I know I said if 90 percent against, well i thought it over and just supposed I can make a separate story after I'm done with this one. But that one will be for those who think and Erza X Moka pairing would be interesting. But for now, I hope you guys enjoy this chapter. Though, fair warning that not that much will happen until next.
Chapter 3
The team found themselves at Lucy's apartment, much to the blonde's dismay. They were all seated in her room, waiting for the vampire to start explaining what's going onto them, and anything else. Moka's crimson eyes scanned the room, Natsu was sitting on the floor, Gray seemingly comfortable in a chair, Erza and Lucy all sitting upon the bed. She wasn't quite ready for this. It also seemed like the dragon slayer was becoming antsy. There had to be a way to start off this conversation; Moka had never felt this confused before. I'm becoming weak...
"Alright," She began. "Let's start off with a question."
Natsu immediately put up his hand. "How did you know what that creature was?"
Of course. She knew that was the question going to be asked first, along with Natsu being the one to ask it. She let out a soft sigh. "I knew because I've dealt with his kind before."
Moka knew that answer wasn't going to satisfy them, so she just had to do this fast and simple. When one of them was about to raise their hands, she opened her mouth to speak, crossing her arms. "I am from a different place, a different world."
This made almost everyone blink in slight surprise. Erza watched Moka with slight curiosity and some of the small things she had noticed making a bit of sense to her now. Too her, it was quite odd how there was a world different than this one. There were many thoughts going though the wizard's head, such as the group 'Fairy Tale', Moka, these Monstrels that their friend had said. She looked up at Moka. "Then what is this world of yours?"
"Unlike here, there are no wizards, though there are witches." Moka looked over towards Erza, moving so she could lean against a wall. "There are humans and monsters. We take human form so we can live in the human world."
"We?" Gray questioned, raising an eyebrow.
The vampire nodded. "Yes, I am what's called an S-Class monster, a vampire."
Everyone went still, they had common knowledge on those sort of things. With all the many creatures in Fiore, there were sure to be vampire-like creatures. It was also sort of interesting to have a vampire near, especially one that wouldn't attack them. They knew they could trust Moka, even though they have had slight number of questions since meeting; Erza especially knew she could trust the vampire. Moka noticed all the expressions and closed her eyes for a moment. Well, that was part of the explanation. There was wasn't that much left to explain. All that's left is Fairy Tale...
She looked back up at the group. "Now, that man we faced today is from a group from my world called Fairy Tale. They plan to put the world in chaos, take back the world for monsters."
"So...how did you get here?" Lucy asked, now holding her spirit Pule on her lap.
"Hm..." Moka frowned, thinking hard about the question. She wasn't quite sure about the problem herself. "I'm not sure...last I remember...I was with my friends trying to get my Rosary fixed...It's suppose to seal my vampiric powers."
The blonde tilted her head. "Well something must have happened at that moment..."
"Yes, I would assume so." Moka nodded.
Natsu stood up from where he was sitting. "So, is there going to be anymore of those Fairy Tale guys?"
The vampire nodded silently, pushing herself off of the wall. Erza stood up from the bed and crossed her arms over her chest, smiling just a tad. "Then we'll take care of them, but for now, we should all rest up for whatever tomorrow lays out for us."
Everyone agreed and Erza left Lucy's house with Moka, Gray and Natsu, Happy too, of course staying behind to lounge around in the blonde's apartment. Poor girl, Moka thought, feeling bad that she had to put up with that sort of thing. Erza and Moka headed to the guild to report to Makarov how the mission went, along with additional explanations. Luckily, the red-head explained briefly. Moka was very thankful for that and glad that the Master of Fairy Tail understood that there is an approaching threat.
The two made it back to Erza's place and Moka immediately sat in one of the chairs, letting out a small sigh. Erza walked over to her couch, sitting down upon it. Her brown eyes gazed around the room before falling back onto her housemate; Moka was good company and they did get along quite well. She smiled faintly ad went to look back at the many items in her room. Eventually she went to bed while Moka was still sitting in the chair, sort of thinking some things over.
