Butch's POV:
Feeling the ice walls of the castle under my hand, I pulled away. It's freezing! How can anyone live in this?
"Come, let us go." My dad said as he entered the castle. We followed close behind him. I felt a cold rush of air hit me. I glared at my old man, He took us here last minute and he didn't bother to tell to bring a jacket! I have a feeling that something is going to happen and I don't like it.
Looking beyond the door we just entered, I was kind of expecting to see a grand throne room or something but all I saw was another door five feet away from us.
"Ah, is there a reason why there's another door in front of us?" Boomer asked.
"This is the door to the city." One of the might-be-twins said cheerfully. "You did not think this is where the Yuki-onna clan lived did you?"
"Ah, yes?" Mojo said with uncertainty. The might-be-twins giggled in unison and shook their heads.
"No, no, silly monkey man! This is a wall that surrounds the city and protects it!" One said as she waved in the air as if she didn't care that her long sleeves were smacking Brick in the face.
"We were told disguise it as a castle and disguise ourselves as guards!" the other said with glee.
"What city?" I asked. We entered a castle didn't we? Moreover, why are these two acting like happy-go-lucky idiots?
"Who told you to do that?" Mojo asked furiously.
"The head of the Yuki-onna clan." One of them answered.
"And what city you ask?" the other said as she attempted to answer my question. She smiled and grabbed the handle of the door.
"Welcome to Capital City!" the said cheerfully and opened the door. I covered my eyes with the back of my hand from the blinding light. My eyes adjusted a few seconds later and I could see the city.
The city was looked a lot like a Japanese village, you know, but with tall buildings. There were children wearing clothes that looked like bathrobes and fuzzy winter coats. They were playing without a care in the world in the snow. Middle-aged women were chatting while men were hard at work in shops. I have to admit, this place is way different from where I'm from but it's not bad.
"So wait, if you're not guards then who are you?" Brick asked. The might-be-twins smiled sweetly.
"I'm Miyuki." The Blue eyed one said as she pointed to herself.
"And I'm Niyuki. Miyuki is my sister and we are, how you say, the welcoming committee." Niyuki explained.
"Well, that was some welcoming. Almost getting cut in half with an ax!" I said with a glare, but Miyuki just waved her hand.
"Don't misunderstand. We knew who you were but we were told to scare you." Miyuki said.
"So the axes were fake?" Boomer asked. Niyuki and Miyuki flinched slightly in unison but their smiles never left.
"Let's move on, shall we?" Niyuki said, brushing off Boomer's question. As we walked, I noticed that everyone was staring at us. Are they staring at us because we're good-looking? On the other hand, it might be because we're vampires. Maybe the real reason is that my dad, my brothers and I are the only ones wearing pants.
"Why is everyone wearing robes with long sleeves and cloth belts?" Brick asked.
"It is called a kimono. Many people wear it in this country." Niyuki explained.
"Excuse me, but by any chance do you have fangs?" Miyuki asked, staring at me especially. We nodded and I opened my mouth to show them my two white fangs that I happen to be proud of since mine are pointer and whiter than my brothers. All of the sudden we heard many females squeal so loud that I had to cover my ears.
"Bite me! Bite me first!" a young girl in her teens yelled.
"No, bite me! I'm prettier!"
"I was here first! Bite me Mr. Vampire!"
"Out of my way! They're mine!"
"What's going on?" My dad asked as he backed away slowly. Girls of all ages started to run towards as so we ran away, following Miyuki and Niyuki.
"Vampires have been the main topic of many romance books and movies recently." Niyuki said but didn't slow down. "I'm surprised that they haven't given up that vampire romance fantasies yet."
"Yeah, fan girls can be so crazy!" Miyuki added. "Hey, by any chance do you sparkle in the sunlight?"
"What?" Brick asked with a weird look on his face.
"How long are they going to follow us?" Boomer asked, almost out of breath. He wasn't the most athletic vampire in the world.
"Aren't vampires super-fast?" Miyuki asked, her legs getting tired.
"That's a myth!" Brick explained. "Vampires are super strong but are not super-fast!" he almost tripped but he caught himself.
"Speak for yourself! I can out run all of you!" I said, running faster until I was in front of everyone.
"Where are we going?" Mojo asked, not sure how far his tiny legs can carry him anymore.
