Seal of Darkness
CHP3: Mysterious Crime
Before long, the day was over, Tsukune sitting in his office and going over the last of his paperwork. There was still no word from her, and he worried if something happened, but he was sure she'd walk through at any time, even if tomorrow, or the day after that. He sat back, glimpsing out the nearest window, sighing. When assuming the role of headmaster, never imagined it'd turn out to be so much work, but enjoyed it more than anything and was grateful to takeover. The academy was like a second home to him and much of the people around were like family. He stapled stacks of papers together, placing them in specific piles. A knock at the door, grabbed his attention.
"Come in," he spoke softly.
A woman of medium height, entered through the doorway.
"Good afternoon Tsukune, thought I'd stop by and say hello, since I was passing by these parts. The new registries seem to be getting by pretty well, for the most part; a couple issues here and there but nothing major. How have you been holding up with everything?" she fully entered, letting the door swing shut behind her.
"Thanks for stopping by Ruby-san, I'm doing just fine, but seeing you here brightens things even more. The opening ceremony is sure to be great with you and others of my choosing running it. Glad to hear things have been civilized, but do keep a watchful eye; it's only a matter of time before something breaks out."
They gazed into each other's eyes for a split second, Ruby blushing and looking away the next instant.
"Well I should really get back to what I was doing and sorry if I disrupted your work. I can only imagine how much effort and how difficult it is running the entire academy, while at the same time having to be on guard, for potential outside attacks."
"No need to apologize Ruby-san, I'm very appreciative you stopped by. After hours in this office, it can get somewhat lonely. Anyway, I won't hold you up and if you happen to see Moka-san, tell her to stop by the office. I've seen everyone except her."
"It's nothing to worry about, she will be here soon if not already, just keep your eyes open," Ruby waved, as she exited through the way she entered.
Tsukune's attention fell back on his work, only a couple stacks of paper remaining. Little by little he went through each individual section, getting lost in his own thoughts and before he knew it, was through all the files. After organizing them, he properly pulled his jacket off the coat rack, stepping out of the office. The final classes of the day drew near and the halls would soon be packed with students.
The role of headmaster was more than just watching over the academy and making certain things ran smoothly. There were outside dangers and enemies he had to keep a lookout for. Down the hall and onto the front lawn of the building, he took a breath of fresh air, a smirk appearing on the side of his face. A couple students mingled around out front, Tsukune walking past them. He surveyed much of the premises, heading to the east side of the building and as he did, his name was called.
"That voice…" his heart skipped a beat.
He had no time to react, as she threw her arms around him.
"Oh Tsukune, it's so good to see you!"
"It's great to see you too, Moka-san, for a little while you had me worried, but I'm glad you're finally here," Tsukune pulled her in close, taking in her red cherry like scent.
It was only Moka now, no Omote or Ura-chan, since the battle with Dracula and the destruction of the Rosario. Moka had been free to live a normal life, without being sealed away. Their embrace lasted longer than expected, and he eventually pulled away staring into her rose red eyes. Through the years of attending Youkai academy, he had developed many relationships, but none were quite like with her. Since the moment they met and she sucked his blood for the first time, he knew there was something special between them.
His chemistry had been strongest with the outer side, but she had been lost during the battle over five years passed. Since then, he'd grown closer to the inner and found she could be just as sweet and pleasant. They stared into each other's eyes for what felt like forever.
"Tsukune can I…" Moka's head fell forward, her lips brushing past Tsukune's to his neck. Moka was pulled away, just as she revealed her fangs.
"Tsukune is now the headmaster, you can't just go around sucking his blood whenever you feel like. How else is he to oversee and run the academy effectively, if drained and feeling light headed all the time?"
"Mizore-chan…" Tsukune uttered, looking her in the face.
"Good afternoon to you as well Tsukune, you're looking good."
The two embraced in a hug, Moka standing off to the side and threw back her long silver hair.
"How about we all get together later for dinner, or something. That way we can catch up, after the long summer break, what do you say?" the vampire, suggested.
"Sounds good to me, I'm caught up on my office duties; just a couple things here and there and my schedules free," Tsukune replied.
Mizore faced Moka, shaking her head as well.
"I'll check with the others and see if we can make this happen, in a couple hours. It's great to see you all again and let's make this another great year, at Yokai academy. Hang around if you can, I need to go and speak with Gin and a couple staffers, but I'll be back shortly," Tsukune grinned.
Nothing made him happier than to see all his friends again and looked forward to seeing what the future had in stored for them.

Four vehicles swerved through the streets of Gotham, disrupting the rest of traffic. Members of the passenger seats rolled down windows, firing at the pursuing police officers. One of the Black Gate escapees unveiled a missile launcher, situating it out the window.
"Try and keep a steady pace, so I can get a clear shot on one of these coppers!"
"I'll do my best," the driver replied.
