Chapter 6
Club Hunting
Rin Okumura was currently sitting in the library brushing up on monsters using an encyclopedia of known monsters. Being an exorcist in training Rin was already aware of the kinds of demons that can come into the world of Assiah. Despite this, he only knew about demons, not monsters. And since he was attending a school for monsters, he figured he might as well expand his mind a little bit and learn about the different monsters that he may or may not be going to school with.
Currently he was reading up on vampires. "Hmmm, let's see...ah, here go, vampires!" He exclaimed as he found the section of vampires in the book he was reading, which included a picture of a typical vampire and the description. 'Class S type monsters, these creatures are considered one of the most powerful monsters in the yokai realm. Capable of living for centuries, vampires are considered monster royalty. Vampires are known for their incredible strength, being capable of taking on entire armies almost single-handedly. Nearly invincible with superhuman strength, nobility and status to boot, it is nearly impossible to defeat one when engaged in single combat. Even taking one on when in a group would barely increase chances of success. In fact, there are barely a few known living beings, human or otherwise, who have come face to face with one of these legendary monsters and lived to tell the tale.' Rin read the passage and couldn't help but be astonished by what he was reading. He had known that the inner Moka was a badass since he met her, but to think that vampires as a whole were monsters to be reckoned with further increased his respect for Moka and her kind.
Rin went back to the book and continued reading. 'The one thing about vampires that has remained true since time immemorial is their thirst for blood. They drink from any living source they can find, but prefer human blood, considering it a delicacy. Despite their strength and power however, even vampires have their weaknesses. One such weakness, even though they drink blood, vampires will not drink from non-living sources, e.g. a corpse. Blood from a corpse, referred to as 'Dead Man's Blood', is considered poisonous to them, capable of not only causing them severe internal pain, but also immobilizes them. Should a living source not be available, they counter this by drinking from blood packs or a blood substitute, such as tomato juice. Another common yet major weakness for vampires is water. Pure water is believed to counteract their powerful aura and not only drains them of their energy but also causes them tremendous pain.' Rin was flabbergasted by this. Of all the things vampires have a weakness against, water was a big one.
"Seriously, vampires are weak against water?"
"Yep, they sure are." Rin turned around to see Yukari carrying a stack of books with a smile on her face. Rin smiled seeing his surrogate little sister.
"Hey there, Yukari. You here to do some studying?" Rin asked as he got up and helped her with her books and put them on the table.
"Sure am, Rin." She chirped happily as she put the remaining books she carried on the table in front of her and sat down next to Rin. She noticed that there was a book where Rin was sitting. "What about you Rin, are you studying too?" She asked.
"Nah, I'm just brushing up on some monster facts. After all the fights I've been in, I should at least know what kind of monsters are going to this school and know what I'm up against should I have a scrap with any of them." Rin replied. He then furrowed his brow as he thought of another monster to look up. "Hmmm, I wonder..." Yukari just looked him curiously as Rin went to the index and found the page of the monster he was looking for. Rin found it and went to the page, Yukari looked to see what it was and her eyes widened in surprise. On the page, in bold letters, read Satan, but in the picture was a question mark.
Rin focused on the page and read it to himself. 'Lets see...Class: Above S Class. Appearance: Unknown. Abilities: Unknown. Origins: Unknown. The unholy creation of death, destruction, and chaos itself. A creature feared by both humans and monsters alike. While not much is known about Satan, what is known is that he is the god of all demon kind and ruler of the demon realm known as Gehenna. From what little is known about him from his demonic minions, personality-wise he lacks any real moral compass, has absolutely no regard for life of any kind, not even for his own creations, and has absolutely no concept of right or wrong, going as far as destroying anyone or anything simply because he could. Being he's the god of the demons and king of Gehenna, Satan is arguably one of the most powerful demons in existence, if not the most powerful. If you ever find yourself in a confrontation with this beast, the most prudent course of action is to run, hide, and pray to whatever deity you believe in that he never finds you.' Rin just let out a sigh in disappointment as he closed the book. He had hoped that the book had a weakness for Satan but so much for that.
"Hey, Rin." Rin was snapped out of his thoughts at Yukari's voice. He looked at her and saw she had a worried expression on her face. "Are you alright? You looked like your mind was a million miles away." she asked in concern.
Rin just smiled and started rubbing the top of her head, making her giggle. "Yeah, I'm alright little sis. Thanks for your concern, but don't worry about me, I'm fine." He said reassuringly. Yukari then got out of her seat and hugged Rin tightly. The half blood simply smile at her gesture and hugged her back.
