♘Rosario+vampire: Year of the Dragon

Chapter 13

Tsukune woke to a punch in the face, opening his eyes he saw Hunter standing there with a disapproving look, He rubbed his cheek as Hunter spoke, "You overslept, get going while you can still catch the first class."

"Oh right," Tsukune bolted up and got ready as quick he could with bandages on.

"You can take those off as the end of the week," Hunter said, pointing to the bandages.

"Right, thanks," Tsukune put on the last of his uniform before taking off out the door to school.

"That kid," Hunter sighed, disappearing with a sizzle.

~~~

Tsukune slowed his pace as he approached the school gate, others were giving him odd looks, like he killed someone, "Take a few nights to heal and everyone treats you like a freak," Mumbled to himself, he didn't bother listening to their conversations, he didn't care, but what bothered him though was that there was a student walking close behind him, black hair and green eyes, very dangerous looking.

"Something I know all too well," the student replied.

"Sorry, meant to keep that to myself," Tsukune said as the student walked up by him.

"Oh don't worry, I'm pretty sure I'm the only one who heard," He assured Tsukune, "My name's Bryan."

"I'm Tsukune," He smiled, not entirely comfortable.

"And I'm Miria!" A girl said from Tsukunes' other side, making both their hearts stop, "Too loud?"

"A little," Bryan shook it off.

"It was a good sound level," Tsukune tried to be kind.

"Nah too loud," Miria said, fixing her blond hair.

"Alright then, off to school?" Bryan asked, gesturing ladies first.

"Sure," gesturing him first, she smiled.

"Geez you two," Tsukune sighed and walked ahead.

"Wait up!" Miria called as she ran to catch up.

"Uh hey?" Bryan sped up.

The observers assessed them, they seemed to have fair power, even seperate, but that is not what interested the observer, what was interesting is what use they could serve with their powers.

School was rather uninteresting today, at least Tsukune seemed to think so, classes went rather good, no interruptions, lunch was nice and peaceful, no arguing or fighting, the only concern was that he didn't see any of the girls, sure he saw Emerald, Gon and Killua, Even Josh was there.

"Hey, anyone seen the girls?" Killua said what he thought.

"Now that you mention it, they weren't here today," Gon said.

"Actually, most of the girls weren't in class today," Josh spoke.

"Yeah, wonder what that's about," Gon scratched his chin.

"Why don't ya just ask?" Mirias' voice came from behind them, stopping all their hearts, "Too close?"

"Yup," Killua put his hand down.

"Kinda," Gon agreed.

"Just a tad," Josh said.

"I guess," Tsukune said.

"Yup it was," Miria agreed again, "So ya want to know why most of the girls weren't in class today huh?"

"That's what we wonder," Killua folded his arms.

"Come closer," she gestured as they spared an ear, then whispered, "heat week."

"Uh," Gon gasped, the others had similar reactions, Josh just shrugged.

"Yup, that would explain it," Josh began to walk off, the others sped up to keep with him.

"This doesn't worry you?" Tsukune asked.

"Not really, I have a place I can go to get away from all this," Josh smirked.

"Can I come?" Killua asked.

"Me too!" Gon raised a hand.

"Eh? sure I guess," Josh shrugged, "But don't act surprised."

"K" Gon smiled.

"You gonna come to Tsukune?" Josh asked, getting his attention.

"No thanks, I have work to do, catch you guys later!" Tsukune turned and jumped off a cliff, but when they went to check, he was gone.

"Strange that one," Killua said, the others agreed immediately, "So are we taking her too?" He pointed to Miria.

"Why not, she hasn't tried to rut us yet," Josh reasoned.

"True, but what makes you think she won't try?" Killua asked.

"It's better if I don't," Miria gave a weak laugh, "My, kind, get heat the worst, better if ya go without me."

"Aw come on, how bad could it be," Killua asked.

"We can track the one we want across a planet if we want to," She said, short and deadly.

"Yikes, well see ya after then," Gon smiled nervously.

"Sure thing, have fun!" Miria waved as she walked to her dorm.

"Now where is this place you spoke of?" Killua asked.

"Wait, did you see Emerald with us?" Gon asked.

