Chapter 2: Comprehension

Moka responded," Nothing save another vampire can be my mate. and survive my father's trials."

Tsukune smiled at those words. She wasn't the first girl to say if he wasn't like something then she could not be his. He always gone beyond their expectations. He loved a challenge. His blood screams for him to take His Moka and protect her, also screams that to him that he cannot overcome a vampire, yet. Then, he slowly loses his smile when he realizes that Moka is deathly serious. Tsukune hands Inner Moka the cross of her rosary and walks away from her with Saizo and Kurumu in tow. Tsukune did not know the repercussions of what his actions had been but they had given him several strong bonds in not even a day. Tsukune decided that it was too early to test them and that it would be better if he waited for the others understand their relationship with him before he did anything.

Inner Moka stares after Tsukune unsure of he will do next, surprised by his recent actions, and utterly confused. Outer Moka did not understand why Inner had completely rejected Tsukune. Vampire laws and traditions had no problem with her just taking Tsukune as a lover and not going any farther. Tsukune had never given any sign of wanting to be a bloodmate and, unless he could be turned into a vampire, he could not anyway. Moka was having a massive amount of inner turmoil. Both her personas could not decide what to do next so she decided to go back to her dorm and sleep.

Kurumu was having a great deal of surprise herself but, unlike Moka was extremely pleased with the turn of events. Not only had she found on the first day of school a way to deal her need for another to lust after her succubus need to feed but, she had also gained the protection of two class A monsters who together could ward off all lesser monsters and some of the lesser S class super monsters. It looked like Krumu was going to be pampered and protected for the rest of her life. She decided she liked the how her first day turned out.

Saizo was glad that he did not have to worry about anything except protecting what his liege cared about. Part of the oath is that Tsukune must fiscally provide for, house, and feed Saizo. Saizo was glad that he was not going to have to integrate with human society too much. The only downside to him being sworn to Tsukune would be that when Tsukune had children he would have to watch over and take care of them along with Tsukune's women and his own women and children. Saizo for the first time in a long time was ready to invest himself fully in a task and that task was training himself to be able to defend his new family. Saizo now had a future.

Once Tsukune saw that both his remaining companions looked like they had sorted things out he dismissed Saizo to his room and much to Kurumu's disappointment he dismissed her to her own room after giving her a kiss to feed her succubus nature. Tsukune then went to his room and groaned as he go on his bed since even though his ribs had healed back into place they were still bruised and swollen but, considering that they had been completely and utterly broken almost down to little grains a half hour ago when he was initially kicked by Moka, he knew he would be healed by mourning.

The next day, Saizo, Tsukune, and Kurumu met up outside with Moka on the way to school. Moka walked up to Tsukune and said," Kiss." and sank her fangs into his neck and drank his blood before distancing herself from him. Tsukune did not make a sound and blatantly ignored her as she ignored him. Two can play that game, Moka Tsukune thought. Then, he looked at his watch and rushed to class with the rest of his retinue. Class went by really slowly because Moka was in front of him and Kurumu behind him making very suggestive comments that had his blood boiling and his blood told him to take the girl behind him to the nearest place with privacy and have his way with her but, he was better than that. He knew that if he held on and waited all good things come to those who wait. He knew that Moka would crack sooner or later it was just a matter of time and if he was lucky he could get more girls. So Tsukune made it through the excruciatingly slow school day.

Saizo smiled when the last bell rang. "My liege, I believe that you could use some training in martial combat considering you beat me by brute force and were taken down by finese and skill. The way see it you could be above S class if you trained enough."

Tsukune smiled at Saizo and said," I was thinking the same thing."

Saizo then unleashed his true form and said," Lets get this started!"

Tsukune felt his blood surge and his muscles expand and saw his skin turn red and glow crimson. He then smiled at his first conscious transformation into his blood raged state and then stated," With pleasure." before charging forward and Saizo dodged to the left. Tsukune tried to do a spin kick just to have his attack batted away by Saizo's powerful orcish arms. Tsukune leapt at him only for Saizo to dodge again. This time when Tsukune charged he lunged with his massive right arm only to have his hand caught by both of Saizo's hands. Saizo then smashed Tsukune into the ground a couple of times.

Saizo stated," I told you..." but was cut off by a punch to the gut and then a punch to the back knocking him to the ground and the wind out of his lungs.

Tsukune smiled and said," Every time I beat someone in anything I add their skill onto my own. Each time i heal you, I increase your power so you can keep up with me. I can't have someone who protects those I love have a strength vastly inferior to my own. But I can humor one minutely" Tsukune then he healed his own arms Saizo just realized that the force required to beat him down had broken both of Tsukune's arms and bruised tsukune's legs and chest severely that were now healing. Tsukune powers down.

Saizo grins," We are one step closer to the future we both want."

Tsukune smiles his ear to ear smile, "Indeed. We are but we are still miles away and the end is nowhere near in sight."

Moka watched the two sparing and was horrified that Tsukune and Saizo were going all out on each other. She looked like she wanted to protest the fight. It was plain to see that inspite of everything Inner Moka said; Moka cared about Tsukune.

Kurumu stood off to the side a little waiting patiently for another chance to seduce the man who lay claim to her. She knew from the start that Tsukune was going to beat Saizo but she like how evenly matched they were and even though Saizo was formal with Tsukune they both already trusted each other. It had only been a day and they were both so much stronger and faster. Kurumu smiled and lost her focus when she saw Tsukune come over to her and give her the best kiss of her life and whisper into her ear, "Don't worry your kiss doesn't turn monsters with active healing factors into mindless slaves."

She just giggled at him.

Tsukune then approached Moka and gave her a kiss on the lips which she tried and utterly failed to ignore. She responded for a second then remembered that her Inner self told him no. Moka then pushed him and there just happened to be a root behind him and he tripped over it. he reached out trying to grab Moka's shoulder to steady himself but instead grabbed the cross of the rosary. Inner Moka came out of a swarm of bats a second later.

Inner Moka lividly shouted," I told you know your place!" To everyone's surprise Tsukune dodged the kick in his human form.

Tsukune frowned," I know my place do you know yours only I can release you here at the school, I protected you, and thus you are mine. Also according to you own race's moral code we can be friends and lovers without any repercussions. So tell me the real reason!" Tsukune powers up.

Inner Moka laughs at Tsukune and says," Because you are weak and therefore unworthy."

Tsukune in his blood rage state howls in laughter and says," Then I won't hold back like I did with Saizo."

Tsukune charged Moka smiling ear to ear. Moka launched one of her powerful kicks at Tsukune. Moka shouted, "Know your place!" Tsukune ducked under her kick and knocked the leg she was standing on out from under her. " I will protect and keep what is mine no matter how it changes!" was Tsukune's reply. He then jumped back to avoid her kicking him from the ground. Inner Moka jumped to her feet and then stood there and waited for Tsukune to charge her again. He didn't though. He powered down instead and threw her the cross of her tosary. Tsukune smiled and said," I have proven my point I was able to get through your guard. You are not as untouchable as you think. I would never hurt a woman regardless of their actions or path in life especially those i care about."

Inner Moka was stunned to silence.

Tsukune took that as he should leave and signalled for Saizo and Kurumu to follow him. But just as he was about to leave, Inner Moka Grabbed Tsukune and...
