This story takes place after the Substitute Shinigami Arc in Bleach, without The Thousand Year Blood War Arc next in line (so unfortunately Ichigo won't have his new powers since I don't have all the material I need to work with) and somewhere in the second season of Rosario + Vampire when Kokoa was trying to lure out Inner Moka. Also the anime and manga of Rosario are one in here.

If you want a better idea of my story, there are 3 trailers I made and you can watch on You Tube. Type -Ichigo x Moka Crossover AMV [Coincidence Or Fate?] – and you will find them. A small warning: Trailer 2 and 3 contain a few spoilers.

There are also some fan-made pics of the story and if you like,you can find them in my profile.

For the end; the sound effects I use are basically a means to help me connect better some parts or scenes and also to liven up a bit the story by helping you create direct sounds in your mind except images.

Now… Have a pleasant reading and enjoy!

{PART I}

[Youkai world.]

It was another ordinary morning at Youkai Academy. As always, all the students were heading normally to the school for their morning classes. Things were looking pretty quiet... Or at least until a particular group of students made their appearance.

''TAKE YOUR HANDS OF MY TSUKUNE, YOU STALKER!'' Kurumu yelled irritated at Mizore who was hugging Tsukune's left arm.

''Denied! Today it's my turn to hug him until we reach class… And what do you mean by –my-?'' Mizore asked her, frowning. ''Tsukune is my future husband. The fact that you live in a fantasy land and believe he is yours, doesn't have anything to do with us.''

''WHAT?!''

''You heard me.''

After Mizore's answer, a vain twitched on the left of Kurumu's forehead and she immediately let out her Succubi nails, getting ready to attack.

''Try saying that one more time if you dare.''

''As many times as you like.'' Mizore replied, releasing Tsukune's arm and transforming her hands into ice claws.

''Please, don't start fighting girls!'' Tsukune cried to them in a pleading tone.

''But she said that you are hers, Tsukune! I can't let that slide.''

''Even so, fighting is bad.''

''Tsukune is right. If we cause a scene, we are going to have trouble.'' Moka added, wanting to back him up.

''Shut it Moka! You are in no position to talk. Just by hugging him to drink his blood you already get pretty intimate with Tsukune. Don't think that because we allow you to suck him for your daily needs, we fully approve it. We are only patient... So stay out of this!''

Hearing her, Moka goggled startled.

''Eh...?! No… I don't do it for…''

Giving it her best, Moka tried to think of a good excuse to defend herself, but instead of that, she blushed in the thought of every time she hugged Tsukune, making Kurumu even more angry.

''See! I was right! You are enjoying this, aren't you?''

Not being able to deny her words, Moka stayed silent. On the other hand, Kurumu was ready to say more, but was interrupted by Tsukune.

''Don't be harsh on Moka-san, Kurumu-chan. She is doing it because she needs it. And I've said that I don't mind it at all.''

''I know that. But even so, I can't help it but feel jealous, Tsukune. You spend a lot of time with Moka. That's unfair!'' Kurumu complained childishly.

''Yeah! You should spend more time with me. I'm your future wife.'' Mizore added bluntly.

Kurumu had forgotten about Mizore during the previous minutes, but after hearing this, she turned her attention back to her, preparing her nails once again to attack.

''You really want a scratch on your face, don't you?'' Kurumu asked her by pointing her nails towards Mizore's face.

''…And you a hole in your gut, right?'' Mizore responded by pointing her right hand at Kurumu's stomach.

Seeing that and realizing that they were going to start a fight for real this time, Tsukune made another attempt to stop them, this time by placing himself between them.

''Honestly, stop it, girls! You shouldn't fight. We are going to be late if we don't hurry to the classroom. So, please! Calm down!'' Tsukune begged them desperately.

''Don't worry. I will, Tsukune… '' Kurumu started saying cheerfully to him.

Then she turned to Mizore.

''...After I give this stalker-woman a lesson, that is.'' She added, smirking.

''We will see who is going to give a lesson to whom.'' Mizore replied to her with a blunt expression.

The situation was quite bad. For the time being, it seemed that nothing would stop them since even Tsukune's efforts were not enough. The two of them were looking at each other in the eyes, shifting steadily their bodies into battle stance. Everything looked like they were ready for a heated fight, but in Tsukune's and Moka's relief, it never happened. Yukari, who was quiet all this time, used her magical wand and dropped two pans on their heads, making them fall on the ground unconscious.

''You two are too loud so early in the morning-desu.'' Yukari complained while rubbing her eyes due to sleepiness.

Today she had a test because she was ill the day they originally had it, so she had to stay up until late to study, reducing her sleep time.

''My head is killing me already. I don't need your screams to make it worse-desu.'' Yukari whined, touching the left rear of her head with her left fingers.

In the meantime, Tsukune and Moka were staring troubled at the two unconscious girls.

''Err… Yukari-chan… '' Tsukune started muttering hesitantly, blinking a few times.

''What is it Tsukune-san?''

''I appreciate the fact that you stopped them, but... How are we going to get them to class now?'' Tsukune continued, sweat dropping.

''Oops!'' Yukari replied, goggling embarrassed and sweat dropping too.

She acted out of instinct when she used her magic to stop the, not thinking about the consequences, do currently they ended up having a different problem in their hands.

''Haa… I guess the only choice we have, is to carry them there and try to wake them up before Nekonome-sensei arrives there.''

''Then, let me help you Tsukune. You can't carry them both.'' Moka suggested to him, volunteering herself to help him.

''Thanks, Moka-san! You are a great help as always.'' Tsukune thanked her with a grateful smile.

As for Moka; she blushed once again upon this praise. Hearing the person you love saying good things to you is something everyone wishes for.

''Let's get going.'' Tsukune claimed, grabbing Kurumu from her right shoulder and adjusting her to his body so she wouldn't fall.

''Ok!'' Moka replied while doing the same with Mizore.

Next, they resumed their course towards the school, carrying the two girls on their shoulder. But, unknowingly to them, a pair of fierce emerald eyes that belonged to a girly figure with dark orange hair in twin-tails was spying on them from a hidden spot, having a mischievous expression on her face.

''This time I won't fail, Onee-sama. This time... ''

[7 hours later – Afternoon - After classes were finally over.]

Tsukune and the girls were heading to their clubroom to finish some work they didn't have the chance to complete before.

''You know, you didn't have to use water to wake me up. I could have caught a cold.'' Kurumu complained with her hands crossed in front of her waist, pouting

''I'm sorry, Kurumu-chan! It was our last resort. You didn't wake up after whatever we tried in the beginning and we didn't have much time to think something else.'' Moka explained to her in a slightly apologetic tone.

''Still, it was too extreme! Moreover, I didn't see you doing something similar to the Stalker.''

''That's because I woke up on my own. I'm not some weak woman like you who can be defeated from a small attack like that. You need more training.''

Hearing her comment, Kurumu immediately turned to Mizore with a furious expression.

''…And you need a good lesson on public morals or an appointment to a psychiatric for your annoying hobby!'' Kurumu barked at her angrily.

Then, she turned again to the front.

''Anyway, it was an awful idea. You should have thought of something safer.'' She added in a stubborn tone.

''Ohhh… Why don't you stop whining, Cow-Boobs? It was just a glass of water. You don't have to overreact like this- desu!'' Yukari complained, irritation showing in her voice.

''Who spoke to you, Flat-Board?'' Kurumu asked her by turning to her place.

That moment, a fictional arrow with the word -Flat- pierced Yukari's chest.

''Take it back-desu!'' Yukari demanded from her, trembling due to anger.

As for Kurumu; seeing her reaction, she appeared a mischievous smile.

''And why should I do that? It's the truth, nevertheless.''

''No, it's not! I'm not flat! I have some. I checked it last Tuesday-desu.''

''Oh, Really? And how many millimeters they were? One, two, three or four at best? Because I doubt that they are beyond these numbers. You maybe don't like this fact, but whatever you do or think, in the end you're still a child.'' Kurumu teased her, sniggering.

Yukari was considered a genius due to her high intelligence, but when it came to her body's development, unfortunately she was at a child's level. A fact that Kurumu always used to tease her. But this time things wouldn't go as she expected. After that last comment and knowing that Kurumu was dead right since her chest was about 2 millimeters large, Yukari was in the brink of crying, showing signs of tears inside her eyes.

''You are the worst-desu! You are well aware of how I feel about this subject, but you keep making fun of it. I'm still growing for your information. Maybe I don't have a large bosom right now, but I will someday. And then…*sniff*… And then...*sniff*…'' Yukari started muttering while trying to restrain her tears. ''…I will show youUUU...'' She added with a crying voice, unable to keep herself or her tears under control anymore.

For the end, she closed her eyes and burst into a torrent of tears. A sight that drove Moka and Tsukune to look at her with compassionate expressions before turning their faces to Kurumu with two currently angry ones.

''This wasn't very polite, Kurumu-chan. The fact that Yukari-chan is still young and doesn't have a developed body isn't something to joke about. You have to apologize to her.'' Moka scolded her, frowning.

''But… I just teased her a little. It's not my fault that she is so sensitive.'' Kurumu replied to her to her self's defense.

