A/N: Hey there good people! I've been very busy lately so couldn't find time for my stories. Sooo here's the update! Hope you like it, enjoy!
However, there are changes that I should make. In the last chapter, I gave you people a brief overview of what's going to happen in the next chapter. I would like to shift that scene in my future chapters. Sorry for the inconvenience but my writing wouldn't work out that way. I have to like, show some extra introductions before that happens, and yes, the waiting won't be too long I promise. The mystery faces will probably appear in the next few chapters. Sorry once again.

Chapter 2: A Playful Mess

Sakura exited the room of the stranger who's now her 'master'. "As if he could make me do whatever he wishes. " She rolled her jade orbs. "Who cares even if he's one of the Uchihas?! I won't let him control me!"
Suddenly a voice out of the blue entered her mind. This foreign sensation, as if there was someone who knew what she was thinking. "You might just watch your tongue, familiar."
It was the same velvety, rich and devilish voice of that Uchiha stranger. This angered Sakura and she could feel the blood boiling in her head. She blurted out loud," Why, do you even follow me? Creep!"

Her voice echoed through the stairway.

Creep, Creep, Creep…

"Idiotic familiar!" The voice in her head sighed in frustration. "You'll wake the whole Uchiha mansion at a time like this and I'll be held liable for keeping a disobedient familiar."

"Since when did I even agree to become your familiar?" Sakura snapped back. "I don't work for creatures who destroy my race. That's just so cowardly and disgusting!"

"You'll go nowhere trying to protect your race now. Too late, my dear."

She didn't reply back. He was right at some point. Instead of taking the conversation further, she proceeded in climbing down the stairs to meet some maids who'd show

her where she'll stay.

There were three girls who were whispering amongst themselves, and squealing with clapping their hands. "What's with these people?" Sakura wondered. She overheard some of their words and her heart started thumping, an adrenaline rush. She could feel herself blushing.

"Ayame and Tsuki!" the red-headed girl squealed. "Isn't it quite unusual for the Young Master to bring a maiden home and tell us to attend to her? I mean, this is the first time His Majesty has done something like this!"

The girl called Ayame joined the excitement. "I know, right? He hasn't kept a familiar since his birth, but now? It's a girl who is his familiar! Remember how he told us that he despised women?"

The last one, Tsuki remarked, "Is he actually planning for a mate, and pretending to keep the girl like a 'familiar' until the time comes?"

They could never proceed the conversation further when their said guest came towards them with silent steps. They zipped off their mouths and Sakura pretended like she didn't hear a single word of theirs. The three maids gave her a heartwarming smile, and the red-head spoke to give a brief introduction. "Ah! You must be Haruno-sama, a guest of His Majesty. A pleasure to meet you, I'm Leona. These people work with me-"she motioned at those other two maids who were standing side by side wither her. "They are Tsuki and Ayame." They smiled and bowed. "Pleasure to meet you, Haruno-sama!" they said in unison. Sakura smiled back, and bowed back. They seemed like really nice people to her and thought living with them wouldn't hurt. Not to mention, they looked human and- happy? Why?

Questions couldn't be asked as they proceeded to escort her to her room. Indeed, she looked tired and those baggy eyes could answer the state she was in. They unlocked her room, and a luxurious aura hit her in the eyes. The room smelled of roses and looked something out of ordinary. The walls were coated with the finest of stones and the curtains were a light shade of her hair color. The bed was a king-sized one with the most beautiful bed covers ever made. There was a humongous veranda from where spring fields and gardens could be seen. She was of no royalty, and the room could speak that from itself.

"Like it?" asked the cheerful Leona.

"Yes, but," Sakura was at a loss for words. "I'm not used to such extravagancy. I can't accept this."

"Oh, no don't say that." Ayame looked with concerned eyes. "We can't let you reject such luxury, Haruno-sama or else Young Master would crucify our souls. It's an order, we're sorry."

Sakura smiled. "Oh, alright. And you can quit with the royal suffix. Just call me Sakura."

The three of them looked at each other, unsure but then smiled. "Alright, Sakura! Call us if you need anything."

"Sure."

They bowed and were dismissed.

Sakura sighed. "Such a tiring day it was!" She decided to take a shower, and changed in those sleeping gowns and went to sleep. How she wished this madness would just end up being dreams in her sleep.

Soon it was morning, and birds chirped like an alarm clock to wake the sleeping cherry blossom up. Her eyelids slowly fluttered open to welcome the new day. Damn, it's been a while since she ever slept this peacefully, and why was that? Where was she anyways? She collected her surroundings and recalled it all. Maybe this was reality, or a dream she would never wake up. Dream? Nightmare? Living with satanic creatures are not dreams but nightmares, yet she's actually enjoying the company.
Sakura mentally slapped herself. "Whats wrong with me, judging things by a couple of hours? They'll use me like those bastards in the tavern, and throw me away like trash can when there is nothing more productive. For what am I getting so happy about? This temporary bliss? Geez, they all are the same! Filthy Vampires!"

