It was a night with a beautiful full moon, to everyone but Uzumaki Naruto, a boy of twelve years, his eyes had a dull blue color, as his life force escaped through his fingers.
The boy could see the red vital liquid flowing through a hole in his chest, said hole had been done by his best friend, the man he considered a brother, the man that held the heart of the woman he used to and still loved, the man that betrayed their village and him for a false illusion of power granted by a man that would sell his own soul to live five minutes more.
He could barely hear the thunderous noise that the waterfall of the valley of the end caused, even when he was floating next to it. He was losing his vision, he was starting to lose consciousness, and he knew that once that happened he would die, and nobody would have cared if he did.
Some people say that when you are about to die you see your life pass in front of your eyes, Naruto only saw the beatings and insults that he endured during his childhood, the betrayals and pains he had suffered, and mostly how everyone had manipulated and used him to achieve their own goals.
-"Through all my life I have been used, backstabbed and lied to, they had my freedom, they had my care, they had my kindness, and now they bare my hate."-Thought the young boy sadly.
Somewhere else a bored and forgotten deity heard the boy's soul's plea, as she looked at the skies above, she smirked, at last, a human would call her name once again. Then she disappeared in a veil of darkness.
The young boy was now clenching his fists and gritting his teeth as he watched his friend, brother and killer walk away without caring for him.
-"Mizuki was right, everybody hates me, god has forgotten me..."-Where the dark thoughts of the boy as he recalled a certain event of his past.
Meanwhile in the forest that surrounded the valley a jonin known as Kakashi Hatake was jumping from tree to tree at a breakneck speed, in front of him was the boss of the dog summoning contract, Pakkun.
-¿Is there much left to catch them yet?-Asked the worried copy-ninja.
-No, there isn't, but I'm afraid that we are most likely late.-Responded sincerely the dog.
-"Damn it! ¿Why had I to pick this day to arrive late of all the days?"-Thought the man as he picked up his speed even more.
As the man travelled through the forest, it started to rain, and he knew that the rain would erase the trail of both boys, even when he suspected that the fight was over.
At last he arrived the valley, and noticed to his horror that there was only one of the boys left, and that the water that flowed by the river was tainted red.
The jonin ran to the floating figure of his student, and noticed his dull and glazed eyes, he ripped his tattered orange jumpsuit to see the cause of the loss of blood, he never expected to see a hole in his chest, and to his dismay he noticed that the hole that his student now bared had been done by the technique he taught to Sasuke, a technique that wasn't created to hurt comrades, yet, it had been used to do so twice.
So absorbed he was in his self pity and grief that he forgot an essential detail, he didn't check Naruto's vitals and left towards the village. Unknown to him this action would change the future of the world.
Naruto noticed this even in his half dead state, and fell further to his hate and inner demons.
-God! ¡¿Are you real? ¡¿Do you even know my name? ¡¿If you do why don't you help me out of this nightmare?-Cried the boy to the heavens in desperation.
-He doesn't care for you, a mortal, he is too selfish for that, besides, he fears the power that you the ningen's can wield.-Whispered a soft voice in his ear.
The blond saw then a woman dressed in a black corset and skirt, with black silk gloves and red hair tied in a high ponytail, her skin was pale and she had dark purple eyes, she had an ample chest and long fangs, her lips were crimson coloured and she had an innocent smile plastered on her face, all in all she was the most beautiful woman the boy had witnessed.
-¿Like what you see?-Asked the woman smirking.
-¿Who in the bloody hell are you?-Questioned the boy.
-I'm Nyx goddess of the night and death, and you shall be my Erebus.-Said the girl with that innocent smile again. –And I have a proposition for you.-She said talking seriously.
-¿What is it?-Asked the now interested boy.
-¿What would you offer in exchange of giving you the opportunity to take your revenge?-Asked she seductively.
-Everything.-Answered the boy without a doubt and hate filled eyes.
-Then I will take your humanity and soul for myself, you see, I'm a very selfish person too, and what I ask in return of this opportunity is your loyalty and love.-Offered the goddess.
-You got yourself a deal.-Answered Naruto laughing lightly.
-Okay then, let's start the ritual, you have to take out the words from the depths of your soul and heart, free yourself of the foolish human limitations and morals!-Ordered Nyx.
The blond closed his eyes, and started thinking, the clouds covered the moon. Suddenly he felt a pulse, and the words started darting trough his mind, when he opened his eyes again they where blood red.
-Night has finally fallen and my soul craves the darkest of shadows. I let my inhibitions go as I become intoxicated with the night. The darkness gathers me in whit its icy embrace and we become one.-Chanted the boy.
Suddenly his body got up on its own, and he embraced Nyx, and pulled her closer, he could feel her nervousness and eagerness as he neared his face to hers and kissed her passionately, he could hear her moans, and noticed that his wounds didn't hurt anymore, suddenly he got the feeling that he had done this before but shrugged it as nothing. When they separated due to lack of breath he started chanting again.
-Darkness you are my beloved, I am yours completely.-He promised.
-You are mine forever; never again will you desire the light of day, my beloved Erebus.-Said Nyx as she kissed him again.
When they separated once more, the blonde noticed an urge that travelled through his body, suddenly he heard a rhythmical noise; it was her heart.
Slowly but surely he neared her neck with his mouth and bitted in it, slowly drinking her black blood.
As he did so his body experienced some changes, his hair became jet black as his skin paled, his fangs lengthened, the whisker marks on his cheeks vanished and he grew up to the point of being taller than her, but the most noticeable change was the bat tattooed on his chest.
He separated himself from her neck as she orgasmed by the feeling and her eyes went to the back of her head extasied. He lend out a content sigh as he hugged his lover.
In that moment the clouds moved, and everybody was able to see the blood red moon.
A man was running through a dense forest, his face showed an unimaginable fear.
He was a jonin of Otogakure no sato, the hidden sound village, the village ruled by Orochimaru.
He was running for his life towards the big gate that gave access to the village, a pair of blood red glowing eyes following him, lurking in the darkness.
-"¿Do you really think you can get away from me?"-Questioned a dark voice inside his head.
-Leave me alone!-He shouted in despair as he heard a dark chuckling in his mind.
He ran all the way to the closed gates and tried to open them, he realised that they were too heavy to be moved manually, so he started to punch the gate and scream for the guards to open the doors, yet nobody heard him, nobody could actually hear him as he was now inside the darkness. He moved to face the forest, shaking like a leaf, he saw those eyes glowing, calling for his blood, he couldn't take it.
-¡¿A... are you go... going to k... kill me or w...what?-Questioned the man shuttering.
-"¿Why should I kill you?"-Asked the man trough his head.
Seeing as the jonin didn't understand, the man started to talk.
-¿Why should I kill you when I can just assimilate you?-Asked the owner of the red eyes as he lunged in for the kill and bitted the screaming Oto ninja in the neck, sucking his life force and soul in the process.
-"Now now, let's see who I have to kill now"-Thought the red eyed man as he looked into a list of names that he had brought with himself.
The man looked up to see the full moon and scratched a name from the list.
-What a beautiful night, is one of these nights that make me wish to take a bite and drink some blood.-Said the man as he smirked evilly.
-"Let's see who is the one that will die by my blade tonight."-Thought the man as he looked to the list once more and chuckled darkly as he read the next name of the list.
-Itachi Uchiha...-
