"Right." Tsukune looked at Moka, had he confessed? He, himself, was unsure about his feelings towards Inner and outer Moka. Who did he love? He had thought that he loved Outer Moka, but slowly started falling for Inner Moka as well. However, Outer Moka was gone now. He didn't know if he would ever see her again. Was this a test to see who he was faithful to?
The door slowly opened, Moka in fighting position. Tsukune mimicked Moka's actions and prepared himself for battle.
A man entered the room, but as son as he stepped inside, Moka kicked him through the wall that was behind him. "Let's go!" she exclaimed, calling for Tsukune. He followed her, both running aimlessly. They knew nothing about where they were or how to get out.
Moka led the way, turning in each hallway that they encountered. "Damn. Can't find an exit," she muttered, continuing to search for an escape route. "Over there!" Tsukune pointed out a door labeled "Emergency Exit" He quickly ran through the door, shocked by where he was. Moka followed him and also fell in shock. They were in a forest.
The forest had tall green trees. The ground was moist and brown. They both looked at each other, wondering where the hell these people had taken them. "Let's get moving before they notice that we're gone." Moka started to run at a supernatural speed, Tsukune following close behind. "Something's not right," Moka spoke as she continued to run.
"What do you mean?"
"That was too easy. The escape."
"Now that I think about it..."
"Just what are those bastards planning?" she clenched her fists, followed by the grinding of her teeth. "We should be far enough by now," she said, noticing that it was getting dark.
She slowly started to reduce her pace, until she came into a stop. "And we also need to rest. Who knows how long we've been unconcious."
"I see a cave over there! That should protect us from rain and also works as a good hiding place," Tsukune pointed out, slowing down as Moka had. He stood beside Moka, showing her exactly where he saw the cave.
"That'll be good enough. It should work for one night." Moka walked towards the cave, examining it carefully. After studying it, she stepped inside. "It's empty. No wild animals. But a bear sounds good right now."
"We haven't eaten, huh? I wonder how long it has been?" Tsukune followed Moka inside, where he sat against a rock.
"What I worry about is what they did to us. What have they been doing while we were unconcious?" she sat beside Tsukune, clenching her fists again.
"If they did anything to you, I'll be sure to kill them," he whispered loud enough for Moka to hear. She immediately felt her heart beat faster. What was this feeling?
"It's not like I can't protect myself." She tried to hide the fact that she felt flattered and that her face was turning red.
"I don't care wether you can protect yourself or not. I will fight for you no matter what," he said with a sparkle in his eyes, turning to look at Moka. He scooted a little closer to her. Out of nowhere, he put his arm around her and brought her head against his chest. "Because I love you." This brought Moka to tears. She couldn't believe what she heard.
"Tsukune..." Her tears couldn't be stopped. Her hand was brought up to his stomach, where she grasped tightly onto his shirt. She'd heard his confession before, but it wasn't the same. Everything was different this time; especially the mood.
"I don't want to see you cry. We're supposed to be happy, aren't we?" he held her closer to him.
"Tsukune... I think I've..." the salty water drops leaking from her eyes made it difficult to talk. She spoke to him while gasping for air. "I think I've come to love you too," she said quietly, unable to look at his face while saying it.
"I'm glad that I'm loved back." He used his hand to turn Moka's chin upwards so he could see her face. He cleaned the tears off of her eyes with his hands. "Stop crying. Know your place," he spoke softly with a wink. Moka nodded. She felt weak crying, but it was almost impossible to stop. All of those unexpressed feelings were pouring out along with her tears.
She was caught off guard when she suddenly felt lips touch her own. Tsukune had leaned in for a kiss. At first, she had her eyes wide open in surprise, but eventually closed them. She leaned in further, feeling like she could fly. In the split second that they separated to catch their breath, Tsukune quickly whispered, "Marry me."
