The Shadow

By: Burning Blood

Summary: When Moka injects Tsukune with her blood instead of giving him vampire powers it awoke something in his very soul something not seen for centuries a shadow that walks in the light.

Chapter 2: Tears of Pure Darkness

Tsukune awoke silently not a sound or a move was made as he roused from his dreamless sleep. He slowly started to take in his surroundings. He noticed the window off to his left allowing the sunlight to shine through. He noticed that the door was completely shut and locked tightly. He noticed the silver hair of Moka lying on his chest, and how every time she took a deep breath he could feel her larger than average breast push into his chest. Tsukune couldn't help but inwardly groan.

'Don't nose bleed or else it will get worse.' Tsukune thought drawing an emotionless chuckle from the back of his mind.

'Better.' The voice said causing Tsukune to inwardly groan again.

'You're not helping!' Tsukune yelled in his mind making the other voice to chuckle.

'Sure I am what type of strange voice inside your head would I be if I didn't help you out with our little blood sucker?' The voice asked with unheard amusement.

'The type that knew not to piss me off if he wants to not be behind a seal, and from what I'm feeling right now she is anything but little.' Tsukune hollered with slight aggravation and some humor.

'Touché touché' The voice chuckled.

'Good now be quiet before she wakes u…' Tsukune's thoughts were cut off as two thin fangs broke the skin of his neck.

"Mmm Damn it Moka-san when did you wake up?" Tsukune said looking at the two red eyes glaring at him for interrupting her breakfast.

"Well it was kind of hard to sleep when I felt what appeared to be a silver steak poking me in the thigh and stomach…you wouldn't know anything about that now would you Tsukune?" Moka asked coyly. Tsukune kept on an innocent face as it was natural of his species.

"Why no Moka-san I have no idea what you are talking about." Tsukune said still keeping up his innocent façade. Moka gave off an evil grin.

"Oh really so you're saying this doesn't belong to you…maybe I should find who it does." She said as she reached down and rubbed him through his jeans. Moka, to this day, doesn't know how he did it, but one minute he was under her pinned by pleasure and the next she was caught under him her body pinned under his, those black eyes glaring daggers at her.

"I don't think so. Now lets get one thing straight you wish to own me and I allowed you to do so, however if I ever so much as see you touch another guy like you just did me I'll kill him do you understand Moka-san?" Tsukune said his voice showing that this was more then a threat. Moka smiled a sexy smile as she felt the power of the Rouge be released however none of the influence of the killer.

"Oh really and what if I say no what will you do?" Moka asked and playfully struggled. Tsukune gave off a cocky grin and said.

"I'll show you your place just like I am right now…I belong to you for now…however soon I will be the owner and then I will never have that problem again…because when I'm done with you…you won't ever want another man to touch you…after all…you still haven't finished breakfast." Moka smiled and latched herself back onto his neck breaking the skin allowing the warm life saving liquid rush into her eager and hungry mouth. Moka had to hold back a moan as she felt Tsukune's blood flow over her tongue and down her throat. Tsukune groaned as confusion ran through his mind.

'Why did I say stuff like that I don't want to kill anybody.' Tsukune thought worry resonating through out his mind.

'Don't you?' An emotionless voice echoed from the back of his mind again.

'Wha…no why would I want to kill anybody!' Tsukune yelled into his mind frantically.

'How about to protect what you feel belongs to you, or to remove a threat to yourself, OR to fix an injustice would you not kill for these things? Would you not listen to what runs in your very blood and soul? Or would you wish to lose Moka to someone like Kuyou who could hurt her? Would you allow that to happen?' The voice responded his words cold and calculated.

'NO! NEVER!' Tsukune hollered incredulously.

'Good then when Moka-san heals tell me and we will begin our…journey of discovery for if you wished to call it anything it would be that.' The voice responded knowledge showing in its voice.

'What are we going to try and discover?' Tsukune asked curiously.

'You shall see when Moka-san is healed until then take care of her my emotional side for you will need her when the time comes.' The emotionless voice said with a chuckle and then receded into the depths of Tsukune's was confused at what his Assassins soul just said, but he didn't have time to think on it as he felt Moka release his neck from her succulent lips. Tsukune watched as she ran her long tongue across her rose petal smooth lips, and gave a thoughtful frown.

