...
June 22nd, 2015. Kanagawa, Japan.
It was early morning in the Aono residence and a certain, young, man was still sound asleep in bed. Over the past month, Tsukune and the beautiful vampiress, Moka, had gotten rather close. Even though they shared a bed nearly every other night, or so, their relationship had not gone further than the hand holding and kissing stage.
Even though he freely offered his blood to Moka, she wanted to be a lot closer to Tsukune on a more intimate level. And seeing that it was his 21st birthday, it would be too good of an opportunity to pass up and tell him how she honestly felt about him.
She had awoken extra early in order to surprise him with breakfast in bed. Moka wanted his special day to be memorable, since he went out of his way to be sure that hers was, as well. The vampiress was still shocked to some extent since he somehow found and purchased a painting of her mother which now hung over her bed.
Moka made her way upstairs with a bed tray in hand. After she had set the tray on the hallway floor, she gently tapped on Tsukune's door in order to gain his attention. As she heard her blood doll rustle in his bed, she opened the door, bent down and retrieved the tray with the breakfast she had prepared, especially for him.
"Good morning, Tsukune," she announced as she walked into the room.
"Oh, good morning, Moka," he answered with a yawn, which he quickly covered with his right hand.
Tsukune was quite surprised, to say the least. Moka was also dressed in an adorable ensemble which was made up of a simple, short-sleeved, white blouse and a dark blue, denim mini skirt, which showed off her shapely thighs and beautiful legs.
She then placed the bed tray on the bed and over his lap once he sat up a second later.
"Happy birthday," she said as she quickly placed a warm kiss upon his lips.
"Ah, thanks Moka," he said once their kiss ended, several, seconds, later.
"You're quite welcome and I hope that you're hungry," she answered as a slight blush raced across her cheeks.
"Yeah. I'm starving," he said with a smile.
Moka's home-cooked breakfast consisted of French Toast smothered with melted butter and warm, maple syrup; a ham and cheese omelet, along with sausage patties, a tall glass of chilled Orange juice, and lastly, a cup of coffee with cream and sugar.
"Go ahead, Tsukune," she said with a soft smile.
"Itadakimasu!" he said as he dug into his breakfast with great enthusiasm.
"M-hmm-m... this French Toast is the best I've ever had. You really outdid yourself this time!" he happily said after a few bites.
"Oh... thank you, Tsukune. I'm so happy to hear it," Moka answered as she placed both of her hands over her warm cheeks.
"Mm-hmmm."
"After you're done with breakfast, you can get dressed, and then meet me downstairs. I have a few places that I'd like to take you today after I make a quick phone-call," Moka said as she stepped forward and then gave him a kiss on his right cheek.
"Okay, Moka. I'm really looking forward to it," he said with a nod as he enjoyed his breakfast to the fullest.
With a bright smile, she turned around and walked over to the door. Moka then blew him a kiss as she slid the bedroom door open and then stepped into the hallway. She slowly closed the door behind herself and then walked the short distance to her bedroom.
...
After she had closed the door behind herself, Moka picked up her cell hone from her dresser and then plopped down on her bed. She pressed the power button on her cell phone and then slid her finger across the screen to unlock it. Moka then clicked on the contact icon and pulled up a phone number. She then pressed the number on the screen which dialed it for her.
Moka placed her phone up to her right ear as the other end rung, several times. A few, moments, later the other side had finally answered.
"Hello, Shuzen residence," a male voice answered.
"Good morning, father," she said in her cheery voice.
"Oh, Moka dear. How's my favorite daughter doing today?" Issa inquired.
"I'm doing fine, father. Thanks for asking," she replied.
"So, how are things with your blood doll?" he teased.
"Everything's wonderful, father. Actually, there's something that I've been meaning to ask you," she hesitantly replied.
"That's good to hear. So what's on your mind?" Issa asked.
"Well, it's about turning Tsukune into a vampire... like me," she said.
"I see. So, you've finally decided?" her father wondered with a smile.
"Yes, father. Actually, today's his birthday so I thought it'd be a good opportunity to tell him how I really feel about him... and also begin his transformation into a Shinso," Moka replied.
"I see. Well, that's wonderful news, daughter. As for that, since your Shinso blood's youkai is more potent than normal vampire blood, his change will have to be a gradual process, so you must be extremely careful. You'll have to slowly drain his human blood and replace it with an equal amount of your blood immediately after your body converts his blood into youkai. I would say a safe amount should be one pint per session since most humans have about ten pints, in total. And one pint should take approximately five minutes or so for you to drink. Then you need to inject him with your own blood for five minutes as well. If there is too much of your blood transferred to him afterward, that could possibly result in his body becoming weak and then changing him into a mindless ghoul," Issa explained, now out of breath.
"I understand, father. So an equal amount of his blood must be replaced with my own blood after my body converts his into youkai."
"That's correct, Moka. I'm very happy for you of course and after he becomes a full Shinso, I'd like to meet him and see for myself what makes him so special," Issa said with a laugh.
"Thank you father. And once he's a Shinso, I'll make sure that you meet him. But be nice. I don't want you scaring my mate away," Moka answered with a giggle of her own.
"You're quite welcome, daughter. As for marking him as your mate, you'll know by instinct when the time is right. Have a good day and I'll speak to you soon. If you have any questions or problems, you can always call me," he said.
"Thank you father. I'll remember all of that. Take care and I'll speak to you soon."
"Take care as well, my dear Moka," Issa said as he hung upon his side.
With a smile, Moka hung up on her end and then placed her cell phone into her purse. She quickly sat up with a smile and then pulled herself to her feet. She would make sure that her plans for Tsukune's special day went off without a hitch.
"Okay. It's showtime!" Moka said with a wide smile.
…
"It's not a problem, Moka. We got it under control, okay? You guys go out and have a great day and we'll see you around five o'clock for Tsuki's birthday party. Aunty and Uncle will be here before you guys get home by that time. Besides, they're really looking forward to meeting you," Kyoko said with a wink.
"Okay, thanks again, Kyoko. And I really appreciate your help too, Kurumu," Moka said with a smile.
"No worries," the elder Aono woman answered with an all-knowing wink.
"Yeah, Moka. I'm glad to help out. And I'm gonna make the best cake ever so you two have some fun, alright?" Kurumu said with a smile herself.
The blue-haired bombshell had volunteered to make Tsukune's birthday cake and icing from scratch since she wanted to assist Kyoko with the remainder of the plans for later on in the day. Even though the petite succubus knew her place, or was supposed to, it did not mean that she had entirely given up on getting any closer to Tsukune, of course.
The overly-sexed succubus had even sneaked into his bed several times before by 'accident'; however, Inner Moka had reminded her time and again that she was not the sharing type.
"Thanks, Kurumu," Moka answered with a small smile.
The vampiress was somewhat happy that her friend Kurumu knew how much she cared for Tsukune as painful as it was, since she had grown fond of him over the past month, or so.
