Chapter 3:

The First encounter

Naruto listens to any sounds through the door that might imply that Sasuke is behind the door. However, he only hears some woman telling something that happened in the central of the city. Apparently someone was mugged. So he's watching the news. That's a relieve.

Naruto sighs and walks further to bathroom. He passes the mirror and stops before it, turning around to inspect himself from it. The first thing he registers are the sky blue eyes with dark bags under them. Then he only sees red. He is covered in blood - darker toned blood and brighter toned blood - from his bright blonde head to his shoe covered toes. The blood has stained his white shirt and his blue jeans - also covering a part of his hair. The blood from his neck is also spattered to the blonde's whisker cheek. Normally tanned skin looks a bit paler, Naruto guesses it's from the slight blood-loss he is experiencing now. Naruto takes his shirt off which is surprisingly more harder than it looks since the darker blood made his shirt stick to his body.

Vampires are considered dead since they do not have an active heartbeat. Hence, the blood doesn't run in their veins, making it darker, thicker and stickier. Naruto takes a wild guess that the darker blood came from the mad vampire that he killed last night. Was it last night? It feels like a eternity ago.

"I look like shit."

Naruto takes a closer look of his neck but he can't see the puncture wounds because of the thick layer of dried blood. He pokes the skin a bit, hissing when he hits small lumps in his skin. Sighing and taking his eyes off the mirror, he strips himself off the rest of his clothes and steps into the shower. The warm water comes in a gentle spray, relaxing the hunter's aching body and cleaning the blood from his skin. Naruto watches the dark red water disappearing to the drain slowly. His neck stings a bit but the feeling is bearable, not too overwhelming. More like a dull ache. He grabs the vanilla smelling shampoo and rubs it into his hair.

Naruto hears a small snort coming from the other room, reminding him of the presence of the dark haired vampire. Before Naruto can stop himself, the images of the dark, soft hair and even darker and deeper eyes resurface from the back of his mind. The images take the blonde hunter back in time - to the time where he first met Uchiha Sasuke.

Flashback:

Naruto graduated as the top of his class. It was good day - not a great day but good. His family, the Uzumakis, are known to be one of the best Vampire Hunters' bloodline in the World. Some people think Uzumakis are the truly Gifted. They are delusional, Naruto always thinks. Because if they were The Gifted, surely they would still be alive. Naruto's parents died, murdered by a vampire. No one knows what vampire though because no simple mad vampire would have been able to even touch them with a long stick before getting beheaded. It is not a surprise that Vampire Hunters were found dead, quite the opposite, it is fairly common to find them dead. But it was a surprise and a shock to find Uzumakis dead - with no evidence whatsoever to who killed them.

After their sudden death, Naruto sought only for revenge for a while until he got his bearings together again. The thing about the Vampire Hunters' society is extremely complicated and delicate. The head - and current owner - of the Vampire Hunters' society is actually a vampire. Rumor says that he is ancient, one of the oldest vampires to live today. Thy name's Uchiha Itachi. But everyone calls him the Big Boss, apparently because he himself wants to. Naruto's boss is named Hatake Kakashi - or the pervert as Naruto kindly reminds him. Naruto is a little salty because Kakashi has a little thingy with his guardian Umino Iruka.

Let's just say, Naruto has seen things he does not want to see.

Naruto's first mission came soon after his graduation. Because he is a Uzumaki and the top of his class, people in the society wanted to see the young protegee in action. His mission was to locate and dispose of a young female vampire. Her human age was only 19 and her presumed vampire age was to supposedly be 20 years. However, Naruto did not know then that the people in the information department fucked up good.

Naruto managed to locate the young vampire right outside of the city with only woods around the road. It appears that the vampire with short shockingly blue hair had managed to find herself a meal. A guy with unknown age. Yet, still too young to die.

