My jaw dropped at hearing his dare. Oh god, I would never want to do another dare, ever, ever again. Maki, on the other hand, was cracking up. "A-are you trying to traumatize me, Neku? And Ren?" I sighed and walked over to the desk on the other side of the room and grabbed a piece of paper off of the desk, along with a black pen. Ren would probably be so, so confused after this. Even he was going to know that the stuff on the paper wasn't true in the least.

Ren - Oh, you're the most amazing big brother ever, and I've always admired you. Admired how horribly mean you are to me, and how you womanize practically every girl you look at. Oh, and have I ever mentioned how much I love and adore you?  You're the most awesome person ever!

- With lots of love, Karin! <3

I folded it into a paper airplane and threw it at Neku, hitting him right in the head. "Is that good? You know how traumatizing this is?! I'd much rather wear whatever Maki wants me to wear!" I said, glancing between the two of them. "Oh, so that means that I can stick you in whatever pajamas I want?" I shook my head quickly and stuck my tongue out at Maki. "No!" I yelled at her, a blush spreading across my cheeks again. "Well, why don't we go ahead and go to sleep after this? Well, after Karin gets changed of course." I glared at her, but nodded slightly. I was getting tired.

I started laughing when she threw the letter at my head. Come on, it wasn't that bad. I laughed. "Haha, its fine you don't have to send this," I said with a laugh. I crumpled it up and threw it in the trash can next to the door. "Yeah, sounds good," I said standing up and heading out of the room so the kids could get dressed.

Once I got to the room, I looked at the window. It, unfortunately did have a screen on it so I wouldn't be able to sneak out of it. I sighed. Looked like I would have to go through the living room, and deal with a confrontation with the lady of the house. I was a little worried to say the least. I sighed and sat down on the bed, just listening to my own music.

[Atoli01]

I let out a sigh of relief when he said I didn't have to send it. If I actually had to, I think I would've died of embarrassment. At least Neku didn't take the thing completely seriously. "Oh come on, that's no fun~! But whatever. Let me just grab the pajamas out of me and Hibiki's room." I glared at her a bit but nodded, and once Neku left the room, laid down on the bed and buried my head in the pillow. She wasn't going to let me hide under the covers when Neku came back in, was she?

I sighed once I heard the door open, and the familiar chime of her voice. "Alright Karin! Up up! You've gotta get changed!" I started to get up, but instead I had clothes thrown right in my face. "I'll turn the other way while you get dressed, but be sure to put it on!" I sighed and stood up, dragging the clothes along with me. I slipped mine off and replaced them with the pajamas Maki gave me.

They didn't seem that bad. Until I looked in the mirror. It was a long sleeved yellow top with a pocket on one side and light brown paw prints lining the bottom of the collar, sleeve, and shirt. The shorts matched, too. Sounded okay, right? No. The shirt showed a little of my stomach, and if the shorts were any shorter, you would clearly be able to see my underwear! "I-I'm changed," I told Maki, blushing a bit. This just exposed way too much!

Maki turned around a grin on her face. "Just as I thought. It fits me just about the same way! Hehe, I'm sure Neku won't be able to resist you~!" I was sure any white that I still had left on my face was red now. "D-don't say things like that, Maki!" She just shrugged, obviously ignoring me. "Neku~ You can come in now!" I quickly crawled under the covers, making sure no a single piece of the outfit was showing. Gosh, how more awkward could Maki make it?

[auntslappy282]

When I heard my name called from the other room, I walked in, and saw Karin underneath the covers. I smiled slightly, just because of how cute she was. I took my phone out of my pocket and placed it in the charger. I took my iPod and did the same thing. I took off my headphones after pausing the music and hooked it up to the charger.

I didn't really pay much attention the Karin, I knew she must be embarrassed because of something. I checked the windows in this room too, and, unfortunately, still screened. I sighed slightly and sat down in a chair that was in the room. I wasn't quiet sure what would happen now though.

[Atoli01]

Maki grinned a little when Neku came into the room, but that quickly turned into a smirk once he sat down. All of the sudden, I felt her push me off of the bed and I stumbled out of the covers, just lucky I caught my balance. "Alright, my work is done here! See you two tomorrow morning!" Maki laughed a little and ran out of the room, giving me thumbs up as she shut the door. Waaaah, what did she expect me to do anyways?!

It took me a few seconds to realize that Neku could fully see my pajamas now, considering I didn't have even a single piece of the blanket covering me. I quickly pulled the covers off of my bed and sat down in the corner, quickly pulling them over me. "Sorry. It was all Maki's stupid idea," I said with a sigh, still huddled up in the corner. I was guessing this outfit was supposed to be cute... for eight year olds who actually fit in it right. It was tight on me and hugging basically every single curve I had on my body! Oh, I knew that my cheeks were as red as a tomato by now.