It went without saying that Moka wanted to remain on good terms with her high school acquaintance, and silently hoped that she would find her destined one, someday soon. Tsukune even had a friend who would be a perfect match for Kurumu, but she politely declined his generous offer at that time due in fact that she was still somewhat infatuated with a certain someone, of course.
…
Nearly thirty minutes later, Tsukune arrived downstairs after he had bathed, shaved, and dressed for his outing with Moka. Since it was the first official day of summer, he wore an aqua, short-sleeved, buttoned-down, cotton shirt along with a simple pair of dark, denim jeans. His always-messy hair was neatly styled and not resembled a bird's nest, to some extent.
He walked into the living room with a big smile once he saw Moka.
"Hey, happy birthday... Tsuki!" Kyoko announced as he came into view.
"Thanks, Kyo," he answered as he took an empty seat next to Moka with Kurumu on his left-hand side.
"Yahoo-hoo! Happy birthday to you," Kurumu said as she pulled him into her bosom and greeted him in her own way, per her daily habit.
"Mmffhm-ffhffhm-mfhmff!" he mumbled as he attempted to free himself from her sudden 'attack'.
"Kurumu..." Moka warned with a harsh glare.
"Ah, sorry!" she yelped as she released the birthday boy whose face was tinted blue.
"Oh my god! I thought she was gonna suck out my soul this time!" Tsukune half-shouted.
He then took in a huge gulp of air to refill his lungs before he fainted on the spot.
"I'm sorry, Tsukune! I just wanted to wish you a happy birthday," Kurumu pouted as Moka pulled him closer in a protective fashion.
"It's okay Kurumu," he answered with a weak smile.
"No it's not! I told you before Kurumu, to keep your hands and boobs away from my Tsukune!" Moka said with a growl as she grabbed his right hand and then placed it around her Rosary.
"Moka, it's fine. Let's not fight today, ladies. Please?" Tsukune lightly interjected before somebody ended up being knocked through the roof and into orbit.
"Okay. But she needs to know her place before my other half painfully reminds her," Moka replied with a huff.
'That's right. She best know her place and keep her claws off of him!' Inner Moka silently retorted.
"Geez. I said I was sorry, Moka," Kurumu replied with a sniffle.
"Alright, Kurumu. I'm sorry too. But you have to remember that I care about Tsukune and we share a special bond that you'll never understand," Moka answered with a nod.
"Thanks, ladies. And thanks again for helping Kyoko out, Kurumu. It really means a lot to me," he said with a small smile.
"Yahoo-hoo! You're really welcome and it's my pleasure, Tsukune!" the petite succubus answered with a fist-pump.
"Oh! I think our ride's here," Moka said as her cell phone went of, which indicated she had received a text message. She quickly glanced down at her phone's screen and confirmed her suspicion.
"Our ride?" Tsukune asked.
"Yes. I hired a Limousine for the day," she happily explained with a warm smile.
"You did?" he asked with a raised brow.
Moka gently grabbed his right hand and then led him towards the front door.
Kurumu and Kyoko followed the pair to see whether it was true or not, out of sheer curiosity and nosiness.
Moka slid her navy blue pumps onto her feet as Tsukune put on his black sneakers.
The vampiress unlocked the front door and then slid it open. Everybody peered outside and were stunned when they saw the 8 meter long, black, Limousine parked in front of the house. A black-clad chauffeur stood by the rear, passenger-side door, as he awaited for his customers.
"Wow!" Kyoko, Tsukune, and Kurumu commented, simultaneously.
"Are you ready to have some fun, Tsukune?" Moka asked with a wink as she held his hand and then led him through the front door.
"Yeah. I'm with you, Moka," he answered as they walked down the walkway as Kyoko and Kurumu waved goodbye to the twosome.
Kyoko then slid the door closed as she and Kurumu stepped back into the house and went about their spring cleaning. They wanted their shared domicile to be ready for Tsukune's birthday party, later on in the afternoon.
Moka was rather thankful that the day's weather forecast called for clear skies and not a possibility of rain, which could put a literal damper on the plans she had already made, two weeks in advance.
As they approached the long, black, sedan, the driver opened up the rear door for the pair and politely motioned for them to enter the vehicle and make themselves cozy.
Tsukune gestured for Moka to make her way inside the vehicle first, since he was always the ever-observant gentleman. She slowly stepped into the rear of the automobile and then slid onto the long, leather, seat made from the finest of ebony, leather. Tsukune followed her lead and then claimed a seat on her left-hand side.
The chauffeur closed the door behind Tsukune, made his way to the front, and then opened the driver's side door. After he closed the door behind himself, he properly buckled his seat-belt, placed the engine's gears into drive, and then pulled away from the sidewalk.
…
"Hey... this is pretty cool, Moka."
Tsukune glanced out of the tinted window on his left and watched as the scenery swiftly passed by. The dark-haired, young man, knew where the driver was headed since he knew the area rather well because he had grown up and was raised in the immediate region.
"I'm really glad that you agree, Tsukune," she replied.
The vampiress lightly leaned her head against his right shoulder and let out a sigh of complete happiness.
"Yeah. I've never really been in a Limo before," he answered with a chuckle.
"So... you've never ridden in one before?"
"No. This is my first time and... I'm happy... that it's with you," he answered.
Tsukune wrapped his right arm around her shoulder in an affectionate gesture and then pulled her a little closer towards himself.
"Oh, Tsukune," she replied with a happy tear, due to his always-honest words.
Moka snuggled closer to her very best friend and then lightly kissed him on his ear which shot a tingle of pleasure down his spine with a shiver.
"Oh, Moka," he gasped out, due to her sudden act of genuine affection.
"I have some surprises planned out for you, so just let me take care of everything, Tsukune," she said as she sat upright, a moment later.
"Ah, sure. Thanks again, Moka. Since you put it that way, then I'm really looking forward to it."
"You're very welcome, birthday boy," she answered with a wink as a light blush crept across her cheeks.
…
Nearly thirty-five minutes later, the limousine driver arrived in Akihabara.
"Hey, Moka?" Tsukune asked as he looked out the window on his side.
"Yes, Tsukune?"
"What are we doing in Akiba?" he inquired.
"Oh, there's someplace that I wanna take you as one of your presents," she answered with a smile.
"Oh, okay. Then I'm in your care," he said with a happy grin.
The driver then pulled up to a three-storey building in the center of the main avenue of what was fondly referred to as "Electric Town" since most of the non-anime and manga shops were discount electronics and computer stores.
"We're here, Tsukune," Moka said.
Once the Limo came to a complete stop, Tsukune opened the door and stepped onto the sidewalk. He offered his free hand to Moka while he held the door open for her, as she accepted it with a slight blush. He then closed the door while she held his hand for the time being. The vampiress walked up to the driver and asked him to return in about an hour's time, who acknowledged her request with a simple nod.
As the duo walked up the building, Tsukune noticed that it was a karaoke business. He opened the front door for Moka and allowed her to enter the establishment, first.
Moka briefly spoke to the elder lady behind the counter, opened her purse, fished out her wallet, and then handed her the appropriate amount of yen. The woman then pointed down the hallway and told Moka which karaoke 'box' would be theirs for the duration of time.
