A/N: Hello readers. Sry for the late update, but I don't feel well lately. And I have a lot of stress.

anyway, here we go. Enjoy the chap.


'Do you trust me, Naruto?'

'Of course I do! It's just...'

'You can trust me... …'

'Haha, you foolish freak. Now I understand why your parents left you!'

'Hey! Isn't that the little crybaby? Oooh, look, the baby is sobbing again!'

'Why did you do that?! I thought you were my fr-friend...!'

'That happens to little idiots like you. It's your own fault you told me all those things.'

"Shit. Why now...?" the Uzumaki asked the ceiling of 'his' room. Deidara said he would live in there and he had to admin he somehow liked the idea. The room was not enormous, but a little bigger than his old bedroom in his apartment. And since the sun seemed to shine into his room almost all day he could be sure to get his time-out in here, because Sasuke wouldn't came inside. The sun was bad for vampires, right...?

Before he could think about that statement his stomach made a noise again and he stood up with a sigh. He opened his door and went to the kitchen, looking for something to eat. He had almost ate all the ramen so he needed something else. When he arrived in the kitchen he turned his head, deciding were he should start. He headed the fridge and opened it, but there were only some vegetables, bottles and rice-balls inside. "Blah..." the blond murmured and opened a small drawer and he rose an eyebrow when he saw some popsicles inside. That must have been a freezer, like there was one in mostly of the fridges, but why did Sasuke even have popsicles at home? Did he need food after all?

"Help yourself, please." suddenly someone said and Naruto flinched, jerking his head to the door. He wided his eyes slightly, his breathing hintched and he almost screamed for help, but when he got one glanze into the red eyes he calmed down again.

Sasuke stood there, his face directed to the ground and he scratched his head like he was up to jump over his shadow. But being a stuck-up bastard who was unbelievable proud of himself he took some time before he opened his mouth. "I wanted to apologize. The situation is confusing me and I'm not completely healed, as well as you. We should try to get along, at least a bit." the raven explained and looked up a bit, seeing the youth with the corner of his eye.

"Hm." the Uzumaki huffed but he had listened to him. After all, the Uchiha was – a little bit – right. If the 'cleaner' were vampires they, or better Naruto, was in big trouble. He wasn't able to defend himself from Sasuke, who seemed to not wanting to hurt him. How should he handle a group of vampires who probably wanted to kill him?

"The best solution is that I let you live, that you let me live and that we never speak about what happened, or happens, when we are included." the raven said and the blond nodded. Yeah, that seemed to be the best way. He could hear Sasuke breath released and he looked finally at him, not feeling the smallest bit of fear. If it came hard to hard he could still open the window next to him and burn him down. And by the way, why didn't came one single ray through the window?

"I was so free to think about a little deal." the Uchiha smirked and put his hands into the pockets of his pants.

"Deal?" Naruto repeated and the other nodded.

"I'll go with you visiting your friend if you agree to learn some of the missed stuff with me tomorrow." His smirk wided when the Uzumaki jumped up.

"No way! I don't want to learn, especially with some bastard like you!" he yelled and blowed up his cheeks.

"Well, it's your own fault you're such a looser. And it's as easy as that – if you don't cooperate you're not allowed to go outside." he smiled with a sing-song voice.

"The hell!" the lad screamed, "I can do whatever I want! And stop treating me like I were a child! If I want, I'll just walk out of the door right now! Believe it!!!"

Sasuke giggled lowly and smirked, "Like you could stop me from holding you back. You're just a human and I took so much blood I could handle twenty of you once." He lifted his pale hand and hold it in front of the Uzumaki, the smirk still over his face. "Deal?" he asked and the student bit his lips. He hated to admit that, but the raven got a point. At the moment he was no challenge for the blood-sucker. He needed more information.

He lifted his own, tan hand and shook it with the cold one with a "Deal."


Naruto looked outside the car-window, seeing a lot of buildings. Sasuke had drove his black sports-car to a hotel because Deidara had finished his shift and it was Sasori's turn then. The Uzumaki sat on the seat next to the driver and eyed the raven. The Uchiha had put on a long pullover with a hood and jeans so he was almost safe from the sunlight. His eyes had turned dark-blue because of the contact lens he was wearing.

"What are you starring at, dobe?" he asked after a while, his mouth hardly open when he spoke. Now the blond understood why he had that strange way of speaking – he could probably hide his abnormal teeth that way.

"Nothing, teme. I was just wondering why I can look outside the window while any sun comes inside." he answered, a bit more polite than usual. He was alone in the car with the vampire. Without help he would die in no time.

The raven blinked surprised and asked, "You noticed that?" He saw Naruto narrowing his eyes and smirked. It was almost funny annoying the human. "It's special glass. The light comes through, but the UV-rays not. I use the same in my apartment and Itachi and Sasori use it as well."

An uncomfortable silence grew between them and the Uchiha pushed a bottom so that the radio switched on.

The blond took a deep breath and laid back on the seat, his face slightly turning towards the older. Without noticing he started starring at Sasuke, he watched the dark hair rock to the site when he bowed a bit his head, loosing himself into the rhythm. Pale fingers tippled on the wheel and dark eyes closed meanwhile, cold, soft lips seemed to murmur the song. Naruto cought himself starring at those wonderful things which covered that sweet mouth. He almost lifted his hand in order to touch them, to grasp the pale chin and pull the head closer, tasting the soft lips. Blue eyes went a bit higher, wishing to remember the lustful expression from last night.

