Author Notes: Glad that everyone like the chapter! Was going to do something totally different with that but I thought that it was seriously needed to be finally done. I'm also going to do a few things that needed to be done with this chapter that I thought about for a couple of hours. I still know you all have a lot of questions about a lot of things and I'm going to try an answer everything I could. Hope you enjoy!
Spelling errors and Grammar: Really sorry about this, I think all these problems I've been having with this is my problem. When I sit down to write the next chapter and when I get typing, my mind be set on the things I want written and I be typing so fast that after I finish the chapter all I want to do is lay down for a couple of hours. When I posted the chapters I have completed, I forgot about rereading it to see any spelling or grammar errors. Well, I will this time reread over the chapter and try to see if I can fine any errors I have made. It doesn't mean that I'm going to fix every last one of them because I know that's not going to happen, but that doesn't mean I'm not going to try.
Alhazad2003: I'm going to try really hard to make this has civil as I can man because what you said in your last review pissed me off to know end. I been trying a lot to hold in my anger against you, taken in every negative thing you have to say and agreeing with you with no problem. But what the hell you said in your last review as shattered that little thread you were already on with me. For the last passed eleven chapters you have not had a single fucking nice thing to say about my work, I can take anonymous reviews without it bothering me at all. But when you called my work pitiful or me pitiful, you have just crossed the fucking line with me.
Frist: I don't know where the hell you get that I'm religious worshiping Ichigo, but that is not what I'm doing in this fic. Kurosaki Ichigo's whole resolve is about protecting his family and friends, I just made where if he had a child at a young age that his creed or whatever it is would increase tremendously. The flashbacks I think you're referring to me worshiping him are just the way I think he would act! I not worshipping him just because I'm writing a way I think he would act. Also, How the hell do you think Ichigo's a Gary Stus( Even though I do not know what the hell this is) only because I think you are referring to his power or his personality and the way he acts. If he's a Gary Stus then you must be talking about others like, Yusuke, Naruto, Kanima, Simon, and many more badass characters.
Second: About Ichigo being as human as Tsukune is saying that Son Goku is the weakest anime hero and Kratos is not in the top five most brutal anti-hero's I have ever saw. Ichigo is a half-breed of a shinigami (Isshin Kurosaki) and a human (Maskai Kurosaki) and now a Hollow as well. Ichigo is not considered just a human by any means! I don't know where you get that he's as human as Tsukune because that is dead wrong. Also if you're going to say that Ichigo's powers are not his but borrowed powers he obtains by Rukia, then I'm sorry to say that this is false as well. He did borrow powers from Rukia and use those power for the first fifteen episodes (Don't know how many in the manga), but Ichigo has his own shinigami powers proven by both Kisuke and Zangetsu who said it himself.
Third: In no way am I trying to bash your so call hero Aono Tsukune in no means, I'm just coming up with ways where I think he would have if Moka had another love interest before she met him. I also think you read the sentence and paragraphs wrong and you just took it way out of proportion. Tsukune has lost himself to the ghoul for a short while when he saw what was happening in front of him with Ichigo and Moka. I think (I might of forgot) that Inner Moka has already said that she would have to kill Tsukune if he every truly lost himself to the ghoul. I just boost it up a bit because she had Kumiko in her arms and was also protecting her if Tsukune went on a rampage towards her.
Fourth: I think you might just be mad at me because I made Ichigo beat the crap out of Tsukune or I may just be thinking that. But it is a known fact that Tsukune has no chance in a straight up fight against someone of Ichigo's caliber. In my opinion, I think Ichigo can walk into the Rosario+Vampire verse and practically rape anyone in it with just his Shikai or his Bankai, including Alucard and all Three Dark Lords and that's not even saying his Dangai state where he practically made a mountain cease to existence with just a casual swing of Tensa Zangetsu. I'm actually increasing the fighting power of everyone in the Rosario+Vampire world where Ichigo would at least have someone that could fight a little bit on par with him. Being for real, Ichigo could probably kick Tsukune's ass even in his human body, read Ichigo's wiki on Bleach with just his natural abilities and you'll see what the fuck I'm talking about.
Fifth: I've might have taken this the wrong way but there is by no means am I trying to disrespect the creator of the Rosario+Vampire Manga. You must have read it wrong but all I said was that I did not won't to follow the Manga through everything it is. I want to mix things up and come up with other thing that will help my fic the way I want it! I thought this is why Fanfiction was created in the first place. Also what the hell do you mean I have no respect? I show my respect by liking the Manga that I would take time out of my day to write something I like. I do like Rosario+Vampire! I just don't like some parts just like anyone else with others manga's out there.
The only things I don't like about the manga is that Tsukune has remained weak and as only grow a bit stronger because of borrowed blood. He has no desire to become stronger (might be wrong) and only as become strong enough so he could dodge an attack from Akua. You might think that I'm downplaying his character but I think I'm not! Just giving my points to what I think about him a bit. He as good resolve to protect Moka and all but that seems to be the only damn think he as! He's like a love sick damn puppet and that is the only two things I don't like about him. I have shown a great deal of respect towards the author of the Rosario+Vampire cause what he/she as made is damn good! Just don't like some parts like anyone else in this damn world man.
I can give you an example of a character who I think is very similar to Tsukune in some way and how the way the two act. Kenichi the Mightiest Disciple is who I think is very similar to one another in the beginning of both their Manga's. Let's face it, Kenichi was a damn wipe when I first saw the anime and read the manga, ran from every fight he was in an was scared of the most simplest things. But the bastard wanted to get stronger and over the course of only one month of training did him mange to beat a person that has been training for years. There's another one like Tsukune who wanted to become stronger in his manga name Shinichirou from Tenjho Tenge and he was human like Tsukune, but he became one of the strongest in his manga. Another one is my boy Takashi from High school of the Dead, he had no power at all and that bastard was still a badass to me through and through.
Six: I even gave you permission to write your own Prologue of Eclipse and write it anyway you wanted, but even with that you still have the fucking nerve to come give me negative reviews and call me or my work pitiful after that? Then you have you the nerve to say at the end of previous reviews that you can't wait until the next chapter? FUCK THAT! That's real fucked up man because I really worked hard on all this. Cut me some kind of slack!
Deeply sorry to all my readers if I left this long ass rant about Alhazad2003, I just needed to get this out of my mind that's all. If any of you that is reading this fic and have problems with it, then tell me the few problems you have and I promise I will try to fix it the best way I can. Again I'm sorry to all my readers and I promise I will make it up in this chapter that I think you're going to like. Also Alhazad2003, this might have hurt your feelings a bit but you took it too far when you said I was pitiful or my work. I take any forum of writing I do to the heart! So I take this personal when someone calls my work pitiful. That was just wrong man
Summary: Everyone he cared about was gone; all wipe out by two men's fear for him. He swore vengeance; not caring if the world itself was plunged into darkness. It didn't matter to him as long as he found those two that took everything away from him. A man appears, inviting him to a school name Yokai Academy as well as information on who he seeks. He takes this deal, and on his search he finds someone from his past. Dark Ichigo!
Hope you enjoy
Onto the Story
Eclipse
She couldn't let him die...
Since the two in half years Moka had been friends with Tsukune, he had been the only void that had been keeping her sane. Before Ichigo had even shown back up in her world, Tsukune had been the only thing on her mind. Tsukune wasn't strong like most people; he was mostly petite and had hardly any confidents in himself to do anything when she first met him. But over time and the longer he stayed a Yokai Academy; he had grown to become confident in himself and because of that she learns to become confident in herself as well.
He had mange to teach herself something that she had long forgotten, something that she was trying to keep locked away so she wouldn't feel the pain anymore. Tsukune had mange somehow to make her forget all the hate, sadness, regret and shame she had been keeping lock away in her heart for two years. He had taught her that humans weren't all heartless and a race of people that couldn't understand sometimes what was right in front of them. He was one of the few that were an example of that not all humans were heartless, that some were still out there that could show kindness to youkai.
Ichigo had taught her this same lesson as well, something that he showed her everyday every time he would look at her. But even though everything that happen that day four years ago was somewhat her fault, she couldn't help but feel angry at just not her parents but Ichigo as well. As she stood there and watched as the orange haired teen was beaten by her parents, she had pleaded with him to leave. But even through all her cries and pleads, Ichigo didn't listen to her; he kept getting up and walking towards her. Even though she could tell that he could barely walk and some of his bones in his body was broken, he still try to drag himself towards her and Kumiko.
Why couldn't he listen to her? Why couldn't he just stay down and not struggle and make her watch the scene before her that day. Moka couldn't help but hate him a bit because of that, even though she had no right to hate him after what her family had did to him. Those two long years she had suffered so much, most of the time she could no sleep because of that moment just kept replacing in her mind. But when she enters Yokai Academy and she met Tsukune, the brown haired teen had mange to erase all the guilt and many other emotions she had been dealing with away. That was one of the main reasons why she fell in love with him, and she couldn't allow herself to watch as he was killed before her eyes.
Inside the Rosario, Outer Moka winced as the entire thoughts race through her mind. Why couldn't she get the thought of Tsukune out of her mind? Why even though she had claim her love for Ichigo that she still somehow manage to still love Tsukune? Was it so wrong to have a small part of her heart that will always belong to him? Looking from within the Rosario she caught sight of Tsukune looking her directly in the eyes and smiled. Seeing him smiling at her like that caused shame to fill within her body, something that she was getting use to feeling every time she looked him directly in the eyes.
She couldn't let him die...
"Ura-chan!" Outer Moka called out from within the Rosario
Inner Moka who was staring at the scene before took a moment to look down at the Rosario in her hand in alarm. 'What is it Omote?' She asked
"You have to save Tsukune!" Outer Moka pleaded. "You can't let Ichigo kill him"
Inner Moka clenched her fist in anger at hearing her outer self-plead, but she couldn't help but feel the same way. She knew she couldn't let Tsukune die, the things he has done for her and the respect she held for him couldn't let him be killed before her eyes like this. She quickly put Kumiko down and gave the little girl the Rosario; she smiled as her before she turns around and glared at the scene before her. Using the last bit of youki she had left in her body, Moka sprinted forward as quickly as she could but even with all the speed she was using she knew she wasn't going to be able to stop it.
