She knew that sitting there was not a good idea. She was too riled up, too confused, anything could set her off. After a few moments Hinata heard the multiplying footsteps throughout the school and knew it was time to get to class.

Throughout all of first period, she could not concentrate. Luckily, there were none of her kin in her class, no one to see her anxiety. When Sasuke walked away, she had wanted to follow him. Thankfully, the farther away he got, the less she felt the attraction.

But then the bell rang to her next class and her anxiety came back ten fold.

Breathe, she told herself, whatever happened in there, won't happen again, I'm sure of it

It was enough to compose herself. With a vacant expression, she walked to her locker, switched books and went into her second period class.

"Hinata!" A rough voice yelled. She lost her vacant expression and smiled. Kiba Inuzuka, one of her best friends. "Get over here!" he barked out. She took a deep breath and crossed to the right side of the room. The left side was inhabited by Vampires, were Sasuke was. She let her eyes wander to his seat and was surprised to see it empty, it confused her but she wasn't about to complain.

He probably left home or something

"So is it true?" Kiba asked as she sat down.

"Hmm?" She was distracted and it was costing her. Kiba followed her gaze to the door and raised an eyebrow.

"Waiting for somebody?" Kiba asked. It broke her train of thought -she was still worried that Sasuke would show up- and she turned to face him. "No Kiba, what's true?"

"That Neji's in love." Kiba said gaining his previous enthusiasm.

"What!" Hinata screamed, her jaw dropping. A few vampires sneered and Kiba growled at them.

"Tame that dog of yours." A sleek voice said. Hinata lost her previous shock in favor of her annoyance. It was Sakura and her friend Ino, right next to her.

"Why I outta..." Kiba said, getting up from his seat. The few humans in the middle looked scared already prepared for a fight to break out. Hinata put a hand on his chest and shook her head, Kiba cursed and sat back down. Hinata turned to Sakura and raised an eyebrow at her. It seemed like something was bugging her but of course she knew what.

"Sometimes I just wanna tear her throat out." Kiba muttered.

"You know that would break the treaty." A kid beside them said.

"Yeah, yeah... we are the example, blah blah-blah blah-blah, whatever Shino." Kiba muttered, already getting the speech over a number of times.

"Hello Shino." Hinata said nodding toward him. Shino Aburama was not a human, although he looked like one, -as all other mythical creatures do... most of them- he was in fact, a shape shifter. He could turn into any living thing, which in her opinion, was pretty cool.

Shino nodded to her as well and turned to the front of the class.

More than half of the students between them were either shape shifters or faeries all disguised as humans. Very few were able to distinguish them, it was hard to differentiate their scent but for some reason she always could, something that she was very proud of.

She vaguely noticed that the teacher had already started the lecture. She took out her homework and left it on her desk. It was annoying to go to school, mostly because she already knew everything. The teachers already knew who was human and they tried their hardest to focus on them. The only reason they were going to school was to make ties with those who were not their kind.

"-who got killed?" She heard a human suddenly ask. Hinata focused and payed attention.

"Yes well, it is not certain who killed him but everything is being done to find out." The teacher answered nervously. He was a small man, balding at the top of his head with dark gray hairs at the side. With a beard and glasses, the child was small, round and absolutely ordinary. He dabbed his handkerchief in a nervous gesture.

"I mean its obvious from the brutal way he was killed that a Werewolf did it." Sakura stage whispered. Really, the things she did to start something.

"Really Sakura." Hinata chided. "Accusing people without evidence makes it seem like your trying to cover something up." she continued. It was so easy to rile Sakura up. It was obvious from the way her smirk turned into a frown that she wasn't expecting her to say anything but when it came to deaths, Hinata felt obligated to defend them.

"Why suddenly so defensive, you don't usually stand up to me, but who could blame you, I'm a Vampire, we are pretty intimidating." Sakura said with a wave of her hand. The fact was that even though Hinata was usually calm sometimes things did get her mad, Werewolves had the tendency to have tempers mostly because there transformations were fueled by their emotions, that and Hinata wasn't calm to begin with.

