Hello and welcome to the next chapter of The Son of Satan in Yokai Academy. So last chapter, Rin and Yukio reunited briefly and had words with each other which ended with Rin and everyone else basically telling Yukio to take a hike, including Shiemi, who has joined the gang and the newspaper club. So with everyone's favorite blonde tamer now part of the group, things are about to get interesting at Yokai Academy. Before going on, I'll answer some reviews.
Anonymous Guest: I am glad you like the last chapter. As for your suggestions, I will definitely find a way to incorporate Kurumu putting a hurt on Nagare before he comes face to face with Rin. As for the harem suggestions, I'm not too sure about adding Miss Ririko. I have heard of anime where the main guy has an older woman who's in love with him, but not that many. But that is definitely something different. So I'll definitely put a pin in her for Rin's harem as I try to find a way to make a way to make it work. As for Ruby and Izumo, I can totally seeing Ruby with Rin because they are indeed similar in some ways so Ruby will be a definite, plus I was kinda going for her to go with Rin. As for Izumo, I did explain in the last chapter that Yukio would explain why he sent Rin away so she would find out too as well as the rest of the True Cross Crew. So she can see that even if Yukio did the things he did to save his brother, he could have gone about it differently so she would still be disgusted with Yukio and decide to go to Yokai with Rin and the others, like I said, we will see where the story goes and see if I can incorporate it somehow. All in all, very good ideas and I thank you for the suggestions and I hope you continue to read and love this story. Also, any suggestions you have I would love to hear them, everyone's input is always welcome.
Guest: Yes, the letter was from someone else. It definitely was not Shiemi, but it is another familiar person from Blue Exorcist whose name starts with an S.
Zoran Dawn-Eclipse: Glad you liked the chapter.
Bgradaille: I'm really happy you love it. And thanks.
MeteorElDrago: Glad you liked the chapter. And yeah, if my brother did something like Yukio did, I'd be pretty pissed too regardless of the circumstances. Also, no Rin will not be with Inner Moka. I mentioned in an earlier chapter to another reader that Moka will go to Tsukune. The relationship between Rin and Inner Moka is one of mutual respect between warriors. So if you were shipping for RinxInnerMoka, I do apologize.
ActionTReaction: Thank you, that means a lot. And yes, I am planning on having Rin's sword break a little later in the story. I just have to see where the story goes.
So this chapter, Kurumu is getting blackmailed by a sleazy slug monster and he threatens to go public with some dirty pictures and threatens the Newspaper Club's upcoming issue of their newspaper unless she becomes his. I wonder what will happen when Rin get's wind of this and gets his hands on the SOB who had the gall to go after one of his friends. Find out now and as always, I own nothing but the ocs. So read, review, and enjoy.
Chapter 9
The Half-Blood's Fury
It's been one day now since the confrontation between Rin and Yukio and right now everyone at Yokai Academy was getting ready to start their morning. Right now in Rin's homeroom, they were about to get a new student. It was revealed to be Shiemi Muriyama, who was now wearing a standard Yokai Academy girl's uniform, consisting of a white blouse with a green blazer, a plaid skirt and a red bow. She also wore white knee high stockings with brown loafers. The uniform was tailored to help fit Shiemi's impressive bust, which undoubtedly caught the attention of many of the male population.
The day after the incident with Yukio, Rin and the gang went to Headmaster Mikogami and explained the whole situation with him. Mikogami of course had no trouble admitting Shiemi on the condition that she stick close to Rin, which Shiemi wholeheartedly agreed to, which of course didn't put Kurumu at ease. He even gave her the cover story that she was a witch and a distant cousin of Yukari so that no one at the school, student or teacher, would question it.
"H-hello everyone, my name is Shiemi Muriyama. I may be new here but I hope we can all get along and be friends." Shiemi shyly introduced herself as she bowed her head. The guys in the classroom looked overjoyed to have a pretty blonde with an impressive bust in their class. A lot of them complimented on her appearance, which made her blush greatly. She then noticed Rin, Tsukune, Moka, and Kurumu in the back of the room. Rin was waving at her with a smile, which in turn made her smile brightly.
"Oh, hi Rin, Tsukune, Moka, Kurumu. I didn't see you guys back there." Shiemi said as she waved back. Some the boys looked at Tsukune and Rin with jealous glares.
"Hey, how the hell do you and Aono know a hottie like her Okumura?!" One student exclaimed angrily.
"Shiemi just so happens to be a friend of mine from my old school." Rin answered with a grin while Tsukune looked at them with an embarrassed look while scratching the side of his head.
"I admit I'm a little nervous being in a new school, but like I said I hope we can all be friends." Shiemi said.
"Well we are all delighted to have you here Miss Muriyama and I believe you are going to like it here." Miss Nekonome told Shiemi not losing her smile.
"I've no doubt about that Miss Nekonome and also thank you for letting me into the Newspaper Club."
"Oh no trouble at all, we're always happy to welcome new members. Now why don't you have a seat behind Mr. Okumura."
"Yes ma'am." Shiemi then walked to the back of the room where Rin sat and took her seat.
"Mr. Okumura, since you are acquainted with Miss Muriyama, do you mind giving her a tour of the school when you get the chance?" Miss Nekonome asked the half-blood.
"Not at all Miss N." Rin replied all too happily.
The boys in the class were all shooting death glares at the older Okumura twin. "You better not get in my way of trying to win her over, Okumura or you're a dead man." One student said angrily.
Rin just looked at him and the rest of the boys with an intimidating and demon like glare, which spooked them into silence. "You're all welcome to try." He said menacingly. With how scary he became, they gave up any shot with Shiemi and shut up.
Miss Nekonome then adjusted her glasses as she cleared her throat to get everyone's attention. "Now that introductions are done, let's begin today's lesson." She then turned to the chalkboard, chalk in hand, and began her lecture.
Girls Bathroom, After school
Shiemi was now in the girls restroom washing her hands. As she was drying them off, she heard the door opened, catching her attention. She looked to see a familiar blue haired succubus. "Oh, hi Kurumu." She greeted her with a smile.
Kurumu was surprised to see Shiemi in the girls bathroom. "Oh, hey Shiemi." She greeted casually. "So...how are you liking it here?" Kurumu asked.
"Oh I am loving it here." Shiemi replied. "Everyone here is super nice, especially the boys." Kurumu just rolled her eyes at her naivete as she probably knew why they were being so nice to her. It came to her then that since the two were alone, she had to let Shiemi know that she has laid her claim onto Rin.
"Well I'm glad to hear that." Kurumu replied. "So Shiemi, I need to talk to you about something."
"Sure Kurumu, what is it?"
"Well...it concerns Rin."
Shiemi raised an eyebrow. "Rin? What about him?"
"Well...I just wanted to let you know...that I have already claimed him as my destined one!" Kurumu proclaimed.
Shiemi just looked at her confused. "Your...'destined one'?"
"Yes. Rin is my destined one. My mate of fate. The one who I believe to be the man I am destined to spend the rest of my life with."
Shiemi was silent for a moment, trying to put what Kurumu was saying to her into perspective. After a couple moments, she put it together and smiled brightly at her. "Oh, does that mean you really like Rin, Kurumu?"
Kurumu was taken aback by her question but even more at her attitude just now. "Uhhhh...yes. Yes I really do like Rin. Like a lot."
Shiemi never lost her smile as she walked closer to Kurumu. "Well if that's the case, then I won't get in the way of you trying to make Rin your boyfriend. In fact, if you need any help, just let me know and I'll do what I can so you can win his heart." Shiemi said happily.
Kurumu was taken even further aback. Shiemi just basically told her she can make Rin her boyfriend and she won't get in her way. Kurumu was starting to think that her jealousy was just her imagination and she was worried for nothing. "R-r-really. You mean you have no intention of trying to get Rin to fall for you?"
