[Disclaimer] I do not own any rights to Naruto or Rosario+Vampire nor any of the other franchises I might be taking ideas from. I just want to make an entertaining story, so please don't sue me. Besides I don't have any money.
(Author Notes) First off thank you everyone that took the time to write a review. I got some rather good reviews for having such a short first chapter. I really had a hard time deciding if I was going to put Tsukune in this story. I eventually decided that I was going include him in the story if only to push the plot along. I am really trying my best to prevent this story from being cliché. However I fear that for the first few chapters it will be, but I will try to fit in enough unique things in order to keep it interesting. Anyway enjoy this longer chapter.
XXXXXXXX
It did not take long for Naruto to make his decision. The package that The Bus Driver gave him contained a little pamphlet that contained information on Yokai Academy. The information that was provided made it seem like a normal school with a live on campus. However, something about the pamphlet seemed to be missing.
Look underneath the underneath, seemed to echo in his head. There was definitely something unsaid in the information he was given, but what exactly that was he was unsure. He really did not like the mystery that surrounding the school, however he did not want to waste this chance. He could wait and languish wondering what to do or he could cautiously take this chance.
So here he was, waiting at the bus stop; the information he was given told him to wait at this designated place to be picked up. He was already wearing the green school uniform that was provided in the package. Now he had to be patient, luckily he did not need to wait long as the dinky little bus from before pulled around a corner.
"Good to see you decided to come, hop on." The Bus Driver said after stopping the bus and opening the door.
Naruto got on and saw that beside the driver the only other person on was a stunningly average looking guy in the middle of the bus. Whoever this guy was he really did not have any distinguishing characteristics; if you were looking for this guy specifically in a crowd you might look for hours and never find him.
Was he tall, nope, average. Good looking, nope, average. There was nothing particularly interesting on the guy that stood out. It was kinda impressive in an odd sort of way.
"Hey there." Naruto greeted warmly.
"Hi." The nondescript person returned. "Is this your first year at Yokai?"
"Yeah, its my first year." The blond responded.
"Both of you are going to Yokai Academy for the first time." The Bus Driver called from the front. "You had better watch your backs it can be a really scary place."
"W-what?" The new guy stuttered.
"Oh don't worry about him he seems to get his kicks from being creepy." Naruto said." I'm Naruto Uzumaki its nice to meet you."
"Oh um I'm Tsukune Aono." The newly identified Tsukune responded. "Its nice to meet you too. So what do you know about Yokai? I didn't get much information about it."
"I don't know that much about it either to be honest." Naruto answered. "I was only accepted recently by Ol-spooky up there."
"Oh. Alright then." Tsukune said dejectedly.
Over the next half an hour Naruto spent the time trying to get Tsukune involve in conversation. It was a little hard to keep a conversation going when he could not give that much information about himself, because honestly he could not remember all that much about himself. Even the information he did know he really did not want to share, and it might be a bit weird to say that he was a super awesome warrior with amnesia.
"So anyway after failing the entrance exam. My parents somehow got me into Yokai, and I don't know anything about the school, I don't even know where it's at." Tsukune finished.
"Yeah I honestly am not entirely sure where it is either." Naruto admitted. "Not to be mean or anything but high-school acceptance exam isn't that hard is it?"
Naruto did his best to hide any indication that he hadn't even taken the high-school exam. He was pretty sure he had been to school before, why else would he have such a deep seated dislike of school.
"Well you see I don't function all that well in stressful situations." Tsukune sighed his shoulders sinking. "I knew a lot of the questions, I just took too long second guessing myself. Before I knew it the time was up and I had barely answered half the questions."
"Well that sucks what kind of-" Naruto started before getting cut off as Tsukune's phone started to ring.
Naruto let his mind wander as Tsukune started to speak to someone named Kyouko.
Soon after the bus drove into a very dark tunnel, and Naruto felt it. While Tsukune was vainly trying to talk into his phone Naruto knew that this was no ordinary tunnel. Again Naruto wondered if he had gotten himself into a trap of some sort.
However, it seemed if it was a trap that it was not going to be sprung just yet as The Bus Driver stopped and announced that they had arrived. Naruto and Tsukune gathered their things and got off.
