Waltz of the Damned
Chapter 1: Prologue
Disclaimer: No, I do not own Naruto, I am not Kishimoto, and I'm not making any kind of profit off this, so all the lawyers can kindly back off now.
Summary: VampNaru Genfic Five Thousand years ago, shinobi did not exist; instead, vampires ruled every corner of the world. Three thousand years later, the Namikaze Empire fell to the hands of a traitor. Look out world, the Namikazes are back, starting with a boy named Naruto.
Mandy: Yes, this is a rewrite of one of my old fics, Double Royalty: Vampyre (winces at the misspelled name). Since I didn't think that the fic is salvageable anymore (considering how many times I winced while reading it), I've decided to rewrite it. I don't have an update schedule; I'm in high school, I'm really busy with the classes, so I update whenever I can or I feel like I can write a decent chapter. This story will not follow the current Naruto plot; it will probably diverge a bit after the Tsunade retrieval arc, and Naruto is a bit colder and more intelligent in this story. No more orange, no more shouting off the top of his lungs.
Also, just to clarify some things, no, Naruto does not sparkle. This is NOT a Twilight vampire story.
The midnight bell strikes an echoing ring as the full moon peers at the earth through misty clouds. The inhabitants of Konohagakure are all fast asleep, awaiting the arrival of the next day, all except for one. Uzumaki- no, Namikaze- Naruto sat on the tiled roof of the Namikaze Mansion, disguised as a broken down apartment complex, looking up at the gently glowing moon with cerulean blue eyes. A sharp white fang peaked through as a corner of his lips drew upwards in a wry smirk.
'Ne, Kyuubi-sensei, I'm going to graduate this time.'
'Oh? Why the sudden change of heart?'
'I have a feeling that Sasuke would be worth keeping an eye on. His 'quest' for vengeance is most amusing.'
'I'm increasing your air pressure seals for that. You mustn't blow your cover.'
'I know.'
'Go get some sleep, brat. Tomorrow is your 'big day' after all.'
As a vampire, the blonde does not need as much sleep as humans, but he is still a growing child.
Snickering, Naruto descended from the roof and leapt back into his spacious bedroom through the window. He promptly changed into his bedclothes and collapsed on the silky sheets of his bed, slowly drifting off to the comfort of sleep.
Preview:
Cursing under his breath at his own mistake, Naruto released his seals and ran out the front door, leaving behind a streak of yellow in his wake.
"Thank you for kindly donating your blood. Granted, the quality is not as high as I'm used to, and the taste is a bit off, but your death shall serve to give me life."
Brushing off layers of dust accumulated through the years, Naruto flipped the book over and saw the title; The Diary of Namikaze Minato.
When they looked up from the book, all that was left of the blonde was a couple of gently swaying leaves.
