Night Walker

Disclaimer: DO NOT OWN NARUTO. My only OC now is Yoru.

Intro: Okay just a note so you don't get confused. The way to tell the strength of an angel in my story is by the number of wings they have...kind of like the demons in Naruto go by number of tails. Hinata has four wings or two sets. Also there will be a two new species of demon introduced and after the battle some things will be explained by our sanin. Another note is that demons that are mammals (like fox, wolf, cat, tiger, etc.) are measured by tails. Any of those other than mammals, such as snakes, eagles, falcons, etc. are measured by some other distinguishing trait (fangs, wings, horns, etc.) With the exception of those whose strength is measured in pairs, the highest level is 9. For angels and bird demons, the highest is 10 so the greater the number, the more powerful the demon/angel.

Chapter 12

…Hinata's POV…

Sasuke, Gaara, and Naruto-kun were already transforming. Naruto-kun stayed by Yoru's side while Gaara and Sasuke fought the female werewolf. They were winning while they outnumbered her but then another werewolf appeared on the hill above them. As he did, lightning pierced through the air and all I could see were his red eyes.

"Tsunade-sama! That's Itachi, Sasuke's brother!" I exclaimed.

"I know Hinata. I can feel his evil chakra. Wait—what the?" she said but then stopped when she looked behind Itachi. There on top of the hill, four werewolves appeared on either side of Itachi. Letting out a howl in command, all nine werewolves joined the fray. As they crowded the battle area, Naruto-kun fought to protect Yoru.

"I must help him Tsunade-sama!" I exclaimed looking back to her. She was glowing with white energy now and I could see two white shapes behind her.

"Yes, we both must help the boys. Yoru is my greatest concern, we must save her," she replied while looking forward at the ensuing fray. Her voice was strange to me and as I began to change, I watched as three more sets of wings appeared behind Tsunade. She's an angel! But not just an angel, a very powerful angel!

…Sasuke's POV…

I was fighting as best as I could when I saw Itachi arrive with reinforcements. Itachi…his name was like hot metal to me, making me cringe at just the feeling of death and hate that he rubbed off onto me. I started to go after him as he charged in, but the female I was fighting was too strong for me to leave to Gaara alone…and she stopped me.

"Go Sasuke! He's after Yoru, you must save her!" Gaara's voice entered my head with a serious tone.

"But what about you?" I asked not thinking that Itachi could reach her because of Naruto.

"Forget me! I can handle this one and besides Yoru's health is the most important!" he answered and now I found that he was yelling in my head in irritation.

Without a second question, I took off in the direction of Yoru and Naruto. When I got there, Naruto was fighting two werewolves with Sakura but Yoru was nowhere to be found. Looking up, I could see a dark shadow that had something dangling from its mouth. Rage burned inside of me and I charged toward it. As I did, the shadow fled and then disappeared.

Following the scent of my brother, I came upon a huge mountain with a cave hole. I entered the cave to find the shadowy figure of my brother standing turned away from me. I could smell Yoru's hair but I could not find her. Where was she? What had that bastard done? If he hurt Yoru, I'll kill him! I thought in anger as I scanned the cave for her before I engaged in battle with him. If she was in here and safe, I did not want to change that.

Then he turned around and I could finally see his face. Around his mouth I could see blood dripping down. "Mmm…your girlfriend is delicious. Too bad you didn't make it in time, foolish little brother," his voice said coolly as an evil grin came over his face. His teeth showed and I could see that he had blood in his mouth also.

"Why you!!!" I exclaimed before attacking my brother. I went for his neck, trying to grab hold of him with my teeth. I missed when he dodged and spun around slamming into me. I flew through the air and landed hard against the rock wall. Regaining my balance quickly I slashed at Itachi's throat with my long claws. Once again I missed but this time he clawed me straight down my side. Wincing in pain, I turned around and charged again. This time when he went to dodge, I jumped over him and spun on my toes coming back at him before he could react. I slashed his side with sharp claws and bit into his leg. He howled in both pain and surprise before kicking me off of him and then coming back with a bite. I dodged him this time and jumped onto his back, biting into his neck. Now, he had two bleeding wounds, one on his neck and the other on his side.

