The time: 1983

The place: Transylvania, Romania

The event: The birth of the Hitomebore first child.

It was in was a cool summer night at the Hitomebore Castle, and inside a young couple in their late twenties were cuddling up to their first child, a baby girl. She was covered in a light pink baby blanket and is wearing light lavender baby pajamas with the little footsies and white laced doilies around the collar and the sleeve cuffs. Her short red hair and piercing blue eyes shone brightly as she smiled happily and made cute baby noises as she reached up for her mother.

"Look Gregory." The mother cooed as she looked over to her husband. "She has your eyes." She said as she looked back at the child in her arms. The mother's light brown hair came down to her shoulders which framed her cream colored skin, small pink lips, and tender brown eyes. She was also wearing light blue floral print maternal sleeping gown under her light rose pink robe.

"Yes she has." Chuckled her husband who had the same red hair and blue eyes as his little girl. He had a thin red mustache and a small goatee, which made him look like a poet in some cases. He is also wearing a brown smoker's jacket, yet he doesn't smoke, over a white ruffled shirt. Brown pants and matching slippers. "She also has your smile Amelia." Gregory complimented.

Then the baby made a soft yawn. "Oh-oh, looks like somebody needs to go to sleep." Amelia proclaimed as she put her in her crib. "Good night little one." She kissed the baby on the cheek.

"Sweet dreams my little Inaho." Said Gregory as he kissed her on the other cheek. His mustache tickled Inaho and caused her to giggle a bit and just as little Inaho closed her eyes, her parents had already left the room.

Then the wall in her room opened up and a tall woman with long silvery white hair, snowy pale skin, almond colored eyes, and two small fangs on the corners of her mouth walked in.

The outfit she is wearing is a long black dress with matching shoes and gloves. She is also wearing two rings on her index finger. The wedding band held a red diamond, while the band was pure gold with carvings of leaves. In fact if you were to look at it from a distance it would almost look like a rose was wrapped around her finger. The woman's name was Malariya and she had snuck in through the hidden door to get a quick peek of the baby. "Oh my there she is!" Malariya silently squealed with delight when she saw little Inaho curled up in her crib. She tiptoed towards the crib to get a better look at the child.

Baby Inaho opened her eyes and saw Malariya and she smiled at her, showing no signs of fear.

"Oh you are just cutest little thing I have ever seen!" She cooed as she tickled the baby under the chin. Then she gently picked Inaho up from her crib and snuggled close to the child. "Ooh you are just too darling for words...Yes you are...Yes you are." Malariya declared joyfully as she gave light kisses on the face that caused the baby to giggle. But Malariya abruptly stopped when she heard familiar voices moving closer from outside the room. She quickly put the baby back into her crib and hurried back to the secret passageway.

After the passageway closed the parents went back into the room. "I could've sworn I heard a voice in here." Amelia Said with concern.

"I'm sure it was probably just the wind." Gregory reassured her as Amelia went over to Inaho's crib.

"Look Gregory." Amelia directed.

They saw little Inaho's faced covered with dark red lipstick.

"How did she get so much lipstick on her face?" Amelia asked suspiciously as she gently wiped the kisses off with her handkerchief.

"Maybe it was one of the servants." Gregory replied still looking at his beautiful little girl. "I mean can you blamed them? Who could've resists a face like that?" He said with a soft laugh

"Well I suppose you're right." Replied Amelia.

"Come on dear, let's just go to bed so that Inaho can get some sleep." Gregory said softly as he kissed her cheek and the two of them left the room.

Somewhere in the castle, Malariya had just enter a different room from the passageway. She still had stars in her eyes as she

remembered the little mistress in her arms.

"I just knew you couldn't resist." Said a familiar old voice as she chuckled at Malariya. It was Grandmother Elenore even though she was old; she was still a lot younger then. Her shoulder length silvery white hair laid strait, catching the shine from the candles. She was wearing a pink cardigan sweater over a blue dress with matching shoes and a pearled necklace. On the necklace there was a heart shaped locket pin. It had no pictures in it, yet she always wore it. She started to walk towards Malariya slowly as she held onto her walking cane for support.

"I'm sorry Mistress." Malariya apologized. "It's just that she's so adorable that I couldn't help myself." Malariya's tone of

voice showed Elenore her affection towards the child.

"Well, I can't say that I blame you." Elenore said forgivingly. "She is a remarkable child." Elenore said, she was very proud of her granddaughter.

"Yes she is Elenore. She is so sweet and cute and tiny and..." Malariya said with stars sparkling in her eyes when she was cut off by Elenore who finished her sentence

"And you want to introduce her to your brother." Elenore smiled as she saw the embarrassment rise in Malariya.

"Well maybe. When the time is right of course." Said Malariya shyly as she stared at her feet, afraid of what the mistress might say.

"Well when Inaho is a little older you can do that." Said Elenore as she smiled at the ever so happy vampire.

"Oh thank you my Mistress." Malariya praised with great respect.

"It's my pleasure Malariya." Replied Elenore as she gave Malariya a small hug. "I think they might make a very good couple.

Speaking of couples, don't you think that your husband, Mahno, is getting lonely tonight?" She asked with a sly smile.

 

"Oh yes but of course." Replied Malariya as she blushed and let out small giggle. "I must be with him at once. Good night Lady Elenore." She bowed to the old woman in front of her.

"Good night Malariya." Elenore returned the bow when Malariya was far away from the room, Elenore turned towards the window and faced up to the shining moon that hung in the sky. "Hear my prayers Great Ancestors. Please let there be good fortune for our family in this time of need. For this will be the first day of my first grandchild's life and she'll soon be facing more that yet to come."

She had finished her prayer and began to walk away from the window.

