Emiko Waited Patiently outside and around the corner for the auburn haired man, she didn't know why she thought he would follow, but his eyes were looking at her an a way that made her think he would come.
'But what if he doesn't see me and walks back in or just walks somewhere else?' she thought before mentally slapping herself.
'I see the alcohol is making me stupid, if he's a vamp, he'll know I'm here, I don't need to worry too much' she thought again making sure she understood herself.
'If this dress wasn't so clingy I could have hidden the stake on me somewhere' She muttered to herself looking down towards her shoes.
Then she heard a scuffle from the right. She knew it was him.
"Oh it's the pretty girl from the dance floor, why are you out here, alone?" He asked walking towards her slowly, sporting a mischievous smirk.
"No reason, just calming down" She replied looking at him curiously.
"Let me guess that dude was your boyfriend or something" He assumed.
Emiko didn't like it when people assumed things about her.
"He's the something, I wouldn't go out with him, arrogant son of a bitch" She muttered.
"Yeah he seems like it, so do you wanna come back in there with me?" He said in a flirty way.
"Ummm...No thanks, I think I'll go in, in a minuet" Emiko hesitated on purpose sighing.
"Come on, it'll be fun, I could buy you a drink or two?" He said winking at her.
"No thanks, I've had enough for the night" She said nervously.
"Okay, how 'bout you come dance with me?" He asked shooting a creepy grin in her direction
'Ewwww, he should die for his creepy smiling alone' Emiko thought in disgust.
"I'm thinking about heading home now anyway, maybe some other time" She said trying to sound apologetic.
"Okay, but at least give me your number, so I know when you'll be here again" He asked her half smiling.
'Yeah sure! Not like you'll be able to call me' She spat in her head.
"Oh yeah okay, let me just get my phone and a pen" Emiko spoke.
'This is it, my only chance I need to stab him now' She tried convincing herself.
Emiko looked up and he had looked away 'NOW!' She screamed in her head.
She pulled the stake out swiftly and put as much force behind it as possible. She heard the crack of his rib cage as the stake went through. He fell to the floor groaning in pain which gave her the advantage, for thirty seconds maybe.
She dug to the bottom of her bag and took out the meat cleaver with shaking hands.
'I need more confidence In my self, but luckily today I have adrenaline, so it feels easier' She thought and grabbed the handle of the knife with both hands.
She held it above her head and flung it downwards towards the vampires head, putting all of her weight behind it, hoping it went all the way through she pulled the knife away.
"Oh he's dead" Emiko whispered as his dismembered head rolled to the left slightly.
A small puddle of blood was forming by his neck and suddenly his body began to disintegrate into blue smoke.
Emiko just stared at the smoke. It looked pretty. Like powdered paint before you mix it with water.
"Then again how can something so pretty come from a disgusting creature like him?" She asked herself quietly is disgust.
After the smoke had cleared she picked up the stake that was in the blood puddle and the meat cleaver which was also covered in blood and wrapped them in the piece of cloth that the meat cleaver was wrapped in originally and placed it in her bag.
"Just chill out, calm down and make yourself look okay" She said quietly, patting her hair into place and smoothing down her clothes.
She slung her bag on her shoulder and proceeded for the club. Emiko didn't know if it was atmosphere or the adrenaline but she felt really good and excited.
She walked back into the club and headed for the table where they were all sat before, She wasn't surprised to see nearly everyone sat there, some people drinking still and chatting loudly.
"Oh hey! Welcome back! Where did ya go?" Sakura asked. She was drunk alright.
"I was just clearing my head, and you are very drunk Missy" Emiko said laughing at the faces Sakura was pulling. When Sakura noticed Emiko was laughing and what she was laughing at she started laugh too.
'How could my mother expect me not to make friends, when I'm around them my defensive walls crumble away and I become relaxed and happy, okay, so half of them are vampires, but they don't seem like any I've ever come across before' She was thinking like this for a while until a familiar voice ran through her head.
"Can I talk to you outside?" Sasuke asked
"Y-yeah okay" Emiko stuttered.
