With monsters being known worldwide now in the human realm it was understandable that some people, actually a lot, were a bit on edge and fearful knowing that things that used to be in their nightmares actually existed. Granted, these dark beings did help avert a global catastrophe by stopping the legendary destroyer Alucard, however not every human was trusting of these strange beings just yet. As a sign of goodwill towards humanity the dark lords of the monster realm have been meeting with human officials in the human world to discuss matters of peace and coexistence. Although the talks were progressing slowly because of humanity's skepticism about monsters being 'friendly', some strides have been made.

For one, three monster girls were allowed to publically attend a human high school to show that the dark beings did indeed want to learn to live with humans peacefully. However, the dark lords of the monster world declined the addition of human students to their monster schools because, just as some humans were leery about monsters, some monsters weren't so trusting of humans either. And being surrounded by students that could literally break you into pieces without even trying was a bit risky at the moment.

Another step was that certain monsters in the human world that were living in disguise have come forth, and being recognized as living peacefully for quite some time by their human neighbors and friends, showed that they truly did mean to live in peace with the current residents of the world. Needless to say some, actually a lot, of people were surprised to find that their best friends and colleagues were actually monsters in disguise. Still it wasn't unheard of that some people turned their backs on them after learning the truth, or even confronted them with violence out of fear.

Even after all that has happened it was more than apparent that there were some people in the world that still thought of monsters being… well, monsters, and saw no reason to trust them.

In a large building in the human world another meeting was taking place regarding the trustworthiness of monsters, which was a heightened topic at most meetings. At the top of the large manmade structure overlooking a human city a dark lord and his two daughters were seated in a conference room. The room had a fine oak conference table with the three monsters seated on one side and four human officials on another. Sunlight was shining in from the windows behind the humans as a few guards were standing at attention near the double doors leading into the room. There was a table set off to the side with water and snacks, as well as tomato juice for the monsters to drink. Lord Issa Shuzen was seated between his two eldest daughters as he waited for the meeting to start. He was wearing his usual outfit of black dress shoes and pants, along with a black fine silk dress shirt with golden trimmings and buttons. He had a red shirt seen underneath as he wore a black cape around his shoulders. His crimson eyes calmly looked ahead while he, as he always had the habit of doing, twirled one of his bangs with one of his fingers. To his left Akua was seated, the eldest daughter wearing her normal attire of a black Chinese cheongsam with knee high combat boots. She had short raven hair with two strands help up in pigtails and red eyes that glanced to the other side of her father curiously. Sitting next to him was his other daughter Kahlua, the vampire dressed in her usual outfit of a white dress with snow white gloves and boots. The blonde haired vampire had a tiara on her head holding back her long hair, her tan skin a stark contrast to her white clothing and bright hair. Her red eyes were looking at the humans across from the table curiously as the four men glanced from one vampire to the other. One was an older man with a large bald spot and gray hair, another was a younger man with sleek black hair and a calm smirk, the third was a more heavyweight man with a large belly and a thick brown beard matching his combed brown hair, and the fourth was a man with dark hair and a thin mustache. They all had black eyes that watched the vampires and were all dressed in formal business attires with black suits, white shirts underneath, and dark colored ties.

"Thank you for meeting with us again Issa Shuzen. Before we begin the meeting would you care for a drink or something to eat?" the older man asked kindly.

"No thank you, I'd prefer if we get down to business here. I do have other matters to attend to back in our own realm afterwards," Issa said simply.

"Very well. As you know there has been a lot of talk in the media and countries about the proposed 'Coexistence Treaty' being formed between our two worlds," the larger man said with an uplifting tone.

"And with that talk there are people who are all for it, and others that are against the idea of… living with monsters," the younger man said with a shrug.

"Yes, especially after one of your kind nearly destroyed everything in our world," the fourth man said with a bite and narrowed eyes.

"Now hold on, yes a monster was trying to annihilate this world, but it would have done so to ours as well. And we did put an end to it before it could go on to do so," Akua said shaking her head.

"Yeah, we fought really hard against that thing. We killed it so it wouldn't destroy any world," Kahlua said worriedly.

"And we appreciate that, really we do. I for one couldn't thank you enough. It's just-" the older man started before the fourth man started talking again.

"It's just that we lost hundreds of innocent lives that day, and all because of a monster going on the loose. Who's to say that won't happen again?" he accused firmly. Issa glanced to the man with a raised eyebrow.

"I don't recall meeting you before with these gatherings. What part of the human world do you work for?" he asked calmly.

"My name is Jenner Rythmore, and I'm in charge of the Human Defense Agency," the man said bitterly.

"The HDA, I've heard of that organization. They're the leading group boycotting the Coexistence Treaty," Akua said with a tone of discontent.

"And rightfully so. If one of you monsters went on a rampage like that what's to stop you from doing so again? We could let you all walk right into our world and then you would attack again from inside. No no, the human governments formed my organization to-" Jenner said before the older man spoke up again.

"To make sure that monsters could safely live in our world. I do apologize for Mr. Rythmore's …disrespect. I assure you that the rest of us here do not share his… fear of you," the man said solemnly.

"Fear? More like-" Jenner started before the younger man spoke up.

"Now now Jenner, don't forget we're here to talk about peace, and that aside from this… Alucard was it? Beside that thing's rampage there haven't been any reports of monsters attacking since then. We've even had monsters that were living in disguise in our world step forth because-"

"Living in disguise in our world. Isn't that just lovely? They've been snooping around in our world all this time, and they have the nerve to talk about wanting us to trust them? If that was the case why not come forth from the start? Why wait until after your little pet there failed to wipe us out?" Jenner barked out. The other three men sighed and shook their heads as the vampires sisters looked at the HDA official with narrowed eyes.

