Forbidden Rosario Ch. 2

Yokai- A Terrifying School
Yokai Academy stood high and commanding above the plateau it took domain on as each of its towers overlooked the campus. But if a traveler were to pass through the school, the wanderer would notice no difference from any other private school, aside from Yokai’s ancient and terrifying structure, since all of the students who attend there and all of the staff who works there appear to be normal…or at least at first glance, they seem normal. But if said traveler were to stay for a while, he/she would notice some strange happenings at Yokai Academy, and if he/she was foolish to stay any longer, this traveler, this human traveler, last memories would be at the academy, never to be able to travel again.
For the new student, Anzu Mazaki , she has fallen for Yokai’s alluring façade, a mistake she will truly regret…but a mistake that might also be a blessing and a curse.
“A vampire….he said he was a vampire…no, that’s not just possible…but he had fangs…” Anzu strutted down one of Yokai’s elegant hallways towards her first class, running her fingers through her hair, trying to make sense of her bewildering morning. First she was told she was heading to a “terrifying school,” then some boy asked if she could drink her blood. “Then again, he could have just gotten dental work..I mean it doesn’t take much to make it look like you have fangs, right?” Anzu sighed, leaning against a wall, “I’m over thinking this, obviously he was just joking, he had to be joking…because vampires and monsters aren’t real…right?” The only reply she received was the silence of the hallway. “I overreacted…I shouldn’t have ditched Yugi back in the fog…I hope he makes it to the school alright.” Anzu headed towards her classroom, starting to feel guilty. “I really hope he’s okay, it was really stupid of me to act that way…” She pushed open the classroom door, the sounds of miscellaneous conversations greeting her.
“So are you Ms. Mazaki?” A woman stood up, from what appeared to be the teacher’s desk. She had messy dirty blonde hair that made it look like she had to cat ears on top of her head.
Anzu smiled nervously, it never was a good sign if the teacher knew your name before you’ve even met him/her, “Yes that would be me.”
“Ah you’re late~” The teacher spoke softly in a sing-song tone. Anzu stared at her; did she just see the teacher’s hair twitch as if they were really cat ears? Anzu shook her head, she was just imagining things.
“I’m sorry, I lost track of the time…”
“It’s okay, just don’t do it again, alright?” The teacher smiled. Anzu blinked, she swore her teacher’s hair just twitched again.  “You can take a seat over there.” Anzu was too busy looking at her teacher’s ‘cat ears” that she failed to notice that she was sitting next to a familiar spiky haired teen.
“it’s nice to know you were able to make it here safely.” Anzu jumped when she heard Yugi’s voice. (which was odd since Yugi’s voice was probably the sweetest and cutest voice ever…) “I’m sorry I didn’t mean to scare you…again…”
Anzu blushed, “It’s not that, you just startled me, that’s all!” Anzu paused for moment, “wait…how did you get here before me.”
Yugi stared at his desk, “well, I’ve been to this school a million times before I started to attend here, there’s a lot of cool passages that run throughout the school, and you can even use some for shortcuts, if you want I can show you sometime.”  Yugi winked at Anzu with a playful smirk.
Anzu smiled back, “Yeah, that sounds like fun!”
“Attention students!” The teacher stood up in front of the class. “Now that everyone is here, I would like to welcome you all to Yokai Academy!” The teacher clapped enthusiastically. “A private academy for monsters.” The teacher’s “hair” twitched again as she held her hands up in a cat-like manner. Anzu sat in her seat bewildered…did that teacher say private academy for monsters?
“Hey, are you okay? You’re turning pale again….” Yugi looked at Anzu worriedly.
Anzu laughed nervously, “Y-yeah, I’m p-perfectly fine….” Anzu stared at the desk, it would explain about all of what happened this morning, but how is it even possible? Aren’t monsters just creature from bed time stories that scare children from bad deeds?
“Here at Yokai we hope we can help students learn to coexist with humans peacefully.” The teacher winked at the students.
“Hmph .” Anzu turned around when she heard a deep voice chuckle. Behind her was a tall and strongly built teen glaring down at her. Anzu slowly turned around trying to escape his icy glare. “Wouldn’t it be easier to kill all of the humans instead?” The boy sneered.
“No, not if we want to keep the peace and prevent chaos between us and the humans.” The teacher wagged her finger at the boy who simply scoffed at her response. Anzu sighed sinking into her seat, wht has she gotten herself into?
“What’s your problem, girly?” The boy hissed behind her causing Anzu to sit up straight.
“Uh..um..n-n-no…..” Anzu whimpered.
“What’s wrong, don’t you know how to speak properly?” The boy chuckled sending a chill down Anzu’s spine.
“Why don’t you leave her alone? She’s not bothering you..” Yugi muttered.
“What did you say you little punk? Do you want to fight?” The boy snickered, his green eyes narrowing. Yugi looked away quietly but look back at Anzu who mouthed thank you to him. He smiled then returned his attention to the teacher upfront.
“I’m looking forward to an exciting year with all of you so just try your best, okay?” The teacher smiled as the bell rung, calling the end of class. Anzu stood up as the boy behind her roughly brushed past her, almost knocking her over.
“Hey are you okay?” Yugi asked, helping her pack up.
“Yeah, I’m fine…uh thanks for standing up for me…that guy was a real jerk…” Yugi nodded in agreement.
“Well, what are friends for?” He smiled holding his hand out towards Anzu.
“Friends?” Anzu paused for  moment, if Yokai was an academy for monsters…then Yugi must have been right about being a vampire. But even if he was a vampire, he definitely  was good guy. “Yeah friends.” She took his hand.
