High Schoolers are still Real Monsters 4
Disclaimers I don't own Rosario + Vampire please support any to all official releases.
The Osore Academy was entering its busiest week as students were gathered around to join any to all school clubs, with many already knowing who and were to join, while many more were curious to scope some club rooms out.
And there were those who had zero interest and wish to be part of the banned going home club.
And who'd had thunk our that our group of 4 misfits would've been those students as they all sat together under a tree far away from the action.
"This bites, like really" said Tsukune, "Yeah, I mean I got a life outside of school" said Kurumu, "A life that involves double clicking the mouse" said Yukari under her breath.
"Don't think I didn't heard that you little twerp" yelled Kurumu as she and Yukari locked arms and began to wrestle.
"Come on guys, it sucks but we gotta find a club room or risk expulsion" said Moka, "Kinda strict if you ask me" said Tsukune that even by a reputable school, that standard goes way off the bar.
"Well we're not gonna join a club by standing here, let's go club hunting" said Moka, "The only club hunting I'd like to do is the one that serves cocktails" said Tsukune as Kurumu high fived him for that zinger.
As they passed by the many school booths, the group realized the school offered a plethora clubs to join, with your standard clubs such as baseball, photography, and cooking, but it also had some interesting ones such as the cat lovers club, professional nappers club, and the preppers club.
"Any of them stands out to you guys" asked Tsukune as he quickly realized he was talking to himself since the girls had all been approached by boys that clearly wanted them to either help boost club membership to even dating them as their ulterior means.
"Moka you definitely should join us and the facts of life club" said one boy, "Kurumu, please join our magic club, you'd be great assistant or even a trainee" said a different boy, "Yukari, I think you're the perfect representative to the magical girl appreciation club" said a different boy.
Talk about being overly thirsty, thankfully Tsukune is here to bail us out, thought Moka as she realized Tsukune wasn't with them.
"Hey where's Tsukune" asked Moka, "I thought he was with you" said Kurumu, "You girls may not want to see or believe this, but I think I see Tsukune approaching the Yaoi Club" said Yukari as both girls had their jaws dropped.
Turning their heads, they did saw not only Tsukune at the infamous booth, but also he was casually flirting up with their whole female members.
What the hell Tsukune, aren't I woman enough for you already, thought Kurumu as she was boiling in jealousy.
What do you see in those girls, your own personal harem, hello what about us, thought Moka as she looked very green eyed with envy.
I didn't know Tsukune swung that way, thought Yukari with a blush as they all ignored the scouters as they marched toward Tsukune, ready to give him a piece of their minds.
The reality was that unfortunately, Tsukune wasn't flirting with the girls, nor did he swung that way, completely at least, he just wanted to chat with their members because he saw a familiar looking piece of art hanging.
"Please Tsukune, you gotta let us meet Hipster Vampire, his style along with his story telling is a work of art that should be hung next to the Mona Lisa" said one of the girls.
"I don't know about meeting him, but I will tell him how I did get to meet his biggest fan group, and maybe, just maybe hook you all up with an early issue of his next doujinshi that's in the works as we speak" said Tsukune as he got all the girls to squeal in joy, before they went dead silent.
"What's wrong girls" asked Tsukune as he felt a dark aura behind him as he slowly turned his head to face Kurumu, Moka, and Yukari.
"Hey girls, what's up" asked Tsukune nervously as he felt he did something to piss them off for no reason just now.
"We're gonna have a serious talk right now buster" said Kurumu as she grab one ear, "That's right, now come along Tsukune" said Moka as she grabbed the other one and started pulling him away.
Once they find a safe spot to chat, Tsukune finally got his ears back as he was getting glared at by Kurumu and Moka.
"Ok, I don't know what I did wrong, but seriously I don't think I deserved to get my ears pulled like that, in public no less" said Tsukune, "You were seriously flirting with those rotten girls with bad taste in smut, and were eating up their attention" said Kurumu with her finger accusingly pointing at him.
"That's right plus you said you weren't looking to be in a relationship and were trying to avoid causing attention around you, so what gives Tsukune" said Moka.
