A/N- HELLO MINNA!! 7th chapter here enjoy!


"Wha-"

"Sasuke this is no time to be standing there gaping like a fish out of water! We have serious issues!" Neji barged through Sasuke to get inside. Sasuke just watched him walk in and search around his apartment, for what Sasuke doesn't know.

"Neji? What in earth are you doing here?" It's been a week and a half since he last had contact with the Hyuuga, so to say this meeting was unexpected would be an understatement.

"Are you that stupid Sasuke? Aren't you an Uchiha? Aren't you guys supposed to be like supper smart or some crap? Seriously, get your head together!" Neji glared at him, annoyance clearly written on his face. "You did watch the news this morning didn't you? So you must know why I'm here right?"

"Yeah, the two murders right? But why do you need me?" Sasuke had inkling that he knew why Neji was here, because Neji also thought that the ones killing these people were vampires, which made perfect sense really and Neji wants Sasuke to help him. Fat chance at that.

"Sasuke come on, I know you think that is also vampires, don't act so stupid! And we both know that you are the best vampire slayer around!" Neji desperately wanted Sasuke's help but he also knew that is wasn't going to be easy.

"No." was all Sasuke said and be damned if he said anymore, he didn't want to be a vampire slayer he didn't want to kill innocent people, and if he killed a vampire…an image of Naruto suddenly appeared in his head and Sasuke just as quickly threw it to back of his mind.

"So you're not going to help me? No matter what I say or how many people die, you won't help me?" Neji said in a calm, voice which instantly made Sasuke suspicious of him. "Sasuke I know you don't want to kill innocent vampires, but you know that this vampire isn't innocent! And by you refusing to help me innocent people are dying instead! Can you really live with that Sasuke?"

Sasuke tried to stop it, but the sudden wave of guilt was too much. Damn Neji, he always knows how to get to me. With a sigh Sasuke glanced at Neji with an annoyed face. "What exactly do you want me to do?" Sasuke muttered darkly through tight lips. S smug smirk appeared on Nejis face and it took all of Sasuke's will power to not hit off.

"Just come with me, to see if we can find any clues or what not." Neji said with a slight shrug of the shoulder.

Sasuke's eyebrow twitched as he replied, "Couldn't you do that yourself?"

"Sasuke if there are two of us we'll get more covered. Besides we're both vampire hunters so we know what to look for." Neji stated matter-of-factly. Sasuke knew that there was more to it than what Neji was saying but let it slide for now, because in truth Sasuke really did want to know who was murdering people. With a resigned sigh Sasuke grabbed his coat and him and Neji headed out.

--

Naruto looked at the TV screen, disgust written all over his face. He knew it was a vampire; the details resembled that of a vampire too much. The only issue now was trying to find out who on earth would do this in the first place.

With graceful movements Naruto rose out of his chair and over to the phone. He dialled the number he had memorised centuries ago and waited. A tired and familiar voice ran through the line and Naruto smiled.

"Sorry for calling at this hour, but I need to speak to you, its urgent."

"Yeah sure, where?" Naruto could barely hear the reply so he took a gander at what was said.

"Uhh well there's a Starbucks on the corner of Jamison Street if you want to meet there?"

"Yeah that's fine, see you in an hour." With that the phone went dead and Naruto walked into his room to get changed.

"Oi, Kiba I'm going out, be sure to behave yourself, and no flirting with the maid ok, or else I'll tell them not to bring you food at all alright?" Naruto could see remember the some-what horrified look on the girls face as she told him what Kiba had done. And as if on cue Kiba came bounding around the corner a look of shock and anger on his face.

"WHAT!?! You just got back, don't tell me I have to be stuck here again?" Kiba whined collapsing to the floor over dramatically. Naruto just rolled his eyes at his childish act.

"Geez, Kiba stop acting like a baby, I'm not going to be gone forever you know." A devious smirk made its way onto Naruto's face. Naruto silently walked over to Kiba stilled sprawled on the floor. Naruto leaned over his ear and whispered huskily, "Or are you going to miss me to much Kiba" Kiba felt Naruto warm breath spread over his ear and he yelped and jumped back narrowly missing hitting Naruto in the face.

