My Song Mood: Savior by Rise Against
Chapter 2: Terrible news
Naruto was bristly escorted out of the leader's lair by Deidara, and taken into an office-like room. There sat a purple-haired women typing away on a new mac-styled computer. Her hair was medium, cut precisely, and a bit wavy at the ends. Her office was full of modern-day decor, consisting of a neat, polished desk, with a black leather sectional sofa curving around it. There was an urban, chic-style lamp hanging in the room, giving off a warm, yellow glow.
Naruto shuffled nervously in front of the desk. It was weird to him. Akatsuki was just like a university, in Naruto's eyes. Nothing looked creepy, or medieval. (With the exception of Leader's room, of course.)
"Wassup, Aiko?" Deidara asked casually. Aiko glanced up, glaring at Deidara. Her gaze shifted to Naruto, and he made his best effort to look presentable.
"Whose the kid?" Aiko asked. "He looks like shit. Was he in a fight, or something?" Naruto deadpanned.
"Ah, well, sort-of. I was informed that Konan sent you a message of Naruto Uzumaki's arrival, un?" Deidara asked, unsure of himself.
Aiko typed away on her computer, her manicured fingers nosily clicking away on the emaciated keyboard. Does everyone here have perfectly polished nails? Naruto wondered silently.
Aiko scrolled down, and clicked on a couple of files. She was then presented with Naruto's letter of explanation from Konan, and every-single file available dealing with Naruto. "Well..." She smirked. "It appears we have quite the delinquent on our hands."
"How did you-?" Naruto asked appalled.
"Simple." Aiko stated, as she began printing out a piece of paper. "I have every document in the world. Literally." She got up, and walked over to the perfectly polished wooden shelves behind her, which contained clear, plastic baggies alined on them. She grabbed one off of the 'M' shelf, and tossed it to Naruto. "Its a cloak. One of the standard Akatsuki uniform." She explained. Naruto nodded, inspecting the peculiar coat through the plastic. It was black and red, with multiple red clouds snugly stitched all-over. He vaguely remembered multiple people wearing these in the halls. He wasn't paying much attention.
"That still doesn't explain how you have every file..." He pointed out.
"I'm an expert hacker." Aiko said as she grabbed the recently printed-out paper. "Deidara." She commanded as she turned to the silent blond man. "Find Yugito." Deidara grumbled, and exited the room. "Now," She began again, turning back to Naruto. "You're pretty special. Half demon, half vampire, eh?" Aiko said as she propped her leather-booted feet on her desk. "Well, we are going to put you in the vampire dorms. The demon dorms are separated, and considerably smaller. So you'll just have to make do." Naruto nodded. "Any other questions?" She asked.
Naruto had a million questions. Where, exactly, are we? What other species are here? Do we have classes? But, he settled with a question that's been bugging him for quiet some time. "Who is Sasuke Uchiha?"
A mischievous grin found its way onto Aiko's face. "Why? Has our new pray taken a liking in one of Akatsuki's best students?"
"Wha- No!" Naruto stuttered. "I just... Have something I need to settle with him, that's all." He offered, lamely.
"Yea... uh-huh... Well, if you must know, the Uchihas have a large vampire history. Of course, pretty much all of the Uchihas are dead, except for Sasuke and his older brother Itachi. Which reminds me..." She trailed off, picking up the printed paper. "Itachi Uchiha is your mentor." She added with a smirk.
"Mentor?" Naruto asked.
"Yup. Everyone is assigned a mentor. Their kinda like a guider, or a teacher. You can always come to them if you need anything. Itachi has been avoiding being a mentor for too long. You must be lucky, considering he caved in for you."
As Aiko finished explaining some minor, last-minute details, there was a hollow knock at the door. "Come in!" She shouted.
A tall, skinny girl, with muddy-blond hair pulled back into a long pony-tail walked in. Shes pretty hot, Naruto mused.
"Deidara-Senpai said you needed me, Aiko-San?"
"Ah, yes. This is Naruto Uzumaki." Aiko gestured towards said boy. "Naruto, this is Yugito. Shes a demon as well. Here," Aiko handed Yugito the flimsy paper she was holding. "Its Naruto's schedule. Take him to his dorm, kay? Now get out of my site." She dismissed, waving her hand.
