Rosario Vampire: a Peaceful Program

by Kaiju Slayer 9117

Ten years ago, the masquerade of Yōkai Academy fell, which resulted in a decade long war between humans and monsters, along with millions of casualties. In order to prevent future fighting, an exchange program was created, which resulted in two yōkai enrolling in a human school, and two humans enrolling at Yōkai Academy. Tsukune x Harem. Rated M, because I'm paranoid.

5. Chapter 5 - Annoying Fan Clubs

Disclaimer: I don't own Rosario + Vampire. If I did, I'd probably be a millionaire.

A/N: I'm sorry for not publishing this in October, which is disappointing, because Rosario + Vampire would be fitting for Hallow's Eve, and this is the only chapter to have taken longer than a single month to publish. Maybe I'll be able to publish a chapter next October, and hopefully it's a Halloween themed chapter. Now to answer some reviews.

InsaneMakaioshin - 1) No, Kōchō isn't an OC. Kōchō means principal, and it's used with the honorific "sensei" to address the principal of an academic institution. 2) As for why the lizardmen didn't sell Kuyō out, I didn't put any thought into it at first, before I figured out a reason as to why they didn't snitch, but that will be revealed later on. 3) An excellent point. Tenmei originally didn't address Nurari as otou-sama, because it was an oversight on my part. True, and I rectified that mistake in Chapter 4.

Temporal King - Indeed. The red flags are nothing to be proud of, and true. It's okay, and there might even be more endangered species to be eventually listed. Those are good points on succubi/incubi and snow people's locations playing a key role in their survival, especially the use of WMDs in the arctic is never a good idea. The use of modern medicine and scientific research being applied to the snow people is an excellent idea.

You may have a point, and the decision to focus more on comedy had consequences that resulted in the anime's cancellation. Indeed, and it would have been better to stick with the tone of season 1. The fan service was nice, but maybe a little excessive. Indeed, and it will take some time to get used to it. You're welcome, and Kyōko's door getting vandalized does show she's treated the same as Tsukune.

The implication Kyōko and Tsukune not being related might be you misunderstanding what "not blood siblings" are. I made a slight adjustment in Chapter 4 to rectify that error, which you'll hopefully won't notice anymore. Just to explain it, "not blood siblings" is a trope, which is used to describe non-related siblings, but it can also refer to biological cousins that were raised together as siblings. Tsukune and Kyōko are indeed biological cousins, in addition to being adopted siblings.

Indeed, and that power of Kurumu's was used in the manga. Quite possible on the girls unlocking new abilities, especially through training and emotional trauma, in addition to the possibility of them reaching a higher state in their respective species. I see, but I would be curious to know the name of that story.

Yes, this will be a mixture of the anime and the manga, which has it going in a somewhat zigzag pattern. Kuyō does indeed want to reignite the war, which is a common goal of Fairy Tale. Indeed, and the other moles planted in the academy will eventually be revealed.

Yep. I do intend for Tsukune to eventually look at Yukari and Kurumu the same way he looks at Moka. Indeed, especially since it's inevitable that Tsukune will indeed be setting his sights on Yukari, Kyōko and Kurumu.

Maybe, but Mizore's turn will come soon enough, and that's good to know. I'm not sure on whether or not Mizore's hair will be cut. That's surprising, but she does look good with either hairstyle.

Indeed, and that's good to read. I'll be sure to keep these chapters coming in. She's a surprising choice, and cat girls are a treat.

*Yōkai Academy Boys' Dorm, 05/04/2006, 8:05 AM*

Within his room, Tsukune sat at his desk, while he wore his uniform, and he had his attention on a piece of paper. Tsukune had his left hand holding the paper in place, while his right hand held a pen, which he used to write on his paper, and he said, "Dear kaasan and otousan: If you've received this letter, then I'm still alive. As for Kyō, she hasn't been killed either. I hope you're doing well. It's been slightly over a month since Kyō and I enrolled at Yōkai Academy, which have produced mixed results for us. Despite most of the students and staff having disdain for us, a few of them treat us much better."

Tsukune kept writing, while he continued speaking, "When it comes to the staff that treat us bad, Kamoshida-sensei and Kotsuba-sensei are real jerks. As for Nekonome-sensei and Kagome-sensei, they're much nicer to us. When it comes to the students that are kind to us, there's our friends, Moka-san, Kurumu-san and Yukari-chan. I'm pretty sure I don't need to tell you what kind of monsters my friends and homeroom teacher are, because I revealed that to you in a few of my previous letters, which I have yet to mail. Come to think of it, I haven't mailed a single letter to you, because things have been hectic here, and I should be able to mail all those letters soon, which hopefully won't be much longer."

Tsukune continued writing, while kept speaking, "You don't need to worry about Kyō and I, because our friends have been keeping us safe. Thanks to kōchō sensei being a fair authority figure, he expelled four students that tried to murder us, before seeing to it that they were locked up, and he made sure I received proper medical treatment, while having an openminded doctor like Yutaka-sensei assigned to giving me my checkup. With the support of our friends, Kyō and I are able to have a great time, which helps us ignore the jerks that treat us poorly. Love, Tsukune."

Tsukune stopped writing, before he clicked his pen, and he sat it on his desk, while he lifted his hand off the letter. Tsukune grabbed the top of the letter, before he folded it, and he reached for an envelop, which he opened. Tsukune shoved the letter inside of the envelope, before he shut it, and then he reached for a stamp, which he used to seal the envelope. Tsukune flipped the envelope over, before he reached for the pen, and he pressed the envelope against his desk, while he grasped his pen. Tsukune clicked his pen again, before he wrote his parents' address on the envelope, which he smiled at, and he laid the envelope on his desk.

Tsukune clicked his pen yet again, before he placed it on his desk, and he got out of his chair, while he stared at his doorway. Tsukune walked towards the doorway, before he stopped at his genkan, and he reached for his brown dress shoes, which he put on. Tsukune reached for his doorknob, which he grabbed, before twisting it, and he pulled it open. Tsukune stopped, because he saw his door had been graffitied again, which had the words, "Thief", "Give us back our goddesses" and "Prick" spray painted horizontally. Tsukune raised a brow, while he muttered, "This is unexpected. Usually I'd find discriminatory words on my door, but nothing tame like this."

Tsukune exited his room, before he shut the door behind him, and he reached into his pocket, which he removed his key from. Tsukune inserted his key into the keyhole, before he turned his key, which locked the door, and then he removed his key from the keyhole. Tsukune pocketed his key, before he moved away from his door, while he walked past his peers, who glared at him, and he approached the stairs. Tsukune descended the stairs, before he arrived at the second floor, and he made a left turn, which he followed up with descending the next flight of stairs. Tsukune immediately arrived at the first floor, before he approached the front door, which he pushed open, and he set foot outside of the dormitory.

Tsukune spotted the girls' dorm, which was right next to the boys' dorm. Tsukune smiled, while he spotted Kurumu, Kyōko, Moka and Yukari exiting the girls' dorm together. The four girls noticed Tsukune, which caused them to smile, while they quickly approached him, and he too made his way over to him. With the same smiles on their faces, Yukari, Moka, Kyōko and Kurumu simultaneously greeted him, "Good morning, Tsukune-san/Tsuki/Tsukune-kun."

Tsukune kept smiling, while he greeted them back, "Good morning, Yukari-chan. Good morning, Moka-san. Good morning, Kyō. Good morning, Kurumu-san."

The girls kept smiling at Tsukune, while they walked away from the dorms. Tsukune and the girls moved past their peers, who glared at them, while a male student whispered, "It's them. The humans and the traitors."

A female student grimaced, while she replied, "I don't want be around those foul smelling apes. The sooner they get away from me, the better."

A male student clenched his fists, while he spat, "I still can't believe the humans aren't dead yet. They must have the devil's luck."

A female student sneered, while she haughtily laughed, "It never ceases to amazes me that both of them fail to realize they're being used. The humans leech off those ayashi for protection, while the humans are nothing more than food and toys for them. I'd bet an arm that witch only hangs out with them, because she wants protection from the rest of us, which those two monsters can easily grant, but a nuisance like her should just end her life. After all, no one would miss a brat like her."

Tsukune, Kyōko, Moka, Kurumu and Yukari halted, while the latter forced herself to smile.

Kurumu, Moka and Tsukune frowned, while Kyōko clenched her fists. Kyōko glared at her peers, which caused them to freeze, while Tsukune placed a hand on her shoulder, and she stared at him out of confusion. While Kyōko and Tsukune stared into each other's eyes, he shook his head, before he stopped. Then Tsukune removed his hand from his cousin's shoulder, before Kyōko redirected her attention to the pathway, which was within the grove, and the group of five resumed walking.

Tsukune, Yukari, Kurumu, Moka and Kyōko tried to ignore the harsh glares of their peers, while the main academic building came into view. Tsukune and the girls approached the exit of the grove, which they went past, before they made their way over to the gap in between the walls. Tsukune, Kyōko, Kurumu, Moka and Yukari continued with their trek, while they came closer to the building in front of them, before they stopped in front of the double doors. Tsukune grabbed the door, which he opened, while the girls smiled at him, and they walked into the building. Tsukune followed the girls inside, while he released the door, which shut, and the group of five noticed the students going out of their way to avoid them.

Tsukune, Yukari, Moka, Kurumu and Kyōko frowned, while they tried to ignore them. As the students continued walking, Kyōko, split off from the group, while she turned left, and she began ascending the stairs. Tsukune, Yukari, Moka and Kurumu kept moving in the hallway, while the witch split off from the group. While Yukari entered her homeroom, Tsukune, Moka and Kurumu entered their homeroom, which was right across the room the genius entered. Tsukune, Kurumu and Moka noticed Shizuka was nowhere in sight, while approached their respective desks, which they proceeded to sit in.

Moka, Tsukune and Kurumu waited, while their classmates entered the classroom, before they too sat down. Once the seats in the classroom were mostly taken, and two of of them were vacant, while one of them had belonged to Saizou. Shizuka eventually entered the classroom, before she slid the door shut, while her students get out of their desks, and they stood up straight. While the students kept their eyes forward, Shizuka smiled, and she approached her desk, which she stopped right beside. Shizuka turned to face her students, before she cheerfully greeted her students, "Good morning, everyone."

