Wow, I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of interest in this story. I guess it's because the Rosario+Vampire community is a good bit smaller than what I'm used to. It's also really refreshing to find that there aren't a million other stories already doing what I'm trying to do. Well anyways, a few responses to a few of the reviews. First off, thanks for the votes of support everyone, I really appreciate it.
To Guesto, I apologize for any 'choppiness'. For this story, I wanted to try to do something a little different so I decided to go first person. I've always done third person so it takes a tad bit of adjusting. I looked at the one place you pointed out and saw that I inadvertently went in to third person. I'm going to try hard to pick up on those little mistakes from now on. My plan is to take the format of Bram Stoker's great work, Dracula, and tell this story via journal/diary entries. That way I can I delve in to the perspectives of different characters. And no, there will not be any OCs in this. Well at least as far as big characters go. There are of course going to be some differences from the original since this is a what if story.
To Dragoon, This is not really a shounen story but there will be some action later on like in the manga.
"Let's see…" Ms. Nekonome said as she pulled out her class roster and searched for the student's name then continued, "Ah you're Saizou Komiya. Well I can assure you that it's impossible for a human to come here. You see, this school lies within a special zone inside a barrier that keeps all humans out. And besides, even if a human was able to make it inside the barrier, they would be killed instantly, meow!"
It was then that I could feel all of the color leave my face. What kind of place was this? It wasn't just what the teacher had said, but how upbeat and unnerved the tone of her voice when he said it. As if she was talking about something as trivial as the weather. That was what the life of a human amounted to in this place, to these….monsters. If I was found out, I was a goner. Now I understood the bus driver's warning. I had to escape this place. As soon as I could, I would return to the bus stop and take the quickest bus out of this strange place, this Yokai Academy. But for the time being, I had to act normal. As far as I could tell, no one was able to tell me apart from all the rest since everyone would have to stay looking normal. I had to get under control and calm down a bit; I needed to think of something else.
Ms. Nekonome continued to talk about the school and how they were all there to learn how to act and behave more like humans. Apparently that was the goal of this academy, to teach everyone here to act like humans in order to blend in. That thought made my imagination begin to run wild. If monsters were real, and they did live within the regular world, then did that mean that I had possibly met other monsters throughout my life? That they were simply disguised as humans? It was possible. What about my friends from middle school? What if some of them were actually monsters in disguise too? Thinking about this started to calm me down a little bit. If monsters did inhabit the world and all pretended to be humans, then maybe I wasn't in as much danger that I thought. Obviously if monsters meant harm to humans, then they would do so, right? I carefully looked towards my right side, seeing that large scary looking guy. The one the teacher had called Saizou, maybe he was the exception. Ms. Nekonome said I'd be killed if I was found out, but maybe that was just to keep this place a secret. Maybe that was the reason.
Another question soon came to my head after that, if there was some sort of magic barrier that kept humans out, then why was I able to enter this place? Was the barrier broken, or was I possibly special? Maybe there was another reason? I couldn't help but think back to the strange way in which my dad had gotten me in to this school in the first place. Had that really just been some freaky coincidence? Okay, I was now officially letting my imagination run wild.
Later on that day after classes had ended, I walked outside under an overpass to a vending machine to get something to drink. I figured it would help to calm out my nerves, and hopefully re-hydrate me since I had been sweating bullets throughout most of the day. I'd have a nice drink, go to my dorm room to get my things, and then head straight towards the bus stop to wait it out. It was strange, I had never been all that popular back in middle school, but never before in my life had I ever felt more alone. Isolated. Being all alone surrounded by monsters that could probably rip me apart with their bare hands left me with a heavy weighted feeling on my body. All of a sudden, I jumped when I heard a voice behind me say, "Umm, excuse me….are you okay?"
I whipped my head around to see the pink haired girl from my class standing there and staring at me with a pair of big green eyes, her long pink hair flowing a little as the wind started to blow. I blushed a bit seeing the pretty girl talking to me. In the back of my head, I knew she was a monster but she was so cute. "Ohh…heh…uhh yeah I'm fine really! Why do you ask?" I asked, stammering a bit.
"Well you were standing in front of the vending machine and not moving or saying anything. Are you having a hard time deciding what juice to pick?" She asked in an innocent voice. I don't know why, but I felt calm with her around. She certainly was polite for a monster.
"Oh! I'm sorry, I guess I'm in your way." I said and quickly inserted a few coins in to the machine and then pressed the button. I looked down when I heard two loud rolling sounds in the bottom of the machine. I looked down and saw that the machine had messed up and gave me two cans of juice instead of just one. I smiled a bit at the nice luck and reached down to pick them up. I stepped to the side a bit as the girl walked up the machine and inserted money of her own. I looked at her and asked, "Do you like either of these kinds? The machine accidentally gave me two."
