New Chappy my lovelies~!
Chapter 2: Six Feet Deep
"Good morning, Sasuke." Naruto chimed as he walked up to me. I once again glared.
"Vanish." I said and looked away. There I go again, damn it! Naruto didn't flinch this time, I wonder why...
"Not today." Naruto surprisingly said boldly.
"Why?"
"You have to say happy birthday to me." Naruto chimed. That's right, it is October 10th.
"No."
"Why?! You bastard." Yes I am.
"Formalities are for friends, not for you and I," I said flatly. Naruto puckered his lips in an adorable pout. I wonder how those lips would taste... Especially with a drop of blo-!
Shit.
Naruto stood there dumbfounded as I stood and ran.
I'm thinking about his blood.
Blood.
Just like 1910.
Why again? I can't do it to him. I can't!
"Smells good doesn't he?"
I froze. Another... Vampire?
I looked around and saw no one, I would find him easy if using my powers at day-time didn't out me at risk.
…
I ran into the bathroom and locked myself in a stall.
"Everything all right Uchiha?" Might Gai asked, the P.E. Teacher was too concerned for people.
"Fine." I said and opened my eyes, everything around me lost color and became transparent. Aura's stood in the place of people... Look for red, red is bad, red is vampire.
I found him.
He is a student named "Dosu", I recognized his scent, but I can't place it... Why?
He walks to my "light"; Naruto, who shines like the sun. So beautiful.
"Hey loser." I hear him say and shove Naruto.
!
I knew him from the voice, he was a child I killed in 1910. I remember him coming at me with an ax calling me a murderer. What I can't remember the place where I slaughtered those people... But it must have been close, or he's following me.
It had to be that, hence he was there, pestering me, pestering Naruto...
…
Naruto flinched away and ran... I'm gonna kill Dosu once and for all. I have to before he can cause trouble.
I calm myself and everything returns to normal. I stepped out and walked to Dosu. "Back off." I whispered and continued to leave the cafeteria. I headed to class to wait out the rest of my day... What was Dosu going to start?
…
The last -overly loud- bell rang and I left that place and began, distantly, following Naruto. Using a shadow tracker, otherwise an odd black spot that can either follow or attach to my target.
It followed Naruto into the more populated area of Konoha and through the heavy market where he was buying produce. Where was...
Dosu came from and alley way after Naruto began walking again and dragged him in. Naruto kicked a bit before disappearing in the shadows. I made my move and scaled the wall next to me. The rough brick made nice leverage for me to climb with.
I ran across and jumped off the ledge and to the building next to the alley. I looked over to see Dosu with a knife at Naruto's neck.
"Let me go!" Naruto growled.
"So, tell me. You like running around with such a lustrous smell? Your like a bitch in heat." He ran the knife down, "You like messing with a vampire?"
"V-v-vampire?" Naruto squeaked out.
I silently jumped down into the shadows and circled them a bit, I saw an opening and tackled Dosu. I used my foot to slightly push the shocked and frozen Naruto against the wall.
Dosu hissed and swiped at my face, I grabbed him by the throat and slammed his head down onto the pavement. A loud crack resonated around us. A crater was left in the place of his head and his skull broken. He grabbed me by my hair and threw my to the far wall. I landed against it and pushed off , attacking again. I dug my fingers into his eyes and pushed until they popped. He jumped away, screamed in pain, then tried to come back after me. I waited until he was at arms length before jabbing my hand through his chest and ripping his heart out.
It pulsed slowly, as all our hearts do. He dropped to the ground gasping for life, until he crystallized and shattered into black and red diamonds.
I devoured the slowly pulsing organ and walked out of the shadows and to Naruto. I covered my face with the hood of my jacket and grabbed his hand. I ran us out of the alley and onto the busy street where we still ran. His hand was so warm, so soft. If we weren't in the state we are then, I would have taken the time to caress every inch of him.
"Va-"
"Shhh." We slowed to a walk when we got to the residential area.
"But!"
"I know."
"S-Sasuke?"
I nodded.
"But, you hate me."
"No, I never said that."
"Then why?"
"I care."
Naruto nodded then froze. "You killed him, didn't you?"
I stopped, I knew the concealer got ruined thanks to Dosu. I turned to Naruto and took out my contacts.
He gasped, my mark was glowing and shifting and my eyes were red with thirst and thrill.
"Y-you're a va-vampire too?"
"Yes."
He stepped back and was ready to run, I grabbed his arm and pulled him to me.
"I won't hurt you, not ever, I swear to you."
"But, you are..."
"I know, I'm a monster and like many others, it wasn't by choice. I regret it now. But, listen to me, Naruto, I care about you." Naruto stood there, in my arms, trembling. I could feel his heart accelerating. "Will you let me walk you home?" I said softly in his ear.
He nodded and I let go of him, then walked beside him... "When were you turned?"
"1868."
He breathed in deep. "Do you drink human blood?"
"Yes, I have too."
He shuddered. " Coffin?"
"Bullshit, but they make a nice accessory in the house."
He laughed and turned to smile at me, "Were you trying on that one?"
"Not really, it's the truth. That's all I can speak."
"Huh?"
"My curse."
"Curse?" Naruto asked oddly.
"Every vampire has gifts and curses. My gift is taking powers and making them mine. My curse is eternal honesty."
"That's not that bad."
"I can't lie." I said dully.
"That's a good thing."
"Not when your life depends on you living a lie."
"Oh." Naruto said wide eyed.
…
We walked in silence to Naruto's door step. I'm glad I got him to calm some, I just wish I could figure a way to make him forget. "Good night, and I hope you will be better after tonight."