"Wow its like a completely different world here on the other side of the tunnel." Tsukune shivered.
"Yeah I guess so." Naruto agreed, and he meant it. The smell was radically different, gone was the smells of industry and oil. However the new smells did not sooth him entirely either, there was the faintest sent of blood in the air, and he would have preferred the smell of more trees. The scent of blood might be explained away by what looked like an entire ocean of blood. Naruto hoped that was just a trick of the light, otherwise that was just creepy. A small part of Naruto's mind wondered why he wasn't more on edge from a creepy forest of dead trees and an ocean of blood, maybe something about the environment called to a part of him.
"Is that the school over there?" Tsukune wondered aloud, pointing to a distant building.
"I wish you boys luck you're going to need it." The Bus Driver said closing the doors with a dark chuckle.
"Thank you!" Naruto called as the bus pulled away. "Good luck to you too, creepy bus dude!"
"That wasn't entirely nice." Tsukune commented.
"What he drives a bus and he's creepy. I think he likes it that way." The blond responded.
"Hold on a sec while I call Kyouko back."Tsukune said grabbing his phone and dialing. "Huh, thats strange I had a signal before we went through the tunnel."
"That's not disconcerting at all." Naruto thought with his limited knowledge of cellphones.
Naruto and Tsukune started walking down the path. Tsukune was quite on edge as the calls of crows and owl fill the air.
"Gahh!" Tsukune cried out as he took cover from a flock of bats that flew from a small opening in the ground.
"Wow you are really jumpy buddy." Naruto laughed as he reached down and pulled his new friend to his feet.
"Yeah well this place really gives me the creeps, maybe we got lost." Tsukune said, then quickly turned around as he heard a squeaking sound. "What was that?"
Naruto heard it too but was distracted by an odd feeling coming from the sky.
"Kou! I'm a bat!" Said an oddly shaped bat as it flapped overhead.
"Did that bat just speak?!" Naruto asked incredulously, suddenly another memory wracked through his head causing him to bend over and grab his head.
"Summoning Jutsu!" He heard himself call before the memory cleared and he saw large orange toad wearing a vest.
"Hey Gamakichi!"
"How's it going Naruto?" The orange toad responded. "What did you summon me for?"
Naruto shook his head as the vision passed. "Okay maybe I have had prior experience with talking animals, I just haven't remembered it all yet. Jutsu huh?"
"Naruto?" Tsukune called to him questioningly.
"Don't you worry Tsukune, We will be just fine, because I, Naruto Uzumaki am here." The amnesiac reassured with a thumbs up and big smile.
Tsukune saw the smile and was bit reassured, however neither of them were prepare when a pink haired girl on a bike zipped out of the woods and slammed into Tsukune.
"How did I not hear that coming?" Naruto thought with a look of shock on his face.
Tsukune and the girl got tangled up and rolled away finally stopping a few yards from Naruto.
"Ouch." Tsukune groaned as he slowly got up. "Uhh that hurt."
Naruto walked over just as Tsukune placed his hand on the girls leg right below her short skirt. Both males seemed to pause for a second in shock.
"Oh I'm sorry, I just suddenly got all dizzy." The girl said looking up and brushing a pink tress from out of her face relieving her amazing looks.
"Wow she is gorgeous." Tsukune thought as the girl shifted a little causing his hand to slip between her legs right above the knees.
Naruto seemed to have regained his voice. "Wow Tsukune you move fast." He uttered dryly.
"Its not like that!" Tsukune defended himself extracting his hand from the girl's legs, as a trickle of blood fell from his nose.
"Oh know you're bleeding." The pinkette said as she moved in with a handkerchief
While the girl leaned in to care for Tsukune Naruto was examining her with every sense he had. She looked normal, but the hair and eyes reminded him of someone he knew. Again a memory was on the edge of his mind that would not come, it was maddening he just couldn't remember.
"Naruto." A girl's voice conjoled him, however Naruto shook it off and continued to examine the girl.
She smelled nice just like a pretty girl should, but underneath the subtle perfume was that same sorta familiar smell like The Bus Driver but not quite the same.
