Jasper: Listen, while I appreciate that you took the time to review, maybe you should wait for the next chapter before you judge my whole story. While I am glad you enjoyed the comedy in the chapter, I'm a bit disappointed in your lack of perception. The man is an S class super monster, a Vampire, just like Moka. And if you would have read a bit more carefully, he was wearing her down, bit by bit, I might add. But she was going at him like hell, and if he and his assistant hadn't used the big bottle of water, she would have won by herself. And the reason she was so affected by it, is because like I said, he was wearing her down.
Plus he didn't give her the chance to rally her strength, he just began hitting her. This guy, Vladimir is above Kuyo's level, and is almost at Moka's level, I'm pretty sure I made that clear. Because there are a lot of monsters out there, so Moka isn't guaranteed to be the strongest of them all. And the reason Tsukune was able to defeat the man, was because Moka had wore him down quite a bit. And you will see him again, that I promise you. So please, continue reading before you get too critical. And you mentioned the Manga, as I said before I have never read the Manga so I wouldn't know anything that happened in it. So please, as I said before, don't judge my story on the first chapter, and thank you for reading and reviewing.
Okay, anyway without further ado, here's chapter two, or should I say episode two? Eh, doesn't matter, anyway, please read, enjoy and review.
The girls and Gin just gawked at Tsukune, he had defeated the weakened Vladimir in seven strikes, but each one of those strikes held tremendous energy and force. It was impossible for any A-class monster to do something like that, let alone a human. Among that, his eyes were blood red, and those eyes only belonged to Vampires. Not all Vampires, but most of the rare, extremely powerful ones. The only time Tsukune did anything remotely like this was when he saved Moka from Kuyo and fought with Moka's father, although only Moka and Kokoa knew of that one, but that was an after affect of her blood being injected into him. Then it clicked, Moka and Kokoa understood what was going on now. But Yukari, Ruby, Kurumu, Mizore and Gin had no idea.
Tsukune then turned back to his friends, but his eyes were still blood red, and he didn't look happy. He looked over all of his friends, examining them, Kokoa had a look of worry and slight confusion, Mizore and Kurumu shared looks of worry and pure awe, Yukari had a look of worry and fear, Ruby a look of complete confusion and worry, Gin a look of bewilderment and Moka a look of complete and utter sorrow and terror. Once he finished examining them, he spoke, "What's wrong?"
They all just kept staring at him, Tsukune's voice finally calmed down as he spoke, "W..why are you all staring at me like that?"
Tsukune's eyes returned to their original brown color, and he collapsed. All the girls except for Moka and Kokoa quickly dashed to Tsukune's side, as they did this Kokoa helped Moka to her feet. Ruby, Yukari, Kurumu and Mizore all checked Tsukune for any kind of injury, Moka and Kokoa walked over to the rest of the girls and Tsukune, Kurumu, concern in her eyes looked at Ruby as she spoke, "Ruby, you work for the school, do you know what happened to Tsukune?'
Ruby could only shake her head, Moka, knowing the answer to what happened, spoke, "It seems as though Tsukune has used the powers of a Vampire. Being human, that could only mean one thing..."
Kurumu, Ruby, Mizore and Yukari all looked up at Moka, tears in their eyes and asked in unison, "What? What is it?"
"It seems that Tsukune is in the preliminary stages of becoming a Ghoul."
All of the girls, except Moka and Kokoa, spoke in unison once more, "A Ghoul?"
"Yes, a Ghoul. A Ghoul is created when a Human, being Tsukune, is injected with a Vampire's blood, that being me. But it's only suppose to happen when the Vampire wishes to make the Human, a slave, or lackey if you will. All I did was will the blood to give life to him, so this is a very strange outcome. Not to mention that the Ghoulification process is taking much longer than it's supposed to. And then there's his powers, even when Ghouls are created by powerful Vampires, they don't have the kind of strength or speed that Tsukune showed. While it is true that he showed this speed when he saved me from Kuyo, and he showed his strength during his battle with my father, I figured they were just side effects from my blood. Because, ironically, in the end, most Ghouls are more powerful a few months, sometimes years, after their turned. So in theory, the same effects would apply for Tsukune's case, even though I wasn't trying to turn him into a Ghoul."
