Angel

(Pairings: SasukexHinata
Lemon: None)

His hand reached for his Requiem and stayed there as soon as they get down from the car. His dark eyes scanned the place warily while Hinata double-checked the address the man gave them as she spoke.

"Yes we're here." Sasuke merely nodded as he continued to take in the large and somewhat damp stone walls looming over them, the narrow alleyway and the wooden door on the wall where the alley led. Under the moonlight they were so accustomed to now, the scene sent a faint tingle up his spine, enforcing his usual suspicious of a spiritual presence.

"The man said this was where he woke up after the 'angel' saved them. Matches what the others said too."Hinata paused. When no response came, she raised one slender hand and pointed to the door.

"To be exact, they all said they woke up there." With her other hand, she folded the paper and slipped it back into her black jacket before turning her large gray eyes on him. "Sasuke?"

"Go ahead, I'll cover you." The rule was simple; the Sensor always takes the front while the Guardian watched her back. Jiisan had taught them that on their first training session as paranormal detectives. He also taught them—especially Sasuke—to be on guard for every single moment, but Sasuke allowed his eyes to stray onto Hinata's delicate face, just in time to catch that simple smile only she had before she turned and started walking. As always, Sasuke held back a smile of his own while his shoulders tensed and his eyes returned to survey the scene. He must never let his guard down; one slip could easily cause either one of them their lives.

His fingers gripped harder on Requiem as they slowly approached the door. A few meters from there, Hinata stopped and raised a hand, her body stiffening as she closed her eyes and started forming a familiar seal with her hands. Her Sensor ability activated, Hinata directed her focus onto the door as she whispered "Ringu Kenshutsu ("Soul Detect")."

In the presence of spiritual energy, the colors started to form in her mind. They came slowly in medium waves, the streams of red and white flowing and pouring steadily, rolling into a form, a form shaped like a…

The door creaked. Instinctively, Sasuke hunched over in preparation.

Hinata's eyes shot open as she reached for the whip fastened at her waist. "A crucifix, Sasuke. A medium one here." She whispered as she crouched lower herself, preparing herself for anything.

"Shirudogan("Shield Eyes")." They said in unison, triggering off the ancient protection against hypnotism for their eyes. Red gathered around the irises of Sasuke's eyes then spreading over them, giving Sasuke his famous red eyes. Hinata's irises however, stayed gray though tinged with lavender.

The door creaked again. Warily, Sasuke drew his gun out of his halter and Hinata released her whip from its catch before she spoke. "The 'angel'…"

"Isn't what…Get back!" Sasuke's voice raised in mid-crash as he dashed forward, shielding Hinata with his own body the moment the door exploded hard from within. His cloak flared outward, sheltering themselves from the shattering wood shards as a dark figure lunged violently through the door with a wild hiss of anger. From the safety behind Sasuke's back, Hinata snatched a glance to confirm what she had seen. Originally a beautiful young man, the 'angel's lips were now twisted into an angry snarl with two long glistening fangs as he fell back to the ground soundlessly.

"You knew." He paused only to spit out the words before coming again for them.

Three cracks of the Requiem sounded through the air, sending him leaping backwards. Two bullets were dodged, but the last grazed across the creature's pale skin, leaving a small wisp of smoke across the side of his head. He winced in pain, but the fire of lust and hunger in his eyes only grew stronger as he looked past Sasuke and quickly fixed his eyes on Hinata, taking in her pretty face and slender body. Setting his feet back on the ground, a smirk spread across his pale face immediately and he licked his blood red lips in hunger. He blinked, and bright crimson flared from his eyes. His voice softened into the lulling tones of a lover.

