Chapter 1 – A Friend Fiend

Tsukune woke up in a daze, considering the bit of drinking the night before that he done he didn't think anything about it. He stood up and went to bathroom to wash his face. He turned the sink on and splashed his face.

"Ow, damnit.", he swore as he cut his middle finger on his cheek when he wiped the cold liquid off. He examined his 'injured' finger and then his cheek. His feet fell out from under him as he tumbled back in shock into the full body mirror, smashing it. He held his cheek and began to rub the close to one inch long blade with its length pressed against the bloody skin of his cheek. As soon as he touched the blade, it fell out of his cheek, leaving a small pocket of blood. The blade floated in mid-air and then sped out of the bathroom straight through the walls toward the northern end of town. He got up and checked his cheek again. The pocket in his cheek was now gone and there is no proof of anything happening the few seconds before. He simply brushed it off as nothing more than a hangover issue. He walked into the kitchen and his mother gave him his high school registration sheet he had to get yesterday to him.

"Here you go sweety", she said in her normal cheery tone. He walked to the table, pulled out a chair, and got to business. He filled out his registration form with almost no problems, he saw a blank space labeled 'M. Race.'. He was troubled because he had already filled out his race, its even had the examples of the races beside it. He simply put three question marks beside it, thinking that if they needed whatever information they wanted from that space, they would ask him when he got there.

"Tsukune! Want some sausage?", his mom asked from the kitchen.

"Sure, mom.", he replied. She brought him three sausages, each on there own buttery biscuit. His mouth watered as he thought about them for a second and then dove in. Downing them in a matter of seconds.

"Tsukune, calm down before you choke.", his mother warned him, laughing. He chuckled as he finished his sausage and ran outside to mail the registration form. He walked to the mailbox and opened the lid. He saw a box inside and simply switched the two, closed the lid, and went inside. He sat down the box and read the tag. 'To: Tsukune Aono – From: Moka Akashiya'. He had no idea who this girl was, but he opened the box and saw a bright red jewel. He then heard something park in front of his house. He went outside and saw a bus with the label 'Yokai Academy'. The bus driver, who seemingly had no eyes, opened the driver's hatch and and said simply:

"Tsukune Aono?"

"Um, yes.", Tsukune replied.

"This is the bus to your school.", the driver said plainly. Tsukune's eyes widened. He already was packed, but he didn't expect to leave now. He grabbed his bags and ran out the door, he stopped, remembering the jewel and grabbed the box and ran to the bus and hopped in. He sat down near the back and packed the box up.

"Heh heh. You're gonna have fun here kid.", the bus driver chuckles.
