Chapter 1: The Hunter

The crashing of waves against the docks, the gentle sway of the tied up ships, and the far off sound of a fog horn was the only sounds the harbor heard every night. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary. But tonight would be different, tonight blood was going to be spilled in the silvery glaze of the full moon.

The lighthouse's guiding light flashed over the maze of wooden docks. Once it was gone, the area was dark again. It started out faintly, but hasty footsteps could be heard beating against the old rotting planks. The flashing light of the lighthouse passed again, only now outlining the bodies of five men making a desperate escape. What you may be wondering are these men running for their lives?

These five men are not human, yes you heard right, not human. They're vampires actually. Those cunning, garlic hating, no reflection, hates sunlight, drinks blood, transforming into bat, and preys on the innocent, as in those horror movie monsters? Yup, those vampires! But not all the stuff in the movies is true. Hell, most of it isn't even real. But what is true is that these vampires have been drinking blood, the blood of an innocent five year old girl-child to be exact tonight.

Most times these five got away with such an act, but tonight fate doesn't favor them.

Your probably wondering why these creatures of the night are running like little rabbits being chased by a giant cat. Well, that's exactly what's happening,.

One may pray on others, but what happens when the predator becomes the pray?

She has been hunting these lowlifes all night, and the huntress is quite bored. Her pray are just weak, average , deceitful vampires, she didn't know why they had hired her to taken on this mediocre job. An idiot with the right tools could pull this pathetic hit-job off. But the pay met her standards and she had been even more bored just sitting around in her apartment.

She watched the little parasites scurry across that docks, watching them stumble and confusedly try to find their way through the maze. It made her snort at their pathetic attempts to escape. It is truly sad, there is no amusement in seeing these creatures function. Once she grows tired of watching them tripping over themselves, and decides to just kill them. But first a little fun… She grins wickedly before disappearing into the shadows.

These poor creatures don't know what hit them…

She found them trying to haywire a motorboat, and shook her head at their pitiful attempt. 'Ah, the will to survive, what an idiotic mannerism. It's all well and good, but with some creatures it just looks pathetic'

The vampiresare startled out of their work when they hear the ominous clicking of healed boots. And with the footsteps, came a powerful charka signal that promised something lethal. They all breakout in a cold sweat, intently watching and waiting for whatever is causing them dread to appear. Their heartbeats increased as the torturing slow footsteps drew closer. And then suddenly! They…. They….

Stopped?

The anxious creature's let out sighs of release, and glanced at one another shakily. They all let out nervous, relieved chuckles, mentally berating themselves for imagining such things! It was probably bad blood they had drunken from that kid. But a dark, mirthless chuckle joins theirs, but it wasn't coming from any of them…

It was coming from behind them.

They all stiffened, and shot around to face behind them. A petite figure stood behind them, garbed in a pure black cape. The bottom of the cloak only revealed two inch healed, black leather boots. The power aura that this small cloaked stranger was giving off was so powerful, and menacing that it was almost suffocating. The figure stopped chuckling, and they could fell a calculating gaze pass over them for a moment.

"Why do you stop your laughter? You must have something to find amusement in? Come on let me in on it, I wont tell!" the figure chirped out childishly. The men recognized the voice to be feminine, but that really didn't give them any clue as to who this female was. When she heard no response, they could almost tell she was pouting under her hooded cloak.

"What, not going to tell me? Oh, no fair! But what can be done?" They felt her gaze again. "What's with all the gloomy faces? You all looked like you were about to start a party, and I wanted to join in! Besides," she spun around once," it's such a beautiful night! You should cheer up! Look around you!

The moon is full, the stars are bright, and the ocean's natural music is soothing. It's a night when lover's take moonlit strolls and express their love for one another, a night where a person can sleep soundlessly without a care in the world, a might that can inspire music and poetry. A night,.." Her voice stopped being that of a bubbly little girl, and took on a voice dripping with amusement, disdain, smugness, and anger all mixed into one. And with this voice she growled out , " best set for killing, don't you agree? Since you've been doing it a lot lately you demon scum!" She gave another insane chuckle, "And tonight, I shall end your pathetic existence on this earth!"

