(Chapter 10) Battle of witch hill

Still y/n pov

Arriving at witch hill I look for yukari before I spot her near the edge looking over the sunflowers. But I also see another person with her but judging from the wand she was also a witch.

Thinking of what I should do, I was tempted to go and reveal myself while my other half instead I stay hidden and wait for something to happen, only then would I take action.

Taking the latter I jump onto a tree and layed on my stomach but still kept my eyes on the two and sealed my pressure as best I could.

With Moka

Tsukune: Uh guys where's yukari?

I look around but don't see her. Where could yukari have gone off to-wait i don't see y/n either.

Moka: Guys Y/n isn't here too..

Where did those two go?

Back with you

I hear a rustling from some bushes and see Tsukune emerge from them. Ruby the witch's name became hostile almost instantly.

Tsukune: Yukari! There you are I was worried something happened after we didn't see you at the beach, say do you know where y/n is?

(Above you.)

Yukari: Oh hey Tsukune. Sorry I made you guys worried and I haven't seen y/n either actually.

Ruby points her wand at Tsukune the wand glowing.

Ruby: So you still come and try to defile our hillside human scum!

The bushes turn into monsters that almost eat the bat that tried giving a fact to someone. Quickly, I grab Tsukune by his shoulders and pull him up before the plant monsters could bite st him.

Tsukune: Whoah! Y/n?!

Y/n: This is bad. We need to get yukari and leave-

Ruby sprouts six black feathered wings and those plant monsters lunch at me and Tsukune. Picking him up I jumped to another tree before any of them could get us. Yukari cuts down the plant monsters for us.

Plant vine things curl around us quickly restraining me before I got the chance to do something. But yukari attacks the monsters who were slowly approaching us and yukari saying she wasn't a kid. Meh, I could respect that.

Bat: Some show down, moka didn't even transform. Weee.

Moka: What are does things?

Moka kurumu and mizore show up to see what's left of the plant monsters. They then scolded yukari and me...yukari apologizes to ruby saying sha can't stay and starts to leave with us. Suddenly pain struck my arm and legs.

Slumping on the ground I see sharp vine tentacles in my limbs. Looking over Tsukune seemed to have had it worse seeing as his back was slashed open.

I was impaled again making me spit out blood this time.

Moka: Tsukune, y/n! NOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Moka's hair turned white and her rosary was going nuts. Mizore was freezing everything around her and kurumu was releasing a lot of bloodlust.

The last thing I remember was me ripping out the tendrils and a big explosion before passing out.

Later!

I woke up and sit up right and try to ignore the throbbing pain in my head before looking around.

Kurumu: Glad you're awake.

Kurumu said half awake and half tired before getting into her mattress.

Y/n: Sorry did I woke you up?

Kurumu: Nah I was just about to go to bed after Ruby settled in for the night too.

Y/n: Wait what?

Kurumu field me in on what happened after the bright pink explosion on the hill saying that Ruby was alright and was sleeping with them for the time being. I look around.

Y/n: If that's the case then where's ruby?

Kurumu: Huh?

Kurumu looks too and doesn't see her either. She instantly becomes awake.

Kurumu: Oh no! We gotta tell Tsukune!

Y/n: Or! Hear me out, we go to bed and deal with this in the morning yeah?

Kurumu deadpans looking me straight in the face saying-

Kurumu: No. Come on let's go y/n!

Y/n: Fine.

We wake the other's up with moka happily embracing me in a hug. After telling them that Ruby was gone we quickly run to witch hill. I was behind Yukari and was glad I was because vine things wrapped around her and doing the same with moka kurumu and mizore.

Ruby: Go back no one's allowed on this hill! Leave or perish.

Moka: Stop it Ruby! This can't be the only way!

Yukari: Please listen to her Ruby! There's got to be another way.

Ruby: I've heard enough!

Ruby swings her wand glowing bright as the ground shakes before plant monsters erupted. They were bigger and seemed to be a lot more deadlier.

Bat: Ahh! Holy crap, i turns out a whole bunch of plant monsters were being cultivated under this sunflower fie-

Ruby smacks the bat with her wand.

