Forbidden Love: The Vampire Prince

Sakura Haruno, a girl of high intelligence and beauty, tucked some of her bubblegum pink hair behind her ear. She's busy concentrating on a patient in her mother's small clinic. She analysed the girl with her sparkling, olive green eyes. She has always been the kind and caring person she is today, she loves helping people and healing them, it gives her a warm feeling in the pit of her stomach, and she likes that! She places her hand on the fragile girl's forehead, checking her temperature. The girl has a very high temperature, much higher than that of a fever. 'She's not going to make it through the night,' Sakura thought, she hates the fact that she's going to lose a patient, but she has done everything she can, but if her mother were here maybe the girl would have survived. Her mother was the best doctor in town, but when she died Sakura took over her clinic, along with Shizune who was her mother's best friend.

"Sakura, you look exhausted!" Shizune says as she injects some morphine into the patients system to nullify the pain; the least they can do is let her die peacefully. Sakura shook her head in response and Shizune knew fine well the she, like her mother, would stay at the hospital until she passes out and that wouldn't do Shizune any favours.

"Come on Sakura, you've got to go home sometime, Tsunade would want you in bed and healthy, not passing out here in the hospital." She had to play the mother card on Sakura! She hated it whenever her mother was mentioned but, she did feel the slightest bit grateful. Her mother was a great woman, strong, intelligent and caring. One day, Sakura would like to be just like her mother and be able to fall in love, just as she did.

"But, the patient…" Sakura muttered, looking down at the ground. She has always hated leaving the hospital when someone was dying, even when her mother was alive and kicking.

"The patient will probably still be here in the morning. Now go, before I kick your ass out of here personally." The was a slight smile in Shizune's voice and Sakura is able to tell that she was mentally picturing herself kicking Sakura out of the hospital and she seemed to like the idea.

"…Okay, I'll go. She better be alive in the morning!" Sakura warned, "Or there will be hell to pay!" Shizune rolled her eyes, Sakura is too much like her mother for her own good; she even has Tsunade's temper.

"She will be! I'll make sure of it," she said although she couldn't promise. Sakura nodded and picked up her jacket, and walked out the door, turning to nod at Shizune just before she leaves. A smile crosses Shizune's face as Sakura takes a step out the door.

Sakura stared up at the night sky. Her mind flashes back until when her both her parents were still alive, and kicking. Her Mum and Dad were deeply in love, she smiles just thinking about them; she remembers how they would come to school to pick her up when it got dark. She loved it when her parents wrapped her up in their arms and cradled her like a little kid.

Smash! The sound of beer bottles breaking.

Sakura turns to face the sound which had just disturbed her train of thought. Three drunken men behind her were staring at her with a look on their faces she can't quite place and this panics her. Her pace quickens and she notices their do too and she takes a 'short cut' home. Just as soon as she thinks she has lost them she hits a dead end and the three men slowly trail towards her, Sakura is trapped. There is no possible way she can save herself now, but she has to try. One of them makes a grab for her neck.

"There, there now Gorgeous," one of the men slurred, placing one of his hands on her breast. Sakura gasps and tries to push him off of her. It is no use. He's much stronger than her, even when he's drunk.

"Help," she calls; her voice only a whisper.

"Help? One of the three men scoff. "Darlin', no one is going to help you now."

Sasuke Uchiha jumps from roof to roof, he had orders to patrol. God, how he hated patrolling. He notices the night seems calm and it's too calm for his liking. There never seems to be any trouble in this area. Well, so he thought.

"Help!" he hears someone scream, a girl by the sound of it. For some reason Sasuke follows the sound, there's something about the voice that makes him want to protect her. A feeling he's never had before. He came across a beautiful girl with bubblegum pink hair and scared olive green eyes. The fear on her face angers him for some unknown reason, he withdraws is kantana and jumps down from the roof. The men jump back in shock. Sasuke glances over at the girl, torn ripped clothes and a little blood… blood! Sasuke's eyes glow a bright red.

"Vampires," Sasuke whispers, "You dare touch a human?" His eyes still glowing paralyse the men.

"Tch. Uchiha Sasuke," one of them mutter; the drunk charade now over. "Why do you interrupt our meal?" Sasuke smirks and appears in front of them in quicker than a second flat, pointing his kantana at his neck.

"Tell me why I shouldn't just slice you apart right now, and make it quick!" Sasuke threatens "I would cover your eyes if I were you," he says to the girl, for some reason he doesn't want her to see this. She nods in response and covers her eyes, he smirks at her reaction.

"Too late," Sasuke whispers to the guys and slices the guy he had just threatened. Quickly turning to the other too who are currently backing into the wall where Sakura is now sitting. "Not so fast now," Sasuke mutters and throws his kantana at them narrowly missing one of them. The man freezes. In another two seconds they're dead. Sasuke licks the blood on his hands, it had been a while since he had drank any blood, well more like 24 hours.

"Girl, your name," Sasuke asks the girl, who's currently trembling at the wall.

"Haruno Sakura," Sasuke freezes in place… images flow into his mind and he lifts the girls chin and stares into her eyes.

