Grand Blue's Roar

Chapter 1 - From One to Another

I do not own Rosario + Vampire in any way

My alarm rang making me wake up. I wanted to shut it off and go back to sleep but I knew that I had to get up. I threw off the covers and stood up, a slight clanking coming from my neck. I looked around my room and saw nothing had changed, not that I expected it to.

The black slightly see through curtain stopping the sun from shining in my room. The wall white without any posters or anything to really personalize it. There was the usual two doors, one in front wall that lead to a personal bathroom and the other leading out of my room. I looked to my left where my nightstand was and saw the only object that was really mine in the room. A small key.

I grabbed the key and got out of my bed. I walked to the bathroom door and opened it. I walked into the bathroom and closed the door. I looked around the bathroom.

My bathroom looked like it was ultra modern and from what I understood humans liked this look. I didn't understand why. A metal shower stall with highly resistant glass surrounding it and a metal sink with a counter that was a mix of highly resistant rock and glass were needed though or the damages would be outrageous. And at the point of those too thing were in it was too hard to make the bathroom look like anything else but ultra modern as it wouldn't fit.

I looked at the tub and inspected it for any cracks. Seeing none I started to undress. The clanking around my neck constantly annoying me. Once undressed I looked to the sink and looked into the mirror just above it.

The first thing my eyes locked onto was not the collar on my neck but my seafoam green hair that was just barely short enough to miss getting in my eyes. Something that people constantly questioned me about. Thank you to my mother's side that I hair of this colour. Even teachers had called my mother thinking that I had coloured my hair. At times it took her coming in herself and showing them her similar coloured hair to make them believe.

Though that didn't help with my peers. Humans enjoying making fun of people that were different, even slightly. It made it harder for me to make friends during my early school years. Even during middle school I barely had anyone I'd call a real friend. I had some tentative friendships but those usually eroded quickly.

The next thing my eyes locked onto was my collar that my mother gave me when I was just a young child. It hung at a lopsided angle as it was slightly bigger than my thin neck. The material being made out of a very rare material which was a mixture of highly resistant materials, most of which was unknown to the human world, coloured black with a thin line of white metal at the top and bottom. Then my eyes focused onto the source of the clanking sound.

A royal looking padlock that was more square and thin than a normal padlock. Seemingly made out of gold like substance along with a dull brown gem embedded on each side in the very center, laid flat just a little under my collarbone. The collar and lock joined together by two small metal loops on the collar.

This thing was what usually eroded the friendships I could make. It was very odd to wear something like this in normal day human life. From what I could tell people thought I was full of myself by wearing something so outrageous looking. In reality it was keeping most of them alive.

I reached for the lock and grabbed it and held it, pulling the collar forward slightly. I reached up with my other hand, holding the key, and put it into the keyhole on the bottom of the lock. I looked back into the mirror and this time at my eyes.

My eyes were a painfully dark electric blue colour. Something that I heard came from my father. Not that I knew though since I never seen his eyes.

I turned the key and heard the slight click of the lock coming undone. I pulled the padlock down and it come off the collar. I instantly felt energy fill my body, like I could run around town a hundred time and not even feel it. It felt like… liberation.

I pulled the now unlocked collar off of my neck as my eyes changed. The dark blue turned into a bright light blue. I ignored the other other changes on my body as I could literally feel them. I didn't know why but my eyes changing always fascinated me.

I put the collar onto the metal sink and turn around toward the shower stall. I opened it up and turned on the water, making sure to stay away from getting wet. After a few seconds I knew the water was warm enough and I walked into the shower.

The instant the water hit me I could feel the metal of the shower stall absorbing all the unrestrained energy coming off of my body and the energy the water gained from touching my body. Washing wasn't always the most pleasant experience because of this. I quickly finished and jumped out of the shower. I touched the sink with my hand and felt any loose energy filter out of my body and into the sink.

With that done I grabbed the collar and lock and walked out of the bathroom. I walked into my room and looked toward my closet. I knew that my clothes today were already prepared for me but a part of me didn't want to put them on. I could feel the same sense of dread fill me thinking about starting school again, even though I knew it would be different this time. There would be no humans this time around.

