DISCLAIMER:

.

I renounce being the story writer of NARUTO. Woah. That almost sounds as if I am giving up ownership- which technically I am not since it didn't belong to me to begin with. I have nothing to let go. Well anyway, the characters aren't mine. The story as a whole is mine as well as some of the this and that's-although it was basically influenced by a reincarnation book whose title I can no longer remember. Other than that, CLAMP also have a lot to do with the over- all content- TSUBASA reservoir chronicles, XXXholic, RG-Veda and Wish to be particular.

Chapter9

(Pure blood)

.

Previously:

I guess I was brooding again. I looked around and saw that the sky had already darkened and stars had already started to appear. I lost myself again. I looked down and gazed at my brothers name on that old stone and sighed…

"I miss the both of you…"

"And they both miss you too."

I started at that.

I narrowed my eyes as I took note that I failed to sense this person. He had a strange aura… powerful and raw. Scowling, I noticed that were the same… but this one is younger than me…

…someone who's younger and yet powerful enough to hide from me…

Slowly I turned and what I saw took me by surprise.

Crimson filled my vision and I knew my eyes widened

.

…

.

'…a pure blood…'

.

That was all that lingered within his mind. He was currently faced by a boy who's seemingly in his early 20's. He had dark crimson red hair an ever ivory pale skin accentuated by his glimmering silvery red eyes. It was a weird yet stunning*obviously* visage.

He gave the person a brief nod and the other simply smiled at his attitude since normally people got on their knees at the sight of a pure blood. However… he is an Uchiha. They may not be purely vampiric but their blood and heritage is also ancient…

They are the mysteries of the vampiric world.

A clan of vampires of high caliber and breeding that came from humans.

His musings were interrupted when the kid continued his trek to near him. His scowl remained in place but the person simply ignored him. When he was near enough he noticed the slight smile the other had on his face as he gazed at his brother's name.

"Is this person your family? A brother perhaps?"

He took note of the silent caress on the others voice and his apprehensive senses calmed a bit.

"Yeah."

The other turned to him with a full smile and he bulked in a bit. "Oh you so have a brother complex."

That annoyed him to no end and the scowl returned full force. That made the other even more amused that he laughed. "'both of you…' What did you mean by that grouchy? I only see one grave."

Pure blooded or not this person is annoying him. "That is none of your business."

"Oh…sorry for that then." Was the offhanded reply that made him ease up a bit. Who knows why… "…but you know grouchy, whoever they are I don't think they'd be perfectly happy that you're still hanging on to them even after all the centuries."

He felt his eyes flash crimson at that. This person… this… "Don't you dare… dare talk to me like that." He snarled at the unfazed man. "You do not understand a THING about me so don't you dare."

Silvery red eyes shone with sadness at his reaction and he just had to struggle to keep his calm.

"I'm sorry." was the whispered words that left the young mans lips and he nodded his acceptance.

"I guess I really can't say much… I think I'm too young and happy at the moment to understand."

"Yes you are." Was his 'slightly snappy reply that the glee returned to the others eyes.

"But I still believe what I told you before."

"I guess your words are indeed accurate."

"However I think I'll be like you If I loose those I cherish as well."

"Hn."

The other laughed at his reply and he sent him a glare. That made the younger vampire laugh out more that in the end he just had to sigh in defeat.

"What brought someone like you here? A pure blood can't have just decided to go to random graves…"

The child of crimson and reds turned to him with an alluring smile and whispered in the wind

.

.

.

"Fate."

.

He stilled at that but even before he could ask more the other slowly vanished as he was engulfed in flames.

"Fate is seldom kind…but at times she can be giving."

.

…

.

Strong arms came up from behind him and he just had to smile.

"As playful as ever young one…" was the low voice the caressed his senses that he just had to close his eyes. "You just can't help but tease my beloved otouto now could you?"

He laughed at that.

"What are you talking about dear sadistic one. You are the one that had led his 'beloved otouto' to believe that his dear aniki is dead."

The arms around him tightened a bit and just had to sigh. He backed up fully on that cold body as he lifted his hands to the others nape. He pulled him down for a light kiss before nuzzling the others neck. "It's not yet too late."

"I never wanted him to see me like this. I saw it in him before… he looked at me with great sadness. He was the only one in that clan… the only one other than Okaasan who saw my fears and my pain. I didn't want him to see that my fears were realized. It would be too much.I visited him once… maybe 10 years after my change…After that I didn't even expect to see him as 'him' again. I was expecting someone who was my brother and yet not him."

"Waiting for a reincarnation then, saiai?"

"Yes."

"When you visited him…how was he?"

"He was happy. He was muttering about stupid dobe's and their unhealthy addiction to ramen."The elder one chuckled a bit that just had to smile. "He was ranting lowly to himself with a smile tugging on his lips. His eyes didn't hold much of the haunted look he used to have and I just knew he was finally happy. He found someone for himself. I didn't stick around for long to see who it was but… I know Otouto won't choose just about anyone."

"He lost that someone, Itachi."

He felt his lover stiffen at that. "And so it would seem… My foolish little brother hasn't changed a bit."

"Still foolish and naïve, saiai?"

"Yes."

"How so?"

He was roughly turned around so as he was faced by the blazing crimson that was now his lover's eyes.

"Once you found the one you know is irreplaceable…never let him go…"

He smiled as he was pulled forth for a kiss.

Off all the things he loved about this person…

It was the way he kissed. Shallow? NO.

He fisted his hands upon long raven hair as he moaned for him.

This persons kisses were his. Only his and never anybody else's. His kisses were possessive and yet passionate… no matter how simple he would always feel it.

A promise.

A promise that no matter what happens… he'll never let him go… he will always have someone to go back to and someone will always be waiting.

Forever

He pulled away as he rested their foreheads together.

Maybe that was why Itachi called his otouto foolish…

"You may never meet again for the longest of times…or you could have been mistaken…"

He wished for the younger Uchiha's sake that…

"…and he wasn't yours to begin with."

…he didn't make such a grievous mistake.

.

…

And so ends this chapter. I have just noticed that… wow… I'm already at the 9th chapter and things are still at the start. But as they say… once something starts, the nearer it comes to it's end. So yeah…

I have just noticed-nah- I knew it even before but I now have just given it a thought that… I have the habit of not mentioning the names… but it is quite obvious right? If there are any confusing things you guys wish to inquire, just ask. I am quite accommodating when it comes to questions, inquiries and 'sound' criticism. I love em!

How about reviews then? Come on… pity the story and the author and review. Please? It really isn't difficult and I do understand that not everyone's primary language is English(it isn't mine either). I simply wish to know the opinion of my readers… at least know who read my story or if there is still sense in me trying so hard to update amidst the horror which is my life when nobody actually cares if I update or not.

---that turned out... well anyway...

Ja ne!~
