It was near the last ten seconds of the all-female soccer game; Yōkai Academy was up against another school, and the score was tied. Right now, the soccer ball was being dribbled right under Tsuki Aono's foot and being kicked to the opponent's goal. She dribbled the ball left to avoid one soccer player; the right to avoid two others; now there was nothing standing in her way of shooting the goal. "You won't be scoring another point! THIS SHOT IS FOR MAKO-SAN!"
*PUNT*
Tsuki hit the soccer ball with a hard drive shot, sending the ball past the goalie and into the net…
"GGGGGGGGGGGGGGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!"
Yōkai Academy had won, and all the students and soccer players cheered for their winner, especially Mako, whom Tsuki gave a thumbs-up to.
Later that day, Mako and Tsuki stood under a tree.
"I-Is it really okay, Tsuki?" asked Mako timidly. "After almost one month of you staying at Yōkai Academy?"
"Yes," whispered Tsuki.
"Thank you so much," Mako leaned her head to Tsuki's, "for allowing me to suck your blood for the first time."
*BITE*
Tsuki opened his eyes right at the end of his daydream. But just then, she saw Mako actually sucking her blood.
"YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
"Thanks for letting me suck your blood for the first time, Tsuki," Mako said sometime later as he and Tsuki headed to Yōkai Academy. He waited for a response but never got one. "Tsuki?" He turned around and saw Tsuki looking like a melting flesh-skeleton with very little (if any) blood left, walking right behind her very slowly. "TSUKI!"
"Good morning, class," said Mr. Nekonome in class. "Today, you shall be attending club activities."
"Club activities?" thought Tsuki.
(Tsuki's Daydreams)
"GGGGGGGGGGGGGGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!"
"Thank you so much," Mako leaned her head to Tsuki's, "for allowing me to suck your blood for the first time."
(End of Daydreams)
"You will gain a better understanding of humans by experiencing human-made activities through some sweat in club activities!" explained Mr. Nekonome. "They will allow you to fully transform into humans this way!"
"Um, Nekonome-sensei…" one student said while raising his hand.
"Yes?"
"What's that behind you?"
Mr. Nekonome looked behind where the student was pointing and saw a cat tail attached to him "…RAWR~!"
*SCRATCH* *SCRATCH*
Mr. Nekonome terrifyingly and embarrassingly clawed at the boy's face.
Later that day, Mako and Tsuki were looking around the various club activity booths.
"Join the Phantom Photography Club!" said one booth runner. "Take terrifying ghost pictures!"
"Join the Chemistry Club!" said another. "Learn how to make magic love powder!"
"Join the Acupuncture Club!"
"The Mummy Club!"
Tsuki ended up running from nearly every club since they were all abnormal. "ISN'T THERE A REGULAR SCHOOL CLUB?"
Kōmura Nazo says:
Of course not. WHEE!
*BAM* *THUD*
Tsuki ended up crashing into something and landed on her back. "…OW! WHAT THE…" She then found that she was laying on something very rigid on the floor. Looking down, she saw herself sitting on a half-naked man. "EEEEKK!" She quickly jumped off the man and tried to—
"HEY WAIT! DON'T YOU WANNA JOIN THE SWIMMING CLUB?"
Tsuki froze at what she heard. "The Swimming Club!" She turned around to the man who got up; the man had turquoise-colored hair, yellow-colored eyes, and was wearing a purple speedo. "The Swimming Club?" Tsuki asked the man.
"Yes," the man said. "I'm Ichinose Tomoya, captain of the Swimming Club. And we're looking for beautiful girls to join since…we don't have any…yet…"
"Really?" Tsuki could just imagine it…
(Tsuki's Daydream)
Tsuki swam at the speed of sound from one end of the pool to the other; she was very athletic back in the human world, so sports like swimming and soccer were simple fundamentals in her life.
As she crawled out of the pool, wearing a one-piece green swimsuit, she was suddenly greeted by a pair of manly legs. She looked up and saw Mako, holding his hands behind his back, looking away in shyness, and wearing a light blue speedo.
"So, what do you think?" the vampire boy asked timidly.
Looking up from Mako's bulges to the naturally curved lumps on his ab-ified chest, Tsuki almost got a nosebleed. "WOW! YOU LOOK SO SEXY, MAKO-SAN! Um, not to sound like a pervert, but…mind if I feel your chest before we go swimming?"
Mako gave her a shocked face as he saw her literally drooling. "That's kinda weird," he said slowly, right before cheering up and smiling, "but not at all! Go ahead!"
