Chapter I. The first two days.

A low sigh escaped a teen's mouth as he finished his breakfast. Sitting alone at a long glass table, the teen decided it was about time he cleaned up. Picking up his bowl and cup, he left for the kitchen where he rinsed out the left over milk into the sink before putting the dishes into the dishwasher. Looking over the kitchen making sure it was spotless the teen then moved into the dinning room to make sure the table was also absolutely clean. Sighing again (for the tenth time) as the house was very quiet. It wasn't really the quiet that brought him down more of the empty feeling he received from it. Father was working, mom at the store, and his brother in college. Deciding he couldn't dally for much longer he walked to the front door where his single bag of luggage and guitar case were waiting as he put his shoes on. Then exiting the empty mansion enjoying the gentle breeze caressing his face as he left the maddening silence.

Once outside the teen squinted his eyes and pulled his beanie down to shield his eyes. In preparation to his first day at school he was in the school uniform with his gray and black striped beanie, protecting his skull from the sun. The uniform was loosing its crisp form as the shirt was left out, only two of the bottom buttons undone, the dark green blazer open, with both blazer and shirt sleeves rolled up. His dark blue tie loose as it swayed in the wind. The wait wasn't even seven minuets before the bus pulled up. The teen checked the front door making sure it was locked before walking to the bus. As the doors opened smoke leisurely floated out of the bus revealing the driver who had a cigar in between his teeth tilting up with the corners of his mouth. With a good morning the teen boarded the bus stumbling on the last step grabbing the rail before he fell. Hiding his embarrassment he was surprised to notice how empty the bus was. Only one other person had been on and he was looking out the window. Taking the seat behind the driver, putting his bag on the floor his guitar under his arm safely. The teen breathed deeply as he parted his black hair from in front of his eyes using the beanie to keep them aside allowing his dark blue eyes to look out the window next to him. The ride itself was fairly short; the longest part of it was getting to the tunnel that allowed them entrance to the school. The teen took one last look out the window saying goodbye to the human world before entering the tunnel.

Exiting the dark tunnel the teen's stomach began to flip and churn as they drew closer. Trying to calm himself he remembered what his mother had told him earlier that morning.

'It's only your first day, try to enjoy it,' She said before taking him into a hug and flashing her famous calming smile. The teen began to miss his mother, as he looked into the dark woods. Just as he began to relax the bus stopped at the boarding and drop off area. Blinking as he came back to reality. The student that was sitting farther back had already exited leaving the teen to rush as he didn't want to hold up the bus. Upon exiting he noticed a familiar scent, a smell he wasn't really expecting. It seemed to be coming from the other student who was observing the area. Dismissing the smell as he decided to check out his surroundings. From the spot the two could see the massive lake under the cliff to there right. In front of them the woods leading to the school.

Looking to the other student dressed in the school uniform his shirt and blazer fully buttoned. His pants didn't sag like the Teen's. His hair was short stopping above his eyes. The teen could see for some reason he seemed disturbed by the forest remembering more of his mother's advice he decided he should attempt to make a friend. Only needing to take a few steps closer the teen asked.

"Sup."

The student jumped as he turned around seeing the teen he smiled as he scratched the back of his head, replying "Hi."

"Names Mizuk Yusuo," the teen said as he extended his hand to the student. "Nice to meet you."

"Tsukune Ano," the student replied as he shook the hand presented to him. "And like wise."

As the two brought there hands back Mizuk grabbed his bag after mentioning they should probably hurry, as being late on the first day wouldn't be good. The walk was relatively quiet, as the two weren't really talking. After tightening the strap that held his guitar case to his back he put his free hand into his pocket to feel the cool metal of his mp3 player. He was taken out of the small calm as someone (a girl) screamed watch out before a loud crash was heard, Mizuk turned to see a pink haired girl had somehow missed Mizuk and crashed into Tsukune with her bike. The teen mentally laughed (thankful he was far enough away to hid his blush) Tsukune was on top of the girl with his hand on the inside of her thigh.

Giving the girl a quick look over she was stunning. (Not adding the cute noise she made as Tsukune accidentally squeezed her thigh) She was dressed in the woman's school uniform, plaid mini skirt with tight fitting buttoned downed shirt and green blazer, The top three buttons undone showing off a metal cross on a leather chocker resting in between her chest, and most interesting of all her pink hair. Once Tsukune noticed where his hand was he quickly took it back (Also pinching his nose bleed) before sitting up. Mizuk sat his luggage down as he walked back to offer assistance but hesitated as the girl leaned in close to Tsukune. Mizuk was to far away to hear the quiet conversation between the two but he could see the girl kiss Tsukune on the neck. But decided it was a hickey as Tsukune yelled once her lips made contact. Not really sure if he should interrupt he felt a little jealous as Tsukune was ether a player or really lucky. Noticing that the two had stood up and where still talking Mizuk decided to leave the two alone as he walked back in his previous direction grabbing his bag on the way.

