SMACK!
On and on Kokoa cried for help or for Alex to stop, and on and on he ignored her cries and spanked her bottom mercilessly and continuously, even going so far as to infuse a bit of his Haki into his hand. This was because Kokoa's regenerative abilities as a vampire would quickly nullify the pain of his spankings, not that he was directly trying to inflict pain onto her, but if she was able to shrug off a spanking as if it was nothing then it defeated the purpose of being a punishment. Soon however Kokoa's begging and protests eventually died down, and the area was only filled with the sound of Alex hand smacking her butt, and the occasional whimper. As Kokoa became familiar with the rhythm of when her butt would be smacked, it didn't happen, as instead Alex suddenly said,
"Apologize, and I'll stop." There was a beat of silence as Kokoa seemingly contemplated his offer, before saying,
"Why would I ever apologize to a weakling pervert like you?!" SMACK! "NOOOOOOOO!"
Once again the round of spankings began, except this time Alex spanked her even harder, making the rest of the girls pale as they watched Kokoa's ass become increasingly red, even prompting Mizore to cover her own butt as if to protect it from him. At one point Moka was about to ask Alex to let up on Kokoa, however the second she took a step forward he looked at her and slowly shook his head, before saying,
"You three should head back to class, Kurumu can you tell my next class that I'll be late, and that they're to do these exercises?" He then listen off a series of warm ups and exercises that the class would do, which Alex wasn't concerned that they would just laze around since pretty much no student in the academy would readily ignore what he told them. With Kurumu and Mizore basically dragging the still concerned Moka away, Kokoa desperately cried out,
"NO! WAIT! TAKE ME WITH YOU!!!"
SMACK!
"NOOOOOOOOOO!!!"
And so the punishment continued, with Alex occasionally telling Kokoa that he'd stop if she apologized, except that she would either refuse to or insult him once more, which only prolonged her suffering. Naturally even Alex was aware that this lengthy punishment would be considered 'too much' for simply being called a weakling, and, while that was undoubtedly a part of it, he had a bigger reason for doing what he was doing. As such, the sound of his hand smacking her rump continued to echo through the trees, until finally Alex heard,
"rry...." Alex then paused the spankings and said,
"Sorry? I didn't catch that." There was a slight pause as if Kokoa was contemplating repeating what she had said, before she finally muttered in her quietest voice possible,
"...i said I'm sorry....." Once again Alex's reply was,
"One more time, I'm a little deaf in this-"
"I SAID I'M SORRY, SO PLEASE STOP SPANKING ME!!!"
As she had finally apologized Alex didn't prolong her suffering even further, and released his hold on her arms so that Kokoa could finally get back up. Surprisingly the first thing she did wasn't retrieving her discarded skirt and panties, but instead she used both hands to start rubbing her cherry red butt, either unaware or uncaring that her privates were still completely exposed. While giving her a deadpan stare, Alex then stated as Kokoa was wincing slightly from pain in her butt,
"Do you know why I punished you?" This made her jump slightly as if she had been shocked, but then Kokoa said while looking down to avoid Alex's gaze,
"Because I called you a weakling..." Alex however shook his head and replied,
"That is a part of it, but the main reason I punished you so harshly was because of your selfish and bratty attitude." Kokoa then looked up sharply at the word 'bratty', before she stated firmly as if she had forgotten the punishment she had just received,
"I am not a BRAT!" The last word echoing through the trees from being yelled, while Kokoa looked Alex directly in the eyes as if she was once again challenging him for calling her a brat. Smirking slightly from her reaction, Alex then asked her,
"And how exactly are you not a 'brat'? You destroyed the schools property for no real reason other than because you felt like it, and I'll even bet you don't have any intention of fixing or paying for it yourself, you then attacked not only your own sister with the intent to kill for no reason, but even risked the safety of those around her and attacked me just because you wanted to. If this isn't bratty behavior then what is?" This made Kokoa go quiet in contemplation, however instead of thinking on her actions, she was trying to think of ways to reason that none of this was the actual case, further proving Alex's point.
Though the current examples Alex had to explain Kokoa's brattiness were limited, there was also a plethora of instances to chose from in the original timeline to back up his point. Not only had Kokoa chased and attacked Moka at every school she had attended until now, but her attitude combined with her own pride, arrogance, and even her obsession with her older sister had backed her into dangerous circ.u.mstances several times, with the time she tried to take on a trio of killer bank robbers alone with SEALED Moka being at the very top of the list. She would also readily dismiss anyone around Moka due to them being 'weaklings' compared to the powerful vampires, regularly coming up with random plans to try and separate Moka from them to try and get her beloved big sister(inner Moka) back.
Despite how 'bratty' and selfish Kokoa was however, Alex didn't blame her for it as the majority of the responsibility, as usual, fell onto her parents shoulders. Gyokuro had originally only had Kokoa as an attempt to gain back Issa's attention from Akasha and Moka, however when that failed she took out her irritation on her innocent daughter, criticizing all of her faults while also refusing to help her become better, and meanwhile praising her other daughter Kahlua for those same faults. While Gyokuro couldn't care less about her, and Issa was busy running the Shuzen family, this meant that the only ones Kokoa had to interact with was her sisters, however Akua only had eyes for Moka, and Kahlua actually terrified Kokoa due to her....unique fighting style. This left only Moka for Kokoa to play with every day, which consisted pretty much only of them fighting together; which meant that once Moka was sealed and sent to the human world, Kokoa was only surrounded by those who either didn't care for or terrified her.
Despite knowing all of this Alex had no intention to give Kokoa a chance to wave away her bad behavior, as then she would only become an annoyance for those that had to put up with her. That was why he intended to try and get her to acknowledge him as an authority figure that wouldn't accept her acting out, because then she might start to actually attempt to mature if she knew her selfishness and brattiness wouldn't be tolerated, or at least that was what he hoped. Looking at Kokoa as she still thought about the things Alex had pointed out, he nearly sighed before asking,
"So, did you think about the things I mentioned?" Unsurprisingly Kokoa smirked and stated in response,
"Yeah, and I don't really see what the big deal is, I mean I'm sure the school can afford to replace a table or two, and there's no way my amazing big sis would actually be threatened by an attack only of that level. As for those weaklings, if they couldn't take an attack like that without dying then they only had themselves to blame for being so weak, and you were able to beat me in the end so no problem!" Smiling as she finished speaking as if she wrapped up her argument in a nice little bow, Alex's face was expressionless as he looked down at the ground, before he slowly looked back up at her. Even though he wasn't emitting any kind of aura or intent, the moment Kokoa saw the look on Alex's face it felt as if her insides froze as the feeling of dread suddenly assaulted her. Immediately, the most intense killing intent Kokoa had ever felt was suddenly brought down on her, causing her fall back on her still sore butt in the dirt as fear like she had never known welled up within her. Alex then stood and slowly started walking towards her while saying in a deathly calm voice,
"Moka is sealed, and the only two outcomes of you attacking her like that are either she dies, or you get what you want and the seal breaks, unsealing Moka while also releasing the greatest threat this world had ever seen. So, the only two outcomes for your actions is either murdering your sister with your own hands, or personally kicking off the apocalypse."