"What is it? What am I trying to remember, my nose knows it but why can't I?" Thought the blond futilely.
Naruto's thought process was shot down as he heard the girl say something about "vampires" and bite Tsukune's neck.
"You bit me!" Tsukune cried as she pulled away.
"I'm really sorry about that." She apologized, then paused as she reached down for something that had fallen out of Tsukune's bag. "Are you going to Yokai too?"
"Oh yeah." The shocked brunette said. "Its our first year."
"That's great!" She said with a smile, looking towards Naruto for the first time. "Mine too. I have to ask you guys. What do you think about vampires?"
Tsukune brushed himself off as he got up, thinking she was joking. "Vampires? I don't have a problem with vampires at all."
The newly identified vampire smiled brightly, before turning to Naruto. "And you?"
"I really don't know much about vampires." Naruto replied honestly. "But I would be happy to find out."
"That's great!" She said as she put a hand around each boy's shoulder and pulled all three of them into a hug. "In that case, do you think we can be friends?"
"She's surprisingly strong." Naruto thought feeling the strength in her arm. She may be cute but his instincts told him to be on guard regarding all business involving Yokai Academy.
"Yeah sure." Tsukune answered, still caught up in the euphoria of meeting such a cute girl. "We'd be happy to be your friends."
"Oh my name's Moka Akashiya." Moka identified herself. "I was so worried I might not find any friends here."
After Naruto and Tsukune introduced themselves they continued to the school for the opening ceremony. The three of them entered the school to see crowds of students moving around the halls. Everybody seemed to be rushing around and it was a bit overwhelming without even noticing the chaos pulled the three of them away from each other.
Naruto tried to calmed himself, and after a few deep breaths he opened his senses allowing him to focus on his environment. Despite doing his best to calm himself he was still on edge he had been avoiding people for a month and now there were so many around him. There was also so many smells surrounding him, each person had their own unique scent but they all had that one little familiar smell that he knew he should remember but couldn't.
After following a group of students he eventually made his way to the auditorium for the opening ceremony. Standing on his tips of his toes Naruto tried to spot Tsukune but soon remembered the boy's power of disappearing in a crowd do to his sheer average-ness. The blond did spot Moka, her pink hair was easily seen through out the auditorium. However, every seat around her was taken so he decided to take a seat near the back. The loud chatter in the room quickly died down as a man in white slowly walked to the front. It was the same priest looking guy from earlier in the week. He wasn't speaking very loud and he wasn't using a mic but the spooky Headmaster's voice seemed to carry easily to the back as it reverberated around the room. It seemed like a standard speech everyone stay one your best behavior this, study hard that, blah blah blah, but Naruto could barely focus on it. He was too preoccupied as his mind tried processed all the information around him as well as attempt to list of his options now that he was here.
The students were eventually released and major headache was begging to form as Naruto followed his nose and tracked down Tsukune after the ceremony. Luckily it turned out they had the same homeroom. The two of them found their class and chose window seats one in front of the other. Finally seated Naruto spent the next few minutes trying to relax as much as he could. The blond rubbed his temples as he tried to remind himself why he was here. He didn't like school, he clearly remembered that and there were just so many people here. A few deep breaths helped him as he shook himself out of his anxiety.
"What am I worrying about?" He thought trying to encourage himself. "I'm Naruto Uzumaki, I don't back down from a challenge, I can handle whatever this place throws at me."
His little pep talk did help as he relaxed and focused. That's when his nose pointed something out to him. All of the students, even the newly arrived teacher had that same familiar part to their scent.
Everyone except for Tsukune. He smelled like most of the other people he had encountered since he had woken up a month ago in Tokyo. Again he even smelled average, but not here. Here in Yokai he could tell that Tsukune smelled different from everyone else. Naruto would have to figure it out later as the bell rung.
"Well, good morning students."The teacher said. "If you are new here welcome to Yokai Academy. My name is Shizuka Nekonome and I will be your home room teacher."
Miss Nekonome seemed to be a bright and cheerful person but something about her reminded him of something else
"Tora?" Naruto wondered, as an unhelpful memory fragment popped in his head. "Why does the teacher remind me of someone named Tora?"