"As glad as I am to hear that, just remember Rin, I'm always here if you need someone to talk to. As are the rest of us." She assured.
"I will, and thanks Yukari." Rin said gratefully to the young witch.
The Next Day
The weekend had come and gone and now it was back to school. Rin of course dreaded this, he'd rather be back in his dorm room either sleeping or reading manga, but he knows we all can't get what we want so he just sucked it up and headed off to school. Today however, was going to be a bit different.
"Okay everyone, it's time for you all to join a club." Miss Nekonome said cheerfully, surprising everyone. "The primary objective of this academy is to prepare our monsters to adapt to human society. Through participation in these clubs, you'll learn to act just like humans, appreciate arts they've developed, and deepen your understanding of the human culture. Now, in order for your transformation to the human form to be perfect, you must have a firm grasp of humans themselves. And always remember this, you must never reveal your monster form no matter what."
"Umm, excuse me?" One of the students in the front of the class said as he raised his hand, catching the cat-girl teacher's attention.
"Yes?" Miss Nekomoke acknowledged.
"Your tail." He said pointing behind her.
Miss Nekonome looked over her shoulder, and sure enough, her tail was out in the open from under her skirt and waving in the air. She then let out a loud hiss as she scratched the student's face like an angry house cat, causing him to yelp in pain. Rin just snickered to himself as he found the whole situation funny. He may not have any love for going to class, but he enjoyed going to Miss Nekonome's class since she somehow found a way to make it entertaining.
Miss Nekonome fixed and composed herself as she went back to addressing the class. "Anyway, today classes are canceled so that you can all go find a club to join. Booths will be running all day so go out their and find a club to join. Also remember, there are plenty of openings in the newspaper club." She finished as students got up and headed for the plaza where the club booths were operating. Rin, Tsukune, Moka, and Kurumu followed after each other.
Out in the plaza, people were lining up at booths of various clubs. Rin was surprised at what he was seeing. There were all kinds of clubs for people to join, ranging from photography to literature clubs. Rin had never seen so many clubs before, not even when he was in Middle School. "Wow, there's a ton of different clubs to choose from, huh?" Tsukune said in awe.
"I'll say." Rin said in agreement. "I've never seen so many in one place."
"So what club should we join?" Kurumu asked.
"I don't know, like I said, there are so many to choose from." Replied Tsukune.
"And I've never been in a school club before, so I wouldn't know." Rin added.
Moka then perked up and smiled as she came up with an idea. "Hey, I know. Why don't we all join the same club." She suggested never losing her smile.
"That's a great idea Moka." Replied Rin.
"I agree with Rin. It will be fun if were were all the same club together." Added Tsukune.
"Well then, what are we waiting for, lets go find ourselves a club." Added Kurumu with a smile as she grabbed Rin's arm and pulled him towards the crowd of people, with Moka doing the same to Tsukune. Rin and Tsukune couldn't help but blush at the girls action, but nonetheless went along with it.
After some walking around, the four friends were still walking around trying to find a club to join. They checked out various different booths but none of them clicked with them. The photography president looked like some kind of mental patient which scared them off. Another club was the acupuncture club where the president looked like something out of a Hellraiser film. The treasure seeking club looked to be a bunch of weirdos. They even tried the chemistry club where some of the members tried to not only get Moka to drink a love potion they made but Kurumu as well. Rin stepped in and basically put the fear of God in them if they tried something like that again. Suffice it to say, the situation was not looking good for them.
"Well this certainly sucks." Rin muttered as the group of friends continued through the crowd. "All the clubs we visited looked like they were all run and composed of nothing but total wackos."
"I know what you mean, Rin. We haven't found a single 'normal' club to join." Added Tsukune.
"Thanks by the way for stopping the Chemistry club from trying to give us those love potions Rin." Moka said gratefully.
"No problem, someone had to teach those pervs a lesson." Rin said.
"And the way you scared them, I have to admit even I was a little frightened." Tsukune added.
"Yeah, sorry guys, I didn't mean to scare any of you." Rin said apologetically.
"It's alright Rin." Moka said, getting a nod from Tsukune, which made Rin smile. He then felt a very soft sensation on his arms.
"If anything Rin, seeing you scare those creeps, it really turned me on." Kurumu purred seductively as she wrapped herself around Rin's arm. The soft sensation of her breasts and her voice made Rin blush heavily as he scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Yeah, well I...you know..." He tried to say something but couldn't find the words. Moka and Tsukune just chuckled at the sight.
