It's Just Another Day, Right?


The boy looked up with a weak smile as he took his hand. "It's nice to meet you. My name is Tsukune, Tsukune Aono. But with my current circumstance, this probably will be our last meeting".

Kohta gave him a dumbfounded look. "Kind of being extreme there . . . .", but then shook his head as he looked back at him. "Well if you need help just ask OK".

Tsukune gave a low chuckle, "yeah, right". As he soon got up to walk away. By with his aura alone anyone could tell how much despair he was feeling.

The boy watched as he left and wondered if he should have done something more. But soon shook his head as he passed it off as normal teenage angst of over dramatizing things. Then again he was living in a monster school, so he couldn't really say much as he wasn't sure how monsters really thought. "And besides, I shouldn't really poke my nose where is doesn't belong". So with that he turned to leave, "I wonder what Nyu-san is doing right now".


~ Youkai Academy (common area) ~

"Kohta-kun! There's trouble!" almost shouted Nyu as she looked quite frantic the moment her tanned friend appeared.

"Wait hold on" said Kohta trying to calm the ditzy girl down. "Slow down and just tell me what happened".

Nyu nodded as she took a deep breath to calm herself down. "The newspaper club is in trouble!" she then shouted.

Kohta winced at the second sudden outburst. He then shook his head to refocus himself. "Wait, what do you mean they're in trouble? What happened?"

"The police committee just came recently and took two of their members!"

Kohta looked down in thought. "OK, that's not good. Do you know where they're being taken?"

Nyu nodded. "They left to the police committee's headquarters. Yukari-chan and her friends already left to go help them. We have to go to make sure that they are OK!"

The tanned youth closed his eyes in thought. The simple fact was he was volunteering himself to drop head first into trouble against a corrupt dangerous group of monsters and what sane person would do that? I mean he had plans of just living at the school as quietly and as peacefully as he could. "Who the hell am I kidding?" as he rubbed the back of his head. It was not in his nature to turn a blind eye when something bad was happening to the people around him. Hell, even being in a monster school wasn't going to change his mind about doing the right thing especially when someone was reaching out for help. Besides, "I already gave Yukari-chan my word of honor that the photography club would support the newspaper club, and I don't intend to go back on it". He then looked back to Nyu. "Alright let's get going. We've got a club to save".

"Let's do it" as the ditzy girl pumped both her fists.


~ Youkai Academy (police committee's headquarters) ~

It didn't take the pair much time to arrive at the site as there headquarters were right at the edge of the school. As they arrived they saw a long stretch of torri gates along a pathway leading to a very intimidating looking building which obviously looked more like a prison then a place of justice even for something that should look friendlier on school grounds.

"Is this the place?"

"Yes!" replied Nyu. "Yukari-chan and her friends should already be inside. We have to hurry and get to them!"

"Let's hurry then!" to which the pair soon raced off down the pathway. At seeing the main door, "there's the entrance! We're going in!"

But before they could take another step, Nyu's eyes widened in shock as she felt a sudden zip of energy surge through her senses.

"Nyu-san? What's wrong?"

". . . . Trouble . . . ."

Just before she could elaborate, there was no point as Kohta now understood why.

"Who the hell are you people?"

"Hey I recognize them! They're from the photography club! They're the ones responsible for beating Kaori. It looks like we've got some justice to dispense".

"Ahh, so there's more garbage for us to deal with huh?"

"Can't wait, I've been itching to kill something all day".

Kohta rapidly looked around to see many of the police members appear as they walked out from wherever they were hiding. But then it just occurred to him, "we've should have used the back door" as he held his face in disbelief. "Wait a minute" as he looked up. "But why are all the police committee members here?"

A bulky police member walked up. "We're just here to ensure that no one interferes with the interrogation of that boy".

"Besides, Kuyou-sama is already plenty strong enough to dispense justice where it is needed" said a female member. "But since the photography club decided to come that means you intended to interfere right?"

"Awesome! We've got something to kill!"

"Besides they beat Kaori which obviously means they're evil, right?"

"Let us serve justice shall we?" to which the police committee members were now beginning to close around them.

"This is bad" thought Kohta. Running through his mind they were completely surrounded by enemies with unknown statistics as they were standing on the front door of enemy territory without back-up or an escape route. "Yeah . . . . that about sums it up" as he looked a bit glum.