In a professional manner, the students greeted her back, "Good morning, Nekonome-sensei."

Shizuka kept smiling, while she reached for a clipboard, which she had her attention on, and she called out, "Akashiya Moka?"

With a smile on her face, Moka replied, "Present."

Shizuka continued smiling, while she called out, "Aono Tsukune?"

A majority of the students grimaced at his name, while they glared at Tsukune, before redirecting their attention to Shizuka, who sighed, and the human answered, "Here."

With a small smile forming on her face, Shizuka continued with the roll call. Tsukune, Moka and Kurumu waited, while Shizuka eventually called out, "Kurono Kurumu?"

With a smile on her face, Kurumu responded, "Here."

Shizuka kept smiling, while she kept the roll call going, and more students answered, before she called out, "Shirayuki Mizore?"

When Shizuka heard no reply, she frowned, while she looked at her students, and she sighed, "Shirayuki-chan is absent again. I'll have to deliver her schoolwork to her."

The students listened, while Shizuka resumed with roll call, which she eventually finished, and she spoke, "Alright class. Be prepared to take notes, because we're going to be covering the ranking system of monsters."

The students returned to their desks, before they pulled out their papers and pens. The students waited, while Shizuka spoke, "As some of you know, there are six official ranking for monsters. To start off, the rankings consist of E, D, C, B, A and S, which has E class being the weakest rank, while the strongest rank is S class. Despite the fact humans fall into no official ranking, they are unofficially ranked as F class, because they have no unique abilities, and they're somewhat weaker than even the most feeble of monsters."

A majority of the students sniggered, which made Tsukune feel uncomfortable, while Moka and Kurumu glared at their classmates. Shizuka cleared her throat, which stopped her students' sniggering, while she glared in a stern at her students, and she resumed with her lesson, "Despite humans being physically weaker than ayashi, they are just as intelligent, which has been demonstrated by their history of winning various conflicts, and the inventions they have crafted."

Most of the students murmured to each other, while Kurumu and Moka smiled at Tsukune, which made him feel somewhat better. Shizuka cleared her throat again, which caused her students to stop murmuring, while she gave them an annoyed expression, and she continued with the lesson, "Within the feeble E class are kasa-obake, rokurokubi, noppera-bō and additional monsters, which are barely stronger than humans. D class consists of monsters that are somewhat stronger than the previous class, and the Onimodoki is the most notable example within this class, because it has the ability to disguise itself as powerful monsters, while being unable to replicate their abilities. There's also C class, which includes mermaids, mermen, lamias and other monsters. Next is B class, which consists of gorgons, krakens and additional monsters."

Shizuka continued with her lesson, while her students listened and wrote. In a professional tone, Shizuka continued speaking, "Then there's A class, which includes Frankenstein monsters, sirens, witches, yasha, yuki-onnas, yuki-otokos, zombies and other monsters. This rank also includes the highest order of succubi and incubi, which only a few members of their species are capable of using illusions as proof of being the elites of their kind."

A majority of the classmates glanced at Kurumu, which annoyed her, while she did her best to ignore them, and Shizuka resumed with the lesson, "Last but not least is the legendary S class, which consist of kishin, phoenixes, werewolves, ghouls, vampires and additional monsters. There are rumors that some vampires are so powerful, they can replace the sun with a red moon, while turning the sky red, which might be an illusion created by their overwhelming power, and there might be some truth to these rumors."

The class then glanced at Moka, which confused her, but she tried to ignore the stares, while Shizuka continued, "Despite the fact there is a ranking system, some monsters are more powerful than the average member of their species, which means there are monsters that are beyond S class, and that includes the three Dark Lords."

The students froze at the mention of the Dark Lords, while Shizuka resumed speaking, "As some of you might already know, the director is one of the three Dark Lords. The other two are Tōhō Fuhai, who has ties to the Huang family, and the last of the Dark Lords is Akasha Bloodriver."

At the mere mention of the only female member of the Dark Lords, Moka froze, while Tsukune froze at hearing his teacher mention the Huang family, and they drowned out the rest of what their teacher was saying. Moka frowned, while she thought, 'Kaasan?'

With a frown also on his face, Tsukune too thought, 'Those guys again?'

Shizuka continued with the lesson, while the minutes passed, before the bell eventually rang, and the students stopped writing. Shizuka smiled, while she spoke, "That's it for today, class. Be sure to study, and I'll see you tomorrow."

The students got out of their desks, before they exited the classroom, while Kurumu, Moka and Tsukune prepared to leave the classroom. In a professional tone, Shizuka questioned them, "Akashiya-chan. Aono-kun. Kurono-chan. Can the three of you spare me a bit of your time?"

Tsukune, Moka and Kurumu stopped, while they stared at Shizuka, who they nodded at. Shizuka smiled, while she uttered, "Excellent. I wanted to let you know that if anyone's harassing you, I'm more than willing to step in on your behalves."

Tsukune, Kurumu and Moka nodded again, before the former replied, "Understood. Thank you, Nekonome-sensei."

With the same smile her face, Shizuka continued, "Ah, good. You're welcome. By the way, I can tell you were feeling upset in class, because I saw the mockery of your classmates bothered you, and I noticed your peers' stares made you feel uncomfortable. As your sensei, I can't stand to see you three in such a negative state."

Moka, Kurumu and Tsukue smiled, while Shizuka resumed speaking, "I also noticed you froze in class, which concerns me. Was there something sensitive about todays' subject?"

Moka and Tsukune frowned, while Kurumu gave Shizuka a puzzled expression. With the same frown on her face, Moka explained, "When the the last of the Dark Lords was brought up, I felt a sense of nostalgia and warmth, because I know her."

Tsukune and Kurumu curiously stared at Moka, while Shizuka listened. Moka took a deep breath, before she resumed speaking, "Akasha Bloodriver is my kaasan."

Kurumu and Tsukune stared in shock, while they simultaneously raised their voices, "What?! Your kaasan is one of the three Dark Lords?"

With a frown forming on her face, Shizuka commented, "That does explain how you ended up in the care of the director, and how you're able to emit so much power too."

Moka tilted her head in confusion, while she questioned her teacher, "Huh? What do you mean I emit so much power? Is my true form as a vampire stronger than I anticipated?"

While Shizuka continued frowning, she answered, "Whenever your monster form was revealed, the sky would turn red, and a red moon would replace the sun, which was immediately followed by a swarm of bats that would surround you."

Moka's eyes widened, while she remarked, "That explains a lot. I never even realized I possessed such overwhelming power."

Shizuka nodded, while she commented, "I see. It's not uncommon for ayashi like you to be unaware of your untapped potential. With enough time, you'll reach new heights of power."

Moka frowned, while Shizuka turned to Tsukune, who she questioned, "Aono-kun, is there a reason you froze up during today's subject?"

Tsukune frowned, while he replied, "I know about the Huang family, because Kyō and I met them when we were little."

Kurumu, Moka and Shizuka frowned, while they listened to Tsukune continue speaking, "It was during the Yōkai-Human War, which you know had orphaned Kyō, and we had been abducted by some criminals, because they saw us as easy targets to profit off of. The Haung family stepped in, before they used their supernatural abilities to kill the criminal faction, which stunned Kyō and I. The Haung family made sure Kyō and I were returned home to my parents, which we're grateful for. Because they saved our lives, I feel like I owe them a huge debt, which I have yet to repay, but I intend to return the favor someday."

Kurumu and Moka covered their mouths in shock, while Shizuka felt uncomfortable. Without moving their hands away from their faces, Moka and Kurumu muttered, "Tsukune-san/Tsukune-kun?"

With the same frown on her face, Shizuka uttered, "I had no idea you and your cousin went through such a horrific event together. Dealing with a war is bad enough, but sadly, heinous individuals tend to take advantage of the chaos, which is the harsh reality of depraved individuals, especially those seeking to exploit others."

Tsukune frowned, while he replied, "I know. I don't intend for Kyō and I to go through that ordeal again."

Kurumu and Moka removed their hands from their mouths, while they thought, 'Tsukune-kun/Tsukue-san, I'll protect you and Kyōko-senpai.'

*Nearly one-hundred and eighty-five minutes later*

Within the cafeteria, Kurumu, Kyōko, Moka, Tsukune and Yukari sat at a table, while they were eating curry. After Tsukune and the girls finished chewing their food, they swallowed it, while Kyōko noticed her friends seemed uncomfortable. Kyōko also noticed Tsukune too wasn't feeling comfortable, which caused her to frown, while she nudged him, and he turned his attention to her. Tsukue made eye contact with Kyōko, who questioned him, "Is there something wrong, Tsuki?"

Tsukune frowned, while he answered, "It's nothing, Kyō. Just something you don't need to worry about."

Kyōko narrowed her eyes, while she replied, "I know you're lying to me. Tell me what's bothering you."

Tsukune kept frowning, while he sighed, "Can we please drop it?"

With a pout forming on her face, Kyōko responded, "Oooh! Sometimes you just can't appreciate me trying to be nice."

Tsukune titled his head in confusion, before Kyōko and him directed their attention to their ayashi friends. Tsukune continued frowning, while he questioned them, "Are you guys feeling alright?"

Kurumu, Moka and Yukari frowned, while the former answered, "For the past couple of days, I think someone has been stalking me."

Kyōko and Tsukune stared at Moka wide eyed, while they simultaneously spoke, "What?"

Yukari nervously stared at her friends, while she stated, "I've been dealing with a similar problem, which is some weirdo taking photos of me, while he hasn't bothered to get my permission, and it makes my skin crawl."

Tsukune and Kyōko looked at Yukari out of concern, while Kurumu said, "Now that you mention it, somebody has been following me all over campus."

Tsukune directed his attention to Kurumu, while he remarked, "That's horrible."

With her eyes narrowing, Kyōko uttered, "The nerve of some people. It's hard for decent people to relax, because some creeps ruin things for them."

Moka kept frowning, while she commented, "I know. It might be best for us to report them to the staff, because they'll take legal action against them."

