Takes place shortly after Tsukune and Moka's Graduation from Yokai Academy.

Friday, April 27th. Human world, Kanazawa, Japan.

…..

After leaving the yokai realm and saying goodbye to their classmates, the long black limo arrived roughly thirty minutes later in the human world; specifically Tsukune's hometown of Kanazawa, which is the the capital of Ishikawa prefecture, on the main Island of Honshu, Japan. It's located facing the Sea of Japan.

By train it's about 2 to 3 hours west of the Tokyo metropolitan area.

Moka opened the moon-roof, stuck her head out and admired the beautiful, late Springtime weather. Dozens of Sakura trees were still in bloom, painting the background scenery in their soft, pink petals.

Tsukune gave the driver directions to his house, which was only a short drive away.
He then retrieved his cellphone from his jacket pocket and called his folks to expect their imminent arrival.

Kasumi and Koji waited outside their home for their son's return once they finished their brief call.

Approximately ten minutes later, they spotted a twenty-foot long black limousine pull up in front of the two story, pastel blue house. The driver stopped the car, placed it in park, and turned of the engine.

Tsukune opened the passenger-side door, walked up to his parents who were waving rather enthusiastically and smiling the entire time. They both had immediately noticed that their only son had grown up so much over the last two years. He was much taller and not as frail looking as he was during his freshman year.

"Welcome, home sweetie. We missed you so much" his mom said as she shed a few tears of joy. She was happy to be a whole family, once again. His dad Koji was glad to have his boy home, plus he could tease him now that he finally has a girlfriend after all these years!

Moka was emotionally moved, seeing just how much his parents missed her boyfriend / secret fiance'.

…..

After his parents released him from their embrace, he ran back to the limo as Moka was still sitting inside. He opened the door for her so she, as the real Moka could meet his parents. She had met the both of them previously through her 'other self' during summer break of their first year.

Moka exited the limo with great trepidation. She stood behind her mate and did her best to hide the fear of being outright rejected. The silver-haired maiden honestly wished her pink-haired self was still around; she was so much better in these types of situations and wasn't as frightful looking as she was now in her true, unsealed form.

No more Rosary to hide behind.

Koji and Kasumi approached the beautiful, but strange-looking girl with long hair that went down past her knees, the color of the moon; who their son had talked about whenever he would call and had asked for permission to bring her home, since they were now dating. This was Moka? Why did she look so different from what they remembered?

"Um, Mom, dad. You remember Moka Akashiya...she's my girlfriend now. I told you that we were now dating on the phone this morning" Tsukune said as he held her hand firmly. He knew she was feeling quite uneasy through their bond and would do whatever it would take to make sure she felt welcome in his home.

It was something they both knew and today all the secrets would be revealed. Moka forced a weak smile to her lips and did her best to remain calm and composed. But Tsukune assured her earlier that everything would work out for the best. They were more than just mates, but the very best of friends as well and Moka had complete faith in him. After everything they've endured, they both honestly deserved to be happy and live a stress-free life.

…..

Koji examined the young woman in question who seemed to be somewhat on the quiet, shy side. Didn't she have bubble-gum pink hair and eyes the color of emeralds before? Kasumi was stumped as well. This exceptionally attractive, young woman was most definitely Moka, but she looked completely different from when they first met and had gotten to know each other better.

'Maybe she likes to cosplay?' his parents both silently wondered.

"Good afternoon, Mister and Misses Aono" Moka said with a polite bow, her hands folded in front of her.

"Good afternoon, Miss Akashiya. It's good to – see you again" Kasumi replied in a likewise fashion.

"Good afternoon, Miss Akashiya. Welcome to our home" Koji offered with a bow of his own.

"Thank you very much" Moka replied as she stood up.

Once the pleasantries were out of the way, Koji and Tsukune offered to help the chauffeur carry Moka's three, huge trunks into the house.

When they were finished, the driver returned to the limousine, turned the engine back on, placed the gears in drive and headed off to return to Shuzen Castle in the yokai realm.

