Hey everybody it is Dark Plagueman once again.
i'm going to clear up something people have been asking me. Tsukune is an Empath not a Telepath. He cannot talk to people with his mind only sense their emotions and the thing they are focused on for example Gin foucusing on kurumu's panties Tsukune can read the emotion (lust) and the direction (kurumu's panties). other people have wondered if i am making him too powerful... well right now he has the same strength as a half vampire. also remember he has little to know battle experiance he is going off instinct.
anyway i don't own Rosario + Vampire or any of it's characters so on with the story! please review!
Chapter 4: Confession and Vampire
Moka was sitting with Tsukune and the others eating lunch. Tsukune sat staring at her as he drank some tomato juice. Staring back at him she saw again the thing in his eyes that so confused her. It was maddening that she could not figure out what it was.
"What is wrong Moka-san? What is confusing you so much?" asked Tsukune his empathic abilities telling him of her confusion. His abilities had grown a lot in the past few weeks that he could now tell the difference between most of the emotions he felt and what they were directed at. He simply loved catching Gin thinking about something perverted… something that was very easy to do, as almost every thought he had was directed at these things.
"Well it seems that every time I look into you eyes I see something that confuses me greatly as I cannot figure it out." said Moka "can any of you see something?"
Looking at each of them in turn they did not notice anything weird.
"Well I'll find out sometime…"
Unnoticed by the rest of the group they were being watched by two people on the roof.
"Well! So it sounds like we might have to move into action sooner than I expected." said Kiria.
"Our friend Ueshiba Mizuki will literally bury the human. Tell him to strike when he's alone… we don't want any interruptions do we?" said Kaneshiro Hokuto.
Sitting in homeroom Tsukune could not help but chuckle. Nekonomi sensei's emotions were focused on fish… they always were. "Tsukune-kun what is so funny?" she said looking at him. "Um sensei, do you ever think about anything but fish? Ah sensei?" he said feeling anger.
"Nya!" she said scratching him.
The Bell rang signalling the end of the day's lessons. Tsukune walking back to the dorms is met by a smiling black haired boy. "Hi! Aono Tsukune, right? My name's Mizuki, Ueshiba Mizuki."
"Yeah I am. Sorry but I'm kind of tired, maybe I'll see you around. Bye!" turning to continue on his way he felt sensed movement behind him but when he turned around nobody was there only a small disturbed patch of ground. Suddenly something grabbed his feet and pulled him underground.
"Moka and Kurumu were walking back to their rooms.
"Do you reckon Tsukune will be back in his dorm?" asked Moka
"Probably… he seemed pretty tired." Kurumu answered "Hey did you feel that? Tsukune is just ahead of us."
"Let's catch up to him."
Running a little further down the path they noticed two disturbed patches of earth. One, they noticed had fresh bloodstains around it.
"That's Tsukune's blood I recognise the scent. What do you think happened to him?"
"Damn Vampire." A voice issued from the ground. "I had hoped that no one would take any notice of the ground, let alone recognise the blood by it's scent… oh well I'll just have to pull you two under just like Tsukune!"
"What! What to you mean like Tsukune?"
"I was sent to kill him… And any witnesses" said Mizuki as he grabbed Kurumu and Moka and began to pull them underground. Suddenly the tugging stopped and an aura was felt… "A familiar aura" thought Moka and Kurumu.
"Who is that? Who the fuck is pulling me… Tsukune! I thought I killed him already! Ugh!" said Mizure as he was yanked beneath the surface. Not for long though, as with a crash he flew out of the ground and Tsukune rose out of the ground much to the amazement and happiness of the two girls.
"You weren't content to just bury me but you even hurt my friends! I will not forgive you, you fucking bastard!" as Tsukune smashed the prone form of Mizuki into the dirt knocking him out.
"Moka, Kurumu are you alright?"
The two girls could only nod as they stared at a blood and dirt covered vampire Tsukune as he approached them.
"Good, you're not hurt" said Tsukune as he replaced his Rosario and he fell into the arms of the two girls and blacked out.
"So Mizure failed to kill Tsukune… He must be stronger than I thought… said Hokuto. Send someone to tail him Kiria.
