Three days had passed since the battle with Dr. Yakumaru.

"What?! Mako-san's gone?!" cried Tsuki.

"Yes~desu," explained Yukinari. "As a matter of fact, he hasn't shown up in THREE days; he always seems to be locked up in his room…ever since that hospital incident~desu. Despite the misunderstanding being cleared up, Mako-san hasn't come out of his room—assuming he's still THERE~desu."

"*BLOW* Don't worry, Tsuki. You still got me," Mizo said from behind—while blowing smoke out of his mouth. "I think Mako-san's disappearance could make our romance turn into a new direction…"

"EEK! Mizo-san! D-D-Don't just pop out of nowhere like that!" the human girl screamed as she jumped back.

"And what are you doing here anyways?" asked the panicking Yukinari.

"Isn't it obvious? With Mako-san gone, that's one less love rival I gotta deal with. Now all that's left is the little pedophile-enforcing wizard and that sadistic incubus rapist that…come to think of it, hasn't even shown up yet," the snow goth explained.

Looking around, Tsuki and Yukinari realized he was right. "Oh no! With the Monstrels still after us, he better be on his guard!" the human girl gasped.


Kumaru sat on the rooftops of Yōkai Academy, remembering what he overheard those three days ago…


(Flashback)

With Dr. Yakumaru's defeat, all the enslaved teenagers released Tsuki and collapsed.

*SCOFF* I'm NEVER getting involved in shit like this again," Mako scoffed. "Later, babe!" He turned around and—

"Mako-san! Wait!" Tsuki cried. "Where are you going? Why do you sound…so cold? Please don't go! Let's always be together…Mako-san…"

However, Mako walked away…almost as if completely ignoring her comment…

(End of Flashback)


Kōmura Nazo says:

It turned out Kumaru was watching the entire fight. WHEE!


"ARGH! Even after Tsuki-chan was being so nice to him, why hasn't Mako-san shown up today? It's not even raining!" the incubus screamed. "ARGH! TSUKI-CHAN! YOU BITCH!" Tears fell down his eyes as he—

"Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha hah!" laughed a female voice from behind. "Did you REALLY mean to say that?"

Kumaru turned around to the girl leaning against the wall right next to the door and reading a book. "Wh-Who the hell are you?" he asked.


Kōmura Nazo says:

Spoiler alert: it's Yoshii Kirie. WHEE!


"If you'd like, I can help end your struggle with us Monstrels…" said Kirie.

"MONSTRELS…?!" Kumaru summoned his growing incubus nails.

*SLASH* *BOOM*

"You really think I'd believe that you would show your face and try to negotiate peace? BULLSHIT!"

"Now THAT wasn't very nice!" Kirie was now on the gate right behind the incubus boy. "But I guess you're one of those who like to strike first and talk later. Anyways, my name is Yoshii Kirie. It's a pleasure to meet you, Kumaru-kun.

"WHAT THE HELL?!" Kumaru turned around and saw…nothing…

"Well, considering what you've been through with Midō-chan and Moko-san, I can understand why you don't trust me, but I just want to make a deal with you..." Kirie said from right behind the incubus boy's back.

"W-WHAT deal?"

"I've been hearing rumors that your friend Akashiya Mako-san is supposed to be a Shinso Vampire, am I right?"

"What would make you believe those rumors?"

"Well, apparently, a lot of beatings have befallen a bunch of students and teachers, and those who have survived all point their fingers to Mako-san: the so-called Shinso Vampire. In fact, YOU seem to be one of those students who suffered a beating by him, no?"

"*GASP*" Kumaru widened his eyes…


(Flashback)

*CHING*

Tsuki violently pushed Mako out of the way so she would take the hit instead of him…and Mako's Rosario Cross got ripped off once again, much to Mako's shock.

*THUMP*

"GAH!" Mako held his heart in pain. "Oh no! It's happening again!"

The bright pink light shined out of Mako's body, blinding the incubus boy and catching him off guard. "ARGH! What's going on?!" Kumaru gasped.

"GAAHHHH! GAAAAAHHHHHHHH! GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Mako screamed in agony.

The sky turned blood red once again and bats flew in to encircle Mako once again. They screeched as loud as possible until they disbanded, revealing Mako's true form once again.

When Tsuki saw what happened, she looked down Mako's Rosario Cross and pondered, "So, it only comes off when he's in danger?"