At that moment he threw me off and started heading to another part of the cave. I chased after him only to find that Yoru lay inside the open cavern still unconscious with blood staining her clothes around her stomach. Itachi ran towards her but in the blink of an eye, I'd countered his motion by jumping in front of him and slashing one of his legs leaving a deep wound. He let out another howl before growling at me and then running/limping away from Yoru and I.

I waited a while, expecting him to come back, but when he didn't I turned my attention back to Yoru. Slowly I began to turn back into my human form and slowly I came to the realization that I really had been too late. Sakura! I needed Sakura! Yoru's bleeding was bad, too bad. Even for a vampire it was bad. Itachi had struck a couple arteries when he bit her and now blood was pouring out of her wound like water.

Just as I stood back up and went to find Sakura, Yoru's weak voice said, "Sasuke…Sasuke don't leave. Please don't leave. The screaming in my head…what is it?"

"Yoru…you don't need to talk right now. Just stay calm. Is it still there?" I said.

"No…"

"Itachi. He probably used it to torture you, making you susceptible to him. Yoru, I have to get Sakura!"

"Not a problem." A monotone voice said from behind me and I could tell it was Gaara.

I turned around to see Gaara, Sakura, Naruto, Hinata, and Tsunade looking at Yoru and I. Sakura immediately rushed up to Yoru, glanced at Gaara and Naruto pointedly, waited for them to leave, and then ripped Yoru's shirt to see the wound.

When she saw the depth and size, she gasped. "Sasuke, this is from Itachi?"

"Yes, he carried her in his mouth to this cave."

"Oh my god…Yoru don't worry I'll have you healed up in a jiffy!" Sakura said with as much enthusiasm as possible at the evil marks on her body. The fakeness in her voice worried me. Were Yoru's wounds that serious? What if they were fatal? How would I be able to live with losing her?

"Sakura, I will help you," a woman's voice said from behind. When I turned around to face her, I saw that it was Tsunade, her body glowing white. Hinata nodded her head and I relaxed. Our principle was an angel? How is that possible with Hinata being heir to the richest of angel families? Surely she would've known everyone in the entire angel society…

Even as my thoughts were clouded with doubt, I looked back to Yoru to find Sakura's glowing blue hands and Tsunade's glowing white hands over Yoru's wounds. With both of their powers combined, the cuts and blood disappeared leaving Yoru's smooth skin as it had been before she'd been attacked. Yoru relaxed at the lifting of her pain and then looked at me with tired eyes and gave me a weak smile.

Tsunade looked at us, smiled, and then motioned for Sakura to follow her as she walked back to where Hinata stood and the three left Yoru and I in the cave alone. Once they were gone, I turned back to Yoru. She was rested against the cave wall, her shirt ripped, hair undone, and overall looking very tattered and exhausted. I wished I could just sneak her away to my mansion, take her away from the pain that she felt as did I, and forget about all of the danger that surrounded us, but that could not happen. For one: Niiro was at my house, Tsunade probably wouldn't let us leave, and everyone was waiting for us outside the cave.

"Sasuke…I'm sorry," Yoru's weak voice said from beside me. I reached out and took her hand in mine as I scooted closer to her.

"What are you sorry for Yoru? None of this was your fault and…if anyone's to blame, it's me! I should have gone after Itachi first thing and kept him away from you. You wouldn't have gotten hurt if I'd been a better protector."

"Sasuke, you're a great protector!" Yoru exclaimed regaining her energy almost instantly. "You've protected me from every danger that's ever confronted us and…don't ever deny it because it's true! You know it is! What about when you saved me from my own misery after I'd found out that I was a vampire? If you hadn't gotten me out of the pouring rain, I could've gotten sick and died! You helped me overcome my emotional pain when Itachi…when Itachi killed my father! You've protected me so much already that…I should've done the same for you. If I hadn't let my guard down, I could've prevented this but I didn't so it's not your fault. Please don't blame yourself, Sasuke…I hate it when you do that."

"Yoru,…thank you," I said finally. Smiling, she leaned over and wrapped her arms around my waist pressing her head up against my chest. At first I just sat there before wrapping my arms around her and pulling her into my lap, but then we heard Naruto's voice outside the cave and I remembered the other's waiting outside. "We probably ought to go relieve them of some stress, don't you think?" I asked Yoru as she looked up at me.

"Yeah. I can hear Naruto fretting already," she replied. She climbed out of my lap allowing me to stand before I helped her up and held her steady. Her shirt was covering enough of her skin that I didn't worry too much about Gaara but I still held her close to me in an attempt to support her frail body. When we walked out into the light of midday, I was a bit surprised at what I saw.

