Chapter 6: Distraction

Naruto, Elena, and Bonnie entered his home, after the fundraiser "Yeah, I mean it was w-" Naruto stopped talking as he began to look around

"What is it?" Elena asked as Naruto frowned

"I smell blood." Naruto said before he ran down to the basement followed by the girls after a moment they came to the open cellar, and the girls gasped while Naruto frowned as there on the ground was the lifeless, corpse of Zach Salvatore,

Flashback, 1505, Italy

Naruto wearing a suit, entered his childhood home, and made his way up to the master bedroom, entering he walked to the bedside on an old man, and stood there looking at the man with a small smile

Naruto watched the man for a mental "Hello Brother." Naruto greeted, "I knew this day would come, and I could've prevented it by turning you, but you've always looked at the best in people and was so gentle. It would destroy me if I took that from you. I promise you Stefan, our line will survive."

Naruto looked up when the doorknob began to rattle and the door open as a maid walked in but Naruto was gone, while 60 year old Stefan Salvatore died that night with a smile on his face, in his sleep

End Flashback

Naruto was holding Zach's body to his body before he frowned "You guys need to go." Naruto said

"Wha-"

"Damon did this. He's fed, but one person won't be enough for him to get back to full strength, go home and lock your doors. I'll call you." Naruto said standing up

Bonnie, and Elena looked down to the corpse before they brought Naruto into a hug, and kissed him "Be safe." Bonnie said before she and Elena left heading to Bonnie's house since Damon hasn't been invited in

Naruto looked down to Zach's corpse and sighed as he knelt down "You idiot. I told you to leave, and don't come back till I said it was okay."

At the cemetery

After the sun went down, Damon had left the house and found his self at the old cemetery where he stumbled onto Vicki and her friends,

Damon finished draining a girl before using her sleeve to wipe his mouth, standing Damon grabbed one of the bodies and dragged it into the fire he started, before he grabbed a bottle after searching the pockets for a phone he started to pour the whisky on them when he found a phone he dialed a number as he started burning the bodies

"Hello?" Naruto asked over the phone

"I want my ring." Damon said after taking a sip of whisky

"Where are you?" Naruto asked as he loaded Zach's body into a truck

"I'm at the sizzler. I had the buffet. Where's my ring?" Damon asked

"What have you done?" Naruto asked

"No, what have you done? You're the one that locked me in the basement and bled, and starved me, so whatever I've done, whoever I've sucked dry is on you, buddy." Damon retorted

"You're still being careless. How many more animal attacks is this town gonna believe, huh?" Naruto asked

"I know how to cover my tracks, Naruto. Where's my ring?" Damon asked

"I got more important things to do. You'll get your ring, whenever I decide to give it to you." Naruto said

"No, your going to give me my ring, or my next stop is Elena's."

'Go near her, and your ring gone for good." Naruto said hanging up on Damon

Damon scoffed as he hung up the phone before he noticed Vicki, grabbing the bottle once again Damon walked over to her and poured the whisky on her to burn her body but she began to cough, tossing the bottle away Damon knelt down next to her "You just don't wanna die, do you?"

Next Morning

Elena met Naruto at the cemetery, as he sat in the crypt, sitting beside him she grabbed his hand "You know, even though Salvatore isn't my last name, I kept it in honor of my brother Stefan. I had promised him on his deathbed that I'd watch out for his descendants, out of all of them, I failed Zach the most."

"Why would you think that?" Elena asked

"May 10, 1994, Damon killed Zach's fiancé and their unborn child." Naruto said causing Elena to gasp "I tried to get her to the hospital for the doctor to perform an emergency c-section but she didn't make it. Zach was so tore up about it, I had to make him forget. Now he's dead, Stefan's last descendant is dead. I failed him."

"No, if anyone failed your brother, it was Damon." Elena said as Naruto looked at her

"I need to show you something." Naruto said reaching into his pocket, and pulling out Katherine's tintype photograph

Elena looked at the photo in shock, before she looked at Naruto,

"Before you think, that I'm using you replace her, you need to understand that I'm not. Your not Katherine."

"Yeah, and when did you first figure that out?" Elena asked upset

"When I pulled you out of the car, and followed you for months." Naruto said causing Elena to look at him in shock

"Y-You were there?'