Master Mosquiton: New Beginning

 

Chapter 03: Getting Aquatinted

It was early in the morning and Inaho was sleeping soundly until a delicious smell stirred her awake. "That smells like, Chocolate Chip Pancakes." Said Inaho, quickly waking up trying to savor the smell. "Can it be?" She asked herself as she smiled happily. "Man, what a weird dream, Grandma had died after we moved to America, and then these 'Vampires' came over and....whatever!" She dropped the dream and she knew that Grandmother Elenore was alive and in the kitchen cooking

breakfast for her and Tearesa.

Inaho ran out of her room, not realizing that she had slept in the same clothes that she was wearing last night. "Grandmother!" "Grandma is that you?" Inaho called as she ran towards the kitchen. When she got there, her happy face turn into stun when she that the person cooking breakfast was not Grandmother Elenore but the visitors from last night. "So it wasn't a dream." She quietly said to herself sadly.

"Good Morning Inaho Darling." Malariya greeted her with a warm smile. "I see that you slept well."

"I....ai....ah....uh." Inaho was speechless from shock.

"You've already met my brother, Alucard Von Mosquiton." Malariya motioned Inaho to Mosquiton who was making the Chocolate Chip Pancakes.

"Hello Inaho, it's very nice to meet you." He welcomed her as he was mixing the batter.

"Uh um hello." Said Inaho shyly, still trying to figure out what is going on when she heard a small familiar voice say.

"Hi Inaho, glad that you are awake." Inaho turned around and see it was Tearesa.

"Tearesa!" She cried happily and hugged her little sister. "Oh I'm so glad that you are okay." Inaho smiled as she hugged her sister tighter.

"Of course I am Sis... and I can't breathe!!" Tearesa wheezed and in a flash Inaho dropped the pressure in her arms.

Then she heard a familiar bark. It was Max and he jotted up to Inaho and gave her a good morning kiss. "Oh Max! You are here too!" Inaho sighed happily as she hugged the dog.

"These people are really nice once you get to know them, and Mosquiton was the one who helped you." Tearesa said with a big smile on her face

"Mosquiton?" Inaho questioned as she turned to look at Mosquiton.

"Well I sort of feel bad about scaring you last night." Mosquiton apologized shyly as he scratched the back of his head. "I'm

really sorry about that." He replied as his shyness was soon covered with concern.

"Oh, well thank you." Inaho forgave him, her fear and shockness was slowly fading away.

"Come darling, you must be famished from your rest." Malariya proclaimed.

"Well I am a bit hungry." Inaho confessed as she let go of Max.

Malariya directed the Hitomebore sisters into the breakfast nook with Max following close behind. "You've already know my husband, Mahno." She gestured to the man sitting at the table next to her.

"Hey there, glad that you are up." Mahno greeted.

"Why yes, good morning." Inaho returned the greeting with a smile.

"And these two are Hono and Yuki." Malariya turned their direction to the Elementals. "Children, say hello." Malariya decreed.

"Hello Mama Inaho." Hono and Yuki addressed Inaho together plainly.

"Nani?? Mama?" Said Inaho with a perplex look. "Don't worry Deary, you'll get used to it." Malariya reassured her.

"Well..um.. okay." Replied Inaho giving everyone a confused look but then looked over to them with a smiling face. "How do you do." She asked.

"How do we do what?" Hono asked confusedly.

"It's just a form of greeting." Tearesa confirmed him as she giggled.

"Oh, okay." Said Hono blushing.

Yuki laugh quietly.

"Shut up Yuki." He growled through his teeth, she just smirked.

"Breakfast is ready." Mosquiton announced. Mosquiton entered the nook with a plate load of pancakes. "I hope I got them right." Said Mosquiton as served Inaho a couple of slices to her. "Malariya told me that these are Tearesa and your favorites." He said with a soft smile.

"Well yes they are. Thank you." Inaho replied shyly as she took the first bite of the pancake.

Everyone was watching her with anticipation as she chewed. To her surprise, they were very good. "It's just like how my grandmother used to made them." Inaho complimented with a smile.

The rest were relieved and Mosquiton started serving to everyone else.

"Thank you Inaho." Said Mosquiton; the compliment made him happy. "I was afraid that you wouldn't like them. It took me five times to get the recipe right.

"But it took him 2 hours to figure out how to turn on the stove." Mahno joked.

Mosquiton was about to dump the pancakes on his head when Malariya cut him off.

"Anyway, we are so glad that you like them Inaho Darling." Malariya confirmed.

"I do, thank you so much." Inaho responded. She was about to take another bite when she noticed what time it was. "Oh my GOD!" She shrieked. "8:45 already?! I'm late!" Inaho screamed as she quickly got up and make a dash to the doorway but Malariya was faster and had cut her off.

"Easy Inaho Darling." Said Malariya trying to calm her down. "It's okay, I took the liberty of calling your school and told them that you weren't feeling very well." She explained.

"You called my school?" Inaho asked.

"That is correct." Malariya answered with a smile "I also called Tearesa's school and your manager at the Neutral Grounds Cafe and told them the same thing. So that way the two of you will be able to spend time to know everyone."

"And what else did you tell them?" Inaho questioned. "Well I said that I was your guardian and that I have everything under

control." Said Malariya simply.

Inaho looked a little pale.

"Is there something a matter Inaho Darling?" Malariya inquired with concern.

"Oh-oh Sis, looks like you might have caused another panic attack." Said Mosquiton.

"Hush up Mosqou!" Malariya screamed.

"I think I know what's wrong." Tearesa spoke up and everyone turned towards her. "When Inaho and I first started school and she started working here, she told both of our principals and her boss that we are orphans and that we have no guardians."

Malariya's face simply fell in embarrassment.

"Well here it comes." Said Hono.

"Let the fun begin." Added Yuki.

Inaho had gone into complete hysterics. "And now the schools and the cafe will think that we're running some sort of scam!" Inaho shouted in panic.

"Calm down Inaho darling. We'll think of something." Malariya tried to convince her.

