This will be the last chapter for a while... NO! I'M NOT DISCONTINUING THIS, I just wanna get back and edit my other 2 stories, plus the holidays are here. Enjoy this one, but first:
1) Dmandog056: Glad you liked it and thank God someone found that one. Your one of the fun ones :D
2) The Brod Road: Wash-out, HA! Corny, but gotta love it. Sounds like it "wood" be a problem. And thank the lord you got the Simpsons reference, I was thinking no one would get it.
3) Okara SSJ: See? I DIDN'T pull a Tsukune on ya guys! Marriage? Uh... probably not. But if I do, it'll need to happen near the end of this fanfic series. I will try the best I can. If your looking for something like that though, check out a story known as Capu 3 by Keithallen. I personally recommend it to anyone else seeking that kind of story, it really hooks you in. Its not a crossover like this however, but amazing in its own right.
4) Wolf Ronnin and Guest: Evil hangers are my thing, you and everyone else should know this by now ;)
5) Bigchill2145: She admits to caring about him, that's all I'm gonna say. I'm assuming you didn't read the first fic by asking this question, that one should give you an idea.
6) Masters123lfm: Hmm, good theories in that PM of yours. Let's take a look further down this webpage and find out...
7) TomahawkESP: Wildvine was already done before, but that doesn't mean he won't have another appearance someday.
Me personally, I have nothing against Tsukune... neither his anime or manga selves, just to be clear. I believe he was the best he could be, people (guys mostly, of course) talk shit about him all the time just out of their own egos': if I was Tsukune, I wouldn't be scared; if I was Tsukune, I wouldn't be protected by a bunch of girls, I'd fight for myself; blah blah blah. Let's be honest, your not gonna enroll in a monster school and go: "WOW, this is FAB-U-LOUS! Man-eating monsters everywhere, COOL! I might die, but have the best high school sex of my life, SWEET! That girl just changed from a human to a demon, AWESOME!"
No... YOU'LL BE SCARED OUTTA YO MIND! And even if you do get used to it, there's always that constant reminder of danger... that they are NOT humans! They could snap you like pencils and use your blood as ink to do their homework! Lesson of life guys, people just LOOOOOVE to hear themselves talk... like me. :P
Ramble session, over. READ ON!
"GRRRRR! Huff-puff-huff, GRRRR! Puff-huff-puff, GRRRRRR-EEEEEEEEEEE! *sighs and collapses* It's... here... weee" said Kou. He was pulling some kind of machine by a rope with his tiny feet that looked cool, flashy and VERY expensive. It was some kind of display board, almost like the digital Speed Limit signs cops would put on streets. "Kou-buddy, there you are! You've been gone for the past 3 days, where did you... SuperKick Counter? The hell's this do-hickey for?" Asked Kou's master, Kokoa. "Bakuganman had to dig into his funds and purchase this thing online, not as light as it looks, wee" said the Transformer Bat. "Baku-who? Ugh, nevermind, but whats this stupid thing for anyway?" Kokoa repeated. Kou just looks at the camera, "Someone out there knows, WEEEE!"
-TIME BREAK-
"Moka..."
"Ben..."
Nosfer-Ben and Inner Moka: (to themselves) Ugh... this again?
The school day ended hours ago and every student was heading back to their dorms for a nice rest. To their surprise, Ben and Moka were NOT followed by the others this time to the training ground they've been using, they actually had a moment to themselves! It was Kokoa and Kou's turn to spar with Ben this session, if he can get Nosfer-Ben to comply.
Since she wasn't here, Inner Moka had to take over as part of the arrangement/agreement. Before that though; the gazing thing was longer than usual and the edging into kiss-range seemed to linger, time stopped just for them and of course, Moka was going for his neck once they got close enough. The bite itself was cut short by Ben himself, making Moka whine as she hasn't even starting sucking him yet... wait, that came out wrong.
"Just a sec, Moka. I wanna... ask you something" said Ben, starting to blush. This was it, his chance! The moment he's been waiting for has arrived, though he had a Hero Intuition that something... 'Ah! No, NO! Don't jinx this, Tennyson! Just, stay calm, keep cool... the worst she can say is no, right?' Thought the human. Truth be told, this was probably the first time in forever (or at least since he started coming here) that he finally had a minute alone with Moka. "Nah, the worst is she'll say no, THEN bring her out to kick our ass into the Bermuda Triangle" commented... do I even have to say who? 'Wasn't asking you!' Thought Ben to the other one.
Moka paused, hope filling up inside her. Was this it? Was Ben gonna...? "O-Ok... what, is it?" Asked the pink vampire, her face reddening. "Well, I uh... I... I was just thinking..." Ben started. He's been playing the conversion in his head for months and even rehearsed in a mirror! That was one thing though, THIS was the real deal, the moment that hopefully Moka would go out with him. He would've asked sooner; but then along came a succubus, 2 witches, a snowgirl, MANY fights to the death in which he died temporary... in short, it took almost 2 years to reach this goal. Better late than never, as the saying goes.
"Thinking about what?" Asked the vampire, hiding the excitement in her voice. If Ben was asking what she thinks he's gonna ask, it'll be soooo much fun... maybe even romantic. "About us... you and me" he answered, his face was as red as Red Bull. Subconsciously, Moka slowly approached him as he spoke. "What about?" She asked, again trying not to sound excited. "That maybe... if you want... we, uh... maybe can..." he started mumbling. He never believed those movies where a guy was asking a girl out and he looked like he'd pass out before he got there... he sure did now! "Can what?" Asked Moka, her voice almost cracking with joy. Was this it? Was he, the most popular American student asking HER too...?!
Ben's palms were sweating so much, you'll think he sprung a leak in his skin! 'Come on, Ben. Say it, SAY IT! You might never get another chance like this!' He told himself, as mental reassurance. Unknown to their hosts, they're counterparts doubted this would get to this point, WITHOUT interruptions! Both inner vampires felt nostalgic about it, with a hint of joy, and a dab of jealousy which neither would admit too. "Heh, he'll never finish. Something beyond our control will break the moment and boom, gone. Besides, he doesn't have the..." thought Nosfer-Ben to himself. "It's sweet, but it won't last. The stars will align and..." Inner Moka thought to herself, likewise.

"... GO-OUT-WITH-ME-SOMETIME?!"
