Hello, everyone! I have a new fanfiction started! Tada!

Antonio: Wow, she's hyper.

Nicholas: You're telling me.

Sakura: She's really gotten into a show called Grimm.

That's where I got this idea. Jaden's going to be a Reaper and I'm going to make Koyo his father. Along with a few other things. Without further adue, Rose, do the disclaimer!

Rose: Wolf doesn't own Yu-Gi-Oh GX or any elements from Grimm. The idea for the story is hers though, along with any OC's.

Now, on with the story! Enjoy~!

Chapter 1: A New Place and the First Death

Dream Sequence

Terror. That was the only feeling racing through the young brunette boy as he ran for his life through a forest he was unfamiliar with. This wasn't the first time he had this nightmare, but there was something different about this one.

In this one their was a fierce storm, the wind was raging at hurricane force speeds and the rain was freezing, cutting through the clothes the boy was wearing like ice bullets. Thunder and lightning were crashing and flashing all around, like the storm was also trying to make him blind and deaf.

For some reason though, the boy felt like the storm was trying to help him. The wind, rain, and thunder were slowing down his chaser while the lightning was illuminating the trail, showing him which way to go.

But the brunette didn't even notice it, his fear keeping him focused on getting away from whatever was chasing him. He didn't who he was, but he knew that if it caught him, he wouldn't live to see the sun again.

Soon he came to the edge of a clearing, where his body finally gave out and he fell to his knees, panting for breath. The adrenaline was leaving him, causing him to become aware of the muscle pain from running so long. Dirt was under his nails from the times he tripped and scrambled to his feet, grass stains and mud covered his clothes, and he felt something wet on his ankle, most likely a bleeding cut from where he had run through the bramble.

Even though he felt tired and weak, he knew he couldn't stay there. Before he could move though, he felt a chill go along his neck. He felt eyes on him, eyes that knew he was tired.

He knew he was trapped, but he knew he had to run, it was the only way to escape. He rose to his feet, ready to move again, but it was too late. The creature had found him, its red eyes pinned on him with a triumphant light.

With animal like speed, it struck…

Back to reality

Our brunette woke with a startled gasp.

"Are you okay?" asked a voice from in front of him.

Once his senses got themselves organized, our hero remembered where he was. He was in the back of a taxi heading towards Kaiba Academy, a fine arts school that his mom enrolled him in.

He looked down at himself. He was wearing a red vest with black angel wings on the back over a white t-shirt that had a rainbow colored Wiccan pentagram on the front, black jeans, and white sneakers with red accents.

Contrary to the nightmare he had, his clothes were spotless. His nails were clean and when he rolled up his pant leg, there was no cut or blood. He looked at the window and saw it was a bright, sunny morning in late summer. He sighed, leaning back against the seat. He ran his fingers through his short, two-tone brown hair, his matching brown eyes closed in relief.

"Sorry about that. I've been having nightmares lately." He explained.

The cab driver just hummed in acknowledgement. "By the way, I never got your name last night when I got ya."

"Jaden. Jaden Yuki." The teen, now known as Jaden answered, opening his eyes again.

Sleep wasn't a good idea after that nightmare, so he decided to do a little reading. He dug into the black and red bag beside him and pulled out a book called "Moonlight" by Koyo Hibiki, his favorite author. He had read the story twelve times before, and it never got old. He especially loved how the author added in homosexual couples and characters to the main group of characters like it was no big deal.

"We'll be at Kaiba Academy within the hour." The cab driver mentioned, glancing in the rearview mirror at the passenger.

When Jaden looked up, he thought he saw the driver morph into some kind of zombie-like creature. But when he blinked and looked again, everything seemed normal. So, he went back to his book.

What he failed to see was the slight fear in the driver's eyes. He also failed to notice that the driver send out a text.

At one the dorms at said school

Kaiba Academy was converted from a prime country estate that sat just outside of Domino City. The land was easily 120 acres, the edges of property being marked by forest. There were six different buildings on the property, while the rest of it was like one big, private park. All the buildings were connected by paved walkways around the grounds that eventually converge into the main driveway that leads to the main road. Everywhere else on the grounds was also a hangout for the students.