This long explanation took several seconds to click inside the other girls heads, especially since they didn't know anything about Ghouls in the first place. "Miss Akashiya is right on the money, this is a strange outcome."
All six of the girls, and Gin, looked to their right, and there was Vladimir, limping his way back to the battlefield, with the help of his assistant. Moka stopped putting her weight on Kokoa and stood up strait, as she spoke, "Come back for more, did you?"
A look of fright and nervousness came upon Vladimir's face as he struggled to calm the situation before it got heated again. "Hey, hey, hey, no need for that. I wasn't trying to injure any of you...permanently that is. I just wanted to draw out Tsukune's hidden powers, you see, while I was brought here to be the school's new counselor, I was also brought here to asses Tsukune's situation. This was a direct order from the school's director himself, from what I've heard, and what I've read about all this groups fights up till this point, was that Tsukune reacted to his friends pain. Meaning if I hurt all of you, that his powers would awaken, even if it was only for a little bit, I was still able to asses his abilities. And I gotta say, he's the strongest damn Ghoul I've ever seen, and he's not even fully developed yet."
Vladimir took a small breath and continued, "So I must compliment you, Miss Akashiya. Your blood seems to be the most potent in turning humans, yet. Then again, this might be a rare occurance. I guess we'll find out, one way or the other. So, until a solution is devised, I will be keeping a close eye on Tsukune. I suggest you all do the same, so until we meet again."
Vladimir, with the help of his assistant, then began limping back towards the school. Ruby handed Moka her Rosary, which she had picked up off the ground where Tsukune had dropped it, and Moka put it on. Causing her hair to bleed into pink, and for her to collapse into Ruby's arms. Mizore and Kurumu carried Tsukune back to his room, with Yukari and Ruby, who was carrying Moka, following behind. Kokoa went back to her room, and Gin did the same and went back to his room. As Kokoa entered her room, she couldn't help but whisper under her breath, "I hope Tsukune's gonna be okay."
Ko quickly flew off Kokoa's shoulders and got up in her face, "Really Miss Kokoa, you care that much for him, Wee?"
Kokoa couldn't help but blush, but she managed to summon a large amount of spite and reply, "Shut up! I don't care for that damn, annoying Human!"
Ko then began flying wildly around the room as he screeched, "Miss Kokoa's in love, Miss Kokoa's in love, Miss Kokoa's in love, Wee!"
Kokoa quickly reached up and grabbed Ko in both her hands and began to squeeze tightly, "If you ever mention this to anyone, I'll be needing a new slave!"
As Ko struggled to breathe, he managed to get out a few words between his breath's, "Of course Miss Kokoa, now please let me go, Wee!"
Kokoa let go of Ko, and he began breathing rapidly, trying to supply air to his oxygen starved lungs. While he did this, Kokoa flopped down onto her bed and spaced out, but, much to her dismay, soon a feeling of worry washed upon her once more. She couldn't help but grumble incoherent threats to no one in particular as she stood up and exited her room. She soon made her way out of the girls dorm and walked over to the area that she had first met Mizore, one of the girls in Tsukune's harem, from there, she looked up at Tsukune's bedroom window. It was late, so she had no choice but to scale the wall so she could check on Tsukune, because she couldn't just enter the dorm, the teachers would be alerted and she wouldn't get to actually check on Tsukune.
Right now, as she climbed her way up to Tsukune's window, she couldn't help but curse him and berate herself, in her head, "Damn that Human! He did this to me! I told him I wouldn't be apart of his goddamn harem, but look at me now! I swear, I should'a just killed him when I first arrived!"
As those words flowed through her, she felt a deep and tight pain in her chest, more specifically, where her heart was. Truth was, Kokoa was in denile, she knew it, and she hated it. The sound of sniffling broke her from her thoughts, as she peeked into Tsukune's room, through his window, doing her best to go unnoticed.