"Kohta-kun! Release me and I can help too!" said Nyu as she took Kohta's hand.

But he paused at this action. As strong as Lucy was they were practically fighting an entire army and he didn't want her to do this alone. As strong as his magic was, his attack spells were only good for about six or seven shots before his energy was completely drained. Then looking back at Nyu, he took hold of her bracelet releasing Lucy as her horns appeared and with it her enormous presence which seemed to have intimidated the opponents that surrounded them. "But I have to do everything I can".

As Lucy opened her crimson eyes, she took a glance at their current situation. "You sure have a knack for dragging me into some rather troublesome situations". She then looked back at Kohta with a slight growl. "You're going to owe me for this later".

"Fine then!" retorted Kohta. "But right now we need to a plan our next move or risk being completely overwhelmed resulting in our untimely death".

"Fine" said Lucy as she grabbed the tanned youth while striking the ground with her vectors shooting them both over the crowd as they landed near the front door. "I'll go deal with them myself" as she turned back to face her many adversaries. "Help or not, I don't really care as I can deal with this myself".

Right before them the police committee began to mutate into their respective monster forms ranging from many species all around the world.

Lucy stared out to the crowd in indifference. But soon an arrogant smirk began to spread along her face. "This ought to be interesting" as she soon raced towards them as they too did the same to her. The horned girl sent her vectors out knocking aside five of them as her opening move. But as her opponents closed the distance into close range battle, Lucy wrapped her vectors around her arms and legs psychically enhancing her body's defenses and strength. As she turned around, she blocked a golem's massive fist with ease as she countered with her own punch sending the rock monster flying. Then turning to the next opponent, she kicked her sending her a distance away towards the forest. "Hmph, too easy", although she could easily beat all of them with just her vectors alone she enjoyed the feeling of crushing them with her own hands.

"You're going down now!"

The horned girl turned to see an opponent an inch away from hitting her, but was stopped as he was sent several feet away slightly smoldering. Lucy looked to see Kohta with his arm raised as his attack spell was still glowing. "Looks, like he's getting off his lazy a** to do something" thought Lucy as she soon returned to her fight.

"I have to do all I can to support her. I can't let Lucy-san fight this all alone" as Kohta kept himself focused to blast any monster that got too close to Lucy before she could counter them. "I have six shots left before I'm out of power. I better make them count". Taking his time to observe, he blasted five more as he started to feel the stress taking its toll on his stamina. "One shot left, I've got to make it count!"

"And what do you think you're doing?" as a bug like officer had sneaked around the fight to get to him.

"Oh crap!" thought Kohta. "How did he get so close without me noticing?"

"Die!" the monster screamed as it swung its blade arm at him.

"That idiot!" thought Lucy as she glimpsed back to see what was going on. However she couldn't do anything as she was busy with her own problem.

Kohta seeing the attack coming started to offset himself to avoid it. "This is going to be close!" But as the blade arrived it slightly connected with him slashing his uniform causing a minor flesh wound on his side. Out of impulse, he struck back with his own fist hitting the bug like monster in the face. And to his surprise, "how did I do that?" With his counter the insectoid was shot away as its body was imbedded into a tree. He then looked to the hand that did it as he couldn't believe what he just did, but there it was in front of him. If he had to guess, the magic he used somehow enhanced his body's physical parameters drastically as he didn't really feel any resistance when his fist connected. However he didn't have much time to ponder this as he now had a batch of his own opponents to fight.

"Look at what he did!"

"Get him!"

Lucy noticed some of her opponents depart from her group as they went off to fight Kohta. At looking she was sort of worried. But focusing at where the action was going on, she refocused herself back to her fight. "It looks like he has things covered".

With one attack after another Kohta was dodging, parrying, and countering each move that came his way. "How am I doing this?" As he moved, it felt natural to him as if his body already knew what to do far better then what his brain was telling. Without even thinking about what to do next, his arms and legs were already a step ahead of him. Throughout his entire life, he has never had any kind of self-defense training or fighting experience. But from an outside point of view one would think otherwise as Kohta was handling himself almost like a master who done this over a hundred times before.

