Disclaimer- I do not own Naruto, Vampire Knights, or any other manga or anime themes from other vampire manga and anime.

Authornote-Yo! I haven't updated this fic in a while. I have been having a bit of a overall writer's block with the latest episodes of Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica out and other things going on in my life… That and I have to wait till after my friend to get ungrounded to get the latest chapter of Paranormal I had sent to him to proofread back. However, oddly enough, my muse for vampires have come back and I fixed up this chapter as I decided to change the plot a little bit from what this story was originally going to be last chapter and had to fix this chapter up. However, I will say there is two other vampire manga and anime in which themes come from. However, instead of flat out putting them in the disclaimer, I will let you, the readers, figure it out on your own. If anyone can guess what manga I put a character from-and others will come from this manga as well as I like it-into my story, I will recognize you next chapter. Now, let's begin this chapter!


Ch.4 "Night Children"

"... All these years and one of the original vampires are still alive..." In a dark room lit by candle light, a group of cloaked figures held a meeting.

"And a powerful one, too. The Uzumaki coven was one of the most powerful there was back in the time of our ancestors."

"This, no... Lord Uzumaki must be retrieved since his blood is too high in value to lose." Another figure spoke.

"You must not do that..." An older figure sighed. "If this noble chooses to live in the middle of human society, let him. He is a vampire of completely pure blood, with no corruption at all within it. He can easily kill all of us if he sees fit."

"That is correct..." A woman figure added. "The true vampires were of noble beasts, civilized, yet deadly. I offer we send him some of those pills our younger generation has developed to prevent him from feeding off humans as he said he already turned a human into vampire as well as send some of the younger generation to talk with him. He has the power to even turn a D-level vampire into one of the true blood. If we are to revive the noble bloods, then he might turn the high aristocrats and noble to pure bloods for us." All the members of the meeting nodded and agreed before leaving each other.


"Hey, Sasuke!" Sasuke's eyes twitched in annoyance as Inuzuka Kiba stood before him while he was getting his bento out at the lunch bell. "Do you believe in vampires!"

"What kind of question is that?" The eight year old sighed.

"He's probably going about those current murders... Troublesome." Nara Shikamaru sighed as Akimichi Choji ate next to him along with Hyuuga Hinata and Aburane Shino.

"What murders?" Sasuke asked. He knew both of his parents were investigating some, but they didn't give him much detail.

"The ones happening around Konoha were victims are being drained of blood and cut up!" Kiba snickered.

"Shut up, Kiba!" Yamanaka Ino and Haruno Sakura shouted at Kiba while hitting him beside the head. "Vampires don't exist!"

"But, then how are the victims are drained of blood and only at night has these murders happened." Kiba chimed. "And, none of the adults have been unable to catch the murderer."

"...Kiba... The person could be just a psycho who drains the victims' blood through other means like entombing." A dark hair boy named Sai let out a sigh as Kiba blushed in embarrassment."

"Alright! Quiet down!" Unimo Iruka shouted out at the class. "Since it's raining outside and outdoor activities are canceled, I'm going to treat you to a movie for getting good scores on your last test." Everyone cheered. "However, I have to warn you, it's a horror movie. I didn't have many choices at the movie renting place."

Kiba raised his hand. "What kind of horror movie is it?"

"A vampire one... It's not a bad one, too." Iruka sighed. "Now, eat your lunch and enjoy the movie. If you don't like it, you can ask me to leave and you can read book outside the room." Iruka sighed as he put the tape in the television. A grin came onto Kiba's face as Sasuke let out a sigh as the movie began. There was no way vampires could exist.

However, Sasuke did notice some things as the movie went on. The way everyone was dressed was much like the way his Naruto-sensei dressed, and the way they behaved was much like Naruto. Then, he realized what some of the 'vampires' did as hobbies and it made the eight year old wonder.

'Is Naruto-sensei a vampire?... How can he be a vampire? He can walk during the day... But I never have seen him in the morning...' Sasuke brooded. If Naruto was a vampire, then why was he teaching him jutsu and such. He was very confused, but he had to know the answer. He decided to see where Naruto lives and give him a personal visit.

Vampire-Vampire-Vampire-

"So... I guess this 'council' wants me for what I am?" Naruto sighed while looking at several teenage looking people.

