Chapter Two: Memories
�Memory is a way of holding onto the things you love, the things you are, the things you never want to lose. �
-From the television show The Wonder Years-
The spring breeze blew across the flat farmland and through the stalks of golden wheat. They swayed, glowing gently in the light from the sun. Everything seemed so peaceful and calm; then again, the happily shining sun can be very deceiving.
Amongst the wheat ran a boy, no older than fifteen, his golden hair flowing as he fled to his destination. His body screamed in pain, his muscles contracted and blood flowed freely down his brow, yet he kept moving. He had to keep moving.
It was a pitiful sight, to watch one so young suffer so much.
He fell then, yelling out as he fell heavily on his knees on the dry soil. Things were not supposed to be like this. This was not supposed to happen. It was wrong, so wrong.
Yet the boy still could not help but ask himself why? Why had it been so horrible? Why was what he had done so bad? Why couldn�t he love?
Crying thick tears, he got back onto his feet and fixed his gaze on the forest a few feet away. He knew that he would find him there. He needed to see him, just one more time. He needed to tell him, tell him that everything was ok. That what had happened was not his fault, that he did not want him to blame himself when he was gone.
Smiling sadly through the pain, he ran towards the edge of the trees. He only hoped that the one person he cared about more than anything else could live once he was gone; after all, once he went back, he would die.
From the forest, another boy stood waiting for the blond, just like he always did. He was unaware of the troubling news that would soon be brought to him in mere minutes. Soon his whole world would crumble, and for the second time in his life, he would be completely powerless to do anything. He would again lose everything.
He would just stand there in panicked shock as the blond reached him, wishing that his eyes deceived him. He would take in the other boy�s appearance with pained eyes and guilt would overwhelm him, consuming him and dragging him into a darkness greater than he had ever known existed.
He would just curl up and sink back into the sorrow and pain. It was not an unfamiliar feeling; However, he wished now, more than ever, that he could truly die.
Sasuke frowned at the bitter memory, one he wished never to remember again. It was of a time long ago, although the memory itself felt as fresh as if it happened only yesterday.
�Damn it� He cursed mentally as he continued to stare at the boy in front of him. Guilt in its purest form flowed through him, making him want to fall to his knees. That face... he was never supposed to look upon that face ever again. It should be a sin after what he had done.
He was supposed to live on in his guilt and misery. That was his punishment for the pain he had caused in his past. Alone to walk a path drenched in darkness.
�Sasuke?� Sakura had turned to the raven. Her voice was full of concern; It wasn�t everyday one saw someone like Sasuke look so stricken. It was as if he was trying to pull broken pieces of himself together, but failing miserably.
It confused the onlookers and worried them, and even Naruto was unsure of what to say or do.
He felt such a connection towards Sasuke that it frightened him to no end. As a result, Naruto felt an irrelevant hatred for the boy. He did not want to feel anything for monsters such as him.
Naruto knew that Sasuke was a vampire, of course, he knew it the moment the boy walked into the room. It was like an aura that radiated off him.
Suddenly Sasuke tensed, his body going ridged and his fist clenching. He set piercing eyes upon Naruto and spoke in a shaky voice that he hoped he could keep steady.
�Suck it up moron, drink up and get over it.� With that being said, Sasuke fled from the room, but not before taking another pained glance at Naruto.
Naruto just blinked as his body went numb. Every feeling that was running through him seemed to be sucked away as Sasuke left the room. He felt utterly alone and unprotected.
It was odd, but Naruto saw better to brush the feeling aside and forget it ever happened. If he pursued this, he knew that it would only lead to unwanted trouble, and trouble was not what he wanted at the moment.
�Well, that was different.� Ino was now on the ground picking up the shards of glass and the puddle of blood from the broken cup on the floor.
The voice seemed to be the much needed break in the tense silence that had fallen over the room.
�Is he always like that?� Naruto asked, not really caring to hear the answer, but wanting to keep a conversation going. He had always found that it was easier to forget uncomfortable things when you occupied yourself with idle chitchat.
�Who, Sasuke?� Sakura asked, a tad unnecessarily.
Naruto nodded, watching the blood as it spread out onto the white linoleum before being mopped up, leaving the floor clean. No one would ever know that human blood had sat there.
