Immortal Diaries

Pilot

AN: Hello all. As you can see I have written another new story. This is part of a challenge I have taken upon myself. I have noticed lately that there are a lot of immortal Naruto stories out there and I figured I'd try my hand. However this is going to be part of a series of stories that could actually be infinite in number. I decided to do this one first as it was inspired by Uzumaki Vampire Diaries by Shawn123. I liked a lot of what he did but there were some places where I thought I could change things up.

I will be taking idea's for future stories that involve this particular premise. I will not be taking idea's for pairings however as the pairings have basically already been decided. What I also won't do is anything Harry Potter related as I'm not a fan, I have nothing against it but I never got into it. I also will not do any yaoi so please keep those suggestions to yourselves. That said I now present to you all the first in the Immortal series.

Start Now:

8985 years, that is how long it has been since the deal was struck and I can still remember it as if it were yesterday. At that point I was a not quite average teenager with Kage-level abilities and a bijuu stuck in my gut. I had been a shinobi for three years and done everything I had dreamed off from rescuing princesses and saving entire countries, things that generally only happened in dreams. At sixteen I was among the strongest shinobi in my village of Konohagakure, more out of need than what the elders wanted. Things were dark for the world at large was at war the five great villages Konoha, Kumo, Kiri, Suna and Iwa along with the samurai run Tetsu no Kuni against a mercenary group by the name of Akatsuki, led by Uchiha Obito. Backed by Yakushi Kabuto they proceeded to use the Kuchiyose: Edo Tensei to summon forth the dead in order to do battle. That however had only been a precursor to something much more scary the revival of the Jubi, or rather the Shinju as I've come to know it as.

The Shinju is a God with oddly enough the natural form of a tree. That of course wasn't a complete revival but enough of one for Obito who was controlling it to wreak havoc upon their forces. Still they had somehow managed to hold on, until the real perpetrator behind things had been revived and revealed, Uchiha Madara the devil himself. At the time I had thought with my mastery of Senjutsu and Kurama's chakra that I was among the strongest in the world, even without voicing such thoughts. Madara however was on an entirely different level, and proved it by single handedly leashing all nine of the tailed beast and in the midst of doing so yanked the chakra right out of me along with the only other remaining Jinchuriki at the time Kirabi.

It was as I was lying there dying that I locked eyes with the Shinju and our minds linked. With that link it knew what Madara had planned and we struck a deal, it would spare our lives and in return we would become its guards. Also instead of simply stripping humans of chakra and in effect killing of the entire race, humans would gradually lose the ability to harness it, until only the amount needed to live remained within them. The deal was struck and he and the other eight former Jinchuriki, seven of which had been dead and brought back via Edo Tensei had surged back to live with a vengeance. In his resurgence he had awoken with something extra, a gift from the Shinju, the fabled and most powerful of doujutsu, the Rinnegan.

The clash between himself and Madara had been epic and while Madara truly was far more skilled than he had been he had managed to pull out on top. After that things went back to normal someone, the Alliance dissolved and a few of the Kage stepped down. Tsunade had wasted no time in doing so and he had soon found himself crowned as the Rokudaime Hokage. At seventeen he and Hinata married and Hinata would give birth to six children over the years. Due to a prior promise between himself and priestess Shion, she also gave birth to his children twin girls, one of which succeeded her as priestess. Things were peaceful they grew older and watched their children grow up in a relatively peaceful world.

As a wedding gift the Shinju had made it so that Hinata would share his lifespan, and as such the two of them died together in their sleep at 150 years old. That however is when things really started he had awoken within a separate realm in which the Shinju resided kept hidden by fuinjutsu alongside Hinata, as well as his fellow Jinchuriki and their significant others. Here the Shinju revealed the true nature of the deal that had been struck, it had changed us so that we were no longer human and had merged us with our bijuu. Our spouses had even been given a form to match our own, and Hinata looks quite cute as a Kitsune with her eight tails, but I digress. The Shinju changed us however it allowed us to travel freely between both the living world and the afterlife.

While many of the others left to travel the world Hinata and I were content in the afterlife with our friends and watching over our children until the time they joined us watching as our family grew larger as time passed. Eventually of course I got bored and curiosity leading me I ventured out into the living world. Over time I would meet many interesting people, many women and have several more children, thankfully Hinata was open to sharing. In time I had lived several lives, most notably I was a samurai, an assassin, a pirate, I've even been a wandering medic. Whatever the case the world has changed and evolved and people have long since forgotten the era of shinobi and for the most part lost the ability to produce or use chakra.

In the year 1838 I met a woman by the name of Mary, at the time I'd been posing as an orphan a five year old whose parents had died. Mary had been kind and I felt a connection to her, she invited me into her home and she and her husband Giuseppe Salvatore adopted me. From that point I was Naruto Salvatore, their son Damon and I got along pretty much instantly and three years later I was presented with another brother Stefan. I honestly don't see how that happened as Mary was kind, compassionate, caring, nurturing, though unfortunately very vulnerable and physically fragile and Giuseppe was her complete opposite and in all actuality an asshole of epic proportions. When I was in his 'twenties' I left to 'travel' when in truth I was going to catch up with Hinata and the rest of my family along with several of the women I'd met and become enamored with around that time.

