Alright, even though I'm cocky about the fact that I can publish anything I want except for the hiatus materials, I promise that this will be the last thing I publish until Halloween, cross my heart and turn to dust... well, maybe Anyway, seeing as it's Halloween month, I decided that I would let my cowriter (she helps me write all of my stories… ALL of them) do most of the writing and I would sit on the back burner. The first chapter is courtesy of me Angel/Makayla and the rest will be hers, Makayla A. And her sister Angelique as well.

Makayla A. Hey guys! Guess this is my time to shine… hope I don't screw it up. Anyway, this is a horror suspense story so that we get more in practice with it. Unlike Blood Obsession and The Rebellion's Movement, this is an actual Alternate Universe fic. Hope you enjoy it!

Within the town of Monster Industries (*1), there was an abundance of exceptionally talented people. Actually, that's all there were was exceptionally talented people due to the large town being founded in order to help the gifted (people with traits not seen in normal human beings) control their powers and utilize them to help normal non-gifted human society. Monster Elementary School, Nosferatu Middle School and Youkai Academy (also known as Monster High (*2)) all work to teach their students (and their teachers as well) how to control their gifts and use them to further human advancement in the world or to simply help the current human society.

Within the walls of Youkai Academy, there were many mismatched teenagers thrown together and forced to work out their own problems with trying to fit in or stand out. Students were forbidden to show other students the full extent of their powers, lest it cause fights within the building, not that it stopped fights from breaking out, but this rule did reduce the number. Every day started out the same, played out the same and ended the same way. Like this:

Youkai Academy's doors opened at six in the morning and the first of the students there moved to their lockers easily. By seven in the morning, the buses had already begun to arrive, one in particular carrying a group of teenagers more interesting than most others at Youkai Academy. The bus stopped in front of the small forest in front of the school and the students were expected to walk through the forest to the school. Once there, depending on how early or late they were, they could either lounge in the halls or scramble for their classes.

Walking down the hall was Tsukune Aono, age sixteen, one of the richest kids in school. His family was said to own half the town and they lived in a large fancy mansion. He was currently crushing on one of the Akashiya twins, Omote, and his special power was outlined by his upbeat but somewhat ghoulish personality.

Moving through the hall, Tsukune nodded to his fellow classmates. As he was heading to his locker, he passed the three Shuzen sisters. Aqua and Kokoa seemed to be having another dispute that Kahlua was trying to resolve peacefully. Aqua Shuzen, age seventeen, was a shy girl from China and an excellent fighter. She was currently crushing on both Omote and Ura Akashiya. Her special power? She enjoyed the taste of blood and had extremely sharp teeth. She was commonly referred to as vampiric due to her love of licking her fingers after a bloody fight.

Kokoa Shuzen, the youngest of the sisters at age fifteen, was a rebellious tomboy. She was crushing on Ura Akashiya to the point of nearly being obsessed with her. Her special power was much the same as her sisters'; she enjoyed the taste of blood and had extremely sharp teeth. She was commonly called a vampire due to her love of battle and getting washed in blood each time she fights.

Kahlua Shuzen, easily the oldest, her age of eighteen showing easily due to her height, was considered shy and pure. She was a peacemaker, usually having to referee the disputes between her two younger sisters. She was majorly crushing on Miyabi Fujisaki. She was seen as a vampire because of her elegance and the unintended prideful way she held herself.

Dodging around the three sisters as Aqua and Kokoa leaped at each other's throats, Tsukune continued his way down the hall. There were several students making their way through the corridors or chatting in groups with their friends before school and Tsukune tried to get through without having to outright shove someone aside. Bumping into someone on his way through the throngs of students, Tsukune grunted and glanced up, spotting Saizo Komiya standing above him.

Saizo was sixteen-years-old just like Tsukune, but he was a rebel and number one lackey of the school's alpha male, Kuyou Oni. It was common knowledge that Saizo wanted all of the girls that were usually thronged around Tsukune (even the ones not fawning over him), which resulted in his jealous anger toward the ghoulish boy. His special power marked him to be related to Orcs due to his overly long tongue that could grow to lengths no one would have thought. He often used his tongue to molest the more vulnerable girls around the school. He had once tried on Omote Akashiya and had been met with a very angry Ura Akashiya kicking him across the lunchroom.

