Chapter 4
Tsukune was sleeping in the bed inside his room of the males' dormitory, laying on his stomach because of the wound received after the lizardmen' attack. In fact, after staying a little in the school's infirmary, where his friends kept him company, he got helped by Mizore to go back to his dormitory.
The yukionna didn't let Kurumu and especially Moka touch him or accompany him too, as she was still very angry with the vampire girl for letting Tsukune get hurt like that. Moka was obviously sad for what happened, and didn't argue with her, except for Kurumu that was told from the boy to stop it because he didn't want them to fight between each other.
So after greeting them, he had gone back to the dormitory with Mizore's help, blushing and saying no when she suggested that they could cuddle together. Despite that, she hugged him sweetly before leaving his room and he had dinner with some rice and vegetables before going to sleep.
While he was sleeping, the snow girl was observing him from a tree she climbed on, which offered a good view on his room. She blushed and smiled at the sight of him, wishing to be in the same bed as him.
'Tsukune is so cute when he sleeps, but I would like to cuddle with him. Because of Akashiya Moka he's now wounded, so I have to be the one to protect him. He entrusted me his secret about being human and I'm the oniy one who really understands him.', she thought, changing her smile into a serious expression. She didn't want to let anyone hurt him again. Anyone.
Besides, she was still angry with the pinkhead for not doing anything to prevent Tsukune's wound, even if she was told that the vampire couldn't use her powers normally as other monsters. Though, she suddenly noticed that her love was moving in his sleep as if he was hot, which worried her.
As the tree was quite near to his open window, she jumped forward and entered inside, seeing that he was sweating. Using her right hand, she placed it on his head to refresh him by using her cold body temperature, which managed to relax him.
"Tsukune.", she said with a low voice, smiling and blushing. She even took off her t-shirt before getting in his bed, hugging his head against her chest. Even if it was against the school's rules, she didn't want to leave him alone, so she was going to spend the night with him to her joy.
The following morning, the boy's alarm clock rang and he began to open his eyes, which widened at seeing a pair of breasts covered with a striped bra. "What's-Ehh?!", he exclaimed, blushing a lot when he saw Mizore's face.
"Good morning, Tsukune.", she told him, turning the alarm off.
"M-Mizore, what are you doing in my room and in my bed?", he asked her, still flushed.
"I was looking at you from outside and saw that you started sweating. So I entered in your room and used my body to cool you off hehe.", she told him, blushing and giggling.
"S-so we cuddled together?"
She nodded and hugged him more against her chest, making him blush more. "Y-You can't stay here. If they find you, you will get in trouble.", he told her, getting his face off her chest.
"Tsukune, I'm happy you care so much for me.", she told him, hugging him again but with her head on his chest this time.
Her display of affection made his heart beat faster, and hearing that sound made her happier. Still, he broke off the hug to take her t-shirt from his chair and gave it to her.
"I don't mind if you look at my body.", she told him, putting on the t-shirt.
"It's not respectful towards you. Exit from the window and wait for me then.", he told her, still flushed and looking away. Understanding that he wanted to walk to school together, she smiled more and gave him another hug before leaving his room through the window.
'She was observing me from that tree while I slept? She's really obsessed with me and she even cuddled with me.', he thought, still flustered while he brushed his teeth before having breakfast and wearing his uniform. The bandages on his back made sure that shirt didn't touch the wounds during that thankfully.
Once he was ready, he took his bag and left his room to take the stairs and go to the ground floor and then outside of the building. Upon seeing him, Mizore gladly clung onto his arm, leaning her head on his shoulder while he blushed.
The boys that saw them gasped and felt envious of him, but the two of them started walking anyways, ignoring them. Tsukune was used to walk together with Moka and Kurumu, though, this was the first time he walked with a girl immediately after leaving his dormitory; a girl that he spent the night with moreover.
Still, the yukionna's happy expression was really cute to his eyes, so it made him smile as well. His blush was due to the contact with her soft chest too, the same one his face was hugged against to. "Tsukune, I'm so happy we're walking together like this. It feels like we're a couple.", she told him happily.
"It feels nice for me too.", he told her, scratching the back of his head.
