I have enjoyed the anime and manga series of Rosario Vampire, and I have always loved the character of Virgil Hawkins. I don't think Static gets as much love as he deserves in DC comics nowadays, so I wanted to write this to pay love to two franchises I really love.
I also want to pay respects to spearcell96's Static Shock and Rosario Vampire story as well. He did an excellent job adapting the characters to fit in the same universe as one another. His story is what made me want to write my own, so thank you spearcell96.
This version of Virgil Hawkins is a combination of both his Static Shock character and his Static character in Young Justice.
Disclaimer: I own neither Static Shock nor Rosario Vampire. Support the official release of both (even though neither of them are coming out nowhere anymore)
Static Shock and Rosario Vampire Crossover
Hero at Yokai Academy
Chapter 1: Another Year, Another Challenge Part 1
The morning was surprisingly brisk, as Virgil Hawkins stepped outside of the Japanese airport. The morning was still somewhat early, but the airport was buzzing like crazy. Busy men and women were rushing around the young bang-baby, all of them seemingly in their own personal crisis. Virgil had seen fast places before, but he could tell that most would not size up to Tokyo.
As Virgil stood outside near the airport terminal's cab section, he could not help but feel out of place. The bang baby pulled out his phone and glanced at the screensaver. It was a picture of himself and his best friend Richie. They were taking a group photo with the Justice League and their young protégés. Of course, Richie and Virgil had been invited as Gear and Static respectively, and that was just because they had just saved the Justice League's base from an attack by a techno-virus made by Lex Luthor and Amanda Waller. But that wasn't important.
As Virgil looked at the picture, he stopped on Wonder Woman and her protégé, Wonder Girl. Virgil let out a sigh of sadness.
"This…sucks." Virgil grumbled to himself.
Flashback:
Virgil nearly spit the eggs out of his mouth, when Bruce Wayne walked into his kitchen with his father right behind him. Seeing the shock on Virgil's face, Bruce let out a soft chuckle.
"No way." Virgil coughed out, trying to wipe up the mess he had just made. While Virgil tried to stop looking like a complete idiot, his older sister Sharon stood up and shook Bruce's hand.
"Oh my God! You're Bruce Wayne!" Sharon cooed in excitement. She then become flushed as she giggled, "You are so much more handsome in person."
Bruce smiled and nodded, "Thank you very much, Sharon. Your father has told me a lot about you." Bruce then looked at Virgil and gave him a nod, "He's told me a lot about the both of you, actually."
Virgil finished cleaning up, and then smirked at Bruce, "Oh, is that so, Mr. Wayne."
Virgil's father cleared his mouth and then nodded to his son, "Virgil, Mr. Wayne is helping to fund one of our newest community action programs here in Dakota City. It will be a sister program that he is doing with Gotham. He and I are spearheading the project together."
"That's amazing daddy!" Sharon smiled at her father, and Virgil himself had to admit that was impressive. But he had a feeling that was not all Mr. Wayne had wanted. It had only been a couple weeks earlier when he and Batman stopped Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn from manipulating one of Virgil's old classmates, Allie Langford. And that was also when Virgil and Bruce discovered each other's secret identities. But in Bruce's defense, Virgil was only allowed to know his ID after he gained his trust. Bruce learned Virgil's identity because Virgil was silly enough to carry around his high school ID with him on patrols as Static.
Even after all of this, it still didn't explain why Bruce was in his home.
"So, what are you doing here Mr. Wayne?" Virgil asked.
Sharon rolled her eyes and quickly said to her little brother, "Oh my God, Virgil! Don't be rude. If Bruce Wayne wants to come visit us, he can definitely come and say hello."
"I hope I'm not intruding, Robert." Bruce said to Virgil's father. Robert Hawkins smiled at the billionaire and shook his head.
"Of course, you're not, Mr. Wayne. Virgil is a very excitable when he is about to go out with his friend Richie." Robert glanced at Virgil and gave him a nod. Virgil raised an eyebrow at this, as Bruce pulled out an envelope and handed it out to Virgil.