I walked to the closet and opened it up. My eyes landing on the foremost outfit. A white undershirt with a collar, something I could use a bit to hide my collar maybe? Along with a green blazer. Normally there would be a red tie to go along with it but I was except from that rule because of my collar. And also tan pants. With a heavy sigh I started I grabbed a pair of underwear and put them on, then the pants, undershirt. Then I paused and looked to the collar.

This was always the painful part of the day. I grabbed the collar and put it around my neck, making sure to get the loops lined up so I could get the lock on. I grabbed the lock and hung it around the loops, though not locking it. I could already feel the lock taking away the normal amount of energy I should naturally have. I took a deep breath and clicked the lock into place.

Suddenly my body felt really heavy and I fell to the ground on my knees. My body trying to get use to the sudden loss of energy. After a nearly ten seconds of counting I tried to stand up and I was able to, though with shaking knees and heavy breathing. Another half of minute of resting and I felt my body return to as high of energy as I could get with this stupid limiter on.

I got up and put on the blazer with a little trouble. My body still felt stiff. Even years of putting on the lock and it still weakened me this much. I couldn't help but be annoyed at the collar as I slipped the key into my pants pocket. With my school uniform on I walked out of my room into the small hallway.

I glanced to my left and saw the door was closed. Not that it was unusual. I knew my mother was asleep in there probably after another long night of work. She pushes herself too hard but that's just the way she was. And no one, not even me her child, could change her. She just had too much energy, even with her lock.

I looked to my left and saw the rest of the hallway along with a set of stairs going down at the end. I walked down the hallway and down the stairs ending up in our living room.

The living room didn't have much except a white couch and surprisingly large tv. Connected to the living room was the kitchen which was almost always sparkling clean except for when I used it. I glanced at the metal sink and saw some dishes in it. That was odd. I turned to the refrigerator and saw a sticky note on it with very smooth handwriting. I took it off and read it.

Sorry that I couldn't be up for you to leave but I had another late night at work. We are close to finding it. I hope the breakfast I made you will make it up to you.

- Love, Okaa-san

I put the note down and opened up the fridge. I saw a small small bowl of rice porridge inside right in front. I grabbed it and put it on the counter, a sad smile on my face. She may not be around physically often for me but she always left little signs that she really loved me.

Though it made sense since she took her job very seriously, especially since it concerned me and what I am. I still missed her and her hugs, her caring for me directly. It was hard since I barely have seen her since I entered middle school and had to deal with everything myself but there was always someone around to help if I needed it, Okaa-sama made sure of that.

I closed the fridge and grabbed the bowl again. I walked to the small table we had in the kitchen and put the bowl down. I went to a draw and grabbed a metal spoon, made out of the same metal as the sink, and sat down at the table. I started to eat the porridge even though it was cold. I didn't really mind, it woke my body more this way.

After finishing I looked to my wrist to look at my analog watch to see that it was missing. I walked back up the stairs and back into my room and saw the watch sitting on my nightstand. I walked to it and picked it up, the metal it was made out of shining even with the limited light. I pushed my sleeve up and put it on, the slightly cool metal making my wrist uncomfortable.

I quickly looked at the time and saw it was 7:26 am. I put my sleeve over the watch hoping to warm it up. I walked back down to the living room then to the entranceway to the house. My briefcase for school and suitcase already sitting there, waiting for me to take them on a journey. I had about thirty-four minutes to make a twenty minute journey. Though if she was there then it would be thirty minutes. And she would be there.

I grabbed the suitcase and opened it up and put the briefcase into it, I don't know why I didn't think of that earlier. With only one thing to carry I opened the front door and walked outside into the bright morning. I closed the door behind me and walked out of our front yard though the gate.

The instant I did I felt a small body hit me. I looked to my left and saw a small brown haired girl in a mostly white school uniform with a scarf around her neck hugging my leg. "Do you really have to go Ashi-nii-san?" I looked down to the girl who was nearly on the verge of tears. I rubbed the top of her head.

"Yes, but I'll come back for summer and spend it with you, kay Emiri-chan?" I saw the girl pout but nod nonetheless. "Come on, let's get you to school." I started to walk, with her attached to my leg. She quickly let go and started to walk beside me, her backpack bouncing less than normal for her.

