We sat in silence for what felt like an eternity. The words were swimming around in my now fussy head. I looked him over for any injuries that I could see, there were none. Naruto was sitting patiently for me to come back to reality, which was unusual because he would normally be shouting at me.

"What did he do to you?" I asked slowly, trying to stop my voice from shaking.

Naruto's eyes twinkled with sadness and for once I felt huge pity for him. It was only then that I noticed he was shaking. From what I don't know, fear maybe? Or even shock? I remember how I was after Itachi had gotten to me and my parents, Naruto's probably feeling the same things.

"Last night, when I was sleeping, someone knocked on my door and I thought it was maybe you or Kakashi so I opened it. He just barged in and pinned me to the wall by my neck. He wanted to know about you. He said he already knew about Sakura-Chan and he wanted to know stuff like, where you live and what your weaknesses are and stuff. I was so confused. I told him to piss off."

He stopped and looked away from me. I was still confused that my homicidal brother was simply gathering innocent information about me, or so that's what it seemed anyway.

"He said that if I didn't tell him then he would find you anyway and he'd get Sakura-Chan. I didn't believe him so I tried to get away from him…"

He paused again but this time he looked at me with the pity I had for him earlier. I urged him to carry on and patted his shoulder. "It's okay dobe, tell me what happened."

"I'm so sorry Sasuke; I wish you didn't have to find out like this. Not through me anyway. But granny Tsunade said I needed to tell you. Please don't hate me…"

He was shaking even more now and was almost in tears. I took his hand (not in a gay way) and gave it a light squeeze of comfort.

"Naruto come on… I hate you anyway." I said jokingly to lighten the mood, and I think it worked because he squeezed my hand back and laughed a little.

"You okay? You going to tell me now or you going to cry a bit more?"

"I am not crying!"

We both laughed a little and I smiled at him to carry on telling me what happened. He smiled at me a little and took both my hands in his. (In a brotherly way!)

"It's your brother… He's a vampire."

I was in total shock. Itachi a vampire? Oh god. That must mean that he's joined with Orochimaru! If they're going to attack the village, and they have him on their side, they we're screwed!

"W-what did he do?" I asked again, this time not being able to hide the shakiness in my voice. Naruto took a breath and sighed. He then let go of my hands and unzipped his jacket. He had two puncture marks on his neck. I felt like crying. And I haven't cried since the massacre.

"Naruto…."

"It's okay. It didn't hurt too much." He said, zipping back up his jacket.

"So do you think he might be working with the snake bastard?" he asked getting back to himself.

"I don't know, I sure hope not. What did Tsunade say?"

"She just write-"

"Wrote."

"Yeah whatever, she wrote down everything I told her and said that I should tell you. She said she'll tell Jiraiya and that you should lay low for a while. You know, like not going out so much and she said that you shouldn't see Sakura-Chan as much too."

At this I scowled. Not see Sakura just because my brother might want to kill me? I've got so many people after me so why should one more matter?

"I suppose I could lay low…"

Naruto laughed,

"Yeah well you're gonna have to, cause Tsuade's assigned Kakashi to babysit you!"

He burst out laughing and my face literally dropped.

"WHAT?"

Naruto didn't stop laughing for a good hour at least and then we decided to go back with the others. When outside we noticed that the sky looked dark like it was going to rain. We got about halfway down the road when my cell phone started ringing.

"Hello?"

"Hello Sasuke-Kun? Where are you?" Sakura's voice filled my ear and where she was so loud it almost deafened me.

"Me and Naruto were on our way back, why?"

"Kakashi's here, he wants to talk to you right now. Here I'll pass you over."

"Sakura wait!-"

"Sasuke? Has Naruto talked to you yet?" Came Kakashi's normal boring voice. You'd think he'd be a little concerned for me.

"Well you need to go home and wait for me there. It's almost dark. Tell Naruto to go home too."

"Okay. What about Sakura?"

"She'll also go home once I give her her phone back."

"She's staying over at mine tonight. It'll be safer."

I heard Kakashi sigh.

"She'll need her things and that'll take time so no, it would actually be dangerous because she would have to walk at night alone with vampires around."

"I can go with her so she'll be okay. And you know that my training's been affective, I can handle it."

"What if your brother turns up again? Could you handle him?"

It was my turn to sigh.

"Then you can come with us, but you'll need to stay outside while she packs her things. It shouldn't take too long as she has most of her stuff at mine already."

"That's fine. We'll meet you there then. Tell me where you are in case you don't show up."

So I told him where we were while Naruto was trying to get me to tell him what was going on. When I hung up I told him what was going on and he was pissed that he had to go home without getting some ramen.

I only had to walk a short while to get to Sakura's house but they still beat me there. When I got there Sakura ran up and hugged me.

"What's Kakashi-Sensei doing with us?" she whispered in my ear as she hugged me.

"I'll tell you inside."

As we said, Kakashi waited outside while we went in and packed Sakura some clothes. I told her everything while I was throwing some clothes at her, including Naruto's event.

"Great, so He's going to be there all night? We're not going to have anytime to ourselves?" She started sulking.

"Sakura, I don't like it either. But if it's what Tsunade ordered then it has to happen. Besides we still get to see each other, we just can't have sex, obviously."

I came up behind her and pulled her into a hug.

"Hmm I know. I'm so worried about you though. Orochimaru's as strong as it is and now he's got your brother… what's going to happen Sasuke-kun? I'm so scared."

"I don't know Sakura, I really wish I knew…"

She turned round and kissed me. I was going to kiss her back but Kakashi burst through the bedroom door, making us jump.

"Get out, NOW!"

Before anything else could happen, a tall dark figure appeared in front of us and threw Kakashi across the room, knocking him unconscious. I moved Sakura behind me and stood protectively in front of her with a Kunai in my hand.

He turned round to face us. Even though I knew he was a vampire, I was still shocked to see that he looked the same. His hair was a little longer but still tied up in a pony-tail, his skin was a still a little tanned then mine, even being a vamp. And his eyes, oh god I hate his eyes. Gleaming red with the sharingan still activated, just like they were on that night.

"It's been too long little brother."
