Chapter 6: Evil Hunting Innocence.
In the woods outside Konoha, six werewolves were standing in a clearing waiting. The moonlight was shining on them showing them in their transformed selves. One werewolf in particular was getting very antsy. "For fuck sake Gaara! Why do we have to meet them?!"
"Because I said so Neji, do you really want to test me?" Said a red furred werewolf. The young grey werewolf backed down in fear, but it didn't mean that he wasn't all for the meeting.
One lazy werewolf with a spiky tail, chimed his opinion in, "look Neji, I know this meeting is a drag, but whatever Gaara wants to do we have to abide by his rules."
A dark brown werewolf who sighed in boredom spoke next, "why did it have to be on the night of a full moon though? This is the fun night."
A blonde furred wolf gave her little sister a smack, "don't complain Tenten, the meeting won't last long."
"I hope not, I'm starving!" Said the chunky werewolf know as Chouji.
On the other side of the clearing, three silhouettes were seen coming through the trees. When they entered the moonlight they were fully visible as the trio the werewolves were waiting for.
Naruto and Hinata were walking together holding hands, their pale skin reflecting the moonlight off them. Hanabi was walking behind them and started to jump extremely high to catch bats flying above them. Just because she was fourteen didn't mean that she couldn't have fun. When they reached the halfway point Naruto called to Gaara, "shall we come to you or stay here?"
"You may come to us Naruto." Said Gaara with his usual calm tone. When Gaara said that Neji tensed up, he managed to get in a combat stance and charge in instinct.
"Neji no!" Shouted Ino. Within seconds Neji was within striking distance of the trio. All Naruto did was counter his aggressors attack and get out of the way. Neji was pissed that he missed but he noticed that Hanabi wasn't paying attention to him. He saw this as an opportunity and charged at her. Now at this moment the rest of the pack were charging in to stop him but they weren't going to make it.
Hanabi turned around when she smelled something strange. She saw Neji barreling toward her and did the only thing she could think of, which was panic. The pack had lost hope in catching Neji because he got a good head start but luckily there were two others that could stop him.
Naruto swooped in out of nowhere and got Neji by the neck, meanwhile Hinata came in and got him by the torso. In unison they pinned him to the ground. He struggled against being held down, even when Gaara came over to him. Naruto verbalized a threat towards Neji, but shockingly enough the only one who could calm him down was Hanabi.
Hanabi moved closer to Neji, he told her that he'd tear her apart if she came closer. But she moved closer and proceeded to scratch behind his ears. The moment she began scratching his ears he became calm, his temper vanished and his muscles relaxed. He had became as tamed as your average dog. Hinata and Naruto realized that they could let Neji go and got off him.
Neji just lied on the ground for a little while even after Hanabi stopped scratching. Soon Neji received a strong punch on the head from Tenten. Now the age gap between Ino and Tenten was three years, Ino was eighteen, and Tenten was fifteen. "Tenten, what the hell was that for?"
"You traitor! We've been together for a year and now you're choosing someone else as your mate?!" Tenten screamed in her rage. Ino and Tenten were sisters, Ino is the oldest at the age of eighteen and Tenten is fifteen. Neji desperately tried to explain that it wasn't like that.
"You have it all wrong miss, I was trying to calm him down and it worked." Said Hanabi. She was the only one who could convince Tenten. Neji still cowered from Tenten and he had good reason, she may have been short and looked really young but she had a bit of a temper.
Gaara gave a loud growl at Neji, which made him cower even more. "You stupid little shit! Don't you ever listen to orders?!"
"Gaara, let's try to be calm here. Remember the last time you lost your temper you gave Chouji that scar on his face." Said Ino.
Hinata at this moment went up to Neji and forced open his jaw, she grabbed his tongue and said, "go after my little sister again and I'll rip your tongue out and shove it up your ass! Got me?!" This made Naruto cringe because he's never seen Hinata mad, normally she's very quiet but I guess her only relative being in danger put her over the edge. Neji proceeded to shake his head to show his understanding.
Once everything was settled they began the meeting. It was to discuss removing territory lines in Konoha. "The boundaries will be taken down as long as no villager has been harmed. Also Naruto since your eyes are more obvious than theirs are, you'll have to come in the village after dark. I know it's harsh but it's to reduce the risk of being caught."
