Well I hope a few people at least enjoyed that first chapter. I know I just kinda threw everyone into the story but I'm guessing everyone has an idea of where I am in the story. Now please stay with me everyone as I promise it will get better. It has been a long time since I have written anything.

Also Im just asking for a few reviews, if for no other reason than to give me an idea of what you think of how things are going or if you have a suggestion. I am open just let me know. Vote for who you want my original character to end up with, or if you want I'll try a harem. Never done it before though.

Well enough of this on with the story!

I don't own Rosario Vampire.

An Ending, A Beginning

Moka stood with the others looking at Tsukune and what he had done. He was kneeling there in front of Ruby who was beaten badly. She had blood trailing down her face and seemed as if she was having a hard time breathing. Tsukune had been leaning forward his tongue sticking out ready to lick the blood from her face.

His head slowly turned and he glared hatred at Moka. His eyes narrowed and in his gaze Moka shivered, at the coldness, the hatred she found within those depths. His eyes were no longer the soft brown color but the red much like her own when she changed into her inner self.

"Tsukune! How . . .How could you hurt Ruby like that!" Moka turned her head to see Yukari standing just ahead of them her little body shaking. "She is our friend!" Yukari yelled at him in anger, and fright. She had to admit she didn't know what to think standing there looking at Tsukune the way that he was right then.

They saw that the rosary that he had on his wrist was looking old and cracked as it hung, dangling like a broken branch from a tree. "She is pleasure given flesh," he purred out as he stood up and turned to fully face the four girls. "Hmmm . . . which one shall I play with next," he asked no one as his gaze fell on Moka and his eyes almost seemed to glow.

"You," Tsukune's voice purred as he turned fully to look at the girls in his life. "Moka, the vampire. The creator of ghouls, but I'm not really a ghoul am I. I am more powerful than one. I am more!" As he finished his voice rose in volume and he stepped towards them.

"Tsukune what's wrong with you?" Kurumu cried out and started towards him tears appearing at the corner of her eyes as she took in the scene before her. A broken Ruby and a blood covered manical Tsukune staring them down. "Tsukune come back to us. Be . . . Be your old self!"

"My old self? My old self was weak and pathetic. I waited for everyone to save me. I cringed and cowered. I had horrible feelings about each of you before we became friends. I had to pull Moka's rosario off to save my own skin I can't even count how many times. Then she gave me her blood," here he paused for a second and looked at his hands. "Then I was more than just a human after that. I could feel power within me." He took a deep breath and continued on his story, " Then you all were afraid of me and had my powers sealed away like Moka's but at night I tried to access my power on my own so that I wouldn't have to be weak anymore. I was tired of it! I hated it! I hated being saved time and again! So I continued to work at it until I found a way to access that dark part of what Moka gave me. I let that power flush my being, fill me up! It was wondrous!"

"How is that possible, how could you circumvent the power of the Rosario?" A shaken Moka asked her hands held to her chest in fear, and worry. Her vision blurred with tears as she gazed at the man that she loved. The man she would have given anything for. The man though that she had never confessed to, and never had even went on a date with. How could she say she loved him when they had never even went out to truly know each other to learn secrets about each other? It was obvious that there were things about Tsukune she didn't know.

"With enough power you can do anything Moka. Now why don't you come over here so I can rip that damn Rosario off you and fight you. I can feel the other you wanting to get out, I can feel her restlessness. I can feel her anger," Tsukune spoke as he started to walk towards Moka. His gaze traveled from one girl to another looking at each of them. He remembered good times with each and how they had each helped him at some point but no more. He didn't need help from any of them anymore. He was strong now thanks to Moka's blood. He may hate that fact, the fact he was no longer human but another part of him reveled in the fact that he wasn't weak anymore. A part of him reveled in the darkness and in the thoughts that came with it. The thoughts of what he would love to do to these girls that dare stand in front of him.

