Part 20
The next day…
"Okay, so you're saying that Moka's stalker has threatened to kill her at the opening ceremony?" Usagi said, as she listens to Moka and her friends, while reading a note shaped like a bat.
"That's right, Miss Rantsu," Tsukune said.
Usagi looks up at the pink-haired vampire, who was teary-eyed.
"Her stalker won't let up on the notes," Mizore said between licks.
"I was up all night," Moka whined.
"What should we do?" Kurumu said. "All we know is that her stalker is related to Moka's in some way."
"And that she was a freshman," Yukari said.
"What are we going to do?" Tsukune asked.
Usagi was tempted to comfort Moka, but she knew that if she did, everyone would know her personal connection to the girl's past…
"Well, there is nothing that anyone can do right now, except be on guard at the opening ceremony this morning," Usagi said, as she puts down the note card.
"If you insists, Miss Rantsu," Moka said.
"Look at this way," Usagi said with a smile. "With the entire school in the main gymnasium, what could possible go wrong?"
An hour later…
BAM!
"Oh, dear," Usagi said, as she sees an orange-haired freshman tussling with two older teenagers. Everyone at the Youkai Academy had human guises, and the girl's attackers were no different. The first boy turned out to be a Frankenstein monster, a rarity these days when factoring the fact that such creations have evolved into genetic engineering and cloning experiments, rather than created from sewn together body parts. The second boy was a classic Cyclops. Both monsters were huge in comparison to the rest of the "normal" faculty.
"Nyah, nyah!" the orange-haired girl said, as she leaps and dodges the intended blows. "You can't catch me!"
"Come back here!" yelled the Frankenstein.
"Yes, so I can make you my wife!" yelled the Cyclops.
"We got to get out of here, Moka!" Tsukune said, as he attempts to pull Moka away from the scene, only to accidentally pull off Moka's silver cross…
"What?" Usagi said, as she realized that the talisman she had placed around Moka's neck had been removed. And when that happened, a startling change occurred…
FLASH!
Moka was enveloped by crimson light, as she began to change…
"Huh?" said the orange haired girl, as she sees this change.
And when it was the transformation sequence was all over, the true form of Moka stands revealed.
"Humph," Moka-sama said, as she brushes aside her long, gray hair. She then turns to see Tsukune.
"Tsukune," Moka-sama said with a gentle smile.
"M-moka-san!" Tsukune said with a smile.
Moka-sama then turns her direction towards Usagi.
"You…I will deal with later," Moka-sama said with a growl. She then walks towards the monsters that were tearing up the school gym…
This wasn't lost on anyone.
'Wait,' Tsukune thought. 'Does Miss Rantsu and Moka-sama know each other…?"
As Moka-sama slowly walks towards the Frankenstein and the Cyclops, they noticed her evil aura.
"Such…strength!" said the Frankenstein.
"Such POWER!" said the Cyclops.
Meanwhile, the young freshmen girls became infatuated with the legendary Moka-sama. Apparently, her reputation as a monster fighter was already known.
"She will be our new Big Sister!" screamed one girl with glee.
"YAY!" screamed the other girls, as they all began to converge on Moka-sama. However-
"ENOUGH!" Moka-sama roared, causing everyone to stand still. "You are now freshmen. ACT like it!"
And with that, Moka-sama performed to powerful crescent kicks to the two monsters. The force of the kicks alone created a tornado effect that scatters the student body.
"YAHHH-!" screams everyone.
"Ya-HA!" said Gin, as he gleefully takes panty-shots of the female students. Gin was the president of the Newspaper Club, but he spends much of his time peeping.
"What strength-"
WHAM!
"Not today, Gin-sempai," Kurumu said with annoyance, after Yukari conjures up a flying skillet to hit Gin on the head…
Meanwhile, Moka-sama leaps into the air, performs a backward somersault and lands on the podium that sat on the staging area. When she does, the piñata opens up with a welcome sign. Afterwards, Moka-sama picks up the microphone.
"UNDERSTAND?" Moka-sama.
"YEEEEESSSSSSSS!" the student body cheered.
Moka-sama smiles. Hopefully, they get the point of her demonstration…
Afterwards, with Moka back to normal, everyone trade notes.
"Moka, are you okay?" Tsukune said.
"I…I guess so," Moka said with unease.
"What's wrong?" Yukari asked.
"That girl that was being chased by those monsters," Moka said. "I…I know her."
"As you should," said a voice from behind.
Everyone turns to see the orange haired girl standing in front of the main doorway to the gym.
"I wrote them, after all," the girl sneered.
"Actually, I wrote them," said a little bat, as he flutters on the orange-haired girl's should.
"Okay, I dictated the notes," the girl said. "But still…"
"Who ARE you?" Kurumu said.
"Guys, this one was the stalker I saw last night," Mizore said, as ice forms into claws.
"You're the one to talk, number one stalker," the girl said.
"Everyone, run," Moka said with a hint of fear.
"But why, Moka?" Tsukune said, as he turns to face his friend.
"Because…because SHE is my sister!" Moka cried.
"SISTER?" everyone screamed.
"That's RIGHT!" the girl said. "After all this time, I've finally caught up with you…"
For a long time, Moka and her friends stare down at the strange freshman teenager…
"Who are you?" Tsukune asked nervously.
"I, Kokoa, will erase YOU from living memory!" Kokoa yells, as she leaps for an attack.
