Rosario Vampire: Brightest Darkness

Act IV

In the giant castle of the dark lord Issa Shuzen all was quiet. The magnificent castle of the great vampire stood amidst a vast countryside. There were white mountains in the distance while green plains rolled on to the left of the grand estate. A forest was seen nearby with a path leading from it towards the large castle, the place being the home of the great vampire lord. Peace and tranquility was all that was around for miles… except for the engine of a bus driving towards the large estate. It was a bus from the school where monsters learn to coexist with humans, the bus from Yokai Academy that had a few passengers on their way to visit the great lord himself.

"Really, we don't have to go see him right now… he's probably busy," Akua said nervously as she looked up at the large building ahead of them, the elder vampire showing signs of worry as the vehicle approached the home of the great dark lord. The bus crossed over the drawbridge that was lowered for their arrival as two vampire girls were looking out the window with fear.

"Please, I don't wanna!" Kahlua cried out as she saw the bus pull up in front of the main gate outside a small courtyard. It came to a stop as the bus driver smoked his usual cigar. The man glanced into the rearview mirror with his glowing eyes and chuckled.

"Here we are, I'll wait here for your return if it's all the same with you. This guy gives me the creeps, heh heh," the driver said casually. In the seats behind him Akua and Kahlua were looking out the side window with fear before back to the others that came with them.

"That's fine. We'll return just as soon as father deals with these two accordingly," Inner Moka said standing up, dressed in her usual Yokai Academy uniform. Her long silver haired flowed freely behind her as she looked at her two sisters with discontent. Akua was still wearing her same outfit from the battle at Fairy Tale's HQ, her usual attire of a black Chinese cheongsam with knee high combat boots with her short black hair flowing free with two strands help up in pigtails. To her side Kahlua too was wearing her same outfit as she looked back out the window with wide eyes of fear. She wore a flowing white dress with snow white gloves and boots, a tiara on her head holding back her long blonde hair, while her tan skin was a stark contrast to her white clothing and bright hair.

"Yeah, this I can't wait to see," Kokoa said with a dark chuckle as she stood up in her seat, dressed in her usual red variant of the school uniform. She had her hair up in her signature pigtails with red bows while her green eyes watched her two older sisters tremble with fear. On her shoulder was Kou, the pet bat who was looking at the traitorous sisters with discontent. After the group had returned from Fairy Tale the bat had informed them of the dark lord's location and his castle, the familiar once again at his mistress's side and ready for when needed.

"Ok then, let's go," Tsukune said somewhat nervously as he stood up next to his girlfriend. He was wearing a new change of clothing himself; the usual black shoes and brown dress pants along with his white shirt and green button down academy shirt that was left undone. He also had something else new on his person as he glanced to his wrist, looking with a bit of wonder at the trinket provided by the headmaster. It was a silver chain bracelet that that had a darker colored rosary seal on it, the seal resting on his wrist as it was attached firmly to the bracelet. He smirked at the seal and then glanced to his side.

"Um… remind me again why I had to come along?" Gin asked worriedly standing up next to his redheaded girlfriend, the boy still dressed in his usual Yokai Academy uniform with his signature wolf's necklace and headband. Kokoa giggled and grabbed onto his arm playfully.

"Because I wanted to show you to father of course. Big sis isn't the only one with a mate now," she said with a coy expression. Gin looked at her nervously then out the window.

"Ah… right…" he said with a bit of fright.

"I think father will approve of you this time Tsukune, you've certainly shown your right to mate with his daughter," Inner Moka said with a calm smile at her boyfriend. Tsukune nodded slowly then looked out the window. He still remembered the last time he came here, and how Issa wasn't so… friendly with him.

"Yeah… I hope so," he said worriedly. Kokoa walked forward and grabbed Kahlua by the arm.

"Ok you two, let's go," she said sternly.

"You don't want to keep father waiting any longer do you?" Inner Moka said walking up next to Akua. The two worried sisters glanced to each other then down with fear. The group walked out of the bus while the driver chuckled and sat waiting for their return. As they approached the large front entrance Akua and Kahlua showed more signs of fear while Kokoa and Inner Moka walked behind them.

"Really, I insist that we all rest first, we had quite a night last night and all," Akua said worriedly as she looked back to Inner Moka.

"Akua dear, are you nervous? I'm sure father will be so understanding of your actions," Inner Moka said with an arrogant smirk.

"We only did it to help him though, honest," Kahlua said with fear.

"Tell him that yourselves," Kokoa said as she pushed the blonde haired vampire forward.

"Um… just for the record here, I'm a bit uneasy about this," Gin said looking around as they walked into the large entryway. The group walked down the elegant hallways, all lined with high class carpeting, suits of armor and paintings along the walls, and windows in some corridors that let the light shine in.

"Relax, you're my mate after all," Kokoa said reassuringly. Gin nodded then looked to Tsukune.

"Is their father… really so bad?" he asked worriedly. Tsukune looked up for a moment then back to Gin with a weak smile.

"Well… I nearly died last time I was here… so… not that bad," he said with a small laugh.

"You nearly died?" Gin asked with fright.

"He wouldn't have been killed. Father is always one for dramatics. If he really wanted him dead he would have killed him before he even made it past the front gate," Inner Moka said calmly.

"See? You're still alive, so that's good right?" Kokoa said happily. Gin looked at her with a pale expression then forward as he tried not to piss his pants. Kou looked at the boy next to his mistress then glanced to Kokoa.

"Ms. Kokoa? Is he really the one you want to have as your mate?" he whispered. Kokoa shot him a glare then looked ahead with a steady gaze.

"Yes," she said firmly as she held the boy's hand.

"But… isn't he the one that kept taking pictures of the girls at the school?" the bat asked puzzled. Akua and Kahlua stopped and turned back to Kokoa with questioning looks. Kokoa growled and glanced to the bat again.

"Yes, but he's changed now," she said sternly.

"But isn't he the one that kept feeling up your skirt even after you kept beating him into the ground?" the bat asked again. Akua and Kahlua looked at Gin with a bit of curiosity while Inner Moka and Tsukune looked up dull stares.

"Yes, but again, he's changed," Kokoa said with a growl.

"But… isn't he the one that-" the bat started before Kokoa grabbed him and started shaking him in front of her with murderous rage.

"Yes! He was! And now he's my mate! Get it through your head Kou, I LOVE HIM!" she shouted out with anger. The bat nodded franticly and squeaked in agreement as Akua and Kahlua just looked at the wolf. He smiled softly and rubbed the back of his head as he watched his girlfriend shake the pet bat wildly. Kokoa had confessed her love to him on their return trip, and then some. During the entire ride back to the academy in a stolen helicopter Kokoa never left her place on his lap as she kissed him furiously, the girl telling him over and over again that she loved him. Even with the group just staring with weak expressions, Akua and Kahlua included, she would not stop as her heart had taken control of her brain at that point. Kurumu had tried to calm her down, the redhead then roaring at her like a wild animal before mauling her boyfriend with more affection… like a wild animal. After all was said and done from Tsukune's story the young vampire knew she loved the wolf by how he originally sacrificed himself to protect her. It was the final push that showed her it was love she felt for the werewolf.