Glancing from the veranda, she could outline a well-built figure training himself with blood and sweat. "Is it that jerk?" Sakura stared with squinted eyes.

"He's hotter with those shirts taken off." Inner Sakura fanned herself, as if the delusional being is actually a real person.

"Where were you all this time? It's been so long, I missed your annoying company." Oh Sakura, you queen of sarcasm. "Stop thinking such stuffs."

"Don't lie, Sakura you find him attractive. Look at his swift motions and the way his bangs fly over his flawless face. He's an art!"

"No, what's attractive about him? He's a jerk who makes fun of me and thinks he's all that superior with his name, like what does he think he really is?"

"Stop trying to look cool, Sakura. You know, you do find him attractive at his training session because you are me and I am you, so?"

Inner Sakura was always logical and she hated it because it hurt her ego. Then she remembered- "Shit!" Sakura cursed with a surprised face. "He's supposed to know about what I think, right? Oh god, I hate myself! Now he'll act cooler knowing the fact that I- I mean my inner self finds him attractive!" She could already feel Sasuke Uchiha smirking from all the way to the training grounds.

"Good morning, familiar. I hope my body gave you a break from your depressing thoughts." His voice echoed in her mind. She could already feel him laughing. "Why don't you come downstairs and join the breakfast with my family? I'll be there introducing you to my parents. They wanted to see you, since I finally had a familiar after thousands of years. "

"Okay, I'll get back on you for making fun of me later. Since you've helped me with a nice sleep, I'll do the favor of listening to you ONCE."

"Sure. Get ready. I've arranged some clothes in the wardrobe you have. Tell me if you like the collections or not. I'll have to know what type my familiar desires, no?"

"Okay, bye. Keep quiet."

She proceeded on checking out the attires he left in the wardrobe. Her eyes were blessed, they were the most beautiful gowns she'd ever seen, and the colors were not possible for a human emotion to handle. As if the dresses were living beings and told stories with their irresistibly gorgeous colors. She had a hard time picking one, so finally decided on a lemon yellow gown which was backless and had stones embroidered. She used a pale cherry scarf to cover the back. Staring at the mirror, she couldn't recognize herself. She looked clean, fresh and- powerful? What's making her feel superior, she didn't know. Maybe the dress itself.
She comber her hair, and did some light make up. Checking the mirror for flaws, she seemed okay and decided to hit the roads. "I'm ready. Meeting his family, alright. Are they weird things or just like Sasuke? He isn't that bad, just like I imagined. Why's he treating me like such treasure when I'm just a familiar?"

"Familiar, do you hear me? What's taking you so long?" Sasuke sounded impatient in her mind.

"I'm sorry but I do have a name, please Uchiha-sama. Call me something with my name."

"Okay, I might just call you MY little blossom."

Oh he's such a womanizer, you could by the way he calls out your name. Sakura blushed even if that was a sweet talk. "Okay, fine but not in public. It'll get a bit weird."

"Weird? What do you mean?" He asked innocently, as if he didn't know what she meant. "You're MY little blossom after all and why would it get weird for creatures to know that I OWN you?"

"I hate you. Why do you do this to me?" Sakura asked furious. She could tell her anger and pain were amusements to him. "Jerk."

Sasuke Uchiha, seated in the comfortable royal chair of his, sat waiting for a certain someone with cherry hair. Yes, his familiar. Though he wouldn't admit, it was always fun going inside her mind and taunting her until she got furious. Yes, him, The Great Sasuke Uchiha for the first time met a woman with whom his charms never worked out. If this was one of his fangirls, they'll pour themselves over his sculpted body like a shameless whore but she was different. "Very hard to get, I see. Do you leave me a challenge, hm?" He replied to the furious lady he was teasing in the psychic conversation.

"Like I care." She talked as if he didn't interest her.

After a while, he heard footsteps coming down the stairs. There stood his familiar- No, a goddess. Everything was on point, her eyes that were broken, her lips that were red due to anxiety and her face showed no signs of pain. She smiled, a forceful one. "Are we going, master?" The Uchiha seemed to be in a daze at the beauty before him, and didn't hear. "What's she doing to me?"

After a split second, Sasuke smirked back. "You look beautiful. Mind taking my arm?" He offered his arm.

Sakura rolled her eyes. "Sure."

And off they went to the breakfast table to meet the Uchiha family. Sakura was nervous, and she was excited at the same time. Part of her told that they were bad bloods, and part of her believed that they were good people. The twist was, even if the Uchiha bloodlines were the most powerful and fearful vampire beings, but why is it that Sasuke was such a playful mess?

A/N: Sorry for the sucky ending. Have a good day, and please review.
