Chapter 3: Blood and Mercy
Sasuke walked back to his car in a daze. Sinking into the drivers seat he stared at the steering wheel, not really seeing it. His body felt strangely disconnected from his mind as if the two were separate entities poorly trying to occupy the same space. His encounter with Naruto had opened a floodgate of questions and doubt, and Sasuke’s brain felt like it was drowning. If there was already a clan here, why had his sent him? And how could there be one here? There were only two others besides his own and they were nowhere near here. But how else would Naruto know what he was, unless he’d encountered a hunter before? Was Naruto a hunter? Was he part of the clan that was here? He certainly had skill with a blade to be able to stand against Sasuke. Normal people didn’t just know how to sword fight like that. He had to have learned it from somewhere.
Sasuke attempted to turn the door knob that would allow him entrance to his apartment, but it was locked and he’d been so distracted that he ended up failing to decrease his own momentum and walked straight into the door. He blinked and stepped backwards rubbing his forehead. He’d apparently driven himself all the way home, parked, and walked up to his door without being conscious of doing so. He searched his pockets for his keys, furiously jamming them into the lock.
Casting is sword and forgotten pistol aside he began to tear every book he owned off the shelf, one of these must have something that could give him answers. Books had never failed him before, but as the sun rose the next morning, Sasuke was still empty handed.
He lay on the hard wooden floor staring up at the ceiling. His beloved books scattered the floor around him. Pock marks dented the walls where he’d thrown several of them in anger. He sighed, and as he sat up and his eyes fell on Brother, still laying haphazardly across the entrance way.  There was a sharp pang in his heart. The person he’d wanted to talk to most in times like this had always been Itachi. His brother never failed to know the right thing to do, and Sasuke had trusted him above anyone else. At least, he thought he did. But now Itachi was gone and the trust was betrayed. He briefly entertained the thought of calling his parents for advice, but idea quickly disappeared as he was far too stubborn to admit that kind of defeat just yet. Asking Itachi would be one thing, but calling home to mommy and daddy because the blond idiot had confused him, was another beast altogether. However, he just might know someone who was likely to have the answers he now desperately sought. He would just have to find a way to make him talk.

The problem was that Naruto was nowhere to be found. He’d stopped showing up to school, and Sasuke knew nothing about him to even be able to search for him. He wasn’t even in
the system as having an address, and since no one at the school liked him, there wasn’t anybody he could ask. He knew how track and kill ever monster in the book, but now he couldn’t even find one human boy.
Kiba had returned to school that week and had been sure to keep his distance from Sasuke. That was still a problem he would need to deal with. Along with that, Sasuke has encountered someone else at the school that had concerned him. A red haired boy, a senior, who gave off a demonic aura unlike like any of the demons Sasuke had fought before. Somehow this one was different, but he didn’t understand how. If he killed Kiba, and this was another clans territory, there could be serious complications between his clan and this one. It was possible that it could even start a war. If there was no clan and he attempted to kill the demon boy without fully understanding what he was, he could die. And once again Sasuke didn’t have the answers he needed, and no means of getting them.

Sasuke had taken to walking around the city after school in hopes of finding anything that might possibly point him in the right direction. He had never felt lost like this before. Tonight he found himself walking along a dimly lit side street on the edge of the city. It had been raining the past few days and Sasuke clutched an umbrella in his left hand and a heavy coat bundled against the cold. He liked the rain. The smell of the damp earth and rhythmic beating had a calming effect on his soul. He’d never understood how something that Was so rejuvenating to him could cause others to be so miserable and gloomy.
A dark car with tinted windows pulled up to the curb several meters behind him. Sasuke watched from the corner of his eye as A hooded figure whose stature suggested a male, stepped out of the back seat. He didn’t look in his direction but closed the door behind him and leaned forward resting his arm on the roof. The window rolled down and an arm donning and expensive looking suit reached a handful of cash that was snatched by the hooded figure. Sasuke turned away feeling he’d just witnessed some sort of either a drug or sex dealing, and continued down the street. He hated this city. The night was cold enough that the rain had now turned to snow. Large dime sized pieces fell almost in slow motion before him. He hadn’t walked far when something caught is interest. There was girl with long dark hair sitting on low garden wall outside and abandoned looking house not far in front of him. She wore a light pink summer dress. No one else paid her any mind as the passed or even glanced her way to notice her strange attire or the fact that she was dry despite sitting in the snow, and Sasuke knew why. The girl had a faint silvery glow about her aura that marked her as one of the dead.
He moved closer, drawing the cleansing rune in his right hand holding it on the his index and middle finger down at his side. She didn’t seem concerned as she watched him with large dark eyes, smiling as he approached to send her away from this world and into the one that waited beyond. Her smile caused Sasuke to pause, and as he stood watching her, a hand closed over the two fingers holding the rune and dismissed the spell. The hooded figure stood beside him revealing himself to be none other than Naruto.
Sasuke opened his mouth to either demand answers or curse the boy for again disrupting his goals, but Naruto beat him to it.
“Haku,” He said looking fondly at the girl. “Many years ago a man named Zabuza lived in that house with his wife. Haku was the mans lover. One day the wife came home early, and found her husband in bed with another man.” As he spoke he twirled the string of a necklace about his throat that bore a a small blue gem. “Enraged, and believing the boy to be a demon to have bewitched her husband so, she removed the shotgun from the wall and shot the boy through the chest. Zabuza murdered her in return. It was snowing  the night that the police took Zabuza away, and now each time when it snows, Haku sits on that wall And waits for his precious one to return.” He turned back to Sasuke, “His words not mine.” And then very seriously added, “Haku is not an enemy. What code do you even hunt by? Neither of the targets Ive watched you go after are guilty.”
“They are all the enemy. Thinking a story is sad does not redeem a monster for being what it is.” He bit back. The teachings of his clan had been clear. If it wasn’t of this world, it was to be sent back to the hell it came from.
“How very honorable of you.” Naruto mocked him.
“I don’t need lectures in honor from someone who sells them self for money.”
Naruto smiled, unfazed, and shrugged, “Guys got to eat.” He shrugged. “Speaking of, I’m late.” He brushed passed Sasuke started across the street. “If you touch Haku, I won’t have a choice but to kill you.” He shouted back over his shoulder.
“Wait!” Sasuke hurried after him. “I have questions you need to answer.”
“I’m sure you do, but you’re wrong on the part where I need to answer them.” He stopped and Turned back to Sasuke. “I don’t like you. You are arrogant, narrow minded, ignorant, and I owe you nothing. If you want answers talk to the clan.”
“Yes, anyone is preferable to you, but how do I find them?”
“Take a walk through the woods. They’ll find you.” He saluted Sasuke in dismissal and walked away.

