Tsukune was having surprising difficulty with his school life at the moment. And that's just putting it lightly.

After accidently enrolling into a school of monsters, one that would also kill him on sight if he was found out to be human, his life became crazier after befriending a vampiress with a split-personality disorder who loves the taste of his blood.

As if that wasn't enough, he how had a succubus fighting for his affections as much as possible, believing him to be her soulmate, not pleasing the vampiress one bit.

As well as that, with all the mayhem he has had to put up with, he was having difficulty doing any of his studies. This was reflected when the result of the mid-semester exam came out. On the board, displaying the results of ever first-year student ranked by how well they did, Tskune found his name close to the bottom.

"Ugh, great. Even here, I'm not getting better in my tests." He thought to himself.

He brought himself out of his thoughts when he saw Moka at the other end of the board. Her an up to her, calling out to her. Upon hearing him, she turned in his direction and smiled.

"Good morning, Tsukune." She said cheerfully. They caught up with each other and began talking about their results. "How well did you do?"

Tsukune lowered his head. "Not great. But I guess it's something to learn from." He said weakly.

Moka smiled. "That's the spirit!" she said.

"Thanks. So, what did you get?" he asked.

Moka smiled. "I got 13th place. I guess I got lucky, huh?"

"Luck's got nothing to do with it."

Both Tsukune and Moka turned their heads to see Ethan coming their way. After coming to the academy, he had become a bit more of an open book compared to the anti-social grump that Tsukune had befriended previously. However, he had been seen falling back into that category again.

Moka looked concerned, but tried her best to look positive. "Hey, Ethan. How are you today?" she asked.

Ethan shrugged his shoulders in response. "Okay, I guess."

Tsukune walked up to him. "Hey, do you want to see how well you did in the test?"

Ethan looked at Tsukune for a moment before shrugging his shoulders and walking up to the board. Upon doing so, all the other students near the board backed away from him. His reputation had become something to be feared after hearing how he nearly killed Kurumu in cold blood, showing people he was something to be feared; it was quite ironic considering he was human.

Ethan scanned the board until he found his name. "Drake, Ethan… 3rd place."

Tsukune froze while Moka looked overjoyed. "That's AMAZING Ethan!" Moka said.

"Wow… tough in a fight and in the classroom." Tsukune said.

Ethan turned away from the board. He wasn't looking at his friends as he walked, but he continued to talk. "Thanks. Though I'd congratulate the person who got first place." He said.

Upon saying that, Both Moka and Tsukune looked up at the board and saw the first place name.

"Yukari Sendo…" Tsukune said, looking at the name in awe.

Moka perked up when seeing the name. "Oh, I think I heard about her." She then looked rather bashful. "Although the only thing I know about her is that she's pretty smart. I never really heard much more other than that."

Ethan stopped abruptly and turned around, his moody glare sticking to his face, but he showed a slight smirk, at least. "Well, truth be told, I don't know much about her either, so no need to feel bad." He said.

"I wonder what she's like?" Tsukune asked.

Ethan shrugged his shoulders again and walked off again, waving the back of his hand at his friends as he said he would see them later. The two friends looked at him for a moment, then at each other in concern.

"Do you really think he's okay?" Moka asked.

"No… but he will be. He was like this once before, though that was after he saw someone making fun of a guy back in our last school. He was pretty angry that people could be so mean to each other." Tsukune explained.

Moka looked back in Ethan's direction again, but he was already gone. She sighed to herself. "I hope he gets better soon."

As Tsukune was about to speak, he felt a couple of arms wrap around him from behind. He turned to see Kurumu clinging on to him.

"Morning, Tsukune. I hope you're well." She said. Tsukune smiled and freed himself from her grip. When he was free, Kurumu began to look a little nervous. "Say, uh… have you guys seen Ethan? I apologized to him earlier, but I still want to try and make things up to him. I said some pretty mean things and… well…" Kurumu suddenly had some difficulty going on with her speech.

Tsukune smiled. "It's okay, he's already forgiven you." He said.

