Okay, I would like to apologize to everyone who wants an update with my stories Suki Dakara Suki or Blood Falls, as do Tears, but I had a very stubborn author's block. This is to make up for it! Based on the doujin Vampire Dreams (hence the title) by Pierro. It's a oneshot, but if you guys like it, I could continue it. Just let me know if you want. But then that would mean I would have four fanfiction to update! D: ... Oh well, it would keep me busy. xD ENJOY!

EDIT: I reread and fixed all the errors that I could find. Need I remind you, I never beta my work, so there were quite a few. I finally remembered the name of the necklace-cross-thingy. It's called a crucifix :P So I replaced that, too.

Naruto ran down the empty city streets, panting from exhaustion and fear. The blonde unconsciously shuddered. The streets were empty, unusual for the small Italian village. The village was surrounded by the thick, leafy forests, thus nicknamed Paesino Nascosto Afflosciare(1). As Naruto ran, he clutched his crucifix to his chest protectively.

The blonde Italian shuddered once more as he remembered the sweet voice dripping with venom. It rang through his ears and he remembered the eyes. The fierce blood-red eyes that stared so hungrily at him. Though they only shot that hungry gaze for a split second, Naruto had noticed.

Naruto rounded the corner and looked back. He knew he wasn't being chased, but he didn't want to be anywhere near him. It was a natural fear. As he looked down the street and stray tears slipped down his scarred cheeks. Naruto stopped at an alleyway and sat, gasping for breath and staring at the cobblestone road. His cerulean blue eyes were bright with fright until he finally forced himself to calm down. He remembered his unconscious hold on the crucifix and released his grip.

The cold Italian air numbed Naruto's tanned skin and he shivered.

--Earlier--

Naruto entered the large Christian church in search of the priest. He sighed and looked down awkwardly. The church had only a few lights on and was dimly lit.

He knew it was late, but he needed to repent. The blonde frowned when he thought of that annoying grin and snide comments of the chocolate brown haired boy, Kiba. Naruto knew they were just harmless jokes, but they still pissed him off.

Naruto sighed. He shouldn't have punched the tattooed boy. He was his friend. But, that would mean that Kiba had known it would piss him off. Naruto shrugged and rounded the hall calling out.

"Father?" He looked around. "Is anyone still here?"

Naruto almost jumped out of his skin when he heard a melodious voice coming from apparently nowhere.

"Yes…"

The blonde Italian turned around sharp enough to crack his neck. He winced slightly at the whiplash. It was most peculiar that as good as Naruto's cerulean eyes were; he didn't see this man.

He couldn't see the features clearly in the slight dark, but he could clearly see the smirk on the pale man's face. His hair was jet black and was almost as messy as Naruto's. Naruto tried to look for color in his obsidian eyes but was interrupted when the man spoke again.

"Is there something you need?" the beautiful voice seemed to brighten the room and make Naruto seem nervous. Every nerve in his body told Naruto to run, but he couldn't see why. But, just in case, he didn't move any closer as he spoke.

"Um…" was Naruto's brilliant reply. "The priest…"

The man's smirk grew wider until his unnaturally white teeth showed and shimmered slightly.

"As you can see, he isn't here right now." He smiled and said, "My name is Sasuke. May I have your name?"

Naruto just frowned and didn't reply. There was something weird here.

Sasuke smiled again despite the awkwardness and stepped forward, closer to the blonde. He didn't reach his hand outward to shake hands; he just stood there and whispered in Naruto's ear.

"You shouldn't be here so late at night," the Sasuke's cold breath trailed down Naruto's neck and the blond oddly noticed that he could smell mint.

Naruto shivered at the contact and instinctively backed away.

"What are you doing here?" Naruto asked bravely. He wanted to know why this person was here so late at night as well.

Sasuke laughed. His laughter rang like the church bells and his teeth sparkled, his canine teeth sticking out most of all. "Why, I live here."

Naruto was confused. He decided to shoot the question that needed to be asked.

"What are you?"

"I'm a vampire."

--Present--

The next day, Naruto entered the Paesino Nascosto Afflosciare church once more. This time confidently. He wondered if Sasuke was still there. That was a sick joke that man pulled.

He walked through the hall and it was quiet seeing as how it was almost time for the church to close. Naruto's eyes darted to every shadow, somewhat paranoid. He clutched at his necklace and prayed for support.

"Hello, again, Naruto."

Naruto jumped at the melodious voice again and turned sharply, sticking out his silver crucifix.