"Hmm…you know eventually I'm going to have to put the Rosario back on you…what happens then?" Tsukune asked with a raised eyebrow. Moka looked up at him an undignified frown gracing her face as if she had been insulted.

"You fool did you really think I didn't think of that…no I knew that I would have to be sealed eventually however not even that stupid Rosario will keep me from you for long my little shadow because after all until you learn to control your abilities you still can't fight someone to strong." Tsukune just had to smile at the slightly conceded way she had said that. Suddenly an idea hit Tsukune like a ton of bricks. Tsukune smiled lovingly down at the silver haired bloodsucker.

"Tell me Moka-san how would you like to learn how to swim?" Tsukune asked causing Moka to glare at him in anger.

"I can't touch water without getting hurt you fool remember." Moka growled in anger making Tsukune chuckle.

"You let me worry about that." Tsukune said stroking her hair. Moka glared at him but went with it. Tsukune stood from his place over Moka and offered her his hand. Knocking the offered hand aside Moka stood on her own her pride still not allowing her to accept help from something she owned. Tsukune chuckled but started towards the door when he heard the sound of metal hitting against metal and a large suppression of power. Tsukune turned around knowing what happened, but was confused. He couldn't believe his ears when he heard.

"Here is the perfect chance to win her over Tsukune don't disappoint me." Tsukune smiled as he saw Moka's hair return to its usual light pink color. Subconsciously converting some of his energy into speed Tsukune appeared beside Moka just in time to catch her as she fell. Looking at the sealed vampire Tsukune gave a soft smile.

"Good to have you back Moka-chan." Tsukune said lovingly. Moka looked up at Tsukune and gave off that cute smile she had.

"Tsukune what are you doing in my room?" Moka asked in innocent confusion. Tsukune smiled at her innocence, a complete contrast to the seductive and manipulative unsealed Moka.

"I was asking if you would like to learn how to swim so you can go swimming with me?" Tsukune asked causing Moka to again give off an unbearably cute confused face.

"But I can't touch water?" Moka said innocently drawing a chuckle from Tsukune.

"You let me take care of that now come on I have everything set up." Tsukune said and pulled the pink haired vampire towards the door. Confused Moka followed Tsukune to where ever he was taking her. After about five minutes of walking they arrived at the school pool, which again confused Moka. Moka turned towards Tsukune with the intent to ask him what was going on only to stop. There in front of her was Tsukune stripping off his shirt to show the outline of a six-pack and pectoral muscles, his arms showed a little definition but noting to extreme. Tsukune smiled at the light blush the girl had on her normally pale face.

"What's the matter Moka-chan don't you want to learn to swim?" Tsukune asked portraying innocents, even though he knew what he was doing to the girl. Moka nodded although she avoided eye contact.

"I…I don't have…anything to wear." Moka responded nervously drawing a light chuckle from the brown eyed boy.

"Don't worry about it I asked Nekonome-sensie to pick you up something and leave it in your gym locker so how about we both go get changed and then I'll teach you how to swim…okay?" Tsukune asked reassuringly. Moka nodded and headed towards the girls changing room. Opening the locker Moka saw what was supposed to be her swimsuit…well…I wouldn't really call it a swimsuit as all it was, was two cloth triangles barley big enough to cover the nipples held together and on by thin strings, and a thong bikini. Moka looked at the article of clothing and blushed.

'I can't wear this in front of Tsukune-kun what would he think of me I mean…' Moka thought, unintentionally contacting her inner self.

'What is the problem you like the boy don't you?' The cold voice of her other half asked.

'Yes Tsukune is my precious friend of course I like him, but if he saw me in this…I'd never be able to look him in the eyes again.' Moka said nervousness resonating throughout her mind.

'Do you not trust him?' Her other half asked, seriousness showing in her voice.

'Of course I trust him but…' Moka started to say only to get cut off.

'No you don't or else you would not be thinking that he would change his opinion of you because of something you wore when you never had a saw in the matter of what to buy.' Her unsealed self said showing a slight amount of anger.

'I…I guess so.' Without further argument Moka slowly stripped herself of her school uniform and put on the skimpy article of clothing.