Of course, the gang was there: Naruto hugging Hinata off to the left and Gaara sitting down with his shirt off and Sakura healing a couple of his wounds while blushing madly at the sight of his abs in front of the entrance to the right a bit. On the left, however, Tsunade stood closest to the entrance while a man with long white hair, Jiraiya, stood behind her with a perverted glint in his eye, and another man with long straight black hair and wicked eyes stood the farthest away, looking like some sort of pedophile/murderer/psychotic science teacher (a/n the last one is what he is! Hehe.).

"What are you guys doing here? Jiraiya and Orochimaru…" I said in a questioning tone at the antics of the janitor and the freaky science teacher.

Tsunade spoke up before "Pervert" or "Snake" could say anything. "They are part of my gang, just as Naruto, Hinata, and Sakura are of yours. Jiraiya and Orochimaru are long-term friends and partners of mine."

"Wait a sec'…partners?" I asked looking at the full-breasted woman suspiciously. (a/n yes, teenagers have dirty minds. Deal with it!!!)

"Not like that! I'll tell you once we get to my office, come on children!" she said turning around and walking away with Orochimaru and Jiraiya following close behind.

Yoru and I followed her, trailed closely by Naruto and Hinata, while Sakura and Gaara stayed far from the group. I had a feeling I knew why Gaara had held Sakura back from the rest of us, and I wasn't about to interrupt him for fear of losing my fingers…or toes.

…Tsunade's Office (15 minutes later)…

(a/n Time is no longer frozen!)

We all either sat or stood in the principle's office crowding into the room like ants. I stood directly behind the chair where Yoru sat while Naruto and Hinata shared a chair off to the side and Gaara let Sakura sit in the other chair while he stood beside her. Tsunade, Orochimaru, and Jiraiya were behind the desk: Tsunade sitting in her chair with Orochimaru and Jiraiya standing on either side of her.

"What you six may or may not know by now is that the three of us are not human as you originally believed. I, Tsunade, am an eight-winged angel of the Middle Class Angelic Society."

"Eight-winged?!" Naruto exclaimed looking at the principle with wide eyes. As a four-tailed demon, he was way overpowered by an eight-winged angel of Tsunade's skill and age. "What about the pervy sage?"

"Haha, very funny nickname Naruto! I am a seven-tailed wolf demon of the Ice Wolf Pack," Jiraiya replied to Naruto's immature attitude.

"Seven?! How are you a seven-tailed demon?!" Naruto exclaimed.

"Hehe I'll explain later…"

"What about you, Orochimaru?" Gaara's monotone voice said from beside Sakura's chair. Although his voice gave off no emotion, he glared at the snake bastard evilly and I could see the suspicion in his eyes.

"Sssss…That's Orochimaru-sama to you…I am an eight-fanged snake demon…Sssss," the mysterious man said between snake-like laughs that made my skin crawl. I noticed Gaara stiffen at his tone and I could tell that he'd felt it too.

"Wha?! How are you guys so powerful and why didn't Hinata-chan know about you?" Naruto asked looking at Tsunade.

"Yes, why didn't she?" I asked curious as to how Hinata, the heir to her family fortune, did not know of a middle class angel as strong as Tsunade.

"Hmm…well, I guess you guys caught me," she answered shrugging in a laid back manner. "Well, first I had a bit of a…gambling problem…and a drinking problem. My parents tried to solve it but they couldn't. And then I did a little sum-sum with a certain demon and they found out about it from his best friend who was jealous 'cuz it wasn't him in that situation. So, they kicked me out and at that time I was only a four-winged angel so no one really cared."

At the telling of her story, Jiraiya grinned and Orochimaru scowled at the white-haired man with obvious jealousy in his eyes. I noticed this, along with Gaara, Naruto, and all three girls. Sakura started trying to hold back her laughter, Hinata let out a shy giggle, and Yoru simply smirked at the three older people who'd just entered a relapse of the past. Naruto shook his head at Jiraiya, Gaara's expression remained flat although I could see the amusement in his eyes, and I held the same smirk as Yoru did.

"Well, seeing the condition you six are in, I would recommend that you go home and if anyone asks, you all got checked out. No one has to know what went on," Tsunade paused to look at Yoru pointedly before finishing. "For your safety, it would be best if they didn't."