"STOP IT!" Inner Moka screamed
Ichigo's eyes widen at hearing Moka's scream and the yellow glow in his eyes vanished, but even with Moka's sudden scream that snapped Ichigo back to himself, there was no possible way she was going to stop the blast. The yellow sphere of reiatsu flared outward, causing a bright light to be emitted from where Ichigo and Tsukune were standing. The brown haired red eye teen looked up just in time as his upper part of his uniform was completely obliterated into pieces. Moka stopped and watched just in time as the sphere of reiatsu seem to go straight through Tsukune's chest and out of his back, flaring outward in separate lines of yellow rieatsu. A small shockwave tore through the room, blowing Tsukune straight into the opposite wall in a sickening crack.
Kurumu and he others stood with shock looks on their faces as Tsukune's body fell from the wall and onto his knees. Tsukune still had the same shocked look on his face, other than that nothing possibly seem to be wrong with him. Tears gathered at the base of Kurumu's eyes, relief at seeing the boy she loved constantly flashed in her eyes as she looked at him. Mizore and Yukari were feeling the same way as their friend as they looked at Tsukune, who didn't seem to receive any visible damage to his body whatsoever.
"Tsukune," Kurumu called out to him.
Tsukune didn't seem to listen to her; he didn't even acknowledge the fact that Kurumu was calling him. The only thing that was on his mind was that he somehow manages to stay alive, even though that blast hit him full on in the chest. Tsukune raised his trembling hands to his chest and felt for anyone that he was missing, and the only reason he didn't feel pain was the constant shock of somehow still being alive. But no matter how many times he ran his hands across his chest, there was no wound that he could feel or find. He suddenly stopped as a hand grabbed onto his left, he looked up to see a tear soak Kurumu smiling at him.
"... Kurumu-chan?" Tsukune stuttered out
"TSUKUNE-KUN!" Kurumu cried out in joy, throwing her arms across the boy neck. Tsukune's eyes widen in shock, but a second later a soft smile played on his lips.
"I'm okay Kurumu-chan," Tsukune said rubbing the girls back.
Kurumu raised her head and stared him directly in the eyes. "I... thought you were... dead," She chocked out through sobs
Tsukune chuckled a bit, "I'm not dead yet Kurumu-chan." He told her to ease her pain; he was a bit relieved that someone still cared for him. He looked over towards Moka to see the silver haired vampire staring at him; they looked at one another for a brief second before Moka turn her gaze away from him. The brown haired teen frown at that, still feeling the betrayal she did only just minutes before
Tsukune paused in his thought as two other hands fell on his shoulder, looking up he saw both Mizore and Yukari looking at him with relief in their eyes. He smiled at both of them, trying to calm both of them to tell them with any words that he was ok. He was glad to have all of them by his side; he didn't know what he would do at this current moment if he didn't have either of them by his side. Suddenly his eyes widen in intense pain, he cried out in pain and chocked out blood that dripped down Kurumu uniform. All three girls widen their eyes in alarm, dread filling through all their eyes as they looked at Tsukune.
Kurumu back up and bit, still looking at the brown haired teen in worry. "What's wrong Tsukune?" She asked him in worry
Tsukune did answer her; the pain in his body so suddenly caused everything around him to go blurry. He could barely see what was in front of him, every last one of his scenes were going out of control and he didn't know what was wrong. Another painful cry tore through his lips, but this time as the girls looked on, they knew what was ever happening to him was far worst then before. Each of them had no time to react as Tsukune's head slammed into the ground, his eyes still wide in pain as he looked on in the direction his head fell. Kurumu and the others eyes widen in shock and fear, each of them fearing the worst as they looked at the unmoving Tsukune.
"Tsukune-kun..." Yukari called out softly in fear. The small witch hands were clutched tightly at her chest as she looked at the unmoving Tsukune, the boy she had come to deeply care for since she met him last year.
Tsukune did move
'Please be ok! Please be ok!' Mizore repeated desperately in her mind, rushing towards the unmoving Tsukune. She picked the boy up and laid his head in her lap, but even with all that she was doing Tsukune still refuse to move any body parts to indicate that he was alive. Just seeing the boy she care for like this caused mix emotions to rush through her body, each emotion that she never wish to feel right now.
"Please no..." Yukari cried out in sorrow. Her face was covered in tears as she looked at Tsukune's form; there was no doubt that the boy was dead. "Tsukune-kun just can't be dead?" She cried out clutching her chest now
Kurumu just stood there, her long hair was covering her eyes from view and her fists were clenched tightly at her sides. "Why?" She said through cold fury. The others paused a bit in what they were doing and looked at the Succubus, each feeling the rising anger in the girl.
"Kurumu," Mizore called out to her friend. "We don't have time for you to go into another one of your angry fits." She told her, "We have to see what that bastard did to Tsukune." She couldn't tell what was wrong with Tsukune but she knew for a fact he wasn't dead. He still had a small rising of his chest; he was either knocked out or the shock from the pain he was feeling must have caused him not to be able to talk or move.
Kurumu turn her glare towards Mizore, "Just up stalker!" She snapped in angry. "You might be afraid to tell that bastard something but I'm not," She turn her glare right on Ichigo who wasn't moving from the spot where he was standing. "You're nothing but a god damn monster!"
"Shut you're damn mouth right now Succubus!" Inner Moka growled out, stepping in front of Ichigo and glaring at Kurumu
The sea blue haired Succubus glared at the sliver haired vampire. "I don't want to hear a damn word from someone who practically broke Tsukune's heart without a single glance at him."
Inner Moka's glare turns darker as she looked at Kurumu, "As I said before Succubus. I do not love Tsukune like you and the others do," She spoke coldly. "I hold respect for him but I do not love him."
Kurumu looked at her friend in disgust, never before thinking that the girl before her would be capable of doing something like this. She knew Inner Moka was a bit heartless, but she didn't think the girl would just completely shatter Tsukune's heart without even a single care for him. She looked over Moka's shoulder and glared murderous at Ichigo, the man that was the sole reason on why her friend was acting like this. Ever since he shown up at school there has been nothing but chaos and bitter relationships between them all, if he never showed up none of this would happen. He was the reason why Moka and Tsukune were like this! He was the reason why Tsukune was laying down on the ground almost dead.
Last year after one of the hardest fight they had ever been through, Tsukune had finally managed to confess his love for Moka. Kurumu herself remembered feeling betrayed, feeling that Tsukune should have been with her and not Moka who she thought at the time only wanted Tsukune for his blood. But as she continue to watch day by day as they acted together, she could help but feel ashamed of herself because of the way she thought about Moka. She could see that Moka truly care about Tsukune no matter how many times she tried to deny it, Kurumu could see it every time she looked at Moka looking at Tsukune with that kind smile on her face.
But him
Every little think those two had together change once he showed up back in Moka's life, throwing everything the group of friends new out of whack. Kurumu watched as Moka change, and the love she held for Tsukune started to decrease each day that bastard remained at this school. She watched as Moka deliberately without her way to make sure that bastard didn't lose his temper; trying with everything she had to recreate a love Kurumu herself though was dead. She could somehow understand that he did deserve to see his daughter, but other than that none of the things he has done so far gave him no right to do. What she couldn't understand the most was why Moka let him get away with all he has done? He almost killed her own father but she did nothing to him for it.
This wasn't her friend or the proud vampire she remembered, this person standing before her was someone who was broken and gave everything with problem to that monster. The Inner Moka she remembered was a proud vampire, and wouldn't help or take any crap from someone who has tried to kill her. The outer Moka she remembered was a kind person and help anyone she could no matter what he has done to her, maybe that right there was one of the problem that cause her to become like this. But even with Outer Moka keeping some of her old ways, she still wasn't the same kind and naive vampire Kurumu remembered was her somewhat rival to Tsukune's heart. She became a little cold towards others and latched out on Tsukune who she never did before; she also defends that bastard no matter what he did.
Kurumu turn her head in disgust, "You're not the same person I remembered." She spat coldly
"What did you say?" Inner Moka growled out
"I said you're not the same proud vampire you once were Moka," Kurumu replied cold looking Moka dead in the eyes. "You would never take any crap from anyone, no matter how much stronger they were to you." She then pointed towards Ichigo, "Then somehow that all changed when that bastard showed up back in your life."
"Stop putting Ichigo into every little angry rant you have!" Moka latched out. "He has nothing to do with 'why I have changed' as you say."
"And how is he not Moka?" Kurumu asked sarcastically. "You never use to act like this before he showed up here," The glare she was sending Ichigo's way turn even darker. "Since he showed up, you have change from the noble proud vampire we all knew," She pointed towards Moka in disgust. "To nothing but a lackey to a damn monster"
Moka was getting angrier by the second; each word that came out of Kurumu's mouth was fueling her anger. She was getting tired of every time something bad happens to Tsukune she wants to blame Ichigo for it. She couldn't lie and say that some of the things that as happen to Tsukune is Ichigo's fault, but what just happen just minutes ago was nothing but Tsukune's fault and no one else. Moka knew that Tsukune knew that he couldn't beat Ichigo, so what caused him to even want to attack him knowing he couldn't win? Ichigo seem to only react this time out of defense and nothing else. And Kurumu was trying nothing else but to turn this own Ichigo and make him look like the criminal, but she wasn't going to stand here and let that happen.
"Tsukune knows that he can't defeat Ichigo," Inner Moka stated coldly, looking Kurumu dead in the eyes. "He had no right to attack Ichigo, this time he can't blame no one but himself for his own pain."
"I only did it," Tsukune suddenly spoke up from where he was.
Kurumu gasped in shock before turning her gaze towards Tsukune. The said brown haired boy was picking himself up from the ground, gasping a little as the pain in his chest increase slightly as he moved. He suddenly felt an arm wrap under his and help him up to his feet; he looked to his left and smiled gratefully at Mizore who smiled back at him. He then turns his gaze towards Moka, the girl he loved no matter what she did to him. He didn't know why he still loved her; maybe he still was clingy onto the little happiness that both of them shared before Ichigo had showed up.
"I only did what I did Moka because I wanted to protect you," Tsukune finally spoke up. "Everything that as happen since he's shown up, I only did it to protect you."
Moka glared at him, "As I told you before that I do not need you're protecting." She told him, "I'm perfectly capable of handling myself. I do not need you protect me no matter what you try and say to me."
Tsukune looked at her in sadness, "I know you can handle yourself better than anyone I know." He told her with a sad chuckle, "But even the strongest people need protecting."
Moka couldn't say anything about that, she knew what he was saying was definitely true from experience. She knew that even if you're the strongest person in the world, which anyone would need protecting from something no matter how strong they were. She knew Tsukune was a good person and only wanted to help her through things, but she had someone else to help through those things. Moka had mess up with that with allow her parents to threaten her to follow them, but now that she had him back in her life she wasn't going to mess that up. Both she and Kumiko needed Ichigo in their lives, and that's something she knew she could never lie about.
