Chapter 1

 

 

 

Shadows

 

Darkness enveloped the streets, cloaking the hidden creatures that lay in wait for easy prey. Flickering streetlights lined the roads; illuminating flashes that gave proof to glowing red eyes and black forms amongst the shadows, only to have them fade once again into the darkness until the light surfaced again.

 

Amongst these creatures of the night stood four figures, glaring defiantly into the demonic eyes that glowed through the darkness.

 

Young women, they were all clothed in a tight fitting leather body suit, black to help blend into the shadows along with their foes.

 

One stood tall, long blonde hair reaching to her waist, pulled into a high pony tail that swayed gently in the cold winds. Her eyes were a shocking sky blue, flashing with the stubbornness of a boar.

 

Another slouched, pale lavender eyes searching through the darkness, violet hair cut short while the girl played with her fingers, the picture of a shy child, a hidden resolution shined in her pale eyes ,a deceit to all those that thought this doe-eyed angel was weak.

 

Next to the blonde stood a girl with hair the color of a rose's petals, a soft pink that contrasted darkly with her jade green eyes. Amidst her jade eyes, amongst the innocence settled in there, stood an inner demon ready to strike at the slightest provocation, ready to attack or defend should the need arise.

 

The oldest of the four stood to the side, brown hair pulled into two buns that sat on top of her head, dusky brown eyes staring with a calm knowledge that could instantly turn into a full blown rage.

 

“S…Sakura…?” the quiet voice of the violet haired girl broke the eerie silence.

 

“Yeah?” the petal haired girl, Sakura, replied, turning to look at her friend with a smile.

 

“I…I can see s…some demons… …co…coming up…to the right…” the quiet girl stuttered, staring worriedly into the shadows.

 

“Don't worry Hinata!” the blonde said with a smirk, putting her hands onto her hips she struck a pose, “We'll get em'! But don't worry, I'll try and let forehead-girl get some credit.” The blonde's voice took on a mocking tone as she glanced at her flower-haired friend.

 

“Shut it Ino-pig!” Sakura said with a glare, a mocking smile coming onto her face as the blonde gave a glare, opening her mouth to retort something back.

 

“Shut it you two,” the brunette growled out, glaring at her friends. “They're coming! Get ready!”

 

The two girls glared at their companion.

“Dammit, Tenten, you know just how to be a spoil sport!” Ino, the blonde, said with a huff.

 

“That's nice to know.” Tenten said with a grin, before once again turning back to the shadows. “Alright Hinata. They almost here?”

 

The said girl gave a nod in affirmation, “They'll be here in approximately 4.5 seconds…also…th…there are two…two of them.”

 

Sakura gave a whistle, “Whoa! These buggers are kinda fast aren't they!”

 

“But not fast enough,” Tenten said with a smirk, eyeing the creatures as they came into view before throwing two kunai lazily at the approaching targets.

 

Black blood splattered into the air, the kunai slamming directly into the creature's skulls, cutting through flesh and bone alike…crushing the skull on impact as they cut into the brain.

 

Sakura gave a glare towards Tenten, eyeing the two corpses distastefully and sighed, poking them with her boot, “C'mon Tenny…did you really have to take all the fun?”

 

Tenten gave the petal haired girl a glare, “Yes I do, and please…” a small growl came into her voice as she spat out the hated word, “don't call me Tenny.”

 

Ino gave a grin and drawled out, “Yeah fore-head girl, you know that that word's taboo when Tenten is around!”

 

Sakura grinned, “I know…but…” she gave a mockingly melancholy sigh, “Tenten is just so fun to anger…”

 

“You're a sadist aren't you?” the brunette asked, glancing at her pink haired friend.

 

“You know it!” Sakura said with a smirk, while Hinata tried her best to ignore her friend's squabbling, and sighed.

 

“U…um….shou…shouldn't we be getting to…Teacher…she isn't…isn't very pati…patient you…you know….” The quiet girl mumbled, just loud enough to be heard by her friends.

 

“Ugh…whatever…” Sakura sighed, putting her hand to her forehead in a mocking manner before turning around to walk with her comrades into the shadows.

 

----------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------

 

“Was that them?” a soft sensuous whisper filled the air, dark eyes glaring into the night at the retreating figures of the four females.

 

“Yes.” The simple reply was answered in a smooth voice, pale eyes glowing in the dark, contrasting with the dark light of the shadows.

 

“Hn….This is way to easy…” onyx eyes faded into crimson as the deep and rich voice smirked into the night, the eyes slowly fading into the shadows, leaving not even a whisper in their wake.

 

----------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------

 

“Sakura…Hinata…Ino…Tenten…” a soft growl filled the air, as the four in question flinched. “Why are you late…..again?”

“Ah….about that…” Sakura fumbled around for an idea, waving her hands in the air.

 

“Just tell me…now.” Tsunade, the mentor of the four, glared angrily at her four students, and was currently clutching a sake bottle very tightly in her fist, the said sake bottle about to break.

 

“It's not our fault the police decided that we were evil killers! I mean, it's not like having blood on you're clothes in necessarily a bad thing!” Ino shouted, trying to defend the group.

 

“Why did you have blood on you? I told you to have this mission clean!” the annoyed woman glared once again at her students only to sigh in defeat, “…Those damn cops…they don't realize we're doing them a favor do they?”

 

A soft smile came onto Hinata's face, “It…it's not their fault Teacher…I mean…it's not like they know…” she played with her index fingers in a way to describe it better, looking towards her friends for help.

 

Tenten gave a nod, coming to Hinata's rescue, “That's right, they don't know that any second of the day they could be killed if not for us….it's not good for the public to know that demons and vampires actually do exist” Tenten gave a sigh, “…that one of the Were could come by at any moment to rip your throat out. After all…it's our job to make sure that those monsters don't do that…right?”

 

Tsunade gave a smile, “Right.”
