Chapter 16:
Akua kissed Mei-feng's forehead.
"Mommy will be back soon, I promise." Akua said as Mei-feng hugged her.
"Okay mommy, I'll be good form auntie Kahlua." Mei-feng said with a massive toothy smile, reminding Akua and Kahlua of Naruto.
Akua left her home, taking a jet to China.
'I hope we can figure a way out to make all of this work in our favor.' Akua thought as the jet took off, the objects keeping her, Zest, and Kahlua in the position to be used to unseal Naruto.
Akua closed her eyes as she leaned into her chair.
Next day…
"Oh, thank god we are here!" the large group of high schoolers said in unison as they landed.
They had been flying for over half a day, and they were cold. Except Mizore, who was a snow woman.
"As expected from mom and dad." Ling-ling stated as they landed on the ground, not feeling the physical exhaustion anyone would feel after a day and a half of keeping summoning creatures, but she is dead, so she didn't.
Zest smiled at she took a deep breath throw her nose.
"Agh, its good to be back." Zest stated as she had a glint in her eyes. "It has been a while since I was last here."
"You've been here before, Zest?" Kokoa asked in shock, Kou the Bat having a 'gasp' expression on its face.
"Of course, it is where I trained when we all lived at the castle." Zest reminded her.
Kokoa cupped her chin in thought, searching deep within her memory banks before a light went off above her head.
"Oh, that's right." She said, feeling stupid for not remembering this.
"Oh, don't be like that." Zest says as she hugs Kokoa, reassuring her. "It was a long time ago, so I didn't expect you to remember."
As the group headed toward the door, it opened and outstepped the patriarch and matriarch of the Huang family.
Fei-Hong Huang stood at average height with short straight black hair and has facial hair from above his lips to his chin. He bore scars from his face down to his neck, his dark-colored eyes sharp and analytical. He wore a black suit without a tie and the first button undone.
Beside him was his wife, Ten-ten Huang.
She wore traditional Chinese attire with a fan has her hair tied in two buns with flowery bobbles, and wears two tassel earrings. She also wears a red with gold patterns patterned Chinese cheongsam.
'I can see where Ling-ling and Fang-fang got their appearance.' Tsukune thought as he noticed that the Huang children took after their mother physically. 'Their dad looks like a mafia gangster!'
Fei-Hong glanced at Tsukune, who stiffened with sweat starting to bead around his forehead.
"HAhahahahaha…" Fei-Hong started to laugh, making the group (Minus Zest, Ling-ling, and Fang-fang) sweat drop. "No need to be so tense, young man. Ling-ling and Fang-fang told us about you, so feel free to be yourself around her."
"Not that funny, Fei-Hong." Zest said with a questioning tilt of her head.
"Oh, Zest, your sense of humor has always been bad." The patriarch countered, his giant smile not leaving his scarred face.
Ten-ten giggled at her husband's antics.
"I am Ten-ten, their mother." Ten-ten introduced before she gestured to the door. "Please, come in. Our welcoming banquet is ready."
"Good, because I'm starving." Fang-fang replied, his stomach letting out a massive growl, followed by everyone's stomach growling.
With embarrassment cloaking the faces of the teens, Ten-ten and Fei-Hong moved aside and ushered them inside.
"By the way, is Master Fuhai here?" Zest asked as she followed behind while Ling-ling guided the teens to the dining room.
"Yes, Grandfather is here." Fei-Hong replied as he looked at Zest.
Being the great-grandson of Touhou Fuhai, Fei-Hong had trained along side Zest in their youth.
"Zest," Ten-ten whispered in a hushed tone, to which the vampire/rabbit heard. "We have been told that there is a plane heading this way. Akua is on it."
Zest's eyes widened a bit, but nodded.
"Thank you." Zest thanked before the three adults followed the teens.
Once in the dining hall, the teens were amazed to see the giant table full of food.
"I have been waiting for you."
"Huh?"
All of them turned and saw a diminuative short man.
He was… old.
He was heavily wrinkled, wearing black circular glasses as he smoked a Chinese pipe. He wore a white, bell sleeved robe over a black robe under it.
