England

Opening her eyes Gen stretched her arms and yawned. Quickly she got up and took a shower. The hot water burned a bit because of her bruises. She had been training with her sister and it had some affect on her body. She didn't care because she knew she would heal fast. When she got out she got dressed. She put on a short green kind of dress and her armor. Slowly she strapped her knife to her leg. One of the maids came in shortly after.
"My lady your father wishes to see you. He says there is important news that he has to share with you and your sister." The maid said then left.
"Thank you. I will be there shortly." As she brushed her hair she opened the door to leave. Going down stairs she saw her father and sister. "Father. Scarlett. I have been told you have news for me. Is it another assignment?"

Maylene sat in a tree staring out into the morning light. "Ehh, another boring day. When is that damn vampire ever gonna come out?" She wondered aloud to herself. Nothing excited her, except food or fighting. Right now she could smell ham and pork, she was hungry. Maylene jumped from the tree with a start and rand for a small camp set up by a man. When he turned around she reached and grabbed the food right from the plate. After finishing her breakfast she returned to the tree and continued her watch.

Meimu had been languidly lapping at the spoon in his hand that possessed a large scoop of shaved snow. Licking the sweetness off of his lips upon his youngest daughter's arrival, ice blue orbs would raise themselves from the task at hand to gaze upon her young features. Greeting her in an even and moderate tone, his eyes would twinkle with pride upon spotting her bruises. "My dear, how lovely it is to see you~ Take a seat, Sweet Gem. " Using the nickname he loved calling her whenever he felt lighthearted, he secretly wondered if it bothered her. If there was anything Meimu loved more than ice cream and the sport of hunting, it was seeing his daughters annoyed and bothered. It's what fathers do best... Ehehehe... he thought, a small grin tugging at the corner of his lips.

"Ahh... Another assignment... I suppose you could say that..." he began, allowing his sentence to trail off. Shifting his gaze to his other and eldest daughter, Meimu would smile a smile that clearly said it was her turn to speak. He had already spoken with her earlier and dealt with whatever emotions she felt then. Though he normally gave assignments out himself, he felt that it would be amusing to have one sister inform the other, so he would be able to enjoy the reaction even more then. The mission this time was far from the norm and despite that Meimu was typically easy-going, he felt slightly unsettled for once. Something about this assignment bothered him, but he had no choice. It was too valuable to pass up and knowing him, he would more or less destroy the target on "accident" should he be the one escorting him.

When Gen had walked into the room, Scarlett wouldn't allow herself to look at her. She breathed slowly, trying to calm her pounding heart.
She looked at her father as he stopped speaking, her eyes narrowing into an intense glare. She took a deep breath, letting it out slowly. She spoke slowly, really wishing she didn't have to say what she was about to say, "Gen, father has... a rather odd assignment for you. You are to... protect a vampire. He is a very connected person and the werewolves will do pretty much anything to kill him." The whole time Scarlett was speaking, her voice was low and soft.
She walked over to her sister, her eyes lowered to the floor. When she looked up at Gen, tears had sprung in her eyes, but they would not fall, they never did. With ease, she blinked them away until her eyes were clear and a sad smile formed on her lips. She took a deep breath, calming herself again. She would usually remain calm unless her sister was in direct danger, but this was a special circumstance, because otherwise, she thought she might cry, something she hates with a passion.

Gen was in shock. She didnt know what to say. When Scarlett went near her Gen began to back up. "No no no. NO! Father please tell me she is mistaken. I cant protect a blood sucker I rather kill myself before that happens." Without knowing she had walked over to her father. "Please let her be mistaken. I cant do this father. I cant protect what I was born to kill." Gen was furious but mixed with confusion. She was frustrated and wanted to cry as she saw her sister's eyes become watery. "I cant. I just cant." She said looking at the ground.

With a sigh, the silver-haired male dropped his spoon into the half-empty bowl before him, losing interest in its contents. Stretching his arms out in front of him before placing them neatly on his crossed legs, his expression would turn serious upon Gen's objection to the assignment.

"There is no mistake here, my Dear." he began calmly, readily dealing with the reaction he expected. "Keep your eyes on whoever you are speaking to and don't sulk. You know I find the action to be rather unbecoming and disgraceful."

Uncrossing his legs and bringing himself to a stand, he wandered to a nearby window and looked outside of it.

"In any case, you don't really have much of a choice now. The target is less than 15 miles away and approaching fast as we speak." Turning to his daughters, Meimu offered them a chesire grin. "It seems our company will be arriving sooner than expected. Prepare yourselves, darlings. We wouldn't want to come off as rude hosts now would we?" With that, he would leave no more room for defiance or argument. He left the room and called upon some servants to inform them of their tasks.

