First things first, I don't own Rosario + Vampire! This is my original fan fiction story based on the manga series created by Akihisa Ikeda. Its where the story continues on in my heart from where Akihisa Ikeda chose to end his story of Tsukune Aono and Moka Akashiya.I'm not doing this for money or fame. This just like most everyone else here is just for fun. To pay tribute to Akihisa Ikeda and the manga so many of us fell in love with. I don't pretend to be a great writer, I probably add in to much detail. But I sincerely hope you can overlook my flaws and still find the story I write entertaining. I would love to hear your thoughts on how I perceived the future of Rosario + Vampire could have gone, if it would have continued into more seasons.

Chapter 9
Ancestors Letter
/\^^/\
Tsukune and Moka made their way back to their dorms to pick up what they packed the night before to take with them over break. Tsukune had a large backpack stuffed with some clothes and a few books on monster politics Mr. Shuzen gave him to study. While Moka had a large dark pink suitcase and duffle bag full of clothes, which Tsukune instantly took off her hands to carry as they made their way to where Mr. Shuzen had a limo driver waiting to take them to Tsukune's home in the Human world.
"Miss Akashiya, it's so good to see you again. This must be the good Mr. Aono I've heard so much about." The driver said while opening the trunk for their luggage.
"It's good to see you as well Mr. Thornchilde. Yes this is my boyfriend Tsukune Aono. I'll be spending my vacation with him in the human world. So how's your family doing?" Moka asked as she started to walk towards the door to the limo.
"Their doing very well Miss Akashiya, Oren is doing well in his studies and Hakira is already running around the house and talking up a storm." he said with pride as he opened the door for them.
"Well give them my best when you get home ok?" Moka said as she and Tsukune climbed into the limo.
\/^^^^\/
The seats were luxurious black leather with dark red flooring and overhead. The bar inside was fully stocked with sodas and tomato juice as well as a few transfusion blood bags marked B Positive. There was also various snacks from hard candies to chocolate bars, cheese curls to potato chips along with some beef jerky. Tsukune handed the driver the directions before they closed the privacy window and cuddled up for the 45 minute drive from the school. Moka was starting to get nervous again about revealing everything to Tsukune's parents. But as it was it really would be a hard thing to hide with her ruby red eyes and all. While she did have some dark sunglasses she really couldn't wear them all the time. Tsukune could see Moka was nervous about the big revealing of what they really were to his parents. Truth be told he was a little nervous himself but couldn't stand the thought of lying to them anymore.
"I'm sure everything's going to work out just fine Moka. Please stop worrying?" Tsukune said reassuringly.
"I truly hope you're right Tsukune." Moka said cuddling in closer as he wrapped an arm around her.
Feeling his arm holding her washed her worries away for the time being as she allowed herself to melt into the warm, safe feeling of the love she knew he had for her. She knew without a shadow of a doubt that he loved her with every fiber of his being, just as she loved him with every fiber of hers. There wasn't any doubt that she would spend the rest of her life with him. For the rest of the ride they had a few drinks and joked around a bit. Before they knew it the limo was pulling alongside his home and coming to a stop. The driver hopped out and opened their door. Tsukune climbed out and then offered his hand to Moka to help her out of the limo.
"Thank you Tsukune." Moka said as Tsukune helped her up.
"You're welcome Moka."he said before he grabbed their luggage from the trunk.
The two then proceeded to the front door where they were greeted by Tsukune's mom.
"Come in come in and let me have a look at you two." Kasumi Aono said.
They stepped in and took off their shoes in the foyer before stepping into the living room where Kasumi was waiting for them. She looked at Moka and noticed right away that she was different from what she remembered. The last time she saw her she had bubblegum pink hair, now it was a bright silver with pink streaks mostly at the ends. Then she looked over her son and noticed he was looking so much manlier than she remembered him.
"My, you're growing into a man so fast Tsukune. Just look at you, I hardly see the little boy that left for school 3 years ago anymore." Kasumi said with pride.
"Thanks mom." Tsukune said giving her a hug.
