Angel Of Darkness

Chapter Six: Encounter

Inuzuka Neji lived by a set of rules that he had come up with.

He believed that they were the key to his success.

As long as he followed them, nothing could go wrong. Yet, when it came to Sabaku no Naruto, Neji just couldn't seem to get things right. He ended up falling on face more often than not. He also always wound up saying the wrong thing, acting the wrong way, and in the end always hurt Naruto.

Not this time! This time he was going to make sure he got everything right and made Naruto fall in love with him. He had a plan, and he had made sure to change himself into everything that he knew the blond loved.

First thing he had to do to accomplish that, he had to make sure he looked his best. That is why he had bought the best hair products that he could to wash his hair with and always leave it feeling soft and smelling good. Cleanliness and hygiene were number one for any person to accept you.

Second thing he needed to do was wear the best clothing that he could. Expensive if they had to be. But he wanted Naruto to look at him and think of him as successful and smart. There was nothing like fresh clothing and brand new kicks to help you walk with confidence.

Third, would be to find Naruto and get to talk to him. Really talk, deep and share things that would make them become closer. Although Gaara tended to stand in the way of him and Naruto, that was just not going to cut it anymore. Neji wasn't going to allow anyone to push him around to their whims.

Before he could execute his own plan, Neji had to figure out how to get his new roommates, and his own brother out of his things!

Who the hell were these people?

From the moment that he had first walked into the dorm room, he had been assaulted by a blond man that could pass off for a woman at first glance. His name was Aosakada Deidara. Besides Deidara there was the other roommate, a boy with red hair that had taken over the kitchen to make his puppets. He had soon learned that his name was Akasuna Sasori.

Kiba had become instant friends with them, and even showed off his small pup. One that Kiba even had the courtesy to name Akamaru. Neji swore that if not his brother then every other person that he met was out to make him go insane!

"And what are you going to do about it?"

Neji turned to look at his brother, who was munching on bone shaped biscuits. The puppy in his lap was lying between crossed legs, with a bone of his own to munch on. Neji wasn't sure if he had been ranting off aloud, but he wouldn't doubt it. Kiba always seemed to know what he was thinking anyways.

"Shut up, I'll figure something out."

"Sure," Kiba sarcastically said, "I believe you,"

"Aww, it's cloudy," Naruto complained.

Sasuke shifted in his position beside the window, looking out to the cloudy sky. He felt languid today. The fact that it was Saturday only left him feeling all that more boneless and relaxed. At least, something about this Saturday was making him feel good.

He just couldn't tell what it was.

Maybe it was that soft comforting aura that had suddenly settled around him that was making him feel as such. But he was not going to ruin it by questioning it.

"Ne, do you think it's gonna rain?" Naruto continued to whine as he looked at the other roommates, seeing as he wasn't going to get an answer from the dozing Sasuke. Izuna was in the kitchen writing in what he called his most private journal. Gaara on the other hand was cooking for everyone, claiming he needed something to distract his mind. It still bothered Naruto that Gaara might be hiding something. "Is anyone listening to me?" he cried.

"Why don't you just watch some cartoons," Gaara offered.

"No," Naruto pouted, "There's nothing good on. And the cable is off." He huffed and fell back on the couch. "I'm so bored."

"It is going to rain," Sasuke suddenly said. This made everyone turn towards the lounging boy that remained curled up right next to window.

"Sasuke, get away from that window," Izuna scolded, and turned a glare to the dismissing motion Sasuke made. Izuna suddenly stood up and walked over to Sasuke. Gaara and Naruto were both shocked when Izuna grabbed Sasuke from under his arms and forcibly-or at least it looked effortlessly on Izuna's part- picked Sasuke up and carried him over to the other end of the couch. "You are such a little brat Sasuke," he said in an almost motherly way, as he lovingly ruffles the boy's hair.

"Eh," the small raven curled back into himself.

Izuna then bounced back to what he was doing, and Naruto moved close to Sasuke and look down at him. "You seem less snappy today," he commented, and then looked at Izuna, "Did you feed him happy pills or something?"

