I do not own Rosario Vampire or any of the characters.

Damon smiled as the bus rolled to a stop. He was so beyond ready to leave the cold. He and Mizore had both returned to her home to assess the damage and to help rebuild. He had made sure to stay as warm as he could by building a scale igloo to sleep in with an eternal fire to warm him, but it was still cold. Before that, Damon had left Mizore with Ruby at the school and went home to Hell, taking care of several pieces of business.

Firstly, he created a council comprised of representatives from all of the other races in Hell, including two seats that were currently still empty for Kishin and Yasha, if they ever decided to accept his olive branch and return to their home without a war. Each representative was chosen by popular vote by their own race, allowing it to be fair, and all could be swapped out by their kind at any time with another vote, that way they didn't become more corrupt than they already were, and hopefully the corruption would fade. At the same time, he had also renamed all of the devil species as dragons, since that was what the rest of the world, both human and monster, thought they were anyway, and it would make it easier to eventually integrate with human society. Secondly, he split up Hell into territories that he passed out evenly to the other races. Since all of Hell was equally barren and uninhabitable to anything like agriculture, and having territory under a species control was, therefor, treated as little more than a measure of social standing, there was no arguing about who should get which territory, and the arguments about which races should get most were minimal. Thirdly, in accordance with the promises the Fire Devils had once made and then betrayed, the Succubi were raised to partner race finally, and were given a castle of their own, voted amongst themselves and chose Kurumu's family as the royal family since Kurumu had apparently become very popular among her race for being able to befriend the Fire Devil King. Damon assigned the Fire Devils he had scarred during the fight against Fairy Tail as the Succubi's personal guard, for which the scars became the symbol. Ageha agreed that in anything that actually required them to step in as the joint rulers of Hell, they would come to a compromise on, since they were able to do so without starting a war over what they wanted. Next, he used his memories leading all the way back to the first Fire Devils that revolted against the Yasha and Kishin to remember where the promises had been recorded, then found the ancient tome they'd used. He then used that to go down the list.

To the Vampires and Werewolves, he sent a single Fire Devil messenger to promise them his aid if they ever needed it in any matter that wasn't wiping out each other or any other race, unless that race had earned it, like a race that was entirely devoted to following in Alucard's footsteps. After both of them, he continued down the list of promises the Fire Devils had broken, correcting their mistakes as best he could. He also personally travelled to the hidden city of the Kishin, which they had believed was unknown to him, to extend his offer for peace and to welcome them back to Hell and their seat on the council. Then he went to the heads of the Huang and Miao families, as the main group of Yasha who still existed as more than individuals, to offer them the same, though he wasn't expecting them to return. Once he had finally finished acting like a king, after a solid two weeks of work, he finally returned to the school, Kurumu meeting him at the door to thank him for making her family royalty. He spent three days with Mizore and Ruby after being away for weeks. Then, he and Mizore had gone to her home to help rebuilt.

He and Mizore stepped onto the bus and the door closed, shutting out the cold, and Ruby's arms instantly wrapped around Damon, Ruby kissing him as though it had been months since she'd seen him, not three days. Once she pulled back, she tapped a finger against his forehead, the cold leaving his body instantly and he smiled, kissing her again before she turned and kissed Mizore as well.

"You're always so dramatic, Ruby," Damon sighed, walking past the pair and raising a hand in greeting to the others, almost all of their close friends present, including San, only Tsukune missing.

He sat down in an empty seat and after a moment, Mizore sat in his lap, wrapping her arms around him and pressing her forehead into the side of his neck, Damon smiling as the sting of her flesh made his head go light and his heart flutter, as always. He hoped his body never got used to her. Ruby sat beside him and they waited patiently for the last stop, Tsukune.

"Damon," the bus driver said as they drove. "I didn't mention earlier after the fight, but you did well. Both in fighting Alucard, and in looking after Tsukune like I asked you to."

"Thank you, sir," Damon smiled.

"Wait, what?" Kurumu asked. "The bus driver asked you to look after Tsukune? We all always assumed the Headmaster did. But why is the Headmaster Mikogami and the bus driver is sir?"

