Tsukune sat on a couch watching Mizore's family, and he could not help a smile from appearing on his face. Mizore's children ran around the living room being chased by their smiling grandfather, and Tsurara look on from the kitchen like a proud matriach.

Mizore sat next to him with her head on his shoulder, and her hand holding his.

Dinner had been wonderful, and Tsukune was thankful for Tsurara's hospitality. Mizore had introduced her daughters to him, and the mazoku was surprised when the two, young girls ran up to him and hugged him. He had returned their gesture and gently patted them on the head.

Later that night, Mizore had just finished putting her daughters to bed while Tsukune – at her instruction – waited in her bedroom.

She joined him a few minutes later and didn't let him utter a word before she attacked his lips with her own. He almost smirked before kicking the door shut and carrying her over to her bed.

This same routine carried on for several days before Tsukune knew that he needed to head to his next destination – to see Ruby and Yukari.

On his final morning in the Snow Village, Tsukune watched Mizore putter around her kitchen making them breakfast. Tsurara had taken her children last night so the lovers could have their last night alone together.

He could tell that Mizore was not happy about him leaving so soon, and he quickly stood up and took her in his arms.

The snow maiden turned her head in surprise but smiled at seeing her mate's warm, brown eyes.

"Mizore-chan…I am going to tell you the same thing that I told, Kurumu-chan. I don't want to leave you…but I have to go. I promise you though…I will come back."

She smiled at him and turned around to face him fully. Her arms wrapped around his neck, and she kissed him passionately. Breakfast was quickly forgotten as Mizore wanted her beloved again before his departure.

"Tsukune…" she moaned as he sucked on her neck.

"Please…one last time…" she sighed as he was already undoing her yukata.

Her hands all but tore his pants off, and she actually giggled as Tsukune laid her down on her dining room table. A feral look in his eyes, he lowered himself between her thighs and proceeded to have her for breakfast.

Mizore threw her head back in ecstasy as her beloved feasted on her womanhood. Taking her through two, mind-numbing orgasms, Tsukune rose to his feet, grasp her hips, and thrust himself deep inside her.

He took her another three times before they were finished, and he poured himself inside her each time. He could only hope that he had given her what she wanted so badly – his child. Kurumu might be a little annoyed that Mizore had his first child, but he knew that both of his mates would have his children.

As the lovers rested in one another's arms, Tsukune pulled her off the table and into his lap. He actually chuckled, and Mizore looked at him curiously.

"What's so funny?"

"It's just…you and Kurumu gave me exactly the same send off," he said with a grin.

Mizore's cheeks flamed in embarrassment, but she decided to turn the tables on him.

"Well…I guess we both know what we like…" she said happily and ran a finger down his cheek.

"You…inside us…making wonderful love to us over and over again. Hmm…maybe when this over, she and I will take you somewhere where we can spend all day and night taking care of your needs. Would like that Tsukune? Would you like Kurumu and I to worship that manhood of yours all day?"

The mazoku was starting to sweat as his normally conservative Mizore transformed into a seductive siren.

"We would, Tsukune. We would make sure that your cock was satisfied over and over again. You can take us in any position that you wanted. Would like us to ride you, or would you prefer if we bent over, and you took us both hard from behind…"

"Enough!" he growled and kissed her smirking lips.

Mizore felt him grow fully erect inside her again, and she loved the fact that she excited him so much. Her body was rather sore though, but she knew what she could do.

Tsukune groaned as her womanhood released him from its wonderful clutches. She pulled him to his feet, and her fingers curled around him.

"Tsukune…while I would love another session with you, my body is quite worn out; I am not used to so much lovemaking; but I will be. Still…as your mate, let me take care of your needs."

His eyes widened as the snow maiden dropped to her knees and wrapped her lips around him. He had no idea if Mizore even knew about oral sex, but he was in for a big surprise.

Her tongue was downright magical, and he had no idea how she did some of things inside her mouth.

'Wait a minute…is she…'

His eyes rolled back into his head, and he had to grasp the table to keep from falling over. Mizore pulled him out of her mouth and kissed the head of his manhood affectionately. Looking up into his eyes, she swirled her tongue around him.

"Hmm…Tsukune…I think that I have found a new lollipop…" and her lips closed back around him again.

'It's always the quiet ones,' the mazoku groaned silently as his snow maiden sucked him to within an inch of unconsciousness.

