Okay, I know a lot of people are unsatisfied with the current events, and so, I am relieved to announce that the explanation of what the heck is going on will commence. Whoever writes should know that once an idea is put on paper, it grows, and can't control it, only guide it. Fortunately, the story has gotten to the more explanative stages, so hopefully I have answered a lot of *cough, cough a certain someone's cough, cough* questions


(Moka's POV)

Ugh… W-what? Ack, her head. It felt like it was on fire, what had she done? Sitting up, Moka glanced around, trying to find where she was. And apparently, she was on the rooftop, overlooking the sea. She groaned and winced again. Her head throbbed painfully and she curled into the fetal position, hugging herself tightly. Realizing the furry, wet feeling that accompanied her wasn't there, with enormous effort, she managed to lift her head, but the pain flared again and she immediately curled tighter.

"Ouch… Why does it hurt so much?" What did she do? How had she gotten here?

'Back up… Lets see… I was following Gin and Tsukune, then watched them as the looked at that window… I saw Gin… take a picture…? And I remember getting REALLY angry… And then…' The rest was a hazy impenetrable blur… but she distinctly recalled the hate she had felt… The bottled up emotion of anger…

Well, she had successfully managed to distract herself from the pain, and Moka was able to slowly move into a sitting position. The pain was bearable now, and she looked about for her little orange friend.

"Naru-chan? Where are you? Naru-chan?" Moka heard snicker and snort of disgust behind her, but the pain held her she head in place. "Who are you? Are you the one who brought me here?" The voice was definitely male, surprisingly light, and cheery. A child's perhaps.

"Me? No, never, I would never do such a thing. You did" Moka sputtered, and retorted

"Right, I just walked here and don't remember a thing?" The sounds of hands slapping together, behind her.

"Correct. Wow, you really are a smart girl, you catch on much quicker than others Moka-chan" Moka stiffened at the mention of her name.

"How do you—?"

"Know your name? Oh that's an easy one. I've known your name for quite a while now. How should I put it? You bumped into me and I spilled into your arms" Moka was indignant.

"You obviously did not! I would definitely remember something like that!"

"Oh, but you did" The female vampire shook her head, but the pain returned, and she stopped.

"No, I KNOW I didn't!" Suddenly there was a little blonde kid wearing an orange jumpsuit balancing on one foot in front of her, staring her straight in the eye.

"So you don't recognize me? Ah well, since the smart one can't connect the furry little dots, then it'll remain a secret for now" Moka scowled at the boy who was talking so smugly.

"What do you mean?" But the boy waved aside the question.

"Never mind. I suppose you have no idea what a blood exchange is?"

"Of course I do! It's when a vampire exchanges blood with another of his or her kind, and they form a special unbreakable pact. But it only works if their love is strong enough, but the plus side is they both can become at least twice as strong!" Then her scowl returned. "But why did I just tell you that?" The boy nodded.

"Well, I suppose that's partly right, or maybe it's just that this world has a different kind of blood pact, although they are similar enough to be variations of the same seal… Hrm… Much to think about now…" Moka pain was starting to ebb… If she could just stall for a couple more minutes…

"Why do you want to know? Only Vampires should know of the Blood Pact, and you are definitely not old enough to receive that info even if you were a vampire!" The blonde winked.

"Looks can be deceiving" Moka desperately tried to think, trying to fire question after question.

"Well… Why… Why do you want to know about all this stuff?"

"Because it's interesting"

"How did I get here?" The blonde looked disappointed.

"You already asked that, why can't you think of something original? And here I was thinking you were smarter than the rest"

"But you didn't answer me" Moka said, which earned a laugh from the boy.

"But I did! You just didn't accept it!"

"Yeah, but it's impossible!"

"Like how its impossible for a human to be in this school?" Moka stopped, biting her lip. How had he known that?
"This is fun! Ask me more questions!" Now he was just toying with her, but not for long…

"What did you do to me?" Sigh. His blood buddy really wanted answers didn't she? Well, he couldn't blame her. He held his hands open.

