Dedication: Dragonroses, thank you for being a loyal reviewer!


Kaoru's POV

We were walking down a dark hallway, it was obviously night outside. It was a Victorian style house, old wooden furniture. Dark colors, ranging from maroon to black. Embroidered rugs, paintings of people I don't know, and just some painting of gardens. Ayami and I were talking about how I was on the soccer team and such, I haven't seen Kale since the encounter in the room though. Not like I care.

"Were almost there!' Ayami said, once we passed a large oak door. I heard giggling come from down the hall, and saw a familiar orange haired hyper teen, with a woman and a teen boy.

"MOMO!" I screamed, and her gaze shifted to me. Once she spotted me, she ran full speed towards me. Once she got close enough, she tackled hugged me. We landed on the floor with a THUD.

"KAORU! I MISSED YOU~ ARE YOU OKAY? DID ANYBODY HURT YOU?" Momoko kept going on, and on. If I don't get out of her grip soon, I'm going to suffocate.

"Let...go!" I managed to push her off of me, but she was still happy to see me.

"You ruin everything! I'm just glad I found you, I thought that you were killed for a second, and everybody was lying to me." Momoko pouted, and crossed her arms. I missed her too, but still she doesn't have to hug me to death.

"Whatever..." I muttered, she helped me up.

"Kaoru, I wonder where Miyako, Reika, and Yuki are! I bet their alive too. Maybe their with the boys?"

"Probably, I swear to god, if they hurt them in any way, I will totally stake them." I clenched my hand to make a point, and Momoko rubbed her chin, deep in thought.

"Does that kill vampires..?"

"OF COURSE IT DOES YOU IDIOT!" Really? I mean shes supposed to be the freaking smart one!

"Um..we really need to get to the dining room..." This young teenage guy said awkwardly. Forgot there were people here. I looked at Ayami, who was tapping her wrist meaning it was time to go too.

"Before we go, this is Ayami. My servant." I heard Ayami mutter something, and I just smirked. Momoko nodded happily, then she pointed to a grown woman.

"Shes Amaryliss, " She moved her finger to the boy "And hes Kimiharu."

"Now we are done with introductions. I think its about time you escort Kaoru, and Momoko to the dining room, right?" Kale popped up out of nowhere, glaring down at all four of us. Momoko squeaked, and hid behind me, while Amaryliss just nervously scratched the back of her head, and laughed. Kimiharu just shrugged, and Ayami just crossed her arms.

"Obviously we are about to do that, don't get your panties in a bunch!" Ayami started to push me down the hall, with my heels grinding into the floor. I did not want to go see that perverted vampire! Momoko ran after me, and Kale followed. Kimiharu and Amaryliss, followed behind Kale, and were secretly hoping they wouldn't get a strike for this. Momoko and I stopped in front of a huge white door as we were instructed. The knob was shiny silver, and it looked so fancy. How could the Ruffs snag a place like this? Its not POSSIBLE! Kale and Amaryliss came around, and opened the doors for us. Momoko was amazed, and I wasn't impressed. The dining room was a grand hall, with a long serving table that could fit from 8-10 people, and many chairs circled around it. Music was heard from somewhere, which I thought was pretty cheesy. We walked in, and our feet made pitter-patter sounds while we made our way to the long table. Nobody else was in here, and our friends had already left us.

"Amazing...its so big!" Momoko awed, her head going from left to right. I blankly looked around, still not impressed. Really? I've seen better on T.V.

"Psh, yeah right." I muttered. Momoko playfully hit me on the arm, and I glared at her. I was not in the mood. I just want to go back to bed, or go home. Either one.

"Well, I can say you could go back to bed, but I can't generally say you will be sleeping" Butch winked at me, and appearing in front of me. I jumped back surprised, and scowled at him.

"DAMN PERVERT! STAY OUT OF MY HEAD!" I barked at him. He just smirked. I will someday smack that expression right off his face. I saw him snicker, and I could tell that he had read my mind once again. Stupid Butch. My attention went to Momoko, who was being harassed by Brick. I think he kept whispering in her ear about her being pretty or something like that, making Momoko go red and getting embarrassed.

"Let's sit down, Cutie-pie~" What the hell? When the heck did we get "pet names". Butch sat down at one of the seats, and I was about to sit next to him, but he pulled me onto his lap. Now I'm pissed. I raised my fist up to punch him straight in the jaw, but I suddenly felt faint. My head started to throb, and I felt sick to my stomach.

Okay seriously, I'm going to barf.

My mind kept going from black to reality. It was giving me a headache. I heard Butch say something about "Damn, she started earlier then expected.", but it was far away. Through the dizziness, I tried to clutch my stomach. But was hoisted up onto what I believe is Butch's shoulder. I tried to struggle, but my legs felt like Jello, and my arms like Silly Putty. My head felt light headed. I finally lost consciousness when Butch kicked open a door.


Momoko's POV

Buttercup was dying, I think. She just started to stir, and then her head slammed onto the table, Butch picked her up, threw her over his shoulder, and left mad. She didn't look too good.

"Momoko, my darling, why are you not looking at me?" I looked at the vain bastard that I was stuck with. I remember when we were little, and he used to brag about how cool he was, and how we stood no chance against them. That wasn't true then, wish I could say the same thing now.

"Cherry Blossom, why don't you sit down and try to eat?" I raised a eyebrow. How do I know this food isn't poisoned or something? Why the heck am I here? Why does he look like he wants something from me? Why do I have a bad feeling in my stomach? Brick had grabbed me by the wrist, and dragged me to the table, sat me down, and sat next to me. The something dawned on me.