"Pet?" Issa asked with annoyance. All eyes turned to him as he narrowed his eyes at the human.

"That… thing was no pet human," he said sternly. Jenner smirked and leaned back in his chair.

"Right, attack dog then. Whatever," he scoffed.

"That thing was a nightmare to our world as well, we had no control over it at all," Akua said firmly.

"Really? Then tell me girl, what was it doing in our world? Hmm?" Jenner demanded inquisitively.

"It was sealed long ago; your human city wasn't there at the time. We had it buried and erased what we could from our history of it," Issa said simply.

"Buried in our world? How fascinating. Sort of like a ticking time bomb wouldn't you say?" Jenner said with a grunt.

"It was buried there because that's where it was sealed at the time. It tried to go on a rampage long ago in the human world, and where it was sealed was where we managed to stop it. Trying to move it could have undone that effort so we locked it away the best that we could," Issa explained.

"Sealed? Why not just kill the damned thing? If it was such a problem for you that you wanted to correct, why just leave the job half finished?" Jenner demanded with an accusing stare.

"Because we could not kill it. We had no power or weapon that could destroy it. We could only seal it away," Akua said regrettably.

"Well looks like your seal failed to do its job, perhaps just like you planned," Jenner said with an accusing glare at Issa. The vampire looked at him with discontent as the other three men exchanged glances.

"Do you honestly believe that I wished for that thing to reawaken? Is that what you're implying human?" the lord said with a stern tone.

"No no, that's not what we're saying at all," the younger man said waving his hands around in front of him.

"That's exactly what I'm implying vampire," Jenner said bitterly.

"Goddammit Jenner," the younger man said looking down and covering his eyes with a hand tiredly.

"How do we know you didn't? I'm only stating facts here. A gigantic monster was buried under our human city and laid waste to it before a few kids stepped forth from your world and somehow stopped it. I honestly don't know what you're playing here vampire, but with the death count from that thing's little spree I don't trust your kind around our world at all," Jenner snapped.

"Watch your tongue human. We risked our lives to save you and your kind along with our world," Akua quipped with anger.

"Yeah, we helped you when you couldn't do anything to stop it yourselves," Kahlua said with a nod.

"They're right Jenner; they stopped it before that death count could go any higher. And we do have reports of humans and soldiers being saved by these unique kids you speak of. Saved from other destructive monsters, witches I believe the reports claimed," the larger man said with a curious glance to Jenner.

"Oh well then let's just roll out the red carpet for them since they had their teenagers save our world. My point still stands vampire; if that thing could go on a rampage what's to keep us safe from another monster doing the same? Or two? Or twenty? We let your kind come into our world and we're handing our world over on a silver platter," Jenner said with anger.

"You have nothing to fear human, I assure you," Akua said looking down.

"Oh? And why should I believe that?" the man snapped back.

"Because there's a reason we were hiding from you," Kahlua said softly. The men glanced to her as the sisters looked to their father.

"We are no strangers to human technology and your numbers in this world. We've been hiding in our realm not because we wanted to, but because we had to. To survive from you," Issa said firmly. The men glanced to each other then back to him.

"Those kids you saw, the ones fighting Alucard, they are students at a school called Yokai Academy in the monster world," Akua started, the men looking to her cautiously.

"It's a school where monsters learn to live and coexist in the human world, to blend in and forge a life for themselves out here," Issa said calmly.

"A school teaching monsters to slink around in our world undetected. Well doesn't that just make me feel better," Jenner said bitterly.

"You speak as if we're the monsters human, and yes maybe we are different and often scary at first glance. But the truth is that humanity is capable of being monsters themselves. Don't speak as if your kind has never fought or killed each other out of spite and anger. Don't act as if you are all angels in the world and we are the only sinners. And don't assume we all think humans are ants compared to us," Issa said sternly. Akua and Kahlua glanced to each other and nodded slowly. They finally understood what Moka and Kokoa were being taught at their school, how a life is a life no matter what it is.

"I'm not going to defend our little mistakes in the past, but that has nothing to do with your kind and the obvious threat you pose to us," Jenner said with a bite.

"Really, because those students that learned to value life proved their teachings by standing up to Alucard for you and your kind. They were under no obligation or in light to gain any personal benefit by attacking the destroyer, yet they chose to. They chose to save lives that day human, a choice that many in the monster world agreed with," Issa said with a raised eyebrow. Jenner growled a bit then sat back in his chair.

"Our sister once attended a human school. She was harassed, picked on, bullied, and scared out of there before the year ended. And it wasn't because that she was a monster, but because humans can be cruel in their own right," Akua said with a bit of anger.

"She was also one of the fighters who took down Alucard, all to save those that once bullied her," Kahlua added. The men glanced to each other then back to the vampires.

"I understand your need for security regarding our kind in your world, but do not assume that we are all hostile. Just as with humans, there are monsters that are good and those that are bad. The ones that are bad are dealt by us in our world, just as you deal with the humans that are bad in yours," Akua said.

"Really? Interesting. I should make a note here that in a report from our inquires, an organization by the name of 'Fairy Tale' used to exist in our world. And wouldn't you know it, it was run by monsters. Monsters that wanted to wipe out humanity with some twisted magic and bioweapons. How do you explain that?" Jenner said with a scoff.

"Granted that organization was also wiped out by the same students that destroyed Alucard," the larger man added.

"Isn't that just a coincidence? I mean how much free time do these school kids have anyway? Taking tests and going on dates, and saving the world again and again. My my," Jenner said with a forced laugh.

"Fairy Tale is no more because we took care of those that were truly malicious, just as I said we would," Akua commented.

"And, correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't you two in that little club?" Jenner said glancing between the sisters. They looked down with remorse and nodded.

