Yay next chapter. I had it ready days ago, but sadly my laptop had been stolen in france and I had to rewrite it.
He let out a long yawn. It was Friday evening and Itachi was lying on his couch before the TV, switching through the channels. But there was nothing interesting.
Turning of the TV he stood up and stretched. His bones made snapping sounds and he groaned. He was bored like hell. There was nothing to do since he didn't need to work right now. He was supposed to get to know his surroundings first and wait for his orders.
Itachi strolled into the kitchen and grabbed a bottle of orange juice. Sitting down at the kitchen table he sighed. "Perhaps I should go out for a walk." He sighed again. "God, I'm talking to myself again."
His head hit the kitchen table with a low thud. "Ouch." He groaned.
Normally he liked to be alone and his friends needed to drag him out of his room. But right now he felt alone without them. And he was bored, it was just too quiet for his liking.
"That's it." He jumped out of his chair, grabbed his coat and keys and left to explore the city.
"7 more victims in not even 2 weeks, altogether there have been 28 victims in 3 months." "Don't forget that there could be victims we don't know about yet, Tsunade." "Yes thank you. They're all young men around an age from 15 to 26 years."
Three persons were walking down a long hallway, dimly lit by the lamps on the wall. Two females, one black haired and the other blond, were talking to a young man with spiky black hair.
Shizune, the black haired female, carried a stack of papers, while Tsunade had a file in her hand, looking through the papers in it.
"No signs of rape and no wounds at all, we couldn't even find the bite marks yet."
"So what makes you think it was a vampire?" Sasuke tried to look over Tsunades shoulder at the papers and got a hard smack over the head in return.
"Damnit, stop interfering, let me the hell finish talking you brat." Her eyebrow dangerously twitched as he tried to look again. "And stop trying to peek." He ducked before he could be hit by another blow and rubbed his sore head.
"It would be easier if you just give me the file, I can read for myself." Tsunade ignored him as she just continued walking down the hall. He frowned.
"To answer your question, all bodies were void of blood, there wasn't even a single drop left. We assume that the marks have been somehow covered. The crime scenes had no connection with each other at all." She stopped in front of her office and turned around, looking Sasuke straight into the eyes. Shizune walked into the room to put away the papers.
"We also assume that this was done by a female vampire. She never leaves any tracks and we're already searching for her since three months. Your next mission will be to find and execute her finally." She handed him the file.
"You may go." With that she opened the door to her office and stepped in. Sasuke had already left.
Tsunade was right, there were no tracks at all an. It was around 4 in the morning. The moon was hidden behind dark storm clouds, but the storm hadn't started yet. He had read the file, talked with the responsible hunters and had gone to every crime scene. And that all in one night and he had still no clue where to start the search. He sighed, what a nuisance, but he had an idea how to get some more information.
The vampire society lives after the caste system. On top there are mostly the lords, the leaders of the old clans. For example the Uchihas. After that come the smaller clans and families.
At the bottom are the turned humans, which aren't very skilled and easy to kill, but have the greatest thirst for blood. Below the bottom you could say are the halfbloods. They're disregarded as bastards by the vampire society.
Climbing up the ladder into a higher caste is nearly impossible. The caste you are born into will mostly be the caste of your lifetime, if you don't fall down the ladder that is, which is pretty easy to do so.
The plan now was to find a vampire, which could give him a hint. He suspected one from the higher castes to be the culprit and in exchange for their live the vampires of lower castes would gladly turn them in.
He had searched in the city but had no luck so far. So now he was sitting on the roof of a 5 story building and observed the street below him, where the teenagers were walking home from their nightly activities. He looked up at the sky. Thinking about it, one of them could be the next victim.
For vampires this was all a game. They didn't need that much blood. But killing as many humans as possible just in front of the hunters nose without being caught can get them famous.
He was thrown out of his thoughts by a young male walking down the street, seemingly without a clue were to go. This man had a weird aura around him, it made the hairs on Sasukes neck stand up.
Sasuke observed him, eyes formed to slits. The male had stopped at a bus stop and was looking at a city map.
He was wearing a black coat and had long black hair, tied to a low ponytail. As he was done analyzing the card he turned around and let out a long yawn.