Naruto caught one glimpse of Kiba's expression and burst out laughing. It was so easy to get these reactions from Kiba and it never ceased to amuse him. Kiba seeing Naruto laughing glared murder at him and stalked over to him and whacked him over the head which only made Naruto laugh harder.

"Tch, bastard," Kiba grumbled and walked off but not before yelling over his shoulder, "Oh and Naruto, I am coming with you because if I stay here any longer I will kill you."

Naruto sighed. I guess that means it will be Kiba and me going. Naruto ran a hand through his unruly blonde hair before walking into the kitchen with Kiba. "Well if you're coming grab your coat."Naruto said before walking out the door a happy and bounding Kiba on his heels.

At Starbucks

Naruto and Kiba were currently sitting on a very big and comfy couch while they drank their beverages and waited for their 'guest'.

Kiba seemed glad to be out of the apartment, and Naruto couldn't help but smile at Kiba as he happily drank his white chocolate mocha frappacino.

"Geez Kiba you're acting like a child." Naruto sighed amusement lacing his words.

Kiba just glared at Naruto, he seemed to be doing that a lot lately, and huffed. "Sorry, but you see this 'friend' of mine kidnapped me and locked me his room for over a week and I'm excited to be able to breathe fresh air and not cleaning products and dust." Naruto sighed; Kiba really is just a kid.
"Ne Naruto, when will he be here? I thought you said he said he would be here in 30 minutes and that was 45 minuted ago."

Naruto was also thinking that, he was usually never late, not unless he had something important do. A few seconds later said person walked through the door, looking like he could burn down the place with just his glare.

Kiba chuckled next to him. "I see Gaara hasn't changed over the past 30 years" Naruto could only nod in agreement.

It didn't take long for Gaara to find them and walk over in a bored and pissed state. Naruto had the fleeting thought that his life was going to end, and painfully but he knew Gaara wouldn't, would he? Naruto kept his calm exterior as Gaara sat across from them.

"Good afternoon Naruto. What was the business you wanted with me? You said it was urgent." Gaara deep monotone voice held no emotion but Naruto was used to it, I mean who wouldn't? Naruto's known Garra for a century now, he had to be used to it.

"Hi Gaara, yes I have urgent business but would you like a drink?" as Naruto said this he took a sip from his and Gaara eyes warily.

"Fine, ill have whatever you're having, you usually have good taste with this stuff." Gaara said occupying himself with looking at Kiba who continued to sip at his drink happily. "But before you leave, mind telling me what's wrong with dog breath?" A heated glare was shot him form said boy.

Naruto just laughed, "well you see Kiba here, is a perv, like most vampires I know, and he decided to molest a girl-"

"I DID NOT TRY AND MOLEST HER!!"

"so I locked him in my apartment for a week and he wasn't allowed outside, so his happy to be able to breathe again he says." Naruto shrugged and Gaara just smirked slightly. With no more questions being asked Naruto walked over the counter and ordered a green tea frappacino, paid and walked back over to Gaara and Kiba who seemed to be having a glaring contest. These never seemed to get along, Naruto remembered the first time Naruto introduced him Kiba, he yelled obscenities for a while before storming out. At first Naruto didn't know what was wrong with Kiba but later found out that Kiba was just mad because he could see Naruto leave with Gaara and leave Kiba behind. It took a week worth of doing things for Kiba for him to believe Naruto.

Naruto heaved a sigh and sat down next to Kiba and across from Gaara. He decided that light talk would do for now until his drink came and then they could get down to the serious stuff.

"So Gaara, how are you and Neji doing?" Naruto knew of Neji's somewhat double life. He didn't know how he pulled it off actually.

