Just as Tsunade decreed earlier that day, the streets of the Leaf Village were devoid of life with the notable exceptions of the ANBU Black Ops and the night guards at their stations. The moon was barely visible in the dark sky as a small crescent smile that was reminiscent of the Cheshire Cat from 'Alice in Wonderland.'
Kin Tsuchi, former kunoichi of the Village Hidden in the Sound / sacrificial lamb of Orochimaru, now bloodthirsty Jiang-Shi vampire and servant of Tenten Xiayu (though she preferred the term "Assistant Agent of Darkness" as it sounded cooler and looked better on a resume.), leaped from rooftop to rooftop. Her disguise as an ANBU was flawless as it allowed her to traverse the village freely. She smiled underneath her cat mask at how easy it would be to swoop down on some unsuspecting fool and feed.
Even though she was immune to light of day, it was during the night when Kin truly felt more alive than she did before Tenten turned her. She felt invincible, like she was a goddess among mortals, or at least a goddess that served and even greater goddess.
Kin didn't have to search very long before she found her first meal of the night. Patrolling the rural part of the village was one of the night guards. Judging from his chakra level, the guard was low Chunin. Not too bad for an appitizer. And easy to capture as well as this particular section of the village was filled with dark alleys that were perfect hiding spots to strike from.
The raven haired girl ducked into an alley and waited for her victim to approach. While she waited, Kin extended her senses and could not detect anyone else in the area. As good as the ANBU Black Ops were, not even they could completely suppress their chakra.
A few moments later, the night guard, completely unaware of his fate, passed by the alley where Kin was waiting. When Kin saw her opportunity, she struck. Putting one hand around the guards mouth so he would not scream while hitting a pressure point with her other hand, Kin dragged her unconscious meal back into the alley.
Holding the guard by his neck with one hand, Kin removed her mask and opened her mouth. A moment later, a pale greenish blue energy began to flow out of the guard's mouth and into Kin's. The whole process took less than a minute. Using the hand she was holding the guard with, Kin could feel no pulse. The guard was dead, his chakra and life force completely devoured by the raven haired Jiang-Shi.
"Mmm. Tasty." Kin said as she licked her lips. Under normal circumstances, Kin would have also fed on the guard's blood as well through the old-fashioned method (i.e. biting into his jugular vein), but her mistress had tasked Kin with 'feeding the children.'
Hoisting the dead guard over her shoulder effortlessly, Kin vanished in a swirl of dust, leaving no sign that she was ever there.

Deep in one of the forests of the leaf village, there was a rather old cemetery that hadn't been used since the time of the first and second Hokages. It was treated more around the lines of some urban myth by the younger generation of Konaha inhabitants, while the few people who actually knew of the cemetery, mostly the older generation, felt it was a waste of land and didn't care, which meant it was perfect for Tenten and her vampiric minions.
Kin suddenly materialized in a swirl of dust on top of one of the crypts that overlooked the cemetery. The area was a few acres in length and width, not too big, but not too small either.
The raven haired Jiang-Shi threw her lifeless victim down into the mass of graves. The body landed head first on the ground. A sick snapping sound accompanied the sound of his impact, signifying that the neck was broken. If the guard wasn't dead before, he was now.
"Wake up, boys. It's feeding time." Kin said. A moment later, the sound of grunting and the shuffling of feet could be heard as several figures suddenly appeared from the shadows. Among them were two figures that had Kin's attention. One was a tall young man with a scarf around his neck. He wore urban camo pants and a shirt that had the kanji for death written on the front three times. His arms hung down at an unnatural angle.
The other was another young man whose face was wrapped almost completely in bandages, save for his mouth and one of his eyes. On his back was what appeared to be a cape made of straw. What stood out from this figure was the fact that he looked rather mutilated. His clothes were covered in dried, crusty looking blood and one of his arms was torn off.
Kin looked at the two zombie like creatures as they shuffled towards the guard along with the others. The former sound kunoichi could help but grin maliciously at them. They were once her teammates in the Chunin Exam, Dosu Kinuta and Zaku Abume, although Kin used the term 'teammates' highly loosely.
She had to laugh, seeing Dosu and Zaku as they were now. Tenten had told Kin that there were really two varieties of Jiang-Shi. There were the ones like Tenten and herself, who were indistinguishable from ordinary humans. And then there were the ones who were more like zombies. These kinds of Jiang-Shi were created when infusing recently deceased corpses with some of the chakra of the master vampire.
