Chapter One: Destination is Youkai Academy

Youkai Academy. A place dedicated to teaching youkai, or monsters if you prefer, to live in harmony with humans. But while it taught youkai to live alongside humans, any humans who came near the school would be killed on sight.

Good thing it's newest student was far from human.

Our story's hero was standing at a cliff side with the academy far off into the distance. Around him was a dark and gloomy looking forest. Most of the trees were dead and barren. Skulls could be found along the ground. And at the edge of the cliff was a pumpkin headed scarecrow with the sign, Youkai Private Academy, on it. It looked like something out of a horror movie. Depending on how you looked at things, the boy standing on the cliff could or could not fit in with this background.

The boy was dressed in a rather refined manner. His main wardrobe was a standard black business suit with white rectangles. The rectangles themselves were placed in a manner that was completely symmetrical. There were two smaller rectangles along the seams where the sleeves attached to the jacket, and four small shapes that were either rectangles or squares ran along the front of his jacket. His undershirt was a formal white dress shirt, and a metallic skull rested under his collar. Perhaps his most notable feature was the three white lines that cut across the left side of his hair, stopping in a completely straight line along the front and back of his noticeable feature would be his eyes. They were two different shades of yellow, ringing around his pupil. The outside ring is a bright yellow while the inner ring is a dark yellow, similar to the color of gold. On either hand was skull shaped ring. But unlike most people who wore rings around their ring fingers, he wore rings around each of his middle fingers.

His name was Death the Kid. Or Kid for short. He was the son of Shinigami-sama, the most powerful Shinigami, or death spirit, in existence. And he was the newest student at Youkai Academy.

Kid took one look at his surroundings. Being a Shinigami, he wasn't fazed by the creepy atmosphere. But to be honest, he wasn't even paying attention to his surroundings. He was too busy looking at the scarecrow with the sign on it. He was looking at it back and forth.

"No! No! No!" he yelled in frustration. "That scarecrow is precisely two centimeters to the right! Honestly, whoever put this sign up should have known to make it perfectly symmetrical!"

Yep, that was Death the Kid. His weakness was his OCD. To him, everything had to be perfectly balanced left and right. Anything less that symmetrical sent him to hysteria and horror. And he would try whatever it took to make sure that the offending thing was perfectly symmetrical.

"There we go," he said after adjusting the scarecrow. "Absolutely perfect." He turned to face the dirt path that would lead to the school. "Now, on to the academy." He raised hand. "Beelze…"

"Look out!" a voice cried.

"Huh?" was the only thing Kid managed to get out when he felt something slam into his body. "Gah!" The next thing he knew, Kid and whatever hit him went flying through the air before crashing back down on the ground. Tying his best to shake away the perfectly symmetrical stars dancing before his eyes, Kid felt his hand rest on something. Something rather smooth and soft to the touch. Still dizzy from the fall, he squeezed whatever it was his hand was on. Right next to him came a soft little squeak. It was then that he saw his hand was on someone's thigh!

"I'm sorry!" he cried, bolting straight up and bowing.

"I'm…I'm sorry," came the soft reply. "I got dizzy from my anemia. Are you okay?"

Kid lifted his head to see who it was he was apologizing too. Sitting on the ground was a beautiful girl with bubblegum pink hair. She had a black choker, possibly made of leather, around her neck. Resting on the choker was a little chain with a silver cross on it. In the middle of the cross was some kind of purple gem. The girl's attire consisted of a green jacket with a red tie and short skirt. She opened her eyes to look at Kid. Emerald green eyes looked into his golden ones.

Kid was stunned. He had met many girls but none of them were like this girl. His face burned as he remembered his hand touching her thigh. Then he remembered her apologizing to him.

"It's quite alright," he said politely. "No harm done." He walked over to her and held out his hand. "Let me help you up."

The pink haired girl looked at Kid's hand as if seeing if it was real or not. Once she as sure it was real, she smiled sweetly. "Thank you," she said as she took his hand. Kid helped her up to her feet with ease. In terms of height, she was a little taller than Kid. But once she got back up to her feet, the girl froze, as if struck by something. Then…she started sniffing?

Kid looked at her curiously. "Is something wrong?" he asked. He gave himself a whiff. Did he smell bad or something? He started sniffing the air but couldn't smell a thing. So what was this girl smelling for?

The girl continued sniffing the air before her eyes landed on Kid. He raised an eyebrow at her before his eyes widened in panic. The girl's eyes had become glazed over.

"The scent of blood," she said in a quiet voice. "I…I…I can't…" She suddenly moved closer to Kid. "I lose control when I smell that scent."

Kid was utterly baffled. The smell of blood? Why would she lose control at the smell of blood? Unless…unless she was…

"I…I'm sorry," she said. "It's just 'cus…I'm a vampire," and then she bit into the right side of Kid's neck and started sucking his blood.