"Huh, happy pills?" Izuna asked, looking confused. "What does that mean?"

"It's just an expression," Gaara said in an effort to clear up what the blond meant without having Naruto say something that could turn out to be insulting. "He just means that Sasuke isn't his usual energetic self."

"Oh," Izuna said, "Hm, well this is the first time I've seen him be like that. Usually he'd be going out to do something on Saturdays." Izuna got a thoughtful look then, "Today they do let us actually walk out of campus, don't they,"

"Yeah, they do," Naruto said, and then suddenly perked up, "Maybe we should all go somewhere and do something! We could probably go watch a movie" The blond then turned towards Sasuke again and started to shake the small raven. "Come on Sasuke, let's go hang out at the park or something! I'm bored."

Sasuke slapped Naruto's hands away and huffed, "I refuse. I'd rather stay here."

Naruto arched an eyebrow. "You can't be serious." Lowering his voice he then said, "What if we run into the long haired raven,"

Sasuke sat up and glared at Naruto. "You just want to go and get his attention all for yourself, don't you?" Sasuke accused, and then stood up. His good mood was suddenly gone. "Well, I'm not going to let you!" with that, he headed into his room so he could get dressed.

Naruto looked offended. "That's not what I meant!"

Gaara turned to look at Naruto, and raised an eyebrow. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing," He muttered, and then got up so he could go to his own room. A few minutes later Sasuke stepped out of his own room and went over to Naruto's. In another few minutes Sasuke was dragging Naruto out the door with him.

"Hey, where are you two going aren't you going to eat?" Gaara called out and all he got was the door slammed closed for an answer.

Izuna jumped over to him and said. "Oh well, more food for me,"

"Itachi…" Kyuubi called, sounding miserable "Slow down,"

"I never asked you to follow," Was all Itachi could respond as he and Kisame walked down the streets of Konoha, towards the mall. Both Itachi and Kisame had made plans to hang out at the mall on Saturday. Kyuubi following them was not planned. Thus neither of them felt oblige to slow down and actually let him in on what they were doing.

"Why are you following us?" Kisame asked, as he looked over his shoulder.

"What? I can't hang out with you guys?"

"Oh" Kisame got a look on his face, "Is it that you have no friends?"

This caused Kyuubi's eye to twitch in annoyance. "I have plenty of friends!" he snapped.

"Right," Kisame sarcastically said, and then he turned back to Itachi. "Anyways, how do you suggest I get his attention?"

Itachi looked at Kisame, before stuffing his hands into his pockets and looked forward. He didn't understand were such a question had come from the shark like boy. But he had to be honest. "I don't know," After all, "I haven't dated much, less of all asked guys out."

"Really," Kisame said in slight disbelief. "I would have thought that you'd have both guys and girls wanting to date you." Kisame crossed his arms as Itachi shook his head in the negative. It wasn't that it was the lack of anyone wanting to date him, it was more his lack of interest in others. Recently though, that interest had been sparked by someone whom he had yet to learn the name of. "Aww, that sucks."

"Not really," Itachi muttered. "I don't care much for dating."

"Hmm," Kisame said, "But what if you liked someone, how would you ask them out?"

Now that was a different question.

Itachi had never thought about how he would approach the small spiky haired raven when it came to asking him out. He just thought maybe the boy would eventually come to him. Telling him to allow him to suck his blood, or fucking him wasn't really what he wanted to do. In fact, it seemed that every thought about what he could possibly say to the boy just flew right out of his head. "I'd have to think about that,"

"So you have no idea either?"

Itachi quirk an eyebrow, "I've never thought about it. Seems like you have, what did you have in mind?"

Kisame visibly blushed and shrugged. "Well, I was thinking maybe I could go up to them and just ask them out….kind of like. 'Hey, I like you, want to go out with me?' and then just kind of let it ride out you know…" Kisame shrugged again, "Hope he takes my invitation and allows me to take him out on a date."

