Awakening

(Tsukune's POV)
He had woken up some time ago, but he didn't really know just when he had awoken as his alarm clock had been destroyed in fight that occurred earlier. "Damn it!" Tsukune thought, "I'm supposed to protect Moka, but how can I do that when I can't even beat her father? He's powerful yeah, but there must be stronger people out there. People who could want to harm his Moka."
This thought brought Tsukune out of his contemplation as he looked at the silver haired goddess laying beside him. "I have to get stronger," Tsukune said quietly, thinking out loud, "My 'strength' won't cut it if I want to protect her. I have to talk to Damph again, and see if he has any ideas." With that statement, Tsukune laid in bed thinking of how he could get into his psyche. After several minutes of thought, he closed his eyes and focused on his breathing. This brought him into a meditative state, and while concentrating on his breathing, Tsukune pictured the landscape of his psyche. He had been there only a handful of times, but that was enough for him know the layout of it fairly well. When he finally opened his eyes, Tsukune saw Damph sitting in front of him smirking like a cocky prick.
"Well, it seems like you figured out how to get here," Damph said with false praise, "Only took you a few months and a near death experience to do it. But in all seriousness, good timing. We desperately need to talk."
"No kidding," Tsukune said curtly, wanting to get to the chase, "I need to get stronger, and quickly. Do you have any ideas on how I could do that?"
"Hold your horses kid," Damph said reproachfully, losing the smirk, "You saw what happened when you over exerted yourself. You barely lasted ten minutes before the stress was too much for your body to handle. How do you plan to get stronger?"
"I need to find somebody to train me. Somebody stronger than Moka's father," Tsukune said simply, as if it were that easy, "And I need to find them quickly."
"Okay then, that's it huh? Just find someone more powerful than one of the strongest vampires alive," Damph said, with more than a little sarcasm, "Should be a piece of cake."
"I never said it would be easy," Tsukune retorted, "That's why I'm asking you. So do you have any ideas?"
Damph just sighed in response, "You're lucky I'm a part of you, or you would be dead by now. Why don't you try asking the Bus Driver? He not only knew where Moka's mother was, but he also knew to bring her here, so he obviously knows more than he lets on."
"Nothing else?" Tsukune asked hopefully, "Looking for a few more options just in case he doesn't know anything."
"Nope, you're on your own if he doesn't know anything," Damph said completely serious.
"Well it's a start," Tsukune said, trying to be upbeat. And with that, his psyche faded into black as Tsukune woke from his slumber.
(Moka's POV)
Moka woke in an unfamiliar place. It almost looked like Tsukune psyche, but distinctly different somehow.
"In case you haven't picked on it by now," a strange voice said from behind, "This is YOUR psyche."
Moka instantly went on the defensive, whirling around to face the voice. Only to stare in shock at the being before her. It looked and sounded like her, but had her mother's aura about it. "Who are you?" Moka asked, thunderstruck at seeing "herself," but with some drastic changes. It had her hair, eyes, and physique, but the ends of it hair were dyed pink and its energy was the same as her mother's, albeit slightly weaker.
"Oh? I'm you," it responded with a giggle, "Or rather, I'm what you could be. I'm the power you could possess."
"I could possess if what?" Moka questioned angrily, "What makes you think I need more power?"
"Well if your fight with Gyokuro was anything to go off of," she taunted, "Then I daresay that you need quite a bit more. I mean seriously, for the prodigy child of the leader of the Three Dark Lords and the leader of the strongest vampire clan in history, you would think you could have lasted at least five minutes. But no, you were beaten so thoroughly it's amazing your pride still exists."
"S-shut up!" Moka screamed, looking back at her last few fights, "She's right. I was always called a prodigy. But these last few fights have just been pathetic. Tsukune beat me senseless while unconscious when we first met, and then I couldn't beat that red-headed mage, and now Gyokuro had me at the throat until my mother showed up."
"I see you've realized it," the entity said with satisfaction, "And to add the icing on the cake, Tsukune is already standing up to the likes of your father. I know you felt it, the sting at your pride when he was right about your father showing up and Tsukune facing him head on. Meanwhile, you couldn't do anything to help him. You were completely and utterly powerless to do anything worthwhile."
