Chapter One: My charge is Vampire food and I meet a snow angel.
You know I really do hate waking up early in the morning but work is work as they say. Whoever they are though better watch out, because I might just hunt them down for making up that saying. The current time was six am and I was rather groggy. As you may have guessed I'm not a morning person, however I still got up and got dressed out of my pajamas which consisted of a brown night shirt and black pajama pants. I was beginning to wonder if I should try any other color schemes besides black and brown. Shrugging I went and put on my hunters outfit and grabbed my precious hat and glasses. I never leave without them they're just too important. Plus expensive! The cost was at least a combined two thousand dollar purchase. But the best and toughest materials are always needed since I'm in combat a lot. I had a minor hope that Yokai academy will be rather peaceful, however knowing my luck it certainly wasn't to be.
Now dressed for the day I went to go eat breakfast, today I decided to make an omelet and some pancakes. The egg was stuffed with bacon, sausage, chives, and cheddar cheese. While the pancakes had chocolate chips in them. There were also four of them and they were quite huge. However I devoured all of it and drank it down with a glass of milk. When I was done and I put away the dishes it was six fifty, leaving me plenty of time to grab my things and go to the rift stone I used to travel to new worlds. Today instead of letting it take me where ever I gave it the coordinates the Chairman (A/n yes I called him the headmaster in the previous chapter and I'm sorry) gave me the night before. After putting them in a portal opened up for me and I went on through. When I arrived at the bus stop I was happy to be back in modern civilization. Although I knew I was in Japan instead of America my home country, it was still a nice change of pace.
Sitting down on a nearby bench I looked through my stuff to make sure I had everything. "Journal check, sleep wear check, books on monsters check, book on blood transfusion check, and assorted ammunitions and weapons check. Yep just an ordinary fifteen year old high school student. Ha! Yeah right!" Looking at myself I could see I was fifteen again, luckily my clothes change size as I change size so I was still good there. It was about eight when some other kid finally showed up. He looked like a typical high school student. His hair was black and a bit messy and he had brown eyes. Is physique was average but he seemed like a nice enough guy. He was also wearing a school uniform which consisted of a green blazer. A white dress shirt and tie, along with brown slacks and brown shoes.
Thinking he was a part of the academy I tried to sense out what kind of monster he was. I soon realized that his was my charge an ordinary human that looked rather wimpy. Oh great by the looks of things I have my work cut out for me. Trying not to be rude I turned towards him for some small talk.
"So you are going to Yokai as well?" Surprised that I was talking to him it took him a moment to answer.
"Yeah I am why are you as well?" I nodded my head to confirm that I was indeed going. "That's nice to know although why are you wearing that instead of the school uniform?" I thought for a moment and debated on whether or not I should tell him my real purpose. Or if I should just watch him as he figured it out on his own. Deciding that it was worth seeing I gave him a small smile.
"Well I've got special permission to wear this. Don't worry you'll see soon enough. By the way my names Hunter what's yours?" It wasn't like I needed to ask him his name since I already knew but it never hurt to be polite. Actually it does sometimes, whatever. He smiled at me and stuck out his hand, even if he was a bit intimidated by my looks he was still trying to be friendly.
"My name is Aono Tsukune, a pleasure to meet you Hunter san." Taking his hand I shook it. To be honest I knew it would take me a while to get used to the Japanese culture. The way they did names was rather strange to me but to each their own I guess.
"Well I hope we get along this year Aono." I decided to forgo the honorific because we'd be seeing each other a lot mostly with me saving his but. He then started to ask me questions about my life which I easily re directed back at him learning a few things about him. First off he has a cousin named Kyoko who's like an older sister to him and that he managed to fail all of the high school entrance exams. Really how dumb can you get? A lot dumber as I found out, turns out his dad picked up a school application form from a drunk priest who dropped it. More than likely that was Mikogami. Still who just picks up a random thing like that from some shady priest? Tsukune's father and mother it seems like. It turned out that even his mom was on board for the whole thing. Unfortunately before I could say something on their irresponsibility the bus drove up. Stretching I picked up my stuff and got on first.
The man who was driving the bus looked like an average bus driver only that he had glowing eyes and was smoking a cigar. I couldn't help but make a comment on that.
"You do realize those things will kill you right?" The bus driver gave a creepy laugh much like the Chairman but he still answered me.
