Hello, everyone! I am SO terribly sorry for the extremely long absence; I've been busy playing a Zeldathon (playing all main Zelda games; currenlty I'm on chapter 12: The Minish Cap), playing through the Borderlands games in preparations for the upcoming Borderlands 3, trying to finish Assassin's Creed Odyssey, speeding through the Kingdom Hearts games, AND studying to become a forklift driver a FedEx. But here it is: the final chapter of Volume 2.

Enjoy

Another day, another chapter in the life of Tsuki Aono begins. Right now, she was in the dorm lobby at the school payphones waiting for someone to answer the ringing phone.

"Hello? Aono residence, Kasumi speaking," said the person on the other end of the line.

"Hi, mom, it's Tsuki," said the human girl.

"Oh, Tsuki? It's so wonderful to hear your voice after a month. How's Yōkai Academy?"

"Um...it's actually just fine," Tsuki said she twirled her fingers around the phone cord.

"Well, I'm so glad to hear. Did you get the money I sent you?"

"Of course. I told you not to worry about me?"

"Well, okay," said Tsuki mother. "You know, that reminds me, your father and I haven't seen your school yet. So if you'd like, we could come to the school next holiday to—"

"NO!" Tsuki screamed at the top of her lungs. "I-I-I mean, no thanks," she said in a softer tone. "You and Dad are really busy and I don't wanna take too much of your time."

"But don't worry, I'm alright. I joined the Newspaper Club and made friends there as well," continued Tsuki. "We're even releasing our first paper tomorrow in front of the school gate."

"Oh, okay. Well, good luck, sweetie. Bye."

"Bye." Finishing her conversation, Tsuki hung the phone back up on the cradle. She turned around...and saw a pair of red eyes right in front of her. "EEEEEEEEEKKKK! MAKO-SAN!" Tsuki jumped back a few inches.

"Hi, Tsuki," greeted the pink-haired vampire boy.

"You scared the SHIT out of me!" Tsuki screamed in front of his face. "And what are you doing here anyways?"

"Well...I haven't sucked your blood in a long time. Mind if I do it again?"

"NO!"

"ALRIGHT! Thanks, Tsuki!"

"Wait! NO! I MEANT—"

*BITE*

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Later that day, Tsuki, Mako, Kumaru, and Yukinari were in the clubroom getting their newspapers ready.

"Looks like we're all finished," said Tsuki. "Tomorrow morning, the Yōkai Times finally gets introduced to Yōkai Academy!"

"Wow! I think a lot of boys will be interested in this article," Mako said as he looked at a specific newspaper article.

"I KNOW the will!" boasted Kumaru. "I'M the one who wrote it after all!"

"What article?" Tsuki asked at she took the paper to examine it; the article showed at picture of a boy wearing square toe shoes and baggy clothing. "Uh...nice article, kumaru-kun," the female club member lied with vertical lines across her eyes and blue-colored forehead.

"BOO-YAH!" Kumaru did the "YES!" gesture with his arm.

Kōmura Nazo says:

That getup went out of style years ago. WHEE!

"And the best part is..." the incubus boy continued, "...I did it ALL BY MYSELF! And with Tsuki-chan!"

*SLAP*

"AHHHHH!"

Kumaru lightly slapped Tsuki's ass, getting the latter to yelp, grab her butt cheeks, and jump away in embarrassment.

"KUMARU-KUN! That's sexual harassment!" Tsuki yelled.

"Not if you ENJOY it!" Kumaru tightly embraced Tsuki.

"HEY! Kumaru-kun! Knock it off!" Mako yelled as he tried to take Tsuki away. "This newspaper was made by ALL of us!

"YEAH!" Yukinari yelled. "And don't forget ME~desu!"

"Alright then, everyone, let's all get some rest," said Tsuki. "Tomorrow morning, we've got work to do!"

"YEAH!" cried the three boys.

And so, the next day came and...

"EXTRA! EXTRA! Read all about it!"

"Get your own copy of the Yōkai Square!"

"Wanna know about the missing art students incident!"