The zombie Jiang-Shi that inhabited the cemetery were all created by Tenten and thus under her control and bound to her will. Their intelligence had decreased into almost nothing, but they were smart enough to understand instructions, provided they were simple enough. They were useful as foot soldiers and even though Tenten had thought her zombie-like minions were immensely flawed, Kin felt a certain amount of satisfaction, especially seeing how Dosu and Zaku shuffled around like the brainless simpletons they were.
"How ironic. They were mindless pawns when they were alive and they're mindless pawns now. Such a fitting fate for those two." Kin said as the zombies started to eat the guard's body. After the Sand/Sound Invasion, Tenten and Kin discovered Dosu and Zaku's bodies at the Chunin Exam Stadium. Under the disguise of ANBU Black Ops, the two vampires took the corpses to the cemetery and transformed them into zombies, thus recruiting them into Tenten's small, but growing, army of the damned.
As she watched the zombies devour their meal, Kin's mind started to wander around other things, such as the boy her mistress had asked her to keep tabs on, Naruto Uzumaki. The raven haired girl thought back to earlier that night, when she and Tenten had their 'fun.' While she knew that her mistress had staked her claim to the blonde young man, there was a part of Kin that found herself drawn to him. But because her loyalty to Tenten was far greater than her attraction to Naruto, Kin was more than content to stand aside.
However, when Tenten told Kin that she was willing to share the young man, the part of her that was attracted to Naruto was overjoyed. Granted, her mistress would always be first in line, but Kin didn't mind that at all. It was better than nothing and as great as Tenten was with her fingers, it was still no substitute for a nice sizable dick, something Kin noticed Naruto had when she and Tenten were 'observing' the young man one night through his bathroom window.
"And if I'm lucky, Mistress Tenten will allow me to have a child with him as well." Kin thought with a genuine smile.
The sounds of some grunts and snarls broke her out of her train of pleasant thoughts. Kin looked down to see that the zombies had finished their meal.
"Alright, you had your meal. Now back to your resting places until the mistress or myself summon you again." Kin said with a hint of irritation in her voice, slightly angry at the fact that the brainless drones interrupted her thoughts. She watched as Dosu and Zaku shambled their way back towards another crypt. Looking down to her right, Kin noticed a rod attached to the crypt that she was standing on. Breaking the rod off, Kin launched it like a javelin towards the ground. It was imbedded in the ground, right in front of the crypt that Dosu and Zaku were heading into, but it was at a sharp angle just off the ground.
When Zaku was about to enter the crypt, he tripped over the broken rod and crashed to ground. Dosu was right behind him and tripped over him, sending him down as well. Kin smiled in satisfaction at seeing the misfortune of her former teammates. "Another very small installment of what they owe me for all the hell they put me through back in Oto." The raven haired girl said to herself as Dosu and Zaku picked themselves up and continued onward into the crypt as if nothing happened.
"Now that the kids have been fed, it's time for me to chow down. Hopefully Mistress Tenten left some for me." Kin said as she once again vanished in a swirl of dust.

Elsewhere, Naruto Uzumaki was sleeping soundly in his bed, completely unaware of the pair of dark chocolate brown eyes looking at him from the window.
"So close, yet so far away at the same time."
Perched on the roof of a building next to Naruto's apartment was Tenten in her ANBU disguise. She had a look of longing behind her panda mask. The same look she had ever since she witnessed to battle between the blonde and Neji at the Chunin Exams. Ever since she first witnessed the power, the strength and that succulent red chakra the he emitted, Tenten was determined to make Naruto hers.
She recognized the red chakra he emitted back at the Chunin Exams as demonic chakra. That would need some looking into, but for the most part, Tenten didn't care. He would make a fine addition to her small but growing group, whether he was turned or not. The demonic chakra meant that Naruto was either part demon or had some kind of connection to a demon. And Tenten had her suspicions, especially if some of the snide remarks some of the villagers sent Naruto's way were any indication, but she couldn't be sure. Besides, once the brunette gained the blonde young man's trust, he would probably tell her.
'Soon my love, we will be together.' Tenten thought as she kept looking at the sleeping Naruto while thinking of all the fun that she could have with him and Kin.
On the subject of her raven haired servant, Tenten could sense her approaching from the cemetery. Within moments, Kin appeared beside her mistress.
