Episode Two: My First Friend is a Vampire
(Cherry Blossom Field)
Tsukune looks out of the window of the bus as it drives along, seeing the countless cherry blossoms trees in the fields and their petals flutter by the window.
He is starting to question himself if this was a good idea. After all he is just a human being, being sent to an academy filled with living, breathing monsters that would probably break him into pieces in a couple of seconds, if he is exposed. He must be mad thinking about this. Tsukune's thoughts are stopped when he starts to feels a wet tingle going down his right cheek.
'Damn. This is no time for 'bloody tears'.' Tsukune thought to himself, before grabbing his handkerchief from his left trouser pocket and starts to gently wipe the blood off his cheek.
"So, you're a freshman enrolling at Yokai Academy?" A dark, creepy voice spoke. Scanning the bus, Tsukune realized that it was the bus driver speaking to him. Idiot, there is no one else on the vehicle except for him and the driver.
"Um, yeah." Tsukune simply replied, not quite sure how to start a conservation with the driver.
The driver turns his head slightly, looking at the boy. Tsukune sees that the driver is looking at him, with bright yellow eyes underneath his cap. He could even hear him let out a dark chuckle, before he turns his attention back on the road.
"I hope you know what you are getting into kid." The bus driver said. "It can be a terrifying school."
'You don't say.' Tsukune thought to himself, a bit unnerved by the driver. Is he a monster too? He turns his attention back to the cherry blossoms. 'I mean I am just a human going to school for monsters.'
Tsukune's attention is adverted again as his phone starts ringing, he reaches down into his right pocket and withdrew his phone. Flipping it up and looking down at name and number on the screen, Tsukune recognizes who it is and answers the call.
"Hello, Kyouko-chan?" Tsukune answered.
"Oh, Tsuki-chan, I heard from Auntie. So you are heading to Yokai Academy?" Tsukune's cousin, Kyouko asked.
"Yeah, why do you ask?" Tsukune asked. As the bus starts heading towards a tunnel carved in one of the numerous mountains surrounding the cherry blossom field.
"Well, since my favorite cousin is to be attending that school, I did some research" Kyouko said. "That school is…" She begins, but at that same moment the bus enters into the tunnel and immediately causing the connection to disconnect and the signal lost.
"Hello? Kyou-chan?" Tsukune said into the phone, trying to find if the connection had held in for a bit. "Hello?" He asked again. However, no reply came, so with a sigh Tsukune closed his phone and return it back into his pocket.
Tsukune looks out of his window to see that the bus has left the tunnel and instead a field of cherry blossoms, is instead now a world where the sky seems to the only bare the similarity to world he left, the sun is slowing rising from the horizon and throughout the endless sky were many black rolling clouds scattered above. Tsukune could not believe his eyes, this is like an exact opposite of the cherry blossom field he was seeing just a minute ago.
The entire area were the bus has park is on a vertical cliff side, with the fall leading down into a sea of red. Tsukune exits out of the bus and look further ahead of him, he could see the dense forest of black trees. The trees themselves show no signs of life in them, not even a hint of green. Tsukune then looks out at the vast sea expanding into the distance for who knows how long, with the grey cloudy sky looming above it. This is it, this is what Tsukune has been wanting to see for years. He is now standing in the world of monsters.
"Good luck kid; you need it." The bus driver said, before speeding back into the tunnel, before Tsukune could even look back at the bus that has dropped him behind.
(Interdimensional Tunnel)
As the bus speeds through the tunnel back into the human world, the bus driver was thinking to himself what the Chairman has in mind. "Mikogami; you really know how to pick them out, do you?" The bus driver said to himself, puffing on his cigar. The bus driver starts to remember the last time Mikogami brought a human to the monster world.
Both the new one and the previous were quite happy coming to Yokai. However, the previous one was quite different compared with the new one though. The last one was cold, relentless and believe that he has suffered the worst. But even he cracked under the pressure in just the one year. This boy though, too soft; he looks like the type of person which is more interested into understanding a person's nature then just fight.
