Chap.6

Naruto sat, sniffling, on his couch, staring at his supposedly dead partner, who was leaning against the wall in front of him.

"Well,…aren't you going to say something or are you just going to keep staring at me?" The brunet's deep voice filled the air.

"I…I'm just trying to calm down, you know, it's kind of hard to believe that you're really here. I..I'm just so…happy." Tears were spilling out the blonde's eyes once again.

"Man, you're not crying again are you? You're such a dobe." Sasuke stopped leaning again the wall and moved toward his teary friend.

"I..-hiccup- ..I'm not crying, you bastard." Naruto looked up, like a pouting child, at Sasuke, who was now standing right in front of him, smirking due to the familiar banter they shared. A pale hand reached out, gently brushing against the puffy, red, tear soaked skin on Naruto's face. Sasuke couldn't help but think that the blonde's red, sniffly nose and tear swollen face were absolutely adorable. He couldn't tell when it had started, but Sasuke new that he had feelings for his loud mouthed, hyperactive partner, feelings that were far more than that of simple friendship.

"Naruto,…I..ah..I mean,..you do know that I'm a vampire now, right?" Sasuke wouldn't put it past Naruto to be that completely naïve and dense.

The blonde looked up at the raven-haired youth. His blue eyes studied his partner's form carefully. Sasuke's skin was paler than it had been, his eyes seemed more piercingly black, and whenever he opened his mouth, elongated white K9s were visible. Also, when the two had hugged, Naruto could feel that lack of warmth in the brunet's skin.

"Ya,…I figured as much. But…that doesn't matter. All that matters is that you're back." The tears stopped rolling out his blue eyes as the blonde smiled. Sasuke sat down on the couch next to Naruto.

"You can't tell anyone."

"Wha…what can't I tell?" Naruto stared quizzically at the form lounging next to him.

"You can't tell anyone we know that I'm 'alive'."

"B..but why not?" the blonde sputtered, "Aren't you going to come back to work; you know, be my partner again? And I can't just let everyone keep on grieving."

"I'm dead. And if SSA found out that I'm a vampire, they'd have to kill me too."

"They…they wouldn't kill you. We only kill those that kill people…… you didn't eat anyone, did you?" Naruto's eyes widened in possible horror.

"No." Sasuke statedcurtly,noticing the blonde release a deep sigh of relief.

"Say, what are you going to do for food anyway? You can't just go and kill people and you can't survive very long on animals." All hunters were taught that vampires drink human blood because it contains a specific type of hemoglobin that can't be found in animals. So, a vampire can only sustain itself on animals for a limited amount of time before it starves to death.

"I guess…if it isn't totally obscene… I could take little drinks from more people instead of one drink from one person, that way I wouldn't kill anyone."

Naruto was quiet for awhile.

"I..I guess that'd be ok. If you only took a little from each person, and made sure that they wouldn't die, I don't see any alternative."

The Uchiha leaned back on the couch as a silence fell over the two. Naruto felt an uncharacteristic nervousness spread over his stomach.

'Why do I feel so nervous? This is Sasuke. I've never been nervous around him. Sure he changed a bit, but nothing really important.'

Naruto looked back at Sasuke to find the brunet staring at him. The blonde turned away quickly, a faint blush spread across him cheeks.

"W…why don't I go make some tea?" Naruto stuttered and proceeded to get up and walk to the kitchen.

Sasuke noticed Naruto's change in demeanor, hoping that it might mean something. Getting up as well, Sasuke stretched, his arms above his head, pulling his shirt up, revealing a pale stretch of perfectly toned stomach. It wasn't hard to miss the reaction of the blonde. After witnessing this 'accidental' flash of skin, he was sent into a fit of blushing, causing him to duck behind the kitchen counter with a small –eep-. Finding this reaction satisfactory, Sasuke wanted to test his friend some more.

"Why don't I help you with that tea?" A sly smirk formed on the Uchiha's lips as he sauntered into the small kitchen.

"Oh..um, you don't need to do that. I got i…." Naruto turned around to find that Sasuke had made his way into the kitchen. A positively primal and hungry glare shone in his ebony eyes.

"You know, I am getting kind of hungry."

"Ok, what would you li…ohhh……um..you don't mean….ah..i mean…" Naruto began to sweat upon his realization of what Sasuke actually meant. The blonde couldn't pry his eyes away from the coal ones that were getting closer with each beat of his panicking heart. The shorter boy backed up as far as he could go but was stopped by the wrap around counter. Odd feelings were flying through Naruto's stomach, though none of them seemed to be fear.

"If you wouldn't rather," Sasuke's voice has dropped to a sensuously deep tone which made Naruto's skin prickle, "I won't if you don't want me to." He closed the blonde in, placing both arms on the counter on either side of Naruto.

"I…I…," Naruto stared widely into the ebony pools which were dangerously close to his, "..it's fine….g..go ahead." The blonde's stomach felt completely empty as the Uchiha drew nearer. Sasuke's breath on his face sent tingling throughout Naruto's body. The brunet moved to Naruto's neck, breathing in the spicy scent of the blonde. The frantic and rhythmic thumping of Naruto's heart rang clearly in Sasuke's sensitive ears as he got closer to his friend's skin, feeling the heat radiating off the blonde as he lightly brushed his nose and lips on the blonde's neck. Naruto's heart skipped a beat and his breath, which had become very deep, hitched at the new contact. Sasuke brought forth his fangs and sunk them into the tan skin before him. A small moan of pain escaped the blonde's mouth as the vampire drew out warm, scarlet blood. Sasuke wrapped his arms around the boy when the feeling of light headedness began to sweep over Naruto. After a few moments, the pain subsided, leaving Naruto with a sick and fluttering feeling in his stomach due to the unusual predicament he was currently in. Before drinking too much, Sasuke released his bite on the blonde's neck and licked the wound, helping it heal. He maintained his hold on the blonde, feeling that Naruto didn't have the strength to stand on his own. Sasuke proceeded to lift the weak boy, carrying Naruto bridal style to his bed room and placing him on his bed.

The brunet leaned over the shallowly breathing Naruto and whispered.

"Thanks," –smirk-, "sleep tight; I'll be back to check up on you."

Naruto tried to retort but only managed to fall into a heavy sleep; his body electing to recuperate from its anemic state. Sasuke glanced one last time on the sleeping object of his affection before quietly closing the bedroom door.

"goodnight."
