Authors note: well guys, just climbed stone mountain twice! Great way to start the year! Anyways, here's the next chap, and it shows how much the story changes.

We were on the bus for near 2 hours, and had just entered a dark tunnel. And that's when I heard josh say the one thing to push me and the others over the edge. "Are we there yet?" He stated in a whiney voice. In the span of two seconds, I tore open a window, and Justin got up and lifted him out his seat.

"I swear if you say that again, I am pulling this shitty excuse for a bus over!" David yelled, foot covering the brakes. I just KNEW this would happen. Justin then pushed the kid over to the open window.

"Just keep going giant, me and the wolf got this." He then pushed the kid against the opening. "Now, I don't know about those two, but I am tired, need a bathroom, and am bored as all hell. Now ask yourself one thing lad, are you lucky enough to get away with saying that again?" The kid was damn near freaking out.

"Look man, don't you think you're going a bit far? I mean, he's just a kid…" I say, trying to get the kid to safety. I just opened the window to scare him, not traumatize him. "Look, we are probably close to the academy, meaning we get some air. And we can stretch our legs and not kill each other."

Justin then simultaneously shoved josh in a seat, pivoted and faced me. "Let's get one thing straight flee bag, that one time we got along is a rare sight. And as soon as we get there, I am leaving you three." I could see josh near the breaking point.

"b-but I thought….." he stammered, I had a bad feeling about this. This guy had major issues, but by the one time he was nice I could tell his heart was good. Why was he like this now?

"What? That we four were friends, sorry kid but no." As soon as Justin said that we exited the tunnel and made it to our stop, and I saw that the poor kids dreams were crushed. He then gave a smirk and jumped out the window, rolled on the landing, and ran. "See ya bitches!" I would have gone after him, but josh needed help, and david wasn't smart enough to help him. Though I could tell he wanted to kill Justin right about now.

"That son of a… I am gonna kill him!" He yelled, making his way to the door. I jumped between him and the door, and put all my weight in to a round house kick that went into his neck. It set him to the back of the bus, and through the back 3 seats.

"Look dave, we can go after him later. For now, we gotta calm josh down." I could tell he wanted to go after Justin, but he calmed down and saw my point. I then went and sat in front of a saddened josh. He might be 13, but he just lost someone that he thought was a friend. It still hurts bad. "Look kid, you just learned a very harsh truth. The truth is, not all people are nice. But Justin, he's a special case. See, I can tell he has problems of some sort, but I promise to get him to be your friend."

"'Sides, you still got me and Queb here." David said placing an oversized hand on josh's shoulder. Heh, turns out he was a giant with a heart. "If he's that much of an a-hole, he doesn't deserve to be your friend. But if we help him, he could be nicer. Come on, we gotta go off to the school." After that, he parked the buss and we were off. That is, until we saw Justin on the ground, and he wasn't alone. There next to him was a girl licking his nose. She had long pink hair, wore our school uniform, and they were both enjoying it. That's when I gave a wolf whistle, and scared Justin. The girl yelped in fear and hid behind him.

"H-hey guys…..what's up?" His cheeks were red. And there was a kiss mark on his neck. Oh I am going to have fun with this. David stepped forward, and he was WAY beyond pissed off.

"That's all you got to say!? You damn near made the kid cry." Justin looked down, ashamed. "Now, mind explaining what happened back there?" I could tell Dave was about to rip Justin in two, I just hope that our knight here talked fast.

Justin sighed, and looked up at Josh. "Look, its how I was raised, okay? My mom was a monster hunter as well as the reason why I am here. She taught to never have friends, and if I ever got close to anyone, I had to run fast. She taught me that cause she says innocent people would be hurt because of me if they were my friends. But one time I had a friend, his name was Zeke. Turns out, Zeke was a zombie. When my mom found out…..she" at this point, Justin had tears coming down his cheeks. "She killed him. And was coming for me thinking I was infected. So I ran from her. I came here to learn the truth of monsters, and meet nicer ones. I swear guys, I am trying to change."