Ben covered his mouth immediately after blurting that out, Moka gasped and went wide-eyed, and the other 2 vampires were left utterly speechless like they forgot how to speak! There was only silence of this night, neither teen nor their darker halves spoke a single word or made a peep. The only things that did were birds chirping, winds blowing and a tumbleweed rolling. Although mere seconds past since asking the question, it felt like they stood there for over a year!
When Ben wasn't given an answer, he heaved a sigh. Guess going out with Moka was just a pipe dream after all... at least he tried, right? "I'm sorry Moka, I had to get that out and ask you. I'm sure you'd rather go out with another monster anyway, you and her do have high standards after all..." said Ben, hiding his sadness and walked away. "And some people say, his stones grew 3 sizes that day..." Nosfer-Ben commented. Ben was a little annoyed at it, but Nosfer-Ben's tone seemed to give off a consoling aura, not an pilgarlic one. "At least he knows his place, a human doesn't stand a chance with m..." Inner Moka began.
Moka mumbled something, but Ben didn't hear it. "What did you say?" Asked Ben, stopping in his tracks and turning around to face Moka. Her face was obscured by her long hair. "..." said Moka, mumbling again. "Moka, what did you...?" Asked Ben again, but then he was tackled by his vampire friend. Looking up at her face, he saw she was crying with a bright smile. "YES! YES I'D LOVE TOO, BEN!" Moka yelled, hugging Ben while she was laying on top of him. Although Ben liked this close feeling, he really wished she'd stop moving around. Mostly cause of a certain 'item' that might make itself known...
"MOKA, ARE YOU CRAZY?! WHY WOULD YOU TELL HIM YES, HE'S..." Inner Moka tried to voice her... opinion. 'Oh, shut up! Your happy too, aren't you?' Outer Moka asked her inner self, but she never got a response back, just a growling sound in her brain. "Ben, I'm soooo happy! I've tried to ask you myself, but I was too nervous" admitted Moka, her face buried on his chest. "YOU, NERVOUS? That's like saying hard-ass Moka would bow down to Nosfer in a maid outfit" Ben joked, getting a giggle from the vampire still on top of him. Inner Moka was not amused at the joke, her Rosario eye glowed brighter than usual. "Yo, chill BloodRayne. Let the kids have their fun... or you jealous it ain't you and me?" Nosfer-Ben/Omnitrix 'asked'.
The only answer he got was a growling sound that even Ben heard with his own ears! The lights of the Rosario and Omnitrix died out shortly after, apparently giving Ben and Moka the moment alone they wanted. That's when both teens noticed how close their faces where, closest that either of them have gotten! "L-L-Like I was saying... nervous you might have asked someone else, instead of me" said Moka, having 1 hand on Ben's body and the other [subconsciously] on the rosary he gave her for Christmas. She resisted the hormonal urge to feel down his chest, feeling the ridges of his rib cage with the tips of her fingers wasn't helping. She avoided his gaze by turning away, but he gently touched her cheek and guided her eyes back into his.
(AN: I know your already playing it, but...)
La, la, la, la, la, laaaaaaaaa... la, la, la, la, la, laaaaaaaa...
Ben: I could never do that, Moka. Not to you, I'd never...
Moka: (lets go of her rosary and put a hand on Ben's, the one on her cheek) Do you... mean that?
Ben: Yes, I do... I could never, forgive myself if I... caused you that pain.
Moka: T-That's so sweet... Ben...
Ben: Oh, Moka...
The edging begins, its a jackpot since there's no neck-aiming! Their heads get close and pause for a second.
Moka: Ben, I...
Ben: Moka, I...
Neither finished, their eyes started closing and they continued to get closer... closer... closer...
...
...

?: EEEYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
(AN: Theme song plays.)
Chapter 18: Lunch Date + Vampire
Seconds before they lip-locked, Ben and Moka turned quickly to look in the direction of the scream. It came from the girls dormitory, someone was in trouble! Part of Ben gave a mental groan, the other part told him to get up and save the said person, "Eh, it'll resolve itself. Back to more important things" said the other half of him. Ben was tempted, as he's never gotten this far with a girl before... not counting Kurumu's sexual teasing, Mizore's peeping tendencies, Yukari's threesome fantasies and (rarely) Ruby's submissive desires. In spite of that, he had to do the right thing... but REALLY wished it wasn't at this moment of all times.
"Um... sorry Moka, but..." Ben started, but Moka was already getting off him. "I-I understand" Moka said, hiding her disappointment. The ONE time she didn't try going for his neck, fate seemed to have other plans. Its like the universe said: Nope, f*** that! Not gonna happen, NOT now! Ben felt her crestfallen emotion, he was upset at this turn of events too... but he did it. He at least asked her out, that's one small victory in the war of love. As he sat up, he felt warmth on his left cheek for a split second, he turned to see Moka blushing. Did she just...? "I'll wait for you, ok Ben?" She said, smiling at him. He could only smile back, silently promising her that he would. Then he turned on his Omnitrix, "It's Hero Time!"
FLASH!
(AN: This must've come as a big turn off/let down/shock for most of you, I'm sure. This was only to set the bar when they do in fact go out, which is gonna happen someday. This is also all part of the master plan to change the rating from "T" to "M", hang in there everyone!)
-TIME BREAK-
We see Mizore in her dorm, panting up a storm... not literally though. Her hair was ice and her eyes were full of pain, but she calmed down. "Not again" she said sadly, walking out of the small kitchen she had in her room. She sank to her knees, the kitchen was frozen solid. The stove, the pot she had something cooking in, the cutting board... everything. "Maybe I'm, not cut out for this..." Mizore sighed. She turned her head in shame, and saw Ben's picture on her dresser, the one Ben accidentally stepped on when he was looking for her the day they met. "No... I can't give up! Not on him" she said, putting a determined face on and gripping the rosary Ben gave her.
She then felt a presence nearby... a cold presence.
Turning towards the door, she saw a familiar monster that looked like a mothman, he wore an equally familiar symbol on his chest! "Ben...?" She asked, not fully registering what's happening. "Was that screaming you? Is everything alright?" Asked Ben, in the form of Big Chill, gained from Mizore's DNA. "BEN! Uh, everything's fine, see? Heheheh" she covered up, now realizing Ben was here. As much as she dreamed of this moment, she couldn't let Ben see this, NOT NOW! "Mizore, are you ok? If somethings wrong, tell me" said Big Chill. "No, everything's fine! I was just uh, going to bed, GOODNIIIIIIIIGHT!" She answered, pushing the mothman out of her dorm and slamming the door. She accidentally pushed his symbol as well.
