Yawn. Well I'm back and in the grove. Yawn. Well mostly anyway. I've been debating on whether or not to post this story on because I have not been getting a lot of people viewing my stories. But still I thought it would be better here than collecting cyber dust in my computer. Hopefully I'm not wrong about this.

Memories
Prologe: PastxXxThe night was quiet and still near Darkwood Manor. Crickets sang their sorrow filled songs of summers end and the woods were cast about in dreamland. Yes, it was as though the night was nothing more than a soothing black abyss.
However the night's pleasantries were cut short by a loud howling of off beat notes, seeming to come from the old manor itself.
"Oh! Yea! Another one bites the dust, another one bites-"
"Kiba! Stop all the incessant howling," a cloaked figure hissed from its perch atop the rafters in the cluttered study.
"Hay, Sasuke! Back already?" A young browned haired teen shouted from his seat next to an old computer. Swinging around to see his friend Kiba slipped out of the chair and on to the floor. "Ouch."
"Yes," Sasuke said, gliding down from the rafters to a plush red velvet chair in the corner of the room and settling down on to it. "And you don't need to yell when someone is less than ten feet from you."
"I'm not yelling!" Sasuke sighed and walked over to Kiba. Reaching out a pale ivory hand Sasuke yanked the headphones from the dog like boy's ears. With the headphones hanging limply in his hands, still blaring music, Sasuke stated, "Yes, you were."
Dropping the headphones Sasuke glided back to the red chair and sighed once more before sitting down. Silence. A small sound of rustling paper was heard near the computer before a hand came to rest upon Sasuke's shoulder.
"Man, you ok?" Kiba asked slowly.
Sasuke looked up to his friend then down to his upturned hands. Bringing them to his face Sasuke rested his head upon them.
"Kiba, it has been months and we still have not found any trace of a criminal being sentenced to death by the humans. If this keeps up I will have choice but to feed from the innocent… and I have no intention of doing that."
Kiba's normally bright face darkened. How could his friend possibly give up so easily? He was never one to give up and he would not let his friend do so either.
Kiba tightened his grip on Sasuke's shoulder, stretching the cloak out a bit. He turned his unresponsive friend to face him. Dragging Sasuke up, he pulled their faces so close that his breath fanned out over Sasuke's pale features.
"Dude, I'll say this once, and only once. You are not going to be like him. You've done too damn much to." Kiba said, slowly releasing his death grip on the cloak. "Okay?"
Snapping back to reality Sasuke hissed at Kiba drawing away from his friend.
"Never mention him again. Never." With that Sasuke turned and waltzed out of the study, leaving a dazed Kiba in his wake.
Walking through the manor Sasuke reflected on what he had done. He was sure Kiba didn't mean to anger him. The poor boy was just brain-dead like that. Sometimes Sasuke wondered if Kiba's parents had dropped him on his head for the fun of it. (1)
Sasuke shrugged it off and stopped in front of the wall window on the second floor, briefly wondering when he had gotten there. Looking up at the moonless sky Sasuke reached back in to his old memories. Of a time when he was human; the night when it all had happened.

Dusk was coming close as Sasuke trudged up the long pathway that (eventually) led up to the magnificent Uchiha Manor. He was just returning home from his practice when he caught sight of something in the road up ahead. It looked like someone had left a sack leaning against a tree.
Curiosity filled the young Uchiha as he approached the dark figure. However the closer he got, the more he could feel as though he knew the figure, but he could also feel a sense of dread lingering there as well.
Realization dawned on Sasuke suddenly as he shouted for the figure.
"Uncle? Uncle, is that you?" Sasuke asked as he closed the remaining distance between them. "Uncle, did you have one too many drinks again?"
Sasuke laughed gently raping his Uncle on the shoulder causing the body to fall to the ground. Startled, he kneeled to the ground, gently taking his uncle's body in his arms. Turning him over Sasuke gasped and dropped the body as though he had been burned.
His uncle was pale as a sheet, his eyes wide with unseen terror. Who could have done this to him? Who?
Suddenly Sasuke thought about his home, his parents. Oh, no.
Sasuke jumped to his feet and took off. Who ever had done this might be heading for his home.
Sasuke ran with all his might rounding corners with a speed humans only dreamed of. However the closer he got to his home the stronger the feeling of despair wrapped itself around his heart.
Seeing his home up ahead Sasuke slowed down, not wanting to run head long in to whatever danger lay in wait there. Walking now, Sasuke could hear the silence of the forest around his home. It was quiet, like the animals knew the danger that Sasuke was to face and taking cover.
Sasuke walked to the front door and gently took hold of the knob. Holding his breath he slowly pushed open the door, making it creek only once.
The house was as black as pitch, as if the inside were nothing but a black hole. Stepping in to the dark, Sasuke stood for a minute letting his eyes get use to the dim light. There was nothing wrong on the surface, but what about whatever lay in wait deep within the house?
With fear gripping at his heart, Sasuke slowly walked through the dim halls of the house. As he rounded the corner to the main sitting room he saw something that would change him forever.
There on the oak floor lay his father just as white as his uncle had been. Sasuke looked up to see his mother crying over his father's corps begging the dark figure over her to explain himself.
Sasuke gasped as his eyes trained in on the black figure, however that brought unwanted attention upon him. After that every thing became a blur. His mother yelling at him to run as the figure loomed over her preparing to take her life.
Running, yes, he remembered running for his life even though he knew the chance of getting away was slim to none. Then a sharp pain hit him and darkness over took his vision.

The next thing he knew he was alone and forever cursed to the dark. He was a vampire and that was it. But he would never forget that face. That face that had killed his loved ones and turned him in to a monster.
A soft whining brought Sasuke back to the real world. It was Akamaru, Kiba's pack mate as he called him. The brown and white monster sized dog whimpered again nudging Sasuke with his muzzle. Sasuke sighed and laid his hand on top of his head, feeling himself calm slightly with Akamaru there. Unlike Kiba, Akamaru knew when to be a quiet companion.
Sasuke turned back to the window staring out in to the moonless night once more. His hand left Akamaru's head to touch the frosted pane of the window.
"Yes, I will never be like him."

Well that's it for now please review. If I don't get at least five reviews I might just delete it (though I hope not to.) And can anyone guess whom it is that did all that stuff to Sasuke? Cyber cookies for all that review.