CHUU!

Instinctively, Kid shoved her away from him and leaped backwards. He quickly took a fighting stance to face her. "What is the meaning of this?" he demanded.

"I'm sorry," the girl cried out in panic. "I…I didn't mean any harm! Your blood was so good that I just couldn't help myself!" she bowed. "Please forgive me."

Seeing this caused Kid to soften. The only vampire Kid had ever met before was Mosquito. But he was over eight hundred years old and purposely evil. Kid figured that younger vampires must have trouble controlling their urges for blood and that this girl here had not meant any ill intentions.

"It's okay," he reassured her. "I apologize for my actions. I thought you were trying to kill me."

"I really wasn't," the girl explained. She blushed a little while poking her index fingers together. "It's just that your blood tasted so yummy."

Kid felt himself blush at that comment. Perhaps to a vampire, the blood of a Shinigami was quite addicting. But he silently prayed that his father and friends never found out about this.

"Um," the girl said as she started fiddling with her hands. "Do you…hate vampires?" she asked.

Kid looked at her in surprise. Pausing to think about his response, he replied to her. "No," he said. "To be honest I've never met a vampire before." He considered the bizarre Mosquito too freaky to be an actual vampire. "But I wouldn't mind being friends with one."

The girl's face broke into a bright smile. "Really?" she asked. "You really would?"

Kid smiled at her. "Of course,"

"That's great," the girl said happily. "Then would you like to be my friend? I was feeling lonely since I don't know anyone here."

"Of course," Kid told her. "However, could I ask you something?"

The girl nodded. "Sure."

Kid pointed to the left side of his neck. "Could you please bite me here?"

The girl's eyes widened in shock. "What?" she asked, wondering if this was a dream.

"You only bit the right side of my neck," Kid told her. "Please bite the left side of my neck now otherwise it won't be symmetrical anymore." Then he got down on his knees. "Please…please I beg of you! Please bite my left side now!"

Now the girl was really confused and a little bit uncomfortable. But then her mind drifted to that delicious blood she had drank from him and realized that he was practically allowing her to have seconds.

"You mean it?" She asked excitedly. "You really mean it?"

"Yes?" Kid said weakly. "Please. Just please bit the left side."

Feeling weak at the knees, the girl walked over and got down on the ground next to Kid. Putting her hands on his shoulders, she bit the left side of his neck.

CHUU!

"Aw," Kid said despite the pain in his neck. "Much better."

Much better was right in Moka's case too. Getting to drink that delicious blood twice had been a wonderful treat to her.

"My name's Moka Akashiya," the vampire girl said sweetly as she and Kid walked towards the school. She pushing her bike next to her. Turned that she was riding her bike when she had lost control due to her anemia and crashed into Kid.

"My name is Death the Kid," Kid said politely.

Moka blinked and looked at Kid. "Is that really your name?" she asked in wonder.

Kid chuckled. "Yes it is," he told her kindly. "But you can call me Kid for short."

Moka smiled. "Please to meet you, Death the Kid," she said. "When the entrance ceremony is over, please talk to me some more ok?"

Kid smiled at her. "Of course," he told.

"Okay," Moka said cutely. She hopped on her bike and pedaled away. "See you later, Kid!"

Kid waved at her. "Bye, Moka." And he started walking towards the school.

"I wonder what all the other Youkai are like," he said to himself. "Are they all as friendly as Moka is?"

But then he remembered his father's words.

Now remember, son. The reason you need to go to Youkai Academy is for the fate of the world. If youkai give into the madness of the Kishin, that would be worse than if humans do. Youkai have various special abilities and most of them still have grudges against humans for the all the years they had been at war with each other. You're job is to make sure that no one tries to bring madness onto that school.

"I understand, father," Kid said quietly. "I will not fail."

A shadow loomed over him, meaning that he was right at the school. He looked up at it. And his face became one of horror.

"No!" he cried. "It's…it's horrible. It's…it's revolting. The school…the school is asymmetrical!" he fell to his knees crying. "Father," he wept. "How could you send me to such an awful place?"

Through sheer willpower alone, Kid managed to pick himself up and go inside the school. According to his father, his classroom was number 193. Or was it 163? The 9 or 6 was sideways so he couldn't tell. The sight nearly sent him into hysterics. Couldn't he have been given a classroom with the number eight in it?

Like or lump it, Kid was here to stay and found himself seated among all the other students. The girls were wearing the same clothes as Moka was. Guys wore similar similar jackets but they had brown pants instead of skirts. Of course.

Kid stuck out like sore thumb and he knew it. His suit, his rings, his (he shivered at this) Sanzu lines. He had gotten plenty of stares as he had walked to his class. Not to mention some comments.

