Okay, here's episode 6/chapter 6, okay this episode/chapter, and the next episode/chapter is going to be, a bit strange. If anyone's seen episode 21 of the anime/episode 8 of season two, titled, 'Youth and a Vampire' then you'll recognize the way this chapter/episode and the next one, are organized, but because it's similar, but not exactly the same, it will be different. One change is there will be more sense behind it, and well, you'll see. Anyway, please read, enjoy and review.

Day Three

Tsukune's eyes slowly opened, after a second, all the blur from waking up is gone. But as Tsukune stared at the ceiling, he realized, that something was on him, correction, somethings. He looked all over his body, all the girls were lying on him, Kokoa had her head on his chest, her body lying across Moka, who was snuggled up against Tsukune from the right. While Yukari had her head on his stomach, her body resting on Kurumu's, who was snuggled up against his left. Then his head was trapped in between Mizore's and Ruby's, they had their heads lying on his shoulders, lying opposite the way he was. Tsukune couldn't help but smile to himself, while blushing at the same time, he had all these pretty girls draped across him, it was one of the best thing's he's ever experienced, close to being the best.

That's when he remembered how him and his girls ended up like this, after their touching moment on the roof, they came down stairs and when Kyouko awoke, they spent an hour explaining to her, that what happened with Tsukune, was just a dream and nothing more. It was a bit hard, because of how stubborn she is, but Tsukune and his girls were eventually able to ram it into Kyouko's thick head. Then they helped Tsukune's parents carry groceries in when they got home, after that and dinner, everyone was off to bed. But the four girls that had beds. snuck down stairs after about an hour or two, after Tsukune's parents, Kasumi Aono and Koji Aono, fell asleep.

And, because they didn't want to wake them up with their squabbling, they all agreed to sleep with Tsukune on the pallets, since Moka had moved their pallets together. It took them several minutes, but they all eventually found comfortable positions, and they, along with Tsukune watched TV until they all zonked out. But for the life of him, Tsukune couldn't remember taking his shirt off, yet here he was, shirtless. Nevertheless Tsukune was awake, and was ready to get up and shower, but all the girls seemed so peaceful, using different parts of his upper body as a pillow, that he didn't dare wake them up. He wanted them to wake up on their own, let them rest, let them be peaceful, because they were always fighting among'st themselves, or fighting someone else, no matter what, his girls were always fighting, and it was all for him.

Tsukune let out a deep, contented sigh, muttering under his breath, "I love this, I could really get used to it."

Tsukune moved his right hand a bit, not enough to stir Moka, who was using his bicep as a pillow, but just enough to rest his hand atop her head. He then began to slightly, rub her head, and play with her hair. That's when Kasumi began walking down stairs, as soon as she reached the bottom and looked into the living room, she walked up to Tsukune lying on the floor, and spoke, "Why are all the girls down-"

Tsukune gave a very harsh, "Shhh!", to his Mother.

So she quickly stopped her sentence, and before she said anything else, she examined the sight before her, seeing all the girls sleeping upon Tsukune, looking very peaceful, while Tsukune himself looked happy and content. So she quickly rethought her words, it was obvious they had done nothing, if they had, the smell of sex would be in the air, six times as strong as it should be. But their was no such smell, and she couldn't put her finger on it, but something about the scene before her screamed, 'Peaceful innocence'. So she got closer, looked Tsukune in the eyes, and asked a question in a regular, motherly tone, "So, what's going on here?"

"The girls were restless, so they came down, we watched some TV, and before we knew it, we all zonked out."

Tsukune's Mother smiled, but then, her tone to changed to one of slight annoyance, "And how exactly did that situation lead to you being shirtless?"

Tsukune looked perplexed, but after a second he spoke, "To be totally honest Mom? I don't know."

When he said that, Tsukune could have sworn he saw his Mother's right eye twitch, before she said, "Okay then, I'll go make breakfast."

Tsukune just went back to staring at his girls, and before he knew it, someone else was coming down stairs, that's when he remembered that today, is a Saturday, that means his Father is off work. Koji finished walking down the steps and turned to the living room, at first he was sure he was seeing things, but after wiping his eyes, he realized that his son had six beautiful girls draped across him. He just slowly walked over, got in Tsukune's face, and whispered, "That's my boy."

