Episode 4

A New Blood of Sparda

"Mr. and Mrs. Koryuji," began the headmaster. "your daughter Luna has been called in many times to the office. Do you know why?" Luna sat between her two parents. Her mother wore a light green gown along with white fingerless gloves. Her heels were a normal shade of green as they sparkled from the sun's rays as did the diamond bracelet and the emerald pendant around her neck. Luna's father wasn't as fancy as her mother. He wore a white dress shirt with a black tie, black dress pants, and black loafers. His red coat hung over his shoulders as he sat with one leg across the other. Luna was in her dress shirt and red bow tie, red and black plaid skirt, and black mary janes. This was her school uniform, or at least the one from her sixth school. "Luna has been getting in my office many times, because she hasn't been doing her work..." the headmaster said. Mii crossed her arms. "Then we'll get her to a new school! I mean from what she's said to us, her teachers neglect her, the class president is always accusing her of vandalism when she never does anything, and she always gets detention for her hair when it's a completely normal color!"

As Luna's mother ranted, she looked at herself in the 'ruby surrounded by tiny diamonds' compact mirror she carried. She had her mother's lovely green eyes and short, 'codominated white with orange red streaks' hair. "Actually Mrs. Koryuji... according to the counselor, Luna has talked about switching schools. She wants to go to a public school. My daughter goes to one and she says its pretty good," he said as he gave about seven pamphlets of public schools. "Think of what Luna wants... have a nice day,"

In the limousine, Luna listened to her music as she looked through the pamphlets. From what she saw, there wasn't a public school that was isolated. Four of them were by private schools, one was by a cemetery, one by a mental hospital, and one by some weird military academy. Three of the schools by private ones were no good. Those three private schools were the first three she got kicked out of. The other private school was also a problem. Her cousin Orysha was class president, and she can't stand them since they're snobby rich kids. Luna immediately thought 'no' when she saw the ones by the cemetery and mental hospital. So Luna's only choice was the one by the military academy. She smiled and shrugged. After all she'd get to see the boys work out before and after school. Luna stopped her music and removed her earbuds. "Hey Mom, Dad. I found the school I wanna go to," she said showing her the pamphlet she chose. Her parents looked at it.

"Sure Luna. Why not?" her father answered with a smile. Her mother however had a displeasing look. She patted her husband's shoulder and whispered. "Dante, that school is near a military academy. You sure that's where we should send Luna?" Luna's father, called Dante whispered back "Yeah. I mean it's better than being near a cemetery, or a mental hospital. Or by her old private schools..."

"But maybe she'd be safer if she was by the private school her cousin goes to..."

"*sigh* Mii, listen. Her cousin is my brother's daughter. Luna has hated her since she was a baby, and her cousin was three,"

"And?"

"And she and her mother are bitches!"

"Dante!"

"I'm sorry, but that's the truth. Also... you and me have wanted Luna to have a boyfriend. Or girlfriend."

Luna's mother, named Mii, looked down. She sighed. "Okay... We'll send her to the school by the military academy..." Dante smiled and kissed her cheek. "She'll be fine. Don't worry, baby." Mii giggled and kissed him. Luna looked away, put her earbuds back in her ears, and played her music. The limousine stopped at a large mansion. Luna stepped out of the mansion and ran to the door, happy to be home. She ran upstairs to her room and laid on her bed. "I'm gonna love life tomorrow!" she said.

~Zeltzereich castle~

Marius Maximoff sat above the castle. He stared at the crescent moon in the sky. When the moon was full, he'd have to choose his girlfriend at a ball his father- more of his adoptive one-was planning. It felt wrong, but at least he got to choose his girlfriend instead of his father choosing one for him. "May I join you on this night?" said a voice. Marius turned around to see his father. His brown hair looked somewhat of a spike as his eyes were as yellow as Marius's. His clothes consisted of a blue tuxedo much like Marius's, a red cape, and black boots. Marius nodded. "Yes Demitri- I mean father..." he said. Demitri chuckled and sat next to him. "My boy, I can't believe you're human age is 18, and yet you still forget to call me your father."

"Well you did adopt me."

"I know... but you are considered my son in my eyes."

"Heh."

"You know you have homeschool in the morning, right?"

"Yes, and I know the sunlight protection move... but I'm still thinking about the ball."

"I see... Do not let anxiety get to you too much."

"Okay father."

"Who do you think you'll fall for?"

"...Hopefully someone who doesn't like balls as much as me. Maybe with half Darkstalker blood. In a way like me, but actually born half Darkstalker and not becoming one."

Demitri grinned. "Well now. You seem to know what you want." He stood up and floated down and went through the window, Marius following. "Maybe when you reach the human age of 21... I'll teach you the midnight bliss move." Demitri added as he smirked. Marius's face turned red, making his father laugh.

~Koryuji Mansion~

Morning came as Luna Koryuji woke up. She ran to her closet and took out some clothes. She pulled out a red dress that had black veil that went from the chest area to around the neck, black boots with red heels, a black jacket, and a gold and ruby heart necklace her father gave her. After getting dressed, she went downstairs and sat in the dining room. "Oh right, they're asleep," she told herself as she ran into the kitchen to make some toast. "Need any help Luna?" Asked a voice. Luna turned around to see Mii in a satin gold bathrobe.

"Mom! I thought you were asleep..."

"Couldn't sleep well... I was thinking about you..."