"They might but I'm sure those demons you hunt will kill you first before these things get me."
"Touché." What else could I say? He was most certainly right about my life expectancy, however as I moved to take a seat in the middle of the but on the left hand side Tsukune got on board. I laughed at the look the kid had on his face when the bus driver gave some of his "advice". He then moved to the seat to my right and got out a phone. He ended up calling his cousin so not wanting to eavesdrop I opened my book on blood transfusions. However this wasn't about the medical procedure. No it was about how to convert monster blood into power. It was rather informative, I only stopped reading when we entered a tunnel and Tsukune lost connection with his cousin. Watching I could see that we had just went past a barrier, and that we were now in an new dimension one made for the school to be specific.
When we came out we both got a good look at the school and the surrounding area. The school was fairly normal except for the part where it looked slightly like it was haunted. Between us and the school was a forest of dead trees. To the sides was a red ocean, I knew it wasn't blood but if it was I would have a field day. Looking up I could see that the sky was also red and cloudy. More than likely all of the red was due to the barrier surrounding the place. Tsukune freaked out a bit but I remained calm ready to get off when the bus stops. After a little bit longer the bus stopped in front of an old bus stop sign. I got off and gave a quick salute towards the bus driver and waited for Tsukune to get off. When he did he turned to thank the bus driver who gave another creepy chuckle.
"Good luck kids, you'll need it after all… Yokai academy is a scary place." After saying his piece he closed the bus doors and drove off. We started walking and soon we were passing some sort of graveyard.
"Well it seems like some doctor hasn't been doing a good job." Tsukune only nodded at my comment, I could see that he was shaking a bit but both of us were startled when a bat flew right in front of us.
"Hello I'm a talking bat!" It said that rather cheerfully and then flew off.
"Ok even I didn't expect that. Now Aono before we go any further you should know some things and… What's that noise?" I stopped talking when the sound of a bike chain started to come towards us. Looking off deeper into the woods it was too late for Tsukune. All I heard was a "Get out of the way!" Then a pink and green blur ran over the normal human next to me. I ran over to see if he was still alive, and he turned out okay. I took a careful look at what had hit him. It was a girl with bubble gum pink hair that goes down to her knees, and had a heart shape face with bright green eyes. She was also wearing what I guessed was the standard female uniform that consisted of an almost identical top and a short skirt that in my opinion was just a bit too short. Around her neck was a chocker with a jeweled rosary attached to it. However the thing gave me an uneasy feeling and I didn't know why.
Besides that the girl was rather "shapely" and was quite cute. I looked behind her to see that see was riding a bike, more than likely she lost control and ran into Tsukune on accident. I laughed at the poor guys expense, Tsukune managed to finally recover and noticed the girl in front of him and realized his hand was on her thigh. He quickly jumped up and started apologizing while helping her up.
"Oh no I'm sorry, you see I get dizzy sometime because I'm anemic so I lost control and ran into you."
"Oh no you're fine no harm really done I'm Aono Tsukune by the way. My friend over there is Hunter so what's your name?" Smiling and brushing herself off a bit she introduced herself.
"My name is Akashiya Moka a pleasure to meet you both." She then looked at Tsukune with shock. "Oh no the side of your head is bleeding!" Sure enough there was some blood but really it was only a scratch. Truly he was lucky since being hit with a bike at that speed usually caused more damage. He also had a cute girl fawning over him. Taking out a handkerchief she dabbed the spot where he was bleeding. However she then started to sniff him. Huh if she's doing what I thinks she's doing it will be fun to see his reaction. Moka than started leaning in towards his neck.
"You smell so good." Well that's not creepy. "Sorry but you see I'm a vampire." With that she bit into his neck electing a small yelp of pain from the human. Laughing I decided to go on ahead.
"Well Aono I see that you're busy so have fun with the bubbly vampire!" He started calling me a traitor as a walked off laughing. When I was out of sight I decided to speed things up a bit by using the voidwalker ability called blink. This allowed me to teleport short distances. After three blinks I stopped a bit because I felt a presence behind a tree. I didn't feel malicious though, instead it felt oddly lonely and cold. So deciding to be nice I called out to it.