Tsukune smiled a bit, while he responded, "That's a good idea, Moka-san. If we give them evidence of their abhorrent actions, kōchō sensei could either expel them, or he might just have them spend time in detention, which should show them their creepy behavior will not go unpunished."

With a smile forming on her face, Kyōko remarked, "That could work, but we need to catch these creeps in the act."

Yukari frowned, while she replied, "True, but we need more than eyewitness testimonies, because physical evidence is more a more effective method of getting someone declared guilty, which isn't easy. Because some of the staff don't like us, they might turn a blind eye to our plight. The only ones we can turn to are Nekomome-sensei, Kagome-sensei and kōchō sensei."

Kyōko and Taukune immediately frowned, while he sighed, "Figures. That's going to be problematic."

Kyōko continued frowning, while she questioned her cousin and their friends, "Do any of you guys have a plan to gather evidence to convict these stalkers?"

Kurumu, Moka, Tsukune and Yukari shook their heads, while Kyōko sighed, "I see. I guess we'll have to bide our time, while making sure things don't get out of hand with those creeps."

Yukari, Tsukune, Moka, Kyōko and Kurumu kept frowning, while the latter realized something. With a grin forming on her face, Kurumu spoke, "I just came up with an idea."

Yukari, Tsukune, Moka and Kyōko turned to stare at Kurumu, who looked at her human friends, while the succubus continued, "While Moka, Yukari and I carry out our usual activities, you two could use a camera catch them redhanded, before delivering the evidence to the proper authority figure."

Kyōko, Moka, Tsukune and Yukari blinked, while they stared at Kurumu. With a dumbfounded expression forming on her face, Moka commented, "That's not a bad idea, Kurumu-san."

A grin formed on Yukari's face, while the witch uttered, "I second that motion."

Kyōko started smiling, while she remarked, "I agree. This plan is foolproof."

Tsukune too began smiling, while he stated, "Indeed, Kyō."

Kyō smiled at Tsukune, who glanced at Kurumu, while he uttered, "After our classes end for the day, we can get started with carrying out your idea, Kurumu-san."

Kurumu grinned, while Tsukune continued, "You're smarter than people give you credit for. In tricky situations like this, we really can depend on you."

Kurumu blushed, while she placed both of her hands on her. With a smile on her face, Kurumu closed her eyes, while she shook her body, and her breasts bounced. While Kurumu kept shaking her body, she fawned, "Oh, Tsukune-kun. You're so gentlemanly. You even know how to compliment a lady."

Yukari frowned, while she snarked at Kurumu, "It seems like you're more than a bimbo that uses her boobs to get what she wants."

Kurumu stopped shaking her body, before she opened her eyes, while she removed her hands from her eyes, and she clenched her fists. Kurumu turned to glare at Yukari, who she snarled at, "Take that back, Ms. flat chest."

Yukari pouted, while she responded, "Make me, mammoth tits."

Kurumu kept glaring at Yukari, while the succubus quickly lunged at the witch, which caused the genius to yelp, and they fell onto the floor. Moka nervously laughed, while Kyōko shook her head. With a frown on his face, Tsukune watched Kurumu pulling on Yukari's cheeks, while the witch pulled on the succubus' hair, and the human thought, 'The plan should work, if Kurumu-san and Yukari-chan can avoid fighting each other.'

*Three hours later*

Outside of the boys' dorm, Tsukune was carrying a pink waste bin, which was shaped like a yellow eyed lizard, and there was a sticker on the front that had the kanji for "burnable trash" written on it. With a frown on his face, Tsukune muttered, "I can't believe those stalkers were no-shows. While Kurumu-san was purchasing vanilla extract, vanilla essence, baking powder and a bottle of liquor to bake some sweets for me, Kyō was prepared to use a camera on her stalker, before they became impatient enough to give up for the day. With my group, things weren't so different. While Yukari-chan was carrying av equipment, Moka-san was accompanying her, and she helped Yukari-chan out by carrying a stack of paperwork, which should have made it seem like they were too preoccupied to notice the creeps. I too was prepared to use a camera, while the stalkers didn't show up to creep Moka-san and Yukari-chan out."

Tsukune continued walking, while he kept muttering, "Kurumu-san's idea is great, but it seems like her idea will take longer than I thought for it to be accomplished. As some westerners would say, Rome wasn't built in a day."

Tsukune approached an incinerator, while he noticed three male students standing in front of it, before they too noticed him, and they also started glaring at him. The boy on Tsukune's left was tall, while sporting a slim build, fair skin, brown eyes and short, shaggy brown hair. When it came to the rest of his appearance, he wore glasses, in addition to the standard Yōkai Academy male uniform, but he lacked the standard teal shirt. He wore a pink coat, which the kanji for "Yukari is my life" on the back. The boy to Tsukune's right was somewhat short, while having a pudgy build.

When it came to the rest of his appearance, he had short dirty blonde hair, brown eyes and fair skin. As for his clothing, he too adorned the standard Yōkai Academy male uniform, but he also lacked the teal shirt, while he too wore a pink coat in place of. On the back of his coat, there was the kanji for "Kurumu is my life". The boy in the middle was somewhat tall, while he had a somewhat average build, in addition to having short orange hair, fair skin and brown eyes. When it came to his clothing, he also wore the standard Yōkai Academy male uniform, and he too lacked the teal shirt, while he also wore a pink coat.

On the back of his coat were kanji, which could be read as "Moka is my life." The three boys began making their way over to Tsukune, whose frown grew, while he thought, 'Oh, come on! Today hasn't been much of a good day for Kyō, our friends and I, so these jerks had better not do anything to tick them off.'

Tsukune stopped, while he made eye contact with the trio, who he questioned, "Can I help you?"

The boy in the middle continued glaring at Tsukune, while he and his associate halted, before the student in the middle answered, "I'm Kasahara Kozo, and I'm the president of the Moka fan club."

Tsukune kept his attention on the group, while the student to Kozo's left introduced himself, "My name is Taira Bosaburo. As for my occupation, I'm the president of the Kurumu fan club."

While Tsukune continued listening, the student to Kozo's right introduced himself, "I'm known as Nagai Kubasaki, and I just so happen to be the president of the Yukari fan club."

Tsukune kept frowning, while Kazo stated, "We're here, because you've been causing problems for us, which ends here and now."

Tsukune raised a brow, before he commented, "No offense, but I have something important I have to tend to. As you can see, I have this garbage to incinerate. I bid you a good day."

Tsukune resumed walking, while he got closer to Kozo, Bosaburo and Kubasaki, before he got past them. Tsukune stopped, while he felt a pressure on his shoulder, and he turned to see Kozo had his hand on his shoulder, which concerns him. While Tsukune tried to maintain his composure, he uttered, "Whatever your problem with me is, I'm sure we can talk it out."

Kozo, Bosaburo and Kubasaki narrowed their eyes, while the latter replied, "I don't think so. A thief like you won't weasel your way out of what we have in store for you."

Tsukune frowned, while Bosaburo stated, "I agree with Nagai-san. Thanks to a prick like you, they won't hang out with us."

Tsukune tilted his head in confusion, while Kozo uttered, "What Taira-san also said is true. Because you stole our goddesses from us, they won't even talk to us."

Tsukune's eyes widened, because he was hit the realization of what occurred this morning, while he stared at Kubasaki, Bosaburo and Kozo. Tsukune trembled, while he said, "It was you? You're the jerks that vandalized my door this morning?"

Kozo kept glaring at Tsukune, while he responded, "That's correct, but the information you just learned won't do you any good."

Kozo, Bosaburo and Kubasaki reached into their coat pockets, before they pulled out folding fans, while the former loosened his grip on Tsukune. Before Tsukune could react, Kubasaki, Bosaburo and Kozo began whacking him, and the human felt the stinging pain of the strikes. In an attempt to shield himself from Kubasaki, Kozo and Bosaburo, Tsukune raised his arms toward his face, while his trash bin fell onto the ground, causing garbage to spill out onto the ground. Tsukune fell onto the ground, before he curled up into a fetal position. With an angry expression on his face, Kubasaki shouted, "It's pretty pathetic to see a prick like you being forced to remain on the defensive, and this proves monsters like us are superior to humans like you."

The physical strikes on Tsukune continued, while Bosaburo furiously yelled, "A thief like you should take your punishment with some dignity."

While Tsukune kept shielding himself, Kozo lividly raised his voice, "A weakling like yourself doesn't deserve to be friends with Akashiya-san."

Tsukune froze, while he thought, 'No, that's not true. I might be weak, but I have every right to be friends with Moka-san.'

While the physical blows continued, a series of voices caught the attention of Tsukune and the three monsters, "Hey. Leave Tsuki/Tsukune-san/Tsukune-kun alone."

Kozo, Bosaburo and Kubasaki stopped whacking Tsukune, while the human had a look of surprise on his face. The three ayashi turned to see Kyōko and the women they were obsessed were standing side-by-side. Kyokō, Moka, Kurumu and Yukari glared at the three monsters, while the fanboys had looks of awe on their faces. Tsukune lowered his arms, while Bosaburo, Kozo and Kubasaki simultaneously remarked, "Our goddesses are speaking to us?"

With a smile forming on his face, Bosaburo stated, "Our prayers must have been answered."

Kubasaki too smiled, while he uttered, "This is the best day of our lives."

Like his two associates, Kozo said, "We won't waste this opportunity."

The girls kept glaring at Kubasaki, Kozo and Bosaburo, while the fanboys simultaneously raised their voices, "We live to serve you, Sendo-chan/Akashiya-chan/Kurono-chan. Your wish is my command."

Without warning, Kurumu's eyes glowed, while a series of spiders appeared out of nowhere, which began surrounding the fanboys. While Bosaburo, Kozo and Kubasaki were distracted by the girls of their obsession, the spiders crawled up the fanboys, before they began biting them. The fanboys yelped, while they tried to get the fake spiders off, and Yukari pulled out her wand, which she waved. While the pentagram on her wand glowed, Yukari chanted, "Broomsticks, broomsticks. Abracadabra."

A pair of nine broomsticks appeared out of nowhere, before they began whacking the six fanboys, which resulted in them experiencing more pain, and Tsukune thought, 'You guys?'

