To all those who actually read these little disclaimers, this is a work of fanfiction. I do not own Rosario + Vampire or any of the trademarked characters and locations from the respected creator. I am only placing this disclaimer here for the sake of stating the obvious, as it should be plain to see for everybody with common sense that of course I didn't create Rosario + Vampire. Seriously, do we really need these disclaimers here? Who the hell is going to try to say they created R+V? Who could really be that stupid?
Rosario Vampire: A Game of Chance
The sun was slowly rising in the horizon, the rays of light creeping along a quiet town as a few cars and buses were driving leisurely through the streets. A calm breeze rolled by as another day was beginning, with a few birds chirping in the trees before flying off into the sky. Students were starting to get ready as their break was coming to an end, everybody knowing that the time for going back to classes was at hand once again.
Inside a home on a quiet street a boy with messy dark hair was sleeping peacefully in his bed, with a few trace rays of light coming through his window and brightening the room.
"Tsukune, hurry up and get ready otherwise you'll be late," Mrs. Aono called out from out in the hall. Tsukune murmured and rolled over onto his side, smiling gently while pulling the covers up over him and trying to pretend he still had time to sleep. Of course after a while he slowly sat up and yawned, knowing that there was no fighting it. It was time to return to his school and resume his education, something that he wasn't that opposed of to be honest. The boy slowly got out of bed and walked out of his room, heading down the hall towards the washroom to get cleaned up while still half asleep.
THUNK!
After walking into the door of the washroom and jumping back to his senses he then proceeded to get cleaned up now that he was fully awake with a sore nose. He tossed his shirt into the clothes hamper and started to wash his face, splashing the cold water onto his skin which only woke him up further. After drying off he looked at himself curiously in the mirror. He tilted his head around, and then examined his body with a casual eye, noticing that he had developed some apparent muscle during his stay at his academy. Of course that was to be expected, it was a school for monsters after all. He chuckled with self-amusement and shook his head.
"A school for monsters, and yet I'm eager to return. Can't imagine going anywhere else though to be honest," he said to himself. The images of a few girls he had come to know and befriend flashed before his eyes, the same girls that were the primary reason he wanted to return to the academy. Actually, they were the only reason, seeing as how the majority of the lesson plans at the school involved learning to coexist and blend in with mankind in the human world. Those were the easy lessons for him, since he already know how to live amongst his own kind he did exceptional in those courses. The others, like normal academic studies that humans also go through in school, were a bit more difficult for him.
"Oh yes… that's right, Ms. Ririko usually has us take a refresher test the first day we get back. I hope Yukari can help me study tonight, I really don't want to deal with that woman's makeup lessons," he said with a shudder, imagining the math teacher dressed in a black latex dominatrix outfit and smacking a riding crop in her hand. Of course that image wasn't because it was supposed to be arousing to him, it was because the teacher actually wore that during her 'makeup' lessons, which were anything but enjoyable seeing as how that woman was bat shit crazy about math.
After getting washed up and brushing his teeth he walked back into his room and got dressed in the school uniform for Yokai Academy. The usual brown pants, black shoes, and green dress jacket were slipped on as the boy somewhat combed his hair. It was of course a losing battle as always, seeing as how his hair never behaved and was always messy. He blinked then glanced to the clock.
"Uh oh, I'd better hurry or I'll miss the bus," he said before taking off down the stairs. He made it to the front foyer before his mother called out to him.
"Tsukune, aren't you going to have any breakfast this morning?" she asked from nearby in the kitchen. Tsukune paused then looked up curiously. He wasn't that hungry right now, however he knew that upon meeting up with his friends a certain pink haired vampire might want to have some of his blood after the long school break. He didn't want to deny her that treat seeing as how she loved it so much, and thought having a breakfast would help him get his strength for the vampire's own meal.
"Sure, don't want to skip out on that now do I?" he said with a small laugh as he walked over to the kitchen. He sat down at the table as his mother set a plate of toast and bacon for him along with some orange juice. As he ate peacefully the woman walked over to make a cup of tea.
"So dear, are you all ready to head back to school? I was surprised none of your friends visited you this time, they usually pop by every now and then whenever you're home," she said curiously. Tsukune nodded and glanced towards the window in the kitchen.
"Yeah, I'm looking forward to seeing them again. They weren't able to come visit this time, they were all preoccupied with family events of their own and said they wouldn't be able to get away even for a day," he said casually.
"I see, well I can understand that. Tell them I say hello when you meet them again," the woman said with a calm smile before sipping her tea.