"Last spring, I was out in the woods, by old Wickery Bridge. And I heard the accident. All of it. I was fast getting there, but not fast enough. The car was already submerged. Your dad was still... he was still conscious. I was able to get to him, but he wouldn't let me help him, until I helped you." Naruto explained as Elena started crying

"Oh my god. When I woke up in the hospital, nobody could figure out how I got out of the car. They said it was a miracle." Elena said

"I went back for them. But it was too late. I couldn't save them. When I pulled you out, I looked at your face. You looked like Katherine. I couldn't believe the resemblance. After that, I spent months making sure that you weren't her. I watched you. I learned everything that I could about you. And I saw that you were nothing like Katherine. And I wanted to leave town, but, Elena, I couldn't. I couldn't leave without knowing you." Stefan said

"Why do I look like her?" Elena asked

"You were adopted." Naruto revealed causing Elena's eyes to widen "I don't know much, but Katherine before she was turned had a child. I don't know much but Grayson, and Miranda Gilbert are your parents they raised, clothed, and loved you so much so that they put your life above their own as any parent should. I don't care about Katherine or that your related to her, I love you."

Elena looked at Naruto and smiled softly before they kissed softly

Naruto and Elena left the cemetery, and stopped at a movie, cuddling, and making out to get their minds off the day, currently they were at the Grill outside eating "So if Katherine's my ancestor does that mean I'm half vampire?"

'Doesn't work that way. Vampire's can't procreate through normal means, she told me she had a baby before she was turned." Naruto said taking Elena's pickles and placing them in his burger "Can't believe you don't like pickles."

"How can you even eat, when your technically supposed to be dead?" Elena asked

"Well, as long as blood is in my system, my body functions normally." Naruto said smiling before they saw Matt pull up, looking around

Matt seeing the two frowned before he walked up to them "Hey have you seen Vick?"

"No, Matt what's wrong?" Elena asked

"She's really messed up, we were at your house, and this news story came on talking about some stoners who were killed last night before she ran off. I told Jeremy to stay at your place in case she came back." Matt said as Elena frowned and looked to Naruto

"We haven't seen her, but we'll call you." Naruto said

"Thanks." Matt nodded before getting back into his truck and leaving

"I'm going to go find her." Naruto said walking off, while Elena got into her car, and raced home

Later

Old Cemetery

Naruto walked through the woods to see Vicki sitting down, "Vicki." he called getting her attention she turned to him with tears streaming down her face

"I'm starting to remember things, what he is, what he said." she said as she stared at Naruto "I remember you. The hospital, t-the rooftop, it's all coming back." Vicki said

"I'm so sorry. Damon had no right to do this to you." Naruto apologized

"He said that I need to feed. What will happen if I don't?" Vicki asked

"You'll fade quickly...And then it'll all just be over." Naruto explained

"I'll be dead." Vicki said getting a nod she started to cry again

"Hey." Naruto said sitting down beside her

"I don't want this." Vicki sobbed

"I know. It'll be ok. You're gonna be ok." Naruto assured

"Is it better? Is it better? Will I be better?" Vicki asked

"There will be growing pains, but yes, you'll be better, you can be, and go wherever you want. I will help you alright, come on." Naruto said, before he looked up and ducked as Logan Fell walked into clearing shooting at him, rolling to the side, Naruto was about to kill the reporter when Damon sped in and fed on him, killing him

Naruto picked up the gun, and checked the clip to see the bullets were wood "It's wood, that means they know." Damon said before he shouted in pain as 4 gunshots sent him to his knees

"That was for Zach, and Vicki." Naruto said before he tossed Damon his ring and turned Vicki who he saw feeding on Logan "You done?"

"Yes." Vicki nodded before she took Naruto's hand, and he sped off with her, as Damon with a grunt pulled the final bullet out of his torso, before he placed on his ring and noticed a compass by Logan's hand, and picked it up before speeding away as Liz and her deputy arrived to see Logan

"Oh god…" Liz said softly before looking around "The watch. Find the watch." she ordered

Salvatore Boarding House

Naruto walked Vicki to the room she'll be staying in for a while "Why can't I go home?" Vicki asked

"Because, with your self control problems you'll kill Matt. Your life here is over, Vicki. If you go anywhere near Matt, or Jeremy, they could die, and you'll have to live with the guilt that you killed your brother, and the boy you love for all eternity." Naruto said as Vicki frowned

"So what am I supposed to do?" Vicki asked

"Where have you always wanted to go?" Naruto asked, causing Vicki to raise an eyebrow "Seriously if you can live any place in the world where would it be?"