When I returned it was to learn that my brothers had been killed and Giuseppe himself had been the one to do the deed. When told the news I needed no explanation and didn't listen for one, I had come to care deeply for my brothers and I struck quickly. Alone in his office I had not bothered holding back and before he could react I had cut a gash directly across his neck with wind chakra leaving him there to choke and die. It was as I was leaving that I was contacted by an someone very close to me, a witch by the name of Emily. She informed me that Damon and Stefan had been turned into vampires and that at that point were in transition. I had also learned other news from her and knowing my brothers were safe speedily went to check on other matters only to return empty handed. When I returned and met up with them I gave them a breakdown of my true origins, and since then have not seen the two of them together in the same place except on rare occasions.

I myself went back to the afterlife to spend time with Hinata as I knew I would be contacted if I was needed. In 1987 I returned to pay my respects at Mary's grave though then he had been going under the alias of Minato Namikaze as a nod to his father. I spent a few years there and left again not long after, now here it is 2009 and I'm back in this small town that keeps calling to me by the name of Mystic Falls, Virginia. – From the journal of Namikaze Naruto

'I shouldn't have come home. I know the risk, but I have no choice. I have to know her.' Thought a young pale skinned youth before leaping off the roof of a large house and landing easily on his feet in a crouch.

Elsewhere a young woman was writing in her Diary a ritual she had for as long as she could remember as a prelude to the beginning of her day. Her name is Elena Gilbert she is 17 and quite beautiful with an oval face, light olive complexion, almond-shaped brown eyes, and smooth, long, straight dark brown hair. She stood at 5'7 and she has a slim, slightly athletic physique. For her today would be different, because it had to, she'd smile and be believable; her smile would say I'm okay and thank you. She would no longer be the sad little girl who lost her parents, today she would start fresh and be someone new. With those thoughts in mind she left the sanctity of her bedroom and headed downstairs and into the kitchen where she found her aunt staring into the refrigerator. Her aunt at age 29 is a beautiful woman with a pale complexion, hazel eyes and medium length blonde hair she stood at a height of 5' 6", and she has a slim, slightly athletic physique.

"Toast, I can make toast."

"It's all about the coffee, Aunt Jenna"

"Is there coffee?" came a new voice.

This was a young man around 15 years old with dark short cut but spiky brown hair and eyes, though tall for his age, nearly 6' in height he had a lean build. His name is Jeremy Gilbert, Elena's younger brother.

"First day of school and I am entirely unprepared." Said Jenna closing the refrigerator. "Lunch money?" questioned the woman turning to face her niece and nephew.

Not long later found Elena riding along in the passenger seat of her friends car, a blue 2007 Prius. Her name is Bonnie Bennett, she is a beautiful and petite African American young woman with olive green eyes, a heart-shaped face and black hair and like Elena she was 17.

"So grams is telling me I'm psychic. Our ancestors were from Salem, witches and all that, I know, crazy, but she's going on and on about it, and I'm like, put this woman in a home already! But then I started thinking, I predicted Obama and I predicted Heath Ledger, and I still think Florida will break off and turn into little resort islands. . .Elena! Back in the car." Exclaimed the girl cutting herself of upon seeing her friend zoned out.

"I did it again, didn't I?" questioned Elena "I-I'm sorry, you were telling me that…"

"Apparently I'm psychic now." Said Bonnie.

"Okay then predict something about me." Said Elena

However before Bonnie could say anything a bird had slammed into the windshield scaring both girls and causing Bonnie to immediately hit the brakes bring the car to a sliding stop

"What was that? Oh my god; Elena are you okay?" questioned Bonnie

"It's okay, I'm fine." Stated Elena breathing deeply.

"It was like a bird or something, it came out of nowhere." Stated Bonnie

"Really, I can't be freaked out by cars for the rest of my life." Stated Elena.

"I predict this year is going to be kickass. And I predict all of the sad and dark times are over, and you are going to be beyond happy." Stated Bonnie getting a smile from Elena.

"Major lack of male real estate. Look at the shower curtain on Kelly Beech. She looks like a hot — can I still say 'tranny mess'?" stated then questioned Bonnie as they walked through the halls of their school towards her locker.

"No that's over." Stated Elena.

"Ah, find a man, coin a phrase. It's going to be a busy year." Said Bonnie before turning and looking at a boy over Elena's shoulder.

Turning in that direction Elena found herself looking at a boy, Matt Donavon who stands at approximately 6' foot tall with baby blue eyes and short blonde hair raising a hand in greeting she deflated as he didn't even acknowledge her before turning and leaving.

"He hates me." Stated Elena placing her back on the lockers

"That's not hate. That's 'you dumped me, and I'm too cool to show it, but secretly I'm listening to Air Supply's greatest hits'." Said Bonnie

Before they could speak more another person walked up. This was a young woman also 17 with a pale complexion, blue-green eyes and medium length blonde hair which she often wears in a variety of different styles; straight, curly, or naturally waved. Her name is Caroline Forbes and she makes up the third member of their trio.

"Elena, oh my god!" exclaimed Caroline as she approached and pulled Elena into a hug before pulling away.

"How are you? Oh, it's so good to see you. How is she? Is she good?" fired off the blonde turning to Bonnie midway through.

"Caroline I'm right here, and I'm fine." Stated Elena.

"Really?" questioned Caroline.

"Yes, much better." Stated Elena.

"Oh you poor thing." Said Caroline pulling the girl into yet another hug.