'Did I just stutter? I never stutter, what the hell" She shouted in her head.
She followed him outside the club, it was a bit colder now, Emiko had just realised how cold it was, she didn't notice before because she was so full of adrenaline.
"What is it Sasuke, it's kinda cold out here." Emiko asked him wrapping her arms around her ribs.
"I'm sorry, about earlier, it was stupid" He said quietly
"It's fine, shit happens right, and you were drunk" She replied "By the way you can-" Emiko was cut off by Sasuke running in the direction of the ally she was just in.
'Wait, why's he running there? Did he smell me there or something?' Emiko was worried she couldn't run she'd look guilty.
'I need to be on my guard, if he is smelling me then I need to be fast to get the stake in him' Emiko was thinking up her plan, thinking of ways to have an advantage in this kind of situation.
Sasuke came running back, he had a worried look on his face, he didn't look any angrier than usual, maybe there were no traces of her there at all then.
"Why did you run off? You look a little shocked, are you okay?" She asked him with fake concern.
"Nothing, get inside" He said calmly.
Emiko was going to protest but didn't bother, so she walked back into the club with Sasuke not far behind.
Emiko sighed as the warm air from the club hit her cold barely covered body, She walked over to the table knowing Sasuke was still behind her.
"Emiko?" Sasuke shouted over the loud music.
"Hm?" She breathed "What's up?" She asked.
"Well that guy from earlier, he seemed to 'like' you, have you seen him?" He asked curiously.
"Ummmmm...No I haven't, why? You gonna beat him up?" She said mockingly.
'Crap, crap, crap, crap! He knows that the guy is dead, stay cool and keep calm' She thought not letting any fault show on her expression.
"Well I just thought you'd know, considering he wouldn't leave you alone, and no I don't want to beat him up" He answered her.
He lied. He did want to beat him. Beat him within an inch of his immortal life.
'But someone beat me to it, there is the possibility that Emiko had killed him, but he was a large man. The kind with more muscle than brain, so I don't see how someone as small and fragile as her could have killed him' Sasuke thought, getting slightly angry. His brain wasn't functioning as well as it would be if he was sober.
"O...Kay, well I'm gonna get another drink, and maybe dance" Emiko said and walked away leaving Sasuke to his brooding thoughts.
Sasuke didn't answer, he just let her leave, he looked over at the table to see if Naruto was there, luckily he was and signalled him over to where he was stood. Naruto plodded over grinning like a loon.
"What's up Sasuke?" Naruto asked, his words slurring slightly.
"I need to talk to you about someone who's just been murdered. Now" Sasuke said seriously and walked outside of the club.
Naruto's face suddenly went from 'grinning fool' to serious in seconds.
Sasuke led him to the ally where he had seen the puddle of blood.
He gestured to the floor to make sure Naruto actually understood what he was talking about.
"So There's a puddle of vampire blood, big deal, vampires kill each other all the time. Why'd you drag me out here anyway?" Naruto asked knowing it wasn't souly to do with the small puddle of blood.
"Because it was a hunter, and I have a small hunch that it could be Emiko, she was out here for a little while" Sasuke informed him.
"I know she was, but as you just stated, she was here for 'a little while' that's hardly enough time for a fragile girl like her to kill some vamp, even if she was strong and fast, it would take longer than a few minuets. Also vampires have exceptional hearing, there would have been a huge commotion, which we would have heard" Naruto stated, it was like he had not one drop of alcohol in his system.
"So you can get all serious, this shows you really do act stupid, you're smarter than you let on...I suppose" Sasuke grumbled.
"And you Sasu need to drop this whole 'hunter' thing with Emiko, she's really cool once you get to know her, but you'd still be infatuated by her, why are you so obsessed with her anyway?" Naruto asked, now he was being 'normal' Naruto.
"I don't know...She's different?" Sasuke answered unsure.
"You said it like were asking me. What about Sakura? You know she's practically in love with you right?" Naruto said trying not to laugh, he knew this would annoy Sasuke, that's why he brought it up.
