After the party of Foxtrot

[Karita]

Karita grinned.

"Well, I like it. People actually get to see you aren't a twig, and actually have some muscles."

((Arg, so short. But it's almost 1 here, so you can't blame me. x.x))

[Zuki Tamaro]

(ha ha! It's almost 12 here. Don't worry.)

Zuki smiled and chuckled. "Alright. This will do then." He then took her hand. "The old outfit looks nice on you. I can't belive you still had it. The same shirt that I rescued you with." He kissed her and brought her hand towards him and began to walk along.

[Karita]

Karita nodded, following behind.

"Yea."

She simply said, sighing a bit.

"Zuki, why is it that day you even rescued me?"

[Zuki Tamaro]

Zuki stopped. He had a puzzled look upon his face. "I... I don't know. Maybe because... No... I actually don't know."

[Karita]

"Oh, I was just wondering.."

Karita said, pulling Zuki along.

"C'mon, lets get everyone to see the new you."

[Zuki Tamaro]

Zuki got towed along as he followed. "Okay okay!" He then caught up with her and smiled. "You really want the girls to be jealous, don't you?"

[Karita]

"Yup. Because...nevermind."

Karita said, thinking it was stupid. She just kept walking, wondering where everyone was. Usually, they were running around the castle.

[Zuki Tamaro]

Several maid stopped and stared. They looked at each other and gasped.

Zuki looked and grumbled. "Great. The maids that acts like they know everything..." He said with a sigh.

[Karita]

Karita grinned when she passed the maids, knowing that she and Zuki had changed would spread around the castle quickly.

[Zuki Tamaro]

Zuki looked foward and smiled. "I feel like a new me. I don't know why, but I feel like doing something. Let's go outside to the market. Blood vampires are bound to be out there, but they won't do anything."

[Karita]

Karita sighed.

"You DO have a big appetite now, don't you?"

She said, shaking her head sadly.

"Looks like the cooks are going to have to stock up on quadruple the mangos. And, how about we go find Ary?"

[Zuki Tamaro]

Zuki nodded. "Yes, and maybe our father too. I bet he's out there, commanding the soliders." He then took his chance to lead her towards the kitchen.

He then went through the doors of the kitchen and first spotted his mother. "Hi mom."

Ary was a little hard at working. "Hi Zuki, dear. I'm just preparing some mangoes for you. I know how much you love them." She said as she glanced over to look. She then gasped. "C-Can you speak... Again?"

"Yes mom, it's me, Zuki."

Her mouth hung open. "H...How? What happened? Did... Where did you get the skin transplant? And you look good son, my gosh!" She stabbed the knife into the cutting board and walked over to him and touched his face, then poked his chest.

"And you must be... Karita?" She touched her hair, then touched her face as well. "What happen to you guys?"

[Karita]

"We aren't sure, actually. And, Zuki didn't get a skin transplant. The grape color practically faded away last night..."

Karita said, trying not to flinch when Ary touch her. She only liked it when Zuki did.

"And, I was about to smash a vase on Zuki's head this morning since I didn't know who he was. and knowing him, he would've thrown me out the window.'

[Zuki Tamaro]

Ary was still shocked. "Well... That would be a little... harsh." She backed away. "How did your daughter take it? Has she awoken yet?"

Zuki thought a little. "I don't recall remembering seeing her up and around. Should we go check up on her, Karita?"

[Karita]

Karita shook her head.

"She's probably still asleep. And I don't want her in a cranky mood when we wake her up."

[Zuki Tamaro]

Zuki nodded. "Ya, it's best if she sleeps. I'm scared that she might bite me." He told her and took her hand again. He then grabbed a mango and bit into it. "You know, I haven't had a pint of blood for a week. I think I may need some blood soon." he said with a sigh. "Man, blood is nasty to get. Maybe that's why I always feel so hungry."

[Karita]

Karita rolled her eyes.

"Zuki, this is the third time I've told you. Your appetite has gotten larger. Trust me on the fact that the cooks will need to get quadrupel the mangoes that they have."

[Zuki Tamaro]

Zuki sighed. "Alright. We'll get those then. Pretty soon, the mangoes are going to taste plain and I wouldn't like them anymore." He led her outside of the kitchen and left outside of the castle. He then began walking down, noticing the guards staring at them. Zuki shrugged, knowing he would have to get used to being watched. Zuki looked at Karita. "Where should we go now to present ourselves?"

[Karita]

"Not sure. But personally, because of you, now I want blood."

Karita replied, snorting. She then noticed that everyone was staring more at Zuki then her. Of coarse, she had worn this outfit before. No one cared about wardrobe changes, just new looks, and cute guys to tell people about.

[Zuki Tamaro]

Zuki gritted his teeth. He wispered to her, "They are watching me..." Several women that were walking along looked at him with wide eyes, one seemed to smile and winked at him. No matter how mad Zuki looked, people just wanted to stare, and several girls just wanted to flirt. "This sucks... My old body was better. Everyone doesn't care about facial expressions..."

[Karita]

After a while, Karita practically felt depressed. One of the girls had blown a kiss to Zuki! She sighed, and stopped.

"Zuki, I...I'm going to head back to the castle...I'll get blood another day..."

With the, Karita turned around and started to walk quickly through the crowd of forming girls. Many of them shoved her out of the way, but Karita payed no mind as she pushed her way through.

If Zuki's happy, I'm happy...

She kept repeating, figuring he was. And as she walked quickly, faster than almost anything, she started to wish that the day she met Zuki, didn't come. At least then she wouldn't be miserable.

[Zuki Tamaro]

Zuki noticed the forming of girls and he looked around nervously. "Uuh... This isn't good."

"Oh! Look at him! He got muscles."

"Ya, and he is really cute too."

"Hey, that other girl left him. Maybe they were just friends."

"You mean he's open!? Ooh! I claim him!"

Zuki widened his eyes. "Karita!" He took off, trying to get out of their reaching hands. He ran as fast as he could towards the castle. "Karita! Help!"

The girls hollered and chased after him.

[Karita]

Karita reached the castle, and looked back. She felt tired, like she had ran. She didn't see Zuki, and she sighed, figuring a girl was flirting with him and he liked it. She enetered the castle, and immediately headed up the stairs to her room, scowling at those passing by. She then slammed the door when she got there, she pulled herself under the covers, covering her full body from head to toe.

[Zuki Tamaro]

Zuki ran to the castle and up the stairs, still being chased. "GUARDS! HELP!" The guards looked a little suprised and then noticed the mob. They got in front of them and blocked their path.

Zuki didn't even want to look back. He got all the way where Karita was at and opened then closed the door. He was breathing heavily. "Karita... I don't want to leave the castle anymore... I want to stay here forever where I will be safe and sound." His eyes showed of fear, like he has saw a ghost take a soul out of a body.

[Karita]

"Couldn't you just have bared you fangs and threatened to kill them all?"

Karita muttered, turning herself so she was facing away from her husband.

"Or yelled you were married?"

She then bundled herself up even more with the sheets.

"Or you just could've let them flirt with you. I'm sure there are plenty of more beautiful girls than me. Plenty. I don't mind if you have a second, third, or even forth wife. I really don't care."

Karita mainly whimpered the last part, trying to seclude herself from everything else.
