Chapter 7: The Assassin…Part 1
"Hey Moka!" Yuki said happily.
"Hi Yuki! Where is Zero?" Moka asked.
"He is staying in his room, he is feeling sick today…"
"Oh, should we go see him?"
"I don't think he will let us in… I tried to go in and he kicked me out…"
Moka stayed silent and nodded, they both walked around the school grounds talking about their lives, Zero, the school, vampires, and humans. Moka was extremely interested in a band Yuki was talking to her about; an American band.
"These people sound interesting!" Moka said. "I've never listened to American music!"
"Oh, they are pretty good! Lots of them are!" Yuki said happily.
They both skipped duty and class and went straight to Yuki's room. They grabbed a radio she had under her bed and turned it on. She placed a CD in the radio and played the music; both smiled and rocked their heads to it. It was Moka's first time hearing American music and she loved it.
"So who are these people?" Moka asked in interest.
"They are called…" Yuki said, looking at the CD case, "My Chemical Romance."
"That doesn't sound really… Good… Sounds like something bad…" Moka said.
"Well, American bands have really weird names and lots of them sing about their lives and such."
"Really?"
"Yes!"
Both continued to listen to the band and before they knew it, almost an hour had gone by and Zero came running into the room looking very sick and angry. He walked over to Yuki and made her stand up.
"What are you doing?!" Zero asked angrily.
"We're just listening to music…" Yuki said.
"We're sorry, we should be doing our work!" Moka said.
"I don't care about school work; Yuki, someone entered the Moon Dorm and nearly killed all of the night class students!"
"What?!" Yuki and Moka both yelled in question.
Everyone ran to the dorm and found everyone hurt and bleeding badly. They looked as if they were fighting and were beaten horribly. Everyone was there except Kaname and Kokoa; Yuki quickly ran up to the top floor and slammed open the door to Kaname's room. There stood a beautiful woman who had tan skin, light blonde hair, and resembled Moka. Her arm was a batwing, sharp as razors and covered in blood.
"Who… Who are you?" Yuki asked.
Kaname stood back with a wound in his shoulder and the woman turned and walked over to Yuki who was in shock and scared to her figure. The woman was crying and Yuki was confused; she charged at Yuki and swung her razor sharp wing towards Yuki who was knocked down by Kaname's blast.
"Kaname!" Yuki yelled as she hit the ground, blades barely missing her.
The woman was crying deeply and went after Kaname, she slashed her arm and Kaname dodged. She twirled, slashing again, hitting Kaname with the back of her wing, sending him flying into the wall. Kaname used his powers and tried to crush her body, it was useless considering she is four times his power and can cut through his powers.
"Kaname Kiryu, where is Moka Akashiya…" The woman said crying.
"Why do you continue to ask? I will not answer to you…" Kaname said still holding onto his arm.
Zero ran into the room and saw the woman standing over Kaname and he whipped out his pistol and shot at the woman. She was penetrated in the arm, but recovered quickly, which was unusual since he used an anti-vampire gun. She turned over to him and in tears walked over to him.
He shot, bullet after bullet and no harm was being done to her. When she reached Zero, she slowly brought her blades up to his chin and slowly rubbed it against jaw, up and down. Zero punched her across the face, causing her to stagger down. She got up and slashed upwards, slicing the side of his face in three ways.
"Ah!" Zero yelled.
Moka stood outside the door watching, she knew who that woman was and was terrified. The woman with the batwing blades was Moka's older sister, Kahlua Shuzen. Kahlua licked the blades that were covered in Zero's blood; she wanted more, yet she didn't want it…
"Moka Akashiya… Where is she halfling?" Kahlua asked in tears.
"I won't tell you where she is…" Zero said looking over at Moka, hoping she would leave.
"Very well…" Kahlua said as she lifted her blade into the air to kill Zero.
"Stop!" Moka said in tears.
"Sister…" Kahlua said as she turned.
"Stop it, stop hurting my friends!" Moka screamed.
"Moka, come with me back home… Mother wants you…"
"No, I'm staying here!"
"I was assigned to bring you back and if you refuse… To kill you…" Kahlua said in tears, not wanting to kill her sister.
"Fine then I guess we will fight…" Moka said, trying to prepare herself in an awkward stance.
"Moka, I… I don't wanna kill you…"
"Please, just leave us alone…" Moka said.
