Sengoku + Vampire: Fruits That Blossom In The Dark Chapter 1: A New Era Begins
The area around was desolate and barren. There was little to no vegetation and the area was covered in tombstones. Instead of the normal blue, the morning sky was dark and murky. Though to most it would seem almost frightening, the eerie surroundings meant little to the three young men who were walking down through the scenery.
The first young man had long dark black hair tied up with a dark red bandana, and vibrant blue eyes. His name was Kenji Ryo. Kenji wore the standard student uniform, but with a black coat with red trimming over it.
The second young man had shaggy black hair that reached the bottom of his neck, and dark brown eyes. His name was Sho Takumi. Sho also wore the standard uniform, with a blue jacket with orange trimming on it.
The third member of the group had shoulder length brown hair and green eyes. His name was Riku Ichiro. Like the other two, Riku wore the standard uniform with a jacket over it. His jacket was was dark green with gold trimming on it.
The trio walked lazily towards the school slightly in the distance, Kenji on the left, Sho in the middle, and Riku on the right. As they walked the only sounds were Kenji's complaining.
"I can't believe we're being sent to this hellhole" he groaned. "Out of all the places they send us, they pick a school, literally filled with people willing to kill us." Sho rolled his eyes at that.
"You knew what you were getting into when you accepted the responsibility. Accept it and stop whining" Kenji scowled.
"Bullshit! No one told me we were gonna be sent to a school for monsters!" Riku sighed
"I know it sucks Kenji, but it's too late to turn back, and your constant complaining will only make things worse" Kenji huffed at that, and scowled further. Sho started to snicker at this. Kenji turned towards Sho and started to rant.
"Oh Shut up Takumi or I'll kick your ass!" Sho responded in kind.
"You wanna go Ryo? Cause I have no problems shutting you up!" The two growled at each other until they heard a female voice call out.
"Watch Out!" They turned and saw a girl coming towards them down the exact center of the path. Where Sho was standing. Caught unaware, the two were unable to move in time.
WHAM!
She slammed into Sho, sending the bike flying into Kenji's head. All three of them fell to the ground, Kenji off to the side, and the girl on top of Sho. Riku fortunately had seen her in time, and avoided the collision.
"Ouch" all three of them said at once. The girl shook the stars out of her head and adjusted so she was on her knees, allowing both her and Sho to get a better look at each other. Sho went bright red. She was incredibly cute! She had long pink hair, green eyes and a pretty face. She was wearing what they assumed was the standard female uniform, along with a leather choker with a silver cross attached to it. She saw Sho's face turn red and leaned in slightly.
"I'm sorry, I must've fainted again. Are you ok?" Sho, at a slight lost for words could only mumble.
"Yeah, I'm fine" From his left he could hear Kenji grouse.
"Yeah, he's fine, he's not the one who got brained with a friggin' bike wheel" The girl apparently didn't hear him, but noticed a cut on Sho's cheek.
"Oh dear, you're bleeding" She reached into her pocket and pulled out a small handkerchief.
"It's nothing. I'm fine" Sho insisted. By this point, Kenji had sat up, and along with Riku, was watching this exchange amusedly.
"No it's not." She frowned as she dabbed the cut. Once she had cleaned it, she pulled her hand back before she stiffened, her eyes glazing over. Sho noticed this.
"Is something wrong?" The girl seemingly didn't hear him, bringing the handkerchief close to her face.
"Wha… what's this?" she murmured. To their shock, she locked the blood right off the handkerchief. "It's so good." All three boys widened their eyes.
Before any of them could react, she wrapped her arms around Sho's neck and started to press against him. Sho blinked in shock.
"What the hell?" The girl ran her tongue over her teeth, and Sho noticed her canines were sharper than normal, almost like fangs. He heard her speak
"I'm sorry" she leaned slightly closer "But you see, I'm a vampire" At that, she lunged and bit him in the neck. Sho, Kenji, and Riku all spoke at once.
"What the fuck?!" Sho jerked his shoulder in an attempt to dislodge her fangs from his neck. He noticed the bite didn't hurt nearly as much as he thought it would. The girl quickly backed up, looking very embarrassed. Sho started to rub his neck.