Quickly stopping by his new dorm room to drop off his things before heading to class. Mizuk was blasting his music as he left the dorms heading to his homeroom class jamming on his air guitar. Upon entering the class it was amazing how much they tried to mimic human schools. Metal frame desks with wooden tops and plastic chair wielded together. A chalkboard at the front of the room, windows along the side of the wall and the teacher writing his name on the green board. Mizuk picked the seat in the back corner next to the window as it gave a good view of the trees surrounding the school and the dark clouds above them. As the bell rang with most of the students in their seats, whistling echoed through out the room. Turning to see what was up, a blue haired girl had entered the room leaving an entourage of men at the door. The girl was very easy on the eyes. In the school skirt (which happened to be queen of mini skirts) her chest looking like it was going to pop out of her yellow school sweater any second. As she walked every man in the room watched her bounce to her seat in the middle of the room. Mizuk grinned and shook his head as the teacher was having a hard time talking over the men hitting on the girl. Having already confirmed in his mind that the girl was way (Way way waaay) out of his league. He went back to looking out the window. Finally gaining control over the class the teacher gave the school introduction on the youkai academy. Saying it was meant to help monsters blend into the human world. Once done he began the roll call, then finished the rest of the school rules and instructions. The first year classes were let out early so the students could wander and get used to the campus.

With his head phones in Mizuk couldn't hear the chatter and gossip that was coming from the other students. Noticing farther down the hallway a familiar color. Knowing he had seen the color somewhere before… 'Ah,' he thought as the memory came back she was the girl Tsukune was talking to earlier that morning. But what made him smile was whose arm she was holding on to. Tsukune was looking at the floor with a worried look on his face as he walked so he didn't notice Mizuk. Not really sure he should say something Mizuk decided it best to just walk by and leave the two alone. But Tsukune had looked up and made eye contact with the teen.

"Hey… umm… Mizuk," Tsukune said a smile growing on his face.

Removing a headphone Mizuk replied "Hey."

"Where did you go earlier you just disappeared."

"Ah um… didn't want to ruin the moment you two had goin on. Plus didn't think you'd really notice," Mizuk said mumbling the last comment.

Before Tsukune could ask his arm was tugged by the girl beside him. "Oh ya pardon my manners this is Moka Akashiya. Moka this is Mizuk Yusuo."

Moka smiled and waved as she moved closer to shake Mizuk's hand, but was interrupted when a youkai had barged into the conversation pushing Mizuk into a wall.

"Your Moka Akashiya right," said the tall youkai. "I'm your classmate Saizou Komiya."

Before anyone could even respond the youkai had picked up Tsukune by his collar asking, "Why is a beautiful lady like your-self associating with a buy like this"?

Shaking Tsukune like a doll, pissing Mizuk off as the guy was being a total ass. Tossing Tsukune the youkai inched closer to Moka trying to use half assed cheesy pick up lines. Mizuk was clenching his fists when Moka grabbed Tsukune who grabbed Mizuk (who yelped out of surprise) with Moka yelling something about having fun with Tsukune as she ran off with both Mizuk and Tsukune flailing like rag dolls behind her.

Moka didn't stop sprinting till she found a lonely corner behind a flight of stairs; Catching her breath while Tsukune and Mizuk were still getting their bearings. Mizuk sat down when Tsukune asked "umm Moka… why do you hang out with me?"

Mizuk quickly put in his headphones as he didn't want to eavesdrop on their conversation, but over the years he had picked up some lip reading. It was near impossible for Mizuk not to laugh as Moka began to lean in for what looked like a kiss just to give him a hickey. But was confused when it looked like Tsukune was actually in pain, but quickly understood after Moka mouthed something about his blood tasting good (Putting two and two together). It got weird for Mizuk as he began to feel uncomfortable when the girls' lips motioned something about her first time. His common sense deciding (screaming) it was time for him to go Tsukune had asked him something.

"Repeat." Mizuk asked taking out a headphone as he also turned down the music.

"What are you going to be doing today"?

"Um, probably go back to my dorm, unpack, practice then sleep… why?"

"Well you looked kinda lonely earlier so just wanted to see if you wanted to hang out for a bit."

"Um…sure." Said Mizuk but regretted his words as Moka looked a little disappointed. "Well you know if Moka doesn't mind."