"Come here, my sweet doll…"

In spite of the shield over her eyes, Hinata felt them widen as she gasped aloud before Sasuke hurriedly clapped a hand over her eyes—but the damage was done. The temptation of his beckon struggled only for a brief instance with Hinata's Shirudogan before it overcame it, seeping through to her heart and soul. A blush sprang to Hinata's cheeks. Her heart quickened, resounding with a strange warmth which started spreading across her body as she felt a sudden strong desire to be held in those outspread arms, a swift deep urge to lay her head on his chest, a immediate great thirst to taste those crimson lips…

Yet before she could move, Sasuke's anxious cry stopped her in her tracks, cutting off all flow of desires and lust.

"Don't!" Hinata flinched at once, looking up into Sasuke's anxious eyes. She blinked rapidly, regaining her senses just in time to see a hissing shadow looming overhead. Her hands tightened on Sasuke's shirt, pulling him backwards even as she cried out a warning.

"Look out!" They moved barely out of the creature's way just in time as he came slashing through the air, his crooked and extended fingernails narrowly missing Sasuke's back. Pulling the two of them further away, Hinata lifted her other hand and her whip flashed through the air, deftly avoiding Sasuke and striking the creature in his shoulder. An enraged roar came in return, followed by a lunge forward before Sasuke aimed and sent Requiem's last three bullets to his way.

"Child's play." The creature smirked as he easily dodged the bullets again, only to end up meeting Sasuke who had darted forward in the lapse of movement to deliver a hard upward thrust of his knee to his ribs followed by a quick upper kick, sending him momentarily into the air. The creature's surprise on his face was evident, for no human had matched his speed and strength before. Flippin over in the air, he slashed once more with his claws only to reach air. Returning his smirk, Sasuke sent him back almost at once to the ground with another kick across his midsection, finishing off with a series of well-placed hard blows just below his ribs, churning the air out of him just before he slammed back to the ground.

The pleasure of seeing Hinata's eyes of wonder was incomparable to his satisfaction of hearing the slight crack under his fists a few seconds earlier. Sasuke silently thanked Jiisan for his extreme training in combat and leapt at once to her side after his opponent fell. "Buy me some time, Hinata." he whispered before slipping aside with a black vial pulled out from his pocket.

One minute will do. He never wished to leave any fight even for a few seconds, but Jiisan always warned that the use of sunlight would burn anyone who did not own the strong physical defense of a Guardian. Hoping that his beatings could keep the creature away from Hinata at least for a moment, Sasuke looked away from her and hastily whispered, "Kyokai("Boundary")," setting a boundary to separate himself and Hinata. Knowing now that Hinata would not be burnt, he formed the Boka ("Fire Protection")hand signal to protect himself from the flame he was going to remove from the vial.

Meanwhile, the creature was slowly getting up again in front of Hinata. Knowing what Sasuke was doing, Hinata forced herself to not look back to her Guardian as he staggered onto his feet. He seemed to have regained at least some of his breath. Quickly Hinata moved. Her whip streaked through the air again and struck him in the center of his chest, drawing some blood. Yet he did not even flinch. Wiping the blood shakily from his mouth, he merely chuckled much to Hinata's wonder. Then she realized why as his eyes flared crimson, and he began to speak again. Quickly she closed her eyes and turned away, only to open them at once this time at his call.

""Sa…Sasuke?" She stuttered in confusion, nearly dropping her whip as she turned back to see a familiar form in front of her.

"Damn!" Looking up from the sunlight he now extracted from the vial, Sasuke cursed aloud as he saw himself standing where the creature had been seconds ago. He held the same face, the same voice; the same arrogance, the same proud figure but Sasuke was sure that he held a very different love for Hinata. I need the bullet fast! Ignoring his burnt fingers, he forced his attention back to the cartridge he was trying to fill.

On the other hand, the impostor merely nodded with a rare smile, a strange tempting smile as he held out his hands boldly to the pretty little thing he could almost feel under his fangs. Hinata, darling Hinata, you would not refuse your lover would you? He mused as he called out again. "Come to me, my dear Hinata…"

A warm flush grew over Hinata's fair cheeks. The whip slipped from her grasp. It was Sasuke…Sasuke calling for her…The strangely pleasant warmth returned, along with her strong desire for the only love and comfort she had ever wanted. But strangely, her feet still remain planted on the ground. Why? Why won't they move? It was Sasuke, wasn't it? It was Sasuke calling her name again and again, and yet her feet still refused to move...