"Shut up and go wait for breakfast in the kitchen."

"Can do, I can see that you'd prefer to be alone to admire their beauty."

Tsukune gave an exhausted sigh as his Father walked into the kitchen, and a scowl appeared on his face, as he couldn't help but think, "This is only the third day, and it feels as if I've been here for a week. Between my Family, and the three fuckheads that like to make my life miserable, this is going to be a long three weeks."

Out of the corner of his eye, Tsukune saw something move, he looked to his right at where he thought he saw something move, Moka was just stirring a bit, as he watched her do so, Outer Moka disappeared, and Inner Moka took her place, still looking peacefully asleep. Inner Moka then snuggled up closer to Tsukune, he couldn't help but smile at this. Inner Moka looked so peaceful, lying here with him, and just as beautiful as Outer Moka, he was used to this sort of thing. Maybe it was because he took so many blows to the head, or maybe his eyes just liked to play tricks on him, but every now and then, when he looked at Moka, he didn't see Outer, he saw Inner, even though her Rosary was still on.

And truthfully, he liked that, he never got to see Inner very much, and on more than one occasion, when he was dreaming about Moka, Inner took Outer's place a few seconds in. He wished he could hang out with Inner Moka a bit more, but the girls got really violent when she was out. Then, Inner disappeared, and Outer reappeared, the trick his eyes were playing on him, was over. He looked over all the girls one more time, before whispering to himself, "But with all seven of my girls by my side, I can make it through anything that comes my way."

"Hey Tsukune."

"Morning Master."

Tsukune then noticed, that Mizore and Ruby were both awake, "Oh, hey girls, already awake?"

They both nodded their heads, "Well breakfast should be ready soon, but I think the other girls might be asleep for a while, so could you save Kurumu and Yukari some?"

"Got it, but what about Moka and Kokoa? You don't have any transfusion packs here, and they didn't have time to pack any, are you up to feeding them both three times a day, for three weeks?"

Ruby had an excellent point, he didn't have any blood Kokoa and Moka could drink, besides his own. So instead of about one bite per day, for the next three weeks, it was going to be six bites every day. Tsukune couldn't help but think, "By the time we get back to Yokai academy, I'll be bone dry of all my blood."

"Well I guess I better drink a lot of liquids, don't want to dry up on them during one of their feedings. So, save me something to drink?"

Ruby and Mizore both scowled at Tsukune's statement, neither of them liked the idea of Tsukune having to be a walking blood bank for Kokoa and Moka. But they put it away, smiled and spoke in unison, "Will do."

And Mizore took the right side, Ruby the left side, and they kissed his cheeks, causing him to blush. The two then got up, and walked to the kitchen, Mizore looking back every few seconds to see Tsukune. Tsukune now only had four girls draped across him, three asleep, and one awake, as Tsukune soon found out. "Good Morning, Tsukune."

Tsukune turned his head to look towards Kurumu, a smile on her face, and a naughty look in her eye. Tsukune knew it was there, and he knew this wasn't going to end well. "Good morning Kurumu, did you sleep well?"

"I slept well..."

A blush appeared on Kurumu's face as she continued, "and I had a very pleasant dream, it was just you and me, on the beach, no one else around, and it was a nude beach."

Tsukune's blush returned as Kurumu said this, but then, Tsukune was saved before something bad could happen, Kurumu's stomach growled. Tsukune couldn't help but smile, as Kurumu looked down at her stomach in slight surprise and disappointment. "Sounds like your hungry, breakfast should be ready by now, go ahead and go eat."

Kurumu just nodded her head, as she begrudgingly got up off the pallet, and Tsukune, and made her way to the kitchen. Tsukune couldn't help but chuckle, as he thought to himself, "Saved by the bell? Try saved by the stomach."

But Kurumu getting up, caused Yukari to start stirring, and soon enough, her eyes opened, as she was on her knee's, her head resting on Tsukune's stomach. "Morning Tsukune."

"Morning Yukari, sleep well?"

"Yep, sure did. Had good dreams too, your like a soft, firm, good dream inducing, pillow."

