Tsukune Aono is a normal high school teenager that just so happened to be a student at Yokai Academy, a high school where monsters kept a human form to try and fit in within the human world when they graduate. Tsukune has been through many events in his year at Yokai, going through many enemies, making friends with a vampire, a succubus, an ice woman, and a witch.
However, what people didn't know about Tsukune is that he is different than what people expect from him. After all, his friends just assumed he was human, they never truly asked and he didn't bother to correct them.
The young man could be found sitting on in his desk, paying attention to the lesson on the blackboard. Then the temperature felt 20 degrees colder, making people look at Mizore, but she was confused behind her apathetic mask, which told people she was not responsible.
The door was opened and a busty woman in a white-collared shirt, a black skirt, and thigh-high boots as they clicked across the floor walked into the room as everyone stared in awe and fear.
"Esdeath?"
"The Esdeath? The Ice Dragonborn?"
"Is there any other?"
"She's so beautiful."
"She's too cold..."
Esdeath ignored everyone and found what she was looking for and placed her hands on his desk and said, "Hello, dear cousin."
"Hello, Es."
"Cousin?"
"Es?!"
"Still cheeky as always?"
"Just a bit, did you just come back from fighting someone? The scent of blood follows after you like a shadow."
"Aw, you noticed, I didn't think you'd notice being so far away from me."
"Ha, ha. Funny. Not that I mind your bloodthirsty company, but why are you here?"
"I'm here to take you home."
Kurmuru, Yukari, and Moka all gasped as everyone stared at the pair of cousins.
"Any reason, why?"
"Because, you haven't awakened yet, stupid."
"Isn't that because of that damn seal?"
"Now, now, no need to be stingy. Besides, it was either that or Gramp's training on self-restraint. Even though the sick bastard deserved it." Tsukune tch'd and then bit back a shudder.
"That old coot is still kicking?"
"Yep."
"A man over 70 should not be chucking cannonballs like he's 30."
"Oh come on, it's fun."
"Was that after or before the massive one that was the size of a ship?"
"Touche. Regardless, I'm here to find out what's stopping you from shifting."
"Fine. However, I still don't see the point." She placed her hand in front of his face, a magic circle of Aono family magic slowly moved about on her fingertips, but then the room went from cold to freezing in an instant.
"Vampire..." She snarled, causing spikes to form into the classroom, nearly fatally stabbing several students, Moka included as she barely got out of the way when her desk was destroyed.
"Esdeath... you'd better heat up soon. Any more you will turn every here into an icicle."
She snarled, her blue eyes forming slits as steam fell from her mouth as she tried to get her emotions under control.
"We are leaving right now. You can return here when you finish awakening, but I want that bloodsuckers' head on a pole."
"Unfortunately..."
"What?"
"I can't leave."
"Let me guess, a weakling has attached itself to you and they need you as a shield, correct?"
"Almost like that..."
"Well, they will have to deal with the hand they are given. I am not leaving you here in your state."
"What's wrong with my current state?"
"Tsukune... If you continue to be like this, there are only two things that can happen. Either you become a dud in which you wipe out most of this school when your powers fight their way out of your body, killing you in the process, or you go mad and then we can add another person to the list of crazies, does Aunt Belle ring a reminder?"
"Right~... Let's go. However, I want to say goodbye to my friends first before we leave."
"Whatever. Just as long as we leave."
Tsukune followed after her, closing the door behind him, leaving the class in shock.
Moka was having a rapid conversation with Inner.
'What should I do?'
'Tell him not to leave. After all, he loves us remember?'
'Yes, but-'
'Nothing! If he goes you may never see him again. You know the stories of the Dragonborn.'
Outer inwardly whimpered. She did know, she knew exactly how the Dragonborn species operated, and all of them, each and every single one of them, hated vampires with a passion.
