Chapter 2: Monster Sized Problems

After the opening ceremony, Pit didn't know how to find his homeroom. Thankfully there was a student who was willing to help him out. After viewing the listings Pit made his way to class, and after taking a seat, he waited for his teacher. Several other students conversed amongst each other while they waited, and Pit even felt as though someone was watching him. Once the teacher finally arrived, the rest of the students took a seat. She wrote a few things on the blackboard before turning to face the class. "Why hello everyone and for those of you who are new here, welcome to Yokai Academy." she greeted in a cheery tone. She looked as though she was in her early thirties. Her attire consisted of glasses, an orange shirt with shorts and a pendant around her neck. On her head part of her dark blonde hair looked like it was made to be cat ears pointing down. "Now some of you may already know this, but Yokai Academy is a school made by, run by, and for monsters." she continued, a cat tail then appeared out of nowhere. Pit wasn't totally surprised by this; after all, if a vampire was allowed in then there shouldn't be a problem with other monsters attending.

The teacher, Ms. Nekenome by name, continued on. "Now our current problem: humans currently dominate the world. So in order to ensure our survival, students here will learn how to coexist with humans. Which is why it is forbidden to reveal your monster identity to any of the students here and to stay in your human form at all times."

If only Medusa came to this school, then we could have avoided that whole war altogether. Pit chuckled in his head.

"Hey teacher." came a voice next to Pit. He looked over to see a boy with long dark blonde hair smirking. "Wouldn't it be better if we eat those puny humans," he asked smugly, "and if we came across any beautiful girls: molest them?" His tongue was extending, shrinking and wriggling at this. Pit would have been creped out by this but was too busy glaring daggers at him to even notice. Just what was with this guy? Did he have no dignity at all?

"Well that's not going to happen, because this school is surrounded by a special barrier that keeps humans out." Ms. Nekenome stated. Pit silently breathed a sigh of relief. "However, if a human did find their way into this school; they would be killed immediately." His thoughts instantly snapped with shock and outrage; fortunately enough he was able to hold it back without anyone noticing. However, that didn't mean Pit wasn't irritated.

JUST WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE, WASN'T THE POINT OF THIS SCHOOL TO TEACH STUDENTS HOW TO COEXIST WITH HUMANS?! He shouted in his head as he clenched his fist tightly.

"I'm so sorry," came a familiar voice, "I got lost after the opening ceremony."

"Don't worry; just take an empty seat anywhere you like." Ms. Nekenome said.

Pit looked over to see a familiar pinkette walking in his direction. As she walked she got compliments from various (male) students in the room but didn't seem to notice.

"Oh wow, so beautiful."

"Check out that hair."

"There's no way that could be a disguise."

"Hey Moka." Pit greeted; Moka saw him and became overjoyed instantly.

"Pit! I can't believe it; we're in the same class!" She exclaimed while embracing him in a hug.

"Nice to see you too Moka." Pit said calmly, sweat dropping. He also noticed that a lot of the male students were jealous of him.

"Who the hell is that guy?"

"He's a dead man."

"It's not fair. I want to be hugged by her."

Pit just ignored these comments but failed to notice that the blonde from before was staring hungrily at Moka.

After class, Moka and Pit decided to explore the school. Pit felt awkward though, everywhere they went Moka had practically dragged him along. As they walked, many of the students saw Moka and Pit. Moka was in so much bliss to be with her friend that she didn't notice the comments she was getting from the male students, but Pit on the other hand heard every word and even heard a few comments from the female students.

"Wow, look at her."

"She's so beautiful I'm jealous."

"Who's that guy that's with her?"

"I don't know but he's kind of cute."

The duo stopped at a vending machine where Moka got a can of tomato juice. They sat at a bench and as Moka was taking a drink she noticed that Pit was looking kind of down. "Are you okay Pit? You look blue." She asked him.

"Huh? Oh, I'm fine." He tried to say, but the truth was he wasn't fine at all. The school he was currently attending was teaching monster children how to coexist with humans but at the same time would kill any human that came here. For an angel that protected humans for a long time, that was a big deal. Moka didn't like seeing her friend down so she tried to cheer him up, but lost her chance as soon as she got it.

"Such a beautiful girl." came dark voice. Moka and Pit looked up to see the blonde boy from class staring them down. "Your name is Moka isn't it? Allow me to introduce myself: my name is Saizou Komiya, pleased to make your acquaintance."

"Well..." Moka started to say but Saizou snatched Pit and held him against a column.