Yukari couldn't help but giggle at her own statement, "Why, thank you Yukari."

Tsukune smiled as he brought up his left hand, and rubbed Yukari's head, in a loving way, she just closed her eyes and smiled back. "Tell you what, you and the rest of the girls can use me as a pillow anytime you want."

Yukari giggled again, a blush appearing on her face as she spoke once more, "You know, if I didn't know any better, I'd think you wanted all of us at the same time Tsukune."

Tsukune just nodded his head, then a second later he realized what she had said, as his face became flushed, and a frantic look appeared upon it, he spoke directly to Yukari, "No, no, no! It's nothing like that! I just meant that, if you girls ever got lonely you could, you know...crawl in bed with me. I, I didn't mean anything sexual by it, honest Yukari."

Yukari couldn't help but giggle some more, "I know Tsukune, your not like that, we all know that. Your just an unbelievably nice, caring and cute guy."

Tsukune's blush wasn't going away anytime soon, "Oh, good, I didn't want any of you to get the wrong impression. Hey Yukari, breakfast has to be ready in the kitchen by now. You should go eat."

"I will, thanks Tsukune."

Yukari got to her feet and took a few steps forward, but she quickly dropped to her knee's and whispered something in Tsukune's ear, "Just so you know, if you absolutely can't choose one of us, then I can live with sharing you. So if you ever bring it up, I'm okay with it, and I'll support you."

Yukari then gave Tsukune a peck on his left cheek, got to her feet and rushed into the kitchen. Tsukune's blush darkened a bit at Yukari's statement, he couldn't help but think, "She's okay...with sharing? Did she really just say that she would still be my girlfriend, if I had more than one? There's no way! I couldn't do that to my girls! That's one of the epitomes of selfishness! I could never, ever do that! And I could never ask any of the girls to do that!"

"Why not? Then you can have all of them, so you wouldn't have to choose."

Tsukune's eyes opened wide, his blush disappeared, he just heard another voice besides his own, in his head, there was another voice besides his own in his head! The creepiest part, it sounded a lot like him. "W...Who is this?"

There was no answer, the voice just seemingly disappeared, because for the next seven minutes, Tsukune laid there in silence. Tsukune let out a sigh of relief, it had just been his imagination. That's when he noticed that Kokoa was beginning to stir, she did so for several seconds, before her eyes slowly fluttered open, her face dangerously close to Tsukune's. Both had blushes appear on their faces, as they realized how close they were to each other. "Hey Kokoa, good morning, did you sleep alright?"

Tsukune moved his left hand and rested it on Kokoa's head, at first she seemed to be shunning his touch, but she just wasn't expecting it. He then began to play with her hair a bit, "Y..yeah, I slept fine. Your actually a pretty comfortable pillow."

Tsukune smiled at that, Yukari had said the same thing, that's when Tsukune noticed Kokoa looked pretty hungry, she had that look about her again, and it looked like she was fighting to keep from biting him. His smile widened a bit, "Kokoa, listen, I heard you didn't bring any transfusion packs, so I know you have no food. Your going to be here for three weeks, and you need to eat. And as long as my Parents don't see you doing so, then you can feed on me, whenever your hungry, okay? So you don't have to keep fighting to ignore my smell. Your a Vampire, your my friend, I love you, and none of that will change, whether you feed on me, or not."

Kokoa couldn't help but smile at Tsukune, "Thank you, so much."

Kokoa bared her fangs, Tsukune moved his head to the side, and the feeding began. She managed to scrape up enough for breakfast, before everyone else was finished with their breakfast, so she could get up off Tsukune. So Moka was the last one still using Tsukune as a pillow, everyone but her and Tsukune had eaten breakfast, and the girls were just starting to take showers, taking turns in the bathroom. Tsukune and Moka would have to start their daily routines last, Tsukune was fine with that, but he wondered, "How much longer will Moka be asleep?"

Tsukune got the answer to his question when Moka began to stir, and her eyes fluttered open in a similar fashion to Kokoa's, whether Kokoa wanted to admit or not, her and Moka are incredibly alike, at least that's what Tsukune thought. "Morning Moka, have any good dreams?"

