Chapter 1: Long Black

"EAT SHIT AND DIIIEEE!"

Tsukune Aono yelled his war cry as he jumped off the railing from the second floor. He had his enchanted sword raised over his head and aimed it directly towards the head of the earth elemental below him. The massive monster was too busy making a mess of the already abandoned church, seemingly forgetting that it was fighting a young hunter just a few minutes ago. Earth elementals and its kind generally have the attention span of a goldfish and Tsukune took full advantage of that weakness and repositioned himself above his quarry and went in for the kill. It seems to have paid off as he impaled the top of monster's head with his blade, causing it to roar in pain.

"Got you now you big stupid bastard!" Tsukune proclaimed.

"Tsukune! You didn't get it's core. Feel around and stab it" said the young man who was a good 15 feet away from the battle.

"I know what I'm doing Ryuji. I got thi-WHOA!"

Without warning the wounded earth monster slammed it's back against one of the church walls and knocked it's attacker off its head. Tsukune crashed on top of some already brittle church seats and got the wind knocked out of him.

"Tsukune!" Ryuji called out and immediately began sprinting towards his brother, quickly closing the gap.

Tsukune was picking himself up groaning all the while, when he noticed that it suddenly got darker around him. He realized the reason why, when he looked up and saw a huge foot made of dirt, wood, and debris falling towards him. Before he could think of a way out of his predicament, Ryuji swiftly came into the picture with his own enchanted sword and sliced the leg off the monster, just above where it's knee would be.

The monster lost its balance, teetering on its one good leg for a few moments until gravity ultimately bested the beast and caused it to crash down on its back. Shortly after its fall, the beast started to crumbled until it only resembled a large mound of dirt.

Ryuji turned around and looked upon where the monster had been. "Well, looks like that fall finished it off somehow, huh." Ryuji then turned back to his younger brother and gave him a huge toothy smile and a thumbs up. "Good job lil' bro!"

However, Tsukune was anything but happy about his apparent victory and glared at his older brother with a sour look. "What the hell Ryuji! I said I got it!"

"Yeah, yeah I know, but that thing was about to flatten you. I couldn't just stand there and do nothing" Ryuji rebutted

Tsukune groaned "You do realize you just fucked my job, right"

"...did your camera catch me..."

"Of course it did!" Tsukune yelled, referring to the small camera attached to his jacket breast pocket.

Ryuji slightly looked away, rubbing the back of his neck with an embarrassed look on his face. "Okay, okay. I've clearly messed up here" Ryuji focused back on Tsukune. "I'm sorry... But hey don't worry, there's still plenty of jobs you can take on by yourself. And next time I promise I won't butt in"

"That's what you said last time" Tsukune grumbled.

"Uhh.. really?" Ryuji meekly responded

"Mm-hmm" Tsukune grumbled again, still glaring at his older brother.

"Ah well uhm….this time for real ok. Hunters honor, cross my heart, and swear to god and all that good stuff."

Tsukune just looked at him with an annoyed look and a small frown. "Hmph, sure"

"Hey come on lil' bro, I said I was sorry. It's not like I meant anything bad by it, I was just looking out for you" Ryuji whined to Tsukune as his little brother was walking away towards the church exit.

"EAT A DICK!" Tsukune yelled out

'Jeez, he must be really upset' Ryuji thought to himself. Ryuji quickly looked back at the once sentient pile of earth and called out to Tsukune. "Hey! Aren't you forgetting something"

Tsukune, already at the exit yelled back "Why don't you get it, might as well since you were the one who destroyed it"

"Don't be like that lil' bro. You did most of the work, I just finished it of-" SLAM! "... and he's gone" Ryuji mumbled to himself. He stood there in the middle of the desolate church in complete silence for a few seconds and then begrudgingly walked to the earth monster's corpse to retrieve the thing that his little brother forgot, proof of the bounty. Ryuji walked up to Tsukune's machete-katana, which he also forgot, and unsheathed it from the mound of dirt which was formerly the head of the beast. At the end of the blade was the core, sliced halfway through.

After he was done putting away the core, Ryuji exited the building, which was out in the middle of nowhere in the countryside, and headed towards his vehicle were Tsukune was waiting inside. The car wasn't anything special, a simple grey minivan. A solid car for a hunter, inconspicuous and can hold a lot of crap. The older brother hopped on to the driver seat and started her up. Tsukune was already getting himself comfortable in the passenger seat by pulling it back, ready to go to sleep, Ryuji couldn't blame him, it was already 4 in the morning. 'Perhaps he will cool off after he gets a good night's rest' Ryuji thought as he drove away from the church under the bright full moon.

