Author's Note: I just had to continue the development of Ju's storyline this week. Besides, we hadn't heard much from the clan this season. Well, here is most of everyone in this match. I am still trying to figure out what I am doing for the Hetalia part of the Halloween special. I have the idea but I need to put it together. I already know what the next two matches will be. For now, enjoy this week's match.


Match Fifteen: Family Meeting:

The next morning, Yao wandered down to the den. When he woke up this morning, Ju wasn't in bed beside him. A confused look came over his face.

"Ju?" he asked. Yao climbed out of bed and began his walk through the house to look for his wife.

"Ju? Ju?" he asked. When he came down to the den, a confused look came over his face. His wife sat on the couch holding Jing tightly to her chest. She had her jaw clinched with an angry scowl on her face.

"Ju? Baby? What's the matter?" he asked. Ju looked up at him with a cold look in her eyes. He caught her muttering under her breath.

"What did you say?" Yao asked.

"That bitch broke into our house," Ju growled. Her husband looked so confused.

"What?" he asked. She looked like a demon in her eyes.


The whole clan met up in the main house. Ju wouldn't let go of her baby. She didn't care about how she would sound.

"Someone is stalking us," the clan leader said. "This woman's daughter broke into my house this morning." The clan all stared at her.

"But how was that possible?" Yao asked. "There was nothing on the camera."

"I don't know," Ju said. "Magic. Something. I don't know! This can't happen anymore!" Yao patted her on the arm. She flinched away from him. Everyone listened with sympathetic ears.

"What did this woman look like?" Hen-to asked. Ju took a breath.

"Curly black hair, dressed like she came out of Victorian England, and she wore all black," she said. "She said her name was Hecate Mayfair. She said that Allison was her mother."

"Mayfair?" Bik asked. Ju cocked her head.

"You heard of that name?" she asked.

"Vaguely," the nurse said.

"How are we going to deal with the security?" Wan asked. The living room went silent. Yao started to say something but went quiet. Could he say this?

"What is it, Yao?" Fei asked. All eyes turned their focus on Yao. He sat up straighter in his chair.

"Maybe we should put up charms around the house," he said. No one said a word at first. Yao looked around and the rest of the clan.

"Too much?" he asked.

"How would you do that?" Bik asked. Yao took a moment to think. Ju kept her gaze locked on him. The baby started to squirm in her arms. She bounced him in her arms, shushing him.

"I know a place," Hark said. All eyes fell on her.

"Lili and I found this small medicine shop in Shanghai," she said. "They sell herbs, powders, liquids, and charms." Lili grabbed her hand.

"We think we can get some items to keep out witches," he added. Ju blinked so confused.

"Wait… hold up," she said. "Witches?" The older adults had sheepish looks on their faces at first. Bik pressed her lips together.

"They think that witches are following you for some reason," Mei said.

"What?!" Ju asked. Wan hit her thigh under the table.

"Ow," Mei said through clenched teeth.

"Couldn't you have delivered that with a little more tact?" her mother asked.

"What? By beating around the bush with it?" the younger woman asked. "They have to know."

"There's a gentler way of doing that, you know?" Wan said. Mei rolled her eyes and wrinkled her nose.

"Like you would know what tact is," she muttered under her breath. Her mother whipped her head around.

"What did you say?!" she snapped. Hen-to loudly cleared his throat. Mother and daughter went quiet.

"Anyway," Hen-to said. "We'll check out this shop and work from there."

"Wait!" Ju shouted. "We're not going to talk about the fact I have witches harassing my family?" Yao pulled her in close. Little sounds of discomfort escaped from Jing's little mouth.

"Why are they targeting our son?" Yao asked.

"We don't know," Fei admitted. Ju groaned aloud.

"Seriously?" she asked.

"Calm down, Ju," Yao whispered. His wife glared at him. China found it wiser to keep his mouth shut.

"We are still looking into it," Cai said.

"We are doing everything we can to keep you and your baby safe," Fei added. None of those words seemed to be helping. Ju's jaw tightened.

"All of us here know what it's like to be worried about a child," Tse said. "Personally, I would rather die than to see anything happen to Jing."

"I could expand out the security across the property," Yao added. "We'll go already to the entry if we need to." Ju lowered her eyes.

"Thank you, everyone," she said. Jing seemed to be reaching up to touch her face. Yao nudged her on the arm.

"Hey, can I hold him?" he asked. Ju looked up at him. Her husband had a calm smile on his face. The clan leader took a breath.

"Alright," she said in a whisper. Ju gently handed over her son. Yao gently bounced the baby up and down.

"Shhh, hi there. Hi there," he whispered to the baby.

"Hey," Szu spoke up. All eye fell on her. She sat up straight in her chair.

"What do we do if one of us runs into a witch?" the girl asked. "Do we have to do anything or just run?" She raised a good point.

"Just ignore them," Bik said. "If they try to do anything, run for it." She didn't sound too certain in her own words.

"That's one suggestion," Hen-to spoke up. Ju didn't look so convinced. Suddenly, she wanted to be holding her baby again.

"We will keep working to find an answer," Hen-to answered. "I promise." Yao moved the child so that his mother could get a better look at him. She reached out and touched the baby's little nose. Jing cooed and giggled at her touch.

"Is there anything else we need to talk about?" Yao asked. The clan talked amongst themselves. Yao turned his attention to Ju. He rested his forehead against hers.

"We're going to be okay," he whispered. "We're not going to let anything to happen to our baby." For once today, Ju could finally smile. Jing lay peacefully in his dad's arms.
