Under the full moon's light, a short conversation happened between Sasuke and Akua. At that moment they were observing a group of werewolves from afar.

"Which one is the target?"

"Hasn't come yet."

"Hn."

Tonight was the designated time of their first mission together. The objective was rather simple: to obtain the alpha werewolf's blood. Alpha, it was how werewolves called their leader. It was a title granted to the strongest male of their pack. Of course the requirement to obtain such position wasn't really that simple. Being the strongest in physical mean didn't make a werewolf automatically got the title. An alpha must also have what it takes to become a leader: a good leadership.

No matter how strong an alpha was, if he couldn't gain the trust of his pack, he was nothing.

"He's coming."

Akua's words made Sasuke narrowed his eyes. There was 200 meter distance between him and the werewolves group. For him, the distance wasn't that great. With his full speed, he could cover that distance in a few seconds.

But yet, he didn't see someone was coming.

All he could see was: those werewolves laughed and chatted with each other happily. Since it was an open field, nothing obstructed Sasuke's vision. He saw those werewolves sat in a circle formation around a bonfire, seemingly waited for something- or rather, someone.

That was the next moment when a man suddenly appeared before the group.

"So that's the leader" Sasuke thought while observing his target.

The brown haired man stood approximately 1.9 m tall. Even from far away, one could tell that he has a good shaped body. An aura of authoritativeness emanated from that man, as expected from a leader.

Sasuke glanced at the girl beside him to see her reaction. He wondered if Akua preferred to finish her job in a single, surprise attack from enemy's blind spot. That way, they could finish without even need to fight at all. However, for Sasuke himself, he'd rather fight his enemy head on than waiting a good opportunity to strike.

Akua didn't say anything. Instead of continuing to observe the group of werewolves, the vampire girl stood up. She then casually walked toward the group of werewolves in slow pace. It seemed she was going to approach them without hiding her presence at all. That what Sasuke thought when he noticed the girl's action.

Having no option left for him, Sasuke followed Akua's action. After all, this was his mission too. He didn't want to be left behind by the girl that had already taken a few steps away from him.

As he caught up with Akua, Sasuke then said to her in his usual cold voice, "Hn, I'll take the leader."

Upon hearing Sasuke's words, Akua frowned. She shifted her glance toward the black-haired Uchiha beside her and say, "No, I will."

Without shifting his glance toward her, Sasuke replied her, "You can play with the rest."

"I thought I've already told you to stay away from my mission, Uchiha?"

"This is going to be my solo mission if your mother didn't make you come with me."

Akua closed her eyes for a moment. It seemed as if she was trying to admit her loss there. To be honest, she didn't know as to why that Gyokuro send two of them here. She would rather work alone than receiving help from others.

"Hmph, fine. I'll give you 10 minutes," Akua paused for a moment. She narrowed her eyes and said in disgust, "And keep it in your mind that woman is not my mother."

"Hn, I know." Sasuke said to Akua, making the vampire girl surprised a little bit, "You don't look like her." He gave her a short explanation that seemed able to dispell her confusion about how he knew about it.

As they closed the distance, the werewolves had already noticed them but did nothing. It seemed that the leader had ordered them to do so. That being said, they could do nothing but follow their leader's words. It was that time when the leader suddenly spoke up.

"Well, well, it seems I have two uninvited guests here," the leader looked at Akua and said, "If I'm not mistaken, little missy over here is called 'The Black Devil', Fairy Tale's number one assassin, am I correct?" He paused for a moment without waiting his question to be answered. He tilted his head a little to look at Sasuke and said, "And you must be new there, because I haven't got any information about you yet."

Upon hearing their leader's words, the atmosphere around them changed. It became colder and heavier due to killing intents leaked from the werewolves. After all, it was to be expected. Who would stay silent when two assassins came to their place without any notice before? No one. And that included the werewolves pack in front of Sasuke and Akua.

However, the two Fairy Tale's assassins were not affected the slightest bit. Killing intent was nothing for them who had faced it on daily basis ever since young age like them. A killing intent at this level could do nothing to them.

"Hn, I don't usually tell my name to my target but this time I will," Sasuke said while staring directly at the man before him, "My name is Uchiha Sasuke, but you won't live past this night to tell anyone about it."

Upon hearing Sasuke's arrogant words, the werewolves' leader raised one of his eyebrows, "Really? You think you can kill me? Don't make me laugh, young man. If 'The Black Devil' says that to me, I might take it seriously," He paused for a moment to add a mocking tone into his voice, "But you? I don't even think you can last more than five minutes in a one-on-one fight with me."

