Author's Note:
Well, I know I said it would be awhile before I wrote a new story. But since I had this idea, I felt like I had to start on it now. This will be a Rosario + Vampire and Ah My Goddess crossover. I won't be posting this in the crossover section since I have more readers that follow my Rosario stories. So please don't bring it up, since I will not post it as a crossover. Thank you for understanding. Title was suggested by my good friend on fanfic, Phoenix Helix. Thanks mate!
The characters from Rosario will take over the Ah My Goddess character roles but it will be a little different and loosely based upon the Ah! My Goddess OVAs from the early 1990's with a little bit of the anime and manga thrown in to follow canon and I'm not sure how many chapters this crossover will be in length. I will add my own to the story so it will be unique, of course.
Anyway, here's chapter 1. Any and all feedback is always welcome and appreciated.
I will do my best to stay as close to the original content with ny own twists, but the T rating might go up, towards the end.

Infinite space.
It brings with it so many different lifeforms.
And in this space can also be found the source of all life.
This is where the cycle of life repeats itself – within the endless flow of time.
So how did this vast universe come into being?
These stars that are born, only to vanish – in what way are their fates determined?
Fate.
Are all living things bound by this thing that we call "fate"?
And here on this tiny, blue planet – life also exists in many, different, forms.
And as much is determined by the hands of fate. Life begins – and ends, as well.
In the brief amount of time that they have, mortals live their lives as best they can until they last come to an end. This is a species that has always followed its desires and has continued to evolve.
Succeeding.
Failing.
Creating.
Destroying.
Could it be that even humans created all this, that they are still controlled by fate?
And if so, is this something that is completely immutable?
Furthermore, if someones fate were suddenly wrested away from them, to be controlled by an unknown being – with no regard to their free will. If indeed your fate was being controlled by the hands of some unknown being, then who or what could this unknown being be?

Goddess Relief Agency. Asgard.
A pink-haired goddess stared at a video screen that floated above her wooden desk. Off to the side of the rectangular monitor was a simple telephone, a pair of file folders, a 3 by 5 photo of her along with her sisters, and round mirror on a silver stand.
With a contented sigh, she continued to observe someone whom she had known for over half of her life. The goddess knew what she was doing was against the rules. But she felt as though she needed to watch over him and make sure he was alright, due to the fact that he was born under an unlucky star.
A moment later, a blue-haired goddess walked up to Moka's desk from behind with a small smile. She was a bit taller than her half-sister with a more-mature body type. Her name was Kurumu who was also a self-proclaimed "goddess of love" dressed in a provocative, purple and black gown; low-cut to her navel, with a gold sawtooth design around its perimeter.
"Moka? What are you doing? Are you cyber-stalking him again?" she said as she looked over her sister's shoulder and saw a certain someone on the video monitor.
"Oh, Kurumu... I didn't see you there," Moka replied as she quickly waved her right hand in front of her, which caused the screen to vanish into thin air.
"You're doing it again, sister. Ya' know if you get caught, you're gonna be in a lot of trouble," Kurumu answered as she placed both of her hands on her sister's shoulders with a sigh as she shook her head from side to side, in disbelief.
"I know. But I just can't help myself. He seems to be so down lately," Moka answered as a single tear trailed down her cheek as she choked back a sob.
"This can't go on forever. He was already punished for your mistake. You need to let go of him, Moka. If you don't... then someone's gonna get hurt again," Kurumu said as she bent down and gave her younger sister a hug from behind.
"I'm sorry Kurumu. But I just can't help myself. It was my fault to begin with. I - I..." the green-eyed goddess replied as she broke down in tears and gently cried.
"Oh Moka. I know. I didn't mean that – it's just that... look... I'm really sorry. Damn it. Me and my big mouth," Kurumu lamented as she snapped her fingers and then handed her sister a tissue. Moka took the tissue with a weak smile as she wiped her face with a sniffle.
"Thank you Kurumu. I really don't know what I'd do without you and Yukari," the younger goddess replied as she looked up to her elder sister.
"Hey, we're your sisters and we're always gonna be here for you if ya' ever wanna talk, Moka. You do know that, right?" she answered with a warm smile.
"Yes, of course. I'll be okay now, so thank you," Moka replied with a small smile.
"Anytime. I gotta get back to my post, so just do your best, okay?" Kurumu said with a smile as she turned around and stood in front of Moka's desk. She waved to her elder sister as she walked out of the office and back to her post in the Yggdrasil System Administration office which was located down the long corridor.