Tsukune watched as Moka slowly and hesitantly stepped out of the girls changing room in her swimsuit. Tsukune's mind stopped as he took in her form. Tsukune's eyes traveled from her long seemingly endless legs to her wide hips. Tsukune slowly licked his lips as he took in her flat stomach and the soft curve of her breast, which was accentuated by her clasping her hands in front of her. Tsukune's eyes finally found their way to her face and a smile found its way onto his lips. Wiping the blood from his nose Tsukune chuckled.

"I should have known this would happen." Tsukune said slightly shaking his head. Confused Moka tilted her head cutely to the side causing Tsukune to chuckle.

"Nekonome-sensie thinks that we are together so I should have known she would try something like this…how about this tomorrow I'll bring you over a couple of human clothing store catalogs and I'll by you a new one." Tsukune asked showing sincerity. Moka quickly hid her blush and nodded. Tsukune walked up and took her hand into his own.

"Follow me." Tsukune said, slowly led her towards the edge of the pool, and walked in one step at a time. Tsukune suddenly felt a pull on his hand and looked up to see Moka standing not two inches away from the water, a terrified look on her face.

"I…I don't think…I have to go." Moka said and tried to get away only to run strait into some ones chest. Looking up at who it was she was surprised to see the warm chocolate eyes of Tsukune looking back at her.

"But…but how did?" Moka stuttered confused. Tsukune gave a soft smile.

"Do you trust me?" Tsukune asked softly and soothingly.

"Of course I trust you but I…" She was cut off as Tsukune pulled her into a hug.

"Then please at least touch the water if you don't want to get into the pool afterwards then I will understand but please at least try and touch the water…for me." Tsukune whispered sweetly into the girl's ear. Moka nodded into his chest and turned back towards the water. As she reached the waters edge she turned back towards Tsukune to see him smiling softly at her. Moka closed her eyes and lowered her foot into the water expecting the shocking feeling of her discharge of power, however her eyes flew open as the feeling of warm water started lap at her ankles. Eyes wide with surprise she whipped her head around toward Tsukune to see him smiling happily.

"So do you still wish to learn to swim Moka-chan?" Tsukune asked coyly gaining a confused look from Moka.

"How am I able to touch the water I thought that…" Moka asked only to get cut off by the brunet's chuckle.

"About a week ago I went and asked Nekonome-sensie about switching the pools water with herbal water using the fact that some monsters can't come in contact with pure water and that it would slow down the mermaids plan to attack people, if they try that again…I finished switching the water out a day before the whole Kuyou incident and I was hoping you would let me teach you how to swim…so Moka-chan do you still wish to learn how to swim?" Tsukune asked unfolding his arms. Moka couldn't help but let a few tears fall from her gorgeous eyes as he said those things.

Tsukune couldn't hold in his laughter as Moka almost tackled him into a hug while repeatedly saying the word yes. The world was right for the next couple of hours Tsukune taught Moka how to do the butterfly the breaststroke and how to tread water. They also got into a splash fight, which Moka thought was the most fun thing she has ever done.

Finally getting out of the pool Tsukune turned towards Moka to see her bent over trying to catch her breath giving him an unintentional perfect view of her shapely ass. Trying to hold in a nosebleed Tsukune stuttered.

"So Moka-chan how about we get you back into bed after all you aren't completely healed from your fight with Kuyou." Hearing this Moka smiled and nodded. Quickly changing both were on their way back towards Moka's Dorm, Tsukune offering to accompany her.

As they walked in silence Tsukune couldn't help but feel as if something was about to happen. Tsukune hated that feeling, the feeling of being watched. The cold shiver of being hunted as something stalks its prey. Tsukune brushed off the feeling as paranoia because of what has happened lately. The quiet of the moonlit night was broken as Moka screamed in what appeared to be pain. Whipping around Tsukune couldn't believe his eyes there in front of him was a man that looked remarkably like Kuyou only instead of four tail made of fire coming out of his tail bone there were seven. Standing behind the seven tailed Kitsune was another, much younger, fox that only possessed three tails. Tsukune's eyes were drawn towards the person dangling from the Elder Fox's hand. Akashiya Moka had been caught. The Kitsune glared at Tsukune with hatred in his eyes.