"No way!" Kumaru gasped to himself as he hovered in the air. "His hair! His eyes! HE'S A SHINSO VAMPIRE?! BUT I THOUGHT THEY WERE URBAN LEGENDS!"

"Heh, you thought wrong, pathetic incubus!" chuckled the silver-haired vampire boy.

"Don't bullshit me!" cried Kumaru. "I'll never lose to the likes of you! It's my mission to ensure the safety of my race!

"'Mission'?" asked the confused human girl. "WHAT mission?"

"The same of EVERY incubus! We seek out our destined partner by enslaving women! If I don't find my 'Destined One', my entire race will go extinct! And you, Akashiya Mako! I will not let you get in my way!"

"So, THAT is how you tried to take Tsuki away from me?" asked Mako angrily. "How pathetic!"

Enraged, Kumaru snapped and charged at Mako with serious speed.

"MAKO-SAN! LOOK OUT!" cried Tsuki.

Mako leapt high into the air, jumping over Kumaru, who had little time to react as Mako quickly grabbed Kumaru's tail and violently tugged it, weakening the incubus, who cried out in pain.

"KNOW YOUR PLACE, BITCH!" Mako screamed.

*BAM*

Mako gave Kumaru a violent kick in the face, sending the incubus crashing through a bunch of trees until he finally hit the biggest one. Upon impact, his back got injured, he barfed out some blood, and collapsed face down onto the ground. As he tried to get back up, he painfully croaked, "Yes, M-Mako-san!"

(End of Flashback)


"…W-Well…I…" the incubus boy began. "…Ugh, w-what exactly do you want?"

Kirie gave a small smile and opened her mouth to say something…


*KNOCK* *KNOCK* *KNOCK* *KNOCK* *KNOCK*

Later that night, Kumaru appeared right outside of Mako's dorm room and knocked on the door.

*CREEK*

"Yes?" Mako asked as he opened the door. "Kumaru-kun! What are YOU doing here?"


Kumaru and Mako arrived at a nearby graveyard.

"O-Okay," the pink-haired vampire boy began, "w-why did you—"

*YANK* *YANK* *YANK* *YANK*

Kumaru suddenly began yanking at Mako's Rosario Cross. "Come off! Come off, you piece of shit! Ugh, what the hell am I doing? Only Tsuki-chan can get this shit off of Mako-san so she can awaken his badass alter-ego! Mako-san won't stand a chance against Kirie like this!"

*PUSH*

"Kumaru-kun! What are you doing? Knock it off!" Mako yelled as he pushed the incubus away.

"…Why? WHY couldn't you have just gone away, Mako-san?" Kumaru responded. "I mean, you said that you didn't want to be a burden to Tsuki-chan anymore! So, WHY the hell are you still here?!"

"…B-Because…" Mako whispered, "…Because Tsuki told me not to go—"

"DON'T YOU GET IT! You're the one that's causing all the problems at school! Especially with Tsuki-chan! Just…Just get lost! NOW!"

"Ah ah aaaahhhhhhhh…" said a female voice. "I thought I told you to bring out that Shinso Vampire!"

The two boys suddenly witnessed Kirie standing against a tree.

"Kumaru-san, were you trying to scare Mako-san off? Just so you could save him?" asked the villainous girl. "Well then…*SNAP*…let the REAL fun begin!"

*RIP*

With a snap of Kirie's fingers, the tree right behind her was ripped off and tossed away, revealing two cyclops.


Bite-Size Monster Dictionary:

Cyclops
Giants with round eyes and a horn on their heads. They're wild and low in intelligence Because of that that seem like low level grunts, but they are regarded as demigods in myths and legends. Their name means "round eye".


Kōmura Nazo says:

Not to be confused with the Marvel superhero of the same name. WHEE!


"Now for the record, these aren't Monstrels," explained Kirie. "I only brought them here to test Mako-san's strength! KILL HIM!"

The two cyclops charged after Mako.


Kōmura Nazo says:

It has been decided that the cyclops of this version will NOT have a determinate gender. WHEE!


"MAKO-SAN!" Kumaru summoned his nails to—

*CLUTCH*

"NOPE!" Kirie suddenly moved in and restrained Kumaru in a headlock. "This is between him and my friends!"

A cyclops slashed at Mako…ripping off a good chunk of his shirt and pants, the latter exposing his briefs.

"Rip off the Rosario Cross! Unleash the Shinso Vampire!" ordered Kirie.

