Danny was walking towards Yokai Academy, admiring the forest around him. It was dark and creepy, and Danny felt right at home.
"This place is awesome." Danny said as he looked at the building in the distance. It looked like a gothic building from the middle ages. Danny kept walking until he heard a strange sound.
"Is that a bike?" he asked the air.
"Look out!" He heard a girl's voice cry, before something slammed into him, making him tumble over a few feet.
"Ugh, what was that?" Danny asked no one as he got up with one hand on his head and one on the ground. Only, it wasn't the ground. It was soft, and smooth, and in all honesty, it felt nice to Danny. He looked up and saw a girl, with beautiful green eyes and pink hair.
"I'm sorry." The girl mumbled.
"I'm anemic, so I get major dizzy spells." She explained, still shaking off the aforementioned dizzy spell.
"Holy hell, she's gorgeous!" Danny thought in awe. He suddenly noticed where his hand was and quickly pulled away, as he was touching her inner thigh.
"I'm so sorry!" He said quickly, blushing. The girl shook her head, also blushing.
"Don't worry about it; we did fall, so it's not under your control where your hands fall." She said, still blushing. Danny chuckled awkwardly, rubbing the back of his head. He suddenly felt a small stinging sensation on his cheek, and touched it.
"Ah!" he hissed in pain.
"Oh, you're bleeding! Let me help." The girl said she got a handkerchief out of her pocket and went up to Danny. She carefully swabbed the blood away, but stopped halfway through, looking really dazed.
"That smell..." The girl muttered and fell into Danny's lap.
"Are you OK?" Danny asked in concern. She suddenly put her hands on her Danny's cheeks.
"I'm sorry I can't help it, because I'm a vampire." She said and bit into Danny's neck, sucking his blood.
"Whoa, hey!" Danny said as he shuffled back a bit.
"Oh my goodness! I'm so sorry!" The girl said as she got up and bowed apologetically.
"You bit me…" Danny said in shock as he rubbed his neck. It wasn't overly painful, more like a bruise than anything else.
"I am so sorry; the smell was just too intoxicating…" The girl muttered in embarrassment.
"Did I hurt you?" She asked in concern. Danny shook his head and smiled softly.
"No, not really. I'm fine." He assured her.
"That's a relief." The girl said with a sigh. She then looked at the ground with a sad look.
"Do you… Do you hate vampires?" she asked softly. Danny shook his head and stood up.
"I'm not one to judge someone by what they are." Danny said with a smile. The girl squealed in happiness.
"Oh that's great! Can we be friends then?" She asked happily. Danny chuckled.
"Of course. My name's Daniel Noctus, but you can call me Danny." Danny said with a smile.
"My name is Moka Akashiya. Nice to meet you Danny." The now named Moka said with a smile.
"So, are you American?" Moka asked as they walked. Danny nodded.
"I could tell, you have an American accent, and 'Danny' is an American name." Moka smiled. Danny chuckled.
"I guess those would be a dead giveaway, wouldn't they?" Danny responded, making Moka chuckle as well. After a little more chatting and getting to know each other, the 2 went their separate ways to put their stuff in their dorms, Danny changed into his uniform, and then they went to their first class.
"Hello class, my name is Shizuka Nekonome, I am your homeroom teacher. Please allow me to welcome you to Yokai Academy!" The teacher, Ms Nekonome said happily. She had blond hair, glasses, tight clothing, and cat ears and tail.
"A Nekomaton. They come from Japanese mythology." Danny mused in his head.
"As I'm sure you're all aware, Yokai is a school for Monsters" Ms Nekonome said with a bright smile.
"The purpose of this school is to teach you students how to blend in with human society." She continued.
"Like it or not, the world's population is 90% human, so the 10% of monsters must learn to co-exist with humans. That brings us to rule #1. 'Except under special circumstances, you must always remain in human form.' Follow this rule, and the others will be easy to follow." Ms Nekonome finished. Suddenly, one student raised his hand. He had brown hair and eyes and a lip ring. He looked like a typical delinquent. Ms Nekonome gestured for him to talk.
"Couldn't we just eat the humans? Though I would have a use for the cute girls before eating." He said as he flicked his forked tongue.
"Don't be ridicules." Ms Nekonome said.
"You don't have to worry about humans here. If they got past our barrier, they would be killed in an instant." She added.