"Yes," Kahlua said regrettably.

"We made a mistake in our lives, we were used and mislead by the real monster running that organization. But we did correct it with our friends' help," Akua said softly.

"A mistake? Well glad to see you learned your lesson then. I guess we can all be friends now can't we?" Jenner quipped with a bite.

"Hey, we publicly admitted it during the hearings and apologized. We're not hiding anything and we're not causing trouble now," Akua defended.

"Yeah, we already atoned for what we did," Kahlua said worriedly.

"Atoned for it? And just what did you do that could make up for trying to kill every human on earth?" Jenner asked firmly.

"We were Tsukune's slaves for two whole days," Kahlua said softly. The men blinked and looked at her puzzled.

"What… slaves?" the older man asked shaking his head. Issa just shook his head while looking down, holding a hand over his eyes as he tried to ignore his daughter's choice of words.

"Two whole days? Oh my, you poor things," Jenner scoffed.

"It was harder than you think, you wouldn't believe how much we had to go through during that time," Akua commented. Issa rolled his eyes and shook his head.

"My daughters made a mistake and are working off their debt by helping with the Coexistence Treaty. And in all fairness, what teenage girl hasn't had a problem or outburst in their life?" he said plainly.

"Slaves?" the younger man asked again looking at the attractive girls with confusion. He pictured them being chained to a brick wall with skimpy clothing and pleading eyes as whips cracked in the background along with moans of girls. He shook his head and looked around nervously.

"Um… I think we're getting a bit off track here," he said tugging the collar of his shirt.

"You're right. How about this for our topic, how we're actually letting three of their kind attend a school in our world without any damned guards!" Jenner yelled out.

"I don't believe those three girls need any protection. They too were fighting Alucard and quite admirably as well," Akua commented.

"I don't mean to guard them; I mean to guard our students!" Jenner yelled at the girl.

"Enough!" the older man yelled out. Jenner looked to him as the man shook his head with discontent at him.

"Now I know the HDA is responsible for making sure monsters remain peaceful and follow the laws of our world, however that does not include attacking them during this meeting with accusations and belittling them during our talks for peace. We've read all the reports regarding Fairy Tale and Alucard, as well as the reports regarding this Yokai Academy. They have kept nothing from us and are trying to coexist with us peacefully, we should make the same effort," the man said with discontent.

"But-" Jenner started before the younger man spoke up.

"And as the head of the HDA you surely must know that Issa here is a 'dark lord' in their monster world, a high ranking official in his own right. And as such you will treat him and his daughters with respect, especially while they are here to talk about peace. Has one dark lord harmed a human since they came here? No. Have they harmed anybody? No. Could they tear us apart with their bare hands? I'm willing to bet those two men over there with handguns wouldn't be able to stop them. Yet here we are, talking about peace," he said waving his arms around.

"You've voiced your concerns about trust and issues with their kind; however the governments of the world have agreed to give them a chance. Your division may have been created to keep the peace, but it by no means gives you the right to claim that humanity does not want peace between these two worlds," the larger man said crossing his arms before him. Jenner growled then sat back in his chair with a scoff. The larger man shook his head and looked to the vampires.

"I do apologize for his outburst. Teenage girls aren't the only ones that do that it seems," he said with a chuckle looking to Akua and Kahlua. They smirked and narrowed their eyes at Jenner as Issa nodded once.

"We do know about you two working with that 'Fairy Tale' organization and how you helped put a stop to it. We are also well aware that you two personally had a hand in helping defeating that large destroyer as well. Nobody in this room, aside from Jenner obviously, is blaming you for anything, I assure you," the younger man said with a smile. The vampire sisters nodded slowly as the older man glanced to Jenner.

"We know we made a mistake in our past and are working to correct it. Although we have been given forgiveness from friends and family we still feel we need to do more to truly clean our slates," Akua said calmly.

"Yeah, and we're working hard too," Kahlua added.

"Do you have anything constructive to add to this conversation Jenner? Or can I assume that you're done talking now," the older man asked flatly. Jenner glanced to him then looked to the vampires with an accusing glare.

"Very well. I do offer my… apologies for what I said. However my organization as well as humans everywhere are still leery about another outburst happening like this… Alucard thing. Just answer me one thing lord Issa, what guarantee do we have that another outburst will not occur like that one?" he asked firmly.

"I cannot guarantee anything. Monsters, just as humans, do have what is called freewill remember?" Issa said simply.

"There's just as much chance of a monster causing harm as a human could," Akua said plainly.

"That does nothing to calm neither my nerves nor the public's about monsters in our world. We have three of your kind with our students as we speak, are you saying they are in danger? Because although humans may be able to harm one another, I'm sure it's safe to say that those three students of yours are capable of far more damage than any other human student in their school," Jenner said crossing his arms.

"Those three monsters students were accepted into our world under a watchful eye. Although they are not escorted around like criminals we do have the city they are in under watch by trained personal. Aside from a strange TV incident in their home, nothing out of the ordinary has been reported. If anything the students at their school are actually excited to have them joining them," the larger man said with a chuckle.

"We know those girls, they are kindhearted monsters. You have nothing to fear from them being in your school. If anything that school is safer with them there," Akua assured with a calm smile.

"Safer with them?" Jenner asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Yes, if anything I'm sure they would help keep the peace at the city. You're right, they are capable of more 'damage' than a human student, but that also means they're capable of stopping fights and trouble with greater ease. With those three at that school, I doubt any problems will arise," Akua said with a confident smile. She blinked then looked down as the phone in her pocket vibrated. She calmly took it out and flipped it open as the men glanced to each other curiously from her statement.