Outer didn't know why, considering that Inner told Outer that it was a war from a long time ago considering both are prideful creatures, one slighted the other and the war grew from there until the Dragonborn race left the monster world to live peacefully in the human world.
Inner despised Tsukune, but loved his doting on her and his blood, his blood was sweet and a certain spicy tang that ran shivers down her spine, however, she couldn't drain him for two reasons, one for Outer Moka, and two for the war not to start up again. She knew Tsukune was a Dragonborn after the first day she met him, he had a seal placed on his arms, ankles, and waist, and it could only be seen in a certain light.
She needed Tsukune to stay in his sealed state, complacent towards her alone. Her own to do what she pleased. He could not stay away from her, after all, she found him first.
'Tsukune, you will not be going anywhere. You are mine and it is about time I reinforce that.'
Tsukune, on the other hand, was now at his dorm and Gin, leaning against the door tried to hit on Esdeath.
"Hey babe, why don't you come with me and I'll show you a good time."
Esdeath let his words sink in before giving him her reply, a hard kick to the face, put his head through the wall.
She huffed, brushing off her clothes and said, "I don't date horny mutts. Keep your tiny cock down and your drooling tongue behind your teeth or I will remove them."
Tsukune walked to his room, holding back a snicker at the state of his sempai. He still had a bit of resentment towards him for the pervert scandal and framing him for it, so it felt very nice to see someone put him in his place, besides Inner Moka.
He went to his room and packed his clothes, cleaning the room, for when he returned.
"You already went through with the Headmaster?"
"Yep, he was very accepting."
"Esdeath..."
"I didn't fight him, though I wish I could, but he promised me a fight if you returned to your classes in your monster form after one month."
"So just one month, huh?"
"Yep. Just one."
"That's good."
"Finished?"
"Yeah, let's go. The sooner, I get my powers back the better. I hate being at human strength."
"I know, you reek of normalcy."
"Ha. Ha." He replied back, grabbing his moving bag and headed out the door and locked it, giving the keys to dorm manager and left, as people whispered about his connection to the cold sadist.
Tsukune and Esdeath then saw Moka, Yukari, Mizore, and Kurumu waiting at the cliff. They rushed towards him, pleading with him not to go with her.
"Tsukune, you can't go!"
"I'm sorry Yukari, but I can't. I'd rather not blow up and kill most of the people on campus."
"But, but- Can't you train him here?" Kurumu asked Esdeath
"Don't be silly, succubus, you know how monster transformations go and he can't do that here unless you wish to be burned alive along with most of the Yokai campus in cinders."
"Esdeath..."
She shrugged her shoulders, she was not going to sugarcoat the truth.
Mizore just gave him a hug and said, "Return safely."
"Don't worry, Mizore, I will. I'll be back before you know it."
Finally, Moka pulled Tsukune away from Mizore and wrapped up in a tight hug, she puckered her lips for another one of her bites, but she yelped when a fist in her hair ripped her away from Tsukune nearly scalping her in the process.
"Es..."
"You've been letting her suck on you?" She asked, disgusted at the thought of the leech in her hand.
"I tell her not too, it's just that she gets anemic without it." Tsukune shrugged
"Then tell her she needs either blood pills or a blood bag on her at all times, you are not a walking blood packet for her to feed on at any time of the day!" Esdeath snapped.
Moka was dropped to the floor, tears in her eyes as she rubbed where Esdeath pulled her hair, "Tsukune, how could you allow her to do this to me? You don't really want to leave do you?"
"Moka, please. I don't-"
"But, why?! You could just stay here with me! With us, your friends!"
"Moka-san, I can't if I don't awaken, I could lose you and everyone else in a blazing inferno and I can't live with that."
"We could go to the headmaster, he could stop that from happening!"
"I will just be away for a month, I will return soon enough," Tsukune said, trying to calm her down
"No, Tsukune, you can't leave me!" Moka said, tears falling down her face
"Moka I-" "No!" *Chink!*
A swarm of bats soon surrounded Moka, turning her pink hair into silver, her nails lengthen to a point, her green eyes that were now blood red with slits.
