Chapter 2: The Morning After

Ren: "Hey. Real men don't rape woman."
Guy: "And what if we don't want to?" not want to rape her.
Ren: "Then I'll make you." not rape her.
Sorry!! I was in a rush at one point when I added that in, and I sorta forgot to reread what I wrote. XD Deeply sorry, if that confused anyone, which probably did. I'm doing this a lot lately. Hmm…Sorry for the wait!

Disclaimer: I do not own Karin or Chibi Vampire as it's known in North America. I own Emi Sakuragi and Sarah Kotomii.

Ren woke up once more, the lights blinded him, and he shielded his face for the time being.

"Ah! You woke up!" The cheerful voice, got his attention, he looked up to see a girl, bouncy and cheerful move over to him.

"You slept for a long time!"

"Who are you?" Ren asked, without even another word.

"That's right! I never introduced myself! I'm Sakuragi Emi!" She said, and bowed. Then that was when it all came flooding back to him, he hadn't finished his business.

"What time is it?"

"Seven o'clock. Are you hungry?" She asked. Then he noticed her attire, as she started to make a move back to the kitchen. She was wearing a skirt, and a normal top, with a frilly pink apron to top off her innocent exterior.

Ren got up off the bed, and made a move over to her, "I am hungry, but I'm hungry for you." he said, caressing her face, and blocking her from going anywhere else, while he basically just pinned her to the wall.

"That's not possible." She said, and easily slipped through, "I'm going to have to get to work soon." she went into the kitchen, and continued cooking.

Which left Ren to look around the room. It was simplistic, with a western style bed in the corner. A table was folded up and off to the side. A bookshelf up against another wall, stacked with books, and a small tv near the bottom. There were some pillows surrounding the tv as well.

Ren sighed, and sat down on the bed. Then he noticed it from the corner of his eye, a blue stuffed toy bunny. He picked it up by the ear, and stared at it.

"Are you still in high school?" His worst fear being unleashed, was he into younger girls? Or worse, lolita like faces? "How old are you?" He asked out loud.

"Twenty!" Her voice carried out to him, and he sighed slightly.

He stared at the bunny longer.

"You never introduced yourself." She added, walking in, and setting down somethings on a table, behind Ren.

He had his back turned to her, since he was still staring at the bunny.

"Maaka, Ren."

"Ah…Ren-kun, I'd like to thank you for taking me home. So here. A packed dinner." She opened up the top of it to show him. He stared at it, still holding the bunny. How was he supposed to eat that?

Then, she shrieked, and launched herself out at him. She managed to grab the bunny out of his hands, and crawl up into the farthest corner of the bed from him.

"Don't hurt him!" She said.

Ren stared at her. "It's a toy…"

"No! He's named Mr. Fuz Wuz!"

Ren gave her a blank look.

She's crazy.

There was silence for awhile, then he finally spoke, "Are you really 20?" he asked.

"Yes…" She said, still staring at him, "Oh! I have to get to work. See you sometime soon!"

She thrust the boxed dinner into his hands and rushed him out of her apartment. She went off to get ready.

------

"Ah! It looks really good!"

"You want it?"

"But she gave it to you."

"Idiot." He conked his younger sister on the head. "How can I eat it?"

"Ow…" Karin rubbed her head, gingerly. "Fine, I'll take it."

She pulled the box to her, and broke open a pair of chopsticks, and started eating it. "Wow, it tastes good." She said.

"Really?" Ren asked, eyeing her. Anju stared at the box.

"It's pretty." She said, in her quiet voice.

"And well done." Karin said, "She'd be a perfect wife!" she added, rather suggestively.

"It's not like I'm going to marry her or anything." Ren replied. "Pfft, she'll probably just one day, fall over a bridge on accident, or get herself killed. She so clumsy…"

What if one of those thugs were to come there again and try something? Wait, why should I care? Why would, I care? He was looking out the window, it was dark, and almost 8, if he remembered correctly her shift probably ended in an hour or two. She's so troublesome, it doesn't matter to me what will happen to her. Even if it does happen to her……Geez, I just wanted a taste.

"Onii-san." Karin was waving her hand in front of his face.

"What is it?" He asked, finally snapping back into reality.

"Here, give this to her." Karin said, she was holding out the now cleaned empty bento box. "Well, the next time you see her, that is."

Ren sighed, "Might as well get it over to her now then." he said.

"Have fun!" Karin said, waving after him.