"Ok! Yes Ms. Kokoa! I understand, WEE!" Kou cried out as the girl shook him in her grip. She growled as she let go, the bat shakily flying back onto her shoulder. She regained her composure then glanced to Gin. She smiled softly as she took his hand again, the boy chuckling and looking at his girl with a gentle smile.

"Ok, let's keep going, father's expecting you two," Inner Moka said calling everybody back to reality. The group started walking down the hallway towards a large pair of doors, the two vampire girls in front watching with fright at the approaching room. They opened the doors and slowly and walked in, the group looking ahead as the two girls in front shook with fear. They were in the same hall that Tsukune had originally faced the great dark lord himself, the same hall that was recreated in the new castle looking like the first. It was a royal hall, with stone pillars on the sides and golden chandeliers above. And ahead of them up atop a few steps was a man sitting in an elegant black throne chair. The man stood up with his red eyes looking intently at the incoming group while he twirled one of his bangs, the lord's short gray hair neatly combed as always. He was wearing his usual outfit of the great dark lord, with his black dress shoes and pants, along with a black fine silk dress shirt with golden trimmings and buttons. He had a red shirt seen underneath as he wore a black cape around his shoulders. The man slowly walked down the few steps and towards the group as they had stopped.

"Father, it's good to see you again," Inner Moka said politely as Kokoa nodded.

"It is good to see you two are still well. I had faith you would both manage during this little problem in the world," Issa said calmly as he walked up to them. The dark lord glanced to them then to Tsukune.

"So boy, I see you're still insistent on being near my daughter," he said with an inquisitive tone. Tsukune nodded slowly as he smiled confidently.

"Yes, I wouldn't want to be anywhere else but by her side," he said calmly. He already expected the dark lord to show some resistance to him being with his daughter, but wanted to show the great lord that he was brave enough to stand before him without being scared off, or passing out, or shitting his pants.

"I see. And… who is this?" Issa asked flatly as he glanced to Gin. Kokoa looked at her boyfriend nervously for a moment then smiled softly at her father.

"This is Gin; he's… my boyfriend father. I wanted to introduce him to you," she said gracefully. Gin jumped a bit then bowed nervously before the lord.

"It's a real honor to meet you… uh, sir… um… I promise I'll be faithful to Kokoa and always stand by… her side, sir," he said as he looked up at the lord with worry. The dark lord just stared at him with no change in expression then glanced to Kokoa. Gin started to sweat with fear as he stared at the dark lord with a pale expression.

"A werewolf? Really dear?" Issa asked with a raised eyebrow. Kokoa jumped a bit then looked down with a small amount of embarrassment.

"Father… he's saved my life before… and he cares about me dearly," she said worriedly.

"Isn't he the same werewolf that you've written about, the one that kept harassing you and the other girls at the academy?" Issa asked with an accusing glance to the wolf, the boy starting to feel like death was any minute now.

"Well… he was. But he's changed, really!" Kokoa pleaded. The dark lord just looked at her for a moment then towards Akua and Kahlua.

"Before I question your poor judgment daughter, what's this I hear about you two working for Fairy Tale? I trust those were just rumors and nothing more," he said with a tone of annoyance. The two sisters trembled a bit then looked down.

"Well…" Akua said softly. Issa raised his eyebrow at her as the girl continued to look down.

"When I was informed by the headmaster of Yokai Academy that two of my daughters were involved with the likes of Fairy Tale I couldn't help but be insulted. After all, you two wouldn't have dared to defile our family name by working alongside them, correct?" he questioned sternly.

"We… kinda… were," Kahlua said weakly.

Silence.

"You 'kinda' were?" Issa said to them with narrowed eyes. Akua looked up to him with a fearful expression.

"Well… yes. But we only did so to help you, honest, we-" she started before she was struck with a backhand by the lord, the girl flying off and skidding on the ground towards the doors. She slammed into the stone wall beside the doors and coughed out as the wall cracked from the impact. The group watched with surprise, Inner Moka and Kokoa not so much, as Issa turned to Kahlua with anger.

"You two dared to work for such filth, and then claim you were helping me?" he said with his aura starting to rise around him. The blonde haired vampire trembled a bit as the dark lord's aura flared around him, the girl backing away with fear.

"I only wanted to help you rule the world, really father," she said with tears forming. She was then blasted back by a surge of the lord's power, the girl tumbling away and crashing into a stone pillar with a loud cry. Tsukune and Gin looked at the lord with shock while Inner Moka and Kokoa had their arms crossed before them with stern expressions.

"Help me? Do you two realize the shame you've brought about our family name by helping the likes of them?" the lord demanded with anger.

"You two brought this on yourselves, to think we used to respect you both," Inner Moka said with discontent.

"You've brought shame to our family. You need to pay for what you've done!" Kokoa shouted out.

Issa held out his hand towards Akua, the girl then being hurled toward him by his power. She flew at him and then was slammed into the ground before him. The group looked at the girl as she struggled to move, the ground around her cracked and damaged from the force.

"Father… forgive me…" Akua choked out as she struggled to stand back up. Issa held out his other hand and Kahlua flew towards him from the energy's pull, the girl then being slammed down next to Akua with a powerful crash. She coughed out in pain as Issa glared at the two.

"Why is he doing this?" Tsukune asked worriedly.

"Because they need to know their place Tsukune. They've betrayed our kind, something that isn't just forgiven," Inner Moka said as she watched the sisters struggle to move. Tsukune looked at them then to Issa, the dark lord having a cold stare at his two daughters.

"Father, forgive us!" Akua cried out, the two vampires struggling as the power from the lord was suffocating and pushing them down. A bright blue glow emanated around the three as the lord showed discontent with the two girls.

"Forgive you two? For what you've done and the suffering you've caused, our vampire pride, our nobility is damaged greatly. You two were my own daughters, my own blood and power, and look at what you've done!" he roared out. Gin watched the lord use his power to crush his daughters into the ground with wide eyes as Tsukune looked at the two with worry.

"If it wasn't for Tsukune using the forbidden spell, which you two stole from father, we would all be dead! He was ready to sacrifice everything to undo the pain and suffering you caused," Inner Moka said harshly. Issa glanced to the boy as he held the two screaming girls down with his power.

"So, you used the forbidden spell did you?" he asked as he looked over to him. Tsukune nodded and looked down with remorse.

"I had to, if I didn't change things from how they were going, everybody would have died," he said looking over to Inner Moka.