"Hmm, better not let anyone know I'm half human." Danny thought.
"Whatever you say Teach, but I swear I can smell a human in this room." He said with a bit of disdain. Danny shuddered a bit. He knew he could probably beat most of the monsters here, but that guy was creepy, in disgusting way, not scary.
Out of nowhere, the door slid open.
"I am so sorry! I got lost in the halls, so was a little late." A girl's voice said. Danny instantly knew that voice. He looked and saw Moka standing at the entrance.
"Not a problem. Go take a seat." The teacher said with a smile. Moka nodded and entered. As she did so, the entire male population of the class went crazy.
"Who is she?"
"She's beautiful!"
"That silky hair, and sparkly eyes, that can't be a disguise!"
"My whole life is suddenly worth something!"
Danny rolled his eyes at the constant yammering. Moka looked a bit uneasy, but headed over to an empty seat. She saw Danny sitting in front of her desk, and smiled brightly when he waved.
"Danny!" She squealed in happiness and pounced on him.
"I'm so happy we're in the same class!" She said as she hugged him.
"Wow, I have a feeling she and Ellie would get along well." Danny thought with a small chuckle.
"Alright enough, let's start our class." The teacher said. Moka got off of Danny and sat down. Danny felt quiet uncomfortable, with all the death glares he was receiving from the males in the class.
The school day passed rather peacefully for Danny, minus the death glares he was getting from the male population. Danny and Moka had just parted ways to head to their dorms. Danny's thoughts drifted to the cross on Moka's chest. He remembered Moka saying that it seals away most of her true power. Although, she still needed blood. She made that clear by biting his neck again. Danny was just about to enter the dorm building, when he heard a voice calling him.
"Yo, Noctus." The voice said. Danny turned and saw it was Saizo, the guy who said he had a 'use' for cute human girls.
"Can I help you?" Danny asked monotonously. Saizo chuckled evilly and quickly grabbed Danny, pushing him to the wall.
"You had a good time with Moka today, didn't you?" He hissed.
"I can't believe she wants to hang out with a wimp like you, when there's a real man around." Saizo said, gesturing to himself.
"Just what are you, anyway?" Saizo asked as he flicked his forked tongue. Danny smirked.
"Sorry, we're not supposed to reveal our true nature to students." Danny said smugly. Saizo retaliated by punching the wall next to Danny, shattering it like glass.
"It doesn't really matter. Stay away from Moka. If you talk to her again, you're dust." Saizo growled and walked away.
"What the hell is that guy's problem?" Danny thought with a roll of his eyes as he got up and headed to his room. He was thankful that the students get their own rooms in Yokai.
Having been reading in his room for about an hour, Danny had gotten bored and exited his room with his guitar that he brought with. He sat in a tree that was a small distance from the bus stop, and started playing Green Day's Boulevard of Broken Dreams.
I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's only me, and I walk alone
I walk this empty street
On the boulevard of broken dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one, and I walk alone
I walk alone, I walk alone
I walk alone and I walk a
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
Till then I walk alone
Ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah
I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line of the edge
And where I walk alone
Read between the lines
What's fucked up and every thing's all right
Check my vital signs to know I'm still alive
And I walk alone
I walk alone, I walk alone
I walk alone and I walk a
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
Till then I walk alone
Ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah
I walk alone, I walk a
I walk this empty street
On the boulevard of broken dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one, and I walk alone
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
Till then I walk alone
Danny concluded the song and took a few seconds to catch his breath.
"I love that song." He heard a voice say. He turned and saw it was Moka. Danny smiled at her.
"So do I." he replied and jumped down. They sat next to each other against the tree.
"Why do you like the song so much?" Moka asked him. Danny took a few minutes to contemplate the answer.
"Well, I guess it's because my family and friends were murdered in front of me." Danny mused, earning a gasp and wide eyes from Moka.
"It could also be because I'm the last male of my kind, and the last female is a blood relative. There was 1 more, but he died a few years ago." Danny added, remembering the day he killed Vlad's ghost half.
"I'm so sorry, that must have been awful." Moka whispered. Danny smiled sadly.
"I managed to move on, though I still get nightmares. But anyway, why do you like the song?" Danny asked. Unlike Danny, Moka didn't need to think about her answer, she already knew.
"I attended human schools all my life until last year. I was so lonely, they believed monsters were just fairy tales, and I felt like a freak. I hate the humans for what they did to me." She whispered with tears in her eyes.