When she heard this Kokoa's face paled as she never once considered that her invincible big sis could actually die from one of her attacks, let alone the other stuff Alex said. However he didn't end then there, as he continued,
"Not only that, but Moka along with those other two girls, Kurumu and Mizore, are all my wives, and yet all you'd say if you had injured or killed them, is 'oh well they were weaklings'? Well Moka also interacts with my other wives, some of which can't train or fight, and my children, all of which are younger than five years old; if they had been around her instead and were injured or killed as a result of your stupidity would you have said the same thing?" At this point Alex's killing intent intensified as if to prove his point of how ridiculous the idea of 'weaklings don't matter' was, as with that philosophy one would justify killing literally everything around them until someone stronger came along, and to prove this point even further he continued,
"That being said, to me YOU'RE a weakling, so does that mean that I should kill you just because I'm stronger? Or maybe I should because you readily tried to harm or kill those I care about with no hesitation, attempting to kick off the apocalypse while you were at it?" Though Kokoa had just barely managed to hold out under the force of Alex's killing intent until now, when he actually started mentioning killing her for her actions her bladder emptied itself suddenly before she stuttered,
"I-I-I-I-I JUST WANTED MY BIG SISTER BACK! WAAAAAAAAAAA!" As she shouted this Kokoa then broke down, and started crying her eyes out in the middle of the woods. This made Alex awkwardly cancel his killing intent as he took a step back and pondered what to do, as while he had been trying to teach Kokoa a lesson, he never intended to actually make her cry.
He then kneeled down in front of Kokoa, while avoiding the mess she had made in the dirt, and grabbed her lightly at the shoulders before saying in a soothing voice,
"It's ok Kokoa, let it all out." Then, seemingly forgetting about Alex being the one to make her cry to begin with, Kokoa immediately leaned into his awkward embrace and cried her heart out into his chest while clinging onto his shirt. Alex then awkwardly started to rub her back as he tried to think of ways to get her to calm down, with him being genuinely confused by the current situation.
While Alex's actions had undoubtedly been the trigger to Kokoa's current situation, a big reason for her current rush of tears was also how much she had been holding back ever since Moka had left their home. Though Kokoa had cried a little bit after Moka left, this led to her mother becoming even harsher with her for being an embarrassment since 'real vampires don't cry'; this led to her essentially trying to bottle everything up until the rare instances where she managed to track her sister down, and tried to fight her once she saw her like they had always done. Naturally she was no good at bottling her emotions like her sister Kahlua would, which led to more scoldings from her mother, however Kokoa eventually didn't care and put more effort into into finding and getting her sister back.
That was why, despite being the trigger for her crying himself, Kokoa readily accepted Alex's comfort as she released all of her frustrations for the past six years.
***
Nearly an hour after she began crying Kokoa finally seemed to start settling down, which gave Alex a chance to ask,
"Feel better?" Though he wasn't really expecting an answer after how their interactions had been so far, Alex was fairly surprised when Kokoa just barely nodded while once again refusing to meet his gaze, despite the fact that she had moved closer so that she was currently sitting on one of his legs. She then surprised him further by asking in a small voice,
"Why?" Though Alex was once again slightly confused, she soon elaborated by adding, "Why be nice to me after you threatened to kill me?" This made Alex chuckle at himself wryly, before he explained,
"I wasn't actually going to kill you, I was just trying to prove a point about thinking about your actions and the way you see things; and besides even if you did something 'unforgivable' I'd find a way to make you regret it and pay for it instead of just killing you, after all I'd never kill Moka's beloved little sister." This made her look up at him surprise before Alex added as an afterthought, "And also right now you're not someone who needs scolding, but a girl that just wanted to let it all go for once and needed someone to comfort her." Though his reason sounded stupid Kokoa didn't say so, and instead she continued to sit there while thinking about what just happened until Alex spoke up once more,
"Usually I think after fighting like that and crying as hard as you did someone would be hungry-"
"I didn't cry that badly..." Kokoa muttered under breath, which Alex pointedly ignored as he continued,
"-so would you like some real food or do you want some of my blood?" His question momentarily stunned Kokoa, as why would someone willingly offer up their blood to a vampire? She then looked at him finally with a bit of suspicion at his offer, to which Alex chuckled before explaining,
"I have four vampires in my harem, if I wasn't ok with having my blood sucked then it'd be strange. I'll have to warn you though, if you sample my blood then no blood will ever be able to satisfy you ever again, just ask Moka or Akua." Though Kokoa was curious as to why Alex decided to mention her oldest sister as well, she then stated firmly as if to regain her lost dignity,
"I'll have some of your blood, though I doubt it's as good as you're trying to make it out to be!" Shrugging his shoulders in response, Alex simply tilted his head to the side to expose his neck before Kokoa's fangs sunk into his flesh.
The moment the first drop of blood touched her tongue, Kokoa realized Alex wasn't just boasting as a taste and sensations she never imagined blood to have filled her, while she could also feel more power coursing through her body by the second. She then sucked on Alex's neck with as much desperation as a man who had found an oasis after wandering the desert for days, tightening her hold on his body as if scared he would suddenly disappeared. While normally Alex would let the girls feed on him until they were full, he still had to return to his usual duties as a teacher even though he had already missed an entire class, and so after several minutes he then tired to pry Kokoa off of him despite her clinging to him as if with the jaws of life.
Surprisingly she retained her hold as if her strength had multiplied in less than an hour, dumbfounding Alex at her tenacity towards sucking more of his blood until he decided to try somethings else. Alex then slapped her still exposed bottom sharply, earning him a yelp from Kokoa as she literally jump a few inches off of his leg before falling back down on him, and giving him the stink eye for slapping her butt again. Alex laughed out loud at her expression, before saying,
"Don't look at me like that, give it a year or two and you'll probably love being spanked."
"Not on your life." Kokoa grumbled, not yet realizing just how wrong she was about Alex's prediction. She then got up onto her feet awkwardly as by this point she had not only been without both her skirt and panties in front of a guy she had just met for well over an hour now, but she had even wet herself and then crawled onto and straddled Alex's leg for quite a while during that time, sitting with her privates rubbing directly against Alex's bare leg since he was wearing shorts. For the first time Kokoa seemed to feel embarrassment at what was going on, while Alex was acting as casually as always as he dusted himself off and said,
"I'll take us to my office and you can clean up and get dressed there, after that you can either wait there patiently or follow me around as long as you're quiet. Once school is over we'll meet up with Moka and actually discuss what is going on." Though Kokoa didn't understand what Alex meant by what was actually going on, she just nodded silently as she collected her skirt and panties while her bat familiar Kou perched itself on top of her head since everything had settled down, and rejoined Alex as he teleported them directly to his office.
If Kokoa knew anything about magic then she probably might have been impressed with Alex's instantaneous teleportation without any prep beforehand, instead her attention was centered on the steaming hot tub of water that he produced for her, which was obviously treated for vampires. He then used a rag and water to clean the filth off his own leg, making Kokoa genuinely blush for the first time, before leaving her some privacy as he joined the class that was patiently waiting for their teachers arrival.
After around twenty or so minutes Kokoa left Alex's office to come and find him, as patience had never been her strong suit, where she then shadowed him for the rest of the school day. Naturally the young girl following him around earned Alex a few questions, however he just waved them away by saying she was Moka's little sister who came for a surprise visit, and that he was watching over her until school was over for the day, which was basically the truth. The one who was the most shocked by this scene however was Moka herself, who just so happened to glance out of the window by her seat, when she saw Alex teaching his class while Kokoa seemed to follow him around almost as if like a lost puppy. Moka was so distracted by this strange scene, that she almost missed it when the teacher called on her to answer a question.