As Tsukune turned to look at the girl a smile was applied to her face. "Of course more the merrier," Replied the Vampire. Tsukune smiled as he began walking Mizuk and Moka walking shortly behind him. Mizuk was beginning to feel bad, as the only person smiling was Tsukune, Deciding he should try to fix the problem after leaving the school building he asked what they were going to be doing.

"Umm… I don't know," Said Tsukune.

"Well we could get some soda or go to the park near by," said Moka almost inaudible with her low voice. Before anyone could respond Tsukune and Mizuk's' stomach let out a loud growl. "Or we could go to the cafeteria."

Agreeing on the last option the three walked to the cafeteria, Tsukune began talking to Mizuk asking how his classes were. Replying with short and simple answers Mizuk came up with an idea that might help his oblivious acquaintance. 'Accidentally' tripping on a rock and 'accidentally' pushing Moka into Tsukune to spark a conversation (a little slow with blushing) between the two. Mizuk could see them begin to relax and decided to dip set before causing any more damage. After entering the cafeteria Mizuk tried getting separated from the small group only for Tsukune to notice him falling behind and wait for him. This went on for most of the afternoon. Mizuk would wait till Tsukune was fully engrossed with Moka or distracted then try to slip away, only to have Tsukune ask him something destroying his attempts. Eventually Mizuk gave up and tried to enjoy himself, in the end he actually began to have fun.

The day went by into a close as the three teens stopped in front of the dorms. Both Tsukune and Mika were carrying their bags

'Ah haven't had that much fun in… well a very long time," Said Mizuk.

"Ya it was nice," Added Tsukune.

As the group enjoyed each other's company settling into the peaceful calm only friends can bring. "These dorms are really nice," Said Moka admiring the buildings

"Ya makes you feel at home," commented Mizuk fixing his beanie while fixing his hair. Tsukunes' mouth drooped at the two teens comments.

"There's no way were looking at the same buildings" Tsukune said, shock with confusion in his voice.

"What how can you not like this," Asked Mizuk. "As a fellow youkai how can you not like this?"

"What kind are you anyway," Asked Moka. As the two teens looked at the human who began to look a little pale.

"Oh that's right it's against school rules to tell, never mind," Giggled Moka.

As the color began to return to Tsukune's face it looked as if he was thinking very hard on something.

"Wait a sec, why don't you look like a vampire or… you why don you two look human," Asked Tsukune.

"Well for me it's my Rosary it binds my powers sealing away my true from," explained Moka as she cradled the cross on her chest.

Mizuk just shook his head saying "to Complicated."

Tsukune still had that deep thought look on his face. That is till Moka walked over breaking his concentration as she leaned in closet to give his neck a nice kiss.

Rubbing his neck Tsukune let out a deep sigh as he walked to his dorm with Mizuk. Coming up to his room Mizuk put down the bag he was holding for him with a smile.

"What," asked Tsukune.

"Your next to me," said Mizuk his smile showing off his canines as he pointed to his room. Tsukune smiled back as he was happy he would be bunking next to his new friend, but the way Mizuk smiled looked like he was going to eat him or something.

The two said night as they went into there rooms. Tsukune was examining the room when he began to feel cramped. Decorated with a bed, desk, closet, and a joined walk in kitchen with the necessities. Dropping his bags at the door the human walked to his window looking over the forest as the night darkened. Leaving his window to fall onto the bed Tsukune messaged his temples as he tried to think of what to do. The knowledge of knowing he was in a school meant for monsters kept plaguing his mind. 'What if they find out they'll kill me... or eat me… or torture me. Maybe do weird and painful experiments.' And just before the paranoia claimed him a calming tone had drifted into his room. As Tsukune listened he could feel the strings singing a sad tail of loneliness. Wondering where the sound was coming from the human got off his bed walking around the room looking for the source. As he got closer to his kitchen the louder the rifts became. As he sat on the tiled kitchen floor Tsukune closed his eyes as the music calmed and blended with his soul.

The morning took Tsukune by surprise as he woke up on the cold floor confused. Standing up he remembered the music from last night and wondered who was playing the calming yet depressing melody. Putting the thought out of his mind the human cleaned himself then dressed for the day.

Leaving his room and walking over to the room on his left he knocked on the door. When he got no response he knocked again. Getting no response again Tsukune had just decided to leave when the door creaked open.

""Hey m… wow," Said Tsukune jumping back. Through the crack in the door a deathly pale face with hair covering the eyes but an eerie indigo light filtered through the stands of hair looking like the walking dead. Mizuk had an empty stare in his eyes, then blinked a few times before fully waking up the color returning to his face and recognizing the person at his door.

"Oh hey man what you doin up so early," asked the teen.

Tsukune (now done with his hyperventilating session) responded, "Wanted to see if you wanted to walk with me to class."