"Oh wow! You're so lucky! Thank you, but I already put my money in." The girl said with a bright cheerful smile on her face. She then hit the button for tomato juice and one can dropped down. "We're in the same class, aren't we? My name is Moka Akashiya." She said as she took a drink of the tomato juice.
Moka. What a strange yet fitting name for her. It was sweet and comforting, just like her. It was obvious why all the guys in our class had been bedazzled by her as soon as she first walked in. It wasn't just her looks; there was an overwhelming sweetness to her. But I couldn't help but think that this girl was still a monster. I smiled at her and replied, "It's nice to meet you, Moka. My name is Tsukune Aono."
"Tsukune…" she said in that sweet voice. She then looked off in the distance and back to me. "I uhh…I have to go." She then ran off without any warning or explanation. I started to wonder if it was something I had done. This was becoming really depressing. There were these really beautiful girls at this academy, but I seemed to repel them. Maybe it was for the best, since they were all some sort of scary monsters. I then saw that scary guy, Saizou walk by. He asked me if I had seen Moka. I instinctively lied to him and told her that she went an opposite way. Maybe he was following her, and that was why she ran.
There was nothing left for me to do, so I took my two cans of juice and went back in to the school. I went up to the second floor, where less 'people' were. I leaned against the safety railing that went around the perimeter and looked down at the floor below me at all the different groups walking from one place to another. I tapped one of the juice cans against the railing and thought about how strange it was that they all were some sort of strange monsters. They looked so normal.
I then heard the sound of soft footsteps behind me. I looked over to see the other girl from my class, the one with blue hair, walk up to the edge of the second floor and lean against the railing a little. She placed arms parallel along the wooden railing and then leaned over, resting her head on her arms. She was staring down at everyone below us, and she had the strangest look on her face, a mixture of frustration and disappointment. I was curious to know why she looked that way, but I was also hesitant, afraid of what she had said before about me smelling human. Could that be enough to give me away? I wasn't sure, but for some reason it ended up not stopping me. I walked over to her side and asked hesitantly, "Umm…is something wrong?"
She turned towards me and those big amethyst eyes looked straight in to mine, her lips parted with a questioning look on her face once she had realized I was there. She stood back up straight and said, "Oh…it's you. The one from before." She paused and looked down to see that I had the second can of juice. She looked back up at me and smiled a bit, "Did you buy that for me?"
"Oh umm….not necessarily….but you're welcome to have it, if you want. I was given it by mistake." I told her with a small blush on my face, stuttering a bit when I spoke. I couldn't help it; this girl was by far one of the most beautiful girls I had ever met before in my life, monster or not. I couldn't help but notice though that she frowned a bit when I told her I hadn't bought it specifically for her. Maybe I would have been better off saying something different. I held the spare juice can out to her and said, "Please, go ahead if you want it."
She hesitated for a moment before she took the juice and opened one of the tabs and then took a drink. She slowly lowered the can from her pink lips and looked at me, "Thank you. So, what's your name?" She asked.
"Tsukune Aono. Are you new here as well?" I asked, trying to make casual conversation to seem more normal. To act as if I was supposed to be at this school. Hopefully I wouldn't give away that I was human.
"Tsukune hm? I'm Kurumu, Kurmu Kurono. And yeah, this is my first day here." Kurumu replied.
"So, you looked kind of upset about something. Are you…homesick? Or did something happen?" I asked curiously between sips of juice. Homesick? Could monsters even be homesick?
Her eyebrows furrowed a bit and she made a sour face once I brought up the topic. "As a matter of fact there is something wrong. Something very VERY wrong! I was so excited about today because it was the day I could finally put my amazing plan in to action, but then that rotten little Ms. Perfect had to show up and ruin everything!" She said in a frustrated tone.
Of course, I was completely clueless as to what she was talking about, but I guess she just wanted to vent. Was there someone here that she knew from a past school that she didn't like? "Uhh, what do you mean? What is this plan of yours?" I asked.
She turned towards me and a seductive grin slowly spread across her face. "Oh…you want to know, do you? Well if you want, you can be in on it and help me." I blushed a bit as she slowly started to step towards me, her hips swaying sensually as she came closer. She then stopped though, and to be honest I was a little disappointed. She looked down at the first floor below us and growled a little, "Ugh! There she is. Look there."
I looked down at where she was pointing, and I saw Moka walking through the hallway. As she walked past all of the guys, they ogled her and went on about how pretty and amazing she was. "Moka? Why are you mad at Moka? Did she do something wrong?" I asked curiously. Even though Moka was a monster, she seemed too nice to be making enemies, especially on her first day.
"Yes! She's making all of those stupid boys fall for her instead of me! What idiots! Are they blind? There's no way that she's prettier than me, not even close! I won't lose to her, I just won't!" Kurumu said angrily.
