Her reaction was the utter opposite of what he had suspected. He expected screaming, freaking out and maybe even an anxiety attack, but what he got was a completely smug grin, and she said something that he hadn't expected as well.

"I knew I felt like I knew you," she said her grin still on her face. Sasuke did a double take, and even took a step back. Her statement had taken him off guard and even off balance. Sasuke blinked at her for a while, indicating that he wanted an explanation on what she had said, "When you greeted me this afternoon, my heart squeezed and I felt as if I knew you. Once you said you were a vampire, I got flashes of when I knew you in past lives."

"That seriously happened?" Sasuke asked softly, leaning forward. Even he couldn't hide his confusion and wonderment at this situation. Sakura was all serious now; maybe even a little bewildered at Sasuke's confusion.

"This doesn't happen often?" Sakura whispered her emerald eyes wide with astonishment. Before Sasuke could say a thing, Naruto made his presence known in the doorway.

"HEY BITCHES," Naruto screamed, at the top of his lungs, strutting in like he owned the room. Sasuke glared at the blonde, but Sakura bristled.

"Naruto," she growled, standing up, her fists clenched tightly at her sides, her hands were shaking slightly and slowly, very slowly, she crept upon the blonde boy. He was smiling wide, so he must not have seen Sakura approaching. She drew back her arm and punched him, hard, in the shoulder. Of course he didn't move, he's a vampire, ten times as strong as a human is, but he did stop smiling and looked down at Sakura.

"What was that for?" he demanded of her, pathetically. He pretended to be hurt. Sakura was silent, and she cradled her hand to her chest, she was still glaring daggers at him, though.

"Don't talk like that in front of me," she growled, tears in the corners of her eyes. Sasuke began to get worried; he could just feel her pain. It was emanating in the knuckles of the right hand that she punched Naruto with. Sasuke didn't think Naruto was that solid.

"Sakura-chan, are you okay?" Naruto spoke the exact same question Sasuke was about to ask. That damn Dobe, beating him to the questions each time. Sakura seemed reluctant to answer him; she turned away from the both of them. Sasuke stepped into her line of vision, staring down at her with his onyx eyes; he broke her with his stare.

"Why is Naruto so…solid?" she whispered, as if she didn't know Naruto could hear her just as well if she were talking in a normal voice. Sasuke sighed; it was much harder to say the second time.

"He's a vampire too," he said in all seriousness. Sakura stared up at him, as if processing what he had just said; annoyance swam across her eyes and then overtook her entire being. Sasuke began to take a step back when she grabbed a handful of his t-shirt and yelled.

"That would have been nice to know before I punched him!" she hollered at Sasuke. This version of his SoulMate was so different than the others that were her. She was accepting, where all—and yes he meant all—of the others were quick to jump to conclusions and brand him as a killer. Well, actually…he was a killer. He especially liked the fat ones…yum…the fat ones. Which reminded him, he never got his snack before he hit the road for home. Dobe…

"I…I-I'm sorry?" Sasuke's apology ended like a question. Sasuke really didn't know what to say to that. Sakura growled at him, but let go of his shirt. She cradled her hand to her chest once again, "let me see it," Sasuke held out his hand to her. Cautiously she placed her hand in his and Sasuke scrutinized the structure of it, "it doesn't look broken, but you shouldn't use it for a while."

"Are you a doctor," Sakura demanded harshly of Sasuke. Sasuke backed up a step, why was she mad at him, too? Sasuke blinked at Sakura, utterly taken aback by Sakura's mood.

"Well, no, but, I have enhanced sight, so I can see the way the bone is supposed to be. I can't see if you have a fraction or something like that, I can just tell if it's broken or not," Sasuke wanted to disband this feud between them. He didn't mean to make Sakura upset.

Sakura sighed, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to snap at you," before she even finished her sentence, Sasuke was already shaking his head. He didn't smile or whatnot, but he did reassure her.