"Yeah... They don't mind that you are staying here, but I just think they want to be on friendly terms with you since you are a true vampire." One of the teens sighed, sipping the tea Naruto prepare. "This is pretty good tea."

"Thank you... And I can tell you do not share the views of your elders, correct?"

"Yes... They only care about power... We just want to live in peace beside humans and we don't want to drink human blood. We even made these tablets to keep ourselves from having to drink blood." A beautiful teenage girl gave Naruto a sliver container and she opened it to find white pills. "We put them in water and it makes a blood alternative." The girl explained as Naruto put the pills in some plain water. The pills turned the water blood red and she took a sip.

"...Horrible... This is, however, a good alternative if needed, but I'll give you some advice and tell you animal blood is just as good as human blood. It's actually what our original blood diet came from. Plus, noone will question you if you ask for the blood from a butcher since cooks often will use the blood to either to cook some dishes or use it to marinate meat." Naruto let out a simple sigh after finishing the glass of false blood.

"I see... But, even though we are here on orders of the council, we want to warn you to be careful around them as well as the laws we vampires go by." The oldest of the group said in a stern tone.

"Don't worry. I really am not fond of human blood anyways. I will only turn a human into a vampire for a good reason... And Sasuke-chan, you can join us if you like." Naruto said as Sasuke came into the room wearing a white dress.

"So, this is the ex-human you made." A younger vampire sneered.

"Unlike pure bloods, true vampires can turn humans into stronger vampires. The more the once human vampire drinks from his or her master, the more vampire they become... Sasuke is now a high normal vampire to low aristocrat vampire from how much she drank from me. I spent some time in an alternate reality thanks to the seal I was in and Sasuke is from that world. I don't know how she ended up here, but if the humans have found her 'dead' body, as I turned her near death, a huge mess would have happened and ended up with major problems for humans." Naruto patted Sasuke's hair. "She is a dear my friend from that other world and I did not want her to die in the condition she was in. Plus, Sasuke had nothing left after the 'tragedy' that took place in that world which got me back in this body and finally awakened me from that seal, so she didn't mind becoming a vampire."

"So, you can also turn other vampires into higher levels?" Another vampire asked.

"Yes... But only with my consent... Let's just say that if a vampire that does drink my blood without my permission will not live." Naruto smirked. "And I don't mean that I jam my hand through their heart."

"...At least you don't have to worry about someone trying to drink from you..." A pure blood teen sighed. "But, keep a camera near by... I want to see what would happen if a council member tries to drink from you." The boy chuckled.

"Well, I'm glad to meet some vampires who do not wish to continue the cycle of hate that was caused by misunderstanding. If you need help on anything, than I do not mind helping you out." Naruto sighed.

"Sure... But, before we go, what animal do you recommend getting blood from?" A female pure blood asked, wanting to try animal blood.

"Cows are good, but I prefer chicken blood as it is really easy to get a hold of... But, you can also bite into a rat, too, you know..." Naruto smiled.

"...No thanks..." Naruto sweated as the group left her studio.

"What? Rat blood is alright with a little sugar..." Naruto pondered while Sasuke gagged behind the blond's back while holding her neck. "So, Sasuke-chan, starting to like my dresses now?"

"..." Sasuke glared at Naruto. She definitely didn't like the frilly, lacy dresses and clothing Naruto made for her, but she realized Naruto wasn't trying to embarrass him since her old fashion sense took over. Sasuke only wore the dresses because Naruto made them for her. 'But... I'm going to either buy some of my own clothes or make my own once I can get a job.' Sasuke looked away in anger. She was so useless. She was still trying to learn how to sew as well as cook, but found that kind of stuff was actually harder to do than it looks.

"...Well... I best get dinner going." Naruto sighed, wondering what to cook as Sasuke glared at her sewing kit, wanting it to obey to her will and let her sew something correctly.


"Aniki... Do you believe in vampires?" Sasuke asked as his older brother was cooking dinner for them both.

"Vampires?... Why?" Itachi blinked at his little brother.

"Well... There has been some strange murders happening and they all had their blood drained..." Sasuke looked down. He hadn't told anyone about Naruto, so he couldn't just say he was wondering if the blond was a vampire.

