Two of Them?
Music Cue: Orgy For One--Ninja Sex Party
Ben woke up the next day much more livelier than usual...that means two things. In his defense, it wasn't ENTIRELY because of his libido, but rather of a guest that pops into his head from time to time. Dreamqueen, a succubus, the daughter of Nightmare, grew quite fond of Ben after he humiliated her father. With his permission, as he requested, the two have a bit of an agreement, she gives him good dreams in exchange she takes away some vitality. At first it was pretty difficult but after a couple of weeks Ben felt perfectly fine, perhaps he just got used to it, perhaps it was because he got stronger. His dreams are usually standard good dreams, ones that try to detract from his everyday life like going to the beach...or occasionally recieving a massage. But he is a man after all, a man with accelerated aging, that means his hormones hit twice as hard and to deal with it he prefers to just have dreams.
Ben stretched and yawned, rubbing his side in the process. You ask for the strangest things sometimes human. Dreamqueen mentioned with a chuckle. "Are you still here?" Ben asked, "Don't you usually leave?" I was planning on staying back to see if you...relieved yourself or not. "You are weird." I'm a succubus and you AVOID sleeping with me in any form. I'm pent up, I need stimulation, but everytime you ask for something sexual you always request that I'm not there. I have to sit outside a window and-- "Lalalalala! Not listening!" Ben said while plugging his ears, "Why don't you deal with other people? I mean, we are at a school full of teenagers." And be branded a pedophile for the rest of my many years? I don't think so. Ben smelled his costume and cringed at the smell, seems that the aroma from the plant seeped into his suit, "That needs a deep clean." he mentioned as he threw his suit in the washer, "Anyways, I'm 17." No. That's what your license says, but you can't deny truth. You are a clone, and your template would currently be 18. On top of that, you have accelerated aging, your body is roughly about the age of 21. "Does that mean I can drink?" Ben joked. I won't tell if you won't. Dreamqueen chuckled. Ben turned on the hot water for the shower and began removing the rest of his clothes, "Are you gonna go or..?" No, no. It's fine. Nothing I haven't seen. Ben stepped into the shower and began to relax with the rhythmic hum of the water splashing onto his body combined with his heartbeat all the aches and pains he had would drown out and he could let his mind wander. It's that girl. Dreamqueen hummed, Are you happy you let your feelings be known? Are you happy that you have no regrets. "Of course." Ben replied as he spit water from his mouth, "I'm also glad that she may feel the same way...so I'm gonna keep it that way by showing her that I care." How cute. Oh, to be young again. So what's your plan, Fabio? she chuckled. Ben got out of the shower and dried himself off, "Be more aggressive?" Not bad. But I'm assuming you mean you are going to be more forward? "Yes. Be more forward, tell more jokes." Hit on her more! Dreamqueen suggested "Good, now I have a gameplan." Ben put on his button up, he didn't even put an undershirt on underneath, "Okay, you heading out anytime soon or what?" What? You don't want my help wooing her over? "No, I think I'd rather do this on my own. If I have a wingman I'd prefer them not to be my..." he stopped in thought, "Dream Dealer? Is that what I should call you?" Sure. she chuckled.
Ben clapped his hands together, "Okay, let's get up and at 'em!" He walked out his dorm with a smile on his face. He hopped over the railing and fell the two stories to the ground. First full day of class. Hopefully things will be mellow. "Hahahaha! Ahhhh...that is never going to happen." Ben looked up ahead on the path and saw a female figure walking with an off center bun in her hair. Judging by her outfit she was an enforcer, the black dress suit was enough to tell him that, but the clothes were EXTREMELY tight and the skirt was even shorter than a typical student skirt, and that was saying something. Business sexy...Ben thought with a gulp, I...I think I unlocked a new fetish. The woman stopped in the middle of the pathway and Ben was about to walk past her, Okay, who are you? Before Ben could pass the woman she held out her hand in front of his throat.
"Ben...Reilly..." the woman said with venom in her voice. She glanced to her left where Ben was standing and he got a good view of what she looked like. Her complexion was very pale, she had purple eyeliner and smokey eyeshadow as well maroon lipstick.
"Oh my god, Keito." Ben said with slight fear in his voice.
Keito frowned and slowly turned into a smirk before pulling him in for a hug, "Oh my god, how are you? Oh, you got strong." Keito began feeling Ben's arm muscles and followed it towards his chest, "Uh...Really strong..."
"Keito, you're drooling."
"What?!" Keito wiped her mouth and Ben laughed.
"Ha, fooled you. How are you?"
"I'm doing well. I just wanted to say how proud I am of my little kouhai." she smiled while pinching Ben's cheek. I am like six inches taller than you and a solid 80 pounds heavier, but okay. Ben thought. "I heard about what you did, I'll be honest, nothing makes me happier than the fact you kept your promise."
"Did I though?" Ben asked.
