Kimi he

Hours had past by since the young vampire had started his attempt to decipher the blonde’s handwriting and he still hadn’t gained the knowledge he wanted. Sasuke sighed. Weren’t vampires thought to be sly? The raven haired shook his head. It wasn’t his fault that the blonde’s handwriting was indecipherable. He was sly. The young boy looked up to the sky. Sunrise would approach him soon and the young vampire wasn’t too keen on a sun-tanned skin. It would surely kill him… literally.

“Sasuke-kun?” a male voice asked behind him. Sasuke… according to the blond boy he had met earlier it was his name. The raven turned around to face the source of the voice.

“Do you know me?” he asked the silver haired boy. Sasuke assumed he was only a couple of years older than himself, but unlike the blond boy this guy held another aura. Something was wrong with him. The dark haired youth sniffed the air. It held a rather cold, metallic smell and the air around the other guy seemed to look darker than it usually would look like.

‘That smell,’ Sasuke thought back, ‘… It’s blood.’

“Who are you?” Sasuke asked. The silver haired youth adjusted his glasses nonchalantly. “My, my. You really don’t remember anything, do you?” he asked back; his glasses reflected the street lamp’s light and hid his eyes.

The dark haired boy didn’t answer. After all, the other guy didn’t reply to his questions as well, so he chose to merely glare at the spectacle wearer.

The silver haired boy snickered at the raven’s stubbornness. “It’s fine, Uchiha Sasuke. I can help you regain your memories if you wish. You only have to follow me…” With that the older boy turned around, leaving the raven behind.

Sasuke didn’t have to think very long before he called out a loud “Wait!” after the other guy. Whoever it was he might knew something, or so Sasuke hoped.

He ran after the silver haired youth. When he finally caught up with him, he asked “What’s your name?” His voice gave away only the merest hint of curiosity as he tried to sound indifferent, but it was still enough for the older boy to pinpoint the other one’s curiosity.

The spectacle wearer chuckled lightly. “Oh Sasuke, you’re fun, you know?”

If Uchiha Sasuke hated one thing, it was that the other guy hadn’t replied any of his questions so far and was calling him of all people ‘fun’. He wasn’t ‘fun’… But maybe it would be fun to rip the other fellow’s lungs out.

The raven huffed in annoyance. “I won’t repeat my questions any longer,” the dark haired boy stated, his voice held a final tone “What. Is. Your. Name?” The young vampire made sure to emphasize every single word.

“My name is Kabuto, remember it,” finally the silver haired youth replied to the Uchiha’s question. “Listen Uchiha, this is neither the best time nor the best place to speak in private now. I bet you don’t want to see the sun rise and neither do I. If you want to know any more things, I suggest you follow me without asking any further questions now.”

“Hn,” Sasuke wasn’t convinced at all. The only thing he knew was the stranger’s name and he wasn’t even sure if it was his real name, yet which choices did he have? The raven wanted answers, memories and so much more. So despite the fact that it could have been a trap he followed the other guy called Kabuto.

They were walking around in silence for a few minutes by now and Sasuke still didn’t know where the other guy was leading him to.

“Hey, where are we going to?” The dark haired youth decided to shatter the silence with his question, causing the other male to look at him for a brief second before he turned around again. “We are almost there.” The silver haired male replied simply.

“Humph,” Sasuke wasn’t very pleased with the reply he got. He wanted to know WHERE they were going, not WHEN they would arrive there.

Suddenly Kabuto stopped which caused the dark haired boy to bump into his back. “We’re there,” the silver haired youth stated calmly. Sasuke tilted his head as he tried to look at the building in front of them. ‘It’s high…’ the dark haired vampire was slightly impressed but remained his cool, unimpressed mask as he merely stated a small “Hn”.

The raven had a bad feeling when they walked into the building. The whole building held a strange aura around it but now that he was inside it was even worse.

Each room Sasuke and his companion had passed so far was pitch-dark and deserted; the whole place seemed to be abandoned. ‘Well, after all the sun hasn’t even risen yet,’ the dark haired boy concluded, probably every human being would start their work in a few hours when he was asleep. “This way,” Kabuto snapped the raven out of his thoughts as he headed towards a lift.

“8th floor,” the silver haired boy spoke clearly into a microphone. A signal was heard before an automatic voice repeated “Aids floor… I’m afraid, there’s no aids floor in my database. If you want to correct your statement, please speak after the signal tone.”

“Fuck! I said 8th floor, you damn…” Kabuto started to complain when he heard another tone come from the lift. “You said lathe floor… I’m sorry, but there isn’t any lathe floor in this building. If you meant ‘bathe floor’, please say ‘1st floor’ and ask the person at the information desk.”

Kabuto seemed to get even more annoyed at the stupidity he was faced with.

After a few more useless tries and unable to do anything else, the silver haired youth decided to do the only thing he could do at that moment. Yes, he destroyed the loudspeakers from which the annoying mechanical voice came from just a minute before.

“We’ll walk!” the silver haired boy huffed to the raven in annoyance.

After another few minutes of walking around aimlessly – or so Sasuke thought – they came to a door which sign said “Count”.

“We’re there,” Kabuto stated before he knocked at the door. “Orochimaru-sama, we’re here,” he called loud enough for the person inside the room to hear him.

“Come in,” a dark voice replied from inside.

The door creaked slightly when the silver haired youth opened it. Sasuke’s first impression when he saw the sickly pale man was ‘Eww, an old geezer,’ but of course the young vampire didn’t say that aloud.

“Ah, I see, you’ve brought him here,” the snake like man said satisfied, “Good job, Kabuto.”

