A/N: Sorry for the long wait on the chapter but unfortunately school came back and decided to show its ugly face again by dumping tons of assessment tasks and assignments on me.

For those asking if Ichigo will get another girl or start a harem I decided against it. It will only be Moka/Ichigo but should I finish this story and I get enough time for a sequel I will make Ichigo have 2 girls. (No one has ever done the pairing Im thinking of in the sequel to my knowledge)

Also at the moment, for his strength, he is still awakening his vampire blood so he wont be beaten everyone with a single punch but certainly he is still stronger than anything less than S-class, so ATM I'd say his strength level is above normal S-class and still growing.

Thanks goes out to everyone for support and to my BETA (StrawberryDeathGod15) when he helped out a little bit.

Favourite's follows and reviews are what get me motivated to write this story and better it.

Hidden Nature

Ichigo awoke in his dorm feeling refreshed after yesterday's drama and started his morning routine on auto-pilot. By the time he switched back to manual he had finished dressing, had breakfast, brushed his teeth and was walking to school with his scowl in place. It kept most people at a comfortable distance from him…. That was until he walked through the schools gate and was enclosed in one of Moka's crash tackle hugs.

"Morning, Ichigo!" Came her happy greeting, before Tsukune's Meek one followed.

"G-good Morning Ichigo." Seems he was still pretty nervous but that was to be expected.

"Mornin' guys" Ichigo thought maybe today could be easy but it wasn't to be, for not 10 seconds after Moka hugged him, a wave of malicious Intent was directed at him. It seemed some of the male populace was still not over how friendly Moka acted with him and was unaware of his new reputation he earned from yesterday. Ichigo sent an intimidating scowl to the guys before the trio walked further into the school grounds. After walking for a few minutes they eventually came across a lone bench in a seclude area, Ichigo and Moka chose to sit while Tsukune leant against a close by tree.

Moka was the one who broke the short lived silence. "I'm so happy that I'm not the only Vampire… and that I've got two great friends."

Ichigo gained an almost non-existent blush and tried to keep his tough guy look before saying "Moka, I'd your friend no matter what, alright? So don't worry about it."

If possible, Moka seemed to become even happier at Ichigo's remark. "Thank you Ichigo!"

Tsukune was feeling a lot like a third wheel right about now so he quickly excused himself. "Ah, I'm going to go for a little walk, Ok?" but it seemed they didn't even notice him or when he left, they just fell into comfortable, mostly one-sided, conversation. Tsukune walked aimlessly for a while, just mulling over his thoughts, until a meek sounding voice got his attention.

"S-someone… help me." Looking around Tsukune can see he is in a monsters equivalent to a park, dead trees and heavy mist over a large pond, spooky sounds coming from all around and he's pretty far out from the school. "Please… please help me... I just started feeling ill." When he located the voice he could see it's coming from an incredibly beautiful girl that looks like she's too weak to stand. The girl has light ocean blue hair, which is tied back with a purple headband that has one star on the side; she has deep purple eyes and thick eyelashes. She is wearing a plain long-sleeved white shirt with a red bow tie, plus a pale yellow-colored vest and a light brown-checked skirt, white leg warmers and plain black shoes.

Tsukune blushed after realising what he was thinking about then it hit him she was asking for help. After rushing to her side he asks "Can you stand up?" The girl just looked into his eyes before collapsing against him. "Come on; let's get you to the school infirmary." Tsukune wrapped her arm around the back of his neck to help support her and started walking back towards the school. "Thank you very much, I always had a weak body...you see… my chest… feels like it's going to burst." Not even thinking Tsukune looked down to her chest and well…. It looked more like her cloths would burst.

Tsukune wouldn't be able to think for much longer because she changed how see was being held up. "Hold me like this." Then she moved so that her bust was rubbing up against his chest. "Y-yeah that's it." Tsukune didn't know what to do besides madly blush but his thoughts started to wonder against his will. 'Whoa… her chest really does feel like it's about to burst… they're so big and soft… wait, what am I thinking?! I'm such an idiot.' Her voice broke him out of his perverse, panicked, thoughts.

