Hello guys, Chapter 3 is here I hope you all like it and enjoy!
Chapter 3
Wizard and a Witch
"I gotta say, Youkai Academy is very different from Ravenwood. It looks it though the student hate mid-term tests, whatever mid-term means. I don't find tests that bad seeing as I get nearly perfect grades on all my tests. Thanks to my mother, I have her photographic memory that she says runs in her families blood. I'm not complaining but it's saved my hide more than once."
Sam stood against a nearby pillar, not bothering looking at the student rankings board, seeing as it was surrounded by students. There were several students who were cheering happily despite the fact that they were ranked around the 200s with the dumber students.
Some people didn't have very high standards, Sam sighed and finally deciding to look at the board, he ran through the names and found Moka's name near the front of the board she was ranked 11th or so. Sam, remarkably enough, was ranked number 7 on the list which as everyone knew wasn't that far from Moka's, it was only then that he noticed the whole group of students, granted it was a small group of like 11 people but still, were commenting about how beautiful both he and Moka were and how smart they were.
Grabbing his hat, Sam pulled it down over his eyes and begun wishing he could grow a mustache or something. With that mental image burned into his brain he set his gaze on his pink hair Vampire friend as she walked outside and over to him.
"Looks like we're up high on the board Moka." Sam chuckled giving her a pat on the back.
"Thanks Sam you did well too. Sam, I was wondering..." She turned to face him poking her fingers together.
"Hmm?" Sam tilted his head.
"Would you like to... study together?"
"Sure, that sound like a great idea!" he said smiling it her. "You think Kurumu should join us, personally I think it'd be a good idea seeing as her number is 243."
Both of them begun chuckling to one another, meanwhile a younger girl made her way up to the test scoreboard. She was in a brown uniform and had a small cape on her shoulders with a witch's hat on her head. Her hair was brown and reached down on her chin. She seemed a little nervous, but still she looked at the board.
"Yukari Sendou…number 1," she read with a growing smile.
"Well, well," a low voice spoke up from behind the younger girl. "Looks like you got the top score again. Looks like you really did deserve to skip grades."
The girl, Yukari, turned around. In front of her was a teenage boy who was in the Youkai Academy uniform. He was missing the jacket and tie though. His skin was dark, as if it was tanned, and his eyes were slightly sunken in while his hair was almost white. His two cronies were pale and had sunken eyes with greasy hair. The leader also had an armband on that designated him as a class representative.
"Don't get a swelled head though," the Class rep hissed. "To me, you're just a little brat who is still stuck to mommy and daddy."
Yukari frowned. Before she could say anything, the class rep swatted her head.
"What is with your uniform anyway, your attire looks like a cosplay!" he growled. "I hate people who stick out!"
"Oi! Leave her alone buddy." Sam growled boping the leader on the head.
"Stay out of this!" he growled, rubbing his head. "This is none of your business!"
"Then I'll make it my business, you have no right to pick on her just because she is who she is."
"It would make since a couple of filthy witches would be sticking together!"
"Keep it up guys and you're gonna end up frozen till new years."
"Sam! Is everything alright?" Moka called.
The student's eyes narrowed. Even if he could beat them both up, he could get in real trouble for beating up one of the Academy's most popular girl.
"Let's go. It reeks," he said to his cronies before they walked away. Sam watched them go, snorting in annoyance. Once they were far enough, he turned to see the younger girl.
"You alright? They didn't hurt you did they?" Sam asked.
"No I'm alright, thank you." Yukari nodded blushing slightly.
"That good to hear, I'm Sam by the way, Sam Iceblood, what's your name?" he smiled holding his hand out to her.
"Oh, my name is Yukari Sendou. It's nice to meet you." She smile back shaking his hand.
"Likewise, Moka let's go grab some lunch and we can talk about the study group, would you care to join us Yukari?" Sam asked turning to look it Moka.
"Okay!" she smiled suddenly grabbing Sam's hand.
