Hello Henri here with a new story (let's see if I regret producing more than one story at the time xD) So this story is going to be a SAO & R+V crossover. This will be the second story in this category, but the first were Kirito is going with a semi-canon backstory. ATTENTION! This is a slight AU, which means Asuna and Kirito are NOT together (I am too lazy to write a break up/tragic death or whatever) and I believe the pairing is rather obvious with the title. Asuna is just a friend for him like Lizbeth.

And there is another change in the SAO universe, but that one will be explained in the story.

A big motivator for this story was "My Snow Girl" from lord of the land of fire. It's a really great story and if you like the Tsukune x Mizore pairing it is a must read.

I will probably update this rather irregularly, mostly depending on my mood and how popular it gets :D

*story start*

'How did this happen again?' Kirito was wondering while sitting in an empty bus driving to a school with the oh so totally not ominous name Yokai Academy. The fact that the bus driver, a rather shady individual with a humour that would probably perfectly align with Argos, told him that Yokai Academy was a scary place didn't really bother him, he probably wanted to mess a little bit with him, but it didn't reassure him either. He really wanted to go to school with his friends, but because of the high hospitals bills his parents had to pay he couldn't bring himself to turn down the offer from the school with a full scholarship with the only conditions being attending the school and achieving moderate grades, both not a problem for him since he had more than above average grades in his old school and in the few months after waking up he was able to go over most of the subjects he missed in the last two years. He wouldn't ace the classes, but he was confident that he would at least be above the average student as long as the subject weren't too highly complicated.

That brought him back to remembering the cruelling tasks of rebuilding his muscles, which were still lacking. He could move his body without problems, but anything to straining was pretty impossible for him, which was proven when he went against his cousin Sugu at Kendo in their Dojo, just to find out that he could easily keep up with her movements and think of counters for pretty much every single one, but when he tried to enact one his body reacted way to slow and he lost the match without even getting a single point. It was a little depressing, in one world the strongest swordsman and in the other too weak to at least provide his sister with a serious fight.

Thinking about the other world reminded him again of the fact that he would never again be able to venture into it. After the SAO incident the company Argus maintained the servers and the government had prepared a relative high amount of money for the victims to pay the hospital bills. But then another VR incident happened. Argus wanted to revive the VR games with Alfheim Online, but a high-up employee from Argus tried to use the new Amuspheres to manipulate the brains and thoughts of the users and once that came to light the VR gaming industry was as good as dead. Nobody wanted to have anything to do with it and it is still being considered if VR should be banned by law or not because it is so dangerous.

Sadly that wasn't the only consequence from this second incident. Argus had to cut its loses to not go bankrupt, which happily didn't happen, that would have caused a lot of problems for Asuna since her father was the president and nobody, especially Kirito, would wish a friend that her father lost her job, but that caused Argus to stop maintaining the servers and the government had to take up that role. The money for that was provided from the fund that was formed to pay the hospital costs, which meant that the survivors had to pay quite an amount from their own pockets. His family was able to pay it, but if he was able to save them from school costs he would definitely do it and it wasn't like he wouldn't see his friends again. It was a boarding school, but they could still talk over the phone and skype once he set up his computer and he would be able to spent time with them on his holidays.

A sudden stop from the bus brought him out of his musings and back into reality where he noticed that he wasn't the only one to be picked up by the bus. 'Well at least I won't be alone for the rest of the ride'.

The girl that entered looked around the bus while rolling her lollipop in her mouth, observing the interior of the bus until she finally noticed him. Kirito was happy that he didn't need to spent the bus ride alone and spending it with a beautiful purple haired girl, with skin so white he could almost see through, was definitely not the worst possible outcome.

And the girl sat herself in one of the front rows of the bus, which meant if he wanted to talk to her and not yell over the entire bus to do so he would have to change his sitting position. There was the possibility that she was just shy and that was the reason she sat herself not to him or she didn't want anything to do with him. Well if it was the second option and she was annoyed by him he would just have to get back to his seat. 'Would be nice if I knew someone before school starts' he thought, since he wasn't the most social guy that existed. In his old school he was acquainted with some people, but a real friend he hadn't until SAO happened and he met Klein, Asuna and the others.

