Sasuke is supposed to hunt down the Vampire Princess, but little does he know that she's in the same room as he. Hinata, fearing that her vampire brethren will protect her and kill Sasuke, gets a rude awakening when she learns that her brethren are trying to kill her! What now?

NOTE!!! Oh P.S The ANBU has means something different in NARUTO than it does in this story.

Chapter 4: Train Ticket to Nowhere

"You ordered us to come?" creatures appeared in front to King Hyuuga.

"Yes, Crawlers," King Hyuuga said walking to the leader of the creatures; he leaned down to look at him, "Hinata Hyuuga the Mortal. My men are after her, but I want you for safety, in case they cave in. In case they can't kill her. Oh, I realized, that we should just kill her. But if she improved in fighting, then follow her. I want an update on her improvements. Also, I want most, if not all Vampire Hunters…DEAD!"

"Will do sire!" The leader and his men bowed and disappeared.

After Sasuke had his encounter with Kaiba, he immediatly told head quarters about it. He also told them about Hinata and the vampires hunting her down.

Kakashi and all the other Vampire Hunter elders had a meeting with the Hokage, to talk about what Sasuke should do next.

Sasuke was currently waiting for a reply. Its been nearly two weeks! But Sasuke is not complaining, about the long wait. Its been a quiet two weeks, he has been teaching Hinata how to fight, but she hasn't been able to kill any vampires yet.

Maybe because she doesn't want to, or they're still too strong, she was really good at moving quickly and throwing knives. Sasuke didn't see the problem, was she scared? What ever it was, Sasuke didn't know yet.

But what he did know was that when ever he was with her, he always had this rush. Sasuke thought, 'I have this feeling to,do something for her. I don't know, get stronger or something!'

But that feeling also gave him pleasure and happiness, even though he didn't show it. It did, and, he also learned about her, but not much. She told him that she couldn't remember much before he saved her, the day they met. Sasuke figured she probably was attacked by a vampire and lost her memory. He also learned her favorite colors like blue and white, and she hates red.

Sasuke leaned against his chair, rocking back and forth; he also learned a lot about this Vampire Princess too. He got bits and pieces together but he figured that they live somewhere to blend in. He also learned that there's something amiss with the Princess of Vampires. She's going through something a strong or drastic change, or was it that she was silently training to rule? Sasuke didn't know. But he did know where—

"Sasuke," Kakashi's face appeared on the computer screen.

"What?"

Kakashi chuckled at Sasuke's rude reply, but his face immediately became serious, "We've decided to keep Hinata with us. Maybe we can figure out what she knows, or what she has to do with the attacks."

Sasuke paused to let that register in his head, but he had Hinata, he could do just as much as they could, possibly, "W-what? She…stays…with…head quarters?"

"Yes, is there a problem with that?"

Sasuke knew better than to tell his opinion especially when the final decision was already made with the Hokage and the leaders. Sasuke reluctantly shook his head, "None."

"Good," Kakashi chuckled once more, "Bring her to head quarters, now. Hokage wants to see her immediately."

"Fine, but does the Hokage know that I'll be there in 2-3 days on foot or horse."

"Yes, that's why we have transportation for you, we ordered train tickets. You're expected to be here less than a day. So leave now, that is all." Kakashi's screen clicked off.

Sasuke growled to himself, he was pissed; he just met her and has been training her, now he has to give her away. What does she look like a rag doll, being tossed around!

Sasuke forced himself out of his chair and walked into his room, "Hinata!" She stood quickly and looked at him.

Sasuke noticed how fast she stood, and he wanted to question her about it, but he decided that it wasn't important, "You have to meet the other Vampire Hunters, tonight."

Hinata's heart stopped, all blood froze, she stared to sweat, "T-The o-other V-vampire h-hun-nters?" she stuttered. As a vampire, to walk into a bunch vampire hunters or in their main hide out, was either desperate or die or desperate for attention. But, it works vice versa sometimes for a hunter in vampire territory. "W-Why?"

Sasuke let out a light sigh; she was so shy, so nervous. Guess she's scared of meeting them, he thought. "I'll explain while we are on the train."

