Tsukune Aono: Shinso Akuma
Changes in my continuity of Rosario to Vampire:
-Yokai Academy is on an island in the underworld.
-Tsukune is a year older than the Moka, Kurumu and the others, but is in the same grade as them due to his previously failed entrance exams making him wait a year.
-Akua is only a few months older than Tsukune.
-There is no such thing as 'Fairy Tale', and Alucard is still underneath Shuzen Castle, though Akasha was still absorbed into him.
-The '3 Dark Lords' aren't the rulers of monsters, they are monsters that have achieved great feats or performed great service to the monster world and were rewarded with that rank. They answer only to the rulers of their respective factions and to a lesser extent the Satans.
A/N: Quick warning, this chapter is quite to and fro, so it could get confusing with the changing timelines. It will only be this first chapter, I promise :)
Chapter one: New School
Tsukune sat outside the office of the Headmistress of Kuoh Academy, waiting for the woman to call him in. He looked into the mirror on the other side of the posh, mainly wood decorated lounge area; absently comparing himself now to what he looked like when he was still human.
His previously brown hair was replaced by a pitch black colour, and though it still had the same style, the it looked more suave than before. His once slightly smaller height of 5'7" was now an impressive 6'1" which made him taller than most, but not to an unusual degree.
His once average but slightly athletic body was now leanly well built with an obvious six pack and toned muscles. His face had gone from only slightly above average to 'School Prince' level, to quote some of the girls he heard muttering it as he walked in. He heard several things like "Kyaah! He's such a bishie!" and "Oh my god! Another prince level hottie like Kiba-kun! I don't think I can handle the level of handsome two school princes will produce!" Before literally fainting, causing most of the boys to seethe in jealousy and the girls to crowd behind him as he walked, asking him loads of questions. He tried the tactic of ignoring them, but this proved to be a mistake as it just made him even more attractive to them, calling him a dark - brooding type.
Slightly annoyed at all the attention, he tried a tactic to distract them. With the girls following behind him, he turned his head towards them with an intense gaze and slight glare, before "hmph"-ing and swiftly hurrying forward and round the corner, successfully losing them while they all made a very loud 'Kyaah!' noise.
He shook his head, slightly amused at the memory, before moving onto his eyes and briefly frowning when he noticed that his illusion had failed again, revealing his red eyes to the world. Sighing, he rubbed his temple. "Guess I'll have to find an excuse for that." He muttered. He turned his head when he noticed the door to the office open.
Standing in the doorway was actually a beautiful, fairly youthful looking woman, looking to be somewhere in her mid-twenties. "Tsukune Aono?" She asked. He nodded as he stood, surprisingly only being taller than the woman by about 2 inches. She smiled and extended her hand. "I'm Katarea Levis, headmistress of the Academy." She said. Her voice was smooth, with a hint of sensuality.
He smiled and took her hand, placing a kiss on it. "Ah, it's good to meet you. I'm sorry if it offends you but I must say you are quite beautiful." He said honestly. And she was. Her skin was tanned, smooth and unblemished. She had dark brown hair held in a bun, with the fringe left forward. She had a buxom figure, and was wearing a simple white button up shirt that was left slightly undone, revealing decent cleavage with a blue woman's business blazer and skirt combo, along with enticing black tights; drawing attention to her long toned legs.
She smiled demurely and held her hand to her cheek. "Oh my, how bold of you to make your headmistress blush like this." She said, the statement not having any actual admonishment in it. Also, she did indeed have a light dusting of red to her cheeks. On the inside however, her thought process was different. 'He definitely isn't human.' She thought. 'At least not fully. He has a dark energy inside him, and it feels strong. I can't tell quite how strong, though It feels like it's at least in the low ultimate-class range. Still...' She paused, admiring his form. '...It's good he isn't human. Such a fine specimen being human would be such a waste.' She thought lecherously.
"My apologies, but it is true." He said and she waved it off. He could also sense that this woman was not human. She was also powerful, though he couldn't tell how powerful, as he had never encountered this type of energy before. The closest this power came to something he had sensed before was Tenmei Mikogami's. "Anyway, shall we continue with the meeting?" He asked.
