The vivid dreams stopped after that night. He didn't know why, but they did.

One Month Later

Leaving the boys' dorm he saw Kurumu and Moka there waiting for him. Despite having his usual breakfast he felt the gnawing at the back of his stomach so he hurried up to Kurumu.

"So, can I?" Tsukune asked.

Kurumu felt her face blush just a little. For this one sliver of time she had his total undivided attention. He needed her. "Of course, go ahead Tsukune."

"Thanks Kurumu-chan."

Chomp!

Despite the pain Kurumu did her best not to make a sound. She did not want Tsukune turning to anyone else for this. Yukari and Mizore had both volunteered but she remained his only source of blood.

"Aaaah," he said once he let go. "Your blood is absolutely the sweetest. Thank you for letting me do this every day. I know it hurts."

"It doesn't hurt at all!" She said too quickly. "Really Tsukune, I barely felt it." Unconsciously she rubbed the spot on his neck where she had a semi permanent bruise.

He gave her a knowing look. He knew getting bitten hurt. Feeling a little bad about it a playful grin touched his lips as a thought occurred to him. "Maybe I can do a little something to help."

"It really doesn't, ah!" She cut off as he slipped his arms around her waist and leaned in again. "Wha…"

"Let me kiss it and make it better." When he'd been little his cousin Kyouko would kiss his bruises and scrapes to make them better. It was silly, but it had always made him feel a little better. He put his mouth to her bruise and gently placed three little kisses over it.

She felt his lips touch her neck again. But this time it was tender. His soft lips tickled as they pressed down. Three gentle little kisses. Oh my god we're necking! Her face went a deep red and her heart began to race.

"There," he said with a hopeful look. "Does that make it better?"

"Ah, ye… yes, much better. Ah, in fact could you… maybe do that every time you bite me?"

"Sure I'd be happy to," Tsukune told her. If it helped with the pain he kept causing her then he was glad to do anything he could. He then looked more closely at her. "Are you feeling all right? You look kind of flushed."

"I'm fine," she said and grabbed his arm so she could walk by his side like usual. Heh, heh, this is perfect! Now all I have to do is get him to kiss my lips instead! I'll begin operation, 'Get Tsukune to kiss me on the lips!'

While all this went on Moka looked on silently.

Seeing Moka made Tsukune feel a little sad. He knew it was dumb, but seeing the pink haired Moka reminded him of the other, and reminded him that all those amazing dreams he'd been having had stopped. He knew it was silly; they were just dreams after all. It wasn't like any of it had ever really happened no matter how sharp the memories were. Yet it really felt as if he had been dating the silver haired Moka only to have her walk away from him.

He'd thought about asking Moka-san about those dreams. He wanted to know if those sorts of dreams were normal for vampires and if he might have more of them. But whenever he considered bringing up the topic he imagined her questions and trying to explain what sort of dreams he'd been having.

In the end he'd decided to just not bring up the subject at all.

Moka saw the way that Kurumu was on his arm again. Ever since he had started drinking her blood she had gotten in the habit of walking like that with him to class. The other students noticed it and many of them assumed she was his girlfriend.

Moka knew that wasn't the case, but she thought that Tsukune was closer to her now than anyone else. Since he became a vampire and I stopped drinking his blood we've not been as close. Sometimes she would catch him looking at her with this sad expression. Whenever she did he would look away immediately. When she asked him what was wrong he would deny that there was anything. There seemed to be a distance between them now. Her feelings for him hadn't changed; he was still her dearest and most special person. But she wasn't sure what she was to him now.

"Good morning Moka-san," he greeted her with a smile.

"Good morning Tsukune," she replied.

He looked over to a tree. "Good morning Mizore."

The snow girl popped her head out from behind it. "Good morning Tsukune!"

"Why do you keep hiding like that you stalker!" Kurumu complained.

"I'm shy," she said as she joined them. "Tsukune, I need to ask you a favor for tomorrow."

"What is it Mizore-chan?"

"My mom is coming to the festival and I really want her to meet you."

