Of Blood, self control, and reassurance.

"What's with his blood, that attracted the phantom and the real one?"
Capuu Chuu~
The exact moment when Moka tasted Tsukune's blood, the first word that came into her mind was; delicious. It is really tasty; the red, thick, fluid that flows down her throat quenching every thirst that she felt. She cannot specifically describe its taste, everytime she tries to define it words just randomly enter her mind.
Aside from the fulfilled-hunger feeling, when she drank his blood for the first time, she felt a small spark inside her chest, and when she drank more, the small spark felt like it ignited into a bigger flame exploding and expanding the heat inside her body. She knows that her inner self, whom she called as Ura, felt the same tingling heat, so when she pulled and walked away from Tsukune after saying her thanks, they both wondered;
"What was that?"
Not wanting to be late, Moka set aside that small looking matter, and grabbed Tsukune to attend the academy's opening ceremony.
When Omote and Ura, had a short discussion about the 'Tsukue Incident' earlier in their dorm, Ura concluded that their previous reaction only happened because of them constantly drinking blood from medical packs, it only happened because they are used to those frozen delights and that's why when they tasted a fresh, and a direct source, they felt only felt the 'natural' initial bliss because of its unfamiliarity. To sum it up, if they continued to drink from the boy, they will eventually get used to it, making his blood taste bland, insipid, or tasteless at all.
That was the conclusion they reached that night, but after a year they were mistaken.
After a year, a lot of things had happened. Tsukune's confession about his humanity, they met new friends and together, they fought series of monster students that includes lizardmen, slugs, an ominodoki and some monster teachers that includes krakens, medusa, a lamia an apsara. They even encountered a fox demon, a spider woman, and an evil organization that caused Tsukune's transformation into a half ghoul. Heck, her sister Kokoa even entered their academy.
Still after these things, both Moka's attraction to the male, human hybrid's blood never decreased as they expected before. And it only became stronger; to them his blood became more enticing, and irresistible. There was a time when Kokoa, wanting to gain Ura's attention, gave them a fresh blood of a virgin maiden. Apparently, it was a gift for Kokoa from the Shuzen castle. Moka immediately drank the gift, not wanting to waste its freshness. Truthfully, the blood was really tastier in comparison to those medical blood packs that she used to drink, yet, compared to Tsukune's blood caliber; it was still much, much lesser in standards.
It was no myth to vampires about the addicting taste of a virgin maiden's blood. In a vampire market, a virgin's blood is the most expensive drink that they can have. But why, does the weak, lowly and good for nothing hybrid's blood tastes way too delicious, too enticing, and too irresistible compared to a legendary maiden's blood?
Again, as time flies by, Inner Moka considered Tsukune's blood as dangerous, and the reason is her self control. She herself never directly tasted the boy's blood. It is always Omote who have done it. She is their conduit about this blood thingy, she is the reason why Inner Moka indirectly tasted Tsukune's blood, and she is the reason why Inner Moka is also addicted to it.
But the ironic part is, Inner Moka is the one who can't control herself when she is infront of Tsukune. She is more excited to those mornings and after schools capuu chuu compared to Omote even though she is sealed by the Rosario.
"Then what will happen if I am the one who would directly drink it from Tsukune?"
Is this bizarre hunger caused by her vampire instincts? Is it because of her vampire blood? Still not knowing the answer, both Moka just ignored this small looking matter again and just continued their daily routine. Not knowing, that they will lead them to a situation that will answer of their questions.
One morning when Moka woke up, she was feeling weird in a bad way. Her vision were kind of blurry, her breathing is ragged. Not only ragged, but it comes to the point when she can't breathe at all. Her throat feels tight, as if air can't enter or pass through. Without further ado, she was completely disoriented.
"Ura-chan, what is happening?" Omote asked her inner twin, not having any idea on what is happening.
"I have no idea Omote, I am also experiencing this peculiar situation at the moment" Ura answered also disoriented while still inside the Rosario.
Choosing to disregard their predicament, Moka continues her morning rituals and prepares herself for today's class. Feeling slightly better when she drank those bland blood packs she walked her usual way, meeting Tsukune at the specific intersection just like every morning.
But nobody knows that this morning is not normal or usual in every way.
"Good Morning Moka-san!" Tsukune greeted energetically, tilting his head sideways while waving his hand at the approaching Moka.
"Good Mor-" Moka is about to greet back, yet was stopped when she noticed Tsukune's exposed neck , and with a vampires enhanced sight, she saw the beating pulse on his neck, creating a certain rhythm that makes the both of them to sink their fangs on his neck, and taste every part of him.
