A/N: Ahh! A vamp fic?! (not that there isn't already hundreds of them or anything…) But I can assure you this isn't your normal supernatural fic. (well I hope not.)
WARNING: Holy damn… longest freaking chapter I ever wrote!!
That is all..

The rose blossom ..

She was excited.
"Oh my god… I cannot believe I got in! Wow! I'm going to Juuken! Look mom!! I got accepted into Juuken Academy!!..."
Definitely.
And at the same time, drowning in anxiety.
She couldn't deny that.
The gates were tall and majestic. And she watched silently as the people started to peel into the exclusive grounds. She couldn't believe such a landmark building, with such medieval architecture existed in the middle of Tokyo. Lofty castle like structures stood above the horizon, the sun streaming down on it almost sacredly.
White banners were raised high, proudly blowing with the breeze.
Sakura hated first days. She always seemed to give the worst first impressions. But here she was, standing at the entrance of one of the most prestigious schools Japan had to offer.
As she walked in, she couldn't help but be amazed at the structural design. It was magnificent. But a slight contrast to the modern uniform she had on. It was the usual sailor style, Japanese uniform. White t-shirt with a navy blue collar over a thick silver ribbon tied in a long bow at the front. The school emblem stitched proudly on her left chest and both sleeves. Under it was a short, navy blue tartan skirt, with thin pleats. She chose to wear white knee high socks and the school V-neck sweater vest.
As she walked into the school, they stared at her. She already felt out of place. This was going to be different.
It was odd. She had finally noticed. The majority of the student body was striking looking. The girls, she realized, had amazing eyes, rosy full lips, high cheek bones and their skin, flawless porcelain. But it wasn't just their similar and yet distinctly different characteristics that she wondered about. It was the way they carried themselves and the elegant and classy air that seemed to ooze from them.
She was never one to get intimidated by physical impressions, but something was telling her she should be aware.
Their eyes searched her. Hoping to find something and when they couldn't they looked straight through her, as if they never noticed she was there in the first place. Those were the ones with a gold ribbon, not silver, tied under their collars. The others, with silver ribbons like herself, gave her small, albeit sympathetic smiles as she passed them.
Welcome to Juuken Academy.
Finally, Sakura found her way to the administration block.

"This is unbelievable!" A young girl huffed out with an annoyed scowl on her face. "I can't believe another human has gotten accepted here." the compliant girl was stunning looking. Long raven tresses framing either side of her face. She had eyes as pale and pretty as the moon.
"You're so right Hanabi-sama!" a taller girl agreed with her friend.
"We don't want them here!" Another snobby girl said.
"Soon they're going to over populate us?! What are the elders thinking!" another one screeched out, madly.
"We should talk to your father about this. More and more keep coming. Even Mangekyou has a higher percentage than us!" Another immediately informed.
"Well, I guess its fine," She snorted with laughter, "We'll just make her drop out like the other girls…" A girl from before added.
"Keep it down, you guys. Someone might hear you." An older, more sensible girl with her brunette hair in buns, stood with her arms crossed leaning coolly against the wall.
"Tenten!" Hanabi reasoned, "Don't you care at all?"
The matured one of the group sighed.
"Of course I do," She propped herself off the wall. "But whining about it here won't do anyone any good."
"I guess so…" She reluctantly agreed.
"We'll just have to—"
Dun dun dun dun dun dun dun…
The school bell rang, cutting the girls short.
"You girls should get to class." A soft voice came from beside Tenten.
"Hinata-san." A student greeted casually.
"We don't need you to tell us that nee-san." Hanabi said lightly, turning her head away.
"Hanabi!" Tenten scold.
"Let's go guys." She told her followers and disappeared from the seen.
When Hanabi left, Hinata cast her eyes down sadly.
"I don't think I'll I'll e-ever..." She sighed.
"Hinata-sama, you are as important to the clan as Hanabi-sama."
"Ten-chan, you know I-I don't like it when you use that suffix on me." She said in a small voice.
"Yeah, yeah. C'mon, we have classes too." The bun haired girl smiled and dragged the timid girl to class.