"...I don't know..." Itachi sighed before focusing back on cooking. "But, can you promise me to be home at least by six at the latest?"

"Huh? Why?" Sasuke asked.

"Well, these murders have been happening at night, so I don't want to worry about you." Itachi answered while Sasuke's eyes widen.

"Okay..." Sasuke pouted. He didn't like it, but it was to keep his brother from worrying.

"Good... Dinner is done..." Itachi smiled at his little brother's antics.

"Oh, what are we having?" Sasuke chimed. He never knew his brother was a good cook.

"...Soup... I was asked to check out some missions to see who could fit them since I couldn't take them and got home late." Itachi sighed. However, his head began to hurt.

"Are you alright, Aniki?" Sasuke asked as he saw Itachi pinch the bridge of his nose.

"Yeah... Just a headache... I'm not really hungry, so I think I'll go lay down to see if it's just being tired." Sasuke watched as his brother left the kitchen after putting Sasuke's meal on the table.

'I hope Aniki is alright...' Sasuke was beginning to worry all the work he had been doing had finally hit him.

Meanwhile, Itachi locked the door to his bedroom behind him. The pain was beginning the spread from his head and slowly goes through his body. Flashes of his dreams and other images flew before his vision.

'W-What the heck is going on?' Itachi managed to get to his bed. 'Why is this happening to me?'

"Huh?" Itachi suddenly passed out on the bed.

"..." Fourteen year old Haruto walked through the woods behind the manor, looking for his sister. "My lady-Ack!"

"Haruto... Be quiet..." Haruto turned around to see his sister wearing a simple red dress. "I don't want anyone to find us right now."

"...My lad-"

"Don't call me that." Haruto looked at his sister. Her eyes with tears in them. "I want you to call me by my name."

"But-"

"No buts... I love you... And I know you love me too..." Haruto's eyes widen as his blond hair sister was inches away from him. "I don't care what others think, but I want to run away with you. Away from the stupid customs of our covenant."

"But... Naruto..."

"You said my name..." Haruto blinked as his sister hugged him. "You finally called me by my name..." Haruto noticed tears dripping down his sister's cheeks.

"... Naruto... Do you really hate our destiny?" Haruto asked before getting whacked aside his head.

"Baka! Destiny does not exist! If it does, then it is made by our choices and I choose to go against our covenants' customs! I want to marry you! I love you, Haruto!" Haruto's eyes widen when his sister kissed him deeply.

"Heh... I love you, too.. Naruto..." Haruto smirked as both their eyes became a glowing blood red and fangs protruding from their upper lips. "Do you really want to become my lover?"

"Not lover... Wife..." Haruto groaned as his sister sank her fangs into his neck and he did the same, both drinking the other's blood. "I want to be with you forever, to protect you even if we both die." Haruto's sister smiled, blood dripping from her mouth and neck like her brother.

"Yes... And the same I wish to do for you." Haruto smiled.

"You little devil!" Both looked to see their father charging towards Haruto.

"Stop!" The sister got in front of Haruto.

"Agh!" Haruto pushed his sister out of the way to get hit hard on the cheek.

"How dare you drink your sister's blood!"

"Because we care about each other." Haruto sneered. "I love her more than you ever did. I por- no, will protect her and make her happy!" Haruto roared as flames shot from his body. There dark hair father stood there before smirking.

"Fine then. Be it that way."

"I let him drink my blood!" Naruto, Haruto's sister shouted. "And I drank his blood! And it was my idea! I'm the one that should be punished!"

"Naruto!" Haruto gagged as he got hit in the stomach by a kick.

"Haruto!"

"Hmph. If you are going to even stay near Naruto, then you best do your job. You are not even worth it if you don't do your job as ser-ACK!" Naruto bit down on her father's hand. "Why-"

"Dear..." All three looked to see a blond hair woman coming up. Haruto and Naruto ran over to their mother and hid behind her.

"Don't think you can keep them from their punishment. They did a forbidden act! They drank each other's blood!"

"So? My dear brother and husband. Doesn't it show how much they love each other? Why not let them marry? Both are prodigies, so it will make the next clan heir quite strong." The woman sighed. "Or, are you such a fool of formalities to not see what is right for the covenant?"

