Vampire Maleka here, sorry once again for being late with the next chapter, I have been quite busy these days, working on both my novel, and a new project that my friend and I are working on. But I have not forgotten this project. I know that this story has deviated from time to time from the story line I wanted to tell, my apologizes.
My intent was to tell a story of a third season that may never happen, and keep it as close to the anime as possible. This did not happen, but I think I stumbled onto a good story line for my first attempt. Now bringing Kurumu back to life is not beyond vampire legend, and it is not an attempt to please Kurumu fans either. I also like Kurumu, as well as the others.
I do plan to do a re-write of the series as I fully intended it too be, once this is finished, but I seem too be pulled to finish what I started and I hope it will not disappoint all who have read and enjoyed this series so far. Now that I have finished my writer's babble let's get ready for part 1 chapter 10/ Resurrection/Separation + Vampire. I do not own R+V or it's characters.
Chapter 10: "Resurrection/Separation + Vampire" Part 1
"She's here!" Mikogami exclaimed as he stood up quickly from behind his desk, while Issa just kept looking towards the window without expression as he commented, "I tried to tell you it was time." "Now is not the time for I told you so's Lord Shuzen," the board-chairman responded as he walked out from behind his desk, and called for Rubi, then finishing his comment before the witch entered the office. "We've got to set things in motion to throw Akua-chan off of Moka-chan's trail."
Before Rubi could respond to her care-taker and boss, Mikogami shot out orders to her. "Go immediately to Moka-chan and Tsukune-kun's bungalow and tell them too come to my office as quickly as possible. Then fetch the rest of their friends, including Shuzen Kocoa, and have them come here also, and I want you to be here as well, do you understand?" Rubi nodded her response and ran out of the office to obey her master.
"Let us hope that Tsukune-kun is with Moka at the moment." Lord Shuzen remarked hopefully as walked over towards a table with liquor bottles on it and poured himself a large glass of blood-wine and gulping it down like there was no tomorrow. Then turning as he poured another glass full, he continued, "I don't need to tell you what will happen if the great-grandson of Emperor Akelam is harmed in any way."
As Akua walked next to Tsukune as they headed for the Academy, she could sense the dangerous power that he possessed which made her start assessing him to herself quietly, "He is every bit as powerful as Kiria had told me. Well for once he wasn't embellishing on the truth, I will have to play this out very carefully."
"We are almost there." Tsukune remarked, jarring Akua from her thoughts. "Just another turn or two." "Tsukune-kun?" Akua began her acting, "Do you have a girlfriend?" and was surprised to find herself blushing, and not understanding why? Had she admired his power so much that she could easily like this young man? She inwardly chided herself for such a thought, he was her enemy, he was the one along with the others that had thrown a wrench into her plans. No she would lure him in her trap and then kill him, but not before he witnessed his precious Moka join her and Fairy Tale.
Tsukune blushed hard, but responded, "Yes as a matter of fact I am engaged to be married as soon as graduation is over." "I see," Akua acting disappointed replied, "Well do you think your fiancee would be jealous if we were too be just friends?" "I cannot speak for Moka but I wouldn't think there would be a problem if we're only friends." Tsukune responded with a smile.
"What!" Moka and Myoki responded when Rubi told them the board-chairman's request after she caught her breath. "All I know Moka-chan is that he was very urgent about it. By the way where is Tsukune-san?" "He went for a walk, where I don't know?" Moka replied worriedly. "Damn, he needs too go with you guys." Rubi responded with fear. Myoki questioned Rubi, "Why does he want us for Rubi-san? And why the urgency?" "It's like I told you when I first got here, I do not know, all I know is that it is his command of me. Now you two get a move on, I have to find Mizora-chan and Yukari-chan as well. If I see Tsukune-san along the way I will tell him too meet you and Myoki-chan in the board-chairman's office. Go!"
After seeing Akua too the administration office, Tsukune took his leave and continued his pondering of what his mother had told him about reviving Kurumu. (Flash back to phone conversation with his mother), "When one of us truly dies Tsukune our body fades away leaving no trace, if there is ashes or bone, we can be revived if the conditions are met." "What conditions?" he asked his mother. "The Emperor of our race, told of a special container that the ancient Egyptians constructed for use to help the departed move on. He discovered it had another power to it that could bring back to life, vampires who were thought too be dead."
"But there is a large problem with the conditions son." Kasumi responded. "Large Problem?" Tsukune replied almost deflated in his hope. "He, the Emperor, has to read the spell on the container, after the other two conditions are met." "And that's a large problem mother?" Tsukune replied in relief. "Yes Tsukune it is," Kasumi responded matter of factually, "you see son, the Emperor hates his own race, except for his blood family, and even that is an iffy prospect at best for them."
(Back to the here and now).
Tsukune's thoughts were interrupted when Rubi ran into him knocking the two of them to the ground, well almost anyways, Rubi landed on top of him. "Tsukune-san, I am so sorry, but this is kinda nice to be this close too you, and in this way, coooo I wish you and I could stay like this all the time." "Rubi-san!" Tsukune cried out in fear as his head kept turning left and right to make sure Moka didn't see the situation he was now in.
