Hidden Desires

Author's Note: I got a request for a vampire style Sasuke x Hinata story and decided to grant it. The darker side of Sasuke's personality will also be explored in this tale. If any of that bothers you, you might want to turn back now. For those of you still here, I hope you enjoy this story and reviews are always appreciated.

Chapter 1

Power, joy, shame, horror, and hunger. That was how Sasuke Uchiha would summarize his last five years of existence. He felt all those things intensely. Sometimes the lines separating each feeling blurred until he couldn't tell the difference.

Perhaps it made sense in a strange way. He felt things more strongly, after his heart had stopped beating at the age of eighteen. It might have been nature's way of balancing things out.

"It's rather ironic." He whispered under his breath so quietly, that not even his drinking companion heard him.

Sasuke was a vampire. Not so long ago, he had foolishly thought that vampires were nothing more than myths. They were the stuff of fantasy.

It was fun to lose yourself in a good movie or book about such things, but he had never seriously thought vampires actually existed. Not until that night, anyway. He remembered it like it was yesterday.

"We did it! We graduated!" Naruto exclaimed joyously.

Joyously wasn't a word that Sasuke used much, but this was Naruto. The blonde was Sasuke's best friend and everything that he wasn't. He was a lovable, "dumb" and a natural extravert. Sasuke was the cool genius.

"Yeah. I know. It's a miracle. I guess your Chemistry Teacher must have felt sorry for you and decided to pass you out of pity." Sasuke taunted him with a smirk.

"You can be such a bastard sometimes! I don't know if I should invite you to the pool party at Hinata's now!" Naruto threatened him.

Sasuke frowned. He wasn't sure if the blonde knew that he had feelings for Hinata or not. He supposed in a way, it didn't matter. The threat worked.

Later that night, the Rookie Nine had been heading home after a great party. Everything was going normally, until someone jumped into the middle of the road and their limo crashed.

"Oh God! Oh God! Did we kill him?" Hinata cried out in horror.

"I don't think so. I'm going to go check it out!" Naruto said and he jumped out of the car, before anyone could say anything.

Sasuke watched in terror as his friend went to see if the man they hit was still alive. Had they really killed someone?! This couldn't be happening!

How had their night of revelry turned into a night of death? The group of friends had been ecstatic about graduating high school and were innocently enjoying the limo ride, when that man had jumped out into the middle of the road. It was as if he had a death wish or something.

"AHHHHH! HELP! HELP! GET AWAY FROM ME, YOU FREAK!" Naruto screamed agony, a few minutes later.

Before the accident, their biggest worry was making sure the limo remained in one piece. Hinata's family had generously allowed them to "borrow it" for the night's festivities. Now, they might end up going to prison for accidentally running someone over!

"Everyone, stay in the damn car! Call for help!" Sasuke told the other Rookie Nine Members as he rushed out of the car to help Naruto.

The Rookie Nine were what they called themselves. They had all been friends since elementary school. They were completely inseparable. Sasuke had been sure that eventually they would all grow old together and watch their grandchildren grow up. It didn't work out that way.

"SASUKE! RUN! THIS GUY IS CRAZY!" Naruto screamed at him.

That's when Sasuke saw it. There was another blonde with long hair and blood covering his face. His teeth were abnormally long and sharp. Too sharp! They weren't teeth. They were fangs!

Naruto's neck was covered in blood. He needed medical help and he needed it now. This psychotic freak probably thought that he was actually a vampire or something.

"Naruto, get in the damn car! Drive away! The others are going to call for help.!" Sasuke said as he pulled out his handgun.

His father was a cop. One of the advantages of having a police officer for a father was that you generally learned to shoot early on. Sasuke had also taken some karate classes. This freak had picked the wrong group to mess with.

"I'm not leaving you!" Naruto yelled at him.

"Too bad. I'm not giving you a choice!" Sasuke hissed at Naruto and shoved the blonde back into the limo

"HURRY! He needs to get to the hospital!" Sasuke said as he tried to get into the limo behind him.

He never made it though. The "vampire" grabbed him by the shirt and threw him to the ground. He threw him with enough force, he stopped moving for a few seconds. That's when the limo took off.

Sasuke smirked. His friends probably thought that he was dead, but at least they got away from this creep. Now, he was going to blow his head off. It was self-defense.

"You're pretty brave. Yeah? Too bad you're friends aren't the same way. They left you behind to die." His attacker said.

"They're brave enough. The cops are going to be here shortly. If you're smart, you'll take off. If you're not smart, then I'm going to shoot you." Sasuke hissed at him.

The vampire smirked and revealed his fangs. Sasuke blinked. Those looked disturbingly realistic.

"You really don't get how this works, do you? I'm the predator and you're my prey. You're not going to survive this and I'm going to be long gone before any cops arrive. Yeah?" He asked with a sadistic giggle.