-
-
"Hanabi-sama! Look!" Someone yelled, "It's her! The new girl!"
"So it is…" She pondered out loud.
"Let's give her the official Juuken welcome." Another follower's eyes gleamed evilly; her lips curved cruelly and widely, fangs almost showing.
The pink haired girl was oblivious to the group that scrutinized her.
"Hey pinky," one of them finally walked up to her and sighed disapprovingly at the rest of the gang.
She had an inkling of what they wanted from her.
"Looks like the schools accepted another lowly human."
She bit her lip.
'Let it go. Let it go...'
There was also that one bunch of girls or guys that thought they were top shit and were out to torment you, the newbie to the school.
Sakura clenched her fists. And hoped to god, she wouldn't have to smash it into anyone's face on her first day of school.
She stood defiantly, her head in the air.
"And what's it to you blacky?"
The girl smirked. Looks like the pinky's got some fire, she liked that. Kin licked her lips. She did like some fiery blood.
"Kin! Don't even think about it." Hanabi called out immediately seeing the look on Kin's face.
"Yeah yeah," She waved her off.
"If you'll excuse me, I have classes to get to…" Sakura started walking away through the group, but suddenly, someone moved impossibly fast. She blocked her way and caused the two of them to collide, both falling over onto the ground.
"Watch where you're going!" Hanabi yelled like it was Sakura's fault. The cherry girl's face scrunched up in disgust.
'That was cheap!'
"Well maybe if you weren't moving so fast you would know that was your fault." She seethed, getting up and brushing the back of her skirt.
"How dare you?! Do you have any idea who you're talking to?!" someone screeched out in disbelief.
Sakura really wasn't in the mood for this.
"Yeah, some idiot that likes to bump into other people and pretend it wasn't their fault."
The surrounding people gasped in astonishment.
Hanabi's eyes narrowed.
"How dare you."
By now a crowd had gathered.
"Looks like you need to learn the ropes around here."
As Hanabi walked towards Sakura, she stepped back.
"Lesson one, don't mess with a Hyuuga."
Sakura braced herself, she knew what was coming, and she raised her arms in a defensive position. Hanabi moved in an inhuman speed. Pushing Sakura and causing her to stagger backwards. She made another move, again with swift timing. Emerald eyes widened, she didn't have time to block. The Hyuuga girl landed a powerful punch in the pink haired's abdomen. Her face scrunched up in pain and immediately her arms wrapped themselves around her stomach. She got winded.
"Ha-Hanabi!" Hinata called when she finally saw what all the commotion was about.
"W-what are you doing!?" Even when she was angry, she couldn't show it every well or without some hint of uncertainty. "St-stop it. R-right now!"
Sakura's teary emerald eyes opened. The girl that was standing up for her and her attacker looked oddly alike. Her eyes met the similar pleasant allure, moon like eyes and porcelain skin.
"Neesan," Hanabi narrowed her eyes, "Mind your own business."
'That's her older sister...?'
"Y-you c-can't j-just—" Hinata began again, but was interrupted.
"This is none of your concern!"
"Hanabi! Don't talk to her like that!" Tenten reprimand.
"That's enough." A loud commanding voice captured everyone's attention.
All eyes went to the boy a boy standing amidst crowd of male and females students, all of whom wore gold ribbons.
"Neji nii-sama," to Sakura's surprise the proud girl slightly bowed down before the said person.
"Leave her." The man named Neji said, without so much as a glance at her. Much like the most of them, Sakura noted, Neji was outstanding looking. Profound moonlit eyes, definitely a family trait, and long dark hair tied behind his back. His features were prominent and toned. He had a strong jaw line.
And that's when finally, she knew who they were.
"Hyuuga." She whispered when her breathing began to regulate again. She knew they ruled over the school.
"About time you realize." She heard someone say in contempt.
Taking a deep breath, the pink head girl stood up defiantly, something burning in her emerald eyes.
"I don't care who you are."
