The Magic of the Dance
Chapter 2
The mate discovered
You must be happy now…human.
Here I am sitting in class like an idiot.
But thankfully I got out of teaching today for I am having the class read three chapters of Much Ado about Nothing by Shakespeare. Damn I had really great lesson plans for today too.
Damn I am blushing again.
Damn…I am saying damn a lot.
So instead of looking like a total spaz…I decide to start really looking at my intended. The one word to describe him would be… adorable. His hair is the color of gold and it seems to defy gravity but you know what it works…
This boy named Naruto has some amazing eyes. They are such a clear blue it is hard to describe them. And you know he has the cutest scars on his face…three whiskers like scars that are only a little darker than his normal complexion. There are three on each side of his face.
The sad thing is that he is a boy. I mean what does a thousand year old vampire talk to a boy about? Oh wait I know…we could discuss the fine works of Beethoven or you're going to love this one human…how about we talk about how Michelangelo's works are not as well preserved as they could be. And how much I enjoyed watching him make the statue David…yeah we have a lot to talk about.
Why a boy?
Maybe there is something in his school records that will lead me to find out more about him and what makes him worthy of being a mate…
I mean I don't want to sound conceited but really…human if you are laughing at my predicament then stop.
I mean it STOP!
I know you are thinking that I deserve it for some crazy reasons… aren't you? Okay…maybe back when my coven was still considered a clan I might have done some irrational (maybe they were a little bit cruel) things but nothing I could have done makes this right…
Alright maybe when I was playing Ninja back about 300 years ago…I may have had a little too much fun but that doesn't mean that I deserve this…
God…I really want a pizza with garlic crust…yes human that is my comfort food…everyone has their vices.
Oh well… nothing can be done until I can learn more about him and I will have my friend Kakashi find out what he can about my intended.
Yeah… now I have a plan…I will talk to Kakashi… maybe this weekend and then I will try to figure out what I am supposed to do…
Ha…can you imagine?
I go up to this kid and say…
'By the way kid… since you look like you have nothing going on today…why don't you become a mate to a cranky 1000 year old vampire?'
Yeah…
That sounds like a winner…
In face…that's going to be my new pick up line…
Damn!
This is really sucks.
I mean why me?
Great…now I sound like a whiny little bitch.
And apparently I can cuss pretty well.
I can't help it…this situation is not that favorable…but right now what I want to do is lay my head down and take a long nap…yeah know a really long nap…say a hundred years or so. I haven't had that urge since the Edo period. And that urge came because I was sick and tired of my uncle.
Wait!
Hold human…
My intended is raising his hand…
"Yes…may I help you, Mr. Uzamaki?" I want you to know that I said that very calm, cool and collected.
My mate to be looks at me and blushes.
"Uh…Mr. Hyuga…after we are done reading the chapters what are we supposed to do?" asked the boy.
Okay…
That didn't take him long to read. Huh…
What is he? A speed reader or something?
I raise an eyebrow at him and give him a…what I hope is… warm smile.
We vampires can be pretty intense sometimes.
"Well, Mr. Uzamaki, you could continue with the story…or sit there quietly and wait for the bell to ring you to your next class"
The young man looked at me and smiled. Wow…that smile could brighten my darkest day…or in my case night.
Wow…I really have no idea what one does with one so young.
Okay human…I know what that sounded like…so get your head out of the gutter.
What I mean is besides…well you know.
Good grief…between you and my very young mate to be…this could really be the end of me. I know…I know I am sounding like a baby but damn…what's a vamp supposed to do?
Here I am stealing glances at a boy who is but a child. And the fact that my soul had decided that he is the one makes me…well uncomfortable in the least.
There is nothing that we could have in common…I mean really what am I supposed to say…what will our conversations be about?
I know what you are thinking human…
Buck up and be a man and get over it. Find out everything I can about him and then approach him. Well…for your information…I plan to do that but can't someone of my elderly age feel a little bit shocked? I mean come on what kind of story would I be telling you if I was like…
'Damn that kid is my mate-to-be now I should just jump his bones'
I mean that would be sort of a boring story if I told you that…not to mention that maybe that young man deserves more than that. That young man surely didn't wake up today and decide that he was going to be a mate…or a soon to be mate to an old vampire.
That is just ridiculous…
My eye's wanders to the clock on the wall…sad but I am looking forward for the class to be done. This stress can't be good for my heart…well…if I had a beating heart that is…
I know that now you are thinking that this chapter is all about me bitching…
Well you would be correct. I am allowed to have at least one chapter where I can complain about my situation.
Oh my God…I just had a thought…Sasuke is never going to let me live this one down. He is going to tease the fuck out of me…I guess that I shouldn't have messed with him so much.