Tsukune felt her emotions just before she struck.
"Tsukune! How are you my destined one?" said Kurumu before smothering him with her breasts.
"Tsukune-san!" cried Yukari as she tried to hug him by he was pulled away by Kurumu. "You could never pull off this technique Yukari! Not with that flat chest!"
Crash! A gold basin smashed on her head and forcing her to let Tsukune go. Slightly asphyxiated, Tsukune sighed when he sensed Mizore behind a tree.
"Hello Mizore!" He called.
"How did you know I was here?"
"I sensed you heightened emotions."
"Tsukune!" yelled Moka as she met up with him. He just pulled down his collar.
"Thanks Tsukune!" she said as she bit him.
"Moka… your blood smells nice today…" as he lowered his head and began to feed.
"Oy! What are you two doing?" shouted Kurumu. Wiping a trickle of blood from his face she understood. "Why do you keep drinking each others blood?"
Smiling, they answered "because it tastes so delicious!"
"Tsukune you can drink my blood anytime!" said Mizore
You can drink my blood Tsukune, I mean, you are my destined one! Who am I to refuse your request!" said Kurumu
"You both can drink mine!" said Yukari
"No your still too young… we might kill you." said Moka to Yukari
"I wonder if Tsukune knows what it means if two vampires only drink each others blood?" asked Outer Moka
"Probably not, you should tell him." Inner Moka answered.
"I hope he understands our feelings." Moka worried. "Please Tsukune understand me!"
Tsukune was sitting in Maths listening to Kagome Ririko-sensei, when a particular emotion caught his attention. The sadness coming from Moka seemed to overwhelm him, and he nearly started to cry form the strength of the emotion. Concentrating harder on what was the root of the emotion he felt that her thoughts were fixed on… Him.
"I must talk to her as soon as this lesson is over…" he thought. "How long until this lesson ends? Great forty minutes." It was the longest, saddest forty minutes of Tsukune's life so far.
As soon as the bell rung he grabbed Moka's hand and lead her into the grounds away from everyone, determined not to be overheard.
Moka had no idea that Tsukune had felt her sadness; she had momentarily forgotten his empathic abilities. Thus, she was confused why Tsukune was taking her into the forest. Finally reaching a secluded area Tsukune looked at her.
"Moka-san what is wrong. Why are you so upset? Did I do something wrong?"
Shocked she wondered how he knew. Sensing her confusion he continued.
"Moka your sadness back in the room was overpowering… those were the saddest minutes of my life! And I just get a small part of your emotions… please tell me what is wrong!" begged Tsukune.
"Tsukune… do you know what it means when two vampires drink only from each other?" she said softly her voice filled with sadness.
"Yes I do. It means that the two of them are mutually in love. Nothing is more precious to a vampire than their blood… it is what gives us our strength. So to give it to someone is one of the greatest acts of love a vampire can give."
Moka was shocked… she had been mentally preparing to tell him exactly that.
"How do you know that?" asked Moka
"Well I am a vampire now, so I read a lot of books to find out about some of our weaknesses… though as a vampire/ghoul hybrid I am immune to most of them. I picked it up there but I had pieced most of it together before then.
"So you understand why I let you drink my blood?"
'Yes it's because you love me… I love you Moka, more than anything… that's why you see something in my eyes that no-one else can… but does Inner Moka feel the same way?" asked Tsukune
"Ask her yourself Tsukune" and reaching out he removed her Rosario then his own.
"So Tsukune, you do understand… I didn't think you would." said Moka
"Do you love me Moka?" asked Tsukune in his vampire form. Red eyes gleaming filled with that strange emotion that Moka now realised was love… his love for her.
"When I first met you, you were nothing more than a blood supply to me… but I watched you as you again and again protected me, even though a single hit might kill you. My feelings changed… but I cannot fall in love with you… I am Immortal and by loving you I would have had to watch as you age, then died while I continued to endure unchanging… I cannot bring myself to love a mortal; I will not endure that pain… I am sorry" and as she finished speaking she kissed him once and upon taking her Rosario she left, leaving him standing alone, more alone than he had ever been before. He left heading beck to the dorms not noticing someone was in a tree photographing everything…