"Now if that is all you had to open with, perhaps we can start our actual meeting regarding the treaty," Issa said simply. Akua glanced to her father then to her phone.

"Excuse me, but I must attend to a family matter," she said as she stood up and bowed politely to the humans.

"What's wrong?" Kahlua asked. Issa glanced to Akua as the vampire looked to her phone again.

"Nothing worth interrupting the meeting with. Please excuse me father, but Moka needs my assistance with… a personal matter," she said calmly. The lord eyed her carefully then nodded.

"I'll have one of our men escort you out, do you need a ride anywhere?" the older man asked kindly. Akua shook her head and started walking towards the door.

"No thank you, I'll be fine on my own. Good day gentlemen," she said politely. She walked out as one of the men opened the door for her, the girl then walking down the hall looking at the phone with a puzzled expression. She received a text from her sister, but couldn't figure out what it was about.

It's Moka. This is an emergency. Bring transfusion blood packets here right away. Don't tell father yet. Please hurry.

"Moka… what have you gotten yourself into this time?" Akua said softly as she put her phone away and walked down the hall with a dull gaze.

Back inside the conference room Jenner was looking at the vampires with discontent.

"I do have another thing I feel I need to ask. Like we said we've had reports of monsters that were in disguise in our world showing themselves. Just how many of them are there in our world?" he asked with narrowed eyes.

"I'd image quite a few, we've been learning to coexist in your world quietly for some time," Issa said casually.

"Quite a few? So they could very well be monsters in this building, near my home, anywhere is what you're saying," Jenner said with a bite. Issa and Kahlua merely nodded. Jenner shook his head and looked at the two with discontent.

"And why should we be comfortable with that answer Issa? Do you think that doesn't cause a little red flag to pop up for us? If they're hiding still then that means they have a reason to hide. What if they choose to remain hidden now thanks to your school's training? What if your little attempt at teaching kids to be nice only gave them the means to sneak into our world for more devious purposes?" the man demanded with an accusing glare. He growled then slammed his hands down on the table.

"What if they're right under our noses plotting something behind our backs as we speak? What then? How can we trust you when you have covert agents that could very well be anywhere?" he shouted out.

"Agents?" Kahlua said shaking her head.

"Although I don't agree with his hostile accusations, that is a good point. If a monster is personally foul in nature we should know about them," the younger man reasoned.

"You've been training your students how to sneak into our world and penetrate the core of our society and military structure!" Jenner yelled out.

"That wasn't what I was implying," the younger man said shaking his head. The older man held his hand up to silence them then looked to Issa.

"If there are monsters hiding in this world still that will bring some discomfort to the human race. It will hinder the notion of trust and coexistence if they are indeed hiding for other purposes. Is there a way to make them reveal themselves or at least know if they are monsters?" he asked curiously.

"The only way you'll know is if they show themselves on their own accord. Perhaps if they weren't met with hostility and violence more would see less reason to hide," Issa said plainly.

"Oh that's just great, we'll never see them coming now because of the preparation you gave them. What's to stop them from appearing in our military stations? In our government buildings? In our police force? Or even in our own schools?" Jenner barked out.


Inside a human classroom Apoch, Astreal, and Falla were listening to their teacher during the class. They had been accepted into a school in the human world to show that monsters could coexist peacefully, and were publicly known to be from the other realm. Even so that didn't stop the school from welcoming them with open arms, much like the friendly town they were staying in. The girls were met with a warm welcome on the bus and in their first class by their classmates, one of which was Kyouko. However there were three students that weren't really paying much attention if any to the new girls. One was a boy in the front sitting before the girls, known as Ceal Erres. He didn't seem interested in the new girls; actually he didn't seem interested in anything as he just stared ahead with a bored look in his eye while his gloved hand gently drummed its fingers on his desk. Two other boys weren't paying the new girls much mind at the moment as they had other things taking their focus as well. Render and Leon were eyeing Ceal carefully while trying to pay some attention to the lecture going on.

"Why do you suppose he keeps coming to class anyway? It's obvious he doesn't care about any of this useless crap," Render whispered to Leon.

"Right, and you so obviously do. Anyway I would assume he's after us since we have the keys, but he's been in our class before we even got one of them so maybe not," Leon reasoned quietly.

Across the aisle from them the three new monster girls were busy taking notes on the lecture with calm smiles. Apoch glanced to her side to see a female student to her right who was smiling curiously at her. Apoch smiled softly and waved then resumed her work again. She could tell the girl was still staring at her and glanced back to her.

"Hey," the girl whispered.

"Hello," Apoch whispered back.

"So you're a monster right? What kind of monster are you?" the girl asked quietly. Apoch blinked then looked up thoughtfully. It was against the rules at Yokai Academy to reveal your monster identity, but as far as she knew it wasn't against any rules in the human school. In fact everybody knew already that the three girls were monsters of some form anyway. She looked back to the girl and winked.

"A witch," she said with a soft giggle. The other girl just sat there with wide eyes of wonder and mouthed out 'Wow…' as she stared at the witch. Apoch shrugged then resumed her notes while the student remained fixated on her. Next to Apoch her sister was looking from the board to her notes as she smiled calmly. She casually flicked a few strands of her long blonde hair over her shoulder as she tried to remain focused in class. She, like the other two monster girls, was trying to put their past relationships behind them, but was having a bit of difficulty doing so. Her mind wanted to think of her old boyfriend and angel, and she felt her heart yearn for him still. She sighed and glanced towards the window to her left, looking at the sky with a slightly saddened expression. The thoughts of flying through the air at night, and even engaging in love making high in the sky drifted through her mind. Falla looked over to her side to see Astreal looking at something with a bit of sadness then to the window as well. She looked back to Astreal as the witch shook her head a bit and resumed her work.

