A/N: Hello readers! BEWARE for a huge turn ;D

Sasuke sighed and said, "I'll go. Keep enjoying your snack." With that he went into the living-room and took the phone. Suddenly the door bell rang as well, so the blond jumped up and ran to it. He looked through the spyhole and blinked confused. Naruto could see Itachi and Kakashi, but there was a woman with them as well.

The Uzumaki opened the door with a hude grin and greeted, "Merry X-Mas! Nice to see ya!"

"Merry Christmas, Naruto-kun. Is Sasuke not in?" the raven asked, peeping inside the apartment.

"He's on the phone. Come, come! He made some cookies.!" the blond smiled, stepping to the side so the three could enter easily. Once more he looked at the foreign woman. She was similar Sasuke and pretty young. Maybe his sister?

Thinking of it... … The Uchiha was a good cook, he draw, he looked feminine... Thehe! Sasuke is really gay!!, the youth laughed in his mind. The gay bastard...

But the human had to face the truth only moments later. The vampire was standing in the door to the living-room in front of the three guests. Naruto swallowed heavily, breathing hard. He had never seen such a hateful, angry and hurt shine in the red eyes. Sasuke was more scary than anytime before.

"What are youdoing here?!" he hissed, showing his teeth. Itachi stood between the woman and his brother, ready to stop the younger Uchiha if he got out of control.

"I wanted to see you. And I hoped we could talk." the female said with a calm, warm voice.

"Not interested. Get out. Now." the raven answered, narrowing his eyes.

"Sasuke! Watch your tongue!" the older Uchiha growled, stepping closer to the other. He bowed his head to the other's ear and obviously whispered something, because the vampire giggled, painfully.

"May I offer you something? Since you came all the way here." Sasuke asked, a smirk in his face. But that one was new, not the usually bastard one.

It... hurt.

Soon the five were sitting in the living-room, but the owner of the apartment preferred standing on a wall.

"So, what do you want?" he asked the woman, starring at her with a dead-glare.

"Sasuke, be more polite." Itachi answered, taking a nip of his cup with closed eyes.

"Fuck you, Aniki." the younger said without breaking the eye-contact to the female.

"Excuse me?!" the older hissed, eyes narrowed.

"I'm as polite as I need in my opinion." he added and the other vampire was almost freaking out, but then the woman stopped him.

"Itachi, it's fine." she said, voice lowly. She finally lifted her head, looking at the raven on the wall. "I don't deserve respect from you at all." She tried to smile and then Naruto got a sight at the long, sharp teeth in her mouth. "Sasuke, I'm sorry. For everything."

"'I'm sorry'?!" the Uchiha repeated furious. He was trembling and yelled, "After almost 200 fucking years, through everything what happened all you have to say is a pathetic, fucking fake 'I'M SORRY'?!!"

The female sighed slightly and added, "I wish things went different... I would like to help you. Maybe-"

"HELP ME?!?" Sasuke screamed and growled through his teeth. He had real problems holding back and ripped off his collar, turning his head and showing the three drops on the place between neck and shoulder. "You were there! Watching! You fucking watched while they did this to me!!!" His eyes got a murdering, mad shine. "How dare you taking those words in your mouth..." He stared, waiting, hoping for an answer. But she did just the same as always, broke the eye-contact and faced the ground. "I'm sick of this fucking shit... I'm out of here." He stamped at the door, but his brother jumped up, following him.

"Sasuke, calm down and-" he tried to say, but he was interrupted.

"Let go. Now." the younger growled and kept walking. Itachi grabbed his arm and tried to hold back, but the raven slapped away the pale hand and hissed, "I said I'm out. And when I come back, you should better be gone..." He turned away, walked to the main-door and slammed it shut. The wood creaked a bit, but fortunately the doorway was still intact.

The Uzumaki blinked confused because of that behaviour. He was used to the sometimes bastard-like impoliteness but what just happened was bejoin that. What the hell was between Sasuke and the strange woman?

"Such a brat..." the remained raven sighed and sat down on the floor in front of the small table.

Thinking of it, the Uchiha didn't sit too near to the female as well. Who was she? "I apologize for him. He's usually calmer and more gentle." the vampire breathed, starring at the table.

"I already told you that it's fine." the woman smiled, "It's only naturally for him to react like he does. After all, I'm really a bad mother..."