''Moka-san is right. What you said was very rude to Yukari-chan. You should apologize, Kurumu-chan.'' Tsukune added strictly, following Moka.

''You too, Tsukune?'' Kurumu asked him astonished.

At the moment, Kurumu wasn't in the best position she could be. Of course, she was feeling a little guilty about making Yukari cry since inside her mind she thought of her as a little sister and that was the main reason she liked to tease her so much. But her pride as an elder woman wasn't allowing her to fall to the point of asking for forgiveness from a kid. Honestly, she was in a stalemate. -Do what was right or retain her pride and don't do a thing?- Her mind was swirling between these two questions. That moment, she took a glimpse of her beloved Tsukune, who was waiting for her decision with the same strict expression on his face and realized that if she didn't apologize to Yukari, he would be really mad at her. And that was something she definitely wanted to avoid. So, understanding that she didn't have much of a choice, she came close to Yukari and placed her right palm gently on top of her head.

''What...? *sniff*… You haven't… *sniff*…had…*sniff*… enough…? *sniff*…'' Yukari asked her, still crying, lifting her face after feelings Kurumu's touch.

Witnessing that sight, Kurumu felt even worse, so she decided to get over with it quickly to relieve both of them (herself and Yukari) from their torture. So, she gulped and began her apology.

''Y-You know… Y-You don't have to keep taking me so seriously every single time… I-I was only joking… Yeah…! J-Joking… S-So, there's no reason to cry anymore… C-Cheer up... A-And I'm s-sorry.'' Kurumu muttered to her with a trembling voice.

Well, she had decided to apologize, but that didn't mean that it was easy.

''You… You mean it? It's not one of your plans to make me let my guard down and then do something even crueler to me, right-desu?'' Yukari asked her reservedly to make sure that what she heard wasn't her imagination.

Having Kurumu apologize to her was the last thing she would expect to experience.

''No, it's not. I really mean it. Sorry. I went too far. You may not have a big chest, but as you said, in the future you may get one. I assure you that I won't make fun of your chest anymore.'' Kurumu reassured her in a gentle tone.

''You promise?'' Yukari asked, wiping her tears away.

''Yes... I promise…'' Kurumu answered to her, feeling the burden of her guilt being lifted from her.

Next, she caught Yukari's cheeks and started pinching them lightly.

''But, hey… If you dare to call me again Cow-Boobs or anything else, I know a ton of other things to punish you with. Got it?''

''YYeess…'' Yukari responded with difficulty since her cheeks were stretched like rubber. ''MMerrcyyy-deesuu…''

''Nope! No mercy.'' Kurumu replied to her, smiling playfully.

At the same time and while the two of them were busy with their comic acts, Tsukune, Moka and Mizore were watching them, also smiling since the two of them were finally able to reconcile.

''I'm so happy with how things ended up.'' Moka stated in a relieved tone.

''Me too.'' Tsukune agreed the same way.

''It would be a shame to have them start arguing again for such trivial matters. They look way better like this. Almost like sisters.'' Moka claimed, smiling.

Hearing those words, Mizore came to a sudden realization.

''Hey…! Speaking of sisters… Don't you think that's odd that we still haven't seen that little Pain-in-the-butt, Kokoa, all day?'' Mizore pointed, turning her face to Moka. ''Wasn't she constantly trying to attack you or use some crazy device every day to unleash your inner self?''

''Yes! But I have no idea where she is today. I haven't met her since yesterday.''

''Hmm… This looks suspicious. I'm wondering what she is up to.'' Mizore murmured skeptically to herself.

''Maybe she finally gave up and she is thinking a new way to approach Moka-san. She must have realized that she is not as bad as she thought in the start.'' Tsukune claimed cheerfully.

''You are too optimistic, Tsukune. Characters like Kokoa don't change so easily. She must be planning something. The question is what.'' Mizore replied to him with a doubtful expression.

''Anyway… Let's go to the clubroom and we will think about it later. What do you say guys?'' Moka suggested to them, wanting to skip the subject since she didn't like it when someone was badmouthing her little sister.

Although she, herself, knew that pretty much everything was true.

''Good idea! Let's do that, Moka-san.'' Tsukune claimed, understanding the reason behind her suggestion.

''Whatever!'' Mizore responded with a blunt look on her face.

''KURUMU-CHAN! YUKARI-CHAN! WE ARE LEAVING! COME OVER HERE.'' Tsukune called out to the two girls, who were continuing their make-up game.

''OK! BE RIGHT THERE, TSUKUNE!'' Kurumu shouted enthusiastically.

''WE ARE COMING!'' Yukari added, mimicking her.

Following that, all of them resumed their way to their clubroom, this time being in a better mood than before. At least most of them except Moka who was secretly worried about the reason her little sister hadn't shown up at all that day.

''I haven't thought about it, but Mizore-chan has a point. Kokoa looks every day for a chance to force me release my other self. The fact that she hasn't made her appearance until now, it's pretty odd. I hope it's not because something bad happened to her…''

[15 minutes later - In the hallway outside the Newspaper Club's clubroom.]

''Here we are!'' Tsukune commented, stopping in front of the door with the girls beside him.

Then, he grabbed its handle with his left hand while holding the door's key with his right one, getting ready to unlock the lock. But to his great surprise, when he touched it, the door opened suddenly a few second before he had the time to put the key in the keyhole, meaning that it was unlocked.

''Strange…'' He murmured puzzled. ''I thought that we locked it before we left for our last class.''

''Are you sure, Tsukune? It could be that you forgot it without realizing it.'' Moka asked him skeptically.

''No! I'm sure. I certainly locked it when we left. It shouldn't be open.''

''You think that someone broke in-desu?'' Yukari wondered worried.

''I don't know. But if we want to find out, we have to go inside.'' Tsukune replied to her, staring decisively towards the gap between the door and the wall.

''In that case, let me go in first.'' Kurumu suggested, making some steps and getting like this in front of Tsukune and closer to the door. ''I won't allow anything to harm my Tsukune.'' She added and expanded her nails.

''Be careful, Kurumu-chan!'' Moka warned her, a worried feeling settling inside her at the thought that someone or something dangerous could be behind the door.

''We are covering you.'' Mizore assured Kurumu, preparing her ice claws and placing herself behind her.

''Yeah-desu!'' Yukari added, pulling her magic wand out of her school bag.

''Got it…'' Kurumu replied to them by turning her face to her back

Next, she turned it again to her front.

''I'm going in.'' She claimed and got ready to walk inside.

She was a little afraid herself of what could be inside their clubroom, but despite that, she gathered her courage, pushed the door and made a step forward, setting her guard up. Whatever was inside, better be ready, because she wouldn't let anyone or anything touch her beloved one.

However, to hers and to everyone's astonishment, when she got in, scouting the room, she and all the others who were standing behind her noticed that it was empty.

''What's going on?'' Mizore questioned confused, scanning the room with her eyes.

''Seems that there is no one here-desu.'' Yukari commented, doing the same.

''But, in this case, why was the door unlocked? The only ones who have keys for our clubroom are us and Gin-sempai, who is currently on a home visit. The only logical explanation for the door to be unlocked is that someone else opened it themselves using a spare key.'' Tsukune deduced puzzled.

''Anyway… Whoever did that is not here anymore. And personally, I prefer it this way. At least now we can relax and do our work in peace.'' Kurumu said and withdrew her claws.

But her assumption was wrong.

''Don't bet on that.'' A female voice was heard without a warning from above them.

That moment, everyone turned startled their gaze to the ceiling, discovering in the process Kokoa being above them, grabbed from the cable of one of the room's lamps by using her left hand.

''Kokoa?!'' Moka questioned shocked. ''What are you doing up there...? No! How did you got inside?''

''Heh, heh…!'' Kokoa snickered and placed her right hand inside the right pocket of her jacket, pulling out a key. ''…With a little help from this!'' She claimed proudly to all of them, showing them the key.

''T-This key…'' Tsukune muttered with his eyes wide open.

''That's the same as the keys we use to open our clubroom-desu.'' Yukari pointed in the same state.

''How the heck did you obtain one, annoying brat?'' Kurumu asked her upset.

''It was piece of cake. I stole Onee-sama's key from her bag when all of you were eating lunch on the roof.'' Kokoa answered to her, smirking.

''Say what?!'' Kurumu questioned shocked and turned to Moka. ''Don't tell me…''

While she was doing that, Moka had opened her schoolbag and had started searching for her key, but without success.

''It's not here.'' She commented stunned.

Upon that comment, Kurumu face palmed herself.

''My god!'' She sighed and after that removed her hand, turning irritated towards Moka. ''Who in the entire world is so stupid to leave important things like their keys behind when they have to move away from their stuff? I can't believe how irresponsible you are Moka!''

''Sorry.'' Moka replied to her, lowering her face due to embarrassment.

''Whatever…'' Kokoa claimed, hearing them and next umped down to the floor, landing close to Moka, startling her. ''I failed a lot of times, but not today. Today I have the right thing to finally release my true Moka-onee-sama.'' She stated in a confident tone.

''What are you talking about, Kokoa-chan?'' Tsukune asked her worried.

