Disclaimer: When I snap my fingers I shall own Yu-Gi-Oh! (snap) Dammit! Still didn't work!
Nami waited patiently in the office of the Tenma School for Demons, after she finally found enough courage to make it inside. Her suitcase and bags were down on the floor beside her and ShiShi was lying in her lap.
Subconsciously, she kept petting the neko while she waited to meet the principal to officially become a student. Although ShiShi looked like he was sleeping, his eyes were open and alert of anything moving in the room with the school secretary.
Hearing a beep, Nami looked up and saw the secretary meet her gaze and nodded, "Principal Pegasus will see you now. You may leave your bags in here."
She stood up straight and marched like a robot into the office adjoining this one, muttering a quick "Thanks" to the office girl, who gave a polite smile back. ShiShi bounded onto Nami's shoulder when she stood up and sat there, looking important.
After opening the door, she walked in a few steps to see a man sitting at a desk. He was wearing a strange bright red suit with some fluffy lace and he had pure white hair, which went down to his shoulders, covering half of his face.
"Ah, come on in! Have a seat!"
'He seems nice enough.' she thought as she cautiously walked forward and sat down in one of the two chairs in front of the desk.
Pegasus looked at this new girl with glee; she was wearing a navy long sleeve shirt with a white t-shirt over it and a pair of blue jeans. Her brown-red hair was up in a ponytail with some bangs and a lock or two framing her face. Her aura told him that she was a hardworking student.
"Welcome to Tenma's School for the Otherworldly! I am the principal and headmaster here: Maximillion Pegasus!" He stood up and shook her hand firmly.
'Well, his voice is creepy, but he still seems trustworthy.' Nami reflected and ShiShi nuzzled her cheek.
"So, you want to enroll here, by all means you are most welcome, but first," Pegasus started, digging out some papers from a nearby file cabinet, "We need to get some personal information."
At this Nami gulped while the man wasn't looking. This was where things got difficult, where she would either be accepted, or turned down on her ass in the street. Sweat just pilled up on her forehead and she quickly wiped it away.
"Alright," he took out a pen to write down her answers, "Name?"
"Nami Satoru."
"Age?"
"Fifteen."
"Interesting."
Nami felt the curiosity grow within her, "What's interesting sir?"
"You're Fifteen Hundred years old. I surprised that a vampire such as you waited this long to enroll in our school. Your in your middle years, I thought you would have been in sooner. Or if you're not a vampire, you are definitely in your later years, but it's never too late to learn, right?"
The sweat started to build again as she corrected him, "I'm fifteen sir, not fifteen hundred. Just fifteen."
"Oh, I see," Pegasus looked up at her and smiled, scratching his head apologetically, "I'm terribly sorry. I misheard you, a youngster eh?"
She bit her lip and bowed her head a bit. The principal noticed this and felt a little guilty, so after he corrected his mistake, he decided to give comfort the new girl.
"I understand that you're shy. It's understandable moving into a new school, but we'll help you with all of your learning needs. So, what is your race anyway?"
Nami's head shot up and she could feel her body freeze, "Excuse me?"
"Your race. You know, vampire, werewolf, lycan, demon…we have to write it down because certain students have different needs than others," he answered, putting his pen to his cheek.
"I'm…human…" she replied quietly.
"I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you."
"I'm human." Nami repeated hesitantly.
"I'm sorry, one more time?"
"Human," she spoke with a new confidence, though fear laced her words, "I'm a human."
She watched as Pegasus dropped his pen with his mouth open wide and Nami could feel herself flinch when it hit the desk. The principal started to mouth words, thinking of how to answer her statement.
"My…M-My dear, this is a school for d-demons…"
"I know, I'm a witch and I want to become a student in your school to learn."
"That's…" the headmaster continued to stumble through his words, "That's wonderful…for you to consider us, but I fear this school is not the one for you."