Emiri was my neighbor who was in her last year of primary school. She suddenly showed up out of the blue two years ago. From what I knew her grandmother actually was the one to live at that house. She moved to her grandmother when her mother and father died in a car crash. Luckily she was at school at the time so she wasn't hurt at all physically. Mentally however she was destroyed.

When I first met her she was pretty much a shell of a human. She didn't care about anything happened around her and she just listened to anything anyone told her to do. I don't know how but I somehow broke her out of that slump about a month after she arrived. From then on she always called me her big brother and had me walk her to school. Which wasn't a problem since it was on the way to my school.

After nearly twenty-five minute walk we got to the gates of her school. Emiri started to walk to the gate but she suddenly turned around and ran back to me. "Ashi-nii-san, you better come back!" I saw her start to bounce around, her energy seemly coming back at random. She's going to be a handful when she gets older.

I put my hand on top of her head, making her pout. "Of course. But you might get a boyfriend and might want me to stay away." I saw her pout form into a scowl and a blush.

"Nii-san!" She went to kick me but I quickly dodge it. No human would ever be able to touch me, much less Emiri. "I don't want anything to do with yucky boys." I pointed to myself.

"I'm a boy."

"You're not, you're Ashi-nii-san." Wait, was see putting me in my own section outside of male and female? Before I could ask a two friends ran up to Emiri and stood next to her. They glared at me before taking Emiri into a conversation about some weird girl stuff.

Emiri's friends usually did this so it wasn't too annoying. I couldn't get my question answered this time but it didn't really matter. I glanced at my watch. 7:53. I had seven minutes to make a five minute walk. I looked to Emiri and saw her glancing between her friends and me. I could tell she wanted to keep talking but her friends were blocking her.

I point to my watch and mouthed I had to go anyway. I saw a little relief but also sorrow fill her face. I gave her a small wave. She did the same and I started to walk to where the bus to pick me up was going to be.

After my five minute walk I got to the bus station and noticed one other person waiting. He was wearing the same exact uniform, except with the red tie. His brown spiky hair and light brown eyes, which were looking at me, made it easy to put a name to him. Aono Tsukune.

He was someone that I saw every once in a while back in middle school. We actually had the final two years together but we never talked. Probably because of the stigma to be friends with me. I was surprised he was here. I always thought he was a human. He smelled like a human and acted like a human. He must have a pretty good handle of his yokai to hide his true form so easily or had a limiter like me.

I got up to the stop and glanced at him. I saw he was a little off put by seeing me here. "Um, hi Kobaruto-san."

"Hey." Though there was the fact that he knew my last name. If he was a monster of any slightly higher intelligence then he knew what that name meant. Guess he must be a low intelligent monster like an imp or something. I really didn't know what to talk about and my mind started to run through topics. Though nothing came to mind for low intelligent monsters.

I heard something on the road and and looked toward it. It was the bus. Good, the awkward silence was getting to me. The bus came to a stop in front of us and it's door opened. I walked to the bus and walked into it. I heard the driver mumble something like to do with 'unexpected consequences' but I ignored it. Okaa-sama told me it was better to leave the insane monsters to their devices.

I looked around the bus and saw that it was completely empty. Great. I walked a few rows back and saw down, setting my suitcase next to me. Aono sat down a row in front of me. The bus took off the instant he sat down.

After a few minutes of silence Aono's phone rang. He picked it up and started to talking to someone. I started to eavesdrop on the conversation but didn't hear anything interesting and quickly took my attention to other matters. Like getting Aono to not call me by my last name when we get to the academy.

My attention got taken when we suddenly got sucked into a weird tunnel of energy. Being what I was I could feel a massive amount of power coming from it. I looked toward the driver and felt the energy opening this tunnel coming from him. I felt my instincts telling me that fighting him meant a loss now matter how strong I was.

I saw his red eyes look at me through the rearview mirror and a frown adorn his face. I quickly looked away back to the waving energy. "Kyoko?" I refocused on Aono. His face confused as he started at his phone. Did he parents not inform him that anything that relied on something from the human wouldn't work?

"It won't work." I saw Aono look at me with the same confused look.

"Why?" I pointed to the window. His eyes widening at the tunnel's energies.

"The connection won't go through since we're not longer in the hu.." The bus suddenly lurched to a stop making my face imprint into the seat Aono was sitting in.