Then after ten minutes worth of fighting Kohta had beaten down the police committee that went after him. Although he had to make Lucy fight the girls which came after him as he found himself stalled every time he tried to punch one. At that conclusion Kohta slouched placing his hands on his knees to take a breath. "Thank god that it's over" he breathed out. Although his body was exhausted his mind was racing. I mean he just did something incredible as he just beat down a group of monsters with his bare hands although with magically enhanced strength. But hell it was still amazing in and of itself. "I can't believe I just did that", but at wondering this he figured he'd pass this off as having a natural aptitude for fighting as thinking any further into this would only add to his already complex dilemma.

Kohta then looked to see as Lucy had just finished off her last opponent as she was holding him up with one arm by a choke hold as her opponent was far too beaten to resist. She soon dropped him as Lucy looked down at the body with indifference. "How boring" as she turned towards Kohta beginning to move towards him. "It looks like you've been hiding more then you let on Kohta".

The tanned youth gave a low chuckle while still giving uneasy breaths. "Not at all Lucy-san, I'm just as surprised as you at how well did".

Lucy simply blinked at this. "Really now?" the horned girl stated as she looked at the bodies that surrounded him. Although she doubted, he could not hide his thoughts from her telepathy. So she knew he wasn't lying. However, "I'll keep watching him for now" as she looked to see Kohta's dumb grinning face. "I wonder what else he's hiding in that human shell of his . . . ." In observing thus far, the boy was one mystery after another and what he did just now was no coincidence. First the ability to see impossible things, then his complex mind, the spells he uses, and now his unnatural aptitude for hand to hand combat. "Just what are you Kohta?"

Kohta soon recuperated enough as he saw Lucy approach him. "So are you OK Lucy-san?"

The horned girl folded her arms. "Stupid question for stupid boy I suppose" as she rose her chin in arrogance.

The tanned youth gave a soft chuckle to this. "Yes, sorry Lucy-san. We better get going now. Yukari-chan and her friends must have already made contact with the leader. So we better go see to make sure that they're OK".

Lucy looked to him before giving a nod as she soon started to move advance.

"Die!"

The horned girl noticed the incoming attack. "What? I thought he was down!" But it was too late to raise her defenses as the long sharp nail was now an inch away from touching her.

"Lucy-san!" as Kohta saw what was coming he raised his arm to take aim. However he couldn't shoot as Lucy was still standing in his line of fire. As time seemed to have slowed down, he felt his heart sink at his inability stop the inevitable of what was going to happen.

But in that moment his head started to hurt as he saw a bright light before him. As his eyes focused at what was happening his face widened in shock. There again was his younger self as he looked scared at what he saw. As he looked at the boy's line of sight, "there she is again". There stood the pink haired girl as she looked back at them equally as scared as some sort of blade arm outside his sight reached out and cut her down from behind. As she fell before them blood splattered out as his younger self reached out to her as if wanting to save her. Like himself, he too began to reach out in desperation as he needed to make it in time for her. Unable to bare it any further, he screamed out her name.

"Kaede-chan!" to which a strange shadowy like mist flashed from his hand as many shadows from the surrounding forest stretched out with ghost like arms as they reached out stopping the attack just millimeters away from touching Lucy.

The horned girl immediately coming to her senses punched her opponent down with extreme force as the monster was sent to the ground grinding against the concrete only stopping several feet away after losing momentum from the hit he took. Lucy breathed out at the close call as she then looked back to Kohta with a slight glare.

"Lucy-san . . . . ?" asked Kohta slightly flinching back at feeling the stare his pink friend was giving him.

Lucy now stood in front of him as her eyes stared directly into his as if searching for something. "How did you do that?"

". . . . Do what Lucy-san?"

"Whatever you did with those shadows, how did you do that?"

"Shadows?" asked Kohta curiously. "What do you mean?"

Lucy's eyebrow rose at this. "Hmm . . . . he isn't lying about not knowing . . . . But his presence . . . . it felt different just a moment ago". She closed her eyes in thought, "but why did he call out Kaede? Hmm, he probably wouldn't know that either". She then shook her head as she reopened her eyes. "So do you know what just happened?"

