Chapter- 1- Awaken! The Prince of Darkness! Black Selena!
"Yuki!" A voice said trying to wake me up.
"Urgh… five more minutes" I said as I turned to my side.
"You said that awhile ago! Now get up before your breakfast gets cold!" the voice said even louder than before.
"Argh… fine you win Akane" I said dragging my sorry hide out of bed.
Akane then opened up my curtains as the sunlight shone back in, and I gotta say that really woke me up.
"That's better! Now hurry up or we'll be late!" She said as she went out of my room with a smile.
I dragged myself out of bed, and took a shower… then I put my uniform on and went downstairs to the kitchen where Akane was putting food into plates.
"Wow this looks good…" I said
"Yep! It sure is! We need energy everyday and breakfast is the most important meal of the day!" Akane said smiling while putting slices of meat into my plate.
"Isn't sleep also important?" I grumbled.
"Geez Yuki, you cant be like this everyday you know! You need to be more responsible! Like waking yourself up for a change!" Akane said while flicking the spatula at me… which was still covered in bits of meat and oil.
"Yeah says the girl flicking bits of meat and oil into my face this early in the morning" I said wiping the oil off.
"Ah! Im sorry!"
"Hahaha and you talk about responsibility when you flick meat and oil in someone's face?" I said jokingly
"Geez! That was low!" Akane said pouting.
We ate our breakfast and washed the dishes. Then I locked the door to my house as we made our way to school.
Little did I know that from this day onward, my life would never be the same again…
My name is Yukito Tenkawa and this our story...
Nakayama Gakuen… yep that's our school… plus we made it to school right on time; we then headed for our classroom, which was on the 2nd floor.
"Class 2-B" the sign read.
We went in and put our stuff on our desks, then a familiar voice talked to us.
"Hey heard the news you two?"
"What news Masato?" Akane asked him.
"Well… it seems like we have a special student guest arriving later this afternoon!" Masato said giddily.
"Special student guest huh? Don't' tell me it's a girl?" I said with a doubtful look
"H-hey! What with that look Tenkawa?! Im just telling you guys what I heard from the teachers!" Masato said defending himself
"I sure hope its not another one of your perverted gossips Masato" Akane said shaking her head.
"H-hey! Even you Akane?! Come on Tenkawa! Say something!"
I looked at Masato then looked out the window.
"H-hey! Don't ignore me man! Come on!" Masato said shaking me.
"That's Masato for you… a real paparazzi" another familiar voice said
"Rumi!" Akane exclaimed.
"Yo rep! I know you heard the teachers talking about it too! So would you please tell that to Yukito here?!" Masato said still shaking me.
"Its true Tenkawa, there is a special student guest arriving today" Rumi said
"I see…" I said looking at Rumi
"H-hey! You talk to her but not me?!" Masato said shaking me again
"Yep"
"No fair!" Masato said getting on all fours in despair.
Akane and Rumi just sighed.
Oh yeah, these two are my friends as well as Akane's… the loudmouthed one is Masato Kikuchi, we go way back to our grade school days as good friends, true enough he's perverted… but under that he's still a good guy. Masato here… he's got short brown hair and he wears his uniform open plus he loves metal necklaces like dog tags and what not. While its true I did treat him coldy there, Masato never takes things too hard… he's a just one really happy guy, and that's why we're friends with him.
The girl is Rumi Ayanaga, another childhood friend. I gotta admit though Akane myself and Rumi used to fight all the time way back… but now that fighting's got us closer to each other… and now we're friends. Oh yeah… Rumi's the class representative of 2B…which means that we have to listen to her… or we're dead.
But if we listen… our lives will still be intact… somewhat… as for her appearance she wears twintails with her dark-brown hair and ties them with black ribbons, and she wears her uniform right… after all she needs to set an example for the class… though I wish she'd be less scary about it…
And Akane, her last name by the way is: "Somarusaka". She's a spunky long red-haired girl who is also my childhood friend… she's just a regular student though with her grades faring quite good, despite that some guys and girls really took a liking to her… its probably because of her personality, Akane's a really friendly and approachable girl, not to mention she's got quite a good figure. Too bad though, she really isn't my type. Oh and you're probably wondering why she woke me up awhile ago and cooked me breakfast? Its just a habit of her's ever since we were little… she'd take care of me even if I didn't need it… why the heck did that habit still stay with her? I really don't wanna know… wow… that sounded like something from a harem show or something…
"So uh… why are the suddenly having special student guests now?" Akane asked.
