"Where am I?"

"What happened?"

"Last time I checked, I was heading to class."

"Did I... just black out somehow?"

The world cannot be changed by petty words alone.

"Huh? Who's there?"

Scenes flashed before the beings eyes, like a montage of old movies. It witnessed the rise and fall of nations, empires forming, only to crumble to dust, millennia passing in mere seconds, and each second lasting an eternity.

"Wha... what's happening? What's going on?"

To destroy the old, corrupted world and remake it in your image.

Is that the glory you seek?

Is that the burden you can bare?

"Glory? Burden? What are you talking about?"

The images changed, replaced with a scene of a barren canyon, where two sides stood before one another, to oppose the other. On the right, tens, hundreds, thousands of armoured figures were mounted on several vehicles, several others on foot. Up in the air, a was a giant fortress, like a medieval castle, only with the head, wings, and tail of a massive dragon extending from its sides. Mounted on the bow of this strange fortress was another armoured warrior, and flanking it were two more dragons, of oriental design, one red, and one black, with corresponding warriors on their backs. On the left, were an equal mass of monstrous creatures, each one appearing from science fiction and mythology. Way in the back, several larger monsters stood, some looking like massive mutated animals, and others like UFOs in the shape of chandeliers, waiting for the signal to be sounded.

Know this... the lives of men are not ours to control. Not even our own.

We cannot defy the inexorable current of fate that carries us.

Suddenly, a loud war horn blew out into the air. The armored men all gave out battle calls in an instant and charged forward, vehicles blazing. At the same time, the monsters also roared viciously and charged forward to meet their adversaries.

But, what if fate itself were to call you...

The armored men continued their charge, explosions erupting around all of them. From the sky came a great roar, and two trains, one red and white, the other green, descended from on high, the warriors mounted on their hulls opening fire.

To change the world? To turn the course of the future?

The army of monsters also went through their charge, undaunted, attacking with energy projectiles of their own. Explosions blasted all around them, but they continued to move forward.

You cannot defy your fate.

The two armies reached each other in the center of the canyon, each of them brandishing their weapons just moments before colliding.

Because there is no fate... but what you make!

And the scene vanished in a bright flash of white light.


Dusk Falls Saga

Episode 1: From Dusk till Dawn


"Huh?!" a young man jumped from his sleep from under a tree. He shook his head and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. "What was up with that dream...?" He removed his glasses to rub the sleep out of his eyes. Why had he dreamt about? It looked like a battle. No, it had been too huge to be labeled as a battle. A war then. It had been a war.

Putting his glasses back on, he gave a yawn as he stretched his arms. Grabbing his backpack, he got up and started get ready to leave. The final bell of the day had long since rang, and the school was almost empty. Looking at his watch, he found that he had sometime left before it was time to head back home.

"Saji-san should be back in the library," he commented to himself, "Maybe we can catch up a bit."

Shinichi Sanban was someone you'd consider to be a pretty average kid. He was a 16 year old first year student of Ryoukai High School. He was very intelligent, getting high grades at just about all of his classes. He sucked at Kanji though. He was wearing a green blazer over a white shirt with a red tie and brown slacks. He wore green sneakers on his feet and had his backpack hanging from his shoulders. He had feminine features, albeit slightly plain, with indigo hair and eyes. To long strands stuck up on the top of his head, like bug antenna. It was a month since he started school, and so far, nothing out of the ordinary happened. Everything was pretty normal... for the most part.

So imagine his surprise when he found a girl lying unconscious on the ground.

"H-huh?" Shinichi blinked. "Hey! Are you alright?!" Almost in a panic, he he dropped his bag and ran over to lift the girl to his side. His eyes slightly widened as he recognized the girl. "Wait... isn't this..."

Moka Akashiya was seen as the most beautiful first year in school, also at the age of 16. She had waist-length pink hair and a very pretty face. She had on a leather choker that had a silver cross hanging from it and beads connecting from the chain to the choker. She had a nice figure and was wearing the female version of the uniform he was wearing, along with black socks and polished black shoes. Shinichi couldn't believe it. In his arms he was holding one of the prettiest girls in school! His friend, Takeru Saotome, had a Top 15 list for the hottest girls in school and she was at the top!

He shook his head quickly. Now was not the time to admire the undoubtedly beautiful girl in his arms. She needed help! She needed a doctor!

"I hope the infirmary is still open!" he said to himself as he gently cradled the girl in his arms before lifting her up. She didn't regain consciousness so there was definitely something wrong with her.

He continued walking his way back to the school building, hoping the doctors hadn't checked out for the day. As he did, he heard her mumble something under her breath, "W-what is this...it smells...it smells like..."

"Huh?" Shinichi blinked and then she put her arms around him, causing him to blush. "Hey, wait a minute. What are you...?"

CHOMP!

"Chu~!"

Before he knew it, she had a pair of sharp fangs sinking into his neck!

"Ah! Teeth! Teeth! You're biting me! You're biting me!" he yelled in panic while still holding her in his arms. He didn't know what to do. He just stood there freaking out, his antenna hair squirming about, as she continued sucking on his neck. It was only a moment later before she released her mouth from his neck and jump out of his arms.

"Ah... that was refreshing," Moka smiled brightly, her emerald green eyes shining. She blinked as she noticed Shinichi gaping at her, and blushed as she realized what just happened, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"

"You..." he gasped. "You bit me!" He had heard of hickeys but that had just been too intense.

"Um... sorry," she said meekly, pressing her fingers together. "I was suffering from anemia because I didn't have much blood lately."

"Blood?" Shinichi blinked. "Wait, did you say 'didn't have much blood lately'?" What did she mean by that? She had bit him and now claimed she had anemia because she hadn't...wait. Wait, didn't that sound like she was a... "Are you a Vampire?"

"Yep!" Moka grinned toothily, revealing her fangs, "I'm living proof!"

"Wow," Shinichi blinked. A real vampire, and not one of those sparkly, emo kinds from that lame Twilight series. An honest for goodness...wait a second. "Am I gonna turn into one too since you bit me?"

"No, silly!" Moka laughed cutely, "It isn't that simple. The only way humans can turn into Vampires is if they're injected with Vampire blood."

"Oh," Shinichi nodded. That was good. He wasn't sure how he could take looking pale and undead. "Hey, should you really be telling me all this?"

"Well, I did bite you, so I owed you an explanation," Moka admitted. Her eyebrows rose as she recognized him, "Oh! You're Sanban-kun from next door, aren't you? The one that Biteru-sensei teaches, right?"

"You mean that creepy witch?" Shinichi questioned. "Yeah, that's the one." Biteru-sensei was a very strange teacher. She was void of any positive emotions, and had a full hatred for children and life in general. Why she became a teacher in the first place was anyone's guess. "Hey, aren't you afraid I might tell someone you're a Vampire?"