"Yes of course, please come in and have a seat." She said, directing him into her office. It was quite large, being the size of an average classroom. In the left corner as you come in it had a expensive looking kitchen sink and kettle, along with a microwave and shelves of all different sorts of teas, coffees and even a couple of hot chocolates. Further along that wall was a small group of cushioned seats surrounding a coffee table. The entirety of the opposite wall was occupied by a bookcase, filled with books on many different subjects. The back wall, containing her rather large and ornate oak desk, had a large window that almost stretched the length of the wall, providing plenty of light.
She beckoned him over to her desk, and he sat opposite her as she took out some paperwork from her drawer and a pen. "Right, there's just a few things to go over before we get you enrolled." She said, filling in a few boxes whilst talking. "First, I need to confirm some details about yourself and your educational history. Is that okay?" She asked.
"Sure, ask away." He smiled, and she smiled back.
"Thanks. Right first question; Your full name is Tsukune Aono, no middle names?"
"I do have a middle name - Dracul - but other than that, it's correct." He said, not noticing her pause when he said Dracul.
'He's not human, his middle name is Dracula and he has red eyes. He must be a vampire then. It's unusual for such a young vampire to be as powerful as I sensed from him though.' She thought. "Dracul... got it. Next, your age and the level of education you are enrolling in?" She asked.
"I turn 18 in two months on June the 22nd, and I'm going into my third year of high school." He confirmed.
"Okay. Good. Previous place of education?" She asked, looking up at him.
"..." He was hesitant for a second, wondering if he should lie.
"Tsukune?" She asked, seeing him hesitate. "Are you okay? Would you like some water?" She offered. Amusing herself, knowing that water would just make him worse. What she didn't know was that Tsukune was immune to vampire weaknesses, they affect him as much as they would a human.
"Uh, no I'm fine, thanks. Just reminiscing." He explained. "Yokai Academy." He said. This time she didn't react, but she certainly knew what that meant.
"Yokai Academy, got it." She said. 'Yokai academy?' She thought, writing it down. 'I thought that once someone enrolled there they hung onto them like a barbed arrow till they graduated?' She wondered. 'Oh well, not important.' She concluded. If Tsukune was enrolling in a place like Kuoh Academy then it didn't seem like he was in a hurry to run from anyone, meaning he wasn't being chased by Tenmei. She looked down at his grades, impressed at his standards. "Well your grades are excellent, A+ across the board. So you should have no problem adapting to the classes." She stated.
Tsukune actually looked embarrassed at that, still not used to the compliments to his intelligence which had drastically increased for some reason when he had fully released the holy lock. "Hah, thanks, but I'm not that great."
Katarea smiled a little, finding him cute, before catching herself. 'Cute? I'm the fucking Leviathan, an Ultimate class devil and a Satan and I find him cute?.' She thought, but smiled nonetheless. "You shouldn't sell yourself short. You have a lot to offer. I'm sure if you found something that you were passionate about that you would be peerless in that field." She complimented, smiling. Her gaze changed to a sultry one as she said. "You're quite easy on the eyes too. If you're not careful I might snatch you up on your eighteenth birthday." She said, only half joking while leaning forward to make her cleavage more visible.
Tsukune blushed a little, but otherwise ignored it. "I was told that before classes I would get a tour?" He asked. Katarea pouted at not getting much of a reaction, but answered anyway.
"Yes. I'll call one of your classmates to give you the tour. Her name is Rias Gremory, she's the president of the Occult Research club and the highest ranking female student in the exams last year." She picked up her phone and dialled the extension for the classroom.
"Thanks." He said.
"Hello?" A male voice answered.
"Hello, Hitoshi-san it's Katarea." She said.
"Ah, Katarea-sama what can I do for you?" Hitoshi asked. Tsukune heard a difference in his voice, it sounded like he was trying very hard to be respectful. He guessed it was because Katarea was quite young for a headmistress.
"Could you please send Rias-san to my office? There's a new student that will be in your class that I would like her to give a tour of the school." She said. Due to his enhanced hearing, Tsukune could hear on the phone the teacher telling this 'Rias' girl to go to the Headmistress's office. He could vaguely hear a girls voice say 'Hai. I will be there shortly.'
"She's on her way." Hitoshi said.