"You're a good man Tsukune," Moka said softly, surprising all that was around her. Never would that thing the proud vampire Moka would ever say something like that to Tsukune or anyone. "But you're just not the good man that I need in my life."
'So that's it huh?' Tsukune thought sadly. He looked Moka dead in the eyes and saw no hesitation or nothing to tell him that nothing she said was true. But even with all the hope he wishes, he couldn't see a trace of lie on her. Everything Moka had told him was the truth, no matter how much it hurt him to believe what she said. The betrayal he was feeling was something he had never felt before in his life, he had never loved someone like Moka before and it hurt to see her want nothing to do with anymore in love.
"What about you're outer self Moka-san?" Tsukune asked the pain in his voice visible to all around him. "Does she feel the same way as you do about me?"
"Just like Ichigo said minutes ago Tsukune," Moka replied calmly. "She is me and I am her, we are both the same no matter how much a difference we are." She smiled a bit, "Mine, body, soul, and heart." She stepped back a bit which lead her straight into Ichigo's chest, "And each of them belongs to him no matter what happens between us."
Each word she spoke brought more pain into his heart, "I see," He said softly. "I'm sorry for coming in between you two then."
"You didn't come in between us Tsukune," Moka said. "Maybe if Ichigo never showed back up then maybe I would have come to love you but," She grabbed a hold of Ichigo's hand and squeezed. "I found the man that gave me the one thing that no one else gave me expect my mother when I was young. He was the first to show me what love to another person truly was, and even though I was young he gave me my daughter as well, something I cherish with all my heart."
Tsukune stayed silent for a moment, holding his head down and looking at the ground. Mizore and the others were looking at him in worry and sadness, feeling sorry for everything he was going through. Each of them thinking that someone like Tsukune didn't deserve this; he was just to kind to get his heart broken like it was nothing at all. Kurumu felt the hidden rage she was feeling refusing as she looked at Tsukune, no matter how much Moka tried to protect that monster, everything that is happening to Tsukune is that bastards fault. She looked at Moka and growled at her, not believing that the girl she once knew was this cruel
"That's it Moka!" The Succubus snapped in anger, "That bastard as changed you and I will not be friends with someone who follows a monster around like some damn pawn."
The others looked at Kurumu with shocked eyes, never thinking the girl would go as far as to say something like that. They knew she was angry at Moka and she had every right to be, but did she have to go as far as to say she didn't want to be friends with her? Mizore and Yukari didn't think what she was doing was right. Even though each of them were pissed that Moka would do something like this to Tsukune, they could tell that the sliver haired vampire was happy. Though they didn't like it one bit or Ichigo, but they would try to hold in their anger because Moka loved him. They couldn't control Moka on who she loved, no matter how much her loving that said person make the person they love hurt.
Inner Moka said nothing; the kind smile she was wearing was replaced with a cold glare that was directed towards Kurumu. She heard her outer self-gasped a Succubus claim, but she couldn't give a damn if she didn't want to be friends with her. Moka could go as far as to say that she was never friends with either of them to begin with, the only one that were friends with them were Omote. She on the other hand didn't call them friends, she held respect for them but they weren't something she was going to call her friends. If they didn't like that she loved Ichigo, and then they didn't belong as friends if all they were going to do was try and separate her and Ichigo.
"Good," She spat. "We were never friends to begin with you bitch."
Kurumu chuckled, "So I'm the bitch?" She continues to laugh before glaring at Moka. "I'm not the one that broke someone's heart that love her with everything he had." She scoffed before turning away, "So from what I'm currently seeing before me Moka. You're the only bitch I see here no matter how much you want to say I am."
Moka said, she wasn't going to allow herself to be baited into something like that. She turns around and began walking back towards Kumiko, who was looking at her with a sad look in her eyes for some reason. She pushed down the feelings she was currently having and smiled at Kumiko, telling the little girl that she was okay. Seeing her mother smiling at her, Kumiko couldn't help but smile back at her. Even though she knew her mother was very good at hiding her true emotions, she didn't want to say anything until her mother was ready to speak on her own.
"Moka"
The silver haired vampire paused at what she was doing and looked back to see Mizore staring at her with a serious look on her face. Moka scoffed, if she was going to tell her that she didn't want to be friends either then she was wasting her time, she had no more patients to deal with either of them anymore. "What do you want Mizore?"
The Yuki ona said nothing for a moment, only keeping her gaze locked with Moka's. A brief moment passed before a sigh passed through her lips, "Don't take anything Kurumu said to the heart." She finally spoke pointed towards Kurumu who only scoffed in anger. "She just made about what happen to Tsukune that's all, you're still are friend even though after today you might not want to be." With that, Mizore help Tsukune out of the classroom heading directly towards the doctor's office, quickly followed by a worried Yukari and Kurumu.
Even though she was still angry at what just happen, Moka couldn't help but smirk. 'At least one of them still have senses and not clouded by their love for Tsukune.' She always knew that Mizore was the most mature out of the group, even though sometimes she did not act like it.
"Moka"
Moka's eyes widen at she hear Ichigo's voice, she turn quickly towards him to see him looking at her with the same cold look in his eyes. She took a brief moment to look down at his right hand to see that bone like armor was gone, she sighed a bit in relief at that. Her eyes suddenly narrowed a bit at seeing how heavily Ichigo was breathing, he seem to be out of breath only with sweat falling from his forehead. "What is it Ichigo?"
"I never wanted to come in between you and you're friends," He told her truthfully. Moka's eyes widen hearing him say that, she looked into his eyes to see that he was telling nothing but the truth to her. Even though he still had the same rage and hatred in his eyes, she was glad that it wasn't directed towards her anymore. She smirked at him and kissed him briefly on the lips, a couple of seconds passed and she broke apart from him before looking him in the eyes.
"You did nothing wrong Ichigo," She told him. "I'm just glad that everything we've been through that you're finally come back to me."
Ichigo held his head down, his long bangs cover his eyes from Moka's view, but she could still see the small smile on his face. She still had much to do with Ichigo, trying to get him to think about anything else other than his revenge against those two. She would help him in his revenge, and maybe that would help him see that he's not along in this world like he thought he was. She wanted to help him with all she could, Moka wouldn't allow him to die just so he could get his revenge, that's something she refuse to happen no matter what.
"Kaa-san!" Kumiko called out knocking her out of her thoughts
Moka looked down at her daughter, "What is it Kumiko?" She asked. Kumiko yawn a bit, wiping her eyes to get the sleep out of them. Seeing this, Moka couldn't help but chuckle a bit. "You're sleepily aren't you princess?"
Kumiko only nodded to her in responds
Smiling, Moka straighten the small girl in her arms before grapping a whole of Ichigo's hand. The orange haired shinigami looked at her in confusion, wondering what she was doing all of a sudden. "What are you doing Moka?" He asked her
Moka sent a small glare his way, "I finally got you back." She told him, "I'm not letting you out of my sight so you're coming with me to my dorm room no matter if you like it or not."
For the first time in a long time, Ichigo could help but genuine laugh at the passiveness he could feel in Moka's voice.
3 weeks later
Moka never thought that everything her daughter had told her was truth, she wanted to deny everything she had said but no matter how much she wanted to she could not deny what she as witness. Those nightmares Ichigo supposed to have every night was nothing but the truth, since he's been staying at her dorm with her, she has seen the torment he's been going through every single night. He had woke up one night screaming in rage, his eye soaked with tears but that did not stop the unbelievable amount of hatred she seen in them. She had thought sleeping in the same bed would at least clam is nightmares down a bit, he did work but it only stopped them for a while before they resurface.
She didn't know how he could handle seeing his friends and family being killed before his eyes every night, something she knew she would never be able to handle. Moka knew she was strong and could probably handle most things that many couldn't handle at this school. But sometimes as she watched Ichigo sleep at night, she had this bad feeling at the pit of her stomach that he had face hell and came back from it. She wants to help him so badly from whatever that was causing him to relive his friends and family deaths, but she had no idea on how to help him. Moka had never dealt with anything like this before, watching the one you love living through his own torment was painful to her.
She remember after her mother's death, how she dream about that day every night, seeing her mother's loving smile before the very life left her eyes. Moka still could feel the helplessness as she stood there and watch her own mother die, the very woman that save her life and gave birth to her. Ichigo felt the same way as she did that day, only his was own a much greater scale then only one person like her. She remembered he had told her four years ago that his mother had died because of his own foolishness, saying if he would have never went out to save that girl then his mother would still be alive. Even though she remembered him being happy with her four years ago, she could still see the pain in his eyes as he smiled at her.
Ichigo hated failing anyone he held close, she knew this from experiences each time he would not make it in time to help her from those humans that always mess with her. When she didn't manage to block one of those blows from one of those humans, Ichigo had blamed himself repeatedly until she had to hit him to snap him out of his guilt. With him having the high regards to protecting anyone he holds dear to him, Moka thinks that it increase tremendously when his number of friends increase. All his rage and hatred for those two that wrong him was directed because of that, they killed everything he sought to protect with his life but failed. But Moka had an odd feeling that his rage and hatred just was directed at them, it was directed towards something else as well far closer to home.
Himself
Everything that happen to them he blames himself, she could tell every time she would look into his eyes. She remembers him saying that he could have killed them, but he had made a mistake a let them stay alive and that cost him everything. But Moka still couldn't understand why anyone would want to kill everyone he held dear, why would anyone hold so much rag and fear towards Ichigo that they would do something like that to him? Everything that she had concluded still wasn't making sense to her. Moka sighed and picked herself up from her bed, crossing her feet over the bed and placing them softly on the floor. She looked behind her to see that Ichigo wasn't there, she sighed to herself knowing where he was already.
Ichigo didn't even go to school anymore, he usually spends all his time now in the forest training or meditating. The only time she would really seem him now is when he came to pick her up with Kumiko, she didn't know why he did it but she wasn't going to complain about it either. Kumiko usually spent her time with her father when she was at school, but today Moka decided that she wasn't even going to go school. She was finally going to get the answers that she had been searching for about Ichigo since he had return back into her life, something that had been bother her for a long time now.
"That bastard Headmaster will answer my question," Moka spoke coldly. "He's the only one remotely alive on this planet that might know where Ichigo receive his powers from."
