Crimson Moon

Hinata and Naruto got to class early. 'I hope no one notices the marks…' she thought as she sat down in her seat. Sakura came in. "Hinata, I need to ask you something." She said. "Sure." Hinata said. "What is it?" Sakura waved to her to go outside the classroom. "Be right back." Hinata said to Naruto in an annoyed voice. "Whatever." He said. She and Sakura left the room.

"Hinata, maybe you know this but…Sasuke isn't being himself. Do you have any idea why?" Sakura said. Hinata looked at her confused. "I know, I wouldn't usually ask for help, but Tenten does a lot of research and I thought you'd know something. Thing is, he's been really mean and nasty. He's never like that, so do you have any idea what's wrong with him?" Sakura said.

"Maybe it's just a guy thing. Or since he's part vampire he needs blood." Hinata said.

"That might be it. He hasn't been drinking any blood at all for a week." Sakura said.

"Well the best thing is to get him away from the school and-"

Suddenly they saw Sasuke coming down the hallway. He walked oddly with his head down. "Sasuke!" Sakura said. She was about to run over to him when Hinata stopped her. "Don't. He's lost his mind from lack of blood." She said. "But-!" Sakura said. She saw Sasuke's fangs were longer than usual and his eyes were red. "What do we do?" she asked. "He needs blood in order to calm down." Hinata said. "Then he can take some of my blood." Sakura said. "Not the best idea. He'll drain you dry of every drop of blood if your body if you let him. Right now we need to-" Hinata said.

Sasuke grabbed Sakura's arm. "Let go Sasuke!" she yelled. Hinata quickly took off her cross and went to press it against Sasuke's forehead. He swiped her with his claws and she fell over. She hit her head on the fall the fainted. Sasuke pierced Sakura's neck and she passed out from fright. Before Sasuke could do anything Naruto ran out.

"Idiot Sasuke…" he said. His tattoos started glowing red. He punched Sasuke in the face and he let go of Sakura as he fell over. "Too bad you won't remember this. I'd like to brag about how I kicked your ass, but you'll have no recollection what so ever." Naruto said. Sasuke got up and tried to swipe Naruto, but missed. Naruto hit Sasuke using his powers. Sasuke passed out asleep. Naruto walked over to Hinata and used his powers to wake her up. 'Thank goodness no one's here…' he thought helping Hinata sit up. "Naruto…What happened?" she asked. "I'll explain later. Right now we should get these two to the Nurse's office." He said.

At the vampire hunter base, Neji was practicing his aim in the basement. Kimimaro came down. "Neji!" he yelled over the shooting. Neji stopped. "What is it?" he asked. "Have you seen Sasori? I can't find him." Kimimaro said. "Nope. I thought he was with you actually." Neji said. "If he's going to disappear he should tell us." Kimimaro said. "It's your own fault for making someone like him join. Have any idea where he is?" Neji asked as he reloaded his gun.
"I said something to me earlier, but I was too tired to remember." Kimimaro said.

"Of course you don't remember…"

"Hey! He was talking to me when I was half asleep!"

"Whatever. Doesn't he have a cell phone?"

"Yeah he does! I almost forgot!"

Kimimaro took out his cell phone and dialed Sasori's number. "Do you think he'll answer?" Neji asked. "I hope so." Kimimaro said.

"What is it Kimimaro?" Sasori asked over the phone.

"Where are you?" Kimimaro asked.

"I told you I was going to hunt vampires. Do you ever listen?"

"You can't hunt vampires during the day! Get back here!"

"What's the problem?"

"The problem is that if anyone sees you or a vampire we're going to get in trouble! Our jobs are to kill vampires and keep the fact they exist away from the public!"

"Fine. I'll come back."

"You better!"

"What are you? My dad?"

"Even if I'm not I'm still the oldest and you should listen to me."

"That's some excuse…I'll be there in a few minutes."