"What was that for?" The girl blushed slightly before bowing her head a bit.
"I'm sorry, but your blood smelled so nice, and I was so hungry" Sho's eyebrow twitched before he sighed
"It's fine, just don't do it again" He stopped rubbing his neck, as the irritation had ceased by this point. The girl nodded. "So you're a vampire huh?" She pressed her fingers together before nodding again, this time much more shyly
"Yes I am. Do you… like vampires?" By this point, Kenji had gotten up, and was standing near Riku. Kenji leaned in and started to whisper
"You think they remember we're here" Riku shook his head.
"Probably not." They started to snigger before Sho started to talk again.
"Don't know, never met one before. You seem nice though." The girl blushed at that. Sho thought it was adorable. She then blinked, remembering her manners.
"Oh how rude of me. I forgot to introduce myself" She stood up. "My name is Moka Akashiya. What's your name?" Sho stood up before speaking.
"Name's Sho Takumi. Jackass on the left is Kenji Ryo, jackass on the right is Riku Ichiro" The two stopped sniggering and waved slightly before speaking in unison.
"Hi" Moka smiled brightly before bowing.
"Nice to meet you" Riku smiled slightly
"Nice to meet you as well" He looked to Kenji, who was looking really bored, then elbowed him in the ribs to get him to focus.
"What?" Riku pointed towards Moka. "Oh, right. Nice to meet you" Moka smiled before turning back to Sho.
"Are you three new to Youkai Academy?" Sho nodded, and Moka's smile brightened. "That's great! I'm a freshman too! Do you guys wanna be friends? I don't know anyone here and it's kind of intimidating." Sho looked over to Riku and Kenji for their answers. Riku nodded slightly while Kenji just shrugged uncaringly. Sho looked back to Moka and smiled.
"We'd like that." Moka squealed in delight and wrapped her arms around him in a tight hug. Sho's blush returned in full force while Riku and Kenji started laughing at them. Sho mouthed 'I'm going to kill you' towards them, and the laughter increased in intensity. Moka pulled back and broke the hug.
"Thank you Sho-kun." She turned towards Kenji and Riku. "You too, Riku-kun, Kenji-kun" The pair just waved it off. "C'mon then, we don't wanna be late for the entrance ceremony" She grabbed Sho's hand and ran forward, pulling him along, with Kenji and Riku behind them. Riku turned to Kenji as they walked.
"So, what do you think about this place now?" Kenji looked thoughtful for a moment, then spoke.
"It's gonna be interesting, i'll give you that." The two shared a laugh, then ran to catch up to their friends.
The trio had lost Moka during the entrance ceremony, and made their way to class. Luckily, they all had the same homeroom. The walked into class and sat down in the middle row of desks. As more students filed in, their homeroom teacher entered. She was a young, pretty woman with short blond hair styled so it looked like she had cat ears on top of her head. She was wearing a spaghetti strap top, short skirt, and a pair of glasses. But her most pronounced feature was the yellow furred cat tail swaying behind her.
"Welcome to Youkai Academy!" she cheered, bringing cheers from the students. "I'm your homeroom teacher, Shizuka Nekonome!"
Sho, Kenji and Riku didn't cheer, but even they couldn't suppress a small smile at their teacher's bright disposition. Maybe their time here wouldn't be so bad. Nekonome-sensei pulled out a pointer and continued.
"Now, as I'm sure you're all aware, this is a school for monsters!" The three of them were unsurprised at this statement. This was why they got sent here in the first place. Nekonome-sensei continued
"So, like it or not, humans run the world! We monsters have to learn to coexist with them. That is the mission of this school! To coexist peacefully with the humans! Which brings us to rule 1: Always maintain your human disguise. This is our first key of survival amongst humans. To practice disguising yourself, never reveal your true form to your fellow students."
With that, the three let out a breath they didn't know they had been holding. With this rule, they wouldn't need to worry about the truth being discovered. Their worry returned slightly when they heard another student speak.
