I left my home dressed in my norm, a white shirt of silk partially covered by the coat of black silk and black slacks along with it. I passed through the night, a shadow among those mortals that no longer feared the creatures that haunt the night. Perhaps it was time again that they learned to fear the darkness, a task suited to one such as myself with the perfect technique to latch onto the mind and create new fears where they are lacking. I walked along the streets, parting from my home for the time being, and once a sufficient distance it was time to find my prey.

A simple technique was all that was required, though the ever annoying requirement for hand seals was present, a method that I find wholly unappealing. Still, I must do what must be done and in future then perhaps I will find a method of at least reducing the annoyance of them. For now I allowed my fingers to dance through a series of symbols while power flowed throughout my vampiric form. An energy that all creatures possessed, yet very few could harness to its fullest, or even at all. That power crashed in a torrent within my form, guided and shaped by the spiritual touch given by myself.

I directed that power and shaped it within myself while silvery eyes gazed about the streets for an unwitting victim of the fear that I was about to create for them. Eyes searching, fingers moving, power molding within, I had one other task before me for the perfection of the ability. The fear itself. It would be simple enough to give the woman a fear of myself, but that was not my goal, they were to fear the creatures of the night themselves rather than simply one. Well, perhaps a common fear of the dark would give an individual a greater appreciation for that which lives within the shadows.

Deciding upon this I spotted a female standing beneath a lamp that lit the street and as the fear was infused into the shape of my power as I strode over to her. As I walked the zodiac symbols my fingers wove through ceased and the power welled up in the palm of my hand. Reaching ever so slightly I snatched up the woman's wrist and the power flowed into her body, passing through pearly flesh as though it were not there. With honeyed words I lead the female away from that bright light and guided her into steadily increasing shadows.

As the light was fading I observed the increase in agitation, the fading light was creating more of the fear that I fed into her psyche. It was critical that I observe the fear that was allowed to take root, and so I brought her into an alley, one filled with a darkness black as pitch. I could see it in her eyes, the fear, the horror, the still shadows before her that pulsed with life and death. The stench of darkness that filled her nostrils as terror began to take hold of her, the desire to flee building within her body. Excellent.

I walked out of the Ramen shop slowly, a grin creeping across my face like the morning sun. A night of full of Ramen was always a nice night, it gave me something to do and people to talk to in a town where I had very little to do and very few friends to see. The mist was my new home and had been for a few months (Felt more like years now) it was a place I could excel in, a place I could find the power I needed, as promised by the previous mizukage. Of course the old mizukage was gone now, their promise of power nothing but words now. I grumbled angrily at myself for trusting such a fool, but I had learned much since I time here, the power, as little as it was, was power none-the-less.

He walked through the darkened, empty streets, the only sources of light being the dim lamps. It was a clear night, not a cloud in the sky, one of those nights that you hear about in the ghost stories as a child all that would be needed to complete the setting would be an ear piercing scr-. As if on cue I heard what I had expected, a shrill cry that cut through the night air like a hot knife through butter. I chuckled, it was almost too cliche to be real right? It must be in my head, a lot of things were now-a-days, I usually could figure out which ones were real or not. I figured I would just keep moving along, nothing. There was another scream though, that made me stop in my tracks, now, I had never had something like this happen to me before, could it be real?"

I turned and started to make my way to the source of the rather annoying noise, it could be a potential source of entertainment after all. I felt the hairs on the back of my neck raise in excitement, it could also have been someone up to no good, an enemy ninja? No, that was most likely impossible, they wouldn't be able to make it this far into the village without getting caught. It could still be a ninja though, one from this village, one like him perhaps? One who's mind was corrupt as mine, as dark as the night that I was currently skulking around in. I would find the person or persons who had made the sad woman (or man, he wasn't judging) cry out in anguish and have a nice little chat with him.

By the time I arrived on the street, there wasn't an outlaw, ninja, terrorist what have you in sight. There was only a very loud very annoying bitch, screaming her head off at what I could only assume was death itself, it made me want to hit her, silence her so she would cease her endless wailing. Fortunately enough I had been raised right, proper as some would say, I don't hit women, unless they were trying to hit me. I watched from the shadows, looking around for the source of her screaming, or at the very least, someone who could tell him what in the world was going on.

She struggled and resisted, trying to pull away as whatever she saw within the shadows terrified her. I must admit the result was far greater than I had initially expected to achieve with such a weak ability, perhaps it was because her lack of resistance against mental assaults. Releasing her wrist from my grip I smiled as she fled the area, "Run, little child, remember the fear the darkness brings." I stepped calmly towards the entrance to the alley, no one would be the wiser of what I had done, lest they had followed me since I had begun to perform the hand seals. At some point in time I would need to rectify the need for such trivial things.

I walked past the screaming woman as she fled from the scene, finally finding the source of her terror. The man that stood at the entrance of the alley was fairly tall and finely dressed, someone obviously from money. His hair matched the night, the only reason I noticed was because it clashed against his white skin. Stepping out of the darkness I started to walk towards the man, unsure of what he could or would do to me if I approached. As I closed in on the man, I felt the hairs on the back of my neck rise, his eyes felt wrong. I wasn't sure of what it was but there was something in them that didn't agree with me.

"Hello" I said, my voice was calm, I wasn't afraid of the man even if his eyes did give me the creeps. "Lovely night isn't it?" I decided not to bring up the woman yet, no need to spoil the mood with accusations.
