Death is a natural part of life

The two are inseparable like lovers

One cannot exist without the other

Without sorrow there is no joy

Without pain we would not know pleasure

In creation there is destruction

It was a dark and stormy night at Yokai Academy, but not stormy enough for Ginei Morioka to abandon his usual nightly crusade of peeping. Unlike vampires, werewolves didn't need to worry about the weather.

"Looks like its slim picking tonight. I never realized that so many teenage girls, monsters for that matter, were still scared of lightening."

Gin never really abandoned his perverted practices; he was just doing his best to make sure people didn't know about it, if they did the girls would hang him up and beat him like a rug. Then again, he didn't want to go peeping for the rest of his life, he wanted more.

"Why do all the girls flock around Tsukune? The only human in a school full of monsters and somehow he's a chick magnet… I'm a frickin werewolf for crying out! What does he have that I don't have."

Suddenly, through the sound of the thunder, rain, and wind, Gin could swear he heard the sound of someone screaming.

"Hmm… Maybe there's a damsel in distress who needs my help."

Seeing it as an opportunity to be cool and as a chance to impress a girl, he transformed into his wolf state.

"And away we go!"

Gin raced across the dark campus through the rain and through the wind. This would be something of a difficult task for a normal person, but not to a werewolf.

"Jacob Black has nothing on me." he thought.

All at once Gin stopped. Through the damp ground he could smell blood. The smell didn't drive a werewolf crazy like it would a vampire, but it did make him uneasy.

"This could get ugly."

Gin advanced cautiously now. His curiosity had brought him to the place on campus where Yoshi Serizawa lived. Serizawa was one of the school's more unorthodox teachers. For years he had been conducting experiments that combined elements of human science and sorcery.

"Maybe Serizawa has joined the club of teachers who abuse their students." thought Gin "Which means if I hurry I might have the chance to be a hero for a cute girl."

Gin busted in and what he saw horrified him.

"Oh… my… god…"

Meanwhile, in the student dorms, Tsukune Aono was fast asleep. He was dreaming that he was in a dark room, or at least he thought he was dreaming. Suddenly the room was full of an eerie violet mist. Then from that mist emerged what seemed to be a familiar feminine figure.

"Mo… Moka?"

"Moka? No… I'm something much more exciting."

She had the eyes of Moka's inner self, but her hair was a different color. She approached Tsukune slowly and gracefully. Her eyes were mesmerizing, Tsukune couldn't move, he felt completely spell bound, somehow he knew he had felt these effects before, but never so strong, it was like being under the effects of Kurumu's charm. Suddenly she was close, she closed her eyes and smelled him, then she felt his skin. Finally she opened her eyes and smiled at him, there was hunger, desire, and wickedness in it.

"Tsu…ku…ne… you are… mine…"

At that moment Tsukune's dream changed. He was in a bright white void. The ground was covered with caterpillars, suddenly they all began to seal themselves in cocoons.

"What the heck? Why am I seeing this?" he thought.

After the caterpillars had finished sealing themselves in cocoons people started to enter the void. Tsukune could only watch as a lot of the cocoons were stepped on and crushed. Finally when all the people were gone he saw that only one cocoon had been left undamaged. Then it started hatching, a majestic glowing butterfly emerged from it. It was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen.

"But what does this all mean? It doesn't make sense."

The vision changed yet again. Tsukune found himself in a graveyard in the middle of the night. The only light was from the moon up above. Then he heard crying.

"Is that… Moka?"

Tsukune ran in the direction he heard the crying, no, it wasn't just Moka. Kurumu, Yukari, Mizore, and Ruby were there with her. They were all crying over a tombstone, and none of them seemed to notice he was there.

"Girls? What's wrong?"

Suddenly Tsukune could see what was written on the tombstone.

Here lies

Tsukune Aono

"WHAT!?! ACCORDING TO THIS… I'M DEAD! BUT THIS CAN'T BE!!!"

Suddenly the girls, and the whole graveyard were gone. Once again Tsukune found himself in a void, only it was pitch black. Then he saw two bright burning white eyes.

"Tsukune Aono… THE TIME HAS COME!!!"

Tsukune awoke in his dorm room. It was about 2:30 in the morning.

"Phew… Just dreaming…"

Tsukune looked at the Holy Lock around his right arm. It seemed to be intact.

"Moka didn't suck my blood yesterday, so it must've been something I ate."

Tsukune tried to fall back asleep, but it was hard.

"I wish it was the weekend… Now I'm going to be drowsy when I go to class tomorrow, and Kurumu will blame Moka, saying she sucked out too much of my blood, when she hasn't done so… Moka… I'd much rather dream of her."
