Demonic Monsters

Chapter 3

First Day of School Part 1

Hiei wanted to kill. That statement was never more true than at this exact moment. His sister, 'that is still weird,' and her friends all chose a vampire boovie to watch while he chose to sit in the rafters on the ceiling and listen to everyone else. Why did he want to kill so badly right now though, because after choosing the boovie, Draculaura kept on aggravating everyone with facts and other things that went against the boovie's plot. He also found it annoying how everyone was obsessing over an actor on screen who is clearly the same person. If they looked at the listing on the poster like he did than they would see only two names on there, not three like they might of guessed. He didn't want to kill them because they kept on talking during the boovie, he wanted to kill them all because they liked this overacting crap and wouldn't let him go to sleep.

Oh great, now they are all booing his sister and throwing things at her, but it is her fault for not thinking this might happen if she didn't shut up. Now they were walking out of the theater and he knew that they were going to start to yell at her and probably make the weakling cry. Hiei thought about saying something to them but decided against it because she should have thought more about what she was doing.

"Thanks for talking the whole time," a minator said sarcastically as he walked by.

"Make way, it's her royal fakeness," Toralei announced mockingly as she strutted by.

"Draculaura, you owe me a boovie," a werewolf with pink hair said as she walked by.

All the while Hiei was thinking, 'that was it,' he expected there to be yelling and tears. Not a few passive words while leaving, and that wasn't the best part, that was when she walked off their remarks like they were nothing and continued to complain about the actress. Maybe they were related after all. Apparently the boovie they just seen is popular but he still couldn't see why, and he doubted he ever would.

"The real story is so much more fangtastic. I should know, I did grow up in Transylvania, and at the vampire royal court no less," Draculaura bragged. "Hiei would have as well if daddy had met Hina sooner than what he had, but you know it was great. Hey, maybe we could visit some time and show you around."

"No," he said indifferently.

"How is it that there hasn't been a vampire queen for 400 years," a mechanical girl that joined their group at the boovie theater said trying to change the subject.

"After the last queen's reign ended, the search began for the next ghoul in line," Draculaura began as the group made their way back to their vehicle. "They used an ancient jewel, the vampire's heart, that was supposed to magically lead the way to the future queen. The search has gone on for 400 years, but they haven't found her."

"So the queen could be anybody, and anywhere," Clawdeen questioned.

"Yep, now wouldn't that make a much better boovie," the vampire asked rhetorically.

"Maybe you're secretly the queen, Draculaura," Clawd said as a joke as they finally arrived back at castle Dracula.

"That would be fun, but I don't think it is me, but who knows," she said with a giggle as they walked in with Hiei being last.

As Hiei walked through the door he looked at the group and thought about his day and the way it had progressed. The chase was fun, and the looks on their faces with his little jokes was even better than he thought it would be. The bad side was that boovie and how everyone was talking and arguing with each other over trivial things. Deciding not to dwell on the matter any further he decided to head for his room and sleep when the voice of his sister came in.

"Hiei, you could say goodbye to everyone, they did try to help you after all," she said trying to teach him some manners.

"Hn,"was his response before disappearing into his room upstairs.

Draculaura sighed as she wasn't getting anywhere with her brother and thought of what she could do. "Maybe we should try our luck with him tomorrow at school," Frankie suggested before she continued. "This was his first day here and who knows, he might just need to settle in before anything."

"I am afraid that it will just take too long and he will miss out on so much at Monster High," Draculaura told them.

"Well we will just have to put him in as many situations with monster interactions as possible," Cleo said with determination.

"Wouldn't that drive him away from us instead," she asked with concern.

"No, it is like a fearleading routine, repetition until perfection and what monster or demon can turn down you," Clawdeen encouraged.

"Well, I don't see how it can hurt more than it would help, lets make some plans," Draculaura said with hope. So they stayed up until they had to leave for their respective homes making plans on how to get Hiei to be more social.

