Summary: When the students' safety at Cross Academy is jeopardized by the threat of a Vampire Rebellion, Team 7 is enlisted by the Chairman to help protect his school and it's occupants. But hiring the shinobi might've been the wrong thing to do.

Note (that I would appreciate if you read): Yes, updated, rewritten, as I've had this on the butchering board for a while, but never got to it. I was debating re-writting the whole thing and re-posting, but I didn't want to lose the reviews of those that were kind enough to do so. Yeah, I've completely reworded everything so you might want to read it over again, and give me your feedback, if you like my writing style better now. (Which I surely hope you do. I was again, cringing as I re-read it). It's mostly the same overall idea, just very modified. Oh, and there's an Rant thing at the end of this chapter.

Chapter 1

Introduction

"Hey Zero! Has the Night Class already gotten out?" The girl that called to her companion had to push and shove her way through the mass of screaming girls already gathered at the majestic gates of the Nigh Class Dorms. In return though, all she got was a shake of the head. Closing her eyes in frustration, the short girl sighed to herself and pondered the silver haired prefect's behavior. It was understood that after the whole disaster with Shizuka, he would be in a state of shock, but since they day before yesterday, he was being even more difficult than normal.

Not waiting for his partner to even walk to his side, he had already started to do his job. "Prefects coming through. Back off!" as soon as Zero shouted that, the Day Class girls quieted down quite a bit and made a narrow path for the duo to pass through. Though some secretly worshiped Zero as eye-candy, their fear/respect? of him automatically showed as they obeyed him, and not Yuuki. Inwardly sweat-dropping, Yuuki tapped her fingers against her side. As the mass of girls parted like the Red Sea, the female prefect was just about ready to start her job until she took a good look as to why the girls had immediately quieted.

Standing in front of them were 4 men who looked about the same age as them, except one that had silver hair. Said man held an orange book in front of his face, but was dressed casually enough in an all black ensemble, along with a dark green vest with many pockets. Next to him was a boy wearing an eerily fake smile, with dark hair and eyes, but extremely pale skin. He was wearing semi-fitting black pants and sandals, but with a dark brown long sleeved shirt. In one hand, there was a sketchbook and in the other, he was twirling a paintbrush around with his fingers. The one that stood out most, was a blond boy with whiskered cheeks, sparkling cerulean eyes, and a sunny smile. He was wearing mostly black, but with obnoxious orange accents here or there. The last one, looked similar to the second boy, again having dark hair and eyes, but this one had longer hair spiked in the back. He as well had a dark colored outfit consisting mainly of dark blue and black.

They were more built that most of the Night Class members, and as Zero tensed up next to her it only confirmed what Yuuki thought as well. Vampires, or (maybe even worse) vampire hunters. Before any action was taken, the gates swung open fluidly, revealing a crowd of aristocratic people in white uniforms.

"That's strange," Aido whispered to Akatsuki, "usually they're all over us by now…"

Just then, an unfamiliar female voice broke the heavy silence that settled upon everyone, obviously sounding a bit annoyed. "Oi! What did you guys do now to cause such a disturbance?"

Yuuki turned. The person, who spoke, was a petite girl with very unique features. She had light pink hair that stopped just above her shoulders and there was a headband like thing on the top of her head with something carved into a metal part of it. Upon closer inspection, Yuuki realized that all the men had a similar headband on some part of their outfit. Her eyes were large and expressive, and conveyed her emotions clearly. A scarlet red Chinese-esque top adorned her torso, coming to rest atop a black, slitted at the sides skirt, with black leggings going about mid-thigh. There was a beige colored belt containing many little pockets around her waist, black gloves on her hands, and black slightly heeled sandals covered her feet to complete her attire.

"I'm very sorry if my teammates have caused you any trouble or if they have done any damage." Walking over to the other four, she fixed them with a stare, analyzing their reactions to see if they had done anything wrong. Most of the men shrugged casually, while one scoffed lightly.

A low baritone rang out through the area, asking the question that had been on almost everyone's mind. "Who are you people?" The one who had asked was none other than the Night Class President, Kaname Kuran. His tone was a monotone, if containing only a hint of suspicion.

"We're guards hired by the Chairman." the blond one said cheerfully.

"We, are shinobi." elaborated the pinkette.

Shifting from one foot to the other, Naruto narrowed his eyes while pouting. The combination made him look like an angry five-year-old, but he really didn't care. The Chairman, who had hired them, was explaining about the mission and everything it entailed.

