The scene was black before a gothic skull like ring appeared in the darkness.
"As long as wikidness exist in human hearts, Demon beasts Horrors will attack humanity." he said in a strange voice. "But horrors are strange creatures they exist to kill not just humans but all forms of life in our dark and strange world. Horrors also attack non humans like monsters, commonly called Youkai Long ago humans and monsters such as werewolves, vampires and many more lived together. But when humans learned to defend themselves Monsters ran to avoid a war between the three sides." he explained. "But we were able to make peace to fight off our common enemy the truly evil Horrors who see all life as a meal or a hosts. Now the curtain will rise on the tail of a new Makai knight as he goes through a journey to protect this fragile peace and destroy Horrors." he finished as he started to float away. "And maybe even find a little romance on the side."
[Insert Garo: Yami o Terasu Mono Op]
A bus drove up to a stop where someone was waiting.
Siting there was a handsome young man, he had bright reddish brown hair that was slicked back, and he had an even tan. He wore a red shirt with what looked like leather armor vest over his torso and furred shoulders, he had a chain necklace with a fang dangling from it. Over that he wore a black duster with a gothic look and silver interior, he wore a pair of black pants and boots, with a pair of fingerless black gloves with flame patterns on the back. He was whistling a merry tune as the bus pulled up in front of him.
The doors then swung open revealing a man dressed in a blue uniform with a cap that cast shadows over his glowing eyes.
"You getting on kid?" he asked as the boy smirked as he got onto the bus with a duffle bag over his shoulder.
"Sorry I've been walking a long time now, I just wanted to sit a little longer."
"Well sit here and we'll get going Dogai Ryuga." he smirked.
"thank you," he said the driver pulled out a cigar. "Here let me." Ryuga said as he pulled out an ornate lighter and raised it to his cigar before flicking it open and lighting a vibrant green fire. Ryuga held it close to the drivers face illuminating it. Ryugan then lowered it and smiled.
"Thanks." the driver smirked along with Ryuga as his cigar was burning with green heat. "Makai fire gives these things a much better taste."
"I'm glad, I was told that this be a good way to get off on a good foot with you." Ryuga said.
"By who?"
"Priest Burai."
"Burai, that names brings back memories, but you'll learn more from the guy hiring you." the driver said as Ryuga sat down in the front seat and laid back. "Let's go then, young knight." he chuckled maniacally which Ryuga soon joined in on...what for; just the hell of it.
Soon enough the bus made it's way through a long tunnel that seemed to go on forever in Ryuga boredom derived opinion.
After an eternity (but really only twenty minutes) of driving. the bus pulled to a stop. Ryuga jumped up as he grabbed his bag and jumped out the bus.
"Ah sweet ground." Ryuga sighed in mock relief, "Thanks again Bus Driver man."
"Oi Kozo, ask a man his name before thanking him." a voice said as Ryuga lifted up his hand.
"What's up Zaruba you're talking today."
"Well I can't let someone bare the title Garo and go around acting like you now can I?" Zaruba mocked, "By the way the bus driver left without telling us where the location of our contractor is."
"Hai." Ryuga said as he grabbed his duffel bag and made his way down the dirt path. Ryuga then took in the area, it was a forest of nothing but dead trees and tombstones littering the ground.
"This place looks like a C list horror movie that does a good job of scaring you." Zaruba commented, "I wonder if people are really buried under those tombstones?"
"Same here." Ryuga said as he ran his finger over several tomb stones. Bats then flew around him as he walked on. One then perched on his shoulder, it was a light brown cartoony bat.
"You know that this is the part where the female lead comes in." the bat said.
"Eh?" Ryuga pondered.
"Oi beat its batsy, I'm the spokesperson for this story." Zaruba said as he made Ryuga's hand swat the bat away.
"Oi Zaruba what was that about?" Ryuga asked.
"Nothing I just don't like bats is all." he complained.
"Whatever you say." Ryuga smirked as they walked on. Ryuga then stopped as he heard a noise coming his way.
"Look out!" a girl cried, Ryuga then turned on his feet as the bike almost crashed into him, but Ryuga jumped in a split second and grabbed the girl on the bike. Ryuga flipped forward and landed on his feet with the girl in his arms.
Ryuga looked back as the bike crashed into a tree knocking it over. The girl then opened her eyes and looked up at Ryuga, who she had to admit was a handsome guy, and as she could feel very fit. Said girl was of average height, she was very beautiful she had bright pink hair and green eyes that added to her compliment her natural looks. She wore a school uniform that consisted of a green jacket over a white blouse and a pleated skirt. She also had a leather choker with a silver cross with a red gem in the center hanging from it.