"Interesting," Issa said looking back down to his daughters.

"Father!" Akua cried out as she cringed in pain.

"Please!" Kahlua begged as she cried on the ground.

"You two deserve his wrath, you disgrace the vampire race with your existence," Inner Moka scolded. Kokoa nodded as she watched her two older sisters being crushed down into the ground while Gin watched with fright.

"Please… stop this," Tsukune said softly. The group looked to him as Issa merely glanced over to the boy.

"Stay out of this boy. These two are to be dealt with as I see fit, I'll deal with you and Kokoa's… choice afterwards," Issa said with a dark tone. Gin looked at the lord with worry while Tsukune looked at the two screaming girls with frustration.

"No. Stop this now," he said looking to the lord.

"Tsukune," Inner Moka said with worry.

"How dare you tell me what to do boy. You may have helped with dealing with Fairy Tale, but do not assume that I must answer to you," Issa said sternly.

"Please, I'm begging you. They're your daughters, your own family. You can't torment them like this," Tsukune said with urgency.

"They are not family anymore boy. After this betrayal I would be ashamed to have them anywhere near my estate. No, these two will be dealt with by me personally, then banished forever from the vampire world," Issa said coldly as he looked back to the two sisters. Inner Moka looked at the two with discontent while Kokoa glared at them.

"Please father… I'm sorry!" Akua cried out in pain.

"We're not bad girls! We're not!" Kahlua said as she cried on the ground.

"You can't treat them this way, they're your daughters. You're their father, how can you be so cruel to them? Haven't they suffered enough?" Tsukune said with worry.

"Suffered enough? They have only begun to experience their punishment. Now silence, I will deal with you afterwards," Issa said with anger. Tsukune looked to the two girls as they thrashed about, both of them crying out as they struggled to move from the vampire lord's power crushing them from all sides. Inner Moka and Kokoa looked at Tsukune cautiously while the boy growled with frustration. He shook his head then turned to Issa.

"I'm asking you again, please stop this," he said sternly as he looked at the lord with discontent.

"Tsukune what are you doing? Don't interfere with father's decision," Inner Moka said with worry for the boy.

"Yeah, why would you try to defend them? They nearly got us all killed. In fact, before you set the timeline straight they did kill us!" Kokoa said with disbelief. Gin was looking at him with bewilderment, not because Tsukune wanted to spare the two sisters a dire fate but rather because he was actually being stern with a dark lord.

"They only did so for you sir. Their ways were misguided, yes, but still, they didn't do this for their own personal gain. They never learned the value of life, and didn't realize what they were really doing. They just need to be taught properly how to live peacefully and to treat others well, not to be condemned for life for this mistake. You're their father, don't you care about them?" Tsukune said with frustration.

"I said silence boy!" Issa said as he let his power fall around the two girls and turned to face Tsukune. The boy was then thrown off to the side and crashed through a stone pillar.

"Tsukune!" Inner Moka cried out as the boy tumbled through the stone fragments.

"No, father please!" Kokoa cried out.

"How dare you speak to me like that, how dare you try to tell me how to handle my own daughters. Do you think that just because one of them chose to be with you that means you can speak to me with such disrespect?" Issa shouted out. Tsukune got up from the rubble as Akua and Kahlua struggled to get up still.

"You can't treat them like this… they're family to you… they only did what they did thinking they were helping you. They… they can still be saved," Tsukune said wearily. He was then thrown forward and slammed into a pillar across the hall.

"I will not be lectured by a human boy. Whether you did in fact help or not I will not tolerate being ordered by a human!" Issa shouted as the boy was hurled towards him. The lord held him in place with his aura as the group watched with worry. Akua and Kahlua looked up shakily to the boy as he struggled to move in the grip of the lord's energy.

"I would have considered giving you my blessing boy. Seeing as how you risked so much to help Moka and Kokoa live, I was almost considering thinking differently about you. But you must learn your place, that I will not tolerate such betrayal from even my own family!" Issa yelled as he held his other hand out towards the two sisters. Akua and Kahlua were crushed back into the ground with screams as the power again blasted down on them.

"Please father, he didn't know. He's always been that way, he's always been too caring," Inner Moka said with urgency.

"Yeah, he's always been too forgiving. I mean he even forgave me for making that ghou-" Kokoa started before she slapped her hands over her mouth. Issa slowly glanced over to her with a narrowed stare.

"Forgave you for making what, Kokoa?" he asked slowly. The redhead blinked and looked at him with nervous eyes.

"Well… father…" she said softly.

"Kokoa," Issa said sternly. Kokoa flinched and looked at him with a bit of fright.

"Well… I sort of... turned him into a ghoul before," she said nervously. Issa looked at her with a slight amount of shock as he let Tsukune drop to the ground.

"You did what? You brought a ghoul into existence?" he said in disbelief. He then looked back to Tsukune.

"What sort of game are you playing at? He's far from a ghoul Kokoa, he's still a foolish human boy," he said glancing back to Kokoa.

"It's true father. I gave him some of my blood to save his life… but… I did it wrong. I… changed him into a ghoul," Kokoa said worriedly. Issa just looked at her for a moment then back to Tsukune.

"A ghoul is a permanent transformation Kokoa, how is it he would be human now then?" he asked curiously.

"It was a side effect of the Chrono Displacement spell," Tsukune coughed out as he stood back up. The vampire lord just looked at him carefully while he kept the two sisters pinned down still, the girls crying out with pain.

"Side effect?" he asked curiously.

"Yes. The spell takes the life of its host after one day. However with me it took the ghoul infection out and left me alive. In a way, the forbidden spell cured me," Tsukune explained with a nod. Issa looked at him with a deep stare then turned his gaze to Kokoa.

"Is this true daughter? Did you bring one of those abominations into existence?" he asked slowly. Kokoa nodded slowly and looked down.

"Yes… I did. But-" she started before she was blasted back and into the wall, the girl slamming and indenting into the stone wall as the group watched with surprise.

"You too daughter? You too would disgrace our name with such a vile act? I had expected better from you," Issa said as he threw the girl across the court with his power. She slammed into a pillar and crashed through it, the group looking at her with worry.

"Kokoa!" Gin cried out. He looked to Issa with frustration.

"What's the big deal? The ghoul's gone now, and she already repaid her debt," he said sternly. Issa looked at the boy with a quick glance then to Inner Moka.

"Did you know about this as well daughter?" he asked carefully. Inner Moka just looked to where Kokoa was slowly climbing back up from the rubble with a bit of shock then to the lord.

"Yes father. I was there when it happened," she said with shame.

"So this boy became a ghoul, and you did nothing? You watched one of those accursed beings come into existence and you did nothing?" Issa demanded with a raised eyebrow.

"I was going to… but…" Inner Moka said looking down with worry.