"Ok, Caroline." Stated Elena causing the blonde to pull back.

"Oh, ok. I'll see you guys later." Said Caroline before she was off leaving both girls staring after her.

While this was going on inside, outside of the school Jeremy stood within a place commonly referred to as the stoner pit. Across from him stood a girl that while three years older than him was several inches shorter. She had long somewhat curly brown hair and brown eyes. Her name is Vicki Donavon, Matt's older sister.

"Don't take more than two of these in a six hour window." Said Jeremy handing her a small bottle of pills, and an extra one he dropped in her hand which she quickly popped into her mouth.

"Vicki, I knew I'd find you here with the crackheads."

The speaker was a boy with short black hair, tanned skin, and dark brown eyes. He stood at 5'7 and was slightly muscular, his name is Tyler Lockwood.

"Tyler be nice, that's Elena's little brother." Said Vicki.

"I know who he is, I'd still kick his ass." Stated Tyler pulling her into a kiss.

Back inside the school Elena and Bonnie were making their way through the halls once more when suddenly Bonnie stopped them both just outside of one of the school's office's.

"Hold up, who are they?" questioned Bonnie.

"All I see are backs." Said Elena.

"Yea, hot backs." retorted Bonnie.

What she was seeing were two guys one wore a pair of blue jeans and a black leather jacket with an attached cotton hood. The other wore a pair of black jeans and a dark orange hooded sweatshirt. Meanwhile within the office the two girls were looking in on an office worker looked at the two in front of her. In front of her sat a pair of files which had been presented to her from the two.

"Your records are incomplete. Your missing immunization records and we do insist on transcripts." Stated the woman.

"Please look again. I'm sure everything you need is there." Said one of the teens staring into the secretaries eyes.

"Well your right, so it is." Stated the secretary after a few moments causing both teens to smirk.

Back outside the office the two girls were still eyeing the two guys within.

"I'm sensing Seattle from that one, and he plays the guitar. From that one, I'm sensing LA and a vocalist." Said Bonnie.

"You're really going to run this psychic thing into the ground huh?" questioned Elena.

"Pretty much." Answered Bonnie.

"Yo good batch man." Came a voice catching her attention. Looking over just in time Elena was able to make out her brother as he headed into a restroom.

"I'll be right back." Said Elena before marching off.

"Please be hot." Said Bonnie to herself still looking into the office.

Elena herself wasted no time and without even the slightest hesitation marched into the restroom intent on getting some answers. Her appearance came much to the surprise of those inside who she ignored as if she was wearing blinders and could only see the sight of her brother in her vision, who was in the process of using eyedrops. Marching over to him without a word she grabbed hold of his face and stared dead into his eyes for several long moments before releasing him.

"Great first day of school and your stoned." Said Elena.

"No I'm not." Stated Jeremy.

"Where is it, is it on you." questioned Elena moving to check his pockets.

"Stop, all right. You need to chill yourself, all right." Said Jeremy.

"Chill myself? What is that, stoner talk. Dude you are like so cool." Said Elena sarcasm dripping from her words before trying to back to her checking only for his hands to grab her arms.

"Stop okay. I don't have anything on me. Are you crazy?"

"You haven't seen crazy Jeremy! I gave you a summer pass but I am through watching you destroy yourself. No you know what, go ahead keep it up. Just know that I'm going to be there to ruin your buzz every time, you got it. Jeremy I know who you are, and this isn't it. So don't be this person." Said Elena.

"Look I don't have time for, or need this." Said Jeremy before moving from his position and leaving the room.

Back outside the two teens in the office had finally gotten everything they needed done and left the room, finally giving Bonnie the view she had been waiting for. One of them was a teen with a pale complexion, broad forehead, angular jawline) deep-set, forest green eyes, a straight nose and a well-formed mouth. He has straight, short, dark blonde hair which is currently spiked. He also has straight teeth with a heartwarming smile and is of slightly above average height, about 5'11", and he has a lean, flat-muscled and athletic physique. All in all he was kind of cute though she could tell he was one of those dark, pretty boy brooder types.

Beside him stood another teen this one standing at 6' even. Like the one before him he had blond hair only it was a much brighter almost golden in color that was spiky and clearly untamed. She couldn't tell much about his build though she knew he was muscular in his torso from the way he stood as his chest was slightly popped out. The most striking thing about him was the linear markings, three on each of his cheeks that gave him this animalistic look. Aside from that he had quite possibly the bluest eyes she had ever seen, like looking into a clear sky. As they moved down the hall several eyes including Caroline's followed them, while Bonnie followed after them physically almost as if she was entranced. As they moved to cross the threshold to the restroom Elena chose that moment to come out walking right into one of them. For several moments their eyes met leaving Elena nearly breathless.

"Are you um, isn't this the men's restroom?" questioned the teen.

"Yes, um I was just…um I was just…it's a long story." Stated Elena not able to tear herself away from looking into his eyes.

As one both stepped to the side to give each other space only to step in the same direction. Again they moved only to block each other again, finally giving her a smile he turned allowing her a clear path to move forward. Thanking him Elena took the given path though she couldn't stop smiling for the life of her. As he turned to watch her go, Elena looked back locking eyes with him once more before turning a corner and breaking the stare.

"You did that on purpose, didn't you Stefan." Stated the other teen walking up to him.