VVVVV

Daybreak in the streets of Sotenbori, an old man is setting up shop in his cafe for another busy day. His clientele is small however. It's to be expected since his shop is a tiny one and is tucked away in the corner of a narrow, alley-like street. Because of this, the cafe owner, Nobukatsu Shinoda, is very familiar with all of his regulars. For example, Kotetsu Kita is one of his longtime customers, a salaryman with a wife and two kids. He's your average middle age Japanese man who comes by almost every morning before his daily commute. Then there is Masako Oya, an aspiring actress who has taken a liking to the quaint little coffee shop. She's an energetic little thing, Shinoda is always happy to see young people like her in his shop, they tend to liven the place up. And no other group of youngsters are more livelier than his most interesting regulars, the Aono brothers. Those two would come by with an exciting story or two to tell. It reminds Shinoda of his old hunter days.

Ding Ding

Well speak of the devils.

"Hey old man, how's it going?" Ryuji greeted Shinoda as he and Tsukune made their way to the bar.

"Hello there you two. It's been a while, thought maybe you boys left the country again." Shinoda replied while he was behind the bar and wiping it down.

"Nah, still haven't decided on where to go to next. There's still some more jobs for us to do here in the motherland anyways." Ryuji responded as he and his younger brother sat down at the bar.

"I see. The usual then"

"You know it"

As Shinoda was preparing Ryuji's coffee, he noticed Tsukune had a rather downcast expression. "Tsukune my boy, what's the matter? You look heartbroken. Was it a girl again?"

Tsukune winced "Wha- no that's not it! It's... something else" Tsukune muttered.

"It's about his last job, old man" Ryuji told the Shinoda. "It didn't go… the way he expected, to say the least"

"Hmph, that's one way to put it" Tsukune grumbled.

Ryuji sighed, then turned to look at Tsukune. "Look lil' bro, you still got plenty of chances and plenty of time. So listen, I swear I won't interfere on any job you want to take on next, ok."

"..."

Shinoda finished preparing the coffee and set it on the table. "Here you go Ryuji, a piping hot cup of long black, just the way you like it."

Ryuji picked up the cup and took a long, passionate sniff of the aroma it was giving off. "Mmm… thanks old man. It smells like a dream."

As Ryuji began savoring his drink, Shinoda turned to the younger brother on his left. "And how about you Tsukune, what would you like?"

"Uhm…. do you have any Monster left?"

Shinoda chuckled. "Yes I do" The old man turned around a reached in his cooler and brought out the black can with the distinctive green M. "I got a pack just for you" Shinoda said, putting the drink on the bar in front of Tsukune.

"Thanks Mr. Shinoda" Tsukune replied with a small smile.

"I don't know why you like that liquid garbage so much. I mean, doesn't that crap make your heart explode?" Ryuji jokingly commented while he was reaching into his pocket.

"... eh" Tsukune mumbled.

Ryuji stopped midway lighting up his cigarette. He was starting to get worried about his brother. Ryuji has never seen him this depressed before, Tsukune would have surely comeback with some snidey remark. 'I must've really screwed up this time' Ryuji thought.

The two brothers continued to sit at the coffee bar, enjoying their respective beverages. On most days the boys would cherish these moments of reprieve whenever they get the chance. Especially since there hasn't been many as of late. But today, for obvious reasons, was more quiet than most.

Ding Ding

"Good morning. Welcome to-" Shinoda stopped mid sentence as he noticed the strange figure at the door. It was a hooded man, dressed almost like a priest, with ominous, glowing eyes. Ryuji and Tsukune quickly noticed the mysterious man too, with the former slowly materializing his sidearm, a stainless steel Smith and Wesson revolver. Shinoda followed suit, as he slowly reached under the bar for his Wakizashi short sword.

"At ease gentlemen" the hooded man calmly, but firmly spoke. "I am not here to seek conflict"

Ryuji focused on the stranger, tightly gripping his weapon, but still having it lowered to his side. "Then do you mind telling us who you are"

"Not at all" the hooded man walked a little closer and raised his right hand towards his chest to refer to himself. "I am the headmaster of an institution known as Yokai academy, located in the monster realm"

"Uh.. I was… just asking for a name, but I guess that works too" Ryuji took a drag from his cigarette and exhaled. "So what's a monster principal like you doing in a humble little human shop like this?"