"Are you okay?" Ryuga asked as he set her down gently.
"Fine…" she said as she looked up at Ryuga since he was at least a head taller. "Are you going to Youkai academy too?" she asked.
"Academy?" Zaruba asked making the girl look around for the voice."
"Who said that?"
"Oops, busted." Zaruba sighed as Ryuga lifted him up.
"Heh, for once you where the who goofed Zaruba." Ryuga laughed.
"Hahaha, one mistake and I won't hear the end of it."
"Is that a talking ring?"! the girl said in shock.
"Oi Ojou-chan, I'm not just a ring, I'm the one and only Zaruba." Zaruba scoffed.
"I apologies for him he can get a bit chatty." Ryuga said as he stuck his hand in his dusters pocket. "Yoroshiku, my name is Dogai Ryuga." Ryuga bowed to the girl.
"I'm Akashiya Moka." the girl bowed back. "So are you going to Youkai academy."
"Yes so it appears, I was sent here by my caretaker but I didn't know the name of the place." Ryuga explained. "So you're going there, well how about we walk together."
"Sure." Moka smiled, she then got a look at Ryuga's close. "Dogai-san…"
"Ryuga." he cut her off. "You can call me Ryuga." he smiled.
"Hai, Ryuga-san where is your uniform?" she asked.
"As I said I was sent here all of a sudden so I never got one." he explained. "Besides I'm not use to staying in one place too long so this is what I wear for my travels."
"thats pretty cool." she said as they kept walking. As they walked Ryuga moved a few branches out of the way for her, but one of them snapped back suddenly and cut Ryuga's cheek.
"Ryuga-san." Moka gasped as she pulled out a handkerchief to wipe the blood away.
"Eh...oh I didn't even notice this." he chuckled as she dabbed away. But as she did the smell of the blood began to overwhelm her, she then leaned in closer. "Moka-san are you alright?" he asked as he saw her eyes.
"I'm sorry but this smell...I can't hold back." she said as she leaned in closer. Ryuga's mind instantly took this action as the scene where a couple kisses. "You see...I'm a vampire." she said as she opened her mouth to reveal a small pair of fangs.
She then bit Ryuga's neck much to his shock. Ryuga could feel the blood being sucked from his body, yet the pain wasn't as bad. Ryuga then grabbed her shoulders and gently moved her away from his neck.
"Oi now no necking." he joked.
"I'm so sorry the smell of your blood just made me react, you see I'm a vampire so…."
"your body reacted to it's favorite meal." Ryuga said as he patted her head ever so lightly. "Relax I'm not mad I could feel you didn't mean to harm me."
"so you don't hate vampires?"
"Well I don't know about that but...I definitely don't hate you." he smiled.
Moka smiled greatly at that, "Then we can be friends?" she asked excitedly.
"Sure, I've always wanted to be friends with a cute monster girl." he joked with a snicker. Moka would have blushed because of that but she was too excited to react, she just went and hugged Ryuga with all her might. Which the young man had to admit was pretty strong for a small girl.
Ryuga soon parted ways with Moka at the school opening ceremony.
Ryuga followed his senses and found his way to the headmasters office.
Ryuga raised his hand to knock…
"Come in Makai Knight." a voice said as the door swung open.
"Oh very cute." Zaruba said, "what now we meet this mysterious figure clad in black?"
"Sorry black doesn't suit me." a man in white priest like cloths, he had a hood that covered his head and cast a shadow over all but his glowing eyes. "Welcome Makai Kishi Dogai Ryuga, Ougon Kishi Garo."
"Oh..so you're this mysterious old friend of Priest Burai." Ryuga said as he pulled up a chair and sat in front of his desk before slamming his foot on the table. "What can I do for you?"
"It's quite simple, I require the services of any Makai Knight." he explained as he looked at Ryuga whose face was more serious. "This school is plagued by Horrors,"
"Demo, your guys aren't human," Ryuga pointed out. "Can't you guys handle it?"
"Horrors can not be taken care of so easily." he said aloud. "So I require a knight to seal them for me."
"Honestly how is that not clear here." Zaruba scoffed. "But the kid has a point, humans and Youkai have not worked together for millennia, in fact the Makai orders has even prepared for if our kind gets into conflict."
"Yes, and I already know if we were to face the Makai orders then many lives would be lost on both sides." the priest said, "So thats why Ryuga will serve a second purpose."
