Hello, new story for you! I'm getting really over whelmed by all the ideas going around in my head so I decided to put them on as many computer screens as possible. Besides I couldn't focus...which is really annoying. A girl like me needs to focus or I'll lose my mind.

I don't own Naruto.../3

Summary-

River Guards and Clear Nights. They sound almost poetic don't they? The only rhythm that these two names bring are the steady pulses of blood through another victim's veins then--bang...no more rhythm. Neji/Ten Naru/Hina Saku/Sasuke Ino/Kiba fic. Gangs, guns, lemons, swearing, beating, drugs, and rape. M for a reason.

Tenten's POV

All is quiet at school 114. Everyone is in the place they should be. Studying, reading, learning, listening.

It means a friend died the day before and respects are being paid.

This time it was a nobody, but still a loss to be mourned. A sixteen-year-old boy got cocky and was taken down by those fucking Clear Nights. Tiny, or Jirou, will be missed and his name will go on the wall of our lost comrades. He was a good kid, smart and he moved quickly.

I'll kill the bastered that shot him and enjoy it. No one hurts one of mine.

I walked away from campus and headed down to the river that helped, not only, the gang get its name, but mine too. The River Guards and Clear Nights have been battling for territory since before anyone in this generation of gang members was born. It started when the Clears started to expand and wanted to go past the river that separated R.G. Ground and Night Land. We signed a treaty twenty-eight years ago tomorrow that no Clear trash would set foot on our side. But treaties get old and burn as hate becomes fresh and bullet wounds grow deeper---they started all this hate...Now I have to protect my own...just like the leaders did before me.

I walked into the office under the bridge and was greeted by silence and two hardened faces.

"It's time, Riv." said Shadie otherwise known as Ino. She and Diggs, her boyfriend, walked me out side with a spray can in hand to the sound barrier to put him on the wall for life.

"Tiny, now here, now forever, always respected." I put the date and looked at the black writing.

"That's forty-six dead. Forty-six that I've written...and we're running out of wall space. Let's make this the last family we lose." I said still facing the wall "Diggs, heard you had a run-in with a Clear."

"Yeah..." Diggs, or Kiba, is a good guy, I know he's only hear for Shadie but he's loyal friend and a decent shot "Everything was real, peaceful-like."

"Who was it?" I asked looking at the name that was still drying

"A Hyuuga." I gritted my teeth "The girl." I cocked my head to my left indicating that I was listening "Her cousin had sent her to say 'better luck next time, Riv.' then she apologized" he seethed "If you're delivering a message like that--you can't just say 'Sorry'!"

"I know..." and turned around "Where's Roll Out?"

"Ramen stand, where else, Riv?" half smiled Shadie and I did the same

"I'll get him." said Diggs jogging down to go get our funny little friend

"Let's go get some ice cream, Riv. You know that Outtie is gonna convince him to have a bowl or two." I laughed half heartedly and we walked to a small humble ice cream parlor, taking a booth near the emergency exit, just in case. We ordered then sat in silence

"You know...forty-six in five years...it's better than anyone one else managed...Riv, you're keepin' us alive. We didn't have to paint any names at all last month." I huffed a little

"She's right, Little Girl." said the old woman behind the counter "I've been here a very long time and seen tyrants take control and this shop has been robbed more times than I can remember. But not with you." she said smiling at me, it made me uncomfortable

"Yeah..." I slouched in my seat and let my bangs fall in my face

Shadie sighed "Girl, you need to work on your people skills." we paid and walked to the door

"See ya!" my friend called over her shoulder while I said nothing but nodded

We walked about half way back in the growing darkness as the street lights flickered to life. Gun shots echoed through the night air

"Fucking Clears!" I yelled as Shadie and I ran to help

When we got there Diggs and Roll Out were pinned down behind a concrete divider between a mail box and a building. I looked closer and saw High School and Twenty/Twenty behind a car, trying to stay alive.

I pulled two Walther PPK pistols from my knee high boots, Shadie pulled one out from the front of her skirt and we fired. The River Guard motto was the only thing in my head

"Shoot to kill or stand to die." I got one in the chest as a car drove by and fired rounds at us.

"Shadie, down!" we both hit the deck by diving behind a building. I fired and three more rounds and kill one more, clipping another. The car rounded the corner, trying to run us down.

"Shay, go!" I pushed her ahead of me making sure that if one of us is gonna die here--it'll be me. I heard shot from behind us right before the car swerved into a light pole

I ran up to Shadie and crouched behind a dumpster, I reloaded my guns and let Shadie catch her breath

"Free!" I heard Diggs call after us. The word "free" is code for "it's ok"

I kept one gun at the ready and walked slowly around the corner to see an empty car with a blown back tire, four dead bodies on the Clear's side, one injured for both sides. Twenty had been hit in the foot which was a minor injury and the other guy only got a scratch on his arm but was wailing like a newborn. I walked up to him, kicking his gun away and putting mine at his head.

"Hey...Tell Brink 'Better luck next time because that was for Tiny' .Say it was from Riv. Comprende? " I asked with acid in my voice

"Y-Yes, Ma'am." he ran off clutching his arm while I smiled to myself "Get twenty to the hospital." I ordered turning around "Alright everybody, we're long gone guys."

RXR Thanks so much guys!
