Chapter III – The Day They Met
Sasuke's POV
I can't focus.
"So class, today, we'll be discussing the Middle Ages." I flipped my book open to start the lecture.
I have the complete text in front of me coupled with the real life experience I had from those times, I know I should have mastered the topic by now. But why is it that my mind had gone blank? Darn, why am I lying to myself? It's that blonde's fault now, is it? Just a few minutes drowning in his exquisite beauty and here I am, an ancient vampire, thinking about a human. A HUMAN! It's driving me… nuts?
"Since you were all so behaved earlier, let's have a graded recitation. Anyone who can't share something about the topic will be given and F."
Phew! An escape route!
Almost automatically, a hand shot up in the air. Having a student recite during a graded recitation is surprising, but the person who had volunteered surprised me even more. It was none other than the object of my eye, Uzumaki Naruto. Alas! I can hear his gorgeous voice again! Heck, what am I saying! Odd, though, there wasn't much enthusiasm in his cerulean blue eyes. It was as if he was bored with the subject.
"Yes, Uzumaki-kun?" I called him. Damn, I felt my tongue tingle as I said his name. "Is there anything you'd like to share to the class?"
"Actually…" He began and then smirked mischievously at me.
He stood up and walked in front, stopping mere inches from me. He closed his eyes and breathed out, before starting. I was taken aback. He was stating every single detail of what transpired in the Middle Ages. It's as if, he'd been there. He even pointed out the smallest detail that only someone who lived in that certain time. With his articulacy, he had caught the eye of the female population. He actually got them to listen to a boring topic. Even my attention was caught. My, my.
"Ne, sensei. Did you know that vampires were also the main attraction of the Middle Ages?" His eyes then met mine. A glint shined in his crystal blue orbs.
Oho…
"Really, now? It wasn't in the textbook, though." I replied, keeping my voice as flat as possible
"I thought you know this oh so well, since you are teaching this subject for probably a long, long time now." Came his reply. He smiled mischievously at me.
What is he implying? Does he know I'm a vampire? But… He's just a normal human! I can't feel anything special from him. His aura is the same as a normal person's.
"No, I haven't encountered that yet. I know that a vampire is a fictional character, depicted by its pointed fangs, their lightning speed and their super human strength. But it's common knowledge. Even a child would know this…"
Shit… This is dangerous…
"But you know more than that. Right, sensei?" He egged on me.
I kept a firm eye contact with him. Of course, I didn't want him to be suspicious of my identity. Finally, as if on cue, the school bell rung. Naruto shrugged his shoulders and whispered something to be before turning his heel to gather his things and left. The other students stepped out of the classroom too, leaving me alone, bewildered by what the blonde had told me.
'You're hiding something from everyone, am I right?'
Those words hit me hard. He was on to me. I can feel it. The confidence in his voice had me worked up. I gathered my things and ran out of the classroom, searching for the blonde. It was crazy, really messed up. Hours had just passed since I met him, and yet, I feel that he knows everything about me. I had to confirm it. I had to make him spill whatever it is that he knows about me. Only then will I have a peace of mind.
It was just mid-day, and I'm pretty sure he was still in the campus. I tried searching in the cafeteria, but all I got was a swarm of female humans trying to get their paws on my body and if they can, in my pants. I shoved through them, making a silent note in my head to never go to the cafeteria during lunch. As I exited the building, I saw just the person who I was looking for. He was lounging by the rooftop, laying flat on his back as he watched the clouds go by.
"Uzumaki-kun…" I started.
"Hmm." The blonde sat up, before looking back to see where the sound came from. "Oh… It's you."
"Yeah… Aren't you glad?" I asked with the same sarcastic voice he threw to me.
"Well, what do you want?"
"What did you mean by what you said earlier?"
"Everyone has a secret or two that they're trying to hide from everyone. You have one, I have one. Everybody has one." He replied nonchalantly
"Oh… I see…" I tried not to stutter.
What am I getting so worked up for?
"It's just the degree of your secret. Let's see now… If my secret was to leak out, I'll be in grave danger. From dad and from the people I'm hiding this secret from. How about you?" He said playfully
"Well… I… I don't really… My secret doesn't matter that much… Except, of course, from the people I'm hiding it from."
Which is everyone in the human world….
"Oh, I see… Then I'm dying to know that secret of yours." He replied. "Well then, I'm off… I still have a class in thirty minutes. Good day to you, Uchiha-sensei."
Uzumaki Naruto… You're a mysterious fellow indeed…
Naruto's POV
"Oyaji, send Kiba here!" I whined through the phone. "Half of the Academy's population is a half breed. And by far, there are two full bloods, the Uchiha included."