Moka snuggled closer to Tsukune, nodding her head, "Tsukune, you smell so good."

Tsukune couldn't help but give a smile at that, she always did it, "It's okay Moka, don't fight it, go ahead, before my Parents see."

She nodded her head, and sunk her fangs into his neck, and after she was done, she stood up and got in line for the bathroom. Tsukune just shook his head, as he stood up, and made his way to the kitchen, he needed some sausage, eggs, and big glass of ice tea, then he would take a shower.

Day Four

Kokoa looked around for anybody that might follow her, when she couldn't find anybody, she slowly and quietly opened the second floor window, she crawled through it, closed the window and got onto the roof. She looked around, until something caught her eye, there, sitting in the same place Tsukune had sat two days ago when he revealed all his secrets, was Inner Moka. Kokoa couldn't help but wonder, "So she is up here, but why? Did she ask Tsukune to take off the Rosary just so she could come out here and look at the night sky? No, I don't think so. That's not like my real sister at all."

Kokoa got a bit closer, and saw Moka had a big book in her hands, she was reading it. Kokoa, slightly perplexed by this, walked over to Inner, and sat down by her. "Hey Big Sister, what are you doing out here?"

Moka, in her usual cocky, non caring tone, spoke, "Is it not obvious? I'm reading a book."

"But I never see you read books, you stopped a long time ago, ever since you've only been reading magazines."

"Well I'm reading a book now, so shut up, I wish to read in peace."

"Where'd you get the book?"

"Did you not hear what I just said? Whatever, I got it from Tsukune."

Kokoa smiled at that, "Oh, so your reading it because Tsukune gave it to you. You really are in love with him, aren't you Sister?"

Moka's tone ever so slightly changed as she began to speak again, but only six individuals could tell, and only five of them could understand the change, one of them being Kokoa herself, "I happen to find this book interesting, that's why I'm reading it. It has nothing to do with Tsukune."

Kokoa's smile widened a bit, "So not only did he give you a gift, he actually gave you something your interested in. Sounds like he's a keeper."

Moka scowled at her half Sister, "Listen brat, if you don't stop, then I'll rip your fangs right out of your head."

"So you admit it. Listen Big Sister, I know you better than anyone else, even Tsukune, because he never get's close to you for long. I know your in love with Tsukune, I can tell, you may be able to slip that fact past those dumb broads down there, but not past me."

Moka's scowl deepened, but after a second, it turned into a malicious grin, "You've got no room to talk, your like puddy in his hands. Your in love with him too, I've seen the way you look at him, whatever Outer see's, I see, he could ask you to do just about anything, and you'd do it."

Kokoa scowled at that, "So would you!"

"Ha! He wishes."

"I guess I'll just have to tell Tsukune about that, which means I love him more than you do."

Kokoa then stuck her tongue out at her Big Sister, Moka scowled once again, her tone changing once again, to an even fiercer one than she usually has, "Love him more you say? What delusional fairy tale are you living in? No one loves Tsukune more than I do, not the harlots down stairs, not Outer, and certainly not you."

Kokoa's scowl returned and deepened, "We'll see about that, when he chooses, it's going to be me. This is something I know you'll lose to me in, I will win Tsukune's heart."

Moka bared her fangs at her Little Sister when she said that, "Is that all this is to you? Another competition between us? Another thing to try and prove your better at? Is Tsukune just some prize, something to be tossed aside once your done with him? If that's the case, then I'll tear you to pieces before you even get a chance to break his heart!"

Kokoa bared her fangs right back, "Hell no! I love Tsukune! The hard truth is, whether your fighting for it or not, Tsukune's heart will be mine, and mine alone!"

"You little fucking brat!"

Moka quickly jumped to her feet, "I think it's past due the time, for you to, learn your place!"

Then, before Kokoa even had time to react, Moka's right leg shot up, kicking Kokoa right in the jaw, causing her to go soaring strait upward at an incredible speed. Moka then sat back grabbed the book Tsukune gave her, and began reading it once more, truly interested in the story of the book. Kokoa soared upwards for several seconds, but gravity quickly had her racing down towards the ground. The trajectory was altered because of the wind, so instead of landing on the roof, she fell smack dab into the middle of the street.