"Of course! You confessed your feelings. Even took it a step beyond and kissed the girl, that was what surprised me the most." Keito laughed, "I'm glad your back...your friends were missing you. From what I saw, some missed you more than others." Ben stopped slightly with a smile. Keito smirked back and flicked his forehead, "I never said who...stupid." she teased, "All I know is that they really wanted you to be here on the first day." she winked and began walking towards the Enforcers building.
"Keito!" Ben called out and the Spider Woman turned around, "Nice ass!"
Keito tried to pull her skirt down more, "Pervert!" she yelled but still laughed all the same, "Welcome back to monster high...human."
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
Tsukune was hoping, just once, he could have an ordinary morning at school. But no, he once again was denied a basic request as he was being chased by a wild beast from the forest. "Oh, COME ON!" he shouted as he ran through the front gate with a giant monster boar-like creature following close behind.
"Look, Aono has a porcupine chasing him." a student laughed.
"Poor guy." a girl said with an empathetic expression.
"Porcupine?! This thing is freaking HUGE!!" Try as Tsukune might he wasn't able to out run the monster. The porcupine jumped up and latched it's teeth on Tsukune's head, "Ow, ow, OWWWW!!" he cried out as the weight of the beast dragged him to the ground and his head started to bleed. Tsukune suddenly felt the weight of the beast off his back and he looked up to see Ben punching the porcupine off him. This was followed by a loud 'thunk' kind of sound, like a sound of something hard colliding with someone's head.
"AUGH!" Ben shouted out.
"I'm sorry! That wasn't meant for you. You were just...faster than I anticipated." Tsukune stood up, thanks to Ben giving him a quick lift, and was face to face with a girl he never met before. She was kinda cute looking with her orange hair tied into twin tails by plaid ribbons. She had light skin and green colored eyes. Her clothes were interesting as she wore a maroon sailor suit, a skirt that definitely belonged to the school and thigh high socks. "No offense, but you probably shouldn't have gotten in my way." she commented while looking at Ben who had a little bit of blood dripping down his head.
"Nah, it's all good." he smiled, "Not a lot of people jump into action to save others, so it was a bit of a shock is all."
"Thanks Ben." Tsukune smiled. He about fell backwards when the girl got real close to his face. She had a slight smile and began to sniff him, "Uh...can I help you?"
"Incredible..." she said with a drooling mouth, "your blood smells delicious." she moved her head by his face and licked the blood as it dripped down."
"Wow, another one." Ben said. When he moved closer, the girl about jumped backwards pinching her nose. "It's probably me. I don't smell to good to vampires."
"How could you tell I was a vampire?" the girl asked.
"You have fangs and liked his blood." Ben shrugged, "Really...don't need to be Sherlock Holmes to figure that out." the bell began to ring and the girl gasped in surprise.
"Damn, I'll be late for the ceremony!" the girl dashed off with a bat following close behind her.
"That freshman was...really weird." Tsukune said with a face of disbelief.
"I know." Ben nodded, "Why was she wearing strawberry pattern panties?"
"BEN!"
"What?" Ben shrugged, "That's a legitimate question. It's like if a guy wore heart pattern boxers."
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
Tsukune stayed behind after the opening ceremony to meet up with Moka, apparently she volunteered to help set up so he wanted to make sure he caught her afterwards. He was able to go to a concrete porch on the fourth floor to meet up with her. "Tsukune!" Moka called out in an excited tone. She quickly ran up to him, clasped her hands together and gave a very sweet smile, "Good morning! May I drink your blood?"
"Oh, straight to the point, huh?" Tsukune sighed, "I mean, c'mon! What kind of greeting was that!"
"Sorry." Moka laughed while pacing in place and rubbing her arm, "It's just that I had to help with the ceremony ALLLLL morning and I've been really parched, so..." she clasped her hands together and stuck her tongue out with a smile, "just a sip?"
"I'm not an energy drink!" Tsukune complained.
"But Tsukuneeeeeee." Moka whined. She stopped and began to smell, she got close to Tsukune and bebegan smelling his body. Tsukune flinched a little bit when Moka began to sniff at the nape of his neck, "Have you been cut recently? Because you smell...bloody. Like, a-a-a LOT of blood!" her face began to become flush and she had a goofy smile on her face now, as if she had gotten drunk off the smell of Tsukune's blood, "I can't take it anymore! Just a sip, c'mon!"
"I thought you wanted to know if I was okay, but with the way your acting now I may actually die!" Tsukune said as he tried to keep Moka's reach away from his neck, "Truth is...a freshman told me my blood smelled delicious this morning." Moka's expression became serious as she began to pay attention to what Tsukune was saying, "The girl was really weird and began licking my blood off my face. Do you think that she was...another vampire?"
Ben, who was eaves dropping on the two beneath the concrete porch, chuckled to himself. He was trying to find a place to do his commissions in peace, "Dumbass wasn't paying attention again."
Moka, upon hearing Tsukune's words, recoiled backwards in shock, so much so that she had hit the stone railing behind her. Hey, watch where you're going! "WAGH!"