This surprised Kurumu. "Really?" she asked.

Tsukune nodded. "Yeah, since he learned the reasons behind you charming the school, he decided to let it go. He had a bit of habit of running his mouth too quickly when he's angry too."

Kurumu sighed with relief. "Thank god." She said. But then she looked back at him in confusion.

"I thought that was what he was angry about." Moka said.

"Me too. So why's he angry?" Kurumu asked.

Tsukune giggled nervously before answering. "I, uh… I actually don't know."

….

Ethan sat on a bench with his guitar case on his lap. He kept it closed, but the image of the staff inside was still clear to him. He glared at the object, secretly wanting to smash the staff into pieces. He would've too, had the staff not been apparently indestructible.

"I'm supposed to be able use these freaking powers of mine with this thing?" he asked himself out loud. He paused for a moment, thinking back to when he got this staff.

(Flashback)

"So, you wanted to see me?" Ethan asked.

Ethan stood in a large office, illuminated by only a couple of candles on an office table. At the center of the desk, stood a man in white robes. His eyes were illuminating under the hood he wore.

"Indeed I did. I heard about you're scuffle with Saizou Komiya. I am sorry you had to start the year with such hardship."

"Hey, we were able to handle ourselves." Ethan said.

The headmaster, also called the chairman, nodded. "Indeed. Although, I must say, I was surprised. A human with such strength is quite… uncommon." He said.

At that, Ethan froze. He then glared at him. "How the hell do you know that?" he said, a hint of venom appearing in his voice.

"I wouldn't be a very good headmaster if I didn't know the important information about my students. However, you have nothing to fear. If you wish, you may continue to go to school here. However…" the chairman lifted his hand into the air and, surprisingly to Ethan, a wooden staff appeared in his hand. He placed it on the table and took a step back. "When you fought Saizou, you ran out of energy quite quickly. This staff will help you control your reserves."

Ethan looked back and forth between the headmaster and the staff. He slowly walked u to the staff as he asked his next question. "Does it do anything else?"

The chairman grinned. "It will also, once you learn how to use it, allow you to unlock your power." He said.

Ethan took one more look at the staff before returning his stare to the n=man behind the desk, a smile forming on his face.

"So long as you don't double cross me… I accept your gift"

(Flashback end)

Ethan's temper slowly rose as he remembered the image of the staff, He took in deep breaths as he tried to calm himself.

"Forget it. Just… forget it." He told himself. There was no point getting angry over this at the moment.

He got up, slung the case onto his back and walked up off. He walked around the campus for a bit, still annoyed at how he was having difficulty with his abilities. After learning that he had enough to take a tank head on, he thought he could get more use out of it. Instead, it was causing him more grief. No matter how much he tried, he couldn't forget about it.

As he entered the school, he heard a group of girls muttering to each other, one of them saying the name "Yukari Sendo" and "attacked". Catching his attention, he turned to them and tapped one of the girls on their shoulders. They all turned in his direction.

"Excuse me, I'm sorry for bothering you, but were you all talking about Yukari Sendo just now?" he asked.

One of the girls stepped forward, sporting short brown hair and green eyes. "Didn't you hear? The class representative and his friends attacked her. I think they were jealous that she got the highest mark in her year," she said.

Ethan frowned, but stayed calm. "Is she alright?" he asked.

The girl nodded. "Yes, Moka Akashiya saved her."

Another stepped forward with a happy expression on her face. "Isn't Moka Akashiya just brilliant? She's pretty, smart and she is willing to help those in trouble. I wish I could be more like her." She said, causing all the other girls to swoon. Ethan pinched the bridge of his nose from their silliness.

"Yeah… Moka does tend to think of others before herself." He said.

The girls stopped cold, jamming their faces right up to his. Ethan looked at them with confusion. "Did I say something wrong?" he asked.

"You know Moka!" one of them said.

"Is she as nice as people say?"

"How long have you known her?"

"What's her favourite food?"

