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.

6. Chapter 6 - School Clubs

Disclaimer: I don't own Rosario + Vampire. If I did, Kurumu and Mizore wouldn't have gotten screwed over.

A:N: This took a while to write, but it was worth it. This chapter will be a treat to read, especially if you like seeing others in swimsuits. Anyway, it's time to answer some reviews.

InsaneMakaioshin - 1) Yes, I did name an OC after a Persona 5 villain. 2) I'm not sure I follow, because I don't remember succubi being listed as G class monsters. 3) True, but the cute were minor enough to treat alone. 4) An excellent point, and I should fix that mistake. 5) Uh, cousin incest is legal in Japan, so I don't understand why some individuals can't bring themselves to overlook that.

6) An excellent question, which will be answered in this chapter. 7) True, but that's not going to stop Mikogami and Nurari from coming up with a series of strategies to make the Aono family seem trustworthy to both worlds.

Temporal King - Indeed, and that's unfortunate to read. Luckily for you, I came up with an idea to make this chapter feel less like filler. Yup, and it sucks to be them. True, and I have have been sparing with Inner Moka, because I want to come up with more creative ways to defeat some monsters of the week, but I can't deny Inner Moka will be needed to fight other S class monsters. Yep, and their use of weapons will go hand-in-hand with their friend's supernatural abilities, which could make for good combinations, while their enemies are distracted long enough by a couple of humans.

Indeed, and I have a solution for supernatural defenses, which will appear later on, because it's too early introduce the supernatural defenses. You have a good point, because some monsters are immune to electricity, while monsters without nostrils, eyes and mouths would be unaffected by mace. Yup. Again, that question will be answered in this chapter. That is funny, and it might make for a humorous omake.

Yep, and they aren't so weak anymore. You're welcome. The concept of 'not blood siblings' isn't a Japanese thing. About how Tsukune's parents will feel about their son marrying their niece, I won't answer that here, because I don't want to give away spoilers, but you can ask that question in a private message. It's possible the yōkai world has solution to dealing with inbreeding, which is probably through supernatural means.

I know what you mean, but time will tell. Indeed. The confusion is to be expected. True, and no comment. Again, not responding to potential harem candidates, but I won't deny Mizore's mother was married in only the anime.

Yes, we do see Mizore's father in the anime. Thank you very much, and your words motivate me to keep writing. I see, and you should rest assured that this story is going strong. I will, and thank you.

*Yōkai Academy, 05/05/2006, 8:35 AM*

Within a classroom, Shizuka was covering a lesson, while she pointed at the board, and she held a notepad in her left hand. Shizuka kept her eyes on her students, while she continued with the lesson. Tsukue didn't hear her, because he wasn't paying attention. Tsukune had a gun holster on his right hip, in addition to a sheath for his knife on his left hip, and his chest had a bandolier around it, while grenades were attached to the bandolier. Around his waist was another belt, which was a utility belt.

Tsukune had his eyes closed, while he muttered, "Oh, Moka-san."

*Tsukune's subconscious*

On a soccer field, Tsukune was wearing a white and blue striped soccer uniform, in addition to black firm ground cleats. Tsukune was running, while kicking the ball. Tsukune was being chased by boys that wore dark blue and light blue soccer uniforms, who also wore black firm ground cleats. Tsukune kept the ball away from them, while girls from the nearby stands cheered, and he got closer to the goal, which was guarded by a goalie. Tsukune kept running, while he uttered, "Here it goes. I'm going to dedicate this shot to you, Moka-san."

Tsukune continued running across the field, while he kicked the ball, which flew at the goal, and the goalie attempted to block it. The goalie missed, while the ball hit the net, which resulted in a horn blaring, and Tsukune cheered, "Yes. I won."

Tsukune's teammates gathered around him, while some patted him on his back, in addition to a few giving him a couple of thumbs up, and the remainder grinning at him. Tsukune spotted Moka, who wore her usual uniform. Moka smiled, while she walked away, which caused him to smile back, and threw human said, "Excuse me for a moment."

Tsukune stepped away from his teammates, who had confused expressions on thrice faces, while Tsukune followed Moka, and they walked away from the field. Tsukune and Moka continued their stroll, while they approached a tree, which they halted under. Moka turned around, before she established eye contact with Tsukune, while she and him continued smiling at each other. Moka brought her hands close to her chest, while she questioned Tsukune, "Are you sure you're really okay with this?"

Tsukune stepped forward, while he confidently answered, "Yes."

Moka latched onto Tsukune, while she responded, "Oh, I'm so happy."

Tsukune kept staring at Moka, while he uttered, "Moka-san."

Moka stared back at Tsukune, while she replied, "Tsukune-san."

Moka and Tsukune felt their heart rates increase, while he grasped her waist, before they closed their eyes. Tsukune and Moka leaned closer, while their mouths opened. The human and vampire locked lips, which felt good, while they held each other without a care in the world.

*Back to reality*

Tsukune still had his eyes closed, while he smiled. Like Tsukune, Moka didn't hear a word spoken by Shizuka, while the vampire too had her eyes closed, in addition to her mind being elsewhere, and the green eyed girl muttered, "Oh, Tsukune-san."

*Within Moka's subconscious*

From atop a balcony, Moka overlooked stood close to railing, while a fountain and hedge maze were made visible by the light of the full moon. In her right hand, Moka held a wine glass that was filled with blood, while she adorned a black silk dress, and a pair of black high heels. With a bored expression on her face, Moka leaned on the balcony, while she ignored the gusts in the manor, and she sighed, "None of these men know how to properly treat a lady, and the ones that bothered to converse with me just want to bed me."

"Perhaps they don't truly appreciate a blossoming flower like you," a voice from behind caught Moka's attention, while she turned around to see Tsukune, who wore a black suit, red tie, white undershirt and black dress shoes, which made him look dashing. With a smile on his face, Tsukune continued, "You're quite the beauty, Moka-san."

Moka had a surprised look on her face, while she questioned him, "Tsukune-san? Why are you here? Why aren't you mingling with the guests?"

Tsukune kept smiling, while he answered, "Why would I care about socializing with those snobs, when I could spend my evening with a gentle soul like yourself?"

Moka smiled, while she brought her cup close to her mouth, before she gulped down all of the blood, and then she proceeded to sat her empty wine glass on a nearby table. Tsukune extended his right hand to Moka, while he asked her, "May I have this dance?"

Moka continued smiling, while she answered, "Yes, you may."

Moka grasped Tsukune's hand, while he led her towards the stairs, which they descended, and they set foot in the courtyard. Moka and Tsukune halted, before he turned to face her. Tsukune held onto Moka's left hand, while he moved his left hand onto her back, and she put her right hand on his back. Underneath the moonlight, Tsukune and Moka began dancing, while they spun. With smiles on their faces, the vampire and human stared into each other's eyes, while they kept their fingers intertwined.

Moka and Tsukune continued spinning, before they removed their hands from their backs, while they stepped back a bit. They extended their arms, while their hands were still intertwined, and they closed the gap again, before placing their hands on their backs again. Tsukune and Moka continued spinning, while they held onto one another. Tsukune bent forward, while Moka pushed her back, and she raised her left leg, which she pointed upwards. The human and vampire stared into each other's eyes, while they felt their heartbeats speed up.

With their grip maintained on one another, Moka and Tsukune leaned forward, while they closed their eyes. Tsukune and Moka opened their mouths, before they locked lips. The vampire and human felt the sensation of their kiss, which they didn't wish to end, while they felt like time slowed down for them.

*Back to the real world*

Moka also smiled, while she too still had her stew closed. Just like Moka and Tsukune, Kurumu also had her eyes closed, while she also didn't hear what Shizuka said. Without a care in the world, Kurumu muttered, "Oh, Tsukune-kun."

*Inside of Kurumu's subconscious*

Within the kitchen of a moderate house, Kurumu set some roast into an oven, and on her left ring finger was a silver ring, which sparkled. When it came to her attire, Kurumu wore only a pink apron, which left most of her skin visible, and she hummed. Kurumu heard the front door open, which caused her to smile, while she exited the kitchen, and she set foot in the living room. Kurumu saw Tsukune standing at the genkan, while his attire consisted of a white dress shirt, blue tie, black slacks black socks and brown dress shoes. On his left ring finger was an identical wedding ring, which sparkled like Kurumu's own ring.

With a smile forming on his face, Tsukune smiled addressed his wife, "I'm home, Kurumu-chan."

Kurumu kept smiling, while she greeted her husband back, "Welcome back, Tsukune-kun."

Tsukune removed his brown dress shoes, which he left at the genkan, while he slid a pair of house slippers on, and then he approached Kurumu, who also walked towards him. Kurumu and Tsukune halted in front of each other, before he placed his hands to her bare back, while she placed her hands on the back of his neck. Tsukune and Kurumu opened their mouths, while they closed their eyes. While the human and succubus embraced each other, they locked lips, which they enjoyed the sensation of. Kurumu and Tsukune stayed that position for a bit longer, before they disconnected their lips, while they opened their eyes.

Tsukune and Kurumu released each other, while she questioned him, "How was your day at work?"

Tsukune kept smiling, while he answered, "The office work was mundane, but seeing you makes the stress worth it."

