RV: The Monster Within

by Icepick13

There are times when one must question, who are the real monsters? Who is wrong? Is it the world? Or is it those who inhabit the world? Two boys will enter a world that was thought to be a myth. Was their entrance a guide by fate or accidental? Only time will tell. (Alternate Retelling of the Story.)

2. Chapter 2

Greetings to all. Welcome to the second chapter of this story. Hopefully, you all are enjoying the story. I've decided to try something out with the beginning of each story by applying a fantasy picture in text. This requires imagination, but it's something I wanted to try out. Let me know if you all like it.

Also another note. Like the last chapter, this chapter is still in progress but I managed to get the first half of it done. There's one issue that I notice when browsing other fanfics. It's that most stories are usually abandoned or updated years later. Now I'm not one to say that I will update every month, but I will try to update as best as I can.

Even with the source material, my first chapter did take me quite a while. What I wanted to say was that some chapters will be published as a whole, while other chapters will be published in parts. (Like the first chapter and this one, the first half is published and the second half will be published probably soon, given my motivation XD)

I do it like this because I felt that when I write based on the source material, I feel that the chapter is too short. I like to write really long chapters, that's probably a bad thing to do but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Let me know what you all think.

Anyways.

I'll stop rambling now

Enjoy!

Chapter 2 – Club Life

(Thought)| "Talking" |*SFX*"Inner Beings/Monster Form"|

Fantasy Picture: Students of various clubs are gathered in the main hallway of the academy. Tsukune, Moka, Takashi and Kurumu are each looking at different clubs.

---

It has now been a month since the two boys have entered the academy. So far, their experience has been less than exciting than a normal school should've been. However, this school is not a normal one and, surprisingly, these two have been able to face the dangers that have come at them. If it were not for the dangerous vampire who they have befriended, then the boys would surely not survive.

But at the moment, we see the trio walking to the academy. The three were talking and something was said that made Moka stand in front of Takashi.

"It's…" she muttered. "It's really alright? Takashi…?"

What lead up to this moment was the three had been discussing Moka's tendencies to suck Tsukunes blood. Takashi had opened his mouth by claiming that if she is truly desperate, he would offer his blood for her. To which the vampire had gotten excited about. The boy was immediately regretting saying that sentence.

"Y…Y-Yeah…" he sighed out depressingly.

Moka was getting closer to him. With each space being closed in, the more nervous he got. She was close to his neck; her mouth was ready for a bite.

"Gyah! I can't do it…"

*Push!*

"Eh?"

Takashi had pushed Moka back. His heart was beating rapidly, and his face was bright red from embarrassment. Moka had looked at him in disbelief.

"Look, I'm sorry Moka, but I just can't do it!" The boy ran off with comical tears.

(I don't want to be vampire food!)

The vampire was confused at what just happened. She was a bit depressed too that small tears formed.

"Tsukune, why does Takashi hate meeee!?" the tears were now being released; Tsukune tried to calm her down, but knew that there was only one way to do it.

"I-Its not that Takashi hates you. Maybe he's just too nervous?" he reassured her.

That still didn't stop her crying. It's one thing for Takashi to deny her his blood, but to actually push her away was what got to her.

"L-Look, if it cheers you up. Here…" Tsukune had pulled his collar down.

The revealed skin showed that Tsukune would offer his blood.

"R-Really Tsukune? Are you sure?" She asked.

"Y-Yeah…" Tsukune answered hesitantly.

"Ohh, Tsukune…" she sweetly said.

*Capu*

"GYAAA!" The sound of Tsukunes voice was heard.

The vampire had licked her lips and gotten her daily share of blood from Tsukune. As much as Tsukune wants to get close to her, he feels that to perform that is a long way away.

"Tsukune's blood is so yummy!" The vampire said aloud in a cheery tone. Grabbing her cheeks at how delicious it was.

(Why does this happen every time!?) Tsukune thought as he tried to recover from the light-headedness.

---

*Gong-Gong-Gong*

The bell had rung signalling the end of classes.

"Well then everyone," Nekonome had said. "The goal of this academy is to train monsters to adapt to human society… Just as I've been saying all along. So that means starting today you're all going to take up club activities!" she announced cheerfully.

The class did not erupt in cheers as the cat teacher thought they would.

(Club…Club Activities!?) Tsukune thought in shock.

"We'll get a deeper understanding of humans by experiencing human-made activities through some in club activities! To transform into humans perfectly, we must have a clear understanding of humans!" she cheerfully finished while writing her plan for them on the blackboard.

"Uhh…Ummm Teacher?" Takashi called.

Nekonome looked at him with eagerness to answer his question. The boy pointed at your tail.

"Are you supposed to show us that?" Takashi asked hesitantly.

Nekonome looked to where he was pointing and saw that her tail had been revealed unconsciously. She wagged before realising the embarrassment. Immediately flushed from embarrassment she scratched Takashi's face.

"RAWWWR! *Scratch* Scratch*"

"YEEOUCH" the boy yelled in pain.

With the boy on the floor, Nekonome resumed.

"Understand? Everyone will participate in club activities." She said cheerfully; disregarding what she just did.

"Everyone please visit a lot of groups and decide which one you want to enter. Also be sure to visit the newspaper club that I'm the advisor for, ok!"

---

After leaving Takashi at the infirmary, Tsukune and Moka and gone to the main hall. This is where students would try to recruit new members. The two were surprised at how expressive each club was.

"Come join the baseball club!"

"Please everyone come look at our food in the cooking club!"

"Don't forget to check us out at the drama club!"

Each club had done its best to attract eager students.

"Look how awesome it is! I bet every group has someone advertising here?" Tsukune said to Moka.

Hey, Tsukune, what group should we join?

Tsukune pondered for the moment before coming up with a club.

"How about the swimming club?"

"!..." The vampire had an immediate shocking response to that.

"Well, actually my parents made me take swimming classes until grade school. So that's what I'm thinking for since I'm familiar with it." Tsukune expressed while scratching his cheek. Though he also wanted to see the vampire in a swimsuit.

"Errr…But I…" Moka started, with Tsukune eager to hear what she wanted to say.

"Anyway, it's still too early to decide. So, let's visit a lot of clubs since they've gone to all this trouble!" she grabbed Tsukunes arm and took him to different clubs.

As the two were looking at different clubs, they had managed to get the attention of different groups.

"Hey, it's Moka!"

"Whoa! They say that she's the cutest girl in the freshman class."

"She is really pretty!"

"I've never seen anyone so cute!" A few of the males had expressed.

*Click*

A camera had managed to get a photo.

"Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful." Again, the student tried to get another photo.

"Moka, you must join our club" The boy creepily approached the two. "Please let us take lots of pictures of you! I assume nudes are okay?"

Tsukune immediately ran away with her.

"Moka, you must join our chemistry club! Let's make magic love powder together!"

Another student tried. Again, Tsukune ran with her.

"No, join the Acupuncture club…!"

"The mummy club!"

More students tried, but Tsukune ran with Moka.

(Don't they have any normal clubs at this school!) Tsukune thought panicking.

"Oh? Then what about the swimming club?" A voice had said.

Tsukune was approached by a black-haired girl.

"I'm the swimming club captain, Tamao Ichinose. Why don't we swim together?" she grabbed Tsukunes hand.

"The swimming club is all female! The girls will end up paying lots of special attention to the boys who join our club!" She announced.

Many of the males were cheering after hearing. Earning more cheers from males and also getting the males to join their club.

(Thank goodness…There's at least one normal club) Tsukune thought. However, Moka was feeling uncertain about it.

---

The people who joined the club were taken to the swimming pool.

"Welcome to Youkai Academy's Swimming Club!" one of the girls announced to the new members.

The boys who joined got even more exciting as there were more girls in swimsuits. Each girl paired up with a boy and started their activities.

"Wow, it's a little different but we're free to do whatever we want!" Tsukune said.

(I can get a deeper relationship with Moka here) he also thought as he pictured teaching Moka swimming.

Moka looked at the water uncomfortably.

"Um…Umm Tsukune?" she called. "I…Don't really like swimming!"

"Huh?" Tsukune questioned while looking at her.

10 minutes had passed. Due to Moka disliking the water and Tsukune wanting to not leave her alone. The two ended up sitting at a table underneath an umbrella. Tsukune had a depressing aura around him.

(I guess Moka doesn't understand my feelings at all. My dream of seeing Moka in a swimsuit…)he comically cried to the last thought.

"Oh, what are you doing over here?" Tamao asked. "Hurry and come swim with us."

Before Tsukune could answer, Tamao had embraced him from behind and dragged him to the other members. The other girls had managed to change Tsukune from his uniform to the swimming clothes while complimenting him. Moka called out for him while covering her eyes.

"Hm…" Tamao looked at Moka. "So you're the rumoured Moka Akashiya? Rumours say that you're also a vampire, I wonder if its true?"

Tamao then approached Moka and stood directly in front of her.

"Well anyway, this is a swimming club. If you have no intention to swim, then why don't you leave?" Tamao turned walking to the others.

10 minutes had passed since Tsukune was dragged to the water. Tamao was personally seeing to the "exercises" that he was doing.

"Wow, Tsukune, your form is beautiful." She complimented the boy. She continued giving him different exercises that involved him and her interacting very closely.

Seeing this, the vampire had gotten quite jealous of the two interacting. Other members and new members had also seen how the two were closely interacting.

"Wow, Tamao really has a mature charm."

"Forget that, I want to know why that Tsukune guy always gets all the action?"

"He acts as if he didn't come with Moka!"

A few of the boys had reacted.

("""I'm going to kill that bastard someday!""") All the boys had a similar thought.

Tamao continued to swim with Tsukune.

(What am I doing? For some reason things are slowly taking a turn away from my original plan) Tsukune thought.

"So that's Tsukune?"

"Captain Tamao has really done a good job of keeping an eye on him for a while now, hasn't she?

"I thought so too! He's quite a find!"

"Aw, I wish I had called out to Tsukune first!" The female members expressed their desires.

Tsukune could feel the stares of both the boys and the girls. Tamao looked over to one particular female, the vampire, as if to mock her she brought Tsukune closer to her. Causing the vampire to look more bitter

---

Elsewhere in the school, more students were walking around looking at different clubs.

"Hey, did you hear? There's a rumour that Moka might join the swimming club."

"Woah really? if that's the case then I might join too."

"Yeah, but some say that she got in the pool, and some say that she didn't"

"Doesn't matter, I just wanna see her in a swimming suit."

Two boys had conversed. This got the ear of a certain blue-haired succubus.

(Moka in the swimming club? Then I wonder if that means that Tsukune will join the swimming club too? After all, they're probably going to do something together.) Kurumu thought.

"I'm not going to lose to Moka Akashiya. Because I'm going to make sure I join the same club as Tsukune too."

