Chapter 2: A new begining.
1873
It's been about four years since momma did what she did. She was placed in jail for up to 40 years, maybe life depending on if she died before her sentence was over. I have been living with the Iruka, his girlfriend and Naruto. Naruto and I became even closer than before. We shared a room since their little cottage cabin was kind of small. Mr. Iruka, Naruto and I were thinking of way to make it bigger. We actually knew how we just didn't know when to start. Irukas girlfriend been excited for it, but could wait a little while. I thought Iruka's girlfriend was happy to have me, but was overwhelmed about what momma had done. They had been best friends in a way. Irukas girlfriend always tried to convince momma that drinking almost every night wasn't the right thing to do, and as hard she tried momma still wouldn't listen. And the more times momma got drunk, the farther their relationship had gone.
Mr. Iruka and his girlfriend helped me with daddy's funeral; Iruka and his girlfriend were in the middle high class with money, so I didn't feel horrible for using their money. They all helped me pick out a casket and where to bury him. We all decided on the property of where he lived for most of his life, and where I lived for six years of mine. It was sad knowing I wouldn't have a daddy to talk to. I wouldn't even have a momma anymore. And being ten I now understood that there was nothing I could do to change the past. But there was still a future that was hopefully still waiting for me, and maybe at the end daddy would be there to tell me how good I did.
Momma was furious at me when I visited her the first month, but then she was glad because I could be gone and she would never live that down. She told me every single time we went to visit her that she loved me and I did the right thing. I was never sure if she was telling the truth or not but I smiled at her and I said I loved her to and I know what I did was right. And now we were on our way to see her again and I could picture her sweet angelic face saying that again, while her light brown hair was in that horrible messy bun that it was always in. And her blue eyes starting to tear up while her eyebrows furrowed together in disgust at herself and her long slender fingers pushing against the glass between us waiting for me to join her.
"Come on Joe, we unfortunately don't have all day" Iruka's girlfriend said smiling down at me.
"Yes, mam." I said smiling while she led me to the front counter as we walked in. It was weird looking, it looked clean and dirty at the same time. I didn't think someone could see things like this but apparently you can. We walked over to the visitor window and waited for the cops to let momma out. I was getting anxious because it was her birthday today, April third, and I brought her a birthday present.
"Hey baby! How are you?" Momma was smiling again, that same sweet smile she uses to give me and daddy ever night before we would go to bed.
"Hi momma! Happy birthday!! I brought you something!" I gave the present to Iruka's girlfriend to take to the cop that gave the person on the other side things, he checked it out first and as soon as he saw it, his face went soft.
"Thanks babe! You know you didn't have to get me something!" Momma opened the present and her face was soft as soon as she saw it. It was a stuffed animal, not just any stuffed animal, her favorite kind of animal. A tiger and she was teary, "Thank you Sasuke-Kun! I love it!" I hadn't heard her say my name since the night everything went downhill, I was ecstatic to hear it.
"Your welcome momma! I picked it out just for you! So, do you get any special treatment today?" I knew the answer but I asked anyway because I wanted to her say once, just once that she would.
"No babe. You know that we don't get special treatments just because it's our birthday" momma was saying this through her whimpers.
"Alright lady, times up." The man that I hated more than anything at this dump said as I was about to tell her that I couldn't wait to give her a hug again.
"Bu…yes sir." We learned more than once not to mess with him. Momma kissed her little fingers and said, "I love you babe, a you did the right thing. Always remember that, because if you weren't here, I couldn't live with myself" then she pressed her fingers against the glass waiting for me, as I did she got up and followed the man.
We were heading home now, but somehow Iruka's girlfriend lost my little hand and I was taken away by another man. I panicked I was about to scream but then I didn't. I don't know what stopped me but I do regret it since it happened. Though I heard her calling for me, she was panicking now. I wanted to call her name and tell her I was ok, but I couldn't, it's like this man had a spell on me. And I didn't like this spell too much. It felt messed up and my heart was beating faster. The last thing I heard was Mrs. Johns running into the jail house and telling an officer that I was missing, and then all I heard was the rush of the wind.
I don't know how long until I was conscious again, but I heard these strange voices and I didn't like them too much. These people sounded dangerous, and I didn't know what to do. I was about to pass out again when I heard this deep famine voice shout at someone.
