Hello everyone thank you so much for reading! I am so sorry that it took me so long to update this but here it is! I hope you all enjoy!

CHAPTER 9

Everyone stared blankly at the blue haired succubus at hearing her news, until finally after a few minutes of silence Moka spoke up and asked. "So when is he coming?" Kurumu gulped as she managed to spit out the words.

"Any minute now."

"Should we go great him in Gin's place?" Outer Moka asked.

After a few minutes of talk they all agreed that they probably should so they all headed to the main hall, the people who stood there waiting for him were Tsukune, Kokoa, Moka (currently outer version), Mizore, Yukari, Ruby, and kurumu. Before long they could feel his presence reviling that he was here. The few candles that were lit flickered out of existence as the huge solid oak doors to the hospital slowly began to creek open, his yokai alone was enough to cause everyone to stand still as they cautiously awaited the arrival of the second great leader and also the man who was Gin's father. Unlike Issa he did not try to conceal his yokai at all or try to hide his power to just his raw energy alone made Yukari fall to her knees and even made ruby feel ill. After a few seconds the door burst open and a man of great height burst into the door. He stood easily well over 6 foot tall; his shoulders were large and muscular. He had dirty blond hair that was kept trimmed just right and also a full go t on his face. His eyes were dark blue and if you gazed into them it seemed as if you stared directly into an endless pit where he appeared to capture you in his gaze as his eyes pierced through your very soul.

Snap! Faster than a snap of the fingers he seemed to teleport as he moved so fast to where he now stood in front of kurumu a few small flames appeared in-between where he was standing and where he stood now. He stood looking down at her for a few seconds before reaching up and placing his rough hand on her tender cheek. Everyone stood in awe for though he moved so fast that he seemed to teleport his posture was as if he hadn't moved at all. Kurumu's heart skipped a beat as he began to part his lips and speak.

"…. Oh holy crap I never knew that the babes here were such hotties!"

Everyone's face dropped out of shock as Zeldon pulled out a camera and jumped back and forth between all of the girls taking pictures of them, in the same manor that Gin would always do. Smash! Out of natural reflex Kurumu punched him over the head like she does Gin but then regretted it a little as she sighed "Man he really is his father." Zeldon quickly regained his composure as he stood up and apologized to the girls. Moka was standing in front of the other girls as she bowed politely and said.

"Your son is this way sir, would you like us to take you to him?"

Zeldon had a confused look on his face but before he could say anything he was interrupted as he heard a voice from the past calling out to him from behind the girls.

"What's up pops? How's life been treating you?"

All of the girls quickly moved off to the side to reveal Gin standing there on a crutch smiling his usual playboy smile as he looked onto his father. ! Smash! Everyone's heart sank as they saw Zeldon's face turn bright red with rage as he ran forward and punched his son in the face causing him to fall over. After he hit the ground Zeldon kicked him across the room causing him to smash into the wall, which only caused him even farther injuries. Zeldon began stomping across the floor as he began to yell out.

"Damn you! How dare you show your face in front of me! And even worse you dare call me your father!? I told you, you have disgraced me and that I don't have a son now!"

He was just about to kick Gin again but stopped when he saw that all of his friends stood in-between the two of them. They all seamed furious and the first to talk was kurumu as she yelled out.

"What in the hell is going on here!? Look we don't know what your problem is but we don't give a fuck either! Gin is already hurt and you can't just go around hitting him for no reason!"

"Get out of my way stupid girl this is between him and me."

He went to shoo her away with his hand but it was caught by moka. Zeldon turned and glared at the pink haired girl and then down to her side at the younger shuzen sister and began to grit his teeth as he growled.

"You are the third daughter of Issa shuzen and you are the fourth and youngest of his brats, correct? You two have a lot of nerve trying to interfere with my business with Gin! Didn't your father teach you any manors?"

He then drew his hand back and went to slap Moka across the face. Tsukune immediately charged to try and stop the fight whereas Moka just flinched and looked down and prepared for the slap but when it didn't happen and she heard the gasp of some of her friends she slowly opened her eyes and to her amazement there stood her father in front of her and he had caught Zeldon's hand and was glaring at him evilly. His voice spoke like thunder throughout the otherwise silent hall as he spoke.

"So, Zeldon, I see that your temper hasn't changed at all and I do admit that my daughters, interfering in your business was wrong, but if you ever do or try to hit them ever again, and I mean any of my daughters, you will haft to answer to me!"

