Summer Loving 5

There was still a scowl on your face when you entered the outer waiting room connected to the headmaster's office. A wide circular room decorated with two couches, a pair of sitting chairs, and various book shelves.

'Who does that little punk think he is?' you spat mentally. He better be grateful to his friends, if they didn't jump in ol' Tom wouldn't gotten out of that without a few broken bones.

The desk that the secretary usually sat behind, was empty. And all around the room, spread out in a circular fashion were dozens of men in black suits, dark sunglasses covering their eyes.

The Oni Brigade. They were the main helpers and enforcers employed by Mikogami Tensei. A fighting force made up of all Oni, powerful top of the line A-rank monsters, and each member having been trained in all manners of combat, to the point where even the average member of the Oni Brigade was a match for the average S-rank monster.

The reason they followed your teacher and saviour was one simple reason. He was the leader and head of the Oni Race. You'd never seen his true form, but he had told you, that it was that of a Kishin. A monster known as the Demon God, and a legend only born in the Oni Race once every thousand years or something like that.

Your eyes met the sunglasses clad ones of the leader of the group, Tenrei whom was standing in front of the door leading to Mikogami's. A prior sparring partner of yours that you had tested your strength against whenever Mikogami came to visit. It had never been fights where you went all out, but even still, you hadn't defeated him.

You wouldn't mind having another go with him now and going full out. But, you weren't here for that. You gave him a nod, and Tenrei nodded back, before turning and knocking on the door to Mikogami's office with his knuckles.

"Send him in." you heard the voice of your teacher echo.

"He'll see you now, Kai." Tenrei nodded at you, before opening the door and gesturing for you to enter.

You nodded back, and headed inside, the door being pulled shut behind you as soon as you entered.

You found your sensei standing behind a massive mahogany desk, arms clasped behind his back as he stared out of the window, down at the path leading towards the academy from the dorms.

"Yo, sensei." you casually greeted.

"Kai, it's good to see you once more," Mikogami turned his head ever so slightly and peered at you with one glowing eye under his cowl, "You've done quite a bit of growing in these past two months, you've grown remarkably stronger."

"A good training partner and incentive works wonders." you smirked.

"Ah yes, Akashiya Moka," he hummed, before snorting, "You've really made a mess of some of my plans you know?"

"..What?" you blinked.

"You were supposed to be teleported here to the academy, why then did you decide to take the bus instead?" he asked, turning his eye away from you to once again look out the window.

"Pettiness," you shook off your confusion and smirked at him, "You kept not getting back to me when I called you, so I decided to just grab the bus here."

Mikogami sighed, "..My own fault then?" he mused, shaking his head.

"What's the big deal anyway?" you asked, raising an eyebrow at him, "What does it matter how I got here?"

"It doesn't, not truly," he hummed, "What the problem stems from, is that you blocked the fated meeting."

Fated meeting? The hell?

"You were not supposed to be the one to meet Akashiya Moka on that day."

You froze, "Excuse me?"

"You heard correctly," Mikogami spoke evenly, "Akashiya Moka was supposed to meet Aono Tsukune that day, and become fast friends with him, eventually even falling in love."

Your youki exploded out of you without warning, uncontrollably, and you felt your teeth sharpen to fangs, "Sensei, I owe you a lot, and I'll always be grateful to you," you growled out, "But watch what you say. If that is a joke, I don't find it fucking funny!"

Your lover, your girlfriend, the person(s) you were closest to since you had lost your parents. Destined to fall in love with that piece of trash!?

"It's no joke," Mikogami didn't flinch at all under your building rage, "Why do you think someone like Aono Tsukune was even invited to this school? He's not like you, he's not a once in a generation talent, he's not rich, he's nowhere as diligent and courageous as you. Why, when my end goal is to promote the peace between humans and monster, would I invite someone like him, here?"

You on the other hand did flinch back, "..What the hell are you talking about!" you spat, "What do you mean invite him! He's a weakling but he's still a monster and last time I checked this is the monster high school."

"Aono Tsukune is no born monster," your sensei refuted, "He is actually like you. He entered this school as a pure human, and in the first few days, stepped between an altercation that would see those lizardmen friends of his killed, got injured gravely in the process and was given blood from the lizardmen to help save him. Luckily, I had been keeping an eye on him, so it easy to one of my Holy Lock's on him and allow him to safely weather to lizardman blood and become a hybrid like you."

Your mind raced. So that was why in the first few days, you barely felt any youki at all from him!

And you were not a genius for nothing, "..You wanted him to get Moka's blood." you realised. He wanted to make that trash into a hybrid using the pinnacle of monster blood.

"Not want, need," Mikogami shook his head, correcting you, "Akashiya Moka is no simple vampire. She's very, very special. The biggest piece on the board, though she doesn't know that. I met and divined the future with powerful monsters, and Aono Tsukune was always present, as the destined one of Akashiya Moka, the one who could release her seal from the beginning, and eventually become a vampire himself and be the lynchpin for defeating the great enemy that stands between peace."

He looked back at you over his shoulder again, glowing eye examining you, "Yet, somehow, without even knowing anything of the future, you managed to meddle in destiny, and unwittingly steal Akashiya Moka from her destined partner."