"Thank-you Hitoshi-san." Katarea said, hanging up. She then stood, beckoning Tsukune to come with her. "Come with me, we'll wait outside the office. The classroom isn't far from my office so it shouldn't take long for her to get here." She said, so Tsukune followed her out. "Oh, by the way, if either Rias asks you to join her Occult research club or if Sona Sitri, the Student Council President asks you to join the Student Council, I advise you to go for the Occult Research club. You'll probably be happier there." She said, and Tsukune looked at her strangely but nodded nonetheless.
They stood in silence, and Tsukune used the time to think about what had happened recently.
REMINISCING START
When Moka had been forced to give him her blood so he could defend himself, Tsukune had turned into a Ghoul, a mindless monster focused on destruction. Luckily Tenmei Mikogami had come to the rescue, having given Tsukune something called a Holy lock. It allowed Tsukune to keep his sanity, whilst also keeping his powers in check. With the lock fully on, he was slightly more powerful than 'outer' Moka, meaning he was about as powerful as a low-class vampire. But when he released some of the seals, he could become as powerful as 'inner' Moka.
He thought he could use this power to protect his friends, to make sure nothing happened to them. But once his friends found out he was a Ghoul, they became deathly afraid of him. Kurumu still tried to act normal, but he could tell that she was frightened that he would lose control of himself. He didn't hold it against them. You're told your friend has become a monster spoken about with dread, something that has no conscience and kills indiscriminately? He might have been frightened too.
But the thing that surprised him was Moka, specifically the 'outer'. When he had found her afterwards, he tried to talk to her. He had been expecting fear, or maybe she would treat him the same as before. But he did not expect her to treat him with cold indifference. That was the straw that broke the camel's back, so to speak. He packed his things and headed to the bus stop. Kurumu must have seen him because she came running and begged him not to go, saying that she wasn't afraid of him anymore.
He had almost stayed, but he could see the fear of him still there. It was overshadowed by the fear that he would leave, but it was still there. He apologized to her, told her it had to be done. He got on the bus and left, the bus driver not even making some wise-ass comment. He dropped Tsukune off in at the edge of the forest outside of town.
Before Tsukune could walk far, someone had punched him, sending him crashing into the forest. It was the last of the ANTI-THESIS group. There were 15 of them. They had yelled at him for a while about ruining their plans, before they just attacked him. He had fought as hard as he could, even releasing a few seals, but these members seemed to be the former higher-ups, and were only a little weaker than Hokuto individually. Together, they very nearly overwhelmed Tsukune.
Being weak and desperate, Tsukune decided to break the Holy Lock entirely, partially because it was his only option left, and also because he had a feeling that doing it would be alright. After doing so, an overwhelming amount of pure, unrefined monster energy filled him, eating away at him. Tsukune felt that the power was uncontrolled. In it's pure and blank state, the power had responded to his desperation, reading the minds of all the monstrels, basically analysing their experience in controlling their power, fusing it into one load, then it essentially copied and pasted the information onto Tsukune's being.
This had allowed him to come out unharmed, and even changed. Were before he was weak and unsure of himself, now he was strong and proud. Where once stood a powerful human, now stood a powerful Shinso Vampire. The monstrels had all looked on fearfully, the amount of energy being more than all of them combined. It also may have been due to the fact that Tsukune stood there, silent, stoic, with glowing red eyes. Then in a flash, all of the monstrels fell to the floor, dead with Tsukune walking away. If you looked carefully you could see blood dripping from his hand.
FLASHBACK
As he walked away from the scene, Tsukune's mind was whirling with questions.
How had he transformed into vampire?
Was he not a Ghoul?
Even if vampires are strong, surely he shouldn't have been able to defeat all of those monstrels?
When he got back to the road, he noticed the Yokai Academy bus there, the driver leaning on the side. Walking up to him, he noticed he didn't have his usually creepy grin. His face was serious. "I sensed the energy you released from miles away." Looking at Tsukune's wrist and not seeing the Holy lock, that and the changes that Tsukune had gone through he deduced that he had taken off the Holy Lock already. "We were hoping you wouldn't have to take off the lock for a few months yet, your body shouldn't have been able to handle it." He muttered, looking contemplative.