"Fine I'll tell you, the girls had put up a wall scroll of a character I recognized because that character was created by one of my friends, who is in fact a famous yaoi artist" said Tsukune as the girls gave a 'huh'.
"Wait, you have a friend who makes yaoi doujinshi in his free time, who are they" asked Yukari, "Don't tell anyone, but it's my old friend Ren aka Hipster Vampire" said Tsukune.
"Wait Hipster Vampire as in the Hipster Vampire, the same one who got contracted to make a few scenes for the popular multi dating simulator gave HuMan Prom" asked Yukari.
"The one and only" said Tsukune with a smile, "Oh my god, why didn't you tell me, I'm a huge fan of the HuMan Prom series, including its spin off games HuMan Camp and HuMan Road Trip" said Yukari.
"You know what, I think I did heard about HuMan Camp before, I think one of my older sisters plays it casually" said Moka with her finger pressed on her lip.
"I recommend giving it a try, in fact maybe we should all play the game together once" said Yukari excitingly.
"Like hell you'll see me play one of those nerdy games, last thing I need is to be grouped as one of those loser otaku's that sits in the back room playing games" jeered Kurumu.
"How about we plan this at a later date, for now we should really focus on looking for a school club to join" said Tsukune as he really didn't want to see these 2 fight again.
Joining back with the other students, the group stayed close together before another group pushed them towards in front of the swim team.
"Welcome to the swim team" said a beautiful girl as she had a million watt smile on her face, light ocean blue hair, and was mainly wearing a bikini with a large scarf covering her lower half.
"My name is Tamao Ichinose, I'm captain of the swim team, and we could use some new blood recruits, plus we're offering free pool day to allow new members to mingle and have fun before commitment" said Tamao as she went and wrapped her arms around Tsukune.
"Oh um, thanks for the offer, but we don't have our swimsuits on us right now" said Tsukune, "Not to worry you guys can use some rentals that we have in stock, now come on and have some fun in the water" said Tamao as she began to drag Tsukune away, in hopes of getting the rest of the group.
"You know what, this sounds like the perfect opportunity to get Tsukune to notice me and finally get him to start dating me for once" said Kurumu, "Plus it would feel nice to go out for a swim" said Yukari as they began to follow Tsukune but stopped when they notice Moka hasn't taken a step.
"Moka is everything alright" asked Yukari, "Yeah, I'm fine, let's just go already" said Moka in a very hesitant manner, which did not go unnoticed by the duo.
Once they all had on their swim wear, sans Moka, the group wasted no time in taking a dip in the pool where they palled around and got comfortable with the other members.
"Wow Tsukune, you've got a really good form, you wouldn't happen to be part of a swim team back in your old school now, would you" asked Tamao, "Nothing like that, I just happened to be taught by my grandfather every time I visited him during the summer" lied Tsukune.
Truth of the matter it was more of a sink or swim situation since during one summer camp trip, he learned that the life guards were high off their rocker 24/7 and couldn't be bothered to lift a finger, leaving a handful of kids to die by drowning, so naturally Tsukune had not only taught himself but also acted as junior unlicensed, unpaid life guard along with one of his other childhood friends, Mia, who not only happened to be a mermaid, but an heiress as her family was known for running a successful pirating business.
"That's sweet, I was actually taught by my dad as well" said Tamao, "Nice" said Tsukune as they both continued to race a few laps back and forth, but during their session, Tsukune did notice not only Kurumu's nip slip amongst her wrestling with Yukari in the pool, but also Moka, still in uniform was sitting far from the pools ledges.
Wonder what's up with Moka, thought Tsukune as he was waken from his day dreaming when Tamao splashed water at his head.
"Wakey-wakey sleepy head, I now need you to answer a very important question for me" said Tamao with a smile, "Um, what is it" asked Tsukune innocently enough.
"Would you like to join the swim team as an official member Tsukune, cause honestly I do like what I see from you, and you may even have potential in leading us towards nationals" said Tamao.