"Astreal, are you ok?" she whispered. The witch nodded and glanced to her with a soft smile.

"Yes, just daydreaming Ms. Falla," she said quietly. Falla smirked and raised an eyebrow, the witch blinking then giggling softly.

"I mean Fa… Falla," she said with a slightly strained voice. Falla shook her head amusingly then looked back to her work. She was guilty of daydreaming as well, still thinking of her old boyfriend and first love Tsukune. She sighed quietly and smiled a bit, remembering the times they sat together under the tree in the courtyard of the academy together.

Before she could drift further into her dream a girl's voice snapped her back to reality.

"That's so COOL!" the girl next to Apoch cheered as she jumped closer to the witch, and by closer I mean face to face. Surprised by the sudden outburst Apoch shot back and pushed into her sister, the blonde haired witch then being shoved over and knocking Falla out of her seat and into the aisle with a crash. The class watched with surprise as Apoch was leaning back against her sister with wide eyes while the girl next to her was staring at her with stars in hers. Kyouko looked at the girls then over to Falla.

"Falla? Are you ok?" she asked. Render looked down at something and tilted his head.

"She seems fine, she's giggling with a smile on her face," he said simply. Apoch and Astreal blinked then looked over to where they heard Falla giggling as she lay in the aisle.

"Giggling?" Apoch asked worriedly. Render helped the girl up and looked at her curiously.

"You ok?" he asked. She was smiling and laughing to herself as her eye twitched. Render looked at her puzzled as the girl slapped a hand over her mouth. She looked up and then around franticly.

"Ms. Cii, are you alright?" the teacher asked as he watched the girl laugh into her hand. Apoch and Astreal looked at the girl worriedly then jumped in surprise.

"Her headband!" Apoch cried out as they saw Falla was no longer wearing the silver band around her head.

"Headband?" Render asked puzzled. Falla looked around then down towards the bottom floor of the class, seeing the band spinning around before dropping down onto the ground. Astreal looked to it then lunged towards it, flying over a surprised student before dropping down and grabbing the seal. She threw it over to Apoch who caught it then quickly slid it on Falla's head. The girl blinked as she slowly stopped laughing, and then looked around to see everybody staring at her.

"Um… sorry about that," she said softly. Apoch and Astreal breathed out in relief while Kyouko looked at the band curiously. Falla adjusted it then looked to the teacher.

"Sorry, I have a bit of a… condition. This band keeps it in check," she explained with a shrug. The teacher nodded then looked at a paper on his desk.

"Hmm, yes I see here. There is a note about that condition in your papers. Must wear special headband at all times… doesn't explain what the condition itself is though," he said scratching his head.

"What condition is controlled by wearing a headband?" Render asked curiously. Falla glanced to him then downward.

"Um… just a slight mental one. It runs in the family," she said softly. Render nodded then smiled amusingly.

"Maybe I should get one too, I've been told I'm rather crazy myself," he said with a laugh.

"You are crazy," Leon said flatly. Falla looked around nervously while Astreal walked back to her seat. Kyouko smiled at her friend with relief then sat back down in her seat.

"I see, are you ok now?" the teacher asked. Falla nodded then looked to Apoch and the girl that was leaning very close to her.

"Um… what was that about?" the chronofly asked. Apoch looked to her apparent admirer with nervous eyes. The girl looked around then sat back in her seat with an embarrassed expression. The three girls took their seats again and looked around nervously.

"Sorry about that," Falla said softly.

"Hey no worries. Everybody has their quirks," Render said with a wave of his hand as he sat down. Apoch glanced to the girl next to her who was staring at the witch with a curious smile once again then to Astreal with a weak smile.

"Alright, let's resume then," the teacher said going back to the board. The class resumed as usual while Falla was looking down at her desk with worry.

'A few more seconds and who knows what I might have done. I could have hurt somebody. There must be some way of fixing this dementia, somehow.'


After class came to an end students were walking out into the halls. Kyouko, Apoch, Astreal, and Falla walked out and headed towards their next class while students around the hall were watching with wonder at the three new monster girls. So far nobody seemed to be hostile or scared of them. If anything the school seemed to be thrilled to have them there. Then again they did just appear to be normal schoolgirls, with Apoch and Astreal's looks earning plenty of glances while Falla's was gaining even more.

"Well, looks like you girls are getting popular quickly," Kyouko said with a laugh.

"Yeah, especially Apoch," Falla said with a smirk as she glanced to her friend. The witch sighed and looked up worriedly.

"Yeah, about that…" she said softly.

"So you have a few fans, that should be expected since you girls are pretty much famous here," Kyouko said with a smile.

"She kept asking for my phone number," Apoch muttered as she shook her head.

"I hope you didn't give it to her. I'd hate to be kept up all night if she keeps calling you to tell you that you're 'cool'," Falla mused with a chuckle. Apoch sighed and looked down.

"Why did she act that way anyway?" Astreal asked.

"I told her I was a witch. I didn't think it would make her react that way," Apoch said defensively.

"I was sort of curious what exactly you two were," Kyouko said looking between the two. She looked to Falla and smiled at her.

"I already know you're the queen of time though, that's still so wild. I bet if you told everybody here that you would be class president in no time," she said eagerly. Apoch and Astreal blinked then looked to Falla with raised eyebrows.

"Queen?" Astreal asked. Falla chuckled nervously and rubbed the back of her head.

"Um… yeah…" she said weakly.

"Really," Apoch said with an amused smile.

"Um, let's not tell anybody that though ok? I'd rather not be hounded all during the school year," Falla said quickly while looking away. Apoch and Astreal smiled slyly, both knowing Luna was the true queen of the chronoflies.

"Oh but you shouldn't be modest about telling the truth," Apoch urged with a smirk.