Moka waited by the front door, mentally cursing at herself thinking this was all a huge mistake. How would her mate's parents react to the truth; knowing that she's a real, live vampire; they had accidentally enrolled their son into a high school for monsters, and was now a vampire himself just because he wanted to stay by her side and be her friend?

"Moka dear, there's no need to be shy. Please, come in. Our home is your home" Kasumi happily offered the vampiress who was still standing outside on the steps, with a warm, welcoming smile.

"Thank you Misses Aono" Moka said as she walked through the threshold and removed her shoes, per the Japanese custom when entering someone's house. Tsukune walked back downstairs once Moka's belongings were brought to the guestroom, which would now be her own bedroom and was next door to Tsukune's room.

"Um, Mom, dad. We would like to have a long talk before anything else" Tsukune said in a calm voice. He held Moka's hand lovingly, quietly telling her everything would somehow work out for the best. That's what he was planning anyway and hoped they wouldn't over-react like they normally do, especially his mom who had a bad habit of fainting!

"Sure thing, sweetie," his mom replied as she and Koji lead the way into the living-room.

….

Tsukune and Moka sat on the beige, microfiber love seat next to the matching couch his parents sat upon with a questioning look across their brows. They both wondered what was going on and why their son was being on the serious side. Maybe it had to do with Moka's 'new look' they secretly speculated between themselves.

"Go ahead, son. We're listening" Koji said, trying to 'get the ball rolling' if it were.

Moka decided to remain silent for the time being and to only speak up when she felt the opportunity would be relevant for her do so. This was not going to be easy, but she and Tsukune came to a mutual agreement; if they were going to spend the rest of their lives together, then the truth had to be told. Every detail revealed regarding the time they first met during their freshman year of high school and the fact that Moka is a vampire plus how Tsukune had become one as well.

No more secrets.

"Well, mom dad...there's something we need to tell you...but you have to promise to relax and have an open mind. What I'm about to tell you is the truth...about Yokai Academy, about Moka, and...myself."

They both looked at each other with an inquisitive look, curious about what was going on and why their son was speaking the way he was. He had undoubtedly matured a lot. They then nodded in agreement for him to go on and say what was on his mind.

"Oh boy...well...Yokai Academy isn't what you thought it was...it's a school for ayashi...like vampires...like Moka. You should've guessed by the name alone. Yokai is another word for 'monster'" he said as looked to his right and gave Moka a knowing nod.

"What are you talking about sweetie? I don't quite understand" Kasumi said with a hint of doubt followed with uncertainty. Koji was just as clueless.

Ayashi?

Yokai?

Monsters?

Moka is a Vampire? That drinks blood?

Monsters only exist in movies, books and ancient myths, right?

"Mister and Misses Aono. What Tsukune said is the truth. When you first met me two years ago, I had pink hair and green eyes. That was only a 'disguise' if it were. A pseudo-personality. I also wore a large, Silver Rosary 'cross' around my neck? Remember, Misses Aono? That Rosary was a magically-enchanted item that was used to 'seal' up my power. That Rosary was created by my mother when I was only a child. The side effect was my other half – my other personality. The Rosary held back the true me you see sitting here right now in front of you. I know it sounds impossible, but it's an absolute fact."

Koji and Kasumi digested what this young woman had just told them a moment ago. It couldn't be true, could it? Vampires actually exist? The scary monsters that would come into someone's room in the middle of the night and drink their blood and turn them into one of them? If it were true, what other monsters were out there that lurked in the darkness, awaiting their next midnight snack?

"Tsukune? This is a joke, right? Monsters really don't exist" his father said, knowing very well that his wife was either about to freak out or faint. He was doing his best best to stay level-headed for both their sakes.

…..

"It's the truth, dad. I had met the 'other' Moka on the first day of school when she ran into me with her bicycle..." Tsukune said as he began to tell the long, story of how he first met Moka. Actually both Mokas. How he had come to her rescue, after he was ready to leave the Academy, once he found out its true, terrifying nature and knew he would never fit in.

