Chapter 108

Kurumu was not a morning person. She only woke up in time for school because it was expected of her. On the weekends, Kurumu liked to sleep in, getting out of bed before noon only if she was going to be spending time with Tsukune. As she sat down to breakfast, she blessed Ruby for being so diligent, and wondered if she should try to be more of a morning person. Tsukune had woken before the dawn for a trip to the water closet. His return to bed had woken Kurumu enough to try to cuddle with him anew. She would have never expected Tsukune to respond to a simple cuddle the way had. Kurumu realized that all of the effort that Tsukune had put into resisting her advances was more than him just being shy. Now that he was willing to share himself with her, Tsukune channeled that same effort into making love with her. Afterwards, as they cuddled together once more, Kurumu realized what a favor Tsukune had done for her by not simply giving in to her in the beginning.

Kurumu realized that she had not been ready to share herself with Tsukune back when she first professed her love for him. In the beginning, Kurumu had chased after Tsukune for the challenge of it. When she first started to feel something for him, she had thought that it must be love, because she had never been in love before, and since Tsukune was a boy and she was a girl, love was the only way to have a relationship. Tsukune's resistance to her advances had given Kurumu time to grow up, and to truly love Tsukune, and not just be in love with a fantasy. Now that she had shared herself with Tsukune, Kurumu understood that there would be no going back to just being friends. If she had succeeded in seducing Tsukune two years ago it would have been a mistake, and it would probably have destroyed their friendships.

Before breakfast, Tsukune excused himself to get cleaned up. Kurumu decided to follow him for a little fun. She abandoned modesty and clothing as she followed an equally naked Tsukune into the bathroom.

"Tsukune," Kurumu was almost singing. "I want to wash your back."

"Alight," Tsukune agreed without any hesitation.

"Um..." Kurumu decided to try to press Tsukune's buttons. "Can I wash your front too?"

"Sure," Tsukune answered.

Kurumu wasn't sure if she should pout or not. It was like a favorite toy had stopped working right. She washed Tsukune's back quickly, and then his front. With soapy hands, she reached for his masculine flesh, and was startled by the fact that Tsukune didn't even flinch. Instead, Tsukune took a soapy cloth and started washing her. He started at her shoulders and worked his way down her sides. Kurumu had to abandon her hold of Tsukune's flesh as he reached for her breasts. As she knelt in front of him, his soapy hands and the rough cloth moved over her breasts and stimulated her nipples, until Kurumy was feeling warm all over. His hands continued to clean her body, working down her stomach to her waist and hips. Tsukune's hands moving towards her inner thighs made her tense with excitement.

"Turn around," Tsukune said in a gentle voice. "I'll wash your back."

Kurumu was a little dazed with excitement, so she didn't question Tsukune. She turned and presented her back to him, and was rewarded by the feel of his hands touching her. It felt good to have him scrubbing at her back, all the way down to her hips. When Tsukune stopped scrubbing and Kurumu suspected that he was ready to rinse off, she pouted a little. She didn't want her fun to end.

"Tsukune," Kurumu protested. "You're not finished." She let out her wings and tail."

"You know that everybody will be coming over to study today," Tsukune reminded her.

"Please?" Kurumu pressed. "Just a quick washing?"

"Yes dear," Tsukune smiled and sighed.

Tsukune was quick but careful as he washed Kurumu's youkai attributes. He washed both sides of her wings, mindful of her membranes and digits. Kurumu slapped his leg with her tail to make sure he didn't over look it. Again, her fun with Tsukune was reaching an end far too soon for Kurumu's liking.

"Tsukune," Kurumu complained. "You missed a spot." She leaned forward and put her hands to the floor. Spreading her knees a little, Kurumu looked back over her shoulder at Tsukune as she presented her round bottom for his inspection.

"Kurumu," Tsukune sighed with a grin.

"Well," Kurumu said. "I girl likes to be clean you know."

Tsukune gave her an unreadable look and knelt behind her. Kurumu sighed with pleasure as Tsukune washed her thighs, starting with her hips and working his way to her inner thighs. While he was gentle, Kurumu wished that he had been a little more thorough in his attention to detail.

"Tsukune," Kurumu teased. "What about under my tail?" Kurumu realized that she was blushing. She had never been so forward in her life, and not only was she feeling a little embarrassed by her behavior, but she was a little worried how Tsukune would take it.

"Kurumu," Tsukune said in a low voice as he leaned forward, slipping his arms around her waist. "You're just trying to provoke me again, aren't you?"

"Well," Kurumu blushed more deeply. Tsukune was right, but his soapy body moving against hers felt nice. "I just like teasing you."