Eventually the long school day finally came to an end, and once Moka saw Kokoa and Alex she immediately put on a smile and came up to the duo to finally be able to get her little sister properly. All she as the 'outer' personality wanted was to be able to be regular sisters with Kokoa, even though she couldn't fight with her like Kokoa wanted; and so when she saw Kokoa acting so docile Moka got excited that they'd be able to finally have the sisterhood she always wanted, until Kokoa hid behind Alex's back with only the top part of her head sticking out to glare at her menacingly. Before either one could say anything to the other, Alex gave Kokoa a look due to her actions, causing the young vampire to practically wilt as he stated,
"Even if she isn't the same sister you grew up with, she is still Moka and she really wanted to see and interact with her little sister properly, so at least give her a chance." Not wanting to get scolded by Alex once again that day, Kokoa reluctantly came out from behind him while grumbling slightly before saying,
"Hello big sis..." Happy that Kokoa finally acknowledged 'her' as her big sister, Moka beamed before quickly wrapping her arms around Kokoa's body, causing the young vampiress to tense slightly for several seconds. After a few seconds of watching the sisters embrace, Alex finally said,
"Ok, now let's head home so we can explain things to Kokoa and she could tell us why she's here as well." Kokoa then looked at Alex weirdly, before stating as if it was obvious,
"I came her because this is where my big sis was." Alex smiled wryly in response to what she said, however he knew it was more than that. Originally Kokoa wouldn't arrive at Youkai Academy for almost another entire year, meaning something out of the norm had to have happened for her to arrive this quickly instead.
Staying silent for the time being however, he then brought the five of them to Asora, and then directly into the space-time orb despite Kokoa's many questions. What followed was a series of introductions, questions, and then explanations as Alex told Kokoa why Moka had been sealed, and that he planned to undo the seal himself in the near future. Naturally Kokoa didn't want to wait until then to undo the seal, but a stern look from Alex and the rambunctious vampire quickly settled down, after which Alex promised that if Kokoa could stay out of trouble then she'd be able to fight both him and 'inner' once a month due to her deciding to stay inside the space-time orb to train. Whenever Alex and Moka weren't there though she'd train with Shia, Koneko, and Routier, a trio that looked at Kokoa with malicious smiles when she accidentally made the comment about how weak they looked.
After all of the excitement of Kokoa's arrival she and Moka retired to the latter's room for bed, while Alex dragged Akua to a side room with the rest of his peerage. He then asked seriously,
"Why would Gyokuro send Kokoa here now?" Akua was silent for several minutes as she pondered Alex's question, something she herself couldn't help but wonder. Unlike her Kokoa wasn't a part of Fairy Tale and hadn't really distinguished herself to the other members of the house of Shuzen as a capable assassin, and so the reason Gyokuro baited Kokoa to them was mysterious. After thinking about it for several minutes Akua finally theorized,
"Well it might have something to do with the fact that I didn't report anything from the academy before going missing. My original reason for coming here was to investigate Kiria's situation and to see if there were any traces of you here since all we knew was what you looked like, and that you were strong. What I don't understand however is why she sent Kokoa of all people..." As Akua then fell into silent contemplation, everyone thought on what she said along with what Kokoa had told them earlier.
Naturally the young vampiress had no idea that not only was her own mother the leader of an evil organization while two of her sisters were also a part of it, but even the man she had been calling father for the last few years was a fake, something she hadn't been able to notice due to her focus on finding Moka, and how little time she would spend with him to begin with. She had then readily revealed that it was her own mother that had lured her there with the fact that Moka was at the academy, something Akua immediately considered fishy. Eventually Rias hesitantly spoke up, earning every eye on her as she said,
"Maybe she decided to use Kokoa as a sacrificial pawn or spy without her even being aware of it?" Though it sounded like an idea that was quite out there, Akua nodded before adding thoughtfully,
"It would actually make sense, as my stepmother only really cares about waking up Alucard anymore, and since she never really cared about Kokoa, who wasn't in on the plans to unleash him, then if she died or something Gyokuro might have considered it no great loss to her or Fairy Tale. Contrarily, if she calls back Kokoa in a few days or so, then she'd be able to question her for information regarding anyone matching Alex's description at the academy, either that or just use the chance to see for herself while personally picking up a disobedient daughter." Everyone's expressions then darkened when they heard about how readily Gyokuro seemed to be willing to throw away her daughter, however their anger paled in comparison to a certain silver haired maid, who was radiating a powerful killing intent from her entire body. As a mother herself Grayfia would give up her own life in a heartbeat if it meant Millicas would remain safe and sound, however, hearing about a mother who would readily send her own daughter to her death, and not even care if she did die, had royally pissed her off.
Looking around at the heavy atmosphere her words had created, Akua then suddenly stood up and said once everyone was looking at her, "Well, it was just a theory. Regardless of what she was thinking I'm not gonna worry about it and just go to bed, goodnight!" After stating that Akua swiftly disappeared, as she went to join Moka and Kokoa in bed to cuddle with the pink haired vampiress, leaving everyone else to think on what she said. After a moment however Kuroka, who was sitting to Alex's immediate right, pinched his side lightly and asked,
"So, how do you feel now that you have an entire trio of sisters to play with~Nya?" This question immediately earned Alex the attention of every girl in the room, to which he casually answered,
"Eh, personally I'd prefer having the entire set as a quartet." Despite the fact that they were all aware that Alex was mostly just joking, his comment still earned him a triple set of pinches from Kuroka to his right, Shizuku from his left, and Yue who had taken her usual spot on his lap. This made him smile wryly as Shia spoke up,
"Now that you mention it, all of these sisters seem to be pretty 'unusual', I wonder if the forth one is at least somewhat normal?" Everyone was silent as they thought on Shia's observations, with Akua being a yandere romantically obsessed with her little sister, Kokoa being a battle junky who was also obsessed with her sister, just not psychotically so like Akua; and then there was Moka who was fairly normal, if one forgot about the fact that she actually had two different personalities and was the only thing preventing the rise of the most powerful and evil being on the planet. Alex however chuckled at Shia's question before stating plainly,
"Actually, I wouldn't hesitate to say that the forth sister, Kahlua, is probably the most insane one of them all. Take this for an example, she normally wouldn't even be able to hurt a fly, but she is also the top assassins of her entire family." The girls were silent as they pondered what Alex had told them, until finally Grayfia asked,
"How does one transition from being unable to even hurt a fly, to being a top tier assassin in the blink of an eye?" This earned a smirk from Alex as he explained,
"Because of Gyokuro's upbringing. While she's normally the sweetest and most naive one of the four sisters, if she goes into her berserk mode then she'll readily slaughter anything around her with no remorse or regard for her own safety, including the people she loves the most like her sisters. Truth be told she is probably the most terrifying one to face in a fight because of her fighting style, since she usually tries to cope through murdering people by crying while she fights..."
As Alex trailed off the girls looked thoughtful as they took in what he said, while Alex himself thought back on Kahlua's circ.u.mstances, which could easily make her one of the most tragic people in the Rosario Vampire world to the point where they would probably need to use Spirit magic to help her recover from the years of brainwashing and manipulation at her mother's hands. He then shook his head lightly and shelved the matter of Kahlua for later, before pulling both Kuroka and Shizuku closer and saying,
"Enough of that for now, I have a job for you two tomorrow." Though Kuroka rolled her eyes at getting yet another thing to worry about, Shizuku looked up slightly when Alex said he needed her.

"MOLESTER!"

"HELP MEEEEEEEEE!!!"
SMACK!
On and on Kokoa cried for help or for Alex to stop, and on and on he ignored her cries and spanked her bottom mercilessly and continuously, even going so far as to infuse a bit of his Haki into his hand. This was because Kokoa's regenerative abilities as a vampire would quickly nullify the pain of his spankings, not that he was directly trying to inflict pain onto her, but if she was able to shrug off a spanking as if it was nothing then it defeated the purpose of being a punishment. Soon however Kokoa's begging and protests eventually died down, and the area was only filled with the sound of Alex hand smacking her butt, and the occasional whimper. As Kokoa became familiar with the rhythm of when her butt would be smacked, it didn't happen, as instead Alex suddenly said,
"Apologize, and I'll stop." There was a beat of silence as Kokoa seemingly contemplated his offer, before saying,
"Why would I ever apologize to a weakling pervert like you?!" SMACK! "NOOOOOOOO!"
