A/N: Hehehehe, hi guys! ~Casually looks away awkwardly~ I know most of you want to rip me to pieces with all the waiting and such, but it's not my fault! Blame school and their homework, exams, essay's, etc. Please don't kill me! Anyway, enjoy the chapter and review. I'm watching you. ~Baka Author.

Disclaimer: Sadly they are not mine, even after I offered to give him my lifetime supply of Pocky. Masashi just laughed and told me to have a good day before having his guards escort me away from his property.

"Darkness is a consuming thing. It is all you can see, isn't it?"

He looks around the dark cavern. He couldn't make out anything, not even his hand that was waving in front of his eyes. Naruto tries to identify where the dark voice is coming from. It sent chills up his spine; the voice was low and sounded like shards of glass and sand paper were clogging his throat. It held no emotion what so ever. The blonde wanted to shout his frustration at the darkness.

'Who are you? Where am I and why can't I see?' His voice echo's all around him, slowly fading away in the distance.

"I pity you kid. You are innocent, not tattered by life's pollution. Life never came easy to you, yet you never let IT consume you. It was by total tragedy that something worse was forced upon you."

Naruto does a one-eighty spin, his eyes flying wildly around the room, attempting once again to locate the ominous voice. He was starting to freak out. Where the hell was he and who was this guy spouting God knows what?!

'What the hell is going on? Who are you? Where the hell am I?'

"You are with me, and I'm here to help you. Look, this wasn't supposed to happen to you, never to anyone, but it does when THAT catches you in its sight. I would be scared if I were you."

This made the teen freeze what he was about to say. This wasn't making any sense. What was this guy talking about? He had to be crazy right? Then where was he and how come he couldn't see anything. Maybe he was dreaming. Yeah, that sounded more logical to his young mind. It's only just a dream.

"Yes, innocent indeed. If you think this is a dream, then I suggest you pray that your life ahead of you is only a nightmare and not some hell you can't escape from. I'll be seeing you kid."

'Wait! What are yo-'

He is surrounded by fire. It's licking at his tan flesh, eating it away. Reds and bright oranges dance around him gracefully, slashing their hot fingers across him. He could hear the crackle of burning flesh and smell the hint of cooking meat.

The pain is unbearable. It felt like he was being skinned alive. His heart felt stiff and hurt to beat, like a knife had been thrusted deeply into it and left to rust. Naruto screams out in pain and falls to his knees, hugging his sides as he feels his insides melt and burn away like water. His eyes are tightly shut, but he could feel the heat evaporating the moisture in them.

'God, make it stop! Please, I'm begging you! I want it to stop. Oh God, JUST KILL ME!'

"Naruto." He opens his eyes and lets out a gurgled blood filled scream as Red eyes pierce his soul.

Naruto's eyes open and widen. He was on fire, he could feel it. It was consuming him like fuel, taking away his life force. He gasps for air that won't come to his lungs and shoots up from the mattress he was laying on.

I'm dying…

He clutches his sides and falls back into the cushion, unable to stand the pain. He slams his eyes shut and lets out a small whimper. If he was dying, then let him die already. He wanted to be rid of this pain. He forces his eyes open into small slits and glances around the room, which wasn't much considering it was covered by a white curtain. The teen figured that he was at a hospital. Said person could make something out behind the curtain, it looked like a person. Maybe they would help him, put the fire out before it completely ate him.

"H-help me." His voice was weak, but Naruto knew the person heard him by the way the curtains were hastily pulled back and a blonde woman came running in. His slinted eyes take in the woman, her black pants and green dress shirt, hugging her filled out chest, her fare but rough skin, her soft pale blonde hair tied into two tails, and her hazel eyes filled with concern and worry. The blonde instantly recognized the woman.

What's Tsunade doing here?

"Naruto? Thank God you're awake." She bends down to him and examines the teen. Her eyes widen and she places a hand roughly against his forehead. She yanks her arm back like she was burnt. She clutches her finger tips as she grows more concerned.

