A/N: Sorry for the delay of this new chapter as I was having a bit of writer's block and decided to drop the previous idea I mentioned in the last chapter. This chapter takes place towards the end of April. Moka and Tsukune will be celebrating their one year anniversary as a couple and blood-mates. Please enjoy!

Thanks to Ruananana from fanfiction for help with one line of dialogue in particular.

Beta by Train48, ColressLawliet, and PropertyOfLamb on deviant art. Thanks again for the help!

By the way, I do not under any circumstances support under-age drinking. They are fictional characters, even though Moka gets a little tipsy in this chapter! Thanks! :)

UPDATE: 9 PM, Oct. 19.

Caught a few minor errors that I had to fix which didn't affect the overall flow and plot of the chapter.

Friday April 24, Aono residence. Kanazawa, Japan. 9PM.


...

"Daddy... can you please tell me a bedtime story?" Tamiko inquired with a small smile. The ebony-haired male smiled in return to his adopted daughter's request. He was dressed in a teal, short-sleeved, button-down shirt with a sharp-looking pair of black, pinstriped slacks.

"What kind of story?" he asked. He had some spare time while he waited for Moka to get ready for their night on the town. It was their one year anniversary and he wanted the night to be perfect.

"Um... oh I know! Tell me how you and mommy met," she said after she gave the question some thought. The little vampire then settled herself under the soft, plush, blanket of her bed.

"Alright then. Well – it was almost four years ago this week. It was my first day of high school. Since I had failed my entrance exams, my parents were worried that I wouldn't be able to attend high school and possibly become a dropout. But my dad had found a flier for a private school he had never heard of – Yokai Academy. My mom was happy of course, since the cost of going there would be covered by the school itself. Anyway – the day finally came and I boarded the bus to Yokai. My parents said goodbye to me and asked for me to call at least once a week. I was a bit nervous of course and the creepy bus driver made it even harder. He told me the school was a scary place and that I should watch my back."

"Really daddy?" Tamiko said as she was deeply engrossed in his story.

"Yep. Anyway... the bus soon entered a dark tunnel on the edge of town then was suddenly surrounded in strange, colorful lights. About ten minutes later, the bus exited the weird tunnel and came out into a strange place. The sky was red as was the ocean by the cliff. The bus driver wished me luck and dropped me off right there. I had only seen places like that in horror movies and wondered to myself where my folks had sent me off to. As I was walking towards the school down the spooky pathway through a dead forest, I felt as though I was being watched or followed by someone. I then heard a screeching sound above me and found out it was only a talking bat, which freaked me out even more."

"A talking bat? Like Ko-buddy?" Tamiko asked with childlike wonder.

"Well, yeah. Just like your Aunt Kokoa's familiar. A minute later I heard another sound coming up from behind me. The next thing I knew, I was hit from behind by a pink bike and was on the ground. When I came to a few seconds later, I felt something soft and squishy. I then opened my eyes and discovered that I had landed on top of a girl. Actually, the cutest girl I'd ever seen in my entire life. As soon as I realized where I was I jumped up and looked away for a second. She apologized to me right away and said she had gotten dizzy from anemia. I thought I was dreaming and told myself that maybe coming to the school wasn't such a bad idea after-all. She then got up and said I was bleeding. She then told me that she was sorry and couldn't control herself because she was a vampire and that her name was Moka Akashiya. The next thing I knew, she was on top of me and then drank my blood."

"Oh... that's so cute." Tamiko said with a toothy grin.

"Well, I was shocked of course. I had this cute girl on top of me who just called herself a vampire. I guess you can call it fate, karma or just dumb luck, but your mom and I were destined to meet... even though the sneaky Headmaster planned everything out from the very beginning," Tsukune said with a contented sigh.

"Really daddy?" Tamiko asked with a wide grin.

"Yep. Even if me going to Yokai was set up by the Headmaster, I don't have any regrets. We became the best of friends and eventually fell in love with each other."

...

"That's right, sweetie. Meeting your daddy changed my whole outlook on life in general, especially towards humans. Besides, if I had not met him on the first day of high school, I most likely would not be here today. We saved each other more times than I wish to count," Moka said as she walked into Tamiko's room and looked radiant as always.

Without a doubt, Moka Akashiya was the pinnacle of physical perfection with the body of a Greek Goddess.

