Disclaimer: Don't own them, they're K. Masashi's. I've run out of witty things to say, and it makes me sad. Perhaps I shall try and think of a few before my next fic.

Naruto panted as he leaned against a wall, his arm shooting sparks of pain up and down his body. It was broken, and he knew it, but at least he'd succeeded in killing two of the Akatsuki members. If all had gone according to plan, everyone should be out and safe by now, and the Akatsuki should be dead.

He stumbled into the corridor, looking around as blood continued to leak into his eyes. It was pissing him off more than anything, but he knew it would heal soon. First, I need to do something about this arm. He looked down at the bone that was threatening to break skin. It was going to hurt, but it wouldn't heal unless he did it.

Naruto grabbed the bottom of his shirt, shoving it in his mouth before grabbing his left arm with his right hand. He snapped the bottom half of his arm upwards and screamed in agony as he bit down on his shirt, the pain threatening to make him pass out. He leaned against the closest wall as white dots danced in front of his eyes, but his arm was straight again, and he could already feel the bone beginning to heal. The joys of being part-vampire.

The blond stumbled down the corridor, headed towards an exit. As he passed a room, he could smell a hint of blood, which made him freeze. His nose recognized that scent, and he knew exactly whose blood it was. He turned and followed it into the room, his eyes widening as he saw Sasuke slumped against the wall, his eyes closed.

"Sasuke!"

Naruto ran to him and fell beside him, noting the puncture wounds on his neck. Itachi hadn't even bothered to close them. The blond was shaking, his hands hovering over Sasuke, as if not sure what to do. His eyes vaguely registered what was written on the raven's forearm, but his brain was still in panic-mode.

Get him to Tsunade. Get him out of here. He needs blood—needs blood right now!

He grabbed Sasuke in his arms, throwing him over his shoulder. He was about to bolt for the exit when a shriek from Sakura forced him to freeze. A selfish part of him wanted to leave her and save Sasuke, but he knew he couldn't do that. She was his aunt, after all. His flesh and blood.

So, he turned and headed towards the shriek. He reached a set of double doors and her shrieking suddenly turned into words.

"Kakashi! Oh my God, Kakashi! Don't do this to me!"

Naruto stumbled into the room, Sakura letting out a scream of fright before relaxing as she noticed it was Naruto. She looked just as bloody and beat up as he did, but he didn't dwell on it as he saw Kakashi. He looked the exact same way as Sasuke had in the other room, only he didn't have a love note written on his arm in his own blood.

"He's dead." Sakura sobbed. "God, he's—oh my God..."

"No, he's not." Naruto snapped as he rushed across the room. He grabbed Sakura's arm with one hand and pulled her to her feet. "Take Sasuke, he's lighter."

"Naruto—"

"Do it!" he yelled.

Sakura jumped, but did as she was told, pulling Sasuke over her own shoulder as Naruto bent down and grabbed Kakashi. The rosette knew Naruto had lost it. She knew the two men were dead. She just sobbed as she followed Naruto outside, the blond rushing towards their hidden vehicles. It would do no good, but she couldn't say no to him. She couldn't tell him that they should just leave them because there was nothing they could do.

The two men were put in the car as Naruto got behind the wheel and Sakura sobbed in the passenger seat. Naruto drove so fast Sakura was sure he was going to kill them sometimes, but they reached the hospital quickly. Tsunade was called and within seconds, the two men had blood being transfused into them as the doctors and nurses struggled to restart their hearts.

Naruto didn't stick around to see them come back, he had other things to do. When Sakura asked where he was going, all he said was,

"To kill my daddy."

Naruto kicked open the front door of the base they'd just left, walking into the house. His combat boots echoed off the wood as he walked into the middle of the foyer, his hands in his coat pockets. He stopped in the center and waited, already sensing the presence of others around him. It was clear who had died and who hadn't based on those still present. Itachi, obviously, was still there. Deidara was also present, though Tobi was missing, which meant that Hinata had died before killing the second target. Hidan was also there, meaning Ino had died. Shikamaru must've been furious. So many had died—no, they're not dead. They're going to be fine. Naruto clenched his fists. Besides these three, the only one left was Arashi.

"Have you finally realized you can't beat us?" Itachi inquired from the second level, leaning down over the railing. "Have you come to join us?"

"Where's Arashi?"

"Daddy said you could only see him if you get past us." Hidan grinned. "We're not meant to kill you, though, which sucks."

"Makes my life easier, then." Naruto shrugged out of his coat, his black muscle-shirt shifting on his skin as he pulled his Desert Eagle out of its holster.

"You know, Sasuke always believed that angel on your back protected you." Itachi smirked. "Care to prove him wrong? Oh wait, I killed him."

"He's not dead." Naruto replied evenly as he finally looked up at the three vampires, his eyes having been focusing on the floor previously. "He's going to be waiting for me when I get back."

"If you get back." Deidara smirked. "We're gonna force you to turn this time, yeah."

"I don't think so."

"Shall we test this theory?" Hidan started down the stairs, cracking his knuckles.

"You don't want to mess with me right now." Naruto's voice was low, dangerous.