"Tsukune! Rin! Moka! Kurumu!" The four heard a familiar voice and turned to see Yukari running happily towards them. She jumped towards Tsukune and hugged him happily. "Hi there, my Tsukune!" Yukari happily greeted the human.
Tsukune just blushed at the girl's affectionate hug, but nonetheless returned it. "Uhh, hey there, Yukari." Yukari finished her hug and saw Rin, who bent down to her level to give her a hug, which she happily gave as she wrapped around Rin's neck. "Hi to you too, my big brother." Yukari greeted affectionately while rubbing her cheeks against his, which made Rin chuckle heartily.
"Hey Yukari, here to find a club too?" Rin asked with a smile as he returned his surrogate little sister's hug.
"Uh-huh!" She exclaimed happily as she let go of Rin and he stood straight up.
Kurume looked at the scene and couldn't help but smile softly at how great Rin treated the young witch. She wondered how much of a good father Rin would be once he had children of his own. She couldn't help but put a hand to her stomach while daydreaming of her having his children and having a family with him.
Inside Kurumu's Mind
"I'm home." A now adult Rin called out. He was wearing a dark blue business suit with a matching tie and carrying a briefcase. On his left hand was a gold wedding ring. He put his briefcase on the floor and sat on a step to take off his shoes. He heard footsteps behind him.
"Welcome home my love." Rin turned around to see Kurumu, who was also an adult now, greeting him with a loving smile on her face. She wore a light blue sundress with a frilly pink apron over her dress. Her hair was longer and not held up in her trademark headband. She still kept it in a high pony-tail, but held it up with a simple blue hair band. Her left hand was rubbing her stomach, which was greatly distended, indicating she was very pregnant. Easily eight or nine months along. On the same hand was a matching wedding ring. Putting two and two together, it would be obvious to assume that Rin and Kurumu were a happily married couple with their first child on the way and any day now.
Rin looked at the succubus with a loving smile to match hers. He got up and went to greet her.
"Hey Kurumu. How's my girl doing?" He asked.
"Hmhm, are you referring to me or the little one growing in my belly?" Kurumu wryly retorted while rubbing her stomach for emphasis.
He gently rubbed Kurumu's stomach. "Can't it be both." Both of them shared a happy giggle.
"Oh you. So how was work today?"
"Oh, work couldn't have gone any better." Rin's face soon turned serious. "Hey, are you sure you should be on your feet right now? The doctor said you shouldn't stand or move around too much in your condition." He asked in a worried tone.
Kurumu appreciated Rin's concern for her, but she simply giggled in good fun. "Don't worry about me Rin. I'm tougher than I look." She answered confidently, flexing one of her arms for emphasis and winked at him, making him chuckle and returning his smile. "Well anyway, dinner is just about ready. So do you want to eat first? Or would you like to take a bath first?" Kurumu asked.
"Hmmmm, both sound really good right now. But before that..." He put a hand on her lower back and brought her body closer to his and he inched closer to her face, greatly surprising Kurumu and making her blush madly. He even cupped her chin softly, making her look at him. "how about a welcome home kiss from my beautiful wife." He finished.
Kurumu was taken aback from Rin's boldness. She started fidgeting with her hair with her free hand. She stopped after a moment and smiled at her beloved husband. Kurumu cupped both of Rin's cheeks and puckered her lips. Both closed their eyes and they moved their faces closer to each other's lips.
Back to Reality
Kurumu's face was now flushed and completely red like a strawberry at the daydream she had in her head as her body started to wriggle. "Hehehe, oh my." She said to herself completely flustered.
"Kurumu?" Tsukune called out to her.
"Eeeep!" She shrieked. "Uh, y-y-y-yes Tsukune?!"
"Are you okay?"
"Who me? I'm great. Never better." She said frantically while waving her hand around quickly.
"You sure?" Rin jumped in. "You're face looks really red."
"Yep. Yep. I totally fine. Nothing to worry about. Hahahaha." She chuckled awkwardly while scratching the back of her head.
Rin thought it was odd to see Kurumu acting so strangely but decided to take her word for it. "Well anyway, now that you're here Yukari, you want to help us look for a club together?" Rin asked.
"You bet I would!" Yukari exclaimed happily. Now with Yukari along for the ride, the group set again to try and find a club. During their walk, Rin noticed something up ahead. A whole bunch of boys lined up at one particular booth and they all looked like they were all blushing.