Not wanting to fall back into his old loner pattern (which only meant to him that he would a few/one good friend/s) he stood up and went to her seat.

"Hey, are you also a freshman in Yokai Academy?" she just looked at him, tilting her lollipop to the other side of her mouth before answering: "Yeah, since the welcoming ceremony is only for new students the second years and older students won't be coming until after today."

"Oh really? I didn't know that, I was kind of dragged into the school." Kirito said while putting his hand behind his head, an old habit of his that he just couldn't get rid of, more so he didn't notice it most of the time.

"Huh interesting, what happened?" 'Was he forced in here because he caused trouble in the human world? He doesn't look the type but maybe he is one of those that only act nice to make the others lower their guard' before the girls thoughts could turn to darker possibilities Kirito answered her question.

"I was in the hospital for the last two years and the costs were piling up and then I suddenly get a scholarship offer from Yokai Academy even though I didn't even register for it, hell I didn't even know this school existed."

"So you didn't get sent here because you caused troubles?"

"No, what gave you that idea? Is Yokai Academy a school for trouble children?"

"No, but you don't look like you would have any problems in a human school, so I thought since you were suddenly transferred here that something happened, but don't you think it's a little suspicious that you got an invention even though you didn't register for anything?"

"Yeah I was suspicious, but the offer was really good and came at the right time and what do you mean with human schoo-"

"Stop Yokai Academy, every student please get out! And be careful, Yokai is a reeaalllly scarrrrrryyy place." The bus driver interrupted Kirito, who now finally noticed that they were at their destination, he was so concentrated on the conversation that he had even ignored the fact that they had driven through a tunnel on their way here.

After getting out Kirito had already forgotten his earlier question and realized he had forgotten something else really important.

"Oh yeah I forgot to say it before but I'm Kirigaya Kazuto, but most of my friends call me Kirito so pick whatever you want." He put on a nice smile that solidified Mizores believe that her first thought about him were wrong and that he wasn't a monster that would cause problems or use her only to backstab her in the end. Somebody who did that couldn't smile in such a nice way and from what she saw so far of him she didn't believe him able to even do something like that, not to forget that she was a pretty good judge of a person's character.

"I'm Shirayuki Mizore, nice to meet you. Are you implying that we are friends? We just met each other."

"If you don't want to be my friend I understand it, but I thought it would be nice to have someone as a friend in a completely new school where you know nobody."

"No it doesn't bother, it would really be nice to have a friend in this school." 'Since I am not the most social person I probably would have ended up alone after the first day anyway, this school turns out to be pretty nice.' The smile Mizore got at that thought was the first one Kirito saw from her and he lost himself a little bit in it, until Mizore brought him back to reality.

"We should probably get going now or we are going to miss the welcoming ceremony, Kirito." The last bit was said a little quieter than the rest of the sentence, as if she was testing uncertain waters, not that Kirito noticed, he was more interested the fact that there was a lake next to the bus stop, he had to give props to whoever came up with its design, it fitted perfectly into the horror/mystery feeling the entire place was practically radiating, and that the lake wasn't blue or at least some shade of green, but red. The entire lake, as far as he was able to see was red and he was pretty sure that in the entirety of Japan existed no lake as big as this one with red water.

But it didn't stop there, the land looked barren, not one green spot and the trees looked like they were stolen from some horror movie set, not to forget about the fact that he could spot a gravestone in the woods. 'Oh man oh man where the fuck did I end up? Wouldn't be too strange if a zombie came crawling out of that grave any minute now, the surroundings were perfect for any zombie horror movie. I'm starting to believe Asuna was right when she said I am a trouble magnet.'

"Kirito!"

"Yes, sorry what?"

"I was just saying that we are probably going to be late to the entrance ceremony if we don't start going now."

"Oh right, thanks. I was just thinking about some things and how life just seems to get the kick out of it to send me trouble."

"Huh, what do you mean?"

"Some of my friends told me that trouble seeks me out and I am starting to believe them, first … did you hear that?"

"Hear what?"

"There it is again and I think it's coming closer."