"Hey, look into my eyes Tsukune." She looked him in the eyes while giving a charming smile and continued "I'm Kurumu Kurono. Please be a good friend to me, ok?" A circular wave seemed to race out of her eyes and engulfed Tsukune before disappearing. Tsukune's eyes glazed over and his mind felt clouded, but it wondered still. 'Wow… beautiful… what pretty eyes. Ahh… what's with me? Why do I really want to hold her tightly? And why can't I stop myself?' True to his thoughts, he grabbed her and held her tightly against himself making her squeal out cutely.

"Kyaaa~ what are you doing? Haha~" Despite the situation Kurumu didn't sound upset, in fact she sounded happy, which was a relief to Tsukune because he was just doing things with no control of himself.

Ichigos voice suddenly called out. "Eh… Tsukune? Who's your girlfriend?"

Moka's cheerful voice followed "I never knew you had a girlfriend Tsukune."

Its seems that they managed to make it somewhat closer to the school but unfortunately they still had a ways to go, that raises the question of what Ichigo and Moka were doing so far away from the school. Tsukune filed that question away for later then soon realised what they implied, "N-no, Kurumu isn't my g-girlfriend. I'm just taking her to the nurses office." In a quieter voice he muttered something that only Kurumu could hear, unknown to him. "Besides… she's so beautiful she probably already has a boyfriend." That brought a light pink hue to her cheeks.

"Whatever Tsukune, just don't be late to class. Speaking of class, we should probably get going Moka." Ichigo said before heading on his way back to class.

"See ya at class Tsukune, I hope you get better Kurumu." With a polite wave and bright smile Moka was off after Ichigo.

Class was pretty basic, human culture, which were basically dos and don'ts in the human world as well as the different types of cultures from overseas but Tsukune and Kurumu didn't make it to class. After fifty minutes the bell rang and all the students packed up to leave with Ichigo being the last to leave which meant so was Moka. Outside in the halls they walked in relative quiet until they reached one of the many staircases of the school were they leant against.

Ichigo was getting worried, usually Moka acted like the happiest person in the world but she hadn't uttered a word since class. So he asked with a slight frown. "What's the matter Moka? Something wrong?"

She replied in a worried tone. "Ichigo… did something seem… different… about Tsukune to you when he was with Kurumu?"

Ichigo's facial features shifted from one of worry to thought. "Yeah, the things he did were… forced… compared to the look he had in his eyes… maybe he's still getting used to monsters? I don't know but if it makes you feel better I can go look for him and see?"

Moka nodded so Ichigo went off in search of Tsukune of answers. Moka shifted back to her troubled thoughts once again. 'They really seemed like lovers with how they acted towards one another but like Ichigo said it felt forced, but I don't think Tsukune is worried about monsters much anymore and tried to keep up an act in front of her because no one threating pays him attention, her included until now. So why do I have a bad feeling about it.' The ruby-like part of rosary around Moka's neck glowed red and seemed to turn into an eyes slitted pupil.

'It's obvious you know but this isn't the time to be thinking about it, you're being targeted.'

'Huh?! Wh-what?! Who's there? Where's that voice coming from.' Mokalooked around frantically of the voice but failed to find it. Soon a condescending voice spoke from above and gained her focus.

"You… you're a vampire right? That's at least what the rumours say Moka Akashiya." Looking up Moka could see Kurumu sitting on the edge of the staircase railing.

"You were the one with Tsukune earlier! When did you….?" Moka started to say but let the question hang in the air when Kurumu jumped down from her perch on the railing, giving a good show of her panties in the process.

A crowd had gathered around to check the two that had been dubbed as the cutest in school and started saying things like 'Wow! What a beauty!' or 'Who is she?! This girl is incredibly cute' but the two were only solely focused on each other.

Walking up to Moka, Kurumu started circling her like how a shark would circle its prey. "I am the succubus Kurumu Kurono… I… have come to defeat you."

