Hey guys and girls.

Welcome back to a new chapter of Grancrest Of A Half Blood Vampire.

So the last place we left off was where Naruto was now ruling over a group of 1000 people. At first things were fine. But then came the random attacks to their animals. When they found out it was their lord who was a half vampire. They chose to keep him as their lord.

He had done a lot to keep them safe. It was only natural for them to want to stay with the strong. Naruto stayed with them and continued to defend them. When they offered human blood. Naruto denied the offer. No matter how loud his vampire side screamed at him to drink human blood. Naruto made a vow to his father to never drink human blood.

But it wasn't long as Siluca and Irvin found out about the half vampire running the show in the nearby village.

After having Aishela engaged in combat with him, they learnt he was the child chosen by the gods.

As well, some of the suggestions posted in reviews will not happen.

I don't plan on breaking true love.

Siluca will stay with Theo. Marrine will stay with Alexis and Margaret will go to Villar. Sorry.

What will happen to Naruto?

Will he honor his vow? Or will he succumb to the thirst?

Enjoy.

Disclaimers: I own nothing.

Chapter 3: An Alliance.

With everyone now arriving at the mansion, Naruto pushed the doors open as a maid was seen holding a glass of animal blood on a tray as she bowed to him.

"Welcome home, my lord." she said in submission.

"Great to be home." stated Naruto taking the glass and sipping the contents.

The group was soon lead to a lounge like area. Couches were placed to offer maximum comfort. Maids and butlers awaited for any orders given.

Sitting down with Theo, Siluca and Aishela sitting opposite him, Naruto sipped the blood again before setting the glass down.

"Can I get you anything?" asked the half vampire.

"I'll take a wine please." asked Siluca.

"Beer." stated Aishela.

"I'll just have a water." said Theo.

Waving his hand, a butler bowed to Naruto as he left the room to prepare the drinks.

"So, apart from your little Valkyrie here trying to skewer me earlier. I suspect you have something you wish to tell me." stated Naruto looking to them with a stern look.

"I never thought I'd be meeting the rumored child of the gods." marveled Silcua.

"Don't call me that please. First demerit." growled Naruto with his eyes flashing red with a show of suppressed rage.

"Did I offend you?" asked Silcua.

"A little." was Naruto's only response calming down.

This time, Theo stepped in.

"Naruto. Please join your power with ours. We need all the help we can get. The darkness continues to tighten around this world. And we must stop it." begged Theo.

"Second demerit." hissed Naruto showing two fingers. "When asking for someone's help. Don't sound like you're desperate. Have some dignity. Seriously. You're a Baron aren't you? Have some pride."

Naruto at that moment, was disgusted. Even though he knew of Crests and whatnot. He himself didn't possess one. He would've. But seeing that his mother is a Vampire, he doesn't have one. And his father also never had one. But he did know how to have class and how to conduct oneself. And Theo's attitude and way of butt-kissing and whining was really annoying.

At that moment, Siluca did the one thing that surprised even Naruto. The last time he saw her do this was not even 30 minutes ago. Bowing with her head on the ground in a groveling position, Siluca ensured to give Naruto the utmost respect.

"Child of the gods. No, Naruto Bloodborne. I beg you. Please help us in our time of need. We need all the help we can get combatting the era of chaos. We're at a huge disadvantage. Monsters are running amock amongst the nations and our people are either frightened or dead. We have little to offer you at this time. But if you help us. We will ensure you are well rewarded." begged Siluca showing small signs of tears.

Naruto sat there. Paralyzed by what this young woman had just done. Lowering his head in thought, Naruto remembered the vow he made. Getting up from his seat after a few minutes as their drinks came in, Naruto slowly unbottened his shirt.

Aishela and Theo both gasped making Siluca look up and then gasp herself. Right in the centre of his chest was a nasty burn mark. It was in the shape of diamond. Scarred skin decorated the area of the burn.

"When I was young. I witnessed my father be killed while I ran to hide. After the ones who did the deed left. I made a vow. That I will stop at nothing to ensure the ones who did this to me will lay dead at my feet. Even if it costs me my life." stated Naruto buttoning his shirt up.

"I will offer you my aid. If it brings me closer to finding the ones who killed my parents. I will be willing to help you."

Theo dropped to his knee and bowed to Naruto.

"I thank you."

"You must be exhausted. Please. Feel free to relax within my home. Enjoy your time here." said Naruto walking out the room.

A solemn silence hung over the three left in the room. But Aishela was the one who felt more awkward about the matter. One thing left her with so many questions. Just what had Naruto been through? What drove him to such lengths to take burning wood and brand his own body?

She had to know.

Night soon fell over the land and Aishela was still left awake in her bed provided to her by Naruto. The words he said still ringing in her head. Choosing to go outside for a walk, she got out the bed and headed outside. There she found Naruto. His sword in his hands while he was seen training.

"Midnight Slice!" cried Naruto swinging the katana.

A powerful wave of unholy energy lept from the sword and vaporized a nearby tree after connecting with it. Sheathing the sword, Naruto kept his back to her.

"Shouldn't you be in bed?" asked Naruto.

"What about you as well?" shot back Aishela.

"Hm, touche. Getting some training in. Must stay in top condition." was Naruto's only reply grabbing a cloth and rubbing his face from the sweat.

Aishela looked to the side as Naruto put the cloth down and drew his katana again and returned to his training. At that moment, Aishela finally spoke.

