This is a separate story from the phantom saga. I was reading lots of these crossovers and one of them with this pairing caught my attention, but it hadn't been updated in a long time. So to announce my part time return I am beginning this story. I've also taken some artistic license with minor things and created an improbable situation using an altered character trait for the headmaster. Kokoa is also got a kind side because I think she needs one, not all vampires can be constantly rude.
Chapter 1
Acclamation and budding romance
Two weeks ago Danny had stabilized Danielle, and for two days he was without a single ghost to fight. After those two days he had a sudden onslaught of ghosts he never anticipated. So as an effort to help keep the town safe Danny asked Vlad, who was surprisingly fighting by his side seeing as these were not his associates, to call some form of reinforcements that were not the guys in white. Vlad called someone in Japan. And from what Danny could tell by the Japanese he knew (his mom taught him and jazz around seven languages since they started school) he was called the exorcist. When he arrived a week later he got to work and the first thing he did was talk to Danny and let it be known immediately that he was able to sense Danny's hybrid status and that he would like to speak with him after the threat was admonished. Danny, though surprised, agreed because the ghosts had taken Fenton works and he had little choice.
Within a week the town was ghost free. Danny was amazed as his parents had begun pestering the mysterious man on how he made them retreat so fast. He just smiled and told them that he needed to speak to Danny alone. They didn't ask why, they just agreed. As the two of them walked away, the exorcist said something unexpected. "Well young Daniel, I see you have found yourself in an unexpected situation this previous year. Joining the ranks of the rarest and among the most legendary of the 'S' ranked Yokai halfway, is something absolutely no one in this or many other dimensions can honestly say they even considered." Danny simply stared at him in confusion. "That's why I offer you this. I am headmaster of a very exceptional school in Japan. Well its entrance is in Japan. The school itself is in a separate dimension, but I digress. This school is for … unique people like yourself. There you could fit in much better. It is a place where transformations like your own are quite common. A school for monsters. Somewhere you can have a less stressful education. Well maybe less mentally stressful. We can help you develop your powers and maybe help you develop a romance life." He finished with a smile. "Wait that's a little personal don't you think." Said Danny. He knew that Sam didn't think of him that way much to his disappointment and for some reason he felt this exorcist knew more about him than even he did. Maybe it was the fact he couldn't see his eyes. "Perhaps you are right. But the fact remains that I'm offering you a chance to have a higher education with a great chance to get in to a good college. All that and a place where your powers are normal." Danny was very pensive and said, "Well who will protect the town if I leave?" the exorcist smiled and said. "I've placed a twelve year seal on the portal in your parents' lab, and a fifty year one on Vlad's. Ghosts cannot use those paths or even go near them until the seals burn out, which unfortunately includes half ghosts." Said the exorcist. "Wow you really pulled out all the stops. Put what about my parents and school? They don't know." He countered, only to be handed a letter which read:
To whom it may concern
We are proud to announce that young Daniel Fenton has been accepted to Yokai Academy in Japan. This is by acceptance by the headmaster of the school due to the observed mastery of one of the required fields necessary for acceptance. Yokai Academy can help Mr. Fenton become a high functioning member of society and will help with his appliance to any college in the world. He may leave to the academy on the fifteenth after this letter has been signed by parents or guardians as well as preceding instructors and given to the headmaster before he leaves.
Danny stared in shock. "Damn you're fast. Did you have this made after we first spoke?" "Before I left the academy actually. I knew of you from the beginning, I am in tune to the entire planet and I felt your aura change immediately. So, what's your answer?" blue eyes met shiny glasses as Danny said. "Yes."
Now eight days later here he was, Waiting at the bus stop for the bus that would take him to the academy. He told his parents it would take him to the airport but then exorcist had told him it would take him to school via a wonderful shortcut through the ghost zone just for him. He was finally able to feel his back again after the goodbye hug his dad gave him, and some of his classmates had surprised him by coming to send him off. Paullina came to say how she was happy that he was actually going somewhere, before the others came. Apparently she was level headed and her normal behavior was an act to make herself more popular. Valerie came to give him an honest goodbye with Sam and tucker. Dash came and actually cried because he was losing his favorite punching bag. With many a rolled eye the bus finally arrived. "Bye guys, don't worry I'll be back for summer break." And with that he got on the bus.