TRAIN

Sasuke and Hinata walked to the train door and handed the conductor their tickets. "The seat all the way at the end, to the left," the conductor told Hinata and Sasuke.

The conductor looked at the last person on line. It was a a male with three young girls next to him no older then 12 and not any younger than 8, "Okay," he ripped off the top of the tickets, and pointed to Hinata and Sasuke , "Your seat is behind the young couple."

"Thank you," the three girls said sweetly and held onto the older male, who laughed. Their eyes gleamed.

"Such nice people," the conductor said as he headed to the inside of the train to close the door. "What?" He couldn't move, he looked down and his bottom half was turning into stone.

"I—I can't move!" The conductor moved forward, he nearly fell forward onto the tracks, so he leaded back to catch his balance.

The train was starting to move.

He was rocking forward, onto the tracks, and backwards, on the pavement. His legs, knees, hips, stomach, became hard, solid, and turning into stone. He couldn't feel them anymore. His neck became as hard as a rock. The conductor tipped forward, towards the tracks.

The train sped off.

INSIDE--the Train

BU-BUMP, the train bounced up and down. "What was that," a few passengers complained.

"Crr," the intercom crackled from the static, "I'm sorry passengers, it seems as if we went over a large rock or something. But the train is alright and everyone is safe, so there is no need to panic, Thank you for your coperation."

Hinata leaned against the window and looked out the window. Suddenly, pieces of stone caught her eye. She saw pieces of the "rock" on the pavement.

She focused harder, and saw an eye! It was looking at her, the eye held fear, and tears were forming. Before even shed a tear, the eye turned to stone and broke apart. Hinata gasped and covered her mouth, turning away.

"What, are you alright," Sasuke asked her.

Hinata's bottom lip quivered, she bit her lip and regained her compsure. She gulped hard and said, "Yes, I thought I saw...something. Don't worry; I'm fine, thank you for asking."

Sasuke nodded. He put his head back and rested his head on the headrest, and closed his eyes. Sasuke felt something behind him, like eyes watching him.

He turned to his right, and looked down the aisle, no one. He looked at the seat behind him and no one was there, either. But he did feel the presence of someone, but no one was there!

He turned around and leaned his head against the headrest again. He felt Hinata's aura to his left, she was probably looking out the window. Sasuke felt no one walking through the aisle to his right, everyone was sitting or sleeping, and " no one " was behind him.

Sasuke suddenly felt his neck tingle; he felt a cold breath against his neck. The hairs on his neck stood and his blood began to race. Out of reaction to stop the feeling Sasuke spun the slammed his elbow against the chair, thinking someone was there.

Doing that, Sasuke shocked Hinata and the other passengers. He looked behind him again and there was a man and three children looking at Sasuke with horrified looks on their faces.

"I-If my children bothered you then tell me, but, please, don't scared them," the father said holding onto his children.

"Sorry," Sasuke grumbled and turned back around and put his head in his hands, "When did they get there? They weren't there before, but that was the presence I felt! Maybe I'm tired." He grumbled to himself.

Hinata stood quickly and tried to bet past Sasuke, "Excuse me." She asked politely so he could move.

"Where are you going?"

"Uh...bathroom," she said hoping he'd just let her pass by.

"Fine, we have to hurry back." He moved

Hinata walked past Sasuke and past the family behind him.

"Wait, Miss," one of the girls behind Sasuke asked, "My sister and I need to go to the bathroom too, can you take us?"

"N-no I really can't," Hinata said, but paused when she was getting stared at by people. How-could-you-reject-little-children was the look they gave her.

"O-okay, just hurry back," Hinata felt guilty and she walked off with the two girls following behind.

Sasuke knew something was wrong, he stood and started to follow Hinata, but the father grabbed Sasuke's coat sleeve, "Let women get their business done, alone."

Sasuke saw through this man and his daughter, "What are you?"

"Aren't you supposedly the best of your kind? You should know, or have I overestimated?"

Sasuke couldn't pull his sleeve from this man, "Get off."

Sasuke just noticed the third daughter wasn't next to the father anymore. He felt her presence behind him. Sasuke pulled out his gun and at the third daughter.