"To the Yuki-onna clan's home, the guards will let us in and stop those women from get us, or more specifically, your sons." Niyuki answered. I'm starting to think that Niyuki is the smarter sister since she answered most of our questions.
"There it is!" Miyuki exclaimed as she pointed to the long Japanese style building. It was big, but it wasn't tall. It was wider than most building I seen before. Getting closer, I saw that it was covered in thin layer of frost.
"Mojo of the vampire clan is here! Open the door!" Niyuki instructed. Two men, who I'm guessing the real guards, come out of nowhere and open the door. As we entered, the guards shut the door and fought back the mob of crazy vampire fan girls.
"Do you think they'll be alright?" Boomer asked, out of breath and had to lean on the wall.
"Back up! We need back up- AH!"
"AKI! NO! YOU WERE SO YOUNG! NOOOOOOO!"
"They'll be fine." Miyuki said casually as we saw more shadows of guards coming through the sliding door. "Hurry, let's move on. We should not leave the head of the yuki-onna clan waiting."
Is it just me, or is it colder inside than it is outside? Everyone else seems unaffected by the cold chill in the air.
"I'm the only one freezing his butt off here?" I hissed.
"I'm use to the cold now." Brick answered causally.
"And I brought a jacket!" Boomer said as he pointed to his dark blue fabric jacket.
"Ah, this is where we leave you." Niyuki announced as we stopped in front of a sliding Japanese-style door. "Please treat the head of the yuki-onna clan with respect." As they walked past us, Miyuki turned slight with a mischievous grin glued on her face.
"Good luck vampire boys." She said. "You're going to need it." She waved good-bye and skipped down the hallway to catch up to her sister. My dad opened the sliding door and we spotted a middle-aged man in a black but mostly white kimono sitting on his legs.
"You must be the head of the Yuki-onna clan, am I right?" Brick asked, extending his hand out to greet him. He smiled but didn't get up.
"No, I'm not the head of the clan," he answered. We suddenly heard fast footsteps somewhere outside of the room. The footsteps seemed slightly threatening.
"She is." He said and pointing at a sliding door as it slide wide open. There stood a tall, shapely woman with a head full of red curls that hid her face. In a blur, she ran up to my father, who is less than half her size and punched him under his chin, sending him flying. Are all the women in this country crazy?
"What is the meaning of this, Mojo!" the woman demanded angrily as she grabbed him by his shirt. "You told us you were coming less than an hour ago and you didn't even ask if it was ok! Have you no manners! You can't come here acting all high and mighty as if you own the world!" suddenly, the room felt as if the temperature dropped and two orbs, her eyes, were glowing from behind her mess of hair. She held up her hand and a sword made of pure ice appeared. What the-? She's planning to cut my dad in half!
"Now dear," the man in a black and white kimono tried to calm her down without provoking her wrath. In the corner of my eye, I saw Boomer and Brick hugging each other in fear. Wimps.
She glared at him, then at my dad, then at us, then back to him. She holds the black haired man's gaze for a few seconds then sighed, throwing the ice sword behind her.
"Fine, whatever." She scoffed as her eyes stopped glowing and the temperature of the room was back to normal, but it was still freezing in here! She sat on the ground, her legs under her and I noticed that her kimono was a lot shorter than most kimonos and was the color red.
After a few second of awkward silence, my dad sat down in a similar fashion, a couple feet away from them. Not knowing what to do, my brothers and I did the same. The women took a ribbon from in her sleeve and started to tie her mess of hair in place.
"Welcome to our home. The woman next to me is my wife Sarah. She's the head of our clan," said the black-haired man with a smile. "Though I do I have a name, most just call me Professor Utonium."
"Nice to meet you." my dad said. "I am Mo-"
"We know who you are." The red haired women cut him off bitterly. She had just finished putting her hair in a ponytail so we saw her face. My eyes widen when I saw how she looked.
Her eyes were glaring but it had a mystical shade of light blue. Her long, thick black eyelashes complemented the blue eyes. Her creamy milk colored skin made her plump red lips. I did not expect her to be this beautiful! Even my dad had a hard time ignoring her alluring appearance.
"Ahhhhhhhh." Was all my father could say. Something tells me that this is the first time he saw her face. Sarah seemed bored, but kept her glare still intact.