"...Er... Fine... I will consider it, but," Haruto's father pointed at Haruto. "You better do your job as Naruto's servant. If you do it will, than I will allow you to marry her since the rest of the other young men are not suitable for her." Naruto hopped onto Haruto as their parents left.

"Huh?" Itachi groaned, pain aching throughout his body. 'Woah... That was really bad...' Itachi shook his head and sat up. Everywhere now ached a low pain, but it wasn't so bad as before. 'Maybe I caught something?' Itachi sighed before seeing he slept for several hours. He decided he should just go back to bed. Didn't people say the best thing to do when feeling ill was to rest? Itachi changed into his pajamas and crawled back into his bed. He, oddly, found it hard to fall asleep, so he grabbed one of the books one his book shelf and began to read to help him fall asleep.

"…Aniki, are you alright?" Itachi looked after an hour of reading to see his brother in his room.

"Yes. What is it?" Itachi asked, though his vision suddenly shifted. He kept on a poker face to hide it, but he suddenly also felt weird.

"Um… Earlier, I heard you moaning."Sasuke looked down. "Like you were in pain."Sasuke was now scared. He had followed his brother earlier to his room and listen only to hear his brother go into some kind of painful breathing fit and faint on the floor. He didn't dare go into the room earlier as to how scared he was. His brother never gotten ill before as long as he there. But, for Itachi to get ill now? Sasuke had a theory and he really hoped he was wrong.

"…" Itachi frowned, putting the book away. "I… don't know… I just think I caught a bug or something."

"But, I noticed you haven't been eating a lot either. Maybe you should go to the doctor?" Sasuke frowned as he was worried if either his brother really did caught a bad illness… Or worse.

"I'm fine…" Itachi had this one little fear he did not talk about. He absolutely hated doctors and hospitals. He… did not have a very pleasant experience as a child in doctor offices and hence made sure to take every precaution to limit his time in such places. However, he gripped his head as his vision swayed again and he nearly fell out of the bed.

"Aniki!" Sasuke ran over to Itachi, worried. "You need to see a doctor!"

'Sasuke…' Itachi thought, however, his thoughts ceased when he looked at his brother, or more specially, Sasuke's neck.

"Aniki?" Sasuke recoiled as he noticed his brother's eyes turned read, but did not have any tomoes like the Sharingan had. "Aniki… Stop…" Sasuke trembled in horror as Itachi grabbed his arm and he looked straight into the blood red eyes. 'N-N-Nani? Why can't I move?' Sasuke thought before feeling Itachi's breath on his neck. His eyes widen as he felt two very small pricks on his neck and wetness on his neck. "ANIKI! SNAP OUT OF IT!" Sasuke screamed, trying to get his brother to stop biting his neck.

"Sasuke!" Sasuke managed to move his head back slightly to see his curly head cousin Shisui in the doorway. He watched as Shisui pulled something out of his hip sack. He threw the object and it hit Itachi right on the forehead, knocking him off of Sasuke and back onto the bed. Sasuke collapsed onto the ground, trembling while holding his neck, feeling what had to be blood slipping his fingers.

"…Nani?" Sasuke blinked, seeing something of paper talisman on his brother's forehead while his brother looked out cold.

"Are you alright, Sasuke?" Sasuke looked at Shisui who knelled down to him.

"Yeah…" Sasuke whimpered in a low voice. He had just gotten bite by his brother, who is possibly a vampire. 'But… Aniki…' Sasuke looked at Itachi, worried for his brother.

"I didn't think those old books from my ancestor were fake." Shisui sighed, getting Sasuke's attention. "With the strange murders, I looked into some old books from my mom's side and made these talismans as they are said to be able to hold back vampires. Never knew my priest ancestor actually had the skills to hold back vampire… Oh, crap!" Shisui stood up, seeing the talisman on Itachi's head begin to burn of blue flames and turn to ash. "Sasuke, get out of here."

"No, we have to save Ani-KI!" Sasuke tried to get up, but his hip gave way from the fright he had.

"Dammit." Shisui gotten in front of Sasuke, pulling out more talismans as the one on Itachi's forehead completely burned off and Itachi groaned, opening his eyes to be blood red.

