Rosario + Vampire: Angel of Death
Chapter 1
Youkai Academy Gates. Morning.
The man landed in the woods nearby the gates between the human world and the monster world. He put on his uniform jacket, put a strap that held a very long duffel bag over his left shoulder, held on to his suitcase, and started walking. He knew that, as a freshman at Youkai, he would have to get over being near monsters of weak and repulsive descent. But he didn't care. They were all practice to him, nothing but collateral da- no, he thought. Never think or say those words again. I don't want to ever think or hear those words again in my life. He then started walking towards the entrance, hoping that this whole time at Youkai wouldn't be a waste of his time.
Ten minutes later, he found himself at the front of the gates again. He couldn't believe how lost he was, since his kind were supposed to be good at knowing where to go without getting lost. Probably have a lot on my mind, he thought, scratching his hair in confusion.
His thoughts were interrupted by the shout of a nearby man who had possibly just got there. Something about asking what the hell this place was. Oh well, the man thought, I guess I'll just go see what his problem is. He may know where the school entrance may be and where freshmen go to first.
Tsukune was in the middle of screaming when he heard a low voice say, "What, you never been to Youkai before?" He looked around to see a man, about his height, maybe taller. He looked well-built, with big, black, spiky hair, some bangs covering his left eye. He wore the official uniform, and carried a long duffel bag and a suitcase.
"Well, I guess I can't blame you." the man said to him. "I have no idea where I'm going either. Least until now."
"Uh..." Tsukune said.
The man stood there for a minute. "What?" he finally asked.
"Um... hi." Tsukune said.
The man said nothing.
"So..." Tsukune continued, "this is Youkai Academy?"
The man nodded his head.
"Oh, crap." Tsukune said, his face deadpanned. After a while, he got himself together, and said to the man, "Hi, my name is Tsukune Ao-"
"I didn't ask for your name." the man coldly snapped. Tsukune stopped talking. The man started to walk off.
"W-wait!" Tsukune said. "Wait up!"
The man did not.
"HEY!" Tsukune said, "What's your problem? You don't like being near others, or something?"
The man stopped. After a few seconds of silence, he said, "No, it's not that. I just-"
The man then went quiet. Tsukune was wondering what was wrong with him.
"Haru." The man suddenly said to him. "Haru Uematsu."
Tsukune was confused. Sensing this, the man turned around. "My name." he said.
"Oh, right." Tsukune said.
After a while, Haru and Tsukune stood at that same spot, Tsukune going on about how scary Youkai was and all that, and Haru saying nothing.
"That's it!" Tsukune said after a while of shouting, "I'm going home!"
"Take care, then." Haru said, walking away.
"DON'T YOU EVEN CARE?!" Tsukune asked.
"Not really." Haru replied.
All of a sudden, Haru heard a scream, a loud crash, and then turned around to see a bicycle flying towards him. He calmly grabbed it in midair, and then set it down carefully.
He then noticed the girl.
She was on top of Tsukune, somewhat scared of what had happened. But when she raised her head up, Haru felt the air in his lungs disappear.
The girl was beautiful. Her pink hair, green eyes, white skin, she looked like something out of a dream. Even Tsukune was surprised at how cute this girl was.
Then, the woman leaned onto Tsukune, as if there was something on him. She was looking, as Haru could tell, at Tsukune's neck, and then bit it, stating that she was, in fact, a vampire.
Tsukune sat there in shock as she drank some of his blood. Haru's face was full of surprise, and then turned to his usual, angry look.
"Oh, I'm so sorry!" the woman said after five to ten seconds of sucking blood, "My name is Moka Akashiya. Although I may look like this, I am a vampire."
"A VAMPIRE?!" Tsukune shouted. "YOU MEAN THE TYPE THAT HATES CROSSES AND GARLIC? THAT KIND OF VAMPIRE!?"
"Uh-huh." Moka said, blushing. "I have to say though; your blood is so awesome!"
Tsukune smiled, still unaware of his blood spewing a little from his neck.
Haru walked away. He knew that being near this guy would be bad, but now he could see how half-right he was.
After a while, Moka and Tsukune started to walk. They started talking, Tsukune introducing him to Moka, and talking about other stuff. It wasn't long before they noticed Haru once again.
"Hey, Haru!" Tsukune said, "Wait up!"
"Sorry," Haru said, "but I don't have any time to waste with you two."
Tsukune and Moka stood there as Haru kept walking. "What's with him?" Moka asked.
