"The Blood of Innocent souls Pours from your cursed lips,
To sustain your unholy and eternal thirst, that stains a white soul crimson"
"From the moment blood passes your lips your body becomes an eternal prison,
To a soul that cries out to feel the bliss of death, not its hollow, taunting kiss"
Chapter 1
He was pacing back and forth, fangs bared down, claws itching to feel soft flesh and warm blood flood over them.
"Why do you protect them?" Sasuke said staring at Naruto with a knowing look in his eye.
"Because they're my friends!" Naruto cried out.
"Even after they ostracized you?! After they tried to kill you?" Sasuke asked with an evil grin spreading across his deathly pale face. Sasuke knew that would start to slowly, but painfully, stab at Naruto's heart. Right then, he was so hungry and ruthless that he wanted to see Naruto break, see him fall into himself from grief. But Naruto didn't. He held his ground, in a fighting crouch, posed for Sasuke.
"Yes. Just because they weren't kind to me, doesn't mean I cant try! " Naruto said, eyes determined and mouth set.
"Don't kid me." said Sasuke, picking his teeth.
Naruto glared at him, cerulean meeting garnet. Sasuke's almost lifeless eyes stared sown the blonde's lively blue ones.
Inside, Naruto was fighting the feelings that were starting to creep up from his now knotted stomach.
Sasuke sensed his emotions and smirked at him. He knew that Naruto couldn't concentrate when his emotions were this high. An evil grin spread across Sasuke's face. He raced past Naruto out of the alley and headed straight for the market.
Naruto saw a flash of blood and ran at top speed toward the source of the newly formed screaming. When he arrived in the center of the market place, he saw 2 blood drained copses on the ground, and Sasuke bent over another. Sasukethrew the now finished corpse to the side, staring at Naruto with the most horrible bloodied, sinful grin on his face. His garnet eyes stared straight into Naruto's. With that Naruto felt the feeling take him over. He bent down and tucked his chin between his knees, still trying to hold back the tears that were now poured from his cerulean eyes.
"You're weak." Sasuke said softly in Naruto's ear. He was crouched over Naruto, almost as if to embrace him. But suddenly he dug his claws into Naruto's shoulder, though only drawing a minimal amount of blood.
"My world is the only one that does not bring pain. It won't betray you like this one. It is the only place left for you." Sasuke whispered, digging his claws deeper into Naruto's shoulder. Naruto had stopped the tears. In his mind, Sasuke's words were starting to fit, to make sense. He thought of how good it would be, to feel that speed, and that power. But then he looked around him and saw the corpses lying sprawled across the grass, faces twisted into a mask of anguish and pain. He thought of how their families would miss them, and how they could never come back.
"I'm not so sure Iruka and Kakashi would like that." Naruto said after a while, a determined grin spreading across his face.
"oh really? Are you so sure?" Sasuke said, his evil grin widening, showing more of his blood stained teeth. With that said, he disappeared into a mist of black vapor.
Naruto suddenly felt the pain in his shoulder, and the exhaustion he felt throughout his entire body. He felt so lightheaded that he just lay back on the cold stone, and before he knew it, he was asleep.
When Naruto finally woke up, he realized he was in a very comfortable bed. He didn't want to open his eyes, but his body did it for him anyway. He was in a clean, white walled room, with green shades on the window, that were closed. There was an assortment of flowers in a vase, with some cards attached. He smiled slightly at the flowers, but then the words of the night before came flooding back to him.
"oh really? Are you so sure?"
Sasuke's voice echoed in his head. And then it hit him. Sasuke was going to kill Iruka, Kakashi or Sakura. He was about to jump out of bed to warn them, but suddenly the pain in his shoulder resurfaced."Eeeergg……ow" He groaned lightly, gritting his teeth.
A nurse must have been walking by, because she came in and greeted him.
"Would you like some sedatives?" She asked polity, looking him over.
"No." He said bluntly. The nurse walked out the door carrying her things with her.