"Im not really sure.?" Rumi said
"Wow for once you don't know rep?" Masato said getting up confidently again.
"Why? What else DO you know?" Rumi said a little agitated.
"What do I know? Its what you said awhile ago is what I know!" Masato said
"What? That the special student guest is a girl?" Rumi said
"Yep! The special student guest is a girl all right! And I hear she's hot!" Masato said happily
"Ugh, this again Masato?" Rumi said facepalming.
"Im serious! I heard the teachers talking about how pretty she was too!" Masato said trying to convince Rumi to believe her
"Then again… when it comes to girls you're second to none Masato" Rumi said
"Hehe!" Masato said proudly.
"Perv" Rumi said
"Wh-whaaaa?! Where'd that come from?!" Masato said
Just then our teacher entered signaling the start of classes.
Classes ended and it was lunchtime too… good timing too… those lectures really take a lot outta ya.
Just then the speakerphone's turned on as we heard our principal talking: "Attention all students must eat their lunch and proceed to the gymnasium to welcome our special student guest, that is all."
With that the speakerphone turned off.
We ate and headed to the gymnasium to get some good seats… surprisingly we could sit anywhere since it was just a general assembly and we didn't have to be with our class.
Soon enough the Gym was full of students, once it was full the teachers around us hushed us all as our principal came up to the podium and talked:
"Students of Nakayama Gakuen, as you all know Nakayama Gakuen has been a great source of education here in Japan, and over the years we have caught the eyes of several schools that are intrigued and want to test our education system… this is where the "special student guest program" comes in… some schools will be sending in their best students to study here in Nakayama Gakuen as exchange students. Why their best students you may ask? It is because they wish to make their best even better using our education system! Now without further ado our special student guest will introduce herself now."
The Principal had stepped down, and on the stage was this beautiful girl with long black hair, wearing a blue blazer and a green skirt and black tights stepped up to the podium to speak…
"Thank you Mr. Principal. Good Afternoon students of Nakayama Gakuen, my name is Kuroyukihime and I am a student of Umesato Junior High School and I will be studying here with all of you as a special student guest. I look forward to studying with you all." She said.
The crowd went wild especially the guys.
"WHO-HOO! WHAT A HOTTIE!" a male student said
"SIT NEXT TO ME IN CLASS BABE!" another male student said
"Men…. Hey Tenkawa… why aren't you going wild too?" Rumi asked
"Why?" I asked
"Well for one that Kuroyukihime is drop dead gorgeous! I'd be expecting you to be whistling real loud… or wooting like the rest of these guys!" Rumi said
"Yeah she is, but I don't see why I have to overreact to that" I said
"Wow Tenkawa…I never knew chivalry still existed until now…" Rumi said
"I'm just saying the truth rep… plus she's our guest right? So we should treat her like one" I said
"N-now that you mention it… she really is a guest in this school…" Rumi said
We were given handouts about Kuroyukihime's profile in her school… we were all shocked… her grades were amazing and she was a model student too…
Kuroyukihime talked about her school and our school… and boy did she have a way of talking… the whole Gym was paying attention to her and not a single sound nor murmur was made while she talked.
After she was done talking our Principal explained that she will be joining us starting tomorrow… and that made all us guys go absolutely wild.
We exited the gymnasium but Masato stayed behind to meet and greet Kuroyukihime.
"So what do we do from here?" Akane asked.
"Why don't we grab a bite to eat?" I said
"Sorry guys I'll pass since I still have some paperwork to finish" Rumi said
"Okay, then we'll go on ahead" I said
We parted ways with Rumi as Akane and I ate in a local Ramen bar.
We finished eating as I walked Akane home.