"Hmm, what's going on over there?" Rin wondered, the rest of the group looking where he was and couldn't help but be a tad curious as well. So they headed to the booth to see what all the hoopla was about. When they got there, the five friends received quite a shock. In front of the booth stood nearly a dozen beautiful girls all in bikinis. From the banner, they advertised the Swimming Club. At the head of the girls was a beautiful young woman with ocean blue hair, yellow seashells pinned on each side of her head and wearing a purple bikini with a matching towel wrapped around her waist. Rin and Tsukune couldn't help but blush themselves at the sight.
"My name's Tamao Ichinose. Come join me and my friends in the swimming club guys." The leader, now known as Tamao Ichinose said wistfully.
"Oh man! Chicks in bikinis!" One of the guys in the crowd exclaimed happily.
"Well, at least this club seems normal." Tsukune said.
"Yeah, probably one of the few only normal ones at that." Added Rin.
"At the moment, the swimming club doesn't have any boys. That means any fellas who join up now stand to get a lot of personalized service from us." Hearing that certainly enticed everyone present, like they knew what she meant by "personalized service". Tsukune even gained a large blush on his face. Moka just looked at him with an irked expression. "So what do you say? Who wants to sign up?" At that, boys started lining up for the swimming Club.
"I think we found a winner guys." Tsukune said, gaining a shocked expression from Moka and a questioning look from everyone else. "I use to take swimming lessons at one point so I think this club will suit us all fine." Tsukune said as his mind hopelessly wandered off to lala land as he imagined Moka in a bikini. Rin just looked at his best friend with an disappointed look. He could tell Tsukune obviously didn't do any research on vampires. If he did, he would know that water is harmful to vampires. Rin also saw the look Moka was showing at the thought of going anywhere near water, he had to figure out a way to fix this mess.
"I don't think joining this club would be a good idea, Tsukune." The half-blood responded.
"Why not Rin?" Tsukune asked.
"Because water is a major weakness for vampires. If Moka went into the water, it would end up hurting her badly."
Tsukune then shot a look of shock at the pink haired vampiress. "Moka, is that true?"
Moka looked away with a saddened expression as she gripped her rosary. "Yeah. It's true Tsukune. Water is one of a vampire's greatest weakness. It drains us of our energy and it hurts us greatly." She said sadly.
"Oh man! Moka, I'm so sorry. I had no idea." Tsukune genuinely apologized. Moka just smiled at him, knowing that he realized his mistake.
"It's alright, Tsukune. Thank you for understanding." She replied with a smile, which made Tsukune smile in turn, grateful for her being so forgiving. She then looked at Rin. "By the way Rin, how did you know about water being a vampires weakness?"
Everyone, minus Yukari, looked at Rin curiously, wondering how someone with grades as bad as his could know something like that. "What are y'all looking at me like that for? I admit, my grades may suck, but when I find something that interests me, I take the time to study up on it." He answered sounding rather offended.
The gem in Moka's rosary soon lit up. "Regardless, we should thank you, Okumura." The inner Moka said, getting everyone's attention. "At least you were kind enough to consider our weakness. Not many are that considerate. As for you Tsukune..." She said in a raised voice, making said boy shiver.
"Uhh, yes ma'am?" Tsukune said as he stood up straight like a soldier being talked to by superior officer.
"Be lucky that Okumura was here to bail you out. If my other half got hurt because of your selfishness, I will make you suffer. Is that clear?" She said using her drill sergeant voice.
"Yes ma'am. I'm sorry ma'am." Tsukune quickly said.
"Alright, alright, we've all established that the swimming club isn't a good idea. What do you all say we keep looking." Rin suggested, getting a nod from everyone. Kurumu got close to Rin and started rubbing herself against him, making Rin blush.
"Awww, it's too bad we can't join the swimming club. I just bought a new swimsuit and I've been dying to show it off to you." She said seductively, making Rin's face turn a deeper shade of red.
"Okay! Moving on!" Rin exclaimed desperately as he started walking away with everyone else in tow.
After a little more walking, the gang still hadn't found a club. When it seemed like they were gonna call it quits, Rin caught a whiff of something. He sniffed a few more times. Whatever it was, it smelled delicious. It certainly smelled like meat cooking over an open fire. He started walking in the direction of the smell with the rest of the gang following after him, wondering what it is that caught his interest. After a while, the friends came to a booth with a few people lined up with four other students, girl and boy, wearing aprons and working in what looked like a fully stocked kitchen, complete with stoves and refrigerators. The banner read Cooking Club. The girl heading the booth was a young woman with medium length brown hair tied up in twin tails with yellow ribbons and brown eyes with a cheerful smile adorned on her face. Rin walked up to the girl.
