The beast that lurks in the night

chapter 1

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sasuke was a mighty warrior, coming from a long line of extremely wealthy powerful rulers. He served and protected the new religion that had been sweeping through the country side. His land was known to all as the most beautiful. A vast forest full of tall thick trees and flowers of such delicate rare beauty, that it is to be found nowhere else in the world. He met and fell in love with princess Sakura. She was the most beautiful women in all the provinces, and the most precious thing in Sasuke's life. He guarded and protected his new bride as if she were made of a fine glass that would shatter at any moment. She was his life, and he was hers. For she too, loved Sasuke with all her heart and soul. On the night of their union, Sasuke got news that the enemy, a country to the north who had been trying to take over the church of the new religion for 8 straight months now. Was attacking once again near the castle. Sakura, fearing that she may never see her love again. Begged that he stay with her. Sasuke locked her in his powerful arms, catching her lips in a searing kiss that would forever burn in the back of his mind. Before turning and rushing out the doors to join his men and the battle that called. He fought savagely to defend his land, the church, and most of all, Sakura. Her face stayed in his mind as he viciously cut down one man after another.

The vengeful enemy, sensing defeat. Did the one thing that they knew would get to Sasuke. They sent a letter to the castle carrying false news of Sasuke's death. Sakura, believing that he was dead. Took a dagger and thrust it into her abdomen.

As the battle neared its end. Sasuke thought of the women he had left behind. Eager to get back to her. When he reached the castle he expected to see her waiting for him at the doors but, she wasn't. He looked all over the castle, getting more and more

Panicked as his search turned up nothing. Finally he walked into the church, hoping to find that she was sitting in it as she so often enjoyed doing. What he found made him stop dead in his tracks. He sputtered onyx eyes wide as he took in the horrible site in front of him. There she lay, on the cold stone floor of the church. Her long pink curls lying around her head, a few stray curls against her deathly pale face. She still wore the long, elegantly shaped, beaded sleeved dark blue dress that had taken his breath away when he had first seen it on her earlier that day, her wedding dress. The blue diamond necklace that had belonged to his mother lay around her neck. He slowly walked to her side, noticing the blood that had soaked through the dress and leaked down the corners of her mouth. Seeing her blood made the situation all too real and he collapsed weakly to the ground beside her. Falling hard on his knees as pain overwhelmed him.

"Sa…Sakura…" He choked out,

His entire body shaking with uncontrollable, violent sobs.

He felt the presence of the priests but didn't even bother to look up. Instead he reached for her, flinching when his hands made contact with her cold skin. He pulled her limp body against his hard chest. Muffling deep painful sobs into her soft curls.

Something white caught his eye and he realized it was a piece of

Crinkled paper laying discarded a few feet from where she had been lying. It had crimson blotches stained on it. With shaky fingers Sasuke picked it up, unfolded it and read the contents.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My Love is gone,

All is lost without him. May god forgive me for what I am about to do. But I cannot go on living without him. I cannot survive without him.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The priests were talking but he didn't care, he didn't care what they had to say. He lowered Sakura to the ground once more as a tortured scream escaped his lips. Doubling over as more sobs racked his body. Then one of them uttered something that made his blood run cold and a deep hatred like nothing he had ever felt before burn through his body.

They will pay…

"She took her own life, she is dammed,"

Sasuke's grief and pain quickly turned to into uncontrollable rage. Howling like a madman, he leaped to his feet. Watery onyx eyes darkening as he glared at the priests.

"NOOO!!!" He screamed, "THIS IS THE THANKS I GET FOR DEFENDING YOUR GOD!!!"

The priests backed away in fear at the savage look in his eyes. Sasuke didn't care; in fact, he found that he enjoyed it. The church he had so furiously defended, the god he had come to trust. What did he get in return for all that he sacrificed? Did this god protect her? Was this god even listening to him now as another broken sob escaped his lips? Why did this god have to take her from him? Something in him snapped and he stared up defiantly.

"I RENOUNCE GOD!!!" He screamed over and over again.

The Priests, horrified by his behavior, backed away even further.

"It is gods wish…"

A scream that sounded like it had come from the belly of a wounded animal ripped from his throat and he charged blindly from the church.

Sasuke hunted down the rest of the enemy from the battle. They kneeled at his feet, whimpering pitifully, begging for there lives. So Sasuke made sure he killed them slowly, made sure they suffered as he suffered.

They will all pay

Before turning his attention to his own people. People he once would have given his life to defend were now his prey. He took the bodies of those he killed and impaled them with there own weapons. Chopped off there heads and drank there blood. His people began to fear him. Convinced that he'd gone completely mad.

In the years that followed he went on a rampage. Killing anything and everyone who crossed his path. Some even said they had seen his eyes turn crimson, that he began to crave human blood. Even after Sasuke's death, people refused to live near the castle.
