True Self
Cecil: I decided to continue this, since people like it!
Ikuto: humph, you make me feel so-
Amu: -muffles him- don't worry about a thing he said!
Cecil: I hope you like this chapter! (I'm grounded right now, which means my parents blocked me from my internet! No!)

Chapter One
The Race
"Amu" Utau called. "Mom and Dad enrolled us into Seraphiel Institute"
"Okay" Amu said, sounding bored as usual which was no surprise to Utau.
"Let's pack our bags since we'll be staying in the dorms!" Utau exclaimed, excitedly.
"Sure," Amu said in the same bored tone as before. "There's nothing to do anyways."
Then they walked upstairs to their rooms. Utau was chatting excitedly being too hyper and Amu, well, she was just bored.
Tsumugu and Midori glanced at each other. This was the 5th school they're going to.
It was because Amu wouldn't participate in events, turn in homework, or she refused to try to do any of the spells the teachers give the students to do, to see if they were a "special vampire" aka vampura. Not to mention, Amu failed assignments too. (A/N- Vampurgels are more like angels than vampires)
The teachers kept kicking her out and they couldn't send their daughters to different schools.
They didn't know what was wrong with her or why she didn't want to participate in anything. Midori had always thought she was hiding something, but she wanted to give her daughter some privacy.
They heard Seraphiel helped kids like Amu, who refused to participate in activities and assignments.
Midori had contacted the school and signed them up. The principal Aruto Tsukiyomi, said not to worry about Amu. He said that some vampires were shy but they will help her discover what powers she has.
She was curious, but after a while she lost interest and never thought about it again.
The only thing she did still wonder about was why Amu had a tatoo of a cat with it's paws in the air and below it was a sentence or phrase in an ancient language that was so old, it wasn't even found in the library basement.
.:x.X.x:.
"I heard we have two new transfer students today!" Kukai said.
"I wonder if they're good or not." A husky voice said from behind Kukai. "I mean how much powers they have"
"There were some rumors that one of them doesn't have any powers at all!"
"Don't be silly, of course they do, or else why would they bother coming here? I mean this school is for high leveled vampires, right?" Ikuto snapped.
"True…but…" Kukai started, but he never got to finish the sentence because just then the bell rang and in came Nikaidou-sensei.
"Good morning class," Nikaidou started. "Today, we'll be having two transfers today from Seiyo Academy"
"Are they girls or boys?" One person asked.
"You'll see for yourself," he said. "Come in"
Two girls, the age of about 16 or 17 came in. The goth had shoulder-length pink hair, honey colored eyes, and her uniform was all black. Obviously.
The booklet that had the rules of Seraphiel Institute didn't say that the uniforms had to be a certain color so therefor many people wore different colored uniforms.
The taller girl wore her blonde hair in pigtails and they went down to her knees. Her eye color was violet and she looked about 17 while the other girl looked around 16. This girl's uniform was black and yellow.
"I'm Nikaidou-sensei and you ladies are…?" He asked.
"I'm Utau Hoshina." The blonde said. "I transferred here from Seiyo Academy, as you probably know and my talent is singing. I used to sing for Easter until my parents passed away and I came to live my cousin." Utau stepped back next to the pinkette. After she stepped back, people we're calling her "Singing Diva".
"And who might you be?" The teacher asked, looking at the pinkette.
"Who? You talking to me?" she asked, in her cool and spicy voice. In the classroom you could hear people saying "She's so cool." And "Spicy!" Then you hear people saying "Cool n' Spicy!"
"Yes, you." Nikaidou said, now more annoyed then teasing.
"I'm Utau's cousin, and my name is Amu Hinamori." She said then walked back to where she was standing.
"Anything you want to add to that Amu?"
"No" Amu said bluntly.
"Okay then, let's get you some seats." Nikaidou said. "Raise your hand if there is an empty seat next to you."
Only one person raised their hand and that person happened to be Ikuto Tsukiyomi.
"I have two seats next to me actually" He smirked.
"Please take your seats then ladies." Utau who noticed Ikuto's smirk decided to take the seat by the window. Amu, however, didn't notice and walked over to the empty seat between Utau and the blue-haired boy.
"Now that everyone is settled, I want to tell you that today we will be having a race too see who is the fastest in this class. " Cheers erupted from the students in the classroom.
"Line up everyone." Nikaidou commanded. Everyone rushed to the door except for Amu and Ikuto. Ikuto, because he doesn't want to get caught in the stampede and Amu, because she doesn't care where she is in the line.
Ikuto'sPOV
Kukai was talking about how hot the blondie was. But she didn't catch my interest. The pinkette, what was her name? Amu Hinamori, I think, she definetely caught my interest.
The blondie had this happy and competitve personality and a cheerful aura that could become aggressive but the pinkette…she was something else.
The reason I know all this is because I'm a vampura. I have two additional powers. The power to sense other people's personalities and aura's. The other is the power to be invisible. Wait, nevermind, I forgot I have a third power too. It is too read people's minds.