"Nothing physically. All I did was let your emotions out. They were all yours; I just let them go free. Didn't it feel relieving?"

"No, it hurts"

"A minor detail"

"What do you mean by letting my emotions out?"

"Exactly what I said. You were bottling all those evil little devils, and I made sure they were satisfied. I in no way tried to hurt you. I would never do anything so dastardly! Oh, Tsukune will tell you, he knows. He's been so much fun, so unpredictable; he even managed to break free of me for a bit. I can't wait to see what he'll do next" Moka almost jumped up and tried to rip his head off. Then she was horrified with herself. What was she thinking? Only her own willpower kept her from moving before she had healed enough.

"What does… Tsukune… have to do with this?"
"Oops, let a little too much slip. Sorry, can't say any more than that" Frustration welled inside her head, but she fought it down.

"Who are you? And what do you want from me?"

"Oh, absolutely nothing. But as for my name… Hrm… Kurama will do for now. Is there anything else you would like to know then?" Moka could finally control her body freely, so she twirled with her legs out in the air so fast, she rose a few inches, then landed back on her feet. Kurama had hopped backwards a few feet, grinning happily.

"Good, good. You can move already, as expected of the great vampire clan" Moka ignored his words and proceeded to attack him with a wave of kicks. But no matter how sharply she moved, or how strongly she lashed out, the orange turd seemed to twist and turn JUST~ enough to dodge her blows. With a final grunt, Moka preformed a roundhouse kick, but Kurama just ducked and jumped backwards.

"Very nice, but not enough yet. You'll get there someday. C'mere, let me show you something" Moka jumpeda forward, foot extended, but somehow, Kurama slithered around her leg, over her head, and held in her with her arms behind her back, bent in a way that if she moved, her joints locked together, causing enormous amounts of pain again. She struggled, but when she focused in front of her, she gasped. She saw Gin, lying in a heap, in a crater, at the front of the school.

"Yesss~" Kurama drawled. "That was you my dear. You caused all of this, you destroyed him, and you unlocked your hidden powers. You know it was intoxicating" Moka went limp in shock. This happened… because of her…? She would never beat somebody so… but… Flashes of memories spiked through her brain, and she could vaguely remember the feeling of something under her foot.

"I would love to stick around and play ask and answer, but unfortunately, my time is rather limited. And that limit is now. So consider this last piece of advice from an experienced man to a troubled friend. Don't trust foxes. They are cunning little bastards, don't I know it. Also, getting angry and using violence solves all problems, if used enough. And I'm your friend, and don't trust Tsukune and—" Moka screamed, grit her teeth, and brought her legs up behind her. The grip on her arms released, she spun around again, but Kurama was gone. Instead, a piece of paper lay where moments ago he had stood. She picked it up, nearly dropping it as she realized how heavy it was. She unfolded it… and stared. The impossible had happened again. Inside the paper, was her Rosary. Grabbing her hair she almost ripped it off staring at it. Her hair colour was pink. She slammed her fist against the wall, and everything he had said swam through her thoughts. The seed of suspicion and confusion had been planted.


(Tsukune's POV)

Yawn… What a night. He had been unable to properly fall asleep, worrying for how Gin would react to how he had treated him. He had suddenly become angry, and somehow gained the strength of a monster. It was one of the most frightening things he'd ever felt, and he was afraid it would maul him in the night. Eventually, he'd fallen asleep due to sheer exhaustion. But that had been about an hour ago. Now, the lack of rest was coming back to bite at him.

'Heh… Wonder how my blood will taste now…' He chuckled at his own grim humor, but then he grimaced. Such thoughts did not usually occur to him. 'Just what's wrong with me?'

