Test 1: Yokai Academy
The bus cruised down the winding streets of Tokyo, Japan. It was a pleasantly warm day, birds singing, children eating ice cream, and a nearby lake shimmered in the sunlight.
Skye enjoyed the world outside the bus, even if it was the world of humans. She had lived among humans her whole life and found them amusing and not terrifying like other monsters thought. She watched this world pass by through the window. Sakura trees passed by her window in a pink blur.
How long have I been on this bus, she wondered. She unzipped her suitcase and grabbed her cell phone. Her chibi bat charm smiled happily at her while it swung from a string.
"Oh, only a half an hour," she mumbled then placed her phone back in her suitcase.
Skye glanced around the bus. She was on the left side, just four seats away from the front. There was only on other person on the bus, and he was all the way in the front, on the right side. The boy stared out the window calmly, sort of dazed. He had short brown hair and pale skin, his eyes a chocolate brown. He must've been a sophomore or something. He definitely was a year older than Skye.
"A letter from a friend, boy?" the bus driver asked.
A letter? Skye didn't see a letter.
"Y-Yes, sir, why do you ask?" the boy said nervously.
Skye stared at the bus driver. He was kind of creepy with round glowing eyes and a cigar in his mouth. His wide grin showed slightly jagged teeth, which creeped Skye out even more. The boy seemed creeped out about the bus driver too.
The bus driver was quiet. He didn't even bother to answer the boy's question.
Then the bus suddenly entered a tunnel.
A vortex of different colors swirled around the bus. The boy has seen this mysterious tunnel that leads to the monster world before, so he wasn't quite surprised. Skye, on the other hand, was mystified. She had never seen such a beautiful display of colors.
"You better keep your guard up," the bus driver said, snapping Skye back to reality. They boy watched the bus driver quizzically.
"Or it could cost you your life." The creepy driver turned towards Skye and the boy, his eyes glowing blank.
"They fixed up the Yokai Academy buildings, but it's still the same school!"
The bus then drove through a flash of light.
The boy and Skye walked off the bus with their bags. The boy watched as the bus drove away while Skye looked at the scene around her. Dead trees surrounded a long narrow walkway leading to the school. Near a tall dead willow was a scare crow like thing, with a pumpkin for a head and a cape. There was a long paper attached to the front that read "Bus Schedule." Skye really didn't pay attention to the schedule.
Skye turned and saw the boy walking down the narrow pathway. Should I follow him, she asked herself. She watched the crows fly from the tree, then she started after the boy.
"Wait up," she called.
They boy turned and smiled. "You're that girl from the bus."
"Yeah, my name's Skye Kimiko."
"Tsukune Aono," he said extending his hand.
Skye shook his hand and they continued walking. Tsukune held the letter closely to his heart. I can't wait to see everyone again, he thought. Especially Moka.
"So you're a sophomore?" Skye asked to relieve the silence. "Yup. That's why the bus driver knows me."
Skye frowned. "He didn't seem to know you."
Tsukune smiled and said,"Oh, but he does. He helped my friends and I a lot last year."
"Interesting."
They continued walking along the trail in silence. They eventually came up to the school, only to find a small group of people yelling.
Tsukune searched among the group to hopefully find any familiar faces. Then he saw a flash of pink, and his eyes lit up, filled with excitement and happiness.
"Moka?"
Moka Akashiya turned around gracefully, her long pink hair flowing in the breeze.
"Tsu... Tsukune?"
Skye stood a few feet to Tsukune's right, watching the scene unfold. The girl, Moka, smiled happily at Tsukune.
Either that's his girlfriend, or a really close friend, Skye thought.
The two talked for a moment, then a little girl came up out of nowhere and started talking to them. She was wearing a witch costume. It's not even Halloween, Skye thought. Maybe she is a witch?
Yukari Sendo stared up at Tsukune, her pointed hat slightly blocking her vision. Oh, Tsukune, she thought, it's so good to see you, and Moka again. Yukari's thoughts were scattered by a loud noise.
"Hey! Tsukune!"
Moka, Yukari, Tsukune, and Skye turned and saw Kurumu Kurono charging down the path. Within seconds, her arms were wrapped around Tsukune, her grip pulling him into one of her smothering hugs.
"I missed you so much," Kurumu shouted while tightening her hug.
Moka, Yukari, and Skye stared in surprise and annoyance. Moka and Yukari were use to their friend smothering Tsukune, so it was never a surprise to them. But Skye has never seen anything like that happen before. Not ever. Monster women must be more flirtatious than human women, she thought.
Tsukune struggled against Kurumu's hug. He knew that at any moment, he would pass out from lack of air to his lungs. Suddenly a kunai rammed into Kurumu's forehead. Blood splirted out from the wound as the kunai melted away.
"Keep your distance, Kurumu. Tsukune is my turf."
Tsukune looked to his left and saw Mizore Shirayuki squatting behind a bush, holding another kunai.
"It's been a while, Tsukune," she said.
"Um... How long have you been behind that bush?" Tsukune looked at Skye. She was even more confused than Tsukune.
"Who're all these girls?" Skye asked him.
"My friends," he said almost nervously.
Kurumu's eyes flared with anger as she took a fighting stance.
"How dare you come between me and my Tsukune?"
Mizore locked her wrists together in front of her face. Her fingers grew long and cold, her normal fighting weapons.
"Bring it on, Balloon Girl! Give me an excuse to reduce the competition."
Tsukune and Skye stood between the two arguing girls, holding out their arms in protest as Moka and Yukari stood back and watched.
"Hold it guys," Tsukune said. "Let's not fight on our first day back."
"He's right!" Skye cut in, trying to help. "Can't you hold off on the fighting?"
"Who's this?" Kurumu said eyeing Skye.
"You got anotherone?" Mizore said to Tsukune.
Another what, Skye asked herself.
"Never mind her," Kurumu yelled. "You're so dead, Mizore!"
They both lunged forward.
Tsukune panicked and pushed Skye out of their way. The two girls clashed as Skye landed on the ground. Tsukune screamed as a kunai slashed his forehead.
"Oops," Kurumu and Mizore said.
Well, I hope you've enjoyed this first chapter! This story basically takes place during Rosario+Vampire Season II in the manga. I just added my OC character into it and a few other characters. This makes the story a whole lot more fun! Plus I've added my own things in there too. For example, later on you'll hear another character talking about "Vampire Classes". This is something I've made up. And not to mention "The Heroes" thing. That is also made up. So please, I hope you enjoy this story! You won't believe what happens next! ^^
