Clash of Realms
CHP26: A Night to Celebrate

The group was enjoying the festival parade and sitting in the press box of the emperor made it all the more worth it. Apollo was within his throne chair and sitting to his left was Akasha and to his right was Eris. Others of his human world guests were seated all over but nearby. The costumes and uniforms of those in the parade varied and were colorful. The music was even better and each dissimilar yokai monster had their own set of unique performances. It was quite the treat for those who had never inspected a yokai parade before. It had been just over an hour since the conclusion of the test and while everyone was fixated on the event that couldn't be said for Apollo.
As he sat there watching the performances, he replayed every single detail in his head. But there was just one thing he couldn't wrap his mind around or fathom. What happened inside the void of pain? How had he accomplished what he did? Even those with little to no sufferings in their lives when faced with the void crumbled under the pressure of their own fears and failures. Even with all the enquiries he had, he doubted he'd get much out of Wayne directly.
"It's unfortunate Fafnir couldn't make it," Akasha broke him out of his thoughts. "I can't remember the last time the parade was this creative and enjoyable, they're really putting on a show out there."
"It really is quite marvelous," Zatanna agreed.
Sasha waved her hands around and humming to the music as she was tempted to jump out of her seat and dance. Moka watched her from two seats down and giggled. She was so unlike her or any of Moka's Shuzen sisters at that age. She was so loose, carefree and without a worry. If it weren't for her constant taste for battle, one might even believe she was a human child. She was a joy regardless and brightened the mood of any room she stepped into.
"That performance of yours earlier was spectacular, it's always great to see such a good battle. And it's even more impressive considering who you did it against," Starfire smiled up at the yokai emperor.
"Yeah well, I don't think the boss was feeling himself." Dick quickly added.
He truly believed this. At one point in his life he fought at his side, night in and out as Batman and Robin. And he could never forget the countless hours put in of training inside the cave. A chat was sure to happen between them that much he knew. What he saw from the boss wasn't near what he projected. Tim was another that deduced this, no longer than after observing Bruce's choices in approach and the vulnerable positions he left himself in. And even on his bad days he was never that careless or sloppy.
"Wayne did well for what it's worth and shouldn't hang his head," Eris looked down over everyone in the general area. "He has much potential and today should come as no surprise, particularly the final test. He's come far in his short life, but it'll take him decades to reach the same level in combat to princess Akasha or my master. And that's only assuming he stays on top of his conditioning and training. If he so chooses, he could seek out either. Both would happily guide him in polishing his skills."
Right then Grayson almost halfway jumped out of his seat and wanted to say something he would likely later regret, biting over his tongue as he remained seated. If only they knew the truth! The Dark Lord fell in a friendly bout against him, and perhaps that played a part in his uninspiring performance in the finale of tests. But with a deep sigh he thought about it and realizing it wasn't of great significance and all that really mattered was that Bruce had passed the test.
"What is your training routine, if you don't mind me asking?" Diana looked back at Apollo. "I've seen and fought countless of great warriors and you fit in place with those atop the list."
"Yes, please do tell," Starfire chimed in. "I'd also like to know."
Apollo was with a chortle as he leaned forward.
"You'd have a hard time believing, even if I told you."
"Try me," Diana responded with a grin.
Apollo only barely started to respond, but hindered by a loud bang within the parade as the dragons exploded onto the scene with their own little performance. There had to be at least twenty of them flying around and breathing fire. The flames created different shapes and letters, getting a loud applaud from the spectating crowds.
"Speaking of Bruce… where is he?" Zatanna looked around.
"Not just he, but Kal and Victor have also not returned. Vic at least expressed some interest in seeing the show," Wonder Girl said.
"They have their reasons, I'm sure. We need not concern ourselves with them," Diana leaned forward. "Let us enjoy the presentation."

It was away from everyone that Akasha followed her father, after the parade. He informed her there was someone he wanted her to see, someone that had been longing to meet with her for very long. The entire time she walked behind him, the vampire considered who exactly this person might be. Everyone had since returned to his estate following the parade and enjoying themselves as they toured around. It was a few floors down from the top level where the Dark Lord shadowed her father and into a room where the certain guest awaited them. She was in casual wear and bouncing back and forth in a rocking chair with a novel in hand, but stood as her eyes settled in over the vampire. She lowered the book just before stepping forward.
"I've seen pictures, but I've waited for the day I might see you face to face, but then I was told you'd been killed. But here you are, back and seemingly risen from the dead. Funny, before this life forced on me I knew nothing about this world and the endless possibilities."
Perplexed was the perfect way to put it, the Dark Lord hadn't any clue who this woman was or her purpose. Akasha pivoted and looked to Apollo.
"Father, who is this woman?"
"So you don't remember me, but I guess that's expected. It was a quick exchange, perhaps you didn't really even get a good look at my face. Your acts that night were with good intentions as I've heard. Yet those same choices have taken away the life I once knew, forever."
The assertion hit a nerve yet she still wasn't any closer to figuring who this woman was and why she outwardly had so much hatred towards her. It wasn't in her speech or tone, but rather the look in her eyes. Those orbs were filled with nothing but wrath and resentment.
