Chapter One: The Vampire

Sixteen year old Tsukune Aono walked up to the school he was attending, stopping at the gate, lost in his own thoughts.

Tsukune was wearing the uniform of the school, which consisted of a green coat with a red tie, khaki brown pants, brown semi-formal shoes, and a white shirt underneath. Tsukune's hair was brown and was a mix of spiky and smooth, the upper parts being more on the spiky side and the lower areas, including the bangs, being more on the smooth side. His eyes were brown and seemed dull and glazed over at this particular moment. It wasn't that he was dumb, it was more that he was uninterested. His thoughts kept his focus on other things anyway.

"Man, this is gonna be horrible. I'm sixteen with no girlfriend. Mom always said I was her special boy, but what does that matter if I don't have a girlfriend? I got no skills or interests of any kind. I'm just a guy who sucks at everything. Every day is just as dreary as the previous one…"

However, his depressing train of thought was halted as he saw a girl collapsed on the ground just inside the gate.

"Except today!" he thought, looking over the girl to determine why she could have been passed out.

"Holy crap!" He stopped, confused and slightly panicked. There's a girl on the ground!"

The girl was dressed in a similar outfit to him minus the obvious gender differences. She wore a green female's coat with plaid colored skirt that went almost a third of the way down her legs, giving Tsukune an unintentional view. She wore black socks that had a small golden bat at the top, which was all the way up to her knees almost. She wore brown shoes similar to Tsukune's. Her skin was a pale, yet milky color, beautiful to gaze upon. Around her neck was a black choker with a small chain connected to a silver colored rosary. She had pink hair that extended in smooth, beautiful strands down past the end of her skirt, almost to her knees. It was a few shades off from bubblegum and had the softest look to it. Her eyes, had they been open, were a sparkling shade of emerald green that made the gem of the same name look dull in comparison. Her lips wore a gentle lipstick that highlighted their beauty.

"Why…" He started to say, another thought occurring. "Isn't that…"

"The girl of my dreams" was what he wanted to say. "Moka Akashiya" the words came out as a soft breath from Tsukune's mouth as he wondered if it would be the starting point of a bizarre school life of his own.

"Oh my god, she's so cute! No wonder she's the school idol… she's sparkling even." Tsukune thought before an obvious thought hit him. "I should probably call for help though."

But as Tsukune turned around to go get help, a soft pair of arms wrapped around him and a soft beautiful voice of an angel spoke to him, which both scared the hell out of him and made him feel really warm and fuzzy.

"Such a sweet smell." Came the voice Tsukune knew as Moka's. "Say, aren't you Tsukune? From the class next door?"

"Y-you're awake?!" Tsukune shouted, shocked. "Are you alright?! Wait… how do you know my name?!"

"I want your blood." Moka said, her tone still very pleasant. "I… I can't take it anymore."

"Oh my god, this is amazing…" Tsukune said, not having processed exactly what Moka had said. My beloved Moka is so close to me. I have to be dreaming!"

"Keep this a secret from everyone." Moka whispered in his ear, Tsukune actually catching this. "Because I am…"

"Am what?"

"A vampire." Moka whispered, biting Tsukune's neck. Tsukune felt her nip open his skin with her teeth and he could feel her suck the blood out of his body, his strength beginning to leave him.

"Holy crap! She actually sucked my blood!?"

"Thanks for the meal." Moka gave a smile and a slight giggle, showing off a fang on the left side of her mouth, a similar one probably in the right side. "I… I really am a vampire."

"W-wait" Tsukune said, thinking. "You mean like the kind that's afraid of rosaries, garlic, people breathing, and also suck blood?"

"Yep, that's me." Moka giggled. "I was suffering from anemia because I haven't had any blood recently… and so I fainted."

"No way." Tsukune said nervously with a chuckle. "You're just a normal girl no matter how you look at it."

"Well" Moka parted her shirt slightly to show her rosary better (at which point Tsukune was oblivious to the fact her cleavage was shown slightly), her face slowly going from smile to frown. "That's because of this rosary, which helps keep me under control. I look human because my power is sealed away. By the way, if it is removed, I become a scary vampire who is really violent and evil."