'Though, there is something interesting in this boy that the other boy did not have. There is something dark in this one, something very dark.' The bus driver mused in thought.
'I remember as we were heading for Yokai he started to weep tears, but instead of water, it was blood and not the blood that runs through our veins. It seems like this kid has some secrets that not even he knows of.' The bus driver thought, but it quickly hits him and could not help himself chuckle.
"Hehehe, Mikogami I was starting to wonder what makes this one special. This kid that you have chosen Mikogami, is a whole league compared to the last." The bus driver said, before exiting out of the tunnel, back into the human world.
(Forest)
Tsukune is now walking down a path in the forest of black trees, he could now understanding why everyone at school thought of him as a freak and treated he like an outcast. He has rejected the safety of humanity in order to attend a school that no other human student would have heard or even dare come to in that matter. In fact, the information that Kyouko was researching on was probably false.
As Tsukune continues down the path that hopefully leads to the school, he fails to listen to a noise coming behind him until it was too late.
Tsukune feels the intense pain as something hard, slams into his back. As both he and the object, which turns out to be a bike, tumble across the hard ground until they came to a stop. Tsukune, in pain; reaches out his hand, trying to get himself up.
However, instead of the ground, his hand found something else, giving it a soft squeeze it was clearly not the ground. It felt like he had squeezed something soft, like skin. He then hears a gasp, a female voice, if guessing correctly. Looking up, Tsukune sees that his hand is resting on the girl's upper thigh, dangerously close to her shirt.
"Sorry, my eyes went blurry because I am kinda anemic." The girl said, brushing some of her pink hair out of her face. When she did, she opens her eyes and Tsukune finally sees her completely.
She is wearing the standard Yokai girl uniform, a tan skirt, white under shirt, and the green over jacket. Tsukune notices that around her neck is strap of leather with a small chain and sliver cross chained at the bottom. She skin is quite pale, while her cheeks were a little flushed and is looking at him with her green eyes.
There was only one word that registered through Tsukune's mind at that moment when he saw the girl. 'Beautiful…' However, his thoughts were cut off, when the girl starts moving herself. Remembering where his hand is, the girl suddenly gave a face of shock and moves her knees together, Tsukune's hand is now stuck in between her legs.
"Um, um…" The girl shuttered, Tsukune seeing her discomfort withdrew his hand from her legs and moves it away to give her space.
"S-sorry, I thought my hand was on the ground." Tsukune said, apologizing for the inconvenience. Tsukune felt something else on his hand, looking down both he and the girl notice a bit a blood on his hand, probably from a stray rock or something.
"Oh no, you're bleeding…" The girl said, reaching into her pocket and pulling out a small cloth. She moves herself forward, intending to clean the blood off his hand, but she then caught a whiff on Tsukune's blood. Her eyes widen, she stops and has shaking a bit. Placing her left hand to her chest.
"No… this scent… my body is…" She whispers.
'Hm, what scent?' Tsukune thought, he leans over and took a quick sniff of the girl's hair; the smell of her hair was lovely and he could not help but have a pleasant look on his face. 'Is it the scent coming from her hair? Because it does smell nice…' But his thoughts were interrupted when the girl reaches out, grabbing his head, the two looking in each other eyes.
"Sorry, because I'm… a vampire." She said, moving forwards and biting into Tsukune's neck. After a few seconds he realizes that this cute girl is biting his neck and sucking his blood… sucking his BLOOD!
"EEEEEEEEEEHHHHH! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! SHE SUCKED MY BLOOD! SHE SUCKED MY BLOOD!" Tsukune shouted out to the world,
'Actual this makes sense since she is a vampire.' He suddenly thought, but still is running back and forth. Screaming his heart out, with small squirts of blood squirting out of his neck. The girl watches him go with a mix of amusement and curiosity.
"Are you going to Yokai Academy too?" The girl asked nervously, after Tsukune has calmed down a bit. When he looks back at the girl, Tsukune sees that his bag was knocked open during the crash and that she had picked up his information packet.
"Yeah, but I am only a freshman…" Tsukune responded.
