Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or its characters. I also do not own OTEP "Ghostflowers.
I wrote this story just because actually. This is the first chapter. Hope you like. It shouldn't be too long though.
Vampires and Slayers
Sasuke, Kiba, Shikamaru, Neji, and Gaara walked into the building feeling very nervous as soon as they were inside. Naruto had been missing for a good three months and they had been sent out to find him, though they didn't know why their search had led them here. This place was like emo/Goth heaven. It was more like an underground club. Everything was dark and the only light was from dark blue and purple lights positioned around the room. Everyone was wearing black.
"This should suit you fine, Sasuke," Kiba commented, and Sasuke growled at him, glaring.
All eyes were on the group as they entered and some frowned, turning away from their presence completely. Then all eyes were on the stage as a certain blonde came on, frowning at the group.
"Okay everyone!" he said, speaking from a microphone now in his hands, "It seems we have some guests."
Naruto smirked at the five.
"How about we give them a song?" he asked.
The people in the room shouted in unison for a song and Naruto's smirk widened.
Suddenly, the room got darker and music started to play, and the group wondered what Naruto was doing.
And she's a killer
And she's a keeper...
Naruto looked straight at the group, smiling sinisterly as he did, and the group shivered slightly as they saw two long canine teeth come just over his bottom lip. The blonde continued to sing the song, his voice soft.
Am i blurry Was i just
In your vision
A poor decision
Sasuke frowned. Just what had happened to Naruto to make him come here, then he watched as the blonde pulled out a kunai and the group watched in horror as he closed his eyes and ran the kunai from his neck down to his chest and then cut down his left arm, letting blood run freely down his arm and neck.
Cut me open
With precision
The blonde smirked as the people cried out, their hands reaching out to him, wanting his blood.
and we'll finger Tell me what have i done To watch you lose
The incision
(quid pro quo)
Control
Naruto's voice turned from a whisper to loud, raspy scream that sounded as if it hurt his throat to make it. Then just as quickly, it turned soft again.
I will give you sanctuary
In these hymns of Thanatos...
Naruto's voice rose again and he smirked, his blood running faster and making him feel slightly dizzy, but at the same time, making him feel complete.
I will give you sanctuary!
The group watchedin disbelief as they watched the blonde, wondering how he had took up singing and masochism. Then the blonde's voice turned almost taunting.
You want to You want to
See me burn
I am living fire!
See me burn
I am LIVING FIRE!
"What do you think happened to him?" Neji asked.
"I like it," Kiba said, and everyone frowned at him, "I meant the song…of course."
"These people want his blood," Gaara said, frowning, "It's like they want to taste it."
The group looked around and saw the blood lust and realized Gaara was right.
You will know me You will know me You will know me Shapeless vengeance! We are the 1000 children of death.
By the scars i bare
By the hate i swear
By the scars i bare
"This song sounds kind of harsh, don't you think?" Kiba said.
"I thought you liked it," Shikamaru commented and Kiba frowned.
"This song is about suicide," Gaara said.
Everyone looked at him.
"Listen to the words," the red head said.
I'm in-between, on the fence I'll split you open
We're in-between, on the fence
Non-descript antagonists
Non-descript antagonist!
At these words, the group looked worried.
Naruto lifted the kunai and closed his eyes and then in one swift movement, stabbed himself in the stomach, but he did not stop singing, even as his blood spilled onto the floor of the stage.
Climb inside
Lose myself
Eaten alive
"He's gone crazy," Kiba said, and Akamaru barked from his shirt in agreement.
"Should we help him?" Neji asked, "He could bleed to death."
"No," Gaara said and Sasuke looked at him, "I have a feeling he's done this more than once."
Sasuke nodded and then turned back, looking back at Naruto.
We are the 1000 children of death! From seraphim! She's picking ghostflowers
To nephilim!
To exodus!
From her soul
Naruto lifted his head to the ceiling and smiled to the group's surprise. The blonde ran a hand over his stomach wound and the group was surprised to see that the wound was healed.
She's picking ghostflowers She's tonguing splinters You will know me You will know me You will know me YOU WILL KNOW ME!
She's clipping the wings
Of fallen angels!
From her soul
Of broken halos!
By the scars i bare.
By the hate i swear.
By the scars i bare.
Naruto screamed out the words and sounded almost in pain as if it were affecting his very being to sing this song.
From gelatin I WILL BE AVENGED. These are the secrets
To specimen
To emptiness
I WILL BE AVENGED.
We are the 1000 children of death.
That kill. that kill.
That kill. that kill.
That kill. that kill.
That kill. that kill.
The last words were sung by everyone in the room except for the newcomers and said with a finality that said that they believed they were the 1,000 children of death.
Naruto sighed and fell to his knees, panting slightly. He looked to the five and then at his hand.