"Whoa pump the breaks for minute, aren't you putting a little too much pressure on me now" said Tsukune as he backed away from her.
"Please really consider joining us Tsukune, I'd make me really happy, and if you do choose to stay, I could sweeten the deal by turning you into a real man, if you know what I mean" said Tamao as she pressed herself real close to Tsukune.
"Oh, um, thank you, but I already have a girlfriend back home" said Tsukune as he tried to back away from her, but soon found himself backed up against the pool wall.
"That's fine, I'm not offering something in terms of commitment, I'm just saying we could remain friends, with benefits" said Tamao as Tsukune was no joke tempted by the offer, but before he could say anything, he notice Moka stood over him.
"Leave him alone, Tsukune doesn't want to join your club and he most certainly doesn't have any interest of being friends with benefits" said Moka as she wasn't aware Tsukune could see her pink laced panties from his angle.
"What's the matter, afraid that I might steal your boy toy, miss I can't swim so that's why I chose not to hop in the pool" said Tamao as this really struck Moka.
"That's… not important, now please let go of Tsukune, we're leaving" said Moka as Tamao scoffed at her, "And this has nothing to do with you, now beat it" said Tamao before splashing water at Moka.
"You…" said Moka as she began to storm her way out the pool, leaving Tsukune to fend for himself.
"Moka wait" said Tsukune as he tried to reach for her but was pulled back by Tamao, "Look, I know you feel like you have choice in the matter, but the truth is, you don't" said Tamao as the atmosphere started to turn.
"You see Tsukune as captain of the swim team, I have a very big, very important role here, especially since our academy has a very prestigious reputation. A reputation that has been tainted since last year, when our former captain had lead our team into failing so hard we didn't even make it to regional" said Tamao.
"Now that I'm in charge, I took an oath to not repeat those same mistakes and I will do anything and everything in my power to ensure that I not only recruit the best, but also restore our honor and ride us all to victory" said Tamao.
"So Tsukune, would you be so kind to join or swim team peacefully and make wonderful memories here during your time at the academy, or do I have to make those memories traumatic" said Tamao.
Yup, definitely reminds me of Mia, with a little bit Aika, thought Tsukune as he did recall Mia being a bit genocidal, while his friend Aika was born as a bad bitch mob boss, ready to make life itself her bitch.
"Hey, back off, if Tsukune doesn't want to join your team, than you leave him alone" said Kurumu, "Yeah" said Yukari as they got Tamao to look at them.
"I've no need for either of you, you 2 are free to go, him on the other hand would be a terrible waste" said Tamao, "You listen here" said Kurumu before she got smacked over the back of the head with a volleyball.
"What the hell" shouted Kurumu, "Let me tell you something honey, this water here, is my domain, so everyone here who enters it must follow my every rule and whim, including our water polo team, and synchronized swim team" said Tamao as fit boys carried volleyballs in their hands, while girls carried hoops of all shapes and sizes in their hands.
"Kurumu, we should leave now and come back later" said Yukari as she was looking at their situation with rationality.
"But what about Tsukune" said Kurumu as she was determined to not abandon him.
"You know, I was hoping you would step up, before I had to come back" said Moka as she came back with her hair white again, and her wearing a red on black flame bikini as she held a bunch of water guns over her shoulder, and a spud cannon in one hand.
"Look who came back, the little baby who wet herself and can't swim" mocked Tamao as Moka shot her a death threatening stare.
"Shut the fuck up before I make you choke on a potato. Now release Tsukune or else" said Moka, "Or else what, you're gonna come in the water and kick my ass miss scaredy cat" said Tamao as her own goons circled around her.
"Don't think I won't, now for the last god damn time, let go of Tsukune, you bikini wearing water skank" said Moka as Tamao was done dealing with the group of friends.
"Guys, evict these 3 bimbos" said Tamao as one water polo member was barely out the pool approaching Moka, before she back kicked him, before aiming her spud cannon in the guy's face, knocking him out for the count.
"Come get some" said Moka as she tossed the water guns over to Kurumu and Yukari.
