Demon Slayer

Chapter 5: New Students and Teachers

I'm about to have a surprise at my school... in more ways than one. Now that I got to it I'd like to point out that Momohime is from Muramasa: The demon blade but I mixed up the backstory, which you'll see next chapter.

"Ah, the day of judgement has finally come!" I yawned

By that... I mean school. I woke up near 5:30 to get dressed quickly, and when I brushed my teeth I realized my body was the same as yesterday. I was actually thinner, and my hair was longer too, don't get me wrong I like this but... with hair like this people are gonna think of me as an emo. "Screw it, the hairs cool anyway."

When I entered the living room I found Po sleeping on the couch, usually at seven I go in the livingroom and watch TV until I my ride comes but I didn't want to wake him; but I had this feeling, looking at his paw pads just made me want to feel them. They felt so soft, I felt like a little kid touching them, but I stopped and went outside when I heard music playing. I looked to the left to find Shifu playing his bamboo flute. He stopped and said "Good morning, you sure woke up early."

"I do that alot on weekdays, good morning to you too." I greeted "I should've known you'd be outside, thinking about something?"

"Yes, how were you able to sense those demons?" Shifu asked

"Well, sometimes I can feel when something bad is about to happen." I answered "I guess it's like a 'sixth sense.'"

I head him chuckle and he said "I see, your a dog."

"Why are you so smug, you act like your better than everyone else!"

"You were born in the year of the dog." Shifu explained "Your pessimistic, so you can tell when something bad can happen. Your also frank, so you let out your emotions in your own way. In other words, your a dog."

Right, thats what he meant; I felt bad and said "I'm sorry."

"It's alright, dogs can be stubborn sometimes." Shifu assured "But they can always make bonds with others, it's actually why I like them."

Is he... opening up to me? I actually felt happy; he stood up and said "Are you ready for training?"

"I forgot to tell you, I have school today so..."

"I know, your mother told me."

"Sorry."

"It's alright, you need your education." Shifu explained "Besides, I have... plans for that."

Uh, I really didn't like that pause he made; but when I saw my ride I said goodbye and left. It felt weird to see my neighbor and his son look at me, but I ignored it and waited until we got to school. But the looks got even worse when I got there, I never felt more of an outsider than I did now. But... when I think of Po and Shifu, I feel better about this. I even acted funny when everyone saw me in my homeroom, I smirked and said "You like what you see?"

"Is that Junior?"

"What happened to his hair?"

"He looks like an emo."

'Don't get mad, you knew that would happen. I just wish I had my sword with me!' I thought

I calmed down and sat down at my desk, the one with an empty desk next to it; when everyone stopped staring at me, my teacher Mrs. Grasson said "Okay that's enough, everyone get out your books and..."

The phone rang and she went to get it, I grabbed my book and waited for something to happen; when she hung up, Grasson said "Everyone were having two new students join us today, one of them is a relative to someone here."

'A relative, I wonder who... what the...!?'

I think my heart just stopped, because when the class door opened I saw Po wearing... is that my other school uniform; he's totally stretching it out, he saw me and said "Hey, little bro!"

Everyone freaked out, I had to do something so I rushed towards him and said "Mrs. Grasson, do you mind if I talk to my brother thanks!"

I brought him to the hallway and closed the door, and as I took a deep breath I whispered "What the hell are you doing here!"

"Trying to enjoy my first day of school with you." Po said, smiling "Don't you think we should get back?"

"Oh no, tell me what's going on!?" I exclaimed, quietly

"Well, Shifu thought I should keep an eye on you, and protect you if something happens." He explained "Sorry about your clothes, it took a while just to get the pants on."

"Wait, is Shifu..."

"I don't really know, is it alright?"

I felt furious, I was about to burst; but for some reason... "It's ok you can stay, but we need to make a good backstory. Besides... I always wanted an older brother...!?"

What was that, someone walked passed us and gave me a strange feeling. It only took a few minutes to figure something out; and when we came inside he finally introduced himself. "Pleased to meet you all, my names Po and I'm Junior's big brother."

Everyone looked at me for an answer, and I said "Po's my step brother, my mom married his dad."

Then a student named Rodney asked "What's with all the hair?"

To tell the truth, I always wanted to use this excuse "He was born with rare disorders. Hair, ear, and lower back disorder... it's the reason why he has the ears and a tail. To tell the truth, he actually looks like a cute panda."

"I do look cute, don't I?" Po said, blushing

"Ok, now what's with you?" Rodney asked "What happened to your hair, and your body looks like a cartoon character."

"My hair instantly grew yesterday, and through the weekend I did a bunch of... excercising." I answered "I guess I became something different through the weekend. No, I became... my true self."

It felt right to say that, I'm actually happy about it; after introductions were done, Po took the empty seat next to me, and the school day finally started. After english we went to civics or history, I think Po surprised everyone with his knowledge on chinese warriors... but thinking about it, I kind of expected it from a fanboy like him. Math was difficult for him, just like me, and language arts... well, I actually felt like a teacher. Through lunch I felt that feeling again and finally found the source, it was a new girl. She had black hair stuck together with a comb that had a flower on it, I should've noticed her sooner... mostly because she wore a pink kimono with flowers on it. Her eyes were brown, and the feeling I got from her was... like meeting someone special. I walked towards her and said "Hello, my names Junior. Are you new here too?"

"Um hello, it's nice to meet you." She greeted "You must be Po, is that your lunch?"

"Yep, I made it myself." Po answered "I even made one for Jun here."

"Well it's nice to meet you Kohai." She greeted "I'm sorry is it ok to call you that, it means junior in japanese so..."

"Cool, Kohai sounds alot cooler, what's your name?" I asked

"Oh forgive me, my name is Momohime!"

Momohime, thinking about it... she does look like the Momohime from the muramasa game; I wonder if... "Hey, you haven't eaten your food bro. Don't you like it?"

Po actually made me a bowl of noodles, along with dumplings; I already ater my lunch, but I tried to eat it anyway. "Ah... it's so good... such a taste, I can't help but to eat more! And these dumplings make me wanna cry, can you show me how to cook this?"

"Sure thing!" Po said smiling "Keep eating as much as you want."

"Kohai, if you like I can teach you how to cook too." Momohime suggested

"Cool, then I can make chinese and japanese food!" I exclaimed "Oh, mind if we call you Momo for short?"

"Sure, I'm sorry to ask but do you know where we go next?"

"I think... oh yeah, we go to gym next." I answered

The three of us were already the best of friends, but when we went to gym I was totally freaked out at what I saw. 'You gotta be kidding me, is this what he had in mine?'

"It's nice to meet you all." He greeted "My name is Shifu, and I will be your new gym teacher. I see you met my sons. Everyone run as many pacers as you can, I would like to speak with them."

When Momo and the others left, I whispered "What... the... hell?"

"What, I told you I had everything covered." Shifu answered

"That was still not cool, you have Po act as my brother while you act as my dad!" I exclaimed "That's totally uncalled for!"

"Are you sure, I can tell that your happy about this."

"Shi- I mean fu- I mean... why me?"

I wanted to curse to heaven, but I couldn't; I watched Momohime run from one wall to the next, I actually thought it was cute how she ran... actually she ran like a ninja, she's so fast. "Are you having feelings for her?"

"Huh, come on Po!" I assured "She's just a friend, that's all."

But the more I think about it, the more I come to realize... that there's more to her than meets the eye.