"Paris." Vicki said

"Call Matt, tell him that a business woman whatever, who has been in your shoes wants to take you under her wing, and your going to be leaving Mystic Falls, and you don't think your coming back." Naruto said handing Vicki his phone "Tell Jeremy the same. I'll be back."

Naruto turned to leave, but Vicki caught his arm "Jeremy will follow me wherever I go."

"Break his heart." Naruto said causing Vicki to look at him wide eyed "It's for the best."

Vicki watched as Naruto left, as she walked into the room, before she called Matt, to tell him she'd be leaving and never coming back

Gilbert House

Elena was sitting on the porch, when she saw Naruto walking up "Did you find her?" Elena asked

"Damon turned her." Naruto said causing Elena's eyes to widen

"OH my god."

"It's okay, I'm going to teach her control, but her life here is over, she's calling Matt and telling him she's leaving town now." Naruto said

"Is she?" Elena asked

"Yes, on our way to the house, she cried about how her life was going no where and how pathetic she was, so I'm going to help her. Teach her how to protect herself, and to survive, before she leaves. I got to go."

"I love you." Elena said kissing Naruto softly as he smiled and left

3 Days Later

Elena had confronted Jenna about her adoption and Jenna was stumped for an answer so she and Elena had pretty much been avoiding each other,

Sheila had went to her ancestors death sight, where she began to channel their power for the upcoming full moon that was now weeks away,

With Naruto it had been an uphill battle with Vicki, she's learned compulsion, and to use her strength and speed, but her being a dope fiend made blood more troublesome for her to learn, but she was making progress although it was slow, she had told Matt the story lie Naruto came up with and he was understandably upset, but happy that she was getting help.

Jeremy was heartbroken, as she had text him saying that it was over, and he tried to call and text to apologize so Vicki would take him back, so she took it up a few steps, and forced Naruto to help, as if he didn't she'd escape and go to the Halloween party at the High school, which Naruto had to skip out on, so Jeremy was sent a text and a video file via email, in the text Vicki told him that she had moved on, and in the video file, was a sex tape between her and Naruto with Naruto's face and tattoos being kept out of the video,

Admittedly it went to far, as Jeremy was kinda a bitch, as Elena caught him trying to commit suicide, so he told her that Vicki broke up with him, and he had nothing to live for, so Damon who was at the party had compelled him to be okay with everything

Soon as midnight, came Naruto put Vicki on a private jet, with cash, clothes, blood bags, and anything she needed before he sent her off, him sleeping with Vicki will never be spoken of again, he didn't see why Jeremy and Tyler were so hung up on her, her pussy game wasn't hittin on shit, she could hardly suck dick, whatever they saw in her it wasn't sexual.

Currently Naruto was walking to the bar, to get a drink when he heard a roar, and turned to a dragon made of water as it slammed into him, sending him crashing into a wall, before a whip made of white flames, caught his ankle and slammed him into the ceiling and he was dragged back into a beautiful blonde woman who dismissed the whip, grabbed his neck and slammed him into the wall

"Uh, your getting more brutal, Lexi." Naruto groaned as he looked to his best friend

"Well what's the point of you teaching me these cool tricks if I can't really have fun with them." Lexi smirked as Naruto chuckled, before he pulled her into a heated kiss, causing her to moan, before she pulled back "Happy Birthday."

