"K-Keitaro, why are we at this carnival in public when I am a vampire?" Shinobu asked.
"We are out having a good time to get your mind off that nonsense," Keitaro explained.
"How can you say it is nonsense when I attacked Kitsune?" Shinobu askes with big teary eyes.
"Now, now you didn't attack her; you just walked in her room uninvited and leaned over her neck" Keitaro explained hurriedly.
How is that any better, Shinobu thought.
In the bushes behind them, we see Naru peering out. I'm just here to make sure he doesn't do anything perverted, it's not like I am jealous she reasoned to herself.
"Hi Naru, what are yall done in there" came a familiar voice. Naru wiped around to see Kitsune and Su standing there.
"Whaaa? What are you doing here?" Naru questioned.
"We came to be stalkers too," Su cheered.
"I'm not being a stalker and why do you have cotton candy and shopping bags?" Naru raged.
"Just because we're on guard don't we can have fun" Kitsune replied.
It looks like you just wanted an excuse to go out, Naru thought. As Kitsune sampled the wine table.
"Could you at least act discreetly we don't want them to see us!" Naru raged.
"Don't ya worry my latest invention will hide us!" Su exclaimed. "Presenting the disguises-o-tron" she turns on a machine.
The machine whirs and two metal hands come out and puts a hat and glasses on Su. "Ta-da, no one will recognize me now," Su declared.
No one will fall for that Naru thought.
"Hi, guys, where did Su go and who is this dashing young man" Kitsune drawled well leaning on Su's shoulder.
Sweat drops from Naru.
**A few moments later**
We see the group all dressed up, Naru with a box over her head, and Kitsune with a wig on.
"How is a box over my head a disguise won't it attract more attention" Naru shouted.
"Here they come, scatter" Kitsune interrupted.
"Want some food from one of these vendors?" Keitaro asked.
"B-but I drink blood now" Shinobu responded.
"No, you don't," Keitaro argued. "Besides, that doesn't mean you can't eat food right?"
"I guess" Shinobu replied.
So what do we have around here? Keitaro thought. Garlic pizza? no. Garlic dunked in chocolate, Gross. Garlic cotton candy, why? Onion on a stick? Gahh isn't there anything, not garlic?
"Ah, here we go, have a Shish Kabob," Keitaro said, holding it out to Shinobu.
"K-Keitaro?" Shinobu asked with tears in her eyes.
Keitaro realized he was holding a big wooden stake with food on it up to Shinobu.
"Gahh. I'm so sorry, it was an accident," Keitaro apologized.
"No, I understand you feel the need to have protection. I am dangerous now," Shinobu said sadly.
"No, it's not like that," Keitaro wailed.
"What's that moron doing" Naru grumbled.
Why do you care? a voice seeming to come from inside her asked.
Well, I'm just worried about Shinobu, Naru argued.
Are you sure? Keitaro would never do something to hurt Shinobu. Maybe you're afraid that you might lose Keitaro's interest?
No, I'm not, I have no interest in what that stupid pervert thinks of me or who he likes.
No? Then why were you so adamant about him going on a date with Shinobu? Admit it, you care about him.
I do not.
Oh, you hate him then?
Well, No I don't hate him. But that doesn't mean I care about him.
If you don't care why are you so defensive about him?
Well, maybe I….
Just admit you like him and buy Kitsune some sage to celebrate!
"Eh?" Naru said as she turned and saw Kitsune was talking into a voice-changing microphone Su had made.
"Kitsune" Naru said angrily.
Oops, I pushed it too far Kitsune thought.
"Get out of here," Naru said as she smacked Kitsune on the head.
**Later**
"Hey Shinobu, how about we do the strongman carnival game," Keitaro asked.
"But Keitaro it would be unfair with my vampire superstrength?" Shinobu asked.
"But you're not a vampire" Keitaro replied, is that even a vampire attribute? He thought.
Keitaro swings the hammer but misses and stumbles into a passing by women's breasts. They hit him away.
Keitaro gets up to try again. And hits it this time, it goes up only a little way stopping just under "the weak harem MC" on the scale. What kind of scale is this Keitaro thinks? putting the hammer down.
"Your turn," Keitaro says as he approaches Shinobu.
In the background we see Su swapping the hammer out for another one.
Okay, Shinobu goes to pick the hammer up and walks to her position.
She swings it and the ball goes shooting up, passing the ranks Yandere, Kuudere and reaches the top: angry Tsundere. Hitting the bell and breaking it off.