"Tsu . . . Tsukune?" His gaze traveled to the originator of the voice, one Kurumu. Her gazed at her and for the first time since she had known him she saw a look from Tsukune that made her skin crawl. He leered at her with a lecherous grin. His eyes told her everything that he wanted to do to her, and she involuntarily shivered at the intensity of his gaze, and the hunger in his eyes. Hell his whole body reeked of want. "What is wrong with you Tsukune," she cried the tears falling from her beautiful eyes making trails down her cheeks and dripping from her chin to the ground to splatter almost in time to the fierce beating of her heart.

"What is wrong with me, nothing. Nothing at all. For the first time in a long time I am not scared of anything and I feel as though I can have anything including you my sex kitten," he leered at her which made her take a step back in if she had to admit it revulsion. The man standing across form them was not Tsukune he just couldn't be. Tsukune was kind and always cared about everyone. The monster across from them was not Tsukune she just couldn't believe it! Her tears continued to all faster and faster as her shoulders were wracked by sobs.

"Pathetic, what did I ever see in any of you."

"That is cold Tsukune and that means a lot coming form me," came Mizore's calm voice but Tsukune didn't even acknowledge the girl.

He growled a low growl deep in his throat and then charged forward as fast as he could appearing in front of a stunned Moka. "I want to fight the bitch that made me into this. I want to thank her and then I want to dominate her as it would be amazing to crush her and beat the pride right out of her." With those word he reached up and gripped the rosary and yanked.

SCENE

In a dead tree not too far away wedged between two large branches and lazing against them watching the proceedings was a man. A small man with a red robe on the hood pulled up to hide his face keeping it in shadow. He had a small grin on his face though no one could have seen it, and he was playing with a small glass vial. Within the small vial was a red liquid that appeared to be blood.

"Ah if only those foolish girls knew that it was I who unleashed his inner self," the man mused to himself. "Oh well a chance like this doesn't come along very often and I didn't want to miss it. I will have to thank that Kuyou for bringing me this," and he looked at the vial in his hand. "A human living among monsters, that is just disgusting. Though thanks to that Moka girl we may be able to use this Tsukune to do many wonderful things, perhaps even make a army to battle these incessent monsters."

The man felt his arm starting to go numb from being in one spot for so long, and so he readjusted his weight to put a bit more on his hip which was where the two branches her was leaning against came together. "I want to see how this little scuffle ends. Finally though I will be able to return home and I will have a prize with me, my little pet," the man laughed to himself as he swirled the red liquid around in the vial.

SCENE

"Ahhh!" Moka yelled as she was yanked forward the chain biting into the back of her neck. Tsukune frowned and yanked again harder and once again the chain didn't snap, but Moka yelled in pain as she fell to her knees from the force he used to yank the chain.

"Damnit, I guess I'll just have to take my anger out on you then Moka, instead of that silver haired bitch," Tsukune hissed as she started to crawl away.

"Back off Tsukune," came Mizore's soft voice, though this time it held a bit of the ice that she commanded. "Leave her alone."

He sighed as he turned to look at Mizore and decided at that moment that there had been enough talk. He ran towards her faster than she expected and his fist connected with her stomach. The air left her in a whoosh along with her lollipop, and she flew back a few yards landing on her back. "Tsk, Tsk," Tsukune shook his head as he started towards her her finger moving back and forth as though admonishing a child.

None of the girls could believe that the man standing amongst them was the same man that they had all fallen in love with. None of them wanted to believe it but after witnessing what he had done to Ruby, Moka, and Mizore well they knew that he was different that much was certain. Yukari could feel a darkness radiating off him. Not only that but she was sure she could feel a spell at work but it was very faint.

Tears continued to fall down Kurumu's face but after seeing him hit Mizore, her face grew stern and a last tear slid from the corner of her eye, to make its way slowly down her cheek. She felt it as it slid making it's trail, and feeling the tear growing smaller and smaller. It was in a way a bit like her heart. It seemed to grow smaller in her chest as she steeled herself to face the man that she loved. The tear stopped for a second clinging to her jaw as a lover would cling to her, refusing to let go. Then ever so slowly the tear fell it's weight to great for it's weak grip on her jawline.