"Her name is Hannah Grace Brooklyn, a human woman who you infused your blood with. The idea you had was that the healing capabilities of your blood would save her life and instead you worsened the situation. She instead converted into a ghoul, my child."
Feeling disheartened Akasha stepped back and shook her head.
"No… no, that can't be. If that's true, than how does she appear as such?"
Apollo took a deep breath and knew this revelation would lead to very many questions. As quickly as he could the harbinger refreshed Akasha's mind on the incident which led to her meeting with the woman. And while at first she didn't recall that night it all slowly came back to her and felt not only saddened but remorseful. These feelings weren't just directed at Hannah, but also at the family and life she would never have again.
"I created an antidote to hold back the effects which threaten to morph her into a ghoul once more. For now that is all I have… there is no permanent cure," Apollo said.
While he spoke, Hannah moved forward and with her left arm held in front of her. Akasha eyed the wristband and knew it was the yokai compression type by its design.
"Long as she wears that compressor, the shinso blood within her body is frozen and keeping her from reverting back to a ghoul. The constraint itself must constantly be refurbished every seventy two hours or she's at risk for mutating into a mindless beast."
The Dark Lord was with a hand over her mouth and her eyes wide. From there she took two steps forward and with her arms expanded outward. She wanted to embrace the woman and truly show her how sorry she was. That however didn't happen and she was instead met with a slap to the face, Akasha seeing it coming the entire way and very effortlessly could have dodged, but she chose not to.
"Don't! It is because of you that I will no longer see my family again! It is because of you that I must live this way like some lab rat! I don't care what you intended, you never should have done this to me!"
The entrance door behind them swung open as most the visiting guests entered. Among them were Diana, Grayson, Tim, Cassandra and Starfire. With them were four security guards. The amazon princess could specifically sense that something was off and just not right, even without those opposite of them speaking.
"I'm pleased you all found yourselves down this way," the emperor gestured for them to come closer. "This woman here is Hannah and once upon a time she was human. Certain events occurred which resulted in that being stolen from her."
Akasha's head lowered and her gaze over the ground. What Hannah didn't realize and likely her father was that if she hadn't done what she did the woman would have died right there in that street with her child at her side. If anything she bought Hannah weeks of extra time to spend with her family and Akasha viewed that as a win. But Apollo's perspective was different on the matter and would have deemed her death in that moment a better alternative. She knew full and well that what she'd done was against yokai law, and so she didn't even consider starting a debate.
"Stolen from her?" Wonder Girl asked with confusion. "She looks fine from where I'm standing."
"On the outside, yes. But that's only due to that," Eris pointed out the wristband. "It's the only thing that's keeping her normal or she'd otherwise be a mindless ghoul."
"And it is all because of her, she's the reason my life is so miserable. She tainted me with that demented blood of hers! She wanted to save me, but instead I became a monster."
"Hannah is living proof and serves as an example of why man must never be profaned. It is unnatural and in most cases him or her losses themselves. That isn't living at all, not really. I do not wish to upset anyone with my words, but it is because of what I know and experiences that I see things the way that I do. Try not to take offence. But how about we put this to rest and take the grand tour of the estate?"
"I've been waiting for this, the moment I set eyes on the place. Let's do it."
Wonder Girl was the first out of the room and everyone else followed. There was however one that stayed back and that being the Dark Lord herself, standing opposite of Hannah.
"I really am sorry and if you hate me, I understand. I'm not asking for your forgiveness, I just want you to know this wasn't what I intended."
She stood there for some seconds, but not a word out of Hannah and so Akasha took off.

Tsukune knew in advance about Moka's planned night out with her mother and others of her friends and so with that he stopped by the Bloodriver castle. The vampire however wasn't alone as Gin was also with him and both men dressed casually in human attire and finding the Dark Lord's guest in one of the libraries in the south wing of the castle where he did research. But there was another with him and her chin rested over his left shoulder and her arms wrapped around him. She was in the chair behind him and her knees pressed firmly below his waist.
"Bruce, Sasha-chan," Tsukune waved as both he and the werewolf stepped through. "Whatchu up to?"
"Hiya Tsukune-nii," the child vampire waved at him. "Daddy's reading about the early establishment of Yundervelt. Some stuff even me learn for the first time and I know lots."
Sasha hopped out of the chair and meeting both Gin and Tsukune halfway across the room where she hugged her brother in law who patted her over the head. And not even a moment later two vampire maidens appeared through the doorway.
"It's just after nine o'clock lady Sasha," one out of the two carried a towel. "Queen Akasha said no later than this time the young one must bathe, have supper and then off to bed."
Sasha immediately groaned with her lower lip extended outward and pouting.
"Oh don't give me that young lady, those are my master's orders and mother always knows best, right?" the maiden smiled down over Sasha.
"Right," Sasha responded with a hint of irritation in her tone.
This instigated not only Gin and Tsukune to laugh but a chuckle from Bruce as well who looked up from the stacks of reading material. Sasha took off and gave her father a kiss on the cheek before taking off and following the two maidens out of the room where they continued down the hall. Bruce used a bookmark to save his place as he took a stand and facing them.