Do you see that guy?

Who does that punk think he is, dressing up in that suit while we got to wear this junk?

He's asking for trouble.

I think he's cute.

Do you see how nice that suit is? He's got to be rich.

Oh, do you think he'll notice me?

But his father assured him that the school had allowed him to wear his suit. According to his father, the man who ran this academy was an old friend of his who was actually pleased to have Death's Son attend the school. Kid made a mental note to try and find this man later on. And complain about why the school wasn't symmetrical.

"Hello, everyone and welcome to Youkai Academy!" a cheerful voice said. "I am your home room teacher, Shizuka Nekonome!"

Kid, who was organizing everything on his desk to be perfectly symmetrical, looked up at his homeroom teacher. She was wearing a sphaggeti strap and skirt on. Her hair was blonde but tufts of it resembled cat ears. A tail stuck out from under the skirt. Aside from the glasses on her face, she reminded Kid of Blair. Thinking of the magical cat made Kid gulped. His hoped Miss Nekonome was nothing like Blair.

"I think you all already know this but," Nekonome said. "This is…a school built for the sake of monsters to attend."

Kid grinned to himself as she said this. He could just imagine Liz freaking out if she had been told that. That was one of the reasons why his two weapons, Elizabeth "Liz" and Patricia "Patty" Thompson, were not with him. Liz could not stand monsters and ghosts so she wouldn't last a day in the academy. And if she didn't come, Kid couldn't use Patty as he refused to use one weapon without the other. Otherwise his symmetry would be ruined.

"Our current problem," Nekonome said cheerfully as she tapped the blackboard. "Is that the Earth has come under the control of the humans. In order for us monsters to continue to survive, we have no choice but to peacefully coexist with the humans. At this academy, you will be studying "how to coexist with humans"!"

Kid smirked. This school was in the bag for him. Even though he was a Shinigami, his lifestyle was no different than that of humans. He would pass this academy with flying colors.

"So for that reason," Nekonome continued. "You will all live your lives at this academy in human form. Do you understand? It's a matter of being able to disguise yourself well as a human! This is the foundation of coexistence. You are never to allow any of your fellow students to know your 'true form' understand?"

Kid's smirk got bigger. Again, easy for him. He was already in his true form so he had nothing to worry about. Still, he did find himself fascinated by the academy's purpose. It would be nice to see humans and youkai getting along with each other.

"Hey teacher," voice next to Kid said. "Would it not be better for us to eat up those puny humans?" then he added in a lower voice. "And in the case of beautiful girls, better to molest them?"

Kid's face darkened. "What was that?" he asked, the anger quiet but evident in his voice. "What did you just say?"

The speaker turned around to look at Kid. The guy was of large size with slicked back hair but an ugly face. The guy frowned when he took in Kid's appearance before it turned into a sneer. He was about to say something to Kid when Miss Nekonome continued talking.

"Incidentally," she said. "Here at Youkai Academy, the teachers and students are all monsters. There are no genuine humans here."

For good reason. Kid thought to himself, glaring over at the guy who had commented about eating and molesting humans.

"Since this academy is a secret, sacred world," Nekonome went on. "To those humans who come to know of our existence, we will bring death on them or something."

Kid's eyes widened in shock. Death to humans? What kind of rule was that? Wasn't the whole point of this academy so that humans and monsters could live together? How did they intend to accomplish that if they were willing to kill any humans?

Maybe I can do something about this. Kid thought to himself. Just then, the door opened.

"After the entrance ceremony I kinda got lost in the school," a familiar voice said. "Sorry I'm late."

"Oh that's fine," Nekonome said kindly. "Just take a seat."

"Ok!"

Kid looked up. Much to surprise. It was none other than Moka. What were the chances of her being in the same room as him? Not that it bothered Kid. He felt like she was the only one he could trust at the moment.

"Who is she?" some other guys said. "S…such flowing hair. Big eyes!"

"Whoa, beautiful!" another guy said. "Even if it just her transformation, there isn't anyone who could transform into such a beautiful girl."

"She's too hot!" the boys cried. "I'm so happy to be in the same class as this girl!"

Kid frowned. Perverts. He thought to himself. He noticed the nervous look on Moka's face as the boys started getting up from their desks to see her better. Quickly Kid got up from his desk.

"Greetings, Moka," he said politely. "I trust you are well?"

Moka blinked. "Huh? K…Kid?" She looked in front of her and saw Kid standing there. Suddenly she flew at him and wrapped her arms around him. "It's Kiiiiiiid! We're in the same class?" she asked excitedly as she hugged him in joy.

Kid felt his face burn up. Was this what Soul felt like with Blair?

"Aaaaaaah!" the other guys shouted. "What's with this guy? What relation does he have with that girl?"

Further away, the punk looking guy licked his lips. "Huuuum," he said quietly.