"Hey, Aono!" Saizo snarled, glaring down at the black-haired boy, the piercing in his lip twitching in agitation. "Watch where the hell you're going."

"My bad, Saizo." Tsukune apologized, trying to diffuse the situation as quickly as possible. I didn't see you through all these people."

"Yeah?" Saizo snapped. "Want me to give ya a reason to get some new glasses?"

"Calm down, Saizo." A voice called. The crowds parted as Kuyou Oni and his girlfriend Keito Kumo made their way through the crowds. Tall, blonde-haired Kuyou was eighteen years old and the undisputed alpha male of Youkai Academy. He often felt threatened by Tsukune and his group, but he let them slide most times. His affinity for not only an element (fire) but also an animal (foxes) suggested that he was a distant relative of the demon Kitsune.

Keito was seventeen and the fifth most popular girl in school, much to her ire. She was right behind the Akashiya Twins, Kurumu Kurono, Yukari Sendou and Mizore Shirayuki. She was usually followed, like right now, by three girls that seemed to swarm around her like bugs. Her special power was her tendency to use her eyes to hypnotize people that angered her (with the exception of the aforementioned five most popular girls in school and pretty much anyone else among Tsukune's large group of friends). It didn't help that her lackeys had an almost slave-like attachment to her, giving her the nickname "Spiderwoman (*3)" throughout the school.

"Aono said he didn't mean it." Kuyou went on, stopping in front of the pair. "Besides, he's got a point. Unless you're me, it's pretty hard to cut a crowd."

"You're forgetting that the Akashiya Twins can cut a crowd much better than you can, Kuyou." A calm voice snickered nearby. The quartet glanced over to Kiria Yoshi and Hokuto Kaneshiro standing not too far away. Both were sixteen and quite attractive looking. Kiria was very aloof and didn't take much of an interest in anything unless he himself deemed it interesting, usually with his own manipulative technique to make things play out the way he wished. Hokuto, though prideful, was still very friendly to his fellow classmates despite being adamant that he wasn't Tsukune's friend. Kiria's power was unknown, but Hokuto could transform parts of his body to enhance his strength and skill in battle.

"Excuse me?" Kuyou inquired, turning to the duo.

"You heard me." Kiria sighed, leaning against his boyfriend and Hokuto supporting him easily. "The Akashiya Twins don't cut a crowd, they part it. Everyone moves out of their way when it comes to them walking down the halls, especially when they're together.

Kuyou snarled angrily and made to retort, but another voice cut into the commotion. "You two aren't really going to fight again, are you?" The entire group turned to see Miyabi Fujisaki, Kiria's cousin, moving forward. Miyabi was eighteen years old, even more aloof than Kiria and, despite his high intelligence and cunning, was considered rebellious due to his lack of really caring what happened around him or the consequences of his actions. He would never admit it to anyone, but he had a small crush on Kahlua Shuzen, causing him to invite her to join him and his friends whenever possible. Due to his aloof attitude toward eating humans, he too was seen as one of the vampires.

"Great, what do you want, Fujisaki?" Kuyou snarled, his eyes flicking between the black-haired boy and the golden-haired Kiria. It was common knowledge that Kuyou came in third to Miyabi and Kiria, but the only reason the fox-gifted boy was seen as the alpha male was because the two cousins didn't care much for being heads of the school.

"Nothing." Miyabi snorted. "I just was coming over to see whether or not you were going to fight Kiria… again."

"Come on, you know your cousin and I are alright with each other." Kuyou said, covering his nervousness well.

While the standoff was underway, Tsukune took that time to slip away, leaving the three to their fun. Continuing on his way to his locker, Tsukune glanced around the halls for any familiar faces. Passing Fang-Fang Huang, his sister Ling-Ling, his best friend Xia-Ling Miao and Xia-Ling's younger sister, Routier, Tsukune waved to them all as Ruby rushed up to speak with Routier.

Fang-Fang was sixteen like Tsukune, but he was constantly under abuse from the females of Tsukune's group. His main goal was that he simply wanted to be friends with Tsukune. His inhuman speed and swordsmanship made him a formidable opponent in battle and he possessed excellent marksmanship when it came to striking.

