"Farewell, Sakumo." An dropped his head and murmured to himself. "I wished there's chance to see you again. But, there won't be a way..."

Seal was uplifted, the structure of the maze was removed, now it's his turn to take Medusa to her new resident, a more suitable one, at least it would have been closer to Lucifer, if the said Fallen Angel lured in the Hell. There were not many options that he could choose from. The younger generation that were converted from human were weak, and that the vampire born were not suitable medium either. No one was as capable as Kakashi was, partly due to the fact that the Hatake was a legendary family for no reason and that especially Kakashi, born by the blood of himself and the energy of Tsuki. In some way, An could not deny the destiny as how rare, how exotic to find anyone who was as suitable as he was when he was a child. Besides, even though the Sasaki was not in danger, they were as safe as some of the clansman would have thought. Keeping two archangel's desire together, when they were so closely together never sounds logical. He has to let Medusa go, somewhere that keep away from the humans. The greed of the human beings could stain her further, and An has already seen the darkness in behind her innocent face.

Shikaku sighed as he sent another messenger eagle away to Inoichi, who was waiting at the foot of the mountain. Sandaime and himself, as well as a few higher level priest have a late discussion before he and the small team set off. The old man was right about the vampire leader. "He's playing fire. Such a thin line between genius and insanity, I wonder whether would An of the Sasaki would have stand." He tilled his head as he used his right hand to support as he sat cross legged. Nothing he could actually do, other than look carefully and record everything carefully with his eyes. The vampire leader would have known about the skills that Inoichi has processed, he felt that in some extend, the leader was similar to mortal, after all, wanting the world to be overwhelmed by what he has succeed. By the way that the vampire has gathered the nine nine-tailed, no one would have ever achieved. Inviting the old foxes to come without force, it has shown what diplomat skills that the vampire leader has. Such talent to make him the oldest leader that the Konoha would have aware of.

"It would be done within a minute," An whispered to himself, as Kakashi, who was closest to him has passed out, knocked down by An himself as there would be a huge, unbearable pain as Sakumo's spirit break away, lifting the maze along with him. "Open the gate and pull the lady out," he whispered his plan, keeping his focus. He was absorbing some of Medusa's energy irvolunteeringly, due to the way that he has contained Lucifier's desire. The monster was rejoicing, liking what it has in front of him, his love, his desire. "The world would have shaken if you have any part of this," An mumbled. He grabbed another scroll quickly as even with the Kitsune, there would be a small amount of time for him.

"Open," he ordered as he lifted his black katana, Sumizome and pushed it into the hole that was surrounded by another small alchemist's circle. All three of them, Sumizome, Tsuki and An have started to gather their energy inside the katana as soon as they decided on such experiment. He simply wished that he has collected enough. The earth shook as the largest alchemist's circle, where Kakashi was lying, cracked open, letting the vampire floating on top.

Heat from the deepest of the Hell blew, blasting the surrounding, even the kitsune used their tails to protect their nose. But, once the heat blasted out, there was only darkness. Cold air rushed out, gradually, peeping under the skin. It was the coldness from the deepest part of earth. Small dots of blue-ish white light scattered around the surface, like diamonds in its original ore. The environment could be improved once he transferred Medusa. He leaned forward as he reached for Kakashi's abdomen. His hand went though the skin as if it was made out of liquid. He shivered as he registered the coldness of snake skin via his finger tips. He pushed softly, bit by bit, forcing the female out.

"I knew it, An," the snake hair entangled and trapped An's hand, pulling the vampire closer, his right shoulder almost into Kakashi's body.

"An - sama," Tenzo stunned lowly, stepped slightly away from Naruto. He was heavily involved and so he knew that there was something went wrong. Yet, he didn't know why. He wanted to help but no one can't go in even the old foxes themselves.

"I knew what you would have planned," Medusa hissed elegantly, sending chills down people spine if they heard. But it did not affect An.

"I have to," An replied in monotone. "You know this, there's no way I won't do it."

Medusa did not say a word but attacked the vampire with her hand, as she jumped out. An's hand managed to reach Tsuki but paused as it was need to keep the "gate" of Hell opened. Therefore, he rolled towards Sumizome, where Medusa attacked at the same time he arrived.

Chest ripped open by the sharp nails. "Argh," An hissed. Blood rushed out, as his heart was exposed in the air. He thought of resistance, a flight was prepared, but never thought he couldn't response fast enough. Peaceful days seems to have slowed him down. No one could help as no one could step into the circle, except... "Ah... " he exclaimed softly, as black feathers dropped lightly, brushed his face gently. "Lu..." he murmured.

Medusa was lifted up, the Fallen Angel's hand cramped tightly at her draw. She rolled her eyes, looked at the small opening that she made on An's abdomen. 'Almost there,' she thought. 'Almost. I would have taken Lucifer sama's desire as mine.' She then turned and looked into the coldness of the grey eyes, the eyes that she has dreamt of everyday. She shivered in happiness as she felt the cold from the hands that she has dreamt of, exploring her body in her wildest dreams. "Lucifer sama," she called softly, as seducing as she could.

To be continued...

AUTHOR'S NOTE

I think I have flipping Medusa's true nature out. Stunned or its nothing? Definitely would like to hear your comment.

Prescripto13: yes exactly. With such power gathered up, Sandaime would have been out of his mind if sending no one to investigate.