After class, Kid felt really awkward. Moka was dragging him through the school, her arm wrapped around his arm. She was being a little forward for his taste but at least it was better than Blair. Kid shook his head to clear out the memory of when he first met her. When she had been wearing nothing but a towel. Kid shot a look at Moka. She looked really happy, like a little kid in a candy factory.

Is she really that happy to have a friend? He asked himself.

"Hey, hey!" Moka said. "Isn't this a cool hallway?"

Kid snorted. "No," he told her.

Moka blinked. "Why not?" she asked.

"Look at the tiles!" he cried out. "They have zigzag patterns! Zigzag patterns! There's nothing symmetrical about zigzags. Zigzags are the absolute definition of asymmetry!"

Moka blinked again. "Huh?"

Kid sighed. "Moka," he told her slowly. "Symmetry is the balance of right and left. Balance is absolutely perfect. Symmetry is the supreme beauty."

Moka listened to Kid, then looked at him in confusion. "You like symmetry?" she asked.

"Symmetry is my art," Kid replied with a passion.

Moka pouted in puzzlement. "But then…why do you only have three stripes on the left side of your head and none on the right?"

Suddenly Kid was on his knees, pounding the ground with his fist.

"You're right!" he cried. "I'm an abomination! I'm filthy and dirty. Garbage! Aysmmetrical garbage!"

Moka began waving her arms wildly as Kid's crying started to attract a crowd. "You…you're not garbage, Kid." She told him. "You're not garbage at all."

Slowly, Kid looked up at her. "You really don't think I'm garbage?" he asked her.

Moka shook her head, relaxed that Kid had stopped. "Nope," she told him. Then her cheeks turned a little pink. "I think you're really kind and polite."

Kid stared at Moka. No one…no one had ever said that about him before. Feeling his own cheeks turning pink, Kid got back up to his feet.

"Well thing," he said. "Shall we go?" he held out his arm.

Giggling, Moka looped her own arm around his and they continued walking.

"Hey! Did you see that girl?"

"Whoa beautiful! I've never seen such a hottie!"

"I…I wanna date her!"

"Hey! Who's that guy next to her?"

"Perhaps he'll leave on his own?"

"If not, then that jerk is dead!"

"Let's just kill him right now."

While Moka was blissfully unaware of what was being said about her and Kid, Kid was not. He heard them all plain as day and felt disgusted. Were all the guys in this school nothing but perverts hoping to take advantage of Moka. From what he had gathered, Moka was very polite and innocent. A rough enough guy could take advantage of her.

Not while I'm around. Kid thought to himself.

"Hmm, such a pretty one."

That voice snapped Kid out of his thoughts as he looked up. His eyes narrowed. It was that punk from before. Now that he wasn't sitting down, Kid could get a better look at him. His jacket was out in a sloppy manner that made him think of Black Star. But that wasn't the worst of it. The guy had four piercings on his left ear while he only had two on his right. The right side of his mouth had two piercings while the left side had known. Kid's anger flared up.

Not only is this guy a pervert. Kid thought to himself. But he's asymmetrical trash.

But the big guy completely ignored Kid and focused all his attention on Moka.

"You are called Moka Akashiya are you not?" the guy asked. "I am your classmate, Saizou Komiya! Nice to meet you."

Kid tensed up. Trash suits you better. He thought. He also became aware that the hallway had become quiet. Everyone was looking at Saizou in fear. So he's one of those types. Figures.

Suddenly Saizou grabbed Kid by his collar and yanked him up. "By the way," Saizou asked Moka. "Why is a beautiful lady like yourself associating with a guy like this?"

Moka became fearful as Saizou looked at her. With a smirk, Saizou dropped Kid. Kid looked up at him and was about to retort when he heard the other students talking amongst themselves.

"It's Saizou! That guy is Saizou Komiya!"

"He seems like he's probably one of those ill mannered suspicious rouge monsters."

You think? Kid mentally retorted.

"He sounds like quite a ladies man, from all the human women he's molested."

Kid felt as if time had frozen for him. Human girls? Molested?

"They say he caused too many problems out in there in human society and was forced into this academy against his will."

Saizou, ignoring the comments from the crowd, smiled as he pointed at himself. "Wouldn't someone like me be far superior to that sort of scummy guy?" he asked Moka. "Why don't we go off somewhere just the two of us and have some fun?"

Kid felt the fury bubble up inside of him.

"Well?" Saizou said, moving right into Moka's face. "Why don't we go out for a bit?"

"Wha…?" Moka started to say.

Bam!

The next thing everyone saw was Saizou landing on the ground, clutching his now bleeding nose. Furiously, he looked up to see what had hit him. Standing in front of Moka was Kid. He was in a bizarre stance where his body was bent at an odd angle with his right arm pointing upward at an angle while his left arm was pointing downward.

