Chapter Three: Dinner
Tsukune walked into his house, putting his coat on the rack that was by the door, stretching his arms.
"Oh, hello, Tsukune." Kasumi said, smiling and waving at him as he entered the door. "How was school?"
"It was fine." Tsukune said.
"did Moka recover alright?" Kasumi asked.
"She's fine." Tsukune said. "All she needed was some iron and she was good to go."
"Good." Kasumi smiled. "such a sweet girl. I'd hate to see her have to be rushed to the hospital."
"Same." Tsukune said, nodding. The thought then crossed his mind as to what they'd find if the doctors operated on Moka.
"For dinner, I made your favorite." Kasumi smiled, holding up Tsukune's favorite dish: Sushi.
"About that." Tsukune said. "I, uh, was invited to a friend's house for dinner. I wanted to go. Is that alright?"
"A friend?" Kasumi asked. "Is it Moka?"
"No." Tsukune said. "But, she was invited as well."
"I see." Kasumi thought about this. "Well, alright. If Moka's going, I suppose it'd be alright for you to go as well."
"Great!" Tsukune nodded, smiling. "I'll just go get changed and head to her house, if it's alright with you."
"Go ahead." Kasumi nodded. "I'll save you some sushi."
"Thanks!" Tsukune grinned, running upstairs to his room. Inside, he found Kyoko looking through some of his things.
"Uh" He said as Kyoko jumped up in shock. "What are you doing?"
"Uh, nothing?" Kyoko struggled to think of a response.
"Doesn't look like it." Tsukune crossed his arms.
"Okay, fine." Kyoko said. "I'm looking for some stuff to find out about Moka. There's something off about her. She's a nice girl, but there's something off."
Tsukune began to sweat, gulping.
"Wait" she said, moving over to him. "You know what it is, don't you? What's so odd about her? Why does she seem so strange to me?"
"Uuuhhh…" Tsukune's turn to think of a response came. "Well, you've seen her personality, haven't you?"
"That's not it." Kyoko shook her head. "I saw her kissing your neck. But, it didn't seem romantic. What's going on with you two?"
"Uuh, nothing." Tsukune gulped again, trying his best not to crack under his sisterly cousin's interrogation. He knew that if he even began to show the slightest signs of weakness, she just might find out Moka's secret, which he absolutely could not let happen under any circumstances.
"I know you're lying." Kyoko said in a whisper, leaning in close to Tsukune's ear. "And, when I find out what the truth is, I'm gonna come down hard on you."
"O-okay." Tsukune's eyes were wide with fear as Kyoko backed off, heading out of his room.
"That's gonna be a problem." Tsukune thought. Even as he closed his door and began to change, he couldn't shake the thought that Kyoko could be a definite problem for keeping Moka's secret safe in the future.
Twenty minutes later
Tsukune walked out of his door, walking towards Mizore's house. On the way, he heard a very familiar voice calling his name.
"Tsukune-kun!" Moka yelled, tackling him in a hug. "I got you! Let's go to dinner!"
"Alright." Tsukune chuckled. The two began to walk toward Mizore's house together, arm in arm, unaware of Kyoko watching them from her bedroom window. Tsukune noticed that Moka had changed into a t-shirt with a Zubat on it, as well as shorts that were pink. Her shoes were now tennis shoes, black laces with pink shoes.
With Moka and Tsukune
As Moka and Tsukune walked toward Mizore's house, the pink haired vampire noticed the thoughtful look Tsukune had on his face.
"Tsukune-kun?" She asked. "Are you alright? You've got this weird look on your face."
"I-it's nothing." He said. "I'll tell you and Mizore together."
"Okay." Moka said, her instincts telling her it probably wasn't good.
They arrived at Mizore's house, Moka knocking on the door. Mizore opened the door, smiling a much larger smile than she'd had before. The both noticed she was wearing a kimono that was an icy blue. She gestured them in, her lollipop still in her mouth.
"I'm so glad you came." She said. Her voice was softer, less quiet, but also more emotional.
"We are too." Moka grinned. "Tsukune-kun's got something he needs to tell us though."
"You do?" Mizore asked, curious.
"Yeah." Tsukune said, nodding. He leaned in close to them, whispering.
"Well" he explained. "I was heading up to my room to change my clothes when I noticed my cousin going through my things. When I asked her what was going on, she got all weird and started asking me about Moka. I tried to dodge it, but she seems convinced there's something off about Moka. If she keeps digging, she may find out."
