Hey there, I'm sorry for how long this chapter took but you know what they say:
You can't rush Art
Anyway I thank you for all the positive comments I've received on this story so far.
Some people have wanted me to kill off Sakura and Sasuke and to reply to this I have only one thing to say:
NOOOOOOOOOO WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!!!!
They are practically my second favourite couple so I'm sorry Sakura bashers but I'm going to sink your boat
………….
Moving along I would also like to apologise for the chapter mix up a while ago.
Let's just say I was in a rush and didn't look both ways before crossing…
It was Messy.
So anyway enough prattle enjoy the chapter.

Naruto stood there, in the sewer like prison of Kyuubi, and as he stood there he also wondered why the giant Demon Foxes face was contorted into something that resembled a smile.
"Don't just stand there Kit, you and your girl pull up a chair." Kyuubi said.
'My girl?' Naruto looked to his left and saw that he wasn't alone, Hinata was standing right beside him, clutching his hand and staring in awe at the great fox. Naruto had to smile at her expression.
Kyuubi also laughed. "Perhaps this will make things easier."
Instantly two of the Fox's tails lashed through the bars of the cage, wrapped themselves around both Hinata and Naruto and pulled them into the cage.
"What the!?" Naruto said.
The next thing they both knew, they were both sitting at a round table that had a whirlpool design on it, the same as the symbol on Naruto's clothing. But they were not the only one sitting at it.
A woman sat across from both of them. Her fiery red hair was pulled back into a ponytail that went to her waist, her eyes were burning red and slitted, she was wearing a kimono the same colour as her hair but it also had a deep blue flame pattern around the sleeves and base. Also on her face were six whiskers, three on each cheek (familiar?) and she had two furry orange ears on top of her head. Upon seeing their stunned faces she smiled at them.
"What's the matter kit, didn't think I had a human form?" Even her voice was much softer now but still full of cheek. Naruto was struggling for words.
"N-no," He tried to sound calm, but was failing miserably. "But aren't you supposed to be well… a guy."
The female Kyuubi let out a laugh that sounded unearthly and Naruto and Hinata could see the points of her fangs. Naruto shifted closer to Hinata.
"Yes, a common misconception, unfortunately most shinobi assume that because I'm so powerful, I must be a male. Sexist idiots." She added.
Naruto and Hinata didn't say anything; they just kept staring at the new Kyuubi. Needless to say Kyuubi was having a rather difficult time trying to keep her laughter down; the looks on the two young vampires' faces were almost identical.
'How Kawai' Thought Kyuubi but she decided to move on to more pressing matters.
"So Kit," She started, "I brought you down here so I could answer your questions, so… hurry up."
Both Naruto and Hinata snapped out of their haze.
"Um, Okay," Naruto said. "Uh… first, what the hell is going on?"
His face, as he was asking, suddenly regained a panicked look as he remembered what had happened in the last few hours.
Kyuubi was now looking worried (OMG the apocalypse has begun).
"I'm sorry Naruto," she said, "But, as Hinata told you earlier, you now are now one of the undead, geez I hate that term, dark immortal would be much better."
"But why is it that Sakura still had me hunted so badly?"
"You already know, it's because I'm sealed inside you."
"But why do they want you?"
"Because they believe that unsealing me, I will lead them to conquer the other countries?"
"Will you?"
"Of course!" Kyuubi looked insulted. "You can't expect that after seventeen years imprisonment, I wouldn't want revenge on this world for what happened…"
"What, what happened?" Naruto said.
"Uh, nothing, nothing" Kyuubi was sweating anime style.
"Um okay." Naruto decided to drop the issue. "So next just when is this 'Unsealing' going to happen, anyway?"
"Oh, should be by the next full moon, which is in about three day's time." Kyuubi said thoughtfully, she then added a smirk. "Don't worry, it won't hurt too much."
Naruto gulped and Kyuubi laughed. He decided to continue.
"So how exactly am I supposed to deal with being a vampire," Naruto's panic returned. "I don't know how to feed, where do I sleep and how am I going to act around Sakura who practically hates me.
"Naruto." He looked beside him at Hinata who was smiling. It was the first time she had spoken since they had entered Kyuubi's home. "You don't have to worry, I teach you how to feed, you'll be sleeping with me," At this Kyuubi whistled and Naruto turned red, Hinata grinned. "You are my mate remember and also don't worry, Sakura still sees you as her old friend it's just she's just become very good at hiding it, the reason she was looking for you wasn't just because of Fath… I mean Mother Kyuubi."
"Uhh, okay, great." Naruto said grinning and scratching the back of his head.
"Well you seem pretty cool with this kit." Said Kyuubi.
Naruto blinked. "Huh?"
"You know, with the whole thing of becoming a vampire, having two years of your life wasted, having to learn our ways…"
"Uh, Mother Kyuubi," Hinata said, "With all due respect I think that's enough."
She pointed to Naruto who's eyes were wide.
"Uh…Anyway I'm sure your going to be a lot… happier now," Kyuubi said Sweat-dropping. "S-so, anything else to ask?"
Naruto decided to just forget it. "Yeah, I want to know what the whole point was behind the 'Vampiric Takeover'.
Kyuubi's ears perked up. "Ah, a history lesson, the last thing I thought you'd be interested in Kit," Naruto glared, Kyubbi laughed. "Ah well, might as well, feel free to add anything, Hinata." Hinata nodded getting more comfy on her seat. The table surface in front of them then dissolved to be replaced by some sort of tabletop TV.
"Okay, well here's what you know…"
The screen flicked on.

