'This wasn't a good idea', Ice was almost dreaming and she couldn't wake up. Slithering shadows snaked their away around her bed. She wasn't awake, she couldn't escape, Kurumu wasn't here to save her this time. 'Please not the shadows, please not the darkness, I'm not my mom. I can't handle this!'.

The realm of shadows paid her no mind. Her door opened and some one came in. It wasn't Kurumu. There was a passing resemblance though. This girl reminded her so much of her dad. Did Tsukune cosplay into people's dreams?

"Listen, I know its dark. But it's going to be okay."

"Who are you?"

"My name is-" WOOF WOOF

Ice nearly leapt through the celling. Her older sisters mastiff had given a big slobbery wake up call. She was still wiping the flecks of saliva from her mouth when it hopped up onto the bed. The whole thing shook and Ice got her face covered in drool. The big dog really did like her.

'Wait- what time is it? No it couldn't be, it couldn't be!'

"Out of my way!", she screamed while sprinting helter skelter down the hall way. Behind her a big dog was giving chase with her Uniform in its mouth. She sprinted right onto the bus, the dog came with her, and nobody said a single thing about it.

It's not like she was the only person on the bus either. Purple haired girl and brown haired boy in the back, creepy girl wearing a hoodie near the front, and then there was her. Well her and the dog. Wasn't the driver gonna complain or something?

"Welcome aboard the school bus. We're DEAD sure that you'll get to school on time. Sorry if you find my appearance unsettling. Don't fear the driver"

Ice blinked several times. She rubbed her eyes. Was she still dreaming?

Well she did have some pretty weird dreams. More then a few of them included Aaron Carter. No one needed to know about those. Especially her older sisters, if they ever found out . . .

No need to think about that too much either. She was headed to a nice relaxing monster school. Everything was going to be okay.

"Please wait until the bus comes to a complete stop. Otherwise the consequence could be FATAL"

"That wasn't even a pun", spoke up the brown haired boy in the back.

"Yes it was", said the bus driver with a grin.

The purple haired girl next to the boy whispered something in his ear.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

"Welcome to Youkai Academy", said the bus driver, " With any luck you might just survive the night".

'Deep breaths, deep breath's Seras, you can do this. You've fought against vampire Nazis, defeated a psychotic bitch, and you are a badass motherfucking vampire. Teaching adorable children another language should be child's play for you'. Except it wasn't.

She checked the clock again. Seras kept on tapping the table. Could monsters smell fear? She didn't know. Her master didn't really mention it to her. Not to mention any other monster she was facing was too busy trying to kill her to discuss the subject. Maybe she could make a few friends here. They'd probably know stuff like that.

Her students started filing in. Sera's gave them a big friendly smile. The natural warmth she radiated started to put her students fears to rest. The disguise she was wearing also helped. Seras Victoria is a super friendly vampire no matter what she looks like. Still, she figured making her red eyes look blue again and having it appear that she still had both arms would make her less terrifying to her students.

"Hello every one, Welcome to French 101. Out there in the human world many people speak French, such a mercenaries. Does any one have any questions?"

Some ones hand shot up in the back of the room

"Yes"

"Are you a succubus?"

"A what?"

"You know, a monstrous entity that lure's men into their beds"

"No, also I'm not supposed to tell any of you what I am. Just pretend you are all humans in a perfectly normal human classroom. Now lets begin."

Seras wrote a few French words on the black board. Words such as Maison, Baguette, or Ma chère, and unfortunately she started crying after writing the last one. Her students were more then a little surprised to see their teacher in such a state.

"Are you okay professor?"

"I'm fine. Just a bit stuffy in here is all. I've got terrible allergies. Now where were we? Oh yeah, French terms of endearment. Such as- such as-."

Tears were pouring down her face like a river. None of her students had the courage to ask her what's wrong. They were all too busy watching the clock and trying to wait this out. Eventually the bell did ring and they were more or less free.

"Class dismissed. I'm really sorry about this. I'll be better next time".

Seras took a few deep breaths. Maybe this wasn't the class for her.

Later that day in a dark and secluded region of the school a certain brown haired boy was having a bit of an identity crisis. Mister Aono of course took the most sensible route and decided to head to a teacher he didn't even have to ask about things he probably shouldn't know.

With significant Trepidation non-purple haired offspring of Kyouko Aono knocked on the door.

The door swung open of its own accord and he came in.

"Miss Sendo, are you here?"

"Of course I am. This is my class after all"

Brown haired expendable protagonist Kasumi Aono spun around to face the brilliant witch.

"Also I've been meaning to ask you. What kind of name is Kasumi? Your father's come up with some pretty weird ones over the years but this has to take the cake."

"I think you have me confused with some one else. I'm named after my grandmother. I never met my father"

"So your last name isn't Aono?"

"It is Aono. My mom's name is Kyouko. You've probably never even heard of her. Me and my sister are kind of new to the whole monster thing"

Yukari gave the boy a second look. His average appearance had thrown her off earlier. Upon closer inspection he didn't look that much like Tsukune. The name Kyouko did sound vaguely familiar. She just wasn't sure why she remembered it.

"What can I do for you, Kasumi?"

"Well, I want to know what kind of monster I am"

"What?"

"I need to know. My sister keeps asking me but I don't know what to tell her. I used to think that I was human. Now I don't know what to think"

Yukari reached with in her robes and pulled out a knife.

"Hold still please. I'm going to need a tiny bit your blood to perform a monster litmus test. It won't tell me what you are but it should give us a pretty good idea of what your not"

"Ok"

"Don't worry this wont hurt", Yukari grabbed his hand and drew blood, "one bit"

"Ow!"

"I can already tell you're not a Minotaur. You have terrible pain resistance."

Yukari pulled out some pots from underneath her desk and started mixing some sort of concoction. She added a few ingredients until it became a verdant green. Then she added the blood drops and it turned a sickly yellow hue.

"Come back in a few days. These mixtures can take a while to show true results"

The mixture turned a ghastly shade of purple then exploded.

"I take it back", said Yukari, "You're obviously human".

"But I thought this was a monster school"

"Well stuff happens. I'd keep your head on a swivel from now on. Being a human in this school can be a dangerous thing. Unless you happen to have a vampire friend to protect you or something like that, and even then it can be hard to get around without magic. If you need any help though, I'll be right here"

"Thanks, I guess"

"You sure your not Tsukune's kid?

"As sure as I can be about anything at this school"

Kasumi then turned walked out the door. It was getting late and they had to get back to their dorm room. This place could get real spooky at night. Being a human in a school of monsters can be about as bad of an idea as it sounds. Still, couldn't be worse then middle school right?
