dragonchild247: This is a completely different YGO fanfic than my 'Dark trilogy.' In fact, it deals with a whole different world (kinda like ours but with a few extra twists). And, if you have a better idea for the title, please PM me. I haven't completely worked out the cinches of this story yet.

Disclaimer: I do not own YGO. I only own the characters I create and show up in this fanfic. I cannot promise that it will be the greatest, but I hope you enjoy it anyway.

Warning: I do not know if this story will need to be changed, due to the fact we are dealing with vampires. Right now, it is rated: T because of vulgar language (don't know how serious though) and possibly blood. If it does, please PM me and I will change it. Plus...I've been in a massive vampire mood. And not 'I'm a Twilight vampire and I sparkle in the sunlight,' but more closer to the original thoughts of vampires. Anyway, enough of me ranting.

Banzai!

Full summary: Atemu was sent out of the afterlife and sent to a world, where there is no such thing as Duel Monsters. But he has a problem...he's half-vampire! All he wants is to become human again and return to the afterlife...all while trying not to listen to the horrible cravings for human blood. But will the desire become overpowering?

Caoimhe Coriander is a talented, intelligent, and ordinary sixteen year old girl. One night, she's alone at home when she hears a knock at the door and answers it. The result is: a handsome boy, who must be a least a year older than she, and he's hurt. Plus, he says his name is Atemu. Now she's trying to keep him a secret from her friends and her family. It isn't until she discovers what he is that she really wants to help him. How will things turn out between them?

PROLOGUE

There was darkness in a large room with a full-length mirror against a wall. The mirror had an image of Atemu going to the afterlife upon it. Two figures moved towards the mirror.

Both figures had maroon eyes filled with mischief. One had a more defined figure—a woman named Discordia—and the other was taller—a man named Loki. "So Pharaoh Atemu has been set free." Said Discordia. "Now our fun can begin."

The image of the Pharaoh disappeared and another image appeared. The image this time was of a sixteen year old girl. She had dark reddish brown hair cascading down her back and ending at her hips. Her eyes were bright blue. She wore a black t-shirt, black jeans, and a small, gold ankh on a silver chain around her neck. Although she was fair skinned, she was beautiful.

"Who is she?" Loki asked. His grin could be heard in his voice.

"Her name is Caoimhe Coriander." Discordia answered. "She is an American. Her world does not have any connection with the Yu-Gi-Oh world. In her world, there is no such thing as Duel Monsters. There is, however, such a thing as vampires in her world, but they are hide amongst humans."

"So do we change Pharaoh Atemu into a vampire?"

Discordia shook her head. "That would destroy the purpose of our fun. No. Change him enough to remain in this girl's world, but not enough to make him a full vampire."

Loki nodded and chanted a spell. He watched the image return to Atemu. He grinned as the Pharaoh was taken from the afterlife and changed—into a half-human half-vampire...

dragonchild247: Short prologue, but I thought I would introduce this first before having Caoimhe Coriander enter. Plus, the facts I have afterwards may not be completely accurate. Some of it is from what I remember or what I have looked up on the Internet. ^^ Please review and I hope you stay tuned for the next chapter of this story.

Mythology facts:

Discordia and Loki are two cosmic troublemakers in this story. In Greek (perhaps Roman) mythology, Discordia is a minor goddess of discord. If memory serves, Discordia leaves the golden apple during the banquet on Mount. Olympus "for the most beautiful goddess." In Norse mythology, Loki is a frost giant. Because of Odin, Loki becomes a god and is considered a god of mischief. Loki is also a shape shifter and can change his appearance whenever he wishes—that includes changing into a female.
