"Morning Reborn!" I hurriedly walked over to my new friend after seeing him heading to the school.

"Morning Nayoka" he greeted me with a smile.

"What subject do you have first?" I looked at him.

"Umm…" he went looked through his one-strap back and took out a small white paper. "PE" he responded, "What about you?" he asked.

"Me too" I smiled at him as we both headed to class.

"Okay huddle up students!" our muscular male PE teacher instructed us while blowing his whistle. He fanned all the boys and girls to follow him to the PE Field. "My name is Mr. Mabashi and this is Ms. Okono, I'll be training the boys and she'll be training the girls" he directed the boys to the left side of the field while Ms. Okono brought us girls to the right side of the field.

"Okay girls, go change into your PE Gears in that shed" she pointed towards a shed to the far right of the field while all seventeen girls hurried inside while the other thirteen boys piled into the shed on the far left. I wasted no time in taking off my school uniform, so did the other girls. We all slipped in blue and white shirts with small white shorts. We all headed out back on the field, including the boys on their side of the field where I caught a glimpse of Reborn changing on the outside. He stripped his shirt off and threw it on the bench beside the Changing Shack; him taking his shirt off revealed his bare torso. Reborn had a slender body with visible Pecs and a little muscle on his arms and had no abs.

The worst thing imaginable happened, he caught me staring. My blushing face immediately looked away and then as I tilted my pupil over back at him, I caught a glimpse of him smiling. "Okay! First this is a game of football; divide yourselves into sides of 8 with the remainder being my Assistant Referee" Ms. Okono requested. I quickly ran over to the group of sixteen girls huddling together, already deciding the team leaders. The team leaders took no hesitation for naming their football team, as it was going to be their permanent team for the rest of the school year. The team leader for team one was Kamiko Shirane, a girl with a regular build and a height of 5'4, she had long, black hair tied into pigtails. She had black eyes and was considered the 'Sports Expert' but her personality was what people considered dangerous about her. I heard several other girls talking how she looks down upon everyone and calls them inferior to her skills, sports-wise and not. She named her team the 'Black Angels', a tribute to her personality I assumed.

The team leader for team two was Ren Ike, a girl with a regular build and a height of 5'2; she had shoulder-length sky-blue hair. She had blue eyes and was considered to be the nicest girl in the entire school. She was a caring person, smiling and would never shut anybody out; she named her team 'Snow Angels' in contrast to Kamiko's team name.

"Pick your team ladies, Kamiko goes first" Ms. Okono instructed.

Kamiko wasted no time in choosing her companions from wherever she came from, two other girls who shared the same personality she did. She walked over to me and glared at me before bursting into laughter. "You'll never be on my team, wretched vampire" she looked at me with pity before moving on.

"Okay so Ren, you get whoever's left" Ms. Okono said before walking over to the middle of our side of the field.

"Are you sure you want her on the team?" voices whispered into Ren's ears.

"She'll just do more harm than good" the voices were against me.

"It's okay Nayoka" I felt a gentle hand brushing against mine. I lifted my head to see Ren holding my hands, carrying me to her team. "I'd love to have you on our team, there's no need to worry" Ren spoke with such kindness it almost made me cry on the spot.

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiing! Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing!

"Okay girls, time's up! Pity we couldn't get to start a match yet but you've got to get to your next class" Ms. Okono abused her whistle.

"Hey Nayoka" Reborn snuck beside me.

"Hey there" I smiled at him.

"Where to?" he asked.

"Umm…" I unwrapped the paper in my hands, "Art" I responded as he unwrapped his paper.

"Music" Reborn said as he wrapped his arms behind his head.

"Hey there" two male figures stood arched against the front door of the school.

"Get out of our way" Reborn pushed me behind him.

"Why you gettin' so rude?" one of the men asked as he walked up to Reborn, chuckling.

"I know your type, you want nothing but trouble" Reborn set his eyes clear on the enemy in front of him. But the enemy easily towered over Reborn with his 6'1 height; the men were wearing the male's version of the Youkai Academy uniform except the sleeves were torn off. "What are second years doing here anyway?" Reborn clenched his fists.

"We got a tip from one of these first years that we got a wuss vampire, we just wanna assist the Akashiya's in getting rid of this… Blunder of theirs" the men chuckled.

"Nayoka get away!" Reborn pushed me unto the ground behind him as he ran up the man and jumped on his back and held him in a choke hold. "Even without transforming I can whoop your ass" the man chuckled before he effortlessly got out of the chokehold and raised Reborn by his throat, choking him. "Stop! Let him go!" I punched the man, sending him flying through the school door.

"That vampiric strength" his companion charged at me, punching me several feet away. "It turns me on" he whispered into my ear as he picked me up off the ground.

"What turns you on…?" a familiar and mysterious voice echoed around me.

We all frantically looked around for the source of the voice and we finally spotted it, Dante stood on a tree branch gazing at the man who had me by my hair. "D-Dante A-Akashiya…" the man quickly let me go and started backing off, "Aren't you 2nd years?" Dante jumped to the ground and started walking towards the men, with his arms folded.

It didn't even seem like anything changed but somehow one of the men found himself soaring 20 feet into the air in direction of the dark forest and the other man on the ground holding his abdomen in great pain as blood trickled from his mouth with what seemed to be punch marks on his face.

"So… Fast…" Reborn commented.

"Are you alright" Dante kneeled in front of me, with his eyes looking at me.

"Y-Yeah…" I stuttered.

"Good" Dante began walking away.

"Dante…" I smiled to myself, "I never knew you cared"