Vampires, schmampires, they wouldn't stand a chance against them, he was sure of it! Although it was easy to forget at times due to how he acted, Sai was in ANBU before, and Root, to specify. He wouldn't have survived the Organization if he wasn't an elite shinobi or know what he was doing in the battlefield. And although the guy could be an insensitive jerk at times, Naruto had to admit that he was a lot more tolerable than four years ago when they first met. This was mainly due to the patience Sakura had poured into the lessons they had about the do's and don't's of social interaction and people.

Sakura-chan was the sweetest person he had the pleasure of being on a Team on - considering he worked with an interaction retarded iceblock, a bastard, and Kakashi - and to boot, she was super strong as well. Her prowess in the medical field was surpassed by no one else except the Fifth Hokage herself and she was just so independent now. Naruto knew that she looked after, patched up, and kept Team 7 in working order with an iron fist, but also a mother's touch. She was his best friend and sister, but she seriously scared him sometimes with her strength.

Kakashi was, well, Kakashi. The mere name brought many fear, others, exasperation (mainly his teammates) but there was a reason he was a genius. He could adapt to almost anything, and the Sharingan helped as well. Nowadays, he was a little looser around the team, regarding them closer to shinobi that were sometimes able to beat him in a spar than the annoying genin they were.

Sasuke, had returned to the village after a long struggle, and although Naruto bugged him constantly to tell him what had made him change his mind, the Uchiha always kept a tight lip. It wasn't easy getting him back into the village, and many people - civilians and shinobi alike - wanted the last remaining Uchiha to be prosecuted on the spot. Naruto had defended his best friend and rival from the start, and although Kakashi never made his opinion clear, he supported Naruto's decision from a distance, it was Sakura's reaction that surprised everyone the most.

Two Years Ago

As Naruto walked, he stretched his arms out, and then proceeded to interlock them and tuck them behind his head. Everyone in the Retrieval Team was weary, but all the males had some semblance of a victorious facial expression in their own way. The group of boys turned men were quite similar to the original Sasuke Retrival Team, except with a few new faces.

It had been a grueling four month mission that had the leadership split between Shikamaru and Neji. Along with them, Naruto, Lee, Sai and Kiba were sent as well. There was a whole complicated mess as to why they were pursuing the ex-Konoha nin, but either way, when Tsunade mentioned it, all the boys decided that they were up for the challenge.

With a nod in affirmation, and a lazy wave, Shikamaru acknowledged Kotetsu and Izumo, who were currently rubbing their eyes in disbelief. Naruto grinned so hard, he was pretty sure his face was in danger of splitting...well, whatever. Sakura-chan would heal it right up!

As if speaking of the girl made her appear, the kunoichi was in the middle of the Konoha gates, along with a few others including the females of the Konoha Eleven, the random bystander, and a few ANBU. Among shouts of "The Cherry Blossom's youthful presence calms my heart after a trying mission!" and the like, Naruto rushed ahead to gather Sakura into a big bear hug, his frame easily lifting hers up off the ground. Laughing lightly, she punched him affectionately on the shoulder and ordered to be set down. When the blonde complied, she scanned her eyes over him, looking for any injuries, and when she found none, nodded approvingly and looked at her other teammate, Sai. She went over this process with all the others, and when she spotted a gash on Neji's cheek that was sure to scar, she lifted a hand to the injury and healed it so that the skin was raw, but it wouldn't leave a scare.

All the while ignoring the main reason the team was back.

The kunoichi behind Sakura, grinned like they knew something that the men didn't, but quickly covered their coy smiles with their hands. Naruto furrowed his brows as the rest of the Sasuke Retrical Team. Part 2. raised their brows at Sakura's blatant refusal to acknowledge the Uchiha.

As she finished the line of checkup, Sakura stood in front of Sasuke with narrowed eyes, sizing him up. They were about three feet apart, and neither made an move to increase or decrease the distance. Looking as arrogant as ever, Sasuke just gave Sakura a blank, bus still somehow condescending look that cause Sakura's pretty features to twist into a scowl. Just then, as Shikamaru was about to break apart the oh-so-touching reunion of the two, Sakura's right fist clenched as she proceeded to sucker punch the Uchiha about twenty feet back straight into a tree.

