Anyway, here is the final part of the Family Vacation arc.
Even though it's really short, please enjoy.
Also if you have not Followed this story for updates, please do as I'm no longer able to let you guys and gals know by PM whenever a new chapter is posted.

From the previous chapter:
"Tsukune... would it be alright... if I sat down for a moment?" Moka said as she admired the surrounding area as she felt light-headed suddenly, for no particular reason.
"Huh? Are you alright?" he asked his mate.
"No. I uh," she said as she wobbled from side to side.
That was all Moka could reply. Her vision then grew dark as she slipped into unconsciousness.
"Moka!" Tsukune said as he reached out and caught her by her arm, before she tumbled to the hard, cold, floor below. His parents and grandmother profusely panicked and quickly encircled the fallen vampiress.
Family Vacation Part 3
"Mommy! Mommy! Wake up! Please! Mommy!" Tamiko wailed as she bent down to her level, and shook her surrogate mother in an effort to rouse her, somehow.
"Moka! Hey! Wake up! Moka... get up. Moka," Tsukune said as knelt to her still form as he tilted his head to the right and placed his ear against her chest as he checked for her heartbeat. It was audible to him, but was rather slower than it should have normally been.
The raven-haired male then sat up and placed the back of his right hand on her forehead after he brushed the auburn hair out of the eyes.
"Sweetie, what happened? Why did Moka pass out?" Kasumi said as she attempted to quiet her granddaughter, who still cried her eyes out.
"This is my fault. I shouldv'e known something was wrong with her, but she said she was fine earlier," Tsukune said with a sigh as he looked at Moka, who just rested there, peacefully.
"What do you mean, sweetie?" Kasumi asked as she knelt herself and examined Moka, unsure of what had happened and more importantly, why.
"Mommy... don't leave me, please. You have to wake up, mommy. Please wake up! Wake up, mommy!" Tamiko pleaded loudly, as a flood of tears slid down both of her pink cheeks.
"She's still breathing but she won't wake up. And her body is cold, too," he calmly said to his family as he gently scooped her up in his arms as he looked around for the nearest way out.
He had an idea of what had happened to Moka, but decided to remain quiet until she was safely far away from the prying eyes of the general public. Although it was not as crowded as it usually were, during a long holiday, he silently wished for no unwarranted interruptions.
Tsukune desired to keep a low profile and not alert the aquarium staff as to what had transpired, just a few, moments ago. They would have most likely called an ambulance for the young woman, who just so happened to collapse on their property. That would not bode well for the vampire couple, as normal people were still not privy to the existence of yokai or ayakashi.
The entire Fairy Tale fiasco and the accompanied confrontation against Alucard in Yokohama during his second year of high school, was covered up by the Japanese government naturally, and all the survivor's memories were altered via magic by the Headmaster of Yokai Academy. Everyone who saw what had happened were all led to believe that it was the result of a disaster with origins of the natural kind.
"Mommy... mommy – please wake up," Tamiko lamented as Kasumi held her tightly and did not let go of her.
"Don't worry, honey. She'll be fine, I hope. I just gotta get her out of here as soon as possible," Tsukune said in a calm voice, even though he was more distressed than any of them.
His grandmother had not a clue as did anyone else, to what was wrong with Moka.
It went without saying that Tamiko had thought of the worse-case scenario, since she was the youngest and thereby the most impressionable one of her new family. Couple that with what she had gone through with her birth mother, the 'other' Moka, just a few, short, months ago.
Tsukune carried an unconscious Moka down another corridor just as he spotted the closest exit, that led out of the aquarium. The remainder of the Aono clan followed him, hot on his heels, as they were just as perplexed as Tsukune was, by the unforeseen, turn of events.
Once he kicked the heavy, metal, door open with his left foot, he found a bench that was located on the rear side of the large building not too far from his current location. Thankfully, nobody else was around in the surrounding vicinity.
His family members quickly caught up to him a moment later and saw that Moka still remained motionless and was laid out on the red, wooden, bench, with Tsukune on her right-hand side. He had just removed his Rosary, as well. It was something he never planned on but thought it best to be ready whether it was something he had to do, or not.
His Grandmother Aono nearly fainted when she saw his vampire self.
His parents and Tamiko walked up to and stood behind him while his grandmother waited behind nearby and just watched on with concern, about Moka's state of well-being.
"Sweetie, what's going on? And why did you remove your Rosary?" his mother asked, anxiety clearly marked upon her features.