Every. Little. Part. Of. Him.
She wants to drink him dry, she wants to him his place. She wants to sink her fangs deeply inside his neck to show him that she owns her. To wordlessly tell him that his place is right next to her and hers alone. Unconsciously, Moka released an uncharacteristic, feral growl.
Wait, drink him dry? She owns him?
Omote was alerted by her own thoughts, she can't believe that she just thought of those, inhuman (although she is literally not a human) and suggestive thoughts.
"Moka-san? Are you okay?" Tsukune asked Moka, worry and concern obviously laced in his voice, pulling Moka out of her thoughts.
"I'm okay T-tsukune." Moka answered shortly, stuttering because of embarrassment. To avoid Tsukune's concerned and questioning gaze, she looks down.
"I see. Anyway…" Tsukune started, hints of reddish shades appearing on his cheeks. "Aren't you hungry Moka-san? " He proceeded, shyly rubbing his neck, the precise part where she usually bites him, to send his message.
Realizing what he meant, Outer Moka nervously looked around then tried to ask her inner persona for some help to escape this predicament.
"Ura-chan… Help me please!" Omote pleadingly shouted inside her mind, trying to communicate with her Inner Moka who is suddenly quiet since Tsukune came. "Nevermind!"
"T-this m-might sound weird Tsukune-kun, but I am not really feeling hungry right now." Moka lied, yet, was betrayed by grumbling stomach. Embarrassed, she looks down and added "Or so I thought…"
Tsukune loudly laughed, amused by Moka's futile attempt to lie about her hunger and in hiding her embarrassment. After a minute of good laugh, he regained his composure, looked at Moka and gently smiled.
"Moka-san, we're friends. There's no need for you to hold back." He reassured, and with a grin, he jokingly added "You may even drink me dry if you want."
"Drink you dry…"
"You are mine…"
"Mine alone…"
With those thoughts continuously running in her mind, she sinks her fangs on his neck leisurely drinking his blood without a care in the world.
"Moka-san…" Tsukune whispered, trying to call her attention. Yet, still in bliss, she ignored him focusing on the delicious blood infront of her.
"M-moka-san…" He tried again, gently pushing her head away from his neck.
Moka's feeling it again, she tastes it again. The unbeatable taste of his blood, the blood that over ranked a maiden's; the sweet, indescribable taste of the red liquid that quenches every thirst in her body. Not to mention the feeling , the urge to drink him dry, the urge to taste every part of him, the urge to show him his place, and the urge to claim him.
"Moka! You're sucking too much!" A certain blue haired succubus shouted, flying towards them, pushing Moka away from Tsukune. Then, the rest of the gang entered the scene.
Once again, Moka was awakened from her dazed state. Then she realized that she almost drink him dry. Moka then feels really thankful for the interference of the busty succubus. If she didn't made it in time, and never interfered, Moka couldn't just imagined on what will happen…
Still, at the same time, she feels jealous. She's feeling extra irritation from the way her friends act around Tsukune today. She again unconsciously released a feral snarl, as if sending a warning about a property that is about to be trespassed. Realizing the absurdity of her jealousy, Moka faces Tsukune and then she apologized.
"I-I'm sorry Tsukune-kun… I am really sorry!" Moka apologized, bowing her head to show how sincere she was.
"It's fine Moka-san, don't worry about it."Tsukune answered, not making a big deal out of the ordeal that took place earlier.
The day continued, with Moka, feeling unusually dizzy, unusually hungry, and unusually exhausted. She feels like she didn't drank any blood, packs or not, for two weeks. And at the same time, she feels like she fought their previous enemies again. Without any exaggeration, she really feels tired.
She did her best to avoid Tsukune, or to be exact, to avoid her suddenly latching herself on his neck, sucking his river of life out of him. Throughout the day, Ura didn't talk, whisper or made a move to communicate with her outer self.
Finally, the school bell that signals the end of the day rang, rushing the students, including Tsukune and the gang to leave the classroom.
"You guys go home without me, have to go see a teacher and a tutor. See yah'! Bye-bye Tsukune!" Kurumu said, excusing herself from the gang, of course, not missing her usual, 'suffocate-Tsukune-with-my-bust' persona.
"B-bye-bye K-kurumu-chan!" Tsukune answered, still doing his best to catch his breath.
"As much as it hurts me to admit this, I have to go with cow tits there for I had failed a subject too. Sorry Tsukune, bye bye see you later." Mizore said, also excusing herself from the gang, and throwing an ice kunai at Kurumu's direction.
"I see. See you tomorrow Mizore-chan!" he answered, finally breathing normally.
