AU! Based off an otome game! Inspiration came from the game "Ephemeral" Please do check it out! Not everything in this chapter is entirely based off the game, only the idea of it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Living in a world with different races isn't so easy. Whether your race is high ranked or not, there's many complications that come with it. You were a zombie; the lowest rank. All the other ranks looked down upon yours and even shunned all the zombies out. Your race lives in a secluded town; far from the other ranks. The thing about zombies is that they only lived for a hundred years.


Once they've reached that mark, their bodies rot away and whats left of them is just their bones. You were a very rare zombie; you were beautiful. Not all zombies were this beautiful, it was a rare case. You were also very smart too, and that gave you an opportunity to attend Ayanagi academy; a special school that many different races go to.


When you started going there, everyone was shocked. They didn't expect a zombie to be smart; yet alone very pretty. All your classmates were shocked and this made you feel uncomfortable. As you stood next to the teacher, all eyes were on you. They started asking questions and you didn't know what to say. That was until the teacher spoke up and you mentally thanked him .


"[Last Name]-san, please go sit over there, by Kuga Shu." He pointed to a purple haired boy, who had bandages wrapped around certain parts of his body. He just sighed, and you bowed and sat next to him. "Hi [Name]-chan! I'm Hoshitani Yuuta, and my race is a werewolf! Nice to meet you!" A orange haired boy smiled at you.


"Ah, hello." You smiled back at him. Kuga was awfully quiet and didn't even glance at you. "Wow, are you really a zombie? You're so pretty!" A blonde haired boy exclaimed. You looked over at him and he instantly apologized. "Oh, I'm sorry! I'm Nayuki Tooru, and my race is the Invisible man!" You tilt your head in confusion. "Invisible man?"


"Oh, I can turn invisible!"


"Hmph, I don't know why you guys are wasting your breath on a mere zombie." A red haired guy snorts and you look at him; bewildered. "Excuse me?"


"Oh don't mind him! He's just an arrogant asshole! His name is Tengenji Kakeru, his rank is a vampire." Hoshitani exclaims and Nayuki nods.


"Tch, mutt."


That causes Hoshitani and Tengenji to fight and then a blue haired boy pushed them away. "Don't mind them. I'm Tsukigami Kaito, my race is a devil." He gives you a small half smile and you smile back. You noticed that Kuga was looking at you.


"What rank are you, Kuga-kun?"


"Mummy." He says and turns his attention to the teacher. 'Hmm, he's so mysterious.'


After a couple of months, you got used to all these different people around you. You learned why Tengenji was so stuck up; his rank was at high status. Vampires were second best rank; and mermaids were number one. However, there was no mermaids in the school, so everyone was at Tengenji's feet.


You learned more about Kuga. He was so mysterious and good looking at that. And the bandages wrapped around certain area? Those certain areas were rotten flesh; so they used the bandages to cover them up. You followed him around a lot, even though he was annoyed by it. Eventually he gave up and became your friend.


That was how your feelings grew for him. You started to like him; even though he was mysterious and confusing at times. That day you were exploring the campus when you heard soft piano playing. Being curious, you followed the sounds into a music room. You peeked in to see Kuga, playing the piano.


You kept listening to the amazing music and began to hum along. Then the music abruptly stopped. You opened your eyes and saw Kuga staring at you. "What are you doing here?" He asked and you blushed. "Oh, I heard the sound and was drawn to it."

He sighed and patted the seat next to him. 


You walked over and sat down next to him, ignoring how close your knees were touching. You watched him play and closed your eyes. Thoughts flashed through your head, it was worrying you. You and Kuga were both low ranked races. Even of he was a mummy; he would live even longer than you. If you both were to get together; would he be lonely after you passed?


When these thoughts filled your head, you felt something warm on your head. He was patting your hair. You blushed and looked away. "You okay..?" He asked and you nod. "I'm fine, you are really good at playing piano."


He smiled and looked at the keys of the piano. "Does anyone know that you play here?" You asked and he shook his head.


"No, no one does."


You look around the room, there are portraits filled with mermaids. "Why are there so many?"


"Back when there were mermaid students, they would always come to sing. They're the worlds most beautiful creatures, of course they would get the best treatment."


"You are right."


You stood up and walked near the pictures to get a better view. "They're pretty; beautiful even." You then felt Kuga wrap his arms around you. "But not as beautiful as you." You gasped and turned around and you saw his bangs covering his left eyes. He looked at you with a seductive stare.


"K-Kuga...."


"Don't tell anyone about this, okay? It'll be our little secret." He smirks and you nod, obviously breathless.


Can this man get any more mysterious?