"I'm sure I can trust you," Moka smiled beautifully, making Shinichi's heart somehow flutter, "I mean, you have such a wonderful scent..." She put her hands to her cheeks, blushing.

"Yeah, that's a good reason," he mumbled.

"By the way, how can you believe that I'm a Vampire so easily?" she asked curiously.

"I've experienced a lot of weird shit," he told her honestly. "And there's my guardian..." he muttered. "Anyway, let's go. I'll walk you home."

"You will?"

"I found you unconscious. I don't want to have it on my conscience that I let you go home alone where you might pass out again," he said pragmatically. Besides, he had a feeling that there were guys who wouldn't resist the chance to take advantage of an unconscious beauty when the opportunity falls literally in front of them.

"Oh my!" Moka smiled, blushing, "That's really nice of you. Can I be your friend? I don't really know that many people..."

"A cute girl like you doesn't have friends?" he remarked in disbelief.

She nodded slowly, "Everyone thinks that I'm too good to be their friend. But I do want to have people to talk to, instead of a groupies always following me."

Shinichi couldn't help but feel sorry for her. She's really a nice girl, nothing like what the myths say about Vampires. It seems that she's really lonely at the top. "Yeah, I'll be your friend."

"Really?" Moka beamed, her eyes shining, "Can I call you Shinichi-kun then?"

"Only if I get to call you 'Moka-san'," he replied. While they had only just met, the bite pretty much brought down any walls or distance between them. Besides, he still wanted to get to know her.

"Really?" Moka squealed, "Yay!" she grabbed him in a tight hug, enveloping her arms around him. Shinichi only blushed as he slowly returned the hug.


Moka lived in the girls' dorm which was within walking distance of the school. He walked alongside her, accompanying the pink-haired girl. They didn't walk in silence. In fact, they had talked. He actually asked her questions about Vampires in general and the myths surrounding them.

They finally stopped in front of the main gate of the girls' dorm. This was as far as he could go, unfortunately. Boys weren't allowed on the property in the evening.

"Well, this is it," he said. "Home sweet dorm."

"Yeah, thanks for walking me home," Moka smiled. She leaned closer to him with a smile, "So, I guess I'll see you tomorrow?"

"If I run into you. We are in different classes after all," he informed her. "But how about we promise to meet during lunch?" He held up his pinkie.

"Okay, promise," Moka hooked her pinkie with his. Shinichi smiled as they made a pinkie swear. He then left her, waving at her before walking back home.


As for where Shinichi lived, it was a rather large mansion which had a spacious forest around it. The building itself looked western in design and was generally huge. It looked sort of like the place one would expect rich people to live. If someone lived in such a huge house, then they must be downright incredibly wealthy to be able to afford it. And someone did in fact live in it. There were rumours of a mad scientist who lived in the mansion, who had the power to literally revive the dead. Someone whose skills in medical science were unmatched throughout the world.

Unfortunately, he was out. For now, his daughter was the one watching the mansion.

Shinichi rode up to the mansion on his Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R sportsbike before coming to a stop. He hadn't used his bike to give Moka a ride home as the dorm was within walking distance. That meant he had to walk all the way back to school to retrieve it. He parked his bike in front of the steps. Walking to the front door of the huge building of a huge building, unlocked the door and walked inside.

"I'm home!" Shinichi called out, entering the rather Spartan mansion. Very little decoration was anywhere beyond a rug or two with some tables here or there. He removed his sneakers and replaced them with slippers.

"Yo, welcome back," a voice said. Sitting on one of the couches was a man named Okita. He was a rather handsome fellow with strongly defined male features on his face and stylish brown hair. His face was made for the magazines. However, the rest of him was the body of a cat. Shinichi had long gotten used to the odd looking guy... or cat... or whatever he was.

"Okita-san, is Fran-san home?" Shinichi asked.

"She's working as usual," Okita replied.

"I guess I should get started on dinner then," Shinichi replied.

"So, did anything interesting happen in school today?" Okita asked.

Shinichi wanted to mention that he had met a real Vampire today and had gotten bitten but he decided not to. Moka trusted him with her secret and she no doubt didn't want anyone else to know. She had only blurted it out to him because she had been caught up in the moment.

"Same old, but I made a new friend," he told the man-headed-cat, the two of them walking to the kitchen. "And she's really cute."

"Oh, so it's a girl huh?" Okita smiled playfully. "She got a name?"

"Yeah. It's Moka Akashiya. She's one of the most popular girls in school," Shinichi said.

"And how did this come about?"

"I found her unconscious on the sidewalk and brought her to the nurses office," Shinichi half-lied. "I even walked her to her dorm."

"Already walking girls home?" Okita whistled, "Not bad. You know, Fran is gonna wanna meet this girl. I'm sure she'll be happy for you."

Shinichi shuddered slightly, "Maybe..." Fran was a very nice girl. She took him in when he had no place to go after all. What worried Shinichi is what she would do with the knowledge of the biology of Vampires. Over the weeks he stayed with her, he had seen plenty of her operations, and not many of them turned out right. Giving a boy the body of a girl, and a girl of a body of a boy, just so that said girl could get over a childhood fear of men was one of the reasons why he was so reluctant.

He often wondered if Fran just had a morbid sense of humor, or she simply didn't realize that she was just making things worse for her clients. Half the time, he wasn't even sure if she intended to help them in the first place or just wanted test subjects.

As Shinichi started on dinner, he considered telling Fran about the dream. Maybe she would have an answer for it. Right now though, if she was working, it was best not to disturb her. He did not want to see something that might make him lies his appetite. No matter how many times she saw her at work he could never get used to his caretaker's occupation.


"Feast your eyes, dude!" Takeru fanned out a set of sexy photographs. "Pictures of the entire Swim Team during practice! Enough to make two calendars!" It was the next day and Shinichi had just arrived to school when Takeru suddenly popped up to show off his latest acquisition.

Takeru was an average teen who had a permanent tan since he originally came from Okinawa. His hair was cut short and he wore an earring. Like Shinichi he wore the school uniform, just untucked and without the tie. He was someone who always had something to say about women, whether they be positive or negative. This caused most of the girls in school to look at him as some sort of creep.

"How did you convince them to pose?" Shinichi questioned.

"I just told them I was part of the Yearbook committee!"

"But you're not."

"Hey, they don't need to know that."

"Better put those away before Saji sees," Shinichi warned.

"That army brat of a class rep of ours? I'd like to see him try to do something!" Takeru declared boldly.

"Well don't say I didn't warn you, buddy," Shinichi remarked.

"So, how about you man?" Takeru asked, "Word on the street is that you and that Akashiya girl hit it off yesterday."