The main house was the largest, with multiple windows and arches, designed in a British Gothic style. Inside were the classrooms, a large meal hall, an auditorium for announcements and guest speakers, and a school store where kids can buy supplies and pick up deliveries and mail from home. The west wing of the building was private, since that was where the owner of the school stayed with his family. This had been part of an agreement for allowing the estate to become a school. There was also a chapel inside which was used by the more religious of students.

The other five buildings weren't as big as the main house, but they were just as equally impressive. Two of the buildings were dorms, one was for the boys and the other was for the girls. The dorms had their own cafeterias, but everyone was required to have dinner in the main meal hall. They also had lounges for the kids to socialize in.

The third building was where the art students met, like the art club, drama club, choir, etc. There was a theater and showcase room for art displays inside.

The fourth one was for the academic clubs, like science, math, and philosophy.

The final one was an athletic center where the teams meet to practice. Behind that building were a soccer field, a baseball diamond, and a football field, and a weight room, basketball court, and swimming pool.

As you can well imagine by the size of the school, this a prestigious learning place. All the students here are either really smart, really athletic, really talented, or their parents are either really rich or famous.

It was still pretty early in the morning so not many students were walking about. Many were still asleep, but the early risers were up and about, and the subject of conversation was the rumors of a new kid arriving that day.

Walking out of the girls' dorm was an 18 year old senior with long blond hair, blue eyes and creamy skin, wearing a red hoodie, purple running pants, and white running shoes. Her name was Ruby Scott and she was one of the kids who got in by athletics. If you haven't guessed in what by now, it's cross country. She was one of those people who would get up and the crack of dawn and run about five miles, which is exactly what she was going to do.

After a few stretches and putting in her headphones, she took off down the sidewalk to the main road. From there she jogged into town, turned into a park, and headed down one of the park trails.

As she headed farther down the path, something caught her eye under a fallen tree branch. She came to a stop and went to get a closer look. She saw a small porcelain figure that looked like Little Red Riding Hood lying just under the log among the green and brown of the woods.

She had a loud song playing on her iPod, and that was her undoing. If she hadn't had it on she would have heard the footsteps rushing toward her. But she didn't and in the next moment, a loud scream was heard throughout the park.

Elsewhere in the city

Meanwhile, in downtown Domino City, a young man with short brown hair and brown eyes with rimless glasses was seen walking out of a McDonald's with an order bag in one hand and a coffee in the other. He was wearing a black blazer over a red shirt, blue jeans, and sneakers. Say hello to Koyo Hibiki, a detective and behavioral analyst for the police department in Domino.

He was also supposed to be off caffeine for a while, which is why when he looked and saw a camera phone pointed at him, he groaned. "I'm beginning to think that you're stalking me. Did mom put you up to this?"

The person behind the phone was a young woman with long black hair and matching brown eyes to Koyo's. The only difference was that she was wearing the female teacher's uniform for Kaiba Academy. Her name was Midori Hibiki, who was an English teacher at said school and Koyo's older sister.

She laughed at her brother's accusation. "No, I'm just following the orders of your doctor and making sure you stick to the caffeine detox you're supposed to be on."

"Force of habit." With his job being heavy on his hours as well as spending every spare minute he has writing, no surprise he thrives on caffeine. "Anyway, don't you have a class to teach?"

"School doesn't start for a few hours." Midori replied.

Koyo was going to say something when his phone rang. Looking at the caller id saw that it was from the department.

"Detective Hibiki." Koyo said into his phone. "Where? Okay I'm on my way."

He hung up and turned to his sister. "I have a case, I've got to go."

He hoped in his car, a black Mercedes S55 AMG, and headed to the crime scene.

Midori smiled as he drove off. "Go get'em little bro!"