"I started to think I would be better off not existing, but then you said you don't have a problem with vampires, and for the first time in my life, I didn't feel alone." Moka said with a happy smile and tears.
Danny looked at the ground, his hair covering his eyes. Moka looked at him with confusion.
"Danny, are you OK?" She asked.
"Moka, I told you there only 2 of my kind left. Do you know why we're so rare?" He asked her sadly. Moka shook her head.
"We're rare because we're not born naturally. We're created." He said with a hitch in his breath. Moka's eyes widened. She had a thought about where this was going.
"We're created when a human is infected with a particular substance, changing the human DNA, but still maintain human characteristics." He said as he looked at her, dead in the eyes.
"Even if I'm different, I'm still half human. Is that enough for you to hate me as much as the pure-blooded humans that I used to be one of?" he asked. Moka just stared at him in shock, unable to form a sentence.
"No answer? That's all the answer I need." He said emtionlessly and got up. He headed straight back to his room.
"It can't be true…" Moka sobbed.
"I finally make a real friend, and…" Moka couldn't continue and sobbed some more. She was quickly caught off guard by a familiar voice.
"So, what brings you here, all alone?" Saizo said from behind Moka.
"S-Saizo!" Moka exclaimed in shock and fear.
"If you're lonely, I'll make you feel better." He said with a lick of his lips. He suddenly started growing bigger, until his shirt and jacket ripped, revealing his true form to be an orc.
"You're gorgeous Moka. You see, I can't hold my human form when I'm around a girl like you!" He growled suggestively as his long tongue started wrapping around Moka's leg.
"No… DANNY!" she yelled in distress.
"DANNY!" A voice called, making Danny stop in his tracks. Danny turned around and looked in the direction he heard the voice come from. He couldn't see anything, but he could sense something bad coming from that direction, and a puff of black mist emerged from Danny's mouth.
"Moka!" he whispered in realisation and dropped his guitar case and ran towards the strange presence. He ran until he found Moka, being molested by a big ugly thing, which Danny somehow recognised as an Orc.
"Moka!" he called out to her. Moka and the creature looked at him. The creature growled.
"I told you to stay away from my Moka!" The Orc roared and lunged at Danny.
"So, this is your true form, eh Saizo? I must say, I am somewhat grossed out." Danny taunted.
"Danny, run! He's an orc! He's too strong!" Moka yelled desperately. Danny quickly dodged the blow, and landed next to Moka.
"Are you OK?" Danny asked her. Moka nodded with tears in her eyes.
"I'm so sorry Danny. I shouldn't have kept quiet. I don't care about what you are, I just wanted a friend, and I hurt the first real friend I ever had. I'm sorry." She sobbed. Danny smiled softly.
"Don't worry about it. I want to be your friend too Moka, and I protect my friends." Danny said with a grin. Saizo chuckled.
"You think you can protect her? Can you even protect yourself?" Saizo asked with an evil grin. Danny smirked at the beast.
"As a matter of fact, I can." Danny said. Out of nowhere, a dark blue ring of light appeared around Danny. It split, and engulfed Danny, changing him as it went. When the rings faded, Danny was wearing a plain black T-shirt, black jeans, white combat boots, black leather gloves and strips of leather twisting around his arms. On the chest of his shirt was a stylised W, and he wore a pendant of a scythe. Danny's appearance also changed; his hair was now snow white, his skin pale, his eyes were glowing dark maroon, and the scar over his left eye turned black.
"Wow…" Moka muttered in amazement.
"Let me handle this." Danny said and walked towards Saizo, who laughed hysterically.
"You think your little trick can scare me? You don't even have a demonic aura!" Saizo laughed. Danny knew what he was talking about, since he could feel energy coming off of Saizo.
"That must be what the black puff of mist meant." Danny mused in his head.
"Well? I'm waiting for you to attack." Danny taunted. Saizo growled and lunged at Danny, fist ready to hit. Danny easily blocked the hit, and sent Saizo flying with own punch.
"Home run!" Danny joked as Saizo hit the ground in the distance.
"Danny, are you OK? That punch looked strong, even if you blocked it." Moka said with concern.
"I'm fine." Danny said with a smile.
"Noctus! I'm gonna kill you!" They heard Saizo yell as he ran to them.
