Prelude to the End Chapter 31: What you know, a rosario + vampire fanfic

Michael was struggling with both the Great Darkness and his own self, the area around the trio was either scorched or burning. The Great Darkness locked both of his blades with Michael's laughing maniacally. "WHY CONTINUE TO RESIST? YOU KNOW THE OUTCOME OF MY RETURN IS INEVITABLE, JUST GIVE IN! LET ALL LIFE BURN AROUND YOU! THERE IS NO STOPPING THE END." Michael broke the weapon lock then immediately swinging his sword striking the Great Darkness's weapons throwing him back from the force of the strike.

Michael's inner demon locked blades with him this time, glaring at him trying to break through Michael's defenses. "Why do you continue to struggle, the cycle of death will repeat for us, when will it end?! Do you think those lesser beings will prevent something that they have yet to Grasp?!"

Michael threw his inner demon away from him, leaving both the Great Darkness and his inner demon to form up."They're not meant to prevent it, only to survive it!" Michael shouted at them, however the answer only brought them to a mocking laugh.

"YOU'RE A FOOL MICHAEL WHO ARE YOU TRYING TO CONVINCE, ME OR YOURSELF?!" The Great Darkness asked trying to play Michael as a fool.

Ganet tilted her head hearing that from Kasano, while Kasano sat on the ground in mere shock seeing his Mother, the memories he had of her were mere blurred images. "Mom? Listen I don't know what's going on but I haven't given birth to a child yet.. So you must've gotten me confused with someone you- wait..." Ganet kneeled down leaning towards Kasano's face looking into his eyes, she moved her right palm on Kasano's face her thumb under his right eye and her index above his right eyebrow.

Ganet closed her eyes reading him through a forced type of Telepathy, Kasano immediately realized what she was trying to do, his mind wanted to close her out, but he immediately let her do what needed to be done. Ganet was putting the pieces together scanning his memory and genetic code, with in seconds she found her line. Seeing the truth Ganet immediately pulled away her right hand shaking, with her mind trying to comprehend how her son could be here when he wasn't born yet.

"This is impossible..." Ganet said with a heavy voice, seeing Kasano her own unborn child right before her eyes, an adult.

"I know this is hard to think about but-" "Why aren't you a girl?!" Ganet yelled at Kasano causing his facial expression to freeze up for a split second.

…...

"WHAT!? That's all you have to say?!" Kasano yelled back at Ganet, as she pushed her short light brown hair behind her ears. "I was getting a whole room set up for a girl! Not a boy!" Ganet complained, while Kasano stood there dumbstruck that his Mother would just assume that. While Kasano and Ganet were seen arguing Luise laid on the grass knocked out cold from the even that took place at the temple.

Several Hours later Kasano and the still unconscious Luise who was set in front of a fan, as she rested almost peacefully. Kasano and Ganet got to know each other from the few hours, though Kasano did inform her that in his timeline, she died when he was to young to remember anything about her.

Kasano was sitting on the ground looking at the Herbal tea which was placed on a good sized small in height table in quiet. Luise was fast asleep lightly snoring from their adventure. Ganet Hirotushi sat in front of him on the opposite side of the table, drinking her tea.

"Kasano, you hardly touched your tea..." Ganet stated seeing Kasano being quiet, as he always wanted to ask his Mother the questions he never got to ask her.

"sorry..." Kasano took another drink from his cup, around him in the room was many war trophies from her days as a Warlord, Kasano was impressed that his mother had quite the reputation... though even with her success, death eventually got her. "There's so many questions I have for you..." Kasano asked Ganet, she sipped her tea basking in the flavor from the Herbal tea.

"And I'll answer them as much as I can..." Ganet replied to her son, keeping a calm head.

"To tell you the truth I'm scared of the answers I'll get... I thought about them all of what I could ask you..." Kasano played the scenarios in his head truthfully he hoped they were all painless.

Ganet moved over to her son, grabbing his hands and giving them a comforting squeeze. "Okay... I need to know, it's been bothering me my whole life... who's my real father?" Kasano said with a voice of confidence.

Ganet looked at him, biting her lower lip, she let go of Kasano's hands standing up and moving to her sliding door looking outside at the sunset. "Kasano are you certain you want to know?" She asked her son not knowing what he'd do with this information on hand.