Then, instead of words, Kokoa responded by pulling something else from her other pocket, directing it straight to Moka's direction. It was a black, round, metallic object with two indigo lines that covered only half of it and had a closed slit at the center while also forming a cross on its front side. In addition, there were some tiny, multicolored runes in the four gaps between the lines and something that looked like a button made of a crimson jewel at the top of it.

''This!'' Kokoa stated to him, again proudly.

''And what's that, Kokoa-chan?'' Yukari asked her full of curiosity.

''Probably something stupid she picked up somewhere. I'm sure that it's useless like every other object she used up until now.'' Kurumu mumbled with a bored expression.

''The little girl likes to play with balls.'' Mizore added in a teasing tone.

A combination of comments that made Kokoa scowls and moves her right index finger over the box's button.

''Is that so? Let's see then how stupid or useless it is.'' She said to them, very frustrated from the fact that they were underestimating her.

''Wait a minute, Kokoa! Let's talk it over.'' Moka pleaded to her anxiously.

''Too late.'' Kokoa replied to her and pushed the button.

*Click*

''Goodbye fake Onee-sama and welcome real Onee-sama.''

In the following seconds the runes on the box started glowing and the slits in the center of the lines opened widely, revealing a shiny, multicolored void that began emitting a strong attraction force, pulling Moka closer to it. Then, feeling her body being pulled and fearing what would happen to her if she was to be sucked in that sphere; she tried to oppose it by turning around and grabbing swiftly a big table.

''Ggkkk… It's… too… strong…'' She muttered, tightening her teeth.

At the same time, realizing that it was too difficult for her to withstand the attraction, Tsukune ran to her aid, extending his right hand towards her place.

''Come on Moka-san! Take my hand. I will pull you.'' Tsukune said to her, stretching his hand the most he could.

As for Moka; seeing him trying to help her, she smiled from happiness and released her right grip of the table to catch his hand. Following that, she grabbed it tightly, meaning that he could start already pulling her to his side with all his might.

But unfortunately, the attraction force was even stronger than their joint efforts and it ended up pulling them both this time. A sight that by noticing it, Kurumu, Mizore and Yukari grabbed Tsukune in a flash from both his waist and chest, trying altogether to prevent him from being sucked inside the void together with Moka.

''WHAT ARE YOU DOING, TSUKUNE? THIS WAY BOTH OF YOU WILL END UP BEING SUCKED.'' Kurumu shouted at him upset.

''Even if that's the case, I won't let Moka-san vanish inside that thing.''

''This is getting too tough. It's starting to get stronger by the second.'' Mizore commented while tightening her grip on Tsukune's waist and trying at the same time to hold her ground.

''I think my hands can't hold up any longer-desu.'' Yukari whined, feeling her fingers going numb.

''Please, girls! Keep it up! Don't give up just yet.'' Tsukune pleaded to them intensively, clenching his teeth due to the pressure he was sustaining from all the pulling.

On the other hand, a few centimeters across them, witnessing how hard her beloved Tsukune and her friends were trying to help her, Moka felt a strong guilt forming inside her for giving them such troubles and endangering them simultaneously of being sucked into the void with her. A guilt that leaded her to a conclusion…

She didn't like the idea, but at this point there was only one solution for this extreme situation. And this was to sacrifice herself so the others could be saved. So, with a strong resolve and the wish for her dear ones to be saved, she began loosening her grip on Tsukune's hand.

''What are you doing, Moka-san? Grab my hand tighter or else…'' Tsukune asked of her the moment he noticed what she was doing.

''It's ok Tsukune…'' Moka replied to him in a low tone and with teary eyes.

Hearing that, Tsukune goggled shocked.

''What do you mean Moka-san?''

''We had a lot of fun together, eh Tsukune? But it seems that this is the end. I don't like watching you all pushing yourselves so hard for me. That's why I decided to give up. You don't need to hold me anymore''

''Don't say that, Moka-san! If we try harder, we will succeed.''

''No... You don't need to, Tsukune. Just promise me one thing. When my other self comes out, please treat her like you treated me. She may be a little stubborn and hostile, but deep down she is gentle.''

In front of that statement, Tsukune started too shedding tears from his eyes.

''Wait… DON'T DO IT MOKA-SAN!''

''Bye, bye Tsukune… Everyone… It was nice meeting you all. Take care...''

With these as her last words, Moka pushed Tsukune's hand off her own and let herself be sucked completely inside the void. Then, her body started dematerializing to tiny bits, which were flowing fast towards the sphere's interior, and for the end, the slits closed and the runes stopped shining. Outer Moka was now gone.

''MOKAAA-SAAAANNN...!'' Tsukune screamed from the depths of his lungs, falling on his knees with his face covered in tears and his whole body trembling.

''Wow…! I can't believe it. It really sucked her...'' Kurumu commented astonished.

''This is not good. Not good at all. Outer Moka was a worthy rival, but her Inner version is too hardcore to handle.'' Mizore added.

''This is terrible! What are we going to do now-desu?'' Yukari questioned worried.

That moment, Kurumu turned her face towards Kokoa and looked at her angrily.

''It's all her fault.'' She stated, pointing at her with her left index finger.

As for her; Kokoa didn't pay any attention to her, but instead of that, for some strange reason she was examining thoroughly the object that had just sucked her big sister. Noticing that, Kurumu's anger rose.

''HEY! YOU! STOP IGNORING ME!'' She yelled at her with many veins twitching on her forehead.

Despite that, Kokoa continued not paying any attention to her, muttering something to herself with a puzzled look on her face.

''Weird! It was supposed to bring out Onee-sama right after it sucked the fake. Why doesn't it do anything? Did it break or something?''

''AAARRGGG… THAT DOES IT! I'm going to teach her a lesson on how she shouldn't ignore her elders when they talk to her.'' Kurumu growled, reaching her patience's limits and then started approaching Kokoa, getting ready to beat her to a pulp.

But before she had the chance, Ruby ran like frenzy inside the clubroom, interrupting her course and drawing the attention of everyone else who was there. All except Kokoa's who remained focused on her gadget.

''Please… Haaa… Don't tell me… Haa... That I'm too late... Haa…'' Ruby said to them, patting.

''Ruby?!'' Kurumu questioned surprised.

''What are you doing here, Ruby-san?'' Yukari asked her, walking close to her.

''…And why do you look like you just came from a marathon?'' Mizore asked second bluntly.

''Haa… Gkhm… Pardon me for this. I just have something very important to tell you. More accurately… to Moka-san. Where is she?''

Hearing Moka's name, Tsukune pounded the floor with his right fist and tightened his eyelids from the pain and grief he was feeling inside him.

''Moka-san… Moka-san… is gone, Ruby-san.'' Tsukune answered to her in a sad and weak tone.

''What to do you mean Tsukune-san?''

''A few minutes ago, Moka-san was sucked inside that round thing Kokoa-chan is holding, Ruby-san.'' Yukari answered to her since Tsukune couldn't find any more strength to speak.

Taking her answer, Ruby turned her face to Kokoa who was too busy searching why her plan didn't work.

''So, in the end, I was late…'' Ruby murmured to herself, lowering her eyelids saddened. ''…I was hoping that I would prevent it, but I failed.''

After that, she clenched her fists from guilt and anger towards herself for not being fast enough to stop that tragedy.

''Do you know something about what happened to Moka-san, Ruby-san?'' Yukari asked her confused and a bit worried due to her reaction.

''Yeah… That metallic object that Kokoa is holding is an ancient artifact that belongs to the Director. Its name is Sphere of Orion. It's a powerful magical machine that has the ability to send someone to another dimension.''

''-Another dimension-?! Seriously now?!'' Kurumu questioned, goggling shocked.

''Well, that's something unexpected!'' Mizore commented, raising an eyebrow.

''This means that… Right now… Moka-san is travelling to another world-desu?'' Yukari asked her, shaking like a fish.

''Exactly!''

''Hold on a second!'' Kokoa demanded then, interrupting the flow of their discussion and deciding finally to pay a little attention to their words. ''What kind of nonsense are you spurting over there? I read that this thing has the power to swap souls and unleash inner personalities. How in the world is it possible that it transfers people to other dimensions?''

''That's because the artifact you are currently holding is not the one you are referring to. The one you mean and can actually do that is called Sphere of Algor. The truth is that it is similar to the Sphere of Orion considering its appearance, but their powers are completely different. I'm guessing that you read about it in one of our library's books and managed to discover that it was here, so you decided to steal it to accomplish your goal of bringing out Moka-san's other personality, right…?''

''Igkk…'' Kokoa groaned, goggling intensively in the middle of Ruby's speech.

''…But you made a mistake in your hurry to not get discovered and took the wrong artifact. And that's how things took a turn for the worst, forcing Moka-san to vanish from our world.'' Ruby concluded with a serious expression.

Then, feeling a small ray of hope shining upon him after what he heard, Tsukune stood up and stepped closer to Ruby.

''Ruby-san… If I'm not mistaken, are you implying that there is still a way to bring Moka-san back?''

'Yes! There is. If we use again the Sphere, we can travel to the dimension Moka-san went and retrieve her.''