"We're here." I pulled my face out of the seat and looked to the driver. His face had an even bigger frown. Even with those glasses on his face I could tell he was glaring at me. Aono got out of his seat and made his way out of the bus. "Be careful Yokai can be a scary place." I got up, carrying my suitcase, and followed Aono.

We got off the bus and the door closed. Aono looked at me "What did he mean by scary place?" I could tell Aono was slightly unnerved. Was he really that weak of a monster? I gave him a small wave of my hand.

"No worse than a normal place for us." I started to walk along the pathway. "We should go before we're late for the introduction class." Aono ran and caught but with me, his feet making the leaves crunch abnormally loud. "Oh Aono-san."

"What is it Kobaruto-san?"

"Could you call me by first name?"

"Okay, but why?" I paused. Should I give him the vague truth or just right out lie? I looked to Aono and saw him staring at the skulls and tombstone around us frightened. Well it's not like telling him the vague truth could hurt anymore, it could only help really.

"My last name has quite a bit of meaning to it to and I'd rather not have a lot of people know." Aono looked concerned for a moment before his face broke into a smile.

"Sure. But," Aono started to rub his head. "What is your first name anyway?" Right.

"It's Arashi." I saw Aono look like he was processing the info.

"Okay, but if I'm calling you Arashi you should call me Tsukune." I nodded my head.

"I can do that Tsukune-san." That smile of his came back.

"Alright, Arashi-san." I then heard something to our left. A crashing sound. I glanced to my left and saw something fast moving toward us. I jumped out of the way, expecting Aono to do the same but he just stood there looking at me like I'm an idiot. "What are you…"

"Watch out!" A female voice cut off Tsukune before a bike hit him. Making him and the rider fly through the air. Even I flinched when they impacted on the ground. I looked at Tsukune and saw he had his hand on the newcomer's thigh.

I then looked at the newcomer and saw that it was a her, if the skirt and voice was anything to tell from. She was wearing the female version of our school uniform. With long bright pink hair contrasting the green uniform. The thing that caught my eyes was the hanging rosario hanging from a collar from her neck. Was that a limiter or a fashion choice?

The two of them started to get up. This was going to get interesting. "Sorry, my eyes got blurry. I'm anemic." The girl started to rub her eyes. Then I heard the girl moan as Tsukune did something to her. What was he doing? Before I could fully tell Tsukune pulled his arm away.

"I didn't mean to!" It was actually pretty funny to see Tsukune panic like his was. I noticed a bit of blood coming from his nose. The girl seemed to noticed to and pulled out a handkerchief. She went to clean up the blood before she stopped and muttered something. Tsukune heard and he seemed like he smelled her hair. What he a pervert?

Suddenly the girl bit Tsukune. I was shocked and it seemed like Tsukune was to. There was complete silence for a few seconds before the girl let go of his neck. The girl's face had a full on blush. "Sorry, you're scent was so intoxicating. I couldn't help myself." Tsukune suddenly panicked and he scrambled away from her.

"Y..You bit me!"

"Well that's because I'm a vampire." I felt my blood run cold. This girl was a vampire? So that rosario around her neck was the real deal. "Are you also a student going to Youkai academy?"

"Yes." It seems like the two forgot I was here. That's fine. I got my entertainment from this and start to walk away. There was also the fact that I didn't want to be around a vampire that also helped me make my choice. "Ko… Arashi-san where are you going?" I could easily hear the panic in Tsukune's voice.

I gave a heavy sigh. I really didn't have the energy to deal with this today. However, I turned back and walked back to the girl and Tsukune. "I was just checking something." I saw the girl was nervous. Why was a vampire nervous? We should be the one's in fear. She pulls off that rosario and we were done for if I can't release my lock, and even if I could…

"Arashi-san, this is Akashiya-san."

"I prefer Moka." The girl broke in Tsukune's intro of her. That cemented that she was a vampire in my mind now. That last name was related to vampires and quite famously to as it was linked directly with Shuzen. No doubt she'd prefer her first name to avoid unwanted attention, just like me. "You two don't hate vampires do you?"

I saw Tsukune give me a weird look, prompting me to answer. "I don't really have much of an opinion." I really couldn't say yes to that question in front of a vampire now, could I? "Tsukune-san?" He shook his head.