"I see what you have planned, Moka – but to be honest – I can't sing to save my own life," Tsukune joked as their reached their 'box'.
He opened the door and had Moka step inside, first.
The size of their 'karaoke box' was nearly 5 meters long by 4 meters, wide.
In the center of the rectangular-shaped room, suspended from the ceiling, was a mirrored disco ball which had 4 multicolored spotlights pointed towards it. They would turn on once the prerecorded music started. In each of the 4 corners of the room were small speakers suspended from the ceiling.
"It's okay, Tsukune. This is one of my presents to you," she said as he closed and locked the door after himself.
"I see. Well, if that's the case, then I'm really looking forward to hearing you sing," he said with a smile as he took a seat on the long, leather, couch.
Moka hummed yes as she sat down on his left-hand side and then picked up the karaoke catalog. The thick book listed the songs which were available in several musical genres as well as numerous languages, which also included English.
Once she found her first song selection, Moka sat up from her seat and then sauntered over to the karaoke machine which was on the opposite side of the room. She switched it on which dimmed the overhead light and also activated the disco ball and colored spotlights.
Thousands of multicolored, mini spotlights slowly swirled about the room's walls, ceiling, and floor which gave it a nightclub-type atmosphere.
"This song's dedicated to you, Tsukune," she said as she picked up the wireless microphone and held it in her hands.
Once she turned on the wireless microphone, the music began; which was a slow-rock ballad by Ayumi Hamasaki called 'Rainy Day'.
I calmly feel...
That I never forget...
What I don't want to forget
Even if I don't try to remember it...
It was a cold day...
I kept on waiting
Just for you...
In the hard rain
I was afraid of nothing
I could even think...
That even if it was the last day of my life
I didn't care...
People who were...
Happily smiling together
Passed just close to me
So many times...
.
But I was smiling...
More gently than anyone else
Standing alone...
Without an umbrella
When I shaded my eyes with my freezing hand
And saw you appear...
It wasn't because of sadness
That I was about to cry...
A flash of light
Shone on us...
As if to celebrate
The way we were going on...
Once the song ended, Tsukune clapped heartily as Moka took a bow.
'Oh my god! Her voice is just like an angel's!' Tsukune yelled in his mind.
She quickly returned the microphone to its holder on the front of the karaoke machine, walked back over to the sofa, and then had a seat.
"Wow, Moka. I'm really impressed. You have such an amazing singing voice," Tsukune said with a smile.
"Oh thank you, Tsukune. I actually took singing lessons when I was very young and mostly sing as a hobby... like I mentioned before," she answered with a hard blush, due to his honest compliment.
"You're welcome. I really had no idea that you sounded so professional," he replied.
"Thank you," she said as she wrapped her arms around her best friend and slowly pulled him into a hug.
'Oh, Tsukune. I do love you so much. I just hope that you feel the same way about me,' the vampiress thought to herself.
She felt so close to Tsukune and silently wished that they would get much closer, in due time.
"Anytime, Moka," he answered.
The adorable vampiress reluctantly released him from her embrace a few minutes later and then stood to her feet.
"I have a few more songs before our time's up so please sit back and enjoy," Moka said with a wink.
"Sure thing, Moka. I'm really looking forward to it."
The vampiress sang a few more songs by Ayumi Hamasaki which Tsukune thoroughly enjoyed and applauded each time she finished one. He smiled happily the entire time.
…
After the one hour time limit at the karaoke box, Moka and Tsukune walked outside where their ride awaited for them. They quickly climbed into the back seat of the Limo and Tsukune closed the door once he was properly seated. The limousine driver pulled away from the sidewalk, drove down to the next street corner, and then made a left turn north.
About a kilometer later, the chauffeur made a left turn and then a right about 2 kilometers down the road. 10 minutes later, he eventually pulled up to his destination.
"Here we are Tsukune. I thought we'd have a nice lunch now," Moka said as Tsukune opened the door and then stepped out onto the sidewalk.
The ebony-haired male offered his outstretched hand per habit to Moka who took it with a bright smile upon her pink, plump, lips. He then closed the door after himself as the driver placed the gears in park and then shut the engine off.
"So where do you wanna eat?" Tsukune inquired as he looked around the immediate area and knew where he was but did not see any restaurants, close-by.
"Oh, that's easy. We're gonna have lunch up there," Moka answered as he pointed skyward, towards the Tokyo Sky Tree.
Tokyo Sky Tree is a broadcasting, restaurant, and observation tower in Sumida, Tokyo, Japan. It became the tallest structure in Japan in 2010 and reached its full height of 634.0 meters (2,080 ft) in March 2011, making it the tallest tower in the world, displacing the Canton Tower and the second tallest structure in the world after the Burj Khalifa (829.8 m/2,722 ft).
The tower is the primary television and radio broadcast site for the Kantō region; the older Tokyo Tower no longer gives complete digital terrestrial television broadcasting coverage because it is surrounded by high-rise buildings. The Sky Tree was completed on February 29, 2012, with the tower opening to the public on May 22, 2012.
Tokyo Sky Tree is also the centerpiece of a large commercial development funded by Tobu Railway and a group of six terrestrial broadcasters headed by NHK. Trains stop at the adjacent Tokyo Sky Tree Station and nearby Oshiage Station. The complex is 7 kilometers (4.3 mi) north-east of Tokyo Station.
"Alright, Moka. I'm with you," Tsukune said with a grin as Moka led him over to the huge complex with an infectious smile across her lips.
…
Once their elevator arrived at the first observation deck at the height of 345 meters, Moka exited it first with Tsukune by her side. He was rather surprised that the area was nearly devoid of anybody, minus several employees who went about their individual tasks.
The pair then wandered a short distance over to the restaurant's entrance and then patiently awaited to be seated.
Several moments later, they were approached by a woman in her mid-twenties. She was dressed in a simple black dress with matching pumps on her petite feet and stood nearly the same height as Moka and had long, black hair, along with hazel eyes.
"Good afternoon. Welcome to Musahi Sky Restaurant. How many this afternoon?" the hostess asked with a bow.
"Good afternoon. It's just the two of us," Moka replied with a bow.
"Yes ma'am. This way, please," she said as she grabbed two menus and then led them into the restaurant, itself.
Luckily for Tsukune and Moka, it was not as busy as it normally was, during the weekends or holidays, since it was indeed, a weekday.
The inside of the restaurant was furnished nicely with blonde-colored tables and matching seats made of the same, soft, wood. The interior was made of a dark, stained, Oak.
Once they arrived at a window-side table, Tsukune pulled out a chair for Moka who blushed at his chivalrous gesture. As soon as she was comfortably seated, he gave her chair a gentle push forward. He walked over to the opposite side and then took an empty seat directly across from her.
"Have a pleasant stay. Your server shall be along shortly," the hostess said with a bow. She then placed a menu in front of them and then left with a bow.
"You can order whatever you like, Tsukune. My treat," Moka said with a smile.
"Thanks, Moka," he answered.
"You're very welcome, birthday boy," the pinkette replied with a wink.
