Yo! WordSmyth here. I'm writing this as a sort of prologue to a chapter in my other story, To Raze and Raise. You might want to read that first to get the background or you can just read the 4th chapter, The Interrogation That Never Happened to get the gist of it.
Just a warning. It might take me a while to update. My sister always manages to scam me out of my time on the computer.
"I can't believe I'm going to a private school now." says Tsukune as he walked down to the local bus stop. After a few minutes of twiddling his thumbs and swinging his feet the bus arrives. He stands up and gets onto the bus.
"Is this the bus to Yokai Academy?" he asked,
"Sure is kid. Now sit down and look happy. I've got the big man coming on next and I walk to look good for him."
"Okay then. Thanks for the ride." He responds, receiving only a soft grunt in response
I go back to the middle of the seats and sit down and lay my head back.
"I taste butterflies!" mumbles Tsukune as he is jolted awake by the sudden stop as the bus picks up another person. He quickly sits up and wipes off the drool on his chin, remembering what the driver said. The doors open and a tall boy with black hair and a scar going from behind his ear along his jaw line and terminating on his chin. He stands next to the driver as the doors close. The bus accelerates, slamming Tsukune into his seat but the boy is left unaffected.
"So John, how is it going here?"
"Just fine sir, I really want so say thanks again for allowing me the chance to do this again."
"Its fine John. I'm just glad you decided to ask first."
"Well, sir. I would suggest you take your seat now, it's going to be a little while."
"Sure thing John."
The boy turns towards me to walk down the aisle and I see his eyes. Blue as the sky but with a certain hidden depth and limitless knowledge. He passes and goes to lie down on the bench seat in the back.
"Goodbye John, say hi to the missus."
"Will do sir."
"Just call me Danny"
"Will do, Danny"
I walk away from the bus as it pulls back into the portal leading away from the school grounds that he has been forced to inhabit for the next four years, all because Vlad and Clockwork worked together.
"Daniel, you're going to school." Says Vlad as he walks into the lab, which was in use by Danny.
"WHAT!?"
"You're. Going. To. School."
"Okay. WHY!?"
"Because-"
"Because it is what's best for you right now, Daniel. It is the most preferable turn for you to take." States clockwork as the ghost open a portal into the lab behind Vlad.
"You're spending all of your time down here. Working on who knows what."
"Its an upgrade for BUTLER if you must ask."
"Okay. But, you've gotten more and more introverted and emotionless. I haven't seen you smile in a month. And you've been all but ignoring Daine as well."
"My apologies if it would appear that way, but I'm just simply busy."
"You're still gong to school!" The Ghost and Half Ghost say in sync with one another.
I sigh and continue down the path and watch a bike shoot past and collide with the other kid on the bus with Driver John. Just as he passes them he sees the girl take a bite out of the kids neck.
'Ouch, that's gonna hurt in the morning.'
He continues down the walkway and watches as the academy appears on the horizon.
Danny finally arrived at the school and quickly finds his way to the headmasters room. He opens the door to see a dark room, even with his advanced senses, after a second he can make out a collection of skulls and decorative candles.
"Come in, Daniel. I have been waiting for you."
"Hello Tenmei, I see that your school is doing well. Although you might have slipped up. You let a human get past."
"I know about him. I am hoping he might be an ambassador of sorts to aid in the reintroduction program."
"Well you might want to try again, I saw him being taken down by a pinkette vampire on the way here. From the look on his face he's going to run all the way home."
"I suppose so. Its too bad. I'll just try again next year. Now, about your schedule. The Timekeeper informed me of your, ahem, occupation."
"Yes, I was hoping I could have a free hour incase I am needed?"
"Normally I wouldn't be doing this, but, seeing as you are royalty I suppose I wall allow it."
"Thank you sir. If there is nothing else I will be taking my leave. But, before I go. How is John working out? Nothing bad to report?"
"Nothing bad in the least. He is doing perfectly."
"Well, driving is his obsession." Says Danny as he leaves the dark room.
"Hello class. My name is Shizuka Nekonome and I am your homeroom teacher. As you all know this school was founded to assist monster like yourselves to coexist secretly and safely with the humans."
"I don't see why we can't just eat all of those puny humans. Except for the pretty girls. I have a better use for them." interrupts a student near Danny as he licks his lips with a long forked tongue.
