[two days later]

They were at the Newspaper Club, Gabriel, Moka, Kurumu and Yukari were working at the newspaper, while Tsukune was spacing out.

Kurumu: I can't take this. It's finally Saturday and we're all packed in here.

Yukari: It's true, we're just like a mangaka being chased by a deadline. And we're not even getting paid!

Gin: Stop bein' babies! A newspaper's the same as manga, with strict adherence to deadlines. The incident with the art teacher that's gonna be all over the front page was two days ago, Thursday!

Ain't no one gonna call us a newspaper if there ain't no reporting immediately on her. Look at Gabriel, he is working faster than you!

Gabriel: I'm doing this so I can leave this dumpster and get back in my room, now stop drink coffee and work, dog!

Gin was indeed relaxing while drinking coffee and judged other people.

Yukari: He's letting it go to his head just like a manga editor.

Tsukune: Why do we keep connecting this to manga!?

Then Kurumu hugged Tsukune.

Kurumu: Well, I don't care what I'm doing as long as I'm with Tsukune.

Yukari: Get away from him!!

Then Yukari waved her wand and a washtub appeared over Kurumu's head, making her release Tsukune.

Yukari: I can't get anymore Moka… But I will not let you get Tsukune!

Meanwhile, away from Gabriel's En range, there was someone over a branch of a tree doing photos to Moka and Kurumu.

?: ...Uhuhu there you are my beloved one. Aaah! You're so cute!! Just watching you like this isn't enough, I can't take it anymore. Just you wait! Soon I'll be holding you in my arms! Hu hu hu hu hu…

Back at the classroom, the teacher entered with some snacks in a bag.

Shizuka: Is everyone working hard? I brought snacks!

Gin: Teacher!

Shizuka: Well, is the work continuing? It doesn't even look like I need to ask, does it?

Moka: There are a lot of cuts and a lot of pages, it's a lot of work.

Shizuka: Well come on, eat the snacks and cheer up, ok?

Then she gave the group her bag and they took some things, one of the things they found was a raw fish.

Tsukune: Teacher!? This fish is raw…

Shizuka: It's delicious that way!

Tsukune/Yukari: RAW!!?

Gabriel took the fish from their hand and ate it immediately, before starting to work again.

Gabriel: I really needed some meat…

Then Shizuka walked towards Kurumu with a letter in her hand.

Shizuka: Oh yeah, Kurumu, this letter was dropped in front of the classroom.

Kurumu: Letter?

Kurumu took the letter and and read what was wrote over it.

"To my beloved Kurumu,

Nagare"

Kurumu: 'Love letter?? Who's this? And why now… Nagare?'

Then she opened the letter, finding a message and many dirty pictures of her, then she read the message.

"If you don't want these pictures to become public, come alone to the Monster Tree in the main schoolyard,

Nagare"

She blushed at the pictures and hid them immediately in a toolbox.

Kurumu: 'Kyaaaa!! What's going on, aren't these my dirty pictures, meaning this is really a blackmail letter!!?'

Tsukune: What's wrong, Kurumu?

Kurumu: Ahahahaha! I just kinda remembered I have to do something so I'll be taking off, ok!?

Tsukune: Kurumu!?

Kurumu: Take care of the rest for me!

Moka: Wait… The deadline… Kurumu?

Gabriel raised an eyebrow, thinking at something.

Gabriel: 'This should be that moment, the blackmail… Meh, I'll let Tsukune become the man this time…'

[Meanwhile]

Kurumu was alone in front of a giant tree which had a monster face naturally carved in. Then she heard a voice.

Nagare: Hey, I've been waiting for you! So you saw those pictures and my letter… I'm glad! Long time no see, eh Kurumu?

Kurumu looked up and got a bit pissed off.

Kurumu: Who are you?? What do you want!? Calling me all the way out here with those dirty pictures…

Then she put an hand in her pocket, but didn't found anything.

Kurumu: 'Ah… Those pictures. In a panic I hid them in the toolbox and left them there!'

Nagare: I took really cute pictures of you, right? I really liked them!

Kurumu was disgusted from his appearance, which was full of body liquids.

Kurumu: 'Ugh… What's with this guy? He's all slimy with sweat or something, it's a little scary…'

Nagare: I'm Kanou Nagare, don't you remember me?

Kurumu tried to remember but she can't.

Nagare: So that meeting was fate!

Kurumu: '...I don't remember at all… I guess I talked with a lot of guys in order to compete with Moka before I was defeated from Gabriel and met Tsukune…'

Nagare: I've been waiting all this time ever since then! Go on a date with me right now just like you promised, Kurumu. Unless you want 'Those pictures' to be shown to the whole school?

Kurumu panicked at his words.

[Meanwhile]

The people at the club waited for some time, but Kurumu wasn't there yet.

Tsukune: ...Kurumu isn't coming back.

