Well, this is my first go at a revised story. Then again, Vampire soreto Rosario to Vampire was my first go at a story. Look how that turned out! (With a really crappy ending). Now that we've acknowledged that my ending for that fic sucked, it's time to move onto new news. This story. I essentially made it because I want to preserve Vampire soreto Rosario to Vampire; considering it's the first fic I've managed to go through with, and reach 50,000 words. In this fic, I plan to go over 100,000; meaning that there'll be more than 17 chapters, and Tsukune won't die (as early).

Those of you criticizing his death: I edited the very end of ch 17 (the point at which we establish he's dying) for it to make more sense. Here's a summary.

-- "Kensei" realizes he's dying, his body disappears b/c he's a clone (info found in the sequel)

-- Tsukune (CU Tsukune) is told by Moka that he's dying as a result of his fight with Kensei

-- Moka (CU Moka) claims that she will get vengeance.

All in all, interesting way to end?

Anyways, I hope you enjoy all 4,221 words of this chapter. I know I enjoyed writing it (but seriously, it took forever...)

Review/PM Replies:

Ghostknight (Vampire soreto Rosario to Vampire Ch17;today): I know that it doesn't give any concrete hope, but isn't it more realistic that way? I don't plan my writing because I like spontaneity, and I think that you can't depict life unless it all happens on a whim. That's not to say that I don't have a huge long term plan, but everything along the way just happens. Like Tsukune's death. That was randomn shit.

Jared (PM;today): We're all wierd in our own way. I respect your opinion, and I'm redoing this story because I feel that its something every good author should do: write your story as best as you can, and revise it. Add some fluff here and there, change the characters to make them more believable, etc. The F2 and F4? I thought there wouldn't be any complaints if they were mysterious, but I guess I was wrong. If that happens in this story, I'll explain it more in-depth.

Alhazad2003 (Review;13daysago): Thanks for your comments, I suppose the plot portion was brilliant, but the writing itself... wasn't. I should've hinted towards a sequel more, and etc.

I'MNOTCRAZY1 (Review;May20): Thanks for your critique, it helped me decide to redo the chapter, and the story (well, not totally help me decide on the story-redo). I hope you're reading this, and that you'll call me out on any future mistakes I made. God knows that they'll be there ;)

ON WITH TEH SHOW~! (~800 words from A/Ns)

It was a dark, stormy night in Tokyo, and there was a lone man walking down the road of the normally occupied Shibuya district. He seemed to be wearing a large, dark cloak which covered most of his body, and a ring with a blood-red ruby in the center. This particular ruby was different from other rubies. It had the characteristics of an eye, and occasionally; it would even light up! This man had short, spiky white hair, eerie red eyes, and short, sharp nails which could slice through brick. Anybody who came within 3 metres of him immediately knew that something was off about this man, and they stayed as far away from him as possible. As he was walking down the road, he smirked as another human ran for an inexplicable reason. It was the fact that they actually ran from him that amused him the most. Anybody with an ounce of pride would be willing to walk alongside him, or even behind him!

As he was walking, the man came along a dark alleyway in which there seemed to be numerous thugs. His eyes narrowed as he beheld the sight. Three men, all wearing dark clothing and black hats were cornering a girl into an alleyway. One man in particular had long, brown hair; and an unmistakeably long tongue. The girl's emerald eyes were wide in fear, and her pink hair was in disarray; clinging to her forehead as she backed away. Her breathing was erratic, causing her green school uniform to rise and fall at different paces. The man frowned as he watched. She had a rosary hanging off of a chain on her neck… That could only mean one thing.

As the men began to move closer towards the girl, she screamed, "Don't come near me!" The men only laughed at her words, finding them more amusing than threatening. Sadly, she backed up too far, and hit the wall. It seemed as if she would be very, very sad for the next few years.

The "innocent" onlooker's eyes began to revert from red to blue, his hair became blonde, and his body grew in size and mass as he watched. Before any harm had befallen the girl, he charged in and tapped one of the men on the shoulder.

