AUTHORS NOTE: This is my first ever fanfiction, so if it sucks well, you know why. ':| Constructive criticism is welcome! :D
Chapter One
Demons were thriving all around the moving train. Most were Coal Tar demons and some Hog-Monkeys. My demon claw tapped against the window of my compartment.
"We will be arriving to True Cross Academy in a few minutes. Thank you." The train horns sounded after the intercom shut off and I saw it. A mountain of lights. I stood and opened the top compartment for luggage across from me, pulling out a navy blue suitcase. My hair, like real ocean, fell onto my shoulders as I pulled my yellow hair clip out and stuffed it into my pocket. The train stopped suddenly, and an immense pain washed over my mind. I fell to the floor holding my head. I stopped breathing and the world slowly turned black.
"Hello class. I'm Mr. Hakkido. I hope you all are ready to learn in this class." A man wearing dark blue pants, a suit jacket, and had a very long beard with dark hair strode into the room.
"We will first begin with a test, of which, you will write me your best story." The girl in front of me raised her hand.
"Yes," he said rather dimly.
"Is there a specific topic?" She asked
"No," he shook his head. "Begin!" I pulled out a piece of paper and began to write a story. when I was done, I handed it to him. Soon, everyone was done and Mr. Hakkido began to read some.
"This one is by Miss Dafline:
There once was three siblings.
The eldest, Saphire, loved gems.
The middle child, Shane, loved nature.
And, the youngest child, Gilfred, loved animals.
When they argued storms and earthquakes happened.
But, when saphire left her brothers the world fell.
And so, it was destroyed."
He looked like tearing up the paper.
"Okay, Mr. Sato:
Five years ago, the world was destroyed.
Now we live on a distant planet known as Serin.
But,
a week ago,
our previous destroyers found us and terminated us for good.
Now, we are nothing but a memory."
A tear rolled down Mr. Hakkido's cheek.
"Last one. Miss Mikimori:
Rain fell upon my face.
You could barely tell that I was crying.
Daniel held out his hand.
I took it. Kyle was gone.
Why do I hold back my love for my brother now.
He drowned today and I shed tears for him.
But, I never even showed him I loved him.
Daniel pulled me close and we hugged for a long time.
I would make it up to my brother.
I swear.
I heard sobs from Mr. Hakkido. He scanned the room with red eyes.
"Who is Miss Mikimori?" I raised my hand.
"Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful." I smiled.
"Thank you." I said. The bell rang.
Being an exorcist was my dream and now I was at the doorstep of exorcism school. I unlocked the door and stepped in. The walls had patterns that were colorful all over. I kept going till I came to the right door. I took the knob and pulled. I stepped in. Two girl were sitting in the closest desk to the door. One had purple hair in pigtails, and the other, brown shoulder length hair. They glanced at me and I walked to the back, three desks down from the front, middle desk.
Three guys sat a desk up from me to the left, but they really only looked up at me. The shortest, was bald and wore glasses. Another, had pink hair and handsome features, and I guessed his name was Shima from the bald guy with glasses. The last one was brown haired, except for a blond rhino horn, I called them, in the front of his head. He had piercings and sideburns. He was the only one that followed me to the desk at which I sat.
Last, a guy with pointy ears and sharp teeth came in, with a red sword-case around one shoulder. He sat in the front, middle desk. He had a little white dog with him. I pulled out my notebook and started drawing the last pages of my cartoon when our teacher, I think, came in. He set a suitcase down on the front table.
"Pleased to meet you." He said, his glasses shining in the sunlight. "I'm Yukio Okumura, your instructor." The boy with pointed ears freaked out, standing up and pointing.
"Y-Yukio?" He said. A smile appeared on Mr. Okumura's face.
"I'm Yukio Okumura, a new instructor teaching Anti-demon Pharmaceutics." Mr. Okumura said.
"Pleased to meet you!" The two girls in the front said. The guy, Shima, with pink hair raised his hand and said:
"How do you do!"
"What the hell, Yukio?" The pointy-eared guy said again.
"Is there a problem?" Mr. Okumura asked, or in this case 'Yukio'.
"What do you mean, 'is there a problem'? The question is, what's your problem?"
"Although I'm actually the same age as you all, I've been studying exorcism since I was seven, and finished all my courses two years ago. So just to be practical, I'd appreciate If you call me "teacher" in this class." Mr. Okumura said. The pointy-eared guy was now standing normal.
"Since you were seven... your kidding, right?" The white dog next to him said something I didn't catch.
"Is there anyone who hasn't received a Temptaint?" Mr. Okumura asked. Three people raised their hands. One of them was the brown haired girl. Another was the rhino-horn guy with the piercings. And, the last one was a person in a black hoodie behind me.
"Three of you, huh. In that case, we'll start with the Temptaint Ritual." Mr. Okumura went on.
"The fact is, normally this classroom isn't used, and it's now a den of goblins- a certain kind of demon."
"Huh?"
"I-is this place safe?" The brown haired girl asked.
"It's perfectly safe. Goblins are a low-leveled type of demon only capable of mere mischief... so their perfect for ritual use." Mr. Okumura said, opening the suitcase.
