A/N: Heyo! It's me! Updating finally! Aren't you proud of me? No? Well then sooooooorrrrryyyyyyy!
Disclaimer: I wonder if I beg enough if Masashi will let me have his characters? Prob not, but I can try.
"I'll have a big bowl of Miso Ramen!" He shouts at the old man. He was starving and ramen was his favorite food in the whole freaking world. Naruto looks over at his friend who is looking at the small menu with distaste.
"I don't understand how you can eat this stuff! It's so fatty and messy." The blonde rolls his eyes at Menma and looks around the small restaurant It wasn't busy as usual with only three other people in the shop, Naruto recognised them as regulars that came almost as much as he did.
Always nice to see others that love ramen like it should be loved.
"Shut up Menma, don't disrespect the food God." He chuckles at the older man. He would never know what the raven had against ramen, but Menma never really ate it.
Menma sighs and puts down the menu, instead looking over at the people in the restaurant.
"Not a whole lot of business huh?" The raven sighs and spins his rotatable stool in a circle. He was already getting bored, he tended to get reckless when bored.
The blonde chuckles and looks back at the old cooker in time to see him bringing him his first bowl of steamy goodness. Naruto smiles and reaches for the bowl and waste no time to dig in.
"So, Blondey, I'm still wondering what happened to you the day you were attacked? I know you have to remember something!" Naruto slurps a noodle in his mouth and sighs. Yeah, he remembered what happened, but he didn't think telling Menma that a jackass raven haired bastard of a vampire decided to take a bite out of him.
That's all I need, this idiot either laughing at me or getting serious and trying to stake every black haired man out there. I can never tell with him.
The blonde rolls his eyes and swirls his noodles around with his chopsticks.
"I really don't remember much… I think I was ganged up by some assholes who wanted to prove they were strong or macho or something." It was a poor excuse, but it wasn't unrealistic, even more so since Menma believed that he lived some criminal filled apartment complex.
"Some gang? I guess, but why you? Did ya do something to piss them off? Maybe stole one of their girls?" Menma chuckled and swirled around on his stool again. He really could be a child sometimes.
"I was probably in the wrong place at the wrong time." Naruto takes a big bite into his noodles. God he loved ramen.
"That's why you should move back in with Iruka! You would be much safer and he would take you to work and school. Plus I'll be there ready to whoop ass!"
Naruto laughed and coked on a noodle, coughing and chugging on his water to get it to go down. He put in a reminder to not laugh while eating.
"Menma I hardly think you can beat anyone's ass. Plus, I don't want to cause Iruka any trouble. He already has a lot on his plate, I don't think a growing teenager will be good for him."
"Then live with me!"
The blonde gives the raven a blank look. Naruto, living with Menma? An image of them pulling pranks on eachother and getting the house burnt down popped in his mind.
That would be a disaster. We practically try to kill each other all the time when we hang for long. Living together would definitely get us both in trouble.
"Menma, I think living together would be bad for our health." Naruto, to prove his point, pushes Menma in mid swirl, causing him to crash to the blonde doesn't look up from his bowl of food which was almost gone.
He could hear his friend groan and holds back a laugh. Sure he felt bad pushing his friend off the stool, but doing it is funnier. Naruto slurps on a noodle and finally glances down at Menma.
The raven was rubbing his back with a grimace on his face.
"You know you're going to die right?" The raven groaned out.
Naruto smiles, " You know you're an officer of the law and threatening a citizen with death is against the law right?"
"Who cares? Not like anyone important heard me. Besides, you know I could never hurt you! You're too much of an idiot!(1)" The raven gets up and slings an arm the blonde, a goofy grin plastered on face.
The blonde glares at him and pushes his empty bowl aside. He pushes the man off him and stretches his arms into the air.
"AH! It feels good out tonight!" Naruto sighs and rubs the back of his neck. He was starting to get a weird feeling, like he was being watched. He looks around but it's still the same people as there before. The blonde rolls his eyes.
I need to stop being paranoid.
"So, Naruto, haven't seen the dog boy around. What you do? Scare him off?"