"That's great, I'm a freshman too!" The girl suddenly said, getting an excited look on her face.
"I see…" Tsukune said, completely shocked at just how quickly her mood changes.
"Erm… Do you hate vampires?" The girl suddenly asked, fidgeting her fingers together, almost like she is afraid of what might Tsukune's answer might be. Tsukune looks at the girl with a confuse look on his face, standing up from the ground and brushing himself off, he answers her question.
"What no, I love vampires." Tsukune said with a smile. This is actually true because Tsukune always love reading information about vampires, though he hates it when it goes about vampire slaying. Urh, chills him to the bone about what they do.
"I'm so happy!" The girl shouted, jumping onto Tsukune, causing them both to fall again.
Hitting the ground, the girl had him locked with his wrists and is being held down by her knees. "Then will you be my friend?" She asked. All Tsukune could do is nod, baffled by the friend part.
"I'm really glad… I don't know anyone here and I was worried that I wouldn't find at friend. Oh, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Moka Akashiya." The vampire girl introduces her name.
"I'm Tsukune Aono." Tsukune replied, glad to finally know this girl's name. 'I am going to spend my high school days with this beautiful girl and my first friend.' He thought, sending a glance at the school in the distance before following Moka, who is pushing her bike down the path.
(Later, Yokai Academy)
"Hello everyone!" The homeroom teacher said. "Welcome to Yokai Academy. I am your homeroom teacher, Shizuka Nekonome." She smiles, showing her bubbly personality.
Ms. Nekonome is dressed in a white blouse, an orange shirt and low heel sandals. Her eyes look to be closed naturally. But what is having Tsukune's attention, is her sandy blond hair. They seem almost to look like cat ears.
'Hm, the teacher seems friendly enough, but…' Tsukune thought.
"As I am sure everyone knows this, but this is a school for monsters." Ms. Nekonome said, making Tsukune tense up for a second.
'Monsters. So this is no lie that I am now in the world of monsters.' Tsukune confirms his thoughts about it, before he continues listening to the teacher.
"As of now, the world is under the control of humans." Ms. Nekonome continued. "For us, monsters to survive, we have to coexist with the humans." Tsukune thought about saying something to the teacher, but Ms. Nekonome kept on talking, so he will let it go for the moment.
"For that reason, school rule Number One: All students must be in their human forms unless special situations arise." Tsukune signed in relief after hearing that, realizing that not many 'people' would be suspicious of him, with everyone else looking like a human.
"School rule Number Two: No students should know about your true form. Understand? Everyone should follow that rule well." Ms. Nekonome finished.
"Erh, boring rules if you ask me…" A guy sitting next to Tsukune's right said, identifiable by his slicked-back, brown hair.
"You are…" Ms. Nekonome looks down at the classroom roster. "Saizou Komiya-kun, right?"
"Why don't we just eat the humans?" Saizou replied. "That is what I would do anyway." Tsukune stares at Saizou's response with a 'are you serious' face, it seems to Tsukune that some monsters are blunt with their talk about humans.
"But you should not do that." Ms. Nekonome said. "Because every staff and student from head to toe, is a monster. We're under a secret barrier and that any unsuspecting humans that enter Yokai Academy, will be killed on the spot."
Tsukune did a double-take at what the teacher said. 'But what does that make of me?' Tsukune thought. 'It is no brainer that there are some monsters that would like nothing more than to kill me.'
'But didn't Mikogami-san allow me to come and make the connections between humans and monsters or is he just playing a trick on me? Urh, I will never understand.' Tsukune sighed.
"Now that you mention it, I smell a human scent just now…" Saizou commented, while looking at Tsukune. All Tsukune did in reply was glare back at him, hoping that his glare is saying 'What! You think I'm a human, are you nuts!'
At that moment, the door to the classroom slides opens and someone begins speaking. "Sorry for being a bit late!" A female said, hearing the voice Tsukune remembers whose voice it is. "I'm so sorry that I am late." The girl apologizing to Ms. Nekonome again.
