  Reincarnation: a simple concept in the terms of the afterlife. When someone dies, the soul carries on and they are birthed again into new life, memories of their past life forgotten as their aging soul sets foot into the world once again. Of course, such a concept could only apply to those who believed in it, and you _______, were such a person with a strong belief in one life after another. So strong though, that you’ve never lost a single memory in over a hundred years. Why? You made a vow. A single vow, to a single man.

  Back in the late 1800’s, you had met a young man of the name Dio; Dio Brando to be exact. You were young when you met, and became first acquainted with him at a local boxing match held outside. He was of a rather bitter and hateful nature, running off pride and some people even saying he had no heart in his body because of his daily behaviours. But with you, he was always the kindest soul, as well as the most caring you had ever met. You never quite understood why, but it mattered naught because of the strong bond that fused between the two of you over time. It lasted on until you had both graduated from school and began a path to pursue in life. It was then though, that the most insane of events unfolded, and you could hardly believe in any of them at all.

  Dio had become a vampire, rejected his humanity, and basically became immortal. Then almost immediately after that, he was killed, burned down in a mansion with a deep puncture wound through his back and out his chest. You were emotionally scarred for weeks because of that, and you would have nearly gone mad if you sat in this sadness for any longer. But, you later caught wind of someone lurking about a small village, putting it and the surrounding area in a panic because of the undead that had begun to rise and attack the place. You responded to this immediately and set off for the said village with high hopes that Dio was the one doing this, and that he was still alive. Surely enough that when you got there, you ran into the most foreboding looking mansion possible and headed for the top floor at rapid speed, ignoring any of the zombies that gave questioning looks nearby, but didn’t bother to attack. Up there, you found the full army of the undead that people had been talking about, and this time, they did not hesitate to attack. You nearly got yourself killed by them until an order was issued for their halt, and you looked forward from the masses of rotting flesh to see that the one that gave the order, was Dio. From there, it was one of the most intense happy moments for both you and him. He, the creator of this massive and barbaric undead army, broke into a mad dash across the room to take you in his arms in the largest hug he’s ever given, and only one too.

  You immediately began expressing your worry and concern, wondering where the hell he went and how the hell he survived all of what happened to him, tears pricking at the corners of your eyes as you squeezed him tightly. In response, he told you how, why, and every detail in between about his life from the past few weeks since the incident; how many lives he’s taken, and what he has become. He followed his explanation with a short statement, telling you that you should go, and that such a kind hearted person shouldn’t be coexisting with a brutal man such as himself. He head the heart to tell you, and only you such a thing, for his care for you was that strong.

  No matter what he said though, and no matter how many he has killed, you shook your head no in refusal and made your statement that you were never leaving his side again no matter what, and right there on the spot, you confessed your feelings of love for him with all your heart. Even the heartstrings of a cruel person could jump at words such as that, and you then exchanged your first kiss with Dio at that moment, regretting nothing after you came al this way for him.

  He agreed to let you stay with him, his feelings for you taking over now, but only on one condition. That condition, was that you were to always remain a human. His words were: “You have to stay mortal. Keep your humanity for as long as possible. It’s what makes you, you. Unless there is a time where you absolutely have to, I must request you stay normal. Your beauty deserves to shine under golden sunlight instead of hiding in the shadows of darkness.” You nodded at that, accepting the condition as you vowed you would stay with him forever, no matter what he did to this world.

  From then on, Dio continued his ravage of humanity, keeping only you safe as you stayed with him in the abandoned mansion. Weeks had gone by now, and you still kept loving him no matter the cost. Then, there was one particular day that he came to you, a look of anger and worry mixed on his face. Before you could even ask, he told you someone was after his life for all he has done. It was the good hunting down the evil: him. He knew he would be in a fight soon tonight, and he couldn’t guarantee you his life because he knew his opponent was strong. You hugged him with hope and a single tear, praying for his safety in all this, even though you were immorally siding with the bad guy. A loud crash then came from the floor below and it drew you apart, him telling you to hide as quickly as possible. You obeyed and exchanged a kiss of luck with him before you hid yourself away in a back corner behind some dusty drapery, him turning his back to the door of his room in wait for his possible doom.