"I don't know what you're talking about brother." Said the other.

"Ok so now that you've met her, you can stop stalking her." Said the other blond.

"I wasn't stalking her."

"Well whatever you were doing and are planning don't forget you owe me a ten second car for dragging me here. And I have to get your dumb ass on proper diet, how you've lasted this long living as you do is pure dumb luck." Stated the whisker-marked blond causing the other to grimace.

Not long later found Elena sitting within her first class of the day History. Her teacher was rather young by the name of William Tanner however despite his youth and his looks nobody really liked him due to his attitude. At the moment he was currently in the middle of today's evil monologue (lecture).

"Once our home state of Virginia joined confederacy in 1861, it created a tremendous amount of tension within the state. People in Virginia's northwest region had different ideals than those from the traditional deep south. Then Virginia divided in 1863 with the northwest region joining the union…"

Turning away from the teacher Elena chanced a look slightly behind her to see the boy she had run into earlier sitting one seat behind her and to the right two rows over, allowing for her to see him over the corner of her shoulder. Once again the two of them locked eyes only for Elena to smile and quickly look away. This byplay did not go unnoticed by Matt, whose reaction did not go unnoticed by Bonnie who reacted by texting Elena, Naruto who was sitting directly behind Elena just found the entire situation slightly amusing.

Several hours later found Naruto standing outside the door of a modest size home painted a dark brown color. He waited only a few minutes after ringing the doorbell before the door was opened. The house owner was a woman in her late sixties with dark coco brown skin, almond brown eyes and long curly brown hair, the woman is Sheila Bennett, grandmother to Bonnie.

"Hello Sheila, it's been quite some time." Said the blond with the woman moving aside, without a word spoken he stepped inside closing the door behind him.

Several minutes later found Naruto sitting upon the woman's couch a cup of tea in hand. For several minutes they had engaged in small talk while Sheila fixed the tea before the mood changed.

"I saw Bonnie today, I couldn't believe she's that same baby I use to hold in my lap." Said Naruto wistfully.

"It has been almost twelve years since you last saw her." Stated Sheila.

"That long huh. It seems like only yesterday when I headed back to the Spirit Realm. How is her training coming along?" Stated, then questioned Naruto.

"I haven't started it yet, though I'm set to begin it soon." Stated Sheila.

"That's surprising, with as much power that's packed into that body of hers." Said the blond with a raised eyebrow.

"Her father was being difficult." Stated Sheila.

"Surely Abby has spoken up." Stated the blond.

"Abby got involved in vampire business. Dropped Bonnie off and I haven't seen her or heard from her since; that was ten years ago." Stated Sheila.

Her words had immediate effect as blue eyes immediately flashed a baleful red and the tea cup shattered in his hand due to the spike in his power. The sound was enough to calm him immediately and thankfully he'd already finished the beverage though he went about collected the shards.

"What the hell was that dumb girl thinking. Family is most important. If I have taught all of you anything it was that." Stated Naruto hotly.

"Well either something spooked her, or she didn't get the message." Said Sheila.

Naruto said nothing in response to that instead he merely took out a pen from his pocket and rolled up his left sleeve. Biting his right thumb enough to draw blood he ran it across a small kanji tattoo on the underside of his wrist in a plume of smoke there was a small scroll in hand. Rolling open the scroll he quickly went about writing on it with Sheila simply watching on as he finished his message and rolled the scroll back up. Running through a quick chain of what Sheila recognized as hand seals he placed his hands to the ground and another plume of smoke came. When it cleared Sheila had to fight her urge to coo in adoration as the smoke cleared to reveal a twin tailed fox about the size of a puppy with golden fur which quickly scrambled up the blonds leg and into his lap.

"Daddy!" came a high pitched squeal from what she know knew to be a female Kitsune.

"Hello sweat heart, have you been a good girl for mommy Yuzu-chan." Questioned Naruto getting fast nodding from the young kit.

Sheila smiled at the sight finding nothing strange about it. She had long since been told of his origins when she was a child she had gotten to know many of the Kitsune as Naruto would always summon some for her to play with. Because of this to this day she had a soft spot reserved just for them.

"Do me a favor and give this to mommy for me okay. I'll call you back for dinner tonight." Said Naruto.

As she heard this Sheila felt her breath freeze in her lungs. She had met Hinata several times and she was a very kind and compassionate woman, one that didn't even mind that her mate had other lovers. However if there was one thing she learned was that she was equally scary and anyone who managed to get on her bad side was just out of luck. She really felt bad for Abby now as she knew there was no excuse that was going to save her from Hinata's wrath, as that woman would no doubt find her.

Elsewhere Elena could be found within the cemetery sitting in front of a gravestone. The gravestone she was in front of read Grayson Gilbert and Miranda Sommers-Gilbert, her parents. Pen in hand she was writing in a leather bound journal that her mother had given her as a gift.

Dear diary, I made it through the day. I must have said, 'I'm fine, thanks,' at least thirty-seven times. And I didn't mean it once. But no one noticed. When someone asks, "How are you?" They really don't want an answer.

She paused in her writing as she noticed a bird, or rather a crow had perched itself upon her parents gravestone and was staring at her which seriously creped her out.

"Oh hi bird, that's not creepy or anything. " Spoke the girl.