"I've traveled in search of a particular hunter in hopes that he or she will undertake a job that I am proposing"

"A monster hiring a hunter. Can't say that happens very often. So what's the job then?"

"It is a sensitive situation. Last year at the academy, a designer drug known as 'Euphoria' has circulated on school grounds. Many students have been found with the drug on their person or in their system. And unfortunately, we've already suffered a casualty when one of our students passed away due to an overdose. My staff and I have already concluded that the ones responsible for the smuggling and trafficking of this drug is amongst the student body"

Ryuji puts out his cigarette in the ashtray on the bar. "I see, so you want a hunter to infiltrate your school and find some snot nosed punk playing drug lord, huh"

"That is correct"

There was brief pause in the cafe. "You sure you want to hire a hunter for this job. I mean hunters are known for killing their mark"

The hooded headmaster gave off a subtle grin. "Oh, I am most definitely sure. You see, I am already fully aware of who you are Ryuji Aono, otherwise known as "The Dragon". And I also know that you are an agent of the International Hunter Organization"

Ryuji sat there on the stool for a moment and quickly dematerialized his revolver. "So how much are we talking?"

"Before we can continue" the hooded headmaster said. "I'm afraid we've already run into a complication"

"What do you mean"

"As I mentioned earlier, I am in search of a particular hunter. A hunter who can pose as a student and infiltrate the student run drug ring. From the information I gathered, 'The Dragon' was described as a young man, who appeared even younger than he actually was. However, and I mean no disrespect, you certainly wouldn't make for a convincing highschool student"

It's true. Ryuji is a grown man, already pushing 30, and enrolling to a high school as a student would definitely raise some eyebrows. 6'3, 195 pounds, muscular frame and a wethered, matured face. There is nothing remotely child-like in Ryuji's appearance.

"Pfft" Ryuji heard a stifled laugh that came from his brother sitting behind him.

"That creepy dude under the hood just called you old, bro" Tsukune gleefully said in between his snickering.

Ryuji chuckled. "Well, glad to see someone has stopped wallowing in their own misery".

"Hmph… still pissed at you, though"

"Uh-uh. You can't go back to being emo now. You thought that shit was funny"

"Yeah it was…. you old fuck"

"Hey! I'm not that old" Ryuji retorted, looking a bit hurt.

"Is that…. grey hairs I'm seeing on you head" Tsukune teased

"Oh shut the fuck up!"

"Boys!" Shinoda called out to them. "The guest?"

"Oh right" Ryuji turned his attention back to the hooded headmaster."Sorry about that, my baby brother can be a pain sometimes"

"Your baby brother?" The headmaster inquired

"Yes he's-"

"A hunter!" Tsukune cutted in. The younger brother hopped off his stool and walked up closer to the headmaster, right next to his brother. "And a damn good one at that"

The headmaster switched his attention to the younger brother. "Is that so?" The headmaster raised his hand to where his chin would be in a contemplative manner. "What is your name young man?"

"Tsukune Aono"

"Tsukune, what are you doing?" Ryuji whispered at him.

"Chill out old man, I got this" Tsukune dismissed his older brother. Tsukune resumed to address the headmaster. "So I hear your looking for a strapping young hunter, who can fight some bad guys, and save your school. Well look no further cause I'm your guy!"

"Tsukune!" Ryuji yelled angrily.

"What?"

"Interesting" the headmaster muttered to himself.

Ryuji got off his stool and walked closer to the headmaster. "Listen uhm.. Sir, just forget what my baby brother is saying, he doesn't know what he's talking about"

"FUCK OFF RYUJI!" Tsukune shouted. "I know exactly what I'm fucking talking about!"

Ryuji walked over to his little brother and grabbed him by both of his shoulders "Tsukune, knock it off! You got to realize that you're way in over your head here. This job is to dangerous for you to take on by yourself. You are not pre-"

Tsukune knocked Ryuji hands off his shoulders. "You promised!"

"Wh-what?"

Tsukune pointed his finger at his brother accusingly. "See! You already forgot! You just told me like 30 minutes ago that you wouldn't interfere on any job I wanted to take next"

"Uh.. well" Ryuji flustered "Maybe I should've clarified a bit"

"Oh, I see" Tsukune crossed arms and glanced away. "So you're just gonna fuck me over again then"

"Tsukune c'mon. This is different"

"How?"

