Okay! I'm back.
I forgot to mention a few things last chapter, as I was extremely rushed in producing the chapter, so I will just brief it here.
The Documents that Kakashi and Sakura read, were not complete. They only contained the History and Lore of the Ancient Vampires... Nothing about what Naruto would have to feed on to survive. It only mentioned that the Ancient Vampires had become Psuedo Immortals.
I am also thinking of giving Inner Sakura a body, like a seperation/ body building technique. I am toying with the idea of her also being with Naruto. Like a Naru x Saku x I.S. threesome. I may also add in one more girl... But as I have said to others, I have no experience with anything more than a one-on-one pairing... And the last Citrus scene I wrote, I don't think was very good... Though my literary teacher said otherwise, I think she was just a perv.
As for who the third chick would be... I would normally say Ino, or Karin, or Hinata, but I think if I do this it would most likely be Anko, or Hana... IDK yet.
A guest mentioned that I should make my chapters longer, and while I agree, this fic is more of a test run than I want it to be... When I come out with a new fic, I will be making them longer, and having more detail.
If anyone wants to read another LoK and Naruto x-over, check out 'Spectral Ninja rewrite' by FireIdar. It is a good fic, and very well put together. One of the better x-overs I've read in a while.
I am sorry to say that this is a Short Chapter... I was unable to work on it as much as I wanted. Gomenasai.
Disclaimer: If I owned Naruto, and The Legacy of Kain series. I wouldn't be living in a small town. I'd have my own fucking mansion on my own god damn island, with plenty of food and water and other things to last me a few years of solitude. Of course I would also have about forty maids to keep the place clean, and keep me occupied... What? I'm a guy with a very healthy sex drive. Wanna fight about it?

Chapter 6: A New Weapon, And Sakura's Savior
Tenten flipped the page's of her weapon catalog, bored out of her mind. Her father was busy working the forge, and they had only had a few customers all day. She was trying to find information on the sword Naruto carried, but so far had no luck. 'Twas increasingly aggravating, as the only weapon that closely resembled the blade was a dagger that the Daimyo of Yami-no-Kuni possessed as a heirloom. Though they were only the same type of blade.
Her father walked in from the basement forge, and sat down next to her, wondering why she was obssessing again. 'She is more fanatical than I am... What kind of weapon, besides the seven blades, would make her do this?' He watched as her eyes narrowed in frustration. 'I hope that whoever has such a weapon, doesn't come here... She can be so pushy.'
He would find that he thought too soon.

Naruto gazed across the lake behind his mansion, his mind a literal pot of chaos. He knew that he shouldn't think so heavily about a stupid dream, but then again, he also knew to trust his instincts. 'There is also the matter of what that spirit said... What could the Pillars have to do with anything now? They are long destroyed...' He sighed as he noticed the time. The sun was setting.
'Mayhap I should go before the shops close.' He then stood from the bench on his balcony, and proceeded to head towards Konoha. "Kurama, I shall return." He heard Kurama aknowledge his words, before he broke apart into a flock of bats. The bats flew towards the village, just as the sun began to sink below the horizon.
No one seemed to notice it, the bats were not a normal creature to find around Konoha. The ignorance, and arogancy was nearly sickening to the vampire. He payed it no mind, however. He had his own thoughts to deal with.

Sakura heard the flapping of multiple small wings, before looking up. Golden bats were flying in a straight line towards the buisiness district. 'You don't see that everyday... Bats are'nt a creature you find here.' She decided to follow them. She had just got out of her shift at the hospital, she felt that she had to see this. Naruto's documents only contained info about the 'Vampires' from before the curse. It only mentioned a small bit of the curse. Psuedo Immortality.
She wanted, no needed to know more. She felt an obligation to the topic. She felt as though a force, nearly divine-like, pulling her to him. She knew that something conected her blonde to this small phenomenon. 'My blonde...? I guess that I do feel possesive of him.' She leapt up onto a rooftop and followed the flying rodents. Staying as far back as to see them and hopefully remain undetected.
She watched as they gathered on the roof of Tenten's family weapon store. She wondered what they were doing, untill they shifted into the form of the man she coveted. She gasped, thinking that such a thing impossible, but knew deep down that it was no illusion. She then watched him nearly glide down to the shop's entrance. As silent as a ghost.

