In a village hidden in the leaves, there was happiness, laughter, and joy everyday. The sun always shined and the children always played. The teens hung out way passed their bedtimes, and the children left their curtains open to gave upon the stars.
One day, their happiness was ripped from them as a great fox demon tried to destroy their precious village.
That was twenty-six years ago, when they sealed away the great fox demon. The fox demon swore to the villagers that he'd soon one day come back and destroy all who stood in his way. He would devour babies, rip and tear limbs off of the elders, and he'd make sure that everyone suffered. Everyone knew that this would never come true, for the seal they put on this demon was strong enough to hold him for an eternity, even the fox knew this. So to make those pay, he sent his fellow demons to the village, and the villages around it.
The villagers were soon living in a nightmare. Everyday a father, mother, son, daughter, cousin, uncle, aunt, grandfather, and grandmother would die. Slowly. All you could do was stand by and watch through the thin glass barriers. The only thing keeping you from death… the only thing keeping you from the nightmare.
They somehow lived on. They obeyed the time lines, for after six o'clock, if you were not present inside your house or another's, you were dead. All doors were shut from six in the afternoon to six in the morning. Friends no longer hung out at the markets late at night, nor did any sleepovers consist of laughter. Young children, constantly living in fear and depression, always looking over their shoulders and never knowing who would not be present the next day.
Soon, the villagers became tired of this. The Leader had said,
"We must fight back! No longer shall we live in the darkness of this fox's shadow! Rebel I say! Rebel!"
So they made a special group called the "Night Hunters". They began to study the six different types of demons that surveyed their village. The first was Lynx. He was half human, and half beast. His body was that of a muscular man, but his face and feet were furry, and that of a Lynx. He carried around a giant axe covered in blood, and poorly sharpened.
The second was April, who looked like a man wearing a bunny suit covered in blood and torn in a few parts. April is the perfect peeping tom. Usually after six everyone has their doors closed, as well as their windows and curtains. But if for some reason you leave your curtains open, or you decide to look outside, you'll find yourself looking into a couple of black shiny eyes, and a wide toothy smile. If you happen to see this, close your curtains quickly! For April can use this opportunity to control your mind and kill you from the inside out.
Third is the Goblic. They look like homeless innocent children, but they're far from innocent. They're not even human. Sometimes they call from outside a child's window saying,
"I'm so lonely. I have no one to play with. Will you play with me?" Then they would recite the name of the child they are calling to. For the first few years, this worked. Many adults pitied them, as well as children, but soon they were the ones being pitied. No one has ever seen a Goblic's true form, for no one has ever lived to tell about it.
Fourth is Euryale, sister of Stheno and Medusa. Her body is slug-like, her hands are of brass and her nails are sharp like a tigers. Her teeth are like daggers and her hair is made of snakes. Just like Medusa, if you look her in the eye, you turn to stone.
The fifth, and most humanlike, is Rage. His name is of what he really is; violent anger. It is said that he used to be a teacher at the village school. Obviously, being short tempered, he didn't like his job with all of the whining brats. Sometimes if a child wouldn't be quiet, he'd ask them to step outside into the hall where he'd drag them to the nearest bathroom, and inside a stall. While they were still alive, he'd sew their mouth shut for talking too much, and then he'd use his thumb nails to dig behind their eyeballs and scoop their eyes out because they wouldn't pay attention during class. This went on for an entire school year and none of the teachers could ever find out who was doing this. One boy had seen the blood all over his hands; it was his brother's blood. So he ran home to his father and mother and told them about their beloved son. The father became enraged and went to the man's house. He tied him to a chair and sewed his mouth shut and scooped out his own eyes. He also put a plastic bag over his head and covered it with duct tape.
The teacher still wonders the school with a plastic bag covering his face, and he kills Goblic's the exact same way he used to kill those children back in school.