"What do you mean?" he then asked. "Your reaction time was incredible as you knocked him down before he could even touch you"

Lucy stared at him briefly before folding her arms. "Yeah . . . . that's what happened".

"Alright, let's get going then. The newspaper club might be in trouble" as he went to the door.

" . . . . I'll keep watching for now".


~ Youkai Academy ~ (the next day)

The danger had passed as the newspaper club defeated Kuyou as the news spread around the school like wild fire. Although the information was a bit screwy, it was agreed upon that Kuyou was defeated and by a vampire boy of the newspaper club. His name was still unclear as the news was still new as gossip and rumors only made it more difficult to understand what the real truth was.

As Kohta sat at one of the tables he could only sigh. "It looks like we weren't any help at all".

"Agreed" nodded Nyu as she looked somewhat depressed.

By the time they entered the facility they were sidetracked by first needing to help prisoners who were wrongfully accused and second getting kind of lost trying to find where the newspaper club was being kept. But after finding a half dead human fox looking creature they assumed was Kuyou, it was safe to assume the newspaper club was safe and had already left to wherever they went.

"How are you guys doing?" asked Yukari happily as she took a seat at their table.

"Yukari-chan" smiled Nyu. "How are your friends doing?"

"Fine!" smiled the little witch. "Everything turned out alright and everybody is just fine. Plus with Kuyou's defeat the police committee is being disbanded and will continue to be so until further review by the school principle".

"Good" said Kohta. With a corrupt portion of the student government now removed a lot of people could breath easily now. But concerning his last battle a certain thought came to mind. "Umm, Yukari-chan there's a favor I'd like to ask you".

"Yeah sure, what is it Kohta-san?"

"I was wondering . . . . if you could teach me some magic".

"Kohta-kun?" asked Nyu curiously.

"Well I've been thinking about this for a while now, and my current spells are draining me too fast to be very useful in the dangerous lives we have here. Of course I can learn from the academy's books. But I think it would be more beneficial learning from another magic user".

"But then why all of the sudden Kohta-kun?" she then asked.

"The last battle showed me how I need to be better prepared to face whatever this school throws at me. So I want to be ready the next time. As the saying goes it's better to have it and not need it then need it but not have it".

Nyu nodded as she couldn't disagree with that line of logic.

"Actually Kohta-san" said Yukari. "For the record, you two really helped us out. After the battle with Kuyou our group was seriously too hurt to fight anymore. So when you took care of all the other members it really helped us out". The little witch smiled as she then stood up. "Well I don't mind teaching you some of the things I know. But understand that I'm a very strict teacher and I don't plan to go easy on you".

Kohta nodded, "I've got no objections. Let's get started as soon as we can".

"Can I come too?" asked Nyu. "Maybe I can help out in some way".

"I don't see why not" said Yukari. "We'll begin tomorrow morning. So be on time OK!"

That concluded yet another day at Youkai Academy.

To be continued . . . .


Author's notes: As Yukari said I never understood why the other police committee members didn't come to help Kuyou. So I figured it would be a good place to put Kohta and Nyu as it would explain how the newspaper club got out of there without anymore fighting as Gin, Moka, and Tsukune were too exhausted to do anything else to which Kurumu and Yukari couldn't really do much to protect them if they were jumped by the other members. But soon the two clubs will meet as their journey will soon begin together.

Lord Shadowstorm – Well I can't wait to write that part and soon the two casts will meet. So thank you for reading as well as your kind patronage in dropping in a critique.

Balthier – Well I wanted Kohta to have more of a spine in comparison to Tsukune at the beginning of the story. Although their base personalities do share some strong similarities I enjoy the character being stronger at expressing themselves. So thank you for reading as well as your kind patronage in dropping in a critique.

Fort the Deviant – He will in time. So thank you for reading as well as your kind patronage in dropping in a critique.

TheWatcher2785 – Yes he is a mystery indeed. So thank you for reading as well as your kind patronage in dropping in a critique.

Vaan – Well it was the only thing that made sense to me. Every strong character has to have a weakness like vampires to water, werewolves to silver, yukionnas to fire, succubus to strong minds, and the list goes on. At least that is what I figure. So thank you for reading as well as your kind patronage in dropping in a critique.

So I would like to thank you all for reading this fic and I further extend my gratitude if you can review it as well.