"Yes I do know, thanks for mentioning. She's a friend, end of. Nothing more, and never will be. Okay." Sasuke was agitated, he hated when Naruto brought up Sakura's undying love for him. It's not that he hates her, but he feels guilty. Guilty because he doesn't feel the same, but I some ways it's her own fault. She knows how he feels but she still loves him and tries to 'get him'. So in some respects he can't be held responsible if she ends up heart broken.
Without saying another word they both walked back into the club and sat back at the table with, surprisingly everyone. Ino looked pissed off.
"What's up with princess over there?" Naruto asked chuckling
"Well miss piggy hasn't had any guy come up to her, begging for her 'lovin'" Sakura chimed laughing.
"Well I have the right tot be pissed, I'm like totally hot and stuff and it's like no one has noticed me!" Ino cried and looked like she was actually going to cry.
"Ino, you're fine, the guys in here are sleazy anyway, you can do ten times better than them" Emiko told her hoping she wouldn't cry. She hates it when people cry over stupid things like that.
It looked like some people 'over heard' Emiko over the very loud music, and they didn't look happy.
"Shit, do yo think they heard me? Oh well I don't care I can take 'em!" Emiko said standing up.
"Hey! Girly. You got a problem with us?" A tall man with black eyes and blonde hair asked.
"Well yes, I'm not gonna lie, you're all sleazy and disgusting" Emiko said with her hands on her hips smirking.
"You wanna go darlin'? I don't care if you're a girl!" He shouted.
Emiko laughed loudly, partly because she found the situation funny and also because she had consumed a large amount of alcohol.
"Bring it asshole!" She challenged laughing.
Before anything could happen Sasuke decided to step in.
'No one even thinks about starting a fight with her' He thought standing between the man and Emiko.
"You're scum, you know that. Threatening a to beat up a girl, who is drunk and is probably much weaker than you" Sasuke said in a serious tone, slightly smirking with his hands in his pockets.
The Blonde haired man stood there in hesitation, but decided to back off and walk away.
"Whatever man..." He muttered as he walked.
Sasuke turned around waiting for his thanks but instead got Emiko glaring at him, looking like she was going to slap him to death.
"What the hell was that for! I was so going to kick his ass-" Emiko gasped at what she thought was realisation. "That's why you told him to go away! You didn't want me to show you up!" she said in the same drunken slur.
The smile turned into a smirk and it was like she wasn't drunk at all.
"poor Sasuke didn't want little 'weak' Emiko to show him up, I thought as much" She sounded as serious as ever, putting emphasis on the word weak. Even after the alcohol she could still sound normal, walking away however showed that she was in fact, drunk.
Sasuke just laughed and didn't bother replying with some witty remark, he was too busy watching her stumble around, trying to look half sober.
"Right I think it's time we went home guys, everyone is pretty drunk and we do have lessons tomorrow, which no one took into account. Am I right?" Sai spoke in his calm deep voice.
"Well I guess you're right, I'll start to round everybody up" Kiba said and ran over to the bar where Ino and a few others stood.
"We're leaving soon, so finish up, you know how the teachers get if we're late back, plus classes tomorrow!" Kiba shouted false enthusiasm walking away from the bar. He made a beeline for the dance floor next, hoping to round up the rest of his friends.
It took him a while but Kiba eventually gathered everyone at the table.
"Sai...Why the hell didn't you help me?" Kiba shouted at the calm looking boy.
"I didn't feel like it, anyway you did well on your own. Well done" Sai said in his creepy, 'too happy that it's patronising' voice.
"I'll give you a well done..." Kiba muttered under his breath.
"Emiko, you're on the bike with me again, everyone else decide for yourselves, I'm tired" Kiba ordered. grabbed Emiko and her things and headed for the door.
"Ya know if you're tired, you shouldn't be driving...Or riding I dunno, but should I really be putting my life in your hands?" Emiko asked jokingly and took he things off of him.
"These are mine" She said while putting on her jacket .
"Hey I forgot to say, what's in the bag? It's really heavy" Kiba asked as they reached the bike.
Emiko hoped her facial expression hadn't changed much.
'How do I avoid this' She thought and with that Kiba turned waiting for her answer.