"You spared him, because of your love for that boy," Issa said with annoyance. Inner Moka looked at him with a bit of worry as his aura flared up. The man reached out behind him and Kokoa flew towards him with a yell, the girl then being slammed down next to Akua and Kahlua. They all screamed out as the power of the vampire crushed in on them, the girls looking up with strained expressions. Gin watched his girlfriend scream out in pain with shock while Tsukune growled with frustration.

"We managed to save him father. We didn't have to-" Inner Moka started before she looked at her father with fear as the man held out his hand towards her.

"I certainly expected better than this from you. You know very well it's our vampire responsibility to kill those things on sight. Yet you let one live and ran the risk of it going out of control. Our family name would be all the more broken because you felt an attachment to a ghoul!" he yelled out.

"Stop this!" Tsukune yelled out with anger. Issa looked back to see Tsukune glaring at him.

"How can you treat them like this? They're your daughters, your own daughters! I'm alive because of Moka and Kokoa; they saved me from death and from that ghoul. How can you turn your power on them for showing kindness to others?" Tsukune shouted as his eyes turned crimson. Issa lowered his hand towards Inner Moka and turned to face Tsukune while his power kept the other three girls pinned down.

"You dare question me boy? It seems you haven't learned your place yet after all," Issa said with discontent.

"Yes, I question you Issa. I question how you could be so cold to your own family. I question how you could just be willing to cast aside your own daughters all for the sake of your pride," the boy said with narrowed eyes.

"You know nothing of vampire pride human," Issa said sternly.

"No…" Tsukune said as he grabbed the rosary seal on his wrist.

"I do know about vampire pride," he said as he yanked it off. Suddenly a huge wave of vampiric energy blasted forth from the boy, the power washing over the hall and all the occupants. The four vampire sisters jerked about then screamed out in passion as they collapsed down. Issa watched the boy's power skyrocket with caution as Gin took a few steps back. The wolf looked at the lord as the man just stared down the boy.

'Ok, it looks like the vampire men don't get excited by the aura, that's good actually… nobody wants to see a dark lord act like those four.'

He glanced down to see his girlfriend moaning out while trembling, the girl's pain having been replaced with sheer pleasure just the same as the other two girls lying next to her.

"What is this?" Issa asked cautiously as Tsukune's energy erupted round him in a fierce torrent, the boy's full power emerging from the release of his own rosary.

"I know, because I am a vampire, I'm more vampire than human now. I'm even more of a vampire than those two," Tsukune said glancing to Akua and Kahlua, the two still rolling around in ecstasy. Issa glanced around at his daughters as they screamed out then over to Tsukune.

"This power…" he said cautiously.

"It was given to me by Moka and Kokoa, with their blood they used to save my life. They did so not out of vampire pride or honor, but out of friendship. They did so not because they had to but because they wanted to," Tsukune said as he stood before the lord with his aura flaring around him, the reddish glow from the power swirling around him wildly.

"Impressive amount of power boy, however it means nothing behind a foolish mind. Tell me, are you planning on taking me on with it?" Issa asked with an inquisitive expression. Tsukune growled and nodded.

"If I must, then yes. I'll gladly stand up for them with everything I have," Tsukune declared firmly.

"Really now. And why would you choose to throw your life away by fighting against me?" Issa said calmly.

"I'll fight for Moka, she means everything to me Issa. I love her with all my heart. I was willing to die for her before when I cast the forbidden spell, and I would be willing to die for her again," Tsukune said confidently. Issa glanced back to the silver haired vampire, the girl struggling to keep her cool and failing horribly.

"I'll fight for Kokoa; she's one of my best friends. She even followed me around insisting on being my servant to pay off her debt about the ghoul. With all her help against Fairy Tale I proclaimed that her debt was paid off in full," Tsukune said proudly. Issa glanced to the redhead who was screaming out with the power resonating inside of her.

"Before I inquire more about that little detail, how do you intend to defend what those two have done? Akua and Kahlua have only begun to feel pain for their actions, what reason do you have to spare them that?" Issa asked curiously.

"Because they're already paying for it, and they will for the rest of their lives," Tsukune said remorsefully. Issa looked at him cautiously then back over to the two girls who were going crazy from the boy's power.

"They infused themselves with a monster's blood, of unknown origin and power. They're not pureblooded anymore and never will be. They did so thinking that when time was reset for you they would be back to normal. They sacrificed their vampire pride and blood to try to please you," Tsukune said with an accusing stare. Issa looked back to the two as he let his power drop around them.

"They did what?" he said in disbelief.

"They'll never be pureblooded again. Even if they do recover their pride from the vampire world they will never be the same. They will live with that curse for the rest of their lives," Tsukune said as he put the seal back over his wrist, the clinking sound echoing out as his power was once again pulled back. The girls slowly started to calm down as Issa looked back to the boy.

"Please, family will be the last thing those two have right now. I'm begging you, don't cast them aside. They can learn from the error of their ways. I have faith in them; don't you have faith in your own daughters?" Tsukune asked gently. Gin looked at the girls as they slowly came to their senses then over to Issa.

"I remember when you first came here boy, you said you never wanted monsters for friends," Issa said calmly as he looked to his daughters. The lord then glanced over to the boy whose power subsided completely, his crimson eyes turning brown again. The girls slowly got up and looked at their father with wonder and fear. Tsukune nodded and looked to Inner Moka.

"I did say that. But now I've fallen in love with one, and I could never let her go. I'd rather die than ever see her hurt or unhappy," he said kindly. Inner Moka smiled at her mate, and then looked at her father with worry.

"And now you are willing to stand up to me not only to defend her, but all of my daughters," Issa said looking back to the girls. Kokoa looked at Tsukune with a soft smile, feeling her friendship with the boy stronger than ever for him standing up to her father for her. Akua and Kahlua looked at Tsukune worriedly then back to their father with fear. After a long pause Issa looked to Tsukune's bracelet.

"You have certainly changed since last we met, Tsukune," he said as he looked into the boy's eyes.

"Father, please don't-" Inner Moka started before Issa raised his hand to her.

"Tell me this Tsukune; do you really believe that these two can be redeemed? After all they have done, all they have turned into, you say that can still be saved. Are you willing to place your own life on that?" he asked curiously. Everybody's eyes turned to Tsukune as he nodded.

"Yes. I am," he said confidently. Akua and Kahlua looked at the boy with wonder then to each other. Inner Moka smiled softly and walked over towards him while Kokoa held onto Gin's arm with a soft smile. She glanced up to him then down with embarrassment.

"Sorry… I couldn't help it…" she said softly. Gin smiled and held her close, knowing she couldn't control herself around Tsukune's aura.

"Interesting," Issa said glancing to the two in question. Akua and Kahlua looked at him worriedly while Inner Moka walked over beside her boyfriend.

