Dan and Arin where playing the High School Musical game for their show while laughing at the horribleness of the game. "Remember in High School when everyone burst into random song and dance numbers?" Arin asked playfully.
"Yeah, and do you remember in High School where everyone was a monster in disguise except you and if they found out they would kill you?" Dan replied with a laugh. Arin laughed at that for a few moments before he stopped and looked at Dan with a raised eyebrow. "Wait, what?" Arin asked his friend and fellow grump. Dan frowned. No one would believe him if he told his tale, and he would likely be shipped off to an asylum...
"It's nothing, just came out my mouth...God this game is horrible." Dan said with a serious tone as he stared at the screen.
He was sixteen years old and was sent to a school in Japan as a foreign exchange student to a school that was called Yokai Academy. 'That's a weird name for a school.' Dan thought when he first heard of it.
He was currently on a bus with a really creepy looking guy who was driving the bus. Before he had gotten on the bus hours ago, he put on what he assumed was the school uniform, which consisted of a white button-up shirt, a red tie, a green jacket, a black belt, light brown khakis, and dark loafers.
"God this stuff is itchy!" Dan said as he started to scratch his torso feverously, electing a creepy laugh from the driver. "So going to Yokai Academy are you young man?" The driver asked him without moving his eyes off the road.
"Huh?" Dan said, looking up. "Uh...Yeah. I'm...going there." The bus driver smirked and chuckled under his breath, unnerving Dan somewhat. "Uh...What's funny?"
The creepy man stops laughing. "Your going to need all the luck in the world to survive a place like this." He stated. Dan felt a severe sense of dread wash over him.
"Jesus criminy..." He mumbled. Just then, they reached a tunnel and went in it. Bizarre lights started to flash all around they bus as it drove. "WHAT IS THIS!" Dan yelled as he looked at the lights with a panicked look on his face. This was not normal.
Before long, they made it out of the tunnel and into a spooky area filled with dead trees and tombstones. Dan stared with wide eyes. "...WHERE THE F*CK AM I?!" He shouted as he grabbed the sides of his head.
The bus driver stops the bus and opens the door. "Here you are, Yokai academy." The driver told Dan as he awkwardly stood up and walked towards the door. "Try not to get killed in there Danny boy." The driver said as Dan feet touched the soil.
"WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?! I WANNA GO HOME NOW!" Dan shouted. The bus driver chuckled some more as he shut the door and drove away, leaving Dan to stare at the bus's retreating form with a horrified expression. "YOU JACKASS!" He shouted. The driver obviously didn't hear him and continued to drive away. Within seconds, the bus was no longer in sight. Dan started to pace as he thought over his predicament. "Alright, I've been dropped off in a super creepy place in the middle of no-where with no way home." Dan stated to himself as he scratched his chin. "So...the only logical conclusion is to freak the f*ck out." The second he said this, he threw his arms up and yelled as loudly as he could while running in circles like a chicken that lost it's head. WHATDOIDOWHATDOIDOWHATDOIDOWHATDOIDO?!"
He was freaking out so hard he didn't hear a bike coming until it smashed him in the head. "AGH!" He shouted as he fell over. He felt something soft land on his face seconds after he hit the ground. "Wht th hll jst fll n me?" Was his muffled reaction. When he opened his eyes, all he could see was cleavage. 'Am I in heaven?' was Dan thought as the pink haired girl that fell on him got up.
"I'm so sorry!" She exclaimed. Dan looked at her and gaped in shook at her beautiful face, and pink hair. "It's just that I have a condition where I get dizzy and I lost control of the bike...and." Moka tried to explain until she noticed that Dan was bleeding from the head.
Dan was able to notice that she was looking at him in concern. "Is there something on my face?" Dan asked her when she started to freak out.
"Oh my god! your bleeding!" Moka exclaimed as she pulled a piece of cloth from her pocket and dapped it on his head.
"Oh...you're right. ...Ow." Was Dan's response.
"Let me...clean you...off." Moka said as her eyes lost focused and her nose twitched.
"Uh...Are you o-" Dan screamed like a little girl as the girl lunged forward and sunk her teeth into his neck.
After sucking some of his blood, Moka lets Dan go with a blush on her face. "Mmm, that was soooo good." Moka said until her eyes widen after she realized what she did.
"WHAT WAS THAT?!" Dan exclaimed, his voice high-pitched and squeaky.
"I'm so sorry!" Moka told him as she held her hands over her mouth. "Its just that I'm a vampire and your blood smelt so good...and tasted so delicious." By the end of her explanation, her eyes glazed over in thought of how good his blood was.
Dan looked at her with a raised eyebrow. 'She couldn't be a scary monster. She must have a few screws loose. 'I'll just play along... It would be rude to call her crazy...' "Yeah, you sure are a terrifying vampire." Dan tried to say without making it sound like a lie, but failed. Moka pouted and looked away.
"Fine, don't believe me." Moka said with a cute pout.
"Hey, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it!" Dan exclaimed.