"Run!" Moka yells, as she forces everyone down.
THOOM!
Kokoa slams through a series of trees, while glowing a crimson aura…
"Huh, I missed," Kokoa said, as she picks up a large tree trunk. "But I won't for long."
"Such power," Yukari said. "She's is close to Moka-sama's level!"
"You think?" Kumuru said.
Meanwhile…
Usagi was grading papers in her office, when she noticed a spike in dark energy.
"So, little Kokoa is at it again," Usagi said, as she closes her grading notebook.
"Miss Rantsu?" said a voice from the doorway to her office.
Usagi looks up to see Ruby standing there. She works as a…
"Huh," Usagi said to herself. Well, she doesn't know WHAT Ruby does around the campus. She does know that she is a friend of Tsukune.
"Miss Rantsu, I have some additional paperwork for you to feel out," Ruby said, as she adjusted her glasses. "You know, standard tax revenue stuff."
"Of course," Usagi said, as she puts her pen away. "I'll fill that stuff out, while you can come with me."
"Um, okay," said Ruby, as she followed Usagi out the door…
A few minutes later, Usagi and Ruby sees Kokoa fighting with the others.
"Isn't that Kokoa Shusen?" Ruby asked.
"You know her?" Usagi asked.
"Other than being Moka Akashiya's half-sister."
"Right," Usagi said, as she turns towards Kokoa in full. "KOKOA! CEASE!"
Everything screech towards a halt, as all eyes turn towards Usagi and-
"Ruby?" Tsukune said.
"What?" Kokoa replied tersely.
"Go to YOUR homeroom. NOW."
"Ergh!" Kokoa growled. She then turns towards Moka and her friends.
"This isn't over!"
And, with that, Kokoa runs away.
"That was close," Tsukune said, as he gets up.
"Let me look at you," Usagi said, as she examines the head wound. "You better get to the nurse."
"I can take him there," Ruby said with a smile.
"No, we want to go with him-"Kurumu said.
"No, the rest of you get to the homeroom," Usagi said, as she points in the direction of the class.
"Ah, no fair!" Yukari said.
"Wait," Tsukune said, as he looks around. "Where's Mizore?"
"Probably stalking again," Kurumu said with a smirk.
"Now, get moving," Usagi said.
"But Tsukune-" Moka said.
"I'll be fine," Tsukune said with a smile.
"Oh, okay," Moka said half-heartedly, as she followed the others to class.
When Usagi was alone, the Moon Princess sighed. She wondered if what she did years ago was a good idea after all…
FLASHBACK!
1890.
Princess Dracul surveyed the valley that belonged to her family within the Tzcimice clan, from the vantage point of Castle Dracula. Although there was a dark beauty that the Princess could appreciate, there was only one thing on her mind…
"Ranma's going to KILL me," Usagi said with a sigh, as she felt her bulging belly.
When she first arrived at the estate, Usagi was a prisoner of the infamous vampire immortal Prince Vlad. He, like he did with his other brides, had his way with her while under his control. However, unlike the others, SHE was the one to get pregnant. She had spoken to the Elders of her vampire clan, and was told that on rare occasions, a vampire can get pregnant. Offspring of such unions tend to age slowly before reaching permanent maturity. Furthermore, she learned that Vlad had two other daughters, one of which she knew…
"Usagi," said a familiar voice.
Usagi turns towards Lilith, who was one of those daughters.
"What?" Usagi said with an annoyance.
"Careful," said the dark-haired beauty, as she saunters up. "You're un-living for two now."
"I still can't believe your father is so…potent for an undead guy."
"I could have told you that," Lilith said.
"Then, why didn't you?" Usagi asked, as her eyes glowed red.
"You didn't ask?"
"…"
"And besides, I think you LIKE being pregnant."
"Why is that?"
"I see an inner glow in you."
Usagi tilts her head slightly.
"That's because my child is already at the master vampire level, in terms of pure power. The Elders believe that my daughter might surpass her father in that regard."
"That could be a problem," Lilith said.
"No kidding. I know for a fact that you won't like a new rival, and Vlad, in spite of being in the Hellsing family's 'care', could go after our daughter as he typically does you and your sister."
"Then, what are you going to do?"
Usagi looks out into the darkness.
"First, I will have to tell Ranma about this latest…development."
"You think he'll be upset or something?"
"Yeah, I do. Not because I had…an intimate encounter with someone he hates, but having to live with the fact that another one of my children isn't HIS."
"Really."
"Really. And, secondly, I will have to develop a way to seal my daughter's powers, if she ends up being a problem later on."
Lilith looks out towards the direction of the endless night.
"You got a lot of work to do."
"No, kidding."
END FLASHBACK!
"And to think Vlad escaped Hellsing's custody long enough to have yet another daughter," Usagi said with a sigh.
Over the years, Usagi had to keep her daughter Moka in line, by sealing her into the body of a child. She managed to use a inverse ritual, using a cross as the focus, based upon the principles of the Happo-Yen Shiatsu, a technique that Ranma knew well. The modified version drew energy out of the victim, reducing him or her to child status. In Moka's particular case, Usagi has done this to her daughter several times. The only reason why she doesn't seal away her power permanently was based upon the belief that Moka could change, no matter how naïve that belief may be.
"Oh, well," Usagi said, as she heads back to her class. "I'll deal with the fallout whenever…"