I got home but Mom and Dad weren't home yet…
"Working late again?" I thought as I took a bath and changed into my sleeping clothes. I locked up downstairs before I fell soundly asleep on my bed.
That night though… I had a strange dream…
I saw this hill that had 9 Crosses on them… at first I saw nothing… but then the sky turned dark… then lightning flashed as I saw these silhouettes that were on the crosses!
Lightning flashed again and it illuminated to be a girl on one of the crosses… but this wasn't just any girl…
It was Kuroyukihime… she was on that cross… but she wasn't the only one… there were other girls on the crosses as well
I tried to get near it… but it was getting farther and father away… until I could see nothing…
Then I woke up… it was morning already…
I got up and splashed my face with water… then looking at my reflection I asked myself…
"What was that dream?"
I decided to take bath and get ready for today… I then dried myself up and changed into my school uniform, I went downstairs and saw a note from Mom and Dad saying that they'll be late again tonight.
I prepared breakfast… then I heard a doorbell… I went to check, as I looked outside and it was Akane.
I opened the door and let her in.
"Yuki? Why are you up so early?" Akane asked in a worried tone.
"I just felt like it" I replied
"Felt like it?"
"Yeah… what's wrong with that?" I replied
"Ohh… I get it now! You're trying to prove that you're responsible so that I don't need to go here anymore!"
"What?"
"Not on my watch mister! I'm gonna keep waking you up until we graduate!" Akane said
I sighed as I got another plate for Akane and served her food.
We ate, and then I locked the house up as we went to school.
On our way there though I still couldn't shake off that dream… was it trying to tell me something?
We made it to school and went straight to our classroom… there we saw Masato with his face planted on his desk.
"Hey whats wrong with Masato?" I asked Rumi
"He's been like that since he couldn't talk to Kuroyukihime yesterday at that meet and greet".
"Cheer up Masato… she's transferred here remember? You'll get to see her and talk to her everyday." Akane said trying to cheer poor Masato up.
"Ugh… first impressions matter Akane… and I couldn't make one…" Masato said in an utterly defeated tone.
Suddenly we heard some commotion…
"Whats going on?" Rumi asked
"Oh its Kuroyukihime, she just arrived at the school gates" a female student said.
"WHAT?!" Masato said as he jumped to his feet and ran down to try to greet her.
"Men…" Rumi said facepalming
"What about you Yuki? Don't you want to talk to her too?" Akane asked me
"I'm good. Besides Akane's right in that there are more chances of meeting her around school" I said
"Yeah… good thing too Tenkawa… look at the poor girl, it's her first day and already all the boys are surrounding her… "
I looked outside the window, and true enough all the guys were surrounding her… but she didn't look flustered nor troubled… in fact it looked like she was used to it. At least that didn't last too long; the teachers came out and broke it up.
And in came Masato… looking even more defeated than ever.
"Any luck man?" I asked
"No… they were too many" Masato as he faceplanted into his desk again.
Our teacher then came in and said:
"Settle down now Class, it looks like we have a new student joining us… please come in"
The student entered and true enough it was her alright… Kuroyukihime was our classmate!
"Good Morning everyone, im Kuroyukihime. Please take care of me" She said with a very polite bow and warm smile.
All us guys went wild especially Masato whose eyes lit up in sheer joy.
"Boys! Settle down! Where to sit… ah there, beside Kikuchi" our teacher said
Kuroyukihime then sat beside Masato as she gave him a warm smile.
Class started as our teacher began his lecture…. Lunchtime came and most of the guys in school came to our classroom trying to have lunch with Kuroyukihime… our classroom turned into a chaos zone was all these guys were trying to sit near Kuroyukihime or were trying to get her attention. It's a good thing Rumi's our class rep… she easily broke it up, all the guys went back terrified and stuttering.
"Hard being popular eh?" Rumi said
"Hahaha, I'm used to it" Kuroyukihime said with a smile.
Masato then approached Kuroyukihime.
"H-hi…! I'm M-m-m-masato K-k-ki-ki-ki-kuchi!" Masato said stuttering.