"You're burning up. I'll get you some water and find Sizune. I can't legally give you anything. I'll be right back."

No, don't leave me here to die alone. Please!

"Tsun-" The blonde cringes as a new wave of heat passes through him, his chest suffocatingly tight. He curls himself into a tighter ball, his nails digging sharply into his sides.

What the hell was happening to him? He wasn't sick this morning, sure he was beat up, but not sick or anything. Wait… How did he get beat up? What happened before he woke up at the hospital? The blonde racks his mind through the pain, trying to get glimpse of his memories. The last thing he remembered is hanging out with his friend, Kiba.

What happened to me? I can't remember anything after Kiba left the house.

Something cold passes the boy's inflamed cheek, causing him to shiver at the sudden relief. The touch was light and feather like, caressing the scared flesh gently as if not to break it. Every movement brought a new small path of cool mist across his face, relieving some of the heat and pain. Naruto lets out a small gasp.

What did Tsunade get? Whatever it is, it's working. I wish she would put the stuff all over me so that way I can stop feeling this. I never want to feel like this again. I feel like I'm being burnt alive. I need to ask her why she's even here, maybe after she cures me of this illness.

"Do you want it to stop?" That wasn't his boss's voice or even a female's voice at all. It was a man's. It was low and had a soothing tone to it. It was a familiar voice, but Naruto couldn't place it to anyone.

Who is this? Maybe it's a nurse helping to cool me off? But why would he ask something like that?

The teen tries to look behind him to see the person, but can't manage it as heat rushes up to engulf him once again. He moans in pain, praying for it to go away.

"Do you want it to stop, Naruto?" The voice hasn't left its low and calm demeanor, but the blonde could feel the urgency in his words. He wanted the teen to answer now. He almost cries out when the cold comes back, dampening the flames.

Naruto opens his dry mouth. "Y-yes, help me, please."

He hears a sigh. It almost sounded of relief, but he wasn't sure. The pain was fogging his mind making it hard to concentrate.

"Good. Close your eyes and don't open them." He does as he's told.

I wonder what he's going to do.

A cold object is pressed against his lips. Naruto could feel the soft smooth texture of it, could feel something cool pouring from the object, dampening his mouth and chin. A smell rafts up to his nose. It smelt of mildew or something old that hasn't been touched in years.

"Open your mouth and drink. You will feel normal afterwards." The teen doesn't hesitate and takes the liquid into his mouth. He takes a big gulp of the cold substance.

Freezing chills swarm through his body starting from his throat to his feet and fingers. It felt like his inside were freezing over, hardening and crystalizing. The pain of the fire was fading, but a new pain erupted. It was so cold that it was beginning to hurt, to drown and suffocate him in a whole new way. The blonde could feel his heart start to slow down to an almost non-existent beat. The feeling scared him.

Is this what it feels like to die? I hope it ends quickly. I don't want the fire to come back.

The object the blonde was drinking from is pulled away gently, leaving him gasping for air. Naruto's body was shivering uncontrollably from the cold it was feeling. The pain he was feeling edged away as numbing began to settle within him. His body was shutting down on him.

"Don't worry about the cold; it will fade in a few minutes."

Ha. I'll believe that when it actually does.

"What's…H-happening t-to me?" Damn, he was so freaking cold.

He hears soft shuffling behind him as the mystery person moves around. What he was doing, Naruto wasn't sure. He couldn't find the energy to look and find out.

"Nothing special for people in your situation. Your body is just experiencing the effects of the parasite from the bite you received last night."

"Parasite? A-am I sick?" There's a light sigh behind him.

"No, you're healthy as any Dope could be. The parasite is nothing more than a small infection that will give you the sensation of being on fire. It… it will fade as long as you keep drinking the medicine. Nothing to worry about."

True to his word, the cold was slowly going away into a dull throb. The teen sighs in relief and takes a deep breath. He flexes his fingers and toes, bringing back some life in them. Naruto then lets the words set in. What the hell kind of bug makes you feel on fire and not harm you in any way? Something wasn't right here.