"What brings the two..."
A gust of circulating air stopped him in his tracks from speaking and then came a blinding light which died down just as quick and standing before them was an individual in a gray suit and tie, white under shirt and hat that matched his suit.
"Clark..."
"Have you started packing for the trip back?" he took one step toward Bruce and pushing up the glasses over his nose. "I guess it isn't such a bad idea to spend one more night, if nothing more than for Sasha's sake."
"Yes, first thing in the morning. Is something wrong?"
Both Gin and Tsukune both recalled seeing this individual the night Bruce was brought to Akasha's castle and Tsukune again during the test but neither had figured which member.
"Excuse me," Gin coughed clearing his throat as he moved forward with his hands in his pockets. "Akasha and the gals will be out for another couple hours, so what do you say we do something with your last night here? There's a club down town, a vampire club but Tsukune can get us in no problem, especially with his connections. You deserve it, especially if all that I've been told actually happened."
"Wait, club?" Tsukune raised an eyebrow as this was his first hearing of this.
"You'll find out when we get there. This was the reason I suggested we come here so we could get Wayne out of the palace and have some fun, or have you forgotten?" Gin eyed Tsukune only for a moment before redirecting his attention to Clark. "Feel free to tag along, the more the merrier. Don't worry about getting all dressed up, you're both fine as is. We can't let the girls have all the fun."
Bruce and Clark glimpsed at one another and then to the two standing across from them.

It was the planned girls' night out and Yukari was the last to show, and slid into a chair, shrugging off the dark green sweater which hung over her chair. A waiter came by quickly to get her order as everyone else had already done so. It had been hours since the conclusion of Bruce's test and everyone just wanted to get out and relax. The gathering took place in the kingdom of Hiklorhan.
"I'll just have a cosmopolitan. Thanks," glancing around the table she threw them all a sheepish grin. "Got caught up in some things or else I would have been here sooner."
Her face was flushed with heat as she thought about what she'd been up to in the last hour. Others at the table noticed her beam and Ruby assumed it was embarrassment from being nearly twenty minutes late again because she got caught up in her work.
"How goes the new job," Moka questioned. "Hopefully they aren't overworking you. It's good you were at least able to get some time off earlier today to be there for the test. At some point or another we've all over done it. That's why I'm so glad we agreed to that and meeting here, and we should certainly to do more of this in the future. Give ourselves time to relax and unwind away from all our troubles," she grinned and raised her glass.
"Here's to girl's night," Ruby raised her glass.
Laughing as they followed her lead tapping them together in agreement with Ruby's toast. While everyone thought one thing the Dark Lord saw another, she knew the expression all too well over the facade of Yukari as she herself was with it more times than she could count. But Akasha kept quiet and still with her mind over the human woman, Hannah which she caused so much grief. But from there the group quickly fell into small talk with Mizore taking the lead, discussing her day and other things that had happened, which sounded like a stressful one. They were only a minute or two into the discussion before a massive crowd of female vampires crowded the table.
"Akasha-sama!"
"My queen!"
"Princess!
"Queen Akasha-sama!"
They were screaming and shouting over one another and Moka counted up to at least thirty of them, and she nor anyone else could hear anything they said as they all to shouted and yelled. Three of them were with their arms wrapped around Akasha and hugging the Dark Lord tightly. Akasha's security was on standby with more than twenty of them inside the building, five of which approaching from different corners of the room but the vampire waving them off. She could have ordered her guards to where no one could step within even five feet of her, but the Dark Lord had much lenience on the matter. Any other ruler of the primary global powers and it would have been an entirely different story.
Akasha was up and out of her chair and signing a few autographs over merchandise and other items that they carried and more than half of them taking a selfie with her, some serious and others where they made goofy faces and the Dark Lord sticking out her tongue, for some and puckering her lips in others. She had a great time with her faithful citizens, while Moka, Mizore and the others just watched silently as they remained seated. After a handful of minutes more of this she reseated with the group.
"No matter where I go, all of that follows. Sorry," she smiled.
"You don't have to do that, we understand," Mizore was with a grin of her own.
Their conversations continued from there and for most the time Akasha was with her eyes over Yukari. Moka noticed this but kept quiet and said nothing and the Dark Lord sipped her drink before shushing everyone.
"Okay Yukari-chan," Akasha locked in on the witch and everyone without a clue as to what this might be about. "I know you have something to tell us. I know the look when I see it, you don't really want to keep it to yourself but you aren't sure how to say it."
Morrigan looked over at Yukari with her chin in the palms of her hands and elbows over the table. Her eyes too were over the witch.
"I agree. You look entirely too pleased with yourself. I know love when I see it, is it a boy?" the succubus waggled her eyebrows lecherously as she studied Yukari's face.
It was then Mizore that noticed the glow stemming from Yukari's face, and gasped.
"Look at how she's turning red. You went all the way, didn't you! Don't tell me... was it with him?"
Moka and Ruby leaned in excitedly.
"When you say him, do you mean Fang Fang?" Moka looked to the ice woman for only one moment before her eyes fell back over Yukari. "Tell us, please! Give every juicy detail there is to know."