He went on to tell them that he nearly died at the hands of the 'Student Police' and that Moka had saved his life with her own blood. How he had eventually turned into a Ghoul, due to receiving more blood from Moka on three other, separate occasions. Moka told his folks that she tried to push him away before all that happened, but being the idiot he was, had stayed at Yokai Academy for her sake since she needed a friend.

Tsukune went on with telling them how 'Outer' Moka had 'died' last year when Alucard attacked and how he had saved her life with his blood once he tore off the Holy Lock which lead to his complete transformation into a vampire. That then lead to the demon's demise when they had both stopped his rampage.

His parents listened intently to the every detail – the looks on their faces changed from mild fascination, to sadness and then to that of absolute horror. And they could see Moka's face as she relived every happy, sad, or painful memory as it played out in her mind, once again.

Moka stayed silent and vigilant for the most part, making sure he didn't leave out any important information or details.

"So...sweetie...you're a...vampire now?" Kasumi said with uncertainty, once she and Koji digested the tale their son told them, which took a few hours and it was already evening once he eventually finished with his story.

"I'm sorry mom, but yes, I'm a vampire now. If it weren't for Moka, I wouldn't be here today and never would have survived my high school years" he said with a regretful tear.

"Misses Aono. You must please understand. I had no other choice than to do what I had to do in order to save his life, even though I knew the consequences of what would have happened to him. He was my very first friend...my best friend! And I couldn't – I couldn't let him die...If there were any other way...I – I... " Moka said as she broke down in tears and sobbed heavily. She did her very best to remain calm, but had failed miserably.

"You did what you had to do. And we thank you, Moka dear. Thank you for saving Tsukune's life. I know if there were another way, you would have...but from what I understand, he was dying...because he had protected you...when you weren't able to...so thank you, Moka..." Kasumi said as she shed some tears as well. Her heart reached out to this beautiful young woman, who had brought her son back from death's door on several occasions over the past few years.

She stood up, walked over to Moka, leaned down to her level, and gave her a heartfelt hug.

"Thank you Moka...and...welcome home" Kasumi told her.

Moka cried even more-so as her soon-to-be mother-in-law embraced her. Moka's shoulders shook heavily, feeling relieved as her mate's parents warmly welcomed her for who she is. Kasumi had not only opened up her heart, but her home to the vampire princess as well. Even though she is the real Moka, Kasumi could see in her red, tear-stained eyes the love she held for her one-and-only son. They had both saved each others lives and Tsukune's parents were very grateful for that.

Koji glanced over to the two women in front of him and actually believed the rather long-winded story and had learned to accept it. Tsukune on the other hand was feeling as if a heavy weight had been lifted from his shoulders. Hopefully his parents would also accept the fact that he and Moka were mates and were pretty much already engaged, but that could wait for another time, he silently told himself. It was a lot of information to digest, after all.

Several awkward minutes later, Kasumi released Moka from their long hug and stood up, motioning for her husband to follow her into the kitchen so dinner could be get started. Besides, a mother knows best when her son needs some time alone with his girlfriend.

…..

"Moka? Are you...feeling better now?" he asked as she reached to his mate and held her hands in her own.

"Yes Tsukune. Thank you...for everything. I'm glad that your parents believed our story and have considered the fact that we're both vampires...I was quite worried earlier, but right now...I'm just really happy...and well, I was wondering if you'd like to...maybe – if it's – not too much to ask" Moka said as she leaned against him and embraced him lovingly. She rubbed her large, firm bosom against his chest as she was feeling quite frisky now, all of a sudden wanting to be much closer to him on an intimate level.

Taking the not-so-subtle hint, he slightly opened his mouth and brushed his wet tongue against her warm flesh which caused her to moan with wanton desire. He then pierced her dainty neck with his fangs and began drinking her sweet, precious blood in small, satisfying slurps.

"Ahhh...Tsukune...oh Kami...hah-hhngh...Mm-mmm...ahhhhnn..." Moka groaned with arousal as she was becoming considerably stimulated and was feeling a hundred times more love towards her blood-mate. She held him even firmer as she gently pushed him off the beige couch and onto the carpeted floor below.