"Look Mr. Pegasus, I realize that there may be danger of my staying here, but I read your brochure and it said that I have the right to defend myself if anyone attacks me. I know quite a lot of magic and I assure you that it's not a problem." The witch insisted, ShiShi sitting up straight and listening intently on her lap.
"That may be true," Maximillion frowned, "But I am still concerned about your safety. It is my duty to see that all of my students are well and learning and I hate to say it, but some of my students are very dangerous. I'm afraid that the teachers won't be able to protect you."
"Well I would hope so," The man's eyes narrowed, trying to understand, "I come from a powerful family of witches and as long as I am able to use my magic to protect myself, they would be the ones you have to worry about. Besides, I would rather not be guarded by teachers, that's one reason I came to this school…to learn to be on my own."
Pegasus folded his hands together and rested his elbows on the desk, thinking this over. This girl in front of him seemed very determined, even if she was a little scared. He could feel how desperately she wanted to enroll into his school, and after much thought, he came to his decision.
"Alright. I will allow you into this school, but you must agree to my conditions."
Nami nodded in agreement, listening, along with ShiShi to his demands. She couldn't help but feel eager, this was it; she would finally be let in the school.
Mr. Pegasus closed his eyes and opened them, dropping his hands down to the desk with a joyful smile on his face, "You must promise me to keep alert and protect yourself and study hard, I do not tolerate slackers in my school."
The witch smiled in amazement before nodding vigorously, "I will sir! I have a straight A record that I'm not about to break!"
The principal nodded, "I expect nothing less. I will have one of our teachers, Ms. Ishtar see you to your dorm room and you will head to classes tomorrow morning."
Nami stood up so fast that she almost knocked over her chair. She shook the headmaster's hand enthusiastically several times as ShiShi grumpily climbed back up to her shoulder.
It was then that Pegasus noticed the cat and smiled, "Is that your guardian cat, Miss Satoru?"
At first, she was shocked at the question, then looked at her neko and smiled back, "Yep, that's ShiShi. It's alright that he's in my dorm right?"
"Of course! It's not like my word would change anything, he could follow you either way, am I right? Besides, some of our students are even hairier." He joked.
Maximillion Pegasus walked his knew student to the door of his office, his hand firmly on his shoulder. Opening the door, he quickly told the secretary to call Ms. Ishtar down to help Nami around campus before he said her final words to her.
"Welcome to this school."
After that, he regrettable needed to return to work and closed the office door as Nami sat down in her chair back by her luggage. ShiShi was sitting back down on her lap and rubbed against her hand.
"Well, you did it. You made it into the school for demons…what now?" asked the cat.
"Umm…I guess just go to class, get good greats, and pray I don't become lunch."
"Always a good plan."
Both jumped as the door to the main office opened and a woman entered; she had tanned skin and black hair down to her waist with some bangs framing her face. The woman wore a cream colored dress which swayed as she stepped towards the witch.
"You must be Miss Satoru," she said in a mystical voice.
"Um…yes…" Nami gulped.
"Don't be frightened. My name is Ishizu Ishtar and I am a teacher here. I'm here to show you to your dorm and around campus."
"Ok…"
"Come."
Ishizu walked out of the door and Nami had to hastily grab all of her suitcases and bags to not lose her. Outside, it was a lot brighter and the young witch was almost blinded by the sun, making her loose her balance and almost fall on poor ShiShi again.
Strangely enough, Ms. Ishtar didn't notice. She just smiled and looked up at the sun, breathing in the fresh late summer air. After a moment, she started to walk to a clearing between the several buildings that made up the campus.
Juggling her baggage, the new student laboriously ran after the teacher and almost slammed into her when she stopped suddenly. In result, Nami fell back onto her butt, her stuff raining down around her, but on the lucky side, nothing busted open.
"This is the Courtyard. It is mainly where students relax during break or after school hours if not in their rooms. From here, you can see the school, the cafeteria, and the dorms." she pointed to each in turn, starting with the largest building, next to the one they came from. In the middle, one of the smallest buildings stood, its doors wide-open and pleasing aromas coming from within. Next to that, on the far left was a structure almost as big as the school, obviously being the apartments, seeing the many doors on the outside.
