A/N: Hello dear readers. I'm sorry it took so long for uploading, I had a really busy week and now I'm on holiday for a few days. I'll try to upload the chapters, but if I don't manage it, forgive me, please Dx
Anyway, here the next chap. And HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!!!
When Naruto woke up again it was darker than before. He lifted his upper body and yawned, scratching his eyes. How long had he slept? Since Halloween he lost almost all sense of time, but in those two days he had slept definitely better. His body felt relaxed and refreshed and seemed to thank the boy for that with new power. He stretched his arms and sat up, checking once more his new room. The sweet smell was back and somehow he licked that. The Uzumaki loved sweet things. First came ramen and then anything sweet – sugar, ice-cream, chocolate and every kind of cake.
"Uhm... Maybe I should dress up..." me murmured half sleeping and noticed he was wearing the things from earlier. "Argh fuck..." Great. Now it was dawn and he was so refreshed he wouldn't sleep the whole night. Just great. He stood up and stepped to his wardrobe, pulling out a black shirt and orange jogging-pants. He undressed and put on the new cloths, deciding he would take a shower later. He threw his other cloths on a chair and blinked when he saw something on his desk. It looked like a small figure and when he walked closer he recognized it. A small version of a chibi-fox with orange fur which was sitting. It had big ears which were black on their tops and the end of its tail was white. It was really cute.
He touched the small thing with his fingertips and lifted it so he could look from every side. Now he noticed the fox had three black whiskers on every cheek, but they were only painted there. Naruto lifted an eyebrow and stared at the thing. "Are you some stupid version of me?" he asked and shook his head moments later. Now he even talked with dead things. He sighed and wanted to twist the fox in his hand, but then he noticed it was somehow... sticky?
He put the figure down and looked at his hand before he licked his fingers. He wided his eyes and whispered, "Sweet? Is that sugar?" The blond graped the fox again and stared at it for a moment before he slowly licked over the back of its head. "It issugar! Wow!" he smiled and was up to ate the fox when he stopped. He looked into the slits which were its eyes and swallowed. The little thing was so... cute. "You are just too sweet to be eaten up, aren't you, little fox?" he asked the thing and sighed heavily. Well, after all, the sugar-fox looked so adorable with his chibi-face... With a small whimper he put the figure back on the desk and left his room. If he changed his mind later, he could still eat the fox anyway.
When Naruto opened his door music blowed in his face. It was too lowly for him to hear behind his door, but still loud enough to understand the lyrics. And once more the sweet scent flew into his nose. He closed his eyes and fallowed the trail and found his way down the corridor into the room where the smell was strongest.
"Good morning, baka." a voice said and the blonde's eyes flew open and narrowed seconds later.
"Fuck you as well, teme." he answered and crossed his arms over his chest. He found himself in the kitchen and figured out the music came from the living-room. The Uzumaki had been in there only once, but he knew where it was.
"Whatever. You want some breakfast? I would make some pancakes." Sasuke said and removed some metal gears from the table and laid them on the pot. The blond rose an eyebrow.
"Breakfast? What time is it?" he asked and the Uchiha looked down to his oven.
"Almost 8am." the raven answered and put some milk with eggs and flour into a bowl and mixed them.
"WHAT?! 8am?!!" Naruto screamed and let his mouth spread open. He had slept that much? When he got to bed the last day it was only afternoon!
"Do you prefer marmalade or chocolate? … Baka?" Sasuke called and looked over his shoulder, seeing an angry face. A small smile appeared over his lips.
"What do ya want, bastard?!" Naruto bellowed and a quiet giggle escaped the raven's throat. The fresh blood had a very pleasant effect on him, but he knew it was almost impossible to get blood from youngsters. He could call himself lucky if something about 20 got in his hands. And as fresh his last proper drink had been as fresh his current mood was. Sasuke hardly remembered the last time he had so much... fun.
"I asked if you prefer marmalade or chocolate on your pancakes." he repeated and put some of the dough into a hot pan. The blond huffed and walked towards the row of cupboards and stopped almost next to the vampire.