Ethan couldn't help but smile at their eagerness. He answered the questions. "Yes, you couldn't meet a nicer person. I've only known her since the start of the year, but me and my friend got to know her pretty well since then. As for her favourite food… well I saAAAAAAAAAIE!"

Before Ethan could finish, he was pulled with incredible force by the neck of his jacket, causing the girls to look at them in shock. They all yelled with concern, but he didn't hear them. By the time the yanking stopped, Ethan whirled around with a low fist, aiming to give his kidnapper an uppercut, only to look in disbelief at who was responsible.

"TSUKUNE!?" he exclaimed.

Tsukune seemed rather flustered for some reason. "Ethan, hi, sorry to do that to you, but I needed to talk to you. Did you hear about Yukari Sendo?"

Ethan nodded in response. As he did, Tsukune continued to speak. "Well, the thing is… she's got a bit of an… obsession with Moka. After she saved her, she became more open about her… liking Moka."

Ethan looked at him in confusion. "Tsukune, come on. Every kid has someone they can look up to. I mean all the girls seem to love her nearly as much as the guys, only without the lust. So what's the real proble-oooh." Ethan said.

The last part of what he said confused Tsukune. However, he saw Ethan's confused and bewildered face look over behind him. Tsukune looked behind his shoulders to see what he was looking at, and was shocked by what he saw. Moka was walking down the hallway, her face as red as a cherry tomato, with a girl in a witches outfit clinging on to her… by her breast, of all places.

Ethan shifted his eyes towards Tsukune. "Ooookay. Now I get it."

"HEY, WHAT THE HECK DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING!?" Tsukune roared.

The girl that was clinging onto Moka jumped off, much to the vampiress' relief, and looked towards the boys. Ethan could see that she seemed around 11 years old, had raven hair, purple eyes and wore a different variation to the school's uniform to suit the witch had and cape she wore. She also had a stick with a large heart on top.

"So… you're Ethan drake, huh? I must say, the rumours don't give you nearly the justice you deserve. Of course, being Moka's friend, I'm not surprised." The girl said.

Ethan shook off his shock and looked at the girl with a smirk. "Yukari Sendo… I didn't think you'd be so young. Fair juice to you for getting here, and the test as well." He said.

Yukari nodded. "Thank you. Although I must say. The only thing I am quite disappointed in is the fact that you're friends with him." Yukari said, pointing at Tsukune.

"What do you mean?" Tsukune asked, more confused than offended.

"You're grades and physical ability are rather poor, you have no hobbies and you seem to show no form of variety in your life. You are by far the most ordinary person I met." She said. Tsukune grinned upon hearing that.

"You are not worthy of being with Moka!" she stated, shattering Tsukune's new-found pride in himself. "That's why I will not allow you to harass my love anymore!"

Ethan was a bit surprised at her determination to be in a relationship with her, considering the age difference. However, he was more focused on the fact that her heart-shaped stick start to glow. He waved it into the air. "Magic Wand!" she yelled.

As soon as she said that, brooms and other cleaning utensils flew out of different cupboards in the area and flew towards Tsukune, all of them giving him a good beating. Moka was astonished, but Ethan remained passive. They all watched Tsukune as he was forced to run away.

"Well, it could've been worse." Ethan muttered.

"Oh, Tsukune." Moka said with concern as she ran off. As she did, Ethan focused his attention on the little witch, who still seemed dissatisfied.

"I don't know why she bothers to hang out with him." She said.

Ethan walked up to her and patted the girl on her hat, which surprised her.

"Tsukune's not as ordinary as you think. During the fight against Saizou, he put his life on the line to save Moka, nearly getting killed in the process. Plus, after what the girl Kurumu did to the school, it was a miracle Tsukune convinced me not to kill her. The guy, whather he admits it or not, will always look out for those who need saving… no matter what the cost."

Ethan walked off from the girl, but as he did, the staff illuminated in his bag, this time shining through the material. It surprised both him and the witch, who wasn't too far away from him. The glow lasted for more than 10 seconds before the light faded.