I thought I was starting to understand what the problem was, but in reality I was so naïve to what was really going on. I smiled a bit at her and asked, "Oh, do you feel jealous of Moka?"
Kurumu looked at me with enraged eyes when I said that and she quickly grabbed on to me by the collar of my shirt. "What? Of course not! Why would I ever be jealous of her? Are you trying to say I have something to be jealous about?" She asked.
"N-no! Of course not!" I said nervously, suddenly remembering that this was a monster I was talking to. With my free hand, I reached up and touched her hand. This seemed to surprise her a bit and her grip slowly loosened on my shirt so I was able to pull away. "I just want to say that…well if you do feel that way, then you shouldn't." I blushed a bit and paused. I hesitantly continued and said, "What I'm trying to say is that you're very beautiful, Kurumu. Just because Moka gets attention from guys doesn't change that. I've seen lots of guys eyeing you as well."
Kurumu smiled a bit at me and then started to grin again. She then pressed her body against me, especially her big boobs. I felt my whole face become hot and red in reaction from the sensation. But there was nothing I could do, they felt so soft. She looked up at me with those beautiful eyes and said in a low sultry voice, "I see….so is that you're way of confessing to me, Tsukune? I noticed that you were the only guy in our class that still looked at me when Moka showed up. You like me better than her, don't you? That makes me very happy. And you know what? I've now thought of a wonderful plan to exact my revenge on little Moka, and you're going to help me. You're going to be my first."
I blushed even more and asked, "Your….your first? What do you mean by that…?" I was curious and yet excited to find out the answer. I had never had a girl come on to me like this before in my whole life, and to be honest it was kind of nice. Something that I could definitely get used to. But from the sounds of things, Kurumu wanted to do something bad to Moka. I didn't want to have any part in something like that.
"My first slave of course, the first of many. Now look in to my eyes." Kurumu said as she stared up at me with those eyes. For a second, I thought I saw them glow a little. It was then that everything became sort of fuzzy. I felt a warm sleepy feeling overwhelm my senses and my body started to act on its own. My arms wrapped around Kurumu, making her giggle happily. She ran her hands up my chest and then slid them around my neck. She stood on her toes and leaned in closer to me. I could feel my heart racing against my chest. Her lips were coming closer and closer to mine. Was she really going to kiss me?
Part of me felt the need to pull away, yet part of me wanted to stay. It didn't matter though, for some reason I couldn't control my body. It was as if I was under some strange spell. I heard Kurumu whisper, "And with this kiss, you will now be mine forever, Tsukune." My eyes widened when I felt her soft pink lips touch mine. I had never been kissed by a girl before. It was such a warm, soft, and tingly feeling. But I soon realized that there was something wrong. This was no ordinary kiss. That was the last thought that went through my head as everything else went black.
The next thing I remember, I was opening my eyes and looking up at the sight of an unfamiliar ceiling. I was in a bed that wasn't mine and I had a throbbing pain in my head. I groaned and slowly looked around. I appeared to be in the nurse's office. There was a ringing in my ears, and as it started to fade I could pick up a blurred out sound of…someone. It was a girl…and she was…crying. My senses started to become clear once again. I looked over to my right side to see Kurumu sitting in a chair beside the bed; her eyes were puffy and swollen with tears in her eyes as she stared at me. A small sweet smile formed across her face. She looked relieved for some reason.
"Oh Tsukune!" Kurumu exclaimed and then practically jumped at me. She wrapped her arms around my head and buried my face tightly between her big breasts. Her fingers were becoming tangled in my hair as she sobbed out, "I'm sorry! I'm so sorry, Tsukune! I promise to never use you like that ever again! Please forgive me."
As she apologized and cried over something I couldn't even remember, all I could think about was not dying of suffocation. She was holding my head so tightly to her chest that I could barely breathe. I tried to speak but it was muffled out by Kurumu's…..well you know. I started to wail my arms about a bit and grabbed on to her arms and tried to pull my head out of her cleavage. I was eventually able to pry my face out and I gasped for breath. I looked up to see Kurumu sitting on the bed, still teared up and staring down at me. I slowly sat up and asked, "Kurumu? What happened?"
I had a lot of internal arguments over how to go about this chapter. Mostly from either trying to follow the original story with just minor changes or trying to just take it my own way. I decided on a place between and instead just really tried to think of what if this scenario continued as so. Therefore I tried to base things purely on how the characters would react to things. It was a little difficult for Kurumu since she had her change of heart in only a single chapter/episode, but it hinged on Moka and Tsukune being together.
Anyways, next time will be through Kurumu's eyes and we will see what happened for Tsukune to wind up in the infirmary. Thank you so much for reading, leave a comment or review if you'd like, and tune in next time!
