Well, this is my first posting for this in a while, but the chapter is a fairly good one, and they'll be having more action in the future. (longer too) I was stuck on exactly how to continue for a while, you might say I lost interest but I always find it again eventually.

So here is chapter 12 for your viewing pleasure... sort of...well reading pleasure... anyway...you know what I mean

(I don't own any part of Naruto)

Chapter 12

Kiba kept on looking back at the vampire boy walking with them. He seemed harmless enough. He constantly smiled, but he seemed unimpressed with the village. Kyoto remarked, "This place isn't nearly as impressive as mom said it was. I mean, It doesn't even look the same as she described it." He frowned, "And it's funny, you have five stone faces instead of three."

Shino said, "The village was attacked not too long ago. We are still rebuilding some areas." He paused, "Do you know the significance of the stone faces?"

Kyoto almost bumped into him. He thought for a moment, "Yeah, they're supposed to be...what did mom call them...Hokage. That's what you call the leaders of your village right?"

Shino nodded, "We have had five Hokage so far. The first four are all deceased."

"Oh...so...which one is uncle Minato?" All four of his escorts stopped dead in their tracks.

Kiba blurted loud enough for everyone near by to stop as well, "WHAT!? Your uncle was Hokage?!" Kyoto looked between them. With the exception of Shino they all were shocked.

"What? Do you not believe me?"

Negi turned to continue walking. "Let us get to Lady Tsunade. Perhaps then we can clear this up. I for one doubt that your related to any of the Hokage." Kiba agreed. Sai reset his annoying fake smile and continued on. At last Shino turned as well. Kyoto just followed after them.

ooo

Hokage tower was crowded that day, with dozens of people entering or leaving at any given time. Kyoto looked around in awe. He said, "Now this is more like what mom talked about. This place is a lot more impressive than the rest of the village." Kiba grunted as they pushed through the crowd. They made their way up to the second floor. But they were set upon by a young man in a green jumpsuit. He crashed into Negi, nearly knocking him over. Negi grabbed the boys leg and used his momentum to toss him over his shoulder.

Lee, for it was Lee, hit the wall of the corridor face first. Negi demanded, "What is the meaning of this Lee?!"

Lee was up in a split second, "Negi! the flames of youth are indeed strong within you! We must have a match!" Kyoto and Kiba sweat-dropped.

Kyoto asked, "Who in Kami's name is this guy?"

Shino said to Lee, "Lee, were are in the middle of a mission and we were already interrupted. We would appreciate it if you could wait to spar with Negi."

Lee, looking incredibly disappointed said, "Ok, but when you return...we will Fight!"

The green clad boy peeked around Negi and Shino to look at Kyoto. As if he hadn't just shouted at the top of his lungs his intention to fight, he asked, "Shino who is this one?"

He sighed, "Lee this is Kyoto Uzumaki, Kyoto this is Rock Lee." They stared at each other for a moment. Eventually Kyoto smiled and stretched his hand forward in greetings, "Uh...pleased to meet you lee." Kyoto's fangs glinted in the hallway light.

There was a moment before Lee's fist came flying at his face. Kyoto registered to 180 degree turn that was Lee's expression. Lee punched out and Kyoto, out of reflex, dodged it. Lee's next move was a low kick, but his opponent was already springing in the air.

A second later Lee crashed into the hardwood of the hallway wall. Kyoto landed silently and stood up strait. People who had been walking by a moment before were stopped staring. Some of them recognized Lee. Those who did admired the speedy end to the most recent fight started by the lesser green beast of the Leaf. Kyoto brushed off his shirt and pants. It was unnecessary, but he had been taught that nothing intimidated an opponent, like brushing yourself off after you kick their ass. Kiba closed his mouth and just stared at him dumbly. One second Lee had attacked, the next...he was out cold.

A shout roared down the hall. "DYNAMIC ENTRY!" Kyoto turned and planted his feet wide apart. He held out a hand and caught the flying kick. Then he levered his attacker over his head and flung him down the hall. There was a crash and a few shouts. Kyoto watched as a older copy of Lee stood up and assumed a fighting position. The man asked, "Who!...is this...!?...who has been so youthful as to knock my student out with a single kick...? I know not. But I...Might Guy! pronounce you to be a worthy adversary!"