Naruto watched the vampire silently with his sky blue eyes, waiting for a chance to attack her. She was busy with the now dead corpse and so, Naruto soundlessly sneaked behind her. Then Naruto swung out with his machete knife, aiming for her heart. However, she heard the shift in the air, turning around and dodging the knife. The hunter still managed to scratch her shoulder, staining her already blood stained shirt further. She hissed, shoving her fangs to the young hunter. Naruto and the vampire walked slowly in a circle, seeing each other's movements, trying to find an opening for a strike. Then she smiled a sweet - yet a cruel - smile with her blood stained lips and vanished right before Naruto's blue eyes.

Naruto darted his eyes to every direction but he did not see the vampire.

Then the next thing he knew, he was being pushed to the ground. His machete flew somewhere from the impact. The much stronger vampire twisted his arm behind his back, pushing it roughly against the small of his back. Naruto hissed, tried to shake her off his back, with no luck. The vampire hissed back, grabbing Naruto's blonde locks and pushing his face to the asphalt. Then he heard her sniffing the air around Naruto, making him uncomfortable and a little bit scared.

I can't move, fuck.

"Oh, my God! You smell so good!" She purred in Naruto's ear, making him flinch. What a slut.

"Y-You used teleportation. How? You are too young to be able to use that"

"You poor baby, I am a 200 years old vampire. Of course I have the ability to use teleportation. I am a bit worried though that the society sent a baby after me, thought that they would take care of their hunters a bit more." Naruto could detect a grin in her voice which did not suit the tone of her voice, soft and full of pity for the blonde. The society knew she was older? Or was it a mistake, what is she on about?

"Listen psycho, could you be a dear and get off me?" Naruto struggled again, making her grip on him tighter.

"You smell way too good to let this opportunity to pass me by, I wonder how good you will taste baby" After that she pulled Naruto's head up by her grip on his hair, making his neck arch. This only made Naruto struggle more against her grip.

Naruto's heartbeat quickens. He felt the hot breath against the skin of his sensitive neck. He felt lips against his quick pulse. The lips opened. Naruto feels the fangs gracing against his skin. He shut his eyes, waiting for the pain to come. However, the pain never came.

The next thing he knew, the weight came off his back, freeing his arm and head. Naruto glances behind himself, seeing nothing. He turns his head back to front - there was nothing also. He got up from the ground and looked around himself, yet he still saw nothing. Just an empty road.

Naruto closed his eyes, focusing on his hearing ability. He didn't even hear anything. What just happened? This is so confusing.

Then he heard the breath at the same time he felt it on the skin of his neck.

"Needed a hand, princess?"

Naruto's eyes snapped open at the low voice that did not belong to the female vampire but for a male. The hunter turned around only to be knocked to the ground - again - on his back with a heavy weight holding him down, surprisingly gently. Naruto groaned from the impact and opened his eyes to reveal a pair of black eyes - with some red in the center. Those were the most breathtaking eyes Naruto has seen in his entire life. He felt trapped in the vampire's eyes.

"Princess, you are drooling." The smirk that came to the vampire's pale lips promised pure pleasure. Wait, what did he call me?

"I wasn't drooling, you asshole. And I am not a princess." The vampire's smirk only grew, along with it his dark eyebrow. He really seemed to look right into Naruto's soul with those eyes.

"Hn, how about babydoll?" What is wrong with this asshole? Is he flirting or annoying me?

"Asshole, I have a proper name."

"Then, you're Uzumaki Naruto, I presume?" The raven haired vampire asked with a raised eyebrow.

"How do you know my name?" Naruto tried to push the vampire off of him but the raven only grabbed his wrists, pinning them firmly - but still gently - to the ground.

"Hn. The information department made a huge mistake concerning about the information of your mission, am I correct? Your mission was supposed to be to someone of a higher rank. Anyways, they sent me to dispose of the vampire and make sure you are okay."

The raven vampire spoke slowly with soothingly low voice. Naruto found out that he rather liked the way the raven spoke.

"Yeah, those fuckers fucked really bad! I have a fucking bone to pick with them." There are events in which Naruto has had difficulties to control the volume of his voice. This was apparently one of them if the flinch that the raven vampire made was anything to go by. He frowned.