"I have no idea." Tsukune replied, and went walking to the school.
Several hours later, in the boy's dormitory, Haru had just finished setting up his room. He was lucky to not have a roommate, since in his mind roommates were annoying as hell, so he had the place all to himself.
He had already met his teacher, Ms. Nekonome, who seemed to have a hard time covering her cat ears and tail for some reason. That Tsukune guy was there too. Haru could tell that Tsukune felt very uneasy about him being in Youkai, due to Tsukune's constant shaking, but all of that stopped when SHE came in the room.
Moka Akashiya, Tsukune, and Haru have the same homeroom, as it seemed.
All of the guys gazed at her, murmuring about how beautiful she is and how she could be a goddess or something. Then they all went mad when she tackled Tsukune instead of anyone else.
Everything else seemed ordinary. Haru hardly saw Moka or Tsukune anywhere for the rest of the day. Guess they went to the dorms to see what they were, Haru had thought, but who cares?
He knew that his mission, one he had been on for years, was now easy to accomplish. Especially now that there was a vampire in the school...
The Next Day. Afternoon.
Haru walked along the outside of the school, his mind plagued with the dreams he had last night. He knew they were of a memory that happened a long time ago, and knew that he would soon be rid of them. So far, nothing out of the usual had happened, and it seemed to Haru that this may be a normal school year. But deep down, Haru knew that it wouldn't, if he didn't destroy the plague that had entered the school at the same time he did.
He shouldered his long duffel bag again, reminding himself of what he had to do.
He then walked past a few students who gathered nearby. "Hey, did you hear about what Saizou Komiya did this morning?" one said.
"Yeah," another said, "he ganged up on some dude about something. I dunno what, but if it pissed off Saizou, then it's definitely not good news for that kid."
"I heard that he was sent here against his will for molesting a lot of women and causing a whole lot of problems over at the human world. He's probably pissed at the guy because he has a beautiful girl with him or something." someone else said.
"Hey!" the first one said out loud, "I think I know who the girl is!"
"You do?" the others asked. "Who?"
Yeah, Haru thought, still walking away, who's the unlucky bastard with?
"I think it's that new girl, you know, the hot girl with the pink hair. I think her name is Moka something or other." the guy said.
Haru stopped dead in his tracks. Crap, he thought, sounds like Tsukune got attached to Moka and is now being threatened to leave her be by that ape Saizou. Great, he thought as he started walking, just what I need: more roadblocks.
After a while, Haru noticed a figure in the mist surrounding the graveyard area. As he walked closer, he noticed it to be Tsukune, holding on to his bags and running around in circles.
"And just what the hell are you doing?" Haru asked.
Tsukune whipped around to see Haru standing nearby. "Haru!" he said, "I...I'm..."
Haru looked at Tsukune's bag. "Looks like you're about to hit the road." he said, "All because of what happened this morning, I take it?"
"How did you-" Tsukune started, but then paused. "Never mind. I need to go. This place isn't for me."
"This place isn't for you?" Haru said. "You've only been here a day and a half, already made an enemy, and you want to run?" Haru walked past Tsukune, "Jeez, I knew that some humans have no backbone, but this is ridiculous."
"I do have a backbone!" Tsukune said, "I just don't want to-." Tsukune stopped. "Wait," he said, "what did you say?"
Haru turned around. "Cut the act." he said. "I know you're a human."
Tsukune was speechless. "But...how?" he asked.
"Simple," Haru said, "I can tell the difference by the amount of aura a monster has, and you have none. I knew from the moment I saw you."
"Then why didn't you tell me?" Tsukune asked.
"I didn't feel like it." Haru said to him.
Tsukune stood there, worried. He couldn't believe that Haru was able to find out that he was a human so easily. Yet, if Moka found out...
"Tsukune!" a voice rang out. Tsukune looked back to see Moka jump and wrap her arms around him. "How are you today? If we don't hurry, we'll be late for class!"
She then noticed Tsukune was about to cry.
"Tsukune?" she asked. She then noticed Haru standing nearby. "You're that guy from yesterday, right?"
Haru nodded.
"Tsukune," Moka said, "what's wrong? And what's with that luggage?"
"I'm sorry Moka," Tsukune said softly, "I can't help it. This school is scary. I wanna go to a school for humans, nothing more!"
Moka stood there. "Hu...humans?" she asked. She then rushed to Tsukune "No!" she shouted. "You can't go to some human school! I hate humans!"