"Well, you must be the transfer I came to pick up." Said the creepiest bus driver ever. "No duh. Why else would I get on the bus if I wasn't?" replied Danny. "Heh heh heh. I suppose you're right. And it's obvious you're a natural at Japanese. You even have a Tokyo accent." He replied. "Yeah, learned Japanese in second through fourth grade from my mom." Said Danny with a bit of pride. "Right, time to use our shortcut." He pulled a lever and the outside switched from amity's outskirts to the ghost zone. Danny wanted to know how he did that but in the end decided to wait till another time. When they returned to the land of the living they were in Japan.
Danny was reading a manga he picked up at the gas station when they had stopped about five minutes ago when the bus stopped and someone got on. It seemed that the other person was distracted and didn't notice him so he coughed to get his attention. The other boy jumped slightly. "Oh sorry about that, I wasn't paying attention. You're a freshman right?" he stammered as he turned to Danny. Danny nodded. the student smiled "Right my name is Tskune Aono. What's yours?" "Danny Fenton, transfer student from America." Replied Danny as he shook Tskune's hand. "Wow, really? You speak perfect Japanese, even accented." Replied a surprised Tskune. Danny nodded and returned to his manga then looked up again and asked "hey do you know where Ririko sensei's homeroom is?" at that Tskune paled considerably. "No but as a word of advice, never flunk her class…" Danny noticed his fear and nodded.
When they got to the school Tskune vanished as Danny took in the atmosphere. "Still more inviting than Vlad's castle was during his time with the syndicate." As he set on the long walk to the school he was aware of an odd feeling of déjà-vu and as he was about to say something out loud to break it he heard a feminine voice shout. "Out of the way!" and before he could act on instinct he was crashed into by a red blur on a bike. When the commotion stopped he went to pull himself up from the spill and he felt his hand on another, smoother one. When he looked he saw a girl about his age with fiery hair. He quickly apologized for the hand thing and helped her up. "Sorry about that I really should have moved quicker. I guess my nap on the bus slowed down my reaction time, are you alright?" he said as he picked up her bike. "Yeah, I'm fine but from the looks of that cut on your cheek you aren't." she said and suddenly seemed distracted as she sniffed the air. "Ooh that smell. Your blood smells delicious." She said as she got closer to him. "Wait blood? Does that mean that you're a-"he didn't finish as she licked his cheek and moaned like she just ate a particularly tasty meal. "Vampire." She finished for him as she bit down on his neck. They stayed there for a while, Danny surprised that A. she was a vampire, B. she was super cute, C. she was sucking his blood and he didn't feel any fatigue (probably because his ghost regeneration was replacing blood faster than she could suck), and D. it didn't hurt. After a good time she came up for air and said "ooooh, that was amazing, and kind of tangy, like citrus." Then it seemed she realized what had just happened. She turned beet red and looked at his face expecting a dry husk. But his astounded face was the only thing she found.
After what seemed like forever Danny said "so my blood is citrusy?" she just nodded and after shaking herself back to sense she said "how are you still alive?" he shrugged and asked "why, were you trying to kill me?" she shook her head and said "no but I really wasn't paying attention to what I was doing and well…" "Don't worry about it. My name's Danny Fenton, American transfer student." "Uh right. Kokoa Shuzen, vampire, obviously." She said still blushing. "Right. So Kokoa would you like to accompany me to the school?" asked Danny as he smiled a kind smile. "I suppose so." Said Kokoa as she recomposed herself. "Here, allow me to carry the bike." He said as he lifted the bike over his shoulder. "I'll fix it for you later." "Thanks." Replied Kokoa. They then continued their walk to the school. It was quiet until Kokoa said "you know, you were my first." Danny turned beet red and said "for the love of god, I understand what you meant but did you have to say that so vaguely. What if someone heard that and got the wrong impression?" at that Kokoa looked around frantically in a panic realizing just how bad that sounded. "Wait don't worry, that was just hypothetical. No one is here." "You better be right. If not, I will drain you dry." "Gotchya." Said Danny as he was suddenly worried.