"What… what was that?" Yukari asked.

Ethan ignored her as he quickly took the staff out of the bag. He examined it carefully, concerned that there was something wrong with the staff. Yukari walked up to his side, curious about the object. A thought suddenly came into her mind, making her gasp.

"Are… are you a warlock?" she asked.

Ethan shook his head. "No. All I'll tell you is that I've got nearly as much muscle as a vampire, and this stupid staff is supposed to help me control my power. But I don't know how it works."

Yukari scanned the staff briefly, her eyes stopping when she noticed the pentagram on the top, causing her eyes to widen.

"It's a seal!" she exclaimed.

Ethan turned back to her. "A seal?"

"I don't think you can use the staff properly because it's true power has been sealed. See the pentagram? It was used as a way to lock away demonic or other dangerous power." She explained.

This caught Ethan's interest. "If that's so, do you know how it can be undone?"

Yukari hesitated. "Well, yeah, but… power that's been sealed with the pentagram is too dangerous to be unleashed. Sorry, but I don't think it'd be a good idea."

Ethan sighed with disappointment. Seeing Yukari's saddened face, however, he placed a hand on her shoulder and smiled. "Sorry, don't mind me. I was getting pretty annoyed as to why I couldn't use the staff, that's all. If it's meant to be sealed, then so be It." He placed the staff back in the case. "Besides, it's still strong enough to beat up bullies with." He said with a mischievous smile, causing the witch to giggle.

Ethan stood back up and walked off, saying one last thing as he strode through the hallway. "Remember what I said about Tsukune. He may be naïve, but you couldn't meet a better person."

As Ethan walked off, Yukari was amazed that he held the ordinary boy in high regard. And, if what Ethan said was true, he must be a very caring person to risk his life like that. She looked at her own wand and pondered on the matter a bit more.

"Would he be friends with me after what I've done?" she said to herself.

As she was lost in thought, she didn't notice a green, scaly grab her from behind, causing her to drop her wand, unable to scream as another hand was clamped over her mouth.

"Don't worry. We're not going to hurt you… not yet anyway." Came a snake-like voice from behind.

…..

"Yukari? As in Yukari Sendo?"

After the magic controlling the brooms faded, causing them to clatter to the ground, he went to the nurse's office. He was surprised to see Kurumu, who in turn seemed overjoyed to see Tsukune. She leaped on to him, causing them both to collapse onto the ground. It was a bit awkward when Moka came into the office to see them both on the ground the way they were. Kurumu wasted no time in telling her about them being in a new relationship, which Tsukune denied immediately.

Moka was about to react to this when she felt a hand on her shoulder, being none other than Ethan. At the sight of him, Kurumu released Tsukune and pushed herself away from the staff-wielding teen. Ethan briskly caught up with her and held out a hand to help her up. Grateful, but cautious, she accepted. She then gave her apology to Ethan.

His response was a small nod and a small smirk. Seeing this, Tsukune gave Kurumu a large grin and a thumbs up, signalling that Ethan's response was good for her. While the girls helped Tsukune with his minor injuries, Ethan filled her in on what happened with Yukari. Kurumu was surprised to hear her name and asked for clarification.

Ethan nodded to her. "The one and the same. She may be smart, but she seems a bit like a trouble-maker too." He admitted.

"You're right about that. Since Yukari started here, she played a lot of pranks on the students. It was partly for attention, but it was mainly out of revenge for everyone making fun of her. Honestly, I'm surprised she wasn't attacked sooner." Kurumu said.

Moka looked concerned. "I guess it can't be easy. Her race is closely associated with the humans. Plus, with the salem witch trials all those years ago, the humans don't seem to like them either." She said.

Tsukune widened hi eyes with shock upon hearing this, soon followed by letting his head hang. "I can't believe that they are hated so much like that." Tsukune said, his hands balling up into fists. "It's just so…"

"Criminal?" Ethan suggested, prompting a nod from Tsukune.