"Kid?" Moka asked in surprise.

"Death God Martial Arts," Kid said. "Stance of Sin!"

Saizou got back up to his feet. "What do you think you're doing?" he growled at Kid.

"Personally I'd rather not fight trash like you," Kid said. "But I will give this warning." His face became dark. "Stay away from Moka. Or I will kill you."

The other students gasped at Kid's declaration. Moka's own eyes widened. Then she softened. Kid's tone was not one of possessiveness. But one of protectiveness. It made her kind blush at the protecting tone in Kid's voice. It made her feel...special.

Saizou was furious. This scum had the nerve to attack him and threaten him? Oh he was asking for death there!

But just as the two were about to fight, Moka grabbed Kid.

"I'm sorry," she said as he ran off with Kid in tow. "I'm having fun with Kid right now!"

"What?" Kid cried out. "Moka, wait!"

Saizou growled as he watched the two get away. "Just watch me," he said as he wiped the blood away. "I never allow a nice woman like you to escape."

Once they had run far enough, Moka finally let go of Kid.

"That was surprising wasn't it?" Moka asked. "I got a little scared."

Kid took gasps of breath. That girl sure could run. "Moka," he said. "Why did you pull me away?"

Moka froze when he asked her that. Playing with her hands, she looked at the ground.

"I don't want you to get hurt," she replied.

Kid blinked at her.

"You're my first friend I've ever had," she said softly.

Kid's eyes widened. Her first real friend?

"To me," Moka said quietly. "That's….that's really special. I've never had a friend before and I don' want to lose the first one I've ever made."

Kid softened at her words. Calmly he walked over to her and put a hand on her shoulder.

"Kid?" she asked in surprise, feeling her face became warm.

"It's okay," he told her softly. "I'm not going anywhere."

Moka felt tears of happiness build up in her eyes as she hugged him back.

"Thank you," she whispered.

A moment passed and the two realized Kid's hand was still on her shoulder. They both quickly pulled away from each other. Both had a light blush on their face and felt really awkward.

"Kid," Moka said.

"Hmm?" Kid replied.

"Thank you for letting me suck on your blood," she said happily. "You should be proud of yourself! It's way better than any of the blood I drank before from those transfusion packs! It's full bodied, and the sweetness and mineral balance are all perfect."

Kid cringed. "Moka, am I food to…" then his brain fully processed what she said. "What did you say?"

"I said the sweetness and mineral balance are perfect," Moka repeated.

Kid's jaw fell open. Suddenly he was right in front of her, grabbing her by the shoulders. "Really? The balance is perfect?" he asked.

Moka nodded. "Uh-huh," she chirped. "Absolutely perfect!"

Kid felt his body trembling. Perfect? Perfect? Tears of joy began pouring from his face.

"Kid!" Moka cried out in concern. "Are you okay? Did I say something wrong?"

Suddenly Kid wrapped Moka in another hug.

"Thank you!" he cried. "Thank you for saying that. You made me so happy! I feel…I feel complete."

Moka was confused at first but then remembered Kid's obsession with symmetry. She had caused him to get excited by saying the balance in his blood was perfect. She giggled. This snapped Kid out of his ecstasy.

"What?" he asked. "What's so funny?"

"Nothing," Moka said between giggles. Then she blushed. "I'm just glad to meet a guy like you, Kid."

Kid felt his cheeks burn.

I really hope Liz and Patty never find out about this.

The rest of the day, Kid and Moka spent their time together. Moka showed Kid all the sights and places to the academy. Occasionally there'd be something asymmetrical that would send Kid into hysterics, so Moka would have to calm Kid down.

Despite the school's various monster themes, Kid was used to it. When you come from Death City, every day is Halloween. Especially when your dad is the most powerful Shinigami in existence.

Right now the two were taking a stroll in the forest. As they did, Kid noticed several tombstones all around.

What are these? He asked himself. Are they decoration? Or are they the graves of humans who found out about this school.

"Look, Kid," Moka said, pointing. "There's the school dorm we'll be living in!"

Kid looked where she was pointing and saw a large string of apartments. His face became stark white when he saw them.

"So cool," Moka gushed. "Such a building full of dignity and character."

"How can you say that?" Kid cried. "Look at it! It's all crooked and out of place! How do they expect me to live in such an asymmetrical building? It's bad enough that I have to take classes in one!" he fell to his knees again. "What have I done to deserve this fate?"

Moka giggled. Originally she would panic whenever Kid would go into his ranting. Now…now she found them cute. As she giggled, her Rosario clinked back and forth. Snapping out of his mood, Kid looked at the Rosario around Moka's neck. He hadn't gotten a good look at it before and his eyes widened at how symmetrical it was.

