Moka's eyes shot open and she sprang up to a sitting position, causing the white covers to slide onto her lap. She was breathing heavily and her pupils were dilated. After a while she calmed down and put a hand to her forehead.
'What did I just see?' she thought to herself.
She glanced at the curtains which were closed. Sunlight was shining faintly through them, indicating that it was still day and judging by the amount of light going through it was probably just the afternoon.
After a dream like that not even Moka could go back to sleep. So she got out of bed and dressed in the white Night Class uniform. She brushed her long silver hair and put on black thigh high socks and her black boots.
She took once glance at her reflection and left the room. The hallway was dark and empty. No one would be awake until five in the evening when the sun's rays were weaker. Moka put a hand over her mouth to stifle a yawn and walked down the long spiral staircase.
'Something's coming' Moka thought and quickly turned around to block an attack. Moka punched the attacker with so much force that the punch made him fly into a wall and crash through it.
The man got up from the wreckage, coughed up some blood, and then looked up at Moka. She froze and stared.
"Hello, Moka san" Tsukune said with a sinister smirk.
"Tsukune! What the hell has happened to you?" Moka yelled.
Tsukune laughed. "Aren't you happy to see me, Moka san? Can't you fell that I have finally become your equal?"
Moka's eyes narrowed. "You could never be equal to a high born vampire like me!" she shouted angrily. "Now tell me who has turned you!"
"Why none other then the broad chairman himself" Tsukune said with a sickening laugh. "Who thought that out of all people it would be him!" Tsukune then began to laugh uncontrollably.
Moka lunged at him and aimed a powerful kick to his stomach. He blocked it with his right arm and punched her down into the floor. The ground cracked from the impact and created a huge crater. Moka laid there for a second and quickly sprang to her feet. She wiped the blood off of the corner of her mouth and glared at Tsukune with glowing blood red eyes.
"Why have you done this to yourself?" she asked.
"So that I can be with you" he answered in a whisper. For a moment his eyes turned from their red color to the pure brown it was before and then it flashed back to red.
'It's obvious, he has lost his mind' Moka thought with remorse, 'And it's all my fault.'
Flashback
"Let me help you!" Tsukune cried as he looked at Moka's blood stained face with concern.
"No, you are too weak" she said and aimed a powerful kick to her opponent. The monster flew through a tree and skidded to a halt.
"But I can help!" Tsukune protested.
"No!" Moka's eyes flashed, "This will be the last time I ever hear this from you. A high born vampire like me has no need for human trash assistance."
Hurt was reflected in Tsukune's eyes. Moka ignored it and ran after the monster, moving the fight to another area to keep Tsukune safe.
"She's right" Kurumu said as she struggled to stand. Tsukune took her by the waist and put her arm around his shoulder to support her weight. Her face had a bruise and some blood on it. Her clothes were torn and her wings ripped.
"You will only hurt yourself. You best leave the fighting to us" she said as gently as she could, "I couldn't bare to see you hurt." Tears were shinning in her eyes and then she blacked out.
"Kurumu!" Tsukune called and tried to shake her awake, but to no avail she lay in a deep slumber. Although to Tsukune's
she was still breathing.
After that day Moka transferred out of Yokai Academy due to her father thinking that she was becoming too concerned for Tsukune. After Moka left Tsukune received a letter from her father telling him to stay away from her. "I will find a way to be with you" he vowed.
Back to the Present
"You are an idiot! Did you think I would accept you like this?"
"I am stronger then you now, I don't need you to accept me. I could force myself on you!" Tsukune shouted.
Moka watched in horror as the familiar tattoos of Tsukune's ghoul form appeared on his neck and snaked up to his cheek.
"Tsukune..." Moka murmured, "You have become a ghoul."
"Don't leave me...Moka san..." He said in a whisper and then collapsed on the ground. The tattoos on his neck disappeared and his hair returned to it's normal brown color. Moka walked slowly to his side. Her footsteps echoed around the dorm with a clack clack sound.
She bent down and checked his pulse. 'Still breathing' She thought. She quickly picked him up like a damsel in distress and took him to her room. She laid him on her bed and watched him for a moment.
'I can't let Kaname find him' she suddenly thought, 'but he has probably already smelled his scent.'
