Hey! Thanks so much for all of the reviews everyone! I seriously didn't expect that many. Thanks so much!! I'll reply to you all individually right here. Lol, the response will probably be longer then the chapter itself. XD Yeah... sorry, this chapter is kinda short. The next one is longer though. :)
Dreamweaver: Thanks for the review! :) Yep, this story is AU. Go isn't gonna play a huge role in it. I'm thinking that Sai is gonna be the headmaster, and I'll probably only really mention it through him cause he's always playing Go in his office. But asides from that, there's not really gonna be any Go.
serenamoonrose: Thanks! So far from what I've written in the rough chapters, the AkiHika is only one-sided. I'm still not sure if I'll have that change later on, but overall, the main pairing is MitaniXHikaru.
Sara Blake: Heehe, thank you! Hopefully I don't disappoint. :)
Akon-Dikaios: Thanks! MitaniXHikaru is one of my favourite pairings. XP I haven't been able to find any other fanfics for them, so I made this one. That's why I made Mitani his partner. Haha, yeah: deep down Mitani is a big softy. As for bringing other characters into it, I already made Kishimoto appear in one of the further chapters. I never really thought about making him mess with Mitani. I don't really have any big ideas for him yet. So I guess we'll see how it goes. Haha, it's like the characters control themselves. I just kinda write, and it turns out how it turns out. xD I leave it up to how I think the characters would react. Oh, and yep: I have a few plans for Mitani's sister. She won't be in it right away, but she's definitely gonna be in it. Thanks so much for the review and for the suggestions!! I hope you keep enjoying my story! :)
Pantalaimon Heart: Haha, hi my Hikaru/Isumi! xD Wow, they censored a lot of what you said. You're so inappropriate. XP I can't hang around you anymore. Haha, that would have been funny if Hikaru had said that to the guy who ran into him. xD He can be really moody, so I guess it wouldn't have been surprising. Hehe, you know I love your little story edits. xD Especially the one about how Mitani wouldn't give him any other options. xD And whether that whole story about Mitani is true or not, I won't ever tell. You'll have to wait and see. ;P As for how they'll get along, you get to find out in this chapter. =D
Mel's Merleawe: Thanks! Heehee, nothing better then starting a story off with an interesting first chapter, no? Thanks again, and I hope you continue to enjoy the story!
R: Oh my god, thanks so much!! You seriously flattered me with all of your kind words. :3 Heehee, and that's okay. What you said was update-worthy enough for me. I hope you enjoy this chapter and everything that comes after it!

Chapter two: Mitani's rules
"You're such a puss-cake," the redheaded vampire chuckled as his hand stroked Kimihiro's face.
Kimihiro forced his eyes shut, waiting for the sting of fangs to pierce his flesh. "I have sensitive skin!" Kimihiro cried out in his defense. Though he was a partner to a vampire by choice, Kimihiro couldn't stand any form of pain. He just couldn't tolerate it. "C'mon, Kaga. Quit teasing me and get this over with. Are you gonna bite me or not?"
Kaga Tetsuo snickered as his lips hovered over the 'sensitive' skin of Kimihiro's neck. Kimihiro could feel his partner's breath against his throat, which made him shudder. "Kaga-sempai!"
The redhead withdrew, laughing, "I was only teasing. I wasn't gonna bite you. Sorry… I didn't mean to scare you." Kaga felt both guilty and amused by Kimihiro's fidgeting. With half a smile, Kaga rested his chin against Kimihiro's shoulder, "You do smell good and I'm seriously tempted, but I'm sorry, okay?"
Kimihiro pushed his glasses up onto his face further, "I didn't find it very funny…"
Kaga rolled his eyes. "C'mon. I said that I was sorry. It's just…" he smirked, "You're so gullible." After a pause, Kaga continued. "Don't worry, I'm not all that thirsty anyway. This'll do just fine." The tall redhead fished through his pocket and withdrew with a pack of cigarettes and a lighter.
Kaga was the only vampire who Kimihiro knew that smoked. Kimihiro thought that blood was the only thing that truly satisfied them. But that didn't seem to be the case.
"Hey, remember that you're not the only one in this room," Kimihiro said as Kaga lit his cigarette, "I'm here too."
Ignoring the other's complaints, Kaga took a puff of his cigarette before he asked in a serious tone, "So you were talking about some new kid?"
To Kaga, quite a few people were new. Though most of the vampires, including himself, had been there for a while. It had been where he'd gone to school his entire life. Kimihiro had always acted as his partner whenever he could, but hadn't been able to enroll until that year. Before recently, Kimihiro hadn't been old enough to be able to. The humans at the school needed to be sixteen or older, at least.
Kimihiro nodded frantically, "Yeah! His name is Hikaru Shindou. He seems really nice. I talked with him a lot in our 'defense against vampires' class. According to him, he was assigned a vampire. He never came here with one."
"That's odd. Does he even know the vampire who he's assigned to? Did he have so many vampire friends that he couldn't choose between them, and so had the school assign him one instead?" Kaga asked, lowering his cigarette from his mouth.
"He came here without knowing anyone: anyone at all. It's weird…" he furrowed his eyebrows worriedly, "But that's not my point. The worst part about all of this is that his partner is Yuki Mitani. You told me at some point that Mitani-sempai murdered the last partner that he had. I'm… scared for Hikaru. Could you help me look out for him?"
Kaga tilted his head to the side questionably, "By keeping an eye on Mitani?"
"Yeah."
Kaga exhaled deeply. "I don't see why not…" he smirked, "But… you can't make it sound like I'm doing something awful by feeding from you. Deal?"