"Eh? Really?" Shinichi blinked. How had he found out?

"Dude, I've got ears for that sort of thing," Takeru replied. "She's like, the hottest girl in school, by first year standards at least. Her silky smooth bubblegum hair, crystal clear eyes... her beauty is on a supernatural level! They say she rivals Kiko Kirishima, a second year who's part Italian! Just about everyone feels that she's out of their league, yet you're the first one to actually talk to her!"

"Lemme guess," Shinichi started with his arms folded. "Someone saw me walk Moka-san home and told you."

Takeru whistled, "Already on first name basis with her too. You work fast!"

Shinichi rolled his eyes. "I am so not going to have this conversation with you. Now come on before Biteru-sensei gives us detention, or worse."

"I really wonder whose idea was it to put us in that old ghoul's class," Takeru shivered. His hair on the back of his neck stood on ends as goosebumps filled his skin.

"I'd like to know why she became a teacher in the first place," Shinichi sighed, rubbing his shoulder.

"One of the great mysteries of life, pal," Takeru shrugged. As the two teenaged boys walked to class, there was sounds of commotion. People around them were going "Ah! It's Moka-sama!" and "Damn, she's hot!"

Both Shinichi and Takeru spotted Moka walking into the school territory, her steps looking like graceful springs. She didn't seem to make any reaction as all the boys made howling noises and the girls all oggled her in admiration. "Bow chicka bow-wow!" Takeru grinned, "Right on time!"

Shinichi resisted the urge to roll his eyes at Takeru's comment when all of a sudden Moka spotted him and put on a beaming smile.

"Shinichi-kun!" Moka called as she ran up to him to greet him, "Good morning!"

"Good morning to you too," Shinichi smiled, waving slightly. It wasn't long before both Shinichi and Moka started talking, while Takeru was give a thumbs-up behind his friend for score such a hot girl. Although, while Takeru seemed to be amused, no one else seemed to like how the unknown kid was become chummy with Moka.

"Hey! Who's the new kid?! Why did Moka-san greet him?!" One boy demanded.

"That trash! He gonna defile Moka-san! Scram!" a girl shouted.

"Go to hell! Like, right now!"

"Dude, I think there's going to be a riot if we don't head into class ASAP," Takeru said to his friend.

"Right," Shinichi agreed, already worried about the threats he was hearing. Some of them started reaching for weapons. Just then a sleek, black car drove into the school grounds. It looked like something only the rich could afford and everyone knew whose car it was.

"Oh, it's him!" Moka grimaced.

The driver stepped out of the car and opened the back door, allowing a tall young man to exit to vehicle and enter the grounds. He had a handsome face with smooth blond hair, and his uniform appeared to be neatly pressed. He ran his hand through his hair, concededly, and smiled as he spotted Moka. "Ah, Moka Akashiya-san, how lucky of me to catch up with you so early today."

"Um, Kaichou..." Moka greeted back, halfheartedly.

"Shit! It's the president! The Student Council President showed up!" one of the boys hissed.

"Damn that president! He's always trying to get all the hot girls in school for himself!" another boy exclaimed.

"He thinks he can get away with it because his family helps fund the school! Hell, he's only even here because of his father!" yet another boy booed.

The president simply huffed, ignoring the complaints of his fellow schoolmates as he strode confidently to Moka. "There's no need for you to be speaking to some low-level trash like him." Shinichi let out a low growl, but the president ignored him. "Have you thought about the reply to the letter I sent you?"

"Um..." Moka began, fidgeting. There's one drawback to being the most desired girl in school, and that was just about almost every boy slipped her love letters through her locker. Even a few girls had sent her letters, of some of the handwriting were correct. Among those letters were the president's, and he was among the more persistent ones. He simply didn't take no for an answer.

"I'm the kind of man who'll do anything to get his hands on beautiful things," the president said suavely, as he looped his arm around her waist. Moka shrieked in surprise as she felt her butt getting squeezed. This cause both boys and girls to gawk and cry out in outrage. "Only a woman of beauty can compare to the wealth and power that I have! Be my woman!"

Now Shinichi was becoming beyond pissed. This guy was notorious for being a womanizer and something of a misogynist. He was so delusional that he believes that just about every girl in school was head over heels in love with him. Maybe all that money he has went up his brain and turned it into mush. Just as he was about to step in to give the president a piece of his mind, Moka suddenly shoved him back.

"I'm sorry, but..." Moka stammered, "This is a nuisance!" The president's jaw dropped, Moka's words echoing in his mind almost like he were falling into an abyss, as the girl grabbed Shinichi and ran away from the scene.

Silence befell the school, the only form of sound being the whistles, of the wind until...

"BWA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!"

"Oh man! How lame!"

"She called you a nuisance! She flat out dumped you again!"

"Yeah! Suck on that!"

Everyone laughed and jeered at the once again rejected student council president, calling him names and making fun at yet another rejection. Seeing someone so stuck up and so arrogant was always very enjoyable to see. It reminded everyone that wealth and power can't get you everything.

But sometimes, people who do have wealth and power will do just about anything to get what they want.

"Hmph. How dare these lowlives laugh at someone at my stature," the president sneered softly under his breath. "Do they not realize that my old man can have this school shut down at anytime?" He snapped his fingers, and in an instant, the large, hulk driver appeared to his side. Everyone stopped laughing once they caught sight of the intimidating man. "Teach them a lesson," the president ordered.

"Understood," the driver grinned, cracking his knuckles as he leered at the terrified students.

"Oh shit! Run away!" another one of the boys shouted as he and the others ran away from the giant.

"Where you running off to, little shits!" the driver laughed, casually walking towards the retreating boys, throwing several jabs in the air.

"Maybe we should head to class, Moka-san," Shinichi suggested, not wanting any sort of trouble. "We can talk later at lunch."

"Right," Moka agreed as she turned to enter the building with Shinichi. The president watched them go as he glared at Shinichi's back.

"Damn that brat..."


"Dude, I don't know either to pity you or congratulate you," Takeru said as he and Shinichi went to class together. On their way, several students who passed them either gave Shinichi a glare or curious looks of wonder.

"Takeru, please, I just want to go through today without any trouble," Shinichi replied as they both entered. They then heard the click of a stop watch.

"Good time, you too," reported Saji Hullum. He was about a foot taller than Shinichi and Takeru with broad shoulders and a build that came from working out. His short, brown hair was in a crew cut and he had a stern expression. He also had a shinai gripped in his hand, rested up against his shoulder. On his upper left arm was an armband that read "Iinchou".

"Oh, hey Saji-san," Shinichi greeted. Saji whacked him upside the head with a shinai. "Ow!"

"During school hours call me 'Iinchou'!"

