Hey guys crusader here. Just to let you all know I did not fall off the face of the earth, yet. I'm still around it's just with school (ugh) and finals (bigger ugh) writers block and a computer crash to top it all off, updating has been very hard for me. This is my second piece of fanfiction so read and review with an open mind.

I don't own Rosario Vampire, just my OC.

The bus was rumbling through the dead air. The driver looked to the back to the passenger. He was a teenage European boy who wore a black and gold long sleeved shirt with a cross on it and had jet-black hair. Around his neck was a golden gothic cross pendant suspended on a long chain.

"You're heading to Youkai Academy?" he asked the youth.

The teenager only looked up and nodded "Mm-hm"

"Well, I think it's only fair to warn you that you should prepare yourself, Youkai Academy can be a very scary place."

"Hmm," was all the boy did to acknowledge his words before looking out the window.

Finally, they had arrived at the school. "Good luck, you'll need it if you want to survive." The driver told the youth as he stepped off. "I'll keep that in mind." He waved dismissively at the driver. As the bus drove off into the distance, he took a look at the building perched on the cliff in front of him which looked more like a gothic castle. "Youkai Academy huh?".

On the edge of the cliff was a woman who was dressed mostly in loligoth. The young man wasn't sure if some one who was an official could actually dress up like that. "Welcome to Youkai Academy," she said brightly. "I am Ruby, assistant to the Chairman who is in charge here. I will be your guide. I'm sorry but I didn't get your name, what was it?

"Dante." The boy replied "Dante Krausman."

In the classroom, Tsukune Aono was finally sitting down getting some much needed relief from the morning routine which consisted of Moka sucking his blood, which angered the succubus Kurumu which sparked a fight between the two, soon to be joined by the stalking snow girl Mizore, and finally topped off with the young witch Yukari. It was these incidents that occurred every day. The only calm was when class was in session. However not all would be according to routine to today.

"Class," said the feline teacher Ms. Nekonome "Today a new student will join our group, please, come in," she said to the door

The boy opened the door, then he walked and stopped at a distance from the sensei

Please, introduce yourself- Nekonome-sensei said happily. The new arrival gave a low bow.

"Hello." He said in surprisingly fluent Japanese. "My name is Dante Krausman, I come from Italy. It is very nice to meet you all." With that he walked back to his desk. Around him some of the students were talking about this new arrival.

"Wow, it's true what they say, all European boys are hot!"

"Big deal, he doesn't look so tough."

"Ooh, are you jealous?"

"Whatever…"

The subject however, paid no attention to the gossip, taking a seat beside Mizore. She did not notice but he did a quick double take at her before he sat down. Class went on relatively normal, or, as normal as it gets with a class full of monsters.

Later during lunch, the group met at a table. Well, that meaning Moka, Yukari, and Kurumu trying to get as close to Tsukune as they could and Mizore eating far off in the bushes.

Unbeknownst to them, an odd raven seemed to intently watch them with it's beady eye. Throughout their day, the strange bird followed them, eyeing them warily as they went about their business. Finally as they all went off to bed, it flew off. It flew a bit of ways until it reached Dante who was looking at a computer in his room. It flew straight towards him and then seemed to disappear. Dante's face had a myriad of expressions. At first he had one of joy and pleasantness.

"Yes, yes." He happily whispered "She's perfect." But then his joyful expression was lost and his face twisted into one of rage. "Unbelievable…" he muttered "Unacceptable!" he quickly stood up "Tsukune Aono, tonight your life ends!"

In Mizore's room, she was just getting ready for bed, after all, stalking Tsukune and fighting off Moka and Kurumu took a lot of energy! However just as she was about to go to bed, she noticed a shape outside of her window. Curious, she got up to see what it was.

"Who's there?"

Then, as she opened the window, a winged figure was standing before her…

Tsukune was winding down after a long days events. His thoughts lingered on the new student, there was something off about him. He just chalked it up to a weird feeling. Then, just as he was about to close his window, a dagger with a note attached to it flew into his room, just barely missing him.

"What the heck?!"

He recovered from the near death experience he just had (which happened quite often). He noticed the note and read it.

"Tsukune Aono, I have your dear Mizore Shirayuki. If you ever wish to see her again, come to the cemetery as soon as you read this note. I'll be waiting."

Tsukune sighed "Another challenge, I'd better get the others."

So what did you think? Did you like it? Any suggestions? I know this is short and kind of slow but the chapters will get longer and will pick up. For those of you who are wondering about Empire and Rebellion I am still working on that fic. However I have a bit of a block on the story for the moment so I'm concentrating on this fic for now.

Please read and review and let your reviews be without flames please!
