Constantine. <Dead Ninja Sequel> (Oh Hold)

Chapter Eleven

I woke up with a start and jolted out of bed into a sitting position, looking to see if it was all just a dream, but Uchiha Sasuke was in my chair reading a book on… odd, I think that’s a children’s book about a llama that ran to the wild. His hair was slightly in his face, but that didn’t block me from seeing the outline of his cheekbone and flawless pale skin. His skin glowed, just like mom’s and mine did, maybe more.

Sasuke looked up to me with his onyx eyes and smirked.

“You’re awake? It’s only three in the morning.” I nodded at him and slowly got out of my bundle of blankets, thinking about what I should do. I have to teach him the ways of the vampire, and I have to teach him how to feed, and how to do many other things.

“I’m going to teach you some things about your new life, and I need to be awake early to teach you and show you, cause my mom is usually laying with my dad around now.” I explained and stood up. I went to a little box that was by the stacks of library books and took out a few sheets of printer paper and a pencil.

I turned on my nightlight that was brighter than the one Sasuke had on and took one of the books as a hard surface to write on and sat down next to Sasuke, who had moved to sit against my bed.

“I saw that you didn’t leave.” I pointed out with a smug smile. He glared for a moment before smirking.

“What would be the point in leaving, Maualei would just bring me back to you. That woman, she loves you. No, she’s more like obsessed with you, and I can’t figure out why. You’re just a normal fifteen year old human that can do ninja jumps.” He ranted and I grinned.

“I guess that will be where I will start. I will tell you a little about my small life. It’s smaller than you really think.” I started and got into a comfortable position before telling him my life story.

“I was born the December Eleventh of last year. I’m not even Two months old, well; I will be two months old tomorrow. I will seem fifteen tomorrow. I am half vampire and half human, a- what Maualei would consider- a half-breed. I was tested on by the Hokage and several of the special doctors that have been sworn to secrecy of not telling of me being not a full human. I was the main lab rat of the hospital for a whole month. Finally I couldn’t take it anymore and refused to be tested again. Of course, if something ever goes wrong with me, I must go there, but at least I have the freedom of even being away from the hospital for more than twelve hours at a time.

“I developed faster than any human- or vampire, and now I have the highest I.Q. in the village and am the strongest and fastest. I’m not as talented as my mother, but I am the family’s prodigy. I study everything I can, I crave knowledge.

“Now, the vampire side of me lets me have inhuman speed, strength, and I can heal with my saliva. I don’t need very much sleep and I don’t need food. The human side of me allows me to not drink blood, it allows me to have a heartbeat, and it lets me be able to eat food instead of regurgitate it. My blood is mixed with my human side of blood, so that is my guess on how you enjoyed my blood.” I paused to take a short breath. He seemed to take in the information fine, so I just continued onto the teaching him part.

“I want you to make your fangs come out of your gums, make them as long as you can.” He looked at me in shock that I’d ask that, but I just urged him to go on. He sighed and started to focus on making his fangs come out. Soon enough they were out and I took a note on about how long they were; 1.5 inches.

“Now” I instructed, “Make them go back in only a little bit, not all the way.” He seemed to have difficulty doing this at first so I sighed. “It’s like chakra control- you’ve learned that, right?” he nodded. “Just focus on your teeth but don’t let chakra come out, or it won’t work.” He nodded again, more and determined and confident.
