Chapter 4: Amateur Journalism and Horndogs

It was yet another day at the secret Monster Academy. A private school staffed by monsters for monsters to help them better integrate and hide their identities amongst other humans. To blend in effectively, yet even these powerful creatures fear their identities revealed to other humans who have hunted their kind for generations in the past to such an extent that the overall monster population of various species and races barely hovered above a few million while the human world had long since believed monsters to be mere fantasy and legend. Folklore to scare and entertain little children.

The students who attend this academy must abide by the rule to never reveal their true form to their fellow students, even most of the faculty. This was training for when they enter the human world and their human form was the only true form of protection they had against an otherwise weak life form compared to the supernatural strength and abilities of the various monsters. Many of these students and even some of the faculty have stated their discontent, their hatred of humanity. There are even those who have claimed to have eaten a human or two, though these declarations have yet to be confirmed and may be little more then chest beating between th students. Truth be told, even though humans smell delicious enough to monsters to feast upon them without a second thought and have the will and strength to do so, these monsters actually live in fear of humans even if they don’t admit it openly or consciously. If only for the fact that their kind had been pushed to the brink of extinction and revealing their true nature within the human world with enough witnesses actually makes them vulnerable.

Few students, however, think of such thoughts as they walk down the paths that lead from the Student Dormitories to the main school buildings to which many will spend the next three years attending and studying in preparation for not only entry into the human world, but also of adulthood. These students are but the next generation of monsters whose actions may decide the fate of all monsters upon the planet, no matter how small the resulting action. However, such thoughts rarely appear upon the minds of these students who are already occupied with the stresses of high school life: social activities and interacting with like minded individuals, studying and reflecting upon lessons in class, daydreaming of how wonderful their lives will be upon graduation.

“Onegai, Tsukune!” The pink haired vampire pleaded. “I wanna suck your blood!”

And some students could not think beyond the need to feed as Tsukune could claim. He turned automatically to his right and try to argue his way out of a painful morning that involved a vampire drinking his blood, but that spot was vacant of his cousin. He mentally slapped himself in the head. ‘Oh right, he left earlier to explore the academy “properly” as he said.’

Whatever thoughts Tsukune would have had following the recall of memory, they were broken when he felt the painful bolts of electricity as fangs sank into his flesh. “Kappu-chu!”

“ITAIIII!!!” Tsukune exclaimed in pain as Moka drank his blood as breakfast. Once she was finished, the vampire pulled away and dove into her own little world as she reminisced the taste and texture of the blood that she had just ‘sampled’ from the poor boy’s veins.

“Gochisosama-deshita, Tsukune! Your’s is the best after all!” Moka blushed as she cupped her cheeks in embarrassment.

Tsukune, at that time, was leaning against a tree and supporting his own weight with his arm as he attempted to recover from the all too familiar blood loss and the resulting light headed feeling. ‘One of these days, Moka-san will get me killed through blood loss...’

“Ohayo, Tsukune-kun!” Kurumu greeted as she approached her self-declared fiancee. “Today we start going to the club, soo ka ne?”

“Gah! Kurumu-chan!” Tsukune exclaimed as Kurumu embraced his head deep within her bosom, unknowingly suffocating him.

“I’m so happy that I can be in the same club as you, Tsukune-kun!” Kurumu exclaimed, though she plotted internally. ‘Tsukune-kun is MY Destined One, so just watch me deepen my connection with Tsukune into a full and lovely relationship, even marriage. Because I will NOT lose to you Akashiya Moka!’

The two monster girls, Moka the vampire and Kurumu the succubus, performed their near daily routine of a dueling stare in an attempt to overpower the other by sight alone.

Suddenly, the two heard a whistle coming from atop the wall that lined the way towards the main academy gates leading to the campus grounds. They looked up to see Lou standing atop of it with no worries of falling.

“Lou!” Moka exclaimed.

“Why are you here?” Kurumu asked, Tsukune still struggling to breath within her arms.

“My ‘proper’ exploration of the school was quicker then I had planned.” Lou explained just before he made a daring leap off the wall and towards a nearby tree and using its bark to slow his downward speed before kicking off of it and landing upon the ground just before the trio. “I thought I was gonna meet yah guys at class. Oh and Pamela?”

“Hai?” Kurumu replied, by now gotten used to Lou’s nickname for her. A form of endearment outside of family as Tsukune explained.

“You’re killin’ him.” Lou stated as he pointed at his cousin whose limbs were beginning to limp. Naturally, the girls panicked.

“Tsukune!” Moka exclaimed.

“Hang in there, Tsukune-kun!” Kurumu pleaded as she attempted to shake Tsukune back into consciousness. Lou, simply shook his head from the spectacle.

“I swear, between the two of you, Tsukune won’t be able to live an entire year, let alone three, at this pace.” Lou groaned.

“That’s not a nice thing to say, Lou-san!” Kurumu scolded.

“Well then stop giving me excuses to do so. How am I suppose to face the rest of the family if I had to bring back an asphyxiated corps of my own cousin?” Lou countered just when Tsukune had awakened.

“What happened?” Tsukune asked in a daze before he laid his eyes upon Lou. “Ara, you’re back?”

“Yeah. The place wasn’t as expansive as I had originally thought for my Parkour and Freerunnin’.” Lou explained. “You think that with a place looking like that it’ll be great for that kind of stuff. Granted, I found some great short cuts and such, but not as much as I hoped.”

The group then heard the bell toll at a distance. “We had better hurry so that we aren’t tardy!” Moka explained as she grasped both Tsukune’s and Lou’s own wrists. “Hayaku! Hayaku!”

“Don’t you get tired of doing this EVERYDAY?!” Lou exclaimed as once again his cousin and himself are being dragged by Moka.

“Ano ne! Don’t drag my Destined One like that!” Kurumu exclaimed as she dashed in chase after the trio.

“Sore dewa, minna, thanks for joining my club!” Nekonome welcomed the new members of the Newspaper Club. “So lets begin! The club activities of the Monster Academy Newspaper Club!”

The group then looked around the classroom, noticing that there were no others beyond the cousins, the vampire and succubus. To say that the group were surprised by this fact was not a good enough description.