Yukari's face turned bright red and she took a big gulp of her drink. Everyone's eyes remained over her as Kurumu leaned forward and with her eyelashes flashing.
"Tell us, or I might have to charm it out of you. Not as effective on women but it's still very doable. You don't want to try me," the succubus threatened.
By then Yukari felt backed up and in a corner.
"I know technically tonight was supposed to be ours, but... but he'll be here any time. I invited him, actually."
"It is Fang Fang, right?" Kurumu asked again.
Nodding Yukari took another sip of her drink.
"Guess there's no point in hiding it now."
The entire table immediately exploded as Yukari lowered her head over the surface in embarrassment.
"To be honest, I've known for a while," Ruby spoke up as the table quieted.
Yukari immediately looked up to her fellow witch and part of her wasn't surprised to hear this as there was no other among her friends that had been so active in her life other than Ruby.
"And you kept it to yourself without telling any of us?!" Mizore shot.
"It wasn't really my place and besides, it was Yukari's business."
There were no arguments against this, but it was also then that all eyes returned to Yukari.
"Okay then," Moka was with a grin. "How many times have you two, you know? When did it start?"
Yukari blushed as she looked away from the silver haired vampire.
"You don't really expect me to answer that. It just kinda happened. We got to conversing one day after one of his father's meetings… We were in the next room talking and one thing led to another and we kissed," she smiled bashfully. "He sure can kiss. I swear my knees collapsed and disappeared under me. It was unlike anything I've ever felt. Then it just kinda progressed from there, I'm a bit ashamed."
"While his father was in the next room, oohh you dirty little witch?!" Morrigan chortled. "I like it."
Kurumu was also with a laugh and happy for her close friend.
"How did you keep from letting your moans get out, if it was your first time I imagine there must have been some discomfort," Morrigan twirled a strand of hair over the left side of her face. "You lock lips, or maybe bite down over his shirt?"
Yukari's expression brightened more as everyone around the table laughed.
"Don't feel so bad Yukari," Moka was with a smirk. "Tsukune and I have done it in some exotic places, one being the supply closet to my father's work building. Well at least where he used to operate before mother's return, and please don't kill me over this one."
With a hint of dread and panic the vampire looked to her mother.
"We made love in the office of... grandfather, starting in the chair and somewhere along the way I ended up over the desk and Tsukune on top. This was long before we even got engaged."
Akasha was with her mouth open and a hand over her heart.
"You won't say anything, please," Moka begged.
The Dark Lord snickered as she ran a hand up and down Moka's arm.
"Your secret is safe with me," she smiled.
"Screwing in the office of our emperor, now that's daring and hot. You and your hubby Tsukune have earned extra points with that," Morrigan laughed.
The attention again then shifted back over Yukari.
"You never gave us the how long?" Mizore questioned.
"About half a year, I think," the witch shrugged.
"That long and you haven't said a thing to any of us! Did you ever intend on telling?" Kurumu inquired.
Yukari somewhat shook her head.
"We agreed to keep it to ourselves for a while. Till we figured it was more than just physical pleasure. And it definitely is. But I won't lie, that part of it is amazing," the witch giggled.
"It's about freaking time, Yukari. Fang Fang is great and I'm thrilled for you both. Though I still want to hear more stories of what you two have been up to," Kurumu sniggered.
"Backtracking and switching the subject somewhat, it's pretty funny, but I remember being confronted by Eris hours later after that morning in grandfather's office. We knocked a bunch of stuff off the shelves and needless to say we put it back all messed up. She knew that something happened but I told her I didn't know when she asked... and I couldn't look her straight in the face for the entire week it seemed. I purposely avoided her and thankfully for our sake she never said a word to grandfather. Lucky she was the first to pass through his office after our little session and sorted things out perfectly like they were supposed to," Moka held a hard blush at just thinking about it.
Laughing they all clinked their glasses in one more toast before each downed the rest of their drinks and ordered another round in addition to horderves. Mizore ordered a round of tequila shots and limes atop everything else.
They downed the shots, chasing the tequila with the limes. The tequila burned all the way down, wheezes sounding around the table, tears welling up in their eyes. Looking around the table, they all met each other's gazes and cracked up at the looks on each other's faces. Laughter rang out around the table as conversation resumed, and more drinks were brought, tension and stress draining away. That is what girl's night was all about.
"Speaking of which," Ruby eyed Kurumu. "I don't think I was told. Why didn't you make the trip to Apollo's estate?"
"Busy, I barely even made it here. I'm returning to the human world first thing in the morning and I'll be there for the next several weeks. Career stuff," the succubi smiled.

The four were helped into the carriage and from then they took off and away from the castle. As the driver went along the lane along the twists and turns of the dirt road Clark looked outward over the surrounding and the kingdom Hiklorhan was built much like London in the 17th through 18th century, but some of the buildings much larger. There were no pollutants in the air, the sky was clear and the stars shining bright and the moon equally as visible. The carriage came to a halt just after another two miles in front of the club and Bruce noticed there was a wide oaken door with wrought iron hinges and pull. There is a door knocker in the shape of vampire's fangs.