The auburn-haired vampiress wore what could only be described as a "little black dress". The hem of the garment rested several centimeters above her knees. The deep, scoop neck offered a generous view of her spectacular cleavage. The elastic-like material hugged her voluptuous body like a second skin, almost as if it were painted on her flawless physique. She wore a little makeup, which enhanced her natural beauty, along with a simple, silver necklace and matching hoop earrings. Slung over her left shoulder, she wore her small, leather, purse which was of the same ebony hue.

"Mommy! You look so pretty," Tamiko commented. Tsukune stood up from his daughter's bed and gave his mate a warm embrace. He deeply inhaled her womanly scent which caused his fangs to throb with a dull ache.

"Wow... you look really gorgeous, Moka," Tsukune said in awe and was on the verge of a nosebleed.

"Oh – thank you both. And you look very handsome yourself," she replied to her mate in a seductive tone.

"No problem and uh, thanks. I guess we should head out soon," Tsukune said as his face flushed red from her honest compliment.

"Yes, I agree. Sweet dreams, sweetie. Both of your grandparents will be here if you need anything. We love you very much," Moka said to Tamiko after their brief hug.

"Goodnight mommy and daddy. Have a lot of fun but not too much. I love you too," Tamiko said after her surrogate parents both gave her a hug and wished her pleasant dreams. After they turned off her bedroom light, they walked downstairs hand-in-hand and were met at the bottom of the stairway by the elder Aono couple who were all smiles.

"Oh my – look how great you two look," Kasumi commented which caused the teen pair to blush brightly.

"Thanks," Moka and Tsukune replied in unison.

"Listen to yourselves. You sound like you've been married for as long as we have," Koji joked as he wrapped his right arm around Kasumi's shoulders and pulled her closer to himself who noticed that Moka had that look in her eyes. The look of a new mother, if it were.

"Moka dear, don't worry. You go out and have a nice time. Tamiko's in good hands."

"Are you sure you don't mind watching her?" Moka asked in a semi-nervous tone as she furrowed her brow.

"Of course not. It's a big night for you two, so don't worry about a thing, okay? If anything comes up, we'll call you right away," Kasumi said with a warm, reassuring, smile.

"Mom's right. Let's go and have some fun," Tsukune said with a warm smile that eased Moka's heart. They'd only be gone until the next morning since Tsukune had made overnight arrangements in Tokyo, which was not far away.

"Okay Tsukune. You do have a point. Thank you both again, so very much," Moka said with a bow of genuine appreciation. After the younger couple had put on their shoes, they exited the house and walked down the short sidewalk to the side of the street, where a black Limousine awaited for them. Koji and Kasumi waved to the pair as they entered the dark sedan which was owned by Moka's father, Lord Shuzen. Tsukune had asked his future father-in-law for a favor which he was more than happy to help out with.

As the chauffeur placed the gears in drive and pulled away from the curb, Moka scooted closer to her mate and laid her head on his right shoulder with a sigh. Without saying a word, Tsukune knew through their deep bond that Moka was a bit hesitant about going out of town even though it were only until the next morning.

"Hey Moka. I know you're a bit nervous but you really have nothing to worry about."

"Well, you're right love. I am a little apprehensive about leaving her home. But I guess you do have a good point."

"Have I ever let you down before?"

"Well no..." Moka answered as she held his hands firmly.

"Then stop worrying, okay? Would you like to – you know..."

"Alright... and um – yes. I'd like that very much," Moka said as she sat straight up and placed her hand on Tsukune's lap and gave it a gentle squeeze. He then faced her, placed his hands on her shoulders and gently pulled her on top of himself as he laid down on the black, leather seat.

"Tsukune..."

"Moka..."

"Ah... you smell so good," Moka answered as her breath came out in short pants after she inhaled his wonderful scent.

"It's okay Moka. Everything I am is yours."

"Oh Tsukune... Itadakimasu..." she replied as she opened her mouth, licked the side of his neck, and gently pierced his flesh with her extended fangs.

"Ah Moka... oh kami..." Tsukune groaned with delight as she sipped his warm, sweet blood in small, steady slurps. He wrapped his strong, caring arms around her slender waist and pulled her body closer to his own.

"Tsukune... oh my sweet Tsukune... I... love... you... so... much..."