"I guess you forget who was cowering in fear in our first encounter." Hinata said, grimacing. Even when she mentioned the war, she didn't like it. But of course it had the desired affect on pissing Sakura off.

"I remember that, I was there. Ungrateful child, she should have ki-"

"Please, let us forget the past and remain in the present... Mr. Baker, the lesson." Hinata said, using her diplomatic voice, already regretting bringing it up. The teacher nodded quickly and was about to continue when the door was suddenly opened.

Sasuke -in all his Vampire glory- walked in without a glance to the teacher and took his seat, adjacent to Hinata's. The teacher stuttered for a moment but collected himself and continued but of course Sakura had to retort.

"Hey Sasuke, don't you think a Werewolf killed that guy a few days ago?" Sakura purred as she turned in her seat. It wasn't loud enough to distract anybody with normal hearing which didn't apply to more than half the class. Most people didn't turn with the exception of the few who were keen to fighting the Vamps.

Sasuke didn't answer, choosing to ignore her and it frustrated Sakura. Her previous irritation with him resurfaced and she turned away from him in anger.

Unfortunately, in her interest, Hinata snorted, along with the others -not very lady-like on her part- causing both Sasuke and Sakura to turn to her. Sakura glared for a moment and turned to Ino. Sasuke on the other hand stared. Their gazes locked and Hinata stopped breathing. The unbelievable urge to touch him returned and she did what she could to keep herself rooted.

His eyes are beautiful

Why that thought crossed her mind was a mystery even to her. In all her meetings with the Uchihas, not once did she have an interest in them. Up until recently, they had always been the enemy and after the treaty they were people she had only glimpses of.

And now all she could do was see him. Even with her enhanced sight she couldn't see anything else, all it did was give her more detail of him.

The spell was broken when the bell rang. She was so focused she couldn't feel the hour. She blinked in surprise and saw Sasuke shake his head. She grabbed her things and got up. Kiba, who seemed to be coming out of a day dream, sighed and slowly got up.

They had fifteen minutes for break so they headed to the cafeteria. The cafeteria was large and spaced out. The humans were in the center of it all, greatly outnumbering their kinds. The Werewolves were in the left while the Vampires were in the right. The shape-shifters and the others who blended in perfectly were in with humans except for a few who were with them.

"Hey." Hinata turned to the voice and saw Sasuke leaning against the wall next to the doors. People stopped their chattering and zeroed on the two. Kiba tensed and put himself in front of Hinata.

"Don't worry, dog, I merely wish to speak to Hinata, privately." Sasuke said. Kiba growled a bit, not moving an inch.

"Kiba, it's okay." Hinata said putting a hand on his shoulder. Kiba glanced at her before relaxing and he begrudgingly moving aside.

"If he does anything out of line you make sure to-"

"Howl and take defensive maneuvers. I know Kiba." she said smiling up at him.

"Good." he said patting her head. "You better not do any-"

"Kiba." Hinata said, chiding him.

"Okay, okay. Be careful." Kiba said, finally walking to their table. Sasuke was silent throughout their exchange and turned as soon as she faced him. He lead her through the school, -leaving a lot of space between them- finally taking her to the school roof. The halls on the way there were empty and the roof was completely isolated. And then the same attraction occurred as soon as they were alone.

"What the hell are you doing?" Sasuke suddenly muttered. He involuntarily stepped toward her and he caught himself, balling his hands into fists.

"I'm-I'm not doing anything." Hinata whispered as she put a hand to her heart. It was pounding away so fast that they could both hear it clearly. Hinata took deep breathes and though her heart rate started slowing, it did nothing for the electricity that seemed to be flowing through them.

"So you feel it too?" Hinata asked.