‘Apparently this club isn’t very popular membership wise.’ Lou mentally noted. ‘Not a good sign.’

“Sensei,” Tsukune asked. “I just fell into this club and don’t know anything about it, demo..... is it really just us four?”

“Don’t be silly!” Nekonome answered Tsukune’s inquiry.

“Sumimasen.” a voice called out.

“Miru, here he comes, the only other member.” Nekonome explained as the door slid open to reveal an older student whose unkempt, shoulder length hair was kept in check by a head band and wore a necklace that had a wolf’s head hanging from it. In his arms were two bouquets of roses.

“Gomen! Here I am, late on the first day!” The older student apologized before introducing himself. “Aisatsu! I’m the president of the Newspaper Club, Morioka Ginei. Pleased to meet yah!”

Tsukune was still recovering from the revelation that this individual before them was the president of the club that they’ve all had joined. “Somehow,” Lou began “I imagined the president of the School Newspaper to be....I don’t know...geeky.”

“Waa! The teacher told me about you, what a beautiful club member you are!” Gin flattered as he passed both bouquets to Moka and Kurumu. “You may call me ‘Gin’. Red flowers, especially roses, are always suitable for such lovely ladies!”

The vampire and succubus simply did not know what to make of this character.

“Gin-kun is the only Second Year Club Member.” Nekonome explained. “And we don’t have any Third Year members, so just ask Gin-kun anything that you may want to know about the Newspaper club, daijoobu?”

“You can always count on me!” Gin assured the group.

“Tsukune-kun,” Kurumu whispered to Tsukune as she leaned up against his body. “I’m not good with this kind of flirty guy!”

“Sore dewa, I must be going. I have a staff meeting to attend.” Nekonome stated as she began to leave the room. She then turned towards Gin. “Take care of the rest of the club proceedings, Gin-kun.”

“Ookee, leave it to me!” Gin replied.

“Nani?! You’ve gotta go already?!” Tsukune exclaimed.

“Ain’t this considered ‘abandonment’ legally?” Lou wondered out loud.

“Gomen ne, see you all later, minna!” The teacher apologized before she closed the door. “Make friends with your sempai, ookee!”

Gin then took his place at the teacher’s desk. “Ano, well let’s see. First I’ll give you all an explanation of what kind of club this is! The goal of the Newspaper Club is to publish the school newspaper! Most of your activities will be to report on the happenings and going ons of any kind here at Monster Academy! We’ll be put into dangerous situations time and time again for the sake of reporting!! I’ll tell yah right now, this ain’t going to be some easy ride!! Once you’ve joined, you should prepare yourself!”

Silence engulfed the room as the group absorbed what Gin had relayed to the group.

“He seems like....” Moka began. “Someone we can depend on right?”

“He definitely sounds like a School Newspaper president, despite his earlier actions.” Lou added. “Though I gotta admit, I’m kinda worried about that ‘dangerous’ part he mentioned-”

“Just messing with yah!” Gin joked.

“Don’t joke like that!!” Lou exclaimed, barely fighting the urge to find something heavy to slam atop of the Second Year’s head, not caring what monster he truly was at the moment.

“Gomen. Let’s just have some fun with out the strict talk. But before we begin, we need to get back to business: reporting. If you have any materiel to report, speak up.” Gin asked the group. There was a moment of silence before Kurumu spoke up.

“Sono toori!” The succubus exclaimed, recalling what information she had gained. “The serial peeping case!”

“‘Peeping’?” Tsukune asked.

“I heard that there’s someone peeping on the girls in the school recently. And that he’s so fast that no one is able to see his face clearly yet.” Kurumu explained.

“Excellent case!”Gin congratulated. “We will find this ‘Serial Peeper’ and expose him in the newspaper! To do that, we will have to find people who have information regarding these incidents before moving further into the investigation!”

“How do we find them?” Tsukune asked.

“The basis of reporting is...go around asking for the information and asking for help from the public.” Gin answered.

“Yeah but aren’t we the Newspaper Club?” Lou asked. “That is to say, isn’t our job suppose to be to ‘report’ the case rater then investigate the matter?”

“Simple: It will be an exclusive, hands-on story!” Gin answered.

“But we’re the ONLY newspaper in the entire school. The school newspaper to be exact.” Lou dead panned.

“All the more need to give our readers the best stories to report.” Gin noted before showing the group a poster. “While we’re out investigating, we should spread our advertisement as well! We can start by hanging some on the back wall.”

“Again, we’re the only newspaper in town.” Lou stated.

“Alright then, I’ll need you two to hang the posters.” Gin directed Kurumu and Moka before facing the cousins. “You guys just need to carry and organize the posters.”

“Actually, Gin Rummy, my cousin and myself will take the poster hangin’.” Lou offered.

“‘Gin Rummy’?” Gin wondered.

“Nani?! Naze?” Tsukune asked.

“Let me put it in words that ALL of you should be able to comprehend.” Lou began. “Pamela and Pinkie here wear miniskirts,” He thumbed in the direction of Kurumu and Moka. “My cousin and I wear pants. Their underwear can be easily seen at low angles, ours not so much.”

Both Kurumu and Moka gasped from this revelation as they unintentionally covered themselves as if they were being peeped at. “Yeah, you’ll need to think that so you don’t find yourselves victims of the peeper’s peepers.”

“Good advise.” Gin stated. “You should be able to use some chairs as support.”

“Noted.” Lou stated as he and Tsukune commandeered some chairs from the desks and headed towards the back room while Moka and Kurumu began organizing the posters, noting how strange and weird they looked.

“Ne, Lou-kun?” Tsukune began.

“What? What is it?” Lou asked.

“You remember what Kurumu-chan said about the peeper moving fast, soo desu ka?”

“And you think that someone’s using their true form?”

“Choodo! Which means that we would have to prepare ourselves in case we do meet the peeper.” Tsukune stated.

“Yeah, but it’s still not much to go upon. I mean there are potentially hundreds of monster types that are probably renown for their speed.” Lou explained. “Even if we are able to clock the movement of moving out if sight to get a baseline speed, we just don’t know enough to plan properly.”

“But it IS something to start with.”