"Ah... Moka... I love you – and I – need you now..." he said as his vampire senses swiftly took over. He then licked her neck and repeated the act of intimacy that they shared as blood-mates. As his fangs entered her soft flesh, she gasped in ecstasy as their blood-bond intensified in strength.

"OH TSUKUNE!" she bellowed as she licked the small puncture marks on his neck closed with her warm, moist, tongue. Luckily for the vampiress, that the tinted, soundproof glass which separated the driver from them was closed in place.

"Tsukune... oh kami... ahhh... ahhn... ahhh... ahhh.. Tsukune..." Moka moaned over and over again as her mate took his time to savor her sweet ambrosia. A moment later, the sedan entered the tunnel that bypassed through the yokai realm which was shortcut of sorts. They would arrive in Tokyo before they even knew it.

Tsukune drank her blood for another, few moments. Moka meanwhile panted like an animal in heat. She pressed her firm bosom against his chest as she desired to be much closer than she already was and truthfully wanted a lot more. But that would have to wait until after their night on the town, of course.

Tsukune traced his hands down to the small of her back then placed them on top of her firm derriere and gave it a firm squeeze which caused her breath to hitch at the unexpected gesture. He then licked the puncture marks closed with his tongue which dulled to a small, purplish, bruise and held her warm body close.

"Tsukune... thank you again for tonight. There is no other place I'd rather be right now than here with you, my love," she whispered as a warm smile graced her features.

"You're welcome Moka. I just wanted us to have a great anniversary."

"Oh... that's so sweet and so much like you."

"Well, even though I've grown up a lot, I'm still me, Moka," he said with a chuckle.

"I agree. That's true. We've both matured and have been through so much. And I'm only being my true self as well," she replied as she sat up and gave him a bashful smile which caused him to blush even more-so.

Kami, could Moka be any cuter?

"I know it hasn't been easy since we met but we fell in love with each other, which wasn't easy either," he admitted with a heavy sigh.

"No, it wasn't but I'm very glad that we can now live in peace and away from your harem," Moka said with a hint of mischief in her voice.

"Ugh... don't remind me. At least all of the other girls have accepted the fact that we're blood-mates."

"I know love. I was only kidding. Well, all except one..." she answered as she sat up and pulled the bottom of her dress down since it had rode up her hips a bit. Tsukune took the not-so-subtle hint and sat up likewise.

"Yeah. I just don't know why Kurumu can't move on. And why the hell did she join Fairy Tale?" he asked with an exasperated sigh as he pinched his eyes in mild frustration.

"Tsukune, love – please don't think about it, okay? I don't like seeing you like this. You need to stop blaming yourself. Everyone of us girls fell in love with you because of your sincere kindness and bravery. You treated all of us like normal girls, even though we were far from 'normal', especially me."

"*sigh* You're right as usual. And I'm sorry for bringing it up. Well - that's all true and I just wanted to protect all of you, especially you, Moka. You know that I've been in love with you and only you since the day we first met. Nothing's changed since then except you being your true self, even though a small part of your other self is still with you, right here," he said with a smile as he pointed at her heart.

"Oh - It's alright love. That is who you are and I'm very thankful for that. And you really mean that, don't you? About you – being in love with me – the real me – ever since then?" Of course Moka knew it was true. She knew as much since the day she first confessed to him, a year ago to the day.

"Thanks Moka. Well, yeah. Of course. You know this through our bond, right?" he said with a smile as he looked into her hazel green eyes with a warm smile and caressed the side of her right cheek with his left hand.

"Please kiss me... my love," she breathed out. He then leaned forward and captured her soft, pouty, lips in a deep, passionate, kiss. As their tongues playfully wrestled for dominance, they did not realize that the limousine had stopped and they were already at their destination in the Shibuya ward of Tokyo.

"Miss Moka... we have arrived..." came the voice of the chauffeur over the intercom.

Both teens reluctantly ended their five minute kiss before either one passed out due to lack of oxygen. Besides, they had some celebrating to attend to, right? Tsukune slid to his left and opened his door. He then offered his free hand to Moka who accepted it as a bright smile graced her features. After he closed the door behind her, Moka walked up to the driver's side, personally thanked him, and asked him to return in a few, hours' time.