Gen couldn't handle it. She knew she had to do what she was told. Grabbing a vase she threw it to the wall making it shatter to little pieces. "If father thinks I will be nice to him he is greatly mistaken." Gen rushed out the room and went outside to train. She was used to training to get out her anger. The problem was that she was always stressing her body. Gen was beautiful but men always felt intimidated by her. Secretly she wished to be like her older sister who people always admired. Her beauty masked her power. People would always underestimate her but Gen knew from all the training they have done that she was as tough as nails.

(Had to take it out it sent twice sorry)

Scarlett looked down, staring at her feet as anger coursed through her. She spun around to look at her father, a hard glare set in her eyes. "Why not me? I can do it. People wouldn't expect someone like me to be so powerful. Please father, let me do this." She spoke quickly and harshly, but her tone had a something soft underneath, showing how much she cared. She turned her head to the side, her white hair flowing in front of her face.

After finishing off giving orders to the servants, Meimu patiently listened to his eldest daughter. Running a hand through his kempt silver hair, a soft sigh would escape him. "My dear..." he began softly while a sharp look entered his eyes, "I know you are more than capable of handling this mission. Which is exactly why I do not want you to do it. Both you and your sister are very capable girls, which makes my non-existent heart swell with pride! But you must understand, your sister must learn that getting close to the enemy can be very handy sometimes... Whether the enemy is something you bear no hatred towards or if you despise them with all your heart... I suppose you could say this is a test of some sorts." With a shrug, Meimu crossed his arms, the air about him daring his daughter to try and challenge him again. So much defiance in one day was rubbing him the wrong way and quite frankly, he was beginning to lose patience.

Scarlett looked up, ready to protest, but she saw the look in her fathers eyes. She back down, stepping backwards for a few moments before spinning on her heels and following after Gen. She knew where to find her and was at the training grounds soon, watching her younger sister train. Her gaze was soft and kind, a sad smile curving her lips.

Ayase walked up to a house and knocked on the door yawning, his pearly white, razor sharp fangs gleaming in the low light coming from near window.'' Knock knock anyone home in this place? damn i swear if i got the wrong house again...'' Aya sighed looking around and through the window spotting two people, a girl and a male. He walked back over to the door and stood waiting to see if he should knock again.

Gen opened the door. Her face was blank but it showed annoyance when she saw the guy. She grabbed her weapon and jumped on him. Her weapon to his neck. Her body was on him and it was too close for comfort. "State your name and reason why you are here." She gave him a hard look. His eyes were beautiful yet she hated that he was there. She hated that he was a vampire. Vampires always ruined her life.

Aya stared at the girl, who was now on him and aiming a weapon at his neck.'' Hmmm if this is how you treat a guest then you must have odd way of saying hello.'' he said pulling the girl off him and sitting her down.'' I am Ayase Nikaido, i was summoned here to be protected, though i dont need any protection. i could kill those muts myself if i wanted to.'' he looked at the girl.'' Who are you?'' he asked his crimson eyes glinting slightly.

"I am Gen Alarma. If you are the vampire that needs protecting then" she stood up. "I am your protector. It is your information we value not you. Keep that in mind you blood sucker." She stared at him. "Get up and come in. Father wants to see you before we leave." She entered the house still keeping an eye on him as she put her weapon away.

Aya sighed standing up.'' thats fine and dandy, if i feel like talking girlie.'' he said walking into the house.'' Now who is this 'father' person?'' he asked looking around then stopping at Gen.'' And trust me i dont need a little girl like yourself protecting me.'' he said closing his eyes and imagning Gen trying to fight Maylene. he opened his eyes back to Gen and ran a hand through his black hair.

"Meimu is my father. You will talk. Do not forget you are in a house of hunters." She glared at him when he called her a little girl. "I am not a little girl you piece of trash." She kicked his side making him fall. "I can kill you in an instant do not tempt me. We need you to speak that doesn't mean I cant cut your pretty face." She stared at him. "Damn vampires underestimating me. That's exactly what gets them killed."

Aya frowned jumping up and wiping himself off.'' Damn your mean, i was just kidding. Of course i'll talk for your sweet little daddy. Hell if it keeps me alive i'll do anything.'' he said shurgging.'' So where is Meimu? i would kinda like to leave this place.'' he said tugging on a peice of his hair boredly.

