7. Denied

*Haku's POV*

As we watched these bandits settle down for the day, I felt something that I haven't felt in a long time... No, it's more like the first time I've felt like this. Anger. Hatred. Disgust... And excitement.

I could feel my fangs lengthening and glanced over to Naruto. He nodded at me and telepathically spoke-

'Go on. I know you want to shred these meatbags apart.' I nod my head and let myself sink into the shadows, but I had a slither of fear lurking at the back of my head.

'You'll be fine. You're a strong woman.' Naruto spoke in my mind again, soothing that fear away.

'Thank you, Naruto-kun.' I then focused back on these pathetic men.

*SLASH* "ARGH!"

"Huh?!" One of the men jumped up.

*Gurgle* I had slit another man's throat open and I wasn't going to stop any time soon! One after another, they fell down as flies. I savoured the feeling of their blood on my hands and their bodies lying there, completely lifeless.

"What the f*ck ?!" A bald man yelled, swinging his sword wildly.

In his crazed state, he was about to cut down one of the tied up women. I was going to stop him, but he froze and his upper half slid off, falling to the ground, dead. I looked at who did it and it was Naruto, glaring at the now dead man.

"I despised men who harm women. Purposely or unintentionally." He growled, making my heart flutter.

I then focused back onto the last remaining men. 7... Seven more to put down permanently. Leaving Naruto where he was, I continued my onslaught on these low-lives. But when I had finished them off, their leader wasn't anyway to be seen.

"He's 15 metres to your right." Naruto spoke up.

"How can you tell?" I asked.

"Imagine having a third eye in the middle of your forehead. Use it!"

*Third POV*

Haku's eyes pulsed red and her vision sped through the trees and easily found the running man. She slipped into the shadows and easily cut him down as well, not feeling an ounce of regret for killing these pitiful creatures.

Returning into her shadows, she reformed by her lover, as he was reassuring the women they save, that he was helping them return home. Many were crying tears of joy at this and thanked the two vampires many times.

"Haku, I think we should escort these lovely ladies back to their village."

"Yes. I think it's more safe for them, if we took them back to their homes." The brunette agreed.

'She'd looked absolutely stunning in her blood-lust.' A certain blonde teen thought.

So, the group, consisting of 11 women and two vampires, picked up the things that were stolen and began their travel to the small village that these women were taken from. Some having idle chatter, as others were still getting over the shock of their unpleasant experience. While the Konoha pair, kept their senses sharp for any unwanted guests.

-3 Days Later-

It had taken the travelling group 3 days for them to return to the village that these ladies were kidnapped from. The friends and family were grateful for the two passing nins for helping their loved ones, even though it wasn't really their business. So most of the villagers asked for them to stay for the night, as a thanks and some gifts for them.

But they politely declined and had to keep moving, as they were on a mission. The leader of the small village thanked them once more, before the pair continued their way to Kiri. When they were far away from the small establishment, Naruto pulled Haku in a searing hot kiss, which at first had surprised her, but she returned it with the same amount of vigor.

When they pulled apart, the brunette spoke- "What was that for?"

"For a wonderful display of bloodshed, my Dear." He smirked in response.

She giggled for a moment and gave the blonde vampire a sly smirk. "Any time, my King."

Haku walked away from his strong arms, with a slight sway in her hips. Making Naruto's dead heart flutter for a moment. Shaking out of his thoughts, we easily caught up with the hyōton user and scooped her up. Earning a squeal of delight and both of them happily laughed, enjoying their happy moment before they were going into a bloody fight.

-4 Days Later-

"We should be close to Kiri now, but we have to be careful of the Loyalists." Haku explained, as she felt tense.

"I'll be fine, Love." Gently taking a hold of Haku's smaller hand and gave it a light squeeze.

Vaguely seeing her body relax through the light mist that was currently surrounding them. Naruto knew, that she was feeling uneasy, as her last memory of this place was on a good one, as they had shared their memories, through their blood. But were too caught up in the moment of love to even think about it. That, or she hasn't seen his memories yet.

"Who's there?! Show yourselves!"

"Are you with the Rebellion?" Naruto countered back with another question.

"And what if we are?" The same voice replied.

"Because Konoha sent us to as them."

A figure approached them cautiously- "Two kids? They must be joking!"

"Two monsters with a new bloodline that could easily destroy a nation." The blonde shot back, feeling irritated now.

"Hmph! Fine then... Follow me." He gestured to the younger shinobi to follow them.

Completely aware that there were more of them, watching from a distance. In silence, the two creatures of the night, followed the man to the secret base camp of the Rebellions. When they had entered the camp, all eyes were watching the pair, wary of their presence and ready to fight at a moments notice.

-Main Tent-

"Mei-sama. The 'reinforcements' are here."

"Come in!" A melodic voice call out.

So the three of them entered the large tent and were greeted by a red head, a man with an eye-patch over his right eye, an older teen and some other nins that were there. However the first three people stood out from the rest of them. The woman straightened up, taking in the sight of only two people and ended frowning.

"That's all?"

"Yes. 'That's all'." Naruto's eyebrows furrowed. "My name's Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze and this is my wife, Haku Uzumaki-Namikaze. Pleasure to meet you."

"Mei Terumi. Are you by chance related to 'the Yellow Flash'?"

"Minato Namikaze, my father. While my mother was Kushina Uzumaki."

"The 'Red Death'?" A curt nod was given.

"And what rank are you?"

"Currently genin, but my bloodline recently activated, so I don't know what I am now." He nonchalantly shrugged.

Another frown. "And you?"

"I've never been a registered shinobi, as of lately, I've been stated as a genin also. Before, I was an apprentice of Zabuza Momochi."

"'Demon of the Mist'? One of the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist?"

"Yes." The brunette unsealed the Kubikiribōchō from her left wrist and lifting it with ease.

The apparent leader of the Rebellions sat down, crossing one leg over the other. Her scrutinizing stare bored into them, but had no effect. As it didn't really bothered them, because they were monsters with no major feelings of fear, but losing the other and their precious friends.

"Tell me... Why did Konoha only send two kids to war?"

"We are not 'kids'. The two of us are monsters!" Naruto gave her a fanged grin.

Mei sighed in irritation, rubbing her temples and narrowed her eyes onto to them.

"Send us out and we'll show you."

"I am not sending to green-horns out to their deaths!" She yelled.

"Tch... If you don't want us to help you. Then say so!" Naruto growled.

"Naruto-kun!" Haku scowled him.