Something doesn't feel right. This nurse or whoever isn't telling me everything…

"You're lying to me ar-" He turns around from his laying position to interrogate the person face to face, but said man was nowhere to be seen. All there was was a window with its drapes parted, letting a soft breeze roll in, and the pale walls surrounding them. Not even a trace of another human being ever standing there. A small chill runs through the blonde's body and not from the fading cold.

Am I losing my mind? I was just talking to some guy just now, wasn't I? I had to be other whys I wouldn't be better and would still be burning. So, where did he go? I would have seen him move to the door if he was leaving. No way that he could have left from the window; I can see the top of houses so I'm on the third story of the hospital or something.

What was that stuff that guy gave him?

"Naruto?" The blonde twists his head to see that Tsunade had returned with her childhood friend Sizune. Naruto always thought they made a weird friend group. Sizune was kind, modest and gentle, has dark brown hair, black eyes, and was short of flat chested. Tsunade was the exact opposite with her bad attitude and violent streak, long blond hair, hazel eyes, and chest bigger than two watermelons.

I guess it's true when they say opposites attract.

Sizune briskly walks over to him and places a cool hand on his forehead. She narrows her eyes in confusion before slowly letting her hand fall back to her side. She then glances to her friend and shakes her head. The room falls into an awkward silence. Wanting to break said silence, he asks what's currently on his mind.

"Hey granny and Sizune. Can you tell me what happened?"

The two share a look before Dr. Sizune coughs and looks down at the small clipboard in her hands. The teen could see a doodle of a pink pig with a dark blue vest clothing it. It was no doubt that it was her pet pig. The blonde found it amusing that such a clean and prompt lady would have such a messy pet.

"Well, we were going to ask you the same thing. Iruka explained to us that you went to school covered with scrapes and bruises, and paler than paper. When I examined you, it was confirmed. Just from one look I could tell, really. You also have a nasty gash on your head, but it's not deep enough that it requires stitches. Just keep it cleaned and you should be fine. No sign of a concussion. Your teacher also said that you were fighting with the new student before you passed out in class."

She pauses, waiting for the young man to confirm everything, but how could he? He doesn't remember anything besides messing around with Kiba. Wait… Kiba left and then he went to work. Did something happen to him while he was heading there? There was only one way to find out.

"I don't remember any of that." He turns his attention to his boss who had yet to say anything.

"Tsunade, did I come into work yesterday?" The question surprises her, but the owner recovers and slowly shakes her head.

"No, you didn't. I was worried and tried to call you, but you never answered. I should've come to check on you."

Naruto shakes his head and sighs. This was so confusing. "Don't worry about it. You had a restaurant to run. You can't just stop what you're doing to look after some blonde kid you hired by chance."

"Naru-" The blonde waves her concern away and gives a weak smile. The doctor takes the chance to speak up. With a small cough she gains the two blonde's attentions.

"I have come to the conclusion that Naruto has short-term amnesia. Might be from trauma or from hitting your head. I don't know. Before you ask, I don't know if you will gain the memory of the last two days. Usually when a patient loses months, years, or even their life's worth of memories, they almost always come back eventually. This can't be said for people who lose just a few days. It could come back within a few hours or it could be a year from now. It could also never come back. There's just not enough for the brain to go on to regain what it has lost."

The blonde looks away, toward the window, and lets out a soft sigh. So he may never gain his memories back. That sucks.

Don't forget, she said there was a chance for it to come back, so let's be optimistic OK, me?

His mind wonders back to the stranger who was with him earlier. Should he ask Sizune about it?

No, that would just more trouble than it's worth if it turns out there was never a nurse in here.

"Don't worry about it kid, who needs two days' worth of memories anyway?" He glances back at his boss, who is giving him a genuine smirk. She was a strange one, his boss.

"The police will need them." Both blondes look to the darker haired woman. She glances calmly at the two of them before sighing. The two blondes could be so clueless.