While Kubasaki, Bosaburo and Kozo were distracted by trying to fight off the causes of their pain, Moka rushed towards the latter, who she pushed, which sent him flying into the incinerator. With a dent forming in the incinerator, Kozo groaned, "Akashiya-chan?"

While tears leaked from his eyes, Kozo also comically whined, "Why did you attack me? What does that worthless human have that I don't?"

Moka ignored Kozo, while Bosaburo comically cried, "Kuruno-chan, please don't be angry at me. What I was doing is proof of my undying love for you."

Like Moka, Kurumu ignored her fanboy, while Kubasaki too had tears steaming out of his eyes, and he comically whined, "Sendo-chan, please stop attacking us. Aono-san left us no choice, which means he brought it on himself."

Yukari also ignored her fanboy, while she kept her attention on the fanboys. Kozo got up, while he ran away, before he ran past Kubasaki and Bosaburo. Following Kozo's example, Bosaburo and Kubasaki ran away, while they caught up to him. Moka, Kurumu and Yukari smiled in satisfaction, while Kyōko's glare at the fanboys intensified. Kyōko gnashed her teeth, while she growled, "Oh, no you don't."

Yukari, Kurumu and Moka turned to stare at Kyōko, who ran to the pile of trash, while Tsukune redirected his attention at her. Before Tsukune, Moka, Kurumu and Yukari could react, Kyōko bent over. Kyōko then scooped up a pile of trash into her arms, before she raised her back to stand up straight, and she had a plastic bottle in her right hand, which she pulled back. Kyōko stopped pulling her right arm back, before she quickly extended it, while she released the bottle, and it was sent flying in the direction of the fanboys, who had their backs turned to the group of five. While the broomsticks and fake spiders disappeared, the plastic bottle struck Kozo on the back of his head, which caused him to yelp.

Kozo stumbled, while he tripped, which concerned his associates, and they stopped running. Kubasaki and Bosaburo turned around to stare at Kozo, who clutched their back to his head in pain. While Kubasaki and Bosaburo kept their eyes on Kozo, Kyōko threw a another plastic can at the them, which hit the pudgy fanboy's stomach. Bosaburo groaned in pain, while he clutched his belly. While Kozo and Kubasaki gave Bosaburo a concerned look, a plastic bottle hit the spectacled fanboy on his neck, which was below his Adam's apple.

Kubasaki too yelped, while he clutched his neck in pain. Yukari, Kurumu and Moka dropped their jaws, while Tsukune felt proud of his cousin, who kept glaring at the fanboys. Moka, Kurumu and Yukari turned to stare at Kyōko, while the supernatural girls simultaneously uttered, "Nice shot."

Kozo, Bosaburo and Kubasaki continued clutching their bodies, while Kyōko continued glaring at the fanboys, who she snarled at, "That's for hurting Tsuki."

Kozo turned around, before Kubasaki, Bosaburo and him shifted their attention to Kyōko, who the still seeing fanboys glared at. Despite the combined intensity of Kozo, Bosaburo and Kubasaki's glares, Kyōko didn't back down, while they got into a glaring match with her. To show she wasn't messing around, Kyoko reached for another piece of trash held in place by her torso and left arm. In response to the human's threat, Kubasaki, Bosaburo and Kozo flinched, while the fanboys spun around. Kozo, Kubasaki and Bosaburo ran away, while they shouted at the same time, "This isn't over, and you haven't seen the last of us."

The fanboys continued running away, while Kyōko calmed down a bit. With a smirk on her face, Kyōko yelled, "Yeah, you better run."

As the fanboys kept running, Kurumu, Kyōko, Moka, Tsukune and Yukari watched them run into the grove, before they were out of view out. Kyōko released her grip on the trash, which fell onto the ground, before she approached Tsukune, and she extended her hand to him. Tsukune stared at Kyōko, who smiled at him, while he smiled back, and he reached for her hand, which he grasped. Kyōko pulled Tsukune back onto his feet, while Moka, Kurumu and Yukari smiled at the display. Tsukune released his cousin's hand, before he dusted himself off, while Kyōko pulled her arm back, and she questioned him, "Are you alright, Tsuki?"

Tsukune stopped dusting himself, while he answered, "I'm fine. Just a few scratches here and there. I do appreciate the save, but I'll be sure to return the favor, Kyō."

Kyōko shook her head, before she sighed, "There's no need to treat it as a favor, because I was fulfilling my sisterly duty. Anyway, I'll help you with the trash."

Tsukune too sighed, before he responded, "I don't have much of a choice right now, because you'll refuse to accept me turning down your offer."

With a smile forming on her face, Kyōko sheepishly replied, "Guilty as charged."

Tsukune reached for a couple of pieces of trash on the ground, which he picked up, while Kyōko ran off in the direction of the bottles she had thrown. Kyōko stopped, before she knelt by the bottles, which she grabbed, and then she scooped them up into her arms. Kyōko turned around, while she noticed Tsukune putting bits of trash into his waste bin. Kyōko also saw Moka, Kurumu and Yukari approaching Tsukune, before she stopped close to him. The girls started helping Tsukune by picking up the trash, before they placed into the waste bin, while Tsukune smiled at them, and Kyōko briefly had a jealous expression on her face.

Kyōko clenched her fists, while she thought, 'No fair. This was my moment to shine, and they're getting in my way of me showing Tsuki how much I appreciate him.'

Kyōko forced herself to smile, while she unclenched her fists, before she approached her cousin and their friends, who she stopped beside. Kyōko threw the bottles into the waste bin, while Tsukune, Moka, Kurumu and Yukari tossed more trash into it, before they stopped. Tsukune grabbed the lid, which he placed back on top of the waste bin, before he stood back up, and he walked over to the incinerator. Kyōko, Moka, Kurumu and Yukari followed Tsukune, before they halted in front of the machine. Tsukue then removed the lid, which he handed over to Kyōko, who held onto it, while Moka grabbed the furnace door, and she opened it.

Tsukune proceeded to tilt his waste bin into the mouth of the furnace, which poured the burnable trash into it, immediately before the trash caught fire, and he tilted his waste bin in the opposite direction of the incinerator's mouth. Tsukune held onto his waste bin, while Kyōko returned his lid to him, which he reattached to his waste bin, and he expressed his gratitude, "Thank you, Kyō and Moka-san."

With the same forced smile on her face, Kyōko stared at her cousin, while Moka beamed, and they simultaneously responded, "You're welcome, Tsuki/Tsukune-san."

Tsukune glanced at the girls, while he uttered, "Thank you, Kyō, Moka-san, Kurumu-san and Yukari-san. If you hadn't shown up, I'd probably be covered in bruises."

Kurumu and Yukari too smiled, while the four girls replied at the same time, "You're welcome, Tsukune-kun/Tsukune-san/Tsuki."

Tsukune kept smiling, while he turned around, before he began walking away, and the girls followed him. Yukari put her wand away, while she spoke, "This might might not be the best time, but that guy with the glasses is the one that has been taking photos of me."

Tsukune and the rest of the girls frowned, while Kurumu responded, "That guy is a creep. Come to think of it, the pudgy guy was the one following me on campus."

Moka felt uncomfortable, while she replied, "Distasteful. The guy in the middle might be the one that was stalking me."

Kyōko clenched her fists, while she remarked, "Revolting. Now that we know their faces, it's only a matter of time until they suffer repercussions for their actions. Now we can add assaulting Tsuki to their list of crimes."

Tsukune continued frowning, while he sighed, "Yeah, you'll do that."

Tsukune walked away from Kurumu, Kyōko, Moka and Yukari, while the witch questioned her friends, "Is something wrong with Tsukune-san?"

Moka and Kurumu glanced at each other, while the former responded, "Kurumu and I might know what's wrong with him, but it's not our place to say anything."

With the same frown on her face, Kurumu stated, "Before you guys ask, Tsukune-kun was reminded about his past, which was when he was little, and it was a traumatic experience in the war."

Kyōko's frown deepened, while she uttered, "I see. Of all the traumatic things he was reminded of, he must be referring to either the death of my parents, or the kidnapping incident we went through."

Kurumu, Moka and Yukari felt uncomfortable, while Kyōko continued, "I'd rather not talk about either incident, but I cannot ignore Tsuki being in pain. I really want to comfort him, but girls aren't allowed in the boys' dorm and vice versa. Even if we were allowed in there, he wouldn't open up so easily with all of us present in his room."

Kyōko, Moka, Kurumu and Yukari kept frowning, while the latter turned her frown upside down. With a grin forming on her face, Yukari said, "Hey, I just came up with a good idea."

Kyōko, Moka and Kurumu curiously stared at Yukari, who motioned for them to come closer, before they gathered around her. Kurumu, Moka and Kyōko listened to Yukari whisper, while smiles formed on their faces. Yukari stopped whispering, before Moka, Kurumu and Kyōko stepped away from her, while the human thought, 'That might just work.'

*Twenty minutes later*

Within his bedroom, Tsukune sat on his floor, while he rubbed the back of his head, and he muttered, "Ow. Those jerks didn't need to hit me. If I had been any stronger, I could have fought them off."

Tsukune removed his hand from the back of his head, while he frowned. Tsukune placed his hands on his knees, while he muttered, "Maybe those jerks were right. I'm a weakling, and my friends deserve better."

A knock at his window caught his attention, while Tsukune turned around. Tsukune saw Kurumu hovering outside his window, while she held Kyōko in her arms, which surprised him, and he spoke, "Kurumu-san? Kyō?"

Tsukune stood up, while he approached his window, which he opened, and Kurumu flew inside. Kurumu stopped, before she resumed with hovering in the air, while Kyōko reached for her shoes, and she removed them. Tsukune grasped her footwear, which he placed at the genkan, while leaving them bedside his own shoes, and Kurumu gently lowered Kyōko onto the floor. Kurumu kept hovering in the air, while Tsukune questioned Kyōko and her, "What are you guys doing here?"

Kurumu and Kyōko smiled, the former revealed, "I brought Kyōko-senpai here, because she has something to tell you."

Tsukune frowned, while Kurumu continued, "While you have your talk, I'll make myself scarce, before I receive the signal, and then I'll return to fetch her. Until then, have fun, you two."

