Author's note: I was inspired to write this fanfiction after reading My Snow Girl by lord of the land of fire. Check it out it's amazing! KEY: "" = dialogue, ''= quotes from earlier. **=sound and italics=thoughts and spaces between dialogue=change in who's talking. XXXXXXXXXX=time skip. Just because I'm telling you this doesn't mean I think you're stupid, sometimes it gets confusing while reading a fic that doesn't tell you what is what. Thanks and enjoy.

I wake up to my alarm clock blaring in my ear. I fling my arm around trying to hit the alarm clock with my face still in the pillow not wanting to get up. Finally my hand finds the alarm clock with a loud *smack* and finally the loud beeping stopped. Slowly I pull off the blankets and lay on my side of my bed contemplating to get up or not. Finally I decide to get up with my ears still ringing. I walk over to my closet and open it up to put on my school uniform. Today is my first day at Yokai Academy and I am so nervous. I leave my room and look outside through my window into the thick foggy of the morning and see a bright yellow bus pull up. I open my front door with everything I need in a big duffel bag and head out to the bus. The busses doors opened with a lot of resistance like they hadn't been oiled in years. The driver looks over at me as I walk into the old creaky bus. The driver had glowing white eyes under his blue hat. His hat had falcon pin in the center. He had a half smoked cigar in his mouth and it had a yellow paper ring in the middle of it. He also had a small black mustache that curved ever so slightly like an old fashioned cliche villain. He had jet black hair and a blue suit with a white dress shirt underneath, he also had a cyan tie and white gloves on. He looked back to the front of the bus as I walked to the back. The doors closed with the same loud *pshhh* sound and he started driving off before i'd even sat down, the lurch of the bus launched me into the back seat and made me smack my head on the back of the seat. I looked around and noticed that I was the only one on the bus. I must be the first stop or maybe it's a really expensive school. My parents did end up finding that acceptance letter after someone dropped it so who knows? I think shrugging my shoulders thankful that i'm even able to go to highschool after failing my entrance exams. My phone buzzes while i'm reminiscing and I reach into my pocket, pulling out my light blue flip phone I flip it open as we went through a pitch black tunnel. "...Hello… Hello?... Hello?" I asked confused but all I could here was a constant beep, I close the phone as the bus exited the pitch black tunnel to reveal to what looked like a whole new world. It had blood red water that went as far as the eye could see. It was decorated with skulls and gravestones everywhere with plenty of dead trees. The bus doors opened and I walked out still alone and the bus driver turns to me

"I'd watch your back if I were you kid, this is one scary-ass school" he says as the bus doors closed and the bus takes off. I look around and see a scarecrow with a pumpkin head, a black and red cape, and a sheet of paper attached to it with 'Welcome to Yokai Academy scratched into it. I start walking on an old beaten up path that was cluttered with skulls. They were all over the trail, they were on the sides, in the trees. Wow, this looks like an old fashioned horror movies. I thought laughing a little as I walked by.

XXXXXXXXXX

Some time passes and I hear someone yelling from behind me but I don't understand what they were saying. I turn around to see what was happening and I see a girl with flowing pink hair, glowing green eyes and a silver rosary around her neck that had a huge ruby in the center of it, she was riding a bike, she was also wearing a school uniform. I leaped out of the way just in time as the bike went zooming by at blinding speed. I sigh as I get up Well I guess I should take that creepy bus driver's advice and watch my back I think as I now nervously continue down the old beaten up path. The skulls seemed to be looking at me as I walked along the path which gave off a new creepy and scary tone in the almost dead forest.

Finally I get to Yokai academy after around a half hour of walking. Looking at it It looked more like a huge gothic church rather than a school. I stared up at it as I kept walking forward, holding the admission papers in front of me as I walked. I bumped into something and I looked down to see what I bumped into was a really cute girl. She had light purple hair and dark blue eyes that sparkled like gems in the sunlight. I noticed that she wasn't wearing the normal school uniform, instead she was wearing a white long sleeve t-shirt that hung at the ends of her shoulders, the sleeves were dark blue. She also had a short plaid skirt and purple and pink striped leggings on.

"I'm so very sorry" I say quickly "I wasn't paying attention to where I was going, I am so so sorry." I say bowing apologetically.

"Don't worry about it" she replied. Then I noticed that she had a yellow lollipop in her mouth.

"I'm new here"

"Same, but today is just for the freshman to come and learn about the school and where their classrooms are."

"Well hi i'm Tsukune Aono, you wanna be friends since we are both new here?"

"Sure, my name is Mizore Shirayuki by the way." We both walked into the weird gothic looking school.

XXXXXXXXXX

I went to my homeroom which was easy enough to find, the teacher's name was Shizuka Nekonome who seemed to have a cat tail. Must be a furry or something I thought as I sat in the back left corner of the room. Mrs. Nekonome started taking attendance and when she called Mizore's name she walked in and sat down in the seat to my right and didn't do anything to show that she was here. Mrs. Nekonome kept taking attendance as we all took our seats.