"Yes and stronger every time we're alone." Sasuke said, taking another step, another one and they would be so close they'd be mingling there breathes. It was blatantly honest and she really had to focus on it to keep herself from blushing from the previous thought.

"I've heard a legend about this but I did not believe it to be true." Sasuke muttered more to himself than anything.

"A legend?" Hinata thought back to all the ancient stories that were passed down from generation to generation, wolf to wolf. And then it suddenly hit her.

"Soul mates?" It was preposterous, yet it fit all their symptoms perfectly. "I thought it was only for witches, whose souls were pure and eternal." Hinata asked, reciting what she was told.

"I've been thinking about it and thats the only thing that fits, unless of course your using some kind of werewolf magic?" Sasuke asked seriously. Hinata could help but let out a snort.

"Werewolf magic? What about Vampire hypnosis?" Hinata asked, just a serious. Sasuke smirked.

"You see my dilemma here?" Sasuke said sarcastically. Everybody knew that there was no such thing as Werewolf magic or Vampire hypnosis, it was what the humans used as an excuse when they were seduced.

"So your sayin we're Soul mates?" Hinata said lightly. When there was an explanation for it, it was easier to control herself, having her emotions on haywire was bound to do something to her form.

"There could be a possibility, I simply wanted to know what we were going to do for the party." Sasuke said.

"Pretend like theres nothing wrong?" Hinata asked.

"Hard to pretend theres nothing wrong when I want to touch you." Sasuke said huskily. His eyes had locked onto hers once again but she had to look away. The way he said it sent shivers up her spine and her blush intensified.

There was no one there, nothing keeping him from taking the final step. She tilted her head up to get a better look at him, his eyes seemed to go on forever, she could get lost in them. They stood like that, so close yet they did not touch.

And then he kissed her.

It was like everything wrong in the world was right a soon as he was there. Any fault he thought he had she would love. And this was love.

And such a forceful thing love was! Just yesterday she was worrying that something was wrong with her, that no man would take her, when she had this absolute amazing being before her.

Sasuke didn't like showing emotion, it was weakness that anybody could take advantage of yet this-love! It seemed too right, too breathe taking to ignore.

Suddenly the electricity that was cackling between them turned into a blazing fire that burst through, it was so powerful that they stumbled backward.

"What-what was that." Hinata asked weakly. The overpowering emotion was there, she could see Sasuke's light, she was aware of him completely. It wasn't like before where the closer they got the more they felt it, it was there and it wouldn't go away. Her body was tingling with pleasure and all she wanted to do was run into his arms.

Sasuke stared at his hand and put it out in front of him. An invitation. And somehow she just knew what it meant. Without hesitation she placed her hand in his and nothing happened. The flame seemed to calm down but the glow was there, it still sent a need in them but it was bearable.

"Hn."

"What now?" Hinata was nervous to say the least, there was no way around it now, the forceful feeling of love claimed her into him but whether they decided to accept it was still under contemplation.

"I think I love you." It would be stupid to deny it and he wasn't one to beat around the bush. His quick proclamation made her blink and then blush a thousand shades.

"Is-isn't it a l-little too quick to u-uh-"

"I am simply stating a fact. I can sense what your feeling and I find your embarassment pointless. I understood immediately and accepted it, now you should do the same." Sasuke said, a little hurt -not that he would admit it- that she couldn't understand.

Hinata forgot just how heartless Sasuke could be but she felt a twinge of guilt when she felt his pain -however small- and smiled a little.

"Yeah, I love you too." It was amazing how quickly everything happened but there was no other word to describe what she felt at the moment. The more she accepted it, the easier the force of the attraction was to control.

"Then come." He said before claiming her lips again. This time she wrapped her hands around his neck and he wound his around her waist.

It was strange really, he wanted Hinata, but not in the usual way he wanted females. It wasn't just sex, it was emotional comfort something he was now sure he couldn't get from anyone but her.