Sasori hung up. Neji was quietly laughing in the background. "I can hear you!" Kimimaro said. "Sorry, but it was funny." Neji said still laughing. Sasori got back ten minutes later. "Sasori! I'm going to kill you!" Kimimaro yelled as he came down the stairs. "What? I came right back." Sasori said. "Not the point. You can't hunt vampires during the day. If anyone found out vampires exist and the word got out do you know what would happen?" Kimimaro said. "Um…Something bad…" Sasori said. "Not bad, horrible! If people found out vampires exist vampires would attack whenever they like. We have enough to deal with and something like that wouldn't be good at all. It would be just insane!" Kimimaro yelled. "Would you relax? Jeez! Could you be any more bossy?" Sasori yelled. "I'm just doing my duty as a vampire hunter!" Kimimaro yelled. "Whatever! I'm taking a nap!" Sasori yelled and went to his room. Kimimaro sighed. "Yeah, he's a brat. You don't have to say it it's written all over your face." Neji said. "I'm so glad I don't have to say it…" Kimimaro said.

Hinata and the others got back from school. "Hi everybody!" Kiba said. That was his usual greeting after he got back from school. "Oh! Hi guys!" Neji said. He was reading a book on the couch. "Anything interesting happen?" Tenten asked as she put her backpack down. "Kimimaro and Sasori are fighting like brothers, but nothing really." Neji said. Kimimaro ran up from the basement. "I heard that!" he yelled. "By the way, Hinata, Tenten, can you go with Sasori tonight to hunt vampires?" Neji asked. "Alright." Hinata said. "Sorry, but I have a test tomorrow and I need as much sleep as I can get." Tenten said. "Then just Hinata will go. Hinata, if Sasori does anything wrong stop him." Neji said. "Got it." Hinata said.

Sasori and Hinata walked on the sidewalk at night. "I can't believe I got stuck with you." He said. "I didn't exactly want to be paired with you either. But Tenten didn't come, so get over it." She said. "Whatever…" he said. 'If he is a Hex then I'll see the tattoos on his arms…' she thought. "Hey Sasori, where's your weapon?" Hinata asked. He ignored her. 'Okay…That didn't work…' she thought. "I know there's a vampire base nearby." He said looking at the woods across the street. "We're not going in there Sasori!" Hinata yelled. "Why? You scared?" he asked. "If it's a base there must be tons of vampires in there! We could be killed!" she yelled. "I'll be fine. If you're scared you can wait out here." He said. "As much as I dislike you I can't let you die. Now stop this crap or you're going to be sorry." She said.

"You know if we take out that whole base we'd really be getting rid of those vampires. Do you even care about others? You don't want all those vampires dead?" he said. "I do care. But going in there and slaughtering them isn't right. We hunt them only when they attack, not when they're hiding. If a vampire wants to fit in with humans let them. So let's leave them alone and go." She said. "You're pathetic…" he said. She slapped him in the back of the head. "You're violent." She said.

Two hours later they found an abandoned apartment building. "Let's check here." She said. "Why?" he asked. "It's not a vampire base, but a few vampires do hide out here from time to time." She said. "Whatever. If you want to just kill a few that's fine." He said. They walked in. The apartment building was old and falling apart in some places. Hinata heard light footsteps coming from upstairs and went up. "Wait a sec!" Sasori said and caught up to her. She got to the second floor. "Hello?" she asked. "O-Over here." A teen male voice said. She walked over. "Hinata! Are you insane?" Sasori yelled. A teen with grey hair tied back, black eyes, and black round glasses came out of hiding. He wore a dark purple sweatshirt, black jeans, and white sneakers. Sasori quickly rolled up his sleeve and Hinata saw the Hex tattoos. 'Naruto's guess was right!' she thought.