"So, have the children been fed?" Tenten asked.
"Yes, my mistress." Kin kneeled before the brunette. She looked over at Naruto sleeping form and blushed slightly underneath her mask. Tenten noticed Kin looking at Naruto and grinned.
"I think he'll make a superb Jiang-Shi, don't you, my dear sweet Kin?" Tenten said.
"Huh? Oh, yes, I think he will, my mistress." Kin answered. "But do you think we will be able to turn him into one of us? You said that demonic chakra tends to complicate things."
"We might, then again, we might not. The important thing is that we get him on our side." Tenten said, running her hand through Kin's silky smooth hair. "With that done, it won't really matter if he is one of us or not. Besides, there may be times when we may require someone is isn't a Jiang-Shi to assist us. Say for example, a sentinel to watch over us when we sleep and are defenseless."
"Right." Kin said, nodding in agreement.
"And if my suspicions are correct Kin, our friend Naruto over there can help the both of us in creating a new generation of Jiang-Shi." Tenten said.
"What do you mean, mistress?" Kin asked
"Imagine it Kin." Tenten said as she caressed the raven haired girl's cheeks, "With Naruto's assistance, the both of us giving birth to a new race with the combined powers and abilities of Jiang-Shi and a demon. The three of us, ruling over all and doing anything we want. Every single fool who has ever wronged us will bow before us."
"I can't wait, mistress." Kin said, feeling very turned on.
"I can't either." Tenten said…before the sound of a can hitting the ground could be heard. Tenten's eyes widened as she whirled around quickly, just in time to see someone drop to the ground and take off running. It was an ANBU
Tenten and Kin let out animalistic snarls as they watched the ANBU run. "Don't you just hate it when someone tries to spoil the ending to something good?" Tenten said
"Yes, mistress." Kin replied.

It was purely by luck that the Root ANBU happened to overhear the two girls talking. He was assigned to keep tabs on the Kyuubi brat, but what he just found out was interesting to say the least. "Master Danzo will want to hear about this little development." The Root agent thought to himself as he made his way back towards the Root Facility.
He couldn't sense any chakra signatures, meaning that he lost the two little wenches. "Almost home free." The ANBU said to himself.
"Perhaps, but almost is never good enough." Came a cold voice from right behind the Root agent. The next thing he knew, he felt someone tightly pinching down on the pressure point in his neck and darkness took his sight.
00000000000000000000
The painful sensation of a punch to the jaw brought the Root ANBU back into consciousness.
"Rise and shine." A female voice said as the ANBU agent opened his eyes. Right in front of him was a girl with long black hair and was dressed in ANBU garb. She smiled, revealing her fangs. The Root agent tried to move, only to find out that he was securely fastened to a chair that was bolted to the ground. He looked around to see that he was in some kind of warehouse.
"Oh, I wouldn't move around if I were you." Another female voice said. A brunette with her hair tied in to two buns came into view. Like the first girl, she too was dressed up as an ANBU. "Those chakra chains react to movement and tend to tighten up."
As if on cue, the chains holding the Root agent did indeed tighten and caused some pain.
"Now then." Tenten said as she and Kin looked at their prisoner. "That was very rude of you back there. Running off without even having the class to introduce yourself. Tsk tsk." The Root agent said nothing. "Now, I'm just going out on a limb, but that featureless mask of yours means that you're not a typical member of the ANBU Black Ops, am I right?"
Again, the Root ANBU said nothing. "He's quite the gifted speaker, isn't he mistress?" Kin said.
"I think he just needs to come out of that shell of his." Tenten said as she removed the Root mask, revealing a rather plain looking young man with short brown hair. He had an emotionless look on his face.
"Why do they have to do things the hard way?" Tenten sighed as she looked the ANBU in the eye.
"What's this little bitch trying to do? Have a staring contest with me or…some…th." The Root ANBU thought to himself before Tenten's eyes began to glow red. It was too late that he realized that she was hypnotizing him
"Now, whom do you serve?" The brunette asked.
"I serve Tenten, queen of the Jiang-Shi." The Root ANBU replied emotionlessly.
"Excellent." Tenten grinned evilly. "Now let's try having a conversation again, shall we? You're not a normal ANBU, right?"
"No, mistress." The ANBU replied like a drone.
"Who sent you?" Tenten asked.