Tomorrow would be the opening day of the three day cultural festival. Having been in charge he would be busy right up until it started. After all his hard work he was really looking forward to it. Classes would be cancelled and the academy would be filled with alumni who would be the customers attending. There would be a bunch of games and entertainments and little cafes serving all sorts of food. He thought it would be fun. Hopefully none of the alumni want to fight me. About two months had passed now since his change and he hadn't had any more challenges in the last week. He was glad for that. Now if only the other students would stop looking at him nervously and giving him a wide berth in that hallways.

"Hey!" Kurumu said angrily. "What's the big idea of suddenly springing something like this on Tsukune?"

Mizore shrugged. "I didn't find out she would be attending until yesterday. What's the big deal?"

"The big deal is I want him to meet my mom!" Kurumu shouted.

"Your mother's coming too Kurumu-chan?" Tsukune asked.

"Let me guess she didn't say anything until just now." Mizore said.

"Tsukune you have to meet my mom!" Kurumu pleaded.

"No Tsukune, You have to meet my mother!" Mizore cried.

"Relax," he said. "It's no problem, I'll be happy to meet both of them."

"I want you to spend the whole day with us!" Kurumu said and deliberately pressed her chest against his arm. "She can only come for the first day of the festival so you have to spend it with us."

"My mom's only here for the first day too," Mizore complained. She came to the other side and took hold of Tsukune's other arm. "Please Tsukune it would mean so much to me if my mom got the chance to know you."

"I'll bet your mom's just a stalker like you," Kurumu said.

"Well I'll bet your mom has all her brains in her chest like you," Mizore shot back.

"Oh yeah! Well…"

The two girls started arguing while poor Tsukune was trapped in the middle of it trying to keep the peace.

Moka stood there silently digging her foot into the ground. She'd been planning to ask Tsukune to attend the festival with her that night. She'd always hated the festivals because she had always been alone. Seeing all the happy couples that surrounded her always reminded her that she was alone, that she had no one.

She'd been secretly hoping that this time might be different. She'd been planning to ask Tsukune to be her date for the festival. She'd been wanting to spend it at his side. He was so amazing! He had a vampire's power and strength and yet he still had that same caring nature he'd always had. He was both strong and gentle; he was everything she had ever wanted in a boyfriend.

She looked at him standing there as he tried to calm the other two girls. That aura of power that always surrounded him, the one that scared off others. To a vampire it was attractive, almost physically arousing, looking at Tsukune she felt her desire rising.

She wanted him.

"Ah, we should go or we're going to be late for homeroom." She called out.

Tsukune looked at her with relief. "Thanks Moka-san, come on we need to go."

As he and the girls walked past Hokuto and Kiria looked on.

"Now there is a sight to stir the blood," Hokuto said. "The mighty vampire Aono and his harem. Including the vampire Akashiya."

Kiria was looking at a book as he spoke, not bothering to look up. "Are you sure you've handled them right? Keeping him busy and leaving her alone? What happens if they interfere?"

"They have no idea what's going on," Hokuto said. "By the time they realize it, it'll already be too late. S-rank monsters are too dangerous to take lightly. Trying to deal with two at once would be very risky. It's better to just keep them clear of everything until the last day of the festival." Hokuto grinned at what he had planned.

The next morning found bus loads of alumni pouring onto the campus where little stands and temporary cafes awaited.

Moka was scheduled to work the first part of the first day. She had on a cute yukata that looked like a field of stars. I wish Tsukune were here to see it. She had asked him yesterday to come by her stand. He had told her that he would try but was not sure if he would be able to between seeing Mizore's mom Kurumu's and taking care of any problems that might pop up. Another festival and I am alone again, she thought sadly. Well, maybe I'll at least see him over the next two days.

Well, she had a job to do. She screwed on a fake smile and called out. "Gold fish scooping, who would like to play gold fish scooping?" The men in the crowd turned idly and saw her. The formerly empty station was soon under siege. Hey! Did someone grab my butt?!

Tsukune was outside walking amid the stalls when Mizore came up to him. "Tsukune! This my mother Tsurara." She said proudly.

Tsukune looked about. "Uhm, I don't see anyone."