The three sat it one table eating the lunches passing the time discussing study topics eventually flying off the topic and getting to know each other better. Sam learned that Yukari was skipped ahead several grades and was the smartest person girl in school. While both Moka and Yukari learned some pretty surprising things about Sam, namely the world he came from.
"You came from another world?!" they both cried.
"Yep, was born on the sandy world called of Krokotopia and I moved to wizard city to learn Thaumaturgy or ice magic." Sam explained taking a bite out of his curry.
"It's hard to believe that there are other worlds and that they train witches and wizards, what other types of magic are there?" Yukari wondered.
"To put your wandering mind at ease, there are eight or nine worlds if I remember correctly, and Ice is just one of 10 different schools of magic. Going in order they are Fire, Ice, Storm, Life, Death, Myth, Balance, and the Astral Spell schools Sun, Moon, and Star." Sam continued eating his lunch.
"I'm envious of you, a city full of other witches and wizards. It must have been like a safe haven for those like us." Yukari sighed just imagining what Wizard City would look like.
"Yeah, I didn't really have many friends though, the only true friend I had was a kid named Robert Darkblood."
"You mean the vampire?" Moka wondered looking it him.
"You knew another vampire?!" Yukari yelled. Sam nodded.
"Yeah, I never had many friends, Moka is actually my first friend here it Youkai Academy."
"I-I see, Is Moka-san your... girlfriend?" she asked shyly. Moka face immediately flushed a light red watching as Yukari poked her two index fingers together.
"Eh? Well... not really, no." Sam rubbed his neck uncomfortably as he answered her question.
Yukari's face light up brightly in a smile. "Then, I'll be your girlfriend!"
"Wait what?!" Sam blinked coughing up a bit of his lunch.
"What?!" Moka shouted in shock.
"You see, I've actually loved you since the first day of school. We're perfect together!"
"Hang on a second, aren't you a little too young to date me?" Sam waved his hands in front of him. "And how have you known me since the first day of school?"
"I'll be twelve on my next birthday, and I saw you it the entrance exam, beside being Witches we're boht outcasts aren't we?" Yukari told him.
"Eh... Weeell I don't really know if I'd be considered an outcast, but I think I get the point you're trying to make." Sam nodded crossing his arms.
"See, we are perfect together!" Yukari jumped up from her seat Knocking Sam back in his.
Moka looked over the table to see Yukari burying her face into Sam's chest as he blushed a bright red. The more Moka watched the more she could feel her eye twitching in annoyance.
"Plus, when you saved me earlier, I made up my mind!" Yukari smiled it him.
"I can't believe my father had the audacity to send me here, oh well, there's nothing I can do about it now." Sam thought smiling back at her, patting her on the head. "I'm glad you're happy Yukari."
"Wait, you're gonna accept this just like that?!" Moka rose from her seat with a slight blush on her face.
"I'm afraid there isn't much I can do about it, if her mind is made up then that's it, after all it's nice that we now know someone new right?" Sam stood up dusting himself off while Yukari hung from his shoulders giggling and laughing.
The day was pretty much a constant chatter between Sam and Yukari. She rode on Sam's back piggy back style. Yukari wanted to know everything about him and the spiral, the name of the different worlds, the number of spells he knew, Ravenwood lesson, etc.
"...And with Krokopatra defeated, the undead kroks roaming about the world of Krokotopia were finally put back to rest." Sam had finished telling a story about his journey through Krokotopia.
"How do I know you're not making this up?" Yukari looked at him suspiciously.
"I'm not joking, you really think I could make something like that up?" Sam smiled looking over his shoulder it her.
"Yes."
"Then how about I take you there someday?" Sam smirked looking over his shoulder it her.
"You promise?"
"Sure, I'll take you to Wizard city too, cross my heart."
"Oh thank you thank you thank you!" Yukari squealed giving him the best bear hug she could manage.
"Sam what about me?!" Moka whined her eyes beginning to water up.
"Moka you're coming too, I couldn't leave you here alone, though now that I think about it I might have to take Kurumu as well."
