Dzerx: There are a couple of hints to Tsukumi's fate throughout what I have written so far, so feel free to draw conclusions from them

Darkstel: thanks for the review, I will probably be slowing down on the OCs temporarily, but there will be more OCs in the future as a part of Prism's father's organization, so there won't be as many in the upcoming chapters

Chapter 4: Meet the Clubs

One month since Prism has come to Yokai Academy, club recruitment day had begun. It began as every day before it did, walking to school with the girls.

Prism has slowly began to notice his absolute lack of male friends. Every morning, he receives glares from what feels like the entire yokai academy male student body, even though he knows that this isn't logically possible. After all, the entire male student body can't have him in their sights at all times.

This lack of male friends, has caused him to feel lonely even though he is surrounded by beautiful girls. He misses the conversations he had with his human friends when he lived in the human world. Conversations where he doesn't have to worry about accidentally insulting a girl with superhuman strength by saying something insensitive in a moment of stupidity.

Speaking of girls with superhuman strength, while Prism was thinking about his lack of male friends, Moka turned to Tsukumi while blushing surrounded by sparkly effects and asked, "It's... It's really all right? Tsukumi..."

Tsukumi looked at Moka with a similar blush on her face and stuttered, "Y-Yeah..." While she was blushing due to the atmosphere, Tsukumi thought to herself, why are we blushing? Is what I said embarrassing for Moka? Why am I blushing?

Moka leaned forward until her face was only an inch away from Tsukumi's face so it looked like they were about to kiss. As Moka leaned forward, she said, "Oh... I'm so happy Tsukumi..."

Off in the direction of Umbra, a camera shutter flashed, making Tsukumi worry about the blackmail material Umbra just got and wonder why she even took it and what she will use it for. Farther away, a passing student saw Tsukumi and Moka and had a nosebleed from the perceived romantic atmosphere surrounding the two girls. Tsukumi quietly said, "Moka..."

She was then interrupted by Moka talking again, "It's... the first time, you know..."

Then Moka lunged forward and finished her thought while biting into Tsukumi's neck and began to drink her blood, "...that you let me suck your blood!"

After Moka stopped sucking a slightly lightheaded Tsukumi's blood, Moka put her hands on the side of her face, closed her eyes, and twisted her waist back and forth oddly while saying, "Tsukumi's blood is so yummy."

This caused a slight twitch on Prism's forehead, as he said, "Don't over feed from her Moka, you know how frail she is, so be sure not to drain her too much."

Moka nodded and said, "I won't break her Prism. Don't worry!" Moka ended her sentence with a peace sign and a bright smile that caused Prism to have a slight smile from Moka's infectious attitude.

Off from the side, Umbra said, "Tsukumi looks a little off balance, someone should help support her."

When Tsukumi tried to deny this claim, Prism leant Tsukumi his shoulder causing her face to turn red when she thought of Moka's words of not breaking her when talking to Prism. She thought to herself Moka's not allowed to break me, but Prism can break me anyday.

When that thought entered her brain, she quickly widened her eyes and slapped her flushed cheeks, shook her head, and silently yelled in her mind BAD TSUKUMI! DON'T THINK OF THAT STUFF RIGHT NOW! WAIT TO THINK ABOUT THAT WHEN YOU HAVE A CHANCE TO BE ALONE TO AVOID RANDOMLY BLUSHING IN PUBLIC!

With the thoughts of what her traitorous mind wants to do with Prism being suppressed, she quickly ran ahead as Kurumu glared at her and whispered, "Don't have any ideas towards my Prism, Tsukumi, or... or I'll do something really mean."

Tsukumi looked to the flushed and flustered succubus in pity, because she was being glared at by Prism when she started to whisper aggressively in Tsukumi's ear. Despite the threatening words the succubus tried to say to Tsukumi earlier, Tsukumi patted her shoulder trying to console the girl as everyone walked towards the school.

Time skip

When homeroom started, Ms. Nekonome started the class off by saying, "This academy's goal is to train monsters to adapt to human society... just as I've been saying all along... SO THAT MEANS... STARTING TODAY YOU'RE ALL GOING TO TAKE UP CLUB ACTIVITIES!"

The more Ms. Nekonome talked, the more excited she seemed to get until she had one of the brightest smiles Prism had ever seen. Although this smile felt a little off due to Ms. Nekonome's constantly closed eyes that caused Prism to cock his head to the side as he entertained himself slightly by trying to guess what color eyes his teacher has while she started talking about how the students will get a deeper understanding of humans by experiencing human club activities.