Once again the round of spankings began, except this time Alex spanked her even harder, making the rest of the girls pale as they watched Kokoa's ass become increasingly red, even prompting Mizore to cover her own butt as if to protect it from him. At one point Moka was about to ask Alex to let up on Kokoa, however the second she took a step forward he looked at her and slowly shook his head, before saying,
"You three should head back to class, Kurumu can you tell my next class that I'll be late, and that they're to do these exercises?" He then listen off a series of warm ups and exercises that the class would do, which Alex wasn't concerned that they would just laze around since pretty much no student in the academy would readily ignore what he told them. With Kurumu and Mizore basically dragging the still concerned Moka away, Kokoa desperately cried out,
"NO! WAIT! TAKE ME WITH YOU!!!"
SMACK!
"NOOOOOOOOOO!!!"
And so the punishment continued, with Alex occasionally telling Kokoa that he'd stop if she apologized, except that she would either refuse to or insult him once more, which only prolonged her suffering. Naturally even Alex was aware that this lengthy punishment would be considered 'too much' for simply being called a weakling, and, while that was undoubtedly a part of it, he had a bigger reason for doing what he was doing. As such, the sound of his hand smacking her rump continued to echo through the trees, until finally Alex heard,
"rry...." Alex then paused the spankings and said,
"Sorry? I didn't catch that." There was a slight pause as if Kokoa was contemplating repeating what she had said, before she finally muttered in her quietest voice possible,
"...i said I'm sorry....." Once again Alex's reply was,
"One more time, I'm a little deaf in this-"
"I SAID I'M SORRY, SO PLEASE STOP SPANKING ME!!!"
As she had finally apologized Alex didn't prolong her suffering even further, and released his hold on her arms so that Kokoa could finally get back up. Surprisingly the first thing she did wasn't retrieving her discarded skirt and panties, but instead she used both hands to start rubbing her cherry red butt, either unaware or uncaring that her privates were still completely exposed. While giving her a deadpan stare, Alex then stated as Kokoa was wincing slightly from pain in her butt,
"Do you know why I punished you?" This made her jump slightly as if she had been shocked, but then Kokoa said while looking down to avoid Alex's gaze,
"Because I called you a weakling..." Alex however shook his head and replied,
"That is a part of it, but the main reason I punished you so harshly was because of your selfish and bratty attitude." Kokoa then looked up sharply at the word 'bratty', before she stated firmly as if she had forgotten the punishment she had just received,
"I am not a BRAT!" The last word echoing through the trees from being yelled, while Kokoa looked Alex directly in the eyes as if she was once again challenging him for calling her a brat. Smirking slightly from her reaction, Alex then asked her,
"And how exactly are you not a 'brat'? You destroyed the schools property for no real reason other than because you felt like it, and I'll even bet you don't have any intention of fixing or paying for it yourself, you then attacked not only your own sister with the intent to kill for no reason, but even risked the safety of those around her and attacked me just because you wanted to. If this isn't bratty behavior then what is?" This made Kokoa go quiet in contemplation, however instead of thinking on her actions, she was trying to think of ways to reason that none of this was the actual case, further proving Alex's point.
Though the current examples Alex had to explain Kokoa's brattiness were limited, there was also a plethora of instances to chose from in the original timeline to back up his point. Not only had Kokoa chased and attacked Moka at every school she had attended until now, but her attitude combined with her own pride, arrogance, and even her obsession with her older sister had backed her into dangerous circ.u.mstances several times, with the time she tried to take on a trio of killer bank robbers alone with SEALED Moka being at the very top of the list. She would also readily dismiss anyone around Moka due to them being 'weaklings' compared to the powerful vampires, regularly coming up with random plans to try and separate Moka from them to try and get her beloved big sister(inner Moka) back.
Despite how 'bratty' and selfish Kokoa was however, Alex didn't blame her for it as the majority of the responsibility, as usual, fell onto her parents shoulders. Gyokuro had originally only had Kokoa as an attempt to gain back Issa's attention from Akasha and Moka, however when that failed she took out her irritation on her innocent daughter, criticizing all of her faults while also refusing to help her become better, and meanwhile praising her other daughter Kahlua for those same faults. While Gyokuro couldn't care less about her, and Issa was busy running the Shuzen family, this meant that the only ones Kokoa had to interact with was her sisters, however Akua only had eyes for Moka, and Kahlua actually terrified Kokoa due to her....unique fighting style. This left only Moka for Kokoa to play with every day, which consisted pretty much only of them fighting together; which meant that once Moka was sealed and sent to the human world, Kokoa was only surrounded by those who either didn't care for or terrified her.
Despite knowing all of this Alex had no intention to give Kokoa a chance to wave away her bad behavior, as then she would only become an annoyance for those that had to put up with her. That was why he intended to try and get her to acknowledge him as an authority figure that wouldn't accept her acting out, because then she might start to actually attempt to mature if she knew her selfishness and brattiness wouldn't be tolerated, or at least that was what he hoped. Looking at Kokoa as she still thought about the things Alex had pointed out, he nearly sighed before asking,
"So, did you think about the things I mentioned?" Unsurprisingly Kokoa smirked and stated in response,
"Yeah, and I don't really see what the big deal is, I mean I'm sure the school can afford to replace a table or two, and there's no way my amazing big sis would actually be threatened by an attack only of that level. As for those weaklings, if they couldn't take an attack like that without dying then they only had themselves to blame for being so weak, and you were able to beat me in the end so no problem!" Smiling as she finished speaking as if she wrapped up her argument in a nice little bow, Alex's face was expressionless as he looked down at the ground, before he slowly looked back up at her. Even though he wasn't emitting any kind of aura or intent, the moment Kokoa saw the look on Alex's face it felt as if her insides froze as the feeling of dread suddenly assaulted her. Immediately, the most intense killing intent Kokoa had ever felt was suddenly brought down on her, causing her fall back on her still sore butt in the dirt as fear like she had never known welled up within her. Alex then stood and slowly started walking towards her while saying in a deathly calm voice,
"Moka is sealed, and the only two outcomes of you attacking her like that are either she dies, or you get what you want and the seal breaks, unsealing Moka while also releasing the greatest threat this world had ever seen. So, the only two outcomes for your actions is either murdering your sister with your own hands, or personally kicking off the apocalypse."
When she heard this Kokoa's face paled as she never once considered that her invincible big sis could actually die from one of her attacks, let alone the other stuff Alex said. However he didn't end then there, as he continued,
"Not only that, but Moka along with those other two girls, Kurumu and Mizore, are all my wives, and yet all you'd say if you had injured or killed them, is 'oh well they were weaklings'? Well Moka also interacts with my other wives, some of which can't train or fight, and my children, all of which are younger than five years old; if they had been around her instead and were injured or killed as a result of your stupidity would you have said the same thing?" At this point Alex's killing intent intensified as if to prove his point of how ridiculous the idea of 'weaklings don't matter' was, as with that philosophy one would justify killing literally everything around them until someone stronger came along, and to prove this point even further he continued,
"That being said, to me YOU'RE a weakling, so does that mean that I should kill you just because I'm stronger? Or maybe I should because you readily tried to harm or kill those I care about with no hesitation, attempting to kick off the apocalypse while you were at it?" Though Kokoa had just barely managed to hold out under the force of Alex's killing intent until now, when he actually started mentioning killing her for her actions her bladder emptied itself suddenly before she stuttered,
"I-I-I-I-I JUST WANTED MY BIG SISTER BACK! WAAAAAAAAAAA!" As she shouted this Kokoa then broke down, and started crying her eyes out in the middle of the woods. This made Alex awkwardly cancel his killing intent as he took a step back and pondered what to do, as while he had been trying to teach Kokoa a lesson, he never intended to actually make her cry.
