Shocking Flame
(Ok, I've always loved the idea of going to a boarding school, a kind of fancy one, in anime manga and other fan fictions, it seems your roommates always become your very best friends, so I wanted to write a fan fic about just that. I hope you enjoy it! The main character Mokou is a braixen)
Mokou stood in front of the gates of the school, it was a huge building, five stories tall for the classrooms of each instructor. He was nervous, before now, he was home schooled. His parents were fairly wealthy and with the new job, they would have to travel constantly, therefore, he would be a lone much of the time. They thought it would be best for him to go to a boarding school, that way he wouldn't be completely alone. He sighed again, a little puff of fire coming from his muzzle. He was dressed in a pair of blue jeans and a black t-shirt, his figure was slim, as was typical for his kind. His bags were in his right paw, His left paw was tightened around the stick in his tail. At times like this, he would hold onto his stick, it calmed him. Made him feel at ease. Despite being an old school, the building itself had a modern look to it. The building was large and had a wall surrounding it, the wall was a red brick wall with a cement top to it.
It almost looked like Japanese school, but, there were many Japanese Americans that settled here before, so that was to be expected. His parents and he were no exception. They had a Japanese heritage as well. The building still looked daunting, with one last deep breath, he opened the gates, stepping inside the courtyard. The courtyard was elegant, a lilligant wearing a sun dress tended to the flowers and grass that surrounded the concrete path to the main doors of the school.
"Oh! A new student I see?" She called out cheerfully to Mokou.
He nodded and scratched behind his ears nervously, a smile spreading across his muzzle
"Y-yeah! I was home schooled until now!" He said as she had halted her work with the flowers just to talk to him.
"Oh, must be nerve racking huh? Don't worry! You'll do fine!" She said again with the same cheerful tone, Mokou loved that, it was always nice to have a nice faculty member.
"Mmhmm, I'm kind of scared thought, but I'll do my best!" Mokou said with a bit of newfound confidence.
Mokou turned as the lilligant flashed him a friendly smile, and entered the doors to the school. Inside was the lobby, it had bright white walls and mint green time floors, an HDTV sat above an admissions desk to the right of him. Leather couches were pressed against against the wall to the left of him, and straight ahead were hallways most likely leading to class rooms or dorms. Mokou lugged his bags with him as he walked to the admissions counter, there, a young Cincinno sat, typing away on a computer, she was dressed in a suit, and wore glasses on top of her muzzle. At the sound of Mokou's footsteps she looked up and flashed a polite smile,
"Ahh, the new student! Welcome to Sakura academy. You're here a bit early! Most students are still in their dorms right now, it's only seven thirty in the morning!" She said in a matter-of-factly tone. Mokou sighed and nodded embarrassed,
"My parents had a plane to catch, they couldn't hold it out any longer" he said, the Cincinno nodded and soon a vibration could he heard, she handed him a sheet of paper.
"Here's your schedule, classes start at nine, your dorm room is on there as well." She said, she also gave him his dorm key, followed by a have a nice day as Mokou thanked her, walking to the elevator at the end of the short northern hallway out of the lobby.
His dorm was on the top floor, perfect... He was afraid of heights too! He pressed the top button, and waited a few seconds before the silver doors opened and he stepped inside. A few seconds later, the doors opened again, this time, it reminded him of a hotel hall way, except a lot wider, and the rooms much more spread out. The floors had forest green carpet, and the walls were a light green. Each door had a marking labeled five and then a letter of the alphabet. His dorm was room 5F. He stepped out onto the carpet, being he had paw pads, he rarely wore shoes, the carpet felt plush beneath his paws. After a few seconds he found his dorm.
Oh man... What would his roommates think...? Arriving so early... Sucking up his apprehensions, he opened the door with the key he had been given. Creaking the door open, he tip toed into the room, trying not to wake anyone. Sadly it was pitch black and soon red eyes appeared from the blackness. Before he could yell, a paw clamped Mokou's muzzle shut. A restrained laugh was heard and soon two laughs echoed from the blackness as the Pokémon holding Mokou silent laughed at his horrified trembles. As the lights were switched on, Mokou could see an Umbreon, who was only in his boxers and held his muzzle shut with a powerful paw, and on the couch, again, in his boxers, a grovyle.
"Welcome to the academy." The Umbreon said, his voice was as smooth as silk, and masculine, deep.