Tsukune opened his mouth to voice his complaints, before Kurumu turned around, and she flew out the window, while the human muttered, "I see. I don't know what Kurumu-san is up to, but I might as well play her game."

Tsukune approached his window, which he proceeded to shut, before he turned around to see Kyōko still smiling at him, and he broke the silence, "Is there something I can help you with, Kyō?"

Kyōko approached her adopted brother, while she answered, "While I check and dress any potential wounds, I need to talk about whatever is on your mind, Tsuki."

With the same frown on his face, Tskune replied, "There isn't anything wrong. It's just an average school day for me."

Kyōko began to frown, while she responded, "Don't lie to me. I'm aware when something is bothering you, because I know you well enough."

Tsukune continued frowning, while he sighed, "There's just no point in arguing with you, because you're too stubborn to accept any refusals from me. It seems like I have no choice, and I'll tell you what's been eating me."

A smile started to form on Kyōko's face, while she commented, "Splendid. Now let me look at whatever wounds you have."

Tsukune sighed again, before he reached for the buttons on his teal shirt, which he started undoing, and Kyōko walked over to one of his cabinets. Kyōko halted, before she opened the cabinet, which she looked inside of, and she found what she was searching for. Kyōko reached into the cabinet, which she removed a medical kit from, before a he turned around, and Tsukune had finished unbuttoning his shirt. Tsukune slid his arms out of his sleeves, before he removed his teal shirt, which he neatly folded, and then he laid it beside himself. Kyōko approached Tsukune, who began unbuttoning his white undershirt, while she walked around him, before she stopped, and she sat behind him.

While Kyōko waited, Tsukune finished unbuttoning his undershirt, and five parallel scars were revealed, which were the result of Tadashi having slashed him. Tsukune pulled his arms out of his sleeves, before he removed his white undershirt, which he proceeded to fold, and he placed it on top of his shirt. Kyōko blushed, because she saw Tsukune's bare back, which had bruises on it, and she didn't pay much attention to that. Although Kyoko was more fixated on seeing her cousin's bare back for the first time in years, she tried to keep calm, while Tsukune sat down again, and he waited for his adopted sister to get to work. With the same blush on her face, Kyōko thought, 'This can't be happening. I haven't see Tsuki's bare back in years, which was when we used to bathe together. That was when we were little kids, and I'd make sure both of us came out squeaky clean. I need to calm down, and get this over with. I'm just tending to his wounds, and we're not a couple of horny teenagers.'

Kyōko opened the medical kit, while she questioned her cousin, "So, what's on your mind, Tsuki?"

Tsukune frowned, while he answered, "Just two things, Kyō. Firstly, Nekonome-sensei mentioned the Huang family, who we haven't encountered in years."

Kyōko froze, while she listened to her cousin, "Secondly, those jerks from earlier said something that made me question if they're even right."

With a frown forming on her face, Kyōko replied, "Let's start with the first topic."

*Elsewhere at the academy*

From behind some nearby bushes, Moka, Kurumu and Yukari had headphones on their heads, while they had a device laid out in front of them. Yukari adjusted the volume, while Kurumu, Moka and her had the boys' dorm in their sights. With a smile on her face, Kurumu remarked, "This is perfect, Yukari-chan. With this device of yours, we can eavesdrop on Tsukune-kun and Kyōko-senpai, while she has that wire on her."

Yukari grinned, while she responded, "Indeed. Now let's be silent, so we can hear them, desu."

Kurumu nodded, while Moka, Yukari and her listened to Tsukune state, "It all started when Moka-san, Kurumu-san and our classmates were taking notes on our lesson, which covered all sorts of monsters, including the three Dark Lords. When she mentioned the second of the three Dark Lords, she also brought up the Huang family, which caused me to freeze up, and I still remember them saving our lives."

Yukari raised a brow, while Moka, Kurumu and her heard Kyōko reply, "I know. When we were little kids, some awful crooks kidnapped us, before they intended to sell us on the black market, but I'm grateful the Huang family stepped in by slaughtering those monsters."

Yukari froze, while she thought, 'Tsukune-san and Kyōko-senpai were victims of an abduction?'

Yukari, adjusted the volume, before Moka, Kurumu and her listened to Kyōko continue speaking, "When the Huang family demonstrated their use of martial arts, swordsmanship, firearms and summoning capabilities, the criminals never stood a chance, before the Chinese gangsters made sure we were brought back home to your parents. Because those mobsters protected us, we avoided being separated by a human trafficking ring, which showed us not all Ayashi are monstrous beings, and I'm so happy to be alive."

Yukari, Kurumu and Moka frowned, while they heard Tsukune respond, "Indeed, and I'm never going to forget their kindness."

Moka, Kurumu and Yukari smiled, while they listened to Kyōko reply, "Me too. Since a reunion with them might take a while, we could move onto what the jerks at school said to you."

While Yukari, Moka and Kurum kept listening in on the conversation, Tsukune sighed, "Very well. You remember those creeps that attacked me today?"

Kurumu, Moka and Yukari frowned, while Kyōko answered, "Yeah, I remember those jerks, and I can't stand them."

Moka, Yukari and Kurumu continued frowning, while Tsukune responded, "Good, and what they said relates to my lesson with Nekonome-sensei. When she mentioned that humans were too weak to be lumped into the monster ranking system, most of my classmates sniggered at me, but it didn't stop Moka-san, Kurumu-san and Nekonome-sensei from standing up for me."

Kurumu, Moka and Yukari beamed at Tsukune's words, while he resumed speaking, "After my classes ended for the day, the creep that was stalking Moka-san said a weakling like me had no right to be friends with her."

Moka, Kurumu and Yukari froze, while the former thought, 'He said what to Tsukune-san?'

Kurumu clenched her fists, while she thought, 'Jerk. Tsukune-kun has every right to be friends with Moka-san.'

With a scowl forming on her face, Yukari thought, 'I really hate that prick. He has no business telling Tsukune-san that he can't be friends with our darling Moka-san.'

Yukari, Kurumu and Moka kept listening, while Tsukune continued, "Maybe he's right. If I wasn't weak, I wouldn't need to be defended by my friends from a group of monsters. Moka-san deserves someone stronger as a friend, because I'll end up failing to protect her."

Kurumu, Moka and Yukari froze again, while the latter thought, 'Tsukune-san doesn't really mean that.'

With a frown on her face, Kurumu thought, 'Tsukune-kun, please don't let that creep get into your head.'

Moka too frowned, while she thought, 'He's wrong, because you'd never let me down, Tsukune-san.'

While Moka, Kurumu and Yukari continued listening, they heard Tsukune yelp, "Ow! Why did you slap the back of my head, Kyō?"

The witch and ayashi raised a couple of brows, while they heard Kyōko scold their friend, "You big dummy. How could you dare doubt yourself like that? The Tsuki I know would never give. If he was dealing with some trouble, he'd find a way to persevere. If you cut ties with Moka-kōhai, she would be devastated."

The vampire, succubus and witch listened to the conversation, while Tsukune uttered, "Kyō?"

Moka, Kurumu and Yukari kept eavesdropping, while they heard Kyō say in a softer tone, "You don't need to feel alone, because you have me, Tsuki. Not just me, but our friends too. No matter the situation, Moka-kōhai, Kurumu-kōhai and Yukari-chan will always have your back, because you're precious to them. Please don't lose sight of the ones that care about you."

Kurumu, Yukari and Moka kept eavesdropping, while Tsukune replied, "You're right. I shouldn't let what that jerkwad said get to me, and I won't abandon Moka-san. I feel a bit better now. Thanks, Kyō."

While the witch and ayashi eavesdropped on the conversation, Kyo responded, "You're welcome, Tsuki."

While the witch, vampire and succubus kept eavesdropping on the conversation, a smile formed on the latter, while the light ocean blue haired girl thought, 'Yahoo! You go, girl.'

With a grin forming on her face, Yukari thought, 'Kyōko-senpai sure is amazing. She definitely knows how to cheer her cousin up.'

Moka beamed, while she thought, 'I'm glad Tsukune-kun has a cousin that will never give up him. I wish I could have this kind of bond with Akua-nee and Kahlua-nee.'

Moka, Kurumu and Yukari continued eavesdropping on the conversation, while they heard Kyōko state, "Anyway, now that I finished checking out your wounds, you're go-"

The vampire, succubus and witch heard their friends yelp, which was followed up by the sound of a thud. Moka, Yukari and Kurumu gazed at the device, while the former questioned the situation, "What's going on in there?"

*Back to Tsukune*

Within his room, Tsukune had his knees and hands pressed against the floorboard, while he was above Kyōko, who was on her back. Tsukune's face was beet red, while Kyōko's face was red as a tomato, because their faces were inches apart, and their eyes were wide as saucers. Kyōko and Tsukune were unable to avert their gazes, while he stared at her aqua eyes, which were locked onto his brown eyes. Tsukune and Kyōko felt their heartbeats speed up, while he nervously gulped. With the cousins in an awkward position, the older human thought, 'Tsuki and me are in a rather suggestive position. Don't panic, and everything will turn out okay. You and Tsuki aren't going to fool around, especially since this is the result of an accident.'

Tsukune froze, while he thought, 'This can't be happening. I shouldn't try anything with Kyō, because she's family. Even if we did something naughty together, I doubt kaasan and otousan would approve of us behaving like a couple of sex addicts.'

Kyōko and Tsukune continued blushing, while they opened their mouths. Before Tsukune and Kyōko could get a single word out, they heard a knock at the window, which directed their attention away from each other. The humans saw Kurumu hovering in the air, while she was carrying Moka in her arms, and the succubus had Yukari clinging to her back, which made her seem like a backpack. Kurumu and Moka gave the humans suspicious looks, while Yukari a big smile on her face, in addition to a bit of blood trickling out of her nose. The blushes on the cousins' faces became brighter and larger, while the younger human quickly got off the older human, before he ran over to the window.