“True.” Lou stated as the cousins reached the back of the classroom and moved the chairs to act as impromptu stools. They were given a poster each and some tape by Moka to hang the posters up. “Thanks Pinkie.”

“Doo itashimashite!” Moka welcomed before she returned to her assigned task. The cousins then ascended the chairs and raised the posters.

“This alright?” Lou asked Gin, who so happened to assigned himself supervisor.

“Higher.” Gin replied as he strategically moved his foot near the two monster girls, a piece of mirror laid atop of it.

Lou and Tsukune raised the placement of the posters, simply holding them to ensure that they’ll be able to move it if the position was not suitable. “Is this high enough Gin-sempai?” Tsukune asked.

“Higher.” Gin replied, his attention someplace else.

“How about now?” Lou asked again, the two cousins barely able to keep the posters up with their hands alone as they stood upon their toes.

“Higher.” Gin answered, causing the American to get flustered.

“How much fuckin’ higher do you want these?! We can barely-”Lou turned around to see that not only was Gin’s attention else ware, but it involved Moka and Kurumu or to be exact their inability to notice just what Gin was doing.

Sighing due to the fact that he knew exactly what Gin was pulling, Lou stepped down and approached Gin. It was at the moment the American was standing beside Gin did the older student take his eyes off from the perverted task. “Ara, is there something you- Itai!” Gin yelped when Lou flicked his finger against the older boy’s nose.

“Attention up there, not in the gutter, if it’s not too much to ask, hm?” Lou stated rather then asked in a scolding voice.

“Nani?” Gin asked as he held his nose.

“You’re doing that old ‘Mirrored Toe’ trick to peak under skirts.” Lou accused. “And you don’t even have the mirror taped to your shoe so you can toss it away and claim plausible denial.”

Gin chuckled despite the pain he was feeling in his nose. “Nansensu! There’s no way I’m that kind of guy who’d do something so lame!”

“Lou-kun? Gin-sempai?” Tsukune asked, overhearing the little argument.

“Uh, HELLO! You are a guy, a horny guy! Not only that, but a Horny TEENAGER! How could you NOT think like that?” Lou exclaimed, drawing the attention of Moka and Kurumu from their assigned task.

“Nani-ga?” The two monster girls asked.

“Ara, well this guy said that he just got an eyeful of your panties.” Gin replied before Lou could even speak, causing the pink headed vampire and blue headed succubus to gasp in surprise and shock.

“Oh you lyin’ motha fuckin’ sonova bitch!”Lou cursed. Tsukune was just as surprised, he had heard the argument and that was not what was said between the two teens.

“Is that true, Lou?” Moka asked.

“Not intentionally and not alot, that’s for sure.” Lou defended before turning back to Gin. “Now can we get back to the little issue of poster hanging, Horn Dog?”

“‘Horn Doggu’?” Gin wondered as Lou went back up the chair to hang the poster once more.

“So is this the right place, Horn Dog?” Lou asked, but his only reply was silence. “Horn Dog, you even listening? Oy, Horn Dog-” He turned to see the faces of two, rather annoyed and angry monster girls. “Uh oh....”

“BAKA NO HENTAI!!!!” The two of them screamed as they marched out of the room. Lou only sighed from their response.

“Oh lordy, not again....” The American groaned under his breath.

“Lou-kun....” Tsukune could only look upon his cousin with pity, recalling the stories Lou relayed to him on the first day of school.

Gin caught those words from Lou, wondering what he meant before he covered his pondering with a joyful laugh. “You really ARE a Moron! Thanks to you, today’s club activities are over!” He stated and turned to walk away, but he was unable to walk for more than a few paces when he felt a painful sensation in his ear as Lou twisted it. “Itai!”

“Ooohhh no you don’t!” Lou ordered as he pulled Gin towards him. “As punishment for lyin’, we’re gonna do some EXTRA extracurricular activities and do what we were gonna do originally: Hang posters and gather intel on the peeper.”

“D-demo! I’m the Club President!” Gin exclaimed in pain.

“Yeah, well I got yah ear, so there!” Lou stuck out his tongue in a rasph berry before turning to Tsukune. “You helpin’ too!”

“Naze watashi nano?!” Tsukune exclaimed.

“I need another pair of hands for the poster hangin’.” Lou explained. “AND for not defendin’ me earlier. Vámonos!” He ordered as he pushed the two onto the chairs. “And this time, I’M supervisin’!”

After an entire afternoon and a good quarter of the evening spent hanging posters and asking questions on the serial peeper yesterday, the three only males of the Newspaper Club were barely able to do anything else remotely academic before falling asleep upon their beds. Morning soon came and once again the students perform their daily commute to campus grounds.

“And I’ll take it that you didn’t do any research on the possible monster too, right?” Lou asked.

“I could barely do the homework.” Tsukune replied. “Still, it should be enough to get started on our research and planning on catching this guy.”

“Yeah, it’ll feel REAL good to catch this guy!” Lou exclaimed, his eyes held a tint of eagerness one would expect from a good hunt.

“Are you still sore about that?” Tsukune asked his cousin. “Even though it was over a year ago, is it really that alright to focus that frustration on US?”

“Look, girls will always think guys are pervert, despite claims to the contrary and the truth standing in front of them. And considering that we’re not just guys, but teenaged boys, the truth is just that difficult to find that is convincing enough to prove innocence, if not impossible.” Lou stated. “Trust me, I tried and failed. Epically! So can you blame me for having such a bias?”

However, before he could answer, Moka jumped upon Tsukune’s back in greeting. “Ohayo Tsukune!”

The fact that Moka did not greet Lou as well raised an eyebrow upon both Tsukune’s face and Lou’s own. “Granted, I like the change in pace in not falling every morning, but what’s the big deal?”

Moka turned her face away from Lou and stuck up her nose. “I don’t like perverted guys!”

“Nani?” Tsukune stated in confusion.

“Did I NOT tell yah that it was an accident?!” Lou exclaimed.

“It doesn’t matter, I don’t know you anymore!” Moka declared, but added mentally. ‘I’m not serious, demo... I’m not going to talk to Lou for a while as revenge for peeping!’