Tsukune couldn't believe what he heard. Haru just crossed his arms and turned away.
"I..." Moka said, "I went to a human school from the beginning to middle school, and I was isolated! No one believed in monsters, so I felt alone, that I was different from others, that it would be better that I didn't exist. It was so scary for me." She then grabbed Tsukune's free hand. "But, you said that I was alright even though you found out that I'm a vampire. And so, for the first time in my life, I don't feel so alone anymore!"
Tsukune just stood there, not responding to Moka.
"So you can't go, Tsukune," Moka continued, "we can help each other out, I know we can!"
"What if..." Tsukune said, "What if i said I was one of those humans that you hate? Would you still stop me?"
Moka's face straightened, then showed minimal shock. "Wha...?"
"Moka," Tsukune said, "I'm one of them. I'm a human! I don't know how, but I ended up in this school by mistake. I shouldn't be here at all!"
Moka looked shocked. "But," she said after a minute of silence, "there's no way that a human would be here..."
Moka then realized that Tsukune was looking at her.
"So," he said, "Now that you know that I'm a human, you look at me with that face..." Tsukune began to walk away.
"Wait!" Moka said, grabbing Tsukune's arm. "Is it really true that you are-"
"Let go of me!" Tsukune said. "You said you hate humans, right? Well maybe I don't like monsters either!"
He then ran off, leaving Haru and Moka in the dust.
"Dammit, Tsukune," Haru said, "You idiot." He then ran off to catch up with Tsukune, leaving Moka all by herself.
Minutes later, Tsukune found himself by the gate, waiting for the bus to arrive. He knew what he said to Moka was bad, but he knew that he had to get away from here. He didn't want to die.
"Well now," a voice said behind him. Tsukune turned around to see Haru walking towards him. "And here I thought I was heartless, but you, Tsukune, YOU really take the cake."
Tsukune looked away. "I had no choice. She would have found out and killed me. Isn't that what monsters do to humans?"
Haru nodded. "True," he said, "but some of us aren't that cruel."
Tsukune looked at Haru. "I don't belong here," he said. "If I stayed, I would've died in a week or two."
"And how do you know that?" Haru asked. "Have you ever been near a monster before?"
Tsukune didn't answer.
Haru walked up to him. "You know," he said, "I once knew a man, my elementary school teacher, who said to me 'Courage and bravery are both the same thing, but if you have only one or none of both, then you do not deserve a life of happiness. Only with the belief that you can overcome any obstacle, can you prove your worth to the world.'"
Tsukune looked at Haru. "What does that mean?" he asked.
"It means," Haru said, "that in order to prove yourself, you need to have no fear of the past or present, but the strength to believe in the future and to persist in the present that you live in."
Tsukune looked at the scarecrow nearby. "I see." he said. "I guess if I can find him when I go back, I can tell him he's wrong, right?"
Haru looked away. "It won't matter to him."
"Why not?" Tsukune asked.
"Because he's dead." Haru said. "He's been dead ever since he fought in World War II before its end."
"Oh," Tsukune said. Then realized something: World War II was SIXTY years ago! How did Haru know someone from sixty years ago?
"Haru," Tsukune said to him, "Just how old are you?"
Haru looked at Tsukune. "I'm around 150 years old." he said.
Tsukune couldn't believe it. 150 years old? What the hell? He looks like a teenager now! How can he be around 150 years old?
Haru looked down at the gateway between Youkai and the human world. "Looks like your ride is here." he said.
Tsukune noticed that the bus was emerging from the dark gateway. It stopped near him, the door opening to reveal the driver that he met when he first came to Youkai.
"Hehe..." the driver said. "I had a feeling you would run away after all. I guess this place isn't for you, right?"
Tsukune looked away.
"No regrets, eh?" the driver said, "Well, come aboard."
Tsukune looked at Haru, and then the driver.
"Go on, Tsukune." Haru said. "I have to get back to Moka and save her."
Tsukune looked back at Haru. "What?" he said.
"I felt a disturbing aura a long ways back after you left. It's probably that Komiya bastard." Haru said.
Tsukune clenched his fists, remembering what Saizou said to him this morning.
"Go on," Haru said, looking back to the area he ran from, "I'll take care of it."
Tsukune stood there. He had two options: save Moka, or save himself. He knew that he would die, but he also knew that he couldn't stomach the idea of Saizou trying to hurt Moka.
At last, he made his decision.
