I'm updating something! YAY!

Train: It's about time! Lazy ass!

What are you doing here?

Train: I got bored….

Get out!

Train: Why?

Because you are mean!

Train: Me? You're the one who won't let me stay and have a little fun…..

Great….now he's making me feel guilty. I don't own anything. Not Kisame, not Pein. No Naruto. Don't own it. I don't even own Train…

Train: Just get on with it!

Moonlight

Chapter 9: Spring Suspension Part 2

-No Recap-

"Me? Are you still blaming me for that stupid necklace? You said so yourself that it wasn't really important!"

"That was because…because I have a very short attention span! You know that! You distracted me on purpose!" The two yowled each other. Seriously they sounded like totally-pissed-off felines. I hate cats. The feelings are mutual though. Even the Riscoke or whatever have tried to tear my throat out on numerous occasions.

"Hey Pansy! What the f*ck is going on?" the Jashinist asked, sitting beside me on the aged oak table.

"Hey Religious Bastard. Mum and Da are fighting again," I told him, turning my attention back to the (STILL!) bickering pair. Hidan looked too, and an amused 'I'm-a-super-f*cking-hot-murdering-Jashinist' smirk donned his face.

"Who's winning, Dei?"

"Who always wins, idiot?"

"I am f*ckin' not! Ya stupid f*cking Pansy!" I turned back to retort when I was interrupted by an exclamation of, "FINE! Be that way!"

"FINE!" With that the duo turned and marched in opposite directions- Aserha outside and Kisame to their room. 'Kitty-chan':6. Sushi:0. I like that nickname for the Shark-man. Score another point for Kitty.

-Aserha POV-

-Zetsu's Garden-

"Huh…Thank Kami Zetsu isn't here."

"I know what you mean Aserha-chan. If you don't get a few hours alone, you may crack. It has been awhile since you've had a release, after all," my wise Dark Dragon suggested. He was right though. It had been years since I'd been able to take my anger out on the poor, unfortunate people of a village. Even with all the people I killed to get suspended in the first place hadn't been enough. I was still on edge.

"I can't, Draco."

"I was afraid this would happen. You have already gotten attached to the humans. Do you remember the chaos and pain that occurred the last two times you have been open to others?"

"I know. And don't worry, they don't know of my cursed seal, my inner demon, my past, or any of the secrets of the Swift Clan."

"Good. Make sure you don't slip up. The first time you lost your innocence and two of your siblings. The second time you lost your last brother and was betrayed by your first friend. There is no telling what would happen the third time. All of us worry for you, Lady Salene Dragushinal Swift. Be certain they do not find out about your dyed hair, true identity, or Animal ability either. It would mean certain death for us all. Humans, not even 'Sushi," can be trusted, no matter how friendly they seem."

"Thank you, Draco. I needed that. You may return to our homeworld, I need to think."

"My Lady?"

"Yes?"

"Be sure to come visit us in person sometime. There are no other Swifts left to comfort, guide, or train our young. You need to return to ShadowVeil soon."

"Of coarse! I will slip away this weekend and come whenever I have spare time." The dragon looked at me for a long time.

"Do not forget your duties. You must tend to us as well as fulfill your oath to the Akatsuki of this world. You also must be sure to provide the next generation of Swifts. I don't mean to be blunt, but that is how it is. If you don't, Dark Dragons, Golden Dragons, Riscouthe, Mycluseisis, Ash Cobras, Ash Anacondas, Hydras, Sea Tigers, Fire Lions, Shadow Wolves, and Aqua Wolves would become extinct. As a dual-type, both Moonlight and Sunlight creatures are your responsibility. Before I go, I must comment on how ingenious of you it was to fool them into thinking you were a mere Moonlight Swift. They already knew of us Dark Creatures, but the Light ones are too weak to survive the pressures they will face if knowledge of their existence was common knowledge on this world."

"Thank you, Draco. I don't find you being blunt offensive. What you speak is the truth. Your compliment is appreciated. Goodbye, Draco-kun," I whispered in his ear affectionately, watching as he disappeared in a swirl of shadows after one last parting nuzzle. I sighed as I felt the loneliness sink in. Life was cruel. Life was hard. Life was painful. Life was unfair. All this I knew and accepted, but it made me uneasy to think of the consequences of one slip-up. I wanted to mutter to myself about how I wished to be normal, to be open, to be free, but I knew I'd be lying to myself. I couldn't live without my creatures. If I was normal life would be boring. If I wasn't bound by Swift secrecy or my duties, I'd be bound by something else. If I didn't have an inner demon or if I was completely human, I would find something else to blame my actions on. If I didn't have a bad past, I'd be a stupid, spoiled rich-bitch. If I wasn't wallowing in self-pity when there were people who had it ten times worse than me, I'd be a happy-go-lucky girl who believed that there was still good in this f*cked up world. If I hadn't been to the Gates of Hell and back, seeing for myself that there was no such thing as God, I'd be a Christian and wouldn't dare to harm-let alone kill- a person. I have said this before and I will say it again: Life is cruel. And there is nothing I could do to change that. Even if there was, I'm not so sure if I would have the heart to actually give a dam and change it so that the whole world was filled with joyful fools skipping in sunlit meadows and eating their favorite sweets. Yeah, right. Note the sarcasm.

NO OFFENSE TO CHRISTIANS OR OTHER PEOPLE WHO BELIVE IN GOD! THIS IS HUST THE WAY ASERHA IS! SHE HAS HER REASONS! NO OFFENSE INTENDED! THAT IS HER VIEW OF THE WORLD!

Train: *laughing* You just lost all of your readers who are Christian or just anyone who believes in God!

SHUT UP!

Train: Question: What's with her being so downright depressing?

You'll have to find out.

Train: Whatev.

Review! Please?