As the tear fell to the ground her claws grew and her heart rate stilled. Her tail grew, and the back of her jacket and shirt tore as her wings unfurled as if from a great rest. She shot forward no yell, no crying, and slashed at Tsukune who had his back to her thinking that she would do nothing, nothing to the man she loved. He managed to judge her wrong just as he had at the start of his first year of school.

Her claws barely touched him as he spun to his left. She passed by him her arm outstretched where he should have been and he brought his elbow down on her back slamming her into the ground with enough force to crack her ribs. She cried out in pain as she lay there her body slightly embedded in the ground her head turned to the side to look at Tsukune. He grinned lifting his foot and he brought it down, but she rolled to the side. His foot slammed into the ground and buried in the earth up to his ankle bits of debris flying to the sides.

She hissed in pain as her ribs protested their use, .but she managed to avoid Tsukune's stomp. She rose on shaky feet holding her ribs with her right hand her left still had her claws extended. She stood still for a moment and took a breath and extended the claws on her right hand while she slowly removed that hand from their position of holding her ribs.

Yukari didn't know what to do. She had never thought that something like this would happen to her friends or the man that she loved. Oh she knew that the darkness in him was there, she knew that the blood Moka had injected into him had the possibility of changing him but the rosario should have sealed that darkness away. It was then that she felt it, just a little, a bit of magic. It was a tiny thread that connected to Tsukune but to find the source would take her a little bit of time. Maybe he wasn't doing this of his own volition. Maybe he was being forced to to do this! That was a comforting thought, but she was yanked back to the scene before her as Tsukune cried out in pain, blood spraying from a wound in his chest.

While he had been gloating over hurting Kurumu he hadn't noticed Mizore stand back up and move around behind him. She had made an ice clone and used it to take her place by the tree as she had grew her ice claws and moved completely around the battlefield to get to a position behind Tsukune. He hadn't even known that she was there thanks to her clone, which swiped him across the chest and he cried out in pain blood flowing. He turned back to the clone and punched it shattering the clone sending hunks of ice exploding in all directions.

From her hiding place Mizore sprung forward bringing her claws down across his back. "Rawrrr!," he yelled as he stumbled forward blood flowing from the wounds in his back. He turned to face Mizore his eyes finding hers. "I'll kill you ice bitch."

Mizore flinched back more from the tone of his voice than the words themselves. Words can be said to hurt, but words can not mean what was said. The tone of one's voice though is hard to mistake. His tone was as cold as the ice she commanded. She looked at her friends all of whom were hurt and knew though that she couldn't just stop fighting, if she did they might all die.

Tsukune took a slow step forward his foot landing on a piece of her ice clone. It was a a side of her face and as it had started to melt it was as if it too was crying for what was playing out amongst the friends. His foot came down on the piece of ice and he crushed it under his foot and another step forward crushing another bit of ice. With each step Mizore knew she was going to have to use all of her skills.

Another step forward slowly, deliberately, and then , Wong!. Mizore had a twitch at the corner of her mouth at what she had just seen. With his last step as his foot came down so too did a very large metal wash basin. The wash basin then collided with Tsukune's head making the sound. The basin then slowly, ever so slowly it seemed fell to the side and hit the ground. Tsukune's hand went to his head and felt where the wash basin had hit and a look of disbelief on his face. As funny as it was to Mizore she really didn't want to smile, not at him. Not after what he had done, to her friends.

"I said to stop it!," Yukari yelled her free fist clenched, her other hand holding her wand tightly. "Just stop," she said a second time softer mostly to herself.

"Wha . . ." Tsukune started his eyes back to their normal self. "What have I . . ."

"Tsukune what are you doing! Kill those damn girls. They are in your way! They will stop you from mastering this amazing power," a voice yelled as a man appeared next to Tsukune snapping into existance.

What was that Yukari wondered to herself. That was a teleportaion spell I know it. I thought those were lost ages ago though. And the other bit of magic I felt. Was it coming from this man too?

