Angel of the Night.
Twas a dark night in the village of Konoha. No stars, no moon, not a cricket chirping or owl hooting; just an unsettling silence. Although the feeling of death prevailed the air shinobi still had a job to do, such as guarding the village. Some were using night vision goggles others, such as people with doujutsus, were using their bloodlines to get around. This was the case of one...lucky individual guarding the north gate.
"Why am I stuck guarding this gate?! This is a job for a commoner not a Hyuga!" Thought the guard, angry that the Hokage would give him the menial task of guarding the gate.
"Must be because of this damn darkness sweeping the village. Still they could have given something for this damn cold." He thought rubbing his hands trying to get some feeling back into them. This was situation in the village for the past few weeks. The mornings would be the same as they always had been; sunny and warm. However the nights had changed considerably. Every night had become darker and colder until there were no stars; no moon not a light in the sky and the lakes had frozen over. This confused everyone in the village as this was the fire country. It never snowed and the coldest it did get was 75 degrees Celsius. It had to be at least 40 degrees out tonight. There was no case of chakra so that ruled out a jutsu signifying something else was causing this unnatural occurrence.
The Hyuga went over to the small torch on the wall to warm up and check the time and see how much longer to stay in this ice box.
"Great another two hours of this." The Hyuga walked balk to his post and watch for anything or one coming. Like anyone would be out in this weather.
"Strange what is that?" He looked out and saw a small spot of light a few ways out that was gradually getting bigger. He looked up and saw a small piece of the moon was showing through the darkness in the sky. Soon the entire sky cleared up and was alit with the moon and stars.
"Well at least I can see better. Now if only there was something worth my time out here."
"So you have wished so shall it be granted."A voice whispered into his ear. He quickly turned around trying to figure out if he heard anything or if his mind was playing tricks on him. He realized it had to be the wind as nothing could get past the Byakugan.
"Stupid wind messing with me." He suddenly turned when he heard a high pitched noise. In the darkness he saw two yellow eyes staring at him. He enhanced his vision and saw a large bat was the cause of the disturbance. He threw one of his kunai at the rodent and watched as it flew away.
"Well that kept me entertained for a second." He returned to his post and suddenly noticed something was coming towards him. As the figure walked closer to the gate he saw that it was a man wearing a black trench coat with the collar raised up and an unusual black hat. "Probably to protect him from the cold." As he got closer the Hyuga could make out a black T-shirt with a silver chain hanging around his neck that a held a metal kanji emblem for angel. The man also wore black leather gloves and black boots. There was also a multitude of chains running along the pants of the man as well as a chain belt around the waist. The Hyuga didn't know why but there was something about the man that chilled him to the bone. He quickly shook off the feeling and tried to regain a sense of authority.
"Halt. State your name and purpose for being here."
The man bowed before he replied to the guard. "My name is Angelus and I was hoping to enter the village to find a place to stay for the night. I have been traveling for a few days and you can undoubtfully see the weather is far from hospitable. I would really like to sleep in a warm bed for once."
"The gate is to remain closed by order of the Hokage. Come back in the morning and the gate will be open."
"Surely you know I won't survive in this weather. If I can't enter the village can you at least get me something so I don't freeze to death?"
"No now leave before I force you to."
"Fine and here I heard Konoha was the most hospitable village out of all the hidden villages. I'll be back in the morning provided I don't freeze to death." Angelus said walking away from the gates and back into the forest. The Hyuga could care less what happened to the commoner. He just wanted his damn shift to be over and get into his nice warm bed. He turned to fire as it suddenly started to shrink until it was extinguished. The moon was suddenly covered by a large cloud and the gate was covered in darkness again. The Hyuga cursed and walked over to relight the fire when he heard something coming towards him. Before he could dodge something lodged into his hand and pinned him to the wall. He cursed again and tried to pull whatever was lodged into his hand. Suddenly there was the sound of footsteps coming closer towards him. The cloud moved away from the moon bathing the gates in light again. He saw that there was a large dagger that had embedded his hand. The Hyuga looked ahead and saw the same man that was at the gate in front of him. He also saw the bat from before on the shoulder of the man. From here he could see the man had long platinum white hair that ran down his back and almost touched the ground. He could also see his blue eyes that seemed to stare straight through him.
"Looks like you have a problem on your hands."
"Shut up and help me!" Shouted the Hyuga trying to pull the dagger out.
"Now why would I help you when I'm the one who threw the dagger." He stated simply.