"Oh, this is a nice butler." Kurumu stated as she bowed.
"That's not the butler." Zest stated as she moved past Kurumu, who was confused at what Zest said. "It has been a while, Master Fuhai."
"WAIT WHAT!"
"What?" Ling-ling asked as she, Fang-fang, and Zest bowed to the Dark Lord. "This is Touhou Fuhai, the man we are here to see."
"But, but… but…"
Fuhai busted a gut laughing at the confusion of the teens as the family and Zest sat down to eat.
"Come on, you, guys." Zest laughed out, smiling at the confusion of all the teens. "It's going to get cold."
"Come on, eat up. It's the first time Fang-fang had had friends over." Fei-Hong stated proudly with a massive smile as he held up a bottle of beer.
Everyone sat down and started to eat.
"Come on, you have to try a little." Fei-Hong stated as he urged Tsukune to drink.
"Sir, I'm underage…" Tsukune stated before the bottle was shoved into his mouth, its contents following gravity into Tsukune's stomach.
"Wow, you are… just as I thought for a Yakuza leader." Kurumu mumbled.
"True, but it is strange to see this in person." Mizore replied, getting a nod from Kokoa, who agreed with her.
"Well, I wasn't always like this." Fei-Hong responded, making the three teens tense as he turned his gaze to them. "You could say I am like Romeo."
"… What?"
"Fei-Hong got married to the daughter of a rival Gang's leader." Zest informed them, taking a glass of wine, grazing it with her fangs. "However, I doubt Romeo had to deal with the stuff he has to."
"Ow, you wound me Zest." Fei-Hong replied, grasping his chest. "But then that means Ten-ten is Juliet, but…"
"OPENING!" Fuhai shouted as he leaped from his chair, and with a speed no one but the adults could follow, danced upon the table, ending up at the end with ALL of the food on his plate with a whole cooked duck in his now elongated mouth. "Dinner always tastes better with guests."
Four acupuncture needles embedded themselves into his head.
The terrified teens turned to see Ten-ten, standing in a martial-arts pose with a dark aura around her. Her eyes slanted dangerously.
"Eat quietly…" She stated in a tone that showed NO room for argument.
Fei-Hong laughed as his great-grandfather instantly put the food back, eating a bowl of rice in silence.
"HAHAHA, she might not look like it, but she is a true martial artist." Fei-Hong laughed, Zest smirking in agreement.
'Damn, Juliet is the scariest one here.' The teens thought as they ate in silence, not wanting to encore the wrath of Ten-ten.
'This is unexpected.' Outer Moka said with a giggle from within the rosary.
"Outer…"
'I expected Touhou Fuhai to be strict.' Outer Moka continued. 'It's sort of hard to see him as the worlds most powerful dark arts users.'
"No, don't be tricked by his appearance. He might not look it, but he is currently not showing any openings, even as he eats." Moka replied as she blinked when she took notice of how close Fuhai had gotten when she wasn't paying attention.
"Oh, so you can speak to the rosary?" Fuhai stated as he looked at the rosary. "Very interesting."
Moka shot back a bit as Fuhai grabbed it, looking it over.
"HEY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING!" Kokoa shouted as she slammed her hands on the table.
"And when did he get that close to Moka!" Tsukune stated as he didn't see or hear Fuhai move from his chair.
"As expected of you, Fuhai, but let's cut to the chase." Moka said as she stayed calm.
"Hm, true." Fuhai replied as he released the rosary and looked at Moka's wrist.
He looked at the teal jewel bracelet on her wrist.
"I remember when Naruto was making these." He mumbled, getting Kokoa and Moka's attention.
"You knew Naruto?" Kokoa asked as she grabbed her necklace.
"Of course." Fuhai stated as he turned to the orange haired vampire. "Who do you think taught him about seals."
"You taught our brother about seals?" Moka asked dumbfounded.
"Yes, he did." Zest replied as she held her own necklace.
"Here, wear this." Fuhai told Moka, handing her a bag. "It's a legendary item."
Few Minutes Later…
"What about this… is legendary?" Moka asked, wearing cosplay that looked like a bra, panties, and leggings of Japanese Oni clothing.
