Death Walks Again
I do not own Rosario+Vampire or Darksiders or any of the characters. I own only Nyxaros/Death II. The original Death Character from the games is owned by THQ and Vigil games
Author's note: Alrighty this began as simply a Rosario story until Haseo55 suggested this idea to me. It sounded cool, so I thought I'd give it a try, so read and review if you like it. Also, CONTAINS AN OC, SO IF YOU DISLIKE OC'S, DON'T READ THIS! Don't flame me simply for using an OC, or I will block you so fast, your head will spin. Just saying. Although, I encourage you to send me any ideas or questions you have and I will try to answer them. I will try to update fairly frequently, though I am currently working on my Sekirei fanfic A New Kind Of Ashikabi, and as that is where my heart lies this will be a background project. I hope you like it. This story will try to follow the manga. This happens 2000 years after Death saves Humanity at the end of Darksiders II.
Chapter 1- A New Vampire On Campus
Somewhere out among the many worlds of this universe, there is a place where entities older than living memory sit and keep balance between the factions of Hell and Heaven,it is here that our story begins...
"How are we supposed to replace the Pale Rider, if all we do is send him to school and watch him. He will never be what the original once was at this rate, and the artificial reapers will only work for so much longer before they turn against us" said the First angrily, but that was hardly surprising, he was always hot -tempered.
"Patience, if we were to restore his memories and powers now, he will only be angry at us for framing The Red Rider, and we cannot afford to fight him right now, not with The Balance being so precarious right now, Humanity is still young. They have not yet recovered from the End War, their society is still infested with monsters, while the First and Second Kingdoms have had 2000 years to grow in might. His seal must be broken by the Destined One, only her love can restore him to full power while influencing his personality in such a way as to ease his anger at us." said the Third, one known for being slow to rouse ,and wise and fair in all things.
"This is true, but still why can we not hasten their meeting? Surely it will not hurt to speed up the process. Nyxaros still has no idea of who he really is and while he is quite powerful, he is no match for any of his brethren. Also, did we have to make his new body from the Shinso, Alucard's flesh. This may result in him being far more powerful than he was before. I believe this was an unwise plan." said the Second, who questioned all things.
"Nonetheless, we all agreed this plan was the best course of action to combat The Destroyer and his forces. If we hasten their meeting it could be disastrous, remember when Abaddon started the End War early? It is due to hastening events that we are in this position, for now we must sit and wait. Has it also escaped your notices that the Creator is strangely absent from the First Kingdom? We need the Pale Rider now more than ever, and this plan is the only viable option we have right now. The Pale Horseman will meet his Destined One soon enough, anyways." said the Third.
Back on Earth...
Nyxaros walked down the dark path that led up to Yokai Academy. He sighed, he couldn't believed he'd missed the bus to school on his very first day. This day was not looking like it was going to turn out well. At least he'd remembered to wear the uniform that day. He had his book bag slung over one shoulder. The tall young man was dressed in a black variation of the Yokai Academy uniform, with a black blazer, along with a black dress shirt underneath it, as well as a pair of black dress pants with it, along with a set of black dress shoes. His silver hair stood up coming to a point in the front. His red eyes roamed around the path in front of him. He noticed the entire path looked like it had been decorated for a haunted house. Gnarled, twisted trees lined the path along with what appeared to be a makeshift graveyard sat on the side of a hill that bordered the path. He wished he'd worn less black today, he was starting to sweat underneath his clothes. He heard the sound of a ringing bell behind him and turned, just in time to see a girl on a bicycle plow into him from behind.
They tumbled to the ground in a twisted pile of limbs and bags. Nyxaros rubbed his eyes and looked up to see a pair of white panties sitting not 3 inches for his nose. The girl they belonged to groaned and stood up. She was wearing a school uniform and had long white hair with red eyes, she was cute. Really cute. Nyxaros blinked and asked,
"Hey, you okay?" he asked as he stood up and dusted himself off.
"Yeah, but you should watch where you're going." she said harshly as she turned to face him.
"Well unfortunately, I am not blessed with eyes in the back of my head, like some yokai are. Some would say that you being the one on the vehicle, as well as the one who ran into me are the one at fault." he said haughtily. It was then that he noticed a metal cross laying in the ground with a red eye in its center, he reached down and picked it up to examine it.
"Whatever, I don't have time for you, I'm late for class. Hey! Give that to me!" she exclaimed as she snatched the cross from his hand and took off down the path towards the school on the pink bike she had been on when she collided with him. He sighed and resumed walking toward the school.