"We can't tell her." Moka whispered. "I don't know what it is, but her 'scent' is strange. I can't pinpoint it. I don't want to put my trust in her and it fail. Let's just keep it between us, alright?"
"Understood." Mizore said, Tsukune nodding in agreement.
"Thanks, you guys." Moka grinned, hugging them tightly.
"Moka…" Tsukune strained out as he was shoved into her breasts, along with Mizore, the pair blushing heavily as they were face first in Moka's breasts. "Air…"
"Oh, sorry." Moka sheepishly let them go. "I forget my own strength sometimes."
"It's alright." Tsukune pat her shoulder.
"It is." Mizore said, still blushing from the close contact. "Well, I believe we should change the subject by introducing you to my mother."
"That sounds great!" Moka grinned. "Where is she?"
"She is in the kitchen." Mizore pointed as she led them into the kitchen. Inside they saw a woman who was nearly the spitting image of Mizore. She had longer hair and wore a different kimono; however, these were the only differences between the two. She also had a lollipop in her mouth.
"This is my mother, Tsurara Shirayuki." Mizore smiled as she gestured to her.
"Ooh, you're a fine one." Tsurara said, going up to Tsukune and cupping her hand under his chin. "If I were twenty years younger…"
"Uhh… help." Tsukune said, trying to step back.
"And you" the older Shirayuki said, going up to Moka. "You're a very fine one. Where do you get your looks?"
"Uh, my mom." Moka said, grinning slightly, revealing a part of her fangs.
"Well then, dearies." Tsurara said, smirking at the group. "I hope you're prepared to eat a good meal."
"I sure am!" Moka licked her lips.
"Well, it'll be ready soon." Tsurara said, chuckling. "In the meantime, why don't you go up and see Mimi's room?"
"Mimi?" Tsukune asked as Mizore turned a bright red to contrast the blue that made up most of her attire.
"Th-that was what she called me when I was five." The blushing girl said quietly.
"That's so cute!" Moka said, pulling Mizore into another hug, nearly crushing her with it.
"Moka!" Tsukune said. "She needs breath."
"Oh, sorry, Mizore-chan!" Moka said, releasing Mizore, who took a breath of air and regained her composure.
"It is alright, Moka-San." Mizore stretched a tiny bit. "I would like to take you to see my room now."
"Alright!" Moka cheered, Mizore leading them up to her room.
The two visitors gasped as they saw the pale girl's room. It was decorated with tons of anime and manga memorabilia. Posters of Goku, Naruto, Natsu, Ichigo, and Luffy hung up on the far wall, seemingly very costly. Dozens of manga volumes lined the quite large bookshelf on the end, containing several series, from Dragon Ball to Bleach to One Piece to Black Butler to Sailor Moon to Haruhi Suzumiya. On her dresser stood several different figures, grouped together by anime, though the one that shone the most was Dragon Ball, at least ten grouped together, all joined in an epic fight scene. In the open closet, several costumes hung in addition to Mizore's clothing. There were three maid costumes, each from a different style, along with several different costumes of specific characters, including some female versions of several male anime and manga characters. There were also several other manga books stuffed in some boxes in the bottom of the closet. On the top shelf of the closet was a large box marked "anime", the contents including quite a few various series, the front most one being Dragon Ball. Strewn over the floor were several magazines of anime origin, both shonen (boy directed) and shoujo (girl directed). On the wall opposite her bed, which had a Dragon Ball Z comforter on top, was a TV, a video game system hooked up to it, at least a dozen anime games showing in containers next to it. Around the TV were dozens stickers of various anime characters.
"Wow." Tsukune breathed. "This is quite the collection."
"I'm…" Mizore said in her quiet tone, blushing heavily as her privacy was being shown to her friends. "I'm a huge fan of anime and manga."
"Cool!" Moka exclaimed, looking around at everything around the room, picking some up and stroking others.
"Th-thanks." Mizore said, blushing harder. "Most people wouldn't think so."
"Well, both of us are fans of anime." Tsukune said. "Not to this level though, but we do enjoy it."
"Yeah, Mizore-chan!" Moka said, dressed up in a Sailor Moon costume as she did the character's salute and battle pose. "There's no judgement here! I love this stuff!"
"Didn't think she could pull off a skirt that short." Tsukune mused as Mizore blushed as her eyes were drawn to it for a split second.
"Tsukune-kuuuun!" Moka whined. "Don't draw attention to it! It's unladylike!"
"And, yet you still put it on." Tsukune chuckled.
"I'll change then!" Moka crossed her arms, pouting as she walked into the closet, returning in her previous attire.