She glared forward and picked herself up from the bed, heading towards the bathroom to get her ready. She paused for a moment and looked at the Rosario that was sitting calmly on the desk; she hasn't put it on for about three weeks now. Her outer self and gave her time to spend with Ichigo and she was grateful for what she had did, but most of the time she had spent with Ichigo wasn't something she had plan. She mostly had to watch him sleep or try to calm him down when one of those nightmares he has wakes him up at night screaming in rage. But she didn't have time to be mad about any of that, she was just grateful that she got to spend a little time with him and not him always looking at her with hate in his eyes.
She quickly did everything she had to do to get ready before walking calmly out of the bathroom; her silver hair fell a bit over her eyes as she looked herself over. Quickly grabbing the Rosario and her keys, she locks the dorm room before heading towards her destination. She had much to do today; something's that she hoped Ichigo wouldn't find out about. If he did find out that she was going behind his back to find out where he obtain his powers, Moka knew he was be pissed at her for doing something like that. If he did find out about what she was doing, she was just going to have to deal with it when the time comes.
Moka's mine traced off towards her sister, wondering what the red haired vampire was doing at the moment. Kokoa had spent about a week in a hospital bed that was in the doctor's office, because she was a vampire the major of the wounds she had was healed up quickly. Moka had visited the girl almost every day after school had let out, even though most of the things that happen to Kokoa were her fault, she was still her sister and she had to visit her. After Kokoa was release from the doctor's office, the red haired vampire didn't talk as much as she used to. The arrogance that once filled her voice was no longer there, the only think Kokoa did now is spend most of her time in thought now.
After that beating Kokoa had taken, her thoughts and feelings about Ichigo must have changed drastically. Moka just hope a bit that her sister had learn a bit about what she did was wrong, she had no right to say what she did that day. She also had to deal with Kurumu and Tsukune, both who had stopped talking to her. It didn't bother her on bit that they stopped talking to her, Moka had made her choice to stay by Ichigo's side and if they didn't like then they weren't friends at all. But her outer self was one of the reason she had to deal with it, after she had gave her sometime to spend with Ichigo, she had stop talking to her all together.
Moka knew the reason why Omote had stop talking to her, and because of that reason she couldn't help but be mad at her. When she had confess everything she was holding in her heart for Ichigo that day, she felt the Omote was feeling the same way as she was. Every ounce of feeling both of them had felt that day was poured out, giving them all to Ichigo trying to make him understand that he still had family. But after Tsukune had lost control of the ghoul that was end him, Omote had change her whole out put on everything that had happen with Ichigo.
She still loved Tsukune; there was no doubt in her mind that was blocking that away from the truth. Inner Moka could feel it deeply within her own heart no matter how much she wanted to push it away, those feelings for Tsukune was still there. Those feelings were one of the main reasons on why she was a bit wary of putting the Rosario back on. If she needed to take it off again and Ichigo was the one to try and pull it off, she didn't know how to respond to him once he finds out that he couldn't pull it off. The things she had worked for would be shattered to pieces, and if Ichigo decided to leave this time there was noway she was going to be able to stop him.
"I'm sorry Ura-chan,"
Moka paused for a moment and looked down at the Rosario that was clutched tightly in her hands. "Don't worry about it Omote," She told her a bit coldly and began walking to the Headmaster's office.
Inside the Rosario, Outer Moka could help but wince at the coldness in her inner self voice. She was still angry at her for what she was feeling, but that was something that she could not stop no matter how much she wanted to. Tsukune had done so much for her since she had become friends with him, they had shared a lot of things together and she couldn't just throw all that away. She loved Ichigo, but she couldn't just throw everything she had shared with Tsukune away like that. But she had no choice but to! If she truly wanted a life with Ichigo and her daughter, she could not still be in love with another man.
"Onee-sama!" A familiar voice called out
Inner Moka stopped and turn around to see Kokoa rushing towards her with a smile on her face, the familiar bat was right by her side like usual. "What do you want Kokoa?"
Stopping close by her sister, Kokoa looked up at her while crossing her arms over her chest. "I was wondering where you're going." She said
"I have some business to take care of Kokoa," Moka told her while turning and continue her walk towards the Headmaster's office.
"What type of business you have to deal with that's making you head towards The Headmaster's office?" Kokoa asked
Moka was becoming annoyed at her sister's constant questions; this was one of the main reasons on why she always ended up kicking her into something. "What I'm doing is none of your business Kokoa," She told her coldly. "Don't you have class right now? Go to class and stop bothering me with your constant question."
Any other person would have listen to Moka's cold demands, but Kokoa was use of them more than anyone at this school. So her sister talking to her like that wasn't going to stop her from what she wanted, "You have school as well Onee-sama or have you forgotten?" Kokoa said
"I know I have school but I will not be going," Moka informed her. "I have some questions that need to be answered and the Headmaster is the only one I know right now that could answer them for me."
Kokoa looked at her sister in confusion, what kind of answer could the Headmaster have that her sister wanted so badly? She looked at her sister to see she had a determine looked on her face, something that's rarely seen from the noble vampire from even her family. Did the answer she wanted have something to do with that damn bastard? Just thinking about Ichigo brought a chill down her spine. She never thought that she would come to fear someone else other than her sister, but what he had did to her sent a chill through her bone every time she would think about him.
Since she had been release from the hospital, every last one of her thoughts had been nothing else but about him. She remembers everything she had said to him and the more she thought about it, the more she regretted it. Kokoa had no idea to know if what he had said about his family and friends being killed were truth or not, so she had no right to say any of the things she had told him. She was just so angry at him, he had taken her sister away from her, the only person that really showed her kindness other than her father, and sometimes he hardly did that.
When she uses to come over four years ago to spend time with Moka, it used to be some of the greatest moments of her life. When she was around her sister, she didn't really need to be a noble vampire and acted like she was above everyone. The only thing she had ever wanted from her sister was her acknowledgement, but when Moka had met Ichigo, all the time they had spent together suddenly decrease until they barley saw one another. All that anger Kokoa had felt was all directed towards Ichigo, she had blamed him for taking her sister away from her. So when she had found out the day her father was taking Moka away from Ichigo and killing him, she couldn't help but be happy that she would finally be able to get her sister back.
The more she thought about it, the more she couldn't help but be disgust with the way she acted back then. Ichigo had tried many times to even talk to her back then, but every time he would try she would just glare at him and walk away. Maybe if she had given him a change, maybe she would have found out the way he truly acted and why was the reason her Onee-sama fell in love with him. What did he have to draw her sister to him, Kokoa wanted to find out so bad what was it that drew her sister towards him. She could try and talk to him, but after what she had told him that day she was probably not getting anything out of him other than a hateful glare.
Kokoa couldn't blame anyone but herself for that; it was her own fault to constantly draw his anger towards her. Each time she was see him she would constantly try to press each one of his button, the same anger of him taking her sister away from him still pushing her. But as she thought back since the time he had arrived, Ichigo had not tried to search none of them out. He actually tried to avoid being around him, so everything that had happens she couldn't blame anyone but herself. He was already a ticking time bomb ready to explode on her, and she just pushed the last button to make him lose control.
'I can't blame anyone but myself for that,' Kokoa thought sighing to herself. 'Maybe if I just would have left him alone then nothing would have happen.'
For the last pass two weeks since Kokoa's was release from the doctor, she had been thinking long and hard about what happen that day. She was basically making him want to strike her, saying all those things she knew would set him off. But other than that, could she really go through what he did? Could she really stay sane after watching each and every last person she cares about killed? She winced at that, she knew for a fact that she wouldn't be able to stay sane after something like. She knew she was angry at him for believing that he was trying to take her sister, but why was she truly angry at him? What was the reason on why she was so angry at him that she wished he was killed that day? Kokoa shook her head at that, still not even remotely close to the answer she wanted.
Kokoa looked a Moka to see she had a determine look on her face, something that greatly surprise the young vampire. Whatever these answers she needed from the Headmaster seems to be of great importance to her, which causes Kokoa to be more than eager to know what they were. "Onee-"
"What are you thinking about Kokoa?" Moka asked cutting her sister off
Kokoa looked at the sliver haired vampire in surprise, wondering how she was thinking about anything. "What are you talking about Onee-sama?" She asked a bit nervous. "I'm not thinking about anything that important to bother you about it."
Moka looked at her sister with narrowed eyes; she knew the red haired vampire was lying the way her voice trembled a bit. "You can't lie to me Kokoa," She said. "You seem to be thinking about something for a long time now, ever since you've been out of hospital bed." Moka stopped walking and turn to face her sister fully, "Now you're going to tell me what's on your mind."
Kokoa gulped a bit at her sister's threat, fearing for the worst if she didn't answer her. She already knew she was on bad terms with Moka after all the things she had told Ichigo about his family, and she didn't want to do anything to set the sliver haired vampire off on her. But she didn't want to talk about what's been on her mind either; she still had a lot to think about and had to figure out most of it by herself. She didn't want to bother Moka with her problems; this was something that she had to deal with by herself. She had been seeing her sister around for a while now since leaving the hospital, and for the first time in a long time, her sister had been truly happy again. That was something she wasn't going to ruin with her having to deal with her problems, and it might cause something between Moka and Ichigo.
"Are you going to tell me or what Kokoa?" Moka asked coldly, "Or do I have to force it out of you?"
Kokoa sighed, "It's nothing Onee-sama." She answered, "Just something I have to deal with on my own."
Moka looked at her sister with narrowed eyes, "Does this 'something' that's own you're mine have to do with Ichigo?"
Kokoa froze and looked at her sister in shock, "It has nothing to do with him!" She snapped trying to cover up the truth.
"Don't lie to me Kokoa," Moka growled.
"I'm not lying!" Kokoa denied
Moka said nothing, the only thing she did was kept glaring at Kokoa who began to fidget after a couple of seconds. "Are you going to stand there and keep denying it or are you going to tell me the truth?"
'There's no use hiding it anymore,' Kokoa told herself, 'She's already knows I'm lying to her so I should just tell her and get it over with.' She looked at her sister with a sign of regret in her eyes, dreading the worst. "Everything that I have been thinking about as been about Kurosaki," She finally answered truthfully
Moka glared coldly at her sister, feeling the rage burning in her chest. She was getting tired of everyone having problems with Ichigo, she knew some of the things he did was wrong but most of the things he did do was because they kept pushing him. Kokoa was one of the main sources of Ichigo's rage, telling him that he was lying about his friends and family being killed was probably one of the worst things she could have done.
"Even after everything that happen that day," The sliver haired vampire growled out. "You're still going to try and push him aren't you? Don't you think he has had enough of your constant taunts Kokoa?"