"How do you expect me to calm down!?" Inaho asked in a frenzy. "They'll probably call the police and makes us tell them where we used to live! If they do, my stepmother will sure to find us and take us away!" Inaho broke into tears when Mosquiton came up and placed his arms around her. She immediately stops crying.

"It's okay Inaho." He said in a comforting tone. "Malariya may mess up sometimes, but we manage to think things through. I promise you that nothing bad is going to happen to you and Tearesa."

Inaho looked up at him with her eyes still filled with tears. "Really?" She asked looking at his friendly and goofy smile.

"Of course." Mosquiton reassured. "I am bound to you by your blood so I'm going to protect you and your sister any way I can."

Inaho unexpectedly wrapped her arms around Mosquiton's waist and buried her head in his chest. "Oh thank you." She muffled between sniffs and smiled.

Mosquiton simply blush a bright red. "See Mosqou, I told you she will like you." Said Malariya with a teasing smile.

"Shut up Malariya." Grumbled Mosquiton when Malariya whacked him with her fan.

"Never use harsh words at me Little Brother." Malariya said smugly.

Mosquiton rubbed his head and murmured "Five minutes. Five lousy minutes."

Inaho noticed what she was doing and quickly removed herself from Mosquiton. "I'm so sorry about that." Inaho apologized slightly blushing.

"It's okay really." Mosquiton forgave her by giving a small grin.

Just then everyone smelled something burning from the kitchen.

"Oh no I left the sausages on the stove!" Mosquiton shouted in panic as everyone rushed into the kitchen.

The sausages had been left on the stove for too long and were now on fire.

Mosquiton feverishly tried to turn off the stove but by accident he turn the knob on high and the flames grew bigger, the flames flickered and soon his cape was on fire. "AAAAAAH!!!!!" "PUT IT OUT! PUT IT OUT! PUT IT OUT!" Mosquiton screamed

in hysteria as he is running around in the kitchen with his cape in a blaze.

Inaho rushed over to one of the cabinets and retrieved a fire estinqisher. Aimed it at the stove and Mosquiton and covered them both with white foam. "Well that takes care of that." Said Inaho "Are you okay now Mosquiton?" She asked concernedly.

"Yes I'm fine. Thank you." Mosquiton answered solemnly while looking at his damaged cape. "I am so sorry about that fire accident." He said sadly.

"It's okay really." Replied Inaho as she placed a comforting hand on his shoulder. "There's no major damage and nobody got hurt.... demo.. Wish I could say the same thing about your cape." She said as she looked at the burnt cape.

"This is the only cape I've own." Mosquiton moaned pathetically.

"You ought to be ashamed of yourself Mosquo." Malariya scolded Mosquiton. "Just be thankful that Inaho save your life."

Mosquiton hang his head low. He didn't know what was worse, having his cape on fire or being scolded by his twin sister.

Inaho patted him on the back "Don't worry about it." She said and smiled warmly at Mosquiton. "Maybe we can get you a new one." Inaho replied happily

"Really?" Mosquiton asked.

"What a splendid idea!" Malariya approved. "What a better way to get know each then to go shopping!" Malariya raised her fan in triumph and laugh victoriously. "Ahahahahehehehohoho!"

Hono and Yuki grabbed their heads in pain.

"Oh no." Hono said grudgingly.

"It has begun." Added Yuki solemnly.

"What is?" Tearesa questioned them.

"Mistress Malariya is, what you people call, a shopoholic." Yuki responded with dismal.

"Is that bad?" Tearesa queried innocently wondering why Hono and Yuki were terrified of this.

"No, not really, for a normal person." Hono informed her. Not letting her know how afraid he is.

"But when the Mistress shops, she becomes like possess whirlwind." Yuki noted.

"Trying to get anything that is not bolted down." Hono said as he tried not to imagine the baggage he would have to carry home.

"Everybody to the cars!" Malariya ordered as she cast her human disguise spell and promptly left the room.

"I'll go get the keys." Said Mahno and followed his ecstatic wife everyone except Inaho and Tearesa sighed and simply followed her.

"And so the madness begins." Mosquiton begrudged in a gravely voice.

"Oh come now, it can't be that bad." Inaho reassured him.

"You never shopped with my sister before have you?" Mosquiton asked Inaho, which left her in a puzzled look as she left the room.

Meanwhile back at the Queen and Crescent Hotel, Rasputin and his two minions were waiting for the arrival of Natasha and Srg. Crondar in the hotel lounge.

"Are you sure?" Camille asked hopefully.

"Yes I am positive that he is here." Sangermain answered with a straight face. "I felt his presence about last night. Mosquiton is now in this city." He said as his anger started to boil his blood.

"Hmm...From what you have told me about him, this could be a problem." Rasputin concurred.

"A problem? But I've waited almost over 400 years to be with him again." Said Camille with small hearts and stars in her eyes.

"Not so fast Camille." Sangermain snapped her back to reality. "I'm afraid there's something you should know." He said, his face stern.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Camille questioned him suspiciously.

"A little a while ago yesterday, I felt another presence that is little similar to Mosquiton's when we enter the New Orleans City limits." He replied straightforward. At first Camille didn't know whom he was talking about then she understood what he had meant.

"Ooh I can't believe this! She is here too?!" Camille spat as she slammed the table causing it to shake.

"Yes I'm afraid so, Camille." Sangermain confirmed.

"Who is this 'she' that you are referring to my servants?" Rasputin inquired.

"Malariya, my Lord." Sangermain replied.

"Mosquiton's twin sister. She's the one who called off my marriage to Mosquiton!" Said Camille in bitter anger.

"That is because you wanted Mosquiton to drink from you so you can become immortal." Sangermain reminded her.

"But I asked him to do so I can be with him for all eternity." Camille rebutled.

"But what you didn't know is that vampires cannot impregnate vampires!" Sangermain added, "That's why Malariya declared your marriage to Mosquiton null and void!" He said with defeat written all over his face.

"That is enough!" Rasputin silenced them both. "We can deal with this problem with these twins later. Right now we need to help Lady Natasha DeMon-Hitomebore on finding the girls." He said.

