"Well, I don't like being stuck here all day. And plus, I actually have someone who understands me. Well, more than my family does, at least. I don't even understand me," I said to him, laughing a little. This way of life would definitely be better for me. Better than just going to the park everyday, at least. Not sure how safe it would be, but Neku would be with me, so it would all be fine, right?

I smiled at his agreement. It was just perfect! "If there is, my parents haven't told me about it. They say its just 'cuz I'm a stupid, backwards vampire. Big brother and even little sister are allowed to travel places! But thank you sooooo much, Neku!" I quickly jumped up and stepped back a little. "Alright, come with me back to my house, okay? My parents will have to meet you, after all."

[auntslappy282]

I sighed at her utmost joy. All I could do was hope that her parents would take me as a freak and not let her come with me. Hopefully.. "Yeah okay. Just take me back to your house and what not... I'll try to be nice." I could tell how much she wanted this, and it was kinda cute, I'd have to admit. I stood up, sighing from her excitement. I smiled slightly. I brushed off my pants and my shirt.

I pulled my headphones back over my ears and then looked at her. She was cute, I had to admit. But how in the world could an antisocial jerk like myself find a girl like her, whose out going and crazy and trying to get me to fall for her, meet and not explode in the first place? It really through my head in a tizzy I had to admit.

((Lol, I can just see Neku, like in a relationship WAAAY late walking by and kissing a girl on the cheek and not even admitting he did it later. XD Lol.))

[Atoli01]

I smiled at him. He was pretty quiet, and almost always wore a poker face, but there was something about him I found myself liking. Maybe it was because he was my first real human friend? Or because he didn't really care that I was a vampire? I shrugged it off. I like being around him, and that was that. "Alright then, off we go! Oh, and try to not to be intimidated by my family, okay?"

We walked for a few minutes before I found myself winding along the familiar path through what was basically a small forest surrounding our house. It was only a minute or two before we got there. What seemed to be a mansion stood in a clearing of trees. It was a dark red color, almost black. I looked back at Neku and laughed a little. He must feel so uncomfortable. I knocked on the door, and in just a few seconds, a small, gray haired girl opened it. "Oh, sister. You're back early. And why do you have a human with you?" I sighed and glanced back at Neku. "Um, long story. But can you tell everyone to gather up in the family room?"

{{I'm too lazy to give them pet forms, but yeah. I'm just gonna use Karin's family from the anime, so they're outlined a a little behind the picture of her. xD}}

[auntslappy282]

It was odd to be heading back into unfamiliar territory. I noticed all of the trees lining the place and we were in a forest. A flipping forest. Great. I saw the girl and already started to feel out of place. I was entering a home full of vampires. I looked around. The Shinigami's weren't here. I guess they have to give each other space or something?

I tapped Karin on the shoulder and whispered in her ear, "Are you sure it's safe...? I mean your family's not gonna be mad or try to eat me will they? I mean, I could fight them off somehow... But.. Never mind." I pulled my pen out, and examined it's round surface. I could read peoples minds with this, and attack, but was that only the noise?

((Thats fine. XD I'm gonna disappear for a little bit to take a shower. Feel free to go to bed, or whatever. XD I'll try to make it quick. ^^))

[Atoli01]

I have to say, I nearly died laughing. "Everyone's fine, but..." I said in between laughs. "But I would recommend staying as far away as possible from Ren. He has quite a little sister complex, if I say so myself. Oh, and Karin, be sure not to mention that he's your boyfriend around Ren." I stopped laughing just in time to hear Anju finish off my sentence. However, the last part was not what I had in mind. "H-he's not my boyfriend!"

I turned back to Neku after Anju started walking away and sighed. "That was Anju. Just ignore her. She's only eleven after all, don't take her too seriously. But  wouldn't hurt you or anything. He's just really... defensive of me when it comes to me and guys." I sighed and walked with Neku into the family room. Surprisingly, I already found everyone sitting down.

"U-um, everyone, this is Neku." Mama slammed her glass down on the table and glared at me. "And what exactly is this about? Have you fallen in love with a human?" Fallen in... love? That couldn't be, right? So I why couldn't I say it for sure? "N-no. It has nothing to do with that! Can I finish please? Alright, so that's Anju, my little sister as you know. The scary looking one over there is Ren, my big brother, and Carrela and Henry, my mama and papa." I sighed as I led Neku over to sit on the couch. There was just enough room for the two of us, considering it was a love seat.

"So, mama, papa... I want to be able to go out of this stupid town. N-Neku already knows, and..." I trailed off nervously, looking down at my feet. "Fine. But under one condition," my father replied quickly. "He has to  take care of you, and make sure no danger comes to my dear Karin." Anju and Ren were just seeping irritation. I glanced over at Neku, waiting for him to answer.

{{Long post is long. <3}}

[auntslappy282]

I looked at Karin and sighed. She was laughing. Great. Make fun of me why don't you? It's nice to be worried about yourself every once and a while. I stopped at the little girls comment. "We just met. I'm not her boy friend," I growled. I had a sneaking suspicion this was going to be a running thing with this family. I nodded at Karin's warning and at who her sister was.

