Zoro awoke to the purr of an engine. His eye snapped open, and he quickly took note of his surroundings - he was on some weird transportation vehicle sitting on a cracked, leathery seat. He had fallen asleep after a workout in the crow's nest and had awoken here. Bewildered, Zoro thought about all the possibilities that had landed him in this situation. Zoro was either the latest sucker in one of Usopp, Chopper and Luffy's pranks (he would make surely to crush those idiots) or he had been taken prisoner by the Marines. Yet Zoro never seen of a vehicle that looked as peculiar as this, and this was rather subdued for the Marines- they would have paraded him through the streets shouting about justice rather than transferring him silently and away from the public eye. He also had his swords and wasn't tied down in any way. And where the hell was the sea or the coast? He was surrounded by land on all sides, the landscape flitting by. Seeing as he was the only passenger, Zoro sauntered over to the bus driver and asked "Yo old man," Zoro called out, "Where the hell am I and where the hell are you taking me?".

With an unnerving cackle, the bus driver replied. "Yokai Academy - it's a school for monsters."

"Monsters? Tch. Oi - you taking me for a idiot or something? Monsters don't exist." Zoro snorted. Sudden realization dawned over him. "Wait... I'm twenty-one ! WHY THE HELL WOULD I GO TO SCHOOL? AND WHAT DO YOU MEAN ACADEMY, IS THIS WHERE YOU TRAIN MARINES OR SOMETHING?" he roared.

The driver shot him an appraising look, and muttered "You don't look twenty-one to me."Zoro frantically looked down at his body. Sure he had felt slightly shorter than usual, but Zoro had dismissed it without a second thought. He still only had use of one eye, and it seemed that he had just gotten younger two or three years give or take- his body still proudly wore the scars that he had earned through countless battles. Deciding that he wasn't going to get anymore answers from the creepy ass bus driver, he sat down and pondered on his next move.

"Here we are kid" the driver said, opening the door for Zoro to leave. "Just head that away" the driver pointed out. Zoro nodded his thanks as he worked his way off.

"This place kinda looks like Mihawk's..." Zoro muttered to himself while walking in an completely random direction. Sighing, the driver reluctantly got out of the bus and started dragging him to the academy, Zoro's protests falling on deaf ears.

Despite chagrin, the driver had plopped Zoro outside of the Headmaster's office and motioned him inside. "Good luck kid, and take care of yourself. " the driver said has he walked off. "And don't get lost."

"Godamn old man" Zoro growled, "I wouldn't have gotten lost if he had given me proper directions". As Zoro opened the door, he was met with an imposing looking figure garbed in some weird religious looking attire and a hood that covered his eyes, sitting behind a desk.

"So, Roronora Zoro - what can I do for you today?". the Headmaster asked, glowing eyes never leaving Zoro's face.

Zoro growled "How the hell do you know my name? Are you a marine? And where the fuck am I? And how the hell did I get younger?". Zoro was not someone that was scared easily, but the Headmaster's devilish grin sent shudders down his spine.

"I know many things Roronora Zoro... and no, I am not an marine. I am just the Headmaster. You probably got younger as a result of crossing the dimensional barrier. Also, as the bus driver had stated earlier, you are at Yokai Academy - a school dedicated to helping monsters assimilate into human society." The headmaster pulled out a map of the world and handed it over to Zoro - his eye widening in shock. There wasn't a map of the world but this map- well, the world seemed incredibly different.

With a reluctant sigh, Zoro sat down as he thought about his options. What was he to do? His nakama were probably looking for him and what if he wasn't there to help protect them from the dangers of the Grand Line? Zoro's grip tightened on Wado Ichimonji, his mind racing at the consequences of being sent into a different world. Zoro didn't care why he was sent to this dimension - he needed to get back.

Feeling sympathetic towards Zoro, he spoke up. "Roronoa Zoro" the headmaster spoke, catching Zoro's attention "I can offer you a place here at Yokai Academy. Although the school year has started already, you have only missed a couple of days. You will start off as a first year. Your lodgings and food will be taken care of while I search for a way to send you back to your dimension. However, you will have to follow the rules of this school in the meantime."

Zoro opened his mouth to protest but closed it as he couldn't figure out an alternative solution. He had no other choice but to hope that this creepy Headmaster pulled through with his promise. "Don't I need those clothes that the other kids were wearing?". Zoro asked tentatively. He was not a stickler for rules, but when someone offered you food, room and a way back into your dimension, you took it.

"I'll get you the uniform by tomorrow" the Headmaster grinned, as he shot Zoro an unnerving smirk "Come, I'll take you to your class. Keep your swords too, I have a feeling you'll need it." And with that, the duo left the headmaster's office, walking off to Zoro's homeroom.

