The night had crept up on them and allowed all the bats to roam free into the moonlit sky. Kiba and his two friends, changed into their wolf forms and went out for a howl while the moon was still around. Sakura was resting easily with her new found boyfriend, Sasori, while Sasuke and Naruto had their little talk of their current lives. Naruto was still unsure about Sasuke and kept his distance a bit but not as much as to sit on a chair and let Sasuke sit on the bed.
"Where should I begin?" Sasuke really did not know how these things worked, so it never hurts anyone by asking.
"At least tell me when and where you were born" Naruto didn't mean to sound bored, but it was ten O' clock at night and he made a promise to himself that he would have a ten O' clock curfew.
"Well I was born a hundred and nine years ago in the U.S. and my mother married a Japanese man and decided to move to Japan with him...he was OK as a father, but I loved my real father more, I was only around twelve years old when our father started acting strange...his skin was pale and he had black eyes.
He tried to kill our mother a few times by biting her...I knew there were such things as vampires but I thought they only existed in the movies and legends. Our mother was devastated at the thought of leaving our step father but left with great pride and took us away from that house and that town...and we made a home here"
"What happened to your mom then?"
"She disappeared...she left my bother and I in the care of a nanny and...never returned...she said she was going shopping and she even took some money with her, I could tell she was not lieing. But when she didn't come home, the nanny, which was Hinata, started to worry and asked Kiba if he could look for her...he found her biting a human after tracking her scent down. Instead of leaving the mansion Itachi and I stayed and allowed Kiba to bring her back with him.
Her eyes were the same as our father's and her skin was colder than ice itself. She was usually very good at keeping herself away from us and stopped herself from biting us...that's how much she loved us. But then...we never knew another vampire lived here and...a crazy one at that. He attacked Itachi and that's how he turned. That crazy thing came after me but...mother stood in the way and instead of continuing his attack on me, he started attacking our mother and they both killed themselves"
"How did Kiba tell you that your mom was there and...how did you turn?" Naruto was starting to get even more curious about the man.
"Neji passed the new onto Hinata and she told us. As for turning...my brother bit me out of anger and...I passed out...no pain...no memory loss...just betrayal of a brother and a new life"
"Sounds like a harsh life compared to mine"
"Out with it, where were you born?"
"Here obviously"
"So what's your story?"
"Born and raised here, been passed around like a basket ball through a bunch of families, then when I was around sixteen my latest family threw me out after beating my leg with a stick from their backyard"
"Why didn't you report them?"
"Although a teen can not live on their own on the street, I knew that they could afford a lawyer where as I can't"
"Cruel family...what about Sakura, how did you become friends?" Naruto was now getting into the conversation and was now sitting next to Sasuke.
"She was my friend from when we were six or seven, got into so much trouble back then. Her and I were like bank robbers, looking around for our next crime. We got caught by a police man, throwing bricks out into the street just so we could join some little gang that the other kids said we could join...he brought Sakura home but when I told him I didn't have a family, he just tossed me out of the back seat and onto the pavement, boy did my butt hurt after a while, then a few days later, I found out Sakura had moved. But we met up again in high school and were inseparable ever since" Naruto had a big grin on his face as if he won the jackpot.
"Why would someone be so cruel to a beautiful creature as yourself..." Sasuke stroked the side of his cheek and drew closer to him.
"Such cheesy lines to say, just-" Naruto's mouth had shut up as soon as his mouth hit Sasuke's.
Sasuke's eyes were closed, and he concentrated mostly on the taste of the other man's mouth. The kiss was just as passionate as any other couple's kiss would be. Naruto had never considered himself gay but he never thought of himself being with a girl other than Sakura or Hinata but both were his friends and were nothing more than that. But this man, a man that was over a hundred years old and a vampire, had managed to capture his attention.
At first he thought, oh look, it's a strange man that lives with his brother and is as rich as a celebrity. But it was totally unexpected when Sasuke had told him that they only stayed here but never owned it. And since people are too afraid of the legends and tales, they were never disturbed and had lived in peace among the bats and the spiders.
He felt at ease knowing that he did have a father and mother who loved him till they died and that he had found his place, the place where he truly belonged. But he wondered about some of the friends who he befriended in high school and the friends who he graduated with. Would he ever see them again if him and Sakura lived there?
The answer was unknown to him, but if he truly loved this person in front him, then he would give up his life just to be with him. His heart had already exploded after Sasuke had his mouth on his. Naruto's tongue could feel the enlarged fangs that were tucked inside his mouth, they felt so clean and plaque free as if he had just gone to the dentist.
They both opened their eyes on cue like they were in a romantic movie, playing the lead roles of Jack and Rose on Titanic. Sasuke kissed the side of Naruto's neck but he did not back away like last time and allowed the man to taste him.
"Soft skin...as soft as a kitten" Sasuke spoke and kissed the side of Naruto's cheek.