Naruto would have chuckled that none had even looked at him as he landed. Their hearts remained at a steady beat, as they didn't even hear him. 'My stealth is nearly twenty times better than my pranking days... I do not see why they considered such a gift as a curse. Sure the hunger might be bad, and immortality can be a bitch at times... But this is fucking awesome.' He did chuckle then, as he opened the door. His sword nearly scraping against the frame. The small bell chiming as he strode forth, and nearly sweatdropped.
Weapons of all kinds lined the walls, many were on display in cases. Many of them were simple, nearly generic. Others were exotic, and he knew that they could be a pain to master, but even more difficult to get the basics of. He smirked as he saw a katana with two blades, one connected to each side of the handle. 'Yeah... not only no, but...' He then heard the voice of Konoha's resident weapons otaku.
"Welcome to the 'Shinobi's Tool Shed.'* How may I hel-" Suddenly he was neraly ran over as Tenten cried out. "Oh my Kami, you're here. Can I see your sword Naruto-kun?!" He glanced to his right and sweatdropped again, seeing the stars in her eyes. "Well, Tenten. I don-" He was cut off. "Where did you find such a sword?! What is it called?! How was it forged?! Can I hold it?!" Naruto sighed, before hearing a gruff voice speak out.
"Musume, leave the poor guy alone. I am sure that the damn blade is'nt as great as you... think..." Naruto saw a man, that appeared to be in his late thirties approach, before stopping at seeing the blonde. Though the man's gaze was locked on his sword. "... It can't be..." The man, who was almost the epitome of an average blacksmith gasped. Eyes had widened as the man started to sweat. "Where in makai... did you find... 'The Reaver?'"
Naruto's eyes narrowed. "And how, pray tell, do you know exactly which weapon I carry?" His voice was colder than the stratosphere. The man gulped. "Tenten... step away from him. That blade will only allow him to use it." Tenten's gaze went towards her father, and noticed the fear in his eyes. "Tou-san?" The man motioned for her to step away. She did so reluctantly.
"It seems that you posses knowledge about my blade blacksmith. I hope you know what I will do if you do not answere my question." The man gulped, and took a small step back. "I-I am a descendant of Vorador's mortal family, m-my Lord." Naruto's aura stopped flooding the shop, and the two could breath again. His face went back to the apathetic side. "I see..." He then stepped up to the counter. "I require another weapon..."
He paused, not knowing the name of Tenten's now known father. 'To think that the old Vampire's line still exists.' The man stood straight and answered in near reverance. "My name is Takashi*, my Lord." Naruto nodded. "Very well, Takashi-san. I require another weapon." The man was instantly behind the counter. "Of course sir! What may I help you find?"
Naruto thought for a moment, pondering what he wanted. "First I must obtain a high-quality katana for my gaurdian. I however, need a new weapon forged... I believe that a combat scythe should do. One that can channel my mana." Takashi nodded. "I shall start forging as soon as you have the katana, sir." Naruto inclined his head in thanks, before turning to look for a Dai-Katana for Kurama.
He passed over many swords, but stopped at one. Gazing at it, he noticed that it was special. 'This blade contains a soul... Very high-quality.' The blade was nestled in its sheath, a color as like fire. The Tsuba had an emblem of the fire element, from day's long passed. The handle was made of dense oak, though he could tell it was a Tang Blade*. 'Twas wrapped in a fire-red cloth, and the pommel was as gold as the Tsuba. He lifted it off the shelf, and drew it slightly from the scabbard.
The blade was flawless, and was polished to the point of gleaming. Even in the low light. He could feel the heat from the blade. Flame like markings were running up the spine of the blade. His eyes widened at the runes just above the hilt. 'Remarkable... To know such an ancient art as enchanting... I do believe that I will frequent this store... a lot.' He sheathed the blade and turned to Takashi.
"This will do, Takashi-san." The man looked at the Dai-katana and nodded. "Hai, my Lord. I shall get started on your scythe." Naruto nodded, and payed Tenten for the sword, before walking out of the shop, and disappearing before their eyes. Takashi sighed. "It seems we have a new 'Scion.'" Tenten just looked at her father in confussion. "Tou-san?" He nodded at her. "Come, musume. I shall explain everything..." Tenten followed her father as he went to start the forging of Naruto's new weapon, and explaining the true history of Naruto's sword.

Sakura watched as Naruto disappeared, sighing as he just vanished without a trace. She decided to head home, and take a bath. She didn't notice three pairs of eyes on her, or the pair watching those eyes. All four followed her.
Sakura had to cut through the Red Light District to get to her apartment. It was a little past ten. 'Twas here that three Nuke-nin, who had been following her, decided to jump her. "Well, well boys. Look what we got right here." The middle one said. The other two leered and chuckled. "Well, missy, hows bout you and us have some fun..?"
Sakura had a kunai ready, but knew she wouldn't be able to do much against three A-rank Shinobi. Not with 'The Branded Trio*.' Her heart started to beat faster in fear. She cursed herself for not taking the longer way home, not even realizing that they followed her from the safer district. "How about I just castrate you, and leave you to bleed out slowly?" The leader shot forward and backhanded her into the wall of a rundown shop. He then grasped her neck and started choking her.
"I am going to enjoy this, you little bitch... First I am going to shred your clothes off, then I am going to rape you, followed by-" He gasped as he looked down. Eyes widened, and paling. His heart was sticking right out of his chest, sporadically beating, and dieing, held by a paleish-tan hand. He coughed out the last of his life, before slumping forward. He never even got to slump against her as he was thrown back by an Enraged Blonde-Haired Man.
The other two were frozen from this man's aura. Sakura coughed and looked up after rubbing her throat. "N-Naruto-kun..?" Naruto just glanced at her from over his left shoulder. "Heal up, I will deal with these wastes of life... Sakura-hime." The last part was whispered, and she almost couldn't hear it. Though her eyes widened at such a suffix for her name.
It didn't even take as long for him to rip their throats out. Moving at speeds beyond most Jounin to be capable. He turned towards her, with a look of deep thought. But then his eyes hardened, and he stepped up to her. "Forgive me, Sakura... but I will leave you with a gift to help you should such a thing happen again..." She watched as he leant down, and appeared to be about to kiss her. But he then shot his lips to her neck.
It wasn't painful. Infact she moaned in near orgasmic pleasure, as his fangs peirced her skin. He sucked slowly, and her logical side knew that he was drinking her blood. Though that side was thrown out of her when she felt the energy. 'I-is he giving me... P-power?' Even her thoughts were shuttering at the heat pooling between her legs. She moaned in disappointment when he stopped, but couldn't say anything as she passed out.
Only his whispered voice broke through as she finally succumbed to sleep. "Forgive me, Sakura-hime..."