"Hey, what's going on…?" Kokoa came in saying and stopped in fear when seeing her sister. "Kahlua…"
"Kokoa…" Kahlua said.
When everyone was distracted, Kaname used his powers and trapped Kahlua onto the floor. She was only there for a short period of time before she broke out and slashed Kaname across the chest, bashing him through the wall and out of the dorm. Zero took the opportunity to attack and started to blast as much as he could. She became injured and wasn't healing so quickly this time.
"Ah!" Kahlua screamed.
Moka ran to her and kicked her through the same hole she threw him into. Zero followed her out and jumped, as did Moka and Yuki. Kaname was still on the ground injured, Kahlua was getting up and Zero started to let off a series of bullets. A cloud of smoke was all that was left and Zero sat down and dropped his gun.
"Insane vampires…" Zero said to himself.
Moka looked at the smoke and said, "Get up! I know that wasn't enough to kill her!"
"What?!" Everyone asked, except Kaname who was still injured.
The smoke cleared and Kahlua walked ahead, the second earring she had on was gone and she looked much more fearsome than ever. Her eyes were filled with tears and knew she had to kill her sister. Kokoa jumped through the hole and landed in front of everyone.
"What are you doing here?!" Kokoa asked angrily.
"It is none of your concern Kokoa…" Kahlua said.
"Why?! Why is it none of my concern?!" Kokoa asked, starting to tear up.
"I'm sorry…" Kahlua said as she back handed Kokoa across the face.
Kahlua went after Zero and he picked up his gun; she slashed it out of his hands and twirled, slashing him across the face again. Zero took off onto the ground and slid; Kahlua looked over to Yuki who had Artemis out and was ready to fight.
"As a guardian of this school, I will protect my fellow students and this school!" Yuki said.
Kahlua appeared in front of her and swung her arm up and slashed down onto her. Yuki blocked it and spun around using the back ends of the Artemis rod, hitting the blades and Kahlua's face. The ends of the rod shocked Kahlua and she angrily swiped again, staggering Yuki and knocking her to the ground.
"Uh!" Yuki grunted as she landed on the ground on her butt.
Kahlua approached her and said, "If Moka would have come with me, you all wouldn't be dying right now…"
Moka brought one arm to her side and used her other arm and struck Kahlua across the face, knocking her to the ground. Moka looked over to Zero who was bleeding badly and his vampire powers weren't healing him.
"Zero, you are going to die, drink my blood!" Moka said as she revealed her neck to him.
"No, I won't do it…" Zero said stubbornly.
"Please, we need you now!" Moka yelled.
Zero went to drink her blood, but she was kicked down by Kahlua. As she was kicked, Zero went to reach for her neck, but instead grabbed the rosary…
When the rosary seal on her breast is removed, Moka's vampire blood is awakened. Her bust and butt have grown mature; her hair went from light pink to snow, cold, white, silver. Her eyes from green to red, she was now her inner self.
"Kahlua, nice to see you again…" Inner Moka said as she stood up, facing her with her arms on her hips.
"Moka, come with me…" Kahlua said.
"Not a chance!" Inner Moka yelled as she ran forward and kicked upwards.
Kahlua blocked her kick with one arm, sliding back due to the power used in her kick. Moka went for another kick and landed it on the side of Kahlua's arm, sending her flying to the side and onto the ground. Moka walked over her and picked her up, "Leave this school now if you want to live…"
Kahlua pushed Moka off her and stood up; she slammed her blade into the ground and ran towards Moka. Moka quickly got up and attempted to dodge, but was too late; the blade came so fast and it was going to cut through her. Zero jumped and pushed her out of the way. Sparks flew into the air as her blade collided with Zero.
"Zero!" Moka and Yuki yelled.
"Eh… Erm…" Zero grunted.
The blade missed him by an inch. The gun he was holding onto his chest stopped the blade from going any further. He sweeped her and placed the gun onto her forehead, "Any last words?"
"If you kill me… My mother will go after you…" Kahlua said, still crying.
"I guess we will see what happens when she comes…" Zero said.
A split second before the trigger was pulled; she moved aside and shoved her blades into Zero's side, piercing his lung and some organs. His blood quickly poured down from his side and down her blade. His eyes said it all as he was stunned and shocked in pain.
"Uh…" Zero grunted as he slowly fell to his knees, blade still in his side.