Virgil raised an eyebrow as he cautiously took the envelope. As Virgil went to open it, Bruce quickly said, "Actually, Virgil. Would you mind if you and I opened it in your room?"
Bruce looked at Robert and nodded, "Can I have five minutes to speak with your son?"
"Of course." Robert said.
Once again, Virgil could not help but be very confused, but he decided it would be best to roll with the punches. So, Virgil led Bruce Wayne to his room, and Bruce quickly closed the door.
"So, what is this all about?" Virgil asked, as he turned to Bruce. However, Bruce had already taken a seat at Virgil's computer desk. Bruce had inserted a flash drive into the computer, and the monitor immediately went black. Suddenly, the monitor turned back on and thousands of files began encrypting themselves into Virgil's simple computer.
"Wow…" Virgil said in awe. Then the bang baby mused, "What do you call that? Your bat-drive?"
Bruce glanced back at Virgil and then back at the computer screen. "Did you open the envelope yet?"
"Is there actually something in here? I thought it was just gonna be a blank piece of paper so you could get me alone." Virgil admitted, as he opened the envelope. Virgil raised an eyebrow when he saw the words, 'Congratulations Virgil Hawkins, you have been accepted into Yokai Academy for this upcoming school year'.
"An acceptance letter?" Virgil questioned Bruce, "I never applied to anywhere. Where is this…academy anyways?"
"Japan." Bruce simply said, as he finished at Virgil's computer. Bruce stood from the chair and looked at Virgil, "Virgil, one a mission against the Legend of Assassins, I caught wind of a secret school in Japan that was using the League was using as a recruiting ground for future members. I didn't get much information, but anything that I can do to strike the League is what I will do. I have a mission for you."
"A mission?" Virgil gulped quickly, and Bruce nodded. Virgil was not good at reading faces, but he could tell that Bruce was about to give him an insane task to complete. "Oh man."
Flashback ends
"Oh man." Virgil grumbled again, still looking at the group photo. He hated to admit it, but he had fun getting to know some of the proteges of the epic Justice League. And he had even began growing close to Cassie or Wonder Girl. The two had begun doing patrols together, when Richie started dating his new girlfriend. Cassie was always a great friend.
Virgil suddenly felt a slap on his back, and he shivered in shock. "What are you waiting for, hermano?!" Virgil turned around to see a young Hispanic teenager, with a wide grin across his face. The body looked around Virgil's age, and he was carrying luggage too.
"I'm sorry, do I know you?" Virgil asked the new guy, who immediately put his hand out to shake Virgil's.
"Jaime Reyes. And you are-" Jaime started, but Virgil quickly interrupted him.
"I'm Virgil Hawkins. I'm waiting on the bus to take me to my new high school." Virgil said, as Jaime raised an eyebrow to him. Virgil saw the look of confusion on Jaime's face and then he nodded, "Umm…so have you heard of this place called Yokai Academy? That's where I'm going."
"I'm going there too, bro. The bus is right there." Jaime pointed past Virgil's shoulder, and Virgil was surprised to see the old yellow school bus parked right in front of where he was standing.
'How the hell did I miss the bus pull up to me? How long was it here?' Virgil couldn't help but ask himself. The bus doors swung open, and the bus driver looked at both Jaime and Virgil. The bus driver seemed like an older man, with a formal blue bus driver uniform. Virgil could not help but get a very creepy vibe from this driver. The bang baby glanced at Jaime, and he immediately saw that he was not the only one creeped out.
"Climb aboard. We don't want you to be late for your first day." The bus driver laughed to the two young men.
Jaime then quipped back, "Yeah, but we do want to arrive there alive."
The bus driver began to chuckle at Jaime's statement. Jaime smirked in confidence, knowing that his jokes were still the best. That smirk disappeared when the bus driver laughed down to the two boys, "Getting there alive isn't the hard part. Leaving there alive is what you may have trouble with."
