Hola~! Here's the 3rd chapter, since I'm almost done with the next one! As always, I hope that you enjoy it!
KNOWN
"You really don't have to do this, Sasuke-sama." Naruto whispered to the driver, looking out the window to see familiar houses passing by as they neared his own home.
"Hush, I'm the one who has to care for you since I found you. I don't want you to get in any trouble at school since you're a freshmen in highschool." Sasuke looked at him from the side of his eyes, smirking at him when he saw the younger boy blush and trying to completely hide his face by looking out the window.
Sasuke had managed to find a shirt that Naruto could wear, since all that was left was his pants and boxers that were removed without harm. His own shirt however, was never going to be the same even with the stitches. "Here!" Naruto sat up in the car, already unbuckling his seat belt.
"When do your classes end?" Naruto turned away from the partially opened door, confusion in his bright blue eyes, "When do your classes end so you can sneak into the next class, Dobe?"
The younger turned and blushed at the nickname, "Lunch is about to start, its for an hour, Sasuke-sama." he whispered.
"Its Sasuke, not Sasuke-sama or Sasuke-san, Naru." Sasuke whispered, his voice low and seemed to flow over Naruto's skin, making him shiver. "Hurry and change, I'll take you to school. You can't miss school today." Nodding, Naruto jumped out of the car, slamming the door shut, and ran to the door of the house. Realizing like an idiot that he left the house key in his room before running out of the house last night. Looking around the small "porch" for the hiding spot for the extra house key, finding the key in the mailbox he opened the door, locked it behind him, and quickly changed.
Dressed in his school uniform, a white button down shirt with a pair of black pants with matching black shoes, Naruto made sure that he had everything in his bag before leaving. 'Thankfully I did my homework or I'd be in trouble!' locking the door behind him again and then made his way to the waiting car in the driveway.
"Got everything?" Sasuke asked as Naruto put on his seat belt.
"Yep!" Naruto sat back, sighing in relief, "I just have to figure out what happened in the morning classes!" he groaned, Sasuke chuckled at him. Pulling out of the driveway, Sasuke headed towards the way Naruto pointed to his school.
Slowly sliding the door open, Naruto poked his head checking if he was in the clear before he stepped into the classroom. "Naruto!" Naruto went ridged at the voice, slowly turning behind him to see one of closest friends to jump him. Landing on his back, his backpack beside him, his friend on top of him. "Where have you been-" the dark brown eyes grew big and his nose twitched. Which always made Naruto want to laugh, his friend did remind him of a dog sometimes. "What's that smell?" he muttered to himself, flashing his strangely sharper than normal teeth. "Naruto," his voice suddenly became dark and sounded more animal than human, "did you take a shower?"
Naruto stared, still beneath him, his voice was calm even though his eyes seemed to have a living flame behind them. "What?"
"Did. You. Shower?" Kiba said slowly, moving away from him and covered his nose. Having the look of disgust clear on his face.
"...yes I did shower. I showered before I left Sas-" Naruto stopped himself before he said too much, "Yes I showered, you mutt!"
"Well, you smell!" his voice was muffled since he was still covering his nose and glaring at Naruto, trying to figure out what the smell was.
"Shut up! I don't smell!" Naruto pushed Kiba off of him and got up, grabbing his backpack and walking over to his desk in the back of the room. Slamming his bag on his desk before sitting down, it was then that he noticed that the class was watching the two like normal. He sighed heavily.
"Come on," Kiba grabbed Naruto by his arm and dragged him out of the room and down the hallway that was filled with students from different classes and grades. "We need to see the others. Now." Kiba led the way to where the rest of his friends would hang out before and after school and during lunch. In an empty classroom on the other side of the school. Banging the door open, Kiba stood in the middle of the room, Naruto pulled up behind him. "He smells!"
Naruto's eye twitched, "I don't smell, you mutt!" Naruto yanked his arm out of Kiba's grasp.
Kiba turned to him, "Yes you do! You smell like a vamp-"
"Kiba!" Hinata stood up from behind Neji, who was glaring at Kiba. "Hush!" Kiba looked at her, about to say something when Hinata spoke up, "He cannot know!" she hissed.
"Know what?" Naruto gained their attention, along with Sai, Shikamaru, and Lee. He looked around the room, noticing the tension.
Sigh "Chill out, Hina." Shikamaru sat down on the floor, closing his eyes, "He's going to find out sooner or later, and the fact that that scent is fresh means that he might have already figured it out." When he stopped talking, everyone leaned in, wondering if he was going to say anything more to help out the situation. They were answered by a snore that made Kiba relax and walk over to him, take off his jacket and throw it on his sleeping boyfriend.