"But can't we just eat all the humans ma'am?" At this, they turned and saw the student who said that. He had slicked back brown hair and a few piercings on his face. The three narrowed their eyes as he continued. "I could start with all the cute girls." He licked his lips at that. Nekonome-sensei sighed before speaking.
"That's just silly!. There are no humans around. The school is behind a special barrier so no human has ever seen it. Well, seen it and lived."
Kenji almost snorted at that, but caught himself. Suddenly, the door slid open, the sound cutting off the rather morbid conversation. A voice called out.
"I'm sorry! I got lost after the welcoming ceremony and.. I'm sorry I'm late!"
"It's alright" Nekonome-sensei smiled reassuringly. "Just take an empty seat anywhere"
The person stepped into the room, revealing herself to be Moka. Suddenly, all the boys except for Sho, Kenji and Riku stood up, gaping at the beautiful girl walking down the aisles between the desks.
"W-who is that?"
"So cute..."
"That hair…"
"That can't be a disguise. She's too...too" the sentence was finished by almost all the males in the room.
"BEAUTIFUL!"
Moka was surprised at the comments about her beauty, but smiled good-naturedly and continued. When she reached the middle, she saw the three compatriots sitting next to each other.
"Hmm?" She looked straight at Sho, and the brown haired boy blushed under her gaze. "Is that you Sho-kun?" Sho nodded, and her smiled widened as she realized the two next to him must be Kenji and Riku. "It is you Sho-kun!" as she lunged forward, wrapping her arms around him. Sho's blush went thermonuclear and Kenji and Riku started laughing. She turned to them and and hugged them both. "And Kenji-kun and Riku-kun! We're all in the same class together! Isn't it great?" Kenji and Riku nodded, while Sho was still blushing too hard to answer. To say the rest of males in the class were displeased would be an understatement, and they made themselves heard.
"Huh? Who are those guys?"
"How do they rate a hug from her?"
"Lucky little bastards!"
While this was going on, the student who recommended eating humans was grinning lecherously towards Moka as his tongue snaked out of his mouth slightly. He had found something new to play with
Once homeroom ended, Moka wanted to explore the school. Not having anything else to do, our three heroes decided to join her. For the most part, they were being dragged along by the excitable vampire.
"Wow" Moka smiled as she looked down the hallway. "This place is so clean! Neat!"
"Yeah, I guess it is" said Kenji, looking around. "Never really paid much attention to that."
As the four freshmen walked through the halls, the three boys noticed the students stopping and staring at them. Well, staring at Moka at least. It was obvious they were lusting after her from the look in their eyes, and like in the classroom, comments followed.
"Whoah!"
"What a babe!"
"I gotta date her!"
"Who're those guys with her?"
"Who cares?"
"If they get in my way, they're dinner!"
Sho, Kenji and Riku narrowed their eyes slightly, but said nothing. As long as they only made comments, there was no reason to interfere. The group soon stopped at a vending machine. Moka got tomato juice, while Sho got a water, Kenji got a soda, and Riku got an ice tea.
"How do you guys like Youkai Academy so far?" Moka asked as she took a drink from her can.
"It's…. interesting" Sho commented. Kenji snorted at that.
"I'll say. This place is nuts"
"It'll at least be a good place to study" Riku stated. Moka nodded at that.
"I think we're gonna have a lot of fun here" she said with a smile. "Don't you guys think so?"
"H-hai" Sho nodded with a blush. Kenji shrugged his shoulders, while Riku nodded with a small smile.
The four friends finished their drinks, tossed them in the trash, and continued exploring. Once again, they were subjugated to the stares of their classmates, with Moka being oblivious to the lust directed at her, and the hate directed at her three companions. Kenji gave Sho and Riku a look that said 'how can someone be this oblivious?'. Before they could give a response, they turned a corner and saw a taller student, who they recognized as the one who wished to eat humans.
"Hey babe." he spoke as he leaned against the wall with his arms crossed. "Moka Akashiya right? Looks like I'm not the only one who thinks you're cute"
"Thank you" Moka nodded slightly. "Um… who are you?"
