careless." He blew out a sigh. Thinking about what he and Moka had shared excited him anew, and he wanted to stay calm. "Moka has not said anything, and neither have I, but I think we both wanted it to happen." He looked at Ruby and she could see the care and concern on his face. "We just need to be careful that we don't do something that we will regret."

"Yes Master," Ruby nodded. "I just wanted you to know that I am here for you, Master, if you ever need me to help you, with anything." Ruby lifted the hem of her skirt with one hand and pulled at the top of her bodice with the other. "I am yours to use after all."

"Thank you, Ruby," Tsukune said, feeling a blush coloring his cheeks even as his youki started to churn. "But now that you have brought it up." Tsukune crossed the room to her. "You did help me last night, and I want to thank you for it. I may need your help for a while, until I can manage this better."

"Any time, master," Ruby blushed, remembering the pleasure he had given her.

"Good," Tsukune said. "I want to practice something." He put his hands on her shoulders.

"Wha..." Ruby looked up in surprise at Tsukune's boldness. Her words were cut off by his mouth closing with hers in a heated kiss. A rush of excitement filled Ruby even as Tsukune's youki flowed in to her. His kiss was like nothing she had ever felt from him. It was firm, but not demanding or nervous. With the physical connection came the flow rush of energy that excited her body and mind. Ruby felt like she was drinking the fire of life from Tsukune's mouth.

Tsukune felt his youki flow into Ruby. He kept the kiss short, not wanting to force too much upon Ruby. He also did not want to lose control of himself. He was aware of how exciting it was to kiss Ruby, and while not as stimulating as Moka, it still raised his energy and his hungers. He broke off the kiss before he could lose his concentration.

"Oh..." Ruby moaned in a mix of pleasure and disappointment.

"Thank you, Ruby," Tsukune said. He used his hands on Ruby's shoulders to turn her around. "I might be back late." He gave her a small push.

"Yes master," Ruby said automatically. "I'll take care of everything."

Ruby knew she would have dinner and a bath ready for when Tsukune returned. She had everything she needed already, so it would be just a mater of a little time and effort. But before any of that, Ruby had to take care of herself. She retreated to her room and closed the door. A part of her pouted that Tsukune was a cruel master for leaving his slave in such an aroused and desperate state.

"Tsukune?" Mizore was pleased and surprised when she opened the door to see that he had come to visit her.

"Mizore," Tsukune nodded wit a small smile on his face. "Do you have a moment?"

"Yes," Mizore smiled. "Please come in."

"I am sorry to bother you like this," Tsukune said. "But I wanted to talk to you. Um..." He looked around. "It's kind of private."

"We are alone," Mizore said. "Anna is with her boyfriend."

"Ahhh," Tsukune hoped the couple would keep each other busy for a while.

"Tsukune?" Mizore started to feel a little nervous. "What is it?"

"Let me start by saying I'm sorry about this," Tsukune sighed.

"Let's sit down," Mizore said.

After the pair had settled down with cups of tea, Mizore was ready to listen to what Tsukune had to say.

"What is it, Tsukune?" She asked.

"Well..." Tsukune started awkwardly. He took a few moments and a false start, but he finally found the words. Tsukune explained to Mizore about how his youki had been so hard for him to control. He explained how he had nearly lost control when he had been talking to Kurumu, and that he was afraid he would lose himself. He went on to tell her about how Inner Moka had tried to help him, and that he had nearly lost control again. He left out what had happened between Moka and himself, because she did not need to know about their indiscretion. Tsukune went on to explain what he had learned, even going so far as telling her how he had tested his idea with Ruby and Hiru.

"I need to release my youki safely," Tsukune explained. "I know that you can take some of it from me. Mizore, can you help me please?"

"Tsukune..." Mizore felt her heart flutter. She could not believe that he had come to her for help. He was sharing his fear with her, exposing his vulnerable side to her. It was a level of intimacy that only people very close and trusting with each other would do. "Yes," Mizore said with a nod "I will help you."

"Thank you, Mizore," Tsukune said with a sigh as he held out his hands to her.

