Hey guys and welcome back to another chapter of Demonic Love.

Like I've said in other chapters, and in future chapters as well, I apologise in advance for any grammar mistakes, repetitiveness and poor writing. Anyway on with the story.

I don't own Naruto or it's characters. I'm just using them for the story. And any OCs are mine.

"Do you think we're far away enough?" Tenten asked her childhood friend.

She and Hinata were sitting behind a large tree, their backs on the old bark of wood, in the park which was surrounded by lots of green bushes.

After being told by Sakura to leave, the ravenette had dragged the older girl deeper in the park, into the forest of trees which was one of many popular tourist places in Konohagakure. Tenten didn't know how far they had gone, but she knew it was far enough that she could barely hear the fight between the pinkette and the demons. She was met with only silence as she was sitting on the soft grass, next to her best friend.

"Seems like it for now," Hinata replied, looking in the direction of were they left Sakura. "But we shouldn't let our guard down yet. Not until Sakura-chan comes looking for us."

The brunette turned to her friend. "You really do believe in her don't you?" she asked. Hinata then turned her gaze to the floor, a little smile forming on her face.

"I do," she said. "It was because of her that I'm still here today."

Tenten furrowed her brows. What did she mean that she was here today? As if she knew what was going on in the brunette's mind, Hinata looked into her grey orbs and the smile on her face lowered slightly. "I guess I should tell you what happened to me," she said. And that she did.

Tenten listened as Hinata told her story. The girl told her how on the day that Sakura transferred into their school, she was attacked by two demons, a spider-like creature and a pink skinned demon, and how she almost died by their hands. That made the brunette's eyes grow wide, but when the ravenette told her that Sakura had arrived just in time to save her, her eyes went back to their original size. She listened on how the pinkette had killed the spider-like demon with ease and made the other retreat with it's tail between it's legs. But in the process of doing so, revealed who she really was.

The girl then told her about how, during the next night, she had found the pink haired demon in a construction site, injured, and before she could help her, the pink skinned demon had returned with a vengeance. After that, Hinata stopped talking for a moment. The brunette noticed the look of anguish on her face, and her chest tightened. Whatever it was that she was going to say next wasn't going to be pleasant to hear.

The older girl put a comforting hand on Hinata's shoulder. "That's enough," she told her, "you don't need to say any more."

But the white eyed girl shook her head. "I'm alright," she replied. She closed her eyes and took in a deep breath. Then, opening her eyes she continued. "When the demon arrived, she was about to kill Sakura-chan. But, before she could I... stepped in between them. And then, I was impaled." The ravenette started to gingerly touch her stomach. Even today, she could still feel the cold sharp metal that pierced her body. She knew that it would take a long time before she could forget that feeling.

"Hinata..." Tenten whispered her name. It really pained her to see her childhood friend this way.

"But, to be honest, I'm glad it happened," she said. Tenten wasn't expecting to hear those words. "Because of it, Sakura-chan was able to find a new power and defeat the demon. But more importantly, I got to see her gentle side." Hinata could still remember all of the details of that night. Being held in her strong arms and had given the ravenette a gentle look and smile. She also remembered how the younger girl had opened up to her and on the next day, she saw the girl's cute sleeping face next to her in her bed.

A smile had started to form on Hinata's's face and her cheeks had started to become hot at the memory. Tenten noticed the raven haired girl's face and she most likely knew the reason why. Hinata... Tenten called her friend's name in her thoughts. Is it possible that you're-

"That's why I believe in her," Hinata spoke, cutting off Tenten's train of thought. Her cheeks had become a normal colour and her eyes shown confidence. "And that's why I'll wait for her." The brunette, seeing that look on the girl's face and staring at her for a moment, just smiled.

You're a really lucky girl Sakura the brunette thought. She tightened her grip on Hinata's shoulder and the ravenette looked up to meet her gaze. Just like the ravenette, Tenten now had a confident look, with a smile to go with it as well. "I believe in her too," she declared. Hinata's eyes widened at what her friend said, but it soon vanished, replaced with a smile. She gave Tenten a nod and with that, both girls decided to do what Hinata said and wait for Sakura to find them, their belief strong.

SPLAT!

Suddenly, Tenten felt something wet and slimy hit her hand which was laying on top of Hinata's shoulder. The ravenette heard the sound also, and both girl's looked. The back of the brunette's hand was covered with something green and not a second later, another green drop joined the first.

Both girl's hearts practically stopped at that moment, their eyes wide as saucers and a cold sweat had cascaded down their backs. Slowly, both girls looked up and were met with the sight of four sets of sharp teeth and blood red pupiless eyes that were gazing at the two girl's with hungrily.