"Welcome to Womb nightclub, Moka," Tsukune said as the driver left the pair until he was needed at the end of the night. It was nearly 10 PM by the time they had arrived and Moka was looking forward to spending a wonderful evening with her best friend and mate.

As with most nightclubs, the exterior of the club may be misleading to first-time visitors; it is rather plain in appearance with no obvious indication of the activity inside. The name of the night-time establishment is only discreetly displayed on the exterior in simple, black letters in both Japanese and English. It's located at 2-16 Maruyama Street, Shibuya ward, Tokyo, Japan.

On leaving the club during the early hours of the morning, security would politely instruct patrons to maintain a low level of conversation, so as not to disturb the local residents in the surrounding area.

As the young couple waited in line, Moka felt somewhat eager as she silently wondered to herself what other plans her mate had in store for themselves. She did not mind but that did not keep her from holding onto his hand firmer than usual. Moka and Tsukune eventually snaked their way to the front of the rather long line where he happily paid their cover charge to the female cashier on duty who was flanked by two bouncers, both clad in black suits.

When they walked through the front door and into the entrance-way, they were both surprised to find a small locker room of sorts. Behind that area, was a small "chill-out" lounge lit up in a deep, blue light. with a bar that ran alongside the length of the right-hand wall.

The main floor, with its giant mirror ball, hung from the second, internal floor. A long, illuminated bar is found at the back of the massive dance floor, which has small, square, multicolor lights embedded in it every, few meters.

Four, colorful, spotlights were anchored to each of the walls, bounced their light off of the mirrored ball and painted the crowd below in ever-changing, spots of light. Depending on the artist, the DJ booth may be on the dance floor itself, as well, which overlooks the main dance-floor. Located adjacent to the DJ booth is another, smaller, bar with open windows that look down onto the floor.

On the fourth, internal, floor was another bar, chill-out lounge, and a DJ usually plays there, as well. The fourth floor, which is primarily for VIP only, has glass walls that look down onto the dance floor, two floors below. For obvious safety purposes, these glass walls do not open.

Once they found a small booth located at the rear of the first floor, Moka sighed happily. The booth was about a meter in diameter and the table was covered with a black, leather tablecloth that matched the semi-circular seat of the booth itself.

"This is really nice, Tsukune. I must admit, you really surprised me tonight," she said as she settled her right hand on his lap and left it there for the time being.

"Yeah, you're right. And well, I just wanted to make tonight memorable, Moka. After everything we've been through, we both deserve this. Besides, we haven't been out on a date for a while," he replied as he scratched the back of his neck with his right hand out of nervous habit. Moka was about to say something but was interrupted since the cocktail server had just shown up and greeted them with a smile.

"Good evening, may I take your order please?" she asked.

The waitress was rather attractive, aged in her mid twenties. Average height and weight with short, ebony hair that came down to her shoulders with matching eyes. She wore a red mini skirt with a simple, black top and color coordinated pumps on her small feet. Across her outfit, she sported an apron, which was black as well.

"Order whatever you like, Moka."

"Um... if that's the case, we'd both like a Bloody Mary, please. Hold the ice," Moka told the server. The waitress then pulled out a pen from her apron and then scribbled their request on her notebook.

"Very well then, miss. I'll be back in a moment with your drink order," she answered with a polite bow. She then trotted over to the main bar to have their beverages prepared.

As the crowd began to trickle into the nightclub, the DJ began to splay some vocal trance. Moka tapped her right foot in beat to the music. A moment later, the cocktail server returned with their beverages which she carried on her small, wooden, tray. She then set a coaster in front of each of them, then settled a drink on top of the coaster itself.

"Here you go. That will be one thousand yen, please."

Moka then quickly opened up her small, black purse and pulled out her wallet. After she found her money, she handed the waitress a 5,000 yen note.

"Thank you miss. Please keep the change," Moka said with a grin.

"Oh! Thank you so very much. If you need anything else, my name is Fuko," the server said with a bow of gratitude. She then excused herself as she had other tables that needed her attention.

"Thanks Moka," Tsukune said as he gave her left hand a light squeeze.

"You're welcome. It's the least I could do, love," she said as she returned the loving gesture.

"Well, um... I guess we should have a toast..." Tsukune replied as he picked up the glass with his left hand.

"Happy anniversary, Tsukune."

"Happy anniversary, Moka."