Still in her follow-through position (body pitched forward, right hand out in front still clenched in a fist, left leg forward) she looked up to glare at the dark-haired shinobi with a facial expression that she just had to have acquired from Tsunade. Straightening up slowly, she flipped her short hair once. "Che, serves you right, Uchiha." she bit out. Turning without a backwards glance, she walked by Naruto, who was at this point gaping at his teammate's action towards Sasuke and stopped only to address the ANBU operatives present. "Tsunade has given permission for him to be taken to the hospital before going to meet her in the office. Shizune will heal him." Shooting another glare towards the fallen man - who Naruto and Shikamaru were helping up, both smothering the need to laugh - she said, "Welcome back to Konoha, bastard." before stalking off in the direction of the Hokage Tower.

Grinning a bit at the memory, he silently concluded that the Sakura from two years ago (and now) was so much more kick ass than before.

"...Naruto? Naruto!"

It took a flick in the middle of his forehead, courtesy of Sakura, for the blonde to pay attention to what was going on. Sheepishly, he apologized to the straw haired man in front of them - Kaien Kurosu, was it? - and stuck his tongue out at Sakura quickly. She made an obscene hand gesture behind Kakashi's back at Naruto, so their client wouldn't see, and shifted all her attention to in front of her.

"These are my adoptive children, Yuuki and Zero." with a slight tilt of his head, he gestured to his left, where a short brown haired girl with large matching brown eyes, and a much taller boy possessing silvery-white hair and lavender eyes that reminded them of a former Akatsuki member. "They were the prefects that took care of most of the patrolling around the Night Class, but recently, there have been more and more reports of Levels E vampires wandering the streets and ultimately, ending up in the school. They're increasing rapidly, so much that it worries me."

Yuuki flickered her eyes to look at her father, her caretaker. It was unusual for him to be so serious and frankly, it was unnerving her. She preferred the man that would walk around the halls in a poncho with a silly grin permanently on his face. This recent, new side of Kaien made her wonder at just how much of a threat the Level E's and also the rouge Purebloods were posing to not only the students, but also the population of everything in general.

"I expect you all to help around with the patrolling, and you all have efficient ways of communication, yes?" He paused for a moment, only for the shinobi to all give a quick nod in affirmation, before continuing. "If anything should happen, I would ask you handle it in the most humane way possible, and alert either Yuuki, Zero, or myself immediately. I thank you for your services."

It was a clear dismissal, and the members of Team 7 bowed to show their respect. At this point, Yuuki stepped forward. "If the males would please follow Zero, he will lead you to your dorms. And Sakura-san, would you please follow me? The dorms are separated by gender, and a room has been reserved for you next to my dorm."

Zero was the first person out of the room, not looking back to see if the guests were following him. Sighing tiredly, Yuuki gestured back at Sakura and gave her a smile that didn't really reach her eyes. She was tired of this, of everything that had happened. It was as if everything and anything that could have gone wrong, did, in only the past few days.

After a few paces of silent walking, Sakura sped up a bit to walk shoulder to shoulder to Yuuki. Noticing that they were about the same height, she pondered how to ask the question that had been bugging her every since she walked into the room. "Yuuki-san?" when Sakura properly had the girl's attention, she went on, "I have been wondering, is Zero-san a vampire as well? Like the Night Class?" More feeling than seeing the prefect tense up, she elaborated. "It's just that, I found it strange for him to be wearing the Day Class uniform, but his presence, his essence, is different than yours, or even mine. It's empty feeling, still there somehow, but sufficiently vacant, just like the Night Class."

Giving a weak smile that looked more like a grimace, Yuuki slowed her steps a bit, prolonging the arrival time to their dorms to talk to the strange, and observant girl. "Was it really that easy to detect, Sakura-san? And how are you able to sense a person's presence?" Sakura and her team proved to be very different than the ninja she had pictured when Kaien had first brought the topic up.

"Well, it's just something that we learn to pick up on as a shinobi. It's like a pre-cursor to anything we learn. It's a way to identify an enemy from a friend -" Sakura realized she was ranting, and she stopped herself from going into a whole lecture on shinobi and chakra signatures. Shaking her head to comfort Yuuki, "No, I am pretty sure that a normal civilian would not be able to tell the difference, but for people like me, we are trained to see underneath the underneath, and to be very observant. Speaking of which, why do you smile even when you obviously don't mean it?" Sakura had caught the many pained smiles Yuuki had been giving different people all day and night. It reminded her of the ones Sai used to give, and that unnerved her. With Yuuki, Sakura couldn't help but feel a dull ache whenever she read through the upturn of lips, and into the hurt that was beyond it.