After Prism decided that his teacher would look best with green eyes, he watched in pity as a male student mentioned Ms. Nekonome's tail being revealed and was then subsequently scratched by Ms. Nekonome's claws, a move that Prism has privately nicknamed 'Rawr,' after the sound Ms. Nekonome makes as she scratches the student before sending him back to his seat.

As the boy was walking back to his seat, Ms. Nekonome once again began to cheerfully talk about clubs, "Understand? Everyone will participate in club activities! Everyone, please visit a lot of groups and decide which one you want to enter! Be sure to visit the newspaper club that I'm the advisor for, ok!!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the entire class rushed to the door and soon found themselves in a large hallway with students bustling around with stands along the walls once they were in the corridor, Moka, Umbra, Tsukumi, and Prism grouped up and Moka asked, "What club do you think we should enter?"

After some thought, Tsukumi asked, "How about the swimming club?"

As she was saying this, Tsukumi was imagining Prism wearing only a pair of swim trunks leaving his exposed abdomen and legs for her viewing pleasure, causing her to miss the subtle flinch Moka made when she heard Tsukumi mention swimming.

While Tsukumi was fantasizing about a half-naked Prism, the subject of her fantasies was currently looking at one stall that seemed to have an ominous black aura surrounding it.

When he noticed the atmosphere, he said, "Can you guys wait for me for a bit? I want to go check something out."

With that said, Prism walked towards the stall, leaving Umbra, the only one who noticed Moka's flinch and who was currently looking at the pink haired girl with her usual expressionless face, alone with the brown-haired human and the pink-haired vampire who were currently being approached by a pale looking guy holding a camera who was tellling Moka and Tsukumi to join the phantom photography club, leading Tsukumi to quickly drag Moka away, leaving Umbra to handle the situation on her own.

With Prism

As Prism approached the stall-which turned out to be a food stall-, he noticed that there was a disproportionately large amount of people moaning in pain on the ground compared to the other food stalls.

Upon closer investigation, Prism saw a brightly smiling Nia with three shivering boys who were staring in horror and fear at the tray of food in front of Nia that had a sign that read 'free samples' in neat, tidy, and feminine looking handwriting that made Prism wonder if Nia was the one who wrote the sign.

The food on the tray looked perfectly normal, little chocolate cupcakes with bright neon green icing, causing Prism to sweatdrop and think to himself I wonder what possessed her to use that color icing? Surely she can tell that is way to bright, it looks so bright that it seems to be radioactive.

As Prism approached the stand, he waved and said, "Hey Nia."

Nia's ears seemed to twitch slightly as she heard Prism's voice, then she turned around with one of the brightest smiles he had ever saw on a person and said, "Hi Prism! What happened to your hair? Do you want a free sample of my cooking?"

Here, Nia held the tray out towards Prism. Causing him to look at the other people in the booth who all were violently shaking there heads no, clearly trying to tell Prism to not do it.

When Prism looked at Nia, he saw the hope in her eyes as she looked at Prism, clearly wanting him to try her food, but directly under that hope, he saw a deep seated fear of rejection. Prism somehow knew that if he said no to the girl he would regret it, so, mustering up his courage, Prism grabbed one of the bite-sized cupcakes and popped it in his mouth.

The moment the cupcake hit his tongue, Prism tasted something off. After some thought, he realized that the cupcake he was eating had caused an uncomfortable feeling like whenever he is being given an x-ray, but hundreds of times worse, to spread across his body. However, upon the realization that it felt like the radiation of an x-ray, he relaxed because his body that was half-elemental would be fine.

Since radiation was a natural by-product of some elements, it wouldn't be lethal to him. In the worst case scenario he would have the runs for a day or two which would be embarrassing, but he would deal with it.

With his analysis of the radiation done, Prism managed to give Nia a thumbs up as he began to focus his tastebuds on the taste in his mouth that wasn't violently saturated with radiation.

He quickly regretted this course of action.

The moment he tasted the radiationless part of the cupcake, he wished he could refocus on the radiation. It would be less harmful to his health.

The taste was beyond an accurate description.

The best way Prism could think to describe it as was that Nia had somehow found a way to create a taste that perfectly captured the pain and despair of all the people in the world and made the chocolate cake part of the cupcake the crystallization of everything bad in the world.

Once this taste spread inside Prism, he could feel so many negative emotions seemed to sink into the depths of his body.