"That's a little better." Tsukune said, sighing. "I was worried you'd get yelled at by my cousin if you kept that on."
"Why?" Moka asked.
"You know Kyoko." Tsukune shrugged.
"Yeah." Moka said. "Well, it's Mizore-chan's anyway."
"That too." Tsukune laughed. "Well, perhaps we could establish a meeting place that isn't our houses we could meet after school to hang out?"
"There is a place nearby that has fast food." Mizore suggested. "We could spend time there."
"That's a great idea." Tsukune nodded, Moka nodding excitedly.
"Yeah!" Moka voiced her opinion. "Great job, Mizore-chan!"
Mizore blushed at this, Moka tackling her in a hug.
Tsukune couldn't hide his chuckle as he watched her hug Mizore. He then noticed Moka inhaling Mizore's 'scent' from up close.
"You have a nice 'scent', Mizore-chan." Moka said, Mizore blushing heavily from the proximity as well as the dialogue. "I wonder…"
Moka then took a gentle bite of Mizore's neck, tasting her blood and sealing the wound with her abilities. She licked her lips as she smiled, a small stain just above her upper lip.
"Moka, what are you doing?" Tsukune asked, a little confused.
"Mizore-chan's blood tastes just as good as Tsukune-kun's!" Moka grinned, licking her lips and cleaning the stain. "It also has a slight chill to it. I like that!"
"Well, now you have twice as many people whose blood to drink on a daily basis." Tsukune said jokingly.
"Yeah!" Moka said excitedly, looking at Mizore with a sort of pleading in her eyes, almost like a puppy. "Please, Mizore-chan?"
"U-uh, sure." Mizore said, stunned and blushing heavily from the contact and tingles the bite to her neck had left. It wasn't a sexual tingle… but she still enjoyed it. It felt… good.
"Yay!" Moka hugged her around the neck, squeezing.
"Moka… san…" Mizore struggled to get out. "Need… air!"
"Oh, sorry, Mizore-chan!" Moka said, releasing her and standing up, pulling the pale girl up with relative ease.
"Thanks." Mizore said, smiling slightly. "So, um, I believe my mother has prepared dinner. Perhaps we should go and eat?"
"That sounds great!" Moka exclaimed, running downstairs, leaving the other two behind. They both shared a small chuckle, walking down and talking with one another.
"Good luck with the blood sucking thing." Tsukune chuckled. "She enjoys it a lot. You might get it every other day."
"I do not mind." Mizore said. "It makes her happy and it gives me a good feeling."
"Same here." Tsukune said. "It's like her positive energy replaces the blood."
"I like her positivity." Mizore said. "It makes her Moka-san."
"Yeah." Tsukune nodded as they arrived at the table, Moka already sitting down, holding a fork and knife.
"Someone is hungry." Tsurara stood in the doorway, glancing at Moka. "I hope she likes our dinner."
"I am sure she will." Mizore said, smiling.
"Well, here it is." Tsurara said, bringing out the food in multiple trips. There was salad, cold shrimp, assorted fruits, and yogurt, for starters. There was also a steamed salmon that was sitting on a tub of ice water, most likely to bring it to a temperature that wouldn't bother Mizore's tastes. There were also lemon drinks as well as fruit punch. It was like a small picnic.
"Wow." Everyone said. "this looks great."
"well, I believe it is time to eat." Tsurara said, chuckling as she sat down, Mizore and Tsukune sitting on either side of Moka.
"Alright!" Moka said, going for the meats. She filled up her plate, making sure to get a decent amount of the spinach that was on the table. Tsukune and Mizore both waited until she was done to eat, Tsurara getting hers last. The four of them dug in, the guests licking their lips and thanking Tsurara.
"You're welcome, dearies." She laughed. "Anything for my daughter's friends."
"So" Tsukune said. "What do you do for a living, Miss Shirayuki?"
"I am a model." Tsurara said. "They say I've got the body of a virgin half my age."
"Wow!" Moka exclaimed. "That's so cool!"
"Yep." Tsurara smirked proudly. "So, how was seeing my daughter's room?"
"It was so cool!" Moka said. "There's so much cool stuff!"
Mizore was blushing as Moka began telling why she liked it so much.
"Well, I'm glad you are having fun." Tsurara said, chuckling. "My little Mimi was telling me how great friends you were."
Mizore 'eeped', hiding her face behind her hands as Tsurara laughed.
"So, Mimi" she said. "How has school been?"
"G-good." Mizore's blush finally died down as she began talking. "I-I met two new friends and I had them over for dinner."