"Oh, don't worry, go ahead and introduce yourself to the class." Ms. Nekonome said
"Hi! I'm Moka Akashiya." Moka introduces herself and immediately became the center of attention of everyone's mind in the class. Especially the boys.
"Aw man, she is hot." One student exclaimed.
"I think I have fallen in love." Another student said.
Tsukune lifts his head up, just as Moka look towards his position. Then Moka suddenly launches herself at him into a hug. "Tsukune we're in the same class? I am so happy!" Moka said happily, shocking the rest of the class.
(Later)
Tsukune and Moka are walking down the halls of Yokai; Moka literally has herself clinging onto Tsukune's left arm. While Tsukune is trying to make scene of what is really happening to him. 'I don't get it? Is this a dream?' He thought to himself.
As the two continue walking down the hall, Tsukune notices the glares of hate and jealously from the majority of male students. 'I understand that Moka is beautiful, but does it mean I have to receive the death glares. I already got those when I was in the human world.'
Both of them are now outside, Moka asked Tsukune if they could get something to drink. Agreeing to the idea feeling thirsty himself, so both are in front of drinks vending machine.
While Tsukune gets himself a lemonade, Moka decides to grab a can of tomato juice. Opening there drinks, they both take a sit on a bench together, before enjoying themselves to their drinks.
'Wow. I mean wow, is this girl right here a real vampire? Because her 'human' form is flawless.' Tsukune thought, gazing at Moka's beauty before taking another sip of his drink.
"Hey there sexy, you said your name is Moka Akashiya." A familiar voice said from behind a pillar, his sudden appearance causes Tsukune to spit out a mouthful of lemonade and cough up. Tsukune and Moka turns their heads to see that it is Saizou. Saizou moves forward, grabbing hold of Tsukune's shirt and lifting him in the air like he was but a twig.
"No! Let him go!" Moka cries out, while Tsukune simply watches Saizou, powerless to do anything.
"So tell me, why is a beautiful lady like you, hanging out with a guy like him?" Saizou said, before chucking Tsukune down to the ground in front of the vending machine.
"Tsukune?!" Moka said with worry. She wanted to help Tsukune, but Saizou get in front of her way.
"Hey, why don't you hang with me instead of this nobody?" Saizou said, but all he receives is a glare from Moka.
"No thank-you, I would like to rather hang out with Tsukune." Moka said, before rushing over to Tsukune.
"Are you alright, Tsukune?" Moka asked, Tsukune lifts his head to see Moka right in his vison.
"Don't worry Moka-chan, I'm okay." Tsukune reassured Moka, before getting back off the ground and walk back with Moka back inside the building, with Saizou staring coldly behind their stares.
"Just you wait Tsukune, you are going die and I'm going to get the girl." Saizou said just as coldly as his stare.
(Rooftops)
Tsukune and Moka are standing on one side of the Academy rooftop, Tsukune facing one direction, leaning forward on the railing. Moka is facing the other way; her back is against the railing.
"That was scary… how did you not freak, Tsukune?" Moka asked, showing she is really concern about her friend.
"Well I was always a 'standing out' type of student, so I had to learn to cope with guys like Saizou." Tsukune remarks. "Are all monsters that strong?" Tsukune asked, looking towards Moka. She could not help but smile and flick Tsukune's nose playfully.
"You're a bit weird." She comments. "It's like you have never seen a monster before and this is your first time." Tsukune did not reply to the statement, but Moka seems to remember something else. "That's right Tsukune, what kind of monster are you? Oh yeah, giving out our true nature is against the rules, sorry about that." Moka said. "I take back my question."
"But you already told me that you are a vampire." Tsukune commented.
"I was not aware of the rules back then." Moka replied, her face is flushing with embarrassment from being caught.
"But you sure don't seem to look like a vampire very much… uh no offense." Tsukune said, looking confused, looking at the pictures of vampires they seem to be more… boastful and striking in appearance. But Moka is shy, caring and beautiful, did he miss a book or something.
