Prologue: In the Beginning

Haruno Sakura is your average teenager, not! She is something else, something different. Sakura is a hanyou, of vampire and lycan blood. This gives her the advantages of both species, but none of their weaknesses. She is immune to sunlight, does not need blood to survive, can resist a full moon, and can successfully blend in with both species without giving herself away.

Sakura was the result of a secret marriage between the Lycan Crown Prince and a Vampire Elite. The two thousand year feud had made them enemies, but they had fallen in love. Fleeing when their secret got out, they left for the country where the figured they'd be safe, at least for a while.

Both vampires and lycans alike sought after the couple to kill them before a child could be born. It had been prophesied that if ever such a child was born, they would have immense power and could potentially cause the downfall of both races.

At the tender age of five, Sakura came home from spending the night at a classmate's house to find her parents' mangled bodies in the living room. Remembering what her parents had told her to do if his ever happened, Sakura got busy.

Sakura got out her book bag and stuffed it with the most important family treasures. A family photo album, Death Through The Ages: A Vampire's Guide To History, A Century of Servitude: The Blood Feud, parents' wedding bands, mom's jewelry, silver stakes, holy water, extra strength garlic extract (if added to holy water it is deadly), all the emergency cash, dad's handgun with a box of silver bullets filled with silver nitrate, three silver daggers, her parents wedding certificate, and her birth records. Grabbing a bottle of water and a box of snack bars on her way out the door, Sakura fled.

With the death of her parents, Sakura knew that vampires and lycans alike would be searching for them and her, when they realized that she existed.

The two most valuable items were on her person. An ancient skeleton key, the Death Key, opened up the lycan royal treasury vault. Without it the funds, ancient text documents, and all of their blueprints for their building, etc… were inaccessible. Not even by force could the treasury be accessed.

The other item was an amulet belonging to her mother's clan. As the last surviving member, her mother alone held the power of the amulet. It was made from sterling silver, rubies, and onyx. It was called the Gateway Amulet, and for good reason. Only through it could the most important, secretive, and specialized areas be accessed. The treasury vault, Ancient Texts Library, advanced research labs, weapons armory, and all of the primary underground escape routes. So without it the vampires would be at a loss.

Sakura made a beeline for Tokyo. She figured in a city that big anyone could disappear. Shortly after arriving, however, she was attacked by a group of vampires looking for a snack. Using her water gun (filled with holy water), Sakura managed to kill one of them, and mortally wound two others before she tripped and twisted her ankle. As the leader was closing in for the kill, a group of vampire hunters arrived and he was quickly dispatched.

Their leader, recognized Sakura immediately. Her pink hair was distinctive to the women of the Sarutobi clan. Grabbing her, she was brought back to headquarters. Only the organization's leader, Tsunade, was told the true story of her origins.

From that point on Sakura was raised as an assassin for vampires, lycans, and the occasional corrupt human.

Being part lycan allowed her to keep up with their deadly claws.

Being part vampire, allowed her to enter blood raves without being detected. She was one of a kind and for 17 years and her identity had thus far remained a secret.

Sigh, until now…

Wahoo!!! Oi, this is my first fic that deals with vampire and lycans. Please enjoy, RxR!