Sasuke activated his Sharingan and looked closer. Razor sharp fangs advanced out of the males mouth, glistening in the yellow light shining from the street lamps.
A vampire. 'Finally.' Now he would get some answers.
Smirking he looked around. There were some people, he would have to follow him and wait till they were alone. Sasuke followed the vampire as he started to walk again, jumping from roof to roof.
Walking around a corner the vampire came into another street, which was empty and dark, besides the street lamps. He didn't seem to have noticed that he was being followed by a hunter. That was good.
Sasuke smirked and jumped of the roof into a nearby alleyway. He looked around the corner, only to see his prey gone.
'Shit' "Mind telling why you're following me?" His eyes widened and he whirled around. There he stood, leaning against the wall of the alley arms crossed over his chest and looked at the hunter with coal black eyes.
Sasuke looked over the vampire before him, thinking about the best way to get him to talk. He couldn`t kill him yet.
"Hey I asked you something." Sasuke only glared at the vampire. "You're a vampire." Said vampire raised an eyebrow. "No shit Sherlock, but that's no reason to stalk me, only if you're a hunter."
"Actually I am." Sasuke got into a fighting stance, hand on his dagger. "Ah, that explains it of course." The vampire slowly nodded his head up and down, eyes closed.
'Now.' He attacked, intending to pin the vampire to the wall, but he was faster and moved out of the way. The dagger hit the wall with a loud thud.
"Hey what was that for?" He looked up at the vampire and was met with an offended look. Sasuke snorted and pulled the dagger out of the wall.
"I have some questions and you are going to answer them." He pointed the dagger towards the long haired male his eyes glowing red.
"Ok ok, whatever, but you didn't needed to attack me you know." The vampire had his hands in front of him, eyeing him with a careful look.
"But first of all, put this thing away. You might hurt someone." He pointed at the dagger. "And I want to know who I'm talking to, otherwise I will leave."
Sasuke didn't move an inch and just continued glaring at him, dagger in position. "As if I would ever trust someone like you."
"I didn't ask you to trust me, did I." The vampire looked at him waiting, but Sasuke didn't moved.
"As you wish." The male sighed and turned around "If you don't want to talk with me the polite way." He was gone before Sasuke could react.
"Shit, come back here now." He speed out of the alley looking around the street with his Sharingan, but he couldn't see the vampire. He could however feel his presence. Sasuke growled.
"I know you're there, move your ass out here right now you wimp." The street stayed empty as a cold wind blew through it. The storm was about to begin.
Sasuke sighed in defeat. He was tired and was sure he wouldn't find another vampire but this one. He had to take this chance.
'The polite way, eh.' He would go for this game only this time, but he would pay that bastard back.
"I know you're still there, so please move your ass out here." Still nothing. He rubbed his temple and sighed. Putting away the dagger he tried again. "My name is Sasuke, can you come out now, please."
"That's a nice name. I'm Itachi." He had jumped down from the roof and landed just besides the hunter. Sasuke immediately tensed up and moved away, eyeing the vampire suspiciously.
Itachi cocked his head. "I don't bite, you know. So what do you want to ask me?"
"There have been repeated murder of young men in the last three months, do you know something about it?" He looked Itachi directly into the eyes, daring him to lie.
Itachi just shrugged his shoulders. "No. I just moved here a few days ago. I'm sorry but I don't think I can help you with that. Anything else?"
Sasuke couldn't say if it was a lie or not, but he had it for today and just wanted to go home. "No, that was everything for now."
"Good, then I will be going. The storm is about to start." Itachi looked up at the sky and Sasuke followed his gaze. Small rain drops were starting to fall down on their faces and the wind had gotten stronger.
"You should go home too. I wish you luck for your search." He smiled and waved at him. "Till we meet again." Itachi walked away, hands in his pockets and humming quietly to himself.
Sasuke just looked at his retreating back, mouth slightly open as if he wanted to say something. He shook his head and moved around intending on walking home.
"Weird guy." He had never met a vampire who had behaved like this one. He had seemed nearly human, but this was certainly just a cover.
Sasuke stopped short and turned around. Flashes of lightning illuminated the night as he followed the vampire through the storm, a dark look on his face.
Itachi could only smile as Sasuke followed him to his apartment. „Stalker"
