Chapter 4

Stormy Night

The past few nights of hunts hadn't turned anything up on the Fallen's plan. The creatures of night and day were getting agitated with each other and with the little info they were finding. Tsunade had seen this as they returned every morning looking defeated or agitated with one another. She sighed loudly before looking down at her paperwork in front of her. A manila envelope left open on a certain paper. She glared at the request on the paper before looking over the paperwork in her hand. It was all information on the request. She didn't want to honor this request but with the little information they were gathering. It didn't seem she had a choice. "Shizune! Get me Danzo!"

"Stop holding back! I can handle it!" Her green eyes narrowed dangerously toward her partner. He was holding back a lot. She could tell. His eyes were still the bottomless onyx color and not the crimson red he wore when he was serious. He stood facing her, his breathing still regular as he dropped to the floor before attacking straight on. His fist aimed for her lower abdomen. She caught his wrist before he landed a hit and maneuvered to where his arm was behind his back as he kicked his legs back and threw her off balance making her release him and flip her back to standing. Before she got all the way up a blade caught her sight before it dipped to lightly graze her neck, she swore as she dropped her weight and kicked her right leg to sweep the demon. He jumped to evade before jumping on her back and restraining her arms with one hand and his legs held her own legs down. With his blade drawn to the side of her neck, he watched as she glared at him before closing her eyes and accepting defeat. He slid off her back and released her. She was getting better he knew that. Hell he felt it when she could actually land a hit on him! He had a bruise for two days and she refused to heal him.

Her eyes glared angry at the floor beneath her. She was still weak, too weak compared to a demon. Compared to the Uchiha, and he wasn't even the leader or a level E! He had advantages that most demons don't but still. Why couldn't she take him down?! She didn't want to be weak damn it! She didn't want to be protected; she wanted to do the protecting and saving. Yet on every hunt they went out on, he had to save her! And he never let her forget that he did either. She felt worthless. Even with her very own wings, she still was weak as she was before the fall out. 'Why? Why am I not good enough…'

"Sakura" The demon spoke breaking her out of her train of thought. She glanced back up at him to see him looking at her with a raised eyebrow. He had already put away his weapons and was about to leave the sparring room. She closed her eyes to calm her beating heart as she stood up and closed the gap between them. The door opened to reveal two blonds with food in their hands. "We figured you two were sparring again. So we brought food. That and the Mayor wants to have a meeting before the hunt tonight." Ino spoke as she held Sakura's food in one hand and water in the other. Completely ignoring the raven haired demon with her, his idiotic vampire best friend had his food. The raven haired male looked between the two blonds before grabbing his food and leaving toward his room. Not giving the other people a glance as he left. The mayor wanted a meeting, what for? He ran his hand through his hair as more thoughts of the mayor and a pink haired angel ran through his head. 'annoying'

A cloth of red and black seemed to fill the room. Many of the people wearing these cloths avoided being near or facing any of the windows trying not to be seen in case people were hunting. One of the people who had a mask on his face spoke as everyone was gathered. His attention mainly turned toward the man with long raven hair and crimson eyes that many feared. His partner to the right of said man was nodding occasionally and would glance at the window before refocusing on his partner as he spoke. The man with mask spoke again almost as if he was silencing an argument from erupting. With that last statement, the man with crimson eyes smirked as he took to the window and let his wings extend. He took to the skies above him eyes trained for anything of pink and emerald with angelic beauty.

The air in the room was heavy with tension and disbelief. All demons and vampires stood at attention. Not out of respect, heck no. but it was because who this person is. This creature before them wasn't just a demon. He was a rare kind of demon. He was a level above most, and that included the Uchiha, who was inwardly glaring at the higher demon. This red haired demon stood in front of the small hunting group that Mayor Tsunade had assembled in order to find out the plans for the Fallen. It was an interesting bunch to say the least. Demons, vampires, and angels, working together; it was overall a rare sight. Though with the latest news, he should get use to it seeing how he will be assisting here in Konoha. "Suna, isn't as bad as we are with The Fallen roaming the city. Therefore, Gaara will be assisting us and will also be a means of communication with Suna." An angel with pink hair and the greenest eyes took a step forward with a smile on her face. "Welcome to Konoha, Gaara-San. Thank you for assisting us in the hunts." He simply nodded. It would take some time to adjust to not straight out glaring angels. Though the demon on the side of this angel could be reminded on where in the ladder of demons, he is. The red head, level E demon glared back at the Uchiha prodigy. The demon with white hair that was staring between the two demons sweat dropped, 'he can't get along with anyone new'. He glanced down toward the Uchiha and then back at the emerald eyed angel next to him. 'especially if they deal with Sakura.' He shut his book that he was reading before clearing his throat to get the attention of everyone in the room. "We will remain on the same teams we were on. I will be partnered with Gaara-san. Understood?"

"Hai" A smirk graced the lips of the Uchiha, as his wings unfurled and shielded Sakura from the view of Gaara. Mine.

The sun had gone down some time ago. A redheaded demon was flying around from rooftop to rooftop. Glancing down to the ground every so often for any clues. He swept down on a ledge of a skyscraper, his wings folding behind him. His eyes glued onto a piece of cloth blowing in the wind on a fence, black with red clouds dusted the cloth. 'Didn't Tsunade say something about people wearing jackets of this cloth and design?' The level E demon's eyes narrowed as a male's voice that sounded much like the Uchiha's but deeper spoke from behind his ears, "A storm is brewing…"