"Your warmth is so comforting too.", she said, hugging his arm tighter. It was incredible how she could be cold with other people but then so sweet with him, still he hoped she could get along better with Moka and Kurumu too.
The two of them were near the school's entrance after some minutes, ignoring the rumours made by other students. "T-Tsukune? Mizore-san?", suddenly said Moka, who was waiting for the boy near the tree.
"Good morning, Moka.", he told her, sweatdropping because of the situation.
"Stay away from him.", said the snow girl instead, glaring at the pinkette and making her frown.
"Good morning, Tsuku-"
A happy Kurumu got stopped from using her signature hug on him by Mizore that blocked her with a hand on her face. "Hey, why did you stop my lovely hug for him?!"
"You won't press your breasts againt his face. He prefers mine.", retorted the purple haired girl, pressing her chest against his arm while he blushed and gasped.
"Girls, don't fight. Let's just go to class, ok?"
His intervention defused the potential discussion, so the 4 of them just proceeded to walk inside the building while chatting together. Mizore didn't let the vampire girl and the succubus get close at all to him, continuing to hug him possessively and making her rivals pout.
She even unwillingly detached from him after they reached their class, where some classmates chuckled at the sight. Some males were envious of the young man for having 3 cute girls interested in him instead, but once Nekonome arrived, they paid attention to her lesson like everyone else.
The young human felt some annoyance in his back after walking earlier, relieved that there wasn't any PE lesson later. Even if he would avoid to do physical exercise anyways, since the nurse told him to do so. During the lesson, he noticed Mizore glancing at him sometimes and smiling when their eyes met, which made both of them blush.
'I know it's because I didn't protect him that he got hurt, but I don't like how close they are.', thought Moka, frowning before their interaction. Kurumu was more jealous instead, wishing that Tsukune's eyes were on her instead of the yukionna.
Her jealousy increased when she saw how he was impressed by Mizore reading a passage from the book after being asked by the teacher, as he found it pretty relaxing and nice to listen to. The succubus was already annoyed with having the vampire as love rival, but after Mizore appeared, she got more annoyed and feared that her Destined One was getting closer and closer to the yukionna. It was highly possible that she would get extremely jealous if she were to find out that Mizore cuddled with him in his room.
The first lesson and the following one went well until lunch time, so the snow girl clung onto her love and asked him to go to the cafeteria together. Obviously, Kurumu and Moka joined in, so he walked through the corridors with 3 beautiful girls tugging on him.
"Umm, can you let me drink some blood later, Tsukune?", asked him a bashful Moka.
"Don't you dare.", told her the yukionna, glaring at her coldly. The vampire got scared and apologized for the question, with the boy making a sad expression instead.
The group reached the cafeteria and took their lunch trays before sitting at a free table, where Mizore kept being awfully close to him. "If the food is too hot, I will cool it off for you.", she told him, smiling.
"There's no need but thank you haha.", he said, sweatdropping.
"Here Tsukune. Say "Aah.", said Kurumu instead, trying to feed him sweetly. The gesture made him blush, but also the snow girl tried to feed him.
"Stop interfering with our future relationship!", exclaimed the angry succubus.
"Tsukune is only mine."
"Girls, don't fight.", he told them instead, managing to stop them with some headpats. That did its work and made both girls blush, even if Moka pouted because she wanted a headpat as well.
To his chagrin, he heard the other students spreading other rumours between them, making him wish that they minded their businesses for once. In comparison to a normal school, Yokai Academy's students were quite uncontrollable and violent being monsters, and after what happened the previous days, the human boy was more worried about himself and his friends.
Though, his worries got quiet when Mizore leaned her head on his shoulder again, hugging his arm affectionately under the jealous eyes of her rivals. They also pouted when they saw him smiling and blushing, wishing that he smiled at them in the same way.
'He looks happier when she gives him affections.', thought Moka, frowning. Tsukune was her first friend inside Yokai Academy and the first human that didn't hate her for being a vampire, so seeing him closer to another girl made her quite jealous. She also felt still responsible for what happened to him last time, understanding why the yukionna was at the odds with her.
Once lunch time ended, the group went back to class to follow some history lessons, with every student chuckling at seeing the teacher turning accidentally into a plant monster. Tsukune got reminded of the male students that transformed by mistake at night in the dormitory, sweatdropping because he also remembered how they envied his "perfect human form" in their words.
