♘Rosario+vampire: Year of the Dragon

Prologue

Standing on what he assumed was a stage, he watched the chaos before him unfold, a multitude of colorful horses argued with one another about him, one party stating that he had done a heroic deed, the other countered, saying that he was a monster, that he enjoyed it. He didn't know what it was, but he theorized it was something considered evil among the bright equines, but most of all he noticed six horses standing in front of him, they seemed familiar to him, but he couldn't remember why, and far in the back he saw two larger horses, one white, the other dark blue.

"Why did you do it?" The yellow one with pink hair asked.

"He had to, or else he would be dead!" The the purple one yelled.

"Yeah, well they were put in the hospital because of him!" The blue one with rainbow hair yelled back.

"He did what he had to, ah know ah would," The orange one with the stetson said.

"Well apparently he enjoys it too much then," The white one with purple hair said.

"But he didn't mean to, i'm super sure!" The pink one exclaimed.

"Enough!" Came a call from the back, it was the tall white horse, apparently it was time to pass judgement, "We have made a decision," they turn their full attention to him, "You have been found guilty, and as such you will bear the full weight of the punishment, you are hereby exiled from this world, and you shall be cursed to return here only when we deem necessary, if at all in your lifetime, begone!"

"NO!!!" Screams the purple one as he was hit by a massive light, "SPIKE!!!!"

~~

Waking up with a start he jumped out of his bed, he took a fighting stance as he scanned the room, all he saw was his nicely decorated room, until he reached the door, in the doorway stood a small figure, having red hair, pink eyes, and holding a stuffed dragon while dressed in night clothes. He dropped his stance and beckoned the small figure over, slowly she approached him, he noticed that had forgotten to fully change from his workout sweats, it had been his final test to see if he had truly mastered all his fighting skills, leaving him exhausted.

"Can't sleep?" He asked as she sat upon his lap.

"Yes, mom and dad haven't come back from the business trip yet, mom always sings me asleep," she snuggled closer.

"Alright, i'll sing for ya Trinity, but it won't be as good as moms','' He said, then sung a song he knew since he was little. (imagine him singing it)

Soon she had fallen asleep, he put her down on his bed and sat near her, continuing to sing as he fell asleep as well, memories of his happiest and saddest moments playing out in his head, and before he fell asleep entirely he heard his sister mumble something, and it filled his heart with happiness, "G'night Emerald, I love you."

~~

Awaking again he found that Trinity was no longer in his room, he got up and pulled the curtains open, sunlight flooded through and illuminated his room, making him cringe and blink the sleepiness away. From behind him he heard the door open and someone enter, then he heard them speak, " Good morning young master Spire, breakfast is ready sir, and your father has returned, bearing some news he wishes to give you."

"Helpful as always Miguel, thank you," Emerald smiled as he began to dress in his usual attire, a nice relaxed shirt and pants.

Once he finished dressing he turned and walked out of his room, entering the wide hallway, some of the maids were talking as they cleaned, but stopped when they spotted him. All of them gave a polite bow, and to their surprise they got one back, they each felt a little better and returned to the work at hand, allowing him to continue down the hall toward his fathers' study. As he approached the door Emerald felt a wave of unease wash over him, he didn't know why, nearly as soon as he knocked he heard from inside, "Come on in."

As soon as he did a crushing bear hug greeted him, his father Igneal Spire held his son tight, "Um, hello father," Emerald managed to wheeze out.

"Oh, It's marvelous to see you again my boy, absolutely wonderful," Igneal said, unaware of his sons distress.

"Father," Emerald gasped out.

"Yes my boy?" His father asked.

"Air!" Emerald managed before nearly passing out.

"Oh dear! My apologies, I had forgotten my own strength," He released his son, who gasped and choked for air.

"Thank you," Emerald then got up, "You wished to speak with me father?"

"No fun, always down to business," His father sighed, "Yes, I wish to inform you that you are now enrolled for Yokai Academy."

"Truly?" Emerald asked.

"Yes indeed," Igneal answered back.

