Okay, this is gonna be kind of short, just something that came to me while I sat in my room doing nothing, under hurricane watch.
Warning! This is yaoi! Rated for language, mentions of and slight performances of sexuality, and all that cool vampire shit.
Just a note: This is mostly SasuNaru, some mentionings of ItaDei. Sasuke may seem a bit OOC, but he's crude for a reason. He's an asshole. In the Narutoverse, but slight changes for the sake of the story.
On with the story!!
--
Lately, in the village of Konohagakure, unrest had settled in. At least one or two of its citizens would disappear every night. Many of the villagers were becoming worried for their own lives. Rumors spread that it might be a serial killer or some kind of mass murderer, however, it was evident that all of the victims didn't really have too much in common. Also, some of the bodies had been discovered thanks to the skillful noses of ninja dogs. Rumors also spread about the horrifying state the bodies were in: some still had their eyes wide open and fear still in their deceased faces; all of the bodies were drained of their blood.
Tsunade sat at her desk, drumming her painted nails on the varnished wood, downing shot after shot of sake, attempting to temporarily drown out her current worries and stresses. As the Godaime, it was her duty to look after the village and protect its people. However, given the current situation, she was unable to do a single thing to prevent the onslaught of deaths. She had sent the ANBU and Jounin to search and keep close watch over everything that happened in the streets, she had all of the current visitors' backgrounds checked, and had autopsies performed on all of the found bodies. The searches reported nothing out of the ordinary, the visitors were all clear, and it was always the same for all the autopsies: drained of blood through two puncture wounds in the jugular, and no scent or DNA of the attacker could be discovered on them. The only thing that really seemed out of the ordinary was the sudden tremendous flock of bats nesting around the village.
"Tsunade-sama!"
The blond Hokage looked up half-heartedly to answer the person who had just rushed through the door, "What is it, Shizune?"
The short haired, brunette assistant to the blond stepped foreward, her face bright, "You need to come see this, Tsunade-sama! I believe we've discovered the secret behind the murders!"
"WHAT?!" she exclaimed, abruptly snapping out of her slightly drunken state.
Practically jumping out of her seat behind her desk, she all but ran, Shizune leading the way, to where this discovery was located. When she entered the specified room, she found Yamato, Kakashi, and a few other ANBU standing around a boy, about seventeen or so, unconscious, laying on the floor.
"What is this?"
"Hokage-sama," Yamato spoke up, "we are sure to believe this boy is the cause of the recent murders."
"This boy? He's just a boy! How could he possibly murder all of those people?"
"He fits everything," said Kakashi, taking a step forward and kneeling down next to the sleeping boy, "one of my dogs caught him attacking a girl earlier this evening. He bit her neck, and, as we believe, drank her blood. We rushed in and tried to save her, but it was unfortunately too late. He put up a great fight, with what seemed like supernatural powers. He sprouted bat-like wings and all of the bats in the area flew in and attacked us. We lost about five ANBU and three Jounin. We were finally able to defeat him when Yamato struck him through the heart. He broke off the wood in his chest, as you can see." Kakashi turned the boy around to lay on his back, and Tsunade caught sight of the wood jutting from his chest.
"However, also as you can see, he's still breathing," Yamato spoke, "Somehow, he's still alive, he's just sleeping, like in a comatose state of sorts."
"So, do you think," Tsunade spoke darkly, "that if we remove the wood from his heart, he'll wake up?"
"Yes, and kill us all. I highly doubt he'll allow us to get to his heart again..."
The Godaime's face was grim, the shadows making her look twenty years older, "Can you seal him somewhere? Somewhere we can keep watch over him and observe him. Maybe we can get some kind of information out of him. Looking at him now, I don't believe he's the only one of his kind."

"There's something I feel I need to show you all," Tsunade spoke from behind her desk, fingers laced, staring down the ANBU trainees in front of her.
"I-is it about the recent deaths, Tsunade-sama?" asked the now seventeen year old, Haruno Sakura, fear and slight anxiety lacing her words.
"Yes. We have found and captured the culprit he-"
"Just wait till I get a piece of him! I'll teach him a thing or two, hurting all those innocent people!" roared the shrill voice of Uzumaki Naruto.
"I'm sure all of you have the same idea in mind, but coming into physical contact with him is out of the question. He is absolutely too dangerous."
"Why?!"
Tsunade gave the obnoxious blond a hard look before sighing and standing up, walking over to the door, "all of you, come with me."
The trainees consisting of Naruto, Sakura, Ino, Choji, Shikamaru, Hinata, Kiba, and Shino, followed their Hokage down below to the underground lab site where the autopsies and other investigative work was performed. They entered a room with a smaller glass room in the center. Within the glass box was a cot with a ghostly pale boy with midnight black hair, sleeping upon it.
"What the hell is this?! That guy looks our age!" Kiba exclaimed, receiving agreeing remarks from Naruto and Choji.
"You can't be fooled by how old he looks. He's behind everything, from the bats flocking around the village to the deaths of all the villagers, ANBU, and Jounin. Kakashi pointed out that none of his ninja dogs will even go near him."
"Yeah, I can see why," Kiba said, pinching his nose, "he smells like death."
"No, worse," everyone looked to the side to find the masked, white haired ninja in the doorway, "old death."
"W-what's old d-death?" Hinata stutteringly questioned.
"It means he's been dead for a long, long time," Shikamaru spoke.
"So, he's like, a zombie?!"
"Not quite, Ino. Something else, something worse," Tsunade spoke gimly, "Shikamaru."
"Yes, Tsunade-sama?"