"Ow… What hit me?" Itachi groaned, holding his forehead with his eyes watering some. "Oh, that's right…" Itachi looked up for his eyes to widen at Shisui.

"I'm sor-"

"You again? Ack!" Itachi hit the floor, making Shisui and Sasuke to sweat at the fact an ANBU captain just managed to fall off a bed. "Itetete… Dammit! Don't tell me you-ACK!" Sasuke flinched when Itachi hit the floor when he tripped on his two own feet.

"Er… Itachi, are you okay?" Shisui asked, seeing it seemed Itachi had regained his conciseness.

"Huh? What's an E-ta-chi?" Itachi asked, rubbing his nose before looking at his arms. "What-What the heck? My arms? This can't be my body!" Itachi tried to get up, managing to run some for the door only to trip again. "Ow!"

"Aniki?" Sasuke asked, scared something was very wrong with his brother.

"What the heck is going on?" Itachi groaned, rubbing his forehead. He turned around, glaring straight at Shisui. "What the heck did you to me, you stupid priest?"

"…Nani? I'm a ninja." Shisui pointed out as Itachi sweated.

"Damn you, Yotobari Kyoeisai! Stop making lame jokes!" Itachi roared in anger while Sasuke wondered if Itachi wasn't a vampire, but possessed by a ghost of one.

"… Kyoeisai existed over a hundred or so years ago. He's my ancestor." Shisui sighed as Itachi sweated before realizing something.

"Wait… Your hair is short compared to that…Huh? A hundred years ago?" Itachi shouted in shock as Sasuke and Shisui sweated.

"You're a bit slow on uptakes, aren't ya… But, who are you and why are you in Itachi's body?" Shisui sighed, putting up the talismans.

"My name is Haruto of the Uzumaki covenant. And how the heck should I know how the heck I got into this body?" Itachi shouted in anger. "Last thing I remember is that bastard Kyoeisai saying something about a second chance and holding a sliver cross before me and I passed out."

"Well, Haruto-san, what happens if you bite a human?" Shisui asked before seeing Itachi's body pale.

"What? When did I-" When the red eyes on Itachi's body lay onto Sasuke, Itachi's eyes watered up. "No! How could I do such a crime? I should commit suicide!" Itachi cried, laying on the floor in despair. "Why the heck did that Kyoeisai idiot kept me from committing suicide?"

"Um… It's alright?" Sasuke sighed before moving his hand from his neck. "Nani…" Sasuke blinked, finding there was a lot less blood than he thought and managed to get up and looked in the reflection of one of the kunai to see the bite marks that he remembers seeing vampire leave in the information books he looked at not on his neck. 'Wow, those healed up quickly. "Um… It's late, so I think I should go to bed. Um… Haruto-san, you might want to-" Sasuke jumped when Itachi's body fell over and began breathing heavy. "Aniki?"

"He just past out from exhaustion and he has a slight fever." Shisui sighed, having knelled over to Itachi's body and put his hand on the prodigy's forehead. "Maybe Itachi's illness is from his body adjusting having a vampire soul in his body as his own. I'll get him into bed as if he drank some of your blood, he should be fine after some rest."

"But…" Sasuke looked down with a frown.

"It's alright. I will keep an eye on him. However, you might want me to treat your wound." Shisui sighed, picking Itachi up and putting him in his bed. 'Wow… He's light… He must have not been able to eat a lot the past few days.'

"It's already healed. I think he didn't get a good bite into my neck and just scratched me when you hit him with that paper and his saliva healed my wounds." Sasuke said in a normal tone, not noticing his cousin turning slightly green.

'You are one weird brat.' Shisui thought before sighing. "Sure, sure. Whatever, but go take a bath and throw away that shirt. Your parents will have a field day seeing it and wondering what happened to you." Shisui pointed out Sasuke's bloody shirt, causing the young boy to run out of the room in a panic. "But, man… How the heck did this happen?... Wait… Uzumaki? Isn't there an Uzumaki in Konoha?" Shisui pondered while remembering what Haruto said. 'A sliver cross… I wonder what this has to do with Haruto being inside Itachi's body?' Shisui groaned before frowning at Itachi. "I better get a cool rag for that fever." Shisui stared at Itachi, wondering if it was possible for vampires to even get sick.