Those words sounded like music to his ears and a smile of relief made its appearance immediately on his previously teary face.

''However, before we do that, we have to locate the dimension she went. There exist a lot other worlds besides ours, so we can't act if firstly we don't find the one we are looking for.''

''And how long will this take, Ruby-san? We can't afford to waste much time.'' Tsukune asked her impatiently.

''That's something I don't know. I'm going to take the Sphere back to the Director and I'm sure that he will know what to do to locate Moka-san. But until he finishes his search, the only thing we can do, is wait patiently.'' Ruby answered to him with a straight voice.

''I see…'' Tsukune replied disheartened with a sad expression that erased his newfound smile.

An act that after witnessing it, feeling sorry for him, Ruby raised slightly her right hand, placing it on his right shoulder.

''Don't worry, Tsukune-san. Everything is going to be alright. We will find Moka-san and then we will return altogether here safe and sound. So, don't lose your hope. Have faith.'' Ruby advised him in a compassionate tone.

''Thank you, Ruby-san!''

''You are welcome!'' Ruby replied with satisfied expression and following that, she turned to Kokoa, changing her expression to an upset one. ''Now, concerning you, little miss Troublemaker, I will have you come with me. The Director wants to have a word with you about this case.''

''Eek!'' Kokoa squeaked from fear, knowing pretty well that she was screwed. ''Well… You see…'' She started saying, sweat dropping. ''…I… HAVE SOME OTHER BUSINESS TO ATTEND.'' She screamed, running towards the clubroom's window to escape.

''I don't think so.'' Ruby claimed, raising her magic wand to Kokoa's direction and freezing her movements with magic. ''Stealing goes against the school's rules, so you need a little discipline.'' She added and began pulling Kokoa to her location, again with magic.

After that, she bid farewell to everyone in the room and headed towards the Director's office, dragging Kokoa beside her by the use of a magic spell. On the other hand, the others, who stayed behind, were still trying to take in the whole absurd incident.

''I can't believe what happened. I mean, who knew that there was a way to travel between dimensions... Or better, that there are other dimensions.'' Kurumu commented in a state of confusion.

''We live in a magic world. Something like this is probably possible. Quite crazy, but still possible.'' Mizore pointed to her bluntly.

''All of it seems like science fiction. I hope Moka-san is ok-desu.'' Yukari murmured with a worried expression on her face.

''She is! I'm certain she is fine.'' Tsukune said to her with a steady voice, having regained his composure.

''Tsukune-san…?!'' Yukari questioned after hearing his words and turning to him.

''Ruby-san is right. Losing our hope is meaningless. What we need to do now, is believe. Believe and wait for the time when we will be able to see Moka-san again.''

''Right! We will-desu!'' Yukari stated cheerfully due to his encouragement.

''Haa… I suppose we have to help her. I want to beat her in the race for Tsukune's heart, but a win like this looks too pathetic. That's why I will get her back and beat her fair and square.'' Kurumu proclaimed, raising and clenching her right fist in the air.

''That goes for me too. She may be a rival, but my pride won't let me accept a withdrawal of this kind. If she wants to quit, she will have to do it here and on her own.'' Mizore added in a serious tone, frowning.

Hearing their words, Tsukune smiled.

''Thank you everybody.'' He thanked them, turning next to the clubroom's window with a look full of determination. ''Wait for us Moka-san. Wherever you go, we will find you and bring you back. Definitely!''

[In the meantime - Inside the void of dimensions.]

After being swallowed by Kokoa's strange object, Moka was flowing currently inside something that looked like a white river of light, full of images of strange places that were appearing around her, but she didn't have the chance to analyze completely since they were far from her and she was moving at high speed, heading to unknown destination.

''What's happening to me? Is this really how it is to be sealed away permanently? Previously, every time my other half came out, I was transferred to a dark place with a small, round window that allowed me to watch what was happening outside. Now it's something completely different... In addition, what are all these images? When I first noticed them, I thought that they were from my memories, but they aren't. I have never seen these places before… My God…! All of this is pretty weird…'' Moka commented in her head.

Next, she redirected her thoughts to Tsukune and the girls.

''I'm wondering what is happening back right now. I hope they aren't so sad that I left. I seriously wouldn't like to think that I caused them so much grief… Especially to Tsukune... He tends to overreact in situations like this one... At least, the girls are there for him, so he will have support. From them and also… my other self… She is an extremely stubborn person and can be quite rude some times, but I think that she is going to soften up with time.'' She added, shedding a couple of tears from her eyes. ''My only wish is for her to make Tsukune happy in my stead.'' She concluded, placing her hands on her chest.

Then, while she was deep in thought, her rosary's gem started suddenly shining in a crimson light, taking the form of a vampire's eye.

''Who are you calling stubborn and rude…? You wimp!'' Inner Moka's voice was heard growling angrily inside of the rosary.

''Eh?!'' Moka jolted surprised and lowered her face towards her rosary. ''You?! How…? Are you still within me?''

''Apparently… Or else, how can you explain the fact that you are hearing my voice?'' Inner Moka answered to her in a slightly sarcastic tone with a question of her own.

''But… I thought Kokoa was going to separate us and let you out with that object she was holding.''

''Well, it seems that she failed again… Gosh, what a troublesome little sister?! If I were back right now, I would have given her a good spanking to teach her a good lesson so she stops playing with dangerous devices''

''Wait a minute…! If we are not separated and I'm not being sealed away at the moment… Where are we then? What is this place?''

''No idea.''

''What are we going to do? If we are both here, this means that none of us is currently with Tsukune. And knowing him, he's going to get depressed and feel guilty because he couldn't help us... We have to go back immediately!'' Moka claimed in panic.

''Calm down, will you? Panic won't help us. We need to think calmly to be able to find a soluti…'' Inner Moka started advising her, but then she unexpectedly stopped mid-way for some reason. ''Um?!''

''What happened? Why did you stop?'' Moka asked her puzzled.

''I'm sensing a strong energy source in front of us. Look straigh…''

''Eh?! What did you sa…''

*Fhhst* (Sound of something passing a portal)

Before both of them were able to finish their sentences, Moka's body entered an image that was in her way and disappeared inside a golden flash of light.

[Karakura town – Evening - Inside a narrow alley between two tall buildings.]

Everything was normal at Karakura Town when suddenly, out of nowhere, a small, golden, shiny hole opened in the atmosphere and following that, many bits of a human body started flowing in the air from inside of it, gathering in a single spot and materializing fully Moka's body.

''What was that? My head feels like it was thrown in a blender.'' Moka whined, feeling extremely dizzy from the entire materialization process.

''It seems that we got inside a portal or something and we were transferred somewhere.''

Hearing that comment, Moka walked a little to get out of the alley and check where she was. There, she saw a large road in front of her, a lot of normal-looking buildings at both its sides and many people who were walking casually here and there or were doing some outdoor work. With simple words… an ordinary human society inside a city.

''Where are we? This place is like the Human World back at our home, but somehow, it has a different feeling to it.'' Moka claimed, looking around.

''I'm of the same opinion.'' Inner Moka replied to her in a slightly skeptical tone.

''What are we going to do from now on?''

''First, we have to figure out where this place is and what it is called... Go ask someone for information and don't forget to act natural. We are already in a bad situation. We have no need for additional problems.''

''Ok.''

After that and having decided on their first move with her alter ego, Moka walked a little away from the alley, noticing then an old man coming closer to her place. –I could ask him!- she thought. -Most elders usually are polite to others and don't hesitate to give information if asked.- she added in her head, so without further ado, she waved to him to stop. Something he actually did when he saw her gesture.

''Err...Excuse me... Could I make you a question, sir? Please!'' Moka asked him politely.

''My pleasure, my young lady. I am always happy to help young people if I can… Especially such beautiful girls as you.'' The old man answered to her with a kind smile.

Upon his compliment, Moka's cheeks turned red.

''Thank you…Err… Concerning my question now… Would it be possible to tell me exactly where am I? I came here recently from far away and I'm sort of lost.''

''Ah, that's what you want to learn? That's an easy one. We are in the west part of Karakura Town.''

''Karakura Town?!'' Moka questioned confused.

''Yes! Do you want to go somewhere specifically? I can assist you if you need someone to show you the way. I live here since I was a young boy, so I know the town pretty well, I dare to say.'' The old man stated to her proudly.

''No, no! It's ok. I will manage.''

''I see... If that's the case, I suppose we have to part now. Have a nice day, young lady.'' The old man bid to her with a small smile.

Next, he started walking away from her, but before he had the chance to make more than four steps, Moka waved again to him, interrupting his course.

''Eerrrmm… Could I ask you one more thing before you leave, sir?''

''Of course! What is it?'' The Old man asked her, back stopping at his tracks.

''Sir… Are you…human?'' Moka asked him hesitantly, a fidgeting.

''Huh...? I don't quite understand what you are talking about, young lady. What do you mean by this? What else could I be except a human?'' The old man answered to her with a question of his own and a puzzled expression.

''Eh?!... No... I mean…''

''Idiot! Stop spurting nonsense and get the heck out of here before he thinks you are some psychopath!'' Inner Moka snapped at her other half irritated.