But, instead, he froze when he crossed the sight of the raven. Dark-blue eyes watched him and the blond felt how he became deep red. Fucking shit... Damnit Sasuke!, he thought and flinched when he heard a deep sigh.

"Could you stop blushing, moron? Please?" the Uchiha asked and turned his head so he saw the street. "Good morning. We are going to the drying-out-centre." he said and the youth blinked confused.

"I am sorry for letting you wait for me. Deidara's report was too full of meaningless things." a monotone, male voice answered and Naruto looked into the mirror. Sasori was already sitting behind them, but how had he got there? The lad haven't heard a noise!


Sasuke parked his car into a shady lot and sighed.

"Go ahead you two, I'll join you soon." he said and the red-haired already left the vehicle. Naruto waited a moment and wanted to ask him why, but he refused and stepped outside. Why was he caring so much for him? It was getting out of hand...

When he stood next to the sports-car he noticed the windows were tinted, it was impossible to look inside without open the door. And the fact he had parked in the shadow let the blond think the sun really killed vampires, or at least harmed them.

"Move. I hate being late." Sasori said and the youth turned his head, seeing the vampire was already far away. He ran after him and crossed his arms behind his head with a wide grin. The red-haired didn't react but went forward into the big building.


Naruto smiled all over his face and graped the handle for opening the door between him and his friend, but before he could push an ice-cold hand slided over his own, stopping him from doing anything. The blond looked up and rose an eyebrow, some kind of anger grew inside him. He wanted to see Gaara! And he even made a deal with the bastard for that!

"You have to think about what you say. If you lose one single word about what really happened, I would have to eliminate you." Sasori said, his bright-brown eyes looking at the lad. "So, tell me, why have you missed all these days, Naruto-kun?"

The blond dropped his head, his smile completely gone as he whispered, "On Halloween Sasuke-teme almost crashed with me and I was in a hospital in the neighbour town. I have still a shock and because of that I moved together with the bastard so he could help me properly if something is wrong..." The other nodded and let the tan hand go. The Uzumaki took one last breath and put on his smile before he opened the door and grinned when he saw his red-haired friend loosing control of his expression.

It wasn't that much, only his eyes wided a bit and his mouth snapped open for a few seconds, but that showed the youth how much Gaara was happy to see him.

"Naruto!" he called and stood up. But he had never been someone active, so the blond ran to him and hugged him tightly. And he was right, the red-haired hugged him back.

"I missed you, too." the Uzumaki whispered with a peaceful face. He was so warm comparing to the people who have been around him lately. "How have you been? Is it working?"


Sasuke stood in front of one of the doors, but he knew he was right.

Being a vampire was something he didn't even wish for his worst enemies, on the other hand his better senses were very useful. He could hear the high laugh and smell the scent of the blond boy. Yes, he was behind that door. He took one deep breath and pushed the handle, entering the room.

"Hi." he simply said and looked at the red-haired stranger. He must have been at Naruto's age. That surely was Gaara. He saw tired, empty eyes and he couldn't help it but stared almost angry at the human, feeling his face becoming cold, distant and his eyes narrowing. He hated addicted people and he hated the centre as well. He crossed his arms over his chest and dig his fingers into his own flesh.

"Hey, why are you so mad all of a sudden, teme?" the Uzumaki asked and the raven just laid on the wall next to the door. "Ah, I see. Too cool for answering, hu?" the blond said and shook his head. He lifted an arm pointed at the Uchiha. "Gaara, that is the stuck-up bastard," he turned his arm and pointed at the red-haired next to him,"Bastard, this is my friend Gaara." The vampire ignored them but he felt the green eyes on his body.

And, what almost freaked him out, he could feel how happy the Uzumaki was while he spended time with that... idiot.

Addiction... … Tch, he thought.


They spend a couple of hours at the centre and the blond wanted to stay even longer, but the two vampires forced the lad to leave. After all, it was in the middle of day and they usually slept that time.

"Thank you for visiting me." Gaara said with a neutral voice. Naruto smiled at him, a friendly, warm smile, and hugged him tightly once more.

"Never mind. I'm sorry I didn't come the last days." he answered and again he felt the warmth of the body in front of him. When did that became so... unfamiliar? The Uzumaki pulled back and grinned, "Look after yourself, okay? And keep going." The red-haired looked at him and his hand slided up to the blond hair and he gently touched it with a nod. "Fine... See you." he whispered and walked away, followed by the two vampires. Soon they sat in the car and Sasuke gave Sasori a big bottle.

"I took the half before I entered the centre, but you haven't drank a drop." he said and started the car.

"Thank you." the red-haired answered and took a swallow. The raven drove the car into the street while the blond narrowed his eyes.

"Why were you so unfriendly, bastard?" he asked and the Uchiha rolled his eyes. "Answer me, teme!" he hissed and Sasuke sighed.

"It's none of your business."

"Yes, it is! Gaara is my dearest friend! How dare you judge him!"

"Judge?" the other giggled. "You are pretty insolent, are you? Talking about judgement and calling me bastard in the same breath."

"Shut the fuck up! The difference is that Gaara trys to change the fact he is addicted, but you are doing nothing to change you are a bastard!" he yelled, but the raven just shook his head, a smile on his lips.


Naruto kept yelling at the Uchiha all the way home and when the car stopped he started starring at the raven's back angrily until said man opened the door to his apartment. When that happened, the blond jumped inside and ran to his bedroom, slamming the door shot.

He had had enough for the day and he soon fell into a dreamless sleep.
