This is my second story "Vampire's Kiss". It's my first shonen-ai/yaoi story that I have ever written, and I am quite nervous about how well it will do with other people. I am mostly writing this for one of my yaoi obsessed friends who wanted me to write SasuNaru. For lack of better things to do, I wrote this. So read and enjoy the story.

LET ME WARN YOU. ANY CHARACTER BASHING IS THERE FOR A REASON AND FOR THE PLOTLINE. DON'T JUDGE UNTIL YOU READ IT ALL!

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto . . . legally.

(CURRENTLY UNDER REVISION! Hopefully it's better than before)


The hard plastic chair creaked under Naruto's weight as he sat in front of the principal's desk for the fifth time that week. He was quite sure the plastic had molded to his backside with his frequent visits. Honestly, he saw no reason to be there. It was not the first time he played a prank on the health teacher, Hatake, Kakashi. Truthfully, at this point the man should be expecting them.

"Naruto, do you have anything to say to defend yourself?" the blonde-haired principal asked, knowing she was going to receive a smartass remark before she even asked. Tsunade was attractive for a woman in her late fifties, there were no wrinkles in sight and her large breasts seemed as perky as they were thirty years ago. Her brown eyes held a no nonsense attitude that scared students into obeying her most of the time. Naruto was one of the few who knew she was a softie way deep down. However, many never succeeded in getting that close as she had a violent temper that often discouraged people from trying.

The teen ran his hand through his blonde locks only to have them fall back into place. He smiled his infamous grin and answered, "I don't see what the problem is. It was a simple joke. No harm done."

Tsunade's hazel eyes narrowed with irritation. She recalled stepping into the classroom to see the young teacher strung upside down by his ankle, covered in green paint. "Stringing him up like that wasn't harmless. He could have seriously hurt himself. Do I have to remind you again that you're not a ninja?"

Naruto shrugged, pulling out a cigarette from his black uniform pants and bringing it to his lips to hide a growing smile. He ignored Tsunade's threatening look and proceeded to search for a lighter. "No, but you have to admit it was pretty cool," he smirked. "And honestly, was the grade book thing really that bad? Would any of the other students actually care?"

Tsunade reached over the large mahogany desk and snatched the cancer stick right from his mouth, a vein throbbing on her forehead and threatening to burst. "For the students trying to graduate, yes, they would care."

"Even after being forced to read that perverted thing he calls a book and write a book report on it?" His grin widened. "I'm pretty sure that scarred them for life. I should know. The old man had me edit it when he wrote the stupid thing," he muttered the last bit to himself. That had been a long four months and the worst summer vacation of his life.

"I . . . uh." She hated whenever Naruto had a valid point excusing his troublemaking. "I hate you so much sometimes."

"Love you too, Baa-chan," Naruto's smirk turned into a bright smile almost feigning innocence.

Tsunade rolled her eyes at Naruto's comments and sighed wearily. "This has got to stop, Naruto. You already have the most warnings and suspensions in school. I would have expelled you by now if it wasn't for Minato. If this continues, I can't guarantee that I can keep you here for much longer."

"And who said I wanted to stay at this stupid school?" he snapped. With much less heat, he added, "Besides, it is not like I really knew him." Naruto's smile had completely dropped.

The older woman's eyes softened. Leaning back in her overly plush chair, Tsunade took a deep breath and eased off the aggressive attitude. She couldn't back Naruto into a corner. It always backfired badly. She shouldn't have brought up Minato. Naruto just seemed to shut down when she did. Ever since the police found and brought back Minato's body...

She rubbed her eyes. "Return the grade books, and I'll let you off with another warning, Naruto. Your pranks have been a lot worse than this, but next time it's another suspension."

That was the only answer he needed. Naruto stood up, the chair forced back from the sudden movement, with his usual grin slapped across his face. "Thanks, Baa-chan! See you at dinner." He quickly picked up his bag from beside the chair and turned to leave just as the bell rang, signaling the beginning of lunch.

"Don't call me that! And tell that dirty old man to clean up his house once in a while."

"I'll tell him, but it doesn't mean he'll do it." Naruto ran out of the office, bumping into the school slut, Sakura. Naruto cringed at his own thinking and made a mental note to revise the previous thought. She really wasn't that bad. She just had a reputation. One he was kind of hoping was true. He was known as the cities number one menace. He liked being a punk. He got to act tough, get into fights once in a while, and play pranks. He was even feared in a few other schools from some of the more violent fights he had gotten into his first year. Given his reputation, everyone was always surprised to find out he was a virgin. The only one among all his friends. And they taunted him about it regularly.

Sakura fell to the ground, and Naruto tried not to peek under her skirt when she did. "Watch where you're going, you assho─, oh Naruto-kun! What a pleasant surprise." It took a bit more effort not to go back to thinking bad of her. Naruto hid a shudder as she changed personalities right in front of him. He was dating her. He had to be pleasant until he got laid.

"Hey, Sakura-chan! What's up?"

"I was wondering if that date for this Saturday was still on." She gave a cute smile loaded with fake sugary goodness. Naruto almost wanted to cringe. He used to have a huge crush on her in grade school. He was having trouble remembering why now. She only started paying attention to him recently. He had his suspicions of course, but like he said, he was trying to be more positive about her sudden interest.

"Yeah, of course." Naruto watched as the girl giggled. She was slightly shorter than him, and had dark black hair with pink highlights, going against the school dress code, but the teachers didn't seem to mind. Well, their class specifically didn't seem to mind. His class was filled with a bunch of oddballs with students of all sorts of peculiarities. They were often called troublemakers as a result and was the class the rest of the school tended to avoid. It didn't make much sense considering how smart most of his classmates were. He never complained though. He liked his class even if the rest of the school didn't. It was never boring, that was for sure.

