Demon Goddess
Chapter One – Leaf Village
Surrounding the group of Anbu shinobi; were at approximate of thirty five adult shinobi, which were all covered with their own blood. Some of them had their heads sliced off, some had their internal organs cut out of them, as for the rest, they were sliced to pieces. However; all the men had one thing in common, their hearts were missing from their corpses. The red liquid of their bodies was remnant upon the wooden floor; however, the amount of the red blood substance made it seem as if it was a blood bath. The smell of the dead corpses was unbearably horrific; however, the sight was much fouler than the actual smell of the dead shinobi. Some of the Anbu couldn't consume the aching feeling within the pits of their stomachs; so outside, they coughed and puked from the sighting of the corpses that were ripped off of their souls. The leader of the group inspected the nearest shinobi which had his internal organs half out of his corpse.
He looked to the chest of the gutted shinobi before standing. He looked to his companions that were inspecting the other corpses to see if they were to hold any signs of life. However; all the results have come out negative. All Anbu regrouped together as the Anbu leader sighed in frustration. All Anbu had rejoined as they had formed a circle so that all could hear and see each other; even the ones that were previously recollecting themselves. Their masked faces hid their expressions as well as their identity. Each mask was white with a different red mark to the others; not only this, but each mask was also a different shape. Each Anbu wore a black shirt that rested very close to their bodies; with their trousers also close to their legs. On top of the black shirts; they all wore something whitish grey which looked like body armour to protect themselves.
"The heart was ripped out of the victim I inspected. There are clear signs that a hand was plunged into the chest; braking all bones that was in the way. The other wounds upon the body would have just killed the victim instantly. So why was it necessary that the heart was to be ripped out of the victims?" a male Anbu spoke out; whilst muttering the question to himself.
"What about the rest of you? Was there another way that the victims appeared to have died; other than their hearts being forced out of the body?" an Anbu which appeared to be the leader of the group spoke out.
"All of them had their chest cleaved open and their hearts no longer remaining within their corpse" another stated which all others agreed to with a nod of their head.
"The connection between each victim states that only one malicious person would have done this. The one that is known as... Demon Heart" the Anbu leader spoke with slight fear showing in his voice.
Prowling around the forest's ground; waiting for the perfect moment to strike her prey. In the middle of a small glacier; a small dark brown rabbit sat, eating its grass happily, without a single ounce of fear. Deep within the nearby bush; a wolf white as fresh fallen snow, lurked. Her piercing ice blue eyes; which can penetrate anything, showed no remorse for her future actions. She licked her chops with her light pink tongue; which held some remnant of saliva. She was prowling down low; half the original size she normally is, to make sure that her prey could not see her. Blood was visible upon her right paw; as it covered only up to the beginning of her leg. Her sharp claws already out in the open; ready to grip onto her prey when she pounced. Her teeth were pearly white; as well as razor sharp, were bared and ready to pierce into the flesh, of her awaited oblivious prey.
The small rabbit stood on its hind legs with its ears perked right up; listening for any sound to emit through the dark forest. It looked to the position of the white wolf's location; however, the rabbit could not see what was lurking behind, for the wolf had hidden herself unnoticeably.
She noticed the rabbit had fear eminent in its small round black eyes. She mentally smirked to herself that the rabbit was now taking its position much more carefully. Her stomach grumbled slightly from the lack of food; she knew that she needed to feast, and soon. Without placing much consideration into what she was doing; she put power into her legs to make a leap; one that would surely not fail her. Her eyes filled with hunger and greed for food; it looked as if she would attack and kill anything that were to ever go in between her and her meal.
She took a leap from the bushes; causing the leaves to rustle from the action of her pouncing. The rabbit snapped its head round to the location of the rustling; but instead of actually escaping its oncoming death; it was caught in between the deadly sharp teeth of the wolf. The neck was in a very awkward position but the rabbit was still alive; for now. She began to close her jaw; causing the sound of bones beginning to crack, to sound through the air. After pushing her powerful jaws closed; the teeth pierced through all the bones that the teeth came in contact with, breaking them completely, resulting to the rabbit, lying in her jaws, lifeless. She opened her jaws allowing her meal to drop to the floor so she could feast upon its flesh; blood, and internal organs. Her pearly white teeth were soon replaced with fresh blood; her jaw was now coated in blood; and her right paw, which was already covered with blood, was on the body, holding it in place as she tore away at the meal.
She devoured her meal; not allowing any other carnivore to attempt to steal her catch. The only remnant of the rabbit was its hair and blood; which stained the ground. She licked her chops; attempting to rid herself of the blood around it. She looked to her left carefully scanning the area around her. She sniffed the air; trying to catch scent of any lurking enemies. To her satisfaction; not one single presence, other than her own, was about. She turned to her right and began to walk through the undergrowth of the overhanging trees. Her pathway was filled with soft green grass that comforted the bottom of her paws. Her ears were pricked on top of her head; as she was alerted and on guard for anyone or anything, that were to attack her. She soon came out of the canopy of the forest and out into the open space of the cliff. She continued to walk right to the very edge of the cliff. She looked down at the village below; watching, hearing and smelling any scent, sound and movement.
She sat on the ground with her ears still pricked as she continued to listen for any sounds. Her ears twitched as a loud sound came from within the village. She sniffed the air around her with her black nose; the scent told her that something was going to happen within the village. She looked to the moon which glowed within the midnight blue sky; which was dotted with light blue dots. The light blue dots were stars that patterned the sky in an astonishing way. Her ice blue eyes stayed upon the comforts of the pale moon. Its beauty; despite it being pale and eerie, was enchanting in the night. She took a deep breath; allowing the fresh air into her lungs, which expanded as she breathed in. She then released as her lungs relaxed as the bad air was now out of her system.
She looked towards the village once more; but focused her eyes upon a monument that was at the far back. Five faces were carved out of the stone in 3D; which looked very artistic. She tilted her head to the side as she examined the monument closely. Four of the faces were males whilst the last was of a female. She soon averted her gaze to look at the buildings of the village. Each one was of different shapes and sizes; however; the entire village was within a circle as a very large wall surrounded the entire village. A double gigantic gate; coloured green with a symbol on each one. The gates were closed off; not allowing people or creatures from the outside, access to the inside. The gigantic wall was obviously the border of the village; telling all, without words, that the village was within.
She took another listen around the area; hoping to find that no one was about, trying to attack her. No sound emitted from around her; or any of a distance, once she knew it was safe enough; she got down onto her stomach; with her front paws stretched out in front of her. She rested her head on her out stretched front legs; she soon closed her eyes so sleep could engulf her. However; since she was always a light sleeper, she could never be engulfed into sleep totally. The moonlight shone upon her snow coloured fur; making it glitter in its embrace. Her breathing was steady as she was now dreaming of things to come in the future.