"You're right, what could it be?" Mizore was just turning her head into the direction the noise was coming from, when an out of control bike came crushing through the woods, in a direct collision course with Kirito, who was again reminded of the fact that his body still wasn't back at full 100%, as he would be able to avoid the bike easily with his reflexes if it wasn't for his still weak body.

He could see the bike nearing him, seeing every detail of it. The schoolbag in the front, the pink colour of the bike, the girl riding the bike with the same school uniform he had got, her pink hair that fluttered in the wind, her slightly panicked eyes and the most eye catching, the tire that was steadily getting closer and closer to his face.

He cursed his physical condition again, bracing for impact, just to be saved by Mizore in the last second, who pulled him away just in the nick of time. "Phew, thanks a lot Mizore, that was a bit too close for my liking. My body is still way to weak from my stay in the hospital." He said the last part with a sight.

"No problem Kirito, that's what friends are good for." He smiled at her answer and looking after the shrinking form of the girl with the bike he could hear a faint sorry from her. 'Well at least she apologized for it.'

"Why do you think she was going so fast?" Kirito asked while they continued on their way to school, said way giving Kirito a feeling that he was walking through e cemetery, with the amount of graves and gravestones that were lying next to their way.

"Maybe she didn't want to miss the ceremony; it should have started right about now."

"Well looks like we won't be hearing the start of it then." He didn't really care, since welcoming ceremonies were mostly the same everywhere, he wouldn't miss anything important, since the homeroom teacher would probably repeat anything that would be important.

"Yup, probably."

And Kirito was right; he came into the hall only to see the turning back of a priest who had just ended the welcoming ceremony.

"Looks like we just missed it, do you know in which class you are?"

"Yeah, I'm in class 1 – 3. You?"

"I am also in 1 – 3. Wanna sit together?"

"Yeah sure, why not."

With that both of them made their way to their class, Kirito thanking his lucky stars that the exterior of the school didn't reflect on the interior, at first he had thought that the school would be pretty bad, the look fitted perfectly to the horror movie scene that he had seen until now, but the interior looked nice and new, just like any other school he knew.

Entering the class they noticed that they were one of the first to do so, most of the others were probably still scouting out the school and would here once the clock rung. Kirito took the second last seat from the window side and Mizore took the seat right next to him. They started chatting about everyday things until the class began to fill up and the homeroom teacher went in.

"Hello everyone and welcome to Yokai Academy! I am your homeroom teacher Shizuka Nekonome. I think you all already know this, but this is … a school built for the sake of monsters to attend!" she said that with a dazzling smile, happily flapping her ears and her tail that Kirito just now noticed and with probably the greatest effort he had ever to muster, he was able to supress a groan escaping his mouth. It just had to happen. Asuna, Lisbeth, Klein, Sugu and everyone else who said that he was seeking trouble or trouble was seeking him were proven right again to his dismay.

He gets a full scholarship in a boarding school and what happens? The school, with the name that sooo didn't hint at it, turns out to be a school full of monsters. It just had to happen, normal and boring just wasn't possible for him it seems.

Why he didn't believe the entire thing to be a joke? Well there were quite some reasons, but the main ones were:

Everybody beside him reacted like it was an established fact and some of them even nicked to her saying that.

She was still going on with it and explained that because of the sheer amount of humans monsters had to live in secret and that the goal of the school was to teach them how to coexist.

It just wasn't possible that something as good as full scholarship without registering for it didn't come with some strings attached.

Miss Nekonomes cat ears and her cat tail were moving so fluidly that he was either in a VR game again, which was impossible, or she was a monster and didn't follow the school rules about staying in human form, which she had just explained was mandatory, all to closely.

And it seemed the second guess was true, going by the fact that a student got his face redecorated by her claws when he pointed out that she herself wasn't following the rules.

Over a hundred possible schools he could have been attending and where does he end up? In the one and only Yokai Academy, the probably only monster Academy in the entirety of Japan.

