Onto the Story
Eclipse
"Kumiko," Moka called out from her small living room. She had already finish dressing in her uniform and was ready to be on her way to school, she just had to wait until Kumiko was finish dressing. "Are you finishing in there?"
She paused for a moment when she heard shuffling in the room, a second later Kumiko came out fully dressed in her favorite colors. She was dress in a white t-shirt that had an ice blue wolf in the middle, and a blue skirt that was decorated with Sakura petals. She had that same huge smile on her face and clutched in her hands was her black teddy bear that she carried around with her. Moka smiled at her and walked towards her before bending down on one knee to her level, she then began fixing Kumiko's long sliver hair. Kumiko giggled a bit as a tickle feeling speared through the top of her head as her mother fixes her hair into a ponytail.
"There you go," Moka said finishing her hair. "Now are you ready to go?"
Kumiko nodded eagerly, "I'm ready Kaa-san."
Moka smiled and stood up to her full height, grabbing onto her daughter's hands she grabbed her keys and walked out of the door. She quickly turn around and made sure the door was lock, after that was finish she turn back around and both daughter and mother began walking towards school. Moka looked around seeing that nothing had change since the one day her and the others had left to go get Kumiko. She sighed to herself as her thoughts trace back to what happen between her and Ichigo in her dorm room. How long had she felt in his hands tracing across her body like that? Just thinking about it made her body start to heat up again.
She was happy with the small accomplish me she had made; the feelings Ichigo had for her so long ago were still there. He might try to hide it from her through the anger he feel towards her, but she now knew that his feelings for her were still there. She just had to find a way to bring them out again like so long ago, she just had to gain his trust and maybe everything could go back the way it used to be between them. She looked down at Kumiko to see the little girl smiling and skipping along the way and giggling at things she thought was funny. This was another reason onto why she had to fix things between her and Ichigo, she couldn't have her daughter looking at them and seeing her father hating her.
"Moka-chan," A voice called out from behind the two
Moka stopped walking and turn around to see Tsukune smiling at her and the others following right behind him. She smiled back at the brown haired boy before looking behind him to see Kurumu looking at her with an annoyed expression on her face. She lightly glared at her, she might be her friend and she grateful for that but she didn't like that she wanted to choose the things in her life. She had already told each of them that she had wanted to go alone with Ichigo, but they refuse to listen to her and got injured for it.
"Hello, Tsukune-kun." Moka greeted with a smile
Tsukune nodded to her with the same smile on his face, he then heard a giggle and looked down to see Moka's daughter seemly playing with what looked like a butterfly. He was a bit confused on why the little girl was with Moka when she had classes to go to, maybe she might ask a teacher or Kokoa to watch her when she goes to class. He was also kind of confused at the little girl, she seem to have no arrogance in her body whatsoever like other vampire's he has met. She was arrogant like Inner Moka but did have a fierce temper which he had witness the other day. But most of her personality seems to radiate from the Moka in front of him other than Inner Moka.
He observed the girl more closely, other than looking a bit like each other he saw nothing else that the girl resembled Ichigo in anyway. He was just guessing though because the girl seems to have every trace in her that claims her as Moka's daughter. Her fierce personality she had shown back at the castle was another thing that might claim her as Ichigo's daughter but her's wasn't blood thirsty like his. He was still wondering a bit why would Moka want someone like that around her daughter with the way he acted? He just couldn't understand that. He sighed, if she wanted him around her daughter than he had no say in it all he had to do was stay by her side and make her know that he's here for her.
Moka looked at her other friends, "Hello Kurumu-chan, Mizore-chan, and Yukari-chan." She greeted towards each other them
Yukari smiled and waved a bit at her, "Hello there Moka-chan"
Mizore and Kurumu grunted in acknowledgement, both were still a bit ticked off the way Moka acted towards Tsukune the other day. Neither of them getting how the vampire could remotely have feelings for that... monster. Couldn't she see that he didn't even deserve being with her after what he did to her? She also didn't deserve to be with Tsukune. She practically didn't even defend him when he was in that state that bastard had put him through. Both of them shuttered at that, still remembering what they saw that killed them looked like nothing each of them had ever seen before.
"Onee-chan," A voice called out from behind
Moka turn and looked down a bit to see Kokoa standing just a few feet away with her arms cross over her chest like usual. On her shoulder was the familiar looking bat that was now licking its wing, Kumiko looked over towards her aunt and giggled at the bat. She let go of the small butterfly that was in her hands and walked over towards Kokoa who smiled at the little girl. Looking towards her servant, she nodded and the small bat flared its wings and glided a bit into Kumiko's arms.
"Hi there Ko-chan," Kumiko greeted with a smile, "I haven't seen you in so long" The only answer she received from the small bat was it smiling at her.
Kokoa smiled at her niece before turning back towards her sister. "Onee-chan," She called out
Moka who was smiling at the little girl turn to look at her sister with a confused look on her face when she saw the serious look on her sisters face. "What is it Kokoa?" She asked
An annoyed look flashed over Kokoa's face for a brief second. "Where's mister Vizard at?" She asked, "I thought you told me he was supposed to take care of Kumiko today?"
Moka's eyes widen a bit before a sad frown found its way on her face, her hands were both clenched at her sides a bit. Kokoa and the others took notice of this and each of them got angry at seeing the sad frown on Moka's face. They just knew that something had to happen between the two for Moka to be looking like this, he had to do her something to her and each of them didn't like it. Kokoa was gritted her teeth in anger at thinking about, she was getting pissed off at that bastard at every time she saw her sister she had a sad look on her face.
"What did that bastard do this time?" Kokoa spat in anger, "Did he hurt you or Kumiko?"