Without further fanfare he charged. Kyoto sidestepped the first attack, ducked under a high kick. Blocked a series of punches and, deciding to be cruel, head-butted the man in the face. The impact stopped him mid swing. He stumbled back saying, "Amazing, He who shows such youth and imagination in his fighting...I declare to be truly strong! Guy's voice resumed a more normal tone. He said, "Damn that hurt." He promptly fell flat on his back.

everyone in the hall way cheered, with the exception of his escorts. Kyoto thought, 'What the hell? Why is everyone applauding. They didn't seem that tough to me. And the way they were talking. Was this some kind of joke.' Kyoto asked, "Can I see the Hokage now...or are there more of those youthful green ninja's waiting to ambush me?"

Negi cracked a weak smile. "I think that Lady Tsunade will see you now."

ooo

Kyoto walked into Tsunade's office behind his escorts. When they were standing assembled Tsunade looked up. Her face changed from annoyance to shock to anger. She shouted, "You were supposed to be gone an hour ago! What are you still doing here?"

Kiba dragged Kyoto out from behind them. He said, "We met this guy at the front gate. He says he wants to talk to you."

Kyoto looked her up and down. Her most distinguishing feature was a breast size that probably didn't have an official name. Followed by a diamond mark on her forehead, finished off with a scowl that could have burned through steel. She was to all appearances, pissed off and ready to take it out on someone. Kyoto immediately regretted coming at this time. Something was obviously wrong at the moment.

Tsunade regarded the boy. He looked to be sixteen or seventeen with crimson red hair and amazing blue eyes. He had a face that was less handsome than cute. He was wearing a blue shirt with a darker blue vest. He had black pants as well. On his belt were a variety of pouches and containers. He also had fangs. They poked out over his lip making his look like a cartoon demon boy or something. She looked lower. He had sharp claws and lightly tanned skin. He was barefoot and seemed to be wearing weights on his legs.

She asked, "Are you a vampire?" He nodded. Tsunade thought, "This is so unexpected. I can't begin to figure out what a vampire like him is doing here. He obviously isn't crazy or bloodthirsty. In fact his face kind of reminds me of Naruto. Not to mention that he wants to talk to the Hokage. What is this about?" She asked, "What do you want here vampire?"

He grinned and said, "Well there's actually several things I came here for, but I couldn't really do any of them without talking to the boss first."

Tsunade crossed her hands over her desk. "Ok, what is the main reason you came here?"

He scratched his head, "Well you might think I'm a bit stupid for saying this, but I'm supposed to find my cousin...except I wasn't told his name...or what he looked like."

Tsunade asked, "And who gave you this mission?" She was very interested to know who this vampire answered to.

"My mom." An awkward silence stretched for a few minutes. Tsunade eventually asked, "And your mom is?"

"Kura Uzumaki"

Kyoto said, "My name is Kyoto Uzumaki."

Tsunade let her jaw drop. She stood up and walked around the table to look him in the eye. "Your an Uzumaki?! Where have you been hiding and when were you bitten. How is it that your still sane?!"

Kyoto took a step backwards. He said, "First we live a ways away. Our village is more than two weeks travel from here, one way, and that's running the whole way. And Second, What do you mean? "When was I bitten?" I was born a vampire, thank you very much!" Kyoto thought that the Hokage must be off the reservation, because she wasn't making any sense.

Tsunade along with everyone else seemed shocked by this. Kyoto asked, "What's wrong with you guys. Have you ever met a vampire before? Cause you don't seem to know much more than how to tell what I am."

Tsunade asked, "Is your mother a vampire then. Does it pass down genetically?"

Kyoto raised an eyebrow. "You know like nothing about vampires don't you. Of course my mom's a vampire. So was my dad and his dad before him. So are my sisters and my cousins. The whole Uzumaki clan has ALWAYS been vampires. Jeeze, you didn't know that?"