"I will mother, and don't worry, you'll see them again soon I'm sure," Tsukune said before finishing up his breakfast.
A horn sounded from outside, with Tsukune looking over towards the front foyer with a smile.
"Sounds like the bus is here to pick me up. Thank you for the breakfast mother, and it was great to see you again. Tell dad I said goodbye when he gets home," he said standing up.
"I will, have a good time, and don't be afraid to write or call," the woman said, walking over and hugging her son. Tsukune nodded as he held her, knowing he couldn't quite call from the academy while letters would take a long while to reach her regardless. Tsukune then headed outside and towards the familiar bus that was waiting for him at the curb. He walked up to the doors as they opened, with the bus driver glancing to him with his glowing eyes.
"Hey kid, all set to go?" he said with his usual grin.
"Yeah, I'm ready," Tsukune said as he boarded the bus. He got to the front then looked inside with surprise.
"Hello Tsukune," Moka, Kurumu, Mizore, Yukari, and Ruby called out to him. Tsukune saw the girls along with Kokoa in the bus towards the back, however there weren't any other students this time. Moka and Kurumu were sitting together while Mizore was sitting behind them. Yukari was bouncing around energetically in a seat across the aisle while Kokoa was sitting in a seat behind her, the vampire having her legs up on the seat before her and leaning back with her hands behind her head. Ruby was seated before the girls and was smiling at the boy curiously.
"Hello everybody, I didn't expect you to be here. Wow, what are you doing here, I thought I would be meeting you at the academy," Tsukune said with a surprised smile. The girls didn't normally ride his bus upon returning to the academy, since they came from different parts of the monster world. Yukari hopped out of her seat and ran up to the boy, hugging him and pulling him down the aisle.
"We wanted to surprise you, we didn't want to wait until your bus arrived so we decided to come get you instead," she said with a cheerful smile. Tsukune laughed happily as he was somewhat pulled down the aisle by the young witch then looked around at his friends.
"Well you certainly surprised me. Um, where are the other students though, usually my ride has at least half the bus filled with others for the academy," he asked curiously.
"They are being picked up by another bus Tsukune, I had this one arranged so we could pick you up personally," Ruby said with a somewhat professional and boasting tone. Yukari pulled the boy down onto the seat next to her as he looked around at everybody with a curious smile.
"What? You didn't need to go through any trouble for me though Ruby, that wasn't necessary," he said with a chuckle.
"But we wanted to come see you, and we thought since we'd be riding together we might as well have our own private ride in doing so," Kurumu said with a giggle.
"It's not like a limo or anything, but still it's nice to have the whole bus to ourselves for the trip," Moka said with a small shrug. Tsukune smiled and nodded as Yukari hopped up and down in her seat again.
"Thank you, all of you. I was very eager to see all of you again as well, this definitely makes my day," he said looking around at the girls. They all smiled and blushed at him while Kokoa merely glanced out the window. Tsukune looked back to her with a curious smile then tilted his head.
"You wanted to come along too Kokoa?" he asked. She scoffed then glanced to him with a small scowl.
"I wanted to accompany my big sis, not be your chauffer," she said with annoyance. He smirked and nodded.
"Well, it's nice to see you again too Kokoa," he said kindly. She looked at him for a moment longer before turning her dull gaze out the window again, a small blush faintly being seen on her cheeks as she did so.
"Whatever," she muttered.
"So how was your vacation Tsukune?" Ruby asked as all the girls were seated and looking at the boy curiously while the bus was in motion.
"It was nice; I really just hung out with my parents and relaxed at home. Nothing exciting, certainly not in comparison to living at the academy. How about all of you, how did you spend your vacation time?" he asked looking around at the girls. They glanced to each other then back to him with timid smiles.
"Oh… well, we mostly spent our time with our parents as well," Moka said softly. Kokoa glanced to her with a raised eyebrow.
"Yeah, nothing exciting to report here," Kurumu said with a small smile.
"Just counting the seconds until you came back really," Yukari said with a giggle. Tsukune looked around at the girls with a curious smile.
"Really, nothing happened at all?" he asked.
"I mostly just attended school business and such, my duties didn't end when your vacation time began I'm afraid. Still, nothing really exciting to talk about," Ruby said with a casual wave of the hand. Kokoa glanced around at them with a puzzled expression.
"What are you all talking about, we never-"
BANG!
She dropped to the floor of the bus after a washtub connected to her head, the vampire groaning weakly on the ground as Yukari quickly hid her wand behind her back with a nervous giggle, which was pointless because everybody knew very well she cast her spell to knock the vampire down.
