He was lying in a huge marble bath that was filled with soap bubbles. All along the edge of the bath scented candles were lit. His back was pressed against the edge of the tub by her body. Beneath the soapy water he could feel her hands playing with him, teasing and tormenting him in the most wonderful way. Her chest was slippery and wet and rubbed against his as she kept him pinned where he was. Her mouth was on his neck, but not to bite. Her tongue was licking him and her mouth was planting little kissed up and down it.

"Mo… Moka-san," he whispered.

She brought her face over to look at his. So many times he had seen this face with anger, worry, or contempt stamped on it. He had felt the sting of her words and of her blows. But now this face had a playful expression on it, one he had never imagined he would see. Yet somehow it did not seem the least bit strange.

"What is it Tsukune?" She asked in a sweet voice. Again he had never imagined that this Moka could sound like that. But he really liked the way she called his name.

"We… we can't do this."

His words seemed to amuse her. "Oh? And why not?" Her hands suddenly began stroking him and he gasped in surprise and unexpected pleasure. "Do you not like it?" She asked knowingly.

"I… ah, I," the way she was touching him made it hard to concentrate. "I... don't… don't want to take… take advantage of you."

She had a throaty laugh and leaned in to begin nibbling the side of his face. "Do you think I am being forced to do this? Do you think I am doing anything I don't want to?"

"But…" his voice was trembling. "But… you would get up… upset if I even touch… touched you. How… how can this be o.k.?"

She stopped and lifted her face to look at him again. Her expression was much more serious, but not angry. "Things have changed Tsukune."

"Be… because I'm a vampire now?"

"That's right, because you are like me now." Her lips came down and she gently kissed him. Her red eyes looked into his with longing. "I can be yours Tsukune," she whispered. "But you need to show me first."

"Moka," he called out.

As he opened his eyes he found himself alone in his room. He also found his body was in a rather… excited condition. What amazing dreams, he thought. But I really do need to stop thinking of Moka-san that way.

As he got ready for the day he remembered what Moka had told him about bathing. He put in some of the herbs she had given him into his bathtub. So long as water was mixed with something else and wasn't pure it would not harm him. So rather than his usual shower he took a bath. Of course taking a bath reminded him of his dream again. I wonder what the other Moka would say if I… When he saw where his thoughts were leading him he shook his head violently. If he even hinted he was interested in the inner Moka that way he was sure she would beat him into the ground.

In the dorm cafeteria he grabbed a bowl of cereal, some toast, and a glass of tomato juice. This was his normal breakfast and it all tasted fine, the tomato juice was actually the tastiest part of the meal. His hunger died down but did not go completely away as it should have. He was not really hungry, but there was a tiny gnawing there. As though he were not quite full.

As he ate he noticed that no one came to sit near him at his table. When he looked up he saw heads quickly turn away.

As he left the dorm everyone gave him a wide berth.

"Tsukune!" A girl's happy cry greeted him as soon as he was outside. He looked up just in time to spot a field of yellow coming for him. Then everything went black as he was being smothered. "Tsukune-kun are you all right? I was so worried about you! I didn't want to leave your side buy Moka made me!"

"Kurumu would you stop smothering him!" A frustrated Moka tried to pull her off to no effect.

Tsukune reached and grabbed her by her shoulders. Then to his and everyone else's surprise he easily pulled free. "Heh, good morning Kurumu-chan, Moka-chan, Yukari-chan." He looked over at some bushes. "Mizore–chan."

The purple haired snow girl popped her head out and gaped at him. "How did you spot me?"

He shrugged. "I smelled you."

Kurumu and the other girls were all staring at him. "Wow Tsukune," Kurumu said. "You really are strong now."

He smiled at her a little embarrassed. "Thanks." Then he began looking at her in a slightly different way.

"Wha… what? Is something wrong?" He suddenly leaned in and began to nuzzle her. His hands went to her hips to hold her where she was. Having him unexpectedly close to her made Kurumu's heart begin to pound. "Tsukune… what, what are you doing?"

"Kurumu-chan," his hot breath tickled her throat. "You smell wonderful."

Then he bit her.

"Ow! Ow!" Kurumu cried.

"Tsukune what are you doing?!" Moka said.

Her blood was simply delicious, so much more delectable than Midou's had been. The hot sweet blood flowed down his throat and for the first time since he had been changed his hunger vanished completely.

As soon as it did he stopped and let go of Kurumu. The succubus stepped back and slapped a hand to her neck. She was relieved to find no wound there, just a slight bruise that reminded her of a hickey. "Did you just drink my blood?" She asked startled.

Tsukune began rubbing the back of his head feeling embarrassed. "I'm really sorry Kurumu-chan, it's just you smelled so good, I… I couldn't help myself."

"Me next! Me next!" Yukari began jumping about and waving her hand in the air.

"Want to try me?" Mizore was abruptly in front of him offering her neck.

"Stop that!" Moka said angrily and turned to Tsukune. "Tsukune you can't just go and bite someone because you feel like it!"

Kurumu gaped at her. "Look who's talking!"

"I always asked permission," she said defensively. Tsukune and everyone else sweat dropped and stared at her. "Well… sometimes I would."

Tsukune turned to Kurumu. "I'm really sorry about that, I had no right to do that."

Kurumu slowly gave him a warm smile. "That's all right Tsukune; it surprised me more than it really hurt. Since it's you I don't mind giving you whatever it is you need. After all," she stepped close to him and carefully took his arm in hers. "You are my destined one. You can have me any time you want… and not just for blood."

Hearing that Moka began turning an angry shade of red.

"Tsukune," Mizore asked. "Why aren't you drinking Moka's blood? It seems only fair after all the times she drank yours."