"Be careful." Anju said, quietly once more.

Ren sighed, as he walked out of the house through the backdoor.

He was walking down the streets of the city, trying to remember where the diner was, all the while looking out for any good looking girls. There weren't many. They were either with their boyfriends or not his type.

Finally he came upon the diner, the big sign in the front, and the jolly atmosphere it was giving off.

He grimaced and started walking toward it. As he did so he noticed some people walking in, they were the same from last night.

They never stop do they?

But, he walked in any ways, and sat a little bit away from them.

He continued sitting there, and didn't order anything but a glass of water, where it sat ever since the waitress had put it there.

Once in awhile, Emi would come by, but she wouldn't really notice. She was busy since the whole place was packed.

Soon, her shift was over, as it sounded from what she said. Ren paid for his water, and walked out of the diner from the front entrance, and made his way to the back.

There he witnessed the group of thugs ganging up on her.

"Hey, girlie, your little boyfriend isn't around, so we can have as much fun as we want." One said, coming closer to her.

"N-No…"

"Come on, we promise you it'll be a lot of fun!" Another said, coming closer to her as well.

In a flash, Ren was by Emi's side. He held her close to his body, and kept here there. "Just what do you guys think you're doing?" He ordered.

"None of your business pretty boy." The one who first spoke replied.

"I believe it is, since she is my girl friend, isn't she?" He said.

They finally gave up, they didn't want to deal with a fight at the moment, so they just spat at the ground and walked off.

"Arigatou, Ren-kun!" She said, looking up at him.

"It's nothing, and stop calling me, 'Ren-kun'!" He added, mimicking the way she called him that as well. "We still barely know each other."

"So?"

"…" Ren stared at her for awhile, "Here's your bento box, my sister enjoyed eating it."

"Oh! Thank you for bringing it back to me;" She said, taking it, "you have a sister?" she added staring at him.

"Yes."

"How old is she? What's her name? Is she in High School? What does she look like?"

Ren pondered on those questions for awhile as he began walking her back to the cross streets of her home.

"She's 16 years old, I think…"

"You think? You aren't a very good brother."

He ignored what she said, "Her name is Karin Maaka."

"Ah…what a cute name!"

"She's in high school, I think…"

"You really aren't a very good brother."

"Shut up." He said, "Here's a picture of her." he reached into his pockets and took out the picture he had of her.

"Wow! She's so pretty!" Emi said, holding the picture in her hands, "She has big breasts too…"

Ren jumped slightly, "E-Excuse me?"

"Well look, doesn't she?"

"I'm not suppose to know those kind of things."

"Well you should, who knows how many guys might go after her. She has a nice body, and she looks really sweet."

Ren took the picture back and put it into his pocket, "You haven't met her yet."

"Well if she's anything like you, then she has to be really nice, right?"

He didn't answer, he simply thought, if she was anything like me, she'd be a menace to all men.

He chuckled, which made Emi stare at him confused.

"It's nothing. Here we are, will you be okay from here on?" He asked.

She nodded, "Yeah. See you sometime soon!" with that she skipped off down the street.

He sighed watching her, then turned around and walked straight back.

As he passed by the diner's alley, he noticed the same group of thugs, this time around a blonde haired girl. A curly blonde haired girl, with big blue eyes. She was foreign, and the diner had been closed already, so apparently she was the last to leave.

Ren sighed again, They never give up do they?

He rushed forward, and knocked out the thugs, and was able to save the girl. He was her knight in shining armor.

He too walked her home, and got to know her. She was Sarah Kotomii, she moved to Japan from the states, ten years ago, to live with her dad. She was now 25.

But most of those details didn't matter to Ren. Now they were in her apartment, it was a much better place then Emi's which he noticed immediately. The idiotic girl probably didn't go home straight away, she probably went to the hospital, then went home.

But most of those thoughts were drowned out as well by the other things in his head.

Soon he had pushed Sarah on to the bed, and was kissing her fervently. When he reached her neck, his fangs came out and he bit down, and began drinking.

He let out a relieved sigh, and watched as she dropped down on the bed. Ren simply removed his jacket, and waited for her to come to. Then they continued with what had been their original goal.

------

Ren was kind of OC, but meh…I want him to have a bit of a heart of a big brother figure to his little sisters. I think that's what Karin calls him. Boy is he a playa. Well I hope you enjoyed that. I had to bump this up to M, because of some of the elements in this, but yeah…