Sasori only put a cut on the teen before Hinata shot him in the arm. Sasori stepped back bleeding. "Sorry, but that was too far. He didn't do anything wrong and you come at him with your Hex powers. That's just not right!" she said. "Th-Thanks." The white haired teen said as he picked up his glasses. "No problem." She said. "My name's Yakushi Kabuto. Nice to meet you, I think." He said. Hinata saw his glasses were broken. "Sorry about that." She said. "It's okay, but I'm more worried about him." He said looking at Sasori. "I'll be fine. Turns out it was just a cut." Sasori said. "Umm…What're you doing here Kabuto?" Hinata asked. "I uhhh…live here…" Kabuto said. "Why don't you live with other vampires?" Sasori asked. "Well I just don't like the way they do things. I used to live here until Mei's vampires decided to destroy the place. Damn it…" Kabuto said. "Why don't you come with us then?" Sasori asked. "Wait, you two are vampire hunters? I guess so." Kabuto said. "I think we did enough today. Let's go Hinata." Sasori said. "Come on Kabuto." Hinata said. "Got it." Kabuta said as he followed the other two.

They got to the hunter base an hour later. "We're back." Sasori said. "I thought you were going to be out longer…" Kimimaro said. "We found someone and came back." Hinata said. "Hi. I'm Yakushi Kabuto." Kabuto said. 'Try showing more emotion would you?' she thought. "Sasori, can I talk to you in private?" Hinata asked. "Um…Okay…" Sasori said as they went into the upstairs hall. "Okay Sasori, what's with you? What you did back there was uncalled for!" she said. "Me? You're the one who shot me! That was uncalled for!" he said.

"By the way, if you don't tell the others you're a Hex I will, and that will be worse!" she said. "Don't!" Sasori said worried. 'He's worried?' she thought. "Do you think anything was easy for me? If you had any idea you'd be like me too!" he yelled. "What're you two yelling about?" Neji yelled. "N-Nothing!" Hinata yelled. "Come on Hinata." Sasori said and dragged her into his room. He shut the door. "What the hell? You don't drag girls into your room! That's not right!" she said. "I know, I know…But I don't want the others to hear. So please keep your voice down." He said. "Fine, I'll keep my voice down. Now why did you drag me in here? Besides not wanting the others to hear us…" she said. He sits on his bed. "Well since you already know I'm a Hex I should tell you why I don't want the others to hear." She said as she sat in the wood chair by the desk.

"Okay…So why?" she said.

"You know what a Hex is right?"

"Yeah…Now just tell me."

"A Hex is what some call a 'Living sin'. Vampires aren't supposed to give up their immortality for a human. That's just got how it goes. And it's even worse to mate with a human and have a child. A Hex isn't a human or vampire, so both groups look upon us as trash. If anyone in a group of vampire hunters found out about this I'd be killed."

"Alright, I won't tell. But why did you join us then?"

"Well, a Hex has no real place in the world. I thought I'd find somewhere to be, and find maybe a few friends. I needed a purpose or…"

"…you'd kill yourself?"

"Basically."

"Kabuto didn't see anything, probably because he was getting attacked."

"Why did you attack him? I mean as soon as he showed himself you attacked him."

"A long story…"

"Well I'm listening."

He smiled. "Well I guess I'll tell you just the major things. My parents as you might've guessed were a vampire and human. They never wanted me to begin with, but you know…stuff happens. My dad used to beat me, my mom ignored me. I basically had to take care of myself. One day when I was 13 my dad stabbed me, and I killed him using my powers. My mother almost choked me to death, so I killed her too…I stayed at that house until I ran away a year later. I used to steal actually, which is how I got by. It wasn't easy. Then a group of vampires tried to kill me, so like my parents I killed them. I guess the combination of my parents and those vampires is why I hated them so much."

"You won't tell will you?" he said. "No…" she said. "Thanks…And by the way, is Naruto a vampire?" he said. "Y-Yes…Don't tell." She said. "You should stay away from him. I know he's the vampire prince. Just kill him." He said. "No way!" she said trying not to yell. "Don't you get it? Vampires like him aren't good! They're the worst! I bet he's planning on killing you!" he said. "You don't know Naruto like I do. I know you've had a bad experience, but Naruto is different. He's not a full vampire." She said. "Fine, I'll leave your boyfriend alone." He said. He's not my boyfriend…" she said. "Whatever you say Hinata…" he said.