Kokoa looked at her sister with widen eyes, "NO!" She shouted in denial. "None of those were the reason why I was thinking about him Onee-sama."
"Then what are the reasons?" Moka snapped crossing her arms over her chest. "Because I'm getting tired of both you and Kurumu with you anger problems with Ichigo."
Kokoa glared at Moka, "We have a reason for being angry at him Onee-sama." She remarked, "He practically almost killed both of us on several occasions."
"I'm not denying any of that Kokoa, but both you and Kurumu provoked everything that he did to you two." She explained, "He warned both of you but you throw that away and continued with your taunting."
A sad frown passed over Kokoa's face, "You're right about that Onee-sama." She said sadly, "But I had a good reason for what I did!"
"And what good reason was that?" Moka asked darkly, clenching her fist at her side. Her youki was beginning to gather around her body, along with her eyes glowing dimly. Those nights of Ichigo waking up in tears of rage were beginning to come back to her, making her far angrier then she wanted to. "Keep taunting man barley out of his teens who has lost everything he held dear? Taunting him even though you know him close to his breaking point?"
Kokoa back up a bit; not use to seeing her sister so angry before. "I..." She shuttered out, "Didn't mean any of it."
"You met every damn word you spoke to him!" Moka spat, "Don't try to deny it now since you finally seem to be regretting everything you did."
"I'm sorry," Kokoa said softly. It was taking all her pride just to say it, vampires were a race that were never taught to say sorry to anyone. But Kokoa couldn't deny that everything she had told Ichigo she was sorry for, even if it was going against everything she was ever taught.
Moka looked at her younger sister in a bit of shock, not thing that Kokoa of all people would apologies about anything she has done. Moka herself would die before she would apologies to anyone, but if she knows what she did was wrong did she had no problem with apology for what she did. But Kokoa on the other hand was like her, she was less mature and thought very highly of her being a vampire. Thinking that vampires were the most powerful and greatest race to every grace the earth, maybe that was truth at some point but after seeing Ichigo; Moka had seriously come to doubt all the things she was taught by her father.
"What happen to you Kokoa?" Moka suddenly asked
Kokoa looked at Moka in confusion, wondering where the sudden question came from. "What are you talking about Onee-sama?" She asked still confused. "Nothing as happen to me,"
"You know what I'm talking about Kokoa," Moka said. "What made you hate Ichigo so much after me and him started to see each other more than friends? You use to like being around Ichigo so what changed?"
That was something Kokoa knew she could deny no matter how much she wanted to. When she had first met Ichigo when she had come to visit her sister, she had thought of him as one of her hero's actually. He did things that she would never have thought of doing, and seeing him so it just made her awed at him. He was cocky and confident about himself; he also didn't take order from no one, even though some were far older than him. Vampires were taught to always teach to respect and listen to their elders, but that was something that Kurosaki did not do.
Even though she didn't like to admit it, Kokoa actually saw Ichigo as a adopted older brother that did everything that she wished she could do. But after Moka and Ichigo got together, she started to see less and less of both of them every time she came to visit until she didn't see either of them at all. All her respect and admiration she had for Kurosaki turn to bitterness until it got as far as hate; she directed all her anger towards him because she planted it in her mind that she thought he was trying to take her sister away from her. Now that she really thought about it, Kokoa could help but feel a bit angry at how stupid she was back then.
"I'm sorry Onee-sama," Kokoa said sadly. "I think all the hate I really thought I had for him was because I push it in my mind that I thought he was trying to take you away from me."
Hearing that, Moka could help but sighed at her sister. "He wasn't trying to take me away from you Kokoa," She said. "We were just spending as much time as we could together."
"BUT YOU FORGOT ABOUT ME!" Kokoa screamed suddenly
Moka stepped back and looked at her sister in shock. "... Kokoa," She spoke slowly in shock
Kokoa's head was down so her sister couldn't see her eyes, but Moka could clearly see that the girl was trembling. "Ever since that moment I found out about you too, I hardly got to see any of you anymore," She explained. "Every time I would come to play with either of you or try to train with you, you would send me away or you were somewhere with Ichigo." Kokoa finally looked up into Moka's eyes, and the sliver haired vampire was shocked to see tears in her eyes. "You stopped noticing me completely and I was just so angry that I took everything out on Ichigo, which I had no right to do."
'So that was the reason why she acted like that towards Ichigo,' Moka concluded. 'She was just angry at the both of us, and since she seems to not want to be angry at me, she took all the angry she was feeling and directed it towards Ichigo.'
Maybe why all Kokoa's anger towards Ichigo was some of her fault, if she probably would have spent more time with her sister probably none of this would have happen. Unlike her who had her mother for a little while to show her love, Kokoa really didn't have that granted to her like she did. Her mother Gyokuro really didn't come over that much to visit Kokoa, when she did come over she usually just greeted her and went to speak to their father. Their other two sisters were hardly there has well, so all they really had were each other. Their father was there as well, but even though Moka knew he loved them, he rarely every showed it much.
"If it still does mean anything to you Kokoa," Moka said staring at the girl before her. "I'm sorry for throwing you to the side and not seeing how you were truly feeling."
Kokoa said nothing at first, she quickly wipe the tears from her eyes before looking her sister in the eyes. "You don't have to apologies about anything Onee-sama," She said. "It was my fault that all this ended up like this, I let my anger get the best of me and I just took it out on him for no reason at all."
Moka looked at her sister a bit proud that she mature a bit, if this was a year ago then Kokoa wouldn't do anything like this. "I'm proud of you little sister," She said smiling a bit. "You seem to finally think about your mistakes instead of blaming everyone."
Kokoa blushed a bit, but smile either way. "Thanks Onee-sama!"
Moka nodded, "Come with me Kokoa." She turn around and continue on her way towards the Headmasters office, "It's time I finally found out what truly happen to Ichigo the four years since I haven't seen him."
Kokoa rushed forward a bit to stand by her sister's side, he familiar as always was resting on her shoulder ready for its master to use him. Moka narrowed her eyes as her thoughts trace back towards the Headmaster; ever since the first moment he had ever showed his face to her and the others she knew he had been hiding something. Since Ruby worked for him, she could try to get some answer out her to see what that bastard was planning, but even though she had a tiny dislike for the witch, she knew she was loyal to him. The only way she could get answers out of him is going directly to him to get them, and try to pull every answer she could get out of him. But that was another problem, Moka knew she was strong but that was no way she was stronger than one of the Three Dark Lords.
Moka scoffed if anger at that, 'How he became a Dark Lord is beyond me.' She thought angrily
"KAA-SAN!"
Both Moka and Kokoa's eyes widen at hear Kumiko's familiar voice behind them. Quickly turning around, they saw the little girl racing towards them with a panic look along with tears running down her face. Dread began to fill throughout Moka's body; she bent down on one knee and scoops her daughter in her arms. She quickly stood up and looked back towards the forest where Kumiko came out of to see if Ichigo was following, but to her undoing worry, Ichigo wasn't anywhere to be seen.
She quickly turns her gaze back towards her daughter, "Kumiko you need to calm down and tell me what are you doing here and were is you're father."
Kumiko chocked a bit, freshly new tears falling from her eyes. "You... got to help... Tou-san," She chocked out.
Moka's eyes widen in alarm, "What's wrong with your father?"
Kumiko stayed quite a bit, the fear still edge in her face. "Something's wrong with him Kaa-san,"
"What's wrong with him Kumiko?"Moka asked getting a bit frustrated, "I can't help your father if you don't tell mommy what's wrong."
"We went into the forest like we usually do every morning," Kumiko began to explain. "I was playing with... Aika-chan and Tou-san was sitting on the ground like he usually does." The sliver haired girl began to shake in fear, "Awhile later I heard Tou-san start to scream in pain. I tried to help him but he told me to get away and come to you," She looked up into her mother's eyes in fear and helpless. "I know he didn't want us to help, but you got to help Tou-san mommy!"
Moka said nothing, the only thing she did was quickly hand Kumiko over towards Kokoa. "I need you to watch over Kumiko while I go check on Ichigo," She practically orders
Kokoa eyes widen in alarm, "You're not telling me that you're going to go in that forest and try to help him are you?" She asked
Moka glared at her sister, thinking that everything she just told her a few minutes ago was nothing but a lie. "And why should I not try and go see what's wrong with him?" She growled out. "Are you telling me that you still hold a grudge for him?"
"I DO NOT!" Kokoa snapped a bit angry that her sister would believe her. "I just don't want you to rush in and get yourself killed."
Moka scoffed at that, "If I haven't said it over a thousand times Kokoa." She dashed into the forest at full speed, "Ichigo will not kill me no matter what."
Kokoa looked at her sister dash into the forest in frustration, not getting how her sister could fully trust Ichigo not to kill her. She might have gotten over the anger she held for him, but she could still see that he was still a bit unstable and could go up at any moment. She didn't want her sister or niece to be around that when he does, Kokoa refuse to see either of them get hurt because of that. She felt a sudden tug on her collar and looked down to see a worried looking Kumiko who was staring her directly in the eyes.
"Baba Kokoa," Kumiko said slowly. "Is mommy going to be able to stop Tou-san?"
Kokoa became alarm at that, eyes narrowing as she looked at her niece. "What do you mean by 'stop' Kumiko?"
The sliver haired girl trembled a bit, fearing a bit as her aunt glared at her. "I'm sorry Baba, I didn't want mommy to worry too much so i didn't tell her about it."
"ABOUT WHAT KUMIKO!" Kokoa snapped in irritation
Kumiko flinched back a bit, and Kokoa felt a bit ashamed a snapping at the girl like that. The small girl in her arms reminded her a lot about Moka and on how Ichigo use to act four years ago. A bit hot-headed, a short fuse, and a kind heart which were rare for vampire's to have, no matter how old they are.
"I'm sorry about screaming at you Kumiko," She apologized. "But you really need to tell me the truth on what is happening to your father."
Kumiko nodded, "It's that bone armor."
Kokoa's eyes widen in fear, flashbacks on what happen that day racing through her mind like a typhoon. Forgetting that her niece was in her arms, Kokoa shivered at remembering the beating she receive at Ichigo's hands. The pain she remembered feeling as each blow rain down on her body, every blow she knew she well so deserve for starting that mess in the first place. If she wouldn't have never got in between their business then none of that would of happen, and she might have never spent time in a hospital bed for two weeks.
