Naruto Fan Fiction ❯ Vampire's Kiss ❯ Explanations ( Chapter 5 )

“Do you really expect me to believe that?” Naruto took an involuntary step back. “Vampires? Real? You've got to be joking.” Naruto gave a nervous chuckle. He could feel his heart beat pick up the pace, but not as much as he expected.

 

“Then tell me, dobe, how would you explain it.” Sasuke jumped down gracefully in front of him. He walked up slowly to Naruto with amused eyes. “You can explain can't you?”

 

Naruto took another step back. Sasuke's pale face seemed to become more sinister as the sunlight reflected off of it. “Uh . . . maybe uh, you . . . were in a government experiment involving DNA, and you superpowers?” Naruto gave a nervous laugh.

 

“ . . . . Seriously?” Sasuke frowned. “You don't really believe that after last night do you?”

 

Naruto blanched. “Dude, can you make it sound any dirtier,” Naruto muttered not intending for Sasuke to hear it.

 

“I could if I wanted too. It's your fault for even thinking that way.” Sasuke smirked as the blush of embarrassment grew obvious on Naruto's cheeks.

 

“Okay, okay, say that I do believe you.” Naruto almost shivered at the thought. He heard the late bell ring, shaking him out of his thoughts. “What happens now?”

 

“What do you expect?”

 

Naruto thought for a second. “I don't know. You're not going to try to kill me are you?”

 

“I see no point since you're dying anyway.”

 

Naruto looked at Sasuke with a confused expression. Sasuke dismissed it with a wave of his hand. “Ask some questions or something. Maybe some knowledge will help that poor excuse for a brain.”

 

Naruto glared, but did not say anything. He was curious, but he wasn't going to admit it. “If you're a vampire, how come you can come out into the sun?”

 

“It's a myth. We usually don't come out into the day because we attract a lot of attention with our unnatural beauty. It gets quite annoying. On top of that, it makes the weaker vampires tired and feel weak.”

 

“Okay then, how about coffins?”

 

“Myth.”

 

“Stakes?”

 

“Myth,” Sasuke replied with a bored voice.

“Garlic?”

 

“Half-myth. New vampires don't like the smell because it messes with their sense of smell and gives a small burning sensation on contact, but other than that myth.”

 

“Shit, is there anything that isn't a myth?” the blonde hair boy cried out in frustration.

 

“The parts about the blood drinking, the speed, and the strength are real.”

 

“Great,” Naruto muttered sarcastically. “All the dangerous parts.”

 

“Pretty much,” Sasuke yawned at the boredom of the conversation. He sat in front of the door and his eyes drifted closed.

 

“So, why didn't you kill me?” Naruto asked, all sarcasm aside.

 

“Because to my surprise, you are a virgin. Definitely didn't expect that one.”

 

Naruto gaped. His mouth opened and closed several times, but he shook his head. “What the hell does that mean?!”

 

“When a vampire drinks blood, there are three options: one, drink all the blood and burn the body to make sure it doesn't become apart of the undead, two, if the body isn't a virgin, the vampire drinking the blood can will it to become a vampire or a ghoul as long as they do not kill the body before the change, three, if the body is a virgin, the body will become a vampire automatically as long as the body is not killed. Most choose option one because they usually can't stop feasting on the blood. I planned on turning you into a ghoul so you could serve me because I liked your spirit, but what do you know; the badass of the school is a virgin.”

 

“Can you stop saying that!” Naruto yelled.

 

Sasuke opened one eye. “What did you say virgin boy?”

 

“Teme!” Naruto charged at Sasuke planning to punch the pale boy, but as Naruto's fist was less than an inch from Sasuke's face, Sasuke disappeared. Naruto felt someone push him from behind and he fell into the door.

 

“You know you should have someone check your brain, dobe. I think there might be something wrong with it.”

 

Naruto rubbed his head as a small trail of blood trickled down his forehead. “Shit,” he muttered as he pressed his hand against his head.