Mizore took Tsukune's hands in hers and was rewarded by a rush of Warmth from him. Mizore realized that Tsukune had not been exaggerating his problem. She remembered the time he head nearly lost control in front of the dorms. It had taken her and Moka both to draw down his youki then. Mizore could feel the power of his youki as it flowed into her, and it was a near match to that other time. She marveled at how much Warmth he had to share and wondered that he did not burst into flames form it.

Tsukune watched Mizore closely. He did not want to hurt her, and suspected that she would not be able to take in all that he needed to release. He gently drew her closer to him as he watched her face. She had a dreamy eyes and a happy smile as she welcomed the chance to be closer. Tsukune concentrated on the feel of her youki to the best of his ability while still keeping control of his own. When he saw beads of sweat on Mizore's forehead he reigned in his youki,walling it away. Far from feeling drained, or even tired, Tsukune could feel a difference in his energy. He was still on edge, but he was no longer afraid he would lose control at any moment.

Mizore was breathing hard as she leaned against Tsukune. His Warmth empowered her and made her body feel light and alive. She could not help but wonder what it would be like to lay with him to make a child.

"Tsukun-nee," Mizore said in a soft voice, sitting up a little more, reaching to embrace him.

"Mizore," Tsukune said gently, accepting her arms about his neck. "Thank you."

Mizore was sorry to see Tsukune leave, but she understood. She had to finish packing her things as well. She suspected that she would be returning to the little house at the start of the next school year, but leaving things at school was asking to lose them. Mizore wished that she could bring Tsukune home with her. As she packed her things, she imagined stuffing Tsukune into one of her bags and smiled.

Kurumu was surprised and a little alarmed to when Tsukune came to visit her. She had already changed out of her uniform and worked up a sweat as she packed up her things. She had her hair covered and tied back with a scarf and was dressed in a faded blouse and baggy shorts. With no makeup on, Kurumu knew she looked a mess. As happy as she was to see Tsukune, she wished she could have had some warning.

"Kurumu," Tsukune said. "Do you have a moment?"

"I always have time for you, Tsukune," She reached for his hand and pulled him into the house. "I'm sorry I don't have any snacks, but I could make you a cup of tea..."

"You don't have to," Tsukune dismissed the offer of refreshments. His stomach felt heavy at the moment, spoiling any appetite for food he might have had. "I came to talk to you about something."

"What?" Kurumu suddenly felt uneasy. "Tsukune?"

Tsukune was still on edge. He hopped that Kurumu would be able to give him the help he needed. Tsukune thought that if his friends all took a little of his youki he would get it down enough that he would be able to relax. If Kurumu couldn't help him, or if she couldn't help him enough, then he would see Moka next, but Tsukune was afraid to see her until he had to, or at least until he had better control of himself. He did not want to only be with her when he would have trouble thinking clearly.

Because he was still on edge, Tsukune's awareness of youki, his own and others', was sharp. He could feel Enya close at hand and suspected that Kurumu's house mate might be listening in.

"Kurumu," Tsukune said. "Can we talk in your bedroom?"

"Ha," Kurumu gasped in surprise. She never expected Tsukune to be so forward. "Yes." She practically dragged him through the house to her bedroom. Once there she hesitated. Her room was in much the same state as she was. It was comfortable, but in no condition to entertain a guest. Especially not Tsukune.

Once in her bedroom, Tsukune freed himself from Kurumu's grasp. He turned his back on her and carefully closed the door. One of the skills that Tsukune had been practicing was a barrier. He threw his energy at the door, concentrating on the mental image of a thick wall. He hoped that it would keep anybody from listening in. The energy the barrier took was small. When used to try to release his youkai, it was like using a drinking glass to bail water from a sinking boat; It might work, but the effort might make things worse in the long run.

Kurumu watched Tsukune close her door, and felt a flare of his youki. She didn't know what was on Tsukune's mind, but she was very aware of her own feelings. She was curious, and very nervous. She felt her heart beating in her chest as Tsukune turned back to face her.

"Kurumu," Tsukune said. "I need to ask you for your help..."

Tsukune told Kurumu the same thing he had told Mizore. He had to explain fewer details because he had been with her for part of it. Tsukune also told Kurumu about his visit to Mizore, and how it had helped him. He saw that she understood, at least in part. He took a deep breath and blew it our, preparing himself for the next step.

"Kurumu," Tsukune said what he hoped was a gentle voice. "I know that as a succubus you can drain the energy from a person, that you need it in a way."