BANG! BANG!! BANG!!

He missed her. People screamed, ran around, trying to get out, some hid. "MURDER!!!" Some screamed, others called him fowl names or criminal, killer, anything that could bring attention to him, and get help.

"Don't look away from your opponent," the man said, and upper-cut Sasuke so hard that he flew upwards and through the train's ceiling and landed on top of the train.

BAM! Sasuke's back landed on the train which bruised it and some of the bruises were bleeding. Sasuke lifted his head to look at where he was. The top of the train, the sun was shinning in his face, shining off of the silver train.

"Who—the hell are you?" Sasuke's tried to get up, but his back hurt. But, it wasn't anything new to Sasuke, so Sasuke forced him self to sit up, on his knees.

The man landed in front of Sasuke with the third daughter was behind him, "I am Lucas and this is Thalia."

Sasuke looked at them; they were different from most vampires. They looked like people, even in their hunting faces. Usually vampires' faces contorted into this demon-like faces, but they looked normal.

Thalia's entire body morphed and she looked completely different. She has curly brown hair, pink eyes, and full lips for her heart shaped face. She suddenly got taller and thinner, Thalia looke more like a 20 year old, then what she looked like before-12 years old.

Lucas also went through a change, his hair turned from white to black and became longer. Muscles started to show, and his hands, legs, and fingers became longer, His nailes became sharper. His eyes were yellow, like a bats.

Lucas hunched over and Sasuke heard cracking noises, suddenly large bat wings, two times bigger than Lucas, sprouted from Lucas' back.

Lucas let out a relieving sigh, "Now, let us" he cracked his back, " explain who we are. We are Crawlers, we have better and stronger abilities than your average Joe, or average vampire."

Thalia laughed, "Joe was our breakfast."

Sasuke forced himself to stand and he pulle out his twin shotguns, "So, you guys are Crawlers. Since I've never experienced a fight with you guys, let's start now?"

"Lets," Lucas said and he flapped his wings and lifted into the air, "GO!!" He nose dived at Sasuke, while Thalia's eyes shinned bright pink, as if she was going to shoot beams at him.

Hinata

Hinata luck wasn't any better than Sasuke's. Right now Hinata was hiding from Rose and Chrysanthemum, in the storage room.

Hinata knew that they were Crawlers; she tried to slip by them, and leave Sasuke, but these two caught her. She felt them following her while she was at Sasuke's house, that's why Sasuke scared her that morning. She knew they were following her.

"Hinata, "she scolded herself, "You should have left sooner!"

Rose, was the vampire who looked older than Chrysanthemum. When Rose morphed, her hair became red and stopped at her chin. She got taller, she looked 14, and her arms had green streaks on them. Where her thorn's would appear there and Rose would throw them at Hinata.

Chrysanthemum, morphed with long blond hair that stopped at her lower back. She stayed the same height, but when she screamed, things would explode.

Somehow Hinata managed to escaped and hid in a crate. In the crate, she thought of how to stop them.

She didn't know much about the Crawlers, but she knew that they were just like the Hyuuga heirs, you can't kill them. They have to kill themselves to die. You can't use a gun, or a cross, or serum, none of that will work. They have to use their powers on each other.

She was going to die. She couldn't kill them. She was a mortal, they had powers.

Hinata tried to level her breathing and burrow herself more into the hay in the crate to shield her sent. She planned how she was going to make them go away and leave her alone.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH," Chrysanthemum screamed. Hinata heard crates explode, getting louder and louder, closer and closer to her. Suddenly, her crate exploded, and Hinata flew backwards into other exploding crates and rain into the back of the metal wall.

"Ohh, I found her Rose," Chrysanthemum cheered clapping her hands. Rose smile, but her face went from happy and giggly to dark and sinister, "Let's slowly kill her, hear her scream."

The thorns from Rose's arms appeared and popped up like spikes, Hinata leaned against a crate, she had wood in her arms and face, she was cut up from the idems in the crate and the wood. Including hay all over her, she knew that, she needed to make up her mind quickly or she would die.

Would she try to stop them or kill them? Or will she escape and hide or accept death?