She spoke firmly, her gaze on everyone unwavering. She shook her head hesitantly. Her hands were clenched. She snorted, with mock amusement.
"You won't make me drop out."
'Hyuuga Hanabi. Hyuuga Neji.'
It was then; he turned, and looked at her. His eyes full of curiosity. And when there was nothing else to say, he merely nodded his head and everyone wordlessly cleared the area.
"H-hi!" someone called out to her.
She looked to where the voice came from and met a set of pearl eyes.
"A Hyuuga." She said out load. The eyes were a big giveaway. It was the same girl that defended her before.
"Please don't look at her like that," The brown haired girl with buns next to her spoke, "She's not like the other Hyuugas."
"I know." To Tenten and Hinata's amazement, white teeth flashed before them, "Thank you." Sakura said, honestly.
Hinata shook her head, a faint blush starting to appear on her face.
"W-we di-didn't do a-anything!"
Sakura opened her mouth to protest, but was interrupted.
"She's right, man, you're one tough chic," Tenten whistled lowly, "Take on Hyuuga Hanabi like that... Did you see the way Neji was looking at you..." Tenten grinned.
"Heh," she could only say, and it was a pleasing one.
"T-this c-could b-be a-a-a st-start o-f a gr-great fr-friendship, i-if y-you w-would li-like..." The meek girl stated with a small smile. Sakura could already tell this Hyuuga was a really sweet girl.
Tenten looked at Hinata as if she was insane. "Are you sure you wanna be friends with a 'lowly human'?" She mocked one of the Hanabi's follower's words and earned a teasing glare from Sakura.
All they did was look at each other and laughed.
And the funny thing was...
She noted.
We don't even know each other's name...
Which was true, but then again...
What's in a name..?
-

-
Two days went by surely, but slowly. It went on without any drama, she avoided Hanabi like a plague and she hadn't seen Neji since the incident on her first day.
Juuken had not been what she expected. It wasn't so much the school that she didn't really like, but the student body and the way they treated each other. Juuken was no doubt a mysterious school that definitely stroked her insatiable curiosity. There was little she had learnt about the school, and so much more she could end up finding out. And she will find out.
She had decided to take a different route home today, mainly because she couldn't find the school's front gate. She involuntarily decided to go out the back way. Not a lot of students were seen here. Maybe it was a forbidden area. But she didn't know for sure. She managed her way out of the peculiar path at the back of the school and over the small hill.
She gasped at what she saw.
The first thing she saw was a vast open land and then the endless trail of roses. They were in full bloom. Whilst she could see other colours in between, most of them were of deep red or pure white. They mingled together delicately as if there were no contradiction between the two colours. She was stunned at the sight.
It was amazing!
There was an aged and ruined path. But she could still make out the way. The demolished path was between two never ending line of rose bushes. She looked up to find frail arches lining over the path. Those, she assume, once sturdy arches, was now held up by veins of flowers that had long ran out of place to bloom.
And before even she herself knew it, she found herself following the path to nowhere.
It was odd. Everything seemed almost ancient. Like no one had been in that place for centuries!
Dead wooden gazebos were seen from afar. There were more arches and remnants of beautiful structures and remarkable, albeit weird, statues.
This was the biggest contradiction she'd ever seen.
Everything was dead. And, yet she felt life pulsing through her as she walked further into its depths unaware of everything but the picturesque moment that painted around her.
The path had end, she was no longer walking under the row of arches or between the lines of roses.
Her hair flickered in the wind as it rushed past her. Strong breezes were starting to pick up, but she stood there oblivious to all the petals that danced around her. She stared at the sea of beauty as the golden light highlighted everything, making it look more breathtaking.
That's when he noticed her.
And...
That's when she noticed him.
Amongst the tall green grass, he slept with his hands behind her head and his legs crossed.
It was only supposed to be a glance, but immediately, it upgraded into a long stare.
He was eerily beautiful. He was almost too frighteningly good looking for a male. His complexion was light. And it contrasted beautifully with his messy dark locks. And there was something about his onyx eyes. They were a deep nothingness, empty. But at the same time intense and captivating enough to suck her in from the moment she gazed at them. His prominent nose and toned features accentuated his striking demeanor. There was a blank expression on his devastatingly attractive face.