"Hi I know you're there how bout we introduce ourselves." I waited patiently for whoever it was to come out of hiding. When the figure did come out it was a beautiful girl with long light purple hair. Her eyes were blue with some purple her pupils were also blue, and her skin was fairly pale. Paler than Moka's who was a vampire. She wore a light brown pleated checkered skirt and a white sweat shirt with long blues sleeves with a black singlet underneath. Around her neck was also some type of yellow pendent. She also wore light and dark purple striped stockings with a belt around her left leg. Her sweatshirt also had a pouch. In her mouth was a lollipop of some kind. Currently her hands were holding onto the tree she was hiding behind and giving me a weary look.
When she spoke it was soft and quiet suggesting she was rather shy around new people. "Most people don't tend to notice me and simply walk past. But you not only knew I was here but called out to me why?" I decided to be gentle at this moment and gave her a warm smile.
"Well sensing energy is one of the things I'm good out. You'd be amazed at how much it could help you in a fight. As for calling you out I felt that you were lonely and decided to be friendly." She looked at me in surprise before giving me a sad smile.
"Thank you most people tend to ignore me because of my cold exterior." I gave a slight wave of my hand while scoffing.
"Well their loss than, personally I really don't mind the cold." This brought a true smile to her face and she walked over to me and stretched out her hand to shake mine. I grabbed her hand lightly as to not hurt her with my demonic strength.
"Shirayuki Mizore now what's your name?" I smiled and pulled my hand back while putting them into my coat pockets.
"I'm hunter a student and employee of the school." She raised an eyebrow at my statement.
"Employee? What do you mean by that?" I motioned towards the direction of the school and we started walking before broaching the subject.
"Well I was hired to protect someone while they went to this school by the Chairman. You'll probably meet him soon enough but can you keep a secret?" She nodded her head while acting as if she was zipping her lips. Nodding my head I continued, "Well the person I'm protecting is someone named Tsukune Aono, a normal human which the headmaster brought over to increase relations with Yokai and humans. However he is rather wimpy and wouldn't survive too long so he asked me to come and make sure he survives." Mizore folded her arms and nodded her head.
"That's quite the risky gambol he's taking. I take it this is why you're dressed like that?" She pointed out my outfit, and I only smirked a bit.
"To be honest I would've worn this anyway but yes, besides your clothes aren't the standard uniform either. Plus I love my look it's pretty cool."
She gave me her own smirk at my comments. "Touché and I guess it does look good on you. However I'd feel more comfortable knowing what you look like." I debated in my mind about what I should do. Shrugging I lowered my mask and took of my hat and glasses. I gave her a bright smile while realizing I had those things on the whole time. So in truth she couldn't have known that I was smiling the whole time.
Darn it! I'm such and idiot! "Got that right moron!" Hey no one asked you! Yep yet another reason why I'm crazy, as it turned out the demon side of me has its own consciousness, however it can't actually do anything but instead insults me constantly. Truly it's annoying; still I didn't let my annoyance shine through my smile. Mizore blushed a bit and turned to look forward.
"Well at least I know you're rather handsome and not some creep trying to take advantage of me." I raised an eyebrow and put my glasses into my front void pocket. I'll never not be thankful to myself for deciding to put that on my coat. It can fit as much as I can carry in it and in order to retrieve something I just need to stick my hand in there while thinking of the object I want. Then I close my fist and I drag it out. I also decided to keep my mask down but put my hat back on. Looking at my phone I realized that we were going to be late.
"Seems like we don't have much time left before the ceremony." She adopted an upset look and quickened her pace before I put my hand on her shoulder to stop her. "What you said that we're going to be late for the opening ceremony."
"Yes but I can get us there much faster just trust me a bit." Hesitant she nodded her head and I picked her up bridal style and started running at max speed. Suffice it to say we were at the front gates of the school when I put her down. Mizore was a little ruffled from the fast travel but looked okay.
"Wow I never knew anyone who wasn't a werewolf could move that fast. What are you exactly?" This time it was up to me to ponder for an answer. Truly I didn't know what I was, but my guess I was something of a cross between… Pseudo vampire, demon, and human but I told her I was a voidwalker instead, seeing how the mark on my left hand designated me as such. This however only confused her more.
"Yeah I know it's confusing but we voidwalker's have interesting abilities. In fact some of mine allows me to control wind and ice." Mizore looked at me delighted when I mentioned ice.
