Disclaimer; Naruto and Vampire Knight do no belong to me, and it doesn’t seem to matter how much I wish. EHHH?! If I were making money off of this don’t you think I would be spending it instead of writing a fanfiction?? -_-
Chapter Four
The moon was high in the dark sky. A dangerous smile erupted before disappearing, leaving a cold and beautiful face. Snow was blown away. Wind flared. Blonde hair blew back slightly as the person watched the other blond struggled inside of the electrical cage that had been hiding in the snow. A needle glinted from the ground a few meters away and a mysterious liquid oozed out of it slowly.
Naruto breathed heavily and glared at the female figure in front of him. “What the hell?” he wheezed out. He took in the dirty blonde hair that went down to the middle of her back, those pretty features of a vampire, the big brown eyes, and the almost-invisible smirk on her lips. There was a dignified air around her. He hated the brown-eyed vampire on sight.
“That’s too bad for you,” she told him smugly, though her face was expressionless. “That needle contained a powerful potion in it that enables vampires, including Pure Bloods, to use their powers. You’re hopeless in that cage, Naruto.”
His glare increased. “That’s Uzumaki-sama to you,” he snapped, throwing daggers from his eyes. “You don’t even deserve to say my first name.” He was on his hands and knees as he panted. Everything felt restricting, like it was squeezing the life out of him. “I never caught your name,” he got out.
“Oh?” she asked, raising an eyebrow, all amusement gone from her face replaced with cold deliberation. “Where have my manners gone?” She mock curtsied in front of him, her gaze showing an underlying challenging. “My name is
Naruto narrowed his eyes on the vampire. “Loyal follower of Kaname-sama? Why aren’t you with him right now?” He tried to keep her busy as his body started to heal itself, pushing the unwanted toxin out of his body using his pores. Sweat barely glistened on his skin, making it look like he glowed in the moonlight.
“I can’t forgive you,” she told him coldly. “Stop pretending around him and stay away from him. Kaname-sama doesn’t need to be around imposters.”
Naruto let his blond bangs shadow his eyes as he quirked a dangerous grin. “Oh? So you think I’m faking being a Pure Blood?”
“I KNOW you are.” There was an absolute certainty in her voice.
He let out a chuckle. A low, rumbling chuckle that showed his full amusement. If only, if only. For a moment he wished that the certainty was right. If his family hadn’t been Pure Bloods then nothing would have happened to them. As it was, because of that power in their blood it couldn’t have been helped. He had been parentless as a result, until Iruka came, of course. He watched with sharp eyes as she narrowed those browns at him. “Why do you laugh?”
He asked another question to her, “Do you really think that this ‘potion’ will keep my powers locked up?” He leaned back with leisure. “Oh well, it doesn’t really matter.” He continued to chuckle, leaning his head to the side to show his face through his bangs.
He closed his eyes and swayed a little, a smile still playing over his lips. He could feel his powers returning but knew that he didn’t have to do anything. After all, there was another vampire behind the bushes a few yards away watching and waiting to take Ruka down. Anyway, Naruto didn’t really like showing off his powers. It made him feel dangerous, and that was a feeling he didn’t like. Exercising his Pure Blood powers made him feel slightly uncomfortable, so he only used his regular vampire ones when needed.
There was a blast of power as the other vampire surged out of the bushes. Naruto watched, his eyes trying to adjust to the speed at which the vampire moved. Thanks to that Pure Blood line in him, his eyes were better than other vampires, and so he kept up with the figure. He was shocked to find that it was another female.
Ruka turned too late and as she was bashed on the head, she gave Naruto a faint glare before dropping cold. Her head wound allowed blood to spill onto the snow-packed ground. Naruto grimaced as his inner monster started thrashing in its cage. He reined it in with a practiced shake of his head, looking over the disappearing cage to stare at the girl. She had long brown hair that sparkled in the soft white light, along with big doe eyes the same color of her hair. A delicate beauty that hid its thorns, Naruto decided.
He grinned at her, “Hi!” She gave him a startled look before smiling shyly at him. He continued, “Thanks for helping me back there.”
“No no,” she said hastily, “It’s my job to help Onii-chan’s friends,” Naruto blinked at the word.
“Onii-chan?” he questioned, “Kaname-sama is your brother?”
“Hai,” she answered, smiling, “Let me introduce myself. My name is Kuran Yuki,”
“Oh ho,” Naruto chuckled, flashing out a hand, “
They shook hands and Naruto stood up, bowing like a gentleman in front of her. She blushed and he grinned.
“So you believe that I’m a Pure Blood?” he asked her, leaning on one leg and slouching to come off as non-threatening. She nodded. His smiled deepened. “Arigatou! No one seems to believe that fact except for Kaname-sama,”
“Well, it is pretty unbelievable for another Pure Blood to just pop out like that,” she muttered, then blushed at the almost-rude sounding comment. He laughed it off.
“True,” he said, then thought of something, “Hey, does that mean you’re a Pure Blood too? Well, wait. Don’t answer that question, it’s stupid.”
Yuki gave him a slightly amused glance. “Yes, I am a Pure Blood, though my powers seemed to be more limited than onii-chan’s,”
Naruto thought of something else, “Naa, hey, does that mean you know some of Kaname-sama’s dirty secrets?” he asked excitedly, blue eyes flashing mischievously. “You can tell me, you know. It’s all in the name of joking,”
Yuki got a thoughtful look on her face.

A fresh wave of blood wafted toward the Night Class as they started back to their dorms. Kaname expressionlessly looked toward the moon, a sliver of disappointment showing in his eyes. He ignored the other Night Class as they started to murmur about Ruka’s scent.