"If you have something to say, say it." She hissed darkly. That snapped him out of his daze. Covering his mouth with his fist, he cleared his throat.
"Is there anywhere we can talk in private?" he asked. She raised an eyebrow.
"How important is this thing you need to talk about?" she asked calmly.
"Very."
They had a stare down for a minute before she let out a sigh, breaking her gaze. She stood up and moved towards the sliding door she came through.
"Follow me," she said as she glances over her shoulder and walked away. My dad quickly stood up and followed her, slamming the door behind him.
Having nothing better to do, we turned our attention to Professor Utonium who was smiling while his eyes awkwardly glancing around the room. I sighed.
This is going to be a long day.
*no one's POV*
"So what is this oh so important thing you need to talk to me about?" Sarah asked, her arms crossed as she leaned against a window. She had taken Mojo to a room that looked a lot like a study.
"This," Mojo said as he handed her the letter he had gotten earlier in the day. Skeptically, she read the letter but didn't seem surprise at the contents of the letter.
"If this is what you're worry about," she started and glanced up from the letter. "The 'rumored rebellion' is a hundred percent true. There seems to be a mysterious group lurking in the shadows, trying to recruit ever creature and clan out there to destroy the vampire race."
"HOW DO YOU KNOW THIS?" Mojo demanded as he slammed his fists onto the desk, breaking it in two. Sarah didn't even flinch at his violent outburst; she only stared at him until he calmed down.
"I am sorry," he apologized, came back to his senses. "I do not know what came over me."
"I don't blame you," She said as she let out a heavy sigh. "I would be pretty pissed off too if someone was trying to kill off my race."
"I do not understand why this is happen," mojo groaned as he sat on a leather couch, his head in his hands. "How are you so sure that the rebellion is true?"
"We received letters and gifts recently," she started as she moved to the broken desk to retrieve something from it. "In their letters, they explain that the vampire clan is planning an invasion so they can become the superior race of monsters." She handed Mojo the letters from her broken desk.
"THOSE ARE LIES!" Mojo yelled. "I have done my best to keep my clan far away from conflict and-"
"I think that's the problem," she interrupted. "You hardly give out your own opinion and I think people are starting to believe that you think you clan is the dominate race."
"Oh, what to do." Mojo moaned in despair.
"Maybe you should pass the responsibility of head of the clan to your sons," Sarah suggested. "That way, people will think that you kept out of conflict to train your sons to be the next clan leaders. You can announce it tonight, during their birthday party."
"Not possible," Mojo said. "In order to claim the title of head of the clan, the must have a spouse or fiancé."
"I hear you," Sarah let out a sigh. "I have problems with clan tradition too. I have three daughters who are becoming dangerously close to the age where they'll need a spouse or they'll . . . ." she didn't finish her sentence. She just glanced down.
"I came here today in order to plea for your help." Mojo said, changing the subject.
"My help?" Sarah looked at mojo with an odd expression on her face. She never thought in a million year that someone from the vampire clan would one day ask for help from someone from the yuki-onna clan. Their kind doesn't exactly get along.
"I need someone from your clan to protect my sons." Mojo pleaded. "Please, I am not asking as you as the head of the vampire clan but I am asking you as a father to my sons."
"Mojo," Sarah said, hesitant with her reply. "Even if I help you protect your sons tonight. Whoever is planning this rebellion will just keep coming back."
Mojo's hopeful expression fell as he slumped onto the coach, defected. Sarah didn't like this, he came here as a concern father asking for help to protect his sons, not as the all mighty head of the vampire clan here to demand help or supplies to protect his heir to the vampire clan. She knew that she would have done the same, as a mother to her precious three daughters.
"I'm sorry mojo, I-WAIT! I have an idea that will solve all our problems!" she said. "But it comes with a one condition."
Mojo listened to her plan and her condition with an open mind. He considered his options and what he thought was best for his clan, but most importantly, his sons.
"It is crazy," he said after thinking it over for a while. "But it just might work!"
"Do we have a deal?" Sarah extended her hand out to mojo.
"deal." They shook hands and now it was time to put their plan into action.
Oh uh, what could mojo and Sarah be planning? All you need to know is that the powerpuff girls and the rowdyruff boys aren't going to be happy about it. Anyway, comment and review! I post the next chapter as soon as I can! The powerpuffs are in the next chapter!