Zoro hesitated before he entered his new classroom. A bemused headmaster patted Zoro's shoulder reassuringly, before going gliding back to his office.

"I've stared death in the face countless times, done the impossible on a regular basis. Why the hell is meeting a classroom filled with monster-teenagers scaring me?" Zoro thought to himself. He sighed as he opened the door as he stepped into the loud and boisterous classroom.

The ruckus died down as the class analyzed the new comer. He was tall, roguishly handsome and incredibly muscular. Majority of the girls blushed at his outfit, for his well sculpted pecs and the upper portion of his abdominal muscles were proudly in display. They also noticed the harsh looking scar that crossed his chest diagonally. To the girls, he was an epitome of a bad boy. Zoro did not portray any outward emotion, yet shuddered as a chill ran down his spine as he was very thoroughly checked out by the females. The guys however, had banded together to get rid of this menace. How dare this newcomer come and completely obliterate their chances with the girls? They had already lost a Moka to that chump Tsukune. Hell would freeze over before they let this newbie come in snatch up all the other girls into his personal harem. Couple of them got up, ignoring the teacher's withering looks sent their way. It was up to them to teach the new guy where he was on the totem pole. Sighing, Zoro sent out a burst of killer intent, planting seeds of fear into the hearts of all the males in the classroom, sending them scampering back into their seats. Although Zoro had successfully shown the males that he was not to be fucked with, this cemented Zoro as a bad boy in the eyes of the girls in the room.

"Mew? Oh you must be the new student! Would you kindly introduce yourself?" Ms. Nekonome said cheerfully. As Zoro walked over to her.

"My name is Roronora Zoro" he said. His deep voice echoing through the classroom."Call me Zoro."

No other greeting forthcoming, she herded him into a seat to the right of a scared brown haired kid.

"H-h-hello Roronora-san" the kid sputtered, clearly unnerved by the killer intent Zoro had put off. "M-my name is Tsukune Aono. Nice to meet you."

Now Zoro wasn't the type to get all chummy with everyone that he met, but this kid's presence felt incredibly different from the monsters around him. He felt, well, normal unlike the dark ominous feeling that he got from the rest of monsters in disguise. If Zoro had to guess, this Tsukune kid here was an unlucky human that was surrounded by monsters.

Zoro shot the terrified Tsukune a unthreatening smile. (well, as close as unthreatening as he could pull off) "Nice to meet you." Zoro said as the teacher rattled on , continuing the lesson.

"Hi!" A cheerful pink haired girl said, sitting to the left of Tsukune said. "My name's Moka Akashiya! Nice to meet you!".

Zoro smiled back, but he silently noted to keep an eye on her - she seemed cheerful and carefree as Luffy, but he could sense power coursing through her veins. He sensed something odd about her, as if her power was being held back.

The rest of the class passed by relatively uneventfully. Zoro had warily but surely struck up a friendship with the two. Well, If you ignored the fact that Zoro witnessed Moka chomping down on Tsukune's neck on their way to lunch.. Zoro was about to chop the girl in half until Moka finally let go of the pale Tsukune.

"WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT!" Zoro roared, resisting to slice Moka in half with Sandai Kitesu.

"I-I'm sorry but I'm a vampire." Moka glumly said, tearing up at the prospect of losing a friend, and a new one at that. "His blood smells really good too, like Tsukune-san's." She thought, fearful that she had run into someone who despised vampires.

"Zo-Zoro-san, it's fine really!" Tsukune mumbled weakly. "You -you get used to it..." said Tsukune as he nearly keeled over.

"YOU'RE NOT HELPING IDIOT!" Zoro snapped. His one good eye twitching, he sighed, deciding to apologize. "Look Moka, I've never met a vampire before so that kinda caught me off guard. I'm sorry for yelling at you."

Moka looked up hopefully. "So you don't hate vampires? So can we remain friends?" she sheepishly asked.

"Sure." Zoro grumbled. "Just don't suck my blood okay?" Zoro was not about to be turned into a personal juicebox for a vampire, despite the near limitless amount of blood his veins pumped throughout his body.

"Okay!" Moka brightly answered, slightly crestfallen that Zoro didn't let her suck his blood.

Noticing Tsukune was missing, Zoro sensed around for Tsukune's presence. Thankfully Tsukune was relatively close by and Zoro was able to find him rather quickly.

"Let's go Moka, I find him." Zoro said as they walked towards Tsukune's location.

"Zoro-san?" Moka asked.

"Hm?" Zoro replied.

"Could you tell me what kind of monster you are? You seem really, really strong and I can't really tell kind of monster you are."

