Rosario+Vampire: Bond of Fate
hey guys, sry I couldn't update any sooner. You know, I've been in Changchun (China), look and see and well I just say, busy. I got some freetime right now so I thought, maybe I could expand my story of the ups and downs of Moka and Tsukkis relationship. Just one more thing. I have to apologize to OverlordKyo1099 because of his review saying:
"wish it wasa little bit longer, but I still enjoyed reading it."
I apoloize for making you believe that the ceremony was already over. Although it had some kind of funny effect didn't it? Anyway, because I couldn't fit everything into one chap, I decided to split it. Didn't want to tell you guys though. Would spoil the surprise wouldn't it?^^
Now that we got over that, lets plunge into the world of Bond of Fate!
Oh yeah, maybe this looks a lil weird to you cause you see, here I don't have my laptop so I had to write this chap by editing a document I saved here on .
Chapter20: Will this ever end?
Against the rule, this time Moka woke before Tsukune. She felt how she slowly drifted into consciousness again, as she slowly fluttered her eyes open, facing a warm, tasty neck,...that was in her mouth! Or rather between her fangs. Looking at the neck, she couldn't resist but lick the neck only to find, that,to her satifaction, a low moan rumbled through his chest. Feeling the low rumbling coursing through her body, she felt a little warmer. Only then did she notice, that he was still biting, not drinking, or rather nibbling at her neck.
She let go, and took her look at him. At first she was shocked. He didn't look like he used to look. He looked different. not much, but different. Actually it wasn't that bad, but the simple fact that she was sure it was hers, made it bad. First off, his hair got longer, more spiky and split, to flow flawlessly around his face. The left side was alright, but the right side was a different matter, although to say the truth, even the ends of his hair stood out. Okay now probably no one understood what she meant, but ,to make it short, his hair was silver at the ends, and on his right side it differed, greatly. Instead of being black or rather black with a silver ending, it was silver and pink strands of hair. The silver itself was not like his silvery white, it was rather her silvery GREY. Beside of his hair, little could she see that has changed, for now.
She knew that it had to be her Tsukune, who else could that be? Only thing is, was she his Moka? She didn't know it anymore with the changes that she could see on herself. She didn't know which her she was. Inner or Outer? Pink haired or silver? Easiest way to find out, look at her hair, but that was the problem. It was silver AND pink. Didn't help that she could neither hear her Inner or Outer side's voice in her head while that used to be a non-stop thing. Confusion settled in her as she couldn't see through the mystery that was herself. Just as the confusion deepened the doubt started to creep into her head.
Would he still love me, with the way I have changed?
He will, he said it himself that it didn't matter which Moka there was.
But then again, it was with the two sides of me. Who am I?
Am I really someone or just the shadow of who I claim to be?
Am I Akashiya Moka? Am I someone?
The world keeps spinning yet I do not know my place.
Wasn't always me who told everyone to know their place?
Then shouldn't I know where mine is?
Through all her doubt and confusion, through her fear she held onto Tsukune for her sanity. She just rests on his chest, hoping that he would accept her and tell her that he loved her. Keeping that in mind, she closed her eyes to sleep until he would awake.
Tsukune woke up feeling a warm body on himself and thinking it to be Moka, just held her tighter and enjoy some more of this more than welcome feeling. Running his arm up and down her back he heard he sigh contently. He felt her nuzzle tighter into his chest. Then he decided to open his eyes to see the head of a silver AND pink haired woman. Slowly focusing his eyes he saw her look up at him. Seeing her eyes he bolted up in surprise and jumped away. He could see the unmistakable look of hurt on her face and most of all in her eyes the moment he did. She kneeled and sat on her feet as she clenched her hands and looked away. He could tell that she was at the verge of tearing up and he felt miserable for causing it. Thinking about what he saw, he could tell that she was the Moka he loved, but still it was surprising to see how much she changed in just one night.
Tsukune moved closer to her only to see her slowly back away. It hurt him, deeply.
"Does just seeing me disgust you so much that you have to back away?" she asked her voice breaking up.
Deciding to just sit in front of her and wait a little bit until she calmed down, he answered:
"Listen Moka, I am sorry for how I reacted. It's just…"
"What? That you don't like me?"
