Except for their first dance, the wedding reception was a bit of a drag for Tsukune and Moka. Tsukune just wanted to be alone with her and he could tell from the look in her eyes that she felt the same way. When it was finally over Moka tossed the bouquet and all the girls scrambled for it. The next couple of seconds weren't pretty and there wasn't a satisfactory outcome because all the girls had gotten a portion of the bouquet. Tsukune was eager to get out of his suit, even though the wedding was over it made him sweat like an animal in a Chinese restaurant. Moka's father had made the arrangements for their honeymoon, and they were traveling in a private jet. Now that they were alone Moka gave Tsukune a big kiss.

"We're happily married!" she exclaimed.

"You haven't told me where we're going."

"I don't want to spoil the surprise. You'll find out in six hours."

"Six hours?"

"Yes six hours, so I suggest we get some sleep."

Tsukune couldn't believe how cute Moka looked in a plain white sleeveless night dress. It was awfully tempting, but Tsukune knew she wasn't looking to "get down to business" just yet. I mean whoever heard of a pair of newlyweds having their first time on a plane?

"Tsukune?"

"Nothing it's just… You look so beautiful Moka…"

"Tsukune…"

"Moka…"

"Tsukune…"

"Moka…"

"Tsukune… I… I… I think I need a little late night snack."

"Moka?"

"It's been such a long day… Just a little… please?"

"Well… If you must."

"I love you Tsukune! KAPU-CHUU!"

Tsukune spent the night dreaming about how wonderful his new life with Moka was going to be. But just as it was getting to the good part…

"Rise and shine sleepy head! We'll be landing shortly."

The sun was shining very brightly through the windows of the plane.

"The sun is out already?"

Tsukune looked at his watch.

"It's only two in the morning."

"Actually thanks to the change in time zones it's 7:00 AM yesterday."

"Yesterday?"

"Japan is a whole nineteen hours ahead of Hawaii."

"Hawaii?"

Indeed Moka's father had spared no expense. When they landed Moka revealed to Tsukune that they'd actually be staying at a small island off the coast of the mainland, a place where they could be alone together.

"Wow… All alone on a tropical island with the woman you love… This is every boy's dream."

It was a short boat ride to the island. When they arrived Tsukune and Moka found that everything had been prepared for them. They also found an ornately wrapped present sitting on the bed. Moka looked at the card and recognized her father's handwriting.

Your mother wanted you to have this when you were old enough.

She'd be very proud of you

Use it well

"Moka?"

"Mother…"

Tsukune couldn't imagine what it must've been like for Moka to have gone through her wedding day without her mother there to see it, but he knew it was probably best to change the subject.

"So… What do you think it is?"

"Well… Only one way to find out."

Moka unwrapped the present and took the lid off the box.

"Holy cow!"

Inside was a red gemstone bigger than any Tsukune had ever seen before.

"Oh my god…" said Moka taking the gem in her hands "They do exist."

"Giant rubies?"

"This isn't a ruby Tsukune… It's a diamond."

"You're kidding me, a red diamond?"

"And not just any red diamond… It's Princess Elizabeth's."

"Who is Princess Elizabeth?"

"I… I thought it was just a legend… It was my favorite bedtime story… Mother read it to me all the time… But this proves it really happened."

"That what happened?"

"It's just an old fairy tale."

"Not if what you say is true. Do you remember it?"

"In three languages."

Tsukune and Moka sat down in the living room.

"It was a long time ago, back when vampires were only allowed to love other vampires. There was a Romanian vampire princess named Elizabeth, and her most prized possessions were a collection of colored diamonds. Although she had unparalleled beauty and everything her heart desired, the princess was very lonely. One day when she was out looking for… well… for food… she came upon a young peasant boy… she loved the taste of his blood so much she kept him like a pet. It wasn't long before the princess realized she was in love with him, and the boy didn't care that she drank his blood because he was spellbound by her beauty."

"Sounds like someone I know." thought Tsukune.

