Chapter 1:
Welcome to Yokai Academy
"Transferring, sometimes it's bad and sometimes it's good. Because of my fathers job we're almost always moving, just last year we moved to Earth, a strange world by the likes of which I've never seen one without magic, no wizards, nothing and worst of all I can't use my magic out in public. I did as I was told, suppose it's not all bad though, last month I turned 15, so my parents decided to send me off to some private school called Youkai Academy hoping I could make some friends that wouldn't tease me."
On a lone bus driving along the cliff side, a lone white haired figure sat on the right of the of the bus. As he sat there in the bus, it drove into a dark and foreboding cave while it the same time the boy shivered and felt a chill crawl up his spine.
"I hope this school is worth it, because I got a bad feeling about this place." the boy said look away from the window towards the head of the bus.
"You are that new kid going to Yokai Academy right?"
"Yeah." he said looking back out the window into the blackness.
"In that case, you had best prepare yourself... Hehehe, When we come out of this loooooong tunnel, we'll be in front of the school. Youkai Academy is a veeerrrry scary school!"
"Wanna talk about scary try looking in a mirror without at breaking.." the boy thought with his eyebrow raised.
With another minute of awkward silence the bus came to a stop outside of the tunnel by an old tree filled with crows and a scarecrow. The place had a dark and fearful aura and he didn't like at one bit. But regardless it was not his choice in decor so he shrugged it off, grabbed his staff and spellbook and stepped off of the bus.
"This place reminds me of the Dark and Haunted caves from Ravenwood. Ah such fond memories." He smiled remembering all the scarecrows and zombies he'd defeated in battle.
Looking off into the distance he could see some buildings near the cliff side, with a nod he tucked his spell book under his arm, held his staff firmly in his right hand and begun walking down the road. After he took three steps someone shouted from behind him.
"Coming through!" A girl voice shouted from behind him.
"Huh?" the boy blinked. By the time he turned around, his eyes widened at what he saw barreling towards him. "Ahh!"
WHAM!
"Ow," they groaned. He was flat on his back and feeling the pain from the impact. Last he saw, someone on an oddly shaped two wheeled object had barreled into him, it was called a 'bike' if he remembered correctly. It reminded him of when he had nearly lost his first wizardry duel in the area.
.
"I'm sorry," a soft female voice groaned. He rubbed his head and sat up.
"Don't worry about it," he managed to groan out. "I'm used to it. You okay?" He was glad for those Japanese language lessons now.
"Yes," the girl nodded. "I'm so sorry. I'm a little anemic so I sometimes have fainting spells."
Looking it her, he had to admit that Japanese girls were really cute! She had long pink hair and a very pretty face. She had a leather choker that had a silver cross hanging from it and beads connecting from the chain to the choker. She had a nice figure and was wearing a green uniform with a short skirt, his uniform however was one of the many sets of Wizardry robes he held onto from Ravenwood, a blue robe with a white cloak and blue pants, a white hood that covered his left eye, and finally a set of Icici blue boots.
"It's no problem," He chuckled. "Just be careful next time. Lemme help you up."
Standing up, he took the girl's hand and helped her to her feet. The two were standing close before the girls eyes seemed to glaze over.
"Uh…you okay?" The boy blinked in confusion.
"Yes," the girl sighed. "You…smell so nice."
"Thanks?" He blinked. The girl leaned in closer. "Hey…"
"I'm sorry," the girl sighed softly. "But…I'm…a vampire."
Before he could blink, the girl had wrapped her arms around his shoulders and pressed her face into his neck. She then quickly dug her teeth into his neck and bit down, puncturing his skin and drawing out blood.
CHUUU!
"Ow!" he yelped in pain. He struggled for a moment before the girl backed away, looking mortally embarrassed. "Hey! What did I do to you?"
"I'm sorry!" the girl blushed profusely. "It's just your blood smelled so nice and I couldn't help myself! I really am sorry!"
"You're fine," he said grimaced as he rubbed his neck. Remarkably it was already healing and it wasn't bleeding. "Anyways, what's your name miss? I'm Sam Iceblood." Sam smiled.
