Author's Note: Sorry for taking so long to update. Unfortunately I tend to suffer from extreme writer's block and sometimes have trouble getting my chapters out quickly (ok, so that happens most of the time.) I'm really glad my reviewers liked my first chapter! One thing I'd like to request though is that those who put this story on their favorites or update list, PLEASE REVIEW TOO! I tend to run out of ideas quickly so any suggestions whatsoever are extremely helpful! Enjoy!

Chapter 2

Hinata hummed to herself as she walked down the corridor leading to the family's main meeting room, her mind still filled with happiness over the events of the previous night. One of the side doors suddenly opened and her cousin Neji stepped out.

"Hinata. We need to talk." he said seriously.

Hinata looked at him with worry, "Okay." she nodded.

Neji sighed, "I know about where you've been going at night."

Hinata gasped and fear filled her eyes, "N-Neji p-please. Y-you can't t-tell anyone!"

"It's my duty to keep you safe. That's why I'm telling you to stop now, before I'm forced to tell your father." he said.

"B-but…" Hinata faltered.

"Listen to me Hinata. Whatever he's told you, he's nothing but a devil. He's only using you because of your status. No doubt he wants to learn out clans secrets."

"That's not true! H-he's never once asked me about our clan a-and… I-I-I…" Hinata started to cry, "I love him…" she whispered.

Neji's eyes hardened, "I'm warning you Hinata, stop this now. He's a vampire! He's our clan's enemy. Your purpose in life is to slay his kind."

Hinata bit back a sob before running down the hall back to her room. She collapsed on the bed in a heap and let her grief overtake her. She cried for what seemed like hours, thinking about what Neji had said to her.

"Naruto…" she whispered.

Naruto glanced at the clock propped up on a cardboard box in the corner of the room. Just about half an hour until sunset…

"How long do you plan on staying here? It's been too long already. We need to move on."

Naruto looked over at the black haired boy sitting across the room.

"You can leave anytime you want Sasuke. I won't stop you." Naruto replied.

Sasuke sighed, "Idiot. Do you really think you'll last much longer here? I'm surprised we haven't already been caught. I guess the infamous Konoha isn't as dangerous as they say."

"Or maybe it's just that the hunters are too relaxed here."

Naruto looked over at his other companion, "No, I'm sure they know we're here. After all, someone has trouble controlling himself…"

The red head smirked, "To each his own. Just because you don't like to kill doesn't mean I can't." he licked his lips.

"You really should try to cut down on your kills though, Gaara. It would seem less suspicious if they stopped finding a fresh corpse every night." Sasuke chided.

Gaara just shrugged and leaned back against the wall with his eyes closed.

Naruto sighed and resumed his staring at the clock, hoping to somehow make it go faster. He knew Hinata would already be waiting for him. She said she liked to watch the sunset near the waterfall. Not for the first time, Naruto wished he could watch it with her. He had been turned when he was only seven. He had no memories about who he was before then. Sasuke was his blood brother and the closest thing to family he ever had. His older brother Itachi had apparently turned both of them. Gaara was a different story. Naruto and Sasuke weren't sure what his background was and neither was going to ask. They had met him four years ago after Itachi disappeared on them, and they had been together ever since.

Gaara had a tendency to kill his victims, and although Sasuke and Naruto tried numerous times to persuade him not to, his bloodlust could not be quenched. Sasuke would occasionally kill too, but only in areas where it was harder for them to get caught. Unlike Naruto, he had no qualms about killing. Naruto was the only one in the group who refused to kill. He had killed once when he was ten years old and immediately vowed to never do it again. He could still remember the woman's lifeless eyes staring up at him while her blood ran down his chin. The memory made him shiver for a moment.

Finally, the alarm clock went off, signaling the sunset, and the three vampires made their way out of the underground room. It was actually the basement of an abandoned building, but it served their purpose.

Naruto made his way to the waterfall and was surprised when he saw Hinata wasn't there. 'Something must have kept her.' he thought.

He turned quickly when he heard the rustling of leaves. He backed away a few steps when a boy with the same eyes as Hinata entered the clearing. He was wearing an expression of absolute disdain, and he was holding a stake.

Author's Note: I meant to make it longer but I had a really hard time writing this chapter. Once again, any suggestions are greatly appreciated! It helps me keep this story going so please tell me what you'd like to see! Review!
