Blood Stained Lilies
Chapter Four: Monster
�Walking into the night, I see the truth within the darkness and cry unwanted tears for what I have become.�
- Me -
It was exactly thirty minutes later, after his run-in with Sasuke, that Naruto sat in German Studies feeling irritated and guilty. Irritated because he was now sitting in a class full of vampires, learning about their history.
Who would have thought that a class called German Studies was about vampire history? Then again, it was a clever cover-up. The human students would never know the difference. Naruto could deal with that class, more or less, but it was the guilt that was getting to him.
He shouldn�t feeling that way for what had transpired earlier. Sasuke totally deserved what he had said. He hated the raven-haired boy. He really did!
Naruto sighed. If only that sounded as convincing in his head as it did out loud. Hate, though, was too strong of a word. Naruto could admit to that. He felt something more akin to dislike.
Despite that, it still hurt him to see the pain flicker across Sasuke�s face as he yelled �I hate you�. Why it hurt him, Naruto didn�t know. After all Sasuke was the last person that he cared about.
The raven-haired boy was just such a bastard. Granted, he did have his moments when he tried to be helpful, but so far those had been few and far between.
Naruto stole a glance across the room. Sasuke sat there his eyes straight ahead. His face was blank, giving away nothing of what he felt. On the inside, however, was a different story; in reality, Sasuke was in turmoil.
Naruto�s words still rung within his mind, making his heart ache. It was just like before, back when they had first met. Naruto had been as hot headed as ever, not letting the young Uchiha get away with the foul words he had used. In the end, they had ended up brawling.
If he remembered correctly, it was that fight that had brought them together. Then again, that was then, and this was now.
They were two different Narutos, no matter how similar they seemed. It hurt to think just how similar they were. They had the same golden, sun-kissed hair and deep blue eyes. Their personalities were also quite similar. The only difference was that this Naruto did not speak Sasuke�s name with affection. Sasuke could not have the Naruto that was with him now; it was a thought that cut him deep.
He would do anything to have that blond in his arms again. To have his warm lips brush against his ear as he muttered sweet nothings.
�Shit, I have to keep my mind on something else.� Thinking of such things would only bring him pain. In truth, he guessed that Naruto was the lucky one. He would never have to remember the horrors of their past, and he would never have to know of Sasuke�s betrayal. It was better this way.
After what Sasuke had done, he did not even deserve to have Naruto look upon him, whether it was with affection or hate. He was the real cause of the events that caused their lives to be torn apart.
�I lied to him.� Sasuke thought. �I really am a monster.�
His eyes traveled towards the windows and to where Naruto sat.
Sasuke was shocked to see a pair of sky blue eyes staring back at him from across the room.
Naruto smiled at him, sending him an apologetic look before turning away.
Naruto couldn�t stay mad any longer. He had to get this off his chest, so he did the only thing he could. He gave Sasuke his forgiveness.
Sasuke smiled to himself when Naruto turned away. He would take all he could get from the blond. For now, his past would be forgotten, at least until the next time it decided to haunt him, showing him that he could never have his happily ever after.
The rest of class was spent listening to their teacher, Kakashi, as he lectured about what they would learn this year. Everything seemed pretty boring to Naruto. He really didn�t care to know who the first vampire was to win a Nobel peace prize.
After all, why did they have to take this class? Why did vampires even have to go to school at all if they remembered everything from their past lives? Naruto understood why he had to, but the others he didn�t know why they had to be here.
�Ok, next time I expect you all to have read chapter one. There will be a quiz on it so be sure you understand it.� Kakashi told his students as they grumble, packing up their things. �Don�t complain, just get out and have a nice day.�
He sat down at his desk, pulling out an orange book from within his pocket, and read as he ignored the class.
Naruto couldn�t help but laugh. This guy was a total goof. Did he even realize that they still had another ten minutes before the bell rang? Oh well. Naruto certainly wasn�t going to complain.
