To let you know their's a reason Moka seems so out of character. It won't be told till later though.

Also the new issue is just around the corner. Less that a month and we'll have it back


Chapter 8: Changing times


Niiru was sitting in his room contently watching a Japanese baseball game. The game however had dragged into extra innings leaving Niiru gazing at the screen and start to feel lightheaded. He took a quick glance at his alarm clock and noticed that it was about midnight. Niirutook in a deep breath and cupped his hands over his face. He knew he had to get up and go but he just knew that it would be a mistake for himself. After pondering for a few seconds Niiru lifted his aching body up and staggered to his bathroom. He flipped the sink on and splashed some cold water on his face to wake.

"Ugh just another night among friends I suppose." he slipped on his favorite sweatpants and shirt, and the decided to put on his Boston Red Sox hat. Looking at the clock now Niiru saw it was about three minutes to midnight. He swore to himself and picked up his IPod while slipping on his Nike's. The song Let it be Sung came on. (Advertising)

Niiru rushed out the door not bothering to lock it. He knew no one would steal anything from his room or they would fear their choice. Tonight Niiru decided to run instead of fly. Flying seemed easier and quicker but this time he proposed himself a challenge by getting to the meeting spot on time. Niiru dashed under the pale light of the half moon that shone above his head. He quickly looked at his watch and saw that he had about a minute and a quarter left.

"No time to waste now." he sighed as he began to pick up his pace in the night. He then spotted the two people he was suppose to meet, at least he knew that he was suppose to come.

Niiru walked up to Tsukune and Moka who were bothsitting down on a bench holding each other with care. Niiru slowed his run down to a slight jog. Tsukune looked over his shoulder at him and tilted his head a bit.

"You do know you don't have to keep coming out every night, right?" Tsukune questioned his classmate. Niiru had made it a habitto come withthem on their training nights to "watch over" them. It really wasn't that so much as it was him protecting them really. He would travel with them to the Chairman's office then would leave for a few hours then went back to the front of the building and waited for them.

Theirs a few things you must understand. The first being that no one in the school knew Tsukune and Moka were going out. The second also meaning that if Kurumu, Mizore and Yukari were to find out it would mean that they would try and interfere with the relationship. Their also being Mokas little sister, she had yet been given the "news" of her sisters activities with Tsukune. The last fact was that Niiru had taken it upon himself after learning of their relationship to keep them together. He used this as a sign of friendship towards the two vampires. He felt a civic duty was needed and that he owed them for some reason. This also meant however redirecting any and every person when they were having an intimate moment together.

"Let's just say if something happened that I couldn't stop, I would just get angry at myself. Right now I have sworn myself to protect you two for as long as my services are needed. Besides I was late today." Niiru brought his IPod out from his pocket and shut it down.

"But why?" asked Moka as she turned her head to greet Niirus face. Niiru sighed to himself. He had always been one to protect others even if they didn't ask for it.

"It's something very personal. I just wish to be.......a body guard for you two. So to speak at least. I don't think you should see it as a bad thing." Niiru rubbed the back of his neck with a twinge of pain in his hand.

"Well at least give yourself a day off every now and then." Moka looked at him thankfully. Niiru shook his head.

"No such thing as a day off. That's how I was before and that's certainly going to be how I am now." with that Niiruturned his back on the two, "Shouldn't you two be going now? I mean I'm really only suppose to guard you before your training sessions." with that last word Niiru felt a slight amount of killer intent rise through the air. He closed his eyes. One person he had not wanted to let know was here.

"Really it would be a pain if you two had to deal with Kurumutonight, I mean seriously. She'll kill me if you don't go now." with that the succubus came out from behind the bushes running, claws out and ready to stike down the middle of the two. Moka and Tsukune each moved to their opposite side while Kurumu hit the middle in between the two. They were both standing now as the bench had been destroyed. Niiru sighed to himself.

"What is this!" Kurumu screamed as she regained her footing. She looked at Moka with something that screamed pure hate and loath. She was about to strike her, Niiru however jumped at Kurumu and tackled her to the ground before she could commit the action.

"Please go now." sighed Niiru as he held the angry sucubus below him.

"Try not to get beat up." Tsukunes eyes looked down at Kurumu with a twinge of hate. He had always been interrupted when with Moka before this and it seemed nothing had changed one bit. He was friends with all the newspaper club members but it got to a point where obsessions were just to much.

With that Tsukune and Moka calmly walked away hand in hand. Moka looked back with a sad look. That left Niiru with the increasingly angry Kurumu. She was still having a hard time getting up. Niiru just held her as someone would hold a dog trying to run after a car.