At this Moka began making motions supposed to embody the scariness of the vampire she was supposed to become. Of course, since Moka herself looked more cute than scary, that is what the vampire imitation became.

"What?!" Tsukune thought. "How am I supposed to believe her, especially in this messed up age of science?!"

"But, this is just a secret between you and me." Moka said, smiling again. "I can trust you, right, Tsukune?"

Tsukune found himself at a loss for words here.

"Do you" Moka asked, the look on her face somewhere between innocently flirty and purely innocent and trusting. "believe me?"

"She's too cute." Tsukune's mind spoke as his mouth allowed him to speak something else. "I believe you, Moka! Of course I believe you!"

"R-really?!" Moka's face lit up with a smile unlike the previous ones, this one revealing almost childlike happiness and trust.

"Oh god, I can't tell her I don't believe her now!" Tsukune gulped.

Moka looked hesitant for a second, putting her hands behind her back and leaned towards Tsukune, sniffing.

"Such a gentle scent." She said, smiling. "You're such a nice person, Tsukune."

Tsukune was too shocked that Moka was that close to him to voice his confusion on the subject. Before he could find his voice, however, Moka ran off, looking back with a wave and a 'Later!'.

After school—the library

"Let's see…" Tsukune said, looking through the "Supernatural" section. "V… Va… Vampire! Got it."

Tsukune sat down, opening his find, turning a few pages in.

"Vampires subsist by feeding on the blood of humans." He read quietly. "'They may look human, but that serves as a mimesis to assist them in mingling into human society. Their bodies are far stronger than a human's and their features are beautified as a way to distinguish them from their 'prey'.' Oh crap, what did I get myself into?"

Below that, Tsukune saw the scribbles of some words mentioning something about stone masks, though this was clearly added by some student, probably one who had little better to do than keep referencing their favorite show.

"Moka Akashiya…" Tsukune's thoughts turned to the beautiful girl. "Her beauty is on a supernatural level… so far beyond reach she has trouble making friends… even in that chaos, she's usually by herself. It was actually what drew me to her in the first place… but was that… because she was a vampire?!"

"On second thought" Tsukune said as he walked into the school gate the next morning, chuckling. "There's no way vampires are real. Moka must have been dreaming."

"Or" A different conclusion entered his head. "everything that happened yesterday was a dream. There's no way Moka would talk to a boring person like me."

"There's Moka!" came several shouts around him as students started to crowd. "She's so damn cute!"

Tsukune turned to see Moka walking into the school area, not even noticing him. Praises came up from the students, everything from her hair and eyes to her body and step as well as mentions that she was way out of their leagues.

"I guess it's true." Tsukune thought to himself. "My place to admire her is from back here."

It was at that point that Moka looked in his direction, her average expression turning to a big smile.

"Tsukune!" She said, waving. "Morning!"

"She's singling me out by name?!" Tsukune thought, several emotions coursing through his mind, the primary ones fear and excitement.

"Who the hell is that guy?!" Some people from the crowd exclaimed. "He's got no right with her! Why'd she greet him?!"

"I'm so dead." Tsukune thought, gulping, his fear emotion pushing to the near forefront. "At least it wasn't a dream though. We're really getting along."

"Moka Akashiya" came a deep voice from a car that pulled up. "Why are you talking to a guy like him so early in the morning?"

The one that stepped out of the back of the car, his door opened by a man in a suit and sunglasses similar to a secret service agent, was a very handsome man, though, in comparison, he still was nowhere near Moka in terms of beauty, even on a male perspective. He wore the school uniform similar to Tsukune, but for him it seemed… better. He wore rings on several on his fingers, all of them expensive looking. His hair was wavy and orange, a striking shade. His eyes were a handsome blue.

"Hey there!" He called to Moka. "Have you given thought about a reply to the letter I sent you? Be my woman, Moka Akashiya!"

"The student council president!?" Tsukune said, realizing how badly this was going to turn out (at least in his own mind). This guy was a huge prick, very, very accustomed to getting his way.

Everyone was yelling different things about the student council president now, from things like "he always does this! He always goes for Moka!" to "He only thinks he can get away with this because his father is the headmaster! Hell, that's the only reason he's even here!"