Tsukune opened the window, before Kurumu entered his room, while she was still carrying Moka and Yukari. Moka started removing her shoes, which Tsukune helped her with, while Kyōko approached her friends, and Yukari began removing her shoes. Kyōko halted, before she helped Yukari with her shoes, while Tsukune brought her shoes over to the genkan, and he laid them next to his shoes. When Kyōko finished helping removing Yukari's shoes, the older human brought her shoes over to the genkan, where she laid them next to her own pair of shoes, and Kurumu started removing her shoes, which Tsukune helped her with. Kyōko returned to her friends, before she sat down, while Tsukune returned to the genkan, and he laid the succubus' shoes right next to the vampire's shoes.

Tsukune walked back to his friends and cousin, before he sat next to his adopted sister, while Yukari released he grip on Kurumu, and the witch dropped to the floor. Kurumu released Moka, whose feet touched the floor, while Yukari sat down. Moka too sat on the floor, while Kurumu's feet made contact with the floor, and the wings of the wings of the succubus retracted into her back, before the purple eyed girl sat down. The witch, succubus and vampire stared at their humans friends, who still had blushes on their faces. Tsukune nervously gulped, before he somewhat calmly stated, "Before you jump to any conclusions, it's not what it looks like."

Kurumu and Moka raised a couple of brows, while Kyōko uttered, "It was an accident. I swear."

Moka and Kurumu glanced at one another, while Yukari still had blood trickling out of her nose. Kurumu and Moka redirected their attention to their human friends, while the succubus replied, "Start talking."

Kyōko and Tsukune kept their eyes forward, while he spoke, "When Kyō had finished checking out and dressing my cuts, she walked away from me, before she tripped, and I sprung into action.I quickly grabbed onto Kyō, before I too tripped, and she landed on her back, while I landed just above her."

Moka, Kurumu and Yukari raised a couple of brows, while the vampire questioned her human friends, "Are you sure?"

Tsukune nodded, while Kyōko answered, "Yes. It's the truth, Moka-kōhai."

Moka and Kurumu frowned, while Yukari sighed, "Aww drat! I got excited over nothing. I thought you were getting freaky with each other, and I was prepared to root for you two."

Tsukune and Kyōko blushed even more, while Moka gave Yukari an annoyed glance. Kurumu too glance at Yukari out of annoyance, before the succubus stated, "Since we know what happened wasn't intentional, it's best we just left, Tsukune-kun. We don't want to inconvenience you, and you shouldn't get in trouble for allowing girls to come into your dorm room."

Tsukune frowned, while he responded, "Fair enough."

Kyōko, Moka, Kurumu and Yukari got up, before they walked over to the genkan, where the picked up their respective pair of shoes. The human, vampire, succubus and witch walked over to the window, which they halted in front of. Tsukune stood back up, while Kurumu climbed onto the window sill, which she sat on, and she slid her shoes back on. Kurumu turned around, while her wings shot out of her back, and she stood up, before she jumped out of the window. Kurumu flew in the air, while she returned to the window, which she hovered outside of, and Moka climbed onto the window sill.

Moka proceeded to put on her shoes, while Kurumu extended her arms, before the vampire moved closer to the succubus, who grasped the pink haired girl, and the purple eyed girl carried her away from the window. Kyōko, Yukari and Tsukune watched Kurumu disappear from view with Moka, while the former climbed onto the window sill, before she slid her shoes on. Kurumu then returned, before she grabbed Kyōko, who she carried away from the window, while Tsukune and Yukari watched them disappear from their view. Then Yukari climbed onto the window sill, before she put her shoes on. Kurumu returned, while Yukari beamed. With a smile also forming on Kurumu's face, the succubus stated, "By the way, you have a nice body, Tsukune-kun. If you want, I could show you what's under my shirt."

Tsukune's blush became brighter, while Kurumu winked at him, which annoyed Yukari, who pulled out her wand, and she waved it. While the wand glowed, a washtub landed on top of Kurumu's head, which caused the succubus to yelp, and she plummeted. Tsukune winced, while he quickly ran over to his window, before he looked outside, and he saw Kurumu flapping her wings. While Kurumu hovered in the air, she covered the top of her head, which she gently massaged, and she glared at Yukari, who glared back. Tsukune shook his head, while Kurumu flew back close to his window, and she grabbed ahold of Yukari, before the succubus pulled the witch away from the window sill.

Kurumu flew away with Yukari, while Tsukune shut his window, and he sighed, before he remarked, "I hope tomorrow isn't as hectic."

*Nearly twenty-four hours later*

Outside of the main building, Yukari held her wand in the air, while a pair of brooms swept the ground, and she smiled. With a smile on her face, Yukari sang, "Sweeping up, sweeping up, sweeping up. It's so fun to be sweeping up, sweeping up, sweeping up. Oh, it's so much f-"

Yukari paused, while she spotted Tsukune, who was carrying a brown bag, and he had a serious expression on his face, which caused her to tilt her head in confusion. While Yukari kept watching Tsukune, she began thinking, 'Tsukune-san? Where's he going?'

Yukari put her wand away, before the broomsticks disappeared, and she rushed towards the building, while she thought, 'I need to tell the others about this.'

Yukari opened the door, before she ran inside the building, while she ran past some of her peers, who gave her dirty looks, but she ignored them. Yukari saw the staircase, which she descended, before she made a left turn, and she made another left turn. Yukari ran alongside the railing, before she made yet another left turn. Yukari turned left once more, before she descended another staircase, and she arrived at the third floor, which she ran on. Yukari saw a door, which she stopped in front of, before she opened it, and she ran up yet another flight of stairs.

Yukari halted at the top, before she opened another door, which revealed the rooftop, and she quickly exited the building. Yukari saw Kyōko, Moka and Kurumu smiling, while they laughed. Yukari ran over to the trio, who noticed her, while she stopped, before she panted, and she stated, "I'm glad you guys didn't bother to leave this spot."

Kurumu and Kyōko frowned, while Moka placed a hand on her chest. With a concerned expression on her face, Moka questioned her friend, "Yukari-chan? What's wrong?"

Yukari kept panting, while she answered, "While I was sweeping, I saw Tsukune-san walking away with a bag. It appears he's leaving campus, and he had a serious look on his face."

Moka gripped her shirt, while she questioned Yukari, "Wait? Tsukune-san had a bag with him?"

Yukari nodded her head, while Kurumu interjected, "What? There's no way Tsukune-kun can be thinking of leaving, especially since it won't be easy to transfer to another school. That and him dropping out could sour human-monster relations even more."

Yukari and Moka felt the color from their faces drain, while Kyōko spoke up, "You guys aren't thinking thinking this through."

Moka, Kurumu and Kyōko turned to stare at Kyōko, who continued, "If Tsuki was intending on leaving this school, then he wouldn't leave me behind. For all we know, that bag of his could be full of mail, which he probably intends to have delivered to our home, and he'll most likely be back within a dozen minutes."

Moka, Kurumu and Yukari smiled a bit, while the succubus replied, "You're right, Kyōko-senpai. My destined one is most likely carrying out an errand. I sure feel silly."

Kyōko too smiled, while Yukari, Kurumu and Moka resumed laughing. Kyōko too started laughing, which went went on for dozens of seconds, before her friends and her stopped laughing. The faces of the human, vampire, succubus and witch turned pale, while the former uttered, "Oh crap! Tsuki's all alone, which means he could be in danger."

*Meanwhile with Tsukune*

While he walked in the grove, Tsukune carried his bag, which had slung over his shoulder, and he ignored the bats flying above him. Tsukune frowned, while he continued walking for more than a few minutes. Tsukune eventually saw the exit up ahead, which put him at ease, and he exited the grove, before he saw the large body of red water. Tsukune moved alongside the cliff, while he saw the scarecrow in the distance, and he approached it, before he stopped right beside it. Tsukune noticed the nearby tunnel, before he sighed in relief, "Oh, thank goodness. I was able to arrive here without getting into any incidents."

"That's what you think," a voice emitted, while Tsukune turned to see Kozo, Bosaburo and Kubasaki stepping into view, before Kozo continued speaking, "Since you're not on school grounds, it's fair game for what we're about to do to you."

Tsukune frowned, while Bosaburo angrily stated, "That's right. We've had it with you and your thievery."

Tsukune narrowed his eyes, while Kubasaki lividly uttered, "It's about time we put an end to this. Prepare to die."

Kozo slid an umbrella over the upper half of his body, before an slit formed on the umbrella, and the slit opened to reveal a blue eye, while a pair of lips also formed on him. While a tongue stuck out, Kozo yelled, "Umbrella."

Kubasaki stretched just neck, which became long and snakelike, while he raised his voice, "Necktie."

Bosaburo's belly stretch, which caused his buttons to pop off, while his shirt was undone, and his belly was revealed. Bosaburo's eyes and mouth disappeared, which made him look like a faceless being, while he shouted, "Blob."

With their monster forms revealed, the ayashi glared at Tsukune, who wasn't intimidated by them, while he dropped his jaw, and he said, "Hold on. I'm dealing with a kasa-obake, rokurokubi and noppera-bō?"

Kubasaki, Bosaburo and Kozo kept glaring at Tsukune, who calmly continued, "Now I feel a bit at ease, because I now know you're a couple of E ranked monsters, which shouldn't pose a problem, and you're barely stronger than me."

Kozo narrowed his eye, while he growled, "What? Even you're dissing us now?"

Tsukune immediately frowned, while he responded, "No. I'm just relieved the pain I'll receive will be light in comparison to what I've endured, and my friends should have no issue with defeating you."

Kozo narrowed his eye, while he replied, "No, it definitely sounds like you're dissing us. I know we're not very strong, but's that's no excuse to look down on us."

With the same frown on his face, Tsukune clenched his fists, while he narrowed his eyes, and Kubasaki interjected, "Indeed. It's not fair that the chicks go for the cool, flashy, powerful monsters, and it's insulting that someone weaker than us managed to win over three goddesses, who you have no right to casually mention."

Tsukune clenched his fists tighter, while he listened to Bosaburo speak up, "We can't help that we look pretty dorky in both our human and monster forms. It's about time you were driven out of this academy."

Tsukune glanced at his surroundings, while Kozo bent over, before he pointed his umbrella like body at the human, and the kasa-obake opened up his umbrella-like body. Before Tsukune could react, Kozo spun his parasol like body, which got water onto Tsukune, and he was lifted off the ground. Tsukune flew backwards, while he screamed, and he released his bag, which landed on the ground. Tsukune landed on his butt, which caused him to groan, before Kubasaki wrapped his neck around his and waist and right leg. Kubasaki glared at Tsukune, who struggled, while the human felt the rokurokubi tighten around him, which caused his muscles to tighten, and he felt pressure on his bones too.