"So you are the one who made my son grovel for forgiveness…and to this bitch." The fox growled out in anger. Tsukune hardened his eyes as the seven tailed fox threw Moka towards the three-tailed kittling behind him.

"Yeah so what not my fault your son was a son of a bitch on a power trip I just knocked him down a few pegs." Tsukune said with a smirk. This comment made the younger fox growl.

"Don't you dare talk to the lord that way if I weren't busy holding this little slut of a vampire I would…" He never got to finish his sentence as what felt to be a great pressure was pushed onto his shoulders.

"Never…and I mean NEVER…call Moka-chan a slut she is the most pure being on this planet and you should feel honored to even be in her presence." Tsukune yelled his hair slowly bleeding to white. The young kitsune, over coming his fear, smirked at the Rouge.

"Oh really then maybe I should just take that purity away from her…" The Kitsune didn't get to say any more as a hand wrapped itself around his throat. Looking along the hand towards its owner the kitsune's golden eyes locked with what appeared to be endless voids of pure black hatred.

"Release her…NOW!" Tsukune's voice spoke with anger that resonated through the Fox's mind. The kitsune acted on his instinct to survive and released Moka. Tsukune grinned as he felt Moka slide into his free arm and hold herself tightly to his chest. Tsukune turned his cold black eyes back towards the fox and grinned.

"You listened so I'll spare your life this time fox, but should you every try something like this again…You had better hope whatever god is up there loves you." Tsukune said menacingly as he vibrated his hand at an unbelievable speed. This vibration caused the young kitsune to slip a spinal disk, making him fall to the floor temporarily paralyzed. Tsukune spat at the fallen kitsune, cocked his head, and glared coldly at the elder fox. The Kitsune couldn't help but smile at the Rouge's anger.

"Oh so you hold that little slut in a special place…what is it does she suck your cock well…or is it that she could give you a great boob job with those pillows she calls breast?" The Elder Kitsune taunted laughing as Tsukune's eyes darkened.

"Oh did I hit a nerve…maybe after I kill you I'll take her home and allow my clan to have their way with her…after all a vampires pussy has to be the best." As those words passed the older fox's mouth a strange feeling loneliness passed over the elderly fox.

"NO ONE…TALKS…THAT…WAY…ABOUT…MOKA-CHAN!" Tsukune yelled allowing more of his dark energy to escape and encompass the area. The elder Kitsune went wide-eyed as the energy encompassed the moon and stars stealing all light from the world. Moka watched in aw as the cloths that Tsukune wore were torn from him and ripped to sheds leaving him completely naked for a minute causing blood to escape from Moka's nose. Moka watched in fascination as shadows of the darkest black slowly crept up Tsukune's body. Moka couldn't help but worry as the shadows covered Tsukune in a cocoon of darkness.

"What the hell is this Boy! Do you think this will stop me!" The elder Kitsune yelled only for two voices to chuckle in unison from inside the solid black cocoon. Moka was broken out of her nervousness as the feeling of something wet hit her cheek. Jumping slightly Moka touched where the wetness had formed and brought it in front of her face. Through the little light, provided by the elder Kitsune's tails, Moka was able to see a black liquid on her fingers. Moka brought the liquid to her nose and took a small whiff.

"Salt…Tears…" As she said that her eyes went wide as the stories her mother told her about the Rouge's started coming back to her. Moka's eyes were drawn towards the black cocoon. As she stared at the shadows she whispered words long since forgotten to the outside world.

"When matters of the heart over power the mind, and tears of pure darkness falls out of a clear blue sky, the monster awakens, the thief, the seducer, the assassin, The…Rouge." As if her words held some type of magic to them, the shadows exploded off of Tsukune reveling the true form of the Rouge. Dressed in tight brown leather pants, a brown leather vest with a cowl attached guarded his chest and lower face from view, his bracers were made of a light blue leather, two pitch black curved daggers were strapped to the back of his hips blades crossing in the back and the handles pointing towards the ground, and finally a hooded cloak made out of what would appear to be living shadows clamped together at his neck with a suspiciously familiar looking Rosario. The hood of the cloak was up hiding his stark white hair from view only allowing the glowing darkness of his eyes to appear out of the shadow of his cloak. Fear and loneliness encompassed the Elder Fox as he heard one cold and emotionless voice and one angry and heated voice speak in unison.

