A/N: I made this because there are only two other crossovers and the universes give me room to work in. I'll try to be faithful to canon but I may need to make some tweaks. I do not own Rosario + Vampire, Mass Effect or anything else I reference intentionally or otherwise. So without further ado.
Chapter 1: A Quiet Evening
Sunday, November 10, 2165 – Headmaster's Residence, Yokia Academy
Headmaster Tsukune Aono, never did he imagine he would be called that. Chuckling to himself he returned his attention to the student profile he was reviewing.
Name: Jennifer Solandro
DOB: March 15, 2150
Country of Origin: United North American States
Race: Human
Class: First Year
Extracurricular activities: Newspaper Club
Notes: Biological parents died in a car accident at the age of three and she was adopted by an infertile Yuki-Onna. Due to her rare situation she was given priority admission. Despite her unusual upbringing, her personality and psychological state are not unusually for a girl of her age.
Tomorrow after classes he had an interview with her for the newspaper, one of the things that changed when he took over was more interaction between administration and the-
"Tsukune come here and spend some time with your daughter" he heard from the family room.
"I'll be right there," he maybe an important individual but he did have responsibilities. Setting the folder aside he quickly made his way to the family room where his wife and youngest daughter awaited him.
"Daddy, quickly it's starting," his daughter called, sounding more authoritative than she should be able to. No matter what the day brought, they made it point to watch the nightly news together.
"Ruby, when have I ever missed the news?" he responded with a grin. While he never missed a night now, there were plenty of times he missed with his other children. They were upset at first, but as they grew older they understood why and forgave him on the condition that he never missed a night with their little sister. He readily agreed, not that he had much of a choice; they had gotten their aunt to support them. He maybe immortal, but a 100 kg morning star to the face still hurt. He quickly repressed that image and turned his attention to the TV.
"Hello I'm Susan Cater."
"And I'm Bill Wong. Tonight we have an update of the attack on the SSV Geneva."
"A confidential source inside the investigation revealed that the terrorist organization Cerberus was behind the attacks."
"If their pro-human, the why are they attacking the Alliance?" Tsukune asked, not expecting an answer.
"It's actually fairly clever," his gaze turned to Moka before he realized she wasn't the speaker, it was Ruby.
"What do you mean?" he inquired.
"If they take the antimatter from the Navy, we're forced to replace it and Cerberus can stockpile it until it's needed."
He wasn't sure what shocked him more, that the idea made some sense or that his daughter thought of it.
"Do you agree with them?" Moka asked their daughter, suppressing a slight worry.
"No, it makes sense for their goals, but they're wrong. Plus they harmed people."she replied with some venom. The slight tension in the room dissipated, she definitely has her mother intelligence and her father's sense of morality.
The rest of the news was unimportant, some politician proclaiming this, a group protesting that. When they mentioned the Batarians something felt off. He was disgusted by what they did but his position forced him to inaction. Quickly glancing at his wife and daughter he sensed what they felt as well; Moka too felt disgust, but also pain because she couldn't do anything. What worried him was what his daughter was felling: hatred. "Ruby, are you okay?"
"Why don't we stop them?" Ruby asked without an attempted to hide the rage she felt.
While he quickly thought up something about understanding and the cost of war but Moka beat him to it, "Because people in power find it easier to ignore a problem until they can pass it to someone else than to deal with it now. Alright time for bed."
After making sure Ruby brushed her teeth and turned off her lights Tsukune joined Moka in their bedroom. While he completely agreed with what she said, was it necessary to bring their daughter into it?
"I know what you're thinking and maybe it is too early to be explaining to her how the galaxy really works," Moka stated, almost apologetically, "but she will find out eventually and who would you rather teach her how to handle it, us or some self serving vermin."
"You're right, but I still would have liked to give her a few more years without having to worry about stuff like that." he replied as a slid under the blanket.
"I wouldn't worry, when she becomes a teenager she'll be more worried about impressing some boy than what some criminal is doing on the otherside of the galaxy," she stated with confidence as she joined him.
"That is of course you don't kill the poor boy," he teased as he tried to lighten the mood.
"I wouldn't kill him," she retorted in mock offense. An evil grin formed on her face, "I would just make him cry if he hurt her." She let out a yawn, with that they said their goodnights.
A/N: Not to sound like a recording but please review with constructive criticism. Is it too long, too short, not enough Krogan poetry, etc. Thanks for reading.
