Influence
"What…could you explain why you are asking me to join the council" Tsukune said flabbergasted. In front of him members of the vampire council sat before him, Even Mr. Basin and Akasha were among them. An old looking male vampire rolled his eyes " If you insist…the council has decided that you should be apart in our duties…this is merely because of the influence you have over other monsters and even the humans…being part of the council does not grant you any extra privileges it just means you will be apart of discussing and deciding actions that need to be taken for vampirc matters…you can however turn down the offer" the old vampire spoke sounding hopeful when he mentioned turning down the offer.
"Akasha gave Tsukune a smile before talking. " You may not think much about it but you have done quite a few things that have influenced others, a good example is the speech you made a few years ago…the reaction wasn't immediate but eventually your words start making people think differently about the treatment of monsters…before that monsters who tried to walk around in their true form would be stopped and penalized now they are not…not to mention the many times you have eased tension and smoothed over relationships between the humans and monsters"
Once Akasha had stopped speaking a female vampire spoke "Though most of us here care little of the bonds and relationships between other monsters and humans your words carry more weight then before…You have even have Ms. Bloodriver agree to become apart of you clan…we do so believe that many will listen to you even here within the vampire race…now Mr. Aono it is time to decide to take the offer or not.
Tsukune looked at those before him. If here turned his head away from their gaze it would show weakness. Several seconds passed before Tsukune opened his mouth to speak. "I shall accept the offer". Many of the members were indifferent to his decision, one or two looked displeased but both Akasha and Mr. Basin looked happy despite not smiling.
"Very well, as a council member you are required to come to all meetings unless of an unlikely emergency…You can call far a meeting as well, Mr. Basin can give the information to contact us…the times that we work are taken into account so it will not interfere with your job…that is all that needs to be said let us be dismissed.

After getting the contact information Tsukune left the building the meeting was being held in. As he walked outside he heard someone call out to him. He turned around to see Akasha wave at him from afar. Tsukune waited for her to reach him. She let out a happy sigh "Now that I don't need to take so formally why don't we chat" she said "sure I haven't talked with in for a while" Tsukune replied. "Yes it has been…why don't we go to the park it's only a few blocks from here…unless you have something planned with Moka in a little while" She asked. "Moka is going to be at college for a few more hours, she is working hard like she usually does" He said with a proud smile.

"So what do think of becoming a council member?" Akasha asked as the two of them walked down the brick path in the park. "It…it feels weird…like I was just handed more power then I'm ready for" Tsukune replied. Akasha let out a small laugh. "Oh Tsukune it's not that big a deal…yes you now have a voice that may impact decisions but I think that is a good thing…Among those of us who wish to change the world for the better you are a good asset" "I guess so" Tsukune said as he watched a couple handing hands walk by.
For a time the two of them walked around observing the world around them. Akasha once again was the first to speak up. "You know Tsukune in a way I thing you have a special bond with us demon lords" Tsukune looked at her "what do you mean…" "Well for starters you carry the Shinso blood I carry though it was passed on to you by Moka…I have also trained you…Tohofuhai used the human transformation technique on you helping you to become strong enough to go up against Fairy Tale…" "True, but what about the headmaster?" Tsukune asked "well…he did may not have helped you directly too often but he kept you from becoming a Ghoul and pushed you to make decisions that would effect your life" Akasha replied.
"Yes, the three of you have been a great help…And so have my friends…if they hadn't been there I don't think I would have gotten this far" Tsukune said looking at Akasha for any expression she may have. Akasha smiled at Tsukune before she stopped and walked over to a bed of flowers to her left. Tsukune followed her and stood besides her as she kneeled down to examine the flowers. Tsukune raised his arm so he could look at his watch. "You need to go so?" Akasha asked "soon but I have a few more minutes…so um how are things between you and Issa?" he asked with a hint of worry that the question was too awkward.
Akasha paused for a second before continuing to examine the flowers. "Things are…they are getting better but he still has his trust issues…" "Well I guess that is to be expected since almost all of the Shuzen family and allies betrayed him and joined Fairy Tale" Tsukune said. "Yes but he didn't have to shut me out…As his wife he should be able to trust me…maybe it's been to long since I was consumed by Alucard…I just can't live with someone who is always watching, thinking I may do something to betray him…with that said at least he is trying to trust people more, but I fear it is to late for us…" "I'm sure you found romance again either with Issa or someone else…You have a wonderful personality and you are beautiful woman" Tsukune said smiling brightly. Akasha turned her head to face him. Her mouth opened but no words came out. She looked like see was stunned to hear what Tsukune had said. She got up and dusted herself off. "You know if Moka heard you say that she would get angry" Akasha said with a smirk. "I knowww…If she heard me say that I'm sure she would kick me into the sky" Tsukune said with a nervous laugh. "You know if I was a few thousand years younger or you were a few thousand years older I think I would…I would have fallen for you" Akasha said with a huge smile on her face. Tsukune couldn't help but blush. "However I am glad that you and my daughter have each other" Akasha continued. "Yes I'm glad as well…and that feeling won't change" Tsukune said.

After stopping to eat at a fast food restaurant Tsukune returned home. Tsukune could sense that Moka was in their room. He went straight upstairs. Opening the door Moka was already looking in his direction. "How did it go" she asked as she returned to placing clothes back into their dresser. "Well I accepted an invitation to join the vampire council" he said modestly Moka said nothing at first however she looked impressed. "For some reason I know that their summons was going to end up being a good thing" Moka said. "Ha…Yea you did tell me that" As Moka finish putting the Clothes away Tsukune walked up behind her. Gently placing his arms around her, Tsukune hugged Moka. Moka turned her head to face his. Tsukune dipped his head down and kissed her hard. As they kissed Tsukune released his hold on Moka as she turned her body around. Several minutes later they broke the kiss only to catch their breath. After regaining enough air in their lungs they continued to kiss each other. Moka's hands now on the sides of Tsukune's head. After a time Moka drew away from Tsukune's face, and looked up at him lustfully. "You don't have to be gentle with me" She spoke in a seductive tone.