[auntslappy282]

I jumped up when Maki pushed Karin to the floor, I was a defensive little boy wasn't I? I sighed, and then smiled when I saw what Karin was wearing. Yeah, I had to admit, it was cute on her. It didn't shock me much, probably because Shiki wore that, and a little less in fact, every single day I was with her in the game. It was kinda cute how defensive she was though.

I walked over to her, and smiled. "Ya know, you look cute in that," I said with a smile. I gave her a quick kiss and then picked her up and put her on the bed. She was rather light to say the least. I sat down on the foot of the bed and I smiled at her. She was just so cute being all protective like that.

[Atoli01]

When I heard Neku's voice, I couldn't help but blush a little bit. He thought I was actually cute? Oh, thank you, Maki. I still kind of felt uncomfortable in this outfit though, no matter what Neku said. I mean, I practically never wore outfits this small! I smiled a little though when Neku kissed me and laid me back down on the bed. I don't think my face couldn't really get any redder than it was already anyways.

I pulled the blanket up over me slightly, not bothering to cover my whole body now. If he thought I was cute, then... I looked over at him and smiled a little. "I... I love you, Neku." I muttered quietly. I put my hands under my head, just to prop it up a little, and closed my eyes. Grandma could probably tell that there was something between us, but whatever. I wasn't going to let anyone tell me who I could and couldn't fall in love with.

[auntslappy282]

I smiled when she shyly said she loved me. I smiled softly and then nodded. "I love you too," I said softly. I leaned over and kissed her gently on the cheek and then got up off of the bed, quietly. I went over to sit on the chair, just because I didn't want to disturb her by sleeping on the bed with her.

I looked over at my iPod and went ahead and grabbed it off the charger playing some of my music and just waiting till she would fall asleep. I closed m eyes and put my head phones on. I stretched slightly. It sure had been a long day, and god knew what would happen tomorrow. I don't know if I was excited or scared.

[Atoli01]

I opened my eyes and smiled at Neku, just happy that I could be here with him. I knew Maki was a little weird, and that, well, my grandma was way out there, but I still hoped that everyone could get along. I sighed happily and closed my eyes again, rolling onto my side and slipping one of my hands under my pillow. If only Neku could come and cuddle with me. No, no, no. That wasn't every night. Wasn't like a schedule or anything.

I let my mind wander, but it ended up drifting back to thoughts of today. That vampire slayer girl was really bothering me, though. There was just something about her that told me that she wasn't fooling around at all, and I didn't like that. But grandma had seemed so calm when she heard about it! Well, either way, it wouldn't make any difference worrying about it now. "Night, Neku," I muttered, quickly falling asleep.

[auntslappy282]

I muttered night to her before she fell asleep. I unplugged my phone from the charger and then grabbed it and put it in my pocket. I'd probably just wander around the beach and find a place to sleep. There was no way I would sleep here. I just felt to uncomfortable to do that. Maybe I'd try to find the slayer, Fuyko. I could get some info on her if I tried.

I stood up slowly and made my way towards the door. I made sure to be quiet because I didn't want to wake Karin. I creaked the door open slightly, looked up and down the hallway and very quietly snuck out, shutting the door as quietly as I possibly could. I took a deep breath. There was no way I would be able to leave with out being confronted by the Grandma. I stepped slowly into the living room, hoping for the best. I tried to be as quiet as possible.

[Atoli01]

Well, all that noise had certainly died down. Had quite a crowd here tonight, it seemed. A vampire, a half-vampire, and somehow... we ended up with a human here, too. Honestly, what was Karin thinking? I knew she was more of a day vampire, but did that mean she had to let a human know about us? And by the looks of it, to even fall in love with a human. I had made that mistake long ago, and I didn't want my dear Karin to suffer that same cruel fate.

I continued humming and dusting off a couple of things around the house. Dust wasn't good for vampires, either. I picked up one of my old antiques, but almost dropped it when I heard a noise just a little ways away. I grumbled and put it down, looking for  the source of the noise. Oh, of course. That human boy. Neku, was it? Or something like that anyways.

"And where exactly are you going?" I stared at him for a few minutes before resuming my cleaning. Had to get some things here and there done before I headed out for the night, and I most definitely wasn't going to be disturbed by this human. If I remembered right, Makoto took care of the dishes she used, so that was at least one other thing off of my list. "Well either way, run off. Just be back before sunrise. I don't want to have to deal with Karin complaining right before bed time."

[auntslappy282]

I stopped in my foot steps when the grandma was still wandering around. I looked at her a littler wide eyed and then quickly answered her question. "Just a stroll. A normal thing for me," I said, a little scared. A sigh of relief escaped my mouth when she told me to go and just be back by sunrise. "Yes ma'am. I'll stay out of your hair I promise," I said, quickly making my way to the door. I closed it quietly behind me and then took a deep breath of fresh night air. It was cool and beckoned me to it. The ocean was also beautiful, twinkling in the moon light.

