Mate of Fate

Chapter 1: The New Guy

Author's notes: The time has finally come to start doing a story for Rosario Vampire. It seems that there won't be a third season for the manga and while that story did end on a good note, it still left some things unanswered. For example, the love life of Tsukune and Moka; despite being a couple at the end, where do things go for them? And what about the other females and some of the other males? How do things end with them? And what about Tsukune becoming the future headmaster of the academy? How does that go down? Well that's what this story is for. To answer those questions and to give the females someone else to love and be their mate of fate especially Kurumu who is the one I love the most. She's free game despite having feelings for Tsukune since she's really not dating him or anyone else. I think it's going to turn out great. So let's get started.

It had been one week since the third year had started. One week since Tsukune's training had started with Moka's father. And one week of being back in school. Despite this things were peaceful at the academy. It had long since been coming. After everything that had happened, it was deserved. But even so, things were about to get interesting. And that would lead to not only true peace despite the bloodshed, fighting, and saving the world again, but true love and happiness for many. And it all began on a Sunday before the new week started when the students were off of school. In some trees on the outskirts of the place at night, some figures in shadows were standing on the branches that were dead and had no leaves. "So this is it huh?" one asked as they saw the academy in the distance.

"Yeah," another replied. "Doesn't seem like much compared to where we've gone."

"I wouldn't be so sure," the figure that was highest up stated. "Don't forget, it's here where everything began. And then those guys are here as well."

"Ah yes… Mizore Shirayuki…" another said. "And all the others with her. Hard to believe they all fought against Alucard like that." There was no threats to his words. Just a regular statement and of curiosity as well.

"You may be interested in meeting her, but I'm more curious about those two; Moka and Tsukune," the figure highest up commented. "According to our info he was once human but now a vampire. And the strongest of their kind like her. I can't help but wonder… just how strong they really are."

"Either way…" a different figure went. "This should be a lot of fun spending our last school year here. And hopefully helping monsters and humans live in coexistence. After all, we are on the side of good. It's in our nature."

"Well then, shall we?" the figure highest up asked and they all descended down for the time tomorrow for them to start school here had arrived.

The new school day came in like it always did with the usual weather and how the students felt. Another week of learning was here. But of course the morning wasn't without a little trouble. After all, Tsakane had to deal a bit with the usual antics the girls usually went through in the morning. However the arrival of eight new students was catching almost everyone's attention. "Hey, check them out!" one of the female students said.

This was due to the group of mostly guys and one girl for a total of eight that seemed to stand out. The males were incredibly good looking and the female was just as gorgeous as Moka. The male student body certainly noticed her until they were crushed along with the females to see she was holding hands with one of the guys in the group. However the females then turned to the other remaining guys who clearly seemed to be single. And the one who seemed to be leading the way was one who stood at 5'7, had long brown hair in a ponytail, and some kind of ruin or charm around his neck attracted to a small chain. It appeared to be some kind of upside triangle that had some kind of points at the top that went inwards. Now normally if this had been a regular school in Japan, the long hair would have been a problem. But in this academy a few males students did or past one had long hair so this wasn't a problem. "So I guess we'll meet up later then?" one of the guys said.

"Yeah, well here it goes," the male with glasses stated. They all went their separate ways.

The homeroom classes were first. This time unlike last year Tsakane and the usual group of friends he had were separated. It might have been because now that he was a vampire like Moka, the fact he didn't need as much protection was part of it. But regardless, this time Kurumu and him weren't in the same homeroom class. That wasn't to say not all the classes were shared with the guy, it's just most of them this time weren't. The succubus sat down at one of the desks as did rest of the students but there was one empty one next to her. And like always her school outfit was what the female had worn for the past two years. Just then the teacher for this homeroom came in and the students here all grew quiet. This time it wasn't Shizuka Nekonome but a different one for Kurumu. "Are we all here?" they asked. "Good. Then let me welcome you back to Youkai Academy. Hard to believe you're all seniors now." The teacher then went on to explain why it was even more important this school existed for monsters and humans could live in harmony. And as such every monster here had to learn how to live in their human forms.

"And now it would seem that this year we have a new student with us," the teacher then announced. They turned their head to the door that was slightly opened and called out to them. "Come on in."

The person did and it was the male with glasses and long brown hair. The teacher wrote his name on the chalkboard. "Hello there," the guy said. "Name's Nicholas Harker. Nice to meet you."

There was a mummering of the students. It was very different than during that first semester when Moka had first come here. Especially among most of the females here. "Whoa… he's hot," one of them whispered.

"A looker," another said softly.

Kurumu however didn't have that kind of reaction. Normally any other guy she wouldn't have given a second glance at. But even so there was something about this one that made this succubus take a good look. Not in a romantic sense but because of something else. She couldn't put her finger on it right in this moment. "You can get acquainted with him later," the teacher here stated. "Meanwhile let's find you a seat. And it looks like your seat will be next to hers." By that he meant the one next to Kurumu.

"Of course."

This new guy Nicholas walked up to the empty desk on Kurumu's left. She looked up at him and they made eye contact. "Looks like we're neighbors in this class," he stated. The guy then sat down. "I hope we can be friendly to the each other."

The succubus was a little surprised. Not only had he not fallen for her right away as most guys usually did but also this Nicholas seemed very polite and well mannered. There was also something in her body telling her this guy was alright and could be trusted. "Er… yeah, nice to meet you," she replied. The guy sent her a small smile and then turned his attention forward to the teacher.

The rest of the time passed by without trouble and then it was time for the first period class. Kurumu was just about to leave when someone called out to her. "Hey, hold on a sec."

Turning around and up showed it was Nicholas. The succubus had to since she was only 5'0. And now standing up the female saw this guy was a good seven inches taller than her. "Yes?" Kurumu replied.

"Listen, I don't mean to bother you right away but I was wondering if you could help me find my next class?" the guy with long hair asked. "I almost got lost trying to find my homeroom one and I certainly would hate to be late."

The succubus considered it for a moment. "Okay, what class do you have next?" she asked. The female was told. "Well I have that to I guess I could show you the way."

"Thank you and I hope it's not too much trouble."

"I'm heading there to, why would it be?"

"Well then, shall we?" Nicholas replied. Kurumu nodded and the two left the class. What the succubus didn't realize in this moment that this would be the beginning for many things for her and her friends.