There was another period of silence while Tsunade digested this information. She turned and walked back to her chair, where she sat down. When she had seated herself she gestured for him to do the same. Kyoto hesitantly took a chair in front of her desk. When he too was seated she said, "Now since I apparently know nothing about vampires, please tell me all you can. we have been having quite a bad time with your "kind" here of late."

Kyoto decided to start at the beginning.

Naruto looked through room after room. His clones had done a good job. Every inch of the place was clean. Of course this was only half of the first floor. But the rest of the place could wait. Naruto just didn't know what they would be doing while they were hidden. This place was meant to house and protect the Lord of Fire, without ever making him feel that he was in danger. To that purpose the entire bunker had been designed with an eye towards ascetics instead of functionality. There wasn't even a training room in the entire bunker.

He turned the corner and was presented with an intricate door. It had to be the biggest door in the bunker. And the carving on the front of it truly befitted a Lord. Behind him, Ino said, "Here's the master bedroom...Master."

Hinata who was hanging off his arm said, "Ino...! don't be so..."

The blond smirked, "So what Hinata? He's my master too you know."

Hinata turned red, "Thats not what I meant...and...you know it."

Naruto purred, "Ok...ok, can't we get along now. I just want us to be able to stay here without fighting all the time." He patted Hinata on the head, "That means not getting so jealous."

The doors swung inward as Naruto pushed them. He said to Ino, "That also means, not trying to jump me whenever we're alone." Ino blushed before following Naruto into the bedroom. It was huge. There was a massive table that dominated one side. And opposite that was a high bed. It was huge, easily ten feet across.

He whistled, "Jeeze, Tenten wasn't kidding. You could fit all nine of us on this thing!" Naruto walked to the bed and let himself fall forward onto it. He smiled as he bounced a bit. The blankets still smelled a bit dusty, but they were very soft. A sigh escaped Ino as she jumped on the bed next to him.

She stretched saying, "Isn't this nice. It's so much bigger than my bed at home. I mean it feels kind of weird being underground, but so far I like it."

Hinata said, "I like it better outside, but any place is better with Naruto there."

Ino said teasing, "Now look who's trying to cozy up to Naruto kun." Tenten entered the room and made a running leap for it. She landed, almost on top of Naruto. He looked up. His head was directly between her legs. His nose was two inches from her panties.

Tenten realized her mistake and crawled further up the bed. Naruto kept the image of her panties in his mind a fraction longer than necessary. He thought, 'Tenten you could have warned me before you jumped into bed in only your underclothes.' He said, "You guys just keep dropping in on me without warning and I might get jumpy."

Kara was next into the room. She said, "You know that you're the only guy here right?" Naruto glanced at her and flushed red. She was wearing only a bra and panties. At least Tenten was wearing a nightshirt...even if it looked three sizes too small.

Naruto asked, "Where did you girls get all these clothes from? I didn't see you pack any of this stuff...and I know that you weren't wearing a bra. He pointed at Kara. He thought, 'Not that I really mind having them half naked...-gulp- in bed with me.' Then it occurred to him, "Hey it won't be dark for hours still, what are you all doing getting in bed. I only came in to check things out."

Ino said, "Master...we spent all day running around and we're...tired. Maybe you could give us the rest of the day off." Naruto didn't know what to say to that.

He was about to sit up when Hinata crawled into his arms. She let out a long breath. Naruto could feel the bed shift as the others positioned themselves around him. An arm curled around his waist and he felt warm breath on his neck. Naruto had slept with a girl before. Hinata and even more than one that time he woke up with both Hinata and Aumi. But now he was sleeping with four girls at the same time. He wondered dimly, how long it would be before he was doing more than sleeping...

ooo

Kiba, Shino, Negi, and Said took seats so that they could listen to Kyoto's explanation. They watched as Kyoto took a deep breath and began.

He started, "A long time ago, well before it became common for demons to be sealed inside human hosts, those like the Tailed beasts roamed free. You're probably aware by now that the Nine great demons aren't the only ones to exist. There have been countless others. Most of which were weak, but some had nearly as much power as the nine tailed beasts.