"I-i….," Moka stuttered, feeling her pride shatter like a pane of glass, "How do I get stronger from here. How!?"
"Easy," it replied, extending her hand, "Just take my hand. This isn't like Tsukune's power, your body has been preparing itself for this influx ever since you received the power at birth. All you have to do is accept it."
"Well, what's the catch?" Moka asked stubbornly, refusing to blindly accept the proposal, "This can't be for free."
"Well," the being said with a sinister smile, "That's for me to know, and for you to find out."
"No," Moka said simply. "Come again?" the entity said, "What did you say?"
"I said no," Moka repeated, "I don't want your power. I'll get more powerful on my own."
"Hehehe," the entity chuckled, "AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh that's cute, you saying that. Oh that's fine, but just know….that there will come a time when you are going to need power to protect Tsukune and you'll have to accept my power."
"We'll see about that," Moka replied, "We'll see."
"Yeah, yeah," it said, turning around to walk away and starting to fade in the process, "Just you wait, you will have to accept me soon enough."
And just like that, Moka's psyche started to fade to black. When she awoke, she saw Tsukue sitting at the edge of the bed. He seemed troubled, if his aura was anything to go off of.
"Tsukune," Moka started, "What wrong dear? Why are you so troubled?"
"I'm not strong enough," he said seriously, "I wasn't strong enough to protect you. Hell I couldn't even protect myself. If your mother hadn't shown up, who knows what would have happened?"
"Tsukune, you stood up to my father," Moka said, attempting to cheer him up, "There are hundreds, maybe thousands of vampires that couldn't hope to achieve even that."
"If you can even call it standing up to him," Tsukune said, chuckling darkly, "I only did a small amount of damage throughout the entire fight, and my body gave out within ten minutes of us starting. Hell I could barely touch him."
"At least you damaged your opponent," Moka said, looking down in shame, "I didn't even hit Gyokuro. She toyed with me the entirety of our battle."
"Even still," Tsukune replied, "For as powerful as damphirs are supposed to be, I made them seem like a joke yesterday."
As Moka crawled over to him and hugged him from behind, she rested her head on his shoulder.
"It's alright love," Moka said soothingly, "We'll get stronger together. I promise."
When Tsukune leaned his head back to rest on her shoulder as well, he couldn't help but smile. "Where would I be without you?" he asked.
"Still stuck as a human in that boring school of yours," she replied softly, allowing a small smile to grace her face.
"Isn't that the truth?" he asked rhetorically, as he and Moka layed back down to rest their sore bodies'. "I talked to Damph earlier," he said once they got situated.
"Oh, and what did he say?" she asked in response to her mate's statement.
"He said that if I wanted to get stronger, I should ask the Bus Driver if he knew a way for it to happen," Tsukune explained, "Consider how he always seems to know what's going on at all times, no matter what."
"That does seem to be the case," Moka said, wondering if she should tell Tsukune about her visit to her own psyche, "Let's sleep love. We have a lot to do tomorrow."
"Orrrrrrrr," Tsukune said slowly, starting to nip at her ear, "We could do other things to pass the time until morning."
"Oh you naughty devil you," Moka said, lust slowly making its way into her voice. She decided not to tell Tsukune about her visit to her psyche as he climbed on top of her, and the two lost themselves in each other's bodies.
Author's note: I know the last three chapters have come out at random, and that is mainly due to me not having any ideas on where to take the story. I tried to open it up to you guys on what you wanted to see, but no one spoke up and the story went into temporary hiatus. I can say that the story if no longer on hiatus since I believe that I have someone who can basically proof read any chapter I put out and help me come up with ideas on where to take it next. But he doesn't like reading lemons, so if any more of those appear, just know that they won't help further the plot, but will instead be a tool for building relationships. But with all that out of the way, know that I might be putting out a new story. It will be a R+V and Black Butler crossover, if it does happen. So be on the lookout for that. I don't know what I will call it yet, but I'll let you guys know. So, with that said, I hope you all enjoy, and I hope you have a good day.