Moka's eyes widen in shock at that, "NO! He didn't hurt me or Kumiko." She said
Mizore took a hold of her lollipop and stared at her friend. "He must have did something to have you looking like that Moka," She said placing the lollipop back in her mouth
"He didn't do me or Kumiko anything," Moka protested
Kurumu snorted and cross her arms over her chest. "He had to do something Moka for you to be looking like that," She said
Moka sighed a bit, "Again he didn't do anything to me. If it's anyone's fault it's mine and no one else."
The others looked at her in confusion, what could she have done to make it her fault? None of them would even think that Moka would be able to do anything actually so it was a surprise to hear her say it.
"What do you mean Moka-chan?" Tsukune asked stepping towards her.
"This morning Ichi-kun came to my dorm room to come pick up Kumiko." She explained not noticing the sad look that cross over Tsukune's eyes. "He asked me question on how Fairy Tale had known about Kumiko and after that I started to ask him questions on personal things and it turn into an argument."
Kurumu smirked a bit, "So you finally managed up the courage to tell that bastard off about the things about what he has done to you."
"No,"
Again they looked at her in confusion, "What do you mean by that Moka-chan?" Yukari asked. "Then if that wasn't it then why were you to arguing about?"
Moka fidget a bit, not wanting to tell any of them the real reason onto why she and Ichigo were arguing with each other and what it lead to. She didn't know how any of them would act to her, and she didn't feel like them looking at her with a disgust look on their faces. She looked over towards Tsukune and a sad look cross over her face; she also didn't want to see the heart broken look on his face. She might have admitted her feeling on still being in love with Ichigo but that still didn't mean she didn't care about Tsukune.
Moka was about to tell each of them a lie, but a sudden familiar scream caused her eyes to widen in fear. Turning quickly around to where she had left Kumiko, her fearful look became even more performed when she didn't see the little girl anywhere. How could she have lost sight of her so fast? She was just right there next to her a moment ago. She looked around in worry trying to locate her daughter and where she was; she suddenly heard a familiar laugher and looked up towards where it came from. Her eyes narrowed in anger at seeing a familiar sight of a woman that she thought she was rid of last year.
Standing just a couple of feet away from her was a beautiful woman that had a smirk adoring her face. She was dressed in a tube tank top, slim jeans, pumps, a golden necklace and a long white trench coat which had paint stain on it. On top of her head was a black bandana that was covering her hair from view, and only had a few strands of her long hair that fell over her shoulders and towards her breast. In her hands and seemly knocked out was Kumiko and Ko-chan was on her shoulder also knocked out.
"You," Moka hissed out in anger. "What are you doing back here Hitomi Ishigami?"
Hearing that name, Tsukune and the others also narrowed their eyes an instantly was on guard. This was the same woman that had caused them so much trouble last year and almost got Tsukune kill from telling the Student Police Committee about his human nature. She was also the same reason onto why at the end of the year Tsukune's cousin had obtain Lilith's Mirror and caused the school to go into chaos. Moka's eyes narrowed in further and she growled at seeing her daughter in that woman's hands.
"I'm warning you," Moka growled out surprising her friends around her. "Let go of my daughter or you're going to regret it dearly."
Tsukune and the others looked at her in shock, never hearing her actually threating anyone since they knew her. Kokoa also looked at her in shock, never thinking the wimpy personality of her sister would ever say something like that to anyone before. She smirked a bit, maybe she wasn't as wimpy as she thought she was.
Hitomi laughed a bit, "So the rumors of you having a child are true Moka Akashiya." She grin darkly, "Who would have known you would be such a bitch."
Moka growled at that, "The only one that is one is you!" She snapped in anger. "Now let go of my daughter now you bitch!"
Hitomi was about to say something else but Moka seem to have enough of the woman's hands around her little girl. She blurred forward faster than anyone of them had ever seen her move before and reappeared directly above Hitomi. The said woman looked up in shock at seeing Moka above her already striking down with a devastating axe kick that shattered the ground on contact. The other covered their eyes a bit as smoke and debris kick up from Moka's attack, each of them surprise at seeing the kind, more weaker being able to do something like that. They knew she had incredible strength from being a vampire but they had never actually seen her attack anyone before.
'What's wrong with you Moka-chan?' Tsukune thought to himself. 'I never seen you act like this before, are you acting like this because of your daughters in danger?'
The smoke clear to show that Moka was crouched and the ground where her axe kick had connected was shattered and a small crater was where she was at. The said pink haired vampire eyes were narrowed as she cursed herself for missed making contact with her. She thought with her newly required strength that she would be able to catch Hitomi off guard but she seems to be able to react and evade her kick. She heard laugher and looked toward the forest to see Hitomi standing there still with Kumiko in her hands.
"If you want you bastard of a child," Hitomi said with a smirk. "Then come get her before she ends up dead." She laughed before rushing into the forest.
Moka's eyes widen in fear and she quickly chase after Hitomi as fast as she could, not even hearing Tsukune and the others to stop. She couldn't let anything happen to Kumiko while she was so close to her, she wouldn't for give herself if anything happen to her. She continue running through the forest, taking note of the thick fog that started to form around her making it harder for her to see anything in front of her face. It didn't bother her, the only thing she was focus on her now his getting Kumiko back and making that woman pay for kidnapping her.
"Moka-chan wait up!" Tsukune called from behind her
The pinked haired vampire didn't bother to listen to him; she was too wrapped up into saving her daughter to even take the time to look behind her. Moving aside one more tree branch, she entered a meadow that was cleared of trees and any other objects. The air was filled with mist, making it harder for her to see in front of her face and what was in front of her. Hearing tree branches move, she quickly turn around to see that Tsukune and the other entering the meadow behind her.
