Kokoa was sitting in her first period class with a look of anger on her face, the same look she had all morning. Everybody in her classroom knew well enough to stay away from her and not talk to her about anything that might set her off. Even the teacher was reluctant to call upon her unless he felt he had to. Today she hasn't been called on once. No surprise there, since her vampire aura was glowing around her. She was trying her best to restrain herself, but was having a little trouble.
'How could she… how dare she… that snow woman will pay for taking my potential mate! He is far too strong and powerful for the likes of her. Only a vampire of my caliber would be suitable for him… and yet… he kissed her. WHY?'
Each time she played the scene in her head her aura fluxed and caused students around her to jump up slightly. The whole class was pretty much counting the seconds until they could get out of there. And so was she.
'I'm going to make that bitch pay for stealing him! I won't lose to her! I won't!'
As the end period bell rang the girl glanced around then down at her desk. Slowly she stood up and walked out of the room as she tried to maintain her grace. Once she was gone the entire class breathed a sigh of relief and started to leave as well.
"Well, here goes," Tsukune said before taking a deep breath. He reached out and removed the rosary around his girlfriend's neck. A bright light engulfed the room as a wave of powerful vampiric energy swept through. At the center of the light Moka stood up, her hair turning from bright pink to silver, her eyes shifting from green to blood red, and her bust size increasing noticeably. She stood amongst all the friends who knew her power well, and a boy who was in love with her. Once her transformation was complete she looked at Tsukune with her usual expression, although with a bit more anger.
"So, I guess I get to be third then don't I?" she inquired, the annoyance in her voice making Tsukune feel uneasy.
"This isn't a competition," Rason said gently, hoping to calm the vampire down before more of the school took damage.
"Was I speaking to you?" she asked Rason, this time with a small glare. Rason just backed up a bit and looked to Tsukune nervously.
"Hey, calm down. I haven't gotten kiss yet either and I'm not throwing a fit," Kurumu added as she saw Rason backing up in fear of his life. Inner Moka just looked at her with a raised eyebrow.
"Right, and that's supposed to make me feel better? You kiss a guy and he becomes your slave. Don't compare yourself to me succubus," she said with a stern tone.
"Slave?" Rason asked confused.
"If a succubus kisses a guy, he becomes her slave forever," Yukari explained. Rason thought for a moment about that then looked to Kurumu.
"I thought that only happened if you used Charm on them first," he said scratching his head. Kurumu looked at him puzzled and then with a bit of wonder.
"How would you know that?" she asked.
"I've researched the succubus origins and backgrounds last night. The stories say that the man will only become a slave if Charm is used on them before the kiss," he said. Kurumu just looked at him curiously as the boy glanced around at the group.
"Really…" she said softly. She looked up and thought for a moment, then back to Rason. She wasn't aware of that little detail; she was under the impression that if she kissed a guy she really would turn him into a slave. She looked at Rason curiously then smiled slightly.
'I wonder…'
"And why were you researching that kind of stuff angel boy?" she asked with a sly smile on her face. Rason flinched at hearing that nickname again, but responded with a nervous smile.
"I… I was just curious," he stammered. Kurumu walked closer to Rason with an innocent expression.
"Really? Is that the only reason?" she asked with a sweet tone. Rason started to laugh nervously and rub the back of his head as the girl walked closer to him still, her eyes locked onto him like a cat with a mouse.
"Uh… yeah, heh heh. What's so wrong with that?" he asked with a shrug and a nervous smile. She took another step closer to Rason and put a finger to her mouth worriedly.
"But those are just stories after all, how can you be sure they are true?" she asked with a curious tone. Rason looked at her nervously then down.
"Ah, well… I don't know really…" he said slowly. Again Kurumu stepped closer to Rason with a coy smile.
"So if you don't know, doesn't that worry you? If I were to kiss you right here, right now, you might become my mindless slave for all time," she said with a seductive voice. Rason just looked at her, having no emotion or fear, and stared into her eyes. Kurumu stopped and looked at him as he seemed to fall silent.
'Uh oh, maybe I went too far…'
"Uh, sorry, I didn't mean to-"
"You're right, that could happen," Rason said suddenly as he took a step closer and grinned at her. She backed up a step as he shrugged.