"Oh great... what did I do now?"

"Nothing, it's just... about the school you chose..."

"Don't worry Mommy... I'll be fine," Luna smiled.

"I mean... we don't even know what kind of military is close to that place..."

Luna hugged her mother. "Well no matter what, I'm sure it's gonna protect the pther school."

"I don't know... it seems dangerous..."

"If anything happens, I'll call Kogoro, you, and Dad,"

Luna put a slice of bread in the toaster and set the timer for a minute. She hated burnt toast. Mii stood there, worrying. "...Luna are you sure you don't want to go with your cousi-" Luna turned around and crossed her arms. "That bitch does not give a damn about you, me, or Dad," she told her, angry.

"Luna! You shouldn't say words like that! And that's no way to treat family!"

"Dad does that to uncle Virgil,"

"But... you're still young!"

"I'm 16. And I know you don't like your busty succubus sister in-law..."

"...I don't dislike her... we just don't get along well,"

"Look I'll be fine..."

"But Lun-"

"Mom... I'll be okay. Trust me. I'm half of Dad,"

"...Alright..."

Luna hugged Mii and smiled. "I love you," she told her. Mii smilled back. "...I love you too," Luna looked at the clock and grabbed her toast, which popped out of the toaster. "I better go before the bus comes," she told her mother before leaving and after hugging her once again.

Luna bopped her head to her rock and roll jams as she waited for the bus. She finished off her toast and started singing to the the song. Though it was just her muttering the words. She paused her music when she felt a presence. "Hello... Luna," the voice said. Luna looked to the side to see a girl with long white hair, one bang covering her eye, which had pale green highlights. Her eyes were ice blue unlike hers, but it looked like eyes that could kill, while Luna's green eyes were sweet. The girl wore a blue blazer over her white dress short. A light blue skirt was above her blue leggings. Not stockings, not pantyhose- leggings. Her black boots had blue soles under them, along with a blue jewel being held on by a light blue ribbon. One other feature is the small, black and blue bat-like wings on her head. Luna knew those were real, and not for show. "Hey... Orysha," Luna muttered.

"I heard you got kicked out of another private school,"

"I heard you're still class president of one,"

"How's your ginger of a mother?"

"How's your hooker of one?"

"I'm surprised your father is still alive after all these years... MY father should have killed him by now,"

Luna summoned a silver pistol and aimed it at Orysha's throat. "Don't you dare speak of my dad that way..." she growled. Orysha stood there with no emotion, then chuckled. "Still playing with your toys? You should let go of that thing one of these days... If you had a blade like me," Orysha summomed up what looked like a katana with black bat wings engraved on the sides of the handle and held it to Luna's stomach. "You should know to never bring a gun to a blade fight..!" Luna's eyes widened at the fact the blade was pointed at her stomach. The two put their weapons away as a bus was heard coming. It was going to the school Luna was heading to. She smirked. "Well guess what? My new school is a public one. Not to mention by a military academy, where there are cute boys. So..." Luna got on the bus and waved goodbye, while saying: "Buh-bye, bitch!" Luna got on and sat down, making Orysha angry as she continued waving. The girl in red put her earbuds back on and listened to her music.

After an hour long bus drive, Luna got off. "Still an hour till homeroom. Sweet timing!" she said, as she went to peak in at the military academy. She saw a boy doing some push-ups, shirtless. His hair was brown and his highlights were blonde. Luna couldn't see well, but she noticed one of his eyes was closed and an eyepatch was under his hand as he did his exercises. "Aren't the military boys strong?" asked an unfamiliar voice, causing Luna to jump. She turned to see a girl with brown hair tied in a long braid and with green eyes. Her scarf was purple and her dress was long, flowing, and white. Her mismatched outfit was completed when Luna noticed the brown strap sandals. "You scared me!" Luna told the girl.

"Sorry... I couldn't help but notice you stared at the boys,"

"Well... technically just one boy..."

"Oh? Did he have brown hair and blonde highlights?"

"Yeah why?"

"That's Cameron 'Valentine' Redfield. He's been coming to the school for when we have drills,"

"Cameron..."

"Uhh... I'm Tenshijuna. Nice to meet you!"

"Huh? Oh um... I'm Luna. Luna Koryuji,"

"Oh wow! You're a Koryuji?! I thought you guys just go to the best private schools in the world..."

"Well I got kicked out..."

"Tenshijuna," called a male voice. The girls turned around to see a blonde boy. He wore a white, short sleeved dress shirt, along with a light green scarf around his neck. His hair was blonde and his eyes were blue. His dress pants were also light green, along with brown loafers. "Oh. That's my brother, Nathaniel. He goes with me. He's in the upper class rooms cause that's high school. I'm at the bottom because I'm in middle school. What about you?" Tenshijuna asked Luna. "I'm high school," she told her.

"Oh. Well at least I made a friend- oh I mean new friend..."

"You don't have any friends..?"

"Well no... all because everyone is scared of my brother..."

"Oh. Well I'm brave. I'll be your friend,"

"You will? Oh thank you, Luna!"

Tenshijuna waved goodbye and ran to her brother, the two walking in the classroom as Luna followed them, then just Nathaniel. Outside, a boy with brown hair tied in a braid, wearing dark green Asian clothes crossed his arms. "Do not worry mother," he told himself "I will avenge you. Strider Hiryu took you away, and now I will take away someone of his..."