He then kneeled down in front of Kokoa, while avoiding the mess she had made in the dirt, and grabbed her lightly at the shoulders before saying in a soothing voice,
"It's ok Kokoa, let it all out." Then, seemingly forgetting about Alex being the one to make her cry to begin with, Kokoa immediately leaned into his awkward embrace and cried her heart out into his chest while clinging onto his shirt. Alex then awkwardly started to rub her back as he tried to think of ways to get her to calm down, with him being genuinely confused by the current situation.
While Alex's actions had undoubtedly been the trigger to Kokoa's current situation, a big reason for her current rush of tears was also how much she had been holding back ever since Moka had left their home. Though Kokoa had cried a little bit after Moka left, this led to her mother becoming even harsher with her for being an embarrassment since 'real vampires don't cry'; this led to her essentially trying to bottle everything up until the rare instances where she managed to track her sister down, and tried to fight her once she saw her like they had always done. Naturally she was no good at bottling her emotions like her sister Kahlua would, which led to more scoldings from her mother, however Kokoa eventually didn't care and put more effort into into finding and getting her sister back.
That was why, despite being the trigger for her crying himself, Kokoa readily accepted Alex's comfort as she released all of her frustrations for the past six years.
***
Nearly an hour after she began crying Kokoa finally seemed to start settling down, which gave Alex a chance to ask,
"Feel better?" Though he wasn't really expecting an answer after how their interactions had been so far, Alex was fairly surprised when Kokoa just barely nodded while once again refusing to meet his gaze, despite the fact that she had moved closer so that she was currently sitting on one of his legs. She then surprised him further by asking in a small voice,
"Why?" Though Alex was once again slightly confused, she soon elaborated by adding, "Why be nice to me after you threatened to kill me?" This made Alex chuckle at himself wryly, before he explained,
"I wasn't actually going to kill you, I was just trying to prove a point about thinking about your actions and the way you see things; and besides even if you did something 'unforgivable' I'd find a way to make you regret it and pay for it instead of just killing you, after all I'd never kill Moka's beloved little sister." This made her look up at him surprise before Alex added as an afterthought, "And also right now you're not someone who needs scolding, but a girl that just wanted to let it all go for once and needed someone to comfort her." Though his reason sounded stupid Kokoa didn't say so, and instead she continued to sit there while thinking about what just happened until Alex spoke up once more,
"Usually I think after fighting like that and crying as hard as you did someone would be hungry-"
"I didn't cry that badly..." Kokoa muttered under breath, which Alex pointedly ignored as he continued,
"-so would you like some real food or do you want some of my blood?" His question momentarily stunned Kokoa, as why would someone willingly offer up their blood to a vampire? She then looked at him finally with a bit of suspicion at his offer, to which Alex chuckled before explaining,
"I have four vampires in my harem, if I wasn't ok with having my blood sucked then it'd be strange. I'll have to warn you though, if you sample my blood then no blood will ever be able to satisfy you ever again, just ask Moka or Akua." Though Kokoa was curious as to why Alex decided to mention her oldest sister as well, she then stated firmly as if to regain her lost dignity,
"I'll have some of your blood, though I doubt it's as good as you're trying to make it out to be!" Shrugging his shoulders in response, Alex simply tilted his head to the side to expose his neck before Kokoa's fangs sunk into his flesh.
The moment the first drop of blood touched her tongue, Kokoa realized Alex wasn't just boasting as a taste and sensations she never imagined blood to have filled her, while she could also feel more power coursing through her body by the second. She then sucked on Alex's neck with as much desperation as a man who had found an oasis after wandering the desert for days, tightening her hold on his body as if scared he would suddenly disappeared. While normally Alex would let the girls feed on him until they were full, he still had to return to his usual duties as a teacher even though he had already missed an entire class, and so after several minutes he then tired to pry Kokoa off of him despite her clinging to him as if with the jaws of life.
Surprisingly she retained her hold as if her strength had multiplied in less than an hour, dumbfounding Alex at her tenacity towards sucking more of his blood until he decided to try somethings else. Alex then slapped her still exposed bottom sharply, earning him a yelp from Kokoa as she literally jump a few inches off of his leg before falling back down on him, and giving him the stink eye for slapping her butt again. Alex laughed out loud at her expression, before saying,
"Don't look at me like that, give it a year or two and you'll probably love being spanked."
"Not on your life." Kokoa grumbled, not yet realizing just how wrong she was about Alex's prediction. She then got up onto her feet awkwardly as by this point she had not only been without both her skirt and panties in front of a guy she had just met for well over an hour now, but she had even wet herself and then crawled onto and straddled Alex's leg for quite a while during that time, sitting with her privates rubbing directly against Alex's bare leg since he was wearing shorts. For the first time Kokoa seemed to feel embarrassment at what was going on, while Alex was acting as casually as always as he dusted himself off and said,
"I'll take us to my office and you can clean up and get dressed there, after that you can either wait there patiently or follow me around as long as you're quiet. Once school is over we'll meet up with Moka and actually discuss what is going on." Though Kokoa didn't understand what Alex meant by what was actually going on, she just nodded silently as she collected her skirt and panties while her bat familiar Kou perched itself on top of her head since everything had settled down, and rejoined Alex as he teleported them directly to his office.
If Kokoa knew anything about magic then she probably might have been impressed with Alex's instantaneous teleportation without any prep beforehand, instead her attention was centered on the steaming hot tub of water that he produced for her, which was obviously treated for vampires. He then used a rag and water to clean the filth off his own leg, making Kokoa genuinely blush for the first time, before leaving her some privacy as he joined the class that was patiently waiting for their teachers arrival.
After around twenty or so minutes Kokoa left Alex's office to come and find him, as patience had never been her strong suit, where she then shadowed him for the rest of the school day. Naturally the young girl following him around earned Alex a few questions, however he just waved them away by saying she was Moka's little sister who came for a surprise visit, and that he was watching over her until school was over for the day, which was basically the truth. The one who was the most shocked by this scene however was Moka herself, who just so happened to glance out of the window by her seat, when she saw Alex teaching his class while Kokoa seemed to follow him around almost as if like a lost puppy. Moka was so distracted by this strange scene, that she almost missed it when the teacher called on her to answer a question.
Eventually the long school day finally came to an end, and once Moka saw Kokoa and Alex she immediately put on a smile and came up to the duo to finally be able to get her little sister properly. All she as the 'outer' personality wanted was to be able to be regular sisters with Kokoa, even though she couldn't fight with her like Kokoa wanted; and so when she saw Kokoa acting so docile Moka got excited that they'd be able to finally have the sisterhood she always wanted, until Kokoa hid behind Alex's back with only the top part of her head sticking out to glare at her menacingly. Before either one could say anything to the other, Alex gave Kokoa a look due to her actions, causing the young vampire to practically wilt as he stated,
"Even if she isn't the same sister you grew up with, she is still Moka and she really wanted to see and interact with her little sister properly, so at least give her a chance." Not wanting to get scolded by Alex once again that day, Kokoa reluctantly came out from behind him while grumbling slightly before saying,
"Hello big sis..." Happy that Kokoa finally acknowledged 'her' as her big sister, Moka beamed before quickly wrapping her arms around Kokoa's body, causing the young vampiress to tense slightly for several seconds. After a few seconds of watching the sisters embrace, Alex finally said,
"Ok, now let's head home so we can explain things to Kokoa and she could tell us why she's here as well." Kokoa then looked at Alex weirdly, before stating as if it was obvious,
"I came her because this is where my big sis was." Alex smiled wryly in response to what she said, however he knew it was more than that. Originally Kokoa wouldn't arrive at Youkai Academy for almost another entire year, meaning something out of the norm had to have happened for her to arrive this quickly instead.
