Summary;Ino never believed in Vampires until her life changed in a matter of a week.

It was a normal day in the large city of Konoha's suburbs though it was still a long time till the sun would rise.

Ino was on her normal rout to school; go across the street, turn left at the stop sign, go to Sasuke's house, wait for twenty min for him to finish combing his hair until it's impossibly perfect, walk to school with Sasuke.

Ino was so into her routine she was totally blanking out the whole way, staring at the ground. (oh and every one knows that's always a good idea...)

Ino felt her cheeks get red, she was almost at the Uchiha's house.

Her mind drifted to Sasuke's older brother.

He was the main reason she became friends with Sasuke, to get closer to his brother.

She became a deeper shade of red seeing him in her mind.

Ino had had a crush on the older Uchiha since she was very young.

Ino looked up in determination, looping her thumbs in her straps of her back pack.

As she walked through the steel gate leading to his house.

She began to stare at a pebble on the ground that had become very interesting.

(not really folks..)

She looked up just in time to bump into who would have guessed it?!

"Itachi.." Ino said as she looked up at him, she had fallen over.

He looked down on her, the shadow of his bangs made him look sooo cool...

He walked to her with a friendly smile,

"Ino I'm so sorry. It was my fault."

He said smiling, lending her a hand that she took gratefully.

Just then Sasuke came through the front door, catching her attention.

"Hey, Ino." Sasuke greeted her, she gave him a little smile.

She looked to her side again, Itachi wasn't there.

She turned as she heard the gate squeak, she clutched her hands together at her chest, hearts in her eyes.

Sasuke glanced at Itachi who was proceeding out the gate.

"Come on Ino.." He said noticing her dreamy stare,

Sasuke cared about her a lot, she just never noticed him because she was blinded by the star that is his brother..

Sasuke didn't like Itachi around Ino but he and his brother were really close so it was hard to find a moment when Ino was there and Itachi wasn't too.

You see Itachi's and Sasuke's parents were killed in a freak 'accident' (no comment..).

Sasuke gets many female visitors and his brother, not so much but he did have the one Sasuke liked the most..

Sasuke had a Fan club 137 girls strong.

Sasuke hated them all, except three.

Ino was his favorite, then Ten-Ten, and Temari.

All those girls were best friends, they even had a reserved spot next to him in the lunch room since all his fangirls would kill just to sit next to him at lunch.

Sakura was on his left at the end of the table.

She was very pushy and didn't like the thought of other girls getting with Sasuke.

Ino sat across from Sasuke, Temari at his left, ten-ten next to Ino.

The rest were lucky just to sit on the floor next to him.

Ino and Sasuke had arrived at school followed by their usual crowd of Fans.

Sakura was clutching a very annoyed Sasuke's arm.

Ino and Sasuke were finally able to shake of the band of bloodthirsty FanGirls.

Ino arrived at her locker breathing heavily, Ino was strong and the fastest girl in school but she had very low endurance.

Sasuke's locker was beside hers, he leaning against it coolly and calmly,

giving her a weird look.

"You really should run more often.."

Sasuke said opening his locker.

Ino slide down against hers, sweating.

"I run every day I'm with you.." She breath looking at him through the corner of her eye, she was the only one in the world who could talk to him like that without being glared at.

Sasuke was the fittest and strongest guy in school, Ino thought it was probably because he had to fend of rabid fangirls every day.

Ino smiled at the thought of a drooling FanGirl clinging to him and him trying to pry her of.

Ino finally had enough breath to get up and grab her books.

The intercom buzzed as they heard Tsunade's voice come on.

"Good morning student's, welcome to another Day in Konoha High, today we will be having Pizza.."

There was a clicking sound as she finished.

Ino made her way to class with out much difficulty.

Her first class was probably the worst and at the absolutely worst time of day.

Gym..

She would have to go around with her hair messed up and not as sweet smelling as before...

Ino groaned as her teacher Guy Sensei held up a dodge ball...

End of Day

Sasuke was waiting for her in the schools courtyard.

Ino loved that spot and Sasuke new it, she loved to look at the flowers.

Ino arrived at the meeting point surprised.

"Wow Sasuke no rabid FanGirls?" Ino said sarcastically walking up to him and giving him a playful smile.

He didn't answer and casually changed the subject.

"Hey Ino, Itachi and his friends are throwing a party at my house, I don't want to be the only sane on there, you wanna come?"

He asked keeping his eyes foreword while he walked.

Ino jumped at the chance at being at Sasuke's house.

She wasn't usually allowed in.

"Sure Sasuke!" Ino said a little more enthusiastically then she wanted but that seemed to make Sasuke happy that she was excited about being with him.

"What time?" Ino asked, Sasuke's smile grew even more.

"Right now.." He said simply.

Ino blinked a few times.

"Ok... I'll just go ho-" Ino wasn't able to finish because he cut her of.

"It's fine, besides we still have to write that essay on our thoughts about 'The Black Flash'."

Sasuke and Ino had the same English.

'Konoha's Black Flash' had been an Uchiha and Sasuke was excited about learning about an ancestor.

Itachi, Sasori, Deidara, Hidan and Pein were in The Akatsuki Gang.

Ino hadn't learned much about it, She had heard of Pein but had never seen him.

The entire gang would be at Sasuke's house and Ino was looking foreword to seeing The mysterious leader.

outside Sasuke's House

Ino and Sasuke stood out side said Sasuke's house.

Ino was standing with her jaw dropped, Sasuke had this look -.-

The house looked like crap!

You could see colored lights flashing from inside the mansion, toilet paper hung in the trees bare.

Crushed soda cans in the flower beds.

Ino was looking at the poor wilted and trampled flowers that she had planted herself, she kept look between the flowers and the Sakura tree she had nursed back to health and transplanted to Sasuke's yard.

Ino sniffled a bit.

It was dusk and the sun was setting on the chilly September night.

Ino shivered a bit, Sasuke saw that and gave her his jacket.

Ino smiled as he wrapped it around her and they walked in together.

Ino's jaw dropped again as she saw the state the house was in.

It looked even worse then the outside did!!

Sasuke copied her expression, the lights would have blinded him easily but he really didn't care.

Ino put a hand up to shield her eyes as she glanced around the room.

Sasuke stayed in his state of aw.

Ino looked in the corner where she saw Itachi.

She had a big smile and was about to run but stopped in her tracks.

Beside Itachi,

was a very familiar person...

"Sakura..."