Shiemi's smile soon turned neutral as she shook her head. "No. In all honesty, I don't think I have the time or comfort level for a boyfriend because I was so focused on trying to become an exorcist. But now that I'm not trying to be one anymore, I just want to be a normal girl, one who will be ready for romance a little later." She replied. "Besides, I think you have more of a better shot at becoming Rin's girlfriend. So like I said, if you want to go after Rin, you have my full support all the way." She replied as she regained her cheery smile.
Kurumu was quiet for a moment before she cheered happily. "KYAAAAAAH! Shiemi, thank you, thank you so much." She then grabbed Shiemi's hands. "Let's be friends." Kurumu happily declared.
Shiemi herself had a bright smile on her face. "Best friends." She added as the two girls continued to happily hold each other's hands. Shiemi herself was beside herself as she just made a new friend just like that. They let each other go after a few moments. "So Kurumu, tell me, what made you decided that Rin was you 'destined one'?"
"Well since you asked, it all started right around when school started up..." Kurumu then went on to tell the blonde tamer her story of how she tried to hypnotize Rin with her love charm, how she tried to kill him when the plan failed, to which shocked Shiemi at first but Kurumu continued to explain her story, and finally when she was about to meet her demise at the hands of the outer Moka when Rin stepped in and defended her. Kurumu even told her how Rin carried her like a princess to the infirmary after the fight. Shiemi absorbed the story she was told and couldn't help but be in child like awe at how romantic Kurumu's story was. After Kurumu told her story, Shiemi was hoping even more that Kurumu and Rin would end up together since they have so much in common aside from the fact they are demons (well half one in Rin's case) and they are both fantastic cooks.
The Next day
It was Saturday, one of the two days students have off to either finish up some homework, catch up on some studying, or just relaxing after being locked in classrooms for most of the week. That is the case for most students, but not for the Newspaper Club. The newest edition of the Yokai gazette was set to be released in the next couple of days. Right now the Newspaper Club were in their classroom writing up the story along with some of their own columns. Everyone except for Gin, who was sitting at the desk in the front of the room just reading a newspaper and not helping.
Kurumu was stretching after having been sitting for a while. "I can't take this." She complained. "It's finally Saturday and we're all packed in here."
"It's true, we're just like a mangaka being chased by a deadline." Yukari added.
"Yeah and to add more to that suck salad, we're not even getting paid for this." Rin added.
"What's a mangaka?" Shiemi asked.
"Well you know what manga is right?" Rin asked.
"You mean those comic books you like to read Rin?"
"Yeah, a mangaka is someone who draws and writes them."
"Oh, so that's what that is."
"Hey, stop being babies!" Gin said. "A newspaper's the same as manga, with strict adherence to deadlines."
Everyone in the Newspaper Club just looked at their president with contempt because he was lecturing them about a deadline and he wasn't even lifting a finger to help. "Come on guys, this isn't the time to be fooling around. I'll listen to your sob stories after you make the deadline."
"Then would you please help us out instead of relaxing over there drinking coffee!" Moka exclaimed loudly.
"Yeah, we're the ones doing all the work and you're over their sitting around with your thumb up your ass!" Rin added, making Gin glare at him.
"Hey, watch how you talk to people like that. Especially to your seniors, Okumura." Gin shot back.
"Up yours, fleabag."
Gin and Rin just stared at each other intensely as imaginary sparks started flying everywhere. "Hothead."
"Pervy Mutt."
"Hell Spawn."
"Horn Dog."
"Demon Child."
Shiemi could feel the tension between the two and decided to step in and try and stop it. "Now, now guys, can't we all just get along?" She said sheepishly as they continued to throw insults at each other.
"He's letting it go to his head just like a manga editor." Yukari said to Tsukune.
"Hey, why do we keep connecting this to manga?!" Tsukune asked with a sweat drop.
Kurumu then wrapped herself around Rin, which stopped his and Gin's insult competition. "Well I don't care what I'm doing as long as I'm with Rin." She said happily as she pushed her chest against Rin as he adopted a pervy grin at the softness of Kurumu's breasts all the while any logic and reason left his head. Seeing this irritated and angered Gin.
"HEY, NONE OF THAT CRAP WHILE WE'RE ON THE JOB!" Gin shouted angrily.
Rin just grinned cockily at the werewolf. "What's the matter mutt, you jealous?" Rin asked facetiously, further angering Gin while Kurumu wrapped her arms around Rin and just stuck out her tongue and pulled down her eyelid at him, further irritating the werewolf.
"Probably, with the way Gin is, he's never gonna get himself a girl." Yukari said jokingly.
Tsukune, Moka, and Shiemi just looked at the hi jinx and all of them let out a sigh. '''We're never going to get this done at this rate.''' They all thought at the same time.
While this was going on, no one noticed someone perched on the branch of the tree outside the club room and that this someone was taking pictures. His camera focused solely on Kurumu. "Uhuhu, there you are my beloved one." The unknown stalker said to himself as he continued to take pictures of Kurumu. "Heeeeh, you're so cute! Just watching you like this isn't enough, I can't take it anymore. Just you wait, soon I'll be holding you in my arms!" He said in a creepy tone as he chuckled wickedly.
Some time later
It was now approaching the afternoon and Rin and the gang (minus Gin of course) were still hard at work to try and get the paper ready before the deadline. Miss Nekonome came into the room with a plastic bag. "Is everyone working hard? I brought snacks for everyone." The Newspaper Club adviser announced.
Gin took notice of her presence and greeted her. "Oh, Miss Nekonome."
"I came to see if the work was still going on, but from the looks of things, I need not ask."
"There are a lot of cuts and pages to do. It's a lot of work." Moka said.
Miss Nekonome then set the bag on the table. "Well come on, eat the snacks and cheer up." She said cheerfully. When the clubmates reached into the bag, they felt something slimy. Tsukune pulled out one of the contents, which was revealed to be a whole raw fish, disgusting the club member. As it turned out, the bag was filled with raw fish.
"Miss Nekonome!? This fish is raw!" Tsukune exclaimed as Yukari's and Shiemi's faces morphed into ones of disgust. Shiemi even covered her mouth to keep her from throwing up because of the smell of the fish.
"It's delicious that way." Miss Nekonome tried to defend, but it wasn't working. While everyone was lamenting over the 'snacks' their teacher brought them, Miss Nekonome then turned her attention to Kurumu and produced an envelope. "Oh by the way Kurumu, this letter was dropped off in front of the classroom."
"Letter?" Kurumu said with a raised eyebrow. Once she got a hold of it, she saw that it was indeed adresed to her. It read 'To my beloved Kurumu' and was from someone named Nagare. She wondered if this could be a love letter as well wondering who Nagare was all the while wondering why here and why now. She opened the envelope and inside were some pictures and a note. When she got a look at the pictures, her blood immediately ran cold. They were pictures of here doing very provocative poses as well as some of her partially undressing. The note read 'If you don't want these pictures to become public, come alone to the Monster Tree in the main schoolyard, Nagare.' Kurumu now realized this was a blackmail letter. She wanted nothing more that to find this Nagare and claw his eyes out for even thinking about blackmailing her.
Rin looked at Kurumu and couldn't help but wonder what was wrong since she hadn't taken her eye off of the letter she got. "Hey Kurumu, you okay?"
"KYAAAAAAH!" Kurumu shrieked and immediately stuffed the letter and pictures into the Newpaper Club's toolbox to keep Rin and the others from seeing them and turned around to face them. Hearing her scream certainly came as a surprise to everyone, especially Rin since he never heard Kurumu shriek like that.
"Kurumu, what's wrong?" Tsukune asked.
"Yeah you look like you just saw a ghost." Shiemi added.
"Who me?! I'm great! Why wouldn't I be?!" She asked them as she chuckled awkwardly. "Hey listen, I kinda just remembered I have to do something so I'll be taking off, OK?" Take care of the rest for me!" She said before she quickly ran out the door like someone lit a fire under her ass.
"Kurumu!" Moka tried to get her attention, but Kurumu was already out the room and headed to where the blackmailer demanded.
Rin just looked at the scene confused. "What the hell was that all about?"
