I know... I don't need to be starting another story, but... I can't help it! Besides, this'll just be written in my free time or when I have writer's block on my other stories. This is my boyfriend, Jaden's idea. I'm just writing it for him because he hates to write and thinks I'm a better writer then him anyway. It'll move a little slow at first but don't worry. This IS a romance story at the core. I promise. Ah... My boyfriend and his complicated ideas. :sigh: Oh well! I love the idea and I hope you guys will too!

Enjoy!

Title: Crimson Dripped Darkness

Rating: M for language, blood, gore, violence, and sex.

Pairings: NarutoXGaara. One sided NarutoXSasuke and some ItachiXGaara.

Full Summery: Konoha, Alaska. Every year for 30 long days the small town in filled with darkness. It's typical and expected. Some towns' people leave, others stay. Naruto Uzumaki is one of those people that stay. Two days after everyone leaves... Two days before a month of darkness... Every source of escape is destroyed. The sled dogs... The helicopter... Vehicles don't matter since they can't get past the town due to the extreme Alaskan terrain. The strange thing is... Who did it. Itachi Uchiha. Naruto's best friend's older brother. And he's not speaking. Only chanting, "He's coming. He promised!" When night finally come, the electric goes out. People disappear. Screams are heard... Blood is shed. Monsters have attacked the small town. Naruto's father forces him and Sasuke to take shelter in his old underground bomb shelter. They should be safe there. But on the way, The teenage boys run into a small redheaded boy. Monster or no? They don't know. But Naruto drags him along anyway. Was that a mistake? You know damn well it was.

Warning: A few actually...

1- This is Yaoi! BoyXBoy! No likey, no read-y!

2- Vampiresblood and gore(not too much though)

3- its rated M for a reason people... can you say, "Lemon"?

4- Most of the characters are a little OOC. But not to an extreme. Like... You could see them doing this but not exactly. I'd say the most OOC characters are Sasuke and Gaara. Maybe Sasuke more then Gaara... Idk... but you hath been warned!

Disclaimer: Again a few...

1- I didn't come up with this idea. That was my lovely boyfriend Jaden.

2- The 30 days of night idea was taken from the movie 30 Days of Night (which was pretty awesome by the way! A little confusing but... yea!)

3- Naruto doesn't belong to me either.

But this story does!

Two Days before Darkness

Konoha was always cold. About freezing. But come two more days and the temperature would be below freezing. Naruto didn't mind the cold. In fact, he love it. He loved the dark too. He always stayed for the month of darkness. But most of his friends left.

"I don't think I'll ever understand you Naruto." His brunette friend Kiba said as he put his last suitcase into the plane's storage. "I need the sun."

The blonde grinned. "I know." He shoved his black gloved hands into his orange pockets. "I love the sun too, but I love how quiet and nice it is here at night."

Kiba rolled his brown eyes. "Yea, yea." He slammed the storage door shut. "I think it's just creepy."

"Afraid of the dark?" Naruto teased him, sticking out his tongue at him.

"More like the unknown." They stared at each other a moment before Kiba sighed. "Look, Just call me so I know you're still alive?"

Naruto rolled his ocean blue eyes. "I will, don't worry."

They hugged briefly before Kiba got onto the plane with a bunch of other townspeople that were leaving. Naruto stood back and watched the plane take off. He knew he'd be lonely without Kiba, but he still had one friend.

"Let's go already Naruto." His raven haired best friend said form beside him. It was strange that Sasuke wasn't on that plane. But the boy's older brother insisted they stay. Sasuke couldn't argue with him. He was his only family.

"Alright."

The two seventeen year old boys began to make their way back to Naruto's house. Itachi, Sasuke's older brother, had been acting strange lately. So they tended to hangout at Naruto's house. The blonde's adoptive father, Jiraiya, was more then happy to have Sasuke over all the time.

"Did you hear about Mr. Carlson's dogs?" Sasuke asked, hugging himself against the cold.

Naruto tilted his head at him. "What? No."

Sasuke watched him from the corner of his onyx eyes. "Someone slit their throats."

Naruto's blue eyes widened. "Who?"

