AN: I said that I wouldn't get too many fics started at once… but that decision has been… I don't know, taken back? I was inspired to do a vampire fic, by the movie Van Helsing. Not that… its going to be the same as the movie… this one is completely different. I've been racking my brain for a new idea and I guess I found it. The next fic I plan to write hasn't even been started… well, I just can't find where to start it… So I decided to write this one first… and then we'll see.

I'll say this once and only once: I do not own Naruto. It belongs to its respectful owners and creators, etc. etc.

Drowning in Blood: Prologue

500 years ago…

 The first vampire was born. His dark lustrous eyes loomed over the dark village of Konoha. He licked his lips with his long tongue taking pleasure in the taste they left him, the taste of blood. He savored the taste; he lived for it. He chuckled. Tonight, would be the night he sired his first vampires. His children, his subordinates… whichever they were the same to him. His body was shaking with absolute madness and excitement. Oh yes, he was one of a kind, however, now would be the time when he began his revolution; his revenge against Konoha and its leaders for even trying to lock him up in that dark blasted dungeon. They considered him a freak. An inhumane object capable of world destruction, when all he wanted as acceptance for what he really was… but no.

They planned to lock him there for eternity, swearing that one day, when they found a way, they would destroy him, so that his evil will never reach out toward others. A pinch, a bite, a slice here and there and they think you're going to destroy the world. He could laugh. So they cursed him, he would never be able to accomplish his goals and he would pay for everything he has done. Fools, they believed a few crosses and seals could contain his power? No, he broke out of that cursed place with ease and ran toward the hills hiding… until he could finally commence his plan and now, merely a year later, he has done it. He has found the perfect revenge, a plan that would take over a century to complete. A complete domination of his kind… and first to go was Konoha; The only place that actually knew his true power.

Oh yes, Orochimaru, King of Vampires, will have his revenge... he would be around for a long, long, time. Konoha has an eternity of suffering ahead of it… he swore it, and now, it's going to begin…

A decade later….

The moon shone, the stars shined, and Orochimaru stalked around Konoha with a large frown on his face, undetected. He shook his head 'this town sucks…' He rubbed his chin annoyingly and stood at his place for a while, waiting for something good to come an entertain him. To his disappointment, nothing happened. 'Still paranoid though…' he grinned. His sensitive ears picked up a noise. He listened closely… There were two people, armed with weapons… Now, he was interested.

  "We got another one. That was close… I swear this job is tiring sometimes." One voice whispered.

"Dobe, quit complaining." A low, dark voice said. Orochimaru shivered, oh, he liked these two, especially the one with the darker voice. "We do this for a reason, without us hunting vampires all the time, who the hell would protect his godforsaken town?! No one. We are all they have, Naruto." The king of Vampires grinned. It looks like; he has found himself two new victims, and vampire hunters at that, how ironic… His luck was beginning to turn around. He walked toward the voices.

 The two were lurched over a body. They seemed to be studying it intently. They didn't even notice his presence. Orochimaru chuckled slightly. Their heads snapped up and they turned around immediately with their weapons aimed directly at his forehead. "Who the hell are you?!" The dark haired one demanded. Orochimaru felt chills. These two, were different. They were both… dare he say beautiful? He just liked these two guys.

One was slightly shorter, with brilliant blue eyes and interestingly… blonde hair, and then yes, the second one. He had dark hair and his sharp piercing eyes glared intently at him. He liked that before a kill. It was just a fetish, nothing more. "I'm not going to ask you again! Answer the question if you don't want a steak through your chest." Orochimaru smirked, these two gave him such amusement.

"I… am Orochimaru." He said, straightforward. The two looked at him as if he was crazy; apparently they were caught off guard by his answer. They didn't lower their weapons.

"Damn it, would you just answer the question?! For real this time!" The blonde one asked.

"I. Am. Orochimaru…" Stubborn idiots… they just don't listen to him.

"Impossible, the guards would've spotted you already. You can't get into half the radius in this town, how the hell would you make it this far?! Idiot, quit fooling around." The blonde one spoke again.

He sighed, Orochimaru hated repeating himself. Apparently, their looks don't work with in synchronization with their brains. Now, he was just getting annoyed. "I won't repeat myself you fools." It was already through half the night, he was hungry. Better make this meal quick, and scrap the siring idea. "Enough, I'm tired of you two. Such a waste of good looks too." Orochimaru leapt into the air and landed behind them. He smirked and grabbed the blonde one's neck.