Later

Giggling, and moaning could be heard under Naruto's sheets, before wthe sheet was thrown back, as a nude Lexi straddled Naruto "Stop. I don't know, some freak shot at me with wooden bullets. I bail in under sixty. And why is a news reporter hunting vampires?" Lexi asked as Naruto sat up and kissed her

"He's part of that old Council I told you about, they've been on high alert since Damon showed up." Naruto said

"Why stay?" Lexi asked before lightning surrounded her, and in combination with her vamp speed in a matter of seconds she had her bra, and blouse on with her hair in a ponytail "I'm headed to New York for the weekend. Bon Jovi in the Garden. "Wanted dead or alive", it's our theme song. It'll be a blast." Lexi said as Naruto pointed up where she saw her thong on the chandelier

"Do you think he would actually remember us? That was a pretty crazy weekend huh?" Naruto asked putting on his pants

"We can make him remember us. Come on! Let's go. I mean, what's keeping you here?" Lexi asked as she put on her thong,

"Get into that later, but it does sound fun. I promised Bonnie, and Elena to take them to Beyoncé's upcoming concert out there anyway."

"Yes!" Lexi cheered before she said "So dating best friends huh? Last time it was twins."

"Well officially as far as this town is concerned I'm just a single new guy, whose caught the attention of some very beautiful people." Naruto said before he grabbed Lexi, and pushed her into a wall, looking at her as she basked in the sunlight, before he kissed her softly

"So what's been eating you?" Lexi asked suddenly having noticed a glint in Naruto's eyes

"Sheila, wants to make me an Original Vampire." Naruto revealed causing Lexi's eyes to widen

"Why would she want that?"

"The Originals come for Elena, and Bonnie gets in the it."

"Why would the Mikaelson's come for-" Lexi stopped and looked Naruto in the eye "No, no no!" Lexi pushed Naruto back "The Petrova doppelganger is here, and your screwing her?"

"I don't give a rats ass about the sun and the moon curse. I don't owe the Originals anything, I'll protect Elena, and Bonnie from whatever it is that has Sheila so afraid." Naruto said before he walked up to Lexi "I want you to participate in the ritual with me."

"What?" Lexi asked

"Lexi, I've know you since I turned. You've been the one constant that I could depend on. You've pulled me from the brink over and over again, I would still be that monster, if it wasn't for you. If I become an Original, my bloodlust will grow even more intense, and when I inevitably lose control you need to be there to pull me back."

"...Fine." Lexi sighed kissing Naruto's cheek as he smiled, before he gripped his jaw "But your going to owe me."

Bonnie's House

Elena was sitting on the bed, as Bonnie was packing her overnight bag, they were going to New York with Naruto, and his friend Lexi,

"I mean, she was just going to snatch it from my neck."

"It's Caroline, Bonnie." Elena said

"No, this is different, I let the fact she's had this smug air about her when she slept with Naruto, but something is off." Bonnie replied "We need to get her some vervain, she could've been compelled right?

"It's a possibility. We can ask Naruto, but maybe you guys can make up on our way to New York?"

"She's not coming, she's throwing some party at the Grill." Bonnie said causing Elena to sigh

"Well when we get back then." Elena said

"Speaking of making up, you talk to Jenna?"

"No, we haven't seen much of each other." Elena said sighing as she laid back on the bed "I just don't want to think about it."

"Well, luckily we're going to put a few hundred miles between us, and our problems."

Later

Naruto, and Lexi was sitting at the house, talking when Damon walked in "So have you guys heard about this party Caroline's throwing at the grill?" he asked

"Yeah, but we have plans." Naruto said

"Aw, come on Naruto, all your friends will be there, besides we need to blend." Damon said

"Sorry, but we're headed for New York, I guess you'll have to blend for us." Naruto said putting on his backpack as Bonnie, and Elena entered "Ready?"

"Oh yeah." Bonnie/ Elena smiled as they had their overnight bags

"Alright, Bonnie, Elena, meet Alexia Branson, my best friend for 549 years." Naruto smiled

Lexi smiled and shook the girls hands "Hi, call me Lexi." she said

"Nice to meet you." Elena smiled politely as Lexi looked to Bonnie

"You look just like your Grams."

"You know my Grams?" Bonnie asked

"Oh yeah. I was the first vampire she ever meet."

Flashback, 1969

Naruto raised an eyebrow at Sheila before he asked "Sheila Bennett, you wouldn't happen to be from Mystic Falls by any chance would you?"

"How? How do you know that?" Sheila asked surprised

"I used to live there." Naruto smiled before he asked "Is your mother here, I should say hello"

"Well..."

'Does your mother know that your here?" Naruto asked with a raised eyebrow

"Not exactly."