"Only right now." Moka responded. "But look at this." Pulling her jacket and shirt apart a bit, showing the Rosario, as well a little more of her cleavage. Tsukune grew a bit red in the cheeks.
"Ah! What are you doing, I-I can't look there? Tsukune questioned in a squeaky voice, his face turning a dark shade of red.
"It's alright I'm just showing you the rosary on my chest." Moka answered, getting a heavy sigh of relief from Tsukune. "Once this rosary is taken off, I'll turn into a terrifying, true vampire. The strongest of all monsters." Moka finished.
"Strongest of all…?" Tsukune mused, wondering what she is means by that.
"That is why this acts as a protective seal… I can't even take this off without some serious consequences." Moka commented.
"It's okay." Tsukune said, getting Moka's attention. "Even if you're scary… Moka-chan is still Moka-chan." Tsukune, who has been looking out over the school grounds, turning to Moka, to see the girl suddenly jump on him and hug him fiercely.
"Thank goodness!" Moka said. "You're my very first friend Tsukune! Also, one more thing…" Moka said, while she moves a bit back, her arms still on Tsukune's shoulders. "You are also my first."
"First?" Tsukune asked, genuinely confuse to what she means.
"Until today, I have only imbibed tomato juice and blood transfusion packets… so sucking real blood like yours… your blood is the first that I have ever drank…" Moka said, almost dreamily, while her hands creeps towards Tsukune. "That sweetness, fragrance… that feeling… I can't forget it! And a girl never forgets her first time." She said, placing her head near Tsukune's right cheek.
"Moka-chan… I… um…."Tsukune stumbles, trying to the right words to say. His face blushing up a storm, but in an instance Tsukune found himself slammed right into the wall of the building, the force even leaving cracks on the bricks as his in entire body is now implanted into the wall.
"Stop it, you're embarrassing me." Moka chimed, with her right hand out and her left on her blushing cheek. Moka runs towards the door. "Come on, let us go explore more before our next class." She yells to her friend, who is still in the wall.
"Ah, okay… that hurts." Tsukune whizzed in pain, before pulling himself out of the wall. He pulls himself together, dusting off some brick off him and quickly runs after to catch up to his new friend/crush.
(Next Day, Front Gate)
'Nearing the start of Day two at Yokai Academy, I made an enemy on the first day, so no surprises there. But I did made my first friend is four years.' Tsukune thought to himself on how his life at the new school is already going.
"Tsukune!" Tsukune turns around to see Moka arriving.
"Hello Moka-chan, how are you doing today?" Tsukune asked.
"I am fine today, thanks for asking Tsukune." Moka said, with a smile.
'You know I figure that I have to ask Moka-chan about something.' Tsukune thoughts quickly before asking. "Say Moka-chan, what do you think about humans?"
"I hate humans!" Moka suddenly said.
'Well that was simple.' Tsukune deadpanned.
"I went to a school for humans during junior high. I was lonely because humans do not believe in monsters and that I was different from everyone… It would have been better that I did not exist! I kept on thinking of such thoughts." Moka said, looking at Tsukune.
"But you told me that it is alright even if I were a vampire!" She said, tears leaking down her face. "That is why for the first time, I did not feel alone…"
"And what if you are to meet a human that believes in monsters, Moka-chan?" Tsukune asked Moka, putting some thought into this, believing that it would best to tell his first friend in the monster world that he is a human, not a monster.
"What are you saying Tsukune?" Moka said, getting confused on what Tsukune is thinking.
"I'm a human." Tsukune simply said, 'Now it is for her to choose to either accept me or kill me.' Tsukune thought while looking as Moka's face turns into shock.
"No way…" Moka said. "No, human should not be able to enter this school."
"I guess, that your expression shows me my answer." Tsukune comments, before leaving Moka and entering into the forest to clear his head. Moka stays in her state of shock, seconds later she regains her senses and quickly goes after Tsukune.
After a while of walking, Moka comes into a small clearing, where she sees someone standing in the center. However, it was not Tsukune, like she had hoped, but someone much worse.