Meanwhile on Midgard, also known as Earth.
Nekomi Institute of Technology, Nekomi, Japan.
A lone college freshman sat in the room of his dormitory as he went over a mechanical engineering book and wrote down a few notes. His name was Tsukune Aono and he was for the lack of a better term "average" in every way, with dark brown hair and matching eyes.
The only thing that was not average about him was his keen intellect when it came to anything electronic or mechanical. Not only that, he was the nicest guy that anyone had ever met. He always went out of his way to help those in need, whether they took advantage of his kindness or not.
Due to his constant streak of bad luck, Tsukune was stuck once again in the dorm while his sempai stepped out for the evening to attend a party nearby while he was left behind to act as their "personal assistant" for the night.
* ring ring – ring ring *
With a sigh Tsukune picked up his pencil along with a small notepad and then reached over to the annoyance and answered it.
"Hello, Nekomi Tech men's dorm, this is Tsukune speaking... yes... I'm sorry, he stepped out for a bit... well, he should be back by nine... okay... yes... uh-huh, got it. Mister Yoshida. Right. Don't worry. I'll be sure to tell him when he gets back. Not a problem. Of course. Okay, bye."
He then set the receiver down and then sat back as he stared at the ceiling for a moment.
"I'll be stuck here all night taking messages for those guys, but they could've left me something to eat at least," Tsukune said with a groan as he set the note next to the others on the kotatsu (low table). He then reached over to a bag of chips and sighed again when he discovered that it was empty.
* grumble *
"Okay, I hear ya'. I know... eat now or there's gonna be trouble..." he said to himself with another sigh as he rubbed his stomach with his left hand.
"I guess I'll just have to order some take-out, before I pass out from hunger."
He then brushed his thoughts aside as he sat on the floor while he grabbed the phone-book.
After he scanned the pages for a minute, he found the nearby restaurants that delivered to the college campus.
He then dragged the phone over to himself, picked up the receiver, and then punched in a few numbers.
"Hello, I'd like to place an order for delivery, please. Not after six? Okay, I understand; thanks anyway," the young mechanic said, as he hung up.
"Yeah, thanks for nothing," Tsukune noted to himself.
This scene repeated itself a few more times and before long, Tsukune was about to toss the old rotary phone across the room in utter frustration.
"Oh come on. Give me a break. I'm starving here..." he said with a scowl.
He re-checked the phone-book one more time, as he punched in another number.
As he prepared another apology, he was surprised by a young woman's voice that he heard on the opposite end the line.
She had a lovely sounding voice and seemed to be rather excited.
"Good evening. Goddess Relief Agency, this is Moka speaking," she happily answered.
"I'm sorry... I was uh – I was wondering if you could help me..." Tsukune stammered, unsure of who had answered and what type of business he had called.
"I'll be stopping by in person for a consultation momentarily, Mister Tsukune Aono," she said as she quickly hung the phone up on her end.
"Um hello? In person? Consultation? Hello?" Tsukune said as he heard the busy tone. He then set the receiver down again as he looked up towards the ceiling.
"What the heck was that all about?" he thought to himself.
He had a brief moment to wonder to himself how the woman on the other end of the line knew his name, before the mirror above and behind him started to faintly glow blue.
...
...
The young college student's entire dorm room was suddenly enveloped in a mysterious, blue light. The old mirror that hung on the wall started suddenly to ripple like the waves across a lake, and began to glow even brighter.
"Ahhh! What the hell?" Tsukune called out as he looked above at the old mirror.
As he witnessed the supernatural phenomena before his very own eyes, Tsukune got up from the floor, stumbled across to the other side of his room, and knocked over his table; which sent all of his books, pencils, and notes flying to the floor.
She then suddenly appeared as she phased through the mirror itself.
A beautiful, young, woman aged in her early twenties, with flowing, bright pink hair, tied into a waist-length ponytail and held in place with a lavender scarf. She had the most beautiful eyes of emerald green. The deity was adorned in strange, cobalt blue and white robes, with a metallic gold saw-tooth design than ran along the border.
On her dainty hands she wore fingerless gloves of the same cerulean blue. She also sported several types of golden jewelry that adorned her hands, neck, ears, and ankles; such as earrings, necklaces, rings, and bracelets.
On her beautiful face were dark, blue markings that resembled a small, elongated diamond in the center of her forehead, along with two small upside down triangles just below her eyes on her cheeks.
"Hello? May I come in please?" she asked in perfect Japanese.