He arrived at the school and found his classroom without further incident. He took a seat in the back next to the window. He watched on in silence as students piled into the classroom over the next 20 minutes. He was joined in the back by a succubus and an Orc that sat in front of her. He said nothing to either of them. Then he watched as a boy sat down in front of him. The boy smelled... odd. He sniffed the air and it occurred to him a second later why, this boy was human! He smirked this was odd, a human at a school for monsters but he supposed stranger things could happen, none came to mind, but he was sure they existed.
After that the teacher came in, introduced herself as Shizuka Nekonome and explained what the school's function was. He snorted derisively, everyone here already knew what this place was. Though he noticed that the boy in front of him didn't, guessing from the way the human was shaking. He turned to see that the Orc was eying the boy quite intently. The Orc's tongue was out and wagging about in a quite vulgar display.
"Put that tongue away Orc, or I shall remove it from your person." he said sternly. The Orc boy turned, along with half the class to look at him and opened his mouth to speak when the teacher chimed in,
"Who are you young man? You're not on the class roster." she said inquisitively. He sighed, his dad had promised him this would've been cleared with the dean of the school. Oh well, it wouldn't be the first or last time his dad lied to him.
"I'm Nyxaros Yami, I transferred here from Noctus Academy. I was told you would be informed of my arrival." he said simply. He heard many of the students in the class gasp in surprise, Noctus Academy was a military school renowned for its harsh training methods. He had graduated at the top of a junior high class of 8 werewolves, 4 Youko, 3 Raijuu, 4 Incubi, and 2 particularly nasty Yoki-Onna in addition to himself.
"Meow, I remember that memo now. Well, Mr. Yami I would like to formally welcome you to Yokai Academy." she said nervously, she had hoped this boy wouldn't show up today, the file on him indicated he had a temper. Just then a girl stepped into the classroom, she had long pink hair, sea-green eyes, was wearing the typical school uniform, along with what appeared to be the same rosary the girl that had run into Nyx earlier. Maybe they're sisters, Nyx thought with a shrug.
"Sorry, I'm late, I got a little lost." she said, nervously laughing as she did.
"That's okay, why don't you introduce yourself to the class." said Ms. Nekonome.
"Hello, I'm Moka Akashiya, it's nice to meet you all." the girl said brightly. This caused a host of whispers among the boys of the class regarding this cute new girl. Though everyone was shocked when she called out,
"Tsukune, I'm so glad we're in the same class!" she cried out as she jumped forward and hugged the human in front of Nyx. After that the teacher told Moka to find a seat, she took the desk in front of Tsukune. The rest of the day passed by dully until lunch, when Nyx spotted Moka heading to the same vending machine he was walking to. After he grabbed his tomato juice from the slot at the bottom, he turned to see her waiting patiently. Now seemed as good a time as any to ask her, he thought.
"Hey Moka, I'm Nyxaros, though you can just call me Nyx. I sit behind Tsukune in class. Do you by any chance, have a sister with long white hair and red eyes? Because a girl looking just like you with white hair ran into me on a bike this morning." he asked casually as he stepped out of the way so she could use the machine.
"Oh, that was you? I'm so sorry, that was me who ran into you this morning. I look like that whenever the rosary on my chest is removed." she said as she gestured to the cross on her chest.
"Ohhhh. So you're a vampire?" he asked.
"Yea, how did you know?" she asked, surprised.
"I'm a vampire too. Though I don't use a rosary seal, I've heard those can cause split personalities. I have a different type of seal. I can't exactly show you it here though. But what's up with you and that boy Tsukune? Are you two dating?" he said.
"No, we're just friends." she said with a smile as she grabbed her drink from the vending machine. Just then Tsukune walked up,
"Hey Moka, how's it going." he called over to her as he jogged up to her.
"Well, I'll let you go, it looks like I'd only be a third wheel here." Nyx said, turning to leave.
"No, come on stay and hang out with us, you seem nice." she said placing a hand on his shoulder. He shrugged,
"Alright, if you insist. I have to use the restroom though, I'll be back." he said as he took off towards a restroom he head seen on the way there earlier. On his way back to Moka and Tsukune, he saw Tsukune had been thrown into the vending machine. He turned to see the Orc Saizo Komiya, looming over Moka. It looked like he was hitting on her, but it was obvious that she had no interest in him. He took off towards Saizo at full speed, a few milliseconds later, he was standing between Moka and Saizo.