Flashback:
Naruto was walking along the streets of Konoha, thinking of heading towards his favourite ramen stand. As he walked passed a group of people who were talking, he heard something interesting. "What do you mean missing?" said a woman with pink hair, Naruto recognised her as Sakura's mother. "Like I said they weren't in her room." Said Ino's father."But how could they just disappear?" Sakara's mother protested.
"You're sure they were in there when you went to bed, Inoichi?"
"Of course I am, they were all in there, Ino, Sakura, Hinata, Ten Ten, Temari, all of them."
One of the names sparked something in Naruto and he decided to stick his head in.
"Hey what's going on?" He said walking up to the group.
"You Demon Boy, you're the reason for this, where is my daughter!" Hiashi rounded on Naruto.
"Calm down Hiashi," said Ten Ten's father stepping in front of Naruto. "How could Naruto kidnap five skilled kunoichi all by him self.
Hiashi made to move but Inoichi and Chouza held him back.
Once Hiashi had calmed down, Ten Ten's dad turned back to him.
"Naruto," he said. "You haven't seen the girls at all today, have you?"
Of all the parents of the Rookie Nine, Ten Ten's father was the one who respected Naruto the most, since Ten Ten had been an orphan when he took her in, he knew how Naruto felt.
"No," Naruto said puzzled, "Why?"
"Well," Said Inoichi while still holding Hiashi's arm. "They all came around for a sleepover last night and when I went to wake them for breakfast this morning, their beds were empty and the windows open."
"How could that happen?' Naruto said, his head tilting to one side.
"Because you're the one who…" Hiashi started to yell but was cut off when Chouza wacked him on the head.
"Maybe they just got up early." Said Naruto
"No, Ino rather messy if you can believe it, she would have left some evidence behind if she, heaven forbid, snuck out.' Said Inoichi.
They were just discussing what else could have happened when Shikaku raised his hand.
"Um…" He said. "Not meaning to interrupt but, what is that?"
He pointed towards the Hokage monument of which half, it seemed, was covered by a black mass and was steadily making its way down towards the village. As it reached the hokage tower there was a moment's pause before the whole thing exploded.
"Holy crap, the Hokage." Chouza breathed.
"Tsunade!" Sakura's mother yelled and pelted off towards the scene.
"Ayame!" yelled Inoichi and he Hiashi, Chouza and Shikaku took off after her.
Naruto made to follow them but he was held back by Ten Ten's father.
"This way Naruto." He said.
"But Granny Tsunade…" Naruto blanched
"The Jonin will help her, for now we've got to get everyone to the shelters
The only thing that Naruto had time to register as he was pulled away by Ten Ten's dad was that the only thing left of the Hokage monument that wasn't covered in black was the face of the Yondaime and five figures standing on top of it.

"Wow" Said Naruto. "I never thought I could remember things in such detail."
Kyuubi then whacked him on the head. "You don't, that's my memory. I saw this through your eyes."
'Great' Naruto thought. 'I trade one head-bonker for another.' (The other being our favourite pink haired Kunoichi in case you hadn't figured it out)
'So, you going to continue?" He said massaging the bump.
"Nope."
"Nope, wadda ya me 'Nope', you haven't even started yet."
"Sorry Kit" Kyuubi said, "But I'm late for my nap and your starting to look a little… Hungry.
"Forget that, I wanna here more." Naruto said standing up.
"Naruto." He looked at Hinata. "I just remembered Sakura wanted to see you as soon as you woke up.
"Don't worry Kit, I'll tell you more tomorrow morning."
"Morning?"
Kyuubi sighed. "You're a Vampire now, You'll be sleeping during the day from now on."
"Oh right, I knew that." Kyuubi fell anime style but Hinata just giggled.
"Oh go on get outta here." Kyuubi said and her tails wrapped around the two and they were flung out of the prison.

Naruto and Hinata awoke panting back on Hinata's bed. They lay there for a few minutes before getting Hinata remembered what they were supposed to do.
"Naruto." She said "we've got to go see Sakura now."
"Do we have to?" Naruto was not looking forward to this, Sakura was now, after all, not exactly someone he count on the list of those who were fond of him. He had lead numerous rebel acts against her in the last two years.
"Yes." Hinata said matter-of-factly as she grabbed Naruto by the hand and lead him from the room.
Naruto was lead through all the vast halls by Hinata, every vampiric servant turn to look at them and as they reached the doors to the throne room, only one thing was going through Naruto's mind: "I'm Screwed."

Again I leave you craving for more.
Didn't want to put the whole back-story in just now, too early
Maybe in chapter six if you're good.
