Chapter 1: Rairabukuro

Monsters are creatures in the world that are different, different from humans. They are all different from one another, a girl and a boy, a dog and cat, a monster and a god. Ah, yes. This story is about two inhuman creatures in particular. A powerfully strong monster like human and a cunning glorious selfish narcissistic god like human, but neither were truly human. Which was not uncommon in Japan in the slightest. There was even a special school where monsters go to try to curb their instincts, habits, or powers. The school was called Rairabukuro academy, it was located near the middle of Japan so that all the monsters would have to travel less, and this was a good thing considering many of Rairabukuro's student body were labeled as bad rebellious students.

Yes, this is where the a strong blonde selfless monster and the god of information met. It was a meeting all the new students of Rairabukuro remember, because it was, well to put it simply, rather frightening. In this new class of Rairabukuro freshmen, there were many who were already well known. Including the monster and the god, there were 6 other creatures to fear. A headless Valkyrie who manipulated shadows, a yellow scarfed skeleton who was a pervert, a four eyed wizard who loved the Valkyrie, a shy alien who could merge with electronics, a demon girl with a dangerous blade, and a ghost girl who was in love with a human.

It all started on the day the freshmen arrived, all the chaos and the sick games the misfit creatures played on each other. Some more so than others, because it was their only entertainment. To occupy the creatures, each classroom created a game. It was called "Pluck the Weeds", it was a sick game where all the creatures of the classroom voted on someone to be bullied for a week, they were called "The Weed." Every week there was a "Plucker" chosen as well, the plucker got to boss the person around all week, and if the weed doesn't listen to the plucker's commands, they would be blackmailed into getting expelled. Then, the plucker is out of next week's pick for being the plucker. Everyone always got a turn at the bottom of the stack. Weeds and Pluckers were chosen by numbers.

The class representative or class rep. would write down a number out of hundred on a blackboard behind a screen, whoever got the closest the number would be the plucker, and whoever was the farthest got the weed. If there was a draw in the plucker category there would be a fight for the title, but if there was a draw in the weed section you voted for the creature you hated most and they would be the weed of the week. It was a very interesting game that Rairabukuro had played for several years behind the teachers' backs. It was all done after hours and was set up by the class rep. Who was exempt from the Pluck the Weed game the whole year, so many students craved for the position, but usually the weakest person got class rep. Every year at Rairabukuro was a game, some manipulated, others were pawns, and some were unpredictable...


"Shizuo...I never told you about mom and dad's accident...have I?" I heard my younger brother say to me. This was only a 1 year ago when we had this conversation, me and my younger brother, Kasuka.

"No, you haven't." I had replied looking up at while making us dinner. That night, We were having spaghetti and meatballs for Kasuka's 14th birthday.

"I killed them...onii-chan...Did you know that...they were like us?" I remember the look in his eyes when he had said this. His eyes were very dark and sad.

"You...You killed...What do you mean like us?" I still find it funny how surprise could short circuit a brain if the impact was revolutionary.

"I killed them on accident...With my powers...They couldn't...control their powers either...We will become bad people...If we don't do something about ours." I had felt only slightly relieved, but I felt the fear rise in me.

"what are you saying Kasuka?" I had asked breathlessly.

"Onii-chan,...we have to go to a special school...for creatures like-" then my mind flashed forward to a scene that haunted my mind, the day I lost my brother.

Blood, Kasuka, Floor,dead,bleed,cry, Kasuka, Kasuka, Kasuka, Kasuka, blood, red, bad, KASUKA, KASU-

Dead

"SHIZUO"

"HELP"


"KASUKA!" A blonde boy shouted this as he reached to the ceiling with an outstretched hand. It was all a bad dream he wished would just disappear before his eyes. The nightmares that tormented him endlessly were his damned memories. Shizuo retreated his extended arm from above and placed it again under the covers to cradle his other arm, shivering from the nightmare that had seemingly possessed him. To Shizuo, his mind was a prison warden, keeping all of his past locked away, but in the night unfortunately, the past came to haunt him.

There was no time to sleep anymore to the blonde boy as he got out of bed, still shivering in fear, shock, and more importantly, anxiety. To distract himself, Shizuo looked around his private bedroom. He was in Rairabukuro academy dormitory building in his brand new room. He had arrived on campus only 2 hours ago, and he still felt nauseated from the flight. Shizuo Hewajima had many paranoia problems and one of them happened to be flying on an airplane. His hands had been gripping the arm stands so hard in his grip that he broke it with his strength on accident.

