…:Night 2:…

Uchiha Itachi stared out of his room window. The sun was almost setting. The clouds were painted by the remaining radiance into beautiful colours. The vampire let his mind drifted off to the incident the night before as he held the chess piece in between his slender fingers.

"Sasuke…" His gaze was at the chess piece but his mind was elsewhere. Images of the boy's sleeping figure in his arms, the warmth radiated by the young lad as he slept soundly in the vampire's arms flooded the Itachi's mind. He could still remember Sasuke's scent vividly. It was so sweet that it was unforgivable. It almost drove the vampire crazy. Oh, he couldn't count the times where he almost gave in to his utmost desire. 'Just one sip. Just one sip.' The words kept repeating in his head and it was unbearable.

But of course, he did not give in. He satiated himself with a kiss instead, and it was still pleasurable. Patience is a must for the pureblood. Oh, he could not be hasty. Itachi quickly cut off his thoughts. The mere thought of Sasuke was enough to make him go mad. Shifting his attention towards the chess piece in hand; the vampire placed it down onto the board.

"Soon, Sasuke. It'll be soon till I'll take you into my arms again, my…" Itachi's orbs had turned red and he let his sentence trailed off without finishing it. Just then, a knock on his bedroom door could be heard, yet Itachi did not even look up. "Come in." He merely said.

A blond figure trailed along by a redheaded one entered the room. It was Deidara and Sasori. Sasori had something which seemed like a paper with him. With his usual Cheshire grin, Deidara began to speak, "Itachi-sama, I have something to request un."

Before he could say anymore, the pureblood had already set his gaze on the blond vampire's face, reading his expression. Then, his voice came out monotone, "What is it again? You want to throw a party for your successful art exhibition again?" He tapped his fingers against his chessboard and tilted his head slightly sideways, waiting for an answer.

"No un." Deidara bit his lips. Damn, he had not liked the raven, but being a noble it was a necessity to be respectful to a pureblood. His Cheshire grin not faltering, the blond then continued, "Well, it will be my birthday tomorrow, so I was asking if I could throw a party un." He flung his hands in mid-air, "And of course, I'll invite Sasuke-san." Deidara had cleverly used that name, knowing that it would result in approval for almost everything requested.

Itachi's brows seemed to raise a slight fraction. Sasori who stood next to his blond lover took a glance at Itachi. Oh, the redhead already knew the result of this conversation. Yet it was still amusing to see Itachi trying to keep a cool composure at the mention of Sasuke's name. It made Sasori pondered, 'What's so special about that boy?'

Itachi gave out a small sigh and signaled the blond to come closer. Deidara beaming even more than before, quickly snatched the paper from Sasori which seemed to be an approval form and approached the pureblood. He handed the form to Itachi. The pureblood vampire took out his pen and signed it.

Deidara's grin grew wider and he quickly said a 'thank you' before exiting the room along with his redheaded lover. The pureblood's turned towards the window as he sat, staring at the full moon.

The lights were still on in the chairman's office, which was a rare sight since Hatake Kakashi wasn't one who would work at this time of the day. Normally at times like these, the masked-man would be sitting in a couch in the private chambers watching the Icha-Icha paradise series. It was already 10 o'clock yet the chairman did not have any dinner yet, thanks to a certain pureblood vampire who seemed to have some very important things to discuss with him.

So, the poor chairman had to skip dinner and even his most beloved series to discuss this seemingly important issue with Uchiha Itachi. The raven was seated across the table from Kakashi and his usual blood-red eyes seemed to be void of expression.

"Separate him from the others." The pureblood's velvety voice showed no hints of venom, no hidden meanings behind it. He was merely stating his opinion. The raven waited for a respond, his gaze never leaving the chairman's face.

At times like these, Hatake Kakashi couldn't have been more relieved to have covered his face with a mask. It made him seem more…protected from the gaze of those ruby-red eyes – the eyes that seemed to be able to pierce through one's soul; to be able to read through your every movements; every thoughts in your head.

Yet with that seemingly protection, the chairman could still feel his mind invaded. His thoughts lay out like an open-book in front of the vampire. It was unpleasant. Yet, Kakashi wasn't an ordinary person either. To hide something as mere as his thoughts were something he – Hatake Kakashi was still able to do. Well, they don't call him a legend for nothing.

The silver-haired man smiled, it wasn't really obvious due to the cloth that was covering his mouth, but one could still know from seeing the crumpled up cloth and the eye which was still visible.

"Uchiha-san." The chairman's tone of voice changed from his usual bubbly ones to a serious one. "Just give me more time."

"We are running out of time." Itachi replied. "It'll be too late." He stood up and turned on his heels. "Remember that, Hatake-san. We need to take measurements. Lives are at stake here."

Kakashi sighed. "I know." He closed his eyes. "I can feel that he's slowly awakening too." He placed a hand over his left eye which was covered with the cloth mask. It was throbbing slightly.

"I'll trust the matters to you then, chairman." The pureblood then exited the room, closing the door behind him with a soft click. He strolled along the dark corridors, eyes closed as thoughts occupied his mind. His ears still picked out the sounds of the surrounding. There was noise of people talking, it was soft at first, and then grew loud all of a sudden. The incessant talk was coming from the stairs just around the corner.

It was recognizable to the pureblood vampire, seeing that he had heard the voice for quite a few times. Red eyes shot open as he identified the two figures approaching from the corner. He couldn't have missed them. The one who was unremittingly talking didn't seem to notice him.

The pureblood was met with coal dark eyes staring at him. The lights were not on but the vampire could see those eyes clearly. It was natural to be able to see in the dark for a vampire. The owner of those coal-black eyes had stopped in his tracks, making the one who was talking stopped too.