Moka was confused but she realised something "Wha… what a minute, isn't it against the school rules to give away your monster form…?"

But Kurumu continued as if she didn't say anything. "I can't stand it anymore. You're the biggest eyesore in the way of my great plan!" to finish off her speech she pointed an accusing finger at Moka.

Moka gained a confused expression at the accusation. "Plan…? What are you talking about?"

"The yokai academy harem transformation plan! My Plan was to turn every male at this academy into my slave." When Moka heard this her facial expression was somewhere between shocked and deadpanned but Kurumu either didn't care or didn't notice because she continued. "My plan was perfect! I should have every guy at this academy a slave to my beauty right from the start! However! Moka Akashiya, the guys at this school are dreaming of you rather than me!" She got right up in Mokas personal space before adding "I will not let you get away with this, I will never lose in a battle of feminine charm!"

Taking a step back she unveiled her master plan. "That's why I've decided to prove I can defeat you; I'll show you I'm better than you… by stealing Tsukune Aono… and Ichigo Kurosaki from you!"

Moka started sweeting nervously, not so much at Tsukunes name but Ichigos. "Wait, stop, Ichi…erh, they have nothing to do with this…"

Continuing as if she didn't hear Moka…. Yet again, Kurumu added in an almost dream like state. "Though… Tsukune has a really good scent…. Just like a human. What about Ichigo though, hmm? You use him as food don't you? But I guess he's food that bites back. Ahahahaha your face when I take them from you will be a sight to see!"

Moka started to protest against what Kurumu said "No… I'm not using Ichigo or anyone as food, I'm…"

But was interrupted by a welcomed voice "Hey Moka, Tsukune was resting in the infirmary so I left him there." It was Ichigo, looking around he can see the gathered crowd surrounding Moka and the girl that was with Tsukune earlier 'Kurumu wasn't it?' "What's going on here?"

Moka looked like she was going to say something but was beaten by Kurumu who appeared in front of Ichigo. "Hello Ichigo, I'm sure you remember me. I just come to ask; would you be my friend?" When she finished speaking a wave of malicious intent was released and Ichigo looked towards the owner only to see Moka with her head down and shaking slightly.

Ichigo spoke in a questioning tone, careful not to make the situation any worse. "Moka? What's wrong?" 'Oh Kami she looks pissed'

Whatever dark thoughts Moka was having Ichigo managed to snap her out of it because she said almost desperately "You're being tricked Ichigo! That Kurumu doesn't really want to be your friend!"

As if to undermine everything Moka said, Kurumu put on a cute pout and exclaimed in an almost winey voice "Moka~~ That's not nice! Of course I want to be Ichigos friend." As if in an attempt to Prove she wasn't lying she hugged Ichigo.

Moka saw how Kurumu purposely rubbed her bust against Ichigo's chest and judging from his reacting he probably thinks it's by accident. Moka shouted almost desperately at Ichigo. "Please Ichigo! Hurry up and get that girl off you!"

Ichigo was torn by what to do; on one hand Moka wouldn't lie to him for no apparent reason, but on the other, Kurumu didn't seem like a bad person that would do bad things to people. But before he could even come close to a decision, he felt Kurumu put more weight on him and say in a meek voice "How awful… how can you say such things? Aah I'm getting dizzy again. Can you take me to the Infirmary Ichigo?"

Ichigo looked down at Kurumu to check if she was alright but as soon as he looked into her eyes an almost invisible wave shot out of them and engulfed him. He briefly heard her whisper 'charm' before his mind felt clouded, the feeling he was getting felt similar to just before Moka bites his neck. 'What is this feeling? I looked into Kurumu's eyes, she said charm, and I feel dizzy… so is this an ability of whatever monster she is?'

Moka looked nervous while saying "P-please, believe me… that girl is dangerous Ichigo! She wants to eat you!"

"Oh really… and you're any dif-" Ichigo went wide eyed and quickly shut his mouth realizing what he was about to say. 'What the hell was that!'

