Okay. I got this idea actually from Tokyo Ghoul. I'll post what ideas are adapted from there into here at the bottom!

I licked the blood off my fangs, and stood up.

Another vile person, gone from this world. I had been hunting him for days. I've watched him brutally harm his beautiful wife, drink himself silly and then pass out anywhere he liked, and he even sold underage teens alcohol. It had all made my skin crawl.

"Ugh. Even his blood had trace amounts of alcohol in it," I muttered, wiping my mouth. I jumped up to the top of a building, and started running. If I didn't get out of there, a human would notify the hunters, and my life would be as good as done. I ran until I got to my apartment building, and jumped down. I looked at my phone.

"Shiiiiit," I groaned, going inside. Well, no going to bed now, I guess. It was nearly two in the morning. That damn fool had me looking all over Domino for him. I hadn't even realized how late it was getting. Luckily, though, I could actually go a few days without sleep. Quietly, I made my way to my floor, and to my apartment, going inside. I stripped off my clothing, stepped into the bathroom, and got in the shower, to wash away any blood that I might've gotten on myself.

Even though I was a vampire, I blended in like a normal human teen going to high school. It helped that I had been changed thousands of years ago when I was only 18 myself. Now, I was 18 plus about 7,000 years. I just was getting out of the shower when my phone's annoying rigtone went off. I made a mental note to change it later. I looked at the caller I.D, rolled my eyes, and answered.

"Talk to me," I said.

"You get him, yet?" My friend, Xanthe, asked.

"Yep. Asshole decided to go to the most remote bar in town. Took me a good two hours to find him," I sighed, starting to dry my hair.

"So, no sleep tonight?" she asked.

"Nope. Luckily, I've gotten everything done. Just took a shower, so, once I'm done talking with you, I've got to go wash some clothes," I said, sitting on my bed.

"Really? You've got to learn to be cleaner when you feed. We've been doing this for seven thousand years, now," Xanthe sighed. Xanthe and I had been really close friends, even before we were changed. I was an Egyptian Prince, and she was studying to become an advisor like my cousin, Seth.

Of course, we all knew vampires existed, but no one would dare attack anyone in the palace, right?

Wrong.

It had been the night of my 18th birthday when we were attacked.

Vampires poured in from every entrance. It was a complete ambush. Of those they didn't immediately drain, they kidnapped. Seth, Xanthe, and I were among those kidnapped. My father was spared, but my mother, uncle, and many others were not.

In their cave, the ones who were kidnapped were separated. On one side, those people were changed. The other? You were food for the newborns. My cousin, Xanthe, me, and a few others I knew were fortunate enough to be changed.

The first person I ever drained was one of my best friends. Her name was Mana, and she had only smiled at me the entire time. Xanthe's first was Mana's teacher, Mahaad. Another good friend. But, Seth had it worse.

He had been forced to drain his lover, Jono. I had seen the utter heartbreak in both of their eyes before Seto did it.

I didn't see Seth for a long time after that. Only recently have I seen him, again. He changed his name, not by much, but now he goes by Seto. And, the best thing has happened to him. Jono had been reincarnated into a boy named Jounouchi Katsuya. Seto couldn't've been happier, so, I've mostly left them alone. They have years upon years to catch up with each other.

"I know, I know," I sighed, pulling on a black tank top, and tugging on a pair of boxers.

"So. It's been a long time since either of us have heard from you-"

"Actually, I just saw him a few months ago. But, I saw we give them their space," I said.

"Them? Their?" Xanthe asked. I chuckled.

"He found him again. Reincarnated. I would say they have a lot of catching up to do," I chuckled.

"Aw, how cute," Xanthe giggled. I put on a pair of shorts and grabbed my month's worth of bloody clothes. Grabbing my laundry items, I headed down to the washing machines and dryers quietly, talking with Xanthe the entire time.

I sat back in my seat, turning the page in my book. Class hadn't started yet, so, I was catching up on my reading.

"Hey, Até. Look. A new student," Xanthe whispered. I looked up and almost dropped my book.

The new student looked almost identical to me, save for a few details. Instead of my tanned, Egyptian skin, his skin was a soft pale. His eyes were like deep amethysts, compared to my crimson ones. And to top it all off…

He was cute as hell.

The bell rang, and I unconsciously marked my book and put it away. The cute newbie went to the front of the classroom silently, and the teacher went to his side.

"Everyone, I'd like to introduce you to Yami Sennen. He just moved here America. Yami, would you like to tell the class a bit about yourself?" the teacher asked.

"Um, sure. My name's Yami Sennen, and I moved here to live with my grandfather. He runs a game shop here in Domino. I'm really into gaming and into Ancient Egypt. I hope to get to you all better," he smiled.

Ah! That voice of his! If my heart was still beating, I'm sure it would be attempting to burst out of my chest by now. And he loved Ancient Egypt?! Boy, did I have a story for him!

"Hm, it looks like there's a free seat next to Atem, in the back," the teacher said. I gulped softly. He was going to sit next to me?!

"Someone's in looooove," Xanthe singsonged softly.

"Sh-Shut up," I mumbled. I'd be blushing madly if I still had blood pumping throughout my body. Yami made his way to the seat, and sat down.

"H-Hello there. My name's Atem. Atem Amun," I said, sticking my hand out, and mentally cursing myself for stuttering!. But, Yami brushed it off as if it hadn't happened, and took my hand, shaking it.

"Nice to meet you. Um, question. Would you mind telling me where my next class is? Here's my schedule," Yami said, taking out the piece of paper. I scanned his schedule. My eyes widened slightly.

"You...you have the schedule as I do," I said.

"I...I do? That...That's great," Yami smiled, putting away the paper, "so, I'll just follow you after class?"

