The Yokai Love Story
Tsukune Aono. Tsukune was a regular young 15 year old boy who can't manage to get into private school because his grades were below average. He had almost given up hope and planned on getting a job until he could get into school. His parent's came into his room and showed a flyer to him and told him he had been accepted to a private school despite his grades. He could tell how happy they were considering they were quite literally dancing around the room.
He lived in what could be described as a normal town in Japan. Nothing too exciting ever really happened in the city. He was by no means popular, most of his old friends went on to the same private schools together so he suddenly found himself friendless, other than his cousin who was close to his age. He hoped he would be able to meet some new friends quickly at his new school.
A few days later
"Today was the day" Tsukune thought as he stood in his main room with his luggage near the door. His parents and cousin were there saying their goodbyes and wishing him good luck. It was a Monday and normally it was common for him to hate Mondays because it meant the weekend was over and school would start, but today he felt strangely optimistic and excited.
When the clock hit seven twenty nine in the morning Tsukune grabbed his bags and waited for the bus that would take him to school to arrive. His parents told him to vist when he could and take care of himself. His cousin on the other hand punched his shoulder and told him not to screw up his chance, in a loving way of course.
It was seven thirty on the dot when the bus pulled up. The bus was an older model painted a faded white color. It could hold people thirty people or so and from what he could tell no one else was on the bus.
He put his suitcases on the bus and waved again to his parents. He adjusted his luggage in the seat next to him and leaned against the window in the middle of the bus. When he stole a glance at the bus driver he seemed like an average bus driver other than his clothes seemed, just like the bus, a little outdated.
"How long will it take to get there?" He asked the bus driver after a few minutes of watching the buildings and houses pass by.
"Hmm about three hours I would imagine." The bus driver said in a tone that made him uncomfortable for some reason, but he brushed it off and stared back out at the passing landscape. For a while it was city, houses and buildings were everywhere along with people. Then they finally made it to the countryside where there was beautiful plant life and nature. They still passed the occasional person or field of livestock.
The three hours seemed to have passed quickly. He looked at the front of the bus and saw a tunnel just ahead. Figuring that he must be near the school he started to gather his stuff and failed to notice the strange dim lights on the sides of the tunnel. They were on the other side of the tunnel by the time he had gathered his thing and the bus came to stop.
"We are here. Good luck Tsukune. The school is just down the road." The bus driver said.
He got of the bus and saw a cliff over the sea, it was only once the bus pulled away and he turned around that he noticed the scary looking forest in front of him.
"Had the bus driver made a mistake?" He thought as he stared at the withered forest, then he heard a bell.
Crap!
He didn't want to be late on the first day even though he didn't want to go in the forest. Regardless he had walk ahead and started along the path. It was a few minutes of walking through the dense forest when he heard a sound. It sounded like… yelling?
He looked around trying to find the source of the sound and then.
Thump.
Next thing he knew he was flat on his stomach and it felt like something was on his back, only it was a someone.
"Ahhh ehh.. that was no fun." Said a female voice.
He rolled over and looked at the girl on top of him. 'She was beautiful' he thought. Her hair was bright blue, her smile was adorable, but what really caught his attention were her eyes. They were a golden amber color and seemed almost like they were moving, trying to slowly draw him in.
"Ar… Are you okay?" Tsukune finally managed to ask.
"Huh.. oh.. oh my gosh I'm sorry I was flying along and there was this talking bat and t-" The blue haired girl spoke quickly and then stopped and stared at him.
"It's fine, I'm just glad your okay" he smiled at her.
Was it his imagination or was she blushing a bit?
After a little bit of awkward silence Tsukune stood up and offered his hand to help the girl up.
She took his hand and he helped her up. She looked at him with her big eyes and again he though he saw her cheeks turn slightly pink.
"Anyway I gotta get to class, this is my first year and I don't want to be late to class on the first day" Tsukune said smiling.
"Cool! I'm this is my first year too. What class are you in?" She asked returning the smile.
"Lets see" Tsukune said rummaged through his pocket and pulled out a slip of paper "I'm in… class 1-2."
"Really? Me too that's awesome! Maybe it's fate." She said and smiled.
Just then another bell rang in the distance.
Crap!
The girl grabbed his hand and pull him behind her, and then stopped for a second looked back at him.
"By the way my name is Kurumu."
"I'm Tsukune. Nice to meet you."
Kurumu, huh. Maybe this wouldn't be such a bad school after all.
An: Hey everyone this is my second fan fic attempt. Rosario + Vampire is another of my favorites by far. While I like the moka x tsukune pair, I personally prefer kurumu. As before I welcome all comment for loving and criticizing. I hope to continue improving and making your reading experience better.