"Yes my Lord."

"Sorry my Lord." Both Sangermain and Camille apologized simutantisly with their head bowed down in respect.

Just then Natasha and Srg. Crondar entered the lounge and joined up with Rasputin and his servants.

"Ahh Natasha." Greeted Rasputin as he kissed Natasha's hand. "Are you ready to begin our search?" The old man asked.

"Yes let's hurry before they found out we are here." Said Natasha impatiently as they left the lounge.

"Mosquiton, if you are here, then I will finally have the pleasure of destroying you." Sangermain thought to himself.

"If that bitch Malariya is here, I will finally have my revenge." Camille said to herself a smile crossing her lips.

Later that day, the Hitomebore sisters and their new guests were now at shop that is called 'Body Hangings' which contained a good collection of capes, scarves, and cloaks.

It didn't take Malariya long to start collecting anything that she saw.

"I'll take this and this, some of these and this, and I'll take this and this, ooh I want this too." Malariya rambled as she took up

any item that she spotted.

"Calm down Malariya!" Said Mahno as he desperately tries to catch up with her. "We can only afford one or two items in here!" He said as he tried to pull her away from a new section.

"Once again, the Malariya Monsoon has struck yet another area." Said Hono as he, Yuki and Tearesa watched Malariya grabbing up a storm.

"And she just warming up." Informed Yuki.

"Is she always like this when she goes shopping?" Tearesa asked.

"Yes." Hono and Yuki answered flatly.

Elsewhere in the store, Inaho was searching through some rack trying to find a new cape for Mosquiton. "Here's one I think you might like." She said as she pulled out a black cotton cape with red lining and handed it over to Mosquiton.

"Are you sure you don't mind paying for this?" Mosquiton asked.

"Don't worry about it, I think I can manage." Inaho reassured him. "Now try it on and let's see how it looks on you."

Mosquiton removed his burned cape and Inaho held it for him. He tried on the new cape and took hold the two sides to open it up.

"Well how does it look?" Inaho asked smiling.

"Well I do like the colors." Mosquiton answered approvingly. "And it's a whole lot lighter than my old one. Yes this one will do nicely." He said, as he stood there fascinated at the selection.

"Okay now let's see how it looks in the mirror." Inaho suggested.

"Um uh are you sure it's a good idea?" Mosquiton's was afraid that she's going to be frightened of what she going to see.

"Oh come on don't tell me your mirror shy." Inaho joked. But when she got him to look at a nearby mirror, she gasped in shock.

"Oh no." Mosquiton thought gravely.

"Y-y-y-you have no reflection." Inaho proclaimed.

"I should've known that Malariya didn't tell you." He acknowledged.

"But that mean you two are vampires?" She pinpointed the obvious.

"You mean you've heard of us?" He questioned.

"Well of course I do." Inaho declared. "I am from Romania." She smiled.

"Then you are not afraid of us?" Mosquiton asked her.

"Well I admit that it was kind of a surprised to me." Inaho confessed. "But I grew up learning about witchcraft and the

supernatural, so I'm sort of used to it. But of course, how you were summoned caught me off guard."

Mosquiton smiled at her comment. "Well the truth is Malariya and I are only 1/4th vampires." He admitted.

"1/4th?" Inaho pondered. "Then that means one of your parents is human and the other one is..."

"Half vampire." Mosquiton finished for her.

"But which one?" She inquired.

"Don't know actually." He replied. "Malariya and I were raised by two humans. We were both found by a noble man and his wife when we were babies and they took us up as their children."

"I see, and you have no idea who you're real parents are or what they looked like?" Inaho interrogated.

"No, I can't say that we have." Mosquiton confirmed. "It never did crossed our minds. We were glad that we had parents at all." He said shyly.

"Well then I'm glad that you are being honest about your past." Inaho praised.

"And I'm glad that you are being well open minded about all this and thank you." He complimented.

They both have a small laugh.

Just then Inaho saw Malariya frantically getting everything she saw. "Gee your sister seems to like shopping a lot." Inaho confirmed.

"Now you know why Hono and Yuki don't like it when she takes us to her 'buying frenzy'." Mosquiton enlightened her so Inaho decided to change the subject.

"Well I think that cape is good on you." Said Inaho with a reassuring smile.

"The cape? Oh yes, well I think I like it too." Replied Mosquiton with a sheepish grin.

"Okay then, lets go buy it." She suggested.

"Okay, we might as well before Malariya puts this place into bankruptcy." Mosquiton joked as they went over to the cash register.

When they got there, they saw Malariya carrying an armload of items that she had picked out. "Hello Darlings, did you find anything you like?" Malariya greeted.

"As a matter of fact we did." Mosquiton answered holding the cape.

"Looks like you found something you like as well." Said Inaho eyeing the products that Malariya had bought.

"Oh indeed I have Inaho Darling." Replied Malariya.

"Gee Malariya, do you think you might have enough?" Mosquiton asked with sarcasm.

"Well this might do for now." Malariya replied.

"Right now I'm hoping we can afford it." Added Mahno as they reached the register.

Moment's later Inaho and her new companions have already paid for their purchases.

Malariya is a bit sadden because she had to return most of the stuff that she wanted and only brought out a small bag.

"I'm sorry Malariya." Mahno coaxed. "But we have to set up a budget for your spending." He said with a small smile.

"But I really like that silk robe with the pretty little white flowers." Malariya pouted.

"It's okay, next time we can get for you." Mahno gave her a reassuring kiss on the cheek.

"My poor sister." Mosquiton smirked. "Now how is she able going to sleep at night." He said sarcastically.

"Don't start Mosqou!" Malariya growled.

They had finally met up with Hono, Yuki and Tearesa who were waiting for them near the entrance.

"Okay we got what we need." Said Inaho.

"Great, excellent, can we go home now?" Hono requested.

