Chapter 1: Naresome (The Romance Starts)

Green grass and open plains. That is the scenery he is used to. The smells of fresh wind blowing across the gently swaying grass in waves. The shadows cast upon the ground he lays upon in the balmy afternoons. The feel of the dirt under his feet as he walks.

High in the mountains of East Japan, just west of Tokyo, Tsukune walks in the vast plains of Mount Fuji-san. He feels the loose gravel and the tiny tremors produced by the volcano. He takes a deep breath of the cool breeze making its way toward him from the east. He lets his silver hair whip around and his silver eyes take in the scenery.

He loves to take walks along the plains, to take in the feel of the earth and feel the wind on his face. He takes it all in from the cool 30°c (around 85°f) to the Aokigahara Forest, which hides the entrance to his people's greatest city. He loves the way he can look up at the top of the mountain and feel little and insignificant.

A bump and a lurch brings Tsukune out of his dream. He realizes that the bus that he is riding on has stopped. He gets up and makes his way toward the front and a strange man with a cigar.

"Don't kill too many here. The Head Monster won't like that."

Tsukune stops on the last step. "I have no intensions of killing anybody or getting into a fight for that matter. And even if I get into a fight, I have to stay in human form, so I doubt I will be getting close to killing anyone."

Tsukune steps off the bus and finds himself in a desolate region. There is no grass, no cool breeze. Not even leaves on the trees. Everything around him is dead, gone, decaying. The sun is sulking and heavy instead of bright and motivating. The only birds are the carnivorous crows that scavenge anything it can get its beak into. Everything in this place reeks of despair and depression.

"I just got here and I'm already missing home. How am I going to last 4 years?"

He lets out a sigh and begins the long walk towards a far off building that looks like it should be in a museum from the dark and creepy architecture. He passes through a grave yard and can't help but pause.

"They even bury people here. No wonder this place smells of regret and death." He is about to move on when.

"Please get out of the way! I can't stop!"

Tsukune extends his youki out just enough to find out that a low class monster is hurtling right at him.

'Oh shit! I got to get out of the way or grab hold of that bike! Wait, I'm supposed to act human and a human would just get hit or move, but I think I will try out getting hit.'

He sighs and keeps a tab on the girl as she gets closer.

"Move out of the way! Move please! AAAAAHHHHHHH!"

Turning around just in time to see a girl in pink hair, Tsukune allows himself to get hit full in the chest. Controlling his fall, he carefully (but trying to make it not look like he is) maneuvers himself so that the girl will land on him instead of the ground. They both land on the ground with an "OOF!"

Tsukune find his arms instinctively wrapped protectively around the girl. He lets her go rather quickly and the girl gets off of him. The immediate thing about her is the enormous amount of bubblegum pink hair. It is on the floor when she is sitting on the ground, and he judges it to be about mid thigh to knee length.

"Are you ok?" he asks her.

She raises her head and Tsukune is immediately stunned by how beautiful she is. He could lose himself in her emerald green eyes. Her skin is a shade paler than his, but it just adds to her. She smells like wild strawberries and something else he can't identify, but all he knows is that he could be addicted to it.

"I'm sorry. I lost control of my bike on my way here. You see, I have anemia and I didn't have time to get breakfast this morning. Are you ok?" Her eyes are full of concern, but something was irking him.

"Yeah, I'm fine, what about you?"

"Oh, I'm ok. My name is Akashiya, Moka Akashiya. What's your name?" She smiles revealing two perfect rows of pearly white teeth and two very pronounced canines.

'Her canines are very big. If she is what I think she is and I need to find out fast.'

"My name is Aono Tsukune. It's nice to meet you." He smiles back and just lets off as small bit of youki as he can manage, lest she detect him using it.

"Um, would you like to be friends? This is my first year here and I don't know anybody."

'I can sense some youki off of her, but it is strange. It's almost like it is being restrained. I do see a Rosary on her neck. There is only one species of monsters that can restrain youki with an object like that. Vampires. Time to confirm it.'

"Sure, we can be friends. This is my first year too. Hey, is this a school for special people? I mean, I didn't even have to take a test to get in. My dad… he…uh… found an application…uh… in the…street. It was…uh… dropped by…uh… a… a… a monk! Yeah, and my dad just happened to pick it up and sent me here."

"Oh, you don't know? This is a school for monsters. Like me for example, I'm a Vampire."

'Ha! I knew it! I wouldn't mind a friend or two, but I have to keep her from drinking my blood. If she does then she will know exactly what I am and blow my cover.'

"You say you are a Vampire, but you don't look like one."

Moka grabs the Rosary off her chest and holds it up for him to see. "See this? If this seal were to ever come off, I would turn into a scary Vampire, but so far, no one has been able to remove it." Moka puts the Rosary back down and looks down to the ground and fiddles her thumbs and biting her lower lip nervously.