Both boys stared up at the bus driver with looks of disbelief. The bus driver fired back a blank stare that two boys, and an awkward silence began. After the silence hung in the air for several seconds, a car honked began the bus, causing Virgil and Jaime to jump in shock. The Japanese cab driver got out of his car and began yelling at both Virgil and Jaime, so the two boys climbed onto the bus.
'Batman sent me here for a mission. Don't worry, it's just a mission. You can do this.' Virgil said, as he scanned the bus. There was only one other student here on the bus, and he was an average looking teenager with brown hair and brown eyes. He was also wearing the same uniform as Virgil and Jaime. The two American boys huddled in the seats near the new boy, as the bus pulled off.
"That was loco, right?" Jaime whispered to the new boy, who looked a bit uncomfortable already. The young man nodded, and quietly whispered back to both Virgil and Jaime.
"Yeah, I'm Aono Tsukune. When this guy picked me up, he was saying a bunch of weird off the wall stuff like he just said to you guys before you got on." Tsukune whispered to the two boys.
Virgil nervously chuckled as the bus began driving through the city, and towards a tunnel in the side of a mountain. "Don't worry, guys. We're going to high school. What's the worst that could happen?"
"Don't make a habit out of saying that, hermano." Jaime warned Virgil, as the three boys stood outside of the bus, staring out at a sea of blood. After going through the dark void of a tunnel, the bus had emerged on this side, and the city was nowhere in sight. And then there was also a cliff with a scarecrow hung on a post at the end of the cliff.
Tsukune looked over the side of the cliff and he grew pale. "No way…is that blood? A sea of blood?"
"Could be worse…" Jaime tried to say to Tsukune, as Virgil glared at the boy.
Virgil then quickly quipped, "And you're talking to me about saying the last final words."
Tsukune glanced back at the two, and then he pointed past the two, "Hey! Where is the bus?!" Both Jaime and Virgil swung around to see the bus was now gone. Virgil blinked in shock, well Jaime shook his head and gulped.
"I don't know." Jaime said, with what sounded like a bit of panic in his voice. Virgil was about to say something to Jaime to calm him down, but then Jaime said again, with a bit more frustration, "I said, I don't know."
Virgil gave Jaime a suspicious look, as Jaime tried to wave off the young man. Tsukune was now shaking in his boots. First the weird bus driver, now a sea of blood. And the bus is gone. What the hell was going on?
Tsukune then caught a glimpse of a tall tower in the distance, through the dark and deserted forest.
"I see a building, I think." Tsukune said to the two boys. Virgil and Jaime backed up to be side to side to Tsukune and they saw the building as well.
"I guess that's where we go." Virgil sighed, "Hopefully they'll show us where the school is."
Jaime rolled his eyes and grumbled, "Oh yeah. Cause showing up late to class seems like the least of our worries right now."
Virgil began walking towards the entrance to the dark forest, and Jaime was right on his heels. Tsukune sighed and followed after the two, not wanting to have to travel through the forest alone.
The three boys got halfway through the forest, just making annoying and dumb little quips to try to keep themselves calm. Tsukune definitely seemed like the worst out of the three, but Jaime and Virgil did not seem to mind. Tsukune could not tell why, but he felt like the two were developing a bit of a rivalry, and they just all met each other.
"This place is really creepy." Jaime mused, as the three boys walked through an abandoned graveyard. Jaime scanned the area with his eyes, and he hated the fact that this place reminded him of a dumb b-list zombie movie he had seen a couple weeks ago.
"I've seen worse." Virgil laughed back to Jaime and Tsukune. Jaime narrowed his eyes at Virgil, then he glanced back at Tsukune to see what his reaction was. Jaime was not surprised to see Tsukune cautiously also looked around for danger.
The three heard a noise in the distance, and Jaime and Virgil seemed to get into a defensive state very quickly. However, they seemed to chill when a small bat flew over their heads. As the bat flew past them, Tsukune let out a refreshing laughter, which caused both Jaime and Virgil to get hot in the face.
