Chapter Two

Tsukune leaned his cheek on his fist, using his vampiric abilities to pay attention to the teacher while also allowing him to think about other things.

After his tour of the school with Rias, he had been led back to the classroom, where he was introduced as a new student. The reaction between girls and boys had been vastly different, with the girls either squealing in joy or some just being happy that there was another bishounen-type at the school. However the male population either didn't care or were angry that there was another bishounen that would take away even more attention away from them.

He had been attending the school for a good three weeks now, and other than discovering several other energy signatures similar to Rias', nothing interesting had really happened.

He did notice that these energy signatures gathered together every now and then, the two areas being the student council's office and the old school building, which he assumed was Rias' club. No other power signatures could be sensed from anyone else, except a small number of latent ones. He assumed therefore that the supernatural aspect of this school was unknown to the general teacher and student populace.

'I wonder how Inner Moka and Ruby are doing.' He thought, slightly regretting his decision not to have his final year at Yokai so he could see his friends again. He only really wanted to see Inner Moka and Ruby, as Ruby had resisted her fear of him and had tried to stay friends with him, while Inner Moka had faith that the holy lock would work and that Tsukune would be fine. He wished he had known that at the time, but what was done was done and he liked how it had turned out anyway.

'I should send them a message soon.' He thought to himself.

He had also become good friends with Rias Gremory, president of the Occult Research club, her vice-president Akeno Himejima and Kiba Yuuto, also a member of the club. He usually ate with them whenever they had lunch in the cafeteria, they talked about all sorts of things and he found it easy to laugh with them.

He smiled to himself. 'I'm glad I managed to make some good friends here.'

*RING*

The school bell sounded, signalling the end of the day so Tsukune packed his things away. Rias and Akeno had already left for club activities the previous period, so he walked straight out of school.

Walking through some suburbs towards a bridge, he noticed Issei Hyoudou walking in front of him. "Issei!" He called, making Issei turn around. Tsukune jogged forward to catch up.

Issei held up his hand in greeting. "Yo Tsukune, how's it going?" He smiled as Tsukune fell into step beside him.

Tsukune smiled "Not bad, not bad."

He had met Issei Hyoudou the third day at the academy, finding him rather unstealthily reading porn during a lunch break. He was known to be part of the perverted trio in the school, a group of three boys known to be open perverts. He wasn't as bad as his friends though, he thought peeking on women was dishonorable. Porn was okay because the women actually show their bodies willingly.

At least that was his opinion.

The sun slowly descended on the horizon as they chatted about various things and Issei complained about how unfair it was that he was friends with 'Rias-senpai'. Tsukune noticed a girl walking towards them, but he ignored her until she actually stopped in front of them and he sensed a strange power from her. It was no threat to him, being weaker than Rias, but Issei was with him and as a human he might be in danger.

"Um excuse me, are you Hyoudou Issei-san?" She asked Issei. She had long brown hair and a athletic body. She was quite pretty, but she wasn't on Rias' level by a long-shot.

Issei blinked. "Yeah, that's me, can I help you?" He said politely.

The girl appeared to sigh in relief. "My name is Yuuma Amano and I was wondering if... maybe you would go out with me?" She asked timidly.

Tsukune and Issei both had their brains shut down at that, this girl wanted to go out with Issei?

"Umm, we've just met, Yuuma-san. Would it be alright if we got to know each other a bit?" He requested hesitantly. Issei may have been a pervert, but he didn't want to take advantage of this girl.

Yuuma seemed to be disappointed, but nodded anyway. "Yes! There's a new movie out, we can go see it tomorrow if you want?" She proposed.

Looking at Tsukune who shrugged indifferently, Issei accepted. "Sure, but me and my friend Tsukune here were going to go to the arcade on tomorrow, would it be alright if he came with us to the movie?" He asked.

"Oh! I didn't see you there Tsukune-san!" The girl exclaimed in shock, only just noticing him. Tsukune hung his head in depression, a dark cloud over him while Yuma giggled in embarrassment.

'What am I, a wallflower?' He whined internally.

Yuuma looked hesitant. "I was kind of hoping it would just be the two of us..." She said slowly.

Issei just scratched the back of his head sheepishly. "Oh, I'm sorry Yuuma-san, I already made plans with Tsukune, if you want it to be just me and you then we can go a different day?"