Tsukune was getting rather turned on himself, truth be told, even though they were still in the living-room. He was thankful to his folks for giving them some well-deserved privacy, at least until dinner was ready. He turned her around as he took the dominant position on top of her. She grinned brightly as she basked in her release rather vocally. Tsukune quickly retracted his fangs and kissed her feverishly; preventing her from any further exclamations of ecstasy.

Once the pair had calmed down, Tsukune got off the carpeted floor and offered Moka a hand up, so they could return to the soft love seat and await the time until dinner was ready, which would be anytime soon. The wonderful scent permeated the entire house and had caused their stomachs to rumble with approval.

Kasumi walked back into the living-room and thought she heard something, but wasn't quite sure what it was.

"Tsukune...Moka...why don't you two go upstairs and change out of your school uniforms? Dinner will be ready soon" Kasumi suggested to the pair whose faces were quite red for some odd reason.

"Oh, sure mom. We'll be down shortly" her son replied as the pair stood up from the couch and made their way towards the stairs.

"Not a problem sweetie" his mother replied with a smile. She was quite happy and content knowing that her one and only offspring found such a wonderful young woman like Moka and was quite thankful for everything she had done for him since they had inadvertently sent him off to a high school for monsters of all places. They had no clue at the time and were just relieved to send him to a school that was rather lenient when it came to admitting new students, since Tsukune had failed his high school entrance exam in the first place.

'Well, maybe it was fate that lead him to Yokai Academy after all, even if it was a dangerous place. He may be a vampire as is Moka but he seems to be quite happy I suppose. And Moka does care deeply for him' Kasumi mused as she returned to the kitchen to finish cooking dinner for the family with Koji's assistance.

...

"Moka, I'll see you in a few minutes, okay?" Tsukune told his wonderful girlfriend as they went to their individual rooms to change into something more comfortable.

"Okay love. I'll see you shortly" she replied with an adorable wink that caused him blush furiously.

"Oh yeah, of course" he muttered before closing his door behind himself. Honestly, Moka was to damn cute for her own good and was beginning to act more like her 'Outer' self since they had become blood-mates just two days ago. This was a new side to the real Moka and it would take some time to get used to.

Once he had calmed himself down he made his way over to his closet and rummaged through it to find something decent to wear. After debating for several minutes, he eventually decided on a short-sleeved, cotton dress shirt, aqua in color, along with a pair of tan cargo pants. He then opened his bedroom door and made his way to the restroom to brush out his always-disheveled hair that he let grow out for the past several months and attempted to not look like he had just woken up with a bad case of 'bed head'.

When he was finally satisfied with his hair looking normal for once, he walked down the long hallway to Moka's new bedroom. Then it hit him: he and Moka would be living together in the same house, even though he had already asked his folks permission to do so.

*knock * knock * knock * he tapped on the old, wooden door. As Moka opened the door, Tsukune nearly passed out from a massive nosebleed when she had answered, looking radiant as always.

"Uh, hi Moka. Um...you look - beautiful" he sputtered out. She was wearing a simple, burgundy blouse that fit her in all the proper places and a black skirt that came down to just above her knees. No doubt about it, Moka had an absolutely flawless body that could give the world's top 'super models' a run for their money. She was also wearing a little blush on her cheeks and light, red lip-gloss that made her lips appear even more plump than they actually were.

"Thank you Tsukune. You look very nice yourself" she replied as she gave him a bashful smile.

'Oh Kami...beautiful doesn't even cut it...she looks absolutely gorgeous' the raven-hair teen thought quietly.

"Um...thanks Moka. Um, let's head downstairs before I pass out" he said as she grabbed his hand and made their way downstairs to have their first dinner together with his parents. She snickered at his comment that caused her heart to hammer heavily in her ample chest.

...

