Chapter 7: His Angel

His life was full of blessings. He was happy, had a loving wife, two kids, a dog, and a good job. He even had an enjoyable hobby. He was a great hunter. He prided himself on his hunting skills, no one could match his intellect and precision. The police gave him minor entertainment because as much as they try, they couldn't catch him. They were too stupid, and too arrogant to catch him. Why would they catch him anyway? In his heart, he wasn't doing anything wrong. That is why God didn't help the police catch him.

In the past:

For years before he knew of his inner beast or true desires, he thought lived a fulfilled life. It took one night six years ago for this inner being to manifest itself.

It was around 2 am and he still couldn't sleep. Not wanting to wake his beautiful wife, he got out of bed and went to the kitchen to get some water. His heart was beating so hard he could hear it. The anxiety was growing almost unbearable so he began to pace around the kitchen. He didn't understand what was going on but tried to slow his breathing. He even turned on his stereo and tried to listen to soft music. When that didn't work, he decided to himself that some fresh air would ease his anxiety.

He left his home driving aimlessly until he found himself at a park. It was calm, dark, and soothing to him. Yes this was a perfect place to stop. His body felt relaxed and he then was asleep within moments in his car.

A couple of hours later, he suddenly woke up. His heart racing, his body tingling with anticipation. Unsure what it meant he got out of his car.

As if he were on autopilot, He began walking on one of trails that wrapped around the park. It was this place where he had his first hunt. She was a jogger and from her pace, she was very athletic. Watching her, His beast woke up with a hunger he didn't know of before and it roared his demands. While unsure he had no choice but to follow the jogger.

It was purely by accident and sloppy, but it was a happy accident. He had a Hobby, and it was a noble one. People always talk about hunting, but they hunt weak animals that can't do anything to protect themselves. What of this prey? This was true hunting.

!

At present:

His mind screamed in ecstasy. Though sated he wanted to do…something, anything to get his angel back. His beast was fed a fine feast, and was thanking him for the prey. What made his inner demon more excited was the fact that he wasn't alone, No, some how God blessed him with a the gift of a watcher, an Angel.

The man smirked thinking about his angel, the voyeur in his head. For the first time since the beast had awaken, he was able to freely share his hobby with someone, and they watched him hunt with no repercussions! Sure the other person tried to stop him. His angel didn't' understand. But he will, and maybe he could meet him soon.

He believed he was a good man. He paid all his bills on time, every year is employee of the month at least once, heck he even gave to charities on a regular basis. No, he was a good man and God proved it by giving him this blessing.

He didn't even know how it was possible. He thought at first it was he himself being uncertain about his prey that was slowing him down. But he felt a presence in the back of his mind a couple of weeks ago during that horrible fiasco of his last hunt. Sure he didn't get to kill, but he felt a presence it was the same feeling as tonight.

Tonight though was different. Not only was he able to kill, but he was given a special present. While he was walking silently down the hallway of the target's home, he walked passed a mirror. For some reason he turned to look into it. It was then, he saw his watcher. His blessing. His angel. It was the first time he was able to see this presence. His angel took the form of a beautiful young teenaged boy. The angel was so beautiful, he took his breath away. Big innocent brown eyes, full pouty lips, yes the boy was a gift from the gods.

Just thinking of his angel made is demon stir in anticipation. 'No, not yet. Need to get strong before we hunt again.' He murmured to himself. His beast consented and quit the inner tirade, stretching his arms out he contentedly yawned and got into his car. He has a family at home to take care of. Driving down the street he asked himself what would they say if he told them of his hobby or of his angel.

Lightening struck along with thunder making itself known that Friday night. Sasuke didn't understand while being inside the karaoke club, he could still hear the sound of thunder. He felt a chill go down his spine and looked at his watch 10:55 p.m. shrugging his chill away he looked at his friends in their attempt to sing.

They most definitely have to do this again, he hadn't had this much fun with his friends in awhile. Though having fun, he couldn't get the sad look in Yukimura's face when he was asked to come out of his mind. 'Maybe we could get Shingen to get some spirit wards so the kid can have a life. He thought. Knowing his guardian's response he shook the thought from his head.