After swallowing the cupcake, Prism stayed silent for a second before Nia started shuffling uncomfortably and asked with tears in her eyes, "Did it taste alright?"

Seeing Nia's face, Prism mentally yelled NO! IT DID NOT TASTE ALRIGHT! But at the same time his mind yelled this, Prism's body responded with, "Yeah. It tasted fine."

Hearing his response as if he was having an out of body experience, Prism ruefully thought to himself It would feel as if I commited a sin if I made this girl cry because she makes bad food. She just feels like someone who wants some sort of affirmative confirmation. I just can't seem to bring myself to tell her that her food is a biohazard.

When Nia looked at him with tears eyes that told him she was on the verge of tears, she asked, "Really? Everyone else called my food the food that will lead the world to hell. Are you sure it's alright?"

Hearing this, Prism inwardly said, That was a very accurate description of what the taste of this food can do to a person, but outwardly he said, "Of course its alright. In fact..." DON'T SAY IT ME! Inner Prism yelled, but it was no use, "It was so good that I want to take it back with me. Do you mind if I bring the entire tray with me to share with my friends?" Outer Prism said.

Nia's face visibly brightened as she replied, "Sure, I don't mind."

Meanwhile Nia's three fellow club members are looking at Prism with tears streaming down their faces as they gave Prism three salutes with their arms and looked to be on the verge of worshipping him, however their joyful expressions quickly turned pale at Nia's next words, "I can always make more. I'm sure my club members would be more than willing to help taste test."

Hearing this, Prism looked at the three in pity before saying, "Ok then. See you later then, Nia."

Then, Prism hustled away to find his other friends. As he passed through the throng, Nia replied with a bright smile in his direction while watching him leave, "See you later Prism."

As Prism searches for Tsukumi, Umbra, Moka, or Kurumu, some students made the unfortunate decision to grab one of the cupcakes from hell as he passed, but Prism ignored them, more focused on finding his friends right now than worrying about the health of a bunch of strangers.

Time skip

After about fifteen minutes of searching, Prism heard a commotion from the direction of the pool and figured that since Tsukumi was unlucky enough to get into this school by accident, she would probably be unlucky enough to get into some big problem when searching for a club. Since she was with Umbra and Moka, he wasn't too worried about Tsukumi being in danger, so with an exasperated sigh filled with a slight trace of the kind of affection one would give a small dog who wandered off and came running back the moment it met a angry kitten, Prism ran over to find out just what kind of trouble Tsukumi had gotten in this time.

When Prism got to the pool, he saw a scene that he didn't expect to see. Kurumu was by the edge of the pool speaking to Tsukumi who was being held by a beautiful girl with long turquoise hair with yellow eyes, fins coming off the sides of her head, teeth that appear to be sharpened like a vampire's fangs, with an orange fish tail. The mermaid is wearing a purple bikini top that emphasizes her D-cup bust and a purple piece of cloth wrapped around her waist that hangs about a third of the way down her fish tail.

Looking at the scene, Prism noticed that Umbra was nowhere to be found and lightning seemed to be arcing out of the water. Looking at the lightning, Prism remembered that lightning was one of the signs that a powerful vampire was currently touching water.

Seeing this sign while remembering Tsukumi's lack of knowledge about the supernatural world, Prism cursed under his breath as he ran and jumped in the water, "Damn it!"

Seeing an unknown variable enter the area, the mermaid asked, "Who the hell are you?!"

Prism ignored the half fish half girl and dived down into the water and pulled Moka onto shore before mustering all the energy he can without damaging his seal further, keeping him from putting himself at risk by damaging his seal, and shoots a small bolt of elecricity at the mermaid in the hopes of distracting the girl and giving Tsukumi an opening to escape.

However, when the electricity hit the mermaid, it seemed to dissolve on the skin causing the girl to begin laughing hysterically, "Hahaha! I can't believe a low rank monster like yourself dares to fight a mermaid in her own territory! Now that I look at you, you look to have quite the tasty life force, almost as good as this Tsukumi girl's! How about you wait until after I've drained her life force and then I have yours for desert?! Just sit right there and wait your turn!"

Done speaking, the orange tailed girl opened her mouth just enough so that she could bite Tsukumi and drain her life force. A/N: Tamao's mermaid form is slightly different from canon in that she doesn't have gills on her face and when her mouth is open she doesn't change to have an unhinged jaw and multiple rows of teeth, but instead she only has one pair of teeth that are all sharpened like a vampire and she still has a human looking face, minus the fins and teeth.

