Chapter 5 – Turn on Him

"Naruto?!" Cried Ino. "You're the vampire?!"

All the other people gathered then started whispering to each other and soon a chant went around the circle of people, telling Naruto to get out of school.

"Out! Out! Out!" They chanted mercilessly. "Get out of our school, monster!" Someone yelled. "We don't want you here!" Another brave person added.

Naruto started screaming and crouched in a corner covering his ears, unable to take it any longer. "No…" Naruto whispered before he became unconscious.

Sasuke had just finished using the bathroom and was starting to walk back to his meeting place with Naruto when he heard some yelling coming from the area Naruto was supposed to be waiting.

Sasuke panicked.

He ran at full speed to the shed area when the site that greeted his eyes filled his whole soul with horror. "No! Stop it!" He screamed to the crowd of people that were kicking Naruto's still body around.

When he got there, Sasuke punched and kicked his way through the people in the crowd that wouldn't let him through, until he got right into the middle where he made sure that the people that were hurting Naruto were punished severely.

He ran for Naruto's body, knelt down and started cradling Naruto as a loving mother would a child when some unknown boy plucked up the nerve to talk to Sasuke.

"Hey dude, what the hell do you think you're doing? Don't you know that the guy you're holding is a demon?" He started to put his hand on Sasuke's shoulder in an effort to pry Sasuke away from Naruto when Sasuke turned around with an inhuman speed and snarled at the boy.

"Don't touch me." Sasuke said with a voice that dripped generously with venom. "And if any of you dare to touch my precious Naruto again I'll make sure you will die of the most painful death I can think of. I'll even administer the punishment myself."

With that the people backed away 'piss your pants' scared and scurried off to the far off parts of available lunch area and hid in fear of angering Sasuke again.

Sasuke just turned his full attention back to Naruto, his eyes now empty of hate which was replaced with care. Sasuke laid Naruto out on the softest piece of grass he could find and started to gently tap Naruto's cheek in order to revive him. "Are you okay, Naruto?" Sasuke asked softly. "I took care of the bad people. They won't hurt you anymore… Please be okay…"

Naruto slowly cracked an eyelid open and stared into deep ebony eyes. "Sasuke?" Naruto whispered weakly. "Listen, I have to tell you something-"

"Wait Naruto." Sasuke cut in. "You need rest. Lots and lots of rest. Here I'll carry you to the infirmary. You can tell me later."

After Sasuke left Naruto in the care of Shizune, he walked back to his class.

As soon as Sasuke entered the room he felt that something was wrong… he checked his watch, Kakashi was as late for his class as ever so that wasn't the problem, but he felt a terrible ominous feeling similar to the time when he had accidentally walked into his older brother's room without permission.

He looked around the room after he was seated and found many of his male classmates were glaring at him, which was quite normal he had to admit, but he also saw that quite a few of his female classmates were looking both scared of the other boys and of him.

After a while, even cool-faced Sasuke was beginning to get uncomfortable. "What?" he asked. "Have I got a spider on my face or something?"

"Don't act like you don't know, demon." An almost brutish ape-like boy called out. "We know that you're the vampire. We're not stupid y'know." He got up off his chair with difficulty. "You are the most suspicious here out of all of us after all."

Sasuke just raised his eyebrows and crossed his arms. "What the hell are you talking about?" Sasuke asked.

"Think about it, stupid. You transfer into this school from the only school that was having these "vampire" attacks, and then as soon as you leave, the attacks stop. We've all agreed that Naruto is not the vampire because first off, he doesn't even like black, so he wouldn't have a black journal. Second of all, we have all known him for ages, and he is one of the nicest people we know. If those were the only things pointing to you being guilty, we might of seen your innocence, seeing as I myself would have transferred out of that school if there were repeated attacks but now we got your journal." The unknown boy continued.

"Yeah," said his similar-looking friend, "We're not complete idiots. You and Naruto eat lunch together behind the shed so it only makes sense that, since we've ruled out Naruto from the suspect list, that you are the vampire. I mean, it's so obvious."

Sasuke just smirked at them. "So now the game is blame it on the new guy is it? I had no idea you all hated me this much! I'm just the perfect scapegoat aren't I? Shady background, unknown personality…"

It was then that a few of the girls decided to stand up. "Just because he's new, that doesn't mean that he's evil! You boys are just jumping to false conclusions because you're jealous of him since he's so hot and cool!"

And that was the sentence that sparked the war between the boys and girls of yr 11 that day.

"Who's jealous?! You girls are just trying to keep him here so that you can indulge in your sick fantasies of going out with this bastard! This isn't about us being jealous! It's about you girls, being selfish!"

The rest of Sasuke's week was spent amidst a wide range of girls from all over the school that were bent on protecting him from the boys of the school while Naruto was absent.

Coincidentally, this also was the first and last day that Sasuke thanked God for all of his fan girls.

AN: I'm really sorry I haven't been updating lately but I had writer's block (though I don't write very good anyway) and I've been reading some of the other Naruto fanfictions. I have to say I don't know why you guys are reading my work when there are so many other better writers out there.

Also I can't wait until Eragon the movie comes out in Adelaide on December!!