Raynare, disguised as the girl in front of them, inwardly narrowed her eyes at the deviation to her plan. 'Tch, this means I'll have to kill two humans.' She thought. She didn't have time to go another day, so it looked like she would have to let this other human come as well. Not being a sensor meant she couldn't feel Tsukune's power.

She smirked. 'Maybe this way Kalawarner will get some action. Her complaints about being bored are really getting annoying.' Eyeing Tsukune up and down appreciatively, she frowned slightly. 'Why couldn't he have been the one with the sacred gear? At least that way I would have enjoyed going out with him. If I had known he would be coming beforehand I would have brought Kalawarner and made her be Issei's date.'

"I suppose that's all right." She said, before snapping her fingers in realization. "Is it alright if my friend comes with then? I don't want to be outnumbered!" She proposed cheerfully.

Tsukune and Issei agreed, and let her go past them and she cheerfully skipped away. They carried on walking for a while in silence, Tsukune trying to figure out what her power was as it felt completely different to anything that he had ever sensed before. Issei was still in shock, never having expected anyone to be the one to confess to him rather than the other way round.

Tsukune was so out of it he didn't sense the lizard like creature watching them from a tree.

-o0O0o-

[One hour later, Katarea's office]

Having listened to her familiar's report, Katarea narrowed her eyes. 'So this fallen is targeting Issei-san because of his sacred gear? Azazel wouldn't bother ordering his subordinates to use a date as a cover if he wanted to kidnap him, he would do it outright. And to kill him he would just get them to slit his throat while he slept'. She thought. 'Either way, Azazel isn't allowed in my territory without permission and we're allies at the moment.' She sighed.

She sat at her desk, twirling a pen as she thought about it. She looked to the chess board on the corner of her desk, one side filled with red pieces but the other strangely empty. She absently observed the way the pieces glowed slightly in the darkness of her office.

'A rogue group perhaps?' She mused. 'It's not a large one like the Khaos Brigade, I would have heard about any activity from groups like that. It must be a small group with little numbers. Probably one of those groups devoted to the Governor-Generals.' She thought amusedly, smirking to herself.

These pathetic little groups of fallen were so devoted to the leaders like Azazel and the other Governor-Generals that they tried to get into their good-graces by performing independent tasks that supposedly demonstrated their devotion. Some were no threat, being glorified fan-clubs. Others, like this one seemed to be, flew off the handle and sometimes went against orders even from the people they're devoted to in their quest.

A few had even attacked supposed allies that they thought their masters were only associated with out of pity, thinking the allies were unworthy. 'Most groups like that were dealt with though. It seems this one wormed their way under the radar.' She stood, walking over to the chess board.

She picked up one of the pieces, thinking of its future significance. 'I won't accept them trying to kill Tsukune-kun as collateral.' She thought determinedly. 'After all...' She smirked.

Putting down the queen piece, she walked to the window and looked out at the moon.

'He's my cute future servant.'

-o0O0o-

Tsukune and Issei waited at the park for their dates, Tsukune recognizing the need for a friend as what it was. 'I wonder if the friend isn't human either.' He mused. If she was human then it probably meant that the first girl was just a Yokai that wanted to date a human, it wasn't unheard of. 'I hope that's the case, some Yokai are strange enough to want to date Issei. He also deserves to have a girl in his life. He may be somewhat of a pervert, but at least he's honorable.'

"I wonder if her friend has nice oppai too." He heard Issei mutter.

'Scratch that.' Tsukune sweat-dropped. 'I'm pretty sure that any girl he dates would suffer from his personality, Yokai or not.'

"Hiya-!" He heard a familiar voice shout from behind them. "Wha-Hey, what's up Kala-chan, why'd you stop?" Turning, he and Issei went to greet Yuuma and her friend.

[Moments earlier, Kalawarner's POV]

Kalawarner was nervous. Not because Raynare was dragging her on this stupid 'mission' of hers, that just pissed her off. She couldn't say no though, the blackmail she had on Kalawarner could get her in serious trouble with Azazel.

No, what she was afraid of was the huge presence she was sensing. It was dark, deep, and threatened to taint her very soul with its power. She knew she was powerful, being a virtue-level fallen angel with eight wings she was equivalent to an upper tier High-class devil. But even so, the power she sensed was a lot more powerful than her.

And they were heading straight for it.

She wrung her hands. "This isn't a good idea Raynare." She said, hoping to leave.