"That's great! You see I'm a Yuki-Onna or a snow woman so meeting someone else with abilities over ice is rather nice." I smiled and nodded my head while we headed inside to the auditorium. It was rather warm so we took some seats in the back and I lowered the temperature around us a bit. Making it more comfortable to the purple haired beauty sitting next to me.
"Thanks it was getting a bit warm." I only smiled at her and turned my attention towards the stage where a man dressed as a priest in white robes with glowing eyes, started talking about the school. Really it was just regular school initiation stuff. During the middle of it a staff member came up to me and told me to go to the head masters office when the assembly was over. Nodded my head to show that I understood, and told Mizore that I'd have to leave her after this, however we decided to get together during break. After it was over we said our goodbyes and I followed a map to the headmaster's office. I opened up the door and went inside. Inside the room was rather dark and the only light source was a lamp on Mikogami's desk.
"Well it's nice to meet you in person Chairman." He gave me a large smile while intertwining his fingers.
"Likewise Mr. Hunter anyways sit down this will take only a moment." I pulled out a chair that was in front of his desk and sat down and motioned for him to continue.
"Anyway I won't you to know we've put you in all of the boys classes, and that your dorm room are right next to each. Here's the key, your class schedule, a note saying it's okay to be wearing your outfit, a map of the school, and a note excusing your tardiness. Now any questions?" I thought for a moment before answering him.
"Yes actually there are two things. One is there any group of people I should avoid, and two I told a girl named Mizore information about my job. Is that okay?" Mikogami thought for a moment before answering my questions.
"Well you should avoid the student police if you can. Originally they were made to keep order at the school. Now they're nothing more than a bunch of degenerates abusing their authority. As for your second question I'll let you decide on who you should tell. Now you're dismissed I still have paper work to do." Getting up I gave him a quick bow before leaving the office. Following the map I had I thought about what I had just learned. At the very least I now know who to stay away from and I can still wear my amazing outfit.
"Let's see here Miss Nekonome Shizuka eh?" Finally making my way to my home room I opened the door to while apologizing for being late. My teacher had short sandy blond hair; the top part was shaped like cat ears. She also was wearing red rimmed glasses, had a white blouse. She was also wearing an orange skirt and low heeled sandals. She turned to me when I came in and I handed her both my tarty slip and my permission slip. She took a look at both of them then handed me back my permission slip while nodding.
"Well don't worry about being late Hunter san just go and find a seat." I gave a slight bow and searched the room for a seat. Surprisingly I saw Mizore waving at me from the corner of the room on the right side next to the windows. Two seats in front of her was Tsukune that was slightly glaring at me. Most likely from me leaving him in the woods, moving over I sat in between them.
"Hi Aono hi Shirayuki it's good to see familiar faces." Mizore smiled while Tsukune just sighed.
"Please just call me Mizore Hunter." I smiled back and took off my hat laying it on the floor next to my seat.
"Sure Mizore, so anything happen after initiation?" She just shook her head and we turned back towards the front of the class. Ms. Nekonome was starting to give the welcome speech.
"Hello everyone my name is Ms. Nekonome and I'll be your homeroom teacher from now on!" Well she seems cheerful. Judging by his body language Tsukune had the same thoughts as I did. Apparently he hasn't figured out that he's in a school full of monsters yet.
"As you know already this school is a school for monsters!" I counted five seconds before my charge froze up and what she said actually hit home. Apparently having your blood sucked by a vampire wasn't a big enough clue.
"Now the humans currently control the planet with their large populations. As such this schools job is to help young monsters integrate into human society." Tsukune was now shaking like a leaf so I quickly wrote a note that said calm down and tossed it over onto his desk. He looked back to me and then read the note. It seemed to work slightly as he turned back to me and gave me a thankful nod.
"That being said you need to stay in human form at all times. Except during emergencies of course!" To our right a big guy with brown hair and brown eyes spoke up over everyone.
"Well don't we just kill and eat the human males and do what we want with the females?" The guy had just made my hate list. So far it only hade five people on it now including him, Ms. Nekonome picked up a class roster to look to see who he was.
"Ah Saizou Komiya is it? Well as I said if we did that they'd just go and hunt all of us down with their advanced weapons." To her credit she seemed a little put off at what he said. Around the room I could hear comments about his character. Allegedly he was forced to come here thanks to his bad behavior in the human world. He was definantly going to be a pain latter.