I could also use magic, sprout wings and fly. I assume you must all know I have 10 times the speed, strength and hunting. I think I forgot to mention hearing. (I forgot to put hearing…in the proglogue. Amu has vision instead of hunting btw)
Pretty cool huh? Well before I get too carried off with my bragging. I should get back to what I was thinking before.
As I was saying, the pinkette, she had a strange aura around her. It was very powerful, like mine. But it didn't reveal much about her personality. Her aura was mysterious.
But I could sense some sorrow in her personality.
Amu Hinamori is the first person I came across that I couldn't figure out. She is a mystery, just like life's a mystery. I still need to find out who's the other vampurgul and also the demon and the devil after that.
"Tsukiyomi!" I snapped out of my train of thoughts.
"Ikuto Tsukiyomi!" Nikaidou snapped. "What are you doing over there? It's time for the race. Hurry on over!"
"Yeah whatever" I muttered and joined them at the starting line. Then I heard a voice saying something to the already pissed teacher.
I strained to hear the quiet voice.
"Can I be excused?" The pinkette said quietly in an hypnotising voice. Nikaidou's answer was surprising. He had said "Yes", without asking why she wanted to be excused.
He cleared his throat. "Amu Hinamori is not feeling well, can someone please take her to the n-" Before he got to finish almost all the hands went up, even mine. The only people who didn't raise their hand, were Saaya and Lulu, which was not surprising.
"I am capable of getting there myself." I heard her pause then say. "I am 16 so therefor I won't need an assistance…right Sensei?"
"Yes, of course, go ahead" Nikaidou said shuffling his feet with embarrassment, or at least I thought it was embarrassment.
"Arigatou!" Amu said, bowed then scurried away.
"Can I get a drink of water first?" I asked. Nikaidou sighed. "Everybody! You have 10 minutes to get a drink, use the bathroom, or do whatever"
I went behind a wall then made myself invisible before jumping onto the roof and looking for Amu.
That's strange. I can feel her presence but I don't see her. And she just asked to go to the nurse, a minute ago. Nobody can reach the nurse's office that fast. It's on the other side of the campus.
I shrugged and leaped off the wall and made sure I couldn't feel any presence nearby before becoming visible again.
.:x.X.x:.
Amu'sPOV
That blue-haired boy is sure strange, I thought. He asks to get a drink, when heinstead tries to find where I am. Well then of course, if you call that strange then I must be strange too.
I mean who tries hiding their powers from everyone? Who? Me.
It was because I didn't want attention and more fangirls and fanboys than I alreay have.
And right now, I'm just sitting on the roof invisible from mostly everyone, watching people coming back from doing whatever and going back to the field, or err, track field. Is that what you call it? Track Field? I forgot, I didn't pay much crap about words in Literature in my old school.
Well let me tell you why I'm sitting here invisible on the edge of a roof, waiting for the race to begin. It's because I'm still hunting for the other vampurgel, that's in my generation.
I mean, there are very few in the world since not many vampires live up 2 million years old or older. And I heard Seraphiel Institute was for high leveled students.
I'll tell you more about it later. My head's starting to hurt since invisibility isn't one of my powers. The spell I cast, only lasts for a short time. And by short time I mean only around 30 minutes or an hour.
"On your mark, get set, go!" I heard Nikaidou yell. Everybody took off like the wind, except…guess who? If you thought it was the redhead with the big ego, then you're kind of right.
If you thought it was the blonde haired girl with the blue eyes then you are also kind of right. It's actually both and the blonde haired boy.
One of them was complaining about how they'll get there nails dirty. The other was saying that she'll ruin her hair or outfit. And the boy was just blabbing nonsense.
I think he said, "I'm am KING, I should not be running a race and then getting my clothes dirty nor ruin my perfectly done hair…" or something like that. Oh and he also said "MWAHAHAHHA" at the end. Weird much?
I looked at the race to see who was winning. I saw the blue-haired boy in the front and the rest of the mob trying hard to catch up.
Near the last lap, he smirked, kicked dust on the three and crossed the finish. Amazing, he didn't even break a sweat.
A couple minutes later everyone else started crossing the finish line.
The blue-haired boy, his name, I finally, remembered was Ikuto Tsukiyomi. The second person the cross the finish line was a boy with Kukai Souma.
The third person was a girl, no wait, a boy named Nagihiko Fujisaki. Sorry my bad, he looked like a girl. I mean seriously, how many boys do you meet have long violet hair reaching down to their waist? My hair is only shoulder length!
The redhead who turned out to be a girl named Saaya and the blonde who was Lulu were bickering about something. I wasn't sure since I was only half paying attention to them. Then they got in a cat fight and Nikaidou went over to break it up.
I should be getting back. I don't want people wondering why I'm at the nurse's so long.
By the time I got back, I was just in time.
"Feeling better, Amu?" He asked.
"Yeah" I said, flashing him one of my hypnotising smiles in case he was suspicious. I wouldn't want him to give me a bad reputation now do I? I wouldn't.
Who would? But then maybe I'll change my mind later and decide I do want a bad reputation. You never know right? Like the saying goes "Anything's possible, nothing's impossible"
Cecil: I don't know why but my chapters for stories are getting longer…