Damon chuckled. "Because I want to continue living, that's why."

Everyone stared at him as the bus driver chuckled. They all stared at him in confusion and fear before they finally stopped to pick up Tsukune. The bus driver gave him the option of returning or not, telling him that Mikogami wants him to be his successor, since Mikogami's decided to retire now that Alucard is gone, but warning him it won't be easy, since the human world is in the middle of protests against the coexistence between humans and monsters. As a precaution, Damon had assigned the lesser dragons to monitor the human cities, as many they could in small groups, to protect as many monsters as they could there in the event of a monster hunt, though under strict orders not to harm the humans in the process, just get the monsters away safely.

Despite the bus driver's warning, Tsukune stated that the school was his life, and that he'd never want to be anywhere else. then, as soon as he was on the bus, he was mobbed by his harem in an excited greeting. Damon chuckled, squeezing Mizore gently, Mizore doing the same.

Damon walked into the Headmaster's office and knelt as he found the bus driver present. Mizore hesitated before doing the same. The bus driver chuckled.

"There's no need for you to bow," the bus driver said.

"I beg to differ, Nurari," Damon said.

Mizore glanced at him, then at the bus driver, her eyes slowly widening. "Nurari?"

"A nickname Mikogami gave to me," Nurari said, gripping the bill of his hat and inclining his head. "Nurarihyon. But you can just call me whatever you like."

"No way!" Mizore breathed. "You're Nurarihyon? But you're a bus driver!"

"Exactly," Nurari grinned, lighting a cigar. "Who would have ever suspected the bus driver? I'd appreciate it if you'd not spread this around, by the way."

"Of course!" Mizore nodded.

"Good," Nurari smiled. "Now then, Damon, we have need of your services again."

Damon grimaced. "What for this time?"

"Nothing strenuous of bad," Mikogami assured him. "It's been about ten months since the battle against Alucard, and while things in the human world haven't escalated, they haven't calmed either. As such, we've hired Issa Shuzen to train Tsukune and get him as ready for the inevitable war against whatever remains of Fairy Tail as he can, as well as also getting him ready to take over for me."

"Good luck with that one," Damon snorted. "You'll have to do something about his naivety first."

"That's where you come in," Mikogami grinned. "You're going to help Issa Shuzen train him. You do remember how to be a cruel, unfeeling Fire Devil, correct? You've softened up even more since Alucard died and you reformed the social structure of Hell."

"I'd say I did pretty well with that," Damon said. "Also, you're welcome to retire there if you want. You can live in my castle, since I never plan to use it."

Mikogami chuckled. "No, it's fine. I like it up here in the sun. Anyway, Issa will be taking the first turn, and he should meet with you soon to test you as well, then discuss the training. And Mizore should be warned about Issa. There's a strong possibility his test will involve her."

"Thank you for the warning," Damon said. "I'd hate to be unprepared against Issa Shuzen. Failing a test of his would be...well. Thanks."

Mikogami nodded. "That's all we needed. Oh, and Ruby said she wanted to talk to you."

Damon nodded and he and Mizore left the office. They walked to Ruby's and stepped inside, Ruby's eyes lighting up instantly before she practically teleported to him, kissing him excitedly.

"I found it!" Ruby said the moment she pulled back.

"You..." Damon's eyes widened as he stared at her.

Ruby nodded, and Damon smiled, pulling her into a hungry, passionate kiss. Finally he pulled away and smiled widely.

"How?" Damon asked.

"I'll explain later," Ruby said. "But...are we going to...start right away? Or are we going to wait until you both graduate?"

"I want to start now," Mizore said, taking his hand. "There's nothing I want more."

Damon smiled, nodding, and kissed her. "We can start whenever you're ready, Ruby. But me and Mizore are probably going to start tonight."

Ruby smiled brightly and nodded. "Okay! I'll be by your room after work. We're lucky it's Friday, because we have all tomorrow to use."

Damon frowned. "How long is this going to take?"

"A few seconds to get in place," Ruby said, then winked. "But it lasts twenty four hours."

