Author's note: I'm totally new to fanfic, but I love this series. This is the first time I've published my writing, so give me some feedback. If you have any questions, then message me. I plan on releasing new chapters to this and other fanfics weekly, maybe biweekly.

I, DrakeAdamsTDK, do not own Rosario+Vampire or any related products. They are the property of the crazy awesome Akihisa Ikeda. I do, however, own Drake Adams and all other unfamiliar characters in this story. If you use them without my permission, or without giving me credit for their creation, I will find you and feed you to Alucard. Without further adieu, here's the story.

The School Vampire

I was standing on a flying fortress, surrounded by friends I've never met. We won. We survived and now we could go home. A sudden onset of overwhelming energy came over us. We all drop to our knees, unable to even stand under the pressure. I forced myself to my feet, barely able to keep myself from falling again. A man approaches, he wears a mask, hiding his face. He is dragging some poor old SOB behind him. He stops, reaches for the mask. He pulls it away, and piercing red orbs stare at me.

#~#~#

I bolt upright in my seat, gasping for air. I could feel the blood rush through my veins with every rapid beat of my heart. God I hate that dream. It's happened every time I've closed my eyes for the past month. I can barely take it anymore.

"Hey kid," a voice called from the front of the bus. It was the driver. Creepy guy. "You the new student?"

"Yeah."

"Well I should warn you now, Yokai is one hell of a scaaary place!" He said as we pulled out of a tunnel and onto a cliffside. "We've arrived, sonny boy. Be careful."

I got off the bus and stood by a pumpkin-headed scarecrow as the bus drove off. I looked at the signs on it. Yokai Private Academy. It sure was private. Nothing around here at all. Just forests of dead and twisted trees. And an ocean of...blood!? Okay, that's pretty unusual. But I've seen worse. Disregarding all of the unusual things about this place, I headed toward the school on haunted hill.

#~#~#

I was walking down a path surrounded by rotting trees and gravestones. Bats chittered and ravens squawked as they flew by overhead. I sighed, tugging at my mint green blazer. I hated the uniform; a blazer over a white dress shirt and black tie with khaki pants and black dress shoes. Very different from my usual attire; a zip up hoodie, t-shirt and jeans with skater shoes. Well it's the only school that would take me, so I guess I'll have to deal with it. I heard a bell ringing behind me and turned to get hit by a bike. I skidded to a stop and dusted myself off as I stood.

"You okay?" I asked the girl that crashed into me. She had long pink hair and wore the girl's uniform. She looked at me with bright green eyes, damn she was cute.

"Yeah, I'm fine," she said as I helped her up, "Oh, your bleeding! Let me..." she said pulling out a handkerchief to wipe the blood, but she stopped, seemingly mesmerized. Without reason, she pounced on me and bit into the flesh of my neck.

"What the hell!?" I asked through gritted teeth.

She pulled away, turning red with embarrassment.

"Sorry, it's just...the smell of your blood was so intoxicating that I couldn't help myself and-"

"Hold on a second, you're talking like a Vampire."

"But I am."

"I'm sorry, what?" I asked, confused.

"I'm a Vampire!" She said, biting me again.

She realized what she was doing again and pulled away.

"Sorry, your blood just tastes so good!"

"Yeah, it's fine...I guess...just try not to do it, okay?"

"Okay."

"By the way, I'm Drake," I said, then stopped, remembering I'm in Japan, "But by your customs, i guess I'd be Adams Drake."

"I'm Akashiya Moka."

"Nice to meet you, maybe I'll see you at the entrance ceremony. See ya."

Well, this day just got more interesting.

#~#~#

I was sitting in class 1-3, homeroom. The teacher was pretty eccentric. I was in the back, looking out the window. Looks like someone dropped their notebook. Creepy cover.

"...As you probably know already, Yokai Academy is a school specifically for Monsters!" She said, gaining my attention.

School for Monsters? What the hell did she mean by that?

"Hey teach, why don't we just eat the Humans, and for the girls, it would be better to molest them," a large idiot with a dozen piercings in his face said.

"All the students and teachers at the academy are monsters, there are no genuine humans. This school is hidden in a secrect, sacred world. Humans can never enter here, and even if they did, they would be put to death...or something," the teacher, Nekonome-sensei, said.

'How the hell did I end up here? Oh yeah,' I thought to myself as I remembered how I got into this situation.