In the moments he got attacked by some yokais, those monsters perceived his smell very close to a human, bit they never found out his secret because he was saved by his friends. Those moments also made him wish to be able to protect himself and them somehow, even if he didn't like violence.
Anyways, he stopped his train of thoughts when he got asked a question from the teacher, so he stood up and answered correctly, getting praised by her. The yukionna smiled instead, staring at him for the umpteenth time; she couldn't help herself because she really adored looking at him. He was her soulmate.
Kurumu was visibly annoyed by how she looked at him, but especially because she always got in her way to get closer and lovey-dovey with him. Having another rival for his heart was quite vexing for her, but it was Mizore's behavior to be more irritating.
In fact, after the lessons ended, the succubus got irritated because her rival kept holding on Tsukune's arm while going to the club's room. "I can't wait to write other articles together, Tsukune."
"Haha, I know you love what I write, but it's nothing of special.", he told her, scratching the back of his head.
"They're really special for me.", she told him, blushing and smiling.
"They're special for me too, Tsukune!", said Kurumu instead, latching onto his arm with her prosperous chest that made him blush more.
"Hey guys! Having fun with the girls again, huh, buddy?", said Ginei, greeting them when they entered in the room.
"He prefers me.", were Mizore's words, who hugged his arm more tightly and pouted.
Sighing, the human boy calmed them down again before sitting at his desk to start writing new articles. Moka sat next to him, keeping a worried expression since earlier.
That expression didn't pass unobserved by him, so he said to the other club members that he would get a drink at the vending machine outside with the vampire, making her eyes widen. "I will come along. I don't want anything to happen to you.", said Mizore, getting serious and clinging onto him.
"We will be just outside and be back soon. I promise you.", he told her, putting his hand on her head another time. Ginei whistled at the scene while Kurumu and Moka felt jealous. On the other hand, the snow woman blushed and accepted to wait, even if she didn't like the idea of him being alone with the pinkette.
So he left the room with Moka to go outside, searching for a hidden spot. "Tsukune, why we-"
She stopped her sentence when he looked at her and showed his neck to her. "Here, drink some of my blood.", he told her, smiling.
"Ehh? A-are you sure?", she asked him, blushing immediately.
"It's ok. I promised you I would let you drink my blood when you need to."
His kind words made her blush more and smile, so she hugged him and brought her lips to his neck to bite it slightly and drink some blood. She got surprised when he reciprocated her hug, whispering in her ear, "Don't feel responsible for what happened to me. You're an important friend for me."
Such gesture and such kind words moved her very much, so her eyes started to water; she was glad that he didn't hate her for what happened with the lizardmen, as the only idea of being hated by him terrorized her.
"I-I'm sorry you got hurt. If only I could use my powers freely…"
"It's ok, you protected me already when you defeated Saiou and then Ginei in his werewolf form. Besides, the wound gets annoying only when I lean on my back haha.", he told her, caressing her head and blushing.
"Thank you, Tsukune. I'm so happy you were my first friend here. But what do you think of Mizore? She keeps being very hostile with me, Kurumu and other people."
"I'm sure that she will start trusting you and everyone else more. I-It's obvious that she likes me a lo-no, too much, but she's not a bad person. Trust me.", he said, sweatdropping and still smiling.
"I see. Ah, I'm glad that you're hugging me back hehe. It feels so nice."
"I wanted to cheer you up. I don't want to see you sad.", he told her, still flushed and scratching his cheek.
She smiled and blushed more at hearing that, and they went back to the club's room then, with the yukionna sitting next to him immediately after giving the stink eye to Moka that sweatdropped.
In order to avoid a fight between the girls, he hid the bite mark on his neck with his shirt's collar, blushing because Mizore was awfully close to him. Still, the happy face she had while they talked about what to write together was really cute to his eyes, so he ended up smiling too.
Ginei grinned in front of that scene, but Kurumu gritted her teeth because she wanted to be at Mizore's place. Moka stayed calm instead, as she was still happy for being hugged by her love earlier. His reassuring words made her believe that the yukionna would begin to trust her and other people more and they eliminated the sense of guilt that haunted her.