What if my sisters are here...? She asked herself, frowning heavily. That worried her because what if the wizards were going to be hurt badly because of her. She didn't want that to happen. Also, what if her other friends were also brought to Fiore like she? There were so many questions that went through the vampire's mind. I need omote... She sighed and leaned back in the chair, looking dully up at the ceiling.
"Inner me...? Ura..?" A soft voice called out, making Moka blink and look at her Rosary. "I've...sort of been sleeping...sorry..."
Moka frowned at the other. "What have I told you about slacking off?"
"I said I'm sorry!" Outer-Moka cried out.
Inner sighed and looked down at the floor. It was now occurring to her that she didn't try to contact her outer self at all, she didn't try to synchronize her mind with the other. She smiled a bit how silly it was of her not to even consider trying. She supposed that she did have a lot on her mind at the time and there were many things that were happening. The vampire could practically see the smile on the Outer's face.
"You know...I like those people.." Outer's soft voice called out. "They sort of remind me of our friends."
"Your friends omote." Moka said, smirking just a bit when she saw Outer's cheeks puff out.
"They're your friends too!" Omote then smiled, tilting her head to the side. "I find it funny that you and Erza are so alike Ura!"
Moka smiled and let out a soft chuckle, standing up from the chair and moving over to the couch. She grabbed a blanket and laid on the couch. "We should sleep, night Omote."
"Night Ura~"
Team Natsu, except for Gray, sat at a table within the guild hall; they wanted to just sit around before looking for a new job to go on and they also were waiting for the Ice Mage to show up so they could start. Happy was nibbling on a fist as Natsu placed his chin on the table, bearing a bored expression.
Moka leaned back, crossing her arms. "Where is Gray?"
"I don't know...He sort of disappeared in the middle of the night." Lucy blinked, starting to wonder where the male could have gone. "He didn't even leave a note."
"Ah! Who cares about that cold-stripper!" Natsu spoke up, chin still on the table. "Let's go find us a job!"
Lucy's eye twitched and she smacked the other. "Quiet Natsu, we have to wait for Gray."
Moka sighed and looked over at Erza, who had her arms crossed along with her eyes closed. Natsu, Happy, and Lucy were just talking among themselves and there was still no sign of Gray. Eventually, Erza opened her eyes and looked at the team. "I think we should look for Gray. I'm beginning to worry."
"Let's just go look for a job!" Natsu called out, sitting correctly in his seat.
Erza sent the Dragon-slayer a death glare and he yelped, his face paling just somewhat. The frightening wizard simply let out a sigh and looked over to Moka. "What do you think we should do."
"Hm..." The vampire rested her chin on her palm, pursing her lips as she thought. "Perhaps we should wait, he may just show up. Though we also have to keep in mind about Fairy Tale..."
The red-head nodded and looked over to Natsu, Happy, and Lucy who returned to their own conversation. Perhaps she was worrying just a bit too much about Gray, she knew he could take care of himself in a fight, but Moka did remind her about the looming threat. The other was just as worried; the man they took on yesterday was cakewalk for her, but if her sisters show up, then that would be a problem.
The guild door opened and Gray walked in, heading straight for the table the team was sitting at. He slid into the empty seat next to Moka. "Sorry."
"Just where have you been Gray? You could have left a note." Lucy stated sort of angrily. "And where are your clothes?"
Gray gasped and looked down, noticing that he was indeed wearing nothing but his boxers. Moka sighed and turned her head away from the unclothed Ice-Mage. He let out a sigh and leaned back in his seat, just ignoring the fact that he didn't know where his clothes went.
"Last night I heard some thing weird so I decided to check it out." Gray shrugged, looking over at the team. "I found two guys who were talking about Fairy Tale and I decided to sort of eavesdrop."
Everyone's, except for Natsu and Moka, widened at his statement. Erza looked at Gray sternly. "You shouldn't have been so reckless, you should have came and got us. But what did you find out?"
