After a minute or two Tsukune pulled away from Moka and looked at her. "That was… delicious," he whispered softly. Moka looked at Tsukune and simply giggled. 'I guess that was fair because of all the times I drank his blood,' she thought as she bit her lip, 'He only has two hours until the final phase of the transformation undergoes.'
Flash Back
Moka and Ruby stood across from the headmaster as he spoke. "The final hours of transformation, that is when Tsukune will be most dangerous. I warn you two now that you have to do everything in your power to restrain him from harming others. When the final stage begins the power inside will begin to well up and overflow from his body, the restraints he is wearing now might be able to restrain him. If need be we may need to seal him in a room alone until it finishes."
Moka sat in shock as the tears fell into her lap. She couldn't believe she was the cause for all that Tsukune will go through. Ruby looked up and spoke inquisitively, "Sir what if Tsukune cannot create a human form on his own? The rules state that all students must remain in their human forms unless under special circumstances."
At this the headmaster laughed loudly, "He will be able to take human form obviously. He will no longer be human but because he once was human he will easily be able to take human form. That brings me to a graver topic though, Tsukune's family. I know he plans on visiting them next time your class visits the human world Moka. His family must not know what he has become and it will be even more difficult for Tsukune to control his hunger when surrounded by humans. That's why on your next visit you must stay by him at all times. Any sign of him beginning to change and you must get him away. We keep our monster identities secret for a reason. Too many monsters like Kuyou give us all a bad reputation; it goes the same way with humans. One last warning, Tsukune must decide that he wants to become a vampire for the final transformation to go smoothly."
Moka and Ruby nodded as the stood and left the office…
Present
"Hey, Moka are you okay?" Tsukune looked at her concernedly. Moka shook her head to gather her thoughts.
"What? Oh yeah I'm fine Tsukune," Moka grabbed his hand and tugged on it. "Tsukune you must still be exhausted let's go back to the infirmary." Despite Tsukune's protests she led him back into the bed. "Now close your eyes and relax," she whispered softly into his ear. Tsukune slowed his breathing as he closed his eyes. He felt pressure on his arms and legs. When he opened his eyes his legs and arms were strapped again but tighter.
"Moka, why are you doing this to me?" he cried out in despair. He tried to struggle against the straps but they would not budge.
Moka stared sadly into his eyes as she spoke softly, "I have to Tsukune, for your protection I have to do this. I never wanted you to get hurt but it looks like I couldn't stop this. I can't tell you more right now but I won't leave your side for the next few hours. No matter what I will not leave you!"
Tsukune tried to protest but in that moment an excruciating pain shot through his body causing him to become rigid and gasp. Deep in his mind the final stages of becoming a vampire were beginning. Nothing could be done now to stop the transformation.
Tsukune's Mind
Tsukune looked up at the sky. It was blood red scattered with black clouds. The whole world around him seemed to be full of despair. All around what seemed like rivers of blood and pure water flowed. Each type of river did not touch each other though as if divided by invisible forces. As Tsukune sat up he felt dizzy and light headed like he feels when Moka drinks his blood. What Tsukune saw next almost made his heart stop. Across from him sat the human version of him. They both stared at each other for what seemed like hours until a voice boomed from above. "Tsukune! You have a choice now. Which river will you take for the rest of your life? Both roads are equally difficult though the outcomes could be different. Only you can choose what happens on each path and how you get past the obstacles."
As the voice finished speaking both the rivers of water and rivers of blood combined into two raging rivers next to each other. The earth trembled and twisters began to form in the background. "You do not have long to make your decision but remember to think it through. There is no turning back after you decide."
Both Tsukune's looked at each other and instantly knew the decision. The human Tsukune approached and shook the other Tsukune's hand. "It was nice while it lasted," he said while smiling before pushing vampiric Tsukune into the river of blood. "Hopefully I will still be around to observe everything from in here. Take care of Moka for me," he whispered. With that the disasters ceased to exist and the sky lightened into a sky blue where the sun shone brightly.
Reality
'The past hour has been excruciatingly long,' Moka thought as she sat by Tsukune. The energy radiating off of him has been fluctuating with large spikes at certain times and other times hardly any energy at all. "I do hope you come out of this soon Tsukune…" she whispered as the clock ticked loudly. After another ten minutes of waiting Tsukune's eyes began to flutter and then slowly open. He looked to the left and right while trying to remember what happened.