While Kubasaki constricted Tsukune, he struggled, and Kozo returned to him, before he halted. Kozo slammed his right foot on Tsukune's left shin, which caused the human to yell, while the kasa-obake put pressure on his shin, and the human kept struggling against his attackers. Kubasaki unwrapped himself from Tsukune, before Kozo lifted his foot off his shin, which confused the human, and Bosaburo stopped in front of him. Before Tsukune could get back on his feet, Bosaburo grabbed his arms, and he proceeded to lift him into the air, while Tsukune continued struggling. Tsukune slammed his fists against the arms of the noppera-bō, which didn't faze him, and he moved his legs closer to his belly, which he made physical contact with.

Tsukune felt squeamish, while he felt his legs going inside the belly of Bosaburo, which shocked and horrified the human. Tsukune froze, while he thought, 'This can't be the end for me. I know I'm not immortal, but I cannot afford to get digested by an ayashi. Kaasan. Otousan. Kyō. Moka-san. Kurumu-san. Yukari-chan. Thank you for all that you've done for me. I don't know how, but I'll make it out of this alive.'

Tsukune felt Bosaburo release his arms, before he glanced at his surroundings, and the human spotted a sharp rock, which he reached for. Tsukune grasped the rock, before he grabbed onto the shoulder of Bosaburo, and he swung his body forward, while he plunged the rock into the face of the noppera-bō, who screamed in pain. Bosaburo spat Tsukune out, while he was coated in saliva-like liquid, which caused the human to shudder, and he landed onto the ground. Tsukune got back onto his feet, while Kozo and Kubasaki glared at him. While blood trickled down his face, Bosaburo too glared at Tsukune, who stood his ground.

The kasa-obake, rokurokubi and noppera-bō clenched their fists, while the former spat, "You just don't know when to quit. Instead of accepting your inevitable death, you continue to resist. If you hadn't arrived at the academy, our goddesses would have paid attention to us."

Tsukune furrowed a brow, while he responded, "You just don't get it. It's not your looks and lack of power that prevents you from getting any girls. It's your negative personalities and your tendency to stalk others that is holding you back."

The fanboys continued clenching their fists, while Tsukune continued, "Attacking me also makes the situation worse, because it results in Moka-san, Kurumu-san and Yukari-chan becoming livid at you three. If you want girls to like you, then be nice."

Kozo narrowed his eye, while he replied, "What a load of crap. That whole nice guy routine doesn't work, because nice guys finish last."

Tsukune's jaw dropped, while he thought, 'What?'

Kubasaki kept glared at Tsukune, while the fanboy spoke, "Kasahara-san is correct. The chicks tend to go for tough guys, and we're a couple of wimps."

Tsukune froze, Bosaburo butted in, "Nagai-san is also right. What you're suggesting is an impossible way to score, which means you're just trying to weasel your way out of your punishment again."

Tsukune was still frozen, while he kept thinking, 'They're serious? There's just no reasoning with these creeps.'

Kubisaki and Kozo approached Tsukune, before they surrounded him from both sides, while Bosaburo stood in front of him. Tsukune held onto the stone, while he muttered, "With the fate of millions hanging over my head, there's no way I'm dying here."

As soon as the fanboys took a single step, a famine voice caught their attention, "You jerks again? Leave Tsuki alone."

The boys looked up into the air, where they saw Kyōko, who was being carried by Kurumu, while Moka and Yukari held onto the succubus. While Kurumu struggled to stay afloat, the succubus flapped her wings, which the fanboys didn't notice, and they simultaneously raised their voices, "My goddess has returned to grace me with her presence."

Tsukune was awestruck, while he uttered, "Kyō? Moka-san? Kurumu-san? Yukari-chan? You guys came?"

Kurumu strained, while she questioned her friends, "Remind me why I have to carry you three."

Yukari frowned, while she apologized, "Sorry. I don't remember the spells to help Moka-san, Kyōko-senpai and I fly, nor do I have access to a magic broomstick for the purpose of flight."

Kyōko also frowned, while she she responded, "It's fine, Yukari-chan. Until then, we have a lesson to teach."

Moka nodded, before she replied, "Agreed. I'm fine with being dropped off here, because Tsukune-san is right there."

Kurumu smiled a bit, while she responded, "Alright then. Time to face the music."

Moka released Kurumu, before the vampire fell, and the green eyed girl landed on the ground, which caused dust to fly around her. Kurumu got closer to the ground, before Yukari let go of her, and the witch too landed on the ground, while more dust was blown as a result of the impact. Kurumu released Kyōko, who landed on the ground, while less dust was blown across the ground. Kurumu soared in the air, while she made a u-turn, before she quickly flew over to her friends, and she halted above them. Kurumu hovered in the air, while she descended, before her feet touched the ground, and she glared at the fanboys, who didn't notice her expression.

The fanboys had lovestruck expressions on their faces, while Kurumu directed her attention to Tsukune, and her eye softened, before she stated, "I'm glad you're still in one piece, Tsukune-kun."

The fanboys' lovestruck expressions turned into shock, while Yukari chimed in, "Indeed. Now that we're here, you have nothing to worry about."

Tsukune smiled a bit, while Moka nodded, before she too smiled, and she uttered, "Tsukune-san, please let us show those creeps the ramifications of their actions."

With a smile forming on her face, Kyōko interjected, "While Yukari-chan, Kurumu-kōhai and Moka-kōhai keep those jerks busy, I'll protect you as your last line of defense."

Tsukune backed away, while the eyes of the fanboys narrowed. Without glancing at Tsukune, Kozo uttered, "Oh, you're not getting away that easy. I don't care if you're being protected by a woman, because my colleagues and I will still destroy you, Aono."

Tsukune continued backing away, while Bosaburo growled, "Agreed. It's not fair. They're paying more attention to him again, while we're being ignored."

Tsukune halted, while Kubisaki snarled, "Indeed. This injustice won't go unpunished."

The fanboys turned to face Tsukune, while Kyōko picked up a stone, before she ran past the fanboys, and she stopped in front of her cousin. While Kyōko stood in between her cousin and the fanboys, she turned around, before glaring at the stalkers. The fanboys took a couple of steps forward, while Moka, Kurumu and Yukari ran past them, before the girls halted right of them. While Yukari, Kurumu and Moka stood their ground, the fanboys stared in shock, before their eyes lit up. With a couple of lovestruck expressions forming on their faces, the fanboys simultaneously stated, "My goddess has decided to give me her attention. Whatever you wish for, shall became a reality."

Kyōko grimaced, while Tsukune, Moka, Kurumu and Yukari dropped their jaws. With the eyes of Tsukune and his ayashi friends widened, he thought, 'These guys are hopeless.'

Moka, Kurumu and Yukari closed their mouths, before the witch pulled out her wand. Before Yukari could wave her wand, Kubisaki moved his neck towards her, while he drooled, and he uttered, "Sendo-chan, my love… I'm going to wrap myself so tight around you, while I feel your petite body. You're like a ripe fruit, and I want a taste."

Yukari shuddered, before she broke formation, while she ran away, and Kubisaki followed her. With a creeped out expression adorning her face, Yukari squeaked, "Gross. Get away from me."

Moka and Kurumu frowned, while they ran away from each other, before the succubus stopped in front of Bosaburo, who she punched. Kurumu felt her fist get stuck in the noppera-bō's belly, which felt sticky. With a disgusted look on her face, Kurumu shuddered, while she pulled her fist out of his gut, and he spoke, "Kurono-chan, my love for you is enormous. How about you and I gaze lovingly at each other?"

Kurumu grimaced, while she answered, "Ugh! What exactly am I supposed to be looking at? Your lack of a face?"

Kurumu glanced at Moka, who stepped away, while the vampire continued frowning. Kozo spun his torso, which caused liquid to fly off his body, while it landed near Moka, who froze, and he stated, "Oh, Akashiya-chan. It doesn't matter how hard the rain falls, nor does the fierceness of the sun's rays, because I will be your umbrella of love, which will protect your lovely, alabaster skin."

With a fearful expression on her face, Moka covered her mouth, while she stepped back, and she replied, "No thank you. I already have an umbrella."

Bits of water landed on Moka's hands, which caused electricity to emit from the wet part of her body, while she yelped, and Kozo stopped to stare in shock. Bosaburo, Kubisaki, Kurumu and Yukari turned to stare in shock at Moka, while the Aono cousins too stared at the vampire. With a shocked expression on her face, Kyōko questioned the situation, "What the heck?! What's wrong with Moka-kōhai?"

Tsukune also had a shocked expression on his face, while he thought, 'The water is harmful to Moka? Maybe it's holy water, which I heard is harmful to vampires.'

With a frown forming on his face, Tsukune clenched his fists, while his eyes narrowed, and he continued thinking, 'That isn't good. I have to end this right here and now.'

Tsukune took a single step, before he raised his voice, "Hey, you three!"

Kozo, Bosaburo and Kubisaki turned to face Tsukune, while the fanboys simultaneously responded, "Hm?"

Tsukune stood his ground, while he uttered, "You claim you're members of fan clubs, but you are nothing more than creepy stalkers. In other words, you're pathetic."

The fanboys stared in shock, while Yukari, Kurumu and Moka had worried expressions on their faces. With a worried expression also on her face, Kyōko questioned her cousin, "Tsuki, what are you doing?"

Kozo narrowed his eye, while he uttered, "Wait? You're calling us pathetic, despite the fact you're a human? Not only that, you're also calling us ugly, no-good, disgusting, perverted monster trash?"

Tsukune, Kyōko, Moka, Kurumu and Yukari dropped their jaws, while the the older human thought, 'These creeps are really stupid.'

In a dumbfounded tone, Tsukune responded, "I… didn't even say that last part."

Kozo glared at Tsukune, while the fanboy replied with a question, "You think that, right?"

Tsukune paused, while Kozo continued, "Well, you won't have to look at us for much longer, because my colleagues and I are gonna destroy you."

