Chapter Six: Summer Break At Castle Shuzen
The next day, Moka woke up to find Arashi not present. "I wonder where he is?" After getting prepared
to start the day, Moka went to the living area to find Arashi having a conversation with Issa and Akasha.
She came in as Arashi was about to reveal what he was. Issa asked "So, boy, what kind of monster are
you?" Akasha stared at Arashi with great intrigue. Arashi then said "Well, I'm not actually a monster. I
am the vessel for the Archangel Azriel" The room went so silent, you could hear a pin drop, for everyone
knew of the legendary power of angels, let alone an Archangel. Issa broke the silence by saying "so you
are the vessel for the most powerful being in existence other than God himself?" "Yes, that's what I've
been told." Issa then experienced a sudden flare with his prideful vampire nature. "Just to warn you,
boy, that is the only reason you were able to defeat me." "Oh yes, sir, of that I have no doubt." Issa then
thought to himself "he may not be a very confident one, but at least he isn't an arrogant prick." Akasha
then asked "why was it you that were chosen to be the vessel?" "Honestly, I have no idea. I asked Azriel
and he himself doesn't know. The only thing he could say on the subject was that it was God's will, and
His will is perfect and just." Issa then changed the subject by asking "So, boy, you have taken a liking to
my daughter?" This made Arashi blush in nervousness and made Moka blush slightly. "Yes, sir." Issa then
thought to himself "Well, there is no denying that, with the beating you gave me", but his vampiric pride
wouldn't dare let him admit that aloud. His only response after a brief silence was "indeed." So after
their conversation, Moka and Arashi spent the rest of the break getting to know the entire family, or
watching TV, or taking walks in the countryside, or just lying in Moka's bed in one another's embrace in
silence just enjoying each other's presence. Arashi then turned to Moka and asked, "Moka, would you
like to go spend our last weekend on summer break at my parents' house?" "Yes, Arashi, I would love
to." So early the next morning, they packed their things, said goodbye to everyone, and Issa had them
delivered to Arashi's house in one of his limousines. On the way, Moka re-attached her Rosary. When
Arashi asked why, she told him that her outer self is nicer to new people. Arashi just nodded in
agreement and they spent the rest of the ride laughing, watching TV, playing cards, or just sat in silence
enjoying each other's company. When they pulled up, Moka, in her mind said, "This is a rather bland
house." Inner Moka chimed in by saying, "Yes, I agree, sister." They made their way into the house and
Arashi exclaimed "Mom, Dad, I'm home!" His parents then turned the corner and embraced Arashi.
When they noticed Moka, they were awestruck at her beauty and elegance. "Who is this, Arashi?"
"Mom, Dad, this is Moka Akashiya, my girlfriend." She blushed when he said that. Even though they
have been together for almost four months, it still gave her butterflies when she thought about herself
and Arashi being a couple. "Wow, son, I'm proud of you" was his father's response and his mother
embraced Moka in a hug and said, "Well I'm glad Arashi finally found a girl." Arashi then groaned
"Mom" in slight embarrassment. This made Moka laugh to herself. "Ok, you two, go upstairs and get
cleaned up. We're going out to dinner to officially welcome Moka to the family." Arashi and Moka
obliged and when they all got ready, they went out into town to get something to eat at the nicest
restaurant in town. After dinner, they all went home. Moka and Arashi planned to go out and go
shopping tomorrow, much to Arashi's disgust. Moka said "we need to buy you new clothes, and I could
use the relaxation myself, so we're going." All Arashi did was groan, but he knew there was no getting
around it. So he agreed and they kissed each other goodnight and went sleep.