Two stood there and glared at each other for a few minutes but eventually Zeldon backed down and turned to walk away, but as he was walking he called back over his shoulder to Issa as he said.

"I only came here by request of the headmaster to discuss business with you two and no other reason so hurry the hell up and meet us in his office!" And with that he walked off.

Issa, surprisingly, didn't even turn around or say anything to anyone but slowly fallowed Zeldon.

Everyone was snatched out of their blank stares as they heard coughing. They all turned around to see Gin trying to stand but was failing as he coughed up blood.

"Here let me help you to your room." Kurumu said while helping him stand.

"Hey everyone why don't you go and I'll catch up later."

The rest of the group left the hospital and went who knows where and Kurumu helped Gin back to his room. Gin was lying down in his bed and Kurumu was sitting down in the chair beside him and just saying that her heart was in turmoil would be a huge understatement. The person she thought was the love of her life has a new girlfriend now, they have probably even had sex, and she felt all alone but now here is this guy she has hated for so long and he just risked his life to save her. She sat there searching the very bottom of her heart and soul for an answer…no even just a trace of an answer to her question, an answer to what path she should choose. She looked over at Gin who lay calmly in his bed with his eyes closed resting. Suddenly his eyes burst open out of pure shock as he felt a warm pair of lips against his own. He was flabbergasted to say the least as his eyes fell onto Kurumu who was leaning over top of him with her lips pressed against his. After getting over the shock he closed his eyes and returned the kiss. The room was completely dark being that the window was covered by the blinds, but if you could see the fire that was burning in their hearts the entire room… no hospital would be light up. Finally when their lips parted Gin looked at Kurumu with confused eyes and Kurumu sat there looking just as confused as he did. Gin's heart frowned as he heard Kurumu say.

"I'm sorry I don't know what I'm doing." As she then turn around and ran away leaving a confused Gin where he sat.

MEANWHILE

The rest of the group had left the hospital; everyone was off doing their own thing but the two sisters and Tsukune where together discussing their plan on what to do from here. Tsukune started by asking Moka a very important question, so important it might just make a difrence in this entire war.

"Moka, we need to know, what is the secret to you undoing your rosary seal? That is something we need to know. And also why didn't you tell anyone?"

Moka blushed and looked down shyly as she began by saying.

"Toho said that with the way things are now I can undo the seal myself under the conditions that both ME's agree and that the balance of one of our hearts is greatly broke. It could be extreme sadness, happiness, anger… anything really."

Tsukune didn't say much of anything after that but mostly just stood there thinking for a few minutes. He was deep in thought for a few seconds but was soon brought out of his thoughts as he heard a young high pitch voice yelling out at the top of his lungs.

"Miss Kokoa Sama! Miss Kokos sama! I'm back! I missed you so much! Please tell me you didn't forget about me!"

They all turned around and watched as they were amazed as a small blond haired boy ran up to Kokoa and wrapped his arms around her legs indicating that he was trying to give her a hug. After a few moments to get over the shock Kokoa recognized the young boy and barley managed to stammer out.

"Kontaro, it's you, what are you doing here?"

"I came to see you miss, Kokoa!"

Kokoa at this time realized the confused stares coming from both her lover and her sister so she began to introduce everyone.

"Moka, Tsukune, this is Kontaro, you remember me telling you about him, don't you?"

"Yeah, of course, I do It's nice to finally meet you Kontaro." Tsukune replied.

After giving each other their greetings Kontaro asked to play with the three teens, who obliged, they played a multitude of different games for several hours before Kontaro said that he had to head home. Though he tried to hide it Tsukune and the other girls could easily tell that he deeply cared for Kokoa, from the bottom of his heart. The sun was starting to set on this confusing day so they decided to head home. Moka headed towards the female dorms, whereas, Kokoa fallowed Tsukune to the male dorms. The two walked in silence, side by side, while holding hands. Kokoa observed the depressed expression on her boyfriend's face as they walked all the way to the dorm. She didn't know whether she should ask him what the trouble was or if she should let him be. He appeared to be in deep thought the entire time, so much so it seemed as if he was completely ignoring her, and everything around him. As soon as they reached the dorm Tsukune let out a defeated sigh, that didn't go unnoticed by Kokoa. He nonchalantly walked into the room and took his shirt off while crawling into bed. He laid there with one arm hanging off of the edge of the bed and the other over his chest as he stared blankly at the ceiling, by now it came evidently clear that he was deep in thought, to Kokoa. She was slightly concerned for some reason, she didn't know why though. Granted she knew Tsukune was a "big boy" and could take care of himself but she couldn't help but to worry about him. She crawled into bed along with him after stripping down to her under garments. She tried to seduce him with her lips as she planted hers kindly against his own, but that didn't even seem to matter to Tsukune as he soon pushed her off of him, and wrapped his arm around her and held her close to his chest. She laid there silently with her head pressed against his chest, as she listen to the quite beating noise of his heart as it beat slowly and as consistently as that of a steady beating drum. They laid there together for what seemed like hours before Kokoa could start to feel the toll of the day take its place on her. She laid there fighting back her own eyelids as they threatened to close and engulf her into the sleep she desired, but she desired to stay awake more in order to try and figure out what Tsukune was thinking about, her resistance soon faded her as she dosed off while pushing her entire body into him. She dozed for who knows how long, it felt like only a few minutes but it could have been hours, but when she awoke she saw that Tsukune was nowhere to be found and the moon was high in the sky.

