Blood or Love?

Chapter 2- A...Friend?

(Kakashi POV)

As soon as I heard the door close, I closed my book.

I couldn't concentrate on the words as they blurred together, my mind drifting off to think about Akuma.

'She always comes home without a scratch on her, but still...Where the heck does she go in that Village? Its none of my business, but it's killing me. Sorry Akuma, but only this once I'll follow you.'

I walked out the door and jumped from rooftop to rooftop, quickly wanting to catch up to Akuma.

(Akuma POV)

'The sun's almost setting. Dammit. I really should stop looking for kill.'

By kill, I meant a small animal or even better, a rouge ninja that looked weak or useless.

'I would love to kill villagers, but Kakashi would lecture me and I would be banned from the village for sure.'

As my walk became a run, I heard a rustle in the trees. I paused and held out my sword, glaring. A figure went down from the branches.

I threw a kuani in his direction, not afraid to kill, but didn't want to waste anymore time. He dodged it, looking a tad bit surprised.

Looking at his headband, he was from the same village as me. He had brown hair, which was covered wih his hood, and had red fang tattoos on his cheeks. On his head was a small white dog. He wore a grey jacket which was lined with black fur. His brown pants went up to his ankles.

I raised an eyebrow. "Who...Are you?" I slowly asked. His eyes widned. "Oh, you're Akuma!" My eyes narrowed. 'Screw it. Who cares about his name?'

I ran after him with my sword and he jumped on a tree, dodging my move. "Name's Kiba Inuzuka and I never planned on attacking you!" he said, wanting me to stop.

I threw my sword to a tree and stood on it. I was next to him, giving him my death glare.

"And why should I believe you?" "There would be no purpose in killing or attacking you."

I raised and eyebrow. " ....I have nothing against you, but if I sense you following me, I'll kill you without mercy." I jumped off my sword and pulled it out from the tree.

Saying nothing, I started to run towards my destination. I felt footsteps behind me and I froze.

"Do you want to die?" I threatned. Kiba put his hands up in surrender. "I swear I won't attack you, but let me come with you?" he begged.

"Why?""Its getting dark, I'm bored, and you seem like youre going to do something interesting."

"Go find something else to do with your life and leave me alone. I will kill you." Kiba looked hesitant.

"Akuma....Let's be friends!" Kiba exclaimed, holding out his hand. I was shocked, my eyes widening.

"Friends?" I repeated, not moving a muscle in my body. I snapped to my senses. "W-What? Why me? I live in your village! You know who I am! I'm a murderer-A Bloodthirsty Demon." My voice shook and I sounded so uncool...

"Lonely" he said. I was confused.

"I've seen you since our academy days together. You tried making friends, but they ignored you. I watched as you went to a corner and cried. But I was so stupid that I also ignored you. I regret it a lot, Akuma. So please, let's be friends" he said, smiling.

"You...saw me...?" I said aloud in disbelief.

Flashback...

I nervously walked toward a two girls, my hands behind my back. They were laughing together, joking around.

"H-Hello..." I quietly stammered. I was new in the village and I desperatley tried to make friends since I came here.

"M-My name is-" "Hey, did you hear something?" one girl asked the other. "No, I didn't..."

"Oh, then it must've been an annoying fly. Let's go somewhere else. This fly is getting on my nerves" the girl complained and walked away with the other.

"What a annoying brat" I heard them whisper and glanced at me.

I walked away and went in a alley. I buried my face into my legs and tears streamed from my eyes. 'What did I ever do to them...?' I thought as more tears poured down my cheeks.

"Kiba! What are you doing there?" a boys voice yelled. I lifted my face from my legs, frightened that someone might have seen me.

"No reason" a boy replied and heard footsteps walk away. I resumed crying. 'What did I do...? I thought once more.

End of Flashback...

"Kiba..." I repeated the name. "Do you remember now?" I nodded slowly.

I didn't know either to hate him and kill him or forgive him and take his hand. My body slowly moved on its own.

I held out my hand and hesitated. 'Kill him...? Forgive him...?' I had a war in my mind. My hand was slowly clenching and unclenching in frustration.

Kiba looked worried. He walked over to me and wrapped his arms around me. I was in shock.

'So warm...' I thought. 'And so comforting....' I slowly let go of my sword and returned his hug. A few tears fell from my eyes.  'Forgive him' My mind decided.

'Wait. What am I doing? Let go, Akuma, let go...' I ordered myself. I let go of Kiba and picked up my sword.

"Friends...Sure..." I mumbled and started walking towards my destination again. Kiba smiled and walked next to me. "So where are we going?" he asked.

"The Village Hidden in the Sand."