"She needs blood and I'm gonna give it to her. Could you maybe, block what I'm about to do? Please? It's kinda embarrassing as I've only done this once before," he politely asked as he still had all of his attention focused only on his blood-mate, Moka.
"You're giving her your blood?" Koji asked in a shocked tone of voice.
"Yeah, but could you guys just look away for a few minutes? Hopefully that can somehow wake her up, I hope."
"Um – sure sweetie. Just do your best, alright? Come on Tamiko, you too," Kasumi said as all four of them turned around and gave Tsukune some privacy.
"Thanks mom," he said as he knelt on the soft grass and came closer to Moka's neck. Tsukune also unbuttoned the three, small, buttons of her pink polo shirt for easier access. He then cocked his head slightly sideways as he opened his mouth. After he licked her neck with his tongue, he pierced her tender, white, flesh with his razor-sharp fangs.
'Please. This has to work. It's gotta work, somehow. I love you Moka,' he said to himself as he thought only of his mate and very best friend.
As he injected her with his Shinso blood, a soft, golden light surrounded the pair. That light was a sign of his vampiric ability known as "Transfusion" and that it was readily accepted by her, in turn.
Tsukune continued to administer his vampire blood into her for several, silent, seconds.
A moment later, much to Tsukune's amazement, Moka slowly started to stir.
He quickly removed his fangs from her neck and then sealed up with his tongue the small holes, which resembled a small, purplish, bruise that would fade shortly. Tsukune reached out and held her hands in his own as he breathed out a huge sigh of relief.
It would seem as though the blood injection was a complete success.
"Uh... Tsukune?" Moka inquired, as she slowly fluttered her hazel eyes open and saw that she was outdoors, with the clear, blue sky above her.
"Hey beautiful. Welcome back," he said as he helped her to sit up. She wobbled a bit when she was upright, as she still felt light-headed to a certain extent.
"Welcome back? What happened? And why are we outside?" she said as Koji, Kasumi, Tamiko, and her grandmother then turned their attention towards her.
"You fainted about ten minutes ago. Don't you remember?" Tsukune asked.
"No, I don't. The last thing I remember was seeing those seals in the exhibition. And then I woke up out here."
"I see. When was the last time that you drank any blood?" he asked with an inquisitive look upon his brow.
"I um... well, you see... um. It's not that... um," she sputtered out as she poked her index fingers together out of nervous habit.
"Moka? What's going on? You're always so strong and healthy. What gives?" her mate asked as he effortlessly pulled her to her feet. Moka then hung her head low as she let out a heavy sigh.
"I'm sorry love. I felt so strange being around all that water. I guess it was too much for me to handle," she said with a slight frown. Tsukune wrapped his arms around her narrow waist and hugged her lovingly, yet firmly.
"Oh Moka. Why didn't you say anything before?" he said as his heart went out to her.
"I did, but I didn't wish to ruin our day out," she answered as she returned the embrace and shed a solitary tear.
"I knew coming here was a bad idea, but I thought you'd be able to handle it. You were fine at the zoo last year in Sapporo. Remember?" he asked as he still held her close and refused to let her go.
"No love, it was a wonderful idea. I had a lot of fun today, up until I fainted that is. I thought that I could manage being around all this water, here, as well. But last year was much different. They only had a few variety of marine life, unlike this enormous fish-tank. I guess it was far, too overwhelming for me and I passed out."
"It's okay, right everyone?" Tsukune said as he released Moka as her family quickly gave her a group hug. Tamiko cried tears of relief and joy. She had worried for naught and Tsukune knew precisely what to do. For that the little vampire girl was rather thankful for.
"Thank you all very much for worrying over me and I apologize if I caused all of you any trouble, as well," Moka said with a deep bow of gratitude.
"As long as you're alright dear, then that's what matters the most. And sweetie, please go back to your other self. You're kind of scary looking," Grandma Aono said with a weak smile.
"I'd have to disagree, grandmother. He is rather handsome, if you ask me. No offense to you of course," Moka said with a smile as she gazed into Tsukune's ruby-red eyes. She wanted nothing more than to take advantage of her mate right there, but would wait of course.
"None taken, Moka dear," Tamiko senior replied with a small smile.
"Oh right, sorry about that grandma. I guess I kinda forgot," Tsukune said with a sweat-drop as he re-hooked the Rosary back onto the silver, matching, chain which was wrapped around his right wrist.
Moka caught in him in her open arms once he slumped forward, just as the limiter's magical spell sealed up his yokai.
