The Tragedy of Vampire Love

AN: This story is set in a normal school present day setting eg. Nothing to do with ninjas. Also, Naruto is not tortured for having the Kyuubi and Sasuke's family are still alive. This is the reason for them being OOC.

WARNING: I just wanna say this is a 'gay' fic so don't read on if you don't like that kind of stuff. You have been WARNED.

Chapter 1- A new friend

In the dark of the night, where the big billowing willow trees stand, an old legend still haunts the tranquil, school grounds of Kings Sword High School. A legend which is once thought to have originated from deep within the recesses of ancient history. A legend from inside a small cave which in it, housed a corpse. A corpse with two peculiar looking puncture holes on the side of its neck, with the familiar reek of blood surrounding it...

"Um, yeah... Hi. My name is uh, Sasuke. I come from Kings Sword High School and I'm in year 11, which I guess, many of you should know by now especially seeing as I'm in your class. Um..." Sasuke stopped and stared out the window a bit. 'Here I am making a complete idiot of myself. Stupid schools and their stupid class introductory speeches. Go up there and talk about yourself he said. Don't be afraid he said. Stupid Mr... What was his name again? Oh yeah it was Mr. Umino! Stupid Umino!' Sasuke thought. Eventually though, his line of thought was stopped when he realized he was still being observed by his new classmates. "Oh! Yeah." Sasuke blushed lightly. He had forgotten about his audience. "Um, I also have an older brother and uh, a pet bat?"

"Well, Sasuke. That was a nice introduction. Go take a seat next to Naruto. Wave Naruto, so he knows where you are." Mr. Umino said in a childish voice. Mr. Umino was a kindergarten teacher. He had no idea why the eccentric principal decided to suddenly put him in charge of a year 11 class when he was barely getting by as a year 8 but figured he may as well go with it since 17 years olds were more mature and he got paid more as a year 11 teacher anyway.

Naruto blushed a little and lifted his hand to wave. 'He looks cool.' Naruto thought quietly inside his head, 'I envy his shortish raven hair and his deep ebony eyes, that's gonna make him very popular with the girls…' Naruto was a very shy boy. On the outside, sure, he was loud enough but on then inside well… that was a very different story. Those qualities about him made him a bit of a loner. A cool loner. But nonetheless, still a loner. He had short, choppy, gravity defying hair the colour of sun beams and mesmerising blue eyes but he still had no idea how popular he was with the boys, though he had long since come to terms with his gayness.

"Hey Sasuke!" he yelled from across the room. "Hurry your slow ass up or I'm gonna pour glue on your seat! In case you didn't notice that's the only extra seat we have!"

Sasuke was about to walk up and sit down next to the loudmouth blond that was insulting him, when all of the girls in the class suddenly put their hands up, after drooling over him, waving. Sasuke looked around confusedly. Where was Naruto?

Mr. Umino sighed. 'High school girls. What can you do?' He thought. "Girls, girls, girls," Mr. Umino said finally, "Would all girls not named Naruto put their hands down. Yes, Sakura and Ino. That means you." He added as an afterthought.

One by one the hands went down reluctantly until only Naruto's hand was up. Sasuke felt his confusion lifting and walked over to the desk situated next to Naruto as the girls love struck eyes stared at him and the boys glared jealously at him. He placed his books in his new locker at the back of the classroom, which smelt like week old bread, and sat unceremoniously next to Naruto.

"That's enough excitement for one day." Hatake Kakashi announced as he entered the class room. "It's time to learn SOSE."

As the bell for lunch rang, a horde of girls headed straight for Sasuke's desk which was emptied in his haste to run.

Sasuke eventually slowed down his frantic sprinting around the sports shed area at the back of the school where he stopped to catch his breath. He considered sitting down momentarily but when he heard the frenzied girly squeals just behind the corner, he got right back up again and started running. He was about to go past the shed when an idea came to him. He quickly whipped himself in between the metre or so gap between the back of the shed and the wall and stayed very quiet, waiting for when the girls would pass.

When they did he let go of the breath he didn't realize he was holding and turned around to eat his lunch in peace. He couldn't have people watching him eat now could he? They'd surely notice something. When he did turn around he got a huge shock. There was some guy sitting there wearing the same shocked expression with a piece of sandwich hanging from his mouth. But the thing he noticed the most was the eyes. The stunning blue eyes belonging to the blonde guy sitting there were glowing a little but the glow quickly faded. He chalked it up to his imagination but he couldn't get it out of his head. He eventually realized the person in front of him was Naruto and extended his hand.

"Um, Hey Naruto. I'm Sasuke. I kinda realise that this is probably your spot but do you mind if I share it with you while I attend this school? Because your classmates seem like they want to eat me alive." Sasuke let out a small bit of laughter and grinned as Naruto took his hand. He shook it slightly and tried to make small talk. After all he had to have at least one friend. He needed someone to fully trust him for his plan to work.

"So Naruto... Um, well... Do you like this school?" He asked.

"It's great! Iruka, I mean, Mr. Umino is heaps fun. Oh and Kakashi is kinda alright when you get your head around how late he usually shows up and how much perverted stuff he reads!" He answered quite loudly.

Sasuke racked his brains, trying to find a subject that Naruto couldn't scream out loud at, when Naruto spoke up, not really wanting to lose his first chance at a proper friendship. With a guy anyway. He had plenty of chick friends.

"So," Naruto said hesitantly, "What's that red stuff in your sandwich?"

Sasuke was so relieved he wouldn't have to put up with non-stop yelling that he almost forgot to answer the question. 'How embarrassing! Uchiha's are better than that.' He thought to himself.

"What? Oh this?" Sasuke finally said pointing to his sandwich, "That's just tomato sauce."

Naruto looked at him a bit strangely before he continued. "How come it's so runny, a darker colour and soaked into the bread then?" He asked.

"Oh. Well my family doesn't spend much time at home so the housekeeper buys our groceries for us and she always gets the brands of sauce that are runny but taste good."

Naruto looked at Sasuke weirdly before continuing, trying to understand the words that were coming out of Sasuke's mouth. 'Hmm,' Naruto thought, 'I've never seen any brands of runny tomato sauce...'

"Can I try some?"Naruto asked finally.

Sasuke gulped. "Um…" he said hesitantly, "Well… I kinda didn't have breakfast today so I'm a little hungry… How about you try some tomorrow?"

"Okay." Naruto grinned and they both started talking about everything.

And that was the start of a legendary friendship.

AN: I hate SOSE with a passion!