"What did you hit her for Yukari? And what was she talking about?" Tsukune asked looking over the seat to see Kokoa rubbing her head with a grunt on the floor.
"Nothing Tsukune, nothing at all. Anyway, it's great you're back again, I missed you so much," Yukari said sweetly while holding onto the boy's arm. Kurumu grunted then reached over and yanked Tsukune over the aisle into her arms with an arrogant smile, the boy's face being shoved into her breasts as he flailed about.
"Well I missed you more Tsukune, it's so hard to be away from you, even if just for a day. I couldn't sleep well at all knowing you were so far away. I just can't have sweet dreams at all without my darling Destined One near me," she said lovingly as she held the boy close to her, his face now being completely hidden and enveloped in what may possibly be the softest thing he has ever felt in his entire life. Moka looked at Tsukune nervously then tried to pull the boy away from the sweet suffocating death he was blacking out in over towards her, the human ending up between the succubus and vampire as he gasped for air.
"I missed you too Tsukune, it's not the same without you and your blood around. I mean without you! I missed you more than your blood, even though I really missed your blood too. Uh, which only means I missed you more!" she pleaded erratically.
'Smooth.'
'Be quiet, I can't help it, I missed him and his tasty blood, there's nothing wrong with that is there?'
'Of course not, I'm sure he's glad to know we hold his personal being in the same regard as a transfusion packet.'
Tsukune looked back and forth between the two girls as he was tugged side to side from each of them holding his arm and attempting to pull him away from the other. Before he could speak Mizore leaned over from behind and wrapped her arms around his chest, her cool breath felt against his ear causing him to shiver slightly.
"I missed you too Tsukune, it just wasn't the same sleeping without you next to me," she said softly. The other girls looked to her with surprise, Kokoa included, as Tsukune stammered something franticly.
"What? Sleeping with me? But we've never slept together before!" he cried out a bit louder than he intended to. Mizore giggled and nuzzled closer to his cheek.
"I know, it's rather unpleasant sleeping alone all the time, do you think you could help me get a good night sleep tonight? Please Tsukune?" she said softly into his ear.
"He's not sleeping with you frosty, if anything he can sleep with me. I'll make sure he has sweet dreams all night, rather than suffering frostbite with you," Kurumu barked out at the snow maiden. Mizore glanced to her with narrowed eyes while still holding Tsukune close to her.
"He would suffocate with your sweater cows smothering him in his sleep, at least with me he'll live to see the next day," she said dryly.
"He can sleep with me, I don't mind. I would feel a lot safer knowing you were in bed with me Tsukune," Yukari said with a timid smile. Moka shook her head and pulled Tsukune back towards her quickly.
"No Tsukune, sleep with me! I promise I won't suck you dry, unless that's what you want, then I'll suck you right away," she pleaded quickly. She then slapped a hand over her mouth with a gasp as everybody looked to her with surprise.
"I… I didn't mean… that wasn't what… I… Tsukune…" she said shakily as she shook her head.
'What the hell is wrong with you?'
'I'm sorry, I didn't think of what to say properly.'
'That didn't stop you from begging Tsukune to sleep with you and bribing him with oral sex should he accept.'
'I didn't mean it like that; I only meant drinking his blood!'
"Wow Moka, didn't think you would get that desperate," Kurumu commented flatly. She then looked to Tsukune with a grin.
"Not like she could do anything that I couldn't do, I'll do whatever you want if you'll sleep with me tonight," she said coyly. Tsukune looked at her with a stunned expression then back to Moka.
"Don't listen to them Tsukune, I'll take good care of you if you sleep with me tonight, I promise," Mizore said softly into Tsukune's ear.
"I'll join in with Moka if that'll make the offer sweeter for you! We can all sleep together tonight and have some fun!" Yukari cheered out. The group looked to her with disbelief as she nodded with a bashful smile.
"What?" Tsukune cried out.
"I didn't mean anything like that Yukari, that wasn't what I was talking about at all!" Moka cried out.
"What is wrong with you Yukari? And like hell you could make the offer better with Moka, you couldn't do anything to Tsukune at all, let alone handle him in such a manner," Kurumu declared while shaking her head.
"Yeah I can, I've been practicing with a banana for weeks now!" Yukari shot back at her.
Silence.
"What the hell is wrong with all of you?" Kokoa shouted out with a disturbed expression.
"She's been practicing how to give oral sex with a banana at her age, and you're asking what's wrong with us?" Mizore asked flatly while glancing to the young vampire.