Ethan walked up to the office window and proceeded to stare at it. "That's the way of the world. Ladies and gentleman. Hate and prejudice is all too common." He then looked back at them briefly. "But that's where we kick in." he said, prompting confused looks from all present.

"This school may focus on teaching us how to adapt into human society, but it also helps us to understand humans better too. I reckon the day we stop hating each other and focus on trying to understand each other, there'll be no need for all this conflict anymore." He said.

Everyone was silent as he spoke, looking at him with slight awe at his determination. His belief in a world of peace, co-existence between the two worlds… as strange as it sounded to the girls, mostly to Kurumu, Moka grinned at his vision, While Tsukune sat smiling at him. As gloomy as he could be sometimes, he could be quite the optimist.

Ethan continued to stare out the window for another moment, pondering on what to do next. However, his peaceful expression changed to surprise, slowly morphing into anger as he pressed himself up against the window. Ethan whirled around and practically blasted out of the office, shocking Tsukune and the girls.

"What the… Ethan?" Tsukune called out, only to receive silence as an answer.

"Why did he rush off like that?" Moka asked.

Kurumu went up to the window he was looking out, wanting to know what set him off. She gasped when she saw the source. "Yukari's being kidnapped!"

"WHAT!?" Tsukune and Moka said simultaneously. They rushed up to the window to see Yukari being dragged off into the forest by a trio of males, all seemingly wanting to cause her harm.

"C'mon, we've got to stop them!" Moka said. As Tsukune and Kurumu nodded in agreement, they all rushed out the door to try and catch up with them. Unknown to any of them, however, on one of the beds laid a familiar guitar case.

….

Yukari was thrown back up against one of the trees in the forest. As she tried to get her breath back, she looked up into the eyes of the class representative, which seemed to be filled with murder. His two lackeys also had the same, deathly glare radiating towards the young witch. She was unable to move at first, her fear getting the best of her.

"Finally, at long last, we have you." Said the class rep.

"What're we going to do with her, boss?" said one of the followers.

The leader stayed silent for a moment, trying to think of a solution. He then smiled as he thought of a gruesome idea. "I say we just tear her apart and hang her corpse out for Akashiya to see, that'll teach her to meddle in our business."

"Alright! That's so sick!" said the other lackey.

Yukari shivered for a moment longer, before calming herself and readying her wand. She knew she couldn't just sit around and wait for them to attack her. She waved her wand around as quickly as she could. "Magic Wand!" she cried.

As soon as she said it, three water basins appeared out of thin air, each one rocketing and slamming onto a member of the group. It disoriented them for a bit; she thought see had time to run. However, as she tried to escape, she felt something snag onto her cape. She looked back and saw that one of the three kidnappers who grabbed onto it.

He stared at her with a look of rage. "You're going to pay for that one, you little brat!" he said as he pulled Yukari back and raised a fist into the air. As he did, his form began to change. His became green and scaly, his head morphed into that of a lizard and he grew out a tail, which burst out of his trousers.

Yukari gasped. "Lizard Men!" she said out loud.

"That's right. And let me tell you something, if you think you're going to get out of this mess, then you're dead wrong!" the scaly enemy said as he brought down his, now clawed, hands towards her, Yukari held her breath as she waited for the end.

Only to see something fly directly above her.

As it did, it collided with the lizard man, creating a few cracking noise in the process. The Scaly enemy was rocketed back while the object that crashed into him landed a few feet in front of Yukari.

She recognised who it was instantly.

"Ethan… is that you?" she asked.

Ethan didn't respond. Instead, she started walking up to the Lizard men, cracking his knuckles as he did so.

The leader got back onto his feet, struggling to stand at first, but managed to heal surprisingly quickly. "Did you really think you could take me down with a little smack like that?" he asked, laughing haughtily after.

Ethan answered his question with illuminated eyes as he put his hands together and slammed them into the ground. The result was a wave of energy that broke the ground into pieces as the energy traveled straight towards the lizard men. They managed to avoid it, but the energy continued for another fifty feet, increasing the range of damage the further it traveled.