Three boys were standing outside the gates of Yōkai Academy handing out...newspapers?

"WOW! They're printed in color!" admired a student.

"And they got swimsuit models!" another student said with lustful eyes.

"And they have the latest fashion trends, too!" said another.

Tsuki, Mako, Kumaru, and Yukinari, who had just arrived on the scene with their newspapers, stood and stared in shock at what was going on.

"The hell's goin' on here?" asked the angered Kumaru.

"The 'Yōkai Square'?" whispered Yukinari.

"HEY, YOU!" Kumaru stormed over to the "other" newspaper club. "What are you doin' on OUR turf? Doin' OUR job? You don't have permission to do OUR job!" He yanked a newspaper out of one of the club members' hands. "And the 'Yōkai Square'? That's not even a real club!"

"Too bad for YOU!" A young student barged through the crowd right up to Kumaru; this student had, aside from his traditional school outfit, short purple hair and eyes.

"Who the hell are YOU?!" Kumaru demanded.

"Second-Year student, Kaito, president of the Super Newspaper Club."

"Super...Newspaper Club?" Kumaru gasped. "I've never heard of a club like that. When was it created?"

"Since this semester began, punk!" Kaito held out an approval paper to confirm his answer. "I felt it would be a lot more entertaining than YOUR boring-ass newsfront."

"WHO YOU CALLIN' 'PUNK', PUNK?!" With a burning red face, Kumaru stormed at Kaito to "teach him some manners", but Mako and Tsuki restrained him to try and calm him down.

"If you bozos truly believe your better than us, PROVE it!" Kaito chuckled as he walked away.

"Oh, we WILL alright!" Kumaru yelled as he broke free.

"Get your own issue of the Yōkai Times!"

"Read about the latest incidents of Yōkai Academy!"

"Please take an issue and read it!"

"You won't be disappointed!"

"Art Teacher kidnaps students?"

"Don't we already know about this?"

"They don't even have swimsuit models!"

"This is so boring!"

"Nekonome-sensei! PLEASE tell me there's no such thing as the Super Newspaper Club!" demanded Kumaru later that day in the faculty office.

"I'm so sorry, you guys. I only found out about it yesterday!" Mr. Nekonome said to the Newspaper Club.

"But, they apparently have permission," said Tsuki.

"In THAT case," Mr. Nekonome said with a sad smile, "if they're really more popular than you, then I guess we'll have to abolish our club."

"WHAT?!" gasped Mako.

"Are you kidding me?!" gasped Yukinari.

"The HELL we will," snarled Kumaru with a very strong aura around his body. "We'll prove we're better than this so-called Super Newspaper Club!"

"Calm down, Kumaru-kun!" said Tsuki.

"She right!" said Mako. "We should talk to our president, Gina-sen—"

"FORGET ABOUT THAT BITCH!" roared the angry incubus teen. "She's probably spying on boys again!"

*CLICK* *CLICK* *CLICK*

Meanwhile, Gina stood on a school rooftop, snapping pictures for boys and their exposed chests.

Kōmura Nazo says:

He sure nailed THAT one. WHEE!

All of a sudden, the drabs were close from inside the school, ending the slutty werewolf girl's photospree. "Bummer," she whispered. "I guess all good things must come to an end." Just then, Gina noticed some fully clothed boys walking down the hallway, right up to a door. As they entered the room, Gina caught a glimpse of the sign on the front. "Oh god! It's THEM! The Public Safety Commission!"

Some time later, Kumaru and Yukinari wearing very tight butler outfit that showed off their (or more specifically, Kumaru's) bulky chests and waists.

"Get your own copy of the Yōkai Times!"

"Fresh off the latest news of Yōkai Academy~desu!"

Most of the girls stared and Kumaru and Yukinari's bulging chests.

"Kumaru-kun, are you sure these outfits are alright?" Yukinari secretly asked Kumaru. "I feel like an underage stripper."

"Hey, in the incubi land, these tuxedos attract many ladies. Besides, those Yōkai Square punks won't stand a chance."

