After a while all of their eyes sight began to focus back to normal as they heard voices, "Shikamaru, Ino, guys! What happened? Your eyes looked freaky!" it was Ten Ten, "Is it some kind of new technique, amazing! We will have to fight together again and see if I can beat it!" Lee said coming up from behind her, his eyes were burning with excitement. Enemy? Kiba could hear the question in his head and looked over to see Naruto who looked at the previous two.
Naruto, it is Ten Ten and Lee. Not enemy's, friends, remember? he thought to see if it would work and reach him, and by the reaction it had. Naruto grabbed his head like it was going to blow up and mentally yelled WHAT! Thanks for telling me, I don't want to hurt my friends but I can't tell who are my friends! Dang it! It seemed like they should be able to tell but in reality their vision had really changed, all they could do was smell at the time. All they knew was that the people in their coven all had this specific sent that made them feel calmer while one person had this sent that made them feel like ripping his guts out, the rest were just random and confusing to them.
They tried to explain the situation, dodging words that might not be good to use in this situation, but the entire time they all felt a growing need to get rid of the other guy. "Alright, let us help you!" Lee yelled out, his eyes burning more profusely then before. "Yeah, we are your friends after all." Ten Ten said bringing out a weapon. "I don't know if it is a good idea." Choji said lightly "Nonsense! We will help you guys out!" Lee's eyes looked like they were going to set flame to what ever got near him at this point. "Alright, but be carful." Shikamaru warned them.
They all took off then after the 'man' that had invaded the village. The figure of the man was all they could really see at this point, after chasing it through the town for a while he stopped. He was a bit ahead of them and by the looks of it he was attacking someone again. This time it was Kurenai, she was just recently discovered to be pregnant and Shikamaru had been entrusted with its safety by his, also recently, killed teacher. He was not going to let this one slide, not by a mile.
He ran ahead of the rest and attacked the man managing to get him away from her safely. Upon closer inspection he was able to see that the man before him was a 'former' hidden mist ninja, which meant that more then likely he knew water style techniques amongst other ninja arts. "Shikamaru!" Kurenai yelled as she stood behind him "Get somewhere safe!" he told at her and she quickly left. The others soon were there too and were ready to fight.
"So the coven was bigger. You could at least have turned them all. Perhaps I can help you with that." he said evilly. What did he mean by that? What is he planning? these are the thoughts running through Ten Ten's mind. He then vanished and reappeared next to her claws and fangs at the ready. She was nearly caught and would have if Kakashi hadn't come and intercepted the attack with his own. The enemy mainly attacked the human part of the group the entire time while the attacks were either dodged or counter attacked. However the counter attacks never made contact, he always dodged out of the way.
After a while the man began to laugh at them "You will never beat me like that." he told them. Most of them understood what he was saying, but Lee and Ten Ten had no idea what he meant when he said that. At the laughter Naruto got ticked off and began to go demon on him. He was so ticked that he went straight to four tail form, and for the first time an attack hit the enemy. Ten Ten and Lee saw what happened when he did though, the wound healed a few seconds slower then instantly but still faster then a normal person by far.
Shikamaru looked at Naruto and broke into a cold sweat out of fear. His eyes looked more demonic and terrifying then ever before, they were still black but had a sliver of red in the center that seemed to radiate hate. It made him look almost soulless or completely controlled by evil, either case it made him scared for his life just by looking at him. He tried to keep his calm but, just like the others, he was subconsciously backing away from the enraged boy.
The enemy was not much different, he had a look that clearly said 'Oh crap'. This however was the time that Ten Ten decided to ask "What is going on?", at this she was met with uncertainty. You should tell them. They will learn soon anyway. At this point they had figured out who was who and this time it was undeniably Kakashi. Shikamaru had fun trying to explain everything to the two as he also tried to keep from getting attacked by the enemy vampire, or in other case Naruto.
"I see, so that is what happened back then." Ten Ten said taking everything in. "Amazing, to think they went through something like that! My respect for them has only grown! As a friend please allow me to assist you in this fight!" Lee said eyes burning anew. "Guess it can't be helped, I mean we are friends after all. Not to menschen they would do the same for us." Ten Ten said with a smiling. At that point they went though what the others had went through just recently. They were all officially in the coven now.
After a few minuets they snapped out of it to find they were about to get attacked. Bushy brow, take off your weights! Lee heard in his head. Good idea, with them off he should be able to match speed better. Lee was already starting to get used to everything, Ten Ten on the other hand was more then confused. They dodged the attack and then Lee took off the weights. With his enhanced speed he was almost able to out run the vampire.
Not long after Lee took off the weights, the enemy decided to get more serious and began using ninja arts. The first move he made was to produce a fog that blinded the group entirely. However it didn't seem to effect the vampire members of the group, as they could really see in the first place. The human members left leaving the rest to their non-human friends. However this was the point where Shikamaru remembered something important he had read an ran off mentally yelling his plan to the rest.
The followed his plan and stalled the enemy as best as they could, waiting for Shikamaru. Naruto on the other hand was a danger to all of them at the time, even though he mainly aimed for the enemy. It was hard but they managed to keep him busy till Shikamaru returned, now the second part of the plan had to unfold.
They were able to use Naruto to distract the enemy till he finally came out of the mist and into the trap Shikamaru had set. As he came out Shikamaru lunged at him, catching him by surprise and staked him threw the heart. With this he slowly began to disintegrate into ask and dust, and in the end leaving nothing but a left over stake in the ground. "If I'm right, and this guy was the one that turned you, then-" Shikamaru stopped short of finishing his sentence when he looked over at his friends who's eyes were going back to normal, fangs and claws going back in, and...color was returning to their skin.
They all went to the hospital and were checked out quickly, and were also asked many questions before they were told anything. Naruto, having calmed down ever since the intruders absence, was unsure what to tell them or what to do. At the end of their check ups they were told this "Well if everything you said was true, then it has reversed and you are no longer what you were. You are normal." They were confused, How is that possible? they all wondered.
As they got out of the hospital Shikamaru explained to them "When I was in the library looking up what you all were I stumbled across something. The text said that if the one that turned another is slain then the one turned will go back to normal. Then it also talked about ways to slay a vampire. I mainly disregarded the chapter, but in the end it seems to have helped us out." With this came rehab for the ones who had gotten used to being vampires. It took a while but they were able to get back to how things were before, Naruto was the happiest of the group due to the fact he was reunited with ramen.
They all stayed close after that, Naruto and Hinata were still together, Sakura and Sasuke as well. They felt that they may have owed that vampire for something after all. If it wasn't for him it may have taken longer before Sasuke was captured, they wouldn't be this close to each other, after all nothing says close like being able to read each others minds, and if it wasn't for him then Naruto and Hinata might not have discovered how much they cared for each other.
Hope you enjoyed.
