Chapter Five
It was quiet throughout the large Van Helsing manor as most people were settling down for the evening. Maids were finishing their tasks for the day while Butlers were preparing the beds for the household. Not many people were doing any kind of hard labor through most of the household, till you got to the training room.
Inside the sound of metal clashing together was bouncing off the soundproof walls were large and exquisite paintings hung. A man in a head butler suit was sitting in a brown leather armchair with a pen in his hand and a journal in his lap. Two figures were on a mat in the center of the room, one dressed in a black fencing uniform while the other wore the standard white. Both of them have a rubber tipped Reaper in their dominant hand.
"I think our skills are still the same," a female voice laughed from behind the white mask while blocking a lunge from the black before attacking back. The other female laughed as well before trying to block the others attack but at the last minute, they twisted their sword under theirs. The rubber tipped swords of the one in white hit the chest of the black one and it stayed there for a second before they back away.
"Bailar, what's the score," another female voice came from behind the black mask as they dropped their arm to their side, the tip of sword barely touching the floor. The man in the chair looked down at his book for a moment to check, before looking back up at the mask females.
"11 to 17, Lady Van Helsing," he answered in a British accent making the female in black sigh in discontent while the on win white bowed in victory. The girl in black undid the back of her mask before slipping it off revealing her short back frizzy hair.
"At least it's not another draw," Kylie sighed with a slight smile as she walked over to the table with other suits and a rack of other swords next to it. She placed the sword black into its places before turning back to the white fencer, who had been laughing. She sighed while crossing her arms and raised an eyebrow that the other. "What's so funny?"
"I don't think I have ever heard someone happy about losing," The female chuckled while undoing the back of her mask before pulling it off, long brown hair falling out. Alexis blew a piece out of her face as she held her mask between her hip and arm. "Great now my head's sweaty," She laughed breathily while running a hand through her slightly damp hair.
"And that's one of the reasons I like mine short," Kylie smirked before catching the sisters mask before it hit her face. She glared at Alexis who was walking over before placing her face guard on the table next to hers. She ran her own hand through her hair before walking over to a changing room to get out of her uniform while Alexis placed her sword back into its place.
"Yeah not cutting of my hair," Alexis deadpanned loudly to her sister before walking into her own changing room to take off her own uniform. Bailar finished up his notes on the girls fencing practice before standing up, while fixing his blazer, just as the girls came out from their rooms.
Kylie was wearing a black wolf tank top and ripped jean shorts with her regular combat boots. Her usual wolf necklace was on along with a silver shield and sword crest ring along with a gold chain belt hanging loosely around her hips. Her hair was slightly curled from sweat but it was still mostly straight.
Alexis black ripped jeans and a white tank top that said 'TRICK OR TREAT' while a red flannel shirt was around her waist. She had on black heeled combat boots and her moon and glowing gem necklace on along with a silver chain wallet chain hanging from her belt and back pocket. Her hair was tied into a high ponytail with just her side bangs and baby hair left out.
Kylie sighed and lightly rolled her eyes at her brunette twin sister before setting down her folded uniform on the bench next to her mask "I never-"
She was cut off by a maid rushing into the training room painting. The sisters turned to each other with raised eyebrows before turning back to the maid waiting for her to speak. The maid took in a deep breath before looking at the twins.
"The guests are awake, My ladies," she bowed as Alexis quickly placed her next to her own mask, not bothering to fold it. Kylie and Alexis rushed out of the room, almost knocking the maid over in the process. Bailar sighed before quickly following his mistresses.

"Where the hell are we," Ryuji yelled at one of the nurses who had been trying to calm him down. His friends were in bed's close to him all panicked and confused about where they were at. Yusuke was 'politely' going off on a maid that had been attending to him just as Anne was. Makoto and Haru were trying to get information on the same subject out of their own frightened maids while Futaba was panicking and mumbling things about being kidnapped. Ren, on the other hand, was just sitting there on his bed with a blank and slight confused look, observing everything, not really sure what to do.
"You can't keep us here, its illegal. You're kidnapping us," Anne yelled at a maid who looked scared but still tried to help the confused young girl. Anne swatted her hands away before whipping her head to the door, the same as her friends when a chuckle came from its direction.