"Get your own copy of the Yōkai Square!"

"Subscribe now and get our secret unprocessed pictures for free!"

"And to prove we're not joking, check US out!"

The girls turned around and saw the Super Newspaper Club handing out newspapers in their speedos, along with pictures of the same thing. Excited, the students rushed over to the Super Newspaper Club, leaving Kumaru and Yukinari distraught and dumbfounded.

"Is this...legitimate?" asked Kumaru.

"No," replied Yukinari, "but they're actually doing it..."

Kōmura Nazo says:

But, YOU guys are sexy too!

(with rainfalls of tears in her eyes)
It's sad you don't see this. WHEE!

"So, which newspaper is REALLY better?" asked one of the Super Newspaper Club boys.

"THE YŌKAI SQUARE!" cheered the girls.

"And which newspaper SUCKS!"

"THE YŌKAI TIMES!"

"DAMMIT!" Kumaru stormed out of the room in frustration.

"Kumaru-kun!" Yukinari flowed after him.

"Teeheeheeheehee! Everything's going according to plan," whispered a student from right behind the door with a sinister smile on his face as he watched the Newspaper Club members depart.

*STOMP* *STOMP* *STOMP* *STOMP* *STOMP* *STOMP* *STOMP* *STOMP*

"This is BULLSHIT!" roared Kumaru later that day as he stomped back and forth in the Newspaper Club HQ.

"Calm down, Kumaru," said Yukinari.

"HOW CAN I?! I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE! THOSE SUPER NEWSPAPER THUGS TRY TO STEAL OUR JOB! THEY DRESS UP IN SEXY SPEEDOS! AND THEY OUR NEWSPAPER SUCKS! AND I SPENT SO MUCH EFFORT TO GET OUR HAR WORK OUT THERE! YOU KNOW WHAT?" Kumaru stormed over to the door. "I'M GONNA GO OVER TO THAT STUPID CLUB AND GIVE THEM A PIECE OF MY MIND!"

*CLICK* *CREEK*

"The HELL you will," Gina said as she opened the door; behind her were Tsuki and Mako, both of whom had regretful looks on their faces.

"Senpai? Tsuki-chan? Mako-kun?" gasped Kumaru.

"Mako-san and I just talked to Gina-senpai about this," explained Tsuki, "and apparently, she's not too thrilled or crazy about them."

"From this day forward," Gina said with a frown, "the School Newspaper Club no longer exists."

"Say WHAT?!" Kumaru screamed right in the club leader's face. "You're just gonna let those POSERS in speedos put us out of business."

"You fdon't know, do you? Those 'POSERS in speedos' happen to be backed by...the Public Safety Commission.

"The WHAT?" asked Tsuki.

"Who are they?" asked Mako.

"You could call them the school police...but even the school police of OTHER school would be afraid of these guys. They're job is to put an end to evil activities all over Yōkai Academy. But overtime, they began abusing their power and becoming corrupt, becoming more violent, using excessive force, beating collecting money from students, and even beating them to death."

"I can't believe such a violent group exists..." whispered Mako. "...even in a monster school."

"They probably see us as a threat, which is why their trying to put us out of business!

"Wait a sec! Since these guys are doing horrible stuff, we should expose their crimes! Like an actual Newspaper Club!" said Tsuki.

"Yeah~desu!" cheered Yukinari.

"I agree!" said Kumaru. "We'll just watch these psychos doing horrible stuff, and before they even know what's going on, we've already PATTEN it, PACKAGE it, slapped it on a newspaper, and SOLD it!"

"NO!" Gina yelled as she stood up in anger. "It's not worth your lives...I should know! I want EVERY single issue of those papers BURNED first thing the morning! MEETING ADJOURNED!" And so she stood up and walked away.

"HELL NO!" screamed Kumaru. "You can't just walk away without a fight, you little—"

"My decision is FINAL!" Gina muttered right before closing the door.

The Newspaper Club brought some boxes full of newspaper to an outside furnace.

"I'll go get the rest," Mako said as he made his way back to the clubroom.