"Hey, what the?! Get out of here!" One of the offenders tried to swing at him with a knife, which was promptly caught and thrown out of his reach. The girl's saviour punched the man in the head, sending him flying back into the wall and knocking him unconscious. When another man rushed him, the poor man lost a vital part of his anatomy. When he faced the last man, the one who had dark brown hair; nobody was there.

The girl was staring up at him with wide eyes, and her erratic panting eventually slowed. "T-thank you…"

"It's no problem," he gruffly replied. 'Ah geez, I suck at disguising my voice…'

"What's your name…? I'm Moka," Moka smiled as she fell to the floor, her exhaustion finally catching up to her.

"I'm Tsukune." Tsukune smiled, before mentally berating himself. 'Ah shit, shit, shit! I gave her my real name! Idiot!'

Moka seemed oblivious to his discomfort as he helped her up, allowing her to lean on him. "I… need to get… to the bus stop…"

"No, you need rest. If you go wherever looking like that, it won't create a good impression." Tsukune deadpanned.

"But––"

"No objections. I'm sure there'll be another bus tomorrow."

Moka pouted, but silently followed him to an inn. When she wasn't watching, his eyes became red again, if only to give off an ominous impression. Once they arrived at the inn, she was shocked. It was huge! Nothing like her father's castle, but still huge! The hotel seemingly towered over them as they walked inside. As he walked up to the desk; Tsukune briefly looked around at the plush sofas and seats.

"One room, two single beds." Tsukune said to the attendant.

The attendant, an old man in his late 40s took in their appearance: Tsukune with his burly structure (still hasn't changed to vampire/real human form) and Moka with her messy hair and wrinkly uniform. "Uh… If you want to rape her, take her somewhere else…"

Tsukune's eye twitched, "I… am… not… raping… her…" he spoke coldly, inspiring fear within the attendant.

"A-al-alright then." The attendant weakly smiled as he handed Tsukune a key in exchange for a hefty roll of bills. Once Tsukune was out of view, the man collapsed and released a large breath of air he didn't know he was holding.

Tsukune and Moka went into the room as Tsukune's eyes reverted back to their fake blue, and Tsukune frowned once he saw the bed. Yes, the bed. Not beds, bed. Tsukune turned to Moka, "I'll get him to exchange this room right away…"

Tsukune was almost out of the room when Moka grabbed him by the arm, and averted her eyes. "It's fine… I trust you."

Tsukune frowned, "There's some things you shouldn't do…"

Moka's lips moved in a tentative smile, "Like saving a total stranger?"

Tsukune smirked, "Pretty and funny! I think we'll get along just fine…"

Moka went to take a bath as Tsukune stared out the window, his hand occasionally brushing away a stray clump of hair. As Moka exited the bath, Tsukune looked towards her, "Finall—" Moka was wearing nothing but a towel. A very short towel at that.

Moka noticed Tsukune's gaze and asked, "Do you have any clothes I could wear?"

"Of course." Tsukune hurriedly threw a large, topaz shirt at her, and a pair of denim jeans. He looked out the window again as Moka was changing, only turning back once she seemed to be done. Tsukune brushed past her, and he went to take a bath.

Tsukune lowered himself into the tub, leaving his elbows on the edge of the tub, just out of the water's reach. As he stared at the ceiling, millions of thoughts were rushing through his head. Moka was going to Youkai Academy, just as he was. He never should've given her his real name!

Tsukune's head jerked up as he heard a knock on the door. "Can I wash your back?" Moka asked, her melodic voice entrancing him.

"Ye---Uh… It's fine, I can do it myself," Tsukune nearly slipped up. Upon hearing Moka's footsteps lead away from the door, and fade away; Tsukune relaxed again. After an eternity of relaxation, Tsukune got up and dried himself off. As he tried to leave, he tripped and his hand hit a sharp object, cutting it immediately. Tsukune's other hand decided to protect his crotch, managing to leave him in a very compromising position.

"Are you okay?!" Moka rushed in, gasping as she saw Tsukune. His hand was… bleeding.

"I'm fine." Tsukune smiled reassuringly as he got up, taking his towel with him. As Tsukune was close to the bed, the smell of blood reached Moka.

