Castlevania: Dark of the Rose

Chapter 1: Seiya

Riding on the bus to Yokai was a 16 year old boy who resembled Mamoru from Sailor Moon and Alucard from Castlevania, only he was a bit taller, his skin was a bit darker, had blue eyes, and his hair was Jet Black. He wore denim jeans, a black T-shirt, a denim jacket and fingerless gloves. This was Seiya Arkiado, the son of Genya Arkiado.

As Seiya rode to the school, his thoughts trailed back to when he first heard about this academy…

Flashback

Yesterday…

Seiya Arkiado walked up the steps to his house muttering to himself. It had been a rough day for him, and he needed a nap. After the benchmarks he had been put through, he needed one desperately, especially if he was going to go on his date with the school's hottest (and smartest) girl and Seiya's good friend, Charlotte Aulin.

When he came in the door, Seiya found his friends, Soma Cruz, Jonathan Morris, Charlotte, Shanoa, Julius Belmont, Yoko Belnades, & his father Genya Arkiado (better known as Alucard), all waiting for him. Seiya was stunned. He never expected this.

"Greetings, Seiya," said Arkiado in a calm voice.

"Hey, dad," said Seiya, "what's with the congregation here?"

"We need to talk to you," said Julius, "so you'll know where you're going, and what to do."

Seiya was confused. What did Julius mean by such things?

Charlotte quickly spoke up, "I'm sorry we won't get to go on our date, Seiya. I was actually looking forward to it, Especially with a vampire."

Seiya cringed at these words. He would never get used to the fact that he was actually Theo Celsius Tepes aka Draco, the son of Alucard, who was in turn the son of Dracula. He had been told by his own father who proved it to him.

"Speak plainly," snarled Seyia, "what the hell is going on here?"

"Well…" began Jonathan, "you may want to see this…"

Jonathan handed Seiya a strange looking flyer. Seiya opened it and his hair stood on end.

"Ummm… where did you guys find this thing?" asked Seiya.

"A monk gave it to me," said Yoko, "and I showed it to the others. It looked interesting enough."

"Besides," said Soma, "this place could provide a few clues to the location of Castlevania."

Seiya cringed again. He would never get used to hearing those words either. Castlevania was actually the name of the castle that was home to the legendary Lord Dracula. Dracula had been destroyed in 1999 by the Belmonts, but that didn't stop the castle from resurrecting, obviously enough.

"Yokai Academy," said Seiya, "I've never heard of such a place. And it's way out in the countryside, in the middle of nowhere."

"We think that someone there is planning to exploit the castle's powers," said Arkiado," and if that's true, that person must be stopped."

Seiya nodded. It made perfect sense. After all, monsters could find the castle easily. Humans and gods didn't have it so easy.

"But who could possibly be foolish enough to attempt such a thing?" asked Seiya.

"We thought it would be obvious," said Shanoa, "probably the rebirth of Lilith."

Seiya burst out laughing. The Lilith Rebirth? Yeah, right! The rebirth of Lilith was a legendary demon who had powers that other succubi wished they had. But the stories were just rumors… were they?

Seiya stopped laughing and turned pale. "The rebirth of lilith!" shrieked Kodi, "First off, that is just a damn myth! Second, I'm not going to some bizarro monk school!"

"Think of it as an extension to your education," said Charlotte, "going to new places can be a challenge, but also an opportunity to grow."

Seiya had to admit, Charlotte did have a point. Seiya hesitated and thought about his decision. Finally his mind was made up.

"Fine. I'll go," said Seiya, "but what about you guys?"

"Don't worry about us, just get packing," said Yoko.

"You leave first thing tomorrow morning," said Arkiado, "Good luck, and beware the rebirth of Lilith. I sense she is near…"

Seiya shook his head and headed to his room. So much for his date with Charlotte. Seiya got out his suitcase and packed it with all the necessities he needed. He knew he would need to get his act together for this. Seiya knew that this was just the beginning of something terrible…

End flashback

Seiya Arkiado examined his surroundings with a critical eye. This place was a haunted wasteland in his eyes, and the school up ahead, was a haunted house. Seiya shook his head. "It seems that this place could use an extreme makeover. Either that or the health department needs to give this place an F," growled Seiya as the bus came to a stop. The doors opened.

