Chapter 2 To Swear One's Life
"This school seems to on forever no matter where I go…" Drake patrolled the grounds hoping to find some land mark to mark the end of his territory. "At this rate I might as well head back and go to class for once, maybe Mizore will be there." He changed direction and headed back towards Yokai. As he came close to campus he flew too close to a classroom window, startling a few of the students. "I wonder if I'll get in trouble for having my wings out this close to school. Oh well I'm going to be late as it is, I'll have to worry about that later." He rushed to his class as fast as he could without losing his human form, which was still fast enough to put most werewolves to shame. "Sorry I'm late." He entered the room looking around to find Mizore but sto no avail. "Oh so you're the missing student take your seat. You can introduce yourself after the break, now as I was saying…." The class itself seemed to go by slow for Drake, even after the short break and his introduction.
As he was walking down the hall after class he saw a boy yelling "Tsukune! Help me!" while being chased by a girl wielding a mace with huge spikes on it who demanded him to face her in combat. Drake looked at the scene puzzled why a kid would yell for Tsukune's help. "What was that about?" He asked out loud. "I have no clue, but that was Moka's sister chasing that poor kid." Drake looked at the source of the voice and saw a tall dark haired student wearing a head band and a wolf head necklace. "My names Gin by the way, what's yours?" "My name is Drake, and I think I heard some of the girls in my class talking about you." Gin looked at him as if trying to decide whether or not to continue the conversation. "Oh what did they say about me?" drake looked at Gin for a moment. "Well they said you a peeping tom that took panty shot pictures and framed a younger student for your crime." Gin laughed "You can't always believe what you hear." "Really? So these pictures aren't yours?" Drake held up some pictures Gin had taken. "What!? How did you get those? They were in my pocket!" Drake laughed as he returned the photos. "What can I say; I'm a good pick pocket."
Gin and Drake talked for a while, mostly about what happened at the school prior to Drakes arrival. "So you know Mizore?" Gin looked at him as if to say don't waste your time. "Ya I know her, however she is completely obsessed with Tsukune." Drake just smiled as if he knew something but wouldn't say. "Well if you see her tell her Drake is looking for her." Gin nodded and they went their separate ways.
Drake walked around school searching for Mizore until he found her near the schools track in one of the tennis courts sitting in the shade watching two other girls play. "Mizore may I talk to you for a moment in private." She looked at Drake "Hmm… oh Drake, sure I guess its ok." Drake and Mizore walked until they were on the edge of the forest. "Why are we this far out Drake?" She looked at him with concern in her eyes. Drake just smiled and bent down on one knee "I swear my life and honor to you and you alone. Your will, your wish, and your desire are my command." Mizore looked at him for a moment not knowing what to say or do. "Um… doesn't saving some one's life usually work the other way around? Don't I owe you?" Drake stayed on his knee head bowed "If that is so then do me the honor of accepting my pledge to you my lady." "Ok I guess but this doesn't mean we are together or anything." Drake stood up and looked as if he had finished some lifelong mission. Mizore looked at him for a time wondering what kind of creature swears fealty to another without knowing anything about them.