"I understand that," Tsukune said. He slid his hands up and cupped her breasts. He used his hands to pull Kurumu back and up a little, mindful of her wings. "But I'm man, so I can only withstand so much." He bent his head lower, kissing Kurumu.

Kurumu welcomed Tsukune's kiss. He was being so assertive, and his body made hers tingle with excitement. Without thinking, she rolled her hips against his. Kurumu suddenly understood what Tsukune had been saying about having a limit to how much teasing he could take. His flesh was hot and hard against hers.

"Tsukune," Kurumu moaned.

She pressed her hips back against Tsukune and rolled her hips. She desired Tsukune's body, and wanted to share herself with him again. With a hungry moan, moved her body to take in Tsukune's flesh, at the same moment Tsukune had shifted his hips forward. Kurumu's moan became a gasp of shock. Tsukune's flesh penetrated her even as his mouth covered hers in a deep kiss. Kurumu didn't know what to do. Her body was moving on its own, accepting Tsukune's violation of her bottom while shocking sensations kept running up to her brain, keeping her form forming any coherent thoughts. Their union was passionate, but frantic at the same time. Kurumu had pressed and teased Tsukune, arousing him. She had been too excited to think things out, and now she was too excited to think at all. Tsukune's normal gentleness was absent as he coupled with Kurumu, making their union almost animalistic. Their passion and pleasure reached it's climax in unison. Tsukune's growl was lost in Kurumu's throaty cry.

A moment of awkwardness surround the couple as the calmed down form their moment of passion. Tsukune realized what he had done, and was afraid that Kurumu might be hurt by his actions, ether physically or emotionally. Kurumu was embarrassed by what had happened, but more by the fact that she had found such pleasure in it, and was willing to share her body with Tsukune in the same way again, than by the act it self. As the finished washing up, Tsukune tried to apologize, while Kurumu insisted that it was alright. She even offered to do it again, making Tsukune blush. In the end, they shared a gentle kiss as they dried off.

Ruby felt proud of herself. Tsukune's house was in perfect order. The windows and curtains were open, letting a gentle breeze flow though the little house. Everything was clean and fresh. The dishes from breakfast were all clean, dried, and put away. Tsukune had given her some special instructions while Kurumu was still dressing, and Ruby was proud to have carried them out in addition to everything else. By the time the others arrived for their study session, Tsukune's house was ready to receive them.

Moka arrived first, and was quick to embrace Tsukune. She was glad to see him, and to be close to him, but she was not going to let her emotions dull her awareness. As soon as she was within sight of Tsukune and Kurumu she was able to weight their youki.

'She's been feeding from him,' Inner Moka observed.

'That's not new,' Moka countered as she and Tsukune settled into place at the table. 'And that's not the part of Tsukune I'm interested in.'

"Tsukune," Moka kissed the side of his neck. "Did you have a good night?"

"Yes..." Tsukune started to answer.

"Yes, we did," Kurumu said, slidding her hand into Tsukune's lap.

"I wasn't asking you," Moka said with a glare for Kurumu.

She grabbed Tsukune and pulled his upper body close. She could smell Kurumu all over him, but she could smell him even more strongly. She kissed the side of his neck again, and could feel her inner self growling with desire.

"I had a good night," Tsukune said as he slipped an arm around Moka. "And a good morning. And now that you're here, my day is even better." He turned his head enough to give her a little kiss.

"Tsukune..." Moka said his name gently.

"Moka," Tsukune smiled and tilted his head away form her, exposing his neck.

"Tsukune..." Moka practically sighed as she lowered her lips towards his smooth skin.

Kurumu watched the exchange with a sense of frustration. As much as she wanted to push Moka away and claim Tsukune, she realized that it wouldn't do any good. Moka had won Tsukune's love first, and if anything, it was Kurumu who was the 'other woman.' She couldn't deny Tsukune and Moka their moment, but that didn't mean she had to leave them alone. She already had her hand in Tsukune's lap, so it was only a small movement to move it to his masculine bits.

Tsukune growled. Moka's warm mouth was stimulating the side of his neck, and Kurumu's hand was caressing his all to awake member. He slipped his free arm around Kurumu and pulled her close. Tsukune felt like a complete pig and resented himself for it, but he had to admit that it felt nice to be in his position.

Yukari was starting to wonder if someone had messed with her friends in some way. All morning long she had watched Moka and Tsukune, and Kurumu. She was irritated that Tsukune was letting Kurumu be so openly close and friendly. The fact that Moka and Kurumu seemed to have found a way to get along just didn't feel right to the young witch. The fact that Mizore had a happy little smile on her face didn't help. Yukari felt like she was being left out on a secret.