"AHHHHHH!" Moka screamed as she was thrown towards a nearby tree.
"Oh mannnnnnnn." Saizou said, taking off his jacket, "I've been waiting a long time for the say I would be able to do this to a woman of your beauty. Compared to you, all the other women I've molested are nothing to me. I WANT YOU ALL TO MYSELF, MOKA AKASHIYA!" He then began to get bigger, and his muscles started to grow.
"S-Saizou?" Moka said.
"Oops." the beast said to Moka. "Looks like I can't stop myself now. When I get like this, I just can't stay in human form anymore!"
Moka was scared. "N-no..." she said. "Someone...help ,please..." She got to her knees and cried out, "TSUKUNEEE!"
"Hahaha!" the beast said, growing to almost the size of a house. "I'm going to enjoy this little violation of the rules!" he shouted, his voice sounding demonic.
"Noooo!" Moka screamed as the beast extended his long tongue around Moka.
But before anything else happened, Moka heard her name being called out. She looked around, only to see Tsukune running towards her, bags in hand.
"MOKA!" Tsukune shouted.
"Tsukune!" She yelled back. "Why?! Why did you come back?!"
"I have to tell you something!" he said, but then noticed the giant beast near her.
"Damn," the thing said, "You again? Didn't I already tell you to back off from Moka?"
Tsukune then began to see what the thing really looked like: a towering monster with greasy hair and a tongue that slithered around in the air.
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Tsukune screamed. "A MONSTER!"
"Run, Tsukune!" Moka said to him. "This thing is Saizou!"
Tsukune could not move fast, for the beast managed to swat him away like he was a fly in the air. Moka ran to Tsukune, seeing if he was ok.
"Tsukune!" she yelled.
"HAHAHAHAHAHA!" the beast, Saizou, said. "What's the matter, 'vampire'? Did you really think that you had a chance against me? You're too weak!"
Moka kneeled near Tsukune, who looked unconscious. "Oh no!" she said. "Even though you came back for me, you got hurt!" She then had tears streaming down her face. "I'm so sorry!" she said. "After all, human and monsters are different, aren't they? I'm a vampire, and I suck the blood of humans and end up hurting them. The truth is... the truth is that the whole time, I just felt like wanting a friend, even if it was at a human school." Tears streamed down her face even more. "But I guess it's impossible. I'll just end up hurting Tsukune as well." She closed her eyes. "I'm so sorry!"
Saizou stood nearby, witnessing the whole event. Oh God, he thought, it's time to end this little romance once and for all before I puke. He walked up to Moka, but was stopped by someone carrying a long duffel bag and was holding it in Saizou's way.
"Beyond this point," Haru said, looking at Saizou, "you shall not pass."
Saizou clenched his teeth. "You think you can stop me, BRAT?!" he yelled, sending his fist at Haru, who blocked it with the duffel bag, and forced Saizou back a few steps away from Moka and Tsukune.
"And just who the hell are you?" Saizou said. "Another wannabe vampire?!"
Haru said nothing, unzipping the top part of his duffel bag. "No, I'm no vampire. I'm something... worse."
Saizou rushed to Haru, ready to knock him away so that he can go back to Moka and the pest. As he threw his fist at him, Haru casually jumped, took out the item he hid in the duffel bag, and threw the duffel away, landing a bit behind Saizou.
Saizou looked back to see the item Haru held, and was surprised to see what it was.
It was a sword. A sword with a long, red blade and what looked like a wolf's head carved as the hilt of the weapon.
"Hey!" the beast said. "There's no weapons allowed here!"
"And I suppose trying to rape women is okay?" Haru said, holding the blade horizontally with the blade steady in the air. "I guess trolls aren't as brain dead as I thought they be, especially when they fight like cowards."
Saizou clenched his teeth, raising his fist as he tried to hit the guy. But Haru was too fast, swinging his sword down, catching Saizou off-guard, then delivering a slash from the left, forming a cross on Saizou's chest.
Saizou was sent flying to a nearby tree. As he got out, he noticed that the man was gone. As he looked around, he then noticed a whooshing sound, only to look up to see the guy going down with the blade pointed down and the man holding the handle with both hands. As he reached the ground that Saizou stood, the earth came loose, and Saizou was again sent flying in the air, crashing a few feet from Moka and Tsukune.
"What..." the beast said, getting up, "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!"
Haru raised his sword. "The first one was Lion Cross," he said, "and the other is called Tiger Meteor. They're just two of my many attacks."