Tsukune's eyes, slowly opened, and as his vision began to become clear, he noticed that, Moka, Mizore, Kurumu, Ruby and Yukari were watching over him as he lied there. But he couldn't bring himself to open his eyes fully, and shut them again. He was trying to prevent the headache he felt coming on, so he decided to just lie still for a couple of minutes and hoped it would pass. And as he lied there, as still as he could be, he began hearing his girls talk. "This is all your fault!"
He could recognize the voice instantly, it was Kurumu, as Tsukune listened, he could hear sniffling, like someone was crying. "I..I..I, I just wanted to keep Tsukune alive! If I hadn't given him my blood, he would've died!"
Tsukune realized from her tone, that Moka was the one crying, or at least he thought so, until he listened carefully, all the girls were crying, he could hear it. They were just trying to calm down, so all he could hear was sniffling and almost silent squeals of sadness. "I know that! But you did something, the other you wants Tsukune as her slave, doesn't she?"
"No! She's not like that!"
"Yes she is, you haven't seen the way that she deals with things, you haven't heard what she's said to Tsukune. You may not think of Tsukune as just your food, but the other you even admitted that she does!"
When Kurumu finished, Tsukune could hear a strange noise, and then he heard another voice, "You have no room to talk, Succubus! Your the one who wanted to turn him into your damn sex slave, just to hurt me!"
Tsukune couldn't help but slightly open his left eye as he heard this voice, he saw that Moka's Rosary was glowing, and Inner Moka was talking through it, again. He knew this would get bad, so he tried to open his eyes, headache be damned, but he couldn't open them fully, he just couldn't. They were just too heavy, he couldn't help but close them once more. So he tried to speak, but his throat felt dry as a bone, as if he hadn't had something to drink in weeks. So, he tried to move, but his body felt as heavy as a couple dozen of cement blocks.
"Hurt you? I couldn't hurt you if I tried, you heartless bitch!"
"How dare you speak to me like that! Wasn't I the one who protected you precious damn Human? While all you four ever did was hurt him!"
Tsukune then heard another voice join in the argument, it was Mizore's. Her voice was cracking slightly, and she was still sobbing as she got angry and spoke, "No, how dare you! Although we've all hurt Tsukune in someway, you the worst of us! Especially since you still do it! Have you ever took a moment to read Tsukune's emotions, he can't hide them very well, so it's obvious you never took the time, or you just didn't fucking care!"
"What the hell are you talking about? The only time I've hurt this boy was when I taught him his place yesterday! If I hadn't he would've most likely strung you all, along with my Outer self, along forever!"
"I know what loneliness, self loathing and guilt look like in someones eyes, and if you payed attention, you'd know that every time you give Tsukune that look, the look that you use when your first released, the look that says 'You need me to protect you again? How pathetic.'. When you give him that look, his world comes crumbling down, you may not be able to see it, but I can! When you give him that look, he feels as if he's failed all of us! He feels as if he's garbage, he feels pathetic, he feels like he's useless! And trust me, I know, I know how that feels, I know what that looks like, because I've been there!"
Tsukune was shocked beyond all belief, he couldn't help but think, "How does she know that? I never told her any of that! How can she read me so well?"
Then, before Inner Moka could speak again, Tsukune heard Ruby's voice join in, "And our Moka, the Moka that we know, can tell you better than anybody, Tsukune's not that kind of guy! He wouldn't string us along forever, and how dare you say he is! Whether you just think of him as your food, or your really in love with Tsukune, it doesn't matter! Because it's obvious that you out of all of us, you'd be the one to leave him broken hearted! If he chose you, he'd end up hurt, and from the kind of guy Tsukune is, that would kill him!"
Inner was silent for a moment, but she was not the one to break the silence, Kurumu, Mizore and Ruby were, as they spoke in unison, "Yet, even after all that, your the one he loves the most! And your just throwing it back in his face, and I bet your enjoying it, aren't you?"
Tsukune, was holding back his sobs, and his noise, but if the girls were looking at him, they'd notice that he was crying.
"You all need to learn your place! I should come out and teach it to all of you! If it wasn't for me, this boy would have died before the lot of you ever met him! He's nothing but a weak, feeble, indecisive, useless, piece of Human garbage! If you ask me, him turning into a Ghoul would benefit all of us! Because then he'd at least be useful!"