Yukari: We have no use for people who run away like that.

Tsukune: 'You sure can be harsh Yukari… For an 11 year old.'

Moka: You know, I wonder what Kurumu thinks of the newspaper club.

Everyone turned towards Moka, and she continued to talk.

Moka: Kurumu is here because she likes Tsukune, right? And she totally hated me at the beginning. The truth is that maybe she doesn't think of us as friends, because going off like that at such a busy time for everyone is really weird!

Gabriel: Maybe the things that she needed to do are really important, who knows, we can't still judge her, even if I am a bit curious myself… 'It is surely the blackmail arc…'

Everyone nodded and continued to work

[tomorrow]

Everyone except Kurumu was at the club today, and Moka panicked, because…

Moka: They're gone!? The drafts we had half finished yesterday… They're all gone!!

Everyone: Whaaaaaat?!

Gin: That's crazy… They were stolen!?

Moka: What are we going to do? We won't make it in time if we do them all over.

Yukari checked the computer but there wasn't nothing.

Yukari: Iyaaaaa! My data was even deleted!! My backup disk is gone too… And on top of that they read my diary!

Tsukune: Even your diary?!

While they were talking, Gabriel checked the toolbox and found a letter, then he opened it.

Yukari: And even worse, the keyboard is all slimy like there were slugs crawling on it.

Tsukune: Darn it, there's nothing we can do!! We don't have the time to search for the thief now.

Gabriel: Yes, we have it…

Everyone turned towards him, and looked at his hand, there were many pictures of Kurumu in dirty moments, everyone panicked except Gin, who had a trail of blood going down from his nose.

Gabriel: She's blackmailed, and is currently under the monster tree…

Moka: What?! Let's go!!

They nodded and followed Moka, but Gabriel decided to jump from the window and observe everything from a tall tree, he arrived in time to see a giant slug entering a room from the hole under the door. And some moments later, the others arrived, and tried to open the door.

Moka: Kurumu!! Kurumu, are you in there!? Gabriel found the pictures and the blackmail letter in the club toolbox, we understand your situation Kurumu!

Then the door opened and instead of Kurumu, a giant slug got out.

Tsukune: Wha-

Nagare: I was thinking of making you my next target, Moka, and just think now I get to have you at the same time as Kurumu.

Gabriel heard it and was pissed off, while Nagare released a poisonous gas that paralyzed Moka and Tsukune.

Tsukune: Aah!

Nagare: Uheeheeheeheeheehee!

Tsukune: Energy is draining from my body…

Moka: 'What's going on?'

Then the slug almost attacked Moka, but a blur that crashed in front of him stopped him, and raised a smokescreen.

When the smokescreen left, it revealed Gabriel in his monster form, and the tail that swayed left and right, Gabriel was looking at Nagare with a cold gaze.

Moka/Tsukune/Kurumu: Gabriel!!

Nagare: Another one? It's useless, you will not escape from my poisonous gas!!

Then the gas covered Gabriel too, but it didn't have any effect on him.

Gabriel: Why should I evade something weak like that? More importantly, I heard you wanted to get Moka too, right?

When he finished talking, he did the same thing he did at Gin, he used Ren and Zetsu, releasing killing intent, Tsukune, Moka, and Kurumu almost couldn't breathe under the terrifying killing intent, and were trying to not puke.

Something that seemed blue and black Youki for the monsters was slowly coming out from Gabriel's body, and indiscriminately covering anything.

Everyone had hallucinations of a pair of purple eyes watching them from above, and the area around them was covered in black and blue wind, Inner Moka was hit too from this killing intent, remembering how Gabriel looked when he unleashed it at Gin.

Everyone had different thoughts about that killing intent.

Tsukune: 'What… What is this…'

Moka: 'Gabriel…'

Kurumu: 'This… This was the same feeling of the other night during the full moon…'

Nagare: W-what is this?!

Somehow, Gabriel's bloodlust was able to give different cuts in Nagare's body, making it bleed, then Gabriel stopped using Zetsu, increasing the bloodlust to entirely another level since it is fused with his nen.

Moka, Tsukune and Kurumu couldn't take it anymore and puked before falling unconscious, Inner Moka couldn't stop trembling under the killing intent, and looked at Gabriel with an hint of fear, but Nagare got an Heart Attack, and died just like that, from fear…

Some moments later, Gabriel slowly walked towards the slug's dead body, and kicked it away, splattering the slug everywhere.

Gabriel: Tsk, I have enough of this shit… Everyone with this 'I will take Moka', 'Moka is mine', I swear I will kill immediately the next person…

Then he stopped releasing his killing intent and sighed before taking the unconscious friends away, and putting them in the infirmary.

He didn't knew that showing off that killing intent, made everyone at the academy tremble, students, teachers, the principal couldn't stop shaking too.