In fact, many of them took human form. And a few of these demons took human mates... Those families, that had demon blood mixed with their own, changed. The more powerful the demon blood, the greater the change. About five hundred years ago there was a great shift between our realm and the demon realm. It forced the vast majority of demons out of our world. Only those demons that tethered themselves to human bloodlines survived. And out of those families only seven exist today."

Kyoto scratched his chin before continuing. "Three of the seven were exterminated even before the third great shinobi war. But there are still scattered members of their clans alive. You see, demon blood is powerful and doesn't really diminish through the generations. I have just as much power as my great great grandfather, even though no new demon blood has come into the family. Of the four great demon families three reside in the Land of Fire. The abilities and appearance of each family is greatly affected by the demon in our blood. For instance the Hyuuga clan is the fourth most powerful of the seven families. But I forget the name of the demon that first bound itself to the clan..."

He scratched his head, "Though if mother was telling the truth it was a female demon, but it doesn't really make a difference, except that it alters the powers of the children depending on the sex of the demon."

Tsunade looked over at Negi, who looked like he was having a heart attack. She said, "Negi calm yourself now. Kyoto, I was more interested in the vampires. Could you go more into depth about that?"

He sighed, "Sure, but from what your telling me, I think that my family has very little to do with your problems. You said something about blood crazed vampires. And that could only be one thing."

He thought for a moment, "But it seems strange to me, since we heard that their clan was almost completely wiped out. With like only one or two survivors."

"Which clan?!"

Kyoto said, "The Uchiha clan was also blessed with an extremely powerful demon, but unlike the Uzumaki clan, their demon wasn't friendly. His blood made for some very powerful clan members, but unfortunately when their blood was spread beyond those of their own clan...bad things happened. The thing is, Uzumaki and Uchiha can both give others our power, but those that the Uchiha blessed, weren't able to control it. It was complete power overload. It ate away at the mind and body."

Kiba spoke up, "And this is different from the way it is with you?"

He nodded, "Exactly, the demon that bonded with our blood line was more benevolent in nature. Even while some of our powers are the same, we aren't even close to being the same thing."

Tsunade said, "Tell me about the abilities of your family."

Kyoto grinned, "That might be hard, since the whole thing with our clan is that our abilities range so wildly. But there are a few things we all have in common." Kyoto looked pensive, "We all need to drink a certain amount of blood to use our powers. We can survive without drinking blood for a few days without losing out strength and speed, but after that we're weak as normal people. The thing that worries me is my cousin that I'm supposed to find. I doubt that he had had any blood at all. Mom says that both his parents were killed when he was born. And few non-Uzumaki even know about our gift. He's been starving since the day he was born.

Tsunade thought, "He must be talking about Naruto. But what do I tell him. That he's gone and we don't even know where he is?"

Kyoto said, "It would be like living your life, eating noting but plain rice and then someone cooking you a three course gourmet meal. Total sensory overload. Not to mention the fact that he will have to master his powers all at once..."

Tsunade said, I think we may have a problem. The only Uzumaki I can think of in this village is Naruto Uzumaki." Tsunade looked grieved, "He was bitten by one of our feral vampires two years ago. We put a seal on him to keep the symptoms at bay, but it failed. He ended up biting a bunch of our medical ninjas and it's gone downhill from there."

Kyoto shrugged, "That doesn't matter. Uzumaki blood is way stronger than Uchiha blood. The Uzumaki clan has three demons in our blood line. the worst that could happen is him going a bit blood crazy for a while. Once he sates his appetite, he should be fine. But I need to talk to him as soon as I can. He's reaching what we call the blood limit."

Worried, Tsunade asked, what is that?!"

"It's when all those with demon blood gain full use of their demon blood and abilities. And after the age of sixteen, we Uzumaki start looking for a suitable mate." Tsunade said, "But Naruto is over seventeen!" Kyoto grinned broadly, "Then he probably has someone in mind. It's traditional to marry someone who also has demon blood and we feel drawn to certain people whose blood calls to our own."

