A/N: It's been a long time I don't write and well, I'm back loves! Here's another SasuSaku piece of mine where Sakura is as frail and fragile as the nature of spring season, while Sasuke is a jerk who saves Sakura as he felt pity for her pathetic state. It's a Vampire fic by the way. I know most of you may not like Vampire fics but I assure you, this fic is worth a try. :)
Enjoy.
Chapter 1: Safe and Sound.
"Yes, yes!" cried a blood-sucking creature, high with no consciousness. "Bring her here, Maggots! Let's have some fun with her when she's as pure as the spring. Ha ha! Quick!"
"It's the end of me then." thought the maiden with surrendered mind's voice. "I'll end up like my friends! Into their hands. If I live, I live like a bloody whore, and if I die, I die a hero. It's the end either way." Soon, she was thrown to the table with half-naked clothes to dance.
"Ey, ey, Baby!" called an olderly looking vampire dreamily. "Dance if you care for your dear life~"
"Oh kami!" thought the girl, disgusted. "There's no way I'm doing this if I want not to hurt my race's pride. Even if I get my life spared, what happens? We, humans are doomed anyway."
With enough courage mustered on the sleeves, the fair maiden raised her voice against the vampires. "I refuse to act as you say, monsters!"
And in an instant, she regretted as she felt a sharp pain pierce through her backbone when a vampire pinned her against a wall with brute force. "You dare disobey us, you sickly, chest less, little whore! No wonder why we destroy your filthy race!"
Mercilessly, the vampire kept on punching her on the stomach until she coughed out blood. The damage was quite enough for a 17 year old, pre-adult femenine to lose her soul, and she was happily welcoming her end. "I can see the light to Elysium. The time has come for me to reunite with my mother and friends. I am happy now. Finally, I found freedom in my darkness. I shall gladly claim it."
Just before her consciousness drowned, she felt someone lightly grasping her frail body with strong arms. The punches of that so called vampire eventually died down and shouts were heard which the girl didn't really understand in this state of mind. Slowly, her vision clouded and she lost consciousness for the moment.
The next moment she regained her senses was the time she realized that she wasn't dead. Was it relief that she escaped her horrible fate? Or regret that she didn't die which she was really looking forward to? She didn't know.
And where she was anyways? It was a huge royal painted room with a king sized bed and a beautifully decorated dressing table. The windows were hidden with the most beautiful fabrics one would ever wish to see again. All in all, the room wasn't something ordinary. It was a palace. A palace which was owned by kings and queens. Speaking of which, it reminded her of the fairy tales her mother used to tell her when she was little. Her mother said that a prince shall marry her dear Cherry Blossom one day and they would live happily ever after. Too bad it was a fairy tale.. But wait! What if the fairy tales became true?
And then, it hit her. Obviously there were no kings and queens in her time but royal vampires who were very powerful and was on constant wars with other royals. What's worse? Being held captive by the blood-sucking royals was worse than getting raped in the tavern full of drunkards. The drunkards with no royal blood may kill a human any way it wants with no judgement at all, and it was the end. Royals are quiet different here. They would torture a human victim mercilessly without killing. On top of that, the humans there were treated like gods and goddesses, with endless luxuries provided by the family of the owner. It was just to fuel up the human for the amusement later on enjoyed by the owner.
Wow, it really wasn't ending then! The girl was in the verge of breaking down. She let the tears slip down the cheek, until there was someone unlocking the door to her room. She became cautious of the unknown presence which stood in the shadows, creating a raven silhouette. The person advanced towards the broken doll.
"You must be Sakura Haruno." said the presence, with a deep male voice. His onyx orbs connecting to the said girl's emeralds, which could pierce one's soul. Those eyes were beautiful in a sinister way. Not to mention, he, himself was too gorgeous to look at and made everyone seem inferior just by his presence.
"Ye-yes." stuttered Sakura, looking away from those onyx eyes. "And you are?"
