A/N: Okay guys, I know that I've been neglecting you guys with lack of updates. So until I can get back on the writing bug, here's a little short story. It's only going to be a few chapters long and I cant guarentee a happy ending to this one. Actually, it's pretty dark and will have a lot of Bible lore involved and demonic happening and the crushing of innocence. So if that's all right with you guys, enjoy!

"You were crying when I last saw you. Can you tell me why?" asked the snake.
Eve looked up at the serpent and replied, "Yes. Because God says I cant see you anymore."

"Hey! Did you hear? We're getting a new teacher today!"
"Really? That was quicker than the last one."
"Yeah, and get this. It's rumored that she's a real 'saint'. Talk about a old maid."
The boys laughed. A blonde one turned towards an older boy sitting in the corner near the back. "Hey Uchiha!" he called. "Got a plan ready to scare this one away?"
The boy didn't reply, yet his lips curved into a sinister smirk. That was all the answer they needed.

"W-wow. It's bigger than I e-expected," whispered the nun as she got out of the car.
Her escort laughed. "Is it? Never really gave the size much thought. Come this way, Sister."
Following, Hinata gaped at the school she was to start work at.
The campus had two sets of buildings, each for a specific class which the boys were set into. Hinata was led up the stairs into a secluded office. Her escort spoke to the secretary, telling her who she was and why she was here. While he did that, Hinata felt drawn to the paintings that hung on the walls.
Each depicted a scene from the Bible stories. One had David defeating the giant while another showed the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. But the one that really drew her eyes was the one of Adam and Eve, both tasting the apple while the snake looked on gleefully from his perch on the tree. Hinata had always hated the story, ever since she first heard it when she was a little girl. It was what led her to become a nun. Unfortunately, it was also the fact that she was still alive, having lived at the convent when the murders occurred.
"Don't," she scolded herself lightly. "You're here to do a job. Thinking about the past wont help you teach your students. Focus on right now."
"Sister Hinata," her escort called.
"Y-yes. C-coming." Gathering the too long skirt of her habit so that she wouldn't fall, Hinata scurried towards him.
"Here." He handed her a file and a sheet a paper stapled to the front. "I'm afraid that the principal's in a little bit of bind right now involving one of his students so he wont be able to show you the campus but there's a map and a schedule in there that'll help you for now."
"A-all right."
"Well, I have to return now but I'll check on you later, kay?"
"O-okay."
He patted her on the head. "Good luck Hinata."
"Th-thank you, Asuma-san."
Hinata watched him go and then looked inside the file. It had a list of her students, info about the school and the rules, what homeroom she had and what building she would be staying in within the convent. There also was a map and her escort had kindly circled in red where her class would be, in the red building, Class 6F. Pulling out this map, Hinata made her way towards this building, leading her to the outside courtyard.
It was close to the first bell, so most of the boys were around the chapel, where mass would be held before heading into class. Hinata quickly hurried along, wanting to find the correct building before heading into the chapel as well. She passed under heavy trees, white flowers blooming on its branches. Hinata stopped to look at them, marveling at the pretty white color. It was so white, there was no shade of gray, but lavender instead.
"Pretty…" she whispered.
The branches rustled and as Hinata turned to look a blur of black came hurling towards her. "Ah!" she screamed and nearly fell back, throwing the file into the air. Someone grabbed her and pulled her hard, the friction hurting her shoulder. "Etai," she whimpered.
"Sorry, but it was your fault for not looking around," a dark voice scolded her and Hinata looked up.
At first she noticed was the black eyes and her heart still. Demons are red, while the devil's are pitch black. A lesson she learned from the convent in Suna flashed through her mind.
But then Hinata realized that unlike the fabled black eyes, she could see the outline of his pupils. As she took a step backwards, she saw that he was a student, wearing the dark blue uniform. And, as she got a better look at him, she saw that he was a very handsome dark haired youth.
"N-no! It's al-alright. Ex-excuse me." Quickly turning around so he wouldn't see her suddenly burning face, Hinata began to pick up the papers she dropped.
Suddenly, the bell rang, a light ringing that sounded throughout the campus. Following was a symphony of bells that came from the chapel's towel, signifying the start of mass.
"Oh no!" Hinata jumped up and faced the chapel. "It's started!" She turned to run but someone turned her around. She stared again in the face of the boy, who now looked at her in interest.
"You're a new one, aren't you Sister?" he asked.
"Y-yes, I am," Hinata replied. "I'm t-the new t-teacher for class 6F."
"Oh really?" He smirked sinisterly. "Well, I must say you're cuter than the last one."
"Eh?" Before Hinata could question her, his mouth slanted over hers. She stilled, her hearting hammering. She pushed him away and covered her mouth, face a bright red. I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I w-w-w-w-waaaasssss kkkkisssseeedddd bbbbyyyyy aaaaaaa……byyyyyyy aaaa…. She couldn't even finish the thought.
"Excuse me? Mass has started," a Sister called to them, startling Hinata.
"I-I'm sorry. I'll-I'll go now!" Turning she ran towards the opening of the church, not turning back once to look at him.
Left behind, Itachi Uchiha smiled. She's become more grown up now that she was older, but still has the same look as before.
The look of delicious prey.
Grinning maliciously, his tongue lapped up the remains of their kiss. What had started off as a game, something to relieve him of his boredom, has become so much more.
"I'll look forward to class, Sister Hyuuga."