Gaara just shrugged and smiled slightly. "Fine, things are normal, his busy a lot, and he seems to have become good friends with some other vampire slayer, but apparently from what Neji tells me his an ex-hunter and because of the work Neji does he has to drag him back into slaying again." Gaara didn't like Neji pretending to be a vampire slayer, for many reasons. Like a)Neji is a vampire, b)Gaara is a vampire, c)the vampires he 'kills' somehow stay alive and Gaara is always terrified of Neji being found put and killed.

Naruto shook his head in amazement. "I don't know how he can do that, be a vampire slayer whilst being a vampire himself, not to mention married to a vampire! I don't think I can do it, I think ill crack under the pressure." Naruto laughed quietly to himself. A few moments later a young waitress came up to us with the drink, Gaara merely tilted his head in thanks and looked at Naruto with judging eyes,

"It's green." Was he said and Naruto couldn't help but laugh out loud due to the look on Gaaras face.

"Of course it's green; it's a green tea frappacino! Just try some before you go giving it death glares Gaara!" Gaara took a hesitant sip before deciding it drinkable and continued on having it. Naruto simply sighed, and looked over at Kiba, who had finished his drink and was now looking bored and looking out the window.

"Kiba, you need to know this too ok? So pay attention!" Kiba immediately looked over at Naruto and saw the seriousness in his face and Kiba couldn't help but be interested. Naruto glanced over at Gaara and asked, "Gaara did you see the news today?" Gaara looked perplexed and shook his head. Naruto already knew Kiba hadn't watched the news, the dog boy wasn't one for the news and so Naruto told them what he had and heard on the news and his suspicions.

"I agree, it has to be a vampire, only they make those markings and leave no blood behind." Gaara agreed, looking a little unsettled. "I'm sure Neji already knows about this and is already working on figuring out who it is, so I'll get him to give us any information he may find and I will be doing the same and maybe we can figure this out together." Gaara continued on, making perfect sense, Gaara was always the smartest out of the three.

All three of them sat in silence, trying to come up with anything that might help figure this out. Naruto knew that he had no authority over this and he didn't have to find out who killed the two teens, but something inside of Naruto was telling him that he had to figure this out, he had to find the killer and Naruto always listened to his gut feelings.

"Have there been any new turnings?" Kiba asked, deep in thought. It was a rarity really, seeing Kiba actually thinking.

Naruto shook his head, "I would have been informed if there were, but I haven't gotten anything. There hasn't been any new turning for the past two years." Kiba seemed to perk at that.

"Two years? That's a long time to not make any new vampires." He mutters under his breath. And Naruto felt the same way. He found it odd that there hadn't been any new turnings, there was always new turnings.

"When was the last time a vampire killed humans on the street?" Gaara asked and Naruto had to move in to hear him.

Naruto racked his brain and answered, "10 years, why?"

"Isn't that also an abnormally long time to not have a vampire go on a blood rampage?" Naruto nodded to what Gaara was saying, but they still didn't know who was this and why!

"Do you think maybe this is all planned?" Kiba whispered, while glancing around to make sure no one was eavesdropping.

"That's a little farfetched isn't it Kiba?" Naruto whispered back, "we shouldn't jump to conclusions, especially ones like that."

"Naruto, we have to accept everything we hear no matter how farfetched it may sound, anything is possible at the moment. And Kiba may had a point, if this is all planned out all we have to do is find out who planned it." Damn Gaara and your stupid logic! Naruto just grumbled under his breath and made the step of accepting that maybe all this was planned.

"So then if it was planned who would do something like this?" Naruto asked confusion and irritation evident in his tone. He knew of most occurrences in the vampire world and it worried him somewhat when he didn't know something this important.

A few more moments passed where they thought over everything that might have made this occur. So far they were getting nowhere, and Naruto wouldn't be surprised that by the time they did find something the store will be closed.

Truthfully Gaara didn't know what to make of this. Why would a vampire kill people for no reason? Especially innocent people. Gaara didn't really associate himself with the vampire world, he stuck to himself and the only reason he knew Neji was because of Naruto and the only reason why he knew Naruto was because of the Great War over a century ago, so Gaara didn't know what to make of it.