�Hey moron, let�s go.� Sasuke was standing next to him, holding out Naruto�s bag for him to take.
�Thanks, but you didn�t have to wait up.� Naruto wasn�t sure when the other had walked over, and was rather annoyed that he hadn�t sensed him there.
�I wanted to, it�s fine. Besides I want to apologize for what I had said before. I was just mad and�� Naruto cut him off.
�Please don�t. It was my fault. I�m just not used to all of this and I guess I have just been feeling sorry for myself. Plus, I�m not too fond of vampires, so you just happened to be a good person to get my anger out on.� He laughed nervously, hoping that Sasuke would understand. Luckily he did.
�Just forget about it. It�s over as far as I am concerned.� Naruto nodded and held out his hand to Sasuke. He was unsure why he was doing it, but maybe he had been a little too harsh in thinking that all vampires were monsters.
It might be time to give Sasuke a chance; something in the back of his mind was telling him that it was the right thing to do.
So Naruto would take an new step in this world. Smiling, he held out his hand.
�Friends?�
Sasuke could not contain the smile that spread across his face. It might not be what Sasuke wanted but he would never give up the chance to be closer to him.
He took his hand firmly in his and shook it. �Friends.�
�Ok, now that you two have kissed and made up, can you please leave.�
They both turned around to see an irritated Kakashi looking at them from behind his book.
�What, so you can read your porn?� Kakashi flashed Sasuke a look, but didn�t say anything. Instead, he turned to Naruto.
�It�s good to see you again, Naruto. It�s been too long.� Naruto stared at him confused. What was this guy talking about? He had no clue, that was for sure.
�What do you mean, you saw me just yesterday.� Kakashi contemplated this for a moment, finally bringing his book down from his face. He did not recall seeing him before today. Then again, he faintly remembered seeing Iruka with a blond boy the other day.
�Ah, yes now I remember. You were with Iruka.�
Naruto nodded, glad to see that the man remembered.
�Well in any case its good to see you again. Now if you�ll excuse me, I have some reading to do.� Sasuke bid Kakashi goodbye, but not without seeing the small smile that spread across his face.
Yes, Kakashi was happy to see Naruto again.
�Come on, let�s go.� Naruto and Sasuke walked out of the room, filing into the crowded hall.
They had English next with each other, so Sasuke didn�t have to bother showing Naruto to class. Not that he minded, he just didn�t want to be late for another class.
�Hey Sasuke.� He stopped turning to look at Naruto. They had some time to spare still since Kakashi had let them out early. He watched Naruto as he concentrated on what he was about to ask.
�I have a question. Why is it that you guys have to go to school and all? I mean don�t you remember it from like... your past lives.� Sasuke had to hand it to him. That was a pretty good question for an idiot. He guessed he would be nice and answer it, although he doubted that Naruto would like his answer.
�Well, to tell you the truth, we don�t remember everything from our past lives. Then agai,n humans forget things from day to day. Minds are only so big and they can only hold so much. Just because we are reborn with our memories doesn�t mean we remember everything. Usually the stuff we learn in school goes first. I remember some of what I have learned, but it�s all fuzzy. What I do remember, though, is big events in my lives and important people. Stuff like that is what you will never forget. If you get what I mean.�
Naruto took all of this in. �So you mean I am going to have to go to school over and over again.�
Sasuke couldn�t help but smirk at the horrified expression on Naruto�s face. Of course that would be the boy�s main concern, though Sasuke couldn�t blame him. School was not his most favorite place to be either.
�Look on the bright side though. You always get to learn new things. Plus after a few life times you start to get the hang of your studies and you don�t have to work as hard.�
Naruto groaned, having no words to portray how he felt.
�Shut it, your pouting is not going to help anything, Idiot.�
�Stop calling me that, Bastard.�
�No.�
�Gah!�
That was pretty much how the rest of the day went. Whenever they were together, they would argue and tease one another. It was weird how natural it felt, but at the same time it was a feeling Naruto welcomed freely.
