(Hey guys. I'm finally getting a chance to work. I think I will post a chapter for all four of my fanfics today. For fans and new readers: follow the link in my sig for more!)
Chapter 6: By Dark Design
A few days had gone by since we fought Lord Hokage. It didn't take long for the A-rank missions to come flooding in. We were in the Land of Water and our mission was to track down an Insurgent group from the Hidden Mist. Saimen, Koden and I had split up and we were all hunting down fugitives. My target was a Jonin level shinobi who, like me, had a bloodline limit. As I pursued my target he fired shots of Lava at me. I had to avoid or be melted. Often I countered with my own molten glass. I wasn't going to let him get away. One reason why we were doing this mission was because they had a captive from Konoha. She was a civilian girl that the insurgents wanted to ransom.
I pursued the man, using my far superior speed to close the gap. Suddenly he used Earth release and ducked underground. I followed him into a rather massive cave that was lit by candles. He didn't expect me to be able to follow him. He lead me right into their base. The man stood on the other side of the room. The girl dropped to the ground. A puddle of blood formed around her. I looked in horror as the man turned around, holding a bloody kunai.
Enraged, I had pillars of sharpened glass come up from the ground. The spears shot through his arms and up into the cieling. The man's arms and legs were trapped and held out as his body was suspended into the air. He screamed in agony as the wounds continued to bleed. I aproached the man and looked down at his miserable face.
"You are a dispicable person. I will enjoy doing this. I have wanted to test a jutsu. A rather vile jutsu. It is hard to test as it is rather inhumane. But considering your sins, I will have no problem torturing you," I said as I weaved a few handsigns. I brought my fingers up to my mouth. I bit down on my thumbs and caused them to bleed. I did the same with my other fingers as well. I held up my hands as the blood dripped down from all ten fingers down into both of my palms. Using chakra, I pooled the blood into the center of my palms. I brought my hands together. The blood between them smeared together. I the hand seals: Tiger, boar, snake, dog, dragon, tiger.
The man looked at me in awe and horror as my body physically changed. My skin turned pale. My black hair that spiked up, turned grey, fell down over my eyes and grew in leangth by a few inches. My nails came to a fine point on my hands and my canine teeth grew into two distinct fangs.
"Taboo Jutsu by Dark Design: Vampire Technique!" I declared as the man tried to break out of his trap. "I need you to be my guinea pig for a bit. Don't worry, it will only hurt... A LOT!" The man screamed but I payed no real attention to his insignificant fear. Just as he payed no attention to that girl's fear. "Test 1: Blood absorbtion and Limit release," I said as I bit down into his neck. I felt his blood flowing through my fangs. The blood turned to chakra that flowed through my body. I pulled away from the man after I had drained a sufficient ammount. "Record and stabalize," I said as I felt the chakra become part of mine. I felt a distinct change in my body. I turned away from the man and performed handsigns as a massive burst of Lava shot from my mouth. "Hm, it seems to have worked. I took your lava release."
"You bastard! I'll kill you!!!" He said but suddenly became winded.
"I doubt that. You see, even if you could move. You could not fight. When I drain blood from my oponent, they cannot use any chakra and almost all the chakra they had is drained anyway. It also leaves my oponent too physically weak to do much of anything for about a day. Tomarrow you will be able to use jutsu again. If you live that long. Test 2: Body Fang location transition and mind absorbtion," I said as the fangs in my mouth shortened and two small spikes appeared on my palm. I place the spikes on the mans forhead and quickly they pierced his skin and the spikes began to consume his blood. I pulled away from him.
"What I just did was by absorbing the blood in your head, I instantly learn everything you have ever known. However, I don't need all of it," I declared as I spat blood out of my mouth. "Some of it I filter out. Your memories, your personallity, your emotions and your dreams. All of it is worthless to me and I spit it out. All I require is information on using the jutsu I just stole as well as basic information. All of this is permanently stored in my memory. Well, I have one more test for you. Blood soul Lifespan absorbtion sacrifice!"
From my hand a fang grew out. The fang continued to grow and grow. More fangs began to branch off of it. The fang took the shape of a serated sword. It then bent up. The base of the fang turned into a hilt, completing the ritual fang blade. It disconected from my body and became a proper blade. I held it against the man's chest. Right over his heart. I began to plunge it in. By performing the ritual I take the man's lifeforce. However, the problem is that I need five minutes to do it and he must stay alive. But if I succeed. My lifespan will increase by the lifespan he has yet to use. This man is about 35 years old. So by performiing the ritual I should gain 45 years or so. Not only that but in an extreme emergency, If I am close to death, I can use his soul as a substitute for my own and I will be spared.
For a few minutes the man suffered as my blade slowely dug deeper into his body and out the other side. The blade finally went in all the way to the hilt. The 5 minutes where up. I visciously ripped the blade out of his body, taking his heart clean out of his chest. It had dried up as all the blood was being absorbed by the blade. It disintegrated into dust. His soul was visibly surrounding the blade in a purple cloud. It too was drawn into the fang. Finally, to end the ritual, the blade receeded back into my hand. The blood and his soul became part of me and my heart raced as my life span increased. Satisfied, I performed the handseals for going into vampire mode in reverse and I returned to my human form. I could feel my body had goten weak. Vampire mode uses a great amount of chakra. After going in a little chakra is used to start it. The hard part is getting out in which you offer all but a tiny portion of it. If you don't have enough chakra, you are trapped in vampire mode until you either steal enough chakra or build it up on your own.
My body was exhausted, but I had to finish the mission. I picked up the corpse of the girl and went outside. I found Saimen and Koden and told them that I found the man killing the girl and that I killed him by melting him in molten glass. They too had defeated their foes. Saiman was angry at me.
"You failed! Your inferior skills and jutsu caused you to fail and as a result this innocent girl is dead. This is why you don't send weaklings to do the important jobs," she hissed as she stormed off. Koden just looked at me with a disipointed stare. I hung my head in both shame and anger. It was not all my fault. I did not kill her. I did not hold the Kunai. Why is it my fault? Saimen. Why are you so cruel to me? Not everybody can be as perfect as the little Uchiha brat she is. She makes me so mad.
We went home. I was forced to tell the family the bad news and give them my apologies. That was the worst part of the mission. It made me feel good that I made that man suffer. But it is not enough to bring her back.
I went home. Depressed about the girl. Angry at my friends. And mystified by the success of my jutsu. I will not fail again.
