Hey Everyone, I know I have unfinished stories and all, but I need to take a break from those. I'm still writing the Naruto and Hinata Genin one as well as the Sasuke and Sakura one, just need something…different. Well I hope you enjoy this little experiment!

Full Summary: I know you'll probably be driven away with my 'cliché' love story with the supernatural. But let me tell you something, this isn't as cliché as you thought. I'm not in love with a vampire. What if I told I was in love with a demon? Are you going to stay to listen?

I: Encounter
It was normal day for me, just like any other boring day of my sad little life. I sat in my lovely little silver Mazda 3. Pretty old, I know, but it was my mother's car before that sick bastard murdered her. Ever since that day, I promised myself I would never let anyone else get hurt. So here I am, at the fresh, age of 19. I just got off of work again. My job? Simple, kill the cursed demons that lurk this world, causing harm to us. Oh and did I mention I was apart of that secret society that gives of the impression that we're all just going to college? I didn't think so, but now you all know. I hope you keep that information so I don't have to repeat myself and waste energy.
So, as I was saying, I am seating here in this aging car getting back from yet another quick and easy job. What was it you ask? Oh the usual. Go and kill this guy before 12 am when he recovers from Tenten's attack yesterday. I did it and here I am at 10 o' clock, watching the full moon. I turned up the stereo so I rid myself of these cursed memories.
You
self-destructive little girl Now call
your boyfriend and apologize And all this time
Pick yourself up, don't blame the
world
So you screwed up, but you're gonna be OK
You pushed him pretty far away last
night
He really loves you, you just don't always love
yourself
All this time
You've
had it in you
you just sometimes need a push
I glared daggers at the stereo, but of course, I had no idea that a 5 foot 7 inch, raven haired man would get hit by my lovely, now dirtied Mazda.
"Shit!"
I stepped down on the breaks, after I hit the man. Truthfully, I would've blamed the guy for not paying attention, but I couldn't do that seeing as I drove straight into the sidewalk. Stupid me.
I panicked and jumped out of my car. "Holy crap!" I was about to pick him up, but usually, when you hit someone at 60 mph, break on your car suddenly, they're not supposed to move.
"Hn…crazy baka." My ear and eye twitched and I pulled out my gun, causing people to scream and run. I didn't care though. This guy was no human. "Get up demon." I demanded as I shoved the pistol into his head. He turned his head towards me and his eyes flashed red. 'Goddamn it! He's got the Sharingan!' I cursed inwardly, but as a professional, I couldn't let that happen.
I shoved it deeper when he didn't move as I turned my head so my pink locks covered my viridian eyes. "Get up, or I'll shoot you in your bloody head." I tried to stay as calm as possible, but for some reason I couldn't.
He rose and glared at me, his crimson eyes swirling back to its original form. "You crazy, foolish, naive girl." I swiftly took out a dagger and aimed for his neck. He grabbed my hand and twisted it. I cried out in pain and kneed him in the stomach. "I hate vermin like you!" I charged at him, full throttle and sent various punches and kicks.
After several minutes, I landed a kick to his head, causing it to crack as his body was flung to the left. I kept my gun ready as I tied him up with special rope that depletes demon of their abilities as well as powers. It's known as the Akuma Shouheki, it binds the powers of a demon so that it is useless until it's removed.
He still had the guts to glare at me again but this time, he really meant he was going to kill me soon. It better not be in sleep that's all I can say, I love to put up a good fight.
I pulled him by the collar and threw him in the car. Oh and, did I ever mention the members of this 'college' are chosen? Not everyone is selected survives the tests though and no, no one dies. After we 'pass' we are given the choice to drink the blood of demons, thus giving us their power. At first, I was disgusted but I wanted to avenge my mother, so I took the blood of our leader, Tsunade. Also, our lifespan is extended as well, but it's not affected by the blood of the demon. So if that cursed one dies, I won't. It's that simple, yet so complex.
Tsunade is a demon, but she chose to help out the humans by ridding the world of the evil ones who dare cause harm to the life of this green planet. With her blood, I received the gifts of strength and healing.
But back to the point, I threw the raven head into the car and jumped into the driver's seat. "Listen you vermin, I hate you, you hate me, got it? I'm taking you back to headquarters to be interrogated and then, when we're done, I'll hope and pray I'll have the pleasure of killing you."
I heard of scoff from behind me, but I ignored it. I didn't want to waste time on him. I drove off and went to the front gates. Izumo and Kotetsu stopped my car. These two dudes were as funny as hell, I'll give you that. Powers? Strength and they are great spies I must say, despite their loudness at moments.