My adoptive father found an ad for this school online after I had gotten kicked out of yet another high school. It was either move the entire family, or send me to Japan to go to school. So here I am.

"Sorry I'm late," a girl said, rushing into the class and snapping me back to reality.

"It's fine, just take a seat. I think there's a free one in the back."

I looked to the new arrival. "Moka?"

She turned to me. "Drake!" She said as she pounced at me and hugged me tight. The guys, and even some of the girls, in the class stared at me in rage.

Things just got even more interesting.

#~#~#

Moka had her arm linked with mine. She was dragging me through the school, amazed by everything she saw. The other students commented on how attractive Moka was and wondering why I was with her. I didn't care though.

"Hey, you're Akashiya Moka right?" The oaf from earlier asked, "I'm Komiya Saizou! By the way, why is a beautiful lady like you associating with a guy like him?" He said, grabbing my collar.

I snatched his wrist, ripping it from my collar.

"Don't fuck with me, jackass."

He actually had a look of fear for half a second, but recovered and shoved me to the side. I clenched my fists, ready to get expelled from another school, then remembered this was a school for Monsters. Who knows how strong he could be? I don't intend to find out. Not without good reason anyway.

"Why don't the two of us go have some fun somewhere alone?" He asked Moka.

She grabbed my hand and hauled me away saying, "I'm sorry, I'm having fun with Drake now!"

She brought us to the stairwell and we stood under the stairs, catching our breath.

"That was surprising wasn't it? I got a little scared. Are you okay?" She asked.

"I've been through worse," I said, pointing to a spot on my stomach, "there's a scar there from a knife-fight I got into a couple years ago. That was bad, this was nothing." We were quiet for a moment, the only sound being our own breathing. Finally, curiosity hit me and I had to ask. "Hey, Moka...why are you so friendly to me? I'm just some American who's out of options. I'm about as worthless as they come."

"Don't say that! You're not worthless or anything!...besides...we're on blood sucking terms!" She said. There goes the touchy feely moment. "Be proud of yourself! Your blood is perfection! Better than anything from transfusion packs! It's full bodied and sweet and-"

"Am I food?" I asked, jokingly.

"Well...you're actually my first..."

First? I don't remember doing-

"The first person whose body I drank from. That feeling...I'll never forget it!"

Oh, that makes sense.

"Let's check out the rest of the academy!" She said, running off again.

#~#~#

"Look, Drake. There's the dorm we'll be living in!" Moka said, pointing to a creepy building surrounded by more dead trees.

"Living in a haunted house, how fun," I said sarcastically.

"So cool! Such a building full of character and dignity!" She said, marveling at the dorm.

"Are we looking at the same building?" I asked.

"What? You don't like it, even though you're a Monster? Speaking of which, what kind of Monster are you?"

Crap. Wait, school rules say you can't reveal your Monster form to anyone. For once, the rules saved me.

"Can't tell you, against the rules."

"Oh yeah, sorry."

"You know, I can't see you as anything other than a normal human, Moka. Are you really a Vampire?"

"Of course, I look pretty human now but if I take this rosary off, I turn into a true and terrifying Vampire," she said, pointing to the cross on her chest. "But even if our power is sealed, we still crave blood," she said, biting me yet again.

#~#~#

The next day. Didn't get much sleep. Tried to avoid the dream. The more I think about it, the more I think Moka might have been in that dream. But that's impossible, I've been having that dream much longer than I've known Moka. I was walking to class from the dorms when I noticed Komiya leaning against a tree. He saw me and grabbed my tie, flinging me into the concrete wall.

"Looks like you had a lot of fun with Akashiya Moka yesterday, now you're gonna pay for it today! Your true form, what is your true form!?" He asked, seething with rage.

I stared him down, calm as ever. "I'm a Vampire."

His hand trembled and fear contorted his face. He threw a punch, but I easily dodged. The blow made a deep crater in the wall. Shit, do not want to get hit by that. The wall crumbled and fell apart in the next instance. Really don't want to get hit by that.

"Vampire you say!? Vampires are immortal Monsters from your western world! It's even said they are the most powerful of Monsters! Are you such a Vampire!?" He asked as his hand grew and he prepared to kill me. I stood my ground, didn't even flinch. "Stay away from Moka. You talk to her again, and you're dead boy!"