"Does Kurumu always act like that?" Shiemi asked.
"No, this is a first." Yukari answered.
Tsukune, Rin, and Moka couldn't help but wonder what it is that was making Kurumu act so funny. Meanwhile, Kurumu managed to find her way to the Monster Tree to meet with her blackmailer. She looked around anxiously for him when she heard someone call out to her from above her. "I've been waiting for you." Kurumu looked up to one of the branches to see a boy with shoulder length hair with bangs that covered the right side of his face. He wore the Academy uniform minus the jacket and also had a camera around his neck. Kurumu also noticed that he looked to be sweating. "So you saw those pictures and my letter, I'm glad. Long time, no see, eh Kumuru."
Kurumu just glared angrily at her blackmailer. "What do you want?! Calling me all the way out here with those dirty pictures. Just who are you?!" She demanded angrily. The blackmailer just smiled grossly at her question as he started to climb down the tree. It was then that Kurumu realized she didn't have the pictures on her. 'Ah...those pictures. I hid them in the toolbox in a panic and left them there. Oh crap, if anybody sees them, especially Rin-' she thought terrified, she never wanted any of those pictures to be seen by public eyes, especially her destined one, who knows what would happen. She them heard a noise and looked to see her blackmailer, who had jumped down when he was close enough to the ground. When he appeared so suddenly, it gave her a jump.
"I took really cute pictures of you, right?" He asked, chuckling in the back of his throat. "I really liked them." He then stood at full height and Kurumu couldn't help but be sicked out by his appearance. She noticed that he was sweating profusely and couldn't help but think he seemed a little scary. "I'm Nagare Kano. Don't you remember me?" Kurumu didn't really remember this as he explained that it was a bit after school started and her blackmailer, now identified as Nagare, came to her and asked if he could take some pictures of her. She was more than willing to comply since she found someone who thought she was prettier than Moka. He even mentioned to her that if he took some really pretty pictures, she would go out with him.
'I don't remember at all.' She thought. 'I guess I talked with a lot of guys in order to compete with Moka before I met Rin.'
"I've been waiting all this time ever since." Nagare said with a creepy tone, further creeping out the succubus. "Go on a date with me right now right now just like you promised, Kurumu. Unless you want those pictures to be shown to the whole school." Kurumu just cringed at those words. Seeing no other option, she complied to go out with him, all the while wondering what the disgusting boy had in mind for a 'date.'
Meanwhile back in the Newspaper Club room, everyone was still hard at work with the newspaper and preparing it for the upcoming deadline. Everyone noticed that it's been awhile since Kurumu left and couldn't help but wonder where she could have gone.
"Man, Kurumu has been gone for a while now, hasn't she?" Rin said.
"If you ask me, we have no use for people who run off like that." Yukari said half joking.
"Wow, you sure can be harsh, Yukari." Tsukune retorted. He wondered how an 11 year old girl could say something like that.
Moka had her own though in her head she liked to voice. "You know, I wonder what Kurumu thinks of the Newspaper Club."
Hearing that made everyone look at Moka and wonder what could have brought something like that up. "Hm? What do you mean by that, Moka?" Shiemi inquired.
"Well, Kurumu is here because she likes Rin, right?" She replied, she also thought Kurumu totally hated her when they first met. "The truth is that maybe she doesn't think of any of us as friends. Because going off like that at such a busy time for everyone is really weird." That statement came as a surprise to everyone. Even Miss Nekonome thought that the team wasn't as close as she thought even though they seemed to be working good together.
After some silence, Rin decided to break it. "Ah come on Moka, I think you're way overthinking things. You've always been getting along well with her." Rin said.
"I agree." Shiemi added. "I haven't known Kurumu very long, but I don't think she's a bad person. Besides, I'm sure that she really did have something important to take care of."
"Yeah, whatever it is that Kurumu is doing, I'm sure that she's wrapping it up right now and she's on her way back now." Tsukune added. Oh how wrong he was.
Back with Kurumu and Nagare, Kurumu was right now wearing some gym clothes from another school. It the outfit looked a bit tight on her. The attire was enough to embarrass her and make her blush. "H-hey, what is all this?" She asked Nagare, who had a perverted grin on his face. "Why do I have to change into gym shorts for a date? Let alone from another school's?" She asked innocently.
"It's a pretend photo shoot!" Nagare exclaimed perversely. "Oh Kurumu, you look real good in those!" He then started taking pictures of Kurumu from every angle at quick speeds.
"THIS ISN'T WHAT I MEANT BY A DATE!" Kurumu shouted embarrassed. "QUIT ACTING LIKE A-"
"Ep, ep, ep, are you sure about talking to me like that?" Nagare shot back, making Kurumu shut up. He continued to look at Kurumu with a perverted grin, further creeping her out. "I have this special ability of finding out what a girls secrets are. Suffice it to say, I know a lot about you Kurumu." He then got close to Kurumu to whisper in her ear. "For example stuff like..." When he backed up, Kurumu's face was now as red as a tomato. She couldn't believe that he knew all of her embarrassing secrets. Nagare just ate up the expression on her face and chuckled evilly. "If you're not going to cooperate, then maybe I'll just have to tell everything to Rin. Or maybe I should tell people a dirty little secret of his" He threatened, making Kurumu's eyes widen in shock.
"Wha-what do you know about Rin?"
"Oh, you mean other that the fact that he's a spawn of Satan himself?" He asked. Kurumu was ever more shocked that he knew about Rin's lineage.
"H-how?! How do you know that?!"
Nagare's grin widened. "I've had my eye on you for quite some time Kurumu, and when I saw that you were hanging out with that low-life, I had to do something to get you away from him." He explained. "So I've been following you around hoping I could find something juicy on him. When Rin fought those lizard men, imagine my surprise when he suddenly erupted into blue flames. The only creature I know that can produce those flames is Satan, the king of the demons. To think that Rin Okumura is a spawn of one of the most evil creatures in all of existence was quite the shocker. I even managed to get some pretty candid shots of it too."
Nagare cupped his chin. "Hmmmm, I wonder what would happen if people around here were to be told that little bit of information." He wondered out loud. Many things were going through her head at his statement. Many people knew about Satan and knew how powerful and evil he was. Aside from herself and the rest of the Newspaper Club, if word got out to the rest of the students and the teachers about Rin being his child, people would come to fear and hate him. Some of them would try and get rid of him for the sake of erasing his bloodline.
"No wait!" She exclaimed, making Nagare look at her. "Please...don't tell anyone about Rin or tell him about those 'things' about me. I couldn't live with the shame and the humiliation of Rin finding about such embarrassing things, but I couldn't bear it either if something happened to him if people found out about where he came from." She pleaded with tears in her eyes. "So please...I'll do what you want. Just...please don't tell anyone."
Nagare was eating up her plea and the look on her face. "That's more like it. Very well then," he then pulled out a frilly maid outfit out of nowhere and presented it to Kurumu, who was shocked. "Then how about we do this cosplay!"
Kurumu reluctantly took the costume and went to the gym storage shed to change. As she was taking off the gym uniform, she tried to figure out a way out of the situation she was in. 'This sucks!' She thought to herself. 'This guy is going too far. Maybe I should use my powers of illusion as a succubus to control his mind so that he can't disobey me.' Kurumu thought it'd be a good idea, but then she shook her head. 'No, I can't. I stopped doing those awful things after I met Rin and the others. What should I do? And to know everyone including Rin is working so hard for the club when I'm doing this. Regardless, I have to do this so that that creep doesn't expose Rin's identity. So for now...' She put on the maid uniform and went back to Nagare, who looked like he was drooling at how she looked. With no option, Kurumu continued the mock photo shoot.
It was now nearing the end of the day. After 12 costume changes, including an embarrassingly tight fitting school swimsuit, Kurumu managed to get back to the school building. She then took off in a sprint towards the classroom, where she was hoping that everyone was still there. When she opened the door, everyone looked to see Kurumu enter the room. Kurumu saw that everyone was shooting her a death glare for ditching them. 'EYAAAAA! They're pissed! They're all really pissed!' She thought afraid. 'I'm gonna get yelled at!' She flinched as she prepared for everyone to yell at her.