"Well," The boy tilted his head to the side, staring up at the ceiling. "They were taking a look around the town, talked about finding Moka, and something about a person by the name of Kahlua."
Moka's crimson eyes widened at the name, one of the things she was worrying the most about surfacing into reality. Damn it. She looked down at the table, biting her lip in thought about what she should do about her sister. She was hoping that if they happened to run across her sister that the wizards would be able to defend themselves.
"Kahula..." Erza echoed and looked over at Moka. "Do you have any idea who this is?"
Of course they'd ask. She sighed mentally. Moka looked up, frowning. "Yes I do, she's my older sister."
That certainly surprised the team since they weren't expecting that sort of answer. Moka almost chuckled at their slight surprised faces, but it just remained in a frown. Her sister was strong and deadly, but not as her oldest sister. She took a breath and kept her cool composure. She didn't want to freak out, besides, that was unlikely of her to do so. I'm honestly becoming a weakling... She thought to herself as she waited for a question.
"Since she's your sister, is she a vampire like you?" Lucy asked, to which Moka nodded. "That means she's as strong as you?"
"No, she is very strong. She works as an assassin and can be extremely dangerous." The vampire replied, crossing her arms.
Natsu stood up. "I think we should go kick this Fairy Tale's butt!"
Lucy couldn't help but laugh just a bit along with Happy; Gray just raised an eyebrow and both Erza and Moka just looked unamused. Erza let out a long sigh and looked at the silver-haired girl across from her. "Well he certainly has spirit for this."
Moka smiled just a bit.
After a bit of discussion on what they should do, the team left the guild, with a job request, and started to leave the town, hoping they would run into someone or something from Fairy Tale that could give them information on whereabouts of Moka's sister while on this job. Moka was thinking that she could try to use the magic Erza was kind enough to teach her rather than last time when she used her own strength on the Fairy Tale member. It was also fitting magic for the vampire in a way, she'd still be able to use her own strength when using a sword or other type of weapon. As for now, shee just tried to relax as they walked down the path with the others.
Natsu looked over at Moka, thinking about if there would be a chance of him getting to fight her. He'd certainly enjoy that and even more if he'd be able to beat her. Only one way in finding out right? The pink-haired boy grinned as he walked up next to the vampire. "Hey Moka?"
"Yes?" Moka glanced at him, "What is you want Natsu?"
"I was wondering if it be alright if you and I fight each other later?" He kept his grinned, visibly excited by the chance. "I wanna see if I can beat you?"
"You want to see if you can beat me..." The vampire trailed off, looking ahead as a small smirk appeared on her face. "You can most certainly try if you'd like."
Natsu blinked, normally he'd get even more competitive if it was Erza or Gray who would give him that kind of answer, but this time he simply grinned and did a small pose with his fists, which were now on fire, in the air. "Yeah! I'm definitely fired up now!"
Moka almost smiled at the sight but continued walking, seeing that Erza slightly scolded him for 'messing around'. She was getting use to the group, but yet she was starting to think how amusing it was to see Kurumu, Mizore, and Yukari all into a fight. She almost blinked, seeing how that would be more of Omote's sort of thought rather than her own. The vampire ignored it and continued to walk, knowing it'd be dark soon and the team would most likely have to set up camp so they could eat and sleep. Though, there was something that was slightly bothering Moka; there was almost a faint presence of yōki, but she figured she must have just thought it up. I could just becoming paranoid now that I know Kahula is here... She thought to herself.
A pair of dull, purple-blue eyes watched the group in slight curiosity from the forest bushes. She noticed that Moka was with them, slightly disappointed that it was the Inner Moka rather than the Outer. She shrugged, placing a lollipop into her mouth.
Ehhh, I feel as if I could have done better with this chapter. Mainly the explaining, but in some way I just wanted to get that part over with. And Im sure all of you know a certain...'stalker' will appear in the next chapter~ I'll try to work on that one as quickly as i did this one.