Raynare rolled her eyes. Kalawarner had been acting strange ever since they got near the park, and it was starting to piss her off. "Deal with it, we need to kill this kid to get rid of a potential threat to Azazel-sama."

Kalawarner sighed, sometimes she wanted to just kill Raynare. They continued on along the cobble path, closer and closer to the dark power in her senses. Coming to a large grassy clearing with a fountain in the middle, she found it empty except from the two guys standing a few meters ahead of them.

That power was coming directly from the taller of the two.

"That's them." Raynare said quietly.

Kalawarner snapped her head towards her incredulously. 'She can't be serious? How did she not sense the power coming from that guy?! We don't stand a chance!' Raynare's sensing abilities had always been poor, but to not sense the power coming from this guy she had to be a moron.

Raynare started forward, her expression falling into her happy-go-lucky Yuuma persona. "Hiya-!" She called, waving and smiling brightly. Kalawarner reached forward and pulled her back in alarm. "Wha-Hey, what's up Kala-chan, why'd you stop?" The two guys turned towards them, and Kalawarner immediately clocked the red eyes and ethereal appearance.

She knew what he was. 'Vampire.' She thought.

[Normal POV]

Turning, Tsukune saw Yuuma and what he assumed to be her friend, a very attractive girl mind you. She had a figure rivaling Akeno but was taller in height, being around 5'10". She was wearing a thigh length dark blue summer dress, over which she wore a white cardigan of the same length. Her hair was an eery but beautiful dark blue that fell to her thighs and she had gorgeous brown eyes.

Tsukune was seriously starting to wonder why all the girls he met were so attractive. However, he narrowed his eyes when he felt the power coming from her. It was a lot more than Yuuma, being a bit more than Rias' as well but still not a threat to him.

She was currently frozen in place, grabbing Yuuma's shoulder to prevent her from going any further. She was staring at him, fear evident in her eyes. 'It looks like I'll have to erase Issei's memories later.' He sighed.

"Kalawarner-" Raynare started in confusion.

"Raynare, we need to leave. Now." She said.

Raynare paused when she referred to her by her real name, signalling that something really was wrong. She turned back to the two guys when she heard a thump, and was confused when she saw Tsukune knock out Issei and catch him before he fell.

"Yare yare, I had hoped your friend was just a Yokai wanting to date Issei. Or is that true and you are just afraid of me, hmm?" He asked calmly.

Raynare snarled. "Don't compare me to the likes of those filthy beasts, human."

Tsukune frowned. Kalawarner sensed that he was about to do something, and thinking he was going to attack, she immediately shed her disguise, revealing her eight coal black wings. She vaguely heard Raynare yell at her as she formed a light spear in her hands and sped towards Tsukune as fast as she could go, wanting to catch him by surprise.

Tsukune sighed, his eyes narrowing into slits and the speeding Kalawarner appearing to slow almost to a crawl. As she came within two meters of him, Tsukune suddenly appeared in front of her, grabbed her face and smashed her into the ground, creating web-like cracks in the ground and causing her to fade in and out of awareness.

Raynare stood shocked, then immediately shed her disguise, revealing her own set of four wings. Her clothes also morphed into some sort of weird bondage outfit, causing Tsukune to sweatdrop. She backed away nervously, but was stopped when a voice behind her made itself known.

"Don't move, fallen." Turning, she was met by the sight of two girls, a red head and and a black haired girl. She also silently noticed that they completely outclassed her figure, just like Kalawarner.

"Rias? Akeno?" Tsukune said, surprised.

Rias blinked, looking past Raynare to see Tsukune. "Tsukune-kun? What are you doing here?" He pointed down, she looked and saw that he was holding another - eight winged - fallen to the ground by her face. 'Judging by the spiderweb like cracks on the stone, he put her there hard.' She realized.

"Did these fallen attack you?" Akeno asked worriedly, also surprised to see Tsukune, but she was also blushing at the sight of Tsukune with angry slit eyes and dominating a fallen angel.

"Fallen? Is that some kind of Yokai? And this one attacked me as soon as she saw me. She probably realized I was dangerous." He said, referring to Kalawarner.

Rias and Akeno glanced at each other, he was very casually holding down quite a high-level fallen angel, and that meant he had to be very strong. They couldn't sense it before but now that he was actively using his power they could sense the vast amount of energy contained within him. They both widened their eyes. 'Who could have thought Tsukune was so strong?' They both thought.