"Where are you off to Moka-chan?" It is Saizou. Moka stops moving, quickly coming up with an answer.
"I am very busing right now, so if you will please excuse me." Moka said, hoping that Saizou would back down. However, she is sadly mistaken, as Saizou only laughs at her.
"I can't take it anymore!" Saizou suddenly yells, as his entire body begins to bugle out. The bulging completely shreds apart his shirt, leaving him only with his pants. (THANK-GOODNESS!) Arms now are even more muscular, and legs like logs. His body grows and bulges, showing huge amount of muscle, while having bony pieces along his forearms, knuckles and around his collar bone. His transformation is complete.
"This is my monster form, my true self. I am an Orc!" Saizou growls, his tongue shoots out like a bullet and Moka cries out in horror.
(Cliff-side)
Tsukune stands in front of a cliff-side, staring out at the open sea. Tsukune is thinking hard of what he has done. This is what he wanted, to live alongside with monsters. And yet, he gave a shock by saying 'I'm a human' in front of his first friend in four years, Moka-chan first friend, in maybe forever.
As Tsukune starts to head back to Yokai, in hoping to apologies to Moka and face the consequences; when he hears the screaming of somebody in terror, quickly realizing that it is Moka. Tsukune runs quickly towards the direction he heard the scream coming from.
(Back with Moka)
Moka has her back against a tree. After getting the receiving end of Saizou's tongue lashing, she is now covered in saliva from head to toe. Saizou in front of her, leering down at his supposed prey.
"What's the matter babe? Why will you not transform, Moka-chan?" He asked, speaking in playful tone. "Or are you too frightened?"
"It is against school rules to show your real form!" Moka replied forcefully.
Saizou simply laughs. "We are outside of the school area." He responds. "So that rule means nothing to me!" Suddenly, his tongue flies out again, grabbing hold of Moka's leg, swinging her, intending to smash her into another tree.
"Enough!" A voice shouts out, gaining both the attention of Saizou and Moka turns their heads to see Tsukune, coming into the clearing. "You get the hell away from her!" Tsukune shouts, clearly enrage with Saizou.
"Tsukune…" Moka whispers to herself, shocked to see him here.
Saizou walks up to Tsukune, clearly showing that he is bigger and stronger. "What did you say?" It is also clear that he is single minded.
"I said leave her alone Saizou!" Tsukune shouts at the brute again, showing that he is not in the mood to repeat himself.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Saizou laughs at loud. "You are a fool!" Saizou suddenly smashes the left side of Tsukune's body with a back-hand, sending Tsukune flying down a small hill. "It does not matter what type of monster you are, all I know is that you are pathetic, no matter what!"
"Tsukune!" Moka cries out, dashing pass Saizou and slides down the hill after Tsukune.
"Hey, wait up!" Saizou shouts, outraged that his prey is escaping and quickly follows after them.
(Bottom of the hill)
Tsukune lands on his stomach in pain, his clothes are in shreds from the rocks and bushes of the hill and his skin is not faring any better. He glances upwards and immediately sees the sign, marking the bus stop. The irony of finding the bus stop makes Tsukune chuckles.
"I am not leaving yet." Tsukune said to himself, trying to pick himself up.
"Tsukune!" Tsukune hears Moka calling out to him, making him turn and staining his head to see Moka has arrived down the hill. She immediately got beside him, hugging him to herself, sobbing quietly. "I am sorry… I'm Tsukune. The differences between humans and monsters are just too much." Moka said sadly, tears coming out.
"Moka-chan, do not cry." Tsukune said, hoping to reassure her.
"I am a vampire. Sucking blood and harming humans." She said. "Back in my previous school, what I really wanted to have is a friend… being human or monster it does not matter." She spoke, wiping some tears from her eyes. "But I guess it really is impossible."
"Moka-chan…" Tsukune said, astounded. He did not think that Moka's situation about finding a friend was that serious.
"What the hell are you two doing?" Both hear Saizou has manage to make it down after them.
Moka holds Tsukune closer to her chest silently praying, while Tsukune's eyes starting to weep blood tears down his face. But now the darkness behind these tears is about to be unleashed.
