R+V Parents to Vampire ch 7 This was not a victory.
Tsukune frowned as he slammed the blond noble onto the ground. six black unmarked vans pulled out onto the beach sands and several vampires all dressed in dark black suits jumped out.
"Sir!" One of the vampires shouted as he spotted a small child ghoul whom had escaped the collapse of Marin inn and was now rushing toward Tsukune. The vampire rushed forward and slammed its fist into the ghoul rendering it unconscious.
Six vampires began to lift a large black box the inside of which was covered in silver stakes out of one of the vans. Tsukune placed the injured noble into the box and slammed the lid shut.
The vampire began to howl and scream as the stakes impaled his body as they sucked the blood from his body forcing him into a coma. The six vampires then loaded the box into one of the vans, while another group of vampires began searching the area for any remaining ghouls who might have survived and thus needed to be captured.
"Take him away!" Tsukune snapped.
Marin stared at the pile of burning ruble that was her inn and cried as Gin in his human form, along with the rest of the werewolf council, cradled Sun in his arms doing his best to comfort her.
Tsukune nodded to one of the vampires in the group. He in turn returned to the group of vampires who were still searching.
Several flashing lights of red and blue along with several sirens were blaring in the distance as police and firemen got close to investigate the fire.
"Great. Let me handle this." Tsukune muttered as Kyoko tossed her weapons into the nearest black van and tried to look nonchalant.
Tsukune walked up and quickly closed his eyes as he waved his hand near the man's face.
"This was a violent act of arson that burned down a local inn. It couldn't be saved." His whispered as he concentrated.
"This was…..an act of arson that…burned a inn down." The police man muttered as if half asleep be was really getting his mind charmed and glamored over by Tsukune.
Tsukune opened his eyes as he lowered his hand allowing a look of near exhaustion to overtake him.
"Oh thank you Akasha sama for teaching me that. I am in for a long night." Tsukune muttered.
Akasha Bloodriver walked down the halls of the vast mansion as she thought upon the revelation that she had just discovered concerning her beloved daughter Moka.
"I must tell Issa about this, but-"
"But what Akasha?" A sweet voice like poisoned honey asked.
Akasha turned and kept her expression neutral upon facing the blond vampiress with a small cross in her hair.
"Gyokure. What are you doing here?" Akasha asked her voice betraying none of the rage she was feeling on the inside as she kept her voice even.
Gyokure Shuzen smiled at Akasha warmly though she wished the pink haired vampiress nothing but ill will.
"I came here to talk to Issa, the same as you. Though I meant to make this a quick trip it seems that recent news and events have unfortunately forced me to…..extend my visit longer then necessary. I was hoping that you and Moka would be leaving before my arrival if not sooner but alas not. I find it annoying that I must endure having you and your daughter here longer than I find that I can take."
Though Gyokure said nothing openly hostile toward Moka nor herself Akasha could tell the cold loathing beneath Gyokure's words.
"I would have loved to take Moka and leave the mansion before you and Kahula arrived but however I too found myself bound by certain….Circumstances that also forced me to stay longer than I wish too." Akasha said with a hint of tenseness in her voice.
"Tell me what your pet Tsukune Aono is he planning? I happen to know that he is engaged in certain…activities, activities that the vampire council and the elders would consider grounds for treason. Also just so you know the penalty for treason is death Akasha."
"I don't' have time to listen to you right now Gyokure." Akasha snapped as she felt Gyokure dark youki behind her.
"Akasha I won't allow the house of Shuzen to be dragged down in the eyes of the nobles by anything you and your two other friends are up too…..Tell me what is Mikogami and Touhou Fuhai up too. I know that the three of you often work together….and I also know that Tsukune Aono a vampire whom no one can find anything about is involved. The boy is a credit to you and your friends cunning and guile. But I will find out what he is up to. After all we both know that the boy has been very busy butchering my men like so many chickens to slaughter."
Akasha smiled as she let out a small laugh.
"Gyokure it isn't my fault that Fairy Tale has been experiencing a rash of deaths within its ranks. Besides its not my fault that you can't keep your own men from killing each other." Akasha said quickly keeping her eyes locked with Gyokure.
