"Based on the timeframe versus my average speed. I would say I became free when you defeated that ghost."

Yukari smiled charmingly at her dear Tsukune. When he didn't respond like she hoped. She moved on to her best puppy dog eyes.

The boy was glad she was safe, but quite confused. He had only woken up a little while ago. In the nurses office surrounded by his friends. He tried to figure out what the little witch seemed to be eagerly hinting at. He wished she would just tell him.

"You know what Tsukune, your real dense at times. I guess I will do it myself this time. I just escaped a terrible kidnapping. I know you gave everything you had to save me." Without any further delay the twelve year old jumped in the bed. Then hugged the sweetest boy she had ever met with all her might. "Thank you so much, idiot!"

At first the martial artist stiffened. However, he soon returned the heartfelt gesture. "Glad I could help, Yukari."

The other girls watched the beautiful moment. Jealousy didn't even enter their minds. Their friend was safe and that was what mattered.

The youngest girl's heart was beating rapidly. To her surprise so was her male friends. She grinned as their tempos matched. That was when she realized her rivals had been lulled into a false sense of security. This was probably her best chance so she couldn't pass it up. She moved with a speed and smoothness that surprised her. In an instant she stole Tsukune's lips without the slightest remorse. Then the jealous cries began as she backed off before someone could drag her away. 'When I'm old enough I will give myself to him in earnest. However, for now it's a lot of fun to pretend I'm ready. The chaos alone is priceless.' She winked at him as Kurumu started to chase her.

A few days later...

The succubus and younger witch happily passed out copies of the latest Yokai Gazette. The had several special features on the human world. Though Tsukune didn't have the heart to tell his monster friends how outdated the information was.

"This is interesting."

"Wow they have some really good black and white photos."

"Come and get your Yokai Square. Act now and receive free bikini photos of our top female members."

"Dude, they have full color pictures!"

"Free babe shots I'm in!

As the line rapidly dropped for the Newspaper Clubs' work Kurumu became immediately annoyed. "Those shameless hussies! How dare they use such a brilliant strategy to take our readers!"

"Okay Kurumu, I'm going to ignore that backhanded compliment for the competition. How can their be two Newspapers on such a small campus?"

The blue haired girl was about to march over and give the four opponents a piece of her mind. However, to her shock Honoka was already facing them down.

"Excuse me, we are an officialy approved club by the student council. Do you have permission to do this?"

The black haired teenager that was obviously in charge smirked sinisterly. "Of course we have approval." She held up a document signed yesterday by the student council. "We are the Super Newspaper Club. We simply couldn't stand by while your lame paper was being distributed."

"Oh, alright then." The Kirin lost a bit of her steam at that revelation. However, there was more than one reason she approached the group. "Fine then I insist you release your enslaved Kohai. As their Senpai you shouldn't subjugate their free will. To my knowledge slavery is illegal in Japan."

"You bitch, how dare you tell me how to treat my servants!" Keito dropped all pretense out of pure rage. 'How did she know?' The woman transformed into her monster form and wrapped her dark haired enemy in steel like web strands. "After you join them you'll worship me as they do."

"My, aren't we an arrogant spider." The Kirin grinned at the creatures overconfidence. "Hey Yukari, please use your panacea magic on those poor girls. It should purge the mind controlling venom. I'll take care of this pest."

"You got it Honoka! Kurumu keep the others off me while I fix them individually."

"With pleasure!"

"Who do you think you are little girl? I am not some kind of vermin. Don't underestimate me!" Keito shouted with irritation.

"You're mistaken. I'm not the one that doesn't know what she's getting into." Then she exhaled a jet of flame from her nostrils. The web burned away in seconds. "I don't even need to transform to deal with the likes of you." From that point on not a single strand of webbing touched the S class monster's body. She flew around behind the Spider Woman. A full force headbutt drove the enemy into the ground with an audible crack from the creatures exoskeleton. 'If I had unsealed myself that would have killed her. Maybe I was too kind, but it seems like there's more to this story.

"Honoka their better now!" Yukari proudly told her classmate.

"Thanks a lot my friends. Please take them to the nurses office. Then meet me back at the clubroom. I'll gather the others on my way."

"Sure thing Honoka. I think you just ruined your reputation as a soft monster though." Kurumu patted her friends back.

With one hand the Kirin lifted the unconscious spider onto her shoulder. Then she headed away from the fight to gather her friends and hopefully get some answers.

"Looks like the girl pissed you off pretty good." Mizore observed the unconcious monster in her human form. "Want me to freeze her before she wakes up?"

"I have a very low opinion of people that use others like property. So it really didn't take much." The thought alone still enraged Honoka. "Please do, but leave her head exposed. I have some questions for her. However, When she wakes everyone be on alert. She can shoot webs from her mouth."

"What about a blindfold?" Tsukune asked.

"She already knows who we are so that won't do much."

The Kirin responded.

"Too bad we couldn't find Gin or Ruby. I bet her magic would have a solution." Moka expressed sadly. 'Normally the woman would come running at her masters call with joy. It really was weird how absent she was.'

"Let's go ahead and get started. I'm sure Yukari and Kurumu will arrive soon enough." With a nod from the others at the boys words. The vampire nomnated herself to wake her. After carefully stepping behind the captive on ice. She woke her with a solid slap to the back of the head.

Keito's first reflex was to shoot a strand at the first person she registered. Which happened to be the only male in the room. He dodged with such skill and grace it surprised her. She blushed briefly as her fetish for warriors overode her foggy brains reasoning. Quickly she regained her composure and glared. Her next words dripped spite. "Oh, what do we have here a bunch of weaklings! Looks like they think they can question me of all people!"

Honoka was genuinely confused at what her empathetic ability told her. This girl had lust in her heart for her and Tsukune-sama. She smiled in a sultry fashion at this revelation. 'Perhaps a unique form of information gathering just presented itself. Plus she could have some fun as well.' She stretched in order to show off her assets. The prisoners eyes were glued to the display. "We really need to get the air conditioning fixed. Don't you think so, Tsu~ku~ne." She unbuttoned the top three buttons of her shirt as she spoke. Then she winked at her best friend.

He wondered at that point if Honoka-chan really was spending too much time with Kurumu. He soon noticed the way their captive turned to him expectantly. Having rationalized why his friend was acting so out of character. He removed his blazer top with a flourish. His tight undershirt perfectly framed his athletic build.

Mizore's ice lollipop smashed on the ground as she gaped. 'I don't understand why Tsukune is doing this. However, I hope he doesn't stop.'

Moka felt her pulse pounding at his display. 'I want to see how many places he'll let my lips touch.'

In that moment the little witch and succubus arrived. They had the werewolf in toe. When his eyes met Keito's his entire demeanor emanated rage. "Why the hell? Do you have someone from the School Safety Commission here?"
