I'll Be The Spider, You Be The Fly And Get Caught In My Web Finally! Thats all Saki could think when she entered the city, she had made it. She had only been away from her brother for a week and she was already missing him. Knowing he was in another country broke her heart and worst of all he took Sophia with him! How dare he, but she was going to forgive him simply because he was her brother and she had come to stay with him. Saki was dressed in a black singlet top, black hot pants with bright pink fluffy leggings, pink converse shoes and long chunky necklaces. As she walked down the main street her suitcase which thankfully had wheels was being dragged behind her. Somewhere in this city her brother was living, all she had to do was find out where. She had managed to book the flight to get here, pack her things and get a fake passport. She even managed to get money out and get it exchanged into the US dollar the only thing she didn't think through was getting a new mobile phone and a map. Saki was lost, she had been wandering around the city trying to just find Yusuke. It sounded like a good plan when she first started but now she had managed to find the arcade. Other teenagers were running around having a good time, but Saki knew her brother wouldn't be here. "Nani?" She said when she saw the dance machine was unoccupied, grinning she forgot about her older brother and ran over to it, suitcase following her. Pulling out some loose change she stuck it into the machine and set the level to hard. As the music began and the arrows began to pop up Saki began to step on each pad, never missing a beat.

It wasn't late in the day, not yet. No, there was still enough light to see people out. Kids were running around and adults were shopping or searching for their kids. Well, most adults were anyway. Some were just walking, heading home or elsewhere. The sun would soon be setting, which would signal the people that it was time to turn in, to get out of the streets before the streets were cloaked in darkness. Until then, there would be plenty of people out, enjoying themselves, having fun.
She'd decided to go out and maybe have some sort of childish fun, take her mind off of what had been happening the last couple of nights, and just be silly and childish. So, she'd gotten dressed, planning for the rest of the day. Pants that flared slightly after the knee, socks and sneakers, a plain gray t-shirt, and a dark jacket with pockets. Nothing remarkable to catch the eye with. Her hair was pulled back in a high pony tail and had an empty black purse at her hip.
Krystal's feet carried her to the arcade. It was a large building with children flowing in and out of it, almost chaotically. A few adults were in the crowd, either pulling their kids out or searching for them. She wasn't going to be one of those "normal" adults. She was going in to have some sort of fun. Krystal waded through the crowd of people, making her way through the doors. The sound once she was inside was nothing compared to the sound outside - it was quite loud with many games. She smiled happily, like a child would
Krystal glanced around and spotted another person that wasn't a child, and wasn't looking for a child. She was on the dancing game, what was it called... well, it didn't matter. She was good, whatever game it was. Krystal knew she wasn't good at the game, and that wasn't the easy mode, if the amount of arrows and the speed were any judge. Krystal stood, watching in slight awe.
When the song was done, she gave a few claps, applauding the womans' skill. She wished she could be that good at a video game.

I'll Be The Spider, You Be The Fly And Get Caught In My Web Saki continued on dancing, unaware of the woman behind her. When playing this game she lost all other senses, she was too focused on the game to be worried about hunters, werewolves or other vampires. It was when the song ended that she heard someone clapping, the young vampire turned around to see a lovely blond standing there. She was the one aplauding her gaming skills. Saki's lips turned upward and into a huge grin, the other woman reminded her of Sophia the only difference was this was wasn't a slave. If her older brother had ever met this womam, Saki knew for certain she wouldn't be standing here now unless he was playing some sick game. "Arigato." She thanked the woman, giving her a small bow. Her voice sounded childish and made her seem very fragile when in fact she was anything but. As her mother use to say, never judge a book by its cover and Saki lived by that, making people believe she was innocent when she had a darker side. "Wanna Play?" Saki offered and was more then willing to put the extra money in and play an easier level. She might have been good but she loved teaching people how to play the dance master. "We'll do an easy level..." Again she offered hoping the woman would accept. After all Saki needed to make friends and what better way then in a place like the arcade.

The woman turned and grinned at her, and Krystal smiled back at her. She seemed nice enough, but looks could be deceiving. It was the lesson that was the hardest to learn, being a hunter. Especially if it was a person you'd known a time before you had to hunt them. You had a crush on them, they'd been your best friend for years, anything you could think of. Then, once they were found out for what they were, the hunters felt the need to kill them. They might not have even been doing anything wrong, but they were a vampire or a werewolf, so they were automatically guilty.
"Arigato." The woman told her, followed by a small bow. Her voice made her think of a child, which made Krystals' smile a little wider. There was no way this woman could ever be mistaken for a child. No, definitely not.
"You're quite welcome." Krystal responded to her, what she assumed, thanks. She didn't know the language, not even the minor bits that many others knew. She probably should look in to learning what those words meant, since she'd been dealing with a man who spoke the language, and had been promised more such encounters. Ugh, just thinking of him made her skin crawl, and she forcibly changed her thoughts to something else.
"Wanna play?" The girl offered. "We'll do an easy level..." She said, and she sounded hopeful. Why not? It would help her mind move off of topics she'd rather not think about. She wasn't very good though, even on the easy levels, and she didn't think it would be polite to not inform her of that fact.
"Only if you don't mind that I'm not very good." Krystal told her with a slight laugh, stepping forward to join the woman on the machine.

I'll Be The Spider, You Be The Fly And Get Caught In My Web When the woman smiled Saki couldn't help but feel happy. Her father had told her that American's were mean but there was proof right in front of her. The fact that she was human didn't phase Saki, human or werewolf didn't matter. Hunters however, were fun to play with but they didn't have much humour. Saki had completely forgotten about contacting her brother to let him know she was in the same city as him. She forgot about buying another mobile phone, though in all honesty she thought her phone from Japan would work. It wouldn't be until after she had her fun at the arcade that she would remember. When the other finally accepted but informed her that she wasn't good, Saki shook her head. "Its all good, I can teach you." Her english wasn't exactly perfect like her brothers but she still managed to get the message across. Once the other was on the machine Saki pushed the coins into the small slot, selecting an easy level before turning to a fellow gamer. "When the arrows get to this point..." She said pointing to the blond's screen, "Thats when you put your foot down on the pads near your feet. Its about timing." She had only explained the basics behind the game. Where as in Japan it was somewhat of a sport, people would gather to see who could get the highest score. "Ready?" Saki grinned as she turned to face the screen the song soon began. There were hardly any arrows compared to when she was playing it. But right now it wasn't about the challenge it was about trying to make a new friend within the city.