With the same smile on her face, Kurumu responded, "Oh, you're so sweet."

Tsukune smiled, while Kurumu placed her hands on her face, before she closed her eyes, and she shook her hips. Tsukune continued smiling, while Kurumu stopped, and she opened her eyes, before she leaned closer to her husband. In a seductive tone, Kurumu asked him, "Since you're home, do you want dinner, a bath or me?"

With a smirk forming on his face, Tsukune got closer to his wife, before he surprised her by grabbing her, and then he scooped her up into his arms. Kurumu let out a giggle, while Tsukune carried her bridal style, and he walked into the dining room, before he stopped. While Tsukune still smirked, he replied, "I would prefer all three… in that order, Kurumu-chan?"

Kurumu giggled, while she responded, "Oh, Tsukune-kun, you're such a stud muffin."

*Back to reality*

Kurumu too smiled, while she also ignored what Shizuka was saying. Tsukune, Moka and Kurumu continued daydreaming, while Shizuka pulled out her whistle, which she blew. Kurumu, Moka and Tsukune shot up, while their eyes opened, before they immediately raised their voices at the same time, "I wasn't sleeping."

The human, vampire and succubus realized their situation, while their classmates sniggered, which caused the trio to blush in embarrassment. Shizuka removed her whistle from her mouth, while her students stopped sniggering. With a frown forming on her face, Shizuka addressed Tsukune, Moka and Kurumu, "It seems like you three had a good nap. If I was strict, I would have given you detention, but I'm a sweet teacher, which means I'm letting you three off the hook."

Kurumu, Moka and Tsukune sighed, before Shizuka continued, "Because this day is special, you have an extra reason to avoid punishment, because you're given the day off from any classes today, and it's time to join an after school club."

The students perked up, while Shizuka addressed her entire class, "Since this academy was built to teach monsters how to coexist with humans, joining clubs is one of the many ways to adapt to human society, which are mandatory to passing both Yōkai Academy and some human schools. Through your participation in these clubs, you'll learn how to avoid upsetting humans, whether or not you're in your monster forms. You'll also learn to appreciate arts the humans have developed, while deepening your understanding of the various human cultures, which are spread across Asia, Europe, Africa, Oceania, South America and North America."

The students nodded, before Shizuka questioned, "Now then, does anyone have any questions?"

A student raised his hand, before he answered with a question, "Nekonome-sensei, for our own safety, shouldn't we be worried about the humans having received weapons? Because they are allowed to bring them to class, what's to stop them from potentially deciding to attack us? How did they even acquire these weapons?

Several students nodded, before most of the students turned to glare at Tsukune, who felt uncomfortable. Moka and Kurumu glared back at most of their peers, while Shizuka uttered, "That's enough, class. I know you're alarmed at Aono-kun and his cousin being allowed to carry weapons around on campus, but it's for their protection, because a few students tried to murder them. As a result of the attempted murders, seven students were expelled from the academy. As for how they received the weapons, they are gifts from the Japanese government, but the delivery of the weapons took longer than necessary, which can be blamed on bureaucratic red tape."

The students frowned, while Shizuka continued, "They won't use their weapons, unless you attack them. Now please don't try to warrant getting shot at, stabbed, tased, maced, or blown up. Anyway, have fun with finding a club to join. Dismissed."

Most of the students got out of their seats, while they exited the classroom. Moka, Kurumu and Tsukune too exited their classroom, while they spotted Yukari, who eagerly approached them, before she halted in front of them. With a grin on her face, Yukari spoke, "I'm so excited to a join a club. Have you decided on what clubs you want to join?"

Tsukune smiled, while he answered, "I'm thinking about soccer, which I could do well at."

Moka, Kurumu and Yukari smiled, while the former replied, "That's wonderful, but I haven't put much thought into which club I want to join."

Kurumu nodded, while she responded, "Same here. There's probably so many clubs, I won't have any idea which one I should join."

Yukari kept smiling, while she chirped, "Indeed. We might as well go check them out."

Tsukune, Moka and Kurumu nodded, before they walked in the hallway, while Yukari followed them. The human, vampire, succubus and witch spotted Kyōko descending the stairs, while she too noticed them, which caused the older human to smile. Like Tsukune, Kyōko too had a handgun holster on her right hip, in addition to a knife sheath also being on her left hip. Kyōko also wore a utility belt around her waist, in addition to a bandolier, which was around her chest, and there were grenades attached to her bandolier. Kyōko quickly set foot on the ground floor, before she approached Tsukune, Moka, Kurumu and Yukari, while they halted.

Kyōko stopped in front of her cousin and their friends, before she spoke, "I'm sure excited for school clubs too, but there's so many clubs to pick out."

Tsukune and his friends smiled, while he replied, "Indeed. We could find a club that all of us could join, which will allow us to stick together."

Moka beamed, while she commented, "That's a wonderful idea, Tsukune-san."

With a grin forming on her face, Kurumu interjected, "I second that motion."

Yukari also grinned, while she chirped, "I agree."

Kyōko kept smiling, while she responded, "Then it's settled. Let's go find a club that all of us can join."

Tsukune nodded his head, before he resumed walking, while Kyōko, Moka, Kurumu and Yukari followed him. The humans, vampire, succubus and witch continued their walk, while they exited the building, before they noticed booths outside. On the booths were the kanji for Photography Club, Chemistry Club, Acupuncture Club and Mummy Club, which the group of five had varying opinions of, but none of them decided to join. Tsukune, Kyōko, Moka, Kurumu and Yukari stared in awe, while students were gathered around the booths, which had banners on them. Kurumu, Kyōko, Moka, Tsukune and Yukari kept moving, while they spotted a soccer field, which caught the male human's eye.

Yukari, Tsukune, Moka, Kyōko and Kurumu approached the field, while they saw a monster behind a nearby booth, which had the kanji for Soccer Club painted on its banner.

The student saw the group, while he glared at them. The witch, succubus, vampire and humans halted, while the monster questioned them, "Can I help you?"

Tsukune, Kyōko and their friends frowned, while the former answered, "I was wondering if we could join the soccer club."

The monster grimaced, while he replied, "Forget it. This club doesn't need traitors and your kind in it, especially since you'd end up costing us some victories. Get lost, human scum."

Tsukune averted his gaze, while Kyōko and Kurumu clenched their fists. Moka had a hurt expression on her face, while Yukari, Kurumu and Kyōko glared at the monster behind the stand. With a frown on his face, Tsukune spoke, "Come on, guys. Let's just go."

Tsukune walked away from the soccer field, while Kyōko and their friends followed him. With a scowl on her face, Kurumu uttered, "That guy is a jerk. He has some nerve treating us like that."

Yukari nodded, while she responded, "I agree. That prick deserves to lose whatever games he has planned."

Moka frowned, while she replied, "I know he was rude, but that doesn't make it right to wish him any ill will."

With her fists still clenched, Kyōko responded, "You really are a kind soul, Moka-kōhai, but that prick deserves to reap what he sows."

Moka frowned, but she didn't say a word. Tsukune frowned, while he, his cousin and their friends walked past a crowd of students, who glared them. Tsukune, Moka, Kurumu, Yukari and Kyōko ignored the hateful stares, while they spotted three booths, which caught their eyes. On the Booths' banners were the kanji for Moka Fan Club, Kurumu Fan Club and Yukari Fan Club, which caused the group to shudder. With a grimace on his face, Tsukune remarked, "I know we need to join a club, but we're not that desperate."

Yukari, Kurumu and Moka nodded, before the latter replied, "Agreed. Not even if they were the last clubs on earth."

Kurumu frowned, while she interjected, "I second that motion. Even if they offered me a billion yen, there's no way I'd join their fan club."

With a frown also on her face, Yukari uttered, "Indeed. Despite their presidents having been expelled, these three clubs haven't been shut down, which is baffling, and I'm not sure I want to even know."

With a look of disdain on her face, Kyōko commented, "The less said about those fan clubs, the better."

Tsukune, Moka, Kurumu and Yukari nodded, before they continued their walk with Kyōko. Tsukune, Kyōko, Moka, Kurumu and Yukari kept moving, while they spotted another booth, which had the kanji for Karate Club painted on it. The witch, succubus, vampire and humans halted in front of it, while a few monsters in gis were standing near some bricks, which a few of them shattered with their bare hands. Kyōko, Tsukune, Moka, Kurumu and Yukari stared in awe, while a few of the monsters spotted them, before they glared at the group. In an annoyed tone, a yōkai questioned them, "What do you want?"

Kyōko, Tsukune and their friends frowned, while the older human answered, "We want to know if you're looking for new members."

The gi clad ayashi glared at the mixed group, while the yōkai at front snarled, "Yeah, we're looking for new members, but we don't need human trash and traitors in our club. That and weaklings aren't welcome in our club."

The humans, vampire, succubus and witch felt disappointed, while they started turned around, before a voice caught their attention, "What's going on?"

Tsukune, Yukari, Moka, Kyōko and Yukari stopped, while they saw another gi clad monster come into view. He had grey spiky hair and light eyes, in addition to broad shoulders. He was tall, while his weight was within healthy parameters. He was 18-years-old, and he had a serious expression on his face. The tall ayashi scanned his surroundings, while the other gi clad monsters gasped, "Vice captain."