"How is it going-Ara, you're really close to Aono-kun, Shirayuki-san!", exclaimed Nekonome upon entering in the room.
"It's because I love his articles and writing with him."
"Hehe, I'm glad to hear it. Aono-kun is one of my kindest students, so you would make a great couple with him."
"S-Sensei?!", was his reaction, blushing while Mizore giggled.
"W-What?! But I like him more! You should root for me, Sensei!", , complained Kurumu, crying and pouting.
"No, Tsukune is mine!", exclaimed Moka on the other hand.
"Nya? You have 3 girls that like you, Aono-kun?", asked a surprised Nekonome, with Ginei burst out laughing at the scene. The human boy was very flustered, scratching the back of his head. Still, he also found the situation funny and smiled, liking how funny the newspaper's club could be together his friends.
Some hours later, after finishing to write the next issue, every member left the school, so Tsukune was now walking together with the girls. "Next time we could go to make scoops together, Tsukune.", told him the succubus, pressing her chest on his arm.
"No, I will go with him in that case.", said Mizore, frowning.
"You just want to steal him from me!"
"It's a fact that he likes me more. I would even get in a bath with him if he wanted."
Such bold sentence made him and her rivals blush and gasp. "N-no, you can't do that! That's too shameless!", exclaimed Moka, tugging on him too.
"No, I will take a bath with him! He's my Destined One!"
"I told you he prefers me."
"Calm down, everyone. I don't want you to fight.", he told them, making them stop. They also apologized and he assured them that he wasn't angry, sighing in relief in his mind.
'Having 3 monster girls in love with me is quite troublesome.', he thought while still walking with them towards the dormitories. When they reached them, the girls greeted him before going to the females' dormitory and he went to his instead.
Taking the elevator, he reached his floor and entered in his room, taking off the school's green blazer before deciding to hit the books to study. Though, a sudden knock caught his attention, and his eyes widened when he glanced at the window: there was a smiling Mizore outside.
"Mizore, what are you doing here?", he asked her when he opened the window.
"I thought we could study and have dinner together hehe.", she told him, giggling.
"We can't do that. If they hear you, we will get in trouble.", he warned her, grabbing her shoulders.
"As long as no one finds out, we're safe. I love spending time with you, after all.", she told him, blushing and still smiling at him.
His heart beat faster when he heard that; he knew that she loved him very much and being with him, but she really surprised him. Even if it was against the rules, he took her hand and brought her inside, making her giggle happily.
"Promise me to not tell anyone about this, ok?", he told her seriously, grabbing her shoulders.
"I promise you. You're far too important for me.", she said, hugging him with her face on his chest. Smiling, he reciprocated her hug before sitting with her at his desk to study maths together by resolving some problems.
As expected, she sat very close to him, but he was used to her incredible clinginess at this point. Plus, as he told her days ago, he liked spending time with her, even if that didn't mean that he wanted her to be with him in his room too.
"Tsukune, did you and Moka talk about something when you were alone?", she suddenly asked him.
"Well, I assured her that she didn't need to feel guilty for me. She was still worriex about it, so I wanted to cheer her up.", he explained.
"Did you kiss her too?"
"Ehh?! No, I didn't.", he replied, flustered.
"Thank goodness. I was afraid that she would steal you from me."
Those words and her arms huggin his right one made him redder, but also concerned. "Mizore, don't be angry with her. I know you don't trust other people, but you saw that she, Kurumu and Ginei-senpai are good people."
"I'm just worried that she or the succubus take you away from me. I don't want that.", she said, getting clingier. He hugged her back and patted her head to ease her up, which worked as she smiled like before.
And since it was almost dinner time, he suggested to cook together, getting a big yes from her. "I will eat only some vegetables and ice cream if you have it. I don't want hot food."
"It's fine. We will season the vegetables to make them tastier.", he told her enthusiastically. Such enthusiasm made her smile too and they proceeded to make dinner, but he sweatdropped when he saw how she cut the vegetables.
Blushing, he took her hand and helped her, causing her to get flushed too. "It feels like we're a couple hehe."
"I want to avoid that you cut your finger by mistake.", he said nervously.
"We could take a bath-"
"It's better we don't!", he cut her off, more agitated.
