~Chapter One~

1894

Two figures were sprinting on a cliff ledge in the dead of the night. The one in front, a child, had a white gold bracelet grasped in his hand. Without the knowledge of its owner, he had stolen the jewellery which had been buried deep inside a burgundy pouch. The owner, Sakura Haruno, cursed herself for leaving the pouch on a rock unattended while she had polished her weapon. She now chased the child at inhuman speed. The thief was a vampire child, a rare oddity. It was unusual for a vampire to be born. The boy had led Sakura to the ledge, with only two feet between the towering rock face and the ice-cold ocean. The ground crumbled away at their feet, not used to being trampled on due to its remote location. One slip up and they would be in the sea.

The child entered a hole in the cliff face. It was a reasonable sized cave; it even had a little stream trickling through it, running to the entrance of the cavern and catapulting over the cliff's edge, feeding the ocean. At high tide, this space would be flooded. Sakura stopped in the mouth of the cave while the boy ran on towards three people waiting for them.

How could she have been so stupid?

She had walked straight into a trap, lured by the little brat. She took a menacing step towards the boy, but the adults stepped in front of him, blocking Sakura's view. A growl formed deep within her throat. She recognised one of the men who were protecting the child. Every superhuman being knew this figure: the Ruler of the supernatural world. She'd always wondered what the point was in the 'royal' family, as they liked to call themselves. All they ever did was execute rogue creatures who threaten to uncover their existence to humans. Sakura thought it would be better if the humans knew they were not just myths in horror movies, then they may respect them more and they wouldn't have to cover their tracks everywhere they went. Instead of annihilating supernaturals that were very hard to kill, why not slaughter the humans that found out about the world in which they did not belong? She believed humans deserved to be killed, every last one of them.

Something clicked in Sakura's head. Ten years ago there was a big event that took place in the Palace: the arrival of a new life – a prince's life – the Ruler's son. She peered over the Ruler's shoulder to inspect the vampire child. He was around nine or ten, had raven coloured hair and eyes just like his father, deep onyx that stood out in his round, pale face. His eyes were wide, petrified of the well known vampire that had just been chasing him.

There was a woman who had her arms wrapped around the boy in a protective manner. She wasn't the boy's mother, who was most likely snuggled up in her Queen sized bed in the Palace, a wine glass filled with dark red blood at her side. Sakura would much prefer to chase her prey; it was the best part in her opinion. She vaguely recognised the woman with her red hair cropped short. She had once fought against Aya, but she had run away before Sakura could silence her.

The wind blew through the mouth of the cave, caressing Sakura's long bubblegum pink hair around her face. There was another thundering growl, but it came from the third adult in the cave, the only one who looked eager for a fight. Sakura could tell from the awful stench radiating off him that he was a werewolf. She despised the creatures, believing they were useless and had a double digit IQ.

"Sakura, Sakura, Sakura." The Ruler addressed her. The name Kaito Uchiha came to her mind. He looked tired, but his voice was calm and gentle. To say he was over three hundred years old he only looked to be in his mid-twenties. His black hair framed his high cheekbones; the same colour eyes boring into Sakura's green ones. The Uchiha was dressed in a plain white top and a pair of black trousers, perfect for fighting in as they allowed freedom of movement. Sakura, on the other hand, was filthy from her encounter with a couple of shapeshifters earlier on. "We've lured you here to offer a treaty. We want to keep the peace."

"If you really wanted to keep the peace you wouldn't order your offspring to anger me by stealing one of my possessions."

"In return for the treaty," Kaito continued as if she had never spoken, "I will resign from sending my men out to assassinate you." Sakura didn't respond. After all these years of being hunted she had never been fatally injured. She was sure she could handle a few more centuries.

"You know my answer."

"Sir." The werewolf started, but Kaito held up his hand to keep him quiet.

"In that case we will have to take your sword. It is a very dangerous weapon to humans and the supernatural alike." The Ruler said.

"Never." Sakura clenched her jaw, staring deep into those dark, piercing eyes.

"If you do not hand it over quietly we will take it by force." Sakura glanced once more over to the prince who seemed to cower at the tone in his father's voice.

