~Chapter I~
My name is Hijirikawa Masato, I'm 16 years old and I'm part of a very important family in Japan. My father is a politician and I have to follow his pattern of life and be a politician as well; even if I don't want to. Anyway until three days ago I was a normal teenager in the world, however I had a car accident a week ago and unfortunately I was on the verge of death. Nevertheless a doctor, which my parents thought of as someone normal, helped me to live. Yet I'm not a normal human being anymore, that's why I have had to come to this stupid school that no matter how many times I look at seems to be a palace.
"Really, why do people like to be so extravagant?" I sighed with my rhetoric question. Yes, because no matter how I tried to look for an answer, it would not be found easily. Anyways, as I was saying I had to come to this school to learn how to be a vampire. I, Hijirikawa Masato, the son of a very important politician in Japan became a vampire.
Ha ha ha ha! I can't help but laugh at this stupid new life. Vampires? They didn't exist, right? They are part of fairy tales, right? Then why the hell had I become one? Well of course I wanted to live with all my heart, I am young after all I have a lot to do yet, so when Ringo-sensei asked me if I really wanted to live; if I really had the strength to change my unfortunate destiny I said yes because I thought he was talking about a risky surgery. But no, he had been talking about the most improbable thing ever; vampires.
"Calm down Masato, just calm down. At least you're alive." I repeated the same phrase for the fifth time. Or more, I am not sure anymore. The only thing I know is that I am tired of being a vampire already. And my life as one hasn't started at all yet.
"Are you Hijirikawa Masato-kun?" A very tall man with orange hair and light blue eyes that remind me of two beautiful sapphires asked me, and even though I wanted to answer him he didn't let me because he interrupted me with his speech.
"Welcome to Saotome Gakuen, my name is Hyuuga Ryuuya and I'm a teacher at this school. Here you will learn how to live in this world as a normal human being. Tell me what you know about vampires please." Hyuuga-sensei said, and I'd like to be productive however I don't know too much about vampires. If I think about it the only thing that will come to my mind about them is, 'Vampires bite and suck a lot of people's necks to drink their blood because they love it.' Wait, if I think about this whole situation it means that I will also suck people's necks only to drink their blood?!
"Oh my God, I don't want to." I thought, already feeling desperate with my new way of life.
"Hijirikawa-kun…?" Hyuuga-sensei called my name to draw my attention. However I know somehow that man knows what I am thinking.
"Y-Yes Hyuuga-sensei?" I asked, playing dumb. I really don't know how much I can believe these people. I mean, they are vampires after all.
The man remained quiet only looking at me intensely as if I had done something wrong. He is scaring me, although I will never admit it to anyone. Yet it is normal to be scared of him or whoever appears before me right? What if he wanted to suck my blood right now? He could because… Ha, no matter who looked at him they would be able to see that this man was much stronger than I. So he could easily do it. Oh my God I can't believe that life brought me to this horrible destiny.
"Sucking your blood is an amazing idea Hijirikawa-kun." Hyuuga-sensei said and even if I was lost in my own thoughts, I was able to recover all my senses once I heard his terrible words. I knew it, this man really wants to suck my blood. What should I do? Screaming for help? Fighting against him? Killing him with a stake right over his heart? Wait, but I don't have a stake so the only solution to my problem would be screaming or fighting against him. But wait… If I think better about this then fighting would be the only solution because if I screamed then would appear more and more vampires and probably they would all join Hyuuga-sensei and suck my blood. Then even if I survived until now it was all in vain because I will just die at their hands.
"Yes, screaming is not a better idea, because you would cause a lot of commotion and I don't want anyone to interrupt us. However Hijirikawa-kun, fighting is also a bad thing to do because I'm a teacher and you would be in a lot of trouble. Probably you would be classified as a delinquent. Now that I think about that it would be a great thing to see, a converted being a delinquent. Then please go ahead and fight me." That man said with a big smirk on his face, completely convicted of himself. How can he be speaking and acting like that if he is a teacher? But damn he is right, if I fought with him I would be a delinquent and that is something I don't want to be. Wait, ther's something I can't understand. How the hell does he know what I am thinking about?
"That's easy to answer Hijirikawa-kun, you're a converted and all converted vampires think the same. Even if they didn't, all your expressions say your thoughts. Well it could be one of my gifts though, being able to read people's thoughts." Hyuuga-sensei said one more time answering my thoughts. However this time I didn't feel afraid, because what he said was extremely interesting somehow.