"Hi there." The girl greeted the half-blood happily. "Welcome to the Cooking club."
"Hey, how's it going?" Rin greeted back with a smile. "Wow, I didn't think this school had a cooking club."
"You bet it does. Are you and your friends interested in joining?"
"We might be. What do you do in the cooking club, besides cooking of course?"
"Well, aside from cooking, we gather in the club room and discuss different recipes that we've either come across or came up with ourselves. Do you have any experience in cooking?"
"You bet, I'm an awesome cook!" Rin exclaimed proudly proudly pointing to himself.
"Really? Well we would like to see how 'awesome' you are Mr..."
"The name's Rin Okumura. And get ready to taste sheer delight Miss..."
"I'm the president of the Cooking club, Miyabi Kuromine. And very well Mr. Okumura, go ahead and put on an apron and wow us." The girl, now known as Miyabi Kuromine, said to Rin. Rin gave Tsukune his sword to hold onto as he went in, put on an apron and gathered the ingredients he needed to make his dish, with his friends and some onlookers seeing what Rin was going to make. On a cutting board, Rin minced an onion and put it into a bowl. He then wiped off the cutting board and brought out some chicken. Cutting off the fat, he started cutting the chicken. He then took a frying pan and started cooking the chicken. Once the chicken was done, he added the onions, butter, and some uncooked rice and cooked them together. After a bit, Rin added some sauce. Rin then put it into a rice scooper to shape it, put it on a plate and set it aside.
Everyone was impressed with Rin's work. He handled and prepared everything almost like a professional chef. Tsukune and the girls were in awe at what they were witnessing. Rin never told any of them he could cook and wondered how Rin's creation would taste. Rin then took three eggs and broke the in a glass bowl and beat them. After beating the eggs, he strained them into a bowl. Taking another frying pan and adding oil to it, he added the eggs and started stirring them. Once the eggs were nice and scrambled, he folded the eggs and started flipping it, cooking both sides of the egg. Once the eggs were done, he took the scooper off the rice, which was now in the shape of a ball, and added the egg on top of it. Rin them took a knife and sliced right down the middle, causing the egg to completely cover the rice. Rin finished it off by adding some sauce and parsley. The end result was what is known as a Japanese rice omelet.
The cooking club members and the onlookers looked at the creation in awe. It looked absolutely amazing. Rin beamed with pride at his creation. "Go ahead, try it." He offered. Miyabi was the first to take the offer. She took a spoon and scooped some up. After blowing on it, she took a bite and suddenly her mouth felt like it had just tasted heaven. Her face warped into one that was in pure ecstasy.
"Oh my god, it melts in my mouth!" Miyabi said in delight with a hand to her face, surprising everyone present. The other members of the club took spoons and tried Rin's food. Just like their president, their taste buds reached cloud 9 when the food touched their tongues, even saying the same thing. Rin took the plate and presented it to his friends.
"Here, you guys want to try some too?" He offered.
Tsukune and the girls all took spoons and took a bite. And just like the Cooking Club members, they thought Rin's food was heaven.
"Holy crap! This is amazing!" Tsukune exclaimed.
"This has to be the best thing I ever tasted!" Exclaimed Moka.
"This is incredible, Rin! I think your cooking just might be better than mine!" Said Kurumu.
"If there wasn't a food god, I believe in him now!" Yukari said, crying anime like tears.
Hearing their compliments made Rin blush at the praise and scratch the back of his head in embarrassment. "Mr. Okumura." Rin turned around and once again saw the smiling face of Miyabi as well as the rest of her club. "This has to be one of the best dishes we've ever had! We hope we're not overstepping but who taught you how to cook?" Miyabi asked excitedly.
"Would you believe me if I told you I'm self taught?" Rin asked rhetorically, shocking not only the club members but his friends as well.
"Really, Rin?!" Tsukune asked surprised.
"Yep, taught myself when I was a kid. Believe it or not, but cooking is one of the few things I'm actually good at." Answered Rin.
"Well, I think I speak for everyone in the Cooking Club that we would be delighted to welcome you into our club along with your friends." Miyabi said happily with her club-mates nodding their heads for emphasis.
Rin looked to his friends. "What to do you guys think? Cooking Club sound like a winner?"