"As I was saying, there is a barrier placed over the entire school grounds to keep any humans from getting in."
"What if one somehow managed to get in?" asked a decidedly average student in the center of the class.
"well they would be killed. Any other questions?"
After a moment of silence she looks down to the sheet with the names of all the students when she suddenly remembers something.
"Oh! I just remembered. We have a new student in class with us this year. He comes all the way from America. His name is Daniel Fenton. Daniel, could you please come up and introduce yourself?"
Danny gets up and walks towards the front of the classroom and turns to face all of them.
"Greetings, my name is Danny Fenton." Danny monotones to the class.
"Anything else Danny?"
"Nothing of importance Miss Nekonome."
"Well alright. Oh! One more thing. Apparently there is someone of royalty in the freshman class. Unfortunately the headmaster is being a bit stingy with the details. All I have heard is that he is king to a very large, yet relatively unknown, country."
The entire class except for Danny begins whispering back and forth about who the royal freshman might be. After a moment Danny senses someone coming down the hallway. Suddenly the door slams open to reveal the girl who had attempted to make a meal out of the human boy earlier in the day. She apologizes for being late when her eyes suddenly rest on the very same boy from earlier.
"TSUKUNE! I'm so flat were in class together!" she shouts a she rushes over and catches him in a big hug, instantly making all of the boys and a few of the girls jealous.
After a short conversation between the two the class returns to relative normality.
'Its been a while since I last had Fuji Plum Juice.' I think to myself as I grab the drink from the machine. I walk over to a column and open the can and take a drink when Tsukune and Moka walk by on their way to the machine as well. They get their drinks then go over to sit together on a bench and talk. After a while I notice the kid who mentioned eating humans in class walk over to them.
"Hey there sexy. I hear your name is Moka Akashiya." Says Saizou Komiya, who has Tsukune by his throat as he finishes speaking
"So Tell me what a hot chick like you is doing with an idiot like him. I mean, come on." He says, throwing Tsukune into the vending machine.
"Tsukune!" Shouts Moka as she runs towards him but is stopped by Saizou's hand on her shoulder.
"Why don't you come and hang out with me babe?"
"No way, jerk!" She runs over to check on Tsukune.
A can rolls towards his feet and his tongue rolls down and pulls it toward his mouth where it is crushed in his mouth. Moka walks Tsukune over to the stairs to the roof and I walk over to the boy.
"I would suggest you be careful with those two."
"What was that, new meat?"
"I said 'I would suggest you be careful with those two' you imbecile."
"What was that?"
"nothing, nothing. Ogre."
He stiffens and slowly looks at me, or where I used to be, seeing as I had teleported to the roof with Moka and Tsukune and get there just in time to see Tsukune shouting at her down on the main grounds and then running off with Moka trailing behind after a moment or so.
'Well, I might as well follow. Sounds like he's leaving and I could call Driver John for him.'
I follow Moka for a while until Saizou appears from behind a tree.
"Where are you going babe?" He asks her.
"Sorry, but I'm busy right now."
Saizou chuckles a bit before he responds.
"How about you get busy with my true form!" he says in a guttural tone as he take on the form of his ogre self. He Laughs as Moka Backs away from his now utterly disgusting body, which consisted of a carapace with visible muscles underneath. He unfurls his tongue and lashes out at Moka, catching her by her calf and throwing her around for a few minutes.
"Let her go!" I shout from behind him. He releases her and turns to look at me with his tongue lolling out like and overheated dog.
"What was that kid?" He growls at me.
"Not now boy. I'll be getting to you in a moment." I say as I walk past him to help Moka up. I grasp her elbow and gently lift her up, but when she was halfway there Saizou's tongue lashed out and knocked her down again. I attempt to catch her but only succeed in breaking the cross off of her chocker. Suddenly there is a bright light and the color drains from her hair as her bust and rear swell slightly. I sense an immense aura of demonic power. I look over to see that Saizou has sensed it as well. She growls and starts advancing on him but I put my arm out at the last second to stop her. I return the rosary to her.
"Here. My apologies. I hope this can be fixed. Now, would you allow me the honor of beating this brute for you."
"Do you think your better than me?" She growled out.