"So, do you like Vampires?" Moka asks quietly.

"Well, I can't say that I've ever met a Vampire before, so I don't not like them." He rubs the back of his head nervously.

"Oh, ok." Moka starts leaning forward, her eyes half closed. As she gets closer, Tsukune starts to blush at how close she is getting.

"Uh, Moka-san, what are you doing?"

Her eyes spring open and she flies back about 2 feet.

"I'm so sorry! I almost bit you! I'm so hungry and you smell so good, I lost control over myself!" She looks away bashfully.

'So cute! How can I not be her friend?'

Tsukune is about to ask if he can get her something at school to curb her hunger but a bell rings for off in the distance.

"Oh no! Freshman orientation is starting. We have to hurry!"

Moka looks at her bike. Tsukune also looks and doesn't know how, but her bike is beyond repair as the front half of the bike is wrapped around a tree.

"I guess we are walking."

Tsukune is sitting the far back corner of classroom 1-3, right next to the window, which he is currently staring out of. He and Moka had arrived just in time to find seats in the very back of the gym turned auditorium. The homeroom assignments were posted at the back the gym and he lost track of Moka in the crowd.

Not paying attention to any of the students, he is daydreaming about his home and wondering about his parents. As his thoughts turn to his dad, he recalls the conversation he had with him right before he left.

"Now Tsukune, you must remain in human form. Not even a partial "

"But why dad? If Yōkai Academy is for monsters, then why can't I at least let my friends know what I am? I don't have any intentions of getting into power struggles or fighting, but lying to my friends seems wrong."

His dad smiles at him. "If you can hide your true self from monsters, then you can fool any human. I went throughthe same thing at the Academy, but the first day, I got into a fist fight with a Minotaur and I had to partially transform to keep from being killed. Let's hope you have more luck than I did.

"Plus Yōkai Academy is a dangerous place. Our species have no equals in strength except Vampires. If you reveal your race, then get prepared to fight the entire school. Most male kids, and some adults, are very egotistical. If they know you are a stronger race, they will try to beat the shit out of you to try to get an ego booster. If you want to avoid that, then you need to fly under the radar."

"Remember, there is a watcher at school. If that person discovers what you are, then you can't live in the human world for 100 years before you can retest. That is how not many races know about us. Just relax and act like a normal kid."

'I see his point. If I can pull the wool over monsters, then I can blend in seamlessly with humans. And I definitely don't want to fight every ass who thinks he can beat me just by the size of his ego.'

"Good morning class!" a voice cuts through his thoughts.

Tsukune looks up to find a blonde woman with what looks like cat ears poking out of her head.

"I'm your homeroom teacher Shizuka Nekonome! I'm sure all of you know this, but this is a school for monsters! The purpose of this school is to teach monsters to coexist with humans. And as such, you are to keep in your human form at all times and you are never to reveal your monster type to one another."

Tsukune had expected this little speech as he had gotten the same thing from his parents, just in different words.

"Why? Can't we just eat them and rape their women? Wouldn't that be better than trying to live like them? They think they are so smart and powerful, but they are just as weaker than the weakest of the Yōkai."

"Oh yeah, great idea. Piss off the most numerous sentient species on the planet and have them hunt the Yōkai all down. Great plan there genius." Tsukune says with his eyes closed and his arms crossed.

"Who said that? Come on, speak you worthless piece of shit! Show your face to Saizou Koyiya!"

"I did. There is no reason for me to hide. There is a reason that we are here and you are a prime reason why. Youth and ignorance don't go well together. Humans may be weaker individually than the weakest of the Yōkai species, but get them into a group and organized, they will whip your ass in a heartbeat. But you wouldn't know anything about that would you? All you ever do is fight one at a time and probably surprise them."

The classroom door opens and Saizou's response is cut off as the classroom suddenly is buzzing with excitement. Phrases like "wow she is HOT!", "would you be my girlfriend?", and "wow, she is the hottest girl I have ever seen!" were issued from all the males in the room but one.

"Excuse me. Sorry I'm late, I got lost after orientation."

Knowing that voice, Tsukune looks up to see the pink haired girl from before.

"That's ok, just find a seat." Ms. Nekonome says.

Moka looks around the room and spots Tsukune and a convenient desk open right behind him. She runs over and tackles him. "TSUKUNE! Were in the same class!" If he wasn't up against the wall, he would have been taken down to the floor by the sheer force she put behind the hug.

"I guess we are," he says weakly, rubbing the back of his head. This gets him glares from every male in the room and he blushes slightly.

"Uh, Moka-san, could you let go now?"

Moka instantly lets go and takes her seat and homeroom continues.

