The Magic of the Dance

Chapter One

The meeting

The night air is warm…humid and sticky.

One of those muggy summer nights where all you would like is for it to rain. The night lights of the city seem to just add to the feeling of oppression. The air tonight seems to weigh a person down and makes it difficult to breath.

Not that I mind…I haven't breathed in over one thousand years. You might be wondering how I can be talking to you like this but I am a vampire. Yes an honest to God vampire.

I was born a vampire and now you might be wondering how I havetaken a breath…well when a vampire is born it takes one breath. The only breath they as born vampires ever need. We suck in one breath and then we let it out. After which we no longer need to do such a thing again.

It makes things very convenient…not having to worry about our breath. It makes born vampires a formable predator. For without breath we don't get tired and we don't give our position away. Which can be a very good thing when it comes to hunting; and yes we do hunt humans but we also hunt others of our kind who happen to be our enemies for when you live a long time you can accumulate a lot of enemies.

Tonight is my night for patrols…I guess I should explain. When the main branches of vampires or at least born vampires live in a particular city…we feel it is our duty to take care of it.

But before I get to that I should tell you about the main branches or as we call them…covens. There is mine which is known as the Hyuga, there is the Uchiha, there is the Aburame, there is the Inuzuka and a couple other lesser covens which we as the aristocrat class don't really worry ourselves about. Currently in this city all the aristocratic class reside.

Which doesn't happen often…once maybe every three hundred years; it isn't as if the upper classes don't get along…it's just that we usually don't live that close to each other.

Actually human would be surprised to note that there are many vampires all over the world. According to our last censes we have about 100,000 vampires worldwide.

Shocked…you should be.

For you see human…we are not just creatures of the night but we can reside in the daylight. I know I just ruined all of your favorite vampire stories. But I believe honesty is the best policy. Letting the fact that we have no problems in daylight go on as some sort of fiction really is tiresome; some of the so called legends or fables of what bothers a vampire or how we act must be put to rest.

I mean come on…I live on blood but I love garlic in my pizza. We don't need food…we just enjoy it like a fine wine would be enjoyed by you humans.

I have a weakness for pizza…strange I know. Take my friend Sasuke…he loves dark chocolate. I myself can't stand it but whatever floats the vamps boat.

Another we aren't afraid of is water…I hope you understand… water doesn't bothers us at all. I couldn't imagine being unable to bath for a thousand years…I am sort of anal about my hygiene. That also includes holy water. I mean with all the churches around the world it would sort of suck…I made a joke there…you can laugh if you want to human…but anyway…churches are where some of the most beautiful art and artifacts are kept.

And I really love things of beauty. So holy water isn't something we are afraid of…but what we are afraid of is other vampires. For we can only be killed by another vampire…but that happens only far and few between centuries; in fact the last vampire death's were the massacre of all the Uchiha coven except…Sasuke who is my best friend and his older brother Itachi. They were the only survivors of that horrible day…and their family was killed by their uncle. Then afterwards Sasuke and Itachi killed him. Vampire justice is usually swift and deadly.

You humans take too long for your justice. Imagine locking up a vampire for his lifetime…that is just plain stupid. But the death sentence for a vampire is only done in extreme crimes…like killing vampires of any coven.

It really amazes me how many myths there are out there about us vampires. I mean I can't imagine going into the sun and glittering…or fighting werewolves…we have had a treaty with werewolves for about 6,000 years. They can't kill us so the treaty was mostly for their benefit. Or my favorite myth the one where we have to be buried in the soil of our birth that is just gross. I mean who wants some old dirt covering them…oh I almost forgot the sleeping in a coffin. The bed I sleep in cost 20,000 dollars do you really think that I would sleep in a cheap old coffin. That is just one of the many strange myths about us.

In fact human your politicians know all about us. For all of the larger covens are very rich and hence very powerful and that includes the public realm; and no…I don't wear clothes that are old fashion. I have all my clothes made for me because I don't buy off the rack.

Really it amazes me that some of these myths could possibly be believed by you humans. It is a constant source of amusement for Sasuke and myself.

Now that I have given you some real background of us; I think that I will tell you about why we patrol the city.

The reason is quite simple…when you have lived long and you hold as much power as we do you will always have people or in this case vampires who feel that they are treated unfairly. And in this case we have a number of fringe fractions that feel they shouldn't have to earn anything…and that because they are vampires they deserve to have everything given to them on a silver platter.

I mean how ridiculous that is…all of us born or made vampires have to work and make our own way in the world. If not boredom would be an overwhelming hell. And that would cause a lot of vampires to start trouble just to get some action in their lives.

Take me for instance…I work as a teacher in the local high school. I really enjoy working with kids and making them learn…no making them learn isn't correct…I give them the ability to learn and explore. I could make them learn…that is one thing the myths got right…we can manipulate the human mind…bend it to our will.

But back to the patrols…we do it as a public service so that the public doesn't get hurt. I know we are so nice…

Hah…there is my friend Sasuke…he will be taking over tonight for me. I have class in the morning and I need to prepare. Also the principal told me yesterday that I was getting a new student.

"Hey Sasuke…how are you this sweltering evening?" I ask my friend as he walked up to me.

Sasuke smiled.

"Oh, just fine…any problems tonight?" asked Sasuke.

"No…just the normal muggers and such…nothing to concern ourselves about" I said as we started walking down the street together.

"That is good to hear…" said Sasuke.

"So Sasuke how is your brother? Well, I hope" I said.

"Oh, he is fine…the old bat is as annoying as ever…so how are you doing? It is getting close isn't it?" asked Sasuke as we turned down a dark alley.

I frowned at him.

"Yeah, it is getting time for me to choose my mate but I am not in any hurry for that to happen" I said.