He knew his words would provoke the boy before him. That was why after he said that, a sudden transformation immediately took place on his body. His already muscular body, grew larger and larger. Greyish silver-colored fur covered the alpha's entire body as his body transformed. His clothe was ripped off and his face had became that of a wolf.

After the transformation finished, the leader bared his sharp teeth toward Sasuke. An additional growl came out from his mouth as if trying to scare boy off.

If Sasuke were normal person, he would have already run away after seeing that. However, Sasuke wasn't afraid; not even a slightest bit. He had too many battle experiences to be scared off by something trivial like a body transformation that happened in front of him. As his fight would start soon, Sasuke readied his stance. He took a step forward and it was all that was needed to confirm that their fight had already begun.

Meanwhile, Akua faced the other werewolves. There were a dozen of them and like their leader, all of them had transformed into their true form.

"DIE!" Shouted one of the werewolves with brown-colored fur. The moment when he yelled that single word, the werewolf leaped forward in a high-speed. He was either too brave or too stupid to do that. However, as soon as he did that, the other werewolves followed him. They too, began their moves to attack the intruder known as Akua Shuzen.

Having transformed under the full moon granted the werewolves the speed of S-rank monster. Even if their current level were just A-rank before, they could easily reached that level if the certain condition met.

The one that attacked Akua didn't attack her alone. He did that together with the other werewolves. By doing that, his chance to successly finish her off become greater. It was natural that werewolves always worked together to kill their target. If he were to fight her alone, he was sure he wouldn't have any chance of winning. However, with a dozen comrades, things would proceed differently.

That was what he thought when he made his decision to make the first move. However, that was not a good idea for him. At least, if he took another route, for example: run away, he might have live longer.

Akua didn't say a word. She merely waved her left hand in a bored manner. As soon as she did that, an invisible blade slashed the werewolf's chest area. Fresh blood immediately gushed out from his wound as his body fell onto the ground. As he didn't move, it was unknown if he was still alive or not.

It was Akua's precious technique which she had mastered almost to the same level of the creator of the technique himself. The technique itself was called Hougetsu Jigen-tou, or well known as dimensional sword. It was a technique that was said to be able to cut through anything. Normally, the wielder of this attack must use it in short distance. However, as Akua had showed in her attack just now, she had been able to do it from a distance.

"If you value your life, stay away from this battle." Akua said with an emotionless tone while looking at Sasuke and the alpha wolf's direction. She then shifted her glance toward the pack of werewolves before her and say, "We only have business with your leader, after we've done with him you just need to vote for a new leader."

Although Akua was someone who possessed enough power to end this fight in an instant, she gave them a chance to change their mind. However, that wasn't due to her kindness. She wasn't a kind girl who hated to kill others. It was the opposite. She told them that because she was focused with her mission. In her mind, she only wanted to end this mission in a quick and efficient way to get good result. Anything other than the mission, such as the lifes of those werewolves, was not of her concern.

To put it simpler, if killing them wasn't listed in her mission objective, she wouldn't do it unless necessary.

However, the werewolves didn't see it from the same perspective as her. Their alpha, the leader of their pack, was being targeted by not only one, but two assassins. What kind of subordinates they were if they didn't give them all and fight for their leader? The words of this vampire girl angered them. It felt even more than the fact that she just wounded one of their comrades and put him into such motionless state.

The next moment, several growls the werewolves entered Akua's ears. It was all she needed to confirm their decision. They didn't want to stay away and will continue to fight for their leader's life.

Akua let out a sigh and said, "I've given you a chance to live longer before," She narrowed her eyes and continued, "Come, I'll end this in no time."

Sasuke and the alpha were fighting in a speed no normal human could follow. As they fought, they had moved a little bit farther from the place where Akua and the rest of the werewolves were in.

As the alpha swung his claw to Sasuke, he said to him, "You're better than my expectation."

"Hn," Sasuke blocked the attack with his left hand. He then smirked at his opponent and said, "You have seen nothing." As he said that, a ball of lighting appeared on Sasuke's right hand. With the sound of a thousand birds' chirp, he thrusted it forward.

The alpha had never seen something like that. What kind of monster this boy is? He thought. The black haired boy before him didn't change into a monster form but yet, he could follow his speed. Not to mention, the boy had just created a lightning ball out of nothing!

"Nice trick," The alpha said as he jumped backward to make a distance between him and Sasuke. He didn't know what that ball of lightning was, but he could feel a danger from it. It was the reason as to why he chose to avoid the unknown attack from the boy. "But if you think you can defeat me with such a trick, you're wrong. I haven't even used 50% of my power in our fight just now."