"Great, can't wait 'til then. See you later, Naruto-kun." She smiled one last time and practically skipped out of the office. A sigh escaped him as the pink whirlwind known as Sakura was out of view, giving him a chance to compose himself before he too left the main office.

The loud chatter of students filled the hall as they all made their way to the cafeteria, neighboring classrooms, or the snack shop. Even as each student, the ones not from his class 3-E, hurried to get to their destination, they always stayed out of his way. They all feared him even before he gave them a reason to. He never understood why, but at moments like these, it was convenient. He got to his shoe locker with ease and was not a bit surprised when he saw his rivals waiting for him. His day was just getting better and better.

"Hello, dickless."

"Hello, Sai. I see you are as kind as ever." Naruto noted that the teen was once again not in his school uniform and instead wore leather pants and what seemed to be a belly shirt. "And very flamboyant might I add." He was sure some teacher somewhere was having a heart attack as strict as the school dress code was.

The boy nodded his head in acknowledgement, neither agreeing nor disagreeing with Naruto's opinion. His pale skin looked kind of sickly in the florescent lights. Naruto wondered if he was sick. He often missed school a lot, and the teachers for class 3-E never questioned it or asked where he disappeared to. Any concerns he might have had went out the window with the boy's next comment. "Yet I have still gotten laid, so what's your excuse?"

Naruto flushed in embarrassment. Why didn't people leave him alone about that!"So what if I'm a virgin! Is there a problem with that?! Everyone knows it already, so I might as well scream it! I AM A VIRGIN!"

All movements and chatter around them stopped, soon followed by giggles and whispers. Naruto, realizing his mistake, flushed a darker shade of red. He had not meant to draw in everyone's attention. Now everyone would definitely know if high school gossip had anything to say about it.

"That's very nice to know, Uzumaki. Anything else you would like to tell us?" A third year with long dark brown hair and pale lavender eyes walked up to them with a cocky smile pulling at his lips. Neji Hyuuga. A prodigy in everything. Especially in being a complete jerk. Naruto still remembered the time he had made his younger cousin, Hinata, run off crying after saying how useless she was when they were kids. Neji had pissed him off every day since.

"No, thank you. I'm fine. Unless you want to tell us something yourself," Naruto glared at Neji.

"Kind of you to offer an invitation for me to open up, but I don't want you to use it against me one day. I wouldn't want to end up like your father."

"Neji," Naruto growled out, clenching and unclenching his fist by his side.

"Come on, Uzumaki, we all know you are the one who drove your father to suicide."

"Take that back, Hyuuga," anger flashed across his azure eyes.

"Why? Tsunade-sama won't help you, and your father definitely won't."

"Why you son of a bitch!" Naruto hand gripped Neji's throat and slammed him against the lockers. He kept him pinned there with that one hand, squeezing whenever he tried to move. "I swear I'm going to kill you this time." Naruto's voice grew rough as his blue eyes turned red.

Neji did not show any reaction to Naruto's rough behavior. Neji was the only one brave enough to cross Naruto. Yet, Naruto could the fear behind his eyes. It was always there when he lost control, when he felt power surging through him. He wanted to squeeze tighter, to heighten that fear, and he felt his hand responding.

"Uzumaki, let him go." Naruto felt a strong hand on his shoulder. He didn't have to look to know that the hand belonged to a certain red head. The voice was soft, a bit gruff, and held a quiet authority that warned people not to piss him off. "He's not worth it."

"Gaara, he-"

"I know what he said, but you know that you can't." Gaara leaned in and whispered into Naruto's ear. "Jiraiya can't keep you here if you keep getting into fights at school. Wait until later, off school grounds."

It took a moment, but Naruto, with a bit of hesitation, let go of Neji and gave a small smirk of satisfaction as Neji coughed from lack of air.

"I guess that means that you won't take us up on our dare then," Neji gasped out as he tried to regain control of his breathing.

"What dare?" Kiba, a shaggy haired teen who was also one of Naruto's best friends, walked up to them with mild curiosity.

"Nara, explain it to them," Neji looked at Kiba if only to acknowledge that he was there.

"So troublesome," another boy, Nara, Shikamaru, who Naruto kind of liked for his laid back attitude, leaned against the lockers not that far from Neji and yawned. "Two nights ago a rival gang entered the abandoned mansion at the top of the hill just outside of town and didn't return until today when the police found their corpses in a cemetery the next town over. No one knows how they died or how they got there.

"The dare is for you and one other person to go into that house and stay there for one night inside it. Of course you have to take a video camera inside the house to prove it. If you accept the dare and do not stay the whole night, you have to give up your title as toughest punk to Neji. If you do stay, it boosts your reputation. If you don't do the dare at all, people will question you. If you accept, two of our guys will stand guard somewhere nearby out of sight. Choice is yours, yada, yada, yada, I believe you get the point," Nara finished lazily watching the ceiling.

"So Uzumaki, will you do the dare?" Neji had regained his composure by the time Shikamaru had finished. He was once again standing, acting as if he hadn't been strangled a moment before, though a hand print was forming around his neck.

"On one condition," Naruto's eyes narrowed.

"What would that be?

"You buy me ramen for the next month if I win."

Giving it a moment of thought, Neji stuck out his hand. "Deal." Naruto accepted the hand quickly as they both tried to squeeze the life out of each other.

"He has no idea there is going to be a hole in his wallet for the next month, does he?" Kiba smirked.

"No, he doesn't. I almost want to say 'poor soul' . . . almost," Gaara glanced at Neji who glanced quickly back at Gaara.

"See you at midnight tonight, Uzumaki."

Naruto smirked. "Tonight then, Hyuuga."