The five watched as he lifted the bloody appendage to his lips and licked the blood from his fingers, making the crowd scream for a chance to get a taste.
Naruto sighed and stood up and ran his kunai across his arms and put them out to the crowd, who greedily caught the dripping blood in their mouths.
Sasuke and the others were horrified by the scene and Naruto looked at them in apology before pulling away, taking a few steps back. Then a shadow came over the room and Naruto frowned deeply as a figure appeared behind him. He was instantly grabbed and a kunai was placed to his already cut neck.
Naruto watched as the crowd screamed, their canines growing as they glared at the man.
Naruto broke free from the man and turned to the crowd.
"Don't let your hunger overpower you!" he cried, "You can control it."
The people growled, but calmed a little, and Naruto looked into each of their eyes, seeing their question.
"Yes," he said in answer, "This is my vampire slayer."
The crowd screamed in fury.
Naruto looked to the group of five in the ravenous crowd and jerked his head towards the exit.
'Go,' he mouthed.
"I think we should follow his suggestion," Gaara said, "quickly…"
The rest of the team nodded and went to the exit, but were stopped by a crowd of people, who glared at them.
Naruto frowned and jumped forward in front of them with inhuman agility, hissing, two long, pearly, canine teeth of his own showing.
"Let them go!" he yelled.
The group melted under the glare now on them and parted.
"Go," Naruto said softly, then he whispered, "I'll be right behind you."
The group nodded and went out of the building.
Naruto jumped back on stage and turned to the man that had been holding him hostage a few seconds ago and smirked.
"Shall we go?" he asked.
Naruto couldn't see the man's face from under a long brimmed hat, but he could have sworn he could see the signs of a smirk on the man's face as he ran forward, grabbing him by the waist and then swung them to the exit from a cord hanging fro the ceiling. The two ran out and were met with Sasuke and the others.
"We have to go," Naruto said quickly, running down the street and the others followed.
The crowd from the club rushed out and hissed, running after the group.
Naruto looked back and ran a little faster.
"We have to hide," he said, "Or fight back."
"Right," the unknown man of the group said, pulling out a gun as he ran and cocking it.
Naruto's eyes widened.
"Yuri no!" he said, "You can't kill them."
The man sighed.
"Really you take out all the fun in this," he said, but he didn't put his gun away, making Naruto frowned deeply at him.
"Yuri, put the gun away," he said.
Yuri rolled his eyes from under his hat.
"I'm just keeping it out just in case," he said.
"In case what?!" Naruto shrieked.
At that very moment, one of the people behind them jumped out in front of them and Naruto watched in horror as the person in particular's head blew up suddenly in a splurge of blood and the blonde then turned glaring accusingly at Yuri, who merely shrugged.
"In case that," he said as he kept running, and Naruto growled and ran after him.
"So what are these things?" Kiba asked.
"Vampires," Gaara said.
Naruto smirked.
"Well you're observant," he said.
"Why are they chasing us?" Sasuke asked.
"Yeah, we didn't do anything to them," Shikamaru said.
Naruto sighed.
"They're just a little bit hungry," he said, positioning his finger and thumb an inch apart from the other as he described it.
"A little bit?" Yuri asked, lifting an unseen eyebrow, "You call that a little bit?"
Naruto looked back and saw the crowd coming at them, their eyes filled with blood lust and hunger and sighed.
"Okay," he said, "Maybe a little bit more than a little bit."
Yuri sighed.
"Just let me take care of them," he said, "Just a few shots and—"
"No!" Naruto said, frowning, "You're not killing all of them."
"I wasn't going to kill all of them, just a few," Yuri said.
"Which would contribute to our already declining population," Naruto growled.
"You're such a-a—"
"A what, Hellsing?" Naruto frowned.
Yuri growled.
"You're a spoil sport," he said, "That's what you are."
"Just because you get pleasure from killing defenseless vampire clans—"
"Defenseless?!" Yuri shrieked.
"While they were sleeping!" Naruto finished his sentence and Yuri frowned.
"They had it coming," the man said.
Naruto sighed.
"You deserve everything they do to you," he said.
Yuri growled and was about to say something, but was interrupted by a shriek that came from behind them.
Naruto looked back and instantly ducked, falling on the ground as one of the vampires tried to swoop down and catch him.
Naruto looked up from the ground, frowning deeply.
"Why me?" he asked, getting to his feet and looking behind him at a whole group of bloodthirsty vampires, "Uh Oh!"
Naruto took off after the group that was only a few feet away and jumped in front of them, a group trailing behind him.
Yuri frowned.
"Fight back, you idiot!" he yelled to the blonde.
"No," Naruto yelled back, "They're part of my clan."