Moka thought back to the letter, which read 'I can't get you out of my head. From the student council president' with a little heart next to the word 'head'.

"Uuuhh…" Moka said, not having given it much thought at all in actuality. Though she already knew her answer.

"I'm the kind of man who'll do anything to get his hands on beautiful things." The president said, basically bragging as he proved his point by putting an arm around Moka, which drifted towards her ass, pretty much grabbing it. "Only a woman of beauty can compare to the wealth and power I have. Be my woman, Moka Akashiya."

At this, Tsukune felt a small twinge of anger. It wasn't even because Moka was being taken from him. It was because he was touching her in a way that clearly made her uncomfortable.

"I'm sorry." Moka said, pushing him off of her with a decent show of a little strength, which shocked the president. "This is a nuisance. I am way to not wanting that to be bothered with someone who acts like you."

And with that, Moka took Tsukune's hand and walked into the school, dragging him slightly in her attempt to leave.

When the two of them were gone, the president was still standing there, still dumbfounded, not only at Moka's rejection, but also at her taking someone like Tsukune. The class began to ridicule him again, mocking him for once again being rejected by Moka.

"You." He said to the man who'd driven him there. "Kill everyone here."

The shock on the students' faces was genuine.

"How dare these nobodies laugh at someone of my stature?" The president asked no one in particular. "You realize I can have my old man expel every last one of you? Know your place!"

With that he left, the word 'die' being heard as the suited man cracked his knuckles and neck, the students apologizing profusely as he began mercilessly beat them all into pulps.

"Curse you Moka Akashiya! I will get my hands on you, my prey! You are MINE!"

With Moka and Tsukune

"The president… gives off an unpleasant 'scent'." Moka said as she and Tsukune sat on the steps leading to an outer area of the school.

"Scent?"

"Yeah. I can tell what kind of person is by the 'scent' they give off." Moka explained. "Apparently, one of our abilities is distinguishing someone by their 'scent'. I can't stand the president's 'scent'."

"Weird" Tsukune thought. "Moka is kinda weird."

"To be honest" Moka snapped Tsukune's attention back to her. "I don't really like school either because of this ability. The school is so full of different scents… it somehow makes me lonely… because I'm always alone… Also, some people smell weird."

"Well, what about me?" Tsukune said, a little quicker than he would have liked.

"Eh?" Moka asked, confused and surprised.

"Well, I'm here next to you." Tsukune explained himself. "So… you're not alone, right?"

"Tsukune…" Moka said, Tsukune's heart beating faster, Moka's as well, but less noticeable to her.

"Hey" Moka said, her tone shifting. "Let me suck your blood."

"Eh?!" Tsukune exclaimed, the sudden shift nailing him. "That again?!"

"Sorry." Moka said, clasping her hands together. "I just got excited all of a sudden and the cravings just come."

"I have got to change the subject to something besides vampires." Tsukune thought as his mouth said 'okay'. "I still can't convince myself to believe her."

"Tsukune." Moka said, leaning in close to Tsukune. "You are definitely the kind of person I thought you'd be. You're so kind and warm."

Before Tsukune could reply, Moka latched onto his neck, slurping the blood from it, causing Tsukune to let out a yelp of pain.

Over the days, they grew closer and Tsukune learned more of Moka's mannerisms, such as her dislike of garlic, her pet bat that she claimed was completely harmless (to which Tsukune had to admit it was kinda cute), and her like of tomato juice as a tiny substitute to human blood (though, it was more of a 'tide-me-over').

Though, Moka did still suck his blood.

However, at one point, they didn't know they were being observed.

"She's kissing his neck?!" The president watched them through binoculars. "Arggh, that Moka Akashiya! I'll never forgive her! Or him, but I suppose I don't have to forgive a dead man…"

A few days later

It was a bright sunny day and the P.E. class was out, the girls playing tennis and the guys playing softball. It was all going fine until the softball was hit out towards where Moka was standing. Tsukune, who was playing on the field, called to Moka to toss it back

"I've got it." She said, picking up the ball and throwing it (well, slipping and throwing it off) into a window, which promptly shattered.