"I could become a mindless slave to a girl like you, just like that. Kind of takes all the romance out of the relationship doesn't it? A man would naturally try to avoid such a dire fate," he continued while looking at her with a knowing smile. Kurumu just stood there stunned, not knowing what to say.
"Ah… yeah… I suppose…" she said slowly before she looked down.
'If I kiss a guy, he would likely become a slave forever. What if I kissed my Destined One and he turned into one as well? What's the point then…'
"Still…" he said, getting her attention. She looked up to see his face near hers. She gasped and stared at him with wide eyes.
"To not kiss you Kurumu, would be a worse fate," he said gently. And with that he leaned in and kissed her. Everybody but Inner Moka and Dark jumped at the sight. Kurumu felt the tingle stronger than ever, it burned within, yet felt so warm and comforting. The feeling, the emotion, the excitement all flowed through her like lightning. Whatever it was she felt surged through her wildly as she stared with wide eyes at the angel that was kissing her.
'This is happening! He's kissing me! What... what do I do?'
She couldn't form any thoughts or actions. She just froze and let him kiss her. After a moment her eyes slowly closed and she kissed back. That feeling from within seemed to surge all through her, the girl feeling like she was bathed in blinding light. After a while he backed up, breaking the kiss. She slowly opened her eyes and gazed at the boy who was so bold with amazement. He was smiling at her, making that sensation within burn even brighter. She blinked a few times then spoke quietly.
"Rason…" she said under her breath. Rason merely tilted his head while waiting for her to continue.
"Bark like a dog," she said. Everybody just staggered a bit when they heard that. After Rason regained himself he chuckled and shook his head.
"I don't think so Kurumu," he said with a laugh. Her eyes went wide as her smile spread across her face. The boy didn't do as she ordered, he was still himself.
'He has free will! He's not a slave!'
Suddenly everything clicked for her. The strange connection she had with him, even before she knew what it was. The way she felt for him, and the way he felt for her. And why she let him, no, wanted him to kiss her then.
'He's… he is… he's my-'
"Are you KIDDING ME?" roared an angry vampire and getting everybody's attention again. Everybody looked to Inner Moka as she was glaring at Kurumu with her vampire aura flaring around her.
"So now I get to be FOURTH?" she yelled out with anger. Kurumu realized that she was the cause of the sudden anger and backed up nervously, trembling a bit as she saw the dark look in the vampire's crimson eyes.
"Um, well… sorry?" she stammered out.
"Sorry? You're sorry? Tell me, did you do that on purpose? Just to spite me?" Inner Moka demanded as she walked towards the frightened girl. Kurumu shook her head with fear as Rason looked between the two worriedly.
"No! I didn't! It's just… I wanted to do that with him, honest!" she pleaded as she backed up.
'Great, I finally find my Destined One, and then I get to die right away.'
"Give me one good reason I shouldn't beat the crap out of you right now little succubus," Inner Moka said with hatred as the blue haired girl backed into a wall.
"I… uh… um…" she stuttered out.
'I can't believe I'm going to die now of all times. This is so unfair! I only got one kiss from him!'
"Moka stop!" a voice yelled from behind. Inner Moka stopped, and then turned around to see for herself who just told her to stop. Sure enough it was Tsukune. He walked towards her slowly with concern.
"Stop this, this isn't a competition. It never was," he said gently as he walked up to the vampire who was taken back by the fact he spoke to her so directly.
"Tsukune..." she said as she looked into his eyes. Tsukune gazed into the eyes of the girl he loved. She was a monster, a powerful vampire, but he loved her. He loved both sides of her.
'I can't be afraid anymore…'
He knew he had to be strong, and to be brave. He had to show Inner Moka that he loved her and wanted to be with her. He remembered what he had gone through to be her boyfriend.
"If you want Moka, and we all know you do, you have to call out your own power."
'My own power…'
"The one I want to have as my girlfriend… is Moka."
'For the one…'
"Tsukune…"
'I love.'
Tsukune looked to Inner Moka with determination. He knew he couldn't back down now. He had to let her know once and for all how he truly felt about her. He walked up to her slowly and placed his hand on her cheek. She seemed a bit surprised he would be so bold at first then regained her composure and smirked at him.
"So, you think you can just touch me like that when you feel like it?" she said with a cocky attitude. But her smirk vanished when Tsukune chuckled.
