Hi, everyone! I'm back with Chapter 1 part 2: Study Session and a Vampire. I hope everyone enjoyed part 1. I actually decided to split this chapter up because it would have ended up being 40 pages long! I have decided to use SOME elements of the manga in this fanfic, such as Moka's vampire blood effecting Tsukune(causing him to crave her blood). I was somewhat disappointed that the anime didn't explore that before season two ended. Please note that I will NOT be using the Tsukune ghoul element. In this fanfic, Moka's blood will not be turning him into a ghoul, but rather a complete vampire. I understand that he is technically being turning into a vampire in the manga too, but I'm taking out the ghoul phase of it completely. I also want to apologize that it took me so long to get this up. I'm still getting used to college. Anyway, do enjoy
Warnings: Minor language
Now, on with the story:
Chapter 1 Part 2: Study Session and a Vampire
Tsukune gave a small yawn as he desperately tried to pay attention to the lesson Ms. Ririko was going over. Math had never been one of his strong-points, after all. And with finals coming up, the teen was sure that he would need all the help he could possibly get in order to pass the term.
The teen sighed as he quickly glanced around the classroom at all his fellow students. Once again, it appeared that he had fallen way behind them. Almost all of them seemed to understand the lesson perfectly.
Damn it, just my luck that I would fall behind again, Tsukune thought with a frown as he glared at the assignment scrawled on the board at the front of the room, Then again, with everything that goes on at this school, I guess it's no wonder I have trouble keeping up sometimes. It seems like every time I begin to understand the lessons, something else happens, and I forget everything all over again.
The worst part was that Tsukune couldn't help but notice that it was internal fighting that had caused most of the calamity this year. In fact, other than one or two rowdy monsters, namely Kokoa, the girls had spent most of the year fighting amongst themselves…over him.
Tsukune winced at the stab of guilt that swept through him, Inner Moka's words replaying in his mind like a record…
It's your indecisiveness that brought this about…you know that. That's okay for the time being, but one of these days you are going to have to make a decision, Tsukune. And that time is coming up…
Tsukune shook his head. She was right; his indecisiveness did nothing but give them all false hope. In the end, only one of them would stand by his side as his lover. Truth be told, he was pretty sure who he wanted that someone to be too, but he just couldn't bring himself to hurt the others' feelings.
Tsukune gave an exasperated sigh. It was times like this that he really became frustrated with himself. In all honesty, it wasn't like it was that hard of a decision to make. It was a simple question; who did he want to spend his life with?
The teen was brought out of his thoughts when he felt a soft poke on his left shoulder. Turning around in his chair, he came face-to-face with Moka's worried expression.
"Are you alright, Tsukune?" the vampire asked in a rather concerned tone.
It was no secret to her that Tsukune struggled quite a bit in math. Had he fallen behind again? If that was the case, she would be more than happy to help him.
Tsukune smiled slightly.
Moka's so sweet. I hate to make her worry about me so much. "Oh, I'm fine, Moka. Just having a little trouble keeping up is all," he admitted with an embarrassed grin.
Moka smiled sweetly. She couldn't help but find the boy adorable.
"Well, if you want, we could study together…maybe tonight?"
Tsukune blushed as his mind immediately conjured up images of all the possible outcomes of him studying alone with Moka…
Tsukune swallowed nervously as he took a glance around the room. Never in a million years did he think that he would ever be sitting in Moka's dorm room! He was pleasantly surprised to find that Moka apparently kept house the same way she took notes: excessively neat and clean.
"And for this equation you solve for y, see?" the vampire explained, though Tsukune was hardly paying attention to the math anymore.
He drew in a sharp breath when Moka leaned closer to him, their shoulders brushing as she pointed to the problem on the page.
Oh, my God, she smells so good! Tsukune's eyes glazed over as he began to get lost in her wonderfully warm, herbal scent.
Time seemed to stand still as the vampire slowly glanced at him out of the corner of her eye. She couldn't suppress a giggle at the far-away look in his eyes, a deep blush rising to her cheeks as she quickly realized her mistake in sitting too close to him.
Tsukune felt his breath catch as she slowly turned to face him, their noses almost touching from the close proximity.