"Guys," She acknowledged still trying to locate where her daughter could be
"Moka," Kurumu called out to her. "What the heck happen to you back there?"
Moka looked at her confused, "What are you talking about?"
"You know what I'm talking about Moka," Kurumu said. "You have never entered a fight without taking the Rosario from around your neck. There was no possible way you should have been able to do what you did back there."
Moka sighed a bit, "You remember that transformation I went through."
The others instantly looked at her with all their focus, each remembers the fierce some transformation the girl had took. Each remembering the blood red eyes and pale skin, if she was talking about that something must be wrong.
"I remember it," Mizore spoke up. "But what does it have to do with what happen back there?"
"Everything actually," Moka said. "It seems to have given me an increase in strength and what you witness back there speed as well."
Kokoa narrowed her eyes at that, she clenched her fist and furrowed her eyebrows. She had to somehow get a hold of that transformation so she would be able to become stronger. Then maybe she might be able to beat that bastard and finally defeat her Onee-sama. Suddenly laugher filled the air and they all tensed up, looking ahead of them to see Hitomi standing there with a smirk on her face. Moka's eyes narrowed once she saw no Kumiko within her arms, she looked around but again found no trace of her daughter anywhere
"So all the members of the Newspaper club have finally shown up," She said with a sneer
"Where is my daughter?" Moka asked in anger
Hitomi smirked, "You don't have to worry about your little bastard child vampire." She said, her voice taunting. "Your daughter is un harmed for now."
"What are you talking about?" Kokoa asked in anger, "Let go of my niece now you filthy bitch."
Hitomi glared at her, "We need the little girl for a game we're going to play." She told them
'What does she mean us?' Moka thought in wonder. Her eyes suddenly widen when she felt a presence came from behind them, 'Oh no'
She only had enough time to turn around before web shot out and wrapped around Tsukune and the others. She gasped and tried to reach for them but they were slung up quickly and hanging upside down from a tree. Tsukune and the others struggled to break free, both Kurumu and Mizore trying to transform but suddenly gasped when they found out they couldn't. Suddenly a familiar chuckle was head and Moka turn around and narrowed her eyes.
The mist cleared a bit to reveal a long purple haired girl who had her arms crossed over her chest. Her black eyes were small and narrowed into slits as she stared at Moka with a cheesy smirk on her face. "I hope you remember me vampire," She spat out in disgust
Moka's eyes widen, "You! I thought you were expelled from school." She asked, "What are you doing here?"
Keito sneer, "I was expelled from this damn school after you and your friend managed to defeat Kuyou somehow." She explained, "I was angered by being defeated by you and wanted revenge for what you did to me and the Police Committee."
"I had every right to do what I did," Moka said. "Your Police Committee was nothing but a bunch of thugs who wanted nothing but to rule over this school."
"WE WERE PROTECTING THIS SCHOOL!" Keito snapped in rage. "You and your damn friends just could not follow are rules."
"Those weren't rules," Moka clenched her fist and narrowed her eyes. "They were more like rules so you all can get over on other students."
"YOU NO-"
"That's enough Keito," Hitomi said cutting the angry purple haired girl off. "There is no reason in explaining what you and your group went through to protecting this school. She would never understand it no matter how many times you tell her."
Moka narrowed her eyes, "How did you manage to escape prison Hitomi?" She asked
Hitomi grinned before a chuckled passed through her lips. "You can thank Keito for my escape from that damn prison the Headmaster put me in." She said with a sneer
"Why are you two here and what do you want with my daughter?" Moka asked
"We won't absolutely nothing with your bastard daughter," Keito said receiving a growl from Moka. "We only kidnapped the little bitch so we could bring you and your friends here."
Moka tensed up, something was wrong here and she knew it from the dark looks each of them was throwing her way. Why would they go to so much degree and kidnap her daughter just to make sure she was here. She looked behind Hitomi and narrowed her eyes once she saw Kumiko wrapped in web and hanging from a tree branch. She had to find some way to get away from these two and get a hold of Kumiko and also get a hold of Tsukune so he would be able to release the Rosario.
That was another thing she was worried about, what if Tsukune wasn't able to remove the Rosario? Just early this morning she almost had complete sex with Ichigo. Suddenly a blush covered her face a bit, she just remembered that they had almost did it while Kumiko was only a few feet away from them in the room. She sighed a bit, she was just going to have to find out once she tried and hoped for the best. But in the back of her mind, she hoped and prayed that Ichigo would show up and help her with this.
"Why are you two doing this?" She asked them
Both women chuckled darkly at her causing Moka to tense up even further. She watched as Hitomi removed her bandana from the stop of her head, revealing her snake like hair that flared up and hissed at her. Mottled lines from under her now silted snake like eyes, and long fangs were now visible from that laid upon her bottom lip. She felt youki flare behind her and she quickly jumped away and looked on as Keito also began to transform. The jacket she was currently wearing was torn apart as six spider legs burst out from her torso.
'This is bad," Moka thought looking on as the girl before her completed her transformation into a large spider. 'I was a bit confident with my new strength that I would be able to take one of them out by myself. Now with both of them here and transform I don't know if I will be able to survive without my Rosario being removed.'
Her transformation was complete; she held her head back and laughed darkly. "You ask why we are doing this. Isn't it completely obvious onto why we would want you and your friends dead? We're here to destroy you all for what you did to us last year." Keito explained and flared her fangs which where dripping with venom
"None of you will be leaving this place alive," Hitomi said darkly. Her snake hair flaring behind her in waves and hissing at Moka, "We're going to make sure you all die here for the humiliation you all caused us."