"Hey, welcome back Kurumu." Rin greeted. "Must have been something big if you were gone for most of the day." At this point, everyone was cleaning up and getting ready to head out for the day.
"Well, we're just about to finish up work for today." Tsukune said as he stood up.
"We decided to work hard tomorrow and finish up the rest. So you can leave too." Moka added as she too got up from her seat. Kurumu was left dumbstruck. She just realized she wasted the whole day playing dress up for a pervert and she didn't put in any work for the paper. Now she realized she was too late to do anything right now. Right now she stood all alone in the room. In her mind, she thought about how she was so stuck up and how she was treated so special because of her looks, that she never had a real friend, but she didn't care at the time. But now that she really had friends in her corner and found her destined one in Rin, she thought that this was all karma catching up to her for being the way she was back then.
"I have to go apologize to everyone." She said to herself, but before she could make it to the door, she was greeted by Nagare, literally the last person she ever wanted to see after today. He still had a perverted grin on his face, which pissed off Kurumu to no end. She gave him a death glare that would have sent a chill down anyone's spines, but Nagare seemed to be unaffected by it.
"Hey, what's wrong Kurumu?" He asked, chuckling in his throat.
Kurumu just stared at Nagare hatefully. "What the hell do you want?"
"Well, today was really fun, wasn't it? Let's have some fun tomorrow too, shall we?" He then reached behind his back and pulled out of nowhere another outfit for Kurumu to wear. Kurumu became wide eyed in shock as it was an outfit Kurumu recognized all too well. It was a very skimpy yellow bikini that would show a lot of skin, the patches on the bra would show off a good portion of her breasts but still manage to cover her nipples, albeit barely, while the bottom half was a thong piece that would expose much of her butt cheeks. It was a swimsuit she had ordered to wear to show off for Rin in the off chance the two joined the Swim Club or the two went to the beach together.
"W-w-where did you get that?"
"Like I said, I have the special ability of learning a girl's secret." Nagare answered, never losing his grin. "Honestly, I knew you were a pervert after learning your secrets, but this is just gravy. Now, let's have you wear this tomorrow for our next shoot."
Kurumu's glare intensified. "Like hell you sick creep! There isn't going to be a tomorrow. The date, as you called it, was only supposed to be for today-"
"Ep, ep, ep. That's a really cold tone you're taking with me right now. Do you really want me to show Rin those photos?"
"You said you wouldn't show them to anyone! Least of all to Rin!"
Nagare's grin soon became more sinister as he stared lecherously at the succubus, scaring her greatly. "Then we'll have some fun tomorrow, right?" He asked lustfully. "I'm not going to let you go now!"
Kurumu remained silent. She couldn't do anything since tomorrow is one day before the deadline for their newspaper. She just glared at Nagare before she ran out the door. "Stop following me you sicko!"
Nagare was now all alone in the classroom. He then looked the a group of desks that were adjoined together and noticed something on them. He picked it up and soon he smiled evilly as he figured out what it was. "Hmmmm, a half finished newspaper. This is nice!" He then came up with a plan. If he couldn't get Kurumu to be his though his first method, then this would definitely get her to submit to him. Right now, he was thinking he struck gold.
Kurumu was now running through the halls to the shoe lockers. She was so distraught at the events that just happened. It's bad enough that some scumbag had the gall to blackmail her into a embarrassing and humiliating photo shoot, but now she basically left her friends to do all the work. She leaned on the shoe lockers for support and began to cry. She didn't know what to do. She couldn't go to her friends for help without risk of the dirty photos becoming known and she couldn't fight Nagare either because for one she didn't know what kind of monster he was. She was backed into a corner and had no idea how to get out.
"Kurumu." Kurumu heard her name and immediately wiped away her tears. She looked to see Rin at the doorway.
"Oh Rin." She finished wiping her tears and greeted him with a fake smile. "What are you still doing here?"
"I noticed that you didn't leave the room so I stuck around to wait for you." He noticed that her eyes looked a little red. "What's wrong? Are you okay?" Rin asked with clear concern in his voice.
"What do you mean? I'm fine Rin." She answered. Rin could tell she was lying.
"I don't believe you." Kurumu's smile soon vanished. "Kurumu, you've been out of it since Miss Nekonome gave you that letter this morning. Then you left all of a sudden to take care of something and being gone for most of the day. And from the look in your eyes, you look like you've been crying. Seriously, I've never seen you like this. Tell me what's wrong, maybe I can help."
Kurumu was silent. She couldn't tell him what was going on without fear of her secrets or his getting out, him getting hurt, or him going on some kind of a rampage. "Rin...I..." She struggled to find out what to say to him.
"What is it?"
Kurumu then looked up to Rin. "Rin...everything's fine, really." She said with a sincere smile, although Rin still wasn't too convinced. "Look, I'm sorry about ditching all of you this morning, but what happened is a matter only I can deal with." Rin just continued to look at her, wondering what it is that she's hiding. Kurumu then cupped his face. "I promise Rin, everything is fine. But I really appreciate your concern. You really are a great guy." She then got up on her tip toes and planted a kiss on Rin's right cheek, greatly surprising him and causing him to blush madly. "See you tomorrow." Kurumu winked at Rin and headed for her room at the girls dorm to turn in for the night.
Rin turned to see her walking off. He then put a hand to the cheek where Kurumu kissed him. He looked on in deep thought as she walked away. Kurumu was hiding something, so why wouldn't she tell him anything. "Kurumu, what are you hiding?" He asked himself.
The Next Day
It was now Sunday, the newspaper deadline was tomorrow and the Newspaper Club were going to go all out to make sure that it was completed on time for tomorrow. Kurumu herself was going to do some of her share of the work before she had to go meet with Nagare again. At least that was the plan. When they got to the classroom, they received a shock.
"KYAAAAAAAA!" Moka screamed as she saw that their newspaper was gone. "They're gone! The drafts we had half finished yesterday, they're all gone!" Moka exclaimed.
"WHAAAAAAAAA!" Everyone in the club exclaimed in surprise.
Yukari went to her laptop to see if all the back up data was still there. When she accessed her laptop, she received a shock as well. "IYAAAAH! All my data was even deleted!" This shocked everyone as well. "And not just my data, my backup disk is gone too...They even read my diary!" She then noticed something on her computer. "And even worse, the keyboard is all slimy like there were slugs crawling on it." Everyone looked and she was right, the keyboard was covered in green mucous like slime. Seeing it disgusted everyone present. Yukari even tried wiping the slime off on her clothes.
"Wait, slimy?" Kurumu said. Suddenly, it came to her as she knew who was behind the crime. 'It's him! He was the only one here besides Rin and me last night. Then this is just more blackmail towards me. By keeping those drafts, he's trying to make me do as he says.' She thought.
Gin slammed his hands on his desk and got everyone's attention. "Damn it! There's nothing we can do!" He said. "We don't have time to search for the thief now. Start it from the beginning again!"
"WHAT?!" Rin exclaimed. "Seriously Gin?! Do you have any idea how much we busted our asses to get the story we were doing?!"
"We don't have a choice Okumura! Look guys, I don't care if there's not much on each page, just do something!"
"But what are we supposed to write about?" Shiemi asked.
"Like I said, just throw something out there! I don't care!" Gin replied as he sat down and started rubbing his temples.
While everyone was either arguing or wondering what to do next, no one noticed that Kurumu slipped out and headed back for the monster tree where she first met Nagare. Without saying a word, she took off to confront the sleaze bag, teach him a lesson, and get back their paper. 'Kanou Nagare, you made the mistake of thinking you can blackmail me into being your pin up model, but taking something as precious as the newspaper I made with everyone including Rin. When I find you, I'm going to make you suffer.' She thought angrily as she continued to run down the hall.