"U-uh, M-Moka?" he stammered, swallowing nervously as he felt his heart begin to race.
"Tsukune…," the young vampire whispered, gently placing her hand on his as she unconsciously began to lean closer.
Tsukune gulped as he noticed her eyes travel to his neck briefly. He barely had time to blink before he felt her sudden weight in his lap.
"M-M-Moka?!" he yelped, now blushing an impossible shade of red.
The vampire gave a shy smile, her own blush deepening.
"P-Please, Tsukune?"
The boy gulped again, his eyes widening.
Taking his silence for a 'yes,' Moka gently wrapped her arms around him as she leaned in the rest of the way. The vampire gave a soft purr of ecstasy as her small fangs pierced his skin, his sweet blood seeping into her mouth.
Tsukune felt his whole body go rigid for a moment. With her sitting in his lap like this, it was only a matter of time before his body would react to her nearness. He shut his eyes tightly as he desperately tried to resist the inevitable, gasping as Moka pressed herself even closer.
"M-Moka…," he whimpered softly, trying not focus on the fact that their bodies were now flush against one another.
"…Tsukune…," Moka whispered, replacing her fangs with her tongue as she began to gently lap at the punctures she had made.
Tsukune gave a soft groan, feeling his body begin to react to her attentions…
"Tsukune?" Moka questioned, blinking in confusion when the boy continued to stare blankly. "Tsukune?!" she repeated, a little more loudly this time to gain the, obviously day-dreaming, boy's attention.
The vampire almost had to laugh as the boy's eyes widened, seemingly in shock, for a moment before regaining his normal composure.
"H-huh?" he blinked, blushing in embarrassment. Damn it, another dream?! These fantasies are getting out of control. Tsukune sighed. Even in my daydreams she sucks my blood!
Moka giggled slightly.
"I was just asking if you wanted me to help you study tonight."
Tsukune blushed, nodding his head vigorously.
"Of course, Moka, that sounds great!"
Both teens blushed, sweat-dropping as the whole class seemed to shift their attention to the conversing couple in the back of the classroom.
Tsukune shyly placed a hand behind his head in embarrassment, turning back around in his seat as Ms. Ririko's eyes narrowed in agitation at the interruption.
"Actually, Mr. Aono, what would be great would be if you would pay attention long enough to pass your finals."
Tsukune gulped, sinking down in his seat as the classroom erupted with his classmates' snickers and giggles.
"And that goes for you as well, Miss Akashiya," the teacher added, causing the classroom to burst into full-out laughter as Moka quickly raised her hands to cover her heated face.
The class erupted into gales of laughter.
"Alright, that's quite enough, pie r squared!" the teacher commanded, causing the class to settle down and quiet its laughter.
Tsukune gave a grateful sigh, happy that he and Moka were no longer the center of attention. The teen spared a glance at the girl behind him and gave a sheepish grin.
Moka peeked at him from behind her fingers, determined to hide her deep blush. Just what was going on with her hormones today? It was beginning to get rather embarrassing. Perhaps studying alone with him tonight was a bad idea?
The vampire shook her head slightly. No way! This was too good of an opportunity to be alone with him to pass up. Maybe they would even get to pick up where they left off at lunch? Slowly removing her hands from her face, she gave him a shy smile.
Tonight, Tsukune…tonight we'll finally be alone…
Tsukune blushed under her soft gaze, returning her smile. Just as he was about to speak, the bell rang, signaling the end of the school day
Moka quickly stood up and grabbed her schoolbag.
"Come on, Tsukune," she giggled as she grabbed his hand, causing the boy to gasp.
Tsukune barely had time to grab his schoolbag and belongings before Moka began dragging him to the door.
"M-Moka, w-wait-," he stuttered, blushing once more.
The teen swallowed nervously as he felt the many pairs of eyes of his classmates upon them as they walked down the hall, their arms linked securely together again. Glancing at her out of the corner of his eye, Tsukune wasn't all that surprised to find that Moka seemed to pay little attention to all of the stares that they were currently receiving from their classmates.
The pair had just exited the school building and were nearly half-way across the courtyard when a shout from behind them reached both their ears. Turning around, both teens spotted Kurumu running towards them with Yukari trailing not far behind.