After nearly passing out from her talents, Tsukune sat down to enjoy Mizore's cooking. They talked quietly about her children, and what things might look like in the future.

Finally, it was time for him to go, and Mizore clung to him tightly. Tsukune laid a soft, sweet kiss on her lips and clutched her tightly.

"I love you," she said softly into his ear.

"And I love you, my snow angel."

After one final kiss, Tsukune released her and stepped back.

"I will see you soon, Mizore-chan."

"Be safe, Tsukune."

He nodded his head, and with a burst of magical energy, he disappeared out of her kitchen.

Mizore smiled softly after his departure and caressed her abdomen.

'Please…let me be carrying his child.'

Ruby was sitting in her private lab doing research much as she was every day. Yukari would join her most days, and the young witch sat on the opposite side of the room from with an old tome open in front of her.

Ruby had deliberately created this room with some of her strongest magic. No one could enter this room without her permission, and nothing inside her lab could be heard or seen from outside.

While it was true that she did work for the headmaster, she conducted a lot of private research which was none of his business. He was her employer but not her master.

'Only one man deserves that title,' the witch said to herself silently and grinned.

Ruby had spent many nights having dreams about a certain young man making her his willing slave and fucking her so hard that she couldn't walk for a week. More than once, she had woken up with her body full aroused, and her bed soaked with her feminine juices.

A shiver went down her spine at just the memory of it, but she knew that since he was married to Moka now, it was an impossibility.

A light from behind her drew her attention, and she was shocked to see a transportation circle appear on the far side of the room. That was impossible; only she could magically transport into this room.

Ruby grabbed her wand and assumed a defensive stance against her intruder, and Yukari followed her direction.

The two witches received quite a surprise when Tsukune Aono appeared in front of them.

'Glad I remembered Ruby had her own lab,' the mazoku said to himself.

He saw the two witches prepared for battle, and he couldn't really blame them – considering how he arrived. There wands were glowing, and they were ready to strike.

"I surrender," he said with a grin and threw his hands up.

The two witches immediately relaxed their posture, and Yukari immediately ran up to him and hugged him.

"Tsukune!" she shouted and squeezed him tightly. He smiled and returned her affectionate gesture.

Ruby did not move at first; she was trying to figure out two things. First, how did Tsukune use a magical circle, and second, how did he break through protections around her lab. She closed her eyes and checked her protection seals, and they were all still in place. Still, she was more than happy to see him.

Making her way to him, she had to smile as the enthusiastic Yukari practically hugged him to death. Releasing the younger witch, Tsukune turned to her with warmth in his eyes and reached out for her. Ruby happily accepted his embrace, and she felt a small lance of pleasure go through her body at the close contact with him.

"Tsukune, you came to see us! Did Moka come with you too?" Yukari asked anxiously.

"Ruby, your lab secure?"

The older witch bawked slightly at Tsukune's question, but she nodded her head.

"Thank you; I have no need for the headmaster to know that I am here. But…just to be sure…"

Closing his eyes, the mazoku reached out with his demon and magus senses. After a few seconds, he reopened them and smiled.

"Well done, Ruby, I doubt that Mikogami himself could break your web of protection seals."

"But you did, Tsukune? Care to explain how to you transported here?"

"Why don't we all sit down. I have a lot to tell you two."

Both witches listened while Tsukune began his tale once more. Naturally, Yukari looked the most shocked when she heard of Moka's betrayal, and Ruby was seething as she glowed with magical power.

If Tsukune had not been holding her hand, she would have left and went on a hunt for the pink-haired vampiress.

Tsukune told them everything – from his heritage, to the meeting at Issa's in a few days, to Kurumu and Mizore.

The two witches were gobsmacked as they learned that Tsukune had a magical ancestor, and Ruby felt her need for him grow even more as she learned that he was part magus.

Once he had finished his story, Tsukune took a deep breath to calm himself and turned to the elder of the two witches.

"Ruby-chan, I need your help. While I understand what a magus is, I have no clue on how to full use their abilities – other than what I have learned by instinct. I want you to teach me how to be a magus. I know that your former master was one – since you are able to control nature. If I remember correctly, Moka and I once trained in a dimension where one day here was months there. Can you take me there again?"

"Certainly, Tsukune, it would be easy enough to do, but what are you thinking?"