The white skinned demon was above them, it's sharp nails digging into the tree so that it wouldn't fall. It's mouth was split into four and more green saliva came out from it's parted jaw. A low menacing chuckle escaped it's throat, and before the girls could do anything, the white fiend roared and lunged itself at the two individuals.

Hinata and Tenten screamed.

"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

Sakura let out a battle cry as she swung her massive blue tinted scythe with swiftness. She cut the white skinned demon in front of her into two parts, and when it hit the ground, with her increased speed from her demonic form, she went to the next demon, cutting it down with an diagonal slash. When that one fell also, the pinkette jumped away from the corpse in front of her and into a safe distance.

Exhaustion began to hit her when she landed, her breathing beginning to become laboured. But tiredness wasn't the only thing Sakura was feeling at that moment. Frustration was also kicking in, and that was because of the demonic presences that she had just cut down. Like the first one she had brought down, the wounds from the severed corpses begun to bubble, grow and take shape. When that was finished, four demons had stood up, including the two she had 'killed' and the pinkette gritted her teeth.

Things were starting getting ridiculous. No matter how many she had killed, more had risen. Even when she killed one that wasn't decapitated, or had any part of it's limbs missing, the demon would heal at an incredible rate. The demon was like a hydra from Greek mythology. She had cut one demon into three and from it, two more appeared from it. Thanks to her failed attempts at killing the white skinned fiend, the pinkette was now facing more demons than before. Twenty of them to be exact, counting the four that been brought back.

The demonic girl could feel the sweat from her forehead cascade down her face. What the hell should I do?! she screamed in her thoughts. There has to be away of ending this! As if the demon could tell the pink haired girl's distraught thoughts, all twenty of them began to smile.

Ready to give up girly?" one the demon's asked her.

"Even you must know that you can't win against us?" said another demon mockingly.

Sakura narrowed her eyes, her brows furrowed in anger. "I'm not going to stop," she spoke, venom in her voice. "So long as you exist in this world, Hinata and Tenten, as well as every man, woman and child in Konohagakure, won't be safe from your clutches."

All the demons smirked at that. "Then have it your way," it said, and with that the assault had begun once more.

Four out of the twenty demons charged at the pinkette at once, Sakura tightening the grip of her weapon. Forgetting her exhaustion, the pink haired girl sprung into action. The first demon to attack her, jumped into the air and lunged forwards, it's ruler length nails pointing at her. She immediately vanished, the demon's arm hitting nothing but air from where the girl was standing, and because of it's momentum, it couldn't stop, effectively stabbing the ground.

The girl reappeared and the instant that she did, she decapitated it's head from it's shoulders. Not missing a beat, Sakura went straight toward the three remaining demons, cutting down two of them with a horizontal arc of her weapon. The fourth demon took two swipes of it's clawed hands and followed it with a thrust of one of it's sharp tipped appendage. The younger girl dodged the two swipes and parried the appendage away from her, twisting her body and bringing her scythe down upon her opponent.

Once more, she moved out of the way of the corpses, but even Sakura knew at this point that she was only adding more fuel to the fire. That was evident enough as the demons she just dispatched had already risen from the ground with more of them following.

Fatigue was starting to rack Sakura's body now. She had started to lean on her weapon, and being in her demonic form for so long was taking a toll on her body. The power was still new to her, so she wasn't used to it yet. But she couldn't give up, not now. Until the demons in front of her were all destroyed, Sakura couldn't rest. And with that thought in mind, she straightened herself, ready for the next wave of attacks that were about to come.

"You're wide open."

Sakura's eyes widened as voice spoke from behind her. The girl quickly turned her entire body around, and the moment she did, the white skinned fiend behind her wrapped it's bulging arms around the girl's smaller frame. The pinkette closed her eyes tightly. The demon was literally squeezing the life out of her. If it wasn't for the fact that she was a demon as well, her bones would have been crushed.

Managing to open one eye from the pain she was feeling, the girl's gaze met the smirk on the demon's face, obviously enjoying Sakura's pained expression. Damn... it... the girl cursed in her thoughts. Things weren't looking good. The girl had barely any strength remaining, but she knew that she had to do something. Other wise, she was going to be killed. But that was when she noticed the four appendages on the demon's back. They had slowly extended themselves and before she could question what they were doing, she felt four sharp tipped blade's penetrate her body, two between her shoulder blades and two in her lower back.

The pinkette let out a scream as the pain had instantly assaulted her body. The grip of her weapon slackened, making the scythe fall out of her grasp and hit the floor.