"Where do you two think you're sneaking off to alone?" Kurumu questioned, narrowing her eyes in Moka's direction when she noticed the pair's linked arms.
"You didn't think you were gonna leave us behind, did you?" Yukari added with a giggle.
Paying no attention to the young witch, Kurumu quickly grabbed Tsukune's other arm and attempted to free him from the vampire's grasp.
Moka maintained her grip, her secure hold not budging an inch.
Kurumu looked up at the vampire in slight shock. Usually, this would be the part where Tsukune would be in HER arms: away from Moka. Kurumu didn't miss the almost dark smile that appeared on Moka's face for only a brief second before it was gone, being replaced with her usual, girlish scowl of annoyance.
The succubus's eyes widened briefly. That smile was one of which should have only been possible of Inner Moka. There was no doubt about it; the vampire was acting very peculiar today.
Wh-what's going on? This Moka is supposed to be a push-over! Why is she so strong all of the sudden?! Don't tell me…surely that rosary's seal isn't weakening already?...
"C-come on now, you guys, would you two stop fighting already?" Tsukune pleaded weakly.
"Yeah, it's pretty annoying. Especially when you know that I'm his real lover," a monotone voice replied from behind, causing everyone to sweat-drop as Mizore appeared, seemingly out of nowhere, behind Moka and Tsukune.
Kurumu glared, her fingernails forming into her claws once again.
"What was that, Snow-skank?"
Mizore simply glared back for a moment before launching an ice shard in the succubus's direction. The snow-woman was all too aware that her greatest rival for Tsukune's heart was Moka.
Now that this Moka is back, I'm really gonna have to step up my game if I want to have a chance, she thought as she glanced at the vampire out of the corner of her eye.
"Alright, that does it! I've had enough!" Kurumu shouted. Her wings and tail emerged, causing her to look more like a she-devil than a seducer of men.
"Bring it on, Bimbo, but don't think I'll go easy on you. I don't know how to hold back," the snow-woman retorted, her arms forming into ice-claws.
"Wh-what the-" Tsukune attempted to stop the fight, only to be cut off as Moka began to quietly drag him away.
The succubus and snow-woman took little notice, becoming too absorbed in their own battle. Only Yukari seemed to notice, though she did absolutely nothing to physically stop the retreating couple.
"Uh, Kurumu…Mizore," the little witch tried, growling under her breath when the two ignored her and continued their squabbling.
Yukari glared, but remained silent for a bit while Moka and Tsukune disappeared out of sight in the direction of the girls' dorm building. In all actuality, the little witch didn't care all that much if Tsukune and Moka were alone together. It only made her goal of having them both that much more attainable.
Succubus and snow-woman continued to argue, unaware of the four pairs of eyes that had watched the whole scene unfold...
"Doesn't he just make you sick?!" growled a blond boy as he stood on the school rooftop watching the display in the courtyard below him, his eyes glowing an eerie yellow in his anger.
"You're telling me! THAT'S Tsukune Aono? I was expecting much more from the one rumored to have beaten Kuyo," a girl with black hair added, her eyes also glowing a vibrant yellow.
"Humph! Chicks these days must really not have any standards. Just look at em' fight over him! Just who the hell does a little shrimp like him think he is?!" a brown-haired boy added with a snarl, pulling back his lips to reveal sharp, pointed fangs. Unlike the others, his eyes glowed a bright orange color.
The third boy sat quietly off to the side, his black bangs covering his eyes as he remained almost completely motionless on the railing.
"I'd watch my back around him, though. He's not what he seems," he finally murmured, causing the other three teens to look at him with disgust.
"What are you talking about? He looks positively pathetic! My infant sister looks more intimidating than him!" the brown-haired boy snarled, baring his fangs again.
"Cool it, Togura. We'll have our chance at him soon enough," the blond boy intervened, running a hand through his hair with a sigh.
Togura scowled.
"Don't even try to play leader with me, Hitsuba."
"I'm more concerned about what lizard-boy here has to say. Didn't you say that you actually fought this guy before? What do you mean 'he's not what he seems'?" the black-haired girl interrupted, folding her arms across her chest as she shifted her weight to her back right leg in a rather relaxed posture.
The black-haired boy that was sitting on the railing merely shrugged.