The rest of the day was just us meeting our teachers for a few minutes before heading to the next class. All my teachers seemed ok besides my gym teacher, he seemed a little fishy to me and I couldn't figure out why.

XXXXXXXXXX

The next morning I leave the dorms 20 minutes before school started. When I finally get out of the crowded first floor I looked around to see if I could find Mizore anywhere in the crowd but with no luck at all so I started to head to school alone.

"Good morning Tsukune" someone said from directly behind me. I jumped up and quickly spun around to see that Mizore was behind me staring at me.

"You scared me, where did you come from?"

"Oh, sorry." she said innocently

I blushed and looked away I've never really talked to girls much

"It's fine" I say but by the time I looked back she had disappeared. Now where did she go? I thought walking the rest of the way to homeroom alone and sitting down near the back left corner. Mizore came in just before Mrs. Nekonome started rattling off names. Up on the chalkboard was the word rules written in bold white chalk.

"Here are the rules for this institution." She started "Ehem, number one: you can't show anyone your true monster form…" she continued. Pff monster form, what is this? I think shaking my head "I am sure that you all know the reason for this institution. It is so that you can fit in with humans in the human world." she said which made me remember what the bus driver had told me 'I'd watch your back if I were you, this is one scary-ass school' And now I knew why why he'd said it. Why didn't he tell me it was a school for monsters! Wait he probably thought that I was one too. Immediately after Mrs. Nekonome finished talking I saw a kids hand go up.

"What if we see a human, can we just eat them." he said slithering his s's. With this I put my notebook in his direction trying my hardest to stay calm. My body locked up and started thinking it wasn't real. My body still shivered a lot. What have I done? I'm gonna die! They want to kill me!

I thought shaking so much I felt like an earthquake hit the school. "That's not possible since all students and staff are monsters, there's also a barrier to keep out any human so one could never even be able to get in here so there will be no eating eachother" By now I was terrified and my whole body was shaking as adrenaline was pumping through my body.

"Are you feeling ok?" Mizore whispers as she leans close to me "Tsukune you seem as though you are sick because you are shaking and seem to be sweating a lot." She said putting her hand to my head. Her hand was as cold as ice but warmed up instantly. "You don't seem to have a fever." The bell rang and I left as fast as I could. She's a monster? She seemed so nice, like a normal girl. I need to get out of here! I think speed walking down the hall. Everyone here is a monster, her, him, everyone. every person I thought looking around the halls. They all look like normal people.

XXXXXXXXXX

I was walking to the exit when I got this feeling like I was being watched. I am out of here, this is way too scary for me! I left through the front door and started to walk quickly through the old path i'd come from when I noticed a shadow from the corner of my eye, I started to pick up my speed. There's someone following me! I just need to act calm, all I need to do is make it to the bus stop then i'm safe. I slowed to a regular walking speed and opened up my cell phone. I tried calling my cousin but noticed there was no connection. Are you kidding me, no connection! Why of all times is now the time I don't get connection!? Then I remembered I would have to do another year and try the entrance exams again just have a chance to get into another school. It's better than dying! I thought when I hear a familiar voice from behind me "Tsukune are you leaving?"

A shiver went up my spine as I jumped around trying to stay calm. I saw that it was just mizore sucking on her lollipop with her head slightly tilted to one side.

"Well um… it's a long story"

"Well I really do want to be your friend." She said as if reading my mind.

"Well how come you left me when we were walking to school?"

"I didn't, I was just in the shadows"

"You were in the bushes? Why?"

"I was stalking you, but why are you leaving?" she says glossing over the salking part as if it was normal

"You're a monster right?"

"Yes, aren't you?"

"Ah… yeah of course" I say putting my hand on the back of my neck nervously. Oh god what have I done now! I'm so screwed. "This place is a bit too scary for me, I'm going back to a human school"

"Isn't that way scarier"

"If... if I were uh, human would you kill me?"

"Not all monsters want to kill humans" she said calmly "You're a human, that's why you're so scared." she deduced. "It all makes sense, it's all because you're a human, you ended up here on accident."

I was scared and took few steps back nervously seeing the bus start to pull up to the bus stop. I have to go now "No I uh..."

"Don't worry about it, I won't tell anyone, we're friends, remember."

"Ah... yeah" I stammered scared for my life

"If you stay you could like it a lot..." I looked at her thinking does she like me?

"Do you want me to stay?" I asked nervously.

"Ah..." There is a cute girl in front of me who seems to like me, so why not? This chance isn't going to happen ever again I thought as the bus driver opens up the doors. You know what, I'll stay, it's worth it I think as I get into the bus to give the driver some letters. Obviously Mizore was angry since when I turned around she had ice claws and the road was frozen into solid. "I was just giving some letters to the driver to take to my mom to tell her that I am here and ok since my phone doesn't seem to get connection, I swear I'm not leaving!"

"Oh, sorry" she said as the ice started to melt. Is that why her hands were so cold? I thought still afraid.

XXXXXXXXXX

Soon I was taking a nice warm bath and relaxing thinking about Mizore. Mizore was really cute and nice. But a little bit weird at times, She's so cool… (pun intended) even is she is a monster.
