Suri- Like, oh my god, it's been so long since I've had the pleasure of writing for my many fans.!

Teki- I doubt it's been a pleasure for them

Suri- Shut up while you're ahead, little brother, I'm in a good mood...for now. Now, say the lines I gave you before I kick your ass into next week.

Teki- We don't own Naruto or any of it's characters that we use in this story.

Suri- I would also like to add to that that I own this story, profusely, in fact, with my own characters of course, I will be attempting to publish it. SO if I succeed, please support your local fan-fictionist by buying my book. Now, as I have said many times before this. On with da fic!

POV

Prologue

Curled among the shifting shadows, a huddled figure hides beyond our line of sight. As she has been alone so long, she shies from human contact. Maybe she is no longer of our species, considering how she watches us, yearning for our interactions, our friendship. One would not think it possible to stray to a point so far beyond human nature that it would be considered unhealthy, or even unnatural. People have tried, and failed, to drag her from her safe haven of darkness, but she refuses to budge. It's almost as if she's watching, waiting for one particular person, and anyone but them is unwelcome.

Watch carefully and you might see a flicker of light wash over her sunken features. Her long pink hair hangs in tangled tendrils over her hunched shoulders. The once beautiful red gown hangs loosely over her famished frame. Her crazed emerald eyes, always watching, always seeing, but more fearful yet- always knowing.

We've always wondered how long she has been there. It couldn't have been to long, considering how she appears no older than eighteen, but surely long enough to reduce her to this depressing solitary state. Makes you ponder about what in this world made her retreat to it been so horrifyingly terrible that it could have done the same to anyone in her position..? Maybe we will never know. For now, we will continue to watch, wait, and hope for her salvation.

? POV (( Means you'll find out later))

How..? How could there be more..? More who watch from the darkness of the shadows, almost as if watching is all they live for. Now there is a boy, of course in better condition than that girl, but why he waits in the darkest depths is but a mystery. Surely he could survive in normalness, unlike the captivating girl. Surely he has no need to hide in seclusion.

I can not tell you for sure if his clothes are not in tatters, or if his hair is unkept, for I myself do not even know. All that is visible of him are his eyes, glowing red eyes that stare in hunger at that beautiful girl. Then how do I know that he is a boy, you may wonder. Well, why else would he be staring with wicked longing at my girl..?

Yes, she is mine, she has been since I first laid eyes on her. I hoped that I could be the one she's waited for, that I could be her salvation. Though now it appears that I am not the only one after her attention. The boy- the other shadow lurker... Wait...he moved his eyes, only a flicker, but they moved. They glanced long enough to glare at me, to challenge me. No...he can not have her...

? POV ((I know that's probably getting annoying))

How dare he? Have I been gone long enough that my scent has faded from her pale skin? Nobody...and I mean nobody touches what is mine. A fair while ago that would have been punishable by death, at my hands of course, why would I want to let someone else kill him. Do I look like an idiot to you..?

I am Sasuke, Lord of the Shadows, who is definitely not an idiot..! And if you must know, yes I am a lord, a feared one at that. People would tremble at my feet in fear of my wrath, well, all but him... Why isn't this imbecile trembling..? Can he not see that I'm angry..? Can He not see my fangs..? And yet he continues to stare at what is mine...

The nerve of peasants these days, don't know when to show proper respect. Any other day I would have struck the fool down, but not today. What? Why on earth is she looking at him? Maybe- maybe she doesn't see me lurking in the shadows, maybe she has not yet noticed my return. But trust me...she will soon.. I swear she will...

"The Girls" POV

That scent, so deliciously sweet. I want it, I want him. Why him, why this inferior mortal..? Sasuke will, of course be furious, but I had to put up with Karin, so he will just have to put up with Naruto! His blonde hair, his blue eyes, I want him to belong to me, and only me... I don't know if I can wait, it's been so long since I last fed, and even then that peasant didn't smell this mouth watering.

Oh Sasuke, he thinks I haven't seen him, but that's not why I continue to stare at Naruto. Sasuke of all people should understand this hunger, but then again, he does have Karin. Ugh, I can't stand that woman! Why did he have to choose her.? She thinks she's so much better than me!

She thinks that Sasuke loves her more than me, but she doesn't know that he never felt anything close to love for her, barely even lust, which he still shouldn't be feeling for her..! If only I could act against her, but I know I can't, that would result in my punishment. after all, a lady could never act against her lord...

Suri- Well, what do you think? Remember, if you don't review I don't know what you don't like, and besides the more reviews I get the faster the next installment comes out. Until Next time..!
