"A ghoul is a vicious blood-thirsty monster that will stop at nothing once it starts to rampage," answered the cross before outer Moka could even open her mouth.
"I-I see..." Tsukune's eyes were filled with worry and curiousity. What would happen to him? He took a deep breath.
"I'm so sorry, Tsukune!" Moka suddenly yelled out, her eyes watery and red. "It's all my fault... I ruined your life!"
"You're getting the wrong idea. You didn't ruin my life. I would never get angry at you... because I-"
"So, Tsukune will turn into a monster soon," said a voice coming from the closet.
"M-Mizore?!" Tsukune and Moka were both left with their mouths open, dumbfounded. Mizore stepped out of the closet and approached the two.
"I wasn't going to let Tsukune come here by himself with you." She glared at Moka for a second, then turned to him.
"I told you to calm me your snow bunny." She grabbed on to his arm and tugged on it gently. "Let's go make a baby."
"WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?!" Tsukune's nose started to pour with blood, leaving red stains everywhere.
"Tsukune..." Moka whispered to herself as Tsukune tried to get loose from Mizore. 'I wonder what's going to happen to him.'
~The Next Day~
"Good morning, Moka." Tsukune greeted Moka as always.
"Good morning..." she replied with a serious tone to her voice.
"You don't have to worry about it. I know I won't be the same person I was, but we can't change the past. Plus, It's not worth loosing you as my friend."
"T-Tsukune, do you really mean that?" she looked up at him with a sparkle in her eyes.
Kurumu was approaching them, Mizore and Yukari followed. She didn't look happy... at all. She came marchig with her fists clenched and an angry look on her face. Once she reached them, she stood in front of Moka and... *Smack*
slapped her right across the face, leaving Moka holding her cheek with her hand. "Kurumu..." She whispered.
"How could you do that to Tsukune?!" she screamed. Her eyes were watery and had a touch of anger to them.
"Kurumu, It's okay! You didn't have to slap Moka!" Tsukune stood in between them, stretching out both arms so that she didnt attempt another hit.
"I kind of agree with Kurumu," Yukari spoke up. "I feel like Moka betrayed us. It's one thing to bite him, but turning him into a monster is another story."
"Exactly!" Kurumu exclaimed. "What's done is done!" Tsukune looked at the three of them with anger. Moka had already crouched to the ground,
still holding her cheek. The shock was too much. It wasn't the first time that she had been slapped by kurumu,
but this time was different.
"Tsukune, you idiot!" Kurumu stepped closer to him and gave him weak punches to the chest while repeating, "Stupid,
stupid, stupid!" She looked up at him, her eyes full of tears. "Why aren't you reacting?!"
"Because there is nothing I can do. Yes, I was shocked. I tried not to show it, but I'm scared. I do worry about my future. However, I thought about it all night and came to realize that this isn't such a big deal. It might even be a good thing. Now I can protect you all, right?"
"That sounds like something Tsukune would say," Mizore pitched in, lowering her head. "He's been thinking about us this whole time and all we've done is blame Moka and speak for him." She stepped closer to Kurumu and grabbed her arm. "Let's go. Tsukune, we'll meet you in class."
"I'll see you after school..." Yukari went on ahead, knowing that there was no point on waiting for them since she was in a different homerooom. Mizore had a little trouble pulling Kurumu away, but managed to. Kurumu walked with her silently.
"Is it because he is going to turn into a monster or because of the type he's turning into. Are you afraid that now he'll be closer to Moka?" Mizore abruptly asked Kurumu as they headed to class.
"You do know that us Succubi live off of love, right?" she aswered with a question.
"That's right... Tell me, what happens if the person you chose as the 'destined one' loves another woman?"
"I don't know. I'm the first succubus to not use her abilities on the 'destined one.' At least that I know of. They usually use charm or kiss them. Though in other cases the man is already in love, since us succubi are born with natural beauty."
"I see," Mizore answered quietly as they entered the classroom.
Meanwhile, outside of the school, Tsukune was talking to Moka. "Are you okay?" he asked.
"Y-yeah. There was a lot of anger in that hit... I've never seen Kurumu this upset. This was even worse than that time you were almost killed for being human."
"We should get to class, or else Ms. Nekonome will give us both detention." Tsukune took the lead and started to walk into the school. "You coming?" He asked, looking back at her. She nodded ad quickly caught up. They both headed to their classroom, oblivious to what was coming.