"Kampai!" they exclaimed in unison as they clinked their glasses together then each took a decent gulp of their Bloody Marys.

"Strong!" Tsukune chocked out as he placed his drink back on the table. His face was flush as the alcohol hit him almost immediately. Moka seemed to be fine though, which he found to be odd.

"M-mm... yes. It is a bit strong, but the tomato juice pales in comparison to your sweet, delectable, blood," she whispered into his right ear.

"Moka..."

"I only speak the truth. You know that as much as I do."

"Well, yeah. I guess you're right," he said with a laugh. That was one thing he could always count on: Moka's always honest words.

"Would you like to dance, love?" Moka asked as a song came on by her good friend, Ayumi Hamasaki.

"Oh sure. Let's go, beautiful," he said as he slid out of the booth and walked around the table to her side. He then offered Moka his right hand which she gladly accepted with a bright grin. They walked over to the dance-floor, hand-in-hand like a couple madly in love.

As the couple walked up to the dance floor, all eyes were on Moka. Every female was insanely jealous of her flawless features and otherworldly beauty. And every male was envious of Tsukune. How did such a plain looking, boring, guy end up with a knockout such as her? If they only knew the truth!

Tsukune and his fiancée danced to several high-energy songs for quite some time, before they decided they needed a well-deserved break. Besides, the dance-floor had become quite congested and it was rather difficult to navigate the mass of bodies that had crowded the huge area. Tsukune grabbed Moka's hand and led her back to their still-empty table. Once the couple sat down, they both gulped down the remainder of their now-warm beverages.

"I don't see our waitress anywhere," Tsukune commented as he searched the thronged vicinity that surrounded the bar.

"Well, would it be alright if we went upstairs instead? I'm sure it would be less packed," Moka replied.

"Oh sure. That sounds like a great idea. Let's go," he said as he held her hand and led her through the throng of party-goers. Once they found the stairway a few minutes later, they walked up towards the fourth floor which was luckily, devoid of anyone, minus a few staff members. Moka was quite relieved as she desired to spend some quiet time with her mate. She had a wonderful time so far but wished to be alone with him since it was still somewhat early.

As they surveyed the top floor, they discovered that there were private VIP rooms which could be used if they spent a certain amount of yen. Each door had a placard affixed to it that read "Bottle Service Only". That loosely translated to "if you purchase a bottle of liquor, you could use the private rooms as you see fit."

Moka spoke to one of the bartenders on duty and ordered a bottle of house Saké. Tsukune was more than happy to split the cost, naturally. After they had paid their bar tab, a hostess walked the pair over to one of the private rooms and unlocked its door with a key that she carried on a lanyard that hung around her neck.

The small room was simply decorated. Along the rear wall, opposite the door, was a large, leather sofa, black in color that complimented the theme of the nightclub. The walls of the room were an off-white color.. Soft, red, recessed, lights illuminated the room itself which was roughly five by seven meters. In front of the couch was a small, rectangular-shaped table made of a dark oak, and stained black as well.

"This is really nice Moka. I'm glad we came up here."

"Yes love, I must agree. And we're all alone here. Just you, me, and a bottle of saké."

"Um, I don't know about you but I'm really thirsty," he said as he took a sip of the rice wine.

"Oh yes. I am as well," Moka said as she repeated the action.

"Hey, this is pretty good," Tsukune replied as he took another sip.

"Not as good as monster durian saké, but it is rather pleasant," she agreed as she drank the rest of the semi-sweet beverage in her glass. She then poured herself another glass and filled Tsukune's to the rim.

"Moka, are you okay?" he asked in a concerned tone. He noticed that her face was more flush than it was just short awhile ago.

"Of course love. But I am feeling warm, now."

"I see. It must be the alcohol, then. Plus we danced for nearly an hour so it's only natural to be warm. Besides, we have our powers sealed, too."

"Ah. Well um... you're right. Um, would it be alright if we – kissed more?" she asked with an adorable blush.

"Of course Moka. You don't have to ask me twice. And you're a really great kisser." He loved seeing this cute side of her and could not hold himself back any longer.

"Tsukune..." she breathed out as she leaned against his chest and gave him a gentle nudge back. He took the not-so-subtle hint and leaned back while he pulled her on top of him. Moka slid off her high-heeled platforms and assisted him to remove his dress shoes as well. Both pair of shoes tumbled to the floor in a heap.