�Well he is usually quiet and to himself...�
�And moody.� Ino interrupted.
She received a frown from Sakura, who ignored her and continued.
�I don�t know what was up with him just now...� She thought for a moment, tapping her chin with her finger. It was a habit she had developed when she was little. �He seemed like he knew you though... or at least recognized you.�
�This is the first time I have ever seen him.� Sakura considered him for a moment.
Naruto, now that Sakura had mentioned it, felt unnerved by the fact that Sasuke did indeed seem to know him. �How did he know my name?� It was a question that Naruto was unsure whether or not he wanted answered.
�Hmm... maybe it was something else, then. I don�t know too much about him. After all, I am a human. Ino though... she might know something.�
Ino looked up from where she was sitting on the floor, now leaning against a cabinet.
�Hmm...Sasuke? He is an interesting person, or his past is at least, so I hear. I was born some hundred years after this all happened so I am just going by what I have been told. Sasuke doesn�t talk about it, so it�s pointless to ask him.�
Sakura took a seat at the table and motioned Naruto over.
�I have a feeling this is going to be a long story.� Naruto took the seat offered to him between Sakura and Shikamaru, who seemed to be asleep.
Settling down he watched Ino as she sat on the floor, and waited intently to hear the story.
�To tell this story I will have to start at the very beginning when the first vampire was born. Back when the world was still young and the people were filled with evil and sin. It all started in Germany, in a small farming town. They were a peaceful people with nothing special, at least not in the form of gold or natural monuments. What they did have was a special someone.
She was a beautiful woman with long amber locks and lovely green eyes. The villagers adored her, for she was a gifted healer. They said that she had been born in God�s favor and was blessed with the power to heal the sickened and weak.
It was said that there was not a person that she could not heal. It was a mighty big boast, so soon many travelers came to her, seeking her powers.
Like all the ones before them, they were healed. Nothing seemed incurable at her hand, and she was soon revered and loved by all... but one. Lucifer, heaven�s fallen angel, himself was infuriated by the woman. No disease or plague he sent her way could over come her. It angered him to be outdone by a human, and a woman no less.
He was determined to make her pay. Yet that too was difficult to get around; after all, she was favored by the same Lord that had cast him to hell. He could not harm or curse her, but there was another way. If he could not harm her, than he would make her family suffer, and in turn she shall feel the pain of her loved ones.�
Ino took a breath and looked around her. Everyone was listening intently�even Shikamaru was awake now. She loved retelling stories; in one of her previous lives, she had been a storyteller when she had grown old. She still remembered the happy and anxious faces of the children who would come to listen to her.
Smiling to herself, she continued.
�Taking the form of a handsome man, he came up to her from hell. He put on a good farce, he treated her kindly and slowly his plan began to move along as she fell in love with him, and that was when he finally made his move. When he finally had her alone and unguarded, he attacked, raping her in the most horrible of ways. Taking the virginity of something so pure was very satisfying to him, but it was not enough.
He would make sure that the child and any children she had after that would be cursed to be monsters that lived only for bloodlust.
After the event, the young woman was in despair. She had been deceived and violated, yet she carried the child full term and gave birth to a lovely daughter with onyx locks and even darker eyes. Sadly though, she could not see her daughter grow and live for the birth had been more difficult than expected and she ended up bleeding to death from a torn cervix.�
Sakura cringed at this and Naruto made a face. Childbirth was not something he had any interest in... it just sounded too pain full. He didn�t even see the reason for Ino to have to mention the exact cause of death. Yet after seeing her smirk, she decided that she was doing it just for the reactions she was receiving from her listeners.
�The girl ended up growing up into a fine young woman with no sign of a curse being placed upon her. That was, until she hit her sixteenth year of life. It was in that year that her thirst came to be. It did not take her long before she became crazed by it all and took her own life soon after.
If only it was that easy. A decade later, she was reborn, and again on her sixteenth year her thirst returned along with her memories. Everything seemed so unreal; she had lived before. This was her second life.�
Naruto couldn�t say he blamed the girl for taking the path she had. If Naruto could, he was sure he would take his own life. If only it was possible.
