Return of the Vampire King
Summary: D's father, Dracula, has been resurrected somehow and the legendary hunter, who killed Dracula twice, hunts him yet again. What will D do about all of this? And who is this legendary hunter? Warning: Yaoi! Lots of blood, violence...all the good stuff...
Author's notes: This fic originally was for Vampire Hunter D section, but it's a crossover and should be in Van Helsing section as well. The only problem is that one side is a movie and the other is an anime. So, let's just pretend in the movie section, that VHD is in movie version as well. But for the VHD section, let's pretend it is in Anime version. K? I'm trying to fix all the problems and glitches... I'm working on trying to space it and I hope it works THIS time. If not, OH WELL. -.-
Warning(s): R, AU Crossover, Yaoi, Violence, Songfic, Sexual situations, Blood and Gore, Possibly Incest (will warn in the chapter if it happens), Death, and etc. I will warn in the following chapters if there are warnings that I have not mentioned...
Do NOT read if you are NOT mature and/or old enough to deal with all the contents in this fanfic. Also, do NOT read this is you are offended and/or dislike males on males. You have been forewarned! Buhahahahahahaha!
OH, and if ANYONE knows HOW to put marks in-between scenes to separate them, please let me know! I've been trying to figure out HOW for awhile now. I'm kinda new to FF.net and I don't really know how to do italics, spacing, or making any sorts of marks or any of that other fancy stuff.
Prologue
((Read the note before you read the prologue, please.))
Important INFO: First, it might be slow at first, but I promise it'll get good soon! Secondly, just to make it clear to you all, I will explain a few things. This is an AU fic, meaning I can do whatever I want; make the characters as OOC as I wish! I've only seen the two Vampire Hunter D movies, (the old version and the new version. Personally, I like the newer version better...) so cut me some slack if I don't get everything right.
There are hints that D's father wanted D to destroy all the corrupt vampires and etc; I don't know if that's true, plus I don't know how D personally feels about his father. Yet, this is my fic and I will make Dracula the way I have always envisioned him. You'll see what I mean later on. But, the Dracula I envisioned is exactly like the one in the Van Helsing movie, except I will make him have LONGER hair. I saw Van Helsing twice, and I put two and two together: D is Dracula's son, and Van Helsing is the hunter who killed Dracula twice, once when Dracula was a human prince and once when Dracula was a vampire. I was told about Van Helsing and etc way before that movie even came out that the guy who killed Dracula was Van Helsing.
I'm not too big on crossovers, but I got this idea to throw Van Helsing into it because my first impression of him when I saw him was that he reminded me so much of D. Oh yeah, and my Dracula is not the one from any movie (except for the Van Helsing movie) or any animation, kay? So, just picture the Dracula from "Van Helsing" movie, except with longer hair, kay? Oh yeah, I'm basically going to stick with the Van Helsing character from the movie. And D...well, I'll try to keep him in character. I think that's it for now, but this idea just sparked suddenly a few days ago and I wanted to try it out. I hope it turns out good. Ok, now you can read!
The night sky darkened drastically; the morbid gray clouds concealed the quarter moon from view. Strange stirrings shrieked and wailed in the rough, whipping, and below 0 ice cold wind. Thunder roared with suck unbridled fury; it almost seemed to have shaken the Earth. Wild lightning streaked the sky, so repeatedly, which was strange because usually it did not flash that fast or much. It was both beautiful and terrifying at the same time.
Something strange and yet suspicious was happening; an event most likely to be both bone chilling and memorable to both human and vampire kind alike.
A flash of spontaneous lightning for a brief moment, revealed a naked, but lone figure that stood erect and as if he was frozen. Darkness came after the brief flash and when another flash came, the he was gone.
A mysterious cloaked man stood alone in a roman catholic church in Rome, his dark hat (which somewhat resembles D's hat, the brim not as long as D's) grasped in one of his hands. His veil was down, (the one that covers his mouth and nose) and he stood by one of the both very beautiful and enchanting stainless glass windows that told a wordless story...
"Van Helsing." A firm, but friendly Italian-accented voice summoned him.
The mysterious man turned his gaze to the cardinal, nodded once, and then followed the cardinal. He said nothing, for he was not one to indulge in much talk, unless it was the two questions of "what am I dealing with?" and "how do I kill it?" that was common of him to speak.
When the two of them had reached a private room to converse in of secret confidential matters; they both immediately seated themselves facing each other.
The silent man studied his friend curiously as he waited for him to speak first. He knew that the cardinal had something very important to tell him, yet he could feel that the cardinal was hesitant to reveal to him...something that he knew was very bad news.