Ko flew up about fifteen feet off the ground, "Finally, I've been waiting to get out and enjoy the fresh air, this episodes showdown, if you could call it that, lasted about twenty seven seconds, Wee!"

Ko then quickly flew downwards towards Kokoa, he had to make sure his Mistress was okay. Kokoa got to her feet and dusted her clothes off, grumbling to herself, "She was a lot funner when we were younger, now she's just a bitch. What has happened to my Sister? Love is supposed to bring out the best in people, right? Something else must be bothering her."

"Miss Kokoa, Miss Kokoa, are you okay, Wee?"

"I'm fine Ko buddy, come on, let's go and get to bed, and make sure your not seen."

"Of course Mistress, Wee."

Day Five

Kokoa once again climbed out of the house and onto the roof, closing the window after she slipped out. She stood up strait, and looked up at the night sky, the stars were a bit brighter tonight than they were last night. Kokoa looked around, and there her Big Sister was, Inner Moka, sitting in the exact same spot, reading the exact same book. Kokoa approached her Sister once again, she got up close and sat down beside her once again, "Hey Sis, so how far are you into that book?"

Moka, without even taking her eyes of the book, flipped a page, as she spoke in her usual tone, "Almost done, I'll be done after tomorrow tonight, I'll have it finished by the time I go to sleep tomorrow."

"When did you start reading it?"

"Five days ago, but I never got to come out during our second day here, at Tsukune's house. So this is the fourth night I've been reading the book, why do you want to know?"

Kokoa couldn't help but smile, her Sister was reading the book Tsukune got her, almost religiously, it was actually pretty funny. "What the hell are you smiling at?"

"How you just keep on reading that thing, I bet you haven't even told Tsukune you like it, have you?"

"That's none of your damn Business. Now leave me alone, I'm trying to read."

"Oh come on, we never get to hang out. Your always trapped by that damn Rosary, so I never get to spend time with you. Besides the damn book, and fighting powerful enemies, you never have your Rosary off. I just don't get it, why do you do it? Why do you willingly stay a prisoner in your own body, I know you can't stand it. You want to be you again, you don't want to see everything through someone else's eyes. I know you want to spend time with Tsukune, as you, not as the fake Moka. You said it yourself, you love Tsukune beyond belief, more than the fake you ever could. So, and I want an honest answer damn it, why do you always want to be chained down by the Rosary? You can get Tsukune to take it off, and then you just destroy it, no one would care, Father'd be delighted, so would our other Sisters. So, why?"

Moka put the book down, and her tone changed as she began speaking, "Your wrong, someone would care, in fact, if I destroyed the Rosary, it would break their heart. Tsukune would care, it would break Tsukune's heart, don't you remember? He risked his life to get another Rosary from our Father, so he could be with Outer again. Don't you see dear Sister? Tsukune isn't in love with this Moka, he's in love with the other one, he's in love with the Phantom. And if it's the Phantom he wants, then it'll be the Phantom he gets. I love Tsukune, I really do, with all my heart, so if I must surrender my life and body to an engineered phantom personality to make him happy, I will. That's why I dread taking off the Rosary when I'm not away from him, I want to make him happy, and the only way to do that, is to live my life trapped. So is my fate, and I've accepted it."

A single tear slid down Moka's face, Kokoa couldn't believe what she was hearing, her almighty Sister was giving up everything to make Tsukune happy. She had no idea this was why she kept the Rosary, but before Kokoa could think on it further, Moka bared her fangs, and spoke in a very threatening tone, "And if you ever breathe a word of this to anyone else, especially Tsukune, I'll kill you!"

This surprised the hell out of Kokoa as well, her Sister never threatened to kill anyone, except for Kuyo, she had heard that story from Kurumu, after a bit of persuading, but still. "Sis, you know that's not true. Tsukune loves you too, remember just two days ago he said he loved all of us."