"You forget we're much stronger than you." Itachi reminded.

"It's true. But you're not nearly as pissed off." Naruto aimed and fired, and even with his fast reflexes, Hidan couldn't dodge it completely. The bullet hit him in the arm and he screamed as the whole thing turned to ash.

"You son of a bitch!" He flew down the remaining stairs, running at Naruto. The blond dodged him easily and spun around, aiming and firing into the other's back. Hidan let out a scream before he turned to ash.

Deidara had appeared behind Naruto while his back was turned, grabbing the wrist that held the gun and holding him around the neck with his other hand as he grinned, speaking into the blond's ear.

"Not too bright, are you. What now?"

"You're the one who's not too bright." Naruto reached into the front of his pants and pulled out Sasuke's Sig Sauer, aiming it right over his shoulder and firing. Deidara turned to ash. "But you're smart, aren't you, Itachi?" Naruto turned his head, glancing over his shoulder at the Uchiha, who hadn't moved.

"I know your type. You get mad enough, and you can defeat anybody. Except Arashi, of course."

"He's going to die if I have to kill myself with him." Naruto turned and slowly started climbing the stairs, his eyes locked on the wood he was stepping on. Itachi began to move away from the railing, heading towards the stairs to block Naruto's path.

"You're not nearly mad enough."

"He killed my mother. He killed Iruka. He killed Neji. He almost killed Kakashi. I don't know how angry you think I need to be."

"Much more." Itachi smirked as he stopped in front of Naruto.

"You're treading on dangerous ground, yourself." The blond's voice had changed. It sounded feral, and very dangerous. "You turned Kiba, which lead to his death. And you just almost succeeded in killing Sasuke." His eyes looked up, Itachi trying not to show how shocked he was when he noticed they were red. "Don't think you'll escape judgement."

"Only God will judge me." Itachi smirked.

"God doesn't believe in you."

Naruto lashed out with a stake to stab Itachi in the heart, but the Uchiha dodged it, jumping back a few steps to gain some distance between them. Naruto didn't seem concerned with his miss, replacing the stake where it had been.

"You don't deserve it, but I'll spare your life for now if you get out of my way and let me face Arashi."

"I don't think so." Itachi insisted. "We'll make you turn if it's the last thing we do."

"Fine." Naruto narrowed his eyes, pulling his two guns out again. He aimed them both at Itachi. "Hope you're fast on your feet, Itachi, because I'm going to make you dance."

The Uchiha didn't have time to reply as Naruto began to fire, shooting bullet after bullet at the vampire. He dodged them all really well at first, but he was doomed to die the second Naruto walked through the front door. A bullet ricocheted off the floor and slammed into Itachi's calf, turning his leg to ash from the knee down.

Itachi fell to the ground, grunting in pain as Naruto walked slowly towards him. He looked up at the blond as Naruto stared down dispassionately. "Would you like time to ask for forgiveness for everything you've done?"

"I thought God didn't believe in me." He sneered.

"He doesn't, but it doesn't mean he won't forgive you if you ask."

"Bite me."

"I'm sorry you feel that way."

Naruto fired, Itachi turning to dust at his feet. He looked up, then, his eyes locking on the door at the end of the corridor.

"Can't keep daddy waiting."

He turned and started down the corridor, trusting in his angel. He was going to avenge everyone who'd ever been killed by Arashi. Arashi was going to pay for his sins.

"Some sins can never be forgiven." he said right before he threw open the door.

Arashi smiled as he stood up from him seat at the head of a long dining room table. If Naruto was here, he had killed the others, and thus passed his test. He was truly the strongest vampire in existence other than himself. Well, he's not a vampire yet, but he will be.

"Bravo, little Naruto." He clapped his hands as he walked around the table, his son watching him with his eyes. "I always knew you were stronger than Itachi, you just never showed it before."

"You're acting way too laid back." the blond hissed. "I'm going to kill you, Arashi, and there's nothing you can do about it."

"Oh, come now." Arashi rolled his eyes. "You can't kill me, I'm much too powerful."

"I don't care, you're still going to die tonight."

"We'll see."

The older man didn't give his son time to react. He lunged at him and tackled him to the ground, holding him down with a grin. "Why won't you just make me proud and join me?"

"Fuck you!"

"Oh, that's not something you should be saying." He poked Naruto in the cheek. "What would Father Iruka say?"

Naruto kicked his father off himself, turning onto his stomach and getting back to his feet. He reached for his guns, only to find them missing. Arashi coughed and Naruto looked up before glaring. The bastard had swiped his guns! Doesn't matter, Naruto insisted. I'll still kill him.

Arashi popped the magazine out of the gun, looking at the UV rounds. "These were really his finest invention, don't you think? Kiba was quite useful when he joined our side. I was sad when you killed him."

Naruto clenched his fists, shaking with anger. He wouldn't let Arashi get under his skin. Then again, it might be the best thing for him to do. He needed the anger, because soon, he was going to have to let his vampire abilities go. If he kept his eyes red for much longer, he was going to turn, of that he was sure.