Kurumu frowned and said "Ichigo look me in the eyes." He did it before even registered what she said "Good. Now… Charm!" this time she said it almost shouting. Ichigo felt his mind become unfocused and the dizziness increased nearly three times. "Now finish what you were going to say."

In an emotionless voice Ichigo said "Don't you 'eat' m-" Ichigo stopped himself once again from saying something he didn't want to.

Moka recoiled as if she had been physically been hit because she knew what he was going to say… 'And its true isn't it? I just suck Ichigo's whenever I want and he's only suck blood from me once. And to make it worse… he doesn't drink as much blood as a healthy vampire should.' When Moka finished her thoughts she was barely containing her tears, but when she saw how Kurumu was holding Ichigo it pushed her over the edge, she ran away while crying.

Ichigo felt like an absolute jackass for making Moka cry, even if he didn't mean what he said he still said it. So he was going to apologize to her "Moka! Wait I didn't mean it!" but it was too late. 'Damn it! She's gone'.

Kurumu managed to hold in a dance at her mini victory and decided to direct Ichigo back to the Infirmary were she had told Tsukune to stay. "Ichigo we have to get to the infirmary."

After 10 minutes of walking down halls and avoiding people as best they could, they reach the infirmary and fond Tsukune sitting in a chair at the far side of the room apparently lost in thought, or more likely, in a similar situation to Ichigo. When Kurumu was inside she ran up and jumped on the bed next to where Tsukune was sitting. On the outside it just appeared like she a look of excitement and joy as well as having extended her… tail? 'Oh well, looks like she's a monster with a tail.' Ichigo added as a slightly depressed thought, and he would have found it funny how her tail was wagging like a happy dog if he was in a better mood, but on inside Kurumu was ecstatic 'I did it! I finally did it! I made that annoying Moka cry! Haha Yahooo did you see that pitiful face!? I can't take it!'

Ichigos thoughts were a little different from Kurumus own 'I have to apologize to Moka… but I doubt Kurumu is just going to let me walk out without her doing that 'charm' ability she has. Hmm… but she could use Tsukune against me if I tried to use force... Damn it!'

Kurumu calmed down so she could finish her 'battle' of feminine charm. 'Now all I have to do is make Ichigo and Tsukune my slaves and I win… but which one first? Hmm…well Tsukune does smell delicious~. ' That's it, she decided on Tsukune first. "Tsukune…."

Tsukune was forcibly broken from his vegetable state of mind when he found his face buried in Kurumus chest. 'WHAT?! What's going on?! I just brought Kurumu here and then… I… can't…. remember.'

Kurumu spoke up and her voicesounded almost angelic "Sorry for making you wait Tsukune… I'll make it up to you in a second…

[/\/\/\] (10 minutes earlier: Moka) [/\/\/\]

Moka ran as fast as she could until she was all alone outside one of the many school doors sitting on a step thinking to herself with slight tears in her eyes. 'I wonder… want am I to Ichigo? Hmm… do I really just want Ichigo's blood?... NO he's my friend! I just…' The ruby-like centre of the rosary gained a faint red glow and formed an eye but Moka failed to notice this.

A cold, deep but definitely feminine voice spoke form seemly nowhere with an almost exasperated tone. "Naïve one… Ichigo is just being manipulated' Outer Moka looked around to find the voice as it continued 'It's called a charm… It's a work of sorcery which turns the opposite sex into your slave."

When Outer Moka found the source of the voice she spoke up "What's going on?... A voice coming from the rosary…"

Inner Moka answered for outer Moka's sake "I am another you… I'm using the rosary as a medium through which to talk to you from the depth of your inner psyche…"

Outer Moka whispered almost in awe "Another me…"

Now that the questions were out of the way Inner Moka could say what she made contact to say "The succubus is a monster that seduces males. A male who receives a kiss from a succubus is doomed to be her slave for all eternity… Hurry…. at this rate Ichigo and Tsukune will be made into Kurumu's servants."