MEANWHILE, WHERE TSUKUNE IS

The hallway was nearly pitch black as the young teen slowly and silently walked across the floor in order to reach the desired room at the end of the hall. The only sources of light were from the few scattered torches here and there but soon they illuminated the huge door that served as the gate that stood in-between him and his desired destination. He raised a hesitant hand against the door signaling that he was asking for permission to enter. His heart beat rapidly with both worry and excitement of his depending fate. A creaking noise was soon heard as the giant door slowly opened revealing the person on the other side. They stood tall and proud as they looked down at Tsukune.

"Why have you come here?" They asked casually.

"I came to ask you…. No beg you to please start my training immediately. Please Issa I beg of you."

"You come here at this hour to beg for my training now? Why?"

"It's because I feel I need to start immediately and get as strong as possible, because I realized something… something important, after seeing the results of Gin's battle with Soujiro. It's as you expected I can't transform into my vampire form at will and when I do I lose control, and if all I can fight in is my human form I am way weaker than Gin and he barely managed to fend off Soujiro who I am sure is not the strongest in their group.."

The rest of Tsukune's long speech was cut off by Issa as he said.

"I see so long story short is you realized how weak you truly are in comparison without that form and you want to start training immediately in order to learn how to control your vampire self. Am I correct?"

Words escaped Tsukune so he merely shook his head as he continued to listen.

"You do realize that this training could cost you your pathetic life?"

"Yes sir, that's why I didn't tell anyone that I was coming here, I knew that if I did Kokoa and the other girls would have tried to stop me."

"Very well than we shall begin at once. We will train in a secret location, the same location where you trained once before."

The two then headed towards the headmaster's room. The walk was completely silent as the two walked towards their destination. Back when they first meet Tsukune was honestly scared as hell of Issa just his name alone struck a little fear into his heart and he could never walk beside him, but now he didn't so much mind being around him, he honestly felt a little more at ease around him. When they finally got to their destination inside of the headmaster's office, the headmaster was nowhere to be found, so without wasting anytime Issa opened the secret door that would lead them into their training ground. Tsukune again stood back and marveled at the door that leads into another dimension. The door emitted a bright light that made Tsukune squint for a second or two until the brightness came down.

"Shall we go?" Issa asked.

"Yes." Tsukune replied.

Just as they were about to walk in they stopped as a familiar female voice hit their ears. They turned around and to their surprise they saw Kokoa, Moka, Kurumu, Mizore, Yukari, Ruby, and Gin standing there.

"Wha.. What are you guys doing here? How did you find us?"

"You idiot! (Slap! Tsukune was lightly slapped on the backside of the head as Kokoa stood there glaring at him) How could you just run off without telling any of us?"

"I'm sorry I just didn't want you guys to try and stop me."

"Don't worry we won't… just make sure you come back safe and sound! You got that Tsukune!" Kurumu yelled from the back.

"Thank you everyone I don't know how long I'll be gone but I will come back as soon as I can!"

Tsukune said this while waving his hand and turning around to enter the gate but before he could leave he felt someone grab his hand and fling him around. He was puzzled at first on why someone was spinning him around like that but before he could react or say anything at all he felt Kokoa plant her warm lips against his. He closed his eyes and began to return the kiss which continued to get deeper and deeper as the passion grew. Everyone stared blankly at the two making out and Issa was deeply annoyed at watching his daughter making out with her boyfriend but none of that mattered to the two as the rest of the world seamed to turn black and vanish leaving them alone. When their lips finally parted the two stared at each other for a few seconds as smiles grew on their faces. The two then departed as Tsukune then left to begin his training. The girls all watched as the door closed and then they all went their separate ways, but before they left Gin made a statement that everyone agreed on.