Staying silent for the time being however, he then brought the five of them to Asora, and then directly into the space-time orb despite Kokoa's many questions. What followed was a series of introductions, questions, and then explanations as Alex told Kokoa why Moka had been sealed, and that he planned to undo the seal himself in the near future. Naturally Kokoa didn't want to wait until then to undo the seal, but a stern look from Alex and the rambunctious vampire quickly settled down, after which Alex promised that if Kokoa could stay out of trouble then she'd be able to fight both him and 'inner' once a month due to her deciding to stay inside the space-time orb to train. Whenever Alex and Moka weren't there though she'd train with Shia, Koneko, and Routier, a trio that looked at Kokoa with malicious smiles when she accidentally made the comment about how weak they looked.
After all of the excitement of Kokoa's arrival she and Moka retired to the latter's room for bed, while Alex dragged Akua to a side room with the rest of his peerage. He then asked seriously,
"Why would Gyokuro send Kokoa here now?" Akua was silent for several minutes as she pondered Alex's question, something she herself couldn't help but wonder. Unlike her Kokoa wasn't a part of Fairy Tale and hadn't really distinguished herself to the other members of the house of Shuzen as a capable assassin, and so the reason Gyokuro baited Kokoa to them was mysterious. After thinking about it for several minutes Akua finally theorized,
"Well it might have something to do with the fact that I didn't report anything from the academy before going missing. My original reason for coming here was to investigate Kiria's situation and to see if there were any traces of you here since all we knew was what you looked like, and that you were strong. What I don't understand however is why she sent Kokoa of all people..." As Akua then fell into silent contemplation, everyone thought on what she said along with what Kokoa had told them earlier.
Naturally the young vampiress had no idea that not only was her own mother the leader of an evil organization while two of her sisters were also a part of it, but even the man she had been calling father for the last few years was a fake, something she hadn't been able to notice due to her focus on finding Moka, and how little time she would spend with him to begin with. She had then readily revealed that it was her own mother that had lured her there with the fact that Moka was at the academy, something Akua immediately considered fishy. Eventually Rias hesitantly spoke up, earning every eye on her as she said,
"Maybe she decided to use Kokoa as a sacrificial pawn or spy without her even being aware of it?" Though it sounded like an idea that was quite out there, Akua nodded before adding thoughtfully,
"It would actually make sense, as my stepmother only really cares about waking up Alucard anymore, and since she never really cared about Kokoa, who wasn't in on the plans to unleash him, then if she died or something Gyokuro might have considered it no great loss to her or Fairy Tale. Contrarily, if she calls back Kokoa in a few days or so, then she'd be able to question her for information regarding anyone matching Alex's description at the academy, either that or just use the chance to see for herself while personally picking up a disobedient daughter." Everyone's expressions then darkened when they heard about how readily Gyokuro seemed to be willing to throw away her daughter, however their anger paled in comparison to a certain silver haired maid, who was radiating a powerful killing intent from her entire body. As a mother herself Grayfia would give up her own life in a heartbeat if it meant Millicas would remain safe and sound, however, hearing about a mother who would readily send her own daughter to her death, and not even care if she did die, had royally pissed her off.
Looking around at the heavy atmosphere her words had created, Akua then suddenly stood up and said once everyone was looking at her, "Well, it was just a theory. Regardless of what she was thinking I'm not gonna worry about it and just go to bed, goodnight!" After stating that Akua swiftly disappeared, as she went to join Moka and Kokoa in bed to cuddle with the pink haired vampiress, leaving everyone else to think on what she said. After a moment however Kuroka, who was sitting to Alex's immediate right, pinched his side lightly and asked,
"So, how do you feel now that you have an entire trio of sisters to play with~Nya?" This question immediately earned Alex the attention of every girl in the room, to which he casually answered,
"Eh, personally I'd prefer having the entire set as a quartet." Despite the fact that they were all aware that Alex was mostly just joking, his comment still earned him a triple set of pinches from Kuroka to his right, Shizuku from his left, and Yue who had taken her usual spot on his lap. This made him smile wryly as Shia spoke up,
"Now that you mention it, all of these sisters seem to be pretty 'unusual', I wonder if the forth one is at least somewhat normal?" Everyone was silent as they thought on Shia's observations, with Akua being a yandere romantically obsessed with her little sister, Kokoa being a battle junky who was also obsessed with her sister, just not psychotically so like Akua; and then there was Moka who was fairly normal, if one forgot about the fact that she actually had two different personalities and was the only thing preventing the rise of the most powerful and evil being on the planet. Alex however chuckled at Shia's question before stating plainly,
"Actually, I wouldn't hesitate to say that the forth sister, Kahlua, is probably the most insane one of them all. Take this for an example, she normally wouldn't even be able to hurt a fly, but she is also the top assassins of her entire family." The girls were silent as they pondered what Alex had told them, until finally Grayfia asked,
"How does one transition from being unable to even hurt a fly, to being a top tier assassin in the blink of an eye?" This earned a smirk from Alex as he explained,
"Because of Gyokuro's upbringing. While she's normally the sweetest and most naive one of the four sisters, if she goes into her berserk mode then she'll readily slaughter anything around her with no remorse or regard for her own safety, including the people she loves the most like her sisters. Truth be told she is probably the most terrifying one to face in a fight because of her fighting style, since she usually tries to cope through murdering people by crying while she fights..."
As Alex trailed off the girls looked thoughtful as they took in what he said, while Alex himself thought back on Kahlua's circ.u.mstances, which could easily make her one of the most tragic people in the Rosario Vampire world to the point where they would probably need to use Spirit magic to help her recover from the years of brainwashing and manipulation at her mother's hands. He then shook his head lightly and shelved the matter of Kahlua for later, before pulling both Kuroka and Shizuku closer and saying,
"Enough of that for now, I have a job for you two tomorrow." Though Kuroka rolled her eyes at getting yet another thing to worry about, Shizuku looked up slightly when Alex said he needed her.