Moka tentatively walked towards Tsukune, her eyes glazing over as the scent overtook her. Tsukune looked at her and his eyes immediately widened. Sadly, before he could do anything; she pounced, leading them to an awkward position. Moka was on top of a naked Tsukune with her hands on his shoulder, his right leg between hers. Tsukune tried to get up, but before he could do anything; Moka bit into his neck. Tsukune's knee jerked up instinctively, but he managed to take any force out of his reflex. Irregardless, Moka noticed his movement, and she moaned loudly as his right knee ground into her pelvis.

Her senses coming back to her, Moka skittered back, apologizing profoundly. "I'm so sorry! It's just… I…" Moka trailed off, at a loss of what to say.

"You're a vampire." Tsukune deadpanned, covering himself up again, trying not to blush.

"How did you know?!"

"I guessed."

"Do you… hate vampires?" Moka asked tentatively, praying.

"That depends. Do you hate… people like me?" Tsukune smiled sadly as he began to transform. Tsukune's blue eyes became a deep chocolate brown, while his spiky blonde hair became ochre brown. As his facial features were changing, Tsukune's body began to shrink, removing a lot of muscle and mass. The end result? A weak-looking human.

Moka took in a startled breath, "You're a shape shifter?"

Tsukune laughed, "I wonder… I suppose you could call me a monster, but I'm not a shape shifter… Not totally"

Moka frowned, "But you just changed your shape, how could you not be a shape shifter?"

"You don't have to be a shape shifter to change your form; just like you don't have to be a runner to run."

Moka was full of questions, but Tsukune refused to answer any of them, saying that it was about time that they go to sleep.

Moka crawled into the large king-sized bed and pulled the comforter above her, "Tsukune, come on!"

Tsukune looked at her, startled. "You want me to sleep with you…?"

"Of course, where else were you going to sleep?" Moka smiled as Tsukune grudgingly laid on the bed, leaving the comforter at his mid-thigh height.

Tsukune stared at the dark ceiling, images flashing through his eyes. The death of his father… His mother crying as he walked towards her; sakura petals falling freely on the ground… Waking up with red eyes… Destroying their house… Finally, a figure in a cloak beckoned to him as he looked back towards his mother, her eyes damp with pride and… sorrow?

After an infinite amount of time, Tsukune finally fell asleep; losing himself to the dark abyss within his own head. He awoke to a weight on his chest, and slivers of sunlight resting on the floor. As Tsukune looked down, he raised his eyebrows to see Moka with her head on his chest, and hands restricting his movement. "Moka…." Tsukune shook her, frowning as she refused to wake up. "Moka, wake up."

Moka's eyes slowly opened, blinking in confusion. Once she took in the situation, Moka apologized. "I'm sorry; I shouldn't have rolled onto you!"

"It's alright, but I think we should hurry." Tsukune pointed at the clock. It was nearly time for the bus to arrive.

Moka's eyes widened and she quickly changed into her now-clean school uniform, quickly brushing her frazzled hair, running to the bus stop with Tsukune in pursuit. Once they'd both reached the stop, a yellow bus pulled up and its door opened; revealing a young man wearing a bus cap which cast a shadow over the rest of his face. His eyes eerily glowed and they were unable to ascertain exactly which color his eyes were. Moka gave the bus driver a smile and walked onto the bus, taking a seat near the middle. Tsukune gave the driver an informal nod and sat beside Moka, looking out the window.

"You're in Youkai Academy as well?" Moka asked in surprise.

Tsukune's eyebrows raised, "Didn't I tell you that I was a student there? Must've forgotten or something… Yeah, I'm a freshman."

"Really?! Me too!" Moka ecstatically exclaimed, making the bus driver quietly laugh.

"You should be careful; Youkai Academy is a very scary place." The driver finally spoke, his voice gruff.

"I've seen worse," Tsukune replied, leaning back in his seat.

Moka looked at Tsukune curiously. What exactly did he mean by that? There were so many mysteries about him…

"Of course, boy. Why not tell an old man your name?" The bus driver laughed as they approached a tunnel.