The man smirked, baring his fangs. "Why, haven't you heard of me before? I am Uchiha Sasuke."
In hearing the name, Sakura's heart starting thumping like crazy. "Uchihas... Aren't they the most fearful royals of the Vampire race?" She had so many questions that needed to be answered. No matter how frightened she was right now, she managed to talk. "Why am I here anyways?"
"I believe questions can be answered after something important. That is," Sasuke paused and leaned towards Sakura. He captured her lips to a quick kiss, leaving the girl blushing madly, and furious at the same time.
Sakura freaked out. Not because she liked the kiss but because she hated the fact that a filthy vampire stole her first kiss. "What's with the sudden approach, you filthy vampire!"
She wanted to curse him more but she was interrupted by the vampire. "That's why I said that this was important. From this moment onwards, I've marked you as my familiar. You'll be by my side as a shadow, and I'm your master. You may ask my reason for this, and I say, for your pathetic state at the tavern and the way you were being treated, I decided to help you. Now, no other vampire can touch you for you are my familiar. Only I, your master, has the right to touch you. Rest assured, I won't take advantage of that. I'm not interested in little girls such as yourself."
It still wasn't enough for Sakura to calm down. "What's the use? I'd rather die than sticking with a vampire. And you are not my master. I'll run away and you won't be able to do anything."
"Girl," Sasuke ruffled his hair, which was quite sexy for a girl to watch, only if it wasn't Sakura. "If you run away, you'll die. Like I said, you are going to stay by my side like a shadow. That's what familiars are for."
"No! This can't be happening! I know you are lying! " Sakura looked down on her lap and shed tears.
Sasuke was never good in comforting a person. So, he said what was obvious to him. "The contract is already made between you and I, so nothing can't be done. Crying won't change a thing. You'll lead a good life with me than those drunken bastards."
"It doesn't matter. You all are the same. What are we, humans, to you? Simply a food or an amusement to be played. We don't even have life and liberty."
"It's just the way things are."
" I assume, I have to provide you blood?"
"At times when the blood bank is not available. Like, if we're on missions and so."
There was a long pause after Sasuke's last sentence until he walked over to his bed. He cleared his throat and said,"I'll be having a nap now. You can go to the stairwell where I have arranged some maids to show your room. Or, you can sleep next to me for the night?"
The creepy offer by Sasuke made the girl go furious. "Oh My God, No!"
"Umm, I won't do a thing to you as promised but trust me, it is not a sin to sleep next to your master since you are my familiar. In missions, masters and familiars, sleep together for emergencies. However, It Really is a Sin to make love or have a romantic relationship with your master or the familiar. Except that, you are allowed to do anything you want."
"Shut up! I don't want to hear about this master-familiar rubbish of your anymore! My ears hurt! I shall be going, now, goodbye!" Sakura shut the door with anger and walked away, leaving Sasuke to his amusement.
He smirked. "Aww.. She is so fun to mess with."
A/N: How is it guys? Please Review and let me know whether I should proceed with this story or not.
Before I bid farewell, I would like to brief about my next chapter.
"
Oh? Who's this little girl here? Are you lost?" said another one of the Uchihas, sharingan eyes blazing as he saw a petite human walking her way to the stairs. She seemed confused to the way to her destination.
"How lovely! Seems Sasuke had brought a new whore out here. It wouldn't be fun without banging her." He thought licking his lips.
"Umm, yes mister." the girl answered, flushing. It was uncomfortable for, this new vampire here is drooling at her body and checking her out too openly. "I can't seem to find Sasuke-sama's piano room-"
Without warning, this new guy here, went behind the girl and grabbed her neck. He whispered in her ears."Uh-uh. What's the hurry, girl? Let's have some fun first."
He bared his sharp inhuman fangs at the terrified girl. "No, please, stop!"
She let out a sharp scream, shaking the whole mansion.
A/N: Good Day. Byee.