"Let me guess, you're going to tell me to know my place?" he said softly while looking into her eyes. His smile stayed on his face, not once did it flinch.
"Well if you knew that would be the response, then why would you tread so close to pain, do you enjoy learning your place?" she said again, with her cocky attitude returning.
"Because, I already know my place Moka," he said calmly. Inner Moka just stared at him curiously, unable to say anything back. Before she could ask anything he continued again.
"My place Moka, is with you," Tsukune said, then leaned in and kissed her. He kissed her with every ounce of energy he had. He would hold nothing back from showing her how he felt. Everybody in the room stared in shock, which quickly turned to fear. Anybody who upset this side of Moka would likely be sent to an early grave. Even Dark, who still just watched with his usual blank expression, took a step back and extended his arm out to shield Mizore from any possible harm. Kurumu and Rason watched with wide eyes, both wondering if Tsukune would live to realize what he had done. Yukari however stared at them with stars in her eyes.
'Please tell me I can still get in on that!'
Inner Moka just looked at the human boy who was kissing her with wide eyes, surprised by his sudden action.
'He actually did it… he really did… Tsukune…'
Slowly her eyes closed and her arms went around his waist to hold him. She wasn't swatting him off, or kicking him into oblivion. She didn't fight back in the slightest. Rather she held him closely, not wanting it to end. The feeling between the two was perfect, and even though she was a proud vampire, even though she was stronger than anybody in that room, she felt like she had a knight in shining armor herself. It was his bravery and his heart that the vampire admired in her mate.
Once the kiss broke and he stepped back they gazed into each other's eyes. Inner Moka looked at the boy in front of her, and for a second saw blood red eyes gazing back at her. She blinked once then they were the same brown color she had always known. He gave her a warm smile and spoke with high confidence.
"That was my first kiss as well Moka. You and your other self are both my firsts and nothing will ever change that," he said calmly.
"Well, technically I-" Yukari started to say until Kurumu slapped her hand around the witch's mouth forcibly.
Hearing Tsukune say this caused the silver haired vampire to blush slightly, though she quickly regained herself. She looked at him with her usual stare which slowly turned into a calm smile.
"Well then, I suppose I will have to accept that. That was indeed a true first kiss for me as well. Thank you Tsukune, for that gift," she said gently. For her, even a smile seemed like a challenge to fight to the death, but this time Tsukune felt no fear from her. He only felt his bond with the girl in front of him, both sides of the girl he knew he loved.
"Wow, somebody grew a pair pretty quickly," Rason commented, earning a nervous laugh from Tsukune.
"I would expect no less from my boyfriend, after all-" Inner Moka said proudly, then looked at Tsukune with an impressed smile.
"He is part vampire."
Tsukune just laughed a bit as he rubbed the back of his head. He then looked around to his friends. In the past, if he ever tried this or even mentioned an intent do so, his harem would have torn him apart. Yet now everybody was looking at him with approval. Even Dark gave a nod towards him. Tsukune felt so happy that his life was changing like this, that he had Moka, both sides of her, as his girlfriend and could still remain friends with those he cared about. He looked back to his girlfriend and smiled at her.
"Anything for you Moka," he said calmly.
'Anything for you my love.'
"Well, I never thought I would say this, but congrats you two," Kurumu said with a smile and a shrug. She couldn't be mad anymore; she had no right to be. Those two were together now, not that it mattered as it seemed she had her own boyfriend now.
"Yes, congrats," Mizore added with a smile of her own. The snow maiden was happy Moka and Tsukune could remain friends with her still, and she was even more excited about the thought that she had a boyfriend of her own as well.
"Yay! So how about me?" Yukari cheered as she leapt towards Tsukune, only to be grabbed in midair. She blinked then looked to see Inner Moka holding her with one hand and raising an eyebrow at her.
"What about you? You weren't planning on touching my Tsukune just now were you?" she asked with annoyance. The young witch laughed nervously and then smiled innocently.
"Actually, I was hoping to touch both of you. Hee hee?" she said weakly. Inner Moka just smirked at the young girl causing her to turn pale with fear.
"Yukari?" she asked gently. Dark stepped aside and moved Mizore with him, the snow girl looking at him curiously.