"It's not your fault. Dobe did provoke you," Sasuke blamed it all on Naruto, he did this on purpose. He wanted to see Naruto yell. He thought this was an interesting sight to see.

"I didn't do jack shit!" Naruto yelled his eyes brows turned down in discontent. He was glaring at Sasuke, growling at him. Sasuke gave him that 'oh well,' shrug of his shoulders. Naruto roared, "YOU CAN GO SUCK MY BALLS."

"Naruto," Sakura growled again. Sasuke felt obliged to warn her this time.

"Watch out, Sakura. He's a vampire. He's solid and it will hurt your hand again," Sasuke was completely serious, but for some reason, Naruto thought it was hilarious and Sakura looked like she was trying to blow up his head with her mind.

"I'm going back to sleep," she crawled into the bed and covered herself entirely with the blankets.

"Bu—but I have things I need to tell you," Sasuke tried to coax her out from under the covers, but to no avail, she wasn't coming out anytime soon. Sasuke sighed and turned to Naruto who was still fuming from Sasuke's accusation, but having a hard time hiding his amusement at Sasuke's not-so joke.

"Want to go get something to eat?" Sasuke and Naruto have this…how you say…code for what they eat. There are two types of vampires, the type like Sasuke and Naruto who prey on humans and the vampires that prey on animals. Now don't get Sasuke wrong, he has tried the 'vegan' diet, but it wasn't as satisfying as human blood. But Sasuke and Naruto were uncomfortable in saying, 'let's go kill someone!' so they coded their words. It makes them seem as if they are two regular dudes heading out to get something to eat. At Sasuke's inquiry, Naruto's eyes lit up.

"Yes!" he exclaimed, already running from the room. Sasuke shook his head, took one more look at the 'sleeping' Sakura and then left for downstairs.

"Kakashi, can you watch the house while Naruto and I are out?" Sasuke asked of the older-looking vampire. Kakashi didn't say a word, just nodded solemnly, "thank you."

As Sasuke was opening the door, Kiba was walking in, "Kiba, what took you so long?" Sasuke had started to get worried. Kiba smirked at Sasuke, one that was confident and maybe a little sadistic.

"I had to look for the right prey," he snorted in spite of himself, brushing passed Sasuke, into the house. Sasuke rolled his eyes, he knew Kiba was picky.

"Say, Sakura is upstairs sleeping, mind if you help Kakashi watch the house while Naruto and I go out to eat?" Sasuke inquired of the brown haired boy. Subtly he nodded his head and disappeared into the house. Sasuke shook his head and lead Naruto out of the house and to the nearest village.

"Find me a fat one and I'll find you a cute one, deal?" Sasuke took up the ready position and Naruto followed suit.

"Deal," his voice was husky and low. This was how Naruto got when he was hungry. See Naruto can get the fat ones better than Sasuke can and Sasuke…god help him…can get the cutes ones.

"On your marks," they treat this as a race, "get set," they're tied right now, on who has won the most, "go!" Sasuke doesn't intend on losing this time. Sasuke's fangs grew and his eyesight blurred. All he could see was the blood running through each of the humans he encountered. Ugly, skinny, not fat enough, cute! Using his speed, he stopped before the girl; put her in the trance he put Sakura in, picked her up and ran for the forest line. The smell of Naruto was faint, indicating that he wasn't back yet. Yes!

When Naruto met him at the forest line, he was huffing and puffing with a fat girl dragging behind him, "Dobe. You're cruel."

Naruto smirked deviously at Sasuke, "she was heavy," he shrugged indifferently. Sasuke shook his head, "you get what I ordered?"

"And I kept her in pristine condition," Sasuke reported pointing to the dazed woman behind him. She was swaying back and forth and back and forth. Naruto and Sasuke slapped hands and moved to their respectable prey.

Sasuke let the blood run down from the corner of his mouth. He had drained the girl dry and was waiting for Naruto to finish. He liked to take his time with his prey, well, so did Sasuke, but he needed to get back to Sakura. He liked this reincarnation of his SoulMate.