"Obviously Naruto over there was beaten, and possibly robbed. Though his wounds seem to healing quickly, they are still there for the whole world to see. I had to inform the police of this; it's the policy."

Naruto lets an aggravated groan pass his lips before falling face-first into the stiff hospital mattress. He wasn't a fan of the police, not in the slightest. Sure they helped people and solve crimes and things, but they were always in his business and were strict with him. He blamed it on his parents being murdered years ago when he was barely a few hours old.

I don't see why they care so much. Murders happen here from time to time, but that doesn't mean the cops all on the victim's family's cases.

"Did you really have to call them?" His voice is muffled by the pillow currently suffocating him.

"Yes, Naruto, I did. I could lose my job if I didn't, especially since you are a minor."

The blonde feels a hand on his shoulder. He knew it was Tsunade; Sizune never touched him if she didn't have to. The teen had a suspicion that the doctor didn't like him all that much. (1)

"Nar-" The door bangs open before she has time to finish. He turns his head slightly to peek out at the intruders and wishes he hadn't. Standing before them were two officers, both dressed in dark blue uniforms and black hats that have their badge copy sewed into them.

Officer Rei was short and fat. He heard balding black hair and a thin mustache gracing his upper lip. His eyes were a murky gray and sharp, but the blonde could tell the man had a kind side. He had wrinkles from smiling and laughing too much, and the sharpness of his eyes were fake. That, and Naruto knew said man for years now. The officer would visit him from time to time to check with him and bring him sweets. Hell, the man even watched him every day when he came down with the flu.

Not all cops were mean and strict.

All in all, he was happy that Rei was one of the guys coming to talk to him. The other guy not so much.

His partner was short, really short. About as short as the blonde himself. He was younger than the other guy and had a thick head of spikey black hair. His eyes were blue; they rivaled the teens own blue eyes, except they were cold. And had three whisker marks scars on either side of his tan cheeks. To Naruto, it was like looking into a mirror where you see your other self, your bad self.

Officer Menma was like his evil twin. Always picked own him when they were younger. They were only two years apart and the idiot found amusement picking on his younger neighbor.

The blonde stares at the young officers scars and cringes. Guilt builds into his stomach.

I see that they haven't gone away yet. He should get the scars removed or something.

About four years ago, Menma was kidnapped by a deranged stalker that wanted the blonde. When said blonde went into hiding, the lunatic decided that the raven look-a-like would work too. He wanted the officer to look exactly like the blonde teen that he dyed the others hair and took a knife to cut clean whiskers on his face. It was a week before Rei and the others found him.

Naruto blamed himself for being a coward and running away.

"Hello, Naruto. Sounds like you had a rough time recently." Rei offers him a warm smile and wave.

"Brat, I see you can't go a few days without getting into some kind of trouble." Menma crosses his arms and stares at him, making the teen squirm somewhat. He didn't like being around the raven man. The man meant trouble and pain, for the blonde teen.

Tsunade notices and glares at the officers. She ruffles his blonde hair and places a hand on her hip.

"Sorry guys, looks like you came all the way down here for nothing."

"Oh?" Both say in unison.

"Naruto doesn't recall what happened, so he can't tell you anything." Sizune nods in agreement to her friend's words.

Menma frowns and glances to his partner in crime. They silently commute for what seems like forever, but actually only a minute, before both nod.

"Don't care. We still need to ask him some stuff, so would you ladies please exit the room and maybe NOT stand by the door. We don't like eavesdroppers." The raven sure did have a way with words.

At least he doesn't cuss when he's on duty, or in public with people around. That would be a great reputation starter.

Sizune and his boss stare at the police men, one calmly, the other looked ready to yell her pretty blonde head off. Apparently blondes just didn't like the cops. (2)

The doctor finally reaches for her enraged companion and the two leave the room, Tsunade shutting the door with a loud, angry, smack. It is silent in the room, Naruto still lying face down into the mattress.

The younger cop takes the first move and walks over to the bed only to sit on top of the injured teen.