That's when the man bit his neck and Sasuke screamed in agony. He tried to yank himself away from the vampire and fired off a shot. The bullet went straight through the man's stomach.

That should have been a fatal hit. That or at least the blonde should have doubled over in pain. Instead, all he did was grunt in pain and Sasuke stares in horror as he watches the bullet wound slowly heal before his eyes.

"You're a monster!" Sasuke whispered as he tried desperately to run away.

"Now you're catching on, kid! I knew you could do it! Hmm. You're blood tastes really good! You should be proud. Most humans don't taste that good." He said conversationally.

Sasuke ran as fast as he could. He was certain that he had never run so fast in his entire life, but it was no use. The demon was faster. Much faster.

The vampire threw him against a telephone pole with bone crushing force. The last thing that he remembered before blacking out was the sound of footsteps and a voice. A hauntingly beautiful voice.

"Deidara, didn't I tell you to stop playing with your food?" The voice asked, just before Sasuke lost consciousness.

That voice would turn out to be both his salvation and damnation. His name was Madara. Madara was apparently one of only a handful of vampires on Earth who could terrify Deidara.

"You're sitting next to me, but your mind appears a thousand miles away. Tell me, what is on your mind." Madara instructed him.

Most people would have interpreted that as a request. Sasuke knew better though. Madara Uchiha didn't request anything. He made demands with varying degrees of politeness.

"I was just remembering how I became a vampire." Sasuke told him honestly.

There was no point in lying to his Sire. The being who was sitting across the table from him was at least hundreds, if not thousands of years old. He had lived long enough to see through even the most skilled liar.

Madara Uchiha hated liars. Liars didn't tend to live very long around the ancient vampire. Sasuke still didn't fully understand his Sire's strange Code of Honor, but he knew enough to keep him from getting killed. (Most didn't.)

"Ah of course. What has it been? Five years? How time flies. We should celebrate the occasion." The other vampire decreed.

Sasuke raises an eyebrow. Celebrate the occasion could mean anything in Madara's world. He might want to fly to Paris and see the sights, indulge in a night of carnal delights, hunt, or punish some of his many enemies for both real and imaginary slights.

Madara had ensured that Sasuke participated in all those activities, especially the last one. He had done things that would have horrified his human self. He had delighted in slaughtering Madara's enemies though.

The sound of their screams and the taste of their blood. All of it was an irresistible. He might never be the monster that his Sire was, but Sasuke knew that he was quickly gaining his own impressive reputation in this new world that he found himself in. Like Sire, like "son."

"What did you have in mind?" He asks as he sips his glass of blood.

They were in a "gentleman's club." It was known as the Serpent's Den and owned by a vampire called Orochimaru. Serpent's Den was a special kind of nightclub though. It catered to their kind.

Orochimaru was a powerful vampire in his own right to be sure. The man was a legend in the supernatural community, but he was a newborn kitten compared to Madara Uchiha. (Almost everyone was though.)

"Oh whatever you like. It is your Siring Day, after all." The other Uchiha replied.

Vampires could drink blood here, freely. They didn't have to hide it. Many bought their blood, but just as many fed directly. The only rule was that your prey had to be willing.

At first, Sasuke had thought that was because Orochimaru might have some sliver of a conscience left. He had been wrong about that though.

Very wrong. Orochimaru just knew that it was easier to keep the club clean, if everyone's prey was willing. Any "mercy" that Orochimaru might display was done more out of practical reasons than out of the goodness of his own heart. Sasuke had learned that the hard way.

"We haven't been to London in awhile." Sasuke said, after thinking about it for a moment.

He knew what he really wanted, but he didn't dare ask for it. The raven haired vampire wasn't certain how Madara would react, if he knew the truth. His memories of his time as a human might be fuzzy. They were intact though.

There were days when he was little more than a cunning beast. His only thought on his mind was how to feed. There were other days, when he felt almost human.

"Very well. We'll go to London and make a grand adventure of it." Madara assured him.

"We always do." Sasuke replied with a fang-tastic smirk.

The worst days were when his new vampire instincts would merge with his old human desires. The images that produced were both alluring and disturbing. Most of them involved Hinata.

Sasuke wasn't sure if it had started out as a harmless high school crush or if he had always been in love with her. Had becoming a vampire just amplified his original feelings or just made them more clear? He didn't know.

"That's the spirit. Well I think I'm going to get a bit to eat and then we can head off." Madara informed him as he headed off to find someone to feed off of.

It didn't matter. She had gotten away. Hinata and his other friends had escaped with their lives intact.

His more human mind knew that it was for the best. Hinata was kind and innocent. His new life would horrify her. His animalistic instincts didn't care though. He knew that he could MAKE her notice him now.