"We're having a good time." Moka smiled, Tsukune nodding.
"Good to hear." Tsurara said. "I hope you will become even closer as you go through your lives."
"We do too." Moka said.
"Good." Tsurara smiled as they resumed eating.
Later
Moka and Tsukune waved at Mizore and Tsurara, both of which sucking on lollipops once again, as they left, heading back to their own homes. Tsukune walked Moka to her house, waiting at the door.
"Thanks, Tsukune-kun!" She said, hugging him before she walked into her house, giving one last wave before shutting the door.
Tsukune chuckled to himself as he walked home, opening the door and sitting down in the living room and turning on the TV. He flicked through a few channels before settling on a movie channel, which was playing his favorite movie.
"How was dinner, sweetie?" Kasumi asked as she walked in. "Did you have fun with Moka?"
"I did." Tsukune said. "We had a great time. So, what was dinner here?"
"We had steaks." Kasumi said. "But, I'm sure you enjoyed what you had with Moka. What did you have?"
"Various things." Tsukune said, shrugging. "It was great."
"Good." Kasumi said, sitting next to him. "So, how is Moka?"
"She's fine." Tsukune said. "you saw her this morning."
"I know." Kasumi said. "But, this morning, she was having an anemia attack."
"Oh, that's right." Tsukune said, remembering Moka's thirst. "Well, she's alright now."
"Good." Kasumi said. "She's such a nice girl. So loveable too."
"Yeah." Tsukune said. "It's one of her best qualities."
"It sure is." Kasumi nodded. "By the way, is something odd with Kyoko?"
"I'm not sure." Tsukune said, his voice stopping for a second.
"Oh…" Kasumi said. "Well, she was acting weird earlier today and I figured you would know something, especially since she was muttering something about you and Moka."
"I don't know." Tsukune tried to think. "But, I'll try to find out."
"Well, I'll do that." Kasumi said. "We're both females after all."
"Alright." Tsukune conceded. "Good luck."
"Thank you." Kasumi nodded. "Now, you should be heading towards upstairs. You still have school tomorrow and I expect you to get up. You're not going to one of those fancy boarding academies like Trans-Vania Castle Academy."
"Yeah yeah, I know." Tsukune said, sighing. "I can keep up my grades at Youkai and one day go to a good university."
"Good job." Kasumi smiled. "I'm sure you will do well."
"I'm gonna go get some sleep then." Tsukune said. "I had a late night last night."
Tsukune then walked up to his room, looking quietly into Kyoko's room to see she was surfing the internet. While Tsukune couldn't see what she was looking at, he could figure that it was about Moka or something. He would have to try to keep her from noticing Mizore if she was behaving like this about Moka. He didn't know if Mizore could handle the pressure of Kyoko's interrogating.
With Kyoko
The teenage girl typed away at her computer.
"Nothing." She muttered. "Nothing on her. It's as if she doesn't exist here. This can't be right. There's definitely something off about her, but I can't tell what it is. Gah! Why not!?"
Kyoko thought for a second, a solution coming to her.
"That rosary's got to have some importance." She concluded. As she began to type on her computer, several results popped up.
"Rosaries are often seen as holy or religious items" she read from the page. "Several monsters in mythology and legend are specifically dispelled by these items. However, they are very dangerous if imbued with sealing powers. If used properly, a rosary can seal away a monster's power. However, if removed, the resulting powers would flood back into the monster, granting them their full powers back and allowing them to regain their strength."
"So…" Kyoko mused. "Moka's some sort of monster. I wonder what kind. I guess I can look further in this article to see…"
"Rosaries are mostly used to seal the powers of supernaturally dark monsters, such as vampires, werewolves, or even demons." Kyoko continued reading. "However, the original strength of the monster determines the strength of the seal needed."
"This could be a very interesting find." She said. "I knew there was something about Moka that was off. I've got to get Tsuki away from her. She's dangerous."
However, before Kyoko could get up to do anything, a hand clamped over her mouth from behind, something wrapping around her arms.
"Looks like someone's stumbled into a world she doesn't understand." A low, seductive female voice sounded in her ear. It sounded like a teenage voice, but Kyoko couldn't be sure. She tried to scream, to struggle, anything. But, the hand and whatever had wrapped around her were holding her fast and silent.
"We're going to have to deal with you." The voice said softly, seductively, Kyoko feeling something enter her nostrils. It was a strong scent, one that made her instantly feel sleepy. She collapsed in the female's arms, the last thing she saw was a pair of wings and a flash of blue.