"I promise that I will explain my plans to both of you before I leave, but first, I need to make sure that I have full control of both my mazoku and magus powers. Plus, I have an important job for you two while I go to Issa's."

"What's that?" both witches asked at the same time.

"I will explain soon. Ruby…could please take me to that other dimension so we can get to work? Yukari, can you run interference for Ruby with the headmaster?"

"Leave it to me, desu-desu!"

Ruby actually flushed as she realized that she was going to be alone with Tsukune for a long period of time. Could she…would she…approach him?

Walking to the far wall of her lab, Ruby tab the stone with her wand, and a doorway opened that Tsukune recognized.

"Ready, Tsukune?"

"Let's go," he replied and followed the elder witch through the doorway.

Exactly one day prior to the meeting at Issa's, Yukari saw the same wall glow in Ruby's lab, and the doorway reappeared.

She was glad that Youkai Academy was on its summer break. Things were quiet so the headmaster had not called for Ruby in the three days that the pair had been gone. It was very common for Ruby to spend days in her lab without coming out so no one had said a thing about where she was.

As the magical gateway opened, out stepped Ruby and Tsukune looking a little worse for wear. Tsukune's clothes were tattered, but he walked with a new found confidence.

Ruby stood at his side leaning against him, and Yukari's eyes widened at what was around her neck – a collar.

"Ruby, what is that?"

The older witch blushed fetchingly, and Tsukune actually chuckled.

"My collar, Yukari-chan. Ruby asked to become my pet, and I agreed with one major condition. I would be her master, however, if I was ever intentionally cruel or hurt her deliberately, she would immediately be freed. Plus, Ruby will still be herself – not some mindless slave."

As Tsukune was talking, he was also reaching out to his other two mates, and he felt Kurumu and Mizore answer him. He could not contact them while he was in another dimension and hoped that they were accepting of his decision – particularly since he had mentioned having Ruby as a pet to either of them prior to accepting her, but he never thought that he would.

Thankfully, neither of his mates were angry with him, and they knew that he was telling the truth based on his feelings of uneasiness.

"We trust you, Tsukune," came their collective response, and he let his love for them flow back through their link.

"Now that Ruby has shown me how to use my magus abilities; it is time that I explained what I need to two of you to do."

Mikogami sat at his desk when the globe that he used for communication pulsed. Based on the magical signature, it was Issa's castle, but he was surprised to see a woman appear instead of the elder vampire.

"Lord Mikogami, a pleasure as always," came the silky voice on the other end.

"Hmm…I seem to remember you…ah yes…Ria Sekitan…is it not?"

"Indeed. My apologies for interrupting your day, however, I was wondering if you have heard from or seen, my dear brother-in-law, Tsukune Aono."

"Is he not married to your sister, Moka? Why not ask her?"

"I believe that the two of them have separated. I have been informed that he has not returned to their home for weeks, and I wanted to locate him prior to the meeting of the elder vampires tomorrow."

"Unfortunately, I cannot help you, my dear; I have not seen the young man in quite some time."

"What about your assistants? They are his friends. Perhaps they know where he is. Could you persuade them to let me know where he is?"

"Mikogami's eyes glowed from under his hood, and he actually grinned at the vampiress."

"I am under no obligation to help you, my dear, so why should I?"

"My father would consider this a personal favor if you would assist me with this," came Ria's answer.

"While that is tempting…" and the vampiress smiled, "…I will have to decline."

"I have no need for Issa's favors or yours. If you want your sister's husband so badly, little girl, go find him yourself and stop wasting my time."

Mikogami cut the connection before the vampiress could respond, and he actually chuckled.

"Tsukune…my boy…what are you up to now?"

Ria Sekitan glared at the globe in front of her. Since her last conversation with Moka, she had used every resource that she had try to track down Tsukune.

She had the units who where watching those bitches that he called friends look out for him, but none of them had been able to find him. She even had vampire trackers look for his specific youkai signature, but there was nothing. It was like he had literally dropped out of existence. Even the people watching his parents had not reported any sightings of the young vampire.

She knew that he had separated from Moka, but other than that, nothing. This was frustrating to her; she did not like not knowing everything that she wanted to know.

"Mistress Ria?" came the low voice of one the goblin servants.

"What do you want?" she growled.