Stars were shining bright in Fuhai's eyes.
"CALL ME DARLING IF YOU WANT TO ADDRESS ME!" Fuhai shouted in excitement as he jumped toward Moka, only to be grabbed by the face via Zest's hand.
She used his momentum to slam Fuhai into the ground.
"What the fuck~" Tsukune asked in confusion, thoroughly aroused at seeing Moka exposed.
"Grandpa is a big Otaku." Fang-fang explained sheepishly.
"GYAGH!" Fuhai shouted as he pulled his head out of the hole. "I LOVE 2D GIRLS!" Tears streaming down his weathered cheeks. "I REALIZED THAT AS I GOT OLDER, WOMEN WOULD LEAVE ME, BUT MANGA GIRLS NEVER DID! LONG LIVE 2D!"
"He is an otaku who loves Manga way too much." Zest explained as she kept Fuhai from grabbing Moka, who was covering herself with a blanket.
Sizzling, Moka punched Fuhai, only to hit air as he vanished, reappearing behind her.
His arms wrapped around her, clinging to her.
"OH~ such soft skin~" He stated with enthusiasm.
Moka growled as she felt him spin around, now in front of her, raising her hand to hit him.
"You're Moka Akashiya, right?" Fuhai stated, making Moka stop. "I can feel it. Your auras may be different, but you are still the same."
"What…"
"You're like your mother, Akasha." Fuhai stated as he released her.
"Akasha…" Zest whispered.
"Mother…" Moka mumbled as she redressed into her normal clothing.
"Yes, I was sad when Mikogami told me she vanished." Fuhai stated as he glanced at Zest. 'Even though I know that there is someone who can tell me what happened, I wouldn't force it.'
"My mother left me nothing, but this rosary." Moka stated as she clutched the object as Fuhai fumbled around a small desk. "She had all her diaries destroyed and anything that could have been left behind was taken." Moka looked at Fuhai, who looked back at her. "It is why I will protect this seal, even at the cost of my freedom."
Fuhai and Zest smiled as they heard those words.
'She is just like Akasha.' Fuhai thought as he remembered a distant memory.
When he, Mikogami, and Akasha were much younger, hundreds of years ago, before they defeated Alucard.
Akasha had been strong headed and willing to sacrifice herself, much to Mikogami and Fuhai's resistance.
She had sealed herself within Alucard, keeping him dormant, until Issa Shuzen found the body and freed her.
Fuhai somberly drew a sword, startling Moka and the rest.
"Very well, I shall accept your offer. I shall repair your seal." Fuhai stated as he placed a talisman on the sword, which caught fire. "Akasha was a strong headed woman."
Fuhai placed the tip of the blade before Moka's rosary.
"She was very strong, needing to be with the burden she carried." He continued. "The reason why she sealed your powers away was to keep you safe from the horrible business she was in."
"What do you mean by burden…" Moka asked before she was shushed.
"Quiet, this is where it gets serious." Fuhai stated, his tone and attitude being very serious from before.
Fuhai stabbed the gem of the rosary.
"Seal Release." He mumbled as a surge of power emanated from the rosary.
He removed the sword as a beam of light shot from the rosary, not noticing the teal gem on her wrist starting to glow and shake.
"What are those lights!" Tsukune asked as he watched Moka worriedly shake, not knowing what to do.
"The maze of geometric shapes that these lights form," Fuhai stated as he grabbed a magnifying glass. "Is what we call 'seal'. This is what your seal is made from, Moka Akashiya."
"Everyone, back up." Zest stated pulling Kokoa and Kurumu away as Fei-Hong and Ten-ten pulled everyone else away.
"Seals are a kind of filter." Fuhai explained as he observed the seal. "It is like straining noodles from the boiling water. Pour the noodles out and you ruin the noodles. Pour it into a strainer, and you save the noodles."
"That was something Naruto would say." Moka mumbled.
"Yes, it is." Fuhai chuckled before he saw something wrong. "There is a big disconnect here. This damage isn't recent. Like the seal had been broken once before."