"Aw, what's the matter boy? Did I made you cry?" Saizou said, taunting Tsukune, seeing him and his blood tear weeping out. 'Though, there is no monster in the world that would cry blood.' Saizou thought. But that does not matter. Now, he is going to pound Tsukune and take Moka from himself.
"T-Tsukune… are you alright." Moka asked, worrying about why Tsukune is crying blood.
That is when Tsukune's body starts to transforms into something that not even he knows about.
His entire body is then cover up by some sort of skin texture, that is black as a starless night. Tsukune rises up back on his feet with Moka, still sitting, behind him. Saizou notices that the blood tears are still going down his cheeks and also… moving? The red blood lines travels down his neck, surging around his torso, to his arms and to his legs. Revealing Tsukune with red blood tattoos all around his body, his eyes are now red with no pupil and his mouth has seem to be sealed.
"What the hell? What type of monster are you?" Saizou said, anxious of knowing what has just happen.
"…" Tsukune just stares at Saizou.
"Can't talk? Oh well, at least I will be able to hear your bones break without you screaming!" Saizou shouted, before charging at Tsukune. His right fist coming straight at Tsukune, who is just standing where he transformed… and blocks the attack.
"What the hell? Did you block me?!" Saizou screamed out, seeing he had not even moved Tsukune an inch.
"…" Tsukune did not say anything but narrow his eyes, he grabs Saizou's fist with both of his hands and throws the Orc into the side of the hill. Saizou grunting in pain from the impact.
"Tsukune… w-what are you?" Moka asked, completely terrified to what is happening in front of her.
"…" Silence is Tsukune's answer, but Moka can tell by the look of Tsukune's eyes softening that he is more worried about her protection… it is actual kind of cute of him.
They hear a loud grunt from Saizou's direction to see him lifting up a large boulder over his head. "You little brat, you are getting on my nerves, so you don't you do me a favor and DIE!" Saizou roared before hefting up the boulder and throwing it at them with all his might.
Moka tries to run out of them way, but Tsukune grabs her wrist to stay put. He stares at the incoming projectile before launching his right arm like an elastic without moving the rest of his body. His hand then transforms into a sharp blade and with one slice, cuts the rock into two.
"I don't get it, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU?!" Saizou hysterically screamed, clearly enrage of what is going on.
"…" Tsukune again said nothing, pissing off the already pissed off orc even more.
Tsukune starts walking towards Saizou, with his arm blade pose into attack mode and with a look saying 'you are going to SCREAM pain'. But his non-blade hand gets caught underneath Moka's rosary and with a tug, pulls it off.
"…" Tsukune stares stupidly at the rosary in his hand.
"The rosary, it came off…" Moka said, as the area around them starts to change.
An aura of dark pink energy spreads outwards, turning the water purple and the sky blood red. She seems to age several years, giving her a more defined figure (Tsukune covers his eyes to take his focus off Moka's chest and rear). Her hair has change from its light pink to pure silver and her eyes has change from green to blood red. After her transformation is complete, Saizou is the first to speak.
"What is with her? She is like a total different person!" He commented, Tsukune also notice the change of atmosphere around them. "She is not Moka Akashiya!" Saizou finished speaking.
"…" Tsukune may not be able to speak, but he can remember.
(Flashback)
"Once the rosary gets taken off its chain; I'll transform into a terrifying, true vampire, the strongest of all monsters."
(Flashback ends)
"…" Tsukune is thinking to what Moka was saying back on the rooftop is really true, because it is showing right in front of him.
"It's just like rumors say…" Saizou said. "The terrifying aura surrounding her, silver hair cuts like blades, those red eyes. She is a legendary S-class monster; The Vampire!" He shouted, completely baffled. He was not excepting Moka's monster form to be a vampire.
Moka merely brushes a strain of hair out of her face and then spoke, looking straight at Saizou. "You are the one who woke me from my slumber, huh?" It is more of a statement than a question.