"Why don't you take the child out of here, Sir?" She mocked. "This is no place for children. We wouldn't want to scar his pretty face, would we?" She didn't think the Uchiha would put his own son's life at risk, and an image came to mind of him wrapping the prince up in pillows and blankets.

"He's old enough now to see a real battle. He needs to learn what it's like to be in a life or death situation." He stepped towards Sakura. They were going to fight to the death? Bring it on, she thought.

"You're just throwing your life away, old man. I'm Sakura Haruno after all." Before anyone could say anything else, Uchiha lunged at her with a wooden stake. There were only three things that could pierce a vampire's skin, and one of them was wood. She leapt back, expecting Kaito to pull a stunt like that. The fact that it was three against one didn't bother Sakura either; she had won battles where there were nine of the Uchiha's men against her. She didn't take into account the boy, what could he know? Kaito brought another stake out of his pocket and held it in his other hand. Her hand hovered over her weapons hilt, but she hesitated, deciding not to use it yet.

He went to attack her again but she anticipated the move. She easily kicked him away, and he fell twenty metres away. He had managed to hang on to his stakes.

"Sir!" The werewolf shouted. Sakura turned just in time to see a fist nearing her face. It was the prince, who had plucked up the courage to join the fight, but Sakura flicked his arm aside and he fell to the floor.

"Fugaku, don't get involved!" Kaito ordered. He was up again but Sakura couldn't focus on him. Aya was running towards her, another stake in her hand which ended in a very sharp looking point. She punched her away, but Aya managed to nick her shoulder. It wasn't very deep, but it still stung. She didn't let it divert her attention though and ignored the pain. There was no time for pauses.

Aya dropped the stake and Sakura picked it up, pointing the sharpened point towards the red head's throat. The werewolf cursed behind them. Sakura grinned; she should have done this years ago in their last fight. She applied pressure onto the stake. Pain exploded in her back. The world around her went black for a second. She dropped the stake and rolled off Aya. When her vision returned to normal she found the werewolf standing over her. He had kicked her right in her coccyx and had a large smirk plastered across his face. Sakura really hated werewolves.

She growled, getting back onto her feet. The werewolf went to kick her again but she blocked it, shoving his foot away. He tried his chances with his fist but she dodged out of the way. A yelp echoed against the walls of the cave. The big bad wolf had just punched his comrade, Aya, who had been standing just behind Sakura, waiting for her chance to aid the werewolf. Sakura stifled a chuckle.

The werewolf apologised to Aya and turned back around to face Sakura. She glared, thinking about if only looks could kill, life would be so much easier. But then again, it would be a lot duller. He lunged again and knocked her off her feet and onto the floor with him on top. She cried out as her head cracked against the hard, cold floor. The ground was wet as she had landed in the shallow stream. Aya was walking towards her, stake in hand while Kaito dragged his son behind a boulder at the back of the cave. Sakura tried to shove the werewolf off her but he wouldn't budge. She was thankful that it wasn't a full moon; if he transformed now she would have a hard time keeping him from ripping her throat out. She cursed, lifting her knee up and hitting home. He grunted and rolled off her, clutching down below.

Classic.

She got back to her feet but Aya jumped on her so that she was in the river once again. For goodness sake! A hot pain spread across her stomach. Aya was smiling down at her, just having thrust the stake into Sakura's abdomen. A snarling growl ripped from her throat and she grabbed the handle of her weapon, pulling it out of its sheath. She did it so fast that Aya didn't see a thing. She plunged the sword and her most prized possession into the chest of her opponent. Aya froze and then went limp, her dead weight pinning Sakura to the floor. She pushed her off and ripped the stake out of her stomach. She stood up to face Uchiha and the werewolf.

The Ruler's eyes twitched at the sight of his deceased friend. "You finally decided to get it out."

"It can't be that dangerous, it's metal! Metal can't pierce vampire flesh!" the werewolf exclaimed. Sakura's eyes narrowed. The werewolf looked down at his fallen comrade. "At least not normal metal…" Sakura pulled the sword out of Aya's chest and pointed it at the werewolf.

"Don't anger her, Jiraiya." Kaito warned. "That sword can slice through almost anything."

"My sword is a katana that has an oak core and oak fused into the metal." Sakura leapt towards Jiraiya but before she could reach him the pain in her stomach exploded. She was blinded by the sensation.