The gi clad monsters bowed, while Tsukune, Kyōko, Yukari, Kurumu and Moka frowned. The vice captain approached the humans, witch, succubus and vampire, before he halted in front of them, while he gazed at them. With a serious expression on his face, the vice captain introduced himself, "My name is Miyamoto Haiji, and I'm the Vice President aka Vice Captain of the Karate Club. I believe introductions are in order."

Tsukune, Kyōko and their friends nodded, while he replied, "Like many of the students, you already know Kyō and I, so I'll skip our introductions. The pinkette is Akashiya Moka."

Moka smiled a bit, while she greeted Haiji, "Hello."

Haiji nodded, while Tsukune resumed speaking, "The light ocean blue haired girl is Kurono Kurumu."

With a small smile on her face, Kurumu addressed Haiji, "What's up?"

Haiji nodded again, while Tsukune stated, "Last but not least is the witch, whose name is Sendo Yukari."

Haiji turned his attention to Yukari, who grinned, while she greeted him, "Nice to meet you."

Haiji's maintained his serious expression, while he knelt in front of her, which confused Moka, Tsukune, Kurumu, Kyōko and Yukari. With a smile on his face, Haiji spoke, "You're certainly a lively one. You may not know this, but I've always had a soft spot for kids."

Yukari tilted her head in confusion, while she responded, "Thanks, I guess."

Haiji smiled, while a voice caught everyone in the area off guard, "I wouldn't get too close to the vice captain, because he's a lolicon."

Yukari immediately scowled, while Kurumu and Kyōko grimaced. Tsukune and Moka felt concerned for Yukari, who quickly got behind her friends, while Haiji muttered, "That voice."

Haiji got up, before he turned around to see Gin, who smirked at him. With a grin forming on his his face, Haiji uttered, "Gin-san."

Gin and Haiji started approaching each other, while the latter continued, "You son of a bitch."

Haiji and Gin stopped in front of each other, while they raised their right hands, which they formed into a diagonal handshake. Gin and Haiji started arm wrestling, which stunned the onlookers, while they maintained an ironclad grip. With a smirk on his face, Haiji teased, "What's the matter? The newspaper club has you publishing too many papers? Huh? Will you submit?"

Gin struggled to push Haiji's arm, while the former replied, "Nope. You shouldn't push your luck, especially with the lolis."

Gin kept struggling to push against Haiji, while the former chuckled, "Oh, alright. That's enough. You win, Haiji-san."

Gin and Haiji released their manly handshake, while the onlookers dropped their jaws. Gin and Haiji approached the group of five, before they halted, while Tsukune said, "I know you. You're the guy that saved Kyō and I from Komiya-san in the cafeteria. If I recall, you're a member of the Newspaper Club."

Haiji and Gin halted, while the latter responded, "Yeah, and I couldn't allow the war to resume."

Kyōko frowned, while she replied, "That's understandable. Since you already met Tsuki, Moka and I, we don't need to introduce ourselves. The witch is Sendo Yukari."

Gin turned his attention to Yukari, who greeted him, "It's a pleasure to meet you."

Gin nodded, before Kyōko resumed speaking, "Then there's the light ocean blue haired girl, whose name Kurono Kurumu."

Gin redirected his attention to Kurumu, while she spoke up, "Hi."

With a grin forming on his face, Gin remarked, "Just like Akashiya-kōhai, you're certainly a beautiful lady, Kurono-kōhai."

Kurumu blinked, while she responded, "Uh, thank you."

Gin kept grinning, while Haiji stated, "I'd be careful around Gin-san, because he's a pervert."

Gin frowned, while he raised his voice, "Did you really have to blurt that out, Haiji-san?"

Kurumu and Yukari immediately scowled at Gin, while Kyōko grimaced at him. Tsukune and Moka felt worried, while the former stepped in front of the girls, before Gin sighed, "Well, that went pear shaped fast."

Tsukune frowned, while he thought, 'No wonder these two guys are friends. They're deviants.'

Moka felt the tension in the air, while she broke the ice, "Since we introduced ourselves, why don't you tell us what kind of ayashi you are?"

Gin and Haiji nodded, before the former replied, "Fair enough. I'm a werewolf, and my friend here is a crow tengu."

Tsukune, Kyōko and their friends' eyes widened, while the older human thought, 'Holy crap! One's an S-class yōkai, and the other's an ayashi that I'm not sure how to classify.'

With a smile on his face, Gin resumed speaking, "Based on the rumors I heard, I know you're a vampire, Akashiya-san. I also heard Kurono-san is a succubus, which makes your group of friends seem like an unexpected one, because a lot of yōkai and humans hate each other."

With grim expressions forming on their faces, Moka, Yukari, Kurumu, Kyōko and Tsukune nodded, while the vampire responded, "That's unfortunately true, but I won't perpetuate this cycle of hatred that has resulted in the beauty of both worlds becoming tainted."

Gin nodded, while Haiji interjected, "I hate to interrupt, but I take it you came here to join the Karate Club?"

Kyōko, Tsukune and their friends nodded, while Moka replied, "Yes, but most of the members have made it clear they don't want anything to do with us."

With a frown on his face, Haiji sighed, "Somehow that doesn't surprise me. If it were left up to me, I would allow all five of you to join this club, just as long as you don't insult the art of karate."

Kyōko, Kurumu, Tsukune, Moka and Yukari perked up, while Haiji continued, "Even though I'm the vice captain, the captain aka president of the Karate Club has more authority than I do, which means he can decide who is allowed to join, and he is disdainful towards humans."

Moka frowned, while she responded, "I see. I wish you luck with your duties."

Haiji nodded, while Moka walked away. Tsukune, Kyōko, Kurumu and Yukari followed Moka, while Haiji turned his attention to his underlings, who dropped their jaws. With their eyes wide, the Karate Club members simultaneously questioned the situation, "What the hell did we just witness?"

With a serious expression on his face, Haiji answered, "A manly greeting, and why you shouldn't judge someone based on something beyond their control."

The gi clad monsters closed their jaws, before Haiji continued, "I don't know why you're standing around, but you should be focusing on recruiting new members."

The gi clad yōkai gulped, before they replied, "Yes, vice captain."

The gi clad ayashi resumed with keeping an eye out for new recruits, while Haiji redirected his attention to Gin, who stared at him. With the same serious expression on his face, Haiji commented, "This year and the next two years are going to be real interesting."

Gin had a grim expression on his face, while he responded, "Yeah, let's just hope the situation doesn't get blown out of proportion."

*Elsewhere at the academy*

Tsukune, Moka Kyōko, Yukari and Kurumu continued walking, while they moved past groups of students, who gave them dirty looks, which they ignored. Kurumu, Yukari, Kyōko, Moka and Tsukune noticed a sign on a nearby booth, which had the kanji for Bodybuilding Club painted on it. The group halted, while they saw a group of unitard clad yōkai lifting barbells, in addition to raising dumbbells and kettlebells. The unitard clad ayashi also worked out on a couple of power towers, while Kyōko, Tsukune, Moka, Kurumu and Yukari stared at them. An older ayashi caught the attention of Kyōko, Kurumu, Tsukune, Moka and Yukari, while the older members of the group recognized him as Kamoshida, which caused them to freeze.

Kamoshida spotted the group, before a disdainful look formed on his face. Without any hesitation, Kamoshida said, "You're just like cockroaches. You don't know when to stop acting like pests."

With a frown on her face, Kurumu thought, 'Douchebag alert.'

Yukari and her friends glared at Kamoshida, while the witch spoke up, "Who do you think you are, jerk?"

Kamoshida snorted, before he answered, "My name is Kamoshida Masayoshi, and your friends know me as Aono's homeroom teacher."

Yukari, Kurumu, Moka, Tsukune and Kyōko clenched their fists, while Masayoshi continued, "I have no intention of allowing trash, traitors and a halfbreed to join the Bodybuilding Club, because you don't belong here."

Tsukune, Kyōko, Moka, Kurumu and Yukari kept glaring at Kamoshida, while the younger human questioned him, "How do you intend to do that? After all, you don't look young enough to be a member of a club."

Masayoshi narrowed his eyes at Tsukune, while the Yōkai replied, "It's simple, punk. I'm the advisor of the Bodybuilder Club, which grants me some degree of authority. As far as I'm concerned, you've overstayed your welcome at this academy."

With a grimace on her face, Kyōko replied, "We're not leaving this academy, sensei. My cousin, our friends and I will find a club to join, even if it takes us over eight hours."

Moka, Yukari, and Kurumu dropped their jaws, while they thought, 'Eight hours? Kyōko-senpai can't be serious?'

Feeling dejected, Tsukune hung his head, while he thought, 'As usual, Kyō is stubborn to a fault.'

Masayoshi smirked at Kyōko, who he responded to, "We'll see."

Kyōko stormed off in disgust, while Tsukune and their friends followed her. While Yukari, Kurumu, Moka, Tsukun and Kyōko moved away from the Bodybuilding Club's booth, the older human trembled, which concerned her cousin. Kyōko gnashed her teeth, while she thought, 'Oooh! He really ticks me off. One of these days, we'll show him.'