Then, realizing that she had made a major blunder, Moka bowed slightly to him…

''...Aah… Eek… No… Forget that… Thank you again for your information. Have a nice day too and GOODBYE!''

...and not wasting a single second, she started running towards the opposite direction.

''What a weird girl... Beautiful, but weird...'' The old man thought while watching her running away. ''Oh, well… Let's move on.'' He added, resuming his walking towards his own destination.

[10 minutes later - At another location.]

Following her quick flee from the old man's side, Moka ran for some meters to lose him until she got tired and leaned on a wall with both her hands, trying to catch her breath.

''Haa... Haa… My legs… Haa…''

''You are unbelievable! Was that honestly your way of being natural?''

''Haa… Sorry…''

''You should be…Anyway… Thankfully, we got a small hint of the place we are. Not that it helps us in general, but at least we learned of the name of this town and the fact that this is a world of humans. So, be careful of what you are saying from now on. We don't know how the people here would react in front of a monster.''

''Ok.''

''Good!''

*Growl*

''Oh!''

''Seems you are hungry. Well, it's logical. You haven't eaten anything since lunch break. Better look for a place that sells food so you can grab a bite.''

''Yes!''

From there, Moka began searching for a place to buy some food, but unfortunately for her, each store she visited, asking them to sell her something to eat; no one accepted the money of her world, refusing to sell her their products.

[20 minutes later – In front of a street canteen.]

''Please! I beg you! Only a small sandwich!'' Moka begged with teary eyes the canteen's owner

''How many times do I have to tell it to you, girly? No money, no food.'' The owner stated to her coldly.

''But I have money.'' Moka replied to him, showing to him her money.

''I have never seen money like these in my entire life. It looks fake.'' The owner claimed after analyzing them with a wary expression.

''No, they are not. They are real. Please, believe me! I just want something to eat.''

''If you want something to eat, try finding some usable money. Until you do so, I can't sell you anything. I make a living out of these snacks. If I start giving them for free, I'd go bankrupt.''

''But…''

''End of discussion! Either go away and come back with some real money, or I'm calling the cops. Got it?'' The owner threatened her aggressively.

''O-Ok. I will leave. Sorry for bothering you…'' Moka apologized in a low and sad tone.

Next, she walked away from the canteen, with her face lowered.

''I suppose, things are most likely going to be pretty tough for us.''

''I can't disagree on that…''

*Grooowll*

''…But seriously, you need to find a way to eat something. If this situation continues, we are going to die from starvation.''

''But how?! The money we use back home are useless in this world.''

''Hmm… That's certainly a fact… Then… Despite not liking the idea myself since it goes against our race's code of honor… I think you have to steal some. It's our last option.'' Inner Moka suggested to her with a noticeable hesitation as well as shame in her words.

''What?! No way! I won't steal anything. Stealing is a crime.'' Moka refused intensively, scolding her inner half.

''Then, what are you going to do? Wait until you starve to death? You want to return back to Tsukune and the others, right? How exactly are you going to do it if you don't have even the ability to walk because of hunger?''

''I don't know... But in any case, I won't become a criminal.'' Moka claimed stubbornly.

''Damn! That hardheaded part of yours really gets on my nerves!'' Inner Moka commented annoyed at her outer self.

''Still, better than being a criminal.'' Moka stated to her in the same stubborn tone.

Following that, the two of them continued arguing with each other, unable like this to sense that Moka was being watched by a group of sinister eyes.

[At a location a few meters away from Moka.]

Unknowingly to Moka and her inner half, three guys were spying on her, smirking mischievously.

''That's surely a cutie.'' The first one commented, rubbing his chin with his left hand.

''It would be awesome to have some fun with her… If you know what I mean!'' The second one added, putting his right index finger in a hole he had made with the thumb and the index finger of his left hand.

''I couldn't agree more! She looks like she is having some money issues. I will lend her a helping hand and with a little sweet-talking, she is going to become our plaything for tonight.'' The third one announced to them with a wide grin.

''It's decided, then!'' The first one claimed, lifting his right thumb.

''Go and make us proud as always, pal.'' The second one said to the third one, giving him an encouraging pound on his right shoulder.

''Gottcha…! And as for you two; if I need you, I'll give you a signal, so hide somewhere and wait for me. Not that it's going to be so hard, but just in case.'' The third one instructed them and left to put his plan into action.

[Back to Moka's place.]

In the meantime, Moka was still arguing with her inner half.

''I said, no!''

''And I said, do it! This body doesn't belong only to you. If something were to happen to you, it will affect me too.''

''-No- means, NO! I won't steal.''

''How the hell are you going to find food, then? Our money is useless here.''

''I'm…not sure… But anyway, stealing is out of the question!''

''GOD! You are SO annoying!''

''Say whatever you like. I won't trample on my principles for a little food. I…'' Moka was saying to her, but wouldn't have the chance to finish her speech.

While she was in the middle of it, a male voice was heard unexpectedly from her back, interrupting her.

''Excuse, miss… May I have a little talk with you?''

Hearing it, Moka turned backwards to face nits owner.

He was a handsome young man with short, blond hair, wearing a blue t-shirt with white letters across the chest area, black jeans and white shoes.

''Eh…? Oh… Yes... Of course… What would you like to tell me?'' Moka answered to him a little startled with a question of her own.

''My name is Hiro and well… I happened to witness that unfortunate incident between you and that canteen's owner, so assuming that you have some financial problems, I thought that I could probably offer you my help you if you agree.'' Hiro volunteered, smiling.

''Really?!'' Moka asked him joyfully since it seemed that her luck hadn't abandoned her completely.

How sadly mistaken she was!

''Yes! It's a gentleman's duty to help a lady when she undergoes hurdles. I can lend you some money, so you can buy whatever you want from that close-minded money seeker... Or, if you wish it, we can go to a better place like a restaurant and have a more fulfilling meal. What do you say?''

''Thanks a lot! I appreciate your offer from the bottom of my heart, but you don't need to do something so extravagant like take me for a meal to a restaurant. I would be equally pleased with just something small like a snack to satisfy my stomach. And either way, I still don't know how I could even repay you for this since I don't have anything to repay you for your kindness…'' Moka started saying to him timidly, but that moment, she suddenly remembered something important she had neglected and she goggled.''…Oh! I almost forgot to introduce myself. My name is Moka.''

''Pleased to meet you, own name is Hiro… And don't worry. We will find a way.'' Hiro replied to her, trying to hide a faint, devious smirk on his face.

[15 minutes later - At a nearby park.]

Next, the two of them returned to the canteen and this time Moka was finally able to buy a sandwich with the money Hiro lent to her. Continuing from there, both moved to a park that was some meters away and sat on a bench so Moka could enjoy her food more comfortably.

''Is it good?'' Hiro asked her after she had the first bite.

''Yes! It's delicious! Thanks again, Hiro-kun! You are such a good person! I'm glad for meeting you when I was in such a pinch.'' Moka replied to him with a satisfied smile.

''Me too... And also, I'm happy to hear that I was of some help to you.'' Hiro said to her and placed his right arm slowly around her shoulders, getting also closer to her.

Noticing his gesture, Moka jolted a bit from surprise and started feeling pretty uncomfortable with his arm around her.

''Err… Hiro-kun... You are too close. Would you mind sitting a bit further?'' She asked of him politely.

''Why? Didn't you said that I'm very good person and you are glad that you met me? Doesn't this mean that you want to be friends? And friends are people who are very close to each other, as they say.''

''I agree. But I don't think they mean this.''

''You are cold, Moka-chan.'' Hiro stated to her, faking a sad expression. ''As you saw, I didn't hesitate to give you my money when you needed it. So, you shouldn't be so distant towards me. Don't forget that you owe me.''

''I haven't forgotten it, but…'' Moka started saying with a worried look on her face, but was cut short.

''No, buts!'' Hiro replied to her and came even closer, trying to kiss her.

On the other hand, realizing what he was about to do, Moka's expression changed in flash to an angry one and she responded to the kiss by throwing her sandwich at his face, repelling him. Following that, she jumped away from the bench.

''YOU BITCH! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING?'' Hiro shouted furiously at her while wiping the sandwich's remnants of his face.

''I should ask you the same. What were you trying to do a minute ago? I'm grateful to you for lending me money and I'm aware that I must repay you, but I never said that I will do it like that.'' Moka replied to him, scowling frustrated.

''Stupid woman! It would have been easier if you just went with the flow... Anyway, since plan A failed, I have no other choice.'' Hiro stated to her and without wasting a second, he raised his left hand into the air and clicked his fingers.

An action that alerted his two companions, who were hiding behind some bushes, driving them to jump out of them and restrain Moka with their hands so she wouldn't escape.

''What's going on? Who are you people?'' Moka asked the two unknown men that had her trapped.

''They are my buddies and also the guaranty I have that you will repay me.'' Hiro explained to her with an evil grin.

''What?!'' Moka questioned shocked.

''This girl is even prettier from up close, buddy.'' The first one commented by taking a better look at her.

''…And she feels so soft. I'm dying to have a taste of her boobs. '' The second one added and tried to grope her left breast.