"Yes, we're not treating you differently because we know the truth, are we?" Astreal added with a grin. Falla looked to them nervously and smiled weakly.

"No really, let's just not mention that again, ok?" she pleaded quickly.

"Does that mean your sister is a princess or something?" Kyouko asked curiously. Falla just stammered in response.

"You know I'm not sure, I say we call her later and find out," Apoch said with a smug grin.

"No really, she's busy with that special job now anyway, I'm sure she's not back yet," Falla said nervously.

"We could always call Mr. Tsuku… I mean… TSUkune. I'm sure he could figure that out easily enough," Astreal said with a chuckle.

"C'mon, just drop it. Please?" Falla pleaded.

"Wow, friends with two witches and a queen. Never saw that in my future before," Kyouko said with amazement looking ahead.

"Life is full of surprises Ms. K… I mean KYOuko," Apoch said with a smirk and a slightly strained voice. Falla looked at them worriedly then up. The sisters looked to each other with amused smiles then forward again.

"So that headband is keeping your mind in check huh?" Kyouko said softly glancing to the silver band around Falla's head. The girl nodded and held a hand to it with a soft expression.

"Yes. Our magic to bend time takes a hefty toll on the mind. I pushed myself too far during Alucard's battle. Luckily it didn't escalate much further otherwise not even this band would help me. It's ok though, it was worth the battle scars to put an end to that thing's existence," she said softly. Kyouko nodded and looked ahead with a saddened smile.

"I'm sorry to hear you hurt yourself doing that," she said softly.

"I'm alright. Not like I need to use my magic here in the human world anyway right?" Falla mused with a soft laugh.

"You can't even use your magic now either?" Kyouko asked curiously. Falla merely shook her head.

"No, the band suppresses all my magic to keep my mind stable. I'm powerless just like when you met me… or rather the other me for the first time," she said softly. Kyouko nodded and looked at her curiously.

"I'm sorry," she said gently.

"It's alright. At least I can still have somewhat of a normal life," Falla said looking to her with a soft smile.

The three girls walked down the hall and entered their next class. It was set with tables to seat two students each facing the front board and teacher's desk. There were windows along the far wall that showed daylight outside. No other students were in class yet as the girls walked in. Apoch and Astreal sat together at a table next to the windows while Kyouko and Falla sat at a table next to them in the center of the room.

"So what class is this?" Apoch asked looking to Kyouko.

"Math class," Kyouko said casually. The three girls shuddered a bit at hearing that.

"What's wrong with that?" she asked curiously as she saw them tremble.

"Nothing… just… remembering that class from our school," Apoch said shakily.

"Was it difficult?" Kyouko asked.

"…in a way," Astreal said worriedly.

"Was the teacher difficult or something?" Kyouko asked.

"You could say that," Falla said nervously.

"Well don't worry, the teacher here is friendly. I'm sure it'll be much better for you," Kyouko said assuredly. The three girls nodded slowly and hoped to the Almighty that was true.

From the doorway Leon walked in and stopped, pausing for a moment then glancing back to the door as he heard his friend's voice.

"FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, HELP ME!" Render cried out as his hand grabbed onto the doorframe. The girls watched curiously as Render was seen trying to pull himself into the room while being yanked hard from behind by something. Leon rolled his eyes and looked back to his friend.

"Don't just stand there, do something!" Render cried out.

"Render!" a girl's voice called from the hallway.

"Where are you going cutie pie?" another said with a loving tone.

"Come back, class isn't starting yet anyway," another said with a cute purr.

"Again?" Leon asked flatly.

"What's going on?" Falla asked.

"That's Render Asaga. He's a bit of a ladies man I hear," Kyouko said with an amused smile.

"They're going to tear me apart, why are you just standing there?" Render cried out as Leon watched his friend struggle to free himself from a few overzealous girls.

"Must I always help you with your girl problems? What did you even say to them this time?" Leon asked plainly.

"I didn't say anything, I don't even KNOW them!" Render pleaded. The girls looked to each other curiously then back to the two boys.

"Why aren't you helping me?" Render barked out as he started to lose his grip.

"Don't know. Always wanted to throw somebody to the wolves before, sounds kind of fun," Leon said casually.

"Would you knock it off and help me already!" Render yelled out. Leon sighed and grabbed his friend's hand, then yanked him into the classroom, the boy then shutting the door quickly. The girls' cries of admiration and clawing on the door echoed out as Render jumped away from the noise. He breathed heavily for a moment then regained himself.

"Honestly, every day with you," Leon said simply as he walked past him and took a seat in front of Apoch and Astreal.

"Oh c'mon, how is that my fault? I don't even know those girls," Render groaned as he walked over to the seat next to him. He blinked then noticed the four other girls in the room.

"Oh, hello again," he said simply.

"Hello. You ok?" Falla asked with an amused smile.

"Yeah, still alive, so that's a plus right?" Render said as he walked over and sat next to Leon. He glanced to his friend with a dull stare.

"And by the way, thanks so much for walking away while I was screaming for help back there," he commented dully.

"Sure thing buddy," Leon said simply. Render sighed and dropped his head onto the table.

"Seriously, no other guy in the world has to deal with this problem, I just know it," he said dryly.

"Most guys don't consider it a problem to have girls chasing after them," Leon pointed out with a shrug.

"It is when those girls would tear me apart! Seriously though, who were they? I've never even seen them before," Render said shaking his head while keeping it down on the table.

"If it makes you feel better, my cousin had the same problem you have," Kyouko said. Render looked back to her with wonder as she nodded.

"He did? How did he get it to stop?" he asked curiously.