'He must be talking about last years cultural festival, when we fought Hokuto.' Moka thought as she remembered Outer Moka cracking the seal because Tsukune was to far to remove it himself. 'It has been a year then.'
"HM?" Fuhai hummed as he saw something. "HM! WHAT… Mikogami, this isn't… wait! It's… what is this…" Fuhai got closer as his panic grew. "This isn't what we talked about, Mikogami, but then there is this…"
"Fuhai, what is going on?" Zest asked her teacher, never seeing him like this before.
"Mikogami, why did you hide this from me!" Fuhai called out. "This seal isn't to suppress power, but then there is the addition…"
The light that bellowed from the gem flickered dangerously.
"Hm?" Fuhai hummed in confusion.
A beam of light struck his forehead, going through him.
"!?" Fuhai was in shock as multiple beams of light, red and teal, spewed from the rosary, striking him in multiple areas.
"MR. FUHAI!" Tsukune screamed as he went to help him with Mizore.
"NO, DON'T GET CLOSER!" Fuhai shouted. "IT'S A REJECTION RESPONSE. THE SEAL IS CLOSING ITSELF! IF THE LIGHT STRIKES YOU, YOU'LL GET DRAGGED IN!"
It was to late.
Tsukune and Mizore were struck with the light beams.
A vortex of air was sucked into the rosary, and when it calmed, Fuhai, Tsukune, and Mizore were missing.
"WHAT!" everyone screamed before they felt a malicious aura appear outside the door.
"It seems she is here." Zest stated in dread.
Outside…
With a large group of men behind her, Akua stood tall, the wind whipping her long hair as she pulled down her hood.
"I can't wait to see you again, Moka, Kokoa, Zest." She mumbled with a small smile as she reached up and knocked on the massive door.
Moka's Seal…
"OW…" Tsukune whined as he hit the ground.
He picked himself up, brushing off the dirt as his eyes widened, revealing he was standing on a cliff edge in sight of a gigantic castle.
Castle Shuzen.
"Where… what…" Tsukune asked in shock. "Where am I?"
"Who are you?"
Tsukune turned.
"Moka?"
"Hm? How do you know my name?"
Tsukune was looking at Moka.
But she was shorter, no longer looking like a teenager, looking like she was either eight to ten years old as she didn't wear the rosary. She was wearing a light sun dress as she looked at the strange teen.
"Is it really you, Moka?" Tsukune asked in confusion.
Moka quirked an eyebrow as she took a step back.
"My parents and brother told me to never talk to strangers." Moka stated with unsureness.
"MOKA!"
The young girl turned and saw Akasha and Naruto.
"Naruto, there was a strange… boy…?" Moka started to say, pointing toward Tsukune, only to turn back and see Tsukune wasn't there. "What…"
"Oh, Moka, you're funny." Naruto said as he patted his sister's head, making Moka puff out her cheeks.
"I am not playing." Moka stated, stomping her foot. "There was an intruder!"
"Okay, Moka, let's go back." Akasha stated as she took her daughter's hand.
Moka pouted as she took Akasha's hand in her right and then took Naruto's left.
"You keep pouting like that and you'll become a manju bun." Naruto joked as her cheeks puffed out more in anger.
"I WILL NOT BECOME A MANJU BUN!" Moka shouted cutely, causing Akasha and Naruto to laugh.
Meanwhile, Tsukune was being held by two strong arms as they dangled over the edge of the cliff, a hand firmly clamped over his mouth to keep him silent.
"Okay, it seems they are far enough away now." A familiar sounding voice said as the sounds of clanking metal as Tsukune felt them start to move upward. "You alright, Tsukune?"
Tsukune watched as he was placed down on the ground, due to them now being safely back on the cliff.
"Yeah…" Tsukune started to ask as he turned to see the person who had been holding him. "But who are you?"
The person laughed as the chains that came from their back retreated within him, his tail swaying back and forth as he stared at the teen.
His blonde hair like the sun with two fox ears on his head as he scratched the back of his head.
"That's right, Moka, Kokoa, and Zest never told you what I look like." He said with a chuckle. "I'm Naruto."
