Mage + Vampire II

Chapter 1

Festive return

Janus and the others were on the Youkai academy bus returning to the academy. Janus looked out the window as Youkai academy came into view. Moka looked at her Mage/Vampire Boyfriend with interest "Janus, If you went here to hide in order to keep Hanaiou sealed, Why did you desire to return here?" she asked curiously

Janus looked at her, "Partially to be with my friends, and the fact that it is the wizard's duty to help his fellow people, be it Youkai, or Human, and plus I've never had a school education and I found it interesting." Explained the Dragon Mage

"You never had a school education?!" asked Kurumu astounded

Janus shook his head "I was taught how to read and write by my father, and trained in magick by my Mother and Duel monsters by my Uncle, My family are a very close knit group, both my direct and extended family live in a compound in a hidden valley." Explained Janus

"But weren't you trained by Lord Oberon?" asked Yukari

"Yes I was, until recently." Replied Janus as he looked down at the ring Oberon had given him signifying him as now a journeyman wizard.

Moka caught this and nuzzled up against him "You will make a fine wizard." She said placing her hand on his.

"Well, here we are." Said the bus driver as he pulled up to the bus stop Janus and the others got off and headed for the school. As they headed up to the building Mrs. Nekonome hurried up to them

"Janus, the Chairman wants to see you and you friends now." She said with her usual smile.

Janus nodded and he and the others trudged the familiar path to the house where the Headmaster lived and entered his office. "Ah if it isn't the heroic mage and his Harem." Said the headmaster with his usual creepy laugh. "Yes, I saw that duel with you and Hanaiou, You did better than anyone could've done, and thanks to your courage in the face of such evil, Hanaiou is sealed hopefully for good." Said the exorcist

"Now that Hanaiou is sealed within his own deck, what will become of him?" asked Kurumu

"The Dragonwing family have a safe deposit box in a Swiss bank, they have the best security in the world, they key is designed so it is impossible to replicate, and the key alone isn't enough, a specific account number is required and it is known only to the account holder, which is Janus's father, Alonzo, and knowing him, it would be impossible to get the number from him, Hanaiou's deck is placed in that box under the bank's protection, though the Dragon wing family placed their box with their own protective wards too." Said the Headmaster.

"With protection like that, Hanaiou's not going to be returning any time soon." Said Moka with relief. "Anyway, the school festival is starting soon and you haven't given any Ideas as to what your class is to do, and Your class is starting soon so you'd best get at it." He said gesturing for them to leave

Janus bowed respectfully and left with the others. "Okay class." Said Mrs. Nekonome as they sat down "What should we do for our event at the festival?" She asked with her smile beaming.

"Costume contest?" suggested one

"No good, senior class d had already but in for that one." Said the class rep.

"What about a duct tape sculpture contest?" asked one

After a few suggestions such as making octopus dumplings and a shooting gallery, Mrs. Nekonome looked down at Mizore who was drawing chibi versions of her and Janus in bed together in her Diary "Do you have an Idea Mizore?" she asked

Mizore looked up from her diary to the teacher then to Janus who had taken a swig of PowerAde to keep himself awake, blushed and said "How about a duel Tournament? Like people dueling for the chance to duel Janus for the title of Youkai Academy Duel King, seeing as Janus is the best duelist in the school, people would want a chance to face him." Suggested Mizore

"Was somebody talking about me?" asked Janus, everybody stared at him "What?" he asked looking at everybody

"That doesn't sound like a bad idea," said one girl

"I've never gotten a chance to duel Janus since he disappeared for a few days due to something he won't talk about." Said one hulking dude.

"Duel? Me? When?" asked Janus Pulling out his duel disk from his bag and strapping it to his arm.

AFTER CLASS…

"Weren't you listening in class?" asked Moka astounded as they headed to the next class

"I only listen if it's something to do with the subject the class is about, everything else goes in one ear and out the other." Said Janus shrugging as he adjusted his bag on his shoulder

"So you don't know that the whole class has elected to do a duel tournament for the chance to duel you for the crown of Youkai Academy duel king?" asked Kurumu tailing behind.

"Hey, after class, Mrs. Nekonome promised me free food while I watch the tournament from a throne, so I'm not complaining." Replied Janus simply

"You're only entering for the food?!" exclaimed both girls astounded

"But you could loose your title as Youkai Duelist King!" exclaimed Moka

"An unofficial school title means nothing to me, where the real titles lie are in the gatherings." Said Janus with a smirk

"Gatherings?" asked Mizore coming out of nowhere

"Yeah, the Harvest Gatherings, every year around this time, The Mage families gather in the Farming fields to tend harvest the Crops that we raise for those who need them the most such as third-world countries, oppressed people who have little food, and the like, It started out as just a five-week gathering at the fields around the middle ages where it was just the people 15 and over went out into the fields to pick the Crops which were to be delivered after they were processed and some games for the younger people, however as the centuries moved on, there were feasts added, then Musicians started showing up when one of the families kids had formed a folk music group and played at the festival which was such a success they brought them back and others with musical talent were encouraged to play at the gathering, then Merchants who made magickal goods stared setting up stalls to promote their wares, and recently with the advent of dueling there were regular Duel Tournaments held, so it has become pretty much a festival of sorts." Explained Janus

Moka and the others stared in wonder "And You've won these Tournaments?" asked Moka

Janus nodded "Undefeated for six years." Said Janus with a smile "But anyhow, We'd best focus on the task at hand such as the tournament here so I'd best get my deck ready." Said Janus and he went off because classes were canceled due to the festival to prepare for.

Hope you enjoyed this and I still offer Youkai Grimoire services, until next time may you blessed be...