Keito blurred forward and strike towards a surprise looking Moka who only had enough time to roll out of the way before she was crushed. The pink haired vampire jumped to her feet and looked where she was last time and narrowed her eyes once she saw no Keito standing there. The only thing that was there no was a small crater where the Spiderwoman's hands had struck. She looked around using the bit of youki detection she had to spot either Keito or Hitomi who had also disappeared.
"Your too slow vampire," A voice said from behind her
Moka's eyes widen and she quickly jump forward but wasn't fast enough as claws tore through her jacket and clawed four jagged marks down her back. A scream passed through her lips and she fell to the ground in pain, notice her pain Tsukune and the others began to struggle to break free from there prisons. Moka shakily picked herself up from the ground and glared forward, finding not one of her enemies. This was bad and she knew it, they were using the mist as cover to attack her from any direction where she could see them. She winced in pain; she could feel blood dripping from her back and onto the ground below her.
"Kukuku," Keito voice chuckled from the mist around her. "This will be too easy to kill you since you can't transform with the human boy not being able to remove the Rosario from around your neck."
"Don't think it will be too easy," Moka said through clench teeth
"Stop kidding yourself," Moka had no time to react and she found herself being slammed right on her already damage back. Another scream of pain tore through her lips, but this one was much worse than the previous one since her back was already damage. Moka looked up a bit shakily to see Hitomi standing over her with a smirk on her face.
"You truly believe that you will be able to beat both of us without transforming?" Hitomi laughed. "Don't kid yourself bitch! You are far too weak to be able to do anything to us in this more weak form you're in." She began to throw Moka into a tree but was surprise when she felt that she couldn't at all.
She looked down to see that Moka had a firm grip on her arm and her long pink hair was covering her face from view. Moka looked up with a dark look in her emerald eyes, she tighten her grip on Hitomi's arm and caused the former art teacher to wince in pain. Picking herself up from the ground, Moka twisted her body and screamed in rage before she through the gorgon towards a tree. Hitomi's body slammed straight into it, cracking it instantly on contact and slamming into a second tree that was right behind it. Hitomi's body fell to the ground and laid across the tree, she cursed her arrogance and looked up just in time as a kick slammed across her face.
This time it was her turn to scream in pain as she was launched into another tree that was close by the other one her body was met with. She looked up through pain to see Moka rushing towards her with an enrage look on her face, she only had enough time to move out of the way as another one of Moka's kicks slammed into the ground. Flipping onto her feet, she observed Moka with creditable eyes; she looked on as Moka turn her murderous gaze towards her. Hitomi was a little confused; she had never seen the girl before being able to fight like this. She may have great strength like all vampires but she was clumsy and wasn't useful when it came to a battle.
'This girl as change a lot since last year,' the gorgon said to herself. 'This girl was never this strong or fast before last year. Something must have happen to her since the last time I was here.' She tensed up when Moka grabbed a whole of the broken tree.
Moka's eyes narrowed even further and with a grunt, she lifted the tree and swung it towards a surprise looking Hitomi. The gorgon had no time to react and the tree slammed right on her left side, Hitomi screamed in pain as her body was flung across the meadow and landing in the middle. Moka was breathing heavily as she dropped the tree to the ground, picking that thing up and swinging it took all her strength to do and she was lucky she was able to pick it up. She smiled a bit to herself at her accomplishment at beating someone without the help of her inner self. She began to walk forward but stopped once something suddenly attached to her ankle.
Looking down she gasped once she saw web, she had no time to react as she suddenly found her body being flung towards the bark of a tree. She cried out a bit and stumbled forward and fell to the ground in pain, tears were beginning to gather in her eyes as the pain from her back increase. Looking up, she saw Keito standing where Hitomi's unconscious body landed with a dark smirk on her face. Not wanting to be an open target for any attacks, Moka shakily picked herself up from the ground and glared at the Spiderwoman.
"Kukuku," Keito chuckled. "I'm very surprise to see that while you're in your weaker and more pathetic form that you're able to even throw a punch or kick like that."
Moka smirked a bit, "I'm full of surprises when my friends and especially my daughter is in danger."
"You being able to fight back like this weren't what we thought you were capable of in this form." Keito informed, "We thought if you separate you from the human that you would be easy picking for us to kill."
"Too bad for you and Hitomi huh?" Moka said breathing heavily with sweat dripping down from her face.
Noticing this Keito smirked darkly, "Looks like you want be able to last very long the way your barley able to stand on your feet."
"Worry about yourself," Moka replied. "I have enough energy left to knock you out like I did her" She knew that was a completely lie, she was barely able to keep her feet holding herself up. The only thing that was keeping her up was the drive to save her daughter and make sure she's safe. She had to come up with some way to be able to knock her out or mange to cut her friends down and Kumiko from that web.
Suddenly Keito brushed into laughter, confusing Moka and causing her to tense up if she suddenly goes on the attack. "Don't get to full of yourself just because you were able to beat a clone," She said
Moka narrowed her eyes, "What do you mean a clone?"
Keito grinned and Moka looked at the suppose body of an unconscious Hitomi to see the body start to bubble. The bubbles grew until it burst into what looked like... web? Moka's eyes widen in alarm and looked at Keito to see her grinning darkly at her. Suddenly a youki flared behind her, Moka widen her eyes and turn her head just in time as the worst pain she had every felt shoot through her stomach. Looking down, she saw that a claw hand sticking out from her stomach and covered in her own blood. She turns shakily and came face to face with Hitomi who was smirking darkly at her.
"You have lost vampire," Hitomi announced darkly pulling her hand out of Moka's stomach. The vampire only had enough time to curse herself before she fell to the ground in pain. Tsukune and the others watched in horror as Moka's battered body fell to the ground.
On top of the Academy...