A shiver running down his spine at the thought of Kaga sinking his teeth into him, Kimihiro managed to nod, "Yeah… Okay."
Kaga approached the black haired boy with a thoughtful gaze, "Don't worry. I'll be as gentle as a vampire can be." He slipped a hand around Kimihiro's slim waist, pulling him closer.
Kimihiro peered up into Kaga's red eyes nervously. He didn't like the discomfort that feeding caused, but at the same time, Kimihiro was glad to be able to keep his friend alive and healthy.
As Kaga's sharp teeth penetrated the tender skin of his throat, Kimihiro couldn't help but tense up in the redhead's hold. 'I'll be fine,' Kimihiro told himself as he felt the sensation of Kaga's hot and moist tongue lapping up the blood that came from the small wound on his neck. Once the blood flow died, Kaga bit at the wound in order to draw some more.
'His fangs…' Kimihiro felt them dig into him. They felt like the sting that came from the prick of a needle. He tried to block out the feeling by going back to one of his classes: Vampire nourishment. They taught the humans about the importance of blood to the vampires, and how crucial someone like Kimihiro was to a vampire like Kaga.
This was important, even if it hurt.
"Your dorm's in this hall," Waya assured Hikaru, "My room is just around the corner. Make sure to pop by if you need anything. I'm sure Isumi-san wouldn't mind."
Hikaru gave the friendly and spirited brunette a fond smile. He'd only met Waya and Kimihiro, but they seemed really nice. Hikaru felt as if he could trust them. He was slightly disappointed by the lack of vampires that he had met, but there was no reason for him to feel that way. He'd always wanted to fit in, and the students that he'd met, even if they were human, understood him- Waya in particular.
'Besides,' Hikaru thought, "I'll be meeting a vampire soon enough. My vampire.' He was still rattled from what Waya and Kimihiro had said to him. Was his vampire seriously a murderer? It couldn't be true… Why would the headmaster put him with someone who was so dangerous? He couldn't have…
Maybe the murder was a mere rumour. Perhaps it wasn't true at all.
Even if he did want to help feed a vampire, he didn't want to be killed by one. There was a fine line between being a masochist and just being full out suicidal.
"Well, good luck with Mitani-sempai. If he's too much for you, don't hesitate to stop by," Waya waved before he headed off in his own direction.
With a bunch of nerves eating away at his insides, Hikaru took a deep breath and approached the room that he would be sharing with this infamous Yuki Mitani. By this point, he wondered what the guy would be like. What was his personality like? What did he look like? After all of the negative talk, Hikaru could feel his curiosity roar to life.
As he stood in front of the doorway, Hikaru wondered whether he should knock or not. But then again, it was technically his room now too. Why knock?
Still hesitant and slightly frightened, Hikaru wrapped his hand around the doorknob and then twisted it open. "Hello?" he called into the dim room before he stepped inside. "Maybe Mitani still has class," Hikaru muttered to himself, snapping the light on.
After a stretch, Hikaru tossed his bags and school books onto one of the beds, hoping to pack them later.
"Are you Hikaru Shindou?" a quiet voice suddenly came from behind him.
Hikaru whipped around, startled. A boy who stood just a bit taller then himself occupied the doorway all of a sudden. With stunned eyes, Hikaru looked over the boy. Like all of the other students, human and vampire alike, he wore a black blazer. It was unbuttoned, a red dress shirt worn underneath it. His eyes were as sharp and penetrating as the blade to a knife, though they were a beautiful and stunning shade of violet- they had almost a pink-ish tinge to them. His bright hair flipped in every direction, it's curled tips appearing to be as soft as silk. He really was lovely…
"Are you gonna answer me, or stare at me like some dumb idiot all day?" the beautiful boy shifted his weight impatiently.
Growing flustered, Hikaru replied, "Sorry… Yeah, I'm Hikaru Shindou. And you're Yuki Mitani, right?"
Yuki shut the door behind him before he walked up to Hikaru, cornering him between the bed and himself. Hikaru couldn't help but notice Yuki's fangs as he spoke rather coldly, "Now that we have the introductions settled, why don't I tell you how things run in this room."
Hikaru blinked up at him before saying, intimidated, "You mean… like, rules?"
"First of all, you refer to me as Mitani-sama. Not Mitani-kun and definitely not Yuki-kun. I'm not your friend," Yuki explained, earning himself a horrified look from Hikaru, "Secondly, don't touch anything. That ties in with the third rule. Never cut yourself. So if you see anything that could have the possibility of cutting you, don't touch it."
"… But… Why?" Hikaru dared to ask.
"Because I said so, that's why."
Hikaru could barely believe what he was hearing. Was Yuki Mitani seriously expecting him to simply accept this? "I'm not your bitch," Hikaru thought to himself. Talk about disrespecting someone who was meant to be a partner. Weren't partners supposed to be considered as equals?
Turning away, Mitani said, "I don't need you to cut yourself and spill blood that's rightfully mine. I really hope that you're not a hopeless clutz."
Hikaru could feel his face going red. This was just shameful. Why was he being treated like this? The blonde's hands clenched into fists at his sides and he could feel his eyes fighting away tears.
Angry, Hikaru hissed, "Well aren't you gonna bite me or something!? I'm obviously nothing more then food to you!"
Mitani chuckled darkly, "Isn't it your first day here? I'll be nice and cut you a break. I can deal till tomorrow. Besides, I'm going out. Later."
"Nice to meet you too," Hikaru muttered bitterly after the vampire left the room.
Well, I hope you guys liked it. Please review! =D
