Chibi Vampire…And a Werewolf?!
Embarrassment 1: A New Life and a Strange Traveler
It has been one month since the Sinclair Incident and when Kenta confessed to Karin. The two have become quite the cute couple, though Winner is still trying to win Karin's heart. Luckily, Maki keeps him in-line. Kenta's mom now has a job at the Julian restaurant, but has risen amongst the employees to become assistant manager. Because of her promotion, the Usui family is living in better conditions, but they still live in the same one-room apartment. Meanwhile, the Maaka family have been a little restless now that two more humans know their daughter's secret. But with some convincing from Anju, the family now feel a little at ease knowing that Karin will be protected during the daytime by her friends.
"Excuse me, ma'am, can I get some more coffee, please." said the unnamed male customer wearing a business suit.
"Yes, sir." said the young waitress cheerfully as she heads off to get the coffee pot for the customer. The young waitress had reddish, brown eyes, purple hair, and small fangs just barely unnoticeable.
Her name was Karin, she looked like your typical teenager working a part-time job. Of course, she wasn't your typical teenager. She was a vampire or, more to the point, an unvampire. She did not drink blood, but rather produced blood and received serious nosebleeds when she didn't bite someone. She was not affected by the normal vampire repellent, such as the sun or garlic, and did not have the typical vampire powers.
"Here you go, sir." said a very happy Karin pouring the customer his coffee. With a big smile she headed back to return the pot when she was met by her manager.
"Oh Karin, you seem to be in a good mood today. Is there something special?" asked the manager curiously.
"Yep, Kenta is going to take me to dinner, for the first time. Since, his mom no longer needs to worry about rent, he says he can be a little bit selfish about spending money." replied Karin in a happy tone.
"Ah, young love~." said the manager with great nostalgia. "I hope you two have good night together."
"Manager! Don't say embarrassing stuff like that. It's just a date!" screamed Karin embarrassingly.
"What's embarrassing?" asked Mrs. Usui curiously, who just walked out of the locker room.
"Oh nothing!" Karin said shocked by the entrance of Kenta's mother.
"Well if it's nothing…" said Mrs. Usui questionably. "By the way Karin, your shift just ended. You better hurry up or you're going to miss your date." said Mrs. Usui happily.
Karin then looked at the clock on the nearby wall. It showed 5:50 PM. "Oh no, you're right! I've gotta get prepared, it'll be so embarrassing if I'm not ready" said Karin as she hurried to change out of her uniform.
"Ah, young love." said the manager and Mrs. Usui in unison, probably remembering their younger years.
Five minutes later Karin rushed out of the locker room wearing her orange winter jacket and purple mittens. "See you tomorrow, Mr. Manager. See you later tonight, Ms. Usui." said the hurried Karin as she left through the back door.
"Good luck, Karin. See you tomorrow." said the manager.
"See you later Karin." said Ms. Usui happily. 'I'm glad that Kenta could find a girl as sweet and kind as Karin.' thought Mrs. Usui remembering all that Karin had done for Kenta over the last couple of months. She soon broke out of her nostalgia and started to take orders. And coincidentally, making every male customer fall head-over-heels for her.
Meanwhile, Karin was rushing to her hidden house on the top of the hill. 'I hope I can make it in time. I haven't picked out what clothes to wear. But more importantly, I hope that Anju's plan works. I can't have another embarrassing moment like last time.' thought Karin as she remembered her last date with Kenta.
It was a daytime date, but Karin's father had actual followed them and had his bats attack them during "certain" moments of their wasn't until Karin and Kenta tried to kiss that Henry jumped out to stop them. Surprised, Karin yelled at her overprotecting father, who was being burned by the sun. Totally embarrassing!
Karin soon reached her house. Its location was only known by a few. Anyone who wasn't the Maaka family or Kenta would get lost and end up back where they started. Karin entered her dark home. Once inside, she was greeted by her little sister, Anju, and her doll, Boogie. Anju had recently became a full vampire and could no longer help her during the daytime.
"Hello, big sister. You better hurry, your date will begin soon." said Anju in her quiet tone.
"I know, but I still haven't prepared yet." said a distressed Karin.
"What! You've planned this for days and yet you're still not ready. You really are brain...OW! OW! OW!" said Boogie mockingly until Anju intervened by stretching his face.
Karin simply ignored Boogie as she rushed into her room. Boogie wasn't completely right, she had actually picked clothes, but she couldn't decide on which one to wear. She wanted everything to be perfect, no distractions, no interrupting family, and – especially – no nosebleeds. As she changed clothes, after finally picking a dress thanks to Anju, Karin remembered back to those embarrassing days with all her friends and boyfriend and laughed.
'Those days were really embarrassing and very stressful, but I'm glad that all my close friends accept me even if I am different. And even though it's hard to live like this, it was worth it to meet everyone, especially Kenta.' Karin thought happily as she finished putting on the finally touches. Then, came a knock on the door.
"Big sister, you're going to be late." said Anju. Karin then looked at the clock on her desk and read 6:23 pm.
"AAAAAH! I'm going to be late!" screamed Karin as she rushed out of her room wearing her jacket over her clothes, and headed for the front door.
"What took you so long, Snail-brain? Couldn't decide which foot to step out with!" said Boogie mockingly and then laughed at his own insult.
Karin was quite angry at that remark, but knew it would have to wait. As much as she would want to destroy that doll for the years of insults, she had to be at the fountain at 6:30 to meet Kenta for their date, and simply ignored him. However, Anju seem to have done the punishment for her. After Boogie's punishment, Anju shut the door and walked toward the family room.
"I don't know why you do so much for Karin. You barely get a 'Thank you' from her when you help her out." said Boogie indignantly.
"As long as Karin is happy, I don't mind. But she does give her thanks." said Anju with a mild smile.
"Whatever, so how are you going to stop your family from ruining Karin's date?" asked Boogie
"I did what mother does to keep grandma from getting up." answered Anju.
Boogie laughed. "Oh, that's harsh. But what about the blood they require? And what about Ren?" asked Boogie.
"I have supplied them with the necessary amount of blood they will need before locking them, and I have my bats watching Ren's movement. He won't interfere anyways, he is on the other side of town." replied Anju.
"Okay, but be ready for something unexpected and for the punishment you'll get." said a worried Boogie.
"Don't worry Boogie. Nothing will go wrong." said Anju calmly. She then proceeded to her room to play with her dolls, as the sound of pounding is heard from the Henry and Calera's room, as well as the threats from Calera and pleads from Henry.
Meanwhile in the city, a lone figure walks out of the alley catching the attention of the people. It was a teenage boy wearing nothing but blue jeans and a gray hoodie. His skin was well tanned, but seemed very dirty. His physical features seemed that of an average teen his age. He had very ruffled up brown hair with a single blonde patch on the right side of head and had blue eyes. To the local people, he looked like a foreigner from, maybe, America, however, they some quickly noticed that he was caring a very old and dirty back pack about half-full. What was more serious was that even with the temperature being near 40 degrees, he seemed perfectly fine, not even once shivering. Despite this unusual appearance, the people continued to walk past him, with only a quick glance.
After walking for a bit, he looked at his surroundings and began to smile with a sense of nostalgia.
'Wow, it's been so long since I was last here. Seems like things haven't changed much in the last 5 years.' Thought the stranger as he walked. He then stopped, closed his eyes, and began sniffing the air. After a few seconds he stops with a large grin on his face.
'It's been a long time Maaka family, but now I'm back…' The stranger sniffs the air again,' and one of them is nearby. Wait? Is it her…' Thought the stranger, and began running towards the center of the city with a wolfish grin on his face.