For the first time in weeks he finally felt like he had found a place where he belonged. It was just strange to find it next to a certain dark haired vampire.
Naruto plopped himself on the love seat in his new �home�. The day was finally over, school had been boring like it always was and now he was laden with homework that he really did not feel like doing at the moment.
�So Naruto, did you enjoy your first day?� Sakura came into the living room sitting on the coffee table in front of him. She smiled at how exhausted he looked. It was funny to see that something as simple as school could wear the hyperactive blond out.
�Bleh, I don�t want to go back.� He groaned.
�You seemed like you were enjoying yourself at lunch.� Which was the truth. At lunch Naruto had been a full of energy, chatting with everyone adamantly. He even had Sasuke talking more than usual�An accomplishment in itself.
�Yeah, it was also nice to have you in Government and Biology. That Ibiki scares the shit out of me. I mean did you see all those scars. He reminds me of a trained assassin or something.� Naruto threw his arms up in exaggeration, making Sakura laugh.
�That�s true. I once heard he threatened to throw Neji out of the window when he didn�t agree with something he was lecturing on.�
�Neji?� Naruto looked at her in question.
�Oh, that�s right. You haven�t met him yet.� Sakura pointed to Hinata who was sitting in the kitchen talking to Ino and Shikamaru. �Neji is Hinata�s cousin. He is a year above us, which explains why you haven�t seen him around. Then again, he�s just as antisocial as Sasuke. I swear, vampires are all so moody.�
�Watch it Sakura!� Ino yelled from the kitchen in a teasing tone. Sasuke just laughed and shook her head.
�You know it�s true.� Ino huffed but couldn�t keep the smile from her face. It was just impossible to stay mad at her friend, even though she was right in some accounts.
�So Sakura, can you tell me something?� She looked back to Naruto who was watching her intently.
�You�re human, right?�
She nodded, not sure where this was going.
�So then why do you get to live here with a bunch of vampires. I mean aren�t you supposed to be oblivious to it all?� Naruto didn�t know if Sakura was a special case or not.
�Most humans are oblivious to it all but not all... let me think about how to explain this. Ummm... When a vampire is reborn it is not always reborn into a vampire family. Sometimes a human will give birth to a vampire that shares the same bloodline. A good example would be Sasuke. Since his family is dead, the vampire ones, he is reborn into a human family that is somehow related to him in some form or another. If that makes any sense.�
Naruto though it over for a moment. �So when I am reborn I will most likely be birthed by, let�s say a future cousin or something.�
�Yes, as long as you share the genes, than it can happen. In Ino�s case, she was born into a human family who happened to live next door to me and my family. We grew up together and became best friends. Since we were so close, she came to me when she started to change. I then became her supply of blood, before she finally told her parents.� Sakura giggled at Naruto�s shocked expression.
�You mean you let her drink your blood?�
�Of course, she was my friend... I won�t say I wasn�t a little freaked about the whole thing, but I did get over it. Once we told her parents though, they understood since something like this had happened before in the family, she was sent here along with me. Tsunade decided to keep us together and we have been living together ever since.� Naruto had to hand it to Sakura. He didn�t think he could do what she had done for Ino. Well then again if it was for Kiba, he probably couldn�t say no. They had been through too much together for him not to help out his friend.
Then again, Kiba was the one who was really in Sakura�s place. He was happy to know that he had stayed by his side when Iruka had told him what he had become.
Sakura stood then, patting Naruto on the head.
�Let�s go get some dinner, by the smell of it Hinata is cooking. Her meals are always the best. Then again, her mom teaches culinary arts so I guess it is to be expected.� She looked off dreamily into the distance as if she was imagining all the delicious foods that could be prepared with such knowledge.
�So we are eating here? I thought we ate in the cafeteria?� Sakura frowned. Such an idea was blasphemy to even think.