"Please... I need to know if he's dead or still alive, I need to bury this so I can move on... but what I unlocked before meeting you... what I did. It just raises a whole line of questions... and I know the Hiratushi line doesn't have a drop of Elder Dragons in our blood."

"…. No we don't... Kasano—I... I want you to know that what ever happens you won't take this information in a bad way.. okay here it goes... I'm surprised you haven't found out yet, you are a spitting image of him... I just don't know why he'd never told you... Kasano your father is... Michael Alritzon." The moment Kasano heard the first and family name, his heart stopped his eyes slowly widened and he stumbled back.

His mind a wreck and unbalanced, Kasano stood in silence, he then looked down at the floor sad from hearing this information... when the truth has been right in front of him this whole time... Why would Michael keep that information from him? That question began to eat away his mind, he knew Michael practically raised him and trained him to be a warrior... but why keep that kind of information from your own son? What was it? Shame, anger, grief, hate?

Nothing Michael did, he do with out reason, he always had a plan. Maybe that knowledge was part of it... though now he knows, now comes the imminent confrontation with Michael.

"I see..." Kasano answered with a semi emotionless tone in his voice. "Kasano... When you see him again, try not to be angry with him... Michael has been through a lot and lost loved ones..." Ganet tried to console her son seeing him still shocked from the news .

"Mom I know all about what M—Father has been through... he died in my timeline, murdered by his own compatriots in the Guardian Council... They took him away from us! His own students, I vowed on that day I have Justice and then Vengeance... now that he's back from the dead, can I rest my heart at ease no... it still hurt having a father figure taken away like that from us... I still want to make those who did that suffer, this hatred inside will now be quelled from words alone." Ganet frowned seeing Kasano had the same look in Michael's eyes, she went over to embrace her son, holding him tight as she brought his head down to her shoulder...

Luise began to stir in her sleep, she lazily got up stretching her arms yawning, she smacked the lips of her lips together and tongue having an after taste from sleeping with her mouth open, she turned to see Kasano in the arms of another woman... her eyes widened as her tail appeared all frizzled up, she got up tackling the two causing both Kasano and Ganet to lose concentration of what just happened.

"Don't you touch my Man!" Luise shrieked as she was now on Ganet tossing Kasano over the table.

"Kasano so she's just a friend?" Ganet asked seemingly teasing her son, after her mother asked who the girl was earlier.

"It's complicated! Luise, please don't attack my mother!" Luise stopped trying to strangle Ganet.

"M-mother?..." Luise looked at Ganet with regretful eyes. "That's right dear... now can you please remove your hands from my throat?" Ganet asked Luise, which she did... though then she gleefully hugged Ganet shouting "Ma Ma!" Kasano's jaw nearly fell off his face from the insanity of the situation he was in. "It's so good to finally meet the Mother of my husband!" Luise said to Ganet.

Husband?!

"You two are married?" Ganet asked seeing that her son could've been keeping that kind of information away from her.

"Oh yes when we first met, Kasano was a beast, as he took me and made me his and said to me... (I want you to bear my children)" Luise retold her well thought out story.

"I did no such thing!" Kasano Yelled at Luise pointing a finger at her, while Luise continued with the dramatics and story that never took place.

"He was so rough during our first time, I begged him to stop but he wouldn't give! So I succumbed to be his devoted wife... us and our 23 children, and twins on the way.." Luise finished fake crying in Ganet's chest.

"What are you talking about?!" Kasano said still in shock o the lie she was feeding him and his mother.

"Tell her Kasano of how the day we met, that you stole my virginity and forced me to do your bidding, from that day forth I became the person who I am today... Your ever devoted Wife!" Luise tackled Kasano giggling as she rubbed her head against his chest.

Luise poked Kasano several times in the ribs. "Why didn't you tell me about her, back in the real world?!" Luise demanded, that Kasano give her a reason.

Remembering that there was a reason he didn't talk to him his face went blank "Because she's dead back in the real world..." Kasano stated, seeing as he was feeling the affect of seeing his Mother here in this time line. Luise began to whimper before crying tears of sadness, seeing as she would never get to meet the real her.