"SHIT!" Zoro thought. "What am I gonna tell her? I can't tell her I'm a human being , I don't know how she'll react- crap..."

Luckily for Zoro, they spotted a voluptuous blue haired girl walking towards them rather triumphantly with a dazed looking Tsukune in tow .

"Moka." Tsukune said, with a glazed look over his eyes, "Never come near me again - I'd rather not be treated as a personal blood bank. You don't even treat me as a someone, you're just using me for my blood."

A shocked looking Moka ran off in tears while the blue haired chick seemed rather pleased at herself. She sauntered over to Zoro .

"My name's Kurumu Kurono." She said, deciding to crush Moka even more by taking her only remaining friend.

Zoro felt unnerved - something felt wrong here. He took off after Moka in a flash, leaving a bewildered Kurumu and a dazed Tsukune behind.

"I'll turn you into my personal slave Zoro!" Kurumu snarled "And finally put in my plan of making the school my personal harem!"

It took a while for Zoro to find Moka - it didn't help that those hallways led him in different directions every single time. Zoro was rather surprised to see a rather determined looking running towards him.

With suprising strength and dexterity she started dragging him off somewhere.

"WHERE THE HELL ARE WE GOING MOKA?" Zoro yelled being tugged up a flight of stairs.

"We have to stop Kurumu from kissing Tsukune Zoro-san!" Moka frantically said. "If she kisses him while he's charmed like that, he'll be her slave forever! My rosary said we should stop them right now!"

Zoro had managed to detach himself from her surprisingly strong grip and was running alongside her.

"So you're telling me that your Rosario told you to stop them right?" Zoro said, perplexed that a cross shaped metal stick was able to talk. He was able to ask another question and thought better of it- he talked to reindeer, a skeleton and a cyborg on a daily basis.

As they busted through the door Zoro roared - "Alright Kurumu! Step away fr-WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?".

Sure, it was Kurumu that stood before them, but she was now adorned with purple wings, razor sharp nails, and a tail. Zoro got over his surprise, and leapt between Kurumuu and Tsukune, drawing Shusui and parrying the claws that were headed for Tsukune's jugular. Zoro, who was about to go on the offensive, was surprised to see Kurumu sent flying out the window, courtesy of Moka's vampiric strength. Zoro leapt out after Kurumu, itching for a fight, while Moka and Tsukune followed, taking the stairs.

"So! Roronora Zoro! You must - WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" Kurumu shrieked as Zoro took off his top, stuffing his top down his haramaki. Kurumu's face turned scarlet as she gazed upon Zoro topless. "Why is he making me feel so hot?" thought Kurumu "I've seen dozens of men without their tops but...".

Kurumu shooed away the thought and prepared to fight.

Zoro, not noticing the effect he had a Kurumu merely replied with a feral grin. "This is my favorite outfit - I don't want to get your blood all over it."

"No matter how hot you are, you will not stand between me and my dream of making all the boys in this school my personal harem!" Kurumu screeched swooping down slicing a tree in half in easily.

"She-she cut the tree as if it was butter!" stuttered Tsukune as he and Moka made their way onto the scene.

Moka was silent, watching the fight, fearing for her new friend Zoro.

Laughter. Zoro's booming voiced echoed throughout the forest sending shivers down all those that were in the vicinity.

"You think you can stop me with that measly display of power? That's nothing to be proud of succubus, watch this!." Zoro said.

Zoro took out Shusui and casually sliced the air to his right. A sharp, compressed blade of air cut cleanly through dozens of trees before finally dissipating.

Their jaws would had been resting on the ground had their bodies had the capability to do so.

With a burst of speed, Zoro disappeared and reappeared in front of Kurumu, intent on knocking her out with the flat of his blade.

Kurumu fearfully stared into his eyes (well, eye) and did what she had to do to survive. "Charm!" she said.

The blade was brought to an halt right before it had struck her. Kurumu opened her eyes, having closed the tightly after casting her charm. Zoro stood over her with a glazed look over his eye.

"Go get those two!" stammered Kurumu as she regained her bearings.

Moka quickly turned to Tsukune, grabbing his hand and placing it on her Rosario.

"Tsukune-san, please remove this Rosario!". she yelped. Tsukune obliged and pulled off the Rosario.

A wave of power rolled over Moka, forcing Tsukune back while a emotionless Zoro waited.

"So, that's what her true form looks like..." though Kurumu.

Moka's previous pink, flowery hair had been replaced with silver. Her soft eyes had turned blood red, while slits replaced her irises. Her peaceful, happy demeanor was replaced by a much stern and foreboding one.

"You dare challenge an vampire you low-life?" Inner Moka spat. "KNOW YOUR PLACE!" Moka roared, lunging a Zoro.