A part of the reason Yukari was feeling off balance was because Kurumu was acting differently. The boob monster was actually acting calm and modest. She kept smiling at Tsukune, which was normal, but she wasn't acting out to get his attention. Yukari tried to push Kurumu's buttons, but the succubus wasn't reacting they way she usually would. If life was more like a manga, Yukari would be looking for some kind of mind control device.

Tsukune was also acting differently. He was more relaxed than Yukari could remember since even before summer break. All the little bits that Yukari was noticing were piling up into one big puzzle. The strange behavior of her friends were distracting Yukari from her studying. It was so frustrating that the young witch was almost ready scream.

Lunch was the usual mixed event. Mizore and Moka both had bentos that they had brought to share. Kurumu didn't have an offering because she had spent the night. Ruby set out plates and utensils, and a respectable lunch that would augment what the other young women had brought. Lunch was like an in-door picnic. Tsukune took his time enjoying a plate of food, eating a little from each cook, before excusing himself from the table.

Tsukune wanted to give his friends a little surprise and some good news. He had already told Kurumu that he had finished training, and of course Ruby knew as well. Tsukune was going to share his news with the others, but he wanted to make a bit of an event out of it. He had asked ruby to make sure his police uniform was ready for him, for just this moment. Dressed in his dark blue suit, complete with all the trimmings, Tsukune returned to the front room. The visual impact he made was enough to silence the room.

"Everybody," Tsukune said with as serious face as he could manage. "I want to let you know, I have finished training." He pulled out his official identification and offered it for inspection. "I am now the captain of the local police force."

"Tsukune," Moka climbed to her feet. "Congratulations." She grabbed Tsukune in a big hug.

The other all offered congratulations. Tsukune knew that they were proud of him for succeeding and finishing his training. Not only was he becoming successful, starting a career before he even graduated, but they were happy because they all hoped that he would have more free time. Tsukune suffered his friends' attention as the inspected his new uniform fore a few minutes. He put it away and changed back to his normal clothing before returning to the study group.

The study group actually broke up earlier than usual. Tsukune had ended up with more free time than he had expected, so he had finished more of his work on Saturday. Kurumu had applied herself on Friday night so she wouldn't disappoint Tsukune, and had joined him for some study time on Saturday as well. For Moka, Mizore, and Yukari, the study group had always been more about socializing than needing help with their school work. It was still early afternoon when they ended the study session. Tsukune saw that everybody was just rereading their notes and papers and chatting idly. He decided that as nice as hanging out with his friends as a group was, he would rather have some more intimate time with Moka.

Tsukune deliberately closed his books and notes and packed them away in his school bag. He made a show of making sure everything was in its proper place, it was enough of a hint that the group session was over. Yukari was the only one that didn't immediately start following Tsukune's example. When she did start putting her notes away it was with a frown on her face.

Yukari wanted to stay with Tsukune and Moka. She believed that if she could just chose the right time, and the right argument, she could convince them to accept her in their love. If the boob monster could find a way to be close to Tsukune, than Yukari should be able to. Unfortunately, Yukari had not thought of the right argument just yet, so she was left with the choice of acting like a stubborn child, or to not appear hung up on her ambition and leave Tsukune and Moka alone. That was one bright spot in Yukari's world as she headed out the door. Tsukune and Moka were going to be together.

Once everyone else had left, Moka turned her attention to Tsukune. She cuddled him close and kissed him, greedy for his presence. She had been waiting all weekend to get him alone.

"Moka," Tsukune said between kisses. "Will you go out with me?"

Moka blinked as her mind went blank. Tsukune's question didn't make any sense. They were already lovers. They had been a couple for two years and more. Why would Tsukune be asking her to go out with him now?"

'Say yes you silly goose,' Moka's inner self yelled. 'He wants to go out with us right now. It's a date.'

"Yes," Moka said, still not thinking clearly. She and Tsukune were finally alone, and now he wanted to go out where people could see them.

Moka's brain finally started working as she and Tsukune stepped out side together. She thought that it was nice to go somewhere with Tsukune. That thought restarted her thinking and her mind kicked back into gear. Tsukune had some free time, and it was still early enough in the day to do something besides sitting quietly together. Something Moka and Tsukune had done rarely, and almost not at all so far this year, was to go out on any kind of date. Tsukune summoned Hiru, and together he and Moka rode into town.