"Oh, I'm Moka Akashiya." the girl smiled with a bow.
"It's a pleasure to meet such a beautiful young girl like yourself." Sam smiled as he returned the bow to her.
"Hey do you... hate vampires?" Moka asked shyly.
Sam shook his head and gave her a smile. "I have no reason to hate vampires."
"Oh," Moka blinked. She then smiled. "Well, do you want to be friends?"
"Sure." Sam grinned. "To tell you the truth, one of my old friends is a vampire." Remembering his old friend Robert Darkblood the Adapt ranked Necromancer.
"Really?!" Moka gasped in delight. Her eyes seemed to take in a sparkle of some kind. "That's great! I was so worried that I wouldn't know anyone here!"
"Hey, at least you're in your own country," Sam grinned. "I'm a long way from home so having a friend is something good for me."
"You're foreign?" asked Moka.
"Yeah, I came from a place called wizard city. Lived there most of my life."
Moka had never heard of Wizard city before but could tell Sam was a long way from home. She was just a couple of cities away from her home. He was just as much in need of a friend as she was. He was probably hiding it better than most though.
It had taken him some time, but Sam managed to find his classroom through all the chaos. He and Moka got separated at the welcoming ceremony since she had to park her bike and he needed to get there fast. It was then a rapid assignment and here he was.
"Okay!" the teacher cheered. "Welcome to Yokai Academy!"
Sam had to admit that if he had a teacher like this back home, many of his former classmates would have paid better attention. This teacher had short blonde hair, a spaghetti strap top and a short skirt. She sported a pair of cute glasses on her face and parts of her hair looked like cat ears. To top it off, a cat's tail was sticking out from her skirt.
"I'll be your homeroom teacher this year, Miss Nekonome!" the catty teacher continued to announce. Sam had to admit that the good cheer in the room was infectious. Even he was feeling ready to cheer, and he never cheered for anything.
"As everyone guessed, this is a school for monsters! Now, like it or not, humans run the world and we have to learn to coexist with them," Miss Nekonome explained. "This is the purpose of Yokai Academy, to coexist with the human world!"
Sam was thankful that he'd it least learned several spells before going to Youkai otherwise he'd be dead meat.
"Hey sensei," another kid growled. "Can't we just eat the humans? I could start by molesting the cute girls."
Sam frowned at that comment. It was clear that guys like him gave non-humans a bad name. It was no wonder that people were afraid of monsters. People like the guy who spoke kept thinking their species meant they could do whatever they wanted.
"That's silly!" Miss Nekonome sighed. "You won't be finding any humans here! All of the teachers and students are monsters!"
"She's got a point, and even if you did try that you'd no doubt end up dead." Sam added looking over it him.
The guy growled and looked over it him dropping a long tounge out of his mouth before at slithered back into his mouth. "You know, you smell like a human now that I think about it."
Raising an eyebrow Sam reached over and grabbed his staff from its leaning spot on the wall and tapped it's base on the ground. Suddenly the top of his desk was covered in a layer of ice and on his desk was a large ice beetle, the beetle lowered its body and shot a large snowball hitting the kid in the face.
"That proof enough for you?" Sam asked triumphantly causing several other students to giggle.
"Which brings us to rule number one!" Miss Nekonome spoke loudly as to redirect everyone's attention. "You are not allowed to reveal your true forms to anyone! Not even to your fellow students! We are here to learn how to coexist with humans so please keep your true forms a secret."
"I'm sorry!" a familiar voice spoke up as the door opened. "I got lost after the ceremony, sorry I'm late!"
"That's okay," Miss Nekonome smiled. "Just take a seat anywhere."
Sam looked to see who had come in and his eyes widened. It was Moka, she strolled in the classroom, catching her breath after apparently running to find her classroom. All of the boys in the room, except for Sam it least, seemed to drop into trances as they watched her try to find a desk.
"Who is she?"
"Such flowing hair!"
"Is that really a disguise?!"