Moka French-kissed her mate as she ran her slender fingers through his spiky, dark hair and pressed her firm bosom closer to him.

'Hold me love... touch me please.'

He then wrapped his arms around her shapely hips, then placed his hands on top of her firm derriere and once again gave it a firm massage which only added fuel to her building arousal. Moka felt as though her body was burning up from the inside. She wanted so much more and began to loudly moan in his mouth.

'Moka... oh kami... I want you...'

'Tsukune... ah... ah... oh... so hard...I need you as well...'

Moka then instinctively rubbed herself against his expanding manhood as she desperately wanted to take him right then and there. She quickly remembered that they were not exactly alone, even though they were far from the prying eyes of the general public at the night-time, entertainment establishment. Besides, she had quite a bad habit of being quite 'vocal' every time they made passionate love with one another.

'Tsukune... we can wait... just a bit longer...'

Moka then ended their ten minute kiss as her lungs fought for life-giving oxygen. She placed her head against Tsukune's right shoulder and could clearly hear his heartbeat which pounded loudly in his ribcage.

"Sorry Moka. I couldn't help myself," he sheepishly replied as he continued to hold her warm body against his own. He heard her loud heartbeat, as well.

"It's alright – I feel the same way, because you are such a good kisser as well, my love," she admitted as she buried her face in the crook of his neck, as her face burned red hot.

"Oh Moka... here... you can – sit on my lap if you'd like to," he said as he coaxed her to do as he requested. Without a moments hesitation, she turned to her left and straddled his lap. The vampiress then draped her arms around his neck and closed the short space between themselves. Tsukune leaned forward and caught her lips in a fervent kiss. He in turn pulled her closer around her hips and pressed his firmness up against her inner thigh.

"Ah, Tsukune..." she gasped out between kisses.

"Moka... oh kami..." Tsukune said as he embraced her even firmer.

"Why – don't we finish – up here and retire – for the evening?"

"That's the best – idea I heard all night," Tsukune happily agreed.

They rapidly ended their kiss and decided to empty the small saké bottle of its contents and call it an early night.

As soon as they were through with their rice wine, they both put their shoes back on and left the VIP room with great speed. Even though Moka acted somewhat frisky she was ready to have some real fun with her mate. Thankfully there was an elevator in the back of the fourth floor that came in handy. The couple both felt a bit tipsy from consuming so much saké in such a short amount of time, especially Moka who had a bit more to drink than Tsukune did.

Once they were outside, the limousine driver saw the duo and pulled up perpendicular to the sidewalk. Tsukune opened the rear, passenger-side door for Moka who smiled at the chivalrous gesture.

"Whoops!" Moka yelped as she almost fell into the backseat. She quickly sat down and acted as though nothing had happened. Tsukune just shook his head and sighed. He decided to not say a word as he did not want to upset her by saying something uncalled for. She pulled him closer to herself and leaned her head on his left shoulder.

"Miss Moka, where to?" the chauffeur asked via the intercom.

"Um, where to, Ts-s-s-ukune?" she slurred out with a silly look across her face.

"How about your condo in Roppongi?" he answered. He planned on renting a nearby, hotel room for the night but Moka's apartment was not too far away from their current location in Shibuya.

"Oh... driver, Mid-Town Tower, pleashhe, in Roppongi Hills – m-mmm," she said into the two-way intercom, then slid back onto the seat, and nearly knocked Tsukune over.

"Very well Miss Moka. We shall arrive shortly," the black-clad driver replied as he placed the car's gears into drive and headed northeast, towards Roppongi.

"Moka? Are you gonna be okay?" he asked out of genuine concern.

"Yep. I'm just peachy... ha!" she said with an awkward wink.

"I'm just worried about you," he answered, followed with a heavy sigh.

"Oh Tshukune, you're sho shweet." She then glomped him and pushed him flat onto the back seat.

"Moka... I'm just being myself. I always worry about you."

"Well I hope sho. I wouldn't want you to be anybody elsh. Ha!"

Moka then laid her head against his chest and closed her eyes. He rubbed her back in small circles and silently prayed to Kami that she would be all right by the time they reached her apartment.

"M-mm. My pillow," she commented with a giggle.

"Oh Moka, you're so cute."