"Must you always try to save everybody?" she asked simply. The boy smirked and shrugged.

"Sorry, it's just-"

"You don't think they're bad girls. You really are too forgiving sometimes," she said with a small smirk while gently flicking his forehead. Issa glanced to Kokoa with narrowed eyes.

"Kokoa, what's this I heard about you being Tsukune's servant?" he asked. Kokoa jumped a bit then nodded slowly.

"Yes… I was. I allowed him to use me as he saw fit so I could reclaim my pride. That ghoul was a horrible mistake, and I needed to right that, so I declared him to be my master and gave full control of myself over to him," she said softly. She jumped then waved her hands around in front of her.

"But he didn't use me for anything dirty or bad, I swear. He was a perfect gentleman, a great master really," she said quickly. Issa looked at her for a moment longer then toward Tsukune.

"Very well Tsukune. I will be willing to consider forgiving these two for such a grave offense, on one condition," he said sternly. The group looked at him curiously as he turned to Akua and Kahlua.

"Wait… he's not going to suggest…" Gin said worriedly.

"These two will attend Yokai Academy with their sisters. And they will remain there until they learn the value of a life without causing trouble, under your watchful eye," the lord said looking back to the boy. Tsukune jumped a bit then looked at the sisters with wide eyes.

"What? Wait, you mean…" he said in disbelief.

"Akua and Kahlua…" Kokoa said with surprise.

"Are going to be…" Inner Moka said with a tired expression.

"Tsukune's," Akua and Kahlua said as they looked down in shame. Tsukune blinked and twitched a bit, then looked over to Issa with disbelief.

"Why… me?" he asked weakly.

"You claimed you had faith in them, that they could be redeemed. And you even offered with helping Kokoa with her own redemption. If you are so sure that they can learn to live peacefully then you will be in charge of that. If I am to trust my daughter with you, I should be able to trust the family as well," Issa reasoned calmly. Tsukune looked at him with surprise then to the two sisters.

"I want you to watch over all four of my daughters Tsukune. If you can guard them all from harm and steer them clear of all trouble while they attend the academy with you, then I will be willing to let them back into the Shuzen family. I'll also overlook your defiance against me," Issa said as he turned to walk back towards his throne.

"But… wait… I…" Tsukune said looking around franticly.

"Hey, I already have a boyfriend father; Gin's taking care of me. Tsukune doesn't have to watch out for me now," Kokoa said with urgency. Issa glanced back to the wolf, the boy looking at him with worry.

"Like I said Tsukune… all four of them. I trust you can manage that if you are able to change history and live," Issa said simply as he turned and walked off again. Gin looked at the lord with exasperation then over to Tsukune.

"But… I…" Tsukune said looking to Akua and Kahlua. The two sisters were looking at him with worry then to their father.

"I have other matters to attend to because of their reckless actions. We will discuss your further involvement with my daughter when we meet next. Until then, I will be keeping an eye on you boy, I trust you will not disappoint me," Issa said as the group looked to him. He then vanished in a bright blue flash as the group stood there in silence.

"He can't be serious. He wants me to… take care… of all of you?" Tsukune asked looking around at the four sisters.

"You started this Tsukune," Inner Moka said with a slight smirk. Tsukune looked to her with disbelief as she chuckled.

"You heard father. You want to protect them, then you have to do so yourself. They're your problem now," she said calmly. Tsukune looked at the two elder sisters then down with worry.

'You've got to be kidding me…'

The bus was driving down the road with the group back aboard, the driver watching the road with his usual eerie smile and glowing eyes. In the seats behind him the group was taking in the events at the castle while they were driven back to the academy.

"That… wasn't what I was expecting," Tsukune said as he looked down with worry.

"What did you expect? You wanted to spare them father's wrath, somebody has to pay a price," Inner Moka said with a shrug.

"Why does he have to take care of Kokoa though? She's my girlfriend now," Gin said shaking his head.

"Because Ms. Kokoa deserves a real mate, not some lecherous wolf!" Kou squeaked out from the shoulder of a vampire that growled at that comment. Kokoa grabbed the bat and shook it wildly in her grip.

"For the last time, Gin's my mate. I love HIM! Understand?" she barked out. The bat nodded eagerly while Gin smiled weakly at her. Tsukune sighed then glanced to the seat next to theirs. Akua and Kahlua were looking at him out of the corner of their eyes from across the aisle.

"Um… so…" Tsukune said slowly.

"Thank you for speaking to father for us," Kahlua said looking down with closed eyes.

"Yes. Thank you," Akua said doing the same.

"My mate always has been too forgiving. I personally haven't forgiven you for what you've done however," Inner Moka said sternly.

"Me neither," Kokoa said with narrowed eyes at the sisters. Akua and Kahlua nodded with sighs.

"Very well. What must we do now?" Akua asked looking over to Tsukune. He looked out the window as he rubbed the back of his head.

"Well, I guess we get you enrolled at the academy. And just try to stay out of trouble while you're there," he said with a shrug.

"Are you going to have us be your slaves too?" Kahlua asked worriedly. Tsukune jumped and shook his head franticly at them.

"No! Not at all!" he said quickly.

"I'd say they deserve harsh treatment Tsukune. Do not be as lenient with them as you were with Kokoa," Inner Moka said harshly.

"Work them to the bone and then some," Kokoa growled. Akua and Kahlua flinched at that and looked down with worry. They had to do as the boy told as were their orders from their father. This was their last chance for any form of salvation with their family and the last chance to avoid their father's wrath.

"You always do forgive girls that try to kill you, don't you?" Gin asked the boy with a raised eyebrow. Tsukune sighed and shook his head.

"I just didn't want anyone to suffer. Technically these two didn't kill Moka or Kokoa now, so I can't blame them for that," he said tiredly.

"They helped lead an evil organization of monsters and humans towards a global disaster. You can sure as hell blame them for that," Inner Moka said with discontent.

"They even killed our own kind and stole from father's archive," Kokoa hissed. Akua and Kahlua glanced to them with weak expressions.

"All for a greater purpose, right? That tainted blood inside of you, those lives you took all for Kiria; my mate is far too forgiving sometimes, you two should have suffered much more from father," Inner Moka said shaking her head. The sisters closed their eyes and looked down and shame.

"Please stop being so mean to us," Kahlua said with a sniffle.

"We made a mistake, we know that," Akua said softly.

"I don't think you know it enough yet. Seriously, you two screwed up so royally," Kokoa said shaking her head.

"They don't know anything about what they've done. I personally don't believe they can ever redeem themselves for this act, even with Tsukune's guidance. They're beyond saving," Inner Moka said with discontent.

"Moka, Kokoa. Please stop," Tsukune said gently. The two looked to him as Akua and Kahlua glanced to the boy with gentle eyes.