The next day

Hiei woke up with a good start, his back didn't actually ache from sleeping on a tree branch. Yet, he still didn't like it, no pain would mean he would eventually get soft, and that is something he could not allow. A knock on his door broke him from his thoughts, "Hiei, breakfast is ready and you should get ready for school." He recognized the voice belonging to his father, but he still couldn't tell if he liked the man or not regardless of how nice he seemed.

He got dressed in his normal everyday black pants, black shirt, and black cloak with a white collar. He thought about hiding his sword in his cloak, but decided that he wouldn't need such a thing at something as trivial as a school. He made his way down to the kitchen and found a good sized spread of food, for vegetarian vampires, he found that little fact the weirdest piece of information available.

"You are vegetarians," he simply stated and they knew what he meant.

"We don't believe that eating blood is the best course of action, we choose to primarily eat naturally grown vegetables for our nutrients," Dracula said.

"Hn," Hiei said in reply.

"Do you not approve of the way we live," Dracula asked his son.

"I am not the best person to ask approval of a person's life style," he said with disinterest. "I suggest we leave so we can make it to this school on time," Hiei suggested with an impassive face.

"You should eat something first, keep up your strength," Dracula said back. The demon just took an apple from a bowl and ate it before walking out the door with Draculaura at his side.

"So, how do you think you will do your first day of school," she asked with a smile as they got in her car.

"I will find it the same way I find everything else, pointless," Hiei said as he leaned back and closed his eyes to fall asleep. Draculaura just kept on driving until she reached the school and lead her brother to the office of Headless Headmistress Bloodgood.

"Welcome Hiei to Monster High, as the first demon student here there are a few rules that I would like to discuss with you," Bloodgood said with a smile. When he nodded she continued, "First, I know that during a demons lifetime, they are forced to do things such as take the lives of another. While I don't condone such behavior, I do understand the need to have done such. However, while you are here I ask for you not to mention that to anyone."

"I was already planning on keeping that to myself," he said disinterestedly.

"Good, now second, I should warn you that I have heard rumors about your skills with a blade, but you obviously know that you are not permitted to bring them on school grounds." He nodded to the question seeing as it was obvious, she continued, "good now for the third rule. If at any time you feel threatened by anything that is deemed life endangering, I am sorry to say that you cannot kill the thing that has threatened you, only subdue."

"That is troubling, but not out of the question, I will reign in on the power needed to defeat it then," Hiei said with a still disinterested look on his face.

"Good, now all students are given a icoffin so that they can keep in touch with each other, here is yours," Bloodgood said as she brought out a small coffin and gave it to him. "I already put your sister's number in there to save some time," she finished.

He looked at it for a moment before Draculaura stepped in and said, "all you have to do is press the green skull when my number pops up."

Hiei said nothing as he put the phone in his pocket and started to leave until the headmistress spoke to him again, "you forgot your schedule and locker information."

He walked back and grabbed his schedule and locker information for this school and walked out with his sister in tow. "What is your first class," she asked as they neared his locker. He looked at his schedule and it said it was a class called 'Mad Science' and showed it to her. For some reason she perked up and said, "you will love that class, you get to make things go boom."

He smirked and said, "I can already make things go boom," while she shook her head.

"Yes, well this is to be done with chemicals, but I have a different class so you will have to behave without me," Draculaura said as she began to show him to his class.

On their way they ran into the pink haired werewolf that said Draculaura owed her a boovie and someone with turquoise colored hair. The werewolf saw them and waved them over saying, "hey guys, what's up."

"I was just showing my brother to Mad Science before going to mine," she said with a smile.

"We were just on our way there as well, why don't we show him so you can get to class," the wolf said as the other girl looked away from the group and off into space.

"Sure, now Hiei be nice and don't let me find out you ran off somewhere and skipped your first day," Draculaura said.

"That would be counterproductive to why I am here," Hiei said as the two girls showed him where to go. He walked while he ignored the conversation the other two were having, he was too busy thinking about if there was anywhere he could go to be alone. Surely there was somewhere, he heard some people talk about catacombs, but he hated the underground and cramped spaces. He could ask his sister, 'that still feels weird,' but knew that she would question him on it and he didn't feel like going through that trouble. That left with only a few options, ask one of her friends and hope that they won't tell her, ask a stranger and hope they didn't talk to her enough to know to tell her, or look for a place on his own.