"I don't know how these'll help, but it's better than nothing" said Kurumu as she fired some water in a girls face as she reeled back screaming in pain as she held her eyes.
Curious to know what cause her sever pain, Yukari dabbed her finger at the end of the barrel and found the contents to be tasty as if she was eating everyone's favorite potato chip.
"It's salt and vinegar, Moka must have filled the water guns with salt and vinegar" said Yukari as Kurumu sprayed a few students to prove her theory right.
"Alright, now we can finally kick some ass" said Kurumu as the girls went to town on many of the members, causing a lot of them to flee from the pool and carried their injured friends out to safety.
"There, I think that was all of them, now where's that slutty captain so I can kick her ass" said Moka before her head was caught in a net, before being forcibly pulled into the deep end of the water.
"You bitch, you'll pay for this" said Tamao as she finally got Moka in the water, "Moka" shouted Tsukune as he dived in to rescue Moka from drowning after he pushed Tamao away.
Wasting no time, Tsukune dragged Moka out of the water, and near the shallow ledging of the pool as she held onto him for her dear life.
"Moka, you're safe now, Kurumu and Yukari are here to take you somewhere safer" said Tsukune as Moka slowly opened her eyes to see her friends were waiting in hand for her.
"Come on girl, we won because of you" said Kurumu as she helped Moka out the pool as Yukari had a towel ready for her.
"Tsukune, don't you dare walk away from me, cause if you think this is over, you're wrong" said Tamao as Tsukune was now looking at her annoyed.
"You girls take Moka away from here, I'm gonna settle things from here" said Tsukune, "Don't you at least want me to stay" asked Yukari.
"I'll be fine, just promise me not to let someone else come in here" said Tsukune as the girls nodded in agreement before finally exiting the pool.
"Look I don't know what your damage is, nor do I care, but what you did to Moka was way out of line" said Tsukune, "Like I care, cause mark my words, this isn't the end, cause I will not stop till I get what I want" said Tamao.
"You do know the things you say and do could get you in trouble, like I don't know expulsion comes to mind" said Tsukune.
"Do you think this school cares for bullying, cause they don't not by a long shot as they teachers and students will do anything and everything to maintain the schools reputation, even if it means someone gets hurt even killed at least once a year" said Tamao as this didn't sit well with Tsukune for one minute.
Mom was right, humans are the most disgusting animal on this planet, thought Tsukune as his blood boiled and his skin turned to black.
"If that's what you believe in and how the school plans to run itself, than I got news for you, you're all so fucked the moment you all accepted me coming here" said Tsukune as the atmosphere really turned dark now as his phobias emerged with one holding a spiked bat, one was slitting their fingers across their throats, and the last one was pounding its fist.
"Here I am, just trying to cruise through highschool, and avoid causing attention to myself and what I am, but you know what, I've deemed this to be an excellent exception once more" said Tsukune as he took on the figure that Tamao feared most as it was the one monster, one man who ruled the waters that haunts her.
It wasn't Poseidon, or the Kraken, or the Megalodon, it was Jason Voorhees as he now stalked Tamao.
"No, stay away, you're not real, you're just a fictional character from a movie" said Tamao as she tried to swim for the other direction, but Jason was already behind her as he began to raise his machete up high into the air with one hand as he held Tamao in place with the other.
Looking deep into Tsukune's eyes, she didn't see the shy quiet teenage boy with a harem, she saw the eyes of an immortal slasher who takes pleasure in killing teenagers like her as a peace offering for his deceased mother.
Knowing what'll happen next, Tamao let out an ear piercing shriek that only those near the school pool could have heard it.
Later
Fully changed and showered, the girls waited patiently near a vending machine drinking juice just as Tsukune arrived on scene.
"Tsukune, is everything alright" asked Kurumu, "Yeah, I'm fine, I don't think we'll have to worry about Tamao anytime soon now" said Tsukune as he didn't kill the girl, he just left her scared stiff on the side of the pool, knowing someone will check up on her before the days end.