''NOO…!'' Moka screamed and kicked him in the gut, sending him flying four meters away.

A sight that made Hiro and his other friend open widely their eyes in front of that superhuman feat.

''Wow! You are really strong for that timid appearance yours. I give it to you! Now it will be even more interesting to` break` you.'' Hiro stated to her with an amused look on his face.

''NEVER!'' Moka yelled at him angrily. ''Let me go or the same thing will happen to you too.''

''I wouldn't be so sure if I were you, Moka-chan.'' Hiro claimed to her and made a nod to his friend who was still holding her.

He, understanding almost immediately what Hiro was implying with that, pulled a small knife from his right pocket, placing it next in front of Moka's neck.

''What?!'' Moka questioned shocked when she felt the coldness of the blade touching her flesh.

''Don't get too cocky, Baby... Unless you want a nice cut right through your beautiful neck that is.'' The first one threatened her, pushing a little further the knife's blade on her flesh, making it bleed slightly.

''You, crooks! You are going to pay for this. When people come here and see what you are doing, you will go to jail.''

''I don't think so.'' Hiro said to her completely unfazed by her words. ''No one comes to this park at this hour. It's the perfect place for business like this one.'' He pointed to her and next, he turned his face towards his other friend who was still lying on the ground. ''How long are you intending to stay down? Get up or we will enjoy her without you.''

Hearing him, Hiro's friend rushed to get up, holding his gut.

''Tch! This bitch's kick is crazy strong. It felt like I was hit by a metal pole.'' He whined with a sign of pain to his voice.

''Yeah… Whatever...'' Hiro responded to his whining and turned back to Moka, starting walking closer to her. ''And now my dear, it's payback time.''

''No…I don't want to… Go away…! Leave me alone…!'' Moka cried with tears coming out of her eyes while watching Hiro approaching her with a lustful expression on his face.

At the moment, the situation was something more than terrible for her. She was immobilized with a knife threatening her life and three horny rapists, who wanted to `take` her virginity and violate her body, standing around her. And to make matters worse, if Hiro's words were true, she didn't have any hope of being saved by anyone. The whole thing looked truly like a bad nightmare. She dreamed of giving her `first time` to Tsukune someday since he was her beloved one, but as things stood, she was about to lose it to some shameless street punks.

''Alright! Let's begin the `feast`.'' Hiro announced to his friends when he arrived a few millimeters away from her front side.

After that, he placed his right hand under her skirt, groping her right thigh roughly and continuing next towards her vagina.

At the same time, the other two started too groping her with their hormones reaching their max. The first one by placing his hands on her breasts, continuing what he was planning to do earlier when she interrupted him by kicking him and the second with the knife by slipping his left hand under her panties her, caressing her ass while trying simultaneously to slip his middle finger inside it.

''NO… FOR GOD'S SAKE…! STOP IT…! PLEASE…! DON'T DO THIS TO ME… I DON'T WANT TO MY FIRST TIME TO BE LIKE THIS… I BEG YOU, LISTEN TO ME...!'' Moka begged them as intensively as she could, this time with a trembling voice and a river of tears flowing down her face.

''You talk too much.'' Hiro commented annoyed of her pleadings and grasped her chin with his free hand, making her face him while he, himself, was simultaneously moving his own face closer to hers so he could kiss her to shut her mouth.

Noticing what he was going to do, Moka started shaking her head to the right and left to avoid him, but he in accordance to that, he strengthened his grip on her chin, stopping her movements and placing her in the right position for the kiss. Then, understanding that it was impossible to escape it under those conditions, Moka closed her eyes tightly, waiting for the upcoming kiss and losing every possible hope that she was holding in her heart until that point.

''So, that's how it ends? I'm going to get raped and who knows what else will happen to me afterwards. And even if by any chance I succeed on returning back home, I would never be able to face Tsukune again. I will be a sullied woman. I won't have the right to stand beside him.'' Moka thought, tightening her eyelids as a sign of despair. ''Why did this have to happen to me? Why now? We are in our 2nd year, our club is doing fine, having many achievements due to our hard work and our friendship seems to strengthen up more by the day… So why did this have to happen? I never did anything bad to anyone. I always tried to be a good girl and polite to everyone. What mistake have I committed to deserve this? Am I really so unfortunate…?''

Like this, Moka continued questioning herself, cursing also her fate in the process while waiting for the unavoidable. But unknowingly to her then; her luck was bound to change drastically in the upcoming seconds.

*Hptk* (Sound of a hard object hitting something)

When Hiro was a hair's breadth from making contact with her lips, a small rock flew with force right on the back of his head, disrupting his movements before he locks lips with Moka. That moment, feeling the pain from the hit, Hiro made an attempt to turn his face to his back to see who threw the rock, but before he has the chance to complete it…

*Hptk**Hptk*

…two other small rocks flew past his left and right, hitting as a result his two friends right on their foreheads.

Something that forced them both to lose their balance momentarily and loosen their grasp on Moka, giving her the opportunity to cast them off her and escape their hold. Following that, she jumped away from them, starting running like crazy towards a random direction the second she landed without thinking to stay to see who or what saved her because of the great psychological shock she had experienced.

As for Hiro and his friends; they were standing currently still at their spots, staring extremely angry at the source of their plan's failure, or more specifically, a young man with not so short, spiky, orange hair, wearing a white t-shirt with a long horizontal red line across the chest area, dark green jeans and brown shoes..

''Who the hell are you?'' Hiro asked the young man in a hostile tone.

''Sorry, but I'm not so fond of giving my name to punks like yourselves. In addition, even if I were to tell it to you, I highly doubt that you will remember it after a few minutes.'' The young man answered to him with a smirk full of confidence. ''Raping women is not exactly the best thing for a man to do and people who have the delusion that they can do whatever they want to others just because they are a little stronger than them seriously get on my nerves. So, I think I need to teach you assholes a little lesson about the proper behavior you ought to show towards a lady.''

''We will see about that!'' Hiro claimed to him, scowling and turning to his friends. ''Go and crush him.''

''Yeah!'' They agreed simultaneously and charged without wasting a second against the young man.

''Hoo…! Two versus one? That's quite unfair…!'' The young man commented sarcastically, watching them coming at him. ''…But in any case, it's more fun this way.'' He added whispering to himself with an amused expression.

Then, when the two attackers reached close to him, the first one began his assault by trying to punch him in the face. A move the orange-haired man managed to read beforehand and ducked, dodging the strike and counter-attacking with a punch of his own under the chin of his opponent, followed next by a swift kick in his face with the help of a high jump. For the end, the first attacker fell on the ground, having earned two large bruises down and right of his face.

The second one now; after witnessing that sight, he thought to use a different tactic, so instead of aiming for a punch, he tried to stab the young man between his right ribs with his knife. But once again, he noticed him just in time and drew back his right side swiftly, letting the knife pass next to him and hitting his opponent on the back of his head with his left elbow while at the same time his left knee jabbed his gut… With that, the second attacker fell too on the ground, earning himself a large bruise on the back of his head and a deep swelling on his stomach.

''Was that all? How disappointing! You guys bark more than you can bite.'' The young man claimed, watching them whining from pain, holding their injured areas.

But the fight was far from over… When he least expected it, a quick step was heard behind him and before he had the chance to act, Hiro wrapped his arms around his neck, trying to choke him.

''You're… a sneaky one…aren't you?'' The young man asked Hiro with a bit of a difficulty in his speech, rolling his eyes to their upper right side.

''Anything to win! In a real fight it doesn't matter how capable you are, but if you can knock out your opponent before he does that to you first. It's common sense to aim for when he is open.'' Hiro answered to him, tightening his lock around his opponent's neck.

''I have… to agree… on the last part.'' The young man replied to him and without further ado, he elbowed hard Hiro's right ribs with his right elbow, causing to him extreme pain.

A wise move that forced Hiro to releases his lock, setting him free.

''AAAHHH!'' Hiro screamed painfully, holding his ribs tightly with both his hands.

''It's as you said. If you need to win, you have to aim for openings. And you my friend, are full of them.'' The young man pointed and not having any intention of letting him rest, he charged at Hiro, crashing roughly his right fist in his gut.

That resulted in multiplying Hiro's injured areas and forcing him to do a slight bow. For the end, the young man jumped and crashed his hands, entangled into a big fist, on the top of Hiro' head, causing him to follow his companions on the ground.

''Seems you aren't just trash in character, but also in fighting. I would have a harder time fighting a preschooler than you. But we haven't finished yet. The lesson is far from over'' The young man claimed to them, frowning.

After that, he continued beating them to a pulp to engrave some proper manners into their heads.

*Hpftt* *Dup* *Hftkk* *Crack* *Hpftt* (A variety of sounds you hear during a fight)

[15 minutes later.]

Some minutes passed since that point and after a session of intense beating, the young man stopped at last and looked at them with a satisfied expression... Or at least what was left from them, considering that at the moment they were laid on the ground unconscious with their faces full of bruises.

''This will teach them to not mess with the ladies.'' The young man murmured to himself and next turned his face to the direction where Moka had escaped. ''That girl must have been pretty scared to run like that. Lucky for her, these punks won't bother her again.''