"Someone say my name?" Kurumu purred walking around the corner with a basket in her hands. "Hey! What are you doing to my Destined one!" she shouted at Yukari dropping the basket.
"Oh nothing much!" Yukari teased rubbing Sam cheek with her own.
"Hey don't-"
"Get off of my destined one!" Kurumu yelled starting to run towards her.
Leaping off of Sam's back Yukari pulled out a pink heart shaped wand and made a burst of light shine from the crystal in the center. Everyone froze waiting for something to happen and sure enough a large wash pail dropped out of nowhere hitting Kurumu on the head, falling to the ground the pail vanished in a puff of smoke. Winching, Sam walked over to help his bleeding friend. Grabbing his spell deck he rummaged through at pulling out a green trimmed spell card with a fairly-like picture on it.
"Ha ha ha! That'll teach you! Yukari laughed before turning her attention to Sam.
Kneeling next to Kurumu Sam closed his eyes and started muttered an incantation, with his staff drew a green leaf symbol in the air. Finished his incantation both the symbol and the card merged together creating a tiny sprite like creature. Humming softly the sprite fly around Kurumu surrounding her in a green aura. The blood then began to recede back into wound.
"The pain... i-it's gone..." Kurumu muttered getting up off the floor. "How did you do that?"
"Sprite healing spell, I'm no healer but I learned a couple spells from my cousin." Sam said offering her a hand up off the ground.
"Woah! Can you teach me to do that?! Please?!" Yukari pleaded latching onto Sam's arm.
"No. My mother always told me to use my powers respectfully, and I believe that applies to others as well. What you did Yukari was in no way responsible. When you apologize then will I consider teaching you that spell."
"But she was trying to take me away from you." she said trying to reason with him. "I have to try and protect us!"
"Kurumu is my friend, just like Moka. If you truly want to be my friend Yukari, apologize."
Yukari muttered with her head down. "I thought... I thought we were perfect for eachother."
"Pardon?"
"You're just like the rest of them, baka! I hate you!" waving her wand she made another pail fall, this time on Sam's head. However the pail shattered against the force field surrounding him that also shattered. By the time Sam looked up to see the pail Yukari had run off.
"Dammit."
"Yukari's always being harassed by her classmates just because she's a border being." Moka explained.
"It's worse because she's only 11 years old and how smart she is." Kurumu added.
"I see, I can't believe I was so foolish." Sam muttered.
"I wouldn't be so sad for her, I heard she plays all kinds of pranks on her classmates." Kurumu added.
"She's 11, she's still young and has time to mature."
"I agree with Sam. We should go find her and apologize." Moka suggested.
"I like that idea, but we don't know her enough to know where she'd go in order to be alone."
"Well, what about the woods? There's plenty of space to be alone there." Kurumu suggested pointing out the window to the forest.
"I suppose it's a good a place as any, let's go."
"Right!" the girls said together.
Yukari sniffled as she ran. She was so sure that she and Sam would understand each other. She was the little witch and he was an older Witch, Wizard technically, from a whole nother school on a completely different world. He even knew much about magic so he should have been more understanding of her situation. Instead, he scolded her when she tried to make sure they stayed together.
Dashing alone around the back of the school, she collided with a body. Shaking her head, she looked up to see who had collided with. Her eyes widened and her heart sank when she saw the face of the class Rep.
"Well, well, look at what we have here," the Class Rep smirked while his cronies chuckled. "Now we have our little witch all alone. We also know you revealed your true form to that friend of yours and his friends. You know that's against the rules!"
"Uh…uh..." Yukari gulped.
"Well, we'll just have to exact punishment for this," the Class Rep smirked grabbing Yukari's arm. "Follow me."
"Nooooo!" Yukari cried as she struggled against the strong grip. "Lemme go!"
"Did you girls hear that?" Sam asked looking around the forest.
"Yeah, it sounded like Yukari." Moka looked around through the thick trees.
"Maybe we should split up, we could find her faster."
"That's a good Idea. I'll go this way." Kurumu nodded running off down one path while Moka down another.