Naruto gazed at the pinkette, and sighed. 'I wasn't planning for this to happen yet... I just marked her as a potential mate... Damn...' He then picked her up in a bridal carry, and leapt off to take her home.
He reached her appartment, using his 'Soul Sense' to see where she spent the most time in the past year. The Hospital, and this appartment. He used his telekinesis to unlock and open the door, before walking in, still carrying her. He heard a small meow, and looked to see a cat sitting on the couch. It reached it's paw up and meowed again. Naruto smiled at the cat. "She will be fine, little one. She just needs some rest. Are you hungry?" The cat, that he now noticed was female, shook her head and just lead him to Sakura's room.
As he put the woman of his dreams on the queen sized matress, he brushed a bang from her face. 'You are still the most beautiful woman of all, Sakura-hime... Please forgive me.' He then brought his lips to her forhead, and decided to leave. Stopping to look back for a moment. "Please take care of her, little one." He spoke to the cat, and then disappeared. The cat nodded and curled up next to the pinkette.

Naruto appeared on his balcony, watching the reflection of the sky from the lake. He knew that Kurama had changed much about his 'Vampirism.' The Mate Mark, and being able to reproduce was to name just a few. Water could not harm him, and sunlight only weakened him by around ten percent. His Telikinesis was enhanced, along with his senses. Strength and speed were nearly tripled of Kain's.
But these thoughts weren't even on his mind. Only one thing was. 'I marked her... Kami, what was I thinking. I only wanted to give her a little power as a defense mechanism... I hope that this won't force her to like me...' He wouldn't realize for awhile that she had already fallen beforehand.
He turned to go and give Kurama the Katana he purchased. He would then spend his time in the study area.

A.N.: The first star, The Shinobi's Tool Shed... I know not very origional. Got a problem with it?
#2: Takashi... The name of one of the main characters from H.O.T.D. I wasn't in the mood for looking up Japanese names, and had just finished watching the series up untill the group got to Saya's mansion... Her father is just as much a douche as the pervy teacher... I like Zombie Survival, and I feel that I am ready for such an apocalypse. It is one of my favorite series, and I may do a x-over one day. I already finished H.O.T.D. by the time I finished this chapter.
#3: A 'Tang Blade' is a bladed weapon that was far more common before the 20th century, the blade actually runs the enitre weapon. The whole weapon is made out of one peice of metal, normally with a wood or leather covering for the handle. Most modern day blades are made with a small stainless steel rod encased by thick wood, which leads to the blade eventually breaking at the hilt when used. Normally after the first swing... Verry shoddy swords. Tang Blades are rare to find in stores, and are normally issued to military higher ups, or are family heirlooms. - Pronounced as 'Tong.'
#4: The Branded Trio: Not a very good name, though their history has to do with the slave market. They capture mainly civilian women, but will go after a Kunoichi every so often. The Trio capture's and will brand the women with the kanji for 'Trio's Slave Trading.' They only sample Kunoichi themselves'. All three are solid A-rank Nuke-Nin with a 50,000 Ryo Bounty.
I have had to edit the living hell out of this chapter, fix mispellings, and redo some scenes. I told all my friends and family that I would be going off the grid for awhile to work on this chapter... Apparently a little while to them is only a day or so. When I say a while I normally mean around two weeks, not two fucking days. I think I'm going to turn my damn phone off for the next few months, and just rent a small apartment with WiFi for the duration. Just so I can work without distractions.
This chapter was brought out before I planned to, as I was going to wait for the Sakura Saving Scene for around chapter nine. So I felt like I was rushing it, but then decided to just get it out of the way. As I stated earlier, this fic is more of a test run than anything else. I may one day rewrite it when I am confident that I have improved my writing skills.
This chapter is also a short one... And I am sorry for it. I wanted to keep up with my update scheduel, but my social life was not being cooperative. I hate that all of my friends and family think I should get out more, or do nothing but talk, text, and post on facebook. I keep telling everyone that I am Reclusive for a reason... Though they seem to have skulls as thick as the earth when it comes to listening.
Anyway, enough rambling. I hope to update this as soon as possible.
Ja-Ne. Methos-Kyuubi777 is out.