Yukari, Kurumu, Moka and Tsukune felt the tension radiating off Kyōko, which caused them to shudder, while they said nothing. Tsukune kept his eyes on Kyōko, while he muttered, "Kyō's angry. Until she calms down, I better give her a wide berth."

Moka, Yukari, Kurumu, Kyōko and Tsukune continued walking, while they passed more students, who glared them, which made Kyōko's mood worsen. While her eyes narrowed, Kyōko thought, 'I'm not in the mood to deal with these jerks. If they so much as do something to provoke me, I'll make them regret it.'

Kyōko, Tsukune, Kurumu, Yukari and Moka continued moving, while they noticed a booth up ahead, which had the kanji for Swimming Club painted on it. Behind the stand was a huge swimming pool, which caused the witch, succubus, vampire and humans to halt, while their eyes widened. In the booth was a girl, who had long black hair, emerald green eyes and fair skin. In terms of height and weight, the girl appeared to be average. As for her age, she was 16-years-old.

When it came to her clothing, she wore a purple bikini, a purple swimsuit coverup and matching flip-flops. As for the rest of her clothing, she adorned a white undershirt that was unbuttoned. The woman took notice of Tsukune, Kyōko and her friends, while a smile formed on her face, which confused the group. The girl walked from out of the booth, while Tsukune blushed at her figure, which made his cousin and their friends feel jealous. The girl stopped, while she questioned the group, "Hello. Are you here to join the Swimming Club?"

Tsukune, Kyōko, Moka, Kurumu and Yukari froze, which amused the girl, while she continued, "Don't be shy. The Swimming Club is always looking for new members, and we welcome all, regardless of their species. The same goes for humans."

Yukari, Kurumu, Moka, Kyōko and Tsukune's eyes widened, while the latter two thought, 'Did I hear her correctly?'

While their eyes were still wide, Moka, Kurumu and Yukari thought, 'I could have sworn she said humans are welcome to join too.'

The woman giggled, while she resumed speaking, "My name is Ichinose Tamao, and I'm a second year student. By extension, I'm the captain aka president of the Swimming Club. Because I just revealed my name, it's fair for you to introduce yourselves."

Tsukune, Kyōko and their friends nodded, before the former replied, "Indeed, but there's no point in introducing my cousin and I. The light ocean blue haired girl is Kurono Kurumu."

Tamao directed her attention to Kurumu, while the succubus stated, "Yo!"

Tamao nodded, before Tsukune resumed speaking, "The witch is Sendo Yukari."

Tamao directed her attention to Yukari, who uttered, "It's a pleasure to meet you."

Tamao nodded again, while Tsukune continued, "The pinkette is Akashiya Moka."

Tamao turned her attention to Moka, who said, "Hello."

Tamao nodded yet again, while she thought, 'Perfect.'

Tamao stopped nodding, while Kyōko questioned her, "When you said your club welcomes all, regardless of their species, did my cousin, friends and I mishear you?"

Tamao kept smiling, while she answered, "Not at all. The Swimming Club has a policy of welcoming all, and humans are no exception."

Kurumu, Tsukune, Kyōko and Yukari perked up, while Moka frowned. With a smile on their faces, Tsukune and Kyōko thought, 'We just found a club to join.'

With the same frown on her face, Moka thought, 'Tsukune-san, please don't tell me you're intending to join this club.'

Kyōko and Tsukune stepped forward, while he stated, "Consider us signed up."

Tamao smiled, while she remarked, "Splendid. Even though the Swimming Club is an all female club, I promise that any boys that join will be receiving lots of special attention from the ladies in our club."

Yukari, Kurumu, Moka and Kyōko immediately frowned, while Tamao continued, "There's a couple of changing booths nearby. Just change into some swimwear, and you'll be good to go."

Tsukune, Kyōko and their friends nodded, before the former smiled, while he thought, 'Oh, wonderful. This means I'll get a chance to see Moka in a swimsuit, and it might even be a sky blue bikini.'

*Ten minutes later*

Tsukune stood on the platform, while he adorned a pair of black swim trunks, and his scars were visible, which he wasn't hesitant about showing. Tsukune had left his gear near the chainlink fence, where Moka sat, while she had her hands placed against her knees, and she still wore her uniform. Moka pouted, while she had her eyes on Tsukune, who she muttered about, "Why does he even want to join this club? Is he interested in seeing these girls in swimsuits?"

Tsukune frowned, while a voice caught his attention, "Sorry we're late, Tsukune-kun. Kyōko-senpai was nervous about coming here."

Tsukune and Moka turned around, before he dropped his jaw. At the top of the stairs, Kurumu, Kyōko and Yukari adorned swimsuits. Kurumu wore a yellow bikini, while Kyōko had on a red string bikini, and Yukari wore a blue one piece swimsuit, all of which hugged their curves. As for footwear, they had on matching flip flops. Tsukune's eyes widened, while he blushed.

As for their rest of their attire, Kurumu kept her maid headband on, while Yukari didn't bother taking her witch's hat off, and Kyōko still adorned kept her four silver hair clips. Kyōko, Yukari and Kurumu were holding the former's gear, while they bent over, before they laid the gear close to Tsukune's equipment, and they proceeded to raise their backs again. With a seductive smile on her face, Kurumu winked, while placing her right hand on the back of her head, and she questioned Tsukune, "So, what do you think of my figure, Tsukune-kun? Do you like it?"

Tsukune stared at her breasts, while a bit of blood trickled out of his nose, which amused Kurumu, and she giggled, "I'll take that as a yes."

Moka, Kyōko and Yukari had annoyed expressions on their faces, while Tsukune commented, "All three of you look stunning."

Yukari, Kurumu and Kyōko blushed, while they smiled. With a confused expression on his face, Tsukune questioned the latter, "Kyō, why are you wearing a bikini? As a tomboy, you'd usually wear a one piece swimsuit."

Kyōko kept smiling, while she answered, "I just decided to try something different for a change."

Tsukune nodded, before he responded, "I see."

Kyōko blushed, while she questioned Tsukune, "Why is Moka-kōhai not wearing a swimsuit?"

With a dejected look on his face, Tsukune answered, "Moka said she doesn't feel like swimming, but she won't tell me why."

Kyōko frowned, while she replied, "I see."

Tamao walked up the steps, before she set foot on the platform, while her beauty managed to turn a few a heads, and Taukune blushed at her too. Moka, Kyōko, Kurumu and Yukari pouted, while they gave Tamao jealous looks, which the second year student paid no attention to. Tamao ran her right hand through her locks of hair, while she placed her left hand on her hip, which caused a few boys to blush, and blood trickled out of their noses. Tamao smirked, while she removed her undershirt, which she dropped onto the platform, and then she reached for her swimsuit coverup. Tamao untied her swimsuit coverup, while revealing her purple bikini bottom, before she also dropped her swimsuit coverup onto the platform, and her female peers smirked.

Tsukune and the other boys dropped their jaws at the sight of her figure, which earned them a smile from Tamao. Kurumu, Moka, Yukari and Kyōko pouted, while they simultaneously muttered, "No fair. Tsukune-kun/Tsukune-san/Tsuki should be looking at me like that."

Tamao slid her flip flops off, before she approached a ladder, which she grabbed onto, and she started climbing up. Tamao reached the top, before she pulled herself onto a diving board, and she walked on it, while everyone at the pool watched her. Tamao stopped at the edge, before she jumped off it, and then she performed a swan dive, while she descended into the water. With a splash, Tamao sank underwater, before she resurfaced, and the newcomers were impressed. Not willing to stand by anymore, Kurumu, Kyōko and Yukari removed their flip flops, while Tsukune too slid his flip flops off.

The boys took notice of this, while they glared at Tsukune, Kyōko, Kurumu and Yukari. Without any hesitation, one of the boys shouted, "Hey. Get out of here, scum."

Tsukune, Kyōko, Moka, Kurumu and Yukari frowned, while another boy raised his voice, "Your kind aren't welcome here."

While the boys continued glaring at Yukari, Kumuru, Moka, Kyōko and Tsukune, a third boy yelled, "Your presence is tainting this club."

Tamao kept smiling, while she spoke, "Now, now, boys. There's no need to be rude. There's plenty of room at the Swimming Club, which won't exclude anyone."

The boys dropped their jaws, while a fourth boy replied, "You have got to be kidding me? Since when do humans, halfbreeds and traitors get fair treatment?"

Kurumu, Yukari, Tsukune and Kyōko clenched their fists, while Moka just glared at the boys, who weren't intimidated by them. Tamao kept smiling, while she answered, "They're not so different from us, which grants them the right to join our club."

Moka frowned, while her friends smiled again. A fifth boy snorted, before he commented, "This is ridiculous. I'm leaving. If anyone wants to quit, they're welcome to join me."

The boys started swimming away, while a group of females in swimsuits swam towards them, and the girls grabbed onto them, which stopped them. The boys froze, while the girls questioned them, "Won't you please stick around."

With blushed on their faces, one of the boys answered, "Uh, sorry. We should get going."

The girls pressed their breasts against the bodies of the boys, which caused blood to trickle out of the males' noses, while the girls seductively smiled at them, and the females responded, "Please. We promise you'll have a good time."