As the duo walked down the stairs and into the dining room, Kasumi asked Moka to meet her in the kitchen for a moment as she had something she wanted to ask her, woman to woman. Tsukune took his seat at the long, wooden table and waited for her to return when she was finished speaking with his mother, which worried him to some extent, but had faith in Moka.

"Yes, Misses Aono? You wanted to speak with me?" Moka asked as Kasumi motioned for her to have a seat at the round, high-top table in the far corner of the kitchen. The vampiress noticed that dinner was about finished cooking and the scent was wonderful.

"Moka dear. How do you feel about my son? About Tsukune? Honestly now" Kasumi inquired as she folded her hands together and rested them on the tabletop.

"I love your son Tsukune with all my heart, Misses Aono. He's my everything" Moka replied as she remained unphased by the sudden questioning with complete honesty.

"I can tell Moka. I can see it in your eyes whenever he looks at you, or you at him. I apologize for sounding so serious, but - Tsukune never had a girlfriend all throughout junior high like most boys at that age. He was always alone. Never had any friends. Well, real friends. Even in elementary school. He's an only child as you know. The only other girl his age was my husband's brother's daughter, Kyoko. You met her when you visited here the first time we met. She was always very protective of him while they were growing up, even though she's only two years older than him. So I ask you as a woman, please take care of my boy. I knew the minute he had called this morning asking us to let him bring you home...that you were the one who had won his heart. And thank you again Moka for watching out for him and saving his life. I wasn't too keen on knowing he's...no longer human anymore...but he's still Tsukune. Just knowing that he has you in his life now, means a lot. And I can see that you're still the same sweet, kind and wonderful girl he'd talk about whenever he'd call home and tell us how he was doing in school" Kasumi said to Moka as she shed a few tears of joy.

Moka stood up from her chair and gave her mate's mother a warm embrace, as she was on the verge of tears herself.

"Thank you Misses Aono for accepting me into your home. You have my word, I will take very good care of Tsukune because he means the world to me. And thank you for giving us a chance" Moka said as she released Kasumi a moment later.

"You're welcome, Moka dear. Would you mind giving me a hand and bring the food out to the table?"

"Oh yes. Of course. I'd love to help out, Misses Aono" Moka replied with a warm smile. The vampire princess was actually quite relieved to some extent. Things were definitely improving in her life. She wanted to do her best to blend in and be part of a real, loving family.

As the two women entered the dining room, Koji assisted Kasumi in setting the table while Tsukune helped Moka with the piping hot dinner that was in a casserole type dish. it was a Italian lasagna, made from scratch.

Moka blushed hard when their fingers brushed against each others. Kasumi noticed that immediately and snickered at their adorable antics. The Aono household matriarch knew without a shadow of a doubt that her son had finally found his one, true love.

Hopefully they would do the right thing and get married someday, since they were living in the same house, and all. But she knew that they were just starting out as a young couple in love and were taking their time to really get to know each other. If she had a clue to the true nature of their 'relationship' she'd most likely pass out from shock, due to information overload! Besides, her son is so shy when it comes to the fairer sex? Right?

Yeah, riiiiiiiiight.

...

Dinner was amazing and went on without a hitch. Moka politely asked Kasumi to give her some pointers as she wanted to try out some dishes and desired to share in the household chores, especially when it came to learning new recipes. Tsukune told his mom about the first dinner she had made him just after they became an official couple. His mom was quite impressed to say the least.

Conversation was light and amusing as Moka and Tsukune entertained his folks with wild tales that sounded far-fetched and could be considered fantasy or sci-fi in nature, but the vampire couple assured them that they were indeed the absolute truth. There's no way the stories could be false as neither one of them had that such a wild imagination to make them up on the spot!

Moka insisted on helping Kasumi clean up, but she had shooed the vampiress out of the kitchen and told her she could help out make breakfast tomorrow morning if she took it easy for the remainder of the night and try to relax. Moka then walked into the living-room to see what her mate was up to. Koji had to make a phone-call since him and the misses would be heading out of town tomorrow since it was 'Golden Week' and his office was closed for the official, week-long holiday.