'What a first period. I make an enemy of the bully and now I am the envy of every male in the Academy.' Tsukune thinks while literally being dragged around by Moka. Moka drags him around the school commenting on how old and full of character the school is. Being dragged around by the prettiest girl in the school gets him death glares from the entire male population, to which he sighs and shrugs it off.

The next day, Tsukune walks to school when…

"Hey you. I am talking to you boy!"

Recognizing the voice, Tsukune stops and sighs. 'Damn, I may have to reveal my true nature on the second day, not as bad as dad, but still pretty bad.'

"What do you want? I'm busy walking to school." Tsukune turns to look at Saizou, one of the local bullies.

"What's with the superior attitude. You know what you smell like, one of those puny, worthless humans! I should crush you right now!"

Saizou raises his right arm and punches at Tsukune, who doesn't even flinch. Tsukune watches and waits an eternity for the punch to go past him. With a deafening smash, Saizou smashes the concrete wall behind Tsukune causing a good 4 foot gap in the middle.

"If you want to live, I suggest that you never talk to Akashiya Moka ever again!"

Tsukune releases the breath he hadn't realized he had been holding. The group of onlookers all gape in awe at the smashed wall behind him.

'That could have gone worse. I still could have handled that better. If only I were allowed to show even my first phase, I would wipe that smirk right off his face faster than he can say "oh shit"'.

At the entrance to the school, Tsukune spots Moka. Completely disregarding Saizou's words, he greats her.

"Good morning Moka-san."

She turns and nearly tackles him to the ground. "Good morning Tsukune. How did you sleep?" Tsukune notices her face nearing ghostly white.

"It was ok. It's not the bed at my house, but I can get used to it. What about you, you don't look so well."

"Oh, that's my anemia. I didn't have enough time to eat this morning." She looks away embarrassed.

"Oh, well can I get you something from the vending machines?" Tsukune's hand brushes the back of his head.

Her face brightens considerably. "Really? Thank you so much!"

They walk together towards the vending machines. However, they don't go unnoticed.

"Your funeral kid."

Later that day, Tsukune stays late to help out a teacher and Moka walks to the dorms alone. About half way, a hand grabs her wrist and torques it, almost dislocating it.

"Hey there little lady. Why don't you take a walk with me?" A long tongue licks her cheek and she lets out a scream.

At the Academy, Tsukune is carrying some items to the teacher's dorm when he hears a scream.

'Is that Moka-san? Shit, Saizou must be up to something. Sorry Mr. Takehito, this will have to wait.' He sets the items down half hidden behind a tree and takes off in the direction of the scream. He hears another scream, further down towards the bus stop and he increases speed. He spreads out his youki and finds a very big spot about 200 yards away through a graveyard and a dead forest.

After the longest minute of his life, Tsukune finds Saizou lifting Moka off the ground with one hand and a very long tongue down her shirt. Enraged, Tsukune sprints his fastest (which isn't relatively fast since he can't transform) and puts his shoulder into Saizou's back, sending him to the ground along with Moka.

"Are you ok, Moka-san?" He extends his hand down and helps her up.

"Thank you Tsukune!" She hugs him and cries a little. He returns the hug while keeping an eye on the stunned Saizou.

"Come on, let's go." Moka nods and releases him from the hug. They get about 10 feet when…

"I don't think so. Do you really think that pathetic tackle would be enough to get me to lay off? I like challenges." Tsukune and Moka turn around to find Saizou's true form: a 7 foot tall mound of muscles with a longer tongue than Gene Simons and razor sharp teeth.

Tsukune puts an arm across Moka to say, "You're not getting her without going through me".

'Damn, I really didn't want to reveal myself this early. But I guess I have no choice now.'

Without warning Saizou launches forward and smashes his fist into Tsukune, who had turned around at the last second to protect Moka who had been standing right behind him. The force of the impact would have been enough to break bones, but not him. His species has very strong skin and bones. It more tickled than hurt.

Tsukune orients himself and takes the impact of a tree entirely on his back. He takes a hand and cuts open his forehead to make it appear that he is injured. As blood runs down his face, he looks down at Moka who is looking at him, her eyes wide in fear. He feels something in his hand and looks to find Moka's rosary in his hand. Her eyes widen even further when she sees it.

A flash of blinding white light and Tsukune feels a massive, black youki erupt from Moka. He lets go of her to shield his eyes and he feels her get off his lap. When the light fades, he looks up to find Moka, but not Moka. Her hair is now a shimmering silver and her bust and hips seem to be more pronounced. She stands there, her eyes closed, just breathing. When she does open her eyes, they are blood red and her pupils are slits.

"If this seal were to ever come off, I would turn into a scary Vampire, but so far, no one has been able to remove it."