�It was again so tempting to take her life but she did not see the use if she was only going to be reborn again. So this time around, she tried to live, but still it was so lonely. She wanted others to relate to. Others that would suffer along with her. As they say misery loves company.� Ino laughed dryly.
�Soon she had a small family of sorts. They kept to themselves for the most part, adding a new human to the group every once in a while. It went on like that for some years until she finally died again... this time of old age.
It was at least a century before she was reborn again. By that time, the vampires had been given the name �leben� for the eternal life they had acquired.
When her memories returned and she reentered the world she had created, she was surprised to see how much the vampires had grown in number. Humans too had began to grow suspicious, as the vampires began to flaunt their power. That�s how we came into human myth and horror.
Sadly, there was little she could do at that time... that was, until she met �him�. He was a wealthy business man who had met her while visiting Germany. She instantly fell in love with him... It was love at first sight.� Ino sighed dreamily, earning her a snort from Shikamaru.
She only glared at him and then at Naruto when he began to snicker.
�I don�t know what you find so funny. Love at first sight is just so romantic.�
�Ino please, can you possibly get back to the story.� Sakura finally spoke up, trying to save Naruto from the future pounding he was bound to get if he kept it up. He had yet to learn how scary the blond girl could be.
�Fine, fine... now where was I... Oh yes... She fell in love with him, and soon got married. Now keep in mind that he was a human. They ended up having a daughter who shared characteristics of both parents... even the unsightly ones. It was like all the others, upon her sixteenth year she acquired the thirst and began to feed upon the blood of humans. Her father was soon confronted with this unsightly fact and demanded answers from his wife.
She told him the truth, of course, and because he loved her so much, he accepted it and even requested to be turned into vampire like herself. Now everything after that is pretty much unimportant except for the fact that they had to wait many years before fate smiled on them and they met again. We have no control over when we are reborn so it�s sometimes impossible to be with our loved ones again... sometimes you will meet them, but they might be just a baby while you are pushing thirty.
Okay... Like in their previous life together, they got married and had another child, this time a boy. It was a truly special thing though. This boy was a true vampire... never human in his life, with his own soul and not one reborn. They figured it had something to do with his mother being a true vampire... one that had also never been human. Her genes enabled such a thing.
Some years later they had a second son who turned out just like the first. A fresh soul, untainted by human desires. Now this is when everything gets fuzzy and I don�t have much details to say about this... only Sasuke knows the true story.� Her gaze shifted towards the doorway that Sasuke had left through earlier.
�The eldest son for whatever reason... I still can�t see why he would do it, although the power he received from it was probably a main factor. Anyways... He killed his whole family except for his younger brother. Most would not be bothered too much by this, yet this murder was not meant for them to be reborn again. No, the oldest son made sure that his mother and father would never step on this earth again. He preformed a taboo art; he ate their hearts, and in doing so, their souls as well.
Without a soul, a vampire cannot be reborn. If vampires have only one strict rule, then it would be against the destruction of their brethren.
It is not just the act of murder that is so taboo; it�s also the unthinkable powers that come with consuming a vampire�s soul. It is a ticket to never ending life... you can no longer die or age, stuck forever in your ageless body.�
�So you mean that this guy is still around.� Naruto interrupted her, not liking the way this story was now going. Could a monster that horrible still be alive? He really didn�t want to consider that. Then again, it made no sense. How did all of this pertain to Sasuke? �Also... How does this all pertain to Sasuke?� He said mimicking his thoughts.
�Hmm... I thought you would figure it out by now. Sasuke was that man�s younger brother�he is the only survivor of the main family. The last of the true vampires... aside from his brother... and the Hyuugas, but that�s a story I�d rather not get into... rather confusing. It shows what horrors human blood can do to a vampire line.
Anyway, Sasuke has been dead set on killing his brother since then. Although he went into some kind of hibernation or something a few lives after his family�s murder. I�m not sure what you would call it. All I know is that he supposedly killed himself and was not reborn until this lifetime, some hundred years later. Your guess is as good as mine as to what could have happened.� Ino ended the story with a shake of her head.
�Well it�s getting late, and I need to jump in the shower.� She got up and left the room quietly. Everyone seemed to be in deep thought�well, everyone except Shikamaru, who seemed to be asleep again.