Ling-Ling was a year older than her brother at seventeen. She was often called "Zombie" not only because of her somewhat dead personality, but also because of her ability to withstand most injuries dealt her. She was very protective of her brother despite the many jokes she played on him and tried to get him on good terms with the rest of Tsukune's group, who seemed to have taken to her fairly well.

Xia-Ling Miao was the same age as Fang-Fang and his best friend. He was aloof and calm in comparison to Fang-Fang's more nervous and bouncy nature. He was very protective of his little sister, Routier and didn't like it if she was hurt in any way. His power was much the same as Fang-Fang's leading the two to spar quite often with each other in order to better themselves.

Ruby Tojo was a seventeen-year-old witch, studying magic with Yukari Sendou whenever the pair had free time together. She was very into BDSM to the point of constantly begging her love fixation (i.e. Tsukune) to order her around.

Routier Miao was fifteen years old and very childish. Despite her crush on Fang-Fang, she would be a much better fit with Ruby since she was very into dominance and Ruby was a submissive person. Her headband covered a pair of horns atop her head, alluding to her affinity of an animal of sorts (*4).

Not too far up ahead, were the two presidents of Tsukune's favorite club and the head of the karate club. Ginei Morioka, age seventeen, was lecherous, protective of his friends and in love with San Otonashi. He was also a friendly rival with Haiji Miyamoto, the two acting somewhat like brothers to each other. His power heightened during the full moon, making him comparable to a werewolf.

San Otonashi, age eighteen, was struck dumb, causing her to use sign language and her trademark notebook to communicate. She was definitely a peacemaker among the group of friends and widely friendly to most everyone. Likewise, she returned Gin's feelings and was simply waiting patiently for him to ask her on a date. Her power really was special on account that the only thing she could use her mouth for was to sing, which caused any intention she wished to befall the intended listener. She was commonly known as "Siren" around the school thanks to this ability.

Haiji Miyamoto, seventeen, was very passionate about karate and was known as a lolicon. His love interest was actually torn, hilariously enough, between crushing on San Otonashi, Yukari Sendou and Kokoa Shuzen. His karate attacks were accompanied by a gust of wind, helping his attacks hit. His ancestry showed the ancient Crow Tengus in his line.

"Hey Gin." Tsukune called to them. "Hey Haiji, what's up, San?"

San gave a wave and a thumbs-up while Gin patted Tsukune's back. "Newspaper Club meeting tomorrow after school." He told the slightly shorter boy.

"You got it." Tsukune agreed. "I'll be there."

Finally coming to his locker without getting into yet another fight with Saizo or Kuyou, Tsukune began opening it. He had just finished twirling his combination lock when suddenly, he found himself in marshmallow hell. He had been tackled by none other than Kurumu Kurono. The sixteen-year-old was very popular around the school because of her bust size and she just so happened to be crushing on Tsukune, bringing out her protective side. Her special power was to cast a love charm on anyone she wished simply by getting them to look into her eyes for a prolonged amount of time as she concentrated on the charm. This had garnered her the nickname "Busty Succubus (*5)" around the school.

"Tsukune!" she giggled, hugging him tightly. "Did you miss me last night? It must be scary, all alone in that big empty mansion without the warmth of my body to comfort you."

"Back off, Kurumu!" a childish voice shouted. Moving into the open, a witch's silhouette came into view before materializing into Yukari Sendou. A thirteen-year-old that had skipped quite a few grades, Yukari practiced witchcraft with older student Ruby Tojo, the pair being the only known witches in the entire school. Yukari was also attracted to Tsukune, but much preferred Omote Akashiya on most occasions. "Tsukune's mine!" the little witch snarled, waving her heart-shaped wand and sending a golden washbasin onto the blue-haired girl's head.

"Dream on!" Kurumu sneered, glaring down at the younger girl. "Tsukune would much rather have someone with a fine bust to help accentuate her curves than a flat-chested little kid."

"Yes, a fine bust like mine." A soft monotonous voice half-agreed. "Not one that is overdone and saggy like yours." The trio turned to see Mizore Shirayuki standing on the other side of the locker, holding a knife made from ice. Known as a "Snow Woman" around the school for her preference of the cold to the heat, the sixteen-year-old purple haired girl was very possessive of Tsukune to the point of almost stalking him. Her nickname was also backed up by the fact that she could manipulate ice, which was how she usually got Kurumu to back off from Tsukune for a bit.