 

Sasuke watched the boy, not taking his eyes off the crimson trail that peaked beneath his hand. Sasuke walked towards Naruto with his eyes fixed.

 

“Teme?”

 

Sasuke knelt next to Naruto, pulling Naruto's hand way licking the blood off of it.

 

“Yo, Teme! Get a hold of yourself.” Naruto squirmed uneasily. Sasuke's black eyes locked onto Naruto's with annoyance. Naruto shut up, cowering slightly.

 

After all the blood was cleaned off his hand, Sasuke's mouth drifted up Naruto's arm and stop at his neck. His nose ran across his neck, inhaling the scent. His lip twitched upward slightly. He could feel himself wanting to bite into the blonde's flesh, but the source of the smell came elsewhere, so he trailed along his jaw line.

 

Naruto was stiff. Sasuke's sudden actions made him nervous and frightened. Maybe Sasuke wanted to turn him to lunch. The feeling he got didn't help when he felt Sasuke trailing up his neck, but a strange part of him was almost enjoying it. Must be from not getting laid. He frowned slightly, but his attention was diverted else where when Sasuke pressed his body closer, so Sasuke could reach the blood on his forehead.

 

Sasuke licked a small trail of blood from the wound almost wanting to shiver in delight. It had been a long while since he found blood as sweet as Naruto's. A scent that was a drug to all vampires. He finished licking the wound and was disappointed to find that the wound had already closed. He could hear Naruto's quickened heartbeat, and it pulled Sasuke away from his trance. Sasuke immediately backed away. “Sorry. . . I couldn't resist.” He unconsciously licked the rest of the blood off his lips.

 

“ . . . Right. . . “

 

An awkward silence followed. Finally, Naruto was the first to break the silence.

 

“Why am I not a vampire?” His voice shook slightly as if fighting something inside of him.

 

“It takes time. In a week or so, your skin will become paler as less blood is going through your body. In another week, you will stop eating and all human food will repulse you. The week after that the pain kicks in and you feel as if you're burning alive, yet your skin will start to become cold, and a week or two after that your, heart will finally stop. A day later you will be one of us,” Sasuke didn't look at Naruto as he answered.

 

Naruto sat quietly for a while. The only sounds were Naruto's heartbeat and the sound of the breeze.

 

“So . . . I'm dying. . . In four to five weeks, I'll . . . be dead. . . “

 

The pain in his voice came through clearly though Naruto meant to hide it, and Sasuke almost felt a shot of guilt, almost.

 

“You didn't seem to care about dying last night,” Sasuke's voice was unemotional yet somehow cold. It sent shivers up Naruto's spine.

 

“I didn't think about it. I never think. Since I have time, I have a chance too.” Naruto cringed, but quickly hid it. Sasuke caught it, but said nothing.

 

Shut up you stupid demon!

 

Naruto could hear the loud, cold, hateful laugh in his head. Why should I? This is better than I could ever hope.

 

What do you mean?

 

Wait. All I can say is that your father's attempts are now all in vein.

 

Wait! What do you mean by that!

 

The laugh only grew louder, and Naruto internally cringed.

 

“-be?” a smooth voice called into his thoughts.

 

“Dobe?”

 

“What?” Naruto looked up to see Sasuke only a few inches away from him.

 

“You seemed to have spaced out. I was making sure you didn't get lost inside your own mind.”

 

“Have I ever mentioned that I hate you and I hope you jump off a cliff and suddenly burst into flames?” Naruto growled.

 

“No, and I'm very doubtful that will happen.”

 

Naruto stood up and turned to leave.

 

“Where are you going, dobe?” Sasuke called out after him.

 

“I'm going to see Kiba since you put him in the hospital,” Sasuke could hear the anger in his voice without having to see his face.

 

“I'm coming with you.”

 

“I don't want you to be anywhere near him,” Naruto turned to him snarling. His once sky blue eyes, a fiery red.

 

Sasuke held in a bit surprisement. “Do you really think you can stop me?”

 

Naruto stopped and his scowl grew, but left to leave, knowing he couldn't, Sasuke following not too far behind.