They thought for a moment before answering. "Yeah, I think we got a winner here." Answered Tsukune.
"Yeah, this is one of the only normal clubs we've come across." Added Moka.
"I'll say. Maybe here we can get a few pointers in cooking." Added Kurumu.
"Not to mention we get to eat what we cook. Count me in." Added Yukari.
Before Rin could give his answer, the sound of screams pierced the air. Everyone looked in the direction of the screams and realized it looked like it came from the school swimming pool. Rin took off his apron and placed it on a hook before looking back to Miyabi and the club. "Hold that thought, Miyabi!" Rin said as Tsukune then handed Rin his sword and the friends ran towards the pool.
Once they got there, they were shocked at what they saw. The girls of the swim club including their president, Tamao, had fish tails on the lower halves of their bodies, gills on their necks, smaller fins on the side of the arms and heads and finally had webbed hands. Each of them had their mouths, which were filled with long, sharp teeth, on the male members of the club who had just joined and they looked like their bodies were shriveling up, like they were aging at an incredible rate. Rin, Tsukune, and the girls were shocked at the scene.
"A-a-are those-" Tsukune tried to say.
"Freakin' mermaids?!" Rin finished. "What the hell is going on here?!"
"Mermaids are monsters that are well known to sailors. In some lore, their presence is a sign of an impending shipwreck. They entice them with their alluring looks and bring them down to the depths of the ocean." Yukari explained as she took out her wand.
"These things are bigger man-eaters than my kind." Kurumu added as she brought out her wings and claws.
Tamao looked at the two boys and licked her lips as if she were staring at her next meal. "Well, well, well. Tsukune Aono and Rin Okumura. So nice of you boys to come." She said.
"Hey, what the hell is all this?!" Rin asked enraged.
"Don't think too badly of us." Tamao said as she brushed her hair out of the way. She then looked over her shoulder to see her fellow mermaids draining the boys of their energy. "You see, we mermaids lure men into the water to drain them of their life force. It's the only we can survive." She then looked back at the boys. "Of course, the one's we're most interested in are you two."
"In us? But why?" Tsukune asked.
"I've had my eye on you two since the beginning of the year. I've heard rumors of how you, Okumura, sent Saizo Komiya to the infirmary with some nasty burns. And you Aono, people say you have a very delicious smell about you. Almost like...a human's." She said with a grin. Tsukune gulped at her comment while Rin gritted his teeth in anger. "With Okumura's power and your scent Aono, I can only assume you both have such delicious life forces and I've been dying to have a taste of them." Her fellow mermaids gathered behind her, some even saying that they wanted a taste too. Seeing them sent a chill down Tsukune's spine.
Hearing enough, Rin took Kurikara from his bag and gripped the handle, ready to fight back against the terrifying sea creatures. "Sorry ladies, but Tsukune and I aren't on the menu." He retorted. "In fact, I think it's high time we have ourselves a good, old fashioned fish fry."
"No Rin, you can't." Yukari jumped in. "If you use your powers, you could end up burning the other students into cinders."
Rin realized that the young witch spoke true. 'Damn it, she's right. I can't use my flames without risk of hurting innocent people.'
"Don't worry Rin, Yukari, Kurumu and I will get the boys out of the pool." Tsukune said. He then looked to Moka. "Moka, you think you and Rin can keep them busy long enough so we can help the others."
The gem on Moka's rosary lit up again. "Of course! Who do you think you're talking to Tsukune? Release me so that Okumura and I can teach these sea hags the meaning of pain!" Moka nodded at Tsukune as he grabbed hold of Moka's rosary and pulled it off with little effort. Once again, the area was engulfed in pink energy. The mermaids covered their eyes at the brightness and when they uncovered them, Moka stood before them in her vampire form, stunning the mermaids.
"No way, I never would have expected this." Tamao said in surprise. But then she gained an arrogant smile. "But even still, now that I know you're a vampire, what can you possibly do with all this water around?"
"She's not the only one you'll be fighting." Rin retorted as he unsheathed his sword and was once again engulfed in blue flames, shocking the mermaids.
"No way, blue flames! It can't be..." Tamao said in shock.
"Blue flames and strong demonic power." One of her mermaids said.
"There's no doubt about it. This has to be the power of Satan! I had heard stories of the king of the demons but I never would have imagined they were real!" Added another mermaid frighteningly.
Rin just glared at the sea creatures angrily. "So, you all still wanna piece of me?!" He asked rhetorically.
