This is one way to get to know your sisters...
Summary:
Inside Moka's dream world, Lord Shuzen (Moka's dad) welcome Akuha into his castle which happens to be the only vampire gathering place in Japan. Akuha greets her new sisters, stating that she was raised in China and is glad to have a family now. Meanwhile, Tsukune, Mizore, and Dongfang Bubai are watching from outside a window. Mizore is a bit surprised because vampires have a fearsome reputation, and Dongfang Bubai confirms it, stating that vampires are a violence-loving breed and their reputation is well known among the criminal world in Asia. As if on cue, Lord Shuzen orders Akuha to fight Kahlua. Kahlua is reluctant but is forced to defend herself as Akuha goes on the attack with her kungfu. Akuha catches Kahlua with a powerful blow to the midsection, but Kahlua becomes charmed and opens a cut on Akuha's shoulder with a punch. Akuha is ready to step up her game, but Lord Shuzen calls a stop to the fight because he already has a good idea of how strong Akuha is. After telling his daughters to get some rest, Mr. Shuzen receives a report of intruders on castle grounds, and he orders his underlings to deal with the intruders. Outside the window, Tsukune wonder if he was the intruder the vampires were referring to, but Dongfang Bubai said it was impossible as this is a replay of Moka's memories.
In the real world, Kurumu, Yukari, Fanfan and Linlin are trying to get Tsukune, Moka, Mizore and Dongfang Bubai to wake up, but the three remain unconscious. Even worse, Fanfan receives the news that the Miao family has arrived at the mansion for unknown reasons. In front of the Wong family mansion, a hooded woman gets out of a car and notes that Moka is inside the mansion. The woman then assumes the leader's position and leads the Miao henchmen towards the mansion. Back inside the mansion, Linlin is worried that the dreaming trio won't be able to escape if the Miao family busts into the mansion. Kurumu then frantically tries to get Tsukune to wake up but to no avail.
That is one scary little girl.
Back inside the dream world, the young Moka is walking in the woods trying to find the intruder (Tsukune), but suddenly she is captured by five Chinese speaking youkai. From the sky, Tsukune sees this and wants to interfere but he is held back by Dongfang Bubai. The leader of the intruders reveals to Moka that his group is here to kill Akuha and wonders if Moka knows where she is, but another youkai grabs Moka and wants to kill her. Moka is unable to fight back because she was smothered with a drug earlier, but Akuha suddenly appears out of nowhere and kills the youkai. Akuha largely ignores the other intruders and goes to check on Moka, stating that she's sorry that her past has caused Moka trouble. Moka then quickly defeats all the intruders without breaking a sweat, and Moka is both frightened and amazed by Akuha's power. After downing all the intruders, Akuha gives Moka a hug, and Moka thanks Akuha for rescuing her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The story between Moka and Akuha is starting to unravel, but the big reveal is yet to come. So Akuha turns out to be quite the piece of work: a kungfu gangster girl who has a history in the Chinese underworld. No wonder she looks so devious. We don't really know the details of Moka and Akuha's relationship, but it's obvious that Akuha has an interest in both Moka and Akasha. If the story follows a predictable manner, there will be some sort of traumatic event somewhere down the road. While Tsukune's group is busy going down Moka's memory lane, it looks like the older Akuha is coming after them in the real world with the help of the Miao family. I wonder what Akuha looks like nowadays. The story is ramping up in both worlds, and hopefully it'll build up in a nice battle.
Overall, this was a decent storyline/flashback chapter. Looks like Rosario + Vampire is finally back on track after a string of non-serious/fillerish chapters.
