The perfect woman.

Silver-grey eyes glowed in the darkness of the room. They looked in a tender manner at the white haired girl smiling ear to ear at him. He blew out a breath and continued to look at the gentle girl as if she was his universe, as if the world that was the wide bedroom had disappeared.

The girl raised her arm, her tender palm touched his pale face. She left a warm trail on his cold face, narrowing down to his sharp jaw. Her bell blue eyes followed her soft fingers which left a trail of heat on the skin of him. "Ju, My King," She whispered as her hand lowered, going down on his pale neck, and then his broad ***** chest.

The man- Ju- breathed out as if she was stealing every breath of his with each movement of her fingers on his chest. "You are a handsome man, Ju," she muttered under her breath, her bell blue eyes looking up at the silver-grey eyes that never left her face.

She smiled at him. A tender, and kind smile, free of deception or trickery. His slow beating heart slammed against his chest violently, and he felt his cold body feeling warm. He blinked comically, "Emilia," he called out.

"Hm?" She replied, her attention away from her touching, but her fingers still remained on his chest.

"Say you love me, Emi," he suddenly said. She gave him a confused look. "Why now, Ju? Are you feeling unsure of my feelings again?" She asked.

He then caught her small wrist. His long fingers surrounded her wrist as he said. "I am never unsure of anything, My love, but I must hear you say my most treasured words again."

She giggled at his words. "You are like a child, Ju. Always seeking attention!"

He broke into a smile of his own upon her words. Only this girl could use such words on him and still have her beautiful head on her shoulders. His hand moved, reaching for her face when her figure spontaneously disappeared.

A fearful look appeared on his face when he realized everything around him had disappeared. It dawned on him that he was not with the love of his life but in a box, having his day sleep. His fingers curled into a tight fist and his locked jaw ticked. An expression of hatred and disappointment filled his face as he realized he was merely dreaming as usual. None of it was real…. Anymore.

A hand pushed open the box. The box was a coffin and when he opened it he was greeted with a bright light. He came out of the coffin, and stretched his limbs, yawning and revealing his sharp fangs.

A middle aged man, standing firm with an expressionless face and perfectly permed black suit, with white locks peppered around his black hair. "Good afternoon, Master Ju Bal."

Ju Bal looked at the butler, who looked like a mere statue, standing still, and expressionless. He smiled, a smile that was sweet but scary. "Leonard, good afternoon." He approached leonard.

Ju Bal collected a cigar stick from the packet of cigars and lit it. He walked away, headed for the balcony attached to the lathe room where the coffin was placed. "Master Ju, Lady Catherine and Lord Caesar have come looking for you." The butler said.

Ju Bal did not reply, simply looking at the busy streets miles away from his building. Motors, and pedestrians used the street, each going about their lives unaware of the monster that lived miles away from them.

"Caesar? It seems Yomi has joined his idle sister in switching names." He said with a smile, crunching the end of his cigar stick on the balcony edge.

The butler wore his blank look when he replied. "Master Ju, Lord Caesar has ordered the infidel lowborn creatures of the underworld to no longer refer to him as 'Abayomi', as he said- Yomi has died and there is only Caesar now. He made this proclamation a hundred years ago."

Ju Bal harrumph softly. Yomi was the Vampire ruler of the italian mafia. On the outside it was just a mafia that dealt with drugs, and guns but for those who were qualified to know Yomi was the King of a whole Vampire army. The infidel lowborn the butler was referring to were weak supernatural creatures with a deity that they believed in. These creatures took sanctuary in Yomi's 'mafia' and in return they swore loyalty to Yomi.

Ju Bal turned around, casually making his way out of the room. It had been far too long that Ju Bal had hidden himself away in his casket, only to awaken for a single purpose. It seemed as if many things had passed since he had slept to nourish his strength.

The house seemed built like a castle. The designs were not casual and the pillars were huge. The doors opened so he could enter the dining room. Ju Bal's silver-grey eyes brightened in a mischievous manner and his lips pulled up into a scary smirk as he stared at the man and woman in the dining room.

Yomi Casa Blanc stood up from the chair as he saw Ju Bal. Yomi was a tanned man, almost brown skinned. He had brown soft hair that looked as soft as the clouds. His eyes were a pair of deep set dark grey eyes shaped widely, soft red lips, and a firm sharp jaw. Yomi had a cross tattoo below his eye, and piercings filled his ears. The man was wearing a turtleneck white shirt, a long brown coat, fitted black pants, shiny sleek black shoes, black leather gloves, and a red cross on his neck.

"Brother Ju," Yomi greeted the silver haired man in a pair of brown brocade made pajamas.

The girl seated across Yomi brightened like a Christmas tree upon seeing Ju Bal. She had chest length hair which looked heavily dyed to look silver colored. She wore a simple knee length dress with a net weave sleeve, and a net weaved turtleneck. Her face was thin and her eyes were like Yomi's grey, only a bit brighter.

She parted her small lips to speak. "Brother Ju, we rushed over to see you upon hearing you were waking up today." She rushed over to Ju Bal to hurriedly hug him.

Ju Bal's eyes looked down at the shorter woman. Ju Bal being a man who hated touch dragged her away from him before saying, "You haven't changed a bit Neferet, you still run around touching those above you like a clueless child." He had a sweet smile on his face.