Then Rubi was up on her feet quickly as she remembered what she was ordered to do, "Tsukune-san the Board-chairman wants you in his office immediately, Moka-chan and the others are already there, we have to hurry is all I know."
Kurumu's spirit was lying in a patch of pretty flowers, but she wasn't at peace. She knew something was terribly wrong with this place, or that she wasn't meant too stay here. What ever it was, she had a strong desire to be back with her friends and her beloved Tsukune, but she didn't know how she would ever see them again. "You are so stupid Kurumu," she began for umpteenth time scolding herself. "you just had too sacrifice your life, instead of just diverting Kahlua's attention, and now what are you stupid? Dead, dead, dead, dead."
"You're not dead silly girl." a familiar voice responded cheerfully. Kurumu was startled then sat up starring at the source of the voice. "Kahlua-chan?" "Yep that's her alright." another voice cheerfully responded, this time the voice was that of a male. "James-chan?" Kurumu responded in confusion. "In the flesh. . .oops I mean in the spirit, sorry Kurumu-chan." Tsukune's uncle responded sheepishly.
"But how are you two here?" she emphatically inquired as her heart was beginning too swell with joy that she was not alone in this place, whatever it was. Kahlua looked at the girl and responded as if she had to explain the situation to a small child. "Well James-kun drove his hand into my heart, and then we both fell into the ocean, water is bad for us vampires so both James-kun and I well we died in a sense just like you."
Kurumu grimaced as she tried too hold back her anger, but failed. "It doesn't take an Einstein to figure out that you both died or you two wouldn't be here." But that didn't stop Kahlua from patting Kurumu on the top of her head as if too calm a angry child. "Stop that!" Kurumu responded with irritation. "I'm here because of you Kahlua-chan!" "No," James began calmly and with authority in his voice, "you are here because you didn't remember how dangerous my precious wife is when her limiter is removed, and you were told remember Kurumu-chan that she was not in her right mind as well, correct?"
She lowered her head in shame as she did recall James-chan's words of warning in the planing phase of the mission. "I am sorry, you're right it was my fault that I am in this place." "Well maybe when we get too come back to life you will learn too stop treading were Angel's fear too tread." he replied smiling. "Come back too life?" Kurumu responded not quite knowing what James-kun was talking about. "Oh yes," James responded smiling, "you think I would literally kill my wife and sacrifice myself if there was no way too come back?" "Uhmm I was dead before you two where correct?" she responded. "How would I know anything about that?"
"Ah, you are so right, and I imagine that your maker, Tsukune didn't know about this either." James continued. "You hadn't been a vamp for long, and Tsukune though he was born a vamp, didn't know anything about how versatile we vampires really are. Well I guess I need too teach you something about what you are, so you are not left in the dark anymore, hell who knows you might teach your master a thing or two when we get back."
Once Akua got settled into her dorm room, she began working out her master plan. She was going to enjoy this game, she loved her sister Moka but she needed Moka to awaken Alucard. And once the beast was awaken she believed she could control his power and drive him to finish off the human race. And if it meant her sisters death, well it would just have too be if she was too become the greatest of all monsters.
Everyone was gathered in the office, Lord Mikogami, Lord Issa Shuzen, Tsukune, Moka, Kocoa, Mizore, Yukari, Myoki, and Rubi. Prior too the gathering, Mikogami made it absolutely clear to Lord Shuzen, that it was not time yet to tell Moka the whole truth, that it would be he himself that would tell what was needful for the moment, and Lord Shuzen reluctantly agreed for the time.
Tsukune opened the gathering with the question he knew was on their minds, "Why are we here Board-chairman?" "I and Lord Shuzen believes the academy and its students are in danger." Lord Mikogami began with his trade mark eerie grin. "We believe there is an operative from Fairy-Tale already here, but we are unaware of who it is. But what we do know for a certain is that this operative is out to kidnap Akashyia Moka and possibly attempt to kill anyone who's associated with her."
Outer-Moka gasped as her hands came up to cover her mouth, the words she had just heard terrified her. Tsukune reached over and put his arm around her shoulder in comfort, and as he did this he heard Inner-Moka's voice in his mind. "Lover ask them if they know why this operative wants too kidnap me?" Tsukune asked the question and the board-chairman responded, "We are not entirely sure about the why's? Anything right now would just be speculation on our part, but my guess would be revenge for your part in Yukari-chans rescue."
Tsukune objected as Inner-Moka knew he would, "That makes absolutely no sense at all Lord Baruku, would not all of us in this room be subject to kidnapping as well?" The Board-chairman responded calmly, "As I have said, it was just my thought for a reason, but make no mistakes about it Tsukune-kun, all of us in this room are a certified target of Fairy-Tale, do not forget that."