"Is it really that obvious?"

Giving a small grin, Sakura pointed her index finger at herself. "Ninja, remember? Again I'll say it, very observant."

Laughing only a little, Sakura was delighted to hear that it was real. "There's just a lot of things going on with...the school, Zero, the Night Class, that are bugging me, is all." It was a brief explanation that brought up a lot more questions than answered them, but Sakura decided to stop interrogating the obviously tired girl for the night.

Looking at the room number and memorizing the hallway, she asked, "Could you point me in the way of the Night Class Dorms or Classrooms? Wherever those vampires hang out at this hour..." The last sentence was mainly to herself.

The high ceiling to floor windows were to Sakura's left, Yuuki's right, and that was exactly where the brunette pointed to. They're East of where we are, so...you see that big stone building with the church bell on the top?" Sakura needed to squint a bit to see it, but gave a sound 'Aa' when she spotted it. "I'm assuming you need to go introduce yourselves to the Night Class President, right? If so, he should be in that room at this time, along with some of the other vampires you'll probably need to get acquainted with."

"Thank you very much, Yuuki-san! Sakura looked out the window once more, committing the building to memory before running her eyes over the girl in front of her. "Yuuki, you look very tired. I will take the patrol tonight, you get some rest." When said girl opened her mouth to protest, Sakura settled one hand on her hip, and the other as a finger wag. "I'm a professional medic, so I think you should listen to what I say. Plus, you don't need to worry. I'm a big girl, I can handle myself. If we weren't the best, your father would never have hired us."

More grateful for the time to sleep than anything, Yuuki didn't put up too much of an argument, and muttered a faint, "Thank you, Sakura-san." before taking her key out to unlock the big wood doors to her dorm. Right before Yuuki entered, Sakura parted with one last reassuring phrase.

"If you ever need to talk or need help, feel free to call me. Whether your friend Zero likes to admit it or not, we're officially involved, and we're in this together, alright? And please, Yuuki, drop the -san from my name. I don't like to be too formal with someone my age." gently nudging her in the direction of her room, Sakura left the hallway without any other notice. Yuuki stood there for a second, contemplating the pinkette's words for a while before smiling and nodding her head to herself and entering the room.

With a soft, 'click', the door shut closed.

After the strange entrance, the whole school was buzzing about the 5 mysterious people. Even the Night Class, who usually did not partake or care about any of the school's latest gossip, was discussing the matter.

Standing by the Nigh Class President's desk, she raised her voice, making it clear she was not happy. "What right do they have to just barge in here!"

"They said the Chairman hired them…" Rima supplied, shrugging casually as she tapped her hands on an armchair rest.

Interjecting his own phrase into the conversation, Ichijou asked, "Kaname, you met with them and the Chairman, correct?"

Nodding slightly, the Kuran pureblood folded his hands together in front of him, his eyes wandering to the occupants of the room. His most trusted vampires. "Yes, they are a team of shinobi, ninja, hired by the Chairman because of the Shizuka incident." Bringing his folded hands upward and leaning on his elbows, he created a cushion for his head to rest upon. "But not only that, we all know that some of the other purebloods have been planning a rebellion, using Level E vampires to do their bidding. Kaien is also worried about the safety of the Day Class students, so they're here to protect them as well."

Sighing, Ichijou lifted his hands in a defeated motion. "Well, what can you do? The Chairman is allowed to do what he feels is right for his Academy."

Slightly more calm than before, the sandy-haired vampire narrowed her eyes simultaneously while crossing her arms. "But how the hell do we know that they're trustworthy? They could be assassins for all we know!"

"A good guess, Ruka-san." a masculine voice, sounding somewhat amused, seemingly sounded from outside the window. A moment later, a blonde head appeared through it, and the body that accompanied it climbed in through the window. Similarly, a feminine hand reached for the inside sill of the window and hauled themselves up and through. Straightening, she flashed a quick, but a sheepish smile towards everyone in the room. "Though I can assure you, we are completely trustworthy!" finished the blonde male.

As if on cue, the two tall, dark, and handsome members of Team 7 walked it through the door opposite the window. "You two could have walked the stairs, you know." Sai said as a means of introduction. Yeah, they were still working on social skills with that one.

