Woo. More reviews. I really appreciate them. : ) So uh. A history chappie! Don't you love this stuff?
If you don't, here's a tidbit to show you that history IS cool.
…Dolphins are lucky in New Zealand, just like elephants in India, and pigs in Germany. Weird? Yeah. Okay, now on with the chapter.

I'm drifting through negative space,
A frown on my lack of a face,
Attempting to hear with a tenuous ear
What nobody hears in this place -Paul Prelutsky
It was a boring night at the pack hideout. Boring moments bring awkward moments.
Ino painted her nails.
Sakura had her face in a book titled 'Moons and Stars: The Conflict Between Lycanthropes and Vampires'
Tenten kept watching Ino and saying random things so she would mess up.
Hinata? Where exactly…was she? Nobody knew, nobody noticed either.
"…SCRABBLE!" Tenten screamed.
Ino's finger moved and made a pink line going down her middle finger.
Tenten beamed.
Ino glared but kept going.
"…FIRST-EDITON!" She shouted this time.
Ino was on her thumb, so the paintbrush didn't move off of her finger.
Now Ino painted her toenails.
Tenten went on all fours.
Ino looked at her sardonically. "Are you on crack or something?"
Tenten looked at Ino.
"No. I'm just bored."
"Why does Midori never pick us to hunt?" Sakura said, lifting her head out of the proximity of the book.
"Because she's evil."
Suddenly, a girl with gray hair poked her head into their room.
Her light squeaky voice said, "Lights out in five!"
"Hai Hari."
Tenten POV-
Wow, I almost forgot about Hari, she's Midori-sama's minion. Her follower. Her (excuse me, wherever you are Hinata) bitch.
I laughed to myself.
Ino POV-
Um, Tenten laughed to herself.
…Creepy.
Normal POV-
(scuse me for switching so much)
Ino poked her head at Sakura's book.
"What's it about?"
"The constant struggle on turf wars of the Vampires and Werewolves. Why?"
"Vampires exist?" Ino asked.
"Elementary my dear Ino," Sakura said, waving her hand in the air, as if to say 'I've got a story!'
And so the story began.
"A veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery long time ago there was one vampire and one lycanthrope in the whole world. The vampire was named Haruki. The lycanthrope was named Kaede. They were just there living like normal humans, until Haruki got so hungry he attacked Kaede's mother...and-!"
"Hungry? Shouldn't he eat a sandwich?" Tenten and Ino questioned.
"No. Not like that. You know, with the blood and gore, and all that."
"Anyway, Kaede, being a gentle girl got a wolf to attack Haruki. Haruki died, but being a vampire, got right back up again. Haruki, back with a vengeance, got the trees to attack her."
"Wait. Trees don't attack." Tenten said.
"It's a myth…it may not be true, and it may have been altered. One more question and we'll never finish the story."
"Mmph. Fine."
Sakura coughed. "So the trees attacked Kaede, and Kaede asked the trees, 'Why do you attack your own kind?' and the trees had no answer for her clever question, so she became friends with the trees. Believe me, Haruki was, for lack of a better term, pissed. He commanded the wind to sweep Kaede to a faraway place. The wind tried to sweep Kaede away. But the trees grabbed Kaede's ankles. And the trees asked the wind, 'Why do you attack your own kind?' And the wind stopped. Though the wind was smarter than the trees, it didn't have a smart response for the Tree's question. Word got back to Haruki and he went out to get Kaede himself…"
Apparently Tenten had fallen asleep in the dark.
"Oh well…" Sakura closed the book and looked and the ground.
Tenten's Dream-Haruki sneered. "Damn that girl!" He hit a wall and many articles fell of a shelf in the room.
Suddenly, a boy ran into the room.
"Brother! Help me!" Haruki's brother screamed.
"Loru, I told you not to come down here." Haruki's stern voice said.
"Haruki! They think I'm a vampire!" Loru screamed.
"They? Who are they?" He muttered.
"I dunno, the town!?" Loru shouted.
"If you were smart, you'd be quieter."
"Um, okay."
"Now. Tell me how you think I'm going to help?" Haruki asked.
"I don't know, but I confide in you!"
"…Mm. I see. …You can stay with me if you do something for me." Haruki forced himself to swallow a grin.
A shout came from outside the cellar they were in.
"Get the demon before it kills us all!"
"Anything, aniki."
"Kill the one known as Kaede."
Not knowing who Kaede was, he plastered a determined face on.
"I shall. Now get me out of here!"
"Very well. Go in here. I'll follow you out until I feel I should stop." Haruki lifted up a chest on the ground revealing a trapdoor. Without saying anything, Loru opened the trapdoor and leaped into it.
An "Mmph!" was heard.
"Moron." Haruki muttered and started to climb down.
"I'm fine Haruki." Loru smiled.
Haruki stared at him and started running.
"Wait up!"
"Run faster Loru!"
Loru ran through the tunnel.
Suddenly, Haruki stopped.
"I'm done now. Go do what I told you to!" He shoved a knife in Loru's hands and poofed away with a blast of wind in Loru's face.
Loru stared at the knife. It was covered in stone vines and topaz.
"Ohh, what did I get myself into?" Loru groaned.
He set out to find Kaede. After a while, he had found Kaede sitting on a stump.
Playing with a garter snake, she looked up and said, "What kin of Haruki dare bring himself to me?"
Loru cursed to himself.
"…Show yourself!" Kaede commanded.
Loru fell out of the bushes, pretending to be dead.
"…Oh. Poor soul." Kaede looked at Loru.
She bent down and kissed his lips lightly.
"There. Now all of your biddings and sins are gone." She looked at him again.
"…Ohh… my head." Loru mumbled, then he looked up at Kaede.
"You fell out of the bushes."
"Are you okay?"
"…AAAAAAAAAAAAAH! Ohmigosh, Ten-chan, wake up!" Loru screamed.
"You seriously have to wake, up we can't find her!" Kaede shouted into the air.
…
"Waaaah? I'm tired…" Tenten yawned.
Ino grabbed her by the shoulders.
"Listen to me!" Ino shook Tenten.
"Hinata (shake) is (shake, shake) GONE! (shake, shake, shake, shake)" Ino cried.
"What!?" Tenten snapped out of her sleepiness.
"Yah! She's just, gone like that!" Sakura snapped her finger and was holding her book under her arm.
Tenten sat down. What if Hinata was captured? Or killed, or she fell of a cliff?
"Or, what if the vampires got her?" Tenten moaned.
Sakura got a funny look on her face. "Psh. Vampires? Be serious Ten-chan!" She scolded.
"Right. Well either way, I'm going to find her." Tenten announced.
"What would Midori-sama say?" Ino debated.
Tenten grabbed a backpack. "You'd cover for me." She replied.
"What about hunting, eventually Midori would find out!" Sakura countered.
"…I don't know. But I'm going." Tenten finally said.
"…Ten-chan, I'm going with you." Sakura declared.
"I'll stay here. I'll find a way to keep you guys clear of Midori." Ino said.
"Sakura-chan, there's no reason to go with me," Tenten said.
"Besides that I care for Hinata too?" Sakura said icily.
Silence.
"Fine. We leave tonight." Tenten sighed.