Shizuo, like many young Rairabukuro students, had a hard time controlling their powers when emotion took over them. Especially fear, fear was the worst emotion for the powerful creatures of Rairabukuro, because all forms of life, creatures, animals and humans alike, become a slave to the feeling of fear. The way fear made creatures act though was unpredictable, wild, reckless, savage, alert, and most of the time if not controlled, fatal. That was one of the reasons why Shizuo was here.

Shizuo opened the door of his private room and peeked out into the hallway cautiously, looking for any sign of life or movement. After a few moments of silence, he crept out of his hiding spot and shut the door behind him quietly, his caramel eyes concentrating on the doorknob. Once Shizuo had shut his door he began to walk down the right hallway trying to pinpoint the location of a restroom. He remembered the guide telling him the restroom was only 4 doors down, but Shizuo didn't see it anywhere. This really pissed him off, because he really needed to go.

'Damn guide! He probably didn't even know what the fuck he was doing when he told me where it was! Damn asshole! Dammit! Dammit! DAMMI-' Shizuo had been so wrapped up in his frustrated thoughts that he turned a corner and slammed right into another person, and fell to the floor. "OOF-" "OH MY GOSH I AM SO SORRY," Shizuo's brown eyes opened to see a black haired boy above him, and his eyes widened. The boy's eyes were a stunning night sky blue that made Shizuo speechless, but he had to say something, "It's..," Shizuo sighed as he tried to speak again, "It's fine. It wasn't your fault. I wasn't looking at where I was going-" "b-but, I really as sorry! I didn't mean to run into you, I am so-" "If you apologize one more time your dead, got it? I don't like cry babies..." Shizuo snapped at the boy sharply, but instantly regretted it as he saw the boy cringe and look up at him.

Shizuo heart wrenched like he had kicked a baby puppy to the curb as the raven haired boy looked at him with a sad expression. His blue eyes looked straight at Shizuo as the boy stood up, offering his frail pale hand to Shizuo with a smile, he whispered to Shizuo, "Do you need help?" Shizuo sat up and stood on his own, brushing the helping hand away and said, "Yeah, Where's the nearest bathroom?"

The raven scratched his head and chuckled nervously and whispered, "I don't know. That's where I was trying to find before I crashed into you." The blonde growled frustratedly, "Great. Just my rotten luck." "Well, um...What's your name?" The blonde looked at the raven and said, "My name's Shizuo, Shizuo Hewajima." "My name is Mikado Ryugamine, it's a pleasure to meet you," Mikado bowed to Shizuo in a formal greeting, and smiled brightly. Shizuo, being the shy intimidating person he was pushed up his purple tinted glasses on the bridge of his nose.

"Well, I guess we better look for a bathroom now, which way?" Shizuo looked at the two directions that neither had went. 'Damn it, all the freaking hallways look the same,"Shizuo grunted and pointed in the opposite direction of where he had come from. "Let's go that way, any objections," Shizuo pointed at the direction and looked back at Mikado. "No, your guess is as good as mine." Mikado shrugged and walked in the direction of Shizuo's finger as the blonde followed closely behind the raven, looking at every door and down ever hallway they passed.

Suddenly, they heard a loud girlish laugh that stopped them in their tracks, making them look for the source of the sound. Then the door beside them opened followed by a male whining about something, and then they stood face to face with black haired girl, and yellow haired fox demon. The laughter and whining from the two stopped as they looked at the two boys standing before them. "Hey, are you guys freshmen? The freshmen hallways are down that way if you're lost," The blonde kitsune boy spoke as he pointed toward the hallways they just came from. Shizuo grunted as the raven boy beside him bowed and spoke softly, "I am very sorry we disturbed you...um...w-we were just trying to find the bathroom, but...we got lost...and now we...can't find our rooms."

"Don't worry," the chipper black haired girl explained, "Freshmen always get lost the first week. We can help you, This scenario is totally like a BL (boy's love) manga, where two boys bump into each-" "What's your room numbers," the blonde one asked as the girl kept talking. Shizuo looked over at the ground as he gritted out, "42". " Mine is 63," Mikado said. The girl stopped talking after a minute and opened the door to her room, and shouted, "Hey Dota-chin, me and Walker are going to help some freshmen get back to their rooms, okay?" A man's monotone voice replied, "Alright, but make it quick you two. Sabaro's found AFV on Netflix."