The next few days went usual, well their usual. Hinata woke up early on Saturday to her cell phone ringing. 'Naruto I'm going to kill you!' she thought as she picked up her cell phone. "Hello?" she asked tiredly. "Hi Hinata!" Naruto yelled from the other end.

"What the hell? Do you have any idea what time it is?" she said.

"Um…I think it's around two in the morning."

"Naruto don't call me unless it's an emergency."

"But it is!"

"What?"

"My dad wanted me to invite you over today."

"Naruto, couldn't this have waited until at least 5 o'clock?"

"Well by today, I meant now. You know why. The whole va-"

"I get it. Fine, I'll come over."

"Yay!"

She hung up and got out of the bed. 'Damn it Naruto…You're lucky I don't shoot you…' she thought. She snuck out of her room and left the base. Naruto texted her the location of the hideout and she went there. She got there twenty minutes later to see Naruto outside. "Yay! You're here!" he yelled and hugged her. "Get off me Naruto!" she yelled blushing. He let go. "Sorry Hinata…" he said. 'I can't believe this…' she thought as they both went in. To Hinata's surprise the hideout was quiet, or at least that part of it.

"Cool right?" Naruto asked. "Uh… Sure." She said. "You don't like it?" he asked. "N-No, it's not that. It's just a lot more different than I expected!" she said. "What did you expect?" he asked. Hinata thought for a moment. "A dark evil cave…" she said. "Why'd it look like that?" he asked. "Well Mei's base looked that way." She said. Naruto laughed. "I wouldn't be surprised! She's over 200 years old!" he said. 'That IS old!' she thought. "Um…Where the heck is my dad?" he said. "Why are you asking me?" she asked. "I don't know. Hey Dad!" he yelled.

Minato ran out. "What is it Naruto? An emergency?" he asked. "No! My friend Hinata is here!" Naruto said. "Oh! Nice to meet you Hinata!" Minato said. 'Thank goodness he doesn't remember me…' she thought. "I guess since Naruto brought you down here you know what we are." He said. "Actually Naruto said you wanted him to invite me over. But yes, he told me what you were." She said. "Well you don't need to worry! You won't get hurt!" he said embarrassed. 'Dad you can be an idiot…' Naruto thought. "Um…Maybe we should go outside Hinata…" he said. "Naruto why are you being so mean? You can stay inside I won't bother you t-" Minato said.

The front door burst open. "Great…Orochimaru…" Naruto said. "Who?" Hinata asked. "Get down!" he yelled and got down with Hinata before Orochimaru started shooting. 'This is insane!' she thought. The shooting stopped. Minato used his power to deflect every bullet. "Stupid half vampire…" he said. "What's going on Naruto?" she asked calmly. "Orochimaru is a half vampire. He tries to kill me dad at least once a month." Naruto said. Minato suddenly summoned his sword. "Why won't you die already?" Minato asked. "I'm not dying until you're-!" Orochimaru yelled. Minato quickly cut his arm off before he could finish the sentence. Blood spilled onto the floor and wall. "Just get out of here…" he said. "Next time you're dead!" Orochimaru yelled and ran off.

"I hate his regeneration powers. If he didn't have that he'd already be dead…" Minato said as his sword faded away. Naruto and Hinata got up. "Th-Thanks Naruto…" Hinata said. "No problem!" he said. The rest of the visit was calm. When Hinata got home it was five in the morning. She went right to bed.

The story has 5000 hits? Wow! That's awesome! Anyway, Orochimaru and Kabuto were added. Orochimaru is the pathetic villain in the story, kind of like Zakuro from Saiyuki reload. Kabuto is well… Kabuto…