Izumo held a gun in his hand. Specifically the Chishio Suzumebachi. It was modified several times so now there are several forms of it. Chishio Hiru, it sucks the blood out of you like a leech and it tears at your flesh. Horrifying sight to see, I know, its power is awesome, so that's a plus. Anyhow, Kotetsu was at my window, knocking at it gently.
"Hey Haruno, what's with the package in the back huh? Got an extra kill to bring in?" I nodded and pointed at the mute lump. He nodded and Izumo backed off and I drove off to the garage.
I entered the password that is mine only. Its DNA activated, and it's by blood and hair locks combined. I grabbed a small lock of hair, cut it and then I bit my lip so blood spilled. I threw it perfectly at the system and it greeted me. Oh how I adore technology of 2010 and those accuracy lessons Tenten gave me.
Anyways, I parked by the office section. I cocked my gun tight, ready to shoot this sad life form any second. "Get out…" My voice was harsh but he didn't wince. It's not I expected him too. Well, at least he obeyed silently, still glaring at. Gosh! Can't he do anything else?! I frowned at him and grabbed his hand.
"Come on…you lazy bastard…" I dragged him through the office, receiving stares from people. I was a little less tense and far from receiving a heart attack, but Ino didn't help when she jumped down from the ceiling. "Hey Forehead, what's up with Demon Hottie huh?"
I rolled my eyes at the name. "I'm taking him to Tsunade-sama." She pulled her dagger pouch out and grabbed a very long one that was usually used for picking locks and such. Now I shall introduce this little seductress.
Yamanaka Ino, demon hunter since three years ago. She specializes in seducing the enemy while undercover. She is a half-demon I've known since we were young. Her father was the pure-blood; he wanted nothing more than the safety of humans and good demons. Her mother was a flower shop owner and that's where Ino goes for her undercover work as a civilian. She stays here at the dorm though. Abilities include transferring her soul into a body. It could be any body but the downfall of that is that if her original body or the one she's in is damaged, it could be game over.
So now that you know my best friend, let's get back to business. She walked around the demon, sifting through his hair with the knife. She whispered into his ear, oh and another power I've picked up, great hearing and eye sight. "Harm anyone and I'll drive this through your skull."
I smirked, but it faded when he showed no expression. We sighed heavily with disappointment and then escorted our 'guest' to the Hokage. The Hokage, as I explained, is Tsunade-sama. She's our leader and the granddaughter of our first demon leader.
We knocked on the door only to be greeted by a tense Shizune. I've always thought of her as a sister. She's human, but given the blood of a dying demon healer.
I peered over her shoulder and ducked to dodge a flying lamp that lodged itself into the wall behind us. "Oh…Ehehe Sakura-san come it."
I exhaled and waltz in with the blonde and ebony haired people by my side. "Tsunade-sama I---"
She was already giving me the 'why-are-you-bringing-him-in-and-you-better-have-a-good-reason' look. I looked at her as if she were crazy. Finally, when I was about to declare the guy next to me was officially mute, he spoke.
'Tsunade-sama, I am here about the accused Uchiha Itachi. I want to join this society so I may hunt him down as well as the Akatsuki and Orochimaru."
I narrowed my eyes and held on to my breath. It was Orochimaru who killed my mom. And he was with the Akatsuki at the time. But I still couldn't believe this!
Tsunade nodded curtly and stared at me. "Sakura…I will ask you calmly. Why the hell did you attack our new recruit?"
My eyes shifted to the cocky bitch next to me and faced my sensei again. "It's not my fault! He was in my way when I was driving from my last job! Oh and I killed him. His head is in my trunk."
I got off topic. Okay future recruits, advice for living and the future? DO NOT GO OFF TOPIC WHEN YOU'RE TALKING TO TSUNADE. She get's pissed easily and it's not a healthy thing to do when she is. I winced when she sent paper flying at me. I got cut, but I thankfully it didn't hit vital arteries or veins.
"Haruno I want an explanation."
I breathed calmly and scratched my neck explaining the story. She nodded every now and again, but madness was still expressed on her face.
"So, you almost ran over him and then you two go into a fight?" She rolled her eyes and sent Ino away. "Go take him to get registered and then take him to room 1304." I nodded and started to leave.
"Oh and, heal him."
I made a whining noise as I walked down to the Hospital Wing. I did not feel like healing the guy who made me run over him and then want to beat him up. But what bugged me most was the fact that he didn't really defend himself. I was trained to know and estimate how much power a demon could have and boy, he had enough to fill ten fledglings.