"Where's the old man?" Tsukune laughed, "I'm Aono Tsukune. I'd ask you for your name, but you're the last person who'd ever tell me."

The bus driver laughed again, "Smart boy. You've got bad odds with that attitude, though."

"If I die, I die. Why worry about what can't be controlled? Besides… It's not as if I'll die here," Tsukune smirked, causing Moka to frown. How could he be so sure of himself?

"Much as I'd love to talk more, we're here. Make sure to take care of that girlfriend of yours."

"She's out of my league," Tsukune laughed as he walked off his bus, Moka following with a slight blush on her face.

Before Moka got very far, the bus driver called her back, "Girl. You should watch yourself around here. If not yourself, then at least watch out for him."

Moka nodded slowly and ran back to Tsukune, her mind racing as she tried to ascertain what the bus driver meant. Couldn't Tsukune take care of himself?

Tsukune and Moka casually walked to where the entrance ceremony would be held, and sat down. It was easy to tell the difference between the two of them. As Moka listened intently to the chairman's speech, Tsukune simply stared at the ceiling, nearly catatonic. As Moka responded to the chairman's questions, Tsukune twiddled his thumbs. As Moka went to introduce herself to the chairman, Tsukune stood up and got ready to leave. They seemed to be polar opposites.

Tsukune waited patiently for Moka as she ran back towards him. While Tsukune was looking her way, he noticed the chairman wave at him.

"You could've atleast introduced yourself!" Moka chided as they both walked towards their class.

"I could've…" Tsukune trailed off.

"Why didn't you?"

"If he needs to know me, he will."

"You're too cryptic," Moka commented.

"It's no fun otherwise," Tsukune laughed as they finally came upon their classroom. Tsukune took a seat close to the window, and Moka took the seat directly beside his, and continued to criticize him. "Still, it would've been polite to introduce yourself!"

Tsukune sighed and placed his arm around her shoulders. "Well, I could introduce myself, just like the other 3,000 students at this school could. It's just too much of a hassle." Tsukune turned back towards Moka, "Hey, are you OK? You look a little pale."

"Yeah, I'm fine…" Moka smiled weakly. Truth be told, she kept remembering last night.

Tsukune frowned and removed his arm. "If you say so…"

Thankfully, Moka was spared having to reply when the teacher entered. The teacher - Ms. Nekonome, had sandy blonde hair, and seemed to be amazingly easygoing. "Alright class! Welcome to Youkai Academy! I'm your homeroom teacher, Nekonome Shizuka! Ah, I think you guys already know, but Youkai academy is a school for monsters," she shifted her weight and pointed her stick towards the board, "As you know, the world is under control of humans, and for the sake of coexistence, we have to learn to get along with them!"

"Why can't we just eat them, and rape the girls?" A boy with dark brown hair and indigo eyes asked, letting his large tongue run along the length of his lips.

"Well, you could do that…" Tsukune started, "until you get shot down by an AK-47 and then experimented on, killed, or bred as livestock. But hey, you get to rape girls and eat humans! Great plan, genius!" His voice positively reeked of sarcasm! Moka looked at Tsukune with wide eyes, as he laughed some more.

"Why you!"

"You can't do that, Saizou-kun. Besides, everybody here is a monster!" Ms. Nekonome chided, sending Tsukune a warning look.

At that point, Tsukune began to tune out; ignoring the occasional glare he got from Saizou. Once class ended, Moka dragged Tsukune out to look around the school. She seemed to gush over all the architecture, from the classrooms to the library. Finally, she stopped at a drink machine. Moka got a can of tomato juice, puncturing two holes in it so that she could drink from it. Tsukune decided to buy some luscious vanilla coke (Cuz it's awesome. Too bad they don't sell it anymore). Moka turned towards Tsukune, frowning. "Why did you have to criticize him in class?"

"He said something stupid. The teacher would probably just tell him that he can't do that, and he'd just ignore her and eat humans. Somebody has to knock some sense into that kid." Tsukune replied nonchalantly.

"Still, you didn't have to do it in front of the whole class. Now he might try to hurt you!" Moka sounded strangely concerned about his wellbeing.