Shino said, "Naruto also has the Ninetailed fox inside him. Will that have any effect on him?"

Kyoto shook his head, "Honestly, even though three separate Uzumaki have held Kurama, we still don't know very much about how he changes things."

Tsunade gasped, "You know it's name?!"

"Duh, he's like the Uzumaki clan mascot by now. That's not even including the fact that the original demon bound to our clan was a demon fox too."

Tsunade rose to her feet saying, "Shino, Negi, Kiba, Sai. I want you to fetch Asuma, Kurenai, Yamato, and Hiashi." She sat back down as the others left. She said, "Seven others were bitten as a result of Naruto awakening those powers. What will happen to them?" Kyoto sighed and began explaining again.

Waking up, Naruto felt oddly heavy. He tried to roll over, but found himself tangled. He lifted his head and heard a feminine moan. His eyes popped open. He was lying with one arm around a beautiful sleeping Hinata, who's head was next to his own. While someone with small hands clutched at his chest from behind. Naruto realized that his head was supported by a pale creamy thigh. He finally remembered falling asleep the previous day.

There was someone sleeping on his stomach as well. He used his one free arm to lift the blanket to see who it was. Aumi's face was barely visible in the darkness, even with his vampire eyes. She looked so peaceful. Naruto smiled wondering how he managed to fall asleep like this.

A lick tickled his back. "When did my shirt get taken off?" He turned his head. Kara smiled and whispered, "Good morning Master." Naruto felt her teeth as she nibbled his shoulder. She asked, "Are you thirsty?"

As he nodded, Hinata stirred in his arms. She squirmed a bit, burying her face in his chest. Naruto got an idea. He whispered to Kara, "Could you move Aumi without waking her up?" She nodded. A minute later he freely slipped down to Hinata's level. He brushed her hair off her neck. Her pale skin looked so...biteable. He put his lips to her neck and slowly pushed his fangs into her. Blood welled up in his mouth. He sucked lightly at the wound. The taste was too much. He drank deeper, needing more of her. She moaned in her sleep. Kara watched as Hinata opened her mouth and moaned loud in Naruto's ear.

Aumi woke up and sat up, rubbing at her eyes. She turned to Naruto, who was on top of Hinata. His whisker marks were darkening and there was almost a purring coming from him. A deep thrum that filled the air.

Ino opened her eyes in agitation. Something had been making this vibrating noise like a giant jungle cat. She couldn't sleep with it filling her ears. As soon as she opened her eyes she saw Naruto. His mouth was latched onto Hinata's neck. He seemed to be completely engrossed in his feeding. Ino sat up. She saw Kara and Aumi, who were watching raptly. Tenten had also woken up.

It was two full minutes before Naruto pulled back from Hinata. He moved back and let her sit up. Hinata shuddered, "Naruto kun...?" Naruto wiped his mouth.

He apologized, "I just wanted to wake you up...I guess I got carried away... Sorry Hinata."

She was blushing again, but she hugged him anyway. "It's fine Naruto...but...your still thirsty! please don't stop...it feels good." When she was there, just offering him her throat, he couldn't resist. He bit down again.

ooo

Hinata fell limply on the bed. Naruto sighed and fell off the bed backwards. Tenten and Ino both examined Hinata closely. Her eyes were closed and she breathed steadily. Ino checked her pulse. It was, thankfully, regular. She said, "Hinata is fine. She's just sleeping." Tenten and the others relaxed. Aumi got off the bed and checked Naruto. He was breathing faster than normal. And his eyes were barely open. Ino leaned over the edge of the bed. Naruto looked like he had stuffed himself at a buffet. His smug expression was similar to a cat who had swallowed a canary. Ino realized that he had fallen asleep.

An annoyed pout formed on Tenten's face. She said, "I guess Master is satisfied already...aww...I was hoping he would bite me next."

Ino poked her in the side, "Hey, no fair! He almost never bites me!"

Tenten sneered, "Well, if you weren't trying to get into his pants, maybe he would be able to bite you."