"Forgive my intrusion, mistress, but your sister, Moka, has arrrived."

That made her eyes widen slightly.

"Tell me, has her husband come with her as well?"

"No mistress, Master Tsukune has not arrived yet."

'Hmm…well at least I can have some fun needling her for a while,' Ria thought with a wicked grin.

Moka entered her father's castle with her head hung low. These last few weeks without Tsukune had been the worst of her life. She had barely been sleeping and eating even less. She was utterly miserable, but she knew that she was expected here, and if nothing else, Tsukune said that he would be here as well.

"Moka-chan! How good to see you?" and the pinkette groaned as her elder sister approached.

"Ria-neesan, good to see you too," and the two sisters hugged one another briefly.

"Hmm…I don't see my dear brother with you, Moka. Don't tell me that he is not coming!"

"Of course, he is. Tsukune…well…he needed to see his parents for a few things prior to coming here so he asked me to go on ahead. He should be here tomorrow."

Ria knew that her sister was lying but did not say a word. She felt a familiar presence and turned to see her father enter the hall.

"Moka, my daughter, come give your father a hug."

Moka did as her father requested, and he too looked around for her husband.

"Where is my son, Moka?"

"My apologies, father, however, Tsukune needed to see his own parents prior to coming, but he will be here tomorrow in time to greet the elders."

"Very well. I look forward to them meeting my new son; I will see you both at dinner this evening."

"Yes father," came the reply from both vampiresses.

Once he was gone, Ria leaned into her sister's personal space.

"Come now, little sister, why don't you tell me where Tsukune really is?"

"I already did," came her sister's nervous reply.

In a flash, Ria snatched off her rosario, and a few seconds, an extremely annoyed inner-Moka glared back at her.

"There. Now, talk me to sister-dear. Where is that husband of yours?

"Where Tsukune is…is no concern of yours; he is my husband and will be here tomorrow. I will see you and father at dinner."

With that, Moka grabbed her rosario and marched into the castle – leaving a grinning Ria behind.

The following morning, Tsukune stood before a desolate patch of mountains, and he looked up at a familiar cave.

'I hate to bother him again, but I think that he might actually enjoy this.'

Climbing up the ridge, Tsukune entered the cave and made his way through the various traps and illusions. They seemed like child's play to him now compared to last time, but he realized that it was because that he was not a vampire anymore.

Entering a large chamber, Tsukune could sense the familiar presence that he had come to see.

"You again, boy, I warned you never to come here again," roared a mighty voice.

"My apologies for disturbing you again…Fafnir-san," the young man replied.

A blast of air surrounded him, and he looked up into two huge, scaly-rimmed eyes.

"Wait a minute, what has happened to you? You are not a vampire; you are…"

The eyes actually widened as Tsukune suddenly transformed into his true form. (No, I am not describing it yet.)

"Impossible! I thought that his line was dead!"

Tsukune was shocked to see the mighty dragon get up on its haunches and bow its head.

"You are indeed of Kyousuke's lineage."

"Please do not bow to me…General Fafnir." Again, the dragon was surprised.

"Yes, I know that you served as the mazoku king's general all those years ago. I hold his memories inside me and know everything that he knew. I am also half-magus and have developed that part of myself as well. I am heading to a meeting of the vampire elders at Issa Shuzen's castle."

The dragon growled at the vampire's name.

"Vampires are always too full of themselves; they believe that their race is the only one that matters. That is one major difference that your father had from them; he believed that all races deserved equal treatment – abilities not withstanding."

"As do I, general. Let me tell you my story now."

Once Tsukune had finished his tale of the last few weeks, Fafnir raised his head again and looked the young man over.

"What are your thoughts, young mazoku?"

"I have no plan to be king of all youkai; it is not my place. I do not wish to be king, but merely a deterrent to those who would not only hurt my family but other youkai and humans as well. Vampires believe that their power makes them superior to everyone else, and I am going to show them exactly what it means to be powerless. Plus, I want to help the races that they have suppressed for thousands of years to break out of their shackles."

"Is that why you mated a succubus and snow angel and took a witch as a slave?"

"No, I mated with them because I love them, and Ruby is no slave. Her status to me is nothing more than symbolic; she is a third companion to me. She has the same protections as my family and other two mates. My goal is to work toward a day where there is no 'most powerful youkai race'. There will be several of equal power and influence to always counterbalance one another, and none will ever have an advantage over the each other."