"Name's Saizou" he introduced with a smile. "I'm one of your new classmates"
"Oh," Moka nodded. "Nice to meet you… I suppose."
"I'm sure. By the way," Saizou grinned before reaching out and grabbing Sho and Kenji by the lapels of their jackets. Moka gasped at this while the three boys glared at him. "Why is a girl like you hanging out with three pathetic wimps like these?"
Before Moka could try and ask Saizou to let them go, two feet struck Saizou in the chest, causing him to let go and fly back. Sho and Kenji dusted off their jackets before glaring at the taller teen, who glared straight back.
"You little shits" he growled as he got back to his feet. Immediately Moka grabbed Sho and Kenji's wrists and dragged them away from Saizou.
"I'm sorry, but we're in a hurry!" she said hurriedly. "You too Riku-kun, c'mon!" She continued to drag the two, with Riku snickering as he followed, until they happened upon a smaller hall where they'd be alone. Moka stopped, releasing Sho and Kenji's wrists.
"Whew!" Moka sighed in relief. "That was amazing you guys! I never would've thought you guys would be so strong!"
"Thanks" Sho grinned. "But there really was no need to grab us and run. I would've kicked his ass"
"What's this "I" crap?" Kenji said. "I was there too!" Sho just smirked at him.
"Your point?" At that, Kenji's eye began to twitch.
"My point is, if you weren't there I'd have kicked the guys ass no problem" Sho scoffed.
"As if. I'd beat him way before you'd get a single punch in." Kenji took offense to that.
"Do you wanna go Takumi? Cause I'll beat you down right here, right now!" Now Sho was the one who got angry.
"Is that right? I'd like to see you try, you bandana-wearing jackass!"
The two began to trade barbs while Moka looked over towards Riku, who was rubbing his temples at their antics.
"Does this happen often?" she questioned.
"Only on days ending in Y Moka-san" Riku sighed. He then walked up to the two bickering friends and whacked them both on the head. "Enough! You're giving me a headache. Again." The two actually stopped and settled on glaring at each other. "Good, now let's head outside. I'm sure Moka-san wants to explore the rest of the school." Moka nodded and the group headed out, looking for an exit.
"How did you get them to stop fighting so quickly?" Moka asked Riku.
"Just get them to shut up for about 30 seconds and they forget. They've got the attention span of a squirrel." Sho and Kenji turned to them and called out.
"I HEARD THAT!" Riku just grinned.
"I'm sure you did." he said. "I'm sure you did"
The group made their way outside, nearing the dorms. The area surrounding the dorms was similar to the path leading to the school: barren with no vegetation, littered with eerie trees, tombstones and old bones. To pass the time, Moka started asking the three questions about themselves, and vice versa.
"So," Moka began. "What kind of monsters are you guys?"
"Isn't that against the rules?" Sho asked, hoping to not have to answer the question
"Oh, I forgot about that! But I thought since you know I'm a vampire it'd be alright to ask" she replied.
"To be honest, you don't actually look like a vampire." Kenji piped in.
"Oh, that's because of this rosario seal" Moka said, pointing to the cross hanging from her choker. "When it gets removed I turn into a really scary vampire" she said, with her hands dramatically raised like claws.
"Really?" Sho asked. "I really don't wanna get on your scary side then" Fortunately, the subject of her rosario had distracted Moka from the subject of their monster identitys
"So, before you guys came to Youkai Academy, did you guys go to school in the human world?" Moka asked. The three acted more human than monster, so she assumed they lived in the human world for at least part of their lives.
"We did." Sho said. "We actually live in the same town, so we went to the same school."
"Human schools are the worst aren't they?" Moka asked. "I used to go to school in the human world until this year but all the other students thought I was weird, so I never really had any friends until now. I just hate humans!"
Sho flinched at her words, while Kenji narrowed his eyes and Riku sighed before speaking.
"Y'know, not all humans are bad Moka-san"
"Huh?" Moka questioned. "How can you be so sure" Before Riku could answer Kenji spoke up.