"N . .No, they are my friends," Tsukune said holding his head, shaking it from side to side. "Get out of my head!" Tsukune yelled and started to stomp on the ground as if that would help but then stomping always seems to make things better. Mizore knew from watching kids in snowball fights that if you were hit in the ear with a snowball they all started to stomp around holding their ear. She always wondered about that, now Tsukune was doing something similar. She hoped that it actually worked.

"Thanks Mizore," Kurumu whispered through her pain as she took a stance next to Mizore not wanting Mizore to stand there alone against Tsukune. Kurumu was still holding her ribs which hurt like hell but at least she wasn't as bad off as Ruby who was still lying against the tree not moving much but still watching what was going on.

Mizore smirked at her knowing that had to hurt to tell her rival thanks but Mizore was grateful for it. "Your welcome."

"Moka! We're glad you're okay too," Kurumu called out as she saw Moka stand up and start towards them holding her neck. They saw a small bit of blood on her neck and knew that her chain must have cut into her neck when Tsukune yanked on it.

Tsukune was still stomping around and the man reached over and rubbed his hand in some of Tsukune's blood that was on the ground. "I guess I'm going to have make my dog do what he is told," the man mused sounding almost petulant.

"What!" All the girls yelled at the same time wondering what this man meant by that. He pulled out a small doll and smeared the blood over it. Yukari was watching and when she saw him do that she knew instantly what was going on, that bit of magic she had felt earlier.

"He's a Blood Mage," she screamed at them. They turned to her but it was at that moment that they all noticed that the ground seemed to be shaking. None of them had noticed it earlier so concerned were they with Tsukune and the new man. Their own wounds didn't help matters much as when you hurt as bad as they did you weren't sure if it was the ground moving or if it was just the pain making you think that the ground was moving.

"Tsukune stop! If you keep . . ." Moka didn't get to finish though as the ground started to cave in where they were all standing an area roughly 30 feet across. "Ahhh,. . . " she screamed as they started to fall.

Kurumu used her wings to keep herself and Mizore aloft but Moka, Yukari who had started to run to Moka, Tsukune and the strange man all disappeared into the hole that appeared in the ground. It started a bit like a sinkhole and then large chunks of earth from the edges started to collapse towards the middle where everyone had disappeared.

"Moka, Yukari, Tsukune!" Kurumu yelled tears falling again. It seemed that was about all she was doing today was crying. Shedding tears for everyone. She hated to seem weak but she just couldn't help it.

Dust was kicked up and they couldn't see down into the hole. "You don't think," Kurumu whispered down to Mizore.

"Don't even think that Kurumu, they are all going to be fine. Speaking of which," Mizore began as she realized Kurumu hissed in pain and they were slowly sinking to the ground. "Maybe you should get us down before you hurt yourself more, and thanks we're even now Kurumu."

"Yeah," she grunted and set them down on the ground as soon as her feet hit the ground she crumpled holding her ribs whimpering in pain.

"Kurumu I hate to ask this but can you get us down there?"

Kurumu half smiled half winced at Mizore, "Yeah. . . just as soon as I. . . . catch. . . my breath."

SCENE

There was coughing, due to the dust filling the air. Surprisingly Moka realized she was okay and so was Yukari who was by her side, then she realized Yukari had cast a spell putting the two of them in a protective bubble so that they weren't hit by any of the falling debris.

Moka reached over and hugged Yukari, "Thanks Yukari. You saved us."

"I tried but it took a bit more magic than I thought it would, besides I let the bubble go a little early," Yukari whispered into Moka's ear.

"What do you . . . Oh god are you okay Yukari?" Moka exclaimed as she realized the blood streaming down the side of Yukari's face. She traced it back to her scalp where Moka noticed a cut in her hair. It wasn't real deep but it was there and Moka didn't really know what to do to make it stop bleeding.