"Yes!" Emerald always wanted his high school experience to be at the school his parents spoke so highly about, "Thank you father."

"Of course son," Igneal said, "After all, what better place to learn than there?"

"I promise to make you proud," Emerald was in a half daydream, then his stomach grumbled.

"Yes well, better get some breakfast first," His father said, getting a shy smile from him, "To the dining hall then."

~~

In the dining hall were three other family members, little sister Trinity (you already met her), mother Homura, and big sister Rose, all sitting and eating breakfast, conversing over the days plans and other such things. But as soon as Emerald and Igneal walked in, all conversation stopped, they watched as both of them walked over and took a seat, then they switched to conversing with the two men, asking questions and talking, like the family Emerald so loved.

"So Em, I heard you got enrolled in Yokai," Rose said, staring at him with her ocean blue eyes and brushing her dark blue hair.

"Yes I did, and I look forward to it," Emerald smiled.

"Quite interesting," Homura gave him a warm smile that made her purple eyes shine, twirling some of her black hair.

"You expect a good experience when you know nobody there?" Rose said, antagonizing him.

"Will not matter, I know I will be fine," Emerald said.

"So sure of yourself already?" Rose smirked and sat up, "How about I fix that."

"Enough, both of you," Igneal raised a hand.

"Yes father," they both said.

"I think it's cool that big brother gets to go to that school," Trinity smiled at Emerald.

"Indeed," Emeralds mother said, she was never one for talking.

"Bleh, I don't like the idea of school starting after this weekend," Rose huffed.

"I find it as great news," Igneal said, giving his wife a smile.

"Yeah, yeah, I got stuff to do, later," Rose stood up and walked off.

"And I really should prepare for the school year," Emerald bowed and left the room.

Both Igneal and Homura turned to the last daughter, who looked up at them, "Oh yeah, I have training!"

"Well," Homura said, watching the little girl run off.

~~

Emerald was in the training yard of his home, practicing moves and honing skills, off to the right his little sister was practicing with his grandfather who, at the age he was, trained many generations of the family. The old man showed him during each lesson how inadequate he was, then when he completed his final exam something happened he never expected, the old man said that he was proud.

"Emerald," A voice caught his attention, he turned to see that his grandfather had appeared next to him, "I wish you good luck in Yokai, you may need it."

"Thank you, i guess," Emerald was unsure if the old man was again saying he was inadequate, or if he wished him the best, but as he turned to ask he noticed that his grandfather was back over by his sister, silent as usual. Returning to his workout he attempted to keep focused, but his mind kept wandering back to the coming year.

~One weekend later~

"Couldn't have got less sleep," Emerald yawned, all dressed in his uniform and walking to the bus, the morning had been a rush, each member of his household had some pressing matter. Looking back at the mansion he knew he would miss it, but he was ready for a school year.

The bus stopped right as he made it to the street, opening so he could enter, once on board he noticed three people on the bus, two in the very back, then another one seat up on his own. Emerald decided to sit by him, the guy had dark brown hair and light brown eyes, and the two in the back had white hair and blue eyes, the other had deep green hair and chocolate brown eyes. The lone kid answered his phone as the bus started moving, "Hello?"

He slowly walked forward as they entered the tunnel, the guys phone call cut out, he hung it up with a confused face.

In the very back the two others were chatting nonstop and laughing, Emerald walked over to the seat the lone guy sat in.

"May I sit here?" Emerald asked.

"Huh? Oh sure," the guy said moving over a bit.

"My names Emerald, good to meet you," Emerald said trying to be nice.

"Um, my names Tsukune," he said smiling, "Nice to meet you."

"My names Gon!" the dark green haired guy said leaning forward.

"And i'm Killua," the white haired guy introduced himself.

"Well gentlemen," The bus driver spoke, "Now that you know each other, you would be better off sticking together, this school can be hell, so watch your back."

Looking out the window they saw another world, completely different from before the tunnel, the door of the bus opened and they stepped out.

"Cool," Killua smiled as he looked around.
