Thank you for taking the time to check out my story. This is my first attempt at writing a fan fiction, so I know that I am bound to screw up somewhere so please bear with me. I do want to apologize here at the beginning since I will not be able to update very often because I am a professional truck driver and work long hours and do not always have reliable internet service. Seeing as this is my first attempt at writing a fan fic, I am going to stay fairly close to canon with minor changes here and there. Thank you again for your time and consideration.

"Because of your selfless sacrifice and your pure heart, I am willing to give you a choice" spoke the shadowy figure covered with a dark cloak to a young boy. They were in a no place. It seemed as though they were floating in a sea of nothing with just white light all around them.

"Hey kid, you going to Youkai Academy?" Queried the bus driver startling the teenage boy out of his thoughts.

"Huh? Oh…yeah, I mean yes sir" the boy replied shakily. "this will be my first year there."

'I wonder how he gets his eyes to glow like that.' thought the teen 'Moreover, what was with that memory just now? I haven't thought back on those words in almost five years now.' Here he was sitting on an old bus on his way to a boarding high school that nobody he knows has ever heard of. He was quite fortunate to be going to any high school after failing every entrance exam he took. He knew that he was of just above average intelligence, so it was a mystery how he could not pass at least one test. He was average looking and even though he was not overly athletic, he didn't have any fat on his body. But outward appearances can be deceiving, deep down he know that he hid a dark secret, one that only one other person knew about. It was actually his cousin who brought the acceptance letter to him much to his surprise. "Hey Tsukki, guess what. I think I have just solved your school dilemma. I was walking home when this guy in a priest outfit walked up to and told me that he knew of a school that was accepting non-traditional students and handed me a packet with information. I thought it was rather suspicious, but after looking at the brochure, I knew that it was the place for you." His cousin Kyoko beamed.

"Make sure to watch your back there" warned to bus driver breaking the teen from his thoughts once again.

"What do you mean by that?" asked the boy nervously.

"That school can be one scary ass place" intoned the bus driver

"Well, boy, here is your stop. Watch your step." "Listen well, you're are going to face challenges you never thought possible. Do your best, many people are expecting great things from you" the bus driver said with a smirk just as he closed the doors and started to speed off leaving the confused teen thinking 'what the hell was that about?'

Looking around he spotted some buildings on the far side of a forest. 'Well, might as well see what I have gotten myself into this time' he though as he started he way down the path to the school.

"HE must have had a hand in the landscaping around here" chuckled the teen as he took in his surroundings noticing the dead looking trees and the headstones lining the pathway. The sky was overcast and what on earth was up with that blood red sea out past the cliffs. Along the way he kept hearing a soft squeaking sound coming from the woods behind him, but every time he would turn to look nothing would be there. All of a sudden he heard a girl's voice yell out "look out!" As he turned around to see who was yelling, he saw her and instantly had a flashback. ~A flash of pink hair was all he saw as a young girl about his age walked past him on the busy street corner and proceeded out into the intersection. "Hey! Watch out!" he yell as he ran after her and was able to push her out of the way of a speeding moving van. The truck missed her, but he wasn't as lucky~. Reality came rushing back to him as the bicycle she was riding smashed straight into him sending both teens tumbling to the ground in a heap.

As he tried to open his eyes, all he could see was a field of white in front of him. 'damn, did I just die?' he started to wonder, but noticed a weight above him. As he tried to lift the weight off his face, he heard a muffled "EEP" and suddenly he could see the world around him again. Looking at the blushing face of the girl, he realized that they landed with his face under her skirt. His last thought before passing out from a massive nose bleed was 'there is no way that this could be the girl from five years ago, could it?"

He awoke a few minutes later to find that she was still there staring at him.

"Yea! Your awake, I was so worried you were hurt. I'm sorry, but with my anemia, I lost control of my bike" she said with a deep bow. When she looked up, he almost felt like he was falling into her stunning emerald green eyes.

'So cute, I cannot believe she is talking to me' he thought in amazement.

"Oh my, you're bleeding, let me get that" she said reaching for a tissue. "That smell, it is too much. I can't help myself, you see, I'm a vampire" she stated just as she sank her fangs into his neck.

'Vampire!? What the hell? Wait she's biting me' he panicked

Opening her eyes, she quickly realized what she was doing and licking the wound closed she backed away very quickly. "I'm so sorry, I just couldn't help myself. I didn't mean to lose control like that. Please don't hate me" she cried out with tears forming in her eyes.

Feeling his neck and not finding any wounds and seeing to look on her face he said "look its ok, see no marks so let's just pretend that never happened, okay."

"Really? You don't hate me because I am a vampire?"

"How could I hate vampires when you are the first one I have ever met?" the boy said sheepishly

"I'm so glad. Would you like to be my friend? I am new here and don't know anybody and really want to make friends here. I had a horrible time in the human world, nobody liked me and always teased me." She said with a sad face.

"I would love to be your friend. This is my first year here too and don't know anybody either." He stated with a kind smile.

"Thank you very much, by the way, my name is Moka Akashiya."

"My name is Tsukune Aono. Would you like to meet up after classes to look around the campus with me?"

"I would love to" Moka said excitedly

With that they headed off towards the school.