"Gifts? You mean having a special supernatural power?" I asked, surprising the man by the look on his face; his two beautiful eyes widened and his lips lightly parted in a small 'O'. Yet the man quickly recovered his composure with a grin that to me was completely unnecessary.
"I see, so you always know something about vampires. What more do you know about them?" Here we go again with the same question and one more time the same thought appeared in my head. Well I will have to say something, so why not take the risk? He doesn't seem to be as terrible as before, so I will just answer him and end our conversation.
"Well the only things I know about vampires are: they have supernatural powers, they are immortal and they love blood so they didn't mind to kill people only to drink their blood. Oh and they can't walk under the sun." After I finally answered what I feared before, with a very serious tone and face, the man in front of me remained silent only looking at me incredulously for a few seconds. However suddenly he began to laugh like an idiot, which made me feel really annoyed and want, in fact, to fight with him.
"Hijirikawa-kun you might be the most less-informed converted I ever knew in my whole life." Hyuuga-sensei said between his strong laughter. I on the other hand was starting to feel upset.
"S-Sensei," I began to say raising an eyebrow "I don't want to seem indelicate however I would like to know why you are laughing at me." Once I finished my speech the man stopped laughing and I felt anxious and nervous again.
"You're right I apologize for that. It's just that all your purity surprised me." He said and I felt my cheeks get hotter. This man made me blush, and right now I really wanted to kill him.
"It seems that you have a long life to live here at this school. It's alright we are here to explain you anything you need to know to get ready in three years and be back to normal life." He said and I simply nodded, so he could continue with his speech, "Despite the fact that all those fairy tales about vampires exist, they are not true at all. Besides you said something that didn't make sense, Hijirikawa-kun."
"What did I say?" I asked him feeling extremely confused.
"You said that vampires cannot walk under the sun right?" He asked me mysteriously.
"Yes, so what?" I asked him curious.
"Well if that's true then why are you walking under the sun?" With his answer I felt my eyes grow wider in shock. I mean I wasn't expecting an answer like that, besides how could I not remember that I was walking under the sun? This is so embarrassing! He must be thinking that I am an idiot, a converted and an idiot. Great, Masato, you're the best!
That man simply began to laugh at my face one more time and I blushed more. Then he stopped laughing and with one of his hands he pushed me forward as a sign to start walking, so probably he would take me to my bedroom, but I only hoped he could continue explaining me everything. I was completely curious and interested in vampires now.
"I will show you your room and the school, and then we will sit and talk about real vampires." He explained to me what I had thought a few seconds before. Well, at least I will be able to get rid of all my bags. I am starting to feel tired already.
We continued walking in silence through long and extravagant corridors, decorated with lots and lots of frames and flowers; mainly roses. The walls were white, no everything around me was white; this entire place was white with golden and red touches here and there in the frames and in the long corridors. If I already thought about this school as a palace now I was one hundred percent sure about that. This place is like a total fairy tale and from this day on I will be part of this fairy tale.
Hyuuga-sensei's hand remained gently pushing my back forward to continue walking. I don't trust this man yet, however after our little interaction with each other I don't doubt him as much as before. After a few more corridors we finally arrived at my room in this place from now on. Hyuuga-sensei opened the door and once I saw the size of my room I stood astonished. It was bigger than my original one at home, two or three times bigger. It had two king sized beds in a corner of the room, large windows in one of the walls, in a different corner of the room there was a red carpet with a large golden couch, there also existed a huge plasma and a small table between the couch and the extravagant screen. Definitely this place was too extravagant to me.
"Here we are Hijirikawa-kun, this will be your bedroom. Oh you also have a roommate his name is Jinguji Ren, but you will know him later. Now let's take a walk around the school and then we can talk about your new life." Hyuuga-sensei said smiling at me. However there was something in his speech that I hated to hear. I will have to share this bedroom with someone else; although it is huge I don't like this idea not even a bit. What about my privacy? I need it, and I don't like to speak too much. Jinguji Ren, who could he be? What would he be? What if he is someone too talkative? Or worst than that, what if he is someone who like to steal things from others? Oh despite the fact that he is also a vampire… What if he is one of those killers who love to suck people's necks? Oh my God then I will be in danger.