At the same time she also noticed a fog beginning to roll in out of nowhere. Now seriously creeped out and knowing from horror movies what can happen to people when covered by fog she stood up shooing the bird away. While it took flight and she turned back she was greeted to the crow perched on the statue of another grave. Without looking away from the bird she quickly reached down and grabbed her bag before getting the hell out of dodge. As she made her way out she paused looking over her shoulder in time to make out a silhouette of a person standing behind a tomb. Turning quickly she fled the scene in a run. Problem is the direction she headed took her downhill and it wasn't look before she tumbled and fell. Hurriedly picking herself up she made to run again when she came face to face with Stefan freezing her in her tracks.

"You okay?" questioned the pale skinned teen.

"Were you following me?" questioned Elena after releasing a breath.

"No actually. I just saw you fall." Stated Stefan

"Uh-huh, and you just happened to be hanging out in a cemetery." Said Elena

"Visiting. I have family here." Stated the young man.

"Oh. Wow. Tactless. I'm sorry. It's the fog, It's making me foggy. And then back there, there was this - this bird, and it was all very Hitchcock for a second. That is the bird movie, right, the Hitchcock? ... I'm Elena."

"I'm Stefan."

"I know. We have history together." Stated Elena.

"And English and French." Stated Stefan

"Right." Said Elena just before Stefan moved raising his arm and pulling a leaf from her hair. Looking down to hide a blush she was greeted to the sight of his ring.

"Nice ring."

Raising said ring up she could see that it was a large, silver lapis lazuli ring which he wore on the middle finger of his right hand. On his lapis lazuli stone bears the Salvatore family crest with the letter "S" for the first letter of either his first or last name.

"Oh. Um, It's a family ring. I'm kinda stuck with it. It's weird, huh?"

"`No, no it's just there are rings, and then there's that." Stated Elena.

"Did you hurt yourself?" questioned Stefan after a few moments of silence.

"Oh, uh I don't know."

That said she moved so that she could put her leg up on a rock. Rolling up her pants leg soon revealed a gash in her leg with a large trail of blood leading from it. She was too busy inspecting it to notice that he had turned away and as such she couldn't see how his face suddenly shifted once he saw it his eyes darkening and veins appearing in his face.

"You should go, take care of that." Stated Stefan, his voice a touch deeper.

"It's nothing." Said Elena putting her pants leg back down only to turn and find him gone.

That night within his room at the Salvatore boarding house Stefan could be found writing in his own journal

I lost control today. Everything I've kept buried inside came rushing to the surface. I'm simply not able to resist her.

Pausing in his writing he looked up to see Naruto with two mugs in hand.

Elsewhere at a place called the Mystic Grill Jeremy came up and greeted Vicki only for her to blow him off. Watching her he saw as she headed towards a table trays in hand which she sat down the trays. Seated there were Matt and Tyler.

"Thanks Vick" said Matt giving his sister a one armed hug.

"Do you need another refill?" questioned Vicki addressing Tyler

"I'd love one." Said Tyler watching as Vicki walked off.

"Please tell me you're not hooking up with my sister." Said Matt.

"Okay, I'm not hooking up with your sister." Said Tyler

"You're such a dick." Said Matt shaking his head.

"Hey what's your deal." Said Jeremy as soon as Vicki came back.

"I mean summer you act one way and then school starts and you can't be bothered?" continued the young Gilbert.

"Look, Jeremy, I really appreciate all the pharmaceuticals, but you can't keep following me around like a lost puppy." Said Elena causing Jeremy to raise an eyebrow.

"When's the last time you had sex with a puppy." Stated Jeremy.

"Hey keep it down. I don't want to tell the whole world I deflowered Elena's kid brother." Stated Vicki.

"Yeah and deflowered and deflowered."

"Looked we hooked up a few times during a drug haze. It's over. You gotta back off before you ruin things between me and Tyler." Said Vicki.

"Oh come on! The guys a total douche. He only wants you for your ass." Said Jeremy.

"Yeah, well what do you want me for?" said the girl finishing the conversation by pushing past him.

Elsewhere within the grill Caroline and Bonnie were also at a table though waiting for Elena to arrive. In the meantime Caroline was telling her some interesting things she'd learned during the day.

"His name is Stefan Salvatore. He lives with uncle up at the old Salvatore boarding house. He hasn't lived here since he was a kid. Military family, so they moved around a lot. He's a Gemini, and his favorite color is blue. The other one is his adoptive brother Naruto, he's a Libra, favorite color is orange and those markings on his cheeks are birthmarks."

"You learned all that in one day." Said Bonnie impressed.

"Oh, please, I got all that between third and fourth period. I'm planning a June wedding." Said Caroline.

"Oh, with which one?" questioned Bonnie with a raised eyebrow.

"Not sure yet, haven't made up my mind."

"I'm meeting Bonnie at the grill." Said Elena as she made her way through the house now wearing a black dress as she walked passed her aunt.

"Okay have fun. Wait." Called Jenna causing Elena to stop and turn.

"Okay I've got this. Don't stay out late, it's a school night." Said Jenna getting Elena to chuckle in amusement.

"Well done Aunt Jenna."

As she turned and opened the door she was greeted to the sight of Stefan standing on the porch hand raised an obviously about to knock.

"Sorry, I was about to knock. I wanted to apologize for my disappearing act earlier. I know it was ... strange."

"It's okay I get it. Blood makes you squeamish." Said Elena.

