Blood and Breath (Inner Moka X Dragon Boy)

Ch 24 - Watch Your Tounge

Needing blood for the ritual and Kahlua the Kardashian of the Shuzen family giving you a test to see if she can seduce you, now you are faced with everything all coming together. Being a nervous wreck won't help. Anyone for that matter. But either way it's time. She needs you.

Enjoy.

The two things I will never forget is that in my life are the events that were forever going to change my life. I had a good amount of time when I got here but glad on this decision. The things that occasionally bother me.

Number one. The day my mother died. The blood that I saw as she told me to run like hell. Not even bothering to look back. Eyes closed just running like a bull was charging me. From then the foster took me in and arriving at Yokai I knew I couldn't come back. Leaving knowing that I had to find a friend of some kind to understand that both of my parents were dead. And that the foster care in the human world didn't want a guy in my caliber. Not one to talk and one who knew their actual parents. Funny. I was told I might possibly have a sister too. A bit older on my father's side. Maybe if she was nice I could work something out with her. Better than watching new faces and being afriad to say hello because you may not see them next week.

I guess that's all past now. I just can't believe that so many people are accepting and I can fly, breath, and nurture how I please. Really all thanks to Moka. That silver hair, red eye, husky voiced woman who can kick your ass and giggle afterwards to tell you she loves you. Violent mind you but good to me.

"Hey (FN) you alright over there?" Called a voice.

You snapped out of it. Kahlua saw you space out. "Oh. Sorry. Just my head isn't right at the moment. So much going on."

"I know. Tell me something. What happens when you turn into a Dragon?"

"Well..." Closing your eyes you feel your wings spread. Kahlua has her eyes grow wide at the look of it. You open your eyes and control your breathing. "This is Stage 1. If I don't control my emotions, this stage grows into stage 1.5 so I call it and gradually after I grow claws and scales I become a Dragon. I scratch rocks, I breath flames, and honestly I have little control over it. I guess you can say my top form is an alter ego."

Kahlua stood there. Trying to process all of this. "You have teeth?"

"That can chew metal."

"How do you have a soft spot then?"

"You have to care about the few people you have. By any means. Moka thought these two girls I had a thing for me. Got slapped but here we are. I love her. Hope that this is a success and they can live independently and be the best of friends."

"Well I think more than that if I'm not mistaken."

"What do you mean Kahlua?"

"The Phantom."

"Got it. Say no more." You turn your head. "I know."

"Let's get on with it. I'm pretty sure you're almost as scared as her. Pick the brightest red roses you can. A dozen. I have the other boy instructed to pick a dozen white. Moka will have the rosary on. Hope blood isn't an issue for you."

"Kinda. Still rather uncomfortable about the whole thing."

"Lord Issa doesn't want a weak companion for his daughter."

"Who's the favorite. Akua I'm guessing?"

"Hard to tell. Moka got to decide things on her own, Akua is very strong mind and body and is pretty dangerous. Can give Moka a hard time in hand to hand. Then he gives me what I want. Kokoa not so much."

"Geez. Poor Strawberry."

"Sore subject. She's my only full sister. Not half. But the red head once again finishes last."

You quietly pick the roses and wrap them nicely. Thank goodness it was easy to choose good flowers. The garden was something you would see in a magazine or some photo people would pay good money for. Although that time you wanted to buy was about to be up. Time was going by slowly and not in a good way. The way the nerves made you tense, cringe, and skin crawl in weird directions. Just awful.

~~~~~

At last it was Akua that greeted you at a door inside the castle with Kahlua behind you. She showed little emotion which bothered you. Not scared, angry, or on guard. Just blank. Hollow rather.

"Good. The others are downstairs. We shall slowly start."

The basement I guess you can call it was dark. Soft lighting and not in a good way. You can only see Moka with pink hair and seems unconscious. She was laid out on a table. This was starting to become less of a basement and more of a mad scientist room. By the minute too.

"Greetings (FN)." Introducing Issa. "I see you have the roses. Tsukune did his part. Now it is your turn." Looking over to him he's scared. Can watch. Kurumu is clinging to his left arm. Mizore on her right as Yukari is squeezing Tsukune from the front simply because she can't watch. "Come forth." You step forward and hand him the roses and try to keep calm. "Now left wrist."

Shit. Oh God. Issa does have a dagger in his hand. But Kahlua did say a sample. A small cut from the wrist just enough to drip on the roses then another light comes on. A separate table next to the one Moka is laying on. "Dear Lord help."

"Stop shaking. You're doing fine."

"Yes sir."

The roses were now being held by Moka as the white ones with Tsukune's blood on the table. Ash sprinkled on both the boutiques.

"Now gentleman. I need both of you to grab the rosary. But do not pull just yet. Repeat after me."

You close your eyes and begin the ritual. "For here I pass on and give permission. To have half of the body I love to be with someone she loves. To have my blood spill in sacrifice. It is unknown what may unfold. But no matter the impact I am here."

*Cling*

Bats begin the be heard from all around the room as two massive auras colors white and pink begin the blind everyone in the room. Their is a wind that is blowing everything around in circles. The energy is creating a gust that was a fear for anyonebthat wore a skirt. Issa and Akua just looked away and stood there while Kahlua was holding onto her dress.

It took a minute for the air to stay still. The lighting was back to normal. But there was two Mokas. Holding roses. Issa ran to both girls. Zero movement. This shocked him.

"I..... I'm sorry." He looked away.

"No..... This can't. No!...... NO! NO MOKA!" The tears fell. You couldn't feel it because you were so numb. But scales start to show on your back. Nails turning into black claws. Eyes turning into a light solid blue. Wings deployed.

Kahlua started to cry as she jumped on your back. "Please. Give it time. I promise."

You couldn't hear a word. The Dragon DNA inside of you couldn't process anybody this. Not a word. Just a roar that echoed.

Akua stood in front of her father and the bodies waiting to be woken. If they would ever that is. Akua shook her head and got into her fighting stance. "I'm sorry for your loss. But I'm not sorry that I might have to kill you."