"Moka dear, whatever happened to your hair? And please take off your glasses so I can get a good look at you." Kasumi asked smiling.
"Um mom, can we sit down first. We have a few things to tell you and you're going to want to be sitting for this." Tsukune said as calmly as he could.
"Oh... ok son. Is everything alright?" Kasumi asked a bit worried now.
"Yes mom, every thing's fine. It's just we kind of have some big news for you. Tsukune said reassuringly as they walked further into the living room and sat on the sofa.
\/^^^^\/
Hoyt Baldassare was a member of the vampire elder council and he was deep in thought as he left his home in the yokai world. In his hand he had a small wooden box that he held with great care as he made his way to his limo.
'I believe it's finally time Marika.' He thought as he looked towards the heavens.
"Where to sir?" The driver asked as he held the door open as Hoyt climbed inside the limo.
"The Aono residence." Hoyt replied.
"Yes sir Mr. Baldassare." The driver confirmed before he shut the door.
The driver then climbed into the drivers seat and started heading out toward the desired destination.
Hoyt looked at the box as he remembered his former mistress. The lovely Marika Junsui. He had failed to fully protect her and she had lost all her powers and became mortal. Though she had finally found love in the human world after they had made their escape. They never found a way to restore her to who she once was. In fact she had given up on it after her first and only child had been borne. Her husband was a very nice man for a human. He had treated her with the purest love and more devotion he had ever seen from anyone, yokai or human. On her deathbed before she succumbed to old age to join her beloved husband who had passed away a few years before hand. She had charged him with watching and protecting her family line from the shadows. She also handed him the box he was now holding, instructing him to give the box to any descendant of hers that becomes a yokai when they are ready. A tear slid down his cheek as he thought of her, followed by a small smile as he would finally be fulfilling his last duty for his late Queen.
"From everything I've heard about Tsukune Aono… Marika, you would be very proud, very proud of him!" Hoyt said softly as his fingers continued to caress the small wooden box.
\/^^^^\/
"Well mom, what do you think about yokai wanting to co exist with everyone peacefully?" Tsukune asked.
"Well, they did save a lot of lives almost a year and a half ago. And I was actually a bit shocked to find out that Mr. Mako at the deli was one of them. I never would have guessed had he not saved Mrs. Holden and a few others that day. So I really have no problem with them. Why do you ask Tsukune?" Kasumi asked with a curious look.
"Well you know that school you sent me too? Well it's actually a school for yokai, everyone there is a yokai. The students as well as the staff." Tsukune said and then waited for that to sink in a bit.
"You...mean... Moka here is a..a...a yokai?" Kasumi said a bit shaken up.
"Yes Mrs. Aono. But please don't fear me. I wouldn't even dream of bringing any harm to you." Moka said nervously as she removed her sunglasses, revealing her ruby red eyes.
"Wha..what kind of yokai are you?" Kasumi asked timidly.
"I'm a vampire." Moka said looking down and starting to shake a bit, fearful of what kind of reaction she was going to get.
"A vampire... Tsukune are you sure about this?" his mother asked before continuing "Is she really the one for you son?"
"Yes mom. I love her with all my heart. But we also have one more thing to confess." Tsukune said, swallowing hard before he continued. "I'm now a vampire as well."
Kasumi's eyes went wide as she covered her mouth as tears formed in her eyes.
"Oh Tsukune, but you look so normal... are you really...a...vampire now?" she asked fearfully.
"Yes mom, but I'm still me, I'm still your son." Tsukune said as he transformed into his vampire form.
Kasumi watched as Tsukune's hair became a bright silver and his eyes a deep crimson. His skin became like the purest porcelain and he opened his mouth, revealing his fangs. Before he just smiled that precious smile she loved with a gentleness in his expression that she had known all his life. Her mind was racing, her little baby wasn't human anymore. They sent him to a school of monsters and now... 'Oh God, what have we done.' she thought as tears flowed down her cheeks and she started feeling lightheaded.