The blond swatted her, "Take that back Tenten!...You wouldn't mind doing it yourself. Don't get on my case for trying!" As the two girls argued back and forth, Naruto stirred and sat up.

He turned his head asking, "What happened. How did I fall off the bed?" Aumi pointed out, "You were drinking from Hinata and you both fell asleep. You just fell of the bed."

Naruto scratched the back of his head, embarrassed, "Sorry about that..."

Confused Aumi and Kara leaned forward, "Sorry for what Naruto kun?"

Naruto's eyes turned red as he grabbed Aumi, "...For... this." His teeth slammed into her. Her eyes went wide and her whole body was rigid. Pain seized at her chest and pulsed through her. Aumi tried to relax her muscles, but her limbs wouldn't respond to her. She could see out of the corner of her eye. Kara watched her raptly as she bit her lip. But her eyes were focused on Naruto, not her. Aumi's mind seemed to be clouding over, getting harder for her to think. The pain in her neck and chest changing to intense heat. Aumi's hands which had been clutching Naruto tightly, loosened and the ache of butterflies exploded in her chest. In the back of her mind, she realized that pain was transforming into intense pleasure. Aumi's eyes rolled back as Naruto bent her backwards, deepening the contact between them. His own hands held her almost loosely but it was like his voice was inside her head telling her to submit. To let him drink his fill. It wasn't Naruto's voice. It was deeper and sinister, but still with some of Naruto's warmth. It wasn't cold, she could feel it in her mind, scorching hot.

Pleasure burned through her system, like sweet acid. Then, suddenly, Naruto released her. His fangs pulled out. Kara caught her as she dropped like a stone. Naruto fell back again, his mind churning. He held his head, trying not to think about blood. Had he been so distracted by the taste, that he had hurt her? "I have to get it together. What was wrong with that bite? It was like...she was...just a meal. I only realized I was hurting her halfway through. Oh Kami I hope she's alright... Damn! And I thought that it was getting better. That I had somehow changed the disease into something less...bad."

Naruto felt someone's hand on his shoulder, breaking him out of his thoughts. Ino asked, "Is there something wrong Naruto?" He looked up at her. She continued, "If you're still thirsty you can bite me..." Naruto experienced a chill of excitement that raced up his spine. He pushed his thirst down. He didn't need this complication right now. He needed to get his act together so that he could control himself.

Ino saw his hesitation and pounced. She drew down till she was sitting in his lap. She cooed, "Master...please..." Her voice was barely audible as she said, "I need you...Master...inside me..." Ino tilted her neck so that it brushed his nose, "Please Master, drain me...suck me dry..."

The thirst hit him and his head felt dizzy with it. He tried to order his thoughts, but her sweet smell was driving him crazy. Her body pressed against him, breasts nearly in his face as she rubbed her body on his. Naruto lost control. He bit her throat just above her collar bone. Blood rushed out before he could seal the wound with his lips. It spilled down Ino's skin in long red ribbons. Naruto licked up the ribbon that traveled down under her bra. He continued to lick at the blood that flowed from her throat. Ino whimpered, "Naruto...please bite me..." His teeth found her again, sinking deep into her neck, right where her artery was. He didn't suck from the gushing bite, but started slowly lapping up the blood, Naruto shifted his hands to her belly. Massaging the tense muscles as more and more blood covered Ino.

Tenten gazed at the blood that covered Ino. She was so thirsty. It was maddening. She wanted to lick Ino's flawless skin too. Maybe nibble at the bitemark, get the blood flowing faster. The whimpers and other sensual sounds that Ino made were driving both her and Naruto crazy. Naruto finally drew his teeth across Ino's neck. Tenten saw Ino bit her lip unconsciously as Naruto sank his fangs in. Ino's hands slid down Naruto's chest as the pleasure overwhelmed her. Moments dripped by until Naruto released Ino.

Tenten asked, "Naruto...master.. can I have a bite?" He didn't seem to hear her. Something occurred to her as he jumped on the bed, pushing her into the covers under his weight, "He's still thirsty...Master is still craving. And he wants me."