"Well say what you want but I swear I've been smelling a human since coming here." At this point Tsukune started to freak out again and this time I had to chop him on the head to make him stop. The teacher looked at us funny so I just waved my hand at her. She then turned her attention back to Saizou.
"Well it is impossible for a human to come here thanks to the barrier which is up around the school. If a human did end up coming they'd most likely be put to death to secure the secrecy of this school!" I sweat dropped at that since she said it a little bit too cheerfully. I had to hit Tsukune again who turned to glare at me. Sighing I raised my hand.
"Yes Hunter kun?"
"So this school is about coexisting with human's right?" She nodded her head in confirmation. "So why would we kill them then if it's our goal to get along with them?" There I said it, all hail my ability to confuse the entire class! At the moment I was rather upset with the rules, understandably I used to be human but now I'm more of a border being. Not to mention these rules will make it harder for me to keep Tsukune alive! Thinking a bit she bit her lower lip and seemed to realize I was kind of right.
"Well to be honest you have a point there but that topic is best discussed with the Chairman." I nodded my head as everyone started to talk about me, everyone was wondering about my clothes and why I would ask such a question. Although I did hear some girls say I was cute, however I just ignored that. Saizou however was giving me the stink eye, which I returned with a smirk. This seemed to tick him off but before he could say anything the door to the classroom opened up.
"Sorry I'm late! I ended up getting lost after initiation." I looked up to see Moka standing there in the door way. I found it interesting that all of us had the same class; I figured Mikogami had his hand in it though. At least when I came to me, Tsukune, and Moka, Mizore was a happy coincidence for me. But what the pink haired vampires part in this eluded me. Turning her head Ms. Nekonome smiled and waved her off.
"Don't worry just find a seat." Moka looked around and found Tsukune who was just as surprised as she was that they were in the same class.
"Tsukune!" After yelling out his name she ran over to him and gave him a bone crunching hug. "I can't believe we're in the same class together!" The male students were now glaring at the poor human for having such a cute girl fawn over him. This just made my job harder again! Now I had to make sure no guys came over and tried to kill to win over Moka's affection. Sighing I slammed my head on my desk; Mizore saw this and understood my frustration. She gave me a comforting pat on the shoulder and smiled at me. It worked and I smiled back, after which Moka stopped hugging him and took an empty seat to his right. So far the only good thing that's happened to me here has been meeting Mizore. Nekonome talked a bit more about the general rules and the different class times, after which she handed us our keys and directions to our rooms and dorms. For me she just gave me my directions seeing how I already had my key.
When she was done handing everything else the bell rang. "Well that's it for today! You now have the rest of day to explore to school just make sure to be in your dorms by curfew." Everyone cheered a bit and before I could react Moka grabbed Tsukune's arm and dragged him to go explore the school. Me and Mizore both looked at each other and decided to quickly follow before he gets eaten by something.
When we exited the classroom I yelled out to them. "Hey wait up guys!" Luckily they heard me and waited for us to catch up. "You know you're faster than you look. Plus you never said hi to me in class." Moka looked at the floor sheepishly while putting her hands behind her back.
"Sorry it's just I didn't notice you." I gave her a dry look.
"Didn't notice me or too busy looking at Aono here?" Both teens turned red at my comment which made me and Mizore laugh. I then remembered that they didn't know each other yet. "Oh yeah this is Mizore Shirayuki, Mizore this is Tsukune Aono and Moka Akashiya." They all gave each other a quick bow before we started walking off with the girls in front. I walked over to Tsukune and talked low enough so only he could hear me.
"So how're you holding up? Must be scary going to a school full of monsters." He gained a strained smile before answering me.
"Yeah I still can't believe it. How about you aren't you human?" I shook my head a bit.
"Well sort of I'm more like a boundary being. I used to be fully human but now I'm something called a voidwalker. So you know Mizore already knows about you to so if you need help you can come to one of us."
"Thanks I'm sure I'll need it." I gave him a reassuring pat on the back while we made our way outside and stopped in front of a vending machine. Moka ended up getting a can of tomatoes juice. Which I looked at in confusion, when did vending machines full of soda have tomatoes juice? Tsukune got a melon soda, while Mizore got a grape I myself didn't buy anything.
"So Mizore what do you think of the school so far?" She turned to me and thought for a moment.
"Well I think I'll like it here, and our teacher is rather nice. How about you what do you think?" I thought about everything that's happened here and rubbed the back of my head.
