Chapter 10

You Are Still Family

"Mmm…mmchu…ahhh…haaah…Moka-san…" Kasumi moans softly through the kiss.

Moka does the same, hugging her beloved while pressing her against a tree. "You're so irresistible…my heart cannot take it…"

The two kiss to their heart's content with Moka's breasts pressing against Kasumi's humble ones. The afternoon is just so peaceful right now that Moka is so desperate to give all her love to Kasumi.

"Also…Kasumi…I'm really, really thirsty right now…" Moka's eyes sparkle as she leans closer. "Your blood, Kasumi. I want it right now~"

"W-wait…Moka-san…!"

Capu-chuuuuuuuuu~

Moka drinks her beloved's blood happily. And the shy brunette just stands there, taking it.

Unbeknownst to the lovely couple, Kokoa watches from behind a tree from a distance. She almost makes claw marks on the bark of the tree as she grits her teeth in anger.

"That Kasumi Aoi girl," the pig-tailed vampire says. "Why must she steal away MY Onee-sama? She's interfering with my love for her!" She keeps on watching…until something amazing happened.

After Moka pulls away, she giggles and hugs the brunette tightly.

"Kasumi…I'm so happy to be in love with you~!" she squeals.

The shy brunette flails her arms wildly, trying to break free. "M-Moka-san…too tight…!" She tries to reach over to push her away, but accidentally pulls the seal and the rosary clinks to the ground.

Pink light flashes before her eyes and Vampire Moka appears in a flash. Kasumi backs away a few steps.

"S-sorry…!" the shy girl squeaks. "It was an accident…!"

"Don't fret," Vampire Moka flips her hair and puts a hand on her hip. "Shit happens, don't worry. Besides, if you hadn't done that, the other Moka would've been all over you for the rest of the afternoon."

"Y-yeah…" Kasumi gives a nervous smile.

Kokoa's eyes widen in surprise. "No…freaking…way! Kasumi Aoi is the key to releasing the real Onee-sama!? If that's the case, I have to force her to do it again! Then, we can be together just like we used to!"

**Next Day**

Kokoa decides to keep an eye on Kasumi for a bit. So far, she sees that Kasumi is always with Moka, other than being with her other girlfriends. This can be a bit more tricky than she thought, but she still has to make Kasumi pull the seal. She continues to spy on the couple for a few more hours, not caring if she skipped class.

Lunch arrives, which means Kokoa has an opportunity to talk to Kasumi and Kasumi alone. She makes her move as soon as Moka and Kasumi head outside. The pig-tailed vampire slides in front of the lovely couple, stopping them in their tracks.

"You!" Kokoa points to the shy brunette. "We need to talk, Kasumi Aoi!"

"M-Me…?" Kasumi asks, pointing to herself.

"Yes you!" Kokoa replies and takes her hand. "No time to explain! Leave Onee-sama here! She can wait!"

"But…!" Moka tries to reach for her but Kokoa is long gone. The pinkette whines and gives a sad look, wondering what in the world are they going to talk about.

Kokoa takes Kasumi to the back of the school where no one else is around to hear their conversation and then turns toward the shy brunette.

"I need a favor to ask from you," she says. "And you will do EXACTLY as I say!"

"Wh-wha….?" Kasumi holds up her hands in defense. "P-please…if you're going to fight me, I'm not all for it-"

"No, not that!" Kokoa shouts. "I want you to release the real Onee-sama for me!"

"Eh!?" Kasumi squeaks. "H-how did you know…?"

"I saw you!" Kokoa says. "You are the key to releasing Onee-sama! If you do this, you will never deal with me ever again! I can leave you and your friends alone and I can have Onee-sama all to myself!"

Kasumi pauses and holds her forearm. "I…can't…"

"What…?" Kokoa glares at the shy girl.

"Listen…I know how much you adore Moka-san…" Kasumi says. "But I love her more than anything. I cannot let her go like this…"

"You have to!" Kokoa shouts, stepping closer to her. "If you don't do this, I'll be all alone again! I have no one to turn to otherwise!"