"What is it, Sasuke-teme?" Questioned the blond boy as he turned towards his surrounding. He spotted the taller raven in the moonlight which shone through the glass windows. "Oh…"

"Sasuke." The velvety voice left the vampire's lips and a small smile could be seen on his face. "What brings you here?"

"We are here to see the chairman." Replied the younger raven quickly.

"Ah, I see…" Nodded the pureblood as he approached the boys. The moon had not shone that particular space and it was rather dark, still Sasuke could make out the vampire's silhouette.

The familiar gesture the pureblood pulled sent Sasuke stumbling a few steps backwards. The younger raven rubbed the spot on his own forehead which Itachi had poked. He frowned as the vampire smiled slightly.

"Well, see you later Sasuke." Itachi turned for a while and eyed Naruto with an odd look, which surprised the blond. Then without saying anything, he turned the corner and walked down the stairs.

For a few moments, the younger raven stood frozen on the spot before his blond friend shook him which snapped him out of his temporary trance. Naruto seemed to have a puzzled look, "Ne Sasuke? Did I have something on my face?" He questioned. Obviously affected by the odd look the pureblood vampire had given him earlier.

Just as Sasuke was about to say something, the door to the chairman's office burst open and Hatake Kakashi appeared. "Ah! Sasuke, Naruto." He waved at them. "Sorry that I am late for dinner, you see…I was trying to chase the cat who stole the fish and I finally caught it here." He continued, "Anyways, did you guys leave anything for me? I'm starving."

"That's obviously a lie!" Naruto pointed accusingly, "I don't see a cat anywhere! And why the hell are you even here?!"

Kakashi shook the blond boy off with his hand gesture. "My, my. Let's forget about that, anyways, are there any leftovers for me?"

Naruto immediately pointed towards Sasuke. "Why don't you ask him? He even ate my share of dinner!" Blue eyes narrowed towards the raven who stood there with both hands in the pockets of his pants.

"That's really cold." Said the silver-haired man with a sigh. His mood suddenly took a change and he was smiling suddenly, "Hey, want to join me for Icha-Icha paradise the series? I've recorded it on tape." Offered the masked-man.

"No thanks." Sasuke replied as he turned on his heels. "Naruto, I told you he would be fine." Then he walked off.

"Hey! Wait for me!" Naruto too turned and chase after his dark-haired friend, leaving Kakashi all alone.

As soon as the two were gone, the carefree mask on the chairman's face dropped and his visible eye was readably cold. 'There isn't much time left huh?' The silver-haired thought, as he too left the place.

The two boys had gone back to their shared room. Naruto seemed to be his usual self as he hummed a song when he prepared himself for bed. It was really quiet because all the day class students have gone back home during the weekends. The only sound that could be heard was the sound of the running tap and Naruto's humming. Sasuke lay on his bed and merely stared at the ceiling.

He was wide awake due to the long hours of sleep. He remembered the meeting with the pureblood vampire vividly – The conversations between them…and even the kiss which was stolen from him. The boy's face flushed red as he remembered the kiss. The older male must have thought that he was already asleep at that moment. Yes, he was dead tired, but not to the point that he couldn't feel anything around him.

Itachi had kissed him, and he had let the older male do so, without as much as a fight. He touched his lips gingerly and a thought came over him all of a sudden. Fuck! He was acting like a love-struck maiden. He quickly sat up and shook the thoughts off his head.

'It was nothing but a kiss. It was just a freaking kiss. It had not meant anything.' He assured himself. Well, he used to kiss Naruto once… though, it was an accident. The recollection of that small accident had made the raven annoyed. He had nearly killed the blond if Iruka-sensei hadn't dragged him off.

CLANG! A loud noise could be heard coming from the bathroom. Sasuke shot up from his daze and turned towards the source of noise. "What's wrong, Dobe?" He questioned. There wasn't any reply. Sasuke rolled his eyes, "What the hell?!" He hopped off his bed and walked towards the bathroom. "I swear I'm gonna kill you if you tried any pranks on me." Saying this, he turned the doorknob and the door clicked open. It wasn't locked.

Red eyes met him and instantly the raven froze. What the hell happened? Sasuke's mind tried to grasp the situation, but nothing seemed to make sense. Still, something at the back of his mind screamed 'RUN', yet he stood there, frozen on spot.

"Naruto?"

A roar left the blond boy and in a flash he gripped onto Sasuke's wrist. The raven immediately struggled to get free but to no avail. The grip was too strong. His mind went blank when he felt a sharp pain on his neck. He trashed about – a normal reaction for a victim caught by its prey.

"Naruto!" He screamed his friend's name. The pain on his neck subsided suddenly and the grip on him loosened. Sasuke fell forward, his knees hitting the floor. Gasping for air, the raven turned and looked at his blond friend.

Confused blue eyes met him this time. "Sa…su…ke?" With a hand over his mouth, Naruto touched his blood stained lips and he shivered. He took a step backwards and his back hit the bathroom wall.

"So, you've finally fallen to the bloodlust of a beast, Uzumaki Naruto?" A deep voice had spoken. It was void of emotion and Sasuke could recognize it. The boy looked up to meet those blood red eyes which wasn't fixated at him but instead at his blond friend.

'Naruto is a vampire?' A realization hit Sasuke. 'How can it be? It doesn't make sense…' The boy quickly steadied himself as he stood up. He stared at those blood-red eyes and a sudden fear bit onto him. It was those eyes from 16 years ago…when Itachi had saved him from that E-level vampire – those very eyes with murderous intent. Naruto was going to get killed…

I'll also show you a sweet dream