"Not so fast my darlings." Malariya regained her enthusiasm. "We still have to find you two something and the girls." She replied, stars shining in her eyes.

"Oh no that's okay." Said Yuki.

"We really don't need anything." Added Hono as they try to get out of this.

"Nonsense, we need to get you some new clothes so that no one will get suspicious." Malariya proclaimed.

"Oh come on Malariya, you just wanted an excuse to go on another shopping spree." Mosquiton inculpated.

"That is not true." Malariya defended herself. "I'm just thinking about their well being." She pouted

"Yeah right." Mosquiton muttered as he rolled his eyes.

"So Inaho darling, do you know any other places where we can do our shopping?" Malariya asked her.

"Well there's this shopping center that Tearesa and I like to go on the weekends." Inaho answered.

"Excellent, then lets get going." Malariya praised. "You lead." She said and headed out the door with the others reluctantly following behind.

"She never gets tired doesn't she." Inaho assumed.

"Not until she runs out of spending money." Replied Mosquiton.

Some where in the downtown area, our five enemies in their separate cars are patrolling the streets in search of the locations of the Hitomebore sister's new residence.

"There it is my Lord." Said Sangermain as he is referring to the three-story house that is coming to view.

"Excellent Sangermain" Rasputin complimented. "We must inform Lady DeMon-Hitomebore at once." He ordered and Camille dialed the number on her cell phone.

In the other car, Natasha's cell phone rang and she answered. "Hello, Natasha speaking." She replied, slightly annoyed.

"Hello Lady DeMon-Hitomebore." Camille greeted. "This is Camille, we have just found the girls' new home." She said smugly.

"You have?" Said Natasha sounding astonish. "Yes and were are about to come to it." Camille informed her.

"Excellent." Natasha commended as the two cars arrived at their destination and parked right across the house.

"We are here Lady DeMon-Hitomebore." Camille announced.

"Finally, this is Natasha over and out." She replied and hung up the phone.

"We did it Mylady." Said Crondar. "We finally found the girls." He was so happy that this hide and seek game was coming to an end.

"Yes Srg., and soon those two brats will pay for making a fool of me." Natasha responded with venom in her voice.

"I'll go over first to see if anyone is home." Sangermain volunteer.

"Very well my servant." Rasputin approved. "If any of the girls resists do what it takes but try not to harm them." He sneered slightly "Lady DeMon-Hitomebore needs them to be intact." And he shooed Sangermain to go.

"As you wish Master." Sangermain obeyed and got out of the car and went over to the house. He immediately rang the doorbell and waited patiently for a response. No answer except for a certain dog barking. He rang it again. Still no answer but the dog. Then Sangermain casually went back to the car.

"Is there a problem?" Camille asked.

"I'm afraid that no one is home right now except some blasted watch dog." Answered Sangermain.

"I would thought as much." Added Rasputin. "Wonderful, now how are we going to explain this Natasha?"

Camille questioned.

"There's something more." Sangermain confirmed. "When I got to the house, I notice there's a familiar presence."

"What could possibly that mean?" Rasputin inquired.

"It was the Mosquiton twins my Lord." Sangermain replied.

"Mosquiton?" Camille repeated surprisingly excited.

"Yes, I don't how to explain this, but it seems that they got here before us." He said as his anger started to get the best of him.

"But what do they want with the girls?" Camille queried.

"The real question is, how did they now about the Hitomebore sisters?" Rasputin acknowledged. "I honestly have no idea Master." Sangermain confessed. "But if they are connected with them then we need to take extra precaution."

Camille handed him her cell phone and he dialed Natasha's cell phone.

Srg. Crondar answered the phone this time. "Hello, Srg. Crondar speaking." He greeted. "What? Oh no, that can't be good."

Natasha turned to interest. "What is it Srg.?" She demanded.

"Well ma'am, the good news is that we are at the right place." Said Crondar trying to break the new to Natasha as gently as possible. "Yes I can see that you dolt." Said Natasha harshly. "Well you see, the bad news is..." He gulped, knowing that she's going to be very upset by this. "They're not home." He yelped.

"What!?" Natasha hollered.

"Now calm down M'lady." Crondar cowered. "It's still a school day, maybe they haven't come home yet." He said, as he remained cowering.

"Very well then." She regained her composure but was still fuming. "Tell them to go back to the hotel and that we will come back here later today on a more appropriate time." She ordered.

"Yes ma'am" He obeyed and returned to the phone.

"Mm-hmm. Yes. I see. Very well then, we shall go back to hotel and wait over there." Said Sangermain as he hangs up the

phone.

"Come, let us leave this place before the people start to get suspicions." Rasputin suggested.

"As you command Sire." Camille replied as the two cars started to take off.

The Hitomebore sisters and their new friends were now at the 'New Orleans Centre'. One of the largest shopping malls in New

Orleans.

The first stop, Macy's department store made Malariya think she was in heaven. "It's like a dream come true." Said Malariya with a wide-eyed dreamy look on her face.

"Now remember dear." Said Mahno bringing his head in the clouds of his wife back to reality. "We are only here to help get outfits for Mosquiton, Hono, Yuki, and the Hitomebore sisters."

"Yes yes of course I remember." Malariya replied regaining her senses.

"Now then first off, the youth department." She suggested and the others followed her with some remorse.

"How about this one?" Tearesa asked as she handed Yuki a light blue tank top with matching spandex pants.

"Well the shorts are okay, but I need something a that I can grow into." Yuki informed.

"But how will you be able to fit in it?" Tearesa questioned.

Then Mosquiton explained to both Inaho and Tearesa why Hono and Yuki need clothes that will fit both a child and an adult.

"Well is that the case," Said Inaho as she looked through the racks. "Maybe this might do." She handed Yuki a blue and silver

stretch shirt.

"Oh and this will go so lovely with this darling white pleated skirt." Added Malariya as she, Inaho, and Tearesa gave Yuki the items they selected and she went over to the fitting room.