"Actually Moka told me we can't drink each other's blood. Vampires can't drink vampire blood."

"Oh really?" Kurumu said with a triumphant grin. Oh ho! So I finally have an advantage over her! Maybe his change won't be so bad.

"Moka, does that mean you can't drink from Tsukune anymore?" Yukari asked.

"I'm afraid so," she said.

"Desu! Want to sink your teeth into me?" She rubbed the side of her neck invitingly. "I'm extra tender."

"Ah, thank you Yukari-chan," she said a bit awkwardly. "But it wouldn't be completely safe since your body had a lot less blood than an adult's would."

"Darn it," Yukari said with disappointment.

Moka began pressing her index fingers together. "Ah, actually since I can't drink Tsukune's blood anymore I am going to need a new source." She looked hopefully at her two other friends.

Kurumu sniffed and held on tighter to his arm. "My blood is for Tsukune's exclusive use."

"Sorry Moka but I wouldn't be comfortable with letting you eat me," Mizore said. "I'm just not into that sort of thing."

"Just get one of the endless line of guys who love you to do it," Kurumu said. "I bet just about any guy in the academy would be happy to be your new favorite juice box."

"It wouldn't feel right doing something like that with a total stranger."

Kurumu grinned mischievously. "Well there is one other guy here you know pretty well."

"Of course you can drink my blood!" Gin said excitedly. A large furry tail suddenly appeared and began wagging back and forth eagerly.

Moka sighed. "Thank you sempai." This was not what she had wanted. But after getting used to the real thing she knew she could not go back to transfusion packs. She wanted to drink it hot from the source, and even if he wasn't ideal she did at least know him. It was better than going to a stranger.

"Go ahead and help yourself!" Gin said.

"Thanks," without her usual excitement she bit into him.

"Ow!"

Hmmm, she thought tastes a little like dog.

The day in school had been a little odd. After a whole semester he had finally gotten to the point where he was a part of the school and blended in. Now he stood apart again.

And for the exact opposite reason.

"This is why I got the Rosario in the first place Tsukune," Moka said sympathetically as they were walking back from club. "Even among monsters vampires are feared for our great power. People are going to be very nervous around you, even the teachers."

"Well what can I do?" He asked. "I just want to fit in like I did before."

"We can show you the spell for a human disguise," Kurumu suggested. "It's what we all use. It's real simple and I'm sure you'd be able to do it since you're a vampire now."

"That won't do any good," Moka said. "A simple disguise won't affect his demonic aura. People will still know he's a vampire even if he doesn't look it. That was why I got the rosario in the first place."

"Desu! Then the answer is simple!" Yukari said. "Just get him a rosario too!"

"Do you think that would work Moka?" Tsukune said hopefully. If I had a rosario like Moka's I'd be able to see my family!

She looked at him nervously. "It could work, but there is a problem. My father was the one to make my rosario. He won't forge another just because I ask him too, you would have to meet with him and convince him he should do you this favor."

"I'd have to meet your father?" She nodded. "O.k. if that's what I have to do then I will!"

"Uh Tsukune there's something you should know about my father first, he's…"

"Hey you!" An older boy in school uniform stepped into the path ahead of him. He had a huge two headed axe over one shoulder. "Fight me vampire!"

Instinctively Tsukune jumped in front of Moka. "What do you want with Moka-san?"

The other boy looked at him confused. "I don't care about the girl. I said I wanted to fight you vampire!"

Tsukune blinked. "Oh, right, I'm the vampire here. Sorry, I forgot."

"Are you trying to make fun of me?" The boy growled. His school jacket tore as he released his true form and grew a foot and half taller. His human face took on the appearance of a bull's and two great horns sprouted from his skull. "I'm a minotaur, I want to fight you and show everyone how tough I am!" He swung the axe about menacingly.

"Hold it! You just want to fight me for your reputation?" Tsukune asked. "Are you part of Anti-thesis?" That was the name of the group Midou had belonged to. The ones who had kidnapped Moka and attacked them.

"Never heard of them."

Tsukune was suddenly reminded of his run in with Rikiishi of the wrestling club. He'd wanted to fight him too just to prove how strong he was. "Look, I really don't want to…"

"Beat him up Tsukune!" Moka cheered.

"Turn him into steak!" Kurumu shouted.

"Go Tsukune! Fight!" Yukari called.

"Go get him Tsukune!" Mizore cried.

He gawked at the girls who were encouraging him to get into a pointless fight. "What are you doing?"

"What?" Moka asked. "You're a vampire Tsukune, you can deal with one little minotaur with both arms tied behind your back. And you have to get used to this, as a vampire other monsters are going to come challenge you all the time."

"What?"

The minotaur let out and angry roar. "What are you doing ignoring me?! I'll chop you into pieces!" The minotaur ran at him hefting his axe.

Tsukune didn't think about it, he just reacted. He'd been in his share of fights since coming to the academy. The minotaur sent the axe in a downward chop that aimed to split him clean down the middle. To the minotaur it seemed like a powerful blow. But to Tsukune's enhanced senses it looked a bit clumsy and far too slow. He stepped forward easily avoiding it and delivered a single all out punch to then exposed chest.

"Oooof!" The minotaur was sent flying into some nearby trees. He gave out a groan and slumped down unconscious.

Tsukune stood there staring at him. "Uhm, ah, know your place?"

The girls all sweat dropped.

With the impromptu fight over they continued on to the dorms.

"So you really think I'm going to have more people coming to challenge me?" He asked the girls.

"Hey vampire! I hear you think you're pretty tough!" A transformed cyclops stepped out in front of them.

"I would say yes." Moka replied.

"I definitely need to get a rosario," he muttered as he got ready for another pointless fight.