Moka paused for a moment before smiling at him. "Okay, I'll forgive you." Moka said with a smile. "Say, what do you think about vampires?" Moka sudden asked Dan.
Dan smiled at her question. "Actually, they're one of my favorite monsters." Dan explained.
Moka's eyes practically sparkled. "Really?!"
"yeah." Dan said with a goofy smile. "In fact, if I could choose to be anything immortal, I would like to be a vampire."
"Thank you!" Moka exclaimed as she leapt forward to hug him.
"Sh-shouldn't we get to the school?" Dan asked her with the blush still present, earning a gasp from Moka.
"Oh my gosh! We're gonna be late!" She exclaimed. Moka quickly grabbed her bike and Dan then started to run real fast towards a creepy building two miles away that he didn't notice before.
"Hope the teachers are cool..." He mumbled.
They make it to the opening ceremony on time but ended up losing each other while finding seats. thirty minutes later, the ceremony ended and they were let out to find their homerooms.
"Okay, homeroom...Where the hell's homeroom...?" Dan mumbled to himself. Dan looks up and sees the class number that matched the one he was assigned. He walks into the classroom and takes a seat near the middle of the class. A blonde woman walked in, her eyes closed. Dan raised a brow. Was she electing not to use her eyes or something? His eyes trailed upwards and saw that her hair looked like cat ears, earning another weird look.
He shook his head and looked at his desk. It was impolite to give the teacher weird stares. "Hello everyone. My name is Ms. Nekonome and I will be your homeroom teacher for the year." The blonde teacher, now known as Nekonome, explained. Dan said nothing, paying attention to the teacher.
"I would like to welcome all of you to Yokai Academy. As everyone should already know, Yokai academy was established so that monsters can attend and learn." Nekonome explained to them with a smile.
Dan started to frown slightly. 'Okay, first Moka said she was a monster, and now she's telling us that this is a school for monsters. Is this some kind of joke?' Dan thought to himself as Ms. Nekonome continued with her speech.
"At this point, this planet is already well under control by humans. So in order to survive, monsters like us have to learn how to coexist with humans."
Dan was starting to get very nervous. 'There's no way that anyone is buying this.' Dan thought as he looked around at the other student, only to see that none of them were batting a eyelash at what the teacher was saying. '...what kind of nuthouse did I find myself in?' Dan thought as Nekonome walked over to some Japanese kanji that was written on the blackboard.
"This brings us to Academy Rule #1: While you are on campus, except for special circumstances, always remain in human form. Every one get that?" Nekonome asked the students.
As the teacher continued to talk, Dan started to hyperventilate slightly. 'OH GOD! I'M SURROUNDED BY WEIRDOS!' Dan screamed in his mind.
While Dan was starting to freak out, Nekonome pointed at more writing in Japanese. "Rule #2 of our Academy: Never reveal your monster form to any of the other students." Nekonome stated with a serious tone. "I hope you can understand why. Now everyone be sure and follow that rule, okay?"
The level of nausea that Dan was feeling at this point was immense. 'I think I'm going to throw up skittles.' Dan thought as the taller guy that was sitting next to him scuffed with irritation.
"What a buncha boring rules." The tall. browned hair male student said with a bored voice, causing Nekonome's hair that looked like cat ears twitch. 'Did that hair just twitch?' Dan questioned to himself.
"And you are?" Nekonome questioned as she looked at her class roster. "Saizo Komiya, right?"
"Yeah." the now named Saizo answered. "If we do happen to spot a human, why not just eat them?" Saizo stated, making Dan's head spin. "That's what I'm plannin' to d-" Saizo stated to say until Dan fainted and fell over, causing his desk to fall on top of him.
The whole class was silent as they looked at Dan's unconscious form. "Is he going to be okay?" A blue haired girl with large breasts asked as she went over to poke him with her finger. Dan let out a subconscious groan in response to the poking, mumbling something that sounded suspiciously like "Gonna die".
After a few moments of everyone simply staring at Dan's uncounscious body, Moka walks in the room. "Sorry I'm late, I had trouble finding the room and-" Moka started to say until she saw Dan on the floor unconscious. Moka gasped as she rushed over to him and held him up, scaring the blue haired girl and causing her to fall on her ass.
"WHAT'S THE BIG IDEA?!" Kurumu demanded. Moka ignored her as she fussed over Dan, causing her to get steamed off. 'I'll get you for this.' Kurumu thought angrily.
"Oh my goodness, are you okay?!" Moka exclaimed. It was at this point when Dan started to come too and woke up to see Moka's concerned face looking at him.
"I just had the craziest dream..." He mumbled. "There were monsters everywhere..."
Moka looks at him with a raised eyebrow. "Um...you are." Moka told him. Dan just looks at her with a blank expression. "...well sh*t."
Hours later, school let out so the students can find their dorm rooms that were assigned to them. Moka and Dan were currently getting drinks from a vending machine outside the school. Dan got a can of Dr. Pepper while Moka, to Dan's surprise, got a can of tomato juice.