"Huh... that was weird" said Ben, now alone. "I think ya might wanna skedaddle..." said Nosfer-Ben. "Why, its only..." it hit him, this was the GIRLS DORM! If a girl finds him in here, he'll be dead, or worse! He turned to run to the exit, but saw a girl... and she saw him! 'Well, back to being labeled Gin's accomplice' he thought to himself. "Um... hi. Uh, ma'am, I can explain..." Ben tried to explain, but he knew it was pointless, she was gonna scream in terror and then a stampede of girls will chase him down like Hell Hounds from Call of Duty: Zombies.
She screamed...
...
...
...
... in delight?!
"OH MY GOD! YOUR THE AMAZING BEN TENNYSON EVERYONE TALKS ABOUT!" Not 2 seconds after she said that, girls' heads started poking out of dorm rooms like daises popping out of snow... hmm, why does that sound familiar?
"Ben?"
"THE Ben?"
"The American beefcake?!"
"OMG! It is him!"
Nosfer-Ben: BEEFCAKE?! What am I, chicken liver?!
Ben would've told him to put a sock down his throat and swallow it, but with a frenzy of females rushing at him, he ran like the Devils paperboy. "CAN'T I HAVE ONE NORMAL DAY IN THIS SCHOOL?!" (AN: To those who are starting High School in a boarding school, NO this will not happen to you. You could be God's child himself or the most popular sports jockey, girls are not THAT desperate for attention. Even being gay won't give you a free pass. When one girl screams, it sets off a chain reaction to other females nearby, like how Jurassic Park Raptors call for help. So if you do this and it doesn't work out, don't blame me.)
-TIME BREAK-
Later the next day during lunch, Ben was sitting with Kevin and Gwen eating. "For the last time, I'm not coulrophobic! Zombozo just creeps me out, that's all!" Ben claimed. Kevin was busting his chops about it, Gwen must've told him during a conversation they had. He liked Kevin like an older brother, but he sometimes wished he'd just go back to being the gangster-wannabe he was back in New York City. "Liiiiiiiiiiar.." said Nosfer-Ben/Omnitrix. "Shut up!" Said Ben, but it was too late. Gwen and Kevin already heard, Kevin began laughing very hard.
"Whats so funny?" Asked the sweet voice of Moka, who approached the group. She was holding a plate of curry for some reason. 'Oh right, today's the day cooking class got a new teacher. Guess that was her assignment' thought Ben. Now that he thought about it, most of the guys in the school were in a daze all morning... question as to why has been answered. "Oh, you gotta hear this! Your boyfriends afraid of..." Kevin began, but Gwen covered his mouth and shook her head at him. She loved teasing Ben about that stuff, but some things are better left unsaid around his girls. Moka blushed deep red and turned her eyes away upon hearing that, she didn't deny it this time either. "Misn't miss mime moo eeny mit?" Kevin asked, Gwen's hand still on his mouth. (AN: Translation: "Isn't this the time you deny it?")
Surprisingly, Moka understood him. "Um... well, about that..." she tried to explain, but the words were caught in her throat. She wasn't embarrassed about it, in fact she was happy! But its like driving a car for the first time, you hesitate on every little thing you do... eh, bad example. There's no cars in the monster world. "Nevermind. Ben, I made some curry in class today. Our new teacher from India taught us how, would you... like to... try some?" Asked Moka, dismissing the first conversation and starting a new one, sounding a little nervous. She's made her own lunch plenty of times, but this was the first time she's ever made it for someone else, and for a boy no less! She hoped he'd like it...
"Um... sure Moka. Guys, you...?" Ben started to ask, but Gwen scooted over before he even began his question, forcing Kevin too as well. Moka sat down and unwrapped the dish, Ben got a whiff of it... it smelled good. Ben was about to reach for his spoon when Moka... snatched it away? 'Is she doing what I think she's...' Ben thought, she answered him by saying: "Can I... feed you?" Sparkles danced around Ben and Moka, he heard once or twice that girls in Japan make lunches for guys they like, usually box lunches though. This was a first for Ben since he wore a bib as a baby, but something about a girl his age asking him made him feel funny. Well, want a girl wants...
"Is the curry sauce organic, and made with 100% breast milk?" Asked the Omnitrix, out loud. Gwen frowned, mutttered something under her breath and shot a tiny ball of mana from her finger like it was a gun; hitting the device. The main unit turned pink and then... "AYE-YAI-YAI, YAI-YAI, YAI-YAI, YAI-YAI!" Nosfer-Ben exclaimed, it sounded like he was being electrocuted. Continuing where Ben left off, all he said (with Moka joining him) was: "aaaaaaaaaaaah..."
SMOOSH!
"Moka's is pretty limp, but MINE will definitely put lead in your pencil" Kurumu literally sat on the table out of nowhere, trying to give Ben some of her curry. One of her... curry plates, were in his face. 'Along with the aphrodisiacs and sexual performance enhancers laced in... not actually cheating, just a nudge in the right direction' Kurumu yahoo-hoo-ed to herself. "But you gotta eat it while its still..."
WA-KLONG!
A washtub smacked the succubus in the face from the front rather than above like it usually does, pushing her away. "Ya can't trust her, who knows what she put in there? But mine is fresh, healthy and full of protein!" Yukari said, showing Ben her dish... what was that green stuff, was that a lizard tail?! And did something just f*****g... MOVE?! "I like it organic, but not THAT organic!" Said Nosfer-Ben, the light of the Omnitrix back to green, meaning he has now recovered from Gwen's spell. Moka, though in shock of what Kurumu and Yukari tried to pass off as "food", hoped Ben would try hers first. 'I hope he feels better from that last workout, but I just wish Nosfer would bend over and let Ben do what he wants... I'm worried what it might do to them, constantly fighting almost all the time' she thought to herself.