It was the first time she wanted anyone in such away, not just emotionally but physically. She wanted to know every little detail of him, mind and body. Perhaps this new link between them was sending some of Sasuke's... needs to her?

She should break away before she did something irrational on the school roof, she didn't want to lose her virginity there.

"Your still a virgin?" Sasuke muttered, surprised. He heard it as if it was his own thought but with a melodic tone.

"Y-you heard t-that?" Hinata said in equal surprise as she hid her face in his chest, her blush intensifying.

"So I can hear your thoughts as well." Sasuke said, trying to distract himself, it wasn't working. That meant he had to show her how to-

"Could you not think about that!" Hinata yelled, hitting him on his chest. It really was strange hearing someone else's thought but the thought seemed just a part of her as it was his.

"Couldn't help myself." Sasuke said, chuckling as she grew more embarrassed.

"Let's get back to the situation at hand." she said, glaring at him.

"Yes, well, no one will believe the soul mate situation and lets face it, a Vampire and a Werewolf, nobody will let us be." Sasuke said, nibbling her earlobe.

Even though Sasuke was distracting her, and he was a huge distraction, -he seemed to hear that thought as well and started kissing her- she saw the logic in that. Not only were they enemies but they were the son and daughter of the most powerful and influential families in all of the world. Maybe they should-

"S-sasuke!" How could Hinata even think straight when Sasuke was pushing her against the wall next to the school roof's door.

"I promise I won't go any farther than you want me to." Sasuke muttered as he relentlessly kissed her. Her mind was turning into mush. Nothing but his scent and the feel of him could get through her head and his hand was slightly closer to her breast than it was a minute ago.

Maybe, maybe they could go a little farther, it wasn't like it mattered where they did it-- and then the bell rang bringing Hinata back into reality.

"I have to go." Hinata said pushing him away. Sasuke sighed and stepped aside, knowing she wasn't willing to skip third period, he was so close to touching her boobs too.

"Too bad." Hinata muttered sarcastically as she went through the door. The link really was forcing some of Sasuke's perverted traits through, she really wanted him to do it.

"Ah!" Hinata squeaked. Sasuke's hands grabbed her breasts and he bit her shoulder playfully.

"Be careful what you wish for." Sasuke muttered into her ear as he groped her.

"Pervert!" she yelled, stepping on his foot as hard as she could.

"Shit." Sasuke cursed as he reached for his foot. She kissed him then, -and bit him hard in the process, drawing blood- and walked away.

"I guess we're acting like nothings wrong." Sasuke whispered. He collected himself -smoothing out his shirt and removing the dribble of blood- and shoved his hands in his pockets.

He smirked, she was just radiating embarassment. He took his time in getting to his class -he didn't have Hinata with him so who cared- and took the moment to let his mind catch up with his heart.

The strange emotions were overpowering and hard to control. It wasn't like before where the farther he got the less he could feel it. It was there, her light, her being was burning brightly and a part of him.

Two halves of a whole.

A simple statement that described them perfectly. Whatever the emotions were -since he really couldn't just name them- they led him to believe that as long as he had her -and he was hers now- there was no mountain too high, no ocean too deep, nothing impossible that he couldn't accomplish.

Either that or he was just a damn fool.

And it all happened in fifteen minutes.


W-O-W.... bet you didn't see that coming. I keep questioning myself that it all happened too fast but just the utter impossibility of soul mates makes it seem like that its ok.

So maybe it did happen quickly... thats the whole point. And I'm kinda digging this. I usually build up to the relationship so having a plot that makes it happen quickly is new to me, hope I did a good job! Constructive criticism is much appreciated, or just a pat on the back a for job well done is nice too!

And the Sakura bashing ends here, so don't hate me if it seems like the story is there to make her life a living hell, it'll get better.

I updated rather quickly which is a rarity, so don't look too much into this, I am rather fixated on this, my head running circles with the plot, so I'm good for now.

Once again, ask away if you don't quite understand, hopefully I did okay. Anyway...
