"Where could he be, I thought he said he was attending this year?" Katsuya Jonouchi folded his arms scanning the crowded hallway.
"We might have caught him if we actually attended class you know." Honda sighed, rolling his eyes.
The blonde shrugged. "Pfft, it's not like we missed anything important, it's all just introduction and stuff."
Honda glared at Jonouchi, "You said that last year…and we ended up missing an important assignment!"
"Well gee if you're so worried about that you could have gone to class anyways…"
Honda chuckled, "And leave you alone with your own devices? Yeah, like I would do that." Honda playfully punched Jonouchi in the shoulder. Jonouchi smiled closing his eyes, as memories of last year filled his mind.
Jonouchi dashed down the hall occasionally knocking down classmates in his path.
"Hey Jonouchi, wait up!" Honda ranup to Jonouchi, trying to keep up, "He's after both of us now, don't you know when to shut your big mouth?"
Jonouchi laughed, "Hey he had it comin- WHOA!" A bolt of thunder zipped passed the two first year students.
"You had to piss off ka creature!" Honda laughed, "a bellua ka to be more specific."
"Ah come on there the most fun!" Jonouchi dodged a bolt of lightning aimed for his head. Both teens took a quick turn, running into a display.
"I've got you guys now!" In front of Jonouchi stood a tall and well built teenager with white horns growing out of his head and electricity pulsing throughout his body.
"Hey look, I was kidding 'bout you not being that bright, I mean, there's obviously a good reason why you've been held back three years in a row." Jonouchi tried to sound sincere but Honda snickering while he said it didn't help.
"DIE!" The boy shouted as he began to build up electricity over his head.
"I think we need to go now…" Honda quickly got back on his feet, pulling Jonouchi up with him. The ka creature through his electric ball at the two who barely dodged it.
"He sounds kind of serious about killing us," Jonouchi said worriedly, picking up his pace.
"Come on, we can take him on." Another bolt of lightning struck the wall next to the two boys, "or not…"
The boys took another quick turn and quickly stopped, they were at a dead end.
"Now what?" Honda looked back at Jonouchi , who was frantically searching for a way out.
"I….I don't know…."Jonouchi looked around the corner and saw the ka creature charging towards them, "it looks like we're stuck…"
"Well, I wouldn't be jumping to conclusions that quickly." A small voice spoke bhind the two teenswho quickly turnedaround. All they could see was a wall, standing firmly in front of them.
"Hey, who said that?" Jonouchi asked.
"I did…." The wall shifted revealing a vacant hallway and a boy with spiky hair in the middle of it. "Hurry, before he gets here!" The boy ran down the dark pathway.
"Should we follow him?" Honda looked at Jonouchi who just shrugged.
"Do we really have a choice?"Jonouchi looked down the hall and ran after the boy. Honda sighed, following after the two as the wall closed behind them. The hidden hallway lead the two first year students toward an intersection of corridors. "Where did he go?"
"Over here!" the boy poked his head out from one of the corridors, motioning the two boys to follow, "the exit is this way." He ran down the corridor.
"Hey wait up!" Jonouchi ran up to the boy catching up with him, "I need to ask ya something, why are you doing this?"
The boy stopped, "Well…it looked like you guys needed help…so I thought maybe I could help you out." He smiled and then lead the two boys to a door. "This leads to the school's private housing, you guys should be fine here." He began to open the door when Jonouchi stopped him, "Hey, before you lead us out, I wanna say thanks, you really helped us out back there." Jonouchi and Honda smiled as the three of them walked out of door.
Later that night Jonouchi and Honda headed to the dormitories. A full moon shone brightly, taking domain of the night sky. Jonouchi stood by the balcony, looking out at Yokai Academy.
"What's on your mind man?" Honda joined Jonouchi at the balcony placing his hand on his companions shoulder. Jonouchi smiled.
"It's been a rather eventful day today, don't ya think?"
Honda smirked, "Yeah…it has."
"WHAT HAVE I TOLD YOU 'BOUT GETTIN' INVOLVED IN OTHER PEOPLE'S BUISNESS!?"
Both of the teens jumped at the sound of the too familiar voice. They looked down and saw the ka creature that was chasing them earlier holding up someone against the wall.
"DO YOU HAVE A HEARING PROBLEM, EH BLOOD SUCKER?" The ka creature threw the person he was holding down on the ground.
"Hey, isn't that the guy who helped us out earlier?!" Honda watched helplessly as the creature placed hit boot down on the boy's chest, a lightning bolt building up in his hands.
"Let..me…go.." the boy struggled under the aggressor's boot. Jonouchi got up on the balcony's edge.
"There's no way I'll let him get away with this…." Jonouchi said, jumping off the balcony.
"Jonouchi wait, you can't just go jumping off of….never mind, you're not listening," Honda said, jumping after the blonde. Jonouchi charged towards the ka creature, knocking it off of its feet and onto the ground. When the ka creature got back upon his feet he snickered.
"Well, look at who decided to drop by." He glared at Jonouchi who smirked, "If I were you, I'd whipe the stupid grin of your face…." The ka creature threw a bolt of lightning which Jonouchi dodged easily. Annoyed, the creature threw several bolts at both Honda and Jonouchi who again easily dodged them, moving at an inhuman speed.
"What, is that the best you got?" Jonouchi taunted.
"Dodge this!" A bolt of lightning shot towards Jonouchi but again he got out of the way before it struck him."How are you able to doge these bolts?!"
Honda snickered, "I'll give you a hint," he pointed up to the moon. The ka creature looked confused for a second and then his eyes widen to the truth.
"wait….you two…." the ka creature stepped back. Both Honda and Jonouchi snickered as their mutation took place, hair growing thicker everywhere on the body, their teeth growing sharp and their faces bearing the shape of a wolf.
"Yes…we're werewolves." The ka creature shook his head.
"No…no, I'm not dealing with this…." The creature turned and ran. The two werewolves laughed.
"Well…that was easier than I thought." Honda said as the two morphed back to their human forms. Jonouchi walked towards the boy who was still on the ground.
"Hey…are you okay?" Jonouchi kneeled down, holding his hand out to help the boy up.
"Yeah….."The boy looked up at Jonouchi, "Thanks…."
"Yeah….what are friends for anyways?" Jonouchi smiled.
The hall became nearly empty.
"You sure he said this year?" Honda asked. Jonouchi nodded.
"Positive."
"So wait you know that jerk?"
"Yeah, he normally likes to stir up trouble….last year I got in a terrible situation with him until a few friends of mine saved me." Jonouchi eyes widened at the familiar voice. Around the corner came Anzu and Yugi, who stopped when he saw Jonouchi.
"Hey Yugi!" Jonouchi and Honda said simultaneously.
Yugi smiled, "Hi Jonouchi and Honda, I was just talking about you guys."
Jonouchi laughed, "It's been a while hasn't it?" Yugi nodded.
"It's nice seeing you again!" Anzu looked at the three boys, suddenly feeling out of place. Yugi, turned to Anzu and pulled her forward,"Hey guys, this is my friend Anzu, she a first year student also." Yugi said, introducing her. "These are my friends Jonouchi and Honda!"
Anzu smiled, not exactly sure what she got into. Since they also attended Yokai, doesn't that make them monsters as well? Anzu sighed, they're friends of Yugi… it wouldn't be that bad, right?