She starts to walk in the direction of the swimming club but stops.

(Wait, but isn't that strange? I thought vampire and water…)

"Owow…" A voice was heard that got Kurumu out of her thought.

"That nurse did nothing for the pain. It still hurts!" Takashi was touching his face and felt the scars that were left from the scratches.

"Takashi?"

"Huh? Kurumu?"

The two saw each other. The succubus goes to him.

"Why aren't you with Tsukune?"

"Well, a certain scratching occurred and Tsukune left me at the infirmary. Him and Moka went to look at clubs together. I wanted to get my scratches fixed, but the nurse said that it wasn't that bad and let me out." Takashi then sees a nearby mirror.

"My face. My beautiful normal face…" the boy cried while looking in the mirror.

The two went back to the infirmary, where Kurumu was tending to Takashi's scars.

"Yeow. That stung!" The boy yelled in pain.

"You're the idiot for telling the teacher that her tail is out!" Kurumu responded as she continued to tend to his scratches. While Kurumu mainly tolerates Takashi due to being Tsukunes relative. She noticed that she never got a good look at him. Mainly his eyes.

"huh, I never noticed that you're eyes are different."

"Oh, that. Well, all I know is that my eyes have been like this since I was a baby."

Kurumu kept looking at the eyes, making Takashi uncomfortable.

"Take a picture, it'll last longer." The boy insultingly told her, angering the girl.

Making the succubus respond by placing a steaming hot cloth on his scratches.

"YEOUCH!"

This continued for the next few minutes.

After managing to get the scratches slightly healed. The two left the infirmary and headed towards the main hall.

"What club are you going to join Takashi?" Kurumu asked.

"I don't know. I haven't seen any of the clubs, so I don't know what's available."

"Ugh, I wanted to go around with Tsukune, but I guess I'll have to tolerate you for now." Kurumu impolitely said.

"You know, you should become a motivational speaker. I can imagine the amount of people who would kill themselves listening to you." Takashi responded sarcastically.

While the two don't really like each other, they just tolerate one another only because they have a person of interest between them.

"Come on. Let's get this over with…" Takashi walked ahead.

"Hey, don't walk ahead of me you idiot" Kurumu said while catching up.

Now browsing around the different clubs. The same thing that happened to Moka and Tsukune, happened to these two.

"Hello there pretty girl. Would you fancy joining… the art club? We need models for our paintings."

"No!" Kurumu Bluntly responded and left.

"So, you're saying that art is an explosion?" Takashi was talking to a current member who had shown an earlier demonstration of his art.

"Of course!" The male member shouted excitedly. "Most people prefer to draw their expressions of art. Whether it be painting, colouring, spray painting on a canvas. I prefer to create explosions and look at the aftermath of said explosion." The member proceeded to get more excited.

"Interesting, so how does it work?" Takashi questioned.

"Simpleton. One cannot explain what the explosion form is. Instead…" The member proceeded to take out a clay bird and threw it in the air. "I'LL JUST SHOW YOU!"

"Oh no! Deidra is getting excited again!"

"Everybody run!"

The students who gathered all started to run away from Deidra. Who had his hand lit up in flames and threw a small fireball at the clay bird. When the fire hit the bird; a bigger explosion happened in the air.

*BOOM!*

Causing items on nearby tables to be blown off, signs had disintegrated of various clubs. The students who were unlucky to be caught had dropped to the floor, protecting their heads.

"Hahahahaha! Now do you see the art form of explosions. That is what art is all about. Not painting, drawing or photography. The greatest form of art is explosions! HAHAHAHA" Deidra manically laughed.

Takashi stood watching the boy be passionate about his artform. Surprisingly he was not too affected by the explosion, since Deidra threw the clay bird away from them.

"I like your style." Takashi smiled. "But in saying that, I don't think that I'll be able to find an art that can make me as passionate as you. So, I'm going to decline to join." He then left and caught up with Kurumu.

"Tch. Of course, he doesn't understand the explosion art form."

"DEIDRAAAAA!"

"Eep!"

Deidra knew that the person coming was the president of the art club.

Meanwhile Kurumu and Takashi continued looking at different clubs.

"Look it's not that I don't understand that art is an explosion. I'm just saying that its not for me. You know?" Takashi explained.

"I don't care about art being an explosion. I just want to go to the swimming club and see Tsukune." Kurumu responded.

The two continued to walk looking around other clubs. One of the clubs was an interest to Kurumu.

"Come one! Come All!" A girl shouted out. "We the cooking club will demonstrate how to use leftover ingredients to prepare a gourmet meal."

Takashi was looking at the ingredients that were left. Fish heads, tuna bones, Potato skins, fish guts and a handful more leftovers.

"Woah, the bad parts are somehow going to be prepared as a gourmet dish." A student said.

(Gourmet meal from those bad parts?) Takashi thought. Kurumu only looked at the scene in front of them. The girl who shouted earlier had an apron that said president on, along with several cooking members. The president grabbed a few knives and started chopping at the fish heads and tuna bones until it was paste.

"First crush the tuna's bones and head, then mash the guts." She placed the guts into a bowl and starting mixing while another cooking member would start mashing them.

"Knead it with vegetable waste and deep-fry them."

Some cooking members had grabbed the fish mash and kneaded them into small balls. Following that, another student grabbed the balls and put them into a pot that was filled with oil.

"From the leftover fat, you put it in another pot and stew it until it melts." She had grabbed a ladle and sipped a taste. "Add some stock that we have from the seashells, and we can create a special sauce for the topping. Once the balls had finished deep frying. Apply the sauce."

The student who was deep frying had put the balls onto a plate, from which the girl used the ladle and applied the sauce to the fish balls. The girl had grabbed a whisk and the ladle and started spinning them in her hands. Further performing at how experienced she is with the tools.

"The bitterness of the tuna's guts stimulates people's appetites, and the strong tastes blow spirits into their exhausted bodies." She then pointed to each and every student. "Which means that we need marinated food that isn't too heavy." A Cooking member had brought a bowl that was filled with potato skins and poured them over a chopping board. The President started to finely chop the potato skins.

"The skins of potatoes have more nutrients than the insides. They're the ideal nutrient source for hardworking students." She said calmly, which caused the nearby students to cheekily laugh. She had a gravy boat in her hand that contained a green liquid.

"Use broccoli cores to make soft, sweet-scented dressing." The liquid was then poured over the fish balls.

As the liquid hit the fish balls, the president stood at the end of the table with her arms open and a smile on her face.

"Cuisine a la carte!" she said aloud.

The students stood in shock at how professional the president was. She then walked in front of the table.

"Let this be a lesson to you all! It doesn't matter if its 100 dollars or 1000 dollars you spend. You shouldn't waste even one piece of food. No matter what food it is, giving love to the whole cuisine is a cook's etiquette." She said seriously to everyone who was there.

After having said what she wanted, she smiled. "Though in saying that. Dig in!" The president and the cooks started handing out the food.

"Now that is how you get students to sign up." An excited Takashi said to Kurumu. The succubus was in awe at the cooking that was shown.

"What a lovely couple you two are?" the president had approached the two. "Care to try?" she offered them a small plate of the fish balls.

"Thanks. Oh, we're not a couple." Takashi took the plate. She offered one to Kurumu too. Who took the plate but was hesitant in eating.

"Who taught you how to cook?" she asked the president.

The president only looked at her. A smile formed on her face when she remembered her instructor.

"Let me just say that I was taught by an ex-student." She reminisced.

The president left the two and went to offer food to the other students. Meanwhile Takashi was in awe at the food.

"Woooow. This food is really good. Have you tried it Kurumu?" he asked the succubus.

"It's alright."

"Are you for real? I've never had any food this good before. It's like I was served by angels." While Takashi was complimenting the food.

The succubus was conflicted. On one hand she wants to join the cooking club, but on the other hand she wants to spend more time with Tsukune. She looked over to Takashi and saw that he was enjoying it to his hearts content. Seeing how the president of the cooking club enjoyed making her food and the demonstration she showed.

"Hey Kurumu, you alright?" Takashi asked her.

Without saying anything, the succubus approached the president.

"Excuse me…" She called for the president.

The president turned her attention to the succubus.

"Look, seeing your cooking and how you enjoyed all of it. I want to be apart of it, but I don't want to join the cooking club."

The president only smiled at her.

"So, I'm asking you if you'll let me come and take part when I can?"

The smile on the president disappeared.

"So, you want me to not let you in the club, but to let you come and use the equipment that only members are allowed to use?" she questioned the succubus. "I don't even know who you are! I don't know your cooking skills! And you want me to let you come to the club and cook?! Not even join us?!" The president was getting heated.

"President Chizuru, calm down." A cooking member was trying to calm down the president. Calming down and recomposing herself, Chizuru saw that Kurumu had only taken one bite of the fish balls.

"Have you even properly tasted the fish balls? Not only have you not taken the time to properly taste the food! I can assume that you think it's not that good!?"

Kurumu was taken aback, Chizuru was correct about her not properly tasting her cooking.

"I'm not one to brag about my cooking. However, there are times when I know that my food is enjoyed by the people who eat it." Chizuru started to tell her. "You see, good food is like music you can taste, colour you can smell. There is excellence all around you. You need only be aware to stop and savour it." The students around Chizuru were in awe at her explanation of food.

Chizuru got another fish ball and gave it to Kurumu. "If you can identify the ingredients with your palate. Maybe I might consider you to join us on your terms. Come see me if you have the answers. Only then can I truly see if you are fit to use our club."

Chizuru walked back to the tables that her club used.

"Alright let's clean up!"

"Yes chef!" the cooking members declared.

Kurumu looked at the fish ball on her plate.

(I just need to identify the ingredients.)

Takashi went to Kurumu.

"Hey, you alright?" he didn't receive a response as the girl only walked away.

"K-Kurumu?!" Takashi called to her. "Did you want to join the cooking club. You know they would've accepted you."

"I don't want to join the club. I only want to use their equipment for myself."

"Why?"

"If I can use their equipment, I can cook delicious food for Tsukune. Because the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. Duh?"

"Wait, so you got roasted by the president of the cooking club, insulted her food and got a lesson in taste for nothing?" Takashi asked confused.

"You idiot, I didn't do it for nothing. Weren't you listening? I can cook good food. Even I know that, but did you think that they would just let me use their equipment without joining? All I need to do is prove that I can cook. Only then can I use their equipment." The succubus boasted about.

"I don't know, I mean the president managed to produce those amazing fish balls using the leftover parts. How can you beat that?"

Kurumu showed Takashi the small basket she was carrying. The basket contained cookies that she herself had prepared.

"Taste it…" she gave one to Takashi.

Takashi took a bite, even he was surprised.

"Wow, it's surprisingly good."