"Hey, Sasuke." He heard someone say and turned around to see that it was Karin.

Karin was a succubus. She was a member of Taka. Taka was a group that Sasuke had formed. It was compromised of his closest associates. Karin, Suigetsu, and Jugo.

If he had been human, he would have said that they were his friends. They weren't though. Not really. Their talents just happened to benefit each other.

"Hey, Karin. Did you feed tonight?" He asked.

The only one that he mostly trusted to have his back in any situation was Jugo. Karin would be loyal for as long as she could be, without it getting herself killed. Suigetsu was more of a mercenary than anything.

None of that bothered Sasuke though. He was a vampire. If he wanted loyalty, Sasuke would just have to get a dog. Alliances were rather tenuous things in the supernatural world and friendship was a luxury that few could afford.

"Yes. Though I always have room for more, if you're offering." She said with a sly wink.

"Not tonight. Madara is going to take me to London to celebrate my Siring Day." Sasuke told her.

Karin had made no secret about the fact that she would love to feed off of Sasuke. Sasuke like most men in his twenties was quite fond of sex, but he never took her up on her offer. He suspected that Karin might want an actual relationship with him.

It was hard for a Succubus to be a monogamous creature. They fed off of lust. For them to commit, their lover would have to have quite the healthy sex drive and not be the jealous type.

"Oh that sounds fun. Hmm does blood taste different from other countries? Like is there a difference between an American and a British person's blood?" She asked curiously.

Sasuke was a vampire. It was a rare vampire who didn't have a high sex drive, but wasn't the type to share. He'd get too jealous. That and while Karin wasn't unpleasant to look at, she couldn't compare to her. No one did.

"To a small degree, it makes a difference. Mostly that's because their diets tend to be different and various chemicals in their bloodstream vary a bit. If someone lives in a polluted area, you notice a difference. Believe me." Sasuke muttered and he curled his lips in disgust.

There were some people who tasted like smoke and acid rain. They were the worst. He sometimes wondered how Madara felt about the modern era. He had lived long enough to remember a time when blood was more "pure."

"Ah that's interesting. That sort of thing doesn't make a difference to my kind. Lust is lust. The environment doesn't play a role. Though the taste does vary somewhat from person to person. I imagine that you would taste exceptional." The red head says.

"Thank you." Sasuke said and he smirked slightly as he drank from his glass.

Her red hair was exotic and she did have lovely legs. Karin was no Hinata though. Sasuke didn't dream about drinking her blood as they made love and turning the red head into a vampire. (He wasn't exactly sure that a succubus COULD become a vampire, but it was the principle of the thing.)

"Have you heard from Suigetsu recently?" He asked.

"Hmm. Last I heard from the idiot, he was heading off to Hawaii. You know how he is. He loves to terrorize tourists." She laughed.

Sasuke nodded in understanding. Suigetsu was a merman. Yeah. That one had taken awhile for Sasuke to fully process. Now, the young Uchiha couldn't imagine his violet eyed "friend" any other way.

"Sounds like him." He agreed.

"Jugo is off on some Giant Retreat in the Amazon. Thinks that it might be good for him. You know how much he loves animals and things like that." Karin added.

That was true. Jugo was a giant. Thankfully, he could adjust his size. Even in his human form though, he was around seven feet tall. In his truest form, he topped out around 70 feet. There were few places that giants could truly be themselves without changing their size. The Rainforest was one of them.

"Yeah. Well it looks like Madara is coming back. So I'll see you later." Karin said as she walked off.

Sasuke smirked. He knew why she was leaving. The succubus was afraid of his Sire. He couldn't entirely blame her. There were times when even he was afraid of Madara.

Madara Uchiha made Dracula look like an amateur. Sasuke was positive that the man had invented most of the torture techniques that were used during the Dark Ages. His Sire had hinted at such a possibility once or twice, but would never actually admit to it.

"Well that was pleasant. Sasuke, have you ever drank blood from a woman who just had a shot of vodka? It's exquisite." Madara inquired.

"I can't say that I've had the pleasure." The younger man answered.

"Perhaps we should change that. She does have a rather pretty blonde for a friend." Madara suggested as he offered Sasuke his hand and the other vampire took it with a smirk.

Madara was a complex creature to say the least. One never knew what really went on in his mind. Sasuke did believe in his own demented way, that his Sire cared about him though. That much he was almost sure about.

Meanwhile in London, Hinata was on the phone with Naruto. Today was a rough day for him and all their friends. It was the anniversary of Sasuke's death.

"I can't believe that it's been five years." She whispered.

"Me neither. Sometimes I wonder what he'd be up to, if he hadn't been murdered by that freak." The blonde said.

