Chereads / The Vampire of Kuoh / Chapter 3 - Sunrise

Chapter 3 - Sunrise

With Dio

"The shop has disappeared, so there's no reason for me to stay here any longer"

He begins to walk away when he remembers the girl from earlier

Ah, I almost forgot about her she was clearly watching me, but for what?

Who sent her?

And do they know about the mask?

Judging by her uniform she attends Kuoh academy

As do I

We'll meet each other at school then that's where I'll get my answer

"Heh"

I'm getting a bit tired so I best head back home

He takes a deep breath gets in a running position and darts off

This speed is wonderful, I wonder what else I can do

I'll rule the world!

He continues to run home, not noticing the rising sun behind him

With Rias

A flash of light brightens the room Rias is residing in

"Koneko, you've returned"

"Buchou we have a problem"

All playfulness vanished from Rias if her Rook; arguably the strongest in her peerage says there's a problem then best believe it's a big one

"What is it Koneko, are you hurt?"

"No Buchou, it's the person I followed"

"Oh yes, did you figure out what it was"

"I did, it's a student that goes to Kuoh Academy"

Rias eyes widened, a student at Kuoh? How could she not have noticed? Who is it? Is he a threat?

"W-who is it Koneko"

"A student named Dio Brando, you mentioned him before Buchou"

Dio? I knew something was off about him

"Did you manage to find out what he is"

"He's not a fallen, he didn't give off any holy aura, and he can teleport"

"Teleport? With a magic circle"

She shakes her head

"He just disappeared in smoke"

"He threw a smoke bomb down?"

"No Buchou, his whole body just turned into smoke then it vanished along with him"

"H-how is that even possible"

"I don't know but there's something else Buchou"

"What is it Koneko"

"H-he called me…"

"Called you what? If he dared to insult a member of my peerage I swear to Lucifer Morningstar himself I will show him the wrath-"

She's abruptly cut off

"No Buchou not an insult, he called me "Feline Woman" "

"H-he called you that? Are you sure?"

"He said he could smell it all over me"

"I-is he a youkai?"

"Nuh-uh, he didn't give off any senjutsu"

"Then what could he be?"

"I don't know Buchou"

"I'll have to tell Sona"

Back with Dio

*creak*

The old door hinges creak as he walks inside his house

"Wow, you did a fairly good job at cleaning this up, scum"

I boney old zombie who was once Dios father kneels down in front of him

"Thank you, lord Dio, I'm unworthy of your praise"

"Hmph"

He walks into the living room and sits on the couch in thought

The mask, the shop, and that girl

It's all too coincidental

And that "thing"

He looks towards his former father now turned zombie

I cut off his head with a clean slice, but once I drank his blood he came back alive?

Can you even call that living?

What have I become?

Clearly, I'm not human anymore

But with that fact what am I?

And that girl, she gave off the smell of a feline

Does she too have powers similar to mine?

She also mentioned others, are they like me as well?

And do they reside in Kuoh academy?

I guess I'll have to figure it out once I get to that god-forsaken school

He looks out the window and sees the beams of light creeping over the buildings

It appears it is morning already

Guess I'll get dressed for school

He gets up and heads towards his room and just as he's about to head up the stairs, a beam of sunlight shines through the window informs of him

Not paying it any mind he continues walking and steps directly into the beam

"AGHHHHH"

"L-lord Dio, are you alright? What has happened?"

His former father asks his new lord in worry

"W-what the hell was that?"

The right side of his face is bubbling with blisters and some parts of his cheeks have third-degree burns along with his right hand it's also covered with blisters

"W-was that cause of the sunlight?"

The nasty blisters on his face and hand begin to heal completely returning his face back to normal

"T-the sun?"

He looks at the streak of yellow sunlight and stick his hand in it

Just as expected his hand immediately boils from the sunlight

"ARGH"

He yanks his hand back

"The sunlight, it hurts"

That doesn't make sense how could sunlight hurt me

Then everything clicks, his thirst for blood, the boost he felt when out in the nighttime, and now the sun affecting his body

"That's impossible, could I really have become, a vampire?"

Now that he mentions it, he moves his tongue around his mouth and feels his canines which have grown a couple extra centimeters

If that's true, and I have really become a vampire then so be it

"With this vampiric ability, it will be easier to fulfill my goal, heh heh HAHAHAHAHAHA"

"I REJECT MY HUMANITY, I SHALL BE RHE STRONGEST AND THE WORLD WILL BOW DOWN TO MY FEET"

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA"

He laughs like a madman and turns to his servant(father)

"Oi, scum"

He menacingly calls his servant

"Yes lord Dio"

"Go fetch me some sheets and cloth, I need to cover up these windows"

"Of course lord Dio"

He scampers off to fulfill his master's wishes

"If that girl and her comrades try to get in my way again, I'll slaughter them all"