"Why do you need him for? You just need to eliminate Sasuke. That is your only mission." Dad answered
"I know, I know. But it would be really troublesome for me to have half breeds attacking me again and again. At least if there's Kiba, then someone can help me kill them."
"…"
"Oh come on, baka oyaji (1)! Don't be so stingy!"
"Baka oyaji?" He repeated with a hint of irritation
"No… But… I… uh…" I was suddenly at loss of words
"Alright, fine. I'll ask him to go there once he's finished with his mission. Is that good for you, baka musuko(2)?"
"Hai, hai… Eh? Baka musuko?"
"Where did you see a mango tree bear apple? Hmmm? You can't. Ergo, a baka oyaji bears a baka musuko."
"Che…" I stuck my tongue out. As if he could see it, but what the heck. "Oh… And dad…"
"Hmmm?"
"Thanks…"
He then hung up and I did too. First day and I've already been attacked thrice. All of them are being controlled by a full blood that had created them. I was so not looking forward to my stay here. I slumped on the bed, after doing inventory on the weapons the organization has sent for me. There were indeed a wide collection of weapons, but if I was going to be attacked again and again, this won't do. I smiled to myself, proud that I did that baka oyaji a favor. Of course, it would be cheaper sending Kiba here than shipping some new equipment. Heck, Kiba's teeth are enough to pulverize any vampires.
Oh well, time to get some good night's sleep.
The next day wasn't as promising as I thought it would be. Word seemed to have spread through the half breeds because they just keep on coming at me while I sprinted my way to school. Note to self: take a cab. Before walking in the grounds, I snapped on my black belt choker around my neck. This would suppress my Hunter's aura, or so I was said. As of now, I wanted to have faith in that. I can't have those halves attacking me and blowing my cover to the Uchiha.
Hell, why didn't I think of wearing this before going to school? Boy, am I so stupid…
"Oh, you must be Naruto. Jiraiya just kept talking about you!" The greeting came from a… well… a busty, old, blonde woman who my godfather is married to as soon as I entered the University Head's office.
"You look younger and younger as the years go by, Tsunade-ba…"
"What was that, Naruto?" She snapped, cutting my speech midway.
"Tsunade-sama…" I finished, feeling cold sweat run down my forehead.
"Good." She then smiled and hugged me, pressing my face against her enormous breasts. "You looooook so adorable!"
Adorable? A Hunter? Well, for the record, she doesn't know anything about the vampire world or the Hunters. So I think I'll just let that pass. It's her husband, however, that is well affiliated with my dad. Jiraiya-jiisan is the one supplying us with weapons. Even the choker I'm wearing is actually a Jiraiya's original design. We see each other almost every day at HQ. Tsunade is the only one that's clueless of what her husband, I and the whole organization are doing.
"Oh yeah, classes are starting." She suddenly pulled back and rummaged through her folders. "Here it is!"
"My schedule?" I asked as I scanned through the barely readable writings on the piece of paper she handed to me
"That's right. Now, come on. I'll walk you to your class."
The school was huge, and it was surely at par with the academies in Europe. We passed through a couple of rooms before stopping at the rear end of the floor. I suddenly felt uneasy, sensing a lingering ki of a full blood. She then knocked, before entering the classroom. Strange though, the classroom is where the ki was concentrated. To my surprise, the professor which I was assigned to was none other than Uchiha Sasuke. Thank you, Tsunade-baasan for making my job much, much easier.
Found you, bloodsucker!
I smiled to myself, seeing how easy this mission would be. I suddenly decided to allure everyone with my charm – the vampire included. Maybe I can get him to fall for me and eventually, when he's already in my grasp, I'll slice his head off and end his pathetic immortal life. Ah… What a plan! And I really think I can make it work. The moment he saw me, I immediately felt like he fell for my charisma. It was inevitable anyway. This appeal that I have is like those pheromones vampires release. Maybe even stronger….
It looks like I'm going to have fun here…
The lesson with him went pretty darn well. It was about Middle Ages. My favorite subject… NOT. But, I did master it. Dad made me memorize everything that transpired during those times because it was the Golden Age of the Vampires. Of course, I see this as an opportunity to play a little with my bloodsucker professor. I recited the whole period with such eloquence, plus, even giving hints that I know his 'not-so-secret' identity. I even teased him more by the end of the lecture, saying that he's hiding something. Ha! It's hilarious. The stunned look on his face is epic. For sure, he would come to mean to dig deeper and try to make me spill the beans. And I was right! Heck, he was curious enough to follow me up to the roof top just to ask about it. Of course, my playful instinct reminded me to keep him hanging and guessing at all times.
Let's play Tom and Jerry for a while, ne, vampire?