Mizore turned around to see there was no on e there behind her. She looked about until she spotted someone hiding behind a trash can. "Mother please come out, I want you to meet my boyfriend Tsukune."

"Boyfriend?"

Mizore turned to him and spoke quickly in a low voice. "I sort of told her you were my boyfriend, you don't mind do you?"

"Actually…"

"Mom, my boyfriend says he really want s to meet you!"

He sighed. This is going to be a long day isn't it?

XXXXXXXXXX

Mizore finally coaxed her mom out and the three of them sat down at a small outdoor café. Tsukune thought Mizore's mother, her name was Tsurara, to be a beautiful and elegant lady. She had silver hair done up and was in a pale kimono. Seeing that put him a little bit at ease, though he didn't like having Mizore pretend they were boyfriend girlfriend.

"It really is very nice to meet you Tsukune," Tsurara told him. "My daughter speaks of you often. I was very surprised when she told me you were a vampire though."

"Heh, I hope that's not a problem. I know a lot of people are bothered by it."

"Not at all Tsukune! Honestly I am thrilled that my daughter has found such a kind boy. The fact you are a vampire is a plus. I'm sure the two of you will have some very powerful children."

"Children?"

Tsurara smiled at him pleasantly. "So have you thought about when you are going to marry Mizore?"

"What?! Marry?! Uhm aren't we rushing things here a bit? We haven't even known each other a full year." And I'm not really her boyfriend. He looked at Mizore for help but she remained silent.

Tsurara's smile slipped and she looked deeply troubled. "But you have at least considered it haven't you?"

"Heh, uhm, not really."

"Oh dear, going out with a girl without even considering marriage. That's very upsetting." Without warning blades of ice rose out of the cup in front of her, their points ending where his throat would have been.

Having a vampire's reflexes though he had leapt back in plenty of time. "Yaah! What are you doing?"

"Oh, I'm sorry, that's a nervous habit of mine when I become upset."

Couldn't you just bite your nails or something? "I think there's been a little misunderstanding," he deliberately looked at Mizore. "Right Mizore-chan?"

Mizore slowly nodded. "Actually mother about that, there's something you need to know."

"Yes dear?"

"Tsukune and I have discussed it a lot and we're leaning towards a June ceremony."

"What?!" he stared at her as though she were insane. "Look Mizore she needs to know…"

"TSUKUNE!!"

He turned in the direction of the shout only have his head buried into a very soft yellow sweater. "Unmph."

"Tsukune I've been looking everywhere for you!" Kurumu happily pressed him into her breasts. "He's over here mother!"

He carefully pulled her loose. "Kurumu-chan, now is not really a good time."

Ignoring him completely Kurumu hurried over to a stunning woman in a leather jacket and little red dress with a purse. She had long hair the same color as Kurumu's and incredibly even larger breasts. "Tsukune I've been dying for the two of you to meet, this is my mother Ageha, mom this is Tsukune."

She gave him the once over and then had a simply brilliant smile. "It's nice to meet you, I am very happy to finally get to meet my daughter's fiancé."

I'm a fiancé now?! This is really getting out of hand! "Well I'm pleased to meet you as well Ageha-san but…"

Before he could get any further his face was being pressed into some gigantic and amazingly soft breasts. "No need to be so formal Tsukune-kun!" Laughing she leaned into him as she continued to press his face into her breasts. "My, you are quite the catch Tsukune. You know nothing is sexier than power and a vampire is a living symbol of pure raw power." She seemed to purr. There was an excited look in her eyes.

"Ah, I ah…"

She took his right hand and pressed it to her chest, essentially forcing him to grope her. "Let's all have dinner tonight. Then after," she licked her lips sensually. "I'll use my body to teach you the way of love between a man and a woman."

"Mom what are you doing?" Kurumu said horrified.

It was too much stimulation and the poor virgin vampire fainted.

When he came to a minute later people were running past him screaming. Tsurara and Ageha were having an all out battle in the middle of the festival. He knew he needed to stop them before anyone got seriously hurt or any more was damaged. But he had both Kurumu and Mizore standing over him looking angry.

"How could you Tsukune!" Kurumu demanded. "A June wedding?! How could you even pretend to go along with that?"