Moka looked toward the door and noticed that Kurumu wasn't there. "Wait a minute, where did Kurumu go?" Moka said, prompting everyone to look around the room with her. "I knew it." She said with hurt in her voice.
"Knew what Moka?" Tsukune asked.
"Kurumu, she just thinks about herself when everyone else is having a hard time. She doesn't know or care about how anyone else feels! Well if that's the case, then leave and never come back."
"Hey whoa, Moka where's any of that coming from?" Rin asked. "I half expected something like that to come from the other you."
"Rin, we both know that she's here because you're here. She never thought of any of us as her friends, all she cared about was being near you."
"You don't know that." Rin interjected.
"Why are you even defending her?" She asked angrily. "Oh wait, does this have to do that the both of you are demons and you're just looking out for your own kind? Is that it?"
At that, Rin violently grabbed Moka by the front of her blouse and pulled her close to her face. Rin was mad now. He looked like he was mad enough to chew nails and spit them back out. Seeing him make that face scared everyone, but none more so than Moka.
"Rin, calm down." Shiemi tried to intervene.
"Moka, you better choose your next words carefully, because the next thing to come out of your mouth might damn well be your last!" Rin threatened the vampiress with venom in every word. He felt a hand on his shoulder and saw his best friend.
"Rin, please calm down." He pleaded. "Moka is just upset, she didn't mean to offend you or call you a demon. Rin, please." Moka herself rapidly shook her head in fright. She already crossed a line calling Rin a word he hated more than anything and she certainly didn't want to incur more of his wrath. Rin then let go of Moka and stared at her angrily for a few moments. He left the room without saying a word to go and try and find Kurumu. Shiemi took off after him immediately afterwards as she called his name. Moka's face soon turned downtrodden and depressed. She now realized that she royally screwed up.
Rin was walking in the hall trying to blow off some steam at what Moka had said to him. To say he was fuming would be an understatement. He knew Moka was upset at the situation, but she had no right to throw something like that in his face. "Rin, wait!" Rin turned to see Shiemi running up to him. "Rin, are you alright?" She asked.
"No, not really." Rin replied. "What are you doing here Shiemi?"
"I had a feeling you were going to find Kurumu and I'm here to help you."
"You don't have to, Shiemi."
"I know, but I want to. Listen Rin, Kurumu and I recently became friends and I know that something has been eating at her since yesterday. If there is a chance to find out what it is and help her, then I want to help too." Shiemi said determined. Rin just smiled at her determination to help out her friends.
"Thanks Shiemi." Rin said gratefully. "Alright then, we'll have a better chance to find Kurumu if we split up." Shiemi nodded her head as she and Rin went in separate directions to look for Kurumu. Shiemi even summoned Nee to help out as well.
Meanwhile, back at the monster tree, Nagare was sitting on a branch with the newspaper the club was working on in his hand. He figured if he took their work, it would only be a matter of time before Kurumu would figure out that he was behind it and come running to reclaim what he took. Right now he sat and waited patiently, playfully kicking his legs back and forth to kill the boredom. He even hummed to himself as he was kicking. His patience paid off as the target of his sick obsession called his name.
"Nagare!" Kurumu shouted.
"Hmmm?" He looked to see Kurumu at the base of the tree. "Ah, Kurumu. I knew you would come." He then showed her the newspaper and the back up data disc. "I take it this is what what you're looking for?" He asked in a mocking tone, making Kurumu glare daggers at him. "Well, if you want my personal opinion, the school newspaper is boring. The writing is childish and the photos are mediocre at best. Honestly, I think I would be a better choice to take pictures, wouldn't you agree?"
"Cut the crap, Nagare! You know why I'm here, so give back what you stole!" The succubus demanded.
Nagare then jumped down to ground level. He still had a evil and disgusting grin on his face. Kurumu knew right away he had something gross in mind for her. "Sure, I'm willing to give this stuff back to you...for a price."
"And what would that be?"
Nagare continued to grin evilly. "I'll give this to you after our little photo shoot, but in exchange...you also have to become my girlfriend, and we have to seal the deal with a kiss."
Kurumu became wide eyed in shock and anger. She knew Nagare was a creep and a pervert, but to stoop so low as to take her club's work and force her into a relationship with him, not to mention making her give him her first kiss. If Kurumu wasn't fuming inside before she sure was now. She had to figure out a way to get out of this situation and get the club's newspaper back.
"And if I refuse?"
Nagare's grin disappeared. "Oh, are you planning to defy me?" He asked before he grinned again. "Well then if that's the case, then I throw this trash into the incinerator and I also distribute those photos of you and Okumura. How's that sound, Kurumu?"
Kurumu remained silent as she tried to come up with a plan. 'Damn, this sick bastard. To think he would stoop so low to use such tactics. I really don't want to use my charm on him." Then she got an idea. 'Wait, I won't need to use my charm, but I still got one weapon left.' She then smiled at Nagare.
"Well, even I have to admit, I am impressed Nagare." She said with a sweet tone, even though she was lying. Nagare became confused at her statement.
"Impressed?"
"Yeah, to think you would go to all these lengths just to make me your girlfriend. That shows you're motivated and your smart too. You're just the kind of man I'm looking for Nagare Kano."
Any sane man would know that Kurumu was lying through her teeth, but with Nagare, he was too transfixed on her beauty and too overcome by his own lust for her to even put in a rational thought. He was smiling lustfully at Kurumu. "R-really? You mean it?"
"Of course." Kurumu answered as she started to seductively walk towards Nagare. She was quite confident in her acting skills and thought that if she couldn't use her charm powers, then she would have to do it the old fashioned way. "If that's what it takes to get the newspaper back, then forget the newspaper club, how about we get out of here and go somewhere a little more...private." Kurumu was now up close to his face and held his face. Nagare was soon red and steam was blowing out his ears and he started panting with his tongue out like a dog.
Back in the club room, everyone, minus Yukari, who was looking through the club's toolbox for any kind of clues, was trying to come up with ideas for the paper since their original got stolen. Well tried to anyway, after the situation earlier, everyone wasn't really into it. Especially Moka, she said something horrible to Rin out of frustration and it was still eating her alive. Tsukune took notice and decided to try and comfort her.
"Hey, you alright Moka?" He asked.
Moka shook her head. "No, I'm not. I said something so horrible to Rin and I had no right to throw it in his face like that."
"Moka, you were upset. And I'm confident Rin knows that too and wouldn't hold a grudge against you like that." His words didn't do anything to make Moka feel better.
"Doubt that." Gin said, making everyone look at him. "In case you've forgotten, Okumura is a demon, not to mention a son of Satan. He could have killed all of us just because he was pissed off. That's just how his kind are, especially those who have a direct relation to Satan himself."
"You shut the hell up Gin!" Tsukune retorted angrily as he shot up from his chair. "You don't know the first damn thing about Rin and how much he's suffered because of what he is!" The fire in Tsukune's voice defending his friend was enough to shut the president up. Tsukune then looked to Moka. "Come on Moka."
Moka was confused at the request. "Where are we going?"
"We're going to go find Rin and Kurumu and find out what the hell's going on." Tsukune said as he walked towards the door with Moka getting up and following close behind.
"Hey, slow your rolls Aono. In case you forgot, we still got a deadline to keep."
"The deadline takes a back seat now. Our friends take priority." Tsukune shot back.
Yukari was still going through the toolbox. Just as she was about to give up and go help Tsukune and Moka, she saw something near the bottom of the toolbox. She pulled out the envelope Kurumu got from Miss Nekonome yesterday. "Hm, what's this?" She wondered. She opened the envelope and saw the contents, causing her eyes to widen in shock and disgust. "Oh my!" She exclaimed, making everyone look at Yukari. "Guys, I found something awful! When I was looking for clues about who took our drafts and I found this in the toolbox!" She then presented the envelope to everyone.
(A/N: Warning; This is an attempted sexual assault scene coming up. I apologize if it seems offensive and wrong to some of you, but it's part of the story. So you are free to read on if you wish. If not, then scroll down to the end and continue from there. Thank you.)