By the time they reached the school they were herded into the gym by a cat woman. Just before the ceremony Kokoa left to do something. Danny followed. After saving Tskune from a… thing Kokoa tasted his blood and he made a run for it before Danny could do anything. "Smooth Kokoa, now Tskune is probably scared of you." Said Danny as they went to the ceremony. "No skin off my bones." She said. Danny just shrugged it off. After the ceremony Danny went to his homeroom. His teacher really was something to behold. Tucker would have a heart attack. As she introduced him to the class he got funny looks from the others. Then Kokoa showed up. After being reprimanded for being late she sat next to Danny. She looked at him and made a semi-surprised face, Danny returned the favor. It seems she didn't expect to share home room with him. but then again, always better to have a familiar face. Even if they just met.
After the day had ended Kokoa told Danny to follow her to the newspaper club room. Danny though only knowing her for the better part of a day knew not to argue unless absolutely necessary. When he opened the door however he did not expect to be crushed between two enormous breasts and hugged to death by a girl screaming "oh Tskune I've been waiting for you!" this action pissed off Kokoa and caused her to yell "kou chan!" wherein her pet bat came and turned into a giant baseball bat and she slammed the girl's head causing her to fly across the room. Suddenly able to breathe Danny gasped in lungful of air as he fell to the floor yelling between gasps, "What the actual fuck just happened!" Kokoa replied with a murderous expression pointed to the room's occupants "I'm not sure but there had better be a good explanation for it…"
After a large amount of placating and apologies, followed by some introductions, everyone was feeling friendlier the door opened and everyone turned towards it "oh, hey Tskune, we have visitors." Said Kurumu. "After a bit of surprise from Tskune at seeing Danny and Kokoa, Kokoa turned to the pink haired girl next to Tskune and began attacking her. Basically everyone was staring in confusion before Danny and Tskune both shouted their respective vampires' names and gave chase. After Kokoa lost Moka, Danny caught up to her. "What just happened?" he asked. Kokoa explained everything. "So why are you fighting her?" he asked. "To make her my Onee-sama again, not this weak form." She replied. "Kokoa, she is your big sister, from what you told me this rosary seals her powers. That means both parts of her are connected. If you make outer Moka hate you, then inner Moka will too. And then what? Remember, family is the most important thing in life. Accept every part of her, and then if by some chance she becomes inner Moka permanently again then you can be happy with that too. But don't prioritize it. It can only cause pain." As he spoke, Kokoa seemed to get closer to crying until she finally burst into tears and held onto Danny for support. They then sat on the floor as she cried in his arms. When she finished she said "you're right. I've only known you for one day and you've changed my entire outlook on life. I don't understand." She said as she got up. "I've been told I have that effect on people, it's just my personality I guess." Replied Danny as he stood up. Then they heard over the loudspeakers, "Daniel Fenton and Kokoa Shuzen please report to the headmaster's office." "Great, I hope we aren't in trouble."
"Ah, you made it." Said the exorcist as the two nervous teens walked into his office. "Yeah, ruby helped us." Replied Danny. "Well, I have good news and bad news. What will you hear first?" the two of them looked at each other then looked at him with identical expressions and deadpanned in sync, "bad." The exorcist chuckled, "well. Due to unforeseen circumstances, we have not enough room in the dorms for you two to fit, and that's with people already sharing dorms." He said with a mischievous glint in his glasses. "What!" they called out in unison. "Well that leads to the good news. Our old groundskeeper retired because of overstressing, so you two may live in his house." Their faces brightened. "However he only had one bedroom and bed." Faces reddening and getting nervous. "But he had a ridiculous amount of hobbies so we can convert the spare rooms into extra bedrooms and other hobby rooms for you." Relief followed by mild excitement. "During summer vacation." jaws on floor with extremely red faces. They waited hoping for another sentence until they realized the headmaster was done talking. "So on the plus side, we basically have a house to ourselves to use as we please." Started Kokoa, "on the minus side we are basically sharing a bed until after summer break." Finished Danny. "Yes won't that be fun." He said "did he at least leave a couch for me to sleep on?" said Danny, later Kokoa would notice how he basically tried to give her the bed. "Actually he left nothing. But when ruby heard you two would have to sleep there she donated her bed. This leads me to my last bit of advice before you two need to go look for clubs." He looked around a bit "if you see, feel, or hear anything suspicious in that bed, call ruby and tell her to get her toys. And bleach any stain you see, that is also very important." The two of them looked highly disturbed as he shooed them off. "When we get there I'll take the mattress outside and clean it out." Said Danny as they went to the booths. "Right." Said Kokoa.