"I'm sorry!" Luise cried in to Kasano's chest, leaving him to rub her back. "It's alright I learned to deal with it." Kasano said with a calm tone in his voice with a slight smile.

Michael was fighting both his inner Demon and the Great Darkness, trying to balance out his main enemy and his weakness. Michael then sensed Kasano was no longer in the area he was designated to be, Michael's eyes widened seeing he got out and slipped in to another one. Fear filled Michael's face as he brought his sword down to the ground causing a 10.9 Earth Quake throwing the two opponents up in the air. Michael Ended the Mock duel between the two, dismissing the Meditation dimension he was in and returning back to the original landing of the timed Dimension.

Michael located where Kasano's signature energy force was located and began to dismantle that time zone a part returning him and Luise to his location. Meanwhile with Kasano the area froze, and began to bleed white Luise grabbed a hold of Kasano seeing the area was literally turning white. Both Kasano and Luise were thrown out of the timeline and sent tumbling back at the starting point, with Michael presiding over them.

Michael looked at Kasano, with inquisitive eyes. "Kasano you weren't supposed to leave, that realm, you were given a task to acquire the ancient knowledge there." Michael said to Kasano with a condescending tone.

Kasano got up from the ground dusting himself off, while Luise quickly got up with her cat like reflexes. "... I know the truth, Michael..." Kasano Stated to Michael, leaving his face to have a slight frown as he heard that. "Do you now?" Michael asked as he sighed soon afterwards.

"Yes... Why keep that from me? Why didn't you tell me? What could you have gained of keeping that from me?" Kasano asked Michael who's facial expression still hasn't changed.

"Assurance and Safety, if people knew who you really were, you'd be a target... Your Mother is gone because I wasn't there in time... and truth be told I was scared of what you would've thought of me, and or became with that knowledge..." Michael explained to his son, as he turned his back on him looking in to the dark void in the sky.

"I wouldn't have cared about that! For Christ sakes you raised me my whole life, I looked up to you and saw you as a father! I always hoped you'd fit that role..." Kasano went around to face Michael whose eyes was still looking in to the void in the Timed Dimension.

"What do you want me to say Kasano, that you already don't know... I'm not a person who forms close attachments to anyone... not anymore at least... and the last thing I wanted you to be is like me... there was a point in time where I did want to tell you about everything... but I couldn't bring myself to do it." Michael said with a heavy tone, remembering all that is gone.

"..." Both Kasano and Michael stood in silence as they didn't know what to do or how to act on this information.

"Did you even want me to know, the truth?" Kasano asked Michael, which led him to look at him, with seemingly empty emotionless eyes. "In Truth I hoped you'd lose interest, but the more you fought to get to that goal made me realize.. that part of you will always reflect me... it made me... proud that knowing you were my son and you were ever determined to make yourself stronger... that always reflected me in my youth...I'm...I'm proud of you, truly I am.." That shook Kasano to the very core hearing that from him.

Michael's right hand formed a struggling fist as he stepped closer to Kasano pulling him in for a hug, for the first time in his life did he openly show that side of him... though to Kasano perspective if looked like Michael was struggling himself to hug him... like after a struggling battle it finally ended. Kasano wrapped his arms around the Man that raised him, even for the briefest of moments, Michael then detached himself. "Ahem... we'll have a drink later... just you and me... though... I'd prefer if we kept this information between you and me... I rather not have a barrage of questions thrown at me..." Michael stated seeing as he'd rather keep the chaos of training to a minimal from internal strain.

Luise approached the two, looking at the two. "Daddy!" She jumped on Michael wrapping her arms and legs around his form, causing Kasano to fall over. "Isn't it great Kasano now we can get your father's blessing to elope!" Luise announced to Kasano as he quickly recovered from Luise's outburst. "So what do you say Michael, may we have your blessing?" Luise asked Michael who's expression was void of all emotion. "No." Michael firmly said as he manipulated the gravity around Luise tossing her a good distance from him.

Luise rushed back to Michael jumping on his back, holding him in a choke hold. "Do it... or I'll tell everyone!" Luise threatened Michael of letting that type of secret out. "That's problematic." Michael replied placing his left palm over her head causing her to fall over feeling woozy. "Karaoke... Friday..." Luise said in a daze, feeling the effect of Michael erasing the memory of that conversation.

