Hope I didn't confuse you too much, I also hope it was funny, it's quite hard to write comedy but when you do it's great but it you didn't like this don't worry. Lucinda, Antony and Red are going home (making a quick exit) in the next chapter and the mission can finally begin. For all you Naruto fans out there a note: If Lucinda and Antony weren't there Red would have eaten Naruto alive (Not literally, Red became a cattle drinker too, saying that some humans were just too delicious to eat) not that she isn't going to give it a damn good try before she leaves, arse whopping from Antony or otherwise.

Antony was having hell dealing with Red as Lucki had gone off to hang out with Cal and Niko just stood there at the village's front gate waiting for everyone and even though his face was stone Antony knew him well enough to know he was amused.

"You want to know what I got form that kiss?" giggled Red.

Sakura had taken a particular intrest in this subject. "Yes," she said.

"You really want to know?"

"I don't need to know," said Antony glaring at his cousin.

"Oh Antony grow up. He's had a tear jerking life, no parents, no friends until a couple years ago, he's selfless, sweet, self sacraficing, brave and the best thing is he is naive and innocent."

"Red I've warned you twice already."

"Oh come on cuz give me a break. Anyway it's your own fault."

"How is it my fault?"

"You said he was just not bad looking, what do you consider hot?"

"Vampires."

"BOARING."

Antony put his hands on his hips telling her enough was enough.

"Ok fine, hands off," she said throwing her hands in the air.

Red then walked off in a strop, Jesus that boy was cute. She decided she would go and see him. Hey she said she wouldn't touch, she didn't say she would look.

***************

Niko watched as Cal came back laughing with Lucinda. Cal never let himself get close to anyone, he even kept his distance from Robin (for two reasons mind you) but Lucinda was different, she was like a female version of Cal, she had unintentinally made herself his best friend. No one could ever even come close in terms of importance in Cal's heart but Lucki (besides her brother, Cal was the only other who was allowed to call her that) was as close as anyone was going to get.

They stopped in front of Niko, "Where's Red?" asked Lucinda.

"Antony let her loose about 20 minuets ago."

Lucinda grunted, "I'll go look for her in a minuet."

"So you're sure you know enough about this warlock?" asked Cal.

"Sure, me and Antony could take him down easily, with Red coming along he'll probebly drop dead of a heart attack."

Cal chuckled, then he saw Naruto and pointed him out to Lucinda.

"Ah just who I wanted to talk to," if she knew Red then the latter had probebly got to him first, "listen I'd like to ask you to stay away from my cousin." Kakashi was laughing silently behind his ever present mask and sakura was getting mroe angry by the minuet but she tried to convince herself that she wasn't jealous just worried about Naruto.

"Why?" Naruto asked innocently.

Cal mumbled in english for the second time, "You poor clueless bastard."

"Red is good at heart and while most Cults mate for life, when it comes to humans Red shags anything she lays her eyes on."

Lucinda used the Brittsh slang word shag but seeing as the naive boy didn't pick up it's meaning despite all he had seen of Red she gave the correct Japanese word. His gorgeous, sea blue eyes widened, "What? Red, no we were just talking."

"Talking," Lucinda said disbelievingly, folding her arms.

"Yes."

Lucki decided it was time to change tactics and maybe scare the boy a little. She slipped her long slender finger across his chest then onto his right arm and said, "Oh Naruto what big arms you have. That kind of talking?"

"Uh." Red had said something very similar. Lucinda decided she was getting through enough so she kept going, "lets go out for a bite." On the word bite she drew her impressive looking fangs for a second then contrated them.

"Hold on..."

"No lets get something hot and then we'll get something hotter."

"Ok I get it," he said trying to pulled away but Lucki leaned closer.

"You sure smell nice."

"Ok," he shouted pulling away, "I get it."

"Ok so I win, you'll stay away from the horny preditor?"

"Yes."

"Chill Luce," Lucinda growled at the much hated abriviation and turned to the newly arrived Red, "we'll be leaving in a minuet anyway. I'm talented but not that talented," she smirked, a very cult like smirk.

Naruto retreated behind Sakura who clentched her fists, this vampire was almost impossibly attractive and she had such a seductive presence about her, she could so have Naruto if her cousins weren't there to restrain her. Sakura told Naruto she needed some help gathering medical suplies and he gladly followed her. The other members of the team soon turned up at the gate where the others were waiting. Kakashi was usually always late but he just had to see the scene between the vampire cousins. He was a loyal reader of the prevy sage's novels Make out Tactics and this was like watching a live show.

After Antony let Red go she went to watch Naruto, he had gone for a work out in the same place Cal had although the former's was cut short by Red's visit. Mind you thoughout the training session Naruto's fine senses couldn't help but tell someone was watching him but he ignored them and went into a meditative state he retreated to when he performed taijutsu exercises. Red was watching him, her fangs drawn of their own accoard but as she reminded herself of the consequences she managed to controle the only thing that made her draw her fangs inwillingly and retracted them. This boys fighting was not quite as good as Niko's but it was at least as good as Cal's although he had more form and a million times more grace than Cal.

