(Forest of Death...)
Kai's blood red eye opened and he groaned slightly in pain before grasping his head... "Is it ready? Is it ready to be unleashed?" Came an angry voice in his head then Kai suddenly screamed, turning onto his back he looked around to see that he was in a clearing and he had blood over his face. 'Did I feed again?' He questioned of himself then looked around to see signs of a struggle, and then numerous splattering of blood all over. But, if he had fed in a blind rage again, then where were the bodies now? "Sir our tests are still incomplete... We need more time to study the results before..." Kai then heard in his mind and grasped his head in his hands tightly.
"Sir! He's out of control! Project D.U.S.K is out of control!" Kai heard as his body was surrounded by the Darkness within the forest, the snakeheads snapping angrily in all directions. "Stop it! No! Wake up, Dusk wake up!" He heard the voice of a woman call out to him as he fell to his side whimpering and twitching rapidly. "We can't stop it! It's too strong! THE DARKNESS WILL DEVOUR US ALL!" Someone screamed loudly and Kai felt his single eye dilate as then he heard another voice. "The Screams of the Dying... The Cries of the Damned... Always... The Screams of the Dying... The Cries of the Damned..." The voice was old and Kai felt it was familiar somehow but couldn't place it.
"IT'S NOT POSSIBLE! How did it come to this you blasted fool? WHAT THE HELL HAVE YOU DONE?" A demanding voice sounded through the young mans mind as he tried to block out the voice's but soon his pupil dilated... "The blood... It's the cause of this... He's its carrier... He is the Blood Plague..." Came a slow, deathly voice and Kai gritted his teeth... However a deep, demonic voice sounded, one that sounded like two different people speaking at once sounded through his mind...
"This... What am I? Am I me? Or am I this D.U.S.K. they keep talking about... Why..." The voice wondered in a confused tone while Kai's teeth gritted, his primary Canine teeth beginning to lengthen as he did, his fingers and bones all stretching and growing also. "Who are you?" The boy then heard as his skin began to shift, changing its texture as he grew in height and pieces of his skin ripped open to reveal the muscles beneath them. "My names Mel, who are you? Are you a Demon?" Kai heard the familiar voice and opened his right eye, only for a left eye to appear in his left socket, glowing a deep crimson without a pupil... "I have no name... And I know not if I am one of these... "Demons" you speak of... However... They call me... Dusk..." He heard the voice again; its tone changing constantly as the owner spoke, and the voice was familiar to the boy, too familiar...
"Pathetic Weak MAGGOTS!" He then heard, the demonic, hissing voice was shifting in and out of spectrum, sounding like numerous snakes hissing at once, or thousands of demented cries... "These worthless meat sacks do not interest me..." The voice then said and Kai began to roll around on the ground, crying out as his own Serpent summons began to flail wildly, morphing and changing into something else entirely as they did. "Bring me strength, feed my power..." The voice said once more while Kai began to bash his head into the ground, soon the gauntlets on his arms became engulfed in flames, which then traveled all over his body, casting no light as it even encased his Summon...
"LET DUSK AND DARKNESS LIVE ONCE MORE!!"

(Hokage Tower…)
Sarutobi suddenly shuddered as a chill went down his spine. Standing the aging Hokage walked over to his window and looked out at the city, everything seemed to be dimming… But it was nowhere close to nighttime… "Something foul is in the wind…" He says to himself quietly then turns around at the sound of his door opening to see the strange girl Mel with wide eyes while breathing heavily.
"L-lord Hokage… Where is Kai?" The girl asks of the aging Hokage who looks at he for a few moments then answers.
"He's in the Forest of Death for the second half of the Chunin exams." The man tells the girl simply making her look at him with wide eyes and somehow pale features even though her skin is black as pitch. "Why is there something he forgot or needs?" The Hokage questions and Mel begins to shake and shudder all at the same time.
"L-lord Hokage… Has Hojo ever told you what Kai eats?" She questioned and the Hokage raised an eyebrow why would something like that be important?
"No, is there any reason I should know?" The old man asked and Mel nodded her head. "Well tell me why it's so important Mel…" The old man said with an exasperated tone and Mel gulped while rubbing her arms.
"Living Flesh and fresh blood…" The girl said softly and the Hokage's eye's widened in shock, Kai was alone with his teammates for a month yet they said he never once ate… That meant… "Unfortunately Kai starves himself all the time, I really did try to get him to eat something, even a fish cat or dog would have been enough… But… I think Kai might have just had fresh human…" The girl said and the Hokage's eye's widened yet again.
"H-how can you tell Mel?" He questioned and Mel gulped.