I nearly fell over when her mother flipped out and said she had fallen in love with me. "We just met. It's not love if you just met. I don't blame her for wanting out of this house," I muttered quietly under my breath. I nodded to each person politely as she introduced me to them. Silently in my head I pleaded they would say no. I was shut down. So hard into the ground. It was kinda disappointing to tell the truth.

"Well...," I began, "I want you to know that the places I go aren't always happy and sunshiney, like this lovely place." I put emphasis on the lovely to try and get a laugh or something out of them. I wasn't really expecting much. "Its not easy, but I guess I could do my best to take care of her. I have some experience with that kind of stuff, and I'm sure she'll be able to take care of herself as well." I shrugged. "So what do you think? I mean, I guess I'm okay with it." I sighed slightly. This was gonna get awkward.

((Mine long too! XD))

[Atoli01]

I laughed a little at his enthusiasm at guarding me. I didn't expect it to be that easy to get mama to agree to the whole thing. Maybe it was just because Neku was a human. "Good. Just make sure the pathetic girl doesn't faint or anything like that. She has such a habit of doing that it isn't even funny." I let out a small awkward laugh as I glanced over at Neku.

"Alright, family meeting dismissed, then. We'll see Karin and her new boyfriend sometime soon. Just make sure you don't come back with a ring on your finger, dear. You know that's not allowed." Mama grinned at the last part, shaking her finger a little. "How many times do I hafta say it? He isn't my boyfriend!" It was getting tiring having to repeat myself over and over again.

Everyone started leaving the room--without even a goodbye Karin, mind you--except for Ren. Just as I was dreading he would, he came up to the two of us. "Karin, let me talk to this Neku guy for just a minute. Privately." I sighed when he had put an emphasis on private. I nodded, telling Neku it was okay and telling big brother that I wouldn't dare try to complain. I walked to the other side of the room, keeping a close eye on the two of them.

[auntslappy282]

"I'm aware..," I muttered underneath my breath, smiling slightly. I practically face palmed when she was talking about coming home being married. I looked at the woman and said, "I'm not even old enough to marry. Neither is she. Plus, were aren't in a relationship," I said. It was really, rather frustrating to hear this. Finally everyone left. I sighed, but my relief was killed.

The dude who I think was named Ren came up and told Karin he wanted to talk to me alone. I sighed, and scratched the back of my head and sighed. "Yo whats up?" I said, trying to be normal, and not scared or whatever. I put my hands behind my head and looked at him coolly.

((Perfect song for them. ^^ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1O9DyFLIKo&feature=autoplay&list=PLD9BA67064AC5C180&index=18&playnext=16))

[Atoli01]

{{Ren's POV for a second. Just 'cuz Karin can't hear it, and if she could, she would DIE. XDDD}}

I rolled my eyes at the little kid. "Well first off, stop trying to act cool," I told him. I was already irritated with him enough as it was. "And second, we can all see it. The way Karin looks at you. She's so dense that even she may not realize it. I get that you two might have just met, but that wouldn't stop her from falling for you, for god only knows what reason." I flipped my bangs back before continuing. "Like Carrela said, marriages between humans and vampires aren't allowed. Sure, one night flings are fine, but long term relationships are taboo in out society. Even blood donors, per se, are taboo. No matter what you end up feeling for the girl, don't give in. I care about her, and I don't want her being hurt even more. Besides, it could never work out anyways." I sighed and patted him on the shoulder before walking away. I would definitely be hearing more of this kid, no matter what I told him.

{{Aaaaand~ Luckily-not-dead Karin's POV again. xD}}

I glared at Ren as he walked past. I knew he told Neku something. And it had to be important to, since one, he wasn't that social, and two, he doesn't just talk as much as that just for the heck of it. He was never one for pleasant hellos. "Neku, Neku. What did he tell you?" I asked, running up to him. In a way, I was almost worried.

{{I didn't see a line in that song that wouldn't apply to them. *O* Now I'll be listening to that song whenever I type up replies for this roleplay. xD

EDIT: I was looking at more songs, and I found a really cute one. >3> It could like, totally be from Karin's POV in her Kuhna form or something. XDDD}}

[auntslappy282]

I sighed, when he began. I was already not looking forward to taking with him. I wasn't acting cool but I'd let him talk. When he went on about her falling for me, it made me even more want to go off on my own. I couldn't stand this. Then he flipped his bangs. Me? Trying to be cool? How about you dude? I sighed as he went on about feelings. He patted me on the shoulder and I flinched slightly. "I hate to tell you this, but I'm not in love with your sister. She's just a girl I met that wants out of this shallow house. I can relate, kinda. But you don't have to worry about your precise sister falling in love. You might have to worry about me breaking her heart, thats it." I muttered the last bit.

When Karin ran over, rather enthusiastic, I sighed. "It's none of your business. It was guy talk. You wouldn't understand it." I sighed and then headed towards the door. "Get what you need and meet me outside the house okay?" I said, hoping for some alone time to think everything over. It was gonna get tricky after this.