�Of course not, why would you want to eat the crap they serve you in there when you can eat Hinata�s wonderful cooking.� Naruto shrugged his shoulders. He really didn�t care so long as he ate. Then again, the smell coming was the kitchen was mouth watering.
�Sounds good to me.� It was the truth; Naruto was too hungry to care anyways.
The sound of the front door opening and someone dumping what sounded like a bag on the ground, came echoing through the room.
Sasuke stood in the doorway removing his shoes and hanging his jacket on the provided hook. The November night had turned cold, a telltale sign that winter was right around the corner.
�Welcome back Sasuke.� He looked up then to see Sakura and Naruto, both with smiles on their faces.
It was nice, he had to admit, to have such a warm welcome. Although he was more happy to see Naruto there than Sakura.
�Hn.� He gave his trademark answer, not wanting to give them the satisfaction that he enjoyed their company.
�How was the meeting?� Naruto spoke this time, filling the doorway with his energetic voice.
�It was fine more or less. Takeshi is going to be a real problem this year though. He keeps trying to rewrite his lines.� Sasuke was head of the theater club. From what he had told Naruto, they were working on a thanksgiving play that would be showing the weekend before they were let out for the week-long holiday.
�I�m not surprised. You know how he is.� Sakura shook her head in mild irritation.
Naruto decided not to ask anything on the matter. Instead, he looked back towards the kitchen. The smell of dinner had intensified since Sasuke�s arrival, and it only caused his mouth to water even more.
�You think din��
�Dinner is ready!� Ino�s shout confirmed his interrupted question.
She grinned cheekily at him from the kitchen. She had interrupted him on purpose, but Naruto held no hard feelings. After all, it was time to eat.
Naruto sat down at the table in between Sasuke and Sakura. He was going to sit and chat with Ino, but Sasuke gave him a look that clearly stated that the blond was to sit in the seat provided by the Uchiha and nowhere else.
Naruto would have complained, but the look Sasuke was giving him was a little unnerving, so he settled for listening to his orders.
The meal in itself was nothing special if you went on looks alone. They were, after all, students, and could not afford topnotch ingredients.
It consisted of a small salad that was eaten as an appetizer, followed by hand breaded chicken fried chicken, with garlic buttered broccoli and mashed potatoes topped with cream gravy. It was country styled meal to say the least, but it definitely had to be one of the best Naruto ever had.
�Naruto... d-do you like... the meal?� Hinata�s quiet voice rose above the clattering of silverware and mild chatting.
Naruto swallowed the rather large bite of chicken he had taken. �It�s wonderful, Hinata.�
He smiled causing her to blush.
�I�m... gl�glad. I was h�hoping you would.� She looked everywhere but at the blond that was sitting across from her.
She had made this meal especially for Naruto, hoping that would appreciate it. Over the time span of today she had grown a liking for the blue-eyed boy. One could even call it a small crush.
Sasuke sat back watching the whole exchange through narrowed eyes. He knew there was a reason why he never liked the Hyuuga girl much. He always thought it was because of how the Hyuugas were connected with the Uchihas, but now he had a clear understanding of why he did not like the girl.
It irked him how she tried to flirt with Naruto, and how the blond smiled back. This was surely something that he would have to keep an eye on.
�Idiot.� he looked up when he heard the insult Sasuke always direct at him. Sasuke stared back at him, a scowl shown clearly over his face.
�Sasuke... what?� Naruto was confused. What had he done this time to anger the raven haired boy.
Sasuke just looked at him for a moment, not sure what to say. He merely wanted to redirect Naruto�s attention, but now that he had it he had no clue what to do with it.
�So what did you think of your first day?� It was all he could think of asking and thankfully Naruto seemed to take the bait. The confusion drained from his face as he opened his mouth to answer.