A few days later Naruto was enjoying a swim while the weather still allowed it, it was mid fall and there was a festival coming up shortly that they all wanted to attend. Hinata and Hanabi were still sleeping and the sun was just coming over the horizon, Naruto enjoyed a cold swim in the morning it helped him get the day started. While swimming in the cold water he smelled something different that made him curious, but he brushed it off and got ready to hunt for breakfast for the three of them.
Hinata and Hanabi were just waking up when Naruto came in the front yard holding two deer. The deer were still alive and held by the antlers, "come eat girls!" He called which they got up to do so. Hanabi took one deer while Naruto and Hinata shared the other, while it was satisfying they still were hungry so Hinata cooked the deer along with some of the bear that they had left.
They heard a knock at the door, it was Neji and he looked pissed. "What are you doing here Neji?"
"Do you wanna explain to me why there is a dead human in the woods nearby?!"
Naruto was confused because he didn't even know about that. "Neji seriously, I don't know about a human being dead in the woods, I haven't fed off a human since I turned, Hanabi hasn't had human blood, and Hinata hasn't had human blood since she drank mine. We've been feeding off of animals the last few months."
Just as Neji was about to strike him, he was stopped by Tenten. "Neji!" Just that little scold made Neji quiver in fear. "I told you not to go near them because they didn't do it! I didn't smell them anywhere near the body so I know they didn't do it!"
Naruto tried not to laugh as best he could but a few snickers came up. Neji tried to growl but got smacked by Tenten. Hinata invited them in for breakfast and served them plates of bear and venison. There was just a little blood left in the meat which was how they liked it, but Neji didn't want to eat the food.
"Neji-san you should eat before I scratch behind your ears!" Hanabi teased which Naruto and Tenten started to roll with laughter. Neji couldn't help but blush and started to eat the food.
"Tenten please explain about this body you found." Said Hinata. Naruto and Hanabi were curious so they both looked in unison at Tenten.
"We found him just as sunrise came and he had fang marks on his neck." She said.
Naruto thought about what she had just said and added in, "that's about the time I was taking a swim, I smelled something in the air that seemed odd."
"Well it's not something that we've smelled before so I bet we need to be really cautious for our sakes and the villagers, also I've got a bad feeling about something. I don't know what it is but its strong." Said Tenten.
Two days later the festival was starting at sunset. The trio of vampires walked to the village all excited about how many games they were going to try. Naruto was hungry so he wanted to stop and get some food, they had to also keep a close eye on Hanabi due to the fact that she hasn't been around humans since before she turned.
The village came into sight and the smell of fresh blood was in the air and if Naruto and Hinata hadn't been aware of this they would've lost Hanabi because she bolted. They caught her just in time before she got too far away. Hinata came prepared with a vial of deer blood. Naruto forced her jaw open while Hinata poured the blood in her mouth.
The results happened immediately which was what they wanted. They waited for her primal mode to go away before they continued towards the village. While in the village they went around to the different booths and played the games that you'd usually expect to find, the one Naruto had trouble with was the one where you had to catch the fish with the little paper net.
A few hours later they joined the village in a dance for the festival. Hanabi kept stealing Naruto from Hinata which caused a partner battle between the two. It took a few minutes to calm them down but Naruto managed to do so. Then he smelled something.
He pulled the two sisters away from the crowd and they hopped on a roof. "What is it Naruto?" Asked Hinata.
"That smell, it was what I smelled this morning."
"What could it be?" Asked Hanabi, soon her question was answered.
"It's trouble." Said Hinata as she peered toward another rooftop to see a black smokey shadow with glowing red eyes. He was looking down at the size of the crowd obviously thinking something sinister. Soon he turned his attention to the young trio and gave a evil grin that sent up their spines.
Naruto couldn't help but feel that he's met this figure before, it's almost as if he kinda knew him. The smokey figure out of nowhere just vanished, which startled the hell out of Naruto because he's focused now on protecting his new family.
"What's the matter boy?" Said a deep dark voice. "Too scared about what may happen to your precious girlfriend?" The voice was coming from directly behind them but they were all frozen in fear. Soon a set of hands grabbed Naruto and Hinata and threw them backwards off the roof into the alley. Hanabi was now being held by the neck by the smokey figure.
"Who are you?! What do you want from us?!" Naruto shouted.
The figure let out a maniacal laugh and said, "you honestly don't remember last month? You sucked me dry boy!"
Naruto's eyes widened the same time Hinata's did, they knew who it was. And with one swipe of his hand over his face, the smoke cleared to reveal Hiashi Hyūga as a vampire.
A/N: weren't expecting that were you?! This adds a nice twist to things!