The mermaids regained their composure and took battle stances. "Alright, aim for the vampire first. Since vampires are weak against water, she'll be the easiest to take out once she's weakened." Tamao said as she started splashing water towards Moka with her underlings following their leaders example and splashing water as well. The water closed in on Moka, who gritted her teeth as it approached her. She threw her arms in the air to try and protect herself. Suddenly, her whole body erupted into blue flames. Once the water made contact with it, it immediately evaporated, like water on hot asphalt. Seeing this surprised the mermaids. Even Moka was surprised by this development. She turned to her side to see Rin holding out his left hand. She realized that Rin used his power to shield her from the water.
Rin grinned at the silver-haired super monster, who in turn smiled in gratitude for shielding her. While all this was going on, Tsukune and the other girls managed to save the other boys who were trapped in the pool. "Alright you guys, all the boys are out of the pool." Tsukune shouted.
"Yeah, now you two can go all out on those ugly hags!" Shouted Yukari.
Not needing to be told twice, Rin stood at the edge of the pool. "Let's even the odds, shall we." He said as he stabbed his sword into the water and focused his power. After a moment, the water in the pool evaporated, leaving the pool completely empty. The mermaids all fell to the bottom of the now waterless pool. If the mermaids weren't surprised then, they sure were now. Now that the water was gone, they have lost the home field advantage.
"No, our water!" Tamao shouted. Suddenly, Moka, who was still engulfed in Rin's flames, jumped down to the bottom of the pool and stood over the now defenseless sea creatures, who now all looked like they were about to shit themselves.
"Trying to attack me with water...was a BIG mistake. You've all been nothing but pains in my ass and now I think it's time you were all taught a lesson." She said looking down on them with her arms crossed under her breasts and a sadistic smile on her face. She then looked to Rin. "Okumura, if you would be so kind."
"Already ahead of ya, Moka." Rin held out his left hand again and concentrated. Soon, both of Moka's legs were engulfed in his flames, further scaring the mermaids.
"Wait, wait, wait, wait! We-we-we can talk this out!" Tamao tried to beg, but her pleas to the vampire fell on deaf ears as she continued her approach.
"Now then...it's time you all learned your PLACE!" Moka shouted as she kicked all the mermaids into the air one by one. Rin jumped into the air until he was above the mermaids. "Satan Punch!" He shouted as he concentrated his power and sent out a much, much larger version of his fist towards the mermaids. Once it made contact, the mermaids were sent crashing back to the bottom of the pool. The mermaids were now covered in scorch marks and bruises from the tag team attack combo of Moka and Rin. Rin soon landed at the bottom of the pool beside Moka. Now the vampire and half-blood stood over the mermaids. The creatures cowered and trembled in fear of the two very powerful monsters, who stared at them with sadistic smiles and frightening visages.
"So...do you still wish to try and fight us?" Moka said with a cold tone.
"No, no! Please, don't hurt us any further. We're sorry, please just spare us and you'll never see or hear from us again." Tamao begged, her underlings nodding their heads quickly in agreement with their leader.
"Alright, we'll let you go, but you go nowhere near our friends again and you say nothing about what happened here. You got that?!" The mermaids all nodded their heads quickly as they changed back into their human forms and fled the pool. "Well, you gotta give them credit, they sure can run when they want to." Rin said as he sheathed his sword, dissipating his flames and the flames on Moka's legs.
"Indeed." Replied Moka as she faced the son of Satan. "Thank you for protecting me Okumura. I guess this means I owe you one."
"Nah, you don't owe me a thing Moka. Don't even worry about it." Rin said waving his hand.
"I cannot do that, Okumura." Replied Moka with a serious tone, surprising Rin. "I don't like to leave a debt unpaid no matter how small. My pride won't allow me."
"No, really it's-" Rin tried to say, but Moka's facial expression told him that she wasn't going to take no for an answer. Rin just let out a defeated sigh. "Alright, Moka. If it means that much to you, then how about this; I take this as a solid 'you owe me'. One day I'll call upon you to cash it in." Rin offered.
"Very well. I look forward to the day when I can finally repay you for what you've done for me. Despite my pride, I am nothing if not grateful to those who come to my aid." Moka responded, getting a nod from Rin.
Rin and Moka soon joined up with the others, where Tsukune gave Moka her rosary back and was back to her pink haired form. After the whole debacle, the gang helped the boys who were drained of their life force to the infirmary to be treated. Luckily, the nurse told them that they just needed some rest and they will make a full recovery, relieving the gang. Once they got back to the club fair, however, all the other students had joined clubs and everyone was starting to pack it in.
