A few months ago Dr. Yoshi Serizawa, Professor of biology at Yokai Academy used the DNA of all Tsukune's friends to create his version of the perfect girl, he called her Demona. Demona inherited all Moka, Kurumu, Mizore, Yukari, and Ruby's powers, as well as their desire for Tsukune and challenged them all to a fight for his hand and proved too great a match for even Moka, but all the while Moka's vampire blood took over Tsukune completely and he was given the choice to evolve or die. To stay with his friends Tsukune chose relinquish his humanity completely and became the Legendary Super Ghoul, a being of unfathomable power unseen for centuries. Tsukune then used his newfound power to defeat Demona and save his friends. After the battle Tsukune was taken to the infirmary, where he was reminded by Moka's father never to lose control of his new nature… or else. Later Moka came to visit Tsukune alone, she asked him nicely if he would make love with her. He politely refused her on the grounds that her father would kill him if he found out, among other things. But he promised her that they would someday,

Sometime later Tsukune and the rest of the newspaper club was invited to the beachside manner of the most famous witch in the world, Jessina Esmeralda, who upon their arrival predicted her own murder and offered a five million dollar reward to whoever solved the crime. One by one the servants of the mansion began to die, until Tsukune deduced that the killer was Mrs. Esmeralda's butler Ulysses, who turned out to be a rare and powerful Greek Diamond Dragon. Tsukune and his friends fought for their lives, but despite the fact that Tsukune had been training with his new Super Ghoul powers for weeks, they were completely outmatched and saved only by the timely arrival of the Headmaster. In Mrs. Esmeralda's will Tsukune received not only the five million dollars he had been promised, but half of her entire fortune, and unknown to everyone else… a ring. The ring came with instructions from Mrs. Esmeralda that Tsukune would give it to whoever he wanted to spend the rest of his life with, and even though he'd be under pressure to make that decision, she told him to do what would make him happy and that it was his decision to make and no one else's.

Graduation is only a few days away, soon everyone will go their separate ways, but none of the girls want to let Tsukune go. They and their parents have agreed that they would let Tsukune decide for himself who he would go with… Tsukune knows what he wants, but that doesn't change the fact that the hearts of four other girls are going to be broken, something he doesn't want to be responsible for… but has no choice.

"Life goes by pretty fast, if you don't stop to look around once in awhile you're going to miss it."

That's what Ferris Bueller said on his day off, and he was right. Tsukune couldn't believe that it was almost Graduation Day. It seemed like it was only yesterday that he first came through the tunnel to the Monster World and set foot on campus, sure it wasn't the ideal school for someone like him at the time, but every day had been an adventure, sure he had almost died on numerous occasions, but in his opinion it had all been worthwhile. He was no longer afraid of death, not since his transformation into the Legendary Super Ghoul, he was already very powerful to begin with, but after that almost fatal fight with Ulysses he realized that there's always a bigger fish, so he had begun to trainer harder, since then his powers had increased by leaps and bounds.

"That's not all that's changed." thought Tsukune as he looked out at the night sky "I've also earned financial independence."

Tsukune's family was shocked when they heard he had inherited half the fortune of the most famous fortune teller in the world, he had a hard time believing it himself. He had already bought a small house in the country for himself. But telling his parents about his inheritance was easy compared to the task he had just accomplished the other day.

"I still can't believe they approved."

Tsukune took out the ring he had been given by Jessina Esmeralda in her will. It came with a note saying he would give it to the girl he wanted to spend the rest of his life with.

"Funny… a few months ago I was worried about the money it takes to marry someone."

Tsukune told his cousin Kyouko about his decision first, since she was the only one in his family who knew the truth about the girls here about Yokai Academy. He thought he would need her support when it came time to tell his parents.

"If that's what you want then does it really matter what I think? If she makes you happy then that's great, and it doesn't matter what she is, I can see that knowing her has changed you for the better."

After getting Kyouko's support Tsukune went to tell his parents, it had been much easier than he thought, in fact his mother had been overjoyed. It had been much the same as Kyouko's reaction.

"You were never just some confused kid who was in over his head, you know what you want, and I can see that she makes you happy, and I can tell you'll make her happy too."

"I've told my family… now I just need to tell them."

Most people would think that having as many girls chasing you as Tsukune did would be every boy's dream, that's because they had never been in his shoes before. They didn't know what it was like to have so many friends fighting over you, over the years the girls had actually tried to force Tsukune into marrying them or at least make love, it had only gotten worse when their parents came into the picture. Tsukune could tell that deep down that Moka, Kurumu, Yukari, Mizore, and Ruby all really cared about him, but that didn't change the fact that he could only love one of them, so they fought. It wasn't until after his transformation that Tsukune told them all that he was not a prize to be won and that only he would decide who he would love. After that the girls and their parents did let up a bit, but they did keep reminding him that sooner or later he would make his decision known.

"I've put this off as long as I can… I guess it's finally time to face the music."

As Tsukune looked at the ring he had been given he wondered what would be the best way to tell them his decision. Every situation he considered in his mind always ended with most of his friends being left heartbroken, he was especially worried about how some of them would take it, I didn't matter how much you softened the blow it was still rejection.

"I guess I don't really have a choice, I'll just have to tell them, but I'll tell her first."