"Oh crap, I'm so sorry!" Moka shouted, running away from the window to enter the school to get the ball, Tsukune on her heels to follow her.

"Huh." One student said. "Has she gotten the klutziness from that Tsukune dumbass?"

"Probably." Another said. "She used to be colder too… lucky bastard."

"Who broke this window!?" came the yell from behind the players. The students panicked to see the large, muscly form of the toughest most violent teacher in the school: 'Smile' Higuma.

"You guys are real daredevils." He said, holding a bamboo sword used in sword fighting. The students fearfully tried to explain who actually broke the window as Higuma began to beat the ever loving shit out of them.

From where she and Tsukune had ended up by the time this went down, Moka turned to watch.

"Oh no, it's all my fault!" She exclaimed, trying to go back and explain everything, Tsukune pulling her back with all of his strength. "I was the one that did that!"

"It's too late!" Tsukune shouted, his grip beginning to slack slightly. "You can't go back!"

"I shouldn't have thrown that ball." Moka said softly, sadly, dropping to the ground and slumping over. "I'm… I'm a vampire, but I'm terrible at sports… because the rosary sealed away my strength and I can't move properly."

"She's talking about that again." Tsukune internally sighed. "Now, she's even blaming her poor athletic ability on it."

"Tsukune." Moka said, pleading with Tsukune almost. "If this rosary is taken off, I will become a rampaging vampire… when that happens…save me, okay?"

"Wait a minute, Moka." Tsukune said with a little urgency of priorities. "Now's not the time to be talking about this. You just broke a window!"

At this, Moka's face took on a small look of shock, partially that she realized her predicament and partially because of Tsukune's words themselves.

"S-sorry." She said, getting a little nervous at this point. "You never complain and keep all of my secrets for me so…"

"No!" Tsukune tried to dispel any air of negativity between them. "I just… I just…"

"Sorry." Moka said, fingering her rosary. "I'm weird, aren't I? Sorry for always depending on you. It's just… I've never had a friend that I can tell everything about me."

Tsukune's eyes looked sad for what he was contemplating saying to her, to his friend.

"But, you believe it all and accept me for who I am, right?" Moka asked, a sad smile on her face. "I'm so happy that you do. And every day is so fun…"

"I'm sorry." She added with a small giggle.

Tsukune clenched his eyes shut, trying to work up the determination to tell Moka what he was trying to tell her.

"No, Moka, that's not it! That's not what I mean!" He finally said, working up the courage, no the guts as he began to vent. "I want to be friends with you! But, all you talk about is vampires! It's getting on my nerves and besides, they aren't even real!"

Moka's face took on a shocked and hurt expression, her being pretty much able to stare at him in her shock.

"Crap!" Tsukune thought, seeing her expression and realizing the full scope of what he'd just said.

"N-no way." Moka said, looking down. "That's mean…"

"Then, what do you want me to do?" Tsukune asked, beginning to vent slightly. "You're always just doing whatever you want. Do you even care about how I feel?"

"That's not how friends are supposed to be!" He shouted, gaining a slippery momentum as he clenched his eyes shut to avoid looking at her face. "It doesn't even have to be me! It can be anyone, right?!"

"That…" Moka said, tears streaming down her face, her expression one of pure sadness. "That's not…"

It was at that point that Tsukune realized that he had made a grave mistake. Moka got up and ran off, crying and leaving Tsukune to his own thoughts.

"Damn it!" he thought, punching his baseball glove and throwing it at the wall. The bell rang and he went inside the school building.

"Shit! I'm such a loser. I just had to do that!" he thought with his head in his hands on his desk in his class. "I'm the one who's a failure of a friend. I actually made her cry… I bet she's hurt really bad. This was never meant to happen."

His thoughts we interrupted, however by the hulking form of Higuma bursting in through the door.

"HEY!" he bellowed. "Tsukune Aono in here?!"

"H-Higuma, sir?!" Tsukune exclaimed.

"I heard that you were the one who broke the glass this morning." He said, a sneer on his face as he looked at Tsukune. "Come with me for a bit."

