*THUMP*
One night, Tsuki sat in her futon, holding her neck in pain. "AAHHHH! My neck! It hurts!" She felt two holes in her neck. "The place where Mako bit me yesterday...is it swelling up? *SIGH* I hope it wears off tomorrow."
The next morning, Tsuki walked to school, still holding her neck. "AAHHHH! It STILL hurts!
"Ah! Morning, Tsuki!"
Looking back, the brunette human girl noticed a pink-haired boy running up to him. "Oh hey, Mako-san. You're early."
"Yeah, Nekonome-sensei told me to arrive at school early," said Mako, "because we're electing our class manager today." (For real this time.) Just then, he noticed Tsuki holding his neck. "Are you okay?" he asked.
"Huh? Oh, I'm fine." Tsuki moved her neck-grabbing hand behind her back to—
"*SIGH* Your neck! The bite marks!" exclaimed Mako. "They must be the same from the day before yesterday when Kotsubo-sensei attacked her and Shirayuki-san...but they should've healed by now and not leave any traces."
"Oh, don't worry, Mako-san," said Tsuki assuredly. "Besides, I only get nervous when you get too close."
"...D-Don't say things like that, Tsuki," said the pink-haired vampire boy nervously. "I...I feel the same way..." He slowly began to move his head closer...and closer...and closer...to Tsuki's—
*SWISH*
Suddenly, something flew right in between their faces and hit the tree. It was an ice kunai that read, "KEEPAWAY FROM MY TSUKI"
*WHOOSH*
Tsuki then felt a sudden cold breeze fly right past her as she felt somebody behind her. She turned around and saw...
"SHIRAYUKI-SAN! HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN BEHIND THAT TREE!" Tsuki screamed.
"Mizo..." the snow goth whispered as he came out. "Please call me 'Mizo'. I figure it would be appropriate considering how close we are, Tsuki."
"Say what?" thought Tsuki nervously. "O-Okay, Shirayu—er...Mizo-san. G-Good mor—"
"Morning, Tsuki!" Mizo suddenly grabbed her arm in a romantic way.
"And now, class," said Mr. Nekonome in homeroom, "I will now announce our new class manager: Aono Tsuki!"
"HOORAY!" The entire classroom (minus Mako) suddenly got up and cheered.
"WHAT?! ME!" Tsuki screamed.
"That's right! And it's all based on...ONE vote...and a COLD one at that..."
"Oh, you gotta be kidding me! I'm STILL the class manager...after the revote...and with ONE vote?" Tsuki grasped the back of her head in shock. Mizo turned his head back to her and gave her a wink.
"Of course!" the human girl thought. "I should've known Mizo-san would rig the ballot!"
"Oh and we have ONE vote for Akashiya Mako...as VICE Manager."
"Say what?!" gasped Mako.
"HOORAY!" The entire classroom (minus Tsuki) suddenly got up and cheered.
*SLIDE*
"*SCOFF* What the fuck is going on here? I've just reawakened from my damn coma, and I return to THIS shit?" asked a rudely familiar voice.
"Ah, Suzie-chan, you've finally recovered! That's good news!" said Mr. Nekonome. "Go ahead and take your seat."
Kōmura Nazo says:
MrWii000 has retconned the beginning of Chapter 5 in response to the coma. WHEE!
"Oh no, it's Suzie..." Tsuki's eyes widened in shock. "She must've recovered after her fight with Mako-san."
*SLAM*
"YOU?!" Suzie yelled as she slammed her hands on the class manager's desk. "You can't do anything without Mako-san to grope your boobs, and yet YOU become the class manager? While HE becomes VICE manager? Don't make me laugh! You couldn't kick my ass like everyone else assumed! Well...I will NOT stand for it..." She then sat down in her seat, glaring at Tsuki.
"Man, she's scary."
"Oh, she's just jealous because Tsuki whooped her ass at the beginning of the school year."
"SHUT UP!" Suzie suddenly yelled to the gossiping students. "How can these morons actually believe someone as wimpy as HER could defeat ME?"
Later that day, Tsuki looked at herself in the bathroom. "*SIGH* How do I keep getting involved in these types of situations?"
*THUMP*
Tsuki suddenly grabbed her neck in pain. "Not again! Why do my bite marks keep hurting? And not heal up?"
"HEY TSUKI-CHAN! WANNA EAT LUNCH TOGETHER!"
*GROPE*
Kumaru leapt onto Tsuki and began pushing his head into her cleavage, while his crotch lined up against hers.
"HEY! I WANNA HUG TSUKI-SAN TOO~desu!" yelled Yukinari.
"Hah! You're way too young and too small to do that!" laughed the incubus boy.
"S-SHUT UP, DICKHEAD!"
Kōmura Nazo says:
She ended up eating with both. WHEE!
"Tsuki-chan? What's wrong?" asked Kumaru.
"Yeah, you look kinda pale-desu," added Yukinari.
"It's...It's my neck," explained Tsuki. "My neck still feels kinda tense. And Mako-san's bite marks...are still there."
"WHAT bite marks?" asked the incubus boy.
"TSUKI!" cried a familiar voice.
"Ah, Mako-san!" exclaimed the human girl.
"Thank god I found you. Can I join you for lunch?" Mako took a seat next to his human girlfriend. "By the way, Tsuki, Nekonome-sensei was looking of you. He said he had some work for you as class manager."
"Class manager! Tsuki became class manager? That's so cool~desu!" yelled Yukinari.
"Yeah, and I became vice class manager."
"How the hell did THAT happen?" asked Kumaru.
"One vote for each," explained Mizo.
"EEK!" The four teenagers jumped out of their chairs in terror as they saw the snow goth peering his head out from under the table they were eating at.