The beast rushed to Haru, determined to crush this little black haired bastard and send him to Hell.
"One other thing..." Haru said. He planted his sword in the ground, took off his jacket, and threw it at Saizou. The jacket reached his face, and blinded him. He then crashed into yet ANOTHER tree. As he pulled off the jacket, he looked up to see the guy in the air, with angelic wings sprouting from his back.
"What the-." Saizou said "How are you- Where did you-"
"I'm an angel." Haru said. "The name's Haru Uematsu. Be sure to remember it, as I send you back to Hell."
He landed on the ground, and readied his sword.
Damn, Saizou thought, it's bad enough this bastard is making it impossible for me to molest Moka, but he's also an angel! An S-Class monster! I thought they were just stories! And that blade, what the hell is up with that blade of his? It should've broken by now when it hit me!
He looked at Moka and Tsukune. If I hurry, he thought, I can get to Moka and take her away from here to a private area and eat her then. I have to hurry!
He lunged at Moka, Haru rushing to stop him "Get back here, coward!" Haru shouted.
At that moment, a light shone from Moka and Tsukune. Haru stopped, looking to see Tsukune holding a Rosario. He then remembered that Moka wore a Rosario that looked just like that.
Oh, crap, Haru thought. Now we're screwed.
The light engulfed Moka, blowing back Saizou and Haru away from her. She then started to change, her hair turning silver, and in Haru's perspective, her aura was increasing to match a dragon's aura. It was unbelievable.
When the light died down, what was left was a monster. It looked like Moka, but it also seemed... different.
So, Haru thought, THIS is a true vampire!
"What's wrong, rogue one?" the vampire said, walking towards Saizou. "You want me, right? Just try to take me by force, won't you?" The vampire smiled, extending her hand, taunting the beast.
Saizou lunged at her, but the vampire showed no sign of weakness or change in position. It looked as if the blow did nothing to her.
"Know your place!" the vampire said, kicking the beast in the face and sending him flying away. The power she packed in that kick looked like it could've sent Saizou to another country!
"A low class monster like yourself has nothing to show for his size." she said. "It doesn't even make you a good opponent in a contest of strength."
Hear, hear, Haru thought. The brute was easy for me to take down.
The vampire then began to walk towards Tsukune. Haru readied his sword, in case she tried to attack any of them.
"What's wrong?" she asked Tsukune. "Are you scared of me?"
Haru noticed that Tsukune looked frightened, as if this vampire would kill him.
She merely snatched the Rosario away from him.
"Don't worry," she said. "I'm still tired from being sealed for so long. I won't harm you." She got close to Tsukune. "After all," she said, "your blood tastes good to me as it does to the other me..."
Multiple personalities, eh? Haru thought. Well, both Mokas DO seem different.
She turned to Haru. "So," she said. "You're an angel, huh? I don't think I've ever seen one like you before."
Haru nodded, picking up his duffel bag and storing the masamune inside. "Likewise." he said, even though he knew it wasn't true.
"I noticed the cuts on that beast when I kicked him." she said. "Seems you're both fast AND strong, hm?"
He nodded again. "Well," he said. "given some time, I'd have sent him back to the hole he crawled out of. Guess it's just not my day."
"Well," the vampire said before walking away, "I wouldn't mind facing against YOU sometime." she said.
Neither would I, Haru thought.
She then put her Rosario back on. "'Til we meet again," she said. "You both keeping looking out for the other Moka, 'kay?"
She then collapsed, both Haru and Tsukune seeing that she changed back into the pink-haired Moka again. Well, Haru thought as he merged his wings back into his back and putting on his jacket again, that's the end of that, I suppose.
The Following Day.
Haru walked across an overpass, stopping to see Tsukune and Moka running below the hall they were in.
Well, Haru thought, resting his duffel bag on the railing, and resting his elbows on the rail and his head on his arms, I guess Tsukune is staying after all. Still, I don't know why I went and talked him into staying. But I guess I wanted to make things interesting. Besides, if I'm going to fulfill my promise, I'd at least want it be be interesting. But either way, no one, not Tsukune OR God himself, can stop me now. If I am to succeed, I must... kill Moka Akashiya AND all the vampires in this world. She must be close to the Vampire King, and if I kill her, he'll send in vampires to try and kill me. It'll be easy. All I have to do is catch her at an emotional time, and kill her then. Don't worry, Ryu, Haru thought as he got up and walked away, I WILL keep my promise!
To be continued...
