Hi everyone. It's me again. Back with yet another Love Live fanfiction. This time it's supernatural (kind of?). I really have no idea what I'm supposed to do here. Um...I don't own Love Live.
She hated the sunlight. It shone through her closed window blinds and onto her blanket. She could feel it as it traced a line across her face. Groaning, she rolled off her bed, taking her blanket and pillow with her. Out of the sun's reach, she tried to go back to sleep. Her phone rang. She reached for it, thankful that the pillow had prevented its destruction. She flipped it open, placing it near her ear.
"What?"
"Good morning to you too, Honoka." Honoka groaned, pushing herself into a sitting position.
"You know I hate the morning." She complained.
"We still need to go to school. Even if we can't take sunlight. Otherwise, people will become suspect."
"Okay, okay, Umi-chan. I'm coming." Honoka hung up and stretched. She got changed into her school uniform. Taking a quick peek out the window, she decided to bring an umbrella.
"I'm going!" She said to an empty house. She opened the umbrella and stepped into the sunlight.
'I'm Kousaka Honoka. Sixteen years old and a second year at Otonoziaka Academy. Oh, and I'm a vampire.'
She pulled the curtain over the classroom window, shading herself.
"Good morning, Honoka-chan!" Kotori greeted her. She seemed to be in a good mood as per usual, and even seemed to be infecting the normally serious Umi with her cheer.
'These two are my only friends in this school. They are also vampires like me, but deal much better with mornings.' She looked at the light pink curtain that blocked the sunlight. 'You may be wondering why I live alone right? Well…'
Ten years ago. Honoka and her friends were only six, or around that age. All of the vampire families in Japan met once a year, and this year's meeting was drawing close. There had been arguments going on between the rebel faction and the rest of the vampires. The rebel faction consisted of vampires who believed partnerships with the werewolves was possible. The Kousaka and Sonoda families were on the side of the rebels. The Minami family was not. It was at the meeting that something terrible happened. The 'pure' vampires arrested the Kousaka and Sonoda families for 'treason by aligning themselves against their own kind'. Kotori's mom had spirited Honoka and Umi away at Kotori's request, and they were barely able to escape. Later on, they received news of the deaths of their parents, and in Honoka's case, her younger sister as well. Kotori and her mother were disowned by the rest of their family for this act, but that was all.
'So me and Umi-chan have our own houses where we live alone and Kotori and her mom live together. But Kotori's mom has to work hard to secure money for all of us.' Honoka thought. She sighed.
"Class hasn't even started yet Honoka. Don't fall asleep." Umi chided.
"Yeah, yeah." Honoka said, propping her head up with one arm. "I'm up."
"Are you going to see the first-years later? I heard from my mom that there's some werewolves in the mix." Kotori's eyes gleamed. 'Yeah…her mom's the headmaster of our school. So we don't have to pay at all for our education here.'
"Probably not. The last time we tried making friends with werewolves…" Honoka shuddered. The three of them bore scars from that encounter.
"But maybe they'll be nicer! We can't consider ourselves part of the rebel faction if we give up so fast!" Kotori said, with unbounded enthusiasm.
"Ask me again later." The teacher had just walked in. "I'm gonna sleep." Umi sighed as Honoka lay her head against the cool wood of the desk. She needed to catch up on the sleep that she missed by playing video games into the night. 'After all, vampires are nocturnal…' She thought as she drifted off.
"Come on. We're going to see the first years." Umi said, pulling Honoka along. Kotori skipped at their side as they walked down the stairs to the first year classrooms.
"Okay, okay! You don't have to pull my arm off!" Honoka whined. Umi let go and Honoka rubbed her arm, whimpering. They reached the first-year room just as the door slid open. The Student Council President, Ayase Eri, walked out of the classroom. She eyed the three of them coldly before walking away, followed by her two friends, Tojo Nozomi and Yazawa Nico. 'Her again. The President is only member left of the Ayase family. They were highly respected in the vampire world. Her family's death is held in secret, so we don't know what happened. Yazawa-senpai is also of the vampire world. She lives apart from her family, but we don't know why either. They're both part of the 'pure' faction so they hate the three of us. And Tojo-senpai is a normal human, though we don't know why she is able to hang out with them so much without finding out…' Honoka, Umi, and Kotori watched the three third-years walk away.