Just before the mermaid could bite his friend and secret ward, Prism whispered to himself, "I'm going to regret this."

Then, without regard to his safety, formed a ball of electricity the size of his palm and threw it towards the mermaid. The mermaid's eyes widened as she quickly let go of Tsukumi, allowing the brown haired girl to swim towards Moka, and dodged the ball lightning causing it to continue flying forward until it hit the area of the pool where the other mermaids were draining their victims, causing them to scream in agony and fall unconscious, much to Prism's surprise as it showed him that the girl who had held Tsukumi in place was clearly much stronger than her fellow club members.

The last thing Prism was able to notice before blacking out was Tsukumi reaching Moka while Kurumu ran over towards Prism while yelling something.

However, at this point of time the ringing in Prism's ears had drowned out all other sound and he turned to take one last glance at the mermaid who forced him to draw energy through the cracks in his seal as pain stabbed everywhere in his body as he coughed out blood and his eyes rolled back in his head as he fainted, the last thing he noticed was the turquoise haired mermaid looking at him with a combination of fear and curiosity.

With Umbra

Umbra was currently watching Prism's confrontation with Ichinose from just past the fence that seperates the pool from the treeline. When Prism launched the ball of electricity, she realized that Prism was probably going to go through a period of time where his power would be weakened or he would be confined to a bed as a result of overdrawing his power.

As Tamao Ichinose-the swimming club president, who was also the mermaid that is currently attacking Prism-gets closer to Prism, Umbra tenses her muscles and prepares to rush in and kill the girl for trying to attack Prism, however, before she can follow through with that, a bright light emits from Moka as Tsukumi pulls of the rosary and Moka's body grows and her hair turns to silver while her green eyes become red.

Seeing Moka, Umbra freezes and sits back down to see how this plays out. "I knew she was a vampire, but I didn't expect her to be a sealed vampire. I should have been more wary of her. She seems like she may even be able to defeat me in battle. Luckily she is sealed most of the time, otherwise I would be in trouble," Umbra muttered while watching Moka jump into midair, when Tamao tried to attack the vampire while she was in midair, however Moka quickly punched the mermaid in the face before kicking her into the water while unconscious before landing on the ground next to a still stunned Tsukumi.

Then Umbra watched as Moka said something to Tsukumi before slapping her across the face, taking her rosary out of the shocked Tsukumi's hands, picked Prism up out of the water, and walked off, presumably to go to the infirmary. A couple of seconds later due to the shock of Moka slapping Tsukumi, Kurumu ran after the Vampire in the hopes of keeping Moka from being alone with Prism for too long.

Tsukumi stood still for a couple of seconds after Kurumu left before walking away with a gloomy air of depression surrounding her that was so dense it was keeping other people away from her in fear of picking up her depression just by being around her.

Seeing that Prism's friends were gone, Umbra walked over to the pool and pulled Tamao out of the water and brought her somewhere before she slapped the mermaid's face, waking her up.

The girl coughed as she felt that she was above water and quickly assumed her human form as she glared at the girl who had woken her up, "Wh-What do you want?!"

Umbra has a pleased look in her eye when she felt the fear radiating off of Tamao and asked, "Tamao Ichinose, What do you think of humans?"

The turquoise haired girl looked at the expressionless girl's eyes and saw black voids that caused her to shudder as she tried to make sense of the situation. I should have woken up in the infirmary where I would await judgement from the Public Safety Commission. Why did this Umbra girl take me away from there? What is she planning? And why do I feel like she's as strong as that vampire bitch that knocked me out, but unlike that almost kind-hearted vampire bitch who left me mostly uninjured besides her kick even after I tried to drain the life from her friends, I feel like if I offend this girl I'll disappear and be found dead in a ditch somewhere? Shivering at her thoughts, Tamao decided to ask the question that has been bothering her for a while, but is unable to keep a steady voice, "Wh-What do you want from me?"

Umbra gave a cold smile at Tamao's fear and replied, "I'll decide based on your answer to my question. What do you think of humans?"

Tamao thought about her answer and knew that somehow the girl in front of her would know if she lied and answered truthfully, "They're nothing but food. They don't deserve to rule the world, they're destroying nature and the population of supernatural beings is being decreased by the day thanks to their pollution."

Hearing this Umbra's false smile disappeared, But Tamao could see a slight twinkle in her eyes showing that that the dark eyed girl was pleased. The black haired girl said, "Good. I want you to leave the swimming club and join whatever club Prism joins as soon as he picks a club. For a couple of days starting tomorrow I have something to do, so watch over Prism for me while I'm gone. While you're at it, apologize to him and his friends and try to gain their trust."