((I thought you might like it. ^^))

[Atoli01]

I glared at him when he refused to tell me. I was placing my bets that the two of them were talking about me. I couldn't really see any other reason that Ren would want to talk to a human. Well, other than to be a pervert vampire and getting blood from all of the girls, that is. "Okay! Will do Neku~" I told him, nodding. Right down the hall and up the stairs. I slid down the hallway right into my room, glancing around.

I took all the money I had from my desk and slipped it into my wallet, along with a necklace from papa. He said it was supposed to give you good luck, and extra luck never hurt anyone. I didn't want too pack too heavy, so it wasn't like I would bring clothes or anything. If anything, I could just buy a towel or a change of clothes while I washed mine. I looked over my room one more time before pulling a piece of paper and a pencil out.

Alright mama, papa, I'm going. I took the rest of the money out of my desk. Oh, and I'm bringing the necklace papa gave me. (Thank you, by the way!) I'll try and come back every so often, but I don't know. Oh, and just saying, Neku isn't my boyfriend! There's nothing between us, other than being good friends. Love you guys! <3
                                                                     

- Karin c: <3

I read over the note again and smiled. I dropped it on my desk and ran out of my room. I was almost to the door when I spotted Anju. "Oh, there you are. I thought you left already. Take this," she said to me, holding out a small whistle. "If you use it, Mokki will come. You remember, our bat? Be sure to write back often." I quickly took the whistle from her tiny hands and hugged her. "Thank you! I love you, Anju! Bye bye!" Anju simply nodded as I stepped back. I waved to her as I ran out the door and slipped the whistle into my pocket.

"Alright, Neku. I'm ready," I said, running up to him. I thought of Ren again; it was really bothering me for some reason. "Hey, Neku? Just ignore Ren. He might act like he knows me, but he doesn't. I'm not asking you to tell me what he said, but just take what he did say with a grain of salt." I sighed and started walking away from the house. I knew he told Neku something I would object to. I just knew it.

[auntslappy282]

I nodded as I watched her run up the stairs. I headed outside to catch a breather. I got lost in my music while I waited,. I watched the clouds flutter by and The trees sway in the gentle breeze. It was a nice day, yes. Something came walking up to me. It was a Shinigami. The one who enjoyed taunting me through out the game. "Hey there silly. It seems you've forgotten about Shiki. What if I told you she was coming back? She really does miss you." I shrugged it off. "If she finds me so be it. It's not like I'm dating this stupid vampire anyways," I muttered. She laughed and then waved goodbye and flew off. "Idiot."

My thoughts were torn out of my head when Karin ran out behind me and made me jump slightly. I turned to her and then looked at what she had. Nothing really. "Okay. You have everything? Is there anyone you want to say goodbye to first?" When she started talking about Ren again I laughed. "I wont take what he said with a  grain of salt. He had a valid point and he's just worried about you. Your lucky to have someone who cares for you," I said.

((Shinigami-http://static.gamesradar.com/images/mb/GamesRadar/us/Games/W/World%20Ends%20With%20You,%20The/Everything%20Else/WEWY-Yashiro1--article_image.jpg))

[Atoli01]

"I already said bye to Anju. And its not as if my brother would care anyways. I wrote a note to my parents, too, so its all fine." I smiled at him and pulled my necklace out of my pocket. I slipped it onto my neck and glanced down at the charm on it. A single red heart. It was shiny, and cute, and supposedly brought me good luck, so there was nothing bad about it.

I glared at him again at his response. "Listen, I don't know what exactly he told you, but nothing he says can be valid." I turned around so that I wasn't facing him. "If it was anything about me and being a stupid vampire, you already knew that. And if it was any stupid vampire rules... well, I don't care. Basically, as mama says, I'm a stupid, backwards vampire, so none of that stuff should apply to me, right?" I shook my head and turned back around. "Anyways, lets just get going, okay, Neku?"

[auntslappy282]

I listened to what she said and shrugged. She really didn't care for her brother did she? He seemed like a nice guy. I mean, she was lucky to have some one look after her and try to help her. She's lucky for that. I sighed and started walking away from the large house where Karins parents lived. And Her family that she had.

"I'm just saying, be lucky you have some one that cares for you and is looking out for your well being. I don't care about the Vampric laws and what not, but you need to look out for yourself and this appears to be something you don't do very well," I said with a slight grin on my face. If there was one quality about me that people hated, it was my poker face.

[Atoli01]

"Yeah, yeah. But Ren is a big meany butt! He's always tried to ruin things for me for as long as I could remember." Like tripping me and making me fall in the mud when I had just gotten a brand new dress for a wedding. Or convincing my parents not to let me go anywhere. God knows what he's done this time. "And anyways, I have you here to take care of me now, right?" I looked over at Neku and smiled. Although, doing that also meant that that wasn't the only time I would have to bite him.

"So~ Have fun, my knight!" I said jokingly, patting him on the back. Even I knew that keeping me safe wouldn't be any easy feat. I was quite demanding sometimes, and I always found some way to get into trouble. Plus, like everyone in my family said, I had a habit of fainting. Should be fun from here on out.