Seconds later Yuki came out wearing the outfit that they picked out and it looked good on her. The white skirt came down to her knees, which was fine by her.

"Oh Yuki darling you wonderful!" Malariya complimented.

"Really?" Yuki asked.

"It's perfect for you." Inaho answered.

"I like it." Added Tearesa.

"Thank you." Yuki replied shyly with a small blush on her cheeks.

"Now then it's Hono's turn." Malariya announced.

"Oh Mistress Malariya do I have to." Hono whined.

"Yes you must." She proclaimed. "You need some new outfits so that people won't be suspicious of you."

"Oh okay." Hono sighed.

"Don't worry, I bet you look good in anything." Said Tearesa making him comfortable.

"You sure?" Hono asked slightly blushing.

"Sure, lets go." Tearesa replied as they went over to the boys' section.

Hono was relieved when he found some nice baggy pants, over sized sweaters, and youth large shirts. He came out of the dressing room wearing a large green sweater and a pair of khaki colored hospital pants. "Well what do you think?" He asked.

"I like it." Tearesa complimented.

"You do?" Hono blushed some more. "Thanks I kind of like it myself." He replied as he stared at his feet.

"Oh it looks fine you Hono darling." Malariya declared.

"Luckily for us it's the fall season and the store is have a special discounts on sweaters." Inaho enlightened.

"Then it that case I'll take it." Hono claimed.

"Very well then, now lets' go back to the girls section so we can find something little Tearesa." Malariya offered.

"Oh no that's okay, really." Said Tearesa.

"Nonsense darling, I insists." Malariya persisted and everyone went back to the girls' section.

This time it was Yuki's turn to help her pick an outfit. "Here are some that I think you might like." Said Yuki as she handed Tearesa some clothing articles.

"Okay if you say so." Replied Tearesa she went into the fitting room.

Seconds later she came out wearing a pink tank top over a lavender shirt topped with a white vest. And to finish the outfit, a

pair of matching leggings and a white pleated skirt. "Well how do I looked." She asked shyly.

"Oh you look absolutely adorable Tearesa Darling." Malariya praised.

"That's a really cute outfit Tearesa." Added Inaho smiling.

Hono just stood there with his mouth open, eyes glazed over, blushing a bright red and was having trouble breathing.

"See even Hono likes it." Yuki informed with a smile at Tearesa's direction.

Tearesa just giggle a bit. She never had this effect on a boy before. She never had any effect on a boy before. "Thanks. I'll take it." She accepted.

"Excellent, now it's the grown ups turn." Said Malariya triumphedly. "Ladies first, come Inaho Darling." She said happily as she skipped along.

"Well...okay." Said Inaho as the whole group went on their way.

Moments later Inaho and Malariya were in the dressing rooms trying on some new outfits.

Malariya was the first to step out, wearing black strapless dress that came down to her thighs. Matching stockings and high-heeled open toe shoes. A diamond choker wrapped around her small neck as the golden hoop earrings shone in the light. "Well what do you think?" Malariya asked while posing.

Mahno just stood there and drooled over his lovely wife and her new outfit.

Mosquiton smirked. "You know Malariya, if Mother were still alive and sees you in that outfit, she'll probably call you a..." He was cut off in mid sentence by her.

"Say it and you'll lose your reason for being a man." Malariya growled shutting him up.

"Me likes it." Mahno complimented still in his drooling mode. "Me likes it a lot." He was nodding like an idiot with drool dribbling to the floor.

"Oh you are so sweet my Mahno." Malariya gave him a kiss on the lips, which caused him to go faint.

"Weirdo." Mosquiton humph silently so that Malariya wouldn't hear him.

"Um Malariya, are you sure about this outfit?" Inaho asked from the dressing room.

"It's okay my dear, come out and lets have a look." Malariya encouraged her.

Inaho did what she asked and came out wearing a red halter top over a form fitting black long sleeved stretch shirt and matching mini skirt.

Mosquiton went into the same trance that Hono was in.

"Oh Inaho Darling that looks wonderful on you." Malariya approved. "What do you think Mosquo?" She asked her twin brother who some how is lost for words.

"I...eh.... uh" Mosquiton mumbled.

"He likes it." Malariya told Inaho giving her a cheery smile. Inaho just blushed slightly.

"Well I guess it's okay. Thank you." Inaho replied, still blushing.

"Then it settled, we are buying theses outfits." Malariya declared. "Now it's the men's' turn."

Mahno came to and Mosquiton snapped out of his trance.

"Excuse me." They both asked.

"You two think we were going to leave you out of this. Did you?" Malariya confirmed.

"But I thought you just wanted to shop for you, Inaho, and the kids." Mahno said as he tried to recall their talk.

"Yes well, I've been meaning to get you some new clothes." Malariya acknowledged. "And you, my dear brother,

are in need of a new wardrobe." She informed Mosquiton.

"Now hold on a sec Malariya." Mosquiton debated. "I've already got new cape."

"But that's not enough." Malariya pinpointed out for him. "We have to get you some more clothes so that you'll be able to

blend in." Malariya smirked at him.

"If you want I'll be happy to help you pick out something." Inaho volunteer.

"You...you will?" Mosquiton asked in surprised. No one has ever been this nice to him before.

"Sure it will be fun and we can get to know each other more." Inaho proclaimed with a small smile.

"See even Inaho agrees with me." Malariya confirmed.

"Well...okay then." Mosquiton accepted and the whole group went over the men's department.

"Once again, the master has fallen for a human." Hono declared.

"You should know how that feels." Yuki reminded him.

"Will you be quiet." Hono hissed and Yuki just snickered at his expense.

"What's so funny?" Tearesa asked.

"Oh uh nothing." Hono answered trying to muffled Yuki's snickering.

"We're just having lots of fun that I couldn't contain myself." Yuki added in defense.

"Oh okay." Tearesa took that answer in slide.