He turned the corner and bumped into a uniform. It was another student, a little larger than Tsukune was, and Tsukune immediately feared for his health. But the boy didn't turn around, not even acknowledging the human's presence. But there were more people, all looking in the same direction, whispering, murmuring, questioning. Fear dropped like a hot stone in Tsukune's stomach, and he squeezed his way to the front. He kept pushing, moving, and—

Trip

There was a ledge that Tsukune had not spotted until the last moment and he fell forward, tumbling down. Rubbing his sore areas, he got to his knees and looked up. There saw a face caked in blood staring right back, the face of his senior. It was Gin-sempai. Tsukune froze in terror, and he refused to move. Was he dead? Tsukune leaned in an inch closer, straining his ears.

Who…

Huh…

Who…

Huh…

He was breathing. What a relief.

"Hey! Somebody! Get the school nurse! Why hasn't anybody called her yet?" The school nurse who had tended Tsukune before shoved her way through the crowd, but she also tripped and fell down the crater. When she stopped rolling she hopped to her feet and saluted to no one.
"Mako Yakumaru reporting for duty! OMYGOSHTHERESADEADPERSONTHERESOMEONECALLTHENURSE! Oh wait, that's me!" She bonked her head and stuck out her tongue. She brought out some bandages and some sort of liquid, and began to tend Gin. Tsukune looked at the clouds lazily floating by, and wondered what it would it be like to live like that. Aimlessly going wherever he wished, making good and bad weather, and just releasing all the bad stuff whenever he felt like it.

Tsk

Tsukune felt a flash of… something at the back of his mind, and he spun around. It was just the school, nothing unusual. Hrm.

Ding Dong

The school bell rang, and the students hurried to their classes. Tsukune followed suit, and got to his seat. There wasn't much need to hurry, school wouldn't start for another half an hour.


(Kurumu's POV)
Kurumu hopped and skipped down the path. Another to spend with her Destined One. Ah, life was good. Now if only that blood sucking vampire weren't here… She sunk into herself into plenty of scenarios of where Moka didn't exist, and she could be alone with her darling.

Before she knew it, the bell had ringed, and she was in her desk, smiling at the back of Tsukune's head. Ms. Nekonome called attendance, and everyone had answered. Except Moka. Strange. Moka was fine just yesterday, when they had been arguing about the usual.

"Moka? Moka-chan? Now where could she be? Has anyone heard from her?" There was a chattering as friends turned to each other to answer in the negative. Tsukune's back seemed to become smaller, and he stood, noisily scraping the chair against the floor.

"Ah, Tsukune, where are you—" In concern and curiosity, Kurumu also stood, shouting

"Sensei! Can I go to the washroom as well?" The poor teacher nodded, and the two left before she could change her mind. Kurumu ran out, scanning the halls for her Destined One.


(Moka's POV)

She couldn't even tell whether to be angry or sad. She just felt… empty. The lies she had been told, the things that Kurama had said… There was no way they were true… right? Released her emotions? Impossible, it just wasn't possible, and she never got angry. What was all this about Naru-chan? Don't trust him? He was a fox for crying out loud. Monster or not, it wasn't like he had done anything wrong! Other than maybe the occasional prank.

'What do I do…?' He had said they already met… But she knew she had never seen somebody like him in her entire life. And how did he know about the Blood Pact? He couldn't have been a vampire could he? And he had so easily avoided all her attacks… DAMN IT! She punched the wall beside her in frustration, and it crumbled to bits.

"YIKES! HOLY CRAP THAT WAS CLOSE!" Moka turned in shock to see Tsukune. He'd been standing behind the wall Moka had just demolished, and she'd very nearly attacked him.
"Oh! Tsukune! I'm so sorry!" Tsukune sat down beside her.
"And when have you been the type of person to take things out on poor walls?" It had probably been a joke, he trying to cheer her up, but this just made her guilt and pain even sharper. She tried to hide it, but somehow Tsukune was very perceptive this morning.

"What's wrong?" Moka felt another rush of memories and feelings, afraid that they would show on her face, Moka turned away.