"Why am I not a ghoul? I thought if I took off the lock I became a mindless monster?" Tsukune asked.
The driver sighed. "The Holy Lock is not a device meant to seal away power. At least, not entirely." He explained. "While it does seal away power, it is actually meant to be used as a filter for uncontrolled power, using it to convert the host body to suit the power inside it." As Tsukune's eyes went wide in realization, the bus driver nodded. "Yes Tsukune. In your case, the Holy Locks purpose was to use the power within you and safely turn you into a vampire." He said.
Tsukune looked down for a while in thought. "Why not tell me?" He asked.
"We wanted you to look at things from a human perspective, using this we wanted to be able to get other monsters to see things from a humans point of view. We knew how long it would take to safely turn you, so a month before that, we would tell you and start training you in the various things you would need to know." He said. He felt for the boy, he really did. The past year and a bit of the boy's life had been hard. Coming to a school of monsters, getting beaten on all the time, becoming a so-called mindless monster, his only friends being scared of him. It was rough. His eyes widened in remembrance. He had some news that the boy might like. "Tsukune." He said.
Tsukune looked at him, a questioning look in his eyes, which were still slightly unfocused. "Yes?" He asked.
The bus driver smirked. "There may be some good news. After you left, most of your friends went home, seeing no reason to be at Yokai without you."
Tsukune quirked an eyebrow. "How is that good news bus dri-?"
"Nurari" He interrupted.
"What?" Tsukune asked.
"My name is Nurari." The bus driver said. Tsukune nodded. "Anyway, as for how it's good news, when Moka got back to Shuzen Castle and she was allowed out of the seal, she immediately asked where you were." He said and Tsukune was shocked, she wanted to know where he was? "Yes I know, apparently she ran into the gardens and started screaming. Her exact words were and I quote 'That stupid Barbie coloured bitch, she dares treat Tsukune like that?! Un-pure blood my arse! Now I have no idea where he is so I can't apologise!' end quote." Tsukune's eyes threatened to pop out their sockets at that. Inner Moka wanted to apologise for what outer Moka did?
He smiled to himself. 'At least one of my friends didn't mind me being a ghoul.' He thought.
Nurari just smirked, pleased that Tsukune wasn't going to turn into a puddle of depression. He took a puff of his cigar before speaking again. "Alright Tsukune, you now have 3 choices." He said. He expected Tsukune to say something, but he just stayed silent, so Nurari carried on. "1) You can go back to Yokai and continue your second year of education. 2) I'll take you to one of the Dark Lords, Tohou Fuhai who will train you. 3) You can go on your own and try to cope like that. I wouldn't recommend the third choice, but it's up to you." When he had finished, he looked to Tsukune, who was looking up at the sky in deep thought.
'What should I do?' He thought. 'I wanted to get away from the supernatural life for a while, but I know that that would be pretty much impossible now.' He was in a dilemma. He wanted a rest from that life but if he was honest with himself, now that he had lived it anything defined as 'normal' would probably seem boring in comparison. If he thought about it the choice was obvious. Even if he chose choice one or three, he wouldn't have good control over his powers. Even now he could tell that he had a lot of energy that wasn't controlled.
"I'll go with you to see Tohou Fuhai, Nurari-san." He finally said, and Nurari grinned like a Cheshire cat.
"Well then, next stop - China." He said.
FLASHBACK END
Nurari took him to China after that, where he got to meet the infamous Tohou Fuhai, one of the three Dark Lords of the monsters. He was told that he would be spending the rest of his 2nd year of high-school there, along with the holiday after it, meaning just under 11 months. Tsukune had at first been sceptical that he would need to be there for so long. His thoughts were 'I beat those monstrels like nothing, surely there isn't much that could kill me now?'.
About 2 days later his exact thoughts were 'Oh my absolute fuck I was so wrong.' As he lay on the ground in a pool of his own sweat and blood. Tohou had taken his preconceptions about strength and shattered them like so much glass. He told Tsukune that while he was very physically strong, fast and had an ungodly amount of monster energy, he had no technique for fighting and no control over that energy.
