AN: Well, got a few interesting ideas from a few people, a couple reviewers, and a few people in my area. I originally planned to only introduce elements of the Bleach Universe, but character here and there might come along, they won't be involved in the bleach universe, but it will be for my own purposes. Some a number four might come up, a few interesting battles might happen, and so on.

Well before I ruin anything, let's get onto the story… I want to get more feedback, so spread the word also review please, it would be great!

Tsukune woke up pretty early, he was nervous about his first day at school. They had the opening ceremony, then they'd stop by the homeroom classes, and get their schedules. Another thing, was it just him or was everyone… dressed funny? He shrugged, brushed his teeth, and got out quickly. He finished the rest of his daily routine in his room on his own. He pulled on his uniform, finishing by pulling on his bright green blazer.

"Whaa, I'm so nervous…" He said out loud, flinging his bag over his shoulder, walking out from the dorms, only to be greeted by a high pitched squeal of, "OHAYOOOO TSUKUNE-KUN!" Nearly giving the poor kid a heart attack. "O-ohayo Moka-san…" He said somewhat shaken. "Come on! We got to get to the ceremony!" She chanted, hugging his arm and pulling him along.

Tsukune and Moka had gotten separated during the ceremony, so Tsukune was forced to sit next to a raven haired, green eyed individual who seemed to glance at him every once in a while. Some sort of expression plastered on his face, it was hard to read, especially by an 'average individual' such as himself. He simply brushed it off, sitting through the rest of the speech. The odd looks coupled with the ocean of green blazers around him, well let's say it was a long morning.

Currently, Tsukune had found his way to his home room, an interesting bunch of people had been in his class. Some seats were empty, so he assumed that a few people hadn't found their way to class. A girl with bright blue hair sat behind him, she wore a yellow sweater in place of the normal green blazer. To his right, there was a boy with long brown hair and a lip ring, his tongue was flicking and rolling just outside his mouth, licking his ring, his nose and such. It was pretty odd.

In the seat to his left, a dark blue haired beauty with a sucker in her mouth and a regular sweatshirt in place of the blazer sat, hand resting on her palm. She looked pretty… bored. He laughed on the inside at the stupid thought. He glanced forward, only to realize that the seat was empty. He wondered who would be taking that seat, if they were even coming today.

"Hello class, I am your homeroom teacher, Nekonome-sensei, and welcome to Youkai Academy. I think you all know this, but this is… A school built for the sake of Monsters to attend." This made Tsukune's mouth drop, 'W-wha…?' He thought on the inside, "As you know, the world is mostly dominated by humans now, and if we are to survive, we need to learn to coexist." She added smiling widely. 'Monsters? Everyone here is a monster?' Tsukune thought to himself, his gaze dancing around the room, falling on each student, "She's a monster? He's a monster?' He thought to himself in disbelief, then when his mind came to Moka's confession earlier, 'I guess… I should believe what she said then...' He frowned slightly.

"Now class, remember, as for practice, it's a school rule to remain in your human forms!" She said, smiling widely making Tsukune sigh in relief, he may not be human, but he wasn't sure what he was, or what he would change into.

"Hey teacher, would it not be better for us to eat up those puny humans and in the case of beautiful girls, better to molest them?" Asked the boy off to the side of Tsukune, which made the boy cringe. Nekonome shook her head, "Oh! Incidentally, here at Youkai academy, the teachers and students are alllll monsters; there are no genuine humans here, so no killing." She insisted, her tail and ears popping out, and she meowed like any cat would.

The door opened to the class, and a pink haired girl rushed in, "I'm so sorry, I got lost after the ceremony…" She started, before she noticed Tsukune, and a smile made it's way across her face, "Tsukune-kun! We're in the same class, yay!" She chanted, rushing across the class, glomping the poor kid. This earned the brunette a few glares and curses from the surrounding male populace. One especially from the boy that insisted on killing humans. Another teenager though, the one that had been with Tsukune earlier watched the boy acting strangely as the girl came along. The green eyed youth rested his head on his palm, thinking of something, an unreadable expression on his face.

"Very well, take a seat…" This got a nod form Moka, and she took the empty seat in front of Tsukune, turning back and smiling at him before paying attention to their teacher. Though with the announcements over, the bell rang, "Alright class, you can go about getting yourselves settled in. Remember classes officially start tomorrow, so be here on time, eat well, and sleep well!" The neko insisted, shooing the class.