"I'm sure that everyone already know's this fact." Shizuka continued. "But Yokai is an incredibly unique school, one that's exclusively for monsters."
Nauto's mental processes came to a sudden stop as decoded what his teacher just said. Quickly recovering the forgetful ninja started to see what was underneath the underneath.
"Yep." Naruto thought being careful to control his expression. "I knew there was a catch."
"Currently this planet is almost entirely controlled by humans, and in order for monsters to survive the only option is coexistence with them. So that brings up tor our first rule. "Miss Nekonome explained."Except in special circumstances you have to stay in your human form while on campus. Rule number two for a variety of obvious reasons never reveal your monster identity to another student."
"So I'm surrounded by monsters, that could explain that scent." Naruto thought as the militaristic part of his mind ran through threat assessment and escape options. "What about Tsukune?"
Naruto glanced over his shoulder and saw a look of shock on his friends face as well as a particular scent coming from him.
"Is that fear?" Naruto though passively, until his brain caught up with his nose. "Wait, I can smell fear?! How the hell do I know what fear smells like?"
"So many boring rules." Said a punk-ish looking guy who Miss Nekonome identified as Saizou Komiya. "If we do come across a human why not just eat em. That's what I would do anyway."
The sent of fear racketed up quite a bit as soon as Saizou said that.
"Okay then if I have to make a break for it that guy is getting punched right in the face." Naruto thought to himself.
"Well now. There's no chance of that happening because this school is protected by a giant secret barrier, which ensures that everyone here from the staff and all the students are monsters. If a human somehow found a way to get inside they would be killed on sight." Shizuka chirped, sounding way too cheerful speaking about killing any human unlucky enough to wander into a place they shouldn't be.
"Well that can't be good, after all I'm human." Naruto thought, but then paused for a bit. "I mean I'm pretty sure I'm human. I would think I would remember that sorta detail even if my memory is crap. But then again it might explain some of the cool things I can do. It just really feels weird not thinking of myself as human, I'll just stick with that for now."
Naruto's train of thought was sent off track when Tsukune dropped a book and quickly picked it up with a whimper.
"If you say so." Saizou growled. "But I swear I've been smelling a human this whole time."
"I think I have too." Naruto thought sifting through Tsukune's scent again. "I'm not sure what I should do Tsukune seems like he's about to freak out, or wet himself, or both."
Luckily a distraction occurred as the bubbly pink haired girl from earlier opened the door.
"Sorry I'm late." She said. "I got lost after the entrance ceremony."
"Don't worry." The teacher said. "Why don't you introduce yourself."
Tsukune seemed to calm down slightly as Moka introduced herself. The rest of the class, mostly the boys started muttering about Moka's beauty.
Moka finished her introductions and looking over at the windows rushed over to them her eyes alight. "Tsukune, Naruto, you're here I'm so glad we are in the same class."
As Moka pulled the two boys in for a hug Naruto looked over her shoulder and saw multiple looks of jealousy being sent their way.
"Well that can't be good." Naruto thought dejectedly.
Eventually class got released for lunch. The trio eventually found their way to the lunch room. The lunch room had some every odd smells coming from it. As soon as Tsukune saw the special of lasagna with bone bread-sticks he said that he wasn't very hungry and suggested they find a vending machine. Moka found a drink machine and they all got drinks and sat together in a nearby bench with Moka in the middle. Tsukune got an iced coffee while Moka seemed to be.
Naruto sipped on his orange flavored drink and looked over at Tsukune could tell that from his posture the he was still on edge.
"Oh man." Tsukune thought, as he looked over at Moka who seemed to be on cloud nine with her tomato juice. "How can a girl this cute be a real life vampire? And what about Naruto he's some type of monster too right?"
"Hey there Sexy." A voice called causing Tsukune to spit out some of his iced coffee. "You said you're name was Moka Akashiya right?
Saizou Komiya came around a corner in a way that screamed that he was looking for trouble. Tsukune lept to his feet which caused his friends to join him as the brute got closer.
"So tell me what's a smoking hot chick like you doing with numb-nuts like these?" Saizou said as he raised his arms, pushing Tsukune a good fifteen feet into the vending machine and grabbing Naruto by the collar.