"You guys were getting all scared of a bat." Tsukune laughed as he past the two boys. Both Virgil and Jaime couldn't help but smile at Tsukune's correct observation. Jaime's smile quickly disappeared.
"What did you say?" Jaime asked with a sudden urgency. Both Tsukune and Virgil looked at him with confused looks.
"He just roasted us pretty bad, man. Do you really want him to say it again?" Virgil joked.
Jaime then waved Virgil off, and quickly noted, "Hey, there is something coming hermanos. And it's in a hurry."
"How do you know that?" Virgil asked.
Tsukune then quipped, now feeling more comfortable with the two Americans. "Yeah, maybe it's another bat." A pink bicycle suddenly slammed into Tsukune's back at full force. For a single second, all Jaime and Virgil could see was a pink blur. As Tsukune and the bike went flying forward, both Jaime and Virgil then realized there was a girl on that bike, with long bubblegum pink hair that flowed wildly in the wind. The girl and Tsukune crashed to the ground, while the bike went tumbling into an open grave.
"Holy…" Jaime started.
"Tsukune!" Virgil yelled out to the new boy they had just met. After seeing that crash, Virgil just had a feeling that Tsukune was definitely dead. However, after hearing a soft moan, both Virgil and Jaime caught on that Tsukune was alive and well. And so was the beautiful young lady that had crashed into him. Tsukune had his hand on the girl's exposed upper leg and she had her eyes closed tight, as if she were still in pain from the crash. She wore a school uniform similar to the guys, but besides pants she wore a skirt. She also had on a choker, with a silver rosary attached to it. The rosary had a crimson gem in the center of it, with an insane looking black gash in it.
"I'm so sorry." The girl moaned aloud to Tsukune, "I didn't mean to run into you, I just got so dizzy." The girl flicked the hair in front of her face as she opened her beautiful green eyes to look at Tsukune. The second her eyes locked into Tsukune's, Tsukune's brain went dead. This beautiful girl had just crashed into him, and he already had his hand on her legs.
'Could this day get any better?' Tsukune thought to himself, as his hand slipped off of Moka's hand and went towards her skirt. Moka caught his hand with lightning fast speed.
The pink haired girl began to blush extremely hard as she tried to form coherent words. "Um…um…ugh-"
Virgil and Jaime watched this all unfold, and then Virgil nodded, "We should probably go over to help Tsukune, right."
"Help Tsukune? Would you really want two other guys to get in between a stunning beauty like that girl and yourself?" Jaime smirked at Virgil, then did a double take of the girl and shook his head in shock, "You must be crazy."
"AAAAH!" Tsukune shouted out, which caused both boys to look back in his direction. He was crawling away from the girl, shaking his head in intense fear. "I'm so sorry! It's not what you think! That was definitely an accident."
Jaime sighed at Tsukune's lack of style or coolness, then he glanced at Virgil, who was most likely thinking the same thing. "Ooookay. This is the point where we should go in and help him out."
Virgil and Jaime walked over to the two teenagers who were still on the ground. Virgil then noticed that Tsukune was bleeding from his nose. It must have been because of the crash.
"Oh, you're bleeding!" The beautiful girl said, as she pulled out a cloth and moved in on Tsukune to help him. Tsukune blushed at how close the girl came in on him. Both Jaime and Virgil stopped again and began backing away.
"Maybe now isn't the time to walk up on them." Virgil chuckled, and Jaime grumbled to himself.
"God, I wish that were me."
"I can't…I really shouldn't." The girl whispered so close to Tsukune. Tsukune could feel her breath on his face, and he began blushing even harder. The girl smelt sweet, like cherries. As Tsukune took another sniff of the girl's hair, both Virgil and Jaime turned around and began walking away.
"Yep, we'll just leave this to him." Jaime chuckled.
As the two boys walked away from the scene, they heard Tsukune once again make a shout of shock. Both teens rolled their eyes as they turned around. But much to their surprise, this girl was kissing on Tsukune's neck while the young man reached out his hand in confusion.
"What the-" Virgil started.
The girl then immediately pulled away from Tsukune and then yelled, "Oh, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to!"