"Why haven't you read my mind yet?"

"Good question, but I'm not answering." He smirked at me, without turning his head. I knew he was smirking at me, since he was looking at me with the corner of his eye. I glared and pouted at the same time, it that's possible.

The door slammed open to reveal a panting Yuki, and a couple girls slammed the door shut. Leaving Yuki inside, and them outside. What is going on? WAIT! OH MY GOSH ITS YUKI! I squealed, jumped up, but was roughly sat back down by Brick's large hands. What...?

"What gives..?"

"You WILL stay by me, and pay attention to me." I stared into his red eyes for a moment, and they turned blood red for a second. My mind went blank for a moment, and then I had no desire to go and hug Yuki. She looked at me confused, and then glared at Brick.

"Why are we here?" She asked.

"Because we want to eat dinner, duh!" Brick smirked at Yuki's hardened glare.

"No...you know what I mean...why are we HERE? IN a freaking castle!" Yuki glared, loudest I've ever heard her talk. Brick shrugged, and said something about Uncle Hendrick. Who the heck is that? Who names their kid Hendrick?

I let out a snicker, and Brick looked at me like I was stupid. Which I'm not! I just choose not to try!

"It's a nice castle..." I put my finger to my chin, and Yuki face-palmed.

"Just wow..." It's not my fault its so amazing! WHY THE HECK CAN I NOT GET OUT OF THIS SEAT? It's like my butt is glued to the chair. I glared at Brick for a moment, he has something to do with this.

"So, Where did we leave off..." Brick started. I'm seriously going to be as dead as Brick is right now, by the time I leave this place. Hes just so boring! I puffed out my cheeks and shook my head.

"Your a meanie~~"

"MOMOKO THIS IS NOT A TIME TO BE PLAYING AROUND! WE ARE BEING HELD CAPTIVE IN A FREAKING CASTLE, AND ALL YOU CAN THINK ABOUT IS FLIRING?" Yuki's voice rang through out the whole room, and probably castle.

"I'm not flirting! AND IF I WAS, DEFINITELY NOT WITH HIM!" I jabbed my thumb in the direction of Brick, who glared. Oh, I hurt his feelings. Note my sarcasm!

"Ben, your mate is acting up, punish her." Brick's voice sounded so cold, and when I looked back at him, his face was serious. It was a different expression then I had seen before. Ben, now showing himself from behind the curtains, sighed and grabbed Yuki's wrist.

"It's already bad enough I had to chase you, now you decide to make trouble for other people as well? I guess I have no choice." Yuki looked scared for a moment, and when she was getting pulled out of the room, she looked at me for help. I sat there, frozen in shock. By the time they had reached the door, I had stood up quickly; my chair falling backwards, and tried to run after her. Brick made that impossible by ordering me to stand down, and resume eating dinner. I've finally found out what kind of power he has, or at least one.

His power is command.


Miyako's POV

It was silent the most of the time we had walked to the large doors that led into the dining room. Rika and Bandit had gone in a few moments ago, and Brick and Momoko were already in there. I tried to talk to Rika, but Bandit had glared and pulled her in before I could utter a single sound.

"Come on, Miyako." Boomer tugged on my sleeve, and pulled me in. Momoko was smacking Brick, Rika was trying to stab Bandit with her fork. Okay...

"Hi everyone!~" Boomer's happy voice interrupted the arguments, and the two boys at the table waved at the youngest brother.

"Boomer, you finally made it! Butch, and Ben had some thing to work out. I'm sure Ben will be here later, but I'm not so sure about Butch." Bandit said, trying to settle Rika down. Momoko finally noticed me, and was waving. I wanted to go hug her, but that would cause too much trouble.

"I heard what happened to Butch, I hope Kaoru feels better. Its only a matter of a few hours until it happens to these three. Do tell though, what happened with Ben?" Kaoru? What happen to her? She was here? I tried to get Boomer's attention, but he was to busy talking to Bandit and Brick.

"Oh, his mate was acting up. Shes getting the treatment." Brick flicker his wrist, and checked the time on his watch. It didn't faze him at all. Treatment? Wait, isn't Yuki his mate?

"What happened to Yuki?" I asked, and tightly gripped Boomer's forearm. He had shrugged it off, and went to sit down next to Bandit. Then he gestured to me to sit down as well.

Once I did, Momoko didn't wait a second to greet me, and try to reach over and hug me. With Brick stopping her unfortunately. Boomer was acting more distant then he has been, its really weird and scary. His friendliness is fading it seems. The door to the room opened again, and I heard heavy steps behind me.

A old man, with white scruffy hair, a friendly smile, glassed, and a white mustache sat down next to Momoko, and across from me.

"Good day." He said, and bowed his head respectively at each of us. I nodded my head, and was still confused.

"Where's Ben and Butch?" His friendly smile didn't fade. Boomer, Bandit, and Brick all looked nervous.

"They...c-couldn't...make it..." Bandit said, he was sweating, and looking everywhere but the guy's face. The old man was still smiling, but he stabbed his fork so hard into the table, it shook.

"Is that so...? Looks like I have to talk to them about being ON TIME." He said happily. Momoko leaned away from him, scared. She looked about ready to pee herself, and I think I already did. The only person who wasn't panicking, was Rika, who did the most stupidest thing in the world.

"Hey Old Man, pass me the salt." Oh God, kill me now!.


Yawn, I'm tired. You'll know more when I update the next time!