Before he could further marvel in astonishment about his current situation a student decided that now was the perfect time to out himself as the "bad boy/school bully/thug" and Kirito had to give him that, he pulled of the picture perfectly, piercings, bad attitude, muscles, a look that switched between bored out of his mind and mean, depending on where he was looking, no he pulled of the school thug image perfectly. And if that look wasn't enough to convince somebody, then the next sentence from him would definitely do the trick.

"HEY TEACH, would it not be better for us to eat up those puny humans and in case of beautiful girls, better molest them?" and that was the moment Kirito knew, just knew that he wouldn't get along with him and probability of him fighting against him also skyrocketed.

"As I already said, individually it wouldn't be a problem, but humanity as a whole is to strong, simply by their numbers, that we monsters with our limited numbers wouldn't stand a chance, maybe with the help of the S class ones, but that would still kill a lot of us and the planet would probably be ruined by the end of the war." And Kirito had to wholeheartedly agree with her, monsters had way better quality fighters than humans, but quantity had a quality on its own and going by the fact that one monster Academy was enough for Japan or at least a big part of Japan their numbers where probably rather little compared to all the humans alive. So at least he didn't have to fear a war or something similar in the near future.

While thinking about all that the teacher had already continued with her speech, the gist of it was that they were in a separate dimension, at least that explained why he didn't have any connections with his phone, that was still a fact that made him quite unhappy about the school, that there were no humans on the campus, including students and teachers and the fact that if a human should wander in that he would be killed or something, yeah he managed to get the probably only airheaded teacher on the entire campus, but on the plus side she seemed rather nice and he was still contemplating if he should try putting tuna on her desk, only to see her reaction to it. Going by what he saw from her since class started she would probably delighted and forget about the class until she was finished with the tuna.

He wasn't too worried at the moment though, he may be in a school full of monsters, but they all had to be in their human forms, so as long as he didn't get into a fight nobody should notice him and beside the monster part they behaved like every other human he knew. If the teacher hadn't told him about it he would have probably only found out about it if he saw a monster without its human guise, so blending in shouldn't be too hard. And there was still the fact that he got a full scholarship and come on how many people can say for themselves that they lived and learned with monsters and he wasn't one who would back down frightened just because they were a bit stronger than him.

Another reason why he still wasn't running away with his destination being the bus stop was that that would have been way to easy and if he learned one thing in his two years in Aincrad, then that easy way out always had a problem or ten that would make that way a lot more costly instead of staying. Besides, he could try the school out and leave it after a few days, if worst came to worst he would have to rely on his new friend to save him, not that he planned on letting that happen, but now he was really glad that he talked to her and that they became fast friends.

And before he was able to further explain his decision to stay to himself the class was interrupted by a student that came into the class.

The girl entering looked slightly embarrassed and introduced herself to the class: "Sorry that I am late, but I got a little lost in the school building and it took some time to find this classroom." The class erupted with noise, at least the male part and cheers about like "Hot! She is too hot!" or "I am so happy to be in this class" could be heard. Some of the girls were also cheering for her and Kirito could understand them at least a bit. She might not have made the best first impression on him, almost driving over someone had such an effect, but she looked really cute going by the easy-going smile she was now sporting, she probably also had a pretty nice personality.

The Rosario on her bosom only complemented her looks, but Kirito had a feeling that that wasn't only an accessory for her looks, it had a kind of ominous feeling about it, it was like it radiated power that was barely restricted. 'It's probably sealing her power, which means she is probably a pretty powerful monster. Wouldn't have thought so going by her looks, who knows, maybe I'm overthinking things.'

She went over to the last free seat, which was coincidently behind him and the very moment she sat down he could feel a lot of killing intend coming in his direction. 'Well so much for blending in and not standing out.'

When he looked around the class he noticed that not everyone was giving him a glare, Saizo, as the brute had introduced himself before, was looking directly at Moka and the look he was giving her was enough for him to know Saizo was probably forced into the Academy, like some other Mizore had told him about and the feeling that he would fight him in one way or another just grew further.

Mizore was really interested in her new friend. Not romantically, at least not yet, she didn't rule out the possibility, the main reason she came to the Academy was to find herself a partner, but the entire time they were next to each other he didn't give of the slightest amount of yoki, which wasn't too suspicious since there were a lot of monster with a weak yoki signature and she wasn't the most sensitive to begin with, but coupled with the fact that he didn't know about Yokai Academy at all and the shock on his face, even if it lasted just a second and was then replaced by a look of someone who accepts his fate and wants to groan about it made for enough material to suspect that something was wrong.