And now, Tsukune had been lead out of class by his pink haired companion, and the pair could be found beside a vending machine in the courtyard, getting a few drinks, Moka a tomato juice, and Tsukune an iced can of coffee. They went to reach for it, touching their hands, "G-Gomen!" Tsukune said nervously. Moka was still leaning over, a blush across her cheeks. 'H-Huh?' He thought, as she stood straight, "Ne, don't be like that Tsukune-kun!" She said playfully, hitting him playfully, slamming him into the wall, 'Such strength…' He thought, though when he pealed himself from thewall, he realized, he wasn't hurt and shrugged. They took a seat at at the bench just a little ways down.

Tsukune was left to his thoughts, 'Man… I still can't believe she's a monster…' He glanced at his right arm, specifically the golden bracelet that dangled from it. 'Hell, I can hardly I'm a monster…' "Tsukune-kun?" Moka asked, tilting her head at him. "Ah, everything's alright… Just thinking…" She was about to ask what about, but they were interrupted…

"Akashiya, Moka-san… Right? Why would you be hanging with such an average and weak guy?" He asked, picking up Tsukune. Said brunette groaned, grasping the arm Saizo was holding him up with. A lock on the bracelet cracked, and Tsukune's eyes flashed yellow, and Saizo threw him, smashing him into the vending machine. "Tsukune!" Moka shouted in alarm, "You should leave that guy, and come with me…" He insisted, grasping her shoulder, "Leave me alone!" She shouted, rolling his hand off her shoulder, rushing to his side. Drinks were rolling out of the machine, and a can of tomato juice made its way to Saizo, and he picked it up with his tongue, crushing it.

Moka and Tsukune had gone to the roof, "Ahh, that was scary… Are you really okay, Tsukune?" She asked, leaning over the railing and glancing at her companion. This got a nod from Tsukune while he glanced at his bracelet. "Yeah, I'm fine, but that was quite a throw, he got me about fifteen feet away, dead center into the vending machine…" He shrugged, again not hurt from such a great impact. "You act like you haven't seen a demon before! You'll be alright, you're standing now, so we can only hope!" She said, exuberantly, smiling.

"That's right! What kind of demon are you, Tsukune-kun?" She asked before remembering the rule. "Oh yeah, that's breaking the school rules to reveal your own identity, sorry about that…" Tsukune looked at her, before looking down, "But Moka-san, you have told me that you're a vampire…"

"But back then, I wasn't aware of the rule…" She said holding her warming cheeks.

"But you don't seem like one…" He said, still not meeting her gaze.

"Maybe for now… But this cross on my chest, this rosary, once it is removed, I become a really terrifying real vampire… That's why it's a protective seal, I can't even take it off myself…" She explained, looking at the Rosario in silence.

"It's okay, even if you're a little scary, Moka-san is still Moka-san…" He said, again looking away, this time scratching his face, as to hide the hint of a blush that had made its way across his cheeks.

"As I thought! You are my first real friend, Tsukune-kun!" She exclaimed, pulling him into a hug, catching the youth off guard. "Another thing… You are the first person… That I've taken blood from…" This earned a confused look. She explained further, "Up until yesterday… I had only been drinking tomato juice and blood from Transfusion packs… But sucking real blood like that… Tsukune… The sweetness, the scent… That feeling…" She pulled her face closer to his neck… She opened her mouth closing in on his neck before Tsukune saw a flash of the vampire that ended his life. He pushed her away, "Go-gomen, I've got something to do!" He said in a rushed manner and practically ran away. Moka stared on as he ran away.

A raven haired youth watched as Tsukune ran through the halls, something was bothering him. His green eyes reflected the boy turning the corner, and he 'hmmed' as he disappeared in a blur, a cracking sound in his wake. Tsukune on the other hand made it to the woods, somewhere near the tombstones. He panted, supporting his weight on a tree. "Oh look who it is…" Said a familiar voice form behind the brunette, and he suddenly blacked out when a large fist impacted the back of his head.

Moka was starting to worry, the few times she'd taken blood from Tsukune, or when she attempted like on the roof, something was bothering him, she could have sworn that he was shaking when she was hugging him. She had to find out what it was, she felt their brief friendship was at risk.

