[Inspired by my 'Darling']

1. Moonlight

The sun had set behind the tall buildings of the city, flooding the sky with scarlet, like a bleeding wound. Although it was summer, the temperature had dropped as darkness crept across the sky. Hinata suppressed a shiver as the wind caressed her skin like cool fingers. Her cousin Neji glanced at her, his pale eyes flashed like silver in the deepening dusk. Neji was tall and solidly built. He was the strongest and fastest person Hinata knew. He was also extremely handsome with his long dark hair, that gleamed bronze under the yellow streetlights, and strong forearms that revealed firm muscles and smooth skin.

Hinata sighed quietly and ran her fingers through her long blue-black tresses.
I know it's weird to compare myself to a guy, but I wish I looked more like Neji-nii san. I wish I was more attractive, thought Hinata. The wind rushed through the trees, causing leaves to rustle, and rubbish to grate against the gravel road as they scattered. Hinata shivered.
"Hinata-sama, are you cold?" Neji asked in a quiet voice.
"I-I'm okay," Hinata replied, wrapping her arms around herself.
"We're almost there."
Hinata could hear the underling message: bare with it. She nodded, knowing that if she were to speak, her voice would betray her emotions. The path before her eyes blurred slightly with her unshed tears.
I'm so weak it's pathetic! She thought, reprimanding herself furiously.

Neji and Hinata turned the corner and saw a bright blue neon sign flashing brightly in the approaching darkness: Moonlight. A line of people stood outside the club, waiting to be let in. Neji simply strolled to the front of the line, as if he owned the place. Hinata hurried to catch up, half running after Neji. The low throb of music pulsated through the air, making Hinata's fingertips tingle. Her stomach churned uncomfortably. It was her first time in such a place, and the task set by her father was making her feel uneasy.

The bouncer looked at Neji. Neji was dressed in straight black jeans, and a black button-up shirt, with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows. His shirt was unbuttoned, revealing his slim neck and collarbone. His long hair was tied back neatly, emphasizing his facial features. His eyes had darkened in the light, and were like steal as he looked back at the bouncer. Neji was undeniably sexy, and dangerous.

The bouncer crossed his arms over his large chest and tilted his head, as if to gain a better view of Hinata. She wore knee high leather boots and a silky black dress that brushed her thighs. She blushed under the bouncer's gaze and looked down. The bounce's hand snaked towards her and lifted her chin. Her rose-pink lips opened in a squeak, as she saw Neji tense in her peripheral vision.
"Go on in sweetie," said the bouncer with a nod. He smirked as Neji passed.

The music was louder, almost deafening inside the club. Bright lights throbbed like blood being propelled through the veins. The hot pink, ice blue, and grass green lights swept over the bodies that were crowded on the dance floor. Hips were swaying to the beat, sweat rolling off bodies, and limbs intertwined.

"Be careful." Warned Neji as he disappeared into the crowd.
Hinata looked around, feeling lost. She didn't know where to start. She was so new at this. She had no idea how to tell who was a vampire.
"Lost?" asked a voice behind her. She spun around and saw a cute guy looking at her with concern. He was as tall as Neji, with bronze skin. His golden hair was spiked up dangerously, as if he could poke your eye out if you stood too close. His eyes were the deepest blue Hinata had ever seen. She smiled slowly. He didn't seem dangerous.
"I, I was just looking for my cousin," Hinata replied trying not to stutter.

"Do you want to sit down until you find your cousin?" he asked with a friendly grin.
"Hinata!" Neji's voice sounded angry.
Hinata whirled to see Neji step out of the sea of dancing bodies and walk towards her. He grabbed her arm and yanked her behind him.
"What do you think you're doing?" he hissed quietly.
"I, he just, we were…" she shook her head, unable to form a sentence. She couldn't understand where Neji's hostility came from.
"Hey, take your hands off her!" the blonde boy demanded.
Neji whirled on the boy, "Stay away from her." His voice was low and dangerous, with a hidden threat. Then he proceeded to drag Hinata away from the boy.

Unknown to Neji and Hinata, they were being watched by a pair of dark eyes.