"Are there more?" He asked almost scared to be home. Why can't I steel him away?
"No one other than my brother and I," I said calmly, "I'll keep a look out for others who are unfamiliar and hostile."
"How many are there?"
"A few thousand."
"Your brother?"
"Refuses to drink on anything other than his lover."
"His lover?"
"Yes, Deidara is human for now."
"Human for now?" Naruto asked in that odd tone again.
" Itachi is scared of turning him."
"Wait, him?"
"Yes."
Naruto shifted, "So your brother is gay?"
"Yes"... What is he getting at?
"Are you?" Naruto shifted to the other side, blushing, and looking up at me... Fuck.
"I-uh..." I stuttered... I never stutter, but this was so weird. "Um..." I looked away. "Yeah."
Naruto giggled and opened his door. "Are you able to come in uninvited?"
I disappeared from his sight and appeared in his house, behind him. I leaned down to his ear and whispered. "Yes, I can."
Naruto jumped... If he was a vampire, he would have probably been on the moon... "Holy shit~! Man, don't do that. I thought I was going to die." He said and turned to face me. He blushed when he bumped up against me.
I stepped back and let him enter.
"Iruka-"
"Doesn't get home until 8, I know."
"Do you stalk me?" He asked, once again, in that odd tone.
"I only slightly did the first day I met you."
"Creep." He said deadpanned.
My eye twitched slightly, "Thanks~" I said sarcastically.
"Well~." He smiled.
"I must be going."
"What?"
"I should go," I said quickly. His scent was circling in my head, and I was getting hungry.
"Why?"
"I'm thirsty."
"Oh."
I ran passed him and vanished out the door. It was getting to be too much, too soon.
…
"Are you alright?"
"Not really, Itachi." I said as my brother ran beside me.
"You look distressed." He said kindly, I could see from how mellow his eyes were, he just fed from Deidara.
"I'm confused." I said and stopped, he would smell Naruto on me now. Along with Dosu.
"You didn't did you?"
"No, I killed a vampire trying to harm a human."
"Since when have you cared for humans so much?"
I never told him of Naruto, and I might as well. "A human boy holds my fancy."
"Oh!" Itachi said surprised, "My my, my brother loves a human boy?"
"Yes, he is the other-"
"Wonderful scent."
"Yes." I said looking down.
My brother grabbed my chin and kissed me on the lips. This was how we shared power. I would kill, and he would kiss me to share the abilities of the vampire heart I ate.
"Directing sound waves through his pores?"
"Yes."
"How interesting." Itachi said and looked to me, "So, about 'Naruto'?"
He can also read my most recent thoughts that way. "I want him."
"To eat or love?"
"That I am confused about."
"You don't know if you can love him and not end up eating him, and you don't know if you can eat him because you believe you love him?" Itachi can be so annoying.
"Yeah." I looked to my feet again. Like I said, Itachi can be really annoying.
"You need to decide for yourself on what you are going to do. I can't advise you on this. It has to be your own choice." And sometimes, Itachi is just the perfect brother.
"Thanks." I said, we made it home to the Victorian house Sasori had found us a few hundred years ago.
"Sasu-chan!" Deidara said and ran up to hug me.
"Hello, meat-sack." I said and pried him off me.
"Listen here, Uchiha-brat, hm." He said and jutted his finger at me. "You listen to mommy-dear."
"You are too young to be my mother." I said lamely.
"Any ways, Deidara, Hidan is Sasuke's mommy-dear." Itachi smiled. "By the way, he is coming here within the week."
"Super~" I said dully remembering the man who turned me. It may be nice to see him though.
"Sasuke, Itachi left you your dinner in the basement, be sure to clean up well."
"Rats?"
"Nope, a woman."
"Oh," I groaned out, men and children are more tasty considering they don't have all those hormones.
"Enjoy~" Deidara sang out and hugged onto my brother with a smile. Dear god, they are going to do IT again.
I rolled my eyes and walked down to the basement where a woman from the news sat. She was a murderer. Even killed her own kids. Lovely Itachi.
"Please, let me go."
I looked dully at her as a mist surrounded her, her breathing calmed and her eyes closed. I walked over and held her head in my hands, then bit hard. The blood was warm, tasteless, and polluted with drugs. Though the toxins would burn to nothing in my gut, it was still annoying to have the heavy head and blurry vision, even if it was temporal.
I laid her down, her body drained and limp. Her brown hair sprawled on the floor like a dark web. Hidan would be coming soon, I hope he doesn't decide to pay homage to Jashim here.
I hope you loved this chapter, I worked very hard on this. Chapter 3 is coming soon, thinking of a title too.
Sasuke: "You better work harder, people like long stories."
Me: "Fool!"
Itachi: "Not everyone foolish little brother."
Sasuke: "Fuck you guys." Sits in emo corner. "Then they are lame."
Me: "Only to you, deary~!"
Sasuke: O.o "Hell no"
Itachi: "Oh Hell yes."
Sasuke: Shakes head, "You all have problems."
Me: "MONSTER!"
Sasuke: "I know you like them."
Itachi: "I think she wants another."
Sasuke: "No, she already had two."
Me: :( "But I loves them."
Sasuke: "Too bad."
Deidara: "Here you are sweety, hm." Gives me a Monster.
Me: "YAY!
Deidara: "Will you work harder, hm?"
Me: "Yes Mommy."
Deidara: "Aren't you cute, hm~! And so artistic!"
Me: "Mommy~!"=)
Deidara: "Later~!" Pulls me under his arm.
Me: "Hm?"
Itachi: " Where are you going?"
Deidara: "Away with my girly, hm"
Me: "Bye-bi~!"
