On the edge of the Hidden leaf's village not far from the border of the Land of Fire, there stands an ancient and rather grand towering building crafted from ancient brick and yet kept in impeccable condition. Unknown at first sight, this mansion is in no way ordinary. It is in fact the number one school for the country's teenage…monsters. Yep you heard right, MONSTERS!
The school consists of everything to well-known and most feared, to the very rare and unheard of creatures, as well as range of social classes from common average students to highly respected and popular ones.
It is truly the villages very own Monster High School, and today it's about to receive a very new and troublesome student.
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
The young teen groaned deeply as he was rudely awakened from his slumber. He reached out half-heartedly to his alarm clock, on about the third try he managed to silence the damn thing! He stirred slightly before turning over dragging the sheets over his head.
~Little while later~
The next time he rolled over he lazily cracked one of his bright blue eyes open to glance at the clock face, before slowly closing it again. The next second…
"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!" He sprang from the bed grabbing the alarm clock and bringing it up swiftly to his face, his eyes widened in shock and he quickly tossed the thing aside.
*clock face reads 7:50am, was supposed to be up at 6:30am* -_- oops!
He scampered to his wardrobe on the far side of his small room and flung the doors open, frantically rummaging through the contents.
"Why today of all days do I have to wake up late!?" He cursed under his breath before pulling out some clothes. He stripped himself within seconds and tossed his pyjamas and night cap back on his unmade bed.
He grabbed a plain black vest top and covered it with a bright orange short sleeved shirt, not bothering to do up the buttons. He opened a drawer below the cupboard pulling out a black and red striped neck tie. Draping it around his neck, he removed some black trousers from another drawer before clumsily trying to move towards the kitchen area - whilst putting them on.
After stumbling a couple of times he finally managed to put them on and secure them with a belt, leaving him with just enough time to stuff some toast in the toaster before grabbing a pair of socks and a pair of black converse trainers. After fastening the laces he made a quick trip to the bathroom, he glanced in the mirror at his rather disheveled appearance, it was clear that mornings weren't exactly his best time of day!
He ruffled his blonde spiky hair to try and get rid of the I-just-got-out-of-bed-and-I'm-exhausted look before doing up his tie, not properly but just so it was secure enough. Then he heard the toast pop and went to grab it. He didn't have time to cover it with anything, he just stuffed it in his mouth and headed for the front door, grabbing a dark red jacket.
Just as he swung the door open he glanced to a coat hook just by the door frame, there hung a black beanie hat covered with little orange swirls that he used when walking around the village…as to not draw attention to himself. For the truth he was no ordinary boy.
He hung his head a little, remembering some of the unpleasant memories that still haunted him. He reached up slowly above his head to reach his ears but they weren't his ordinary ears for this boy was a creature of myth, legend many people didn't even know existed and those who did feared.
He was actually a type of spirit, a fox spirit to be more precise it had been sealed within him when he was born. He was oblivious to this until only a couple of years ago, though even then he wasn't hugely surprised, everyone around him sure as hell didn't try and hide the fact.
Having this spirit within him meant that he possessed unknown power even he couldn't comprehend. He didn't just carry this burden on the inside he also bore the marks on the outside as well; this distinguished him from NORMAL people and made him an easy target for their hate.
The marks in question came in the shape of three whisker marks on each of his cheeks. Recently however he had also been given fox ears and tail, making him even more noticeable.
Due to these 'disfigurements' he wore the beanie to hide his ears and would pull up his tail under the back of his shirt so it could not be seen. The cheek marks however couldn't be helped, although no one seemed to mind them as much. The funny thing was that he wasn't the only 'freak' in the village; in fact this village in particular had the largest population in the whole country. Yet people treated him different, as if he were the only one, when in truth there were far more dangerous ones out there compared to him.
That got to him more than anything.
Why did he have to be the odd one out?
Why did everyone hate him so much?
It was not his fault, he didn't ask for this.
He just didn't understand.
He clenched his fists. But today that was all going to change, snapping back to reality he shrieked realising he had just wasted more time! He grabbed his backpack slinging it over his shoulder as well as the beanie off the hook and slammed the door shut; he locked it swiftly before darting away.
Reluctantly he pulled the hat over his head and got to work concealing his tail just as he turned the corner into the main village road. With the toast still firmly in his mouth he took it in his hand and took swift bites out of it every now and then as he ran. He made his way to the main village entrance gates which led towards the woods, for beyond there lay his new school!
He ignored the occasional glances and whispers as people went by, for someday he was going to show them all what he was made of, and then the day would come when people would look up and respect him. They would treat him like everyone else.
"Ha I'm Naruto Uzumaki and nothings gonna stop me, BELIEVE IT!" He yelled as he leapt out of the village, punching a fist into the air!
~At Konoha Monster High, in the corridor~
"Hey guys did you hear, we're getting a new student today?!" A girl, with pale blue eyes and long blonde hair pulled back into ponytail, ran from her locker to catch up with a bunch of other girls. A pink haired girl with green eyes turned to face her.
"No way really, where'd you hear that Ino, I thought that was just a stupid rumour?"
"So did I but I just heard Kiba complaining about it!"
Ino finally caught up and bent forward hands on her knees breathing deeply to catch her breath. She straightened up and reached in her backpack and brought out a strange carton of liquid. Only to find it empty. She sighed and looked up towards the pink haired girl who smiled and rummaged round through her own bag to produce a similar carton.
"Well I wouldn't trust anything Kiba has to say, you know what he's like."
As she passed the carton over to her friend she looked around and noticed that the other girls all had a wary look in their eyes - with a hand over their necks.
Meanwhile Ino opened the carton and drank from it greedily, realising what the others were doing she stopped.
"Oh come on you guys you know I would never do what you're thinking."
The girls seemed to relax a bit.
"Anyway, none of you are my type."
"Besides" the pink haired girl stepped forward placing an arm round her friend smiling "it's so un-lady like to just go around biting people." The two girls laughed at the very idea…revealing two sharp pairs of fangs protruding from their upper jaws.
"I'm glad they only let civil beings like us come here, otherwise who knows what would happen eh Sakura!" A brown haired girl remarked rather proudly.
"Ah who knows Tenten, but I do wish humans would stop thinking we are all mindless and bloodthirsty animals."
"There are those who bring disgrace to our kind, but certainly not any of us here."
"Well they better hope they never CROSS me!"
Ino giggled at her joke. The rest of the girls just shook their heads lightly and started walking away.
"What? What did I say?!" She cried as she trailed on behind them.