The girl rubbed their breasts against the males' bodies, while another boy sputtered, "On second thought, we could remain here."

The girls smiled, while they released the boys, who continued swimming in the pool. Yukari, Kurumu, Kyōko, Tsukune and Moka dropped their jaws, before the former smirked, while she remarked, "Those girls sure are good at using their bodies to get what they want. As a succubus, you'd get along with them."

Kurumu shot a glare at Yukari, while the succubus questioned the witch, "Hey. Just what is that supposed to mean, brat? Are you slut shaming me again?"

With a toothy grin on her face, Yukari answered, "Maybe. Then again, a bimbo like you has gotten laid plenty of times."

Kurumu scowled, while she pushed Yukari, who yelped, and the witch fell into the water, which created a splash. Kurumu smirked, while Yukari resurfaced, before the witch coughed a bit, and the prodigy shot a glare at the succubus. In a haughty tone, Kurumu stated, "Opps! My hand must have slipped."

Yukari clenched her fists, while she replied, "You jerk. You did that on purpose."

Yukari reached for her hat, which she put back on, while Kurumu continued smirking, and the succubus responded, "Now why would I do that? What would a beauty like myself gain from pushing a brat like you? After all, it was just an accident."

Yukari trembled, while she raised, her voice, "Liar. Take this."

Yukari whipped out her wand, which she waved, while it glowed, and a washtub descended upon Kurumu, who jumped out of the way. With a smirk on her face, Kurumu taunted, "Ha! You missed."

Yukari also smirked, while she retorted, "Did I?"

A confused expression formed on Kurumu's face, before a second washtub landed on her head, which knocked her to the ground, and she groaned in pain. As the washtub fell off her, Kurumu rubbed her head, while Yukari sniggered, and the witch said, "Gotcha. Now what was that about me missing my mark?"

Kurumu glared at Yukari, while the succubus approached the edge of the pool, which the light ocean blue haired girl jumped into, and the older girl sank in the water. Kurumu swam upwards, before she resurfaced, while she continued glaring at Yukari, who still smirked at her, and the succubus swam away from the witch. Tsukune watched Kurumu and Yukari, while he felt Kyōko grab his right arm, which surprised him. Tsukune sighed, while Kyōko dragged him to the pool, before they halted at the underwater steps, and she took a deep breath. Kyōko stepped into the water, while she kept dragging Tsukune, who walked behind her, and she released her grip on him, before he moved right beside her.

Tsukune and Kyōko waded in the water, which went up to their chests, while they started to swim. Kyōko and Tsukune swam past Yukari, while she grinned at them. With a devilish grin on her face, Kurumu dived underwater, while she held her breath, and she swam underneath Kyōko, who she kept close to. Kyōko began backstroking, while her bikini top string came undone, and her bikini quickly sank into the water, which revealed her bare breasts. Much to Kyōko's shock, Tsukune and Yukari blushed at her, while blood trickled out of their noses.

A few of the boys dropped their jaws, while they too blushed, and blood also trickled from their noses, which amused the girls in the Swimming Club. Moka too gawked, while her jaw also dropped, and Kyōko's face became red as a tomato, before the human screeched, "Don't look at me."

Kyōko immediately ducked underneath the water, while Kurumu quickly resurfaced, and the succubus held her friend's bikini top, which she shamelessly twirled like a helicopter. With a playful look on her face, Kurumu watched Kyōko resurface, while the human only kept her head above the water, and the tomboy blushed. With a glare forming on her face, Kyōko raised her voice, "Kurumu-kōhai, you jerk. Give me back my bikini top."

Kurumu smirked, while she replied, "If you want it, then come get it, Kyōko-senpai."

Kyōko swam towards Kurumu, who had a confident look on her face, while she shouted, "Hey, Tsukune-kun. Catch."

Much to Kyōko's horror, Kurumu threw the bikini top in Tsukune's direction, before he caught it, which caused his blush to become brighter, and more blood trickled out of his nose. With a devious smile on her face, Kurumu thought, 'Kyōko-senpai and Tsukune-kun might not realize it, but I'm doing this for them. They'll appreciate my little stunt someday.'

Kyōko waded in the water, while she got closer to Tsukune, who held her bikini. Kyōko halted in front of Tsukune, while her chest was still below the water, and she eyed her bikini top, which Tsukune brought closer to the water. Kyōko extended her right arm out of the water, before she grasped her bikini top, which she pulled into the water, and she dived under the water. Tsukune backed up, while Yukari and him still blushed, along with blood continuing to trickling out of their noses. Tsukune and Yukari waited, before Kyōko eventually resurfaced, while revealing she was adorning her bikini top again.

Yukari and Tsukune calmed down a bit, while Kurumu shook her head. With a frown on her face, Kurumu thought, 'Well, at least Tsukune-kun got a good look at Kyōko-senpai's boobs.'

Tsukune, Yukari, Kurumu and Kyōko resumed swimming, while Moka continued watching them. Tamao swam gracefully, which impressed Tsukune and Kyōko, while the younger Aono questioned her, "You swim like an Olympic athlete, Ichinose-senpai."

Tamao smiled, while she responded, "Why thank you, Aono-kōhai. You're not bad yourself."

Tsukune smiled, while he replied, "You're welcome, and thanks. What kind of yōkai are you?"

With the same smile on her face, Tamao answered, "You're welcome. Why tell you, when I could just show you?"

Tsukune, Kyōko, Kurumu and Moka curiously stared at Tamao, while a pair of slits formed on her neck, in addition to an extra pair of slits forming on her cheeks too. Then a couple of fins sprouted from the sides of Tamao's head, while her hands became webbed. Tamao dived underwater, which she jumped out of, while the lower half of her body had been replaced with the body of a fish, and her smile added to her beauty. Kyōko and Tsukune stared in awe, while she thought, 'She's a mermaid.'

With another blush forming on his face, Tsukune uttered, "She's so beautiful. I never thought I'd see a mermaid."

A splash formed, while Tamao dove back into the pool, before she resurfaced, and she beamed. Like Tamao, the other girls in the swimming club started sprouting fins on both sides of their heads, while gill slits formed on their necks and cheeks. Then their hands also became webbed, while the lower halves of their bodies too became fishlike, and the boys in the pool were awed by their beauty, which pleased the mermaids. Kurumu, Yukari and Moka jealously glared at Tamao, while the vampire pouted again. Tsukune, Kyōko, Yukari and Kurumu continued swimming, while Tamao swam alongside Tsukune, which the girls in his circle of friends didn't like.

Kyōko glanced at Tamao, while the human shot a quick glare at Tamao, which the mermaid noticed, but the younger girl wasn't unnerved by her act of hostility. Tamao giggled, while she thought, 'Oh, my. It seems the succubus, witch, vampire and human are jealous, which is something I can use to my advantage. I'm so going to enjoy this.'

Tsukune and Tamao stopped swimming, before they stayed afloat, while she moved behind him. Tamao placed her right hand on Tsukune's right shoulder, while she used her left hand to grasp his left arm. Tsukune felt Tamao lift his left arm, which she ran through the water, while he felt confused, and he questioned her, "Ichinose-senpai, what are you doing?"

With the same smile on her face, Tamao answered, "I'm giving you some pointers on your swimming posture, Aono-kōhai."

Tsukune blushed a bit, while he responded, "I see. Thank you, but that won't be necessary."

Before Tsukune could pull his arm away, Tamao leaned closer to him, while she pressed her breasts against his back, and his blush became brighter. Some blood trickled out of Tsukune's nose again, while he resumed speaking, "Then again, maybe it wouldn't hurt for me to receive some pointers."

Tamao kept smiling, while she replied, "Splendid. I promise you won't regret this."

Tsukun nervously chuckled, while Tamao giggled, which Moka, Kurumu, Yukari and Kyōko did not like one bit. Moka kept pouting, while she trembled, which she didn't care if anyone noticed, and she muttered, "Stupid Tsukune-san, acting all flirty with that fishy minx."

Kurumu stopped swimming, before she floated in the water, while she continued glaring at Tamao, and the succubus thought, 'How dare she make a move on Tsukune-kun. He's my destined one, and only I can be allowed to take his V-card.'

Yukari too stopped swimming, before she also floated, while a pout formed on her face, and she thought, 'Why that sneaky fish girl. She has a lot of nerve interfering with my goal of having an intimate foursome with Tsukune-san, Kyōko-senpai and Moka-san.'

Like Yukari and Kurumu, Kyōko stopped swimming, before she stayed afloat. While she narrowed her eyes, Kyōko muttered, "Oh, that mermaid has some nerve trying to get all touchy-feely with Tsuki, and he deserves someone better than that girl."

Tamao continued giving Tsukune a hands-on experience, which frustrated Moka, while she the vampire stood back up, and the pinkette raised her voice, "That's enough, Tsukune-san. You joined this club, because you wanted to flirt with these girls… didn't you?"

Tsukune frowned, while Moka continued, "I can't stand seeing you ogling these women. I'm leaving."

Tsukune felt like he had been slapped in the face, while he uttered, "Wait, Moka-san. You don't understand."

Moka halted, while Tsukune continued, "I really wanted to swim with you, but you never bothered to explain why you don't want to swim."