  As if any of the past events haven’t been damn near traumatizing enough to you, the next ones most certainly would be. Dio and Jonathan having one of the most unsettling battles you ever laid eyes on, and the odds were slowly tipping out of Dio’s favour. Though you were one to typically side with good, your heart chose to love the evil, only because of the good he treated you to though. And as to follow tradition, good always bested evil in the end, and Dio began disintegrating from Hamon as he was knocked off the balcony and sent plummeting hundreds of feet below. You let out a silent cry at the sight before you quickly ran from the building, tears streaming down your face. As you left, it was that moment that you changed your vow that you had said to him.

  You would stay with him forever in this world, until his everlasting form was destined to die by fate. You would follow him in the years to come, whether it took ten, twenty, or even a hundred years. You would reincarnate to find him, and live as much as your life as you could with him before that fated time, and you would let fate itself guide you to the time to see him again. From the moment you made that new vow in your heart, was the moment you could suddenly feel Dio’s life force. Even after all that, he was still somehow alive, a weak pulse in the depths of your own soul. But as long as he was, you would find him. You would follow the strings of fate until you could meet again.

  And that’s exactly what you did. You lived out the rest of your current life until old age and passed away in your seventies. After that, you found yourself reborn, memories of that life still remaining in mind as your body grew, looking identical to yourself in the past as you were given the same name each time as well. It was a miracle only you could have been blessed with because of the strong determination that your soul gave off. These lives were all lived with the blessing of knowledge, and the ever growing ability to sense Dio’s life force, as well as others as time went on. Dio’s life force was always weak and unstable, moving a lot before settling on a location that seemed to be deep down somewhere. You decided you wouldn’t go after him until his soul strength was back up again, until he was complete, because he seemed physically and mentally broken right now. You would wait until he settled somewhere, strong again. Your new purpose, was to wait for your time to see Dio once again, and you stayed true to that throughout all the lives you were given.

  You had gone through many lives. All of them, you had passed away fairly young; some being weeks after birth to death in your early to late twenties. You never made it to the age of thirty again. It mattered naught though. You still had all your memories, and each time you were reborn your gift grew stronger. You could see a person’s soul, and still always felt Dio’s specifically, noticing him always growing stronger. Whatever he did, he was rebuilding, regaining physical form and repairing that form, and soon even being able to manifest a physical form of his soul to stand by his side. A lot of people were beginning to do that in the growing day and age now, but you of course only cared about the strength of his, until fate would let you see him again.

  Soon, all of than now lead up to now in your present day, 100 years later. You were a solid 20 year old woman, as strong and as healthy as you were before. Your life force and soul perception had grown extremely keen, pulsing within your body as you grew closer and closer to Dio. In present, you sighed, staring down a large building centered in Cairo, Egypt at the peak of midnight. It was time to see Dio again. His soul pounded with life like yours in the spot he finally settled in over the past hundred years.

  Nonchalantly, you walked right into the front doors of this building and into the enormous entrance hall before you. Nowhere to go but up now you thought as you began to take the large, obvious staircase in front of you up, following it floor after floor until it was a much more narrow staircase that curved around the tower inside. A single room was left, relatively misty for some reason too, but you ignored it as you stepped inside. The aura of the place was very threatening, and you glanced around curiously until your eyes rested upon a tall, shirtless muscular form on the other side of the room, back facing you. Dio. It could only be Dio. And you stepped forward with hope, your heart aching.

  “Who the hell is in here and give me one good reason to not kill you.” Dio growled in the same voice you remembered, alerted by the sound of your footsteps.

  You stopped advancing and gulped, breath still shaking even after all these years of growing strong. “D-Dio… It’s me, _______.” You finally answered with a relatively quiet voice.

  “_______? Bullshit. She existed over a hundred years ago. I left that woman broken after what happened to me. She’s gone, and I left her alone after she surely thought I was dead. How dare you claim to be my century old love! How do you even KNOW that name?! Who do you think you are you stupid-!” Dio began to rage, turning around to confront you. Upon turning around though, his speech was cut off and his eyes widened as he seen your appearance that went with the voice he heard.

  “I knew that name because it really is me, Dio.” You replied, tearing up slightly.

  “Oh my- __-_______. Is that really… you?” He asked, still staring at you in shock.

  “Yes, it is. _______, the lover of Dio Brando, a vampire who nearly lost his life but built it back up in a hundred years’ time.” You recited, a smile reaching your face as you finally knew Dio had always remembered you.