"Get off!" she screamed as Moka and Tsukune got out of sight. Niiruheld both of her arms down with one hand as he slipped his IPod back in his ears. He turned the volume onto full blast. Kurumu in the mean time was still screaming and thrashing. Niiru was giving her a very bored look as she began to try and kick Niiru off. Niiruremained unfazed as her foot connected with his gut.

"Oh come off it now. You know you won't get free." with that Kurumus eyes sparkled slightly. She brought her foot and connected with Niirus jewels. With the swift kick Niirus face twisted in pain and his strong grip released. He fell down on top of Kurumu his face landing between her breasts. He found heaven in between them.

"Now get off me!" she screamed as she slid Niiru off. Niiru feel to the ground with a thump and the feeling of pure pain.

"Agh n...no get back here." Niiru managed to grab onto Kurumus ankles just as she was about to take off. That got him a painful kick to the face. After that everything went dark for Niiru.

Moka and Tsukune however had been walking towards the board members room. They had entered the great building and were now proceeding towards the stairs. Tsukune looked at Moka and sighed happily. Moka knew that he was going to experience something that would either shatter him or make him stronger. She also figured that she would have to tell him the prophecy. These days where it was only the two of them would also change.

"You know these times with only you are great." Moka looked up at him as they reached the door. She seemed to be contemplating something on whether or not to say. The look on her face troubled Tsukune, "What is it Moka?"

Moka however just smiled and wrapped her shoulder around his and leaned on him, "Oh it's nothing to important right now I guess." with that the doors to the Chairman's room opened revealing the white robbed man.

"Well now. It seems you two are here again." with that he gave an eerie smile.

"With all due respect we are training to get me stronger right?" the Chairman lifted an eyebrow at Tsukunes remark.

"Heheh I suppose you are. Now come if you wish to go at it again." with that he turned and beckoned them with his finger to follow him. They followed closely behind as the Chairman set up the portal. To them it was normal watching, however, to anyone else it would have seemed like a hole came out of thin air. They both looked at each other and walked through the portal that was only known to a select amount of people. Inside the training would start up yet again.


Moka and Tsukune were going at it fiercely. They had been working hard all night and the climax of their training had started. This nights training was especially difficult. Moka had put restraints on Tsukunes legs to make him heavier. She had also blindfolded him in order to make his 6th sense come out so to speak. Tsukune had been hit various times but was dodging most of the attacks now. At the moment Tsukune had been roundhouse kicked in the gut and was reeling backwards. Moka stopped as she saw the pain befalling onto Tsukune.

"Tsukune......?" she watched as Tsukune fell to the ground in utter pain. He wasn't clutching his side however, he was holding his neck with shaking arms. Moka'seyes widened as she noticed what was going on with Tsukune. It was a reaction to the vampire blood that had become dominant inside his body. His eyes were shut hard as continued to groan in pain.

"Tsukune!" she yelled out as she went to the ground next to Tsukune. She pulled his top half up so that he was in her arms, his head resting on her chest. His back rested on her thighs as he was still feverishly groaning in pain. Moka knew exactly then that he was going to be okay though. She knew the risk of someone turning into a vampire, it could kill the person easily. She knew Tsukune was going to be okay though. She just had a little hunch. She held Tsukune tightly as she caressed his cheek tenderly.

"Moka?" Tsukune opened his eyes to see the powerful and almost unmovable Moka crying as she was holding him. A tear struck Tsukunes forehead. With that the pain Tsukune was lifted and yet it became heavier and deeper. Tsukune placed his hand on Mokas cheek and cleared the tears from her face. With his other hand he clasped Mokas hand that was comforting him. He couldn't stand to see her like this. It might have been the first time but it sure as hell would be the last. Moka however knew what was coming and knew it was going to get worse for Tsukune. She had yet to notice that she crying. She also hadn't notice the change of position.

Tsukune had turned around to face her and hugging her tightly as to not let go of her. "No. Stop it. I don't want to ever see you cry. So please be happy." Moka gaped at the statement but replied with a hug as she rested her head on his shoulder. She felt a change in her, and something became evident to her. She was coming down to a more emotional level than she had ever to anyone. She would have normally shunned off such feelings and shielded her heart. However with Tsukune she felt as though she could be held by him all day. She returned the embrace even more and began weeping on his shirt.

"I feel myself changing Tsukune. You also, you're going to change to much." she spoke to him in between muffled gasps. Her head felt dizzy and her heart felt heavy. It was the first time she had felt anything like this.

"Moka, it's alright. If you change you just have to go with it. I know I'll love you all the same." Moka looked him in the eyes. Her heavy heart became light as a feather as his lips touched hers, "We can both change together can't we?" withthat they both sat their with each others embrace. Nothing was more comforting and more accepted than the touch of each other.

They both knew what was coming. Everything around them was going to change for the better or for the worst. They both would face those changing time together.