Tamao nodded her head at Umbra's words to show she would follow her instructions. Seeing the nod, Umbra stepped into the shadow of a tree and began her run towards the prison that holds her boss, leaving Tamao alone to digest what she just agreed to do.

With Moka and Prism

After Moka carried an unconscious Prism to the infirmary and placed him on the bed, she looked around and saw that the nurse must be absent, then she put her rosary on, causing her hair to turn pink and her eyes to turn back to green.

When the transformation was complete, Moka's eyed rolled back in her head as her exhaustion from being submerged by water for a period of time, causing her to lay down on the bed next to Prism while draping an arm over his side, their clothes that have been soaked from jumping in the pool causing the bed's sheets to get more soaked the longer they lay there.

Several minutes later, slightly winded Kurumu ran into the room and immediately saw Moka lying in the same bed, causing her to say, "Just because *pant* you can run faster than me *pant* you think you can get cuddle time alone with my destined one! *pant* Well, we'll see about that!"

The fatigued succubus then lay down next to Prism on the opposite side of the bed from Moka, ignoring the wet bed, and said, "I think I need to lay down for a while."

With that, Kurumu wrapped her arms around the boy's neck and pulled his head back into her chest, with his face pointed in the direction of Moka.

A couple of hours later, Kurumu woke up to the sound of the nurse exiting the room, causing her to instantly look around sleepily, and ask, "What time is it?"

When no one answered, she saw that the nurse wasn't in the room at the moment. Looking down at Moka and Prism, Kurumu saw that the two were still asleep and showed no signs of waking up.

Realizing this, Kurumu sat down in the visitor's chair and looked at the two figures with worry. After sitting there for five minutes, the nurse entered the infirmary once again.

Upon seeing Kurumu in the chair, the nurse said, "Oh good you're still here. I needed to give you a excuse note for your energy exhaustion before yo-."

Without even waiting for the nurse to finish talking, Kurumu ran forward, stopping directly in front of the nurse, and asked the nurse with upturned eyes, "Are they going to be okay?!"

Hearing the girl's words, the nurse sighed and replied with a slight smile as she said, "Moka is going to be fine, she just suffers from a slight case of backlash from using her abilities while wet and just needs a couple of days worth of rest to get the water out of her system."

Hearing this, Kurumu sighed in relief hearing that Moka was going to be fine. Although she was her rival, Kurumu stil thought of the girl as a friend after she held no enmity to herself after she tried to take Prims away from her. After all Moka had been directly exposed to one of her species' most prominent weaknesses so she was in a more dangerous situation than Prism, who probably just used up his energy reserves and just needs some rest to recover them.

However, the nurse's next words caused Kurumu's assumptions to be shattered as her worry for Prism to skyrocket while a small seed of loathing for Moka and Tsukumi was placed in her heart for forcing Her Destined One in such a dangerous position, "Prism, on the other hand, has a different problem. While he won't die from it, his first seal is completely gone and the rest of his seals are severely weakened. In addition to that, he is now constantly leaking yokai energy into his surroundings, which will most likely cause more territorial and possessive yokai to feel the urge to kill him because they think he is trying to challenge their authority."

Hearing this, Kurumu clenched her fists and calmly said, "Oh, ok." Then noticing something, she once again asked another question, "Do you know when he is going to wake up?"

The nurse helplessly shrugged and replied, "I don't. He could wake up in the next second or he could wake up in a year. I can only tell that he will wake up when his new energy will stabilize, which will be visible when his monster traits disappear and he resumes his human form due to being able to control his energy once again, but I can't tell if that will be when his second seal breaks or if it will come before that. If I had to guess, however, he would probably wake up at some time within the next month."

Hearing the woman's words, Kurumu replied, "I see," before taking an excuse note from the nurse and going to her current period class, the last class of the day.

Watching the girl leave, the nurse whispered to herself, "I hope The Lord forgives me for my incompetence of letting Young Prism from getting injured severely enough to enter a coma. Otherwise he may have one of his spies deal with me."

Turning to look at Prism and Moka once more, the nurse turned around and entered her office to fill out paperwork and as she hopes she will live to see the day where her Lord's vision is fulfilled.

