🧛💞 AU. A young woman gets stood up, and she thinks it was part of a prank from her so-called 'date.' Luckily, she meets Daniel LaRusso (who happens to be an ethical vampire) some time after.

The "Setup for Humiliation" meant that the date was a setup for public humiliation, while the "No-Show" was where the date had made it a point to not show up, and see how long his (or her) date would be waiting for him (or her). Of course, as she also knew, the "No-Show" was different from Stood Up, which was where the date had intended to show up, but was either late or otherwise unable to make it.
Well, in this case, it was definitely the former. He was waiting to see how long I would wait here for him to show up while he had a good laugh at my expense, me being the poor sap that I turned out to be. And to be honest, it looks like he succeeded, too.

"Hello, my dear Stephanie," said a voice.
Stephanie blinked and looked around, only to see the owner of the voice (who somehow knew her name) walking over to her. His outfit consisted of an authentic red kimono, blue jeans that seemed to go on and on over his legs, and sneakers on his feet. Tied around his head was none other than the well-known Tenugui blue & white Lotus-flower headband.
Shock suddenly pulsed through her as she realized it was none other than Daniel LaRusso from the first 3 Karate Kid films.
She looked around, only to notice with a small feeling of horror that she and Daniel were the only ones in the subway station — although she had to admit, it was kind of a bit thrilling for her at the same time.
Before she knew it, Daniel, his fangs gleaming in his smirk, had her up against the wall. She could only blink as she noticed he caged her with his hands on either side of her head. "Forget about that guy who was supposed to be your so-called 'date' but actually tricked you," he commanded, a dangerous look forming in his eyes (which she'd seen before in her dreams). "Spend time with me instead."
She swallowed, doing her best to keep her fear at bay. "And if I spend time with you... what will we do?"
Daniel's smirk got a bit wider as one of his hands stayed where it was, while the other then strayed down to her hip before lifting her leg a little so he could wrap it around his waist. Then he began the process of switching his hands, and his right hand lifted her other leg so it joined its mate.
"Oh, I can think of some things for us to do," he replied, his words coming out in a purr like a cat's while simultaneously causing a shiver to run down her spine.
Deep down, Stephanie had a feeling she knew exactly what he meant. And boy, do I know. But how is he able to hold me up so easily like this with no effort?
As if reading her thoughts, Daniel smiled and then whispered in her ear, "I tend to have the strength of ten men... or maybe even more."
She shuddered at the sultriness of his words in her ear, while mentally blinking partly in surprise and partly in puzzlement at how he explained his sudden strength so well.
Maybe he had a gift for that kind of thing. Or she could call it a talent. Or perhaps it was both of those things. She wasn't sure which. But there's one thing I do know — this night is never going to be the same for me.