In the men's department, the girls were already sorting out clothes for the boys. "This is nice." Said Malariya handing

a variety of clothing to Mahno. "And this and this and this one too. Ooh I like this one." She was starting to get more and more excited about shopping.

"Um Malariya dear, I think that's just about it for today." Mahno acknowledged.

"Very well then Mahno." Replied Malariya. "Why don't you go on the fitting room and try some of them." She asked as she handed him his clothes.

"Okay." Mahno responded and went into the dressing room.

While at the same time, Inaho was sorting out clothes and was handing them out to Mosquiton with Hono, Yuki, and Tearesa close by.

She also took this as an opportunity to ask him some more questions. "So what it's like being 1/4th vampire?" She asked.

"Oh it's not so bad." Mosquiton answered. "Unlike full vampires, we get go out in the sunlight, eat real food, especially garlic or anything that has garlic in it. We don't get even warded off by religious symbols like the cross." He replied adding a small smile.

"So in other words you have all the strengths and none of the weaknesses. I think I've seen that movie before." Inaho said silently.

"Huh?" He asked quite confused at what she was saying.

"Nothing" She said smiling and continued "So what else?"

He took a small breath. "Well there are a couple of draw backs." Mosquiton admitted. "We actually have to drink blood and we can be killed by a stake through the heart."

That last part made Inaho very concern.

"Oh don't worry, I am bound to you by your blood." He reassured her.

"But what does that mean?" She questioned.

"If I ever get stake through the heart and turn into ashes, all you have to do shed some small drops of blood on me and I'll be brought back to life." He said as he plastered his face with his funny smile. "But it has to be your blood." He reminded her.

"Okay, I understand." She said hoping that it will never happen. Not that she doesn't want to help; she doesn't want to see him get hurt or killed.

They finally came across one of the dressing rooms and Inaho directed Mosquiton in so he could try on the clothes that Inaho help pick out.

Inaho stood next to the room and Tearesa, Hono, and Yuki were somewhere close by.

It's Mosquiton's turn to ask Inaho some questions. "So please tell a me a little bit about yourself." He inquired.

"I'm afraid it's not as interesting as yours." Said Inaho sounding a bit solemn. "My mother died when I was seven years old. It

was three days after she gave birth to my sister, Tearesa." She said sadly.

"I'm sorry to hear that Inaho." Mosquiton gave his condolences.

"Thank you, it was very kind for you to say so." Inaho accepted. "Two years later my father met a woman who we thought will be fine mother for Tearesa and me and married her."

Mosquiton cut her off. "Natasha DeMon." He guessed.

"You heard of her?" Inaho asked confusingly.

"Only of what Malariya told me." Mosquiton enlightened her. "She informed Hono, Yuki, and I about how she used to treat you and your sister." He said as he looked at her with concern.

"Really, what else did she told you about us?" Inaho question some more.

"Well according to Malariya, she says that your grandmother loved the two of you very much and how she never really trusted your stepmother." Mosquiton replied.

"Yeah I was kind of wondering about that myself." Inaho confirmed. "Anyway, we thought everything was going to be okay

again. But then something didn't feel right." Inaho grew more sullen. "Natasha grew colder and cruel towards us. She was only nice to

us when our father was around." Her voice started to tremble a bit. "Then about a year later, my father died of food poisoning."

Mosqiton looked at her in shock. "That's awful." Mosquiton sympathized.

"I know." Said Inaho with tears starting up in her eyes. "I know.." She wasn't able to hold her tears any longer; she felt

Mosquiton's reassuring hand on her shoulder pulling her close. "I promise that we will not let that woman near you...ever again." He lightly kissed her forehead he looked up and his eyes were full of determination.

"Oh that is so beautiful!" Screamed a familiar, annoying, female voice.

Mosquiton quickly turned around and saw Malariya standing between a couple of racks.

She pulled out a handkerchief and started dabbing at her eyes as if she was crying. "I knew you two would get along but I never thought that it would go this well!" She said with a happy smile planted on her face.

Both Mosquiton and Inaho quickly pulled away from each other.

"Sheesh Malariya!" Mosquiton screamed. "Do you have to sneak up people like that?" His voice showed his annoyment

to the interruption.

"But, it was such a Kawaii moment!" Said Malariya with small but sly smile "I should have brought my camera." She muttered under her breath. Inaho just blushed in embarrassment and looked down at her feet.

"He was only comforting me Malariya." Inaho said softly and Mosquiton quickly agreed with her, his head bobbing up and down madly.

Malariya just rolled her eyes at their statement "By the way, love the outfit my brother." Mosquiton just then remembered that he was wearing the outfit that Inaho had selected for him.

He blushed slightly and smiled. "Thanks, by the way... did you like shopping today Sis?" He said with a sly smile.

Malariya frowned, "I hate you so much Little Brother dear." She growled emphasizing little brother with a snarl.

"FIVE MINUITES!! IT WAS ONLY FIVE DAMN MINUITES!!" Screamed Mosquiton. He started to growl at her and she

started to growl back, their fangs gleaming brightly.

Inaho backed away from them with a huge sweat drop forming on her head when a huge gust of wind went past her. She blinked twice and noticed that Mahno had Malariya in his arms pulling her away from Mosquiton who was making faces at her. "This

is getting weirder and weirder by the minute." She told herself as she is watching this semi-remarkable event.

"Are they always like this?" Tearesa asked.

"Yes." Hono answered plainfully his eyes rolling.

"Ever since they were babies they were always constantly on each others throats." Yuki said as she rolled her eyes as well and the four of them continued to watch the two vampires try to rip each other's hearts out.

"Calm down Malariya! Calm down! Before we start drawing an audience." Mahno said as he tried to restrain his raging wife.

"Just let me maim him just a little I promise that I won't stab him with a stake! Just this once!" Malariya screamed as she tried to struggle from her strong husband grasp.