"Tsukune is not sleeping with any of you tonight," Ruby declared with a stern expression. The girls looked to her as Tsukune nodded nervously.
"It's against school rules to have coed sleeping arrangements, you all know the rules of the academy," Ruby stated while shaking her head. The other girls looked down with worry as Tsukune breathed out quietly in relief.
"However, there's no rule that he cannot sleep in my personal chambers in the school, should he feel he needs somebody to talk to, to listen to, to hold and tie down," Ruby said with a small blush while looking to Tsukune timidly. The girls then looked to her with surprise as Tsukune breathed in with a nervous expression again.
"What? To hold… and tie down?" Tsukune stammered while shaking his head.
"You know, whatever makes you happy Tsukune. I don't mind doing whatever it takes to make you feel rested, at ease, and in full control of your inner desires," Ruby said with a coy smile and a wink.
"Inner desires?" Tsukune said in shock.
"He's not sleeping with you Ruby!" Kurumu shouted out. Ruby looked to her with a dull expression and raised an eyebrow.
"That is his choice to make Kurumu, not yours. Stop trying to tell him what he can and can't do, he has that thing called 'free will' you know," she said firmly. She then looked back to Tsukune with a small smile.
"Shall I prepare the bed for two tonight? I can see to it that we're not disturbed all night, and my walls are soundproof so you don't need to worry about anyone hearing me scream," she said softly. Tsukune merely stared at her with a twitching eye while the other girls shot her dull glares. Kokoa shook her head before glancing to Tsukune with annoyance.
"I won't scream if you sleep with me and Moka, I promise Tsukune, you can even put a ball gag in my mouth," Yukari pleaded with worried eyes at the boy. The group looked to her with stunned expressions again while Moka shook her head franticly.
"We're not all sleeping together Yukari, how many times do we have to say no to that? He can just sleep with me and me alone!" she cried out. She again slapped a hand over her mouth as Tsukune looked back to her with wide eyes.
'Stop talking. Now.'
'I didn't mean that, I really didn't mean it like that!'
'I don't care, just shut up right now before you throw what's left of our pride out the window.'
"Oh for god's sake!" Kokoa yelled out. She stood up and marched over to the group, grabbed Tsukune, threw him over into her seat next to the window, then sat down next to him. She then firmly put her leg forward and against the seat in front of her while glancing to the other girls.
"There, he can sit there for the rest of the trip while the rest of you try to find your common sense and stop acting like Kurumu!" she yelled out at them.
"Hey, what the hell do you mean by that?" Kurumu shouted out insulted. Kokoa growled with her fangs bared then glanced to Tsukune, the boy rubbing his head with a nervous expression while he leaned against the window.
"Sit there, shut up, and eyes downward," she hissed. Tsukune just looked at her with wonder before she growled at him with frustration and a faint blush on her cheeks.
"Eyes down now!" she yelled out. Tsukune jumped then looked down at the floor as the vampire glanced to the other girls.
"There, maybe now we can travel back to the academy in peace without all of you begging him to knock you up next," she snapped with annoyance. The other girls looked at her with perplexed expressions then to Tsukune.
"Hey, you can't just hog Tsukune all to yourself like that," Kurumu barked out as she stood up. Kokoa snarled then glared at the girl.
"If one of you speaks to him again while this bus is in motion I'll tell him what all of us were up to while he was gone," she hissed. The girls looked at her with surprise as Tsukune glanced to her curiously.
"What was that?" he asked. Kokoa looked back to him as she grabbed his head and forced his gaze back down to the floor.
"I said eyes down. I'm allowing you not only peace and quiet along with safe refuge from those girls but also gracing you with my presence by sitting next to you. The least you can do is do as you're told!" she barked out. Tsukune trembled slightly then kept his eyes locked down with a nervous expression while Kokoa leaned back in her seat with her arms behind her head.
"But Kokoa-" Moka said before the redhead looked over to her with a sharp glare.
"Silence," she hissed. The other girls glanced to each other then to Kokoa with worried eyes. Slowly they all sat down and looked ahead with forlorn expressions while Kokoa breathed out and looked down. She then glanced to Tsukune who was now keeping his eyes closed while looking down.
"I didn't say you had to close your eyes," she said simply.
"I know, but with your leg up to block my path you're pulling your skirt up, I didn't think you would want me to catch a glimpse of your panties," he said with a shrug. The other girls looked to her with a jump as she glanced down to her exposed pink panties with wide eyes. She squeaked and quickly set her leg down while her hands shot down and pushed her skirt down as well. The girl blushed slightly and glanced to Tsukune.