Moka shakes her head, her silver hair waving all around her. This Moka is very different. Her pose, even the way she shakes her head are more confident. Instead of just pretty, this Moka is downright sexy. Even shaking her hair is sensuous. She walks forward to Tsukune and being mindful of the miniskirt she is in, knees to one knee and leans close to Tsukune's face.

"Thank you for awakening me. Oh, and thank you for protecting the other Moka. Now let me deal with this trash." She stands back up and walks towards a very stunned Saizou. Tsukune can't help but watch her ass as her hips sway back and forth as she walks.

"What's wrong? I thought you liked a challenge? Even if you run I will not let you get away, not after what you did." She narrows her serpent-like eyes at him and a blast of youki knocks him back.

Coming free of his stunned state, Saizou rushes her. "You're right. I do like a challenge. A mighty super vampire! If I can defeat you, then the whole school will bow down to me!" He throws a punch at her.

A blast of dust erupts from impact. Tsukune smiles as he already knows what happened. Based on the power of the hit he took at first, Saizou can't even touch Moka. When the dust clears away, Moka is standing with her hand stopping Saizou's fist.

Moka sighs. "How disappointing. After being asleep for so long I would have enjoyed a good fight." She grabs his wrist and throws him over herself, but she doesn't let go of his arm. The resulting impact leaves a crater. She proceeds to repeat to the other side and again leaves a crater. Then in a blast of youki, she shatters even single bone in both his arms. Screaming now, she picks him up by his collar.

"What's the matter? I thought you were going to defeat me?" She winds up to hit him when she feels a soft tugging on her school jacket. She turns to find Tsukune there with a smile on his face.

"He is beaten already. I'm sure he has learned his lesson. Going on will only jeopardize your status here as a student. Come on, I'll walk to your dorm." He extends his hand to her.

Thinking it over for a second, she realizes that he is right. But he pulls him close to her face and snarls at him and flashes her fang. "KNOW YOUR PLACE!" she then kicks him and sends him a very great distance towards the hospital.

Tsukune still has his hand extended but Inner Moka, he decides to call her, just passes it by with her arms crossed.

'So prideful. This is what a true Super Vampire is like. I must say that I'm impressed.'

"Why are you just standing there? You did offer to walk me to my dorm, right?" She demands.

"Uh, yeah. I did." He hurries and catches up to her.

"So, how long have you been sealed?"

She takes a second to think. "I think it's been 5 years. For some reason, I woke up yesterday and now I think I know why. Something about you woke me up. And there's the fact that you can remove my rosary."

Tsukune rubs the back of his head. "I don't know why, I'm not an expert with rosaries. Just an ordinary student."

"That farce my get some people but not me. What are you really? From the moment I was awakened, I sensed something weird about your youki." She stops and gives him a stern look.

"I can't tell you. Parent's orders, sorry. I wish I could tell. It is something of a rite of passage to be able to live in the human world."

"See. The way my society works it that when we go here, there is someone called a "Watcher". The entire reason for this person is to try and find out if my species is here and who it is. If that happens then the offending person can't leave a city of our species without the test being re-administered. And they won't be able to take that test for 100 years. So I can't take any chances. Sorry, but that is just how things are."

"Inner" Moka eyes him closely, looking for any hint of deceit, but all she finds is a young man, hoping she won't press the issue further.

She turns and begins to walk towards the dorms. Tsukune quickly follows grateful that she has dropped the issue.

"Make no mistake. Just because you can release me doesn't mean you can call on me just anytime. And I will be keeping an eye on you." They reach the girls dorm and snatches back her rosary back from Tsukune's hand.

"Just remember. Whenever you see this rosary, know that I am watching your every move. Remember your place." She clips the silver cross back on her choker and her hair turns back to its normal pink and would have fallen over if Tsukune had not caught her. He slowly lowers her to the ground and lays her in his lap.

"Outer" Moka slowly regains consciousness and her eyes fly open and her body tenses.

"It's ok Moka; your fine. You fainted." Tsukune soothes her.

Moka sits up and rubs her eyes and looks at him. Her normal emerald gems back in place.

"What happened? I remember the rosary in your hand, but after that it is a bit blurry. Then I woke up here. I hope I didn't do anything bad. I didn't scare you did I?" She gets off his lap and kneels on the ground, her eyes downcast.

Tsukune sighs and kneels next to her.

"Nothing you could do can scare me away." Tears gather in the corner of her eyes and she throws her arms around his neck and holds him tightly to her. Stunned a little, he puts his arms around her in a gentle embrace.

Eventually Moka lets go and get to her feet while Tsukune follow suit.

"Well, it's getting late. Good night Tsukune. And thank you."

Moka turns on her heels and runs off towards the dorm doors. With a last wave to Tsukune, she opens the door and enters the hallway.