"Kai's… Not normal… He and I have been friends since we were five… I've always known when something was wrong with him… Besides… It feels like someone recently walked over my grave." Mel said and the Hokage was about to call for the AnBu only for Mel to rush forward and place her hand on his mouth. "Hokage-Sama, Kai isn't really dangerous, he's just starved himself for too long… Besides sending AnBu after him isn't the smartest thing to do at the moment…" Mel explained and the Hokage looked like he wanted an explanation. "When Kai ingests new DNA his own adapts to it, or in this case… he will evolve and mutate into a mush stronger, faster, Hunter…" The girl said darkly making the Hokage's eye's widened to incredible length…

(Forest of Death…)
Naruto suddenly stopped when he felt a strange sense of dread pass through him and his two companions stopped with him. "Am I the only one who felt like someone just walked over his or her grave?" Naruto questioned and Sasuke looked around with a frown, Ino doing likewise. "I'll take that as a no." Naruto said then looked around and narrowed his eyes. Something was moaning, and Naruto quickly unsheathed Red Death, a frown on his face while Sasuke did the same for Chokatou...
"I've got a bad feeling..." Sasuke said silently as the three then backed up to one another looking around warily. Then the group saw something heading out of the tree's...
"Hey, isn't that one of those Sound Ninja?" Ino questioned as she saw the girl lumber out of the forest and suddenly shivered, he eye's then widened when she saw the massive hole in her chest and the side of her neck. "Wh-what the hell?" She questioned then saw the two other Nin on her team as they slowly lumbered towards them. It was then they lifted their heads and Naruto's eye's widened seeing theirs. Crystal blue and looking almost like they were either blind or dead, their teeth were a strange yellowish color, with most of them looking crooked and sharp. The creatures that had once been the Sound Nin lumbered towards them slowly, before then lunging forward sluggishly, while flailing their sharp nails towards the three.
Sasuke simply kicked Dosu in the face while Naruto elbowed Zaku, Ino grabbed one of Kin's arms and tossed her into a tree. The three laid out warriors didn't stay down however, as they slowly started to get up, or crawl towards the three Nin once more. Sasuke looked to Naruto, and both boys nodded to one another. Sasuke lunged forward with a roundhouse kick to Zaku's chest, sending him back into the recovering Kin, and knocking them both down. While Ino then clasped her hands together and threw a "Poison Cloud" attack at Dosu. The Otonin walked straight through the Acidic cloud continuing towards Ino, even as both his skin and clothes began to melt away...
"What the FUCK?" Ino demanded as Dosu continued forward towards her and her two teammates just gawked at the Nin...
"That's not normal..." Naruto said mostly to himself then pointed his sword at Kin. "Pierce..." He said simply and a bolt of lightning hit the girls left kneecap, only for her to continue to get up, growling and snarling... "This... Could be a problem..." Naruto then said and grasped Red Death with both hands while Sasuke narrowed his eyes. Ino nodded her head in agreement with the boy's as she took out a Kunai, only for Dosu to fall down, now a mere puddle of goop... "Well at least we know they're not immortal... To an extent..." The Silver haired young man said to the other two, who were more concerned with Zaku, who was lumbering towards them with his mouth covered in drool.
Sasuke frowned and formed his left hand into its monster form before then pointing it towards the Otonin. The hand then shot out numerous spikes towards the beast, ripping him apart and tearing his head off as well as other limbs. "They stay down when you manage to do enough damage it seems..." Sasuke said and Naruto would have attacked Kin himself, had not black and red flames then engulfed Kin burning her away nearly instantly. Naruto quickly looked around after seeing the flames, recognizing Kai's gauntlets handiwork...
"Kai's around here..." He said silently, then looked into the trees, and saw a PAIR of glowing red eye's sink into the darkness... Kai only had one eye… "What the hell..." He muttered before rushing after the glowing crimson eye's with a frown on his face. Sasuke cursed before noticing something on Zaku, he quickly grabbed a scroll from him then went rushing after the silver haired boy. Ino was following closely after both of them as they soon took to the tree's, following the creature as it leaped from tree to tree. Soon Naruto had managed to nearly catch the boy, but he leaped down into the darkness bellow, Naruto soon following after him.
The group soon managed to corner who they hoped was Kai, only to see the figure turn and glare at them with that same pair of glowing red eyes. "Kai stop running, we want to help you." Naruto said and then heard a bitter sounding chuckle come from the other teen, though it was much deeper than he remembered Kai's voice being.