'Oh man, she's way too cute for her own good,' he thought to himself with a slight blush which Moka did not take notice of.
Tsukune and Moka each picked up their menus and then gave them a decent read-through. The birthday boy sweat-dropped at the ridiculous prices but decided to stay quiet and not ruin Moka's plans since she had gone out of her way to ensure that he had a peaceful birthday.
"Good afternoon, folks. My name is Hana and I'll be your sever this afternoon. May I start you off with something cold to drink?" the server asked as she walked up to their table with a bow.
"I'll have a glass of your house, red wine, please," Moka said as she placed her menu on the table and then closed it.
"I'll have a Kirin light beer, please," Tsukune answered as he set his menu down, likewise.
"Very well, folks. I'll return with your beverages in a few minutes," the server said with a bow. She then turned around and made her way to fetch their drinks.
"Hey Moka?"
"Yes, Tsukune?"
"I just wanted to say thanks again... for today."
"Oh, you're very welcome, Tsukune," Moka answered as she reached across the table and gave his hands a light squeeze.
"I really mean it, Moka."
"It's my pleasure."
"And I just wanted you to know that... today's been the best birthday ever."
"Really, Tsukune? Why's that?" she inquired.
"Because... I've had the chance spent it with someone special... like you."
"Oh, Tsukune. That's so sweet of you."
'He really is a sweetheart. No wonder I fell in love with him so hard.'
'You're right, Omote. I think today's the best time to tell him how we really feel,' Ura Moka said through the Rosary which caused the center gem to lightly glow for a moment.
'I agree. But will he feel the same way though? And if he does, can I mark him tonight?'
'I'd stake my life on it. If today goes according to our plans, then I'd have to say yes. Mark him tonight. Good luck, Omote. If you need me, you know where to find me,' Ura said as the Rosary went silent.
A moment later, their sever brought their drinks over to their table on a wooden serving tray. She expertly set down two coasters on the glass table with one hand and then set down each of their beverages.
She then placed the empty tray on the table to her left.
"Have you folks decided on lunch yet?" the waitress asked.
"I'll have the special lunch set, please," Moka replied as she looked over to Tsukune who appeared to be deep in thought.
"Excellent choice, ma'am. And for you, sir?"
"I'll have the same, please," Tsukune answered a moment later, since he had a difficult time making up his mind on what to order for lunch.
"Very well, sir. I'll be back with your orders shortly," Hana the waitress said with a bow as she went to place their orders.
"It's such a nice view, isn't it, Tsukune?" Moka asked as she glanced out the panoramic window to her left.
"Yeah. It sure is," he answered with a nod as he admired the beauty before him.
"This is actually my first time here," Moka said with a contented sigh.
"It's mine, too."
"Really, Tsukune?" she asked with a raised brow.
"Yeah. But I'm glad... that it's with you, Moka."
"Oh, Tsukune," she answered with a slight flush across her cheeks.
…
As the pair ate their midday meals in comfortable silence, they both found it hard to not steal a glance at each other. Of course it was merely a bit of innocent flirting, which neither one was fully aware of at the time.
They mostly laughed and talked about whatever was on their mind, which covered such everyday topics such as movies, music, the weather, and so forth. They were both thankful that they were the only pair in the restaurant, which Tsukune thought was rather odd, but decided it was best not to bring that particular subject up.
"So how is everything, folks?" the server asked as she passed by their table.
"Oh, everything's fine. I'll take the check when you have time," Moka said a moment later, still engrossed with the man of her affections.
"Very well, ma'am. Thank you for your business," Hana said as she pulled out the check from the front pocket of her black apron.
She then placed it face down on the table which Moka quickly grabbed. The pinkette then picked up her purse, yanked out her wallet, opened it up, and then found her money.
"Here you go. Thank you very much," the vampiress said as she handed the proper amount of yen to the server with a smile.
"You're quite welcome," Hana said with a bow as she stuffed the yen into the front pocket of her apron. She bowed gratefully and then went about her business.
Tsukune pushed back his seat, stretched his hands over his head, sat up, and then walked over to Moka's side of the table.
"Thanks, again Moka," he said as he pulled out her chair.
"You're very welcome, Tsukune," Moka replied as she stood to her feet.
She lightly grabbed his hand, led him out of the restaurant, and then down the short hallway.
"Um, there's something that I wanna show you, Tsukune," Moka said as they walked up to the row of elevators.
"Okay, Moka. I'm with you," he said.
Moka then reached over to the brass, wall-mounted, panel and then pressed the "UP" button.
…
Several minutes later, their elevator car reached the top observation deck, which was at a height of 450 meters. Once the twin doors swooshed open, the pair stepped out and into the actual observation deck, itself. On a clear day, one could see Mt. Fuji in the distance. Since it was indeed the tallest structure in all of Japan, it offered a 360 degree view of nearly everything within 70 kilometers.
"Oh, Tsukune! Look! Its Mount Fuji!" Moka squealed when she saw for herself the view of the surrounding area.
She led him over to the long row of windows and held his hand affectionately.
"This is really something else, huh?" he asked.
"Yes, Tsukune. It's so amazing," Moka commented.
Tsukune nodded as he glanced over to his right, too far absorbed by the breathtaking beauty by his side.
'This is the perfect time. I'll tell her how I feel about her even... even if it's a long-shot. I know she likes and cares about me, but does she feel the same way that I do? Does she see me more than just a friend or a blood doll? I mean, we've kissed ...a lot... but is there more to it than our blood bond?' he asked himself with a gulp.
"Hey, Moka? Um, there's something that I've been wanting to say to you... for a while now, but I wasn't really sure about... how to say it," he said with another gulp.
The vampiress turned to her left as an instant wave of nervousness washed over her from head to toe. Before she could reply, he reached down and gently squeezed her hands. She tilted her head to the right as her eyes sparkled with keen curiosity.
"It's okay, Tsukune. Whatever you wanna say, just take your time, okay? I'm your friend and whatever it is, I promise you - that I'll listen," she said as a soft smile graced her plump lips.
Moka saw for herself that he had a difficult time gathering up his thoughts and something most definitely, weighed heavily on his mind, if she were to take an educated guess.
"Um... well... here it goes. Moka... from the moment I met you, I knew that there was something very special about you. The thing is; beautiful woman like yourself never spoke to me before we met, early last month. I told you this before, remember? That I was always shy around women and never dated anyone, but you're different than any woman I've ever known and are so amazing. It's hard to believe that so much has happened since you came to live with me... and to be honest, I feel as though meeting you has changed my life. I also wanted to thank you again for saving my life last month. I really don't know where I'd be right now if we never met," he said with a deep breath.
He reluctantly released her hands, stepped forward, and then wrapped his arms around her in a comforting embrace.
"Tsukune?" she asked as she returned his hug and held him firmly.
"You're my very best friend Moka and I – I love you. I've been in love with you, all of you... from the minute we met."
Moka's eyes widened in disbelief as she felt tears freely flow from her emerald green eyes and streamed down her cheeks. All of her worrying was for naught, it would seem. The gem in the center of her Rosary glowed to life once again as her true self also heard his heartfelt confession of love and was beyond ecstatic.