"Oh man! With everything that's happened, looks like we weren't able to join a club after all." Tsukune said.
"I know, spending the day looking not to mention stopping that sea hag and her cronies messed up all you can eat buffet took a big chunk out of the day." Rin added.
"Well, at least the boys who were attacked are going to be okay." Moka said trying to brighten things up.
"True, but now we don't have a club to join." Kurumu interjected.
"So what are we gonna do?" Yukari asked.
"Ah, Mr. Aono and company." The gang heard a familiar voice and saw Miss Nekonome walking up to them. She saw the looks on their faces and became concerned. "Aww, what's wrong? Did you have an unsuccessful search?" She asked.
"Yeah, we actually had a club we were gonna join but then Tamao and her lackeys tried to suck the life forces out of the boys in the swim club." Replied Rin.
"Yes, I heard about that and I would like to commend all of you for what you did. Stopping Miss Ichinose and saving the lives of your fellow students was the right thing to do and you have mine and this school's utmost thanks." Their teacher said with a smile.
"Not that it isn't appreciated, we still don't have a club to join." Kurumu said.
Miss Nekonome thought for a moment before she came up with an idea to solve their problem. "Well then if you all need a club to join, then how about joining the Newspaper Club?" She suggested.
"The Newspaper Club?" Inquired Rin.
"Yep, I just so happen to be the faculty adviser. As it turns out, no one signed up for it and we can sure use some new members."
The gang all looked at each other. "So what do you guys think?" Tsukune asked everyone.
"Well...not like we have much of a choice." Rin said. "I say why not."
"I agree and who knows, this might actually be fun." Tsukune added, getting a nod from Moka.
"If Rin is joining, then so am I." Kurumu said.
"Me too. Wherever Tsukune, Moka, and Rin go, I go too." Yukari added.
"Whoo, I just got five new members!" Miss Nekonome exclaimed with joy. "This is totally awesome!" She then ran off to the faculty building to get all the right paperwork for the gang to join. They all sweat-dropped at how cheerful she was.
"Excuse me, Mr. Okumura." Everyone turned around to see Miyabi.
"Hey Miyabi. I'm sorry we couldn't join your club. Something came up and we had to take care of it." Rin said apologetically.
"Yeah, I heard about the swim club." She said in a sad tone, but soon perked up. "But I think it was brave what you and your friends did by saving all those innocent people. And congrats on joining the Newspaper Club."
"Thanks Miyabi." Rin said.
There was a moment of silence between the group and Miyabi. "Ummm, listen. Even though you aren't part of the cooking club, you and your friends are more than welcome to stop by our club room. We'd love to have you there and maybe give us some cooking lessons." Miyabi offered, which made Rin and the others smile.
"Sure thing Miyabi. And you can also stop by the Newspaper Club if you want to visit." Rin offered back to Miyabi, who smiled warmly.
"Sounds great, then I guess I'll see you around. Bye Rin Okumura." The Cooking club president bid farewell to the gang as she ran to join her clubmates. Rin and the others waved goodbye to the cheery girl. All in all, this was a pretty eventful day for the gang and they eagerly looked forward to what their time in the Newspaper Club will bring.
Hey everyone, sorry it took so long to update The Son of Satan in Yokai Academy. This is a relatively short chapter and I apologize for taking so long to put it up. I have no other excuses except life getting in the way, updating my other stories and trying to tie everything in proved to be a bit tricky. Not to mention I got a job offer out of state so really looking forward to hearing from that, fingers crossed. Anyway, the next chapter is finally up and I hope you all liked it. I chose to have the whole fiasco with Tsukune joining the swim club be avoided because I had this idea going on for a while. Before going on, Just a heads up, Miyabi Kuromine is an oc that I thought about adding, I just thought it might seem appropriate, also the thing that Rin cooked, I just followed how it was done in the YouTube video, just look up Fluffy Omurice by JunsKitchen and you'll get the idea. Also, the favor Moka owes Rin for protecting her from getting splashed, please don't take it as she was weak or anything, I just figured being as prideful as she is, she also has a sense of honor to those who help her out. Let me know what you all think and if you hate it, I'll redo it again. Anyway, next chapter, the first day of the Newspaper Club officially begins and the gang meet it's pervy, lady killing president. How will he react when he tries going up against The Son of Satan? Find next time on The Son of Satan in Yokai Academy Chapter 7: Howl at The Moon. See you all next time.