"I am not speaking of a few mindless brawls by a few weak low level monsters Akasha. I have had division after division slaughtered and the headquarters raised to the ground in China and Japan. I know you and your friends have something to do with it. More over I have heard rumors of another group comprised of youki who have sprung up to take the place of Fairy Tales influence.
They have already conquered the U.S, Japan, China, Australia, most of France, and Germany. Then its been rumored to have started expanding into South America and Africa as well.
Moreover I have also heard rumors that several youki whom were all on the verge of extinction are now making a slow comeback from the endangered species list. The boarder beings, the yuki-onna and the succubi for instance.
Six years ago the council estimates that there were a few hundred left and that most of them would be dead within the next few centuries but now they are mysteriously starting to make a comeback after swearing allegiance to this origination that I can't find anything about. Also an event that I find even more disturbing is that the exiled vampires the filth who dare sully their blood with the blood of human filth are all coming together under a new leader.
As you know they normally live secluded lives away from humans however it seems that something rather drastic has taken place for something has changed. The numbers of the exiled dishonored ones number in mere few hundred at most.
However now the council estimates that there are now a few thousand of them leaving in the human world and you know as well as I do that all of this makes the council worried especially with the death of the elder. The more vampires and youki in general there are living in the human world the more chances there are that the humans will discover us, and the council likes it that the humans believe that we do not exist."
If Akasha was worried she didn't show it as she lifted up her head in a regal manor as she turned away.
"Rumors are not proof Gyokure." Akasha smirked as she turned away from Gyokure only for the blond vampire to leap forward and slam her fist into a small section of wall where Akasha was standing. Akasha's red dress twirled as she flipped in the air and avoided Gyokure attack while landing gracefully in the tips of her toes in a display of her skill in fighting.
"Rumors are not proof Gyokure remember that. Anyway I have no more time to waist with you Gyokure. Now you, Kahula and Kokoa will have the mansion to yourselves in a few days. Moka and I will be leaving soon. I've arranged for Moka to be married to a nice boy in a simple marriage for political reasons and Moka will have to learn to love him if she doesn't. I will be taking Moka to see her husband and his family soon. All I am doing now is going to tell Issa that Moka and I will be leaving in a few days, not that its' any of your business, which it is not." Akasha said coldly as she swept past Gyokure and down the hall to where Issa's study.
"Just what are you planning Akasha?" Gyokure hissed as she narrowed her eyes as she let them fallow her revel's retreating form.
Akasha strolled down the hallways till she got to a large oak door.
She knocked twice and not waiting for a reply she opened the door and saw Issa sitting at his desk wearing the same large black jacket and vest on that he had worn to the council meeting earlier.
Right now the council was enjoying the hospitality of the Shuzen household before convening again the next night.
"Issa, we need to talk." Akasha said as she inwardly struggled to keep herself calm. The discussion with Gyokure had told Akasha a great deal of what Gyokure knew or at least suspected that she thought she knew.
'Gyokure doesn't know anything. Of the whole of Tsukune's plan she knows just small bits and pieces. She won't stop Tsukune. He's determined and reinvested in it. But it doesn't matter. Now that I know what she thinks she knows I can get Tsukune to proceed to the third stage now. I just hope that Issa appreciates this.'Akasha thought.
Issa looked up and frowned at Akasha for interrupting him.
"Akasha what do you want? I am busy now with the council here. I know a few of them are plotting against me."
"Issa I have to talk to you about Moka."
"Moka what is wrong? When Akuha brought her here she was just a sleep. Has something else happened to her?" Issa asked his voice betraying a hint of concern for his middle daughter.
Akasha paused for a moment as she tried to figure out how best to phrase the current situation.
"Issa do you remember how happy you were when you found out that I was pregnant with Moka and how happy you were to be a father?"
Issa nodded his head.
"Well Issa how would you get the chance to be grandfather?"Akasha paused unsure of how Issa would react to her question.
Issa raised an eyebrow while his frown deepened.
"What do you mean Akasha?"
"Well Issa I am saying that Moka is pregnant. That was the reason that Akuha found her passed out. She was just suffering a small lack of blood that's all."
"Akasha you are saying that Moka is pregnant?" Issa said his voice tensing up.
"Yes Issa. But don't worry I felt the baby's youki and you will be happy to know that it's a pureblood. Its not like Moka got pregnant with a lower beings child like saw a werewolf for instance."