Tsukune was resting on the long, beige couch in the living-room with a remote control clutched in his hand and was trying to find something to watch on the 45 inch plasma TV that hung on the wall on the opposite side of the room.

"Hey Moka"

"Hello Tsukune"

"So, um...you told my mom about wanting to learn some new recipes, huh?"

"Well yes. Since I'm living here now, I thought it would be - fun to learn some new dishes to cook."

"I see. Well, whatever you make will be awesome, no doubt about it."

"Flattery will get you everywhere" she said with a smirk.

"Oh I wasn't trying to - oh. I get it. That's pretty funny."

"Well, I am trying Tsukune. And living here with you will be a learning experience. At least I have you in my life now and I won't be so - alone...anymore" she said with a hint of depression in her voice.

Tsukune picked up on her mood that was quickly deteriorating.

He knew what she went through when she was younger and had attended school in the human world. She was constantly being ridiculed and ostracized for her bizarre appearance and for saying that yokai were indeed very real.

She was called 'freak' and 'idiot' for just being herself and it honestly hurt his heart knowing he couldn't do a damn thing about it.

If only he had met her back then maybe things wouldn't have been as bad as they were for her and she wouldn't have had such a strong hatred against humans, which dissolved the moment she literally came crashing into Tsukune's life. That was no mere coincidental accident. It was meant to happen. And they were both better off for it, in more ways than one.

He then wrapped his strong arms around her waist and embraced her firmly, yet lovingly. He knew all of this when they first performed the blood-bonding of mate-ship just a short, two days ago.

"It's okay Moka. You don't have to be alone anymore" he said with absolute sincerity and kissed her dainty neck.

"Ah...Tsukune...thank you love. It's true. I really don't want to be alone. It's no fun" she said with a slight pout.

"It's not a problem Moka. I know what you mean. I love you and I'll do my best to help you fit in since we're now living together."

"Oh yes, that would be nice, Tsukune. Would it be - okay if - we...slept together tonight?" Moka beseeched with a cuter-than-average blush once they ended their hug while still sitting on the couch.

"Ah...well...um...we'd have to be...quite though" he said with an even harder blush, as he picked up on her equivocal request.

"I understand Tsukune. I just want...to be near you tonight. It is my first time sleeping in your house -"

"Our house Moka. This is your home too, don't ever forget that, okay? Your bedroom is right next to mine, so I'm not that far away" he told her with a warm smile that caused her heart to beat faster than she could recall in recent time. He was genuinely concerned about her overall happiness and well-being.

"Thank you Tsukune, that really means a lot to me. I do love you so very much."

"There's no need Moka. It's really not a big deal. We could go upstairs now if you'd like. I'll tell my folks we're gonna 'unpack'" he said with an all knowing wink.

...

"Oh yes, that's an excellent idea" Moka said with a wink of her own.

"What's an excellent idea?" Kasumi said as she walked into the the living-room and saw that her son and his girlfriend were sitting rather close to each other on the sofa and had that look in their eyes, but let it quickly pass as teenage hormones.

You know what look. *wink wink - nudge nudge *

The "I want to jump your bones" look.

"Oh mom, if it's alright, we're gonna go upstairs and unpack. We had a pretty hectic day and we also might turn in early" Tsukune told his mom as he and Moka stood up from the couch, walked over to her and then gave her a group hug.

"Oh my...that's fine. I understand. You two deserve a break after-all" Kasumi told the pair as she returned the surprise embrace which only lasted a few moments.

"Thanks and goodnight, mom" Tsukune said as she grabbed Moka's right hand and made a swift beeline for the stairs.

"Goodnight, Misses Aono!" Moka said as she was lead up the stairwell and out of sight. Kasumi followed the pair towards the stairs and had one more thing to add.

"Sweetie! I almost forgot...your father and I are going on vacation starting tomorrow! It's Golden Week!" she shouted up the narrow stairway. Tsukune walked halfway down and looked at her with an inquisitive look.

"Golden Week?" he repeated.