"To tell you the truth, Ruka, I don't know. A couple of my fellow lizard men and I fought him last year. The last thing I really remember is a bright, pink light enveloping that girl...and then…nothing. I'm telling you; DON'T go near him when that girl is around."
"You mean Akashiya? She doesn't look so tough!" Togura huffed, folding his arms indignantly.
"I don't know…isn't she supposed to be a vampire?" Ruka replied skeptically.
"That's what I heard too," Hitsuba affirmed with a nod.
Togura scowled.
"Listen to all of you! Have some pride as monstrels! Don't you bone-heads get it?! We are elites. We can do things that no other monsters can; Tsukune Aono doesn't stand a chance! If you guys are too chicken to take him on, then I'll handle him on my own."
"Don't be stupid, Togura. I think we should listen to him. After all, he's actually fought the guy before. You know as well as I do that if you go charging in without thinking, it could cost you. I hate Aono as much as you do, but I refuse to underestimate him," Hitsuba chided as he shook his head in disapproval.
Togura snorted.
"That's just like a mummy to be all overly-cautious. Sometimes I wonder if you really are as strong as you say you are. You certainly don't fight."
Hitsuba grinned darkly.
"Life isn't all about fighting, Togura. That's just like a cobra to bare its fangs without thinking of the consequences. And as for your little shot at my fighting skills…feel free to push your luck any time."
"Enough! Both of you sound like idiots! Aono is our enemy, not each other," Ruka shouted commandingly, quickly growing agitated at her comrades' bickering.
"Humph! I say you're all idiots. You'd be better off to leave well enough alone," the black-haired lizard man muttered.
Hitsuba gave a devilish grin.
"We'll see about that. I think it's time Tsukune Aono pays for all the attention he's getting. This time, he'll have to live up to his reputation."
"You don't think that he's a vampire too, do you?" Ruka asked out of mild interest, "After all, it would make sense."
Togura scoffed.
"Don't make me laugh! That puny runt, a vampire?!"
Hitsuba gave a dark smirk, running a hand through his straight, blonde hair again.
"We'll see soon enough."
Tsukune swallowed nervously as the girls' dorm building came into view. He had never even been in the building, let alone Moka's personal room. And, given his current state, he wasn't so sure that he trusted himself alone with the beautiful vampire. The teen gave the rosary a glance out of the corner of his eye and gulped. Perhaps that was the worst part of all: not only was he having fantasies about the sweet Outer Moka, but now he was also fantasizing about her inner self as well.
*Gulp* She'd so tear my head off…
"What's the matter, Tsukune?" Moka questioned in a concerned tone as she noticed the uneasy look on his face.
Tsukune gave a rather nervous chuckle, blushing as he attempted to give her a reassuring grin.
You mean aside from my over-active hormones and the fact that I'm getting ready to be put alone in a room with you for hours? "Hahaha! Oh, it's nothing," he quickly reassured; a little TOO quickly.
Moka gave a soft, reassuring smile.
"Well, if you're sure. Remember, Tsukune, you can always tell me anything," she murmured as she slowly slid her hand down his arm to hold his hand.
Tsukune suppressed a shiver, his blush intensifying when he felt her intertwine their fingers.
Oh, God, I don't think that I'm gonna make it through the night without having a heart attack. It's almost like…like she's doing this on purpose…like she's asking me to…to…, his thoughts trailed off as they reached the building, and he hastily opened the door for her and allowed her to enter first.
Moka smiled and had to bite back a giggle as he practically threw himself into the door in his haste to open it for her.
Oh, Tsukune, you're such a sweetie…
The vampire felt her heart skip a beat and gasped, feeling her body grow abnormally warm. Glancing down, she noticed her rosary glowing. Blinking in confusion when her inner self remained silent, much like she had that morning, Moka quickly adjusted the collar of her school jacket so as to hide her rosary from Tsukune. What was her inner self doing? And why did her body feel…so warm all of the sudden.
"Moka? What is it? Are you ok?" Tsukune asked as he shyly placed a hand on her shoulder, causing the girl to jump slightly.
Moka blushed, quickly looking away from her rosary.
"Oh, of course, Tsukune! Why do you ask?"