"Hey babe, what's with the face?" Kasuga asked sitting on her boyfriend's lap. She knew he was having fun, but at times he was occupied with bothersome thoughts at times. Sure he tried his best to put on a show of happiness, but he couldn't fool her. Knowing the only way to get him out of his mood, she boldly sat on his lap and pouted her full lips at him.

"Nothing Kasuga, just thinking." he said losing the sad look on his face, as he affectionately kissed her. She always knew how to make it better. If only he could confide in her Yukimura's situation, things would be easier.

"Ew get a room you two." came the voice Keiji. He sat down beside the two and started making kissing noises.

"Keiji, why don't you go hang out with your fan club over there and leave us alone." Kasuga said too sweetly to the boy.

"Aw and miss teasing you, you are much too fun to tease." came the response.

"Jealous much?" Asked Kasuga, never liking the boy, but tolerated him because of Sasuke.

"Nope, not at all Blondie, neither one of you are my type. And Monogamy isn't for me" came his replied smirking at the girl.

Kasuga got off of Sasuke and went to take her turn in singing, ignoring the long haired nuisance that ruined a perfect moment for the two lovebirds.

Keiji turned to his friend and was about to ask him what was wrong when he noticed the other boy look down at his left leg.

"Hey man what's up?" Keiji asked with mild concern.

Sasuke felt his left pocket vibrate. Curious as to who would call him he grabbed for his phone. "Saratobi Sasuke here."

"Sasuke, get home now. Yukimura is missing." came an almost calm voice of Takeda Shingen. Almost calm only meant big trouble. Without hearing a reply from the teen, the former General hung up the phone.

Sasuke sighed and got up from his seat. "Where the hell is that kid?" He said walking out of the club quickly without saying goodbye to anyone.

Keiji sat alone pondering what was said over the phone. 'So the puppy ran away?' he thought knowing he shouldn't have eavesdropped. But he couldn't help that Shingen Takeda was a loud talker. The only thing he could do is hope that the boy was ok.

"So did you like the movie Mouri?" Motochika asked as he was driving his boyfriend home. While driving he grabbed his cell phone an attempted to text Date.

"How could I? I was distracted. Someone can't keep their hands and mouth to themselves. Really can we for once go to a movie and actually watch one. " Mouri asked trying to look angry. Chōsokabe smirked at the comment, while Mouri couldn't help but have a small blush dust his cheeks.

" I wonder how Date is doing with his 'new friend'" Chōsokabe said changing the subject. He was getting worried that Masamune didn't reply to his texts, but then thought maybe his friend didn't want to be interrupted. ' I hope you aren't going to far with the kid.' he thought to himself.

" I am glad that we didn't meet up with them. That kid is no good." Mouri replied. He wasn't too thrilled to hang out with Date Masamune. He always was too loud and cocky. But he had to tolerate the loud mouth for Motochika's sake.

"You need to give him a change. Date is fun to hang around, you know."

" I guess, but I was actually referring to the other kid. That Yukimura kid that you were talking about. He is no good. He is trash and if you…."

"What is with you babe? What did he do to you? " Chōsokabe asked. Clearly confused. Yukimura seemed to be a nice enough guy, it seemed hard to not like the guy, but here Mouri seems to hate him.

"Don't worry about it. He is weird that is all. I don't like weird people." came the reply. When he first heard that Yukimura may be joining the group to see the movie, he was livid. He knew that Motochika didn't know about the kid, but he didn't want to be seen with him. His stupid smile, him trying to be someone's friend, his tears.

Since the first time Mouri Motonari saw Yukimura, he cause confusion in is calm world. He hated chaos. Well not all, for he was dating Chōsokabe, but he didn't like the emotions he was feeling when he thought of Sanada Yukimura. It only pissed him off more.

"So you think I am not weird. I knew you loved me!" Chōsokabe stated

"Shut up." Mouri said rolling his eyes not for the first time at the boy beside him.

Chōsokabe pulled the car over and unbuckled his seatbelt. "Mouri, make me shut up." he commanded as he leaned to the other boy,
