Author's Note: This is my very first Naruto fan fiction so any feedback would be greatly appreciated! I'm up to date on all the Naruto episodes so far that have aired in Japan so I should have most of my facts straight. I don't think it'll matter much since this is an AU, but if I make any glaring mistakes, please tell me. I know the title isn't very good so any other ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Disclaimer: Since I hate typing this over and over, it will stand for the whole story, I DO NOT OWN NARUTO!
Chapter 1
Naruto wiped the excess blood off his chin and licked it off his hand. He smiled at the girl lying in the alley.
"Don't worry, you'll wake up soon."
Unlike most of his more violent counterparts, Naruto refused to kill. It meant he had to feed on more than one person each night, which meant a lot more work, but it also meant no casualties. That was what mattered to him.
The blonde haired boy who appeared to be about sixteen leapt lightly onto the rooftops of the Hidden Leaf Village. Many vampires would have thought it suicide to take up residence in a village full of hunters, but Naruto had a very special reason for staying. She was worth the risk.
He smiled as her face came into his mind. Midnight blue hair and lavender eyes that held such innocence. She was everything he could ever want. Her kindness was unmatched by any other he had ever come across. She was beautiful and perfect. The only problem… She was the heir of the village's most prominent vampire hunting clan, the Hyuuga's. Naruto's mind wandered back to their first meeting…
Naruto was resting up in the branches of a tree, enjoying the glow of the full moon, when he heard footsteps from below. Glancing down, he spotted a young girl making her way to the waterfall only about a hundred feet in front of him. She pulled off her large baggy jacket revealing a very shapely figure underneath. Naruto leaned closer, trying to get a better look when, unfortunately, the branch he was sitting on decided he had become too heavy.The young girl gasped and whirled around, scanning the forest with lavender eyes. She didn't have to look far since Naruto was stupidly sitting on the ground with the branch pinned under him staring at her.
"Uh… hi." he said awkwardly.
"W-who are y-you?" she stuttered.
"I'm Naruto. Sorry if I disturbed you. I'll leave now." he turned away.
"W-w-wait!" she shouted. She had noticed something about him in that last sentence… fangs.
Naruto stopped and turned to face her again, "Look, I didn't mean to interrupt, I was just sitting in the tree watching the moon so if it's okay with you…"
"Y-you're a v-vampire aren't y-you?" she asked hesitantly.
Naruto looked up into her eyes and for the first time noticed how beautiful she was, even though she looked scared out of her mind. He nodded slowly.
She backed away and began to rifle through her pack. She pulled out a gleaming silver stake and took up a fighting stance. Her stance was off and her breathing was irregular so it was obvious she had never faced a real vampire before.
"Whoa, whoa!" Naruto yelled, putting up both hands in front of him, "There's no need for that. Look… I haven't hurt anyone and I'm not going to hurt you either."
"Y-you're n-not?" she asked timidly, B-but y-you're a v-vampire!"
"Hey, despite what you've heard, not all vampires kill. Most do, but I don't." he told her. "What's your name?"
She stiffened and then tentatively answered, "H-Hinata… Hinata H-Hyuuga."
"So you're a Hyuuga, huh? Should've guessed with those eyes. Well, I've got to go now. See you around Hinata." he waved and jumped off into the trees.
The next night, Naruto was once again lounging and watching the moon, albeit in a tree with stronger limbs this time. He knew it was probably a bad idea to be in the same spot, considering that Hinata could've told her family where she met him, but he sensed that she wasn't one to judge so quickly.
At the exact same time as the night before, Hinata appeared again. This time she walked slowly, looking around as if searching for something. She was alone. Naruto jumped silently out of the tree and landed about five feet in front of her. He gave her one of his award winning smiles. Even the fangs could not diminish the friendliness in his face. Hinata gulped and gave him a small timid smile in return.
Naruto was currently making his way to the very same waterfall. It had become their secret meeting place. Upon arriving, he saw Hinata sitting at the bank of the small lake, watching the waterfall. He smirked and snuck up behind her, placing his hands over her eyes.
"Guess who." he said.
Hinata giggled, "Naruto!" She turned around and smiled at him.
They had been meeting almost every night for three months now. Hinata's stuttering had gone away completely in that short amount of time and she knew it was because of her feelings for Naruto. If her family ever found out… well, she didn't even want to think about what would happen.
"Right!" Naruto smiled back and pulled her into a hug.
Hinata closed her eyes and snuggled up against Naruto's chest. She had never been so happy before. She looked up at Naruto and felt her heart beat louder as he came in for a kiss. Their lips met and it was like a symphony going off in Hinata's mind. She wanted this moment to last forever.
Unfortunately, Hinata's worst fear was about to be confirmed. Her cousin Neji had noticed the heiress's strange change in personality the last few months. He had decided to find out where she was going every night and followed her. Now he squeezed a branch, white knuckled as he watched Hinata lock lips with their clans most dreaded enemy. 'Hiashi isn't going to like this,' he thought.