"Baba are you okay?" Kumiko asked
Kokoa quickly snapped out of her fear and looked at her niece, "I'm okay Kumiko, just was thinking about something that's all." She lied a bit to the girl; she quickly pulled herself together before looking at Kumiko with one of her usual smirks. "Let's go see if we can help your parents"
Kumiko smiled, nodding her head in determination. "Okay!"
"KOKOA-CHAN!"
The read haired vampire stopped in whatever she was doing and turns her gaze towards where the voice was coming from. Knowing who it belong to, Kumiko looked behind herself and gave Tsukune an annoyed look. "What do you want pervert?"
Tsukune sweat dropped at that, chuckling nervously as the read haired vampire glared at him like she usually did when he greeted her. "Just wanted to say hi Kokoa-chan," He said
Kokoa smirked at him, "Or you just wanted to do another one of your perverted acts again didn't you Tsukune?"
Tsukune's eyes widen and a blush covered his cheeks, "That... is not true Kokoa-chan!" He denied still blushing
Kokoa chuckled a bit before narrowing her eyes, "What do you really want with me Tsukune?" She asked him. "And don't come up with that lie that you only wanted to talk to me either."
Tsukune's smile dropped and he looked at Kokoa with a sad frown on his face. "I wanted to know have you seen Moka-san anywhere." He asked her. "I wanted to apologies for what happen three weeks ago"
Kokoa looked at him in confusion, "What do you mean you want to apologies for what happen three weeks ago?" She asked him. "You didn't do anything to apologies for."
Tsukune winced but didn't answer her, the memoires of that day flashing back in his mind. Him losing the one thing he cares about the most to a monster, he clenched his fist a bit in frustration at remembering that. Kurumu who was standing at his side, looked at him in sadness no what he was thinking about. Even though after everything that happen that day and how long it was ago, Kurumu still felt anger course through her veins as she thought about it. She still couldn't get why Moka would want to give herself fully to that damn monster knowing he could probably kill her at any given moment. She might not want to be friends with her anymore for hurting Tsukune's feelings, but it didn't mean that she wasn't going to worry about someone she thoughts as a friend.
Mizore stepped up a bit and looked a Kokoa, a lollipop sticking out of her mouth a usual. "You were still knocking out to even know what happen at the moment Kokoa," She explained to the hot-headed vampire.
"Do you know where Moka-chan is Kokoa-chan, desu?" Yukari asked her friend
Kokoa eyes suddenly widen as she remembered what she was supposed to be doing before she was interrupted. "SHIT!" With a burst of speed, she took off towards the forest heading in the direction toward where she could feel her sister's youki
Tsukune and the other looked at the feeling girl in confusion, wondering why she took off towards the forest in such a rush. "Something must be wrong for her to take off so fast into the forest like that," Tsukune said narrowing his eyes
"How do you thin something's wrong Tsukune-kun?" Kurumu asked
"I knew you were dumb milky cow," Yukari began smirking. "But I didn't think you were this stupid."
"Shut up flat chest!" The Succubus growled grapping Yukari by her neck and began choking her. The small witch grabbed Kurumu by the cheeks, beginning another one of their usual fights.
Tsukune looked at them sweat dropping, wondering how they could be fighting at a time like this. "Girls," he called out to them. "I don't think it's time for us to be fighting right now."
Mizore sighed at the scene before her, but inside she was quite happy that the familiar scene of her friends fighting like they usual do. It brings back times when they didn't have to worry about thing like demonic looking x-boyfriends of Moka's or finding out their friend's long dark secret. It was just the usual thing they did before they went to school and Mizore was happy a bit to see it again. She sighed sadly though, looking at the side of Tsukune remembering how Moka would usually be right there by his side. But that was long passed them, Moka had now actually started a family from Mizore's point of view and even though she didn't like it a bit, she wasn't going to stand in her friend's way.
Summon two ice kunai; she threw both of them at the two fighting girl's head which struck both with dead accuracy. "We have no time right now for you two too to be fighting right now," She said calmly. "We have to go see what happening between Moka and Kokoa."
Tsukune nodded at her in thanks, "Kansha ( Thanks) Mizore-chan."
Mizore blushed a bit at him, "You're welcome Tsukune-kun."
Suddenly two black auras of death filled the area, causing Tsukune to sweat drop along with Mizore looking with a bored look. They both turn to see both Kurumu and Yukari growling at Mizore with anger in both their eyes.
They both pointing at the Yuki ona. "WHAT THE YEAK WAS THAT FOR?" The both screamed
Mizore sighed and turn on her heels, rushing into the forest without even answering her two friends. She could hear the two crying out in anger, but she didn't bother with turning back to face them. She looked at her side to see Tsukune running along her side with a determined look on his face. Even though Moka had chosen Ichigo over him, he was still determined to protect her no matter what the vampire said. That was one of the main reasons why Mizore fell in love with Tsukune; he fought for his friends no matter what happen to him.
She just wishes that man that Moka had chosen did the same thing, and maybe she wouldn't be so worry all the time.
Inside the forest...
"GET OUT OF MY HEAD!" Ichigo raged on, throwing his fist towards another tree and destroying it on contact.
This pain was something Ichigo had never felt before in his life, it felt like he was being torn apart from the inside out. Even the slightest twitch of his arms causes him serious pain; this pain was far worst then anything he had every experience before. He had come out here like usual, placing his daughter far away from him before sitting on the ground and trying to enter his inner world. Ever since that day with what happen to Moka's little arrogant sister and that damn pest, Ichigo had been wondering why he had black out a bit through some of it. When he had asked Moka about it, he was great surprise to hear that what every happen to him, bine like armor was covering his entire body.
Ichigo had remember using something like that when he had fought Kokuto, but during that fight that power was helping him other than trying to take over his entire body. When everything was over that day, he had thought that after hell's power had left him that he wouldn't have to worry about it again. But it look like he was mistaken on that part, and this time when it showed up it was far from helping him like it did in hell. This power was drawn towards his negative emotions which for about months to almost a year now, was all that Ichigo was about now since what happen to everyone he cared for. Drawing on those emotions, he had brought out every last one of them to try and draw out hell's power and try to confront what every tried to take over his body.
Big mistake
Ichigo thought that since this power was something like his Hollow powers, was that all he was going to have to do was fight something which he had no problem with. When he entered his inner world he was surprise it remained the same it was when he last entered it, but before he was able to call on both Zangetsu and his Hollow, his hold body snapped with extreme pain which he had never felt before. Before he even notices it, he was fighting for every control of his body harder than he had ever fought before. This thing that was attacking him from the inside was drawing on every negative emotion he had, increasing them and trying to make him do things he would never do no matter how enrage he was.
"What's wrong Kurosaki?" That damn voice spoke again through a dark chuckle. "Are you just going to stand here in pain, or are you going to give me control and let me kill those two bitches?"
Ichigo growled in rage, 'You can ask all you want you bastard!' He shakily took a step toward the middle of the meadow. 'But I will NOT kill Moka and her sister!'
The voice chuckled darkly at that, "How noble of you Kurosaki. But do you think you can resist me for any longer? It's only a matter of time before you give yourself fully to me."
Even through the intense pain he was feeling, Ichigo manage to chuckle darkly at the voice attempt to scare him. 'If you think you're scaring me, then you have to try a lot harder than that bastard.' He snapped in confidents, 'That damn Hollow of mind gave me far worst trouble then you are. So if you want my damn body, then you're going to have to do A LOT harder than that, because I want just give my body to anyone.'
The voice seems to growl in rage, insulted that Ichigo would even compare him to a hollow. "I am FAR more powerful than a mere Hollow you fool!"
'Tsk,' the orange haired shinigami was still smirking even through the pain. 'You have yet to prove that to me you punk ass bastard!'
"You INSOLENT BRAT!" The voice roared. "Do you think you can Define ME?"
Suddenly, the pain Ichigo was feeling increase tremendously. "RRGGGHHAAA!" He screamed in pain and rage, bending over and grasping his stomach in pain. A few seconds later, his knee gave away on him and he collapse to the ground still growling in pain. This was far worsted then anything he had ever felt before, but even with that he wasn't going to let fucking pain stop him. He had come too far in this world to let some unknown bastard to think he would take control of HIS body.
"I will let up on the pain you insolent fool if you just give into you're revenge for that brat of a vampire and her older sister." The voice said trying to presume Ichigo, "Why are you not giving into something you know you want? Are you just going to let her get away with talking about you're dead pathetic family and friends?"
Ichigo's eyes suddenly morph from their usual chocolate, to a deep ruby red. 'YOU SOVA BITCH!' He roared in rage, 'I kill you for talking down on them!'
The voice only chuckled at Ichigo's threat, "Many people over the cross of millenniums have made the same threat to me boy." The voice seems to lose all it's dark humor and replacing it with cold fury, "But only two have mange to do it but you are far from being on their level of revenge and strength."
'Do you think I give a fuck you bastard?' Ichigo snapped in rage. 'I have defined the very foundations of Soul Society ITSELF! Do you SERIOUSLY THINK that I wouldn't define a fucking coward?'
The voice seem to stop, shocked at what Ichigo just called him. "What did you just call me boy?" He asked in cold fury. "I am far from a coward child!"
Ichigo chuckled, 'you're nothing but a coward you bastard!' The orange haired shinigami grunted as the pain increase in his body. 'You have no honor, no pride at all. You only attack people from the inside and try to force you're way to their body by giving into their emotions and darkest secrets.' Ichigo grunted a stood up to his left knee, 'At least when my Inner Hollow tried to take over my body, he had the pride to fight me for it. But you are far from being like that bastard, but either way I will never let a fucking coward with no pride take my body from me.'
The voice said nothing to Ichigo, only increasing the pain around him, making his body hurt even more then it was. Ichigo didn't know how long he was going to last, even though he knew what that bastard was doing was cowardly; he was doing something well-crafted from attacking someone from the inside. But none of that matter, Ichigo was going to fight this think as hard as he could no matter how long it took; this think wasn't going to stop him from his revenge. He grunted in pain and looked at his right arm to see it completely covered in that damn bone like armor, along with the entire right side of his body. That thing had somehow managed to get this stuff on him, but Ichigo was fighting with everything he had to stop the final piece on the right side of his face to be summoned on.
Another scream passed through his lips as something exploded from his back, flaring out behind him like wings or something. Turning his head slowly, his eyes widen in surprise as seeing wings that were made out of the same bone like material as this armor. The last few times Ichigo had use this power, they had no wings, but it also didn't have a fucking voice or was trying to take over his body either. He roared in pain and slammed his fist into the ground, completely destroying the ground under him, creating a large enough crater for his whole body to sit in.
"ICHIGO!"
