Uzumaki Naruto woke up with a start as hunger ripped through his veins and clawed its way into his mind. As if in a trance, he got up and walked downstairs towards the kitchen.

Only half conscious of what he was doing, he opened the refrigerator door with a hard yank making the contents inside rattle. He peered in, scanning its contents.

He has absolutely no idea what his mindless hunger craved for. But he knew that he desperately needed to quench that hunger.

That thirst.

His body became fire as he felt his animalistic senses take control.

And he spotted it. There, in a clear plastic package was half a pound of raw, minced meat. He ripped it open with his teeth, not in his right state of mind to get a knife.

He ripped at the meat with his canines feeling the blood spill down his mouth and the flesh against his tongue.

Then it stopped. The hunger vanished and he was left to think on it.

What made him act this way? All he knew was that sometime was wrong. Very wrong.

Walking back upstairs he noticed his mirror tilted.

He was fixing it when he saw his reflection and gasped. In the mirror was his normal blue, sky eyes were now red. A slitted red. And his teeth were penetrating out from his blood covered lips. But that wasn't the only thing he saw.

In the mirror beside him, was a reflection of a window. A window with a full moon.

After that little episode the previous night, Naruto couldn't sleep. He tried. But couldn't. That monstrous image of himself kept replaying in his mind.

So he stared at his alarm clock waiting for the digits to hit their designated numbers.

6:58

tick tock, tick tock

6:59

tick tock, tick tock

7:00

BEEP BEEP BEEP.

He stood up to turn it off. The sound of the blasted thing making his head spin and stomach churn.

He had to get ready for school.

He headed over towards the bathroom to do his daily needs.

Washing his face from any sleep he was happy to find his eyes their normal blue and brushing his teeth he found his canines their usual shape and size.

Maybe it was a dream he thought walking back to his room. He changed back into his usual high school attire.

Then, after he headed downstairs for breakfast.

Once in the kitchen he checked the clock. 7:18. Just enough time to eat and head out.

He opened the refrigerator door and gasped.

So yesterday wasn't a dream he thought meekly, staring at the ripped open packages of meat.

**

He stepped outside after figuring out he wasn't hungry anymore. The cool autumn air outside hit his bare face making him feel all alone.

His parents had been murdered leaving behind their family fortune to him only accessible after 18. Although it paid for his food, clothing and school needs.

He was not even supposed to be alive for his mother had died with him still in her belly. Doctors called him a "miracle."

But that "miracle" won't help his test that he is going to have today for he did not get a wink of sleep.

He lived in Shibuya Tokyô in Japan and went to a private school with a bunch of other fortune saved kids. However, their parents weren't dead.

He was told his mother was German and his father a Japanese business owner. They had met in college.

However with no love from his parents he was left alone to do his work in his school. His only encouragement was his friends who had to meet at the bus stop for school.

"Hey Naruto!"

Naruto turned and smiled as he greeted his friend.

"Hey Kiba! It's a bit chilly today isn't it?" He said as he crossed his arms for emphasis.

"Yeah man. You like way tired. What happened? Tough night?" he said winking at him.

Oh yes. Very. But not in the way Kiba was thinking.

"Never mind about that. Let's head to school." he said turning to head into the bus.

As expected he followed naruto inside. Inside the bus, teens were laughing and chatting the morning away.

Naruto however did not feel like chatting. Kiba however did not get the hint.

"So walking home yesterday I saw this babe and she was like…."

Naurto quickly droned him out staring at some nonexistent lint on his pant.

"Naruto!" he yelled into my ear.

"what?!" he grunted showing his displeasure.

"Why is Uchiha staring at you?" he said directing his face toward said person.

He turned my head towards the guy and noticed that indeed he was staring. Even as he looked back with question he did not turn away

And just kept staring.