The Rosario slightly glowed, almost sensing the Outer Moka's thoughts, as the Inner Moka spoke to her: "Honestly Moka, I didn't think he'd keep on with this. A normal human would've given up by now because of their... limitations, but I'm far from impressed. I also don't appreciate you allowing him to go out with us, he's still a little human" she said. 'Its one date, how bad can it be?' Asked Outer Moka. "Are you listening to yourself? Sure he's a decent guy; but he's got all the same desires as one! He's a womanizing, egotistic, wet-dream fantasizer..." Inner Moka began saying, she's too prideful sometimes, huh? 'Sweet, caring, handsome...' Outer Moka started, slyly smirking to herself. "Brave, generous, one-of-a..." Inner Moka stopped, realizing she just fell for her softer halves trap.
Her light died, nothing else was said.
Back on our hero's point of view, he admitted even lunch was... interesting, to say the least. He wasn't sure what to do, he couldn't just choose one out of the three girls... that would cause World War 3 to break out. This of course, would also lead to a certain seal being [accidentally] undone, Inner Her would slaughter the other two, and then try to force-feed Ben because its what: the other Moka would have wanted. "Girls, please! I'm flattered, but I can't eat all..." Ben started, then got an idea. HE couldn't eat all this food, but there was someTHING that could. "Actually, scratch that. Maybe I..."
Ben turned on his Omnitrix and began to scroll to the form that was perfect for this job. He hasn't used him in a while, he must be hungry! "Um, you sure using HIM is a good idea?" Asked Kevin, skeptical. "Yeah, why? Haven't let him out in sometime" Ben answered. "You remember what he can DO, right?!" Asked Gwen, getting concerned. "You talking about me?" Asked Nosfer-Ben, his question was answered when Ben slammed his palm down and transformed.
...
...
...
Ben was replaced by a small, pudgy, green... thing, that looked like woodchuck/hamster with a stubby tail and some amphibian traits. He had beady white eyes, small ridges down his back, and a stubby tail. Some of his teeth showed and its plump tummy exposed itself from the body suit, which had the Omnitrix symbol on the back of his left hand. He appeared to be a humanoid toad or frog, with four-digit claws and three toes. "UPCHUCK!"
Kou: Upchucks are known as the Gourmand people and hail from the planet Peptos XI. They have adhesive tongues which are able to get a hold on allot of things, and even break them under their surprising jaw power. Gourmands are capable of eating almost anything, though Upchuck can't eat actual food for some reason. After eating something; Gourmands can, and must, vomit glowing spheres of acid that explode upon contact. If they don't, then... (cheeks puff up, then he flies off and around using his breath as thrust like a balloon)
The monster girls blinked at the strange woodchuck-looking monster, though they knew it had be an alien. "Boy, oh boy! Am I hungry now!" Said the alien glutton, eyeing the food. Thanks to Upchuck's... unique diet... the curry looked VERY appetizing, even Yukari's! "Down the hatch!" He called out, opening his mouth so 3 green tongues can escape. They wrapped around the food and snapped back into Upchuck, gulping it all. "Ahhhhhh, delicioso!" The Gourmand smiled. He patted his stomach with one tiny hand, while making a circle with his fingers on the other.
(AN: Queue corny violin sound.)
Everyone just sweatdropped at what they saw happen. Well, he ate them... but did he really have to eat the dishes AND utensils as well? "You still hungry?" Said Mizore, from behind Upchuck, startling everyone else. Geez, how long was she there? "Oh yeah, Mizore made some too. You'll be sure to try it, right Ben?" Said Moka. "Eh, this things a bottomless pit. Bring it on!" Joked the Gourmand. Mizore looked hesitant at first, something out of her character, but brought out a dish of curry... frozen solid. "It's full of fresh vegetables, sliced meat and white rice that's been flash-frozen for your delight. Dig in, Ben!" Said Mizore, monotone but sounded excited.
To no ones surprise, Upchuck was about to eat it when... "Look! She screwed up again!" Said a voice. Looking in the direction of the sound, the friends noticed 3 girls (Keito's former henchmen) standing in a group. "Guess cooking isn't exactly a snow woman's... cup of iced tea" said a second girl. "The skiing tournament is next week, she'll ace that no problem" said the third, then all 3 of them laughed at their own joke. "Leave her alone, ya bug-brains!" Said Kurumu, defending her rivals honor. Sure they completed for Ben's affections, but that doesn't mean they weren't good friends. "I'm actually inclined to agree with them, you weren't even wearing oven mitts last night" said Nosfer-Ben/Omnitrix, figuring THAT must've been what Mizore was doing when Ben rushed to the girls dorm.
Before Upchuck could say pipe down to his rude vampire, the trio already heard him. "And look, even your studmuffin agrees with us" said one of the girls, not realizing that wasn't Ben/Upchuck. "Why not ditch those losers and come with us, Ben? We can make you REAL lunch" the lead girl said, in a seductive tone that could rival Kurumu's. That was the last straw; Mizore was about to release an arctic blast, Kurumu was going to 'cut some bugs up', Yukari go out her wand, Moka's hand when to grab Upchuck's to do you-know-what, and Kevin and Gwen were about to start some serious trash-talking! However...
"So... your saying you can make this better?" Asked the woodchuck, with a sly grin that the bug-trio didn't notice. "Yeah!" Said one. "Tots!" Said the other. "We'll fix you, *ahem* your dish... perfectly" said the leader. Upchuck tipped the dish of ice cubed curry into his mouth and... "Good, then take it!" He answered, making a curdling noise and...
Bug-Trio: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
BOOOOOOOM!
He... "upchucked" them to oblivion, as they say. The monster girls understood why Ben called this form Upchuck now, and were stunned at how much power the little guy had. The alien mentioned then flashed green and turned back to normal. "Don't listen to them, Mizore. It was really goo..." Ben attempted to say, but Mizore grabbed the arm that had a certain object on it and started to rotate it, she wasn't looking very happy. It landed on a image and she... "MIZORE, WHAT ARE YOU...?!"
FLASH! (AN: I slapped you in the face with this, huh?)
And... you guessed it. Lucky everyone else was scared off by the "thrown-up" explosion first... "Well at least someone has enough sense around here to let me stretch my arms a b..."
SMACK!
