A small black mini van swerved as is drove down the highway at a much faster speed than it should have been. The van was headed towards the edge of Kyoto, where the family inside would be soon be moving to. The car suddenly lurched to the side as it made a sharp turn, waking the two passengers in the back seat. One of the passengers was Yoh Asakura, his parents were the ones driving, and the other was Horokeu Usui, nicknamed Horohoro, a friend of Yoh's.
Horohoro and Yoh were very good friends and both happened to be going to the same school. Horohoro's parents had to stay in Hokkaido for reasons that only the Ainus and the Asakuras knew about. During the school year, Horohoro would be staying with Yoh and his family, it was arranged by their parents and neither of them had any complaints.
After looking around and realizing where he was and why they were in the car, Yoh attempted to resume his nap. Horohoro started talking about what to do once they arrived at the knew house while he began to doze off. Noticing that Yoh wasn't really paying attention to the conversation and not wanting him to fall asleep again, Horohoro changed the subject to a more interesting matter.
"Hey, Yoh. Did you hear about the rumors about where we're living?" Horohoro asked with a big grin.
"It's Kyoto, what's there to tell?" Yoh asked groggily.
"Well, on the edge of Kyoto, where we'll be staying, it's said that people have been going missing." Horohoro said, successfully snapping Yoh back to awareness.
"Missing?" Yoh asked, confused yet wanting him to continue.
"That's right. They say that every so often someone goes missing but that's not what's strange. What's strange is that it only happens in the evening/night and that even if someone is found, they're ether dead or cant remember anything that happened while they were gone." Horohoro replied, barely managing to stay in his seat as the car lurched to a stop.
"We're here." Keiko announced cheerfully.
"Come on boys, lets check out the knew house." Mikihisa said while following his wife inside.
It was a traditional style Japanese house with two floors and seven rooms in all. When you first walked into the house you would be entering the living room, which had a television at the northern wall and a few tatami mats spread out across the floor. On the left was dining room, which was relatively empty except for the single table in the middle of the room. On the right was the kitchen which had a modern stove and fridge but a traditional style counter top. A little to the left of the TV in the living room was the door to the hallway.
In the hallway were the doors to the two bedrooms. The bathroom was in the middle of the hall and was placed between the two bedrooms but not too far from the stairs at the far end of the hall, which led to the attic. Mikihisa and Keiko decided to have the room on the left and surprisingly Yoh asked for the attic, so Horohoro got the room on the right.
After getting ready to got to sleep, Horohoro told Yoh a scary story about ghost spiders who were said to haunt the attics in the area. The story ended with the spiders kidnapping someone for their master, the blood stalker, to feed on. Horohoro told Yoh the story knowing full well how terrified of spiders he was. Although, Yoh didn't seem to be bothered by the story, after all, it was just something Horohoro made up to scare him. After the story was over and Horohoro had returned to his room, Yoh walked over to the small window to his right.
Yoh looked out the window and decided to gaze at the stars for a while. By the sound of snoring that could be heard from downstairs, it wasn't hard to guess that everyone else was already asleep. He figured that he might as well go to sleep too and was about to close his window when he saw a strange figure standing in the middle of the street, shadowed by the single light post. When he looked a little closer, he saw that their were actually two of them, but his breath caught in his throat when he noticed one alarming fact, both figures were covered in blood.
Yoh rubbed his eyes and quickly looked again, but the strange figures were gone. 'Heh heh, looks like Horohoro's story scared me more than I thought.' Yoh thought nervously, closing the window before quickly heading to bed. Meanwhile, the strange figures watched the young Asakura from a distance. The first figure watched silently as the boy closed the curtains to go to bed.
"Looks like there are two new kids moving in, we were only expecting one." The second one said, turning to face the first.
"No matter. It will be much more amusing this way." The first one said with a smirk.
"They didn't look like they were related, but it will still be harder with two of them." The second one snapped.
"The harder it is the more entertaining it will be. Besides, it's not like you're going after both of them." The first said, crossing his arms in defiance.
"But if one of them disappears the whole family will panic." The second one growled.
"Not necessarily. You chose the blue haired one, if you take simply him then you wont have to worry about anything." The first replied simply.
"But if I take mine first then what will you do?" The second asked suspiciously.
"You've known me for a long time, you should know by now that I don't have a problem with waiting for something I want." The first one said calmly.
"Fine with me then." The second said, disappearing into the shadows.
The first one glanced back at the attic once more before fading into the night as well, the predatory look in his eyes made them appear glow in the night.

Yoh woke up early the next morning, much to his displeasure, and got ready to go to school. Today was their first day of school and it would be bad if they were late. Horohoro quickly ate breakfast and ran out the front door in a rush to get to school with Yoh walking behind him. Yoh lost sight of of his friend after taking a wrong turn, only then did he realize that he too was lost.
Yoh looked around for any sign of home or school but all that he could see was a buss stop a little further ahead. Not knowing what else to do, he walked over to the bus stop and waited for someone to come around. Soon, a purple haired guy walked up to him. Noticing that he was obviously lost, the guy listened to his story and told him which way the school was before walking in that direction.
The guy looked about his age, so Yoh walked with him to the school. As he arrived and began walking through the halls, one of the teachers asked to speak with him. He followed the teacher to his office and sat down in a nearby chair. Before he could ask if he had done something wrong the teacher introduced himself.
"Hello. I am Silva Douji, your principal. I can guess what you might be thinking and no you are not in trouble or anything. I just prefer to meet all of my new students and welcome them to the school." Principal Silva informed.
"Ok." Yoh said simply.
"Here is your class schedule. You should probably hurry to class now, if you don't you'll be late." Principal Silva said while opening the door for Yoh.
Yoh thanked the principal and quickly left the office. He got lost in the hallways a few times but eventually he found the classroom. He managed to arrive just as the teacher finished explaining to the class that they would be having a new student. The teacher introduced herself as Mrs Shika before looking around the class for an empty desk for him. After scanning the room for any vacancies she noticed an empty desk next to one of her more troubling students. Unfortunately it was the only empty desk so she didn't really have much of a choice but to put Yoh there.
"Well I think I'll have you sit next to Ren. Ren, please raise your hand or your tongari to show Yoh where you are." Mrs Shika asked sweetly.
"It's just my hair!" Ren snapped, his tongari not helping his point by growing another two inches.
Yoh had to resist the urge to laugh as he walked over to the seat next to Ren. Recognizing him as the purple haired kid that showed him how to get to school, he passed a note of thanks over to him. Mrs Shika ignored the note since it was his first day and began teaching the class as though she hadn't noticed it. Yoh was surprised to find that Mrs Shika's class was actually interesting, so he decided not to sleep through it for once.
He was never particularly fond of Foreign Languages, but Mrs Shika actually made the class pretty fun. The lunch bell rang after what seemed like no time at all. All of the other students quickly rushed out of the room so that he and Ren were the only ones left. He figured that it would probably be better for him to ignore the question that had been bugging him. Unfortunately his curiosity out-ruled his sense of reason this time.
"Hey Ren?" Yoh asked, trying to sound casual.
"What?" Ren replied.
"Your tongari, is it alive?" Yoh asked curiously.
*Snap* That was the sound of Ren's last strand of patience. Ren slowly reached into his bag and pulled out a full sized kwan-dao. Yoh swallowed nervously, seeing as how he had obviously pissed-off his purple haired friend and the fact that Mrs Shika was holding up a note that said 'run' wasn't helping. He took a step back as Ren pointed the kwan-dao directly at him.
"Kisama..."