"Um… thank you," she said softly. She then looked around at all the other girls watching her then down with a forced expression of discontent while crossing her arms. The other girls glanced to each other then looked back ahead, none of them wanting Kokoa to tell Tsukune anything more than what he had already heard.
The bus traveled for a while in silence before the vehicle made a turn down a side road.
"Where are you going, the gateway to the monster world isn't this way," Ruby asked puzzled.
"I know that, got one more pickup to make," the driver said with a shrug.
"What? No you don't, I arranged this single pickup myself, there are no other students assigned to this bus route today," Ruby said shaking her head. The driver held up a clipboard with a paper clipped to it.
"Says I got another pickup here on the list, orders are orders," he said simply. The girls all looked to Ruby questioningly as she showed a puzzled expression. She stood up and walked towards the front of the bus.
"What are you talking about, there can't be another assigned for this ride," she said as she took the clipboard and examined it. She looked down towards the end of the very small list of pickups that she had scheduled, and saw that another entry was listed there.
"What? But… how? I didn't write that," Ruby said with bewilderment.
"What's up Ruby?" Kurumu asked.
"Yeah, I thought this was going to be a private bus for Tsukune today," Mizore asked curiously.
"I don't understand, how… how did this name get here?" Ruby asked with confusion. She sat down on the seat towards the front while looking at the paper with disbelief.
"Was it added by the headmaster at the last minute or something?" Yukari asked. Ruby shook her head then looked back to the group.
"No, it couldn't have been. I… I wrote this list myself, this name wasn't here when we left the academy," she said bewildered.
"It's alright if we have another pickup Ruby, really. I don't mind," Tsukune said with a nod while still keeping his gaze down at the floor.
"But this was supposed to be a private trip for you Tsukune," Kurumu whined.
"He can still enjoy his view of the floor for the rest of the trip. If it'll keep them quiet for the rest of the drive then by all means pick the student up Ruby," Kokoa said with annoyance. The girls glanced to her then to Ruby as she scratched her head, the witch baffled by how the last name appeared on the list.
"How did that name get there?" she said quietly to herself.
The bus drove down the streets then came to a stop, with the girls watching curiously as the doors opened for another passenger. A figure boarded the bus, with all the girls' eyes watching him as he got to the front of the bus then calmly took a seat in the front across from Ruby. The girls glanced to each other then back to the student as Ruby eyed him curiously. He was wearing the dress shoes of Yokai Academy; however his dress pants were a dark gray while his academy jacket was a dark green with a red trimming instead of white. He was about Tsukune's height and had messy dark hair which went down to just above his shoulders, his bangs sticking out slightly while he sat there leaning back in the seat casually. Slowly he glanced to the witch who was staring at him, revealing that his right eye was purple while the left was red.
"Yes?" he asked calmly. Ruby blinked then looked at the student with a cautious smile.
"Um, are you sure you're on the right bus?" she asked carefully. The boy chuckled and looked back ahead.
"I believe so, this is the bus to Yokai Academy, is it not?" he asked casually. Ruby nodded then looked to the paper in her hand.
"Yes, it is. Sorry, I just… wasn't expecting one more pickup this morning," she said with a puzzled expression. The boy chuckled and glanced to her.
"Really?" he asked. Ruby nodded then looked to him with a slight smile while trying to hide her puzzlement, noticing that his gaze seemed to pierce hers even though he had a calm expression on his face.
"Um, anyway, welcome to Yokai Academy. I see here by this that you're a new student?" she asked looking back to the paper. It listed his address, name, and status as a new junior transfer student.
'How… did this get here, I didn't write this. Yet… it's in my handwriting… I don't understand.'
"Yes, I just transferred today," the boy said with a calm smile. He looked ahead again as his reached into his pocket casually and took something out, his gently closed fist hiding what it was while his fingers shifted around showing he was slowly toiling something around in his hand. Ruby glanced back to the others and shrugged, the girls shrugging in response as well, then looked back to the new student.
"It's nice to meet you to, my name is Ruby Tojo, I am the assistant to the headmaster of the academy so feel free to ask me about anything if you have any questions," she said politely. The boy nodded and gently tossed what was in his hand up lightly in front of him, the witch catching a glimpse of two six-sided dice with a black coating and obscured symbols on the sides from a gleam through the window. He caught the dice and glanced back to her with his differently colored eyes and smirked slightly.
"A pleasure to meet you, my name is Hex Lagon."
