Prologue
He could remember nothing before that night. Not his parents…not even his name. He couldn't even remember why he was out in the snow. A hopeless child standing in the midst of a snowstorm, confused. Yet, the thought of fear did not cross his mind, had he forgotten that feeling too?
Footsteps approaching…the sound of footsteps were so faint due to the wind howling; still the boy could hear them. He turned. There it was – the creature that was approaching the boy. The creature bared its fangs as it leaped up into the air, ready for an attack. The boy's eyes widened for a second and before he could comprehend what was happening, he felt his face splashed with blood. The blood was not his, as far as he knew. It belonged to his attacker.
The boy's eyes grew wide as his attacker that was lying on the ground moments ago turned into dust and was carried away by the wind. The boy was saved.
"Are you hurt?" A voice spoke. The boy looked up and was met with red orbs. It was his rescuer. A hand reached out and wiped the boy's blood-stained face. "It's alright now." How kind. Those words were. The boy wanted to say something but no words came out. His dark brown eyes locked on red ones, entranced. "You are safe now."
Then, the boy felt himself lifted off the ground as he was pulled into an embrace. He felt his eyelids grew heavy and the last words he heard before falling asleep was, "Now, rest."
Ten long years had passed since that night. The boy, now sixteen was staring out of his classroom window, recalling the incident ten years ago. What had actually happened? Why can't he remember a thing before that incident? And moreover, why was he there? His rescuer. The pureblood vampire – Uchiha Itachi.
"Hatake Sasuke!"
"Hm?" The boy turned as his name was called. Before he could respond, a duster hit him right in his face.
He could hear laughter from some of his classmates, mainly the boys. The girls on the other hand were glaring at the laughing boys and muttering something like, "It's not funny." Some of them even yelled at the teacher for being mean.
"Please pay attention to class, Hatake-san." The teacher said, as Sasuke wiped off the dust on his face, "That was the fifth time already." Continued the teacher, "I would have to kick you out off class if this continues, don't think I wouldn't dare because you are the Chairman Hatake's adopted son."
Sasuke merely 'hmph-ed' in response. His best friend – a certain blond by the name of Uzumaki Naruto elbowed him. "Pssh, I think you should apologize, Sasuke-teme."
Sasuke merely glared at the blond. Oh no, the teacher could never ever make him swallow his pride and apologize. He seemed to have this very high self-esteem which he did not know why. Maybe he had inherited it from his biological parents whom he did not know who they were.
The teacher was fuming at the boy's arrogance and for that, the whole class was punished with tons of homework to complete by tomorrow. The whole class groaned as they grudgingly write down their list of homework.
"Look what you've done, Sasuke-teme!" Naruto said with a glare meant for the raven. "Ahh! We still have night shifts! We won't be able to complete our homework in time!"
"You don't have to complete them, dobe. It's Saturday tommorow." Sasuke merely said as he stood up just in time for the bell to ring.
"Oh, right..." Naruto realized suddenly.
With his bag hung sideways, Sasuke then walked down the aisle and exited the classroom. He could hear Naruto yelling at him to wait up but being the prick he was, Sasuke ignored his friend and kept walking.
The sun was almost setting. It was time for the night class students to come out. Sasuke looked out of the window to see the girls already gathering outside the gates of the Moon dorm – the dorm where the Night class students stay.
The night class students were something different from the day class students. They were the creatures known as vampires. For years, this academy had been keeping this secret from the day class students. Sasuke's job was to prevent the day class students from knowing the secret and also to protect the day class students from danger.
He rolled his eyes. 'Stupid fangirls…'
"Argh! Sasuke-teme! I told you to wait for me!" Finally catching up, Uzumaki Naruto grabbed the raven by his shoulder as he panted heavily due to the fact that he had been running a while ago.
"Tch." Sasuke narrowed his eyes. "You are late, dobe." Before the blond could reply, Sasuke cut in, "Whatever, let's go, dobe. We'd better be there before the night class students come out."
"Uh…" Naruto merely nodded as both of them exited the building.
...I'll also show you a sweet dream