"What do you mean surprisingly. Tsukune liked them so of course you would like it too." Kurumu responded.

Takashi only looked at Kurumu in awe.

"You know, I thought that your body assets were the only good thing about you." Takashi told her which insulted the succubus. "But you really changed my view on you. Who knew that you would have this all planned out to make Tsukune like you?"

"I may not be that smart at studying. But when it comes to cooking." She genuinely smiled at Takashi. "I am a professional!"

"You know if you smiled like that around Tsukune more. Maybe you can get him to pay more attention to you."

"Tch, idiot! That's the reason why you're stuck at 1%. Saying stuff like that to a girl, no wonder girls don't look your way." She walked ahead after saying that.

The pair continued to look at different clubs. They had wandered into the sport club section, where many athletic students were showing off their skills. One particular club had a small gathering of students.

"Soccer club is here. This is where we dedicate our time in the world game of soccer. Which is called football in European countries." The leader of the club pronounced.

Another student was dressed in their soccer jersey and started to juggle the ball with his feet. The spectators did not see any point in sticking around and left.

"Really Riku! Out of all the soccer skills you can show, you chose to do juggling?!" The leader shouted.

"You know that I can't do any other skill with the ball aside from juggling, Kazuki!" Riku responded.

The two were arguing back and forth when Kazuki noticed Takashi.

"Hey first year, you want to join the soccer club?" Kazuki asked.

"Yeah, I'll join. I happen to know a bit about soccer." Takashi bragged.

"Really?" Kazuki could see through the lies. "Okay, give me your knowledge."

"…" Takashi opened his mouth, then closed it. He opened it again, then proceeded to close it.

"I knew it, you don't know anything about soccer." Kazuki said.

"What were you thinking, lying about a sport you know nothing about?" Kurumu whispered to Takashi. Further embarrassing the young boy.

"So, tell me" Kazuki started. "Why do you want to join the soccer club?"

"Honestly speaking, I don't have a reason. I did play a tiny bit when I was a little kid. So, I decided to go with something familiar to me." Takashi responded honestly.

"*sigh*, you're an honest kid, I'll give you that." Kazuki looked over to Riku. "But seeing as were low on players I guess we have no choice." Kazuki gave Takashi the sign-up form. "Sign up here and you'll officially be a member of the soccer club."

The boy wrote his name on the paper and was welcomed by Kazuki and Riku. Takashi turned to Kurumu.

"Do you want to join too, Kurumu?" He asked.

"The only club I'll join is a club where Tsukune is in. Other than that, I won't join anything else." She said as she left to go to the swimming club. The boy shivered at the thought of swimming.

---

At the swimming pool, Moka continued to get annoyed at Tsukune and Tamaos interaction. The swimming president would continue to get close to Tsukune through different means of exercises. Getting more frustrated, the vampire had enough.

"Stop it already! When it comes down to it. You just wanted to join the swimming club because you wanted to get closer to the girls, didn't you?"

This shocked Tsukune.

"I've had enough, I'm leaving" Moka started heading to the exit.

"Wait, it's a misunderstanding!" Tsukune swam to the edge of the pool. "Please understand I really wanted to swim with you! I…"

"What?!" Moka began. "The one who doesn't understand is you Tsukune!"

*Splash*

"Kya!" Moka felt the splash of water get on to her.

"Fighting is such an ugly sight! Though you're free to visit…" Tamao was the culprit who splashed water on her. "And it looks so childish. Whether you understand each other or not. How petty."

Moka was shocked that water managed to get to her. She left in a hurry, with Tsukune calling out to her. Tamao only watched the vampire leave while smirking.

Running to God knows where, Moka felt the effects of having water splashed on her.

(You fool!) The rosary lighted up. (Why were you so close to something like a pool?!) Inner Moka berated the outer.

"T-The rosary!" Moka looked to the rosary.

(Of course, this would happen if water splashed on you! Water resists supernatural energy; as the power drains out of your body, you will become paralyzed! Water is the weak point of vampire!)

Faint appearances of electricity appeared on Moka as she sat against a nearby wall.

(I, too inhabit this body, so put an end to such reckless behaviour! Do not let the likes of Tsukune make you do such things.)

"N-No! I'm sick of this body. Why can't I be like everyone else? I'm weird. I want to swim with Tsukune too."

She brought her knees to her chest.

"I wish I could be with Tsukune too…" she cried out.

Back in the swimming club. Tsukune was looking at everyone have fun. He felt sad that he couldn't enjoy the club with Moka and that she had left so suddenly. He saw Tamao and approached her.

"Um… Tamao…I" He bowed his head. "I'm sorry but I don't want to stay in the swimming club." He thought to Moka leaving.

Tamaos face got irritated. "Oh, what are you talking about? And just when I finally chased off that bothersome Moka. Isn't the fun just beginning?" Tamao had brought up her hands that had got webbing between the fingers. "Didn't I say it clearly? Either you have your heart stolen or you steal the hearts!"

"WAAAAAAAAAH" a nearby boy was trying to swim away from the girls. "Stop it! Why are you suddenly coming after me?!"

The boy tried to sim away from the girls, however the girls were already transformed into mermaids. They got to the boy and bit into his arms. Suddenly the boy started to look old.

"What the? That guy was bitten by them and tuned into an old man!" Tsukune exclaimed.

"HUHUHU! Don't think badly of us! Luring men into the water and sucking their life energy. This is simply the way of life." Tamao swam under water then launched herself into the air.

(Mer-Mermaid?!) Tsukune thought in shock.

"All of you should let us suck your life energy!"

"It's useless to resist, we're all invincible in the water!"

Don't worry, we won't suck your entire life away!"

The current swimming club members all said to the boys who attempted to run away. Some of the boys were unlucky and had already gotten their life energy sucked.

"Treating new members as food. I heard there were dangerous clubs out there, but I never thought this would be one!" A male student shouted. Only for him to fall victim to a mermaid and turn old. More boys had also gotten captured, as the mermaids had started swimming in circles, creating a whirlpool.

"What's going on…Mermaids!? Are mermaids really this scary?! We're being attacked, we're going to be killed!" the boy was looking left and right nervously.

He suddenly was embraced from behind by Tamao.

"Huhu… No need to panic Tsukune, it's fine. You're special." She got closer to his ear and whispered. "The truth is, I've had my eyes set on you since the entrance ceremony. Ever since then, I've spent all my time dreaming about you. It's just, You have such a yummy scent, just like a human, Tsukune!"

Tamaos mouth expanded, her teeth had become shark-like, and she attempted to bite him.

"Tsukune!" Moka had appeared and shouted out.

"Moka!" Tsukune called out.

"Whats going on?!" the vampire questioned.

Tamao looked back at the vampire.

"What?! Why are you back again?! Don't get in my way! You're nothing but a worthless monster that can't even swim!" Tamao shouted out.

(What? Can't swim) Tsukune thought.

He was then puuled in close to Tamao. Who looked like she was gloating about the vampire being unable to swim.

"I'm right, aren't I? It's a well-known story. There's nothing you can do is there? Water hater!?"

Moka had enough of Tamao and did the unthinkable.

*Splash*

Suddenly everyone was surprised. Moka had jumped into the water, much to the pleading of the inner one. After the vampire had dived into the water, there was a surge of electricity emanating from the area. A bright light was created, blinding those near it.

"What is this?! Moka?!" Tsukune had shouted out for the vampire.

"Whats going on? Why did Moka jump into the water?" A new voice was heard.

Tsukune looked to who was talking and saw that it was the blue-haired succubus.

"Kurumu!"

The girl was running to where Moka had dived from.

"Tsukune! Are you okay? If we don't hurry and save Moka, she's gonna die!" the girl told.

"What!?

"Don't you know?! Vampires can't go into the water! Because water drains a vampire's energy." Kurumu explained shocking the human. "Is she nuts jumping into the water like that?

After hearing that, Tsukune immediately swam for the vampire. He went underwater and swam to where she was sinking. Berating himself for not taking her feelings into consideration after constantly suggesting the swimming club.

(Moka! What have I done!?)

Tsukune had managed to swim to her position. He embraced her body and went for the rosary.

(Forgive me Moka!)

*CLINK!*

*SPLASH!*

A giant splash had occurred from the removal of the rosary and also caused another bright light to form. The bystanders who witnessed the light were blinded and covered their eyes.

"This is…! The supernatural energy. That's…!" Kurumu stepped back, remembering what the bright light meant.

The water was moving around, similar to the waves of a beach. A hand was reaching to the sky from underwater. The feeling of the bright light made those around stare in awe at the overwhelming power that was emanating from one specific spot.

"Th-This is the rumoured true form of Moka…But I never expected such a…" Tamao was watching in fear.

It was then that she appeared from out of the water. The silver hair, the red slitted eyes, the fangs and the presence of a powerful vampire. Inner Moka had awakened. Everyone around saw the true power of a vampire in their presence.

The vampire clenched her teeth. Electricity was still appearing around her body from the effects of the water.

"How Dare You!" She shouted at the mermaids. "How dare you treat me like this!?" she shouted again with ferocity.

Tamao looked at the vampire. Her fear subsiding knowing that she was in her weak zone.

"Come on…What is this? Why won't you get out of the way? I had my eyes set on Tsukune and I'm never going to give him up to someone like you!"

Suddenly rising from the nearby water was more swimming club mermaids. They all charged towards the vampire. The mermaids were swimming around inner Moka. Trying to intimidate the vampire.

"I'll get rid of you for good!" Tamao shouted as her fellow club members continued to surround Inner Moka.

"I don't know how strong you are but you are in our territory, a mermaid will always be victorious here! If you're going to beg for your life, now's the time."

Inner Moka, despite being surrounded and the mermaids swimming dangerously close to her, was unfazed. In fact, those watching were surprised, because she had a smirk on her face.

"Hmph…Coming from a low class fish that can't think about anything but food. Don't make me laugh."

That statement got into the heads of the mermaids. Two of which had breached the water and tried to attack the vampire. However, before they could get to her, Inner Moka had quickly launched herself high in the air, shocking those present. Though, Tamao had seen this as an opportunity for her.

"You're too slow…Though you talk tough, it seems you're totally weak!" She then swam under the water and breached it to reach the same altitude as Inner Moka. "You're a target in midair! DIEEE!" Tamao went in to attack.

"Mokaaa!" Tsukune had shouted out in worry.

Though his worry was not needed. As Inner Moka launched a straight right to the face of Tamao. Making her spit blood out of her mouth. The mermaid captain was shocked at the attack.

"Obviously…A mid-air fight is not a mermaid's territory?" Kurumu declared matter of factly.

"To take the bait and be caught so simply…you have to be a foolish fish. Now know your place!" Inner Moka had grabbed onto Tamao and used her as support to perform a spinning kick to the remaining mermaids, defeating them and knocking them out as she landed gracefully onto the dry ground.