So they started training, his schedule being something like this:
Saturdays: 10:00 am - 12:00 am = Endurance and Physical Exercise
12:30 am - 3:30 pm = Martial Arts/Fighting Techniques
4:00 pm - 6:00 pm = Yoki Control
6:00 pm - 8:00 pm = Yojutsu Techniques
Weekdays + Sunday: 8:00 am - 12:00 am = Education
Sunday & Monday: 12:30 am - 5:00 pm = Martial Arts/Fighting Techniques
Tuesday & Wednesday: 12:30 am - 5:00 pm = Yoki Control + Yojutsu Techniques
Thursday & Friday: 12:30 am - 5:00 pm = Train Any Unique Powers
After 2 weeks of getting literally no-where with Yoki control, Tohou scanned his body and found out why. Apparently, since Tsukune didn't wait the intended amount of time to release the holy lock, his Yojutsu pathways had not finished being developed. Tsukune was depressed for all of five minutes before Tohou told him of the 'body modification technique'. That he could theoretically perform on Tsukune. He had developed the technique based on a treatment used at monster hospitals to repair/rebuild damaged energy pathways. Rather than repairing ones Tsukune didn't have, he would create them from scratch using special needles made of Mithril to channel the energy through the body.
Tsukune had immediately agreed, despite Tohou saying that since it would also be altering his soul, which would double the pain felt after each needle was inserted.
So they set up the technique and performed it, and despite the odds Tsukune came out of it possessing the correct Yoki pathways suited for him, though he had to rest for 2 days before his ungodly high-speed regeneration kicked in, which is also something Tsukune discovered. Vampires were known to have good regeneration, but since he was the legendary Shinso vampire, his body was almost undying. It was to the point where he once tried under supervision to cut his entire arm open with a scalpel only to see that the cut healed as soon as the scalpel wasn't in the way.
Anyway now that he had a working Yoki system, they carried on training and the difference was like night and day. Whereas before he could barely get his yoki under control enough for basic techniques because his yoki was like the sea being forced through a syringe, it was now like a well controlled dam. He progressed incredibly quickly, becoming adept at Yojutsu within 2 weeks and becoming close to a master in 2 months. He also practised with his 'creation'; the ability to create things from his blood, such as weapons or armour.
His martial arts training was coming along quickly as well. He had chosen a few different fighting stiles:
Northern and Southern style Shequan or 'Snake Fist', meant for fluidity and quick strikes.
Longquan, or 'Dragon Fist', meant for hard, powerful strikes that are hard to counter.
He also made a sort of mixture of the two that was to be used with 'Hougetsu Jigen-Tou'. This was also a technique he mastered to a further extent than even Tohou Fuhai, the original creator of the technique. Instead of Tohou's 100 repetitions, Tsukune could produce 200 repetitions, allowing for quicker and more devastating strikes, even long range. So far he had managed to strike and successfully cut through a barrier made by Tohou that was over 300 meters away. He had also learned its counter, 'Muei Tou' or the 'Tonfa of Light'.
He was just as competent in learning sword styles, and became a master very quickly. Though he found that there were no swords in the Fuhai compound that suited him. He decided then that he would also learn blacksmithing, something he had to do from tomes, as no-one there knew it. This was very slow going, but by the end he had just about mastered making katanas and the method of implementing special mystical ingredients into them. Other then that, he could also make basic forms of other weapons, but he hadn't mastered it to the same level.
Even then, he couldn't find suitable materials, so he resolved to use the Hougetsu Jigen-Tou on its own until he could find a sword that would channel his power properly, allowing him to channel the Hougetsu Jigen-Tou's cutting power into his sword, which would increase the range dramatically.
As he continued learning he discovered he had a special ability, specifically to create barriers so powerful that no technique so far had fully broken them. He had named this technique 'Absolute Territory' and he even set up a weaker passive version called the 'A.T. Field'. The only downside was that he could not attack from behind the non-passive version, as it also would block his own attacks. Then again, crushing an entire 10 acres of forest beneath a barrier was also a pretty decent attack.
On the seventh month of training, they had a visitor named Akua. She was a very attractive girl a few months older than him. She was of Chinese descent with shoulder length black hair and pale skin. She was fairly short, only around 5'4" so not lolicon level. She had a very toned body and taught stomach, with high c-cup breasts. Not the biggest in the world, but she made up for it with her shapely behind and smooth toned legs. Overall, Tsukune thought she was a very beautiful woman.