"Moka!" Tsukune reached out to try and grab Moka, but was surprised she hadn't fallen.
"What would you guys ever do without me?" Ben asked as he used his hand to lift her back onto the porch. He climbed up and squatted on the railing as if it was normal, "I mean, seriously, with everything that has happened in just...a day, I'm surprised you guys didn't die on the first day." he chuckled.
Moka clutched her chest, her heart beating incredibly fast, "Thanks Ben." Yes, thank you from saving us from her incompetence. "Hey!" Moka cleared her throat and continued with what she was going to ask, "Tsukune. This girl, did she have brownish dyed hair?" Tsukune nodded, "Anime styled twin tails like so?" Moka put her hair into twin tails and Ben chuckled, 'Anime styled twin tails'. "And did she have knee high socks as well as a pet bat?!" Moka pulled her socks as high as possible and flapped her hands to immitate a bat.
Tsukune gulped as he stared at Moka who looked like she had an insane expression, "Uh...Yeah?" Tsukune nodded. Moka's expression turned from crazy to serious as she dashed past Tsukune and Ben.
"Wow, she's moving like the T-1000." Ben chuckled, "Oh, uh...that's a-"
"Terminator right?" Tsukune asked, "From Terminator 2?"
Ben stared at Tsukune, he turned his head and bit his finger before wiping away a tear. He then gave Tsukune a teary eyed smile, "I love you." the two tried to stay composed, but both broke into laughter at the same time, "No, but seriously, we should probably chase after her." Tsukune nodded and the two went to catch up to Moka with Ben swinging through the hallways. Once they came close, Ben let Tsukune run while he continued to swing down the hall. "So, what's up with this other vampire?" Ben asked, "She is a vampire right? Not an Onimodoki like Junya and not a dude who was bitten by a genetically engineered vampire bat?"
Moka didn't give a straight answer, she just kept running full sprint towards the classroom, "I need to get my things and clear out for today. Tsukune, be careful of that girl. She's an absolute horror once she fixates on her target...she'll hunt them down to the ends of the earth!"
"Oh, like my brother and Shocker." Ben joked.
"That girl is llike superglue." Moka continued.
"How do you know her?" Tsukune asked, breathing heavily from running.
"I know her because I'M her target!" Moka yelled out, "That girl, is hunting me!" Moka burst through the door to Nekonome's classroom to see Kurumu, Mizore and Yukari, as well as some other female students, crowded around the freshman girl that Tsukune and Ben encountered that morning.
"Oh," Kurumu said as she looked up to see Moka out of breath practically sweating, "Moka you have a guest." she laughed as she pointed to the freshman who sat with her legs crossed in Moka's seat adorning a cheeky smirk.
"Fooooouuuuund you." the girl giggled.
Moka gulped and adjusted the hair in front of her face, "Kokoa." she breathed out.
Tsukune and Ben popped from behind Moka causing Kokoa to jump out of Moka's seat with glee, "It's that guy from this morning!" she pointed, "He just absolutely has the tastiest blood!"
"Hey, it's the girl who hit me over the head with her briefcase...We were just talking about you." Ben smirked, "All good things, don't worry. My favorite quality about you is that apparently you're pretty sticky. Don't worry...so am I." he smiled and pointed to himself.
"Don't care." Kokoa groaned, "Your blood smells gross. But HIM," she pointed to Tsukune again, "to think he'd be here with you, Moka. It must be fate." she smiled and shuffled her feet in place while she silently cheered with joy.
Moka stepped in front of the human and blocked him away from Kokoa, "Leave him alone Kokoa. He's my friend so just...leave him alone."
Kokoa sighed and practically gagged, "Please, don't be such a mother hen." she began to hum as she walked back to Moka's desk and lifted it up by its legs, "Besides...you know why I'm here." she closed her eyes, smiled and tilted her head. Her smile faded and quickly turned into a look of aggression as she swung the desk at Moka and Tsukune, Ben quickly hopped onto the ceiling and used his webs to move Tsukune and Moka away from the sudden attack. That was pretty cheeky of her. Though from what Moka said...it's to be expected. If she is willing to attack anywhere as long as the time seems right. Ben rubbed his chin, It's like Kraven all over again. Kokoa, ignoring the direction that Tsukune went in kept swinging the desk trying to hit Moka, but to no avail. Girl's quicker than I thought. Ben smiled, Guess Moka's been hitting those 'Dodging Lessons' that Piccolo taught Gohan. Ben chuckled. "Die Moka, die!"
"Wait, she wants to fight?" Tsukune asked, "Why?!"
"Why do you think?" Ben asked.
"Because fighting is fun!" Kokoa exclaimed with a large smile on her face. She now had Moka cornered and there was nowhere to escape. Tsukune trying to help Moka stepped in front of Kokoa's attack. He likely would have been hit and probably would have lost conciousness had Ben not webbed the desk from across the room and yanked it from Kokoa's hands before dropping the desk to the ground in it's previously designated spot. He then dropped from the ceiling and landed on top of the desk and stayed crouching as he watched how the situation would play out.