"He was talking about the six of you, he was talking about Outer, Kurumu, Yukari, Ruby, Mizore and You. Not me. I've accepted the truth, so don't try and tell me otherwise. He's sweet, he's kind, he's selfless, he's noble, he's afraid of hurting people, emotionally or physically, and he can't tell any of us no, he's the polar opposite of me, even more so than Outer is. Him and I, could never be, which is why I'll be with him the only way I can, by letting Outer take over, and I'll just watch from the sidelines. That is how it must be, and that's how it will always be. Either accept that fact and start treating Outer as your real Sister, or just leave, because your not going to break the fantasy and allow Tsukune to see that one of the girls he loves doesn't exist, I'll die before I let that happen."

Kokoa couldn't believe what was happening, her Sister was basically forfeiting her happiness and life, for Tsukune's happiness. And she was determined to keep him happy, no matter what, even to the point of death threats. It was just so unlike her, that it was truly mind boggling. Kokoa had to calm down, she had to think over everything, she had to think of what to do, she would discuss this with her Ko buddy. So she stood up, tears trickling down her face, and made her way over to the side of the house. She leaned down, opened the window, slipped through, and closed the window, and entered Tsukune's room, the room she was supposed to sleep in, and that night, she cried herself to sleep.

Day Six

Moka sat on the roof, looking at the night sky, she had come out here a bit early, later she still needed to get Tsukune to take her Rosary off, so Inner could come out and finish the book he had given her. Moka was finally alone, so she could try and talk to her Inner self, since she's been wanting to all day. So she grabbed a hold of her Rosary and brought it to her face, "Inner, can you hear me?"

The Rosary began to glow at Moka's question, "Yes, what is it?"

"I need to talk to you about what you said to Kokoa last night."

Inner was silent for a moment, she couldn't believe Outer knew about that. She didn't have access to Inner's memories, like Inner did of hers. "How do you know about that?"

"It all flashed before my eyes when you put the Rosary back on."

"Strange, this hasn't ever happened before. Perhaps the Rosary's magic is beginning to wear down, if that's the case, we'll need to get it fixed soon enough."

"By who?"

"I don't know, perhaps we could speak to the school Director about it. Father can make a Rosary, but he's never fixed the Rosary's magic by itself, I'm not sure he could fix it. Let alone actually fix it, he probably gave us a weakened Rosary on purpose."

"Maybe, I wouldn't put it past our Dad. But back to the topic at hand, I know everything you said to Kokoa, and it's not true. Tsukune loves you too, remember he said he loved both of us equally, and that he can't live without either one of us."

Inner was silent for a moment, "That's because without me, he'd be dead, he doesn't love me like he does you and the others."

"You know that's not true! He loves you, he said so, and Tsukune's never lied to us before. Maybe if you spent a bit more time with him, then you'd see that. So tomorrow, you and him are going out on a date."

"Excuse me? You want me to go on a date, with Tsukune, in the human world? Outer, have you lost your mind?"

"Of course not! But you need to get out a bit more, and as long as his Parents don't see you, then you and Tsukune can go out on a date. Just like he did with Me, Kurumu, Yukari, and Mizore. You know you want to, and while your out, you can thank him for the book, since you didn't when he gave it to you."

"Outer, what is going on inside this head of ours? Because unlike you, my thoughts aren't crazy like yours are. But if you so insist, then I'll go out on a date with him."

"Good."

"Okay, since that's decided, go get Tsukune to take off the Rosary, I'd like to finish reading the book he gave me, before we go to bed tonight."

"I'll see to it now."

Day Seven

It was about noon when Moka pulled Tsukune away from his Mother and the rest of the girls, and spoke to him in his room, in private. "Yeah, what is it Moka?"

"Well, you see Inner wants to go out on a date, with you."

"Say what?"

It was then when Tsukune realized what Moka was wearing, it was the same dress she wore to the human world on their first field trip, where they had met Ruby.

"Well, you went on a date with almost all of us so far, you had one with Me, one with Kurumu, one with Yukari and one with Mizore. So it's only fair that Inner me gets one with you, right?"

"Well yeah, I just didn't think she was, well the dating type."

"I honestly don't know, I guess you'll just have to find out. So, please take off the Rosary."

"Okay, if that's what you two want."

