"Eeee..." Gohan comically squealed as his eyes widened and his body lurched. A burning and painful sensation locked his body as he felt his blood slowly sucked out of him through the main artery of his neck. He had a sudden urge to throw the pink girl off his back who...somehow...was actually sucking his blood! The only problem, however, was that Gohan was in too much of a shock to do anything except to stare the distance in front of him with a gaping mouth and increasingly tired eyes.
"Mmmm..." the girl sounded as she subconsciously began drinking from this wonderful, yet unknown scent of blood which had slapped her in the face. Her eyes were closed, not yet aware that she had actually punctured into another person's neck.
The human boy, Tsukune, had legs shivering like a jackhammer as he watched his new friend just become food to what seemed like a real vampire! His thoughts were not on the safety of his friend though, it was instead of his own well-being.
I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die, the boy thought frantically, wishing he could move his legs to get away. His own fear paralyzed him though.
The blood sucking and cute pink girl stopped after a couple seconds as her whole entire body felt rejuvenated like never before. When she opened her eyes, she gasped in surprise to find herself on the back of a rather toned man as well as having drunk a complete stranger's blood!
...Yet somehow, she didn't feel as bad about it...
"Oh! I'm sorry! It's just that...you smelled so good...I...I couldn't resist...and...and...you have such delicious blood!" the girl's drawn apology turned more into a squealing compliment which would've been rather inappropriate to a person who had their blood drawn out.
Gohan continued to remain frozen as he stared out at the school in front of him like a zombie. There were a few students who glanced at him, slightly weirded out by the half-saiyan's pale appearance. Moka, still against the back of the half-saiyan, cocked her head as she worried she may have done damage worse than she thought...but the blood was sooo good though! Nothing like she ever tasted!
As Gohan's blood began its regular circulation and the his skin began returning it's normal color. Gohan slowly turned his head and glanced sharply towards the girl on his back with much disbelief.
"Wh-what the hell was that?" he raised his voice but more as a 'drained' man instead of one who is angry.
The girl lowered her head shyly, . "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done that, after all, you tried to help me. You see...I'm a vampire," she explained, emphasizing on what was clearly obvious to both of them.
Gohan still couldn't believe it...well actually, he could since the girl had indeed sucked his blood. No mistake about that. This was his first time though seeing a vampire and she didn't even look like what Gohan had in mind! He admitted she actually looked pretty cute, yet she had literally sucked his blood! Indeed, looks can be deceiving...
"Um...could you let me down?" the vampire asked, blushing a little.
Gohan's eyes widened as he forgot he was still carrying the now conscious and bubbly vampire. He slowly let the girl back down and promptly examine his neck where the vampire bit him. Surprise flooded the half-saiyan as he felt puncture had completely disappeared! It was as if he had never gotten bit!
Tsukune continued standing shocked after seeing his friend being bitten by a real vampire! It was clear that the boy was in no mood to get his blood sucked either.
"You two...probably hate me...and vampires. Don't worry, I understand if you want to hate me," the vampire said sadly as she watched the two boys reactions.
Gohan sighed as he started to rub his neck. While the puncture miraculously healed, it left a dull ache. Looking back at the vampire, he felt a bit sad for the girl. She seemed rather lonely and it wasn't because of her immediate appearance but rather, he could feel it. Despite her nature of needing blood, Gohan knew that this girl wasn't an bad person. There was no way he couldn't forgive anybody this sincere. Goku, his father, always gave chances to everybody.
"That's alright. I've been though worse...trust me," he explained giving her the best smile he could despite the ache that spread at his neck. It was a true statement indeed.
The girl seemed to shine, happy to be forgiven and not hated. Her eyes blinked as she saw a window of opportunity to possibly make her first friend.
"So um...does that mean we can be friends?" she asked shyly, looking down and shifting some of the dirt on the ground with her feet. It was a bit embarrassing to ask of something so straightforward. She couldn't help herself though...this may be the true chance she's been waiting for! She only hoped that the two boys would accept her as a friend.
Gohan blinked, a little surprised at how this situation turned out. He noted once more how cute she was despite her nature. The half-saiyan rubbed the back of his head, starting to feel embarrassed himself.