"Ah-hhh... who are you?" he asked, the look of fright in his eyes.
"There's no need to be afraid, Mister Tsukune Aono," she replied with a warm smile as she floated out of the mirror and then gently landed on the tatami-matted floor.
"Huh?" Tsukune said as he stared at the enchanting goddess before him.
"I'm sorry if I scared you. Please allow me properly introduce myself. I am the First Class Goddess, Moka," she said with a bow.
"Um... you're a – goddess?" he sputtered out as he sat on the floor in bewilderment.
"I am," she answered with another, warm smile.
"He really hasn't changed too much," Moka told herself with a slight blush.
"It's happened. I passed out from hunger," he said as he scratched the back of his neck with his right hand. She then slowly floated over to his side and knelt down before him. She then reached into her robe and handed him a business card while she bowed in the traditional Japanese manner when meeting someone for the first time.
Tsukune looked at the card and read it to himself.
Moka. Goddess: First Class. Commercial Category. Unlimited License.
He then placed it into the front, right, pocket of his faded blue jeans.
"Our job is to come to those who are in distress. I'm here to help people like you, Mister Aono," she explained with a smile.
"But – but I was – just hungry and t-tried to order some take-out," he stuttered out, unsure of what happened and tried to figure out how the woman before him got into his room in the first place.
"Order take-out? Is that what you would wish for the most?" she said as she slowly approached him. He blushed at her sudden closeness and tried to stay focused but found it rather difficult to do. He had never seen such a breathtakingly-beautiful woman in his twenty-one years of life.
Although he was still somewhat distraught by her literally appearing out of thin air, he felt oddly comforted by her presence. Something that reminded him of an earlier time, but was unable to recall anything, as if he were in a daze of sorts.
"I have been sent down here from Asgard to grant you your heart's desire. But the rules say I am only allowed to grant you one wish," she said as she held up her right hand and pointed her finger up.
"Asgard? Wait a minute. You're telling me that you can make any wish come true? You mean anything? I mean like anything, anything?" he asked with a bit of fervor in his voice.
"Asgard; as you mortals would call the heavens above. Yes. If you wished to have fame and fortune, you'd have more than enough money to last you for the remainder of your lifetime. Maybe you would wish to be a world-famous race car driver. Or if you wished to have your own harem, I could make that possible for you as well," she said.
'Why did I have to say that last part? Focus here, Moka. Your job is to make his heart's desire come true, not freak him out more than he already is!' the goddess mentally cursed to herself. Tsukune blushed at the very notion then shook his head from side to side. He then sat back and closed his eyes for a minute.
"However the rules also state that we cannot allow the earth to be destroyed but we do not deal with those sorts of people," she replied with a shrug.
...
...
'Hold the phone, Tsukune. Reality calling. There's no way stuff like this can actually happen. Goddesses don't really exist. This isn't some anime or manga here. Coming through a mirror like that. It had to be some kind of trick, right? That's it. That's it! Uh-huh. I bet they put a big hole in the wall and set this whole thing up! Uh-huh. I get it. I get it now. My sempai's are trying to set me up and think I'm a complete idiot. They didn't go to any party. They're just making fun of me because they know I can't find a girlfriend..." Tsukune thought to himself as he narrowed his eyes in mild frustration.
"But why? I can't believe that you of all people don't have a girlfriend," the goddess said. Tsukune then sat up and looked at her in confusion.
"Huh?" he replied as he tilted his head to the right.
'How did she know what I was thinking? Is she some kind of mind-reader or something?'
"Okay, let's stand up," he said as he stood up for a moment.
The Goddess Moka followed his example, repeated the action, and stood next to him.
"As you can see, I'm really short," he said as he looked at her with his arms folded behind his back.
"Hm, don't tell me that's the only thing keeping you from getting a girlfriend? It's not the size of the body that counts, but the size of the heart," the goddess said with a smile.
"I have bushy eyebrows and a forgettable face..." he continued.
"Well, I think they make you look rather distinguished." she replied with a blush.
He then reached into his front, right, pocket and pulled out all the Yen he had. He then tossed it on the table that he set back in place.
"See? That's all the cash I have until the end of the week. I'm very poor Moka and I do whatever odd jobs I can, just to get by," Tsukune retorted.
"Money alone, cannot buy happiness, Mister Aono," the goddess said.
"Thanks Moka. But you don't have to lie to me, just to make me feel better."
"But Mister Aono. What I say is the truth. As a First Class Goddess, under no circumstances am I allowed to lie," she stated.