Before they even began descending from the carriage the door was thrown open and club security appeared as the four of them hopped out, and Tsukune had a word with the driver just before he took off. Bruce quietly wondered what sort of club this was, and seeing as the test was tomorrow and he could finally return home as he was more than certain he wouldn't fail. And that really was the only reason he agreed on the night out, as he hadn't any real clue when he might be back.
Gin conversed with the guards and it was clear he'd seen them before by the way they talked. The werewolf then turned and looked to Tsukune and gestured for him to come forward with the snap of a finger, which he did. He had a word with the two guards and another was called up and right away he recognized the vampire as an acquaintance of the emperor. A couple words were exchanged and Tsukune shaking hands with each and then they were granted entry up the purple carpet with tickets.
"You see, pays off to have someone like you around," Gin slapped him over the shoulder.
"I've never heard of or been in this place, is it really all its cranked up to be?" Tsukune looked to him from the corner of his eye.
"I'll let you determine that for yourself."
Bruce and Clark were just behind them but kept to themselves while they made their way up the steps. And once through the doors Tsukune quickly fathomed just what sort of club they had just gotten themselves into. The bar was full tonight. Clark's eyes narrowed as Tsukune's mouth halfway dropped open as they watched girls work the stage and were halfway naked, and some of the crowds throwing up money onto the stage.
The music pumped loudly from the speakers around the room, fueling the dancers over the stage who whipped their backsides up and down from side to side. Tsukune couldn't believe the way all of them jiggled so gracefully, and Clark adjusting his glasses and clearing his throat.
"A gentlemen's club, I was expecting you know... something a little bit more casual."
"I don't know about this," Tsukune spoke in a whisper. "I can't afford to be seen at a place like this... especially with my position at the academy."
Gin chuckled as he keyed in on Tsukune's face.
"Don't worry bud, no one will know."
Gin only chuckled as he eyed a lean brunette sliding down a pole, back braced against it and hands above her head to keep balance as she rolled her hips in fluid motions, moving to straighten back out only a moment after she was down. Much as werewolves weren't fond of vampires, even Gin could admit lady bloodsuckers really knew how to shake it and were top of the line in beauty allure. Keeping a hand on the cool metal she circled it, wrapping a leg and sliding down to rut against the pole before licking her lips with a quick swipe of the tongue, sending a nearby customer a lustful grin, earning extra singles sent her way.
Clark's eyes specifically looked in different sections of the club and off stage where he spotted similar activity to what was onstage. He skimmed over one of the dancers, a redhead vampire dancer and practically sitting in the lap of one of the spectators giving him a lap dance. Not far from there and to the left was another set of persons. It was a lone male vampire who was surrounded by three women, one biting into and drinking his blood from the left side of his neck, another biting into his exposed stomach. The two vampires drank his blood while he tongue kissed with a third and Clark swallowing back as his glare fell over Gin.
"Is this your idea of entertainment?"
The werewolf chuckled somewhat nervously as by just Clark's tone he wasn't pleased.
"Chill, relax dude," Gin caressed him over the shoulder. "This is one of the best clubs in Hiklorhan, and I only stumbled upon it by accident three years back. Believe me, someone like I doesn't purposely choose to hang out in the kingdom of vampires."
Tsukune had unintentionally bit over his tongue realizing if Moka discovered he'd been inside a place like this she would rip him a new one and aside from that he found himself out of his comfort zone. For Bruce and Gin however it was just another night out, both accustomed to the party life and Bruce having gotten around and been around plenty of places like this. Clark stepped away from the group for a quick moment and headed for the nearest restroom but only got far as placing his hand over the doorknob. Even through the music and roaring atmosphere his super hearing picked up over unusual sounds over the other side of the door and so he used his X-ray vision to peak through. Right away he almost wish he hadn't, inspecting what looked to be an ongoing sexual blood drinking orgy on the other side and so he backed away running a hand over his face.
He had just come to have a quick chat with Bruce and then be on his way, not all of this. With a deep sigh he returned to the group and on his way witnessed a handful of vampires sitting around the bar area and drinking blood from cups and glasses as if it were a usual beverage. Everything around was so unusual, but none of it a surprise. It was an entirely different world and species, and so he was with an open mind.
"Aono!" a blonde called out to Tsukune as she jumped off the stage, waving a hand energetically over her head "What's a hot shot like you doing at a place like this? Quite the satisfying surprise, you alone or come with friends?"
Tsukune had never seen this woman in his life, but with his position as chairmen of the largest academy in the entire realm it came as no surprise. She and Tsukune talked for a little and Bruce found a nearby table to sit and just looking around while taking in the whole setting. Clark remained standing but with his hands in his pockets as he moved around. Gin sort of got lost in the crowds and away from the others, finding himself surrounded by beautiful vampire damsels. He flirted with the group of ladies and one of them was consider by most an unmatched flirt when intoxicated. She seized his collar and dragged him forward, pressing her lips firmly against his with a kiss. The werewolf instantly pushed away from her.
"You're beautiful, but I... I'm sort of taken."
"Hodie! How much we gotta pay for those?" someone else yelled out.