"Erm...sure...my name is Gohan, this is Tsukune..." he introduced, pointed at human who was still in frozen mode.
The vampire eyes widened with happiness...he...he was actually willing to be friends with a vampire!
She couldn't help but squealed and hug Gohan forwardly. She had a surprising strength that took Gohan slightly back. The girl was surprisingly strong...of course, he assumed that was because she wasn't human...
Speaking of which, it was a bit relieving to see that he wasn't the only non-human...or at least half-human to this school. He worried though about how the vampire had so easily revealed herself to him and Tsukune. That may have been because of the blood-sucking to which she had no choice but to reveal herself. It didn't look like that would happen again though and he would certainly keep the girl's true nature a secret. Nobody could know anyways with the current appearance of the girl.
"S-sorry, my name is Moka Akashiya by the way. I'm so happy to have you as a friend, Gohan-kun. I don't know anybody so I'm glad I have somebody to start talking to," she admitted looking into the eyes of the half-saiyan with gleaming eyes.
"Er...no problem," Gohan replied, blushing as he noticed the emerald colors of her eyes.
The vampire giggled with delight and then turned to Tsukune whom she had almost forgotten in the excitement of gaining one new friend. Once again, she acted undeniably shy again.
"You're Tsukune right? Um...do you mind being friends with me too?" she asked, hoping to gain another friend. She noticed that this one seemed a lot more afraid of her than Gohan. This made her worry considerably though she knew that it wouldn't be all bad since Gohan had at least accepted her.
Then...Tsukune's brain hit a switch. All the fear and shock began to drain away as he stared at the cute vampire in front of him.
Too kawaii, he thought in a trance as he stared at the concerned pink-haired girl that was waiting for his reply.
"S-sure," he responded, stuttering a little. He certainly wasn't going to say no even if the girl appeared dangerous. She didn't seem to be a bad person...or at least the vampire he had in mind. Besides, if Gohan had accepted her like that, why shouldn't he?
Just don't suck my blood... he added in thought.
"Really! Arigato!" She thanked, suddenly hugging Tsukune to the ground.
Tsukune turned beat red as he felt Moka's "assets" push against his own chest. The human boy could die happily like this, but he wasn't sure if he should be excited or scared that a vampire was on top of him.
Luckily, the vampire quickly got off Tsukune, happy to already made two new friends. "Gohan-kun, Tsukune-kun, I hope we have classes together! I have to get back my bike now, cya!" she waved away as she ran quickly back into the woods.
As the vampire left, Gohan and Tsukune looked on, contemplating as to what had just happened. They had just made another friend...and somehow, a vampire was attending high school...
"Gohan...did we...just meet a real vampire?" Tsukune asked.
Gohan thought about it. "Well...there's no doubt," he replied, rubbing his neck almost wondering if he was searching the wrong area. He still was wondering why he didn't feel any bite marks.
The school bell rang and the guys realized that they were already late to their class. The two boys froze, surprised at how the incident had made them end up late.
"Crap!" Tsukune yelled as he rushed ahead with the half-saiyan following moderately.
As they were running to look for their homeroom, they quickly realized they had the same exact homeroom which surprised them both but made things a lot more comfortable since they had just got to know each other.
"Ah I think this is our homeroom! Hopefully we won't get penalized for being late on the first day, right?" Tsukune pointed looked at the numbered door to reconfirm their destination.
Gohan nodded but being penalized wasn't on his mind after the incident today. He couldn't help but wonder how a vampire was enrolled at a regular high school...but then again, he had also enrolled and he wasn't exactly human either...
As the half-saiyan took initiative to open the door, he failed to realize that his heart was pumping a little faster than normally after running and being bitten by a vampire. It was hardly something he would notice, but it would have an effect in the awareness of his surroundings...
With this in mind...Gohan broke the door-knob like butter as he grabbed hold of it to enter. A loud clink sounded while the door flung open. He froze, instantly aware of his mistake and was immediately put into the spotlight as the perpetrator of breaking part of the entrance. His hand holding the door-knob began to sweat as if it had commited a crime.
Gohan face flushed. The day couldn't possibly get any worse. So much for trying to act normal...
All the students including Tsukune stared at him in surprise as they saw the doorknob in his sweating hand. It wasn't long before the class busted out laughing. Gohan turned even more red and lowered his head in shame. Certainly this day couldn't have get any worse, right?