The three girls encircled Tsukune in their arms and began tugging at different parts of him, their eyes trained on each other rather than the boy being separated to pieces between them.

"Morning Tsukune!" Everyone turned and froze. There, walking down the hall, were the hottest and most popular girls in school: The Akashiya Twins.

Omote Akashiya, age sixteen, strode calmly down the hallway with a slight bounce to her step. She was shy and intelligent and a peacemaker among the group of friends. She returned the feelings Tsukune Aono had for her, but she was too nervous to let him know for certain that she liked him. Just like the Shuzen sisters and Miyabi Fujisaki, she enjoyed the taste of blood and had extremely sharp (albeit smaller than the others') teeth, but she wasn't interested in drinking blood like her sister and the Shuzens, preferring to drink tomato juice and blood packets. Just like the others, she was commonly referred to as vampiric, due to her drinking blood.

Beside her strode her albino twin sister.

Ura Akashiya was bold and outgoing and very protective of her twin sister. She was always ready for a good fight, which she usually had with Aqua Shuzen. Her love interest was torn between Aqua and Kokoa Shuzen (*6). Her special power was the same as her sister's and she had the second sharpest set of teeth in the school, right behind Miyabi. She was different than Aqua Shuzen in the fact that she would prefer simply fighting over tasting someone's blood. Unlike the others, she was referred to as vampiric due to her pale skin and red eyes, notably being traits of classic vampires.

Coming to Tsukune's locker, the pair gave two different looks to the girls hanging from the ghoul boy. Omote's green eyes turned slightly downcast as she tried to figure out a way to dissolve the problem without bringing pain upon herself. She tucked a strand of pink hair behind her ear nervously as she chewed her lip, hoping an answer would come to her soon. Ura, on the other hand, could have cared less about what Busty, Icy and Magical were doing with Ghoulish. She turned to her locker, which was to the right of Tsukune's and began retrieving the books needed for her classes that day, blowing a strand of silver hair from her face in the process.

Once her books were collected, she nudged her sister toward her own locker. Omote took the hint and moved to the left of Tsukune's locker where her own was located. Collecting her books as well, she said, "You had all better hurry or we're going to be late for Algebra. And you know how Miss Ririko gets."

That was enough to make them all scatter for their respective lockers, getting the supplies they needed and together they all made their way to class. School passed normally, everything exactly as it should be. The group attended their math class, Omote and Miss Ririko having their normal dispute over whether or not a problem was correctly answered until Ura stepped in and proved them both wrong as a means of diffusing the fight. Then it was off to English with Mr. Excellent. Omote and Ura both read back and forth to each other before Yukari and Ruby jumped in to join them, followed closely by Mizore and Kurumu with Tsukune and Ling-Ling being the last to join the reading and all of them reading in harmony with each other. After that came art with Miss Ishigami. She was slightly upset that Ura refused to model for her, but after Omote was nearly covered in clay when she modeled, Ishigami knew not to push.

During lunch, Omote glanced to Ura and gave the silver-haired girl a nod, passing the folder full of work to her sister. While Omote captivated the attention of the group, Ura snuck away to the copy machine, making two extra copies of the paperwork and slipping the copies into an unmarked folder. Returning to the lunchroom, she slipped both folders into the designated bookbags and went back to eating as if nothing had happened.

At the end of the day, the two girls went home and helped each other study, hearing the ever-constant whirring from their father's tools in the basement. The sisters helped each other finish up their homework before eating and heading up to their room, going to bed at their designated bed time. Before sliding into their separate beds, they each grasped the choker on the other's neck for a few seconds before letting go, a silent prayer.

Everything was as normal as it could be within the walls of Monster Industries. However, all of that was about to change with some news to come the very next day.

*1: Monster Industries comes from the Season Capu2, episode 6 "School Trip and a Vampire"

*2: If I have to explain my mini-obsession with Monster High, I may have to hurt someone

*3: No reference whatsoever to Spiderman

*4: Frankly, I think she was a demon like Kuyou, just don't know what kind