"NOOOOOOOO!!" SMACK! "PERVERT!" SMACK! "MOLESTER!" SMACK! "RAPIST!" SMACK! "HELP MEEEEEEEEE!!!" SMACK! On and on Kokoa cried for help or for Alex to stop, and on and on he ignored her cries and spanked her bottom mercilessly and continuously, even going so far as to infuse a bit of his Haki into his hand. This was because Kokoa's regenerative abilities as a vampire would quickly nullify the pain of his spankings, not that he was directly trying to inflict pain onto her, but if she was able to shrug off a spanking as if it was nothing then it defeated the purpose of being a punishment. Soon however Kokoa's begging and protests eventually died down, and the area was only filled with the sound of Alex hand smacking her butt, and the occasional whimper. As Kokoa became familiar with the rhythm of when her butt would be smacked, it didn't happen, as instead Alex suddenly said, "Apologize, and I'll stop." There was a beat of silence as Kokoa seemingly contemplated his offer, before saying, "Why would I ever apologize to a weakling pervert like you?!" SMACK! "NOOOOOOOO!" Once again the round of spankings began, except this time Alex spanked her even harder, making the rest of the girls pale as they watched Kokoa's ass become increasingly red, even prompting Mizore to cover her own butt as if to protect it from him. At one point Moka was about to ask Alex to let up on Kokoa, however the second she took a step forward he looked at her and slowly shook his head, before saying, "You three should head back to class, Kurumu can you tell my next class that I'll be late, and that they're to do these exercises?" He then listen off a series of warm ups and exercises that the class would do, which Alex wasn't concerned that they would just laze around since pretty much no student in the academy would readily ignore what he told them. With Kurumu and Mizore basically dragging the still concerned Moka away, Kokoa desperately cried out, "NO! WAIT! TAKE ME WITH YOU!!!" SMACK! "NOOOOOOOOOO!!!" And so the punishment continued, with Alex occasionally telling Kokoa that he'd stop if she apologized, except that she would either refuse to or insult him once more, which only prolonged her suffering. Naturally even Alex was aware that this lengthy punishment would be considered 'too much' for simply being called a weakling, and, while that was undoubtedly a part of it, he had a bigger reason for doing what he was doing. As such, the sound of his hand smacking her rump continued to echo through the trees, until finally Alex heard, "rry...." Alex then paused the spankings and said, "Sorry? I didn't catch that." There was a slight pause as if Kokoa was contemplating repeating what she had said, before she finally muttered in her quietest voice possible, "...i said I'm sorry....." Once again Alex's reply was, "One more time, I'm a little deaf in this-" "I SAID I'M SORRY, SO PLEASE STOP SPANKING ME!!!" As she had finally apologized Alex didn't prolong her suffering even further, and released his hold on her arms so that Kokoa could finally get back up. Surprisingly the first thing she did wasn't retrieving her discarded skirt and panties, but instead she used both hands to start rubbing her cherry red butt, either unaware or uncaring that her privates were still completely exposed. While giving her a deadpan stare, Alex then stated as Kokoa was wincing slightly from pain in her butt, "Do you know why I punished you?" This made her jump slightly as if she had been shocked, but then Kokoa said while looking down to avoid Alex's gaze, "Because I called you a weakling..." Alex however shook his head and replied, "That is a part of it, but the main reason I punished you so harshly was because of your selfish and bratty attitude." Kokoa then looked up sharply at the word 'bratty', before she stated firmly as if she had forgotten the punishment she had just received, "I am not a BRAT!" The last word echoing through the trees from being yelled, while Kokoa looked Alex directly in the eyes as if she was once again challenging him for calling her a brat. Smirking slightly from her reaction, Alex then asked her, "And how exactly are you not a 'brat'? You destroyed the schools property for no real reason other than because you felt like it, and I'll even bet you don't have any intention of fixing or paying for it yourself, you then attacked not only your own sister with the intent to kill for no reason, but even risked the safety of those around her and attacked me just because you wanted to. If this isn't bratty behavior then what is?" This made Kokoa go quiet in contemplation, however instead of thinking on her actions, she was trying to think of ways to reason that none of this was the actual case, further proving Alex's point. Though the current examples Alex had to explain Kokoa's brattiness were limited, there was also a plethora of instances to chose from in the original timeline to back up his point. Not only had Kokoa chased and attacked Moka at every school she had attended until now, but her attitude combined with her own pride, arrogance, and even her obsession with her older sister had backed her into dangerous circ.u.mstances several times, with the time she tried to take on a trio of killer bank robbers alone with SEALED Moka being at the very top of the list. She would also readily dismiss anyone around Moka due to them being 'weaklings' compared to the powerful vampires, regularly coming up with random plans to try and separate Moka from them to try and get her beloved big sisterinner Moka back. Despite how 'bratty' and selfish Kokoa was however, Alex didn't blame her for it as the majority of the responsibility, as usual, fell onto her parents shoulders. Gyokuro had originally only had Kokoa as an attempt to gain back Issa's attention from Akasha and Moka, however when that failed she took out her irritation on her innocent daughter, criticizing all of her faults while also refusing to help her become better, and meanwhile praising her other daughter Kahlua for those same faults. While Gyokuro couldn't care less about her, and Issa was busy running the Shuzen family, this meant that the only ones Kokoa had to interact with was her sisters, however Akua only had eyes for Moka, and Kahlua actually terrified Kokoa due to her....unique fighting style. This left only Moka for Kokoa to play with every day, which consisted pretty much only of them fighting together; which meant that once Moka was sealed and sent to the human world, Kokoa was only surrounded by those who either didn't care for or terrified her. Despite knowing all of this Alex had no intention to give Kokoa a chance to wave away her bad behavior, as then she would only become an annoyance for those that had to put up with her. That was why he intended to try and get her to acknowledge him as an authority figure that wouldn't accept her acting out, because then she might start to actually attempt to mature if she knew her selfishness and brattiness wouldn't be tolerated, or at least that was what he hoped. Looking at Kokoa as she still thought about the things Alex had pointed out, he nearly sighed before asking, "So, did you think about the things I mentioned?" Unsurprisingly Kokoa smirked and stated in response, "Yeah, and I don't really see what the big deal is, I mean I'm sure the school can afford to replace a table or two, and there's no way my amazing big sis would actually be threatened by an attack only of that level. As for those weaklings, if they couldn't take an attack like that without dying then they only had themselves to blame for being so weak, and you were able to beat me in the end so no problem!" Smiling as she finished speaking as if she wrapped up her argument in a nice little bow, Alex's face was expressionless as he looked down at the ground, before he slowly looked back up at her. Even though he wasn't emitting any kind of aura or intent, the moment Kokoa saw the look on Alex's face it felt as if her insides froze as the feeling of dread suddenly assaulted her. Immediately, the most intense killing intent Kokoa had ever felt was suddenly brought down on her, causing her fall back on her still sore butt in the dirt as fear like she had never known welled up within her. Alex then stood and slowly started walking towards her while saying in a deathly calm voice, "Moka is sealed, and the only two outcomes of you attacking her like that are either she dies, or you get what you want and the seal breaks, unsealing Moka while also releasing the greatest threat this world had ever seen.

Though Kokoa had just barely managed to hold out under the force of Alex's killing intent until now, when he actually started mentioning killing her for her actions her bladder emptied itself suddenly before she stuttered, "I-I-I-I-I JUST WANTED MY BIG SISTER BACK!