"I think so. I just hurt . . . a lot," Yukari said wincing as she felt her scalp where the cut was. "Oww." She had tears gathering but she fought them back. She would be strong for Moka. She would make her proud of her. She wouldn't be weak, not like she used to be. They had been through so much as a group and they would get through this as well.

Moka smiled weakly at Yukari, she knew she was being tough for her but she was just a kid, she shouldn't have to feel that she needed to act tough. Moka reached out and as she got to her feet she helped Yukari to her feet, and the two of them looked around to see where they found themselves.

Dust still filled the air and bits of dirt and rock continued to fall here and there. They pulled themselves out of the dirt pile they found themselves in and walked around a little. Yukari held her want up and cast a light spell filling the chamber than they found themselves in with a soft glow.

They looked around and noticed that there were statues along the walls most of them ancient as they had pockmarks in the stone from age and weathering. There was even swords along one wall with old tapestries hanging from the wall to their left. The scene on it was long faded as the tapestry itself was rotting and you couldn't even tell any longer what it's original color was. Continuing to gaze around the room the saw what looked like a raised pedestal standing in the center of the room. Placed on that pedestal was a statue that wasn't weathered with age but the carving was immaculate. It looked nearly real. Around the outside and along the far wall from where they were standing was what appeared to be a stone table with one single chair behind it . They both wondered what that could have been for along with all the other carved places to sit lining the walls like a old fasioned arena.

Moka approached the statue with Yukari and she looked up to see just how far they had fallen. It wasn't nearly as far as she thouhgt. They were only maybe sixty or seventy feet down which wouldn't be too hard to get out as long as Kurumu was okay. Otherwise it could become a bit of a challenge to escape their current predicament.

"Wow he looks so life like," Yukari breathed astonished at the skill of the artisit. "I wonder how old this is."

"I don't know but I wonder how Tsukune is doing. I hope he is okay. I hope . . ."

"No need to worry about my friend. He is doing just fine, he was just waiting to see how long it would take the two of you to remember him. It seems quite a while," the strange man said from somwhere to their right amongst the dark alcoves where the light didn't quite reach.

As they looked to the sound of the voice they saw two pinpricks of red appear and then they heard a deep breath. "Moka I really want to fight the other you. I need to get that rosario off you, I need to," Tsukune growled as he came into the light and cracked his neck.

The dust still hadn't settled and they realized Tsukune was ready to kill them. It finally sank in. He was someone else. Moka's blood had done that, she knew that now. "I'm sorry Tsukune! I didn't . ." her voice was cut off in a strangled choke.

"Come off damnit!" He yelled yanking again on her rosario nearly choking her he pulled so hard. He yanked again and Moka stumbled to her knees blood flowing from where her chain had cut into the back of her neck. With each tug the chain bit a little deeper.

Moka screamed but Tsukune didn't care. He only wanted to fight the other Moka, the tough one. "Fine I'll just kill you," he said and forced Moka to her feet where he puched her in the face.

Yukari screamed in fear clutching her head blood leaking though her fingers as she watched two of the people she loved fight. One of them trying to kill the other. She watched as Tsukune's fist made contact with Moka's face and she flew back slamming into the statue where Yukari was standing. Blood was flowing from a cut lip, and cut above Moka's eye. Moka slowly forced herself to her feet using the statue for levereage. She reached up and wiped the blood from her mouth.

"I'm . . . so . . . sorry," Moka choked out through her coughs. She placed her bloodied hand on the statue's chest to steady herself. Yukari reached out and took her hand with her own non bloodied hand and placed her own bloodied hand behind her on the statue hoping that it would give her streagth. She hoped that maybe the stone would somehow transfer some of its streangth to her, to help keep her from collapsing to the ground in fear and exhaustion.

"Stop playing with them Tsukune we need to get going. I have some friends who would love to meet you, make sure though you get me some of their blood before we leave," the man said with a hint of laughter in his voice.

Tsukune stalked forward when he saw Mizore and Kurumu land in front of Moka. "Fine I'll make this quick."

