Demandred waited for the night to slowly take over the skies, it was a creeping darkness as the sun slowly set and he was left with the only job that he was going to be paid to do. He made his way to the police forces main headquarters and entered to the main desks, when the man behind the desk saw him he said, “Yes, How can I help you?” he asked. Demandred gave the officer a warm smile, “Um, I'm here for the patrol.....” he said first. The man behind the desk eased up on the futile intimidation factor and said, “Oh, so your the new recruit to help us out tonight? Well just head straight down the hall and to the right and the commander will tell you what is needed of you” he said then he quickly went back to his paper work. The job that he had read was right, the police force was under staffed, and it looked like no one had come by the capital and helped in a very long time. Thinking back, he had wondered why the officer tried to look at him like he should be afraid.....there wasn't much to fear in the world, the only thing was ninja, no normal man or woman could scare him, because he could handle that. Maybe if he could get stronger, then the fear would fade, but there was so much of it.....he didn't know what to do.

“Hey kid!” Demandred turned and faced a man with a better looking insignia, he was the commander. “Yes I'm....” He started but was cut off, “Yes I know who you are, your the guy helping us out tonight, I was hoping for someone a little older.....but I can see that you atleast know how to use a weapon. You got a name?” Demandred was admiring his bow when he said he knew how to use a weapon, he was proud of his bowmanship, about the only thing he was proud of himself in. “Demandred” he answered. The man rose an eyebrow at the name, it was a tad bit strange of a name, but that was what his mom had insisted on. “Well Demandred its pretty simple, you will be patrolling these streets here,” he pointed to a map behind him, “Its quiet at night, but there are always some kind of small disturbance, and your job is to basically just keep the peace, got it?” Demandred nodded. “Good, now get going”

And thats how it started, it had already been a couple of hours, and he had been around along the streets and now he rested at the top of a building, letting his legs hang over the side as he gave out a long drawn out yawn. Patrolling all night was certainly smart, but he figured that the day shift would attract to much attention or there would be more people around, and he didn't want to risk running into a one of the lands ninja, If that happened, he didn't really know what to do. No one did anything at night, usually most were at sleep in there warm soft beds, which he had been without one for a very long time. Best thing was to keep moving was his initial thought, his eyes scanned the streets again, nothing in sight, an all clear of a night. He was thinking that maybe mastering the bow was best for a while, but he needed money and some sort of income to come in first so he could begin more of an understanding. Demandred sat there in the stillness of the night as he stretched, he continued to watch the streets, should nothing arise he would wait in silence and get his pay much easier.

The weather wasn't too bad it had been many hours and the watch was rather boring, not one person, or thing, a cat had been around at about 3 am. His face mask was up and he had on his heavy cloak, the weather was pretty cold, more than often he had to breath warms into his hands. He sat on the edge of a roof, all night it was quiet, this city wasn't bad, but it was ery on how quiet it was. He had broken up one fight, told the guys to head on home or go back and get something more to drink, they agreed to his surprise and laughed and went back to there own business. He had never seen a city so at ease before, quiet and friendly, it was because there were no ninja.

Every place a ninja went there was trouble it was all there fault, just thinking about them gave a creeping sensation up Demandreds back. “Ninja....” he repeated to himself, “This worlds problems could be solved if they weren't here” If it wasn't for them, his family would still be alive, caught in the crossfire of ninja going to war, blood thirsty monsters that didn't know how to exercise self control. For a few moments Demandred had felt no fear, replaced by anger...... “Is that what has to be done?” he asked himself as his eyes continuously scanned the city streets. “What has to be done, my boy?” a voice asked. Demandred turned to see the commander there, with an eyebrow raised.

“Oh...nothing, its not important I suppose” Demandred said quickly, “The night was quiet, only a few scuffles sir” he reported. The commander looked out at the streets and nodded. “Mhmm, it usually is, we are just under staffed” he said sitting beside him, “You picked a good spot” he said with a clasp of the shoulder. Demandred looked at him confused. “Look my boy” he said pointing. The sun slowly started to rise over the buildings and go into the sky, is was nice, and quite wondrous. “Yeah, I suppose I did” Demandred said slowly. It was a good end to the night atleast.