"Because we're human." Moka gasped at that.
"W-what? You're human? H-how? How are you here?"
"We were sent here." This time it was Sho who had spoken, his shoulders slumped slightly. "A diplomatic mission to make friends with monsters. I guess that's not happening"
"But-but-but" Moka sputtered, unsure what to say. She had just said she hated humans, and her new friends were humans.
"We understand if you don't want to see us anymore Moka-san" Sho said sadly before turning around. "We're gonna go and find our dorm rooms. C'mon guys." He started walking towards the dorm, the other two following. Kenji glared at Moka as he walked past, the trio vanishing into the forest. Moka could only stare as they walked away, and her shoulders slumped, her eyes focused towards the ground
The three friends walked until they reached a clearing, and decided to sit down. Sho sat on a boulder and started sighing depressingly, Kenji leaned against a tree, and Riku started pacing. After a few minutes of the only sound in the clearing being Sho's sighs, Kenji had enough.
"Would you shut up!" He yelled. "Your constant sighing is really pissing me off!" Riku then spoke up.
"Oh lay off" he said, before teasingly remarking "It's not his fault he fell for a vampire" Kenji noticed Sho blush, and burst out laughing. Sho's eye began to twitch slightly, before he snapped.
"Oh shut up!" he yelled out before looking back towards the ground. In a more depressed tone "It's not like it matters anyway. She hates humans"
"Because she's only had bad experiences with humans dumbass" Riku said bluntly. "I'm sure if you had talked to her, she'd change her mind. But you assumed that since she said she didn't like humans, she'd hate you."
"And you know what they say about when you assume" Kenji piped in. "You make an ass out of you and me. And you my friend, made an ass out of yourself." Sho glared again, before leaning back against the boulder.
"Yeah you're right." He admitted. "I fucked up. And now I have no idea what to do"
"Talk to her" Riku suggested. "She's not unreasonable. I'm sure she'll listen if you listen to her" With that advice, Sho brightened and stood up.
"Alright, let's go find Moka-chan!" He started back towards the school, Kenji and Riku soon following.
"He's certainly excitable" muttered Kenji. Riku snorted at that
"Pot, meet kettle" he responded. Kenji glared.
"And what's that supposed to mean?" he questioned, an edge in his voiced. Riku just started walking faster, whistling a tune as he strolled. Kenji scowled before muttering "I hate that guy"
Moka walked through the forest, sad that once again, she was alone. She had just driven off her only friends because she said she hated humans. She never even suspected that they were even human, though Sho's blood did have an odd, yet interesting flavor.
She shook her head. She needed to find them and apologize. She heard rustling behind and spun around expectantly "Sho-kun? Kenji-Kun? Riku-kun?"
"Sorry babe" Saizou grinned ferally. "It's just you and me now. Alone at last"
The trio walked through the forest searching for Moka, hoping to find her so they could talk. Sho in particular was driven to locate her. Their search was halted when they heard a shrill scream echo throughout the forest.
"What the hell was that?" Kenji wondered. Sho's eyes widened
"Moka-chan!" he yelled as he ran toward the noise, Kenji and Riku quickly following.
Saizou had reverted to his true form, an orc, and looked hungry for more than just food. He was a hulking beast, with thick, dark skin, dark veins running around his torso, and what looked to be bony-armor-like plating around his arms and neck. His teeth had become razor-sharp and his tongue became disgustingly-long. In short, he was the textbook definition of a monster.
"Don't worry babe" He said sleazily "You'll enjoy it" Before he could continue, three rocks hit his head and he turned to look at who did it. It was the punks from earlier.
"So this is the real you Saizou? Riku uncharacteristically growled. "Can't say I'm surprised."
"Sho-kun! Kenji-kun! Riku-kun!" Moka cried out.
"What the hell is he?" Kenji questioned.
"An orc." Sho replied. "All brawn, no brain."
"Beat it you bastards!" Saizou snarled. "This is between me and Moka"
"I'll give you one warning Saizou" Sho threatened. "Leave. Now"
"I'd like to see you three try" Saizou growled.