If there was people outside the lunchroom, they would've poked their heads in to hear what made that sound! He was got good, totally off-guard. Turning his head slowly, Nosfer-Ben faced Mizore and snapped his jaw back in place after moving it around a little with his hand. He tested it out a bit, it still kinda hurt but he'll never admit that. He wasn't angry about it though. "Niiiiiiiiice, you've broken Vampirella's record... and Ben's jawbone" Nosfer-Ben stated. "What is with you, asshole? One minute your a decent bastard, the next your a disrespectful jock!" She Asked. "Well, when a vampire and a human love each other REALLY much..." Nosfer-Ben began.
SMACK!
Again, he was hit. Not as hard cause Mizore didn't wanna hurt Ben. Moka blushed slightly at Nosfer-Ben's comment, but no one took notice. "I do something nice for Ben, and you had to ruin it!" Mizore yelled. "Funny, I'm pretty sure those buzzing hoes did that for me" Nosfer-Ben answered with a smirk, making Mizore madder. What was she thinking, letting him out? "Yeah, but you agreed with them! If you share Ben's body, where's your loyalty?" Asked Mizore. "Probably stuck between my legs, if you feel like getting it out for me" said the vampire. Mizore went to slap him again, but stopped herself because... "It's not like the rest of you have a chance, he already asked Moka out" he continued.
Silence once again fell for about 5 seconds. "WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!" Yelled everyone else, not expecting a big reveal like that. "Your lying! There's no way he'd ask Moka out, when he's got all THIS!" Said Kurumu, squeezing her breasts. "Yeah and if anything, he'd ask me AND Moka" said Yukari. "I'm an asshole sure, but not a liar, ask him yourself" said the vampire, slapping his emblem and was gone in a flash of light. "Really, Nosfer? Stuff like that's kinda private" said Ben to his watch. For the next 12 minutes, the monster girls complained and argued, Gwen and Kevin just watched. It took a while, but Ben managed to calm them down by promising they'd get a chance with him too.
Moka was a little hurt, but knew it wasn't all his fault. Nosfer's mouth is as big as Inner Moka's pride... didn't mean she wasn't upset about it.
-TIME BREAK-
The next day, Mizore wasn't in class all morning. That wasn't out of the norm, but the fact that she was nowhere to be seen while the rest of the harem did their thing(s) to Ben was strange. She'd usually be the 2nd or 4th girl that would pop up when one girl got too close to Ben's personal bubble. "Hey, big sis!" Said the voice of Kokoa... why did it sound nicer? Turning around, the group expected to see her wielding Kou as a random weapon... she had 3 plates, one in each hand and the other balancing on her head. "Kokoa's... being nice?" Asked Moka, confused. "With... curry?" Asked Yukari, confused also. "THAT'S what you notice?!" Said Ben and Kurumu. "Who the hell gave Lisa a role in this show?" Said Nosfer-Ben/Omnitrix.
Kokoa was yellow-skinned and her persona was flipped over, someone or something changed her. But how, and why? Nosfer-Ben also sensed a change in Kokoa's energy just like when Yukari body was made mature, which he warned them about. "So, a monsterl did this to her?" Asked Ben to his inner vampire. "Nah, the energies too pure, it wasn't one of those hybrid freaks. Just stay the hell away from..." warned Nosfer-Ben/Omnitrix, but Moka ran to her half-sister without a second thought. "Didn't you hear a word I said?!" He yelled out loud in response.
"Kokoa, is everything ok?" Asked Moka. "Yes, big sister. I'm sorry I've always been a pain in the neck to you guys, so I've gotten together with Miss Apsara and made this delicious curry for lunch! Curry up and get it!" Said Kokoa, clearly not herself, but this was lost on Moka. She just hugged her sister tightly, thinking the days of trying to kill her are finally over! "Whatever you morons do, DON'T... EAT... THE CURRY!" Warned Nosfer-Ben/Omnitrix. "No need to curry, Other Ben. There's plenty to go around, I'll just let you..." Kokoa was saying, giving a plate of curry to Moka and she started eating it. The redhead then used her free hand to touch the watch, but Ben pulled away. She didn't know how it worked, but he didn't wanna take any chances. "Kokoa, I think you need to sit down and... ommph!" That's all Ben got to say, as she shoved a spoonful of curry in his mouth. "DON'T SWALLOW IT, DON'T SWALLOW IT!" Yelled the watch...
-TIME BREAK-
2 hours later...
Mizore was walking up to campus with 2 huge pots on her back, she was up all night making curry, using all the tips and tricks Ruby taught her. As you can tell, she is late for school. She got to the front gates, only to be attacked by students... with yellow skin! They kept uttering 'curry' for some reason, and stumbled like stereotypical zombies. They also wouldn't back off, so Mizore had to 'chill them out'. Running through the halls, Mizore called for Ben multiple times, but she only got curry-fied students chasing her around. She ended up on the roof, finding Ben and her friends up there... feeding each other curry. "Ugh, FINALLY! Someone not jaundi-sized!" Called the Omnitrix. "Nosfer? What happened?" Asked Mizore, her friends were too busy eating to notice her presence. "We all decided to dress up as Despicable Minions, WHAT DO YOU THINK?! Some asshole other than me is trying to cause trouble... I get the feeling Angelica other there is involved somehow" said Nosfer-Ben/Omnitrix, referring to Kokoa.
"Then why aren't you doing anything, take over Ben like you always threaten too!" Suggested Mizore. She didn't know what was going on... and she never DREAMED she'd ask Nosfer-Ben for anything! But knew something had to be done, she wondered where the headmaster was at a time like this. "Ya don't think I've tried that already?! I've been for the last 2 freaking hours! Whatever's in this curry acts like a mind control serum... I can't take over if something's in my way, I can only do so much from the inside. You'll have to let me out manually" replied the inner vampire. However, the group finally took notice of Mizore and the curry she was carrying. If that wasn't bad enough, other students made their way up to staircase and Mizore was surrounded!
"HAHAHAHAHA! Cooking is art, art is explosion! That means SPICY!" Someone laughed from one of the schools towers before jumping off... the person exploded?! "If I hear that one more time..." commented/growled Ben's watch. "Miss Apsara?" Asked Mizore, not entirely sure who that was at first. "Mizore Shirayuki, your skin is still as white as fallen snow... you have yet to be baptized in my fountain of curry" said Miss Apsara, in her true form now. She was wearing a red two-piece that had thin, see-through ribbons; and had a plate of curry on her head... it seemed to be PART of her head rather than placed on top of it.