"Naruto... I was wondering why you took me in..." Sasuke asked as both was drinking tea.

"You are my best friend... Someone precious to me and I do not wish to lose anyone precious ever again..." Naruto sighed before flinching.

"What's wrong, Naruto?" Sasuke asked before she realized what Naruto flinched for. She smelt blood, thick, close by their home.

"..." Naruto got up and opened the window near her.

"Where are you going?" Sasuke asked in confusion.

"Saving those I care about..." Naruto spoke before turning into a bat and flying out the window.

"...Okay... It's weird for Naruto to be a bat... Always thought her to be a fox..." Sasuke sighed, putting some sugar in her tea. Sasuke wondered what Naruto meant, but, since Naruto was now her real self, there were just things she could not understand of the blond at times.

"...We need to get to a hospital..." A red hair fourteen year old grunted as he helped a badly hurt pink hair thirteen year old move. He was also hurt, but not as badly as the girl.

"...Why should I bother?... Sasuke and Naruto are dead... Everything at home is collapsing and now we don't know where we are... It's hopeless..." Tears began to fall from the pink hair girl.

"...Naruto would want you to live on..." The boy sighed. He wasn't sure how the pink hair girl's teammates really were, but he did understand one well because they were the same.

"But... He's dead... I can't believe they killed him!" The girl wept. Her life had collapsed from under her feet. If she was just a bit stronger in the past, than none of this would have happened.

"...Why are you two doing here?" Both turned around and the girl's green eyes widen.

"Naruto!" The pink hair girl glopped onto the blond hair eighteen year old.

"Are you really Naruto?" The boy asked while looking over the blond.

"Yeah... It's me, Gaara... Sakura..." Naruto smiled before frowning. "But, what the heck happen to you two?"

"Everything is a mess back in Konoha... I don't know where Kakashi ended up, but the council overthrew Tsunade and all chaos went loose." The girl known as Sakura shivered. "I thought you were dead like Sasuke from what the rumors are..."

"No... And Sasuke isn't dead either... 'He' got here after running away from Orochimaru when he realized his mistakes... But, you two need medical attention.."

"I'm fine... Get Sakura to the hospital..." Gaara sighed.

"This coming from the guy with a gash in his throat..." Naruto sighed while the one tail Jinchuriki blushed, trying to hide his wounds out of embarrassment. "But I don't think even Tsunade could heal Sakura's wounds in time to save her."

"But... I just got you back... I don't want to die!" Sakura weeped.

"... Then, do you mind becoming a beast?"

"Huh?" Both looked at Naruto.

"I can save you, but I will have to turn you into what I am." Naruto held some of Sakura's hair.

"What you are?" Sakura asked. Gaara was also confused.

"Yeah... Would you believe I'm a graceful beast of the night?" Naruto smirked, showing off a pair of fangs.

"Er..." Sakura paled as Gaara cocked his head. "Naruto... Don't joke... Get me-"

"I'm not... I'm sorry for my bad behavior from when I was stuck in that fake body... But, I need an answer or else you will die."

"...What about Sasuke?" Sakura asked.

"Well... Sasuke is now a vampire, but we do not how he turned into a she, but I found Sasuke as a girl, so it had to do with how he got here." Naruto sighed as Sakura exposed her neck.

"Fine... I'll become one..." Comical tears fell down Sakura's cheeks as to the fact her crush was now a girl vampire. 'At least I have my friends back.' Sakura thought as Naruto sank her fang into Sakura's neck while Gaara watched with horror. He didn't know of vampires and such was confused as Naruto slit her wrist and made Sakura drink her blood after biting Sakura.

"W-What the?"

"Never heard of vampires?" Naruto asked, holding a now unconscious Sakura bridal style in her arms. Gaara only nodded. "I see... Do you wish to become one, too? You are also badly hurt, though you could reach the hospital in time."

"...I'll become one... But, after we get somewhere where you can put your friend down..." Both sweated at the drooling Sakura.

"... Great... Now I need to get some more coffins." Naruto sighed as she led Gaara to her home.


Endnote-Alright, I hope you enjoy this chapter. Next chapter I guess will solve a great deal of mysteries… And add some. Well, Happy Mardi Gras!