"Know your place!" the vampire shouted as she kicked the witch straight out the window, the girl flying just past where Dark and Mizore watched from. Mizore just nodded once and looked to her boyfriend, happy that he was still protecting her from bullies and low flying witches.
"Um…" Tsukune said nervously as he watched Yukari vanish towards the nearby rotting forest from the sky. He paused then glanced to Inner Moka.
"Was that necessary?" he asked worriedly.
"Probably not, but it felt good. After all, I can be a little overprotective," she said with a wink before she walked over and kissed him on the lips again. Tsukune blinked then enjoyed the kiss from his girlfriend, reassuring himself that Yukari would be fine from her rough landing outside.
"Well, it's certainly never dull around you guys," Rason said as he looked around. He then looked to Kurumu and smiled causing the girl to smile bashfully at him.
"But that is certainly a good thing," he said with a wink. She smiled and jumped into his arms, both of them locking into a passionate kiss. She felt the sensation of lightning flowing through her lips again as she sighed with delight.
Mizore eyed the couples then looked down a bit.
'Maybe I should be more aggressive too. Maybe Dark would like that…'
She turned to face Dark, only to see he was facing her already. With one gentle motion he removed her candy from her mouth and pulled her into a kiss as well. The girl blinked in surprise then slowly closed her eyes as well.
'Or maybe not…'
As the three couples were lost in their moment two figures stood at the door, both of them having only opened it a crack. After a moment they began to walk away.
"So they paired up after all," Astreal said with her dull smile on her face.
"So, when do they become our boyfriends?" Apoch asked her sister innocently.
"Soon, patience dear sister," Astreal replied.
"And what of that witch that doesn't like us?" Apoch asked curiously.
"She won't be a problem," Astreal said reassuringly.
"I won't will I?" called a voice from behind. They turned around to see Ruby glaring at them.
"No, you won't," Astreal said as they turned to face the witch that had for once snuck up on them. Ruby managed to catch them spying on the group and heard what they said as they walked away from the door.
"What do you two want anyway? What are you planning?" Ruby asked as she walked closer to them, her wand at the ready.
"We need protection from a bad man," Apoch said.
"And they agreed to help us," Astreal continued.
"Somehow I don't think you mean well or that you have their best interests at heart. I say we go discuss this with the headmaster right now," Ruby said raising her wand. Apoch just giggled as Astreal stepped forward.
"No, we shall not go with you," Astreal said as she raised her hand. A bright red glow emanated from her arm as it concentrated in her wrist. Ruby watched with worry and surprise as Astreal's wrist began to glow brightly.
"We will be free from him no matter what Ms. Ruby," Astreal said with a glare.
"Him? Him who?" Ruby asked cautiously. Astreal and Apoch narrowed their eyes at the witch, both of them showing discontent for the first time. Ruby glanced between the two cautiously.
"You two… you're not here for Tsukune are you?" she asked slowly. The sisters just stared down the witch while Astreal held her attack at the ready. Ruby looked between the two then to the girl's hand that was glowing brightly.
"What… what is it that you two want?" she asked cautiously.
"Freedom," Astreal declared.
BLAM!
Time seem to stop altogether for the Tsukune and Inner Moka. Tsukune was kissing his girlfriend, well, one of them. Dating Moka meant dating two girls in one. The outer personality was always happy and bubbly, the picture perfect cute girl. The inner self was colder and focused, a strong fighter and arrogant as well. However both sides of the girl loved this boy the same. He risked his life to help them, even when he wouldn't have been able to do anything in his human form. He had even transformed into a vampire, well at least sort of, and was still trying to become stronger for them, to protect them both. It was because of his selflessness and his heart that the vampire had fallen for him completely.
Next to the happy vampire couple was another pair of students locked into a kiss. Oddly enough it was an angel and a succubus, two winged beings on opposite ends of the world. Yet their blossoming love was true. Rason held the girl close to him, embracing her, protecting her. Ever since he first laid eyes on the girl he wanted nothing more than to be with her. She didn't have to use her charm spells. And not once did she push his face into her breasts as she tried with Tsukune so many times before. There was a connection between the two from the start, even if they weren't fully aware of it. As Kurumu had found out they were destined to be together, it was fate. And she wasn't about to complain one bit.