But as the saying goes payback is a bitch…and its name is Sasuke. Man…this day just keeps getting better and better.
Oh well…nothing to be done about it now. All I have to do is make it through this class and then the rest of the day will be cake.
Or at least I hope that it will be…
I just have to keep that in mind…
Time will march forward whether we want it too or not. And eventually this class will end then I can call Sasuke and have him start the investigation…after he rags my ass for awhile.
Yah know what human…looking at my intended. I have to say that there is something just not right about him.
A boy his age shouldn't be that small…in fact knowing how much of a bottomless pit teenage boys are…he shouldn't be that much under weight.
Now that my brain as begun to accept the fact that he is going to be my mate…I am actually realizing something is not quite right.
Remember what I said about his weight…well his height is a bit off also. He isn't short like normal…I can't explain it human…but being a vampire has its advantages and one of the advantages is the ability to tell when things are natural or when they are forced. And my instincts are saying that something about my mate to be isn't natural…my instincts are saying that something is not right…
What I am trying to say is that I have finally calmed down from my bitch session…for which I apologize …and now my instincts are going a little crazy.
I mean if you could see all the other students in the class…even the ones who would be considered on the smaller side just don't have…
I really don't know but something isn't right…
And as this young man's intended mate I will find out what is going on.
Human… do you ever have days where you swear it was just a bad day to get out of bed? Well, I think that I will consider this one of my day's…
But I will find out what is going on…one way or another. And really you don't want to know what my other way is…it is not pretty.
We vampires have quite a temper…when we feel that someone is getting wronged or hurt in some unjust way. I know what you are thinking…human…your thinking 'well you suck our blood…why should you care'…yeah you would think that but you have to realize that we do not have the same sensibilities as you human do…which can be a good thing.
For if we were bothered by things such as what you human are…we wouldn't be able to take your blood but as you human's don't like it when someone kicks a small puppy…we don't like it when the small ones of your species gets hurt.
And with that in mind…you can maybe understand where I am coming from.
Well…look at that…time fly's when you bitch and complain.
Finally…five minutes until class is over.
I look at my students…and yes I looked at my Naruto again. I just can't help myself…I really wish you could see how cute he looks.
AAAAWWWW…
Would you look at that…he is chewing his pencil eraser. That is so cute.
OOOOhhhh…God stop me now! I am gushing…
Now I can see why Sasuke thinks it's cute when Shikamaru does that thing with his hands. This mating thing makes us stupid. Alright not stupid…how about annoying. Because you guys have to be getting annoyed with me right now…hell…I am annoying myself.
And to do that takes talent.
I let out a big sigh…
"Alright class…finish those chapters and then go on…do at least three more chapters before tomorrow…we will be discussing them at length when we meet again…now have a great rest of the day" talk about timing. The bell finally graces us with its ring.
My students start leaving…all except one…give you one guess on which one it is…
"Yes…Mr. Uzamaki…can I help you?" I stand up to stretch my body before the next class.
"Uh…sir…I already finished with the other chapters. In fact sir I have already read this story and I was wondering what else you would like me to do" said the cute and apparently smart blond.
I grace the young one with a smile. Okay I didn't grace him but I have to sound a little bit…what's the word…mature.
Alright you were thinking arrogant weren't you…well I wasn't…okay maybe I was thinking arrogant but hell this is my story and I can tell it anyway I want.
"Well, Mr. Uzamaki…it seems that you have no homework in my class" I smiled at him as I cleaned up some papers.
The young one seems to be a little bit nervous and scared…what the hell?
"Is something wrong?" I can't help it my instincts are going crazy.
"Well…sir it is just that I have to have homework or my parents will think that I am lying if I don't bring any home" said Naruto.
Okay that was weird…parents mad because you don't have homework? Strange…
But to help my mate out…
"Okay Mr. Uzamaki…how about you write me three paragraphs about the first six chapters" I don't feel right giving extra homework like this but until I can find out what is going on…I will make my mate as happy as possible.
And giving him that extra homework seems to make him happy…
Naruto gives me a relieved smile and makes his way out the door. I stare at him…can't help…even you human with the poor senses that you have…must feel something isn't right.
I shake my head of those thoughts because right now I can't do anything…my next class is coming in. But I do have time to…
I grab my cell phone and dial a number that I know well…
"Uchiha residence…"
"Hey Itachi…can you and Sasuke meet me at my house at about 8:00 tonight?" I ask my best friend's brother.
"Not a problem Neji…what is going on?"
"I will tell you when I see you guys tonight..." I vaguely hear the bell ring.
"We will be there…see you then"
"Good bye…and thanks" I hang up the phone.
Alright now I just have to make it till 8:00…
Easier said than done…