"Well to be honest it seems nice here however I still have my work cut out for me. But I must say getting to meet you was definantly the highlight of my time here so far." She blushed a bit and went back to drinking her soda. She stopped when we both heard a cracking sound to see that Moka had an embarrassed face and Tsukune was in the wall. Yeah normal human… That would break some bones if they were normal. I went over and pulled him out of the wall while Moka was apologizing. That's when my good mood soured completely.
"Hey what are a couple of cute looking girls like you hanging around these wimps?" We all turned around to see Saizou walking up to us. I scowled and narrowed my eyes at him, mentally preparing myself for a fight. I stepped in front of him giving him an evil glare. He laughed at me and apparently didn't get the hint.
"Well now seems like someone has some back bone. But take my advice and leave, before I decide to kill you that is." I started smiling than laughing which seemed to really tick him off. "What's so funny punk?!" I stopped laughing and changed my face to a smirk.
"Oh you are of course. I find it rather amusing that you're trying to intimidate someone much, much stronger than you are monstrel." He took a few steps back after hearing me say what he was.
"How? How could you know what I am?" Before things could escalate Moka grabbed Tsukune's arm.
"Hey I think we should go now, and sorry Komiya san but I want to hang out with my friends who are nice people." With that said she ran towards a building dragging Tsukune. I and Mizore followed shortly after, I looked behind me when I heard a crash and saw that Saizou had punched the vending machine in anger. I knew I would have to keep an eye on this one. The four of us ended up on a roof of one of the buildings. Moka held her right hand to her chest while slowly exhaling.
"Man that was scary. I hope we don't run into him again." I would've pointed out that he wasn't that scary and that we were in the same class together, but I didn't want to rude and therefore said nothing. "Oh yeah by the way what kind of monsters are all of you?" Tsukune looked a little panicked and before I could say anything Mizore came to his rescue.
"Sorry but it's against the rules to tell anyone you're true form." Moka realized that was true and apologized while Tsukune gave a thankful look towards Mizore who just nodded her head. He then turned back to Moka.
"What about you? I already know what you are." She laughed a bit while rubbing the back of her head.
"Well that was before I knew of the rule. Besides you were my first." Whoa there I hope she means something else because that would mean Tsukune works fast! I me and Mizore turned towards Tsukune with a look, we saw a surprised look on his face as well. Luckily for everyone else Moka wasn't finished, her face was now red and both her hands were on her cheeks. "You were the first one I've ever sucked blood from." Thank the outsider that's what she meant. Everyone sighed in relief and Moka gave us a confused look.
"You do realize that what you said could've been taken in many different ways right?" Her face lit up with realization and turned completely red. She then proceeded to apologize many, many times. I had to actually tell her to stop in order for her to quit apologizing. Tsukune than asked a question that has been also bugging me a bit.
"You know Moka you don't seem to really fit the norm of a vampire. In fact you're rather nice and not scary at all." Laughing a bit she pointed to the rosary around her neck.
"That's because of this, you see this seals my powers. You see when I was younger I went to a human school, and in order to fit in I was given this. But when it comes off I turn into a scarrry vampire." She said that part of a fake scary look which made everyone laugh. "Hey if my rosary every came off would you guys still be my friends?" We all smiled at her while Tsukune put his hand on her shoulder.
"Of course we would Moka. After all I'm sure you're still the same even if you're unsealed." Moka gained a look of joy and started hugging him. After a bit she then started sniffing him. I realized what was happening but only smirked. Never get in between a vampire and it's snack is what I say.
"Sorry Tsukune you just smell so good." Before he could react Moka sent her fangs into his neck and started drinking. He cried out in pain and starting yelling out for help, while me and Mizore just laughed at the scene. Seeing that it was getting late we left the roof to go to our dorms. On the way there Tsukune stopped and turned towards Moka.
"Hey what do you guys think of humans?" Oh great please don't tell me he's doing what I think he's doing. Mizore answered him first.
"Well I've never really met any before and I don't really judge a species as a whole and only judge individual." Tsukune nodded and turned to me, I decided to give him my honest opinion.
"Humans and Yokai might hate each other. But to me they are pretty much the same, they both act and think quite similarly. So really I hate both equally while loving individuals a lot more." Everyone thought of what I said and nodded. "So Moka what do you think?" She took on a sad and angry look.
