A New World

Chapter 1

Kido Masahiko is a 17-year-old junior at Shiketsu High School in Tokyo, Japan. He is about 6 '0 and has raven black hair that fades into a light blue color his eyes are a dark blue that he gets from his mother. Mashiko is part wolf but hides his tail in his jacket that is made specifically for him, he also has ears but hides them underneath his hood. He refuses to show his tail and ears because, from elementary school into middle school, he was bullied by others who didn't respect wolf hybrids because they weren't raised to. The kids who bullied him for his unique ears and tail were somewhat like him, but they were part fox, cat, dog, etc. One day Kido was walking to his class and he ran into a senior who always bullied him in middle school.

"S-sorry....Toshiaki senpai.." stuttered Kido.

"Watch yourself runt. Next time I won't be so laid back." spat Toshi.

"I-I understand," said Kido, shaking and going to class.

Kido arrived in class and was greeted by his best friend, Yamane Masumi.

"Hey Masa-sama!" she said with a smile.

"Hey Sumi-san," replied Kido with a tiny smile.

"Still hiding your tail and ears huh?" she said with a sigh.

Kido flinched and replied, "Y–yeah.."

"You can't let the past keep you from being yourself! I'm embarrassed to show my ears and tail because I'm a rabbit but I don't let that bother me."

"I guess so.." replied Kido with his ears flattened to his head.

"I find them adorable Masa!" Sumi said, giggling.

Hiko blushed and looked away, "No they aren't..."

Sumi laughed and patted him, "They are to me Hiko-kun."

Kido's tail started wagging after the pat and he noticed, "Gah! Dumb tail!" he tried to stop it from wagging.

Sumi laughs and goes to her seat, "Class is going to start soon."

Kido nodded and went to his seat beside her and he smiled softly.

Ayako sensei walked into class, looking more tired than she normally was. Kido tilted his head but shrugged the feeling away. Sumi got out her notebook and pencil to prepare for class. Mashiko did the same and they both waited for instructions. Ayako called roll and the students said "here" once they heard their name.

"Masahiko-kun?" called sensei

"H–here.." said Kido

Ayako sensei nods and calls, "Masumi-san?"

"Here sensei!" said Masumi with a bright smile

Sensei smiled, "Alright everyone besides Mieko is here, correct?

The class nodded in response to her question.

"Alright then, let's get started. Get your notebooks and pencils out!"

Masumi opened a clean page in her notebook and Kido did the same. Once sensei gave the instructions they all started writing a story about themselves and their life before high school had started. Okimoto Shuji, a guy who had a crush on Kido in middle school, pulled down Masahiko's hood. This alarmed Kido, and he jumped up.

"WHAT THE HELL OKI!" yelled Kido covering his ears with his hands

Shuji laughed, "You still hide your ears and tail Kido senpai?"

The class was looking at Kido, all eyes on him.

"Y–you're a jerk!" said Kido, shaking with a whimper.

"You can't hide it forever Hiko, you'll eventually have to accept who you are," replied Okimoto.

Kido sat back down, pulling his hood back on, and continued writing.

"That was uncalled for Okimoto. Apologize to Masahiko."

"Sorry Hiko senpai," said Okimoto, with his ears flattened to his head.

Kido just shrugged and replied, "It's whatever..." then went back to writing.