"What's your name?"
I stopped suddenly and stared at him in sheer disbelief. "You…you're talking."
He looked at me as if I was crazy, but hey, what can I say? If you're going to be in a car with a mute, go to your boss's office, he speaks but not to you, and then when you're taking him to get his sorry butt healed, he speaks, you'd be stuttering too.
"Sorry, sorry." I said as I shook my head. "Haruno Sakura, the one who dragged your little butt to headquarters and got yelled at for hitting you with my car. Seriously, I don't know what kind of demon with power that can fill 10 vessels, let's himself get hit by a car."
He smirked and man…I felt like knocking him into the next century because of that. "Well, Haruno Sakura. I'm Uchiha Sasuke."
He walked in front of me and I just glared daggers of all shapes and sizes into his back. To cool off, I just grabbed my new ITouch. Oh what a lovely device it is indeed. I scrolled over songs slowly to irritate him and my sloth-likeness. I think I'll listen to Birthday Sex by Jeremiah.
I was not the type to be turned on easily, mind you. I have self-control and it'll take much more than a song.
Anyways, he was now giving me dirty looks. "Oh shut the hell up with your glares Uchiha." I said as I walked in front of him to get him healed. Oh how I hate him so right now.
After about ten minutes of muteness, another of stubbornness and a whopping thirty minutes of healing, I was just about finished with him. "You know, Uchiha, you're absolutely lucky I'm not other girls. I must say you have an f-i-n-e body, but hun, you're just not my type."
I saw a lift of his mouth on one side and soon, it became one of those smirks I hate. I punched him on the arm with my monstrous strength. "I'm not healing that. Cone on…time to register you."
We silently marched over to the registering station. Not much of a surprise when you're with Uchiha. I entered the room with our security system. I actually thank technology of this era. With regular guards and keys and locks, you won't get far. One C4 alone couldn't break in either. You'd have to use about eight and have eight versions of me to get through.
Anyways, we walked in, and I sat down at a desk. "Hello Sakura-chan." I smiled at that old, yet comforting voice. "Hi Sarutobi-san." Sarutobi was our 3rd Hokage, a.k.a. the Sandaime. The Fourth's location was lost years ago. When the Great War occurred, we secured the Sandaime's mind into the original system with 'Microsoft Sam' I actually prefer the warm welcoming voice instead.
"Okay Uchiha, name and then walk through that device over there and I want you to pour some of your blood into this vile. If you would like your blood to be shared, thus giving out your abilities, check yes."
He did as he was told and thankfully, he was still as quiet as ever. I was just about to sleep until that blonde little twerp of a friend barged in.
"Sakura-chan! Sasuke-teme!"
I jumped up and knocked over my MP3 and I yelled at Naruto for doing such a thing. "Naruto!!! Wait…." I stopped to see Sasuke and hold on…since when did I call him by a first name basis? Well I stopped to see Uchiha and Naruto have a glare-off. Pointless if you ask me.
"Do you know each other?" Naruto nodded furiously and never removed his gaze from the raven haired demon. "We're friends from back then."
Oh and you're probably confused. Okay, let me explain this quickly. Naruto Uzumaki, the loudest, knuckle-headed, ramen-loving, blonde idiot of this 'college' that you will ever meet. He is fused with a demon and his father was the Yondaime. He was a half demon as well. His father, being the pure-blood, and his mother was a human. They died on the day he was born. The same day my dad died too. It was because of the Kyuubi and that's how he and the Yondaime were killed. His mind was not recovered and he sacrificed himself for the village of Konoha. Every regular person had those memories locked away except for a few of us. Me on the other hand, I was being trained by my mom and she didn't want the memory of the demon war being erased and I didn't want to keep thinking Dad would come back when he didn't
SO, here we are, glaring and yelling at each other. I stopped to glare at the Uchiha who ignored me. I swear to you, if I have to be on a mission with him later, let alone train him, I will murder him!

Well, that's it for Cursed Love. Questions and Comments as well as constructive criticism is welcome. OH and the meanings of certain words:
Chishio Suzumebachi: Blood Hornet- Stings the target with piercing bullets, letting blood seep through the skin.
Chishio Hiru: Blood Leech- Once the bullet leaves the gun, it becomes dust, but it continues to cause damage to target until destroyed. First the blood is removed, some particles may enter and tear at vital organs and others may rip the flesh apart. Only skilled members of the group may wield them. Only a few unwise members have attempted to use such a weapon.
Well that's it for I. Encounter!
R&R always! I will return the favor!