"I've never met a vampire before, but so far I'm glad I have." You won't be when she beats you into the ground with ease.

"Thank goodness. I thought I wasn't going to met any friends here but I've already met two." I wouldn't call us friends vampee. I looked at my watch.

"Um, we're late."

I opened up the classroom door and saw the teacher was in middle of a speech. He stopped as soon as he saw me. "And you are?" I walked into the room, my eyes instantly focusing on a small girl with a witches hat on who looked almost like Emiri, I paused for a second before refocusing.

"I'm Arashi, sorry I was late. Someone literally ran into my friend with a bike." I saw him nod and motioned for me to sit down. Making some mark on the paper he had in front of him. I looked at only seat open, next to the Emiri look alike.

I sat down and glanced at the girl. She looked at me with a sour face. I looked away and back to the teacher. What was her problem? Didn't she know that she was bound to get strange looks with a outfit like that? Actually what was a girl that young doing here anyway? She was probably around Emiri's age and she was just entering sixth grade.

"Sensei, why is there a little girl here?" Guess my question was about to be answered.

"Sendou-san as skipped multiple grades. As such she is a peer to you and you will treat her as an equal. Any other questions?" I heard more shuffling.

"Why did Arashi-san not give his other name?" I saw the teacher glance at me.

"Because his family requested it to be hidden for the time being." I heard whispering start to go between the students. 'Was he disowned?' That's not going to happen, 'Maybe his family is royalty.' Not totally inaccurate, 'Maybe his family is full of murders' Not anymore than yours. The teacher then cleared his throat. "As such please make sure to treat Arashi-san like you would anyone else, not matter what others say."

It was nice he was trying to do damage control for me but I figured this was going to happen. Funny how monsters came up with similar ideas as humans did when I tried to avoid using my last name.

"Anyway, let me explain more about how the academy works….."

That was an exhausting day. It turned out Sendou really didn't like me for some reason and kept glaring at me throughout the day. Mix that with most of the students of that class making and then spreading rumors about me during lunch, well I wanted sleep. At least I didn't have to carry my annoying suitcase as one of the things freshmen did was find their dorms and put away their possessions.

As I was on the path out of the main grounds of the school I heard a small person running. I turned my head and felt someone run into me. The only person I knew that size was going to be Sendou or Emiri, and I was sure Emiri wasn't a monster.

I looked down and saw Sendou was covered in sweat and small bits of dirt. She quickly looked up at me with wide eyes. Was she running in fear? She went to take off again but I grabbed her hat. I saw that she was torn between leaving her hat behind or escaping.

She looked so much like Emiri I couldn't help myself but feel the need to help her. "Sendou-san whatever is going on I'll help but just calm down." I saw the little witch calm down a little, though her eyes kept jumping all around.

"I… I don't need the help from someone of low intelligence." I frowned and flicked Sendou gently on the forehead. She covered the area with her hands and frowned at me. "Don't hit my head you moguel, and give me back my hat!"

"Tell me what's going on and I'll give you back your hat."

"There she is!" I looked toward the school gate and saw two men coming toward us. Each one had a large red mark on their face. Both looked pretty generic, their youkai must be pretty weak.

"Thanks for catching the little bitch. Time for payback." I gave a sigh and moved so I was in between her and the two guys. I could tell that everyone was a little taken back that I was stopping them, a rarity in the monster world.

"Look, could you just tell me what Sendou-san did to you?" I really just wanted to go back to my dorm and sleep but I couldn't leave a girl that looked so close to Emiri to get hurt.

"She hit us with washing pans." I looked back at Sendou.

"Did you do that?" I saw Sendou nod, almost proud of what she did.

"Of course I did. Anyone who is less intelligent than me.." I gave Sendou a light whack on the head making her stop her speech. She started to rubbing her head with a pout on her face. "That hurt."

"Good, don't hit people with wash pans." I turned toward the two guys. "And you two, are you really chasing down a little girl?" I saw one guy look slightly ashamed, while the other was still surprised. "Seriously." I have another sigh before yawning slightly. "Now…"

"Who the hell do you think you are?" I looked to the guy who was surprised. It seemed his brain finally processed everything and he wasn't happy about it. "She deserves to be punished, not just a little tap on the head." The other guy decided that he was over with this and took off back towards the school.