"What is wrong with my body? It can't be... I am trembling just from looking at her!" Saizou commented as Moka stretches her arms behind her back. "No way!" Saizou shouted in denial, Moka jumping about a bit to flex her leg muscles. "Go for it! Who cares, if she is a vampire!" He shouted, in an attempt to strengthen his ego.
Moka merely yawns in boredom, before locking her gaze on Saizou. "Know your place." She merely said.
All Saizou could do is give a confused face, before Moka slams her left leg straight into his face, causing him to fly back and slam hard into the hillside, dirt and dust flying in the air. When the dust settles, Saizou is sitting ungracefully and in pain on the ground, completely out of it.
"O-okay, I-I know my place." Saizou weakly said, before going unconscious.
"…" Tsukune is now thinking of which one is the real Moka, the cute and innocent one or the more fierce and colder. Moka lowers her leg back to the ground and starts walking towards him, fearing that he may have to fight, Tsukune got into a battle stance.
"There is no reason for you to be afraid of me, I would not dare hurt someone with blood as delicious as yours." Moka said. "I owe you a big thank-you for helping earlier." Tsukune relaxes somewhat, until Moka reaches out rubbing her hands along his cheeks, near his eyes of where his power originated.
"What a strange power you have? You have a stronger aura than most monsters have. Just what type of monster? That is the question." She said, wondering what monster is he, even though he said it himself that he is a human.
"…" Before Tsukune could do anything his body starts to change, his black texture skin and tattoos disappear back into his body and shift shape back to his normal self, falling down, feeling groggily.
"M-Moka-chan what just happened?" Tsukune said, feeling like he is going to pass out, unaware that he is speaking to Moka's vampire form.
'It seems that he does not recall of his transformation or even the fight.' Moka thought, understanding a little on what is going on with Tsukune.
"Well, either way you are a very interesting Tsukune Aono. I think I'll keep you around for a while, you just keep babysitting the 'Outer' Moka for me, okay." The 'Inner' Moka said, grabbing the rosary off the ground and snapping it back into place on the chain hanging from her neck. In a shimmer of light, her silver hair turns pink and her blood-red eyes turn back to grassy-green, returning back to her normal appearance.
"Oh, Tsukune, are you alright. Thank goodness." Moka said, in her usual happy self. Tsukune could only nod in reply. "Come on Tsukune let us go back to Yokai." Moka said, giving Tsukune a hand to lift himself off the ground. And the two walk back towards the school.
When the two are near the front gate, Moka asked a question that made Tsukune stop in his tracks.
"Hey Tsukune, since when did you start crying blood? Because I'm pretty sure that humans cry tears, just like monsters." Moka said.
'Dammit, did Moka-chan see me cry my bloody tears.' Tsukune thought bitterly, he did not want her to see that. Sighing, Tsukune turns around to face Moka.
"Well yes, that is true that no human can cry blood. I don't know how it happened or originated, but ever since four years ago my own species, humans, have treated me like an outcast." Tsukune said, explaining to Moka a bit on how the blood tears came to be.
"Wait even the students back in your old school?!" Moka said, shocked that someone as kind as him, was being treated like a freak and all because he cries blood instead tears.
"Especially the students and even teachers at my old school. That is why I developed a love for monsters, because I felt that they would be like me. That I will be accept again, no matter what they truly are." Tsukune said.
"So, we are still friends right?" Moka said, smiling at Tsukune.
"We're still friends." Tsukune said, smiling back at her.
Moka then stops and starts sniffing the air, before staring at Tsukune. Making him feel uncomfortable. "I really can't resist your scent…" Moka commented drunkenly, making Tsukune eyes widen.
"W-wait a minute Moka-chan. What did you just say?" Tsukune asked, backing away slowly.
"Forgive me for this, Tsukune." Moka suddenly said and before Tsukune could ask what she is meaning. Moka lunges forward and bites onto his neck.
"AH! THAT REALLY HURTS MOKA-CHAN!" Tsukune yells in pain, while also thinking to himself. 'Welcome to Yokai Academy, Tsukune Aono.'