She hadn't figured out what, but that would surely change and beside even if it wasn't for that little mystery she would still be interested in him. He was fun to talk with, seemed genially nice and his looks also weren't too bad. And she was a really good judge of people, came with the stalker business, so she knew that he being with him would definitely turn out to be interesting.

When class ended Kirito turned his attention to Mizore to ask her if she wanted to explore the school with him, only to find her seat empty. 'I think she could rival Argo with that, I didn't even notice her move.' Well then he was going to explore the school alone a bit, if he was lucky then the roof was open and if this school was like the others he was and heard about then that would be the perfect place to have a place for himself and an even better place to nap a little bit. Another of the habits he had picked up in SAO and he was sure as hell keeping that one, he just enjoyed them too much to stop.

After confirming that he indeed could get up on the roof he went to check out the student dorms, as far as he had seen and heard there were two dorms, one for the boys and one for the girls, both looking like they came from a horror movie, but the interior was probably as modern as in the school building.

And he was right, he got a nice clean room with everything he needed, beside a plug for an internet connection, which meant he could not only not use his phone but skype wasn't an option either. Great, that meant he would have to be happy with the landline pay phones he saw in one of the halls in the school.

Looking out of the window he was still impressed how different the interior was from the exterior, he wasn't a fan of the horror movie setting, but considering it was a monster school it could have probably been a lot worse. The interior was modern, the students and teachers acted mostly like normal humans would, as far as he had seen, and the scholarship was still a big plus point on his list, not to forget that he had already made a friend and he definitely wasn't the type to just let a friend behind, even if said friend was a monster.

He was already turning away from the window when he saw Saizo and to his surprise next to him Moka. He hadn't pecked her to be friends with such people what who was he to judge. On the other side he couldn't see enough with the distance, so maybe he was just trying to get her to be his girlfriend, it would perfectly fit his stereotype if he did something like that. Well since both are monster it probably wouldn't escalate and Saizo probably wouldn't do anything to extreme in fear of the teacher on the campus since it's only been the first day and teachers tended to be stricter on the first few days. So relatively relaxed, he would probably ask her tomorrow what happened, he laid down in his bed and decided that a nap now would probably great.

While he saw Saizo through the window he failed to see the violet spots on the right bottom of the window. Mizore was already indulging in her hobby and had stalked him the entire way to the roof, one of her favourite spots, that she already knew and by the look he had he probably shared that feeling, and then further observed him going to his room where he, after looking through the window and almost discovering her he went to bed and she had to say, his sleeping face was definitely cute. If he should turn into her partner in marriage he would definitely have a plus point in looks, but it was still way too early to come to a conclusion, she still didn't really know him and for her people took quite some amount of time until you could be considered a friend or even longer for a marriage prospect, so she pretty much rushed it when she said she would be his friend, but she doubted that she would regret that move.

The nap developed into a pretty long sleep, he wouldn't wake up until his alarm clock activated and his second day at Yokai Academy would start.

AN:

So tell me what you think about it. I mostly wrote this because I just lave Kirito as a Character and this is the first crossover going in this direction for the R+V and SAO category. The pairing should be rather obvious, going by this chapter, the title and the fact that I told you that "My Snow Girl" was a big inspiration for this story (If you haven't read it yet you should do it now, you are really missing out on a great work!)

If I get enough positive feedback the next chapter might show up in a few days' time, but I am probably going to concentrate more on my first story (The Black Knight - SAO x CG crossover)

And for the fact that he isn't too shocked or terrified about the monsters: He isn't Tsukune and was hardened in the hell that was SAO and I think I also explained some of the reasons in the story.

As always: I was too lazy to proofread and the disclaimer:

I own neither Sword Art Online nor Rosario + Vampire

I hope you all liked it (If yes then please favourite, follow and review (I am living from reviews, even if it is just a simple "good job" it motivates me to write more and faster ;D))