"He can try…" Tsukune smirked, "I doubt he'd have a good chance at it, though…"

"Why's that?" Moka became frustrated, "You talk as if you're better than him! How are you going to stop him from killing you?!"

"I'm not." Tsukune gave Moka a sombre smile and returned to sipping his coke.

Moka became largely confused, "If you're not going to stop him from killing you…"

"I'm not going to stop him, but that doesn't mean he'll be able to." Tsukune patted her on the shoulder, and pushed her out of the way as a hand rushed towards him; sending Tsukune flying.

"Tsukune!" Moka gasped, concerned.

"Why's a pretty girl like you hanging 'round a dork like him?" Saizou laughed.

Tsukune stood up casually and brushed himself off. "Isn't that just your own biased opinion?"

Moka ran towards Tsukune and tried to run away with him, but he stood his ground. "I'm with Tsukune!" Moka yelled, clutching his arm possessively to her chest once she realized that he wouldn't run.

"Enjoy him while he lasts," Saizou laughed and walked away.

"Oh, she will. But what about you?" Tsukune smirked, unsurprised as Saizou ran towards him and tried to attack him. Tsukune simply ducked under Saizou's punch, sending Saizou off balance. Tsukune pushed the idiot forward and laughed as he crashed into the ground, making an enormous dent.

"You bastard!" Saizou yelled, trying to get up, to no avail.

"Call me what you want," Tsukune laughed as Saizou fell again, "I'm not the one trapped on the ground."

Moka simply stared with wide eyes, offering no resistance once Tsukune pulled her with him. "How… did you get him to fall?" Moka asked, genuinely curious.

"I pushed him while he was off balance. He wasn't fast enough to stop me, or smart enough to see it coming." Tsukune smirked in self-satisfaction. "Oh, hey, you wanna go check out the forest? I bet there's some interesting stuff there."

Moka simply stared at Tsukune. His mood changed quickly… "Of course, Tsukune…"

Tsukune led Moka deep into the forest, making sure to remember the exact position of the sun. It might be bad to get lost in these woods… "So, what do you think of the school?"

"It's fine…" Moka replied, unsure of what he was trying to do. First he led her deep into the woods, and then he asked her a simple question… What if he was going to rape her? But Tsukune wouldn't do that… Would he?

"Get behind me, and stay there," Tsukune whispered gravely after an interminable silence.

"Bu—"

"Now!" Tsukune yelled and pushed her behind him as a tree flew towards him. Behind the tree trunk was Saizou, in all his unearthly hideousness. He seemed to be an orc, as indicated by his large muscles and stature. Moka gasped and hid her eyes behind her hands as she waited for Tsukune to cry out in pain. It never came. Moka tentatively opened her eyes, and gasped. Tsukune had caught the tree… Without even letting out a grunt! Tsukune smirked and shifted his weight, "Well, Saizou… I guess it's not my fight anymore," Tsukune laughed, throwing the tree trunk to the side, subsequently falling, and grabbing Moka's rosary.

Moka's eyes widened as her rosary fell off. "He… took it off?"

Tsukune seemed to fall to the ground in slow motion, as Moka's features changed. Her normally vibrant, emerald eyes had become scarlet red, and her pupils had become slits. Moka's luscious, pink hair became awe-inspiring silver, and her face gained even more prominent beauty than was previously visible. Her bust grew, barely able to be contained within her bra, and her waist and hips also grew in size; giving the impression that she was a sexy adult, rather than an innocent teenager. Moka grabbed Tsukune before he could hit the ground in order to stop him from following.

"So you're the one who awakened me?" Moka frowned, testing out her body. She tried out a few kicks, and glared at Saizou, who was quivering in his boots.

"Those red eyes… That silver hair… that yoki… She's an S-Class Vampire!" He yelled, pointing out the obvious.

Moka gave him a toothy grin, exposing her long fangs. "So?"

"I can't even move… No, it doesn't matter! I'm stronger!" Saizou rushed at Moka, and Tsukune winced as she met him halfway and gave him a roundhouse kick, sending Saizou flying back through the trees, before he finally landed on the ground, unconscious.