"I need to learn that..." Kasano said seeing the effectiveness of that ability.

"Perhaps another time I'll teach you...Now that this is out of the way, I believe I'll have to give you another exercise... you'll be linking up with the others, at least there I'll know you won't stray away." Michael stated preparing to open up the rift again.

"Wait, wait.. I had a question... if I'm your son and Tsukune has your blood running through his veins... wouldn't that make him... sort of my... brother?" Michael was about to rebuttal that, though he found no fault in that statement.

"I... wouldn't dig too much in to it... why do you ask?" Michael asked his son seeing why he brought up the question. "Because I tapped in to the Elder Dragon energy... I was wondering if he could achieve that as well?" Kasano asked seeing if he could do it and he was his son and Tsukune had the same blood running with in his veins.

"... Possibly... though I don't know what the extent he could achieve." Michael knew Tsukune had potential, though he had only begun to tap in to it. "We'll know in time..." Michael ended the conversation there opening up a new rift. Michael dispersed both Kasano and Luise through the rift, leaving him alone to search his thoughts and continue to meditate, though before he concentrated on his task, he gave off the faintest of smiles. Michael begins to think back remembering so many years ago before his death before the Guardian War...

/\/\/\/\/Many Years ago.../\/\/\/

Michael's eyes shot open sitting up from the bed, he stretched his muscles while shifting to put his legs on the floor, his foot hit a red tinted bottle with a small puddle of wine on the floor. Michael look down at the mess, scratching the back of his head.

Dragon Wine... 390 AD.. Oh right last night...

Michael turned to Ganet sitting on her knees at the table sipping her Chamomile tea, basking in the flavor as she sits in peace. Michael put his cloak back on over his clothing, sitting up from the bed. Michael saw the table adorned with different types of food, stating she must've prepared it while he was out cold.

Michael sat down on the floor at the table facing Ganet. "Good morning." Ganet said with serene voice as she set her tea down on the table to look at Michael as he observed the food. "Good morning to you as well..." Michael pulled a small sized meat off the ribs on detailed crystal plate. The two sat in silence as they knew what was going to happen on this day, Michael would be setting off on his journey to Necoria the Necromancer's Home Realm for Knowledge.

Ganet sat up walking around the table sitting by Michael she wrapped her arms around him, nuzzling her head between his neck and shoulder.

"Michael do you really have to go to Necoria?" Ganet asked Michael who was not on board of letting her friend go to a place such as Necoria.

"Yes there is knowledge in the Darkness of Necoria that will help me on my quest, in the future." Michael stated to her as he continued to eat, readying himself for the Journey.

"Michael why don't you forget that... don't risk your life going there... stay here with me... please." Ganet pleaded with Michael, seeing as last night was something special for her.

"Ganet it's not about what I want, it's about what needs to be done..." Michael stood up he raised his hand towards the bed where his sheathed Elder Blade was, the blade began to shake flying towards Michael's palms, he strapped it on his back, then fixed his hood. "I'm sorry." Michael apologized to Ganet seeing it pained her to see him go. She stood up nodding in Acknowledgement seeing as there was no changing Michael's stubborn mind.

Michael took two steps towards the exit, turning around he saw Ganet by the table top opening a sealed Guardian Council letter. Michael approached Ganet with her mind paying attention to the letter, Michael raised her chin up as he locked lips with Ganet who was caught of guard by Michael. "Good bye Ganet, we will meet again." With that said and done Michael moved towards the exit of her home, leaving Ganet to hang her head down tears hitting the floor as her clenched fists were shaking... "Tsch... Idiot...Don't promise things you don't know if you can keep." Ganet said with a strained voice as Michael was gone.

As the memory fades from Michael's mind, Ganet's form appeared right by him, with a content smile. "Michael, have you ever thought about what could of been between us?"Ganet asked Michael, seeing him breaking his concentration. "All the time... You're the one who opened up that point of time so you're past self could give him his answers didn't you?" Michael asked, while Ganet crossed her arms against her chest turning around looking away from Michael. "Hmph! I don't know what you're talking about I have very limited power while here and with out a physical body...Besides he needed to know the truth Michael."

"…..."