"Shhh. Pillowsh can't talk, hahaha."

"You smell really nice," he said to her.

"M-mm, you too, lover."

"Would you like a little nip before we get to your apartment?"

"M-mmm.. yesh pleashe," she replied as she opened her mouth, licked the left side of his neck, and slowly sunk her fangs into his flesh. Moka happily lapped up his intoxicating blood in tiny sips which caused him to laugh a bit. She reminded him of a kitten drinking a bowl of milk.

Once she was satisfied a few, moments later, she licked the small marks clean with her tongue which caused Tsukune to laugh again from the ticklish sensation.

"Tsukune... I apologize for sounding so ridiculous a bit ago," Moka said as she remained glued in place, in the protective arms of her one and only mate.

"It's okay. I'm not upset if you're wondering. I like seeing that side of you. It was kinda cute," he said with a smile that eased her heart a bit.

"Oh Tsukune. You really are such a sweetheart. I love you so very, very much."

"And I love you too, Moka. Forever."

Their good mood was suddenly interrupted as the limousine driver pulled up to Moka's condo, Mid-Town Tower. After the pair sat up, Tsukune then opened up his door and helped Moka out of the back seat since she was still somewhat dizzy from the saké. Moka walked over to the driver to personally thank him once more and asked him to return in the morning.

Once they arrived inside the massive, marble lobby, Moka opened her black purse and presented her resident ID card to the clerk on duty at the front desk. The clerk in turn gave her the key-card to the apartment on the penthouse floor.

"Okay, Tsukune. This way," she informed him once he found his bearings inside the monolithic, stone lobby.

Moka then walked up to a row of elevators and pressed the 'up' button, with her mate hot on her heels, closely behind her.

Once the express elevator arrived, the silver, metallic, door slid open, they then stepped inside. Moka then passed her key-card in front of the sensor on the control panel, which signaled her floor number. Eighty.

The door then slid closed. The elevator quickly ascended to the predetermined destination.

Tsukune felt somewhat disoriented as the elevator car rapidly accelerated upward at a breakneck velocity. He had to grab ahold of the brass handrail behind himself, so he wouldn't tumble to the floor. Moka saw his bewildered despair and helped him to regain his balance.

"Thanks Moka," he sheepishly replied as she gave him a hand.

"You're welcome, love. Sorry about that. It has been awhile since we were here last," she softly told him. He gave her a quick hug out of gratitude.

The elevator started to gradually slow down a minute or so later, which showed that they were nearly at their stop. The penthouse floor.

* ding ding *

As the doors swooshed open, Moka made a right turn down the hallway to her apartment.

After the duo had walked for what seemed like eternity, Moka stopped in front of a large wooden door, with an electronic locking mechanism on top of where the door handle should be. She swiped her key-card down through the slot on front which unlocked it. A small green light indicated to her that the door was opened.

Moka then walked inside and removed her shoes in the front entrance-way. Tsukune followed behind her, and mimicked her actions.

The ebony-haired vampire then scooped her up in his arms and carried her through the living-room towards the corridor that led to her bedroom that was located at the end of the short hall. Moka blushed bright red at the unexpected action and felt like a princess being held by her prince.

As they approached her bedroom, he then turned the brass handle of her door and carried her over to the bed. After he settled her on top of the soft, plush, mattress, he walked over to and closed the door, and then switched on the overhead light. He made it back to her side in a split-second.

"Tsukune... are you ready for bed now?" she asked in a hushed whisper.

"Oh yes..." he said as he placed his left hand over the silver Rosary that hung off his right wrist on a matching chain and gave it a sharp tug. A bright burst of light signaled his instant transformation into his vampire self. Moka repeated the action as she removed the sterling silver sealing ring from her left, ring finger. Once the pink light faded a moment later, her silvery-hued hair and blood-red eyes mirrored those of her mate.

With a seductive smile, Moka sat up from the bed and pulled her mate closer to herself. She then reached down to the bottom of her short, black dress and slowly inched it up over her self. She made double sure that Tsukune got more than an eyeful of her voluptuous body. She then tossed the restrictive article of clothing to the floor and stood there, only in a pair of pink, silk panties. Tsukune's own clothes were lost in the blink of an eye.