"What's that?"
"Oh that one's secret since you can't achieve it by force. It takes time, so just be yourself protect these students as if they were humans, no as if they were friends. Because even if they are monsters they are good kids at heart."
"Daijobu, I'll protect all of them with my life or die tryin." he smirked.
"Oh the best method to do so would have to be attending class as a student…" he started only for Ryuga to close the door behind him. "Perhaps I should have asked for Zero instead." he sighed.
Ryuga walked down the halls as several students looked at him in confusion. He then stopped as he put his ear to the wall. to some this seemed strange, but Ryuga was doing something natural to him. He heard the voice of the school, the voices of all who had passed this way, all who are here.
Ryuga then lifted his head as a tear fell down his cheek.
"Ryuga what's wrong?" Zaruba asked.
"I can hear voices of regret and fear. This school is sad someone has done awful things here." he explained to Zaruba.
"Then young knight what will you do?" Zaruba asked.
Ryuga then wiped the tear away as he started back down the hall. "I'll wipe this places tears away, I'll cut away it's fear and sorrow."
"Hehe, I like that answer, you might be a young punk, but your determination is what I like about you." Zaruba smirked.
Ryuga then let his special sense lead him till he found his way to a classroom. "I don't know for sure but something is leading me here." he said as he opened the door.
Rewind a few minutes before Ryuga came to a door.
"I'm sorry I'm late!" Moka said as she came in closing the door behind her.
"Ah it's alright." the teacher said, she was a woman with hair styled into cat ears, to add to that she also had a cat tail swinging behind her. "Miss Akashiya correct, your where one of the two people on the list not here."
"Oh sorry I got lost after the opening ceremony." Moka bowed all the while the men were staring at her with hearts in their eyes.
"That hair and eyes…" one boy stated in his love struck stupor.
"Kami she's hot!"
"Thats way too pretty to be just a disguise."
"She's perfect!" several boys said in unison.
The girls just sighed in annoyance at that, but before anything could continue, the door swung open and none other than our beloved Makai Knight walked in.
Ryuga walked in and everyone stopped and looked at him.
"Oh sorry I didn't mean to interrupt," Ryuga smiled as this time it was the girls turn to swoon. "I think I'm lost."
"Who is he!" one girl said.
"wow, that guy's so hot he makes these chumps look even worse." that one hurt a few prides.
"This must be his natural form, no Youkai guys disguise looks that good!" and so did that one.
"Oh kami let him be single." several girls prayed.
"Sorry…" Ryuga started to explain to the teacher but he was then tackled by an excited Moka.
"Ryuga!" she cried in joy as she hugged her head to his chest. she had to admit the leather vest/armor felt strange she didn't really care.
"Oh Moka what a surprise, I didn't think we'd meet so soon." Ryuga said as he hugged her back and patted her head. Neither of the friends noticed the jealous glares people sent them, Moka was being glared at by the women while Ryuga got the same glares only from the men.
"I'm sorry but did she say your name was Ryuga?" the teacher asked.
"Yes that's me." Ryuga said as Moka let him go.
"Well you're the last student on my list." she said as she displayed the list of students to them. It also revealed her name was Ms. Nekonome.
"What do you know." Ryuga said.
"I bet that white dressed guy did this from the start." Zaruba telepathically spoke to Ryuga.
"Well no point now we're stuck in this spot so might as well roll with it." Ryuga responded getting a grunt of approval from his Madogu.
"Well the two of you can sit in those empty spots at the end row over there." Ms Nekonome said pointing to two seats in the middle of the last row near the window.
"Hai." Moka smiled as Ryuga nodded and followed her. Ryuga sat sideways his back against the window as he leaned with his left hand on the desk.
"hey what's with that guys cloths?" one guy asked.
"Yeah how come he doesn't have to wear this itchy uniform?" another complained.
"why does that look remind me of something?" another student pondered.
Ms. Nekonome then went on with her lesson that both Ryuga and Zaruba tuned out by playing mental twenty questions. But something got Ryuga's attention.
"Oi sensei, why don't we just eat all the humans?" a punk like student asked.
"Well…" Ms. Nekonome started.
"Isn't the point of this school to co-inhabit with humans?" Ryuga said getting everyone's attention.
"whats your point?" the punk taunted.
"Just that it seems like you don't want to be here at all, so why not leave if you're going to hold everyone back." Ryuga said simply.
"Teme...who do you think your talking too…" he growled.
"I don't know, hi my names Dogai Ryuga, what's yours?" he smiled making everyone laugh at how stupid he made the punk look.