"You bit me!" Tsukune quickly exclaimed, and Jaime shook his head as he began laughing.
"Oh man! This is gonna be good." Jaime chuckled, as he and Virgil moved over to Tsukune and the girl again, this time not turning back. The girl was on her feet now, and she finally noticed the two young men. She all the guys were wearing the same outfit, and then she sweetly began speaking to the boys.
"Oh! Are you all going to Yokai Academy too?" The girl asked. Jaime blushed, looking away from the sweet girl, and Tsukune was still very flustered in a mixture of confusion and arousal.
Virgil rolled his eyes at his two companions and then nodded to Moka, "Yeah, we're all going to Yokai Academy. We're all first-year students."
"Shut up, I am not." Jaime bashfully said looking down at ground, almost in a pouting mood. The three other teens looked at Jaime, who shook his head, "Wait. I am a first year…it's just...I wasn't talking to you guys." Jaime saw the confusion on the faces of the teens grow more prominent, so he just sighed and whispered.
"Ignore me, please."
"Smooth." Virgil smirked at Jaime.
The girl then smiled at Jaime and nodded, "Don't worry, I talk to myself a lot too. So, we're all first-year students, that's so great!"
Virgil pulled Tsukune off his butt, as the girl collected her things off the ground. Jaime helped dust off Tsukune, who was still rubbing his neck.
"You all good, man?" Virgil whispered to Tsukune, and the young man looked at the bang baby in confusion.
Tsukune whispered to Virgil, as the girl walked over and frowned at her lost bike. "She bit me, man! It was crazy. Like it doesn't really hurt, but she still bit me!"
"Shut up, the hottie is coming back." Jaime nudged Tsukune, who blushed as Moka walked up to the three boys. She had a look of disappointment on her face, and all three guys could help but feel sorry for her.
"So…" Moka softly said, "What…do you guys think about vampires?"
Jaime bit down on his tongue to stop from laughing at the insanely awkward and random question. Virgil also tilted his head in confusion, and Tsukune also seemed very confused.
"Well?" The girl asked.
"You mean like Batman?" Jaime quickly spit out in laughter, and Virgil elbowed him a bit harder than he should have, but Jaime did stop.
Tsukune then quickly said, "You know what, I don't have a problem with vampires. They're fine by me. It's 2019, so if you want to call yourself a vampire more power to you. I literally can't-"
Tsukune was then embraced by the girl, before he could even finish his remark. The girl squeezed him tightly and laughed, "Oh, that is so good to hear! I thought I was going to come here and not find anyone who liked vampires! Thank you so much."
The girl glanced at the two other boys, and she smiled, "So, do you guys like vampires too?"
"As long as all of them are as sweet as you." Virgil said, trying to sound sly and cool. Apparently, it worked, because Moka became flustered when Virgil said this. Virgil couldn't help but smile in confidence when he saw this.
The girl then looked at Jaime.
Jaime then laughed, "Of course. I love vampires. I'm a great friend of Batman, actually."
"You're funny." The girl said, "I'm Akashiya Moka."
"I'm Aono Tsukune!" Tsukune blushingly said, as Moka finally released her grip on him.
"I'm Virgil Hawkins…or Hawkins Virgil I guess." Virgil awkwardly laughed, trying to remember how the Japanese introduced themselves.
"I'm Jaime Reyes." Jaime said, ignoring the formality, but Moka caught on.
"Jaime and Virgil?" Moka said, "Those are interesting names. It's so nice to meet you all. So…what a creepy graveyard right?"
The four teenagers looked around at the graveyard and all agreed to leave for the school together. Everyone tried to get over the weird experience they had just had with this new beauty named Moka, but little did they know as they approached the entrance to the Gothic Yokai Academy, it was about to get weirder.
It was very surprising that the four teenagers did not separate after meeting. They all attended a very lively welcome pep rally in the school's massive gym. Only the 1st Year students were invented, and some of the staff members and member of the school's so called, "Security Task Force" welcomed the students and advised them to follow the rules listened in the pamphlet.