"AFV, no way! That was my favorite show as a kid! We definitely have to watch it Erika!" Walker said excitedly. Shizuo pushed his purple glasses up on the bridge of his nose. 'These guys are definitely weird,' Shizuo thought with a yawn. "Can we go already? I really need to piss." Shizuo grumbled as Erika shouted back into the door, "Be back in a second Dota-chin!" Erika and Walker started to run down the hallway where Mikado and Shizuo had appeared. "So you guys are the new freshmen, huh? My name is Erika, and his name is Walker. I am Kuro neko, and Walker is a fox demon. We don't bite," Erika said looking at Mikado earnestly. "It's nice to meet you. My name is Mikado Ryugamine, a-and I'm an alien," He said quietly with his face looking flushed at the effort.

"Woah! Your name totally sounds like a pseudonym for a manga writer!" Exclaimed Walker with a wide smile as Erika cut in, "It does! That's so cool! Is that your real name?" "Yeah," Mikado said with a smile. Erika looked over at the blonde and asked, "What's your name?" Shizuo looked at everyone who in turn were looking straight at him for the answer, "The name is Shizuo, Shizuo Hewajima. I am a special kind of monster I guess. I have super strength unlike any other damned creature, and Raira academy said I am like a human, only 16 times stronger than the strongest man on earth. I am called a beastly monster, but I am classified as a Level 9 Monster."

Erika, Walker, and Mikado looked at him and gasped. "You're a LEVEL 9 MONSTER! That's amazing, I am only Level 3 and Walker's only a Level 4," Erika said in awe. Shizuo kept walking as Mikado whispered fearfully, "I'm only a Level 6." "Come on where's the bathroom?" Shizuo asked anxiously. He needed to go pee now! "It's right over here! Step right up," replied Walker as they turned to corner and saw a white tiled doorway labeled restrooms. Mikado and Shizuo rushed in the male side as Walker and Erika laughed. "Did you see their faces?" asked Erika out of breath and Walker was already regaining his regular breathing.

He then whispered to Erika, who also was finally catching her breath as they waited outside the bathroom, "Erika have you ever met a freshmen who's Level was a 9?" "No," replied Erika, "Dota-chin's a Level 7, but he is a 3rd year. When he was a freshman he said he was only a Level 4." "It's crazy, this year's freshmen, you've heard of them haven't you? It's said that they have the highest Levels any freshman class has ever had in the school's history," said Walker observantly. Then they both heard the flush of toliets and sinks running shortly afterward.

Mikado came out first, followed by the blonde who's hands were in the pockets of his pajamas. Mikado was wearing blue feety pajamas and a blue sleeping cap on his head to match, while Shizuo wore black pajama pants with pockets and no shirt. On Shizuo's chest there were burn scars and a few scars that left trenches in his skin, but it was covered with the tattoo of a dove with a olive branch on his back. It was a beautiful black tattoo and Shizuo believed at the time would bring him peace. It didn't but he kept it to cover the disfiguring scars, plus it would be an absolute pain to remove it. The pain would be the time it would take to remove it, not the actually pain. He didn't feel much pain with the way his strong body reacted, it was dulled.

Walker and Erika then split up to show each of them their rooms. Mikado went with Walker, because the blonde fox was intimidated to be around Shizuo so Erika took Shizuo back to his room. It turned out, much to the blonde's anger, that he had started in the wrong direction. When thanked Erika and went into his dark private room he face palmed his head, sinking to the carpeted floor of the standard room. The freshman all started school tomorrow morning or rather today considering it was 4 in the morning and all, and he hadn't even gotten an ounce of sleep since he left for Rairabukuro 2 days ago.

Shizuo thought of the alien boy who was very kind, and smiled. The boy wasn't afraid of him at all, in fact no one was human. They were all misfits just like him. He had never had a friend before so he thought of shy little Mikado and the two odd otakus. Maybe he could actually have a friend here and not be afraid anymore. He was always so afraid of crushing someone or hurting anything that he had forgotten what it was like to talk to people and not run away. 'Friends...' Shizuo smiled as he fell asleep if only for a little while, and for the first time in a year, he slept soundly without a nightmare to stir him from his gifted slumber.
