Recently, I've been looking through the Naruto and Rosario Vampire crossovers and I've realized that there aren't that many fics that have Mr. Sasuke Uchiha as the main character, so I decided to change that with this. So ladies and gentlemen, for your reading pleasure, I bring you: Awakening of a Devil. Enjoy!
(7/13/14): Updated so I took out a lot of the grammar issues
Prologue Start
"B…Big Brother….?" The voice of the young boy weakly spoke as he slowly walked over to his dying older brother. The teen laid there, seemingly motionless as he drew in very shallow, deep breaths. The usual ponytail that the boy's brother had was ruined and his hair spilled all over the ground. Blood was coming from his mouth and his body was severely damaged.
"Itachi…." The boy called out to his brother again, with tears steadily falling down his face. His voice seemed to reach out as Itachi responded by looking over at the boy.
"Sasu…ke…." Hearing Itachi's voice got a smile out of Sasuke.
"Itachi!" Sasuke exclaimed. "You're gonna be okay. Let's go, mom's waiting for us."
The elder Uchiha brother unsteadily raised his arm and brought his index and middle fingers together and poked his younger brother in his forehead, something he habitually did, and with a strained smile spoke his final words: "Sorry…Sasuke….but this is it…." With that, his arm fell lifelessly on the ground and his breathing stopped.
Sasuke's onyx black eyes widened in shock as the tears rolled his cheek again.
"Itachi…" he silently called his brother's name again.
No response…
"Itachi, wake up. We have to go." He said while shaking his brother in an attempt to wake him.
No response once again.
"Itachi….Itachi….ITACHIIII!"
Sasuke's eyes shot open as he awoke from his slumber. It happened again: he had a dream of that day. Looking around his surroundings, he realized he was in his room, which aside from his bed, dresser, desk, and closet filled with his clothes, was rather naked. He didn't care for decorating his room; he was perfectly fine with the bare essentials. Running a hand through his spiky black hair, he got out of bed and walked up to the photo that stood on his dresser; it was a photo of him and his family.
There a younger version of himself standing between his father Fugaku and his mother Mikoto, while his older brother and idol, Itachi stood right beside Mikoto. He and Mikoto were sporting smiles while Itachi and Fugaku both had a rather stern look on their faces.
The now fifteen year old, Uchiha sighed. Those were happier times in his life. But now, happiness was something that he rarely felt. Not since that day seven years ago…
"Sasuke! A feminine voice called out from behind his door. The teen snapped out of his trance and looked over the door. No doubt that was mother telling him to get ready for the day. The black haired young man strolled over to his door and opened it, revealing his mother in her usual attire of a dark purple blouse and a red skirt with a yellow apron worn over it. Her long black hair was tied up in a ponytail, signifying that she had just finished cooking.
"Sasuke, breakfast is ready. Come down and eat." She told him.
"Right, I'll be down in a sec mom." Sasuke said. Mikoto nodded and headed downstairs. Ten minutes later, the brooding teen walked into the kitchen with black cargo pants and a gray T-shirt on. Grabbing a chair, he sat down and grabbed his eating utensils to enjoy his unusually large breakfast which consisted of a stack of four pancakes, oatmeal, eggs, three strips of bacon, 2 biscuits, and a bowl of fruit.
"This is a pretty big breakfast, what's the occasion?" Sasuke asked. His mother only smiled brightly and said: "Consider it to be a celebration. Today's your last day before you leave for Yokai Academy." She told him.
"Oh…right…" the Uchiha sullenly responded. He remembered. It was a month ago, when his mom came in and showed him the application for Yokai Academy. After a lot of coaxing from her, she got him to sign the application along with the size for his uniform. A few weeks later, his uniform was mailed to him.
Hearing the gloomy tone in her son's voice, Mikoto placed her hands over her sons and gave him a warm smile. "Sasuke, going to Yokai Academy will be a great experience for you. You'll get to make lot of friends, and have unforgettable memories." She told him.
Sasuke returned his mother's smile with one of his own. "I believe you mom." He said. "It'll be really interesting to see the school where you and dad met." Truth be told, Sasuke had no real interest in making memories or anything of the sort at Yokai Academy. Personally, he felt as though going to this school would interfere with his ambition. The only reason he agreed to this was to make his mother happy. As much as she tried not to show it, Fugaku's and Itachi's deaths hurt her as much as it did him. Since then Sasuke had been doing everything in his power to keep his mom smiling.
He could care less if he didn't make any friends at this school. He only had a few friends to begin with…ONE actually; and he hasn't seen that dobe in nearly three years. His thoughts came to an end as his mother's next words brought him back to reality.
"Oh, that reminds me, you have a letter." She said as she handed him the envelope with a red swirl on the back. Taking a break from his piece of bacon, the Uchiha opened the envelope and read to himself:
Yo Duckbutt! I hear you're heading to Yokai Academy soon. I wish I could see you off, but me and my mom are still traveling the world. Recently, we came across a village that rains ninety-percent of the time. How the hell that works, your guess is as good as mine. Anyways, I'm keeping this one short. Here's a good luck trinket I won bought with the money I won from gambling in one town. I really got a lot of flak from my mom for that, but that's nowhere near as bad as to what she did to pervy sage for letting me do it. I shudder every time I think about it. Eh, I'm rambling now, so I'll just end it with this: make me proud at Yokai Academy Dattebayo!"