He was shocked when he found out that it was Moka's sister! At first he thought that she was here to find him for Moka, but he soon discovered that she had come to visit her old master. When she had found Tsukune she had thought he would be weak, so she challenged him to a fight. She was shocked that he had beaten her. It was a hard fight for Tsukune as well, but he had managed to win.
Deciding that Tsukune was fascinating, she decided to stay for a while and observe and get to know him. She had even used her power as heiress of the Shuzen family to bestow upon him the Dracul family name, a family of old but powerful vampires that had gone extinct long ago when Alucard had gone on his final rampage; this made him the head of that family, and as such a vampiric noble.
He had been shocked, but had gratefully accepted. She had even taken to calling him Tsukune-sama as a sign of respect. At first he had objected to it, but since she didn't stop, he decided to leave it be as he didn't want to offend her by continuously objecting.
So for the next few months, Tsukune and Akua trained together and got to know each other. As they did so, Akua developed a decent crush on Tsukune, acting a little bit more embarassed to certain things he said than she normally would, such as compliments. She resisted confessing, knowing he was in love with her little sister deterred her as she loved her sister too much to hurt her by stealing Tsukune.
Nevertheless, even if she didn't confess to him, she decided to serve him by becoming vassal to the Dracul family, something Tsukune was surprised by but agreed to, not truly knowing what it meant other than her being loyal to him.
After discussing their next move for after they finished training, they had decided to go to a place called Kuoh Academy upon the recommendation of Tohou Fuhai. He never said why he chose that specific place, just that they would both find it interesting.
So they continued their last month of training, which mainly consisted of refining their skills, and at the end Tohou admitted to Tsukune, that he was probably on the same level as Akasha, an extremely powerful Shinso who was an Ultimate-class being. He had no idea what that meant, but even so, to be told that he was on par with someone reveared as the messiah of all monsters was a shock.
After their training had finished, Tsukune was set to leave for Kuoh-Academy, while Akua said that she had to go back to the Shuzen family for a bit, but would join him in a month. When he asked what she would be doing, Akua just winked and told him it would be a surprise.
And so they set off.
REMINISCING END
Tsukune was shaken from his thoughts when Katarea spoke.
"Ah, Rias-san. Thank you for coming." She said, and Tsukune turned when he heard another voice.
"It is no problem Katarea-sensei. How could I help?" She asked. Tsukune was struck by her beauty, somehow surpassing Akua and being on par with Inner Moka. She had long, luscious and vibrant red hair, green eyes, and a figure that most girls would kill to have. Her breasts looked very large but firm, at least an E-cup if not more, and she appeared to take exercise seriously. She also didn't seem to be human, but her power level was a lot weaker than Katarea's.
"This young man is Tsukune Aono, he has transferred here. He will be in your class, so I would like you to show him around." She said.
Rias smiled prettily. "Of course." She said, and Katarea thanked her before returning to her office. Turning to Tsukune, she offered her hand to him. "It's very good to meet you, my name is Rias Gremory. I hope you enjoy your time here." She said.
Tsukune took her hand and smiled honestly, making Rias blush unnoticeably. "It's good to meet you too Rias-san, please treat me well." He said cheekily.
Rias giggled faintly before composing herself. "Very well, I shall try. Now please, follow me." And she started the tour.
CHAPTER END
-
I hope you liked it! That was my first chapter of Tsukune Dracul Aono: The Shinso Akuma.
This is a Rosario Vampire / Highschool DxD crossover that will mainly take place in the Highschool DxD universe, though you will see things that come from other anime like the 'Absolute Territory Field' or 'A.T. Field' from Evangelion.
For Katerea's Appearance, search 'Katarea Leviathan' on the High-school DxD wiki. It's her, just with the clothes I described instead.
EDIT: Right, so people reading this again obviously noticed that I took out the part where Akua confesses and they get together, after reading it again it felt too rushed to be realistic and it interfered with how I planned the story to progress. They'll still likely get together, but that might change as I write the story.
So, its not that he didn't want a harem before, it was the way the girls were pursuing him before that put him off.
OK! Enough now. No more page long author's notes, I'll only note a few important things at the end of each chapter from now on.