Tsukune bit his lip lightly, not missing the way Moka's eyes instantly traveled to his mouth as he did so.
"Well, you just seem like something's bothering you today." Not to mention that you haven't been acting like yourself. Could it be the new rosary?
"Not at all, Tsukune. I'm totally fine," the vampire reassured with a smile.
Tsukune smiled warmly.
"Well, you know that you can tell me anything too, right, Moka?"
The vampire gasped, her eyes widening as she felt her heart skip a beat again.
"Oh, Tsukune!" she happily cried, launching herself into his arms.
The boy only had time to let out a small yelp as he was knocked to the ground, the amorous vampire lying on top of him as she hugged him for all she was worth.
"Uh, M-Moka…we should…um…," he murmured shyly, blushing as all the girls standing in the hallway began to stop and stare.
Moka's eyes shot open, a deep blush rapidly appearing across her cheeks. Suddenly, as if just realizing what she was doing, she quickly crawled off of him and stood.
"I'm sorry, Tsukune. It's just, well, you have no idea how much that means to me," she apologized, placing one hand against her cheek in embarrassment as she extended her free hand to the boy to assist in helping him to stand.
Tsukune gave an embarrassed smile, blushing as he slowly accepted the girl's hand. He held in a gasp as she quickly hauled him up with practically no effort on his part.
She's so strong that it's ridiculous sometimes…
"This way, Tsukune," the vampire chirped happily, her blush deepening as she finally took notice of the numerous pairs of eyes watching them.
With boys not being allowed in the girls' dorms after curfew, it wasn't very often that one would even see a boy in the girls' dorms at all.
Paying little attention to her own abilities, Moka turned on her heel and began to lead Tsukune down the hall to her room.
Tsukune gulped nervously as he caught the murderous looks some of the girls were giving him. Perhaps they still remembered the peeping-tom rumor?
"You're, uh, not gonna get into trouble for this, are you, Moka?" he questioned hesitantly as she led him up a flight of stairs.
The vampire gave a bright smile, a lone fang poking out of her mouth as she glanced at him out of the corner of her eye.
"Of course not, Tsukune, why would I get in trouble for helping you?"
Tsukune blushed and shyly rubbed the back of his neck with his free hand.
"Oh, I don't know. It's just the way all the girls were looking at me down there. You don't think they're still on that peeping-tom rumor, do you?"
Moka stopped, giving the boy a sympathetic look. After all, even she had thought he was the peeper at one point, but it had turned out to be Gin instead. The vampire frowned slightly; the perverted werewolf had almost completely fooled her.
I still owe Tsukune for that… "Don't worry, Tsukune. They understand that it was all a mistake," she assured, giving the boy's hand a slight squeeze.
Tsukune felt his heart skip a beat, and he blushed a deeper shade of red as he quickly avoided eye-contact.
"W-well, if you're sure. I just don't want to cause you any more trouble," he murmured, glancing down at his feet almost shamefully. Moka, Kurumu, Mizore, Yukari…they all end up having to protect me almost every day, and all I can do to repay them is say thank you? *Sigh* I really am pathetic…
"Don't say that!" Moka shouted, startling the boy out of his negative thoughts, "You don't cause me any trouble, and even if you did it wouldn't matter!"
Tsukune's eyes widened slightly in shock.
I…really mean that much to her? "Moka…," he murmured, gasping as she pressed him against the wall of the stairwell.
The teen gulped, feeling his heart miss several beats.
"I told you before; you're the first friend I've ever had…I'd do anything I could for you, Tsukune. I lo-" Moka gasped, quickly placing a hand over her mouth to prevent herself from continuing.
What the hell was the matter with her?!
The vampire quickly looked away. Glancing down, her eyes widened when she found that her rosary was STILL glowing.
"Moka…I…Hey, are you alright? What's wrong with your rosary? Why's it glowing like that?" Tsukune questioned hesitantly after a moment, snapping the vampire out of her revelry.
The rosary ceased its glowing then, and Moka quickly shook her head, her worried expression instantly evaporating into one of reassurance.
"Oh, don't mind that, it does that from time to time. I'm totally fine, Tsukune. Now let's get you some help on that math before it gets too late." And before I start kissing you out here in the hall or something, she thought with a deep blush.