“Bakayaro,” he whispered inaudibly as his eyes turned red subtly.
--
Zero paused as the scent of freshly-spilt blood reached his nose. He cocked his head, turning toward a general direction before seeing something flash between the trees, dark but recognizable. Zero decided to not deal with the bloodsuckers since Sasuke was heading over already. Though Sasuke was human, he was very powerful with his sword. Zero knew he wouldn’t be needed.
--
Sasuke loped through the dense trees, feet skimming the snow-covered ground silently. The wind flashed through his hair, whipping a few dark strands in his eyes. Those obsidian rocks glittered dimly as the owner made its way to the source of the smell of blood.
He arrived at the scene, hand automatically moving toward his pocket where his sword rested. Yes, it was practically impossible for a sword to fit in there, but it grew in size when he unsheathed it. The small sword was very handy for times when he had to walk around with it in his pocket, which was every day.
He gave a glance at the picture in front of him. There was that blond Pure Blood scum along with another female vampire Sasuke wasn’t familiar with. Another blonde vampire lay on the ground unconscious, a large wound on her head. Blood was melting the snow below, turning the snow into a crimson stain. He made his presence known by shuffling into the small area, sword hidden in one hand.
“Ah, Perfect-san,” Naruto grinned, “Nice of you to finally join us. I would like to know where you’ve been for the past hour,”
“I don’t need to explain anything to you,” Sasuke grunted, walking up to them with carefully blank eyes.
“I could’ve gotten killed if not for Yuki-sama here,” Naruto whined, ignoring the gleam in Sasuke’s eyes. The obsidian eyed boy filed away the fact that Naruto called her Yuki-SAMA in his head for future reference.
“Good,” Sasuke muttered lowly, allowing Naruto and Yuki to hear. Naruto pouted.
“That’s not nice,”
“I don’t care,” Sasuke said curtly, bending down to look at the other vampire on the ground. He kept his back studiously away from the other vampires, eyeing the wound with displeasure. The amount of blood here was enough to draw out all of the vampires, but he didn’t hear any coming. Kaname must have ordered them to keep still, Sasuke deducted. The wound is barely closing, and she’s still unconscious. I don’t get it.
“She was hit by an anti-vampire weapon,” the girl beside Naruto spoke up. Sasuke looked up sharply, glaring at her. She shrunk back slightly in surprise before standing straighter.
“And how, pray tell, was she hit by an anti-vampire weapon when there are only two vampires here?”
Yuki hesitated. “I can hold one anti-vampire weapon because of my previous human years. It doesn’t rebel with me,” Sasuke put that piece of information in his head too.
Sasuke hissed, “You have an anti-vampire weapon?!” Naruto interrupted them by stepping slightly in front of Yuki, eyes narrowing and turning slightly ice blue.
“Do you have a problem with that?” he asked calmly. Sasuke glared at him as the wind picked up.
“I wasn’t asking you,” he snapped, standing up. He gave them a glare before dragging the limp vampire to a tree, dropping her shoulders near a tree to shield from the incoming dawn. Headmaster Cross wouldn’t be pleased if the stupid bloodsucker got more than burns tomorrow. He hoped she died of blood loss anyway.
Naruto and Yuki watched as he walked away.
“Have you been here for a while?” he asked her, turning to face her.
“Kind of,” she replied, blinking at the abrupt vanish of the Perfect.
Naruto nodded and asked, “Have you met both Perfects?”
“Hai,” she answered, confused now. She turned toward Naruto with a curious look.
Naruto nodded again and asked in a bland voice, “Did you notice that they both have ice sticks up their ass?” Yuki blinked, blushing as she looked down. “Ah,” Naruto said, translating the movement, tone still bland. “So you DID notice it. Good, than I wasn’t the only one.” Yuki giggled slightly.
Naruto looked at the night sky, gaze pensive. Hmm, classes should have been over for quite a while, he thought, noting the lighter sky. Which means I’ve been harassing my attacker and talking with Yuki for a while. Naruto nodded, and turned toward Yuki, a smile on his face, “Saa, let’s go back to the dorms. It should be daylight soon.”

[1] I don’t know if it’s different in the anime. I looked it up in a profile place and the Japanese name for her was the same as the English so…will someone tell me if this is right in Japanese? Isn’t Ruka her first name? Ah, so confused so confused.
AN; For those who wanted Yuki in the story so badly! Haha, here she is! And no, she won’t be competing for Kaname’s attention, okay? If I do that, it would be with someone completely different.
I feel bad because Ruka was slightly OOC despite the fact that I tried to fix that error. Grr. But it’s her style, you know, in a weird and insane way, because she’s positively loyal to Kaname and will try and bring down anyone who so much as tries to hurt him. So I guess she saw Naruto as a threat and tried to kill him. Poor Naru-chan. All he wants to do is be loved. Well, at least the angst is building up LOL.
Yes, I skipped the warnings. It’s been on the first three chapters loyally but now I say screw it. Anyone have a problem with that? –glares at the audience- Heh, kidding.
So, this update is short and tactless, and I didn’t like it. I want to make it longer but I don’t want to at the same time. –sigh- I’m so freaking lazy LOL. Well, at least it’s slightly longer than last chapter, ne? Kaname had a slightly OOC moment, because he wouldn’t have said anything. He’s too cool to talk, but I wanted him to so I made him. XD Hah, and Sasuke is such an ass, but I love him.
No, I didn’t even read this over. I’m tired. The mistakes are ignorable, right? Good.
I’ll try to update faster next time. Sorry. –apologetic smile-