The guy who had a problem started to bulk up. After a half second his shirt ripped open showing his body was growing a massive amount of hair. On the top of his head small horns started to form. His shoes burst open showing hooves instead of feet. At the end of his transformation he was a nearly seven feet tall minotaur.

I felt Sendou hide behind me from the large beast. Why did I have to get involved? Now a B ranked monster wanted to pick a fight of me. I really didn't feel like fighting.

Maybe I could outrun it? I could but Sendou couldn't. Sendou couldn't fight something like this either. Guess I had to get involved.

I gave a sigh and stepped forward. "As much as I hate to say this I have to. I can't let you hurt Sendou-san." The minotoror gave a roar as he ran toward me, the ground vibrating slightly with each of his steps.

He raised his arm and brought it down where I was. I stepped to my left and let the fur covered arms crash into the ground next to me, causing dust to fly in the air everywhere. I gently put my hand on his arm and let my youkai change into energy. The energy flowed out of me into the minotaur.

The air instantly got a burnt smell and I felt the minotaur body tense up as I kept my energy flowing into him. I cut off the energy as the dust settled and put my arm back to my side. The minotaur's fur was now puffed out making him look like a giant ball of poof. Steam was slightly wafting off of him. His body fell down, making the ground vibrate again, unconscious.

I turned around and saw Sendou was just staring at me. I gave her a small wave. "You okay?" My words seemed to jump start her brain.

"Um, yes." I could see that Sendou didn't really know what to do. Was she really that unsociable that she didn't know how to say thanks? Whatever, I was even more tired now.

"Well, I'm off then." I have her a wave and start to walk away. "Try not to get into anymore trouble."

With that finished I made my way to the boys dorm. I opened up the entrance door and entered. I looked around the moderately large main hall. On the far left way was a counter where a large man was sat, reading a book. He must be the receptionist of a sort.

I ignored him and looked forward and saw a set of stairs going upward. That's probably where the rooms started. I walked up the past the second floor and stopped on the third. I made a beeline toward my room and took out the key for my room out of my left pocket. I really needed a key ring or something. One key for a door, one for unsealing myself, what's next a key to a girl's room?

I took off my clothes, managing to get my shirt off without taking off my collar luckily, and put on some a some pajamas. I layed down on my the bed and gave a sigh, I had the feeling that I was going to be more tired tomorrow.

I entered the classroom and made my way to my seat. I sat down and glanced over to Sendou. She was staring at me with a strange intensity. What was up with her? Did she think me helping her yesterday was me actually caring about her? I needed to fix that I didn't need another Emiri on my hands.

The teacher then walked in. I saw him look at me then to his materials. "Today we will have a preliminary test to see where each of you are academically." He started to walk around and handout a test to each person. "This will not affect your grade in any classes so if you don't know the answer then don't worry." I got the paper on my desk and looked over the test. It wasn't anything out of the ordinary as far so I could tell.

I started to work through the problems and got through about two thirds of the test by the twenty minute mark. Though the problems were now taking me quite a few minutes to finish now. I heard a clank of wood next to me and I glanced over. I saw Sendou was had put her pencil down and had her test on last page, which was completely filled with a long formula. Curious, I turned my test to the last page.

What is the hyper cosmic theory of youkai and the relative equation of the long lasting effects of youkai in an environment which is not use to youkai.

My brain just hurt looking at that equation. I turned back to the page I was working on, knowing that I only had a few pages left since I wasn't getting the last question.

The bell rang to signal the end of the two hour testing day we had. Luckily that was the only thing we were doing today with school because I couldn't think properly after doing all of those questions.

I set my head down on my desk so I could relax a few seconds before getting up and going to my room, as the majority of the students left the room. After a second or two I heard muttering in the room increase from the few students remained. Not that it mattered I just wanted to relax.

"Arashi-san." I knew that voice all too well. Maybe if I pretended to ignore Sendou she would just leave. "Arashi-san, I know you can hear me."

With a sigh I raised my head and propped it up with my hand, my elbow resting on my desk. "What is it Sendou-san?" She had her arms crossed over her chest. I wonder where her wand is.

"You shall of the great honour of protecting me, the great genius Yukari.." I started to wave my hand.