Tsukune couldn't help but feel slightly disappointed as the girl pulled back. His spirits lifted, however, as she instantly took his hand again and led him the rest of the way up the stairs.
The pair was silent as they walked down the long corridor, arriving at Moka's room near the end of the hall.
"Well, here we are," Moka chirped proudly as she unlocked the door.
Tsukune gulped, hesitating slightly as she gestured him inside.
"It's alright, Tsukune," the vampire giggled slightly, gently nudging him inside before following after.
Moka's room was exactly how he had imagined it. I was neat, clean, and best of all, it smelled like her.
Tsukune gave another nervous gulp, feeling a shiver run up his spine as Moka quietly closed the door behind them; locking it, thereafter. The teen took a hesitant step forward, allowing Moka to move past him as she made her way to her desk. He could only watch, wide-eyed, as the vampire removed the comforter and pillows from her bed and arranged them on the floor.
"Oh, God, what the hell is she doing?! Tsukune thought, feeling his face heat up as his brain immediately began jumping to sexual conclusions in spite of himself.
Once she was satisfied with the arrangement, Moka turned to him with a bright smile.
"Well, come on, Tsukune. Are you ready to get started?"
Tsukune's mouth fell open, his eyes nearly popping out of his head.
"Wh-what?!" he exclaimed, blushing uncontrollably.
Moka stared at him in confusion for a moment, blushing as she pressed her index fingers together lightly.
"Well, I thought that, since I only have one desk chair, it would be more comfortable if we studied like this," she admitted shyly, her blush deepening as she averted her eyes.
"Oh, hahaha, right. Silly me," Tsukune laughed nervously, feeling very much humiliated with himself. Smooth…not even five minutes alone with her in her room and I've already embarrassed myself!
Moka smiled shyly as Tsukune slowly walked over and sat down with his back propped up against her bed, placing one of the pillows behind his back for comfort. Biting her lip lightly, the vampire quietly moved to sit beside him.
Tsukune felt their shoulders brush as she sat down next to him, and his breath hitched in his throat. His eyes fluttered closed briefly as her sweet scent began to encircle him, enticing him.
This…this is almost like my daydream from earlier… Tsukune quickly shook his head to clear his thoughts, fighting down an intense blush.
Deciding not to dwell any more on the matter for fear of embarrassing himself further, he retrieved his math notebook from his schoolbag.
Moka waited patiently as he opened the notebook to the page with their assigned homework, unconsciously leaning even closer to him.
"For the first few equations, you'll be solving for x or y, see?" she finally spoke, moving to point to a particular problem.
Tsukune felt a shiver tingle down his spine at her nearness, his heart nearly leaping into his throat when their hands accidentally brushed.
Both teens froze, exchanging shy glances before blushing and quickly looking away. After a few moments of working fairly quietly, those shy, unintentional touches became deliberate, gentle caresses. And after nearly an hour of working, Tsukune actually found himself becoming slightly more relaxed. What was even better was that he actually understood the material now!
Moka, you really are the best! he thought with a small smile as he glanced at her out of the corner of his eye.
Moka felt his gaze on her and blushed slightly, turning to give him a bright smile.
I'm so glad that I could help you, Tsukune. All I ever want is to see you happy…
"You really are a great teacher, Moka. I really feel like I can pass with flying colors this time," Tsukune praised, stifling a chuckle when the vampire's face erupted into a lovely shade of deep red.
"Not at all, Tsukune! I'm just glad that I could help," Moka beamed.
Returning her infectious smile, Tsukune stood up and stretched. Glancing out the window, he noticed that it was now nearly dark outside.
"Well, I'm sure it's getting close to curfew. I should probably head back to my dorm. Thanks again for all your help, Moka," he said as he glanced back down at her.
Moka quickly tore her eyes away from him, afraid to be caught staring. She had actually done well, so far, to not suck his blood during their study session.
"W-well, alright, Tsukune. I'll see you tomorrow," she replied as she moved to place her notebook back into her schoolbag.
The vampire gave a sharp yelp as her notebook slipped, the paper cutting the edge of her right index finger. Blood instantly bubbled up to the surface of her skin before slowly sliding down her finger in a lazy stream.