"Alright, alright, Iinchou!" Shinichi cringed, nursing his head.

"That's better. Now get to your seats before I whack you again," Saji warned.

"Hai, hai," Shinichi sighed.

"Hey, Iinchou-dude, are we still on for Halo Night at your place?" Takeru asked.

"Yeah, you know it," Saji grinned, his Southern American accent as thick as ever, "Been waitin' a whole week for it too! I'm gonna enjoy shooting me some noobs!"

"And climbing that leader board!"

"I could do without the swearing," muttered Shinichi.

A cold chill suddenly blew into the classroom as all the lights went out. The students shivered. When the lights came back on, Biteru-sensei stood behind the teacher's podium in all her menacing glory. She was a tall, slender old woman with gray hair put in a bun and clouded glasses. Her face was long, wrinkled, and stern and she was dressed in all black. The sight of her chilled everyone to the bone and many went stiff as she gave everyone a critical glare.

"Why isn't everyone in their seats, Iinchou?" she demanded as she gave Saji a bone-chilling look.

"Uh-well..." Saji gulped, "The school bell hasn't rung yet so usually we just-"

DING-DONG-DING-DONG

Biteru-sensei arched an eyebrow, "Well, it appears that class has begun. I suggest that all of you should take your seats before I plunge you into a nightmare world from which there is no awakening!" No one had any room to complain as they all relocated back to their seats. "Good. Today's lecture is about outer space and how it will eventually implode in on itself!" she continued in a raspy growl. "But first it's time for me to mark your attendance."

After taking the students' attendance, Biteru-sensei started her lecture. She was not the most loved teacher. She was terrifying and her lectures always left her students depressed. It was like she was sapping their happiness out of them each time. Not exactly the best way to start the day.

"So in conclusion," Biteru-sensei said, finishing her lecture, "The universe is just doomed. Doom. Doom. Dooooooooooooooooom...!" she stretched out the word like taffy as a cockroach crawled up her face. Shinichi had been in this class for a month and he still hadn't gotten used to Biteru-sensei. He doubt he ever would. "Now get ouy of my sight!" she suddenly shouted as the bell signifying the end of first period rang. The next class was PE and the students were only happy to comply.


Shinichi and his classmates were out on the field and were going to be running laps. Takeru, of course, was busy admiring the girls. The standard uniform was a white t-shirt for both genders. What differed was that the boys wore blue shorts while the girls wore bloomers which fully displayed their legs.

"This is my favorite class," Takeru grinned at Shinichi as he and Saji sat on the sidelines while the others ran laps.

"Of course it is," Shinichi remarked as he leaned back on his hands. The grass was nice and soft. He then spotted across from them another class was also having PE. It was Moka's class and the girls were playing softball while the boys were doing high jumps. "Ah, there's Moka-san."

Takeru followed Shinichi's gaze and grinned. "Good taste, man. Too bad she's way out of your league."

Shinichi frowned in offense, "She's just a friend."

"Keep telling yourself that because nobody else seems to think so," Takeru remarked.

"Hey, cut your yappin'," ordered Saji. "You guys are up next."

With Moka's class, the pinkette herself was up to bat. The pitcher winded the ball and threw a fastball. Moka reared the bat and sung hard.

CRACK!

The hit was tried and true as the ball flew through air. However, it went also went out of the field.

"Foul!" one of the girls shouted.

But the ball didn't stop there.

SMASH!

It went through one of the windows, shattering the glass completely. Everyone, even the students from the other classes, stopped what they were doing at the sound of glass being broken into shards.

"Uh..." Moka paled, realized what just happened. "I'm... I'm so sorry!" she dropped her bat and quickly ran away from from the field, embarrassed.

"Hey, Moka-san!" Shinichi called over, but she was already out of earshot. He turned to Saji, "Sorry Iinchou, you need to see what's wrong." With a bow, he ran after Moka.

"Geez, he's got it bad for her," Takeru muzed.

"Yep, and I think it goes both ways," Saji sighed, folding his arms behind his head. "She used to be a lot colder before. Guess the guy managed to break her out of that thick shell of hers."

"He's a lucky son of a bitch and he doesn't even know it," Takeru added, shaking his head. "When's my time gonna come? When am I gonna find a hot chick sleeping on the sidewalk?"

"Maybe when pigs fly an Hell freezes over," Saji quipped.

Takeru glared, "You know what? I fucking hate you."

"Yeah, take a number buddy," Saji laughed. A shadow suddenly loomed over them them, causing them to freeze in place. Slowly turning around, their stomachs dropped at the sight. It was a hulking muscle bound man in a white muscle shirt and dark hair in a buzz cut. Several glass shards stuck on his body, causing blood to squirt out here and there.

"Yo, you punks know who broke the window?" the man grinned menacingly.

"Ah, Higuma-sensei..." Takeru shivered.

"Well? Any of you got something to say?" Higuma-sensei glared, leering down at them.

"We'll..." Saji smiled meekly, "Get back to you on that." He grabbed Takeru and ran off in a storm of dust.

"Hey! I'm don't done with you! Get back here!" Higuma-sensei roared as he chased after the two boys. The other students all scattered off at the sight of the intimidating teacher. "Smiling" Higuma was one of the other teachers that no one wanted to get on the bad side with.


"Ugh... I really shouldn't have batted," Moka sighed dejectedly. Shinichi caught up with her sitting on one of the school benches.

"Because of how the ball flew into the window?" Shinichi asked. "Don't worry too much about it. It's not like you're the first one to do it. Plenty of batters broke windows by accident before you."

"So you say..." Moka smiled softly. "I don't like this school too much. It has so many different scents."

"Scents?" Shinichi blinked.

Moka nodded. "Yeah. I can tell what kind of person someone is by their scent. Do you remember the Student Council President from this morning? He was giving off an unpleasant scent."

"So you already knew he was a jerk from the get-go," Shinichi confirmed.

"But you," Moka continued, "You have a very sweet scent. That's why I was able to trust you with my secret."

"Really?" Shinichi smiled.

"Um-hm," Moka smiled back. "I'm really glad that we're friends."

Shinichi blushed, rubbing the back of his head. "It's almost hard to believe that you're a Vampire. You look just like everyone else."

"Oh, that's because of this seal," Moka said, pointing at the cross hanging from her choker. "If it gets taken off, I turn into a REALLY SCARY vampire," she said dramatically with her hands raised like claws.

"You... don't say..." Shinichi blinked.

"So, if the seal gets removed, promise me that you'll stop my other self from going on a rampage, ok?" Moka requested.

"I promise," Shinichi nodded. "After all, we all have a side of ourselves we keep secret from other people."

"Thank you, Shinichi-kun," Moka looped her arms around him and brought herself closer. Shinichi blushed in response, "You're definitely the kind of person I thought you would be. You're so warm and kind..."