Ruby: What you see before you is her ladyship's brood. A loyal army of plant soldiers bred to protect witch hill.

They roared at us. Oh shiver me timbers! I jump back evading one that was going to eat me.

Kurumu: Go Tsukune get out of here!

Kurumu freed herself with her sharp fingernails easily and when the plant monsters closed in on me and Tsukune they were frozen.

Tsukune: G-good job mizore.

Yukari: Stay back it's way to dangerous!

Yukari said crouching down in front of Tsukune wand ready. If I could laugh I would.

Kurumu: Stop it you're just a kiddie witch so who do you think you're impressing?

Mizore: If they hurt you they'll have to answer to me!

Tsukune: Mizore i-i can fight too!

Just as Tsukune shouted that a monster attacked behind him only to be silenced with a punch to it's face by me. I look back at him.

Y/n: You were saying?

Yukari: Don't worry we'll protect you Tsukune!

Kurumu: They won't touch you Tsukune!

Mizore: No they won't!

Y/n: ...wait what about me?

Kurumu: What about you?

Y/n: Nevermind...

I turn and run to moka who was in the grasp of those plant monsters and was being dragged off. But before I could reach out my hand to her those plant monsters grabbed me as well pulling me the opposite direction.

Moka: Y/N!!

Having enough of those damn plants I kick one off of me and in a blur I closed the gap between me and the mound of monsters holding moka. Reaching out I grab onto the rosary.

I pull on it taking it off, in an instant pink energy erupted from the mound as inner moka emerges quickly taking out some monsters already.

Inner moka: Look at you putting in effort? You saved my ass.

Y/n: Yeah I'm definitely sleeping after this. Tsukune hold on to this!

I toss me the rosary.

Tsukune: Hey look out y/n!

Transforming myself I jump up and dive in punching those plant monsters straight to oblivion. Just as I do that moka drop kicks Ruby. Damn rip.

Inner moka: I'll take blood over peace.

Bat: And this episode's showdown was over in a mere, wait what eh?

Inner moka landed on the same pile of corpse I was on. She turns to look at me and smirks.

Inner moka: The cat finally reveals his claws kitty?

Y/n: Meow.

Ruby wasn't done. We bring our attention on to her, she stood up after taking a kick from moka. Joy to the world!

Y/n: Can you like, not get up.

Ruby: No. I'm going to defend witch hill that is my wish. Also because her ladyship demands it!

The previous diced plant monsters reformed into larger versions and a series of vines held Tsukune.

Ruby: Her ladyship commands it so it must be done!

Inner moka: Listen up guys, take care of Tsukune! Y/n your with me.

Inner moka jumps after Ruby and striking her again. Using moka i propel myself at Ruby Punching her in her face. After getting back with moka i dash behind her cutting down monsters, this is such a pain.

Together, vampire and cat performed acrobatics strikes and other feats behind the capabilities and pummeling the crazed witch. But even so, Ruby wasn't going down her resolve was strong. This wasn't good these plant creatures were everywhere and were getting bigger in size. Even after inner moka we still had problems and were getting nowhere either. Standing back to back I stated the obvious.

Y/n: There's a lot of them. We probably shouldn't have fought her on her home field. Ha! Get it?

Ignoring that she pry into me instead

Inner moka: Cat people aren't a race to fight. How come you're incredibly good at it?

Y/n: Let's just say I was well taught. (Kicks monsters back)

Inner moka: Can you keep up little kitten.

Y/n: Stop with the nicknames already you don't see me calling you vamp chick.

I look down the pile of corpse we were on and see Tsukune running pass us, I look to where he is running off to and see a house in the distance.

Y/n: Since you're so tough you wouldn't mind taking over, yeah?

Inner moka: Y/n-

Y/n: Thanks I appreciate it vamps!

I lunch myself and tackle a bunch of monsters that got in Tsukune way before delivering punches to all of them killing them instantly.

Tsukune: Y/n the house! I think the source of all those creatures are coming from that house over there.

I nod and grab his hand.

Y/n: Let's get a move on.

