Chapter 5

Tsukune caught Moka before she hit the ground after replacing her rosary. This time though, she was awake from the start unlike before when she would normally be out for a couple minutes after replacing the rosary.

Moka looked up to see Tsukune was holding her up in his arms. Once she fully realized her position, she jumped to her feet and looked at him with a blush. "Thank you for catching me Tsukune."

Tsukune smiled at her "No problem Moka-san." He then looked at everyone else "How about we go get something to eat, I'm starving." Everyone nodded in agreement.

They made their way to the cafeteria and they all got meals and sat down. They started conversations about different things that happened in classes that day. Kurumu remembering that Tsukune was absent for most of the classes asked "Hey Tsukune, why did you skip your other classes today?"

Tsukune did a nervous jump 'Darn I was hoping they would not bring it up, what should I say?' Tsukune sat nervously trying to think of an excuse. "I… um… was feeling sick so I went to the infirmary and the nurse let me stay out of classes today, but I feel fine now so don't worry." Tsukune finished, hoping the others believed it. When he saw the looks on their faces, he could clearly see they did not believe his story but they remained silent about it for now.

After eating Tsukune decided to get the homework that he missed from class "See you later everyone, I have to go pick up the homework I missed today." With that Tsukune left the group.

When Tsukune was out of sight, Kurumu, Yukari, and Mizore all turned to Moka. "Moka! What happened to Tsukune today?" They all asked at once which startled Moka.

"What do you mean, didn't Tsukune say he felt sick. So you already know what happened." Moka said trying to convince them that she did not know anything.

They were not buying it. Kurumu spoke for the group "We are not stupid, we know that's not the reason, and we know you know the real reason so fess up, what is going on?"

Usually this would make Moka nervous, but Tsukune had put his trust in her to keep his situation a secret from the other girls and she was determined to follow thru on her promise. "You should just trust Tsukune more. If he wanted us to us to know what was really going on, don't you think he would have told us? We just need to be patient and wait till he is ready to tell us." 'Sorry everyone, but I promised Tsukune.' Moka thought to herself.

This made Kurumu even angrier "I am not buying that for one second! I know you know the truth because Inner Moka was unsealed earlier, so what about that huh?" Kurumu was clearly showing she was not happy by getting in Moka' face while asking her question. Yukari and Mizore just stood back and let Kurumu be their voice.

Moka took a step back to create some distance between them. "Oh that. Ura-san wanted to talk to Tsukune. I am not sure about what she wanted to speak to him about and I don't remember what they talked about because my memories are always fuzzy when Ura-san is unsealed so I can't help you there." Moka finished. 'Sorry, I don't like having to lie to everyone but you will find out soon."

Kurumu puffed out her face in aggravation. She knew she was not going to get anything out of Moka. "Fine! You don't want to tell me that is your choice, but if anything happens to my Tsukune, I am blaming you for it." Kurumu said.

'Well this really is my fault for what is happening to Tsukune. I would feel sad except Tsukune is happy about it, so I will be happy too. And besides now that he will be a vampire, we might finally be able to be together!' Moka blushed at the last part of her thought but was quickly banished from the arrival of Tsukune.

"Hey everyone! It seems I didn't miss much Homework after all." Tsukune said in a kind of cheery voice while waving with his right arm, the holy lock showing along with the small rosary. 'Actually I was excused from all of the homework when the chairman informed Ms. Nekonome of my situation. I just hope she can keep it a secret as well.' Tsukune thought.

The girls were startled by Tsukune' sudden and cheery appearance. Kurumu, Yukari, and Mizore were just staring at him not saying anything. Yukari' reason for her silence however was because of what she saw.

Yukari had noticed Tsukune' holy lock was slightly off. She saw that he now had a very small rosary attached to it. She decided to not to say anything about it until she could get Kurumu and Mizore alone. She then spoke up "Oh yah, that's right. Hey Kurumu, Mizore, can you help me with something in my room?" She stood in front of them with her back facing Tsukune and Moka so they could not see her wink when she spoke to the two girls.

Catching on quickly, Kurumu and Mizore agreed "Sure thing Yukari, let's go." They started walking but were stopped by Moka.

"Hey Yukari, do you need my help?" Moka asked.

"No thanks Moka. Kurumu and Mizore will be fine." With that the three girls left, leaving behind Moka and Tsukune.

"Well that was strange. Anyway would you like me to walk you to your dorm Moka-san?" Tsukune asked with a smile.

Moka blushed at his offer "Su-Sure Tsukune That would be nice."

Tsukune still wore his smile and nodded. They began walking and discussing what Yukari might have needed help with, but came up with few possibilities. They reached the front doors of the girl's dorm and they turned to face each other both wearing a smile. "Well here you go Moka-san, see you tomorrow. Oh! One last thing. Ms. Nekonome was informed about my 'situation' by the chairman. I just thought you would want to know that." Tsukune finished.

"Thanks Tsukune for telling me, and see you tomorrow."

Tsukune started walking and waved his goodbye to Moka. Moka did not move until Tsukune was out of sight then she went into the dorms.

Tsukune went into his room and strait to his bed. He lay in it staring at his ceiling in thought. 'Even after lunch my hunger is still there. I need to keep my thirst under control; I don't want to hurt Moka-san. I just have to fight it for two more days.' After finishing that thought he closed his eyes and went to sleep.