"Um, something like that. Anyway I wanted to apologize for my disappearance. How's your leg?" questioned Stefan.

"Oh, it's fine; just a scratch. How'd you know where I live?" questioned Elena.

"It's a small town. I asked the first person I saw. Thought you might want this back" Stated Stefan handing over a bound book that she recognized as her diary.

Back at the girl Matt and Bonnie had found each other and were now sitting down at a table.

"How's Elena doing?" questioned Matt.

"Her mom and dad died. How do you think? She's putting on a good face, but it's only been four months." Said Bonnie

"Has she said anything about me?" questioned Matt.

"Oh, so not getting in the middle of this one. You pick up the phone and call her." Said Bonnie

"She broke up with me. I feel weird calling her." Said Matt.

"Give it more time Matt." Said Bonnie

"More time, huh" said Matt looking pointedly over her shoulder, following his gaze she saw Elena walking in with Stefan.

Naruto who was at the bar paused with a chicken wing halfway to his mouth as he saw Matt get up and approach the two. From his position he could also see the blonde girl Caroline and the boy Tyler had also started paying attention. Of course he knew why old habits die hard and like any good shinobi worth their rank he'd done some digging, so he knew that Matt was Elena's ex. Channeling a small bit of his chakra to his ears he listened in, not that he would help he was just interested.

"Hi I'm Matt, it's nice to meet you." Said the teen.

"I'm Stefan."

Smirking the blond nodded happy Matt was being the bigger man and not the jealous ex. He didn't quite know why but he liked the kid. Of course he had little doubt that the relationship between him and Elena was in deed over, beside he didn't need the drama that being with someone of Elena's unique bloodline would bring to his life. Several minutes later and after Naruto had finished his wings he noticed that the group of girls and Stephen were now seated at a table.

"So you were born in Mystic Falls?" questioned Caroline

"Mm-Hmm. And moved when I was still young." Answered Stefan.

"Parents?" questioned Bonnie

"My parents passed away." Answered Stefan.

"I'm sorry, any siblings?" questioned Elena, quickly changing the subject.

"Only one that I still talk to." Answered Stefan.

"About that I heard Naruto was adopted, how'd that happen?" questioned Caroline.

Raising an eyebrow at that question Stefan raised his glass taking a drink to stall and looking towards the bar was greeted to the sight of Naruto nodding his go ahead.

"My mom found him when he was five. He was in the backseat of a car that had been run off the road, his parents were in the front. He didn't have any other relatives so instead of letting social services take him and force him into the system she decided to take him in." answered Stefan

"So since you guys are new, I'm guessing you don't know about the party tomorrow." Stated Caroline obviously trying to get away from anything dealing with car accidents

"It's a back to school thing at the falls." Stated Bonnie.

"Do you think you can go?" questioned Elena

"Of course we are." Stated Naruto making his presence known.

"I'm sorry ladies but my brother and I have to head out." Stated Naruto.

"Aw but you just got here." Stated Caroline getting Naruto to smile, she reminded him of Ino.

"Technically I was here before you all were, I've been at the bar. Anyway it's kind of an emergency so we don't have much of a choice." Stated Naruto locking eyes with Stefan who quickly stood and put on his coat.

Nearly thirty minutes later found the two brothers within Stefan's room with Naruto looking at the screen on a laptop. The screen showed the picture of a 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution that was dark blue with a stock body.

"Pretty good, where'd you find this." Questioned Naruto.

"Lexi found it, gave the owner an offer he couldn't refuse." Said Stefan.

"Ah Lexi one of my favorites, is she bringing it herself?" questioned Naruto.

"No she's having it shipped over. Said she won't be by this way for another couple of months. The car should be here next week" said Stefan

Before either of them could speak anymore another figure made his way in. His name was Zach their distant nephew, the story of rich men getting with their maids had started with Giuseppe who had started a relationship with one of his after his wife died. That relationship had ended with an illegitimate kid which was the only reason the Salvatore name was still counted among the living. As he came in he held a newspaper in hand and handed it to Stefan

"You promised." Said Zach.

"This was an animal attack." Stated Stefan handing it to Naruto.

"Don't give me that. I know the game. You tear them up enough, they always suspect an animal attack. You said you had it under control." Said Zach.

"Stefan doesn't feed on humans Zach. Somewhere along the line he got into an animal diet." Stated Naruto.

"Well who the hell could it be then, it's way too sloppy to be you." Said Zach.

Stefan agreed while Naruto didn't need human blood to survive like Stefan did he had developed a taste for it. However the people he fed on always lived and simply chucked it up to a wild night in the sack. Naruto meanwhile was silent his eyes closed as he focused his senses outward. It had taken him a lot of work to completely master his powers and sometimes he still had to go to Kurama for council but training his senses had been the first thing he'd learned to do after he became a Kitsune. Unlike when he was human his power wasn't to much for his body to handle now and as such he could now feel past it as such it took him barely any time at all to find what he was looking for and it caused him to frown as he opened his eyes.

"Zach, pack up your going out of town for a while." Stated Naruto catching both of guard.

"Uncle Naruto I can't just leave." Said Zach.

"You can and you will. I have a company in Florence that needs new management, your application was picked up and you've accepted the position on a temporary basis. You will be gone for a year but that could easily change depending on if you are willing to extend your contract. I won't have you here while Damon is in town." Stated Naruto seriously the name causing Stefan's features to darken.