On top of the Academy dress in a fully repaired shihakusho and his legs crossed with one another; ruby eyes snapped open. Ichigo growled and shifted his gaze towards the forest where he could feel reiatsu flaring wildly. After he had left Moka's dorm room he had brought himself up here so he could try to clear his mind. What he had almost done with Moka was unforgiveable! He shouldn't have let his Hollow take control of him like that in the first place to lead to that.
But if what is Hollow said was true about that he only took over for an instant, then everything that happen after was his entire fault and no one else. Ichigo grabbed his head in anger, what the fuck was wrong with him to make him do something like that? He hated that bitch for what she did to him four years ago! Trusting what her father said about him and not him just fueled his anger even more. But why did he do it? What cross over his mind when he started to run his hands across her body? Did memories of so long ago when the two of them were happy filled his mind or that he just wanted to do it?
Ichigo shook his head furiously, "No!" He denies growling. "I do not feel anything for her anymore! All those feelings I did have for her are replace with nothing but hate."
"Stop kidding yourself so much King!" His Hollow suddenly snapped within his mind. "You know deep down within you that you still hold deep feeling for the Vampire Queen."
'NO I DO NOT!' Ichigo roared within his mind. 'I will not let myself fall for her again! I will never have feeling for the traitorous bitch!'
"How did she betray you King?" His Hollow snapped, "She told you the real reason onto why she had to do what she did four years ago. The one you should be mad at his that bastard of a father she has!"
Ichigo shook his head, he was not going to listen to his Hollow or believe nothing Moka had told him. What reason did Issa have at threatening Kumiko? He might hate him and he damn sure hate him with everything he is but he didn't think any man who as a child of his own would go that low. Also if what Moka said did have some truth in it, why didn't she try to escape from them and come back for him? Why didn't she at least try to find him and see if he was okay? The reason is because she didn't give a damn about him in the first place!
"Stop telling you're self that Ichigo," An age and wise voice said from within his mind
Ichigo's eyes widen a bit, instantly knowing who that voice was for. 'Zangetsu-san?'
From within his mind, the powerful zanpakuto spirit nodded his head. "It is me Ichigo"
'What do you want to say to me Zangetsu-san?' Ichigo asked. 'Do you also believe what my Hollow is saying to me?' Zangetsu didn't hesitate to nod his head which cause anger to rile up in Ichigo's body. 'Why? I thought you of all people would believe in me with this.'
"I do believe in you Ichigo," Zangetsu said with a firm voice. "But this is something I cannot follow you with."
'Why?' Ichigo asked angrily. 'Do you seriously believe what that bitch was saying?'
Zangetsu nodded, "The first time you arrived here Ichigo and you made contact with her I have been able to tell she has been telling you nothing but the truth." He said, "Just like you I have the ability to search someone's feeling the moment we cross with them no matter if it's with a zanpakuto or physical contact."
Ichigo wanted to deny it so badly, he wanted to scream at Zangetsu and tell him that it was saying nothing but lies. But even if he did he knew it was nothing but the truth, he had gained that same ability from Zangetsu so he knew he wasn't lying to him. But it didn't matter! He just couldn't let himself have feeling for her like he did four years ago. He made that mistake because he saw a kind girl who was in need of help and needed a friend, but all that was just a trick just to lure someone in to cause them pain. He made a mistake and fell for it, this time he would make sure he want fall for her no matter what it takes.
"I really thought since the first time we fought King that you had got over these stupidly of denying things that were right in front of you." His Hollow said through anger
Ichigo was confused and he growled, "I'm not denying anything you bastard! I know deep down I'm not in love with that bitch!'
Ichigo suddenly heard a growl and the next thing he knew he was suddenly pulled into his inner world. Open his eyes, he looked around to see the familiar sight of skyscrapers but much was different from the last time he was here. The sky was covered in storms, lightning was flashing across the sky along with heavy rain falling onto the ground and onto him where he stood. Shifting his gaze upward, he looked to see his Hollow standing there dress in his bankai shihakusho along with the familiar sight of the horn Hollow mask on his face.
Lifting the mask from across his face, Hollow Ichigo glared at his King. "I guess I was wrong King," He muttered. "You are nothing but a dumbass!"
Ichigo growled, "What the hell are you talking about? Nothing's wrong with me!"
"Oh, nothing's wrong with you heh King?" Hollow Ichigo said sarcastically, "Then tell me why are you keep deny what you truly want."
"I DON'T WANT ANYTHING FROM THAT BITCH!" Ichigo snapped in rage. "All I want is my revenge from the ones that took everything from me!"
"Tsk," Ichigo watched tense as his Hollow raised his right arm by his side. A second later the familiar sight of a white Tensa Zangetsu appeared in his hands. He glared at Ichigo before spinning the blade on his finger. "You seriously are a dumbass aren't you King, maybe I should take over and make her my queen."
Ichigo growled in rage, there was no damn way he was letting take control of his body and doing anything with her. Ichigo reached behind his back to grabbed Zangetsu but blind once he didn't feel the elegant clever in his hands. Narrowing his eyes a bit, he turns just in time to see a regular katana fly into his hands. Looking up over towards the side, he saw Tensa Zangetsu glaring down upon him in disappointment for some reason he did not know of.
"What is the meaning of this Zangetsu-san?" Ichigo asked through clenched teeth
Tensa Zangetsu glared at him, "You are denying what you truly feel inside you Ichigo and the only way you seem to learn is by taking a beating from us." His light aqua eyes shifted towards Shiro, "Do what you mush with him Shiro and teach him what it truly means to protect."
Hollow Ichigo laughed darkly before he grabbed a whole of his black mask. "Don't have to worry about that Zangetsu; I'll try to get the dumb bastard back to his old ways a bit." He vanished and just like the last time the two fought, phased back into view right above Ichigo.