Through all of this, Yukari remained silent, but even over the other girls Tsukune could still hear her crying. Tsukune, summoned every ounce of willpower he had and managed to sit up, open his eyes, and grab Kurumu and Mizore by their hands, because they looked as if they were going to attack Moka, but Inner wasn't even out, she was just speaking through the Rosary. Kurumu and Mizore both turned back to Tsukune, and the other girls laid their eyes upon him, as he, tears in his eyes, throat dry as a bone, spoke, "It's okay, the other Moka's right, about everything."
It broke each and every one of their hearts to hear him say that, as he was choking up, he continued, "So please, don't fight for my sake, I don't deserve it. I don't deserve to be loved by any of you, I don't deserve any of you."
Then as quick as he possibly could, he rushed out of his room, ran down the halls, down the stairs and exited the boys dorm. Just hoping to get away from the girls. As Kokoa watched the scene play out before her, she couldn't help but feel angry with her sister, she wondered, "But why? She's my sister, she told them how it is, she laid down the law, I should be backing her up! But when she said those things about, t..th..tha...that h...hu..hum, damn it! I can't even call him that anymore! Could I really be in l..love, with T...Tsukune?"
Ko, who Kokoa had left back at her dorm room, quickly flew up behind Kokoa and spoke to her, without warning her of his presence, "Why'd you leave me all alone Miss Kokoa, Wee?"
Kokoa, who was startled by Ko's voice, accidentally lightened up her grip, and her hands slipped and she began to plummet to the ground. She wasn't too far off the ground, so when she fell and hit the ground, there wasn't much noise, and only a bit of pain. As Kokoa stood up, Ko flew down to her to check on her, but before he could even speak, she grabbed him and slammed him on the ground. "Stupid bat! You made me fall!"
"So sorry Miss Kokoa, Wee."
Kokoa scoffed and turned around so she could go back to her dorm, but then she saw Tsukune running in the distance. She had the sudden urge to go after him, but she resisted, that's when a thought popped into her head, "If I follow him, maybe I can see if this is love I feel, and if it is, then I'll kill him and it'll all go away!"
An evil smile crept onto Kokoa's face as she chased after the barely visible Tsukune in the distance. As she did Ko lied there, and asked himself,"Where is Miss Kokoa going, Wee?"
As Tsukune dashed out of his own room, the girls couldn't help but just gawk at the door, as if they were frozen in place. It took several long seconds for any of the girls to register what had just happened, Kurumu, Mizore and Ruby all looked at Moka, her Rosary still glowing, Kurumu was the one to speak for the three, "Are you happy now? You've broken his heart, and made all his fears a reality, you cold bitch."
Kurumu, Ruby and Mizore all then rushed out of the room, and quickly exited the boy's dorm. Without a word from Inner Moka, the Rosary stopped glowing, and when it did, Moka sat down against a wall, hugged her knee's to her chest and began to cry. Yukari looked to Moka, apologies in her eyes, along with her tears, then she dashed out of the room, hoping to catch up with the other girls and find Tsukune. After several seconds, Moka knew she was alone, so she choked back a few sobs and grabbed a hold of her Rosary, she squeezed as tightly as she possibly could, as if it would hurt her other self. Then she vented her frustrations on the Rosary, hoping the other her would hear her.
"How could you? How could you say those things about Tsukune? He heard every word you said! You love him! Your in love with him! Just like me! So how could you say those things? He might never speak to us again! Or worse, he might leave! And we might never, ever see him again! And for what? Your stupid Vampire pride? You are just like father!"
The Rosary began to glow as Moka finished, after a few moments, the Inner Moka finally spoke but she sounded as if she had been crying right along with Outer Moka, "My pride clouded my mind, I am sorry. I never thought he would get to hear any of it, so I let father's teachings take over. But right now is not the time to fight, now is the time to find Tsukune, and apologize. In a secluded area, otherwise, your doing it for me. So, do we have a deal?"
Moka wiped her eyes clear of tears as her other self finished, "Okay, let's go."
