"What are you going to ride?" Luna asked curiously causing Kanoko to chuckle. "What? I don't get it"
"I will be above you guys so don't worry"
"Above?"
"She can fly" Kanoko smiled. "It's one of her special talents. You'll learn about that some other day" she took off after Naruto on the motorcycle.
"Where are we going?" Naruto was just randomly going up streets.
'Follow Kanoko she knows where to go' Hinata projected her voice inside her blonde pets head. Doing as he was told he followed Kanoko to the outskirts of the city. "I don't think we will find people here. It's like a damn desert"he muttered to himself.
'You'd be surprised'
'"Please stop doing that"
'what?'
"Putting your voice in my head"
'I can and will do as I please'
About forty five minutes Kanoko slowed down in front of an old coffee shop. Naruto took off his helmet, "I thought we were going out hunting not going out for some coffee"
Kanoko only smiled at him. Hinata walked inside with them behind her. Hinata motioned for the new pets to follow her and Kanoko through door in the back of the coffee place. Hinata smiled at one of the waiters there before making sure her pets were through the door. Naruto was amazed at what he saw; vampires were everywhere feeding on humans and other vampires alike. The place was dark with red walls and black tile. Smoke was all around them in the air since some humans were smoking. Hinata walked to her usual table when the waiter that she had smiled at came in the back and approached them. "Hey Hinata. Back again huh? And with friends too"
She chuckled, "They're pets"
"I see, so still no mate huh?" he leaned on the table closely to Hinata.
She leaned towards him, "Are you offering?" she smiled.
Naruto couldn't believe how his master was acting. From what he had heard from the trio of vampire friends Hinata didn't want a mate. 'Why is she acting different now?' He glanced over at the other pets who were just as confused while Kanoko only ignored what was going on. 'Is this what hunting is for vampires? Flirting?'
The waiter smirked, "Are you training the pets then?"
"Yes. I believe they should learn what type of blood they like before I take them hunting. Don't want to waste food right?"
Kain, Naruto and Luna looked at each other then away. Hinata continued, "I want AB, Kanoko will have her usual"
"What about the pets?"
"Bring one of each please."
"Ok so AB, Kanoko's usual, and a taste tray" he recited the order.
Hinata nodded and he was off to fetch their order. "What's a taste tray?" Luna's shy voice was barely heard. She looked sick at seeing how much blood other vampires were drinking. It didn't matter to her, she had always refused to drink blood which was probably why she was so damn weak. Neither had even had a taste of blood but Hinata didn't know.
Hinata continued to look at the other vampires drinking their fill. Her eyes flashed red at the sight and smell of fresh blood. Without looking at her she answered, "A taste tray is to see what blood you like. You taste the different types and which ever tastes the best is the one that will fill you up."
"I thought vampires liked blood in general" Naruto cut in.
"no they have their tastes just like everyone else" Hinata watched a male vampire who had been eyeing her since she arrived. "For example I like AB"
The waiter returned with their order, "Here you go my sweet" his voice was low and smooth. He placed the glass of AB blood in front of Hinata, A glass of blue liquid in front of Kanoko and the taste tray in front of the three pets. They looked at each other, then to Hinata not knowing what they were supposed to do. Hinata sighed, "Kain you go first, whichever blood smells good taste it and the one that tastes the best is the type of blood you like."
Kain did as he was told by sniffing the blood in the cups. None seemed to appease his sense until he smelled the last one. Taking the glass he sipped the blood tasting the sweetness. The others looked at him, Naruto already knew what it was like to taste blood so he didn't find it as repulsive anymore, Kanoko drank from her cup discretely glancing at Kain's actions and Luna looked like she wanted to hurl. Hinata smirked, "Sweet isn't it?"
He nodded licking his lips, "What was that?"
"That my pet is type AB, the same I like" she closed her eyes savoring the taste of the blood in her glass cup. "Naruto your next"
"Whatever happened to ladies first?" he looked at Luna who was even paler than before.
"Why are you nervous Naruto? You already had your mix so blood should be appetizing to you now"
Kain gripped his abdomen with his left hand his eyes shut in obvious pain. Luna panicked seeing him in pain while Naruto tried to figure out what was wrong. Kanoko ignored them and Hinata watched for a few minutes to see what they would do. When she got tired of their useless antics to help she made her way over to Kain and hit him so hard he got knocked out. Naruto was pissed off at her irrational actions, "What the fuck was that for?!"
"I got tired of hearing him" Hinata's voice was cold surprising Naruto. "Luna?"
Luna looked up at her Master, "yes?"
"Did you previous Master ever give you a taste of blood?"
"No"
"Either of you?"
