I don't own Karin (if your American, Chibi Vampire, same deal). Just happened to have read the manga scans online. This picks up after the end of volume 7, with Kenta and Karin on the bench. I wouldn't suggest reading up to that point before starting this, just so you're up to date. Kinda an alternate way to continue after 7, since the scanlating seems slow. This takes place about 3 days after that, starting at 1:00 in the morning. Anyway, disclaimer over? I suppose so. Oh, and I kinda left my last series out to dry, I know. I don't PLAN on doing that with this one, but it could always happen if I eventually lose interest. Just as a prior warning. I'll try to find some way to wrap this up before too long though, so I don't have a worry of that. ONWARD!!!

to any readers of my last one, I MAY continue it, may not, decides on if i get more inspiration. it ran dry after that mistle toe scene, actually only plan i had for the series so far. sry :)

The town mall. In a small, dimly lit alley just off the main entrance of said mall was a lonely bat hanging from the rafters, watching a dramatic scene unfold. It's powerful eyes were focused on two figures: one, the semi-young Ren Maaka, pinned to the ground; and the other the man pinning him to the ground with one large, bat-like wing extending from his back under a cloak and pushing down on Ren's chest. On Ren's face is an expression of shock, disbelief, and something strangely like fear. Ren shouts something, and the other figure simply pushes his one wing harder, sliding Ren slightly backwards along the ground. All of this information was being relayed back to a house on top of a hill somewhere in the middle of the park. Specifically, her daughter, Anju, is showing it through the bat's eyes to Carrera Marker, Ren's mother.

"Henry," she said drawling, "You might want to come look at this…"

Henry Marker was her husband. Like the rest of their family, a vampire, and a bit of a subordinate to Carrera.

"What is it dear?" he asked while running over from the kitchen. "Oh, is that Ren, wh-…" After a short pause and his face slowly turning red with anger… "WHO is THAT!? He has the GALL to toss around MY son!? This is inexcusable!" And with a huff, he was already flying out the window into town.

"See Anju? Men are so easy…"

"But mother, shouldn't we try to figure out who that vampire is, and why he is in the middle of a fight with Ren? I wasn't even aware that there were other vampires in this area, much less one that looks as young as this one. I thought none of the other vampire mothers had been able to get pregnant?"

"They haven't. And I know exactly who it is, he's much older than he seems. He is powerful enough to have wings after all. I'm just curious as to how your father will handle this actually. I love him dearly, but he can't always jump into every fight he wants. He's definitely outmatched this time…"

"Oh, well alright then. I'll keep the bat hiding there. Should we wake Karin?"

"No, she'll meet him tomorrow." And Mrs. Marker walked off somewhere into the house, presumably to pour a glass of 'blood of a liar.'

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

A few moments later…

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Mooooommmmmm!"

"Yes Anju?" cried a voice from somewhere else in the house.

"You might want to take a look at this," came the obviously smirked our response.

Carrera walked in and looked at wan Anju was pointing it. It was the alley scene again, but it looked much different. "I take it Henry arrived?"

"Mhm. That's him hanging from the clothes line on the third floor. The big bat-looking shape. He just flew in and before I knew what happened was tied there. A bit pathetic really."

"No, your great uncle is just very old, despite his young composure, and fairly strong. I recognized his flaming red hair at once. Very rare on a vampire. But it looks as if he's decided to go with a more... modern hairstyle. He's like your father's mother, he prefers to look like a 17 year old."

"Oh, your uncle?"

"Yes. The only member of my family I've really ever known that well or I know is alive. So your father is struggling with the clothes line, where is your brother?"

"He's unconscious. When dad showed up, uncle used his wing to toss him sideways, and Ren ran into a wall."

"Okay, I think I'll go clear things up. Your great uncle is stable, but he doesn't know who they are, and I'd prefer to avoid a real fight. Be right back dear," she said with a smile.

"One question, why does he only have one wing if he's an elder vampire?"

"I'll let him explain that," Carrera said mysteriously.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Look who's come to visit from Europe," came a voice from the shadows. Aidan Tarinth turned quickly to see the familiar face he had come looking for.

"CARRI, my little niece, you've grown!" he yelled jubilantly, while running over, hugging, and picking her up.

"I'm an adult now, as you can see. It's Carrera. And I see you haven't grown, you still look like a punk teenager, not much older than my daughter Karin."

"I like this look. I even got a haircut based on some style called 'emo.' See how its very long bangs and everything else is shorter?"

"Yes, I noticed."

"And you'll always be my little niece, so I'll call you what I want," he said affectionately. After a pause… "Wait, your DAUGHTER Karin? So you got married and had children after all! I had heard things, but without seeing you for so long I couldn't verify any of it. I want to meet your whole family, right after I take care of these two. This town doesn't need stupid vampires like them causing trouble."

"Well actually, the vampire hanging from the clothesline that needs to not rush into battles as often is my husband."

[From above: "So you know this person, honey?"

"And that boy you knocked unconscious is my oldest, my son Ren. I'm sure whatever you saw him attempting to do to a female was unsavory, and I'm sure he deserved whatever he got, but my husband and I typically handle discipline. It has to do with his method of drinking his preference, but he often takes it too far by stalking and dating each person he feeds on."

"Oh. Well, son, you ARE awake now, right?"

A groggy "yes, ...uncle" replied.

"Be more careful to explain yourself. I thought you were a stalker. Terribly sorry," he finished with a smile. "Let's head back to your house?" he directed at Carrera.

"Help me get my two boys, and yes."

"Good, I'd like to meet everyone else, and get some rest. I had to hitch a ride clinging to the bottom of a plane..."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yup, first chapter, done. Length will be random, some longer, some shorter. An OC? Already? Yes, I love original characters, that's what fanfics are for. How will Carrera's uncle turning up end out? And what about Karin and dealing with ANOTHER (remeber her grandma Elda?) very teenage-like yet wise elder. And how about her relationship with Kenta? You'll see…