"Whatever," Yuri said, stopping, two guns now in hand. The group kept running, but looked back to see Yuri shooting at the vampires, killing them off two at a time with his bullets.
The vampires behind Naruto stopped when they heard the shrieks of the fallen and ran back.
Naruto frowned and stopped, running back, grabbing two of the one's that had been chasing him and throwing them backwards as he continued to run back to Yuri.
"Yuri watch out!" he yelled and Yuri turned around, shooting the vampire closest to him and then the other, before turning to shoot the one's coming at him from the front.
Naruto sighed in relief, but was more than a little disappointed at how Yuri had chose to handle the situation.
"Yuri…" he sighed, shaking his head.
"Naruto!" Sasuke yelled, suddenly and Naruto gasped, turning around, choking slightly as a hand wound around his neck.
Yuri growled and forgot of the vampires in front of him as he ran towards the vampire that now had Naruto.
The man pulled Naruto to his chest, turning him to face the group as they came forward.
"Why would a vampire hang out with a vampire slayer?" The man whispered into the blonde's ear and Naruto frowned.
"That slayer happens to be my friend," Naruto said, struggling slightly in the man's grip, "and he's not half bad."
The vampire growled and Naruto made a small cry as his neck was jerked sideways, revealing his neck for the man to see.
"You are not a vampire to think this man is anything but a murderer to us," he said.
Naruto sighed.
"You're wrong," he said softly.
"Then you will die with him," the man said, and Naruto gasped as the man bit into his neck.
Yuri ran faster as he saw Naruto start to struggle, but the man just jerked him upward at each attempt, biting deeper and dispelling the blonde's blood, receiving a cry in turn.
"Naruto fight back!" Yuri yelled.
"B-But I—" Naruto started, but he was interrupted by another yell from Yuri.
"Fight back, damn it!"
Naruto bit his lip and then threw his hands to his sides, two long daggers slipping from his sleeves. Then in one swift move, he crossed his arms, stabbing through himself and the vampire behind him. The both of them cried out, and the man broke his grip on Naruto's neck.
Naruto removed the daggers and dropped them to the ground, before jumping at the vampire that had attacked him, sinking his teeth into his neck.
The man's eyes were wide with horror, but could do nothing as his crimson essence was drunk away.
Naruto pulled away with a gasp after a few minutes and fell to his knees, panting harshly. The man fell and he caught him, laying him on the ground gently, moving his fingers over the man's eyes to close his eyelids that were still open from shock.
"I'm sorry," he said softly, "I know I cannot be forgiven."
Naruto bent his head and prayed that the man's soul went to a happy place and then stood up to his feet, moving his hand in the sign of a cross over his chest before putting his hand to his lips and raising it to the sky.
"Time to go!" Yuri yelled suddenly, and Naruto's eyes widened in shock.
"But I have not yet finished," the blonde said, "I must say a prayer. I have committed a great sin."
Yuri growled and grabbed the blonde pulling him away from the dead man, while Naruto protested, wanting to go back, even with the stampede of vampires behind them.
Naruto pouted when he, Yuri, and the Konoha five reached a river.
"I cannot cross," Naruto said, "You'll have to go without me."
"Hell if we are!" Yuri said.
"There are rules that every vampire clan member must follow and I have already committed one," Naruto said, frowning, "I have killed a member of my own clan and I will not be subject to commit another crime against my people."
"Hell if you won't!" Yuri yelled.
Yuri stepped in front of Naruto and then moved his hand in a cross over the boy's body.
"You are now permitted to cross this river," he said.
Naruto looked incredulously at him.
"I cannot just cross because you say so!" he said.
"Hell if you can't!" Yuri said, grabbing the blonde and jumping into the middle of the rover so they could cross.
Naruto struggled.
"I can't get wet!" he screeched, "I'm committing a sin!"
The Konoha five followed and they all crossed the river without confusion.
Yuri put Naruto down on the other side and the blonde instantly fell to his knees, whispered incoherent words that no one could understand.
"Please forgive me," he finally said, bowing his head so that it touched his knees, "I have sinned, but it was Yuri's fault, May he be punished accordingly."
Yuri glared, his cheeks puffing out and then jerked the blonde to his feet.
"I don't know why you do that," he said, "Nothing's going to happen for breaking a few vampire rules."
Naruto frowned.
"Not now," he said, "but in the afterlife, when there is no eternity left, I will be punished."
Yuri sighed.
"Can we just go home?" he asked.
"Speaking of home…" Sasuke said, crossing his arms as he looked at Naruto.
Naruto looked at the group and then bit his lips nervously. He wasn't going to like this, was he?
Well that's it. Hope you liked it and wonder what's going to happen next to the group. I'll write more as soon as I can. I already started on the second chapter. Well...See ya.