While I was panicking in my mind, Hyuuga-sensei pushed me inside the room and told me "Drop your bags here and let's go fast, we don't have all the time in the world." He seemed to be a little bit annoyed. Oh well it was my fault anyway. Without more waiting I just left there my bags and followed him. He showed me the dining hall, the living room, a few classrooms, the gardens and the way to the principal's office; in case that I had a complaint, and of course I didn't need to say that all those places were extravagant as well. Saotome Shining, the principal's name. Even his name is extravagant. No one is called Shining, I believe not even a vampire.
After a long forty five minutes of knowing this palace, we went to one of the classrooms that Hyuuga-sensei had showed me before. He said we needed to talk about my new life from now on, so I didn't complain and simply obeyed him by entering there and sitting in one of the chairs. Then without more waiting, because Hyuuga-sensei was always telling me how busy he was, we started our important conversation about my life as a converted.
"Hijirikawa-kun resuming our conversation from before, real vampires are not as you described at all. We do love blood but we aren't crazy by it to the point of killing people; although there are a few vampires who simply suck people's blood without caring about their lives. However blood isn't our unique feed. We can also eat normal food and drink water; I mean we need them to live. Despite of what pure people like you think, vampires aren't immortal, we only live more than normal people but we also die. And about stakes, well of course we would die, who wouldn't if anyone preached a stake on their heart? You would also die right?" At this point of our talk I was too shocked to answer. In all those 16 years of my life I always thought about vampires as monsters who only wanted blood, yet with this man's speech my fantasy about those creatures was completely changing.
"But pay attention Hijirikawa-kun, even if we can eat and drink water as a normal human being doesn't mean that we don't need blood. Of course we need it; otherwise we can die with lack of nutrients like a normal person. In the beginning we can drink all types of blood from anyone, however since the day you taste blood from your soul mate then you will not be able to drink blood from anyone else. About supernatural powers, we have them yes. We have speed and strength, however we also have extras."
"Extras? What do you mean by that sensei?" I asked him interrupting his speech. He doesn't seem annoyed, somehow he looks pleased with my question which is good to me. I even jumped the soulmates part because well it wasn't the most important thing to me, since I will never find a girl who will love me with all her heart.
"The extras are our gift Hijirikawa-kun. Do you remember me telling you about reading minds? Well that was an example of one of our gifts." Hyuuga-sensei explained me and I could feel my blood boiling inside of my body. I was excited with this new bit of information. Ringo-sensei had already told me that he had only helped me in part because of his gift, of course at that moment I couldn't comprehend all his words but now somehow everything is making sense in my head. All the small pieces of the puzzle are starting to join each other.
"So sensei, do I also have a gift?" I asked without more hesitation. I can't help it anymore, I just want to know more and more about this new world; this new life.
"I think, yes, you also have one, but I'm not sure since you're the only converted at this school. I know other converted who have gifts but I really don't know if all of them can have one, or only the most special ones." With his answer I felt a little bit disappointed. I can't explain why, however I knew how I felt. With this answer I also remembered some of Ringo-sensei's words, so I had to ask to Hyuuga-sensei about this. I wanted to be sure.
"Hyuuga-sensei is it true that converted vampires like me are despised by pure vampires?" I can see that Hyuuga-sensei felt a bit uncomfortable with my question, so by that reaction I got my answer. It is true that people like me are despised and probably, definitely it was the right word in this case, I will be completely despised by all vampires inside this school. Well it is good for me, as I said before I don't like to speak, so I don't need anyone here to be my friend. It isn't as if I wasn't used to this already, of course I am. In my old normal life I wasn't popular either so my new life will just be more of the same.
"Well don't do that face please, not all vampires despise converted ones like you. Look at me, I'm a pure vampire and I don't despise you." Hyuuga-sensei said trying to comfort me, however I don't feel comforted at all on the contrary I feel even more insecure at this place. Right now I just want to go home and forget about vampires because I already can see my future life here.
"How can I know that what you are saying is the truth, sensei?" I asked facing him determined with my own question. He got completely surprised because he wasn't able to utter a single word. I simply rose from the chair where I had been sitting and left that classroom without looking behind. I already knew how it would be and I really didn't need anyone to comfort me. Ringo-sensei told me that my problem was being too pure, too kind to people so I will just be someone cold and heartless. Vampires are suppose to be like that right?
x) haha Masanyan as a vampire poor Ren :3 *giggles* don't worry xD this won't be like Twilight though I like it haha but people just tend to think sh*t whenever vampires appear xD so I cleared things up :3