"Moka-san! Tsukune-san! Have to excuse myself too! Have to tutor those meat-for-brains! See you tomorrow! Don't do naughty things without me!" Yukari teased, suddenly disappearing probably with the use of her magic, removing Tsukune's chance to properly bid his farewell and to deny her perverted implications.
"So it's just the two of us for today, Moka-san." Tsukune said with a smile, yet Moka didn't answer nor acknowledge Tsukune at all.
She is doing her best in controlling herself, or to be precise her vampire nature. She feels that something bad is happening to her, and surely that will affect Tsukune too.
Any moment from now, she knows that she is about to faint, not because she is in need of drinking blood, but because of her unusual weariness that came from nothing. She feels really sleepy, yet afraid to sleep, for she doesn't know what she'll do to the deliciously smelling and looking boy in front of her once she closes her eyes and let sleep consume her. Her aces in protecting Tsukune from herself; their friends to be exact, are away, leaving her without a choice to spend this crucial moment with Tsukune.
Honestly speaking, she has an idea, a very small idea about this situation, but it is too absurd to consider that answer. Tsukune is her friend, her very first friend so Omote might consider him her bestfriend. But now, Omote can't deny the romantic feelings that she is starting to harbor for the hybrid. Who could blame her? Never in her life had she seen such an admirable being! Too weak to protect anyone, but is very willing to protect those he cares for ready to throw his life on the line if needed. Who wouldn't admire a boy who did not took advantage of the girls surrounding him, wholeheartedly offering themselves at the same time.
Still after all of this honorable deeds, Inner Moka, her real self, does not feel the same. For Ura, Tsukune is nothing but a colleague and a delicious blood bank. If one wants to exaggerate Ura's feelings, it will appear that she considers Tsukune as her closest friend; nothing more, nothing less.
Vampires are selfish creatures. They wholeheartedly believe that what they believed to be theirs is actually theirs and will fight for death for it. One known example about that selfishness is their mate or their future mate. Once a vampire falls in love, the said being will feel sudden urges, will think of unusual thoughts, and feel absurd jealousy. And if a vampire loses, or failed to claim their wanted mate, it was rumored that they will go berserk forever or will be out of control for a short period of time. Although those rumors aren't proven yet.
This explanation perfectly fits with their situation, but the problem is, the phantom persona is the one who is in love with Tsukune. Not the vampire being herself. They shouldn't be facing this situation at all, not unless…
"She is lying, and is inlove with him too…" Outer Moka whispered, finally reaching a sensible conclusion. She then looked at Tsukune, and for the first time during their too peaceful walk, she smiled.
"Are you really okay Moka-san?" Tsukune asked, it is possible that he was talking while she was alone in her thoughts earlier. Ignoring his question Moka just continued to look at him.
"This… Will be over soon Tsukune-kun… Sorry, and please just trust me…" Moka softly said, and then she passed out, Tsukune catching her.
Young and selfless Aono Tsukune is really panicking, not knowing the best thing to do, not to mention, he doesn't even know what is happening right now nor has the slightest idea about their predicament. This morning, his love interest slash bestfriend almost sucked his life out of him, but to him, that is not a big deal at all. She is a vampire for drac's sake!
What made him worry is, despite the amount of blood that she drank from him, she still passed out, sleeping in his arms. He gently shook his bestfriend trying to wake her up, but she didn't even release a whimper or a grunt.
Out of the blue, a red light surrounded them. Since he already spent a lot of time with her, he knows what exactly the light is all about; her youkai is being released… Being released without his help.
The next thing he knew, the pink haired vampire who was asleep in his arms moments ago just transformed into her real self, now awake and lively. Her usual tantalizing, yet, glazed red orbs staring right through his raven ones, as if reading his thoughts and feelings. Seeing the awkwardness of their situation, Tsukune immediately released the white haired beauty and took a few steps away from her.
"S-sorry Moka-san! It's not wh-what it looks like! I am not taking advantage of you! P-promise!" Tsukune swore, doing his best in explaining. But the vampire just ignored his blabbering and slowly walks towards him.
To Tsukune, Moka looks slightly different. Her powerful aura is still there, the air of authority is still there, but for him, Moka's current condition feels more fearsome, giving him some goose bumps and sending a shiver down to his spine because of fear and something that he can't explain.
"M-moka-san?" Tsukune called, slowly stepping away from his friend who continues to walk towards him.
Within a blink of an eye, Moka is suddenly infront of him, then she pushed him to a tree, by using her vampire strength she pinned both of his arms. He felt pain oozing from his back, he winced, then he looked at Moka who uncharacteristically looks disoriented. Her eyes look unfocused and glassy. He tried calling her but no words are coming out of his lips.