"He picked someone as his girlfriend," she said with a shrug. Render blinked then looked up thoughtfully. After a moment he looked back to Leon with a curious expression. The boy glanced to his friend and raised an eyebrow.

"There are four girls in this room, and you look to me when she tells you that?" he asked flatly. Render twitched then looked down with a grunt.

"That wasn't what I was getting at," he grumbled. The girls glanced to each other curiously then back to the boys.

After a while the two boys were just looking ahead with bored expressions while the three monster girls looked at them curiously. The boys didn't seem impressed or shocked or even interested in the fact that the girls were monsters.

"Um, so Falla, what was it like fighting Alucard like that?" Kyouko spoke up. She glanced to the boys and looked at them with puzzlement as they didn't even move at that comment.

"What do you mean? We already told you what we went through last night," Falla asked curiously. Apoch and Astreal were watching the two boys, noticing that they weren't giving any reaction to hearing that.

"What I mean is, you being a monster and all, and a powerful one too, did you feel scared or anything when you… were…" Kyouko said before she trailed off, looking at the two boys curiously as they weren't reacting. Apoch and Astreal glanced to each other then back to the boys.

"I was scared for my life yes, what are you getting at?" Falla asked shaking her head. She then looked to see the witch sisters watching the boys carefully.

"Did you do the assignment by chance?" Render asked Leon without looking around.

"I skimmed through it. Late night last night and all," Leon said simply.

"I hear that," Render said dryly.

"Did you hear me though?" Kyouko spoke up in disbelief. The two boys looked back to see her waving towards the three other girls.

"How… how can you two just act so casual?" she asked with disbelief.

"Well, for starters this is math class, and it isn't very exciting to us. Not sure how you feel about the subject, but still," Render said plainly.

"I don't mean that, I mean with them being here!" Kyouko cried out waving to the three other girls. The two boys looked to the girls then back to Kyouko. She stared at them expectantly then shook her head in disbelief when she got no further reaction out of them.

"They're monsters, ones that fought against that giant destroyer that was wrecking havoc!" she pointed out anxiously.

"Yeah, we heard about that. I'm pretty sure the entire school is aware of that fact," Render said with a nod.

"And?" Kyouko said with bewilderment.

"And what?" Leon asked simply. The girls looked at him with disbelief then to each other.

"You're not… surprised that we're here at all?" Falla asked. Render and Leon looked to each other then back to the girls.

"Um, should we be?" Render asked simply.

"I would think so, how can you act so nonchalant with monsters in the same room as you? Aren't you a bit curious? Or excited? Or scared? Or… something?" Kyouko cried out shaking her head. Render looked up for a moment then clapped his hands together.

"Oh yeah, that reminds me," he said with a look of wonder. The girls watched him curiously as he sat there for a moment before he looked back to Leon.

"What was the name of the villain in that monster movie we watched a few nights ago? It's been killing me thinking about it," he asked curiously. The girls staggered in their seats while Leon thought about it.

"Dr. Insanito," Leon said with a nod.

"That's who that was. Man that was driving me up the wall," Render said with relief.

"Hey, we just watched that movie the other night," Apoch said curiously. The boys looked back to her as the sisters nodded.

"Yes, that… was rather scary actually," Astreal said looking down worriedly.

"Scary? It seemed kind of lame actually. I mean I heard it was good, but the special effects… so cheesy," Render jested with a smirk.

"Waste of a rental if you ask me," Leon said shaking his head.

"Told you," Falla said flatly as she glanced to the two girls. The sisters glanced to her then looked down again with embarrassment.

"It seemed scary to us," Apoch said softly.

"I'm sorry, but could we forget about the crappy movie here for a moment?" Kyouko barked out.

"I wish I could, but it was so goddamned awful it's kind of engraved into my memory," Render said with a shrug.

"I can understand that," Falla said simply.

"That's not what I meant!" Kyouko yelled out.

Before anybody could say another word the door opened and a man darted into the classroom. He looked back into the hall as he quickly closed the door then over to the boys.

"There you two are. Listen up you-" Razico started to say with annoyance. He stopped walking towards them as he glanced over and saw the other occupants in the room.

"Razico?" Falla said in surprise. Render and Leon glanced to her as the girls looked with surprise at the warlock.

"Falla? Apoch? Astreal? What are you doing here?" Razico asked with surprise.

"We go to school here now, what are you doing here?" Apoch asked with bewilderment.

"You know these girls Razico?" Leon said looking back to the warlock.

"You know each other?" Falla said looking to the two boys.

"What's going on here? Hey, aren't you that guy that was with Tsukune during that fight with Alucard?" Kyouko asked. Render and Leon looked to each other then back to Razico.

"You fought against Alucard too?" Leon asked with a bit of surprise. Razico just nodded as he looked at the familiar girls in the human classroom.

"Wait…" Render said standing up. He stared at Razico intently as all eyes turned to him. After a pause he jumped in surprise.

"Who's watching over our car?" he cried out. The group blinked then looked back to Razico.

"What are you doing here Razico, and how do you know these two?" Falla asked. Razico looked from one group to the other with surprise then shook his head. He walked towards the two boys with discontent.

"You two can't just leave me out there all day while you go to your classes you know. I have better things to do with my time," he barked out.

"I gave you some string to play with," Render said softly.

"You wanted to follow us, it wasn't our choice to have you come with," Leon added.

"I wanted to keep you from destroying the world!" Razico snapped.

"Destroying the world?" Astreal asked looking to the two boys.

"Um… what is going on here?" Kyouko asked nervously.

"Would you give that a rest man? Nothing bad is going to happen alright?" Render assured with a relaxed smile. Razico grabbed him by the collar and pulled him close to his eye line.

"I'm not playing games here Render. If you want to play schoolboy here that's fine, whatever. But I'm not leaving without those keys!" he yelled out.