"Danzo, head of the Leaf Village's war ministry and the special ANBU forces, ROOT."
"Ah yes, ROOT. I heard some cloak and dagger stories about you. Thought they were just stories though. But I guess I was mistaken." Tenten said. "So why were you around Naruto's apartment?"
"I was assigned to watch over Naruto Uzumaki."
"Why?" Tenten narrowed her eyes. This may be a good opportunity to confirm what she had suspected about the blonde. "Why does he need a special ANBU to observe him?"
"Naruto Uzumaki is the living vessel for the Nine-Tailed Fox that attacked the village twelve years ago. Danzo is waiting for the right opportunity to integrate him into the ROOT program and turn him into a weapon."
"Oh really?" Tenten said, her voice taking on a sharp edge. While she was happy that she was right about Naruto, the idea that one of those narrow-minded fools that controlled the village was trying to turn him into an emotionless machine angered the brunette vampire. That was when an idea suddenly entered her mind.
"Here's what you will do. You will act as my eyes and ears within ROOT." Tenten said as she pulled the Root agent's collar down and bit down on his neck. The ANBU didn't even flinch. Tenten licked the wound to seal it. After a moment, it was as if the bite mark was never there. "I just placed a mental link on you, so that way you will not be able to disobey me and I will be able to see and hear everything that you see and hear."
"Yes mistress." The ANBU replied. Tenten snapped her fingers and the chakra chains came loose. Kin handed the Root agent his mask, in which he put it back on.
"Now be gone. When I require your services again, I will summon you." Tenten said. With that, the Root ANBU disappeared in a swirl of leaves. Tenten then looked over to Kin.
"Let's go, Kin. The night is still young."
00000000000000000000
After a night of feeding on a few more guards and a couple of ANBU, Tenten and Kin decided to call it quits for the night. The two Jiang-Shi sealed the bodies of their victims in storage scrolls so they could feed the zombies at the cemetery later. Dawn was approaching as Tenten and Kin got back home. There was no doubt in Tenten's mind that a few disappearances of some night guards and ANBU would catch Tsunade's attention. Knowing this, there was a good chance that Team Guy would be called into action and considering how spent she and Kin were, Tenten didn't need to be involved in the typical kind of training that Might Guy probably had in store.
As such, Tenten decided to do what she did before she turned Kin: create a special kind of clone, a blood clone, to take her place for today. Her blood clones were a lot like Shadow Clones, only a lot more durable. The only thing was that she could not create a truckload of them like Naruto did with his Shadow Clones. But for now, one was really all she needed.
Taking a kunai and cutting her wrist, Tenten let her blood pool on the floor. After she spilled a sufficient amount, Kin moved over to lick the wound and seal it shut. "Thank you Kin." Tenten said before looking down at the small pool of blood on the floor.
"Arise." Tenten said. With that, the blood began to spread slightly and started to rise upward. The shapeless red blob taking on a humanoid shape. Within moments, where there was once a puddle of blood, was now an exact replica of Tenten in her typical clothing.
"You know what to do." Tenten told the clone, who only nodded obediently as an answer before walking off into another part of the house. "Good." Tenten then turned over to Kin. "As for you Kin, follow me."
Kin followed her mistress down into the basement like a puppy would follow its master. "With my blood clone in place, you'll have to sleep downstairs with me."
"Yes, my mistress." Kin replied happily.
After climbing down the long flight of stairs, the two Jiang-Shi entered Tenten's sleeping chamber. The two girls undid their disguises and undressed themselves before getting into the obsidian coffin, the inside of which looked highly comfortable.
Kin snuggled next to her mistress, who ran her fingers through her hair. "Tonight was a rather productive, don't you agree Kin?"
"Yes, Mistress Tenten." Kin replied, feeling very content in her mistress's loving embrace. She then thought about what Tenten had said earlier. The part where the both of them and Naruto would create a new race of vampire.
"Penny for your thoughts Kin?" Tenten asked, noticing the thoughtful look on her servant's face.
"Uh, just thinking about what you said earlier, Mistress Tenten. The part about Naruto fathering our children." Kin said, briefly pondering what her children would look like with Naruto as the father.
"Yes. It is something to think about." Tenten said. She too was trying to visualize her future children as well. As the two girls talked, the lid of the coffin shut, engulfing them in darkness. Tenten kissed Kin
"Sleep well, my dear sweet Kin."
"You as well, my mistress, my love."