Excited, Tsuki made a lecherous face and pressed it, as well as her hands, on her boyfriend's manly chest. "Oh, the softness…oh, the sweetness…oh, the—"
(End of Daydream)
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING, TSUKI?!" Mako cried as he caught up with Tsuki.
Tsuki snapped out of her daydream and saw her hands and face on Tomoya's chest. Following a brief moment of a burning red face, she screamed "YIKES!" and jumped back. "I-It's not what you're thinking, Mako-san!" she told the angry Mako frantically. "I was just daydreaming and then—"
"She joined our Swimming Club!" said Tomoya.
"Swimming…Club?" Mako suddenly gave a terrified face.
"Oh yeah! Let's try it out!" Tsuki said with joy in her eyes.
"WHAT? Uh…no thanks."
"Huh? What's wrong?"
"It's just that…I don't really like water," said Mako timidly. "I'm sorry, Tsuki."
Mako began to walk away and take Tsuki with him when Tomoya leapt onto her from the back, pressing his manly chest against her. "Suit yourself, pink-boy!" the Swimming Club captain said in a teasing fashion. "Come on, Tsuki-chan!" he whispered into Tsuki's ear. "We're gonna have a lot of fun in the pool together…"
Mako suddenly stopped and turned around to see Tomoya lecherously embracing Tsuki from behind. Puffing his cheeks, he stormed back over to the swimming club booth and yelled, "On second thought, SIGN ME UP!"
(Ten Minutes Later)
All the girls hung out and swam with the male club members. Tomoya was teaching Tsuki how to swim; Tsuki wore a turquoise one-piece swimsuit with yellow horizontal stripes on the side. Mako, on the other hand, sat against the steel fence, twirling his hair strand and glaring at Tsuki and Tomoya's interactions in jealousy.
"Now turn your arms like this…" Tomoya said from right behind Tsuki as he took her arm and moved it like in a swimming formation.
"Uh, Senpai," asked the timid human girl, "don't you think you're a little too close?"
"…You're cute…" whispered the swimming captain. He wrapped himself around Tsuki, pressing his chest against her back, and Tsuki blushed madly, thinking, "Oh my god! He has more abs than Mako-san!"
Witnessing all of this, that was the last straw for Mako. "THAT'S IT!" he yelled as he stood up. "Tsuki, I'm starting to think you joined the swimming club just so you could meet boys, didn't you?! WELL, I'M OUTTA HERE!" And so he began to storm off.
"Wait, Mako-san!" cried Tsuki. "This is all a misunderstanding! What's your problem?"
"NO! I understand perfectly! I told you that I hate—"
*SPLASH*
All of a sudden, Tomoya splashed water at Mako, who ended up screaming, "AAAHHHHH!" in terror
"You know," said Tomoya, "if you don't wanna swim, then you can always leave."
*SPLASH*
He splashed water at Mako again, but this time it came into contact with part of Mako's body, causing the vampire boy to scream, "AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!" in pain and even more terror.
Tsuki, noticing Mako's strange behavior with water, became confused and guilty.
"I CAN'T STAY HERE ANY LONGER!" Mako began tearing up and fled.
"Mako-san! WAIT!" cried Tsuki.
"NO! Just leave me alone!" Mako cried as he ran out of the pool area.
Tsuki just stood in the pool, sadly whispering, "Mako-san…" She looked around at all the club attendants having fun and soon—
*GROPE*
Suddenly, a pair of hands emerged from under the water and grabbed Tsuki's breasts, surprising the human girl. "EEEEEEKK!" she screamed. She turned around and saw a boy with aqua-colored hair and a yellow speedo emerge from out of the water and give the girl a friendly "hello" wave and silly smile with his eyes closed.
"KUMARU-KUN?! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?" Tsuki screamed in embarrassment.
"Hey, Tsuki, I came to join the swimming club just to be with you!"
Tsuki just stared at him with a big tear on her head.
Just then, Kumaru turned around and, thinking he was in front of an audience, shouted, "WHAT THE HELL?! I JUST DEBUTED IN THE LAST CHAPTER; COULDN'T I HAVE AN EARLIER APPEARANCE?!"
Kōmura Nazo says:
Who exactly is he talking to? WHEE!
Mako continued running and eventually arrived at a back alley of the school. He slumped against a wall and slid down to his butt, holding himself in a shivering fashion.
*GLOW*
"WHAT THE HELL, YOU DUMB LITTLE PUSSY?!" said the voice from Mako's Rosario Cross all of a sudden, shocking the vampire boy. "DID YOU FORGET THAT WATER IS A VAMPIRE'S GODDAMN WEAKNESS?!"