"Well.. This job is too risky. You'll be going to the monster realm by yourself, surrounded by hostiles for who knows how long…"

"So you're saying I can't do it" Tsukune interrupted.

"I'm saying that you're not ready"

"... The hell with that!" Tsukune swiftly turned to the the headmaster. "Hey! Mister monster principal. I accept the job"

Right when the headmaster was about to respond, Ryuji cut in. "Tsukune, stop it! You can't go!"

"I don't give a shit. I'm taking this job and if you want to stop me, you're gonna have to physically do so"

"Wha- are you serious?! Are you really doing this right now?!"

"I'm dead serious" Tsukune replied evenly, looking directly into his older brother's eyes.

Ryuji scoffed. "You know I can easily stop you, right"

"I know you can. And when you do, just know that we're through"

Ryuji raised his eyebrow, a bit taken aback by what his younger brother said. "What do you mean 'we're through'?".

"It means that I'll leave and make it out on my own"

"Tsukune what are talking about? You're just a kid, you can't…"

"Oh don't give me that bullshit Ryuji, you know damn well I can take care of myself. Hell you taught me how for fuck's sake"

Ryuji leaned back against the bar and sighed deeply while closing his eyes and pinching the bridge of his nose. "Lil' bro what's with you? Why this job? Don't you realize that you're biting off more than you can chew "

"Dude, we're Hunters. That's what we do"

There was a moment of silence, Ryuji deep in thought about his decision. He can't simply ignore just how determined his brother is. As for the two bystanders in the coffee shop, Shinoda was quietly sipping a cup of coffee while the two boys were bickering. It wasn't the first time the old man has seen the Aono brothers go at each other's throats, but this time was certainly the most dramatic. The headmaster, however, was waiting patiently nearby, silently observing the two hunters.

Ryuji refocused on his brother. "Do you really think you can do this?"

"I don't think I can. I know I can" Tsukune replied with a confident half smile.

"Heh, you really shouldn't get so cocky lil' bro"

"Welp… I guess it runs in the family then"

Ryuji stifled a laugh. Guess he can't blame him.

Sensing that his brother wasn't fully convinced yet, Tsukune decided to continue to make his case. "C'mon Big bro. I'm a lot stronger than you think. You trained me after all"

"Pfft, flattery. You sure are tackling this at every angle, huh. You must really want to take this Job"

"Like I said, I'm dead serious. This job is perfect for me and the best opportunity to prove myself. Not just to the Hunter Organization, but to you too.

That took Ryuji by surprise.

Tsukune continued. "I'm not that little kid you rescued from the orphanage all those years ago…. I'm a hunter now. And that's all thanks to you"

Silence filled the room again. This time Ryuji kept eye contact with his brother. He realized what he's been doing all this time. He's been patronizing his younger brother, holding him back and worst of all, not believing in him. He felt great shame in that, he knows it was in good intentions but that still didn't excuse it. With that, he has made his decision.

Ryuji sighed deeply. "I really hope I don't regret this later"

VVVVV

It's not everyday that you see a blood red sea in the morning. It certainly does juxtapose the beautiful sunny day as well. Tsukune was taking in the scenery as it went by while he sat in the school bus and looked out the window, can't say he's ever seen a sea of blood before, something to cross off the bucket list at least. However, It isn't the first time that Tsukune has been to the monster realm. Years ago he and his brother came to this world on a job. The details of the job escapes him, but Tsukune does remember being absolutely scared shitless. Who could blame him, it was at the start of his hunter career, third job actually, and for someone so green to venture into the monster realm you'd naturally expect them to be overwhelmed. But now Tsukune isn't terrified anymore, he actually thinks the scenery looks a bit corny. The dead trees with crows perched on it's branches and the tombstones and scarecrows that line up next to the road, as well as the aforementioned bloody red sea makes the whole place feel very cliched.

"We're almost there" the bus driver proclaimed to the sole occupant of his vehicle. "You know kid, Yokai academy is a tough place, even for a hunter such as yourself".

Tsukune was a little surprised that the bus driver knew who he was, but then he quickly realized that the headmaster must have told him. He did set up everything for his job after all; his alias, his transfer, and transportation to the monster realm itself.