The last demon is probably the smartest, and more human than the others, including Rage. Her name is Serenity. She's a nurse at the hospital with a broken heart. In the past, she was in love and was soon to be wedded. One day when she was making her rounds, she found her fiancé in bed with one of her patients. She quickly grabbed a needle on a tray and filled it with an overdose of antidotes. She injected it into his neck, and then stabbed the patient twenty times in the chest using the same needle.
Not liking where her life was going, she quit her job at the hospital, and became a prostitute. Life seemed great, she didn't need emotional love; all she wanted was the physical kind. One day she was walking down an alley way, and saw a man leaning against the wall. She asked the man if he wanted all of his wildest dreams to come true. He said yes and pushed her onto the ground. Satisfied with her work, she laid back and enjoyed the ride. Although it wasn't the kind she was expecting. He knocked her out, and the rest was history.
Later the next day she was found in a nearby trashcan. Her cheeks were cut from the end of each side of her mouth, to the tip of each ear. Her jaw was also broken, and there was a needle shoved into her vagina. Her breasts were also torn from her chest.
After six, every day, she roams the hospital searching for her fiancé. Hoping that he'd tell her it was all a dream. All the mirrors in the hospital were broken because she didn't want to look at her face. Her jaw hung low and her teeth were visible because of the way her cheeks were cut.
The villagers soon named them LAGERS for the first letter of each of their names. They found out that you could control these demons, but only if you can escape them, each one harder than the last.
There was once an Uchiha, Haruna, and an Uzumaki who managed to control the Lynx and April, but that is where the legend ends. The three families stayed close together, hoping they would soon be the ones to end their fellow villager's sufferings, but that hope soon turned into a figment of their imaginations. Soon the families stopped talking to one another, and the society broke up.
"That's the history of our village, any questions students?" One girl in the back raised her hand shyly. "Yes Mrs.Hyuuga?" She's just like her mother.
"W-Why is everything so graphic?"
"Because the principal insists that we teach you the truth. The truth is that the world isn't a lovely place, especially our little village."
"Was it always like this?" A boy in the back asked curiously.
"No, it wasn't. My mother told me that when she was a girl, she used to run outside in the fields of grass. She'd pick flowers and gaze at the stars and rainbows."
"What's a rainbow?" A blonde boy with spiky hair in the back asked.
"Well, um… my mother told me it's like a… here let me show you!" She then grabbed six different colors of chalk, and with white chalk drew two clouds. She used the colorful pieces to make curved lines connected the two clouds.
"Oooh… beautiful…" All the students awed in unison.
"How about tomorrow we learn about the history of what it used to be like here in Konoha? We can also make it an art day!"
"Yay!" They were happy for a moment, but their small bodies soon froze with fear, and they were brought back into reality by a bell ringing.
"Alright students, it's now four o' clock. Let's line up at the door and head straight for the buses. Before we leave, everyone recite the outside rules." All together they said all six rules.
"First rule! Don't talk to strangers! Second rule! Don't look at strangers! Third rule! Don't play with strangers! Fourth rule! Don't agree with strangers! Fifth rule! Hide from strangers! Sixth rule! Don't ever go anywhere with a stranger!"
"Especially where?" The teacher asked.
"Especially the hospital!" All the kids said in an army-like fashion.
"Alright kids, follow me." She then held onto one end of a rope, and told the kids behind her to hold onto the rope too. She led them outside to the front where the buses were lined up and ready to take them home.
"Stay safe! Be in bed by five thirty!"
"Ok!" They all said together.
"Umm… excuse me?" The shy girl from earlier asked her.
"Oh yes, what is it Nina?"
"E-Earlier, you said that an U-Uchiha, Uzumak-ki, and a Haruna were the first to uh… do that one thing… aren't y-you a Haruna?"
"Why yes, yes I am. If you're wondering, it was my great grandmother, and your great grandfather who were part of the society."
"W-What about an Uchiha?"
"I've never met an Uchiha, so I'm not sure."
"Oh… ok." Mrs.Haruna gave her a hug and nudged her towards the buses.