"See, Moka," he said, pointing to her Rosario. "Your Rosario is the absolute form of Symmetry. It's perfectly shaped so that it's balance on both left and right. As the way things should be. Your Rosario is a work of art."

Moka blushed again. "Thank you," she said. Then her face softened. "See, I wear this Rosario for a reason."

Kid raised an eyebrow. "Oh?" he asked.

"You see," Moka explained. "If I take off this Rosario, I become a real, evil, scary, vampire."

Kid looked at her and then back down at the Rosario. "You mean it's a seal?" he asked.

Moka nodded. "Rosaries have the effect of sealing off a vampire's power. Since in my original I was hated and caused conflict, I put this Rosario on myself so I'd keep my vampire powers sealed."

Kid looked at the Rosario fascinated. "Amazing," he said. "Whoever made it must be really powerful and skilled."

He became aware of Moka suddenly being right next to him. "Mo…Moka?"

"But even if our powers are sealed," Moka said with a blush as she put her hands on Kid. "We do still end up craving blood. My weakness." She dug her fangs into the left side of Kid's neck.

CHUU!

"Ow!"

"Sorry, Kid!'

"Quick! Bit the right side now! It has to be symmetrical. Please! Please bite it!"

"~Okay~"

CHUU!

The next day had come and Kid was walking to school. All in all, it had been a crazy first day. He had managed to endure going into that asymmetrical dorm and found his room. He immediately began getting everything ready that the room was absolutely perfect. Luckily his dorm was small so he didn't need to take three hours to fix everything like Gallows Manor. And now here he was , walking to school among the others. Once again, he was wearing his black suit while all the others were wearing the standard uniform.

"Hey! Wait up, Loverboy!"

Kid froze when he heard that voice. He turned around to see Saizou sitting up against a tree. His eyes narrowed.

"What do you want?" Kid asked in disgust.

Saizou ran over to him and once again yanked Kid up by his collar. Saizou slammed Kid against the wall around the school. The other students stopped to see what was going on. Some who had seen Kid attack Saizou were eager to see what would happen next.

"It looks like you had a lot of fun with Moka Akashiya yesterday," Saizou said dangerously. "And you're gonna pay for it today! Your true form! What is your true form?"

Kid 'hmph' at him. "My true form?" he asked. "You want to know my true form?"

Saziou pressed Kid harder against the wall but it didn't bother Kid in the slightest. "Yeah!" he said. "What's your true form!"

Kid smiled. "My true form," he said coolly. "Is a Shinigami."

All the students who gathered let out a loud gasp of shock. Saizou's eyes widened. Then he punched the wall just above Kid, causing a massive hole to form. The crowd began clapping at Saizou's display of strength. Saizou dropped Kid on the ground.

"A Shinigami you say?" Saizou asked, glaring at Kid. "The one species believed to be evenly matched, if not possibly stronger, classed with vampires? You playing with me?" As he said this, his right arm started growing bigger and more muscular.

Kid was unimpressed. Saizou was nothing more than a bully who believed in using brute force and intimidation to get his way.

"You asked a question and I gave an answer," he replied. "It's not my fault if you don't believe me."

Saizou was reaching his boiling point with Kid. Nothing he did seemed to rattle the guy. But if he really was a Shinigami then…

"Anyway," he said, turning around. "Don't go near Moka again! If you even talk to her again you're dead boy." He started to walk away.

"I believe it's the other way around," Kid said as he got up. "If you lay even one finger on Moka, I will show you no mercy."

It took everything Saizou had not to attack Kid right then and there. But there were too many witnesses here. No. If he was gonna kill Kid, then it would be when they were alone and without witnesses.

Just you wait, brat. Saizou thought to himself. Moka belongs to me.

Kid decided the best thing to do was look for Moka. She looked far too sweet and innocent to defend herself mad he couldn't bear the thought the thought of someone so pure and innocent in the hands of a monster like Saizou. So he began looking for her. As he did, he heard people talking about him.

"Did you hear about Kid? I heard he stood up to Saizou without battering an eye."

"That's nothing. I heard that his true form is a Shinigami."

"A Shinigami? Are you for real?

"Shinigami are said to be really powerful. Even vampires have trouble fighting then."

"I heard his full name is Death the Kid. Think it means anything?"

"Pfft. He's probably just saying that to make himself look cool."

"Cool is right. I loved the way he stood up to Saizou. Do you think he's single?"

Kid sighed as he continued. He didn't mean to be the center of attention. He just wasn't going to allow someone to treat a sweet soul like Maka as if she was property. He couldn't find her in the school ground which meant she might still be in the dorms. Fearing the worst, Kid opened his hand.

"Beelzebub!" he shouted.