Kou: (is yellow-skinned, just like everyone else, and wearing a turban) Miss Apsara IS an Apsara, who wandered in from Hindu/Buddhist mythology... but they are supposed to be spirits of peace and are usually associated with water and clouds. WE... I mean, CURRRRRRRY!
"So, you did this?" Asked Mizore. "No, it was Santa Claus... who also shot JFK, you guys really are idiots!" Commented Nosfer-Ben/Omnitrix. "Of course I did. The world has been overflowing with pale imitations of curry for too long, and no one appreciates the real thing anymore, even back in my country. It is such a tragedy, so starting in this school, the entire world will finally know the true taste that can't be found in those frozen pastas... that, and Miss Shuzen has no respect for my hospitality" said Miss Apsara.
-FLASHBACK-
Earlier this morning, Kokoa was frozen cause she got into a fight with Mizore. On a stove top, the ice finally melted after an hour. Comically, her butt caught on fire cause she was sitting on the stove while it was still burning. "Super Theca!" Said Gwen, putting out the flames on Kokoa's behind. "Good, you finally thawed out" said Miss Apsara. "I told you Gwen could have done it" said Kevin, ripping off the white apron and silly chef hat he had on. He and Gwen (who forced the Osmosian against his will) were asked to help Miss Apsara today along with Ruby, but she had a 'last minute errand' to run during one of the lessons and left the 2 Americans alone with the Indian teacher.
"Nonsense, nothing a little spice can't fix. Art is explosion and that means spicy!" Said the teacher. "Oh, Yukari's was 'spicy' alright..." mumbled the ruffian, thinking about much earlier. Just before lunch period, Yukari was offering Moka some of her curry. He threw up in his mouth once he heard the words: 'frog legs, lizard tails and grasshopper extract'... it sounded anything BUT magical! Kevin then had to... excuse himself... cause Miss Apsara ACTUALLY tried... whatever the HELL was in that pot! Yukari was warning Miss Apsara NOT to make it spicier but the teacher wouldn't hear it, one of the hot pepper shakers she was using fell in and... *shutter*, nevermind.
Kokoa never thanked the teacher OR Gwen for their help, and karate chopped the plate of curry she was offered by the Apsara. (AN: Corny violin solo.)
"No thanks, a highborn super monster like me doesn't eat low-class food... especially curry from the likes of you" Kokoa rudely stated before walking out. "Kokoa..." Gwen growled, going after her. Kevin left with her, just happy this class was finally over... at least he got some extra credit for this, though he'd rather have extra GREEN credits in his pocket. Miss Apsara just stared blankly at the broken dish of curry at her feet, then her expression darkened. "L-Low... class..." she said, her eyes and the dot on her forehead glowing red as flashbacks of people bad-mouthing her curry played in her head, calling it low-class and such... this, was the last curry-coated straw!
As Kokoa left, her shoulder was grabbed by Gwen, who forcefully turned the hot-headed vampire around. "What the hell is with you, Kokoa? Miss Apsara was being nice too you and..." Gwen started speaking in Japanese, but Kokoa cut her off. "She can feed that garbage to your boyfriend if you want, not even your cousins tasty blood can rectify THAT trash" snapped Kokoa, also speaking her native tongue. They continued arguing with one another; with Gwen insulting Kokoa by saying her type of vampire needs to start feeding on brain matter for better manners, and Kokoa rudely calling her a 'Starfire knockoff'. Kevin didn't understand most of the words they said, one of them was "Kutabare"... what did that mean again?
He sensed someone... or something, approach from behind. He looked... and fear replaced his standard look, he absorbed the floor just in case. "Guys... guys... GUUUUUUUUUYS!" He yelled. "WHAT?!" Both girls screamed at him in English... they saw what he saw and the same look appeared in their faces...
SPLAT!
Gwen, Kevin and Kokoa: SPICYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!
-END FLASHBACK-
"Yup... I knew it" Nosfer-Ben/Omnitrix commented. The curry zombies started closing in around Mizore, muttering 'curry' all the while. "Back off, this curry's for Ben!" Said Mizore, kicking away the curry zombies that got too close, but it was a whole school against a single snow woman. "Come on, Mizore. Ya gotta let me out!" Said Nosfer-Ben/Omnitrix. Kicking away another student, Mizore frozen another one behind her. "Why don't you do it yourself?" She asked, kicking ANOTHER student. "I CAN'T! I've wasted 2 hours of energy already, I'm straining to even talk to ya!" Said Nosfer-Ben/Omnitrix. A curry zombie grabbed Mizore's arm, but she was able to throw her off. The circle was getting tighter around the snow woman, she couldn't keep this up forever! "I don't need you, scuzzball... GET AWAY FROM ME!" Answered Mizore, kicking 3 students and freezing 10 in a 360 radius.
Ben, still a curry zombie, got ahold of Mizore and got on top of her, uttering curry like everyone else. "Curry, I need curry!" Ben said. The rest of the curry zombies encircled the trapped snow woman, her only way out was to freeze Ben and... no, she couldn't. The watch, very slowly, dialed itself. "I w... let you... ill yourself! If you eat... you'll be... urry zom... die! Let... NOW!" Called Nosfer-Ben, using the last of his monster energy to talk to Mizore before going dead, but an image was selected. Reaching for the device, Mizore was pulled down into a pile of very... or in this case, curry obsessed people. "YES! The whole school is under my control! Now I can use them to go all around the world and..." Miss Apsara didn't get to finish gloating.
...
...
...
...
...
The pile of zombies started to...
...
...
...
FLASH!
Green light burst into the sky and tiny green bats flew into the pile of curry zombies. With another burst of energy, they were flung away from Mizore's and Nosfer-Ben's personal space, with Nosfer-Ben himself holding Mizore like a bride. He was tempted to joke about this moment, but he had a job to do so he let it go. "Lady, I'm gonna spice YOU up... then your gonna NEED some frozen pasta to cool down... but can I get a coin and scratch that on your forehead? I might win something!" Nosfer-Ben joked, his skin not yellow like everyone else. Other curry zombies that were trying to get close began to back away, the transformation didn't remove their sense of fear. "So... powerful. This is... what you really are, Mister Tennyson?" Asked Miss Apsara, shocked at how much energy was coming from 'Ben', even more that his zombified form was undone.