Sasuke nodded and we continued to walk in silence.

But I guess for the humans reading this I should explain. When we vampires get to a certain age…most have the urge to find our mate about the time we turn one thousand. Our bodies become very attuned…it is as if we are searching for someone. And that someone is our mate. We know who are mate is supposed to be because when we look at them…their auras glow gold and red. Also they smell like the sweetest ambrosia ever imagined.

Well at this point we know that we are meant to be with that person. It doesn't matter if they are male or female…human or vampire…they are destined to be our mate. Now things sometimes are not as easy as I am making it sound. Take Sasuke for example his mate is a guy named Shikamaru Nara and well let's just say that he isn't making it very easy for Sasuke. The big problem is that he is lazy…no lazy doesn't describe what he is…maybe it would be better if he was just lazy.

Shikamaru is very smart and very human. And the bad thing for Sasuke is that Shikamaru is married with two small kids. He also is a teacher at the school I work at…poor Sasuke. But maybe it will turn out well for Sasuke yet…for the scuttlebutt around the faculty room is that Shikamaru's wife is cheating on him. He just doesn't know it yet.

Anyway back to the mating thing…when we identify our mate…they also recognize us. It makes it a little hard for human mates. For humans have a hard time with the whole destined to be with one another; you humans are so fickled.

But it isn't just the auras that tell us that we have found our mate…it is also by bring a strange undeniable heat to our bodies. We then can actually blush…that is something I am not looking forward too.

But I have to admit that it is funny when I see Sasuke blush…for the heat will last until you make love for the first time. Again you can see how that would be funny. So until Shikamaru finds out about his cheating wife…Sasuke will be able to blush with embarrassment. Or with any other situation that calls for a blush and really seeing an Uchiha blush is quite funny.

Sasuke and I have walked for awhile now…it is time for me to go. So I bid Sasuke good evening and make my way back to my house. I neglected to say that we have heightened speed…hearing…and we heal extremely fast.

I get up to my room and begin getting into my night clothes. Then I make my way to the kitchen and pour myself a glass of fresh blood. Taking the glass with me I make my way to the office. It is a comfortable room with plush seating and a nice old oak desk. I go to sit down and turn my computer on…those lesson plans won't do their selves.

Leaning back as my computer warms up I sip slightly on my blood; the O positive blood swirl around before I swallow…I reflected on who my possible mate might be.

Seeing that the computer was ready to go…I set down my glass and with vampire speed I hurry through the lesson plans. Finally after a few minutes…I get done. Shutting off the computer…I leave my office and make my way back up stairs.

I go into the bathroom and turn on the lights. The soft glow shows a very large bathroom with all the bells and whistles. I have an eight head walk in shower and a large three person spa like tub. The colors are a soothing earthy color.

Looking into the mirror…sorry humans…another myth busted…I take note of my lavender colored eyes and long black hair. My skin is pale as most vampires but I have been told it seems to glow at certain times…like a pearl…that is what an old lover told me after he told me that I was as cold as an pearl.

Oh…I neglected to tell you my name…I am Neji Hyuga.

I can't believe that I forgot to tell you my name. Oh well I am slightly detracted…this mating thing weighs heavy in my mind.

Finally done with all the nightly bathroom things…I got to my bed and get in settling down for a good couple hours of sleep…I allow my mind to wander and hence the dreams start. Yes…I have busted another myth…sleep and dreams…we vampires do both. We just don't need as much of either of those things.

A couple hours later my alarm goes off and I get ready to start my day. Getting dressed in a simple pair of black slacks and a blood red button up shirt; I bring my tie with me to go have some breakfast. Slipping on the tie…I grab a glass to pour myself some more blood. I need as much energy as possible to deal with hormonal teens.

Leaving my house I go to my car…my baby…it is an Aston Martin in black. She is a very sweet car.

I make my way to school and proceed to go to my room. I have about 10 minutes until students start coming in to begin the journey toward being a lifelong learner.

So I take the time to set up all that I have to have out for the day. We are learning about Shakespeare. He was such a brilliant man and a really good friend. It was sad to see him die but that is what happens when you make friends with humans. It is a risk I am willing to take…for I have met some of the most brilliant people only to see them grow old and die. Albert Einstein, William Shakespeare, and the great composer Ludwig van Beethoven…all great men who I have met and knew before they died. And that alone makes it worth being a vampire …

As I muse my students start coming in and they take their seats quietly. I look up and smile…maybe one of these students will become some famous composer or maybe a scientist…you never know and that is why I teach.

I see all the students are seated and I take a fast roll call…for I desire to get to the lesson as fast as possible. Turning to the white board…I write down what we will be learning today. All of the sudden there is knocking at my door. I tell whoever it is to come in…and I turn to see the guidance counselor bring in my new student.

Suddenly my senses become overwhelmed…

Walking behind the guidance counselor is a petite blond hair young man. His aura glows the most beautiful red and gold. And he smells like heaven…

My eyes widen…

As the small one raises his head and looks me straight in the eyes. He is beautiful…that word isn't enough to describe him. His eyes are a blue I have never seen before in my thousand years. His small petite frame showed him to be a little underweight but that didn't detract from his beauty. He had six small scares on his face and wild untamed blond hair. His skin was clear except for the scars and tanned.

We stood looking at each other for what seemed an eternity but that hardly mattered. Our souls knew each other for we were meant to be together.

After a few minutes I became aware that the guidance counselor was trying to get my attention. I could feel the heat run through my body…

OH! DAMN…I am blushing.

I shake my head to clear it and look at the woman.

"Here is your new student…Mr. Hyuga…his name is Naruto Uzumaki" said the woman.

Naruto Uzumaki…my mate.