Black energy in the shape of skulls came out of his hand as a skateboard materialized. It had red wheels and a green deck with a design of two symmetrical skulls at the jaw part. Kid hopped on the skateboard and blasted off towards the dorms.

"Hold on, Moka," he said. "I'm coming."

Suddenly a pair of arms grabbed him from behind as something tackled him.

"Morning!" Moka said cheerfully.

Moka!" Kid cried joyfully as he came to a halt. "Thank goodness you're safe."

Moka looked at him confused. "Safe?" she asked.

"It's Saizou," Kid said darkly. "He's looking for you."

Moka gulped as her body began trembling. Kid noticed this and gently touched her arm.

"It's okay," he told her gently. "I'll protect you. I promise I won't let anything bad happen to you."

Moka's eyes widened for a moment before she smiled softly.

"Come on," Kid said. "Let's get back to the school."

Moka nodded. "Yes,"

"Stop right there!"

Moka and Kid both froze as someone stomped into the clearing where they were. It was Saizou. And he was not pleased. Moka cowered behind Kid, who stood his ground.

"I thought I told you to stay away from Moka," Saizou said.

Kid's eyes narrowed. "And I believe I told you the same thing."

Saizou growled. "You know what?" he asked. "I'm getting sick and tired of you."

Kid stood his ground. "Believe me, the feeling is mutual." He took a fighting stance. "In the name of all the women you have molested, I shall make you pay! Death God Martial Arts: Stance of Sin!"

Saizou snarled now. "Alright, Kid! You asked for it!"

Saizou's body began to grow. He became large and muscular, causing his shirt to rip. He was completely grotesque. He laughed. "I'm gonna enjoy this little violation of the school's rules." He pumped his arms. "Let's see what you got, Shinigami!"

Moka's eyes widened in shock as she looked at Kid, who was unfazed by Saizou's taunting.

Shinigami! She gasped. Kid's a Shinigami?

Kid said nothing as Saizou came charging at him. In a flash, Kid was gone.

"What?" Saizou said in shock. "Where did he go?"

Bam!

A foot collided with Saizou's face, the blow sending him crashing into a nearby tree. He looked up to see Kid glaring at him.

Moka's eyes widened. Kid is strong.

Kid was busy analyzing his opponent. He's strong but nothing compared to my previous opponents. I won't even have to use my full strength or my Sanzu line on him

The truth was, Kid was using only a little bit of his power. He was going to show Saizou how weak the orc was compared to him.

Furious, Saizou got to his feet and charged again. Kid stepped to the side and slammed his leg symmetrically into Saizou's back. The orc like beast fell into the ground. Now really angry, he tried swiping his claw at Kid. Kid effortless dodged the attack and swung his fist upward, catching Saizou right underneath the chin. The blow made Saizou's head snap up and Kid used that to his advantage by leaping into the air. He did an aerial flip and slammed both of his feet down on Saizou's head. The blow knocked Saizou in the ground where his head made a hole while Kid landed perfectly on his feet, looking in a t or cross formation.

"Exactly and precisely," he said.

Moka watched the fight in admiration. Despite being smaller and less muscular than Saizou, Kid was obvious stronger and a better fighter.

"Your sins have caught up with you," Kid said as he walked over at Saizou. "And you will pay for them."

Saizou grinned. "Think again." He picked up some dirt and threw it in Kid's eyes. Kid began wiping his eyes to clear them, but it gave Saizou the time to punch Kid in the stomach. The blow sent him crashing into some nearby tombstones.

"Kid!" Moka cried as she ran towards him.

Much to her surprise, Kid was back on his feet and looked pretty much unscathed aside from his now rumbled clothing.

"Don't worry, Moka," he said as he gave her a smile. "It'll take a lot more than that to even scratch me." He started walking towards Saizou. But as he did, he accidentally stumbled against one of the tombstone pieces that fell off when he crashed. Losing his balance, Kid reached out for the closest thing he could grab to steady himself. His hand grabbed something but then it broke off. Kid continued falling but caught himself with his free hand.

"Huh?" he looked to see what he had grabbed. His eyes widened when he saw it was Moka's Rosario. He looked at her. "Uh-oh." He said to himself.

Suddenly the whole ground began to tremble and shake.

"What's…what's going on?" Saizou cried.

Incredible. Kid thought. Her soul wavelength is amazing. So this is the power of a real vampire.

Kid watched with wide eyes as Moka's body became covered in a dark aura. Right in front of him, Moka's body began to change. Her hair had turned silver and her fangs were more visible. Kid also felt his face heat up when he saw Moka's body became like that of a woman's. He immediately shook his head to get any bad thoughts out. When the transformation was complete, she looked at him with slitted, crimson eyes.

"Death the Kid," she said in a deeper voice that sent shivers through Kid's body. "I thank you for protecting my body." She looked over at Saizou. "But this fight is mine."