I watched him walk off. I let out a sigh of relief, been some time since I was nearly killed.

'Time to play chicken with a train,' I thought as I went to find Moka.

#~#~#

"Drake!" Moka yelled as she hugged me again, "If we don't hurry, we're going to be late!"

"Before that, I want to ask you something. Why does it seem that all the Monsters here hate Humans? You don't mind them, do you?"

She stopped in her tracks, becoming uncharacteristically quiet. It seemed she was remembering something pretty bad.

"I hate those Humans!" She yelled. Unexpected. "You know...I actually went to a Human school up through middle school. I was so isolated. None of them believed in Monsters, so I started to think I was weird, and that it would be better if I wasn't there. I just wanted to disappear. But you said I was alright even though you found out I'm a Vampire. This has been the first time in my life that I haven't felt alone!"

Against better judgment, I should tell her.

"Moka...what if I told you that...I'm...one of those Humans you hate so much? Would you still think of me as your friend?"

She stood quiet, waiting for the inevitable.

"I'm Human."

"No, there's no way! A Human could never be here!" She said, trying to deny the truth.

"You know it's true. I'm sorry, I guess you have to be alone a little longer," I said, walking away.

She stood there, too stunned to moved. Goodbye, Moka.

#~#~#

I was sitting under a tree near the spot I was dropped off yesterday. I was skipping class today. Too much to think about. I might leave the academy. I'm used to being alone, but here is a different story. If Moka were with me...but I doubt she'll ever even want to see me again. A scream rang out through the forest. That can't be good. I ran to the source of the scream to see a huge muscular abomination giving Moka a literal tongue lashing.

"Back away from her!" I said, my threateningly deep voice making him turn to me. It was Komiya.

"What the hell are you doing here, wannabe Vampire!?" He said, lumbering over to me.

"Leave Moka alone. That is your final warning."

"Please, do you really think I'm scared of you!?" He yelled as he raised his massive hand and swiped me across the clearing into the rocky hillside.

I coughed a mouthful of blood onto the ground next to me, then rose to me feet, unwilling to let myself lose. Moka ran to me, and I fell into her arms.

"This is horrible! Even though you came to help me, you ended up like this! I guess we really can't be friends. After all, I'm a Vampire, I suck your blood and do nothing but hurt you," she said, tears rolling down her cheeks.

"I don't care...if I get hurt...as long as you're okay, Moka," I said as my vision faded. I saw the glint of the red gem in Moka's rosary and remembered what she had said. I reached for it, gripping the cross tight.

'Here goes nothing,' I thought as I yanked the rosary.

There was a snap as the metal link gave way and I fell to the ground with the rosary in hand. Moka looked at me, surprised. Then screamed as a beam of energy burst from her and into the sky. Her hair turned silver as her body became even more attractive. She looked to Komiya with crimson eyes and slit pupils. She ran her tongue over her newly grown fangs and prepared for a fight.

Komiya stood paralyzed by fear. "A true super Vampire!? Whoa, get a hold of yourself, imagine the kind of cred you could get if you took out a Vampire!" He said to himself, his body shaking.

"What's the matter, rogue one? Why don't you try to take me, by force?" She asked, mockingly.

He lunged, ready to deliver a powerful punch to Moka. She didn't move, just stood there. The hit connected, a blast of wind rushed by, but Moka didn't even move. She had blocked the blow with a single hand.

"A low-class Monster like you has no power to show for his size," she said, yanking him closer, "Learn your place!" She yelled as she delivered a kick to his jaw that sent him through several trees and cratered the earth.

She walked to me.

"You must be the one who released me," she said as she took the rosary.

"Yeah, that would be me," I said, feeling the pain of broken ribs with every word.

"Until we meet again, take care of the other sentimental Moka," she said as she clipped the rosary back in place. The massive amount of energy disappeared as she returned to her previous appearance.

She fell into my arms, unconscious after using her power for the first time in ages.

"Maybe I could stay a little longer."

#~#~#

I stood in the hall, waiting as I had become accustomed.

"Drake! Morning," Moka yelled as she hugged me.

"Let's get to class," I said as she let go.

"First, let me..." she trailed off as she leaned closer to me.

"Ah!" I yelled as she bit my neck and drank my blood again.

Life at Yokai sure is gonna be interesting.