"Saizo please sit down." Ms. Nekonome said. Saizo grumbled as he sat back down several students still snickering at him.
After class Ryuga was being dragged around the halls by Moka.
"Wow slow down would you." Ryuga chuckled as they went on.
"Come on lets go check out the west wing." she said with excitement.
"Moka-chan I'm tired already." Ryuga said as he sat down. "You have dragged me into every classroom probably twice, and not in order too, first the north wing, then the gym, then the dorms then the cafeteria now the west wing."
"I'm sorry but I really want to explore the school with you is all." she blushed a little as she sat next to him.
"alright we can go but let's get something to drink first you didn't even let me get anything at the cafeteria." Ryuga offered as he got up and offer her his hand. "Come on." he said as he helped her up.
The two then went outside the the vending machines.
"yosh…" Ryuga said as he got a root beer. "what are you getting Moka?" he asked.
"Tomato juice." she said as she took a drink.
"Tomato juice...you like that stuff?" he teased.
"Well it's not as good as blood but it's a good substitute." she explained.
"Just because it's red?" he laughed making her pout in anger. "Relax I'm just playing with you."
"You're a meanie." she pouted.
"Hehe sorry." he laughed as they both started to laugh a bit.
Unknown to them Saizo was watching from a distance.
"Ryuga…" Zaruba said out loud, "That punk from class is watching us from behind that pillar."
The two then looked back and saw Saizo who came out.
"Oh Saizo what's up." Ryuga waved.
Saizo just ignored Ryuga and walked up to Moka.
"Hey Moka why don't you lose this loser and hang out with a real man." he offered as he got close to her.
Moka got away and wrapped her arms around Ryuga's. "sorry I'm hanging out with Ryuga."
"Oh come on, this loser can't protect you. Watch." he said as he swung his arm to hit Ryuga but, Ryuga's hand sung up and blocked it. "what!"
"sorry, force of habit." Ryuga said as he blocked another swing then another as the all increased in speed and power. Ryuga then pulled his hand back but he then shot it forward and delivered a palm thrust to his chest sending him flying back.
Saizo smashed into the wall making it crack before he slid down it.
"Oops I used to much force in that one huh." he said looking at his hand as Moka dragged him away. Saizo looked up as they escaped, his tongue then extended out and crushed a can Moka was drinking from.
Moka dragged Ryuga to the roof where she caught her breath.
"Ryuga are you alright?" Moka asked.
"Hm.. I'm fine, his swing weren't very hard at all, I've taken a lot heavier ones in my fights." he said as he flexed his fingers.
"How often do you get into fights?" she asked.
"Well I've had to train for a long time, so fighting is normal for me." Ryuga said as he leaned on the railing. "I need to be strong to keep an important promise to someone special."
"Someone special?" Moka asked.
"Yeah, I made this person a promise when I was a kid."
"Ne Ryuga, what kind of monster are you?" Moka asked.
"Oi Moka-chan Ryuga can't tell you that." Zaruba said, "Don't you remember the rules say thats a big no no."
"I know but I just wondered since Ryuga said he's trained so much and because of you Zaruba." she explained. "Plus you both already know what I am."
"Yeah but you didn't know the rules then, and you did kind of reveal it with the whole blood sucking."
"I know, it's just your my first friend so I wanted to know more about you." she said.
"Don't worry, one day you'll learn about my secret." Ryuga said with a more serious tone confusing Moka. "Besides, you don't look like a vampire at all." Ryuga said.
"He has a point, in my eyes you look more like an angel Moka-chan." Zaruba complemented.
"Oh that's so sweet, Zaruba-san, but you see the real reason is because of this." she said as she pulled back her shirt a little revealing a bit of her cleavage and also the choker around her neck that had a silver cross with a red gem in the center.
"See this rosario it seals me true vampire self back." she explained. "If it were to be taken off then my true scary self would be free."
"Wow, thats a scary thought." Zaruba chuckled.
"That's an interesting seal." Ryuga said. "Honestly I wouldn't mind meeting this other you."
"Really?" Moka asked in shock.
"Of course your my friend, and you'll always be my friend no matter how you change." he smiled.
"thank you Ryuga-san, you really are the first real friend I've ever had."
"what do you mean?" Ryuga asked.
"Well when I was younger I had a hard time making friends, so I've always been alone. I went to school in the human world up until junior high. Everyone called me weird for believing in monsters, and they all treated me like a freak. I felt like I'd be better of not existing...it was always so painful. But then I met you Ryuga and now I don't feel alone anymore. "
"I'm sorry for what happened to you Moka." Ryuga said as he had a sad look. "But not all people are that bad."