"So much for his help," Neji muttered; he walked up towards Naruto, who was still watching Kiba, his heart aching at the sight of someone that was in love. "Naruto," Neji gained his attention, ignoring the loneliness that was in his now dark blue eyes, "were you with someone before coming to school?"
Naruto looked away, a blush creeping up on his face. "I...I met him last night..." the room became still as Naruto gave a short version of what happened, not mentioning what happened before he met Sasuke. "I stayed at his house, since it was late at night and I didn't want to stay at home because she was there." Naruto breathed, "We slept in and just got up like two hours ago...he took me home and brought me to school. He hasn't done anything to me. If he did, I wouldn't be here..." Naruto whispered.
"And who is he?" Neji crossed his arms, Naruto looked away as if he did something wrong. Hinata looked at him in worry; Sai sat up catching every word that Naruto was saying, along with him Lee and Kiba; Shikamaru even opened an eye when Neji asked him the question.
"..." Naruto mumbled.
Everyone held their breath, Hinata looked at Neji with disbelief in her big purple eyes. "What?" whispered Neji.
"...Sasuke Uchiha..." Naruto hid his face with his bangs, his face had suddenly become hot as his hands became sweaty.
"That explains it..." Everyone turned to look at Kiba who was leaning on the wall space next to Shikamaru. His eyes were closed, his nose twitched before he opened his eyes to glare at Naruto. A glare he's never seen directed towards him. "I smell him on you, not only that but I also smell your blood." Shikamaru opened both his eyes in shock, looking at Kiba then to Naruto, his eyes looking for any signs of a bite mark that was visible to them. Since, if a human or Vampire or Wolf was bitten, it meant that they were marked, and only Vampires and Wolves could see it. The bite was meant to tell others that that person was taken or meant that they were under that person's protection. "Its not fresh, but I can smell it. Your blood is starting to change due to the bite he gave you."
Naruto took a step back, shock on his face as he looked Kiba in the eyes; "What? What are you talking about?" He took another step back when Kiba started to walk to him. Pulling down his shirt collar to expose a red mark that was very sensitive to the touch.
"You see this?" Naruto angled his head, barely seeing the red area, "That, right there," Kiba brushed his finger over the bite making Naruto hiss, "is called a bite mark that only Vampires can make. If it was a wolf, your entire shoulder would have been shredded and be throbbing for a few days." Kiba whispered, moving aside so the others could see. Neji and Hinata looked at one another, silently talking to one another. "Your blood was taken by a Vampire, by a Pure Vampire, Naruto; this looks like it was done while you were with Sasuke Uchiha." Kiba released the collar before looking Naruto in the eye.
"...That's not funny, Kiba. Vampires are not real! If Vampires exist, then there would be Wolves, and Unicorns, and Leprechauns, and Goblins, and Harry Potter would be real!" Naruto started to raise his voice, "They don't exist! That's why people write and film things that are not real! Baka!"
"They do exist, stupid! If they don't exist, then why am I here?!" Kiba growled, "How do I exist if I'm not real?!" Kiba clenched his hands into fists by his side.
"Calm down," Shikamaru came up behind Kiba, his arms going around Kiba's waist. Naruto flinched at the sight, his heart gave a small painful squeeze. "Naruto," Shikamaru looked up to Naruto, slightly flinching at the longing in his blue eyes, "Kiba is telling the truth," his voice was gentle, even though he was holding back a Kiba who was about to lose control in a matter of seconds. "Just think about it, Naruto, haven't we acted even a little strange since we met?"
"...Vampires don't exist..." Naruto muttered, "Wolves don't exist...They are only fairy tales and myths!" Naruto yelled. Turning around, he ran out of the room. Running back to the classroom, lunch half over, grabbed his things and turned to leave. Passing by the teacher's desk, he remembered that he needed to turn in his homework from the other night. Leaving the work on the desk he left the room, left the school - feeling eyes watching him but too upset at his friends to care to turn around - and went home.
"That was a success, was it not?" Sai "smiled". Lee looked out the window, in the direction of where Naruto headed.
"What had happened to the youth that was bottled up inside of Naruto?" Lee whispered, he turned away to meet Hinata's and Kiba's glaze.
"Naruto-kun needs some space." Hinata whispered, her hands covering her mouth, her eyes looking out the window as if she was searching for Naruto herself.