"Tsukune!" Moka yelled as he eyes shifted to her other friend. "Let Naruto go!"
The brute pulled at Naruto's shirt trying to lift him off his feet but the forgetful ninja instinctively sent chakra to his feet gluing himself to the floor.
"Huh?" Saizou said intelligently as he was unable to move the blond.
Naruto's eyes narrowed as anger slowly bubbled up in the pit of his stomach. He did not like bullies and he really did not like someone messing with his friends. "Hey buddy. Do you like that hand?" He asked before the bully had a chance to put more strength into his hold.
"Cheshh." Saizou scoffed trying to cover up his unease as Naruto stared him down.
"Because if you would like to keep it I would suggest you let go." Naruto threatened.
"Whatever." Saizou said letting go and brushing his hair back. "Why don't you forget about these dweebs and hang out with me babe?"
It was Moka's turn to glare at Saizou. "No thank you. I prefer to be around nice people." She said turning away and flicking her hand dismissively as she headed to the downed Tsukune.
Saizou simply scoffed again and walked way ignoring the angry glare he was receiving from Naruto.
After a bit the three friends eventually wandered up to the school's roof, it was empty which for Naruto and Tsukune translated to relaxing.
"Wow that was pretty scary." Moka sighed leaning against the railing."Are you sure your okay?"
"Yeah I'm fine." Tsukune answered. "He was so strong, and Naruto he didn't even flinch, is that monster power?"
"Naruto you were really cool back there." Moka gushed. "Oh so what kind of monsters are you?"
Tsukune looked really nervous as he was unable to answer but luckily she spoke again.
"That's right we aren't suppose to tell." The pinkette pouted.
"Yeah, but we already know what you are." Tsukune sighed.
"Oh well you see I didn't know that was a rule before I told you."
"You know you don't look like a vampire." Tsukune mumbled.
"I don't even know what vampires are supposed to look like." Naruto replied honestly.
"You're both so silly." Moka laughed.
"The reason I don't look like a vampire right now is because of this." She said spreading her shirt relieving lots of cleavage and causing both males to blush brightly. "This rosary seals my powers, if this were removed I would transform into my true a power and terrifying vampire."
"Seal?" Naruto thought as a blast of memories shot through his mind. He could see it, a giant room that wes dominated by giant barred doors held shut by what seemed to be a large piece of paper with the kanji for 'Seal'. His mind kept showing him the memory as the paper fell away uncovering some sort of complex lock, and then with a series of clanking sound The lock turned with each section moving into place. The lock finished its intricate movement and the giant doors violently swung open.
A fierce wind blasted from the open doors and deafening roar sounded from the darkness beyond. He couldn't see anything in the shadows, but it was the smell that caught his attention. It was the same smell he had recently come to associate with monsters. However, there was something more, this scent carried a sort of forbidding strength with it, as well as the promise of death. Whatever was in there was a creature of great and terrible power.
Sadly Naruto's vision was interrupted as Tsukune suddenly pushed past him.
"Sorry, I have to go." Tsukune said his voice shaking. "See you later."
"Why did he leave?" Moka wondered aloud. "Naruto are you alright does your head hurt."
"Yeah, but I'll be fine I get these every so often." Naruto said in a groan while holding his head, trying to clear it after his vision. "What is up with Tsukune."
"I don't know I was just telling him that he was the first person that I had sucked blood from and he seemed to get nervous and run off." She answered.
"Hmm." Naruto mused. "Tell you what I will go find him and see if he's alright maybe it's guy stuff. Don't you worry about it."
Moka still seemed to be concerned but she still gave him a bright smile and said. "Oh thanks Naruto you're a good friend."
"Why is this happening? I meet a super cute girl that wants to be my friend and she turns out to be a vampire." Tsukune thought as he gathered up his things. "And then there's Naruto, who seems like a really cool guy but I saw how he acted with that freak Saizou. He didn't even flinch, he has to be some sort of terrifying monster in order to face that head on."
Tsukune nearly jumped out of his skin when Naruto's voice came from directly behind him.
"Hey Tsukune what'cha up to?" Naruto inquired. "And what are you doing with that backpack?"
