He felt the power surging through him. It made his fingers tingle, his eyes sharpen, his strength multiply. He smirked, not knowing where this power was coming from, but he sure did like it. He laughed a maniacal sort of chortle that could have raised the hairs of the bravest person alive. What changed him this day has never been recovered, it wasn't even known to him. Little did he know, he would be living forever, or that he'd have to survive by drinking blood. He would become the father of all that he was. The oldest of what he was. He needed followers, someone to help him with a goal he had been pushing around…but who?

"Teme!" Naruto was hollering again. Sasuke sighed unenthused. He was searching for his next victim. He needed something to sustain him for the long trip home. Slowly, Sasuke turned his onyx gaze onto the blonde.

"What, Dobe?" his voice was pitched low and demanding. A steady glare was leveled off at the boy, although, he didn't seem to notice for he had a giant smile on his face. He was walking toward Sasuke and he was gaining on him fast.

"Kiba says he found something. Cute too," Naruto added with a smirk at Sasuke. Sasuke's emotions never changed, but he followed Naruto after watching him for the longest time. He started to mumble.

"You know I don't like the cute ones," he growled, "they don't taste near as good as the fat ones."

"Yeah, but, Kiba says he thinks you'll like this one. She's got really pretty eyes," Naruto wiggled his eyebrows at him. Sasuke rolled his eyes and allowed Naruto to lead him to the "cute" prey they were about to devour, "Kiba says you can have it. We can go off and find our own."

"But I want a fat one," Sasuke protested, his eyebrows turning downwards in discontent. Naruto eyed him condescendingly and Sasuke held his own, nearly peering to his soul with his onyx gaze. Naruto growled seemingly unfazed by the weight of Sasuke's gaze.

"Fine, I'll take the cute one," Sasuke mumbled. See Naruto was his best friend, even from the time he became the first vampire in history. That was the person that he decided to make his right hand man. All the others came and went whenever they wanted to, "where is this 'cute one'?"

"Right up ahead. Looks like it's heading home, good time for you to attack," Naruto chuckled in spite of what he had said. He knew Sasuke didn't like to attack in the open, much less in public. They reached the square and there were so many people. Sasuke was already getting irritated. He didn't like densely populated areas, or people in general, "right there. The one with the pink hair."

…pink hair? Who has pink hair? Sasuke followed Naruto's pointing finger to a young girl with semi-long pink hair, held back with a headband. She had a small smile on her lips, the happiness reached all the way to her emerald eyes. She was looking at flowers and having a small conversation with the blonde girl standing in the doorway of the little shop. There was a tightness in his chest. What was this? Where was this coming from? He heard Naruto snickering beside him. Sasuke's head whipped around a glare leveled right his friend.

"You knew," he hissed. Naruto snorted, bobbing his head up and down. Sasuke growled his canines growing out of his irritation. Naruto stopped laughing and stared at him again and Sasuke's growl heightened. He stalked off to the girl, knowing what he must do, but not wanting to do it.

"Hey," he slinked to her side. Both girls stared slack jawed at him. Sasuke knew he was handsome in the eyes of women…and gay men…beside the point! Sasuke knew he was handsome in the eyes of others, and he was confident in it also. His prey was stuttering and the other…well…seemed like he lost her when he approached, "you, my dear, are beautiful and I think I'd like to get to know you better."

"I've never seen you around here before," her voice was soft, her eyes downcast. Sasuke smirked, only slightly. I promise I won't kill you. So she's observant. Sasuke supposed she was one of those people who knew everyone in the village. Sasuke shook his head.

"Very observant," he felt his vision shift, the ace in the hole. She smiled up at him, obviously recovered from his appearance, "come with me," he whisked her away and she followed voluntarily. Of course she would, he put her under a trance. He had to mark her and quick before any other vampire found out about her. See this is how this works, if a vampire found their SoulMate, and other vampires found out, or sensed it, they go on the hunt. First come first serve sort of thing. Although, even if they are killed, the humans get reincarnated, so the vampire would have to wait until they meet said human again. Sasuke figured this out. He had, roughly, eight "children". Humans he had changed at the beginning of his vampire life. Some of the people he changed, changed other people and so on and so forth. Some of them don't like the way Sasuke and his followers live and choose to make his life a living hell.