With those as his last words and realizing that his business there was over, the young man took a glimpse of his wristwatch to see what time it was and noticing that it was getting late, he left, heading towards his house.

[4 hours later – Night - Inside another alley, but not as narrow as the previous one and with not any high buildings around it.]

After that hellish experience she had thanks to those punks, Moka was sitting now on a small, broken oven that was in the middle of some garbage bags, looking quite worn out.

''I think, I'm going to faint. My legs are killing me and my head is spinning non-stop. I feel awful!'' Moka whined, holding her head with her right hand.

''That's expected. You still haven't eaten anything except that one bite of that sandwich and in addition, you ran l so intensively to escape those bastards. You have spent a lot of energy.''

''This world is terrible! We may be real monsters back home, but the residents here are even worse despite being humans. I will never forgive them for what they tried doing to me.''

''I'm with you on that, but to be fair, don't forget the incident with Saizo back in our world. Horny punks exist everywhere. The difference is that then you were able to unseal me with Tsukune's help and I took care of him before he made you his plaything.''

''You are right... It's all thanks to Tsukune…'' Moka murmured melancholically and raised her face up, gazing upon the night sky. ''I wonder what he is doing right now… The girls too… Could they be trying to get me back?''

''Knowing them, that's probably what they are doing. At least if it's day time there. There's always a chance for the time here and the time back home to be different.''

''I want to see them. I miss them so much.''

''You will, just be patient. It's still our first day in this world and we have no idea yet if there is something we can use to return back. We will start searching by the time the sun rises and with a little luck we may be able to discover something tomorrow or in one of the following days. So, don't be hasty to get depressed. You have to stay strong and keep your hopes up to move forward…'' Inner Moka advised her, trying to cheer her up.

*Growl*

''…But in the meantime, you certainly need to find something to eat. I can't have you collapsing in this dirty alley. It's disgusting!''

''Yes… My God, I'm so hungry!'' Moka whined in a low tone, rubbing her stomach with her left hand.

''Me too...'' A creepy voice was heard without a warning behind her.

Hearing it, Moka jumped in a flash away from the oven and turned backwards to face the one who spoke. There, she witnessed to her great shock a rather big, purple, muscular humanoid creature with a hole in its chest, having a scary, white mask for a head and two deep black eyes with yellow pupils that were glued on her.

''Who… What… are you…? I thought there weren't any monsters in this world.'' Moka asked it, muttering terrified.

''I'm hungry... Huunngggrryyyy…!'' The monster responded to her, suggesting that it really didn't pay any attention to her question.

''This thing seems like it's not exactly the smartest brain around here. Sorry for having to ask of you this despite your condition, but I think it would be wise to start running again. From what I'm deducing, it is as hungry as you if not more and I highly doubt that something as small as a sandwich would be quite sufficient for its case... If you get what I mean...''

''Yes! I understand. '' Moka replied to her and following her other half's suggestion, she started walking slowly backwards to not provoke it and reach a point where she would have the leisure to run away without being inside its attack range.

Unfortunately, this wouldn't be as easy as she hoped. When the creature noticed her movements, it opened its mouth widely, making an angry expression with its mask.

''I'M HUNNGRYYY…!'' It howled, jumping towards Moka with the intension of biting her head off.

''RUN!'' Inner Moka shouted at her outer half, watching this.

''WAAA…'' Moka screamed in panic and made a reversal, starting running like she had never run before in her entire life.

From there on, a wild fox hunt took place between them with Moka running towards random directions and passing between buildings, trees, parks and whatever else she met in her way with the hope that the creature would lose her. But, for some bizarre reason the creature could always pinpoint her position, continuing like this its chase.

[30 minutes later - Across an empty road.]

After a long and exhausting run, Moka was currently panting, walking with difficulty since she had reached her endurance's limit. Something that didn't apply the creature looked completely fine, approaching her steadily from some meters away to her back.

''WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! Keep it up! If you don't, that thing will eat you alive.'' Inner Moka shouted at her other half desperately.

''I... can't…. I… have… no strength…left…'' Moka replied to her with a weak voice, sweating bullets.

''But you can't give up now. If you do so, you will never be able to meet again with the others. You will never see Tsukune again.'' Inner Moka pointed to her, wishing to give her a good reason to hold up.

''I know… but… I just…can't…'' Moka replied to her the same way as before and with no remaining strength to support her legs, she lost her balance and fell on the ground. ''Soorryyy…'' She whispered a few seconds before she hits the ground and loses her consciousness.

''SHIT!'' Inner Moka cursed because of this hopeless development. ''All this running here and there and the fact that she hasn't eaten a single thing for so many hours must have dried her out. Not to mention that on top of that, she hasn't sucked any blood during the entire day. At this rate, this creep will devour her... I have to do something. But what?! DAMN IT! If only I wasn't sealed, I could…''

That moment, before she managed to finish her speech, the creature reached Moka's unconscious body and stood above her with his jaws opened, drops of drool leaking outside of it and splashing on the ground.

''HUUUNNGGRRYYY…'' It howled once again, staring at Moka.

''You've got to be joking! This is absurd! I, a proud royal vampire, am about to become the dinner of a lowly and ugly creature like this one… Hey God! If you really exist, do something about this unfairness. And do it quickly.'' Inner Moka demanded, growling.

On the other hand, the creature being unable to retrain itself anymore, decided that it was dinner time, so it opened its jaws to their limits and started lowering its head slowly to have the first bite of its newfound meal.

*Hstt*(Sound of a slash)

Then and before it could reach Moka's body with its teeth, a long vertical slash appeared from its head moving to its bottom and splitting it as a result into two. Following that, its body started disintegrating to black bits of energy, flowing in the air and disappearing periodically. A sight that firstly looked like Inner Moka's plead to God was really answered, but to her surprise, when the black bits of energy cleared up, they revealed a young man standing a few inches away from the spot of the now destroyed creature, who surely didn't look like he was God Himself.

He had not too short, spiky, orange hair and was wearing a black kimono with white interior and a black, metallic choker around his neck with three white horizontal lines on it. Two across the outline's area and one in the middle that split the choker into two parts and merged with the others at the front. The choker also had a small gap in the middle of its front side that left a part of his neck uncovered. Other than those, he had a red chain wrapped diagonally from his right shoulder to his left rear, a black leather X that was attached to his kimono covering his chest, two other similar leather Xs with white outlines covering each of his wrists, a white loincloth belt around his waist, white socks and straw sandals. For the end, he was holding a large blade that looked like cleaver. Its guard was a small white ring, the hilt a black metal stick and its pommel, a white cylinder.

''Who the hell is he?'' Inner Moka wondered, but before she had the chance to take in all the facts, another unknown person landed beside him, descending from the sky.

That one was a short girl with black, straight hair to her head's length with a forelock that covered a small part of her face and wearing pretty much the same clothes as the man except the choker, the Xs and the chain. Instead of those, she had a white loincloth wrapped around her left arm, which had a wooden badge attached to it with the word –Lieutenant- written on it in black letters. She carried a sheathed katana on the left of her belt, which consisted of a square guard to the wood's color, a red hilt and a classic pommel the same color as the guard.

Next, being quite curious about their identities and what kind of business they had there, Inner Moka concentrated her hearing and mind as much as she could to hear something they started discussing about right after the girl approached the man, hoping to learn any new information about that world.

''That was close.'' The man commented to the girl with a relieved expression. ''A little more and that blockhead would have eaten a person.''

''And you are lucky it didn't. If it had, you would have been in serious troubles... YOU DUMBASS…! How many times have I told you that you must exterminate the Hollows the moment you see them? Huh?! If you let them escape, this is what happens.'' The girl scolded him in an irritated tone.

''Hey! It's not only my fault! It's true that the one who I lost it in the first place was me, but the reason we had difficulties to track it since then was that stupid Hollow-Detector you have. I mean… how many years have you been using it? Can't you release that it passed its expiring date? It's about time you get a new one.'' The man replied to her, also in an irritated tone.

''That's what you think! My Hollow-Detector works just fine. And you don't have to make so much of a big deal that it happened to be wrong a few times.'' The girl replied to him, to her gadget's defense.

''More like a hundred times, I say. I could detect them faster with just some concentration on sensing their reiatsu.''

''If that's the case, try that next time and when you fail, don't come crying to me because I and my Hollow-Detector are out of service for you from this moment on.'' The girl stated to him in a stubborn tone.

''Like I would!'' The man claimed in the same way and turned to the opposite direction with his arms crossed in front of his chest.

In the meantime, while this childish argument was taking place between the two of them, Inner Moka was still spying on them from inside the rosary, feeling completely lost and a bit astonished from their words.

''Seriously now! Who are they? Some comedian-warriors in black clothing? And what were all these things about Hollows, reiatsu and other stuff? Something weird is happening in this world and we must discover it if we want to survive here.'' Inner Moka concluded after working in what she heard.

''Anyway, we better do something about this person it tried to attack and make sure that she isn't hurt.'' The girl suggested to him by pointing at Moka with her right index finger.

''Fine! Whatever you say…'' The man answered to her indifferently and started approaching Moka's body together with his short female companion.