"O-oh hey Naruto I'm-uh just going for a walk." Tsukune stammered.
"If you are only going for a walk then why are you taking all of your stuff?" Naruto asked, despite having a very good idea what was going on. "You're not leaving are you?"
"N-no I'm not leaving why would you think that?" Tsukune lied.
"Simple you're afraid you will be killed when someone finds out that you are a human." Naruto deadpanned.
All the color drained from Tsukune's face and his knees grew weak, his secret was out he was a goner for sure
"Hehe." Naruto chuckled. "You should really see your face Tsukune. Don't worry I'm not going to report you, and I'm not about to let anyone eat a friend of mine."
"Why not?" Tsukune asked as his legs finally gave out and he sat on the floor. "I mean you're a monster aren't you? Don't you want to kill me or something?"
"No I'm human too." Naruto answered. "Or at least I'm pretty sure that I am human."
Naruto said feeling confident that Tsukune wouldn't betray him because after all he had just as much dirt on him. Even if he did betray him he was pretty sure he could fake being a monster much better than Tsukune could.
"Well lets just put it this way I'm ninety percent sure that I am a human." Naruto said, with a look of intense thought on his face.
"W-wait how can you only be ninety percent sure that you are a human? Shouldn't that be something you should know?" Tsukune questioned incredulously.
"I know right?" Said the blond unhelpfully.
"WHAT, wait... What?" Tsukune gasped. "Okay, I'm lost."
"Umm, well that's a bit complicated." Naruto admitted rubbing the back of his head. "I really can't remember much of my past. Something happened to me about a month ago. I woke up in Tokyo and had no clue where I was."
"What are you serious?" Tsukune inquired.
Naruto nodded. "I don't know where my home is, or where my friends and family are. I can't remember a lot of things, and that's why I'm only ninety percent sure that I am human."
"Oh man Naruto, I'm- I'm Sorry." Tsukune whispered as he thought that he had it bad. "Wait if you're human than how could you stand up to Saizou."
"Well that's because I'm a certified Bad Ass." Naruto smiled. "Just don't ask to see certification, I can't remember where I put it."
"Well since you're a human too we need to get out of this school." Tsukune said quickly putting the rest of his things in his bag. "Bad ass or not we don't belong with these monsters."
"I don't know buddy, if you feel you need to go I'm not going to stop you, I'll even cover for you. Naruto said hesitantly." For some reason I think I need to stay here, something about this place tells me that I will find answers here."
"No way Naruto, don't think you get it this place is filled with monsters that would not hesitate to kill us" Tsukune muttered trying to persuade his friend. "We can't stay."
"Sorry man but I'm staying here till I find out what is going on." Naruto said
"Really?"
"Yeah."
"Fine." Tsukune spat, taking a few quick steps away before pausing and looking back. "Be careful alright, and tell Moka I'm sorry."
As soon as Tsukune left Naruto went to look for Moka, trying to figure out the best way of explaining why Tsukune was leaving. However finding her was seemingly harder than he first suspected.
"Man how hard is it to find one cute pink haired girl?" Naruto thought. He had been following Moka's scent all around the school. "Seriously where is she heading?"
Naruto followed Moka's scent and from what he could tell she and Tsukune had met in front of the school.
"Well." Naruto pondered. "Thats probably not be good."
Following the smell of his friends he suddenly came across another smell. "Yuck, smells like that jerk Saizou. Oh that almost certainly isn't good." Naruto said aloud, piecing together what might be going on.
The blond quickening his pace when his sensitive hearing picked up what sounded like Moka screaming quickly followed by Tsukune yelling about something.
"Yep, definitely not good." He said rushing to help his friends.
Naruto arrived on the scene right as a saw a head of pink hair jump down a steep incline with a cry of "Tsukune!"
Seeing an opportunity Naruto literally jumped into action.
"Hey you get back-" Saizou started but was interrupted by a sudden weight on his shoulders.
"Wow Saizou is that you?" Naruto said as the brute looked up.
Naruto was defiantly standing with one foot on each of Saizou's large shoulders. "What happened to you? It looks like your face got smashed in by the ugly stick."