"We never should have sent you to that school, oh God what have we done. And you...you did this to him didn't you! How could you!" Kasumi cried just before she passed out from the shock.
Moka burst into tears as Tsukune caught his mom before she could fall off the sofa, laid her on the sofa and put a blanket over her. He then took Moka into his arms, doing his best to comfort her as she sobbed uncontrollably, convinced Tsukune's mom would never forgive her. As Kasumi starts to come too, unnoticed by the two vampires.
"She...sob...she...hates...sob...me...sniff..Tsukune...sob...sob..She'll...sob..never...sniff...for..forgive..sob..m..m...me...sob..sob." Moka cried heavily.
"Everything will be ok Moka. Mom just needs a moment to absorb this. Then we can explain why I'm a vampire now." Tsukune said as reassuringly as he could.
"You...sob...know...I...never...sob..sniff..wanted...sob...to...sniff...take...away...sob..your...humanity... from...sob...you...sniff.. but...sob...I… couldn't...sob...let...you… sob..die.. sniff..sob." Moka said still crying uncontrollably.
Moka jumped when she felt his mothers arms wrap around her as his mom kissed her on her cheek.
"That was all I needed to hear. Now you just calm down and relax a bit and I'll get us some tea." Kasumi said softly before she shakily let go and slowly got her feet. She then got up to go make some tea while Moka just sat there half stunned from his mothers warm hug and kiss.
'How can she be like this? How can she just accept this and forgive me?' Moka thought to herself.
"I told you everything would be ok." Tsukune said softly before he kissed her gently.
As Tsukune's mother was making tea, tears flowed down her cheeks from what she had just learned. Her baby was no longer human! They had sent him to a place full of monsters, real live monsters and as a result Moka had been forced to decide between taking his humanity and saving his life or letting him die… She wanted anything to be able to blame anyone for what happened. She wanted to blame Moka but she knew that it wasn't Moka's fault. She had watched the sweet vampire break down and had heard her words. Kasumi was certain that Moka blamed herself deeply from what she had heard. No… Kasumi knew all the fault fell upon her and her husband. They were the ones that sent him there in the first place. They never even investigated the school! And now...now their baby was a vampire… Kasumi pondered all of this while the water for tea was heating over the stove. Wondering to herself what the future would bring them as Tsukune's dad walks in the front door and removes his shoes.
"Kasumi I'm home sweetheart. Hey Tsukune my boy...is everything ok?" He asks noticing a very attractive girl trying to stop crying in Tsukune's arms in the living room and for some reason Tsukune has silver hair.
"Yeah dad everything's fine now." Tsukune says as Moka starts to wipe the tears away from her eyes and blows her nose into a tissue.
"Koji dear, you're going to want to take a seat in the living room. Our son is now a vampire and I'm sure they really have a good reason so no freaking out. Now is the time to listen and be supportive of our son's new lifestyle. Ok Koji?!" Kasumi says in a somewhat shrill voice that says she's still trying to wrap her head around it.
Koji walks over looking at his boy a bit closer and notices the red eyes on both of them as he grabs a seat with a slightly bewildered look.
"Vampire huh?" Tsukune's dad says curiously
"Yep, vampire... and we'll explain everything just as soon as mom comes back out." Tsukune says rubbing the back of his head.
Kasumi wiped her eyes and took a deep breath before she returned to the living room and set the tea down on the coffee table. Then she sat down next to her husband to listen to the whole story after she poured several cups of tea and handed them out. They heard about how Moka had to give Tsukune her blood several different times to save his life. How Moka even tried to force him to quit and go home as well as how Tsukune refused to leave her side. And then how Tsukune threw away his humanity to save her life.
"I never wanted this for him, I never wanted him to lose his humanity, I wanted to protect him and have him graduate with his humanity intact. But I couldn't bare the thought of him dying... Of being in a world where he didn't exist anymore, and for that I won't apologize." Moka said.
"You have nothing to apologize for. You saved my sons life so many times. You have our deepest gratitude Ms. Akashiya. I could never thank you enough and I'm so sorry for hurting your feelings before giving you a chance to explain everything. Can you ever forgive me?" Kasumi asks as she bows down low before her.
