My Life, Miserable

Chapter Seven

He woke up this morning feeling very blissful, and rejuvenated. Exactly like how he felt when he found his scars were gone a few months ago. Naruto looked around the house, looking for Sasuke to show up or Itachi.

Right on cue, Itachi came in looking a little famished, and sunken. His back was arched, and his long sleek hair wrapped around his shoulders, and along the curves of his face. He didn't have a shirt on, but had his silky red pajamas, and weasel slippers on.

"I'll never get used to waking up in the morning. We're not even supposed to be waking up in the morning." Itachi said walking into the kitchen.

"Would you stop complaining… It's giving me a headache." Sasuke said walking out of the hallway shortly after Itachi.

Naruto saw that Itachi muttered something under his breath. Sasuke noticed it, but because he was still foggy from holding Naruto down all night, he barely got any sleep until five o'clock and right now it's seven, so he didn't make up a witty retort.

"Welcome up." Sasuke said coming towards him with two cups. One of them had chibi black bats, and the other cup had a little Halloween theme to it. Black and orange strips rounding the cup, with little candy corn dancing.

Naruto took the cup and noticed it was warm and smelled decent, well more than decent. Delectable.

Before Naruto knew it he had the cup over his head, and gulping the drink in a harsh manner. When he was done, his taste buds pleaded for more of the spicey drink.

"So you're HIV… That's a new one." Sasuke said taking the cup away.

"What is that supposed to mean?" Naruto asked.

"You like blood that has HIV in it. I wouldn't say that's bad. You can think of it in a good way, if you can figure out how you will be helping out the world."

"THE FUCK! ARE YOU'RE TELLING ME I DRANK BLOOD! BLOOD WITH HIV IN IT!"

"Bingo." Sasuke said coming back with the refill.

"You proberly shouldn't have told him that little Sasuke. Maybe you should explained what happened last night." Itachi told him.

In the background, Naruto was cussing out Sasuke in so many way's you would have never thought a mere human would have known it existed.

Sasuke and Itachi had their own conversation while waiting in the kitchen waiting for Naruto to cool down so they could relax in their living room. It wasn't until Naruto's voice finally gave out that they decided to come sit in the living room with him.

"Your creation has a potty mouth." Itachi said sitting in a black leather recliner on the left side of Naruto's bed/couch.

"Do not!" Naruto whispered in his defense. He would of yelled it at Itachi but he voice was so used out it could only managed whispering it.

"I guess we'll use this opportunity to explain." Sasuke replied, sitting on the couch along side Naruto. He sat on the far end of couch. He didn't want to sit hand's length the Naruto, because of the angry aurora Naruto was sending out.

Naruto looked at them with an, You guess? You better tell me now., expression.

"Where do we start?" Itachi said.

"Let's start with why…" It hurt Naruto's to say the rest so Sasuke continued it. "you're drinking blood? And why'd you like it so much?" Naruto nodded his head roughly. "Let's see. I turned you into hybrid, meaning a half vampire, half human."

"No way." Naruto croaked. "No such thing."

"Remember what I told you at school? About the killings?" Sasuke replied before taking a sip of his steaming hot Negative 0 blood, with a dash of spiced rum, for more taste.

"That's you do all that killing!!" Naruto barely shouted. It's was good for Naruto to know his voice was slowly coming back.

"Drink more of the blood. It'll help your voice." Itachi pushed the chibi vampire cup towards Naruto.

"No, I dont want to drink blood. Tell me did you kill those people?" Naruto demanded again.

"No, that is not our doings. It's properly a skilled blood surgeon doing the killings and making it seem like vampires are doing it." Sasuke replied, looking Naruto dead in his eyes.

"How can I believe you?" Naruto said.

"We give you our word. A vampire's word is always true and kept or shall we be staked in the sun, left to die." Itachi sat down his cup and made a cross out of his fingers and placed it over his heart. Sasuke was also doing it.

After that it was quiet. Sasuke and Itachi slowly sipped on their mug-o-blood, and it looked like they very much enjoyed and savored the taste of it. Naruto just stared at his mug. The smell of the hot blood was very tempting. His hand would always etch their way to it, but Naruto would stop them. It defiantly did taste good when the blood, slithered down his throat. It help relaxed him. After what happened last night, it was high-time he got some R&R.

"Naruto, why did your father try to kill you last night?" Sasuke sat down his mug on coffee table and turned his bodys towards Naruto.