Vampire Bite-Size Dictionary:
Due to the strong "purification" power in the water, vampires are weak against water. In order for a vampire to enter water, they would need a water antidote herb.
"WHA?! Who the hell are you?" Mako gasped.
"Your body is actually MY body; you're just my pussy human form used to seal me away whenever you wear my Rosario Cross," continued the Rosario Cross. "Don't let your ASSHOLE of a girlfriend ruin you like that!"
"T-Tsuki," he whispered to himself. Just then, the thought of Tsuki swimming with Tomoya crossed his mind once again. Jealousy consumed him as he got back up to head back to the pool.
"Where are you going, you pussy?!" his Rosario Cross angrily responded. "I hope you're not going back to that pool again!"
Back at the swimming pool, Kumaru swam around trying to get Tsuki's attention, but Tsuki just stood lonely in the pool, feeling guilt-ridden about how she treated Mako.
"Hey, Tsuki," asked Tomoya from right behind him, "what's wrong?"
"…Ichinose-senpai…I can't stay here anymore," Tsuki sighed with a bow just before she tried to leave. "I'm terribly—"
"I'm afraid you can't leave, Tsuki-chan!" Tomoya grabbed Tsuki's arm tightly. "You just smell so good!"
All of a sudden, the Swimming Club boys began biting into the flesh of the girls and sucking them to where the girls became withered husks. Tsuki became shocked at what he saw and turned back to Tomoya, who had just changed in his appearance; now he had gills on his neck, longer fingernails, and his legs and ears had turned into fins. "I'm terribly sorry, Tsuki-chan," Tomoya said in a sinister tone, "but us MERMEN have a purpose of luring women into the waters so we can suck the life out of them to continue living; much like our mermaid counterparts have done to men!"
Bite-Size Monster Dictionary:
Merman
Differing from the sweet image they have had from well-known fairy tales; mermen are famous among sailors as a sign of a shipwreck. Mermen are ominous and feared water monsters. There are also legends that they cause shipwrecks by luring in ships with their beautiful figure, then attacking them.
And then, Tomoya jumped over Tsuki.
"Tomoya-senpai!" Tsuki gasped.
"And to be honest: I've been attracted to you since you first entered Yōkai Academy," continued the merman as he got closer to Tsuki, "especially your scent, which resonates similarly to that of a HUMAN!"
"HEY! I want some of her!" demanded another merman.
"Me too!" demanded another.
"Me three!"
"Me four!"
Kumaru, who had managed to escape the pool before being eaten, transformed into his incubus form to help Tsuki, but two mermen blocked his path. "Outta my way!" the incubus demanded.
Mako managed to reach the swimming pool; he rushed up the stairs and found Tsuki being attacked by Tomoya. "HOLD ON, TSUKI!" the vampire boy cried. He rushed for the pool, but then stopped by the edge in fear. His fear of water overtook him again, but when he heard a bloodcurdling scream come from Tsuki, he dived in to save her.
"MAKO-SAN! NO!" cried Kumaru.
But it was too late, Mako hit the water and soon, electric sparks emitted from the vampire boy and all throughout the water as he tried to stay above water, only to get severely damaged.
"Mako-san! What's going on?!" cried Tsuki.
"WHAT? YOU DON'T KNOW?" cried Kumaru. "VAMPIRES ARE WEAK AGAINST WATER!"
Tsuki became shocked at this discovery. "So THAT is why he hates water!"
Just then, Mako began sinking into the depths of the pool.
"MAKO-SAN!" Tsuki tried to break free from Tomoya, but Tomoya gripped her even harder. "I'm afraid not!" uttered the merman.
Just then, Kumaru ambushed him from behind and put him in a headlock, allowing Tsuki to dive under the water and save Mako. "He did it for me…to save me…even though he's WEAK against water, he tried to save me!" Getting close enough, Tsuki reached out to Mako, but grabbed his Rosario Cross, yanking it off.
*CHING*
Within a matter of seconds, the sky and water turned blood red as Mako began glowing bright pink. Thousands of bats flew into the water and then flew out…along with most of the pool water splashing out of the pool, revealing Mako in his vampire form.
Mako stood in the pool, glaring down his merman foe with a sinister grin.
"N-No way!" gasped Tomoya. "He's an…an actual SHINSO VAMPIRE! But no matter! You're still weak against water!" Tomoya, along with many other mermen, began splashing water at the silver-haired vampire boy, weakening him more as sparks emitted from his body.
Suddenly, Kumaru arrived and knocked Tomoya's henchmen out, yelling, "Not so fast!"
"I don't remember asking for your help," Mako responded coldly.