"But it's ok if you see me naked. I would strip here for you too~.", she told him, looking into his eyes.
Gasping, he quickly shaked his head to not imagine her naked, saying that it wasn't necessary. She frowned and nodded reluctantly, as she really wanted to take a bath with him. Once the dinner was ready, they sat down in front of each other and began to eat, with her giggling while savoring the vegetables.
"They're so good, Tsukune. I will prepare them like this too next time hehe."
"That's because we prepared them together. It's a waste you can't eat hot food, though; these noodles are really tasty."
"Snow women's bodies can't stand hot temperatures and things and fire is out natural enemy. But Tsukune's warmth is something I really adore.", she told him happily.
Scratching the back of his head, he blushed and chuckled before her statement, but he could admit that having dinner with her was awesome. They also washed the dishes together later and he told her that she could take a bath first if she wanted.
"Are you sure you don't want to go in together? We could wash each other's backs."
"We can't do that. Still, w-we could sleep in my bed again.", he suggested her. Her icy eyes shined and she happily agreed, so she went to his bathroom with some hearts around her.
'Maybe she overly likes me, but she's really cute and gentle. I just hope that anyone discovers that I let a girl get in my room, since the rumours about me are already enough.', he thought, remembering what people said about him being the one that beat the ork and Ginei up when in truth it was Inner Moka who fought them.
The students thought that he was a yokai that disliked fighting and kept his true form hidden for that reason, but they would be shocked if they found out his secret. A secret that he revealed only to the yukionna after Moka because she showed him how much she cared for him and she helped him to not feel the loneliness that hauted him.
Before going to his room, he even told her from outside the bathroom that she could wear his sweater after the shower, getting a happy OK from her as reply. The idea of making her use his clothes made him blush, but it was better than letting her sleep like the day before.
"Thank you for the bath and the sweater, Tsukune. It smells like you~.", she said once she exited from the bathroom.
"You're welcome. I will go to wash myself too now.", he told her, flustered due to her words.
The yukionna giggled and went to hsi room, putting her books and his away in their bags and cleaning the desk for him. Her joy to spend another time with him in his bed was immense, and since he let her enter in his room, it felt like they were lovers.
'Only I can understand him better than Moka and any other girl, so I will be his girlfriend. Only me.', she thought, blushing and enjoying his smell on the sweater while laying on his bed. She was afraid that the pinkette kissed while being alone with him, but after she assured that it didn't happen, she was determined to be his first kiss.
Perhaps she wasn't angry with Moka like before, but she didn't want to let her or Kurumu have the boy. Tsukune was only hers and no one else's and only she could understand his heart and his feelings.
And speaking of him, he exited from the bathroom too with a t-shirt and pants as pajamas and went to his room, where he found her in his bed. "I'm overjoyed for cuddling again with you hehe.", she said, hugging him when he sat down on the bed.
"As long as we don't tell anybody, we won't risk any repercussion or detention. You started to go to school again not long ago and you're imp-"
He cut his sentence off when he felt her lips kissing him on the cheek, surprising him and with her face getting red. "Your care for those dear to you is what I love the most about you.", she told him sweetly.
Touching the kiss spot, he smiled at her and laid down on his bed with her, so they got under the blankets together. "Good night, Mizore.", he told her, , closing his eyes.
"Good night, my Tsukune.", she said instead, making him blush and snuggling on his chest. Turning off the light, they fell asleep and the snow girl felt in total bliss; not only she managed to kiss him on the cheek, but now they were sleeping together again.
Maybe she was obsessed with him, but that was how much she loved him. She wanted the only one in his heart and she didn't want to see him hurt ever again. Ever.
A/N
And chapter 4 is here, everyone! Well, what do we have here? A beautiful yukionna cuddling with her love in his bed at night not once but twice too? Yes, we do! As you can read, Mizore's overly clinginess and her feelings for Tsukune increased after what happened with the lizardmen, but thanks to the boy, her anger towards Moka, who got assured by him that he didn't hate her for that, calmed down.
She even seems to have Nekonome-sensei rooting for her to Kurumu's chagrin, with Ginei finding the situation amusing haha. Her obsession for him is still great too and yes, she would like to show him her naked body too. What's going to happen next? Stay tuned to find out.
See ya!