"Uh," Itachi looked intrigued. That could work.

"Tch, you know nothing Kisame," Kyuubi suddenly snorted from behind them. "That's gonna get you rejected!"

"Shut up, you know nothing!" Kisame bitterly said towards the smug red head.

"I know plenty" Kyuubi said, "After all, I've asked out my fair share of boys since I was in junior high school!" the red head was obviously bragging. That pissed Kisame off, but Itachi seemed clueless to the bragging.

"Really," Itachi said before Kisame could retort. He looked over his shoulder, "And how did you ask them out?"

"Hah!" Kyuubi paused as he thought back to the times he had asked his crushes out, "Hmph, wouldn't you like to know,"

Itachi looked at him oddly, "That is why I asked." It was incredibly annoying having to talk with Kyuubi. More often than not, Itachi thought of him as an idiot. And what was worse was that he thought he was more of an idiot now than he had been in the past.

"Well," Kyuubi sighed, "I just said, 'Hey, you're going out with me, I'll pick you up at six.' And that usually leaves no room for rejection."

"I see," Itachi said as he looked forward again.

The way Kyuubi suggested sounded a little too forceful for his tastes. It was just like the Kyuubi from his past, someone who couldn't take no for an answer. He always just demanded for things to happen. Had humans really lowered their standards so much that they would allow themselves to be bossed around?

"Hah! That just means that you got stood up, and that does mean rejection" Kisame shot in. Now that made more sense to Itachi.

"Shut up, what do you know?"

"How about…" Itachi suddenly spoke, stopping the other two from starting an argument. "You first become your crush's friend?" This confused Kyuubi and Kisame. After all, who wanted to just be 'friends' with the person that they liked? They were glad for when Itachi offered an explanation without them having to ask. "It'd be the perfect way to get to know them, maybe even get them to also gain a crush in return." Itachi shrugged. "Just a thought really."

"And not a bad one," Kisame agreed, "That will mean I get to hang out with him! And eventually make him mine if I play my cards right."

"Knowing you, you're crush wouldn't want such an annoying friend!" Kyuubi taunted. Kisame ignored him. They had reached the mall.

"He hangs out by the pet store, looking at the fishes." Kisame commented as they walked inside. Itachi was instantly assaulted by the colorful signs, blurring music, different scents, and the talk of almost a thousand people that came to shop. This is why he hated coming to the mall, but it had never been this bad before. For some reason his senses were really hyper aware to the point that he had little concentration. Otherwise, all of this would seem normal and he wouldn't have to calm down from the sudden rush. He forced himself to bring down his senses and concentrate on what Kisame was saying. "And other times at the food court…so we can start at the pet store."

"Alright," Itachi said.

With that, Kisame led the way towards the pet store he had mentioned.

Sasuke closed his eyes, the cool breeze from outside felt nice on his skin.

He and Naruto had decided to head towards the park. It had been some time since Sasuke had actually been to a park, and the fact that not a lot of people had planned to go there today, made it even better. Sasuke jumped into the large sand area, and walked over to the swings, standing up in one of them, grabbing the metal sides to pull himself up and then swung back and forth. Naruto stomped his way over to him, kicking sand here and there. "You should sit on it instead, or you could fall," Naruto warned.

"Don't worry about idiotic notions Dobe," Sasuke calmly said, "I know all the basics on how to defy gravity"

Naruto looked at him angrily, not understanding what Sasuke had just said. "Fine, fall and crack your head."

Sasuke snorted. "Shows how much you know." He swung a little faster. "Sand would only scrape my hands and knees if I were to fall on it." not that Sasuke believed he would ever fall in the sand and allow it to harm him/

"It would still hurt."

"True," Sasuke agreed, "but you let me worry about that. You shouldn't worry about things that don't hurt you,"

"You're my friend," Naruto grumbled, "its only natural I would worry,"

Sasuke ignored him. He kept swinging back and forth. His mind was once again thinking about the long haired raven, and how much he wanted to see him. He had already thought about everything that could happen if he decided to go up to him and say hi, or maybe something else like 'I like you'. In his daydreaming it would usually end with them kissing or something, but when he opened his eyes and tried to see it happening in reality, he became too nervous.