"Zero no!" Moka and Yuki yelled.
Kaname was surprised and shocked to see Zero being impaled like this. Kaname used his powers and threw her into the wall, detaching the blades from Zero. Yuki ran to him and carried him up. Moka was even in tears to see him being in this situation.
"Zero… Take my blood…" Inner Moka said as she offered herself to him.
Zero slowly reached upwards to bite her, but fell back down and closed his eyes. Yuki cried and looked up at Moka, "Is… Is he dead?" Moka shook her head and replied, "No, he is barely breathing, we need to bring him to safety."
"Moka, this will be entirely difficult to do with your sister attacking us all like this…" Kaname said, limping his way to them.
"I will take him, you guys keep fighting!" Yuki said.
"What if she reaches to you?" Kaname asked.
"I trust you guys… You will beat her and Zero will live!" Yuki said happily with tears in her eyes.
Yuki grabbed Zero and put him onto her back slightly, she used her Artemis rod as a way to help keep him up on her. She began to jog away; Kahlua got up and wiped her white dress off, she looked over at the remaining three vampires left to battle. Moka, Kaname, and Kokoa; who had just gotten up.
"We must strategize to beat her…" Kaname said.
"Holy water is her weakness…" Inner Moka said.
"I see… Holy water, an old vampire's enemy… If Yuki is to return on time, we can send her off once more to bring us holy water…"
"I agree… Let us hope Zero lives…" Inner Moka said.
"Let's get her guys!" Kokoa said, transforming her bat into a katana.
Everyone looked down ahead at the immensely strong vampire and was not only in fear of fighting her, but was not well prepared to do so. They needed the holy water and had to wait for the return of Yuki and possibly Zero. Kahlua stared at them with tears and slashed her arm out, revealing her blades, sharpened and stronger.
"Moka, I am sorry for doing this, Kokoa… you too… I love you both…" Kahlua said as she charged forward and slashed her blade.
Kaname snapped his fingers as a wave of powerful wind hit her, Moka ran in and kicked her in the gut and spun around her, and Kokoa came in with her sword and thrusted forward. Kahlua barely missed the blade and grabbed onto the handle of it, she used her blades and placed it onto Kokoa's shoulder and sliced down, cutting her arm.
"AH!" Kokoa screamed.
Kaname used his powers and threw her back onto the ground. Kokoa jumped back to Kaname and waited behind him. Kahlua got up and Moka flew in with her fist, her older sister ducked and grabbed onto Moka, having her roll of and slamming her onto the ground. Moka slowly got up, but was kicked onto the ground.
"Gah!" Inner Moka screamed.
She tried to get up again, but had the wing blades shoved through her arm and pierced her onto the ground. Kaname appeared behind her to attack, but was dodged and backhanded across the face with her blade still stuck into Moka.
Kokoa came in once more and thrusted forward with her blade and missed again. Kahlua took the blade out of Moka's arm and turned around, slashing Kokoa across the chest, cutting her shirt.
"Hey!" Kokoa screamed.
Kahlua walked slowly over to her and in tears she said, "Kokoa I love you, your father loves… Mother saw you as a weakling and wanted me to kill you… But I couldn't… Please understand now that this is only business…"
"How could you! Why would you kill your own sister?!" Kokoa yelled in tears.
"Yuki, Zero?! What happened?!" Kaien asked.
"There is another vampire on school grounds, she is a Shuzen, and she overpowered the whole night class, including Kaname, Moka, and Zero!" Yuki yelled.
"This is not good…" Kaien said in concern. "Let me patch him up!"
"Where is Yagari?" Yuki asked.
"Right here…" Yagari said as he walked around the corner with his shotgun in one hand and over his shoulder.
"Please, come help us!" Yuki begged.
Yagari just sighed and followed behind Yuki who led him to the battle that was going on. Kaien looked over Zero who was half dead and was in need of blood. He grabbed a small knife and slit the palm of his hand, pouring his blood into Zero's mouth. Zero began to heal, but very slowly. Kaien grabbed his sword and looked at it in fear.
"Do I dare use this weapon once more? Is it too soon? Is it time?" Kaien asked himself these questions and wasn't sure whether to leave and help or stay to Zero's side and attend to him. Kaien unsheathed the sword and stared at his reflection and removed his glasses…