"There is nothing to forgive Mrs. Aono. You had every right to react that way. I blamed myself up until a few days ago. Then Tsukune opened my eyes to the truth. The truth that he chose this." Moka said.
His parents looked at her and then looked at Tsukune.
"Son?" Mr. Aono said with a raised eyebrow.
"It's true. When I decided to stay in that school just so I could be with her, I chose this. I fell in love with her the moment I laid eyes on her. I just couldn't leave her side even though I knew it was basically committing suicide to stay there. But being with the girl I secretly loved along with the other great friends I made there. I just couldn't bring myself to leave. I chose this by choosing her over my own safety. And I would do it again in a heartbeat. I have absolutely no regrets about becoming a vampire, in fact I love it cause now I can truly understand and protect her." Tsukune says with pride.
"Oh Tsukune, I love you so much." Moka says as she wraps her arms around him.
\/^^^^\/
The doorbell rings and Kasumi heads over to answer the door. She opens the door and see's a man standing there in a very expensive suit holding a small wooden box. Behind him is a large black limousine.
"May I help you?" Kasumi asks
"Yes, my name is Hoyt Baldassare. I'm looking for Tsukune Aono. Would he be available Mrs. Aono?" Hoyt asked kindly with a small bow.
"Err...um.. Yes. Would you like to come in?" Kasumi asked returning a slight bow.
"Thank you" Hoyt said as he stepped inside and removed his shoes.
He then followed her into the living room and was a bit surprised to see both Tsukune and Moka in their true form. Both of them instantly taking defensive stances as he entered the room, from sensing his suppressed yokai.
'Wow, their senses are quite sharp… interesting… I can usually go undetected by vampires ten times their age.' Hoyt thought to himself as he entered the living room.
"Relax, I come in peace." Hoyt says in a calm and soothing voice.
"Who are you and what do you want?" Tsukune asks warily.
"My name is Hoyt Baldassare, and I'm here to give you this. Hoyt says as he hold out the small wooden box.
"It was my late mistresses dying wish for me to give this to you." Hoyt adds as Tsukune accepts the box and opens it.
Inside there is a sealed envelope and a jewelry box with a small letter attached to it. Tsukune reads the small letter first.
\/^^^^\/
To my dear descendant;
These rings belonged to me and both of my late husbands. They are for when you find a love you can't live without.
Love
Marika Junsui Aono
\/^^^^\/
Tsukune decided to look at the rings later. Right now he was looking at the sealed envelope. As he picks it up he notices the letter is addressed -To one of my descendants whose life is changed into something supernatural.- Tsukune looks at it with a bit of wonder. How could one of his ancestors have known one of her descendants would be changed into something supernatural. He's almost scared to read it but decides to read it anyway. There's a seal on the envelope affixed with some markings Tsukune is a bit familiar with, Magical Glyphs. He studies them closely and thanks to being around Yukari for so long now he realizes that only the one meant to read the letter could open it. He breaks the seal which emits a blue light for a second before disappearing entirely. He then carefully opens it and pulls out the letter.
