Rosario + Phantom : Rosario to Phantom
-Chapter 2-
Settling In
I narrowed my eyes. "How does EVERYONE know my name?"
"You're wearing a name tag."
I looked down at my shirt. Holy crap, he's right! "But how can you see it from that far away? And the room's practically pitch black!"
His glowing white eyes rested upon me. "Oh-ho, I can see a lot of things, Daniel Fenton." He paused. "Your fly's also down."
I gasped and quickly fixed that problem.
"Continuing on, I know you'll enjoy this fine campus, Mr. Fenton. And feel free to come to me for any help or questions you may have." The Headmaster began to write down on a piece of paper. "Here are the directions to your first class. There, you'll find a boy named Aono Tsukune. He'll help you move into your new room and give you a tour of the school."
A guard of his handed me the paper. I looked at it, and then back at him. "Thanks?"
After my encounter with him, and still with my luggage, and headed to my first class. This place was just as big on the inside as the outside! HUGE! I traveled down the large and long hallways until I came to a room with a sign… with Japanese writing on it.
"Of course." I sighed and slid open the door. The teacher and students stopped dead and stared at me.
"Um, I'm new here." I said in Japanese, "I was told you are my teacher."
"Wonderful!" The teacher cheered. She was wearing tight clothing, a short skirt, and had blonde highlighted hair. Just how old is she anyways?
I sulked into the class. All of the students eyed me suspiciously.
"I'm Ms. Nekonome, your homeroom teacher!" She smiled and tapped the board. "Welcome to Youkai Academy!" She pulled out a bottle of wine from out under her desk and popped the cork. Streamers and sparkles flew everywhere.
I wiped them off of my face. "Well that was annoying." I turned back to the class. "Anyways, I'm looking for Aono Tsukune."
All eyes bolted to a boy with dark brown hair. Hey! He's the average teen I saw earlier! The one with all the pretty girls following him!
He stood up and smiled. "Welcome to Youkai! I was told I would be escorting a new student today." Tsukune came up to me. He was about a foot or more, taller than me, actually. The two of us went back out into the hallway.
He began talking in much more advanced Japanese than I was used to, so I could only catch bits and pieces of his speech.
"Do you speak English?" I asked him.
"Of course! Why didn't you say so?" He let out a small bellowing laugh. I hung my head. "So, what's your name?"
"Fenton, Danny." I responded in the way the Japanese do. Actually, almost none of the kids in class looked of Japanese origin, considering this school's in Japan. We shook hands.
"Nice to meet you, Danny. Say, are you from-"
"The United States, yeah."
He grinned and his brown eyes fixed warmly on me. He appeared to be much more average than the rest of the student body. "So, we should probably get you settled into your dorm room. Don't worry; it's better than it looks."
At first, I had no idea what he meant. But as we went to the dorms, I understood all too well.
"HOLY-" I cut myself off.
Lightning flashed over the dark and sinister dorms. Tombstones marked the entrance to the buildings that were a mere walk away from the school. Tsukune lead me to his dorm room and it turned out that mine was across from his. What a wonderful way to start off.
I settled my bags in my room and then we went back to the school.
"This is the main hallway." We walked down a large and tall hallway that had two staircases leading in two different directions. The second floor had basic railings so no one would fall off.
"Down the hall there," he gestured to another hallway, "Is the lunchroom." Tsukune then gestured to another building. "And that's the main hall. We have introduction ceremonies there." And he yet again pointed to another building. "And finally, that's the gym."
I was dumbfounded, still, by how big this place was. This place pales in comparison to Casper High. I wonder if they have sports here… and I hope the academics aren't hard.
Out of the blue, the school bell rang. Students flooded out of their classes and began talking to one another. Tsukune and I made it up to the non-crowded balcony just in time.
"Tsukune!" A very pretty girl with long, silky pink hair ran up to us. "I was getting worried about you!"
She took one look at me and smiled. Then, in Japanese, she added "Oh! You're the new student from earlier! My name's Akashiya Moka." We shook hands.
I smiled back, but then halfway frowned. "Please excuse my language, I know little Japanese."
"I get it! You're from the United States!" Moka said cheerily in English. Thank God. "You know, I will be more than happy to give you Japanese lessons."
"Really?" I asked excitedly, "That would be great! I didn't have much of a warning for coming here; I didn't even have time to read the handbook."
"If that's the case, I could happily tell you the rules. There's not much to follow, and most are just your basic school rules. But most importantly," Tsukune pointed to an invisible tablet of rules. "No sharing your true form."
"True… form…?"
Out of nowhere, a short blue haired girl leapt into Tsukune, her bust rubbing up against him. "Oh Tsukune, don't ever leave me like that again. I-"
A golden tub fell onto her head. The girl fell back and glared at a giggling young brown haired girl. "That's a cheap move, you little Witch."
W- Witch…?
"Oh yeah? At least I don't suffocate Tsukune with unlike your enormous Succubus boobs!" The young girl sneered.
Moka tried to intervene. "Kurumu, Yukari, it's not polite to act this way in front of our guest! Someday, Tsukune's gonna get hurt by your games!"
Kurumu stood back up and got up in Moka's face. "Oh, and it's not like you hurt him," she said sarcastically, "Let's mention how you suck his blood all the time and you hog him to bits, you greedy vampire."
All of them started a cheesy catfight. Tsukune leaned over to me.
"Welcome to Youkai Academy: High School for Monsters!"
My heart stopped. "WWWWWHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAATTTT!"
I took several steps back. "What do you mean this is a school for monsters?"
The girls stopped their quarrel and stared blankly at me. "You- you mean y- you didn't… know?" Kurumu and Moka questioned at the same time.
"Of course not! My dad told me this place teaches about the supernatural, not that it is the supernatural!"
Moka gasped. "Don't tell me… you're human!"
I looked at all of their worried and confused expressions. I hesitated and looked down. "I- I don't know anymore."
Tsukune locked eyes with me. "Danny… you ARE a monster… right?"
All of this was just too much because if there was one thing I was sure about, it was what I am. "N- no… I- I'm… human! I'm a human! Not some fairytale monster!" And with that, I ran as fast as I could away from the school grounds. But first, I had to make a phone call.
I stopped at the public phones and quickly dialed my home phone.
"Hello?" My dad asked over the phone.
"DAD! Do you have ANY idea what you've gotten me into! This is a school for monsters." I yelled into the phone.
He laughed out from the other end. "Oh Danny boy, high school feels like that sometimes."
"No dad! I'm serious! It's a school for vampires and- and werewolves and stuff like that! Did you even read the fine print on the flyer!"
"Of course not, it's in Japanese."
I groaned. "But dad-"
"Oh shoot, the Ghost Portal's starting to grow unstable! Maddie! Secure the levels! Hey Danny, I have to go." He hung up.
I sulked to the edge of the cliff that rose out into the red sea and sat on the edge. I brought my knees up close and gazed out into the horizon.
"I still could leave and go back to my parents…." I pondered, "No, I'm not that desperate."
"But even then, do I belong here? Just because I'm a halfa, that doesn't mean I belong in a school for monsters. But… everyone looked so normal, well, as normal as they could be. Does that mean Tsukune's some kind of monster too?"
However, after long thought, I decided. I'm staying. I'm staying at the Youkai Academy for Monsters.