[/\/\/\] (Present time: Infirmary) [/\/\/\]

Kurumu had moved Tsukune from his chair over to the bed she was on so that he was underneath her with his hands by the side of his head, both mildly blushing. Tsukune saying a nervous 'Ku-Kurumu' before she slowly closed the distance between them making Tsukune's mind rush a mile a minute 'Definably strange. When I look into Kurumu's eyes, I start spacing out! This isn't good… if I don't do something… but, then again… she is pretty cute.' Aaannnnddd he is back under charm spell.

While Tsukune was still trying to understand why his mind was so clouded and why he keeps thinking about Kurumu, she was murmuring her own line of thoughts unconsciously; soft enough no-one could hear it… except for a certain black haired vampire. "Even my heart is starting to race, but… with this kiss, the charm spell will be complete… with this kiss and one more I can get back at Moka Akashiya!"

That was enough for Ichigo to know he needed to stop this, besides he's next and the only person he wants is Moka… 'Wait! Were the hell did that come from!' Ichigo blushed but seeing how close Kurumu was to finishing her job he pushed his embarrassment down and silently but swiftly moved over to the bedside without the pair noticing, probably to focused on each other. Mere millimetres just before lip contact could be made; Ichigo grabbed hold of Tsukune's arm and pulled him slightly to the side, whether by reflex or shock, Tsukune pulled his arm back with enough force that he semi- hugged Kurumu with the arm instead of kissing her. Ichigo discreetly moved away from them so as to not attract any unwanted attention seeing that they were kinda stunned.

The shock must have broken Tsukune out of the spell because he was looking around rather confused and lost like. "What am I doing? …Kurumu? How did we get here? Hey… are you ok?"

Kurumu had sat up but had her head down with her bangs covering her eyes and was shaking slightly, all in all… the essences of cold fury about to snap. "It… can't be" 'Although I made it so he can't possibly resist, he avoids a kiss and hugs me in spite of it.' "Why…" Now see looks him in the eyes and almost shouts "Why do you hate me that much? Is she so much better than me?"

Tsukune was very dumbfounded and said in an equally dumbfounded voice "What are you talking about Kurumu!? I don't hate you and I don't think anyone is better than you! I really like you!" Tsukune blushed a bit but the severity of the situation stopped him from becoming too embarrassed.

For a moment it looked like Kurumu was going to calm don but soon after yokai energy started pouring out and she shouted "Don't lie to me Tsukune! I did everything I could for you! Even though some of those things I did were embarrassing, if you really liked me you would have kissed me!" Dark purple wings shot out from her back, her nails extended into claws and her tail became extended again while she started flying about a metre of the ground.

Tsukune started to back away with an expression of fear as well as sadness while Ichigo moved forward in order to fight if necessary but hopefully he could avoid it, so with determination set on his face and in his voice he said. "Kurumu, you don't need to fight! What Tsukune said is true! We don't hate or think anyone is better than you."

Unfortunately his words were for naught to the enraged succubus. "Just shut up! I'm going to destroy anything that has to do with her!" To steel her resolve she remembered why this started in the first place 'Until now, I'd never lose to anyone…. If only Moka Akashiya wasn't here… that's why I must get rid of her and her friends!' Before she could follow through with her goal though, the object of her enraged thoughts bust through the door.

In an almost desperate voice Moka shouted. "Stop it Kurumu!" One thing was going through Moka's mind; 'Stop Kurumu!' Now was that for entirely heroic reasons? Probably not but it doesn't matter. Moka practically shouted "Keep your hands off them!" before she rushed forward and pushed Kurumu out the window with such force that she was sent flying away from the buildings and over the dead forest.

Ichigo and Tsukune was gobsmacked that the gentle one of the vampires could even do such a thing. They were bought out of their stupor when Moka spoke up "You two should run while there's still time."

Ichigo responded with a tad of defiance "I don't know what exactly is going on but I'm not going to leave you here by yourself."

