Sorry! Sorry! Sorry! It's been a REALLY long time since I've updated this, but I've had writer's block and I've had some troubles in my life. Soo…. Please forgive me? puppy eyes Anyway, this chapter's gonna have a new character (by request. Sorry everyone who doesn't like reading fics with OCs!!!). I'll still try to introduce more characters from the actual show though. Oh! And I don't know when I'll be able to update this again. School… Neh.

Read and enjoy!

Legato and Keket took their seats in the back row of the theater. Keket refused to let Legato pay for her ticket, but he did anyway. She bought the snacks, which was water, a Dr. Pepper, a large popcorn, and a box of Milk Duds for Keket.

They were sitting next to a strange girl, almost stranger than Keket. She had light blue hair with two pinkish streaks around her face. Her ears were pointed, and it looked as if she had a sliver cat tail tipped in pink. Her right eye was pale blue and her left was violet. Her clothes were very skimpy, and showed off her many piercing and two silver scars - one on her collar bone and one on her left cheek.

She turned and looked at Keket, who smiled weakly, enough to show her fangs. The girl's mix-matched eyes widened and she grinned, showing off her own set of fangs. "Are you a vampire?" she asked.

Keket glanced back at Legato, who had taken a seat. He shrugged as if to say 'Tell her if you want.' She sighed and said, "Yeah. I'm a vampire."

"Me too! Or at least part vampire," the girl said, looking Keket up and down. She didn't seem like she was going to share what else she was. "I'm Himeko."

Keket took the seat between her and Legato. "Keket."

"That's a pretty name. What's it mean?"

"Goddess of Darkness."

"It suits you," Himeko said, smiling.

Keket shrugged and nodded slightly. She looked into the other girl's eyes and almost immediately knew what she was. "You're elf and kitsune as well, aren't you?"

She felt Legato lean closer. A streak of pink crossed Himeko's pale face. "Yes. How'd you know?"

"Heh…" Keket sweat dropped. "Lucky I guess…"

Himeko shrugged and turned to face the screen. Keket did the same, but Legato leaned closer to her. "How did you know that?"

"One, she has elf ears. Two, she has a tail. Three, I know these things…"

Legato nodded in understanding and faced the screen as well. A ray of light streamed in as the door opened, admitting three figures Keket and Legato both knew. Two were tall with blonde hair; one had his spiked unusually high. The other was wearing a lot of black. The shortest of the three was a girl with brown and blonde hair; Star.

Keket groaned and slouched in her seat. Vash, Knives, and Star made their way up to the back row. She could see Himeko's eyes watching them.

She leaned over and whispered, "Do you know them?"

"Yes," Keket nodded. "The guys, I hate, but the girl is my best friend. She's kinda mad at me though."

"Ooh. Why?"

Keket nodded her head at Legato, and a look of understanding crossed the other girl's face. The trio took seats beside Legato, with Star in the middle. Knives smiled at his best friend.

"So we meet again."

"Obviously," Legato replied.

The previews to upcoming movies started to play, and nothing else was said. Once or twice during a "jumpy" part, Keket found her self clutching Legato's hand. She let go as soon as she realized it though. When the movie ended, it left Keket with a great dislike of her kind.

"Why'd they hafta make Dracula the bad guy?" she complained to Legato and Himeko as they stepped into the lobby.

"Dracula's always the 'bad guy'," Legato informed her.

"I know. But he's never that bad."

Himeko snickered, and Keket caught sight of Vash, Knives, and Star walking towards them out of the corner of her eyes. She inwardly sighed and turned to face them. Star was still glaring at her, but Knives and Vash were smiling. Vash at her, and Knives at Legato.

"Can I help you?" Keket asked dryly.

"Have fun?" Star said with an edge to her voice.

"Yes," Legato answered for her. Keket blinked.

Star sighed, and shook her head. "I'm sorry I got so mad, Keket."

Keket smiled in relief. "It's okay."

Star looked at Himeko. "Hello! Who're you?" She offered her hand.

Himeko looked at it for a moment, then at Keket, who nodded. She shook it and said, "Himeko."

"That's a pretty name. I'm Star."

"Hello."

Keket glanced around. Vash was snickering at something, and Legato and Knives were talking. From the look on Legato's face, they were not to his liking. Vash stepped forward.

"So it's true. Freaks attract freaks?" he laughed.

"Excuse me?" Keket, Star, and Himeko said at the same time.

He pointed to Keket and Himeko. "Keket's a 'vampire' and this girl's… Well something! There's nothing wrong with Star," he added hastily.

Before anyone knew it, Keket and Himeko had tackled Vash to the ground and were both punching him in the jaw. Star screamed, causing Legato and Knives to turn and watch, Knives promptly bursting into laughter. Legato's eyes widened and he grabbed Keket around the waist as he had done earlier. This time, however, she broke free from his grasp and went back to hitting every part of Vash she could reach.

By the time the security guards had managed to pull both of the un-naturally strong girls off Vash, he had at least one broken rib, two black eyes, and more bruises over his body. Himeko's eyes had changed. Her left eye was now amber and her right was now black. Star and Legato said afterward it looked like Keket's had been red.

"Serves him right," Keket scoffed as Star lectured her when they got home.

"Can't you just give him a chance?" she pleaded.

"No."