Damon's eyes widened before he grinned widely. "Then it really is a good thing it's Friday."

Ruby nodded and kissed them both again before they left.

Damon stared at the two women in front of him. Both stood before him as though awaiting him to inspect them, and both blushing slightly, as though they hadn't already done this a million times. Though, he supposed it was different this time. The shining gold spell seals shining from the skin of their lower abdomens was proof enough of that. It had a couple dozen tiny symbols spread around the inside of the first ring, then another ring, then two overlapping squares inside forming an eight-point star, and two rings of symbols inside of them, and there was a tiny fleur-de-lis-like symbol extending from the top and bottom of the seals.

"So, how does this work, exactly?" Damon asked.

"The seal will allow us to get pregnant with your child safely because it forcefully fuses our Supernatural Energies that the child would inherit from us," Ruby said. "With Fire Devils, the problem is that your Supernatural Energy is too potent, and the mother's energy is completely overpowered, so that regardless of who it is, or what they are, the result is a Fire Devil, and then the mother ends up dying. But with this seal, our energies will be able to combine properly, so we'll be able to have children safely."

Damon smiled widely nodding, and held his hands out, both girls taking one of his hands and joining him on the bed, each straddling a leg. He smiled, going back and forth between kissing each of them for several minutes before finally laying Mizore down and beginning to kiss his way down her body. Mizore smiled and turned her head to Ruby, who met her with a kiss, Mizore's hand moving to entertain Ruby until it was her turn.

Damon stood, stretching, and looked out his window, smiling as he watched Ruby and their daughter outside, their daughter practicing her spells. She was a prodigy, just like her mother. However, after a moment, her levitation spell failed and the special magic doll she was trying to learn to float around fell to the ground. She stomped her foot in frustration and huffed, exhaling a short tongue of flame that ignited the doll. Damon chuckled just as Mizore's arms wrapped around him from behind.

"How's she doing?" Mizore asked.

"She's a prodigy," Damon said. "But she definitely inherited the Fire Devil temper."

"She burned another one?" Mizore smiled knowingly.

"Yup," Damon smiled, then turned around, kissing Mizore. "How did you sleep?"

"Wonderfully," Mizore smiled. "He's having breakfast now, if you want to talk to him before you two go out to train."

Damon smiled, nodding and kissed her again before walking past her into the back yard where a dragon the size of a work horse was eating a steak the size of a small car, the result of Ruby having mastered an enlargement spell to be able to feed him until he learned to transform into a human like his sister. He swallowed the bite in his mouth and smiled happily at Damon. His white-blue scales reflected the sun brightly, and as he moved to take another bite from the steak, he accidentally inhaled some of the pepper on it and shook his head, face scrunching up before he turned his head to the side and sneezed, a massive blast of white-blue flames exploding from his mouth and washing over the ground before going out, leaving a massive, spiked ice formation behind. He grinned sheepishly and Damon chuckled, exhaling a jet of flames on the ice to melt them before walking over and hugging his sun around the base of the neck, his son tucking his had against Damon's back before returning to eating.

"Don't worry," Damon smiled, patting him on the side. "We'll get you transforming soon so that you can eat more food than steak."

His son nodded, agreeing around a mouthful of food.

Damon opened his eyes, feeling Mizore shaking him gently and looked around, seeing the inside of his dorm room, and Mizore and Ruby both laying along his sides, still naked and still with the seals glowing on their abdomens.

"Good morning," Mizore smiled. "You seemed like you were having a good dream."

Damon smiled. "Yes. The best."

Mizore reached up, kissing him for a few seconds before sitting up and moving to line him up with her already-drenched slit, Ruby's fingers finding her clit instantly. "Are you ready for round two?"

"I was ready when you two said you needed rest," Damon said. "Also, I think I remember this being round eight."

Mizore laughed, shaking her head, then slipped her hands into his as she took him into her tunnel, moaning. "I love you Damon."

"I love you too," Damon smiled.

She leaned down to kiss him as she began to move her hips, and he kissed her back happily, his dream returning to his mind. He couldn't wait to make it real.