"Hello, Its very nice to meet you Masato" Kuroyukihime said with a warm smile.
"U-u-umm…. C-c-can I Sh-s-sh-shake y-your h-hand?!" Masato said stuttering even more
"Why not?" Kuroyukihime said extending her hand towards Masato
Masato shook her hand… but he held on for quite a bit before letting go… once he did let go he shouted a big: "YES!" as he jumped around the classroom in sheer happiness.
"Say do you want to eat lunch with us?" Rumi asked.
"May I?" Kuroyukihime said.
"By all means!" Rumi said
We then went to the rooftop and decided to eat there, good thing Rumi had access there or we'd be surrounded by fans right now.
We sat down and took out our lunchboxes.
"I suppose we should introduce each other…" Rumi said
"Y-yeah! Hi! I'm Akane Somarusaka!"
"Rumi Ayanaga! Class rep! At your service!"
"You know me!" Masato said
"Masato Kikuchi!" Kuroyukihime said.
"That's right!" Masato said with a V.
"Yukito Tenkawa. Nice to meet you"
"Likewise!" Kuroyukihime said
"So how's your first day?" Akane asked
"Great! The education system of this school is just as good as our principal told us!" Kuroyukihime said with a smile.
"Education? What about the boys surrounding you on your very first day?!" Rumi said.
"Ahahaha! That's nothing! I'm used to that already!" Kuroyukihime said with a smile.
"A-amazing" Rumi said
"Yeah! That's our Kuroyukihime! Unfazed by fans!" Masato said
"Down boy, you're drooling" Rumi said
"Am not!" Masato objected.
"Yuki? You've been silent… don't you want to talk to Kuroyukihime?" Akane asked while looking at me with a concerned look.
"Ah… sorry. I was just lost in thought" I said
"Trying to be silent in front of such a beauty is so not cool dude!" Masato said
"Yes… your silence intrigues me... " Kuroyukihime said
"Sorry… I guess I'm just not in the talking mood" I lied as I thought back at that dream.
"Hehe he's just speechless over your beauty!' Masato said
I stayed silent… I really couldn't say anything.
The bell rang as we went back to class.
Afterschool came, and guys were still flocking to Kuroyukihime, unfortunately for them the principal called Kuroyukihime over to his office.
"It really must be hard being popular huh?" Rumi said
"Even the principal is calling her now…it must be because she's new here" Akane said.
"Hey why don't you guys go on ahead? I'll uh… wait up for her" Masato said
"No way, I'm not letting her go home with a perv like you" Rumi said pinching Masato's ear
"O-ow! Let go! That hurts!" Masato said
"Come on guys lets go!" Akane said.
We went ate in a nearby café, after eating Rumi and Masato went their separate ways while I had to walk Akane home.
I got home feeling pretty tired… as I changed into house clothes I threw myself into bed and kept thinking about that dream… was something going to happen to Kuroyukihime? I let that pass though as my eyes felt heavy and as I drifted off to sleep.
A few days have passed and I never had that sane dream again, and Kuroyukihime was still fine… maybe nothing was going to happen?
So I thought…
Night came as Akane and myself were helping out our teacher organize some papers… and a lot of them really…
"Thank you very much for the help you two"
"No problem sir" I said
"Yep! Always happy to help!" Akane said as our teacher brought the papers with him.
"Don't forget to lock up and turn off the lights you two."
"Yes sir!" Akane said.
We did as we were told, and headed downstairs, then we saw what looked like Kuroyukihime… but she went through the wall!
"Wh-whats going on?!" I said baffled
"Yuki! I think we should go after her!" Akane said
I nodded in agreement as we too approached the wall that Kuroyukihime entered.
We faced the wall and ran towards it…
…and we didn't slam into into it, rather we went through it too!
"I don't believe it… we actually went through the wall!" Akane said in disbelief
"Y-yeah..!" I said to still trying to pull myself together
We both looked around… we definetly were not in school anymore… this place looked distorted, and everything was out of place…
"Y-yuki! L-look!" Akane said pointing at some silhouettes moving towards us.