"Good," Sasuke replied with a smile on hearing his words. He then gave the wolf before him a short sentence, "because I haven't used half of my power, too."

"You have a good sense of humor, boy. You're able to make me laugh, how about I give you a present?" He said with an animalistic grin on his face, "How about this, I'll tell you my name so you know who is the one who send you to the deepest part of the hell?"

Sasuke paid no attention to his words. He created a lightning katana on his hand and readied his stance once more. "I don't need a dead man's name."

As he said that, Sasuke kicked off the ground and bolted toward him with a godlike-speed. He swung his sword diagonally at his opponent's chest. If that attack hit, it would be a great advantage for Sasuke, however, it didn't.

Sasuke's lightning katana hit nothing. The reason was because the alpha had disappeared from Sasuke sight in less than a second time. It was the time when a voice came from behind him. It was the voice of his opponent which alerted the black-haired Uchiha, "I'm not an alpha for nothing, you know?"

A swipe from the werewolf to his back made Sasuke widened his eyes. However, the attack just now ended up just like his sword's attack just now. It hit nothing but air.

"You think you're the only one who can do that?" Sasuke said from a distance.

"Seems like you're not bluffing back then." The alpha said before continuing, "To think you can leave an afterimage behind was beyond my first expectation of you. However..." His voiced trailed off as his glance grew sharper, "I'm tired of this, and that vampire girl is fighting with my pack, I can't let them die for nothing."

After he said that, he looked up into the full moon in the sky. The alpha inhaled a good amount of air that his chest puffed twice as large as before. The next instant, a long howl came from his mouth.

After did that, he said to Sasuke, "You didn't seem to know what that was for. Don't worry, I'll tell you." He paused for a moment before giving Sasuke an explanation, "The howl you heard just now was a technique which double the battle ability of all werewolves who hear it. I'm sure you know that our strength were already doubled under the full moon, and with this, we are invincible."

He didn't say any more words to Sasuke. The leader had already disappeared from his position and stood before the stunned Sasuke with a raised claw. It was so fast he couldn't see him move at all!

Sasuke jumped backward to avoid the attack but his opponent was faster. With a swift motion of the alpha's arm, five claw marks gashed Sasuke's chest. It was not too deep but enough to draw blood from the Uchiha.

"This is bad." Sasuke thought and immediately activated his doujutsu's special technique which he hadn't use for quite a while now. He couldn't let his opponent to make another move. He might regret it later if he didn't do anything now.

A surge of purple chakra surrounded Sasuke's entire body. Together with the activation of Susanoo, a gigantic, humanoid skeletal figure appeared above Sasuke. He then looked at the surprised werewolf before him and said, "I've had enough of this, let's end this."

"Hmph, for the first time I must say I'm agree with you," The alpha disappeared again from his sight. The only thing that made his presence known was a single word from him that reverberated through the air, "DIE!"

The next instant, the result of the battle was concluded.

The alpha's clawed hand being thrusted into Sasuke chest. However, Sasuke didn't receive any damage from it. It was fortunate that the werewolves clan only excel in speed, not power. If the alpha had overwhelming power, he might be able to penetrate Susanoo's defense. Too bad he had no such thing to do that.

On the other hand, a demonic sword of Susanoo had been introduced to his stomach. It was the next instant when Sasuke decided to deal a finishing blow. He really had enough of this. He made his lightning katana reappear and kill the werewolf before him.

Although he had won this fight, Sasuke felt a bit disheartened. He was proud of his speed. However, that alpha wolf had surpassed his expectation. Even with his mangekyou sharingan activated, which made everything around him went slower, he couldn't see his movement at all. It was an impossible thing to think of before.

He was the winner of the fight but he also lost there. One thought appeared on his mind. He had to train more after they went back from this mission. Who must prepare himself in case that there were stronger monsters out there. The battle just now opened his eyes that no matter how good someone, there will be somebody that was better.

"So you're also holding back when we fought back then," A voice entered Sasuke's hearing. It was Akua's. It seemed the vampire had also finished her fight with the rest of the werewolves and she saw Sasuke used a technique he didn't use on their fight.

"Hn," Sasuke replied with his trademark word, "Let's go back already."

Just like that, the two of them headed off to Fairy Tale's headquarter after collecting the alpha's blood. After all, that was the only thing they need to gain to complete the mission. It was a necessary thing to have in order to awaken the Alucard, as the magic book said. That being said, they were a step closer to awaken the sleeping monster from its sealed form.