Many of the boys in the room begun to cheer and roar. The only one who really just sat there calmly was Sam who was currently smirking. It seemed Moka was going to be more popular than either of them thought. As Moka made her way through the cheering boys, Sam decided to make his presence known.
"Hey Moka." Sam smiled standing from his seat. "Looks as though we've got classes together."
"Sam?" Moka blinked as she turned to him. She broke out in a huge smile when she recognized her hooded friend. "Sam! It is you!"
Leaping forward, Sam found himself grabbed in a hug by his vampire friend. He couldn't help but grin. If this was how Moka greeted her friends at was better than any greeting he'd ever gotten before. Plus it was kind of funny to see how the other boys were reacting.
"Hey! Who is that guy!?"
"How does that creep get a hug!?"
"Sam?" Moka said pulling away from him. "I don't think hoods are allowed in on school grounds."
"Yeah, lose the hood!" one kid growled.
"I bet you're ugly beneath that hood!" another boy hissed.
"Now now, no name calling, but I am sorry, it is a rule Sam." Miss Nekonome added.
Sam immediately placed his hands on his hood. Moka stared it him curiously, his face was turning red. "You mean I can't keep my hood?" Sam whined as his hands clamped onto the blue hood.
"Nope."
Looking around the room Sam could see everyone's eyes were on him as they kept telling him to remove his hood, making him blush even brighter. Reluctantly he remove his hood. Pulling his hood off everyone fell silent as they all watched his white hair fall from his hood to his lower back. Suddenly everyone, including Moka, blushed a bright red. Then much like with Moka's entrance the boys roared with affection.
"I had no idea there were two hot girls in this class!"
"I take back everything I said about you being ugly!"
"Look it her hair, and those big blue eyes!"
Sam's face was now as bright as a tomato, sitting back in his seat and placed his hands on top of his head. This was going to be a pleasant year.
"I wish I'd read the damned rule book about the dress code." Sam thought as he walked down the hall, Moka by his side.
"This hallway is so cool! It's so clean and neat!" Moka commented as they both walked down the hallway.
"Yeah, it's nothing like my old school." Sam smiled
Class had ended not too long ago so they decided to explore the school. While they were walking around Moka thought she could help Sam learn how the japanese schools work, seeing as he was a foreigner. As they walked Sam could also hear the whispers of other students. They were either gawking over how cute they both were, or fantasizing about having either of them as a girlfriend. A couple of the girls were really pissed off that a foreigner was deciding to spend her time Moka, holding hands.
After a short while they both stopped at a vending machine for some drinks. Sam got himself what he could guess was Tea while Moka got herself a can of tomato juice. She told him that, aside from blood, that she loved tomato juice.
"What do you think of Yokai Academy so far Sam?
"In all honesty, it's different." Sam sighed. "For one I never had a locker for shoes."
"Do you not like it?"
"No I think this place is remarkable. I never imagined such a place could exist." Sam smiled taking a sip from his tea.
"Hey there, cutie pies. Name's Saizou Komiya, your names are Moka Akashiya and Sam Iceblood right?"
"Oh... y-yes, it's nice to meet you." Moka bowed.
"You too, but I want to talk to you Samantha." Saizou smiled.
"What do you want with me?" Sam growled. "And my name is Sam, not Samantha!
"Whatever doll, I just want an apology, we got off on the wrong foot and I'm sure we can make a great couple."
"I'm a guy, and you won't be getting any apology from me. Now if you'll excuse us, we're in a hurry." Sam reached for Moka's hand, pulled her towards him and the two vanished in a flash of white light and snowflakes.
On the roof there was a flash of white light and Moka and Sam appeared their clothes lightly covered in snowflakes. Moka bent over the nearby railing, breathing heavily, she had just experienced her first teleportation and now felt as though she were about to vomit. Seeing as she was completely new to teleporting, there were bound to be some... side effects. After a few deep breaths she stood up and brushed the small snowflakes off her clothes.
"Are you alright?" Sam asked lightly patting her on the back.
"Yeah, it's just that was..." she spaced off trying to find the right word.
"Different?"