"Hey you bitch!" Kurumu called out as she began walking towards Kokoa, "If you have a problem with Moka you'll have to deal with us. But if you try and hurt Tsukune like that again you'll have to deal with me!" Ben grabbed Kurumu's wrist to get her to stop, "BEN! Let...go!"
"Bad idea...I can sense it. She's pretty strong." Ben said as he analyzed the freshman.
Kokoa looked around and saw Mizore and Yukari stood up and were in a more aggressive stance showing they were ready to fight when needed. "Guys wait!" Moka called out, "Please, don't hurt her beacuse...because she's my sister!"
Kurumu's, Mizore's, Tsukune's, and Yukari's eyes all widened in shock. "Ah, there's the reason." Ben nodded, "That's why they know each other so well. And why they kinda look like each other." Ben chuckled, "Crazy sibling wants to kill you just to prove a point that they're stronger and better than you in every single way. Damn, that hits close to home."
Kokoa looked around the room and scoffed, "Well...there's too many people here right now anyways. Next time, I'll force you to transform and fight me for real." she walked out through the door and looked back as it closed with a smirk, "Laters...big sis." That was the most intimidating 'good bye' I have seen in a long while. Ben thought.
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
Kurumu brought everybody away from the classroom and had the group stand by the stairwell. They all leaned against the railings, except Mizore who was slightly away from the group and leaning against the corner of the wall slowly sliding down to sit, and Ben who just hung upside down by his web. "Alright Moka." Kurumu started as she began rubbing her neck and sighing, "Who the hell is that, what the hell is going on, and why the hell is she trying to kill you! (And almost Tsukune.)" she mumbled the last part.
Moka sighed and rubbed her arm in discomfort, I guess this is a pretty tough subject for her. Ben thought. "Her name is Kokoa Shuzen. She's my half-sister. We are the youngest of four girls. We have different mothers, but when we were little we used to live together. My memories of that time are...a little hazy, but I can still remember some things. For one thing, we fought every day. It was natural to us. This was before my powers were sealed by the rosario so..." she chuckled nervously, "I never lost. Not once." Moka gulped, "But...there came a time when we could no longer keep things the way they were. I was to live with my mother in the human world where I would likely never see Kokoa again as the me that she remembers."
"You're powers were sealed." Ben mentioned and Moka nodded.
"She promised that she would chase me down, that she would finally beat me. No matter what it took or where her exploits took her." Moka continued, "Well, she wasn't lying. Long after I had moved to the human world she would chase me down to try and fight me, but all my powers were sealed away and I didn't know how to fight anymore...so I ran." the group stood in a bit of stunned silence.
"Hold on." Kurumu spoke up, "So you mean to say that the only reason she enrolled to Yokai was over some petty...sibling rivalry?"
"Makes sense, if this place wasn't a school full of monsters I could see Kaine doing the same thing to me...well, before. Now he's all like 'I have a GED go fuck yourself Ben.'" Ben said imitating Kaine's more gravelly voice.
Yukari sighed and rubbed her temples, "That girl's persistence is almost inspiring." Yukari gasped when a thought came to her, "Hold on Moka, haven't you told her that you can't remove the seal on your own?"
"I tried!" Moka gripped her rosary and frowned, "But it's no use. She thinks that if she keeps provoking me I'll eventually transform and fight back."
"That's what Vergil did to Dante in Devil May Cry, so I can see why she would think that." Tsukune, of all people, joked. Ben laughed and gave the human an upside down high five. Tsukune rubbed his chin in thought, "Are you sure beating you is the only thing she's after?" Moka looked at Tsukune and cocked an eyebrow in confusion. Tsukune chuckled and rubbed the back of his neck, "Well...it's just that...this morning she tried to help me, and likely would have saved me if Ben didn't beat her to it. She seemed nice." he smiled, "I just wonder if maybe there is more to her than-" Moka turned around to show she wasn't exactly interested on what Tsukune had thought after one encounter with her sister.
Moka leaned against the railing and used her right foot to scratch the back of her left calf, "Sorry but...this isn't any of your concern. This is between me and Kokoa. And I want to keep it that way. I can handle her on my own."
"Done." Ben said as he clapped his hands together.
"What?!" Tsukune began to protest, but Ben webbed his mouth shut.
"This is your problem to deal with. That's what you said right? Family issues and all that." Ben dropped down and clasped the bottom of the railing before lifting himself up so that he was face to face with Moka, "Just remember that your actions have consequences. Things may not turn out the way you want them to." he looked Moka in the eyes and she didn't seem to change expression and a huge grin spread across his face, "Or perhaps...they'll go exactly the way you expect them to." he let go of the rail with one hand so that he could rotate his body and regrab the railing off to Moka's right (his left) he then lifted his body up so he was sitting on the railing and stretched his arms, "Besides. I understand what you mean. I wouldn't want someone to fuck with Kaine either. So go get 'em tiger. Do your best, I'll be rooting for you." a faint grin was placed on Moka's face as she left to confront Kokoa.