The blonde sighs; he hadn't seen his best friend in about two days now, ever since he fainted in class. It wasn't too much a big deal, but the two usually were glued to each other everyday. But since Naruto blew him off about him being injured, they haven't said really one word to each other.
I feel like I need to apologize, but I don't know for what. Besides, the bastard hasn't visited me yet so he needs to say sorry to me! Right?!
Naruto sighs again. "He's just been busy lately with school and home. I'm sure we'll be trying to kill each other again soon."
Menma laughs then gives Naruto a strange look. Said blonde raises a brow at the change.
The raven haired man leans in close to the blonde, his eyebrows scrunching together in concentration.
"Naruto. We need to talk."
Sasuke's eyes were blazing red as he look from Naruto to the raven haired. He wasn't necessary angry, but he was irritated beyond belief, and maybe a little curious. He narrows his eyes as the raven haired man spins around in the chair.
There was something wrong with the man. The aura surrounding him wasn't light like the others, but some weird murky dark color.
He's definitely not human, but he's hardly a demon or monster. I don't recall ever someone like him… And if he doesn't stop touching my Blonde, I swear….
The raven lets a low growl out from his hiding spot at the back of the store. He was bending the shadows to keep him hiding from everyone else in there, but he had a feeling that if Naruto's friend look over, he would see him. Like he cared though, if he saw him what would the boy do? Try to attack him? Hardly; the kid looked like he couldn't even take on Naruto from the looks of it.
Speaking of said Dobe, the blue eyed teen was staring right at him. Sasuke cocks and eyebrow in questioning. Could the idiot see him? He was positive he was covered in the shadows. He watches in amusement as the blonde looks around the store before rolling his eyes in annoyance.
I guess he can't see me… But he probably felt my presence.
The vampire looks over at the raven, his eyes narrowing in suspicion. If that adorable idiot could somewhat sense him, did that mean that this creature could?
Itachi sighed as he looked at the area he was in. It was a base for his kind's so-called government. It was outside the border of the country he resided in. A small area that always seemed to rain. Even now the vampire could hear the strong downpour.
Why am I here again? Oh… My foolish little brother of course.
He glances at the small room he was in. It had no windows and had no source of light. It didn't matter since he could see perfectly. He was currently resting in a cushioned chair in front of a desk. He was summoned here a few days ago and had arrived about an hour ago. They told him to go into this room and he's been in there ever since. He was getting impatient.
Itachi sighs as he hears the click of the door. Finally. He was ready to get this over with and go have a little chat with a certain Uchiha brat.
"Ahh Itachi Uchiha." The raven wanted to roll his eyes. He hated this guy with a passion. Why did it have to be him?
The man walks around the room and sits at the desk. The man had a picture in his hand. Itachi couldn't see the image, but he knew it couldn't be good.
"Seems like you and your brother are doing well." The raven wanted to roll his eyes.
"Why am I here? If it's for idle chit chat I would rather leave."
The man chuckles and waves the photo in the air. "Your brother seems to have found something of interest, Itachi." The man lays the photo down and passes it toward the raven.
In the picture was the blonde child that Sasuke was fascinated with. The child was sleeping soundly and without a care in the world. Itachi just glances back up at the man.
"So I see you have seen his new food supply. What of it?"
The man takes the pic back and examines it. "Oh nothing too bad. It's normal for younger vampires to keep humans alive for a few weeks for their blood and to torture them." The man glances from the side of the picture at Itachi.
"Except when HE becomes interested, Itachi." The man laughs and throws the photo down on the desk.
"Now I personally don't know what's going to happen, but I do hope your brother doesn't have a strong infatuation with his food." The man laughs again.
Itachi held back a sigh. This was going to be more trouble than that blonde was worth. Sasuke was just gonna have to kill the child and get it over with.
Even he should know that if HE gets his hands on the blonde, the poor will wish he was dead.
The raven sighs at the situation and makes to get up. He just wanted out of here. He did have a certain brother to scold.
He heard the man chuckling from behind him. God, he really did hate him.