Moka had a hurt expression on her face, while she responded, "You're the one that doesn't understand."

With a confused expression on his face, Tsukune stated, "Huh?"

Moka placed her left hand on chest, before she sighed, "The truth is I c-"

Before Moka could finish her sentence, Tamao flicked her tail, which splashed water in the vampire's direction, and the water landed on the pinkette's right hand. Electricity emitted from Moka's hand, which caused her to scream, while Tsukune and Kyōko stared in shock. Tsukune's eyes widened, while he thought, 'What? Did Moka-san get splashed with holy water?'

Kyōko's eyes also widened, while she began thinking, 'Why is Moka-kōhai in pain? Is there something special about this water?'

Kurumu and Yukari glared at Tamao, who innocently spoke, "Oh, my. How did that happen?"

Moka grasped onto her right hand, which still had electricity emitting from it, while she glared at Tamao, and the vampire hissed, "Don't play innocent with me. I know you did that to hurt me."

Tamao shamelessly smiled, while she replied, "I don't know what you're talking about, but I do know you're not in the water. If you won't swim, then perhaps you should leave."

Moka had a hurt expression on her face, while she ran away, which angered Kurumu and Yukari. Tsukune felt dejected, while he raised his voice, "Moka-san."

Kyōko shot a glare at Tamao, who the human muttered about, "That bitch."

While Moka disappeared from view, a mermaid giggled, "Looks like Ichinose-san found her prey."

With a smirk on her face, a second mermaid responded, "Indeed. Once she finds something she likes, she won't let go."

While a third mermaid smiled, she commented, "Aono-kōhai sure is lucky, because Ichinose-kōhai has chosen him, which is an honor, and he should feel grateful she is giving him special treatment."

A fourth mermaid pouted, while she muttered, "Ichinose-senpai is hogging the human, and I want to give special attention to him too."

Tsukune tried to move forward, while Tamao kept a grip on him, which Tsukune struggled against, and she uttered, "Now, now, Aono-kōhai. There's no need to waste your time with a girl that won't bother swimming."

Tamao leaned her face closer to Tsukune, while she leered at him, which made him feel uncomfortable, and she remarked in a sultry tone, "Contrary to what the student body says, your scent isn't repugnant, but I find it to be aromatic, which is turning me on. I don't think I can hold back any longer."

Tsukune's eyes widened, while he kept struggling against Tamao, which was futile against her, and she continued to maintain her grip on him. While Tamao was preoccupied with Tsukune, Kyōko dove underwater, before the older human swam towards the mermaid, and then the older Aono sibling resurfaced right behind her. While the other mermaids were distracted, Kyōko stood behind Tamao, who was still fixated on Tsukune. Without warning, Kyōko quickly slid her arms underneath Tamao's arms, which surprised the mermaid, and the human locked her hands. Tamao's eyes became wide, while she struggled against Kyōko, who held her in place, and the mermaid released her grip on Tsukune, before he started to swim yet again.

With a frustrated look on her face, Tamao watched Tsukune swim away, while she trashed in the water, but Kyōko didn't let go of her. Tamao continued thrashing, while she growled, "Let go of me."

Kyōko ignored Tamao, who kept struggling, while Tsukune got on dry land, before he approached his flip flops, and he uttered, "Thanks, Kyō."

Kyōko continued holding Tamao in a full nelson, while the human replied, "No problem, Tsuki."

Tsukune slid his flip flops on, before he ran to the stairs, while Tamao's eyes narrowed, and she snarled, "You're not getting away, Aono-kōhai."

Tsukune ran down the stairs, while he ran past his his peers, who glared and grimaced at him, which he ignored. Tsukune continued running, while he glanced at every nook and cranny. In a distraught tone, Tsukune uttered, "This is my fault. I gotta find Moka-san."

*Elsewhere at the academy*

Moka still had her left hand on her right hand, which continued to emit electricity, while she whimpered, and she heard a familiar voice, "You fool. Why were you so close to a body of water?"

Moka turned her attention to her rosary, before Moka remarked, "Oh, you're speaking through our rosary again."

Through the rosary, the other Moka responded, "Indeed. Whenever you get hit with water, this is what happens. Water resists supernatural energy, while the power drains from our body. In other words, we'll be paralyzed. There's a reason why water is a vampire's weakness."

Moka listened, while her other half continued, "Because this body also belongs to me, I can't have you being reckless. Do not allow Tsukune to put us at risk at again, and you can start by cutting ties with him."

Moka shook her head, while she replied, "No… no."

Via the rosary, the other Moka responded, "What?"

Moka huddled against the wall, while she uttered, "I'm sick of my physiology holding me back. I just want to be like everyone else. I feel weird, because I can't swim with Tsukune-san, Kyōko-senpai, Kurumu-san and Yukari-chan."

The other Moka paused, while her other half resumed speaking, "I want to be with Tsukune-san too."

Moka placed her head against her knees, while she cried, which caught the attention of Tsukune, who halted, and he stared at her. While tears streamed down her face, Tsukune spoke, "Moka-san."

Moka looked up, while she saw Tsukune, before her eyes became wide as saucers, and she questioned him, "Tsukune-san? What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be having fun with those minxes?"

Tsukune frowned, while he answered, "I know I messed up, but I'm not abandoning you."

Moka continued to avoid staring at Tsukune, who approached Moka, before he halted in front of her, and she glanced at him, while she questioned him again, "Why? Why don't you understand?"

With the same frown on his face, Tsukune answered, "I'll admit I just learned that water seems dangerous to you, but then again it was most likely holy water."

Moka shook her head, before she replied, "No. That's where you're wrong."

A confused expression formed on Tsukune's face, while Moka continued, "It's not holy water that hurts vampires, but water in general can harm a vampire. In order for a vampire to safely enter water, a water antidote herb is required."

Tsukune's eyes widened, while he felt the horror sink in, and he stumbled backwards, before he stopped. Tsukune trembled, while he thought, 'This is all my fault. If I had bothered to ask Moka-san more about vampires, I would have learned about her weakness to water, and she wouldn't have gotten hurt, which makes me an idiot.'

Tsukune clenched his fists, while he responded, "I'm so sorry, Moka-san. If I had asked you what your weakness was, I never would have signed up for the Swimming Club. I feel like a stupid jerk."

Moka got up, while she replied, "No, you're not entirely correct, Tsukune-san."

With a confused expression adorning his face, Tsukune listened to Moka resume speaking, "I shoulder part of the blame, because I took too long to reveal I was susceptible to water, and I got hurt as a result, which you shouldn't beat yourself up over."

Tsukune kept frowning, while tears streamed down his face, which he didn't bother to hide, and he uttered, "Moka-san?"

Moka approached Tsukune, before she halted in front of him, while he and her stared into each other's eyes. In a serious tone, Moka questioned Tsukune yet again, "Why are you interested in seeing those girls in swimsuits? Are you a pervert?"

Tsukune continued frowning, while he answered, "I wouldn't say pervert, because I have a healthy fascination with seeing a woman's body."

Moka narrowed her eyes, while she listened to Tsukune resume speaking, "As for an answer to your first question, it's not the girls I wanted to see in swimsuits, but I wanted to see you wear one, because you're beautiful."

Moka's eyes widened, while she thought, 'Did I just hear Tsukune-san correctly? Did he call me beautiful, and does he really want to see me in a swimsuit? Does this mean he's interested in being more than just friends with me?'

Tsukune started to comically whine, while he too thought, 'Oh, great. I can't believe just told Moka-san that. Now she's going to think I'm a creep.'

Without hesitation, Moka questioned Tsukune once more, "Just to make sure we're on the same page, can you confirm I heard you correctly?"

Tsukune continued comically whining, while he answered, "Yes. You didn't mishear me."

Moka smiled, while she placed her right hand on Tsukune's left cheek, which confused him, and she questioned him once again, "Tsukune-san, do you see me as a woman? Are you willing to be more than friends with me?"

In a hesitant tone, Tsukune answered, "I, uh, yes, Moka-san. I do view you as a woman. If you're talking about being a couple, then I won't deny that's what I want."

Moka beamed, while Tsukune and her kept staring into one another's eyes. Without a single ounce of hesitation, Moka leaned forward, while she pressed her lips against Tsukune's own, and his eyes became as wide as saucers. With a blush creeping onto his face, Tsukune started to mentally process what just occurred, 'She kissed me? Moka-san just kissed me?'

Moka pulled her head away, before she apologized, "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that. I do apologize for being too forward."

Tsukune smiled, while he sheepishly responded, "I don't think you were too forward, because I liked it. As much as I would like to return the favor by giving you a kiss, we would need to go on a date first."

Moka smiled again, while Tsukune awkwardly continued, "I need to get back to the swimming pool, because I need to tell Kyō, Kurumu-san and Yukari-chan that we won't be joining the Swimming Club. If you want, you could accompany me, but I recommend you steer clear of the water, which you could do by standing behind the fence."

Moka kept smiling, while she replied, "I understand, and thank you, Tsukune-san."

With the same smile on his face, Tsukune responded, "You're welcome, Moka-san."

Tsukune extended his hand forward, before Moka grasped his hand, and they walked out of the alley, while they stayed right beside each other. The students nearby noticed Tsukune and Moka holding hands, which they grimaced at, while a male student questioned, "Is that vampire holding hands with a filthy human?"