"No thanks." I laid my head back down on my desk. If Sendou is anything like Emiri though then if I disagree she'll just keep pushing this until I agreed. Though it sounded like too much work in my opinion.

"You can't just say no to me." I hate when I'm right. I stood up from my desk and picked up my briefcase. I walked to Sendou and flicked her on the forehead again.

"I just did." I went walked to the door of the class room and casually opened it, stepped out, and closed it. I knew Sendou would follow me nonetheless though. As I started to walk down the hall the door to the classroom slammed open.

"You beast! Why don't you listen to those who are smarter than you?" I chuckled at that. Okaa-sama was way smarter than Sendou and I didn't even listen to her at times. I decided I shouldn't encourage her and ignored her.

I felt a small spike of youkai above me. I looked up just in time to see a wash pan slam on my face. The pan slide off of my face as a young girl's laugh filled the empty halls. I turned to Sendou and saw her laughing her guts out, wand in hand. I remember Emiri acting like this at a time, minus the randomly appearing wash pans, mostly…

As much as I hated wasting energy on something like this it would only continue to be an annoyance if Sendou kept acting like a spoiled brat. It was either going to get her hurt, killed, eaten alive, or any number of terrible outcomes.

I walked to the still laughing witch and grabbed her hat again. I lifted it off her head and lightly tapped her on the head, stopping her laughter. "Those wash pans hurt." I turned and started to walk away, her hat in hand so she had to follow me. "Come on let's talk." She started to chase after me.

"Give me my hat back."

"I will once we are done talking." Sendou puffed up her cheeks. She was really acting like a child.

"Why would someone like me want to speak to someone like you? You probably won't understand half the words I would say." She was now getting on my nerve a little.

"Unfortunately for you, I am do not have the intelligence of an orc. I can understand what you say and even worse for you I have the power to back whatever I say. You don't." I saw the little girl glare at me and open her mouth to object. "If it wasn't true then you wouldn't ask for my help with protection." She shut her mouth.

It also wasn't hard to tell that the events from yesterday was still scared her. I swear if she didn't seem so much like Emiri. I stopped walking down the random hallway and plopped her hat back on her head. This was going to be draining on me in the future. "You want protection I will. However, I want payment."

"I.. I don't have any money."

"I don't want money." I started walking closer to Sendou and saw fear etched across her face. I thought for a second and realized why. "No, no, no." I shook my head. "I want you to behave yourself. No aggravating others on purpose. No more insults. No more wash pans, unless you're protecting yourself."

Sendou seemed to think about the conditions. "What happens if I don't follow your rules? Will you just leave?" Would I just leave her? I don't know. It would make as a decent threat or a reason for her not to take the deal.

"I won't let anyone kill you or permanently hurt you but I won't stop them from roughing you up." Sendou seemed a little off put at the idea of someone actually killing her but her nodded.

"I think someone of my intelligence can handle such a deal." There was the cocky attitude. I guess small steps over a long period. Take less energy that way to.

"Come on, let's get going." I started to walk away from Sendou. She ran after me.

"Where are we going?"

"The girl's dorm to stop you off so I can go to my room and sleep."

"But what about dinner?" I paused. Right, her body took food three times a day to keep her alive. And knowing what little I did about normal human bodies, chips and other junk food that one could get at dorm vending machines wouldn't be good in the long run.

I looked at my watch. 3:40 pm. "I'll come by 5:30 and we'll walk to the cafeteria, eat, and go back to our rooms." That'll take away from my sleeping time but I was about to lose it to homework anyway.

"What about weekends and I want to go do something?" I looked back at the witch.

"Give me an example. of something you do" We both stopped and a twenty second long silence insuded. "Right. I'll think about it on a case by case bases then." I started off again to make my way out of the school, Sendou following behind me.

There are two new polls up on the forum. One for the pairing for Tsukune and the other for the pairing for Arashi.

If you have a preference to who either one ends up with make sure to vote.

Also I will be messing with the timeline of things to make the future chapters have more content. If you don't like events to be moved around then I apologize.

Also if anyone has an idea of what monster Arashi is then please send me a message as the first person who guesses correctly, before the next chapter goes up, will get a prize. (Which has, unfortunately, yet to be decided)

Next chapter - Rosario Plus vs Limiter Minus