We all nodded our approval, but before we left I had to ask. "Tsunade-sama, when did you find out about us?"

"Well, let me start with you, Sasuke Uchiha. I, as an angel, know of your family and of your brother's crimes. Niiro told me about you when he said to be on the look out for Lady Hokousha's daughter, which is how I knew Yoru. I knew Naruto's father because he was trained by Jiraiya as a child and Jiraiya and I have always been friends. Hinata's family is the highest of all of the angel families which is how I knew her. Niiro told me about Gaara and Sakura…well, I witnessed her using her powers one day after training with Hinata last year. Any more questions?" she answered. I was surprised at how much she'd know about us from the beginning and also how much she'd kept secret from us.

"Uh yeah…" Jiraiya mumbled. "Is there any chance that what you mentioned earlier could happen again?"

"Well…I'd rather not say in front of the students…" Tsunade started. Orochimaru glared at Jiraiya while exiting shortly after all six of us had dashed out (yeah we made a run for it as soon as she said that!).

…Student Parking Lot: 30 seconds later (yeah, we wanted to get as far away from Jiraiya and Tsunade as possible and ASAP)

We all piled back into Sakura's car and got in the same positions as before: Yoru in my lap, Hinata in Naruto's, and Gaara sitting in the front with Sakura. This time, however, all of the girls were awake. Sakura decided to turn to the radio on and when she did, all three of them let out a squeal as "Never Again" started playing.

"That's my favorite song!" Sakura squealed. For once, I noticed Gaara with somewhat of an expression on his face although I couldn't quite read it. As the girls sang along with the song, Sakura pulled out of the parking lot (amazing how she could multi-task quite frankly).

After about ten minutes, Sakura dropped Hinata off. Naruto gave her a quick kiss before saying what time he'd pick her up and then letting her out of the car.

Ten more minutes later, she dropped Naruto off (he wanted extra time to get ready for his date). Then she turned around and drove back to my mansion. On the way, Red Jumpsuit Apparatus's "Guardian Angel" came on and Sakura and Yoru sang along with it. In the middle of the song, Yoru stopped singing and turned around to look at me.

I will never let you fall.

"That's my favorite song," she whispered looking at me with warm eyes.

I'll stand up with you forever.

"Really? Why is that?" I asked.

I'll be there for you through it all,

Even if savin' you sends me to heaven!

"Because, you're the one singing it," she said metaphorically. I smirked down at her before the car came to a stop in front of the mansion.

Cuz you're my…you're my…myayay

My true love, my whole world

Please don't throw that away!

I let her out of the car first and then I followed. "Bye Sakura," Yoru said before looking at Gaara and smiling back at Sakura. She winked and Sakura gave her a crooked smile before driving off with Gaara (a/n who is staying at Sasuke's btw) still in tow.

We walked up the driveway together, my hand set on her waist holding her closely. When we got inside, Niiro was pacing in the kitchen. Before either of us could say anything he said, "I just heard from Tsunade that you were attacked and that Lady Hokousha was nearly killed! What is the meaning of this Mr. Uchiha?! I want answers and I want them now!" He had anger in his voice and I could tell that he blamed the whole thing on me.

I looked down at Yoru and she looked up at me with sadness in her eyes before walking up the stairs to change clothes. Once she was gone, Niiro immediately bombarded me with questions.

"You are supposed to protect her at all costs, even your life Sasuke! How is it that she was attacked if you were protecting her?!" Niiro asked still enraged at the circumstances of today.

Trying to hold my cool, I said, "Gaara and I were fighting another werewolf. He had nine others with him, all of them being stronger than one werewolf could handle. Gaara was the one that informed me that Yoru had been taken. Naruto was protecting her but there were too many distracting him."

"It is not Naruto's job to protect Lady Hokousha! It is yours as the heir to the throne of the werewolves and the one who is part of the prophecy! How the hell could they chose someone as irresponsible to be her protector?! Maybe, they were wrong! Maybe, you're not the one that was meant to be her protector. After all, your brother's eyes are the same as yours!"

"You know what?! I don't give a damn who you think you are! You are not Yoru's father and you don't make decisions for her! I'm all she has and if you want to ruin that, then I suggest you leave before you make me angry! Besides, my brother could never love someone. There is no way that he could've been the right person because he wouldn't dare risk his life for a woman! Don't ever suggest something like that!" I finally exclaimed losing my cool to my boiling temper.