"They screwed up, we know. We also know that they're going to be scarred with that for the rest of their lives. But they're still family, don't you two think you should try to help them regain themselves? They are your sisters after all," he said looking between the two girls near him.

"They're no sisters of mine. I can say that much," Inner Moka said crossing her arms before with discontent.

"Same here, they're dead to me," Kokoa said sternly. Akua and Kahlua sighed with despair. They couldn't defend what they did; they had nothing to stand on at all. They had nowhere to go, nobody to turn to. Except for one boy that was willing to give them a second chance. It was that alone that gave them a small glimmer of hope to hang on to.

"We'll be good. Really," Kahlua said softly.

"Just give us one chance to correct ourselves," Akua said looking to her sisters. Inner Moka looked out the window with a scoff while Kokoa grabbed ahold of Gin's arm, the girl having her eyes closed in discontent as she held onto her boyfriend. Gin looked at the redhead then over to the two other sisters with a dull glare. After a moment he sighed and looked out the window as well.

"Tsukune's right," he said simply. Kokoa turned to him with surprise as the two sisters in question looked to him curiously.

"What? How can you think those two deserve any pity now?" Kokoa said in disbelief. Gin kept gazing out the window, having the same deep expression he did when he saved her from falling off the cliffs.

"Because everybody makes mistakes. They're family to you Kokoa, you can't just cast them away like your father was about to do," he said calmly. Kokoa looked at her boyfriend as he had that deep expression again, the boy seeming wiser than normal when he did.

"I'm not going to defend what they did, not by a long shot. But, Tsukune's right. They only did what they did because they didn't know better, and were too stupid to see they were being used," Gin said glancing to the two girls. They flinched at the insult then looked away. Kokoa looked at her boyfriend then over to her two sisters. She growled then looked down with closed eyes.

"If they intend to make up for what they did they better damn well listen to Tsukune closely," she said with a bite. Inner Moka glanced to them then looked down.

"Do as he says to the letter, or else you're finished. No complaining or whining, no matter what he asks of you two. Until then do not expect any sympathy from me," she said sternly. Akua and Kahlua nodded as they looked to Tsukune. He blinked then looked out the window with worry.

'Why me?'

Ruby and the headmaster were in the infirmary, the two standing over a bed with a butterfly girl lying on it. Luna's eyes were closed as her wings had retracted back, the girl lying still while twitching every now and then. She was still dressed in the outfit she left with that one night; having sneakers and blue jeans on with a white t-shirt under a green long sleeve shirt that was unbuttoned. Her short black hair was slightly messy while her clothes had some tears and cuts on them from her journey. Standing on either side of her the two casters were using their magic to try to heal the girl's fractured mind. Ruby had her wand held out above the girl's head as she chanted in strange tongues, the witch wearing her usual outfit along with a black rose in her hair. The headmaster was reading from an ancient tomb as he held his hand over the girl's head. Off to the side Rason and Kurumu were watching the two try to help their friend. They each had a clean change of clothing on, with the succubus wearing her usual skirt and sweater combo with the red bow on her chest, along with the golden cross in her bow that held her hair up in her signature ponytail. She was holding the hand of the angel next to her, the boy again wearing his usual clothing style. He wore sneakers, blue jeans, a white t-shirt under a golden button-down shirt that was undone, and a golden crescent moon necklace over his chest as he watched his friend lay still with worried eyes.

"Is she ok?" Kurumu asked worriedly.

"I hope so. She hasn't woken up since last night when she passed out," Rason said softly. After a while the two casters finished and looked towards them.

"I'm sorry, but this may take some more time. We're having trouble trying to reseal her mind," Ruby said worriedly.

"Reseal it? You mean, you're going to lock her memories away again?" Kurumu asked with concern.

"Her magic has ravaged her mind I'm afraid, she's in a deep sleep right now and might not wake up. In order to calm her magic down and stabilize her mind we need to seal her power before it goes out of control. Right now our spell is merely holding it back, but it won't last for long. Should the spell give out, her magic could run wild even in her sleep," the headmaster said calmly.

"It'll be just like before, tears in time would rip apart wildly at any given moment," Ruby cautioned.

"Isn't there any way to help her without having to seal away who she is?" Rason asked worriedly.

"If there is we will take that route, but for now we need to keep the safety of those around her in mind. As it stands, her magic could go out of control again, and with her mind fractured as it is she might not be able to stop herself," Ruby said sadly.

"What happened to her? How did her mind get so damaged?" Kurumu asked softly as she looked at her friend.

"I wonder if she found that chronofly statue," Rason said softly in wonder.

"If we can't stabilize her mind, we'll never know," Ruby said looking back to Luna.

"Please try to save her. She saved us all by helping Tsukune use that spell. If it wasn't for her… we'd all be dead," Kurumu said looking down. Ruby nodded and gently brushed the butterfly girl's hair away from her face.

"We'll do our best Kurumu. In the meantime why don't you go see how the others are doing," she said with a gentle smile at her friend. Kurumu and Rason nodded as they gave one more glance at the sleeping girl.

"Alright, let us know if there's any change in her condition," Rason said softly.

"Of course," Ruby said with a nod. Kurumu and Rason walked out as Ruby turned back to the sleeping girl.

'Luna… what happened to you? Where did you go… and what did you find out there?'

The winged couple walked out into the waiting room where two of their friends were sitting together. One was a young boy wearing his usual mages outfit. Ahakon had brown boots with black pants and a brown sweater with a red cape behind him. His blue eyes were looking down with worry while his red hair was messy as usual. Next to him Yukari was looking down while holding his hand, the girl in her usual witches outfit and having a worried expression. They looked up and hopped to their feet as Rason and Kurumu walked up to them.

"How is she?" Yukari asked worriedly.

"Is she going to be ok?" Ahakon asked urgently.

"She's still sleeping. They're working on trying to get her mind straightened out. Whatever she did she tore it up pretty bad," Kurumu said as she looked back to the room.

"They'll let us know if she gets better, all we can do now is wait and hope for the best," Rason said gently. The two young casters nodded and looked down with worry.

"I hope she'll be ok soon," Yukari said softly.

"Me too. She helped us out big time back there," Ahakon said with a nod.

"C'mon, let's head outside and wait for the others," Rason said as he walked out towards the exit. The others followed after, all worried about their sleeping friend. The halls of Yokai Academy were mostly empty now, with classes still being on hold. It had been two days since Fairy Tale attacked the academy, resulting in the deaths of some students and teachers that took up the call to arms. With the group's return word was spreading that Fairy Tale had been dealt a critical blow, and were now being hunted down and dissolved by the dark lords. What students still remained mostly stayed in their dorms for the time being while teachers were busy getting the school in order for when classes resumed again.

The group of friends walked out of the front entrance of the academy and started heading down the beaten path away from the school.

"I wonder how Tsukune and Moka are doing going to see her father," Yukari said in wonder.