"Mew?" the teacher responded as her head cocked and her hair suddenly flapped like cat ears. Gohan's eyes widened and shook his head quickly thinking he was possibly a little delusional after the blood-sucking incident.
Gohan heard somebody cough, "Idiot..."
Gohan sweat dropped and gave his new teacher his schedule. "Oh? That was a fantastic entrance you made! I'm glad I have you in my class. Mew! My name is Miss. Nekonome," she greeted. Miss. Nekonome had to be the most enthusiastic teacher out of all of the homeroom teachers. She liked each and every student in their own way...even people who rip doorknobs out of doors too; however, that didn't make Gohan feel any better.
"Don't worry about the door handle since it was probably already falling apart. Your seat is over on that side," she pointed to which Gohan sheepishly walked towards and sat down admist snickering. This definitely had to be the worst day ever for the half-human.
Tsukune came in after him feeling a little sympathetic for Gohan to have his first unwanted spotlight in addition to getting his blood sucked. Without a word, he gave his schedule to the homeroom teacher.
Gohan sighed with a frown of disappointment and looked out towards the windows as he thought of his day so far. He will need to keep his strength to a minimum if he didn't want to bring too much attention to himself like he already done.
As soon as Tsukune was pointed to his seat which was coincidentally behind Gohan, Miss Nekonome looked around her classroom and notice one person was missing. Before she could ask, a pink haired girl entered the classroom in a rush, panting.
"Gomenesai! I'm sorry I was late," Moka apologized as she bowed respectfully toward the homeroom teacher. Suddenly all the boys stood up from their seats, gaping as they saw the beautiful girl. Miss Nekonome tried to settle down the guys but with little results.
"So kawaii..."
"So beautiful..."
"I want to embrace her!"
"Me too!"
"I'll definitely find a way in..er I mean to her!"
"Are you single?"
Moka looked around the classroom, feeling uncomfortable as the boys became restless. Then she spotted Gohan and Tsukune at the side of the classroom. Suddenly she became oblivious to every eye that was on her as she rushed over to the two boys.
"Gohan-kun! Tsukune-kun!" she yelled leaping off the floor and first hugging Gohan, completely surprising him from his train of thought. All the rest of the boys quickly went silent and their admiration turned to hate towards the half-saiyan. Gohan's awareness raised as he looked around him and felt more hate than he ever felt before. All the killing eyes were on Gohan. So much for drawing unwanted attention...Could this day get any worse?
"Um...Moka, you're making a scene," Gohan whispered, embarrassed. Moka looked at Gohan confusingly.
"What? You two are my best friends right? It's okay to hug and love a friend!" she reasoned, smiling causing Gohan to feel a bit worried. He glance around the room and saw all the boys growl with contempt written on their faces. This was bad...
Moka turned to Tsukune and was ready to give him a quick hug too. After Tsukune saw the hateful eyes towards Gohan, he knew that if she hugged him, he would surely die...and if he rejected her...he would surely die as well...
Oh no...this...this isn't good! Crap! Tsukune thought, I really am going to die either way!
As soon as Moka hugged Tsukune tightly, all his fears went away and only enjoyed Moka's embrace. It was official! The two boys were now on the Yokai hit-list!
Great, Gohan thought, This is not what I had in mind...
"Um Moka, would you please take a seat," Miss Nekonome asked, politely.
"Hai!" she replied enthusiastically and went to take her seat not too far from Tsukune and Gohan. The hateful eyes were still on Gohan and Tsukune, but slowly died down as Miss Nekonome began talking.
"So, welcome to Youkai Academy everyone!" she greeted enthusiastically as usual.
"Before we all introduce yourself, let's take a look at the rules!" she pointed at three rules on the chalkboard. "As you all know, this is a school for monsters. That means everyone of you are in some shape or form is a monster. The goal of this great school is to be able to co-exist with humans peacefully," she began.
Tsukune was starting to feel queasy in the stomach as well as Gohan. The way the teacher was explaining nonchalantly and as a statement of fact only asserted what was beginning to make sense.
This has to be a joke, Gohan and Tsukune thought at the same time. Tsukune glanced over to Gohan's side unaware that the half-saiyan felt as surprised as he did.