"Keys?" Apoch asked.

"I told you they're safe didn't I? Until I bring them out of the magical ether they're safe and sound from anything or anyone," Render said holding his hands up defensively.

"Magical ether?" Apoch and Astreal said in surprise.

"Wait… you're not human are you?" Falla said looking to the two boys. They glanced to the girls then back to the warlock.

"That's why you're not intrigued by our visit here, you're one of us," Apoch said in wonder.

"You're a monster too?" Kyouko said with surprise.

"Well great, secret's out now. Thanks a lot Razico old buddy," Render said flatly.

"I don't give a damn about your secrets Render. Now hand over those keys," Razico said as he pushed the kid back towards his friend.

"What's going on here?" the sisters asked in unison.

"What keys?" Falla asked.

"Well well well," a voice said from behind. Everybody looked to see Ceal walking into the room with a raised eyebrow.

"What the hell, he's here too?" Razico shouted as he turned to face the student, getting into a defensive stance. The girls looked from him to Ceal cautiously.

"You know him too Razico?" Falla asked.

"So the hunter decided to tag along after all," Ceal said plainly as he walked over and took a seat next to Kyouko and Falla at a table. He glanced to the warlock as the caster glared at him.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Razico demanded as he kept on guard.

"Math class," Ceal said simply. He glanced to the girls then back to the warlock.

"Friends of yours?" he asked casually. The warlock jumped a bit then growled at the boy as his arm glowed a black hue.

"That's no concern of yours. Hand over the key you have, I'm making sure none of you open that thing," he demanded sternly. The boy chuckled and leaned back in his chair as the girls eyed him carefully.

"And why would I want to listen to a low rate warlock such as yourself?" he asked with an amused tone. He drummed his fingers gently on the table with his gloved hand as Razico watched him with frustration.

"Razico?" Falla asked cautiously as she looked from one group to the other.

"Hey buddy? You might want to get out of here before you cause a scene," Render said as he and Leon took their seats again.

"What? I'm not going anywhere," Razico said firmly.

"Yes, you are. Otherwise school security will make you and then we'll have an even bigger mess to deal with," Leon said looking to the clock.

"He's not going to hurt us bud, he needs us alive just as you do. I'm the only one that can bring those keys back after all," Render said glaring at Ceal. The boy merely watched him out of the corner of his eye. Razico looked around then to the girls who were watching him with confusion still.

"Just wait in our car and we'll come find you at lunch period," Leon said simply. The warlock lowered his arm as the glow faded. He glanced to the boys then to the door. If he was caught here like this that would only complicate matters more for him, and cause trouble for monsters in the human world.

"Razico?" Falla asked.

"Sorry, but this doesn't concern you girls. I don't have time to explain, just forget about it ok?" Razico said glancing to her. He looked to the door then back to the girls.

"It was nice seeing you again. Take care," he said as he headed towards the door.

"Hunter," Ceal called out. The warlock glanced back to him with discontent as the boy smirked. Everybody looked to him as he chuckled a bit.

"Thanks for the bike," he said simply. Razico growled as he clenched his fists. The warlock then quickly left as all eyes turned back to Ceal.

"You're… a monster too aren't you?" Kyouko asked worriedly. The boy glanced to her as his hand stopped drumming his fingers on the table. He then looked to Render and Leon, the two watching him with narrowed eyes.

"He's not going to help us, you know that don't you? We need to find another," he said simply. Render and Leon glanced to each other then back to Ceal.

"Who are you guys?" Falla asked looking between the three boys. Ceal looked ahead again as Render kept a close eye on him with discontent. Other students started to walk into the class as the next period was about to start.

"Well then…" Leon said looking back to the girls. They looked at him as he shrugged.

"Guess we have a lunch date."

The girls looked at him cautiously then to Ceal, the boy just looking ahead with a calm gaze as his gloved hand drummed lightly on the table with his fingers. They had no idea what just happened or why Razico was even here, yet they were getting a very bad feeling about it. Three of their classmates were apparently monsters, and had in their possession keys of some form that supposedly could lead to the world's destruction. The four girls glanced to each other worriedly, all of them knowing that they wouldn't be concentrating on the teacher's lesson very well now.


"It'll be ok Tsukune… it'll be ok…" Moka said shakily as she tried to hold back her tears.

Inside Moka's dorm room the place was a mess, with the furniture knocked around and the window shattered open. Clothing and bed sheets were strewn about on the ground from two students as a gentle breeze came in from the open window.

"Don't worry… we'll fix this… I promise…" she said worriedly as she choked back a sob.

The pink haired vampire was still naked while holding a boy down on the ground with all her might. Her rosary dangled over her neck as she was struggling to hold still, watching with watery eyes the boy she was holding down on the floor.

"Akua will be here soon… it'll be ok Tsukune…" she said worriedly.

She was looking down at Tsukune, the boy thrashing in her grip as she held his hands down near his head. The boy was still naked as well while he tried to kick the vampire off, the girl straddling him and trying to keep him held down with all her might. His eyes were crimson with white edges and were glaring at her, the boy growling like an animal as he tried to free himself from her grasp.

"I love you Tsukune… it'll be ok… I promise we'll fix this," Moka said as she looked to the open window. She had to keep Tsukune from getting out until his bloodlust could be slated; she had to keep him down until Akua arrived with blood packets for him to drink.

Tsukune growled and snapped at the girl with his fangs, the boy's eyes only showing him the glowing light that was her blood which illuminated to him. The smell of her blood, the pulse of her heartbeat, the sight of her blood was compelling him to charge her. His bloodlust had reached a critical state again, the boy being driven into a frenzy as his mind had only one desire, one thought that drove his body.

Feed.