"I've heard that before." Danny monotoned.
"Moka get out of here." He said as Saizo started to get close. He pushed her to the side, but didn't realise he touched the rosary, causing to fall off.
"The rosary…" Moka whispered in shock as she felt herself falling asleep, for lack of a better word. A bright red light suddenly engulfed her, and Danny found himself struggling to breath.
"Holy shit… This energy is so powerful… and cold." Danny thought. With each exhalation, a puff of black mist emerged from his mouth.
Danny looked at Moka, and saw her changing. Her bust, which was already plentiful, grew, her bright pink hair turned silver, and her canines grew into fangs. She put on a smile, which was beautiful, cruel, seductive, and terrifying all in one. Her eyes opened, and Danny saw that they were blood red, with narrow slits for pupils.
"The legends… The red eyes… The silver hair… She's a vampire!" Saizo exclaimed in shock. Moka gave a slight giggle, which was both musical and sadistic at the same time.
"What's the matter? I thought you wanted me." Moka purred with a smirk.
"Well, I'm right here." She said seductively. Saizo roared and attacked her. Moka just yawned and delivered a swift kick, sending him flying.
"Know your place." She said as he landed and passed out. Moka turned her attention to Danny and walked towards him. Danny was shaking, his senses being overwhelmed by Moka's aura. Moka giggled at his shivering.
"Are afraid of this version of me?" She asked with a smirk.
"Aura… overwhelming… senses…" Danny managed to breathe out. Moka nodded and closed her eyes for a second. She opened them, and the aura dissipated, mostly.
"How's that?" She asked, still smiling. Danny took a deep breath.
"Better." Danny answered. Moka took the rosary from his hands.
"So, you're the side of Moka that has all the vampire strength, I would assume." Danny stated. Moka chuckled at the boy's antics.
"Indeed I am. I woke up a few hours ago." She said.
"How?" Danny asked, a little confused.
"You." She answered, earning more confusion from Danny.
"You were my first." She said sensually, enjoying the embarrassment that was on the Halfling's face.
"Until I met you, neither me, nor my other self had ever had blood from a living creature. It was exhilarating. It woke me up, but I can only control our shared body when the rosary is off." She said.
"So, I'm like a 'Vampire Velocity' or something?" Danny asked. (A/N: If you don't know, Velocity is an old energy drink.) Moka gave another of her musical and sadistic giggles.
"I've been asleep for some time, and I'm still drowsy." Moka said with a smile.
"Take of my other self for me." She said as she placed the rosary back. Her hair turned pink, and she passed out. Danny caught her before she could touch the ground.
"And that's it." Danny said, having concluded his explanation of what he is. He and Moka were sitting in the tree that he had played his guitar in earlier. Danny was in his ghost form at the moment.
"I call myself Wraith in this form." Wraith added. Moka looked deep in thought.
"I didn't know someone could be half ghost, half human." Moka said. Wraith smiled in amusement, revealing his fangs.
"And with the fangs, the white hair, and red-ish eyes, you like more like a vampire than anything else. If you had a demonic aura, you'd be able to pass for one, no problem." Moka mused. Wraith chuckled.
"First, my eyes are maroon, not red. Second, I do have an aura, though it's not exactly demonic, it is there. I can just hide it." Wraith explained. Moka nodded.
"Uh, Danny? Thank you, for staying my friend." Moka whispered. Wraith smiled and nodded.
"Danny, I get a bit nervous when I'm with you…" Moka said, blushing.
"Uhh, what?" Wraith asked.
"I'm sorry Danny, you smell so good, I can't help myself!" She yelled and pounced on him, sending them both to the ground, and sank her teeth into his neck.
"Are you sure you want to send your half-human son here?" The headmaster asked a figure behind him as he watched the scene through his window.
"I do. This school will have many benefits to him." Clockwork said as he came out of the shadows. The headmaster nodded.
"With this, my debt to you is repaid." The headmaster said. Clockwork nodded and created a ghost portal to his tower.
"Before I go, you should know, Daniel is going to need your help soon. Can I trust that you will be there?" Clockwork asked. The headmaster nodded.
"Good. Keep an eye on him when you can, he may be what you're looking for." Clockwork said with a smirk, earning wide eyes from the headmaster.
A/N: OK, just a heads up, I will be following the MANGA, not the anime in this fanfic.
