(A/N): And here we are again! I must say I am seriously blown away. I checked out the views and found out it went past 1000, 300 of which came from chapter 2 within a day of me posting it! The feels, the feels. I must apologize for my grammatical errors in my chapters, or well actually, stories in general. I tend to write in the middle of the night and not pay too much attention to what I write/proof read the whole thing before I upload it. I promise to be better at that. And a thank you to the people who commented/reviewed so far, proving to me that these parts of the story actually get read. Anyways, on to the story!

Chapter 3

"So then, you're Tsukune Aono, the human?"

My heart sank into my chest when I heard the man speak those words. How? How did he find out? The only people who should know are Moka and maybe the headmaster, oh who was I kidding, of course the headmaster knows. I was at a loss for words. I didn't know what to do. There was nothing I could do, nothing but just stand there, waiting to see what would happen.

"What are you doing here? A human like you in a school filled with monsters, I just cannot wrap my head around it. Oh, you are probably wondering how I know. Let's just say I have a keen sense of smell, and let me tell you, you reek of human."

So that was it! My smell! But then there had to be more to it. If I really did reek of a human as bad as he says then other monsters should have figured it out. Then it means he must have a really keen sense of smell like he says. Moka was able to figure it out because of my smell. She is a vampire and vampires have keen senses. Vampires are also S-class monsters. This raises the question of just what he is.

"Who are you and what do you want?

"Ah how rude of me. I am Ginei Morioka, president of the newspaper club. Some people call me Gin"

The newspaper club? That's the club Moka told me she joined. That meant he knew her. It still brings up the question of how he knows what I am. I am sure Moka didn't tell him. There was no way she would. It would mean I would be dead now and that wasn't the case; if she wanted me dead then she would have killed me on the first day of school. Besides, we are friends now so all it draws are more questions than answers.

"Okay so what is it you want? If you were going to kill me, you would already have done so."

"Very perceptive and correct you are. I came here because I have a certain problem with you. You see, the problem is your relation to Moka Akashiya."

Moka?! Is he serious? Of course he is serious or else he wouldn't be here.

"What does my friendship with Moka have to do with anything?"

"That there is the problem. I don't like whatever it is you think you have with Moka. So I came here to tell you to cut off your ties with her."

"Do you really think I would do such a thing to her just because you ask me to? Because you don't like it?" He was staring to piss me off. I needed to keep calm though and not let my anger guide me. If I did then I would start a fight with someone who might be on par with Moka's level. I couldn't let that happen.

"Oh, you misunderstand me. I wasn't asking!"

In an instant he vanished only to reappear with his fist planted in my gut. I was knocked back and to the ground. His punch knocked the air out of my lungs. I struggled to get up and my vision became a little black every few seconds. I didn't even see him move. He was fast, really fast. I didn't have time to react or even summon my power.

"Do you get what I'm telling you now? I am only going to warn and tell you this once, stay away from Moka or else." And with that, he sent one more punch to my face and everything went black.

(With Moka)

I was leaving the newspaper club, having lost patience since Gin wasn't even in the room. He was more late than usual. It wasn't my concern since I didn't even want to join the club in the first place. I was more concerned with how Tsukune was doing. He has been training every day after school to become stronger. It only made sense since he is a weak human. He would need to get stronger in order to have a chance of surviving.

Like I would let anyone hurt Tsukune! I wonder if he is getting stronger for me?

I felt my cheeks become warm at the thought I just had. It was then I remembered what he said to me that day.

"I want to protect you from any more of that pain… I want to be there for you and get to know you better"

This time I felt my heart skip a beat and a weird sensation in my stomach.

He is just a human, nothing more than a human

My mind just couldn't stop thinking of him. I wondered if he was still training. It bugged me that he was keeping it a secret from me. There was no harm done if he told me. In fact, I could have even helped him out. After all, we are friends right?

"Hey beautiful, what are you up to?"

I was brought out of my thoughts by Gin. I really didn't like this guy. Not only was he annoying with his constant attempts of flirting with me but he is also a dirty pervert. And to top it all off, he smelled like a dog. "I don't have the time, patience, nor care to deal with you so tell me what you want."

"Aww come on baby, don't be like that. Why don't we spend some quality time together?"

"No, I am busy looking for a friend of mine."