"Now what I wanna know is; why are you hanging out with a loser like him when you could be having some real fun with a guy like me? What do ya say?" he asked.

Not on your life. Pit thought. He managed to kick the blonde in the chest to make him let go and made him take a few steps back. Pit smirked but Saizou grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and threw him at the vending machine, wrecking it in the process. Moka didn't want this to go any further so she helped Pit to his feet.

"Sorry, but I'm having fun with my friend right now." She told the blonde. Moka then took off taking Pit with her.

"Dude, did you see that?" one student said.

"Yeah, that guy kicked him in the chest and actually smirked at that." another responded.

"He must be pretty tough if he could stand up to Saizou." remarked a third student.

"Hmph. Tough or not, I never let a woman get away from me, Moka Akashiya." Saizou said to himself, rubbing his chest.

Pit and Moka ran to the school's rooftop that also served as the visiting area. Due to the distance they ran, they were panting from exhaustion. They then chuckled a little and Pit was the first one to speak. "Man, I thought I was a goner there." He admitted.

"I'm just glad we got out of that situation." Moka replied.

"Yeah. Hey Moka, do you really consider me a friend?" He asked.

"Of course, you're the first one I've ever had." She answered.

"Why is that?" Pit wondered.

"Well, you see, I used to go to school in the human world until after Junior High. And the thing is, everybody there made fun of me, saying vampires don't exist." She explained; she seemed uncomfortable talking about it. It wasn't hard for Pit to believe; he had seen things that he easily would have said didn't exist, but he learned that anything was possible. Moka continued, "You see, the whole time, I would always be alone. That's why…I hate humans." Those words instantly pierced Pit's heart, though it wasn't unfamiliar for this kind of thing to happen. "Humans, can be so cruel sometimes." she frowned.

"But not all humans are like that." Pit assured her. She then looked up in surprise, was he defending humans? "Truth is I met a human once who lost a child to dark forces. When he became a mercenary to fight those same dark forces, he covered that loss with his cold hard exterior and used it as his drive to fight." Moka took in every word; the fact that a human would fight evil forces over the loss of a child was understandable, but it still didn't make sense. Pit then continued his story. "And as for why exactly he fights I'm not sure. Maybe he just does it for the money or if he doesn't want anybody else to suffer that same kind of loss, I don't know. But I know that deep down he's not a bad person." He would have said Underworld monsters, but decided against it since Moka might have gotten the wrong idea.

"Oh, Pit." Moka sighed with a smile.

"Anyway, you said you're a vampire right?" Pit asked. "But just looking at you says differently."

"Oh, that's because of this." She pulled her shirt aside just enough to show him her Rosario. "As long as I'm wearing this, my powers are suppressed. But if I were to take it off; I'd turn into my true form: a powerful and terrifying vampire."

"Whoa." Pit breathed. She tucked her shirt back but then got closer to Pit. "Uh, Moka?" he said.

"But even if our powers are sealed," she started, "we still crave blood." Without any time for Pit to react, she bit his neck. He didn't shout this time but he still winced in pain. Once Moka had her fill she let go, with Pit grabbing his neck afterward.

"Thanks for the warning." he mumbled.

"Sorry. It's just…your blood…it's so good." She blushed. Sweat dropped as Pit thought about whether or not he was food to Moka. "You see, for the longest time I've had to drink tomato juice or blood from transfusion bags. You're the first person I've ever drank from." she explained.

"Uh, thanks?" he scratched his head.

"Also, it tastes so much better. It's like elixir from heaven." She remarked.

Funny story behind that actually. he thought to himself.

When the sun started to set they decided to get to their dorm rooms. They were almost half-way there when they saw a familiar figure blocking their path. "Hello, Moka." Saizou welcomed grimly.

"Ugh, not you again." Pit groaned, rolling his eyes. "Why don't you just get lost already?" he scowled.

"You know what," Saizou grunted, "I could ask you the same thing." He then started to get larger. When he got large enough, his shirt tore off; muscles and bones could be seen clearly in his true form. Moka started to get worried as she saw the beast in front of her, but Pit stepped in front of her as if to protect her, catching her by surprise. "So you think you can stand up to me you little punk?" the orc taunted.

"Trust me, I've seen two-headed dogs scarier than you." Pit shot back.

"Then watch this!" Saizou shouted as he back-handed the disguised angel. He flew several feet before hitting a tree.