Hinata nodded in agreement. She wondered that too. Sasuke had been very bright.

He could have gotten into any college or university he wanted to. Who knew what he would have chosen to major in? There were few subjects that he wasn't good at and he never really made it clear which ones he actually liked.

"He'd probably be well on his way to becoming a doctor, lawyer, or CEO." She said with a forced giggle.

"Yeah. That sounds about right. God, I miss that bastard." Naruto said with a heavy sigh.

Hinata knew that it was foolish, but she still hadn't completely given up hope. After all, the police had never found the body. There was a slight chance that he survived.

"Do you think that it's possible that he might have gotten away somehow?" She whispered.

"Hinata, don't do that to yourself. If Sasuke had lived, he would have found his way back to us." Naruto chided her gently.

Would he though? That monster had been psychotic. He had tried to drink human blood. Sasuke could have been kidnapped.

She wasn't sure which was worse. The thought that their friend had died trying to save them or that he had survived. That he had survived and become a prisoner for some deluded madman.

"What if the stranger took him with him though?" Hinata asked.

"Don't do it, Hinata. Don't torture yourself like that. I have gone through every potential scenario in my mind. I would rather have Sasuke be dead than that freak's prisoner. I choose to believe that he went down fighting. There was a gunshot fired. They found a bloody bullet." Naruto reminded her.

"Yeah. They did." Hinata confirmed.

It didn't make sense. That bullet indicated that at least one body should have been found. Whether it was Sasuke's or his attacker's body, didn't matter to a degree. Who could possibly survive that?

Hinata bit her lower lip as she considered the possibilities. Well she supposed that it depended on where the bullet had entered and exited. Maybe if it hit one of their arms or legs, they could have kept going.

"So how are your classes going?" Naruto inquired.

Hinata smiled in response. She knew what her friend was doing. He was trying to change the subject. The blonde wasn't exactly the most subtle person that she had ever met, but he was a good friend.

"Pretty well. I'm taking an accelerated path. It should only take me a few more years to become a doctor." She told him.

"That's great! I know that you'll make a great doctor. Oh and it opens a world of puns! That and who knows? Maybe you'll met a cute patient and fall madly in love." Naruto said brightly.

Hinata smiled, despite the slight pang of pain in her chest. She used to have the biggest crush on Naruto in middle school and high school. Unfortunately, she had been terribly shy.

By the time she finally had the courage to tell Naruto how she felt, he was already with someone else. Hinata knew that it would be wrong to try to break them up. So she had suffered in silence.

"Maybe. You never know." Hinata conceded.

Eventually, the pain had dulled. Thankfully, she no longer felt that way about him. Every once in awhile, she would wonder about what could have been. It didn't matter though. She had outgrown her childish crush on him.

"So what's London like?" Naruto continued.

"It's really crowded, but it's beautiful. It rains a lot though." She added as an afterthought.

She quite liked it though. Hinata had been accepted into a medical school in London and easily gained citizenship. The fact that she came from an enormously wealthy family, probably had something to do with that fact though.

"Ah it sounds really cool! I'm not a big fan of rain though. So maybe it'd be a better place for me to visit than to move to." Naruto observed thoughtfully.

"Yeah. That's probably accurate. I gotta go. I have class in about an hour." Hinata told him.

"Oh. Right! Talk to you later! Take it easy!" Naruto instructed her as he hung up.

Hinata sighed and quickly put on her coat, before heading off. The campus was just a short walk away from the home that her family bought her. Still she enjoyed stretching her legs and she had time to walk to class at her leisure.

There were few things more amusing than people watching in a big city. The tourists in particular were really funny. Hinata just wished that she had someone to walk with her as she enjoyed the sights.

"They really do look happy together." Hinata whispered as she walked passed a kissing couple.

She never voiced this out loud, but Hinata supposed everyone had a fantasy. A hidden desire that they didn't share with anyone else. For once, she wanted to be that girl.

She wanted to be the one that was noticed first. Hinata wanted someone to love her back. Not just as a friend or like a sister. The bluenette wanted passionate, all consuming love.

The kind of love where you forgot about the rest of the world. The kind of love where you kissed, your most precious person in the middle of a crowded street. The kind of love where you just couldn't keep your hands off each other long enough to get home.

"Well everyone has their fantasy." She murmured, after reaching her campus.

Her family would have been scandalized by such thoughts. They were the very definition of Blue Bloods. Hyugas were always prim and proper. It would have been borderline blasphemous to makeout with your love the middle of a crowded street.

Despite that, the med student smiled as she headed into her class. Maybe one day, it would come true. For now though, it was just another day in London.

Little did she know, that everything was about to change. There was a reason why that old saying existed. Be careful what you wish for, because you just might get it. That reason's name would turn out to be Sasuke Uchiha.