After Tsukune turned off the bedroom light, he climbed into bed next to his mate who was nude as the day she was born. She had to help him with his boxer shorts of course, since she felt that he was not playing fair.

"Tsukune... please take good care of me. I – need you. It hurts – so much," she said on the verge of tears. Silently he pulled her into his arms and started to kiss the side of her dainty neck which sent a shiver of pleasure down her spine.

"Ah, Tsukune... more please," she pleaded. He then turned his attention to her ear which he knew was quite sensitive and kissed the edge of it and gave it a slight nibble. Moka's breathing intensified as she found it challenging to contain her voice any longer. Her nipples were already stiff and her body yearned to be touched and caressed.

"Ah – kami. More... I need more," she begged as she reached down to Tsukune's manhood which was hot and throbbed up against her inner thigh.

He then flipped her around so that he was on top of her. Slowly the male vampire trailed kisses down from her ears to her full, perky breasts and slowly began to massage them. He then took turns to kiss and suckle each of her swollen nipples for several minutes.

"Tsukune... oh more... lower – please."

After he had massaged her bosom, he kissed his way down to her flat belly and then kissed the area around her navel which caused her to squirm, moan, and shudder in delight.

"Lower please... lower..." she requested.

He slowly worked his way down to her flower and tenderly stroked her swollen nub for a few moments, which was begging for attention. Tsukune gently licked it up and down for several minutes which caused Moka to tense up. She then then screamed out in ecstasy as her toes curled in her release; her sweet juices then flowed out like a river that had broken free of a dam.

"Ah – ah – ahhh – ahhhhngh -Tsukune! AHHHHHH!" she yelled out as her voice echoed loudly against her bedchamber walls.

Tsukune immediately dove in and began to drink his fill of her sweet honey. He thoroughly enjoyed the sound of his mate's convulsive climax.

...

As Moka came down from her natural high, she lay motionless on the bed, and panted heavily.

"Ah, Tsukune – that was – wow."

"I'll take that as a compliment," he teased with a grin.

"Yes. I'll say it again – you have - quite a talented tongue," she said in-between breaths.

"Um - thanks."

"M-mm. Indeed. Now it's my turn," she said as she turned to her right, climbed on top of and then positioned herself over his lower waist, then grabbed his full length, and slowly slid it into her soaked flower.

"Oh kami... so big," Moka gasped out as it slowly filled her up.

"Ah, Moka... you're so – warm. Oh kami," he said as she gave him a soft kiss on his lips which caused his member to expand even more-so inside her moist sex.

Slowly and tenderly the couple made passionate love, growing much closer as the flaming romance of their union burned inside of them. Time seemed to draw out for the pair as they were consumed with complete affection and absolute devotion for one another. Their pounding hearts were beating, completely in sync.

"Moka...you feel...so...warm..." Tsukune moaned as she slowed her pace, gently rocking against her mate as the warm tingles of pleasure continued to tingle down his spine. Tsukune felt as though he were the luckiest man in the world to be with such an amazing woman as his Moka.

"Tsukune... oh yes... yes..." she muttered as she continued to slowly rode her mate, lost in her own ecstasy. She leaned forward a bit as she was on the verge of another, equally compelling climax. She also knew that Tsukune was just as close as she was, herself. His manhood pulsed and throbbed madly inside of her.

"Moka... so close... ahhh -"

Moka then quickly increased her rhythm as she bounced harder along her lover's full length.

"Tsukune... oh yes... any second... ah ah ah ahhh ahhh ahhhhngh ahhh ahhhhngh..."

"Moka... Moka... any second... ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhnnngh - TSUKUNE!" Moka bellowed. She then threw her head back in euphoria, as she climaxed forcefully in unison with her mate.

Convulsing from the simultaneous, powerful orgasms, they both surprisingly collapsed from exhaustion. The couple held each closer as they felt nearly inseparable.

Moka and Tsukune had made love for two hours and had properly celebrated their first year together as mates.

Unable to form a comprehensive response, the vampires just continued to embrace each other as their heart-rates returned somewhat to normal levels, several minutes later.

Before either teen had realized, they had fallen fast asleep, still cuddled up to each other. Whatever their long lives held in the future, they both knew in their hearts that they would always be there for one another. After everything they had experienced in the past, few, years, had actually brought them a lot closer than most couples who had been together for decades.

And they were both rather thankful for that.