"She's a Fallen Angel, they're Angels who have committed crimes in the eyes of God and have been cast out of heaven by him." Rias explained.

Raynare formed a light spear and threw it at Rias, who dodged out of the way. "Don't talk like I'm not here, you shitty devil!" She snarled. Despite her attitude, Raynare was nervous. She may be arrogant, but even she knew that Kalawarner was stronger than her and was only doing what she said because she had blackmail. Now here was someone who took her down like she was a child and to add to that there were also two devils who seemed to be his friends.

Tsukune contemplated Rias' words. 'Fallen Angel? Devils? God? I didn't think God would allow things like vampires and other monsters to exist if he himself really existed.' Tsukune thought.

No-one noticed the woman underneath him slowly raise her hand to his chest.

"Well anyway, we shoul-ugh!" He grunted, stumbling to his hands and knees over the prone fallen. He coughed blood onto the face of the woman, and looking down he saw that she had impaled him straight through the heart.

Rias and Akeno widened their eyes in shock. "Tsukune!/Tsukune-kun!" They shouted, rushing forward.

Kalawarner held her hand out towards them, forming a light cage. 'That should hold them for a minute.' She winced as pain shot through her head, the blow she received earlier still effecting her. She let her arm fall, and looking back at Raynare she just gave her a glare.

"Run." She said simply.

Raynare nodded, flying into the air. She hesitated, before turning back to Kalawarner.

"Thank you."

Kalawarner growled. "Save it! I didn't do it for you, you fucking brat! Just leave before I change my mind and either let those two out or come after you myself!" She shouted with wide eyes, the blood on her face and caked into her hair making her quite the scary sight.

Raynare nodded hastily, a scared look to her. She decided to fly off before she regretted it.

Kalawarner sighed, knowing she was going to regret saving Raynare later. Looking into Tsukune's eyes, she let the regret she felt show itself. "I'm sorry. I had to." She said quietly.

Tsukune stayed silent, but grunted as his arms lost strength, causing him to fall directly on top of her. 'Dammit. That strange spear is interfering with my healing; and it doesn't help that I haven't drank blood for more than two weeks now.' He lamented. Not drinking blood wasn't out of some futile sense of resistance to vampire nature, Tsukune just found himself so preocupied with a semi-normal life that he just didn't get around to it.

That was the problem with having been human before turning into a vampire. While it was good that he didn't gain any vampire weaknesses, it also stopped him from deteriorating when he didn't blood, so he never noticed any of his powers get weaker from the lack of it unless he consciously assessed his own Yoki reserves.

Kalawarner let the light spear in his stomach dissipate, stroking his hair to comfort him in his - what she assumed to be - dying moments. She didn't even know who this guy was, but as a subordinate to the Azrael, the Archangel of Death who had died in the war with Hell, she was very close with the aspects of Death. So as she thought he lay dying, she didn't move. She let him lay his head on her large bosom (despite her blushing as a result) and didn't try to move him off her.

"Oh my. What an intimate moment." A cold voice stated. Kalawarner almost choked on her own tongue at the power that blanketed the area and in her mind what she thought had to be the entire town. It was immense, being even greater than the boy on top of her was. They sheer weight of it pushed her to the ground, threatening to snuff out her lifeforce in an instant.

Looking lifting herself up slightly and turning her head to try and see the new addition to the clusterfuck that was this FUBAR operation of Raynare's, she felt the blood drain from her face. She let her head fall to the ground, tired of all the weirdness of today.

"Fuck my life." She groaned out.

"Yes, that would be the appropriate statement for your situation." Was the curt response.

There, standing in all her glory was Katarea Leviathan, 'Reaper of the Godai Maou'. And she was not happy.

"So here I am, coming to rescue my cute future servant when I sense him in trouble, only to not five minutes later sense him taken down by a sneak attack and his friends trapped in a cage of light." She said nonchalantly, as if talking about the weather. Waving her hand absently, the cage of light that had been made to hold Rias and Akeno burst with what Kalawarner swore were screams of sorrow.

She felt sweat drip down her brow. 'That was my strongest barrier and she just blew it away like soggy tissue paper...'

Rias rushed over to Tsukune to tend to him, only to step back in shock. What should have been a more than half a foot wide hole straight through his heart and out his back was now gone, not even a scar remained, just a patch of skin that was slightly more red than the rest. As if all he had done was scratched his back.