"Let us go then my love, we shall announce your confessions to the council"
"Say what?"
"Your love toward me has captured my soul and perhaps you've even put me in my own trance, I will protect you from the council while queen Velda states your innocence"
"Wait, we're going to court?"
"Unfortunately yes, the council will in a few days, call for a hearing of the boy claiming to be the last ruler's son"
"But I never claimed anything" Naruto was dumbfounded and was led into the hall, down the red carpeted stair case.
"Even though it was I who spoke to queen velda of you and the ruler's relations, how would I have known unless a certain someone told me"
"Oh.."
"Manku ra, alah mash, to the council of the vampires!" Naruto raised both his arms and protected his face as a big swarm of bats surrounded them.
The swarm of bats carried them a bit off the floor, but after the bats flew away, Naruto found himself in a different place. He was next to his beloved, but the place crept him out. There were no buildings except for one large building that stood tall in the dark, nothing else was beside it or in that fact, anywhere near it. The trees that used to stand as tall as the empire state building, were now as tall as a rock from the stone hedge. Leaves were scarce, as if winter had come but there was no trace of a snowfall or any white mountains of snow around. Sasuke held tight to Naruto's hand and did not look over at anything that stood around them.
The doors they went through were made out of oak wood and was made to look like a dungeon door. The inside looked better than the outside and had very beautiful curtains that looked like it was pure silk. Boards had covered all the windows and were only noticeable if something or someone pierced a hole through one of the boards. The floors looked as if nothing could dirty it up. The walls had a very relaxing color and it seemed very pleasant to live in.
"Um...Sasuke...sorry to bring this up but uh...I have to go..."
"Go, but we just got here"
"Not that 'go', the you know..." Naruto pointed it out with his head and Sasuke sighed, took his hand and led him to a small plant that was already dead and looked away.
Naruto finished half a minute later and the two of them continued their little stroll toward the council court room. They could hear sounds of people clapping and saying 'here here'. The men and woman vampires, all looking to be either adult or teen, stopped their shouting as the two of them stepped into the room. It was just like the real version of a court room, the judge, the jury and the witnesses, only these witnesses looked as though they were a mob of angry vampires. And straight ahead, sitting next to the judge was queen Velda, holding an old porcelain doll in her hands like a little girl.
"Sasuke-kun, a very pleasure it is to see you again, how did you know I would call for you?" Naruto clung to Sasuke's side as the young vampire replied.
"Lucky guess" Sasuke led Naruto to a clear table and sat down with him.
"The court, is now in session, Sasuke Uchiha, has brought in the son of the last ruler...the boy will now speak out why he should live" Naruto gulped and Sasuke pushed him out his side of the bench and ushered him with his eyes to go and sit in the chair.
Naruto took in a big breath and walked over to the stand, not glancing at those around him. The judge looked over to queen Velda and she took at least five sheets of paper from the judge and hopped down onto the floor. Her eyes were a deep shade of red but Naruto did not seem so afraid of her as he was with everyone around him. Velda took a few steps toward him and looked him in the eye.
"Do you...Naruto Uzumaki...wish to stay alive?"
"Yes"
"What reasons do you have for staying alive?"
"I...I have so many reasons but...the main reason is to...stay close to the one I love the most" Velda's smile quickly appeared and she scrunched the papers up and tossed them into a garbage can.
"And what a very good reason it is too...would we all not feel bad if we knew we were dieing without sharing an imortal life with our beloved ones?" Most of the woman nodded to what velda was saying.
"What other reasons are there my nephew?"
"Well...getting to know my aunt would be another and...letting my friends know that I'm OK"
"Then I count this case...closed, Naruto Uzumaki shall remain alive and live well among his new found love"
"But hold on a minute!" A man with short, white and shaggy hair spoke out in an angered voice.
"Yes?"
"This guy is a human, he can never be in love with a vampire!" The other vampires cheered the man on as the judge tried to get them into order.
"Weren't we all humans at once upon a time ourselves?" The vampires were quiet once again.
"Did our last ruler...kill the mother of Naruto because she was in love with a vampire?"
"As a sister to my deceased brother...I curse all those who helped kill him and his wife, once a vampire, always a vampire. And if a human falls in love with us...you can not help it if you're beautiful or you attract them to you. But to kill a fellow vampire and the ruler at that, just for giving his love back to a human, is an outrage and a crime and sends a bad sign to newcomers of the vampire society!"
The people cheered again and Naruto was asked to step down from the stand. Without stopping, he ran over to Sasuke and hugged him as tight as a red string would be around a person's finger. Tears had formed in his eyes and he had no idea why. Sasuke glanced over at queen Velda and noticed a smirk on her face before she vanished in a cloud of bats.
A/n: I really don't want to go to school tomorrow but...ah well, the more it snows, the more I'll be happy and write more, don't click that mouse, I'll be right back!!