The blank stare returning to Mizuk's face blinked a couple more times before it clicked. "Crap." Quickly slamming the door in Tsukune's face confused him but was almost trampled by Mizuk as he left to take care of his early morning duties.

Half way to school walking along the outer wall Tsukune thought of how he was going to survive the next three years alive when a familiar youkai walked in-front of him.

"Hear you were with Moka yesterday," Said Saizou. Grabbing Tsukune and slamming him into the wall. "Who do you think you are talking to Moka you must be one cocky youkai to be talking to her… actually y… what are you," He asked his left eyebrow rising.

Panicking and saying the first thing that came to mind the words just spewed out. "I'm a vampire."

"Ha," laughed the youkai as he dropped Tsukune. Before the human could finish letting out a deep sigh Saizou's fist expanded into a giant mallet of a hand and punched the wall behind Tsukune reducing the stone to small pebbles.. The students near by began to stop and stare watching the scene playing out. Tsukune's heart plummeted and he fell to the floor as it looked like Saizou's giant hand was going to crush him.

"Ha, vampire right."

As Tsukune closed his eyes and put his arms in front of his face he could of sworn he heard yelling. As nothing was happening he opened his eyes and there was Mizuk with his back to Tsukune as he stared at Saizou. Rubbing his eyes the human could have sword the air around Mizuk was distorting almost as if…

Saizou began cussing (loudly) as he held his injured arm (now back to normal) walking away, he looked back at Tsukune yelling. "Stay away from Moka you hear!"

Mizuk hated bullies; taking their self-loathing out on other people had always irked him. Setting that aside and putting a smile on his face he turned around and extended his hand to help Tsukune up. "You ok?" Tsukune' eyes went big before he got up and sprinted back in the direction of the dorms. Confusion written on Mizuk's face he looked in the direction of the fleeing teen thinking it was just shock or something. "Hope the rest of his week gets better." After checking his watch Mizuk began running to class as he was already running late.

At the entrance of the academy Mizuk almost ran into Moka as she was waiting at the main gate pacing back and forth.

"Thought you would be in class by now," Said Mizuk.

"I was waiting for Tsukune," Replied the pick haired girl.

"Ah, well he's going to be a little late."

"Why?"

"Think he's just scarred, that Saizou guy was messing with him."

Moka had a look of worry on her face as she began to get twitchy before she took off full sprint in the direction of the dorms.

"You're a lucky man Tsukune," Said Mizuk with a smile as the bell rang.

Upon entering his classroom out of breath Mizuk apologized to his teacher for being late. Taking his seat he sat his bag down not noticing that the blue haired girl was sitting next to him. Mizuk was fixing his beanie when the girl began talking to him.

"you hang out with Moka right," She asked.

Mizuk moved his hair from in front of his eyes as he looked at the girl, then around him to make sure that she was talking to him.

Yes, you," Said the girl with a hint of annoyance in her voice.

"Ummm ya…why?"

"Who's the guy that's always around her?"

"Why." Asked Mizuk confused as to why she was even talking to him.

Letting out an irritated sigh as the girl looked to the teacher, who had his back to the class absorbed in his lecture. Looking back at Mizuk the teen grew light headed and found it hard to concentrate as he's eyes glazed over. "Back to my previous question the guy." Now back to her sweet voice.

"That's Tsukune Ano."

"Good, now when are they not together?"

Mizuk laughed before responding. "Never."

A look of agitation was now on the girls face. "Are they dating," She asked dropping the sweetness.

"I… don't think so."

"Hmmm ok good," Said the girl as she broke eye contact.

Mizuk shook his head and looked around confused. For the life of him he couldn't remember what he was just doing. Figuring it wasn't important he turned back to the lecture as he took out his notebook to take notes. The blue haired girl smiled as planes started to brew.

Waiting in line for lunch Mizuk turned his head as someone called his name. Seeing it was Tsukune with Moka latched to his arm with an all to comfortable smile on her face. Mizuk chuckled at the sight before him the two looked like a couple if he didn't know any better.

As the two caught up to him Tsukune apologized about running earlier.

"Don't sweat it." Was his response.

After grabbing his food and finding a place to sit Tsukune told him about what happened with Saizou. Mizuk was laughing inside when he heard what Moka (inner) had done to the youkai. 'No offense to Moka but the guy acts like he's a badass then gets his but handed to him by Moka the hottest girl at this school. That has got to damage his rep, Wish I could have seen that, who knew Moka could kick ass,' thought Mizuk who was on cloud nine missing Moka begging Tsukune to let her have a sip.

On the far side of the cafatera with a crod of boys on her left and right sat the blue haired girl watching Moka.

well thats the end of the chapter. please review and hopefully it was good