He ran forward and Mizore and Kurumu split apart hoping to flank him but he didn't even seem to notice them as he closed with Yukari and Moka. Moka realized what he was going to do and shoved Yukari away to keep her safe. Tsukune smiled demonically as Moka then turned back to him and she took a puch to her face and as she started to fall he kicked her in the chest sending her flying back into the wall sending up a puff of dust, and a scream of pain from Moka "Ahhhh!". They all could have sworn they even heard above her scream the sound of bone breaking.

Mizore charged him and slashed at him but he swayed back out of her reach while at the same time he kicked her in the leg just above her knee dropping her to the ground face first. She gritted her treeth to keep from screaming in pain she wouldn't give him the damn satisfaction! No she wouldn't. His foot came up but he heard the flap of wings and turned in time to punch Kurumu who was already battered and bloody. She flew back and hit the statue blood blossomed from where her head hit the statue and covered the statue. She flew back a few more feet and hit the ground not moving.

"No, god no," Mizore whispered as she tried to push herself to her feet. She hurt so much but she would help Kurumu. Kurumu had to be alright! She just had to be! "Get up Kurumu!" she screamed in desperation as Tsukune stalked towards her.

Moka slowly rose her whole body on fire. She coughed and winced in pain. She looked around and saw what was going on and her mind nearly blanked. Mizore was down, Kurumu was down and not moving. "No. NOOO! Stop! No. no, no, no," Moka repeated over and over as she slowly started to limp to where Mizore was lying.

Tears were flowing down her face at her inablility to take her own rosario off. She wished she could so that she could save everyone. Without taking it off though she wasn't a fighter. She knew she couldnt' fight and beat Tsukune. It was hopeless. "Don't give up Moka. We never give up," Mizore said as she pushed herself to her knees. Those were seemed like magic as they snapped Moka out her self despair. Mizore was right! They had been through worse than this and they would come out of this one way or another. Her legs stopped shaking so bad as she made it to Mizore's side.

Moka neared her and smiled sadly. "Thanks, Mizore I needed that."

"No problem," Mizore answered as she reached into her dirty pocket and pulled out another lollipop and put it in her mouth. "Now . . ."

She was cut off though by the most horrifying scream any of them had ever heard. They looked over to see where it came from and at the sight both their hearts nearly stopped as their hands shot to cover their mouths which were open in shock. Tsukune was standing with one foot in the middle of Kurumu's back and he had one of her wings in his hands and was slowly pulling. Kurumu was screaming so loud it was nearly deafening, and it rebounded off the walls multiplying the sound over and over.

SCENE

Kurumu was in so much pain that she couldn't even think clearly. It was as if someone had set her body on fire. She screamed and screamed and her thought was so raw that she thought that it might start bleeding as well. Hell she decided it might as well the rest of her seemed to be bleeding pretty well.

She could feel Tsukune pulling on her wing slowly . . . slowly, like he was enjoying it. Almost like a kid with a wishbone wanting to take his time and savor it. She knew that she was going to die. There was nothing she could do to fight back at this point she was at her limit. If she had just fought him like he was a enemy instead of holding back so much because it was Tsukune the man she thought she loved maybe things would have turned out . . . she screamed again followed by a whimper. Tears were flowing freely down her face now making tracks in the blood and dirt, as if they could wash away all the filth they had encountered that day.

She felt her skin start to tear and the warm feeling of blood as it rolled down her back, and she screamed again sobbing. "Stop, please stop," her voice came out a croak from her raw throat. She didn't want to die. She wanted to live and be with her friends. She wanted to really love, she wanted . . . well she realized maybe the things she wanted she wasn't going to get.

"No I won't stop," Tsukune hissed and she could tell he was getting ready to finish ripping her wing off when a voice tore through the room, hoarse from disuse.

"Let her go, that is not how you treat a lady." Kurumu then felt a little extra weight on her and turned her head to see who this newcomer was. He was standing right behind Tsukune with his hand on Tsukune's shoulder.

She watched as the man tightened his grip on Tsukune's shoulder and this time it was a new sound that filled the area. It was the scream of Tsukune.