Tsukune reached up, gripped the Rosary with his right hand, and pulled, yanking the Rosary off her neck, and then the blinding light flooded the room. Once it subsided, where Outer Moka once stood, was Inner Moka, and she looked, strangely calmer than usual. Tsukune opened the desk drawer in his room, put the Rosary in and closed it. He turned back to Inner Moka and smiled, "Okay then, so what would you like to do?"

Inner Moka thought it over as she looked around the room, finally her eyes landed upon Tsukune once more, taking in his appearance, he wore a pair of black slacks, a pair of black dress shoes, his custom black belt, a white, short sleeved, shirt, and a light, black jacket that complimented the rest of his outfit. And then, she spoke, "You not usually supposed to ask the girl your taking out, where to go, your supposed to come up with that yourself. Otherwise, you look stupid."

Tsukune couldn't help but chuckle at that, "Well I'd rather look stupid, than take you out on a bad date."

Moka was silent for a moment, she wasn't exactly expecting a response like that, his confidence was definitely, even if only little by little, growing. "Agreed, I don't like the idea of being taken on a bad date."

"Why don't we just go to a movie? And we can see where it goes after that."

"Fine then, let's go."

Tsukune and Moka managed to get down stairs and get out the front door before anyone noticed. Tsukune and Moka just walked along the sidewalk, in silence, Moka only a few paces behind Tsukune, following him to the nearest movie theater. Tsukune thought the walk was far too quiet, so he tried to start up a conversation, "So Moka, have you gotten a chance to read any of that book I gave you?"

Moka was quiet, they were just walking and he wanted to start up a conversation, she saw no use in it, but decided just to go along with it. "Yes, I finished the book last night."

"Did you like it?"

"It was mildly entertaining."

"Glad you liked it."

Moka looked at Tsukune from behind as if he was stupid, she couldn't help but wonder, "Did he not just hear what I said? I never said I liked it. If it's gotten so bad that he can read my true intentions, I need to start training again, being chained within my own body has made me soft, weak."

After several more seconds of silence, Moka spoke, "Tsukune, thank you, for the book, it was a nice gift."

"Your welcome, Moka. I really am just glad you liked it."

Moka saw no point in continuing the conversation any further, that's when she heard something in the back of her mind, "Ask him about his neighborhood!"

Moka kept quiet about it, but she was surprised by this, especially since the voice sounded like Outer's. But Moka brushed it aside as her mind playing tricks on her. Moka walked up beside Tsukune and intertwined her left hand with his right hand, so they were holding hands. "Tsukune, so tell me about this place, your neighborhood, any fond memories?"

A blush appeared on Tsukune's face as he held hands with Moka, it was an intimate thing, for Inner Moka especially, and he smiled at her question. "Yes actually. Right over there is the park, where Kyouko and I, always used to play together when we were young kids. Over there is the market where my Family always gets our food from, I used to play hide and seek in that building with Kyouko, we played it so much, that we eventually had every one of the employees in on it. You should have seen it, I remember this one guy, who hid me under his cashier stand, and told Kyouko I was in the back by the fruit, leading her away long enough for me to find a new hiding place."

Tsukune couldn't help but chuckle at his statement, remembering the few good times he had when he was a child.

About four hours later, Tsukune and Moka were walking out of the movie theater, and were about to go looking around his neighborhood for something else to do, when Moka noticed someone was following them. Tsukune and Moka walked for about a minute or so, when they reached an alleyway with no one in it, well one person was in it, it was the person following Moka and Tsukune, Moka knew that. The person then called out to the two, more specifically Tsukune, "Well well, if it isn't the old heart breaker, Tsukune Aono."

Tsukune and Moka turned to the alleyway, and there, standing in a pair of jeans with holes in them, a black, tucked in skull shirt, and black sneakers, was Cynthia Markwell. Tsukune froze, and since Moka was holding his hand, she could feel him tense up, and his heart rate increase. Then, so quiet that Cynthia could barely hear it, Tsukune uttered her name, "Cynthia Markwell..."

At the mention of that name, Moka wanted to tear apart the girl in the alleyway, she was the one who betrayed Tsukune, the one who broke his spirit, she could vividly see Outer's memories of that night when Tsukune told her about his past. She had to use every ounce of willpower she held in herself, to not charge the girl, but thanks to the willpower, and the fact that she was human and that they were in the human world, helped stop her. Cynthia smiled a cruel smirk, took a few steps forward, and spoke, "Yes it's me, Cynthia Markwell, and I've been waiting for you to show your face again. I never got to finish breaking your little friend, I'd like to finish that job."