Amongst the students, a female student uttered, "I knew that succubus was a whore, but I never expected this from a vampire."

While his eyes narrowed, a boy stated, "Akashiya-san is a traitor."

With a glare on her face, a girl commented, "That makes her trash, and she should be treated as such."

Moka and Tsukune frowned, while they did their best to ignore their peers' hurtful comments. From within the distance, a bang could be heard, which caused the students and staff to freeze. Moka and Tsukune halted, while the former remarked, "That sounded like a gunshot, and it came from the direction of the pool."

Upon hearing those words, Tsukune felt the color drain from his face, while his heartbeat sped up, and his breathing became erratic. His eyes became wide as saucers, while he raised his voice, "Kyō."

Without thinking, Tsukune rushed forward, while he dragged Moka, who felt concerned for him, and she stayed behind him. While Tsukune and Moka continued running, the pool came into view, before a second gunshot emitted in the Swimming Club's direction. Once Moka and Tsukune reached the stairs, they quickly ascended them, before they stopped at the top. Near the edge of the pool stood Kyōko, who held her Glock, which she aimed at some mermaids, and the aquatic ayashi had their lips on the male swimmers. One-by-one, the the male swimmers lost color in their skin, which turned into dried-up husks, while their breathing became shallow, and the mermaids removed their mouths from the boys.

On their upper and lower jaws were two rows of sharp teeth, which had bits of blood on them. Tsukune and Moka stared in horror, while Kurumu hovered in the air, along with having her claws visible. Close to the fence was Yukari, who had her wand out, while Kurumu and her kept their cool, which contrasted Kyōko's disturbed expression. Moka covered her mouth with her free hand, while Tsukune muttered, "What's going on? What are the mermaids doing to the males?"

Tamao popped her head from the water, before she spotted Tsukune, which caused her to grin, and her rows of sharp teeth were revealed. Tamao licked her lips, before she commented, "So, you decided to return, Aono-kōhai. I can see you brought your vampire friend back, and you're horrified by what's happening to the men. While you stand there gawking, I'll explain what we're doing. As mermaids, we drain the life force from men, which we feed on, and the Swimming Club is the perfect facade to lure unsuspecting men into our feeding grounds. Since it was my idea to use the Swimming Club in such a manner, the other mermaids liked it, which got me promoted to President of the Swimming Club, and we've been carrying out this facade since last year."

Kurumu, Yukari, Moka, Tsukune, and Kyōko grimaced at Tamao, who continued, "While male monsters are tasty, it's human males like yourself that are considered a delicacy. I was so close to feeding on you, which your cousin ruined with her interference, while putting me in a foul mood, but devouring your life force will make me feel better."

Tsukune glanced at his gear, which was left untouched, and he redirected his attention to Tamao, while Kyōko spoke up, "There's no way I'm allowing you to lay a finger on Tsuki."

Kurumu glared at Tamao, while the succubus interjected, "Agreed. Tsukune-kun is off limits."

With her eyes narrowing, raised her voice, "Yeah. Don't you even think about turning him into a shriveled husk."

Tsukune released his grip on Moka's hand, while she too let his hand go, and he redirected his attention to his equipment, which he made a beeline for. Tamao narrowed her eyes, while she uttered, "Oh, no you don't."

Before Taukune could reach his gear, a stream of water shot in front of him, which forced him to halt, and it hit the fence. While water dripped off the fence, Tsukune turned to see Tamao, who had unhinged her jaw like a moray eel. Tsukune's eyes widened, while he sputtered, "What was that?"

With a smirk on her face, Tamao uttered, "If you think I'm going to let you grab your equipment, then you're sorely mistaken. After all, I can fire streams of water from my mouth, which is something all mermaids and mermen are capable of."

Tsukune frowned, while he thought, 'Crap! What am I gonna do?'

While her wings flapped, Kurumu glanced at Tsukune and his gear, before she made a beeline for the gear. Tamao quickly dived underwater, before she resurfaced, and she shot a stream of water, which Kurumu dodged. With a smirk on her face, Kurumu grabbed a couple of grenades, while Tamao's eyes widened, and the mermaid stated, "What? I missed?"

Kurumu flew in the air, before she halted above the pool, while she flapped the wings, and she showed off the grenades. Tamao's eyes were filled with horror, while Kurumu used her tail to remove one of the pins, before she dropped a grenade into the water, and the succubus repeated the process with the other grenade. The grenades went off underwater, which formed ripples on the surface, while the mermaids underwater felt disoriented, and they resurfaced. The mermaids clutched their heads in pain, while they screeched, and Tamao stared in shock, which her prey took advantage of. Tsukune resumed his run towards his equipment, before he stopped, and he grabbed his Glock, which he disengaged the safety on.

Tsukune quickly aimed his pistol at Tamao, while he said, "Surrender, Ichinose-senpai. Release the males, and we might be able to avoid a violent confrontation."

Tamao glared at Tsukune, while she replied, "Do you really think it will be that easy? With all that gear, you're still human, which makes you and your cousin easy targets. Compared to the vampire, succubus and witch, you humans have no unique abilities to speak of, which is something mermaids like myself can exploit."

Tsukune and Kyōko kept their Glocks aimed at Tamao, who continued, "Since you have a lack of experience with those weapons, there's no way you can hope to defeat us. Because it's clear I'll win, you should just surrender yourself to me."

Tsukune froze while he thought, 'This isn't good. I know I can't defeat mermaids in the water, because they are better at swimming than humans are, which gives them an edge over Kyō and I. On dry land, a mermaid's mobility is hampered, which is something that should work to our advantage, but it won't be easy to trick them into leaving their domain. If we can get the mermaids to set foot on dry land, Kyō and I could use the rest of our equipment to immobilize them. Now comes the question of how we can get them to leave the safety of their pool.'

While Tsukune kept thinking, Tamao kept her attention on him, and she smirked at him, which Kurumu took advantage of. Without warning, Kurumu swooped in, while she grabbed Yukari, who she carried into the air, and the witch yelped. Tamao turned her attention to Kurumu and Yukari, before the mermaid narrowed her eyes, while the older girl questioned the situation, "Now what are they up to?"

Yukari squirmed, while she questioned Kurumu, "What do you think you're doing, cow tits?"

Kurumu's left eye twitched, while she answered, "For the time being, I'm going to pretend I didn't hear you say that. Tsukune-kun and Kyōko-senpai need our help, which we can give via air support. That and I might have an idea of what my destined one is up to."

With a frown on her face, Yukari calmed down, while she kept her eyes on the mermaids, and she responded, "Okay. I hope Kyōko-senpai and Tsukune-san know what they're doing."

Kurumu nodded, while she stayed airborne, which Tamao and her fellow mermaids narrowed their eyes at. Tsukune and Kyōko pointed their pistols, which forced most of them to dive underwater, while Tamao remained above the water. Yukari smirked, while she commented, "I think I just figured out what he's planning."

Yukari waved her wand, while she chanted, "Magic wands, grenades."

Yukari's wand glowed, while the nearby grenades levitated, which caught Tamao's eye, and the explosives flew towards to the pool. With her eyes widening, Tamao raised her voice, "No. Are they out of their minds?"

The grenade pins were immediately removed, before the explosives made contact with the water, which they sank into, and they went off. Streams of water shot into the air, before the mermaids resurfaced, while they too clutched their heads in pain, and they screeched. While her eyes were still wide, Tamao uttered, "Oh, no."

Kurumu descended, before she got closer to the ground, which she dropped Yukari on, and the witch waved her wand again. While the wand glowed blue, a few washtubs fell on top of the disoriented mermaids' heads, which knocked them out, and Kurumu flew quickly. Without warning, Kurumu delivered a few kicks to the backs of their heads, which rendered the remaining disoriented mermaids unconscious, and Tamao could only stare in shock. With a smirk on her face, Kurumu hovered in the air, while she raised her fist, and she shouted, "Ya-hoo-hoo!"

Yukari grinned, while she raised her voice, "Take that."

Tsukune, Kyōko and Moka smiled, while the older human uttered, "There's one more to go, which means she might as well surrender."

Tamao narrowed her eyes, while she coldly stated, "Don't think for a moment that you've won, because there's at least one silver lining."

Tsukune, Kyōko, Moka, Kurumu and Yukari stared in confusion, while a smirk formed on Tamao's face, which confused them. In a haughty tone, Tamao resumed speaking, "Although you defeated my colleagues, you've run out of grenades, which you failed to use against me, and I can still defeat you."

The eyes of Yukari, Kurumu, Moka, Kyōko and Tsukune widened, while the latter thought, 'Aw crap!'

Kyōko tried to maintain her composure, while she uttered, "Shoot! We were so close."

With a frown on her face, Moka thought, 'There has to be something we can do to save the other swimmers.'

Via the rosary, the other Moka spoke, "Call her a small fish."

Out of confusion, Moka replied, "Huh?"

Through the rosary, Inner Moka responded, "If you refer to her as a small fish, she'll snap. Trust me."

While she continued frowning, Outer Moka replied, "Okay."

Moka redirected her attention to Tamao, who smirked, while the vampire raised her her voice, "Hey. Come get me, you minnow."