At that, Sho snorted, and the three pulled out what looked like toy belts, with a small knife one one side, and what looked to be faceplates on the other. The placed the belts on their waists, causing a yellow strap to appear, locking the belts in place. They then pulled out what looked to be bulky padlocks themed after fruits. Sho's was an orange, Kenji's was a banana, and Riku's was a bundle of grapes.
"Don't say I didn't warn you Saizou" Sho growled as he glared at him.
"Wait! Please, just leave. You guys don't need to be hurt." Moka cried out. She didn't want them to get hurt because of her. The three turned to her and began to speak.
"Sorry, Moka-san" Riku said, idly spinning the padlock with his finger. "We can't do that"
"You see" Kenji continued "We're not the type of guys who abandon people in their time of need."
"And we're certainly not the kind of people who leave their friends behind." Sho finished, smiling at her.
"Sho-kun, Riku-kun, Kenji-kun" Moka muttered, tears forming. "Thank you" Sho grinned before turning back towards Saizou.
"Ready guys?" Sho said.
"Ready" they replied.
"Well then, " Sho smirked "Let's show this asshole our..."
"HENSHIN!" the three cried at once, clicking open their locks.
"ORANGE/BANANA/BUDOU" the three locks announced, as they opened.
Saizou and Moka heard the sound of a zipper unzip, and looked up to where they heard the noise. Their eyes widened at what they saw. 3 circular zippers had unzipped the sky! In side the zipper they saw some sort of strange forest on the other side. Floating down from inside the zippers were 3 giant mechanical fruits. An orange, a banana, and a bundle of grapes.
The three paid no mind to the giant fruit. They placed the locks onto the center of the belts, and pushed down on the hook of the locks, securing them in the buckle. The belt then cried out
"LOCK ON"
The belts then began to play music. Sho's played japanese horagai music, Kenji's played european trumpet music, while Riku's played chinese erhu and gong music. The allowed the music to play for only a moment, before the pressed down on the blades, "cutting" open the locks, causing the belts to once again make sound.
"SOIYA!/COME ON!/HAI!
The giant fruits descended onto the three's heads, generating armor as they attached. Once the armor had fully generated, the fruits split apart, forming outer armor on the three warriors. The belts called out one final time to complete the transformation.
"ORANGE ARMS! HANAMICHI ON STAGE!/BANANA ARMS! KNIGHT OF SPEAR!/BUDOU ARMS! RYU, HOU, HA-HA-HA!
Moka and Saizou stood in awe and fear, respectively, of the three warriors standing before them.
Sho's suit was blue with golden accents, and styled after a samurai . The orange had become samurai armor, with rounded shoulder pads. His helmet had an orange back to it, covered in bumps, and a crescent moon ornament. In his right hand he held a sword, the blade styled like a slice of an orange. This was the Daidaimaru. On the left side of his waist was another sword, this one a katana with a gun barrel for the cross guard. This was the Musou Saber. Sho had become Kamen Rider Gaim
Kenji's suit was red with silver accents, and styled after a european knight. The banana had become a knight's armor, with the shoulders being uneven due to its' shape. His helmet had a silver back to it, with yellow, banana shaped horns coming out both sides of the helmet. A blue gem was embedded in his forehead. In his right hand he held a white lance, the guard being yellow to evoke the image of a peeled banana. This was the Banaspear. Kenji had become Kamen Rider Baron.
Riku's suit was green and black with gold accents, and styled after a chinese warrior. The grape bundle had become chinese armor, with the sides becoming flat shoulder pads. His helmet had a purple back to it, with flared designs on the sides, and an ornament on top similar to a topknot. In his hand was a pistol with grape designs on the side, and a gatling gun-esque barrel, with the hammer being shaped like a green grape stem. This was the Budou Ryuhou. Riku had become Kamen Rider Ryugen.
Saizou was dumbfounded at what he had seen. These little weaklings had turned into warriors using fruits. Fruits! He couldn't comprehend what was going on.
"What the hell are you?" He screamed at them.
"I am Gaim! This is my stage now!" Sho shouted.