The bus came to a halt at what looked like a bus stop on a cliff facing towards the red sea. Tsukune picked up his school bag and made his down the aisle towards the exit. But right before he was about to step off the bus, the driver called out to him.

"Good luck out there kid" he said in a raspy voice. "You're gonna need it"

Tsukune looked back at the driver. Something about him unsettled Tsukune, perhaps it was his pupil-less eyes or his devious looking grin. Either way he's glad that drive is finally over, it felt like ages.

"...thanks" was all Tsukune said. He then touched down on the ground and watched the bus drive away.

Tsukune examined his surroundings, noticing nothing of note in his immediate vicinity besides a scarecrow with a jack-o-lantern for a head. Further from that was a road that lead in to a dead looking forest. The headmaster did tell him that the academy is at the end of this road and upon looking even further, he spotted said school in the distance. Tsukune has never seen a monster school before, but if he had to picture one it'd look something like what he was seeing. It had the appearance of a haunted mansion; a very gothic look. Now that he has seen his destination, Tsukune started his trek towards the school.

While he was walking on the road, Tsukune started to ruminate about the job he is on. He brought out his phone to look at the Intel he was given. He currently has the names and photographs of seven students, five males and two females. The headmaster believes that these seven are the likely suspects for the one who is responsible for distributing the drug called "Euphoria". That person goes under name "Nico" and Tsukune's mission objective is to capture or kill him/her.

Tsukune was surprised that the headmaster was allowing him to kill his mark, especially when you consider that the target is most definitely a teenager.

'The old man must be serious about his no drug policy' Tsukune thought. 'Well in any case, my priority is to capture. Hopefully it doesn't come down to assassination though. But first I need to decide how to approach this. I could make contact with each of the subject and see what I can learn from them. But that would take a some time, what with actually locating them and earning their trust'

"Aaaahhh! Look out!"

'Well I don't have to earn their trust, there are other methods. Hmm, maybe I should start with some snooping around. Ask some students if they heard anything about the drug, subtly of course. Euphoria is being sold to students, so I'm bound to find at least one customer. Yeah I think that's the best course of ac-'

CRASH!

Seemingly out of nowhere, a bike ran into Tsukune, throwing him onto the floor face first. Tsukune swiftly recovered however, thoughts going through his ranging from 'what the hell was that?!' to 'Stupid, stupid! Why did I distract myself while I was out in the open in the monster world. Fucking rookie mistake!'. But once he got a good look at what or more accurately who collided into him, he stopped thinking all together.

"Ow…I'm sorry. I'm anemic so I get a bit dizzy sometimes" said the the girl kneeling on the ground holding her head. She looked up and made eye contact with the boy in front of her. "Are you okay?" She asked.

Tsukune was stunned to say the the least. He was never any good with girls, specifically ones he was attracted to and right now he was looking at the most gorgeous girl he's ever seen. Petrified by her emerald green eyes and mesmerized by her long pink hair. Only one word came into his head "Wow".

The pink haired girl gasped as she took notice of something. "Oh my goodness, you're bleeding"

Sure enough, Tsukune did feel a warm liquid trickle down from his forehead. Must have been when he kissed the dirt floor a minute ago.

The pink haired girl pulled out a handkerchief. "Here, let me help". She then proceeded to crawl closer to Tsukune. Really close.

'Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit!' Tsukune internally screamed.

The girl began wiping his forehead, her

face mere inches away from his. Tsukune was starting to become a mess, his heart was beating like crazy, blood was rushing in all sorts of places, he was even starting to sweat.

'Goddamnit Tsukune! Chill the fuck out!' He mentally reprimanded himself. 'She's just a girl, quit freaking out!... Wait a minute no she's not! We're in the monster realm, so that means…'

"Ohhh… you smell really good" the girl moaned.

"...wh-what?" Tsukune stammered.

"Oh no, it's happening again…"

"Uhh.. What are you- wait, are does fangs?"

"I'm sorry, but you see…. I'm a vampire"

"Whoa! Hold on a minute!"

But it was too late, the girl quickly bit into his neck and began to presumably suck his blood. However, it only took a couple seconds for Tsukune to get over his shock and promptly put both hands on her shoulders and pulled her away.

"Hey! I don't remember giving you permission to suck my blood."