"Uh... Moka-san?" Shinichi blushed harder as Moka's face came closer to his. Their lips drew ever so near. Shinichi was expecting that she suddenly wanted to kiss him... but it wasn't the kiss he was expecting.

"Chu~!"

Well, she did need blood.


Eventually lunch break came, allowing Shinichi to finally spend sometime with the pink-haired girl. As they did, they became closer and he learned more and more about her unusual mannerisms. For some reason, she was able to talk to bats, fruit bats in particular. She also absolutely hated garlic, which he learned after clearing away his dumplings which happened to have garlic added inside. Maybe they were other attributes of Vampires? Who knows. He also learned that she drink tomato juice as a substitute for blood.

"Looks like class is gonna start soon," Shinichi said, packing away his things.

"Yeah," Moka nodded, doing the same. "So, can I see you later?"

"As always," Shinichi nodded. "I can even introduce you to Saji and Takeru. Despite what some people say about them, they're both good people."

"I pretty much was already able to tell that," Moka pointed out to him.

"Oh, right. Their scent," Shinichi realized.

Moka giggled softly. "Um... Shinichi-kun?"

"What's up?" he asked.

"Sorry, but can I have a quick sip of your blood?"

"Eh?" Shinichi blinked. Before he could react, Moka dove into his neck and sank her fangs into his flesh.

"Chu~!"

"But you already had a taste of me today!"

They weren't alone though. From behind the trees, someone watched as it looked like Moka was kissing Shinichi's neck from his point of view. At first, it looked as though Shinichi was protesting, but he slowly melted on her arms, giving in.

"Now she's kissing his neck?!" the Student Council President hissed lowly, grinding his teeth. He had been stalking them since the start of lunch period, and so far things weren't looking good for him. He really hadn't taken Moka's rejection very well. "Damn that kid! Who does he think he is, getting so close to Moka!" His eyes pupils shark in a crazed fashion as he balled his fists. "I'll kill him! I'll kill him and make an example of him to anyone else who thinks they're top dog! Moka Akashiya is mine and mine alone!"

"And you'll be signing your own death warrant if you try," a new voice suddenly spoke up.

"Huh?" the president looked up, but then he almost screamed in fear. "Waugh!"

Out of nowhere, a man suddenly appeared before him. He was tall with tanned skin and cold blue eyes. He had silver hair that was slicked up like spikes. He wore a dark overcoat with black gloves and boots. He towered over the president as he backpedaled into the tree.

"Wh-wh-what do you want with me?!" the president sputtered.

"Relax boy," the man said coolly. "I haven't come here to harm you. It's quite the opposite really. I'm here to help you."

"Help me?" the president repeated.

"Yes," the man nodded. "You're cursing the boy for being close to the girl you desire, but he is actually far stronger than you could ever hope to be."

"What?" the president frowned. "How can that be? He's a wimp! Just look at him!"

"Then you don't know the situation you're getting yourself into," he sighed. "Regardless, here." Clenching his hand, there was a spark of black and purple. He then lowered his fist to the president, making the man flinch again fearing he was going to be attacked. The Man in Black then opened his hand, revealing a black computer chip with tendril-like wires writhing about.

"Wh-what is that?" the president gasped.

"The key to your victory," the man explained. "If you should ever find yourself in danger, use it without hesitation. But be warned, there is always a price for power."

The president didn't really know what the strange man went, nor did he really care. Looking at the chip offered to him, he snatched it up. Nodding, the Man in Black didn't say another word as he turned his back and exited the woods. The president watched the man vanished from his sight before he looked at the chip in his hand...

...and smiled.


"Alright! Halo Night!" Takeru cheered whilst pumping his fists into the air as he, Shinichi, and Saji walked out of the school doors. "Time to get amped!"

"Oh, yeah! I'm gonna enjoy shootin' up some dirty blues!" Saji agreed, grinning as he punched his fist into his palm.

"You guys have the most sadistic..." Shinichi sighed, before cutting himself off, "Oh who am I kidding? Fuck yeah this is gonna be off the hook!" he grinned. "You got all the stuff ready for tonight?"

"You bet!" Saji nodded. "Got all the drinks and food stuff ready! We're gonna get it on like Donkey Kong!"

"Sweet!" Takeru grinned, "So what are we waiting for dudes? Let's get cracking!"

"Hold on just a minute boys!" a loud voice interrupted. The teens sudden flinched and turned around, spoting Higuma-sensei stomping towards them, a shinai over his shoulder. "Is Shinichi Sanban with you?"

"That would be me," Shinichi answered, despite his friends' protests. His eyebrows furrowed as his antenna hair wobbled. Whenever his hair moved on it's own, it normally meant that there was danger close by. The way Higuma-sensei pointed at him only signified it.

"I heard that you were the one who broke the window during your PE class," the teacher accused. Shinichi widened his eyes in surprise. "Walk with me for a bit. We're gonna have a talk about that."

"Hang on a minute!" Takeru excalmed, "Shinichi wasn't the one who-"

"Can it shrimp! You're already on my shitlist!" Higuma-sensei boomed, causing him to shut up.

"Don't worry guys," Shinichi assured his friends, "I'll settle this myself. You go on right ahead."

"You sure you don't need backup?" Saji questioned worriedly.

"Relax, guys. What's the worst that could happen?" he complied.

'Heh. You got no idea kid,' Higuma-sensei thought menacingly.


The man that the president saw before walked through the school hallways, conveniently where no one was around to spot him. "So, this is where he's been going. This is quite the school," he muttered to himself. Turning to his left, he spotted a broadcast room. Smiling, he entered the room and looked around, admiring the machines. Looking at a monitor, he spotted Shinichi being lead through the hallways by Higuma-sensei. "Right on time..." the man smirked.


"Get in! Now!" Higuma-sensei barked, shoving Shinichi into the the AV room.

"Hey, watch it!" Shinichi snapped as the door was closed behind them. "What's this all... holy hell?!" he exclaimed, his eyes widening at what he saw in front of him.

His reason for his outburst. Simple. Right before him were several third year students holding Moka by her arms, like a hostage. Her school coat was removed, indicating that they tried to get through her shirt. In front of them was the president, looking at Shinichi with a sneer. "Shinichi-kun! Help!" Moka pleaded.

"How nice of you to join us, Shinichi Sanban," the president greeted, bowing mockingly. "You're a filthy insect who swarms around my Moka. It's time I exterminated you."

"What? Sorry you're still peeved over the rejection from this morning? Get a life man!" Shinichi shouted. He turned to Higuma-sensei, "And wasn't this about the broken glass window?!"