The third couple in the room was also enjoying each other's embrace. Similar in some regards, these two students were also very different. Though both the silent type, and very stealthy, they had one big difference. Where Mizore had been shy and elusive when it came to chasing the object of her affection, Dark was rather bold and daring. He had swept the ice maiden off her feet many times, literally, and has expressed his greatest interest in her. When they first met they couldn't have been further apart, yet now it seemed they were inseparable. Dark may not have shown much about his personality, or said much to anybody, but the way he held the snow girl close to him and the way he kissed her softly yet with passion at the same time said enough on how he felt about her.
'Moka…'
'Tsukune…'
'Kurumu…'
'Rason…'
'Mizore…'
'Dark…'
Their minds were locked onto one thing and only one thing; each other. After a while the groups separated from their long embrace and simply gazed into each other's eyes.
"Well, we probably should get ready for the next class, what do you say my dear?" Rason said as he smiled at his new girlfriend. She smiled brightly and nodded, still amazed that she finally had found her true Destined One.
Dark and Mizore ended their kiss slowly, with the silent boy once again giving Mizore her lollipop back gently. She blinked a few times then smiled at him as he held her close still. He always had that calm expression while he was listening to his music.
'He's so… cool…'
"Well, I suppose I will have to wait to see you again. I hope I at least don't have to wait too long this time," Inner Moka said as she looked to the rosary seal in her hand.
"Of course not, I'll see you again real soon, I promise," Tsukune said with a smile. Inner Moka smiled at him and nodded, then reattached the rosary and changed back into the gentle Outer Moka. Her hair shifted back to pink as she collapsed into her boyfriend's arms while her bust size decreased slightly. When she awoke she looked at her love with bright eyes.
"Hey boyfriend!" she called out and hugged him closer.
Suddenly the whole room shook violently from an explosion happening very close to them. Snapping out of their paradise the three couples looked to the doorway.
"What was that?" Tsukune asked, still holding Moka close.
"It came from out in the hall," Rason called out. With that the group dashed out to find out what happened. They ran out and saw dust and debris engulfing the hallway. As the smoke settled two figures became visible, a girl with long blonde hair and a girl with short black hair.
"Astreal! Apoch!" Kurumu said loudly as the witch sisters became visible again.
"What's going on here?" Mizore asked.
The dust settled ahead of them as Astreal lowered her hand to her side. There was a faint image seen through the haze ahead of them. As the smoke cleared a familiar witch was seen lying on the ground with smoke was coming up from her. After a moment she slowly got up and faced the group.
"Ruby? My god, what happened? Are you ok?" Tsukune asked with concern.
"Stay back Tsukune, those two are dangerous!" Ruby yelled to her friends. She struggled to get up but she collapsed again. Her dress was tattered and bloodied and she was breathing heavily.
"Oh my," Apoch said in astonishment with wide eyes. She blinked then looked to her sister with wonder.
"She survived," she said with a shrug.
"I suppose I didn't use enough power with that strike, I will not make that mistake again," Astreal said with a smile and a shrug.
"What are you doing? How dare you attack her!" Kurumu yelled out while extending her nails.
"Explain yourself now," Mizore said coldly while forming her ice claws. The two sisters slowly turned back to face the group with calm smiles. They looked at Dark and Rason as the boys were watching them with narrowed eyes.
"You two certainly have been difficult to get to, you know that?" Astreal said with a smirk. The group glanced to the two boys then back to the group.
"Yes, though we shouldn't expect anything less from our protectors," Apoch said with a giggle.
"Protectors?" Rason asked.
"You're not making sense, what are you talking about? Why did you just attack our friend?" Tsukune yelled out.
"Sorry about having to play rough with your friend Mr. Tsukune, but I had no choice. I didn't want to hurt her, I really didn't. But I must do what I must do for our safety," Astreal said while shaking her head.
"We are sorry, but this is what must be done," Apoch said softly with a bit of remorse. With that the sisters held out their hands and began chanting in unknown languages. After a few seconds a bright light engulfed their hands, the energy swirling around like white fire and glowing brighter by the second.
"What are you talking about?" Moka said shaking her head. The two sisters glanced to her then looked back to the group. Astreal showed frustration then growled as she focused her sights on something.
"You can hate us if you must, but that won't stop us," she said grudgingly. She shook her head then looked ahead with a determined expression alongside her sister.
"No matter what we will be free!" she yelled as they fired their bright magical spells towards the group.