"I can't wait to hear how her father deals with Akua and Kahlua, those two deserve the worst fate possible for being a part of such a nightmare," Kurumu said harshly.

"Going to see a great dark lord, I'd be terrified myself," Ahakon said nervously.

"Poor Gin. He looked pretty scared when Kokoa dragged him onto that bus," Rason said with a laugh as he remembered the whimpers of the wolf as the redheaded girl pulled him by the arm into the bus.

"I wouldn't worry, Moka's dad would probably be too busy tearing into Akua and Kahlua to pay him any mind," Kurumu said with a smirk.

The group walked out towards where the pumpkin head scarecrow was overlooking the red sea. They looked around curiously as they waited for their friends to return. They expected Tsukune and his group to return sometime during the day, the other two however…

"Any idea when Dark and Mizore might be back?" Yukari asked curiously.

"Who knows. They took off as soon as they dropped us off last night. They didn't even say where they were going," Kurumu said simply.

"I know he's anxious to try to find Hokuto, maybe he left to find some possible leads," Rason said with a shrug.

"Then why not take us with them? We have our own score to settle with Hokuto and Jovian too," Ahakon said with discontent.

"Again, who knows. All we can do is wait until they return from wherever they went to," Kurumu said with a shrug.

"I wouldn't mind a little rest first. Last night was exhausting," Yukari said with a sigh.

"Me too," Rason said holding his girl closely from behind. The succubus closed her eyes and sighed happily as she felt the bond flowing through her and lighting her up.

"I'd say we earned it," she said gently as she held onto the boy's arms securely while nuzzling against him.

The group blinked then looked over towards one of the tunnels as they heard an engine getting closer. After a moment they spotted a black motorcycle coming out of the tunnels and racing towards them. The cycle zoomed over and came to a swift halt with the two passengers looking at the group. As the two got off the bike the group smiled at seeing them.

"Hey, nice bike," Kurumu said with a giggle.

"Thanks, Dark picked it out," Mizore said with a soft smile. She was wearing her usual outfit complete with lollipop and her choker, the white pendant having a black marking that looked like three jagged lines going upward in a spread formation with a straight line crossing through the far right jagged line. She glanced to her boyfriend with her clear blue eyes as he looked around. Dark was wearing his usual outfit of black sneakers, blue jeans, a black t-shirt with a gray button-down shirt over it left undone, and a golden pendant he wore from his girlfriend. And of course his earbuds with his music player clipped to his side. He glanced over to the group then back around.

"Tsukune and the others aren't back yet?" he asked simply. He looked over to see Rason shaking his head.

"Nope, thought we'd come out and wait for their return. Where did you two go anyway?" the angel asked curiously. Dark and Mizore glanced to each other then looked back to the group.

"What the hell is it?" an agent in black clothing yelled out as he and two of his comrades were looking around in fear. They were inside what appeared to be a rundown building, the three men in black having been chased in there as something outside snapped a fourth agent's neck all the way around. Suddenly one of the three men's shoulders sliced apart as an invisible blade gouged through him. He yelled out before he was thrown to the side and against a wall, the agent slumping down while holding his bleeding shoulder. The other two growled and shifted into their monster forms, one a demon with a horse's head and the body of a reptile while the other shifted into a furry beast of sorts. The horse demon let out a cry of pain as he keeled over, then was knocked back into a tumble. The furry beast looked around fearfully before a slice mark razed across his chest, the monster howling in pain before something pierced his shoulder. He cried out in pain before he too was thrown against the wall next to the other agent who was watching with wide eyes. The horse demon charged forward and swung around blindly.

"Damn it, what is this?" he yelled out before something caught his punch. His wrist snapped and spun around, and then the demon was flipped over and crashed down next to his comrades. The three watched with surprise as a black wisp flowed around before them.

"I'm only going to ask this once…" Dark said as he reappeared next to a snow girl, the two of them glaring at the agents as Dark cracked his knuckles while Mizore kept her bloodied ice katana ready.

"Where is Hokuto?" the shadow demon said in a cold voice.

"Ho… Hokuto?" the horse demon said fearfully. Dark growled then stomped down on the demon's head, crushing in the skull what sickening crunch as Mizore kept her glare focused on the two remaining agents.

"Where is he? Surely somebody in Fairy Tale had to know about him, since he was such good friends with Kiria," Mizore asked coldly.

"We have no idea what you're talking about, really!" the furry beast said with fear. Mizore growled then struck her blade through his skull. The remaining agent watched with wide eyes as she slowly pulled the blade out, the girl having a cold expression while doing so.

"Please... I just worked for Fairy Tale… I don't know who he is, really," the agent said with fear. Dark walked up to him and grabbed him by the collar, then lifted him up and pinned the agent to the wall.

"I'm in no mood for your games," the boy said with a growl.

"I'm telling you the truth, I never heard of him," the agent said fearfully. Dark growled and then snapped the agent's neck. The body dropped down as the two monsters looked around with glares.

"Somebody had to have heard of him," Mizore said as she held the blade tightly.

"This was just the first hideout in this area for Fairy Tale. I have no intention of stopping here," Dark said coldly.

"Right behind you Dark," Mizore said coolly. She was determined to stay by her demon's side no matter what, and would follow him on his quest to save his captured comrade.

Across the city screams were heard in a warehouse. Inside the large structure dozens of parked black SUVs were sitting ready as a few agents and soldiers ran through. One by one each member of the evil organization was dropped down, either by their legs being broken or with critical wounds that appeared out of nowhere slowing them down.

"Where is Hokuto?" Dark's voice called out, the cold voice echoing out through the warehouse as the agents looked around in fear.

"Hokuto?" a soldier asked as he struggled to stand up, holding his leg that had an ice shard through it.

"I never heard of him," an agent growled as he shifted into a large ogre.

"Wrong answer," Mizore's voice said coolly. The ogre yelled out as a slice mark appeared across his gut and tore up toward his neck. He coughed out blood as his neck was gouged by an invisible blade. The other agents and soldiers watched with wide eyes as the monster dropped dead.

"Where is he?" the boy's voice echoed out with anger.

"Damn you!" an agent yelled as he shifted into his larger muscular form, the monster having three eyes and a large mouth.

"You think you can just hunt us down like dogs?" it roared out.

"Yes," a girl's voice said simply before an ice shard shot out of nowhere and impaled his head. The others watched the large brute drop to his knees, then forward onto his face dead.

"Where IS HE?" the boy's voice echoed around with fury. The remaining members of Fairy Tale looked around with fear. From outside the warehouse screams of agony and pain echoed out as one by one they were killed by an invisible couple.

Later in a rundown building gang members were trying to escape in a hurry, with some being sliced down or their bones snapping instantly. As they ran for the exit a wall of ice shot up and blocked their escape, the group of thugs looking back to see a boy and girl appearing from a black wisp.