The knocked-out mermaids were floating in the pool in defeat. Inner Moka was still feeling the effects of the water that it made her go to her knees.

"Moka!" Tsukune approached her worriedly. But the vampire was not having any of it from the human. She raised her hand-

*SLAP!*

And slapped the boy. A worried Kurumu approached and questioned what the vampire was doing.

"The other Moka cried…" Inner Moka began. "Due to her inferiority complex over being different from others, she blamed herself for not being able to swim. She's always had to live with being hurt in human society like that! Her glare got more intense. "The kind of men who are unable to think about anything but themselves have no right to come near me! Stay out of my sight Tsukune." The vampire marched away from the two.

---

Following the events that have happened, a few days have gone by. While Takashi was successful at joining a club. He was shocked that Tsukune had not joined one yet. Though Tsukune did not care about the clubs at this point. He was still sad that Moka had not even gone to class.

"Tsukune, you're taking this really hard. Do you really think that she would just stop being friends with us over your little argument." The younger Aono asked. But Tsukune was sad about it.

"You didn't see it Takashi. M-Moka she-she looked really hurt. It's my fault. I didn't think about her. All I cared about was myself. I was only thinking of how to impress her." Tsukune finished sadly.

Tsukune continued to think sadly about it. Even Takashi saw that Tsukune was taking it hard.

More days have passed and Tsukune had not gotten over it. He really did think that she didn't want to see him anymore. No matter how much Takashi tried to cheer him up, Tsukune would continue to mope. On the third day, Tsukune and Takashi were walking in the hallway when Nekonome had cooled out for them.

"Ah, Mr Aono. Just the person I wanted to talk to." She was confused as they both turned to her. However, Takashi had realised what happened last time and hid behind Tsukune for protection. This made Nekonome sweat drop.

"I meant Mr Tsukune. I noticed that you haven't decided which club you're going to join. The only ones from the class who are undecided are you and Ms Moka."

"Miss Nekonome…No, I haven't yet I-" Tsukune couldn't finish his sentence as Nekonome had interrupted him.

"Splendid! Then I wonder if you both wouldn't mind joining my club. The newspaper club…Nobody has joined, and it might get shut down!" she cheerfully explained.

"Newspaper club?" Tsukune questioned.

(it sounds like a quiet and calm club. But it isn't the same if Moka isn't there.)

"Well, I…" before Tsukune could finish answering, a familiar voice was heard.

"That's great. I'll join that club!"

Tsukune looked to the voice and saw that it was Moka. "Good Morning Tsukune, Takashi" the pink head greeted cheerfully.

"M-Moka!" Tsukune said in surprise. "I wasn't sure if you'd come back."

"I kinda slept through the whole time for rejuvenation!" Moka eased Tsukunes worries.

"See. I told ya that she wouldn't be that mad and leave." Takashi whispered to Tsukune. The boy smiled at seeing Moka being happy.

(Ah…yeah. Moka need to have a smile on her face every day!) Tsukune thought.

"Then you two have decided on the newspaper club, right!?" Nekonome eagerly announced as she held a welcoming sign to the two.

"I'm also joining!" Kurumu had shouted out as she appeared from who knows where. Everyone had smiles knowing that everything was back to normal.

---

R+V: Monster Within

---

As everyone was able to join a club for their school life. We now proceed to the next day, as usual Moka, Tsukune and Takashi were outside the academy, with the vampire wanting her usual taste of blood.

"Pleeeaase! Can I suck your blood?" The vampire had asked the two boys.

The two boys looked at each other. Both knowing that Mokas desire for blood is strong. While Tsukune is the usual suspect for blood, Moka loves his blood, but the vampire has been wanting to taste Takashis blood. Though the boy has always avoided her, leading to Moka thinking that he dislikes her, however that is not the case.

The vampire was still looking at the two boys. However, the two boys were having a mental conversation. An ability the two have developed when they were young.

(Look, she's waiting. Go for it Tsukune!)

(I've always been the blood pack for her! Why don't you do it?!)

(Because…I-)

Shocking to all of them. The younger Aono comically pushed Tsukune towards Moka.

"He volunteers!" the boy shouted.

Moka looks at Tsukune.

"Really Tsukune?" the vampire cutely asked.

"Ah…Well…you see…Maybe-"

The vampire embraced Tsukune and went for the bite.

*Capu!*

"AHH!"

Cupping her own cheeks. Moka was bliss from the taste.

"Ahh~. Thanks for the treat! Your blood really is the best Tsukune! I think I might get addicted to you."

(Again. Again I've had my blood sucked. Is this how I'm going to die?) The boy thought as he was lying on the ground.

"Ah Tsukune, you need to stop being like this." The other Aono told. But received a glare from Tsukune.

"I'm not even speaking to you." Tsukune responded.

Takashi helped Tsukune up, who gathered his breath. But his vision was taken from him by a blue haired girl.

"Tsukune~Today we start going to the club together!" Kurumu had embraced Tsukune into her breasts.

"Wah! Kurumu!" Moka shouted in surprise.

"I'm just so happy I can be in the same club as you Tsukune!" Kurumu happily continued embracing the boy.

(Waah! I can't breathe!) Tsukune thought.

Kurumu looked over to Moka smugly.

(HuHu, Tsukune is my destined one. So just watch me deepen my connection with Tsune into a lovely relationship. Because I'm not going to lose to you. Moka Akashiya.)

Moka glared at the succubus who also returned the glare. Sparks could be seen from the two gazes. Meanwhile, Takashi is trying to pull Tsukune from the girl.

(How strong is this girl!?) He thought, still trying to pry Tsukune from her.

*Thud!*

"Dang, you alright Tsukune?" the younger relative asked the boy, who was gasping for air.

"These girls are going to be the death of me…"Tsukune muttered out.

---

After having everything settled, the four had gone to the classroom of the newspaper club. Moka and Tsukune were wondering why Takashi was walking with them since he had already joined another club. The boy responded that he wanted to see what the newspaper club would be like. Though he was saddened as it was a normal classroom.

"What did you expect would be here" Tsukune asked.

"I don't know, maybe those big printers with many layers of paper coming out. Those spinning newspaper articles you see on TV. Oh, and journalists. I guess I was expecting the daily bugle."

"Takashi, you read way too many comics." Tsukune mutters in disbelief as Nekonome enters the classroom.

"Well then everyone, thanks for joining my club. So lets begin the club activities for the Youkai Academy Newspaper club!" she cheerfully expressed. The four students looked around and noticed that it was only them in the room.

"Umm Miss Nekonome, isn't there any other members? Is it really just the three of us?" Tsukune asked, while his relative was snickering.

"Don't be silly!" she responded.

"Excuse me!" a new voice was heard.

"See, here he comes. The only other member!"

"Man, I'm sorry! Here I am, late on the first day. The new voice belonged to a slightly taller boy. He had long hair that was held by a headband and wore the standard Youkai Academy uniform, he was carrying a bouquet of flowers.

"Greetings. I'm the president of this newspaper club, Ginei Morioka. Pleased to meet ya!" the now-named Ginei greeted.

Ginei looked at the new members. Specifically, to the new females who were seated.

"Ooh! Miss Nekonome told me about you, what a beautiful new club member you are! "You can call me Gin." Ginei took out a rose from the bouquet and presented it to the girls. "Ahh, red flowers are always suitable for such lovely ladies.

(What the…Looks like another personality to deal with.) Tsukune comically thought.

"Gin is the only 2nd-year club member. Just ask him anything you don't know about this club, ok?" Nekonome said.

"Heh, you can always count on me!" Gin announced while sparkling.

Kurumu got close to Tsukune. "Tsukune, I'm not good with this kind of flirty guy!"

"Well, I must be going. Since I have a staff meeting. Take care o the club proceedings Gin." Nekonome said as she headed for the door. Gin acknowledged her statement.

"HUH!? You're going already, teacher!?" Tsukune asked.

"Sorry. See you later everyone! Make friends with your senior, ok!?" Nekonome left the classroom.

"That's also my cue to leave. I was honestly expecting more from this club." Takashi sighed.

"Oh, we'll see you later then." Tsukune responded.

"You're leaving too first year?" Gin asked.

"Yeah, I'm not part of this club." Takashi got a proper look at Gin. "Frankly speaking, I'm getting a weird atmosphere from you."

"Hoh, I'm just that dashing that even you are intimidated by me?" Gin asked him.

"Yeah, that's what it is." He responded deadpanning. "Anyways, see yall." He then left to go to the soccer club.

With the non-members now gone. Gin had gone to the front desk, his face now sporting an authoritative look.

"Hmm, well let's see. First, I'll give you an explanation of just what kind of club this is. The goal of the newspaper club is to publish the school newspaper. Most of your activity will be reporting on all kinds of things within the academy and putting them in the newspaper."

*Slam!*

He slammed his fist into the desk.

"We'll be put into dangerous situations time after time for the sake of reporting! I'll tell you right now, this ain't going to be no easy ride! Once you've joined, you should prepare yourself."

The three members looked at Gin in awe.

"He seems like someone we can depend on right?" Moka asked Tsukune, who agreed.

Gin then was grinning and the authority-like expression was gone.

"Just messing with ya! Let's have some fun without all the strict talk." He showed a poster to them. "This is our poster ad, let's put it up on the back wall." He gave the girls the poster and Tsukune another one.

The poster was a picture if a cheerful Nekonome and text was written. Tsukune thought the poster was odd. Moka and Kurumu were on chairs putting a poster up on the wall.

"Is this high enough to stick the poster?" Moka asked.

"No, a bit higher." Gin responded.

Moka asked again, Gin told her higher. Tsukune looked at the president wondering that he has a flirty and a serious side. He then saw something shocking. Gin was crouching and looking up the girl's skirts.

(No way)

He goes over to Gin's position and sees the vision that Gin sees.

(He's totally panty peeping!)

"Gin what are you doing!" Tsukune runs into his vision. "Are you really making them put the poster up high on purpose so you can do this!"

"Huh? What are you talking about?" Gin responded in denial.

But Tsukune accused him. "Please don't pretend you don't know! You were just looking up their skirts, weren't you?"

"Heh, nonsense! There's no way I'm that kind of guy who'd do something so lame."

The girls had gotten down and approached the two.

"What's going on?" Moka asked.

"Oh, well this dude-" Gin pointed at Tsukune. "-Says he got an eyeful of your panties!"

""…!""

"WHAAA… No! It was Gin who-"

Moka and Kurumu were shocked.

"Wait, it's a misunderstanding! I mean I did kinda accidentally see your panties too, but it was Gin who…"

*SLAP! x2*

Tsukune had hand marks on both of his cheeks as the girls walked out in anger. A laughing Gin had approached the boy.