"Sometimes being mean is necessary. Come." She led the way to her fathers study. It was a quiet place. "Father the vampire is here." She laid against the wall as she saw her father looking out the window.

Scarlett walked back to her fathers study, hearing Gen 'greet' someone at the door. She stood behind her father to his right side, the place she usually took, as his eldest. Her face was set into a hard mask mixed with anger and sadness. Her contorted features still looked beautiful but she wasn't here to look pretty. She still wanted to take Gen's place, but she knew Meimu wouldn't let her. She looked down, her white hair falling in front of her face. Her right hand went to the edge of her boots, grasping the handle of her knife with a white knuckled grip. She was trying hard not to pull the knife from it's hiding place and lodge it in the chest of the vampire before her. She knew she would follow her little sister in hiding. She would just tell Meimu she needed to get away. She had an urge to slap Meimu across the face, but knew she would probably die if she did. Looking up, she glanced at the vampire before looking back and staring. He seemed very familiar to her, though the reason was unknown to her.

Meimu was staring out of the window as always, and when his daughter walked in with the expected guest, their reflection would appear beside his in the glass. Offering them a smile before turning around to face the two properly, the male would nod once to the vampire, acknowledging his presence in his home. "Greetings my dear Guest," he said in a cool and even tone, his ice blues eyes scrutinizing the target intently. Upon first glance, the boy looked like a joke who wasn't easy to take seriously, but years of experience made Meimu think otherwise. Not once did he ever underestimate a person and in most cases, that state of mind saved his life on various occasions.

"Hmhmm... You look quite boring. Let's hope you prove to be as useful as you were made out to be," he said bluntly to Ayase, tilting his head slightly.

Sensing Scarlett's disdain towards him at that moment, he shot her a sweet smile that stated 'You are free to try but don't be surprised when you face the consequences.' He had a pretty good idea on what she felt like doing towards the young vampire in the room. She may have been his daughter, but Meimu would not hesitate to eliminate her should she go against his orders. This young man was way too important to the hunter clan and Meimu would be incredibly upset should something happen to him. Using his index and middle finger to push his glasses back up on the bridge of his nose, the silver-haired man turned his attention towards Gen. "Be more gentle with him next time. Men can be delicate creatures too!" he said in a pseudo-hurt tone, clearly testing his daughter for a reaction. Meimu had his dumb moments even though he was highly respected. Being so successful made him enjoy the lighter side of things and always took the chance (when given) to joke around... Even if the jokes were corny or flat out stupid in nature. It gave rise to people underestimating him.... Something he enjoyed immensely.

"Anyhow... You are wasting time. You two should leave now. Unless you have any questions of course..." Meimu trailed off as he waited patiently. Gen could be quite the vocal creature when upset and he had heard her little tirade towards Ayase before they came to see him. Though he was not quite pleased with those actions in particular, it made him somewhat proud. At least he would not have to worry about her being pushed around. It was all about testing her now... Hopefully things went according to plan.

Gen glared at her father. "He asked for it father. He underestimated calling me a little girl." She took out her knife twirling it. "You know that isn't true." A dark sparkle showed in her eyes as her knife twirled." When he told her she should leave she didn't move. "I dont think it is necessary. I am his guard as you say. So i should know as much as he knows. Being unaware of something even something small is dangerous out in the field. You taught me that." She challenged him. She didn't want to leave the bloodsucker alone with her family no matter how strong they are.

Scarlett caught the meaning of the smile immediately, a glare hardening her features as she did. Her glare softened and she smiled at her sister when she said he deserved it, knowing he did. With graceful ease, she stepped forward from her place and spoke up, "Dear sir, did you not know that looks can be deceiving? Do not underestimate the women of this family." Her voice was sweet, but in a mocking way. She wracked her memories, trying to remember where she knew this vampire from but it just wouldn't come to her. She raised her hand from the edge of her boot and brushed her hair away from her face, her emerald eyes set in a hard glare.

The silver-haired male chuckled, expecting the hellcat to come out in his youngest daughter's behavior the moment he mentioned to be more gentle towards the target. "You misunderstood me my dear, I did not ask you in specific to leave. I asked for BOTH of you to do so. I'm just waiting on questions," with a shrug, he sighed softly. Gen certainly had her mother's temper... Shaking his head, he would not allow himself to drift off into the memories of the past. "If you have none though, I have a question for the young man," nodding his head once in Ayase's direction, Meimu would not even wait for his acknowledgment. "Have you already run into trouble on the way here? You were smart enough to make sure you were not being followed, right?"