How could he ever approach someone he barely even knew and ask him to be his boyfriend?

All he kept seeing was rejection.

Glancing over to Naruto, he doubted that he had such complications going on in his mind. The dobe was probably not even thinking about asking the long haired raven out. He probably already knew what he wanted to do and say. And yet, Sasuke found himself reluctant to allow Naruto to be the first to make a move on his long haired raven.

Grumbling to himself he had not noticed when Naruto had left his swing and climbed on top of one of the kid play areas.

"Yo Sasuke!" Naruto called before attempting to cross the monkey bars. Sasuke sighed, and closed his eyes again as he continued to swing. Naruto was such an idiot. There was no way he could lose to him!

"Hey!"

Sasuke jumped out of the swing, and landed perfectly on his feet.

Naruto was startled by Sasuke's sudden jump, but both turned to look at the new group of boys that were standing to the sides. Two of them had white hair, one with green eyes and the other with lilac colored eyes. There was a giant, and…well, one girl.

"Hey, you kids are from our school right? Akatsuki Taka high?" the boy with the lilac colored eyes asked.

Sasuke shrugged, "Maybe," and turned his back to them as he walked back towards the swing.

"I'm sure you are," The boy with the amethyst eyes said with certainty, "I'm Hozuki Suigetsu; we have Kakashi in the morning, remember?"

"I miss class more often than not," Sasuke commented.

"Sasuke's just being mean again," Naruto said as he stepped in. The others looked away from Sasuke and towards Naruto. "So wazz up, you guys want to hang out with us? Although I don't think I've met you," He said, looking at the others.

Suigetsu chuckled, "Nah, this is my bro Kimimaro, he's in university now and this is his boyfriend Juugo. Karin is my older sister; she's goes to a junior college,"

"Oh cool," Naruto grinned, "It's good to meet you guys!" he waved at them, and then proudly pointed at himself "I'm Sabaku no Naruto."

"Same here,"

"Good to meet you,"

"Hey,"

"We were just heading to the mall, if you and Sasuke want to come." Suigetsu offered. Naruto thought about it for a bit and then nodded his head.

"Yeah, that would be fun. Hey, Teme-" he turned to regard Sasuke with the news that they had been invited to the mall, but his eyes widened when he noticed where Sasuke was. He was not the only one to look shocked. Sasuke had somehow gone from the swing and was now standing on the top railing that the swing was connected to. "Teme, get down from there!" Naruto screamed, but all of them gasped when Sasuke turned to look at them, maintaining perfect balance as he did so.

Sasuke always had liked climbing. He wished to go higher, but as he was contemplating on doing that, Naruto had called out to him.

"What do you want dobe?" he asked, looking a bit annoyed that Naruto had taken him out of his thoughts.

"Get down!" Naruto screamed. He and the others ran over to him. Sasuke gave them a perplexed look as they all seemed terrified of something.

Had they seen something awful?

They could have, with Naruto frantically telling him to get down. Sasuke looked around, and couldn't figure it. It was really starting to get annoying. The park was practically empty and there was nothing interesting going around for miles.

Sasuke shifted his weight and turned to walk across the thin pole. The others held their breath, amazed at Sasuke's perfect balance. The boy then jumped off by one of the sides, landing perfectly on his feet, and begun to walk away.

The others decided to follow him, their hearts at their throats at what had just happened. Keeping up with Sasuke was no easy task.

By the time Sasuke made a turn around one of the buildings, he was gone. "Where'd he go?" Karin asked, sounding breathless. They turned to look at Naruto and the blond helplessly shrugged.

"That's Sasuke for you," he said, as he watched the freaked out expressions, "an oddball of mysteries."

"So, he wasn't there, get over yourself!" Kyuubi snapped.

Kisame was disappointed.