"You will leave this place and never return, but before you do that you will grovel for forgiveness at Moka-chan's feet and hope you are worthy of her forgiveness." The voices spoke causing the Elder Kitsune to growl.

"I am not as weak as my son so watch what you say boy lest you loose your tongue." The Elder Kitsune said in a gutteral voice causing the two voices to chuckle.

"I will admit you aren't as weak as your son I will give you that however…" Tsukune disappeared and a cold whisper entered the fox's ear.

"…you're still weaker than me." With that Tsukune disappeared again moving to fast for anyone to see. The kitsune whipped his head around wildly trying to find the guile little creature called Tsukune.

"What is the matter you fur scarf am I to fast for you? Huh all your talk about being all big and bad ain't worth shit now is it?" The two voices resonated through out the darkness. The Kitsune finally had enough, spinning in a circle he let loose a stream of fire from his tails burning everything around him. Looking around him the kitsune saw burning wood and ash, but nothing else.

"Ha not so might now are you, you little pest I knew you were all talk." The kitsune froze stiff as he felt someone lean backwards against his back and two overlapping voices say.

"Yeah I'll admit that fucking tree won't ever back talk you again." The kitsune whorled around trying to catch the boy behind him, only to hit air. Looking around confused the kitsune's eyes widened to comedic levels as he felt the chill of cold steel press into his throat.

"Now then like I said a simple apology and then run away with your tail between your legs and then we'll call all of this even." The two overlapping voices said drawing a growl from the Elder Kitsune.

"No…Never I am…" THe elder Kitsune started only for two overlaping voices to cut him off.

"From a proud and noble family and I will never beg for forgiveness yes I've heard it all before. Now then let me give you the same words of advise I gave your son. A prideful death is…still…death. So if you wish to continue this little escapade I'll slit your throat right now and turn you into a fucking coat for Moka-chan's birthday." Tsukune threatened and pulled the steel of his blade closer to the fox's neck. The Elder Kitsune nodded and still with the blade at his throat knelt before Moka, grasped her hand, and said.

"I am sorry I had attacked a lady and for that I apologize." Now again this seamed the right thing to do to the elder kitsune however he knew something was wrong when he heard.

"Déjà vu." Cocking his head up he saw black mirth filled eyes.

"Strike one, you're touching her. Strike two you looked up her skirt on the way down. And strike three…"

"You chauvinistic Pervert!" The Kitsune never saw the kick coming until it hit him in the face. Tsukune chuckled as black eyes met green. Chuckling Tsukune picked Moka up Bridal style and using his energy he sped them towards Moka's dorm.

Arriving in her room Tsukune set Moka down on the bed. Tsukune stood from his spot and quickly giving Moka an unseen smile he turned to leave. His exit was obstructed however by a soft hand gasping his wrist. Turning towards the hand he saw Moka hiding her face trying to look as small as possible.

"Um…Tsukune…would you…would you stay here for tonight…" Moka asked nervously. Tsukune turned towards her and with the sound of shattering glass his true appearance faded way to the kind Tsukune she was use to, his warm chocolate colored eyes that made her think everything was going to be alright, his wild and spiky brown hair, and his prim and proper and somehow repaired uniform. Tsukune knelt down next to her bed and grasped her hand in his.

"Now why would you want me to do that Moka-chan? I think we both need our sleep after tonight's little escapades as well as you're still not completely healed." Tsukune said in a soothing voice only for Moka to turn her head away from him.

"I…I don't want to be alone after the things they said they were going to…going to do." Moka said nervously making Tsukune's eyes gain a dark look. His eyes quickly regained their softness however as he looked into Moka's green eyes.

"Moka-chan I'll stay with you here tonight if you wish however I want you to know I would never and I mean never allow some one to do what those two said they were going to do to you…you know that right?" Moka gave off a smile and nodded. Tsukune was about to grab a chair to sit in when he felt to feminine but soft arms pull him into the bed. Tsukune turned to look at the perpetrator only to see a blushing Moka. Tsukune smiled and wrapped his arm around the pink haired girl. Moka smiled and snuggled into the chest of her hero. 'My seducer, my thief, my assassin, my Rouge, my…tears of pure darkness.'