“Are you seriously- GAH, forget this shit!” Lou cursed as he dashed up the wall and landed atop of the wall with almost athletic grace. “I’ll see you FUCKERS in class!” He yelled before running down the wall, furious.

“Matte! Lou-kun!” Tsukune chased after his cousin, hoping to calm him down. Moka, in the meanwhile, stood there stunned. In all the time that she had known him, Lou had not uttered a curse at her. True, his mouth was just as fowl as any sailor if not more so and had spoken just as many vulgar words, but never cursed her. Did he take her words too seriously, and this was all a misunderstanding? Did she take her joke too far? Did she unintentionally hurt his feelings just as he unintentionally glimpsed at her underwear? It was then she realized that she did not know enough of the American as she had liked, judging from his reaction to her earlier statement and playful accusation. Question flooded her mind as she hung her head in shame.

Moka was not the only one with questions on her mind on this recent affair as Gin turned towards a small group of gossiping girls. “Matsu, ‘scuse me, you girls!” The group of girls turned their attention towards the older student. “Do you have a second?”

The girls were already enamored by this attractive Second Year student before them. “Hai!”

“There’s a little something I’d like you lovely ladies to tell me!”

“Hai! Nani-ga?” The group recited in union.

“That Tsukune dude and his American cousin Louis are always together with Moka-san. Demo, are any one of them dating her?” Gin asked, the girls somewhat disappointed that it was not they he was interested in having such a relationship.

“Sore dewa, I’m not really sure, demo.... They don’t really match do they?” One girl replied, unintentionally starting a debate with her friends.

“Tsukune-kun is just too normal! The same with Lou-kun even with that red hair of his! Moka-chan has the kind of beauty that can charm other women!” Another girl stated just before she remembered that Gin had asked for details. “But listen.. Rumor has it that people have seen Moka-chan kiss Tsukune-kun in the neck!”

“Nani? I heard that it was Lou-kun’s neck Moka-chan was kissing!” A third girl interrupted.

“Nani?” Gin asked with a shock look upon his face. “Their necks?! You say that she kisses them on their necks?!” His mind was already flooded with such fantastic scenarios as to what either one of them, or even both the cousins were doing when Moka was ‘kissing’ them on their necks. “IIE!!! YOU’VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!?! TSUKUNE-KUN! LOU-KUN! YOU’VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!!!” He exclaimed, startling the girls. Internally his mind raced. Despite Moka being so innocent looking and naive acting, was she really two-timing with the cousins? Or worse, is really some kind of player? A pimp? Just what kind of woman was Moka?

Lou walked down the corridors of the hallway and heading towards the Newspaper Club’s classroom, grumbling. He had hoped that this year was going to be a new start, a way to forget what happened in his freshman year and no one from the United States would come to this school and spread such ugly rumors that were ultimately false. He was also overjoyed in the fact that he might catch the serial peeper before fingers pointed to him again, as a way of revenge for what happened to him that year, but the thought was spoiled by Moka’s statement earlier that morning. In short, Lou was not in a happy mood.

“Chotto, Lou-kun!” Gin’s call broke Lou’s train of thought.

“What do you want, Horn Dog?” Lou spat venom, still remembering what the Second Year did to him yesterday.

“Ara, you’re still mad at me?” Gin looked hurt.

“What do you think?” Lou growled.

“Gomen, but just bearing it for just a few months couldn’t be that bad, soo ka ne?”

“No thank you. I’d rather not relive THAT recent and particular part of my life. I’ll pass.”

Gin then pondered upon those words, wondering what the American had referenced. Then he noticed something. “Nani? Where’s your cousin?”

“He forgot to bring something for the case at his dorm so he went back to get em. He’ll be kinda late for the meeting though.” Lou answered.

“Ara, soo ka ne! Today’s club activities will be held outside! Why don’t you come with me?”

“What about the others?”

“Oh they know!” Gin reassured. “I left a note explaining the situation to them!” The two exited the hallway and outside, neither one the wiser when they were secretly observed by two individuals who had just happened upon this encounter.

“What did Lou-kun meant by that?” Kurumu asked Tsukune.

“Well, back during his first year of High School in America, he was the focus of some Peeping Tom rumors simply because he was at the wrong place at the wrong time.” Tsukune answered.

“Were they true?”

“No, but it didn’t matter to the other students and even many of the faculty. Even when the true culprit was identified and arrested, the rumors and jokes persisted.” Tsukune explained. “It’s still a rather sore spot for him, considering how recent it happened.”

“Didn’t he defend himself?”

“He tried, but no one would listen. Accidents have even occurred that seemed to reinforce that belief.” Tsukune then looked in the direction where his cousin had left following Gin. “Eventually he just gave up trying.”

“You call this outside?” Lou exclaimed as Gin lead him towards the destination in between the buildings. “This is just the back of the fuckin’ school!”

“Don’t worry, the rest will be coming soon!” Gin explained. “I got a good tip as to where the serial peeper might be hiding out in between peeps!”

“Wouldn’t it be easier for the guy to just head back to his dorm room?” Lou cocked an eyebrow.

“And risk being caught by witnesses? Use that head of yours!”

“We have been.” Lou explained. “Tsukune thinks that the perp is using his true form to do his peek ventures both to hide his face and to quickly move from place to place without getting caught. However, our collective Monster Encyclopedia is a little rusty and probably out of date. Do you have any idea as to what monster could potentially move that fast?”

“Maa,” Gin began, a look of pride washed over his form. “If it comes to just pure speed, nothing comes close to a werewolf! Their speed is powered by moonlight, so the stronger the moonlight, the faster they go!”

“Oh really? I’ve always been lead to believe that werewolves were just savage, animalistic, brutish, and rely mostly on brawn then on their brains.” Lou noted out loud, causing a few veins upon Gin’s face to pulsate in frustration and anger from the American’s words. “That’s interesting to know once we find the guy. So besides lack of moonlight, what other weaknesses would a werewolf have?”

“We’re here, Lou-kun!” Gin announced as they reached an alleyway in between two buildings.

“...here? This is the hide out?”

“Over there.” Gin pointed at a window high above them. “You could use that drum to look inside.”

“Me?! Why not you?! It’s your lead!” Lou argued.