Virgil has to admit he was amazed by all the beautiful girls who were now his classmates. There was one member of the Security Task Force that looked around Virgil's age who had long beautiful purple hair that shone like silk while she spoke.
"My name is Keito Bijin, the First-Year representative from the Security Task Force." Keito said, as she gave the audience a sardonic smile. For some reason, Virgil's danger meter was going off the charts with this girl, but Virgil could not help to admit that she definitely was beautiful.
After the rally, everyone went to their assigned homeroom classes. Virgil was seated in the back of class, the third seat from the window. Directly in the middle of that row. To his left was another beautiful girl that Virgil never thought he would meet. The blue haired beauty could definitely have passed as a super model. She had a lovely curvy body that Virgil could have stared at for nearly an hour. Her breasts were incredibly large, and the funniest thing was, Virgil had a feeling they were completely natural. She caught Virgil staring at her, and she gave him a quick smile, as she extended her hand to him, "Hey, I'm Kurono Kurumu."
Virgil accepted her handshake and nodded, "I'm Hawkins Virgil. You know it's kinda weird to use formal Japanese greetings for a bunch of people who speak mainly English?"
"Yeah." Jaime said, as he took the seat in front of Virgil, and winked at Kurumu. "Hey, I'm Jaime Reyes."
"I'm Kurumu, nice to meet you Jaime." Kurumu said, but her kind smile shifted to a look of confusion as Moka walked into the class with Tsukune at her heels. Almost every guy in the class gawked at Moka in awe, and Moka could feel all of their stares on her.
Virgil noticed all the guys staring at Moka in awe, and he thought to himself, 'Moka seems to be able to get almost every guy to double take her without warning. What is that about?'
Virgil caught Kurumu shooting a very dirty look at Moka, as the pink haired vampire took a seat at the window seat in the same row as the two. Tsukune took the seat in front of Moka and he tried to relax the best he could.
"She hasn't left his side since the bike incident." Jaime rumbled to Virgil. Virgil shook his head at Jaime's jealousy. Jaime say this and then he continued, "Listen dude, I'm not jealous."
'Sure.'
"But I mean come on. Do I not have swag? Am I not cool?" Jaime questioned Virgil who shrugged at him. Jaime looked at Kurumu and nodded, "You think I have swag right Kurumu."
Kurumu let out a cute giggle, "Well, I did just meet you, so my opinion might be misinformed. But you seem to have a lot of energy. And a silver tongue."
Jaime heard this and winked at Kurumu, "Thanks beautiful." Virgil cringed at the comment when the teacher walked into the class. The teacher was an older woman with short hair and glasses, and she was wearing very loud and colorful tight clothing. However, that was not what caught Virgil's attention. She had cat ears…and a cat tail.
Virgil immediately looked over to Tsukune, who seemed to be rubbing his eyes in confusion. Virgil then glanced forward at Jaime, who was no longer leaning back in his chair comfortably. He was sitting straight up, as if something had shocked him too.
Virgil glanced at Kurumu, but the blue-haired beauty was shooting a hateful glare at Moka, while Moka just straight at the teacher as if nothing were wrong.
"Hello class! I'm so excited to be teaching you this school year. I'm your homeroom teacher Shizuka Nekonome." Mr. Nekonome said to the class. She gave a sweet smile to here class as she said, "So class, just to break the ice, I have to remind you all that this school is meant for monsters to better adjust to life in the human world. We are here to promote and encourage coexistence between us and the humans. So, for the sake of that experience, we are asking you all to remain in human unless you are given permission to change into your monster forms."
"What the f***?" Jaime whispered under his breath, as he glanced back at Virgil. Jaime could see that Virgil looked confused himself. Was this all a joke.
The beefy student sitting between Jaime and Tsukune rose his hand and nodded, "Hey teach! When are we gonna get permission to go into our monster forms? This human form is absolutely disgusting!"