"Me too," said Yukinari who followed from behind.

Tsuki looked at one of the boxes she held in her arms with sorrow in her eyes. "I guess this is it," she thought. She looked back and saw Kumaru shutting his eyes tightly, gritting his teeth, and shaking his fists as tears began rolling down his cheeks. Sighing, the brunette girl turned back to the furnace to do the—

*SNATCH*

"WAAAAHHHHHHHH!" Tsuki dropped the box right by the door of the furnace and grabbed her ass as she felt her panties getting snatch from her waist. She turned around in embarrassment and saw Kumaru, still outraged, clutching her panties in anger.

"GIMME BACK MY PANTIES, KUMARU-KUN!" Tsuki demanded as she tried to hold her skirt down.

"Gimme those boxes, Tsuki-chan!" Kumaru demanded in soft, yet harsher, tone.

"WHAT?!"

"I'm going to distribute those papers that I worked my ASS off."

"But Gina-senpai said—"

"FORGET ABOUT WHAT SENPAI SAID!"

"THAT'S BESIDE THE POINT! NOW GIVE ME BACK MY—"

"NO! NOT UNTIL YOU GIVE ME THOSE BOXES!"

Tsuki looked at Kumaru's face and saw how upset he was, getting the human girl concerned for the incubus boy.

"Those 'newspapers' aren't just newspaper; they're the first newspapers that you and I made," choked Kumaru. "And now..." He glared at Tsuki in frustration. "...now we have to BURN THEM ALL?! NEVER!" He started to wipe the tears away from his eyes (with the arm that didn't hold Tsuki's panties).

"Kumaru-kun," Tsuki whispered as she looked back at the box. She turnd to Kumaru, who had began crying on his knees. She had never seen him so saddened before.

Tsuki contemplated for a few seconds and then...

"Here." She slowly kicked the box toward the depressed incubus boy.

Seeing what Tsuki did, Kumaru gave a small smile at—

*SPLAT* *WHIP*

Suddenly, a thread of web came out of nowhere and yanked the box away; the box landed in the hand of none other that Kaito, who was sanding on some web threads. "Big mistake," he said sinisterly as he swung down from the web threads onto the ground.

"YOU! YOU SON OF A BITCH!" screamed Kumaru. "HAND those over before I—"

"Why do you keep harassing our Newspaper Club?" asked Tsuki.

"What? You forgot about what what Morioka Gina told you about? HEH! You two are pathetic," laughed Kaito. "No matter, your club is dead and gone."

"The HELL it is!" thundered Kumaru. "Gimme back my newspapers! NOW!"

"—! Excuse me? Do you have any idea...WHO YOU'RE TALKING TO!" Kaito furiously through the newspaper into the furnace.

Kumaru gasped and held his hands over his mouth and nose as he watched in horror as his newspapers were incinerated.

"You idiots should've headed my warnings," said Kaito.

"NO! OUR NEWSPAPERS!" Kumaru rushed to the furnace to save the papers, but the three Super Newspaper Club members jumped out of hiding and ambushed him, holding the aqua-haired incubus back. "GET OFF ME!" Kumaru also screamed.

"NO!" yelled one of the Super Newspaper Club members.

"NEVER!" yelled another.

"WE HAVE OUR ORDERS!" yelled the third.

Tsuki rushed in to help Kumaru. "Hold on, Kuma—"

*WHIP*

Kaito suddenly lassoed Tsuki in a web thread and hung her on Kaito's web threads. It was then that Kaito removed his outfit, revealing his true outfit, and spider legs emerged from his chest.

Bite Sized Monster Dictionary:

Tsuchigumo
A spider monster that takes the form of a man. It has been known in Japan since ancient times. His appearance is very handsome, and he uses it to mystify women and eat them. He makes sticky threads within his body which she uses to strangle and take his prey.

"So THAT'S what you really are, eh?" Kumaru grunted. "I could tell by your outfit!"

"Then you should know who we're TRULY with, Newspaper Club member-san. We belong to the Public Safety Commission! Guardians of Justice who eliminate those who threaten Yōkai Academy!"