The vampire girl became wide eyed, put both of her hands over her mouth and stood up and began bowing over and over again.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" she cried. "It's just… whenever I smell blood, I can't help it. I lose control over myself"

Tsukune slowly stood up. Now out of his lovestruck shock and firmly into a new kind of shock. He tried to assess the situation. For one thing, he could feel the bite wasn't very deep and for the few seconds she was having him for breakfast, she was really gentle about it. Tsukune already knew firsthand what it feels like when a hostile vampire was really trying to suck you dry. And not to mention, the vampire girl definitely seemed ashamed for what she did, but then again Tsukune might've been more willing to believe her because of how pretty he thought she was.

"It's fine, it fine" Tsukune said to the vampire, gesturing her to calm down. "I'm still standing aren't I"

"Still…" the girl pouted, looking down on the ground trying to hide her reddened face. "I'm sorry for what I did. It was so incredibly rude to just bite into you like that"

"Seriously, it's okay alright. Apology accepted" Tsukune tried to reaffirm her. Tsukune rubbed where the girl bit him. "But seriously, the way you jumped on me was like as if you never had blood before"

The vampire girl slowly looked up at Tsukune. "Uhm, I actually haven't"

"Wha- really?"

"Well, I have had blood in transfusion bags, but never fresh blood from a living being before"

"...oh"

The girl began to fidget and blush. "And I must say, you tasted amazing"

Tsukune nervously chuckled. "Uhh.. You might want to rephrase that last bit"

"Huh, what do you mean?" The vampire girl asked looking confused.

"Well, it sounded like you..uhh… you know…"

The girl tilted her head slightly. "You know what?"

Tsukune sighed. "Nevermind"

"Oh! I see you're also wearing the school uniform" The vampire girl beamed. "Are you a student as well?"

"Yeah, that's right. First year"

"Wow! What a coincidence, so am I. Hey, we haven't introduced ourselves have we. My name is Moka Akashiya"

"I'm Tsuk- ahem, Akihisa Ikeda"

"It's nice to meet you, Akihisa" Moka replied with a big smile.

Tsukune managed to return small smile. "Likewise"

"Uhm… can I ask you a question Akihisa?"

"Sure, go ahead"

"What do you think about vampires? Do you dislike them"

That certainly wasn't the kind of question Tsukune expected. Truth be told, he has a bit of a mixed opinion on vampires and their ilk. But looking at the pink haired vampire girl in front of him who is anxiously awaiting his answer, he decided to tell her what she most likely wanted to hear.

"I think… they're pretty cool. I mean, they are one of the strongest monsters in the world"

Moka lit up with a smile, feeling relieved from his answer. She clasped her hands together. "That's good to hear! That means we can be friends!"

Tsukune raised an eyebrow. "You want to be friends?"

"Uh huh" Moka nodded, still smiling brightly.

Tsukune rubbed the back of neck "... We just met though"

"That's ok. I'm new to this school anyways, so I don't know anybody here. And I feel like I would have some trouble making friends because of who I am. But you said you like vampires, so I thought maybe we can be friends right away!" Moka exclaimed. However, her smile slowly faded away as her face soon got a little gloomier. "Unless… you don't want to be friends"

Tsukune couldn't help but feel his heart break for her. She even looked like she was about to cry.

Moka continued, fidgeting, while looking to the side avoiding eye contact. "I mean, I wouldn't blame you…. after what I did just a moment ago…"

Tsukune couldn't take it anymore. He had to cheer her up. "Hey, hey. It's okay. I said it was alright didn't I. That's ancient history now". Tsukune paused for a second, noticing Moka was slowly turning her head towards him. "I'll… love to be your friend" Tsukune assured her, while looking away, clearly flustered.

"Really!" Moka beamed, even brighter than before. "I'm so glad!".

"Yeah… me too" Tsukune said softly, half smiling.

Moka looked on ahead of the road they are on. "We should probably get going or we'll miss the ceremony". Moka began to pick up her bike that was tossed towards the side of the road. "Come on let's go!"

Tsukune took a look at the bike. "I'm pretty sure that's a one seater"

Moka giggled. "No silly, I'm asking you to walk with me. The school isn't that far from here"

"Ah right, of course…. silly me" Tsukune forced a smile.

The two began to walk together towards the academy in the distance, with Moka steering her bike next to her. Tsukune was still coming to terms with what just happened.

'What the fuck am I doing?'' Tsukune wondered. 'Oh well… guess I'll just roll with it'.
