Rane regained consciousness shortly after the rider's powers wore off. He stood up feeling groggy and his body was honestly telling him that he shouldn't move but he kept going until he stood straight on his two feet.
Moka: Dammit Rane! Are you getting control over that thing or not?
Rane: What makes you think I was getting any control?
Moka: Because one time you're focused on who you want but this time after the lizards were done for you came at me!
Rane: Well sorry why do you think I try to keep the rider in. But this place just makes him pop put one time after another!
Moka started to get aggravated at Rane. She knew he had some kind of control but Rane refused to see it. This made her so mad that she grabbed Rane by his shirt and lifted him off the ground.
Moka: You know I thought you were more than a normal human. But I guess you're just waiting for that thing inside you to make you a slave.
Rane: Say that again.
Rane's calm voice couldn't hide the boiling rage within him, partially because his body was beginning to smoke.
Moka: You wanna fight me?
Rane: I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to shut you up.
Moka: Hmph well then how about this. You learn to control the rider and you and me can go toe to toe with each other.
Rane: You say that like it's going to he easy.
Moka: It probably won't but motivation never hurt.
Moka put Rane down before grabbing her rosary and putting it back around her neck. A pink light shined as Moka changed back to her original form.
Moka: Why are you staring at me like that?
Rane didn't mean to stare but Moka's other half left a lasting impression that kept him in that position. It didn't take him long to snap out of it though.
Rane: Don't worry about it. How's Yukari?
Yukari: I'm fine and THAT WAS AWESOME!
Rane: Didn't I tell you not to look?
Yukari: Yeah but then I heard a bunch of screaming so I took a peak. Are you mad?
Rane let out a sigh while burying his face in the palm of his hand.
Rane: No I'm fine.
Yukari's face lit up with a smile as she ran and hugged Rane.
Yukari: You are the coolest guy ever! I think I might have fallen in love.
Moka: Yukari don't talk like that!
Yukari: Don't worry Moka I still love you too. We should totally have a threesome.
Rane: You shouldn't even know what that is. What the hell?
They all ended up laughing and went on with their day. As for the lizards they went to the nurse like every one of the rider's victims. A few days later the school hosted a fair. It was a time for the many clubs to try and attract members to join and all students attended including Rane and his friends. They walked around the fair looking at the various clubs that they could join.
Moka: So you see anything interesting?
Rane: Nothing really. I'm not really into clubs.
Kurumu: Well none of these clubs are good enough for me anyway.
Yukari: Didn't know bimbos had such high standards
Kurumu: WHAT DID YOU SAY YOU LITTLE TWERP!!!
Rane: Can you two stop fighting?
The two of them grunted and turned away from each other. Their constant arguing with each other did nothing more than give Rane a headache. He needed to find a club that could help him relax, something soothing.
Girl 1: HELLO!!!
Rane: Hmm? What?
Girl 2: Hi there. Would you like to join the swimming club?
Rane:Swimming club?
Tamao: Excuse my members for being rash. You see we have no male members in the swimming club.
Her voice was sweet and soothing and Rane turned to see the beautiful woman in a bikini that stood before him.
Tamao: My name is Tamao Ichinose. You're Rane correct?
Rane: Um yeah
Moka: Can we help you?
Tamao: Well like my other members tried to do, we would very much like it if you joined our swimming club.
Moka: I think he'll pass
Rane: Huh? Why?
Moka: Wait you actually want to do this?
Rane: Yeah I need something relaxing. We can all join.
Moka: Rane I don't have a good feeling about these girls.
Rane: Oh I'm sure it's nothing.
Tamao: So will you join us?
Rane: Sign me up
Moka let put a heavy sigh as she hung her head. She couldn't shake the feeling that something wasn't right.
Moka: I'll sign up to.
Tamao: Great it will be a pleasure to have you both.
Later that day they went to their first meeting. It was a somewhat normal day. Rane was swimming with the other members, Kurumu was showing off her breasts in a swimsuit and Yukari was trying to get rid of Kurumu. The only one not have fun was Moka. She simply sat over by the fence barely moving a muscle and definitely not going anywhere near the water. Rane saw the depressed look on her face and went over to her to see what was wrong.
Rane: Not feeling up to a swim?
Moka: No.
Rane: Why not? It's nice out, the water is warm, everyone is having fun.
Moka: I know and you should go back to it. I'll just be here.
Rane: Moka are you sure?
Moka: Yeah don't let me ruin your fun.
It was pretty obvious that something was wrong with her but Rane couldn't tell what. But as long as she wasn't hurt in anyway I guess it's something that could be figured out later. He went back inside the pool where he met Tamao.
Tamao: Are you enjoying yourself Rane?
Rane: Never better. The water feels amazing.
Tamao: But I don't see you actually swimming.
Rane: Oh um....I sorta don't know how.
Tamao: Why didn't you ask? I can teach you.
Tamao moved behind Rane, a little too fast for her to be walking in water. She took his arms and helped him mimic the motion of paddling.
Tamao: That's it well done.
Rane: Thanks you're a good teacher.
Tamao: Mmmm and you're a good student.
Rane started blushing thinking that her moan might've meant something on a more personal level. It made him nervous but the scene changed quickly before it could actually run through his mind. There was a scream throughout the pool, and another soon after. All of them were male screams and as Rane saw the origin of the howls of pain he saw the club memeber students biting into the students and draining them dry of their life force.
Rane:I'm starting to get why you don't have any male members.
Tamao: Oh dear was it that obvious.
Rane: Just wish I couldn't have seen it sooner.
Tamao: And now it's too late.
Rane turned his head enough to see her mouth open beyond the length of her lips and her horrifying, gruesome, and sharp teeth into his shoulders. Rane's painful scream caught Moka's attention who was previously absorbed with all of the other chaotic things taking place.
Moka: RANE!!
She ran to him holding out her hand praying that Rane would grab it. Sadly he did and Moka was dragged under water into the deep end of the pool. As they were under there Rane saw Moka. He saw her in pain, as if she was growing weaker and that's when Rane realized it. He thought to himself "Goddammit I'm an idiot! She's a vampire, water hurts her and I didn't realize it." He looked at Moka's chest seeing the rosary around her neck and Rane continued to think, "I don't know if I have any control over this thing but there is one thing I do know." He turned his head again facing Tamao but this time his face was burning.
Rane: I'M MAD!!!!!
He blazed with fire as the rider took form and the heat on his body burned Tamao's mouth forcing her to let him go. With her off of him the Ghost Rider looked at Moka who had her eyes wide open looking deep his.
Ghost rider: Innocent
Moka probably didn't hear that because they were underwater but it didn't matter. The rider took her in one arm and with his chain he swung it to the outside of a pole and pulled the two of them out in an instant. With Moka in safe hands the rider looked among all the mermaids in the water, especially Tamao as she rise from the servace.
Ghost Rider: Fire and water don't mix!