"*SCOFF* Look at those boys," scoffed Suzie atop the roofs. "Akashiya Mako: the school's #1 Handsome King; Kurono Kumaru: the most highly popular among the group; Sendo Yukinari: the brat with the highest GPA of the school; and yet their all hanging around an actual human bitch—someone who's not supposed to be in this goddamn school! Well, I can't stand this shit anymore! Something's gotta be done about this! NOW!"
"And what'cha gonna do about it, Suzie?" asked someone from behind.
Suzie turned back to three delinquent-looking girls sitting behind her. "That's where YOU three come in to play..." she whispered. "You see, Tsuki is said to be completely strong...and allegedly kicked my ass on the first day of school, as well as Kuyā and Choppette's, but THAT is complete bullshit."
"And how do you know?" asked a girl.
"Because I attacked her, and she didn't even stand a chance!"
"Well," said Kasumi Midō, "if you join our group of Monstrels, maybe we can tear her apart!"
"I want a piece of her too!" said another Monstrel. "I wanna see how strong she really is!"
"Alright, ladies," said Suzie connivingly, "here's the plan..."
*THUMP* *THUD*
"GAH!" Tsuki dropped her briefcase as she held in neck in pain again.
"Tsuki! Are you alright?" asked Mako.
"I-It's nothing. I-I-I'm fine," the human girl groaned in pain. "Shit! Not again! Why...does...this...keep..."
She suddenly collapsed to the ground.
"TSUKI!" The vampire boy quickly knelt by her side. "What's going on? Is it a fever?"
"You really wanna know what's going on? Your girlfriend keeps resisting my blood, and the effect is starting to take over," said the voice from the Rosario Cross all of a sudden. "The vampire blood that I injected into Tsuki is starting to consume her human side; it's pretty much a 'side-effect'."
"Are you...Are you saying that my blood is hurting Tsuki?"
"MY blood, pussy. Not YOURS!"
Just then, a shadow began looming over Mako. "What's wrong, Tsuki? Not feeling well?"
Turning her head around, Mako became frightened.
Regaining consciousness, Tsuki looked up at what Mako was seeing. "S-Suzie! What...What are YOU d-doing here?" she asked as she struggled to get up.
"Whoa there, bitch," said the bully girl. "You should really watch your back...LITERALLY!"
*SLASH* *SLASH*
Tsuki was suddenly slashed twice in the back and fell to the ground.
"Nice to meet you, Tsuki-san," said the girl who slashed her. "The name's Momoka. I'm part of the Monstrels—or Outcast Ayashi—and sorry about the surprise attack."
"...*SCOFF* How disappointing..." scoffed Suzie.
"Yeah, that was below my expectations," laughed Momoka. "Her reaction toward my surprise attack...and her movement speed...are all in the lowest rank. I didn't even have to transform both of my hands into blades."
Bite-Size Monster Dictionary:
Outcast Ayashi
Type of hybrid monster with unclear ancestors. Among all the monsters, majority are Outcast Ayashi with different types and abilities. Majority of them have the ability of transforming their body parts into weapons or performing different skills with their body.
Kōmura Nazo says:
But for the record, we'll be calling the Outcast Ayashi as "Monstrels" throughout the entire series. WHEE!
"TSUKI!" Mako cried in terror as he ran to—
"OH NO YOU DON'T!" Suzie grabbed Mako's arm and pulled him away. "I've already seen it before. Once your bitch yanks off your Rosario Cross, you'll turn into that Shinso Vampire and kick my ass again! But without her, you'll just be nothing but a weak little brat."
"LET ME GO! PLEASE!" the pink-haired boy pleaded.
"AH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HAH! You're nothing but a weakling! And now I can finally have my revenge on what you have done to me all those months ago!" And with that, Suzie transformed into her Monstrel form. "The only downside...IS THAT YOUR BITCH MIGHT NOT BE CONSCIOUS ENOUGH TO SEE ME KILL YOU!"
"NO! I'VE GOTTA HELP HER!" Mako broke free and rushed over to Tsuki's unconscious—
*RIP*
Suddenly, Suzie grabbed the pink-haired vampire boy's shirt, ripping the front open and exposing his chest. The other Monstrels seized him.
"...No...! Mako-san...I have...to help him..." Tsuki laid motionless in a pool of her blood.
*THUMP*
"Tsuki! Help...please..." Mako began shedding tears as he prepared to meet his fate.
*CLUTCH*
Suddenly, one of the Monstrels was grabbed in the head by...
"TSUKI!" Mako screamed in joy. "But...I haven't even injected him with any of my blood. Unless...this must be the leftover blood that remained inside Tsuki that caused the side effect...THAT must be why he's still in pain: it's activating on its own for some reason."
*WHACK*
Tsuki, now a modified human once again, whacked the other Monstrel with the Monstrel's body, tossing her aside as well.
"WHAT?! WHAT THE HELL'S GOING ON HERE!" screamed Suzie. "HOW IS THIS BITCH ACTUALLY FIGHTING BACK! ARGH! I'LL KILL HER MYSELF!"
But Tsuki punched her in the gut, sending the bully Monstrel flying into a tree.
"I-Impossible...w-what are you...?" were the last words Suzie spoke before losing consciousness.
Kōmura Nazo says:
This chapter's climactic battle took 138 words! WHEE!
"...Tsuki...!" exclaimed Mako under his breath.
In response, his girlfriend turned around and smiled as he returned to his human form.
"...TSUKI!" Wasting no time, Mako leapt into her arms with tears of joy. "I don't know...how long I'll be able to hold onto the Tsuki I know and love..."
Back on the rooftop, Midō was observing the fight. "So...judging from those eyes, Tsuki's somehow a vampire. hasn't she? Heh, maybe you're not as weak as I thought you'd be. But...one day...you will pay dearly for what you've done to my friends..."