Upon her waking
Kyoko's eyes blinked slowly open as she let them glance around the blurry room. Once they adjusted, she could see that she wasn't in her room or at her computer. She tried to move, but she found she was bound with her arms folded behind her, bound at right angles behind the chair she was now sitting in, preventing her from moving them, her legs crossed slightly and bound tightly to the chair. She felt a chill, noticing that she had been stripped of everything save her underwear.
Standing in front of her was a female with very large breasts and blue hair. She looked around Kyoko's own age, but she couldn't be sure. She also noticed she had a large pair of wings that resembled bats', a long pointed tail swishing behind her. She wore a tight leather vest that didn't seem to be able to handle her bust, threatening to break if she moved incorrectly. Fortunately, she wore a white t-shirt under it. Her eyes were a lilac color, staring at Kyoko with a mix of lust and superiority.
Kyoko tried to speak, but she found that a large wad of cloth had been shoved into her mouth and tied there.
"Good." Her voice purred in Kyoko's ears, the bound human shuddering in fear as she recognized the voice as the one who'd kidnapped her and brought her here. "You're awake. Now, I can have my way with you."
Kyoko's eyes widened as she began to struggle in her bindings, but to no avail.
"First let's free up that mouth of yours." The demonic woman said, pulling out the cloths that filled Kyoko's mouth.
"Wh-who are you?" Kyoko asked, the woman giving a sly smirk.
"You're going to call me 'mistress'." She said, cupping Kyoko's chin and leaning in close. Kyoko saw a glint in the woman's eye, causing her to feel… compelled to follow this woman.
"Y-yes…" Kyoko said in a softer tone as a blush formed over her face. "Mistress…"
"You are at least bi-curious." The woman smirked in her seductive tone. "Good. I'll have my fun with you. I'll make you fully mine with one quick kiss—"
As the woman leaned in for the kiss, a bolt of lightning shocked her, throwing her back and shocking Kyoko out of her trance.
"Fraternize with the human later, Kurumu." The voice of the caster said, glaring at the woman, who stood up, getting into a fighting position.
The woman who had spoken looked younger than Kyoko and was dressed in what could be identified as a witch costume. In her hand, which was crossed over her other hand, was a wand looking device that was shaped like a heart at the end. She had short black hair as well as violet eyes, which had anger in them.
"Back off, Yukari!" the woman, Kurumu, said, her wings flapping once as her tail swished in anger. "She's mine."
"You weren't bringing her here to be your sex slave." Yukari said, glaring. "You were supposed to bring her here because she's important."
"Whatever." Kurumu stormed through the door, bumping into Yukari on the way out.
"I-important?" Kyoko asked as Yukari began to remove her bindings with what seemed like magic. "Me? And, who are you? And, why did she have wings and a tail? And, why did that lightning come?"
"Plain and simple" Yukari said in an intellectual tone. "Monsters and magic are real."
"What?!" Kyoko gasped as she fell backwards in the chair, Yukari holding out her hand, Kyoko's motion halting.
"They're real." Yukari nodded. "Don't worry. I promise I'll keep you safe."
"What are you?" Kyoko asked.
"I'm a witch." Yukari said as if it was obvious. "Pointy hat, duh."
"Riiiight." Kyoko said. "But, why would I be kidnapped by monsters?"
"you'll find out the answers you seek." Yukari said. "Trust me. Even if you can't trust even the people Kurumu works for, trust me."
"What?" Kyoko asked as Yukari led her out of the room and into a hallway where she was brought before several beings in the shadows as well as Kurumu and another woman with black hair standing there.
"Kyoko Aono." The one in the center said.
"How do you know my name?" Kyoko asked.
"We have been watching you." The being said. "We wish to have you undertake a… mission for us."
"What is it?" Kyoko asked suspiciously.
"We would like you to handle someone who we see as a threat to our cause." The being said. "We will provide you with the strength you will need."
"And if I refuse?" Kyoko asked.
"Then, you will become an unwilling participant." The being said. "The choice is yours. Tell us though: wouldn't you like to know more about Moka Akashiya, including the truth to her condition?"
"Who are you guys?" Kyoko asked, suspicious.
"Call us Hellsing." The being said.
Who is this mysterious Hellsing and what do they want Kyoko to do? What is there for her to know about Moka (that we already know)? Can she trust this Yukari? Find out soon.
A/N: so, as you can see, i made a small edit to Kurumu's powers. For the sake of this story, Kurumu's Allure can not only affect males, but also females with any sort of homosexual orientation, bisexual orientation, or even a bi-curious nature.