"Tsukune!" Moka yelled out as she was pushed to the side by her boyfriend.
"Watch out!" Tsukune shouted.
The blasts soared into the group at high speed and knocked back two of their members, the impacts sending them tumbling back down the hall. The witches smiled and giggled seeing they had hit their targets as the group looked back with wide eyes.
"NO!" Kurumu and Mizore yelled out in unison as they looked to see the bodies of Rason and Dark lying in the hall motionless. Dark's mp3 player had bounced further down the hall and was smoking slightly from the attack.
"Oh no! Dark! Rason!" Tsukune called out. Moka just clung to his arm and shook her head with disbelief at seeing the two lying motionless on the ground. The witches giggled and jumped up and down with joy.
"It is done, now the deal is complete," they said together.
"What deal? What are you talking about?" Tsukune yelled at them, furious that his friends had been hurt. The two girls stopped jumping up and down and tilted their heads curiously.
"The deal that you would protect us from the bad man," they said in unison again. Everybody looked at them with both confusion and anger.
"What are you talking about? We never said you could do this!" Kurumu yelled out.
"You said you would protect us from the bad man. That means we need strong monsters to help us," Astreal said, then looked to Tsukune with a sympathetic smile.
"Although you offered to help, we cannot use you, so sorry Mr. Tsukune. But those two…" she said before looking over to the two boys that were hit with their magic.
"They are perfect," she said happily. Everyone turned to see Dark and Rason slowly getting up, both boys shaking their heads from the hit. Mizore's eyes lit up as she saw her boyfriend was still alive.
"Dark! You're ok!" she said enthusiastically as she ran towards him.
"Yay! My Destined One isn't dead!" Kurumu cheered as she ran towards her boyfriend, the girl then laughing and looking back to the two witch sisters.
"Haha, sorry but looks like you couldn't take them down after all! Sucks to be-"
WHAM!
Kurumu was sent flying back to the group at high speed. She landed on the ground with a thud and groaned in pain as she held her gut. Tsukune and Moka looked over in shock to see Rason was standing there, retracting his leg from the kick that sent the succubus flying back.
"Rason…" Tsukune said under his breath. He then looked to Mizore and gasped. Dark was standing there holding her up by her neck, choking her as he glared at her. The girl was struggling to free herself as she stared at the boy with weak eyes.
"Dark… why…" she coughed out as she looked at him with disbelief. After a moment he tossed her to the side where she hit the wall and slumped down, coughing as she hit the ground. The girl slowly looked back up to see him glaring at her before he turned his sights towards the others. Tsukune and Moka looked at them with wide eyes as they saw them strike down their own girlfriends.
"Why… why you guys?" Moka asked, scared at what she saw. The two boys walked towards them, glaring at the vampire couple standing in their way. Dark's eyes may have been known to be cold before, but it looked drastically different coming from Rason.
"They may not be complete boyfriends since we had to force them over to our side," Astreal said getting their attention.
"But they will be able to keep us safe from the bad man now," Apoch said softly with a shrug.
"You… what did you do to them?" Kurumu coughed out as she slowly got up.
"What we had to do. Now would you two please get rid of these pests as well? They're being very rude after having already agreed to this deal," Astreal commanded. Dark and Rason looked at Tsukune and Moka while they advanced on them with narrowed eyes.
"You guys, it's us, your friends!" Tsukune said nervously.
"C'mon you two, snap out of it," Moka said beside Tsukune. Rason walked up to Tsukune and was ready to punch him when suddenly he was yanked back. Kurumu had run behind him and was trying to pull him away, holding onto his waist with all her strength.
"Run you two!" she said as she struggled to keep Rason still. The couple took two steps before Tsukune was kicked in the stomach and sent back into a wall. He looked ahead and saw Dark running at him. Before he could get closer his legs were suddenly encased in ice however. Tsukune looked to the side and saw Mizore on the ground, frost emanating from her hand on the floor and forming a trail towards Dark.
"Get away, that won't hold him for long," she coughed out.
While Dark was pulling at the ice causing it to crack apart Rason flipped Kurumu around and pushed her into the wall, knocking her down with a loud gasp. He walked over to Tsukune and lifted him up and slammed him against the wall. He then used his other hand to wrap around his neck to choke the boy. Tsukune struggled but was unable to break free as Rason glared at him with cold eyes.
