CHAPTER ONE: ARRIVAL

"Look!" Kuroi Hana said excitedly. They were at the subway and it was crowded. She waited for her friends Keiti Imiwa and Tekeina Haruiya. They were going to school with her too. Kuroi had black pigtails and she was short and skinny. She wore a lot of black. It was mostly just a tank top and black shorts complete with knee-high boots. Tekeina had short and messy black and purple hair and she was pretty tall. She always wore band tees, converse and black plaid every day, but not today. Today she wore a school girl uniform with a baggy sweatshirt. Keiti had brown hair with a side pigtail on her right, glasses that didn't fit her and mismatched socks and shoes because she always forgot where she put them. Her school girl uniform sagged slightly because none of them fit her. Oh yeah, they were THIRTEEN.

They were pretty young to enter the academy but Mephisto Pheles made an exception. He was a pretty nice person, except his clothes were funny. As Kuroi ran around pointing at the map of True Cross Academy, Tekeina sorted out the train schedules and Keiti bought new snacks that she couldn't eat in the orphanage. Finally, Kuroi sat down because she almost got hit by a train. Keiti had thrown up two times from drinking a liter of soda and chocolate at the same time. Tekeina listened to her iPod the entire time till they boarded the train. Everyone was exhausted by the time the train left for True Cross Academy. Excitement churned in Kuroi, but worry filled her head. Her secret.

It was morning and the train had stopped in the middle of the track. There was a problem with some hobgoblins messing with the train. Tekeina was grumpy as hell when she woke up. She didn't eat anything and she forgot to buy ammo for her pistols and her head was matted. Instead of emo hair, she had a mohawk. This was bad. It was because she had horns. They were black and they camouflaged with her hair, and now they showed on her scalp. The curved forward shape easily showed. She hated all the effort it took for her to be in the Academy, so it better be fun. Keiti was brushing her teeth and the taste of bitter bile still burned her mouth. Kuroi was optimistic as usual and she was staring out the window. Then, she saw a pink haired teen complain about the hold up. "Geez, the academy better be worth it!" He said. He had a staff that was on his shoulder. Kuroi's tail slightly moved. (Yeah, I know I dropped too many plot twists here!) Her cat ears twitched, she hid them with her pigtails, and she made a grab for the staff.

The staff burned her hands and she yelped. The teen turned around and saw her. "Are you okay?" he said. "Yeah! I just got shocked. Gomenisai!" Kuroi said innocently. She knew it was the opposite. It was not okay. She was a demon. Demons hate holy stuff. Tekeina had received temptaint too soon and was half bonded with an oni demon. She had inhuman strength and black horns that curved. Kuroi was a curse to everyone around her, but it was just her tail and ears that frightened them. Little kids threw rocks at her when she was little. Those memories really brought her back. But it was the past and she came to be an exorcist.

She felt a tap on her shoulder. It was Keiti, dazed at the train stopping. "What's wrong with the train?" "Some goblins got in the engine." Tekeina explained, walking out her seat. She had an orange Faygo in her hand and her brown eyes were glazed with boredom." Mother$%# ! # should move or I'll kick it to the Academy." Then, the train moved. "What-"The pink haired kid's friends were so confused. ""She's magical." Keiti said, grinning widely.

UNTIL THEN MY FELLOW CORPSES…!