The lizards looked back at Ethan with astonishment. "What the hell are you?" asked the first lackey.

Ethan shrugged his shoulders in response. He was about to move again when, at the worst possible time, his energy began to fade again. He collapsed down to one knee and began breathing heavily. This caused Yukari to scream with shock and the Lizard men to laugh at him.

"Seriously? After that big show you gave us, you get tired now?" asked the leader as he walked up to him. As he stood directly above him, he raised a claw high into the air, ready to tear the boy to shreds. He instantly brought down the claw, causing Yukari to turn away, unable to bear watching Ethan being brought down like that.

She heard the claws hit their mark, causing her to make a small whimper. However, there was a different voice grunting in pain. She turned back to see Ethan a few feet from the Lizard men, with Tsukune gripping onto his jacket

And a number of claw marks embedded in his back.

Ethan looked behind him in surprise, then shock as he saw Tsukune there, as well as being injured.

"You IDIOT! Why did you come here!?" Ethan roared at him.

Tsukune gave him a wide smile, despite being in great pain. "You didn't think I could just stand by and let my friends get hurt, did you?" he asked.

That sentence caught Yukari's attention. "Fr… Friends?" she asked.

Tsukune looked back to her, giving her a nod. "Yeah. I know you've been alone for a lot of your life, me and Ethan were too… but now you don't have to be alone anymore, Yukari. Okay?"

Yukari was having difficulty processing what she was seeing and hearing. Despite what she did to him, he still wants to be friends with her. She then smiled and nodded in response.

"Looks like Ethan was right." She thought to herself.

"Grrr… That's IT! I can't TAKE ANYMORE OF THIS STUPIDITY!" roared the class rep as he pounced towards the witch again. "I'm going to tear you to PIECES!"

As he was airborne, however, he felt something latch onto his leg. He was then pulled back and slammed into the ground. He then felt his arms being put behind his back and then pushed down onto it. The class rep looked up and saw that it was Ethan who was pushing him down, despite starting to sweat and breathe heavily as his eyes continued to glow.

"Ethan, stop, you'll tire yourself out! You haven't even learned how to control your power yet!" Tsukune yelled.

"TSUKUNE! YUKARI!"

All eyes turned towards the source of the voice. It was Moka, with Kurumu not too far behind her.

The class rep looked to his henchmen. "GET THEM!" he roared. With that, the two morphed into lizard forms as well and rushed towards the girls. They easily managed to avoid them and made their way to their friends.

"Oh my God! Are you okay?" she asked them all.

"Well… I'm struggling to keep down a lizard man and Tsukune's hurt, so… not so much." Ethan managed to say. He was doing a good job restraining the enemy, but he couldn't do it forever. He looked to Tsukune.

"See if you can get the rosary off, we'll need her help!" Ethan said.

Moka and Tsukune looked concerned. "It didn't work last time!" Tsukune replied.

"I don't think it's a simple yank of the chain and "presto", I think you have to truly wish to have it removed. Hurry up!" Ethan exclaimed. His grip on the lizard man was weakening and the other two were preparing for another attack.

Moka and Tsukune looked at each other. Moka nodded and rushed over to Tsukune. He wrapped his hand around the rosary and, with all his will and might, managed to snap off the object from her choker. As soon as she did, the world once again turned crimson from the energy, and Moka began to morph back into the inner persona Tsukune and Ethan had only seen once before.

The silver haired vampiress scanned the area with her scarlet eyes, noticing the looks of awe from them all. Kurumu, in particular, seemed rather afraid.

"She must be afraid of what would've happened if I fought her earlier." She thought. Her gaze met the class rep's immediately after, causing him to freeze. "If you and your allies are entertained through he torture of others, you are not worthy of carrying a badge of honour." She said to him.

With that, the lizard broke free from his restraint, knocking Ethan onto his back, and lunged for Moka. "I WILL NOT BE DEFEATED BY THE LIKES OF YOU! NONE WHO ARE BENEATH ME SHALL ESCAPE MY WRATH!" he roared.