"So straight forward." Itachi said. "I was tryna to find a better way to ask him, but that way will do." Itachi gulped down the rest of his blood, then got out of his seat. He started to walk towards the kitchen, but in a flash he was at the refrigerator, taking out from what it look like a gallon of milk except the milk was replaced by blood. In another flash he was back in his seat.

Naruto's mouthed dropped to the floor. He stared at Itachi as he placed the cup on the auburn wood coffe table, crossed his legs and sat his hands on his knees. Itachi leaned forward as if Naruto was telling the story now.

Naruto sat there, wondering if he can actually tell them. Their strangers, but it feels as though he can trust them. "The abuse started when I was five. That was when Mom…, I mean Kushina left home. She found out that Dad cheated on her with another woman, and I wasn't her child. Since then the beatings slowly came along. At first he all he did was occasionally slap me, then the beatings became worse, when Dad looked into the morning newspaper. I remember that day like it was yesterday.

Naruto was sitting in the living room on the floor with Kyuubi watching Power Ranger's Ninja Force, when Dad yelled out, "No!"

They could hear plates hitting the floor and breaking.

Kyuubi and Naruto ran into the kitchen and saw Dad crying. He still sat at the table, his face crushed into his hands. His breakfast was spilt all over the floor. Kyuubi offered to get the mop and ran to go get it. Naruto slowly walked up to him and asked what was wrong with him.

"Kushina, why?" He croaked. "Why!"

"Dad, what's wrong?" Naruto asked again.

Minato threw the newspaper off the table, and let it fall slowly to the ground. Naruto went to go get it, and saw it was on the Marriage's page. It had pictures of six people. One of them was a beautiful woman, being hugged by a man. Under it said:

Kushina & Orochimaru

At the Hilton Hotel's lake, at 1pm in Las Vegas. Orochimaru and Kushina both sworn their love for each other before God.

Kushina worked at the Hilton Hotel as a desk clerk. It was there when Orochimaru and Kushina met as Orochimaru checked into his hotel room. They now reside in Las Vegas.

He stared at Kushina. Naruto thought for sure that he has seen this woman before. Like he knew her very well. It was then when it hit him. That's Mom. His mom got married again, and got married to a snake man.

Because of the grayscale the picture made it look like the man was very pale for he was almost white in the picture. His had dark lines, that looked like make-up go around his eyes, and his eyes looked like they were watching you through the picture and he would strike you any minute you let your guard down.

Naruto wished he could see how this married was going to turn out.

"Naruto." It was Minato.

Before Naruto knew it he was on the floor holding his cheek, and crying. Minato had just slapped him, but it was harder and different than all the other slaps.

"So is that the worst of it? Is that when Minato starts cutting you, and burning you?" Sasuke asked, already having a second fill of blood.

Naruto didn't know he had tears streaming down his cheeks. He wiped them away with the tissue's Itachi brought him.

"No." Naruto croaked. "It…it got worse when Kushina…when Kushina died. They found her dead in the attic. Orochimaru was doing experiments-."

"You don't have to tell us anymore. We can see it hurts to tell us this." Sasuke interrupted him.

Itachi noticed that Naruto's mug of blood was empty and went to get him a refill. Naruto didn't even know he drunk the blood, but he did feel the taste of the spiced blood on his tongue.

I wonder how much blood they have in the refrigerator and if they even have any human food?

"Can I get something else other than blood?" Naruto asked.

Itachi stopped at the fridge and looked at Naruto. He cocked his head over and smiled.

"Sure. We don't always drink blood all the time." Itachi replied. "We have coke, sprite, or plain old water."

"Coke please."

"Want some chips and a sandwich along with it?"

"Yes, please."

Naruto relaxed into the couch a little more, while Sasuke turned on the TV and started to flick through channels. They had a 47' flat screen TV mounted on their white painted wall. In the corners of the room, they had surround systems. It seemed like whatever channel they flipped to, they were in the same room with them. Sasuke stopped at a movie, that was playing on SyFy.

Later Itachi came back into the the room with a couple of ham sandwiches, a coke, two cups of spiced rum-blood, and a fizzling coke.

"Thanks." Naruto said grabbing his coke, and his sandwich.

They was half-way into the movie when someone plopped down on the couch beside Naruto. From the corner of his eyes he could of sworn he saw red hair.