Naruto scuffled out the door, Yugito in trail. She quietly clicked the door closed, and ushered Naruto down a long hall. He wordlessly followed her. It was about Seven in the morning, and after Naruto was ever-so-warmly welcomed to Akatsuki, he was rushed to Kabuto's medical room, so he didn't die. All in all, Naruto had been genuinely scared for his life multiple times, in just nearly half a day.
As Naruto was lost in thought, Yugito stopped in front of a door, and Naruto bumped into her. "Sorry..." He mumbled, embarrassed.
"This is your room." Yugito gestured, ignoring Naruto's apology. "Remember, its room two-seven-two." She then knocked on the door. Scrambling, scuffling, and a loud thud could be heard from behind the door. "Idiot probably tripped..." Yugito mumbled as they waited for someone to answer the door.
The door creaked open, revealing a white, messy-haired teen, and a pair of vibrant, foggy purple eyes. "Yea?" He grumbled.
"Suigetsu, open the door all the way, please." Yugito asked, clearly annoyed.
"Uh... Well..." Suigetsu said hesitantly.
"Open the door, dammit!" She said sternly. Suigetsu sighed, and opened the door. Yugito pushed her way through, and walked into the room. Naruto followed, observing the room. There was a small hallway, right when you walk in. A double door was immediately to your left, which revealed a very nice, clean, bathroom, with a tub and shower! To Naruto's right was a wall, lined with band, anime, and movie posters. Suigetsu closed the door, and walked with Naruto. At the end of the small hall, it opened up into a huge room. Two, king-sized beds were at separate corners of the room. Each had a closet next to them. In the middle of the two beds were a dresser, and mounted on the wall was a very expensive-looking flat-screen t.v.
Video-game cords, cases, and consoles littered the dresser under the t.v., and two neon-colored bean-bags were plopped down in front of it all, on the plush navy-blue carpet. In the corner, to the left of the t.v. was a small book-case, which contained rows filled with manga. Clearly, Akatsuki paid no expense in providing a great living space.
"Is every room like this?" Naruto asked, in awe.
"Yup." Suigetsu replied, with a smug smile.
Yugito was standing in the middle of the room, glancing around. "Where are they?" She demanded.
"Where is who?" Suigetsu asked casually, feigning innocence. Yugito then proceeded to angrily check under the bed, and fiercely scanned the bathroom. She then walked over to the currently un-occupied closet to the left.
"W-Wait!" Suigetsu shouted, hoping over the bean-bags, scrambling over to the closet. But he was to late. Yugito opened the closet, revealing three teens, that looked about Naruto's age.
"Get out of there!" Yugito shouted.
Damn, that girls scary Naruto thought, as he cowered back with Suigetsu.
Yugito turned to inspect the teens. "Omoi! Karui! Fuu! I knew i would find you in here! What the hell were you doing?" Yugito fumed.
Karui, a dark-skinned girl with flaming red-hair, kept quiet. Her face clearly looking guilty.
"Ah, come on!" The dark-skinned boy with white hair called Omoi joked, "You know us so well, Yugi!"
"Dont ever call me Yugi." Yugito seethed.
"Look. Were sorry." A short, spiky, green-haired, girl with a red clip interjected. "It won't happen again."
"Your sure right, it won't. Go back to your dorms. Now!" Omoi, Karui, and Fuu dashed towards the door. Yugito walked calmly after them. Before leaving, she turned around and said, "Oh, Suigetsu, your not off the hook either. And, welcome to Akatsuki, Naruto." And with that, she left.
There was an awkward silence after she was gone. Naruto glanced around, unsure of what to do next. First impressions were everything, right? Because Yugito and Suigetsu didn't exactly do very good in that aspect.
"Just put you're stuff over there. We really should hit the hay." Suigetsu offered, while turning off the t.v. "Dont worry about them," He added, noticing Naruto's concerned glance towards the door, "They get caught in here all the time. Ya might wanna get used to it."
Naruto nodded, walking over to an empty bed. As he sat down, he took in consideration the fact that 'his' side off the room was spotless, and clean, while Suigetsu's was messy. He unlaced his dirty shoelaces, and tossed the shoes on the floor. Oh well. He mused. My side will be just as messy in time.
"Some chicks came in here a while ago to clean up, after my room-mate died. Almost everyone has two roommates." Suigetsu claimed, plopping down in the fluffy comforter.