Sasuke frowned at the action.

"What are you doing?" the raven haired man asked, eyeing the crucifix touching his arm.

Naruto frowned and didn't reply. He replaced his necklace around his neck. He looked up at the pale face. "Don't crosses burn vampires?"

Sasuke had only smirked.

Naruto visited the church everyday, bumping into Sasuke often. Naruto felt confident about his safety. Sasuke rarely spent time outside the church and when he did, it was either dark or really early in the morning. The raven would say that he "liked the cold, brisk air" and not say anything more. Naruto still felt wary around the church, despite his certain belief.

The blonde knew that this man was not a vampire. One day, Naruto decided to take that up to Sasuke.

Naruto entered the church at fifteen minutes to midnight. He checked his watch to confirm his guess and looked around the dimly lit hall. He called out softly.

"Hello…?"

He blinked his eyes several times and yawned. His heart skipped a beat when the voice appeared.

"The priest ain't here. He left already."

The blonde turned to face Sasuke, leaning, bored, against the wall. He wore a fancy button up shirt with a collar, a crimson tie, and black jeans. His raven hair was messy as usual.

"What time do you think it is right now?" Sasuke's pale lips lifted into a smirk.

Naruto frowned and took a step backward, clutching his cross.

"Sasuke…"

Sasuke rolled his eyes, chuckled, and, still leaning casually against the wall, said, "A cross isn't going to work on me. Come on, I'm a vampire living in a church."

The raven vampire removed his back from the wall, walking towards a church bench and sat down. He crossed his legs and leaned his arms against the back of the bench.

"I'll applaud your guts in coming so late at night so often…" Sasuke paused and continued. "Knowing that I'm here."

Naruto still clutched his necklace, relaxing his posture and stating calmly, "Vampires are imaginary creatures."

Sasuke sighed. "You believe in God, but not the Devil."

"I know you're not a vampire, at least," Naruto shot back determinedly. Sasuke raised a brow. Naruto continued.

"You claim to be a vampire, but crosses have no effect on you. You don't fear God." Sasuke sat, not speaking, as Naruto spoke. He seemed uninterested. "You never seem to attack people. You just calmly watch." Naruto took a deep breath. "You're not really a vampire at all!"

There was a brief pause between the two. Sasuke adjusted his position so that he was leaning against his hands and his elbows rested on his lap. He seemed amused at Naruto little spiel.

"…Oh? Want to test your little theory?"

Naruto's eyes widened and he didn't even have time to breathe. He saw the flicker as Sasuke suddenly stood, but quickly disappeared. Naruto gasped just as Sasuke had reappeared behind the blonde. Sasuke seized Naruto's left shoulder and right arm, exposing the right side of the nape of Naruto's tanned neck. The raven vampire grinned as he opened his mouth to reveal two long canine fangs, at least an inch long. He bit down hard.

Naruto gave a silent scream as teeth pierced through his flesh. Blood oozed out of the wound and down his shoulder. The mouth sucked and licked at the blood, enjoying every drop.

"Ah, it hurts…" The blonde groaned in pain and… was that pleasure? His knees buckled underneath him, but Sasuke held him upright. "Ah…"

Naruto finally regained enough energy to shove he body off of him and turned around, hopping backwards. Naruto spilt blood on the church floor and he grasped at his right shoulder and neck to ease the bleeding. His crucifix broke and the sudden jerk of motion and fell to the floor, beads bouncing in every direction. Naruto didn't notice. He was busy staring at the vampire before him, said vampire looking satisfied.

As Naruto gasped for breath, Sasuke stood casually, blood trickling from his mouth, and smirking at the blonde. He wiped the blood off his lips with his thumb and licked it off.

"Surprisingly sweet," he said with another smirk. Naruto was struck with revelation and he straightened.

His eyes are… red... He thought to himself. I'm seeing red.

"Don't worry," Sasuke said, trying to sound reassuring. "All that crap they say about getting your blood sucked by a vampire you'll turn into one or come back to be sucked again…" He paused and slipped his hands into his pockets. "It's all just superstition." Sasuke gave him a sideways glance. "Nothing is going to happen to you."

Naruto inched backwards and dashed out the church, still holding his bleeding shoulder, leaving a smirking vampire. Sasuke heard the door slam and stepped forward, bending to pick up the discarded crucifix.

"But," he said to no one in particular. "You'll come back to be sucked again." He kissed the crucifix.

"No doubt about it."