\/^^^^\/
To my beloved descendant;
If you are reading this then you're no longer human. You're a VAMPIRE. And an extremely strong one at that, a lot stronger than you should be for just a human that's been turned. I wasn't borne human. I was borne from the only untainted bloodline of Vampires. Pure Vampire the Original Vampire Bloodline. Our strength was never watered down by adding the blood of a human turned vampire. But from our bloodline the three vampire sub bloodlines were formed. The strongest of those were the Shinso Vampires like the Dark Lord Akasha Bloodriver of the Akashiya royal line. Her Husband Issa Shuzen of the Shuzen royal line is a mixture of Risho and Shinso vampires. Thus his family line is quite strong. I pray your awakened by one of them. Then there is the Vyshen vampire, the most common of the three sub bloodlines and the weakest. But none of that matters unless you were awakened by a turned vampire. On which case you will only be able to become as strong as Issa Shuzen. But if you were awakened by one who was borne a vampire you will inherit my bloodline and eventually my strength. I was Borne in the year 2687BC, My name was Marika Junsui of the Royal Blood of Junsui Kyuketsyki, before some holy water on a silver crucifix dagger along with a very powerful witches curse sealed my powers and my blood. Turning me basically into a human. But I knew my blood would be passed onto my descendants and that someday perhaps. A new original would be borne, a new Junsui Vampire. To you I leave my entire fortune that I had amassed over eons. Just unfold the envelope and put a single drop of your blood on all four corners for the map to where I've placed your fortune. The guardian's name is Yashema. Speak its name with your aura in your voice and he shall be tame. Remember one thing, when you take a mate. Do it for love. For you can only reproduce and have children if you're mated in love. I wasn't able to have children until I met Tsukki Aono, Though I'm now nearing my final days since I've been aging like a human. I feel so blessed to have finally known the true beauty of being in love and being loved. Soon I go to be reunited with my Tsukki.
May your life be filled with wonder and love
Marika Junsui Aono
18 April 1664
\/^^^^\/
Tsukune mouth dropped as they read and reread the letter that had been safely kept by Hoyt Baldassare, until now. 351 years later The letter finally had an owner, Tsukune Aono.
"Hey Moka, um you know how I'm a lot stronger than I should be." Tsukune says rather excited.
"Um..Yes Tsukune, It's amazing how strong you are. They say it must be something dormant in my blood that probably caused it but they don't know what exactly. Why bring that up Tsukune?" Moka asks curiously.
"Well I think the mystery may be solved." Tsukune says as he hands the letter to Moka.
Her eyes grow wide as she reads the letter and her mouth drops as she reads the names of her Mother and Father mentioned in it. She remembers reading the name Marika Junsui in the Vampire history books in her fathers library. She was known as the Queen of the Vampires but disappeared some 400 years ago after her husband, King Herako Junsui was murdered by an assassin. She was presumed to be dead as well. She read the letter 3 times before she looked at Tsukune.
"Oh Tsukune, My God, Tsukune your the heir to the Vampire Throne! Marika Junsui was the Queen of all Vampires Tsukune." Moka said loudly extremely excited, before her face suddenly became seriously concerned.
"What does that mean Moka?" Kasumi asked confussed.
"It means that Tsukune will one day be crowned King of the Vampires." Moka said before adding "If we can keep this under wraps until you have all your powers fully under your control."
"King of the Vampires?! I'm not sure that I would want to be a King. It's bad enough that I'm going to be a Dark Lord on top of being the new Headmaster of Yokia Academy." Tsukune said.
"Tsukune as King of the Vampires you would have the authority and influence to bring a great deal of change to the Vampire race." Moka said.
Tsukune thought about that and knew most vampires really didn't view other races lives with any real value. As a King he might be able to change that. He might be able to get more of them to send their young to Yokia Academy where they'll hopefully learn that all life has value. One of the core changes he wants to be added. It is his belief that it's the duty of the strong to defend and preserve the weak. If he could install that mentality into the vampire race... True peace would be that much easier to attain in both the monster and human worlds. Then he noticed Moka thinking about something very seriously and the look on her face suggested something not very good.
"Well if my being King is such a good thing why do you have a worried look Moka?" Tsukune asked.
"Tsukune, we can't tell anybody about this. Not even my father, at least not yet." Moka said looking him in the eye.
"Ok...but why the big secret?" Tsukune asked puzzled.
"A lot of vampires, especially some of the elders won't be very happy about this. In their eyes you'll be to human to be allowed to have that kind of authority over them. They won't like having their authority reduced to being advisers instead of ruling. They'll try to kill you Tsukune, you'll have assassins after you and your family. No one can know until you have mastered your powers." Hoyt said sternly.
"Yeah...I can see how that could be a problem. But why should we not tell Moka's father?" Tsukune asked.