With Tsukumi

Being alone in class without Prism, Moka, and Umbra-Who mysteriously vanished after Moka and Prism were taken to the infirmary-made Tsukumi realize just how few people she knew in this school and reminded her that she was now without any S-rank monsters to help protect her from everyone else.

As she absentmindedly took notes during the teacher's lecture on the basic structure of cells, Tsukumi began to notice the difference in the atmosphere that being alone in a room full of monsters that would kill her the moment they found out she's human was, as opposed to being in a room full of monsters that would kill her the moment they found out she's human with Prism sitting nearby her along with Moka and Umbra being nearby.

For one thing, Tsukumi felt a lot more lustful,burning gazes that lingered on her longer than she felt comfortable with aimed in her direction. In addition to that, she felt more malicious gazes that seemed to be malicious solely for the sake of being malicious trained on her.

Ever since she came back from the club meet and greet, she noticed that although there were more unwanted gazes, Tsukumi also sensed more gazes that felt curious or were pitying her, having heard about how she was caught up in the swimming club's scheme and two of her friends were sent to the infirmary while a third just disappeared.

The longer she felt the gazes, the faster Tsukumi wanted to get out of everyone's line of sight.

So when the end of class bell rang, Tsukumi was out of the door before any of her classmates had even packed up their stuff, leaving while the teacher was in the middle of assigning homework.

The first thing the human girl did was run straight to her only other friend's classroom.

Less than two minutes after the bell had rang, Tsukumi was standing in front of Kurumu's classroom, a classroom identical to Tsukumi's in every way with the exception of the Number on the plaque by the door.

After a couple of minutes, Kurumu came out of the classroom, causing Tsukumi's eyes to brighten and quickly walk towards the blue haired succubus and ask, "Kurumu! Do you want to walk back together?"

With a slightly forced smile, Kurumu replied, "Sure."

Tsukumi and Kurumu walked back to the dorms together like they usually do, except without the rest of their group.

As the two walked, Tsukumi felt a larger and larger tension grow between herself and the succubus as they walked to and from the dorms for the next two days.

Two days after the Tsukumi tried to join the swimming club, she had finally had enough. On the way back to their dorms, Tsukumi turned towards the blue haired girl and asked, "What is the matter with you!? For the last few days, I've felt like I was forcing you to do something you didn't want to do every time we walked to or from our dorms! What the heck is the problem?!"

Hearing Tsukumi's words, Kurumu had finally dropped the fake smile she had been sporting the entire time she had been with Tsukumi and coldly asked, "Do you want to know the reason I dislike walking alone with you?"

When Tsukumi tentatively nodded her head, causing Kurumu to virtually yell, with tears in her eyes, "The reason I dislike our walks is because spending time alone with you is forcing me to remember that Prism is in a coma and Moka is still unconscious from fighting the president of the swim club! The reason I dislike these walls is because each day I'm walking with the person responsible for the fight that put them in those states! The reason they are both unresponsive is because of you!"

Done speaking, Kurumu turned to walk away, but Tsukumi's voice caused her to pause, "You think I don't know that?! Why do you think I've avoided going to the infirmary like you everyday?! I just can't face them as long as their in that state because of me!"

Tears started streaming down Tsukumi's face as she continued, "I just *sob* wish I wasn't so damn *sob* weak that I had to rely on them to save me *sob* every time!"

Kurumu turned to look Tsukumi straight in the eyes as she glared at the brown haired girl and asked, "If you're so weak, why don't you just get stronger and stop whining about it. Maybe then you'll be able to have some amount of independence from Prism and you'll be able to show to him that you don't need his protection anymore."

With that said, Kurumu turned on her heel and walked to the dorm alone, leaving Tsukumi to think about her words, I want to become stronger, but how would I do that?

After thinking about it for five minutes, Tsukumi walked slowly back to the dorms, constantly turning over the succibis's words as she went, before finally deciding on a plan of action right before she went to bed. The first thing I need to do is learn as much as I can about the species of this academy as I can.

With her plan thought of, Tsukumi went into a restless sleep, haunted nightmares of the way Moka and Prism were injured because of her actions, with the words 'It's your fault! It's all your fault!' Echoing through her head.

A/N: sorry it took so long to get this chapter out, but I've had to deal with my senior year, work, and a general lack of inspiration for this fic. I have a couple of fics in progress that I haven't had a lack of inspiration for, but I decided that I wanted to start making the prologue and first ten chapters of a fic before I publish it so I give people who wish to read my work a decent amount of writing before I take a long time to update due to having an idea of where to go, but trying to thing of the way to get there.