With the revelation of her true intentions, the five now pissed off vampires bared their fangs aggressively at the petite woman, but she didn't seem faze at the least. "Who are you?" one angry weakly vampire shouted. All of them backed away from the stranger, not wanting to get to close to this would- be -killer.

"I have many names, but you may call me Dark Abyss. I will be your assassin tonight, I hope you find my work satisfactory!" the young woman chirped out. She added with her voice filled with ice, "I tend to be very through with my work." Four of the five vampires are immediately backed off; they were faced with the most feared vampire hunter of all time. No way were they about to stick around.

But one foolish vampire thought he had the guts to actual hurt her, because he went charging at her. She "hfmed" as she pulled out a kunai from underneath her cloak. She merely sidestepped and let his run by her. When he was about a foot behind her, she merely flung her kunai loosely at him. It hit its target, his heart. He burst into a pile of dust, only to be carried away by the incoming sea breeze.

The four vampires left had stood stock-still while their friend had been killed, but once their murderer turned back to them, they took off for the now running speedboat. The huntress tisked, and waved a delicate finger, as if scolding them. She pulled out two more kunai and with a flick of her wrist two more were dead.

The last two hadn't even looked back to see how their comrades had faired, they had made a speedy retreat on the stolen speedboat. The bored assassin sighed tiredly, before pursuing them. They had already made it to the center of the harbor, the distance between the dock and the boat was about 100 ft. But a small detail like this wasn't going to stop her. The sooner she got this job done, the sooner she could actual find something fun to do.

With a graceful leap she landed gently on the sternum of the fleeing speedboat. But vampire's cried out in surprise. The one driving the speed boat even swerved a little at this little stunt. They could only gape at the cloaked woman in awe and fear.

"You know staring is rude." She drawled lazily. That broke them out of their trances, and now could only cower in fear of the impeding doom. Their death warrants had been sealed the moment the Black Rose, but she was more widely know as Dark Abyss, had accepted the money for their murders.

"And it's also rude to running away without being excused. You'll just have to be punished!" She gleefully exclaimed, and pulled out more kunai. But these kunai were not like the last, they had blood red pouches tied to their knobbed ends. She carelessly threw them around in the speedboat, deliberately missing her targets. The sacks tore and let out a powder. Out of curiosity, one vampire knelt down and studied the power. He took some and rubbed it against his fingers. He lifted the powder to his nose, and tried to identify its smell. He had forgotten about his assigned hit-woman was watching this whole investigation, while his last remaining friend was frozen in pure shock.

The vampire came to a quick conclusion of what the powder was, and turned abruptly back to the assassin. She chuckled softly, "Yes, it's explosion powder. And for that both your deaths get to be quick. Well…" She pulls out a kunai with an already activated explosion tag." …it's been fun but we won't be able to do it again." The two vampires now openly gaped at the lit kunai, the flames of the explosion tag dancing in their wide eyes.

A delicate hand waved good bye energetically, "Bye now! Have a good time rotting in Hell!" and with that she again gracefully leaped from the boat's sternum to a near by bridge's wooden post. The kunai had dropped from her grasp, and time seemed to slow down. She called out "Sakura Fubuki no Jutsu!" This exclaimation was like the final ignature on their death contracts with Hell. The death toll could faitly be herad in the backround.

The two vampires could only watch as the kunai fell and ignite the powder. Their screams of terror were covered up with the sounds of the explosion. Fiery pieces snapped and flew from the burning vessel, the vampires dead.

This vampire hunter sat on the bridges edge, gleeful laughing at the sight. She was fascinated by the pretty colors. Her legs kicked back and forth, and she clasped her hands together in happiness. There was only one thought going through this insane woman's head…

Vampires, explosion powder, and fire go BOOM!

She laughed again insanely, clapping her hands together. Once her laughing fir had passed, she took out a long stemmed black rose and threw it onto the remaining floating craft. She blew an exaggerated kiss at the fiery sight before she strolled casually down the bridge, and into the city's streets.

"Hm, I wonder if Ino is up for going to get dango, when ever I slay something I have this craving to eat something sweet. But if she calls me forehead again, she's so not getting any!"

Little does our hunter know that these actions that's she just committed will cause a chain of events that are filled with shadow and reek of blood.

Leading her to her true destiny.