"Well I hate humans! When I went to school everyone made fun of me and picked on me! They also kept calling me a freak and blood sucker!" It was obvious to me that she told them she was a vampire and they didn't believe her. However kids are cruel and most likely gave her a really hard time. Mizore patted her on her shoulder and gave a sympathetic look which she returned with an appreciative smile. We all turned back to Tsukune who looked to be struggling with something.
"What if I told you I was a human?" There it was, the thing I was dreading. I could only slap my face when he said that while Moka looked shocked and back a few steps away.
"But you can't be no human could get into this school." I decided to speak up before things got any worse.
"Actually it can Moka, you see this was all the Chairman's idea." Both Moka and Tsukune turned towards me in confusion and I continued. "You see the Chairman decided to take a gambol and let a human enter the academy this year. Why he chose Tsukune not even I know, and before you ask I know this because I was hired to make sure he survives his time here at the academy. Really it's a plan to get humans and Yokai closer together. So don't fight you two and just get along for now." Tsukune and Moka looked at each other and shook hands.
"Alright I think I'll give it a shot if you will Tsukune." Tsukune laughed and let go of her hand.
"Well if this is that important I can't run away now. Plus I don't mind having Yokai as friends, in fact I feel safer knowing Hunter here is my personal body guard." My eye twitched a bit.
"Sheesh is that all I am to you now?" Everyone laughed at my expense and we all headed off to our dorms except for Moka who said she needed to talk to Tsukune about a few things. We waved goodbye but not before putting a danger sensor charm on her. She didn't notice me casting the spell, but now I would know if she got into trouble. I'm actually quite paranoid so I always try and prepare for anything that could happen. So lucky me that my paranoia paid off as I felt the charm warn me that they were in danger.
"Mizore they're in trouble so I now have to go do my job." I turned to leave but she stopped me.
"Sorry but I'm going with you." Deciding not to argue I only nodded my head and picked her up and using my speed I ran towards the others location. When I arrived things weren't looking to go Tsukune was bleeding and rather, Moka was calling out his name, and a large muscular monster was standing over them. I recognized his energy as Saizou. Putting the snow woman down I called out to them.
"Hey!" They all turned to see me and Mizore marching up to them. "Mizore go see if they're alright I'll take care of Saizou." She nodded and ran off to them as me and the monstrel walked towards each other.
"So I see you decided to show up. To be honest I was looking forward to beat you into the ground!" I sighed as he continued to rant; I never could understand why these people felt a need to speak so much before battle. So being me I blinked right up in front of him. He eyes blinked no pun intended when I disappeared and then took a step back as he saw me right in front of him.
"How did you…" I cut him off as I pulled back my right hand and punched him in the stomach. He flew back a long ways away coughing out saliva and blood. He rolled to a stop clutching his stomach in pain thirty meters back. He struggled to stand up all the while coughing. He turned to me even angrier than he was before. The poor fool had no idea who he was messing with.
"What are you?! Speed and strength? I just don't get it." I only smirked at him and took up a fighting stance beckoning him to attack me. Roaring in anger he charged at me.
"That was a lucky hit! Now let me return the favor!" When he got close enough he threw a hard left hook at me which I simply just dodged by backing up a step. Getting angrier he roared in frustration and started to send a barrage of punches at me. I dodged left, right, and down his attacks were just to slow and uncoordinated. My own battle experience surpassed his by far. It also didn't help him that I've faced opponents that were both larger and quicker than he was. So compared to that this was child's play, however fighting him was boring so after he threw another punch instead of dodging I grabbed it. His face was stunned and his look of anger slowly became one of fear.
"Well I see that you're out of moves, as such this is my turn." Paling I pulled him down to my level with his arm and hit him square in the face sending him far back again. He was now clutching his face howling in pain. However even I had to admire his endurance, even with the damage he took and the broken nose he still stood up. Sighing I started to walk towards him in order to finish him off. But before I took three steps I heard a clink from behind me, after which I felt an enormous amount of power appear behind me. Or at least enormous compared to everyone but me of course. Turning around I saw the Moka's Rosario was currently in Tsukune's hand and she herself had transformed. Her hair was now silver and her eyes were red. She looked a lot older and her demeanor was also cold. I fit the pieces together in my mind, somehow Tsukune had taken off her seal allowing Moka to assume her true form. When she spoke it was the voice of an aristocrat instead of the kind voice that I heard before.
