Plot: It's in the present day, and Naruto, a teen and in high school, recently found out that his dad (Iruka) is not his biological father, and that his real parents were dead long ago. He runs out in the rain, miserable and lost, and seeks shelter at a club. He's a quiet kid and tries to avoid trouble, but trouble follows him everywhere, and trouble is always trouble, especially when it's formerly known as Uchiha Sasuke himself.

CHAPTER ONE.................................l.........................................l..............................l.........................l
At first, the drops came slowly and quietly, then quickly the droplets enlarged, pattering loudly on the ground. The drops came continuously, and in a matter of seconds it changed from a simple rainstorm to a heavy downpour.
And one could faintly see the outline of a young boy running in the middle of the storm.
Naruto bitterly ran, already feeling tears springing up to his eyes as he furiously rubbed them out, blindly running to any destination. The droplets of water seemed to accompany his tears as the rain fell harder, nearly pounding into the poor boy's back. Naruto couldn't even feel his hands anymore because of the cold. The numbing sensation crept from his hands to his arms, slowly reaching to his central body parts.
Buildings whizzed by as the boy ran on, and Naruto jogged to a slow stop as he desperately looked for a place to stay in, at least until the rain ceased. He had already forgotten why he had been running out of there like crazy; he could only see a glimpse of the memory, but it was just a memory.
Everything seemed to be closed as he once again, scanned the area thoroughly for an open café or a small shop, but the only thing he could see was a tiny neon light, shining dimly through the heavy rain. Being lightheaded as he was, he nearly giggled hysterically in joy of finding somewhere to go, and started towards the tiny building.
Naruto finally reached the entrance and didn't even give the neon sign a second look as he wrenched the door open and quickly stumbled in, thoroughly drenched so that his clothes stuck to his skin. He shivered at the aftershock, and a split second later, fumes of smoke directly hit his nose, causing him to choke on the stench. It was even more terrible, for a few seconds later, Naruto realized in horror that it was semen and sweat that blended in with the smoke.
After persuading himself that the air didn't smell as dirty as it did, the coughs ceased and Naruto blearily looked through the haze of polluted air, but there was not much to see, as there were only people bunched up together, dancing and screaming and sweating. Naruto nearly recoiled in disgust, but slowly slinked towards a corner of the club, not wanting to cause any attention. While searching for a space to hide, several hungry stares observed Naruto, making the blonde feel even more uncomfortable as he hurriedly stumbled away from the lustful looks. A certain black haired man kept following him, and Naruto thanked the gods when the stalker finally disappeared. The man had looked eerily twisted, for his hair was long and greasy, and his lean figure made him look like a snake. But the fact that had frightened Naruto the most was that his eyes had been curved into a snake's shape.
Shuddering at the thought, he bumped into several people, apologizing profusely, but not gazing up to meet anyone's eyes. He really didn't want to cause any trouble, least of all in this place.
Naruto finally found a small, shadowed spot to sit, and slid down to the floor, huddling next to the wall. His hands and face were still stinging from the cold, but that served to be no complication, for heat radiated from the bodies of sweat and was now a warm welcome to Naruto. Now all that Naruto had to do was wait until the rain stopped.
..............l....................................l............................................l...........................................lHis eyes swiftly observed his surroundings, searching through the mass of people as he picked up the drum of many heartbeats, pulsing in unison. He nearly spat in distaste at his drink, for it was the third one that was drugged in which he had received. It was hard to get a good booze these days since nobody seemed to be pure anymore, but nevertheless, his eyes still skimmed through everyone, searching for a good drink with his sixth sense.
That was when he felt it.
He quickly cocked his head up, excited at feeling the presence. The smell of this human seemed incredibly sweet—one that an innocent would hold—but it was not sickly sweet. The whole essence of the human seemed to be completely flawless, having everything that was needed for a creature such as himself. Yet...He also smelled a tangy combination of fear, desperation, and pain.
Perfect.
He smoothly stood up and roughly pushed through the mass of people, letting his sixth sense guide him towards the sweet human. He would not let this one get away.
................l........................l......................l.....................l.....................l.......................l
It was still raining.
Tears streamed down his face as Naruto contemplated on what he was going to do. It was a miracle that nobody had noticed him, and he was grateful for the shadows covering him. He had seen the people who had been staring at him looking through the crowd, searching for him. Naruto weakly shuddered as he began to feel even more lightheaded and dizzy, due to the smoke in the air. He had barely caught sight of the snake-man, and nearly panicked when their eyes locked. Maybe coming to this place had been a bad idea.
Quickly standing up, a full blast of the smoke, sweat and who-knows-what-else stench came to his nostrils again, this time making Naruto wanting to puke. He shuffled from his corner and disappeared into the crowd, unbeknownst by him that the snake-man was following his every move...
Luck seemed to be with Naruto this time; the blonde quickly found a dark place that was even more shadowed than before, but that still offered no comfort for him, for he knew that the man would find him.
It would only be a matter of time.
...............................l....................................l.................................l.....................................l
His sixth sense made him look the other way, and by the gods he was glad he listened to his instinct, for that was when he saw him.
The sweet human.
Smirking triumphantly, and headed towards the blonde boy, pushing the annoying swarm of people away from him.
It was no help that a certain pink haired girl kept bugging the hell out of him, and he curled his lips in displeasure, as he couldn't drink from her. What a pity that she had nauseating blood. He would have drunk from her and sent her to hell from the moment he saw her.
Finally, when he reached the boy, he crouched down, examining the blonde's appearance. The young boy was looking at the floor, and he frowned as he felt fear and pain emanating powerfully from the human. He hadn't thought that the boy's fear would be this strong.
Lifting the boy's chin so that he could see his face, his expression softened, and blue eyes met with black. Admiring the blonde's beauty, his eyes searched the boy's body to see if he was marked, but no damage was seen.
He was surprised, and he knew many who would jump this poor boy if they had the chance.
But who could feed off of a beautiful boy like this?
...........................l................................l.................................l................................l
Naruto suddenly felt his chin lifted up and inwardly panicked, his mind automatically thinking of the ominous snake-man, and squeezed his eyes shut, expecting the worst.
But it wasn't what he had thought.
Naruto slowly cracked open his eyes, peeking up to see a handsome face, with stray wisps of dark hair covering the sides of the man's face. He then gasped as he looked into the stranger's onyx eyes. They were so beautiful, so captivating....Yet so haunting...
His cheeks quickly flushed as he felt the man lightly stroking his face. The feeling soon disappeared, making Naruto look up. He saw that the stranger was now staring at him with those eyes, smiling politely, even though it seemed much more like a smirk than a smile. The man's canines seemed abnormally big, but Naruto convinced himself that he had inhaled too much smoke, therefore making his imagination run wild. Before he could think up of any more ideas, the man spoke in deep, sensual tones.
"Hello, my name is Uchiha, Sasuke. What is your name?"