The young girl's head moved in every which direction, trying to absorb all of the scenery. For being demons, the sure like to keep things tidy. There were flowers all over and several trees in the courtyard, making it seem all the more inviting.
"Come and I shall show you to your room."
Nami's attention snapped to the professor as she struggled to get up from the weight of her things. Once again, Ishizu did not notice and walked on ahead, leaving her to again, struggle to keep up. This time, Ishizu disappeared from her view and panic set in, but ShiShi nudged her face and twitched his ears, listening to her footsteps ring through the hall of the dorm.
The girl ran after the footsteps until she reached Ms. Ishtar waiting for the elevator in the open inside lobby of the building. When she reached Ishizu, Nami dropped her bags and glanced around her new home while catching her breath. The lobby was plain and there were elevators and stairs in the middle, leading to the walkways and rooms surrounding them in a rectangular fashion.
The ding from the elevator made the schoolgirl jump in surprise as she rapidly grabbed her baggage and ran into the elevator, fearing she was going to be left behind. The ride was silent as they stopped on the Fifth Floor, stepping out onto the balcony.
Ms. Ishtar strolled down the rooms, looking at the number posted on the front in brass letters. She came to one about in the middle and stopped; the room was a few from the elevator and a few from the end. Ishizu took out a key as Nami bent over to rest her aching back for a second as the teacher opened the door.
The door, saying 450 swung open on its hinges, creaking a bit as the two stepped into the room, the eldest flipping the light switch by the door. The room looked like a simple hotel room, though a bit with a more homey touch. There was a sitting room, which leads down to a door, the entrance to the bedroom. From the front door, on the left of the hallway was the bathroom and on the right was the kitchen. From the bedroom, there was a sliding door, leading to a balcony.
"I hope this room is fit to your needs?" Ishizu asked.
ShiShi had to bite his owner lightly on the ear to snap her out of her trance. The girl nodded up and down happily as she dragged her belongings into the living room and set them down. Then she leaned back, stretching the kinks out of her spine when Ms. Ishtar spoke again.
"Though you have a kitchen here, you may get a free meal at the cafeteria, breakfast is 6-9, lunch is 11-2 and dinner is 5-8 at night. There are vending machines in there as well if you are hungry at an awkward time in the night." She explained.
"Thank you."
"Oh, and about your cat. He is allowed to stay here as the headmaster said, but he is either to stay in your room or on the grounds. In other words, he is not allowed in the school building only, understood?"
Nami looked down at ShiShi would had made a perch on the armrest of the couch. The cat blinked and the teen nodded back at her teacher.
"Very well then. It is late, so you should get some rest and be prepared for classes tomorrow morning. Your schedule is on the bed as well as a leaflet with answers to some questions that might arise." She lectured.
"Yeah, thanks. Oh, just out of curiosity," Nami asked hesitantly as Ishizu started out the door, "What type of demon are you?"
"I am a vampire," she answer, showing her fangs in a gentle smile, "That is the most common among our students."
"Great…" the witch said sarcastically, "Well, thank you Ms. Ishtar."
With a bow, both of the bid the other goodnight and Ishizu left, closing the door behind her, only after hand Nami the key of course.
For a long instant, all Nami could do was stare at the key in her hand. She finally did it, she was a student at the famed Tenma School for Demons. She would have jumped for joy, save she wasn't so tired.
With some difficulty, she dragged her suitcase and backpack into the bedroom and placed it by the closet. The girl took the key and the information and placed it on the desk in the room and decided to get her school supplies ready for the next day. Knowing her, ShiShi would have to bite and claw her to get out of bed.
The last thing Nami remembered was standing over her bed, in her pajamas. She whispered a "Good Night" to her black cat and fell onto the bed, instantly falling asleep.