"Tomato juice? That's a thing that exists?" Dan exclaimed. Moka nodded as she started drinking from the can with a smile on her face. "Huh...Sounds like it'd be disgusting, but whatever floats your boat."
"Well I like it. It might not be blood but it really hits the spot." Moka said happily as she continued to drink the fruit juice. "Yeah...blood." Dan said as he nervously took a sip of his soda.
Dan and Moka was silent as they enjoyed their respective drinks until something occurred to Dan. "Oh my god we don't know each other's names!" Dan said somewhat loudly, earning the attention of students who were nearby.
Moka blinked, then tilted her head with a giggle. "You're right." She agreed. "My name is Moka Akashiya. What's yours?"
Dan smiled. "My name is Leigh Daniel Avidan. But you can call me Dan." Dan introduced himself with a goofy grin. Then suddenly, a hand grabs Dan by the collar of his shirt and lifts him up. Dan let out a scream of surprise. "Whoa! Hello!" He said nervously as he looked into the eyes of the boy from earlier.
Saizo ignores him in favor of gazing at Moka with a perverted, lustful look. "Why hello their beautiful." Saizo said with a slick tone. "Why hang with a loser like him when you could be hanging with a real man?"
"Uh...That's not-" Dan began.
"Don't call him a loser!" Moka said angrily. "Besides, I would rather hang out with him then a jerk like you!" Moka then proceeded at yanking Dan out of Saizo's grasp and running off towards the dorms while dragging Dan. 'Holy sh*t she's strong!' Dan thought as he was dragged around like a ragdoll.
"Moka, I can walk y'know..." Moka slows down and lets Dan go, allowing him to shakingly stand up. "Well that sucked..."
Moka looks at him apologetically. "Sorry Dan, I just wanted to get away from the guy." Moka told him as she looked around. "Don't these dorms look so amazing?" Moka asked him, looking at the two very creepy, gothic style buildings that was the boys and girls dorms.
"Yeah...Can't wait to uh...go to the creepy buildings all by myself surrounded by guys who undoubtedly want me dead."
Moka giggled. "Your so funny Dan." Moka told him as she went towards one building. "I'm going to find my dorm room, I'll see you later." Moka told him as she left Dan alone.
"Ah geez..." Dan mumbled. "I'm so screwed."
"You have no idea." A voice behind him replied as Dan was picked up yet again by Saizo.
"DAMN IT!"
"Miss me?" Saizo said with a smirk.
"If I said yes, would you...NOT kill me?"
Saizo's smirk widened at his question. "You know what? I think I might like you. So I might be willing to spare you under one little condition." Saizo told Dan.
"Uh...and what's that?"
Saizo's eyes hardens as he frowns at him and glares right into Dan's eyes. "Stay away from Moka, she is mine." Saizo told him.
Dan's mind was racing. 'Oh god. oh god, oh god, oh god.' His thoughts were going so fast that he almost didn't notice Saizo's arm morph into a disfigured looking arm with large claws on the end of it, replacing his fingers.
Dan racked his brain for a way out of his mess, when one came to him.
"LOOK, A DISTRACTION!"
"Where?!" Saizou exclaimed as he dropped Dan and turned around. When he turned back, Dan was gone. "...DAMN IT!"
Dan was panting as he ran as fast as he could through the creepy as hell forest. 'GOTTA GO FAST!' Dan thought as he started to tire out and had to stop to take a breather.
'Okay...I just gotta get out of here...Move to another state...Change my name...Maybe they won't find me.'
"Dan?" a voice called out from behind him as they placed their hand on his shoulder. Dan jumped three feet in the air and landed in the arms of the person that was behind him.
He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that it was only Moka. "You startled me..."
"Sorry. I was worried because I couldn't find you." Moka said with a concerned look. "Why are you so far in the woods?"
"Oh...well...um...see, the thing about that is...Don't be upset or take this the wrong way or anything...BUT I'M DONION RINGS WITH THIS PLACE!"
Moka's eyes widen at his words. "But...why?!" Moka questioned him, unable to stop the hurt she's feeling at the moment from drenching her words.
"IT'S NOT YOU, IT'S ME! I'M A HUMAN, I CAME HERE BY ACCIDENT, I DON'T WANNA DIE, I GOTTA GO, BYE, NICE TALKING TO YOU, HAVE A WONDERFUL LIFE!" And with that, Dan took off running.
Moka simply stood there and absorbed what he just said. 'H-he's human?' Moka thought to herself as a shadow was cast over her. Moka slowly turns around and sees Saizo standing over her menacingly.
"Dan?" Dan was jolted from his thoughts by the sound of Arin's voice.
"Wh-wh-what?" Dan stuttered as he was pulled from memory lane.
"You spaced out for a sec there."
"Oh sorry. Was thinking about something." Dan told him.
"Alright, we're almost finished the episode so try not to zone out spazzoid." Arin said jokingly. Dan laughed and they spent the rest of the time, laughing at the horribleness of the game.