"It's been a while, hasn't it, shorty? Feels like only yesterday we were playing tag at the park. Now we barely get to talk to each other."

Said shorty squirms and pushes against the bed to push the other male off of him. It wasn't hard. The blonde coughs, his bruises and cuts stinging, and sits cress-crossed since the other half of the bed was taken over by a crazy person. Who does that to an injured person?! He glares at said person.

"I recall me screaming and trying to get away from you in fear of my life. What part of that was a game?" Laughter fills the room.

"Shut up. You know you loved it. We were such good friends back then. Still are."

"Says you."

"Stop denying it you short ass loud mouth." Gotta love Menma. Ok, Ok, They were friends, great ones. Nothing compared to Kiba, but a close second. That didn't mean Naruto had to like it! It was so exhausting being friends with a sadistic person.

"OK you too. Enough fighting. We are here on a job." Officer Rei may have said it, but you could tell he didn't mean it. His eyes were filled with amusement, and a smile graced his chubby features.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know. Ok, let's get started. First question; why are you stupid enough to let yourself get mugged?" Menma found himself smashed against the cold, hard, floor, a foot print on his back. Naruto whistles an innocent tune, ignoring his sores and aches.

Ugh, I feel awful.

"You were saying, Rei?"

The older cop sighs-he was trying to hide his laughter- and takes a seat next to the bed, being mindful to not step on a certain officer who had yet to pick himself up. He was probably sulking about being treated so roughly.

"What do you remember over the last 48 hours?" The blonde cocks his head in thought.

"Well yesterday I woke up, went to school, went home and had Kiba over for a while. He left and then I think I left for work. It gets hazy around there." Pretty normal besides forgetting. He pondered if he should mention the mystery person that helped him, but couldn't bring himself to say anything.

Weird. Usually I would tell Rei something like this. Why can't I now?

"So that mutt's allowed over and I'm not?" Comes a muffled reply. The bruised officer is ignored.

"I see. There isn't much we can do then." There's a short pause before the balding raven stands with a small grunt and fixes his wrinkled shirt. The younger raven hears this and quickly rights himself, standing up and glaring at his childhood friend, his face pink from having contact with a solid mass.

He deserved it. His eyes wonder to the scars on the officers cheeks. He didn't deserve that though.

The two men make their way to the door, only to turn around before opening said door.

"I'm coming over to your place every day for the rest of the week you snot nosed brat!" Menma was still peeved about him not being able to come over.

"I'll call in on you and will probably drop by a few times to see if you happen to remember anything. " Rei gives a reassuring smile and turns to leave. He opens the door, and both men exiting the small room, letting the door shut with a soft click.

Naruto stares at the white piece of metal before slipping off the bed, landing wobbly on his feet. His back was stiff and sore. Despite this, he couldn't stay still for long. He had just too much energy in him to just kick it easy.

He bends down and places his shoes on his feet. The blonde was thankful they didn't put him in that awful paper dress, and let him stay in his clothes instead.

"And where do you think you're going?" He looks up and sees Sizune standing at the doorway. He gives her a cheeky smile.

"I figured I was able to go home now, right?" It wasn't like he was dying, and he could use a long walk. A memory of earlier pops in his head.

"Hey, Sizune, can you feel like you're on fire but not be sick?" It was really bugging him.

She's silent for a moment before nodding her head. "Yeah. It's just when your body suddenly has an increase of temperature, or so you think. It's called a heat wave for short. Same thing for being suddenly cold."

Maybe that guy was right.

"Where's Granny?" He just noticed the violent woman wasn't with them.

"She got a call from one of her employees. Said she had to go ASAP. Told me to let you know she won't dock you pay for yesterday and not to come in till next week. Oh, and yeah you can leave as soon as you sigh yourself out."

The dark haired doctor turns and walks out of the room, muttering a quick buy. Naruto chuckles and also makes his way from the room. He's been cooped up in that room for too long.

The teen signs out and practically ran out of the building. It was getting dark outside. He wanted to get home and take a long shower then sleep the rest of the day away. Let his aching body heal.