"Nothing can help me now, Naruto…" Came Kai's voice before walking into the light, Ino gasping and covering her mouth while Sasuke and Naruto looked on in shock. Kai only had his pants, sandals, and the wrappings over his toes, feet, and shins, the two red belts he always wore around his waist in an X shape, as well as his new gauntlets… But now Kai was a good foot taller, with ripped and torn skin all over his body, revealing muscle tissue, his spiky hair was now LITERALLY spikes and his fingers were clearly longer judging from the chains on Kai's gauntlets now stretched to their absolute Limits.
But what was most horrifying was that Kai now had two massive tendrils curling from his collar around his shoulders and down his back, his teeth were all vicious sharp fangs, his canines being the most prominent while small spikes now grew from his shoulders to point upwards and the sewn together skin of his face was now clearly visible, as was the fact that a glowing red orb now inhabited his left eye socket… And a massive scar on his torso curled from the left side of his waist, all the way up to his right shoulder, splitting open at his chest to show his slowly beating heart…
"I'm far to lost to ever be saved Naruto… To ever… Be a human again…"

(??…)
Hojo sat in the ROOT headquarters with his usual smirk, glancing at his clock he soon got up and picked up a suitcase. He then walked out of his office and down one of the many halls of the building, smirking to himself as he did; he then pulled something from his coat. It was a glass vial filled with a blue solution, he waited a few moments before dropping it into an air vent and making haste to get out of the place, bumping into someone on his way out he paid him no mind. He stalked to the way out at the mansion and boarded the trolley before then grinning and putting it on high-speed… By now Orochimaru's men would be at the Hospital entrance, sealing it off so that nothing would get in… Or in this case… Out…
"Hm hm hm hm hm hm… Orochimaru… Such a cunning snake…" Hojo said to himself as he then pulled open his suitcase to show files of ROOTS activities, minus his own involvement of course, and then flipped some pages to the "T-Virus" section. "Orochimaru wants these for himself…" He murmered while moving the files into his coat then searching and pulled out the "Hunter", "Licker", and "Nemesis" files and placed them into his coat. Hojo grinned to himself as soon the trolley stopped, and the black haired man found himself in the mansions substation… It was time to go speak with the Hokage…

(Forest of Death…)
"So… What exactly happened to you?" Naruto asked while he, Ino, and Sasuke sat across from Kai, who was munching on one of the Sound Nin's severed limbs… That was scarier than his face any day of the week…
"When I got blown away, I landed in a heap against a tree… These sound Nin found me… Unfortunately for them at least…" Kai explained while taking another bite out of Kin's, Naruto was fairly sure it was hers at least, leg. "When I woke up, I was starving, I eat living flesh… they were the closest source of food…" Kai finished while spitting a bone out of his mouth and taking another bite out of the leg while Ino shivered in disgust… And yet strangely she kind of wanted a bite herself…
"Then why were they still moving?" Naruto asked and Sasuke nodded while like Ino, found himself starting to get hungry at the sight of all the blood coming from Kin's leg…
"When I bite someone… A disease is transferred with my saliva… When I scratch a person a sort of toxin is released… Hojo called it a "T-Virus" for some reason… It makes the body stay alive after death like me… But unlike them I retain my mind though memories fade easily… But I can think unlike those poor undead bastards." Kai replied and Naruto nodded his head slowly to the boy while noting Sasuke and Ino's bloodlust. 'Kyuubi… What the hell is going on with them?' Naruto questioned of Kyuubi with narrowed eyes and heard the fox grumble something in his head about needing more sleep.
"It looks like their going to be reaching maturity soon. Bloodlust should be common among those descended from you, given it's based off of me at least… But don't worry, besides Kai I think they should be able to keep control of it…" Kyuubi explained then yawned before going back to sleep while Naruto couldn't help but frown as he watched Kai eat Kin's leg…
"So what happened to the way you look?" Naruto then questioned and Kai looked up to the silver haired Genin and let out a sigh.
"When I devour fresh Human DNA I mutate… Obviously not into anything pretty…" Kai grumbled while then munching on Kin's leg once more and Naruto narrowed his eye's, but it was Ino who asked the question.
"Kai, you said that a bite or scratch would make people into those disgusting undead creatures… Right?" Ino asked and Kai nodded his head. "Then what about us? What if you accidentally scratched one of us or something?" She asked and Kai rolled his eyes.