She blushed hard as she held him a bit firmer and swallowed the last of her nervousness. Now it was her turn to be completely honest with her feelings and say what she needed to.
"You're my very best friend, too... Tsukune – and I – I love you. Ever since we've met... I've fallen so deeply in love with you. I've had so much fun these past, two months than I ever have – in my entire life. None of it would've been – possible if I never met you. And I truly wish that we could've met a lot sooner," she breathed out as she released him from her hug and then kissed him passionately.
Moka pressed herself against her love as she felt the overwhelming urge to mark him as her mate right there. But she would wait, no matter how aware she was of his building arousal which throbbed against her inner thigh. She would soon give herself to him; her one and only, true mate whom she loved more than anyone in the entire universe.
Tsukune reached up and then ran his left hand through her silky, pink, hair. Moka shivered in delight from the affectionate gesture and moaned happily as a warm feeling ignited in her lower body as she desperately craved his undivided attention.
The couple kissed for several minutes, thankful that they were completely alone and felt more free than they had ever been in their entire lives. They finally told each other their true feelings which felt as if a heavy weight had been lifted from their shoulders.
Once they ended their long kiss for air, they held each other and wished to be closer.
"Moka... I've decided."
"About what?" she asked as she looked into his kind eyes with a soft smile.
"I – wanna be with you. I wanna be your mate."
"Do you really mean that?" she asked as a smile parted her satiny lips.
"Yeah. More than anything."
"Oh, Tsukune. I wanna be your mate, too."
'Well, it's about damn time if you ask me. Now we finally get to be with him. But the question remains; which one of us goes first?' Inner Moka asked which caused her outer self to blush bright red at the very thought.
"Then would it be okay, if um... you marked me as your mate... tonight?"
"If that's what also you want – then yes. I'd really like that," she answered as her blush intensified.
"I love you Moka."
"And I love you too, Tsukune... so very much."
"So, I guess this means... that we're a couple now, huh?" Tsukune asked as he held her affectionately.
"Yes, my sweet Tsukune. We're a couple now... and I wouldn't mind calling you my boyfriend... if it's okay with you," she answered with a wide smile.
"Sure, Moka. And I guess that I can proudly call you... my girlfriend," he said as he lovingly caressed her cheek with his right hand and wiped her remaining tear away.
Moka then kissed him passionately once again as she was beyond happy. It would seem as though her birthday wish had finally come to fruition.
…
Several hours later once the new couple arrived home, they were greeted in the front entrance-way, by none other then his parents, Koji and Kasumi.
"Mom! Dad!" he yelped when they came over to him and gave him a group hug.
"Hello, Sweetie. Happy birthday," his mom said as she gave him a kiss on his right cheek, much to his embarrassment.
"Thanks, mom... but I'm not a kid anymore, you know!"
"How's my boy doing?" Koji joked as he rubbed his right hand through Tsukune's hair which caused him to blush bright red.
"Not you too, dad!" he loudly protested.
Moka cleared her throat which brought the elder Aono's attention towards herself and away from her soon-to-be mate. She was not too keen on being the center of attention, especially in front of anybody she had not properly met yet. But she could see that Tsukune was quite uncomfortable to be teased by his parents in such a childish way.
"Mister and Misses Aono, my name is Moka Akashiya and it's a great pleasure to finally make your acquaintance," she said with a bow.
"I'm Koji Aono, Tsukune's father. It's a pleasure to meet you," Koji said with a returned bow.
"I'm Kasumi Aono, Tsukune's mother. It's a pleasure to meet you as well, Miss Akashiya," Kasumi replied, in the same manner.
"Um, mom... dad. This is the young vampire lady I told you about," Tsukune said with a sweat-drop after the introductions were out of the way.
"Oh, so you must be the woman who Tsukune always talked about whenever he'd call home. I must say, you're a lot taller and prettier than I imagined," Kasumi said with a smile.
"Yes, Misses Aono... and thank you," Moka replied with a sweat-drop along with another bow.
"Um, why don't we all go inside?" Tsukune suggested.
He grabbed Moka's left hand and led her into the living room, with his parents hot on their heels.
Kasumi and Koji just gave each other a semi-worried look and silently wondered why their son was so close to the pink-haired vampiress.
As Tsukune and Moka entered the living room, Kyoko and Kurumu jumped out from behind the wall and both yelled "Surprise!" which caused him to fall back which nearly knocked his girlfriend over in the process.
"What the hell? You guys just scared the crap outta me!" he yelped in mild frustration as he placed his left hand over his rapidly pounding heart.
Moka shot a wave of her youkai towards the pair of pranksters which resulted in them both to quickly claim two empty seats on the far side of the long, plush, couch.
…
"So, let me get this straight; you two just confessed to each other a couple of hours ago, and you're also going to be mates?" Koji asked.
"Yeah. I know it's kinda sudden... but I'm in love with Moka and I wanna be with her. I know that you guys are concerned, but I'm an adult and she feels the same way about me. It's like – we're supposed to be together... and I feel like... I dunno... I've known her for years. I really can't explain it any other way," Tsukune said, now out of breath.
Moka shed a few tears of happiness and felt much closer to Tsukune than she already was. She knew in her heart that she felt the same way that he did, so there was no room for doubt.
"Are you sure, sweetie? Does this have anything to do with your 'blood bond'?" Kasumi asked as she placed the back of her left hand on her forehead.
Moka and Tsukune left nothing secret and both decided to be entirely honest to his parents, no matter how embarrassing the entire subject was. That also included the details of their bond, since they were on blood sucking terms.
Kurumu was at a complete loss of words and had no idea how to react to everything she had just heard, herself.
"Yes, mom. And no, this has nothing to do with it. Moka is smart, sweet, kind, a great cook, and overall, an amazing woman. I've never met anyone like her in my entire life. She's also the Ambassador to the Yokai realm and was the one who started the whole co-existence program with the Prime Minister a few years ago. She's everything to me and if I wanna be her mate, then you guys should support our decision. Just being near her, makes me happy," Tsukune said with a serious look across his bow.
"Aunty... just give it some time. I can tell from talking to Moka that she's perfect for Tsuki. And I also know that if they had met years ago, I'm pretty sure they still would've ended up together," Kyoko added a moment later.
Koji opened his mouth for a moment to reply and then quickly decided to remain quiet.
"Alright. You've made your points. If Kyoko thinks you two are a good fit, then I guess I can take her word... and I want you to be happy. You're both adults so I guess there's no room for further discussion. Now, why don't we all go into the dining room for dinner? I know I could use some food and a stiff drink," Kasumi suggested with a small smile as she stood to her feet and gave a nod to her husband, Koji.
"I'm with you dear. Good thing I brought along a huge bottle of Saké, just in case," he said.
...
After their steak and lobster dinner was finished, Kyoko and Kurumu cleared the dining room table of the dishes and quickly put away the left-overs in the refrigerator.
"If you'll excuse me for a minute, I need to check on something in the kitchen," Moka said as she pushed her chair back and stood to her feet.