"U-um…can I help you?" A first year with brown hair and purple eyes asked. She sliding the door shut when it bumped into Honoka's foot, prompting her to look up.
"Huh?" Honoka remembered why they were there. "Oh, we're here to greet the first-years."
"T-Then just come in…" She slid the door open again. Honoka and her friends filed in past the girl and she closed the door behind them. There were only two other students in the room besides the girl that had let them in.
"Where are the rest of your class?" Umi asked. A girl sitting on the window sill with her legs crossed jerked a thumb at the window. The three walked over to the window and peered out.
"Maki-chan's saying that the rest of our class has already left nya!" The third first-year said cheerfully. The girl by the window, presumbably Maki, shrugged in response.
"Oh, I see." Umi said.
"So…what are you doing here, vampires?" Maki asked, playing with her hair.
"You knew?" Honoka's eyes widened. Maki shrugged again, indicating both yes and no.
"Maki-chan says that she took a guess." The first year interpreted again. Maki glared at her.
"It was totally not a guess Rin!"
"Yeah it was nya! I saw you!"
"B-both of you, please s-stop arguing." The first year who had greeted them calmed the other two girls.
"Well…if you knew of vampires, then you three must be…"
"That's right nya! We're werewolves." Rin said, a dangerous gleam in her eyes.
"…A werewolf that acts like a cat?" Kotori asked, tilting her head in confusion.
"You got a problem with that?" Surprisingly, it was Maki who had spoken up on Rin's defense. She slipped off the window sill and planted herself in front of the orange-haired werewolf, getting ready for a fight.
"We don't have a problem with it!" Honoka said quickly. The red-head eased up a little, though she was still wary of the trio.
"We should start over." Umi sighed. "Look, we're from the 'rebel' faction of vampires. We have no interest in participating in the war against werewolves."
"Good. Because the last two vamps who came in sure didn't act that way." Maki retorted. ' "The last two vamps"? Oh she must mean the President and her friend.' Honoka thought.
"We don't want a fight. We're trying to bridge the feud between the two species." Honoka said. "I'm Kousaka Honoka. Let's be friends." She put her hand out to for a handshake.
"How would we be able to know you're telling the truth?" Maki questioned, not even looking at the proffered hand.
"My family is all dead. So is Honoka's. And Kotori and her mom were disowned by their family. We have no connection with the vampire world." Umi said.
"…" Maki processed the new information. 'They seem to be telling the truth, at least about their families. And we are trying to bridge the gap too, but can I really trust these vampires?' Her neck throbbed, remind her of how a vampire had once tried to take her life for no reason other than the fact that she was a werewolf.
"I don't know, Maki-chan. They seem nice enough nya." Rin spoke out, before being silenced by a look from the red-head. 'Wolves travel in packs. And with these three, it seems that this 'Maki' is the leader.' Honoka thought. The red-head turned to the brown haired girl.
"Are you okay with them, Hanayo?" Maki asked, taking Honoka by surprise. 'So…this leader does not rule without concern for her friends.'
"Y-yes!" Hanayo responded.
"That's settled. We'll play nice. For now." Maki took Honoka's hand and shook it.
"So. Who wants to go chow down on fast food?!" Honoka asked cheerfully. She didn't know why but her energy level was suddenly way up after shaking hands with Maki. 'Vampires and werewolves aren't supposed to get along. Let's see how this turns out.'
Sorry to all you HonoMaki peoples out there who probably want to kill me for the ending of Favors. Hopefully this makes up for it (don't kill me please!). And a question, should I bring back the future girls who did commentary in Favors? If you don't know them, their descriptions are on my profile. Review please!