Sasuke shook off the first few times that his SoulMate had been killed because he wasn't fast enough to change her. He didn't want to change her, didn't want her to feel the emptiness, the loneliness of living forever. But every twenty years or so, he'd be drawn to a certain village and there he'd find his SoulMate once again, only to watch her be murdered by the vampires that hated Sasuke. His loneliness increased every time said fact happened. Sasuke sighed, moving to find Naruto and Kiba. He could smell them, they were close.

"Excuse me," the woman said softly from his flank. Sasuke turned his onyx gaze onto her emerald ones. Her cheeks highlighted pink, and she downcast her eyes from him, but kept on with her sentence, "I don't even know your name."

"Sasuke Uchiha. What is your name, Love?" Sasuke put on the charm. He knew she'd remember this later, so he wanted to make it as real as possible.

"Sakura Haruno," Sakura said softly, playing with her fingers. Sasuke held back his smirk; he had to keep his emotions in check. If he showed affection to this girl, she'd surely be killed within the week.

"Hn," was all he said and he turned his gaze back to the front. He noticed Naruto's blonde hair and Kiba's splash of brown hair. Naruto noticed him before Kiba did.

"Teme!" he yelled, completely disregarding Sakura. She seemed dazed, not even paying attention to the scene unfolding before her. Sasuke refrained from flinching at his extremely loud tone. He shot a glare at the boy.

"Dobe, shut up," Sasuke growled, growing exhausted with his loudness. Naruto looked straight at Sakura, then back to Sasuke with a knowledgeable smirk upon his features. Sasuke gave him the 'do not talk' look. Naruto shrugged and introduced himself lightly to the shy girl.

"Hello, my name is Naruto Uzumaki and this is Kiba Inuzuka," Naruto put on his giant smile again. Sasuke could literally see Sakura relaxing in front of him. Naruto had that power to him, the power to make anyone comfortable around him. It was especially strong when he was human and only multiplied in strength after he changed.

"Hello," Kiba greeted politely. He too had a smile on his face. They were both good at showing their emotions, whereas Sasuke just…didn't. Sakura returned their smiles with a dazzling one of her own. It lit up her eyes like the sun had been masked in green.

"My name is Sakura Haruno," she said lightly, the smile still present. He could fall into the depths of that smile and never return out of it. The tightening in his chest was back, it was annoying and he didn't know how he lived with this for twenty years before he was changed.

"Have you found anything? I'd like to head home," Sasuke spoke up next. Sakura was watching him like she had actually forgotten that he was there. Naruto thought for a minute, Sasuke knew he was testing himself, but Sakura was non-the-wiser. Naruto nodded, but Kiba shook his head.

"I need a couple more minutes. Head out a while I'll catch up," Kiba ran into the crowd. Sasuke shook his head. Kiba knew Sasuke didn't like leaving without everyone present but he had run off before Sasuke could convince him otherwise. Sasuke sighed.

"Let's go," he waved the two of them forward. Both Naruto and Sakura followed behind him. He heard Sakura mumble something to Naruto.

"Is he always like this?" she asked in a small voice. He kept his answer to himself, acting as if he hadn't heard what she said; he wanted to hear Naruto's answer to her question. Naruto was silent for a while before he actually answered.

"Yeah, mostly. Once he gets comfy with you it won't be so bad," Sasuke could just barely see Naruto's shrug in his peripheral vision. Now it was Sakura's turn to be silent, Sasuke supposed she was sinking in the new information Naruto gave her.

"Comfortable with me?" she finally asked. Well shit, she wasn't under the spell anymore. He should have known, this happened once before, one of her reincarnations broke out of the trance and he had the hardest time with her until she was murdered by one of his rivals.