Their attention was drawn to a vampire around at the far end of the bar, obviously referring to their kiss.
"Sorry, aint for sale honey" she purred just before looking back to Gin. "You think I'm stupid?"
"Stupid, what?"
"Wooof, wooof... who's the good dog?" she reached down firmly grasping his crotch. "What's the little doggie doing in Hiklorhan? I can smell it all over you and tasted in that kiss."
Gin chuckled a bit.
"Taste, didn't know you were intimate with one of my kind."
The vampire wasn't without a giggle of her own.
"Not intimacy, I drank his blood after a fresh kill. For what it's worth he was an fugitive, a nuisance to both our societies. I'm no prejudice so you needn't worry about me ousting there's a werewolf among us, lucky for you we just don't have that same keen sense of smell like your kind. Play by the rules and be a model citizen and I won't have to rip your balls off."
The vampire removed her hand from him and Gin breathed a sigh of relief. Clark really hadn't settled in but his ears picking up on a young woman with a southern accent, loud and joyous as she provided services to a group sitting in the booth and even over the loud music he could hear every conversation in the club if he so chose. Tsukune had found himself onstage with the main dancers and moving to the pace of the music but he didn't have quite the moves all of them had.
"You look good up there," Bruce commented, sitting at the table with one leg atop the other.
"Yeah and so would you."
Bruce grinned but remained seated with no intent to rise. From the left side of the club Gin appeared and laughing as he looked up over Tsukune on stage.
"Gotta say, that's a really good look for yah," the werewolf smiled.
"Yeah well, why don't you get up here and join me. At least that way I'm not making a fool of myself on my own."
"I would, but I need a few more drinks before that," Gin laughed.
"Of course you'd say that," Tsukune grimaced.
It was because of the werewolf that he was even up there and making a complete idiot of himself. Clark was vanished in his own train of thought and was brought back to reality as someone walked passed and gave him a crack on the bottom. He turned a faced the one responsible but she was with another as she giggled.
"Now that's a tough firm ass if I've ever seen one!"
The other beside her laughed as both moved up on Clark and rubbing up against him, and he was with a puzzled expression and Bruce catching a glimpse of this from where he sat and more than amused. As if things weren't bad enough now this, and it only made things worse as he thought about both Lois and Jon. However he knew how to handle himself in said situations, doing his best impersonation of Bruce Wayne and trying to sweet talk his way out, but they were a stubborn flirtatious bunch and stuck to him like magnets.
"Don't be so nervous good-looking, you new around here?"
"I reckon he is love, aint seen this one ever."
Without really much to say on the matter Clark was pulled out onto the dance floor and both vampires laying out moves over him and one removing his hat from over his head and wearing it herself. All the girls were out in front of the stage and it was one hell of a view. Tsukune strutted right out to the edge of the stage in front of them. He tossed his jacket aside and all the crowds applauded. With a deep breath, he stared back at the girls for a second before sliding down into the splits right at the edge of the stage. They all screamed as his legs spread and Tsukune leaned forward and unsnapped a gadget pack that he'd been carrying. Smooth as he was the vampire slid hands free up from the splits twirling a dagger.
He laughed with them as it was awkward as hell for him to be up here, and had Moka been by his side it would have been a lot easier. One of the dancers swaggered as she walked over to him and intentionally bumped her side up against him. Stepping wide he bent from the waist with a huge grin that made her flush red. The dancer carried a red rose which she spun about over her finger, waving it as Tsukune snatched it from her using only his teeth. The spectators cheered as money was tossed up onto the stage. One of them pulled him back and with his arms pinned behind his back as another spun her hips over him in a circular motion.
"You like that?!" she shouted over the music.
Tsukune was without an answer as her body zipped down only to then glide upward and over him. Gin was laughing so hard it almost hurt as he could see the torture they were putting Tsukune through, and the guilt he must have felt if Moka was anywhere in his mind at the time. The werewolf turned around just in time to see a woman leaning over and in front of Bruce just before she settled in and sitting in his lap.
"You're too good looking to be sitting over here and all by your lonesome. Why don't I keep you company?"
Not a moment later did she push up off him and pull Bruce out of his seat and pulled him along towards the bar area where a handful of her associates stood around. Bruce started to wonder if all the women inside this place were the same way, willing to pull the trigger and get what they wanted without reluctance. He introduced himself to the group but of course without using his real name. And it was for the next hour or so that they partied and enjoyed themselves until a few persons became unsettled.
"Hey, you over there!"
Clark turned his head around just as three persons approached and at the center of them was an angry individual with his fists clinched.
"Reo, it's not what it looks like."
One of the women jumped out in front of the three, but she was quickly shoved aside as the vampire in the middle cracked his knuckles with his eyes over Clark.
"Silence bitch, I'll deal with you later!" his eyes were locked over the kryptonian. "You must have liked that huh, having my woman all over you!"
"Excuse me?" Clark resituated the glasses over his nose.
"Oh don't give me that bullshit!"
The vampire snarled with his fangs exposed and raising his yokai as a heavy aura surrounded his body. Reo also tossed his jacket aside just as Clark coughed while clearing his throat.