When they arrived at the club booths they started looking around for a decent club. "We can't join the newspaper club. I can't deal with Tskune's harem." Said Danny as they watched the group. "But this is the perfect time to talk to Moka." He finished. "Alright, in the meantime, find us a decent club, but no water, that's a vampire's weakness." Danny nodded and left.
When they met up again they each had good news. "Moka promised to hang out with me in her true form on Wednesday!" yelled Kokoa. "Great I got permission to make our own club; we just need a teacher to sponsor us." Said Danny. "Really. What's the club going to be?" she asked. "The hobby club." Said Danny with a smirk. Kokoa soon joined with the smirk. "Basically we only need an unsuspecting teacher to sign off on it." Said Danny then Kokoa smiled and said, "I think I know just the teacher."
After getting Mrs. Nekonome to sponsor them they went to the house they were given. They were amazed; it was big, bigger than Fenton works at least. Three stories, basement, roof patio, pool, greenhouse. And a nice plot of land behind it. "This was the groundskeepers house!?" shouted Danny. "It's basically a mansion." Kokoa who looked thoughtful about it said. "Well he also repaired the school after damaging fights erupted, cleaned everything, and took care of the landscaping. And from what I heard from the older students, a day without mass destruction was exceedingly rare last year. Must have gotten all this as incentive to stay, looks like it was real bad if this couldn't get him to stay." "Who do you think they got to replace him?" said Danny "ruby, at least she said she was." Replied Kokoa. "I feel deep sympathy for her." Said Danny. They then entered the house.
"Nice." Was the only thing they could think when they entered. And it was, but it was also filthy. "tomorrow we're cleaning this whole place. If you pay for the equipment I'll do the work." Said Danny Kokoa nodded. They followed the disturbed dust to find their bedroom. When they found the room on the third floor they saw a sign on the door. It said,
I didn't know what you liked so I left you some toys, enjoy (:
At this the two of them looked at each other with identical looks of horror. "Well I guess we need to get this out of the way." Said Danny. Kokoa nodded. They slowly opened the door and the sight caused them to turn every color of the visible spectrum ending on a greenish red. "Going ghost." Said Danny as he turned away. He wouldn't notice it until later but his ghost form outfit changed. Instead of his standard jump suit he was wearing a black and white version of the school uniform with trench coat length jacket split at the waist into two coat tails, collar upturned, black on the outside white on the inside, and black undershirt with neon green tie. His gloves were fingerless, and his boots became white sneakers with black soles. On the left side he had his DP emblem. Kokoa was surprised at this as he transformed in front of her for the first time. He then made two duplicates. The first flew away at high speeds. The second ran to the bathroom. "They'll be back." He said as he ushered Kokoa away from the horror. "You never said you were a legendary 'S' ranked monster." Said Kokoa. "Sorry, used to keeping it secret. But I needed to multitask so I felt little choice." "What did they do?" she asked. "First one went to unleash my unholy wrath upon ruby, and drag her here to remove her… things. The second was to vomit for me, and yes that actually works, no I don't know how. And I am here to help you keep what sanity you still have after that." He replied as they went to what appeared to be the kitchen. "At least they gave us a bit of food. Want some instant ramen; it should help settle your stomach." He said. "Well actually…" "I see, well ok go on." Replied Danny as he gestured to his neck. "Thanks." Kokoa said as she blushed a little and bit him. They stood there for while, her sucking his blood. Eventually they broke apart.
At that moment ruby appeared tailed by two Dannys one looking disturbed, the other slightly sick. "Did you get that shit out of our room?" asked Danny. "Yes and I bleached everything." Replied ruby. "Good now out of here you sick pervert." growled Kokoa. After she left the three Dannys merged. "Oh god," said Danny. "What?" asked Kokoa "when I threatened to beat the living shit out of her if she didn't clean up her mess, she actually got all flirty with me like she was exited at the idea." "You would honestly hurt her?" asked Kokoa. "No but I thought it would get us a safe bedroom faster." Said Danny as he used his ghost ray to heat up the instant ramen.