  “Oh god _______ it is you.” Dio whimpered, the threatening aura leaving the room as he took a short run over to you and wrapped you in his arms, almost crying as he lifted you off your feet. “How… How is it you’re here? Did you…”

  “I never set a finger on any stone mask. I kept my humanity as I promised. What happened was I was continuously reincarnated, same name, same body, and same memory for a century. I vowed to stay alive to be with you again, and I have. I’ve been blessed with this gift, as well as soul perception. I could always feel your life force, so I always knew you were alive, and I’d keep reincarnating until I could find you again.” You explained, letting tears fall from your eyes.

  “That’s, that’s incredible.” Dio commented, squeezing you tighter.

  “I know. And now that I’ve found you, my cycle of rebirth is over. My goal has been met, and I wish to stay with you forever.” You elaborated.

  “God, you’re truly a miracle ______.”

  You smiled at that. “Thanks, Dio. But now, I have one request for you. One that… goes against something I promised you.”

  “What’s that _______? After all these years, I think I’d be willing to do just about anything for you, no matter what.” He reassured.

  “I’ve kept my humanity for over a hundred years. I’ve died countless times. I know life, death, and the afterlife like the back of my own hand. After all this, it’ll never happen again, as my goal has been met. No matter how many times it happens, death is still scary to me, and now, I’ll grow old and die again, only this time I won’t come back. That’s what scares me the most. So I ask of you… Could you… Take my humanity from me? I want to give up my humanity and spend an eternity with you.” You asked, still hugging close to his bare chest.

  “_______... After all these years, doing such an amazing thing, yes… I can do that for you. I want to spend centuries more with you, under the glow of the moonlight.” He accepted.

  You cried tears of joy again. “Thank you. The sunlight was getting hot and boring anyway.” You commented as a joke, smiling.

  “Of course.” Dio laughed in response. “But with you, I want to do it a special way, unlike the armies I’ve created. Shoving my fingers into your neck just isn’t right.”

  “A special way? How so?” You inquired, pulling out of the hug too gaze up at him.

  “Like this; the way I’ve been wanting to do something for the past century.” Dio began, looking down at you.

  With that, Dio leaned down and gently kissed you on the lips, pulling you close. You both hadn’t kissed another man or woman in all those years, saving yourselves with the hope that you would see each other again someday lying in your hearts. For his still known brutal nature, he was still the gentlest being you had ever met. You couldn’t have picked a better person to devote your life to. He was so caring, hands at your waist as he caressed your form, taking in all the beauty that you still had, you doing the same as well, hands latched around his neck. You had longed for the day you could hold him again; to kiss him, and to stay with him.

  In another instant, Dio had gently bit your bottom lip and opened a small wound to make it bleed. You winced slightly as the metallic tang of blood filled your mouth, noticing him bite his on lip too to open a wound. His vampiric blood would now flow into your wound and change your genetic makeup to give you an eternal life with him through the sweetest method possible: a kiss.

  Once the kiss had gone on for a good few minutes, Dio let up on you, and both of your minor wounds instantly healed. Staring at each other with love filled eyes, you both smiled with satisfaction.

  “You’ve already got fangs now _______. It suits you~!” Dio commented, noticing your little fangs through your smile.

  You paused to feel them with your tongue, chuckling at the new feel. “Thanks. I’ve always wondered what is was like to be a weirdo.” You joked, poking his nose.

  “You’re welcome. Now, you can spend that eternity with me, just as you wished.” Dio remarked.

  “Finally.” You whispered, hugging him again. “Quick question though. I told you how I survived all these years, but what about you? You were nearly dead with a weak life force for so long.”

  “That’s a good story to tell. So, I nearly did die back then, but I severed my head off last moment. I found a new body later, and regenerated from there. I took the body of Jonathan Joestar, the single man I’ve ever respected. This body is mine now, and is why I stand before you today. I regenerated in a coffin underwater for all those years to wreak havoc on the world once again, and to wish for you too.” He explained.

  “Wow. You’re a real trooper.” You smiled, punching his shoulder. “That’s good though. I can finally be with you again.”

  “And no one will attack us ever again. I plan to create an army using normal people so they can walk in daylight. I’ve recently created something called a flesh bud. I’ll use it to control the minds of people that refuse to join my side. They’ll protect us, so I can stay with you forever.” Dio told you, looking at you with loving eyes.

  You chuckled a little and leaned up to kiss him once more.

  “Thank you Dio. Thank you for waiting for my reincarnations. Thank you for still loving me. Just thank you… And I love you.” You said.

  “I love you to _______. Forever and an eternity.”