"You're not going anywhere with that wound." Kaito stated.

"You… wanna bet?" Sakura gasped, and shot towards him instead. The tip of her katana embedded into his side and he shouted out in pain. Jiraiya ran towards them, but Sakura slammed the hilt of the katana against the cave wall, causing a deep indentation in the rocks. The cave rumbled, and an avalanche of rocks fell from above, piling on top of Jiraiya. The blood curdling scream from underneath satisfied her. Jiraiya was trapped under the rubble, his right arm crushed. Sakura focused her attention on Kaito, whose hair had come out of place and was falling into his eyes, sweat pouring down his forehead. He was clutching his side where she had wounded him. Two down, one to go. The prince was still cowering behind the boulder, paralysed by the sight in front of him. Kaito attempted to stab Sakura with his stake, but once again she dodged. However, she didn't anticipate the fist that was aimed her way. The Uchiha's hand connected with her cheek and she flew backwards. She just managed to cut the blade into his shoulder before she hit the back wall of the cave, nearly knocked unconscious.

She could hardly move, the pain in her head and back from the impact immobilising her. She put a shaking hand to the back of her scalp and felt a warm rush of liquid running through her pink hair. She glared at the approaching man.

"My, Sakura, you are a mess." She was covered in blood from the wound to her stomach, and was soaking wet from the fall in the stream – twice – and her hair was matted with blood and dirt. She tried to get back to her feet but Kaito brought his stake down and angled it towards her throat.

"You should look at yourself, Sir." She smirked.

"Do it now before she knows what hit her!" Jiraiya gasped through his pain. He had managed to lift the boulders off his battered body, but his right arm hung limply by his side, blood dripping down it and splashing onto the floor.

Kaito applied pressure onto the stake, digging it in Sakura's throat. A trickle of blood dribbled down her neck, but no more pressure was added. The Ruler had his head in his free hand, and his eyes were closed in deep concentration, eyebrows furrowed. This was Sakura's chance to strike. Her katana was too far away as she had lost her grip on it when she fell. She could have punched his face but she risked him pushing the stake in deeper. Kaito then opened his eyes and stared at Sakura in astonishment.

"That was interesting." He said.

"What was?" Sakura asked. Kaito removed the stake from her throat and plunged it deep into her side, making her scream in agony. She instantly lost control of her body as it wouldn't respond. She gritted her teeth.

"What have… you done to… me?" She could hardly speak through the pain of her newly inflicted wound. Was the stake covered in some kind of poison? Maybe it hadn't shown any effects when it nicked her throat because not enough of it was in her system, but now that the stake was imbedded deep in her side, a high concentration was in her blood stream.

"I am going to kill you, but I want to tell you this. I had a vision. It seems in the future you will bring good to this land and my family."

"As if I'd do that." She scoffed, but then erupted into a coughing fit, drawing up blood. "I thought you said you were going to kill me."

"I carry out what I say, but I'm going to sacrifice my own life to help my people." Why in the future would she ever help him and his men who hunted her down every day of the year?

He dived into his pocket, producing a vial of green liquid. He took a swig, swallowing half of the solution. "This is a little concoction I made." He explained, wiping his mouth on his sleeve. "Only this little vial exists. I was hoping to make more, but under the circumstances…" He trailed off as he slumped to the floor, choking. His eyes were wild when he looked up at her, crawling over and forced the remainder of the liquid down her throat. It tasted like acid. "We will both die tonight, but you will wake up, human."

"You're going to make me vermin?" Sakura spluttered. "When I wake up I will hunt you and your family down and wipe you out!"

"But you won't remember anything that happened in this life. Goodbye Sakura Haruno." With the last of his strength he plunged the stake into her racing heart. He slumped to the floor as his own heart slowed and eventually stopped. A life for a life. Sakura's world instantly went black, a single tear rolled down her cheek. The last thing she heard was the calming trickle of the stream a few feet from where she laid. Then that eventually faded and all she felt was nothingness.

Sakura Haruno died.

First chapter is up! I changed a few things, but nothing major. I'm going to try and update once a week, and I've wrote a few chapters in advance as it's exam time, so I won't have chance to write until end of June D:

I went to see Star Trek – Into Darkness with my friend today and OMG it was amazing!

Please review! :)