"Sure. I don't mind," I smiled, being careful to keep my mouth shut to hide my fangs. I didn't want to scare him away already!

"So, about you liking Ancient Egypt, I have to ask you. What's your favorite part of it?" I asked.

"Oh, that's easy. It happened about seven thousand years ago, when killers came into the palace, and killed some and kidnapped many others. Of those kidnapped, one of them was the Pharaoh's son. No one really knows what happened to the prince or the others who were kidnapped, as they never returned," Yami said.

Killers.

Ha.

So that's what they called them in the books.

Not vampires. Killers.

Ha.

"That's my favorite part, too," I lied.

"You like ancient Egypt?" Yami asked. I nodded.

"That's awesome," Yami smiled. After that, I tuned in and out of the lesson, but, near the end, I leaned towards Xanthe.

"I told you," I muttered.

"Told me what?" Xanthe whispered.

"That we should've gone back to my father, and told him what really happened. My father passed from grief not long after we were kidnapped," I hissed.

"If we went back, he would've seen us as vampires, and cast us away," Xanthe whispered, rolling her eyes.

"We still should've, so I could'veshowed him that I was...technically...alive," I whispered awkwardly. Xanthe rolled her eyes again, and sighed into a smile.

The rest of the day, I showed Yami around the school, and stuck to his side closely.

There are more vampires trying to hide in this school besides Xanthe and I, if you'd believe it.

"Want me to walk you home? Or, can you get there fine?" I asked after the final bell had rung, once again thanking the Gods I couldn't blush.

"Um, sure. My grandfather would be happy to see that I made a friend on my first day," Yami smiled. I nodded, and took my black umbrella out of my bag. Xanthe and I may have high tolerance of sun, having originated from Egypt, but, it still made us highly uncomfortable.

"Oh. Is it supposed to rain?" Yami asked.

"Nah. I just have...sensitive skin. The sun makes me uncomfortable if I'm in it long enough," I explained. Yami nodded, and we went outside. I put up my umbrella, and we started walking. As we walked, my phone buzzed. I took it out, and saw that Xanthe had sent me a text.

Atem. Got another one for ya. Will give details later. Promise.

Another one? Already? I sighed softly, and slid my phone back into my pocket.

"Something wrong?" Yami asked.

"Oh. No, it's fine," I smiled. Yami smiled, and walked a bit closer to me. After a while, we walked up to the Kame Game Shop, and walked in. I put my umbrella down.

"Grandpa! I'm home from school!" An old man walked into the shop from the back room, and smiled at us.

"Ah, Yami! How was your first day?" he asked.

"Amazing. I made a friend already. His name's Atem, and he really likes ancient Egypt, just like us," he smiled. Yami's grandfather walked over to me.

'Um, it's nice to meet you, sir," I said quickly. He laughed.

"Now, now. No need to call me 'sir'. My name is Solomon Sennen. I'd like to thank you for befriending my grandson on his first day," Solomon said.

"I really enjoyed meeting him. I hope Yami and I stay friends for a long time," I said, smiling happily.

"So. Wanna tell me what your deal is?" I asked, backing the man into the alleyway. Xanthe sat atop one of the buildings on one side, and we had surprisingly convinced Seto to come along for backup. This guy was really dangerous, from the reports our sources gave us, so he was sitting on another building, opposite of Xanthe. Besides, once we gave Seto the name, he had said he wanted to come along, saying it was personal for him.

"What ever do you mean?" the man smiled innocently. I sighed. These guys never made it easy for me.

"Let's see here. Our sources say this about you. Drunkard. Barely sober. Abused son. Wife left you, and took your younger daughter with her. Gambled all your money away. Still have outstanding debts to pay. Shall I go on?" I asked. The man growled, and ran at me. In an instant, Seto and Xanthe had him pinned on the ground.

"Hey, Seto. What do you say to taking this one? I've got some substitutes at home," I said.

"With pleasure," Seto growled into a smirk.

Tokyo Ghoul #1: Blending into humans. In TG, the ghouls look like normal humans, and try to blend into society

Tokyo Ghoul #2: Blood substitues. Remember the stuff the manager gave Kaneki? He said to put it into the coffee, and it'd fight off the hunger pangs for a while, because Kaneki refused to kill, so he had to resort to something else.

Tokyo Ghoul #3: Vampires killing only the least-innocent people. Remember the investigators who were out to kill all the ghouls? That's what brought about Atem's "career". Don't worry. His sources (will explain later about them) pay him by giving him a supply of substitutes, paying his apartment rent, his school, and anything he may need.

Also. Up to you guys, on this one. I want you guys to be more involved on this story, to help me make some decisions.

So. Question(s) of the Chapter: Should Jou be changed by Seto? Also, should Jou have some memories from Jono, as in, remembering his love for Seto, always staying near him, being REALLY OOC OUT OF PUBLIC EYE, and should he remember how Jono died? And forgive Seto?

Also. the "sources"? MORE SHAMELESS REFERENCING IN MY STORIES TO COME! YAY XD

Also, PLEASE DO NOT SPOIL TG FOR ME! I JUST STARTED SEASON 2 A FEW DAYS AGO, AND KANEKI REALLY PISSED ME OFF, OKAY?!

*Small spoiler here*

WHY THE FLYING FUCK WOULD YOU JOIN AOGIRI?!

"I'm not coming back to Anteiku. I'm joining Aogiri."

FUCK YOU, KANEKI! WHY NOT JUST THROW MY FEELING INTO A BLENDER, WHY DON'TCHA?!

Also, question. WHAT. HAPPENS. TO. HIDE? I was watching a video earlier by akidearest (Love her channel!) about things you most likely didn't know about Tokyo Ghoul. What. Happens. To. My. Hide?