"You did this." He said now feverishly trying to pull the dagger out and rip this guy apart.
"Of course I did you didn't help me so why should I help you?" He saw the guard glaring at him while he tried to free his hand. "You want to rip me apart right now don't you? This will be interesting to see." he said as he stretched his arm out and the dagger was pulled from the Hyuga's hand and back into Angelus trench coat. The Hyuga wasted no time and immediately charged him, trying to seal his chakra points. Angelus just dodged them in a fluid motion like water infuriating the Hyuga. The Hyuga suddenly faked a right strike then used his left arm and struck Angelus in his chest right where his heart was located. The Hyuga smiled when he saw the man groan in pain but wasn't prepared when he was suddenly hoisted into the air with a hand around his throat chocking the life out of him.
"Interesting you struck my heart forcing chakra into it and trying to cause it to rupture. Unfortunately that won't help you here as my heart has not worked in many years. I'm afraid I have to end this match right here. Can't have you spilling that precious blood of yours," he said pointing towards the trail of blood that came from the Hyuga, "Speaking of which what is your blood type? From the smell it seems to be O negative but there's something different about it." He asked scaring the Hyuga that was being held up.
"What are you?" The Hyuga managed to choke out.
"I am Angelus Marcellus the Third. And as for what I am...I am a Nightstalker, Stirgoi or more commonly known as a vampire and I thank you for the meal tonight. I wasn't lying when I said I would freeze to death but not in the same way you were thinking." The Hyuga watched as the man in front of him head drop and his body started to change. His ears became pointed and the hand holding his neck became pointed and started to go into his skin. The hand around his neck began to feel like ice. Angelus slowly raised his head and showed his eyes had now become blood red and his pupils were purple.
"You know if you had been a little nicer you could have survived the night," he said showing off his enlarged canines, "oh who am I kidding I would have killed you anyway." He said before sinking his teeth into the wound on the Hyuga's hand and draining the blood out of him. Soon the Hyuga was almost completely drained of blood and Angelus threw the body on the out side of the village. He whistled and a pack of wolves soon came out of the forest and walked to the gate stopping in front of the body.
"There's about a pint of blood left in his body. Take his body into the forest and do with it what you want." The wolves grabbed the body and began to drag it into the forest to eat. Angelus turned to the village in front of him and smiled.
"I do believe I'm going to enjoy this village." He quickly turned into a swarm of bats and flew into the village to make this his new home.
Angelus reappeared on the ground and began to walk around the village for a place to sleep. He took in the buildings as he passed them. He stopped when he thought he heard whimpering coming from an alley way. He started to walk away until he heard the whimpering again. Curiousity getting the better of him he walked down the alley. He looked around but could not find what ever made that sound but he did find something a small trail of blood.
"Well I still am a little hungry." He thought following the trail leading him further into the alley. When he reached the source of the blood his hunger was gone and he was sickened by what he found. There on the wall was a small child, no more than the age of four, pinned to the wall by stakes driven through each hand and one through his ankles, which were held together by wire. There long gashes across his arms and legs that blood was draining from forming a small puddle on the floor. There were also burn marks decorating them as well. On his chest the word "Demon" was carved that was adding to the blood loss. On his head was also a crown of wire that was twisted into his skull. What surprised Angelus was through all the blood on the floor the boy was still alive. "This boy must have a strong will to live." He thought as he saw the rising and falling motion of his chest. The boy slowly was his head and stared into Angelus's eyes. Angelus could now see the long cuts that ran along his face, one that caught his attention ran across his right eye and went down past his neck.
"Please…help me" the boy asked before he passed out from the pain. Angelus quickly walked over to the boy and tried to help him. He noticed the stakes had spikes that turned away from the point, so if someone tried to pull the stake out they would also rip out piece of flesh. He gave the boy a look of sympathy before he pulled the stake in his right hand out. Like he expected the boy woke up from the pain and started screaming. Angelus blocked it out and pulled the other stakes causing the boy to fall into him. He quickly set the boy down and grabbed the wire around his head and began to unravel it, causing more pain from the boy. Soon he was down and the boy had passed out again. He was about to take out some gauze to wrap the wounds when he saw them glow red and begin to heal. The child soon looked like he had even received a scratch from the whole ordeal. He took off his coat and wrapped it around the boy so he wouldn't freeze to death. He leaned on the wall watching the child while a few thoughts ran through is head.
"What could this child have done to deserve this and how did he heal that fast? This truly is a very interesting village." Ja Ne