With a bow she walked over to the kitchen door and stepped through it.
"Well, son – I'm happy that you met such a wonderful woman," Koji said which caused Tsukune to feel a bit more relaxed.
"Thanks, dad. She really is an amazing woman and I do love her," Tsukune said with a happy sigh.
"I can see that sweetie, and I'm sorry about earlier. I do wish you and Moka many years of happiness and now that I've gotten to know her a little better, I guess I worried for nothing," Kasumi said with a tear in her eye.
"Thanks, mom. That really means a lot to me," Tsukune replied with a soft smile.
Before Kasumi could reply, the dining room lights were dimmed as Moka, Kyoko, and Kurumu returned to the dining room. Moka had in her hands a decent-sized birthday cake which had 21 lit candles on it. Almost on cue, everyone broke out into song and sung "Happy Birthday" to Tsukune.
Moka set the cake in front of her boyfriend with a bright smile on her lips.
Once the song ended, she leaned down to his left ear and whispered something which caused him to blush bright red. He quickly blew all of the candles out with one breath and was awarded a healthy round of applause.
Kyoko ran over to the light switch and turned the lights on once again since the room was partially dark. Kurumu then set a small plate in front of everyone along with a fork wrapped in a paper napkin.
"Here, love – you get to cut the first slice," Moka said as she handed Tsukune a plastic knife.
"Ah, thanks Moka," he said as their fingers brushed each others.
"Aw, you two look ~so cute together," Kasumi said as she sipped on her third cup of Saké.
"Yep. You two definitely remind me of us," Koji said with a wink.
Tsukune did so as asked by his wonderful girlfriend with a wide grin. Once his slice was cut, Moka took over cake-slicing duty and placed a slice of chocolate cake with mint frosting on everyone's plate in an orderly fashion.
"Oh wow, this cake is really good!" Tsukune commented once Moka was seated next to him and tried it for herself.
"Thank you, Tsukune. I'm so glad that you like it," Kurumu said with a tear in her eye.
"Yeah, Kurumu. This is pretty good," Kyoko added a moment later.
"Is something wrong, Kurumu?" Moka asked as she tried it for herself.
"Well, I still like Tsukune, but I guess I don't have a chance, huh? Besides, the only thing I'm good at is baking and cooking..." the petite succubus replied as she downed her second glass of Saké and then wobbled a bit.
"I know Kurumu, but... I do know a friend of mine who'd be perfect for you. He happens to be a top chef in Tokyo and his parents even own a bakery here in Kanagawa, too," Tsukune said in-between bites of his cake.
"Oh, you mean Takashi?" Kyoko asked with a raised brow.
"Yeah. He just got back in town last week and said for us to stop by the bakery someday. I'm pretty sure that you two would hit if off right away, Kurumu," Tsukune said.
"Um, is he the same guy you told me about before?" Kurumu asked as she poured herself a third cup of the fermented rice wine.
"The very same. We actually met in university during orientation and have been friends ever since. Actually a lot of people say that we could be twins, except he's taller than me," Tsukune said with a laugh which piqued the blue-haired bombshell's curiosity.
"Um, well... since you put it that way, then I guess I could at least meet him and see his family's bakery," Kurumu said with a sigh as she sipped on her Saké.
"It couldn't hurt to meet him Kurumu. He is kinda cute," Kyoko said to her friend.
"Fine. I'll meet him next week, okay? Geez. I know you guys mean well but I still like Tsukune," Kurumu said as she slammed her cup on the table which caused everyone to jump.
"Kurumu... just remember your place. I don't wanna have the other me show it to you again," Moka lightly warned.
"Oh, I'd be more than happy to make an appearance because of that last remark, you stupid milk cow,' Inner Moka retorted via the Rosary.
"What does she mean by the 'other me'?" Kasumi asked with worried look, unsure of her unusual reply.
Koji just shrugged his shoulders and did his best to savor the remainder of his sugary dessert.
"Now ladies - no fighting, please? I'd really like to enjoy my birthday in peace if it's alright," Tsukune said with a semi-stern look.
"I'm sorry Tsukune. I-I didn't mean it," Moka said with a bow.
"It's okay Moka. I know you meant well," he said.
He then placed his left hand on her lap and gave her thigh a gentle squeeze which made her blush a bit due to his bold gesture.
"Ah, Tsukune... oh god..." she softly whimpered.
"Fine. I'm sorry too... dammit," Kurumu said as she grabbed her cup and downed its contents in one gulp.
"Okay... um... why don't we give Tsukune his presents now?" Kyoko interjected before another verbal fight broke out or somebody ended up being knocked through a wall or the roof.
"Excellent idea, Kyoko," Moka said as she stood to her feet and removed any empty plates and forks in sight.
"Here, lemme help," Kyoko replied with a sweat-drop.
The two women quickly cleared the table and made themselves scarce for a minute.
"Ah, well, my present was the cake and icing I made from scratch," Kurumu sheepishly announced.
"Thanks again, Kurumu. It was really good," Tsukune praised with a warm smile.
"Oh, um, you're welcome Tsukune," she replied with a blush of her own due to his honest words.
Kyoko and Moka both returned to the dining room a few minutes, later. They both carried something in their hands which they each placed in front of Tsukune.
"Um, this is for you, Tsukune," Moka said as she set down a small, box-shaped object in front of him.
He picked up the present and gave it a gentle shake.
"Go on, silly. Open it," Moka urged with an adorable wink.
With a goofy grin, he quickly released the gift from its shiny, paper prison. It was a simple black, flocked box. He then opened it along the front, since the back was on a hinge of some sort.
When Tsukune finally saw what it was, he was quite shocked: a silver Casio men's mechanical wristwatch with luminescent hands and hour markers. The wristband was made from the finest of black leather.
"Oh my god. It's great! Thanks, Moka!" he happily replied.
He placed the box on the table, stood to his feet, and then gave Moka a heartfelt hug.
"You're so very welcome, love. I just knew you'd like your present," she said as she returned his warm embrace.
Moka then winked at Kyoko since she had given her the idea in the first place.
Once the couple ended their long hug, they both sat down in their seats. Moka placed her right hand on his lap and left it there for the time being, with a happy smile upon her lips.
"Wow, that's a nice watch, son," Koji commented.
"It sure is," Tsukune replied.
"My turn! Here, Tsuki. This is for you and Moka," Kyoko said with a catlike grin.
Tsukune picked up the simple envelope and carefully tore open one side. He peered inside it and then gave it a gentle shake. Something fell out into his hand which he carefully read.
"What's this?" he asked, unsure if it was what he thought it was.
"Oh, that's two tickets to the yokai-friendly water park, Summer Land," his elder cousin explained with a wink, which Moka picked up on immediately.
"Wow... thanks, Kyo," he said as he stood up and pulled her into a familiar hug.
"Aw, you're welcome, Tsuki. I just know you two are gonna have a great time. Besides, it'll give you an excellent chance to see Moka in a bikini," Kyoko replied as she returned the embrace.
