Chapter 5

Shorts #1...

The bright and cheerful morning sunshine glared unforgivably through a certain Night Fury's closed eyelids. Groaning, he fought to push himself up and prop his weight on his elbows. Glancing to the left, he saw an adorable vampire snoozing the morning away, a little drool seeping from her pink lips. It was all he could take. The next thing he knew, he was laughing his guts out, causing Moka to wake with a start.

"T-Tsukune! Don't scare me like that!" Moka, still half asleep, forgot she had super strength (even though still sealed) and "playfully" pushed him off the bed, through the doorway, and stopped upside down against the very same counter that had been replaced not two weeks ago. Luckily, the carpet slowed him down enough so little damage was taken by the poor counter.

"Rggg, I think this counter and I are going to have a little.. 'talk'" The dragon pounded his fist into his hand and glared at the counter, and was about to punch the metaphorical daylights out of it until Moka appeared with paper fan, bopping the top of his head.

"Ow! Why'd ya do that?" Moka looked him sternly in the eye and came out with a flat, "No.", pointing the fan at him. Tsukune's shoulders slumped in defeat as he headed off for the bathroom to get ready for school. Giggling noises were heard as he closed the door. "Dumb counter." he grumbled. "I better not see you making out with it when I come out!" he yelled through the door. Faint laughter was all he could make out with the tub running. 'Oi... I'll show her I'm a much better lover than some stupid.. inanimate object.'

Tsukune lowered himself into the tub, leaving his elbows on the edge of the tub, just out of the water's reach. As he stared at the ceiling, millions of thoughts were rushing through his head. Moka was going to Youkai Academy, just as he was. He has so many questions to ask her!

Why he had to be the next Dark Lord, why he had to finish his first stage of training without so much as being able to sent Moka a simple letter, why she would fall in love with a simple dragon and not a va-

Tsukune's head shot up as he heard a knock on the door. "Um.. Tsukune? I-I can wash your back if you want?" Moka asked, her enchanting voice stunned him for a moment.

"Sur-Uh… It's fine, I can do it myself," Tsukune nearly slipped up. His heart raced as he desperately tried to calm down his not-so-little soldier. Upon hearing Moka's footsteps walk away from the other side of door and fade away, Tsukune's nerves cooled down. After a half hour or soaking, Tsukune got up and dried himself off, finishing the neccessities of his morning ritual. Moka wrote a note for him,, telling him to meet her at the trail after his bath.

A little short about their somewhat average mornings. Ya, it's short, but it is a 'short'. I'm gonna be a little busy for the next couple of weeks so I decided to release a little of the suspension. The next chapter will be an all-out 100K word chapter!... Ok, that's the biggest lie I've ever said on the Internet.

Has anyone read the recent chapters for Rosario Vampire season II? It's awesome! Can't wait to see what happens next! I HATE CLIFFHANGERS!