"That's good to hear" said Yukari, "Yeah. Hey Moka, how are you doing" asked Tsukune.
"I'll be fine thank you" said Moka as she drank her juice, "No, I should be thanking you, for saving me when you didn't know how to swim" said Tsukune as this really struck a nerve with Moka that she couldn't help but stomp her heel on his foot.
"OW!" shouted Tsukune, "What the hell Moka" said Kurumu, "I'm tired of you people assuming that I don't know how to swim" stated Moka.
"Wait if you know how to swim, than why do you hate the swimming pool so much then" asked Yukari.
"I don't hate swimming pools, I hate large bodies of water" said Moka as this surprised everyone.
"You might want to fill us in on the details here" said Kurumu as Moka gave a heavy sigh.
"When I was a kid, I took a family trip out into the ocean, however there was tidal wave that threw me and my sisters overboard, and for the moment we all feared that we were all going to drown, up until our father saved us all effortlessly" said Moka as she shuttered a little.
"Even though we're alive and well, none of us were able to overcome our fear of entering the water" said Moka as she lowered her head down in shame.
"Hey, there's nothing to be ashamed about having phobias, especially from a traumatic experience, cause I know" said Tsukune, "He's right you know, having fear is what makes us human" said Yukari.
"Yeah so quit apologizing for something you're not in control of, besides I think you showed some real guts coming back and rescuing us" said Kurumu as their words brought Moka some comfort.
"Well, I don't know about you guys, but I think I'm gonna go home and call it a day and start searching for another school" said Tsukune.
"But why Tsukune" asked a heartbroken Kurumu, "Well none of us ever did found a club to join" said Tsukune, "He's right, all the club booths are closed by now" said Yukari as the realization was weighing on them pretty heavy.
"No way, this so can't be the end, I mean seriously, my mom is gonna freak once she hears I got kicked out of here" said Kurumu, "Yeah, my parents are gonna be pretty pissed at me too" said Moka as she felt down once more.
"I mean it could be worse, it's not like we're all going to different schools now, less we all agreed to go to the same school after this, right" said Yukari optimistically.
"Honestly I was planning to go to an all-boys school after this" said Tsukune, "My mom said she would send me a school somewhere in America if I got kicked out" cried Kurumu, "My dad said if I screw this up, I'll be home schooled till I finish college" said Moka.
Yeah pretty much their friendship was over and all hope was lost if not for a frantic Nekonome running towards them.
"Students" called Nekonome, "Ms. Nekonome, what's up" asked Tsukune, "Please tell me you kids aren't part of any school clubs" asked Ms. Nekonome.
"No" stated the group, "Oh thank heavens, that means you kids need to join a club right" said Nekonome with sparkles in her eyes.
"Well, yeah" said Moka, "Than I got the perfect club for you, the school newspaper club" said Nekonome as the group gave a 'huh'.
"Please, you all must join, we only have one member at this point and if I don't have at least 5 students join by the end of the day, I'll be a laughing stalk amongst my fellow teachers" cried Nekonome.
Seeing as they don't have much of a choice the group of friends looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
"Alright, you've convinced us, we'll join the school newspaper club" said Tsukune, "Oh thank you, I owe you kids big time" said Nekonome as she collected their signatures, before the group was left to themselves.
"Ok, crisis averted, now what" asked Kurumu, "I mean we go on with our day like normally right" said Yukari.
"Right, so I'm gonna go ahead and call it a half day" said Tsukune, "Agreed, I already risk exposing myself to people the longer I sit hear letting people see my real hair like this" said Moka.
"Yeah, plus I'm pretty sure there's a chance those punks back at the pool will play the victim, so let's go home and call it day and deal with the consequences tomorrow" said Kurumu as Yukari let out a heavy sigh.
"So is this our norm, skipping out on school every other day" said Yukari as she decided to join the group.
"You don't have to join us you know, no one here is forcing you" said Tsukune, "I know, it's just more fun hanging with you guys is all" said Yukari as they went to grab their travel gear and get themselves some burgers and booba tea, while preparing for the next chapter in their school lives.