"I like both, but it depends on which marmalade you have. Were is the crockery?" he wanted to know and opened the fridge, finding a lot of bottles and some other stuff in there. On top were some glasses with colourful, thick-flowing substances.
The Uchiha turned the cake and explained, "Knife, fork and spoon are right in front of you in the drawer, plates in the last cupboard below and glasses in the one on the wall upper them."
The Uzumaki found all he needed easily, it seemed the raven kept his kitchen orderly.
"Do you need something, too?" he asked and Sasuke rose an eyebrow while he put the third pancake on a plate. "You heard, teme?" the blond wanted to know and knelt down to the plates.
"No, thanks. A small glass in enough." the Uchiha answered and turned the next cake. When did the human turn so kind? Maybe he was only so annoying when he didn't get what he wanted...
The raven put the plate on the table and brought some flowing chocolate and the marmalade as well. The blond sat down and rubbed his hands with a grin over his face. Sasuke smiled slightly and took a pack milk and a bottle tomato-juice before he joined the lad. "Eat as much as you want, please." the Uchiha said and filled, maybe, one nip of the red substance in his glass. Naruto put some of the cakes on his own plate and splashed a lot of chocolate over them while he looked at the raven. The tomato-bottle was right in front of his eyes and he lifted an eyebrow.
"Wait! Don't drink that!!" he yelled and the vampire who had already put the glass on his lips blinked confused.
"Why not? Don't tell you want some." Sasuke smirked and the Uzumaki shook his head.
"No-ho! I saw that disgusting stuff is already decayed for ages!!" Naruto answered and pointed at the use-by date. The Uchiha smirked even wider and provoked the youth more.
"Baka, you aren't very smart, are you?" he asked and – as he expected – the blond freaked out. But, he had to admin, he didn't think a piece of pancake with chocolate would fly into his face. Sasuke could have got out of the way... could.
"Eat this, you fucked up bastard! Suffocate on your super-old juice!" Naruto huffed and took another bite of his breakfast. The raven just wiped away the food from his cheek and put his elbow on the table so he could rest his head on his hand.
"Thanks, I'm not hungry. But don't tell me that you think this," he lifted his glass with the other hand, "is tomato-juice." He moved the glass so the substance swiped a bit. When the Uzumaki looked up for a moment and stared at him, obviously not knowing what the older meant, he sighed heavily. "Have you already forgot what I am?"
The blond wided his eyes and swallowed, "You mean, that..." He stared at the glass and yelled, "You're a sick pervert! Who the hell keeps blood in a bottle of tomato-juice?!"
The vampire just laid back and sighed, "Why not? Even if it's almost impossible, but if a human comes into my apartment and opens the fridge, he wouldn't take tomato-juice. But, in case he likes it, I use old bottles with surpassed use-by date so he surely wouldn't drink it at all."
Silence grew between them and the Uchiha took the small nip in one swallow, but just when the blood must have reached his stomach he jumped up and ran down the corridor. The blond took a deep breath and played with his pancakes, starring at them. He swallowed thinking of the raven. He surely was throwing up again and somehow he felt sorry for him.
Soon Sasuke came back and his face was neutral as always when he walked over and opened a drawer, taking a syringe from there. He sat down in his chair and filled it with blood before he put the needle, once more, on his pale arm. Hie eyes filled up with a strange, dark shine when he did that.
The Uzumaki looked back down on his plate and whispered, "What happened? And why?"
"Excuse me?" the raven said and looked up, his expression becoming a little bit more relaxed.
"The stuff with your stomach..." the blond repeated and looked up slightly, well knowing he had some kind of fault on the other's state.
The Uchiha took another shot while he explained, "The fresher blood is, the more it effects on vampires. I wasn't prepared and thirsty and when you cut in your flesh..." He made a break. "I lost completely control over myself." He took another shot. "I sucked a lot of your blood and worse, my saliva got directly into your bloodstream. You got a shock and collapsed when I stopped." Another one and he narrowed his eyes when he continued. "But I was still thirsty. I called help, but I knew I would have sucked you dry before they arrived. I drank the canned I was carrying with me, but it didn't help." He put the syring into his dirty glass when the bottle was empty. "For saving you and me, I drank the test tube of silver nitrate I was carrying with me. And it worked – you are still alive and I pay for that with injecting blood. And soon my inner wounds will be healed as well."