"Because there are too many eyes and ears watching the academy. I'm sure word has already spread about you defeating my father in your sparing match. So we can expect a few challengers to arrive hoping to make a name for themselves." Moka said before continuing. "Right now you're not a threat to them. Even with the authority you'll have as a Dark Lord, because the territory that you're about to receive doesn't have a major influence or any real authority in the vampire community. But as an heir to the throne... Now do you see Tsukune?" Moka asked.
"Right, I see what you mean. The only influence I may have in the vampire territories would be more in business deals they may have or desire in the territories I will control as a Dark Lord." Tsukune said looking a bit nervous.
"Exactly Tsukune. Though once you've mastered your powers, they wouldn't dare to upset you. You will be strong enough to wipe out the whole elder council at the same time if you wanted too. That is something all vampires respect...Strength." Hoyt said before adding "As for myself I gladly accept you as my King and will do everything in my power to protect you from the shadows until you're ready to step into the light. When you're ready I'll then do what I can to influence a smooth transfer of power."
"And just how are you going to do that Mr. Baldassare?" Moka asked a bit cautious of the man.
"Well I am on the vampire elder council. But long before that I swore a blood oath to the service and protection of the Junsui Throne and Bloodline." Hoyt said with a smirk.
"Hmm… Well then it truly is an honor to meet you Mr. Baldassare." Moka said courtly with a slight bow.
"Um does that mean we're in danger here?" Koji asked rubbing the back of his head nervously.
"Well... If we were to make this public then yes. But as it goes now you already have plenty of protection keeping you safe." Moka says with a sheepish grin.
"WHAT?" all three Aono's ask at once.
"Well... I'm not really supposed to say anything but you've been under my fathers personal protection ever since he started training Tsukune. He bought up four homes here and placed some of his most trusted guards from Castle Shuzen into them with orders to protect you from the shadows with their lives." Moka said with a smile.
"We have? but who? Are they vampires?" Mrs. Aono asked with a look of wonder.
"Yep both this home and Kyoko's home are protected by 12 vampires, 3 in each home. Can't tell you who sorry but did you happen to notice 4 of your neighbors moving out rather quickly with huge smiles. Those would be the homes my Father paid for at double the market value provided they move out within 2 days. Most we're out in less than 24hrs." Moka said happily.
"Ohhhh ok well I guess since we're not supposed to know about it... I guess we'll just have to give our thanks to you." Kasumi said.
"Don't suppose you'd know if they've had to deal with anyone would you?" Koji asked curious.
"Well according to the report on my fathers desk... Over the last 4 months they've caught and turned in 3 burglars and 5 vandals. Are holding a serial rapist and used their Auras to turn away a possible threat 4 times. Letting whoever may be sending them know that the area is heavily guarded." Moka said with a smirk.
"You said their holding a serial rapist? Why not turn him in?" Koji asked cocking an eyebrow.
"Ummmm how should I say this.. hmm... Why turn in free food?" Moka said poking her fingers together.
At that everyone started laughing. Then Mr. Baldassare rose to his feet, bowed while saying his good byes and left.
\/^^^^\/
Mean while across the street in the sound proofed basement...
"Please I'll do anything you want... You'll never see me again. Just please let me go… AHHHHHH" The serial rapist cried as a vampire approached him hungrily and bit into him as he hung from the basement ceiling.
"Ahhhh the vile wretch of a human thinks we should have mercy on him. How cute... Hahahaha. DID YOU HAVE ANY MERCY ON YOU'RE PREY YOU PIECE OF FILTH!" a female vampire growled.
"Hahahaha Your luck ran out when you chose the wrong girl to stalk as your next victim. You see she's under our protection and well... That made you fair game for us." the male vampire said with a sinister voice after he finished feeding on him.
"Yes, and fresh blood straight from the veins is so much better than those lifeless blood transfusion bags." the female vampire said sarcastically with a note of malice as she approached to take a bite. Pausing to add "But don't worry, we'll keep you alive as a blood bag for us for the rest of your life." Before she bit into him savagely.
Laughter and screams echoing throughout that basement as they terrorized and fed on the rapist.