"That's a lovely face you've got there," the demon spoke. Sakura gritted her teeth again, and glared at the demon holding her. "Now, why don't you be a good little girl and die." With those words, the demon's mouth split into four, making Sakura recoil slightly from the stench of death in it's breath. If the demon thought, though, that Sakura was just going to keel over and die, it had another thing coming.

Thinking that, Sakura cocked her head back as far as she could and then snapped it forward. Her forehead hit the demon square in the face and it roared in pain, releasing the girl from it's appendages and it's grip. When the demon's grasp slackened, Sakura pushed herself away by kicking the white fiend in the chest, making it stumble back, and the girl jumped, high into the air.

Come on Sakura think! thought the girl. She might of brought herself sometime now but it wouldn't last long. The girl's emerald and demonic pools looked at the horde of demons that were below her. Her fight against this immortal foe was never going to end, unless she could think of a way of stopping it's regenerating ability. There's got to be a way!

High pitched screams, however, brought Sakura out of her thoughts. Those screams just now came from deeper in the park, which could only mean one thing. That her friends were in trouble. Tenten! Hinata! she cried in her thoughts. Worry had started to take over the girl's body, and she needed to go and help them. Now.

But before she could even think about helping her two friends, Sakura felt a malicious presence behind her. Turning to look, she saw that one of the demons had gotten higher than her. Again, her eyes widened, and the demon gave her a evil grin.

"Don't get distracted now!" he shouted out before twisting it's body forward, the heel of it's foot heading for the girl. The pinkette, managing to turn herself around, crossed her arms in front of her body and was able to take the blow. The strike was so strong however, that it forced Sakura to fall from the high drop. She came crashing down and hit the ground, hard, causing a dust covered cloud to emerge from where she impacted on the floor

When the cloud dissipated, the pinkette was lying on the ground, within a small crater. Her entire body was aching. It was screaming at her, telling her that she couldn't do any more and needed to stop. But she couldn't stop, not yet. So, ignoring what her body was telling her, Sakura turned her body around so that her arms were now keeping her up. Her vision was slightly blurry from being knocked around, but through the crowd of demons, the pink haired girl could make out two slim figures coming out from the forest of trees.

And those figures were getting chased by one of the white skinned fiends. Gritting her teeth and baring it, Sakura slowly, and painfully, got up on her two feet. She breathed heavily as hunched over.

Hinata and Tenten let out a scream. Then, they jumped out of the way of the incoming demon, the fiend landing where the two girl's had originally been. Without missing a beat, the two girls jumped out of their hiding place and ran. They didn't know where, but they both mentally agreed that anywhere was better than with the monster that was now chasing them.

As they ran, the demon that was following them had begun to shoot out it's green gunk from it's parted mouth and Hinata and Tenten would dodge, left and right, avoiding the flying projectiles. But even though that slowed them down, they didn't stop. Even when exhaustion hit them like a ton of bricks, and their muscles began to hurt, they kept running. Because they both knew that being caught meant death.

"Hinata look!" Tenten shouted after a few minutes of running, pointing forward.

The ravenette looked at her friend running by her side before she did what she was told. The brunette's finger was pointing to an opening in the forest of trees that was quite a distance away. There was something nagging in the back of Hinata's head. It felt like she had seen that opening before, but the girl ignored it and she and Tenten ran faster than they had before. When they finally got to it and rushed through, Hinata knew why it looked so familiar. And she now wished that she had listened to her feelings.

The opening that Tenten had pointed out to, had lead them... back to where they had started. Both girls had stopped in their tracks and stared at the huge amount of white-skinned demons that plagued the park. When they heard another roar from behind them, Hinata and Tenten snapped back out of it and turned to look. Hot on their tail was the demon that they were running away from, coming at the two girls with inhuman speed.

"Come on Tenten!" Hinata cried to her friend.

"W-we're going through that!" the brunette replied back. Running towards a vast amount of demons didn't sound like a sane idea.

"We've got no other choice. Come on!"

"Wait Hinata!" Tenten shouted, but it was no use as the other girl began to run. And not wanting to be left alone, the brunette followed her friend.

As the two girls ran and were about to hit the wall of the horde of monsters, the tip of Tenten's foot had managed to hit a bump in the ground and the brunette fell to the floor in the process. Hinata stopped in her tracks when she heard a thud behind her and turned to see her friend had fallen. "Tenten!" Without having to think, the ravenette ran back to help her childhood friend.

"Ow, that hurt..." the girl whispered. She then tried to get up but soon as she knelt on her leg, pain shot through it and she went to the floor again. When a shadow suddenly loomed over her however, the pain vanished from her mind and instead, the sense of dread took over. Turning her head around like a robot, her grey orbs saw the monster, that had been chasing her and Hinata, looking down her with that bone chilling smile. Tenten's blood had run cold once more at the sight.