The smile on the woman's face died. Yomi spoke for her. "Brother Ju Bal, she goes by Catherine now."

Ju Bal walked past her and took a seat at the head of the table. "Oh I heard, Yomi, Catherine is quite a beautiful name."

Yomi's eyes twitched. "Brother Ju, I go by Caesar now in case you have not heard."

Ju Bal brought a bloody meat to his lips, poking his soft red tongue out to taste it before speaking. "Yes, I have heard, although I must say the change is meaningless. We must never forget our roots and changing your name is doing so, don't you think….. Yomi?" His eyes glinted with tease and threats.

Yomi wasn't scared of the scary look in Ju Bal's eyes. It wasn't that Ju Bal was trying to scare him, Yomi knew this was the way Ju Bal's eyes looked, even being around him made one feel like they were in grave danger.

Ju Bal after all was no small creature. He was the avatar of the mighty deity known as the Bringer of doom. Ju Bal was a less powerful version of that powerful deity and even then he was still very strong.

"Of course you're right Brother Ju," the girl, Catherine conceded to Ju Bal as usual.

"I take it you are all here to not just greet me?" He asked while his butler poured a cold jar of red liquid in his cup. "What do you want?"

Yomi spoke. "Brother Ju, I have finally located the Phoenix totem."

Ju Bal lifted his eyes from his food with a happy smile on his face. "Seriously? My, Yomi, you are more competent than your wandering siblings."

Yomi's jaw ticked. Ju Bal had a habit of entering the skin of others. He always knew how to set someone off. "So tell me where is the totem?" Ju Bal asked.

The artifact was something he had been searching for, for long now. He was naturally as excited as he could be, knowing it had been found.

"In a museum in a tiny city called Memphis." Catherine hurriedly answered.

Ju Bal nodded. "Good, have the museum send the totem to you."

"Already tried Ju Bal. They don't want anything I offered, apparently the founding family as well as the government townsmen are 'upright christian families'. They would not even spare me a consideration."

Ju Bal's nice smile twitched for a moment before he responded. "You must be joking, I think? Upright christian family….. I had just praised you for your competence, Yomi," He sighed. "Forget this. If you want something done right you must do it yourself. I'll collect this totem though my own means."

"Ju Bal, this is not Camelot. You can not cause a scene." Yomi hurriedly warned.

Ju Bal tilted his head like a cute puppy with an adorable smile on his face. "Since when have I ever caused a scene?"

Yomi sighed with wide eyes, running back his memories of Ju Bal.

Ju Bal ripped the hands off a man in church for touching his garment.

"Fúcking knowtow to your elder!" Ju Bal shouted in rage at the pack of beaten witches that had tried to kill him.

"Shall I burn the entire village for you my love?" Ju Bal asked his love in front of the subjects that attended the wedding.

"Kill the entire pack of wolves…." Ju Bal said with a smile, watching fire burn the werewolf village, and enjoying their screams.

Yomi shook his head from remembering all of Ju Bal's spectacles.

"Brother Ju Bal, the King of the werewolves is intending to marry a lowly Vampire girl. I saw her myself and she wasn't much of a beauty, I wonder what the mutt was thinking." Catherine told Ju Bal.

Ju Bal darted his silver-grey eyes at Catherine. "You should not expect much from dogs. Their brains are non-existent."

Catherine nodded, taking in Ju Bal's words as if it was the law. "But Brother Ju, what kind of woman would you like if you were to move on from…. Her."

Ju Bal's face hardened at her question. Yomi quickly entered the conversation. "Don't ask ridiculous questions, Catherine!"

Ju Bal waved his hand at Yomi. "No, it's fine. I feel the need to answer."

Ju Bal grabbed Catherine's hands looking at her with another one of his scary smirks. "I want a woman who is kind yet knows what she wants. I want a woman who can stare at me in the eyes and say what she wants. I want a seemingly delicate female who is actually filled with fire that can burn this world down and most importantly I want a woman whose silver hair isn't fake."

Ju Bal's hands tightened on hers. Yomi could hear the sounds of bones nearing their breaking point before Ju Bal let her go. Catherine, though, didn't care for the pain on her hands that would heal. She only cared that Ju Bal's description spoke of his lover who had died long ago. She fumed knowing Ju Bal might never forget about her.

Ju Bal raised the glass to his lips before saying with a smirk. "I wonder where I can find a woman like that?"

...•••...

In Memphis city, Champagne street was a blue house.

A chubby girl poked her pink tongue out of her mouth while she played a game seriously. Fire filled her eyes as she played. "Back off Howard, the Vampire King is mine!" She yelled while gritting her teeth.

"I'll kill youuuu!!!" She yelled while bullets flying everywhere in the game. Finally WINNER appeared on the screen.

She jumped from her seat. "Screw off losers and bow down to Game Queen Celina!" She yelled into her headphone.

Her piercing blue eyes excitedly looked at the screen with WINNER on it. Her short blonde hair tied into a ponytail swayed as she jumped around.

Knock Knock, a loud knock came from outside her door. "Celina the bus is leaving, You better run down if you wanna make it to the museum!" Somebody yelled from outside the room.

She stopped her dancing and grabbed her iPod, headed for the bus which would take her to Memphis city Museum.