Moka turned her head towards Tsukune, and moved faster than most people would be able to see. She tried to kick him, but Tsukune ducked, unsurprised as Moka threw another kick with her remaining momentum. Tsukune jumped above her feet and waited for the next hit. It never came. "So you're not a normal monster… Just what are you?" Moka narrowed her eyes. She personally didn't mind, but it might be interesting to fight somebody of the same level.

Tsukune looked around and gave Moka a hug, startling her. "I'm a human," he whispered quietly, enunciating each syllable.

"I doubt it." Moka replied, not breaking his hug.

"That's the official story." Tsukune pulled back and gave her a grin, showing all his teeth. Before her eyes, all of his teeth grew in size until they were as long as Moka's fangs. "I'm special."

"Oh really." Moka deadpanned; her melodic voice full of sarcasm.

"It's a long story," Tsukune winked, and went to walk away.

Moka reappeared in front of him. "I've got time."

"I'm sure you do, but it's a secret." Tsukune brushed past her, "Oh, you're welcome for the rescue."

Moka's eye twitched. "Rescue? I thought you were the one falling down."

Tsukune rolled his eyes, "Did I not say 'It's not my fight anymore'? Did I not save you from a bunch of rapists?"

"So you decided to go and push your fight off on me?" Moka narrowed her eyes and pulled back her lips, about to bite Tsukune's head off. Literally.

"Well, I thought you'd like to get revenge on your attempted rapist." Tsukune laughed, "Saizou was one of the guys who tried to rape you, but he ran away. He didn't want to, but I'm sure his instincts got the best of him."

Moka's eyes widened, "What?" She sped towards Saizou before Tsukune appeared in her path, efficiently stopping her.

"I don't think you want to do that, Moka. It's dishonourable to kill an unconscious person." Tsukune put his hands in his pockets and gave her a lazy smirk, infuriating her.

"I don't care!" Moka hissed, "now get out of my way!"

Tsukune held his hands up in surrender, "If you're willing to live with yourself afterwards…"

Moka stopped mid-step. "Live with myself?"

"There's a punishment for killing other monsters. The only reason they don't tell any of us about it, is because they want us to stop out of compassion, not fear." Tsukune laughed.

"Then how do you know?" Moka whipped her head towards Tsukune, her long hair obstructing her vision.

"I have connections."

"Can I rough him up?" Moka pouted, making Tsukune wince.

'Isn't she supposed to be tough? Unless…' Tsukune frowned, "Not anymore. It's not self defence anymore."

Moka scowled, "This is annoying. I have a rapist on one side, and an arrogant human on the other," her voice was dripping with disdain.

"Oh, do you hate me then?" Tsukune smirked, leaning against a tree.

"It doesn't matter," Moka replied simply.

"On the contrary," Tsukune walked up to Moka and stared her in the eye, "It matters to me." His eyes became partially magenta, startling Moka.

"I'm sure it does, but not to me."

Tsukune brought his hand up to caress Moka's cheek. "That's a shame."

Moka slapped away his hand, "Don't touch me."

"Oh, really? Why not?" Tsukune smirked as he leaned in, whispering something into Moka's ear.

Moka suddenly blushed and grabbed the rosary from his hand, clasping it on quickly. She fell forward as her features returned to normal, and Tsukune sighed as he caught her.

"I guess she couldn't handle the truth," Tsukune laughed, quieting down as Moka began to wake again.

To Be Continued.

Kay, interesting, right? If you don't already, know, lots of stuff will differ from the original storyline.

This time, Tsukune's more of a "block and counter" type of guy, rather than a "I'll kick your ass if you make one wrong move" guy. Refreshing, eh? Moka will be a little different because of the near-rape experience (I MADE A NEW TERM :D). I understand how a rape victim would feel, and how a normal person would feel. Just not how a near-raped person would feel. So I'm just guess-feeling here.

Lastly: My updates will be somewhat infrequent this month and next; I've got exams this month, and summer school next (91 freaking hours of french! FML)