Kiba was getting annoyed and fast, he hated having something that he couldn't figure out. He thought back to a few months ago and tried to see if he came up with anything, maybe he overheard something while in a club or discussed something but nothing came up. Kiba felt like whacking his head on the table in front to get some answers but he knew that all that would bring was a headache.

Naruto knew this wasn't going to be easy, he knew this was going to take painstakingly long but some small part of him hoped that it would work out like the movies, where the detective sits and thinks and then comes up with the suspect. But sadly this is reality and things didn't happen that smoothly.

With an irritated sigh Naruto leaned back against his chair and passed his hand through his hair out of habit when he was stressed or anxious. Gaara leaned back in his chair too, thinking over in his head of all the things he might have seen but no matter how much he thought nothing came up and it was starting to infuriate him.

By the time all three left the coffee shop they all sported headaches and were each ion a bad mood. Naruto and Kiba walked with Gaara to his car, a black Porsche, and watched as Gaara slid into the car.

Gaara wound down the windows and said, "I'll see of Neji had come up with anything, he was going out somewhere today so I'm pretty positive he went out to see if he could come up with anything. I'll call you when I get something out of him." Gaara said goodbye and sped off as Naruto and Kiba made their way to their hotel.

They walked at a leisurely pace, neither of them wanting to walk at a fast pace. Naruto willed his mind to be empty, if he wanted to find out something the best thing to do was not chase after it Kiba was only thinking about sleep, honestly he had never had a day where he had to think so much or so hard.

The hotel wasn't far from where they were so it only took them ten minutes to arrive at the hotel. Upon entering their room Kiba made a bee line for his bed and Naruto knew that was the last he would see of him for the night. Naruto wanted to go to bed too, but sleep evaded him so Naruto knew that going to bed would be a waste of time and effort. So with little else to do he grabbed his book from his room and lay on the big couch that adorned the lounge room. Finding his place in the book Naruto continued to read and not soon after he had lost himself in it, the book was his favourite, it was really the only book he read and no matter how many times he read it, he never got sick of it.

Naruto lost track of time and when he glanced at the clock and he saw it 4:15am Naruto cursed under his breath, he hated going a night without sleep.

Just as Naruto was about to go to bed and get what little bit of sleep he could get, an ear-splitting scream tore its way out of the night and in a blink Naruto was already heading towards the source of the noise.

A block away Naruto came upon the sight of a girl around 20, pushed up against a wall, a male body in front of her, and Naruto didn't need to see to know he was drinking her blood. The other male obviously sensed Naruto, he stepped back letting the female collapse to the floor in a heap. A disgusted growl tore its way out of Naruto as he stared at the back of the man in front of him.

"Naruto, it's been a long. I'll say almost too long." Naruto froze, his eyes widened. That voice, that sinister, silky voice, Naruto knew that voice, knew it more than he would have liked. But this can't be, I thought he was dead? He was supposed to have died over 200 years ago! Why is here now?

--

Sasuke collapsed on his bed, dead exhausted. It felt like Neji had dragged him half way around the world; his legs have never felt so sore. With a heavy sigh Sasuke pulled off his top and welcomed the cool feeling on his heated skin. He draped an arm over his eyes and thought about the day he had wasted. Yes wasted, because they found out nothing! No new clues or leads or anything. The most they did was agree it was a vampire that committed the murders but that was it. Sasuke really wanted to punch at that moment. Sasuke resisted the urge though, barely.

Sasuke lay there on the bed, slowly letting the exhaustion over take his body and Sasuke welcomed wholeheartedly.

Next Morning

Sasuke's eyes snapped open, his breath fast and heavy as he struggled to forget his dream. He hadn't had that dream in years, so why was he having them again? Sasuke refused to think of it as omen or some crazy thing like that. He ran a hand through his hair and sighed, the feeling of something big to come though was inescapable and that unnerved Sasuke somewhat.

He didn't know what to expect of the future anymore but Sasuke knew some things were going to change for the worse and for the better.