"Guess that means I get the lake." he said to himself
"What do you think you are doing?!" Yukari cried as she was thrown against a tree.
"Shut up already!"
"Just hearing your annoying little voice gives me a headache."
"What a filthy sound." the class Rep hissed cracking his knuckles. "Filth like you and that boy don't belong here so after we're finished with you, he's next!"
"Leave Sam-sama out of this!" Yukari snapped gritting her teeth.
"Oh? Why should we?" the first cronie asked.
"Yeah, ask anyone and they'll tell you, this school is better off without you!" the second cronie added.
"The question is; how do we get rid of you?" The class red wondered. Before Yukari's terrified eyes, the skin of the three boys cracked as their faces elongated. Their hands turned to claws, their skin was covered in scales while their eyes turned yellow and slitted. Yukari recognized what these three were, lizardmen.
"Back off now, I won't let you touch Sam-sama!" Yukari cried as she drew her wand. Yukari begun a spell incantation, before she could complete her spell, the Class rep chomped the top of her wand off.
"Whoops." he chuckled. "Was I too rough with your little toy? Oh well, now where were we?"
"Let's eat her boss!" the two cronies hissed.
"That's not a bad idea, no one would notice in this fog, and it'd be a nice change of taste too!"
The Class Rep leapt forward with his jaws wide open. Yukari could see every single one of his sharp teeth and the back of his throat. Yukari couldn't hold back and she screamed in terror.
"Gah!" he yelled in pain as he flew into the lake. Looking to the tree line Yukari and the remaining two lizardmen set their gaze on a large white snake as it made a trail of ice through the trees. Slithering up to Yukari the snake took a defensive position in front of her.
"Yukari!" Sam yelled running up to her. "I'm glad I found you, are you alright?"
"Sam! I-I'm fine, why are you here?"
"To apologize, Yukari. I know what I did was mean, but that was because I did not understand the situation you were in, but I understand now and I'm sorry. Do you think you could ever forgive me?" Kneeling down to her he wiped a tear from Yukari's eye.
Closing her eyes she nodded. "Yes, thank you."
"You're really very lonely, right? Being alone is painful, so it's alright to be around others who will accept you the way you are. Remember when I told how lonely I was? Moka was the same way too."
"Moka-san too?"
"Yep, we're one big group of loners!" Sam smiled to her. "You can be friends with us Yukari, we want to help you but we can only help if you let us."
"Sam..." Yukari said, bursting into tears she started crying into his chest.
"H-How did the mood change so quickly?" the class rep asked as he climbed out of the lake walking over to his two cronies. "Seriously?! This same scene happens in the damn anime, what the hell?!"
"They're acting like we're not even here!"
"How unforgivable!"
"Fine! I'll just eat both of you!" The class rep yelled leaping it them once more, his mouth open wide.
"Look out!" Moka cried running out of the trees and pulling him back into the lake.
"Again?!" he yelled falling into the water.
"Moka, good timing. A three on one fight isn't really fair, care to help even the odds?" Sam rose to his feet with Yukari standing beside him.
"You don't need to ask." Moka nodded.
"I'm fighting too! Anyone who tries to hurt my Destined One I won't forgive!" Kurumu said swooping down from the sky in her true form.
"Three on three. Now it is a fair fight!" he smiled watching as the two lizardmen help the class rep out of the water, his snow serpent by now had vanished.
Looking over to Moka he held his hand out to her. The Rosary oh her neck then snapped off its chain flying into Sam's hand.
With the sudden rise of demonic power Kurumu, Yukari and the lizardmen couldn't help but shiver. Moka was a beauty before, but after her true form is revealed there are no words that can describe her beauty. Her slitted crimson eyes gazed arrogantly it the lizardmen before she looked back to Sam.
"We meet again Sam." Moka-sama smirked. "So, a three on three fight hmm?"
"Yep, seeing as to how strong we are I thought it'd be nice for you to get some exercise." Sam said as the head of his staff begun to glow an icy blue.
"That's very considerate of you, but I'll need something stronger than a few lizards to even get warmed up." Moka-sama smiled before stretching.