"Well everyone Tsukune is training to get stronger so I think that all of us should as well."

Kokoa walked through the empty hall of the school as she walked up to the public telephones. She picked up the handle and put a few quarters into the machine and dialed the familiar number.

"Hello, Shuzen estate how may I help you." One of the maids said as they answered the phone.

"Hello, this is Kokoa I am calling from Yokai academy and I would like a car sent to pick me up please. I plan to return home for a while."

"Yes, of course, my lady it will be sent out immediately."

Kokoa spent the next few hours packing until a limo pulled up to the female dorms. She walked down with her luggage and threw it in the car as she also got in herself. The driver was kind and greeted her with a smile and asked her if she would like anything to drink or something to snack on. She kindly turned down his offer to food but did accept a nice glass of blood. She rode in the car for about thirty minutes until she dozed off again and by the time she awoke she was glad to see that they were pulling into her long driveway. When the car finally stopped moving she waited for the driver to come around and open her door for her. After he did so she graciously stepped out and thanked him for his services by handing him a couple of ones for his services at this late hour. She walked slowly as she slowly entered her home. She walked in to see that absolutely nothing had changed since the last time she had been home. The house was completely spotless, thanks to all of the hard work of the maids. As she made her way through the house to her room every servant that saw her quickly bowed their heads and asked if they could help with anything. Kokoa's response was always the same

"No, but thank you."

In the past she would always get so frustrated at her servants for constantly asking her and she never appreciated them at all but now she has begun to notice everything they do, do for her so she has begun to treat them nicer. She finally made it to her large room and was finally relieved as she practically flew onto her own bed. The beds at the school weren't exactly bad at all but compared to her bed they were as hard as a rock, and besides we all know that there is no bed like your own. Kokoa laid in the center of her king sized bed thinking about her Tsukune and everything else that has happened up to this point, and before she knew it sleep crept up on her again and she soon fell into the world of dreams for the last time that night. She has no idea how long she was asleep but she awoke to the sensation of someone sitting on the bed beside her and graciously rubbing their soft silk like hand across her cheek. Ordinarily she would have instantly jumped back and launched at whoever it was sitting beside her out of paranoia of being attacked but she already knew who it was, how couldn't she recognize her?

"Good morning sleepy head, I'm sorry to wake you but when I got home and heard that you were here and would be staying for a while I was so happy that I had to come see you."

The red head slowly opened her eyes and rubbed them a little trying to get rid of the sleep residue hanging on her eyes as she leaned forward and wrapped the person in front of her in a tight hug.

"Good morning Kahula nii san, and don't worry about it."

Kokoa's older, and only one hundred percent, sister sat on the bed with her with a huge smile on her face as she returned the hug. Kahula lived for times like these with her sisters, it truly filled her with joy from the bottom of her heart. Kahula was always forced to be an assassin she was even forced to try and kill her two youngest sisters, but she truly hated fighting from the bottom of her heart. In the past it always brought Kahula pain at the fact that her youngest beloved sister feared her and would never be around her, but now that her mother was gone Kokoa and Kahula have grown rather close after their conflict with each other at fairy tail. They would often times do things together, such as, spar, go shopping, talk, and other odds and ends.

"Breakfast is ready so come on down after you get ready ok? It will just be the three of us."

The elder Shuzen sister then turned and left her sisters room to leave her alone for a few minutes to get ready. It didn't take long until Kokoa was down stairs and entering the large dining room. When she walked in she saw that the large table was filled with a large amount of food and at the head of the table sat Aqua and at the other end sat Kahula. There was a single chair in the middle of the table which she took as her own.

"So while daddy is away and being as mother is gone which one of you as taken temporary role as head of the household, until daddy returns?" Kokoa asked.

"Unfortunately, I have." Said Aqua.

The rest of the meal was rather silent but after it was over Kokoa cleared her throat in order to get the attention of the elder two sisters.

"Hey guys, could I ask a huge favor of the two of you?"
"Of course you can!" Kahula said.

"Please train me! Please I am begging you two to train me! Everyone else is training in order to get stronger and I want to be stronger as well!"

Kokoa's tone was a clear indication that she truly was begging them to help her get stronger. Kahula turned and looked at her older sister as Aqua stood up and slowly started to walk towards the door of the large room.

"Kahula, Kokoa, please come with me."

"Where are we going?" Asked Kokoa

"To begin your training of course."