His eyes lingered on her. He had never seen cherry blossom locks before. But more important than that...
He had never seen anyone... here before.
She stood there slightly in a daze, staring back at him. Her eyes were green, just green. But, there was something about them. He didn't know, but perhaps it was the way they sparkled with emotions he couldn't comprehend.
The serene moment was gone when Sasuke recognized her uniform.
"Juuken." He sneered with distaste.
What is she doing here...
She had gotten closer to him, thinking of asking him a way out of there. But when she got close enough, he stood up. His callous words had stopped her in her tracks. His peaceful exterior had suddenly changed. And she wasn't sure why or how.
"You're not supposed to be here," He spoke authoritatively, coldly to her, his eyes narrowed.
Oh God… His voice…
Her eyebrows furrowed. "Oh yeah," she tested defiantly, "By who?"
"Me." He replied immediately. His voice was like liquid velvet.
... It definitely did justice for his face. He had one of the best voices she had ever heard.
She snorted unladylike. Her eyebrows rose as she crossed her hands stubbornly.
"And who are you?" She questioned mockingly, "My mother?"
"No." His tone had gotten when more chilly. For a moment she swore she had witnessed his eyes flashing red. "Much worst."
A shiver ran down her spine at his cruel tone. His deep, sensual voice, it frightened her.
Onyx clashed with emerald. Neither one of them was willing to back down. Neither of them moved. Both were oblivious to the strong winds that surrounded them. The sun was setting along the golden horizon. Petals and bits of nature flew around them in havoc. If there had been a different mood in the atmosphere, she thought, this would seemed like it had came out of some cliché romance scene.
The way he stared at her with hate and contempt was unnerving.
It wasn't fair!
He didn't know her! How can he already judge her like that?
"What are you doing here?" he asked emotionlessly. Never taking his eyes off her.
Sakura was mesmerized and she didn't even know it. His insanely captivating eyes bore through her soul. She couldn't look away. She couldn't move away.
"…I don't know…" She finally managed to whisper.
Sasuke's eyes went to her collar, she noticed. Following his gaze, she looked down also. That's when she noticed her silver school ribbon was missing. Her hand instinctively went to her chest.
"My ribbon…" She murmured.
"What colour is it?" She looked up, startled at his sudden interest.
"What?" She asked confusedly. "Why does it matter?"
"What colour is it." He demanded, almost threateningly.
"Well why do you want to know?" She stubbornly persisted.
Again, his eyes flashed red.
He moved closer to her. And when he was close enough, he grabbed a handful of her soft hair, playfully fingering the ends. He bent down to her ear. She flushed at their closeness and his sudden touch. She felt him taking a whiff of her.
Get away. Get away. Get away. Get away. Get a—
"What colour?" He whispered huskily, seductively in her ear. His breath sent unnervingly pleasant shivers down her spine. She was tingling all over. She felt her cheeks burn more and couldn't stop herself from replying...
"S-silver," She managed to stutter out.
He smirked wickedly at her answer. He took another whiff of her. She was putty in his hands. Like most women were if he ever gave them that kind of attention.
He quickly pulled back and let go of her pink strands, realizing his mistake.
Sasuke's eyes darkened.
She smelt delicious. Sweet and fiery. Almost intoxicating.
"Do you know who I am?" He asked, in a strange tone, easily hiding his desire.
The pink haired girl shook her head. Her eyes unconsciously searched him, for any hints. He was in, what looked like to be his school uniform. But it was then she noticed.
That emblem.
The one stitched under his left collar.
Her eyes widened in shock.
"Mangekyou Academy." She whispered in alarm, stepping away from him. She'd heard stories about them. Not many, but enough for her to be scared and worried, if she ever stood face to face with one, like now.
Fact 1 – Mangekyou Academy is the rivaling school—scratch that—enemy school of Juuken Academy.