"Well it's been awhile since I've been out. I take it you unsealed me?" Her question was directed at Tsukune who only nodded his head yes. She then looked at Saizou and sneered. "As for you! You want me? As if a low class monstrel could ever have me. You should learn your place!" With that she charged him and before the wounded monster could react she kicked him hard sending him flying through a few trees. I mentally told myself not to get on her bad side. By now I could honestly say Saizou was an idiot. Instead of just running away or lying down pretending to be unconscious he charged us again. Deciding enough was enough I blinked in front of him and delivered my most powerful punch yet. His eyes bulged and he collapsed to the side fading away into unconsciousness.
"They never learn do they?" Deciding to just leave him there I blinked back to Mizore and Tsukune. Moka was just watching me with curiosity while I took the Rosario from Tsukune. I walked back to he and offered it back to her. She turned her nose and head at me but took it back nonetheless.
"You know most would be groveling at my feet." I gave her a small smile and just walked back towards the others with her following behind me.
"Tsukune Aono you don't seem like much, however I must ask you look after my outer self while I'm sealed. Don't die as well since my outer self seems to like you and I myself find your blood quite delicious." She attached the rosary back to her chocker as if it never snapped off. "Well until next time." There was a small flash of light and she transformed back to her pink haired self. Moka than fell over but Tsukune was able to catch her.
"Well this was a thing and a half. Now let's all reflect on what we've learned today as we take Moka to the infirmary. That means you too Tsukune! After all we need to check out your wounds as well." There was no argument and we all made our way to the schools nurses office and dropped the two off there. I being a gentleman escorted Mizore back to her room where we said goodbye and I went to my room. Using the key I had received I opened my door to find a medium sized room with a kitchen, a small desk, a table with two chairs, a door to a bathroom, and a small closest and bed. Next to the bed was also a double window that opened outwards. On my bed I could already see that my bags had arrived. So I decided to unpack after which I made myself some pasta and Italian salad. After finishing I took a shower got dressed into my sleep wear and went to bed.
I reflected on today's events and grimaced knowing that today was just the first day. I unfortunately had a lot longer left on my contract. Setting my alarm I let sleep slowly take me, unfortunately my mind decided to be a jerk and gave me some nightmares. Thus waking me up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat, "You're so pathetic sometimes you know that right?" Now there was this moron, I decided to completely ignore and take pleasure in his frustrated yelling. Not being able to fall back asleep I got up and went to get a cup of water. However I felt a familiar presence outside and opened my windows.
"Mizore what are you doin out here so late." There was a small eep of surprise, followed by the snow woman who climbed into my room.
"Well I couldn't sleep and decided to see what your room looks like." She was currently wearing light blue pajamas, I motioned for her to come in and see looked around a bit. "I also have my own room since I'm a Yuki Onna and need the temperatures colder than what most people are used to." She then looked at me with concern. "I saw you earlier tossing in turning are you alright?" I leaned sighed and shook my head while getting out two mugs. I had started to bowl some water for herbal tea. It usually helped me calm down after an episode.
"No I'm not but I will be in a few moments." Looking through the cupboards I found I took out a box of vanilla tea. Mizore however was looking at me with concern.
"Do you want to talk about it?" While the water boiled I debated on whether or not I should tell her about my past.
I decided against it and shook my head. "No not yet at least. Maybe later when we know each other better, for now suffice it to say that it had something to do with my past. By the way you want any honey or sugar?" She shook her head while still giving me a concerned look but still took a seat down at my table. The pot started whistling and I turned off the stove and poured it into the cups with the tea packets in them. Waiting a few minutes I used my ice powers to lower the temperature of Mizore's tea. It was now chilled enough for her to drink without hurting her. Walking over I placed her cup in front of her while I sat in the opposite chair.
She was about to cool it herself when she noticed it was already cold enough. "Wow you even chilled it for me! Thank you." I only smiled back at her and drank my own. We didn't talk much instead we just sat enjoying each other's company and the feeling of not being alone. When we were done with our tea, Mizore got up to leave, I followed her lead and offered to blink her over to her room. She accepted and we were there in no time. I must thank the outsider for such a useful gift later. We said good night to each other, and she quickly kissed me on my cheek and shut her window. Chuckling while placing my hand where she kissed me I blinked back to my room and went back to bed. That night I received no more nightmares.