…Yoru's POV…

I knew when we walked in the door that Niiro was angry. The rage he was giving off was overwhelming, but it wasn't Sasuke's fault. He was distracted by his brother's cunning antics. The important thing was that I was safe and no one was harmed too badly. As I undressed from my bloody clothes, I could hear Niiro yelling at Sasuke. I'd always known Sasuke to be very quiet and controlled but then again, no one pushed that Uchiha around. I knew he could only take so much before he would break and that was just what happened. I heard his voice louder than I'd ever heard him before. Although I couldn't make out what he was saying I knew that he'd just reached his breaking point.

The next thing I heard were his footsteps coming up the stairs. By now I'd stripped down to my underwear, so I reached and grabbed my silk robe quickly and put it on but I didn't bother to tie it. When I turned around, Sasuke opened the door, walked in and sat on the bed turned away from me.

I watched him fume in silence for a while before I decided to try to comfort him. I walked up behind him, climbed on the bed and crawled over to him. I knelt down behind him for a little bit just looking at him before reaching my hands up and gently massaging his shoulders. I instantly felt him relax beneath my hands and I smiled to myself.

Deciding to play with him a little bit, I stopped and moved my hands down to the edge of his shirt. Slowly I eased them into his shirt, one move down while the other moved up and ran over his smooth, well-toned abs.

I heard a satisfied noise come from him when I did this and the next thing I knew, he'd pulled me around and I lay on my back on the soft bed. Sasuke looked me over before leaning down to kiss me. He seemed satisfied that he'd finally had the chance and he made it even more special by the actions of his hands.

Once again, at his touch, little triggers went off in my body and I could feel my hormones rushing through my body, urging me forward. I could tell that his were too just by looking at him. His hands ran over my skin softly but in a possessive sort of way. From one end to the other, his hands traveled over my skin, pulling my little triggers as he went. When he reached my curves his hands stopped and he looked at me. I made a frustrated sound and he smirked but did not go any farther.

He knew he wanted to so why did he hesitate? Then he looked at the door and I inwardly nodded. Niiro was still in the house, and he could be spying on us so we had to be careful. I sighed, meaning to do so in my thoughts, but accidentally doing so out loud. Sasuke smirked at me, and without my expecting it, he moved one hand over to the spot that he'd hesitated to go to before. I gasped a little at his sudden movement, but then decided to counter. Just before I did however, I heard the front door slam shut.

Sasuke sat back up and walked over to the door, while I watched from my position, still lying on the bed in my underwear and an untied silk robe. I got up when he opened the door and came behind him, weaving my hands underneath his arms and into his shirt (stupid shirt!). He relaxed again before opening the door and looking down the hall.

I took my hands away and moved over so that I could see. What I saw startled me a bit. In the front door walked Gaara, his hair tangled, clothes crinkled, and sweat on his neck. When he walked up the stairs with a pink-haired girl following behind him, I gasped. She too, looked slightly disheveled but in a more girly sophisticated way. They walked down the hall and entered into the room on the end. Sakura turned around and winked at me before entering the room with her red-headed partner.

When Sasuke closed the door, we looked at each other for a while before Sasuke smirked and said, "Well that was fast."

"Yeah…" I replied before saying, "I need to take a shower."

"Okay. I'll wait in here for you," Sasuke said walking over to his bed and laying down while I took off my robe and went into the bathroom. I could feel Sasuke's eyes on me even after I'd gone into the bathroom so I didn't shut the door. As I turned the water on and took off my bra and panties, I could still feel his eyes on me but this time he was closer, so close I could feel his breath in my ear.

End: Oooo such naughty teenagers! Especially Sakura and Gaara, yeah if you were wondering they did a little sum-sum in Sakura's car when they went off together and so now they're just going into Gaara's room to finish what they started. Yes, I know, Sakura seems like a whore. Well, I actually like Sakura but see, she's going to be the first of the three girls to get pregnant and that will be a sixteen to Gaara so their relationship is going fast. Well, I had to stop it here first of all because of the length and second because of the time and I have school tomorrow so I have to go to bed. Also I'm getting tired, and the quality of my writing goes down when I'm sleepy. Plz R&R!!!