"Yeah, different." Moka nodded in agreement. "By the way, weren't you... scared back there?"
"Nah, he's just a bully, bullies pick on the weak and I for one HATE bullies." Suddenly Sam's mind was filled with memories of his older siblings John and Andrew.
"Well thank you for getting us out of there, I hope you can do it again sometime." Moka smiled brightly.
"I can do it in a snap." Sam smirked snapping his fingers creating a small white spark.
Moka didn't think she could smile any brighter if she tried. Sam was really turning out to be a wonderful friend, "Still, I wouldn't want my only friend to get in trouble."
"What do you mean your only friend?" asked Sam in confusion. "I would have figured a nice girl like you would have made a whole mob of friends by now."
Moka giggled and stepped forward to stand in front of him. She had a shy blush on her cheeks and she averted her gaze. Sam couldn't help but think she was even cuter when she did it.
"Well…I'm not too good at making friends," Moka admitted. "And besides…"
"Besides?" Sam asked curiously.
"We're on blood sucking term!" Moka smiled with a flush on her face. "You should be proud of yourself, you have grade A Blood Sam, its way better than any of the blood I drank from the transfusion packs! It's full bodied, and the sweetness and mineral balance are all perfect!"
Sam snickered as he rubbed his neck. "I guess there is a first time for everything, because now I feel like a Juice Box."
Moka giggled once more. Joining her in a laugh, they both headed for the stairwell. They both had to deal with guys who kept asking if either of them could be his girlfriend, and after an explanation the guys were both heartbroken and shocked.
"So why don't you just cut your hair?" Moka asked.
"I'd rather not say." Sam replied.
"Please? I promise I won't tell." Moka pleaded clapping her hands together.
Looking at her, Sam could that she was being honest simply by the look in her eyes. Taking a deep breath.
"Promise you won't laugh."
"I promise, I won't laugh."
"...When I was 10, my mother had my older brothers John and Andrew take me to a Barber Shop. When the barber was nearly finished with my normal haircut they both bribed him into shaving 'Kick me' on the back of my head. After my mother saw what had happened, she grounded them and I had to wear a hood until my hair grew back, I never went to another Barber and my hair just kept growing ever since."
Looking at Moka, her face was a bright red and she was having trouble holding in a laugh. Like clockwork, she begun laughing loudly. Sam gave her a disappointed look.
"I'm sorry, but that's... that's very funny!" smiled Moka wiping a tear from her eye. After taking a second to calm down Moka continued with the conversation. "Sam, what was your old school like?"
"Well, like I said it's a world that trains witches and wizards to learn magic from the seven schools of magic."
"You said you also had a friend who was a Vampire like me right? What's a vampire doing in a school like that?" she wondered.
"You mean Robert Darkblood? He's training to be a necromancer."
"But how can a Vampire be training to be a wizard? I've never heard of such a thing!"
"The spiral is full of surprises Moka, in Wizard city I've fought trolls, cyclops, zombies, even living scarecrows all of which used magic."
"Were there any humans there by chance?" Moka ask curiously.
"Yeah, we were everywhere." Sam replied.
"W-we?" she gaped taking a step back.
"Yes Moka, I'm a human."
"But that's impossible! A human can't be a wizard because witches are considered 'Border Beings!' Creatures that aren't human or monsters!"
"Really? Huh, I never knew that." Sam blinked placing his hand to his chin. "Listen Moka, I'm not going to agree or disagree with what you're saying so if I'm considered a 'Border Being' then so be it."
"What? Why would you accept that so easily?" Moka blinked.
"Because if there's anything I've learned, it's that sometimes it's easier to just go along with it, rather than against it."
After a moment of awkward silence Moka suggested they get a couple of drinks and try to get a better understand on this 'situation.'
Sam left to grab their drinks, one Tea and one can of Tomato juice. Moka sat happily kicking her feet back and forth as she sat on a tombstone waiting for her friend to return. She heard foot step and turned only to be greeted by Saizou.
"Hey babe." He grinned in a sick, perverted way. "I've been looking for ya."