After walking everywhere around the mall, he found that his crush had not come to the mall today. Itachi had not said anything, he was so nice. Kyuubi on the other hand, his taunts were starting to get on his nerves.

He was upset! Okay. He was going to try and be friends with his crush and now he couldn't do that, because he wasn't here. That was okay. Like Itachi said, he could try again next time.

"You get over yourself as well," He snapped at Kyuubi.

"We might as well leave," Itachi suddenly said, once again cutting at their argument. "It's getting dark,"

"True," Kisame said as he too glanced up at the ceiling window that Itachi was looking at. It was probably only mid-day, but the clouds looked dark and sort of made the day less cheerful. "Do you think it's going to rain?" he asked.

"Yeah," Itachi answered, and started to walk out of the mall.

Once outside, Itachi took in the fresh icy air and allowed his hyper senses to relax. He had been agitated ever since he stepped into the mall. All three of them walked in silence as they decided to go back to the dorms after a full day of practically nothing.

As they were walking a group of boys were heading their way, in the opposite direction. They all glanced at each other as they made the same turn towards the high school.

Kisame jabbed Itachi in the ribs as he leaned down to his ear with a harsh whispered, "It's him! The one with the white hair, and amethyst colored eyes," Kisame flailed, not knowing what to do.

Kyuubi tensed up the second he noticed the blond boy. Itachi felt a harsh tug on his side and he turned to look at Kyuubi who whispered to him, "It's him! The blond you saved." Annoyed, he tried to walk ahead of them.

Both of them were gripping his arms, not allowing him to do anything.

"Then talk to them," he hissed.

"No," the two became worse the closer they got. Itachi had enough.

Itachi glowered at them, and then turned towards the group of approaching boys with a flare, his long hair swaying impeccably in the air. "Hey," he said.

Naruto and Suigetsu both blushed when Itachi talked to them.

"Hey," Suigetsu was the first to say, "You're from one of my classes aren't you?" he asked. Itachi nodded.

"Yeah, with Mr. Kakashi, You're Hozuki Suigetsu," Itachi coolly said.

Suigetsu looked pleased that Itachi had remembered his name. "Dude!" Kisame jabbed him on the side for being too smooth with his crush. Itachi inwardly winced.

"These are my friend, Hoshigaki Kisame, and the pest Namikaze Kyuubi." Itachi introduced with a gesture to each boy.

"Don't call me a pest," Kyuubi hissed.

"Cool," Suigetsu said, a bit overwhelmed by the enthusiastically waving males. "This is Sabaku no Naruto, and this is my brother, Kimimaro and his boyfriend Juugo. They're from the university," he motioned towards the high school. "They are going to drop us off," he then made a face, "By any chance have you seen a raven haired boy, spiky hair, pale skin, anywhere around here? Answers by the name of Sasuke? We've been looking for him."

Itachi shook his head, "No, we have not. We were just in the mall and are just returning."

Kisame stepped in then, "We could help you look for him if you like? Itachi here said that it might rain soon," Kisame patted Itachi in the back.

Naruto's eyes became curiously wide as he said, "Ah, that's what Sasuke said, well before he disappeared, It'd be awesome if you helped us look for him!"

Itachi was interested. After all, he was curious if Sasuke was who he thought it was…He had no objections in helping look for him.

"No worries," Kyuubi stepped in then, "We will have him found before you even know it. So, just tell us where to look!"

"Well, we think he might have returned to the school, since we looked all around the park." Naruto said, his blue eyes shining.

Deciding that they were going to look around the school, and eventually meet up around the cafeteria, they all went in search for Sasuke.

Sasuke walked on his own, lost in his own thoughts and made his way out of building A, and towards building C.

He felt frustrated.

He was searching again, and he knew it was for the long haired male whom he knew nothing about. He just couldn't understand his strange yearning he had for that guy.

The small spiky haired raven ran his hand up and down the sidewall of building C, sensuous moves marking the building for destruction. He thought about how simple it would be to blast it in his frustration, but the fangs inside his mouth ached to sink into a pulsing neck so he could have a drink.

