Story 2: A Witch in Town

Chapter 1

The Newbie

Things seemed to had returned back to normal once everyone returned to the academy. After what happened over the summer with Isaac and the black blood they all just wanted to kick back and relax at the home away from home. Even though the last month seemed to had flown by without so much as a goodbye it kind of felt nice to be back at the academy. Things weren't all good at the academy however, as usual the Fight Club was just as loud as ever but what was it all about?

Everything had been going to great up until after school. Something had gone wrong and now Ryo had his arms pulled back behind his body while Gino kept him at bay. While they were fighting though Diataro was busy just watching, watching and sipping his stupid soda while his two friends fought. A real friend huh?

"I'm not doing it!" yelled Ryo.

"Yes you are!" replied Gino.

"I am not doing it woe!"

With a quick jerk both of them fell over one of the many desks that sat within the room but Gino was too quick as he grabbed his friend around his neck and pulled him back up.

"You're the youngest here and you'll do as I say!"

"I brought the fun! What are you bringing?!" he replied as he jabbed Gino in the stomach so he let go.

With quick movement he wrapped his arms around the reptiles body and prepared to nut him when his plan backfired.

"The pain!"

With a swift knee to the crotch Ryo was sent to his knees before his large friend pushed him down to the ground. Yeah it was just another day in the Fight Club for everyone and as per the norm there was always some kind of disagreement.

"Now do it." he growled as he pulled him back up and wrapped his strong arm around his neck.

"Alright, alright I'll do it!"

Anything to keep him from choking him any more than he already had. He might have had the power of a vampire but that didn't mean he would use it on his friends even if they were being dicks. Once he cracked his back so his spine straightened up he began walking to the door when he heard Gino talk.

"Get me some of those chips would you?" he asked as he pointed to the bowl of potato chips next to the soda.

Oh he did not just ask him that did he?

"Never!" exclaimed Ryo as he grabbed the bowl and threw it at Gino.

Once one fight started another one erupted. They weren't alone for long though for as soon as they began fighting once more the door opened as Minami and Naomi walked in and they didn't look too happy as they looked over the destroyed classroom, especially Naomi who was glowing with anger.

"Ryo...Gino..."

As soon as their eyes met hers they knew they were in deep shit as they held onto each other. They knew what was coming if they didn't explain what had happened and why everything was the way it was. It was either explain it to her or risk getting their sorry asses frozen for the hundredth. Once they were both good to go they jumped to their feet and stood as still as possible to try and not startle her into thinking they were trying to escape.

"Now listen Naomi I asked him to go take care of a simple situation but he refused and like hell I'm doing it." Gino explained.

"Simple? You call this simple?!" replied Ryo as he walked over to the window.

So what was it that was bothering them? A gang of punks? A group of wild monsters? A girl? No, instead before them sat a giant fucking eagle! Those eyes, they stared into their very souls as it sat there, mocking them. It knew they didn't have the guts to face it, they just knew it.

"That's not something you see every day." said Minami as she walked over to check out the bird.

Apparently her own little flying friend didn't like the creature either as it flew away and up into the rafters of the building.

"It's a bird, you guys seriously can't handle this?" asked Naomi.

"A giant bird mind you, if I was to go out there it would eat me alive. They just love a tasty lizard for dinner."

Of course all eyes came back to him as Gino explained why he couldn't go out there. Why him, it was as if fate just wasn't on his side.

"Well, are you gonna get out there or not?" Naomi asked her sparky friend.

"Hm, no veto." replied Ryo as he began walking back to his seat.

Suddenly the feeling of coldness rushed over not only him but everyone as ice began to fill the corners of the room. Oh how he despised her ice powers at times. Always with the cold and the ice and the temper.

"Fine..."

All he could do was hang his head not only in fear but misery. This bird was as big as the building and they wanted him to take care of it. Yeah not exactly the best idea especially when he was still in training to control his vampire powers. If worse came to worse though he always had lightning on his side.

"Oh...don't you think it was a bit harsh to send him out there without any backup?" asked Minami as she followed Naomi over to her desk.

"If we're to rid ourselves of that thing we need one of the strongest out there. He'll be fine."

"And he's gone." said Diataro as he watched the bird snatch their friend up by his jacket.

"What?!"

It was the sad truth, whatever dignity he had left had fallen out of his being as he was taken away by the giant bird. It wasn't that bad though, to fly through the sky was nice but he knew that as soon as they landed he was going to have to make a choice.

"Hey Ryo get back here boy!" yelled Gino.

"What did I tell you?!" yelled Minami as they watched the bird land on the roof of the gymnasium.

"Alright I'll go get him. Geez."

That wasn't necessary though, as soon as it dropped him a large bolt of red lightning rained down from the sky and struck the beast ultimately frying it's sorry bird ass. It wasn't long before that smoked chicken was hurled their way as he followed right behind it. Once he landed though they could tell he was not happy in the least.

"Now Ryo calm down. How were we suppose to know that thing was to carry you off?" asked Gino.

"Yeah it was only a twenty foot tall hungry eagle. What was there to be afraid of."

Once he raised his finger and saw that small spark starting to surround the tip they knew they were in some bit of trouble, but lucky for them he was interrupted by another voice not familiar to them.

"Oh no, Blitzle!"

When they looked behind them they saw a girl dressed in some kind of brown cloak and a jaged pointed hat. What kind of business did she have with them?

"Wait Blitzle, this is your bird?" asked Naomi.

"Mhm, I couldn't just leave him home alone so I took him with me." the girl said as she pulled out what looked like a stick.

With a flick of her wrist a green aura began spreading over their large feathered friend before the burn marks began to fade away.

"So you're a witch?" asked Diataro.

"Hehe yeah Malon Sendo at your service."

"Sendo? As in Yukari Sendo?" asked Minami.

"My mom? Yeah that's her."

"Wow, I heard she had a child but I didn't think you would be attending so soon."

"Yeah, when you brains you tend to do a bit of skipping. You must be Minami Aono though right? You look just like your mother."

It almost made her blush the way she compared her to her mother. Of course she had shorter hair but other than that she looked fairly similar and just as gorgeous.

"Tch let's get going. We still have some training to do." said Diataro as Ryo followed.

"Gino?"

It was as if he was in a trance of some kind. Not only was she nice and kind but that long brown flowing hair and that slender body just made him blush to no end. To him she looked almost like a goddess but a bit smaller. Could he have fallen for her already?