"But it's more fun this way."

Flashing a quick eye-crease that looked eerily similar to their team leader's, Sai replied without missing a beat. "If you say so, Hag."

Letting the insult roll off easily, Sakura pondered when the nickname became something so casual and non-offensive to her. Even about a year ago, she would have easily beat the man through a wall for calling her that loathsome nickname. Now, Sakura still contemplated of whacking him over the head, but decided that it was better to save her punched for the enemies...and it would be a very bad first impression.

Clapping her hands together, the kunoichi decided to take the initiative and bring everyone back on topic. "Well, everyone. Since we're here, we should get to business, right?" Looking around and surveying the facial expressions of the vampires around her, she pursed her lips a bit. The vampire she were told about as a little girl were much different than the ones in front of her. In fact, seeing the female vampires and how beautiful they were, made her self-esteem drop a fraction.

Okay, so much more than a fraction, but that wasn't the point.

She really didn't know how to start off telling them that they needed protection because from what she had gathered, they were very prideful creatures, especially that Ruka lady, and she didn't want to offend anyone on the first sentence. Letting out a quick puff of air, she went over a few options in her head quickly. Letting Naruto do that opening might annoy or offend all the occupants in the room, Sasuke just didn't speak in general, and if Sai opened his mouth, Sakura feared for the safety of everyone in the room. Conveniently, their oh-so-eloquent team leader, Kakashi, was no where to be found.

"For starters, my name is Sakura Haruno, very please to meet you all, and we, Team 7 are here...for your protection." she finished lamely...in all honesty, that was pretty much all that needed to be said, but of course, nothing could be that easy.

Obviously being stubborn, just to spite them, Ruka immediately voiced her objection. "This is an outrage! We are all vampires of noble blood, and don't need your protection." The last word was said in a bitter tone, but she still continued. "I also don't care if the Chairman trust you, I sure as hell do not-"

"We don't need your approval to be where we are. Our team was hired to do our job, and we will be doing it, needless of your consent.'' Sasuke bit out from Sai's side. His voice was still decidedly monotone, but held an underlying hiss of annoyance.

Before the supposedly civil meeting became an all out brawl, Sakura intervened in the conversation. Lifting her hands in a placating manner, she stepped in front of Ruka's line of vision to Sasuke, putting her in the middle of the room, and unnervingly deprived of something to guard her back. "What he meant to say, was that the Chairman did hire us, and we plan to do everything we can to fulfill every expectation that he has for us. I understand that the, er- Night Class, needs much less of our attention than the Day, but just know that if you are every in a tough situation, we will be there to help you out of it." A tentative silence followed after Sakura's 'edited' version of the reason they were there, and the pinkette inwardly prayed to the First Hokage, Kami, anyone, really, that everyone would be diplomatic enough to be reasonable.

"Since we will apparently be spending some time together then, should we not get acquainted?" Rima's melodic voice drifted through the room, breaking the silence, and soothing Sakura's slightly tensed muscles. Okay, so at least one person didn't want to strangle her teammates. That was good. Hopefully the other vampires would try to follow suit.

Another voice followed the female one. Though, this one was clearly male, and held a pacifying tone to it. "I agree. Now, to our visitors, I believe that I didn't catch your names?" Ichijou was giving an easy smile to the members of Team 7, and Sakura gave a grateful one back. She turned towards Sai, indicating for him to go first. In reply, he nodded and stepped forward only a bit.

"My name is Sai, I hope to encounter you in some social interaction soon." giving a brief nod, he stepped back. Chuckling at some of the odd faces the vampires were making, Sakura gave Sai a slight thumbs up. He was learning, but he could still use a few lessons in introductions.

As she turned her head to Sasuke, he shot her an apathetic look, which in turn caused Sakura to roll her eyes at his immature antics. Speaking for him, she placed her hands on her hips. "The one next to him, who refuses to introduce himself because of his wounded pride, is Sasuke Uchiha, or as some call him, the Ice Bastard." Dismissing the glare he sent her way, she motioned to Naruto who had been surprisingly quite and well-behaved. Mentally, she told Inner to remind her to give Naruto a doggy treat later.

Making a bigger show than needed, Naruto straightened up, flashed a sunny smile, and folded his arms together loosely. "And I'm Naruto Uzumaki, Hokage-in-training...!"