"I-it's nothing. I'm fine" Moka couldn't see Tsukune, but she could practically feel his reassuring smile that always made her feel better.

"You don't believe me do you?" She pouted.

"No, but I'm sure you're gonna tell me aren't you?" They sat in silence, until Moka let down the wall she had kept in between them with her attitude. It came out a bit shakily at first, but the more she said, the calmer she became.


(Tsukune's POV)

Holy crap was he nervous. By some favor of the heavens, he had been able to calmly sit down and ask Moka what was wrong. She had even told him. Inside, Tsukune felt like crying in happiness, he could be dependable when it mattered right? But as Moka continued, he kept up his patient face, but he it sank in how similar her situation was to his.

"And that Kurama guy had taken off my Rosary, and I hadn't transformed. He did something to me Tsukune, I didn't even think about kicking him, it just happened. I didn't think it was wrong at all, I was just thinking about how to get rid of him. Something's wrong with me Tsukune, and what if I'm going to think about this all the time?" Tsukune sat there, both their legs dangling precariously from the roof, but for Moka's sake, he swallowed his fear, and continued to sit there.

"Moka, you said you wanted to hurt him after he said something about me right?" She nodded.

"Well, that means you wanted to protect me right?" That stopped Moka. She hadn't thought of it like that. Mustering every bit of courage he had left, he took her hand and stared her in the eyes. Moka was visibly reddening in the morning light.

"Y-y-yeah, I-I-I guess. W-w-why?" Tsukune ignored the sudden desire to kiss her.

"Because you were angry for me right? Then I'm really happy. Thank you Moka-san" Steam was shooting out of the vampire's ears, and she turned away.

"Y-y-y-your w-w-w-welcome!" Tsukune got up and started to walk back to the door. Heading towards the door, Tsukune stopped halfway, and turned back. He closed his eyes so as not to be blinded by the sun, gave his biggest smile, and said

"Well, whatever happens next Moka-san, I'll always be by your side, protecting you" He started to turn, but a heavy weight landed on him before he could move.

"Tsukune…" He opened his eyes to see Moka staring at him. She wasn't looking at his neck, but more at his… lips. Bringing his mouth closer to hers, slowly, ever so slowly, they moved closer, and closer… and closer… Until—

"AH! This is where you two were! Naru-chan and I were looking all over for you! That was sneaky! What were you two doing?" Kurumu's face peered at the couple, Naruto's enjoying the usual hubbub of humans, and the two jumped away from each other.

"Nothing! Nothing at all!" They yelled at the same time, as if they were in an army drill caught talking. Kurumu glared pointedly at Moka, her gaze accusing.

"You little thief! Tsukune is mine I tell you!" She shoved him into her bosom, and Tsukune could feel his face burning with enjoyment and embarrassment. That, and his lack of oxygen.

"What are you doing? I knew Tsukune first!" She pulled him away from the lair of womanhood, and hugged him close as well. Tsukune was knocked to the floor when Kurumu put her breast challengingly up to Moka's.

"Oh yeah? Look at the size of these compared to yours! How inferior! OHOHOHOHOHOH!" She laughed like the last evil boss of a video game.

Moka, unwilling to back down, stood on her tiptoes to gain the advantage of gravity. Staring daggers into each other's eyes, they kept fighting as lionesses would over prey.

While the two females were fighting, Naruto hopped of his perch on Kurumu's shoulder, and went to comfort his friend.

"Kyuu?" Tsukune staggered to his knees, and attempted to put out the raging fire he had unwittingly created.

"Would you two calm down? We really have to go back to class" Moka and Kurumu both switched their gaze to Tsukune. He gulped.

"So Tsukune? Which one of us is better? Who do you like more?" The same question, asked every time, every day, always gone unanswered. Tsukune did what he usually did. He ran, Naruto happily treading at his feet.

"Kyuu!"

"PLEASE DON'T ASK ME TO CHOOSE!"