"Tch. Sasuke sucked it out of him! That's what happened!" Kiba crossed his arms.
"..." Lee looked away, his mind on Naruto, wondering if he was alright.
"It was too soon to tell him about us, Kiba," Shikamaru walked back into the room, having "chasing" after Naruto - really he walked back to the class he was from and asked if he was there then walked back - standing next to Kiba. He looked at Kiba who refused to look him in the eye. "You just told him that the people that he hangs out with are Vampires and that you're a Wolf. You just made everything so troublesome, Kibs."
"You make it sound like it was a bad idea!" Kiba turned towards him, glaring at him. "He needed to know! We're the ones that are suppose to tell him anyway!" Kiba threw his arms in the air.
"True, but remember who we're suppose to protect him from." Shikamaru said, his voice calm despite the fact that his boyfriend was trying not to lose control over his wolf.
"That's right, Kiba," Neji spoke, his eyes never leaving the doors that Naruto ran out of before he turned to the couple. "We're here to protect Naruto from the very people that killed his own parents."
"You mean people like you?" Kiba took a step towards Neji, "Your people that killed Naruto's mother who was a half breed? Is that who you're suppose to protect Naruto from?!" Neji gave him a look that dared him to take another step towards him.
"Don't forget that you're in this situation as well, Kiba." Neji glared, "Your own kind killed Naruto's father as well. If I'm not mistaken, but wasn't his father a half breed as well? Yet he was killed by your pack?" Neji took a step forward, Kiba followed in suit; they kept walking until they were nose to nose.
"If I remember correctly," Shikamaru sighed before looking at the two, boredom in his eyes, "those that killed Naruto's parents were people that either left the pack or clan." Shikamaru looked between the two, ready to pull them apart if they started to fight...again.
"It doesn't matter who killed who," Hinata stepped towards the window, placing a gentle hand on Lee's shoulder to bring him back from his darkening thoughts, "both of our sides are held responsible to what had happened all those years ago." She turned to look at everyone in the room. Her eyes stopping on Sai, who now had his eyes open when he felt gentle eyes fall on him, "Sai, can you please tell Sasuke-sama to look after Naruto since we're stuck in school?"
"What?!" Kiba turned to Hinata, his glare making her jump in fear. "You can't just do that, Hinata!" He stomped towards her, Lee breaking out of his little trance noticed and stepped in front of her.
"She has every right to what she thinks is best, Kiba." Lee looked Kiba in the eyes, his body ready to fight against him if he wished to hurt the Princess. "She is the next in line to take over for the Hyuga Clan, as you are the next to take over for the Inuzuka Pack. She invited you here, you our enemy, to our lands to help protect Naruto and his brother, Kyuubi, from rogues that attacked and killed their parents that had a connection to both of us."
Kiba calmed down a bit, nodding that Lee had pointed out good points and for not starting another war against the each other. "Fine, then Sai goes to Sasuke and has him watch over Naruto. Then what?"
"We wait." Everyone turned to Sai, his eyes just as dark as a moonless night. Everyone nodded; the bell rang that lunch was over, they left the room and headed back to class. Each of them hoping that nothing else was going to happen to Naruto or Kyuubi. Since, after all, they possibly carry the strongest power in the world.
Opening the door and closing it behind him, Naruto leaned against the locked door trying to catch his breath. Once he was in more control, Naruto pushed away from the door and headed toward his bed, and fell on it face first and stayed like that for what seemed like a few minutes but for an hour or so. He just stared at the picture of his family; him as a smiling two year old in front of Kyuubi who looked like he didn't want to be there, his parents side by side behind them. It was the only picture they had with the whole family together.
"They're not real...I know that they're not..." Naruto mumbled into the blanket. Hie eyes stinging when he thought about the stories that his parents, mainly his dad, would tell him when they would come back home late. His dad would tell him about the Wolves that he met at work, telling him stories about when they fought, when he saw them shift, when he spared with them, everything. His mother telling him about the Vampires that she's met in her life, how they lived and blended into the human society.
When he was young he and his brother would wait up late into the night for their mom and dad to come home with cuts and bruises but smiles when they saw their kids waiting up for them. When his mom died, Naruto was scared that Vampires were going to get him and then when his dad died he was scared that the Wolves were going to get him as well. Kyuubi snapped first and started to yell at Naruto that they didn't exist;" there was no such thing as Vampires and Wolves!"