I wandered around the beach a little and then decided to make my way toward the local library. I really didn't expect it to be open at the hour, but I could do some research on the group from earlier. I wandered around the lifeless city all who were out were drunks and people having way to much fun with there lives. It sickened me slightly, to tell you the least. Thats when a women caught my eye.

Her hair was in a sort of dreadlocks style, and she was really beautiful to say the least, and she didn't seem drunk. She carried a hand bag and was walking swiftly down the street. I quickly followed her, though I didn't make it to obvious. When she got to the line of apartments, she entered one and then I stood outside. I heard a greeting and looked up at the open window. It was the girl... And Fuyko. I smirked. Perfect.

I listened for a few seconds to there conversations, conversing about the vampires she found today and how they were gonna go slay them tomorrow. She seemed slightly interested, and then closed the window, commenting about how she wasn't feeling to well, and didn't want to catch a  cold. I smiled and then made my way back down to the ocean. It was beautiful, and just made me want to sit there forever. With out me even realizing, I fell asleep, laying in the warm sand and the ocean spray on my body.

I was awoken when the sun began to rise, its rays shining off the ocean. I quickly got up, dusted off my pants and made my way back to the house. I had gotten some sleep at least, and well, got away for a bit and gotten some info. I stretched and then opened the door slowly peaking in, only to find the beloved grandma. I walked in slightly and waited for a few minuted in case she wanted to talk or something.

[Atoli01]

I was quite taken off guard by how polite this boy was. I mean, most humans were cold hearted, and would just step all over your feelings. Like Alfred. But something about this boy just seemed different. He stuck out from the rest, in a way, but I couldn't quite place my finger on it as to why exactly. Come to think of it, part of his politeness could have just come from fear, but either way...

I kept cleaning the house for a little while after the boy left, still trying to make up my mind about him. After a while, I put the cleaning supplies away and grabbed my umbrella, heading out the door. I doubted that stupid vampire slayer would come right now, of all times. Either way, I needed some more blood. Being locked in a basement for ten stupid years took a tole on a vampire's body.

I walked for a few minutes, right over to the bar that I knew all too well. I ignored the stares I got from the men and walked right over to the counter. "The usual?" I nodded at the man behind the counter as he lead me to a special room in the back. It was a place several vampires in the area frequented, so it was convenient to have a place we could get our blood without any suspicion. And besides, they literally supplied out kind blood. For free. I didn't have time to get my hands dirty with humans.

I sat down in the chair in the room and focused on the TV. After a few minutes, the man brought me a wine glass, specially for me, filled with blood. I only took a couple minutes to drink the whole thing and once I did, I strolled out of the bar, again ignoring the staring guys. I wasn't in the mood to walk around the town tonight. There was a little bit of a sickening feeling in the air.

It was a couple more hours of doing nothing in particular before the boy strolled back into the house. "Welcome back. I see you're pretty good with your timing. Anyways, I'm going to bed. Now act like you're asleep of something before Karin wakes up, or I'll never hear the end of it." I started walking up the stairs, heading up to my room. But before I did, I turned around and glanced back at the boy. "Just because she's a vampire don't mean her heart is made out of stone. I'm giving you one chance. Don't screw it up."

[auntslappy282]

I smiled softly at the concern of the grandmother. "Trust me, I'm good at it by now," I said with a smile. "Night," I said politely. I snuck quietly down the hall and into the room where Karin was sleeping, probably for another few hours. It was, just now, the crack of dawn. I plugged my phone and turned my iPod in and plugged it in as well, and turned around.

I yawned slightly, turned into my Palwockee form and jumped silently onto the bed and curled up into a ball next to Karin. It was warm from where she had been sleeping. I could still feel some sand in my hair, but I would ignore it for the time being. I smiled slightly and drifted off into a sleep of some kind or another.

[Atoli01]

{{Back to Karin's POV~ :3}}

I woke up the next morning with a large yawn, still quite tired. Yesterday was a long day, so it wasn't any surprise, I guess. I looked over next to me and smiled a little bit. So I guess Neku did decide to sleep with me last night? I curled up a little closer to him, trying to disturb him as little as I possibly could. I did wonder why he never slept with me in his human form, though. Well, whatever.

I looked outside the window for a minute before closing my eyes again. I wonder if Maki was up yet? I know grandma would already be asleep by this hour. I didn't quite know what time it was--and I didn't feel like checking right this minute--but basically every vampire was asleep by the time the sun came up this much. I yawned again, but I decided against getting up right now. I was still tired, and plus, the peace and quiet was a nice change of pace.