Red eyes glared into complete white, Ichigo grip onto the katana as hard as he could try to push Shrio back. But no matter how much he tried he couldn't seem to push back the fully charged hollow no matter how much he wanted to. Suddenly a kick was slammed into his side causing him to gag; his body was sent flying across the area and slamming into one of the skyscraper. The building crumbled and when the smoke cleared it showed Ichigo with the left side of his face covered in blood.
"Have I gotten through your head yet King?" Hollow Ichigo spoke, spinning Tensa Zangetsu in his hand. "Or do you still need more of a beating to get it through your head?"
Ichigo said nothing, the only responds he got from the orange haired shinigami was him roaring in rage before rushing towards him. Both counterparts slammed their blades together, one out of rage and pain while the other out of pleasure and anger. A distance away from them, light aqua eyes glared at both of them as they continue to do battle. He scoffed a bit before turning his gaze upward towards the darken sky which was flashing with lightning.
'I hope you do wise up before time runs out Ichigo,' Tensa Zangetsu thought. 'Because if you don't I think both your daughter and Moka will die.'
Outside world...
Pain, that's all Moka knew when her battered body fell to the ground. She had never felt pain like this before in her life, actually she had never felt pain like this before. Each time she had gotten in a fight with someone she took care of it by Tsukune unleashing the Rosario. This time it seem like that wouldn't be happening; Tsukune was still wrapped up in web and she was probably so close to death she had ever been before. She felt feet hitting the ground and a second later the footsteps stopped directly in front of her.
"Tsk," She Hitomi voice scoff in disgust. "I thought since you showed some fighting abilities that you would be able to fight better." She laughed before kicking Moka in the side
"AGGRRH," Moka shouted in pain
"But I guess I was wrong about you vampire," Hitomi continue. "You are nothing without being transformed." The former art teacher turns to her side to see Keito standing beside her with a dark glint in her eyes. "What is it that you need Keito?"
"I hope we're not finish with this vampire bitch?" Keito asked looking down on Moka with disgust in her eyes.
Hitomi chuckled darkly, "Not at all my dear." She grabbed Moka by the hair and picked her up, she looked Moka directly in the eyes smirking darkly. "We still have much more in store for you vampire."
Moka glared at her a bit before spitting in her face. "You two are nothing but monsters!"
Hitomi wipe the spit off her face before glaring at the pink haired vampire with rage in her eyes. She raised her left hand before striking Moka across the face, grazing her claws across her face creating three more marks on the left side of her face. Moka cried out in pain and her body flew to the ground, she didn't stay long before she found her body picked up again by her hair. Hitomi grinned darkly before she let go of Moka, the next thing the pink haired knew was a kick connecting straight with the wound on her stomach. Moka screamed in pain as her body was launched away before crashing into the ground a few feet away.
Standing up straight, Hitomi smirked darkly down upon the wounded vampire. "We're going to torture her for defeating us last year and then we're going to kill her and those worthless friends after."
Keito chuckled darkly, "I like the way you think Ms. Ishigami."
"I do out do myself sometimes"
Both transformed women walked forward but stopped once a blast of dark youki filled the air, turning around to where it came from. Both looked up towards Tsukune to see the boy struggling fiercely to break free from the webs that is body was wrapped up in. The looked on in surprise as Tsukune's eyes shifted to blood red and red youki was circling his body. Kurumu and the others paused in their own struggling and turn to look at Tsukune with fear in their eyes. Each one of the girls fearing for Tsukune's life as they watched the ghoul inside him starts to take over.
"What...?" Keito stuttered out in shock, "How does he have youki? I thought he was nothing but a human?"
Hitomi was also shocked at this discover, "I don't know Keito." She said shock clearly in her voice, "I thought for sure that he was completely human as well."
RIPPP
Keito and Hitomi's eyes widen as the web around Tsukune's body began to crack and brake apart. Hitomi watched on in fear as the web around Tsukune began to break apart as the boy began to struggle more and more to break free. Acting quickly, Keito inhale air into her lungs before she shot a long stream of web towards Tsukune who was caught off guard as the web wrapped him back up. He struggled to break free but he notice as the web seem to be more stronger than before and it also seem to be sucking his energy away.
"What?" Tsukune gasped out, "What's happening to me?" Suddenly he heard chuckled and looked down to see Keito chuckling darkly at him.
"Don't think you will be able to break out of this web so easily boy," Keito said with a dark smirk on her face. " I made this web just for the vampire over there if she was ever able to transform. This web had unique characteristics and composed of special materials that are used to seal youkai powers and youki. This web is also as strong as steal so you will not be able to break free from that no time soon until I allow it."
The fear from Hitomi's eyes vanished and she laughed. "You are full of surprises Keito," She applauded. "Now we don't have to worry about the vampires friends anymore."
Keito nodded, "I was a little surprise that the human had youki within him that powerful but even with that, he won't be able to break that web like the last."
Hitomi nodded and turn her gaze towards Moka who was struggling to pick herself up right on the ground. She chuckled darkly to herself; this moment was finally here within her grasped and only moments away. She was finally going to have her revenge on these little pests that ruin her last years because they couldn't understand her hurt. This time they won't be able to stop her this time; with Keito's web in act she will now be able to kill them now. But she still wasn't satisfied; she wanted Moka to suffer more for what she did to her.
She suddenly grinned darkly before shifting her gaze towards a wrapped up Kumiko. "So this little girl is your daughter?" She asked, "I wonder who the father of the little bastard is."
On the ground, Moka's eyes widen in fear as Hitomi began walking towards her daughter's direction. "Leave my daughter alone! She has nothing to do with your revenge on me!"
"Shut up vampire!" Keito snapped, "You have no say in what we do."