"Now at all ma'am. I was watching from over there," I gesture off to the forest. "And I cant stand it when a boy thinks he is superior to a woman. As an equalist, sexism is intensely irritating and he just added to an already bad day."
After a moment of pondering she comes up with my answer.
"Fine. Go ahead."
"Thank you milady." I bow at the waist then turn on my heels to face the Ogre, a malevolent grin plastered on my face. He swallows his fear and lets loose a wordless cry of challenge as he charges at me. Once he is close enough I let a quick jab fly from my right arm, knocking the breath out of him. He recovers quickly and charges again. I sigh and teleport into the boughs of a tree above Moka, I drop down next to her, startling her.
"Its sad really, I thought he would be a bit stronger."
"As did I. Saizou really let the both of us down." She responds with a smirk.
"Well. I might as well get this over with." I take a few steps foreword and stretch my arms above my head and call out to Saizou.
"Seeing as everyone else has already revealed themselves, I might as well reveal myself as well." And with that a ring of white flame appears at my waistline, drawing gasps from the two monsters present. The ring separates and travels up and down my body, revealing a pair of combat boots dark enough to put the night to shame with silver laces and soles. A pair of cargo pants as dark as my boots with silver stitching and pockets. Next is a torso wrapped tightly in glowing green silver bandages with a black pair of crossed bandoleers over my chest with the same color scheme as my pants. Every black surface on my cloths have the writhing faces of the eternally dammned. I also have a vambrace with a shield design and a sword shaped ring on my right hand. I focus my energy into the ring and it forms itself into a demonic sword with a red blade and silver body. I slowly walk towards him, swinging the blade like a pendulum.
"This is the Kings Allblade. And it might very well be the last thing you see."
I shunpo around him, slashing the Allblade across his body, I stop a minute later and he laughs at me. Just before he falls to the ground bleeding from hundreds of paper-cut-like wounds. I withdraw the power from the Kings Allblade, causing it to revert to its ring form. I walk over to Moka and bow.
"Thank you for the honor of fighting this admittedly weak brute. It was quite enjoyable."
"Erm. Your welcome, I didn't catch your name."
"Its Danny. Danny Fenton. Or, in this form, Hades."
"You're a good fighter Hades. I barely even saw half of those strikes."
"Meh. I was going easy on the idiot."
"If that was you going easy I'd hate to see when you're angered." She says with a smirk as she puts the rosary back on her chocker. She reverts to her pink haired form and promptly falls unconscious. I sigh and pick her up. As I am walking away I look back and see Saizou lying on the ground. I put Moka down and walk over to the idiot and toss him through the forest onto the main path. I pick her up again and continue down the path when I notice Tsukune walking dejectedly down the path. I get an idea and teleport a couple dozen meters ahead beyond the curve and lay her down on the path with a note.
'I cant believe the bus only comes once a month. I'm not even going to last a week.'
I think to my self as I walk around a curve in the path. I stop when I see Moka lying on the path with a note on her chest. I sit down next to her and pick up the note.
Hey Tsukune, look who I found. I would suggest you take Moka here down to the nurse's office. It will get you back in her good graces as well as benefiting me as well. Good luck boy.
Weird. I might as well do as it says. I pick up Moka and start carrying her to the school. Halfway there she wakes up in my arms.
"Where . . . Where am I?"
"Were halfway to the school. I found you unconscious on the path. What happened?"
"I . . . I can't remember."
"Well, we should still get you to the nurse anyway."
"I'm fine Tsukune. But . . . "
"Yes Moka?"
"Could you put me down please?"
"Oh, yes! Sorry!" I say as I quickly but gently set her on her feet.
"Oh Tsukune, you're bleeding!"
"What? Oh, yeah. I was scratched by a branch on my way back here."
"Tsukune."
"Yes?"
"I can't resist the smell of your blood"
"WHAT?"
*nom*
"Well then. It would seem that school might be enjoyable after all. There's the beautiful girls, the comic relief boy, subterfuge, and attempt at human and nonhuman integration, and monsters. What more could you ask for?" I say to myself as I invisibly watch Moka and Tsukune walk back to the dorms while holding hands.
Well. There you go. The first Chapter is done.
Yeah . . . it sucks, right? Yeah. It should get better once I get all the introductions finished. I'll probably combine Kurumu and Yukari if I can. But I might not. Who knows? I certainly don't.
