Chapter 2: I desire the sun
A crazy thing happened to me the other day, my grandmother found my yaoi stash in my closet and nearly died of shock. I don't even know why she was in there but she opened one of my Junjou Romantica books and nearly had a heart attack. Still though I won't throw them away, I love my yaoi.
The rain and winds had long died down and now a beautiful morning dew covered every outdoor surface. Inside the Uchiha household, Sasuke woke up to find Itachi gone but his spot was still warm.
"Nn…Aniki?" the younger Uchiha called searching around the room. Itachi had risen from the bed around 1 am and settled himself in his otouto's window seat.
"Good morning Otouto…"the vampiregreeted abit tired. The red dawn lights seemed to cast Itachi and the room in a ethreal glow.
"Why are you still up Aniki, it's almost day break?" Sasuke asked inquistively.
"I couldn't sleep…I've been thinking"was the older's reply. Sasuke clambered out from between the sheets and moved to stand next to the window seat. He staggered a bit from the blood lose but didn't loose his step "What about?"
"About the tasty morsal you'll be bringing to dinner" Itachi smirked knowing it would set Sasuke off.
"You know Itachi you may be technically my master, but I refuse to do this much longer" Sasuke glared.
"Oh but you will foolish little brother" Sasuke gasped in shock. When did he get behind him? "You'll do anything at all because you love me" Itachi whispered huskily.
Sasuke bit his lip "Please don't tease me Aniki" the younger whined pulling Itachi's arms off of him "I care for your happiness Itachi, but I know you desire something more than all these tch 'bed warmers,'what is it you Aniki?"These words seemed to give the vampire pause, what he desired couldn't be put into simple words. How could he answer his little brother?
"The sun" Itachi exclaimed finally.
"What?" Sasuke blinked.
"I desire the sun…bring me a midnight sun Sasuke" and with that, Itachi patted his otouto's head and left for the comforting darkness of his coffin.
Timeskip
Unlike vampires, ghouls have the ability to walk in the sunlight uninhibited by the rays, it was a trait Sasuke greatly apprieated.
The young raven sighed as he made his daily walk to Konoha high. It seemed to start out simple enough, Sasuke arrived fifteen minutes early before the bell so he could stand and chat with Suigetsu and Kiba. Sasuke wasn't really listening to the conversation until Kiba said "I heard we're getting a new student today in homeroom" this new info caused the ghoul to perk up.
"A new student, do you know who they are?" he asked trying to keep his tone uninterested.
"No" Suigetsu grinned "but let's go find out" his teeth were abnormally sharp looking.
Timeskip Again!
Kakashi Sensei stoode in front of his History class dressed in brown dockers and a pale blue collared shirt, his naturally silver hair was gravity defying as usual "Class, I don't know if you've heard but you'll be receiving a new classmate today" a flare of chatter rumbled from the class, a new student in the middle of the year was not an every day occurance; Sasuke who sat in the far corner raised a delicately arched eyebrow at the news.
"You can come in kiddo" a tan boy with choppy blonde hair and ocean blue eyes stepped across the threshold and stood before all.
"Hello I am Naruto Uzumaki, and I like ramen in a cup, but I also like Ichiraku ramen too, and I like playing violent games like Dead Space." The laughed at that last part.
"Er right then, you can take your seat in front of Sasuke" Kakashi smirked.
Sasuke raised his arm to show where he was supposed to sit, the outspoken blonde stepped jauntily over and sat right down next to a quiet boy named Menma, "Hey there" he said turning around and offering a handshake.
"Yo" Sasuke replied, this guy certainly was refreshing. He wasn't bad looking either. Class time was spent taking notes and Sasuke used the time to study Naruto more closely; there was something strangely captivating about him. He was feminine yet masculine, his cheeks had odd little birthmarks that looked like whiskers, and his eyes were deep and blue as the sea.
"Not bad at all" at last the bell rung signaling free period "Hey Naruto do you want me to show you around?" the raven asked politely.
"Sure thanks" Naruto smiled picking up his orange backpack, of which he noticed was a bit worn and faded. The pair exited the classroom and entered the busy halls of Konoha High School.
"So tell me Naruto what brought you to our town?"
"Oh um…family situation changed" for a minute Sasuke noticed that friendly smile looked strained.
"Ah…sorry" he apologized awkwardly.
"Nah its okay" Naruto said patting his shoulder "you didn't know" it was then that the raven felt warm, like all was right in the world for a change.
"Is this what Itachi was talking about? It's nice" The two were becoming fast friends.
Sasuke showed Naruto all around the school and introduced him to Kiba and Suigetsu; Sasuke laughed at Naruto's surprised face whe he noticed how pointy Suigetsu's teeth were "Dude you must be half shark or something!" Sasuke had to sweat drop a bit, so the blonde was a bit of a idiot. The final bell rung and the school day the ndrew to a close, Naruto paused at the main gate and handed him a slip of paper.
"This is all my contact info, feel free to call anytime" the blonde ball of sunshine said turning to start his journy home. Pausing he turned back around to Sasuke "thanks for showing me around today Sasuke-kun, it was nice".
Sasuke nodded and waved goodbye before starting his own trek home. For some strange reason the sky looked bluer, the bird songs sweeter, and the air fresher. The young ghoul couldn't seem to keep a smile off his face.
"What a fascinating human this Naruto Uzumaki" he began to think "he may be innocent, but he is not naïve." Innocent.
A simple word yet filled with so many meanings. Naruto was innocent where he was not, Naruto was human where he was not, Naruto would grow old and live a happy life with a woman, where he would always be stuck under his brothers thumb-doing his bidding.
Sasuke had made a decision, he could not tell Itachi. He 'would' not tell Itachi. These were his final thoughts as Sasuke came to stand in front of the dark vine covered house of Uchiha.
