Johan was the first to wake up. He looked at the time and of course, he only had five minutes to get washed up and make it to school. So he ran downstairs and yelled, "RISE AND SHINE!!"

They all jumped up and looked at Johan like he was crazy.

"Dude, what's your problem?" O'Brian asked.

"We've got less than five minutes! Get your fat asses up!" The bluenette yelled again.

They looked up at the digital clock hanging on the wall and sprinted up the stairs to the shower. (No they didn't take one together if that's what you're wondering.)

Over at the Yuki house, everyone was already outside and walking to the building called Duel Academy.

As they walked, everyone stared at them. But who wouldn't? Their pale skin and bright and colorful eyes made them look unnaturally beautiful. It was a bit scary.

And somehow, the pack was able to make it out of their house on time to get to school at the same time as the vampire clan. You could say it was a miracle this happened.

While everyone stared at Judai and his friends, the wolves walked past them unaffected by their beauty. But Johan kept having the urge to look back and only saw Judai walking. His mind held hatred for that boy but his heart accelerated ands sent a warm feeling to every part of his body. And he clenched his teeth to keep from smiling.

When Judai saw the bluenette smiling at him, he was shocked. It looked like he actually liked him. But he was calm again when he saw the boy's eyebrows were pressed against to each other and his green eyes were no longer loving. He turned his head and kept walking with the pack.

SPIRITSHIPPING 4EVER!!

By the time lunch came, Judai was so hungry. And the fragrance of human blood wasn't helping.

"Aniki?" Shou said. "Are you alright?"

"I…I'm so…"

"So…?"

"Hungry!" He gripped the edge of the table as more kids walked past him.

"The day's half way through," Asuka said rubbing his shoulders. "Do you think you could hold on for a couple more hours?"

Judai shook his head. "Not like this." His attention was pulled across the room where Johan and some kid were having an argument. And when the boy shoved Johan, his body started shaking. Kenzan had to pull Johan away before he changed. Then Jim walked up to the boy and punched in the face which gave him a nose bleed.

Judai's eyes turned golden and his fangs grew quickly. He jumped out of his seat dodging Asuka and Monjoume. He was so close when someone pushed him back. And it wasn't just a regular push. It was a forceful push. So forceful that it sent him flying over two tables and landing on the hard floor. He got up again just to be knocked back down again.

He found out who the cause of the impact. Johan.

Johan picked Judai up and dragged him out of the room where no one could see them. "I almost ruined the whole thing, I don't need you messing it up too."

"Then maybe you shouldn't cut people right under my nose!" Judai growled.

"I don't like you either," Johan started. "But in order to keep this people safe, we have to work together."

"Fine."

Johan turned away and took wide strides back to his friends.

Judai smiled knowing he got the last word. Sort of. He too walked back to the table forgetting about his hunger.

"What just happened in here?!" the teacher asked. "I'm waiting for an answer!"

Someone stood up and told the man the whole story.

He crossed his arms. "Judai, Johan. Detention."

Johan sat back against his seat defeated and watched Judai put his hands through his hair.

The teacher walked away satisfied.

"Are you okay Judai?" Asuka asked. "That was a pretty hard fall."

"We vampires, remember?" he whispered. "We heal quickly."

That earned a smile from everyone at the table.

"What did you do to that vampire?" Kenzan asked.

"I wish I had done something," Johan replied while eating his food.

"You didn't do anything?" O'Brian asked. "Why?"

"We're in school. I don't feel like getting in any more trouble than I am now."

"That's alright, Johan," Jim said. "We'll get him next time."

"You're way too nice to him," O'Brian stated.

"And what are you? His father?"

O'Brian stood up as did Jim.

"Guys, not here," Kenzan said. "We're being watched. Just wait until we get out, okay?"

They sat down with an agitated sigh.

"Oh, and O'Brian?" Johan said.

He looked up.

"I know how to fight my own battles." Then stuck up his middle finger.

He rolled his eyes and continued eating.

After lunch, Shou approached the pack alone.

"Oh look!" O'Brian said. "There's a little midget in front of us!"

"He's so cute!" Kenzan joined in. He stuck his hand out ready to mess up his hair when Shou almost bit it.

Kenzan jumped and pulled his hand back. "He's like a Parana."

"What do you want, vamp?" Johan asked.

"Look, I know we were a pain in the ass yesterday but I just wanted to say…thank you."

They all looked taken aback.

"For stopping Judai from ruining everything."

"We didn't do it for you, we did it for us," Jim said.

"I'm still grateful." He walked away and out of the room.

"Well at least we have someone who respects us," O'Brian said.

"How stupid are you?" Johan asked.

He lifted a brow.

"He's scared of us, that's all. He doesn't respect us."

"Isn't that just as good?" Kenzan asked.

"I want someone to respect us for our personality. Not because they're scared of the beast inside of us."

"We're not beasts!" Kenzan objected.

"To them we are." He paused to let that sink in his head. "There's got to be a place where there's no humans, or vampires or werewolves. Just regular people who enjoy spending time with others despite what they really are."

And what Johan didn't know was that, that's what Judai wished for too.