Back with Kuruu and Nagare, Kurumu was still putting the moves on Nagare, as per her plan to get the drafts back. "So, what do you say Nagare? Are we gonna do that photo shoot right now or do you want to do that kiss right here and now. Either way, I'm game." Kurumu continued to say seductively.
"Well then let's have that kiss!" Nagare said excitedly as he puckered his lips. Nagare and Kurumu's faces started to close the distance with each other and were inches away from kissing. Just then, Kurumu extended her nails on her free hand and slashed Nagare's face.
"GAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" Nagare screamed in pain as he dropped the newspaper and the data disk as he grabbed his face to stop the bleeding on his face. Kurumu wasn't done yet, she soon brought up her right foot and kicked him right in the groin, causing him to fall to the ground in further pain.
Kurumu used this moment to grab the paper and the drive. "That's what you get for trying to blackmailing me you sicko!" Kurumu then took off in a sprint in the opposite direction. She didn't get very far as she felt something wrap around her ankle, tripping her to the ground. She looked behind her to see one of Nagare's arms had a tentacle like appendage coming from it. He looked up and he was glaring angrily at Kurumu. Several more appendages came from his arm and wrapped around Kurumu's wrists and other ankle, keeping her from escaping or fighting back. Nagare then slid Kurumu back to him and got on top of her.
"You little bitch!" He said with venom in his voice, frightening Kurumu. "You think you can goad me on like that, then scratch my face and kick me in the nuts and think I'm going to let you just walk away like that?!"
"Let go of me you bastard!" Kurumu demanded as she tried to struggle out of her binds, but to no avail. She then started shouting for help. "Help! Somebody help!"
Nagare then made another appendage and wrapped it around the bottom of Kurumu's face and entered her mouth to keep her from screaming anymore. "Ah, much better. I can finally hear myself think again." He said with an evil smile as he produced more appendages. The appendages then slid up Kurumu's skirt up to the top of her uniform shirt. Kurumu could feel the appendages crawling up her clothes and felt extremely disgusted from how slimy they felt. With an appendage still covering her mouth and gagging her, she somehow managed to resist the urge to vomit. With force, Nagare ripped Kurumu's clothes, exposing her dark blue bra and panties, further frightening her.
Nagare grabbed Kurumu's bra and ripped it, exposing her impressive G-cup sized breasts. Just seeing them were enough to make Nagare drool. He then started to violently grope Kurumu's bare breasts, causing her to wince in pain, all with a perverted and evil smile on his face. He was enjoying the sensation of Kurumu's large breasts. "Haaaaaaah, so these are what your breasts feel like, huh? Amaziiiiing!" After getting a feel of her breasts, he started to violently pinch and twist her nipples, causing her pain. He sneered perversely as Kurumu continued to try and struggle, all the while trying to scream, which were muffled. His hands grabbed her panties and just like with her bra, he easily ripped them, leaving Kurumu completely naked. He used the appendages that were holding her ankles and spread her legs open, giving him a good view of her vagina. He grinned perversely and chuckled. "Hehehe. Oooooh, you're pussy is simply marvelous Kurumu." He snickered. Kurumu's eyes started to tear up out of fright and embarrassment. She never felt more violated.
Nagare closed in on her vagina and started to sniff it, his nose practically in her vagina, further discomforting Kurumu. After a few deep sniffs, he backed off. "Mmmmm, oooh yes, you're a virgin alright. You know, it's funny. Considering that you're a succubus, I thought you would have given that up long ago, guess I was wrong." He started licking his lips. "Goooood, this makes things all the more...interesting."
Nagare started to undo his pants with the intention of raping Kurumu and more appendages started forming all around him as well. He wasn't just going to use his penis, he had the intention of using all his other appendages to brutally violate her in every orifice on her body. "Now, let's get down to business, shall we?" He asked rhetorically and with an evil grin on his face.
Kurumu started to cry in terror. This...sick bastard was about to viciously rape her and she was too powerless to do anything. She closed her eyes tightly. 'No! Please! Someone help me! Rin! Tsukune! Moka! Somebody, anybody, please...help me!' She pleaded.
(A/N: End Scene.)
"SATAN PUNCH!" Kurumu's prayers were answered as a flaming fist hit Nagare square in the side of the head, knocking him off of Kurumu and sending him flying a good distance away as well as burning away the appendages that held her down, freeing her. Once freed, she stood up and covered herself. She began coughing from having one of Nagare's appendages in her mouth, even throwing up. After regaining her composure, she turned to the direction of the attack and saw Rin running towards her. Rin had ran nearly across half the academy looking for Kurumu. When he heard what appeared to be someone screaming for help and it sounded like Kurumu, he rushed to the scene. When he reached the courtyard where the monster tree was, he saw the scene and immediately jumped in to stop it.
"Kurumu! Kurumu, are you alright?!" He asked her, taking off his uniform jacket and draping it around Kurumu to cover her. Kurumu looked up at him with tears in her eyes. She didn't want to get Rin involved in her mess and she certainly didn't want Rin to witness what just happened either.
She suddenly wrapped her arms around Rin and cried into his shoulders. Rin also wrapped his arms around Kurumu in a hug to calm her down and comfort. "I'm sorry! I'm so sorry, Rin!" She apologized in-between sobs. Hearing her apologize confused Rin.
"You're sorry? What are you apologizing for?"
"Because...because this whole thing is my fault."
Rin then cupped her face, making her look at him. "Hey, don't say crap like that." Rin said. "Listen, whatever is going on here, don't think for a minute any of it is your fault, do you understand?"
"Rin Okumura." Rin and Kurumu looked to see Nagare was starting to get up. Nagare had a evil grin on his face and a massive bruise from where he got punched. Blood was even coming out of his mouth, which he spat out. "Well, well, well. I was planning on getting rid of you later after I dealt with this little whore, and lo and behold, you come to me." His body soon began to change and grew bigger in size. His body was about three times Rin's height and his body was green and covered with slime. His eyes were also extended, giving him the appearance of a giant slug. His appearance disgusted the two demons greatly. Kurumu even covered her mouth to stop her from puking again. "Good, now I can deal with both of you at once."
"What the hell are you supposed to be?" Rin asked in disgust.
"I'm a slug monster." Nagare answered. "Did you know that a slug's body can go through even the smallest of cracks? Thanks to that, I can sneak into girl's rooms and find out their secrets and weaknesses. Imagine my surprise when I found out Kurumu's secrets. You wanna know?"
Rin looked back to Kurumu, who turned her face to hide her shame. Rin returned his gaze to Nagare and glared angrily at the slug monster. "You sick, disgusting freak! Is this how you get your rocks off?! Tell me something, how many times have you done this sort of thing to other girls here?"
"Hmmmm...don't know and more importantly, don't care." He answered callously. Rin just gritted his teeth in anger to the point of nearly breaking them. He then took out his sword out of his bag.
"Kurumu" Rin called out to her, making her look at him. "Stay back as far as you can. I'm about to fry this sick son of a bitch." He then unsheathed his sword and was once again engulfed in his flames. Seeing this didn't deter Nagare. In fact, he just chuckled at Rin.
"You really think that's supposed to scare me Okumura?" Nagare mocked. "I know full well what you are, spawn of Satan." That term made Rin glare even more hatefully towards the slug monster. "And after I kill you and have some fun with that little slut, I think I'll go after Moka Akashiya and maybe even that new blonde girl. What was her name? Uhhhh...oh yes, Shiemi Muriyama." He then started cackling like a madman. Hearing those names all but sealed his fate.
"SATAN PUNCH!" A large fire fist made contact with Nagare's face once again, knocking him back and stopping his laughter. The attack caused Nagare great pain. "You just made the biggest mistake of your life!" Rin said coldly, sending a shiver of fear down Nagare's spine. "SATAN SLASH!" Rin then fired a wave of blue flames at Nagare, hitting him in the chest, causing further pain. Rin continued to pummel him with his signature move. "If you thought your size would give you an edge, you're as stupid as you are disgusting! All it did was make you easier to hit!"