The silhouettes came out of the shadows… they stood on two legs like humans… but they had no faces and they were all black… and they were slowly walking towards us… while they were snarling
"Wh-what the hell?!" I said
"Yuki!" Akane said hiding behind me.
"Look out!" a familiar voice said.
Then out of nowhere these shots came out of nowhere and hit the shadows. As it hit the shadows they instantly vanished, then someone stood in front of us.
"Are you two alright?" She said
We looked at who was infront of us… and it turned out to be Kuroyukihime!
"Wh-what's going on?!" Akane said.
"I'll explain later! First lets get rid of these guys eh?" Kuroyukihime said as she drew an umbrella and took aim, she then fired shots that defeated all the shadows… and all her shots were dead on target.
But it wasn't over yet, more shadows came and this time these shadows had mouths… with razor-sharp teeth in them.
"So they had more huh? Stay close to me you two!" Kuroyukihime said as she took aim again, this time instead of normal shots, she was firing her umbrella… like a Gatling Gun defeating every snarling shadow that tried to lunge for her.
After what seemed like forever… it was over.
"Whew, that took longer than expected" Kuroyukihime said smiling at us
"Wh-what were those things?!" Akane said
"Im not so sure myself." Kuroyukihime said in a doubtful tone.
Suddenly from out of the shadows these gigantic arms came out and grabbed Kuroyukihime… a giant shadow had grabbed her!
"Kuroyukihime!" I yelled
"R-run you two! Better me who dies than you two… Argh!" Kuroyukihime said as the shadow was laughing while squeezing the life out of her.
"We have to do something…!" Akane said panicked
"But what?! If only I had power…!" I said in despair.
Suddenly I heard this voice speak inside my head…
"You who are pure of heart… I will answer your call for power…" the voice said
"What…?" I thought.
I then felt a surge of power inside me as a katana materialized in my hand, I then cried out: "Black Selena!"
Then a powerful force emerged out of me, it was a Black Armored Machine with glowing red eyes and thick armor as it hovered in the air.
"You called Master?" the entity known as Black Selena said
I said nothing as I lunged for the shadow with incredible speed and cut its arms off.
It cried out and writhed in pain and was flailing its arms around as it let go of Kuroyukihime. I dove down after her and caught her.
"T-tenkawa…?" She said weakly.
"Take it easy. I'll take care of this thing." I said while putting her down gently beside Akane.
I focused my power then with incredible speed I dashed toward the giant shadow as I cried out: "Distortion field! Maximum output!"
As I rammed the shadow, I punched a hole right through it instantly killing it.
"Y-yuki…" Akane said while looking at me.
I then landed gently on the floor, I looked up and saw Black Selena hovering above me.
"Thank you for your help" I told it.
"Do not thank me. Thank your pure heart. As of today my power is yours Master." Black Selena said
"Pure heart…? Master?" I asked it
"Yes. Only those of pure heart can summon us into battle." Black Selena said as it disappeared.
"W-wait!" I said, but it was too late. "What was that?" I thought as I looked at the Katana in my hand.
I ran back to Kuroyukihime and Akane.
"Yuki!" Akane said
"Tenkawa…you… saved me." Kuroyukihime said.
"You saved us first though, Just paying back the favor" I said.
"Hahaha… even here you show so much of a positive attitude…" Kuroyukihime said weakly
"Are you okay?" Akane asked
"Hopefully… that thing squeezed me real tightly." Kuroyukihime said while coughing.
"Can you walk?" I asked
"I don't think so…" Kuroyukihime said
"Can you carry her Yuki?" Akane asked
"Yeah, I think I can" I said while lifting her up… she was actually lighter than I thought.
"Sorry for this Tenkawa" Kuroyukihime said blushing
"Its fine. Now how do we get out of here?"
"There. That portal will get us out of here" Kuroyukihime said pointing us to a portal.
We made it out and Kuroyukihime's strange costume turned back into her school uniform.
"Whew we made it back!" Akane said cheerfully
"Yeah." I said putting Kuroyukihime down, but at the same time… I collapsed.
"Yuki!" Akane said as I lost consciousness.