The local town was a strange sort of place. Its most visible area was the shopping district that catered to the students and staff of the school. Everybody in the town was some kind of youkai that liked living something close to a normal human life, at least on the surface. But because Tsukune had chosen to live within the youkai would, he had learned to see what made the town different from the human places it mimicked. Seals, talismans, and charms were everywhere. In the human world they would have have been mostly decorations, or maybe a tradition based on folklore, such as the beckoning cat, in the youkai would these things were real and practical. Such differences were hard to ignore, especially when a Maneki Neko, when it saw Hiru coming his way, dropped his gilded oval sign and dashed into the ramen shop he was supposed to be attracting business for.

Tsukune 'parked' Hiru at the edge of the shopping district. As soon as he and Moka were standing on their own two feet, Hiru disappeared into the shadows. Taking Moka by the hand, Tsukune walked with her to look at the shops.

Moka wished she had been given a little warning before going out on a date. She would have worn something nice, and maybe added a little makeup, so that she would look good for Tsukune. But it was a real date, with just the two of them, and that made it special.

Tsukune was glad to have a chance to do something with Moka out in the open. He loved Moka, and loved spending time with her any way he could, but only doing things behind closed doors was not fair to her. After more than two years together as friends, and more, Tsukune had a pretty good idea of what kind of things Moka enjoyed, and shopping was one of them.

Tsukune, like most men, viewed shopping as more of a chore than an adventure. If he was shopping for something it was simply a mater of walking along and scanning the stores until he found what he was looking for, and than making his purchase and being done with it. All of the decision making was done quickly and quietly within his own mind. Tsukune had been shopping with his friends and his cousin enough times in his life to understand that women needed to make shopping an event. If two shirts that looked nearly identical to him, a woman needed to be compare them side by side, try them on, compare them with possible accessories, check to see how well they coordinate with skirts and trousers, and then ask someone else for their opinion. Tsukune really did not like shopping, but tolerated it for his friends' sake.

Moka had found her new favorite way to shop. She had Tsukune with her, which made everything better, and her inner self was alert as well. She could have fun with Tsukune, holding his hand and looking through windows, but when it came time to consider clothes and accessories, Moka, inner and outer, could consult with each other. It was the best of both worlds for Moka. She had Tsukune all to herself, and still had another woman to shop with. As an added bonus, her shopping partner, while also in love with Tsukune, wasn't in competition with her the way Mizore or Kurumu was. The only problem was that her inner self had a different sense of style, causing some arguments. When the two could not reach an agreement, Moka would call upon Tsukune to help out.

"Tsukune," Moka purred as she leaned against him, a shopping bag clutched to her chest. "Thank you for taking me out."

"Thank you," Tsukune smilled. "For going out with me."

"So tell me," Moka questioned. "Why did you want to go out so suddenly?"

"Because we could," Tsukune explained. "We suddenly had some free time to be together, and I don't want to always spend my time with you behind closed doors, as if we had to live in hiding."

"I see," Moka said.

"Plus I wanted to do something a little different to celebrate," Tsukune added.

"To celebrate finishing your training?" Moka asked.

"That too," Tsukune agreed. "But more to celebrate the success of being closer to making my future a reality."

"What do you mean?" Moka raised an eyebrow at him.

"Well," Tsukune smiled mischievously. "Correct me if I am wrong, but as a police captain, and not just for the Student Police, but as a member of the National Police Agency of Japan, I have authority and power. Doesn't that make me a better candidate for being beside you?"

"Yes," Moka suddenly blushed.

"And," Tsukune continued. "I am your sworn follower, Dame Moka, so doesn't my new rank elevate you higher, if maybe just by a little."

"Yes," Moka was overwhelmed with emotions.

Moka wasn't sure how she should feel. Tsukune had finished his training and successfully gained rank and position. He had every right to be happy and proud. Moka was happy for him and proud of him. But somehow, Tsukune had taken his success and turned it into something special for her. He was proving himself to be successful candidate for her hand, and at the same time he was being a loyal follower. Tsukune was being everything Moka could want. She crushed her shopping bag to her chest.

'Damn him to pieces,' Inner Moka raged. 'How dare he do this in public. I want to tear into him.'

Moka was shocked by the burning frustration coming from her inner self. She wanted to throw herself on Tsukune and smother him with kisses, but was holding herself back out of a sense of modesty. Her inner self also wanted to throw herself at Tsukune, but had a much more feral intent. Both sides of her agreed that some course of action was required.

"Tsukune," Moka said in a voice forced to sound calm.

"Yes, Moka?" Tsukune answered.

"Take me back to your house," Moka instructed. "Now."