"DAMN YOU!" Nagare shouted as he brought his arm down to try and crush Rin. Rin however dodged the attack and brought his sword down on his arm, cutting it off completely. "GAAAAAH! MY ARM!" Nagare shouted in pain. Rin wasn't done yet as he stuck his sword into the ground for his next signature move.
"SATAN BOMB!" A series of explosions trailed to Nagare's position and exploded underneath him, causing him further pain.
"DAMN YOU! DAMN YOU! DAMN YOU YOU HELLSPAWN BASTARD!" Nagare then started to spew gas from the pores on his body. The gas started making it's way towards Rin, who didn't move from his spot.
"RIN, LOOK OUT!" Kurumu shouted in fright.
Her concern was not necessary as Rin's flames soon intensified and the gas soon dissipated completely. Nagare soon lost all sense of confidence and soon became terrified of Rin. Rin continued to glare daggers at Nagare. "My turn." Rin stuck his sword into the ground and jumped straight for Nagare's head, leaving a crack in the ground where he jumped from the power he let out. Rin grabbed Nagare's head and brought him to the ground hard, creating a large crack in the ground. Rin then started viciously slamming the back of his head into the ground.
"Wait, please-" Nagare didn't get a chance to get his say as Rin then threw him with all his might to the monster tree. The impact caused the tree to uproot. 'Time for something new.' Rin thought. Rin then took a deep breath and blew a large stream of fire from his mouth like a dragon. The fire engulfed both the tree and Nagare, who was screaming in terrible agony. Kurumu watched the fight in absolute awe. She knew Rin was powerful, but she'd never seen something like this before.
"Whoa! Rin is...incredible." She said to herself in amazement.
Rin ignored the screaming as he stood stationary for a few moments until Nagare stopped. Rin then grabbed his sword and sheathed it, dissipating the flames. Rin heard pained noises coming from where he threw Nagare. He saw that Nagare had reverted to his human form and was crawling. He was battered, bruised, and bleeding as well as having trouble crawling seeing as he had one arm missing. Rin stepped in front of him, the look on his face looked like it would kill Nagare a thousand times. Seeing him made Nagare look up at the half-blood in terror.
"Okumura, wait- OOF!" Rin kicked Nagare in the face, knocking him on his back. Afterward, Rin stomped his foot on Nagare's chest to keep him from escaping. Nagare continued to stare terrified at Rin. "Please, we can talk this out. Make some kind of a deal." He begged.
"A deal? You tried to rape Kurumu and you threatened to go after not only Moka, but Shiemi too on top of trying to kill me. You really think I'd make a deal with a lowlife piece of shit like you?!" Rin asked with venom in his voice. He shook his head as he unsheathed his sword again, scaring the slug monster shitless.
"P-p-p-please! Have mercy." Nagare pleaded.
"Sorry, all out of mercy." Rin responded with a cold and hollow voice. Rin then stabbed Nagare in the heart, causing Nagare to be engulfed in flames, causing the slug monster terrible, burning agony.
"GAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Nagare continued to scream and burn until his body turned to ashes, which soon scattered in the wind. The flames even destroyed his camera.
"As my old man would say, 'May the saints forgive you, because I won't.'" Rin said as he sheathed his sword and walked to Kurumu and knelt in front of her, a soft smile on his face.
"Kurumu, are you alright? That creep didn't hurt you, did he?"
Kurumu shook her head. "Physically no, but mentally..." She couldn't finish the finish the sentence as she began to cry again. Rin then wrapped her in a hug again and brought her close to him.
"It's okay Kurumu. He's gone now, he's never gonna bother you again." Rin said. Kurumu returned Rin's hug and began to cry into his shoulder. Rin patted her back to comfort her. "Shh. Shh. It's okay." He said softly. "It's okay."
Kurumu's grip became tighter. "Rin...please. Just...hold me like this. Hold me...and never let me go." Kurumu pleaded, which was muffled as she pressed her face into his shoulder. Rin didn't say anything as he continued to hold and comfort the crying girl in his arms.
"Rin! Kurumu!"
The two demons looked to see the rest of the Newspaper Club running towards them. "Guys, are you both okay?" Shiemi asked.
"Hey, how did you guys find us?" Rin asked.
"We saw the flames and figured you'd be fighting." Tsukune answered.
"Kurumu, we found the pictures and blackmail letter in the toolbox. We understand your situation." Moka said, making Kurumu look away in shame.
Hearing that made Rin widen his eyes in surprise. "Blackmail? What?"
"Kurumu was being blackmailed by a creep named Nagare. He threatened her with dirty pictures and threatened to go public with them." Yukari explained.
"That's awful." Shiemi said. Rin gritted his teeth in anger at such a despicable act. And with what he was going to do to Kurumu, killing him looked all the more justified.
"Kurumu, I'm sorry. I had my doubts about you and it was wrong. Please forgive me." Moka said with tears in her eyes. She then looked to Rin. "And Rin, I'm sorry about what I said back in the club room. I was upset and I ended up taking it out on you. I had no-" Rin then held up his hand to stop her.
"Hey Moka..." He balled his hand into a fist. "We're cool." He said with a smile. Moka smiled back as she bumped fists with Rin. "Plus if anything, I should apologize to you for losing my cool back there. That's a side of me I don't ever want my friends to be on the receiving end of. I promise it won't happen again." Moka nodded her head. "Hey uh, do you still have those pictures and letter?" Moka took them out of her pocket and handed it to Rin.
Rin just looked at the envelope with a frown. He then looked to Kurumu, who had a shameful look on her face again. Rin concentrated and suddenly, the envelope burst into flames. Rin then threw it on the ground, the act surprised Kurumu. Rin got back down and faced her. "There, those pictures are gone and so is that creep Nagare. You're officially free now Kurumu." Rin said with a genuine smile. Kurumu herself smiled, crying tears of happiness. She hugged Rin again, an act he was more than happy to return.
"Hey guys!" The group looked to see Yukari holding up the newspaper and data disk. "Look what I found."
"Oh wonderful. Now we can finish our paper before the deadline tomorrow." Shiemi said happily.
"Great, then lets get back to the club room and finish it." Kurumu said as Rin helped her up.
"Uhhhh...Kurumu-" Tsukune said. Kurumu saw that Tsukune had a small nosebleed. Kurumu looked down and realized that the jacket Rin gave her was still unbuttoned and she was still naked, completely exposed. "EEEEEEP!" She let out an embarrassed yelp as she turned around and covered herself, her face as red as a tomato. Rin looked away in embarrassment as she started buttoning the jacket to cover herself.
"Kurumu, why don't I take you back to your dorm so you can get a change of clothes and we can head back to the club room to finish the paper?" Rin offered.
"But what about-"
"It's okay Kurumu." Moka said with a smile. "We'll be waiting for you both in the club room."
Kurumu genuinely smiled at her friends. "Thank you all. Truly." She replied. The gang went their separate ways. Tsukune and the girls headed for the club room to put the finishing touches on the paper while Rin escorted Kurumu to her dorm room to get a fresh set of clothes, walking in silence the whole way. After a bit, they finally reached Kurumu's dorm room.
Before Kurumu entered her room, she looked to Rin. "Hey Rin."
"Yeah?"
"I just wanted to say...thank you. For everything you did."
"You don't have to thank me Kurumu, but I have to know, why didn't you tell me you were being blackmailed yesterday? I could have helped you. We all would have, you know that."
Kurumu was silent for a moment. "Because...because I couldn't live with the shame if anyone, especially you, saw those pictures of me or learned my secrets. Nagare even knew what you were and threatened to go public with that too. I'm sorry I didn't say anything, but I didn't want to things to get more complicated than they already were or risk yours or anyone else's safety." She responded. "Besides, this was my mess, I had to clean it up."