From,
The #1 Hyperactive, Unpredictable Fox
P.S. Don't be so moody when you get there, make some friends. And talk to some girls! I worry about you sometimes man…
P.P.S. I'm not saying that's bad, if you're pitching for the other team, more power to ya. It'll finally give me a reason to stop bugging you on the girl issue.
The black haired teen scoffed at the final sentence of the letter, although the smirk on his face wouldn't leave. He could always count on his friend to brighten up the mood. Reaching into the envelope, he pulled out a small frog attached to a keychain.
'Right….this is gonna bring me good luck." Sasuke thought to himself with a roll of his eyes. Stuffing the trinket into his pocket, he resumed his eating. Not too long after, Mikoto sat down with a plate of her own and began eating herself.
"So Sasuke, do you plan on training today?" Mikoto's question was answered with a shake of the head by her son.
"No, I plan on just jogging today, then getting ready for tomorrow. I do plan on watching your favorite show with you tonight."
"You hate that show…" Mikoto said with a raised eyebrow.
"Yeah, but it does make for good mental training so to help resist torture." He quipped.
"Hush you." Was the response of the smiling parent.
The rest of the day went unhinged. Sasuke finished up his breakfast, took care of the dishes, went for his afternoon jog, came back and began packing all his essentials for Yokai Academy. Later on in the night, after showering, Sasuke joined his mother as they treated themselves to tomato sandwiches (His favorite), and tuned in to The Love and the Loveless, Mikoto's favorite show. As the Uchiha thought, this show was absolute torture; it was so over the top with its drama it was actually kind of funny. Though looking over to his left, he saw just exactly how into it his mother was as she was completely teary-eyed. After an hour that seemed like an eternity, he bid his mother good night as he wanted to turn in early.
Back in his room, Sasuke took another look at the family portrait. Specifically at his brother Itachi. If he were here today, he would've been twenty-one, graduated from Yokai, if he had gone. Though, knowing how much of a genius Itachi was, he probably would've graduated even earlier.
A small smile graced Sasuke's features. "I wonder how you would've done in Yokai, big brother." He thought to himself as he hit his light switch and drifted off to sleep.
The next morning came a little too soon for Sasuke's liking. After taking care of his hygienic problems, he walked into his room and proceeded to put on the school uniform (which was a green blazer jacket, a white long-sleeved collared shirt, a red neck tie and light brown pants) that hung on his door. With the suitcase that contained his clothes and other personal items in one hand and his book bag slung over his arm, he walked downstairs where his mother waited with a camera and proceeded to snap away.
Sasuke looked away embarrassed. "Come on mom, do you really need to do this?" The teen asked.
"Of course!" Mikoto replied. "I want memories of this. Besides Kushina wants to see how you look."
With a sigh, Sasuke was under the assault of his mother's camera for five minutes. Afterwards, Mikoto took a good look at her son.
"You look very handsome, Sasuke." She complimented.
"Thanks." He responded. He saw his mother had looked at him with a bright smile and said: "They'd be proud of you."
The young man smiled back at his mother and said: "I hope so."
"I'll miss you Sasuke." Mikoto told her son with tears starting to form in her eyes.
"I'll be back for holidays and breaks mom." Sasuke reassured Mikoto.
"I know, it's just that it's going to be strange without you here every day." The dark haired woman said while wiping away her tears. Sasuke went up to his mother and hugged her which she gladly returned. With a deep breath Mikoto broke the hug and said: "Okay, you've got to get going. You don't want to miss the bus."
With a nod, Sasuke walked out the door and began to make his walk towards the city.
"I love you sweetie!"
"Love you too!"
"Promise you'll write!"
"I will!"
"And call when you get the chance!"
"I will!"
"And try not to pick fights with anyo—"
"Mom, I got it!" He told her. With a final wave, Mikoto closed the door, allowing Sasuke to make his trek. Twenty minutes later, Sasuke arrived at the destined bus stop and proceeded to wait for the bus. Luckily the wait didn't last long as a bus came and pulled up in front of Sasuke. The door opened and the bus driver spoke:
"All aboard for Yokai Academy."
Prologue End
And there we have it folks, the prologue for Awakening of a devil is complete. Now to address a few things:
1) I know some people might say Sasuke was OOC here, but I wanna counteract this by saying one of the reasons Sasuke became the way he is was because his parents (along with the rest of his clan) was murdered by his brother, the person he idolized, pretty much leaving him alone in the world. I personally think that if one of his parents had lived, Sasuke would have someone that he could go to and open up to. So in this fic, Sasuke's mother is alive and she, along with a select few people, get to see the more softer side of Sasuke. Don't worry, come next chapter he's gonna be the same broody loner we all know and love.
2) Sasuke is indeed a monster in this fic and what kind of monster he is and what his abilities are will be explained in the fic (Although the title of the fic is kind of a dead giveaway xp)
3) As you could tell from the prologue, yes, there will be other Naruto characters appearing in this, but they won't overshadow the Rosario cast (Hopefully)
That's pretty much it ladies and gents, hope you all enjoyed! Leave a Review and if you enjoyed it why don't you favorite the story!