"You think we're weak?!" the class rep hissed as they all charged at the group. "We'll tear all four of you to pieces!"
Suddenly the three lizardmen begun slipping and fall to the ground. Looking down it the ground everyone saw that at was suddenly covered in a thin layer of ice originating at Sams feet, the ice then begun to slowly spread upward encasing the lizardmen in ice.
"What the hell is going on?!" The first cronie asked trying to break free from the ice.
"It's so... cold... can't focus..." the second cronie muttered.
Sam smiled. "Indeed, here's a nice little fact for ya: Lizardmen, much like normal reptiles, are cold blooded and can't generate their own body heat so when exposed to subzero temperatures they tend to go into hibernation till they can get warmer."
"You... you know our... weakness?!" the class rep groaned barely managing to keep his eyes open.
Looking back to Sam, Moka-sama smirked.
"Don't worry, you won't die, can't promise you get away unscratched though." holding his staff in front of him Sam begun muttering a very complex incantation while the head of his staff begun glowing brighter and brighter as a snowflake begun drawing itself in the air.
After a moment the symbol vanished and from above them came a low roar followed by a powerful aura coming close to Moka-sama's. The girls looked up to find a giant sized legless creature floating above them. The creature looked like a viking with Icy blue skin and a snow white beard wielding a hammer made of ice.
"Moka, Kurumu," Sam looking at both of them. "Care to take a few punches at the new punching bags before I get rid of them?"
Moka took this chance and dashed forward kicking the cronies out of the ice and into a nearby tree. Using one more powerful kick she sent the Rep flying through the tree holding his companions causing them to fall out landing next to him.
"Time for you trash to learn you place, Frost Giant, get rid this trash!" Sam commanded pointing to the Lizardmen. The giant roared and begun swinging it's hammer around and around, finally the giant made its move smacking the the lizards sending them flying off into the distance.
"Sugoi!" Yukari gasped watching her Class Rep fly off into the distance before vanishing with a sparkle.
With a triumphant roar the giant vanished along with it's powerful aura.
"Aww no fair!" Kurumu huffed crossing her arms.
"Why?" Yukari asked. "Why did you all come to help me?"
"To tell you something silly. You're not alone anymore, because you've got us now. No one should ever be alone, not ever you Yukari." Sam smiled. "What's say we fix your wand, hmm?"
The young witch blinked and then started sniffling. Yukari then begun crying out loud, she was happy now, she wasn't alone anymore. Finally she had friends who liked and accepted her.
Several days had passed by now, Sam, Moka, and Kurumu all walked to school together once more thankfully this time without the usual fight over who Sam was going to be with.
"I heard Yukari is getting along with her class now." Sam commented.
"I heard that as well, she apologized to her class for all her past misdeeds too." Kurumu added.
"Everyone seem to be thinking about their past actions towards her as well, even her Class Rep." Moka smiled.
"Seems like everythings working out just fine now, hopefully she won't be bullied again. Speaking of Yukari, where is she?" Sam wondered looking around.
"Mokaaaaa, Saaaamm!" A young energetic voice called.
"Huh?" all three of them blinked and turned to see none other than Yukari skipping towards them, after catching up with the group Yukari pressed herself between Moka and Sam.
"Morning!" the tiny witch smiled. "How are my two future lovers doing this morning?"
"I'm sorry I must be hearing things, did you say you 'two future lovers?'" Sam wondered trying to clean some earwax.
"No you heard me right." Yukari blushed shyly. "You see, ever since I saw both of you in action I fell in love with Moka-san too! In other words, I'm in love with both of you!"
"I guess love knows no bounds." Sam sighed. "Earth is very different from Wizard city, but Youkai Academy is even stranger than the human world. This is far more exciting than I ever thought at would be!"
"I know, we're all meant to be! It's fate!" Yukari announced.
Yukari seemed downright determined to have a relationship with Sam and Moka. The mind of an eleven year old witch was far beyond Sam's understanding and how she wanted a three way relationship.
At was just another day it Youkai Academy.