"I hope this operative tries something with me," Tsukune responded with unbridled rage in his voice, "I owe them so much for taking the life of our precious Kurumu-chan!" Lord Mikogami's smile widened as he seen Tsukune's resolve and his secret surprise for the young vampire. "You know Tsukune-kun that you cannot unleash your full power here, the barrier around this campus cannot hold up to the power you wield when your seal is removed, and like I said earlier, we do not know what kind of Youkai and class of youkai we are dealing with, and that can spell disaster for everyone here as well as revealing ourselves to the human world." Tsukune tried hard to maintain his calm, but with great effort he succeeded.
Kurumu, Kahlua, and James sat together in the patch of flowers talking, and enjoying each others company. As they talked, they noticed a bright light appear not more than a few feet from them, then the light shot out and engulfed both Kahlua and James and pulled them into the main body of light, then as quickly as the light appeared, it vanished, leaving a stunned Kurumu all alone and scared.
The room was charged with power as a lone figure stood before two ancient looking containers which looked like sarcophagi. The figure was of a man, and he was chanting the spell he learned so long ago. As soon as the energy died down, another person entered the room, it was a beautiful woman who looked no more than sixteen years of age. She stood next to the man and responded, "Well my love are they amongst the living once again?" The man who was dressed in casual clothing just smiled at his wife of over 3,000 years and said, "They are moving, that is always a good sign."
Then the two sat up in the sarcophagi, both dazed and confused. "Welcome back children," the man smiled as he approached them to help them stand and exit the containers. "So how was your rest James and Kahlua?" With that the two looked at the man and woman and realized that they were naked, and tried to cover themselves the best they could, as James who was embarrassed smiled as he responded, "You will please excuse us your Majesty's if we don't bow at the moment, we seem to be in a awkward state at the moment." With that the Emperor and Empress couldn't help it, they just started laughing.
Once the gathering ended and everyone was about too leave, Mikogami asked Tsukune, Moka, Myoki, and Yukari to stay. After the others left, and Lord Shuzen took a seat near the Board-chairman's desk, the leader of the dark lords walked towards a shelf and took down a small ancient looking container, then walked over to a large table surrounded by wide candles.
Tsukune looked at the container and was about to inquire about it when the Board-chairman asked him to remove Moka's Rosario saying, "The real Moka needs to be awaken for this ceremony to take place." Then he turned to lord Shuzen and inquired, "Have you made contact with the Emperor yet?" Issa nodded that he had. Tsukune removed the Rosario from Moka's choker and within moments Inner-Moka appeared, looking at the box with confusion.
"You both are probably asking yourselves what this container is and what is in it, correct?" Lord Mikogami inquired of them, as all they could do was nod in response. "Well inside the box are the remains of someone very important to the three of you in this room," as he included Yukari in the number. Tsukune picked up on what he meant as he once again remembered the phone conversation with his mother, "Kurumu-chan is in that box right?" he inquired knowing his guess was correct. "Very good, Tsukune-kun, I can see that you know something about this." the Board-chairman responded with a larger than life smile.
Then almost instantly, the office seemed to fill with energy as a dimensional portal opened, and first to step out was the Emperor Akelam holding on to one end of a larger container which looked to be a larger version of the smaller container sitting on the candle rimmed table. Then holding to the other end of the container stepping thru was a person that made Myoki scream for joy as she rushed towards her father, as her tears streamed down her face. She had nearly knocked him and her Great-great-great-grandfather down. "DADDY, OH DADDY" she cried with joy, as her father's eyes were also streaming with his own tears.
"Honey let me and big grandpa put this box down first okay?" James responded as his daughter reluctantly let him go, "Besides there is someone behind me that wants to see you also." When Myoki turned to look she shouted again with joy as the person behind her daddy began crying loudly, "MYOKI!" "MOMMY!" and mother and daughter held each other tightly. Moka who was stunned just whispered, "Nee-San."
Tsukune walked over to his Uncle and hugged him, "I thought you were gone, uncle." "I was for a time, but you can thank your great-grandfather for bringing us back." "Thank you grandfather." Tsukune relied as he bowed. "You are quite welcome, but we are not finished with reunions as yet, and we must get this over with, I have things too do, and your grandmother hates it when I don't get those things done." the Vampire Emperor chuckled.
Kurumu sat crying in her loneliness, and feeling sorry for herself as she could not understand why she was all alone again? She finally stood up and began to slowly walk around the patch of flowers, trying to enjoy their beauty, but failing for all of her trying. She had already guessed than James-chan and Kahlua-chan were both back in the land of the living, and the more she thought about it, the more wondered if she would ever be able to return as well?
Would Tsukune try if he knew? Would Moka even let him try? After all she and her were love rivals, and what better way to keep Tsukune than to let her stay in this limbo. But she knew Moka wasn't like that and she chided herself for even thinking that way. "I miss everyone so much, I just want to see my precious friends again. And again her tears fell unseen and unknown to the world of the living.
As soon as I can, I will get Part 2 out. I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Until next time.