"Van Helsing, I summoned you here not just because of God's will..." The cardinal trailed off. He was shorter then Van Helsing, but he was much thinner and looked much older. His eyes were a pale blue and they always looked very tired, but wise at the same time. His hair was white and his skin a pale tan. He wore red robes and a red hat that was accustomed to his high rank and seniority as a cardinal. ((Note: I don't know much about the Roman Catholic priests and I asked my friend about it. She told me some stuff and I hope its right. I'm too lazy to do research on it, but if you know anything about Romanian priests and churches, do let me know, please. If you've seen the movie, try to think of that church he goes to and that holy man he converses with.))
"Pietro, if you have something to tell me, tell me already."
"There are rumors..."
"About what?"
"Dracula."
"I killed him...twice!" Van Helsing stood up, a bit agitated. He crossed his arms and stared down at the cardinal, obviously distressed.
"Calm down, Van Helsing. They are only rumors, after all." Cardinal Pietro said indifferently, his hands folded passively in his lap.
"What are these rumors, then?" Van Helsing sat back down, arms still crossed.
"Some say...he has returned from his grave yet again...while others believe that his restless, wicked spirit still wanders the world..."
"Why do they believe that?"
"I do not know. People tend to believe a lot of non sense, but...sometimes their non sense is the truth."
"You believe he lives?"
"I do not know. That is why I plan to have you go find out for me. And if the rumors are true, you know what to do."
"I see." Van Helsing sat still, musing about all he had been told. He was not afraid or upset. He was just annoyed. It annoyed him that he had to kill this thing twice and now it has returned. And now he had to kill it again. Would it ever end?
Van Helsing started to muse about the past...
"Now, tell me, how did your other mission end? For once, it has not reached my ears. So it went well, then?" The cardinal asked, interrupting the human hunter's thoughts.
"I know it is preferred that I don't kill these miscreants...but..."
"Oh, Van Helsing..." A defeated sigh.
"I don't think my last mission is important right now. Finding out if Dracula is alive is more important, Pietro."
"I know. And you have the church's permission to slay the vampire king if he is indeed alive."
"Alive is never the word to describe him."
"You know what I mean." The cardinal sighed in exasperation again. He was getting too old for this...
"Is there anything else I need to know?"
"The people say he was seen in Romania and other parts of Europe. The last place he was supposedly seen was in Transylvania..."
"I guess my best bet is to go to Transylvania...again." Van Helsing sighed.
"Be careful, Van Helsing. He is the most powerful of the vampire kind, not to mention that he is most likely infuriated with you in particular. You have to be cautious of the other vampires, as well..."
"I know. Some of them are out to get my head while the others seem to be...happy that Dracula was slain." Van Helsing stood up, about to take his leave.
"Wait, Van Helsing. Do you intend to take the friar with you?"
"He has yet to leave my side, Pietro. Of course he's coming with me..."
"Be sure to get all that you need before you leave."
Van Helsing nodded and started to walk away.
"Oh, and Van Helsing?"
"Hmmmmm?" He stopped in mid stride.
"Try not to get yourself killed this time." The cardinal jested, but was serious at the same time. He loved Van Helsing in a fatherly sort of way and he refused to tell the hunter that he worried all the time about him. Somehow, his intuition told him that Van knew.
"I can't promise you that..." Van Helsing strode out, his leather boots clanking loudly on the ground as he walked away, in search of the friar and his supplies.
"D! Why didn't you take that job! TWO HUNDRED MILLION, idiot!" The parasite in the Dunpeal's hand said gratingly. D ignored him as he rode his black cyborg horse through the wilderness and they were far away from the town he had last been in. "Oh, so you're trying to ignore me? How annoying. I don't think so! You are going to tell me why you refused that rich family!" The raspy voice spoke again.
"I did not want to do it." Came D's usual monotone reply.
"Why?"
"..." D didn't answer. He just thought about the rich family's reason to kill the child. On the outside, he didn't seem to give a damn, but on the inside, he was enraged.
His goal had always been to kill vampires no matter what, but the family had wanted him to hunt down and kill a Dunpeal child. Their reason had been was that they didn't want a half-breed, especially a Dunpeal, staining their family tree.
He would not do it and he could not do it. He could kill vampires and demons without any emotions plaguing him, but to kill a Dunpeal was too personal for him...
"Where are we going, D?" After a few hours, the parasite had decided to bug D again.
"I am going to find the Dunpeal child."
"So you're going to do it after all?"
"I am not going to kill him."
"Then why look for him?"
"No doubt they will hire someone else to dispose of him. I am going to find him before anyone else does."
"Ah, figures. Well, where are we off to? This place is starting to look familiar to me..."
"Transylvania."

R&R would be nice! Tell me what you thought about it and etc, etc. That would be most helpful as would other things. I hope you at least liked it. It'll get better, I promise. I thought this was a good idea and I will make it happen.