"Moka, are you-" Tsukune trailed off, his eyes widening as the scent of her blood reached him.
"Oh, I'm fine…just a little paper-cut is all," the vampire assured as she smiled up at him, wincing slightly as the chilly evening air caused the cut to sting.
Tsukune's eyes instantly flew to the cut on her finger, and he shivered.
Wh-what the hell is wrong with me? Why is her blood making me feel so….so thirsty, the teen gulped.
Moka gave the boy a curious look. Why was he looking at her like that?
"Tsukune?"
The boy drew in a shaky breath. Feeling his heart begin to race, he quickly knelt down beside her and gently took her hand in his.
"Tsukune, I'm fine, really," the vampire assured again, a little more nervously this time.
Tsukune didn't reply, gently bringing her injured finger to his lips.
Moka gasped, blushing a bright red as her body tensed.
"Ts-Tsukune, wh-what are you-" the vampire trailed off, the rest of her words dying in her throat as he slowly began to suck the blood off her finger.
Tsukune closed his eyes as a pleasant tingle filled his body at the sweet taste.
What am I doing? Why am I- his thoughts trailed off as he unconsciously pressed his lips more firmly against her finger, biting back a moan as more of her sweet blood seeped onto his tongue.
Moka felt her heart skip a beat and hastily stifled a whimper. What in the world was Tsukune doing?! Unable to ignore the exquisite feel of his gentle tongue on her sensitive finger anymore, she gave a soft moan of appreciation.
Tsukune shuddered. Gasping, he finally tore his mouth away.
"M-Moka, I'm so sorry! I-I didn't mean-I should go. It's getting late anyway," he apologized with a blush as he quickly stood up. Oh, Man, I've really done it now. What the hell was I thinking?! Why did I even do that?
"Tsukune, wait," Moka pleaded as she stood up to follow.
Tsukune quickly collected his things and began to run. He had made it to the door when she caught his arm.
"Please wait, Tsukune," she pleaded, worry and confusion prevalent in her gentle eyes.
Tsukune felt his chest tighten, but gently pulled his arm from her grasp. He simply didn't trust himself to stay with her a second longer.
"I'm…I'm sorry, Moka," he murmured.
The teen then turned on his heels and ran as fast as he could. He didn't dare pause to see the various looks he was receiving from the girls that occupied the hall. For perhaps the first time in his life, Tsukune was afraid of himself. The boy didn't even slow down until he reached the stairs, clearing them in three bounds.
What's happening to me? I've never…felt like this before…
As he neared the front door of the dorms, Tsukune couldn't seem to shake the overwhelming feeling that something absolutely terrible was about to happen.
Moka stood, frozen in shock, as she contemplated going after the boy. Glancing down at her hand, she couldn't help but blush. After all, aside from the hug he had given her yesterday, it was the first physical affection he had shown her.
"He's getting too close," Inner Moka stated, making her presence known for the first time in hours.
Moka jumped slightly, snapping out of her revelry as she glanced down at her glowing rosary.
"W-what do you mean?"
There was a silence, and Moka felt an almost uneasy chill fill her body.
"The fool…doesn't even know what he's getting himself in to. Look, Tsukune's body is beginning to change. That vampire blood I infused him with is starting to transform him."
Moka paled, her heart missing a beat.
"What does that mean, though? It's not hurting him, is it? Tell me!"
Inner Moka gave an agitated sigh. She should have known that her blood would take effect sooner or later. Unfortunately, she had let her growing affections for the boy override her better judgment. He had, after all, been in mortal danger.
"Not yet. I didn't think that this would happen so soon."
"What do you mean? What's our blood doing to him?" Moka questioned frantically.
What was happening to Tsukune?! Was he going to be alright?
"Listen, Tsukune is suffering a delayed reaction to the vampire blood that now runs in his veins. For some reason, it was dormant until yesterday. He must have awoken it in his fight with father. If you hadn't been so busy pursuing romantic endeavors with him, you would've sensed that!"
Moka gasped, a dark blush rapidly filling her features.
"B-but I-"
"Enough! That doesn't matter at the moment. He's acquiring a taste for our blood now, thanks to you," Inner Moka cut her off, a hint of embarrassment creeping into her tone.
