Chapter 10

"How dare that insensitive bitch!" a demon spat. He sat nursing an injured head as he sat at a long table where many other demons awaited for their orders from their master. The demonic man spat a glob of blood from his mouth and stuck his index finger and thumb in it, giving a grunt when he pulled a molar out harshly with a quick snap. "She doesn't know when to take her orders like she should."

Junko hissed through his elongated canines. "Don't you dare insult Tashino like that!"

"Don't be so loud, Junko," another male demon sighed.

"Shut the fuck up, Shunsuke," snarled Junko.

"Ah, don't be too rough on him now," an American demon laughed. "You have being on the noisy side ever since that angel tore you a new one." Some demons chuckled around them while some roared with laughter at his embarrassment.

"It wasn't my fault I wasn't informed in the possible fact that this was the year the new recruits were suppose to come down to Earth!" The other demons continued their laughter at Junko, not noticing the presence that stood in the shadows watching them.

"I wonder why Tashino was so eager to accept that assignment?" the American pondered.

"You know her; the girl loves to party."

"Yeah, but we all know Junko wanted to go with her 'cause he loves her." The American demon chuckled again as he twirled a small fire orb in his palm.

"You know what, Collin?" Junko finally snapped and he stood to face the American demon. "I'm getting sick and tired of your sarcasm all the time and I've just about had with you insulting Tashino." An aura of darkness surrounded him as he glared at Collin with malice and hate so unbearable it filled the room. "I'm gonna make you pay for your insults, you son of a bitch."

"Junko." The demon froze in his steps and his eyes widened as the shadow stepped from its place and all eyes snapped to the figure. "Please refrain from fighting in my meeting room." Junko turned his head to the new person and bowed hastily before taking his seat again.

The new demon took a seat at the head of the table with a small package in his hands that looked similar to a lunch bag. His hair was pulled into a pony tail at the nape of his neck but a few strands still managed to frame his face. The endless black holes that were his eyes looked around him as silence filled the room.

"Oooooh!" a female demon squealed. "What did you bring us?"

"Shut up!" another girl cried. "How rude can you possibly be? He wouldn't bring you anything."

"And he would bring you something?"

"Girls," the demon sighed. "Please calm down. We need to get this meeting started."

"Why are you replacing Lucifer?" Collin sneered. "If I remember correctly, it was He who punished you when-"

"Collin, shut up," the demon said monotonously. Just his tone sent shivers down the spines of every demon who was sitting at the table. Collin gulped in fear before giving a sadistic smile.

"Why, so you can order me around like Lucifer? I don't think so-" Suddenly, Collin's eyes went completely wide as the demon appeared behind his chair, his red eyes spiraling with three commas rotating around his small pupil. They narrowed down at the American who was shaking with terror, the unexpected movements horrifyingly quick.

"You want to run that by me again, Collin?" the demon growled. Collin licked his lips anxiously but he shook his head and the demon smirked before returning to his seat.

"Dude, he is so kickass!" one of the female demons whispered. "I heard he killed his whole family when he was human and left his younger brother to suffer on the human world!"

"I know right?"

"Shut up," Junko hissed. "He's trying to speak."

"As you all assume, this is the generation the new Guardian Angels were sent to Earth," the demon said. "And according to a source, God has revised Leys de los Angeles by canceling one of the rules; 'Guardians cannot have contact with any other beings acquainted to "their" humans.' The Guardians can now communicate with other humans as they choose, allowing them vulnerable to attacks in public."

"I say we attack now!" Junko exclaimed, earning a few encouraging replies. "With the angels like this, who knows how much we can get accomplished."

"We cannot do that," the demon deadpanned. Groans of frustration went up but they were silenced with the wave of a hand. "Our Lord does not want us to strike yet."

"And why not?" Shunsuke exclaimed. "This is the perfect opportunity."

"God knows we are getting close to coming to full power so he has placed precautions in his angels, allowing them to know if we are close their humans." Junko flinched at the memory of when he had attacked Sakura's humans and she had been there quicker than he would have liked. And not to mention how strong she was for an angel.

There were numerous snickers at Junko's suspense and the demon scowled angrily at them. Suddenly, the door flew open and Tashino stood there with a triumphant grin on her face, earning a few laughs of delight.

"How'd it go, Tashino?" one of the girls asked. Tashino smirked while waving a hand dismissively.

"I don't know why you had such a big deal, Junko," the seductress said with a sigh. "That angel with the two humans isn't that strong besides her singing. I could hear her all the way from where I was stationed."

"Is that a good thing or bad?" Shunsuke asked.

Tashino scowled as she took her respectful seat next to Junko, who smirked at her lovingly.

"See, I told you he loved her," Collin snickered. "Even if she beat the crap out of him just because he wouldn't let her go survey that new angel he still loves her! Now pay up." Tashino growled as she turned to the American, flipping him off quickly before turning back to the demon at the head of the table.

