Chapter Eight: New Year At Youkai Academy
Moka and Arashi awoke early that Monday morning in order to have time to eat and get ready without
needing to rush themselves. When they arrived at the bus stop, Arashi noticed Moka was a little off that
morning, so he decided to find out what was wrong. "What's the matter, Moka? You haven't been
yourself recently." "I'm sorry, Arashi. I'm just really nervous." "Well I'm sorry Moka. You don't need to
be nervous. I'm right here for you." With a smile and blush Moka said "Thank you, Arashi." They then
shared a brief kiss as the bus to the Academy was pulling up. "You kids ready to go?" "Yes, sir." When
they pulled up at the school, Moka and Arashi made their way to homeroom to start their junior year.
Ms. Nekonome welcomed everyone back and let the students have a free day to get reacquainted with
their friends and re-learn the academy grounds. After the day was over, everyone made their way to
their dorms, except for Arashi and Moka. They just walked around the campus enjoying each other's
company and presence. "Moka, I want to ask you something." "Ok, Arashi, ask away." Moka, do you
love me?" "More than anything, Arashi." "Moka, do you trust me?" "Yes, Arashi, with my life. Not to be
rude, but why are you asking me questions like this?" After that was said, Arashi inhaled and exhaled
with more than usual amount of force. He then turned to Moka and stared in her gorgeous emerald
eyes for just a moment, and then he slowly went down on one knee and presented her a diamond ring
that her father had given Arashi after he secretly asked for her father's blessing. At the sight of this,
Moka began to tear up, but with tears of joy, for she had secretly dreamed of this day since Arashi saved
her life. "Moka, I love you more than life itself. Every time I look at you, I know that there is a God, who
loves me so much, that he took the time to create you. I want to spend the rest of my existence with no
one but you as my true love. Moka Akashiya, will you do me the honor to take my last name and
become Moka Tanaka?" Moka stood there for a second that felt like eternity for the both of them. She
had so many emotions and thoughts swirling around in her head and to be honest, she was scared and
happy and excited all at once. But to break the silence, she simply said "Yes, Arashi. I would love nothing
more than that." They both then embraced each other and shared the most passionate and heart-filled
kiss they both could muster. The moment was pure bliss and ecstasy for the both of them, for they had
just truly confessed their love for each other and were bound to be together for the rest of their days.
As all this was going on, the headmaster heard what had just happened and said to himself "a vampire
and an Archangel married, I never thought I would see the day." The next day, they both awoke and
planned on the wedding date for most of the day. They both decided on November 17th, for it was the
night of the Blood Moon, a rare cosmic event that only occurred every 5,000 years, and it just so
happened that this year was the 5,000 year mark. Also, it is known as "Night of the Vampires", which
means that vampires are at their physical, mental, and spiritual peak on this night, and this was the
reason why Arashi agreed to it. Then Arashi looked at Moka and asked, "Moka, may I have one
request?" "Ok, Arashi, what is it?" "May I name our first son, then you can name the rest of our
children?" Moka thought for a moment then said "Yes, Arashi, that seems fair, but what will you name
our first son?" "Hiroki Takumi Tanaka." "Arashi, that is a beautiful name, I love it." "I had a feeling you
would." They both shared a smile then there was a knock at the door. Arashi opened the door to find
the headmaster standing there. "Ah, Mr. Tanaka, how are you?" "I'm fine, sir." "Wonderful, so the
reason I am here is that I request to have an audience with you and Miss Akashiya, or should I say soon
to be Mrs. Tanaka in my office as soon as you both can. Arashi and Moka then thought to themselves
"how does he know? We haven't even told our parents yet." But they both agreed and began to get
ready and made their way to the headmaster's office.