The Boy was tall and tanned and toned. He wasn't overly large but he was sure muscular. His hair may aswell have been spun gold and his eyes were as blue as the sea but they were also as deep as the sea and like the sea they held tragidy. He was one of the most beautiful people she had ever seen (male and female) and she at 796 years old had seen her fair share of beauty. But like Cal (and Lucinda), Naruto was the kind of person who didn't want people to know he was attractive. She had once heard Cal telling Lucinda that his bitch of a mother Sophia had said, "Well you're a monster but at least you're a beautiful one." This made him want to be as ugly on the outside as he beileved he was on the inside (Lucinda had the smae reason as she was half human, the only half Cult in the world, it was demeaned impossible to co-create with humans. Same as cal was the only half auphe but the auphe blood line ended with him as he and Niko had obliterated them three years ago) what was this boys reason for hiding his beauty under his attitude like they did, was he not human? She didn't know.

Red was brought back to the present by Lucinda's lecture, not full force (she gave her credit for not touching).

"Can't you cut me some slack," Red complained.

Lucinda had her arms folded. "Come on Red he's not your type he's, wholesome, decent, pure as the driven snow."

"I Know it's so attractive."

The shinobi giggled at this discription of their team mate even if they did think she had a point, Naruto had a heart of pure gold.

They were anixious to get going and find that scroll but they still had to wait for Naruto and sakura to come back with the medical suplies aswell as this cult Antony.

Lucinda licked her lips, "Just out of curiousity what'd he taste like?"

The Shinobi were stunned at the casual way in which these words were said but Cal and Niko were used to it, "like fresh air, cool sweet spring water. I also got some blood in there but very little despite his surroundings he hasn't killed a lot. I suppose you got a lot of blood from that one." she said indicating Kakashi, but back to Naruto, "and he smells like a forest whose trees grow oranges." They continued to talk about these sensual things af if they were the weather until they spotted the puck coming just as he saw Niko and Cal leave to look for Antony, whether or not that was intentional the shinobi didn't know. The minuet he stepped forward Lucinda and Red's noses perked up as if they smelt something. Something even Kiba didn't smell until he came a little closer.

"Oh come on Goodfellow you promised you'd behave?" said Lucinda.

Red smiled, "So how was she, he, it."

Only Kiba knew what they were talking about, Kakashi had a good nose but but he didn't pick it up.

"SHE was nice, but I took a shower so you couldn't possibly smell her on me."

"No, if we didn't then we would have know it was a woman but you reek of feromones."

"They're leeking out of your pores get them away from me," Lucinda backed away form Robin, "Cal's just gonae kill you."

"Yeh like he could."

"So would you rather have him kill you or leave it to Niko?"

"That's a good point."

Cal was a force to reckon with but Niko came from hell when he was pissed. Robin turned round and saw Cal and Niko return with Antony.

Robin panicked slightly, "You think Cal's going to be able to smell it?"

"Are you kidding he's no cult but that boy has the nose of a blood hound," Lucinda paused and grinned like a true cult resembling Red, "and the chets of a greek god."

Goodfellow was caught off guard and Red nearly fell on the floor at her innocent cousin's comment. Remebering they caught Cal training shirtless when they arrived here he was as finally built as a ninja or his martial arts fanatic brother but he had a stone hard toned chest, large muscles and beautiful ivory skin. Of course if she even looked at her cousin's best friend in the wrong way Lucinda would punish her good she could be worse then Antony when she wanted to be and besides him being half Auphe and not all human like she liked she kept her finely tuned eyes to herself. When she snapped back to the present and saw Lucinda laughing she caught on; Lucinda was just teasing her (just desserts). She never thought of Cal, gorgeous as he was as anything more or less than her best friend (someone she could relate to and someone she needed for centuries).

As Cal walked up to Robin he didn't even double check the smell he just punched the village wall and shouted, "CAN'T YOU CONTROLE YOURSELF FOR ONE DAY."

Niko didn't need to ask his brother what he was talking about he even debated with himself whether or not to send the puck home with the Cults but he decided he'd need help if something went wrong with Cal and these ninjas weren't going to be any help. He had told them he wasn't wholly human but that was all they knew. They didn't understand the nightmare the Auphe truely were. So he just gave Goodfellow the I'll-deal-with-you-later-look. Cal had spent the last couple of hours telling Lucinda all he knew about the warlock and she promsied her and brother and her cousin would take care of him. Cal (completely out of character) gave Lucki a quick hug and then created a gate back to New-York where they all came from. The Scottish vampire nest was set for a couple of decades (then they would move on). Cal closed the gate with the slowly closing fist quite comfrted knowing Lucinda was taking care of one end of the problem and he knew she wasn't going to fail him which made him fed better about this whole fucked up affair.

Coming Soon. Let the mission begin.