"T-Thanks, Nosfer..." said Mizore, getting down from Nosfer-Ben's grip. Strangely despite his muscles, his hold was very gentle and... she mentally slapped herself, now's not the time to fantasize! "ah... AHHHHHHH! AHHHHHHHHHH!" Nosfer-Ben suddenly yelled, his tongue hanging out and it was literally on fire! "HOW LID LEN MALK AOUND STHO CALMLY LIE THIZ?! MY TOGUE IS FUING HOT!" The vampire continued, waving his hands on his tongue in a vain attempt to cool it off. Mizore couldn't help but giggle at this, but she knew she had to help him, Ben was most likely feeling the pain too. "Just hold on, Nosfer!" Said Mizore, quickly setting up a makeshift cooking area with the stuff on her back. "What is that travesty?" Asked the Indian teacher, not understanding what's going on. All she knew was one of the students broke free of her spell, but the spiciness incapacitated him; and now Mizore was pulling out... curry?
"Something only a snow woman can make... shaved ice curry!" Said Mizore, in a dramatic pose presenting her dish. Half of her curry was regular while the other half was full of ice crystals. Not giving Nosfer-Ben a second, Mizore shoved a spoonful into his mouth. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! THAT CURRY IS NOTHING BUT A FALSIFICATION, CURRY IS SUPPOSED TO BE SPICY, HOW CAN YOU EAT THAT DEBASEMENT?!" Cried out the water/cloud spirit. Nosfer-Ben gulped it... and his tongue sizzled. "Ahhhhhhh... much better, and its not that bad either, best curry either of us had tasted" said Nosfer-Ben, licking his lips. Mizore couldn't help but blush, even though she made it for Ben, his vampire half liked it... so indirectly Ben must like it too!
"NO! I WON'T STAND FOR THIS! Curry like that is a perversion, so I'll have to feed you proper curry again!" Yelled Miss Apsara, summoning 2 plates of curry and tossing them at the 2 non-curry zombies. Reflexively, Mizore froze the curry dishes, with Nosfer-Ben smashing them to pieces. The Indian teacher wasn't through yet, and sent two sets of seven curry dishes at them, then 11 at once! Mizore and Nosfer-Ben took care of them easily. The Apsara then summoned a large platter of curry the size of a minivan, tossing that as well! Mizore was getting exhausted, but tried to freeze it anyway. She only managed to freeze half of it before her energy depleted, the still spicy dish heading straight for her! "GET DOWN, YUKINA!"
SHOVE!
Nosfer-Ben pushed Mizore out of harms way, only to be put in it himself. The half-frozen dish pushed Nosfer-Ben into his... *ahem*, Ben's friends, who were feeding each other curry. As he knocked into them like a Wii Sports bowling ball knocking down pins and they all crashed into the tower, another flash of energy erupted. Two people were standing confidently behind a blanket of smoke. "Moka, your... yellow too?" Said Mizore, happy to see Moka's silver-haired version for once, but was surprised to see even she had the same skin color as the zombies. Inner Moka didn't appear to be affected behavior-wise though. "Well, the other Moka and I do share the same body, curry" she answered, slapping her mouth seconds after she said that, she meant to say 'silly'. "To think... a vampire like me can be manipulated by something as ridiculous as this... the only good thing is that Nosfer-the-Joker is also..." she continued, but...
"April Fools, Moka Simpson" she saw saw Nosfer-Ben was NOT the same as she was, his side-comment didn't cheer her up either. "Are you curry kidding me?! WHY AREN'T YOU YELLOW?!" Yelled Inner Moka. "Cause unlike you, I'm just a DNA sample, baby" said Nosfer-Ben... although he said curry in place of baby, making him slap his own mouth. "Ok... that's just f****d up" he deadpanned. "HAHAHAHA! Feed them, my curry friends! FEED THEM!" Ordered Miss Apsara, the curry zombie students surrounding the 2 vampires and snow woman. Since Mizore was out of energy, it was up to Inner Moka and Nosfer-Ben to hold them off. Because of shear numbers, they were getting overwhelmed.
"KNOW YOUR CURRY!" Said Inner Moka, kicking some curry zombies away. "F*** OFF!" Said Nosfer-Ben, punching more curry zombies. The circle was getting tighter again, they were running out of room. "Ok, this is getting nowhere. KOU! Get the Superkick Counter!" Yelled Nosfer-Ben. "Superkick Counter?" Asked Inner Moka, while kicking another zombified student. "It's been here for the last 2 minutes, WE... I mean, CURRRRRRRY!" Said the mentioned bat, sitting on top of a machine that said Superkick Counter in neon lights. Below the title was a 2-digit screen that showed the number 5. "Only 5? BORING! Turn it up, Count Von Count!" Said Nosfer-Ben to Inner Moka.
She stopped moving...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
"What... did you... just call me?" Growled Inner Moka, clearly Nosfer-Ben hit a nerve... if her flaring monster energy was anything to go by. Now, even Nosfer-Ben was a little scared, he didn't see Inner Moka THIS worked up before. The 100 leftover curry zombies stopped dead as well, they got 'curry' worried. "Um... ok, you don't like that one? How about Elena Gilbert?" Asked Nosfer-Ben, with a fearful look on the outside... but on the inside: 'Nice! Let's see if we can do some more damage here!' Inner Moka didn't like that one either, her eyes got redder than they normally do. "Cut... it... out" she warned him. "Why? Because Ruka Souen has longer hair than you?" Nosfer-Ben continued, putting on a fake innocent face. Inner Moka's fists began to ball up, restraining herself. "Stop... before I do something... I regret" she snarled, trying to keep a level head. "Like Karin Maaka's family felt about her?" Said Nosfer-Ben.
...
...

...
...
...
That did it.
POW!
One student went flying... (Superkick Counter: 6)
POW!
Went another... (Superkick Counter: 7)
POW! POW! POW!
Yellow blurs kept rocketing away, by a dark-red eyed vampire who just snapped. She chased after Nosfer-Ben, kicking anything and everyone in her path! "NOW YOU'VE CROSSED THE LINE, YOU **********! YOUR AN ABSOLUTE ************, A COMPLETE ****-******* PRICK, AND THE WORST VAMPIRE IN THE HISTORY OF OUR RACE! YOU WILL..." Inner Moka roared, not caring at all who she was hurting, her prey was on the move and she was gonna feast tonight! (Superkick Counter: 10, 12, 14, 22, 34, 65) The expensive-looking machine Kou was sitting on was spinning from number to number, smoking because of how fast it was calculating.