Fact 2 – They have been in a feud for centuries, dating back to when both schools were founded.
Fact 3 – If students from either school trespasses on the enemy's territory, there will be a servere punishment.
Fact 4 – All Mangekyou students were vicious. Especially when—
"You're afraid." He interrupted her thoughts, smirking sinisterly.
She had to think for a moment. Those silly facts. That's what she was told to believe. But she was never one to trust just anyone. She'd have to see for herself to believe, with that thought in her mind she replied.
"No. I'm not." His emotion went blank again when he surprisingly saw a smile playing at her lips.
"Well you should be." He warned her lowly, meaning it in every sense of his words.
"…" She was silent for a moment before she spoke again, "Am I trespassing?"
"Thought you said you weren't scared." He snorted.
"I'm not… I'm just… curious…"
He shook his head. She wasn't sure what for. But then he answered her.
"This." He motioned his head to their scenic surroundings. "Is common grounds."
"Oh…" Her eyes brightened up. "So both schools share it?" There was something hopeful in her voice.
Sasuke shook his head again.
"No we don't share it." He looked at her incredulously.
"Well you still can't… you know…" She saw that his expression hadn't changed and quickly added, "Well, since you know, I'm not… trespassing…so you…can't…" she trailed off.
"Is that what they teach you at Juuken." He scoffed glaring at her.
"Teach me what?" She asked innocently, although she really did understand the meaning behind his words.
"Hn."
"So… if this is common ground. Why is no one ever here?"
He smirked down at her. Her eyes were silently daring him to tell her something she didn't already know.
"We are here." There was something abut his husky voice. She was staring to melt all over again. Cheeks tinted pink.
That's when she decided. "I have to go…" She will not be seduced or be belittled by some stranger. "… but I'm not sure I know how."
Sasuke looked over to another path to their left.
"Just follow that."
"Okay…"
He stepped closer to her.
"Name."
" …Haruno." She began reluctantly. "Haruno Sakura."
He smirked wickedly as he bent his head down to whisper in her ears again.
"Well Haruno Sakura," His breath tickled her neck, much like it did before. "I hope you survive Juuken." She again, blushed at his closeness. And gasped when she felt his cool lips pressed against the side of her neck. Suppressing a squeal she blushed harder, scolding herself for not doing anything about the warm tongue that licked her flesh. But as soon as it came, it went.
And soon after turning his back to her, he went. She assumed, back to his school and she stood there in a hopeless daze, wondering if she'd ever see him again.
Uchiha Sasuke's eyes glowered. If he hadn't controlled himself… He would've… and to some silver ribbon Juuken girl too!
He frowned at himself. His eyes flickered red. This time they stayed like that.
She smelled so sweet.
He clenched his fists.
It was time to feed.

The next day...
"Sakura-chan!"
The last bell had gone, and like everyday, Hinata would call out to say goodbye to her.
"Hey guys," She greeted with a smile.
"How was your last class?" Tenten asked conversationally.
"It was kinda boring…" Sakura's nose scrunched up into a displeased look.
Tenten grinned.
"Like every class in this god forsaken school…"
She said to no one in particular but made Sakura giggle at her comment.
"You wanna hang out this afternoon…?" Tenten offered with a smile. "Hinata and I are going to go out for late lunch and stuff…"
She thought for a moment, she saw the look of uncertainty flash on Hinata's face and finally decided.
"No thanks guys, I kinda had something I wanted to do today."
"Oh. Well, okay. Sure. We'll see you tomorrow then."
They made their farewells and left. Sakura however, only turned and went straight to the school library, which stayed open till pretty late at night. It acted more like a resource centre for student's to use after school hours than anything else.
Before she entered, she looked back, wondering if he would be there today, and if she should see if he was. She had honestly not stop thinking about the mysterious man since they met yesterday.
Inner: You didn't even get his name you stupid girl!
Shaking her head at her sudden interest she walked in.