"Dobe," Sasuke called his attention, Naruto stopped in the middle of his 'custom.'

"What?" he had blood coming from the corner of his mouth too. It dripped into his lap and Sasuke couldn't help but watch it drip slowly.

"We need to go soon. Hurry up," Sasuke directed, softly, his hands on his hips. Naruto grunted and went back to business. Within a couple seconds, he was standing back up and wiping the excess blood off of his mouth.

"You owe me," he grunted approaching Sasuke's side. Sasuke followed suit and wiped his mouth on his arm. Sasuke accepted that fact and started for home. Sasuke took the lead, their feet crunching along the grass. But it was soft enough that a nearby human couldn't hear it. Sasuke ran through a cloud of…well…animals? But why would there be a concentrated stench of different species of animals? From bunnies to wolves. They'd never be in the same area at once, Sasuke was getting antsy.

"Teme, you smell that?" Naruto lowered his voice and darted to Sasuke's side. His face was serious and he was watching Sasuke with a new found intensity that Sasuke had never seen before.

"I do," Sasuke answered, seriously. He kept his eyes straight ahead. He dodged the trees like a pro, and he heard Naruto following his every move. What if Sakura was in trouble? Sasuke sped up his steps, flashing here and there and almost home. Naruto called after him.

"Teme, slow down, I can't run as fast as you," Naruto was trying to keep his voice low, but high enough for Sasuke to hear him. Sasuke sighed, but didn't slow up. He had to get to Sakura, the worry was coursing through him and he couldn't breathe very well with this cloud hanging over his head.

"There's the clearing, let's go," Sasuke muttered, he knew Naruto heard him, for Sasuke heard Naruto's feet speed up behind him. Sasuke broke through to the clearing first, then Naruto second. The house looked fine and he didn't smell that concentrated animal smell anymore. Sasuke's entire being froze up, he knew what was happening. They were being surveillanced; their enemies were in the bushes. Sasuke whirled around, following his nose to the culprits.

"Ehh…Teme? Where are you going?" Naruto followed timidly after him. Sasuke didn't answer him, he needed to stay silent. This was pissing him off. After all, HE FUCKING CREATED THEM. They should be grateful to him for giving them eternal life. There, he found them…him? Their side only sent one, heh, rookie move.

Someone ran off into the forest, crap, he had been seen. Sasuke ran after him, leaving Naruto in his wake. Not even a second later he caught up to the little vegan. Sasuke grabbed him by the scruff of his shirt.

"Why the hell were you at my house?" he demanded of the young boy. He reeked of animals, Sasuke could hardly stand it. The boy only smiled sadistically, his fangs showing. Sasuke growled and shook him threateningly. The boy didn't even look scared of him. Sasuke's eyes blurred, and all he saw was red. This wasn't a special vampire power or some shit like that, Sasuke was just pissed off, seriously pissed off. He drove the boy into a tree. Now a normal human would have bounced off of it, or made some sort of pain face. Oh, but they were vampires, instead of the tree supporting him or digging painfully into his back, it splintered, and cracked. The boy's face never contorted out of that sadistic grin. He uttered his first words to Sasuke.

"War…we will start a war. You will be ended. We will win," his voice was deep and confident. Sasuke couldn't handle it anymore. He broke the guy's neck, ultimately ending his life. See, vampires can die one of two ways, stake to the heart or a broken neck. Sasuke didn't have a stake. The boy's lifeless body slumped to the ground and he began to disintegrate in front of him.

"Hn," he had to settle down before he entered his house. He didn't want to have his angry emotions rub off on Kiba, Naruto, Kakashi and dear god not Sakura. He meandered from the forest, back to his home where Naruto was still waiting for him in the clearing.

"Teme, what was that all about?" Naruto waited until Sasuke walked passed him to follow. Sasuke was still in no mood to talk.

"Hn," was all he said.