"Hope we didn't scare ya too bad~" the grovyle piped up, his voice was childish, cocky even. Mokou sighed as his muzzle was freed. Now that there was light, he could see the room. It was much larger than he had thought it would be, the carpet was a light purple color, the walls an off white color, there was a couch pressed against the wall to the right of him, there was even a small kitchen and dining table to his left. To the right was a small separated room, it was probably a bedroom, and past the kitchen was another separated room, another bedroom. In front of him, was an entertainment center pressed against the wall by the couch. Onto of it stood a 20" LCDTV.
"It's a lot bigger than I thought it would be," Mokou said.
"Mmhmm, this is a pretty comfortable place," the grovyle said
"Well, I think introductions are in order," said the Umbreon.
"My name is Akihiko Mori." The grovyle said
"And mine is Kuro Gekkou" the Umbreon said
Mokou nodded at them and let a grin creep onto his muzzle
"My name is Mokou Fujiwara, nice to meet you two," he said.
Kuro yawned, as did Aki, in finally even Mokou yawned, he had to get up really early today to get here after all...
"Classes don't start for a while, might as well get some sleep while we can huh?" Kuro suggested.
"Yeah, we still got an hour before we usually get up, here Mokou, why don't I show you your bed," Mori said. Mokou nodded and followed him as he walked to the door, swinging it open. The room was fairly large, there were two beds, against the walls, a dresser between them, and two desks to do work on. The carpet was the same light purple color, and the walls were the same. The sheets of the bed were blue, and looked to the fluffy and comfortable looking.
"You get the room to yourself, we already chose the other room." Mori said, "See you later"
Mori closed the door, leaving Mokou alone. Mokou walked to the bed beside the window, the gray morning sky greeted him, he let himself rest on the bed, and he didn't bother undressing. He simply lay on the plush blankets and pillow, letting sleep take him. His roommates were nice at least, and it seemed as though it was a relatively friendly school, maybe, it would be more fun than he thought. After an hour of dreamless sleep, an alarm beside his bed went off, the shrill BEEP BEEP BEEP made sleep impossible, he groaned and slapped it off. He never did like alarm clocks, he usually set his iPod as his alarm. With a yawn, he lifted himself from the plush bed, the skies that had once been dark and gloomy, were now sunny and bright, rays of sunshine filled the room, and he could see the white puffy clouds in the distance. Being a fire type, he naturally loved sunny days, they strengthened his fire moves and raised his spirits, warmed his fur and made him energetic. He opened the door of his bedroom, yawning as he stepped into the living space of the dorm, he saw Mori and Kuro had already awoken and were sitting on the couches. They had uniforms on, a pair of grey dress pants with a short sleeved dress shirt, the shirt had two black stripes across the very end of the sleeves, as well as a black outline around the end of the collar. They also wore purple ties, once Mori noticed Mokou he stood from the couch and handed him his own uniform, neatly folded. "You better go get dressed, Uniforms are mandatory in the school," Mori said with a friendly smile, Mokou nodded and walked back to his bedroom. Once he closed the door, he slipped his shirt off, the tufts of fur from his shoulders springing free, he unbuttoned and unzipped his jeans, letting them fall to the floor. Once his pants were off, he slipped on the dress pants, they felt cool and silky against his fur, and he smiled as he thought they would be uncomfortable, but he guessed he was wrong. After that he slipped his arms through each sleeve of the shirt, his ears having to fold in a bit as he slid it on over his head. Finally he tied the tie around his neck, after adjusting it, he grabbed the schedule he had gotten from the Cincinno in the lobby, and he read it through.
He had eight periods, which went as follows,
English 10
Chemistry
An undecided elective
Civics
This slot had a class for each Quarter:
1st Quarter: Environmental Sciences
2nd Quarter: Library and Research Skills
3rd Quarter: Success 101
4th Quarter: Personal Safety
Lunch
Geometry
And another elective.
Mokou yawned again as he folded the slip in half, length wise, then again width wise, making a small square, he then slipped the piece of paper into his pocket, and walked to his suit case. He undid the clasps locking it, and opened it. Inside were his clothes, some school supplies, as well as a Nintendo DS system, and his laptop. He grabbed a few mechanical pencils from a pack his parents had bought him, a few folders, and then a few notebooks. After retrieving his supplies, he closed the suit case locking it once again. Suddenly the door swung open and Kuro stepped inside, he grinned as he saw Mokou in his uniform, to be honest with himself, Mokou didn't look too bad in the uniform...