“Thank you, Orochimaru-sama,” said man replied before he was faced with angry pale yellow eyes glaring at him. “What did I tell you, Kabuto?” the glare intensified as the pale man hissed at his subordinate. “I’m sorry, Count Rocket-dono. I won’t say ‘Orochimaru-sama’ again,” the younger one tried to apologize for his mistake when he was hit by a rocket. “Then why did you do it again?” the older man shouted “GET OUT!!!” another rocket was thrown at Kabuto as he closed the door behind him, leaving Sasuke and the old geezer, pardon; Orochimaru-sama, delete that; Count Rocket alone.

“So, Sasuke-kun,” the old gee— older man turned to the young raven, “I’m glad you’ve arrived well,” he smiled as he finished his sentence.

“Get down to the nitty-gritty, old fart! You know something I want to know, so tell me already!” Well, Sasuke was kind of angry by now. He had to walk around aimlessly the whole night, never got any answer and he was dead tired (since he was a vampire, he was already dead, but he still was tired).

“You know it, too, don’t you? After all, they’re your memories,” the snake cooed. ‘Shouldn’t he hiss instead of coo?’ the younger raven briefly wondered before he answered. “You know that I don’t know it otherwise I wouldn’t be here!” Sasuke wanted to sleep; the sun would rise soon. “I think you just pretend that you don’t know it, but we both know that you know it.” Annoyed by the older man’s ‘logic’ Sasuke grabbed one rocket he found on the floor. But before he could turn it into a deadly weapon, he was stopped by Count Rocket. “Wait! Wait! Wait! You want to know it?! I’ll tell it! I will! I will! But don’t throw that rocket at me!”

The older man stared terrified at the rocket Sasuke held in his hand. Of course the young vampire didn’t know that rockets were the only thing that could kill the older vampire. Count Rocket wasn’t afraid of stakes like many other (normal) vampire were, but he was afraid that someone could stake him with a rocket (if that was even possible)… Yes, the old geezer was a weird vampire count.

“Everything started that night when I first lay my eyes on you…” the older vampire started.

“Dobe,” I said simply when Naruto stated for the 40th time that night that he would become better than me very soon, followed by another long speech why he would surely become the next Hokage. Oh, why couldn’t the blond shut up for a second?

I rubbed my temples to soothe my beginning headache when I suddenly felt someone was watching me. I turned around to see… nobody. It wasn’t my imagination, was it? Sure, the mission was more difficult than we first thought it was and it was already 2 a.m. but…
It just couldn’t be my imagination. I wasn’t tired, stressed or whatever. I had a reputation to live up to, I was an Uchiha, damn it! Uchihas don’t get tired or stressed!

“Let’s call it a day,” I stated in a final tone before I turned around, ignoring the idiot’s complaints that I didn’t listen to him at all and the pink haired kunoichi’s drivel about why I wouldn’t ask her out.

Why should I ask her, of all people, out?! Girls were annoying, especially that one. I’ve almost reached my room when a hand grasped my wrist tightly. Assuming it was Sakura, I turned around, scowling at… him? I was rather dumbfounded when I saw Naruto’s blue orbs looking right at me. I didn’t hear what he was talking about as I felt his eyes only looking at me. ‘Only at me,’ I felt rather proud that his eyes didn’t leave me. It made me feel like I was his world; his everything. It was a good feeling to being thought as something worthy, important… and beloved. My eyes didn’t leave his. I just couldn’t. I wasn’t able to avert my eyes of him. I came closer, my legs moved without me thinking about it. It was so natural approaching Naruto that I didn’t realise when my lips touched his.

“What are you doing, you bastard?!” I was snapped out of my daze by Naruto’s embarrassed squeak. I blinked a few times to realise what I’ve just done. ‘I almost kissed him,’ I recognised. I stepped a few inches back, regarding the other boy in front of me. His flushed face; his flustered voice; his gesture; his whole being caused me to only think of one word, ‘Cute’.

I shook my head furiously. I didn’t think that the idiot was cute! I didn’t! I didn’t! I… did, didn’t I?

“I said, let’s call it a day! So go to bed already… dobe!” I hissed at him as I tried to will my voice remain as stern as possible. I didn’t want to show off my attraction to the blond so the best way to achieve this goal was to insult him, wasn’t it?
However, Kakashi seemed to be rather amused when he asked me “With or without you, Sasuke-chan?” the silver haired man chuckled. No wait, he wasn’t chuckling! That shitty Jounin was laughing at me!

I pulled out several Kunai and threw them at our leader. He deserved death just by calling me ‘Sasuke-chan’. As my Kunai hit Kakashi, the silver haired Jounin turned into a block of wood. Oh, I hate it when he uses the Replacement Jutsu.

I huffed annoyed as I turned around to leave again, banging the door behind me.

I couldn’t sleep at all that night as I turned around in my bed over and over again. I remembered the intense stare I felt upon me just a few hours before. It wasn’t my imagination. It just couldn’t be. Someone watched me and… I paused when I realised a familiar feeling… he or she was watching me again.

I got up from the bed. This time I was determined to find out who was watching me. The bed creaked as I lifted myself up. ‘What a shabby place.’ I looked at the bed disgustedly. ‘Just because Kakashi is such a tightwad.’ I left the room to find the one I was looking for.

On the balcony I saw them: Pale yellow eyes stared at me. I couldn’t see anything else except for those predatory eyes. The person himself was hidden in the dark, no light illuminating him. I could feel his actions nonetheless. He was… smirking. I stared right back into those staring eyes in front of me. I forced myself to appear as brave as possible, but I only felt the smirk of the other one widening.

The next thing I remembered was that everything suddenly became white around me. My vision became blurry and my neck was throbbing. He bit me… As I felt him draining my blood, my knees wobbled until they finally gave in. I fell to the ground; watching as my vision became empty and I drowned into a black bottomless hole.