The Rosary then stopped glowing, so Moka stood up and quickly exited Tsukune's room, made her way to the bottom floor and exited the boy's dorm. She had to find Tsukune and fast, she had to get him alone, so her other self could apologize to him herself.
Kokoa followed Tsukune all the way to a secluded part of the graveyard on school grounds, he sat down, his back to the tree, so she thought this was her chance, and as she was about to reveal herself, Tsukune began crying even harder than he already was. Kokoa then felt the same pain in her chest that she had felt earlier, then it clicked, Kokoa understood where this pain was coming from. When she thought about something that would hurt Tsukune, inside or out, it hurt her, when she witnessed him in any kind of pain, she was going to experience this feeling. Since she knew that, she now knew that she really was in love with Tsukune. Kokoa couldn't help but wonder, "But why'd it have to be him? Why not someone else? Why am I in love with him?"
Kokoa was brought out of her thoughts by the sound of Tsukune sniffling, trying to suck it up, but failing miserably. Kokoa was truly confused by this guy, he flinched when it came to his own death, would sacrifice his life for any one of his harem without a second thought, yet this has him breaking down like everything was about to be taken from him, including his will to live. "Does he really care about all those girls and my sister that much?"
Kokoa, who was still confused, decided to just go over to him and see where it went from there. When Tsukune heard footsteps, he looked to his right, Kokoa had walked up to him until she was right beside him. "K..Kokoa?"
She looked down at Tsukune's tear stained face, and she felt the pain in her chest again, so instead of saying something like, 'Yeah what the hell do you want', she forgot all the spite and asked him a true question, "Can I sit here, with you?"
Tsukune stared up at Kokoa, she held no spite in her voice, and her expression held no anger, scorn or amusement, and when he looked closely there was a twinge of sadness. "Yeah, go ahead."
So Kokoa sat down beside Tsukune, only about two or three inches away from him, and then without looking at him, she began speaking, her tone almost painfully sorrow, with curiosity mixed in somewhere, "Listen, I've seen the way you get along with your harem, how you do anything to help them, how you feed my sister your blood, how your willing to sacrifice your life to help them or save them, but what I wanna know is, why? Why do you do it? What do you get out of it?"
Tsukune detected no underlying tone, she wanted to know why, and it seemed as if it pained her, well if he could help someone out, he would do it.
Tsukune wiped the tears from his eyes and answered her, "I do anything and everything I can to help them, because their my first real friends. Their the only ones I've ever felt happy to be around, their the first people besides my family that make me feel loved. That's what I get out of it, although it's not a fair trade. All I do is help them with mediocre things, and in return they love me and protect me. When I don't deserve it, I can't care for them and I can't protect them! I don't do anything for them, all I do is help out with thing's they can do themselves, and then I'm probably just getting in the way! I don't do anything to deserve their love, yet they shower me in it! I'm useless, I can't protect them, I can't do a goddamn thing!"
As Tsukune continued with his answer, his eyes began turning blood red as tears continued to stream down his face, and when he finished, his eyes looked as if they were trying to burn a hole in the ground, where he was staring. Then, before Tsukune even knew what hit him, Kokoa was on her knee's and had pulled him into a tight embrace, he couldn't help but utter her name, "K..Kokoa?"
Then in a tone Kokoa had never ever used before, one that held compassion, understanding and sympathy, she spoke "It's okay, you've done everything you ever could, which is more than any other mortal could do, you need to cut yourself a little slack, after all, your only human, Tsukune."
To say Tsukune was shocked was an understatement, here was this girl, who hated his guts, yet she was hugging him and comforting him. His head was spinning in disbelief, but he was relieved and was calming down. His eyes returned to normal and he was silent, but after a few seconds, he wrapped his arms around Kokoa and puller her to him, locking her in a tight embrace. As he did this, a huge blush appeared on her face, and she was going to say something violent, so he would let her go, but he spoke before she could. "Kokoa, thank you, a million times, thank you. Your a true friend, you know that?"
It was Kokoa's turn to be shocked, "F..fri...friend?"
"Yes, if you'll let me, I'd like to be close friends. Because whether your my friend or not, you just did something only a true friend would do. And I appreciate it, more than you'll ever know."