"I don't believe it, I hate humans." she said as Ryuga looked at her.
"Moka...I understand that you have your problems with people, but you can't let that stop you from seeing the good in people." Ryuga said. "Just as any human can be truly awful, and a Youkai can be truly good the opposite is also true."
"Ryuga, I think it's time we left, we do have some things to take care of." Zaruba said as Ryuga nodded and walked away.
"Wait Ryuga." Moka said as Ryuga walked off.
"Sorry, I just need to go do something important, I'll catch up with you later." he said as he left.
Saizo was walking back to the dorm in misery after Ryuga beat him back at school. Everyone mocked him for how easily he was beat.
"Do you wish revenge?" a voice asked in a language he didn't understand.
"Oi who's there?" he asked.
"Revenge, anger, these are what I feel from you. Do you wish power greater than anything you've ever felt?" the voice asked this time understandable to Saizo.
"So what if I do?" he asked as a figure snuck up behind him.
"Then I'll give it you in exchange for your soul!" the voice said as Saizo turned around as the figure grabbed his face and tossed him to the ground. It then jumped on him and roared releasing some darkness that flowed into Saizo.
"AAAAHHHHHH!" he screamed in terror and pain.
Ryuga stood in the woods as Zaruba noticed something. "Ryuga, I sense it a horror and a strong one too."
"where?" he asked.
"Deeper in the woods on the other side of the school." he said as Ryuga took off to the horrors direction.
As he ran Moka walked along the path only for Ryuga to run past her. "Ryuga?" ehs said as he ran, she then ran after him herself.
"Ryuga!" Moka called getting his attention making him skid to a stop.
"Moka?" he asked.
"Ryuga where are you going?" she asked as she stopped.
"I have something to do." he said as he got ready to go again, Moka then noticed that the direction he was going was that of the bus stop.
"Wait why are you going that way?"
"Moka I can't explain it." he said as he started moving again. Moka then grabbed his hand stopping him.
"Wait tell me what's wrong." the demanded.
"Oi Moka we don't have time someone could be in danger." Zaruba said.
"Danger?" Moka asked.
"Moka, I don't have time to explain," Ryuga said.
"But your my friend you can tell me."
"But he can't be your friend." Zaruba said getting their attention. "Ryuga's human!"
'What?"
"Zaruba?" Ryuga asked.
"I'm sorry but this needed to be known." he said. "Ryuga I'm sorry but you know we have to take care of the horror, and you know the price of being a knight."
"Ryuga, is this true?" Moka asked.
"Yes Moka, I'm a human, I'm sorry but if you hate me then so be it but I need to take care of something important." Ryuga said as he ran.
Ryuga came to a stop in the middle of the woods where Zaruba felt the presence of the horror.
"I don't understand it should be around here." he said as Ryuga held his arm out so Zaruba could get a broader range.
Ryuga then listened carefully to the wind before he ducked as a boulder came crashing at him.
Saizo then walked out as Ryuga looked up at him.
"Ryuga thats the horror." Zaruba said as Ryuga looked up at Saizo.
"Saizo so now you're a horror." Ryuga said as he reached into his duster and pulled out a white sword. "Well this is where it ends for you."
"Heh, you think you can stop me?" he taunted as Ryuga drew his sword as Saizo jumped at him. Ryuga then dodged him and slashed him across the abdomen. Saizo's jaw then split open as he screamed in pain.
The two then punched at each other at the same time knocking each other back. Ryuga got back up first as he got into a ready pose with his sword drawn across his left wrist and pointed at Saizo.
"I'll enjoy killing you!" he roared as he charged at Ryuga again, only for him to duck under his fist before slashing him across the back.
"Not with those slow moves you won't." Ryuga smirked as he kicked Saizo across the face before slashing him across the chest knocking him back. Saizo punched Ryuga knocking him back but Ryuga flipped back up before he charged and jumped into the air and kicked Saizo across the face sending him tumbling back. Ryuga then slashed him across the chest twice before delivering a reverse roundhouse to his face sending him spinning to the ground.
"Ryuga, we can't afford to wait for him to change into his horror form, which I fear will be even worse with his youkai nature." Zaruba said. Ryuga blocked a punch before they both punched the other across the face sending them both tumbling back with a shockwave from the impacts.