"HAHA…You really are a moron. Thanks to you, today's meetings is done for." Gin continued to laugh as he left the classroom.

---

Walking towards the soccer pitch, Takashi was fascinated that the grass was kept nice.

"Come to think of it, this is the only place with nice green grass." He voiced out loud as he walked across the pitch. He heard a ball being kicked at the soccer goal. The ball managed to hit the post and rebounded towards him.

"Wham!*

*Thud!*

The soccer ball managed to hit him in the stomach. Making the boy keel over in pain.

"Oh sorry, I didn't know there was someone here." The person approached and apologised.

"Oi Rikuu! What the heck are you doing practicing shots?!" Kazuki had approached the boy. The two saw Takashi on the ground with swirls for eyes.

"Oh Damn! How hard did you kick the ball?! For a guy as short as you, you have some power."

"I didn't kick it that hard! It rebounded off the post and somehow went straight to him!"

"So, you're telling me that the ball magically went from the post to that kid's stomach?"

Riku blankly answered Kazuki's question.

"Yep!" Riku nodded.

"Will you guys just stop arguing and help me!" The injured boy shouted to the two.

"Oh yeah. Right."

The two got over to the boy and helped him up.

"Sorry about that." Riku apologised.

The three went to the gym storage room where another person was already there. This new person had his hair held back by a headband. He was taller than both Kazuki and Riku. At first look, this person would be identified as a thug. Hearing footsteps approaching, he looked towards the door to see Kazuki and Riku enter. The two saw the scary face but knew the person didn't mean it.

"Ahh, Riku, Kazuki hows-" surprisingly the persons voice was soft and calm. He cut himself off when he saw the injured boy.

"Did you guys hurt another first year?" He asked the two while smiling.

"Okay, I know what you're thinking, but this first year is actually a club member." Kazuki cleared up.

…

"Wait! We actually got a member!?" the person asked.

Kazuki only smirked. "HmHmHm…" he chuckled. "Of course we did. Who do you think I am!" The captain declared.

"Our pathetic Captain." Riku insulted. Shattering Kazuki's ego.

"R-Riku…" Kazuki looked at Riku comically angry. He composed himself. "Anyways, Takuya can you heal the kid?" Kazuki pointed at Takashi. The boy had his hand on his stomach.

"Oh, yeah."

The now named Takuya responded by putting his hand on Takashi and applied a green aura that would heal the boy. Takuya got up and smiled at the boy.

"Now you should feel much better."

Takashi was touching his stomach. The pain he felt was gone, he was surprised that something like that existed in the world.

"You know, your human form is pretty weak if you get hurt that easily from a ball." Takuya chuckled. Surprising the boy.

"W-Well, it is a human form." Takashi nervously responded. He was going to continue when Kazuki spoke first.

"Alright then!" he shouted. "With the newest member now healed. We can formally welcome him to the club."

Both Riku and Takuya went to Kazuki's side. Riku had his arms spread out like he was trying to fly. While Takuya had outstretched his arm as if pointing at him. He was giving him a thumbs up. Kazuki stood between the two with his arms crossed and a large smirk. From Takashi's point of view, he saw the three as if they were standing like power rangers. An imaginary wind was blowing the brown, blonde and light brown hair of the three respectively.

"""Welcome to the Soccer Club!"""

The three announced, as behind them was a bright light sparkling their appearances. Kazuki only smirked at that.

"Heh. Well, what do you think? That's how we're going to welcome the new members."

Takuya tried to smile at Kazuki, but his smile was faltering. "You're going to make us do that for every new member we got?"

Kazuki nodded. "Of course! As Captain of the soccer club, it is my duty to welcome every new member we have."

"And just how many new members we got?" Riku asked cheekily. Knowing the actual result, causing Kazuki to tense up.

"Guessing from your reaction, I'm guessing you didn't get much?" Takuya sassily questioned. Which cause Kazuki to fall over.

"I-Its not my fault! N-No one likes to play soccer!" Kazuki comically cried.

"Then that means that we need to get the leftovers." A new female voice was heard. Entering the room was a girl dressed in the school's tracksuit and had her black hair tied up in a bun. "I just got the list of the first-years who didn't sign up. So, it's our job to recruit these first-years." She announced.

"U-Usagi."

"Usagiiii!"

"Welcome, Usagi!" Kazuki, Riku and Takuya welcomed Usagi to the room. Usagi looked to see Takashi on the ground and pointed at him.

"You first year! You're going to go out and recruit these first years that are on the list." She gave the list to him.

"Eh?! Me!?"

"Yes! Consider this your first task as the newest member." Usagi smiled confidently. The smile disappeared and comically she got angry. "Now get out there and get us more members!" she grabbed Takashi and launched him outside the room.

"Uwaaaah!" the boy shouted as he was launched.

"There it is. Usagi's tough sister side!" Riku shouted out happily.

"Now you three." Usagi turned to the three. She then brought out a deck of Uno cards and her roughness had disappeared into a happy girl. "Let's play Uno!" she cheerily shouted.

(Even though I'm the captain. I feel as though Usagi just took my position) Kazuki thought comically crying.

---

"Owow…Did she really have to throw me out like that?" He spoke to no one in particular as he rubbed his bottom. The boy got up and looked at the list.

"Okay, let's see here." Reading through the list. Takashi noticed that the list had the names and places of where the first years would be hanging out. "Alright, first is Daisuke Makoto. First year from class 1-2. He usually spends his time near a vending machine. So that's where I'm heading. I could actually use a drink." He said aloud as he walked off.

After looking around for 10 minutes. He arrived at the vending machine where the supposed Daisuke would be at. He saw no one around-

"Well, I guess I can stop for a drink break…" he happily said.

when suddenly-

"Kyaaahh~!"

He heard the sound of girls cheering when a certain person was approaching the vending machine. The boy who was approaching had light green hair, yellow eyes, wore the uniform without the blazer and wore glasses. The boy looked like he owned the world, but a tick mark appeared on his head.

"Shut up! You girls are fucking annoying!" the boy shouted. Surprising Takashi. Though the girls nearby were happy to be shouted at by the boy.

(Eh! Shouldn't boys like him enjoy getting the female attention?)

"Hey." The boy said. "You getting a drink or what?"

Shivers went down his spine. The boy was shaking from the intense stare the boy was giving him.

"Uh-Uh Y-Yeah. Yes! I'm getting a drink!" Takashi shouted. Though the boy was unfazed.

"Then hurry up then!" The said annoyed.

As Takashi pushed for his drink, he was going through the list that Usagi had given him. As he grabbed his drink, he stood next to the machine and pondered to himself.

"*slurp* Ahh. Now then. Where the heck am I going to find this Daisuke Makoto." The boy continued to drink.

The other boy bought his drink but heard what Takashi said. He approached him and gave him a glare, which frightened the boy as he looked at the slitted eyes.

"Oi. Why are you looking for Daisuke?" the boy intimidated.

"W-W-Well y-y-you s-s-see I-I-" he could barely speak. His nervousness made him drop his drink. He suddenly closed his eyes and shouted at the boy. "I'm looking for Daisuke so that he can join the soccer cluuuuub!"

This surprised the boy as his glare disappeared but only an annoyed look stayed on his face. Takashi noticed the change in the boy. The boy went back to the vending machine and bought another drink. He grabbed it and held it in front of him.

"Eh? For me?"

"Take it. I made you spill your other one."

"Th-Thanks" Takashi took the drink. The boy grabbed the papers that were held and looked through it. He then walked off while giving back the papers. Takashi was surprised at the action; he watched him walk off. The boy turned around and looked.

"Well, aren't you coming?" the boy said, surprising him.

"Eh?"

"You need more members for your club, right?"

He looked at the papers then back at the boy. Snapping out of it he went to the boy.

"You might as well cross off the first one." The boy said while sipping his drink.

"Wait?! So you're-?"

"Yep." He put down his drink. "Names Daisuke Makoto. I'll be joining the club." He smirked.

A few minutes have gone by since finding Daisuke. Takashi was looking at the list while Daisuke was at another vending machine.

"Ok, so we got Daisuke…Next on the list is Kouta. Who apparently hangs out…Wait a minute? This can't be right." Takashi looked at the list again. "Kouta hangs out near the lake?"

"You are talking about Kouta Takahiro?" Daisuke asked, returning with another drink, which the boy nodded at. "He's in my class. Actually, he and his brother are in my class." Daisuke said as he opened his drink and took a sip. "I think both haven't joined any clubs yet?"

"Then what are we waiting for? We need to get them ASAP!" Takashi got into a running stance and was about to go. When he remembered… "Where is the lake?" He asked as Daisuke sighed at this.

---

Daisuke had led them to the lake.

"Okay I see a lake. Where are the brothers?" Takashi had asked.

"I don't know."

"What!? Aren't they in your class!?"

"Yeah, but that doesn't mean I always know where they are." Daisuke responded casually.

*Splash!*

"Ha-ha! See Souta! It's easy to catch fish with your hands." A voice was said in the distance.

The two headed to the source. They saw that Kouta was not at the lake but at the stream that leads to the lake.

Takashi looked at the list and realised that it was misinformed.

"Lake my ass." Daisuke expressed.

Near the lake was a river stream. There were two boys there, one was knee deep into the water while the other was sitting near a tree watching the other. The two boys were tall, about six feet tall, had large builds and appeared to be twins with the only difference being their hair. One near the tree had dark grey while the other had golden yellow hair. Near the grey-haired boy there was about three salmon fishes.

"The beauty of being able to fish like this is that we don't have to pay for food in the cafeteria. We save Money Souta!"

Souta only looked at the other with a deadpan expression.

"You do realise that the food is not that expensive at the cafeteria, Kouta?"

This statement annoyed Kouta.

"Shut Yer Trap!" He responded

In the distance, the two were being spied on. Takashi and Daisuke were behind a log while watching the two.

(If I'm correct. Souta is the one sitting near a tree and Kouta is the one in the water fishing.)

"Those two are the Takahiro brothers. They're twins who mostly hang out with each other." Daisuke stated. He looked to his acquaintance. "So how are you going to recruit them?"

"I was just going to ask them." He stated and went to the two. Daisuke looked at him in disbelief as the boy walked over.

"Umm excuse me!" Kouta and Souta looked at the approaching boy.

"My name is Takashi Aono. I am a current member of the soccer club and am looking for students who haven't joined a club." He continued walking. "Have you two joined any club?"

"Ne Souta, What's wrong with this kid?" Kouta asked calmly.

"He wants us to join his club, Kouta." Souta got up from his position and walked over to him. The height difference can be seen between the two, which made the shorter boy get nervous from this.

"Look. We're not going to join any club. We prefer not to join clubs because we like having free time." Souta responded to the boy and turned to walk away.