Of course, Sasuke had more self-restrain than that. By the instinct of knowing that he would be killing off his one source of blood, his fingers moved away from the black wall, and he looked at the glass doors.

They slid open, allowing him entrance into the building.

A small smirk curled his lips as he saw the locker stalls of the first floor. It was where everyone had their lockers. This building wasn't one for classes. Just by the end of the building he could hear teenagers talking with each other, and smocking if his nose was not mistaken, and his nose was never wrong.

Sauntering into the building, Sasuke's eyes narrowed in a sexy dangerous way, and they gleamed a daring red.

The light tapping of his feet as he walked on the glossy floor was the only warning the teenagers got as he came near. He could have been dead silent, if he had wished it and not wanted to alert his prey, but he had wanted them to know he was coming.

It was more fun that way.

There were three boys, gang looking punks with black tight clothing, piercings, and chains. They were going against the uniform standards, and that alone was enough for Sasuke to classify them as idiots. They seemed to jump when they heard him but other than that, they relaxed and looked smug. Their eyes were suggestively looking him up and down while they smirked, their intentions at what they were seeing clear in their expressions.

After all, it was the three big bad boys against the small pretty fragile boy.

"Tch, it's just some dude," the words were spat, "what do you want?" this boy, obviously the leader asked when Sasuke paused before them. He acted uninterested, but there was a tick about him that wanted. "You know you shouldn't be here," his brown, blood shot eyes were already eating Sasuke's alluring looks.

Sasuke shrugged, not speaking a word. He simply waited, waited for them to look into his eyes.

"Hahaha, you really shouldn't be here pretty boy," the second one said, "If you know what's good for you, you'll turn yourself around." He licked his lips.

Sasuke arched an eyebrow, his hands going into his pockets as he took one step back, his raven hair shinning deliciously under the white florescent light of the hall way. His looks alone, made the other boys choke up. They weren't gay, but they always could make exceptions. Just watching this boy before them was getting them hard.

The fact was that they had looked into Sasuke's eyes, and the boy couldn't help but feel triumph as they fell under his spell. He turned this way and that, making the lines of his body come off the best. A prey that was lured and attracted to you would taste the best than fear fueled blood.

"Hey, you better get going." the third boy managed to say, swallowing hard seeing as the leader and the other boy were already brain numb. Something was not right. He could sense something was wrong the moment his friends started to make highly suggestive expressions.

Sasuke sighed, "What are your names?" he asked his eyes innocent and curious. The boys felt their hearts literally pick up in speed.

"Uh…our names…yah" the other stuttered, until his own mind was blank.

Sasuke pouted, and the boys not only felt like their hearts were going to explode, but their very being was melting. They suddenly wanted to give this boy anything, and everything that he could ever want or need.

It couldn't be normal!

The boy was gorgeous and already their breathing was coming in hard, their blood was hot, and their vision was swimming. They were overheating in their arousal, drowning with need. Before any of them knew what was happening, they had passed out.

Sasuke huffed.

"Happens all the time," he muttered, displeased that he had once again failed to create a mind zombie like Izuna. Somehow when he tried to control someone's mind, they ended up getting overheated and fainting. Sasuke could never fully get them to come and offer their necks so he could hang off them while he fed.

Sighing, he walked over to them, pulled the boy who fell down last towards him, and smelled him.

All of them smelled of tainted blood, rotten sin, and lies.

Their smoking made their blood thin and watery and their hearts fragile. His appetite was suddenly lost, it was not what he wanted. Sasuke stood back up, and decided to leave. He had forgotten how boring high school kids could be.

It sucked that it seemed that he was once again searching for something that never seemed to come. Sasuke was confused, but he did not want to be.

As he was heading towards the exit, or the entrance where he had come in from, he suddenly halted, his eyes catching sight of a dark figure standing by the door. A thrilling shiver ran down his spine at the feel of their intimidating aura.

It left his mouth dry and speechless.

It was power that called out to him, and his heart jolted.

Itachi found himself with Kyuubi and Naruto.