The orange haired shinigami looked up through one eyes, seeing Moka looking at him with a worried expression on her face. "...Moka?" He called out to her
"YES!" The voice suddenly shouted in glee. "The first one to be killed for our revenge to be completely Kurosaki!" The voice shouted more of its power into Ichigo "Now stop resisting me and kill her!"
"RRRGGGHHHHHH!" A loud scream tore pass Ichigo's lip, full of pain and rage. The knee he was holding himself up with gave away, and the orange haired shinigami found himself on the ground again.
Where she was standing, Moka's eyes widen in fear at hearing Ichigo's pain filled voice. "ICHIGO!" She shouted to him rushing forward, "Don't worry, I'm coming."
Ichigo's eyes widen in alarm, and he quickly waved his arm towards Moka, sending a wave of reiatsu towards her. The silver haired vampire only had time to widen her eyes before the wave of energy slammed into her, blasting her off the ground and slamming her into the ground. She grunted for a moment before picking herself up from the ground, glaring at Ichigo as she did so. Moka was very confused and angry at what Ichigo just did, she at least thought that he had come to trust her just a bit since the three weeks they've been staying together.
"I'm only trying to help you Ichigo!" She snapped at him. "I thought that you at least would trust me not to harm you with all the time we been spending together."
Ichigo growled at her, "That's not the reason why I did that!" He snapped back at her, he was about to say something but his eyes widen as another swarm of pain race through him. "RRGGHH!" He screamed in pain, clutching his stomach and flaring on the ground in pain.
Moka watched all this feeling helpless, she felt like she couldn't do anything as the man she loved was crumbled on the ground before her in pain. She hated feeling weak like this, not being able to do something to help the one boy that help her through most of her childhood anger her to no end. She looked up and observed Ichigo closely, seeing how the bone armor her and Kumiko had worked so hard to free from him was back. But as she looked at on, it seems to be far worsted than it was three weeks ago. The stop part of his shihakusho was ripped to shreds along with a portion of his right pants leg as well.
"ONEE-SAMA!"
Moka turn quickly to see Kokoa rushing towards her with Kumiko in her arms, she growled in frustration at seeing her daughter here. "Why did you bring Kumiko here Kokoa?" She asked through a growl
Kokoa stopped in front of Moka and looked up at her. "I had no choice Onee-sama," She said. "I couldn't just leave her by herself no could I?"
Moka's eyes twitch at that, picking up the taunt in Kokoa's words. "I don't have time for your games Kokoa," She growled out.
Kokoa glared at her sister a bit, "I'm not play-"
"AAAAHHHHHHHH!"
The area around them suddenly turn dark as yellow and black youki suddenly blasted around them, both sisters and daughter eyes widen in fear. They both turn quickly towards Ichigo to see him slamming his fist repeatedly into the ground, the youki that they suddenly felt was covering his entire body along with most of the area they were end. Seeing the armor around Ichigo that almost ended her life, Kokoa shivered in fear and took a quick step back. Flash of what happen three weeks ago going through her mind again, those eyes that were looking at her she could still remember even though she was half conscious during most of it.
"What's wrong with him Onee-sama?" She asked through fear she was trying to put down.
Catching the fear in her sister voice, Moka glanced at her in a small bit of worry. "That armor that incase Ichigo back when he lost it on you is back," She declared.
Kokoa was filled with more fear then before, "... What?" She chocked out
"Don't worry Kokoa," Moka looked at her with a determined glare. "I want let it hurt you ok, so try to calm down as best as you could."
Kokoa blushed a bit, feeling embarrassed that her sister caught onto what she was feeling. "... I'm not SCARED OK!"
Despite what was happening, Moka chuckled a bit at her sister before smirking. "If you say so Kokoa," She said
"Kaa-san?"
Moka turn her gaze towards Kumiko, looking at the girl with an angry look on her face. "What is it Kumiko?" She asked coldly
Kumiko winced at her mother voice, feeling the anger and disappointment in her voice. "I'm," She shuttered out. "Sorry for not telling you everything about what was happening to Tou-san."
"Why didn't you tell me what was really happening Kumiko?" Moka order in a motherly tone. "You just made things a bit worst without me knowing what was truly going on!"
"I'm sorry Kaa-san," Kumiko said sadly. "I was just sacred"
Moka sighed, "Don't worry about it princess." She said, "It's not your fault so don't think I'm mad at you ok."
Kumiko smiled a bit, "Okay Kaa-san!" She chirped happily
Moka smiled at the girl before turning her gaze back towards Ichigo, who was still crumbling on the ground in intense pain. The smile on her face was replaced with a worried frown; Moka wanted to help so badly but she couldn't get close without Ichigo blasted his youki at her. Unlike before when his youki use to her hurt, she couldn't get around him without worry about herself being hurt. But that had change now, she could get close now to him with his youki hurting her, but with him blasting towards her was going to cause as a problem for her. She bit her lip in frustration, not coming up with any possible way for her to get closer to him to help him.
"MOKA-SAN!" A familiar voice called out
Moka cased her gaze behind her just in time to see Tsukune and the other entering the meadow. She caught sight of Kurumu and glared at her, which the Succubus caught and sent her own glare back at her. "What are all of you doing here?" She asked
Despite what happen between them, Tsukune smiled at her. "We followed Kokoa-chan when she race off without warning," He explained to her
Moka narrowed her eyes at him, catching that he wasn't telling her the full truth. "What is the other reason you're here for?"
Tsukune eyes widen a bit, but he said nothing and held his head down. Seeing him like this, Kurumu growled and glared at the sliver haired vampire. "What we're doing here is none of your business!" She snapped
Moka glared darkly at Kurumu, turning around fully to face her. "You've been getting on my last nerves for the last time Succubus," She stated coldly and clenching her fist at her side. "It seems like you have forgotten you're place but I will soon but you back in it permentally."
Kurumu responded by flaring her youki, "If you think I'm scared of you then you have another think coming." She growled out
"Stop it you two!" Mizore snapped, "We do not have time for you two to be fighting like fools right now."
Moka glared at her, "Who are you calling a fo-"
"GET OUT OF MY HEAD!" Ichigo suddenly scream in rage, cutting Moka off from whatever she was going to say. The silver haired vampire widens her eyes in worry, and turned her attention away from Kurumu and focuses it all on Ichigo. Tsukune and the others turned their gaze towards where the voice came from, widen their eyes in fear at what they were seeing before them.
"Oh, no" Yukari stuttered out in fear and stepping back at bit, "It's that armor of his again, desu"
Tsukune shivered in fear as well, remembering that he was almost killed by that same armor Ichigo was wearing. "What's happening to him?" He asked in alarm
Moka glared at him, "It's none of your business on what's wrong with him!" She lashed out
Tsukune winced at that, but said nothing in his defense, he didn't want to make thing's between them worst then they already were. Mizore frown at this and turn her gaze towards Moka, "You really didn't have to do that Moka." She said, "I know you're worried right now but you didn't have to lash out on Tsukune-kun."
Moka didn't answer her, she just turn her gaze back towards Ichigo who was still crumbled on the ground in pain. The panic she was feeling was increasing inch by inch with every minute that was passing, and having them all around her like this was making it far worst. Standing from where she was, Kokoa couldn't help but observe Ichigo from where she was standing. From what she had gathered from what was happening to him, Kurosaki seem to be in pain or fighting for control of his body.
"Onee-sama?" She called out
Moka turn her gaze towards her, "What is it Kokoa?"
"I think I found out what's wrong with Kurosaki," Kokoa spoke seriously
Moka's eyes narrowed in anger, "I already know what's wrong with him Kokoa!" She snapped
"Do you know he's currently fighting for control for his body?"
The only thing Moka could do was widen her eyes in shock, "... What?" She shuttered out in shock before glaring at her sister. "What do you mean by that Kokoa?"
The red haired vampire pointed at Ichigo, "Just look at him Onee-sama." Moka followed her gaze along with the others, "He seems to be fighting with all he as from whatever his trying to take control of his body." She shivered a bit, "Three weeks ago he let it take over but this time he seems to be fighting it with all he's got."
'How?' Tsukune said to himself in amazement. 'Just how is he able to fight something form taking control of his body like that?' He himself knew he would be able to fight off the ghoul, every time the ghoul was set free he would be fighting someone who he knew he couldn't defeat by himself. But just looking at Ichigo fighting with everything he had, Tsukune could help but be in awe at what he was witnessing. 'Just how much will and resolve someone must have to do something like that?'
Ichigo cried out in pain, his body racking with wounds all across his upper body from him ramming his body into trees. What every this damn thing was that was trying to take over him, Ichigo couldn't lie and sat that it was persistent. But no matter how persistent it was, Ichigo wasn't going to allow this thin to beat him. He had come to god damn far to let this thin suddenly come out of know where and beat him, he would not lose to anyone every again. Even though it was his first family, Ichigo had found himself a family of his own now and if he let this thing win, he had no doubt that it was going to go after Moka and Kumiko first using his body.
"Stop resisting me Kurosaki!" The voice said through a chuckle, "There's only a matter of time before you're body belongs to me. You could make this easy on yourself and just kill them before I get 'my hands' on them."
Ichigo grunted, holding his head up and glaring directly into Moka's eyes. "I REFUSE!" He shouted through rage, "No matter how long it takes you bastard! I will not let you have my body." He looked into his hands that were clenched into a claw like fashion, "I will not let you use my body to kill Moka, Kumiko, or Kokoa!" He rashed out
Moka eyes widen at that, along with Kokoa who was standing close to her. "What?" Moka said in shock
Mizore narrowed her eyes, "It looks like Kokoa's theory was right." She concluded as she looked on, "That bone like armor seems to have a mind of its own and it's trying to take over his body to try and kill you three."
Tsukune looked at her, "Are you sure about that Mizore-chan?" He asked her
Mizore nodded, "From what I'm seeing, that's the only thing that seems to be happening right now."
Kurumu looked on at the scene before her, "Just how could he fight something from taking over his body like that?" She asked. "Just how powerful do you have to be to do something like that?"
Nobody answered her; they just kept their gaze towards Ichigo who was fighting with everything he had to keep from whatever it was from taking over his body. From within Kokoa's arms, Kumiko looked at her father with worry and fear. Inside her heart she was feeling helpless for not being able to help her father, just like her mother she wanted to do something to help but couldn't find anything. Watching her daddy struggle like that was causing all kind of emotions to craw within her, something that she did not like just like her mother. Her eyes suddenly widen and a grin spread over her lips, maybe if she try that he may work like before.