Author's Note/Rambling/Rant:

Okay, so here goes, no? Tell me if you actually read these things, or else I probably won't waste my time writing these rants out.

- Totally redid everything. I'm planning on fixing all the chapters as well (and combining some of them), maybe even cutting everything up, putting it in the blender, and just trashing about half of it. Don't worry, your favorite pink-haired spitfire will still have her scenes with the vampire boys, but just, in a more discreet and fashionable way than the shameless fanservice/fluff that I was dishing out in these chapters before. Seriously though, re-writting the whole damn thing. It's been a...year since I updated? And I really can't stand the writing from just a year ago. Hopefully you'll stay with me, yes? And I do plan on improving my writing, as I'm still quite young, (Sophomore in HS, bitch! Well, once school starts, that is) and I'm constantly reading other fanfiction and hopefully learning from them.

- Naruto's POV was just something I've wanted to write, and a kind of history lesson without you knowing it. Now, you know how Sasuke returned to the village! Kinda. Meh, it was fun to write, cause I just oh-so-love writing in the perspective of a little kid at times. . . Just kidding, or maybe not.

- I've been in the mood recently to punt Sasuke out a window and down a very, very high cliff into an abyss of darkness where he will be forever along, and seehowyoulikethatyoubastard. . . Yeah, I've been in a Sasuke-hating mood for some reason. No, it's not because of what's happening in the manga. Truthfully, I haven't been keeping up with the manga in like... six months ago? Maybe because it's because I've been reading lots of fanfiction that have either the presence of Sasuke gone (i.e. dead) or, him just being a complete asshole. Meh, I tried my best to not make that show in this chapter, but if he's acting more douche-like than normal in his short appearances, you know why.

- On the opposite end, I've been fairly in love with Sai. His little-boy cluelessness, and how he really does mean well is just like a sucker punch to the gut. I tried to portray him as slightly awkward, but eager to learn. Oh, and by the way, Team 7 is like...18-19-ish age wise, I should say. You can figure out Kakashi's age from there. I thought it would be a good age to make them, therefore I would think Team 7 would function well as a team by then, and it works pretty well with how old the VK characters are. Yuuki's 17, Zero is 18, and the vampires, well - if you ask me what their age it, I think I might just punt you down a hill.

- Ah, good ol' Vampire Knight. Sad to say, I haven't been keeping up with that one either. So yeah, I'm completely lost on what's actually happening, but this is AU, right? And it is my world, so blerg, I have control. I've also always picture Ruka being a bitch at times, and a softie at others...kinda like Sakura, except - bitichier. It was amusing to write her out, along with Rima.

- And with every chapter update, I hope to have a good feature SakuraxSomeone fanfic you should read. Today's spotlight, House Calls by Spoiled Sweet. It's a really snarky, funny, sarcastic, but amazingly written KakaSaku, and I have to admit, I've been reading it over and over for the past month. In other words, ILOVEITSOMUCHYOUSUNOVABITCH. Yeah, it's rated M, but there's not much smut in it, yet. I think the author is planning on some in the later chapters.

- Lastly, no promises on updating every week or whatever because there's some family things I need to deal with, and I have a summer job and sad to say, I've caught the summer laziness bug, along with the famed writer's block. But on a side note, I will be continuing this story as well as all my other multi-chaptered ones, just give me some time, okay? Though this story shouldn't be too long of a wait as I've got most of everything typed out, it's more editing and stuff, but again, no promises. If you couldn't tell from the Chapter above, I almost trashed everything and rewrote it. WHATEVER, I'LL JUST SHUT UP NOW.

Important Notice: I really don't know what I want to do with the other chapters, but I figured I might as well keep them up just for the heck of it. Know that it will probably be much edited when I get the chance (as this chapter is only slightly similar to the original) and what you read as it is unedited will almost definitely change once it is edited. The thing was, I didn't want to have this story having 13k words, then suddenly drop to 4k, and have people extremely confused. So, I'll keep them up for your enjoyment (if you even enjoy it...I read it now, and shudder from how terrible it was) but yeah, know that it's not going to stay like that. In a way, think of it that I'm re-writing this whole fanfic. Thanks for understanding! And I may or may not cut the Akatsuki (Naruto-verse) out of this because with the new angle that I'm aiming for (pure-blood takeover/rebellion) they might not be included...

-That's about it!

Review if you would like to encourage me to update, and hopefully I'll be seeing you?