"Please, call me Tsukune. Mister Aono is my dad."
"Very well then, Tsukune – if it will make you feel more comfortable."
"Thanks... um... if that's the case... then may I ask you a question?" he said as he glanced at her.
She then shook her head yes.
"Do you think I'm cool?" he asked with hesitation, fearful of her reply.
"Oh yes, I find you to be quite cool. And very cute, too!" Moka blurted out and then quickly covered her mouth with both of her hands; her cheeks burned red from her sudden confession.
'What's wrong with me? Why can't I do my job properly? I know it's him, but I have to stay focused,' Moka screamed in her mind as she tried to recompose herself.
"I knew it. You can lie. It's okay though. I'm used to it by now," he said as he hung his head low.
"No Tsukune, I meant every word I said. I assure you that I'm telling the absolute truth," Moka said as she looked at him with a sense of sadness in her heart.
He then sighed, sat back on the floor with his legs crossed, and looked away from the goddess.
'She can't be for real... she's just saying all of that, just to be nice to me... but if she is... then maybe I do have a shot, right? I mean if she isn't... then it was nice to be with her just for a while, I guess. What the hell do I have to lose anyway?' he thought to himself.
He then looked up to the self-proclaimed goddess with a sudden sense of purpose.
"I got it. I know my wish!" he said.
"Oh that's wonderful! So you've made up your mind already?" Moka said as she folded her hands in front of herself with a bright smile.
"I wish for you to be my girlfriend and to stay by my side forever!" Tsukune exclaimed.
"But since this is a joke, it's not gonna happen, is it?" he said as he rubbed the back of his neck out of nervousness.
The Goddess had only a brief second to comprehend his words, before a jet of blue light bolted from the diamond on her forehead as it blasted a large hole through the ceiling and continued upward until it was out of sight.
Moka hovered half a meter off the floor, as a gale force wind whirled throughout Tsukune's room which picked up all of his books and household items.
Suddenly the light vanished, the wind followed a few seconds later. Her eyes closed as gravity pulled her back towards the Earth.
As he saw that, Tsukune swiftly dashed forward just in time to catch her in his arms.
"That's odd. She's really light..." he said as he held her close.
The young mechanic knelt down and then shook her lightly, as he attempted to rouse her from the sleep-like trance.
"Moka can you hear me? Moka?" he said in a panic, as he wondered why she had fainted so suddenly.
He continued in his efforts for a few moments, while he grew more concerned by the second; but calmed down when she began to lightly stir.
"Moka... hey... Moka?"
"Tsukune?" she spoke in a groggy voice.
"What are you..." she trailed off.
Her eyes snapped open in realization, she swiftly broke away from his grasp before she ran over to the telephone.
"I'm sorry; but I need to borrow your phone."
After she she picked up the receiver, she rapidly punched in a series of numbers. Waiting anxiously for the call to go through, she lightly drummed her fingers on the floor.
"Hello, this is Moka in regards to the recent wish transaction."
"IT IS VALID," came a booming, male voice.
"But, Almighty One..." she said before she was cut off again.
"THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT, MOKA. DO NOT FAIL WITH THIS CONTRACT. SINCE THE WAY HE WORDED HIS WISH, YOU MUST STAY ON MIDGARD UNTIL IT IS COMPLETED. I HAVE SPOKEN. DO YOUR BEST TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT." the Almighty One ordered.
"Yes sir. I understand," the pink-haired goddess replied as she hung the phone up.
'Almighty One!? What the hell's up with my phone tonight!?', were the thoughts of a certain Tsukune Aono.
"I'm very pleased to inform you that your wish has been approved, Tsukune," she said with a bright smile.
"Oh that's nice... wait a minute! What? A-approved? My wish has been approved?" Tsukune shouted in utter shock.
"Well, yes. Now that the contract between us has been finalized... it appears that you and I will now be living together from now on, Tsukune," the goddess happily informed him with a blinding smile.
"Oh boy... I've got a bad feeling about this," Tsukune said as he wobbled a bit upon hearing the "wonderful" news.

A/N:
EDIT - Added a bit more today, March 4, 2015 to have it flow a bit better which did not affect the overall plot.
So this concludes chapter 1.
I know it follows the Ah My Goddess OVAs but will be a little different later on. Any good suggestions are welcome as long as they fit into my overall plot since I'm not sure how many chapters this will run. Feedback is always welcome as long as it stays "on-topic".