"No! I will ALWAYS love you. It's just that seeing you change kind of shocked me at first."
"You don't seem like it." She asked turning away.
Slowly moving towards her, he tried to embrace her. Seeing her back away, he just moved closer and finally trapped her in his arms. Holding her close he whispered into her ear:
"Moka, I am sorry. I didn't mean to react that way. It was just surprising that's all. But you have changed, that you have to admit. I don't know which Moka you are, but one thing I know, you are mine. My Moka. Don't you want to be?"
He asked as he loosened his grip. Feeling her move towards him, not wanting to lose his warmth, he embraced her again and turned towards her. Turning her head up, he looked deeply into her eyes and kissed her as passionately as he could. Seeing as she still seemed to be sad, he pulled away.
"Or maybe is it, that YOU are the one who doesn't love me anymore?" He asked, ironically.
Getting the reaction he wanted, he felt her cling desperately onto him and tell him:
"No, it's not that I don't love you, it's…"
"So you DO love me." He cut her off.
"Of course I do, with all of my heart!" she replied.
"So then where is the problem? I love you, you love me, so why are you so sad, saying that I don't love you?" he asked her.
She opened her mouth to answer but couldn't form any words. Tsukune held her close, rubbed her back and sat her onto his lap.
"Come now, it's alright. I don't care which Moka you are, you are mine as I am yours and that's all that matters." He said as he kissed her again.
This time she responded and kissed back. Pulling away, he put her down, got up and held out a hand to her:
"Come, let's greet our parents."
She took his hand and together they made their way out. Moka stood, like she should, on his left side. As they went down the corridor they went into the main chamber. Arriving, they saw the parents drink some wine and talk, as they suddenly turned to the couple and inspected them.
"Told you." The mothers told the men.
They only grunted and turned back to focus on the couple. Looking up and down they mumbled:
"Yes, yes, just like I thought. Matching hair oath partner indicator, matching eye color shifter, fused Moka, yep everything looks fine." They said and looked at each other only to yell:
"HEY THAT WAS MY TEXT!"
The women sweat dropped and decided to enlighten the couple onto the confusing things the men said, seeing as they were off in a corner arguing, trying to solve with rock-paper-scissors.
Taking turns in explaining the women told the couple:
"Don't worry child, we know it sounds like we are somehow making ticks on some kind of list but well, it's just that we want to make sure everything went alright."
"Any of you mind to tell me what you're talking about?" Tsukune asked.
"You hopefully know that we are of the First bloodline, right?" his mother asked him, receiving a nod.
"Just as we are from the Bloodline of Akashiya, right?" Akasha asked him, smiling.
Nodding again they continued.
"Because we are the oldest and first vampiric bloodline, our bonding is different from the others. While the bonding of the others is merely a spiritual bond, ours eypands onto the physical bond. As the two of you might have noticed, your appearance has changed. Also your vison has slightly changed to let you see things the way your parter does. I know sounds confusing but when you look around you'll see what I mean, literally. Now, uhm where was I? Oh yeah, your hair has changed, gotten longer, varies in color but the most important thing is, you have this nice lil strand of hair on your right side that looks different. That way you can see whether or not your partner is transformed, is in danger or whatever." Kasumi said waving around with her hands, walking in circles and almost talking to herself.
"You know, you really look like you were doing this from an instruction paper or something." Akasha pointed out to her friend.
"You wanna take over, dear?" Kasumi asked with an innocent expression.
"By any means, don't let me interrupt you. I was simply pointing something out." Akasha replied, making a shove away motion with her hands.
"Hmpf, cold shoulder! Take that!" Kasumi said as she turned away.
A moment of silence. Then laughter as Akasha replied:
"Oh please my lady, do spare me from your silent wrath"
The two women started to laugh as they mumbled something about never gets old or one day I am going to show you what your lady can do and things like that, that somehow sounded amazingly perverted.
Deciding that they were not needed anyomre, Tsukune and Moka were about to leave when Issa held them back saying:
"And where are you two lovebirds going?"
"Uhm, we were about to go and get something to eat and maybe take a little walk?" Tsukune suggested, gaining a nod of approval from Moka, who has laid her head back on his chest.