"Hey, the first bell's going to ring soon, we might want to get going." He said
"Oh, Sorry, I forgot to sort out my supplies last night," Mokou said scratching behind his head with a free paw "Oh no it's fine! Just don't want you to be late on the first day and everything." Kuro said with a grin.
Mokou nodded and walked out of his bedroom, then Mori, Kuro, and himself all exited the room, Kuro tossed Mokou a small key after the door shut with a click. "It's your room key, obviously you'd need it if we had something after classes end and you want to get into the dorm, or to get into the room late, you know the deal" Kuro said.
"So, what's your schedule?" Mori asked as they walked towards the elevator, Mokou handed Mori his schedule, and mori grinned happily. "Great! You got the same schedule as Kuro and I, it's going to be great, the English teacher is really nice," Mori said,
Being they all had the same classes, Kuro pushed the button that sent them to the third floor, where his class would be, Walking through, Mokou saw many Pokémon, some older than him, some younger. Even a few shinies! And with the uniforms, each one had a defining characteristic, some had longer hair, some were taller, some had a different appearance all together sometimes.
As they reached the English room, room 305 he stepped into the class room, inside all the students except Mokou and Kuro and Mori were there. As the teacher, an older looking Nidoqueen smiled at him. She wore a long skirt and button up shirt, probably what the elderly teachers wore, Mokou thought. "Ahh, the new student! Come to the front of the room please" She said politely, Mokou nodded and walked to the front of the class room, soon another Pokémon joined him in front of the crowd, a young shinx, he wore glasses that had a black frame, and his lenses were rectangle lenses. He almost looked like a girl, Mokou thought, his body was very slim and feminine. As soon as they stood there, and everyone else had taken their seats, the teacher called to the class. "Students! Today, is special, we have two new students joining us! First is Mokou, Mokou tell us about yourself," The Nidoqueen said.
Mokou nodded
"My name, is Mokou Fujiwara, my name comes from a video game, yes my father named me after a video game character. But I am proud of that name, I am named after Fujiwara no Mokou from Touhou Eiyashou, Mokou means "Mourning female phoenix". Fitting to a fire type, she uses fire type attack that could burn anyone to ashes and because great forest fires, and I have tried to emulate this, it's been my dream to compete in battles, luckily this program, has a battling team. I hope to join it. I've been homeschooled until now, so I hope to get along with all of you" Mokou said. The class clapped softly and the teacher clapped as well "A wonderful name, and a good goal, very nice Mokou, now you Haru,"
The shinx blushed softly and seemed to struggle to find the courage to speak
"My name is Haru Koji, my parents sent me here to be able to get into a better college, My name Haru means "Light" and Koji means shining second child, I hope to get along with you all" he finished.
"Very nice now, Mokou, Mori, Kuro, Haru here will actually be your roommate, he arrived just this morning you see, and I know there's an extra bed available." She said
"Yeah, no problem Mrs. McClain." Kuro said as the shinx sat in the desk next to him, and Mokou got the desk directly behind Mori.
The teacher went on to explain where they were in their lesson, it was still early in the year so they were going over enlgish terms, a lot which Mokou knew by heart due to his hobby of writing in his free time. When the bell had rung, the class had gotten a work sheet to finish, it was to prepare for an English definition quiz that would be handed out on Friday. Mrs. McClain bid them all a good day and the class was dismissed. Mokou stood back for a bit with Mori and Kuro as Haru, their new roommate approached them nervously. "I-I'm sorry if I'm making things crowded or anything, there aren't many boys dorms open anymore..."
He said his face red with worry Kuro grinned at the nervous shinx and petted one of his small blue ears
"Hey, no trouble at all, we got another bed, and plenty of room, no trouble at all" He reassured the shinx.
"Yeah, except you'll be sharing a room with Mokou there" Mori said
"Oh! Well I had to share a room with my little brother too! So, I'll be fine!" Haru said happily, his star tipped tail swaying from side to side "Yeah, I won't mind, it'll be fun!" Mokou said as they walked, Kuro and Mori leading Haru and Mokou to their lockers.
(Ok! How was it? I'll take any OCs or requests too! I can't think of a huge lot of characters! This has always been a fantasy of mine, so I'm going to make is as best as I can! Hope you enjoy it and look out for more~~~)