"Please be quiet babydoll, you don't have to pick a bone with any of them. I am pretty sure they will hear it from Sannin."

"Not a babydoll, asshole." The blonde still pinned under the vampire muttered with a small pout. Naruto later on declines all of the accusations that Sasuke made about his "cute little pout". According to the blonde, it never happened.

"Hn." Oh, this asshole is starting to piss me off. Who even is this asshole?

"Should I just call you an asshole or do you have a proper name?" Naruto teased with a little grin. If this asshole gets under my skin, I might as well get under his.

"I do have a proper name, yes, but where is the fun if I just give it to you on a silver platter. Try to have a guess, babydoll." Naruto ignores the infuriating nickname.

"Fine. You are obviously a vampire, and you were sent to help me dispose of the mad vampire. Basically that means you're either a contact of the Vampire Hunters' society or that you work there. If it's the second case, that means you are of a higher rank, meaning you are directly involved with the head, am I correct?" Naruto's blonde eyebrow rose with a knowing smirk at the end of the sentence. The raven's eyebrow was twitching and it was hilarious to Naruto.

"I suppose you might be correct. You are actually smarter than you look." Then the teasing smirk came back on, making Naruto's disappear. This asshole.

"Shut up and answer the question, you ass."

"Hn, fine. You are correct. I will give you a little hint; I am known to be "the-big-boss'-foolish-little-brother" as some people say. Ringing any bells, babydoll?" Naruto once again kindly ignored the nickname.

Naruto thought about it. Since Uchiha Itachi is the so-called "big boss" - his own words, kind of disgusting if you ask Naruto -, then this guy could be his little brother? Naruto takes a closer look of his face. He could definitely see the resemblance in there; the black hair, the fair skin, same bone structure, same nose. Okay, so definitely brothers, but who is this one? I think, I have heard of an underground business department. I think the manager is called Uchiha Sasuke. Is this the guy?

"You're Uchiha Sasuke, then?"

"Bingo, you sure took your time babydoll but I suppose you win this game."

"Shut up asshole. Now that we both have became acquaintances, can we please get going. I have been pinned to the ground by two annoying vampires today so I wanna go home." Naruto tried to get up but Sasuke pushed him to the ground once again. The look in his eyes made shivers run down Naruto's spine.

"One more thing. What is my prize for rescuing you, babydoll?"

"How about keeping your head?" The blue eyes glared.

"I think something that could actually be beneficial to me. Something more...delicate." The dark orbs - now more wine red than black - shifted their focus to Naruto's neck. To be more specific; his pulse. The sky blue eyes widened.

"No! No, don't even think about it. You know what happens after so please." Naruto starts to struggle again with new found energy. The raven sighs and takes a tight hold of the back of Naruto's neck and around his small waist.

"I am thinking about it and I am also thinking about what runs inside that pretty little head of yours, so just sit tight and enjoy the ride, babydoll."

Vampires have the ability to read the mind of the person from whom they have consumed blood from. Presuming the person lives that is. Vampires can then hear the thoughts of the person when they think about them, can see their memories and can feel their feelings. There is no coming back from that point and very few people actually want that out of their own will. However, there is this small part of Naruto that might actually want this kind of closeness. He denies that part, of course.

"Sasuke, please wait..." Naruto weakly struggles against the vampire's grip. Sasuke slides his hand from Naruto's neck to his hair, gently pulling it to make the blonde's tan neck arch. Then Naruto feels a small peck against his pulse. He inhales sharply. Then he feels open mouthed kiss on the same spot before the fangs sink into his skin. Naruto gasps and a second later, he moans.

His world exploded into beautiful colors. There are constant shivers running down his spine. He can't form a sentence even in his mind. All that comes out of his mouth are moans. Naruto doesn't even realize that he has a death grip on Sasuke's shirt, pulling him closer. Then before he knows it the feeling disappears - leaving a pleasant buzz under his skin - and he can think again. Then, he punches Sasuke square on his jaw, making the raven fall next to him on the ground. Then Naruto is up and walking to the direction of the city, cursing under his breath about stupid vampires and their stupid biology making him feel hot under his skin. He hears soft chuckling behind him all the way to the city.