"You're going to crash their fight aren't you?" Kurumu asked while Yukari and Mizore helped get the webbing off Tsukune's face.
"Nah." Ben shrugged, "I'm gonna bring the popcorn and a lawn chair. See where it goes first. I trust you'll be there too?" he looked to Kurumu and the others.
"Of course." Tsukune announced when the webbing was removed from his mouth, "We have to support Moka in any way that we can."
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
Moka moved to an area that wouldn't have a sparce student population and the best choice, in her mind, was a clearing surrounded by gravestones and dead trees. She didn't have to worry about alerting to Kokoa where she would be as she knew Kokoa would find her when she wanted to. Moka gulped as she thought about how the encounter would go, for her there would only be a few end results and they all are essentially the same with Kokoa beating Moka mercilessly hoping she'll transform. Calm down. We don't know for sure that the end result will be as bad as we think. You just need to relax and keep a level head. Her 'Inner' self told her, Remember, Kokoa is primarily a weapons fighter. You don't exactly know how to fight, but of you can get the weapon out of her hands you may stand a chance. The wind blew and laughing was heard, Be ready! She's here. "I knew it! I knew it, I knew it, I knew it!" Kokoa laughed as she approached Moka, "I knew you couldn't keep running away forever. So...are you finally going to fight me?"
Moka gulped and clenched her fists as she thought about earlier in the classroom when Tsukune was almost hurt and her friends were ready to step in over Kokoa's desire to fight her, "I have no choice. If you keep going like this you'll end up getting more people mixed up in our business." Moka swallowed her fears and looked up at Kokoa with a determined look, "So before anything else can go wrong, we're ending this here and now!"
Kokoa practically jumped for joy as an almost sadistic smile creeped along her face, "Yay! I'm so happy!" Kokoa reached her hand out to the bat that followed her around and the chiroptera began to transform until it became a large mace larger than even Kokoa's body, but with vampiric strength the counterbalance works out as to not have the front be to heavy but also not have the whole thing be so light she loses control of her movement. With a mighty battle cry Kokoa swung her mace into the ground to try and smash Moka, the latter dodge rolled out of the way into some headstones scraping her knee in the process. Look, you aren't a fighter so find something to defend yourself. Moka looked around and grabbed a post in the shape of a cross, Not ideal but okay. Kokoa put her hand to her face to try and hide her smug smile, "You honestly think you can beat me with that puny thing?" Kokoa swung again and narrowly missed slamming Moka in the face with her mace. She continually swung the mace at rapid speeds and laughed.
"KOKOA!!" Moka shouted. Kokoa cocked back for one more attack but stopped mere centimeters from Moka's head. "I'm sorry..." Moka apologized, "I tried my hardest, really I did but...you win."
"Why?" Kokoa asked. Moka looked up and Kokoa dropped her mace, tears welling up in her eyes, "Why won't you fight me for real?" she cried while rubbing her eyes. Don't you understand how badly I was looking forward to this fight." she sniffled, "Year after year, in that empty house...nobody to fight with. How do you think that feels?!"
"I get it now!" Kokoa jumped slightly and Moka looked over her shoulder to see Tsukune and her friends, "You're not mad. You're just lonely."
"Guys?" Moka called out in confusion. Kurumu and Yukari sat on headstones, Tsukune waved nervously, Mizore was sitting in an ice throne and Ben was sitting in a lawn chair with popcorn in a bag. Moka cocked an eyebrow at Mizore, "Should I ask...or..?"
"Ben made a compelling argument about not desecrating graves." she replied with a smirk before forming an ice crown and placing it on her head, "Hail to the Queen, baby."
"I taught her that." Ben chimed in.
"Listen." Tsukune continued, "That's the real reason you kept chasing Moka, isn't it Kokoa? Not because you want to defeat her, but because you want her to pay attention to you? You don't have to do that anymore." Tsukune smiled, "You're at the same school now and can see each other all the time."
"Oh, Kokoa." Moka gasped, "I'm sorry I had no idea." Yeah, this is gonna go south reeeeeaaaal fast. "We're still sisters right? Can we...can we still be friends?" Moka asked as she held out her hand.
Kokoa's eyes continued to get more and more watery, "That's not..." she sniffed, "That's not it AT ALL!" she shouted, swinging her mace again.
"W-Wait? That wasn't the problem? But it sounded so insightful!" Tsukune complained. Knew it. Ben thought. He stood up and began to stretch, popping his back in the process.
"Don't give me this 'let's be friends' crap!" Kokoa yelled as she cocked back her mace for a massive smash. Tsukune ran over to Moka and tried to protect her, "I...I HATE YOU!!" Kokoa slammed her mace down and it looked as though she had crushed both Moka and Tsukune.
Tsukune had his hand hovering over Moka's rosary, but he couldn't grab it due to the white substance attached to his hand, "What the?" he looked up to see Ben using his left arm and shoulder hold back the mace and his right arm to keep Tsukune from releasing the 'Inner' Moka. "Ben, what the hell!?"