Looking up towards Kumiko with a dark smirk on her face, Hitomi ran her claw hand down the girls face. "Wake up little girl," She said softly
Kumiko slurred before her chocolate eyes open, she yawn cutely before she looked around in confusion. Looking around, her eyes widen in fear when she saw a woman she did not know right in her face. "Who are you?" She asked
Hitomi grinned, "What's wrong name little girl?"
Kumiko frown, "I don't think that's none of your business."
Hitomi growled a bit before shifting her gaze back towards Moka. "I see your daughter as a little bit of spunk just like you do." She then grinned darkly, "Let's see how much of that spunk will still be there with her mom being torture right in front of her."
The former art teacher nodded towards Keito who nodded and shifted her dark gaze towards Moka. Spitting out more web, two long strings attached to both of Moka's wrist before lifting the pink haired girl up to her feet. Moka glared at both of them and shifted her gaze towards Kumiko who was looking at her in fear. She smiled at her, telling her mentally not to worry herself and telling her that she's going to be okay. Kumiko shakily nods to her mother, understanding just a little to what she was saying.
Hitomi grinned darkly at the trapped Moka. "Let us began and teach your daughter a new mean and word."
Ichigo's inner world...
Ichigo curse himself as his body was rocket across the area before he slammed directly into multiple skyscrapers. Why was his own power betraying him and not following him like that usually did? Why were they so wrapped up in trying to make him have feelings for that woman? He couldn't understand it. He growled and grabbed a whole of a broken piece of rubble and picked himself him from the rubble and debris his body was sitting on. Hearing a familiar craze laugher, he looked upward and glared as his Hollow suddenly phased into view with a sonic boom.
"Are you still acting stupid King," The Hollow asked. "Or do I need to beat more sense into you before you get it through that thick skull of yours?"
Ichigo growled and used shunpo to phase right in front of his Hollow, striking down with all he had. Hollow Ichigo raised his blade almost lazily to black Ichigo's strike, they both stared into one another eyes. Ichigo glare darken and he phased out of view before appearing right back under Hollow Ichigo's guard. He swung but widens his eyes a bit as Shiro grabbed a hold of the blade and slamming a kick straight into his chest. The surprise kick sent him stumbling right back towards the broken rubble and debris.
"You are not going to get anywhere trying to beat me with your mind so clouded King." Hollow Ichigo said as he watched as his King reappeared from the smoke cloud. "You're still letting other things cloud your mind because you're too stupid to except the feelings you have for the Queen."
Ichigo growled in rage, "I do NOT have FEELINGS for that BITCH!" He snapped in rage
Hollow Ichigo scoffed in annoyance, "Keep telling you're self that then King."
"I'm not telling myself anything you freaking bastard!" Ichigo snapped, "I know for a fact that I don't have feeling for her."
"Okay let's say what you say is true," Hollow Ichigo replied sarcastically. "Then why did you save her the other day if you don't have some shred of feelings for her."
Ichigo's eyes widen before they shifted into a glare. "I only save her because it would hurt Kumiko if her mother was killed before her eyes."
Shrio laughed, "You come up with every possible way to deny what you truly feel King." He said, "What is the true reason behind why you don't want you're self to open up to her?"
"There is no reason you freaking bastard!" Ichigo shouted at him
"Does it have something to do with Rukia and Orihime being dead Ichigo?"
Ichigo's eyes widen and he shifted his gaze to see Tensa Zangetsu glaring down on him with his sword form clutched tightly in his hands. Ichigo eyes shifted towards a glare of rage and he roared before shooting towards his zanpakuto spirit. Tensa Zangetsu raised his sword just in time to block an overhead strike from his wielder; he looked up to stare into the glowing red eyes of Ichigo who was growling in rage. With a grunt, He push off and sent Ichigo skipping backwards away from him. Ichigo looked up and raised his sword just in time to block a strike from Tensa, the both glared at one another.
"How dare you bring them into this?" Ichigo growled out, "You have no right to say either Orihime or Rukia's name."
Tensa Zangetsu's glare harden as he stared into his wielders eyes, pushing more strength into his blade as he began to push him back. "And you have no right to say their names after the way you have been acting."
With a push of his arm, Ichigo was sent flying backwards across the sky away from Tensa. Grunting in anger, he looked up just in time to widen his eyes as a white hand grabbed a whole of his entire face. Hollow Ichigo laughed and slammed Ichigo directly into another skyscraper that collapse under his strength. He turns to his side just in time to see Tensa Zangetsu reappear at his side with a narrowed look in his eyes.
They both looked down just in time as a wave of blood red reiatsu shot from the debris and blowing it away. Ichigo reappeared showing that he was breathing heavily and scars were across his body, he glared at both of them before clutching the sword in his hands. Tensa Zangetsu's glare hardens before he used shunpo to appear right in front of Ichigo who continue to glare at him. An instant later Hollow Ichigo appeared and moved his horn mask to the side.
"You still don't get it do you King," Shrio said
"I don't NEED to get ANYTHING!" Ichigo snapped
"I'm disappointed in you Ichigo," Tensa said in anger. "I thought you of all people would learn how to look passed you hatred for a girl that has done nothing to you."
Ichigo's glare darkens at that, "How didn't she do anything?" He asked in rage. "She stood there and watches me be beating and took my daughter away from me. She didn't have no plans to look for me to even let me see how Kumiko was doing, so how the fuck hasn't she done nothing to me?"
"She has already told you the reason for what she had to do it," Hollow Ichigo said through annoyance. "You just don't won't to believe what she was saying because you think you will be betraying Rukia and Orihime don't you King?"
"Don't you dare bring them into this?" Ichigo growled out
"You have already brought them into this Ichigo," Tensa Zangetsu said. "You continue to blame yourself for what happen to Karakura Town when it wasn't you're fault."