"Stop it please!" Moka yelled as she rushed to the side and tried to pull Rason's grip off of her boyfriend. She pulled and thrashed about but couldn't break Rason's hold on Tsukune.
"Haha, they aren't yours anymore, they belong to us," Astreal laughed as she watched the show.
"Don't worry though, we promise we will take extra good care of them," Apoch said softly with a smile.
Tsukune was starting to run out of air as he coughed and thrashed about. He looked at Rason with pleading eyes, yet the angel only glared right back at him.
"Tsukune…" Kurumu coughed out as she tried to get back up.
'Rason… what have they done to you…'
"Don't… do this…" Mizore said as she was struggling to get onto her feet as well.
'No… Dark…'
Dark then broke free of his icy shackles and turned his gaze to Mizore. He started walking towards her, with her only being able to look at him with worried eyes.
"Dark…" she said as she backed up.
Tsukune started to gasp, his arms and legs flailing about as he tried to free himself. Moka was still pulling on Rason's arm to get him to let go, but was having no success.
"Let him go! Let him go Rason, you're killing him!" she screamed out.
'Tsukune! Tsukune!'
"Ack… Mo... ka..." Tsukune coughed out.
"TSUKUNE!" she yelled out as loud as she could. She pulled with all her might, the rosary then glowing brightly over her chest.
"I said-" she screamed as she brought back her fist, the girl then looking to Rason with a glare.
"Let GO!"
WHAM!
Rason was sent flying to the side at high speed by a punch square to the jaw. Everybody turned to look at the sound, and saw the angel was knocked clear across the hallway and was lying on the ground. Then all eyes looked to the cause, a pink haired girl who still had her fist out where it had hit the poor boy with incredible force. Moka was staring in disbelief at what she had done, as was Tsukune who was able to breathe properly again.
"Mo… Moka?" he asked bewildered. Moka just blinked and looked at her fist with amazement.
'Did I do that?'
The witch sisters just looked at the girl who was as frail as a kitten a moment ago with shock and surprise.
"How… how did you do that?" Astreal stuttered.
"What is she sister?" Apoch asked nervously. She screamed then shook her head in fear.
"Mr. Dark! Get rid of her now please!" she pleaded loudly.
Dark stopped his advancement on Mizore and turned around, eying Moka with killer intent before starting to walk towards her. Moka backed against the wall with Tsukune, fear gripping her as she saw the cold look in his eyes.
'What… what do I do now?'
"Moka?" Kurumu asked, wondering what was going on. The girl then looked over to Rason who was starting to get up. Mizore was still locked onto Dark, unable to believe he was being used like this as the boy advanced on Moka. He walked up to the scared vampire and grabbed her by the collar, lifting her up into the air then pinning her against the wall. She squirmed and looked at Dark with fear.
"Don't… please… stop Dark…" Tsukune said slowly as he tried to get back up. Dark reached back with his other hand and curled it into a fist as Moka's eyes widened.
'Tsukune! Help!'
Tsukune watched in horror at the sight, seeing what could be the final seconds of Moka's life; his girlfriend's life.
'Moka…'
Dark sent his attack flying at Moka's head at high speed. She could only watch in horror as the fist came at her with the intent to end her life. Suddenly he jerked about and came to a swift halt, and then looked to the side. His arm was being gripped by somebody. Moka blinked then looked over to the side as well and saw who.
"Tsukune?" she said in disbelief. Her boyfriend had stopped Dark's attack from going through. Dark turned to see who stopped him, only to come face to face with a boy, a boy with blood red eyes.
"Don't you dare touch my Moka," Tsukune said in a stern voice. Dark dropped the girl and tried to swing at Tsukune, only for him to grab the fist and push back, holding the silent boy there in place with ease.
"Sorry I have to do this," Tsukune said simply. He then tucked under Dark and flung him over and onto the ground with a loud crash. As he lay there Tsukune looked to his side in time to see Rason leaping at him with a flying kick. Tsukune dodged to the side and grabbed the leg, and with momentum flung the angel around and sent him right into a wall. Rason slammed into it then collapsed next to Dark with a thud. They both lay there motionless as Moka looked between them and her boyfriend with wide eyes.
"How… how can this be?" Astreal said with anger.