"Use your shadows to pull out the wood embedded in his chest."
Shikamaru used the appropriate hand signs and sent his shadow through and grabbed hold of the wood firmly and tugged at it. The very instant it was pulled out of the wound, the raven boy gasped, his eyes shooting open. He jerkily, yet swiftly, twisted around on the cot into a position where his face was hidden by his hair and fists, propping himself up on his forearms and knees, sharply taking in breaths.
"You! Boy!" Tsunade called out to the raven. He turned his head slightly in her direction, crimson eyes shown through his veil of raven bangs. Before she could finish her command, in the blink of an eye, the boy was against the glass, suspended in midair by his thick leathery wings, sprouted from his back, shaped like large claws, digging into the glass. His eyes were glowing a deep crimson and his face was distorted into a snarl, inch-long pearlescent white fangs jutting from his upper jaw where his canines would be located. Everyone, save for Tsunade and Kakashi, jumped back at the sudden attempted attack.
"You'd better stop trying now and preserve your strength. Those glass walls have a barrier jutsu on them. There's no way you can get out," Tsunade spoke triumphantly, staring the raven down.
He seemed to calm down some and lowered himself to the floor, drawing his wings back into his back, and his eyes dulling down but still staying their shocking crimson color. He rested his forehead against the glass and raked his clawed nails against the glass, the shrill sound causing his audience to wince. He smirked sadistically, staring the Hokage down.
"Tell us. What are you, boy?"
He chuckled at the order and widened the smirk across his supernaturally handsome face, "Do you know what I'm going to do first thing when I get out of here?"
The first thing Tsunade noticed was that his speech was distorted by a fairly strong accent, from her studies, she assumed it could possibly be ancient Japanese. If so, this boy was very, very old. She shifted her wait from one foot to the other and crossed her arms, never breaking eye contact with him, "What will you do?"
He sneered and bared his fangs again, menacingly, an evil gleam in his eyes, "Heh, well, first, I'm going to hold you down with my wings while I gouge out your eyes. Then, I'll probably skull fuck your empty sockets and ejaculate into your brain," at this, many of the others winced, Tsunade stood firm, her expression never changing. He snickered, "then, I'll dig my claws into your side and shred your stomach, pull out your guts, put them in a bowl to string around a tree later. And then I'm going to rip out your heart and eat it."
"Well, now that that's established, I would appreciate it if you'd answer my question."
"Hmph, if you just wanted to interrogate me, you could have just asked. And we could've done without the hassle of putting me in here. Plus, I would've had a better first impression of you. I probably would've been nicer to you and wouldn't have had the desire to rip your throat out."
"And you would have answered without a hassle?"
"Of course. I tell all my victims if they ask. But you have to give me something in exchange for my information. That includes anyone who hears as well," he said peering over to the group, relishing in the fear he saw in their eyes.
"And what must they give?"
"Their entire life essence."
"So they must basically give their lives to you in blood."
"Precisely. And if you accept, I'll have to kill all of you once I get out of here."
"Fine. I accept. Now tell me, boy. What are you?"
"Hn...," he smirked, "I'm a vampire."
"A vampire?"
"Yes, a very old one as you may have guessed. I have lived for about 863 years now. I've been a vampire for 846 years."
"What do you mean by that?"
"Vampires aren't born. They're created. A vampire can transform humans into vampires."
"So you used to be human?"
"Yes. My name is Sasuke. Don't refer to me as 'boy' again, and if you refer to me as 'vampire,' I'm going to rip off your breasts and shove them down your throat. Anyway, back in ancient Japan, my clan, the Uchihas were very powerful warlords. Due to illness and war, my older brother and I were the only heirs left. My brother, Itachi, at 21, became very ill. A mysterious traveler came by and said he could heal Itachi. He ended up kidnapping him. I was fifteen then. When I was seventeen, Itachi returned healthy and radiating unearthly beauty, clutched in his hand was the head of his kidnapper, a vampire. Itachi burned the vampire's head in front of everyone and then proceeded to slaughter our entire clan, sparing only me. He told me he did it for my own benefit and then he turned me into a vampire, just like him. My strength grew tenfold during the initial transformation and I only grow stronger as the years pass. As you know, piercing my heart will put me to sleep, but other than that, there is no way you can possibly harm me. My wound has been healed for a while now."
"Why do you kill these people?"
"Why? I need to. I'll never die, no matter what, but my body uses up my blood in order to function. Unfortunately, my body doesn't make new blood. So, since I used to be human, I need to take blood from humans to keep myself working properly. Otherwise, my entire body is wracked by unbearable pain...Anything else?"
"How can you bring yourself to kill these people the way you do," Sakura asked, her voice shaky, "if you used to be human too?"
"Well, vampires still have their human emotions. When, a vampire is first turned, their sentimentality for life still lingers. It makes it terribly hard for one to get used to killing. But, the fact remains that a vampire must kill and feed on humans regularly. A vampire must accept that fact and deal with it. It makes it a bit easier for us to kill when we think of humans from an outside view. How truly inhumane humanity really is. A vampire watches human behavior and becomes disgusted with it. Plus, we are the sort of population control for humans."
"Population control?!"
"Humans kill all the time. Whether its plants, animals, or other humans. You feel you must conquer and destroy everything around you. You have no respect for anything and you feel you must destroy what you don't understand. Its disgusting really. And to think I used to be one of you."
Sasuke peered around to catch the looks on everyone's faces.
"Although...there are exceptions..."
Naruto had been staring at the floor the entire time Sasuke spoke, but at that last comment, he looked up to find crimson eyes staring straight into his soul.