"Heh," Higuma-sensei sneered before slamming his shinai against Shinichi's face. Shinichi let out a cough as his glasses went flying off from his face and tumbled across the floor. Moka gasped at the sudden brutality from the teacher.

"Hahahaha!" the president cackled madly, "You idiot! You walked in without a clue! Higuma-sensei here is working as my bodyguard under the orders of my old man!" He noticed Shinichi's glasses on the floor and grinned. Paying no mind to the recovering first year, he walked towards the spectacles and crushed them under his feet.

Shinichi gapped in an instant, "My glasses! You son of a bitch!"

"Moka belongs to me, and me alone!" the president proclaimed bodaciously, grinding his heel under the crush glasses... and relishing the look of outrage on Shinichi's face. "And anyone who goes near her will die." He snapped his fingers, signaling Higuma to go all out. The teacher laughed loudly as he swung his shinai down at Shinichi's head, planning on beating the poor kid black and blue.

And then he caught it in his hand.

"What the?" Higuma-sensei gasped. Shinichi's head snapped up, revealing a pair of red, angry eyes. Before Higuma-sensei knew it, a fist smashed into his face, sending him crashing against the chairs.

"Shinichi-kun?" Moka gasped.

"The hell?!" the president exclaimed.


The man leisurely placed on a set of headphones and tinkered with the broadcast controls. "Well, I guess it's time remove any traces of witnesses. Thing are about to very... chaotic." He pressed the play button, causing a loud note to sound throughout all the speakers in the school. The note seemed to have a hypnotic effect on everyone left in school, both staff and students. Their eyes glazed over as they dropped whatever they were doing and shuffled out of the school, like zombies. The man gave no emotion as he folded his hands. "The AV room should be soundproof, keeping the occupants from hearing the hypnotic noise. All that remains now is to wait and see what happens next."


"Wh... what the hell is this?!" the president stammered, staggering back, "What's going on?!"

Shinichi ran his hands through his hair, causing it to slick into spikes. His still glowing eyes narrowed at the cowardly Kaichou. "You made two mistakes," he said angrily. "First, you tried to force yourself on Moka when you couldn't woo her. And then, you had to break my glasses. I liked those glasses." He went over to the recovering Higuma-sensei and grabbed him by the arm. He pulled the man towards him and kneed him hard in the stomach, the force of the blow causing the man to double over before he went flying and crashed into the nearest wall. Shinichi removed his tie and dropped it to the floor before he took out a pair of leather gloves and slipped them on.

"Now, you have the count of three to let Moka-san go. If you don't then I can't be held responsible for what will happen to you, Kaichou," Shinichi warned/demanded.

Moka gaped at Shinichi's complete change in personality. His eyes were no longer warm but cold and the president was frozen by the harsh glare he was receiving. He then looked at his third year lackeys.

"What are you idiots waiting for!? Get him!" he ordered. The third years did as told and attacked Shinichi, all except for one who was still holding Moka in place so she couldn't run away.

"One," Shinichi started to count as he adopted a boxing stance. The first assailant received a brutal uppercut that broke his jaw and sent him flying up into the ceiling. As he hung in midair for a moment, Shinichi spun on his left heel and then kicked with his right leg, sending the student flying and crashing against his buddies, knocking them to the floor.

"2," Shinichi continued to count. The third years pushed their unconscious comrade off them and tried to rush Shinichi, flanking him. He slipped into the stance of Drunken Boxing. He swerved back and forth from the incoming punches like a drunken fool, dropping back first onto the floor to avoid a kick and then leaping feet first into second third year. He bounced upward and sent his heel crashing into his skull. He crashed onto the floor, knocked out.

"2 and a half," the last third year clearly realized that he was screwed as he stumbled backwards as Shinichi advanced. He sent a kick to the chest, causing the the poor sap to fly into the wall, causing cracks to appear as he collapsed into a heap. "Time's up!"

"You! Do you have any idea who I am!?" the president screamed hysterically.

"A self-entitled idiot," Shinichi told him. Gritting his teeth, the president took out a switchblade and held it threateningly against Moka's throat.

"Stay back! Or I'll cut her up!" he shouted.

"You wouldn't dare," Shinichi glared.

"Heh. You brought this on yourself," the president grinned manically. "Now here's the deal, I'm going to walk out of her with Moka without any interference from you, otherwise the floors will get messy with her blood. Understand?" Apparently, Moka did not like the proposal so she automatically broke loose from the last third year and grabbed the president's hand, biting down hard. The president screamed out in pain, dropping the switchblade. Immediately, she she joined Shinichi at his side.

"Moka!" Shinichi said, the red glow in his eyes disappearing, "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine, but the Kaichou had an awful taste," Moka reply, coughing in disgust.

The president hissed as he nursed his hand, snarling as he saw his blood spilling out from very a noticeable bite wound. "You BITCH! I'LL KILL YOU!" he roared. Grabbing the knife with his good hand, he lunged at the pair.

"Moka! Get back!" Shinichi shouted, pushing her away as he grabbed the president's wrist. As he did his fingers hooked around the cross Moka wore, causing it to...

SNAP!

"Huh?" Shinichi blinked, looking at the the rosary in his fingers after he knocked the president back, "Oh crap! Sorry Moka!" He turned to return it to her, only to find to his surprise that a black and red aura was slowly fading into view around her.

"You... broke my... seal...?" Moka managed to say before her eyes began to dull. He then remembered what she'd told him earlier:

"Oh, that's because of this seal," Moka said, pointing at the cross hanging from her choker. "If it gets taken off, I turn into a REALLY SCARY vampire," she said dramatically with her hands raised like claws.

"Oh crap..." Shinichi gulped for the second time.

The president and his remaining lakey suddenly froze as they too felt the intense supernatural energy swelling up from Moka. "What's going on!" the president yelled, suddenly frightened by the massive wave of power. "What the hell is she?!"

The atmosphere in the AV room suddenly turned dark and thick as black swarming bats flew out of nowhere and merged with Moka's form. When all the bats merged with her, the was a massive shockwave of demonic energy, causing the boys to shield themselves before it all died down. Her hair began to turn silver. She grew a few inches until she stood a few inches taller. Her already ample chest swelled until it snapped one of the buttons off her shirt. Her nails sharpened, making her hands look more mature and giving them the appearance that they could cut through almost anything. Then, she smiled. It looked beautiful, seductive, confident, wicked, and terrifying all at the same time. When she smiled her already sharp canines had lengthened to even deadlier fangs. Then she opened her eyes. As they focused, they could see that they had turned crimson with black cat-like slits.

Shinichi could only stare at Moka after her transformation. She looked radically different, almost like a different person. She looked… more sensual, than before. She exuded a kind of sexuality that would make men drop to their knees, but he could feel the danger which was underneath it. This girl was dangerous!