Kou: Uh, 78... 85... 99?! SHIT IT ONLY GOES TO 99!
KA-BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
Kou: CURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRY!
PING!
"I'LL CURRY KILL YOU, THEN CLONE YOU, THEN KILL ALL YOUR CURRY CLONES...!" The enraged Inner Moka continued. Nosfer-Ben, having enough fun, decided it was time to end this. He ran in front of Miss Apsara, and pulled out a random red blanket. "Tour oh, tour oh!" He said. With smoking coming out of her nose like a cartoon-style bull, she rushed to where Nosfer-Ben stood. "IT'S CURRY TIME YOU LEARNED YOUR...!" Inner Moka roared, her foot ready to impact her target...
...
...
...
He did a Sonic the Hedgehog-like quickstep.
Miss Apsara: (eyes widen) AHHHHHHHHH!
Inner Moka: (in a demonic Satan-like voice) PLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE!
The poor Water/Cloud spirit sailed into and through a urn-like statue... for reasons unknown, it held a super motherload of curry sauce! A tsunami wave flooded the entire school except the towers, the headmaster watching just slapped his forehead. "Curry's off the menu... forever."
Kou: (is panting) ... whew... 5 minutes, 33 seconds... we, I mean... aw, forget it.
-TIME BREAK-
"UGH! What a ginormous mess! This'll take 4 weeks!" Said Ruby. The following day; she was assigned to clean up the curry sauce that stained the floors, walls and ceilings... Miss Apsara was forced to help her unless she wanted to get fired.
-TIME BREAK-
Kou: Nope, only 4 hours... (is swept away by rushing water) WAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
"Nothing a good old Water Hazard can't fix" said Water Hazard, assisting in the cleanup. The formerly curry-stained walls sparkled, twinkled and shined (AN: This is also why I had Water Hazard get unlocked by Nagare). "Thanks, Ben" said Ruby, giving Water Hazard a hug. "So... your a snail too?" Asked Miss Apsara. "A red wrestler, ghost, acid-spitter, you name it" said Water Hazard, flashing green and changing back to normal.
Later during lunch, Mizore presented a new dish. "My latest creation, shaved ice stew. Dig in, guys" said the snow woman. "What, you make ONE good meal and suddenly your a master chef? Don't start getting cocky on..." Kurumu began, but she was cut off by the rest of the group. "It's tasty, I like it" said Ben. "Mmmmm, so good!" Said Moka. "It's another masterpiece, especially after your iced curry was a big hit!" Cheered Yukari. After the curry wave, Mizore had more than enough sauce to make her shaved ice curry for the entire school... even for seconds! This also undid the spell that made the student body curry zombies in the first place, an added bonus!
The only people who didn't eat were Gwen and Kevin, just looking at the curry made them feel funny. "Eh... I'll pass" said Gwen. "I've had enough curry to last a lifetime... or twelve" said Kevin. It's not that they DIDN'T wanna try it, but being 2 of the first curry zombies did a number on them... that's probably why Kokoa was absent as well. Giving in, Kurumu also tried it. "Hmmmm, its good... whatever" she said flatly. This made the friends laugh, then Ben felt a chill up his spine. Mizore put her hand on the face-plate and looked at Ben pleadingly. "Uh... your serious?" He asked, she only nodded. "Does it HAVE to be directly, he's kinda cranky" Ben said, getting another nod.
That face she made... he couldn't say no, he didn't have the heart too. Sighing; he got up, dialed over to "his" image and slammed it down.
"YAWWWWWWWN! You better have a good reason for waking me..." Nosfer-Ben started, but Mizore stopped him by catching him off-guard for the second time that week. She hugged him, earning "WTF" stares from the others... even Ben/Inner Moka inside Nosfer-Ben's/Moka's mind was surprised. "Thanks for helping me... and before you deny it, you didn't want me to kill myself, didn't you? That proves you care about us, no matter what you say" said Mizore, explaining her reasons. Since the rest of them were curry-fied at the time, they only remembered bits and pieces of the fight. Though Nosfer-Ben gave a growl of displeasure... he didn't deny it.
Gently (which was out of his character) removing the snow woman's arms, he backed up from her and looked at everyone sitting at the table. "Ok... let's say I DO give 5 shits about you dullards, for arguments sake. What does that change? NOTHING! Each and EVERY one of you, are only blow-up dolls that I can deflate and inflate... or pop. So, for the LAST time... stop, saying, I CARE! GOODNIGHT!" Said Nosfer-Ben, punching his breastbone and returning to the Omnitrix. Ben had a coughing fit for a minute, but was fine after that. He couldn't help but mention that despite Nosfer-Ben telling them to stop assuming he cared... he didn't say that he didn't either.
"By the way, has anyone seen Gin?" Asked Ben, off-topic. They all heard a corny violin solo. Looking to the next table over...
...
...
...
...
Gin: ... what? I'm practicing.
The other Newspaper Club members just fell off the table, anime-style.
(AN: Ending Theme.)
Expanded slightly on Miss Apsara's history. It never made sense to me how just 1 student in the anime would cause the Indian to loose it, the little man in the back of my brain was asking: has this happened to her before? Then she gave Mizore her reasons, which confirmed my suspicions. As stated above, this will be the last chapter for a bit, hope you enjoyed it and I'll see ya when I see ya! By the way, does anyone else know popular vampire girls? I'm running out of ideas on how Nosfer-Ben can insult Inner Moka, your input is appreciated.
As for the superkick moment, there was zombies just standing around... had to do SOMETHING with them! Hope you all liked it, its cheesy sure, but no ones done this before. I have The Broad Road to thank for it, round of applause for him! I don't know yet if they'll be another one, I'll play it by ear and see what happens and if it works in a draft, I'll keep it.
And I can finally say, the 8000 word record has been broken, THIS chapter is over 9000 words... almost 10,000! If I don't post another chapter in the next 2 weeks, then you can expect it on New Years Day when the clock strikes 12:00 and the ball drops down, HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