"I am Baron! I've seen your power, now witness mine!" Kenji yelled.
"You may call me Ryugen! Take your best shot, because mine won't miss!" Riku called out.
"Sho-kun? Kenji-kun? Riku-kun?" Moka asked in awe. She couldn't believe humans could be capable of something like this. They had become armored warriors using padlocks!
"Alright you ugly bastard" Sho said, drawing the Musou Saber. "Let's see what you can do."
"You little shits!" Saizou yelled as he rushed forward. He threw a punch, attempting to flatten them, but they rolled out of the way in time, so his fist hit the ground. Sho and Kenji lunged forward, using their weapons to slash and stab at him while dodging his attempts to hit them. Saizou had more power, but had lost almost all of his speed in his transformation, so it was easy to dodge. While Saizou focused on Sho and Kenji, Riku pulled back the hammer of his gun and pulled the trigger, firing purple energy bullets at Saizou. The shots weren't lethal, but they hurt like a bitch, distracting Saizou enough so Sho and Kenji were able to strike his torso deep enough to draw blood.
"AAAHHH" Saizou screamed in rage and pain. "I'M GONNA KILL YOU SHIT-HEADS!" He slammed his hands together, creating a shockwave that blew the two back, Kenji flying towards Riku, and Sho flying past Moka, landing on the ground with a thud. The Musou saber had been knocked from his hand by the shockwave.
"OK, that hurt" Sho muttered as he stood up, shaking the dizzyness out of his head. He noticed something had gotten caught in weaponless hand. He opened it to reveal that he had somehow removed Moka's rosario. "Uh oh" he muttered as he remembered what Moka had told him earlier.
"Oh, that's because of this rosario seal" Moka said, pointing to the cross hanging from her choker. "When it gets removed I turn into a really scary vampire" she said, with her hands dramatically raised like claws.
Moka only had a second of shock before she was surrounded by a dark aura. Day had turned to night as a swarm of black bats flew out of the sky and merged with Moka's form. Pink hair became silver and her fangs became more pronounced. Her skin became paler and her curves became much more pronounced. She opened her eyes and Sho was able to see her eyes had turned red and become slits.
This was Moka's true form. The S-Class monster. The vampire
"Holy shit" was the only thing Sho, Kenji, and Riku could say at this transformation. It was rather similar to Moka and Saizou's reaction to their own transformation earlier.
"No way," Saizou shouted, sheer power she was exuding knocking him out of his enraged state. "Those eyes, that demonic aura. You're... you're a… a.. a VAMPIRE!" Moka ignored him and turned towards Sho with a small glare, making him gulp.
"Hm, I've never seen anything like you before. Are you sure you're human?" Her voice was different. It lacked the bubbly quality it had before, now she sounded more dominant, mature and…. sensual.
"You'd be surprised what the humans can make when they put their mind to it" Sho replied.
"Fair enough" Moka said. She began to stretch slightly. "It's been so long since I've been out. This'll be a nice warm up." She turned towards Saizou and taunted "C'mon Orc, didn't you want to give me a kiss?"
Saizou roared and ran towards Moka, lunging at her. She spun, easily dodging the attack and letting loose a bone-crushing kick to the orc's back, sending him crashing through nearby tombstones. The orc was slow to get back on his feet, but once he did, he roared again in defiance.
"I don't give a shit if you are a vampire!" He screamed. "I'm gonna kill those punks, and then I'll make you my woman!"
"Make me your woman?" Moka scowled. "I doubt a monster as weak as yourself could make me fall down, let alone become your woman" She turned to face the three warriors. "How's about we finish this?" The three nodded as Saizou lumbered closer, the kick and wound slowing him down.
"Alright guys" Sho said. "Use your kicks."
"Got it" Riku said.
"Whatever" Kenji remarked.
The three pressed down the blades on their belts once, causing the belt to sound out again.
"ORANGE SQUASH!/BANANA SQUASH!/BUDOU SQUASH
Energy began to gather around the warrior's right legs. Sho's was orange, Kenji's was a golden-yellow, and Riku's was a bright purple. Sho turned to Moka
"Follow our lead" he said. Moka smirked.
