Chapter 9: Pain

Naruto kicked a stone dully, his hand stuffed deeply into his pockets casually but they were clenched and his entire being seemed tense.

"No, Naruto, stay away from me..."

What did he mean by that? It's not like he would hurt me...

"Naruto...if you DARE even try to tell anyone...you'll pay...I'm sorry but I can't let you dobe...truly, I am."

Was he threatening me...?

The teen stopped in his tracks, images of that freezing gaze of sterling ice cutting deep into his mind. A chill ran up his spine, they had such a murderous intent hidden in them yet at the same time caring. His eyes widened remembering the warmth breath of his comrade against his neck and the powerful grip that had trapped him. His hands shook inside his pockets and gripped the fabric, memories of the few moments of horror flooding his thoughts. He was truly afraid, he was scared of Sasuke. His friend and worthy rival, someone he almost considered a brother.

"No...he would never hurt me..." he muttered as he stood still on an empty street of the darkening village. He looked toward crimson read sky, painted with many vibrant pastels of light that dyed the clouds as the sun made it's decent. His countenance suddenly filled with determination,

No...I won't give up on you Sasuke...I'll stay quiet if you want me to...but I'll be damned if I don't help you

Sasuke stumbled across the back porch of the Uchiha home, leaning heavily against the railing. His stomach lurched and he doubled over and collapsed onto the wood floor. Gagging from the pain of emptiness.

"STOP TORTURING ME!" he shouted aimlessly toward the lustrous moon that seemed to gaze down from the heavens and mock him as he laid in a heap on the ground.

"Oh my, oh, my...don't go blaming such a pretty thing for your short comings..." Vetala's voice said soothingly. Sasuke grimaced at the simple sound of it, he hated it, he despised it...he wanted to snap her over his knee and cast her out of his life.

"You poor thing..." She crooned as she gently turned the boy over on his side and caressed his cheek.

"You're starving yourself...how unhealthy...you're not as beautiful anymore you know. So pale. Its rather bad not to drink at this time of growth, you really do need it now, you know." Vetala stated as she kneeled down next to him. "I wish you were more like Kosovo...he listened to me...and he remained alive and as my pet...at least he drank..." Vetala placed a pair of finger's over the healing incisions on his neck. Sasuke yelled in pain, his arms wrapped around his middle as if he tried to ease it.

"STOP...!" he shouted becoming breathless and he suddenly yelled out in pain as he felt a spasm of agony shoot through his back and wracked his spine. A cruel smirk grew across the woman's face as she heard his heart skip a beat and a horribly labored and sharp breath inhaled. It sounded almost as if he was being suffocated by the torment.

"Woopsie...I think I urged it on just a tad too much hm?" she said tilting a head to the side, "you really do need to drink dear...if you don't the pain will just get worse...and you'll get carried away..."

"Shut up...I'm not g-going to t-turn anyone e-else I-into a t-thing l-like me..." he panted out, glaring at her as much as his body would allow. She began to giggle and laugh,

"So much for being keen...the only reason those people died is because you drained them bone dry! Oh well...I'll let you keep thinking what you want...do you even know why you turned into what you are?" she said with a smirk. Sasuke looked at her with puzzlement and anger.

"Its because you chose it...its all your fault you're like this...you were on the verge of death and you didn't want to die...subconsciously...you were begging for life...maybe it was that hatred of your's...maybe even that little fox your eyes are so set on.."

The teen's hand twitched,

"how...do you.."

"I have my ways..." she said with a fake smile of kindness as she began to pull Sasuke's body up. "But I'm thirsty...and once I've fed you will need to...then you'll have no choice..."

"I'll fight it...no matter what..." Sasuke said with a small smirk, "I don't need any damn blood..."

Vetala let out a small 'tch' as she pushed the collar of his shirt away and sunk her fangs into the middle of his chest just above the collar bone. He yelped in pain before whimpering as he tried to struggle but it only increased the pain. She roughly pulled out and tore his flesh and he gasped from the affliction.

"I've really messed up with you...I suppose I've forced it too much...no wonder you can live without it...you don't really need it yet and now your body is breaking...I'll visit you every now and then all right?" she said, sounding almost as if she was a worried mother as she rubbed her blood stained cheek against his before dropping his limp body to the ground. He let out a deep cough and blood dripped from the corner's of his mouth.

"Now take care alright?" she said with that same grin before disappearing into a fog of cool night air.