The bats disappeared, leaving Inner out as Tsukune had her rosary in his hand. She stared at no more like glared at him with her ruby eyes.
"Moka-san-" *Slap!*
Inner slapped Tsukune so hard that he fell down on his butt in surprise as he looked up at her glaring face.
"How dare you, Tsukune. What made you think you have the choice to leave?"
"What do you mean choice? I have to go or else I could die or go insane!"
"I don't care!" She snapped
"What?"
"You are mine, you should know better."
"Moka-san, aren't you my friend?"
Inner snarled, "Of course not. Your blood is the only thing good about you, that and you following me like a lost puppy. You will learn your place, which is below me, in my shadow like always. So you will stay here at my side. That's an order." Inner toned
Tsukune looked up at the cold, sneering face of the nice girl he knew when he first laid eyes on. He felt his heart break in his chest as Esdeath gritted her teeth as she felt the emotional turmoil, her cousin was going through. Esdeath was ten seconds away from ripping out the bloodsucker's heart and then eating it. She would make recreations for the family later.
"You pathetic little leech." She snarled, her pupils turned to slits as bared her teeth wanting nothing more than to turn her smug face into goo.
Kurumu lengthened her nails as her eyes glowed, Succubus, beings of love and lust, knew fully well the feeling of heartbreak and Tsukune reeked of it. Her destined one, heartbroken and dead-eyed.
Yukari looked disgusted at the vampire she used to respect and brandished her wand, glowing a heavy blue.
Mizore crushed the sweet lollipop between her teeth as ice claws formed on her hands, wanting nothing more than to slash the vampire in front of her to ribbons, the one who broke the heart of the person who could actually relate to her.
"Esdeath, I know what you are planning, but cut that line of thought." He said, blandly
"Tsukune?"
Inner smirked and said, "You see, he understand his-" "Shut up." Tsukune interrupted
"Excuse me?" She quipped
"You heard me." He said, glaring at her, his rose-tinted sight of the girl in front of him faded completely, showing the rot and thorns underneath the flower.
He stood up and shook his head. "I won't take it anymore, if you think that lowly of me, then we have nothing to talk about. You made it pretty clear what you think of me, so I will not bother you again."
"Hmph, maybe, but you are still mine to feed on," she said, baring her fangs in order to bite him, but Esdeath had enough of standing on the sidelines and slapped her away from Tsukune, leaving her on the ground with a chipped fang.
"You so much as even look at my cousin the wrong way, I'll tear those ruby eyes of yours, vampire. He's not your food and when he comes back and chooses to leave this place, I hope he rips out every drop of blood you've taken from him." She snarled
Inner only glared at the Ice Dragonborn in reply
Tsukune placed a hand on her shoulder and said, "Enough cousin, let's go. She's not worth it...I'm not sure she ever was..." He said, moving her away from Moka.
"Bye, Yukari, Kurumu, Mizore. I'll write you soon." He said, tiredly
"Tsukune..." They looked at him sadly
He smiled at them before boarding the bus and they watched as the bus traveled into the tunnel before fading out of sight.
When the bus faded out of sight, the three girls brought their attention to the sneering silver-haired girl brushing the dust off her uniform.
"What do you have to say for yourself, Moka?" The group of girls was deadly serious and they weren't going to take no for an answer
Ending it! I had to edit this because the last one didn't have my shoutout to Nomadic Chaos who helped me make this chapter! Why it uploaded my past one without my edits, I will never know. However, the next chapter will be uploaded soon enough. After all, I will go into Tsukune's month of training, the bus ride and the limo ride to Tsukune's house, the girls confront Moka. The two letters between both sides and Tsukune will find out what it means to be a true Dragonborn and find out the hate between vampires and Dragonborns. Will he join in on the vampire hate parade or will he choose his own path? Later!