"It's a good idea Zach. Every time Damon comes to town someone in this family dies, just so he can prove whatever point he's trying to make. You're the last one left and the Salvatore bloodline needs to continue." Stated Stefan

"I suppose there was no point of learning all those Italian languages if I was never going to put them to use." Stated Zach in resignation.

"They'll be a charter plane waiting for you at the airport in the morning. Once you land in Florence someone will be waiting for you, while there you will be under the protection of my sister Yugito and her Bakeneko. While there you will forget about vampires and live your life, start a family of your own perhaps. You'll have no need to worry as vampires stay away from areas under the control of my siblings. That's why Japan, Florence, Venice, Rome, Brooklyn, Miami, Vegas, Los Angeles, and Hawaii don't have vampire problems." Stated Naruto getting a nod from Zach who went to pack.

"Oh and Zach." Called Naruto getting the man to stop.

"In the villa you'll be staying are several cars, some of them are muscles. The only ones you are forbidden to touch are the Daytona and the 70 Chevelle, the rest of them you can have fun with." Said Naruto.

The next day found Naruto and Stefan once more in history class. They had seen Zach off earlier in the morning he had one suitcase as Naruto had informed him everything would be taken care off and he'd find a care package once he got to the villa. At the moment the two of them were listening as the history teacher droned on about a subject, half paying attention, mostly because they had lived through it.

"The Battle of Willow Creek took place right at the end of the war in our very own Mystic Falls. How many casualties resulted in this battle? Ms. Bennett?"

"Um, a lot. I'm not sure…like a whole lot." Stated Bonnie.

"Cute becomes dumb in an instant, Ms. Bennett. Mr. Donovan? Would you like to take this opportunity to overcome your embedded jock stereotype?"

"It's okay Mr. Tanner, I'm cool with it." Stated Matt causing several people to chuckle.

"Elena. Surely you can enlighten us about one of the town's most significantly historical events?" said Mr. Tanner.

"I'm sorry, I-I don't know." Said Elena.

"I was willing to be lenient last year for obvious reasons, Elena. But the personal excuses ended with summer break." Said the teacher.

"There were 346 casualties. Unless your also counting local civilians." Said Stefan surprising the man.

"That's correct, Mister…"

"Salvatore."

"Salvatore; any relation to the original settlers here at Mystic Falls?" questioned the teacher.

"Distant." Said Stefan

"Well very good. Except of course there were no civilian casualties in this battle." Stated Mr. Tanner.

"Actually sir, there were 27. Confederate soldiers; they fired on the church, believing it to be housing weapons. They were wrong. It was a night of great loss. The founder's archives should still be stored in civil hall if you think we're mistaken Mr. Tanner." Said Naruto surprising everyone.

"And you are?" questioned Mr. Tanner

"Naruto Salvatore."

"Naruto, that's a Japanese name if I'm not mistaken fish cake I believe." Said Mr. Tanner getting a smirk from the blond.

"True enough. However Naruto has two meanings depending on the way it's written, my name translates to Maelstrom." Said Naruto correcting the man.

That night the back to school party was in full swing as Naruto and Stefan made their appearance. While Stefan was still in his all black emo ensemble Naruto had switched it up slightly replacing his orange sweatshirt with an open black leather jacket matching Stefan's only with an orange shirt beneath it. Stopping and seeing Stefan's focused stare Naruto popped him on the arm bringing him out of his concentration.

"Stop eavesdropping, not only is it rude, but it's unfair. The fun part is the hunt remember. You've always been a ladies man so just relax and have some fun for once" Said Naruto with a smirk, however before more could be said Caroline popped into view.

"Hey you made it." Said the blonde with a smile.

"I said we would." Said Naruto returning it.

"Well let's get you guys some drinks then." Said Caroline.

"Yea, you know what I could use one, later bro." said Naruto putting an arm around Caroline's own getting a smile from her as he allowed her to lead him away.

Elsewhere deeper into the woods Jeremy was taking a walk drink in hand as he came up on the sight of two people against a tree. Ignoring it he went to take another drink when he heard the words 'no and you're hurting me' come from the female. Sighing to himself at getting involved he blamed the liquor before speaking up.

"Hey leave her alone." He called.

His voice got the male to turn and seeing it was Tyler and Vicki he silently thanked his conscious for making him pay attention.

"You know, you're starting to get on my nerves, Gilbert." Said Tyler as he glared in his direction.

"I'm scared." Stated Jeremy in a monotone taking another drink.

"Just go, Tyler. Get the hell away from me!" exclaimed Vicki.

"Vicki Donovan says no. That's a first." Said Tyler before walking away.

"I didn't need your help." Said Vicki after he was gone.

"It seemed like you did." Said Jeremy.

"He was just drunk." Said Vicki.

"So. I'm drunk, am I forcing myself on you." Said Jeremy.

"No, you're worse. You want to talk to me, get to know me, see into my soul and screw and screw and screw until you're done with me." Said Vicki.

"Is that what you think?"

"It's what I know." Said Vicki as she moved and began walking away.

"Well you know wrong this time." Said Jeremy lowly walking away himself though Vicki still heard him and paused turning to watch him walk off.

In no time at all Vicki found herself wandering through the deeper woods as a fog started slowly rolling in. Hearing a noise around her she stopped and looked behind her.