"About what happened today..." she trailed.

"Don't worry. I've already forgotten about it." said Naruto stopping his training and looking to the sky.

"My father would often tell me. Never look at another person differently. You don't know the struggles and demons they have to face. Look at yourself. You see how different you are? Why should you belittle someone whose different when you are different yourself?"

"Strong words." stated Aishela sitting on the grass.

"I've seen first hand what it's like to be hated. I've been on the receiving end of that hatred. Countless times. Walking around in the capital and sometimes through villages. Dhampirs (A.N. The official name of a half Vampire half Human) are looked down upon in society. I'm more hated than any other Dhampir. Humans despise me. Vampires loathe me. They call me an abomination. The humans hate me because the mere thought of a Vampire and a Human Priest having a child is considered a breach of their religion. And the Vampires loathe me because aristocrats always want their bloodlines to remain pure and strong." stated Naruto sitting down and looking to his hands before gritting his teeth in rage.

"I've hated this blood of mine. Yes half of it can help people. Half of it is there to preserve the smiles of people. But it is eclipsed by my other half. Every year, every month, every week, every day, every hour, every minute and every second. I hunger. My Vampire blood screams at me, haunts me to feed from a human. Just by looking at you right now...It's extremely hard for me to keep myself in check and not attack you to feed my insatiable hunger for blood. But I made a vow to my father that I will never feed on a human."

Aishela lowered her head. She too had been mocked when she was younger. But she never lost anything. Yes she was an orphan not knowing who her parents were. But atleast she had Siluca there for her. Naruto had no one. He was forced to watch his father be killed while he ran and hid. Such a thing was unbecoming of a child. And then there was the love/hate relationship he had with himself. He loved his blood because it had the abilities to help people. But it had a darker side as the other half was used to kill and harm.

"Your father must've been a good man." said Aishela softly. Not wanting to pry into old wounds.

"My father wanted the best for me. He wanted me to see my Vampire heritage as a gift. But how can I see it as one when all I can do with it is hurt people?" snarled Naruto. "Yes it is strong. Giving me the strength to protect. But everytime I use it. I hunger for blood."

Aishela unconsciensely looked to the vials of blood Naruto had strapped to his waist. Their crimson liquid shining in the pale moonlight.

"Animal blood gives me the boost and sates my hunger. But it only partially sates my hunger and doesn't give me the boost human blood would."

Aishela looked away. Naruto clearly had been through so much. He was truly lucky to be sane at this point.

"But there is one good thing I can say about my Vampire blood." stated Naruto making Aishela turn to face him. "I'm grateful that with it I have survived this long. Countless times I've been at Death's Door. Without my Vampire blood. I'd have died countless times. I'm not immortal like a Vampire. But I have achieved something called Longevity. For instance. As long as my body remains as it is. I can return to it."

"D-Does that mean? You can do Necromancy?" asked Aishela rather shocked.

Naruto merely shook his head.

"I can use Blood Magic. One of the Dark Arts. But not Necromancy. I can push my soul out of my body. When I do that, I can possess anything. But possessing and controlling are two different things. For instance, if I wanted to possess you, I can, but you are still in control of your body. I'll just be hitch-hiking if you wish to call it that. But if it were a corpse. I can control it. But I must be careful. Should I the body I'm possessing be killed or destroyed. Or have my body stabbed through the heart. I will die for good. I think of this ability as a sort of saving grace."

"But how do you do it?" asked Aishela intrigued by this conversation with the Dhampir.

"I do it through Blood Magic attacks. Remember when I attacked you with Blood Spear?"

Aishela just nodded her head.

"When one of my attacks pierce you. I leave some of my blood in your body. This is called Life Link. Meaning I can possess your body if I wish to. This also allows me to use another ability. Blood Puppet." said Naruto with Aishela putting the pieces together.

"And with that you can make an enemy an ally by making them fight for you." she stated with Naruto nodding his head before getting up.

"Well. I'm off to bed. Good night." said Naruto heading inside leaving Aishela to her own musings.

The next day.

Siluca and the group woke up and found Naruto nowhere to be found. Thinking he was outside, she along with the others that slept in the house walked out to the front door. When they opened the door, they found Naruto standing there with his entire population behind him as well.

"What the...?" was all Theo could say as he looked to everyone while focusing back onto Naruto who stood in the very front.

"What is the meaning of this?" asked Siluca walking to be infront of the Dhampir.

"I've considered the offer you have placed to me yesterday." began Naruto. "I will offer my aid in this fight. If it gets me closer to the bastards that ruined my life. I will aid you. I don't feel safe leaving my people unprotected. So we will all be going with you."

Theo merely smiled as he walked to Naruto and held out a hand to shake.

"You have my thanks, Lord Bloodborne." stated the young Baron.

"Likewise. But remember, when this mess is done. I will return here again to rule my people." stated Naruto shaking the offered hand.

"I can live with that." agreed Theo.

And scene.

Sorry it took so long for this chapter.

Was busy with a few things.

So we have now seen what Naruto has to deal with. How he hates his blood but is also thankful for it. How his past failures constantly loom over his head. How his Vampire side constantly haunts him to feed.

With Naruto now agreeing to enter an alliance with Theo, things will get interesting.

What will happen now?

As well, I will state in the next chapter why Naruto has the surname, Bloodborne.

Chapter 4: First Step.

Coming soon.

Thank you for reading.