"HOW WASN'T IT MY FAULT?" Ichigo shouted. "I could have stopped those bastards from killing them! I could have done something to save them or try to get them out of there before they were killed. But I did NOTHING! I let my need to protect everyone cloud my judgment on what I really need to do and it cost me EVERYTHING!"
Ichigo crumbled to the ground; no longer able to bare the weight he's been shouldering ever since everyone he cared about was killed. He could still remember the warning his father and Kisuke gave him before both of them were killed. He could still see himself not listening to them and foolishly heading into battle with his friends when he knew he should have escaped. The cries of pain before death, the sad looks they gave him before they died still ran through his mind. He suddenly heard something stab into the ground, he looked up to see a black Zangetsu in its shikai state and the old man standing right next to it.
"Stand up Ichigo," Old man Zangetsu order
Ichigo complied and stood, but his head was face down and he was staring directly at the ground below him. Seeing Ichigo in this pathetic state, Shrio growled before he slammed a punch across Ichigo face. The orange haired shinigami stumble a bit before he caught his footing, looking back towards his Hollow in shock. That shock slowly turns into annoyance as he slammed a punch across Shrio's face that caused him to stumble.
"What was that for you bastard?" Ichigo asked in annoyance
Hollow Ichigo smirked a bit, "I see a little bit of the old you is coming back." He said
Ichigo scoffed before turning his gaze back towards his zanpakuto spirit. "Now you see why it's my fault? I couldn't have gotten all my friends out but I was to foolish not to listen." He looked down again but felt a strong hand on his shoulder. He looked up to stare at Zangetsu
"Stop blaming yourself Ichigo, you had no way of knowing that your friends and family would die from Aizen's and Alexander's surprise attack. Neither Orihime nor Rukia would want to see you like this and none of your friends and comrades. Learn how to let go and get passed this hatred of yours." Zangetsu explained
"I can't!" Ichigo protested with a glare. "I won't give up on my revenge for those two bastards and who's ever following them."
"Who said you have to give up on it dumbass?"
Ichigo looked at his Hollow in confusion, "What are you saying?" He asked
Hollow Ichigo laughed and stepped closer, "Me and Zangetsu want you to get your revenge you dumbass. Just try to remember who you are and not transform into someone Aizen and Alexander wanted you to be."
Ichigo smirked, "It's kind of surprising that you of all people would be giving me advice on things like this."
The only answer he received from his Hollow was laugher
"Ichigo." Said boy turn to face Zangetsu, "You do not have to completely forgive Moka for what she did but learn to trust her again. Let Orihime and your friends soul rest in peace, me and your Hollow will always be with you. When you finally find Aizen and Alexander then we will give you our full power to stop those two once and for all."
"What he means is completely erases those bastards from this plain," Shrio cut in
Ichigo smirked and nodded, he reach for Zangetsu before pulling the sword from the ground and sheathing it behind his back. Giving Zangetsu and his Hollow one more look, he jumped of the building before vanishing in a flash of darkness. Opening his eyes, he found himself back on top of the academy roof looking over the forest. Searching for Moka and Kumiko's reiatsu levels, he narrowed his eyes once he felt Moka's being dangerously low.
"I'm coming you two," Ichigo swore grabbing onto Zangetsu and jumping into the air. This time instead of blood red reiatsu surrounding his body, it was the familiar light blue color. The reiatsu surrounded his entire body, creating a comet of blue energy that race towards the direction of where Moka and Kumiko were located.
'I'm sorry Orihime and Rukia," Ichigo thought. 'I'm sorry all of you for acting like a completely dumbass for a while. But I swear to you that I will kill Aizen and Alexander for what they did to you. I may not have forgiven you completely Moka but I will not let you die.'

End Chapter eight
Author Notes: I think I'm going to end up getting my ass kick ending it when it's about to get to the good parts. I'm sorry if this chapter is a little short from what I'm usually write but I wanted this one to reflect both Moka's battle and emotions to protect Kumiko like a mother and Ichigo coming to check with his emotions. I really hope it was good and that I did not disappoint any of you with this chapter. Thank you for all the support you all been giving me and see ya next chapter.
Questions
These are question some people may have asked me that I have not answered yet
Youkai Zanpakuto's: These are not what everyone think, the people that will show up in this fic with zanpkauto's will only be experiments that Aizen is testing. He has created a new Hoygkou and trying to see if this one will work like the previous one Kisuke made. They will only be a few so don't think I'm trying to overpower anyone.
Moka&Ichigo: In no way as Ichigo in love with Moka right now okay! I hope no one has gotten that in there head after this chapter. He may have come to terms with that he still cares for her after so long but he still hasn't completely forgiven her for what happen. So again I hope that this cancel out some of the questions you had going through your head after reading this. Also do not think for one second that Ichigo will start being nice to everyone because that will be a big no no. He will only be king to Moka and Kumiko and will only give be kind to Moka by gestures and not opening his mouth much to her.
Moka&Inner Moka: I do not think these two are entirely different beings; I just want each of them to have some thoughts of their own. I hope you get where I'm going with this and thank you for noticing this so I can explain it.
Other things: Moka and Kokoa other crazy ass family members will be entering the story but not too soon. I want things to build up so the fights and other things can be good so all you can enjoy it to your liking. Also Ichigo's spiritual pressure turning blue again all goes with his hatred and his blame for what happen to his friends; it will change colors when he gets angry and hid doubt for what he think he's done. But his eyes will remain the same for now because he still doubt and blames his self for what happen to all of his friends.
Again I hope this answer some of your questions and thank you for reading this. Also I hope you're not mad at me for cutting it off when it was getting to the real good part. Oh well, you're just going to have to wait until next chapter.