"Take care of yourself, young man," said the bus driver snickering, "that academy may be the last thing you'll ever see. One wrong move, and you may never see anything again. Heh heh heh."

"Whatever," muttered Seiya, as he stepped off the bus. Slowly the bus pulled away, leaving behind a trail of dust, making Seiya cough.

Man, what a crazy ass freak show this is becoming," choked Seiya. Seiya began his long trek to the academy that would become his nightmare… completely unaware of the danger close at hand, and even more unaware of the girl with the blue hair and busty cleavage who had been spying on him.

"Soon, Theo Celsius Tepes, you will be all mine on cloud nine," giggled the girl. She knew exactly how she was going to get him, too. She quickly ran to commence her plan.

Seiya had been walking for a half hour when his thirst skyrocketed. Ever since Seiya had found out he was actually Draco, and accepted the Draco Sword's power, the power in him had been drying him up from the inside. Seiya groaned. How he wished he had brought some water with him! Any source of water would be good right now!

Seiya's prayer was answered when he heard the blessed sound of water. Laughing with happiness, Seiya ran to the source and found a pond. Seiya sat down and plunged his head into the cold water. The water felt so refreshing to him, he thought he might faint! He shot his head out happily and drank up some water and smacked his lips.

"Oh man, that was awesome," sighed Seiya. Seiya's revelations were suddenly interrupted by the moaning of someone.

"S-Someone… please… help me…" moaned a female voice. Seiya looked and saw a beautiful girl about to collapse.

"H-help me… I'm so faint…" moaned the girl. Seiya ran over and helped the girl up. Upon closer inspection, he noticed the radiant beauty of this girl. The first thing he noticed, like any other guy would, was her large breasts. The second thing that made her stand out was her blue hair tied up in a cute ponytail. She wore an extremely tight white long sleeve shirt and a sweater vest over it. She also wore the slandered school girls skirt that showed off her legs. Seiya noticed all these features as he helped her up. He had to admit, she was by far the cutest girl he had ever laid eyes on.

"There you go, miss. Easy there," Seiya spoke softly.

"T-Thank you… so much," said the girl, "but who are you? We haven't met before."

"The name's Seiya. Seiya Arkiado. What's up with you? Why were you on the ground?" Seiya asked.

"Well, you see, I have these spasms in my chest. My chest feels so tight…" said the girl as she fell onto Seiya and started rubbing her breasts against him, "it feels like it's going to burst."

Seiya said nothing as this dazzlingly beautiful girl rubbed her breasts against him. In fact, he was enjoying it.

"Please… look into my eyes…" said the mystery girl as she took Seiya's hands in hers.

Seiya did just that and was blown away be the radiant beauty of this girl. She was so beautiful, Seiya wanted so much to hug and kiss her, to feel her smooth and supple skin, to taste those lips of hers, to lie in a beautiful meadow with her.

"My name is Kurumu Kurono. Please be my friend," said Kurumu as she performed her Allure spell on poor Seiya. Invisible waves shot from Kurumu's eyes and into Seiya's. Seiya felt a strange sensation take over him. Suddenly, he held Kurumu close to him.

"With someone as beautiful as you, I want to be more than just friends," said Seiya as he held Kurumu close to him.

"Ooh, what are you doing?" giggled Kurumu. Kurumu giggled to herself as satisfaction slowly overtook her. She had found the right guy to be her replacement mate of fate. Now, all she had to do was give him just one kiss, and he would be hers forever. Unforunately for her, the bell rang and it was once again time for class. Kurumu ran for the school.

"Hey, wait up!" shouted Seiya as he followed close behind. Seiya couldn't bear to leave Kurumu now. They just met. Seiya and Kurumu ran up to the school at full speed, completely unaware of a young boy and girl watching them.

"This doesn't look good, Charlotte," said the boy, "he's completely fallen for her. What do we do now?"

"It won't sit well with his father, as much as I agree, Jonathan. I think we should wait and see how far this goes," said the girl, "but let's hope the Allure spell wears off. We may need a lot of help for this one."

"Should we contact Soma?" asked the boy

"Yes, let's," agreed the girl.

Together, the duo rushed off to find their ally…