Ring Ring
Naruto looked up to see his phone going off. Twisting on the bed and got off, Naruto walked over to the phone, smiling when it was his brother calling. "Naruto?" a tired hoarse voice whispered that was followed by a cough.
"Nii-san!" Naruto breathed, "Hi, Nii-san! How are you? When are you coming home?" Naruto sat on the bed, the smile getting bigger when he heard his brother laugh.
"I'm getting on the plane home in an hour, I should be home by tonight. And I'm doing fine, Naru-chan," Kyuubi teased, "Are you ok? I got a call from Hinata..."
The smile fell from Naruto's lips, "Yeah, I'm fine...we just got into a fight that's all..." Naruto looked away as if his brother was in front of him.
"You got into a fight with Hinata? Really? Or was it with Kiba...again...?" his brother teased.
"...Kiba..." Naruto sighed.
"Ahh, that makes much more sense...well when I get home there's something that I want to talk to you about ok? Its important that listen to what I'm saying, Naruto." his voice became serious, which caught Naruto's attention immediately.
"Ok, Nii-san," Naruto nodded.
"Good, now my ride is here, I'll see you at home ok? Bye, Naru." Naruto smiled and whispered bye before they hung up. Sighing, Naruto looked around the trashy room, he could only imagine what the rest of the house looked like. Glad that his brother would be coming home later in the evening, giving him time to clean up. Hopping off the bed, Naruto changed his clothes for something comfortable to wear while he cleaned the house. Barely noting that his brother's girlfriend wasn't here...'again'...
A couple of hours later, the kitchen clean of dishes and trash, they living room clean of dirty clothes, and the dinning room clean of food that was left over. Naruto put in the last load of dirty clothes to get washed, wiping away the sweat with the back of his hand. Putting the basket back in the bathroom, Naruto went to his room and laid down on the bed, resting his achy body on the bed that wasn't as soft as the bed he was on last night. His eyes growing heavy, he looked to see that he had a couple of hours before Kyuubi came home from his trip. Naruto turned to his side and closed his eyes, 'Just a few minutes...I'll have to make dinner when Kyu...comes...home...' Naruto thought as he drifted to sleep.
Dream - Naruto
Naruto was walking with his mom to his left, his brother and dad to his right. Then suddenly his mom started to become transparent. Naruto saw his mother start to blend into the scenery around him. He turned to the other two next to him, but he had no voice. He tried to get his dad's attention, but he too was starting to become transparent. It was just him and his older brother. He watched his elder brother as he started to get a little ahead of him, watching as he grew taller and age, he realized that time was passing. By the time that Naruto was his right height, Naruto noticed that Kyuubi was farther now from him; too far from him, he started to run after him, calling out his name, wave his hands around but nothing caught Kyuubi's attention. The next thing Naruto knows, he's alone and everywhere he looks for his brother he's met with water. He calls out Kyuubi's name, now having a voice, but was answered with the ocean screaming a war cry at the sand as they crashed that filled the air.
Naruto woke when he felt a hand on his face, wiping away something from his eyes. "Naru?" Red eyes with matching red hair greeted him as he slowly started to wake up. "Are you ok? Did you have a nightmare?"
"Kind of..." Naruto looked at his brother, his hand, shakily, reached up to touch the wiry hair that fell around his elder brother's head. "What time is it?"
"Its three in the morning..." Kyuubi smiled, showing off his white teeth when Naruto's eyes popped wide open.
"What?! When did you get back?" Naruto sat up, looking for his clock to see that it was three a.m.
"Around ten...you were knocked out when I got here, you looked really tired. I let you sleep in but then you started screaming out my name...what happened?" Kyuubi pulled Naruto to his chest, his cold hand running through Naruto's blond locks. Red eyes became worried for the blue eyed boy; his red hair became a shield around them, momentarily taking them away from the world.
"You were leaving me...alone...I didn't like it and I kept trying to call you but you never turned around!" Naruto breathed into Kyuubi's strangely cold chest; Naruto chose to ignore it, needing his big brother.
"I'm here now, I'm not leaving you, Naru." He whispered and kissed Naruto's forehead; rocking them slowly back and forth until Naruto calmed down. "Well, talking about leaving..." Kyuubi moved to where he could look at Naruto, trying to ignore the tears the stained the blue eyes that he loved so much. "I was wondering if you wanted to move..." Naruto's eyes widened again, "I've been wanting to tell you that if we moved, I could spend more time with you, I wouldn't have to leave every month. Since where we could move to is the place that I have to go to every month. Would you like that?"