Moka's lips are moving, she is saying something. Something he can't hear or understand because of his dizziness. And then, the next thing he knew is Inner Moka latching herself on his neck, before everything went black…
"Delicious…"
"I want more…"
"Dry…"
"You're mine…"
Those are the only thoughts that are running inside her mind when she woke up. She can't think straight, she is not even trying to think at all. All she want to do is to follow her instincts, and that is what she is about to do.
When she sees Tsukune, the object of her hunger and attraction, her body automatically moved, making its way towards him. Of course, because of fear, Tsukune backed away, provoking Inner Moka to use a bit of strength. (For a vampire that is.)
She pushed Tsukune on to the tree, holding and pinning him for him not to escape. She then puts her knee between his legs to stop any possible movements of his lower body.
"Know your place Tsukune…" Moka said in a bloodcurdling, yet seductive voice. "You. Are. Mine."
Not wasting any time, she then descends her fangs on his neck and leisurely sucks his blood. Her desire to feel or taste more of him is still there, that's why she put his pinned arms behind him, subsequently withhold it by pushing her body to his, restricting movements from his torso and his lodged hands. Now her hands finally free, she embraces him feeling more of his body.
Rich, its taste is really exquisite; it is full of flavors just like how she remembered it. She craves for more, she really wants to drink him dry, but she knows that it will never be enough. Even if she kills him right now, she still won't be satisfied.
She was pulled out of her bliss when she felt his limp body against her and when she felt no resistance from him. Moka found herself hugging and crushing and pinning the poor half human. She just realized what she had done. And then it was her turn to panic. The royal, super vampire; just lost her cool and self control over a mere hybrid and almost sucked her acquaintance, and her outer self's oblivious love interest in a very intimate manner.
Not being able to bring herself to selfishly dump his sleeping form there alone in the woods, she carried Tsukune and made her way towards the small alley that separates the boys' and girls' dorm. The small alley that separates them… Again using her vampire's strength, she jumped, performed a roundhouse kick, kicking his dorm room windows breaking it in the process.
Crouching on the window pane while still carrying Tsukune, she expected a very smelly, and an untidy looking room (something typical for a boy) yet what greeted her is a fresh, clean and an in order space. Everything is placed on its proper positions, there is no empty soda cans scattered around and dirty clothes are neatly placed in a basket in a corner of the room.
Entering his room, she softly laid him on his bed. Speaking nothing, she took a deep breath then started to apologize at the sleeping Tsukune.
"Tsukune, I am sorry for the things that transpired earlier. I promise that this won't happen again." She sternly told him, or to be precise, to his unconscious body.
"You know that you're wrong Ura-chan… This will happen again." Omote said from the Rosario
"You are the one who is mistaken Omote." She answered harshly.
"Stop denying it…" Omote persuaded softly, "You exactly know the reason behind our feral actions moment ago. And it will never stop unless you claim him, or at least admit those foreign feelings to keep your sanity in check…" Omote explained.
"How dare you utter lies?!" Ura shouted "I, Moka Akashiya is not and will never be attracted to this puny hybrid!"
"Ura-chan, the more you deny it, the more aggressive we will become. You of all people should know that." Omote again tried to get to her mind.
Already irritated, Inner Moka ignored her other self's wailing, walks toward the window to leave the room, but Tsukune's study table caught her attention. To be exact, the framed photo that is displayed on his desk caught her attention.
There are three children posing at the picture. On the left side, his cousin, Kyouko stood showing a peace sign and grinning like a child should. While on the middle, a younger version of Tsukune, all in his usual timid persona, and blushing like there's no tomorrow. And the reason of his embarrassment is the girl beside him, kissing his cheeks.
It is just an innocent childhood photo, and that kiss is just an innocent childish kiss, but the fact that Tsukune kept and took care of this photo spark an undeniable jealousy inside her.
"Know your place…"
"You are mine…"
"Mine alone Tsukune…"
Ura released a flare of her youkai, she is feeling it again, the sparks of desire, the sparks of her instinct telling her nothing but to claim Tsukune or drink him dry. Within a mere second; she is at the foot of Tsukune's bed, and then one more second; she is hovering over him, and after an another; she was licking his neck and her fangs are protruded ready to bite.
"You're going to bite him again because of that picture Ura-chan? Is that what humans call je-lou-sy?" Omote teased, earning an embarrassed hiss from Ura.
"Shut up Omote." Moka was again awakened from her 'wild vampire state', embarrassed, she just said nothing to defend herself.