She had followed after him, following the smell of his blood that is. She had lost sight of him a good distance earlier, but it didn't take long for her to get to the forest. "Tsukune?" She shouted, trying to get the boy to answer. His smell was all around the area. "Ohhh, Akashiya-san, you came… Good." Moka froze, and turned, spotting the tall, intimidating boy from earlier, "Saizo… Right?" She asked, shaking a bit, and the thuggish boy nodded, "Good, you remember me… Seems my reputation proceeds me…"

"Where is Tsukune!" She yelled angrily, pushing Saizo, but he could hold his ground. "I can't take it anymore!" He yelled, hunching over, his shirt and blazer started to rip, and he rapidly started to grow. "This is my real form! An Ogre!" He shouted, his tongue snaking its way towards her and she screamed.

Tsukune started to stir until he was shocked awake by a loud scream. "M-Moka-san!" He said rushing towards the noise, unaware of the shadow that was following him from above, through the trees. He ran as fast as he could, and turned to go down the path, and when he came close enough to see what was going on, he saw a great big beast, throwing Moka around… By it's tongue? That was… Odd. "What's wrong Moka-san, why won't you transform?" She looked at him bitterly, "Because it's against school rules!" Which only made the Ogre laugh.

"We are out of the school grounds so the rule doesn't matter!" He shouted, wrapping his tongue around her leg, tossing her into a tree. "Stop it!" Shouted Tsukune, pushing Saizo which got the giant to backhand him down a hill. "Tsukune!" Moka shouted, following close behind, sliding down the hill on her rear.

Tsukune looked up as he stopped rolling. That odd scare-crow that he'd been stopped at when they had gotten off the bus was staked into the ground right in front of him. 'Now that's nostalgic… If I wanted to go home…' He thought, only to shake his head, looking at the bracelet again. Tsukune stood, just as Moka followed behind him, "Tsukune are you alright?" She asked very worried about her companion. He nodded, "Yeah, I'm alright… Look, before anything happens I have something I need to tell you…" He started, earning a worried and curious look from Moka.

"The reason I'm weak… Least the reason I think I'm weak… Up until just two nights ago… I was human…" He said, shocking the pink headed vampire, "But! That changed… I died…" Which had shocked Moka even further. But before he could finish they were interrupted yet again by the big buffoon known as Saizo. "What the hell are you doing!" He yelled from the top of the hill. "Stand aside, Moka-san…" He said, standing up, and raising his hand. "I might be weak, worthless even, but I still want to be your friend Moka-san. Monster, human, or whatever I am, I still want to be your friend!" He shouted, for the third time, shocking the pinkette that day.

"Shut up idiot!" Yelled Saizo, knocking Tsukune down, "If you don't shut up… I'll do it for you!" He said, hefting the scare-crow from the ground and impaling the brunette right through the sternum… Silencing the brunette, and turned to Moka, "Now where were we?" He asked, roughly handling the smaller girl and pulling her close, sloppily licking her face, while his large hands started to squeeze her. She could only cry out Tsukune's name.

Everything was dark and he felt so weightless. He should be used to this by now… He could only think, 'I'm dead again… What will happen now? I doubt one gets a third chance and it hadn't even been two days… Maybe I was meant to die…' He was about to brood further, when he heard that voice. "Now that's no way to think, that girl needs you… King!" Came a raged voice, Tsukune turned around, spotting a bleached white figure, yellow eyes, and black sclera, caught his eye. This thing couldn't be human… But it looked so much like him! "Who are you!" He demanded, only to make the being chuckle.

"Why I'm you Tsukune… Well the you that was born when you DIED!" He began to laugh, appearing right in front of Tsukune. "Now are you gonna sulk about getting this SCRATCH? Or are you gonna ask for my help… And destroy that bastard!" The creature grabbed onto Tsukune's blazer, hefting him above his head. "Which is it!" Tsukune pulled on the creature's white blazer, "Lend me your power…" He said blankly. Making the creature smile oh so widely. "Very well king… But my power is very hard to control… So a few things might happen…" But before Tsukune could ask what that meant, he was thrust fourth.

Saizo was laughing manically, while Moka could do nothing but wheeze in pain. He was crushing her and she could do nothing about it. And that's when Saizo felt an overwhelming pressure, so strong that he had to drop Moka before he himself could drop to his knees.