Naruto sat there, his eyes trained on the floor. He thought he had it rough with his life now, but he couldn�t even begin to imagine what Sasuke had gone through. It made him feel lucky to still have his mom no matter how she felt about him.
It amazed him how someone could even live through something like that�then again, did Sasuke even have a choice? If he killed himself he would just be reborn, and Naruto doubted that he could find someone willing to eat his heart unless it was his brother.
His brother. The thought sent chills down his spine. Naruto didn�t know what he would do if he even met someone like that. A person who could kill their whole family for power. Could a person even be that horrible? Naruto was sure that only a monster could be that heartless.
�Hmm... So Sasuke�s mother was the first vampire. That�s pretty impressive. I always wondered why the others treated him almost like royalty. Sucks about his family though... Maybe I could offer him some comfort.� Sakura smiled wistfully at the thought of possibly getting closer to the handsome Uchiha. It was a goal in her life that she had yet to give up on�it was just so hard considering how reclusive Sasuke was.
�You like him?� It was a simple question, but it made Sakura blush nonetheless. She turned to look at Naruto�s inquisitive face.
�Umm... well... I guess a little... I mean how can you resist someone who looks like... him.� She stuttered a bit but kept her eyes trained in on Naruto�s. �Why... is there something wrong with that?� She quirked an eyebrow and looked at him questionably.
Without him even realizing it, he had let a frown slide onto his face. It was a completely irrational response, he didn�t even care what Sakura felt for the guy. Hell, he didn�t even know him, yet he sat there feeling irritated by her words and maybe a little bit jealous.
�Damn, what�s with me?� He shook his head quickly. �Pull yourself together Naruto.� He told himself.
�Nothing, I was just thinking. Sorry Sakura.�
�Will you two shut up? I am trying to sleep.� Both turned to the previously sleeping Shikamaru.
�Sorry Shika, we�ll leave you be. I gotta show Naruto his room anyways.� She said hoisting herself up from the table. �Have a goodnight.�
�Yeah, yeah.� After having said that, he let his head fall back to the table with a dull thud.
�Come on, Naruto.�
�What? You�re just going to let him sleep there?�
Sakura just laughed. �Yeah, Shikamaru is a strange one. He pretty much sleeps wherever he currently is... One time we found him asleep with the shower. He says it�s too troublesome to get up and head to bed when he is tired... then again, he says everything is troublesome.�
�That�s because it is.� They both turned back to the supposedly sleeping boy.
�Yeah, we know Shika.� Shaking her head, she led Naruto out of the room. It was already getting to be late in the afternoon and she was sure that Naruto would want to get into bed early. He was probably stressed out and tired.
�Come on, your room is upstairs.� They walked up two flights of stairs and onto the third and topmost floor. This floor looked more contemporary than the rest of the decor on campus. The walls were painted dark red and the accents in the room were a light cream color.
�Your room is down the left hall... and the bathrooms are at the very back.� Sakura pointed at the farthest door with a sigh that said �men� on it.
They walked down the hall together, but stopped as one of the doors opened revealing the last person Naruto wanted to see again any time soon.
Sasuke stood there, scowling at Naruto. His face was�if possible�even paler that it had been hours ago. It was an eerie sight, as if he was a ghost or something.
�What the hell is his problem.� Naruto thought as Sasuke turned around and slammed the door shut again. Whatever it was that the Uchiha had come out for, it seemed to be less important than avoiding Naruto. He knew that was exactly what Sasuke was beginning to do. He was not an idiot... or more like moron as the raven had so eloquently put it.
Something had definitely crawled up his ass. Naruto only hoped he would fish it out sometime soon or seek medical help. Being that much of a bastard could not be healthy.
Acting as if nothing had happened, Sakura steered Naruto to the room opposite Sasuke�s.
�This one is yours.� She opened it and pushed him in. �Get some sleep and be sure to be up by seven so you can get some breakfast. Classes start at eight. Goodnight.� That being said she hurried out and dashed off to her room in the opposite hall. She did not like the tension that was beginning to brew. Her instincts told her to stay out of it.
Well at least this would prove to be an interesting year if nothing else. Although Naruto had a strange feeling that it would be anything but calm.