"W-What?" Naruto exclaimed, staring bewildered at the white-haired boy. "How did he die?"
"Burned." He explained. "Since we aren't full vampires yet, we burn into ash in minutes. Of course, we catch on fire, and roast slowly. It's a long, painful process. Adult vamps don't burn in the sun, though. It's just uncomfortable."
"Oh...Im sorry..." Naruto replied sheepishly, unsure of what to say.
"Naw, it's all good. If you ask me, I'm glad! I had to put up with that kid for twenty years! He was a real pain in the ass... Whats his name... Arashi? That guy was such a creep... You don't seem so bad, though. Hopefully you'll live longer."
Naruto stared, shocked. "How can you say it so... normally? Is the death of someone something that happens regularly around here?"
"Yup. Besides, they call me the vampire meant to be demon! I have a strange fetish for death..." Suigestu slithered mischievously. "Oh, and don't worry if you have trouble sleeping. You're internal clock will catch on pretty soon. Night!" And with that being said, he turned off the lights.
Naruto did'nt sleep much, though. It was to hard. So many things had happend in such a short time. With all these thoughts filling his head, he finally rested in a comfortable sleep.
In the morning (or night. Whatever floats your boat) Naruto woke-up groggily, unexpectedly having a rough, heavy material tossed on his body.
"Ngh... What's this?" He groaned. If one could not tell, Naruto was not a morning person. It took even Kiba forever to get him out of bed, especially on Sundays. Saturdays were Naruto's 'anime-night', so he usually stayed up really late. The dog-loving boy usually resorted to pouring water on the blonde's head, much to his father's dismay.
"Nyahh!... Cloths. It's kinda like a uniform." Suigetsu yawned, stretching.
Naruto examined the cloths. They were all black. Black, low-cut shirt, with a fishnet-tee underneath, and weird black capri-lengthed sweats. And to top it all off, there was weird sandals and a head-band. Naruto than recalled that everyone he met was wearing this uniform.
After getting dressed, Suigetsu showed him down-stairs, to the boy's kitchen. Naruto shivered as he passed Aiko's office. I'll be staying away from there, for sure.
He followed Suigetsu down the hall. At the end, was four wooden steps that led down to a kitchen. There was a granite island with shiny leather barstools underneath, that were currently being occupied by three boys. The kitchen seemed to be color coded, having polished white cabinets, stainless-steel fridges, and a clean teal tile along the floor.
"There are three fridges" Suigetsu explained, as they came to the kitchen. "One of them is full entirely of blood-baggies!" He said with a fishy grin that sent chills down Naruto's spine. "Want some?" He offered.
"Oh, hell no!" Naruto screeched. "I just became a vampire, and you expect me to warm up to the thought of drinking blood?" He asked incredulously. Suigestu shrugged it off, sipping on some blood in a juice-box-like container, and kicking the fridge door closed.
"What...? No ramen?" Naruto mumbled, searching through the cabinets. Eventually, after finding no ramen (the best meal, like, ever), Naruto settled for a bowl of simple Coco Puffs. He sat down at a cold, granite table with Suigetsu and a few others he didn't know.
"Naruto, this is Omoi, Sora, and Yagura. You already met Omoi... Oh, and Sora and Yagura are demons..." Suigetsu added, nonchalantly.
"So hes the obnoxious new loud kid?" Sora grumbled.
"Hey! I was trying extra hard not to be annoying yesterday!" Naruto yelled.
"Let it go. Soras just upset because his room is right above Kabuto's 'work area'. " A soft skinned, blonde boy with purple eyes and a stitch along the side of his face, teased.
"You are all so childish." Sora mussed, taking a small bite of his breakfast sandwich.
"Then why hang out with us, huh?" Suigetsu probed. This act was tentatively ignored by Sora.
"So Naruto, we informally met yesterday. I'm Omoi!" Omoi introduced, proudly crossing his fist over his heart. Naruto nodded.
"I remember you! You were that kid caught by Yugito!" All the boys froze at the mention of the she-devil. Naruto didn't seem to notice this. "Where are all the girls, anyway?"
"What, you wanna do sight-seeing already?" Suigetsu smirked.
"The girls have separate dorms, but they are allowed here. It's just that they never get up this early. Their always doing their hair and makeup before coming downstairs." Yagura answered.
"I thought vampires's reflections don't show up in mirrors...?" Naruto wondered aloud.