While Arashi was busy taking apart his guns, Naruto pulled one of his knives out and jumped at his father, slashing the air as Arashi dodged the blows. He continued to avoid his son's attacks as Naruto screamed with rage, slashing violently to try and hit Arashi.

Is this what Sasuke felt like when he fought Itachi? Naruto wondered. Even at my best, even when I'm practically a vampire—I still can't touch him. I can't even lay a damn finger on him. It was worrying, and very disheartening. To know that he was meant to avenge all these people, but couldn't.

"I won't let it end like this!" Naruto changed positions to make it look like he was going to slash again, but he jumped at his father instead, tackling the stunned vampire to the floor and slamming the knife into his forearm.

Arashi let out a grunt before grabbing the handle of the knife, the sound of skin sizzling heard throughout the room as he closed his hand around the hilt covered in holy water. "Some sins can't be forgiven!" Naruto hollered in Arashi's face before grabbing his collar and slamming his fist into the vampire's face.

He slapped he knife out of Arashi's hand, knowing he would let it go easily since it was burning into his flesh, and then continued to punch him across the face. When Arashi went to block him, Naruto grabbed his wrist and forced the vampire's hand towards his chest, where he pressed the back of Arashi's hand against his cross.

When the vampire pulled his hand away, Naruto pulled his cross off from around his neck, wrapped it around his fist, and then punched Arashi across the face again. It left a burn in the shape of a cross on his cheek and he let out the first cry he had all night. Naruto continued to punch him across the face, repeating over and over that some sins couldn't be forgiven.

But then, the tables turned, and Arashi kicked Naruto off him before pinning his son to the ground, hissing in his face.

"I've always wondered what your blood would taste like." he admitted. "Do you really want me to find out?"

He started to try and put Naruto under, but because the blond was still in his vampiric mode, it had no effect. Naruto was closer and closer to turning with each passing second. Even his canines had begun to elongate slightly, and Arashi wondered if he would finally succeed in having his son be by his side.

Naruto did the only thing he could think of in that situation. He kicked Arashi in the groin.

As the master vampire gasped and clenched his eyes shut, Naruto rolled them over, but Arashi had enough strength to continue the roll so he was on top again. The two continued to fight on the ground for a few seconds until Naruto hit the railing. He hadn't even noticed they'd left the room.

The blond man checked his watch while trying to keep Arashi's face away from his neck, noting the time. Things were going according to plan. All he had to do now was get them outside. Which was easy, since the next thing he did was roll into the railing as hard as he could so that the two of them broke the wood and fell to the first floor. Naruto had almost hoped one of the wooden beams would conveniently slam into Arashi's chest. No such luck.

They wrestled for a while longer until Arashi kicked Naruto off himself and got back to his feet. Naruto followed suit, stumbling slightly. He was in a lot of pain, but hey, falling from the second level onto a wooden floor will do that to you.

Arashi tried to tackle Naruto, but the blond fought him. He couldn't afford to get thrown away from the front door, so letting out a cry, Naruto shoved hard against Arashi and sent them both crashing through the front door. They landed on the porch and Naruto rolled them until they were on the grass. He finally got Arashi on his stomach under him, sitting on the vampire's back and holding his hands down against the moist grass as he panted.

"How much longer do you intend to stay in that form?" Arashi smirked, his face pushed into the dirt.

"Funny you should mention that." Naruto closed his eyes and forced the red the recede, his canines returning to their normal length.

"Do you intend to let me win, then?" Arashi asked.

"You forgot one crucial thing, asshole." Naruto hissed before wrenching his father's head up by the hair, looking up as well. "Daylight saving's time."

"No." Arashi breathed, horrified, as he saw strips of sunlight beginning to peek over the horizon.

"Have fun in hell, dad."

Arashi screamed as the first rays of sunlight made their way over the horizon, but whether it was in fright or pain, Naruto didn't know. He held the struggling vampire down as his skin began to bubble, and after a few seconds, the vampire had turned to ash, Naruto now straddling nothing.

The blond got to his feet unsteadily before falling back to his knees. I... did it. No way... I actually killed him...

Naruto started laughing. It turned into a hysterical fit of giggles that he couldn't stop, even when he was running out of air and gasping for breath. He continued to laugh, finding it insanely funny that he'd actually succeeded.

He must've stayed sitting in the grass for hours, just laughing, but when he finally calmed himself down, he smiled. He needed to head back to the hospital. He was sure Kakashi, Sasuke and Sakura would want to know. And he couldn't wait to see Sasuke again. After the night they'd just had, he definitely needed to fuck.

Then I better go to church, he thought with a wince. He'd said a lot of bad words during their battles, and he wasn't proud of himself.

So, with all this in mind, he got to his feet and headed back towards his car. He got behind the wheel and drove to the hospital with a grin on his face. He ignored the fact that he was covered in dirt and blood because, honestly, it didn't even matter. He parked his car and practically skipped into the hospital, going up to the third floor. When the elevator doors opened, he could see Sakura sitting in the waiting room with her face buried in her hands. Tsunade was right beside her with a hand on Sakura's shoulder.

"Sakura!" Naruto exclaimed happily as he rushed towards her.

The rosette looked up at him with tears streaming down her face.