Kokoa's head was the one that was spinning now, "I...I...I've never had a friend before."
"Then if you'd like, I could be your first friend."
"I...I...I'd like that."
Kokoa's blush deepened, then all the pieces of the puzzle fit together for her, her sister, the fake one and the real one, along with the rest of Tsukune's harem loved him, for everything he is. His kind and gentle nature, his natural drive to help people in need, his unrelenting loyalty and gratefulness and his heart that's big enough to care for anyone who will let him in. For once in her life, Kokoa felt at peace, and it was in the arms of Tsukune. Then it hit her like a wrecking ball, his scent, she had been doing her very best to ignore how good he smelled, how good he might taste, so she could have this talk with him.
And that reminded her of how hungry she was, she hasn't had any blood in over twenty four hours, she's been too busy to stop and pick up a transfusion pack from her room. She mentally slapped herself upside the head, she was so busy she forgot to eat. She hadn't ever done that before, she always made sure she was in top physical condition so she could fight in a moments notice. So as his smell kept protruding into her nose, she couldn't help but utter out loud, "You smell really, really good."
Tsukune didn't let go, but he turned his head and looked at her, as she saw him turn and stare at her, she just realized what she had said. And just about when she was going to say something to get off the topic, Tsukune smiled, "Oh yeah, I kinda forgot you were a Vampire for a moment there, sorry."
He then tilted his head to the left, revealing the full right side of his neck and continued, "Well, we are friends, and I kinda brought this on myself for hugging you didn't I? You do look pretty hungry, I've seen that look before, Moka's had it once or twice. So go ahead, I don't mind."
Kokoa couldn't believe her ears, "Did he just offer to let me suck his blood?"
Kokoa nodded her head, and bit down on his neck. Tsukune couldn't help but wince in pain, this felt almost as painful as when Inner Moka had bit him for the first time. As Kokoa fed, she couldn't help but think, "He tastes soooo, good! I mean ridiculously so, better not tell my sister about this, she'd probably kill me."
Kokoa fed, and fed, Tsukune began to feel light headed, she was sucking more than Moka ever had before. Honestly, Kokoa couldn't get enough, so she pressed her body up against Tsukune, so she could suck even more of his blood. When she did that, Tsukune couldn't help but blush, he could feel her breasts rubbing up against his chest, and someone was about to get up. So Tsukune needed to get Kokoa off of him, now, otherwise risk their friendship and his mortal well being by becoming aroused. So he softly spoke to her, hoping she didn't take it the wrong way, "Listen Kokoa, I kinda need you to stop. If you keep going, somethings gonna happen that your not gonna like at all."
The noise Kokoa made after he said that, made him puddy in her hands, she whimpered, she literally gave a sad whimper. So he gave in, "Okay."
She just kept feeding, but after several more seconds, Tsukune couldn't sit up right, he fell back, onto the ground and lied there as Kokoa straddled his hips and kept on feeding. All the while, unknowingly grinding her crotch against his. But finally she stopped when she felt something poke her, in her most sacred area, it sent a surge of pleasure through her, but nothing should be anywhere near there. At this same time though, feeling woozy from the blood loss, Tsukune couldn't help but pass out, without Kokoa knowing it. She reluctantly pulled her fangs out of Tsukune's neck and looked down at where their crotches met, and she was met with one big surprise.
Tsukune's little friend was poking her, Kokoa couldn't help but give a deep, dark blush at that. "He may be human, but there's nothing human about the size of that."
But no matter how she felt about him, this was not gonna fly. At least not without a question or two, so she looked back up at Tsukune's face, with as much fake rage as she could summon, and saw that he had passed out. She then realized just how much she had taken from him, and exactly what she was doing during that time. She couldn't help but mutter to herself, "I can't believe I just did that. Now I know what he was warning me about, I honestly don't know how to handle this kind of situation. Ah fuck it, I'll just carry him back to my room for now."
Kokoa then lifted Tsukune off the ground and threw him over her shoulder, he was actually quite light. But then again, she was a Vampire. Several minutes later, Kokoa opened her door, and Ko welcomed her back as soon as she entered the room, "Miss Kokoa, I'm so glad your back, Wee!"