Saizou lunged forward, grabbing Moka by the arm. Moka shrieked and struggled against him to no avail, Saizou was much stronger than he appeared, even in his human form. As Moka struggled, Saizou pulled her into the woods before throwing her against a cross shaped tombstone with the words "Rest In Peace" chiseled into it.
"Sorry about that," Saizou chuckled as he shed his jacket. His body begun to swell up and his teeth sharpened. "I can't help myself when I feels like this, my body starts to ache. When I come to this point, there is no stopping me... I just can't stay in my human form!"
Moka trembled in fear as Saizou's body grew ridges and his muscles bulged. She easily recognized what he was. Saizou was really an orc. They were mean creatures who didn't bow down to anyone.
"Hey, we're all monsters here," Saizou snickered as he reached out to Moka with his large hand. "Now gimmie a kiss."
"Noooooooooooo!" Moka cried in fear.
"Hey! Ugly!" Sam snapped. Saizou looked up from Moka only to get hit in the face by an ice cold can of tea which exploded like a grenade covering Saizou in a frozen slush. "Get your hands off Moka!"
"Hmph!" Saizou snorted shaking off the slush. "And what's a witch like you gonna do about it? You border beings are nothing but trash!"
"Yeah right," Sam frowned. "Last warning. Let Moka go."
"Make me!" Saizou snorted.
"No, Sam!" Moka cried, struggling against the large grip of Saizou. "Please run!"
"I can handle him Moka, get out of here now!"
Saizou roared, charging with his fist raised above his head he threw them down attempting to smash Sam into the ground. With a smirk Sam quickly raised his hand and cast a protection spell on himself creating a magical shield around himself stopping Saizou's attack.
"What the?!" Saizou gaped as he pushed with all his might down on the shield.
"My turn." Sam smirked, pointing his staff it Saizou a large fireball flew from his staff, hit him in chest and then exploded sending him back some distance.
"That stung a little, but this is far from over!" Saizou roared wiping the soot from his chest.
"Agreed." Sam nodded watching his shield spell shatter.
Saizou grinned and quickly rushed forward throwing his fist at Sam in hopes of catching him off guard. Much to his dismay, Sam vanished in a white flash causing him to miss and accidentally trip over a tombstone falling face first into the dirt.
"You need to learn how to fight properly." Sam chuckled from the tree above.
"Get down here you runt!" Saizou roared shattering the tree trunk with one punch.
Leaping from the tree Sam rolled on the ground, jumping back on his feet he held his staff and begun chanting a spell incantation.
"This ends now!" Saizou screamed running full speed ready to strike.
"You lose." Sam said calmly, tapping his staff on the ground a huge cube of Ice rose from the ground, frozen in the ice was a colossal sized creature. Breaking free from its icy prison the Colossus set its sights on Saizou stopping him in his tracks.
"What the hell?" Saizou muttered looking up at the Colossus.
The Colossus roared and picked him up with both its icy hands slamming him into the ground. The Colossus gave a victory roar before melting into a large body of water that was soon soaked up into the ground.
"Incredible..." Moka gaped from nearby.
"Moka, are you alright? He didn't hurt you did he?" Sam asked.
"No, I'm fine. How... how did you do that?" she wondered her eyes still slightly wide.
"With the Colossus? It's an Adept ranked spell if I remember right, maybe Journeyman." Sam shrugged. Reaching to his belt he grabbed what looked to be a deck of cards from a pouch. Searching through the cards he pulled one out showing it to Moka. The card had an image matching the Colossus that had just melted.
"Wow..." she said flipping the card over." You must be really smart to remember how to summon a big creature like this."
"Indeed, but it's one of the spells I have, and it's far from being the strongest."
"May I see some more?" Moka asked curiously.
"Sure, let's head back you can see them on the way." Sam smiled handing her the deck of spells. "Those insect looking ones are Frost Beetles. Next are the Snow Serpents and then Evil Snowmen."
Moka walked beside Sam listening as he explained each spell and how the spell worked. She was happy Sam had gotten their when he did, and now was looking forward to the possibilities that awaited them.