A thought suddenly popped into Moka's mind and she opened the first drawer of her nightstand. She picked up the one thing in it which contained a small address book. She placed it on her desk and sat down.
Quickly, she thumbed through the pages and found the number she was looking for. Moka flipped open her cellphone and dialed the number. Four rings, no answer. Finally a perky voice on the other end of the line said "Hello!"
"Kurumu" Moka said.
"Moka? Damn it I thought it was Tsukune. I wasted my best voice on you!" she whined.
Moka couldn't help but roll her eyes. "Listen, there is a situation. Come to Cross Academy immediately if you want to see Tsukune." Moka then hung up before Kurumu could say anything more to waste her time.
Moka then looked at the number under Kurumu's and dialed it.
"Hello?" A frosty voice answered on the first ring.
"Mizori, I need your help" Moka said hesitantly.
"..."
"Well are you up for it?"
"..."
"It has to do with Tsukune" Moka said knowing that would make her say yes. And true to her thought...
"Ok" she replied.
"Come to Cross Academy" Moka commanded and then hung up.
Moka sighed and glanced at Tsukune who was fast asleep on her bed. He looked peaceful and that angered Moka. She slammed her fist on the table. The address book and her phone flew up into the air for a couple of seconds and then landed back on her desk with a thump.
Fuming and needing air Moka left the room with the calmest face she could put on.
Moka breathed in deeply once she was outside. It was about two in the afternoon now and everyone was asleep despite the noise she and Tsukune had made. After a while of silent thinking Moka went back into her room to check on Tsukune.
The girls should be arriving tomorrow and he will be off of her hands. Although Moka had feelings for him she had to let him go. She now had Kaname and it was her responsibility to bridge the gap between the two vampire races. The only way that would happen is if the pair successfully marry and conceive a child.
Tsukune still remained in asleep but not as deeply as before. Fearing that he would wake up and go berserk again Moka opened the second drawer of her nightstand and took out a needle full of tranquilizer. She always kept some with her just in case.
In a normal situation she would have just knock the person out. But that one part of her had a soft spot for Tsukune and didn't want to hurt him unnecessary. Moka injected the fluid into his system and placed the needle on top of the nightstand. She would have to get a refill if necessary.
Looking at her wall clock she realized that class would start soon and Kaname would be expecting her now that he was awake. She left the room and locked the door behind her .
"Good evening, Ayishaka san" said a warm voice.
Moka turned around and said, "Good evening, Ichijo sempai."
He smiled warmly at her. "Would you like to walk to class together?" he asked.
"Sure" she said and walked beside him.
They descended down the stairs and into the common room. Shiki and Rima were sitting together on the couch while eating pocky.
"Good evening, Ichijo" they both said in a monotonous unison.
"Good evening Shiki, Rima" he said with his signature warm smile.
'This guy is just too bright and human like' Moka thought in slight annoyance.
"Come on Ayishaka san!" he said and latched on to her right wrist.
"Hey!" she protested as he pulled her outside into the evening sunlight.
"Shall we go? Kaname is waiting for you" he said.
Moka crossed her arms and said "I can get there myself."
"He specifically said that I should escort you" Ichijo protested.
Seeing as he wouldn't give up, Moka allowed him to escort her to the class room before the day class girls came out screaming. With ease they got into the school building and into the designated classroom.
Ichijo opened and closed the door for Moka and then left her to Kaname.
The room was filled with the evening sun. Kaname sat alone at one of the desks while twirling a red rose. Moka sat next to him and stared at his face. He pulled her onto his lap and stroked her long silvery-white hair.
She sat there and enjoyed his feather light touch. "Is there something you want to tell me?" he asked.
Moka's deep red eyes shot wide open in shock. Feeling her mistake she quickly calmed down and her eyes returned to their normal shape.
"Yes, actually a friend of mine is visiting. Would you mind giving him a room until Kurumu and Mizori come to pick him up?"
The truth was always better then lying to Kaname. Because in the end he always seemed to win. Kaname paused as he told her this and then resumed.
"If he is a friend of yours then he his welcome. I will ask the headmaster" Kaname said calmly.
Moka's eyes narrowed in suspicion. 'He's not curious about Tsukune at all?' Then it occurred to her, 'he is Kaname which means he probably knows everything by now.'