Tamao narrowed her eyes, while she directed her attention to Moka, before the mermaid glared at the vampire, and the older girl growled, "What did you just call me, you bloodsucker?"

Moka stood her ground, while she answered, "You heard me. A minnow like you should leave my friends alone."

Tamao's left eye twitched, before she screeched, "Die, vampire."

Without hesitation, Tamao leapt from the water, which surprised Kurumu, Yukari, Tsukune, Kyōko and Moka. Tamao flew towards Moka, who jumped out of the way, while Tamao landed on the concrete, which the vampire and her friends recognized as an opening. With a devilish grin on her face, Kyōko rushed towards her gear, which she stopped in front of, and she put her pitsol down. Kyōko quickly a taser, before she turned around, while she continued grinning, and she shouted, "Over here, guppy."

Tamao turned to face Kyōko, who still had a devilish grin on her face, while the mermaid shot a glare at her, which didn't faze the human, and the younger girl roared, "You're dead meat."

Tamao lunged at Kyōko, while she stood her ground, and the human pointed the taser at the mermaid, which the younger girl paid no attention to. When Tamao got close enough, Kyōko rolled out of the way, which caused the mermaid to miss, and the aquatic yōkai was annoyed. Kyōko quickly stood back up, while she stated, "Game over."

Kyōko pressed a switch, which caused electricity to emit from the taser, while the human thrusted the taser at the mermaid, and the aquatic ayashi stared in shock. The electricity surged through the mermaids's body, while Tamao screamed in pain, before Kyōko turned her taser off, and the younger girl collapsed on the ground. With Tamao rendered unconscious, Kyōko, Tsukune, Kurumu, Yukari and Moka smiled, while the elder Aono whooped, "That's what I'm talking about."

While a grin formed on her face, Kurumu raised her voice, "Whoo! You go, girl."

Yukari beamed, while she uttered, "That was awesome. I was worried, but I never expected you to fry that stupid fish."

Moka kept smiling, while she said, "Thank goodness. I'm glad this fight is over."

With the same smile on his face, Tsukune bent over, before he sat his gun on the concrete, and he released his weapon. While Tsukune got back up, he responded, "Agreed. We still need to get the male swimmers out of the water."

Moka, Kurumu, Yukari and Kyōko nodded, before the latter bent over. While Kyōko placed her taser on the concrete, Yukari approached the pool, and the human released her tool, before she stood back up. Kyōko to approached the pool, which Yukari and her entered. While Moka stayed on dry land, Tsukune too entered the pool, before Yukari, Kurumu, Kykōko and him swam towards the male swimmers, who were still shriveled like raisins. Tsukune grabbed a male swimmer, who feebly struggled, which annoyed the human, while he carried the ayashi out of the pool, and the younger Aono pressed him against the concrete.

Tsukune release his grip on the yōkai, before he reentered the pool, while Kurumu flapped her wings, and she dove towards a male swimmer, who she grabbed. Kurumu pulled the ayashi out of the water, while she carried him, and she halted above the concrete, which she carefully placed the male yōkai on the deck. Kurumu released the male swimmer, before she flew back towards the pool, while Yukari swam towards another male ayashi, who she grabbed, and she pulled him though the water. The yōkai weakly resisted, which caused Yukari to pout, while she returned to dry land, and she gently laid the yōkai against the concrete. Yukari let go of the male swimmer, before she set foot in the pool again, while Kyōko swam towards a male yōkai, who she grabbed, and he feebly resisted.

This also annoyed Kyōko, while she dragged him through the water, before she returned to dry land, and she sat him on the concrete. Kyōko returned to he pool, while Tsukune, Yukari and her swam towards more of the shriveled husks. While the minutes passed, the humans, witch and succubus had returned the last of the male swimmers to the concrete, before they sighed in relief. With a frown on her face, Moka uttered, "I'm glad that's finally over."

Tsukune also frowned, while he replied, "Yeah, but it's not so nice getting called a damn dirty human by some ingrates."

Yukari shook her head, before she interjected, "Agreed. Getting told my mere touch will taint them isn't something l want to hear from the people I'm trying to rescue."

Kurumu descended to the ground, which her feet touch, while her tail was pulled back into her tailbone, and with her wings were returned inside of her back. While her pointed ears round agin, her claws retracted. With a a frown also on her face, Kurumu butted in, "Indeed. I feel like we should have let them drown, but my destined one doesn't want that."

Kyōko pouted, while she stated, "True. Thanks to our stunt at the pool, we might as well kiss our club membership goodbye."

With a frown on his face, Tsukune responded, "So much for becoming a part of the Swimming Club. Just when we found a club that would accept us, their members had ulterior motives for allowing us to join. To make matters worse, Moka's vulnerable to water, which makes this not a good club for her, and we'll have to search for yet another club to join."

Yukari, Kurumu and Kyōko hung their heads dejectedly, while Moka replied, "I know, but I'm glad you're taking my well-being into account."

Tsukune smiled a bit, while he directed his attention to Moka, who turned to face him. While Tsukune and Moka made eye contact, he lovingly said, "Moka-san."

In an affectionate tone, Moka responded, "Tsukune-san."

Kurumu and Kyōko gave Moka jealous looks, while Yukari giggled. Moka and Tsukune paid the girls no mind, while a familiar voice caught their attention, "This is unexpected, because I never thought to see you here."

Tsukune and Moka ended, their gaze, while they directed their attention to the source of the voice, which the other three girls shifted their gaze to. To their surprise, Shizuka stood close to the steps, while she adorned a straw hat, a pair of black shades, a white one piece swimsuit and a pair of white flip flops. In her right hand was a fish shaped ice cream pop, in addition to a glass of iced tea in her left hand. Tsukune, Kyōko, Moka, Kurumu and Yukari had surprised expressions on their faces, while the former questioned the cat girl, "Nekonome-sensei? What are you doing here?"

With a playful grin forming on her face, Shizuka answered, "I just came here to relax, and I don't mind getting wet. Anyway, why didn't you, your cousin and friends sign up for the Newspaper Club, Aono-kun?"

Tsukune, Kyōko and their friends had confused expressions on their faces, while Shizuka continued, "I'm pretty sure I suggested that you, Akashiya-chan and Kurono-chan visit the Newspaper Club, which I mentioned this morning in class. I was also expecting you three to tell Sendo-chan and Aono-chan about the Newspaper Club, which doesn't seem to be the case. In case you forgot, I'm the advisor of the Newspaper Club."

In response to Shizuka's words, Kyōko, Tsukune, Moka, Yukari and Kurumu tilted their heads in confusion, while the cat girl frowned. In a frantic tone, Shizuka apologized, "Oh, no! I'm so sorry. I had forgotten to tell you about the Newspaper Club, because I was frustrated at your peers giving you a hard time again."

Tsukune, Moka, Kyōko, Kurumu and Yukari began to smile, while the vampire thought, 'We finally found a club that will accept us, while not having any strings attached either.'

Moka beamed, while she said, "Nekonome-sensei, we would be honored to join the Newspaper Club."

A smile formed on Shizuka's face, while the cat girl replied, "Oh, thank goodness. Ever since last year, the Newspaper Club lost most of its members, which left the club president as the only remaining member, and we've been short of the minimum number of members since then."

Tsukune and Moka continued smiling, while they extended their hands, which they grasped. While Moka and Tsukune held hands, their friends noticed this, which caused most of them to give her jealous looks. While Kurumu and Kyōko clenche their fists, Yukari grinned. Without hesitation, Kurumu quickly wrapped he arms around Tsukune's other arm, which surprised Tsukune and Moka. Kurumu and Moka glared at each other, while Yukari shot a glare at Kurumu, who ignored the loli. Yukari glomped Tsukune, which caused him to nearly stumble, while she clung to his back, and Kyōko threw her arms around her cousin's waist.

Tsukune stared in shock, while Kurumu glared at Yukari and Moka, which wasn't enough for them to back down. Kyōko pouted, while she refused to let go. With a mischievous smile on her face, Shizuka began thinking, 'As usual, Aono-kun is popular with women. Sooner or later, he's going to be raising little humans, dhampirs, succubi, incubi and witchlets.'

Shizuka directed her attention away from Tsukune and the girls, before she stared at the result of their battle, which caused her to frown. While Shizuka kept her eyes on the mermaids and shriveled students, she thought, 'I can't say this is a surprise, but I do wonder if the director will expel the women in the Swimming Club.'

A/N: Now this was a blast to right, especially since this chapter has some fan service, and another character from the manga made an unexpected early appearance, which is fun to take advantage of. I would to thank Wolfpackersson09 for his suggestions in the fight with the mermaids. I would also like to credit Temporal King with the suggestion of how Tsukune views Kurumu, Yukari and Kyōko in their swimsuits, while admitting they're stunning. For those of you that are confused, I have somewhat altered Kyōko's homeroom teacher by giving him the first name of another Persona 5 character, and he's also unpleasant like Suguru Kamoshida, because Shido Masayoshi also commits heinous crimes against women. That should tell you that Masayoshi Kamoshida is a disgusting person, and I have no doubts he'll get his fair share of haters soon.

Anyway, I hope this chapter was to your liking.