He slowly turned his head, shaking, afraid of an unknown force, as if through instinct. His eyes fell upon the supposed-to-be corpse of Aono Tsukune. But said body had been standing, enveloped in red energy. The scare-crow had forcefully been removed by this boy's right hand, and the bracelet wrapped around it let off a few pops, seems a couple more links had cracked.

A white substance started to form over the left side of his face, while his hair was dyed a blazing orange that seemed to glow, and even grew in length. Now just passed his shoulders, but that wasn't the most noticeable. His eyes had been died yellow and black, the iris a sickening yellow, while the sclera was black as night.

Saizo brushed it off, "Is that your monster form? That's pathetic!" He roared, rushing to Tsukune and delivering a punch. Though, it never made it because Tsukune's hand shot up, catching his fist, even if his hand was vastly smaller than Saizo's, it didn't matter. What seemed to be a mask covered half of Tsukune's face, red lines, much like tribal markings covered a portion of the forehead, the cheekbone, and the chin. The hole in his chest about the size of a baby's fist had grown to about the size of a basketball.

Moka started to get up, feeling the pressure, but had been busy trying to get up through the pain. Another blistering pain shot through her, and her vision was filled with a red/pink glow. 'Not again!' She thought, looking to the Rosary and realizing that she was going to lose consciousness. Her aura exploded, and she started to change. Pink hair slowly losing color until it was all silver, green eyes contaminated with a red color bleeding into them until it reached the pupil, slitting it.

The real Moka stood, awake again so soon. The first thing she ended up seeing was what seemed like a fight between two beings, her vision adjusting through the thick air. She made out their shapes, and started to wonder. "Who was it that woke me up?" She demanded, grasping at her choker, only to realize that her seal was still there. "This can't be…" She said to herself. "It's still there?" She asked herself before noticing the shape Tsukune was in. 'Could it be him?' She asked herself when she noticed the aura rolling off the injured boy in waves.

Memories came to mind from her outer self's consciousness. It was Tsukune and Saizo… But from that last conversation, she thought the boy was human. Then she remembered the 'was' part of it. Either way, "Know your place!" She shouted, charging forward, catching the already stunned Saizo off guard, blowing him into the hills just behind him.

She strode up to the still transforming Tsukune, holding his masked cheek and staring into his differently colored eyes, "You stood up for outer… So I'll spare you… For now." She said, firmly planting her hand into the mask, shattering it. The shards flew up into the air as he fell to the ground, only for them to change into bulbs of energy, sealing up the hole in the boy's chest.

She sat down on her legs, waiting for the boy to become conscious again. She needed to have a word.

It didn't take long for Tsukune to flutter his eyes open, and he was hit with some sort of headache, "Gah, my head… What happened…" Only for a question to follow his own. "That… Aono, is something I'd like to know as well…" But before either of them could talk, the still glowing Rosary ceased glowing, and she was forced to revert to her outer self. Falling upon the downed ex-red head. Seems the boy had returned to normally fully, well aside from the hole in his uniform's chest and back.

This time it was Moka's turn to come to, only she was on Tsukune's back, being carried back to campus, "Ano… Tsukune… Are you alright?" She asked lowly, only to get a laugh from the boy, "I should be asking you that! I don't have a scratch on me, and neither do you, I woke up and you had silver hair, and all the sudden you passed out…" He said, but began to think. If she didn't remember what happened, then he didn't need to tell her, even if he was a bit hazy on the details as well.

"Ano… What you said back there… About you being human…?" She asked, letting the question hang in the air, nuzzling her face into his shoulder, "It's true… I was human…"

There was an awkward silence whilst they trudged through the woods, on the way back. But before either of them could say a word, two individuals appeared in their path…

"Aono Tsukune…" Said the blue haired boy with matching blue eyes. "Akashiya Moka…" Said the raven haired boy with green eyes and what looked like black lines down his eyes added. "We are here to talk you to the head master…"

AN: And that's the chapter… A bit more to do on this story… Had this idea for longer, so I've had more to put into it… So I'm going to try to update them both equally. But more than likely I'll update 'He Wasn't Alone' weekly with the manga, and Hollowed Within as much as I can while I still have the juices flowing. I didn't start off as early as I had with the first story, so there isn't as much to think about character behavior wise as there is for 'He Wasn't Alone.'

Anyways, more vote before I can actually get into the next chapter… Something might happen depending on the vote…

Anyways, as always, READ AND REVIEW! SageKyuubi OUT Ja Ne!