Moka was genuinely touched by Ichigo's words; nobody she can remember has ever genuinely cared for her as much as Ichigo has for the short time she has known him. She gave him a light smile and spoke in a gentle voice "Thank you Ichigo and…. I'm sorry you got wrapped up in this… you see, that girl is a succubus and is trying to get revenge on me… in order to get it she's targeted you and Tsukune."

While Tsukune was left in a shaking mess at that piece of information, it basically confirmed Ichigo's thoughts on why this was happening. "That doesn't change anything. I'm still staying here to help you-"

Before too much more could be said Kurumu spoke up from outside the window after having returned from her improvised flight "…Hmph…. To be pushed so far… this truly is the strength of a vampire... Now come here and fight me!"

In response to the challenge Ichigo jumped from the 3rd story window on to the ground below forming a small crater underneath him. When Moka saw Ichigo jump down she knew she had to get down ASAP so…. She followed suit in her own way.

Ichigo heard Moka shout out his name he looked up only to see her standing on the ledge for a split second before she jumped similar to he did. Using vampiric speed, strength and reflexes he caught and broke her fall, after he put her down Ichigo spoke in an angry voice "Moka! What the hell?! What if I hadn't of caught you!?" in a worried voice he finished "You know you don't have access to your vampire powers."

Moka smiled slightly and said softly "But you did catch me…." she gently grabbed Ichigos hand and brought it up so it was just hovering above her rosary and chest which brought out a mild blush from Ichigo before she continued "Please… hold onto the rosary for me, ok?" and with that, she brought Ichigos hand down until the familiar 'chink' was heard and Moka unleashed a huge amount of yokai energy, her hair followed by changing from pink to silver, her eyes from emerald to blood red, her butt and bust increased slightly which indicated the final change.

Back with Tsukune in the infirmary, he was stealing his resolve to stop the fight from taking place because he considered both parties his friends and really didn't want to see them fight but he didn't understand why it was taking place anyway. So with a set resolve he started making his thought the various halls and staircases that the mostly unknown human had to take.

Ichigo felt, after taking of the rosary, his own vampire energy being 'eaten' away by the silver in the cross. His eyes returned to their natural amber brown colour and his black hair seemed to fade away to orange but, unlike the first time, his hair at the ends stayed pitch black, a fact that seemed to have been missed by all present.

Kurumu became sick of waiting but was also intimidated by the release so she dive bombed towards Moka at extreme speed with her claws extended in hopes of ending this quickly and without much effort. Moka side stepped the attack quite easily and it was only once Kurumu was back in the sky did the full extent of her attack show. All of the trees that were in the path of the attack slowly started to slide down and reveal they were cleanly cut through above the base, similar to a knife through butter with how much ease Kurumu showed while doing it.

Kurumu spoke up from her place in the sky with begrudging respect. "Well.. it looks like you're not just muscle. Too bad you're still going down, there's no way I'd lose! We succubi seek a 'destined encounter' among the men we tempt! In order to keep our small species from dying out, we must carefully pick one man out of many to be our destined one. You got in the way of that Akashiya Moka! I can't let you get away with that no matter what!"

Inner Moka looked on with a challenging smirk and replied calmly. "So you have attacked me and the people outer Moka holds dear because men have not fantasised about you enough? Frail egotistical woman…. Realize your place." Her words did nothing but infuriate the succubus more.

Kurumu started another dive towards Moka with a mighty war cry, and like last time, Inner Moka dodged calmly but unlike last time once Kurumu passed, Moka jumped after her and grabbed her tail. Moka mutter 'slow' to herself before she pulled the succubus back to the ground with an audible thump and she rapidly spun around building up momentum than launching Kurumu into the dead forest. She bounced along the ground a few times then smashed throw trees before she painfully was brought to a stop when she hit a boulder, looking up through hazy eyes Kurumu saw Moka slowly walking towards her.