"Uchiha Sasuke," he whispers. Sakura notices his appearance even though it's dark. She notices his black spiky hair, which moves with the wind and she also notices that his red eyes has died down into an onyx colour. Sakura found herself being drawn into them. She couldn't see him well in the dark, so she couldn't tell what shade his skin is or any other little details she wouldn't notice until it's a bit brighter, she hoped she would be able to see the handsome man properly and soon. He walks over to the girl and kneels down beside her, looking into her eyes. Sakura, beginning to have a Déjà vu feeling, continued to stare into the young Uchiha's eyes.

"Those men, why were they after you?" Sakura's mind flashes back to the incident that happened a couple of seconds ago.

"I don't know," she replied, her voice almost a whisper. The sun began to rise.

"You're coming with me," Sasuke says calmly, "You have no choice in the matter.

"Eh?" Sakura asked, not sure if she had heard him right. 'Did he just say what I think he did?' She thought. "I can't," she whispers.

"Why not?" Sasuke demanded, "I'll have to kill you if you don't come along." The second part was a lie, he wouldn't have to kill her, someone else would just come looking for her and if the girl didn't come with him she was just as well as dead.

"I have no choice in the matter," Sakura mutters, looking up at Sasuke, "but am I allowed to see anyone before I go?" She asks. Sasuke shakes his head in response.

"There isn't enough time, the sun will be up soon." Sasuke kneeled down in front of her, his back facing her. "Get on, it'll be quicker this way." Sakura obeyed. Sasuke secured Sakura, his hands on her thighs and for some unknown reason he liked it. Sakura felt a faint blush appear on her face, her heart beat also quickened. Sasuke smirked. He liked having 'that kind of effect' on her. He passed building at such a high speed Sakura had to bury her face into Sasuke's back, the speed made her feel sick. Sasuke took note of this but still continued at the constant speed.

"You know what I am, don't you?" He asked Sakura, Sasuke felt her nod.

"Vampire," she whispers into his back.

"You scared?" he asks in an intimidating voice. Sakura shakes her head in response.

"No." Sasuke almost stops in shock. Never had anyone of his kind said something like that to him, never mind a human!

Sasuke eventually appeared in front of a small building and opened the door. The bright light escaping from the door momentarily blinded Sakura and Sasuke smirked. She looked pretty cute just now. Sasuke mentally slapped himself for thinking such things, she's a human and he's a vampire. That's all there is too it.

"Welcome back Prince Sasuke," one of the maids whispers to Sasuke. 'He's a prince?' Sakura thought feeling embarrassed that she hadn't been more polite to her saviour. Sakura glanced around the room, it is huge. It's so much bigger in the inside than it is on the outside.

"Room this girl with Hinata and Ino," Sasuke commanded. "We can't have her escape." The maid nodded and indicated for Sakura to follow her, for some reason, unknown to both who had just entered the door, Sakura isn't able to release her grip from Sasuke's neck. She didn't want him to leave her, not yet. Sasuke raised a hand up to his neck and gently unclasped Sakura's hands and pulled her in front of him. Sakura noticed that Sasuke's skin is paler than the average guys, almost snow-white. A smirk appeared on his face as Sakura blushed, she noticed Sasuke's slightly muscular arms and how they had wrapped around her securing her and preventing her from falling.

"I guess I'll be taking you then," Sasuke smirked. "Change of plans, you go tell my parents where I am." The maid nodded and rushed off while Sasuke was left with the blushing Sakura. "You coming?" Sasuke asks, a smirk still planted firmly on his face. Sakura nodded and followed him. The rest of the way there seemed quiet, that is until they ran into a certain blonde boy with a big goofy grin on his face.

'Teme! What are you doing bringing a human girl here?' he thought.

"None of your business, Dobe." Sasuke replied. Sakura stares at Sasuke. The boy hadn't even said anything!

'Sasuke-teme!' the boy thought again.

"Shut it, Naruto!" Sasuke glared at the boy.

"Sasuke-teme! You're no fun! You bastard!" The boy says finally speaking.

'Was Sasuke just reading his thoughts?' Sakura thought.

"Dobe, shut up. You're annoying" Sasuke glances at Sakura a look of concentration and curiosity on his face. He sighs, giving up.

'You can't hear her thoughts can you Teme?' Sasuke shakes his head in response and Naruto's eyes widen. 'Finally! Someone who can kick your ass!'

"Oi! Sakura, we're going." Sasuke mutters turning his back.

"Are you a vampire too?" She asks Naruto. He smiles at Sakura and shakes his head.

"Nope. Much worse. I'm a genuine demon, the son of the devil." Sakura's eyes widen as she's stares at the boy, Sasuke starts pulling her away. 'He's the son of the devil? Are there any normal people here at all?' The answer to that is no. No there isn't.

Alright guys, first chapter done. I actually got the idea for this when watching 'Bones' and 'House', I was sitting there thinking 'Omg, Sasuke should come to the rescue here. He didn't. I was depressed. I also wanted to write a proper vampire fan-fiction due to the fact I read the book 'Twilight' last night. Twilight fan-girl here.

I hope you enjoyed reading. I'm going to rate this story 'M' for any future content about to come. I have no idea what I'm going to write though. I'm just going to go with the flow. =P
