I do not own Rosario + Vampire.

Lady Oyakata took Tsukune's hands in a motherly fashion. She looked at him as though they had never seen each other before. Tsukune looked back at her confused.

"What happens after you complete your quest for vengeance? " She asked.

Tsukune face became very serious, "There is no after. There is only fixing the future. There is only making sure my friends are safe."

"And then what?" She asked with concern, "Will you suddenly disappear from the face of the world?"

Tsukune gave a weak chuckle, "I don't know."

There was a silence. It was a deep, dark atmosphere. It was a gloom that neither wanted.

"Did you like what I did with the ranch?" She asked.

She had created a somewhat paradise for witches. Many had decided to come live with her. It was like walking through a small village. It was nice and everyone seems happy.

"Yes," Tsukune said, "I do. I'm happy that there is such a drastic change."

She smiled, "Where is Kokoa?"

He chuckled, "Suffering a hangover."

"Wh-"

"Lady Oyakata!" A four year old Ruby yelled as she ran into the room, "I did it! I moved a spoon across the room!"

"Congratulations, Ruby!" Lady Oyakata smiled lovingly, "This is Tsukune, Ruby. Remember the story I told you about him?"

"Yes," Ruby nodded with an admiring smile, "Thank you."

Tsukune felt like he had something stuck in his throat. She was giving him a look like he was a hero. He was a menace, the villain, the one who let them die! How could she look at him like that after hearing the story?

"Thank you for coming to save me, Tsukii. Is it okay if I call you that?" Ruby asked with an innocent smile.

Tsukune walked over to her and dropped to his knees. He nodded his head. He felt the tears cascading his face.

"I'm so sorry," He whispered to her, "I'm so sorry, Ruby. You were such a good friend, person, and I couldn't protect you. I'm so sorry, Ruby. Please forgive me, please."

Ruby looked at him confused. Tsukune felt so broken yet relived. He was finally able to apologize to her. He had done that before but it was a corpse. What if she didn't forgive him? Could he handle that?

"What do you mean?" She tilted her head, "You came back didn't you? You selflessly came back to make it a better world so our friends could be happier."

Tsukune's breathing was uneven, "You make me sound like some kind of epic hero."

"That's what you seem like to me." She responded.

"I don't know anymore." He whispered.

Kokoa sighed as she walked through the room. She was seeing it again. She was seeing a pink haired, ten year old Moka. She assumed that it was because she was the worse to her when they had left the castle. 'Moka' didn't do much.

She just seemed to stand there. Kokoa could occasionally say something, but honestly she knew she was going insane.

"Kokoa," Moka said in a soft whisper, "Will you really kill your mother for me?"

Kokoa didn't respond. She looked in the fridge.

"Or will you make Tsukune taint his hands for you?" Moka asked.

Kokoa took out her tomato juice and got a glass.

"What happens after, Kokoa? What will you do?" Moka asked sadly, "You know I'm worried about you, I always am. Please don't ignore me."

Kokoa sighed, "You are not real."

"Why do you hate me?" She asked almost crying, "Why are you so cruel? I tried my best Kokoa to be a good older sister, but you didn't care. You made my life miserable!"

Kokoa felt like crying, "It should have been me who died. I'm so sorry, Moka. Forgive me please! I'm trying my best to make it right."

Kokoa looked around. Moka was gone. She was nowhere to be seen. Kokoa cried out for her. Why? Why couldn't it have been her?

Tsukune and Kokoa ate silently. Neither trusted their voices to sound okay. They both felt miserable at the moment. It wasn't exactly unnatural though. Every now and then this would happen. Neither could say anything.

"Kokoa! Tsukune!" They heard a sad, desperate voice call out at the door.

Tsukune blinked. Kokoa reacted faster and was already on her feet answering the door. Ageha was standing there in tears. She looked panicked, sad, and most of all desperate.

"They…they took her!" Ageha sobbed, "They took Kurumu!"

Kokoa looked at her confused, "What?"

"They took Kurumu! An organization called Fairy Tail."

Tsukune ran to the door, "What do you mean they took her?"

"They," Ageha tried to calm down but a sob came out, "Attacked us and just took her away. Please, help."

Tsukune let out a low growl. He ran to his room. Kokoa was still shocked, but made Ageha come in. Tsukune came out with a blue print of one of Fairytail's branches.

"They probably took her here." Tsukune said, "I don't think they took her to the head quarters."

Kokoa nodded and then let out a hiss, "It won't happen again!"

"Damn, straight." Tsukune responded.

Ageha didn't have the state of mind to ask what they were talking about or how they had those blue prints. She just wanted her little Kurumu back. She would do anything for her baby girl. What could she do though? She was so confused and couldn't stop crying.

Tsukune wrapped his arms around her, "Don't worry, we are getting her back and making sure those bastards never raise a hand again."

He had to save her. He had to make sure she was okay. Damn it all! It was probably his fault that Kurumu and Ageha were probably involved in this mess. They wanted to play with fire, he would make sure they turned to ashes as they burned in the depths of misery.

'Blood, terror, murder…'