And with that I walked off. I didn't want to be around him any longer than I had to be. I could have just shown him his place but I was more concerned with how Tsukune was doing. I left the school and made my way to the forest clearing to watch Tsukune train like usual. He normally stays out to train until dark or if he gets really hungry from not eating dinner yet. Because of this, I've always had time to come and watch him after club ends. When I got to the spot however, I started to panic. There in the middle of the field was the person I was looking for, unconscious. I rushed over to him to see if he was alright. I noticed he had a hole in his shirt and a bruise where the hole was as well as one on his face.

He must have been attacked, but by who?

I pulled his head onto my lap and let him rest after making sure he was indeed alright. I sat there patting his head and running my fingers through his hair. It felt natural to me so I didn't question it. It was actually quite peaceful. It wasn't long before he came to.

"Hey beautiful, what's going on?"

"Tsukune," I stated with a smile along with a little yoki. "Do you mind telling me just what the hell happened to you? Like why were you unconscious and have a bruise in your gut and on your face?" I then saw him gulp as well as flinch and immediately knew what he was about to tell me was a lie.

"Well you see Moka, it's actually quite a funny story. I was um, going for a walk when I accidentally ran into a boulder and a tree branch. I felt a little light headed and came here to catch my breath and I guess I just fell asleep."

"Oh? And just how did you accidentally run into a boulder and tree branch?"

"I was, um, distracted?"

"By what?"

"A book? Yea I was reading a book so I wasn't paying attention to where I was going!"

"And where is this so called book of yours you were reading Tsukune?" He had nothing else to say, either that or he just couldn't think of anything else to say that might pass for a lie. He knew I knew he was lying. He knew there was no point in continuing to try and lie since he was so bad at it, that or he just couldn't lie well to me. "Tsukune I know about your training." I saw his eyes become wide and his jaw drop open as his face displayed just how shocked he really was.

"How did you know?!"

"Please, do you really think I wouldn't wonder where you go every after class that requires you to go back to the dorms so late? Did you think I wouldn't notice how tired you have been lately? I followed you the first day you decided to start training. Do you know how worried I have been? What if someone attacks you while you are out here alone? And now just proves me right with the injuries you have. Why didn't you tell me? And I also want to know who it was that attacked you! I swear I am going to make him learn his place!" I was pissed right now. My first and only friend has been lying to me, not only that, but someone even dared to hurt him.

"I am sorry Moka, I really am. I shouldn't have kept what I have been doing a secret from you." With this, he got up and kept his back to me. "But, as for who attacked me, just don't worry about it."

"Excuse me? And just why would I do that?" Did I just hear him right? Did he really expect me to drop it just like that?

"I'll be fine Moka."

"No you won't Tsukune! You are a weak human! You aren't strong enough to win a fight the way you are! That's why I have to protect you!"

"I said I'll be fine! I don't need you to protect me!" And with that he ran off into the woods. He didn't even look back. I just remained sitting where I was on the ground. I couldn't believe Tsukune yelled at me. He wouldn't let me help him. He refused my help! Aren't friends supposed to accept help from each other? If that's the case then just what are we?

(With Tsukune)

I was running. I just had an argument with Moka and I even yelled at her! I was just getting mad at the things she was saying. She called me a weak powerless human. I know she was right but I just couldn't stand there and take it. It was the reason I was training so hard to begin with. So I could become strong enough to protect her and stand by her side, but I couldn't just come right out and say that. She might see it as I have feelings for her. Well I do but I can't just come right out and say it. So I ran and kept running. I couldn't bring Moka into this fight. I had to become stronger and deal with Gin myself. I also needed to find out what he was and why he was so fast. I have to think.

What kind of monster would be stupid enough to think he had a chance with Moka. Well I don't think stupid would be the word since Saizo tried to go for her and according to her, he was a weak, low level monster. He only got lucky a pond was nearby when they were fighting to exploit her weakness or else she would have ended the fight with ease. That means Gin had to be a monster that was confident enough to possibly handle and take on Moka. He has keen senses and is super-fast. How would I be able to get close enough to touch him for me to activate my powers? I bet he is also quite strong as well. When he punched me it hurt like hell but I know he was holding back.

I have to think. What else was there? Any other clues to go off of. And that is when it hit me. His pendant necklace! It was a wolf head.

Albion, I want to know if there is a way for me to beat Gin in a short time

[There is a way]

Tell me

(One week later)

It has been a week since Moka and I had that argument and I took off. We haven't really talked since then. It hurts because I can see the hurt in her eyes when I look at her. I promised to protect her from that pain and yet I'm the one that caused it this time. I needed to apologize but I didn't know how. And if Gin was watching, and I know he would be, it would start something. He hasn't confronted me once since that day he knocked me out. Though I do see him in the halls sometimes and every time he has a big smile on his face. I ticked me off to no end but I had to keep my cool.