"You sound like you are creating chaos, boy."

"Not at all, I am merely showing the vampires that they cannot dominate every other youkai race. They believe themselves to be the most powerful, but that is not correct at all. You are a perfect example. Issa fought against you thinking himself superior to you, and you wiped the floor with him."

"And it was utterly enjoyable – minus the sword wound. You are correct; vampires need to be brought back to the reality that they are not the lords of youkai. Your words are almost identical to that of your ancestor, young Aono. Kyousuke did not want to be king either – merely a deterrent – until those bastards took his mate and son."

"Fafnir-san, I am not asking you to fight with me; this is something that I must do alone. However…"

"…You require my help with something."

"Indeed. I swear that I will never ask anything of you again after this and leave you in peace."

"I don't accept your promise, young mazoku. You are your father's son, and I am honored that you ask for my help. Even when you were a vampire, you were still honorable when you approached me and did not try to deceive or manipulate me. Come…how may I assist you?"

Tsukune asked the mighty dragon his request, and a few moments later, the cavern shook with the sound of Fafnir's laughter.

"My boy, that is utter genius; I am so going to enjoy this," and he gave a large, toothy grin.

"I thought you might," the young man replied with a grin of his own.

Later that morning, Issa stood outside the front entrance of his castle with daughters at his side. He kept looking over at Moka with a slight glare, and she knew that it was because Tsukune had not shown up yet.

Almost all at once, a veritable caraven of vehicles ranging from limousines to carriages appeared in the distance. They pulled up in front of the castle, and doors opened to reveal a dozen men who appeared to be in their late seventies. There were also six women appearing of the age bracket. Each of them was dressed in Victorian era clothing and looked the epitome of aristocracy.

"Welcome elders, it is an honor to have you here," Issa stated as he stepped forward to greet them.

"May I present my daughters…Ria…Kahlua…Moka…and Kokoa."

Each daughter stepped forward as their father spoke their names.

"I understand that you have recently added a son-in-law to your family, Issa," came the voice of one older man.

"You are correct, Elder Marcus. His name is Tsukune Aono; he is the mate of my third daughter, Moka. My apologies for his tardiness."

"Hmph, he should know his place. Why is he not here?" came the voice of one of the female elders.

Issa struggled not to grind his teeth. Marie was the elder who hated him the most and took great pride in being a thorn in his side.

"He has been unavoidably delayed, however, he will be here soon. In fact, I-"

Issa's explanation was cut off as a giant blast of wind pounded the front of the castle, and all of the vampires were pushed back slightly. Seconds later, an unearthly roar shook the very ground, and Issa actually felt his blood run cold.

'No, it cannot be!'

Sure enough, a mighty dragon landed on the ground several hundred feet away from them. It unfurled its wings and let out another roar.

The vampire elders were shocked at seeing the great beast here.

"Who is that?" Kokoa asked.

"Can I play with him," Kahlua added happily.

"Fafnir," Ria said softly, and her voice almost trembled.

"What do you want here, beast?" Marcus demanded.

"You best close your mouth, you wrinkly old pile of bones; I can hear your knees knocking."

"Why have you come here, Fafnir? What do you want?" Issa stated while trying to sound in control of his faculties.

"Cut the act, you piddly, little vampire, I am not here for your pathetic life. I am just dropping someone off."

The entire audience of vampires stood in awe as a familiar figure stood up on the dragon's neck and gracefully leapt to the ground.

Tsukune Aono stood up to his full height and put a hand to the dragon's chest.

"I appreciate your help, Fafnir-san; I am in your debt."

"It was no trouble, Lord Aono; I look forward to seeing you again."

"As am I, my friend, take care."

With that, the dragon roared again and lifted off into the air returning back to his cave.

Tsukune had to fight not to laugh as the most powerful vampires in the world stood their gawking at him with their jaws on the ground. He just smiled slightly and shrugged his shoulders.

"What?"

Author's Notes: Finally got this story updated. Sorry guys, but I was finishing reading Rosario Vampire II, and I had to get myself back in the mindset to the write this again.

For those of you who are annoyed that I did not include how Ruby asked to be Tsukune's don't worry; it will be included in a future chapter.

I pushed the timeframe quickly so we could finally get to the part that I have been waiting. What will happen at the castle now?