The next action surprised everyone present. The boy went to the ground and grabbed Souta's leg.

"Hey, what the-"

"Please! I need you two to join the club! I'll do anything! Anything!"

Watching from the log, Daisuke commented. "This idiot."

Meanwhile, Kouta realised that Takashi is desperate.

"Hang on, Souta." The tall twin called. "If he will do anything. Then maybe he can play that with us?"

Souta looked at Kouta. "*sigh* You really want to play that?" He questioned. Souta looked at the comically crying boy. "Hey, get up. We'll join your club if you play a game with us."

Takashi got up while wiping his face. "R-Really?"

"Yeah." Souta answered.

Kouta had led him to the river. "We're going to play a game called Go Fish!"

"Wait, isn't that a card game."

"For humans. But for us, Go Fish is a game where one group challenges another group to grab the most fish from the river." Souta explained.

"Wait, if it's a game between groups, then how am I going to play by myself?" Takashi asked.

"Just ask your friend over there to join." Kouta commented.

The three looked to the big log where Daisuke was. Daisuke was annoyed that he would have to join the game. He did his best to hide, but it was broken when his companion came over.

"Hey Daisuke, we're going to play a game. Come on."

(I didn't really want to play) Daisuke thought annoyed.

With the four now gathered, Kouta and Souta are on one side and Takashi with Daisuke are on the other side.

"Okay!" Kouta cheerily shouted. "We are going to play Go fish. Monster Edition." The twin continued.

"The aim of the game is to grab the most fish in 1 minute." Souta ruled. "And we have to catch the fish using our hands. However, you can use your-"

*Splash!*

"You can use your monster form." Daisuke commented calmly. His hands were partially transformed into that of a white tiger. He also had a fish in his hand.

Takashi looked at the boy in awe. Daisuke saw him and smirked.

"It's not my first time playing Go fish." He looked at the twins in a smug manner.

"No way."

"Looks like this game will be interesting." Kouta exclaimed while Souta smirked at their opponents.

The four got into their respective positions and all ran towards the water. Souta and Kouta immediately partially transformed their arms into bears. While the human was just going with his usual arms. Each person was going at it.

"Come on you stupid fish!" Kouta shouted as he was grabbing each fish.

"Kouta, grab them as they're swimming. With the current." Souta mentioned.

"I gotcha-Woah *Splash!*" Takashi fell into the water. This action was repeating for the human.

Meanwhile, Daisuke was swiftly grabbing fish.

"3, 4, 5, 6, 7" The boy grabbed each fish with precision.

The boys continued playing the game. Kouta listened to Soutas advice, he managed to get more fish than his usual technique. Souta was using the same technique and he too managed to grab quite a few fish. Daisuke used his abilities to grab the fish as quick as he can. However, Takashi was still having trouble grabbing the fish himself. The game was coming to an end.

"Last one. Ora!" Kouta shouted as he grabbed his final fish.

"Muda!" Daisuke shouted as he grabbed his last fish. "Foolish fish. You think you could escape me. Dai-" Daisuke realised what he was saying and quieted down.

"Hah!" Souta grabbed his last one.

"Come on. Get in my hands" Takashi made one final attempt at grabbing. "Haaaaah!" He managed to grab the fish. This excited him and he put it on the pile.

"Time!" Souta shouted.

All 4 boys were panting and drenched from the game. Kouta had one knee on the ground, Souta was standing, Daisuke had kneeled, and Takashi was sitting on the ground.

"*pant*,*pant* Okay, *pant*, Let's see how much each person got." The others nodded and went to their respective pile.

Kouta and Souta had a combined score of 40, each of them had managed to grab 20 fish each. Daisuke and Takashi had a score of 39, The former managed to grab 38 fishes while the latter only managed to grab 1.

"*sigh*, 39 fishes. We only grabbed 39 fishes!" Annoyed again. Daisuke was yelling at the boy.

"Shit. Souta." Kouta exclaimed. "That guy managed to get 38 fishes in the span of a minute. Just what type of monster is he?"

Souta calmly looked at Daisuke. "While it is impressive. They still lost." He expressed.

Takashi only sat on the ground, taking what Daisuke was saying. The twins were about to walk off when a new voice was heard.

"Takashi! Where are you?" A female voice called.

The boy perked up when he heard the familiar voice. He saw the vampire walking.

"Moka! Over here!" He waved to her.

Hearing the voice, Moka went over to Takashi. The boy noticed that there was a somber look on her face.

"Hey what's wrong?" He asked.

However, before he could get an answer. Kouta was already at Takashi's side.

"Hey Takashi, you didn't tell us that this girl was your friend." Kouta said while looking at Moka. "Nice to meet you. My name's Kouta."

"Oh, nice to meet you. My name's Moka." She responded.

"Good lord, here we go." Souta commented as he walked to Daisuke. "This guy can't resist girls."

Daisuke only looked at the action, remembering how most girls were when he is around. Remembering that annoyed the boy.

"So Moka, Do you have a-" Before Kouta could ask her a question. Takashi pushed him a bit away.

"Hey! Don't get all chummy with Moka. She's, my friend!" He declared.

"Why can't she be friends with all of us?"

"No! She's my friend only. You guys can be acquaintances."

"Acquaintances? Yeah right."

The two were going back and forth with each other. Takashi grabbed Moka's hand and ran away with her.

"She's, my friend! Mine!" He shouted like a child as he ran with her.

Moka only smiled at the action. Though a part of her was happy that he sees her like that. Even if it's like a jealous child. The vampire needed that after what happened.

Kouta watched the two run away. He smiled as he walked to Daisuke and Souta.

"Ne Souta. I think we should join the soccer club."

Souta and Daisuke rolled their eyes at the younger twins comment

---

Now that the two were away from the others. The boy was wondering why she was looking for him.

"So, Moka. What's up?" He asked.

"It's about Tsukune."

(Ugh. It's always about Tsukune. Why can't you worry about me? I haven't even had a drink. You could offer me something.) He thought while holding back his frustration.

"Ah before that." As if she was reading his mind. Moka took out a lemon fizzy drink. "Here you go."

"Wow Moka! I really needed something to drink." The boy grabbed the drink and opened it. Mid-way through drinking it, he realised that he was just thinking about it, but shrugged it off.

"Ahhh~. Nothing like a nice cold drink after a long day's work." The boy expressed.

"So…. About Tsukune."

"What about him?"

"Has he…ever been a peeper."

"Peeper?"

"Like…has he-" Moka was getting flushed while asking. "Peeped on girls."

"Hahaha! Tsukune a Peeper!?" he laughed at that. "Oh Moka, you and your jokes."

"I'm serious Takashi!" Moka shouted bashfully. "Has he ever peeped on girls p-panties before?"

"Hmmm." He pondered. "There was that one time he got caught looking at this lady. Though it wasn't his fault, that lady had something like a beehive on her head."

"Oh. Okay."

"That's weird for you to bring this up. What happened?"

Moka proceeded to tell Takashi everything about what happened. How Gin told them that Tsukune peeped on the two. Tsukune admitted it, and the girls slapping as they left frustrated.

"Wait! Tsukune saw your panties?" The boy asked.

"Y-Yes. He saw it. I never thought Tsukune would do something like that." she expressed.

"So now what. You going to punish him?"

"I don't know." Moka thought about it.

"Look, if you're going to punish him. May I suggest the silent treatment? It's not a lot. But it is something that can kinda hurt him." Takashi smirked.

(Tsukune you bastard. Peeping on girls. It's best to be on their good side. How can they protect us when you're peeping at them?) the boy thought.

Moka didn't respond to him. She thought about what to do.

Before any of them could speak.

"There you are." Daisuke had appeared. "Look. These two said they would join the soccer club."

"Provided our mademoiselle comes to the club at times." Kouta had interjected and pointed

"Mademoiselle? What are you, French?" Souta questioned.

"It's a polite way of calling a lady." His twin responded smugly. Making Daisuke annoyed at the two.

"Look, can we just go to the club already. I can't stand being around these two."

"Oh yeah, sure." He looked at Moka. "Well, Moka, just do what I told you to do. Then Tsukune should know that what he did is wrong. I'll see you tomorrow." He and the rest left the vampire and headed to the club.

"Ne Takashi. What were you talking about." Kouta asked.

"None of your business Kouta. Just follow me to the club." Annoyed, The human responded.

---

Back at the club. We see the second years continuing to play Uno.

"Uno!" Riku had shouted at Kazuki.

"What!? I just placed my card down!?" Kazuki responded.

"Doesn't matter. The rules state that if your second to last card touches the pile. You immediately need to pronounce Uno." Usagi stated. "So, you have to pick up 4 cards."

"I hate this stupid game." Kazuki commented.

"We're back! And as told, I brought some new members." Takashi had entered with the new club members. Though his presence was very little compared to the game.

"HaHa. Pick up 4 cards Riku." Usagi stated.

"HMPH. Futile. I put a draw 2 on your draw 4. So now-" Riku stood up and pointed at Kazuki accusingly. "You have to pick up 6 cards, Kazuki!"

"NOOOOOOO!"

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

"UNO! I WIN!"

Kazuki, Riku and Usagi shouted respectively. Usagi was the winner of the game.

"Ahh, what a fun game. Oh Takashi, you're here." She announced. Her expression then changed to a cheery one. "And I see that you brought new members. Welcome! Welcome!"

Usagi was welcoming the new members. Each person was shaking her hand.

"Oooh, two tall twins and an angry pretty boy. What interesting people you brought." Usagi examined the new members. The three new members just watched Usagi examine them.

Takashi handed her the paper that she gave him earlier. At that moment, Takuya had entered, he was with a group that also looked like first years. He handed Usagi another paper, which made the girl really happy.

"I managed to find more first years who haven't joined the club." Takuya told her.

The boys who were with Takuya varied in appearance and size. One of the boys looked similar to Takuya but was shorter and less muscular than him. The other boy was slightly shorter and had his collar covering his mouth area, only his eyes could be seen and his long blonde hair.

"By the way. Everyone!" Takuya had voiced out as he walked to the similar looking person. He wrapped his arm around the boy "This guy right here is my little brother Yuuki, so please treat him right." Takuya smiled.

Yuuki was a bit embarrassed and looked over to the blonde guy. "I knew this would happen. Didn't I tell you, Hachi?" Hachi only looked at the brothers and didn't say anything.

"Now, now Yuuki. He only is like that because he loves you. Right?" another boy had said cheekily. This boy had dark green hair, slanty eyes that are closed since he is always smiling, and a small thin build. One would think that he resembles a snake.

"Shut up, Katsu!" Yuuki had shouted.

As the three were interacting with Takuya. The two remaining boys were looking at the tall twins.