I have continued my training and have been getting a little bit stronger. I can now quickly summon my divine dividing without and problems or complications. I also have a better time of channeling my energy and my stamina has improved from all the running I have been doing.

It feels a little weird waking up and going to class now because don't walk to school with Moka anymore. Nor do we eat lunch together. Though I do notice when she grabs her lunch along with a few cans of tomato juice. It seemed like with each passing day the more cans she drinks as well as how often she drinks them. I was curious as to why but every time I would think about talking to her, Gin would miraculously pop out of nowhere and either talk to me or her and when he talked to her, he would be looking at me out of the corner of his eye. It only made my anger grow, especially since he was always flirting with her.

I was currently on the roof of the school. I took a break from training today because I just couldn't concentrate. My mind was filled with thoughts of Moka.

[Are you jealous?]

Shut up, I'm just pissed off that someone like him thinks he can get away with talking to her and threatening me to do it

[You should have marked her when you had the chance]

What does marking someone even mean?

[If someone is marked then that person is basically off limits from other people. It is similar or even equal to the human's marriage.]

What?! I can't do that! We are just friends!

[You are a dragon. You should start acting like one.]

Yea? How would I even go about marking her?

[Simple, you throw her down, make her submit, and then take her.]

Take her how?

[I think you know how]

This conversation is over Albion!

I couldn't help but blush. What Albion was saying was just…. Well not that I didn't like the thought of it…..NO, it was just no! I couldn't even do that in my dreams for fear of what she might do, yea not even in my dreams. I watched the sun and horizon. I found out the weather here at the academy was controlled by magic. The sun looked amazing and the sunset even more so. But it still couldn't get my mind off of Moka. The conversation with Albion didn't help either. And then I heard a voice behind me and found it to be the person I was thinking of.

"Tsukune."

"Moka."

A silence fell between us. All we did was look at each other. I didn't even know what to say. There were so many things running through my mind like apologizing, asking how she was, and then what my conversation with Albion consisted of. But then I noticed she was kind of pale, more so than usual.

"Moka are you okay? You don't look so good."

"I am fine Tsukune, don't worry about me" she quickly snapped back.

I could tell she was mad. Probably because of the argument we had before and the fact we haven't talked with each other since then. But that doesn't change the fact that I still care and worry about her. I turned to look at the sun but was found with the rising moon instead. "It's getting late so I should get going." I then made my way towards the door of the roof and left, but caught one last thing.

"You're so cruel Tsukune. Why won't you let me in?"

(With Moka)

"You're so cruel Tsukune. Why won't you let me in?"

I didn't understand. It was like he was purposely pushing me away. We were friends yet no it didn't feel like it. Now, I didn't even know what to think of us. It has been a week since we had that argument but it feels like it's been forever, forever since the last time we talked. Now I'm stuck with seeing Gin all the time and more frequently than before. Tsukune, was this my fault? I couldn't help but think of that possibility. I did call him weak and powerless. But that is what he is, he is a pathetic human. No he isn't a pathetic human. He is kind and brave but still weak. But he is training to become stronger. Why is he training to become stronger though? Was it just to survive or was there something more?

I started to feel a little weak and light headed. The reason being I haven't had blood for a while now. I know it was stupid and foolish of me to not drink blood since blood was essential for a vampire to live, but I just couldn't bring myself to drink a different blood than Tsukune's. I only had it a few times but I just fell in love with it at first taste. I wanted to ask him for some now but my pride would not allow me to cave in.

"Hey beautiful, what are you doing up here all alone?"

Great, and here is the last person I want to see right now. I've had enough of him all weak. Now I was really starting to get ticked off. "I am going to say this once Gin, stop bothering me or else."

"Or else what? You don't scare me princess, so how about we get to know each other better."

"That was your last warning Gin." And with that I disappeared only to reappear to kick him. But then he suddenly vanished and my foot hit nothing but air. How was that possible? There was no way he could have been fast enough to dodge that!

"Come on babe that was pretty slow. I thought you are supposed to be some kind of powerful vampire. Then again I am pretty fast and with the moon out like it is, I am even faster." He vanished again only to reappear behind me with one arm around my waist and the other holding my arm in place so I couldn't fight back. "I'm a werewolf so taking on an S-class vampire like you shouldn't be too much trouble for me with the moon out and with the fact you are weak from not having any blood. Even if I have to force you, you will be mine."