"Yeah, he really likes you, you know," Naruto covered quickly, "he may have just met you but he really likes you."

'Nice save, you idiot,' Sasuke thought to himself, subtly shaking his head. He heard Sakura take in a sigh. Her sneakers crunching in the dirt. They just passed through the entrance of the village.

"Where are we going?" she slowed up. Sasuke had no choice. His vision changed again and he looked Sakura right in the eyes, within a minute, she was passed out cold. Sasuke caught her before she hit the ground and that is when he decided to carry her the rest of the way.

"I thought you didn't care to do that," Naruto quoted Sasuke, his voice dripping with sarcasm. It had been years since he'd said that. Sasuke leveled a glare at Naruto and sighed out an explanation.

"I had to," Sasuke said lightly, he had to pitch his voice low; he didn't want Sakura to wake up, since she could break out from his trance. Naruto's eyebrows turned down in confusion and maybe a little bit of annoyance. Sasuke's pace sped up; he had to get home before she woke up. Naruto spoke his question, even though Sasuke already had an idea of what he was going to ask.

"Why don't you just tell her? I mean, you're going to mark her anyways," Naruto shrugged at Sasuke's side. Sasuke refrained from rolling his eyes at the blonde boy. He shifted Sakura into a more comfortable position and took off without answering Naruto's question, "wh—hey!"

"Keep up, Dobe!" Sasuke yelled behind him. He kept his movements graceful and smooth, so not to jostle Sakura and wake her up.

"Sasuke," it was Kakashi, why was he at Sasuke's house? Sasuke greeted him like he had seen him only yesterday, but in all honesty it was nearly a millennium since he had seen Kakashi.

"Kakashi," Sasuke's monotone voice rose not even enough for a human to hear, but Kakashi was a vampire, so it meant that he could hear Sasuke, no matter how low he pitched his voice.

"Got another prey? I thought you liked the fat ones," Kakashi's tone was only joking, but Sasuke wasn't in the mood for it. Seconds later, Naruto came crashing through the bushes, his breathing ragged. He approached the two of them.

"Teme, you know I can't run as fast as you," he growled, his cool blue eyes taking on a reddish tint. Sasuke smirked at him.

"Hn," Sasuke returned his attention to Kakashi standing in the doorway, "what are you doing here, Kakashi?"

"Sasuke, there's a war forming between our two sides," Kakashi seemed reluctant to tell Sasuke. Sasuke supposed it was like pulling teeth to get him to come here in the first place. Sasuke sighed.

"Again? Are you sure this isn't a scam again," Sasuke refused to believe this warning. Sure Kakashi was reliable but the last time Kakashi told Sasuke about the war, it never happened. Sasuke had people stationed all over the world. They would call or send information every week or so, and they reported that the war never happened. Sasuke sighed when Kakashi nodded his head slowly.

"This was a reliable source," his shoulders rose and fell, "Sasuke, you must tread lightly. I see you've found her, again," Sasuke knew what Kakashi was talking about. Kakashi was there when he first lost his SoulMate.

"I did," Sasuke said softly, "and I have to move fast."

"Of course," he stepped aside from the door and let Sasuke hurry in, Naruto close on his heels.

"What are you going to do?" Naruto called after him. Sasuke was moving purposefully throughout the house. He skipped up the stairs, smoothly, and ran to the first open room he had. See he had a huge house in the forest, to accommodate all the vampires that visit him from time to time. Not a minute after he placed her on the bed, she woke up.

"Wh—what happened?" her voice was laced heavily with sleep; she sat up partially on her elbows. Sasuke was standing over her, all brooding and silent, the way he normally does. Slowly she tilted her head upwards, looking him in the eyes, quietly she asks, "have you kidnapped me?"

"Something of that nature, yes," Sasuke shrugged his shoulders. Before she could freak out, he cut in with the important news he had to tell her before anything happened between them, "Sakura," he said, cutting her scream off, "Sakura, I'm a vampire."
