Fic Title Meme asks (that keep turning into mini fics so they're on here now too)
When Shisui wakes up next, there's another person leaning over him, although this person is not the two Shisui saw the first time. This person is much younger, about his age. There are bags under his eyes, bruises on all over him, painful rainbows on his skin. His long brown hair is dirty and mattered. Shisui has never seen someone who looks so tired.
(Or: that Vampire!Shisui thing that like... one person asked for lmao)
Shisui wakes up in a lab, restrained with two men, who Shisui will later learn go by Danzou and Orochimaru, leaning over him talking about things he can't understand and injecting things into him that make him feel like he's burning from the inside out.

But, all Shisui knows is that he's hungry. Starving in a way he's never been before and before he realises what he's doing his teeth are in the person's neck and he's drinking and drinking and he can't stop.
The person pulls him away gently, so, so gently and Shisui chokes on his next breath of air because he's not right. Something is very wrong.
Blearily, Shisui notices the person's blood tastes earthy, dirty, like a forest and he stares at Shisui with big dark eyes and tells him it's alright.
After what could be days, weeks months, Shisui doesn't know. he learns that it's not okay. Not anywhere near okay. Shisui is a vampire and the nameless person in his cell can control plants.
Shisui and the nameless person are those men's experiments.
Shisui has never been good at rolling over and taking the hits that life has to offer so, with the help of the person he's with - who he calls Tenzou - they begin to plan. Shisui's life has never been easy, and there's not that many people that would actually give a shit that Shisui's missing and Tenzou's never had anyone to begin with.
They're not getting saved, so they save themselves.
They're running through the city with no destination in mind when Shisui literally collides with someone's chest. There's a moment of struggling before Tenzou's pulled vines from the ground and they're wrapping around the person and squeezing.
It takes Shisui's exhausted and terrified mind far too long to realise the person Tenzou is strangling is Kakashi and another moment of frantic yelling to get Tenzou to release him.
Kakashi takes one look at them both - too skinny and Tenzou's hands are shaking and Shisui's been missing for months, Kakashi had thought he was dead - and knows it's bad.
Kakashi's decision making has never been very reliable and Rin is going to murder him when he gets back, but Kakashi's always liked Shisui more than he should.
The look Shisui's giving him, terrified, panicking and his face is a greying like he's going to pass out, is enough to convince Kakashi that whatever the fallout of this is going to be is worth it. Not to mention the smaller one has taken to hiding behind Shisui, his whole body shaking like a leaf in the breeze. and he grew plants out of the ground.
Kakashi rubs his neck where the vines were, hugs Shisui harder than he has ever has, and drags the both of them back to his shitty apartment.
(or, Kakashi doesn't really know what he's got himself into, but he loves these two idiots and he lost his last lover, Obito, in a kidnapping case, only for his mutilated body to turn up three years later with the evidence of years of injury and abuse and covered in bite marks and he's not letting that happen again. This time, he'll protect them.)