"It's not that simple," Kurumu explained. "A succubus feeds on the life force of her prey, but we do it by making them lust after us. Lust is a strong feeling, like love or hate or anger. Just experiencing strong emotions takes a lot of energy. When a person's energy is focused on succubus, in the form of Lust, then she can draw it into herself. You almost have to give your energy to a succubus."

"I understand," Tsukune said. "I'm willing..."

"No," Kurumu cut him off. "I don't think you do. Tsukune, after yesterday, when we kissed on the roof, I have been feeling Lust from you, but it is such a weak amount. I feel more lust from Yukari or Ruby."

"Kurumu," Tsukune said in a low voice. "I do understand." He crossed the room to stand only inches from her. "When I think of you. When I just let my guard down, I can feel your emotions. When I am close you, like this," He reached up and caressed her arm lightly. "Your feelings are so clear I can confuse them for my own."

Kurumu, Tsukune could feel, felt excited to have Tsukune so close to her, touching her. He was still calm enough to separate her feelings from his own. He was surprised to note that while his feelings were separate from hers, they did reflect Kurumu's. He realized that he did have feelings of desire for her, and that he felt some excitement at being with her. His feelings for her.

"When we kissed," Tsukune said. "I felt your excitement. I got excited too."

Kurumu was looking up into Tsukune face and felt her heart pounding. She tried to calm herself down. She had nearly lost control of herself the last time she had been close to Tsukune. Kurumu tried to concentrate on her awareness of Tsukune, and was shocked when she realized that his heart was beating fast, like her own. She could feel his youki rising as well. Tsukune was getting excited with her.

Tsukune's fingers moved to touch Kurumu's cheek. Kurumu's desire blossomed in her heart. Tsukune felt the rush of feelings from her. He hoped that he was not making a mistake.

"Kurumu," He said as he leaned closer. "I'm sorry. Please help me." He kissed her gently.

Kurumu's resolve collapsed and she threw her arms around Tsukune and kissed him back with abandon. Tsukune became her whole world. The feel of his body, his scent, the taste of his lips. She pressed her body against his.

Tsukune let himself experience Kurumu's body against his. He could smell her sweet scent and was aware of the softness of her breasts pressed against him. Separate from her desire for him, Tuskune could feel for Kurumu rising. He wrapped his arms around her and held her close.

Tsukune focused on Kurumu. Her kiss was warm, with her tongue tracing along the lines of his mouth, inviting him to kiss her more deeply. Tsukune was aware that holding Kurumu close felt different then when she pressed herself against him aggressively. Except for her impressive chest, Tsukune realized that Kurumu was a small woman. He let his hand slide down the curve of her back to her hip.

Kurumu moaned into Tsukune's mouth. His kiss was so warm and special. His hands were on her body, not groping her, but touching her in a much more sensual way. Kurumu wanted more of Tsukune's touch. She rubbed her breasts against him, not to tease him, but to stimulate herself. It was like a dream. Tsukune was kissing her and it was all by his own choice. It wasn't even because she had asked him to. Kurumu surrendered to her desire.

Tsukune felt light headed and his concentration faltered. Kurumu's love and desire added heat to his already warm body. He didn't even realize when he had started to squeeze her bottom, lifting her to her tip-toes and pulling Kurumu tighter against himself. His modest sense of desire blurred together with Kurumu's overwhelming longing.

Kurumu felt Tsukune's desire for her growing. His flesh, pressed against her stomach, grew hard and prominent. She slid a hand between their bodies to better felt the shape of Tsukune's flesh. Even as she did she felt Lust welling up in side of him. It was like a flame being fed dry wood. It started small but was growing fast. Kurumu felt a sense of pride at having inspired such a flame. She wanted to bask in the heat of that fire.

Tsukune felt his youki starting to surge. His primal hunger eroded his self control. He broke his mouth from Kurumu's and drew a suffering breath.

"Kurumu," Tsukune said in a ragged voice. "Please…" He kissed her again, concentrating on the sensations and desires that he was feeling.