"As much I would love to see you scratch Mosquiton into a bloody pulp..." Mahno coaxed getting the death gaze from Mosquiton. "But if you do you'll lose your chance of being an aunt." He said as he whispered in her ear.

That brought Malariya back to reality and she began to regain her composure. "Very well then." Malariya sighed in defeat she looked over at her brother and replied "you win this time." and offered her hand to her brother.

Mosquiton accepted and shook her hand as they gave each other mischievous smiles knowing that they would be able to

finish it anytime.

"Well I'm glad that's over with. I thought they would stake each other or something." Said Inaho relieved that the

twins had ended their little dispute.

"I'm very sorry you had to see that Inaho." Mosquiton apologized slightly worried and upset.

"Mosquo and I get carried away with these things sometimes." Added Malariya with a sheepish grin.

"Sometimes? I would say all the time." Replied Hono under his breath to Tearesa who just gave a slightly confused smile.

"Oh it's alright. Tearesa and I know some kids at school that hardly ever get along with their brothers and sisters." Inaho said and forgave them with a smile. "But not to that extent." She thought as she looked at the two.

Mosquiton and Malariya gave a small smile to Inaho.

Mahno looked at his watch and his slight smile turned into amazement. "Oh Man! It's fifteen minutes past noon." He announced.

"Oh dear we miss lunch time. Oh you poor dears are probably starving." Said Malariya, her voice oozing with concern.

"Well I didn't have a chance to finish breakfast." Inaho confessed.

"I know. I'm sorry Darling." Malariya replied her head hung a little in guilt.

"Oh it's no problem." Inaho reassured her. "There's nice café not too far from here. The food is delicious and they have a wonderful dessert selection." Inaho said as she tried to raise everyone's spirits.

"Did you say desserts?" Malariya asked with stars in her eyes and a wide smile.

"Uh-hu. The place is call La Madeline's and it's less then a minute from here." Inaho answered with a sweat drop forming on

her head, she had to admit they were weird.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Malariya squealed with delight and took off.

"Wait for us Malariya!" Mahno called as he ran after his wife.

"Congratulations. You have just discovered Malariya's second weakness." Said Mosquiton as he groaned.

"And that is..." Inaho asked but she knew what he was about to say.

"Sweets." He replied.

"Well we might as well get going then." Hono advised.

"Yeah, before the Mistress drives off and gets lost." Added Yuki in a slightly tired tone and the rest of the group walked

out of the store towards the car where Malariya and Mahno were waiting for them.

Malariya was frantically honking the car horn. "Let's hurry everyone!" Malariya shouted. "I want to be there before all the good desserts are gone."

"Relax dear, we'll make it in good time." Mahno consoled her.

"I hope this place has some really hot sandwiches, Oh, raise the heat up. It's too cold" Said Hono as he, Yuki, and Tearesa

got into the car.

"I'm hoping that they'll have some frozen salads. Oh, it's too hot. Please raise the air conditioner cause its way too hot in here." Said Yuki fanning herself off while Hono was rubbing his hands together to warm them.

"Don't worry, I'm sure that we'll find you two something that you'd like." Said Tearesa with a giggle as she placed her hands on their shoulders.

Being this close made Hono blush violently while Yuki gave out a silent giggle.

Mosquiton and Inaho were the last ones to enter the car.

"Is everyone present and accounted for?" Malariya asked making sure that no one is left out.

"Yes." They answered half groaning in agony, to them this was Hell, except for Inaho and Tearesa whom had no clue what was coming.

"Okay then let's get going." Said Mahno as he started the car and drove out of the parking lot quickly.

"Malariya sure takes her sweets seriously." Said Inaho sweat drops forming at every angle as she tried to smile kindly, although it looked more like a 'What is going on smile'.

"Welcome to my world Inaho." Said Mosquiton in a slight grave tone. He then looked out of the moving vehicle admiring the changes that the century had brought. He was amazed at all the technology and was soon lost in his own world.

Back at the Queen and Crescent Hotel, the five were thinking of the plan to get the girls.

"Maybe we can break into the house and wait for them there! Then we snag them and fly back home!" Srg. Crondar

suggested.

"Don't be a brainless moron Crondar! Haven't you forgotten that they now have that watchdog there?!" Natasha lashed out she couldn't believe that he was the best out of her guards.

"Perhaps I can think of something that just might work." Said Rasputin in a low raspy tone.

"Please tell us your plan Master." Sangermain inquired.

"You know that the average American school ends between 2:30pm to around 4:30pm." Rasputin acknowledged.

"Of course, the girls would probably be home by then." Camille guessed.

"No I was just saying it because it might risen our tune Camille!" Rasputin said sarcastically as he slapped her across the room. "So our best speculation is that we go the house at 5pm." Rasputin replied as he looked at the others.

"Excellent! They will be too stupid to know any better!" Natasha approved the plan.

"There is one drawback Lady DeMon-Hitomebore." Sangermain pinpointed out.

"Why is that?" Natasha asked annoyingly with one eyebrow raised.

"The girls will not come if they see you." Camille called out.

"But they don't know us so it will be easy to gain their trust." Rasputin ratified.

"That is if Mosquiton is there with them." Sangermain thought to himself, a growl forming on his face.

"Very well then. What time is it Crondar?" Natasha ordered.

"It's 12:30pm your Ladyship." Srg. Crondar replied as he looked at his watch.

"This is maddening! How much longer do we have to wait?!" Groaned Natasha in fury.

"Patience, my dear Natasha, patience. Soon you'll have the girls back in no time." Rasputin trying to her calm down.

"Fine! At 4:50pm we will leave to get the girls, and that's final!" Natasha said as she began to regain her composure.

"As you command Lady DeMon-Hitomebore." Sangermain responded as he bowed down before her.

All five of them gave out an evil laugh.

Will their plan to capture Inaho and Tearesa succeed? But, what will happen if they run into the Mosquiton twins? What will happen? Go and Find out in chapter 4 of Master Mosquiton: New Beginning.