"H-hey, Yukio!" The pointy-eared rat, I was now gonna call him shouted.
"Class is in session...please sit down. Now then... I just described goblins as low-level demons. Even so, a demon is still a demon."
"Yukio, you've got to be straight with me!"
"Upon catching the scent of rotten animal blood, such as this...they grow excited and, in turn, become ferocious." The pointy-eared rat grabbed Mr. Okumura by the arm and pulled him closer.
"Hold up, I said! Yukio! Come on, Talk to me! Yukio!"
"About what?" Mr. Okumura asked.
"Don't play dumb with me!" The pointy-eared rat said throwing his arm back. I grabbed my knife ready to throw it. Everybody else braced too.
"I see I have no choice. Class, as I need to discuss something with Rin Okumura, I must ask you to wait in the hall." Mr. Okumura announced.
"Jeez! That guy's a pain!" Rhino-horn said, getting up. Everyone else, including me did too. As soon as I shut the door, I pressed my ear to it.
"What do you think your doing?" Rhino-horn asked me.
"Finding out." I replied. I pressed my ear closer.
"Well? What is it that you wanted to ask me?" I heard.
"Drop the clueless act! Tell me what's going on! No one ever told me about any of this!"
"Looks like you'd better explain, then." I heard another voice.
"Just like I said before, I became an exorcist two years ago. I started my training at seven. After Dad suggested it..."
"The old man? So you knew about the old mans work, even back then?"
"Yes. You were the only one who didn't know, Rin. In any case, it was from-"
"Okay! Stop eve's dropping on them!" Rhino-horn said.
"Shh! You made me miss a good part." I said listening closer.
"...For as long as I can remember, I've been able to see demons..."
"No way...Why, Yukio? Why didn't you say anything to me till today? I'm asking you why didn't you tell me!"
"Let go of me."
"Yukio!" I heard glass shatter, and pulled away.
"What is it?" The purple haired girl asked. I put my ear back.
"It stinks!" I heard breaking of pipes, and this time, pulled away and sat there.
"Well?" Shima asked.
"I think their fighting." I said. Everyone averted their eyes to the door.
"I'm gonna listen back in." I said. I pressed my ear to the door again. Gunshots boomed. I pulled away and shook my head. I put my ear back on the door one last time and heard:
"I'm not done yet!" Several more gunshots. I pulled away and turned to them.
"I think their...killing...each other." I said. I waited. Through the door I heard:
"Knowing you were a demon..." This time I stood up and stepped back.
"Um, no one listen." I said. Their eyes grew wide. We all heard more gunshots. Three more. A lot more.
Mr. Okumura opened the door.
"Sorry to keep you waiting, class. We can resume the lesson now." He said as we all entered. We were all mesmerized.
"What th...?" The brown haired girl said.
"What happened in here?" The bald kid with glasses asked. The room was trashed. Literally, trashed.
"What is it with those guys." Rhino-horn asked.
After class, the purple haired girl and brown haired girl introduced themselves as Kamiki, and Paku. Also, Rhino-horn was Suguro, and I was right about the pink haired guy being Shima, and the bald kid with glasses was Konekomaru. I didn't like pointy-eared rat though, so I kept on calling him pointy-eared rat instead of Rin. Nimi, my best friend was laying in her bed reading one of my comics called Red Gale.
"So, do they get together?" Nimi asked me.
"Read it." I said rolling my eyes. "I did write that, so, the least you could do is actually read it." Nimi sighed and stuck her nose back into the comic book. I dug into my bag and pulled out a novel by myself, and started reading. Since I wrote it, I knew what was going to happen. My character Kijur will meet a girl called Danya, and fall in love. It was all so easy anyway, so, I wrote mostly comics. I set down the book and looked at Nimi.
"So, what happened in class today?" I asked her. She shrugged.
"I met this cute guy with brown hair, and a blond rhino-horn. Oh, and he also had piercings." Nimi said. I narrowed my gaze.
"What's his name?" I asked.
"Suguro, or something."
"That little-!" a knock at the door stopped me.
"Coming!" Nimi shouted. She put down my comic and ran to the door. She twisted the knob.
"Oh, hi!" Nimi said. I heard someone's voice, but couldn't make out what they were saying.
"Kira! It's for you!" Nimi shouted. I came running to the door only to stop to see my uncle. I was speechless. His spiky hair thing was not in it's usual state. It looked like someone tried to flatten it, but failed. It was crooked.
"what...? What are you doing here? Your not allowed into the True Cross Academy!" I said. Nimi sighed.
"I told you." She said to my uncle. My uncle scratched his head. Then, he dug into one pocket and withdrew a glass vial with a cream colored liquid in it.
"This is for your demon bite." He said handing me the vial.
"Thanks! Now, good bye." I shut the door and locked it. Nimi rolled her eyes.
"He's your uncle, Kira! At least show some respect! He risked coming onto True Cross Academy's land just to give you an ointment!" Nimi said. I sighed.
"Nimi...you just don't know him." I said laying down in my bed. "Just go to sleep. We have school tomorrow."