Tsukune gulped, sure his life was effectively over as he followed Higuma to the music room.

"Where is this?" He asked, confused.

"Get in there!" Higuma shouted, shoving him inside. Tsukune's face showed shock and horror at the sight inside.

Inside the room, Tsukune saw the student council president standing in the middle of the room, other members of the student council inside as well, one of them with his arms around Moka, groping her.

"T-Tsukune?!" Moka exclaimed, her tone one of hope and worry.

"Nice of you to join us, Tsukune Aono." The president said, chuckling. "You're a filthy insect who swarms around my Moka and it's time to exterminate you."

"Moka?! President?! What's going on?!" Tsukune asked, turning to Higuma. "Didn't you call me here because of the broken window?"

At that, Higuma struck Tsukune with the same blade he had used earlier on the other students. Tsukune crumpled to the ground under the force, not unconscious.

"Actually, Higuma is working as my bodyguard under my old man's orders." The president laughed. "And you're the idiot who walked in here without a clue!"

"Th-that's messed up." Tsukune gasped, wiping the blood off of his mouth, determination in his voice as he looked towards Moka, feeling something strange within him. "What are you doing with Moka!? Let her go!"

"Moka belongs to me." The president said, snapping his fingers. "I'll kill anyone who goes near her."

With that snap, Higuma began to beat on Tsukune further. After he felt Higuma had done a suitable job, the president put his foot on Tsukune's forehead, pressing down with force.

"Serves you right!" He shouted, a wicked grin on his face. "This is what happens to all you creeps who go near Moka!"

"How about that, Moka?!" He continued grinding his foot down on Tsukune's head. "Swear that your body and soul belong to me or this guy's dead!"

"St…" Moka began, tears emerging in her eyes.

"Swear it Moka!" the president said, an insane grin on his face, stomping on Tsukune repeatedly. "Swear, swear, swear, swear!"

"Stop it!" Moka shouted, jumping onto Tsukune to shield him from the president's attacks. "I'll do what you want, so stop!"

The president smirked as Moka leaned down to Tsukune, looking him over.

"Tsukune, I'm so sorry." She said, tears falling onto Tsukune. "It's all my fault… hang in there! I'm sorry… really I am only thinking about myself and you're the one who has to suffer because of it. I had no idea until you told me. I'm sorry, Tsukune… forgive me."

"But" She continued, sighing. "It couldn't have just been anyone. I… I've always been curious about you. You were so kind to the people around you. Also, your 'scent' was so much more gentle than anyone else's."

"I'm glad we got to be friends." She said, stroking his face. "I mean, I always felt so warm when I was around you. It… was the first time I'd ever felt like that."

"Enough talking!" the president shouted, grabbing Moka by her hair and yanking her up, causing her to scream in pain.

This scream managed to bring Tsukune back to the world of the conscious and give him the adrenaline rush he needed to grab the president's wrist, shocking both the president and Moka. There was an odd look in his eyes that Moka noticed, a small worry creeping up in the back of her mind.

"Y-you're still…" The president began, still in shock.

"Moka…" Tsukune said, panting. "I'm the one who should be apologizing."

"I thought about it too much!" He said, leaning down and throwing the president with all of his strength. "It doesn't matter to me who you are. It never did!"

Tsukune then moved closer to Moka, taking a gentle hold of her rosary.

"Even if you are a vampire" Tsukune said powerfully, pulling it off with a swift motion. "I still like you!"

Moka only had time to gasp before a bright light surrounded her, blinding everyone in the room.

"What the hell is this?!" The president exclaimed.

Moka gave a short yell as power flowed out from her body, putting her arms above her head and transforming further. When the light faded, she stood there, but there was quite a difference to her.

"Moka…" The president said, looking at her. "No… that's not Moka… what the fuck is that?!"

Moka's hair had turned a blazing silver color and lengthened slightly. Her eyes turned a blood red color and gained pupils like a cat's… or a vampire's. Her nails had lengthened as well. Out of her mouth poked two much more prominent fangs, these almost reaching her chin. Her lipstick was also darker, more of a bloody ruby color.