"Woah. Look at how tall they are. Such height would be amazing to have." One of the boys said. This boy is one of the shortest members but a thin build too. His brown hair is unruly styled and brown eyes. He also had goggles on his head. "Look at that Shiro, don't you wish we were that big?" the boy questioned to the other boy who was a little bit taller.

"Tch, I'm comfortable with my height, Tatara." Shiro had expressed.

"Wait aren't you 150cm?" Tatara asked, to which Shori had grabbed him.

"I'm 160, damn it!" Shiro shouted. Shiro was another short person. Despite his short stature, he has a fairly muscular build. His hair is styled to be ruffled upwards to make him look taller. Though there is a tiny tuft of hair that falls over his forehead, complimented with his brown eyes. "But, these guys are pretty tall."

Before the twins could comment, a clapping noise was heard from Kazuki.

"Alright everyone. Now that we have enough members. Would the new guys please form a line outside on the Field?" He instructed.

Outside, the new members were gathered in a line. Infront of them was the current members. Kazuki was walking back and forth between the new members, as if he was a sergeant looking at the new recruits.

"Alright Everyone!" he shouted. "As you know, you are all here to join the soccer club. Thanks to both Takashi and Takuya for gathering more members." He praised. "So what I want from each one of you is your name and preferred position." After saying that, he went to each member individually. First up was Daisuke.

"You! Whats your name!?"

"Daisuke Makoto, preferred position." The boy thought for a minute. "Goalkeeper, probably." He said without caring.

Kazuki moved to the next.

"You! Whats your name!?"

"Souta Takahiro. Position defender."

Before being asked to pronounce himself, Kouta spoke first.

"Kouta Takahiro. My preferred position is also defender." The boy cheekily smiled.

What started from the younger twin continued with the rest. Katsu spoke next.

"Katsu hideyoshi. Midfielder."

"Hachiro Genjo. Left midfielder."

"Yuuki Asikawa. Left defender."

"Tatara Yasu. Striker.

"Shiro Ryuunosuke. Also, a Striker."

A worn out Kazuki got to the last member, Takashi could see that Kazuki had a depressing aura around him.

"And you…What's your preferred position?" Kazuki asked hesitantly.

"T-Takashi. Takashi Aono. Umm, I don't know my preferred position. Maybe Midfielder? I'd play any position you want me to play." He smiled.

"Looks like we got an all-rounder." Takuya commented.

"Either that, or maybe he just doesn't know anything about the positions." Riku talked back.

"Alright!" Kazuki shouted again. "Now that we have a full squad." He looked over to Riku and Takuya. "Boys, if you will?" the boys got into the welcoming position they gave Takashi earlier.

"""Welcome to the Soccer club!"""

The current members announced. Some of the members sweat-dropped at the 3, while others were happy at the welcoming.

"With introductions out of the way." Riku started.

"Let's begin the training!" Usagi Shouted in a cheer.

As the 3 current members began training the new members. Usagi was looking at the schedule ahead to see what the future for the soccer club is.

(Finally, a full squad. We may be able to win that tournament) She thought.

Day 1 of the club had come to an end for the first years. Many were happy about the clubs that they joined. Others used their clubs as an excuse to leave class. All in all, clubs were a success for the students.

---

The following day, Tsukune had met up with Takashi, before heading to class. The younger Aono was in a bit of a fit when he heard what Tsukune had done the day prior.

"I can't believe you Tsukune! You know what we are and you're playing with fire. How can you do something like that?! If the girls are mad at you, how would they protect us? How would they protect me?!" the boy ranted.

"I-I didn't do it on purpose!" Tsukune embarrassingly shouted back.

"Please enlighten me." His relative responded.

"Okay, look. Gin told us all to place posters of the club. The girls were placing their posters on the wall and Gin was telling them to put it higher. He did that so he could see their, you know-

"Their panties. Go on." He answered.

"-So I went to tell him off and he turns it against me. Which leads to now."

"Tsukune, out of the two of us. You're supposed to be the smart one. How did you get this against you?"

"Well…I…sort of…" Tsukune didn't want to reveal that part. "I…kind of got a look." He finally let out. Which lead to the other Aono to grab him by the shoulders and faced the ground.

"T-Takashi?"

"I don't know if I should be angry, jealous or a bit happy. So I'm going to do all of them."

*Smack!*

"Ow, what the-"

"Dammit Tsukune, I hate you." The boy then embraced Tsukune. "I'm so proud you got a look." He got off Tsukune.

The two continued walking when they saw Moka ahead of them.

"Moka!" Tsukune called out.

The vampire walked ahead quicker. Tsukune called out to her again. Which made the vampire turn around.

"Hi, Takashi." She greeted as a way to get back at Tsukune.

Tsukune was confused that she greeted Takashi.

"L-Look, Moka I…" Tsukune tried to resolve, but Moka was not hearing it.

"I…I don't like dirty guys!" She shouted as she walked off.

Tsukune stood more confused but continued to resolve the issue.

"W-Wait, Are you still mad!? It was an accident!"

Moka continued with the silent treatment. She looked over to the other Aono, who had given her a thumbs up.

(Good job Moka, that should teach him.) that's when he realised that the two were getting further away from him.

"Wait for me!" he shouted catching up.

As he was running to them. He saw a certain second year having a freak out.

"No way, you've got to be kidding me, Tsukuneeee!?" Gin had shouted out loud.

(I probably should be worried.) He thought. (But, it's probably nothing.) the boy continued to catch up.

---

*Gong-Gong-Gong*

The bell had signalled for the end of class.

"Hey Takashi, want to grab food." Tsukune asked.

"Can't, I got club activity. Why don't you go with Moka."

"She won't let me talk to her. She's been ignoring me all day." Tsukune thought about it then looked at Takashi suspiciously. "Come to think of it. You used to do that to me when we were little. Did you say something to Moka?" he questioned.

This question made his relative freak out.

"W-What are you saying? I haven't said anything." He denied. "Oh will you look at the time, I need to go to the club. Bye!" He ran out the classroom.

"Hey, don't leave!" Tsukune called, but it was too late.

---

The boy was still running.

(I can't let him find out that I told Moka to ignore him.)

He didn't pay attention to his running that he didn't realise he was heading to another room.

"Ohh Nooo!" he shouted

*Slam!*

He ran into the door and fell with swirly eyes.

"I wonder if Tsukune is free? Then we can-" Kurumu had exited. She saw the boy on the floor. "What are you doing?" she flatly asked.

---

I don't know how you keep getting injured. But the next time you get injured, I'm not treating it." Kurumu voiced as she wrapped bandages around the boy's head.

"Look, it's not my fault."

"So why were you running?"

The boy was silent at that.

"Idiot." Kurumu muttered out.

With the boy now bandaged, Kurumu walked off.

"Hey, where you headed?" He asked catching up.

"Tch. If you must know, I'm heading to the cooking club."

"The cooking club? So, you're going to get your palace tested."

"It's Palate!" Kurumu corrected. "And yes, I'm going to show them my skill."

The two walked to the cooking club. They came to a room which on the outside looks like a normal room. However, upon entering, there is a massive change. The whole classroom looked more like a restaurant. Specifically, a restaurant best known as hell.

"Woah!" Takashi expressed.

"It looks like an actual restaurant." Kurumu expressed too.

The two looked around the classroom. Seeing the different items that it consisted of. Nice fancy chairs, circular tables decorated beautifully, silverware of high quality and at the back of the room was a kitchen. One half was coloured red, while the other was coloured blue.

"Wonder why the colours are there?" the boy questioned.

The two approached the kitchen and looked around. High quality equipment was placed within the kitchen. Kurumu was in awe at the setup of the kitchens. However, before the two could continue looking, a certain female president had entered, though she was conversing with another person.

"Look, Kazuki, I understand that you want healthy food for your club, but you need to understand that our ingredients isn't the cheap stuff." She said.

"I understand that Chizuru. All I'm asking for is some healthy snacks. Can't you help an old friend?"

As the two continue to converse, Takashi and Kurumu hid.

"Hey, why are we hiding?" The boy whispered.

"I don't know. You hid first, so I followed you." Kurumu whispered back.

"I hid because Kazuki is out there. I'm supposed to be at my club by now, but you dragged me here."

"I didn't drag you here! You followed me here!"

"I don't ca-"

*Clang!*

Takashi's arm accidentally hit a frying pan to the floor. Getting the attention of both Chizuru and Kazuki.

"Kazuki transform." Chizuru told him.

Kazuki transformed into a black dog and slowly started prowling towards the kitchen. Chizuru was crouched next to him and moving with him. When the two got to the kitchen they see both Kurumu and Takashi. Kazuki had morphed back into his human form while Chizuru stood up.

"You again?" Chizuru stated.

"Takashi? What are you doing here?" Both Chizuru and Takashi stated.

"Umm…Well…You see…" Takashi was stuttering to find an answer.

"Ugh, you idiot." Kurumu told. "I came here because you wanted to test my palate." Kurumu declared. She pointed at Takashi. "This guy followed me here."

"Only because you injured me." He muttered under his breath. "By the way, this is some club you got here." He complimented.

Chizuru sighed and walked towards the backroom.

"Kazuki help me with some plates." She told Kazuki as the two went to the back.

A few minutes later they came back out carrying a few plates.

"Okay. Were going to test out how good your palate is." She pointed towards the dishes. "These plates are top notch gourmet dishes that I created earlier today. This is your test of palate. While cooking is an important skill for a chef. The Palate in my opinion much more important. When cooking you need to taste your food, ensuring that the taste is the best for the customer."

Chizuru gave Kurumu silverware to taste the dishes.

"Now, eat." She spoke while also slapping the hands of Kazuki and Takashi, as the two were looking at the dishes with mouth-watering looks.

On the table was a fondue, pate, caviar and a kebab. Each dish had other ingredients to act as the snacks when dipping into the paste like dishes.

(This girl assumes that she is a good cook. But the Palate is the most important aspect of a chef. While these dishes look good to the untrained eye. They're not what they seem to be. The fondue is made from spray-on cheese, pate made from hot dogs, mock caviar from a catfish and a kebab that contains meats from a tv dinner.) The cooking president thought to herself while chuckling.

Kurumu looked at the plates in front of her. While all of it looked appetizing to her, she knew that Chizuru would have done something to the. She grabbed one of the snacks and dipped it into the fondue and ate it.

(Fondue tastes weird. It feels like I'm eating spray on cheese.) as she was chewing, she looked at Chizuru who only smiled.

Next, she tasted the pate. Her expression turned into one of shock.

(This is hot dogs!) she mentally shouted. She was about to say something when Chizuru held a finger.

"Taste everything before telling me." She advised.

Listening to the advice, Kurumu tasted the next dish, which was the caviar. She grabbed a spoon and put some on a cracker, which she then ate.

(Caviar taste too fishy. There's no smoothness and no buttery flavour.)