That's when he noticed she was carrying Tsukune, she laid him down on her bed and closed her door. The second the door was securely shut, Ko was in Kokoa's face. "Miss Kokoa, Miss Kokoa, why is the human here, did something happen, Wee?"
"Out of my face before I squish you!"
That got Ko to quickly fly several feet back, Kokoa then walked over to Tsukune, sat down beside him on her bed and just stared at him as he lied there in his unconsciousness.
Yukari had caught up with the rest of the girls, but even with four pairs of eyes they couldn't manage to find Tsukune. They had searched every inch of the outside territory, the only places left was the school itself and the girl's dorm. Because they knew he left the boy's dorm, so they didn't even search for him in there. So they had no choice, they only had two places left to check, so they decided to hit the girl's dorm first. Moka wasn't having anymore luck than the other four were, she had searched the school, and most of the outside territory. So that meant, that either Tsukune was off campus entirely, meaning farther than the bus stop, or he was in the girl's dorm. So with no other options left, Moka dashed towards the girl's dorm as fast as she could.
Kokoa was snapped out of her gawking state, as she heard rapid footsteps from outside her door. Knowing it had to be Tsukune's harem, she quickly took Tsukune off the bed and hid him under it. So when four of Tsukune's five girls burst through the door, Kokoa just stood calmly and spoke in a spiteful voice, "What are you doing? Get the hell outta my room!"
The girls, not seeing Tsukune in Kokoa's room, quickly slammed her door shut and went onto the next one. Kokoa gritted her teeth as they left, then she muttered to herself, "Dumb broads can't even find him, how pathetic. Some harem they are, but I wonder, where's my sister in all of this?"
Then, as if Moka had heard her, she bust through the door, not breaking it down, but with enough force that the door slammed into the wall. "Kokoa, have you seen Tsukune?"
"Yeah, I've seen him."
"Tell me, tell me where he is!"
"Would you quiet down? And shut the damn door!"
Kokoa walked over and softly closed her door, then she came face to face, with her fake sister. "I'll tell you where he is, just be quiet. You don't want the rest of the girls in here, do you?"
Moka shook her head violently, "Okay then, he's under there."
Kokoa then pointed to her bed, so Moka and Kokoa pulled him out from under her bed and laid him on top of it. "Kokoa, why is Tsukune in your room, unconscious?"
"I found him out in the woods, balling his eyes out, something fell out of a tree and hit him on the head. So, I carried his unconscious ass back here."
Moka sat down on Kokoa's bed beside Tsukune, and put her right hand to his forehead, "He has a fever, he must have been hit pretty hard. I hope he's okay and that he doesn't get sick."
"Yeah, yeah whatever. But I've done you a favor, so you owe me, understand?"
"Yeah, anytime you need anything, I'll be here. But you don't need to bribe me Kokoa, if you have a problem you can come to me no matter what."
Kokoa scoffed at Moka, "Whatever, now are you going to help me, or not?"
"Okay, what is it?"
Kokoa, no matter how hard she tried, couldn't think of a way to say it that didn't embarrass her, So as a twinge of red graced her cheeks, Kokoa spoke, "I need advice."
"Wait, advice? About what?"
"Well, you know..."
"What is it?"
"You know..."
"Come on, I can't help you unless you tell me."
As a bigger blush appeared on Kokoa's face, she gritted her teeth and spoke in a semi spiteful way, "Damn it! You know exactly what the hell I'm talking about!"
Moka still didn't understand, as she searched Kokoa's eyes for the answer, she took in her whole appearance, and then it hit her. "Wait, are you having, boy trouble?"
Kokoa's blush increased and she let out a defeated sigh, and spoke, "Yeah. I just thought, well even though your not my real sister, I knew you'd be better to ask about this. Because, there's this guy I'm in love with, but I don't really think he likes me anywhere like that. I've done some really messed up things to him, and have hit him multiple times, and told him that I hate him. And every time he's tried to help me, I pushed him away and pelted him with insults. And, I...I just don't know what to do. How can I tell him how I feel, if he think's I hate him? How do I apologize without looking stupid, or mean? I've never had to deal with anything like this, and it's driving me nuts! So, please, help me out on this, please."