Moka, or the vampire that she had become, punctured Higuma in the chest so hard it not only elevated him, a pulse of force shot out behind him from where she'd impaled him. She then threw his lifeless body on the floor, licking the blood from her fingers, her dark gaze fixed on the president.

"President." She said in a deeper, more cruel-sounding voice. "You do want me, don't you?"

"Wh-who the fuck are you?!" he exclaimed, rushing at Moka with a knife. "You're dead!"

The Vampire responded by giving him a swift and very powerful kick to the face, sending him flying into the desks behind him and nearly through the wall.

"Don't get cocky, feeble human." She said, with an evil smile. "Know your place."

The other students minus Tsukune all ran out terrified of the powerful vampire.

"It's true." Tsukune thought. "It's all true. This is… a vampire!"

The Vampire laughed evilly, picking up the president's body, no effort exerted, licking her lips as the life force drained from him, leaving him as a feeble old man.

"Moka, stop!" Tsukune said, more worried that the Vampire that was formerly the Moka he knew was killing than for the president's life. "What are you doing?!"

"Don't worry, Tsukune." The Vampire, Moka, said, laughing. "All I did was take a little of his 'life energy'. He'll be back to normal in a few days."

"If this rosary is ever taken off of me" Moka's words came back to Tsukune. "Save me, okay?"

"That's enough, Moka.' Tsukune said with determination. "Turn back now."

"Turn back?" the Vampire said, chuckling, which turned into a full blown laugh. "Don't get the wrong idea! I am the real Moka Akashiya! I have no intention of turning back!"

"What?!" Tsukune exclaimed.

"The Moka you know is a fake personality created when my powers were sealed!" the Vampire Moka said, snarling slightly. "In other words, she's an incompetent shell of me! Hell, her name really isn't Moka! Because of this damn seal, I can't tap into most of my otherworldly powers!"

"What?!" Tsukune asked.

"I was given this rosary seal by my parents." Vampire Moka explained, walking closer to Tsukune. "They sealed my powers so I could integrate better into human society. And, you were the one who released me! I'm finally free!"

Tsukune, shocked, simply wrapped his arms around her, holding on tight.

"That's a lie!" He shouted. "No, she isn't a shell! Moka is far from just a shell!"

Vampire Moka was stunned, Tsukune's words resonating with her.

"Tsukune, what are you—?!" She began. "Let go!"

"Moka is Moka!" He shouted. "Turn back! At this rate, you'll go back to being alone! Turn back!"

Vampire Moka's expression turned to one of worry, worry what he'd said would be true.

"Trust me." Tsukune said. "It'll be alright. I'll never let you feel alone again."

Vampire Moka just looked forward as Tsukune clenched his eyes shut. She smiled slightly, a tear flowing down her face.

Tsukune held her tight until a voice broke his hold.

"Tsu-Tsukune, you're hurting me." Came the voice of Moka. Tsukune quickly looked at her to see her touching the rosary and smiling at him.

"Moka…" Tsukune said, the two of them embracing once again.

Rumors of the day quickly spread throughout the school. Though, since the president couldn't recall the events of the day, they remained rumors. They were still shrouded in mystery, even as students discussed how scary Moka was when angry. If there was one thing able to be said had changed, it would be that Moka got more friends. Before they could even realize, her solitary attitude vanished. Tsukune's dreary days changed as well. He had an exceptionally cute vampire who could be very scary smiling by his side.

"Tsukune, let me suck your blooood~!" Oh, and she sucked his blood. She did that too.

Unbeknownst to the two, however, someone was watching them. Her tail swished from behind her as she gave an evil smirk.

"I'll bring you down, Moka Akashiya." She said. "Mark my words."

So, I decided I want to write a little more Rosario Vampire (been reading it again), but my other fic, Blood of the Vampire, just isn't going in a direction I want it to. Before I get that one going again, I figured I would get some ideas that wouldn't work for it out in this one. If you've read one, yes, this is pretty much the same chapter (which was still just a near accurate description of the prototype chapter for Rosario Vampire). This story is in the same vein, based in the human world, rather than the monster world. I love the idea for it, but some of my ideas won't work, so I'm writing this one. I hope you enjoy this story.