"Wh... what are you?!" the president demanded, his willpower suddenly draining.

"Moka" said nothing as she suddenly vanished from sight. There was a loud, blood curdling scream, causing Shinichi and the president to turn around. The monstrous girl was holding the last third year over her head with nothing but her fingers. Carelessly, she dropped the boy to the side, his blood coating her fingers.

"Oh... crap..." Shinichi uttered for the third time in a row.

"Hm," Inner Moka purred, lapping the blood from her fingers. "What's the matter, Kaichou? You wanted me, didn't you? Well, come and get me."

"You..." the president growled, lunging forward with the adrenaline fueled him. "YOU'RE DEAD!" Inner Moka snapped her leg up quickly, effectively kicking the president square in the jaw. He crashed against the wall, causing a huge crater to appear as he impacted right through.

Inner Moka lowered her leg as she snorted, "You're lucky that I only used a 1/8th of my full power, otherwise your bones would be dust by now. You should know your place, feeble human!"

"M... Moka-san?" Shinichi stuttered. "Is that you?"

"It's always been me," she answered, turning to Shinichi. "Just sit back while I take care of this trash. I have some words for you myself." She turned back to the stumbling president and cracked her knuckles as she strode towards him.

"She... she's going to kill me..." he whimpered as the Vampire's shadow lomed over him. At that moment of terror, he remember one trump card that was given to him by the strange man.


"If you should ever find yourself in danger, use it without hesitation. But be warned, there is always a price for power."


"Of course, I can use that," the president reached into his pocket and pulled out the black computer chip. As if responding into his time of need, the tendril-like wires dug into his flesh, causing him to scream out. Inner Moka's eyes widened a fraction of an inch as the tridels shot out and started to engulf him into a cocoon, his screams being cut off. Shinichi's eyes widened in shock and outrage as he recognized what was going on.

"Moka-san!" he shouted, "Get away from there!"

"What?" she demanded, turning to him.

"Just do it! He's getting dangerous!"

Inner Moka didn't seem to be in any condition to complain as she witnessed the cocoon growing in size. Deciding to take his advice for once, she jumped to his side as both teens watched the cocoon continue to grow. Just as the cocoon reached the almost touched the ceiling, the wires dropped to the ground and evaporated. Standing in the place of the president, was a large hulking reptile creature. It had yellow scaly skin with segmented spikes covering its body. It had smaller spikes on its fists and two larger ones on its shoulders. The head resembled that of a recognizable prehistoric monster with three horns on the face. Its red eyes glowed with total maliciousness.

(Insert song - Attacking The Impending Enemy - Guyver: The Bioboosted Armor)

"A Freak," Shinichi identified, "A Triceratops Freak."

"You recognize this monster?" Inner Moka asked.

"You can say that I've seen these things a few times over," Shinichi replied. His annetenna hair wobbled, indicating danger, "WATCH OUT!" The Triceratops Freak breathed out a toxic gas, forcing both Shinichi and Inner Moka to jump out of the way. The gas which had made contact with the ceiling and wall began to eat through the material. Shinichi frowned as he eyed the monster.

"Looks like I have no choice but to use that," Shinichi said. A sphere of light shone on his stomach and all of a sudden a metal belt appeared wrapped around his waist. Inner Moka blinked at the sight of the belt. It had a metal strap and the buckle resembled a box with a round window in front and a slot at the top. The sides of the belt also sported metal pads. Shinichi then reached into his jacket and pulled out a computer chip which resembled the one the president had used to mutate himself into that thing. However, this chip lacked the writhing wires and appeared more refined. There was a red XIII imprinted on the chip, which was the Roman numeral for 13.

"Change Chip! Slot In!" Shinichi called as he inserted the chip into the slot on the belt buckle. The window flashed.

"Stand By! OK?" the belt called in a digitized voice.

"Hen..." Shinichi began as he waved his arms around in a circle before slamming his palms to the pads on the sides of his belt. "...Shin!"

"Change! OK!"

Shinichi spread his arms to the side as a cocoon of light surrounded him. Inside of the cocoon, a grid pattern covered his entire body before being filled in. His clothes were replaced by a midnight blue bodysuit with black gloves and boots. Then, silver armor plates appeared and attached to his forearms and shins. His torso didn't remain bare of armor for long as particles converged on him and formed a sleek yet sturdy black 'vest' which had a silver chestpiece that was modeled to resemble a muscular chest and abdomen. Extending from his shoulders was a pair of broad and sharp pauldrons. Finally, his helmet formed. It appeared simple at first before a pair of yellow compound eyes flashed on the faceplate. The faceplate's mouth area was covered as well with a metal strip going down the centre and had horizontal stripes. Finally, a pair of horns extended from the eyes and pointed up to finish the change.

The cocoon of light erupted and standing in Shinichi's place was...

"Complete: Dusk!" the belt announced.

Inner Moka gave "Shinichi" a once over and questioned, "What are you, Shinichi Sanban?"

Shinichi answered, looking at her with his yellow compound eyes, "Not sure. I really don't know, but right now my name is Dusk."

The Triceratops Freak, sensing that Dusk was the enemy, let out a ferocious bellow and charged at him. Dusk stood his ground as the Triceratops Freak slammed into him and crashed through the wall, leaving a gaping hole. Inner Moka, not used to being on the sidelines in the middle of the action decided to pursue.

Meanwhile, Dusk was holding onto the Freak's horns as he was being dragged along for the ride in the hallway. The Freak tried to shake the armored teen off but Dusk was not about to let go. The Triceratops Freak turned and then smashed through another wall which led to outside. However, they were also on the second floor so the two went falling and crashing to the ground.

Dusk rolled away from the Triceratops Freak and got back to his feet as the Freak picked itself up. Roaring, the Triceratops Freak lunged forward to smash its fist into Dusk only for Dusk to leap into the arm and land on its arm. The Triceratops Freak gaped and received several kicks in the face before Dusk leapt off and used a drop kick to knock it to the ground once more. Growling, the Triceratops Freak stood up on all fours and the horns began to glow.

"Shit," Dusk cursed before he could get out of the way in time. The horns shot bolts of energy that hit Dusk and he screamed as he was being electrocuted. The attack ceased and Dusk was stunned. The Triceratops Freak took this chance and shoulder-tackled Dusk violently, sending him tumbling along the ground. The Triceratops Freak then leapt upon Dusk and started stomping on him. Suddenly, a slender leg slammed into the Triceratop Freak's head and sent him flying off Dusk.

Dusk groaned. The impacts had formed a crater around him. Looking up, he saw Inner Moka looking down at him.

"Your transformation was impressive but you have disappointed me," she told him bluntly.