"Stereotype" Suigetsu snorted. "Not all are true. One of the first spells we learned was how to make our reflection appear. The girls sure love it..."
"Hah! I knew Sasuke's hair wasn't naturally like that!" Naruto cheered out. "I wondered if he was a vampire and couldn't see his reflection, how could he get his hair to defy gravity like that?"
Snickers could be heard through-out the room, as people were listening in on their conversation. Naruto ignored this, and got up to walk towards the sink.
"So Naruto," Suigetsu began. "Whose you're mentor? Mines Kisame-Senpai!"
"Ah... mines Itachi Uchiha...Senpai" Naruto added on hesitantly.
"Don't use his name so casually!" Sora warned.
"Yea, Sasuke's gotta real grudge against that guy..." Omoi agreed.
"Well, Itachi-Senpai doesn't seem to bad. In fact, Itachi-Senpai seems nice!" Naruto drawled out Itachi's name for affect. "Maybe, Itachi-Senpai can teach me cool karate moves or something!"
Suigetsu's eyes bulged as he saw an approaching figure. Yagura and Omoi exchanged weary glances.
"In fact" Naruto ignorantly continued, setting his bowl in the sink with a 'clunk' "Itachi-Senpai refused to take a student, until I came along and-"
"Shut up." Came a cold reply. Naruto 'eeped' and swiftly turned around.
"M-Morning, sleeping beauty!" Naruto said quickly, bowing towards Sasuke.
"Don't kiss-up. I heard what you were talking about. Now move out of my way, idiot." Sasuke commanded.
"Naruto-kun, please excuse my foolish little brother" Itachi apologized, coming out of no where. Now it was Sasuke's turn to be surprised. If he was, he didn't show it. "I actually need to speak to the both of you." He commanded, more than stated. He grabbed Naruto's wrist, and yanked him towards a hall that Naruto hadn't even noticed until now.
Naruto glanced back at the table, where his new friends sat. They nonchalantly looked away, and ate their breakfast.
Traitors! Naruto thought, as he was dragged away.
Itachi eventually let-go of Naruto's wrist as they were a safe distance from the kitchen. He walked solemnly behind Itachi and Sasuke.
They left me to die! He thought wildly. Their gonna glare me to death! He then proceeded to take in his surroundings. They halls looked familiar, but Naruto was sure he had never been over here before. Dammit! Sasukes, like, two centimeters taller than me! He groaned.
Itachi came to a halt, and silently opened a plain door. It revealed a room just like Naruto and Suigestu's, only there was only one bed, (and no video games, either) covered in black, satin silk, with a maroon red vines sown into it. Where the other bed had been, there was a futuristic-styled desk and had a pair of very expensive-looking, black, Jacobsen Swan chairs.
"Sit." Itachi motioned. The two boys did as they were told, sitting next to each other. Naruto dramatically scooted away, though, making loud scraping noises. "This mainly has to do with my moronic little brother, but I have something important to discuss with both of you."
"Just get on with it" Sasuke replied, indifferently.
"Sasuke" Itachi thundered. "This mainly is about you killing to much humans! We have baggies here in the dorms! Whats wrong with you!"
Here we go again. "I want fresh blood, Itachi!" Sasuke snapped. "The blood in the baggies are around two days old!"
"Well, because of you're stupid mistake, you are now imprinted with Naruto-kun." Itachi stated flatly. It only took a moment for the news to settle in.
"What?" Sasuke seethed. "This can't be true!"
"What's an imprint?" Naruto asked, dumbly. He hated not knowing what was going on. Itachi sighed.
"Well, Sasuke sucked your blood, and you lived. This is the first time I have heard of someone actually living, but when Kabuto extracted some, he identified a small trace of unknown blood in your system. We quickly traced it back to Sasuke, who we also discovered was out the other night, feeding, again." Sasuke 'tch'ed
"But what does that mean?" Naruto egged-on.
"Simple." Itachi then lifted a notebook, smacked Sasuke on the head. Sasuke looked rather unfazed, but Naruto yelped. "You share pain. Physical, and in some cases, mental. Occasionally, you will feel what the other is feeling, too. We don't have much information on imprints, and Kabuto doesn't yet know you two share one. I would like to keep this from him as long as possible. I'm sure he would want to...study you."