"Jeremy is that you?" questioned the girl.

Hearing no answer she called out again once more getting silence as a response. Turning to leave she didn't have a chance as suddenly something rushed her and she screamed.

Back at the party Stefan approached Elena who was sitting on a rail as he approached. They had been in discussion for a while and he'd moved away so that he could regain control of himself once he'd realized he was starting to change. On the approach to Elena he was approached by a few girls including Caroline only to rebuff them all. However before they could restart their conversation Elena spotted Jeremy obviously drunk and excused herself to chase after him. Chasing after him into the deeper woods she kept calling him until he turned to answer over his shoulder only for him to trip. Catching himself with his hands he was horrified to find that he landed on Vicki who was bleeding from the neck. Rushing her back to the party for help Jeremy laid her on a table while a crowd watched them work. Matt who was working on her looked up just in time to catch Naruto and Stefan share a look before both of them backed out from the crowd and made their leave.

Back home the two stood in Stefan's room neither saying a word. Before either of them could speak a squawk was heard and both watched as a black crow shot through the room. Following its path to the open balcony the two were greeted to another figure standing there. Standing 5'9" in height with a well built, toned physique he physically appeared as that of around a 22-25 year old. He has a light complexion with olive undertones and has a strong bone structure with high cheeks bones and a solid jaw line. He possesses darkened brown, almost black hair which hangs just over his ears and blue eyes.

"Damon." Said Stefan

"Hello, brothers."

"Crows a bit much don't you think?" questioned Stefan.

"Wait until you see what I can do with the fog." Stated Damon as he made his way inside.

"So when'd you get here?" questioned Stefan.

"Well I couldn't miss your first day of school. Your hair's different, I like it."

"It's been fifteen years Damon." Stated Stefan

"Thank God. I couldn't take another day of the nineties. That horrible grunge look? Did not suit you. Remember, Stefan, it's important to stay away from fads." Said Damon.

"TV was better back then though. Now it's all fake reality TV." Said Naruto making his presence known.

"True enough." Said Damon with a shrug.

"Why are you here Damon?" questioned Stefan.

"What I missed my brothers." Stated Damon causing both to deadpan.

"Damon you hate small towns. 'It's boring, there's nothing to do'" stated Stefan quoting Damon's own words from the past.

"I've managed to keep myself busy." Said Damon

"Your actions have been noticeable of late. You're getting sloppy. You even left that girl alive tonight." Stated Stefan.

"That can be a problem, for you." Stated Damon.

"Why are you here now?" questioned Stefan with a sigh.

"I could ask you the same. But I bet I can answer that with one word, Elena." Stated Damon causing Stefan to narrow his eyes.

"She took my breath away you know, Elena. She's a dead ringer for Katherine. Is it working though, being around her, in her world? Does it make you feel alive?" Questioned Damon.

"Enough both of you." Said Naruto causing both of their mouths to snap shut in an instant.

"Damon I honestly don't care why you're here, this is as much your home as it is ours. That said no more stunts like the last two. We don't need too many bodies dropping left and right as I have no doubt that people are already suspicious." Stated Naruto

Back at the falls the part had wrapped up due to Vicki's condition and the police and ambulance had been called. While Vicki had been taken along with Matt in the ambulance Jeremy and Elena were still their along with a few other stragglers. As such Elena walked up to Jeremy who despite the police presence was still drinking a beer straight from the bottle

"You ok? I called Jenna, she's on her way." stated Elena only for him to shrug her arm off.

"Those people in uniforms, last time I checked, they're the police." Hearing this Jeremy responded by downing the last of the drink and tossing it behind him.

"People are going to stop giving you breaks, Jer. They just don't care anymore. They don't remember that our parents are dead, because they've got their own lives to deal with. The rest of the world has moved on. You should try, too." Said Elena

"I've seen you in the cemetery writing in your diary. Is that-is that supposed to be you moving on?" questioned Jeremy

"Mom and dad wouldn't have wanted this." Said Elena with a sigh.

Elsewhere within the hospital Matt sat at his sisters bedside his mind actively going over everything that had gone on that night. Looking up towards her face he was greeted to the sight of her eyes slowly blinking open.

"Vicki...Hey, hey, it's ok. You're gonna be ok" said Matt as Vicki came back into the waking world.

"Matt…"

"Don't try to talk ok. You're fine." Said Matt.

"Vampire" said Vicki.

Elsewhere Caroline sat inside of a Café nursing her hangover while Bonnie was in the restroom. Looking over to her right she saw Damon looking at her from the window, he smiled and she smiled back. While this happened Elena was sitting in her room writing in her diary.

Dear diary, I couldn't have been more wrong. I thought that I could smile, nod my way through it; pretend like it would all be ok. I had a plan. I wanted to change who I was, create a life without the past, without the pain. But it's not that easy, the bad things stay with you, they follow you. You can't escape them as much as you want to. All you can do is be ready for the good. So when it comes, you invite it in, because you need it.

Looking outside of her own window she saw Stefan walking towards her door. Closing her diary she made her way downstairs, and while earlier he hadn't come inside, this time when she invited him in he did.

AN: That's it chapters done. First chapter of a new series of stories. I promise I won't follow every episode of the show as that would take way too long but major points will be touched. Thanks for reading and please review, till next time. LATER.