The Crime Scene

Koyo made his way along the park trail to where the attack had taken place. When he got there, he was glad to see that the yellow tape was already up and the crime scene people were already looking for evidence.

He was met by a young male with short black hair and red eyes wearing a black t-shirt, black vest, black jeans, and black boots. His name was Juan Patterson, a newbie detective on the force and Koyo's partner.

"Hey," Koyo greeted. "What's the story?"

"All I say is brace yourself," Juan said solemnly. "It's not a pretty picture."

They headed over to the sight and Koyo got what his partner meant. The scene was quite gruesome.

"The rest of her is over there." Koyo glanced in the direction Juan pointed and walked over to get a better look. While the scene was sickening, Koyo swallowed the nausea to do his job.

"What's the vic's name?" The detective asked, trying to focus on the case.

"Had a student ID on her." His partner said, walking up to show it to him.

He looked at the ID and recognized the school logo as the one of the school where his sister worked. Juan was following that same line of thought. "Her name's Ruby Scott, a senior and one of the school's athlete stars. Cross country. Parents live out in Nevada, we'll get someone to notify them."

He looked around to see if anyone was listening, then leaned closer before speaking again. "I don't think the perp was… normal if you get my meaning." Koyo nodded in agreement.

You see, in this world, there are creatures known as Wesen, theriomorphic humans with certain traits and abilities characteristic in animals or mythological creatures. The non-human traits and abilities appear when Wesen are aggressive or otherwise emotionally agitated, referred to as surging. Some surge forms are more noticeable than others, some just show longer teeth or slited eyes, others full on transformations.

Normal people can see only the human appearance, not the surged appearance of Wesen, although at times Wesen can allow themselves to be seen, which is the source of legends and stories passed down as fairy tales by The Brothers Grimm, of whom Koyo and Midori are descended from. They are what are known in the Wesen community as Reapers, people who kill Wesen, mostly when they attack innocent people. Koyo was the one who did the Reaper gig most of the time, Midori, while just as lethal of a Reaper as Koyo, chose a more quiet life.

"I think you're right," The detective agreed. Looking back over the scene, he turned back to his partner. "Think you can… pick up a trail?"

Juan smirked, and after doing a look around to see if they were being watched, his skin appeared to ripple and turn to black fur and his face turned dog-like. "I'll see what I can do." He said before turning back.

Oh yeah, Juan was a Wesen himself. His species is called Hundjager, hound like creatures with a talent for tracking. While most of his kind become hit men or bounty hunters, Juan broke away from that tradition and decided to use his skill to help people as a cop. Like all Wesen he had been suspicious of Koyo at first, since he was a Reaper, but they soon started getting along.

Koyo nodded and headed back out of the crime scene before Juan spoke up again. "By the way, I called the school to ask about her, and the receptionist mentioned that they were getting a new student today, an out of towner. Coincidence?"

Koyo stopped and thought for a moment before shaking his head. "Probably just a coincidence, but I'll ask my sister about it when I see her."

Juan nodded and went to do a double look of the crime scene. Koyo headed to his car to get to the school.

Kaiba Academy, Midori's office

Midori had gotten back to the school and went to her office to get some things ready before classes start. She also wanted to look at the new student's file to see where he would place in the school. She sat down at her desk and opened the boy's file.

He seemed like a nice boy, and according to the file was going to be one of the school's new music kids. However, what caught her eye was his last name. Yuki. That last name rung a bell with her.

On a hunch, she looked down at the emergency contacts to see if any family was listed. There was only one name. Jessica Yuki. Her occupation was listed as market management.

Midori stared at the words, but she wasn't reading them. Her mind was elsewhere, on a beach in summer a decade and a half ago. Back when she and her brother were still in college, still young, wild, and free. Now she's wondering if those past summer nights have come back to haunt them.

Well, that's that

Zach: That was certainly a big cliffhanger.

Yeah, yeah it was. It's to make people tune in next time. Anyway, read and review, and if you think this should be bumped up to M rated because of the implied graphicness, let me know. Stay tuned and happy holidays!