Naruto bit his lips and swallowed.
"... But why did you do that? Kakashi said it could have killed you." he muttered and looked directly into the deep red eyes. And he didn't miss the flash in those endless deeps, even if it disappeared in seconds.
"That is none of your business." the raven answered and stood up. He walked to the washbasin and put the dirty dishes into the dishwasher. "When you are finished, take your school-bag and come into the living-room." he added and left the kitchen. The blond rose an eyebrow following the older with his eyes. It seemed that he had hit a sensitive spot.
After half of an hour the Uzumaki came out of his room and headed the living-room where, well, Deidara was... 'relaxing'. Being honest he was snoring like a big oversize giant. He shook his head with a giggle and looked around for the raven. The living-room was almost as bright as his room, there were a big TV and a music-installation in there as well. Once more, big and small paintings were on the walls and the big windows let in a lot of light, only letting the drawings look even better. And when the artist himself jumped into his eyes, once more Naruto's heart left out a beat.
Sasuke was sitting in an armchair. He had lifted his legs on it as well and he was pressing a bloc on them while he was – obviously – drawing on it with a pencil. Like the last time the blond saw him, his eyes were serious and concentrated, his movings flowing and capturing. The Uzumaki could have watched him for hours, days without getting bored.
"I'm surprised." the dark-haired said after a while and laid his drawing-equipment on a small table before he stood up. The blond woke up and blushed slightly when he noticed he was starring at the vampire. "Could you stop blushing? Please?" the Uchiha sighed and Naruto blinked confused before he got mad.
"Could you stop blushing, peace." he repeated like he was the Uchiha himself. But the original seemed more pissed off by that act than amused.
"Shut up, moron." Sasuke said and sat down on a pillow which was laying on the ground. There were some more, all around a small table. He took out some books and when the youth joined him he smirked, "I didn't expect you would be so cooperative. I was already looking forward to grasp and drag you into the living-room."
Blue eyes narrowed and its owner hissed, "I keep my promises and deals, bastard. So shut the fuck up and let's end this quickly." The Uchiha smirked once more and opened one of his books.
"... Do you finally got this, helpless baka?" Sasuke asked, his nerves almost gone. They, or better only that blond idiot, was trying a mathematics task for over an hour now.
"Don't call me baka, teme! This is really difficult, believe it!" the Uzumaki roared and tried to solve the task once more. "If it would make sense I would understand it!" he said and the raven shook his head.
"It does make sense, but it's you who don't understand it. Looser." the Uchiha sighed and touched his forehead. They had done Japanese in no time, needed a little more for English, but math was just exhausting. In the morning they had done the subsidiary subjects like biology – very smart, as it seemed. Now it was getting late and since the human had done an all in all good job Sasuke thought it was enough. They would concentrate on math the next days. He stood up and stretched his arms, yawing slightly. He was feeling better and had a good sleep, he only needed a nap before school. Yeah, that would work.
"Baka, that is enough for today. I'll cook you supper and then you should get bed-ready." he said and went over to the kitchen. Sasori, who had looked after them in the afternoon, stood up as well and followed the raven. The blond let himself fall backwards and stretched his arms as well before he relaxed. He would never admit it, but he was thankful the bastard helped him learning. He missed really a lot of stuff and if he had to learn that all by himself he would have got problems.
Soon the delicious smell of fresh ramen flew into his nose and he jumped up, running to the kitchen. He licked over his lips when he saw the streaming bowl on the working-place. The Uchiha had already noticed him and explained, "You've worked a lot and since over half of the tasks were correct, you deserved a little reward." The blond jumped to his chair and grinned when the bowl was put in front of him.
"Yeah, this time I agree with you! Thanks!" he smiled and started eating his supper. Sasuke looked at him surprised before a weak smile got over his lips.
"Never mind. But you should go to bed soon. Tomorrow starts a new school-week."
