Amity to vampire

Chapter 4: exception

Moka ran to the girls' restroom, bursting into the empty lavatories. Her breathe was heavy in her chest as she supports herself on the edge of the sink. Swallowing a gasp she opens the faucets to their maximum.

"No…"

She sobbed. Her long pink locks cascaded over her features, hiding her tears as they flowed freely down her cheeks. After a time she slowly glances up at the mirror. The bright white lights do little to hide the tear stains that now marked her reddened cheeks.

"Why does he want to leave?"

She expected an answer but the only level-headed voice in the matter was silent. Moka looked down to the silver Rosary on her chest. Pulling back the lapels of her school jacket she calls to it.

"Why does Tsukune want to leave?"

The Rosary's red eye stayed closed, the voice: ever silent. Moka chocked back a sob when it did not answer her.

"Why?!"

The vampire nearly shrieked as she grabbed the silver seal and pulled at it with force. She slowly slips down to her knees, her head sunk low. The only sounds between the walls of the room were Moka's empty sobs.

The others sat in the silence of the Clubroom. Tsukune stood by the room's windows, staring off into the sunset. The deep red rays of the sun bled across the blue skies, cutting over the Graveyard. The dark hue caused the tombstones to give off a warm, crimson light. After Moka's outbursts, it seemed no one was willing to ask Tsukune about his changing schools. Kurumu and Mizore sat arm to arm at their seats. Kokoa had relocated herself elsewhere, having lost patience with the others. Yukari sat with her legs curled underneath her on her seat. She looked down to her hands, which were crossed on her lap. Gin sat with his legs propped up on the desk, a white bandage adorning his forehead. The werewolf ran his hand through his hair, brushing against the red band that holds back his short locks.

"So what's the deal with transferring, Youkai Academy not good enough for you?"

Gin spoke up, finally having lost the will to stay quiet about the situation any longer. Tsukune looks up and turns to face the older boy who properly sat himself up in his seat, a weary look on his usual clam, gentle features. Tsukune gave a soft smile and shook his head.

"It isn't that, I love the academy, really it's great! I'm getting good grades, and have learned a lot, it's just that…"

Tsukune placed his hand on his chest. He looks to the group.

"My parents want me to come over this weekend to talk about things, I really haven't decided anything, but they are really adamant about me going to a better known school."

Gin chuckled, the girls looking to the upperclassmen.

"Yeah, that's rough, parents. They're right though, you can't go getting any good human jobs if you don't go through renowned, respected schools."

Gin leaned back and sighed.

"It isn't like that…"

Tsukune tried to meekly argue. Gin laughed out.

"Come on, what other reason is there, you said it yourself, you're doing good right? Why not just tell them you're fine?"

Tsukune didn't know what to say to Gin's words. He was right, all he had to do was say no, but could he be that type of person.

"How could you say that Gin-senpai?! Don't you understand Tsukune at all!? Did you forget he is a human? He would be much safer in a human school!"

Came the concerned voice of Kurumu. The succubus had shot from her seat in anger. Her tears were freely flowing from her face. She looked to Tsukune, who was shocked to see the Succubus so…he had never seen her like this. He knew she genuinely cared about him, but really? She was okay with his leaving?

"Kurumu-chan…"

The boy blushed softly. Kurumu smiled, her cheeks dusted red. She brushed the tears from her eyes and clutched her hands against her chest. She gave a warm smile.

"No."

A voice came from behind the others. Standing at the door was Moka, and standing behind her was Kokoa. The young red-headed vampire had wandered off to retrieve her older sister. After finding her on the floor of the washroom, crying, the young vampire scolded the older girl for being 'weak'. She told her that if it was her Inner self she would have done something already, and if she ever expected to be strong again and break her seal she would do something.

The group looks to the pink-haired vampire. Her long hair fell over her shoulders and eyes, the tears from before still evident.

"Moka-san…"

Tsukune furrowed his brows, confused by her reaction. Gin chuckled and turned his head away. She brushed the remaining tears from her eyes and sniffled. Moka crossed her hands in front of her and looked to Tsukune. He felt his heart thud against his chest. Her emerald eyes locked onto his chocolate brown eyes. It felt like only Moka and himself were in the room. She smiled.

"If Tsukune is going to transfer, he should, before it gets too late into the semester."

The group's mouths fell open, as did Kokoa's. For as long as she knew the Outer Moka she did not expect her to ever say that to Tsukune. Tsukune's eyes never left Moka's. The young pink-haired vampire smiled and bowed her head, just before turning to leave the room.

"Moka-san…"

Yukari looks up to the older girl. Her genius mind couldn't comprehend the situation at all. The group was shocked. Tsukune felt as if his heart was torn from his chest. He had never thought that… He chuckled. The group whips around to face the boy.

"Well I'm going to go to my room, pack up a few things before the weekend…"

Tsukune leaves.

"Wait, Tsukune-san!"

Yukari called after him. The young witch looked to the others.

"Why doesn't anyone say anything desku!?"

The others looked away. Kokoa stood outside the room with her arms crossed over her chest.

"Well what is there to say?"

Yukari, Mizore and Kurumu look to the young vampire.

"Onee-chan would never lie."

Kokoa lifted her head with a scoff and walked off down the hall. No one had seen it coming. They knew Tsukune held Moka's opinions in the highest regard, and they had not once thought the vampire would ever agree to his leaving.

The next day Tsukune had made his way to the Board Chairman's office.

"Leaving already…?"

The white garbed individual said with a deeply sinister tone. Tsukune smiled and chuckled nervously as the Exorcist looked over his transfer papers.

"Well my parents think it's in my best interest…"

"And your interest?"

Tsukune lowered his arm and sighed a bit.

"Well it's okay…"

"And what about…?"

Exorcist said, motioning a gloved hand toward the Holy Lock. Tsukune immediately pushed down his unbuttoned sleeve cuffs over the seal.

"Well, I really appreciate everything you have done to help me…but I think everyone would be better off with me making trouble, plus it might be nice to visit home."

Exorcist placed the transfer sheets on the desk and took out a large, black, quill pen.

"Once I sign this…you know there is a chance that you may never come back here, the human world is full of distractions."

The Exorcist grinned. Tsukune hesitated a moment, but nodded.

"It's okay…(After all, Moka-san said it was okay. I don't mind if no one has regrets)."

He thought with a smile as Exorcist signed the sheets.