"FIGHT IT TOU-SAN!" She screamed, shacking the others out of their shock. "YOU CAN'T LET THAT MENIE WIN TOU-SAN!"
Moka smiled at her daughter getting where she was going with this. "LISTEN TO YOUR DAUGHTER ICHIGO AND FIGHT IT!" She shouted to him, "I SWEAR IF YOU LET THIS THING TAKE OVER YOU I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU THE WORST BEATING OF YOUR LIFE!"
Tsukune and the other sweat dropped at this, 'I think threating him is not the way you should go with this." They all thought
From where he was on the ground, Ichigo looked at his small family in anger. 'What the hell are they still doing here?' He raged on. 'What the hell haven't they left yet?'
The voice inside Ichigo's head chuckled darkly, "I see that make believe family is trying to encourage you to fight on." Again it chuckled, "But you know better than I do that you will not be able to resist me for long."
Ichigo didn't answer him; he just kept his gaze on both Moka and Kumiko who was looking at him with determined looks on their faces. He also could have sworn he saw his family and friends all around them with smiles and smirks on their faces, along with the pink version of Moka as well. Ichigo growled in rage, stumbling to his feet with everything he had within his body. He wasn't going to let this cowardly bastard win no matter what! He REFUSE to let this thing beat him within his own body.
"I must give you some points for being able to resist me for so long Kurosaki," The voice said. "But none of that is going to matter after your body is finally mind!"
Ichigo stumbled forward, clutching his head in pain. "I already told you I want let you take over my body again."
"KEEP FIGHTING ICHIGO!" Moka raged on from where she was standing, "YOU ARE TO STRONG TO LET SOMETHING TAKE OVER YOU LIKE THIS!"
"YOU CAN DO IT TOU-SAN!" Kumiko shouted. "I BLEIEVE IN YOU!"
Believe...
Ichigo's glare turns murderous, 'That's it!' He stopped walking and stood hunched over, his hands still in their claw like stance. Sweat was pouring from his face and he was breathing in ragged breath with each he took.
"Stop fighting me boy and just give me CONTROL!" The shouted pushing all its power onto Ichigo
The orange haired shinigami grunted in pain, but held it back with everything he had. "You sova bitch!" He swore, clenching his fist at his side. His long hair began to wave behind him widely along with his reiatsu flaring to life and out around him. "It will take more then head game to make me kill my family," Inch by inch he stood completely up to his full height. "You may have invaded my mine and my body" His bluish white reiatsu flared to life around him, crushing the ground below him. "But there's one thing a shinigami always keeps, HIS PRIIIIDDDDDEEEEEEE!"
With a fierce roar of absolute rage, Ichigo screamed to the heavens above him. Flaring out every last bit of his reiatsu within his body. Moka and the others only had time to gasp in shock, before a huge shockwave tore pass them. The very air around them was filled with nothing but Ichigo's reiatsu, causing each of them to look on in awe as Ichigo was glowing like a typhoon. Moka and the other girls hair was flaring behind them wildly, and each of them were beginning to lose their footing.
"AAAAHHHHHHHAAHHH!" Ichigo continue to scream in rage, completely forgetting about Moka and the others that were close by him watching. All he care about was not losing to this thing, he wasn't' going to hand over his body just like that to a cowardly bastard.
Lowering her head a bit, Kokoa stared at Ichigo in awe as his power continue to shoot up into the sky, parting the very clouds like it was nothing. She had never seen nothing like this before in her life, and even though she didn't want to admit it. The way Ichigo was glowing with his own power before her was nothing short of...
"Beautiful," She said softly
Tsukune himself was amazed at what he was seeing; this power that was in the very air itself was nothing short of amazing. He could practically feel it swarming around his own body, giving him the strength to overcome the very thing that always tried to take over his body. But even though he felt awe and amazement at Ichigo's power, he couldn't help but feel fear as well. 'Was this really how much power he had? Just how can someone fit that much power within their body like that?' He asked himself. 'Just what are you Kurosaki Ichigo?'
With one final scream, Ichigo reared his head back farther, unleashing a hellish storm of bluish reiatsu that blasted in all directions. Moka's eyes widen and she quickly turns around and dove at Kokoa and Kumiko, bringing both of them down with her. Tsukune and the others followed her and fell to the ground quickly, putting their arms over their heads and waiting for the worst to where off. A large explosion suddenly went off, exploding outward in all direction of the forest and causing some of them to scream. After a couple of seconds passed of no notice, Moka looked upward from where she was standing to see everything was over.
She picked herself up from the ground, brushing herself off before glaring in the dust cloud. 'Where are you Ichigo?' She asked herself in worry
"God damn it!" Kokoa snapped also picking herself up
Moka sent a glare her way, "Mind if you don't you that kind of language with my daughter being here to hear it."
Kokoa chuckled nervously at that, "Sorry about that Onee-sama." She apologies, she turn her gaze toward the dust cloud. "I never really imagine he would be this strong Onee-sama."
Moka shook her head in responds, "You're not the only one Kokoa." She quickly turn her gaze back towards the dust cloud, hearing like someone was gasping for breath
When the dust cloud settle; Moka and the others were greeted with a glaring Ichigo who was gasping for breath. All the armor along with the bone like wings were destroyed and gone, everything about him was back to normal. His knees were bent low and his fists were clenched tightly at his sides, the bluish white aura of reiatsu was still circling around his body. Moka and the other took a moment to look in awe to see half the forest behind Ichigo was completely wipe out, not even a tree was standing behind him like they were a second ago.
"I can't believe it," Moka glanced behind her to see Tsukune and the other were back on their feet. Each of them had looks of awe and fear on their faces, "What kind of strength allows a person to fight against and over power their own enslave body?" Tsukune said, "Just what is he to be able to do something like that?"
"TOU-SAN!" Kumiko shouted in glee, breaking from her aunt's arms and rushing over towards Ichigo.
"Hey?" Kokoa snapped a bit but the little sliver haired girl didn't hear her, or just didn't care at the moment.
Moka smiled a bit, "Don't worry about it Kokoa." She said walking towards where Ichigo and her daughter was currently at, "She's just happy that her father's okay."
Kokoa snorted before crossing her arms, "She still didn't have to almost break my arm to get to Kurosaki either Onee-sama." She countered
Moka didn't answer her, the only responds Kokoa got out of her older sister was her breaking into a run towards Ichigo. "ICHIGO!" She shouted
The orange haired shinigami only had time to raise his head a bit before he felt arms wrap around his neck, he looked down a bit to see that Moka had buried her head in his chest. Tsukune and the others walked over towards them, not trying to ruin their moment or anything so each of them just kept quiet. Watching this in front of him, Tsukune was still a bit angry and betrayed that Moka would just toss him aside like this. But even with that, he does mean he was just going to easily just give up on the woman he loves. Just like she fought for him through the first year at his time a Youki Academy, he would do the same for her no matter what happen to him.
"What are you doing here Moka?" Ichigo growled out. "I thought I told you to leave this place?"
Without any fear, Moka glared back at him. "I just wasn't going to leave you here you arrogant bastard!" She snapped, "You need my help just as much as you need mine."
"So I'M the arrogant one?" Ichigo growled glaring at her
Moka smiled at him before chuckling, "Yes you're the arrogant one but," She kissed him a second before looking him in the eyes. "But you're my arrogant one."
Ichigo took a brief moment to look her in the eyes before he cross his arms over his chest and scoffed, not getting in the least where she was going with this. He was a bit happy though, being able to overcome that damn bastard from taking over his body. He was going to let anything hurt either Moka or Kumiko, over the three weeks he had come to forgive Moka and he wasn't just going to allow someone to kill her of like that. Taking a brief moment to remember what just happen, he could have sworn he saw all his friends encouraging him on to fight that damn thing. He smirked a bit before looking in the sky, maybe he was alone physical but that doesn't mean he wasn't with them in spirit.
"Ichigo?"
The orange haired shinigami looked down at Moka with a frown on his face. "What do you want Moka?" He asked her
The sliver haired vampire cross her arms over her chest, "When you were overcoming that thing from taking over your body." She said glaring at him now, "You called yourself a shinigami. I thought you were this thing called a Vizard?"
The other were confused about that as well, they thought for sure that he was this Vizard thing. But when he was overcoming that thing, he had clearly called himself a shinigami and not a Vizard at all. Looking at her, Ichigo couldn't help for his frown to turn worst, even though he knew it was going to come out soon, he didn't want it to come out so soon or never at all. He sighed a bit before walking towards the school grounds, taking each step in caution because his body was still buries up. Ichigo paused a bit when he felt someone wrapped their arms around their neck, he looked on each of his side to see both Moka and Kokoa helping him.
Ichigo narrowed his eyes at the read haired vampire, "What are you help me for?" He asked her coldly
Kokoa held in a shiver but glared back at him nonetheless, "Just shut up and let me help you." She told him, "You can't do everything alone lie you think you can." Ichigo scoffed but did not answer her
"Where do you want us to take you?" Moka asked
Ichigo narrowed his eyes, the burning hatred flaring back to life. "Take me to that bastard Headmaster of your," He growled out. "Me and that bastard have a lot to talk about, and after I'm finish and maybe if he's alive." He glanced at both of them, "Maybe he could help so you will be able to relive my own memories without even being harm."
Moka and Kokoa's eyes widen at that, could that bastard Headmaster really be able to make someone live someone else memories? Either way if it could it will help Moka greatly to know where Ichigo truly got his powers from.
"Moka-san?" Tsukune called out to her
The sliver haired vampire glance at him, "What do you want Tsukune?"
Tsukune threw her a determined look, not backing down from her. "I would like for me and the others to come with you," He asked her. "Maybe if we see what he was like before everything he said happen to him, then maybe we can change our view point on him."
Moka glared at him, "We don't need you al-"
"Let them come," Ichigo said cutting her off
Moka eyes widen before she glared at him, "What?" She growled at him
Ichigo glanced at her coldly, "It doesn't matter if they come or not Moka." He told her, "Their going to find out either way no matter what you want."
Moka glare darken but she didn't say anything, she turn her gaze in front of her and continue walking. She was still a bit angry that Ichigo was allowing Tsukune and the others to come, she had wanted from the beginning to do this by herself. But again like usual, Tsukune and the others just had to butt in like that always did when it came between her and Ichigo. She brushed that off for the moment; she was getting what she wanted to know for a long time so she could complain about it. Moka just wish after all this was over that Tsukune and the others could get through their heads that Ichigo's not as evil and heartless as they think.
