It is a dark and stormy night, lightning crashes outside the entranceway to a morgue-like building. Two men are standing there, one shrouded in silken robes, the other wearing standard Japanese school clothing.

"Keiryuu, i have an assignment for you. Since you are graduating, you are the only one i can trust with this task from my inner circle."

"Whatever you give me, i will follow the orders until i die."

"Just what i was hoping for. You're assignment..."

"So, are you getting on or not?" asked the bus-driver.

The dazed human boy gradually comes together and rushes on the bus to find only two other people on it, both of them sitting near the far back.

"Hi, I'm Aono Tsukune. Are you two going to Youkai Academy as well?" asked Tsukune.

"You bet your ass we are, this is the only school i would be accepted into anyways!" replied the one on the left, a boy of 15 with pure white hair with clothing just as white.

"What he said, only i am here to perform at the best academy around!" replied the energetic redheaded boy on the right. He looked tall for his age, as Tsukune observed, and carried a bit of a power-filled feeling.

"That sounds good, I'm here because i couldn't get into any other high school without repeating a grade..." sighed Tsukune.

"Hmm... You seem interesting enough; I'm Akiya Ryu. You can call me Kei ^^." the cheery redhead declared.

"And i am Yutsuki Matoshi... now let me go back to reading..." the chill guy said while flipping his book to the next page.

"Nice to meet you" Tsukune proclaimed as he reached his hand out to shake with Ryu.

"Uh, not to wise of an idea, you might get burned," warned Ryu.

"Huh, what do you mean? How could I get burned, I see no flammable objects here." Tsukune observed.

"Haha, just touching me would burn you, i am a skilled fire user, and my friend here is an expert ice master from the same mountain range as i am." Ryu explained.

"Wha-what do you mean, like a circus?" questioned the slightly frightened Tsukune.

"No, these gentlemen are demons, monsters, whatever you want to call them. Youkai academy, or monster academy, was built by monsters, for monsters, and to teach the monsters. This school is a school for monsters." the bus driver explained with an evil look in his eye like he always has.

"You-you've GOT to be joking, right? RIGHT!!?" the frightened Tsukune peeved.

"no, no we are not, just take a look around you. While we were talking, we arrived at school. Follow us to your dormitory area, it should be safer for a human to walk with us," grinned Ryu.

As the trio was walking, talking, and slowly becoming friends, Tsukune gets hit with a bike in the back, and the bike backlashes to slam into Ryu and Matoshi as well.

"AH FUCK!!!!" Ryu screamed as falling on top of Matoshi, both faceplanting into the ground while Tsukune has his hand on Mokas thigh. As Moka releases a small moan of pleasure, Tsukune realizes where he is and what he is doing then quickly pulls away while apologizing.

"Dumbass…" Ryu declares while palming himself in the face and sighing.

"Are, are you hurt at all? OH, you're bleeding! Let me administer first aid immediately!" Moka declares while scrambling to her feet. As she attempts to administer first aid, she sniffs the blood.

"So sorry, but I can't resist, I'm a vampire, capu-chu!" Moka exclaims as she bites into Tsukune's neck, around the area of the wound. After a couple of seconds sucking, Tsukune realizes what just happened and freaks out.

"So… SO MONSTERS ARE REAL!!!!" Tsukune screams.

"Do, do you hate vampires?" asked Moka, making Tsukune blush with her natural charm.

"Uh, no. If they are solitary creatures, I think it would be cool to meet one," Tsukune answers with a smile to which Moka abruptly tackle-hugs him.

"Thank you!!! I've never had a single friend before I met you. I'm Akashiya Moka, pleased to meet you ^^."

"And I'm Aono Tsukune, and I am happy to be your friend, seeing as we are both freshman."

Stare….

"ACK!!! Who are you?" Moka asks while holding Tsukune tightly.

"Psh, we're just the other two people that were in the accident, also the friends of Tsukune-san…" replies the now bitter Matoshi.

"I-I'm so sorry!" Moka declares while bowing, "But will you also be my friends?"

"Sure thing WE'LL," Ryu jabs Matoshi while on this word, "become your friends, right alongside Tsukune," the joyous Ryu exclaimed, full of energy as usual.

And with that, the four of them walked off to Youkai Academy together, with the bus driver watching over them. Who is this strange Keiryuu? What are the secrets of the Academy? And more importantly, what awaits our heroes in the future? Only time will tell, here at the Monster Academy, where the Demon Within is waiting to be released…