"Naruto!" The dark haired one yelped. Ah, so that was his name.

"Well, well, well, Naruto, now you die…" A felt something plunge into his chest from behind. A steak, a silver one. Orochimaru's eyes widened slightly, he didn't even see the dark haired boy move. He released Naruto and looked down. He smirked. "You idiots." He pulled the steak out of his chest and licked his blood off of it. "Old simple tricks won't work on me." He laughed out loud and licked his lips. The two guys seemed shocked.

Orochimaru looked at the body on the ground. It was one of his children, bested to easily, and now he knew why. These two were different. They had speed, they had talent… they had looks. After all, the child they just slayed was a daughter of his. "You killed my child… did you know that?" He asked lowly. The two glared at him. "She was one of the first… actually." He bent down and stroked her hair. "You know, I'll need someone to replace her, and I think you two will work just fine."

"Never. You idiot, I don't care if you are Orochimaru, we would never become like you." The dark haired one seethed. Orochimaru frowned slightly. He had yet to figure out his name.

"Sasuke…" Naruto muttered. Orochimaru felt better, the idiot relieved his frustration for him. His name was Sasuke, and what a beautiful specimen he was. He was thrilled. Wait… he stiffened slightly, wait a minute… Sasuke… Uchiha Sasuke? Orochimaru looked at the boy. He was wearing a silver chain around his neck, with the Uchiha fan on it. That was all the proof he needed. He was interested in him completely now.

"I didn't say you had a choice." Orochimaru said smirking. "Uchiha Sasuke…" The dark haired boy's head snapped up. Too late, Orochimaru charged and disappeared. The two were helpless. They couldn't see him anywhere.

Sasuke's eyes wandered around. A snap, "Naruto! Run!" It was too late for him, as soon as Naruto took a step, Orochimaru appeared behind him, held him down, and took his bite. Naruto's screams echoed throughout the village. Sasuke could barely react. He stood there, shocked. His knees wobbled slightly, but his body would not move. He could only watch as his friend get his life sucked out by this hideous creature. He was panicking.

  Before he knew it, Naruto's body was dumped before him. Sasuke kneeled down beside him. "Naruto?" He whispered disbelievingly. "Naruto… wake up." He shook the other boy. No, he was gone. Taken away so easily… away from him in one instant. All because of him, Orochimaru… "Come out you bastard! I'll chop you into pieces for what you've done!" He yelled.

Orochimaru grinned, "Oh really Sasuke-kun…?" His voice echoed, "Ah, Uchiha Sasuke… you are obviously one of the survivors from the Uchiha clan correct? What a good fight they put up-…" Sasuke glared, but he didn't know where Orochimaru was. He couldn't detect him. The vampire continued, "I remember, I was there… blood everywhere! It was beautiful you know…  Itachi, one of my children, such a prodigy… how lovely it would be, if I had both the Uchiha brothers in my army…"

"Quit your rambling and show yourself!" Sasuke yelled.

"Pfft, ahahahahaha…. I saw it all Sasuke. I sent Itachi to do it. That night, he slayed and drank the hell out of every single one of your-…"

"How do you know about me?!" he asked curiously yet painfully. The images never stopped haunting him.

"I'm Orochimaru… you don't believe me Sasuke-kun?" Orochimaru appeared suddenly in front of him, upside down, balancing on nothing and standing in midair. He stroked Sasuke's cheek. "Don't feel so discouraged Sasuke, I know where Itachi is… I can help you…" The boy smacked his hand away.

"Stay the hell away from me!" Sasuke grabbed his weapon and aimed it at him.

"It's no use and you know it… You mortals can never kill me." He smirked and snapped his fingers. Sasuke regarded him suspiciously. A hand came out of nowhere and wrapped over his mouth. He then pinned his arms behind his back, leaving his neck exposed. "That a boy, Naruto. Hold him down, nice and tight." Orochimaru approached him. "Ah, I could feel your blood pulsing…" He licked his lips. Sasuke could only watch. He struggled against his restraints but it was no use. Naruto wasn't human anymore, his strength was too great. He couldn't react… He saw Orochimaru's smirking face and gaped in horror. The vampire bent down, and plunged his fangs into his neck. He lost all feeling, and fell unconscious. Orochimaru laughed loudly, yes, he had finally found them, so simply too. Two new born vampires he would breed to become two of the most powerful, and to think, he found them on a peaceful night like this…

TBC…