"Listen, I really don't want any trouble."
"Little too late for that, no one gets all close and cozy with my woman and then just gets to walk off like nothing happened. To hell with all that shit!"
"Please," Clark shook his head. "You don't want to do this."
The vampire only laughed as he licked at his lips as other bystanders took notice of the spike in the vampire's yokai, as he stepped back just before jumping forward. The entire way Kal focused, calculating and adjusting his body to the incoming attack so that he would not be moved. The vampire threw out a punch and delivering a blow to Clark's chest with nearly fifteen tons of hit power and Kal unmoving while Reo cried out as the bones in his knuckles shattered in addition to his wrist. The vampire immediately fell to his knees and shouting at the tops of his lungs, and his buddies looking on with fright. He was of course a vampire and would make a full recovery with his healing factor, but Clark stepped back and away from him.
"Reo, dude you good?!" one of his pals dropped to a knee and beside him.
With the attention off himself, Clark backed away from them.
"What the hell do you think, I almost lost my whole damn hand! Just what is that fucker made of!" he barely looked up as he bit over his lower lip and drawing blood.
Those who witnessed the exchange were in shock, but didn't get a good look at Clark as he disappeared through the crowds, getting as far away from there as he could. It was on the other side of the club where he spotted both Bruce and Gin around a pool table.
"We're leaving," Clark moved in between them.
Gin laughed the comment off and shaking his head.
"Leaving… yeah l don't think so. A couple more hours and…"
"Now!" Clark shouted.
The werewolf almost jumped out of his shoes, and Bruce lowered his cue stick and eying Clark. No explanation was needed as it was pretty clear that whatever Kal's reasons for wanting to get out were warranted.
"Sure thing," Gin gulped. "Let's just find Tsukune first."

They found themselves out in the middle of nowhere in the Sahara Desert, a group of just over ten led by Vandal Savage who took his place over a sizeable rock and rubbing his hands together. Among the faction and aside from himself was Captain Cold, Deathstroke, Mirror Master, Cheetah, Clayface and the rest yokai warriors ranked in the C-B class.
"What the hell are we doing sitting around for, Ched sent us out to find a Chirismoy shell, not take a damn vacation!" one shouted.
Among those yokai was secretly an S-rank, who just so happened to be Zorvu, the one covered in armor from head to toe. No one knew much about him as he mostly kept to himself, including what was under it all but that didn't stop a margin from guessing. Zorvu himself took a couple steps and sided over Vandal's left. Everyone else looked on with attentiveness, wondering if there was an exclusive reason for this.
"When I forewarned you Vlet requested we scout out this location for other shells… that was a lie," Savage stood from the sizeable pillar. "I see potential in each and every one of you and not otherwise hypnotized by Fairy Tale and its schema, which is why I handpicked you all."
This prompted most to at least gaze at one another, some questioning if they heard right. And then there were the few that had at least crossed paths with him in the past trying to figure if he was serious or if it was some sort of sick joke. But the look in his eyes was telling and Mirror Master was one of the few to notice this.
"Chose all of us you say… what for?"
"It is exactly as he said, there is no trickery here and it certainly doesn't require rocket science to understand what he's expressing," Zorvu spoke. "Savage has a plan of his own distinct to theirs and you're all here because he sees and understands the talents that you and I possess. That's part of it, but he also sees that you lot aren't brainless loyal pigs to the likes of Fairy Tale."
"And why would any of us side with him, or you?" Deathstroke looked Vandal in the eyes. "What would I gain?"
Savage was with an unmistakable grin that didn't go unnoticed.
"That shouldn't be difficult for a clever shot like yourself to figure, Slade Wilson. You're a mercenary that answers to the highest bidder and I'll triple whatever Fairy Tale promised you."
Though his features were concealed by the mask, Vandal could feel Slade's face beaming.
"You've got my attention."
The rest of the group were also all ears as Vandal paced about with his hands behind his back.
"For those that do and those that don't, let me first state the obvious… I, Vandal Savage have walked the world of man for fifty thousand years and have seen much, including the entity Fairy Tale seeks to resurrect. The great demon Argias, banished to the realm of Zelliatos. I never confronted the said demon during the days he walked this world, but I inspected from afar. Truth be told most of what he did was in secret or in the world of monsters where he prominently operated. He and the one Apollo, were once upon a time, connected at the hip as the greatest of allies."
"Apollo," Captain Cold laughed. "As in the ruler of the monster world, that Apollo? The one Vlet alluded to over and over in early briefings? I was under the impression the two of them were the greatest of adversaries."
Vandal was only with a shake of his head.
"Not in the beginning, it was actually the other way around. They were known as quite the duo. The greatest for a three century stretch. And it was no longer than that which things began to fall apart between them. Far past the point however, a story for another time. What I'm getting at is the demon himself, Argias. A creature of so much vision and ambition and locked away inside a hellish realm for centuries and one must wonder what that might do to one's mind."
"Where are you going with this?" Cheetah questioned.
"Simple, Fairy Tale is doing far too much assuming; believing what went in will return as it had been. I will not bow to this demon and neither should any of you. Who's to say this Argias doesn't seek the extinction of us all?"