She sat down in a secluded area. Sakura flipped out her small black book. She liked to psychoanalyze everything. The black book was, well, not so much a diary, but a significant part of her life. Since she was little, she would fill up pages on end with random thoughts, curiosities or sometime even little hazy stories that were locked in her sub consciousness. Stories, even she didn't know anymore, if they were once reality or part of a dream. The black book of endless pages was a secret she kept, between her and her inner self.
She pulled out a pen. And began to write…
This is what she figured out so far.
Juuken Academy
The school student body is divided into 2 categories.
Elites and Non-elites
More easily known as "Gold ribbon" or "Silver ribbon"
Gold Ribbons (Stupid snobby bitches, excluding some people)
Get more privileges.
The ones that didn't get into the school with a scholarship.
Rich, influential (of some kind) families.
Wants less Silver Ribbons.
She added.
They are of falsely superior, think-they-are-supernatural and an inhuman race that plan to rule over the human kind with their tyrannical and absurd ways.
She smirked a little before shaking her head and stroked out the stupid words with a single straight line.
Silver Ribbons (are as stupid in the figurative sense, excluding some people)
Average students.
Picked on by Gold ribbons.
Frequently dropped out.
Clueless.
Hyuuga Clan
Is in control of the school. Founding Family of the Academy.
Heir…
This was the bit that perked her interest.
Heiress… Currently, well, is supposed to be Hyuuga Hinata. However, and for what ever reason, she is somewhat neglected by both branches of the family. So they turned to Hyuuga Hanabi, Hinata's younger sister. But, even then, it seems, Hyuuga Neji, the girls' cousin, would be their next heir or leader…
She absolutely hated the way Hanabi and Neji treated Hinata. She didn't know what made Hinata so inadequate to lead the family but she wanted to find out. Sakura had never met anyone with so much power and was yet so timid and easily intimidated, and for most part, by her own family. It was no doubt, the way they have treated Hinata that has shaped her into this unsure and vulnerable girl today. The bell from the clock tower rang and jolted her out from her book realm.
"Shit! Mom's gonna kill me..."
She quickly flipped her book closed, grabbed her bag and shoved everything in and ran out of there.
Inside...
Mangekyou Academy
Was underlined and left unfinished in her bag.
-
-
She was walked through the school aimlessly. There were so many corridors, halls and building blocks. She couldn't find her way out. It was getting dark. The school almost looked different as the day faded and night started to appear. The chilly winds blew past the thin material of her uniform. The ancient school was starting to look like as if it was from some horror painting. Dark, eerie shadows formed at every corner. She was lost.
'Oh my… you're lost, how can you be lost?!'
'Easy. Big, big place with lots of buildings. Don't know where to go. That's how.'
'That question was rhetorical.'
'Well then why didn't you say so?'
'You're insane.'
'This coming from the one who is talking to themselves.'
'I stand by what I said. You. Are. Insane.'
'Well you're me. So shut up.'
She had an inner-persona.
And she found out when she was younger. The habit did creep her out at first but over the years she got over the initial weirdness. Now she talked to herself like it was normal. She didn't know what the voice inside her head was. But it was most likely her inner voice was more or less, her conscience or more so an inner monologue. Part of the reason she made the black book was because it was a way to express her inner without having to tell anyone about it.
She walked further along the wall, and suddenly, murmurs and footsteps could be heard. Going against her better instincts to interrupt, she took small strides towards to noise.
"Mhh..." Someone groaned.
'Please don't tell me they are hooking up...'
"Ahh..." Someone gasped. She wasn't sure if it was in pain or pleasure.
"Ahhh!" this time they whimpered and Sakura came to a halt. This time she realized, it was in pain.
Thinking someone might definitely be in trouble, she turned along the corner. And what she saw was most peculiar and unnervingly disturbing.
Drip... Drip...
She froze immediately; her hands flew up to cover her mouth to suppress the scream that that begged to be let out. They hadn't noticed her there yet.
Drip... Drip... Drip...
It was a couple.
Deep crimson rivers slowly ran down the masculine arm. Her gaze went up, following the horrific streams of red. It was a strong arm... and when her eyes got to his face she bit her lip.
'Neji?'