"People who've had the Blood Plague aren't affected by the T-Virus… Not sure why, Hojo never figured it out…" Kai said making Ino sigh in relief, though he himself looked down and continued eating, it was a lie after all, he knew why they weren't affected by the T-Virus… Because he was the source of both the Blood Plague and the T-Virus… He and Naruto were the reason for the "Vampires" that now walked among the humans of Konoha…
"We should head off to the Tower… I think Kai should get checked out by a medical Nin." Naruto then said and received nods from his team, save Kai who stayed silent while eating his leg. Looking around Kai knew something bad was going to happen soon, he just couldn't tell what it was. "Kai, stop eating lets go." Naruto then ordered as he and the other's got up, Kai soon following and running with them as they all headed towards the Tower… Things were just going to get worse for them in the coming days Kai could just feel it.

(??)
"Is it done?" Orochimaru questioned of Hojo who nodded his head while pulling the files on the T-Virus from his coat and handing them to the Snake Sannin who chuckled in his throat. "Good… Have Kabuto help you manufacture this drug… I want to run some tests with it… Also figure out a way to capture Kai, and that Mel Girl. Both were more radically affected by the Blood Plague than any of the others." Orochimaru ordered and Hojo gave a stiff boy then walked away from the snake, grinning to himself as he did.
"What a fool…" He whispered while fingering a sample of Blood. "I wonder if he realizes who is in control here?" The man wondered to himself while walking down the hall, laughing in his throat as he soon realized that not only was Orochimaru going to lose his kingdom at this rate, but his humanity as well… "As shall I, I shall become perfection, beyond mortality and those children…" The man said then laughed to himself darkly…

Special (Blood) Related Powers...
1: Blood Adaption: The ability to adapt any blood related trait of others to oneself, by drinking their blood. Basically Kekkei-Genkai can be copied with this ability.
2: Blood Pulse: The ability to form real solid weapons from blood. Something like the Dead Bone Pulse the Kaguya clan had only with blood instead of bone.
3: Evils Call: A classic Vampire power, The ability to control minds through Eye contact. Prolonged use induces an Empathic Link between the one using it and the victim.
4: Transformation: A classic Vampire power, The ability to change shapes and forms.
5: Succubus Kiss: Invoke feelings of complete devotion threw lip contact, Not necessarily lip on lip, a kiss on the cheek or hand also works. As a side note, no Vampires are effected by Succubus Kiss, only humans or some animals.
6: Poison Touch: The ability to inject a natural Poison into someone via touch or bite. Poisons effects varies based on what the Vampire wants.
7: Siren Song: The ability to call to the mind of others, has no real correlation to any actual song. However, actually singing can induce varying effects, including hypnosis...
8: Blood Sight: The ability to see farther than normal, and even see concealed enemies via their blood and heat signature. Ingestion of friends blood allows the user to discern them from enemies. Friends are yellow in color to the vampire, while white is anyone else. (Thanks Sir MIDNIGHT The DarkSlayer! I like the idea...)
9: Zombie/Ghoul Creation: Biting someone has the adverse affect of creating a living dead creature. They are stronger than normal, but have almost no intelligence or reasoning ability. The only thing they understand is the most basic of instincts, the basest need, The Need to FEED!!
10: Shadow Walking: The ability to completely blend in with the shadows around you.
11: Dark Displacement: The ability to appear and disappear at will to other places with only their power and mind. As a side ability, they can also seemingly store objects into the darkness itself, it is unknown how they do this but it seems that the open a "Pocket Dimension" that holds the items for them. (Edited, Thanks Crimsonkyuubi for the idea...)
12: Deaths Hand: This ability allows a vampire to simply kill more easily. The person it is used on is crushed from the inside by their own blood reversing it's flow and then expanding outward destroying the heart, then it continues to expand causing the body to explode also.
13: Blood Death: The ability to reform the user's body from their own blood if they should ever suffer a killing strike which renders the bodies regeneration unusable. While in "liquid" mode the user is nearly invulnerable unless you can destroy every last Cell in one shot and if even one survives the Vampire would seek out more by any means - like entering another's body through holes in the skin killing them by blowing up the body and reforming from the spilled blood. Another use is becoming "Half-Liquid" by retaining some of their body which allows them to use weapons while remaining invulnerable. (ConnectFire611 thanks for the idea. I've altered it just slightly...)
14: Blood Creation/Regeneration: Allows the user to turn those into themselves or with similar abilities as well as restore the health and condition of those that don't have the ability to do so. In the case of the dead and undead the drinking of the user's blood restores the decayed cells to return the drinker into a mindless being that only looks human or if the user wants the undead becomes capable of thought but each needs to eat the flesh of others or more blood of the user to remain as what is called a Flesh Zombie. (Thanks once more ConnectFire611 your on a role with these!.)
If anyone wants to make a suggestion for a power not mentioned here I don't mind...