"That's ridiculous." Rin interjected as he put his hands on Kurumu's shoulders. "Kurumu, you should realize by now that you, Tsukune, Moka, Yukari, and Shiemi, you're all precious to me. I will sooner die before I let anything happen to any of you. Always remember, if you're in trouble, don't try and tackle it on your own, let us help you. Kurumu, you know I had already lost everyone I considered my friend and even my own brother turned his back on me, I'm not going to stand by and let anything happen to any of you. You all are not just my friends, you're all my family now, and I will do everything and anything to protect you all and will do so to my dying breath. I swear to you." Rin said with serious determination.
With happy tears in her eyes, Kurumu looked at Rin with loving eyes and once again wrapped him in a hug, which Rin returned. "Thank you Rin." She said. "And I promise you here and now that you will never be alone again. Even if the whole world turns against you because of who you are, we will never turn our backs on you. I will never turn my back on you." She said with a soft and loving tone, meaning every word she just said.
"Thanks Kurumu."
They broke the hug and Kurumu cupped Rin's cheeks, surprising him. Kurumu got up on her tip toes and brought her face very close to his, causing Rin to blush. "Now come here, I want to give you something for saving me." She cooed.
"What are-mpf!"
SMOOCH
Rin didn't get to finish as Kurumu pressed her lips to his and kissed him, Rin widened his eyes in surprise and lost all sense of rationality as Kurumu continued to kiss him. Rin was lost in the softness her lips provided and could actually feel every hint of love and admiration she felt for him in the kiss. He could also tell there wasn't any hint of her love charm in it. It was pure and it was all her.
After about half a minute of kissing, Kurumu took her lips off Rin and backed up a step, a loving smile gracing her lips. "A reward for my knight in shining armor for coming to my rescue. Hehe." Rin said nothing as he still tried to comprehend what just happened. "Well, I'll take a quick shower and get changed. I promise not to be long." She then entered her room, winking at him before entering.
Once Kurumu went into her room, Rin put his fingers to his lips. He had never been kissed by anyone before so the feeling of someone's lips to his was still alien to him. However, he didn't hate it at all. In fact, he rather enjoyed it. His heart began to beat rapidly in his chest as he recalled every moment of the kiss. After standing for about 10 minutes, Kurumu came out of the room in a new uniform.
"Hey Rin, you ready to head back?" She asked closing the door, but got no response. "Rin?"
Rin shook his head to snap him out of his funk. "Huh? What?"
"I was asking if you were ready to head back."
"Oh, yeah I am. Well come on, we got a deadline to meet." He said with a grin, which made Kurumu smile. She returned his jacket and they made their way to the club room to finish the paper. Along the way, Kurumu had something to ask Rin.
"Hey Rin."
"What's up Kurumu?"
"I was wondering. Was...was that your first kiss?" Kurumu asked with a slight blush.
Rin chuckled at her inquiry. "Would you believe me if I told you that that was my first kiss in like ever?"
"Really?!" Kurumu asked wide eyed in surprise.
"Yeah, I never even knew my mom so I never got to feel what it was like to be kissed by her and I certainly know no other girl who would kiss me. So...yeah, you are literally the first girl to ever kiss me."
Kurumu was surprised that her destined one had never experienced anything like a kiss before. But she soon smiled and gave Rin an offer. "Well then, how about I give you a kiss whenever you'd like one. And you can get it anywhere you want it." She offered.
Rin smiled gratefully. "Sure Kurumu, I think I'll take you up on that."
"Glad to hear it." Kurumu said as she tip toed again and planted a kiss on his cheek, making him flush red again, which in turn made Kurumu giggle. "Consider that one a freebie." Rin said nothing as he continued to blush madly at the surprise kiss, but he smiled nonetheless while feeling the cheek she kissed. It was nothing like being kissed on his mouth, but it still felt great. "Oh and for the record Rin, that was my first kiss back there." She said.
Rin snapped out of his trance at the realization. "What?! Seriously?! That was your first kiss?!" He exclaimed in surprise. "Aw man, I hope I didn't screw it up."
Kurumu put one of her fingers to her face. "Well, I wouldn't really know if you messed it up or not since it was my first. I liked it though." She answered with a sweet smile.
'Heeeeeh, she liked it.' Rin thought smiling at her answer, which soon disappeared. "But wait, are you even okay with your first kiss being with me?"
"Of course, Rin." Kurumu affirmed as she ran up and hugged him again. "Rin, you are more than worthy to have been my first kiss and I'm nothing short of happy that you were my first. I meant what I said when I told you that you were my destined one. I know without a shadow of a doubt that you are the man for me. The man I want to spend the rest of my life with."
"Kurumu." Rin said. He smiled warmly and wrapped Kurumu in a hug. "Thank you Kurumu. And just know that being with you, being with all of you, this...this is the happiest I've been in a long time. And I can't thank you enough."
"Nor will you have to. We're here for you Rin, just as you are for us. And I feel the same. Being with you and all of our friends, I couldn't be any happier."
The two continued to hug for a good long while until Rin decided to break the hug and faced Kurumu. "Well come on, everyone's waiting for us."
"Right." Kurumu nodded her head as she wrapped her arms around Rin's left arm and rested her head against his arm.
The two demons resumed their trek to the Newspaper club to finish up the paper for tomorrow. When they got there, everyone happily greeted them back and soon they got back to the grindstone. While they were working, Shura was once again perched on a branch watching everything from her sniper scope. She saw the whole thing go down with Nagare and she was about to jump in and put a stop to it but Rin beat her to the punch.
"Boy Rin. You're getting stronger with each passing day. At this rate, you just might end up becoming stronger than Shiro and even you're chicken brother for that matter. Hmm hmm, I wonder where the rest of this story will take us." She said to herself out loud as she continued observing.
Monday Morning
It was now Monday morning. The weekend was over and students were getting ready for another week of classes and lessons, even though many opted to not go to school, but they had no choice. Back in the club room, Miss Nekonome had arrived to get the newest edition of the paper for distribution. "The deadline has arrived! Is the newspaper finished?" She asked as she entered the room. What she saw inside surprised her. The entire Newspaper Club were all sleeping soundly at their desks with the newest edition finished and ready to head out. Miss Nekonome couldn't help but smile at the dedication they all displayed. To think they all stayed overnight to finish the paper warmed her heart.
'It looks like they are a close knit group after all.' Miss Nekonome thought happily. "Good work everyone. Rest up and leave the rest to me." She then left to get the papers ready for distribution. While everyone laid their heads on their desks, Rin and Kurumu were sleeping upright in their chairs, with Kurumu laying her head on Rin's shoulder, both with peaceful smiles on their faces. Kurumu truly felt like the luckiest girl alive, she had a whole bunch of people in her life now that she treasures above all else, including her destined one, who came to her rescue like a knight in shining armor in fairy tales she read as a child, and she couldn't ask for more.
And finally done with the next chapter. Like I said in my other fic, my work keeps me busy so I only have time to write one day a week. Plus this chapter was taken from the manga, so I had to find a way to tie everything in. Now before going on, some of you might have a couple concerns and I'll see if I can answer them. For instance, I know Nagare makes an appearance after the gang tangos with Miss Ishigami, so if you feel like that needs to be put in, let me know and I'll put it in. And as for the attempted sexual assault scene, like I said, I apologize if it offends some of you, but it was meant to be part of the story. Either read it or don't, it's your choice. So anyway, read and review, let me know what you all think and let me know what I can do to fix it, just remember, nothing too mean please. I hope you all enjoyed the sweet, tender moments between Rin and Kurumu in this chapter. Next chapter will deal with Tsukune continuing to train to try and get stronger and I am also going to include him learning to become a Tamer. Don't worry, I will explain it in the next chapter. Next time on The Son of Satan in Yokai Academy Chapter 10: The Demon Knight and A Legacy. As always, thank you all for the follows, favorites, and reviews. Everyone continue to stay awesome and look forward to the next chapter. Until then, this is TravyMcNavy184 signing out. Peace out everyone.