"But I didn't that was…"

"Tsukune, why didn't you tell the truth? You let her mother believe you were her fiancé!" Mizore sounded very unhappy.

"But I wasn't…"

"You need to tell your mother the truth stalker girl!" Kurumu said angrily. "I mean who would really believe the two of you could ever end up together?"

"I would be a much better match for him," Mizore said. "At least my mother wouldn't try and seduce him."

"No she would only try and kill him with ice blades!"

"It's a nervous habit, unlike the way your mother tried top proposition him."

"You take that back or I'll…"

"ENOUGH!!" Tsukune shouted. His demonic aura pulsed with anger and got everyone's attention as even Tsurara and Ageha suddenly stopped. "Stop arguing about me like I'm not even here! The truth is I like bother of you! But I am not your boyfriend," he said directly to Mizore. "And I am not your fiancé!" He said to Kurumu. "I like you both as my friends but that's all! If that's not enough then I'm sorry, but that is all I'm willing to give right now!" frustrated beyond words he stormed off not wanting to deal with them any further.

As Mizore and Kurumu stood there the temperature seemed to drop about thirty degrees.

"Mizore, he is not your boyfriend?" Tsurara said chillingly.

"He isn't really your fiancé?" Ageha extended her claws and wings.

The two girls looked at each other.

"Run?" Mizore asked.

"Yeah!"

They ran as their mothers pursued them.

XXXXXXXXXX

"Please stop!" Moka said as she backed away. Following her shift she had come up to the roof to be alone for awhile. A large man with tattoos had wound up following her up here and now had her cornered against the fence that surrounded the edge of the roof.

He was putting his hands all over her. "You're a real, beauty how about you and I have some fun?"

"Please leave me alone," she begged.

"You heard her, leave her alone." An angry voice said.

"Who do you…" The man turned to confront the person only to freeze. He had red eyes and fearsome demonic aura surrounded him. He moved with blinding speed. He felt a fist slam into his stomach and he was sent flying through the fence and off the roof.

In that moment Tsukune didn't care if the bastard was hurt or even dead. Turning to Moka he wrapped his arms around her and held her close. "Are you all right Moka-san?"

"Yes, I am now. You saved me Tsukune, thank you!"

"Moka-san, I'm just glad you're all right."

As he held her close she could feel the way his heart was pounding like a trip hammer. He must have been very worried about her. "Thank you again Tsukune, how did you know I was in trouble?"

"I didn't, I finally got done helping getting a bunch of stands repaired and was finally free again. I wanted to spend the rest of the festival with you."

"Really? But what about Mizore and Kurumu and their mothers?"

He made a face. "Don't ask. But anyway, I decided to go and spend some time with the girl who didn't try and use me today." He was still holding her as he looked into her eyes. "You're always there for me Moka-san, and you never ask for anything. I don't think I really tell you enough how much you mean to me or how much I really appreciate you."

She felt her own heart begin to pound. "Tsukune… I… I was hoping to ask you something before, but I never got the chance since Mizore and Kurumu needed you."

"What do you want to ask?"

"I… I want…" I want us to spend the night together. I want you to be my first. Her face turned completely red. "I want you to just spend some time with me."She just didn't have the courage to tell him what she really felt.

"I'd be happy to." He told her.

"You… you know I was feeling jealous the other day when I saw you kiss Kurumu's neck." She suddenly said.

"You were jealous?" He asked. "Does, does that mean you'd like a kiss too?"

"Ah, ah, ye... yes, if you want." She said fearfully.

He was holding her and could feel her tremble. He could feel her heart racing. And he could tell by her scent that she was very excited. "Moka," he asked quietly. "The other you, what would she think if I kissed you? Is it like I am kissing her or is it like I am kissing another girl?"

He's afraid of angering my other self. "It's, a little bit like both I'm afraid. We share one body, but that doesn't mean I can do whatever I want. But… but I don't think it would upset her if it was you who kissed me."

Show me. That was what the Moka in his dream had said to him. He gently touched her cheek. "This is for you and the other Moka."

He leaned in and gently kissed her.