The tension that was between the red head and the blond could be cut with a knife.

Itachi wanted to be separated from them. It was strange really. It was like Kyuubi was looking at Naruto with interest, but it was like Naruto was looking at him with interest. Not that it was anything out of the ordinary.

Itachi usually had a few people here and there looking at him the same way. Just as long as some lame confession did not happen, everything was going to be alright.

Soon he decided to look around. If he had read the map correctly, when he had managed to get one, there had to be about ten different buildings, and about over four hundred classrooms. That was apart from the village, the area where the dorms were kept. While the thought of just going to every classroom and searching for the raven haired boy crossed his mind, something else caught his attention.

All other thoughts had immediately vanished from his mind.

Itachi had been taken by surprise as he felt a strong spike of power coming just behind building B and towards C.

He paused in his walk, long enough to catch Kyuubi's and Naruto's attention. Both red head and blond watched the tense long haired raven, and gasped when Itachi sharply turned and started to head towards Building B.

They found themselves struggling to keep up with Itachi. As he passed along the side of building B and headed straight for building C, Itachi suddenly made a turn.

"Yo, Itachi, what's up?" Kyuubi called, feeling irritated with Itachi. "Where are you going!" Like that, Itachi was gone on them.

Naruto looked confused.

Was this not normal behavior for Itachi?

Itachi looked up at building C with mild interest. If he had read the description correctly, this was the locker central. Everyone would get assign a locker next week on Monday, as well as receive the rest of their text books.

Narrowing his eyes, they gleamed as he could take in the power from just the other side.

Itachi was sure there was a submissive little Vamp messing around the area- the unmated little submissive that has been haunting him since he came here.

The dominant vampire blood in him told him that this little one was powerful, much to his liking. He should claim him and make him his, only his. While Itachi had encountered plenty of wayward vampires, this one's energy felt different to him, and it seemed to call towards him.

He needed to see who the person behind all that power was.

In a split second, he was standing before the doors of the locker building, and the doors were sliding open for him.

His eyes met with the small spiky raven-haired boy who was looking up at him startled. The boy truly was gorgeous and his eyes black as ink, drawing him in. He wanted to come closer, and pin him down but before he could, the boy brought his hand up and covered half his face before spinning around and heading towards the exit on the other side.

"Hey you," left his mouth before he even had a chance to think about what he was doing, and he moved forward to try to catch him.

By the time that he was standing where the boy had been before, the boy was gone, and the traces of his power diminished. The boy was not only a powerful submissive, but he could also conceal his power perfectly. Despite the slip ups, it seemed.

Frowning, Itachi thought about that. That boy, the one he had saved was actually a vampire submissive, and God was he driving him nuts.

It made sense now.

Noticing movement from the corner of his eye he turned to the pile of boys in the floor, and crouched down to check on them.

Had the boy fed?

Looking at the teenagers on the floor he noted that no, there were no bite marks.

Feeling himself more confused than before, he decided to go see where he had left Naruto and Kyuubi. It was a more likely chance if Sasuke had run outside, he would bump into them.

Kyuubi and Naruto were panting with the exertion of having to keep up with Itachi and paused to catch their breath.

"What's up with Itachi?" Kyuubi hissed under his breath. Naruto was about to ask what he meant when he spotted Sasuke.

"Sasuke!" he called, looking cheerful. Sasuke paused and look at Naruto.

What was the dobe doing here?

Had he been with the long haired raven?

The one he had just ran away from because, God, Sasuke just realized, the long haired raven was a dominant vampire. An unmated dominant that had been driving him to confusing mood swings, and his heart had nearly exploded at the sight of him.

Frozen, slightly shaking, he looked at Naruto before reaching for Naruto's hand and dragging the blond out of there.

Away from the red headed man, and away from everyone. For all he knew, they were in a high school with other vampires and they didn't even know it! But now the long haired raven also knew, he knew, he was a vampire as well.

Sasuke couldn't even think straight, he was panicking, that man now knew he was a vampire!

Damn.