It feels awfully good outside for it being the middle of winter.

Red eyes follow his movements from high up in a tree. A low chuckle escapes pale lips.

"So, that is the famous Uzumaki child. Seems he'll suffer then same fate as them. Itachi's brother has an interesting taste."

A crow cries in the distance.

He opens the door with a ease and blinks at the darkened room, a small patch of light illuminated just the carpeted floor and nothing else. It was cold in the small apartment, a usual in the cheap place. Their heaters didn't work and his store bought one broke last month. The blonde hadn't the time to replace it.

Maybe that lazy cheap ass of a manager could call to get the HIS heaters fixed for his clients? He's going to end up with a lawsuit of freezing some ones toes off.

Naruto flips the switch and stumbles through the apartment as the light darkens and brightens until a soft glow illuminates the room. He stretches his arms, the pain was dull and barely there. It's amazing what aspirin does to aches. The long walk had had also cleared his mind and he remembered some things he wasn't sure were real or not.

He was attacked walking to the restaurant. He could remember someone drinking his blood. It was a weird feeling. He felt disgusted that this was happening to him. He fainted and woke up in his apartment and found cuts and bruises but not remembering anything. He went to school and ran into Sasuke, the new kid. The new kid was his attacker, was a vampire.

Maybe I'm just mixing horror and reality together. Sasuke could be my attacker, but he just beat the living shit out of me. Or it could all just be my imagination. Either way, I better not say anything to I prove if he did it or not, or even if he's real.

The blonde shakes his head and walks into the small room, not bothering to turn on the light. The living room glow was enough for him to see enough to reach the refrigerator. He opens the small metal door and lights alights the area. The teen moves containers around till he finds a small bottle near the back. He examines it and looks at the date.

I haven't had bottled water in a while, but it should be good right? Water doesn't have an expiration date, I think.

He shrugs and straightens back up, and stiffens as he notices someone standing next to him from the corner of his eye. Who the hell could be in his house at this time of night?

Maybe it's Kiba, trying to scare me.

"So, who are you?" The blonde was glad he sounded nonchalant. Can't have the other person thinking he was worried or anything.

"Hn. Thought I told you not to forget me." That wasn't the mutt's voice. This one was deeper, calmer. It was familiar somehow. This isn't the first time he's heard said voice. A shiver of fear crawls up his spine, but he forces it back down.

The teen slowly turns his head and looks up into onyx eyes. Pale skin follows with raven black hair shaping his handsome features. He was looking at Sasuke, the new kid.

So at least I know he's real.

Naruto steps back and reaches for the light, finding it quickly and switching it on. He blinks as light fills the room and notices the raven isn't in front of him anymore. He feels warm breathing next to him. He yelps, tripping, and falling on his butt. Sasuke stares down at him with amused eyes.

"Dope." Naruto wanted to smack that smirk right off of him. How did he get next to him so fast?

"What are you doing in my apartment?!" Answers first, ass whooping later.

"Nothing. I thought I'd be nice and heal your wounds. I can't have my food looking damaged and unhealthy." His words are confusing to the teen on the floor.

Food? What does healing my wounds have to do with food? Does he think I'll feed him or something?

"Get out. You are technically breaking and entering my place. I'll call the cops." Suddenly the raven is in front of him. To be more specific, kneeling between his legs. Pale hands grab his face, keeping him in place.

What the hell?

"You won't call the cops. And the door was unlocked anyway. You shouldn't do that. Lock it next time. Now, shut up and let me heal you." Sasuke inches closer to the blonde's face. Said blonde raises his hands to push him away, but the raven quickly retrains them with one of his own hands. The action causes him to fall back into the floor without anything keeping him up. He struggles against the other males grip.

Damn, this guy's strong. Maybe he really is a vampire…

"Let me go bastard!"

"Shut up. You are really annoying." The raven was straddling him now. Said raven grabs the hymn of his shirt and swiftly pulls it up until it's covering Naruto's flustered face.