Kozo, Bosaburo and Kubisaki ran away from the girls, while the fanboys simultaneously raised their voices, "Now it's time for the Fan Club Coalition's super, secret, angry, amalgam attack."

Kozo leapt into the air, while he spun above Bosaburo, who stepped onto Kubisaki's neck, which the spectacled male raised, and the kasa-obake landed atop the head of the pudgy fanboy. While Kozo stood on top of the noppera-bō, Kubisaki and his colleagues yelled at the same time, "Amalgam."

The three fanboys were immediately engulfed in a white light, which expanded, while Yukari, Kurumu, Moka, Kyōko and Tsukune stared in shock. While the light died down, Tsukune and girls saw the combined form of the fanboys, which caused Tsukune to utter, "What the heck! Holy crap!"

The combined monster was huge, while having a pudgy build, in addition to having a single eye and a pair of lips on his face. On his stomach was a mouth, which opened to reveal some teeth. There was also a large umbrella protruding from his back, while a tail stuck out of his tailbone. Atop his head was brown hair, which was spiky. When it came to his clothing, he only wore a pink coat.

The amalgamation of a monster glared Tsukune, while the ayashi spoke, "Not so pathetic now, are we? The only pathetic thing around here is you, thieving prick. Compared to us, you're tiny."

Tsukune nervously gulped, while the ayashi directed its attention to Kyōko, who the monster addressed, "Stand aside."

Kyōko also had a shocked expression on her face, while her legs trembled, which Tsukune noticed, and he grasped her shoulder. Tsukune shook his cousin's shoulder, before she was brought back to reality. Kyōko narrowed her eyes, while she answered, "Forget it, jerkwad. I won't abandon, Tsuki."

The monster narrowed his eye, while he responded, "I see. I'd rather not hit a girl, but seems like you're not giving me much of a choice."

The ayashi pulled his right arm back, before he swung it at Tsukune and Kyōko, who ducked. The amalgamation missed, while he growled, "Stand still."

The monster took a few steps forward, while Kyōko and Tsukune got up, before they began running away. The monster pursued Tsukune, which created heavy footfalls, while Kyōko stayed right behind her cousin. Moka, Kurumu and Yukari stared in shock, before their looks were filled with horror, while they rushed over to their human friends. Moka and Yukari ran beside their friends, while Kurumu flew over to Tsukune, who she grabbed, before she took to the sky. The amalgamation stopped, while he stated, "Don't think for a moment you're safe up there, because I can still reach you."

The ayashi stretched his neck, while he brought his face closer to Tsukune and Kurumu, which surprised them. Kurumu quickly dove out of the way, while Tsukune held onto her, which annoyed the amalgamation, and he kept stretching his neck in an attempt to pursue his target. Kurumu and Tsukune remained in the air, while the amalgamation of a monster pursued them, and he couldn't catch them, which was annoying him. While the yōkai was distracted, Yukari waved her wand, which glowed, and winged tarot cards appeared out of nowhere. The cards levitated in the air, while they darted towards the amalgamation, and the tarot cards sliced the monster, which drew blood.

The amalgamation howled in pain, while blood trickled down his skin, and he swung his neck, which caused the blood to fly in various directions. Moka and Kyōko clutched their chests in relief, while Kurumu kept Tsukune out of harms way. The amalgamation flailed his arms, while he stomped too close to Kyōko and Moka, which horrified Tsukune. Without hesitation, Tsukune ordered his friend, "Kurumu-san, let me down."

Kurumu had a shocked expression on her face, while she answered, "Are you crazy, Tsukune-kun? That amalgamation could squash you like a bug."

Tsukune frowned, while he replied, "I know this seems like a bad idea, but you're going to have to trust me. After you put me down, go for the amalgamation's eye."

Kurumu frowned, while she responded, "Okay."

Kurumu dove closer to her friends, before she dropped Tsukune right next to Moka and Kyöko. Kurumu flew remained airborne, while she extended her claws, and she flew towards to the amalgamation, before she slashed his eye. The amalgamation screamed in pain, while he clutched his eye, and he clumsily stumbled, which resulted in loud footfalls. Tsukune turned towards Moka, who he addressed, "Moka-san, when I jump away from the amalgamation, I need you to tip him with your vampire strength."

Moka tilted her head, while she answered, "Are you sure, Tsukune-san? What are you planning?"

With a frown forming on his face, Tsukune replied, "There's no time to explain, so you're going to have to trust me. When I jump, it will become clear."

Moka nodded, while she responded, "Alright."

Tsukune rushed away from the girls, while he had the cliff in his sights, and he stopped close to the edge, before he turned around. Tsukune stood his ground, while he shouted, "I'm over here. Come get me, you overgrown freak."

The amalgamation removed his hands from his eye, which had a bit of blood trickling from it, while he narrowed his eye, and he growled, "Die, Aono."

The amalgamation turned to face Tsukune, before the ayashi rushed over to him, while Tsukune didn't move from the spot, and the monster raised his arm. Kyōko, Moka, Yukari and Kurumu stared in shock, while they simultaneously shouted, "Tsuki/Tsukune-san/Tsukune-kun."

The ayashi brought his hand down, before Tsukune jumped out of the way, which caused the yōkai to miss, and the amalgamation stumbled. The amalgamation stopped right at the cliff's edge, before he tried to maintain his balance, while Moka ran at him, and she pushed with all of her might. The amalgamation tumbled over the cliff, while he screamed, before he hit the water, and a stream of water shot into the air. Tsukune got back up, while he stared down at the amalgamation, who glowed, before he split back into Kozo, Bosaburo and Kubisaki. The fanboys groaned, while Tsukune sighed in relief, before he turned to see Kyōko and Yukari running in his direction.

Kurumu descended, before she landed in front of Tsukune, while Yukari and Kyōko halted in front of him. Moka walked for a bit, before she stopped right beside Kyōko, Kurumu and Yukari. With a smile forming on his face, Tsukune uttered, "Hey guys, looks like it worked."

Kyōko clenched her fists, while she raised her voice, "You big dummy."

Kyōko approached Tsukune, who closed his eyes, while he braced himself for whatever punishment his cousin had in store for him, but he didn't feel any physical blows, which confused him. Tsukune opened his eyes, while he noticed Kyōko hugging him. While she smiled, Kyōko stated, "I'm just glad you're okay."

Tsukune smiled again, while Moka, Kurumu and Yukari too smiled. Yukari ran around Tsukune, before she halted, and she jumped, before clinging to his back. Tsukune stumbled forward, while Kyōko moved backwards, but they didn't fall over, which relieved the Aono cousins. Moka and Kurumu clenched their fists, while they simultaneously raised their voices, "Hey."

Without hesitation, Kurumu and Moka closed the gap between Tsukune. While Moka held onto Tsukune's left arm, Kurumu wrapped her arms around his right. With glares forming on their faces, Moka and Kurumu glared at each other, while Yukari pouted. Yukari also glared at Kurumu, who directed her glared at the witch, while Tsukune and Kyōko sighed. Tsukune blushed, while he thought, 'Maybe this isn't so bad, and I could get used to this.'

The sound of a horn blared, which caught the attention of Kurumu, Kyōko, Moka, Tsukune and Yukari turned their heads to the tunnel, where the bus came out of it. Feeling embarrassed, the girls blushed, while they quickly separated from Tsukune, who still had a blush on his face. The bus came to a halt, while Tsukune ran to get his bag, which he picked up, and then he ran over to the bus. The bus doors opened, before revealing the mustached bus driver, which surprised Kyōko and Tsukune. The bus driver puffed on his cigar, while he said, "I see you and your cousin are still alive, which is good. It seems you have some mail for me to deliver."

Tsukune nodded, while he answered, "Yep. Can you deliver these letters to my parents?"

The bus driver kept puffing on his cigar, while he replied, "Consider it done, kid."

Tsukune stepped into the bus, before he sat the bag on a seat, and he noticed a couple of metallic briefcases, which he narrowed his eyes at. The bus driver smirked, while he spoke, "By the way, the contents of those briefcases are for you and your cousin."

Tsukune perked at what the bus driver said, while he grasped the handles of the briefcases, before he picked both of them up, and then he exited the bus. The bus driver kept smirking, while he continued, "Before I leave, I have a bit of info to share with you, which is Tenmei plans to have a payphone installed in the campus store, and you can use it to speak more freely with your folks. The next bit of information is that I will no longer be stopping by monthly, because my schedule for arrival is going to become daily."

Tsukune and the girls' eyes widened, while they simultaneously shouted, "What?!"

The bus driver chuckled, while he shut the bus doors, before he drove off, and the bus went back into the tunnels. Tsukune, Kyōko, Moka, Kurumu and Yukari stared at the tunnels, before they redirected their attention to the briefcases, while the vampire uttered, "I wonder what's inside."

Kurumu placed a finger on her chin, while she responded, "Maybe they're full of military rations."

Yukari beamed, while she chirped, "They're probably filled with inventions."

Kyōko tapped her chin, while she spoke up, "That or weapons."

With a frown on his face, Tsukune replied, "We won't know for certain, unless we open them."

Yukari, Kurumu, Moka and Kyōko nodded, before Tsukune handed a briefcase to his cousin. Kyōko and Tsukune sat their briefcases on the ground, before the undid the fastenings, which opened their respective briefcases. The contents were revealed, which turned out to be Glocks, handgun magazines, combat knives, tactical vests, grenades, tasers and cans of mace. The ayashi had bewildered expressions on their faces, while the Aono cousins smiled. Kyōko started to grin, while she remarked, "I sure hope someone picks up that phone, because I called it."

From the top of the nearby ledge, a group of sharply dressed yōkai looked at the scene, while they stayed behind the trees, and one of the ayashi stated, "The director is going to need to be notified about what Kasahara-san, Taira-san and Nagai-san were attempting to do, especially since there's no doubt their petty actions are going to result in their expulsion."

A/N: This was by far my least favorite chapter to write, because it's an adaptation of a filler episode, and I don't care much for filler, which tend to be less exciting than adaptations of the canon source material. I have made some adjustments to the harem, which now has fourteen girls. Like last time, I'll list them alphabetically.