"Ahhg, me bell" The man running it shouts.
"Let's try somewhere else," Keitaro shouts, pulling the dazed Shinobu away.
"What did you do to that hammer Su?!" Naru asked.
"I wanted to test out my new super hammer, It triples your strength," Su replied, flashing the victory sign.
"But we are supposed to convince her she is, not a Vampire" Naru raged.
**later**
"How about we try this spook house," Keitaro asked.
"But what good would that be, I have nothing to fear as a vampire," Shinobu asked.
"Then there's no reason not to do it," Keitaro replied. It might not be fun, but being scared might convince her she is not a vampire, Keitaro thought as he headed in.
Look, they're going into the spook house. If we can scare Shinobu I bet she will stop believing in the vampire nonsense. Naru exclaimed.
"Or we could wait and have some of these scrumptious caramel apples," Kitsune replied as she and Su drooled at the displays.
"Forget the apples, this is a surveillance mission" Naru yelled at them.
**inside**
Shinobu and Keitaro crept down the hall, every step echoing back to them only to remind them that they were alone.
Fog snaked around their feet sending chills down their spines and into their very souls.
"For years people have wondered what man's greatest fear is." The announcer barely whispered.
"So to bring you the best scare possible a group of researchers were hired.
They slaved away studying the effects of true terror trying to find the purest source.
They worked tirelessly day after day and were brought to the brink of insanity. But after countless hours the only remaining scientist solved the mystery. Or so it is believed.
He was never found. The only thing that was found was his notes, in a torn-up office suggesting madness."
They had reached a door, with the words danger enter at your own risk posted on it.
"So we present to you their findings. If you dare."
Keitaro slowly opened the door. Shinobu next to him.
"An empty sage bottle" the voice shouted. "Oooooohh"
Sweat drops from Keitaro and Shinobu.
"You built all that up for an empty sage bottle?!" Naru yelled at Kitsune. They were in the control room. Kitsune had the announcement microphone in hand.
"We would have been better off with Su's idea of an empty banana peel!" Naru continued.
"Y'all right, I should have gone for something more widely feared like Sonic fanart" Kitsune stated.
**outside**
Man, that was lame Keitaro thought. Mr. Akamatsu would have come up with something better. As they exited the haunted house.
"Hey Keitaro, what are you doing here?" some asked from behind them.
They turn around to see Shirai and Haitani.
Oh, who are you? Keitaro asked.
"We're your best friends" they raged. "Haitani and Shirai"
"Doesn't ring a bell, are you sure you're not some lame OCs or self insert characters?" Keitaro asked.
"How dare you, we are canon characters in the anime and manga!" They both shout, holding Keitato by the neck.
Shinobu watching with a sweat drop.
"So, are you here on a date with Naru?" Haitani asked. "Where is she? I need some heroine charm".
"No, I'm here with Shinobu," Keitaro explained gesturing to Shinobu.
Shocked looks from Haitani and Shirai, "you two-timer" they shout simultaneously "you already had Naru now you're dating a loli you scumbag". "You're lucky the FBI isn't here!"
"Stop strangling me," Keitaro gasped. "We are just here to cheer her up," He explained quietly. "She was bitten by a bat and thinks she's a vampire"
"So you're saying you need help? We would love too" Shirai and Haitani replied enthusiastically.
I never said that Keitaro raged, Shinobu looking concerned behind him.
"Please we never get screen time" they plead.
In the bushes behind them "Hey, Naru what's a loli? Are they yummy, can I eat them?" Su asked.
"No Su that's illegal" Naru scolded.
"We have to do something before the two idiots somehow make things worse" Naru Declared.
"Couldn't we wait and see where the night takes them?" Kitsune asked playfully.
"Stop acting perverted" Naru shouted.
"Ahh, I'm sorry Naru" Keitaro cried as he recoiled. Nothing happened.
"What was that?" Shirai asked.
"Sorry I could have sworn I heard Naru," Keitaro replied.
"Maybe you should get a restraining order," Haintani asked. "Assault is illegal," Sharai added.
**later**
"So this is the place we told you about" Sharai explained, "This is a listed medical facility that will be able to identify that bite for you," Haitani finished.
"This is a massage center" Keitaro raged. "They're not qualified to identify a bite,"
"Sure they will, it's a medical massage place," Sharai replied. "They do have to get a license to do massage," Haitani added.