I then heard the door to the roof kicked open and felt the power of the man I cared deeply for.

"Get your dam hands off of her Gin!"

"Tsukune."

(With Tsukune)

After I left the roof I was halfway out of the school when I stopped.

[Why did you leave? Didn't you want to talk to her?]

I know Albion but I, I just panicked and didn't know what to say

[You could have just told her the real reason of why you have been avoiding her instead of continuing to lie and keep secrets from her all the time.]

I-I know I just, no you are right. It's not fair to Moka, all I'm doing is hurting her feelings like this and that is the last thing I want to do. I turned around and ran back up the stairs only to stop when I heard Moka's voice along with another. I opened the door a little to see what was going on. I saw Moka and the other person who turned out to be, GIN! What the hell was he doing here? I didn't like it and Moka must not have either for a few seconds later she disappeared and reappeared to kick Gin, only for him to dodge it and completely vanish! I couldn't believe my eyes. He dodged Moka's kick and he wasn't even in his monster form. Just how fast is he?

I saw him reappear behind Moka and that is when my blood began to boil. He snaked one arm around her waist and the other keeping her arm at bay. He was touching her in a way I absolutely hated. It reminded me of Saizo and then I heard him say it.

"Even if I have to force you, you will be mine."

That was it. I couldn't take it anymore. I had more than enough of what I could bare. Before I knew it my foot was already up and kicking towards the door. "Get your dam hands off of her Gin!"

"Tsukune."

I heard Moka call my name and seeing her the way she was only fueled my anger.

"Tsukune, Tsukune, Tsukune, you just don't learn do you? As to be expected from a human, stupid and ignorant. I guess the little warning I gave you last time didn't quite sink in. I guess you just have a death wish, but don't worry, I'll take really good care of Moka once you're gone."

I could see Moka's face the whole time she was hearing what Gin was saying. And then it hit her, why I've been acting the way I have been for the past week and why I was attacked and who attacked me a week ago. I could see the anger in her face and she was ready to blow. But if what I heard Gin say earlier was true then she was in no condition to fight him and win easily due to not having blood. So I did the only thing which came to mind. I activated it.

"Divine Dividing!"

I then dashed for Moka and extended my arm to try and punch Gin but he dodged. It was unfortunate since I need to touch him to divide his power but I have Moka in my arms so it's fine. I looked into her eyes and saw the hurt and anger in them.

"Tsukune I-"

"Moka, I am sorry for the way I've been acting and I promise you I won't do it again and make it up to you but first I have a wolf to take care of." I let her down and got up to face Gin who was standing on the other side of the roof.

"So you managed to figure out what I am. I am impressed, but don't think for a second that it will change anything. See wolves get stronger with the power from the moon and it just so happens it's full tonight." He then started to revert to his true form. A werewolf, I was correct. This was one fight that was not going to be easy.

[Remember to keep your guard up and to stay focused]

Got it

I charged at him and threw punches and kicks only for him to effortlessly dodge all of my attacks. He was fast, very fast. He then jumped back and disappeared. I put my guard up and looked around my surrounding. He appeared above me bringing his foot down. I used my wings to push me back and just barely dodged his foot.

"So you actually were able to dodge a hit this time. I'm impressed again, but don't think that it was skill because that was just pure luck." He disappeared again only to reappear behind me. I turned around to see his smiling face. And that is when it hit me. I fell to my knees as I felt tremendous pain all over my body. He must have hit me multiple times really fast in the blink of an eye. I even coughed up blood.

"Tsukune!" I heard Moka call me and could see the worry in her eyes and the concern in her voice.

"There was never even a chance you could beat me. I'm too quick for you to hit and too fast for you to dodge. Face it, this fight is over. Moka is mine!"

The more he talked like he owned her, the angrier I got. I was going to make him pay and shut him up. I then concentrated my energy and let it fill me; let it explode inside of me. "Gin, I am going to make you pay for everything. And let's get one thing straight. You don't deserve Moka! She's mine!" I then noticed Moka's cheeks became red after I said that while Gin seemed to get angry. I forced myself to stand up.

"I may be weak, talentless, and even just a pathetic human, but I'll be the best dam human there is! Albion let's do it!"

[Right!]