The blond gasped for air, eyes wided. The female vampire heard him of course and asked, "Is something wrong, young man?"

The human pressed his lips together and replied, "I'm just confused. Are you saying, you're Sasuke's mother?"

"Yes, I am. But I think I'm not a good mother at all." she answered, adding, "A, excuse me. I forgot to introduce myself to you: I'm Mikoto Uchiha." She rose an eyebrow watching the human, who was trembling and growling lowly. After a few moments the blond jumped up and headed the door, his face as black as thunder.

Itachi got up in alert and stood within one blink next to the youth, whispering, "Where are you going? Sasuke is furious and you wouldn't find him so easily." He eyed the younger, catching every single expression. It looked like he managed to threw together two pretty easy-boiling guys. If the Uzumaki was always like Sasuke had just been he could understand why his Otouto was so exhausted lately.

"I'll kick that bastard's ass as hard as I can! Believe it!!!" the bright-haired hissed and slammed the door shut, but far weaker than the vampire did. The raven took a deep, stressed breath and massaged his temples. Suddenly he felt a warm hand on his shoulder and the vampire turned his head, looking at Kakashi's smiling face.

"Leave them alone. You sometimes needed a human to bring you back down on earth as well." the adult said, starring at the door.

Naruto stopped on a bridge, panting. He had run through half of the city, but he found any trace of the raven. Where was he? It was afternoon and there weren't many places for a vampire to hide.

He rested on the rim and thought, starring at the river below, Why the hell did you lie? Why did you say that, bastard?

"Yoh! Naruto!" suddenly someone said and the Uzumaki looked up, facing Kiba.

"Yoh dog-face..." he whispered, starring back on the stream. The brunette rose an eyebrow and his little white dog barked in agreement.

The lad wrapped his arm around the blond's shoulder and pulled closer, asking, "What's wrong, babe? Missed me that much?"

"Shut up. I'm not in the mood for that." Naruto replied, sighing.

"Whooho... You're becoming a copy of the stuck-up president. He's pissed, you're pissed, well, then I get pissed, too. See ya-" the student growled and turned away, ready to go but the other grabbed his arm.

"Wait a sec! Have you seen Sas'ke?!" the Uzumaki wanted to know, excited. He stared at the brown-haired, only a few inches away from him.

"W-well, y-yeah-" he stemmed and Akamaru started growling, ready to defend his owner.

"Where?!" Naruto yelled, pushing the slightly bigger man backwards.

"Yoh yoh yoh! Chill out, man! What's your problem?!" Kiba said, getting free from the grap.

"I have a bone to pick with the teme. A big one." he hissed, clenching his fists, "Where have you seen him?"

The brunette pointed in one direction and explained, "Down the river, almost at the forest-" The blond already run down the street and the other yelled, "He-hey wait! Dude!!!" But the lad was already gone. Kiba sighed and knelt down, stroking his little dog. "Looks like babe has problems with his lover, hm, Akamaru?" he grinned and the dog barked as well.

Soon Naruto found the raven, just where Kiba had said – at the edge of the river some meters away from the forest. He was far away from the road but the Uzumaki saw him immediatly and walked towards him.

"Go away, moron. I'm not interested in you." Sasuke said, neutral, while he took some little stones and chucked them over the surface. But the human kept walking and when he was only a few steps away from him and started yelling.

"Why did you lie to me?! You have a mother!"

"I've never lied." the Uchiha replied and threw another stone before ending. "I said that I have no family, not that I don't have parents." Of course he knew what the human meant by lying. With that little brain of his he managed to remember only the latest things and he was sure Itachi or Mikoto would have told him the truth anyway. The Uzumaki spend most of his life screaming and yelling and right behind that he kept asking a thousand things a day.

In one word – troublesome.

"Yes you did, bastard! You can't say that you don't have a family while you have a mother! You have a family!!!" the blond growled, stamping with his feat.

"Family..." Sasuke giggled, somehow dangerously. He finally turned his face to the youth, smirking at him. The same painful smirk as earlier. He tucked another stone and asked, "Do you even know what 'family' means? When I hear that word," he threw another one, "I think about coherence," another one, "security," one more, "encouragement," he threw the last stone hard into the water, it caused a big splash, "love. That's what I think when I hear 'family'. And I felt none of these feelings for my family..." He sat down on the wet ground, starring at the surface. The blond swallowed, calming down slightly.