"Where's Hokuto?" Dark said coldly as Mizore glared at the thugs with her blade ready.

"Hokuto?" a man asked with fear.

"Never done business with a Hokuto before, honest," another said worriedly.

"I'm going to find every agent and soldier that ever worked for Fairy Tale…" Dark said coldly as he grabbed a man's neck, the thug watching him with fright as Mizore readied her blade.

"And I'm going to find the one that knows Hokuto, I'll kill every last one of you to find him. Now, I'll ask you one last time, WHERE IS HE?" the demon roared with fury. The thug in his grip trembled slightly as the one at his side started to shift into a lizard man. In a flash Mizore darted forward with her blade and impaled its head, then whipped out another katana from her other hand and dug it into the agent behind him, the one that was reaching for his gun.

"I… don't know him…" the thug in the demon's grip said with fright.

"Then you're useless to me," Dark growled as his eyes turned pitch black. Screams and roars were heard outside of the rundown building as Dark and Mizore killed all the agents that had come here to hide from the outside world.

Down in a street Mizore was slicing apart a frog demon as Dark smashed another agent's head through a window of his SUV. The enraged shadow demon held the soldier with a tight grip as he glared at him.

"Where is he?" he shouted at the trembling human.

"I don't know… I never heard of him!" the man said shakily. Dark roared out and smashed the man's head down into the hood of the car, the head coming in contact with the moving parts of the truck that quickly tore apart his skull. Mizore cut down the frog demon then spun around and threw her blade across the street with pinpoint aim at an agent witch that was aiming her fiery spell at Dark, the snow maiden having felt her presence before the witch could strike. The two looked around at the slaughtered agents with glares as the witch dropped dead with a frozen blade impaling her heart.

"Kiria couldn't have been the only one who knew of this guy," Mizore said shaking her head.

"We'll find a lead to him, I won't rest until his heart is torn out by my own hands," Dark said with a growl.

The group was staring at the two with wide eyes as they stood there, the silent couple looking down as they were thinking about their efforts to find a lead to Hokuto. They had ambushed and attacked dozens of hideouts by agents of Fairy Tale as the evil group was disorganized after their leader's death, but came up with no new information regarding where the mysterious boy could be. Dark glanced to the group as they just looked at him with surprise.

"Wow, couldn't you guys have at least waited for us to help with that?" Rason asked with a stunned expression. Dark merely shook his head.

"We cleared out dozens of hideouts from old and current agents that we could find, but nobody knew about Hokuto," Mizore said with frustration.

"How did you know where those hideouts would be?" Yukari asked curiously.

"We stopped by Kenzo's old hideout. There wasn't much left, but we did manage to find some info about a few known locations," Mizore said softly.

"Oh, I see," Kurumu said softly while looking down. The group knew the two must have come across Kenzo's remains during their visit, the dead comrade likely only fueling Dark's rage for finding Hokuto further.

"So what do we do now?" Ahakon asked curiously.

"I'm not sure. I'm still working on that," Dark said with a hint of frustration in his voice.

"Well when Tsukune and the others get back we'll plan our next move. Hokuto and Jovian won't escape from us," Rason said with a determined expression. The group then looked over as they saw a bus driving out from a tunnel towards them.

"Speaking of which," Kurumu said as they watched it pull up in front of them. Tsukune and Inner Moka got out first, the couple looking around at their friends.

"Hey, we're back," Tsukune said with a small smile. They walked forward as Gin and Kokoa started to disembark from the bus as well.

"We were just talking about you. So what happened with Moka's father?" Rason asked curiously. He glanced over and saw Kokoa and Gin walking over to them.

"Well, father was dealing with Akua and Kahlua for their actions before he and Tsukune had a little talk," Inner Moka said glancing to her boyfriend with a raised eyebrow.

"A talk?" Yukari asked curiously. Tsukune nodded while rubbing the back of his head.

"So her father didn't try to kill you this time at least?" Kurumu asked with a smirk.

"Well… not really, although they did have a bit of a disagreement at first. But still, that's not the point here," Inner Moka said with a smirk.

"And what would be the point here?" Mizore asked curiously. She blinked then whipped out her ice katana as Dark growled with his aura flaring up. Kurumu jumped then readied her nails as Rason glared past the vampire couples. Tsukune sighed and shook his head with a hand held out, the group looking at him cautiously while lowering their stances slightly.

"The point is Tsukune's too damn forgiving for his own good," Gin said with a glance behind him and Kokoa. The group turned to face two other vampire sisters that had gotten off the bus.

"What are they doing here?" Ahakon said with a jump as Yukari looked at Akua and Kahlua with a glare.

"They're going to be attending school here now," Kokoa said dully. The group looked at her with surprise then over to the sisters.

"Yeah, we're going to learn to be good… or something like that," Kahlua said looking down thoughtfully.

"We are here by request of our father. We mean you no trouble, I assure you," Akua said gently.

"No trouble? You nearly got us all killed! Hell, in one timeline you did kill us!" Kurumu shouted out.

"Why would your father want you to come here rather than beating you into the ground like you deserve?" Yukari growled out. All the vampire sisters and Gin looked to Tsukune, the group then looking to him as well while he nodded slowly in defeat.

"Because Tsukune claims they can be saved still. They are here as part of their atonement, and their only way to be accepted back into our family," Inner Moka said calmly.

"Tsukune? You wanted them to be saved?" Rason said in amazement. Tsukune nodded and looked to his friends.

"I only wanted their father to try to save his daughters rather than banishing them from their world forever. I didn't want them to suffer like that. They were used in the war, they didn't know what they were doing," he reasoned gently. Akua and Kahlua glanced to him with a bit of wonder as the group looked at Tsukune with disbelief.

"And why did you try to save them Tsukune?" Kurumu asked cautiously as she looked back to the sisters.

"Because my mate is very forgiving with those that try to kill him, as we've all seen," Inner Moka commented.

"That's going to be the death of you one day Tsukune," Dark said simply while shaking his head.

"I can't believe it. Those two are going to attend school with us?" Ahakon said with disbelief.

"Unfortunately. But don't worry, they won't do anything bad here, they're under a strict order from father to behave. And they're going to be kept a close eye on while here by their master," Kokoa said with a steady glare at her fallen sisters.

"Kept a close eye on? By their master?" Mizore asked curiously. Again all eyes fell on Tsukune, the boy just looking at the two sisters with a dull stare.

"Wait… are you saying…" Rason said slowly. Inner Moka and Kokoa nodded with smirks at Tsukune.

"Yep," Kokoa said with a giggle.

"As long as they are here, they belong to Tsukune," Inner Moka said with an arrogant smirk towards the two new vampires, the two girls who were looking at Tsukune with wonder while he shook his head slowly.

'Seriously, why me?'
