A couple of days had passed and it was now the weekend. It was around seven at night and Kakashi was making his way home from the library with about six books in his arms. It would be enough to get him through the weekend since he already had all his homework done. He also kept considering trying to find a job to help out his father but any time he brought it up, his father just told him not to worry about it and stay focused on school. He hated how stubborn his old man was when it came to things like this but he also didn't want to go behind his father's back and try to get a job.

After walking for about ten minutes, Kakashi blinked and looked around. He realized that he had taken a wrong turn and now he was going down a path he didn't recognize right off the bat. The sun had pretty much set so it was practically dark. Normally, Kakashi didn't fear the dark but since he was on an unknown path, he was starting to freak out slightly. He decided to just continue to walk and hope that he would eventually stumble upon a road he recognized.

He felt like he had been walking forever but froze when he heard an ear piercing scream that came from a little ways down. Something in Kakashi's gut was telling him to turn around and run but he didn't listen to it. Instead he forced himself to walk forward in order to see what the scream was. He knew it was probably a bad idea but his curiosity had gotten the best of him. Within a few minutes, he was at the location the scream came from. His head whipped sharply to the left toward a dark alley where he heard someone mumbling for something to stop. Taking a deep breath, he slowly entered the dark path and almost instantly found two people, one a woman and one was nothing more than a dark shadow. The woman looked pale, almost as if she had lost a lot of blood. Kakashi's eyes went toward the figure who was latched onto the woman's neck. The teen was about to say something when the shadow figure suddenly moved and turned toward him. Kakashi couldn't see much of the figure's face but he could see that there was something dripping off of its mouth. When his eyes drifted back to the girl, that's when he saw them. There were two marks on the woman's neck and blood was running from them.

"What the…?" Kakashi muttered softly. Before he knew it, the figure was directly in front of him and pinning him against the all of the alley. He could only stare with wide, horror filled eyes. He could clearly see the figure's glowing red eyes and his sharp fangs that were dripping with blood. Slowly, the figure leaned closer and started sniffing on Kakashi's neck, as if he were trying to take in the other's scent. A low growl escaped from his throat as he pulled back and stared into Kakashi's terrified grey eyes.

"...You're the one…" The figure muttered deeply before he pulled back gave the teen a dark smirk. "We'll definitely meet again…" He said before he turned on his heels and took off into the darkness.

Before he knew it, Kakashi had arrived at his home still clutching his books tightly to his chest. He couldn't shake what he had seen just moments ago. He couldn't believe he had witnessed someone drinking another person's blood. No...not someone, something. Kakashi was sure that the man he saw was a vampire but then again, vampires didn't really exist, did they? It was impossible...wasn't it? Shaking his head, the teen reached out with a trembling hand and slowly opened the door to make his way inside. He was so out of it that he almost didn't register the voices coming from the kitchen. Wait...voices? As in two people talking? Kakashi quickly shook himself out of his daze and made his way into the kitchen. Once in the doorway, he saw his dear father and someone he didn't know. Instead of making his presence known, he just stood there so he could listen and watch the two who had their backs turned to him.

"Really Madara...you don't have to do that for us…" Sakumo said softly. He was washing up the dishes in the sink while Madara was trying to convince him to take some money so he could feed himself and his son. Not only that, he was trying to get the older silver haired male to come and stay with him so the other wouldn't have to worry about himself and his son as much.

"Sakumo. Please take one of the two offers. Either let me give you some money or bring your son and come live with me. You're beyond stressed and now you're having to worry about your son trying to find a job and I know you don't want him to get one because you don't want him to get stressed out as well." The long haired raven replied. Tonight, his eyes were their normal dark color. The vampire knew he wasn't going to be able to take blood from the male he had grown to love. Not while the other was so stressed out. It was getting harder for him to control himself around Sakumo since he was beyond addicted to the other's blood. It had a bit of a spicy taste that drove Madara completely mad with lust and hunger.

"I can't allow either of those, Mada… I really appreciate your offer but we're alright…" Sakumo replied as he finished the dishes and grabbed a towel to dry his hands. He really did appreciate the fact that Madara wanted to help him but he also had a stubborn side and it was going to take more than words alone to get the silver haired male to agree. He knew there was no way Madara would take him by force and maybe he'd agree if Kakashi thought it would be alright but his son still had yet to meet this man.

"Sakumo… Honey, every time I come here you're always about to collapse from exhaustion. What's your son going to do if something happens to you. You're all he has…" Madara's sentence was cut off when he finally sensed that someone else was in the house with them. "Hey...Saku… I don't think we're alone." He said softly. Sakumo just blinked before he and Madara slowly turned around and saw Sakumo's young son standing in the doorway.

Yo. I figured this story deserved an update of some kind. I'm having a difficult time getting chapters published and updated. I feel like I'm losing motivation or something and dang it, I don't want that. , I'm trying really hard to get more things done but ugh. Anyways, Sorry it took so long to get the chapter updated. I'll try to update again as soon as possible. Review if you want too and thank chu for reading! Bye now.