The pink haired girl then hugged his neck close. She cared for him, and wanted to help. "Aww, come here." Her voice was sweet, and sincere. She nuzzled his neck. "That's the saddest story ever." As she did this, Justin's cheeks got redder, and blood shot out of his nose. I sweat dropped and was going to keep going. That is until the girl licked the blood up, smiling at Justin. It finally hit me, the reason for the mark and her licking his nose. This girl was a …..

"Holy crap, she's a vampire!" Came the voice of Josh, voicing my thoughts. I only knew a few things of vampires. For one, they only drank human blood and gained power from it. Another thing was that they left bite marks on the victim's neck. But all this one did was suck out the blood. She was also way too cute for a normal vampire. "My dad told me there were three types of vampires. The white court, feeding on pleasure. The red court, feeding on fear. And the black court, feeding on death." Well, that I didn't know this one seemed to belong to the white.

"T-that's right. My names Moka. Heir to the white court." That's when random rule hit me, and I had to get Justin away from these guys fast. The fact was, humans weren't allowed here. Even mages had a some monster blood in them. And if I could put two and two together….. oh shit! I quickly put on a frantic look.

"Hey Moka, mind if I borrow your boyfriend for a sec? Why not go with these guys, they're nice enough." Dave and Josh both shot me a quizzical look. "You guys got to check in our bags, and me and Justin need to take care of something back at the bus." I then grabbed Justin's wrist.

"Hey! Hold on now lad…" I then took off running, dragging Justin with me. As we made it to the entrance, I saw that I had pissed him off yet again. "What the hell man?! I have a chance with that girl. I am her only source of food. And you heard her, she's with the white court. My mom never even told me there were courts. She had me believe that all vamps were evil. But that white court…" He then began to drool. "A pleasure feeder. Plus an heir like her will need a knight."

I then smacked him on the head, hard. "You idiot! You're lucky those guys don't kill you yet. Do you know the one thing not allowed in the yokai realm?" He shook his head. "I swear, you're dumber than david!" I than took out the letter, and showed it to him. "Read this!" As he read, I saw, of all fucking things, a huge smile go across his face. "Dah faqu?"

"This is great!" he yelled a bit too loud. "First I find a girl I love, and now I get the challenge of being human a secret!? Best day ever!" I swear, this guy had a death wish. First he's bipolar, and now a thrill seeker? Shit! "Look man, thanks for the warning and all, but I was trained to hunt monsters you know. I can handle myself."

"F-fine, just don't do anything too rash." I really wanted this guy to stay alive, he needed friends bad. Then he looked me in the eye, still holding a smile.

"Now, where's the fun in that? Come on, we got to head to the others. It will be night soon after all." I agreed and we started walking. As we walked, he started humming.

Song insert: misty mountains by project pigeon

I knew the song well, and was surprised he did. And so, me and him took turns singing it. By the time the song was over, we were at the dormitories. "Welp, the home we each have for as long as we go to this school. Let's see who we're all living with." It was coed, meaning a 50/50 shot of living with a girl. There were 3 in all to pick. male, female, and coed. Meaning each could house a certain number. The coed was actually smaller than the other two, damn school board not trusting us with women. We went up to the front desk, and I saw that they only allowed 10 total in the coed. As it turned out, me and the guys I arrived with were all in a room with a girl. I saw Justin jump with happiness as he saw his roommates name. The name in question, was Moka. "You two keep it down, okay man?" I said jokingly.

He then unstrapped his sword, sheath and all, and smacked me in the head hard enough to force to face plant, my legs twitching. "You get one of those pal." He then took off to his room, Never to be seen again till morning. I then got up, and read the other names. I recognized none of the girls names, not even the one I had, Kurumu. Though I liked the name on its own. I then went to my room, but saw both beds empty.

"Great, a roommate with a night life." I then dropped my bag on the floor, and fell on the bed exhausted. Tomorrow my new life started, away from living in fear and making friends for once.