One cyclops pinned the pink-haired vampire boy onto the ground, while the other swiped at his Rosario Cross to knock it off…but to no avail. "Ugh, WHY isn't it coming off? I really want to see the OTHER Mako-san!" Kirie yelled in annoyance.

"So, she knows about the Rosario Cross?!" Kumaru thought in shock. "Lemme go, you bitch! "

"Let you go? Why? Don't you realize what will happen if Mako-san was gone…?"

As he was released by Kirie, Kumaru widened his eyes as he began thinking about something…


(Kumaru's Fantasy)

A naked Kumaru laid on a bed with his hands behind his head, while Tsuki bounced on his waist.

(End of Fantasy)


"…That's right! With Mako-san gone, I could have Tsuki-chan all to myself. And I could obviously overpower that wizard brat and snow goth," he thought. "…But…what would she say…if she found out I just let him die…?"

*SLAM*

Mako was pinned against a rock by the two cyclops. "So, what do we do with this pathetic wimp?" asked one of them. "Well, considering that there's no way to unlock his TRUE power, I say…we RIP HIM TO PIECES!" decided the other.

"*SNIFF* You're right, Kumaru-kun…" Mako closed his tear-filled eyes, ready to accept her death. "I'm nothing but a burden to everyone…especially Tsuki…"

*SLASH* *SPLAT*

"GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

Suddenly, Kumaru slashed one of the cyclops in the face with his incubus fingernails, tearing off a huge chunk of skin. "THAT'S ENOUGH, KIRIE! You may take pleasure in seeing me betray my friends, but I can't change my feelings in such a short time…TO LOSE SIGHT OF WHAT'S MOST IMPORTANT!"

"…Ugh! Now I'm really bored. I was hoping this would never happen, but oh well…" groaned the evil schoolgirl. "FINISH THEM OFF, YOU TWO!" she ordered her cyclops minions.

"RAGH!" Kumaru held up his grown fingernails to—

*PUSH*

Mako pushed him aside as he stepped forward. "This is MY fight too!"

"Mako-san! What are you doing?!" yelled Kumaru. "You can't even fight! Not like this! Hurry up and get the hell outta—"

"NO! Even if my Rosario Cross is still attached, I'm not running! Not anymore! You tried to save me, now it's MY turn to return the favor."

Shocked at first, the aqua-haired incubus boy gave a satisfied smile and said, "Alright then, let's kick their asses…TOGETHER!"


Later, Kirie walked through the forest with a malicious smile. "Well, it was sure disappointing that I didn't get to meet Mako-san's Shinso Vampire form…but at least that OTHER Mako-san managed to keep me entertained…for the time being…"


Meanwhile, Mako and Kumaru were panting in exhaustion as they sat on the two cyclops they defeated.


Kōmura Nazo says:

(angry)
What the hell?! We couldn't even see the climactic battle?! WHEE!


"*PANT* *PANT* *PANT* *PANT* Hey, Kumaru-kun…*PANT* *PANT*…I've…*PANT* *PANT*…I've been thinking…thinking of…*PANT* *PANT*…of…*PANT* *PANT*…of…*PANT* *PANT*" panted Mako.

"*PANT* *PANT*…of WHAT?" asked an exhausted Kumaru.

"*PANT*…of leaving…*PANT*…Yōkai Academy. *PANT* Just…*PANT*…disappearing from everybody…*PANT*…but I couldn't do that…because you…and Tsuki…and everybody else are all just too precious to me. *PANT* *PANT* No matter hard I tried, I…*PANT*…just couldn't…"

"*PANT* Well, that's great! *PANT* Because THIS is where you belong, Mako-san."


"MAKO-SAN!" Tsuki joyfully cried the next morning. "Where the hell have you been?! I've been worried sick!"

"I-I'm sorry, Tsuki," said the pink-haired vampire. "It's just—"

"MAKO-SAN! It's so good to see you again~desu!" Suddenly, Yukinari hugged him in joy.

"Oh, you actually DID come back after all…but no matter," said a familiar voice. "I'M STILL DECLARING TSUKI-SAN MINE!"

*GROPE*

"AHH!" Tsuki's breasts so suddenly grabbed from behind by Kumaru.

"HEY! GET AWAY FROM HIM, YOU PERVERTED BASTARD!"

Mako jumped in and…

*BITE*

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"


Kōmura Nazo says:

Ah, the blood-sucking. We haven't seen that in…I actually lost track! WHEE!
