Prologue

'What the hell is following me?!'Tsukune Aono thought to himself as he stumbled through the graveyard towards his new school, Yokai academy. A school that he only got into because his father had found a letter of acceptance on the sidewalk.

"I'm just a bat, WEE!" The bat announced to the world as if it could read his thoughts.

"Oh it's just a bat silly me." Tsukune said to himself, before having a bicycle rammed into his back. The rider of this bicycle was none other than the beautiful Moka Akashiya. 'She's gorgeous!' Tsukune thought to himself.

"Oh you're bleeding." Moka noticed and pulling out some cloth to wipe away his nosebleed. "That smell, I just can't help myself." She said, bringing her lips closer to him.

'What smell,' Tsukune thought before taking a wiff of her sparkling pink hair. 'Oh her hair smells so good.' His eyes adopted a love struck look, dulling all his other senses.

Moka then proceeded to take a nice nibble on his neck and sample this delicious smelling blood. "Oh I'm so sorry, I just couldn't help myself, I am a vampire after all." She said, backing away with an apolegetic look on her face.

'A v...vampire?! I mean I thought this school was pretty sketchy to begin with but this, this has to be some sort of practical joke on the new kid or something. This can't be real!' Tsukune thought all this while slowly backing away from this strange, beautiful girl.

Unbeknownest to either of them, a boy was stumbling through the forest and about to enter the graveyard. He was covered in wounds, bruises, and his exhaustion was evident. The blood was easy to notice on his stark white skin which was in direct contrast to his jet black hair. Completing his crazy image were his intense golding eyes, not showing any signs of pain or extreme tiredness. He stumbled into the clearing where Tsukune and Moka were having their moment.

"Take me...to the..." He never finished his first sentence to the two. He collasped, asleep before he even hit the ground.

"Oh my gosh! We have to help him Tsukune!" Moka said with pleading eyes. Moka went to grab his arms and motioned for Tsukune to take hold of his legs. They began the trek to the nurse's office with apprehension, after all it was only their first day of school. If this happened on just the first day who knows what they could experience as the year went off.

All the students that saw him were incredibly shocked, not only by his abnormal appearance but by the fact that young looking boy like him was excessively wounded and bleeding heavily. They may have been monsters but they were still just teenagers. "Is he going to be alright?" Moka asked who appeared to be on the verge of tears as they set him on one of the small cots in the nurse's office.

"Phhffttt...I'll be...fine, but now...I owe...you guys." The strange kid said, not even able to open his eyes and look at them.

"Who are you? And why are you...like this?" Tsukune asked, bewildered as to how a kid his own age could be acting so tough when he looked like he was on death's door.

"Takes a...lot more...than some...weak monsters...and angry hum...ans...to kill me. Go to class...let me rest...I might explain...everything to you two...someday but not...today." And with that the boy closed his mouth and fell in a deep sleep. Or at least it would appear that way, when in reality he just wanted to be alone with his thoughts for now.

"Come on Moka. He doesn't want us to bother him and we can check on him later but now we have to get to class. I don't want to get chewed out on the first day." Tsukune thought he very eloquently pointed out that fact.

"Tsukune how could you?! This kid is hurt and you are worried about class!?" A lonely tear dripped off of her cheek and onto the floor, the sound seemed echo off of the floorboards.

"But Moka he clearly doesn't want us here and I don't feel right leaving him either but right now we should get to class." Tsukune held her hand gently leading her to the door. "But we don't even know his name..."

All throughout the day that boy was a constant thought buried in the back of Tsukune and Moka's minds. 'What happened to him? Why didn't he cry out for help? Why did he seemed to act so tough in a situation like this?' But all those thoughts would have to wait until later in the day. Right now they had to focus hard on playing school nicely, after all it certainly doesn't look good coming to your class late on the first day of school.

Please read and review, I have been watching way too much of this anime and this idea popped into my head about an original character of my own making that would change the entire story. Also loosely based on the anime.