"Now you're mine!" it roared, raising it's clawed hand into the air and almost immediately bringing down upon the brunette. Suddenly, Tenten's field of vision went black, and she felt slender arms wrap around her body, as she was pushed out of the way. The brunette knew that it was Hinata that had pushed her and the two girls ended up rolling on the ground, until they slowly came to a stop.

Tenten's eyes had been tightly closed when she went rolling, so when they opened up, the first thing she saw was Hinata laying on top of her. "Hinata!" she cried out, moving her hand on to the younger girl's back. She could feel a sticky liquid underneath her palm, and when she took a look, her hand was covered in red. A worried gasp escaped Tenten's lips and she moved back slightly so she could get a better look at Hinata's back. What she saw made her grey pools grow small. The ravenette had four gashes on the back of her school vest and shirt, blood seeping through the wounds that the demon had created. Wounds that were meant for her.

"Are you... okay... Tenten...?" a small voice asked, making Tenten look down. The twin bunned girl's vision began to blur, worry tightening her heart. Even though Hinata was the one that was hurt, she didn't care about herself. She only cared about others and that's what made the girl amazing. But before she could give an answer, the white eyed girl gave her a small smile, saying in another whisper, "I'm... glad..." and then, like her strength had left her body, she closed her eyes, her full slumping forward.

"Hinata?" Tenten called her name, shaking the girl on top of her. But Tenten didn't receive an answer. All she got was silence. The water that had been building up in her eyes had started to flow out as she continued to shake the girl she called her little sister. "Hinata! Hinata! Wake up! HINATA!"

Tenten shook the girl again. And again. And again. And shook her some more. But the ravenette didn't open her eyes.

"Hi..na...ta..."

BA-DUM...

Sakura stood there, her back straight and no longer hunched over, and her eyes wide. Her heart was thump slow and heavy, reverberating in her ears as she watched everything that had just transpired. From seeing her new friend, Tenten, falling to the ground and nearly getting clawed at by the demon, to Hinata pushing the brunette away from the danger, but in the process of doing so, she ended up as the one who got hurt. And now, even from this distance, the pinkette could hear Tenten wailing out Hinata's name.

BA-DUM... BA-DUM...

Sakura lowered her head, her bangs shadowing her eyes and clenched her teeth tight, her hands slowly balling up into fists. It happened again. Hinata was hurt, again. She was hurt because Sakura wasn't fast enough. Wasn't strong enough. Even with this new power that she acquired, it was no match for the demon it was now facing. It was her fault. It was her fault that her friend was hurt again!

"Like I said before," yelled out one of the many copies of the demon. It charged at the pinkette who was completely defenceless. "You're wide open!" It stretched out it's arm with it's ruler length, sharp tipped nails, intending to kill.

BA-DUM... BA-DUM.. BA- GRAB!

The white-skinned fiend's red sclera widened. Just as it had closed in on the pink haired girl, Sakura had raised her arm up and then, wrapping her slender fingers around the demon's hand, she grabbed the threatening appendage, effectively stopping the monster in it's tracks. The demon growled and began to push and pull, trying to get out of the girl's grasp. But it couldn't move. It was trapped.

Then, the pinkette slowly raised her head and looked deep into the demon's blood red pupiless eyes. When the demon gazed into the girl's emerald and demonic orbs, for the first time in it's existence, it was scared, terrified. Her eyes were cold. They held no emotion, except one. Rage. Pure rage. Her face was entirely neutral, but the eyes told the demon the whole story.

"You're... going to pay," Sakura growled out the words. Her demonic eye then began to glow brightly, and at the same time as it did, red liquid had started to fall from the golden-yellow orb's socket. From what the demon could tell, it was blood.

Not even a moment later that the blood began to pour out of her eye, that black flames suddenly combusted and wrapped itself around the girl's left arm. In the demon's pupiless eyes, the girl in front of it looked like the devil incarnate. It's blood running cold through it's body and it's fear intensifying. The words that the pinkette whispered next only added on to the that fear. The fear of the demon's own demise.

"Amaterasu..."

And there we go, another chapter done with. Thanks for reading and please leave a review and tell me anything that can improve the story or my writing. Also constructive criticism is also very appreciated. I'll apologise now (like I always seem to do which probably pisses some people off) that if this chapter wasn't good enough either. After a chapter I, near enough, start a new one straight away, not giving myself time to rest. But I don't want to keep you guys waiting long for the next chapter. I'm so complicated that I sometimes hate myself -_-'

Anyway thanks again, and see ya next chapter! - he says with an awkward smile.