"That's the wrong type of license," Keitaro argued.
"Uhh, Keitaro?" Shinobu asked. "I wouldn't mind a massage"
"Oh, okay" Keitaro replied.
"Bye," Haitani and Sharai said as Keitaro and Shinobu walked in.
"I wonder if we will get another appearance in this fan-Ahhhgah" Sharai and Haitani screamed as they got hit with one of Su's missiles.
"Su, I said something mild" Naru yelled. "And Kitsune get away from them with that camera!"
**inside**
"Okay please have a seat we will call you when a masseur is ready," the person at the counter said.
"Hello, are you waiting for a massage too?" They turn to see Mutsume.
"Mutsumi? What are you doing here?" Shinobu asked.
"My doctor suggested a therapeutic massage would help with my fainting spell," Mutsume explained. "Right doc?" She turns to Tama who is sitting next to her with a white coat on.
"Mew" Tama agreed.
Sweat drops form Shinobu and Keitaro.
"Your massage is ready" a voice called.
"So why are you here?" Mutsumi asked as they got up to have their massage.
**meanwhile**
"This is a terrible plan," Naru freted.
"What about it is terrible?" Kitsune asked. "We pose as the masseurs to get close to them, and use Su's machine the memory washer to make Shinobu forget about the vampires"
"That sounds super illegal," Naru complained. "And are we sure messing with people's minds is safe?"
They enter the room.
"What, why are their three people in here?" Naru asked.
"They must be short on space," Kitsune guessed. "Everyone take one try to find Shinobu, and remember disgust your voice"
"Ello I will be your masseur today ya" Naru said in a fake, boardline offense accent.
"Okay be careful my back is stiff from getting hit all the time" Keitaro repiled.
Urg, Naru thought, I got Keitaro there is no way I am touching his bare back with my hands.
No, no I've got to stick this out for Shinobu. Naru reminded herself as she started massaging.
"Ohh, that feels good," Keitaro responded.
**At the other tables**
"I think this is Shinobu," Kitsune whispered to Su, she is muttering about vampires."
"Okay" Su responded, moving away from her subject to set up her memory washer for the target.
**Back to Naru and Keitaro**
Hmm this is kind of nice, wait no, don't think that. This is Kietaro. He is probably thinking all sorts of perverted things having a cute woman massage his back. Naru thought.
"Can I tell you something masseur? You seem like a nice non violent women" Keitaro asked quietly.
"Huh, oh, ya." Naru said, almost forgetting her accent.
"Despite being here to help Shinobu I can help but wish I was here with Naru" Keitaro admitted.
Huh? Naru thought.
"Despite all the times Naru has hit me, I care about her. I have tried to tell her I like her, but she seems like she only thinks of me as a friend" Kietaro continued "I just wish she could tell me she likes me too and give me some hope. I'm about ready to give up on her."
H-he likes me Naru thought, no one has ever told me that. Maybe I should say something.
"Hey" Shinobu's voice broke the silence "where did my masseur go?" She asked as she sat up holding her towel to her chest.
"Wait, that's Shinobu. Su stop your-" Kitsune started.
"Engage" Su said as her machine fired at the person who was still lying down.
"Success, memory erased" Su cheered everyone else looking with a sweat drop.
"Kitsune and Su is that you?" Kietaro asked, peering through the steam.
"What do you mean, memory erased," Shinobu asked.
Mitsume sat up without her towel "Oh hello, who are you people and who am I?" She asked with her silly grin on.
"Aharg" Keitaro exclaimed, getting a nosebleed.
"Get out of here you pervert" Naru shouted as she hit Keitaro away.
**Once outside the room**
"Sorry we ruined your date" Kitsune apologized to Shinobu.
"It's fine, it was probably a good idea with me as a vampire," Shinobu replied, still downcasted.
"But what are we going to do about Mutsumi?" Naru raged. "Her memory is gone."
"Speaking of gone where's Keitaro at?" Su asked.
We see an unconscious Keitaro hang from the top of the broken strongman game, His towel has gone missing.
Sharai and Haitani look on with sweat drops. How did he get up there, they thought, while still smoking from Su's blast.

I should clarify that Kietaro did not see Naru in the massage room and does not know Naru heard what he said.
As for the story, what do you think? Will Mutsumi regain her memory? Will Shinobu ever feel better? Will I lose my mind from cabin fever amidst the pandemic lockdown?