~~~

Emerald was on a scouting mission, at the request of his friend Tsukune he was checking out the Festival stalls, he was searching for anything suspicious, or that gave off an odd energy, no luck so far.

"Hello," A soft voice called, he turned and saw that it was Twilight, "Anything I can help you with, you are searching for something right?"

"Uh, yeah, something out of the ordinary, something that might give off an unusual energy," Emerald said.

"Great, I know a spell that can help," Twilight focused, her horn glowing, they began to search.

"Nice," Emerald complimented.

"Oh thanks," Twilight blushed.

Emerald was about to say more, but his sense caught some thing, it felt malicious, he went over to the swimming club stall and peered in, something inside a bag was glowing a faint green light, "Hey Twilight I think I fou-"

Like a bullet Rainbow dash crashed down on his head, knocking him through the stall counter, out cold, "Phew, he sure is sturdy," Rainbow got off him.

"Rainbow what the hay!" Twilight yelled.

"You were taking too long Twi, so I got him," Rainbow smirked.

"You could have hurt him!" Twilight yelled again.

"Calm down, he's sturdy enough survive that, besides, I got him," Rainbow tried to lift him, "Oof, could use a hoof here."

"Fine," Twilight levitated him, walking away from the wrecked stand.

"No report yet," Tsukune said, checking his phone for the fifth time.

"Maybe your friend found nothing, or maybe he was attacked," Hunter said, scanning the surrounding mountain.

"You always say stuff like that," Tsukune scowled.

"Never rule out a thing until you know," Hunter threw a rock and looked down a rabbit hole.

"Something life taught you?" Tsukune asked.

"No, life taught me, 'If it's not one, it's the other," Hunter held a flashlight toward the rabbit hole.

"Oh, hey why are you staring at a rabbit hole?" Tsukune knelt down next to him to see.

"What you should really ask is, 'Why is there a rabbit hole on a solid stone mountain?" Hunter turned his head to Tsukune.

"Uh," Tsukune was at a loss, why had he assumed it was a rabbit hole?

"This seems to be a vent," Hunter examined it some more.

"For a factory or something," Tsukune asked.

"More than likely," Hunter agreed.

"How do we get in?" Tsukune knew they wouldn't fit.

"Just, knock," Hunter lightly tapped around the vent, causing cracks to grow around it.

The vent caved in and they both slid down a dark hole, the cave at the bottom was, actually not a cave, but a kitchen, expertly carved from stone, precise and smooth, the kitchen seemed to have been used recently, the oven and such were rather clean, and the fruit on the counter was still fresh.

"Tread lightly," Tsukune whispered.

"Indeed," Hunter agreed quietly.

"Who do you think lives here?" Tsukune asked as they silently left the kitchen.

*"Standard answer," Hunter replied.

"You think?" Tsukune was skeptical

"Could be, with this level of architecture," Hunter and Tsukune left the dining hall.

"That would be, unpleasant," Tsukune sighed, they were nearing what they believed to be the front door to this mountain house, but when they went to open in it they backed up, the door swung open and on the other side stood some thing that made them stop and stare.+

Moka was not very aware today, all she really got were fuzzy fragments of her day, she was trying, like all the other girls to contain herself within the dorm, but apparently that didn't work, she and many of the others were all over the male students, trying to satisfy themselves. Some of the guys didn't seem to mind either, but Moka was only passing them by, she felt herself searching, looking for Tsukune, her and Mizore, Kurumu, Yukari, and some other girl were on the hunt for Tsukune.

She felt like some animal on the hunt, she was getting closer, she could tell because she started to lose more focus, like her animal side was trapping her logical side.

Some mountain in the south barrier, that's all she knew, he was around here, the world began to grow lighter, but before she completely lost it, the mountains exploded, causing her to take control again, she looked in shock, then realized, she was in control, meaning Tsukune was....