"Alright"
All four jumped into the air one after the other, the order being Riku, Kenji, Sho, then Moka. As they descended, they all called out in sequence.
"Ryugen Kyaku!"
"Cavaliend!"
"Burai Kick!"
"Know your place!"
The four landed their kicks on Saizou in sequence. The impact sent Saizou flying far away, becoming a twinkle in the sky while he screamed. The four landed on the ground with a soft thud, and Moka turned to the three boys. With the immediate crisis dealt with, they were able to get a better look at their transformed friend. She was even more beautiful without the rosario. The other Moka was gentle and cute, while this one was dangerous, with an aura of seductiveness. Sho thanked god they couldn't see his face, because he was sure he resembled a tomato.
"So," Moka said, her iron piercing gaze focused on them. "Just who are you three?" Sho was the first to crack.
"Fine," he sighed. "We're warriors known as Kamen Riders. Our job is to fight evil, whether it's evil humans or monsters who kill humans." Moka's eyes widened at that.
"We were sent here as part of a diplomatic mission" Riku continued from where Sho left off. "The Yggdrasill Corporation made a deal with the school's principal to send us here to help with monster-human relations."
"Basically," Kenji finished. "We're here to prove to monsters that humans aren't evil and we can get along. They gave us these belts," He pointed at the belt and the padlock. "Called the Sengoku Driver, and these things called Lockseeds. They basically give us the ability to go toe-to-toe with monsters"
"I see," Moka said as she narrowed her eyes. "And what about those names you called yourselves? Gaim, Baron, Ryugen?" Sho sighed at that.
"We're not the first to wield these armors." He said. "There were 3 others who used these belts before, and they decided to pass them on, including the titles."
Moka frowned slightly. Sho was slightly worried she wouldn't believe them and try to kick them in the head. He was relieved when she sighed.
"Your story sounds too good to be true, but considering how most humans refuse to believe monsters exist I have little room to talk." She walked over to Sho and plucked the rosario from his hand. "You all made the right choice to look after my other side. Don't mess it up"
With that, she reattached the rosario to her choker. A flash of light appeared, changing her back to the Moka that the others knew. She was asleep and fell towards the ground, but Sho was able to catch her. He let out a sigh before closing the lockseed on his belt, causing his armor to vanish. Kenji and Riku followed suit.
"I'll say this," Kenji said. "We're in for an interesting school year."
"You said it" Riku remarked.
"Wow!" Moka said in disbelief "So you guys are like superheroes!"
The four were sitting by some tombstones after Moka had come to. Sho and Moka had simultaneously apologized for the misunderstanding and forgave each other, Kenji and Riku smirking amusedly. Then they explained to her what they told the other Moka before she switched back.
"Hmm" Riku said. "I guess we are."
Moka looked at them thoughtfully for a moment, before deciding.
"I've decided, I'm gonna help you guys." They looked at her questioningly. "You guys are here to show humans aren't evil, so if we're friends, it'll show people you're telling the truth when you reveal your identities.
"You'd do that?" Sho asked with a slight blush.
"You guys saved me from Saizou" Moka said, smiling brightly. "It's only natural I help you guys out."
"Moka-chan..." Sho smiled back.
"Sho-kun…"
"Moka-chan…"
"Sho-kun…" Her eyes glazed over. "You smell nice."
"Uh… Moka-chan?" Sho's eyes widened as she suddenly grabbed him and sunk her fangs into his neck.
"NOT AGAIN!"
While this was happening, Kenji and Riku were off to the side, talking.
"Why do I get the feeling this is gonna be a regular occurrence?" Kenji asked.
"Her using him as a juice box, or them ignoring us?" Riku responded.
"Both."
Meanwhile, in an office in the school, a shadowy figure watched an image of our heroes saving Moka and finishing of Saizou
"So Takatora-san" the figure muttered "These are your chosen warriors." The figure stood up and walked towards the window, which overlooked the school. "Let's hope they will be able to weather the storm ahead."