That's when Cynthia noticed Tsukune was not only holding the hand of the girl beside him, he was squeezing it, as if depending on her for comfort or something, Cynthia didn't know. That's when she also noticed how she was looking at Tsukune, as if trying to give him some of the comfort he so desperately needed. Cynthia scowled at this, "And who is this, your new girlfriend?"

That snapped Tsukune out of it, he was going to say something, but Moka did first, "Yes I am, is that a problem?"

Tsukune had a questioning look upon his face as he looked toward Moka, that's when he noticed that she had a little confident smirk on her face. Tsukune then turned his attention back to Cynthia, she was clenching her fists tight, "Oh is that so? And how did you get a girl as beautiful as this? I know you, you don't know a good thing if it bites you on the ass. So how the hell did you end up with her? What is it, is it a one time trial? Is she your new school's slut? Or, is this just some pity date?"

Moka was not going to just stand there and take that, but before she could say anything, Tsukune spoke first, in a very spiteful tone, "Don't ever say anything like that about her again, understand me?"

"Ooooh, is Pussy Aono going to get angry? Remember, I know you Aono, I know everything your capable of. You couldn't get any girl, let alone someone like her. And I know how pathetic you are, so that means that this is a pity date, so how does it feel? Does it feel good to have some girl take pity on you? Trust me, he's not worth your time."

Moka waited a second, to see if Tsukune was going to say something, but he didn't, now that surprised her. She was expecting him to start fighting back, since he had defended her. He had come out of the shell he was hiding in for a long time, so he was supposed to be more outgoing, and not take insults lightly. Then everything clicked, Moka always thought Tsukune was just a shy, reclusive guy, that was his only flaw. But then everything made sense, she had her suspicions, but this proved it. Tsukune had such a low opinion of himself, that he would let anyone walk all over him. But even though that's case, now a days, he wouldn't take much crap from anybody at Yokai academy, because the girls wouldn't allow it. Moka couldn't help but think, "If that's the case, then I'll have to have a talk with him."

Moka took a few steps forward, a confident smirk on her face, she was going to enjoy this. "Show's what you know, Blondie. Listen, I know what happened between you and him five years ago, I know what you did. And it makes me sick, and if I was allowed to, I would crush you into dust for what you did to him. Your just a pathetic, jealous, bitch. But I can't totally blame you, I'd know if he didn't love me, then I'd get pretty upset, but I wouldn't do what you did, because it's unforgivable. But I'll let you slide this time, because..."

Moka's smirk grew a bit, she grabbed Tsukune by the collar of his shirt, pulled him to her, and kissed him forcefully, not like he minded. She pulled away after a second, Tsukune flushed from the kiss, and Moka finished what she was saying, her monster energy flaring up to it's peak as she did, "you may have tried to break him, but trust me when I say, that what you tried to break, is no way in hell broken. Quite the opposite in fact, it's working in top condition. And I gotta say, your missing out. But, if I ever see your face again, I just might tear it off, and not even Tsukune will be able to stop me."

Cynthia looked horrified for a minute, but snapped herself out of it, and she scoffed at Moka as she ran off. But just before she did, she spoke, "This isn't over."

Once Cynthia was out of sight, Moka turned to Tsukune, "Your welcome. But besides that, I gotta say, I enjoyed it."

Tsukune was still a bit shocked and red in the face, "Which one? The kiss, or intimidating Cynthia?"

"Both were equally enjoyable. But now that you mention it, I wouldn't mind another kiss."

Moka grabbed Tsukune by the collar of his shirt again, and pushed him up against the wall, as her lips connected with his, but this time, he was ready for it, slightly. They soon parted, breaking the kiss, both panting from the lack of air, and both were quite red in the face. They both soon returned to Tsukune's house, while Tsukune took a cold shower, Moka got her Rosary and put it back on. And the rest of the day, Moka complained that Inner went too far on their date, showing a bit of her jealous side.