"But she has born you. Don't you think she loves you because of that?" he asked, sitting down next to the dark-haired. Somehow he felt a deep, dark sadness around the vampire.... and heavy loneliness.

Once more the other giggled, crushing a stone with his hand. "I've never ment to be alive. Just the fact that I was born broke one of our rules." the Uchiha explained, narrowing his eyes.

"What do you mean? Which rule?" the lad asked, looking at the other. Everything was so complicated...

"I'm the forbidden second child. Every brace is allowed to have a single child because of the over-population. I don't know why, but my mother borne me anyway... forcing me into the edge of society." Sasuke told, digging his fingers into the snow. "And at my very darkest hour the only one who was on my side was Itachi." he hissed, glancing the flowing stream. "My clan, my family never wanted me... and when they got the chance they pushed me out, sending me into exile."

"Th-that's..." That changed everything. Naruto never expected a story like that behind the rude behaviour. He knew a family didn't mean just happiness and joy, but he had never expected such dark sides behind that word at all. He never expected the bastard's past to be so... horrific.

"But you know baka, that wasn't even the worst." the Uchiha interrupted his thoughts. A sad, sarcastic smile was over his lips when he whispered, "There is a vote for everyone who's ment to be banned. Some kind of commission decides if a vampire gets banned or not. My father is one of them... and he voted for my banning." The Uzumaki widened his eyes, gasping for air. "They watched when I got the mark. I'll never forget the expression in their faces," he lifted one hand and laid it over the three drops, his tattoo, "my mother looked at me unbelievable neutral and my father had that fucking, pleased smirk over his lips... They enjoyed the show of my journey to hell."

Naruto sat there, trying to understand what he had just heard. The Uchiha gave him a look into himself, how hard his life had been, what horrible things happened to him. The blond had his theories but he never expected such a mess behind the ice-cold eyes. He thought parents who had children at least liked them, their own flesh and blood. He had never known his own parents at all, but Naruto was sure they loved him, even if they died soon after his birth. And just now the man who was always cool, controlled, polite, popular and beloved from lots of girls showed the lad how much a person was able to act in order to hide their true self. After all, the strong vampire was a lonely, hurt man who went through horrible things.

"I'm sorry... I shouldn't have asked you... and offended you... I..." the human whispered, completely unsure what to do, what to say.

"Naruto, just be quiet. I hate pity, especially from humans." the raven answered, voice neutral. He closed his eyes and laid down, his back in the snow and face towards the cloudy sky. He grimaced slightly, bracing his face-muscles. His skin turned slightly red and the Uzumaki jumped up suddenly, topping him. "What the hell?!" the dark-haired yelled, snapping up his eyelids. The blond grabbed his collar and stared at him, his face desperate. The Uchiha widened his eyes, overtaxed with the situation. What was happening?!

"Teme, suicide is not a way out! Believe it!!!" the human screamed into his face, scared.

"What?" the vampire replied, blinking confused.

"I'll not let you kill yourself while I'm around! No single sunray will reach you anymore!!!" the lad yelled, pressing his whole body on the cold one under him, screening the pale skin perfectly.

Seconds passed by in completely silence. But suddenly the dark-haired started laughing loudly, his chest moving so much the torso of the blond started shaking. The human was lifted and put back on the ground while Sasuke sat up, still laughing.

"Y-you're really the hugest baka I know!" he giggled, causing the other to narrow his eyes.

"You wanted to kill yourself, bastard! That's not funny!!!" he bellowed but the older kept laughing.

"Because of the sun? Oh my-" He interrupted himself giggling and took some time to calm down. "Sun is bad, but it takes a long time for killing me like that, moron. Especially in winter." the raven explained, watching the youth.

"... … Really?" the blond asked, looking back. After a nod from the other he added, "I thought that vampires would burn down at once with sunrays!"

Sasuke rose an eyebrow and said, "No. It takes pretty long. What did you expect? To hear a 'puff'-noise and see a hive of ash where I stood?"

"Well, yeah?" Naruto answered honestly.

Suddenly the vampire broke out into another loud laugh and soon the human joined him. Two students sitting on the river laughing like idiots on Christmas.

Interesting picture.