"Why don't you leave this nice young lady alone before we have a problem?" he said seriously. Saizo grunted and looked like he was going to hit Nyx, then thought better of it. He turned and stomped away. Nyx turned to see Moka had run over to Tsukune and was kneeling next to him. The boy was going to be sore, but Nyx could tell he was going to be fine. He headed back to class and the day passed without incident until on his way out of the main building over to the dormitories he saw Tsukune running down the hall, followed half a minute later by Moka. He decided to follow them and headed in the direction they had been running at a quick walk. Halfway there he saw a dome of pink light appear next to what looked like the bus stop. Suddenly Nyx felt the yoki aura of a powerful S-Class monster appear, it was unmistakable, it belonged to a Vampire. Nyx arrived just in time to see Moka in what he guessed was her real Vampire form, kick Saizo into the side of the cliff he stood on. Tsukune was sitting against the signpost holding the rosary seal from her chest, he was unconscious. Poor boy, he's probably never seen a monster fight before, thought Nyx.
"Wow, that's an impressive kick you've got there." he called down to Moka. She looked up at him and scowled.
"Oh, it's you again." she said disdainfully.
"Yep, me the guy you ran into this morning." he said as he jumped down and landed on the ground.
"Yeah, well you should have gotten out of my way." she growled at him as he walked up to her.
"I'll make you a deal, if you can beat me in a fight, I'll admit that you're right and I'm wrong and I'll never bother you again..." he said as he came to a stop a few feet in front of her.
"What happens if you win?" she asked uncertainly as she narrowed her eyes at him.
"If I win. you have to go on a date with me. Not your other self, you." he said confidently with a grin.
"Why?" she asked incredulously.
"'Cuz I think you're pretty and I wanna get to know you better." he said as he put his hands in his pockets.
"Hmph, Fine. It looks like you need to learn your PLACE!" she shouted as she took a fighting stance and launched a powerful kick at his midsection. He dodged it effortlessly and rushed behind her, appearing behind her right shoulder.
"You may be stronger than me thanks to my seal, but I know for a fact I'm much faster than you. Even though, I'm a Vampire as well, I trained against several Werewolves and Youko at Noctus Academy. I became top of my class after I realized I had to be faster than them to win. I'm in a totally different league of speed." he said as he appeared behind her. She whirled around angrily and tried to kick him once again. This time he rushed backward and appeared next to Saizo.
"Hold still!" she said as she moved to kick him again. He sighed, this was going nowhere. He rushed forward before she could kick and flipped up her skirt, revealing her white panties for the second time that day. Her face turned bright red as she moved to cover herself.
"How dare you?!" she asked furiously and moved to punch him, he effortlessly dodged again. He had to end this quickly, he thought. So before she could recover from her wild swing, he rushed forward and slammed his knee into her stomach. He grimaced, he hated fighting women, but he had to do it.
She hit the ground hard clutching her stomach. He rushed over and grabbed the rosary seal from Tsukune's hands.
"Sorry dude, gotta borrow this." he said quickly as he swiped it from the boy. He rushed back over to Moka as she was getting up and put the rosary seal on her neck before she could stop him and make him continue fighting her. Her hair turned pink and she collapsed onto the ground. She woke a few minutes later to see Nyx kneeling over her.
"Sorry I had to be so rough, did I hurt you?" he asked her.
"No, I'm fine. How's Tsukune?" she asked as she sat up.
"He's fine, I made sure to check on him." he said truthfully
"Thanks, so why did you challenge the other me to a fight?" she asked as she got up and headed over to Tsukune.
"I've seen her type before, and she would've said no if I just asked. I knew challenging her to a fight was the only way to get a date with her. I would've asked you but I can tell you like that human boy Tsukune better than me." he said as he followed her over.
"How do you know he's human? He didn't tell anyone except me." she asked worriedly as she turned to look at him.
"The same way you knew, I could smell it in his blood." he said.
And so, after they manged to make sure Tsukune was alright and not going to leave Yokai Academy, Tsukune and Nyx headed to the dormitories to get their rooms. After Nyx found his room and got settled he finished what little homework he'd received that day, he went to bed early. His mind all the while on his upcoming date with Moka...
Author's Note: Alrighty please read and review. I will most likely skip most of Season 1, so expect plenty of time-skips. Moka is 98% likely not to be Nyx's Destined One, Inner or not. That title will most likely be held by another little lady. I will expand more on his horseman abilities later in the series, perhaps the End War happens for real this time, Seven Seals broken and everything. I don't know. Anything. Could. Happen. PM me any questions you have.