Kasumi gasps softly and then puts on a gentle smile. "I see. So that's what it is. I heard you say that before. But Kokoa-chan…you have to think about what Moka-san wants first. She needs to decide if she wants to stay with you or not."

"Wh-why do you say that…?" Kokoa trembles as she backs away a few steps. "How come you are so nice to me when I'm trying to hound you into doing what I ask!?"

"I'm used to these kinds of things," Kasumi says softly. She pets the pig-tailed girl. "Back then, I was bullied into doing what they say, no matter what. The guys would pick on me and the girls would make me do their bidding. Most likely the Queen Bee would be doing that sort of thing."

"So…you're…not going to do what I ask?" Kokoa says.

"No…but I WILL try to make you understand," Kasumi says, her smile never leaving her face. "Moka-san and I are a couple. It's impossible for me to convince her to stay with you even if I wanted to."

Kokoa bites her lip and turns away from the shy brunette. "I did not realize….you were just like me…" She runs away without another word.

Kasumi just stands there, stunned. Kokoa must really love her Moka very much. She knows exactly how it feels to be alone.

**Next Day**

On the school roof, Kokoa was called to meet up there for an important discussion. Kasumi and Moka arrive just 5 minutes after the pig-tailed vampire arrived. The smaller one turns to the lovely couple, who are holding hands. She sighs in disappointment, realizing that there is no way for her to drive them apart. The couple approach the younger vampire.

"Kokoa-chan…" Kasumi says softly. "I believe I should give you what you want at this time." She reaches over and pulls off the seal.

Pink light flashes before their eyes and Vampire Moka appears. Kasumi also transforms into her kitsune form.

"ONEE-SAMAAAA~!" Kokoa jumps into the silver haired beauty's arms, rubbing her face against her chest. "Yes, yes, yeeeesss! Ohhh, I'm so happy to finally see you! It's been so long~!"

"Yeah, yeah, whatever," Vampire Moka pushes the younger vampire away. "Now then, cut to the chase. Why do you want me so badly? I told you, times change."

"There is no one else to turn to but you, Onee-sama~" Kokoa says. "It HAS to be you! No one at the house seems to care!"

"Wait…what do you mean?" Kitsune Kasumi asks.

Kokoa bites her lip and hugs herself. "As you may have heard, Onee-sama and I are super close. Just…her and Mother…were very nice to me. The other members of the family just threw me away like trash. Like I don't exist. Well…except for one, other than Onee-sama here. But the point is: I haven't seen Onee-sama for a very long time and I have been longing to spend time with her. I want to go back to the old times, to catch up on things."

"But now that you're at this school, shouldn't that be the opportunity?" Kitsune Kasumi asks.

"No way," Kokoa says. "You know the number one rule of this school."

"I know," Kitsune Kasumi says. "And I also know what it's like to be treated like I'm invisible. I've been there. Though, I may not have a sibling myself, I treat my own mom like we're sisters."

"Kokoa," Vampire Moka says. "I may not want to admit it but…I DO love you. Even though we're on different paths, we're still family. You don't have to bust your ass just to see me all the time. I can make the decision whether or not to spend time with you. It's just how it is."

Kitsune Kasumi nods in agreement. "If you can accept us as a couple, Kokoa-chan…we can accept you. You're not alone. In fact, you're never alone. It may take some convincing to have my friends befriend you, but…you have to know that there are good people in the world. I, myself, found that out when I first met Moka-san."

Vampire Moka blushes, but turns away to hide it. Kitsune Kasumi spreads her arms wide, offering a hug.

"Will you accept me…Kokoa-chan~?" she says softly.

The younger vampire looks at Vampire Moka and then at Kitsune Kasumi. She slowly steps toward the kitsune and wraps her arms around the blonde fox. "I…I don't know why but…you feel so warm…"

"I bring warmth to those who need cheering up," Kitsune Kasumi pets the younger vampire. "My mom taught me that a long time ago."

Vampire Moka just has her arms crossed, watching her little sister bond with Kasumi. It makes her a bit happy to see that Kokoa is slowly opening up. And in due time, Kokoa will open up to the rest of Kasumi's friends.