"So," she said with an irritated smile, "what did I miss?"

"We were talking about how the new Guardian Angels have arrived to Earth," the demon told her with a sigh. Tashino breathed out a grunt and gave her lover next to her a knowing smirk, who in turn growled under his breath.

The head demon reached into the paper bag he had with a loud crinkling and pulled out a pair of fingers, still dripping with flesh blood. Every demon in the room immediately leaned forward in their seats, faces dark and eyes gleaming red with bloodlust and hunger.

"You see, humans are fickle things that are nothing more than God's play things," he said as he twirled the appendages around. "They care nothing for each other and other beings besides themselves. Greed, sloth, and lust are just mere thoughts that pass through their contorted minds."

Suddenly, Tashino snapped her head up the moment the word lust was said. Junko looked at her expectantly and grinned sadistically when he saw a very familiar look on Tashino's face.

"Yo, Itachi," the corrupted girl said with an evil grin. The whole table turned to look at her as Itachi, the demon at the head of the table, stood slowly. The young woman leaned her cheek on her hand as it supported her head, a gleam in her eyes that told everyone one thing; Tashino had a plan and it was a nasty, full proof one. "I think I have a plan that can separate our little angel from her two…heh, humans."

There were dark chuckles around the table as the room went dark and the demons disappeared to get ready for the battle that was soon to come.

Itachi stared ahead of him in slight amusement. 'So, my little brother managed to survive after all.' And he disappeared as well.

Sasuke sneezed once and rubbed his nose with his sleeve, stamping his feet in the cold as he tried to keep himself warm.

"I had better not be getting a cold," he growled. He was waiting for Naruto and Sakura to get done with a task a teacher had asked them to do before school so they could get inside and so he could get out of the freezing weather. From his spot outside, he could see Naruto running around with a broom while Sakura sat on the windowsill watching the hyper blonde.

Sasuke smirked up at her when he saw Sakura turn her head and spot him, waving a petite hand at him. His smirk faded when he remembered how angry she had been a few weeks before, the night of the party where the demon had appeared.

-Flashback-

"How dare you come here to Earth thinking you can just barge in there and crash that party!" Sakura screamed at Tashino. The demon smirked at the furious angel and leaned her weight on her right leg, crossing her arms over her chest.

"Please," Tashino scoffed. "What would a puny angel like you do to me that could hurt me so bad?"

"Maybe I should beat you like I did your fellow demon, Junko." Tashino suddenly snarled and swiped a clawed hand at Sakura, who gracefully leapt back to avoid her attack. Sasuke and Naruto stood off to the side watching the event unfold drastically. They had no idea what to do; this was a battle between kinds they never thought would happen in their lives.

"Don't you dare speak of Junko like that!" Tashino screeched. Sakura grinned when she saw she had hit a sore spot in the demon.

"Why not?" Sakura asked. "He's a demon with a really bad OCD problem when it comes to sins. What do you see in him, Tashino?" The way she had spat his name out like that made Sasuke flinch. The only time he had heard use this tone was when she told them it was basically the humans' fault that Heaven and Hell were going to have a war against each other because of the many sins they had done.

"Shut up, you suck up!" Tashino screamed. Her voice had suddenly turned dark and her hair stood on end as a dark aura began to surround her. Suddenly, she seemed to visibly calm down and the air around them lifted, but Sakura didn't fold her wings back in from when she had snapped them open to keep Tashino from attacking the boys.

"You know what?" the demon said in a high pitched voice, "I think I'm going to leave now."

"Wise decision," Sakura growled and watched as Tashino started to fade into black mist.

"But beware, angel," the demon breathed. "I would keep an eye on your pretty boys over there. You never know what kind of things go bump in the night." With that, she disappeared, leaving a very pissed Sakura with two disgruntled teenage boys.

-End of Flashback-

Sasuke puffed into his gloved hands and rubbed them together as he looked around when he heard the door open behind him. Naruto came bounding out with an out-of-breath Sakura following after him.

"Finally," he huffed. He started walking towards them and the other two caught up with him quickly.

"Are you going to try out for track next year, Teme?" Naruto asked as they walked back inside.

"Maybe. Why?"

"I saw some signup sheets in the main hall. Just thought I would let you know!" Sasuke nodded and looked down at Sakura, who seemed engrossed in what Naruto was saying about track.

"Do you think I can try out as well?" the angel asked. Naruto grinned his huge smile Sakura had gotten so used to over the past few weeks she had been with them. Winter had begun to settle in and the young angel wanted to know why it was so dang cold outside in Japan. Although, she had a pretty good idea why…Sakura looked up at the cloudy sky and huffed the hair from her eyes. TenTen's party replayed through her head way too many times, the demonic slut always leering at her through dreams.