“Don’t yah want to improve your standing with Moka-san?” Gin countered. “She did get majorly pissed off yesterday, didn’t she?”

“Wouldn’t really know what she thinks right now. I haven’t spoken a word to her since this mornin’.” Lou stated as he finally decided to move the steel drum directly beneath the window. “Besides, I got my own reasons for catching the perp, and it don’t involve Pinkie.”

“Naruhodo...” Gin noted. Lou had begun climbing onto the steel drum to reach the window before Gin spoke once more. “Ara, about Moka-san. She’s even better then I’ve heard. Y’know, I really like her.” He turned to see that Lou was currently occupied visually with climbing onto the steel drum.

“Trust me, Horn Dog, you ain’t the first to feel that about Pinkie.” Lou groaned as he steadied himself atop the steel drum.

“I’m serious! She’s got even ME falling for her at first sight!”

“Again, you ain’t the first.” Lou recalled the reactions of the other male students from the first day of school onwards.

“I’m gonna make sure that Akashiya Moka becomes my woman!” Gin declared. “No matter the cost, whatever it takes!”

“Once more, you AIN’T the first!” Lou reminded Gin once more. “Fuck, to make that kind of declaration while on a fucking stake-out! ‘No matter the cost, whatever it takes’ he says.” He grumbled as the top of his head leveled with the bottom of the window, his fingers grasping onto the window frame for support. “I swear, if he actually devote that much time and energy into perversion, we might actually have caught the Peeping Tom by-” Suddenly, just mere moments when he would be eye level with the window and free to view the interior beyond, a thought just occurred to him.

Growling in frustration, Lou climbed down from the steel drum. “Lou-kun?” Gin stated in surprise as he quickly hid something behind his back.

“Okay, what’s REALLY there?” Lou demanded.

“I-I don’t know what you are talking about.” Gin chuckled in an attempt to hide his guilt.

“Oh don’t you play dumb shit with me!” Lou cursed. “You’re setting me up, pain and simple! So what, you could get Pinkie to even CONSIDER dating you? You don’t have the cojones to ask her yourself, so you resort to shit like this?!”

“Such fantasy!” Gin laughed. “What basis do you have?”

“‘No matter the cost, whatever it takes’. Sound familiar?” Lou stated. “You probably could have gotten away with it, but you just CAN’T shut that pie hole of yours.”

“That’s still not concrete enough evidence to even suggest-” Gin was interrupted when Lou picked up a pebble and tossed it into the open portion of the window. Shrieks and screams of girls were heard.

“I don’t care WHAT monster you are, you are fucking DEAD!” Lou threatened, however he was faced with the view screen of a camera with him climbing to look into the window, though his legs were cropped out of the frame.

“Peeping is a crime, Lou-kun.” Gin smiled sinisterly. “And the photo evidence has been taken. If Moka-san sees this picture, she’s probably going to hate you forever!”

“I’ve been through fucking worse!” Lou growled in anger.

“Even so, if you don’t want this picture getting out, you’ll keep your mouth shut about me, got it?!” Gin threatened.

“What makes you think I’ll let you get away, you shit!” Lou attempted to grab Gin, who jumped away from his reach.

“Chuui shimasu.” Gin warned. “Keep that up and I may have to involve Tsukune-kun as well.”

“You ass!” Lou hissed. “Don’t you fucking DARE do a THING to him!”

“I’ll get at nothing to get a woman in the palm of my hand!” Gin declared. “Ja ne, Lou-kun!” And with that, the older student disappeared as if in thin air.

“What the, where’d he go?” Lou looked around to see exactly where Gin when he was suddenly reminded about his talk with him earlier about werewolves. Could it be that Gin was working in tandem with the serial peeper or worse, IS the peeper? Whatever the truth, Lou knew that he was on his own when it came to the investigation.

Suddenly, Lou heard a shriek from the window behind him. “There he is!!”

“The Peeper! There’s the Peeper!” Another girl exclaimed.

‘Shiiiit, here we go...’ Lou groaned internally as he raised an arm with his index finger extended, never once turning towards the window. “Would the words ‘No’, ‘Unintentional’ and ‘Accidental’ be of any use to me?”

“How DARE you peep at us!?” A girl exclaimed.

“I’ll take that as a ‘no’ then.” Lou exclaimed as he walked away from the scene.

“Don’t you think you’ll get away with this!”

“Why should I be punished for a crime I didn’t commit?” Lou asked over his shoulder as he climbed up towards the roof seemingly without effort. “Nevermind, there’s no use in trying to fuckin’ reason with you bitches. You’re all the same, no matter the country.”

“NANI?!” The girls exclaimed in fury as Lou walked across the roof tops and away, shaking his head as history repeated itself before his eyes.

Though Lou was able to escape the wrath of the girls that would do physical harm, the damage had already been done and rumors claim that it was he who was the serial peeper. History repeats yet again for the American, with the only difference being that he would not respond to these students in defense or otherwise. He knew it to be futile.

“Perfect. Three more fucking years of this shit.” Lou mumbled to himself. “Assumin’ I even LIVE that long...”

Out of the corner of his eye, he spotted the Student Store. Sighing, he entered the store despite the accusing stares of those present to restock on his living supplies. The kinds of looks that he’ll have to just bear with, no matter how painful.

As he walked down the isles with his shopping basket on his arm, out of the corner of his eye Lou saw women’s panties displayed out in the open. He chuckled as he shook his head, the sight of the panties suddenly reminding him of a prank his brothers and sisters attempted with his luggage before he left for Japan and Monster Academy that would have caused his clothes to stink of Doe in Heat Urine if he was not lucky enough to catch the vial before he did anything too stupid. He also spotted a small bouquet of Wolfsbane flowers and was reminded of his talk with Gin about werewolves, causing him to shake his head and wonder what kind of student store would sell womens panties out in the open and Wolfsbane if there were werewolves attending-

Then a shock of brilliance struck Lou like lightning as he looked back to the women’s panties and to the Wolfsbane. He smiled sinisterly as his plan became quite clear as he grabbed a small package of the panties, the Wolfsbane, a box of zip-lock bags large enough to contain a pair of panties without wrinkling them, tweezers, whatever scrap silver he could find, a baseball bat, and a whole assortment of supplies he needed to ensnare the true culprit. He may not be able to clear his name as being a peeper, but with this plan he’ll be able to prove that he wasn’t the serial peeper.