"You're welcome!" responded the annoyed Kumaru.
"You? Against me?" laughed Tomoya. "Don't make me laugh! You're still soaking wet, so you know who will win, right?"
"Why don't you come over here and find out, fishlips?" taunted Mako.
"…W-What did you just call me?"
"…FISHLIPS!"
In a moment, the insulted Tomoya dived into the water and charged at Mako as fast as he could, screaming, "THAT WAS A BIG MISTAKE! But I'll give one chance to apologize and beg for your life, and maybe…just maybe…I'll let you live!"
Mako became concerned at first, but then gave out a grin and said, "Never!" Then he leapt high into the air.
"YOU HAD YOUR CHANCE!" Tomoya leapt into the air right after Mako to bite into his flesh.
"You fell for it!" chanted Mako.
"What?"
"You may be strong in water," said Mako with an evil smile, "but in the air, you're NOTHING!"
"OH SHIT!"
"KNOW YOUR PLACE, BITCH!"
*BAM*
Mako kicked Tomoya back down, sending the merman zooming into the pool at high velocity and screaming, "AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
*SPLASH*
Upon Tomoya impacting the water, all the water flew out of the pool, leaving Tomoya, along with many of his mermen henchmen, lying in the pool in defeat, crackling, "Yes, Mako-san!"
Kōmura Nazo says:
This chapter's climactic battle took 302 words! WHEE!
Mako landed on the ground without any problems, but then fell onto his knees, feeling weak.
"Mako-san! Are you alright?" Tsuki cried as she ran up to the vampire boy and knelt down in front of him. "Wow! Even with all his vampire powers, it looks like he lost most of them when he was in the water."
*STRIKE*
Mako suddenly struck Tsuki's face with the back of his hand.
"M-Mako-san! What was THAT all about?" asked the shocked human girl.
"Don't BULLSHIT me! You know the reason!" Mako snatched his Rosario Cross out of Tsuki's hand and began storming off. "You made 'him' cry and didn't understand ANY of his feelings! I may not like that pussy, but that doesn't give YOU any right to mistreat him any more than ME!"
"I'm SO sorry, Mako-san!" Tsuki cried as she turned around. "I didn't know that vampires were weak against water."
Mako paused for a bit, twirled his hair strand, then slightly turned his head, saying, "Now you DO," before he continued off.
"…You're right, Mako-san," thought Tsuki tearfully. "I didn't understand you at all…but I do now."
The next day, Tsuki sat in homeroom looking out the window at the falling rain. "Man, Mako-san didn't show up. I guess he's still upset about yesterday."
(Three Days Later)
"Good morning, Tsuki!" Mako said with a bright cheerful smile.
"Mako-san! Where were you the past few days?"
"Oh, I'm sorry. I couldn't go to school because it was raining."
"Oh yeah. I totally forgot!"
"And I didn't have an umbrella to protect me."
"Ah, Tsuki-san! Mako-san!" said Mr. Nekonome all of a sudden. "So have either of you joined a club yet?"
"…No, Nekonome-sensei" the two teenagers said in unison while hanging their heads down. "We tried swimming a few days ago, but it didn't work out…believe me!" said Tsuki.
"In that case," said Mr. Nekonome holding out a flier, "how would you like to join a club to which I'm the advisor?"
Mako and Tsuki looked at the flier:
Wanted:
Newspaper Club Members
"Newspaper Club!" exclaimed Tsuki. "Sounds normal enough for me."
"Yeah. Right now, I only have one member and need about two more to get the club up and running before it gets shut down," said Mr. Nekonome embarrassingly.
"Then it's settled," said Tsuki happily. "I would LOVE to join the newspaper club."
"Me too!" said Mako. "It seems like a lot of fun, especially if Tsuki is joining."
"ME THREE!" said Kumaru.
*SLAP*
Kumaru slapped Tsuki's butt. "Any club that Tsuki joins is PERFECT for me, especially…" The incubus boy then pushed his face into Tsuki's cleavage while grabbing her boobs. "…with my BEST FRIENDS! You hear that, Lef-T and Righ-T? Daddy gets to be in the same club with—"
"GET REAL!" Mako knocked Kumaru away and embraced Tsuki with envy.
"Alright, then it's settled!" said Mr. Nekonome happily. "Tomorrow, you three shall meet me tomorrow at the club building, okay?"
"Of course," said Mako. "Oh, by the way, Tsuki, can I suck your blood again?"
"Sure…" said Tsuki, not hearing exactly what Mako said. "Wait! WHAT?!"
"THANK YOU!"
*BITE*
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