"We wouldn't be charged with kidnapping if you were deathly injured. It would just be helping out a fellow citizen, technically," A familiar female voice explained as the clicking of heels and the tapping of shoe soles accompanied. The group saw two girls, one with long dark brown hair and the other with short black, along with a male with a suit walking towards them.
"Who the hell are you and where the hell are we," Ryuji yelled at the three new arrives. The two girls looked at each other with smirks while the male shook his head at Ryuji. The blonde glared and growled that the three before trying to stand up but was stopped by one of the nurses. "Don't touch me!!"
"You don't have to be so rude," the one with short black hair hissed while crossing her arms, glaring at the male. The male turned his glare to the female as she scoffed at him before turning to the maid. "You all can go, we can take it from here."
"Yes, my lady," all the servants bowed before exiting the room, except the butler - he stood quietly to the side. The females watched the maids leave before turning back to the group.
"Now to answer your questions," The brunette smiled warmly while sitting on the edge of Rens bed as the other did with Yusuke's. "My name is Alexandra Skyler Van Helsing co-heir to the Van Helsing estate," Alexis explained while pressing the palm of her hand into her chest. All the group nodded slowly or glared at her before she continued. "And this is my twin sister Kylie Ellane Van Helsing, my co-heir to the estate," She pointed to her sister with an open palm before turning to Yusuke when he spoke up.
"Where are we and why did you bring us," He asked with a slight growl in his voice while skeptical observing the two girls sitting on the beds. Kylie sighed while crossing her arms while Alexis rolled her eyes with a scoff.
"I think it would have been when my sister said we were co-heirs," Kylie sighed before turning just her torso, so she could look at the blue-haired painter. "We are at the Van Helsing Manor, a few miles away from major cities," Kylie explained with a sigh.
"And for the reason we brought you guys here," Alexis started, picking up after her sister. She ran her hand through her hair, " You guys were critically injured, some more then others," Kylie glanced at Yusuke while Alexis glanced at Ren. "So we decided that it would be best to take you to the Van Helsing infirmary and not the Hospital."
"We guess you don't want medics, police, government, and science labs to know what you're doing in that alternate universe," Kylie sighed before slightly jumping when her phone went off in her pocket. She pulled it out before quickly answering it and making a quiet conversation.
"You know about the metaverse," Mona asked popping out of the bed next to Ren making Alexis giggle at the cat like creature before turning back to the others. Mona jumped over the Ren's bed sitting next to him, staring skeptically at the female like Yusuke was.
"We were what saved you from that vampire there, so I would say yes," Kylie answered while putting her phone back into her pocket. All of the group looked at the two members with shock and surprise, mouths open.
"You all look like you just saw your dog get shot," Alexis mumbled before jumping when Mona jumped into her lap. She looked down at the cat as it looked back up at her with narrowed eyes. Alexis' turned into a devilish smirk before rubbing behind his ears making him jump but start purring.
"Why haven't we heard about your guy's change of hearts," Anne asked sitting up more in her head, best she could without irritating her wounds too much. Alexis looked up from the purring cat and to the blonde with a warm smile.
"We move around a lot, and this is our first time in Japan, so that could explain it," Alexis smiled before looking over with Kylie when Bailar cleared his throat after ending his conversation with the person in his earpiece.
"My ladies, the horses are ready for you riding practice," he smiled with a small bow. The two girls sighed in unison before looking back at the group.
"We have informed the school that you have gotten hurt, with a favor from a doctor," Kylie smiled while standing up, back popping the process. Yusuke's followed her movements still curious about the two females.
"And you have two weeks off of school to recuperate and you will be staying here for the remainder," Alexis continued with a sigh also standing up from the bed after taking Mona off her lap. All of them looked shocked at her confession and went to protest but she held her hand up to stop them. "Your parents and guardians know where you are and after hearing they heard the Van Helsing name, they trusted us with your care for the two weeks."
"Well be back later to check on your guy's state," Kylie informed before her and her sister stepped a few paces away from the beds.
"See ya guy's," The twins smiled sweetly at the group, making all the boys of blush and noses started to drizzle blood. They stared at the girls walking away. After the females were out of earshot the butler cleared his through drawing the males attention.
"It would be wise to wipe your noses, young lads," he sighed before fixing his suit and following after the girls who were now out the infirmary. The males looked at each other with wide eyes as the girls scoffed and rolled their eyes.