While normally Alex would let the girls feed on him until they were full, he still had to return to his usual duties as a teacher even though he had already missed an entire class, and so after several minutes he then tired to pry Kokoa off of him despite her clinging to him as if with the jaws of life. Surprisingly she retained her hold as if her strength had multiplied in less than an hour, dumbfounding Alex at her tenacity towards sucking more of his blood until he decided to try somethings else. Alex then slapped her still exposed bottom sharply, earning him a yelp from Kokoa as she literally jump a few inches off of his leg before falling back down on him, and giving him the stink eye for slapping her butt again. Alex laughed out loud at her expression, before saying, "Don't look at me like that, give it a year or two and you'll probably love being spanked." "Not on your life." Kokoa grumbled, not yet realizing just how wrong she was about Alex's prediction. She then got up onto her feet awkwardly as by this point she had not only been without both her skirt and panties in front of a guy she had just met for well over an hour now, but she had even wet herself and then crawled onto and straddled Alex's leg for quite a while during that time, sitting with her privates rubbing directly against Alex's bare leg since he was wearing shorts. For the first time Kokoa seemed to feel embarrassment at what was going on, while Alex was acting as casually as always as he dusted himself off and said, "I'll take us to my office and you can clean up and get dressed there, after that you can either wait there patiently or follow me around as long as you're quiet. Once school is over we'll meet up with Moka and actually discuss what is going on." Though Kokoa didn't understand what Alex meant by what was actually going on, she just nodded silently as she collected her skirt and panties while her bat familiar Kou perched itself on top of her head since everything had settled down, and rejoined Alex as he teleported them directly to his office. If Kokoa knew anything about magic then she probably might have been impressed with Alex's instantaneous teleportation without any prep beforehand, instead her attention was centered on the steaming hot tub of water that he produced for her, which was obviously treated for vampires. He then used a rag and water to clean the filth off his own leg, making Kokoa genuinely blush for the first time, before leaving her some privacy as he joined the class that was patiently waiting for their teachers arrival. After around twenty or so minutes Kokoa left Alex's office to come and find him, as patience had never been her strong suit, where she then shadowed him for the rest of the school day. Naturally the young girl following him around earned Alex a few questions, however he just waved them away by saying she was Moka's little sister who came for a surprise visit, and that he was watching over her until school was over for the day, which was basically the truth. The one who was the most shocked by this scene however was Moka herself, who just so happened to glance out of the window by her seat, when she saw Alex teaching his class while Kokoa seemed to follow him around almost as if like a lost puppy. Moka was so distracted by this strange scene, that she almost missed it when the teacher called on her to answer a question. Eventually the long school day finally came to an end, and once Moka saw Kokoa and Alex she immediately put on a smile and came up to the duo to finally be able to get her little sister properly. All she as the 'outer' personality wanted was to be able to be regular sisters with Kokoa, even though she couldn't fight with her like Kokoa wanted; and so when she saw Kokoa acting so docile Moka got excited that they'd be able to finally have the sisterhood she always wanted, until Kokoa hid behind Alex's back with only the top part of her head sticking out to glare at her menacingly. Before either one could say anything to the other, Alex gave Kokoa a look due to her actions, causing the young vampire to practically wilt as he stated, "Even if she isn't the same sister you grew up with, she is still Moka and she really wanted to see and interact with her little sister properly, so at least give her a chance." Not wanting to get scolded by Alex once again that day, Kokoa reluctantly came out from behind him while grumbling slightly before saying, "Hello big sis..." Happy that Kokoa finally acknowledged 'her' as her big sister, Moka beamed before quickly wrapping her arms around Kokoa's body, causing the young vampiress to tense slightly for several seconds. After a few seconds of watching the sisters embrace, Alex finally said, "Ok, now let's head home so we can explain things to Kokoa and she could tell us why she's here as well." Kokoa then looked at Alex weirdly, before stating as if it was obvious, "I came her because this is where my big sis was." Alex smiled wryly in response to what she said, however he knew it was more than that. Originally Kokoa wouldn't arrive at Youkai Academy for almost another entire year, meaning something out of the norm had to have happened for her to arrive this quickly instead. Staying silent for the time being however, he then brought the five of them to Asora, and then directly into the space-time orb despite Kokoa's many questions. What followed was a series of introductions, questions, and then explanations as Alex told Kokoa why Moka had been sealed, and that he planned to undo the seal himself in the near future. Naturally Kokoa didn't want to wait until then to undo the seal, but a stern look from Alex and the rambunctious vampire quickly settled down, after which Alex promised that if Kokoa could stay out of trouble then she'd be able to fight both him and 'inner' once a month due to her deciding to stay inside the space-time orb to train. Whenever Alex and Moka weren't there though she'd train with Shia, Koneko, and Routier, a trio that looked at Kokoa with malicious smiles when she accidentally made the comment about how weak they looked. After all of the excitement of Kokoa's arrival she and Moka retired to the latter's room for bed, while Alex dragged Akua to a side room with the rest of his peerage. He then asked seriously, "Why would Gyokuro send Kokoa here now?" Akua was silent for several minutes as she pondered Alex's question, something she herself couldn't help but wonder. Unlike her Kokoa wasn't a part of Fairy Tale and hadn't really distinguished herself to the other members of the house of Shuzen as a capable assassin, and so the reason Gyokuro baited Kokoa to them was mysterious. After thinking about it for several minutes Akua finally theorized, "Well it might have something to do with the fact that I didn't report anything from the academy before going missing. My original reason for coming here was to investigate Kiria's situation and to see if there were any traces of you here since all we knew was what you looked like, and that you were strong. What I don't understand however is why she sent Kokoa of all people..." As Akua then fell into silent contemplation, everyone thought on what she said along with what Kokoa had told them earlier. Naturally the young vampiress had no idea that not only was her own mother the leader of an evil organization while two of her sisters were also a part of it, but even the man she had been calling father for the last few years was a fake, something she hadn't been able to notice due to her focus on finding Moka, and how little time she would spend with him to begin with. She had then readily revealed that it was her own mother that had lured her there with the fact that Moka was at the academy, something Akua immediately considered fishy. Eventually Rias hesitantly spoke up, earning every eye on her as she said, "Maybe she decided to use Kokoa as a sacrificial pawn or spy without her even being aware of it?" Though it sounded like an idea that was quite out there, Akua nodded before adding thoughtfully, "It would actually make sense, as my stepmother only really cares about waking up Alucard anymore, and since she never really cared about Kokoa, who wasn't in on the plans to unleash him, then if she died or something Gyokuro might have considered it no great loss to her or Fairy Tale. Contrarily, if she calls back Kokoa in a few days or so, then she'd be able to question her for information regarding anyone matching Alex's description at the academy, either that or just use the chance to see for herself while personally picking up a disobedient daughter." Everyone's expressions then darkened when they heard about how readily Gyokuro seemed to be willing to throw away her daughter, however their anger paled in comparison to a certain silver haired maid, who was radiating a powerful killing intent from her entire body. As a mother herself Grayfia would give up her own life in a heartbeat if it meant Millicas would remain safe and sound, however, hearing about a mother who would readily send her own daughter to her death, and not even care if she did die, had royally pissed her off. Looking around at the heavy atmosphere her words had created, Akua then suddenly stood up and said once everyone was looking at her, "Well, it was just a theory. Regardless of what she was thinking I'm not gonna worry about it and just go to bed, goodnight!" After stating that Akua swiftly disappeared, as she went to join Moka and Kokoa in bed to cuddle with the pink haired vampiress, leaving everyone else to think on what she said. After a moment however Kuroka, who was sitting to Alex's immediate right, pinched his side lightly and asked, "So, how do you feel now that you have an entire trio of sisters to play with~Nya?" This question immediately earned Alex the attention of every girl in the room, to which he casually answered, "Eh, personally I'd prefer having the entire set as a quartet." Despite the fact that they were all aware that Alex was mostly just joking, his comment still earned him a triple set of pinches from Kuroka to his right, Shizuku from his left, and Yue who had taken her usual spot on his lap. This made him smile wryly as Shia spoke up, "Now that you mention it, all of these sisters seem to be pretty 'unusual', I wonder if the forth one is at least somewhat normal?" Everyone was silent as they thought on Shia's observations, with Akua being a yandere romantically obsessed with her little sister, Kokoa being a battle junky who was also obsessed with her sister, just not psychotically so like Akua; and then there was Moka who was fairly normal, if one forgot about the fact that she actually had two different personalities and was the only thing preventing the rise of the most powerful and evil being on the planet. Alex however chuckled at Shia's question before stating plainly, "Actually, I wouldn't hesitate to say that the forth sister, Kahlua, is probably the most insane one of them all. Take this for an example, she normally wouldn't even be able to hurt a fly, but she is also the top assassins of her entire family." The girls were silent as they pondered what Alex had told them, until finally Grayfia asked, "How does one transition from being unable to even hurt a fly, to being a top tier assassin in the blink of an eye?" This earned a smirk from Alex as he explained, "Because of Gyokuro's upbringing. While she's normally the sweetest and most naive one of the four sisters, if she goes into her berserk mode then she'll readily slaughter anything around her with no remorse or regard for her own safety, including the people she loves the most like her sisters. Truth be told she is probably the most terrifying one to face in a fight because of her fighting style, since she usually tries to cope through murdering people by crying while she fights..." As Alex trailed off the girls looked thoughtful as they took in what he said, while Alex himself thought back on Kahlua's circ.u.mstances, which could easily make her one of the most tragic people in the Rosario Vampire world to the point where they would probably need to use Spirit magic to help her recover from the years of brainwashing and manipulation at her mother's hands. He then shook his head lightly and shelved the matter of Kahlua for later, before pulling both Kuroka and Shizuku closer and saying, "Enough of that for now, I have a job for you two tomorrow." Though Kuroka rolled her eyes at getting yet another thing to worry about, Shizuku looked up slightly when Alex said he needed her.