"Now, where should I start? You're stomach looks fine, but I'm sure your back is scrapped up pretty bad. I think I'll start with your arms first though." The blonde could feel the person on top of him move; see his shadow looming over his face. He could feel cold breath hitting his arms. He struggles harder, turning one way then the other, but to no avail.

This isn't good.

Something slick and warm runs over cuts and messages at the dark blemishes. A blush dust over tan cheeks as the teen realizes what that slick object is. His body burned under the man's touch.

Oh God, he licking me…

The ministrations continue until Naruto could feel both of his arms begin to itch like crazy. It was like ants were running up and down them. He felt disgusted that he couldn't do anything to stop the pervert from having his fetus way with his arms.

"Now the back." The blonde is released momentarily and he tries to run away; like hell was he giving the raven another chance to touch him. He turns so that he's on his stomach, shirt still block his vision, and pushes himself to his hands and knees, before his arms are grabbed quickly and his chest smashes against the tiled floor. His breath leaves him and begins gasping for oxygen.

Shit, I wasn't quick enough. I have to get away from this guy!

"Tch. Dope, stop resisting. The faster you corporate, the better you'll feel and the faster this ends."

The restrained teen blushes as he realizes his position, his breath coming in short gasp. Head to the floor and ass in the air. His face grows hotter as he hears deep chuckling right above him.

"I like you being under me, don't you? I wouldn't mind doing this again in the bed." It should be illegal for a person to feel this hot and flustered. His heart is beating fast and he's trembling. Yes, he's scared. He doesn't want this man to touch him, lick him, anything. He just wants this guy to go away and never come back. He hates that his body was reacting this way. How it warmed to the raven's touch, make him blush and feel flustered. He could feel tears pricking at his eyes.

This can't be happening.

He closes his eyes and waits for the inevitable. It doesn't come; instead the blonde hears a sigh and Sasuke let's go of his arms. Naruto opens his eyes and slowly sits up, pushing his shirt back in place. He turns his head to his attacker and blinks at him. The raven was sitting, legs crossed, and glaring at him.

"What?" He growls.

The teen dents his brows in confusion. "You stopped."

"Hn."

"Why?"

"Would you rather me continue?"

He quickly shakes his head no, face still red but it was fading.

"Your whining was annoying. I didn't want to hear it anymore. Healing you isn't worth that."

Healing? Sure he's heard that saliva can make injuries heal quicker, but that's not an excuse to start licking some random stranger. The blonde looks down at his arms and gasp; they were void of any wounds or bruises.

"Don't look so shocked. Vampires have strong healing remedies in our saliva, better than you humans. Dope."

The word vampire has Naruto's mind swirling and he faints.

Wait, why am I fainting if I knew he was one?!

Sasuke blinks down at the unconscious body. He closes his eyes and sighs, rubbing one of his temples slowly.

"Great, my food source likes to faint all the time. First time was my fault I'll give him that."

He stares down at the human child and smirks. The Dope's skin tasted almost as good as his blood. Definitely a great source of food, this one. He remembers the feel of the tan kid underneath him; it felt good.

I wonder how he's in bed. He smells like a virgin… No, I will not have sex with this idiot. I barely know the guy and I doubt he would want me fucking him into the bed, table, couch, couch sounds nice…No I won't. I don't want to start getting attached to something that will die soon. I refuse to turn him into a vampire also.

The raven examines the sleeping form and lets his smirk widen. He could see the blonde's tan back due to his shirt being ruffled from the falling boy. He could make out a few scrapes. With the idiot asleep, he won't complain about anything. A mischievous glint forms in his eyes.

I'm just healing him. Nothing more, nothing less. He won't feel a thing either. From what I can tell, the guy sleeps like the dead. (3)

"It's your fault for passing out like an idiot. At least your wounds will be gone."

He begins to inch his way over to the unsuspecting sap.

(1)-In the anime, Sizune is always weary of Naruto. I think she warms up to him though. Haha.