"You-"Saizou started, but was again interrupted as Naruto did a back flip that pushed the beast forward and off the drop causing him to tumble down head over heels.
Naruto smiled as a pained yell of "Bastard!" was sent back up to him, before carefully making his way down himself.
At the bottom of the slope Moka was holding Tsukune's head as he lay on the ground.
"I'm sorry." Moka said with tears in her eyes. "I didn't mean, I didn't want to drive you away. At my old school all the others made fun of me because I said I was a vampire. It hurt but I didn't hate them, I just wanted a friend, but no one wanted to be my friend."
"I think it shouldn't matter what you are." Tsukune muttered, as he slowly sat up. "Who you are is much more important, I might be human, but I still-"
Tsukune was interrupted as Saizou's true form came tumbling down the hill and landed in a pile.
"Grr." The beast growled, shaking his head to clear it as he pick himself of the ground. "What's with all this lovey dovey shit?"
"Moka get out of here." Tsukune yelled." I don't want you to get hurt just leave."
"No I think you should both stay right were you are." Saizou laughed, bearing his teeth.
"I agree." Naruto said as he landed from a high jump. "But I think you should leave before I get angry. Nobody messes with my friends and gets away with it."
"Naruto!" Both Moka and Tsukune cried.
"No! Naruto get out of here you can't fight him." Tsukune yelled. "This is bad, what is Naruto doing here? Even if he is a bad ass he's just a human."
Naruto readied himself, he was confident that he could take Saizou in his true form. All he need to do was use chakra to enhance his speed and strength and he would beat the brute down.
Sadly Naruto did not prepare himself for Saizou's tongue that zipped out as he spun around and wrapped around Naruto's leg.
Naruto paused for a split second as something about situation seemed familiar. That small pause was all that was needed for Saizou to pick the blond up and start spinning him.
"What the devil?!" Was all Naruto was able to say right before he was smashed head first into the rock wall.
"HAHAHAHA." Saizou laughed as chunks of rock covered Naruto's downed body. "I knew it! He was just some punk that couldn't handle me. Now where was I?"
"Moka run!" Tsukune said pushing the pinkette away.
"What is this?" Naruto thought as he looked around, his vision all blurred. "Why is my body so heavy?"
Naruto could barely see Tsukune he was so blurry, he pushed the pink blur away who he guessed was Moka. Tsukune was saying something as he backed into that weird scarecrow sign, but he couldn't understand it.
His vision changed. Superimposed over the image of Tsukune was some else. It was a girl with long dark-bluish hair and she wore a light purple hoodie, but he couldn't make out her face. However, he could see her eyes, they were white, pale, almost like moonlight.
"Ill never go back on my word." A sweet voice rang in his head. "Because that is my ninja way."
Then in stereo as Saizou smashed Tsukune, and Naruto saw an unknown force blast the girl into the ground.
His vision grew dark, then suddenly a new image filled his mind purple eyes with concentric rings radiating outward.
"Tell me." A new voice filled his head. This voice was cold and caused white hot anger to bubble up within Naruto. "Do you hate me now?"
"The rosary." Moka gasped as Tsukune's hand fell and pulled her seal off. "It came off."
A blast of pink Yoki came from Moka causing the sky to turned red and a swarm of bats surrounded her as her body began to transform.
"What the hell?" Saizou said in wonder as the bats flew away from her. "She's different and scary. The tales they're true? The red eyes, and the overwhelming energy. She's an S Class super monster, a vampire."
"When the rosary is removed." Began a deep disembodied voice. "Moka's innocent self vanishes, and her sealed inner vampire awak- well that is unexpected."
The strange disembodied void was interrupted by another powerful burst of energy. The pile of rubble shot away from Naruto's body as if the stones themselves were afraid to touch him. Naruto slowly got up from the ground, looking up Naruto smiled hungrily at Saizou showing fangs and red slitted eyes; just like Moka's.
"N-no way." Saizou stuttered. "Two vampires? I-it can't be."
"Oh my." The new silver haired Moka said. Gone was the chipper bright voice from before, it was replaced by a much huskier alluring tone. "What an interesting situation for my first time awake in such a long time."