"Yes sweetie. I guess you forgot. Your father's office is closed until next week. We're going to visit your grandma in Osaka and we won't be home until next Friday. Will you and Moka be okay?" she asked with a motherly, worried look across her brow. After such an interesting day, it had completely slipped her mind to inform him of their excursion when he came home. Moka heard the entire conversation with her extra-sensitive ears and was by Tsukune's side a few seconds later.

"We'll be fine Misses Aono. As a matter of fact, just gave me a fantastic idea" Moka added once she and her mate walked all the way downstairs once again.

"What kind of idea Moka?" Tsukune wondered. His mother was quite curious as well, truth be told.

"Well, I was thinking, Tsukune. Maybe we could take a little vacation of our own as well, if your parents don't object, that is" Moka answered with a small smile.

"Vacation? Where to?" Tsukune wondered aloud.

"Well, I just so happen to have access to my step-mother's condominium in Roppongi. Mid-Town Tower in Roppongi Hills, actually. It's all paid for and I lived there while I attended school in Tokyo until I was old enough to attend Yokai" Moka explained.

"I see. Well, I don't have any objections and I do trust you two, just be safe - wait. Why am I telling you two to be safe for? I'm pretty sure that you can take care of yourselves after hearing your wild story of punching a hole through a kaiju sized monster that was the oldest vampire. I still can't get over hearing - all that. Anyway, I'll let your father know about your sudden vacation plans. We can drive you two to the train station in the morning, so get plenty of rest. We're heading out at nine AM. Alright now, shoo. Off you go. Pack what you need and we'll see you two in the morning. And no fooling around. Goodnight now" Kasumi said as she turned the pair around and patted their butts in a motherly, teasing manner.

"Goodnight mom" the couple said in unison as they raced up the stairs and into their individual rooms to pack their bags for their unanticipated trip to Tokyo in the morning. Kasumi blushed hearing Moka call her 'mom' even if the silver-trussed vampires was playing along in a teasing manner. Now that it sunk in, she was now thinking how nice it would be for Moka to call her that on a regular basis. Frankly she always wanted to have a daughter, but a daughter-in-law would be just as nice or even better, she now thought.

...

Once the duo reached his room, Tsukune had something he needed to ask of his wonderful girlfriend and her so-called vacation plans.

"Hey Moka? Why did you tell my mom that we're going to Tokyo? I don't have that kind of money even though I saved up of most of what they would send for my monthly allowance while I went to Yokai. I mean I do have quite a lot saved up, but it wouldn't be enough to support us if we go to Roppongi or even anywhere in Tokyo for a week" he said with an exasperated look.

"Well, because it's true Tsukune. You know that I attended school here in the human world after I received my Rosary from my real mother. I was only 10 years old at the time and was sent to live with Gyokuro Shuzen, my sister Kokoa's mother, since my mother was - well you know. And you don't have to worry about any expenses. I receive a monthly allowance as well and I just want to spend more time with you. I know how much being financially stable means to you, but it's not an issue, love. As you are my mate, it's my responsibility to take care of you financially. So you really don't have to work so hard. Besides when I turn 19 next month, I'll inherit my mother's entire fortune that took her well over 200 years to accumulate. You'll never have to worry about anything since you're my mate. I want to do this Tsukune. You've already proven your place by my side. Words are inadequate for how much I love you. So please, let me do this Tsukune. Please my love. I need to be closer to you" Moka said as she quickly glomped him and pushed him onto his bed; overwhelmed with love, adoration and affection towards him.

Tsukune knew Moka's family was wealthy, but had no clue just how well off she actually was. It was something she never really talked about since it was rather embarrassing to to some extent.

"Moka...I - really - don't know what to say...thank you Moka. Let's start our vacation - tomorrow then" he said as he picked up on her honest feelings through her words and their blood-bond. He returned her hug as she gently sobbed into his chest.

Once the waterworks ceased a few minutes later Moka sat up and smiled at Tsukune. She was quite ecstatic once he agreed to her little plan. She may not even be able to sleep tonight, knowing very well that she'll be spending an entire week alone with him.