"That attack was to straight-forward… have I driven you into a panic induced state where you make rash decisions? Hmph though you act like a devil, you're just a naïve little girl." Moka stated in condescending tone before switching to an ominous one "I'll make it so you can never stand up to me again." With dark energy visibly radiating off Moka it was an intimidating sight.

Tsukune came running alone the path of destruction left after Mokas throw, with Ichigo trailing slightly behind walking. When they came to a stop Ichigo was standing next Moka while Tsukune was standing protectively in front of Kurumu with his arms spread out.

The first to speak was Moka who sound confused "What is this? Move! Was this not the woman who not only tricked you but tried to kill you?" when Kurumu realised Tsukune was protecting her she was happy… until she remembered what Moka said was absolutely true, but before she could go further into her thoughts Tsukune spoke.

"This is enough… I don't believe Kurumu was actually doing this out of purely bad intentions. It's just I can't see Kurumu as a truly bad girl at heart." At the end of his speech Tsukune was smiling sheepishly while Kurumu looked on blushing awestruck.

Ichigo spoke up in a light hearted tone "Heh… that's just kinda like Inner Moka if you think about it." Said girl gained an annoyed look before it changed to confidence.

Moka snatched the rosary out of Ichigo's hand and quickly denied his claims "Hmph… don't misunderstand, I just didn't want your blood to be stolen away from me. I'm definitely different from the other Moka and especially the succubus."

She was just about to reattach the rosary before in a daring show of bravery… or maybe stupidity; Ichigo snatched the rosary right out of Mokas hand. "Hmm…. and what if I don't believe that? I think you're a softie." Ichigo finished with a challenging smirk while Moka had a scandalized look.

"Well then your poorly mistaken. Now hand over the rosary!" Mokas words fell on deaf ears though because Ichigo just started walking away.

Tsukune and Kurumu were silent during the entire exchange but were now trying not to laugh at the silver haired vampire towards the end; unfortunately it was a losing battle, so in fear of a fight they simply run after Ichigo.

After a few moments of wondering 'Did that just happen?' Inner Moka ran after Ichigo until she caught up with him just outside a doorway into the school building, probably were Tsukune and Kurumu went, and was about to demand he hand over the rosary once more but he simply just tossed it lazily to her.

"Thanks for not going overboard back there. I know you could have." Ichigo said in a sincere voice.

Moka quirked an eyebrow and gained an half irritated expression. "You mean to tell me you took the rosary to get me alone just to say that?"

Ichigo just shrugged. "It's always nice to know what you did is appreciated."

Moka looked away and Ichigo barely heard her a mutter a 'Thank you' but he did hear it, which brought a small smile to his face before Moka brought the rosary back up to the choker with a 'chink' and the process of sealing began as fast as it finished which left the pinkette asleep in Ichigos arms. Ichigo sighed then decided he should take her back to her room but than a thought hit him 'Where is her room?' after much internal debate he settled for sitting on one of the benches that were always never too far from the dorms.

When Outer Moka awoke she found she was sitting down on a bench leaning up against something warm with an arm wrapped around her shoulders, she opened her eyes and discovered it was Ichigo but unfortunate, to her anyway, he also found out she was awake and pulled his arm back before he sat her up properly with a slight blush.

After a moment of silence Ichigo spoke up. "So… how you feeling Moka?"

Moka fidgeted a little bit before answering "I'm fine but…. before the rosary started talking to me…. I think it may be weakening because that never happened before now… If it comes to the point the seal doesn't work anymore… you'd still like me right?" when she finished she had pretty much shrunk into herself and looked ready for rejection which was tearing Ichigo apart on the inside.

Ichigo put on a small, but true, smile he usually reserves for his family before saying "Of course Moka. You'll always be the same person to me and I'll always be your friend, ok? Never forget that."

Moka in turn nodded and gave a true smile like Ichigos but this one was much bigger, soon after it gained joy to it before Moka said with unrestrained excitement. "Come on Ichigo we got the rest of the day to enjoy." And so… they left to do just that with each sporting a happy smile, big and small.