'Was it all a dream? Seeing the other me and all,' he thought silently as he continued to try and remember. His thoughts were interrupted by a shout and sudden pressure on his body. Moka had noticed his awakening and almost crushed him in happiness. "Tsukune!" she cried out happily before noticing she was on top of him. Moka got off of Tsukune as the color flowed into her cheeks, "I'm so sorry for that…"
Tsukune sighed and tried to move his arms. "Umm Moka could you release me? I don't think I am going to harm anyone," Tsukune said while looking down. 'What happened in my mind before? I feel different, powerful but there's something else…' Tsukune waited to be released then rubbed his wrists to help loosen them up. "Thanks Moka."
"Umm Tsukune, what happened within the last hour and a half or so? I mean, what happened inside of you?" Moka asked curiously while looking at him. At this Tsukune stiffened and went silent.
After a minute or so Tsukune collected himself and smiled widely, "I just had to decide what I wanted to be…" Tsukune rose and looked out the window, "I need to get some rest in my room. I'll see you later Moka." Tsukune left the room and headed out towards his room.
When the door closed Moka's rosary began to glow and Inner Moka began to speak telepathically to her. "Tsukune is lying Moka, I can tell by his tone. Something happened that he will not be able to get over on his own and it is scaring him. You need him to remove the seal so that I could speak with him. My vampire nature should be able to connect with him easier than you for once. He may have been my food source once but now he is family, we all share the same blood now." The rosary's glow faded and Inner Moka fell silent. Moka rose confidently, determined to get Tsukune to remove the seal.
Moka knocked on Tsukune's door waiting for a response. After a few seconds she heard a crash on the other side of the door, she opened the door quickly to see Tsukune by the sink twitching in paralysis. Moka rushed to his side and saw the faucet was on. 'He must have forgotten about water's effects…' She held him close when his hand instinctively broke the rosary off of her neck. The energy released blew the door shut and caused papers to blow around. Moka was turning into Inner Moka.
After the energy glow faded Inner Moka smirked at the sight. "What a fool, even when you observed what water does to a vampire you still forget and get harmed by it," she sits Tsukune on his chair and flicked his forehead. "Sleepy head wake up now!" she shouts to wake him up. Tsukune wakes with a start and almost falls out of the chair.
"Moka! What are you doing in my room and transformed?" Tsukune turned red and then fell out of the chair. "The last thing I remember is going to freshen up…"
Moka laughed loudly, "The water you idiot, you didn't use any herbs did you? But that isn't important right now. What is important is knowing why you lied to the other me. I was able to tell instantly, now what really did happen?"
Tsukune looked at his lap and clenched his hands on his knees. "Nothing else happened okay, I just had to choo…" Tsukune got cut off by Moka's hand across his face.
"Is this the thanks I get for saving you and bringing you back to life? You lie to me and the other Moka as if it is nothing." Moka raised her hand as if ready to slap him again. "Now think of your answer again."
Tsukune took a breath and started over. "I saw the other me… The human me," he started, "The world I was in, it was dark and scary. Twisters and earthquakes began to ravage the world and we had to choose. There was a river of blood and a river of water and we had to choose. I was thrown into the river of blood by the human me. He sacrificed his existence… for both of you Mokas. But… right before I was completely swallowed up in the river, the world became colorful and pure. I was the reason it was so dark and dangerous…" The tears in Tsukune's eyes fell into his lap as the human Moka pulled him into her arms.
"I can't stop apologizing for what I have done Tsukune but I will help anyway I can," she whispered into his ear. "Umm Tsukune, I know you are not human anymore, but could I… you know," she smiled as Tsukune nodded and sank her fangs into his collar bone which sent chills of ecstasy run down her spine, tingling her extremities.
Author's Notes: I know I took longer to update this time but I had some writers block. This chapter was mainly written while watching a documentary about our dream molecule or DMT (Think of Time Travel by Never Shout Never…) I am sorry for the semi short chapter again but I did not want to force anything more than I already have but it will get better I promise. I am busy tomorrow with family and septum piercings :3 but I will begin to write the next chapter tomorrow. Thank you for all the reviews and please keep them coming. The more detailed the review is the better I will improve. And yes I do respond to the reviews even if they are bad/harsh ones. Until next time ~:3~