Lou brought his ‘hunting’ supplies to the register, ever thankful that his aunt and uncle, Tsukune’s parents, that they gave him a joint allowance to purchase whatever food and supplies they need during their stay at Monster Academy. The woman working at the register, though heard the rumors about Lou, could not help but wonder what kind of strange and disturbing party this American was planning. As she stuffed the supplies into whatever bags could fit, she then encountered the small packages of panties. Raising an eyebrow, she picked up the panties. “Ara, and what are these for?”

“Bait.” Lou answered as he grabbed the package, shoving them into one of the bags, and paying the total costs of his supplies. The other shoppers and staff could not help but wonder what this American was planning, then felt a chill run up and down their spines as they heard Lou cackle off into the distance.

Late in the evening, beneath a full moon, Lou walked onto the roof tops of one of the class room buildings with his supplies when he spied Moka leaning against the railings deep in thought. It was at that moment when she turned towards Lou’s direction. “Lou?”

“Oh, it’s you.” The American nearly growled, still remembering what had happened this morning.

“Lou,” Moka slowly approached him. “Ano..moshi ....if there’s something you want to talk to me about-”

“Sorry, I got bigger fish to fry.” Lou stated as he began to set up his trap and looking over his supplies for the capture of the serial peeper, if not Gin.

“Gomen nasai! Onegai!” Moka bowed before Lou in apology. “The words I have said this morning, I didn’t mean to-”

“Do you mind?! I’m tryin’ to catch a Peepin’ Tom here!” Lou exclaimed before returning to his work, carefully pulling out a pair of panties with tweezers held in his gloved hands from the zip-lock bag and placing them on the ground.

“Demo, if it’s about those rumors-” Moka began.

“Look! I don’t want to fucking talk about it, alright?!” Lou exclaimed, catching the vampire off guard. “I’ve survived through it before, I’ll do it again. Not like I had much choice in the matter before and now...” Lou mumbled the last portion of his statement, but it did not escape Moka’s ears.

“Lou....?” Moka gasped lightly, wondering if Lou had suffered from such a rumor before.

“Ara! So this is where you’ve been Moka-san!” Gin exclaimed in joy as he entered the roof top. “And you are here as well Lou-kun?”

“Gin....sempai....” Moka stated, unsure of what to make in the situation.

Lou, however, simply showed the man his middle finger. “Yeah, well fuck you too.” He then went back to his trap construction.

Unaffected, Gin approached Moka. “Though I am surprised that you are even standing this close to Lou-kun, Moka-san, considering what they say about him.” Lou replied with two middle fingers before returning to his work. Moka, however, was unsure of what to make of the situation. Gin said that Lou was the serial peeper that they were looking for, yet Lou was busy trying to find the peeper yet had not defended himself. Then there were those words from earlier. Could it be that Lou suffered a similar situation back in America? Was that the reason why he wasn’t defending himself, why her joke that morning caused him to be so wrathful towards her?

Noting this mental confusion, Gin pulled out some photos. “I don’t know who took these, but these pictures have been going around.”

“‘Don’t know who took these’ my ass.” Lou mocked as Moka took the photos and took a look at them. “Likely fuckin’ story.”

“This is...!” Moka gasped from the pictures of Lou climbing towards the window.

“A picture of the peeper!” Gin concluded for Moka. “A picture of Lou-kun might I add? Itamashii.”

“Yay! Let the circus continue...!” Lou exclaimed in a sarcastic tone, rolling his pointed hand in a circular motion in the air.

“Just forget about that gaijin, Moka-san.” Gin advised as he wrapped an arm around Moka’s shoulders, bringing her closer to his own body. “In fact, forget about Tsukune-kun as well. Being related to Lou-kun, he might be the same as well.”

“Hey! You motha fuckin’ sonova bitch!” Lou exclaimed as he quickly rose to his feet. “Say what you want about me, but leave my cousin alone you shit-assed bastard!”

Gin simply waved his hand away before he turned his attention to Moka. “Tonight, I’ll console you!” He declared as he leaned in towards the pink headed vampire for a passionate kiss, only to be pushed away and to the far side of the roof top.

“Iie!” Moka screamed. “What are you doing, sempai?!”

“Pinkie?” She turned towards Lou, feeling happier then she was earlier that he was using his nickname for her. “Next time he does that, could you try a nice quick kick to the nads? It’ll make me feel a whole lot better about my situation.” The request caused her to raise an eyebrow.

“Nani?” Gin picked himself off the rooftop and back upon his feet. “Am I not just holding you tenderly?”

“Iie! You just felt me up!” Moka exclaimed.

“Yeah, wimenz tend to notice that kind of thing.” Lou noted in a rather monotone-like voice.

“Gomen, it’s the full moon!” Gin explained as he approached Moka. “On nights of the full moon, I’m overcome with a feeling of such power and I suddenly loose control! It just that these sudden urges make me go crazy!”

“Lou...” Moka looked at the pictures that were still in her grasp. “He said that it was an accident, that it wasn’t intentional...”

“Now she listens to me, figures...!” Lou raised his hands in the air in frustration.

“Rather then these pictures,” She tossed the photographs away. “I want to believe Lou!”

“Oh, NOW you wanna believe me?!” Lou exclaimed. “Unbelievable!”

“The one we shouldn’t believe is you!” Kurumu yelled out as she and Tsukune appeared on the roof top, wearing what is considered stereotypical detective clothing of both Western Countries and Japan.

“Tsukune! Kurumu-chan!” Moka yelled out.

“What are YOU two doing here?” Gin demanded.

“And what’s with the get up?” Lou asked as he pointed at the two.

“When we heard about Lou, we did an investigation on the matter!” Kurumu explained. “I wouldn’t care less, but Tsukune wanted to help his cousin and I couldn’t say ‘no’ to my Destined One!”

“Yeah....thanks for the vote of confidence there Pamela...” Lou groaned.