The male vampire's silvery hair washed over with dark brown as Moka held him close for a few minutes. His grandmother was stunned at his instant transformation from his vampire to human persona. It was rather impressive, how his Rosary worked, truth be told.
When Tsukune came to, he opened his chocolate-brown eyes and looked at his grandmother. Tamiko ran up to Moka and gave her another hug.
"Mommy! I'm so happy that you're okay," Tamiko said as they embraced.
"Thank you, sweetie," Moka replied as she held Tamiko against her abundant bosom.
The poor girl was scared out of her mind that something had terribly gone wrong and she wanted to be much closer to her surrogate mother, than she had been, earlier.
"Is this better now, grandma?" Tsukune asked with a wide, goofy, grin.
"Yes, this is a lot better, no matter what Moka says. No offense, dear," she said as she stood near her son and his wife.
"None taken, grandmother," Moka said with a smile as she held Tsukune's hand in a loving fashion.
"Um, so who's hungry?" Koji asked as he tried to get everybody back on track since it was already well past noon. They still had much more to see and do for the remainder of the day. Everyone raised his or her hands, without hesitation. Grandmother Aono led everyone towards the front of the building in the proper direction of the Market, which was located next door to the Aquarium.
"Um, Tsukune?" Moka asked as she held him back for a moment, their hands still linked.
"What's up?" he replied.
Moka then quickly glomped him and planted a deep, passionate kiss on his lips. The force of the impact from her tackle-hug had knocked them both down to the soft grass below. Tsukune reciprocated the act of love with great ferocity as their tongues playfully wrestled.
Several minutes later, once they decided that they needed to fill their lungs with life-giving air, Moka broke their kiss and stood up. She then pulled down her denim mini skirt since it had ridden up her hips. She then gave her mate a hand up and hugged him once again.
"Thank you for reviving me, love. I guess you knew what I needed, did you not?"
"You're welcome. Yeah, I guess I just kinda knew," he said with a blush as he held her hand in an affectionate manner.
"If it's alright, I would like to properly thank you, once we arrive back at grandmother's house," she said with a devilish smirk upon her pink, pouty, lips.
"Uh – sure, no worries. Just remember that the walls are kinda thin," he said with an all-knowing wink which caused Moka to blush once again from his rather bold reply.
…
After lunch at one of the park's many restaurants, Grandmother Aono wanted to do some shopping as she felt like spoiling her grandchildren, Tamiko especially.
Once everyone entered the huge store, that seemed more for tourists, they all split off into groups so they could peruse the shop's merchandise at a slow, steady pace since there was so much to see.
"Grandma-ma, look, look, look!" the little vampire Tamiko said with a bit more enthusiasm than usual. She had spotted with her keen eyesight something that had caught her child-like interest. Grandmother Aono turned her attention towards her great-granddaughter with a smile upon her features.
"Do you like this, sweetie?" the elder Tamiko asked.
"Yes grandma-ma, it's so cute," she said as she picked up the plush, sea turtle toy and gave it a hug. It was a dark green in color with bright, aquamarine eyes. The turtle's 'shell' was a light shade of beige with darker, green, spots.
"If it's okay with your mommy, then I'll buy it for you as a memento of today," she said as Moka and Tsukune walked over to the two Tamikos. Koji and Kasumi were on the other side of the immense store as they browsed for some tee-shirts, it would seem.
"Oh grandmother, you don't have to," Moka interjected.
"But I insist. Besides, it's my prerogative as her great-grandmother to spoil her sometimes, isn't that right, sweetie?"
"Please mommy?" Tamiko said with puppy-dog eyes, as she showed Moka the stuffed toy in question.
"Alright, as I can see that you've grown rather fond of it," Moka agreed with a tease.
"Yay! Thank you!" Tamiko happily squealed with delight as she gave her mother and great-grandmother a warm embrace of gratitude.
"You're welcome, sweetie. Let's go find your grandparents so we can go pay for it then, okay?" Grandmother Aono said as she held Tamiko's hand as she searched for her son Koji and his wife, Kasumi. Tsukune and Moka remained in the same area as they browsed the immense shop's selection of merchandise.
…
As the Aono family explored the remainder of the immense shopping district, daytime eventually dissolved into evening. Tamiko had played the entire day and had inadvertently passed out once they arrived at the family car, since she had expended too much energy.
Once they arrived back at Grandmother Aono's house, Tsukune carried his adopted daughter inside and then into her bedroom. Moka undressed the little girl and then tucked her into bed. After the couple bid Tamiko goodnight, they both placed a kiss upon her forehead and left her room quietly.