When Kokoa finished, she had this look of utter defeat, like she didn't know what to do, like she was lost and had no way of finding her way back. Moka couldn't help but smile, as she made Kokoa look at her and spoke, "Listen Kokoa, the only thing you really can do is get him alone and apologize, if you mean it, he'll forgive you. And you need to tell him about your feelings, because he might feel the same way, and you could be pushing him away with the thing's your doing. He could feel hurt, or he could assume that you really do hate him. The best thing to do is, apologize to him as soon as possible, then get him alone and confess your true feelings to him."
Kokoa had a look of complete fascination on her face as Moka explained what she should do, but Kokoa quickly shook herself out of it and put up her facade once again. "Yeah, well okay. We're even, so that's it. And thanks."
"No problem Kokoa, after all what are sisters for?"
Tsukune's eyes reeled open, and he sat up in bed quickly, he looked around for a second, and then realized where he was, and who was in the room with him. "Moka..."
Before he could say anything else, Moka pounced upon him, knocking him back down onto his back. She was crying as she began speaking, "I'm so, so, so, so, sorry for what the other me said! Please, just take the Rosary off, please, she has something to say to you!"
And before Tsukune could even get a word in edge wise, Moka grabbed a hold of his right hand, brought it to her Rosary and made him yank it off. Kokoa watched as this all unfolded before her eyes, as the blinding light from pulling the Rosary off faded away, there, straddling him instead of Outer Moka, was Inner Moka. She stared into his eyes, her eyes full of sorrow and regret, tears streaming down her face, as she spoke, "Tsukune...I'm, so sorry. I let my pride get in the way, and for that, once again I apologize. None of what I said was true, I know you better than that, the other me knows you better than that, so please, forgive me."
Moka then buried her face into Tsukune's shirt, he just locked her in a tight embrace and began rubbing her back as he consoled her, "It's okay Moka. It's all okay, I forgive you."
"Tsukune."
That was all Moka said as she snuggled against him, Tsukune had never seen her like this, ever. She looked so hurt, and it was because she had spoken the truth to the other girls. Tsukune couldn't help but feel his self loathing begin to grow, because he was the reason why Moka was like this, it was his fault, and he knew it. "Tsukune, there's something else I need to tell you."
"W..what is it?"
Several minutes later, as Moka finished explaining the Ghoul situation, Tsukune couldn't help but stare up at her with nothing but pure horror in his eyes, "I...I'm turning into an uncontrollable, blood sucking monster?"
Moka once again cuddled into him and uttered apologies, "I'm so sorry, I never meant for this to happen. Please, don't hate me."
Those words, coming from the one and only Inner Moka, the fearless, powerful, beautiful, and sometimes cruel Vampire, they just didn't sound right coming out of her mouth. Tsukune had already forgiven her, it was never about that, it was the fact of what he was turning into. "It's okay Moka, everything's going to be okay. Don't worry, I could never hate you, no matter what you do. Don't ever forget that. Besides, the school Director called in someone to watch over me for any strange behavior right? So I'll be fine, don't worry about me, I'm gonna be just fine."
In truth, Tsukune was mortified, but if the only way to make Moka happy was to ignore it all, and leave her out of it, he would suck it up and deal with it on his own. Anything for Moka and the rest of his girls. Tsukune managed to calm Moka down, and resealed her. Then he put her in her bed, and let her sleep. He thanked Kokoa one more time, and then headed out to find the rest of his girls. As Tsukune left, Kokoa flopped down onto her bed, and looked around, Ko was missing. Then she listened carefully, she could hear snoring from her closet, he had fallen asleep. Kokoa shook her head, to try and clear her head of everything, and slowly began to drift off into sleep.
Tsukune, unable to find the girls returned to his room, where the girls ambushed him. After he assured them that everything was okay, and that he was sorry for the trouble he caused them, he convinced them to go to their rooms and get some sleep. With the promise that they would talk about everything in the morning, so reluctantly they agreed and left. Tsukune then stripped down to his sleepwear, flopped down onto his bed and shortly after fell asleep.