“What are you saying? Lou-kun is a lecher who purposefully moved the steel drum in order to peep into the girls changing room.” Gin then pointed at the photos on the ground. “Those pictures are proof!”

“Oh really?” Kurumu picked up a photograph and examined it. “How could you be so sure when only the top half of Lou’s body is taken?”

“So then no one would know what Lou-kun was using as support.” Tsukune reasoned. Moka then looked at the pictures.

“That is true.” Moka stated, which gave Gin a shocked look on his face as he attempted to recover from that revelation.

“T-that’s...” Gin began. “Hai! That’s because I went to the scene after it happened! Even though it was the first time I went there, I knew immediately that he used it for support!” Lou simply rolled his eyes from that excuse as Gin sweated cold bullets nervously.

“And you also knew that Lou moved the drum?” Tsukune crossed his arms across his chest, unconvinced.

“Hai! They were not there originally!” Gin stated.

“Bad move.” Lou chuckled.

“But did you not say that it was the first time that you have been at the scene?” Kurumu smirked. “Why are you so sure that they were there originally?”

“You KNEW about the peeping sight spot from before,” Tsukune accused. “And also knew of the drums being used for support. Soo desu ka?”He then showed Gin the photographs. “Sono ue, you were at the scene when this photo was taken!”

“Ikanimo, I was there before. And I knew that the drums were used as support,” Gin calmly rationalized. “But that doesn’t prove that I was at the crime scene.”

“Sure we can, Ginei-san.” Kurumu replied to Gin’s challenge.

“N-nani?” Gin stated in surprise.

“After the incident, those drums were taken away by the female students who were concerned about of such a thing happening again.” Tsukune explained.

“In other words,” Kurumu began. “The drums were only there from the time the crime occurred until immediately after.”

“For the record.” Lou interrupted. “Technically, I DIDN’T peep. Just too close for anyone’s comfort.”

“Besides the people at the scene, it’s impossible for others to have known.” Kurumu continued. “There is more, Ginei-san. There are a few witnesses who testified that YOU moved the drums before the crime occurred.”

“Not only that,” Tsukune began. “But Kurumu-chan and myself not only saw him call Lou-kun over, but also witnessed him tricking my cousin into the act!”

“Oh, where was THAT when I needed it!?” Lou exclaimed, his swinging arms accidentally hitting Gin in the chest that caused him to stumble backwards violently enough for photos to fall from his coat. Photos of the female students in various stages of undress. “Oh, so YOU’RE the Peeper! I should have fuckin’ known!” Then the American paused as he fully absorbed the words he had spouted. “Come to think of it, WHY am I surprised that Horn Dog was the peeper?”

“Enough of this nonsense!” Gin exclaimed. “Since it has come to this, I’ll use my power make you my woman, Akashiya Moka!” Then he leaped over the group, landing behind them, and transformed into his true form and howled. That of a werewolf.

Lou chuckled. “Don’t think that I didn’t plan for this eventuality, Horn Dog, or should I say Horn Wolf!?”

“Nanda?” Gin demanded. Lou simply dashed back to his supplies and grabbed the small bouquet of Wolfsbane.

“Eat Wolfsbane, biach!”Lou yelled out as he threw the flowers at Gin, which impacted upon the werewolf’s muzzle. “Direct hit!”

Gin simply sneezed as he brushed the Wolfsbane away. He then turned towards Lou. “What was THAT all about?!” The others were wondering as well.

“He’s still moving?” Lou raised an eyebrow in disbelief before finally shrugging in defeat. “I got nothing.”

“That was it?!” Kurumu exclaimed. “That was your plan?!”

“No.” Lou shook his head. “The Wolfsbane was suppose to stun him long enough for me to shoot a silver bullet in his leg and kill his speed advantage.” The American showed the group the revolver he had hidden in one of his pockets, which sent even the werewolf into a panic.

“Where the hell did you find a gun?!” Tsukune exclaimed.

“That’s.....” Lou then stared at the revolver in his hand. “Actually a very good question....”

“I won’t let you pull off a single shot!” Gin exclaimed as he dashed towards Lou, who barely escaped with his life and received only a shredded jacket sleeve.

“HOLY SHIT!!” Lou exclaimed.

“Quick! Shoot him!” Kurumu demanded in panic.

“I can’t at this range, for three reasons! One, he’s movin’ too fast to get a good shot and I only got enough silver to make one bullet! Though for some odd reason I got enough powder for eight rounds.... Anyway two, I ain’t that good of a shot! Three, silver bullets aren’t ballistically sound! Trust me, I looked that shit up!” Lou exclaimed before he was knocked away by a kick from Gin that sent him a good distance away from the group.

“Lou-kun!” Tsukune yelled.

“Shit! We NEED Xena!” Lou shouted back as he headed towards Moka.

“A werewolf and a vampire are both equally strong monsters!” Kurumu warned. “Even if Moka is able to attack him directly, her chances are-” Her warning was interrupted when Lou was tacked to the ground by Gin’s foot.

“Don’t think you have a chance, baka!” Gin taunted as he grabbed Lou by the collar of his shirt and lifted him to his eye level. “I guess you want to die since you can’t keep your hands off of Moka-san, Lou-kun!”

“Wrong, I’m the distraction!” Lou corrected, which gave Gin a surprised face. “Tsukune! Now!” With that cue, Tsukune pulled off Moka’s rosario and breaking the seal that kept the other Moka in check.

“Nani?! Doo shimashita ka?!” Gin exclaimed from this sudden burst of supernatural energy swirling around Moka as she transformed into her other self. “Red eyes....silver hair...? Could it be that she is a....vampire?!”

Gin then chuckled. “Kono... This is Moka-san’s true form! Subarashii! Even after transforming, you are still beautiful, Akashiya Moka! Though it does explain the ‘kissing on the neck’ thing from earlier...”

“Wait, what?!” Lou exclaimed as Gin leaped into the air and towards the other Moka.

“I could care less that you’re a vampire! I will defeat you and make you my woman!” Gin declared in his decent.

“Don’t mess around with me!” The other Moka warned, to only finding herself striking air.

“What are you fighting over there for?” Gin taunted from atop the stairwell.

“He vanished!” Tsukune exclaimed.