Kid opened his mouth to say something but realized that this Moka was probably more than capable of defending herself. And since she had been the one Saizou wanted to molest, this really was her fight.

"I understand," he told her politely. "I will not interfere."

Inner Moka smiled. "A gentleman," she said. Then she looked at Saizou, who was trembling with fear.

"Just like the legends!" He cried. "Red eyes and intense supernatural energy! This…this is a super vampire?"

Moka smirked. "What's wrong, rogue one?" she asked him. "You…want me right? Just try and take me…by force." She took an inviting pose. "Won't you?"

Kid stared at this new Moka. She was a whole different person now.

Saizou was furious. He had been made a fool out of by that kid. He was not gonna let a woman get the better of him. Furiously he charged forward at Moka.

Kid shook his head. "He walked into his own execution."

Just as Saizou was brought his fist down on Moka, he paused. No matter how much strength he put into his arm, she wouldn't budge.

"Attacking me with just this degree of strength?" Inner Moka asked mockingly. "You had better…know your place!"

With that, Inner Moka leaped into the air and kicked Saizou right in the face. The blow sent him flying back several yards, crashing into tombstones and trees as he did so.

Inner Moka smiled. "A low class monster like you who has nothing to show for his size, doesn't even make a decent opponent in this contest of strength."

Kid watched the fight in absolute amazement. She was a powerful and graceful fighter.

Inner Moka turned around and started walking towards Kid.

"So you are a Shinigami," she said, looking at Kid up and down. "I never imagined one would come to this school."

Kid said nothing, debating whether or not to tell her his real mission for coming.

"I believe you are a Shinigami," Inner Moka continued. She pointed at his hair. "You bear the Lines of Sanzu. Only Shinigami bear them. Tell me, are any of them complete yet?"

Kid was momentarily thrown off. He hadn't expected her to know about the Sanzu lines. Especially since the other Moka didn't know what they were.

"It was a passing mention," Inner Moka explained as if reading his thoughts. "My outer self did not remember but I did. I always wanted to meet the rivals of the vampires."

"Rivals?" Kid asked. He had never heard of such a thing.

Inner Moka smiled. "Shinigami are spirits of death. Vampires are immortal. We are two sides of the same coin."

Kid smiled at that. "Indeed we are. Perfectly symmetrical. As for your previous question, I have only managed to complete one of the Lines."

Inner Moka's eyes lit up in what appeared to be excitement. A Shinigami so young and he already managed to connect one of his lines? He had to be powerful.

"I want to thank you, Death the Kid," she said.

"For what?" he asked in confusion.

"For protecting my outer self," Inner Moka explained. "You have been nothing but a kind gentleman who put her before yourself." Then she got closer to him and stroked his cheek. "And you have such delicious blood. I can see now. The blood of a Shinigami can be quite…intoxicating."

Kid felt his face heat up at that. Did she have to say it like that? Now he knew how Soul felt with Blair. Then, Inner Moka snatched the Rosario from his hand.

"I'm still tired," Inner Moka explained. "Until we meet again, Death the Kid. And take good care of my other sentimental self."

She reconnected the Rosario to her choker. In a flash of light she returned to the innocent Moka that Kid had first encountered. Suddenly her body lurched forward and Kid quickly caught her in his arms.

"Moka?" he asked her. "Moka?"

But she was sound asleep. The peaceful look on her face put his mind at ease.

"Get some rest, Moka," he told her softly. "You've more than earned it."

The next day came and Kid was walking towards the school. The events of yesterday still fresh in his head.

"Amazing," he said to himself. "Completely amazing. On the one hand there is the sweet and innocent Outer Moka and on the other hand there is the powerful and confident Inner Moka. Two sides of the same coin. They balance each other out in perfect symmetry." His face flushed. "What are the odds that I would meet such an amazing person like her in all the world?"

"Morning!" Moka chirped, tackling Kid from behind. "What'cha doing?"

Kid's face turned beet red, praying that she hadn't overheard his conversation with himself.

"Just…heading to school," he mumbled.

"Okay," Moka said happily. Then her face softened. "Kid. I want to thank you."

"My pleasure," Kid said with a smile. "I always protect those I care about."

Moka's face reddened as Kid said this. "Kid," she said. "Whenever I'm around you, my heart beats so hard."

And Kid's heart felt like it was about to have an attack. "Eh?" he asked.

"But I wanna suck your blood?" She bit into his neck.

CHUU!

"Ack!" Kid cried. "Remember, you have to get both sides of my neck or it won't be symmetrical!"

"Really? You'll still let me suck your blood twice?"

"Anything, just please don't leave it asymmetrical!"

"Thank you, Kid! Thank you!"

CHUU!

"Ack!"

Father, Liz, Patty, and the others must never find out about this.