"Sister, they stopped them," Apoch said sadly. Moka just looked at her boyfriend in amazement.
'Tsukune… he's so strong now…'
The boy with blood red eyes then looked towards the witches. Without looking away he reached out and plinked off Moka's rosary. A wave of vampiric energy flowed across the hallway as a blinding flash erupted and engulfed everybody. Once it receded the pink haired girl was gone. Instead, there was a silver haired girl. She had blood red eyes and a bust that was larger. The two witches stared at the two vampires with surprise as the two sets of crimson eyes were glaring at them.
"Well then, looks like you went and made enemies with the wrong people," Inner Moka said with discontent at the two girls.
"It didn't have to be this way," Tsukune said, a bit of anger in his voice as he shook his head. The two sisters stood there motionless and just stared at them with wide eyes. Mizore and Kurumu walked slowly over to their boyfriends and knelt down beside them.
"You didn't have to be so rough Tsukune," Kurumu said annoyed.
"Yeah, my poor Dark is hurt now," Mizore said as she stroked her boyfriend's cheek with her hand. Tsukune just staggered and looked back to them with disbelief.
"But… they were trying to kill us!" he defended with franticly.
"It's not their fault, it's those witches fault. Hurt them not our boyfriends!" Kurumu yelled out at him. Tsukune sighed then turned his gaze back to the sisters. They still stood motionless with wide eyes.
"Well, any last words before we deal with you two?" Inner Moka said with a smirk. She then looked at them puzzled. Astreal and Apoch stood there shaking in fear, but were just staring off into space. They didn't blink, their mouths were quivering, and their bodies trembled. Yet they weren't looking at the vampires, they were looking past them at nothing.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Tsukune asked curiously. Mizore and Kurumu looked up at them curiously as well. Ruby had begun to move again and was slowly making her way over to the group. She held her side as she caught her breath then looked over to her friends.
"Tsukune! I see you're alive and well, I'm so glad," she said as she tried to steady her breathing.
"Ruby, I'm glad you're ok too," he said as he heard her voice, looking back to his friend and grateful she was still alive. He then looked back to the sisters and walked closer to them. He waved his hand in front of them and got no reaction as the two girls seemed to be frozen in fear.
"Huh, I never really scared somebody into a comatose state before," Inner Moka said as she eyed the two curiously.
"What's wrong with them?" Ruby asked the group when she got near.
"Our boyfriends are lying here unconscious, Tsukune's eyes are blood red like a vampire's, and we are all beaten and bruised. And you ask what's wrong with them?" Kurumu yelled out. Mizore just kept stroking Dark's cheek gently with a worried expression while Ruby looked around confused.
"Wha? But I… boyfriends?" Ruby sputtered out. She looked all around the group puzzled then back to Tsukune.
"Ok, what did I miss here?" she asked shaking her head.
Apoch and Astreal started to tremble more as the group looked to them.
"Sister…" Apoch breathed out.
"I know…" Astreal said softly as well. Tears started to form in their eyes as their fright seemed to increase. Tsukune took step back and looked between the two cautiously.
"What's with you two?" he asked with a raised eyebrow. They slowly looked to the boy and spoke in a low whisper.
"He's here…"
The headmaster was sitting at his desk, his glowing eyes going through the usual paperwork in his hands. After a moment he stopped and calmly set down the paper in front of him, his eyes then looking towards the door expectantly.
"You may come in, no need to knock," he said calmly. After he did so the door opened and in walked a man. He was dressed in black robes with a red belt around his waist, leather boots on his feet which walked with a large stride. He stood tall and had a warrior's build, his black hair being sleeked back while he had a black beard on his chin. His eyes were dark and looked around the room carefully before over to the headmaster with discontent.
"Well, where are they?" he asked in a stern voice as he walked up to the headmaster's desk.
"Where are who?" the headmaster asked curiously.
"Don't play games with me, you know why I am here," the man said annoyed. The headmaster looked at the stranger for a moment then stroked his chin with a curious smile.
"You are the wizard Ghaldin Rayazo, are you not?" the headmaster asked tilting his head.
"Yes I am; you already knew that, everybody knows about me. I have no time for your games old man, now, where are they?" Ghaldin shouted out.
"Again, where are who?" the headmaster replied. Ghaldin looked at the man with anger and crossed his arms before him.
"My witches."