Kurumu had been surprised when Tsukune had broken the kiss. But then she heard his voice calling her name. She could hear the need in his voice as he called to her. Then he kissed her again and his Lust became a roaring flame that washed over her. His hands were upon her body and his hips ground against her. Kurumu opened herself up to his Lust. She drank it in only to be swept up in the flow. It was like trying to sip from a waterfall. At the first taste of it, it flooded into her.

Kurumu felt the rush of power flowing into her body. All the times that she had embarrassed herself to gain a little power that had seamed so invigorating now felt like wastes of time. Tsukune's Lust was real and focused all on her. Kurumu felt intoxicated on Lust. She lifted a foot from the ground and wrapped that leg around Tsukune's hip. Kurumu placed both arms around Tsukune's neck, needing the support, as she ground herself against Tsukune's flesh where he was hard within his clothing.

The stimulation of her flesh and the intoxicating flow of Lust were soon too much for Kurumu to handle. She broke away from Tsukune's kiss to gulp down a lung full of air.

"Tsuuu-kuu-neeeee!" Kurumu cried out as her pleasure peaked and crashed over her.

"Kurumu," Tsukune groaned. He realized that he was dangerously close to losing control as a man. With great determination, Tsukune forced his youki to bend to his will. He armored himself with his dark energy, surrounding himself with it, and then forcing it down deep within himself. He had to get control before he lost himself, before Kurumu could be hurt in any way.

Kurumu felt the change in Tsukune. Her body was weak in the wake of her pleasure and her thoughts felt sluggish, but she knew something had changed. Breathing deep she made her eyes focus on Tsukune's face. He had his eyes closed in concentration and his Lust was fading away. Kurumu realized that she was barely standing on the floor, and that she and Tsukune were holding on to each other for support. She slowly cleared her mind and set herself to the task of standing on her own. It wasn't long before she was folding on to Tsukune just for the pleasure of it.

Tsukune regained his sense of self and self control. He opened his eyes and blew out a relieved sigh. Tsukune looked down on Kurumu's flushed face and smiled.

"Thank you, Kurumu," Tsukune said. "I think I will be alright now." He leaned down and gave her a warm, gentle kiss.

Kurumu's mind was still sluggish. She was slow to understand what Tsukune was saying, but she was quick to understand that he was happy with her. And that he was kissing her again. This was a different kiss. It was a kiss of warm emotions and sharing. Kurumu liked the hungry, passionate kiss, but this was good too. All too soon, the kiss was over.

Tsukune stayed with Kurumu for a little while, making sure that she would be all right. She was a little unsteady on her feat at first, and slow witted as well. With a little conversation she was able to get her mind working again and her body to follow suit. When he was sure Kurumu had recovered, Tsukune excused himself.

When Tsukune lay down for the night he was feeling close to normal. He was aware of his youki, but it was like being aware of a sleeping dog in the room; it was there, but as long as Tsukune didn't provoke it, it would ignore him. Tsukune was also aware of Hiru. It wasn;t surprising that he was aware of the creature because it was in the room, and wanted to put its head on Tsukune's stomach.

Tsukune was relieved that his youki crisis was resolved, at least for the moment. As he settled in to his bed, Tsukune was free to worry about other things. In the morning he had to attend the closing ceremony. Among all the other things that had been going on, he had been participating in Student Counsel business. He had to attend meetings as captain of the Student Police, in addition to being class president. The only bright point in those meetings for Tsukune was the presence of Moka, his class vice president. In his recent shifts with the Student Police he had passed word that he wanted all members, active and auxiliary to be present. Tsukune would be up in front of everybody with the Student Counsel, and he intended to have the Student Police en mass along the sides of the gymnasium, emphasizing peace and safety for the students.

After the closing ceremony it would be time to say goodbyes. Mizore was headed home to her family. And so was Moka and Kokoa, and Yukari. Kurumu was going home to her mother as well. Tsukune would head home after the others. That thought reminded Tsukune of another worry.

Tsukune's mother was expecting Tsukune to be bringing company home. Ruby was going to be coming with him, and his other friends were all invited to visit, as long as they minded their manners this time. Tsukune worried how well things would go with his mother. Tsukune trusted Ruby to behave, as much as he trusted Moka, but there were going to be problems. Tsukune did not know what the problems were going to be, but he knew in his bones that he would find out. Tsukune scratched Hiru's head as he thought about how his break would go, and fell asleep listening to her purr.