Present:

Naruto is snapped out of his memories by a knock on the door

"Naruto? Are you okay? You have been in there for 40 minutes already."

"Yeah, I'm fine! I'm gonna get out now!" Naruto shuts the tap, thus shutting the water.

"I have some clothes for you here on the bed." There is something about the tone which bothered Naruto, making his cheeks feel flushed.

"You just want to see me naked, you asshole." Naruto glares at the door imagining that it would burn the raven haired vampire on the other side.

"Bingo, babydoll."

"Wha-t the hell?" Did he just read my mind?

"Yes babydoll, I just read your mind." Naruto could hear the obvious evil smirk in that tone.

"Get out of my head." He mutters, knowing that the raven could hear him. And he did because a low chuckle reached his ears.

Naruto steps out of the shower and dries himself with the towel that Sasuke gave him. Once again his blue eyes find themselves in the mirror. Then Naruto takes in the scar-filled body of his - the scars coming from multiple hunting trips. He runs his fingers over the one and only bite scar on his left inner thigh - a sort of promise that Naruto made with Sasuke. It feels like it was a long time ago. Naruto quickly takes his hand back, running his eyes over his short, yet lean frame. Some people say his profile is a bit feminine with his small waist and a bit wider hips than men usually have but Naruto doesn't really mind those comments. The last thing his eyes focuses on are the six thin scars on his cheeks, three on each. He frowns, doesn't have a memory of how he got them.

Naruto steps out of the bathroom only to collide with Sasuke's wide chest. The height difference used to annoy Naruto quite often. Good to know that hasn't changed. Naruto looks up, only to see dark eyes full of mirth and pale lips stretched to a smirk.

"Where are the fucking clothes, asshole?" I am too tired for this shit - actually too tired for your shit. The raven only smirks more, ignoring the blonde's thoughts.

"I prefer you without clothes. Sorry, I would prefer a scene with..." He bends down next to Naruto's ear. His lips brush against the blonde's earlobe making him shiver. "...you, and me in a bed. Plus, we would be naked with you under me, moaning-"

Naruto slaps a hand over the raven's devious mouth, stopping him from speaking more. Naruto's face feels way too hot for comfort. He tries to look annoyed. He might fail.

"I want to stop you right there, keep your dirty fantasies to yourself, pervert. Were you supposed to check my neck injury?" Naruto glances to Sasuke only to see his dark eyes staring at him without any humor. The taller straightens his back, grabbing the blond's hand away from his mouth from his wrist and dragging Naruto to the bed where the raven releases the blonde's wrist. There is a pile of clothes on the bed that Sasuke points at.

"Change first." Oh, so bossy.

"Don't boss me around, ass. And turn around, can't a guy get some privacy in here?" Naruto refuses to admit his whiny tone. Sasuke wears another trademark smirk of his.

"Why? You and I both know there isn't anything new for me under that towel."

"Fuck off." So, Naruto turns around and grabs the first piece of item first, a black t-shirt, pulling it on. After he grabs the boxers, puts them on and then the last piece of clothing - shorts that are a bit too short for comfort. Sasuke's bite scar on Naruto's inner thigh can be seen and Naruto sighs.

When Naruto turns around it is to see Sasuke's dark eyes looking at him. Then the dark orbs shift to the tan thigh and his - hungry? - eyes turn more sad, Naruto guesses. Which is odd, Uchihas don't do sad.

"Go ahead and sit down on the bed. I will take a look at your wound." Sasuke looks to Naruto's eyes with the same sadness. Naruto is kind of glad that Sasuke didn't bring up their promise scar. Naruto doesn't have the energy to think about their past and he thinks Sasuke can sense it. However, there was something weird about the way Sasuke looked at the scar on Naruto's inner left thigh. It almost looked like longing. Though that can't be possible.

Can't it?