The bullet slipped in place. Sasuke called out before returning to her side.

"Hinata!" She turned her head at once, and Hinata remembered that there was a hard pull at her shoulders. Then there was a crack and a purple flash, followed by a howl of intense pain and the fight was suddenly over.

"You had the sunlight for ultraviolet bullets," Hinata said later as they watched the police drove away; the case was closed. "You knew it all along?"

Standing beside her, Sasuke made sure his Requiem was back in place before he responded. "He's either a vampire or a shapeshifter. More towards a vampire."

"Because of all his nightly appearances, beauty, superhuman strength and the victims' loss of memory after they were saved as well as momentary fatigue and a headache aftermath?"

"Yeah," Sasuke nodded. "I only include the shapeshifter because no puncture wounds were reported…guy's a smart vampire who's been posing as an angel and saving others from rushing cars and nasty robbers only to have the victims to himself. He's no 'angel', though he's merciful enough to have never killed before."

"He said he used a disguise charm to hide the puncture wounds until they fade away by themselves. Is that why you didn't kill him?"

"Che, he'd be getting his punishment behind bars; it's always harsh for anyone to be in a cage—Jiisan told them to put him in an extra strong one—though he may enjoy himself a little if he had a chance…" Sasuke smirked as he imagined the bloody 'treats' their vampire may get by himself once in a while in prison from his inmates. "And he did save many lives; guy was just too hungry. That's why he was so violent and desperate when we came…"

Sasuke's voice trailed away, and they fell silent. From the corner of her eye, Hinata saw Sasuke looking faraway, his former shadows returning to his eyes. She knew he was remembering his days on the street—the days after his family's accident, the days before Master found him and also took her from the orphanage, days before their training began. Those were days Sasuke rarely mentioned, days Hinata never asked him about. She said nothing. There were so many things words could not do, so as usual she remained silent until he spoke again.

"You have to work more on your Shirudogan."

"Ha…hai…," She knew Sasuke was right; she had been focusing on so much Ringu Kenshutsu lately that she had neglected her practice in Shirudogan. Hinata blushed, remembering the temptation which had come through her weak defense. More recollections came, and the warmth grew. She quickly looked down to play with her fingers, hoping that he would not comment on her weak resistance.

A glance at her own hands reminded Hinata of Sasuke's burnt fingertips.

"Your hands…" Turning towards Sasuke, she gently pulled him to her as she took his hands gently to look at his wounds. She did not notice the tender look in his eyes as he looked down at her, so the sudden snatch of one hand away from her and the shove from the back of her head caught her in full surprise.

"I don't want to lose you, Hinata..." Looking up from his chest, Hinata could barely trace the outline of Sasuke's face, which was turned away. "Not to anyone else, not even to any sucker vampire who used my face and my voice…"

His voice was quiet, very quiet. It was unlike the lulling tones of the vampire, it was just plain Sasuke. The tenderness and love was there all the same, in his own quiet way; in his fierce protection of her, in his silent press of her head against his chest. Hinata smiled. With the heartbeat she had grown to love so much beating in gentle thumps in her ears, she remembered why her feet never moved then in spite of hearing his voice and seeing his face. One arm went around him as she lifted their other connecting hands to her lips.

"You don't have to worry..." Her cheeks grew rosier while he waited patiently for her to finish kissing his fingertips before she continued. "My heart always knew that there is only one angel for me...only one Sasuke Uchiha."

Sasuke said nothing; but his arm tightened around her. Smiling, Hinata closed her eyes, knowing as she snuggled into Sasuke's warmth that her Guardian was blushing in spite of himself.

A combination of supernatural, magic and SasuHina for the "A" in my A to Z themed one-shot series.