"Ah, right. Thanks," he sputtered as he finished their hug a moment later and then took his seat next to Moka.
"A water park? I wanna go too!" Kurumu shouted and then fell forward onto the table.
She then snored loudly as her leathery wings and tail suddenly popped out which spooked Kasumi and Koji.
"What the hell?! Is she a demon or something?!" Kasumi bellowed and nearly fainted, herself.
Kyoko, Tsukune, and Moka laughed heartily at Kurumu's drunken stupor.
"Kurumu! You baka!" Moka said with a giggle.
"Uh, it looks like the party's over," Kyoko commented.
She then poked Kurumu in the head several times in an effort to wake her friend from her unintentional nap, but to no avail as the succubus snored even louder than before.
"Well, it's getting late and I have to work in the morning," Koji said as he gave his wife a hand since she could not stand on her own.
"Aw, we're going bye bye so soon?" Kasumi asked as she attempted to stand on her own but had a hard time doing so.
"Yes, we've gotta be going now," her husband said as he placed both of his hands around Kasumi's waist and then pulled to her feet.
"I can stand on my own two feet, baka! Whoops!" Kasumi protested as she wriggled out of her husband's grasp and then nearly fell.
Koji pulled her to her feet again with a sweat-drop and held her more firmly than before.
"It was very nice meeting you, Mister and Misses Aono," Moka said with a bow.
"The pleasure is all ours, right, dear?" Koji said as he held Kasumi in front of him.
"Yep. You're a good girl, Miss Moka. Just make my boy happy, okay?" Kasumi said as she stumbled forward and gave Moka a somewhat, awkward, hug.
"Thank you so much, Misses Aono. You have my word that I'll take very good care of your son and always love him. That's where my place is," Moka said as she embraced her future mother-in-law with a happy tear in her eyes.
"Okay. We go now. We be here four hour!" Kasumi said with a boisterous laugh.
…
Half an hour later, once the household had calmed down and Kurumu was carried up to her room by Tsukune, the couple decided that it was best to turn in early since it had been quite a busy day. Moka made sure that her friend was properly tucked into bed and politely asked Tsukune to wait for her in his bedroom.
With a nervous nod, he made it to his bedroom and quickly changed into his nightwear which consisted of a lightweight, heather gray tee-shirt along with a pair of matching boxer shorts that had a simple, gingham pattern.
'Oh man, I'm so nervous right now. But this is what we both want. I just hope it's not gonna be painful,' Tsukune thought to himself as he crawled under the cool sheets.
"Tsukune? May I come in please?" Moka asked from her side of the closed shoji door a few minutes later.
"Sure thing, Moka," he answered with a gulp.
The vampiress slid the door open which she locked behind herself, so as to avoid any unwanted interruptions, like Kurumu just walking in and making it an unwanted threesome.
"Um, how do I look?" she asked as she poked her fingers together out of nervous habit.
"Wow, you look really beautiful," he replied with a hard blush.
Luckily for the couple, the only source of light was the silvery-bluish glow of the full moon which shone in through the sheer window curtain.
The vampiress was dressed in a white 'baby-doll' type nightgown, which had a low v-neck cut in the front with a short hem that rested about 15 centimeters above her knees. (8 inches or so)
The satiny material shimmered in the pale moonlight which caused her otherworldly beauty to be more apparent than normal. Her long, pink, hair was fastened back into a long ponytail which reached past her knees.
"Thanks, Tsukune. I... um, bought this just for tonight... since I'm gonna... mark you as my mate," she explained as she walked over to his bed and then crawled under the covers.
"I see," he said as she turned to her left and admired the man of her affections.
"Um, to be honest... I'm kinda nervous," she said.
"Me too, Moka," Tsukune replied as he placed his right hand on her cheek and lovingly brushed his palm against her soft skin.
"Oh, Tsukune," she said as she gently pushed him back on the plush bed and held him for all she was worth.
"I do love you Moka, all of you. And I want to love you forever," he whispered into her left ear which caused her toes to curl.
"And I love you, Tsukune. I'm just thankful that your parents like me and accepted me as your girlfriend, er, mate," she replied.
"I know, Moka. At first my mom wasn't too happy with the news, but once she loosened up, she was a lot more accepting," Tsukune said with a laugh.
"I see. Well, at least your dad was more open to the news... but it all worked out in the end, right?"
"Yeah. He's always been that way."
"Mm-hmm. Anyway, um, would it be okay if I – um, made myself more comfortable?" Moka asked as she bit her lower lip.
"More comfortable?" Tsukune asked with a sweat-drop.
"Ura said I should... um... be naked," Moka admitted with a blush as she buried her head against his chest out of extreme embarrassment.
"Naked?" he half-shouted.
"Ura said that – she wants you to be more aroused," Moka replied with another blush.
"More aroused? Why?"
"I dunno. My father said this morning that I'll know when to mark you as my mate... and he also told me how to change you into a Shinso... like me," she explained the best way she could without growing even more embarrassed than she already was.
"It's not gonna be painful, is it?"
"Which part, Tsukune?"
"The changing into a Shinso, part."
"Well, I don't think so. Father said that I'd have to drink a pint of your blood, and then once my body converts it into youkai, I would have to inject an equal amount of my vampire blood into you right afterward. For you to become a full Shinso, I'd have to do that at least ten times, or at least until your body fully transforms – whichever comes first," Moka explained.
"A whole pint? Isn't that a lot of blood?" he inquired with a quirked brow.
"I know it's a lot, Tsukune. But since my youkai is more potent than a regular vampire, that's what father told me. This is all new to me, love. And I cannot bare the thought of out living you... it's just too... sad..." she said as she softly sobbed.
"Oh, Moka. I know. And this is what I want, so let's do it," Tsukune said as he pulled her into a hug and held her for a while.
…
"Um, are you ready?" she asked as she hung her displaced nightgown on the back of the chair near Tsukune's computer desk.
"Ready as I'll ever be," he said with a nod.
Moka slow approached her beloved, wearing nothing but a shy smile.
'Oh my god, she's so gorgeous... and her breasts are a lot bigger than I imagined,' he thought to himself as he became aroused in a split-second.
"From tonight on, I'm all yours, Tsukune," she said as she crawled into their shared bed once again.
"Oh, Moka... I'm all yours, too," he said as she climbed on top of him.
She leaned forward and secured the short space between themselves. As their lips touched in a passionate kiss, Moka pressed herself closer towards her one and only as she became lost in her euphoria.
"Ah, Tsukune... touch me," she said, in-between kisses.
"You want me to – touch you?"
"Yes, please. Ura said you could um, touch my breasts... if you wanna. But be gentle, okay?" she answered as her breath came out in short pants.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, love. Please... touch me. I want to feel your strong hands... on my body," she boldly replied as she fiercely kissed him once more.
Tsukune slowly trailed his hands along her slender back and then down to her plump, yet firm, derriere. He then gave it a gentle squeeze which caused her to press herself closer.
"Ah, Tsukune!" she yelped out.
"Sorry," he said.
"It's okay... it kinda... felt nice," she admitted with a blush.