"Sorry, not sorry, but..." Ben grunted as he lifted the mace up slightly, "no reason to let her out. Besides...she made this personal." Ben shoved Tsukune and Moka away from Kokoa before he slammed the mace into the ground and used his momentum to flip on it with his hand followed by gripping one of the spikes with his other hand, spinning on the weapon and kicking Kokoa in the face. The resulting kick caused the vampiress to let go of her weapon and slide across the dirt.
Moka reached out as if to stop Ben, "Ben no, she's my-"
"Don't care Moka. This is personal to me now." Ben replied while popping his neck, "Sorry Kokoa, but the fact of the matter is that I don't care whose relative you are, I don't take too kindly to those who try to hurt my friends." Ben began to loosen his tie and undid the first two buttons on his shirt.
Kokoa stood up and rubbed her jaw with a frown, "And who the hell do you think you are?"
"Name's Ben Reilly," the American greeted, "But you can call me Spider-Man."
"Well, arachnid, if you are so willing to get in my way to fight my sister," she smirked, "I guess it can't be helped. I'll grant your little death wish." Ben smirked in response.
"This is dumb." Kurumu said in disbelief, "He's so dumb. We have to stop him before he gets himself hurt."
Nononono, STOP! Me, stop them! I want to see this through! "Wait!" Moka called out, stopping Kurumu and Yukari. Moka shuffled in place and rubbed her arm, "My other...she wants to see Ben fight."
"Are you CRAZY! Ben can't fight her she's a vampire and he's a Meta-Human! He doesn't stand a chance!" Kurumu complained as she threw her arms in the air.
"I can hear you!" Ben called out in an annoyed tone, "Okay listen up, I have a few ground rules to go over before we duke it out." Ben mentioned to Kokoa, "Firstly, don't hit me here." he said while pointing at his left side, circling around where his ribs would be, "If you hit me here I'm going to be really. Fucking. Pissed. And," he laughed, "I will punch you really...hard." he smirked. "Finally...do you want your weapon?" he asked.
"Huh?" Kokoa asked, surprised that he would even suggest giving her her weapon back.
"I could like, toss it over if you want." Ben suggested.
"HA!" Kokoa laughed, "How absurd! A meta-human, a lowly species such as yourself could never hope to even lift what is meant for a vam-" Kokoa stopped mid sentence and stared in disbelief as her mace was thrown through the air back at her, "-pire?" she finished before catching her weapon. She looked at Ben who rubbed his left side in pain, "Just a fluke." she said quietly." Kokoa twirled her mace around before getting into a fighting stance, "Fine, if you want to get in my way from fighting my sister, I don't mind breaking you."
Music Cue: Keanu Reeves--Logic
Ben smirked and took a deep breath before getting in his own fighting stance. His stance was something that Moka noticed was different from the year before. Last year he had a boxer's stance, but now his stance resembled that of an experienced martial artist. Kokoa dashed forward with her mace and began to wave and swing all over the place with Ben expertly dodging the attacks by contorting his body and flipping through the air. Kokoa cocked the mace back and was ready to slam the weapon over Ben's head, "Cha Cha real smooth." he laughed as he slid practically right against Kokoa and shoulder rammed her. The vampiress slid backward and grunted in annoyance. "Yeah, don't know if you know this but, a long range weapon like that mace is pretty much useless once I get out of your attack range, be it far away or up close."
Kokoa smirked and gripped her weapon tightly as it transformed into a katana, "You're pretty good...but I've got a bunch of toys that I'm a master with."
"Anyone can be a master with a toy sweetie, it takes a real partner to be a master with their hands." Ben shot back emphasizing his point by crunching his index and middle finger up and down.
"Oh..." Kurumu said with an impressed expression as she thought Ben was saying his hand to hand was so skilled that he can beat any weapon specialist. She then thought about it some more, "OH!" she shouted in realization before laughing, "Oh man, Ben's gotten a little dirty since we last saw him. That was pretty funny."
Oh, Christ...PHRASING! Moka's 'Inner' self called through the rosary.
"It was intentional!" Ben yelled back with a laugh. Okay Ben, the girl is using a katana now. You have more than enough experience against this type of weapon so just-- "WOAH!" Ben barely was able to dodge a slice from Kokoa that would have surely cleaved him in half. He wasn't fast enough though as he felt a sharp pain in his right side, "Ow." he covered his hand on his right side and felt the deep cut and saw the blood on his hand and the fluid spreading along his white shirt. "You bitch...this is a white shirt! Do you know how much lemon and seltzer water I'll have to use to clean this out?" Ben tore of his shirt and traced that cut that was a solid six inches in length on his side. Using his webbing, Ben sprayed a thin layer to patch up his cut and absorb the blood. He looked at his shirt and put his arm through the hole and groaned in annoyance, "See, this is why I wear red. It's so people can't see me bleed and it doesn't show up on my clothes." he grumbled.