The police returned gunfire, but were careful not to hit other surrounding vehicles. The circumstance was difficult and the addition of two hostages mixed in it all didn't help. All in all, it was just another night in Gotham, something mischievous always at work. Two out of the four vehicles held the two hostages; the police clueless as to which they were inside. As they came across an intersection, the iconic armored black vehicle, appeared out of nowhere.
"Shit, it's the bat! This aint good at all, we gotta lose him"
In the press of a button, the black vehicle flattened the tires of all four cars, using a laser function. The first car crashed into a light post, while the other swerved off into the side of a building. The hostages took advantage of the situation, fleeing from their captors and towards the police. The top to the armored vehicle slid open and right before their eyes, he appeared, each black gate criminal running straight at him.
As they came within inches, he threw down a cluster of smoke bombs. It was difficult for any to see in the foggy atmosphere. They braced themselves and in an instant the Dark Knight was on the attack. Not long after, the resist and tussle stopped all at once. Batman swung around with only two remaining, uncovering a small mechanism from inside his right glove, stabbing it into the neck area of the attacker, electrifying him. Next, he powered out of the enemy's grasp, landing on his own feet and connecting a portion of wiring around his ankle and letting him hang upside down, off a light post.
Following a job well done, the dark knight returned to the batmobile, speeding off into the darkness.
"Computer, hack the police radio and give me Commissioner James Gordon," the built in computer connection performed the function requested and in moments, he was linked with the police radio, "Commissioner, an update on the incident across from the Classic Splenda, do you have one?"
Without asking, Gordon knew exactly who was on the other line and to that day, still had yet to figure how the caped crusader successfully infiltrated their systems, without a trace.
"This whole thing has gotten weirder every minute. Recovered security footage in the main lobby revealed a woman, receiving a keycard to room five seventeen. But that's where it becomes dicey. The person working the front desk doesn't recall ever seeing the woman, gave her the card to the room, but never got her information, or payment."
"What happened next?" the dark knight inquired.
"She proceeded to the elevators and up to floor five, where she entered the room. Cameras in the front, clearly caught her leaving the premises and crossing the street toward the Classic Splenda. We're in talks with management, of the newly opened building and should soon have access to all their systems and security footage. Anyhow, our woman returned to room five seventeen nearly thirty minutes later and no longer then ten minutes after, Luke Rodger Vincent arrived. Strange as things have been up to this point, footage past that don't show her ever leaving the room. The next and only activity captured in that hall was the arrival of the GCP and myself."
"Was the footage compromised, or tampered with?"
"Doesn't look like it, and we can throw out the possibility she jumped through the window, no one could survive the fall and not to mention someone would have seen her, with the streets packed as they were, for the grand opening. As we speak, Ced Hensz is being taken into custody, for questioning." Gordon replied.
For several moments, Batman didn't say a word.
"Ced Hensz?"
"The young man working the front desk and ultimately gave our woman a free room, without question. We managed at least two shots of her face and the database has been unable to identify her, but sooner or later we'll find something. No matter how clever this woman thinks she is, with what we've gathered, she won't be able to hide forever."
"We'll keep in contact…I will work things from this angle and see what I come up with. Batman out."
In a single click, the transmission between them ceased, whilst two officers approached Commissioner Gordon from behind.
"Who were speaking with, commissioner, if you don't mind me asking?"
"Just someone from headquarters requesting an update on the situation. If you two would excuse me, I should be headed that way, to oversee the questioning of Ced Hensz. I take it you and what remains of forensics can handle things here?"
"Yes sir," both replied, at once.
There were still various officials throughout the room, trying to find any clues they could. The frustration was felt amongst most who worked the area. Out the door and on his way down the hall, the commissioner placed two fingers over his chin, piecing together what little information they did know. None of it revealed a clear path and would likely remain that way until more was revealed. Even as he stepped into the main lobby, other officers walked around questioning guests to the building, in hopes of finding something.
On the other side of town, Batman returned to the cave through the waterfall entrance, parking where he normally did. Bats inside the cave, swirled at his presence, flapping around near the cave's ceiling.
"You're back earlier than usual sir, is everything ok?" Alfred questioned, having just finished cleaning the glass casing, to one of the bat suits.
"I won't be here for long, something's come up. A friend turned up dead, right under my feet."
"Excuse me sir?" Alfred raised an eye brow.
"The combined calls from Alliya and Terrance were no doubt in relation to what happened to Luke. So far they haven't released very many details to the public and might remain that way until more is uncovered. This one is turning out to be quite the mystery," Batman activated the super computer.
The butler approached, walking down the steps, in the general vicinity of where Batman stood.
"Not to be a bother sir, but what is it that happened tonight? You seem, how should I say, more tense than usual."
"Solving this puzzle might take longer than recent cases I've worked, but I will solve it."