''I don't know who or what these guys are, but I seriously hope they don't do anything funny to our body. We can't counter attack right now, so we are at their mercy... My goodness! I so hate being helpless.'' Inner Moka murmured half worried-half frustrated.

''Seems like she fainted.'' The girl commented reaching Moka and taking a closer look at her state.

''You think it may be because of her fear?''

''Don't be a fool. Normal humans can't see Hollows. You know that already. It must be something else.'' The girl replied in a lecturing tone.

''Like what…?'' The man asked her again puzzled, but that moment he too got a better look at the girl, goggling amazed by coming into a realization. ''…Wait a minute! I have seen this girl before.''

''Huh? Does this means that she is one of your human acquaintances, Ichigo?"

''Not exactly… But if I remember right, she is the one that those street punks I told you tried to rape.''

''So, she is the one…?'' The girl questioned, taking a compassionate expression while staring at Moka. ''Poor girl... I'm sure that was a terrible experience for her. I hope this doesn't leave her any psychological wounds.'' She added, lowering her eyelids.

Next, her expression changed to a furious one and she raised her right fist in the air, gritting her teeth.

''Those cowards! If I had them in front of me at the moment, I would show them how Hell looks like.'' She claimed agitated.

''You don't have to worry about that. I took care of them for good. I doubt that they will try doing something of that sort ever again. Or more specifically, I doubt they will try doing anything for some time. I made sure to teach them a good lesson which will take them a long time to forget… Both mentally and physically.'' Ichigo replied to her with a satisfied grin.

''Heh! I have to admit it. You may be a klutz when it comes to your work, but I'm really proud of your sense of justice, Ichigo.'' The girl praised him, patting his back.

''Thanks!'' Ichigo replied with a smile, but bringing in his mind the first part of her sentence a second later, he scowled. ''HEY! Did you just called be a klutz?'' He asked her aggrieved.

''Don't let the small details bother you... And in any case, we have to find a way to deal with this girl here.'' The girl pointed skeptically.

''What do you mean? What else can we do for her?'' Ichigo asked her curiously.

''Firstly, move away from here. We can't leave her laid on the road as she is. It would be really unhealthy and totally dangerous.'' The girl answered to him in a serious tone.

''Alright! So, where are you suggesting we should we take her? We don't know who she is or where she lives.''

''Then, we just have to find out. We will search her clothes and I'm sure she will have something that will give us a clue about her identity.''

''Sounds good!'' Ichigo commented and bent over Moka. ''Now… From where should I begin…'' He murmured, scanning Moka's body with his eyes while moving his hands closer to her.

But his attempt to touch was destined to be proved unsuccessful. A little before he touched her, a strong flying kick landed on the left of his face, sending him flying two meters away.

''WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT FOR?! ARE YOU CRAZY?!'' Ichigo shouted mad, facing her and holding the part where her foot landed.

''RIGHT BACK AT YOU! WHAT WERE YOU TRYING TO DO JUST NOW?''

''WHAT? TO SEARCH HER OF COURSE! DIDN'T YOU SAY THAT WE MUST DO THAT TO LEARN WHO SHE IS AND WHERE SHE LIVES?''

''I DID, BUT I NEVER SAID THAT THE ONE WHO HAD TO DO WAS YOU!''

''WHY? WHAT'S THE PROBLEM IF IT'S ME?''

''DOES THE FACT THAT YOU ARE MAN, RINGS A BELL TO YOU? SHE IS A YOUNG WOMAN. AS AN UNKNOWN MAN TO HER, YOU SHOULDN'T TOUCH HER SO CASUALLY. TRY BEING A LITTLE MODEST FROM TIME TO TIME!''

''WELL SORRY, BUT I WAS ONLY FOLLOWING YOUR OWN SUGGESTION. AND IF YOU ARE SO OBSESSED WITH THE ETIQUETTE, DO IT YOURSELF THEN.''

''THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I WAS PLANNING ON DOING FROM THE BEGINNING.'' The girl shouted at him and bent over Moka, starting searching her clothes for any useful paper that would help them identify her.

Unfortunately for her, the unconscious girl didn't have anything like this on her. From the look of things, it wasn't only her keys that Moka carried in her school bag, but also all her papers.

''Well?'' Ichigo asked the girl coming closer to her since he noticed that she had finished the searching, but still maintaining an angry expression due to the fact that that she had kicked him.

''Nothing... The only thing I managed to find was some strange money, but other than this, nothing.'' The girl informed him, showing to him Moka's money.

''Seems we hit a `rock` with her. What we are going to do now?"

''Beat me! But the only sure thing is that we can't let her stay here.'' The girl answered to him troubled.

''I think we should take her to the police. They will know what to do better than us and they might be able to contact her parents or something.'' Ichigo suggested, scrubbing his chin with his left hand.

''An unconscious girl who is floating in the air, approaching the police station. I'm sure the cops are going to find it completely normal and take her in immediately.'' The girl replied to him sarcastically.

''Then, what are you suggesting we do? Oh Mighty Wiseman!'' Ichigo asked her the same way.

''Well…'' The girl started saying after kicking him on the shank because of his annoying comment. ''…The only option we have left is to take her to someone else's house for the meantime and wait until she wakes up to ask her for information, personally. What do you say?''

''I don't know. Are you sure?'' Ichigo asked her, rubbing his shank to ease the pain from her kick.

''Yeah! Unless you have something better in your mind.''

''No! Let's go with that.'' Ichigo replied, agreeing with her. ''So, whose house should we take her to?''

''Hmm… Ishida's house has his crazy father and Chad's it's not exactly the perfect place for a girl, so they are out of the question…'' The girl murmured to herself thoughtfully, walking slowly in circles.

''Why did you start with them? Wouldn't it be more logical to start with Inoue?''

''True! But Orihime won't be at her home tonight, so we can't take this girl there.''

''Huh?! Why is that?''

''Today I overheard Rangiku-san talking to her on the phone and inviting her to a -Ladies' Night- as she called it.'' The girl explained to him. ''Damn her! She said nothing to me. Does she think that I'm not enough of lady to take part in this kind of stuff?'' She added, questioning to herself with an irritated look on her face.

''Is that so?'' Ichigo asked her, sweat dropping after witnessing her reaction. ''That leaves us no other choice but that lunatic's shop. Not that I feel so comfortable to leave her there, but there is no other place to take her.''

''I'm surprised you aren't aware of that, but unfortunately, Urahara's shop is closed for some days now. I don't know the details, but he was called by Soul Society to help with a very important project and he took Tessai and the kids with him as helpers, so curently there is no one there.''

''Ah! Great! Just great! If that's the case, where are we going to take her?'' Ichigo asked her, frowning.

''To tell you the truth, there is still a place we didn't mention yet and it's not so bad… No! Rather than –not so bad-, I would say that it's perfect for our purpose.''

''And which is that?''

''Oh, don't tell me that you can't imagine in the least what I'm thinking, Ichigo? It's not so hard.'' The girl asked him, smirking deviously.

''Sorry, but I don't have such a wild imagination to match yours.''

''You really are such a dull guy…! Just think it a bit. If we can't take her to Inoue's, or Ishida's, or Chad's, or even Urahara's place… Which is the only other place we know and is left?''

''Well… If you put all these away, the only place that's left is m…'' Ichigo started saying, but then his eyes suddenly went wide and he began sweating upon realizing what she meant. ''Hey! Hold on a second! You can't possibly mean…''

''…Yup! That's exactly what I mean.'' The girl replied to him joyfully with a sinister smile.

''DAMN! You've got to be kidding me!'' Ichigo cursed desperately, smacking his left hand on his face.

He had deduced that his life had started returning back to normal after the incident with Ginjo, but here he was with a new problem in his hands. A problem that unknowingly to him yet was destined to shake his entire inner world.

A/N: That was all for now, guys! This is my first fanfic and I hope you enjoyed it.

1: I tried my best in writing it and I would really like to read your reviews on it. I welcome every type. Good and strict. The good ones give me power to continue and the strict ones point my mistakes so that I won't make them again (But if you can, please keep the strict ones at a certain level and don't overdo it).

2: Also, I welcome every one of your ideas or suggestions and if I can merge them in my story, I will seriously think about adding them in it.

3: To action and romance fans; I would like to explain to you that the reason I didn't add too much development in this chapter, is the fact that it's the first one and works mostly as an introduction to the story. As my series progress, you will read many things that I'm positive you will like.

4: Finally, sorry if I made some grammar mistakes in the description of Ichigo and Rukia or somewhere else, but, well my English are not so good. But I won't let it discourage me and I will continue doing my best to improve my weaknesses.

So, until next time… Be well and love Japan. Ja'ne!

Next chapter: Meet the Kurosaki Family.

[Re-written, re-corrected and re-updated in 3/5 /2014. Due to my lack of perfect knowledge in English, a few of my early chaps need some fixing, so I finally decided to start upgrading them at the level of my current, more well written chaps. That's why, if you happen to read an early chapter that looks a bit off concerning some aspects, you don't have to worry because as you proceed to my next chaps, the content and the text will start looking better and better.]