Miss Nekonome continued. "...In order to be able to reach that goal, there are three main important rules of this school. One! Students are forbidden to reveal to each other what they are...Two! Students should stay in their human form without exception...and finally, three! Any act of fighting on this campus between each other is strictly prohibited."
Tsukune froze, suddenly terrified. He didn't want to believe it but after becoming friends with a vampire, it was hard not to believe. E-everybody is...a m-monster!What kind of place did I get myself into! Tsukune screamed inside his head.
Gohan himself couldn't believe that such a school truly existed. Everything he felt now made sense. The monsters had everything compressed to a human form. That's why if felt so weird. He would have to try finding a way out of this school before he becomes discovered. He didn't want to do something he would regret later on; however, there was one problem that bothered Gohan if he managed to return back home...
[Gohan Imagining]
"You! I can't believe my brightest son dropped out of high school! You!...you have no idea how you're mother feels. You should be ashamed of yourself!" ChiChi sobbed while the half-saiyan attempted to creep away.
Suddenly her mood changed dramatically. "WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING, HUH?" she demanded holding up her frying pan of doom.
"M-mom, Gomen!...but y-you have to understand! It was a school for monsters!"
"NO EXCUSES! I'M GOING TO BEAT SOME SENSE INTO YOU NOW!"
Suddenly her frying pan grew tenfold!
Gohan could only watch in horror as he would receive his first frying pan beating. Suddenly, Goku appeared out of nowhere to take the blow and ChiChi faded into the distance.
"Ow!...jeez, ChiChi is really going to be mad at you. Trust me...don't leave that academy if you know what's good for you...besides...when have you ever not been able to deal with monsters? My son never gets scared like that!" Goku explained.
"Dad..." Gohan blinked suddenly confused. "...wait, why are you here anyways?"
Goku put his hands on his chin as he thought. "Well...to convince you to stay. But anyways, I'm just a figment of your imagination! You should know all of this, my son..."
[Gohan back to reality]
Gohan sighed. There's really no going back at all. I can't... he thought and glanced at Tsukune.
Does that means Tsukune is a monster too?...damn it! I can't tell what's compressed and what's not anymore! It's all too confusing...
Gohan could only try to blend in and keep a low profile though that was seeming difficult to do. Since he wasn't completely human, it seemed he could do alright but he wanted to avoid fights...his mother would kill him if she knew about it...
Suddenly a rugged, punk-like voice rose up. "Oy teacher! Wouldn't it be better to eat those rotten humans...and molest the pretty girls huh?"
Miss Nekonome perked up and looked in the student records. "Mew? Oh...you are Saizou Komiya? Well to reply to your suggestion, there shouldn't be any humans around this school. This school is protected by a special barrier that disallows access for humans. Now...if theoretically, a human did enroll in this school and was found out, the penalty would be...death," she explained in a happy, yet defining tone.
Tsukune's eyes widened as he began sweating like a sauna. D-d-death! What happened to 'co-existing'!
Gohan couldn't help but glance over at Saizou with a hint of disgust.
How can he think like that?, he thought. It made the half-saiyan a little angry to see attitudes such as him who took nothing for consideration. It just wasn't right. The punk caught his stare and stared back at him menacingly.
"Huh? What are you staring at? Door-knob-breaker?" he bellowed smirked. The whole class except Tsukune and Moka were laughing.
Gohan didn't like him. He was the type of monster Gohan could not bear to be with. After fighting many monsters, Frieza...Cell...Bojack...Cooler...who had no sympathy for humans, much less any race's life. It made him too angry.
Gohan quickly turned away from him, trying to calming himself down. If this kept up, there would be no way he could avoid fighting and keep a low profile. He had to compose himself!
Tsukune gulped as he saw Gohan's face full of frustration and confusion. He wondered if Gohan was human like him...or actually a monster like Moka. In either case, what should he as a human do if he wasn't supposed to be here!
I hope Gohan and Moka will understand me if they knew I was human...I hope... Tsukune thought with an overwhelming amount of fear. He had to get out of this academy even if it seemed that he already made two friends. The risk in staying was far worse than anything he would be gaining...
That's what he thought at least...