With incredible speed I run us the rest if the way there ignoring Tsukune crys to slow down.

Timeskip

Arriving at the house there were roots coming out of it. I walk over and kick the door open and motion for Tsukune to follow before we entered the home.

Inside wasn't better either. Massive roots covered the walls ceiling and floors, and a stench caught me by surprise.

Y/n: Hey Tsukune tell me something, what do you think about the situation we're in.

Tsukune: Well Ruby just wants to keep others off of the hill right? And her ladyship is forcing her to do this even though she's saying she wants this too.

Y/n: Not exactly.

Tsukune: What makes you say that?

Y/n: Well we haven't met her master yet and are right now only getting the chance even though the master could have help Ruby minutes before. And the closer we got here the more clear my senses become.

Y/n: I don't sense another witch outside of Yukari and Ruby however there is a trace of a third witch but faded over time.

Tsukune: So you're saying either her master left her or that she's dead?

Y/n: Yep.

Pulling back the curtains Tsukune gagged from the stench alone but there she was her ladyship dead in a chair.

Y/n: Hmm. She hasn't even buried her yet seems like she's on a psychological breakdown hiding the memory of her master dying to protect those remaining once.

Y/n: Tsukune you go back I'll stay here and take care of this place.

Tsukune nods before I look around the room one last time.

Y/n: This goodbye for real her ladyship. I hope the after life treats you better then this world.

Raising my hand as a shadow claw like blade formed I bring it down and slashed.

...

Tsukune: Ruby stop this!

Ruby: Shut up! All I'm doing this is for her ladyship-

Tsukune: Just who are you kidding?! I went inside the house to see her and she's dead! She's been dead this whole time!

I walk up behind Tsukune and nod my head in confirmation.

Y/n: Her body was here with us but her soul already passed on. You're emotions created a false image of her ladyship Ruby.

Ruby froze, at the same time so did those plant monsters i look behind me I see one with its jaw open about to eat us.

Ruby then came to a realization.

And then Ruby went crazy. Using a "forbidden spell" as yukari said and combines herself with the plants.

Tsukune: WHAT THE HELL?!

I move Tsukune out of the way and get smack into the pile of tied up vines that were holding Inner moka and the others.

Inner moka: Y/N!

Y/n: (Spits out blood)

Ruby: DIE EVERYONE!! IT'S TIME FOR YOU TO DIE! ALL OF YOU!!!

Yukari: Tsukune my wand! Quick throw it to me!

Tsukune: Right here you go!

Tsukune throws yukari her wand to her and uses it to remove kurumu's shoe and cuts herself free from the vines doing the same with mizore and yukari. Although the rest couldn't be the same for me and inner.

Inner moka: Foolish girl! Just because you're bigger doesn't mean you've defeated me!

Inner moka kicks at the monasteries Ruby but they had no effect even I tried and I bearliy did anything. Vines grab me bringing me closer to Ruby.

Yukari: Moka destroy her wand! Without our wand witches are completely useless we can't even do magic!

Ruby: TRY THAT AND YOUR LITTLE NEKO GETS IT-

Y/n: Normal Punches.

The monsters heads fused with Ruby are obliterated and moka jumps down to us and kicks Ruby's wand destroying it before grabbing me and drags me away from the explosion.

Y/n: Ugh I need to sleep after this.

Inner moka: Not just yet y/n.

Y/n: Hm?

Inner moka: I'm glad you're okay y/n. I could use some blood though..

I sigh tilting my neck for her to drink from which she did so gladly as I felt her fangs sink into my neck. Instead of the little pain I feel I felt something different this time like she was being careful of where she bit down and used less force. Where the blood exited caused me to shiver a little and for her to hold me tighter.

Reverting back to normal inner frowns.

Inner moka: I wanted to pet you.

Y/n: Sorry maybe next time moka.

Inner moka: At least I'll get to do this again..

She kisses me on the cheek before waiting for the bus to come. Huh, that felt kind of nice. The bus pulled up and Gin steps out with Ruby in his arms, I roll my eyes but chuckle before sitting down on the bus seat closing my eyes to allow sleep to take me away.