"Why don't you just admit it Ura-chan" convinced Omote with a giggle. "It is starting to get obvious you know." Omote added.
The two Mokas continued to bicker on top of Tsukune, none of them realizing that, the boy beneath them is starting to gain consciousness.
"M-moka-san?" Tsukune called, weakness evident on his voice, still in a half-asleep state. "W-what are you doing?" he asked.
Feeling flustered, Moka immediately thought of an excuse. "I was checking my bite wounds on your n-neck Tsukune. Nothing more, nothing less."
His hand instinctively went to his neck to touch his wounds, feeling a moist, chuckled and thought: "She's lying". Tsukune then remembered the earlier incident where he, for the second time, almost died.
"Ah… I remember it now, you lost control." He said to himself. He then sees Moka's guilty face not wanting to see her sad, he consoled her "D-don't worry about it Moka-san! I heal easily because of your blood." He said with a sheepish grin "So no worries!" Tsukune added.
Tsukune noticed the hungry look on the vampire's eyes, and because of his kind and selfless nature he again offered his blood to the girl that he secretly loves.
"Moka-san, I do know that you're still hungry…" Tsukune started, while blushing, he tilted his neck and showed her his pulse. Gathering enough courage he continued "Why don't you drink a sip before you leave?"
Moka smirked at the oblivious boy beneath her. Doesn't he know that he is in no condition to fulfill this peculiar hunger that she is feeling? Doesn't he get the hint the she might drink him dry? Doesn't he learn his lesson after the ordeals that happened earlier? Not to mention, she can do things that will surely shock the innocent boy.
Deciding to teach the naïve teenager below her a lesson, Moka brought her lips to his neck, near enough for him to feel her breathe while she talks.
"Are you sure Tsukune? You are just a human who is in no condition to feed me. Not to mention, I can drink my fill, leave you lifeless and you won't be able to do anything to stop it…" she said in a threatening yet sexy voice. She felt him stiffen. Yet, he forced himself to relax and with a smile, he answered.
"I'm not exactly human anymore Moka-san and I guess I only retain fragments of my humanity. Remember? Your blood is flowing inside me…" He explained smiling. "As I said earlier, your vampire blood did enhance my healing abilities, and I think that includes my blood reproduction too" he chuckled at his own futile attempt to lighten the mood. "Although I might need to sleep a lot after this, sleep like a rock that is." he emphasized, and then closed his eyes preparing himself for sleep.
"Tsk, just remember this. I warned you Tsukune…" She then sank her fangs, causing Tsukune to feel a sting, but not deep enough to draw blood continuously. She then continued to suck on the skin, teasing and tickling the oblivious boy.
"So this is how you play huh Ura-chan? Using my capuu chuu as an excuse to kiss Tsukune-kun's neck?" Omote teased, but Ura decided to ignore her outer self's teasing and continued on her ministrations.
Moka continued her sucking and licking to the boy's neck. But because of fatigue, the said boy is still oblivious to vampire's trick. Now unable to stop her hunger, Moka decided to drink him for real. While Inner Moka is busily savoring his blood, she heard him utter words that only enabled her to hear it because of her enhanced hearing.
"Goodnight Ura-chan,just remember this okay, my blood is the only thing that remains in my humanity, and for you…" Tsukune whispered. "I am more than willing to give it…" And with the faintest and lowest density of his voice he ended; "I love you, you know..."
When she heard that, she felt like she was released from a spell. From the curse of the constant urge of claiming and killing 's when she realized that it's because she is reassured that Tsukune will never leave her. That he is hers and hers alone. Moka smiled against his neck and thought; "You really don't know what you're saying huh, you natural ladies man".
"Awww, Ura-chan is feeling giddy~ So cutee~" Omote teased again
Coming up with another mischievous plan, Inner licked Tsukune's neck to seal the wpund, (adding an unneeded pressure) and from his neck her lips moved upward, kissing it all the way. Then her lips stopped at his cheek, at the exact spot where the girl in the picture kissed him. As if removing her trace from years ago, Inner kissed and licked his cheek before moving to his lips. And there, she took her time.
Her kiss first started as a simple lip contact, then she started to caress his lower lip, then she proceeds to do the same to his upper lip. After a few moments, her tongue then entered his mouth, exploring every cavern. Satisfied, she pulled away, smirked at the sleeping Tsukune, and said;
"Soon Tsukune, just wait, and I will take my claim. I'll show you your place, and tell you mine." Moka got off Tsukune looked around and added "Not to mention, I still have a window to fix, and a picture to burn."