"'Guardians of Justice'? Bullshit! I heard you guys turned into a bunch of thugs!"

"YOU'RE the thugs around here! For running an un-approved club!"

*WHIP*

"AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Kumaru suddenly got caught in a web that Kaito made.

"KUMARU-KUN!" cried the bounded Tsuki.

"EEEERRRR! AAAHHHH! EEEEEEEE! You think THIS can hold me!" Kumaru tried to break free. But it was no use as he was held down by the Super Newspaper Club members, all of which had turned into bug monsters as well.

"The three before you happened to be a part of clubs that opposed the Public Safety Commission! Like the Literature Club, Tea Ceremony Club, and the Yuri Manga Club!" Kaito said as he jumped onto the web and crawled at Kumaru. "But, after I infected them with spider poison, they became loyal servants! And that EXACTLY what I'm going to do to YOU!

"GET AWAY FROM ME! EVEN IF YOU DID INFECT ME AND TURNED ME INTO ONE THOSE DISGUSTING BUGS, I'LL NEVER SERVE YOU!" yelled Kumaru.

"I love hearing you voice," chuckled the spider man. "It's just a prey that's about to fall victim to—"

"TSUKI! KUMARU-KUN!" cried a familiar voice; it was Mako running up to Tsuki, with Yukinari following right behind him.

"Mako-san!" cried Tsuki in relief.

"Here! Use these!" Yukinari summoned a bunch of gold pans for Mako to climb up so she could reach Tsuki.

Leaping off the pans, Mako jumped at Tsuki, holding out his hand. Though still bounded, Tsuki held out her hand as well for Mako to catch...but both of them missed...

*CHING*

...and Tsuki ended up yanking off Mako's Rosario Cross once again, causing a bright light to glow from Mako.

"What the...!" Kaito gasped as he shielded his eyes with his arm. "What's going on!"

With the sky turning blood red, the thousands of bats encircled the innocent vampire for 10 seconds...and upon dispersing, revealed Mako as the violent vampire he truly is.

Mako managed to catch Tsuki and released him from her prison.

"N-No way! This tremendous monster energy...is he a...SHINSO VAMPIRE?!" gasped Kaito.

"Mako-kun! HELP ME!" cried Kumaru.

"Help yourself, ya spoiled little pussy," the silver-haired vampire boy groaned. "I thought you were stronger."

"O-Of course! Alright!" yelled the incubus boy.

"Oh NO you don't!"

"NOT so fast!"

"You will NEVER get away!"

The three Super Newspaper Club members began holding the incu—

"GET OFF ME!" Kumaru unleashed his wings, breaking free of the slaves and the web that restrained him.

*CLAP* *CLAP* *CLAP*

"Bravo, bravo," Mako muttered to himself sarcastic—

*SPLAT* *WHIP*

"HAAA?!" A web thread suddenly caught the silver-haired vampire boy by the arm. Looking up, Mako saw that the thread came Kaito, now with face like that of a real spider.

"MAKO-SAN!" cried Tsuki.

"MAKO-KUN!" cried Kumaru.

"STAY BACK!" Mako demanded.

"It doesn't matter whether you're a Shinso Vampire or not!" the Tsuchigumo boasted. "You're no match for the Public Safety Committee!"

"...So?" asked the unvexxed vampire.

"So now, YOU'RE MINE!" Kaito yanked on his web...

*TUG*

...but Mako didn't move a inch, getting the Tsuchigumo to make a confused reaction.

*TUG* *TUG* *TUG*

Kaito tried tugging again and again, but Mako appeared to be stronger. "W-What's going on?!"

"HMPH! My turn," Mako began tugging and thread towards him and slowly began singing, "The itsy bitsy spider..."

*DRAG* *THUD*

Kaito suddenly felt himself getting dragged face-first along the ground to silver haired vampire boy. "WHAT GOING ON?!"

"...went up the waterspout..." Mako continued singing.

"HE CAN'T BE STRONGER?!" panicked Kaito.

"...Down came the rain..."