"None"
"I see" Hinata told the waiter to get her a knife and two cups. "We're going to fix your problem now" she looked at Kain sadly then to Luna, "I'm surprised you're even alive"
The waiter returned with the items she had asked for. Taking the knife Hinata cut her wrist letting her blood drip equally into both cups. After the same amount was in both cups she cleaned off the blood from the knife. Then she grabbed the unconscious pet's wrist and cut it letting blood drip into the right cup. Seeing her friend be cut made Luna scared that she was next. When Hinata cleaned off the blood and faced her she stiffened looking for an exit. Finding none Hinata ordered her to show her wrist, pain ensnared Luna's senses as well as fear as she watched her own blood be dripped into the left cup. Once that was done Hinata left the knife on the table while grabbing the taste tray. She poured a little of every blood evenly into the cup then mixing it with the knife. Looking into both cups she handed to left one to Luna who turned her head. Hinata understood the fear but wouldn't risk her being hurt like Kain so she ordered her to drink it.
Hinata splashed cold water onto Kain's face waking him up. He wasn't fully awake when he was told to drink the mixture so he did so obediently. After a few moments after drinking the blood he felt better. "What was that you gave us?"
"It's a mix that eases the transition from human to vampire" she sipped the blood from her glass. "I just can't believe she never gave you a taste of blood"
"Don't you think that's a bit hypocritical since you don't let Kanoko drink blood" Naruto pointed at the weird blue liquid in Kanoko's glass. Hearing her name she looked up to the blonde.
Hinata smiled, "I gave her the same mix when she was turning into a vampire. I do feed her blood I just don't let her drink directly from the source"
"Why not?"
"Let's say she had a few control issues" she chuckled.
"Control issues?" he looked at Kanoko questioningly who only avoided his eyes.
The waiter came back with a cheery face, "You're in luck Hinata"
"Why is that?" she closed her eyes. It amazed Naruto how she could change her personality from commanding to sensual in a snap.
"I'm on my break"
"Well thanks for the indirect offer" she chuckled. "but its two am so I think its time to go."
"Aw so soon really?" he pouted cutely at her. She slipped him a card not caring if anyone saw. With a quick wink she stood up motioning for her pets to follow. "Kanoko please take Luna home. She is not ready for the next lesson. Watch over her while I am gone"
"Yes Master" Kanoko bowed and drank the last of her meal. Hinata and the two males watched the two females leave. Finally alone with her two male pets Hinata smiled motioning for them to follow her out to the other motorcycle that Naruto had been riding. Instead of instructing them to ride it she pushed the motorcycle to the side of the building they had just been in.
Naruto who was starting to gain his loudmouthed personality back asked, "Are you going to teach us how to hunt now? How come Luna and Kanoko had to go home?"
Hinata stared at her blonde pet. Turning him around so his back was to her she pressed her fingers painfully to a spot between his neck and shoulder. Pain engulfed his body as two black wings sprouted from his back ripping his flesh in the process. Kain studied the wings from afar with a bit of disgust. The wings weren't clean at all. They reminded him more of when an animal was born covered in blood and some sort of slimy substance. Smiling in satisfaction Hinata whistled, "so you're one of those"
"One of those?" Naruto asked still in pain. He looked over his shoulder examining the black and dark orange wings dripping blood on the earth beneath them. Kain watched Hinata examine the wings before turning to him. Kain wanted to take a step away from her but thought against it. Before she even made contact with his skin two large black and purple wings sprouted from Kain's back ripping through his clothing and flesh. Walking around him Hinata smirked happily, "Perfect just perfect"
"I'm sorry but what's perfect?" Kain wondered why his wings were slightly larger than Naruto's and purple while Naruto's were dark orange.
Hinata sprouted her own wings with ease and no blood nor was tearing of her clothing seen. Her wings were just as big as Kain's and were dark blue. "Naruto spread your wings"
"How do I do that?"
"Just flex your back muscles and the rest will come naturally from there" She smiled when Naruto accomplished her task. His wings had been cleared of all blood and other substances as he had spread them. Kain did the same cleaning off his wings. "Perfect. Just perfect"
Again Kain asked her, "What's perfect?"
"That you guys are spreading your wings so quickly" she spread hers showing them how to take flight. After awhile they got the hang of it and Hinata taught them how not all vampires could fly although they all had wings. She also explained what they were going to be doing shortly. Flying together to a small park she explained that people liked to visit sometimes at night. Seeing a young lady walking alone Hinata walked up to her letting the guys watch from a distance. "Excuse me miss?"
The girl stopped. "Yes?"
"I am lost and wondering if you could give me directions"
"Sure" The girl walked to Hinata leaning close as she pointed out the different streets Hinata could take to the destination Hinata had given her. Leaning closer to the girls face Hinata smiled, "You are really pretty"
"Thank you" the girl looked in Hinata's eyes. Smiling at her success Hinata inhaled the girls scent and bit into her neck. The girl who was still in her trance arched her back allowing Hinata to drink her blood. After a few minutes the girl passed out in Hinata's arms. Smiling Hinata motioned for her pets to give it a try with a few girls they had spotted in the same park. The reason there were so many girls there was because it was a local park with a silly story that whoever walked there at night would find their true love walking there as well. Hinata liked starting these ridiculous stories to make it easier to hunt. Kain was the first to try and it turned out he was a natural at hunting. He had charmed two girls into letting him drink their blood. Naruto on the other hand had a little more trouble due to his loud nature. Hinata and Kain watched Naruto attempt to charm a girl. They hid in the same tree watching Naruto finally taking his first meal from the source. Satisfied with their successes Hinata led them back to the coffee shop where she told Naruto to drive the motorcycle home.