"They don't know yet. It's strange really." He pulled his black coat closer around his small thin body. "All the sled dogs have been killed."

Naruto swallowed hard, his stomach sinking. "That is strange."

"I also heard that Mr. Tom's helicopter was found ripped to pieces." He shuddered from more then the cold. "I have a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach... That was the last plane. All out other means of leaving the town have been destroyed."

Naruto quickly wrapped his arm around his friends shivering shoulders, bringing him close. "You're worrying too much Sasuke." He rubbed his gloved hand over the raven haired teen's arm. "Who put those crazy thoughts in your head?"

"Itachi..." He said softly. "It's like he knows something bad is going to happen."

"Your brother is insane. He's always paranoid."

"I know but... For some reason... I believe him this time..."

Naruto stared at his best friend concerned. Sasuke never believed the shit Itachi spat. But this was different. Odd thing was Naruto felt it too. He felt that weird feeling in the pit of his stomach. Like something bad was going to happen. Sasuke wasn't the only one having those crazy thoughts. Naruto was having them too.

"It is strange. That's true." Naruto hugged Sasuke closer. "But I'm sure it's alright. It's just bad timing."

"Stupid Itachi..." Sasuke muttered, shivering. "Making me stay here. He knows how much I hate it when it gets this cold."

Naruto smiled, happy the subject was changed. "Aw, don't worry Sasuke. I'll keep you warm." He pulled him closer, emphasizing his words.

Sasuke blushed but was sure Naruto couldn't see. His pale face was already flushed red from the cold wind. "All night?"

Naruto faltered a bit before grinning. "You're such a perv, Sasuke."

The raven haired boy smirked. "You walked right into it Naruto."

He chuckled. "Yea, I guess I did." He laughed it off with that grin of his. He knew of Sasuke's crush on him but unfortunately, Naruto only saw him as the brother he never had. Sasuke knew this though, and tried to keep his feelings to himself. But he couldn't help but hope.

"So, what do you do for fun when everyone leaves?"

Naruto shrugged. "Anything I can find since it's mostly older people that stay. I usually spend some time with Neji, because his family stays too. But since you're here this year, I'm sure we'll have loads of fun!"

Sasuke smiled softly. "Of course we will."

Fun doesn't even come close to what those two will experience. Sometimes... people should listen to their guts.

Two glowing red eyes watched the two boys as they walked into the big brown house. Those eyes were wide with an innocence not known to its kind.

"Master?" The red eyes blinked before the owner turned completely around. "I've done as told." The taller man said softly.

The owner of the red eyes nodded, his red hair blowing in the crisp cold wind. "Good boy." He moved forward swiftly and gently placed his cool hand against the long haired man's cheek.

The man shivered at his touch. "Master, how much longer must I wait?"

"Soon." His voice was almost a whisper. "Come night and I will make you mine."

The man's eyes closed as the smaller male stroked his cheek. "What else must I do?"

"You've done well, Itachi. And now you must turn yourself in." The man's eyes snapped open. "You will be safe. I promise. It is their will."

"But master..." He quickly pulled the smaller redhead into a hug, "You promise to come for me?"

The boy winced at the desperation in the man's voice before burying his head in his chest. "Yes. I promise." They stayed like that a moment longer before the smaller of the two pulled away. "Go Itachi." The man nodded before running off toward the town.

The boy stood there, staring after the man. He felt horrible. It was his fault. Everything that was about to happen was going to be his entire fault.

"Gaara."

The sudden voice in his head snapped him out of his daze. "Yes?"

"You've done well. Now return. Let the idiot take the fall alone. We still have much need for your powers."

Gaara closed his eyes tightly. "Yes, Sasori."

"You take well to orders. Better then we thought. I guess your human family means more to you then your freedom."The word "human" was spat with distaste.

"What are my orders?"

"Get your ass back here before I lose my damn patience."

"Yes, Sasori." He felt the other leave his mind. He stared at the town solemnly before disappearing.

Ah! I know it's kinda short... but the next part will be up soon! And they get longer. I promise. Soooo, review? And tell us what you think!

Thanks!
