A teenage boy dashed through the darkened streets of the city of Konoha chasing his enemy. Dressed in a black sleeveless v-neck shirt, black cargo pants and katana holster around his waist he pulled out his weapon. His eyes glow an angry red.
The enemy- a demon with pitch black skin and piercing red eyes beetle eyes- turned its head and spurted a plume of purple poison gas at its pursuer. The boy covered his mouth and prepared for impact when a gust of wind blew the gas away.
The boy uncovered his mouth and glared at his partner. "I've got it covered Itachi!"
Itachi jumped into the road next to his little brother. "I'm not interfering. Any Niokoni can easily finish off this lower class demon. I'm surprised it's taking you so long Sasuke." Itachi was Sasuke's older brother by the age of twenty-two. He was also his partner and older than him by six years. His outfit consisted the same as Sasuke's, only with a black cloak added. His hair hung waist-length in a loose ponytail while the other's was short and spiked in the back. Itachi's eyes also glow red.
Sasukescowled and jumped into the air abovethe demon. Said demon turned and gave an angry hiss right before Sasuke descended and stabbed the beast through the heart, making it burst into a black dust. Both Niokoni stopped running. Sasuke frowned and deeply and stalked over to a bench, flopping onto it. Itachi came over as well, sitting gracefully onto it.
"I like playing with them." Sasuke grumbled. "I have nothing better to do all night."
"You could sleep." Itachi pointed out. "After all you do have school tomorrow."
Sasuke scoffed. He was a sophomore in high school. "We both know we don't need to sleep, Itachi."
"But it's better if you do. You don't need humans becoming aware of your lack of sleep because of the black and purple bruises that will appear around your eyes. It's quite unbecoming you know." Itachistood and with a wave of his hand sent gusts of wind barreling through the city searching for access demons.
Sasuke sighed and stood as well. "Doesn't matter. You're such a show off aniki. Ever since Deidara-nii came you've had the power to control over wind. It's really starting to get annoying!" Itachi placed a finger on Sasuke's lips to tell him to shush.
"Not too loud. You'll wake the neighbors."
Sasuke smacked his hand away. "Whatever. Anything?"
"None. I think we're done for the night." Itachi began walking away down the road. Sasuke hurried after him.
"You should've let me play more. Now I'll be bored all evening" He complained.
"Good. Maybe you'll get some rest." He checked his watch. "Nearly one. Let's head home." Sasuke nodded and together they headed back to their cabin on the edge of town.

The shrill beeping of his alarm clock jolted Sasuke up in his bed. He yelled as the bright light from the uncovered window burned his eyes. "Damn it!! Who opened up my blinds?!"
"I did!" Itachi yelled. "Get ready for school otouto!" Sasuke grumbled angrily as he threw off his covers and got dressed before stomping out of the room.
"Sasuke breakfast is ready." Itachi said as he sipped his tea and read the paper.
"I'm not eating." Sasuke snapped at him.
"Oh come on Sasuke-kun, un." A voice called from the kitchen. "I worked hard since Ita-kun said you didn't have a good night hunting last night." Sasuke sighed and trotted into the kitchen where Deidara stood fixing a plate of hash browns and eggs. He was dressed in a plain white t-shirt with grey sweatpants with his hair already pulled into a ponytail. His bangs covered one of his eyes. Itachi and Deidara got together while still in high school and have since lived together with Sasuke.
"Good morning Sasuke-chan!" Deidara chirped and hugged him before handing him his breakfast.
"Morning." Sasuke mumbled before sitting down at the table, glaring at his brother, who had set down the paper to eat.
Itachi ignored the glare and said, "Sasuke I want you home right after school, got it?"
Sasuke stopped eating. "Why?"
"Well," Deidara sat down next to Itachi with his own plate. "There's something we need to talk to you about."
"What about?"
"It's about how to get natural powers like mine." Itachi explained. Sasuke stood up and placed his plate in the sink.
"Just tell me now."
"No, after school. Now go." Deidara stood and gavehim a small shove towards the door.
Sasuke sighed. "Fine. Right after school." And with that he grabbed his bag and left.

"Sasuke!" Sasuke turned his head at the familiar call of his best friend. The boy had naturally spiky golden blonde hair and sky blue eyes. On both cheeks were matching pairs of three scars that suited his outlook perfectly. He wore the boy's school uniform of a white button down shirt with blue tie and dark blue slacks. His name was Naruto Uzumaki.
"Sasuke! Help!" Naruto ran up and hid behind Sasuke. "She's going to kill me!"
Sasuke sighed and rubbed his eyes. "What'd you do to Sakura this time?" Sakura was also Sasuke's friend. She was the only girl in school that didn't have some sort of crush on him…anymore.
"NARUTO!!" Sakura yelled, tearing across the schoolyard. She had short pink hair and emerald green eyes. She also wore the traditional girl school uniform of a white button up shirt with blue bow and a blue checked skirt. She was also known for her bad temper. Unfortunately (mostly for Sasuke) Naruto was known to provoke her wrath.
"I'm sorry Sakura-chan!" Naruto said, twisting Sasuke this way and that to keep him in between the pissed girl and the scared boy. "It was an accident!"
"You messed up my hair you little punk!" Sakura yelled, trying to get around the barricade, aka Sasuke. Sasuke noticed that Sakura's hair was indeed messed up. In fact, she was completely soaked. She paused. "Good morning Sasuke-kun. Would you mind moving so I can kill the brat behind you?" She asked sweetly.
"No don't!" Naruto pleaded. Sasuke looked between them and shrugged, easily breaking Naruto's grip and moving to the side. Sakura growled at Naruto and they both took off. "TRAITOR!!" Naruto yelled behind him.
"DIE!!" Sakura tackled Naruto. Sasuke sighed and headed to his first period as the sounds of fighting sounded after him.

Naruto arrived soon before the first bell rang, followed by a content Sakura, who's hair was perfect and clean now. Naruto growled at Sasuke. "Asshole."
"Looks like you got off easy." Sasuke replied as he checked Naruto over. Only a few cuts and bruises as well as a swollen cheek.
"He did get off easy." Sakura said. "He fucking soaked me with a water balloon."
"I told you that you got in the way of my attack on Shikamaru! And what about Kiba?! He helped!" Naruto protested.
"I'll get Kiba too. He just got away is all." She sniffed.
Sasuke whacked Naruto's head. "OW! What the hell?!" Naruto tried to punch the boy back, but Sasuke easily dodged it.
"That's for using me as a wall between you and Sakura." He said.
Sakura giggled and decided to change the subject. "So what are you two doing after school today?"
"Going home."
"Why? Come hang out with Lee and me instead!" Sasuke winced at the thought of hanging out with Sakura's boyfriend Rock Lee. His choice of outfits and haircut can scare even the most powerful Oni away.
"Sorry. Itachi-niisan wants me home." Plus I don't think I could stomach it. He added.
Sakura pouted. "What about you Naruto?"
"As much as I'd love to hang out with you and bushy-brows again, I can't. I've got to make it to the store because its buy one get one free on ramen today!" Naruto sighed happily. Both of his friends rolled their eyes. Naruto was completely obsessed with ramen.
"Oh well. Maybe if Kiba and Hinata want to double date, I might not beat him up."
"No fair!" Naruto complained. Their conversation however ended as the late bell rang, signaling for class to start.