Some of the students began giggling under breath at the new guys confidence in himself. Before Ms. Nekonome could respond, the guy decided to assert himself even further by saying, "You know what? Why don't we just kill all the humans anyway? We could finish them all off."
"What about the Justice League? Can you beat Superman, beef cake?" A pale skinny kid with glasses said from the front of the class.
The guy then leaned forward, looking dead at the skinny nerd, "I bet I could tear him a new one as fast as I can tear you one."
Ms. Nekonome then interjected, "Well, you won't have to worry about running into a human here at Yokai Academy. We have a special barrier that is meant to keep all humans out of the school. And if a human were caught here, they would be torn limb from limb before they could even leave the premise."
'What?' Virgil thought to himself. How had he made it through some kind of special barrier that was meant to keep out humans. Then it hit him, he wasn't exactly human after the Big Bang in Dakota City. His DNA had changed by such a degree that it might have tricked the school. That made sense why Batman could not have come in here to this place. Or why he couldn't just send Robin. But how did Jaime get into the school? Or Tsukune?
Virgil glanced at Jaime again, who really seemed like he was confused. He was keeping his cool, but Virgil saw how he first looked. That was confusion just like his. Then there was Tsukune. Tsukune was basically shaking in his chair, trying to hide his face. There was something about Jaime that was similar to Virgil. Maybe he was a Bang Baby too. But what a coincidence that would be…
"No way." Virgil said to himself, but it was enough to get Kurumu to glance over at him. Virgil leaned forward and whispered to Jaime. "Do you know Bruce Wayne?"
Jaime looked back at Virgil, and then he quickly shot at him, "Hey, can't you see me trying to listen to my monster teacher tell me about monsters killing humans at this school, guy?"
Virgil then whispered a bit louder, with a little more aggression, "Hey, do you know Bruce Wayne?" Virgil leaned in closer and this time he growled, "Cause you said you know Batman."
Jaime looked back at Virgil, and the two stared at each other for a while. For a few seconds, the two remained silent for a couple of seconds just staring at each other.
Virgil suddenly stood, while Ms. Nekonome was explaining the ice breaker activity that the class would do to get to know each other. Virgil blurted out, "I need to go to the bathroom, ma'am."
Ms. Nekonome was caught off by Virgil's sudden outburst, but before she could respond, Jaime immediately stood and chuckled, "Yeah! Me too."
"You American transfer students are kinda weird." The brawny kid admitted with a raised eyebrow. He looked both Virgil and Jaime up and down and measured them up.
Tsukune immediately stood up and also made an outburst, "Yeah, me three!"
Ms. Nekonome looked at the three boys in shock. "What?"
Both Jaime and Virgil looked at Tsukune and both asked, "What?"
Virgil then waved Tsukune off and looked at Ms. Nekonome, "Yeah, no. Tsukune is all good. But I need to pee. And so does Jaime." Virgil and Jaime then immediately walked out of class before Ms. Nekonome could say anything. Her eyes widened for a second as she lost two of students in the first five minutes of the first day of class.
Ms. Nekonome looked at her class and then nervously laughed, "Umm…yes. Please do not do…what your two classmates just did."
"What the hell is going on here?" Virgil said to Jaime, "A school of monsters? Are you kidding me?"
"You know Batman?" Jaime said to Virgil, as they walked down the strangely designed hallways of Yokai Academy. "When did he recruit you? Who are you? I mean, what's your…you know?"
"My what?" Virgil asked and narrowed his eyes at Jaime.
Jaime nudged Virgil and grumbled, "Your silly codename? What did Batman give you?"
"Batman didn't give me a codename. I came up with my own, I'm Static. And who are you supposed to be? The Crimson Asshole?"
"Funny." Jaime leaned into Virgil and nodded with confidence, "Batman gave me a cool codename. I'm Blue Beetle. He sent me here to find out what this school actually was. I was supposed to contact him through an advanced drone that he is sending at the end of the school day."
"A single day?" Virgil narrowed his eyes at Jaime.
"Yeah, after that I will follow the drone to safety off the premises. What about you?" Jaime asked a bit confused.