“What lighting speed!” Kurumu gasped.

“Shit! We gotta kill that speed advantage stat!” Lou cursed.

“Sono toori! A werewolf’s power is in their speed while a vampire’s power is in physical strength! My speed is increased the stronger the moonlight becomes!” Gin then began to use his speed to dance around the other Moka. “On the night of a full moon, a werewolf is invincible! And tonight, the full moon is shining as bright as ever!”

Moka attempted in futile to keep her eyes upon her speedy opponent. “Koosan shimasu! So long as the full moon is out, it is my victory!”Gin swung a claw at the other Moka, who readily caught the attack with her own hands. “Nani? I stopped?!”

“Clouds.” Lou stated as he pointed at the clouds covering the light of the full moon.

“Yabai! Kumo! Now of all times!” Gin cursed.

“Yeah, you’re pretty much fucked.” Lou chucked at the scene.

“Don’t be too full of yourselves!” Gin exclaimed in a threatening manner. “I can still beat you with or without the moonlight! I’ll show you what the natural energy of a monster is!” He then swung his claw towards the other Moka. “Just be a good girl and become my woman, Moka!”

In response, Moka gave a swift spinning kick to Gin’s head which was followed by another powerful kick to his stomach. Though in pain, Gin was able to recover and land against the railing of roof top. Then the railings crumbled and the werewolf unceremoniously fell to the ground.

Both Tsukune and Lou looked over the edge of where the roof railing used to be to where Gin had landed violently. “That was....rather anti-climatic actually.” Lou stated, to which Tsukune nodded in agreement.

“Untamed dog...You aren’t fit to be my opponent.” Moka spoke in reference to Gin. “You should know your place!” She then turned towards Lou. “As for you, it would be in your best interest in accepting the other Moka’s apology.”

Lou looked around to see if the other Moka was actually talking to him. “Me?”

“Because of what happened this morning, the other me was getting so depressed that it was even affecting me!” Moka then grabbed the rosario from Tsukune’s hand.

“Noted, but first I got some unfinished business to attend to.” Lou stated as he grabbed a baseball bat. “I’ll be RIGHT back.” The American then jumped over the railings and climbed down to where Gin had landed. Curious, the rest followed Lou to the ground who was in the process of judging the werewolf’s head with the end of the baseball bat.

“Wakey, wakey!” Lou commanded in a disturbingly jolly voice as Gin came to.

“W-what do you want?” He groaned in pain.

“Oh, nothing much. Just for you to be conscious when I do this.” Lou raised the bat above his head, ready to smash it down upon Gin’s manhood when the rest of the group arrived.

“Lou-kun, what are you-” Tsukune began.

“IIIIEEEE!!!” Gin screamed in terror as the wooden, impromptu club smashed into an extremely sensitive pair of organs in between his legs with a sickening crunch and pop that even caused the other Moka to cringe. However, the torment did not end as Lou continued to smash the bat into what was formerly the werewolf’s family jewels repeatedly and violently with such voracity. None who have witnessed this could not help but flinch with each impact.

After what seemed like the few hundred times, Lou walked away from the horrible slaughter with a rather refreshed smile upon his face. “Yeah, THAT felt good!” He stated as he leaned against a nearby wall.

“Sh-shouldn’t you take him to the infirmary?” Tsukune asked, thinking as like the rest of the group that the certain area of Gin’s body currently had the consistency of peanut butter.

“In time.” Lou answered. “Right now, I wanna bask in his agony.” Gin then just made a rather high pitched moan of pain. “Music to my ears right about now.”

The next day, the Newspaper Club sans a certain club president, were distributing their first ever news edition that featured the identity of the serial peeper and exonerated Lou’s name. Many of the female readers did not react well to the fact that the true peeper was Gin, who was currently running away from his sudden ‘admirers’ in fright and self preservation.

“Though I never expected that this would be our Newspaper Club’s first job!” Tsukune noted as he hung the other copies of the newspaper upon a bulletin board along with his cousin. The other girls of the club, meanwhile, were distributing the copies to the other students who mostly were there to get close to them as possible. “I mean really, right? Moka-san?”

Moka nodded, before setting her eyes upon Lou who was currently attaching the newspaper copies onto the bulletin board and her face went sullen. Even though the American had accepted her apology, he still bore a grudge for what happened in the previous days.

Tsukune caught the look the vampire gave and elbowed his cousin in the ribs, who nearly tripped over if not for hanging onto the bulletin board. “You mind?!” Lou exclaimed and his cousin gestured towards Moka who was looking down in distraught. Sighing, he climbed down and approached the vampire. “What’s wrong?”

Moka shook her head. “Nanimo nai.”

“Please, you’re NOT that good of a liar.” Lou crossed his arms as he awaited a response from Moka, who was currently pressing the tips of her index fingers together. A few moments passed and he sighed before pulling back his collar to reveal his neck. “Look, if it makes you feel any better, you can have a bite on me.”

“Hontouni?” Moka asked.

“Yeah, but you better decide before I change my- ACK!!” Lou soon found himself in a sudden hug by the pink haired vampire.

“Yatta!” Moka exclaimed, however the force of the sudden charge caused them to nearly knock the table that was supporting Tsukune over and forcing the teenager to grasp onto the bulletin board to prevent him from falling. “Kappu-chu!”

“SWEET MONKEY JESUS!!!!” Lou exclaimed in pain as Moka took her fill of his blood. Kurumu was too occupied in her attempted actions at keeping Tsukune from falling from the bulletin board while the other students watched.

It was but another day at Monster Academy for the two cousins and two monster girls.

Aaaand that would be Chapter Four ladies and gentlemen!

Originally, I didn't plan on releasing this chapter until I finished Chapter Seven: Deadlines and Blackmail, but then I reasoned that since I had up to six chapters completed as of this posting, I figured that I should post at least one chapter ahead of schedule. As for the rest, well that would pretty much depend upon demand. Do my fellow readers wish to read these chapters ahead of shedule or simply wait like normally? How do you want to be heard?

By reviews and PMs of course! And as always, flames are NOT tolerated. Extending it to "Brutally Honest" reviews as well. Just plain honest would suffice.