The statement got many around thinking, but Clayface scratching at the side of his head.
"Don't get it…"
"What Savage here is saying is that the demon Fairy Tale is so desperate to free might not turn out to be all that he's hyped up to be. I don't know about you all, but I'd rather not be around to find out," Cheetah added.
"Legitimate, but I would like to hear more. I'm not making any decisions until I know what you're planning," Deathstroke said.
Others among the group were just as Slade, wanting answers. Savage quickly nodded whilst taking a deep breath.
"Just a small sample, a majority of the details can wait. I don't have the means to do so myself as of now, but the idea is to get my hands on the Seal of Darkness and wield its power, but it hardly stops there. The seal of light is also an item of interest."
"Achieving that would require the resurgence of Argias, wouldn't it?" Mirror Master responded.
"It does," Vandal responded with a grin. "Why do you think I ganged up with Fairy Tale? I did my homework far before an official decision, and my plans have been set in place for quite some time now. But I'm incapable of wielding any magic of the sort, I will first need the staff of Kuenuiko Ayano, also the creator of the eight Drocgoeus, among other things. That staff, with the Seal of Darkness attached will grant me the abilities to cast even the most powerful spells, but to a limit. I would never have the capabilities of reaching the levels of a natural born wizard, it is all in the blood. But with the staff and the two seals I'd have more than enough power to accomplish what needs to be done."
"And what of your end game?" Cheetah asked. "Once you harvest this power, what then?"
Savage chuckled while he rubbed his hands together.
"What other than to save this world from its suffering. Those not carrying their own weight or considered a waste of space shall be removed. I've dreamt of a paradise for so long… and at the center of it all I shall rule. And with persons like yourselves at my side, my will shall be enforced. But before I advance I must know if you're in or not. Of course in the short term we shall continue to follow Fairy Tale and its activities without question. They're still quite valuable in getting to where I need to."
Quietness fell over them from there and while some stared directly at Savage, others just sort of looked out into space. A decision on the matter didn't come quick for anyone, and it was Deatstroke who was the first to agree to the presented terms, which was then followed by Mirror Master. Soon thereafter others followed this trend until there was no one left and Vandal Savage with a victorious grin.
"Good to see you've all made the right choice. The process will be a slow one, but I can assure you your cooperation and input will pay off."
Aside from all that Cheetah's eyes were glued to Zorvu, still guessing what exactly was behind all that armor.
"We shall return to headquarters, but before we do you must keep this little gathering of ours secret and go about your business as normal. There are those among them who're quite perceptive, particularly Kiria, the oldest of the Shuzen's, Circe and of course Vlet himself. Be wary of what you do from this point on."
Everyone was with a quick nod and in the following minutes they returned to base, but not before discussing a few small details.

Just over an hour in, Fang Fang arrived and Yukari joining him out on the dance floor. The prior conversations between the ladies were however kept from him. The two of them enjoyed their own space on the floor. The lights were low and matched their mood, soft and heady. The strains of the instruments swirled around them, moving their legs and hips, as their bodies willingly complied.
"They're so cute," Morrigan sat at a table with her chin rested in the palm of her hands. "Nothing like young love."
"You can say that again, I really hope it works out for them," Ruby added.
Moka was also on the dance floor, but she did so alone and enjoying herself. She didn't hear him walk up behind her, but she sensed him, as he got closer.
"You," she turned and faced him.
It was an individual with light short spiky brown hair, light purple eyes and standing at 5'11.
"Yes, I spotted you out here on your own and I just couldn't have that. A beauty such as yourself should never be forced to dance alone. Why don't you allow me to be your dance partner?"
"Fumiya Ichiro, is it? We met at the Blood Dream function. Yeah sure, it can get sort of lonely out here."
The vampire stepped into place and positioned himself accordingly just as the music switched to something else, something slower paced and calm. The lights also dimmed down as the silver haired vampire closed her eyes. She felt his arms go around her, pulling her into the warmth of his body, as she moved with him and did so at the same pace. They did so for a little over a minute, but then he stopped and turned her around. She opened her eyes and looked at him.
His hand raised up gently to clutch her own, raising it to shoulder level as he spread his fingers and entwined them into hers; both vampires moving in sync. He moved his other hand slowly as he extended his arm to encircle her back. Moka could feel each of his fingers; thumb, index, middle, ring and pinky pressing warmly and strong into her back, as the expanse of his palm drew her closer to him.
Unknowingly, her free hand lifted, coming to rest on his arm, travelling upward as it explored the contours of his muscles, before moving up his shoulder and around his neck. Her thighs pressed against his, body against body, as he held her against him firmly in place. His feet began to move and hers followed with elegance. It was the strangest feeling ever but it felt like they'd done this a thousand times before but it was their first and her eyes locked on his.
As they moved, she got the sense, the way he held her, that he was never going to let her go, and she closed her eyes, bent her head to his shoulder and imagined it was Tsukune she was with. Inhaling deeply, Moka took in the smell of Ichiro before she was forced back and twirled her around. They were far within the crowds over the dance floor so out of the view of Kurumu and everyone.
