Tsukune Zeref (Rosario Vampire / Fairy Tail)

If someone were to look at Tsukune Zeref Aono from an observatory point of view, they would see an ordinary young man of thirteen years of age. He had stylishly messy brown hair, brown eyes and an average height and build for his age.

However should you be one of his family members or his closest friend, you would know that he is anything but normal. From a young age, he has been obsessed with the idea of the supernatural. His mother tried heavily to discourage his obession, from gently explaining it to attempting to force him to stop researching it.

"Fat lot of good that did." Tsukune muttered, sitting at his desk in his room. True to his comment, he hadn't stopped researching the supernatural. Though his room didn't show it. It was fairly plain, having a single bed, a TV stand with a 20 inch TV, a desk and a closet for his clothes.

There was also a whole cupboard dedicated to his obsession, something he wasn't happy about, wanting to display it proudly around his room. However it was a condition that his mother forced on him: he was free to research and enjoy stories about the supernatural, but he had to keep his books and other items out of plain view. He could somewhat understand this, as his mother might be worried how he would appear to people that visited their house.

Currently Tsukune was reading a book about wielding magic, his favourite topic in supernatural books. His brown eyes eagerly flew across the words, taking in all of the information.

"Magic can take many different forms, and can be manipulated in various different ways. However, humans themselves are not inherently capable of wielding magic." Tsukune frowned at this. "The theory is that when God threw Adam and Eve out of Eden, he also stripped humanity's ability to use magic without some sort of catalyst." He read aloud. "I suppose a catalyst is a wand or staff." He muttered.

He turned the page to continue. "As to what creatures can use magic, examples would be Fairies, Demons, Djin, Dragons and many others. Where are they all you might wonder? If there are so many species that can use magic, where are they? Some were thought to have died after God flooded the world and they were not allowed on Noah's ark, though it is a generally accepted theory that they exist, some having a human form, some just in a hidden world that Humans are not capable of accessing." He finished.

Tsukune grinned. "Awesome!" He exclaimed, fist pumping the air. "Magical creatures living among us? A hidden world inaccessible to humans? This is the best book I've read yet!" He turned the book over to its front, revealing the cover as being fairly medieval looking leather in top condition. "Written by... Tenmei Mikogami." He said. He sat in thought for a moment, trying to see if he could recognize the name. "Tenmei... Tenmei..." He muttered, tapping his chin. "Meh!" He shrugged. "Probably saw the name in the library once." He theorized.

*Knock Knock*

"Tsukune!" his mother's voice echoed from behind his door. "Are you dressed? You aren't looking at any indecent websites on your laptop are you?" She accused.

Tsukune's face took on a mortified expression. "W-what? No I'm not!" He sputtered.

"Aha!" His mother exclaimed, slamming open the door suddenly. Sayla Zeref stood there in all her glory. Being a very attractive woman, Sayla attracted a lot of male admirers, though she rejected every single one. She was quite pale but not in an unhealthy way, with long black hair and a well endowed body along with an ethereally beautiful face and orange eyes. She wore a white long sleeve jumper and black short shorts. With how young she looked and the way she dressed, most thought that she was Tsukune's sister rather than his mother. Hell, most people thought they weren't even related.

Seeing Tsukune sitting there with wide eyes and a book, she stood straight and smiled. "Good. Breakfast is ready Tsukune, but be quick or you'll be late for school." She said.

Tsukune looked at his clock, which read 7:45. "Damn! The bus gets here in fifteen minutes!" He said, jumping up and grabbing his grey school blazer. Heading towards the landing, he kissed his mother on the cheek as he ran past. "Thanks mom!" He said, making his way down the stairs.

"Be careful!" She replied, smiling. Waiting a second, she let out a breath when she was sure Tsukune was downstairs. "Now..." She muttered, walking to his desk. Seeing the book he was reading, she frowned. "Tenmei..." She muttered in anger at seeing the author. She narrowed her eyes and gritted her teeth. "That bastard, he's doing this on purpose. Tsukune's getting closer and closer to actually reaching the supernatural world. Zeref-sama wanted me to wait until exactly four hundred years had passed until I unsealed Tsukune's magic."

Slowly, her angry expression faded, turning into a contemplative one. "But... maybe it is time..." She muttered. "With Tsukune's early awakening into consciousness and his interest in the supernatural it's bound to happen sooner rather than later." She sighed, before bringing her thumb to her mouth and biting on it to draw blood. She drew a circle on Tsukune's desk from the blood, along with other strange symbols along the outside edge. "Venga, END." She intoned, slamming her hand inside the circle.

For a second, nothing happened. Then, she noticed the light start to drain from the room and the sunlight from the window being blocked by dark energy. The blood making up the magic circle started glowing and the temperature in the room started to rise, and as she stepped back from the magic circle, a burst of dark energy slowly came forth from the book then coalesced into a large ornate book with the word END in large letters on the front.

Once the book had formed completely, all the residual effects of its summoning faded away, apart from the fact that it consistently radiated a strange sort of heat.

Sayla slowly picked the book up, running her hands over the cover. She tried opening the book, but nothing happened as she couldn't even seperate two pages.

"Mom! Are you okay? I heard..." Sayla turned to see Tsukune run into the room with a worried expression. His expression changed into one of confusion however when he saw Sayla standing there with a serious expression on her face. Looking around, he noted the strange markings on his desk and the book held in Sayla's hands.

Sayla walked towards Tsukune until she stood right in front of him. "Tsukune, you've always had an interest in the supernatural and its works. You want it to exist." She said.

Tsukune frowned in confusion at where the conversation was going. "I don't want it to exist, I already believe that it does." He stated.

Sayla smiled at that. "Yes, you believe. But belief in this world is the act of thinking something exists but without definitive proof. I don't believe the supernatural exists Tsukune." She said.

Tsukune blinked at her words before he widened his eyes in shock when he registered the way she said it. "You mean...?" He trailed off.

Sayla nodded. "I don't believe it exists, I know it does." She then held out the book to Tsukune.

Tsukune read the title. "END?" He said absently.

Sayla nodded. "If you want real information about the supernatural and magic, take the book. However, know that if you choose to do so, you will learn things. Some will be good and some will be bad. There will be things that will cause you to regret ever taking an interest in the supernatural." She warned, watching him as he widened his eyes at her words.

Tsukune looked down and stared at the book as he deliberated on what to do.

Now, most people would immediately dismiss Sayla's words as insane and not believe them for a second. However, having an obsession with the supernatural and having known Sayla for the past thirteen years made him suspend his disbelief.