�It was good. I will say that some of the teachers are off their rocker. I mean Gai...� Naruto visibly flinched. �If I hear one more thing about youth I�m going to puke.�
Sasuke smiled, knowing full well what Naruto meant. Their gym teacher could be something else at times.
Sakura watched the interacting between the two boys with interest. In all the years she had known Sasuke, she had never seen him warm up to anyone like her had Naruto. It was almost as if they had been friends since they were little. It confused her to see such affection in the raven�s eyes when he looked at the blond when he thought no one else was looking.
This was a side of Sasuke she had never seen before and one she wished over and over again that he would show to her and no one else. But that was a fool�s dream, and she knew it. They could never be together and she accepted that. Then again, it did not stop her from loving the boy.
�A round of drinks anyone?� Ino began picking up plates and taking them over to the sink.
�Oh Ino... y�you don�t have to do that. I can cl�clean up.� She brushed Hinata�s words aside with the flick of her hand.
�Don�t worry about it. It my turn to do dishes anyway.� She placed them in the sink for her to do later. �Ok now for the drinks.�
Naruto was still chatting with Sasuke who just nodded his head as he listened. He had learned long ago that the blond could hold a whole conversation of his own.
�The only teacher that seems semi normal is Kurenai.� Naruto continued as Ino began placing glasses down in front of the people who still remained at the table.
Sakura had gotten up and started cleaning the dishes. Ino had disapproved in the beginning, but Sakura stated that they always helped each other. In the end, Ino relented and let Sakura do as she pleased.
�Wait till you see her when she�s mad. I think you might be changing that statement... Thank you.� Ino smiled as she put the glass down in front of Sasuke and then gave one to Naruto.
Naruto looked at it in distaste. The red liquid sloshing as he held it in his hand.
Sasuke was already drinking his is slow practiced sips. He wonder, as he watched the raven, if he would ever grow used to drink the substance as Sasuke had.
Although if he though about it, Sasuke had never had a life where he did not have to think of doing such things. He had never been human, unlike Naruto.
Sasuke was lucky in that respect. He had always known what he was and what he was to become.
Naruto, though, never had any inclination of what was to come. If someone had told him this would happen in his future, he probably would have laughed and told them they were crazy.
Then again, that was also back when he thought of vampires as nothing more than zombies that sucked blood and turned to ash in the light of the sun. Maybe that was how he got the notion that all vampires were monsters.
It was an ideal that was forced into his head by Hollywood directors, and not by the facts of real life.
Then again what facts could he have seen in the real world? To him they had always been imaginary creatures that haunted the movie screen and nightmares, but nothing more.
Now though, he had been thrust into a world he had though never existed as one of the very things he had been taught to fear. In some respects, he thought it was right to fear the creature he had become, but not all.
He stole a glance at the people around him. For now he would trust them, open his heart as much as he could for them. They were all he had.
Sasuke turned to look at him then, his face placid. For some reason Naruto felt that Sasuke was the one to thank for his new attitude towards everything.
Naruto smiled then raising his glass to Sasuke�s.
�To the unknown future.� Sasuke looked at him for a moment. Trying to decode the sudden change in the blond.
Finding nothing worth wild, he gently clashed his glass against the other.
�To the unknown future.� He repeated as both took a sip from their glasses.
He could get used to this. Naruto was sure he could, time always was good at helping with such things.
Naruto took another sip, downing the rest of the contents in his glass. It wasn�t so bad, in fact he rather liked the taste of blood; Sweet and tangy.
He could do this. He could live this life, after all he had chosen not to become a monster.
To Be Continued . . .
A/N - Ok, it�s done, finally done... well this chapter is, at least. To me it was very hard to write this part... I keep thinking I am repeating myself too much. Also I have come to the part of the fic where it�s mainly about building on Sasuke�s and Naruto�s relationship... it�s hard for me since I just want to jump in and get to the lemon. XD
So please tell me if things start to go too fast... I will start to slow down.
Well off you go then. Please review, I am a review whore. XD