Yukari tugged at Kurumu's shirt and pulled the succubus' ear towards her mouth, "Hey, Ben looks way different right?" Yukari whispered.
"Yeah, he got surprisingly built in the six months." Kurumu replied, "I guess he really stuck to that workout regimen."
"I may have missed that time," Kokoa smirked as Ben's blood dripped off the tip of her blade, "But this time I'll be sure to cut you into pieces!" Kokoa slashed forward again and Ben was narrowly able to avoid becoming a spider fillet. However, now Ben had much more mobility thanks to the lack of stiffness from his shirt. She's moving fast, I'm trying to follow it with my eyes. he thought, I'll have to use the 'ol Mysterio-ass-kicking technique. Ben closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "What? Accepted your fate already?" Kokoa laughed, "Guess you realized that you are facing against a superior being you TRASH!" Kokoa swung her blade again, and Ben was able to avoid the slices like he was the opposite end of a magnet and he kept getting pushed away. Kokoa, with a mighty battle cry sliced downwards and was shocked when Ben stopped the blade between both his hands.
Ben opened his eyes and smirked, his arms struggling slightly because Kokoa was a vampire; however, the blade would not leave his grasp due to his adhesive abilities. Ben fought against Kokoa the best he could and was able to lift the sword up as he walked closer to the young vampire. He then kicked her stomach and let go of the sword before he shot two webs behind Kokoa and slid between her legs, just to end up behind her. Kokoa began to turn, but Ben was too quick and was able to twist her arm that the sword was in and slam her locked elbow against his shoulder, the resulting pain made Kokoa drop the sword. Ben then kicked the sword in the air and forced it to stab itself into a tree. He then followed this up by elbowing Kokoa in the face and cobra striking her away from him. "Huh? WHAT?!" Kokoa asked in frustration as she realized this...worthless trash of a species had disarmed her.
"C'mon wimp." Ben taunted as he got ready to fight in hand to hand. Kokoa got into her own fighting stance, but Ben thought something looked off. Wait.. why is she so square? Why is she standing so broad and not at an angle? Her feet are flat on the ground and her fists are practically covering her vision. Ben's eyes widened in realization, "Oh my god, you don't know how to do hand-to-hand combat."
"Shut up!" Kokoa shouted, and embarrassed blush on her face, "With my strength and speed, you'll be done for!" Kokoa ran up and would clumsily throw punches, they were simple hooks, but very sloppy. This is...surreal. Ben thought as he bobbed and weaved through each of her attacks. Unlike Moka, who had grace and elegance in her kick attacks (a refined fighting style according to her), Kokoa's punches were amateurish and very basic. Like a drunken bar fighter or a kid at the playground. Kokoa's hand-to-hand compared to her weapons mastery...it's night and day. This is just sad. Ben blocked on of her hooks and was able to flip his arm around so that he could lock Kokoa's arm between his arm and his body (further helped by his adhesive ability) he punched Kokoa in the gut three times with his free arm before pushing her away, just so he could shoot a Web Line at her chest to pull her back and unleash a headbutt. Ben continued to hit Kokoa with counter attacks or slide behind her just so he could get up and kick her. "This isn't possible..." Kokoa coughed out, "You can't over power a mighty vampire...you are...scum."
"Okay, let's finish this." Ben crouched low and prepared his hands before sending a barrage of pool punches and kicks, "CRAWLER..." he shouted before finishing his barrage with a roundhouse to Kokoa's face that launched her along the ground, "ASSAULT!!" Kokoa slowly began to lift herself off the ground as Ben held his left side feeling a slight pain from his broken ribs. "I didn't overpower you, dumbass." he said as he stood up, "I'm just a more technically skilled combatant. Frankly, you suck, and without your little familiar you wouldn't be able to fight worth jack."
"Shut up..." Kokoa grumbled out, her fists began to clutch the dirt, "SHUT UP!" A powerful aura began to emanate from Kokoa's body, "AGGHHHHHH!!"
"This is like before." Kurumu gulped.
"Yeah...this is like Moka." Mizore added.
"Tsukune, now would be a good time to let my other out." Moka mentioned with a worried expression. Tsukune nodded and removed her rosary without hesitation.
Kokoa kept screaming in anger and her weapon flew back to her, similar to Thor calling upon MJOLNIR. She transformed the weapon back into a mace and dashed forward with a look in her eyes that showed complete intent to kill. "DIE...BASTARD!"
"Not so fast, Kokoa." Moka jumped in front of Ben and in mid attack, Kokoa dropped her mace and tackled Moka for a hug.
"BIG SISTER!!" she cheered, "It's you! It's really you, you're here!"
"What?" Moka smiled sweetly, "Of course I am, I'm always here."
Ben turned his head and hid his smiling face, Dammit! Why did Moka have to smile like that. She looks so adorable! He quickly looked back and turned his head again, That is a smile that I want to replicate. That is a smile I want to protect or PROTECC as the new kids are saying.