The vampiress gave him a serious look. "Know your place." She said simply. When the lizard was close enough, she whirled around and slammed her foot into his face, sending him flying through the woulds over a lake, skipping across it each time he touched the surface.

The vampiress smirked at how easy it was. However, she didn't notice the remaining two lizards behind her. Ethan brought himself back onto his knees. He saw the lizards going for Moka, intending on attacking from behind. With what little strength he had left, he screamed her name to get her attention.

"MOKAAAAAA!"

As Ethan roared, a bright flash of light erupted from his mouth. After a second, the light was formed into a pillar of fire as it shot at the remaining Lizard men, sending them into nearby trees and scorching their clothing. When the fire faded, Ethan collapsed.

Everyone, save for Tsukune, was surprised. Even the stone-face Moka couldn't help but raise her eyebrows at the unexpected display of power.

"Ethan!" Yukari and Kurumu yelled as they made their way over, Kurumu carrying Tsukune by the shoulders.

Tsukune couldn't help but chuckle. "I knew there was a hot-head in him somewhere." He said.

"This isn't the time for jokes Tsukune!" Kurumu replied. After a few seconds of silence from the boy, she looked at him and saw that he had fallen unconscious. The girl was about to panic when Inner Moka placed a hand on her shoulder.

"You needn't fear. Both are simply worn out from the experience." She said. Her gaze then caught Ethan. "Him, more so than Tsukune."

"How was he able to do that?" Kurumu asked.

Inner Moka stayed silent for a moment before going over to Ethan and slinging him over her shoulder. "Let's bring these boys to the infirmary."

As Moka was about to walk off, she felt a tug on her skirt. She looked down and saw a bashful looking Yukari, clearly trying to say something.

"Moka… or… whoever you are… I… thank you for helping me." She said.

The silver-haired vampiress was still for a moment, before giving the girl a proud smile. "Your welcome. Now, come, we could use your magic to help heal these two."

The girl nodded in response. As they made their way out, the class rep had managed to swim back to the shore. He had reverted to his human form, as he was too tired to fight. All he could do was look at the group in fury and hatred.

"How dare they? I'm class representative. They have no right to do this to me!" he said. Somehow, he managed to get back onto his feet. His uniform was severely torn and was bleeding from many places, but couldn't care less. "Watch out, Akashiya, Drake, and those other freak friends of yours. I'm going to kill you all, even if it's the last thing I ever d-"

Before he could finish, a curved blade penetrated his chest, through the sternum and the tip pointing upward. After one second exactly, the blade quickly travelled upward, cleaving the top half of the class rep into two. As his corpse fell to the ground, his killer stood over him.

It was a male that seemed to be around the same age as the first years, he wore black and white digital camo pants, black flat-tip sneakers, a plain black t-shirt and a grey, short sleeved jacket with a hood that concealed his face. In his hand, he held a scythe. IT wasn't anything intimidating, a simple black pole connected to a scythe blade, but the stream of blood dripping from the point of the weapon all but proved its efficiency. From beneath the hood, the figure smiled. "Can't have you messing up the experiment, now, can we?" the figure said to the corpse with a feint welsh accent. He then looked into the direction of where the group walked off in.

"Alright… time to get my staff back." He said, as he dematerialised the staff and walked towards the school.

[Alright, that's another chapter finished. I'll be honest, trying to add an OC into the story as well as Tsukune is a real pain, but that won't stop me from writing this story any time soon. In case anyone was upset about the last chapter, I give a sincere apology, but I won't be making any changes to it. I say this because I myself felt it wasn't my best work, but I will strive to improve from this point on. Also, I updated the image for the story, mainly because I thought it would be better t use one more closely related to Rosario + Vampire. Anyway, time to work on the next chapter, see you all later]

Gb: I need to ask, is an OC pairing that bad? Even if it's, hypothetically, with another OC?