"Pit!" Moka screamed. Before she could rush for him Saizou grabbed her ankle with his lizard like tongue and flung her to the side.

"Your mine Moka!" the orc laughed.

"You wish!" Pit shouted as he jump-kicked Saizou square in the face. The orc stumbled backwards a little, dazed. Seizing the opportunity, Pit ran to Moka and helped her up; she was surprised that Pit had done all that so fast. They ran into the forest but Saizou recovered and gave chase. The duo ran until they reached a cliff. They looked around for another way but Saizou had caught up to them.

"You're gonna pay for that you little prick." he fumed.

"I'm not gonna let you touch her you over grown freak!" Pit stated. Moka was touched that Pit was defending her.

"Why you little." Saizou said angrily. He then shot his tongue out at Pit only to miss by an inch. Before Pit could go in for another attack, Saizou reacted faster by punching him straight in the chest. He slid down the cliff until he got to the road that led to the bus stop. He stopped at the middle of the road with the wind knocked out of him. He slowly got up due to the pain he had to deal with but then collapsed.

"Pit! Pit, are you alright?" came Moka's voice. She had rushed after him right as Saizou punched him. Once she was next to him, she held his head in her hand while holding his torso up slightly. "Pit please, stay with me." She pleaded.

"What are you talking about?" he grunted as he got up. "I'm not going anywhere." He was on his feet now but he had to hold his arm. Saizou then landed on the ground a few feet from them and laughed menacingly. As Pit tried to walk forward Moka stopped him.

"Pit, don't! C'mon, let's run." Moka tried to plea.

"No," Pit panted, "I'm not running. I've been through two wars so far, and I've learned never to give up." Tears started going down Moka's face as Pit put a hand on her shoulder. "So I'm either gonna protect my friends, or die trying."

"Oh come on! Look at you; you can barely stand let alone fight." Saizou taunted. Pit merely took a step but fell forward. His hand caught Moka's Rosario as he fell but it snapped off its chain.

As Pit landed on one knee holding the Rosario, Moka gasped at what just happened. "My Rosario, it came off." Just then there was a bright flash of light as Pit and Saizou were blinded instantly.

"Whoa, what the hell is happening?" Saizou exclaimed. The light faded and in Moka's place was a girl with silver hair, paler skin, red eyes, and a slightly larger bust size. Saizou was paralyzed at what he saw. "Oh man, the tales, they're true." He gasped. "The red eyes, the silver hair, the overwhelming energy. She's an S-class Super Monster, a real vampire!"

Pit was awestruck at the sight. Is that Moka's true form? he wondered. The silver haired Moka looked to Pit. "So you're the one who woke me up?" She asked, even the sound of her voice was different. Pit nodded and then looked to Saizou. "I'll take care of him." She said firmly. After she took a couple steps forward she yawned. "You said you wanted to have some fun. Alright then, come at me." She taunted. Saizou was annoyed that she would talk to him like that. He then charged at her but was blocked as she kicked him. "Know your place!" she shouted as she flung him into the side of the cliff. After the dust settled Saizou was down for the count.

Pit started to get up but was helped by Moka. "Thanks." he grunted.

"I should be the one thanking you." Moka told him. "I appreciate the way you protected the other me. By the way, you said you had been through two wars. Just what do you mean by that?"

"It's a long, complicated and unbelievable story." Pit responded. He then winced in pain and Moka tried to support him. "I guess you'll want this back." He said as he handed her the Rosario, which she accepted.

"Thanks." she said to him. "Do me a favor and take care of the other Moka. She'll need somebody to look after her." Pit nodded and Moka snapped the Rosario back on the chain. She then fell forward but was caught by Pit. When she woke up the girl he was holding was the green eyed pinkette he knew.

"Pit!" she exclaimed as she hugged him, but then she remembered that he was sore. "Sorry, I'm just glad your okay." She told him.

"I'm glad you're okay too." He grunted.

"C'mon, let's get you to the infirmary." She offered.

"Right." He replied as she put his arm over her shoulders. As they made their way to the infirmary, Pit thought about all that happened that day. Today was just day one, I've got to be careful if I'm gonna survive this, he thought. He looked to Moka to see her blushing slightly. "Moka," Pit said.

"I'm sorry but, this smell." she said softly.

"Wait, what," he stammered, but he then realized his cheek was bleeding again.

"I'm sorry." Moka told him. Before Pit could say anything else, Moka had bitten him. As sore as he already was, he couldn't help but scream in pain. This was going to be one long year.