Moka stood up with Kokoa and smirked, "Okay...you said you wanted a fight?" Kokoa nodded, "Good." Kokoa got ready and in a mere instant she was kicked across the clearing and into a couple of trees. She gave a thumbs up to show she was okay and just continued to lay there, reveling in the moment. "Ben." Moka called out.
"Holy shit, will she be okay?" Ben asked, "Like...should I call a doctor? A blood donor? Tsukune?"
"She'll be fine." Moka waved it off as if it was normal, This ain't normal woman! "I must say I am...Impressed. I didn't think you could hold your own against a vampire like that." Ben snorted, "What?"
"Oh pah-lease! I kicked your ass!" he taunted.
Moka cocked an eyebrow in confusion, "Wait...are you counting THAT? From last year?" she scoffed, "That doesn't count."
"Mmhm, sounds like something a sore loser would say. Which, if I recall, you complained the next day about being sore...Uhh...wait..." Ben chuckled, "Sorry, phrasing."
"No, I was in a weakened state, that shouldn't count. You don't get a handicap."
"Handicap?!" Ben asked with a laugh, "What are you taaaalking about?! My head was split open, and I had just come from the hospital, AND I fought both you and Tsukune. YOU had the handicap!"
"Vampires don't need handicaps. We are completely fine fighting off whomever."
"BULLSHIT!" Ben chuckled, "Historical documents show that humans kicked Dracula's ass time and time again!"
Moka groaned and rubbed her temples with her hands, "Ugh, for the last time. Ben, Castlevania is NOT a historical document of the life of Dracula, if anything it's a parody like...like..." Moka struggled to come up with something and Ben just laughed at her, "What?"
"Nothing." Ben trying to contain his smile, "You trying to come up with a shitty joke...it's kinda cute. You're like awkward and bad at it."
"Oh, so I have just as much skill as you? Good, it seems I've improved." Moka retorted causing Ben to clap his hands and laugh.
"Okay...that was pretty good."
Moka may not have laughed, bit she did give a slight smirk, "You're ridiculous. Fighting my sister head on."
"Hey, I've gotten strong!" Ben flexed and immediately began holding his side in pain, "Ohhh, broken ribs." he groaned.
"You're body looks like shit, what did you do in the last six months?" Moka asked.
"Oh, man...those are some stories I'll have to tell all you guys. Times were pretty wacky."
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
The students began to walk back to their dorms when a though popped in Kurumu's head, "Hey...You think that now Kokoa knows we can release the other Moka, you think she'll leave Moka alone? Or will she keep attacking her every day?"
"Fuck it." Ben replied.
"Really? That's the answer?" Tsukune asked, "Not some, philosophical answer that only you could come up with? Not-Not-Not some...some stupid joke just...'fuck it'?"
"Eh, fuck it." Ben replied as he continued walking to the dorms whistling 'Old Town Roads'.
Tsukune chuckled, "Yeah...guess we'll cross that bridge when we get to it."
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
The Next Day...
"We crossed it." Tsukune groaned as even before classes started, Kokoa was chasing around Moka trying to get her to transform again.
"C'mon, change!" she shouted as she swung her mace happily through the air. Kokoa stopped when she saw Ben drop from above her, using a Web Line to slow his descent before hitting the ground. "HEY!" Kokoa called oout to Ben. The American turned with a piece of toast hanging in his mouth.
"Cam lou make thith quick? I'm late." Ben complained with food in his mouth.
"What you did yesterday...was a fluke! A fluke, you hear me!" Kokoa yelled out, "Clearly a lowly being like you can't beat a vampire truly. Haha! Yes, you were lucky that my sister stepped in, otherwise I would have destroyed you!" Kinda cocky, but okay.
Ben swallowed his food and checked his watch, "Well...I'm late. Thanks Coco." he gave a thumbs up, "If you ever want a rematch, just let me know...unless you're gonna be a sore loser." he smirked.
"I'll fight you any day, anywhere!" Kokoa replied as she began to lift up her mace.
"Woah, woah!" Ben stopped, "I have some stipulations. Firstly, to make this a fair fight you can't use your weapons." Kokoa cocked an eyebrow, "Oh, but don't worry, you can use your monstrous strength. And you can't just attack me in class, we have to at least be in the halls or something. OH! And it is considered a loss once you are: immobilized, dead, pinned, or you tap out. Sound good?"
Kokoa thought about it for a quick second before letting her weapon turn back into her bat, "Okay. Let's do this...arachnid."
"Okay. Go!" Ben jumped over Kokoa onto the wall and webbed her towards him. He then ensnared her in a full cartridge of webbing before hanging her upside down from a tree.
"Hey! Let me down!" she complained.
"Oh, you're immobilized. Seems like I won." Ben shrugged, "Nice try vampire. Better luck next time."
Ben left and Kokoa continued to hang from the tree thrashing about to try and break free, to no avail. "GOD DAMMIT!" It seems she found a new opponent to fight when her sister was unavailable.
