4''Here In My Arms'', which can be read [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5235165/1/Here_In_My_Arms here]], is a ''Manga/RosarioPlusVampire'' fanfiction story by [[http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1508625/Platinumsabr Plantinumsabr]]. One faithful day, Tsukune finally takes the plunge and [[LoveConfession admits his feelings to Moka]] ([[SplitPersonality both of them]]). However, Inner Moka turns him down on the account of their different races (he's human, she's vampire), or at least can never be her equal. Tsukune feels alone and rejected, Moka is ashamed of herself, and the other girls are alternating between pity and rage over what has happened. Days later, Tsukune makes a 'do or die' ultimatum, as it's the only way he can make himself Moka's equal; become a Vampire.

6The result was unlike anyone had expected, as he gained the [[SuperpowerLottery unique powers]] of a Blood Sage; [[AllYourPowersCombined the ability to use the powers of Ayashi through the blood they drink.]] Tsukune spends the next few days trying to adapt to this change and Moka gives him a chance for reciprocate his feelings; to beat her in battle.