"COME ON! COME ON! PULL HARDER!"

"...and washed the spider out..."

"I CAN'T BEAT HIM! HE'S TO STRONG!" Kaito slammed his eyes shut as futilely tried to pull harder.

"...Out came the sun..."

"GUYS! HELP! THAT'S AN ORDER!" Kaito turned to his slaves, but they were trapped in their master's web.

"...and dried up all the rain..."

"OH GOD! I'M GONNA DIE!"

"...and the itsy bitsy spider..."

"NO!"

"...went up..."

"STOP!"

"...the spout..."

"LET ME GO!"

"...again."

"PLEASE!"

Kaito opened his panicked eyes and found himself face-to-face with his smiling opponent.

"You should've never fucking tangled yourself in our business," Mako whispered as his smile disappeared before the frightened Tsuchigumo. "KNOW YOU PLACE, BITCH!"

*BAM*

Mako furiously kicked Kaito in the face, sending latter flying into the web.

*CRASH* *THUD* *BOUNCE* *ROLL*

Now, Kaito and his slaves were in a runaway web-ball that rolled off and crashed into some trees.

Mako landed on the ground, inavertedly showing off his bulges, and sinisterly said, "Now you and your bitches can think about the consequences you LITERALLY tangled yourselves in."

""Y-Y-Yes, Mako-san," Kaito whispered right before losing consciousness.

Kōmura Nazo says:

This chapter's climactic battle took 483 words across 53 paragraphs! WHEE!

Early the next morning, Kumaru looked in despair at his burnt newspapers. "I can't believe they would do something like this."

"Don't worry, Kumaru-kun," said a determined Tsuki. "These bastards will NOT get away with this. I going to expose those monsters for the criminals they are!"

"No, Tsuki-chan. It's too dangerous to go in alone. I'M going WITH you!" Kumaru responded.

"Me too," said Mako.

"Me three~desu!" said Yukinari.

"Okay then," said Tsuki with a smile on her face, "tomorrow morning, we'll bring down those horrible people. And we'll show them that the Newspaper Club is a force NOT TO BE RECKONED WITH!"

"YEAH!" cheered the rest of the boys.

Meanwhile, in the Public Safety Commission HQ...

*STRIKE*

"AHHHH!" Kaito was struck in the face by a back-hand.

"I'm disappointed, Kaito," snarled the female club president who struck Kaito. "How could you lose to a bunch of lower-classmen?"

"I-It wasn't my fault, Prez!" panicked Kaito. "I TRIED to beat them, but that pink-haired kid? He turned into a violent vampire and kicked the SHIT out of me!"

"Eeeheeheehee! Losing to a boy with pink-haired boy?" laughed another Public Safety Commission member. "I would've DIED to see that happen!"

"SILENCE, DAISUKE!" snapped the president.

"Yes, Prez."

"Do you not realize," the Prez growled at Kaito, "that now the Newspaper Club are going to they us down! Just like LAST YEAR! UGH! Fine! If you want something done, you gotta do it yourself."

"I wouldn't underestimate them if I was you," said the person from behind within the shadow. "I already did that...and now it cost my job!"

"And just who the hell are you to tell me that?" asked the Prez.

"I happen to know something...something that not even the club knows themselves..."

"...…...continue...…"

"I happen to have come into contact with two of those members: the pink-haired vampire boy you mentioned earlier...(to herself) and the one cost me my job...and a girl he's dating...who seems to be doing a good job of 'hiding' his true form."

"'Hiding'? How is she so good at being a human?"

"Because I think she IS...and the REST of the club don't even know it!"

"A HUMAN? In Yōkai Academy?"

"WHAT?! But I thought this school had a barrier to keep humans OUT!" commented Daisuke.

"Regardless," said the Prez, "she is a trespasser! And she must DIE! And I, Kuyā, shall be the one to bring JUSTICE to our school! Now tell me, sir, who is she and what's her name," she said the shadowy figure.

Smiling evilly, the shadowy man held up a picture of the culprit and whispered her name: "Aono...Tsuki."