She tried to calm herself a bit. Sakura took deep and steady breaths, drawing attention away from the blood that stained the Hyuuga man. It was working, right up till she realized what he was doing to the poor, faint girl in his arms.
"Arghhh..." The pale girl whimpered in pain.
His nose was buried deep in her red tainted neck. More blood was smeared across his handsome face as he hungrily and desperately lapped the substance with his long tongue. Sakura's eyes widened immensely when she spotted the sharp fangs that appeared on each end of his teeth.
The pink haired girl couldn't move. This was all too much. Too much to take in…
Her breathing hastened. Disturbing images and exaggerated sounds flashed hysterically in her head. She was starting shake, shivering uncontrollably.
He has fangs!
Drip...
He's sucking her blood!
Drip... Drip...
He's not human!
Drip... Drip... Drip...
'Who's not human?' Something in her mind said.
'He isn't!'
'Who's he?'
'Him! There!'
'WHO?!'
'The one sucking the blood. HYUUGA NEJI!'
'Blood?!'
Oh god.
Blood.
She shook at the sight of blood.
Blood. Blood. Blood. Blood. Blood. Blood. Blood. Blood. Blood. Blood. Bloo—
Endlessly dripping down his hands.
Staining his clothes.
On the ground.
Everywhere.
'Move. Sakura. Move!'
It was moving. More images, faster and faster. The sounds, louder and louder.
'Get away! Get away!'
Like memories from a nightmare. It called and called.
Unknowingly, tears gather in her eyes.
Drip…
And when the last drop echoed...
She ran.
Her sudden movement caused Neji to abruptly look in the direction of the noise. The petite girl was moving like the wind, messy pink locks blowing behind her. Upon realizing, Neji let out a frustrated sigh. What the hell was she doing here?
He wanted to scream at the thought. Did she just see what he...
Hanabi will not be pleased. As opposed to Hinata, who probably knew this was going to happen sooner or later.
-
Her feet moved insanely against the ground. She wasn't aware of where she was going. But she didn't care. She finally got out of there but kept on running. She raced through no where. Further and further she ran, only slowing down a bit when she thought she had gotten far enough.
"Where am I..." She said to no one. She walked slowly for a moment to try and catch her breath.
She had turned the long corner, and to her relief, found herself in a public street that was clearly still hopping about in the midst of late afternoon. Her breathing slightly relaxed as she watched people stroll around the vivid shop filled area. She was safe. Taking a seat on a near by bench her hands went to her forehead and neck trying to calm herself down. But to no vial.
Before she had time to think, the starting melody to Ayumi Hamasaki's "Mirror" beckoned her. Slowly, she reached for her mobile in her pocket, and without looking at the caller ID slid it open.
"Hello?" She answered, still slightly out of breath.
"Sakura, is that you?"
The one who called was someone she least expected.
"Hinata?" She wasn't sure what she wanted.
"Neji told me what happened."
The pink haired girl immediately stiffened.
Were they going to kill her now?
"Listen. D-do you think I can meet up at your house in an hour? W-we don't want to hurt you Sakura-chan. I just want to explain and tell you about e-everything." She was worried. Sakura could tell.
She thought for a minute. Hell, of course she wanted to know what the freaking hell was going on at these two schools.
"Sure Hinata," She sighed reluctantly, "I'm sure you got my home address the same place you got my mobile number…"
"This is going to be great! Now we don't have to hide anything from you... m-maybe it was a good thing… I-I hope Neji-nii-san didn't scare you too much… He's really not a bad guy…" Sakura could feel the nervousness seeping from her.
Images of Neji's face smeared with blood kept flashing vividly in her head.
They're going to kill her.
Her eyes widened.
'They're going to kill me.'
"Sakura-chan? You there?"
She could see it now.
The next morning – 6 AM, BREAKING NEWS: Senior Juuken Academy student brutally mauled by an unknown creature. She is believed to be Haruno Sakura. (Although we're not really sure, we weren't able to identify her face.) But the pink hair is unmistakable. Who would do such a thing...
"Sakura-chan?"