"Um, Tsukune, would you like to – go to bed now? I know it's rather early, but we did have a rather busy day," Moka said as they walked towards the living room to join everyone else.
"Uh, sure. I'm kinda beat, myself," he said with a yawn.
"Um, everyone, if it's alright, we're going to retire for the evening," Moka announced after she and Tsukune met up with his parents and grandmother.
"Are you still not feeling well, Moka dear?" Grandmother Aono asked with concern.
"I feel fine, but just a bit tired. Thank you once again for a wonderful day," Moka replied with a bow.
"Alright. Have a good night you two. Sleep well," Kasumi offered with a smile.
"Thank you and goodnight," Moka said as she held Tsukune's hand.
The vampire couple then disappeared around the corner and down the hallway to their shared bedroom towards the rear of the large, older, house.
…
As soon as Moka and her mate entered the bedroom, Tsukune closed and locked the door behind himself. They both removed their limiters and released their vampire sides. Once the pink and golden lights faded, their silvery hair and red eyes matched each others.
With a smile, Moka slowly began to undress her mate. He took the silent cue and did the same. Tsukune unbuttoned and then pulled the pink polo shirt over her head once she raised her arms. He then neatly folded it in half and set it on top of the dresser. Moka then helped him out of his cargo pants.
She unbuckled his brown, leather belt and then unzipped his trousers. Gravity brought them down to the tatami-matted floor with a soft thud.
He then stepped out of his pants as he helped Moka to unfasten her denim mini-skirt which quickly joined his misplaced cargos. Lastly, she pulled his turquoise tee-shirt over his head and tossed it to the floor below. She then held his hand as she led him over to the futon bed. Once she was comfortable under the soft bedding, she wordlessly removed her pink, cotton, bra and panties. Tsukune took her not-so-subtle hint and swiftly pulled off his blue and white, striped boxers which were lost to the darkness as well. They were then both nude as the day they were born.
"Um – Tsukune, thank you once again for taking care of me today. I really appreciate it,"
"Don't worry about it, Moka. I had to. Even though I wasn't sure what was wrong, I just kinda knew what I had to do, I guess."
"I see. I'm sorry for making you worry, though. I'd honestly be lost without you, my love. You've always been by my side and have saved me from the darkness, more times than I wish to count."
"Oh Moka... I did all of that because I've always loved and cared about you. You do know that, right?"
"Yes love. That is the very same reason why I had saved you time and again with my blood. Even with the risks involved, I had to. I cared about you so much and I could not bear the thought of losing you. You are my everything and I love you so very much."
Moved by her always-honest words, Tsukune cuddled closer to Moka and affectionately.
"You're my everything too, Moka. I've always had eyes, just for you," he said as he pulled her closer for a kiss, which she accepted with great intensity.
A few, moments later, they broke for air and hugged each other lovingly.
"Tsukune... I was wondering..."
"Wondering what, exactly?" he asked as he looked at her and stared into her ruby-red eyes that mirrored his own.
"I guess I realize that I was starving for a normal life... like this – and I don't want to admit it, but – but am I allowed to be this ordinary? Do I really have the right to accept a little piece of happiness, like this? I just want to live my life like an ordinary woman – just for once. Is that too much to ask for?" Moka said as she held her one-and-only mate firmer, as she wished not to let go of him, anytime soon.
"Moka, since the moment I met you – the real you – I knew that my life would never be normal. Look at me... I was once a human that was sent off to a school for monsters, of all places. You know that when I found out what Yokai was, I was honestly scared out of my mind. I knew that I wouldn't make it out there alive if I hadn't met you.
Tsukune took a deep breath and continued:
"Even though Mikogami set everything up, one thing I know for sure... is that meeting you on the first day, changed my life, for the better. I wanted to leave that scary-ass school the next day and never look back, but I stayed... for you Moka… because you needed a friend. And there's nothing wrong with being ordinary or being happy, like this. So if you want to be ordinary, then that's fine with me because I love and accept you for who you are."
"Oh Tsukune... thank you my love," Moka said with a happy tear in her eye as she placed her head on Tsukune's chest and left it there for the time being. Tsukune then wrapped his left arm across her back and pulled her even closer.
With a contended sigh, both teens closed their eyes and were fast asleep before either of them had realized. Whatever the future held for these two, they would face it together and would always be there for one another, no matter what. That was their destiny.