"Okay... um... oh man..." he said as he placed his right hand over her left breast and gave it a soft squeeze.
"See? Ah, that feels really good... oh Tsukune..."
"Your breasts feel soft but kinda heavy... ah, what I mean is in a good way," he sputtered.
"It's okay... more, please," she begged.
"Um, would it be okay, if I um, kissed your breasts?"
"You wanna kiss them?" she asked, somewhat stunned at his request.
'Omote, it might feel really ~good, since he's such an amazing kisser,' Ura said with a song in her inner voice.
"Only if it's okay with you, Moka," he quietly answered.
"O-okay, but be gentle," she said with a soft smile once she digested Ura's idea.
Moka sat up from the bed momentarily and then laid down in her original spot on Tsukune's right. Tsukune sat up and then gently laid over her while he straddled her nude form.
"Well, um, here I go," he said as he leaned over her impressive, firm, bosom.
"Please be gentle, Tsukune. This is my first time."
"O-of course Moka. It's my first time, too."
Slowly, he leaned forward and gently cupped the top of her left breast with his mouth and then gave it a gentle kiss.
"Ah! More!"
Feeling emboldened by Moka's lusty plea, he suckled her nipple which stiffened immediately.
"Ah, Tsukune... please... oh god... touch... my other breast," she breathed out as she arched her back.
Tsukune tenderly placed his right hand over her left breast and played with her nipple which caused her to arch her back even more.
"Ah... Tsukune... ahhh... more... oh god... ahhhngh!"
Tsukune removed his mouth from her left breast, placed it over her right, and then repeated the action which she had grown rather fond of.
"Oh Tsukune... ahhh... I can't control myself... ahhh... ahhngh!"
Moka quickly pushed Tsukune back onto the bed and then jumped on top of him. Without a word said, she lunged forward and then sunk her fangs deep into the left side of his neck.
"Ahhhh!" he yelped out as she continued to keep her razor sharp fangs buried in his neck for a few moments.
Once Moka realized what had happened, she retracted her fangs from his neck and then climbed off from top of him.
"Oh my god... what... what did I do?" she asked as she sat upon her knees and had not a clue what happened.
"Moka... what... what happened?" Tsukune asked in a semi-shaky voice.
"I'm sorry, Tsukune! I – I just lost myself. I'm so, so, sorry," she wailed out as she leaned against him and was on the verge of tears.
"Ssh - it's okay, Moka. I'm not upset. I think you just marked me as your mate," he replied as he gave her a warm hug.
"Really, Tsukune?" she hesitantly asked.
"Yeah. I'm totally fine, see?"
"Are you sure you're okay? I – I bit you pretty hard. And I may have injected some of my blood into you, too," she said with an apologetic bow.
"Hey, I'm okay, so no worries," he said with a first-class grin.
"Oh, thank goodness. I – I don't know what came over me... when you were um – kissing my breasts... it felt really nice but my mind kinda went blank, too," Moka said as she gave him a timid kiss on his mate mark.
"Ah, it's fine Moka. I'm just kinda – surprised that you wanted me to uh, do that to you. But I'm glad you liked it," he said as he gave her a warm hug.
"Mm-hmm. I certainly did and I wouldn't mind if we um, did a lot more next time."
"And here I thought you were the shy one."
"Oh Tsukune, even though I'm sometimes quiet and a little shy, I do have an interest in those sort of things."
"Well, I do too, you know. Besides, I wouldn't mind if you um, went to sleep in the nude and maybe... I will too," he said with another blush.
Even though it was a reasonably embarrassing topic, they were both being totally honest with each other. That was the most important part of any healthy relationship, no matter how strangely it may or may not have started out.
Having a vampire girlfriend with a dual personality is the very definition of strange.
"Really, Tsukune?"
"Yeah, really. Now, um, why don't we lay down again? Kissing you took a lot out of me."
"Oh, you're so cute, you know that?"
"So I've heard," he teased back.
"Would you like some help with your clothes?"
"Sure, Moka. I'm in your care."
Tsukune raised his arms over his head as Moka slowly lifted his tee shirt up and over his firm torso. She neatly folded it in half and then placed it on top of his computer desk.
"Oh my. I um... meant to ask you, Tsukune... but... do you um... workout?" Moka inquired with a slight blush as she ran her right hand over his flat abdomen.
"Uh, yeah. I've been working out since junior high, actually. I also took karate and Jiu-jitsu classes during high school. I try to get a few hours practice in each week at the gym in my office building," he said as she slowly removed his boxer shorts which fell to the carpeted floor with the assistance of gravity.
"I see. Interesting. Oh my... you're rather... excited, aren't you, love? Oh my god! Its really big, too. Is it painful?"
"Ah, sorry about that, and no, it's not too painful," he replied, as he attempted to hide his throbbing arousal but was futile in his efforts.
"It's fine, Tsukune. If you weren't aroused right now, then there would be something wrong," Moka said as he stepped out of his misplaced shorts.
"Oh, um, good point," he said as she grabbed his right hand and led him back to bed.
Moka crawled under the sheets first with her mate directly behind her.
"I guess this is something that we're both gonna have to get used to, right?"
"Yes, my love. Now that we're mates, it's customary for us to sleep together on a nightly basis," Moka informed him with an adorable smile.
"Really?" he asked, somewhat skeptically.
He was used to sharing a bed with her on a somewhat erratic schedule, due to the fact that he was her blood doll, whom she enjoyed being near and felt safe in his presence. She had admitted as much to Kyoko when she had asked the elder Aono woman about dating advice a few weeks ago, just before their first date.
Moka frequently had an unquenchable urge to take a nip of his sweet blood during all sorts of odd hours, during the night. Tsukune never denied her natural instinct, of course, and was quite happy to be there for her when she needed him the most so she would remain healthy.
"Yes, my love. I mean, we're still blood mates, but now that I've marked you as my mate, it's both my privilege and prerogative to have you near me during the night while we sleep... or even make love – when the time comes, naturally," she explained.
Moka then wrapped both of her arms around Tsukune's shoulders and then pulled him into her full, nude, breasts.
"Since you put it that way, then I suppose I'm gonna have to do my best."
"That's all I ask, Tsukune. I really want you to be happy and comfortable, too. Now let's try to get some rest, okay?"
"Sure thing, Moka."
"Good night, Tsukune. I love you."
"Good night, Moka. I love you, too."
After their last kiss of the night, the young couple fell into the peaceful pull of slumber and held each other for the remainder of the night. Whatever the future held for Moka and Tsukune, they would face it together and make sure that her dream of co-existence between humans, yokai, and ayashi came to fruition.

A/N:
I'm finished! I hope everyone liked this chapter and yes, Moka finally marked Tsukune as her mate. They didn't go all the way in this chapter but came pretty close. They will make love when the plot calls for it because I have decided to slow the pace of the story down since I'm working full time now. I will update when my busy schedule allows.
Please feel free to "Follow" this story for future chapters so you will know via e-mail and can read it as soon as I update it. Thanks again for the reviews, faves, and continued support!
Until next time,