"One day their mutual affection was discovered by Elizabeth's father the King. Vampires were only allowed to love other vampires, anything else was an abomination, and here he had found his daughter in love with a mere human… He was very angry."

"What did he do?"

"He killed him…"

"He did what?"

"To silence his daughter's shame and his own he killed him, but he didn't count on how much she loved him. She took his body and ran. Using her knowledge of magic she tired absolutely everything to revive him, but nothing worked. Just when she was ready to give up the answer came to her. If she couldn't bring him back, then she would create someone who could."

"What?"

"She took his body to an island somewhere that had a special clay that didn't exist anywhere else in the world. Using the clay, her knowledge of magic, and the diamonds that had until recently been the most important things in her life, she created Zurana."

"Zurana?"

"Her name means dragon of love. She was a beautiful dragon that Elizabeth had given the power to grant three wishes. For her first wish she wished that her beloved would be resurrected. For her second wish she asked that he would live as long as she would, and finally she wished that the island would remain a safe haven from anyone who would interfere with their love. After the third wish Zurana returned to the core of the island's volcano to sleep in peace, and Elizabeth's diamonds were scattered to the winds, but she didn't care because she had her true love back. Her father searched and searched but never found her, and as the years passed he fell into despair, until finally the law that allowed vampires to only marry other vampires was abolished, then and only then did Elizabeth return with her husband and their newborn baby. The end."

Tsukune would have asked Moka if she just made the whole thing up, but she said her mother used to tell it to her as a bed time story, and that would just make her angry.

"A giant dragon that can grant wishes? That sounds a lot like Dragon Ball."

"What's Dragon Ball?"

"It's a TV show… Actually I got a couple season DVDs we could watch… Unless you know something better we could do…"

"It's our first day as a married couple." said Moka smiling "We don't have to do anything. You get the living room set up… I'll be right there."

"Get the living room set up? I just need to unpack my DVDs, it's not rocket science."

It obviously didn't take long for Tsukune to unpack his DVDs, but that was all Moka needed to get her little surprise ready.

"Aloha."

Tsukune almost had a nosebleed when he saw Moka come in dressed as a hula dancer, skirt and all.

"Do you like it?"

"Words fail me… By which I mean yes."

Tsukune knew there was no way he'd be able to stare at the TV for the foreseeable future.

Moka thought Goku was just plain adorable. Eventually they gave the DVDs a rest and went swimming as soon as Moka had finished purifying the water in the pool with herbs. After dinner they returned to the DVDs to see Shenron summoned for the first time. Moka laughed when Oolong used the wish to get a pair of underwear. She was surprised by how similar it was to Princess Elizabeth's legend.

"Maybe it's just a coincidence." said Moka.

"I know I brought it up, but I don't really care. One thing though… You said that after that vampires were allowed to love whomever they pleased, so why did I have to fight your father for our engagement to be valid?"

"Prejudices take time to overcome, America is proof of that. Most vampires don't care who their son marries, but many are very protective of their daughters."

"I can understand being protective, but having an actual law limiting who they're allowed to marry is a little over the top."

"I don't think it will last much longer… I overheard father the other day thinking that maybe we do have too many rules."

Tsukune looked at the red diamond Moka had received.

"I guess we should be grateful to Princess Elizabeth… If not for her I don't think we'd ever be together."

"Tsukune…"

"Moka…"

"Tsukune…"

"Moka…"

"Tsu-ku-ne…"

Moka's face was turning completely pink, and she was having one of those looks on her face.

"Moka, do you want to suck my blood again?"

"No… It's not about sucking blood today… "

"What then?"

"It's just that I… I…"

Moka closed her eyes and had her arms crossed like she was trying to restrain herself.

"Moka?"

"I… I…I… I can't bear it any longer!"

"Holy flurking shnit!"

Before Tsukune knew it Moka had torn all her clothes off and had pinned him to the bed, and he was doing his best to keep his manhood from shooting through his pants like a bullet and to keep blood from gushing out of his nose like a waterfall.

"Please give it to me Tsukune… I want it now!"

Tsukune said what any sane man would say in a situation like this.

"Your wish is my command."