Sasuke sighed to himself when he saw the distant look in Sakura's eyes. He knew what she was most likely thinking about. That demon from the party really scared the living shit out of her, especially after their little duet on the stage. What had she said that made Sakura look so frightened he didn't know. Tashino, she said her name was. Why did that name sound so familiar to him-

"Sakura-chan!"

The girl twitched in irritation at the familiar voice. Lee sprinted over so fast Sasuke and Naruto could have sworn the dust flew up from the ground. Sakura flinched when the love struck man looked on her with heart filled eyes.

"Will you-"

"No," Sakura deadpanned. Defeat instantly clouded over the older boy's head and his eyes went downcast.

"Oh, all right then." Lee straightened and turned a glare towards Sasuke. His "rival" raised an eyebrow in challenge, but didn't say a word to provoke him any further. "Well the other reason I rushed over here was to tell Naruto-san something."

Naruto glanced at the boy at the sound of his name questioningly.

"I understand you will be in the talent show correct?"

This surprised Sakura. "You're going to be in the talent show, Naruto?" she asked. Naruto sighed and nodded his head with a sheepish grin.

"Yeah, I'm playing the piano!" It got quiet…before laughter erupted from behind them. They turned and saw Ino standing there laughing so hard she was bent over and clutching her stomach.

"You've got to be kidding me!" the blond screeched. Naruto scowled, jutting his lower lip out in the form of a pout.

"But I can play!" he argued.

"He can," Sasuke interrupted. "Dobe has been playing since third grade. I thought you knew that, Ino."

Ino let out an exasperated huff of air and she smoothed her bangs back. "I did," she snorted. "I just never thought he would actually do it in front of people!"

"Wait!" Sakura suddenly exclaimed. Everyone's attention turned to her immediately as she waved her hands in front of her frantically. "Why didn't anyone tell me Naruto played the piano?"

"We thought it wasn't important to tell you the idiot could actually DO something!" giggled Ino. Naruto pouted again at the girl's comment.

"Just because I can do something awesome doesn't mean you can diss me like this, you guys!" he shouted.

"Aw, don't get mad, Naruto-san!" cried Lee while striking a dramatic pose. "As student council president, I totally support you in your youthful journey!"

Naruto made a face and started backing away from Lee. "I think I'm going to class now. Bye!" And with that, he ran away from the group as quickly as Lee had rushed over ten minutes before. Ino gave a loud sigh before patting the disheartened Lee on the back.

"Don't worry, Lee!" she cried. "He's an idiot and just doesn't seem to appreciate your heart-felt 'youthful' confession."

"I just hope Dobe can stay straight long enough in order to accept it," Sasuke scoffed. Lee perked up instantly as Sakura flashed him a small smile.

"Lee-san, please excuse my cousin's rude behavior. He's not quite a morning person."

"Whatever," sneered Sasuke. Sakura pursed her lips at him. "What?"

Sakura just rolled her eyes and followed Ino inside the school. Sasuke put a hand on his hip and raised an eyebrow. Suddenly, something flashed out of the corner of his eye and he tilted his head to that side, his eyes narrowed in wonder. But when he looked at where he had seen the flash of light, all he saw was group of students talking. He made to start walking after his friends, but a breeze blew across the back of his head. Sasuke turned his head quickly but didn't see anything again.

His lip curling in frustration, Sasuke quickly hurried after the two girls. If he had stayed longer, however, he would have seen a girl his age grinning maniacally. Her glowing eyes followed the group inside before following them, her nails curling into claws at the thought of ripping them apart, their blood spilling over her fingers and arms as they screamed in pain and for mercy. Oh how fun that would be to-

"Oh, there you are!"

The girl whirled around to see Lee grinning at her. The girl gave him a gorgeous grin in return, causing Lee to blush lightly.

"Are you ready for your first class?" he said after swallowing thickly.

"Of course," she purred. She gestured for the class president to lead the way into the classroom they were next to, but Lee pushed her so she could stand outside.

"I will introduce you first before you come in," Lee said with a winning smile. The girl just smiled and nodded, but on the inside she was cursing him. 'You will be one of the first to die.'

Lee slid the door open and she heard him call for order. "May I have your attention please, my fellow students. We have a new student who will remain with us for as long as she can." He raised a hand and waved her in. "You may come in now." The girl walked in, her uniform skirt sliding up and down her legs as her lithe and slender legs moved across the tiled floor. Eyes widened and eyebrows raised at her features, from her jet black hair to her heeled feet. Her eyes glowed in mischief as she captured all the boys' attentions and she grinned at the shocked looks on the angel and her two humans.

"Hello," she introduced herself. "My name is Tashino Hatake. It's very nice to meet you all."

With that, she smiled, her eyes glowing redder as her plan slowly began to unfold.

Haha so what do you think? It's probably not as good as ya'll thought it would since it took me so long to write it :) WELL SUCK IT UP! There is no preview of the next chapter cuz...um...I haven't started it yet ^^''