The last dish was the kebabs. Kurumu grabbed one kebab and ate it. The first thing she noticed was that it tasted different.

(This tasted as if it was frozen.)

Having finished the test. Chizuru approached the girl with her hands behind her back.

"Before you tell me. I want you to see one thing." Chizuru gestured to Takashi and Kazuki. "Now you can eat."

The two immediately started eating the food.

"Man, this is some gourmet food!" Kazuki happily shouted.

"I agree." Takashi agreed.

Chizuru looked at Kurumu. "Now tell me what you think."

Looking at the boys eating. Kurumu realised that they didn't noticed the actual taste.

"The fondue is nice, but it tasted like spray cheese. Pate was made from hot dogs. Caviar is not as good as the other caviar I tasted, there was no smoothness or a buttery flavour. The Kebabs tasted as if they were frozen." She responded.

Chizuru didn't say anything, but motioned Kurumu to follow her. Kazuki noticed the girls leaving.

"*munch*, Hey, where do you think those two are going? *munch*"

"I don't know, *munch*, but I do know that they're missing out on some good food."

As the boys were continuing to eat. Chizuru and Kurumu came from the back, and each were carrying a plate.

"Congratulations…" Chizuru said to Kurumu. "Your palate is up to standard. Unlike these two." She pointed at the two boys.

"Huh, did you say something?" Kazuki asked with his mouth full. That's when he noticed the plate the two girls were carrying. He gulped when he saw them and immediately stopped eating.

"Oi Kazuki, why did you stop?" the boy continued to eat.

"I remember why Chizuru always tests palate to new members." He mentioned to the boy. "Were not being tested, but our palate is already terrible."

"Why's that?"

"Look at the plates." Kazuki pointed.

Takashi saw the ingredients that were used to make the "Gourmet" dishes.

"I don't know what you are talking about. If the pate is made from hot dogs, I don't mind. Hot dogs are nice." Takashi nodded.

"You two are pathetic with food. I can only imagine how you cook." Chizuru sighed shaking her head.

Kurumu only laughed at that.

The cooking club members then entered; Chizuru realised that they have to clear up.

"Okay, you passed the palate test." She said to Kurumu. "You're welcome to use the kitchen when you want. However, I want you to come by and show me your cooking and at times help out with cooking." To which the blue head agreed to.

"I didn't catch your name."

"Oh, my names Kurumu Kurono."

"Nice to meet you Kurumu. I'm Chizuru Sugihara."

After the introductions, the three had left the room.

"Well, looks like you're able to use their kitchen." Takashi had commented but bumped into Kazuki. "Hey, why did you stop?"

Kazuki had pointed at a strange situation.

"Hey, look over there. Some first year got tied up and locked in a storage room." He snickered. "Let's go check it out."

When the three approached, Kurumu notice that the first year was Tsukune.

"Tsukune?" she exclaimed and went to open the door. "What are you doing here?"

"Gin framed me. He told me that club activities were held outside and forced me to look into the girls locker room." He said, which surprised everyone.

"It's true. I saw it all." A new voice was heard. It belonged to Riku.

"I saw this guy be framed by that bastard Gin."

"We don't have any time. We need to look for Moka."

"But before that, Riku what are you doing here?" Kazuki had questioned his fellow member.

"Ah, well you see, I was just passing by when I saw what unfolded."

"By passing by you mean you were going to go peep too?" Kazuki questioned the boy, who rubbed that back of his head and tried to run away, but was caught by Kazuki.

"Stop, we need to find Moka!" Tsukune shouted. After saying that, everyone went looking for her.

---

On the rooftop of one of the school buildings, Moka had been encountered by Gin. The vampire wanted to believe that Tsukune was innocent about the peeping. Even denying that Tsukune would peep when Gin had shown her "evidence" of him peeping into the girls locker room. This had angered the second year as he tried to get closer to Moka. Moka denied his advances on her that she pushed him into the entrance wall, which created smoke from the impact.

"Haha…Are you serious? How admirable." Gins voice was heard through the smoke. The boy walked out as if nothing had happened.

"I'm falling for you harder and harder, Moka. But I told ya…right? On the night of the full moon, my self-control weakens."

Gins teeth had morphed into fangs, his face began to grow longer as his hair was spread throughout his body.

"When my emotions excite me so much. I suddenly lose control over myself!" he shouted as his true form was revealed to be that of a werewolf. "I'll make you my woman by force, Moka Akashiya!"

"Kyaaaaa!" Moka had shouted in fear.

Gin had tried to grab Moka, but was unable when a voice was heard.

"Wait!"

"..!?" Gin knew who that voice belonged to.

"You…Weren't you locked up!?"

Tsukune had appeared with Kurumu flying above him. This eased the vampire.

"Tsukune! Kurumu!" she called out.

"How did you escape?!"

"It was all thanks to me." The next few people to appear were Riku and Kazuki. With the former talking.

"I knew something was up when there were no girls in the locker room. I saw them put this guy into that storage room." Riku explained.

"Damn you Riku!" Gin shouted in frustration.

"Guys, did you find Moka-Waaahhhhh!" Takashi entered last, who freaked out at seeing the werewolf.

"Back off, all of ya!"

(So this is Gin's true form? A wolf! Which is just like his personality) Tsukune thought as he tried to get to Moka.

"I've need to save Moka"

"Tsukune! Wait, it's dangerous! A werewolf and a vampire are both equally strong monsters! Even if she does attack him directly, her chances are…" Kurumu could not finish her sentence as Tsukune was already running close to Moka.

The two had their hands reaching out to one another, when Tsukune was hit in the leg.

"Don't even think you have a chance, Idiot!"

"Tsukune!" Moka cried out.

Though Tsukune did get hit, he managed to fall just right.

*CLINK!*

And unhook the rosary.

Everyone that was in the vicinity were suddenly engulfed by a bright light and pushed back by a strong burst of energy. As the rosary had come off, the pink haired Moka had become the silver haired powerful vampire.

"W-What power." Gin said in disbelief.

"The rosary on Moka's chest came off! Was that by chance!?" Kurumu expressed.

"I can't see a thing."

"What's happening." Riku and Kazuki voiced out.

"Oh no!" Takashi expressed in fear. "She's here!"

"Red eyes…Could it be?!"

"No way, she's a…"

"Vampire!"

Gin had expressed which was followed by Riku then Kazuki. The three second years were shocked that the famous Moka was a vampire.

"This is…This is Moka's trues form!" Gin expressed in shock. The shock was then replaced by happiness. "Hahahaha! Awesome! Even after transforming, you still are beautiful, Moka Akashiya!"

He proceeded to lunge at the unsealed Moka. Who only looked at him seriously.

(Even as a wolf his personality doesn't change) Tsukune thought.

"Don't mess with me" Inner Moka stated as she went for a strike.

However, her strike did not connect, as Gin had suddenly disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Just where are you aiming?" Gin announced. Surprising everyone present. "If a vampire's power is strength, then a werewolf's power is speed! And the strength of the moonlight also strengthens my speed!

Gin suddenly started appearing and disappearing from everyone's sight.

"What incredible speed!" Kurumu expressed in shock.

"On the night of a full moon, a werewolf is invincible!"

(I can't see him…! So this is the speed of the werewolf!?)

"Give it up! As long as the full moon is out, it will be my victory!" Gin shouted again as he went for another attack.

"Mokaaa!" Tsukune shouted in worry for the vampire.

Though the attack did not connect. As Moka had grabbed his hand

"What!? I stopped? Could it be?

"Hahaha! No way!" A laughing Riku was heard.

Kazuki and Takashi looked towards him. That's when Kazuki remembered one fact about werewolves.

"That's right! Under the full moon, werewolves speed is a forced to be reckoned with. But take that away!" The three looked towards the sky and saw that the moon had disappeared behind clouds.

"Oh shit! The moon is hidden behind clouds! I can't use my true powers of the moon isn't out!"

The grip on Gin tightened more. Surprising him as he saw the malice in her eyes. He pulled his hand away from her.

"Wait! Don't be so hasty! I can still beat you with or without the moonlight! I'll show you what the natural energy of a werewolf is!"

Gin proceeded to go in with another attack.

"Just be a good girl and become my woman, Moka!"

*Wham!*

The attack again did not connect as Gin was kicked in the head. He was launched to the railing of the roof. Which held him for a second, but broke due to the impact being strong, making him fall to the ground

"GYAAAAAAAAA!"

*Thump!*

"Weakling!" Inner Moka voiced as she looked at the broken railing. "Did you really think someone like yourself was fit to be with me? Learn your place."

Tsukune was about to say something when Inner Moka spoke first.

"If you're going to make a pass at me. You had better prepare your body first." After saying that, she grabbed the Rosary and placed it on, turning back to the pink-haired Moka.

"You know Riku. I think this might be an interesting year." Kazuki had expressed.

The following day. News of the peeper had been spread throughout the school.

"Extra! Extra! Extra, from the newspaper club!" Moka announced.

The newspaper club were distributing their first issue. Many students had grabbed it and read through it. Many were surprised that the peeper turned out to be the head of the newspaper club.

"Here you go." Tsukune handed out another issue.

"Thanks for reading the Youkai Newspaper club issue." Kurumu also handed out.

A small crowd had gathered nearby.

"I was there you know. I saw the whole thing. I even mentioned about it in the issue. So, you better read it." Riku had told the students as he promoted the newspaper. "Though if you want an uncensored interview. You can read it on my blog. It's listed at the end."

" . /Rikuthoughts?" Kazuki questioned the boy.

"Yep, that's the one." Riku confirmed as he continued telling the story.

Back with Tsukune.

"Though I never expected that this would become our newspaper club's first job! I mean really…" Tsukune expressed cheerily. He looked towards the bulleting board. "Right Moka?

"Umm Tsukune? Where are you trying to look?" It was not Moka who answered, but his relative, who was helping hang up more posters on the bulletin board.

"…!"

"I don't swing that way Tsukune." Takashi cheekily told him.

"Wh-Wha I-…" Tsukune stuttered in shock.

"Tsukune! Are you trying to peep on Takashi!?" Moka asked in an act of shock.

The boy could not answer as he was trying to comprehend what he was about to do.

"I mean…If you really want to…I can…" A blushing Takashi was jokingly talking.

"NO TAKASHIIIII! I DIDN'T MEAN TOOOO!" Tsukune shouted in embarrassment as he ran away. While the others were laughing at his expense. His departure managed to put some issues towards the ground which read:

[Aono Tsukune innocent: The actual perpetrator in the peeper riot was Ginei Morioka from class 2-1. Exclusive interview with Riku inside the edition.]

Managed to upload the second half of the chapter. Let me know how you see the second half as there might be too much going on, or maybe I'm just overthinking everything.

As usual, review, follow or read to your contempt.