[Vanishing Dragon Over-booster]

A bright white light shined and engulfed the whole roof. I then felt the power of my sacred gear envelope my body and soon after a white armor with the motif of a dragon covered my body. The armor was completely white with blue jewels embedded in certain places on the armor. This was the balance breaker of my divine dividing, Vanishing Dragon Scale mail.

[Remember, you only have ten seconds]

The reason I only had this armor for ten seconds was because it was a tremendous amount of power to maintain. And being a weak human, I didn't have enough power to maintain wearing it for any longer without tearing my body apart in the process. But….

Ten seconds is all I need!

Flew at Gin and vanished only to reappear with my fist planted in his gut. I did to him what he did to me before. I could see the pained and shocked expression on his face. I moved too quick, even for Gin to respond. He quickly jumped back to put some distance between us. But I did manage to land a hit on him. Here's where the fun part begins.

"I don't know what the hell is going on or what that armor is but that was just a lucky hit you scored nothing mo-"

[Divide]

He fell to the ground and was uneasy. The nice thing about my scale mail is that I can use my power without the time limit restriction. So I held up my hand towards him again and….

[Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide!]

That makes 10. He fell to one knee and pretty much said the same thing as Saizo with the whole what the hell did you do to me, but I didn't care or pay attention because my time was running out so I flew at Gin and jabbed him strait in the face. He flew back and hit a wall. When he made contact with the wall it made a crater and I swear I heard a few sickening cracks as well. I then flew at him again and picked him up by the collar as my armor disappeared. I didn't care because I did what I set out to do. He was barely conscious so I made it quick and looked him strait in the eyes.

"You don't mess with me again. And you don't even so much as think about touching, flirting, or even looking in her direction! DO. YOU. UNDERSTAND. ME?!"

He barely shook his head yes before I planted my fist in his face. I then dropped him and then walked toward Moka. She was wide eyed and filled with shock like the first time I used my powers. So like last time I picked her up bridal style and flew off the roof towards the dorms. Yes I was actually able to fly now, though not for long periods of time or that fast like when I was in my scale male, but still at least I was able to do it now so I wasn't complaining. I then felt a hand on my cheek. It was Moka's.

"You had me worried back there, especially when you were coughing up blood."

"Didn't I tell you not to worry about me?"

"Idiot! Even if you tell me not to I will do so anyways!"

"Hey I'll always come out alright. I know it's dangerous but I don't plan on dying just yet. There is someone I made a promise to who I still want to be friends with." Her cheeks flushed red after what I said sank in.

"How were you able to do that earlier? The armor that is."

"I asked the dragon inside of me if there was a way to grant me a boost of power and that is what I got, though the draw backs is I can only use it for ten seconds and I can't use my powers for a few days afterwards due to the massive power requirement to just use it."

"Hmm, silver and white. It's a little ironic don't you think?"

"I think it's a sign!"

"Don't get cocky human!"

Dam, if only I could half her pride like can with opponent's powers

[Mark her!]

Shut up Albion!

"Moka, is what Gin said true? You haven't drunken blood for a while?" When I asked her that, she looked away like she was embarrassed.

"I didn't want to drink any other blood except for yours," she admitted. I was shocked. Did she really like my blood that much? And she starved herself because of me? Never again would I allow this woman to do such a thing.

I flew down to her room and through her window. I deactivated my sacred gear and let her down on the bed. I looked at her and tilted my head. I then brought one arm around her waist as I brought the other hand to her head and casually inched her toward my exposed neck. "Drink, please. I don't want you to suffer." Frankly I was already pretty exhausted and didn't really want to get my blood sucked for fear of being drained even more but I would suck it up if it were to make Moka better. Not needing to be told twice, she extended her fangs and sank them into my neck. I could feel the energy leave me as she continued to drink more of my blood. I started to feel a bit relaxed and my eye lids felt heavy.

When she was done, she licked the wound to seal the puncture marks. "Thank you Tsukune, you are always so delicious." I smiled at her. I couldn't help it because she naturally makes me smile.

"It was my pleasure Moka." And with that, my body had lost the last of the strength it had to stay conscious any longer. I ended up falling on top of Moka on the bed.

"Tsukune! What the hell are you doing?!" But she must have noticed I was already unconscious and asleep so she settled down. She even wrapped her arms around me and pulled me in closer. "Sweet dreams Tsukune."

(A/N): And that is chapter 3. I had a day off so I decided to take the opportunity and write this along with reading other fanfics. As always leave a review to tell me how I am doing or if I have anything I need to improve on. And thank you to all the supporters I have for this story. Until the next update!