"Don't... underestimate me," Dusk grunted as he forced himself back to his feet. He took out another chip and slipped it into his belt buckle.

"Pincers On! OK!"

The pauldrons mounted on his shoulders detached and flew up before combining to form a weapon resembling a crab's claw. Dusk raised his left arm and the claw came down to slide over his forearm. Dusk clicked the pincer and glared at the Triceratops Freak as it was getting up. "Eat this!" He aimed the pincer claws and fired a burst of energy that slammed into the Freak, knocking it back. Growling, the Triceratops Freak attempted its toxic gas attack again only for Dusk to fire again. The energy attack and gas met resulting in a violent explosion that sent the Triceratops Freak flying.

"Now, to finish this!" Dusk declared as he slotted one last chip.

"Charging Overdrive! OK!"

The pincer claw began to shine as Dusk bent his knees. He then leapt into the air and spun in the air before dropping down at the Triceratops Freak. The claw was pointed forward as he spun, faster and faster, like a drill before he collided with the Triceratops Freak. Sparks flew as Dusk continued to spin before he pushed off his target and landed on his feet, kicking up dust.

The Triceratops Freak's body began to twitch and convulse erratically as electricity arched along its body, like it was short-circuiting. With one final roar the Freak collapsed backwards and exploded. Once the fire and smoke cleared, what remained of the Freak was a badly injured Student Council President. However, he now looked like nothing but skin and bones.

(End song)

Inner Moka jogged up to Dusk and saw the president. With an eyebrow arched she asked, "What happened to him?"

"The price of using a Freak Chip," Dusk said as he saw the Freak Chip fall off the president's body and turn into black dust.

"Good, now let me finish him off," said Inner Moka sadistically as she reached for the defeated president only for Dusk to grab hold of her wrist.

"No," he denied her. "This isn't you," he shook her head. "What happened to you, Moka-san? The girl I met couldn't have been this cruel."

"Don't touch me!" Inner Moka shot back, snapping her wrist away from him. "As for your question, I am the real Moka Akashiya. The girl you are familiar with is merely my softer side, a result from the seal to keep my powers in check."

"The seal?" Dusk blinked. "You mean this?" He held out the rosary cross. "So, if I put this back on you..."

"My other self will return to this world," Inner Moka answered for him, taking back the seal. "Lucky for you, I can't stay out like this for too long. So for now, I'll take your request and leave the Kaichou be. All I ask of you is watch over me while I rest."

Dusk was relieved, "Well, at least that's something..."

"But you still owe me an explanation, Dusk," she finished before snapping the rosary cross back to her choker. Dusk watched as the enormous aura faded almost immediately and Moka collapsed against his chest. Her hair instantly turned pink again and she became the Moka who Dusk was more familiar with, sleeping soundly with a smile on her face.

"What have I gotten myself into?" Shinichi asked as his armor dissolved away into particles of light.


"Dude, you missed Halo Night. Where were you?" Takeru asked as he met up with Shinichi in front of the school.

"Something came up," Shinichi answered apologetically, "Sorry."

"You should've called," huffed Takeru.

"Sorry," Shinichi apologized again. "It was... complicated." He really couldn't explain what actually went down. "I had to help fix the window as punishment and then Fran called me over to help her with one of her clients again."

"Well, at least it was a good reason. Just don't ditch our plans without warning," Takeru advised, arms folded. "You should've seen us! Me and Saji were pwning noobs!"

"I would've loved to see that," Shinichi smiled.

"Shinichi-kun!" Shinichi smiled as he watched Moka running towards him, waving.

"Hey, Moka-san," Shinichi waved back, the girl catching up to the duo.

"You had your glasses fixed up," said Moka, noticing his new spectacles.

"Had an extra pair," he clarified as he tapped on the frame. He heard Takeru clear his throat. "Oh, let me introduce you to my friend. Takeru Saotome."

"Hey, babe-" Tucker began.

"Stop it," Shinichi interrupted.

"I was just gonna say hello," Takeru defended.

"You were trying to flirt with her," Shinichi accused.

"...OK, you got me there."

"Come on, Moka-san. Let's head to class," Shinichi said to his friend. Moka nodded, smiling, as the three teens entered the school.


"So, have you heard about what happened to the Student Council President? He's in the hospital right now," Takeru said to Saji and Shinichi as they sat together in class.

"What happened?" Saji asked. "You think it has to do with part of the school being closed off for repairs? How did it even get vandalized overnight?"

"Nobody knows and they're not telling," Takeru answered. "A real mystery. Until he recovers the Vice-President will be taking over his duties." The room became ice cold as Biteru-sensei seemingly materialized in front of the class. "How does she do that?"

"It's a mystery."

"Now class, before I begin my lecture of how life is utterly pointless and meaningless and all that you have looking forward to is a pit of despair and emptiness, we have a new student joining us," Biteru-sensei began. The door slid open and Moka entered, stunning the students. "Moka Akashiya has decided to transfer to our class. I don't understand why. Maybe she just wants to understand why life is pointless. I don't care." She turned to Moka and toward over the girl, "Akashiya, if you have anything to say to the class, say it now. Because after this moment, I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ANOTHER SOUND FROM YOU!"

"Hai, Biteru-sensei," Moka beamed, seemingly unaware of the harshness from the teacher. She turned to the class and bowed, "Konichiwa everyone! I'm sure you already know, but my name is Moka Akashiya, and I really would like to be friends with all of you. You have absolutely nothing to fear from me. I'm sure that we'll all get along just fine."

"What did she mean by that?" Takeru whispered to Saji.

"Hell if I know," he shrugged.

"You can take the empty seat behind Sanban," Biteru-sensei ordered. Moka nodded and went to take the empty seat. Shinichi was still surprised.

"How did you get transferred?" Shinichi asked Moka.

"It was a simple application process," Moka told him.

"That was fast," he remarked.

Suddenly, someone shouted, "WE GOT MOKA AKASHIYA!" causing cheering to erupt.

Biteru-sensei then screamed, "SHUT UP AND SIT BACK DOWN!"

"Hai, Biteru-sensei..." the students went meekly.

Yesterday, Moka and Shinichi had discovered something new about each other. They discovered that they had much in common. They discovered that both of them wore masks. However, what else would life throw at them now? Would the start of a new friendship bring new challenges? Also, would new hardships follow? Could they confront these challenges head on? Only time would tell.

TAILSMO4EVER: Say hello to my collaboration with Kamen Rider Chrome. This story will be revolving around the oneshot R+V chapter, so there will be some glaring differences compared to the mainstream manga. This took some time, but hopefully this will interest you guys. It's definitely different from the other fics I've done on my own. As for my Mega fic, I'm thinking of rebooting that (no pun intended) but trust me, when I get to it, I'll fix it up good.