Naruto knew he shouldn't move, but he got out of the bed anyway. He walked over and stared out the window. He thought about the past week, and all that had happened came crashing down on him.
"That man…….Orochimaru…..He was the one that caused all of this."
He had been th one who bit Sasuke. He had disappeared and left Sasuke to the agony of the transformation. Naruto and Sakura had stuck with him in that forest, waiting for the pain to subside. They had drifted off to sleep for just a little while, and he was gone. They stayed put and he had returned after a while. They only strange thing was that his eyes were a deep scarlet. They continued to the tower, but once they had succeeded , Sasuke disappeared again. That had been about the time that the strange epidemic had occurred. People were being carted into the hospital almost by the dozens. All the people were either already dead with their blood completely drained, or screaming out in agony for the fire to stop. The medic nins were completely at a loss as to why this was happening. And to what was happening. But Naruto knew. He knew that those people had been drained of blood by a vampire. He had seen it, and now, Sasuke wanted Naruto to join him.Shivers ran down his spine as cold wet rain started to lap up against the window.
"So, baka, you've finally figured it out, by the stupid look on your face." Naruto felt the whisperers breath, cold on his neck. Shivers of terror ran up and down his spine. He smelt the sweet breath, with just a hint of metallic in it. He knew it was Sasuke. The had clutching his shoulders was deathly white. Yup.
The grip wasn't hard, but his shoulder started to tingle. "Just remember," Sasuke said, and Naruto knew he was grinning "I'm giving you a free pass right now, but later, you'll be begging for all the pain to go away."
Naruto turned around and was staring straight into a dazzlingly white grin. He would have thought the grin to be quite beautiful if he hadn't known the maniacal truth to it.
The dagger sharp teeth snapped at Naruto and stopped barely a millimeter away from the crook of his neck. "this is your last chance to go peacefully, Naruto." Sasuke said, with his mouth almost touching Naruto's neck.
The temptation washed over Naruto again, but this time he thought of Sakura, Kakashi and Iruka, and the danger he would put them in if he listened to Sasuke.
As he thought of this, he remained completely still, a plan forming in his mind.
Suddenly, Naruto turned around and aimed a right hook for Sasuke's ribs. Before Naruto's fist was even close to him, Sasuke clamped his hand down on Naruto's fist. He squeezed very hard, and Naruto heard cracking I his hand. He felt the pain of splintered bones stabbing at him.
"you'll regret not taking this chance." Sasuke said, and disappeared into a mist of black vapor.
He let out a cry of pain from not only his shattered hand, but also the fact that his best friend had been taken from him. He knew Sasuke would come for him, and turn him by force if he had to. Naruto knew that Sasuke had turned into a creature that craved blood, and could be as vicious as he needed. He had extreme speed and strength, and an eternity to live. He could bide his time until he thought Naruto was weakest, then strike. Or he could start taking out Naruto's friends, slowly and one by one.
Naruto was scared stiff. He knew that any way, Sasuke would win. Either that, or he wouldn't stop until he did.
Naruto realized that he was shivering. The rain outside was getting harder and he saw a huge flash of branch lightning color the sky a glowing white. He closed the curtains as he felt piercing eyes upon him. He climbed into bed and curled into a tight ball. He tightly shut his eyes and fell asleep
In his sleep, he had a strange dream. Naruto was drowning in the ocean, and something was pulling him down. He was flailing his arms and screaming for help, but nobody came. Then, someone appeared at the edge of the small cliff. It was Sasuke. Instead of helping Naruto, he just stared down at him lifelessly. The water calmed down, and there was an eerie silence. Suddenly, he saw something rising out of the water. He waded over to it but caught his breath in horror as he stared at it. He was staring into Sakura's dead face, floating up to the surface. He looked around and saw Iruka, then Kakashi and Konohamaru floating up. He looked around himself at all the people, whose lives were taken. Anger welled up inside of Naruto as more bodies rose to the surface. He looked up to glare at the creature responsible for this nightmare. He saw Sasuke smiling down at him, and lips forming the words, "You're mine now."