"I'm suppose to stay here for three months, then report back to him. I guess he trusts me to give a more detailed report on this place." Virgil said with a smirk on his face. Jaime saw this and he growled in anger.
Before Jaime could say anything to Virgil, the two heard a familiar female voice call out to them. "What are you two doing?"
Both Jaime and Virgil whipped their heads over to see Keito standing a few yards from them in a new black uniform that definitely did not come with their packages. Keito's sardonic smile was gone, and she looked very serious and a bit peeved even.
She walked up to the two and said, "Do not make me ask again. Why are you two not in class?"
Virgil tried to think of a quick answer, when Jaime shook his head at Keito and laughed, "You're the beauty from Welcome Rally right? What did you say your name was again, beautiful?"
"Name." Keito sharply said to Jaime.
"Excuse me?" Jaime cleared his throat and asked.
Keito tilted her head to Jaime, and Virgil had a feeling the boys were about to get a feeling of what Ms. Nekonome meant by a school of monsters.
Virgil quickly blurted out, "Jaime Reyes. Virgil Hawkins. Keito Bijin, right?" Keito fitted her purple eyes on Virgil and studied him for a single second, sizing him up. It was the same thing the brawny kid in their class had done.
"Virgil Hawkins, who is your homeroom teacher?" Keito asked Virgil.
"Nekonome." Jaime said, and Keito glanced at Jaime as if he were less than a bug.
"Nekonome…that is not a surprise. Of course, she would let her students roam freely on the first day of school." Keito stared at both male students and nodded, "What are you doing out of class? Last time I ask before I show you my less pleasant side."
Jaime opened his mouth to speak, and Keito quickly shoved her slender pointer finger on his lips. Jaime's first thought was how soft Keito's skin felt. His second thought was noting how fast she moved.
"Virgil. Speak. Now." Keito's eyes darted to Virgil, who forced a smile and nodded.
"We were just going to the bathroom?" Virgil said.
"At the same time?"
"Uh yeah."
Keito moved her finger from Jaime's lips and then gave the two young men a very serious look that gave them both shivers. After a couple of seconds of silence Keito nodded, "Do you know where the restrooms are?"
The two young men shook their heads, and Keito gave them a blank stare, "At the end of the hallway on the right. Do not miss it."
"Thanks." Jaime said, and Virgil gave Keito a nod.
As the two students began to walk past Keito, the purple haired first year put out her hands, placing them firmly on the chests of both students. Both Virgil and Jaime stopped in respect of her, but they could also feel the immense force that she had in her arms. Jaime and Virgil glanced at one another quickly but were not quick enough to see Keito lean in on Jaime. Keito took a long sniff of Jaime, which caused him to cringe. Keito then turned and sniffed Virgil as well. After she was done, she sniffed the air and removed her hands from both Virgil and Jaime's chest.
"Um…okay." Virgil awkwardly said.
"You two do understand that I represent the entirety of our class, do you not?" Keito said, now staring forward, not looking at either of them. Both Virgil and Jaime glanced at the girl, who intensely stared at whatever was in front of her. "When someone in our class screws up, I will be the one held responsible if I do not enforce the rules of the school. Do not let me catch you out here without a pass and without permission again, understood."
Keito turned to Virgil and gave him a sardonic smile that seemed very fitting for her. "I would hate to have to enforce on the two American exchange students on their first day. Go to the bathroom and get back to class. One of the Security members will check the bathroom in five minutes. You better not be in there."
And with that, Keito started her way down the hallway, not giving the two boys a single look again. As she turned the corner, Virgil and Jaime began breathing once again.
"Well…on the bright side…I don't need to use the bathroom anymore." Jaime nervously said, as he grabbed his chest trying to slow down his heartbeat.
Virgil however remained silent, thinking to himself, 'What the hell have you gotten me into, Batman?'
So that's chapter one! I don't really have much to say, but I really hope you all enjoyed. I'm learning the ropes of writing fanfiction, so I'm always open to advice on how to make my writing better.