"W-what about you?" Turning to the blond Saizou spoke, his voice shaking as if he were having trouble breathing between the two powerful entities. "I thought you were down. I got you, right?"
"Sure doesn't look that way." Naruto answered, partially to answer as well to reassure himself.
Naruto did not know what was going on but he felt great. Brushing the rubble from himself he inadvertently cracked his neck with multiple loud pops. Flexing his clawed fingers Naruto remembered just why he was here.
"Guess it just took me a bit to warm up." Naruto said his voice seemed to growl as he sent a dangerous glare at Saizou.
"Come on man pull it together." Saizou tried to hype himself, despite the incredible power he felt coming from Naruto and Moka. "Stop shaking, you can take on a vampire, hell even two vampires."
Moka yawned and with one final stretch seemed to be ready.
"I'm tired of looking at you." She said. "It's time for you to know your place."
In the blink of an eye Moka moved forward and high kicked Saizou right in the face, sending him directly at Naruto.
Naruto was admittedly surprised as the bully came flying at him, but with equal speed he readied himeself.
"Agreed!" Naruto yelled leaning in and slamming both of his fists into Saizou back, stopping his momentum.
Still hanging in air and gasping in pain Naruto round house kicked the bruised bully right back with a command of. "Know your place!"
An injured Saizou was making a return trip right back at Moka who still had her leg extended from the first kick. Unluckily for the bully she was not caught off guard and brought her leg down in a painful ax kick that cratered him into the ground.
"Understood?" Moka finished, looking down at brute curled up in the hole before her.
"Yes..." Saizou wheezed. "Yes, I understand."
Battle over Naruto slowly walked towards Moka when a round bat flew down between them.
"Wow! A mega-combo! Wheee." The strange talking bat cheered as it flew away.
"Tsk." The stately Moka scoffed. "Why did you kick it back at me?"
"Well you see you leg was extended up there with nothing to do so I decided it might want to kick the brute again." Naruto joked his mind strangely clear even as his anger still burned inside him.
"Do not presume and decide what I or my legs might want." Moka scoffed again with a ghost of a smile on her face.
"Naruto? Moka?" Tsukune whispered as he fell to his knees. However all his strength left him and he fell to the ground as two pairs of red eyes looked down on him.
"Hmm." Mused the silver haired girl as she bent down to retrieve her rosary from Tsukune's hand.
"You certainly look like a vampire." Moka said, turning her head to the side. "But you don't really smell like one. What type of monster are you."
"Heh, I will be sure to tell you once I have figured that out myself." Naruto smiled his features slowly returning to normal.
"Very well." Moka sighed. "I suppose I will be seeing you again."
Naruto nodded as Moka reattached her rosary and the slumped into his arms as her hair turned back to pink.
"Well that happened." Naruto muttered setting Moka gently on the ground.
"Oh good you're awake." Naruto said as Moka sat up. "And it looks like Tsukune is waking up soon to."
"Hey Tsukune." Naruto said helping the boy sit up. "I've got some good news and some bad news."
"The good news is that everyone is alive, well mostly." Naruto quirked, looking over at the crater Saizou still resided in. "The bad news is that the bus only comes once a month."
"What! Are you serious?" Tsukune demanded as tears came to the corners of his eyes." I can't believe this is happening to me- wait. Naruto, what you did earlier, I thought you said you were human?"
"Well I still think I am." The blond answered. "But you know how I said I was ninety percent sure I was a human. Well that number has dropped to like seventy percent or so, but until I know for sure I'm just going to chalk that down as me being downright awesome."
Moka simply chuckled lightly to herself. She was just glad that everything had worked out and that she could stay with her two friends. Even if one of those friends was a human and the other was a bit confused.

(Author Notes) That chapter was much longer than I expected it to be, but I wanted to get them to school and the first conflict over. I tried my best to not unnecessarily repeat scenes directly from the anime. The parts I do cut out should be able to either be guessed at or already be known by the majority of readers. This did present the problem of making my first writing a bit choppy. After my beta reader told me that it felt rushed I went through and added things and mixed stuff around to hopefully make things flow better. Please send me a review and tell me if I did a decent job.