Naruto sighed "Well I hadn't planned on visiting in a while, but come on, I give you a ride home."

"Wait, how could you be friends with my mother, when you're only a couple of years older than me?" Sheila asked

"Should we tell her?" Lexi asked

"Are you high?" Naruto asked raising an eyebrow

"Probably." Lexi shrugged

"She ran away, and you know how mad Amelia gets well about everything." Naruto said

"Your right we should get you home." Lexington replied turning to Sheila

"I can get home on my own."

"Your mom is only going to get angrier the longer,"

"Come on, Naruto has sweet ride, we'll be back in Mystic Falls in no time." Lexi smiled interrupting Naruto

Later

Naruto's, car sped down highway, as Lexington pouted in the backseat, while Sheila ate chips "I can't believe you made me miss Hendrix." Lexi said

"We'll see him some other time." Naruto said causing Lexi to huff

"I would've stayed if you had let me." Sheila said

"You know how your mom gets." Naruto replied

"I know right!?" Sheila huffed

"For the record, I'm not going to be there when you talk to her, this easy your idea, Naruto." Lexi smirked as Naruto sighed

Later

Naruto pulled up in front of the house, "Alright, you girls stay here, while I try to diffuse," Naruto stopped talking as a beautiful woman stormed out of the house

"Sheila is that you?!" asked Amelia Bennett (Sanaa Lathan) before she saw Naruto get out the car

"Hello, Ameila. It's been a while." Naruto smiled

"Naruto? What're you doing with Sheila?" Amelia asked

"I can explain,"

"Hi Ameila!" Lexi waved excitedly

"Everyone get in this house now!" Amelia ordered sternly

Kitchen

Naruto, Lexi, and Sheila were at the table as Amelia handed out cups of tea "The Founder's council has been on alert, since that business with Zachariah."

"Great." Naruto sighed

"It's not safe for you here, if they find o-"

'They won't, Lexi, and I will be staying for a few days." Naruto smiled "I've been trying out some...uh...new dietary techniques."

"About time, sick of covering for your ass." Amelia smiled causing Naruto to scoff

Later

Naruto and Amelia were now alone in the kitchen, sharing a glass of wine "Can't believe it's been that long."

"Yep, since before Sheila was born." Amelia smiled

"What happened to her father?" Naruto asked

"Left as soon as he found out what I was."

'Did he now, I'll pay him a visit." Naruto nodded causing Amelia to giggle, before she kissed him, and pulled back

"My hero."

"You deserve to be happy."

"So do you your life is harder than most." Amelia said before she kissed Naruto again, and he placed his glass down, and hugged her close, his hands caressing her body gently before coming down to grip her ass, as he lifted her up and sat her on the table, the two began to get lost in each other

2 Hours Later

Sheila had been showing Lexi all her stuff, happy to have a new friend, before she began to get ready for bed, currently she was brushing her teeth "So how do you guys know my mom, you never told me?"

"Well that's a long story." Lexi said as she listened to Sheila's Hendrix album, before she stood up from the bed, and walked over to Sheila "But the short version is: You know how you and your mother are witches."

Sheila's eyes widened before she turned to Lexi whose face was vamped out "Well, we're Vampires!"

Downstairs

Naruto, and Amelia were on the couch cuddling when they shot up hearing Sheila's scream, and quickly Ameila grabbed her dress and threw it on, while Naruto redressed and sped up stairs

Naruto entered to see Sheila, and Lexi on the ground laughing

"That's so trippy!" Sheila said laughing

"I know right." Lexi giggled as Naruto sighed

End Flashback

Naruto, and the girls left, much to Damon's annoyance, he had planned to kill Lexi to hurt Naruto, and get in good with the council after he supplied them with vervain, but he was forced to improvise, so he killed a woman, and turned her boyfriend before staking the boy, and calling the Sheriff for help.

Naruto, and the girls had a wonderful time, out in New York going to the Bin Jovi concert that Friday night and partying with the band, before on that Saturday going to Beyonce's concert, where he introduced the girls to his progeny. He had noticed that the girls were more comfortable with him, which was a good thing in his book, and on Sunday morning when he woke up with the four beautiful women, he took the girls shopping and before he Elena, and Bonnie returned to Mystic Falls.