Issa narrowed his eyes as the shock and his fatherly protective nature began to wash over him.
"I see so who is the boy that has earned my displeasure and whom I have to kill." Issa hissed.
"Issa it isn't like that." Akasha said quickly trying to sooth Issa's worries that Moka had been knocked up by a common boy.
"I have met the boy that is responsible for this, so to speek. Moka has chosen wisely for herself. He cares for her deeply and he has significant considerable influence in the youki world as well as in the human world."
If Akasha was expecting her lover Issa to be impressed by her words she was sorely mistaken for he scowled as he swiped the pile of paper from his desk as he got up and made for the door in fit of shock and anger.
"Your words mean nothing Akasha. Do you know how many young nobles could come before me and say the same thing. I will question Moka about this myself." Issa snapped.
"No Issa! I have spoken to Moka about this and there are certain things that women should talk to other women about."
"What are you saying? Are you saying that I would be insensitive to Moka's plight?"
"I am saying Issa that I am the best one qualified to talk to my own daughter about this, considering both Moka and I can both shop at Victoria's Secret. Beside when was the last time you experienced childbirth?" Akasha snapped back.
Akasha smiled upon seeing Issa pause briefly at her statement.
"I thought not Issa," Akasha laid a hand upon Issa's shoulder in a small gesture of comfort. "I know what she is going through. Moka is my daughter and I will help her though this. Besides the closest thing a man can go through to experience child birth is passing a kidney stone and even then the day a man passes a nine pound kidney stone then he can talk. As I said I have spoken to Moka about this."
"Akasha the boy-"
"The boy's name is Tsukune Aono. He is Mikogami's godson of sorts. After I spoke to Moka I talked to Mikogami himself in great detail about the boy. Mikogami has a certain fondness for him you might say. Mikogami said that he has often thought of Tsukune as the son he never had. I trust that he doesn't say such things lightly Issa.
From what Mikogami has told me about Tsukune he said that Tsukune met Moka at Youki Academy and protected her when she went there, which confirms much of what Moka told me about him. Mikogami even sent me several reports detailing what Tsukune was doing for him. Tsukune is strong in his own right.
From what Mikogami said about Tsukune he said that Tsukune's blood is special even among vampires. He said that if the other nobles and lords knew what was so special about Tsukune's blood they would send many emissaries to try to get their hands on him. Mikogami said that he was hoping to use Tsukune into securing an alliance to a powerful vampire house with him and it was out of respect for me that he was willing to give me the option first."
'I see so Akasha confirmed some of what Mikogami told me. Humm. I boy could perhaps be of some use to me. However I do not impress easily and I will not allow just anyone to join my family, even if he has Mikogami's and Akasha's vote of confidence regardless.'Issa thought.
"Issa I approve of Tsukune and Mikogami approves of him as well. I am certain that he will impress you if given a chance."
Akasha watched Issa closely as if she herself could see the wheels in Issa's head turning.
"Very well. Akasha arrange for the mansion to be empty I want this dealt with quietly. Have Mikogami bring the boy before me and I will see if he is worthy of joining this family and of Moka." Issa let out a brief huff as he left his office and went down to the main party hall.
Akasha smiled to herself as she walked quickly down the halls to Moka's room.
Moka opened her eyes and looked around her darkened room. Seeing that her mother had put her cell phone on the night stand by her bed Moka quickly reached out and grabbed it.
Flicking it open she dialed Tsukune's number hoping to be able to speak to him, only to feel her heart sink when she heard his voice mail.
Seeing no other choice she left a message.
"Tsukune its Moka...Listen when you get this message please call me I need to talk to you its important. Also I wanted to let you know that when you get back I'm not at the apartment. Akuha picked me up and took me to the mansion, because father wanted to have a talk with me." Moka paused a moment fighting the nervousness she was feeling.
"Tsukune please when you get this message call me then have Bus Driver sama take you to the mansion, he'll know where it is. Tsukune I miss you and I love you. So please call me back as soon as you get this message please."
Moka flipped her phone shut. The pink haired vampiress swallowed as she began to get up and get dressed.
Hello everyone! I hope that all of you liked this chapter. As always review please.
Cheers Dogsfang
