Chapter One The Beginning


To say Itachi Uchiha was hungry was an understatement. Going four days without feeding was the worst idea he and Gaara had ever thought of. Then again it was more like a bet and it was failing miserably. Not only was Itachi starving, his energy levels were dropping drastically and he needed to feed before he dropped dead. Gaara was in the same situation and was standing next to him surveying the empty street. It was a Thursday evening and people were either at home or working the late shift at work.

Through the past few decades 'stories' and 'myths' were spread around about the group Gaara and Itachi belonged to. The thought of vampires was nothing but shear fantasy and fable to humans. Many of them believed there were vampires in the world only because they have been fed upon by Itachi or the other group members. Other than those few humans, vampires were just considered as figments of ones imagination.

Now Itachi and Gaara stood a top a rooftop staring down onto the empty streets. Both hungry for blood. Both on the verge of death. After waiting several hours and not finding suitable blood donors Itachi and Gaara headed out to the local stables which were not too far off. Animal blood would have to sustain them until Friday, Saturday, and Sunday night where almost everyone was off and wondering around at night looking for a good time. As for right now Gaara and Itachi jumped from rooftop to rooftop and finally landing in the stables through an open window. They knew better and they knew that their elder was not going to be too happy, but they had to do it. Entering one stall each Itachi and Gaara set off to work.


Mikimoto was the leader of the covenant Dark Blood. The organization was known throughout the underlying world in which the humans were absolutely oblivious to; but there was a situation and problem that he had detected amongst his brothers, sisters, and children that saying he was pissed would be way beyond an understatement. He had heard about Itachi and Gaara's bet to one another and found it quite interesting and doubted the young vampires would go through with it, but now that it was confirmed that the two had gone four days without feeding, Mikimoto knew what blood source the two idiotic vampires would go to since it was way to late to find a worthy pray to feed upon. So Mikimoto had Itachi and Gaara followed and when they were done feeding they were to be brought to him immediately.

A knock on the solid oak door brought Mikimoto out of his train of thought. He closed his eyes as he bid whoever it was enter. As soon as the door opened Mikimoto recognized two very familiar energies and sighed in annoyance. It was the two troublemakers that he wanted to see and from what he could sense Itachi and Gaara were terrified and from what Mikimoto could recall he never knew Itachi to be capable of showing fear or any emotion for that matter. Then here was Itachi, standing in front of his desk slightly shaking. Mikimoto opened his eyes and looked at Itachi. 'His eyes are red. Hm.'

"Itachi. Gaara. You know well why you are here." Mikimoto stated flatly

"Yes" Itachi and Gaara answered in unison

"Good. You two have never done anything like this before and I hope you learned why it is important to feed at the appropriate time and to not make such foolish ideas and bets"

"Yes" They answered in unison again

"Good. You are dismissed. Oh wait. Itachi. I need you to stay behind. I need to talk to you about something else" Gaara bowed and left. He glanced behind him at Itachi before closing the door behind him. Mikimoto turned his gaze back at Itachi who was still staring at him with red eyes.

"Child. Are you not going to tell me what happened when you two went to feed."

"Father...please forgive me..."

"What is it. Itachi speak up. Do not be afraid." Itachi stared blankly at Mikimoto. Tears welling up at the corners of his eyes but his face still portrayed fear.

"I can't"

"Why not. Itachi what can possibly force you to keep silence."

"You will not believe me" Itachi's voice started to crack as memories of what happened at the stables flooded back into his mind.

"If you will not tell me then I will search your memory." Itachi looked horrified for a second before taking a step back. Mikimoto got up and walked around his desk to face Itachi. Itachi just kept backing away. The fear he held was becoming more relevant and threatened to push Itachi over the edge and into shock. Mikimoto lunged forward and grabbed Itachi's hand. Flashes of that nights events passing over his eyes as he searched for the base of Itachi's fear and he found it.

####Flashback####

Itachi was busy sucking a horse dry when he heard a noise come from the far right end of the stable. Itachi stood up and walked out of the stall. Blood dripped from his mouth and down his lips and chin. Itachi and Gaara were at the far left so Itachi could not get a good look at what was going on further down to the right. The noise happened again and Itachi walked over to where it was. He glanced into the stall where Gaara was feeding and saw that the younger vampire was unfazed by the sound and it made Itachi wonder whether the boy heard it.

The noise happened again and this time Gaara heard it. Joining Itachi, Gaara was on his guard for anything that was to happen. In a split second the sound of screeches of absolute pain from a horse filled the air freezing the two vampires. The screeching lasted only a second before the horse fell silent with a thud that confirmed that he was either dead or wounded. Gaara looked at Itachi who was transfixed on the stall that the screeches came from. Continuing their walk to the stall a black blur rushed out and passed them. Itachi and Gaara turned around just in time to see a figure skid to a halt and turn around. Sharp razor like teeth shined red in the dim light as pale gray eyes stared over a broad shoulder at the two vampires.

Itachi was rooted to the spot and Gaara just disappeared in a puff of smoke and hay thinking that Itachi was doing the same. The figure approached Itachi slowly sensing that Itachi was now alone. Itachi's breathe quickened as the figure got closer but finally caught when a sliver of moonlight showed a beast beyond comprehension and description. Unable to move Itachi just stood there. His eyes transfixed with the pale grey ones which seemed to compel him to stay put and not fear. The creature took another step forward before placing a clawed hand behind Itachi's head. The creature inclined Itachi's head to the left before lowering it own to bite the juncture where neck and shoulder met. Itachi gave a whimper of pain before relaxing. The creature continued to bite deeper as Itachi became more relaxed to the point where the beast had to lower him to the floor. The monster let go of his hold on Itachi and looked into Itachi's half hooded eyes. They were red as the signature of the blood clan he came from. The beast snarled before getting up and dashing off. Leaving Itachi on the floor bleeding.

Gaara had realized that Itachi had not followed him was making his way back to the stable to get him. Since his energy levels were not to regain themselves again until he got some rest after feeding which seemed like it was never to happen. Upon entering the stable again Gaara noticed a black blur pass him. He turned around to the beast staring at him before dashing off again into the night. Turning to look into the stable Gaara saw Itachi get up. There was a rather large amount of blood on the floor and Gaara feared the worst. Itachi sensed that his friend was there and assured him that he was alright. Getting up on shaky legs Itachi grabbed Gaara's hand and disappeared to the house where they lived with the rest of their family and species.

####Flashback Ends####

Mikimoto let go of Itachi's hand and stared at Itachi in disbelief. Itachi on the other hand sank to the floor. Tears staining his face as he started to shake violently. He was scared. He may not know what that creature was but he knew his father knew and judging from the look on his father's face it was not good. Mikimoto grabbed him and ripped the black shirt Itachi wore revealing a large and deep bite mark at the crook of Itachi's neck. Mikimoto stared straight into Itachi's eyes before speaking.

"Itachi."

"Please...I couldn't..."

"Itachi calm down. It's alright child there is nothing to worry about. There is a way to cure it. You just trust me and relax."

"But I..."

"How could you when you were entranced. Do not worry about it."

"How are you going to take care of it?"

"I can bring you back. You know how I am going to do that. You will be my son again and you make sure that you and Gaara never to something as stupid as not feeding for days. Understood."

"Understood."

Mikimoto nodded his head and wrapped his arms around Itachi's waist. Itachi placed his hands on Mikimoto's biceps as Mikimoto leaned down and bit the unwounded side of Itachi's neck. Itachi gave a small moan of pleasure before passing out in Mikimoto's arms.