"Right!" Ryuga said as he charged and stabbed at Saizo and pushing him back into a tree causing his jaw to split as he screamed in pain again.
Moka jogged in the direction Ryuga ran in. "Ryuga...now I understand, why you said what you did, you wanted to convince me that humans weren't bad." she said as she kept running, "Even though you're human, you truly accepted me."
As Moka figured all this, she came upon the scene of Ryuga being tossed into a tree.
"Ryuga." Moka cried as she came up to him.
"Moka…" Ryuga grumbled as he got up still holding his sword.
"Ah Moka so glad you could be here, I can't wait to have fun with you after I take care of this loser." Saizo said as he had several blood soaked cuts across his shirt.
"Saizo-san?" she said as she noticed the wounds and the sword in Ryuga's hand. "Ryuga-san did you?"
"Oh blah blah, just move over so I can kill him." Saizo complained as his body changed to a large stone bodied monster. It's body was bulky with large shoulders and a rounded head and sunken hollow eyes.
"Golem Horror Rornoc, a horror known for it's rock skin and incredible strength. It takes joy in taking over men who have been humiliated and wronged. Then making them eat those they seek revenge on." Zaruba introduced.
"Come on Makai Knight, is this the best you can do?" Rornoc asked as he grabbed his shoulders and broke them off before they regrew. He then tossed the chunks of stone at Ryuga and Moka.
Ryuga then grabbed Moka and jumped away.
"Ryuga, his skin is to hard for your normal sword," Zaruba said as Ryuga landed on the ground. Ryuga than cut down several rocks that came at them.
"Makai Knight?" Moka asked as Ryuga cut down the last rock.
"Watch closely Moka-chan for this battle will be won in under 99.9 seconds." Zaruba said as Ryuga lifted his sword into the sky. He then swung it around in a circle as he drew a ring of light in the air above his head. He then swung his sword down as the space inside the ring broke.
Armor then fell around Ryuga. Ryuga was now garbed in mystical armor that was mostly black, with a gothic feel with pointed feet, and ridged thigh armor, his wrists had a streak of gold leading to his outward pointing shoulder armor with gold streaks that lead to his gold chest plate with a green gem in the center of his solar plexus, his helmet had a snarling wolf theme with his lower jaw being black, connected by a set of sharp teeth to the the top of his helmet being gold with gleaming green eyes and another green gem in his forehead and two large black and gold ears with several curved spikes that resembled tufts of fur. Ryuga's sword also turned into a gold handled broadsword with a gold wolf head at the base and a gold vein up the side it also had a red triangle in the guard.
Rornoc took a step back as 'Ryuga' stood there.
"Ore wa Ougon Kishi Garo." Garo said s he jumped and slashed Rornoc across the chest leaving a deep gash across his stone body making him stumble back. Rornoc recovered and swung at Garo only for the knight to jumped over him. As Garo came back down he swung his sword and slashed Rornoc down from his shoulder to his hip leaving a glowing slash. Garo then raised his sword and slashed him down his other shoulder leaving a glowing X across his body.
Rornoc stumbled back as Garo swung his sword to the side flinging the horror blood off to the side. Rornoc then exploded as his soul was sealed within Garo's sword.
"Good job your time was a personal best." Zaruba said as he was now located on the back of Garo's hand. Garo then turned to Moka.
"Ryuga." she said in awe at Garo's armor.
"Moka. This is why I was sent here, I was ordered to defend this school from evil demons known as Horrors who see both humans and Youkai as food." Garo said as he sheathed his sword. His armor then flew off as his sword disappeared into his duster. "But I'm still human, so I understand if your don't want to be my friend anymore, because of the way other humans treated you."
"Ryuga...I don't care that your human." she said getting his attention. "Your the first person, human or youkai to accept me. You'll always be my first real friend." she smiled as Ryuga smiled.
"Ah it's so sweet…" Zaruba sobbed. "Why don't you two just kiss and move on."
"Not funny Zaruba." Ryuga taunted as he flicked the skull faced rings forehead.
"yeah...not funny." Moka said blushing.
The two friends then walked away, not knowing that they were being watched.
"Ah not even a full 24 hours and he's already helping bring our different kind's together." the priest said as he watched them through a crystal ball. "Priest Burai was right he's just the knight I needed for this task."
To be continued:
"What does it mean to be accepted." Ryuga narrated as he was running through the school in a hurry, "Everyone wants to be accepted for who they are and to find their destined one to help ease their pain and be happy." he continued as he blocked a slash from a girl with blue hair using the sheathed Garoken. "Next time: Desire."