"That's creepy! And why didn't Sasuke feel any pain that time! Isn't there any way to get rid of it?" Naruto asked.
"Cause im not a wimp, and can actually handle pain..." Sasuke commented dryly.
"Yes. There are who ways to get rid if it." Itachi said, ignoring Sasuke's comments.
"One; you break your imprint, by imprinting with someone else. Or two; one of you has to die. Either way is extremely painful. I suggest learning to cope with it in the meantime. It will be awkward, considering your both... you know... male, but at least try to learn a little about each other. The better you cooperate, the easier this will be."
"Get along? With... HIM!" Naruto gestured dramatically, jumping out of his seat. "Hell no! He killed my best friend! Why can't he just die, and get rid of this stupid imprint!" He screamed, as he stormed out of the room. He slammed he door with so much force, the walls shook.
"Sasuke, what is he talking about?" Itachi asked sternly. Sasuke wouldn't meet his gaze.
"Nothing" He replied, simply.
"Well, whatever 'nothing' is, work it out. Whatever it takes, do you understand?" Itachi asked skeptically. Sasuke grunted.
Whatever it takes, huh? He thought. Then, I guess I should got talk to him about that spell...
As Naruto stormed down the hall, he fished out his schedule from his cloak's pocket, searching for his next class. His schedule went along the lines of this;
Name: Uzumaki, Naruto Number:65724 Mentor: Uchiha, Itachi
First Class: Vampire changes and Blood-Lust with Kakashi Hatake.
Second Class: Demon weaponry and history with Zabuza Momochi.
-Break-
Third Class: Kendo and Martial Arts with Roushi.
Fourth Class: Magic with Yukie Fujikaze
Fifth Class: Mission Board.
Assigned partner upon request: Uchiha, Sasuke.
Naruto stared at the 'assigned partner upon request' section. What the hell? He thought. Whatever. I'll deal with that bastard later. I have bigger things to focus on right now. He concluded, as he entered his first class.
Being the prestigious Uchiha he was, Sasuke was not used to cutting class. He had cut class a couple of times, and never was caught. But that was when he was human. Now, he was surrounded by highly trained vampires, who would probably figure out he was gone in minutes. He hastily rounded the corner, and caught the familiar shock of red hair.
There was a girl with bright maroon hair, and a black beanie snorting at a rather chunky boy, with a weird, flippy, orange hair-due.
"Tayuya. Jirobu." Sasuke called, strutting over to them. "Is Orochimaru in there?"
"Tch. Maybe, maybe not. Why? Whats it to you?" came the sassy reply from Tayuya.
"Yea, he is." Jirobu countered, glaring at the red-head.
"Gah! Fatty, you gotta let me have some fun once in a while!" She wined. Sasuke silently walked passed them and entered the classroom. It was eerie, and ridiculously clean. Weird species, and colorful tubes of chemicals lined the walls.
"Sasuke-kun?" Came the slimy teacher known as Orochimaru. "What brings you here?"
"I made... A mistake" Sasuke admitted through gritted teeth. Hey, it was never easy admitting you were wrong, especially is you were Sasuke. He only lowered his pride ever-so-often, when he was desperate. This would be one of those cases.
"Oh?" Orochimaru feigned shock. "And what dose our intelligent Sasuke-Kun need this time? hmm?" He smirked. He knew what Sasuke needed. All he had to do was say it. Of course, it came with a considerable price.
Sasuke sighed in defeat. "Orochimaru... I need you to teach me the art of necromancy." Orochimaru's smirk grew considerably wider.
"Very well. Are you sure?"
"Yea." The younger replied. Only that was a lie. He wasn't to sure himself. I have to. He thought. Itachi said whatever it takes. So that's just what I'll do.
Heyy! Its been a while, like, a week or two?...! sorry!
I know im not good at writing, or describing locations, but I tried to put more detail into this chapter. if you cant telll, then i guess all my hard work would have been in vain! TT_TT
Oh and for those of you who dont know, necromancy is basically the forbiden art of raising the dead. (thought it fitted orochimaru quite well...heh..)
I guess you can tell where this is going...?
Oh! Quick BTW:
-Yagura, Fuu, Yugito (sorry for making her sucha bitch), and Roushi are all other Jinchuuriki.
-Tayuya and Jirobu are from the "retreave Sasuke arc"
-Sora is from that long filler
anyways, thanks for reading!