He chose to get some more information first, "how long have you and my sister been friends."

The two in question looked at him for a moment before the werewolf answered, "we aren't exactly friends with her. I am Clawdeens sister so she knows me, that is all, and Twyla here knows her because she is my friend."

"So if I were to ask if you knew of any place I could go so I could be alone, you wouldn't feel obligated to tell her anything," Hiei asked.

"Nope, but I don't know any spots like that, but I know that you do Twyla," the wolf smirked as she looked to her friend.

"I know of a few places Howleen, but I will only show you if you promise that you won't skip any classes to be alone. We already are viewed as only the little sisters to that group and we don't need any more speeches," Twyla said as she looked at the demon.

"As I said before, that would be counterproductive as to why I am here," he said as they walked through the door to what he assumed was the Mad Science class room.

"Oi, who are you supposed to be," yelled a fat man with a lab apron on with a bag mask over the top half of his face.

"I am the new student of the school," Hiei said as he didn't even blink at how loud the man was.

"What is your name and what type of monster are you," that man that Hiei also assumed was the teacher asked.

"Hiei Jaganshi, I am a demon and vampire hybrid," came the reply to the gasps of many other vampires in the room and the faint of others.

"That is unheard of and completely against vampire ethics," yelled one vampire student with glasses and top of the neck length purple and black hair.

"Then your vampire ethics sounds unimportant to other vampires with more sense than you have," Hiei replied with an uninterested look in his eyes before moving to his seat and closed his eyes.

"Why you little no name piece of filth, I have never been spoken to in that way," she said incredulously.

"Now you have, so shut up so the teacher can teach," he said with a shrug of his shoulders. Everyone looked at him shocked that he would say that to the resident vampire queen bee without a care.

She was about to yell at him again when the teacher was heard chuckling and only stopped when he saw that everyone turned to face him. "You don't know much about demons do you miss Fangtell," he asked to which she shook her head. "Demons are creatures that value strength above all else, the only way to gain their respect is to be just as or stronger than them. Also, just so you know, I know of no monster in all of history that has ever beaten a demon when it came to combat."

Now everyone was frightened of the new student, not only was he apparently powerful, but he didn't care about status. Now, they weren't scared of the student per say, they were scared of the fact that if Gory Fangtell couldn't get to him, than she would go after others. The only relief that they had right now was the fact that they were in a class room and not out in the hall.

The Mad Science class was about different chemicals and what they did when combined, and that was so boring to Hiei. He could have stayed home for this boring lecture, but that would defeat the purpose of coming and being a family with his father and half-sister. Class was now over and he had some time to kill before the next one, which was a class called Dead Languages with a mister Rotter.

"So, are you going to show me any place that I can be alone now or wait," he asked Twyla.

"I might as well do that now since I have nothing better to do," she said indifferently.

She lead the way to a door on the top floor and inside was a janitor's closet, but once inside she walked to the back wall and grabbed an invisible handle. Turning it found that a door opened up to an archway just big enough for a nine foot tall man to go through. On the other end of the archway was a balcony with a nice view of the sky as it shown a bright and green forest across the school yard. On either side of the balcony was twelve feet tall walls, and all of this with a nice purple tone to the stone of the building.

"This is a nice little spot," Hiei commented.

"It is one of the best, and I won't tell anyone where you are when you disappear from the face of the school while on break." Twyla said with a knowing look on her face as she motioned for the door, "we should get back."

He nodded and went with her out of the nice spot that was found for him to be alone. This was a good first day so far, but not without its troubles. That vampire girl will be a pain, his sister and her friends will be a pain. However he may have gained a few allies as well, but the day is still young. The Twyla girl however, she seems to be faking something, but who was he to judge or care?

Author's note: I am thinking of having a Hiei/Twyla as the ending pairing, but I would like any input from you on how you would find that. Or if you think that they should just form a friendship since they are both dark creatures.