Lifting him from the prone fallen angel who didn't object, as if she had the choice. Kalawarner gaped when she saw the smooth skin through the hole in his shirt. 'Did I not even...' She trailed off. '..no. I definitely impaled him through the heart. He should be dead, and yet he hasn't even got any apparent injury.' She widened her eyes as she realized what happened. 'He was weakened in the first place.' She realized. 'If he had been at full power I wouldn't even have come close to succeeding at that surprise attack.' She thought finally fell unconscious due to shock and the still painful blow to her head.

Katarea smirked, keeping her immense relief to herself. "Well, fortunately, it looks like Tsukune-kun is quite resilient." She said. "Bring him here Rias." She ordered.

Hesitating, but complying once she remembered that Katarea was a Satan, she quickly moved Tsukune's unconscious form to lay before her.

Katarea leaned down over him, whispering to him quietly enough that Rias couldn't hear. She vaguely heard the words 'do you accept?' and that's it. Whatever she said, Tsukune nodded his head, revealing himself to be awake. Holding her hand out, Rias watched as a red queen chess piece manifested itself, making her widen her eyes and gape in shock.

"Tsukune Aono, you have accepted the offer to become my queen. As my second in command, you will rule beside me and be my instrument of power, unshackled by the burden of lowly tasks. Now, live for my sake as Tsukune Dracul!" She intoned, finishing with a raised voice. She pressed the piece to Tsukune's chest, and it was absorbed and assimilated into his being.

Katarea stood, walking over to Kalawarner.

Stroking her chin, she pondered what she should do. "Now, what am I going to do with you." she muttered. Looking over to Tsukune, she smirked as an idea came to her. She knelt down and turned Kalawarner over on her front, and in pulling down her shirt revealed her smooth, toned back. Channeling Yoki into her forefinger, it glowed with an eery green aura. She then lowered it to the center of Kalawarner's back, and didn't even flinch when Kalawarner grunted at the pain even as she stayed unconscious.

She drew the seal she desired, smirking in success as after she finished it was absorbed into her. Standing back up, she dusted herself off and thought about all the great things she would accomplish with her first servant.

*Plink*

Katarea froze, not wanting to acknowledge the quiet but dull thud of what a small piece of wood on concrete meant.

-o0O0o-

[Shuzen Castle, Vampire Territory]

Akua stretched as she stood waiting outside of the Suzen family castle, a pre-prepared teleportation circle awaiting her.

"Are you sure he's nice?" She heard a timid voice ask.

"Oh, for the love of- Yes I'm sure Kahlua! I'll be fine!" A voice grounded out in frustration.

Akua sighed at her sisters, Kahlua had been bugging Moka with the question since they decided to do this. "Shall we go then?" She asked.

Moka turned to her, more beautiful than ever and nodded. She quickly strode past Akua, standing on the circle. "Hmph. Of course I'm ready. Can't you see I'm waiting on you Nee-san?" She smirked.

"But Moka-chan, you only just stood on the circle, Akua's been out here for fifteen minutes." Kahlua said in her usual air-head fashion, standing on the stairs.

Akua facepalmed at the comment as she joined Moka, and they each had the same thought as the circle glowed a bright red.

'Kuoh Academy, here we come.'

End Chapter

A/N:

Finally! I hope you enjoyed the chapter after the long wait, I've had to rewrite this chapter so many times due to data corruption from changing hardware in my computer it's not even funny.

Just in case you think so: Tsukune wasn't beaten by Kalawarner, he was sneak-attacked. Taking into account him not drinking blood for two weeks, along with instinctively holding back because of their power levels, it allowed her to briefly slip by his defenses.

Also, the passive AT field didn't work because she formed the spear with her palm directly against Tsukune's skin.

PLEASE read the last two lines before it changes to the Shuzen Castle carefully, some people seem to have not understood the final part of the scene. THINK, what is small, made out of wood and has just been assimilated into Tsukune? That's the thing that Katarea heard fall onto the concrete.

NOTE: Actually, sod trying to skirt around it. In true Redwarrioroflight style: TSUKUNE IS NOT A SERVANT!. He didn't willingly accept becoming a servant in the way you think he did. If he had I would have just added in Katarea asking him if he wanted to be her servant.

So again: TSUKUNE IS NOT KATAREA'S SERVANT. Though someone is a servant to him. Who that is should be obvious.