"Thank you Tsukune. This really means a lot to me. I guess we should get packed for our trip then. Be sure to bring along enough clothes and toiletries for at least a week and I'll see you back here when I'm done packing as well" Moka told him with a chaste kiss on his lips. She then jumped off the soft mattress and made her way to the door. She then opened it and stepped into the hallway so she could could return to her room and prepare herself for their upcoming sabbatical to Tokyo.

"Anytime Moka. I'll see you when you're done" he replied as he hopped of his bed then walked over to his closet and began to pull out various articles of clothing that would be appropriate since it was still early spring and the weather would be getting warmer soon enough. He then made his way to the restroom located at the end of the upstairs hallway to find the toiletries he would need as well. He then returned to his room to pack everything he had decided to bring along to Tokyo.

...

*knock * knock * knock * was heard on his door once he closed his suitcase up.

"Come in, Moka" he replied as he placed his luggage on the carpeted floor at the foot of his bed.

"How'd you know it was me?" she asked once she opened his door then made her way inside and plopped herself on his bed. She was dressed in a cute nightgown, maroon in color with a scoop neckline that offered a generous view of her awe-inspiring cleavage. The hem of the bottom flared outward and rested a few centimeters, just above her knees.

She was holding a pink pillow across her ample bosom from her bedroom as well and then placed it next to his.

"I -uh just knew. I could sense your yokai close by. Um...by the way Moka...you uh - look really nice" he said as his face flushed bright crimson when he saw what she was wearing for the remainder of the night.

"Oh thank you Tsukune. I really want to sleep nude, but I will do my best keep to our promise to your mom" she replied as she placed both of her hands atop her cheeks in an adorable fashion, as she too was quite embarrassed to some extent from his always honest compliment.

"Anytime Moka...I uh, guess we should go to bed soon. It's getting kinda late" he said to Moka as she then crawled under the soft bedding and made herself comfortable.

'Oh man...why do I have to be turned on right now? What the hell's wrong with me? It's like I have no self control!' he mentally scolded himself. He had promised his mother that they would behave themselves and wouldn't 'fool around'. It was not going to be easy but would do his best to hold himself back as well. He then walked over to the door and locked it, just in case either of his parents had the bright idea to peek in on him during the night. It wasn't very likely to happen but would do so in order to avoid any unwarranted visits.

After the ebony-haired male turned off the overhead light, he quickly undressed himself and placed his neatly folded clothes on top of his computer desk near the window. Soon after he climbed into his bed and laid down on Moka's right hand side.

"Goodnight Tsukune. I love you."

"Goodnight Moka. I love you too."

"Um, Tsukune...would you like - a goodnight kiss? If you want to of course. It's okay if you don't."

"Of course Moka. What kind of boyfriend would say no to that?"

"Not a very bright one, I suppose" was her dry reply. He laughed heartily at her impromptu joke.

Yes, Moka was slowly opening up and was showing her cute side more and more.

After their last kiss of the night, the young couple held each other closely and eventually drifted off to sleep.

Tomorrow would be the start of their very first vacation together and thankfully it would go along smoothly.

They could hardly wait!

A/N:

Happy Holidays to my loyal Watchers, Friends and Followers! ^_^

Did I surprise you with a new chapter and just before Christmas? I know I said this would be out after Christmas but I worked really hard to get it done before. I actually started on this chapter the same day I uploaded the previous one 'Graduation' (Dec. 21st) and worked on it until almost 2 AM, Dec. 24th, 2013.

So here it is. I hope that you enjoyed it and if you did, please leave a brief comment. It would mean a lot to me if you did, since I really worked my butt off to get it up before I said I would. It only takes a second. It's okay if you don't but I would appreciate if you did. All feedback is welcome as long as it stays on topic, LOL.

Much thanks once again to my Beta Readers for their continued support: CorlessLawliet, Train48, Onyx2589 and edicther from deviantArt. You guys rock. ^_^