"As much as I would like to let you go, there is one more thing that needs your attention." Keisuke told his son and hopefully his daughter in law.
Laughing at the two puzzled looks they brought upon them, Issa and Keisuke looked at each other before Keisuke, who has recovered earlier than his best friend, decided to speak up:
"You see kids, okay I might not be able to call you that for much longer but anyway, the Blood Oath Ceremony is an old, nearly ancient tradition. Usually you announce it and then every vampire who has any objections between the bonding of the two of you will have a chance to challenge you for the right of the hand of your chosen partner."
"I got a bad feeling." Tsukune told Moka.
"You see normally this is done before the Celebration is performed, but seeing as we did some kind of last minute thing, well we still need that done."
Giving a told you so look to Moka, Tsukune received a light jab in the ribs.
"But don't worry, as long as none of you goes down there will be no problem and all will go well." Keisuke said looking at the two sweatdrop expressions who are the young couple murmuring things like could've only happened to us right? and will this ever end?.
Getting out of his daze Tsukune asked:
"When will that be?"
Then Issa chuckled and said:
"Well, now of course. We can't let them wait too long can we?"
"What do you mean, we can't let them wait?" Moka asked
"Look for yourself." Issa replied as the doors were opened to reveal dozens of transformed vampires, males and females alike.
"You damned old man!" Tsukune yelled at Issa before taking his fighting pose.
"But I can't fight, I'm..." Moka started until her mother interrupted her:
"Oh yeah Moka dear, the Ceremony fused your personalities but you can still seperate yourself into your Inner and Outer self again at will." her mother said with a hand at her mouth to imitate a shouting motion.
"...sealed." Moka finished her sentence before being interrupted by a vampire.
"You there, woman, I will make you mine and dispose of that trash of a weakling that claims to be your chosen partner."
That set her off as Moka took her fighting pose at Tsukune's side.
Nodding at Tsukune, Moka and Tsukune released their youki at the same time, creating a blast that knocked a few vampires back.
"I take the men you the women?" he asked her.
"Leave them to me." she answered a smirk appearing on her face.
Very soon after battle cries could be heard as the mass of vampires rushed at the young couple.
When the first vampires were in range, they slashed out with their arms, knocking several weaker vampires out and making several others stumble. At that point it parted. The males went after Tsukune as the females went after Moka.
Things like you only got her because of your good looks, prettyboy or let me show him what a real woman is like were thrown into the room. That of course only highened their anger as they slashed out more furiously and punches, kicks and jabs were thrown at everything that moved.
"Good gracious, I can't remember our fight to have been that furious." Keisuke told his wife.
"Well they do look pretty good don't they? They are our kids after all." Kasumi answered.
"Who could ever resist my charm?" Keisuke said running a hand through his hair.
Kasumi pointed her finger at the floor, making Keisuke get a strong need to embrace the floor.
"You should watch your tongue. Sometimes I ask myself how I could fall in love with you." she said and frowned.
After a couple of minutes, a few dozen of beaten and knocked out vampires, Moka and Tsukune let out a sigh of exhaustion.
"Now we're done, right?" Tsukune asked.
"Yup, you're done kids. Well done. Now that that's over, no vampire can claim you unless you are dead or the bonds are broken. Guess you can go to sleep now." Issa said smiling at them.
"I leave the cleaning up to you guys, kay? I'll be going to sleep, you coming Moka?" he said yawning, showing his fangs.
Moka nodded sleepily and together they went into the ceremonial room and laid back onto the matress. Biting each others neck, they fed off each other falling asleep without a word, too exhausted to do anything else.
So this is my new and overdue chap, hope you liked it. I know that it's somehow rushed at the end and I know the "battle" was far too short but this chap was not supposed to be focused on the fighting. I want to apologize for the long wait, again and hope that I will be able to make it back up to one up per week. If it helps, during my week in china I got a few more things into my plot that I actually didn't plan on doing and well, let's say I got a few more chaps in my head. So this story might get a lot longer than I originally thought it to be. Hope you can forgive me for the wait. Oh yeah, might get shorter chaps cause I want to learn how to draw mangas and well, if it works out, I will get less time for fanfics and if not, I get even less cause I will watch animes and yeah, you get what I mean right?