After dinner and putting their school things in the proper locations, Danny said "I'm gonna call my parents, I can have them send over my furniture from my room and maybe all the spare furniture from the guest room that way we don't need to wait till summer vacation. I'll also have them send over some tools and equipment so I can turn the basement to a workshop." with the furniture problem solved they went to the now safe bedroom. "Alright, I have an alarm clock. When do you want to get up?" said Danny. "Five thirty should work for us." Said Kokoa, "I'm going to take a bath, or wait, maybe you should first, because I need to put herbs in the water." Danny just replied, "I'm sure I saw another bathroom, I'll use that one." Kokoa nodded, on the inside there was a little part of her that had wanted him to suggest they bathe together, but she made sure to beat it down with a stick. She didn't realize that there was a small voice in Danny's head that suggested the same thing; it too was beaten by a mental Kokoa with a stick.
Soon after, Danny was lying in the bed on his side. Kokoa walked in and got in next to him, Danny said, "if you get thirsty in the middle of the night, don't hesitate to bite me. Just try not to wake me alright." "Alright Danny" replied Kokoa. As she drifted to sleep she subconsciously snuggled closer to him. And as Danny began drifting to sleep, he thought "maybe this situation isn't as bad as it could have been" and with that he was asleep.
Unfortunately that didn't last long. Around midnight he was up screaming. Kokoa punched him out of reflex before saying, "oh crap sorry about that. Are you alright?" "Yeah, I'm fine…" said Danny as he stood up from the floor. "Nightmare?" she asked. Now, even though she would deny it to the high heavens she was not heartless. In fact she cared a lot about other people. At least the people that were nice to her. It was part of her vampire pride. And for some reason she cared a lot for this guy. Maybe it was the fact that he purposely allowed her to drink his blood whenever she wanted. Or maybe it was his kind personality and genuine concern for her. In all honesty she knew why, but she would also deny that to the high heavens… for now.
"No, that would be great but they're memories." Said Danny with a sad smile. "Bull shit," said Kokoa. "I grew up in a home where daily attempts on your life were as common as having a group lunch. Even I don't wake up screaming in the middle of the night." Danny just chuckled. "At least your food didn't have the habit of trying to eat you." "What?" said Kokoa confused. "Back at my home that had a tendency to happen. In fact back at home I was in an eerily similar situation." Said Danny suddenly very pensive. "Anyway let's go back to bed." "No, tell me what you mean." Said Kokoa. "Fine but lets do it this way." Danny transformed and split in two. "While this one sleeps I'll take you into my memories. That should give you all you need." "You can do that?" asked Kokoa. "Yeah, it's not that hard. Just need to overshadow myself and place you in the dreams then force myself to remember." Explained Danny. "Oh… alright." said Kokoa not fully understanding. Danny reached out his hand. "Are you ready to experience my life through my eyes?" Kokoa at that moment saw him glowing his ghostly way in the moonlight coming through the curtains. His sad almost tormented smile, she could tell the idea of remembering all this was not a comforting one. And then she realized, he was about to show her every waking moment of his life. He trusted her with his existence. He literally was sharing all his life with her. "Yeah, I'm ready. Are you going to see mine?" she said slightly blushing. "That depends. Do you trust me with that knowledge?" he replied somewhat surprised. "Well you trust me… I suppose it's only fair." She said blushing more. "Alright. This will take all night. Even with the dream speed. Let's go."
Kokoa saw it all, birth, childhood, Christmas…, and felt it, death and fusing, fights, and him. The monster he could have become. She saw and felt another person's entire life. And she was now sure why she liked him. He was good, he was kind, he was strong, and he was brave. And all that, but he was still hated, by even his own parents. When she was out of him (eww that sounded kinda wrong) she would do the only thing she could think of, she would hug him and try to make him feel better. Little did she know, he was feeling the same within her memories. When the memories ended with the events of today, Kokoa had to fight back a tear for the unfortunate life of her friend. Eventually she felt the floor return to beneath her feet, she turned to Danny and hugged him, and he hugged her. Soon the clock rang and they got ready for school, each having a greater appreciation for each other.
Well, what do you think, continue?