So there Sasuke was, standing on the deserted, muddy main trail that led into the heart of Konoha forest. He’d been walking for quite sometime and was starting to feel as though he’d been sent on a wild goose chase. The night was cold but the snow had finally stopped. What little had stuck to the ground would be gone by morning. He was just about to turn and head home, cursing his own stupidity, when he heard something behind him. The snapping of twigs underfoot sounded from the dark cluster of trees. He watched, hand poised and ready to draw Brother if he needed. It was a woman who stepped of the trees onto the trail. Only, she wasn’t a woman, as she was far to tall and slender and her white hair shone unnaturally in the moonlight. She wore a long, black, revealing dress that made her pale skin look even whiter. She smiled at Sasuke and stepped closer, red eyes fixed on his own. She drew her hand up as her her finger elongated into daggers, but as Sasuke’s hand flew to his sword, he was thrown backwards. Landing hard in the mud, he heard a young female voice above him say kindly, “Sorry, but this one is mine.” He looked up to see the pink haired girl from class standing in front of him. Her long hair was tied back in a lose pony tail. She was clothed in black from head to toe except for the green vest she wore baring a red leaf. All were splattered with mud. She faced away from him with her hand was thrust behind her towards Sasuke where she had shoved him. The other had held a shied run infront of her that the demon was furiously clawing at. “Move! I can’t hold her much longer.” Sasuke scrambled to his feet and drew his sword as girl released the shield with shockwave that sent the demon flying into the trees.
“What-“ Sasuke began but the demon had returned. Sakura knocked it down again and drew her own sword from her waist. Sasuke stared, amazed. The falchion sword she held in her hand appeared to be made entirely of crystal. He knew this sword, had read of it as a child. Apparently so had the demon.
“That blade!” She shrieked in fear.
“You’ve heard of it?” She held the sword in front of her, the crystal shining menacingly in the moonlight. “Yes! This is Mercy!” The demon screamed in rage. Her beautiful face contorted as she began to transform. Arms and legs lengthened, as more sprouted from her back. Giant fangs took the place of her mouth and her eyes multiplied, turning a glowing red. Sakura smiled and attacked. She fought with a tenacity unlike anything Sasuke had seen in a swordsman. Mercy. It was one of the seven blades made of God Crystal that first appeared in his spell books from hundreds of years ago. Thought to be a perfect weapons they could cut through anything, never dulled, and somehow had the properties needed to slay any beast or creature. Sasuke had only ever thought of them as a legend, a fairy tale for small children. The lost weapons of gods. How could such a thing exist? But here one was, right in front of him, being wielded by a 16 year old girl as if it was an extension of her own body. She blocked strikes from the eight legs with speed that spoke years of training. One of the legs caught her on the shoulder and knocked her down, but she used the momentum to roll herself under the huge spider and stab it in the belly. The Demon howled in pain, and as the attacks stopped Sakura got to her feet and swung Mercy and the demons throat, beheading it. Green Ichor sprayed from its neck as the body collapsed to the muddy ground .
His classmate sheathed her sword and threw a fire rune at the body. It disintegrated almost instantly. She turned on her heel and strode  back down the path. When Sasuke didn’t follow she added, looking back at him over her injured shoulder, “Arent you coming? I thought you wanted answers.”
