CHAPTER 1

It was a gloomy night, clouds covered the sky as lightning lit up inside of them, causing thunder to boom and echo throughout the village of Konoha. Rain fell from the sky in sheets, the wind blowing it harshly into the face of a raven haired boy. Sasuke walked through the streets, he had stayed outside to train, but apparently he had spent too much time doing so and couldn't make it home in time to beat the storm. His clothes were everything but dry and he was soaked to the bone. He was weak, hungry and EXTREMELY tired. Thunder let itself be heard again and it felt as if the hole village shook from the noise and vibration of it. Lighting shot through the sky, illuminationg a figure perched on it's haunches atop a roof. Its silver eyes following the genin as he walked, the creature smirked, its fangs glinting in the second of light.

Sasuke was becoming weary as if he was almost paranoid, along with this, his wet clothes also sent a shiver up his spine. His pace quickened slightly and the figure that lurked behind him swiftly followed, leaping from the roof tops without making a sound, and making sure it was hidden in the shadows. Sasuke went under a small overhang in an alley to at least make some attempt in escaping the harsh wind and rain.. He took in a shaky breath, shivering slightly, it was too cold to be standing outside in wet clothes in this weather. The wind picked up and he could here the sharp, long howling of the wind as it blew throughout the sides of buildings. The thunder boomed in unison with the lightning and that was when Sasuke saw another person in the alleyway, the figure was standing in the rain, almost hidden in the darkness of a shadow cast by a building. The figure was only visible for a few moments before the light from the lightning ceased. Known little to Sasuke, the person began to slowly approach him thunder boomed and in that moment as lightning showed itself again the person stood directly in front of the boy and pushed him harshly against the wall and pinned him there. Sasuke panicked and began to struggle. His arms were pinned to his sides and he could feel the person's body to compress against his so he couldn't move. The person brought Sasuke's arms up above his head and gripped the boys wrists with on hand. Sasuke could feel the person's moist breath on his face and he cringed as he continued to struggle.

The figure cracked its other hand and quickly ran its claws down Sasuke's chest and stomach, all the way to the boys side. Sasuke yelled out in pain and anguish as he felt the claws rip through his flesh. The creature smirked and dug it's claws deeper., feeling the blood run through it's fingers. It brought it's hand up and licked off the blood, it's cruel, fanged smirk growing. Sasuke began to feel his body beginning to stiffen, were the claws poisoned? The person tore at Sasuke's flesh again as it tried to rip off his blood stained shirt. When the shirt was torn and basically destroyed the creature through it aside and put it's face close to the middle of Sasuke's chest, almost at the point where his neck met his torso. Sasuke's body tried desperately to escape but the only reason he was still on his feat was because of the creature having a firm grip on his wrists and holding him up. The person opened it's mouth widely, it's fangs growing almost another inch before heavily biting down into the middle of the genin's chest. Sasuke's eyes blurred from the pain and he yelled out as much as he could, for the third time in his life, feeling terrified, almost more so from when Itachi seemed he would kill him during the horrible night when his parents, and entire clan was killed, and when he fought the disguised Orochimaru during the chunnin exams. He was afraid, he thought, no knew he was going to die here, and that what made him angry was that he could do almost nothing to stop it, he was helpless. The figure began to drink the crimson life that was Sasuke's hungrily.The person released him and Sasuke fell almost lifelessly to the ground, his breathing harsh and quick. His vision blurred yet again, he would do anything to stay alive at this point as he gazed up into the cold silver eyes of his attacker. The corneas were dark while the pupils were a white silver with dark black circles around the pupil. What made the boy sick was that he could see his blood dripping from the person's mouth and that it covered his clothes. The creature bent down next to Sasuke and stretched out the boy's neck. Sasuke grimaced as he could yet again feel the warm breath of the person as they drew closer . They leaned closer him and leaned closer to him, their mouth less than an inch from his neck. The creature opened it's mouth wide and Sasuke felt the long fangs pierce his neck. He couldn't breathe because of the person's bite beginning to choke him, the pain was excruciating but he was too weak to even yell out, blood beginning to form a puddle around his body. He coughed and blood dripped from the side of his mouth after what seemed after an hour or the horrible draining of the blood from his neck had ended and the creature released its bite. Sasuke's hand twitched as the creature lifted its head and licked the blood off from the side of his mouth. The rain began to slow and the figure stood up, wrapping it's cloak around itself before jumping back up to the roof tops and disappearing. Sasuke coughed and he closed his eyes, wanting the blackness of death to come to him, to end the suffering, but it never did. Sasuke let him fall into an unconscious sleep, almost hoping that he wouldn't wake up.