Finally home Hinata relaxed letting her wings fold along her back. Kain and Naruto had learned to fly and hunt so they were satisfied with their work. Hinata noticed a small pink bundle at the bottom of the stairs. Stepping closer to it she realized it was Luna wrapped in a blanket. "Kain, take Luna to her room and then go to yours. You'll need your sleep"
"As you wish" he picked up the sleeping Luna taking her up the stairs. Naruto stared at Hinata discretely. Hinata noticed but said nothing until they were alone. "Is there something wrong Naruto?"
"I thought we had to train with Kakashi"
"We will but for now were going to sleep" she started up the stairs slowly.
"Why are you so hard to read?" he had meant to think it but had said it accidentally.
She stopped mid-step. "Excuse me?" she didn't turn only stared at the steps before her.
Figuring he might as well ask, "Why are you so hard to read?"
"What do you mean?"
"First you are friendly when I meet you in college, then you are like some vampire leader who can't decide whether she wants a mate or not, who are you?"
"I'm Hinata"
"You know what I mean" he snapped.
"Clearly I don't"
"Why can't you decide to be nice and stay nice or be a bitch and stay a bitch? Why do you switch personalities so much?"
"There are things about me you don't know and will probably never know about me" she resumed going up the stairs.
"Tell me!" when she didn't stop he balled his fists. "What are you hiding Hinata?"
Kanoko's chuckling could be heard from the shadows, "Do you really think she is going to trust you?"
"Why wouldn't she? I already know her life secret of being a vampire"
Kanoko stared at him examining his features, "I've known Hinata for years and she's never told me anything too personal so don't think that just because she took you in it means she trusts you of cares about you"
"Of course she cares about me? Why else would she take me in?"
"Maybe she just felt sorry for you. Why should you be any special?"
"I get it" he leaned on the wall to his left, "you're jealous of me. Of me and the other pets" he smirked at Kanoko's shocked expression.
"Shut up!" she snapped.
"What is going on here?" Neji's voice interrupted. "Don't you know that your master is trying to sleep?" he stood at the top of the stairs in his pajama bottoms. He stared at Naruto then at Kanoko, "Look I don't know what kind of petty argument you two are having and I honestly don't give a shit but I do care about Hinata's well being. She needs her sleep since you pets have been keeping her busy" he looked directly at Naruto when he said this. "Anyone who interferes with her resting answers to me vampire or not"
"Since when are you so protective of her?" Naruto was pissed off that he was basically telling them to shut up.
"Go to your rooms. NOW" his voice commanding but the only one who moved following his order was Kanoko.
She turned back to see Naruto still glaring at Neji, "Hurry up Naruto. Go to your room. A command from Neji is like a command from Hinata herself"
"Why?" the blonde didn't want to obey some guy with an attitude.
"Because they are family and if you disobey him you answer to our Master who won't be pleased to hear we have caused her family trouble. Besides, you worthless new pets have put her through a lot having to teach all of you just because she felt sorry for you Naruto"
"I didn't ask her to take me in!"
"You don't appreciate me taking you in?" Hinata's voice sounded completely angry. "If you don't want to stay here you are free to go but I warn you that not many other class A vampires are willing to take in tainted vampires like you. Or maybe you think you can withstand destroying yourself"
"Master" Kanoko tried to take control of the situation.
"Shut up. I am very tired and irritated. Is it possible for me to sleep without being woken up by you pets?" Hinata looked to her right at Neji who was glaring at Naruto as if to say, 'I told you so'
"Did they disobey you Hyuga?" she turned her attention back to her two pets at the bottom of the stairs looking up at her now.
"The blonde one argues too much" Neji wouldn't lie to Hinata for whatever reason.
"Naruto you are new here so let's just get a few rules out of the way, you are not to disobey Neji or Kanoko unless I say otherwise. You are not to disrupt my staff nor are you allowed to interrupt my sleeping time unless it is an emergency. Understood?"
Naruto nodded, "Fine"
"I'm glad were clear on this. Now if you'll all excuse me I'm going back to bed. I suggest you all do the same. Oh and Naruto" she turned showing him her back. "I can be the nicest person whom you can learn from or I can be your worst nightmare. Don't think that just because you befriended me in college that I am going to give you any special treatment." She walked away back to her room closing the door behind her. Turning around she felt strong arms wrap around her body. "Master how can I take care of four pets?"