"How can you mistake that….boy for a man?" I was confused now, but I wanted to stay awake and listen. I knew they were talking about me though and it was in a way, exciting to know that they were talking about me. I felt important when I shouldn't have.
"How was I supposed to know? You didn't tell me what John looked like! I grabbed the first person that had the name John!" my eyes opened immediately and I sat up so quick my head started to hurt.
"Hello!" the woman's voice again, but It sounded much smoother and kind of.
"Hello" I whispered so quietly I couldn't even hear me, but they could somehow.
"What's your name dear child?"
"Momma always told me not to tell people I didn't know my name, sorry" I whispered that to, and they heard it still.
"Alright then, we won't make you tell us until you are comfortable around us."
"Thank you. But may I please go home?"
"I'm sorry, but you cannot return to the people who were taking care of you" I was scared no, and I shouldn't have been, but I was. The safe and secure I felt before was gone, it just completely vanished.
"But, but…why not? Why can't I go back?" I was yelling and even though I thought I was being rude I didn't care because they have no right at all to keep me in this, this. Hell I don't even know what it was.
"You don't need to yell, it's just someone here decided to grab the wrong person and we got you, I'm sorry dear but, there's just no way in hell you can go back. By the way, I'm Ino and this dumbass here is Gaara, the one that took you, so when you're stronger than him, then you can kill him."
I was confused at pissed off, I was pissed at this Gaara guy! He is so freaking stupid! I mean, who can mix me up with anyone, I had blue-ish hair, onyx eyes and a muscular body, for a ten year old, and not to many people I know looks just like me. And who the hell has onyx eyes anyways?
"So I can't leave or go home, because some dumbass named Jake got me mixed up with another person?" I was furious, if looks could only kill, Gaara would be passed out on the floor wishing he was never thought of!
"Pretty much. But you don't need to worry, 'because since he messed up and you can't go back we'll take care of you for a long time."
"I have one question thought." I was hoping they would say yes to my question, but it was very unlikely.
"Yes, every birthday only, we'll take you to visit you mom" I was happy, but I didn't ask the question, so I suppose they can read minds and that's what I'm going with for now.
I bowed my head low and said, "thank you so much."
"Go Gaara, take him to a loft. One near yours! You just screwed up this boy's life. Now you will take him and let him do whatever he wants! Do you understand me Jake?!" This Ino lady could get become scary, and fast. I didn't feel bad for this Gaara dude since he just screwed up the rest of my 40 or so years of life.
"Yes, mom" he said it in that snotty way kids talked when they were being, smartasses I think is what daddy would call it. It hurt just to think of daddy and his face. Before I knew it I was remembering the whole thing over again and I was on the floor shaking. Like a little old rag doll that a little girl would shake when she got mad about something, or one. I was picked up by this strong woman's arms who I didn't realize was in the room.
She was flawless, and had pink hair that went to her shoulders with black highlights that had green in it and a little bit of blue. I was speechless, I just stared at her emerald with a little red around the pupil colored eyes, and I was in a trance and wasn't scared anymore. I felt safe, since momma did what she did. I was happy at that moment, but not in a happy way that I would smile just lay there calm in this woman's arms.
"Sakura! What are you doing?! Don't hurt him!" I was confused, this Sakura didn't look like she could hurt a soul.
"He doesn't get what's going on. And I don't get why you guys would lie to him. I'm taking him to my room and I'm not going to tell him anything so keep your panties on. He needs to sleep and you need to apparently talk to Gaara, no?" her voice was just as beautiful as her face. Deep and husky, but you could tell she didn't even try, it was natural. I don't know why I, a ten year old, was feeling this way but I was and it scared me, s I just sat there and closed my eyes.
"True but if you give him even a hint, there will be trouble for you!" I could hear Karen yell with concern and worry in her voice. I wanted to know what was happening but something told me to keep my mouth shut and go with the flow.
I felt wind going through my hair, we were moving fast. I don't how though, we weren't in a vehicle. It felt like we were flying through the sky, I wanted to open my eyes but my body would respond, I tried again, and again and nothing happened.
Then the air stopped and I heard a door open. I know I shouldn't, but I trust her with my life. I heard the door slam and I was flying through the air, alone just me, and then I hit something soft, and I sunk into it. It was a bed, it was so comfy, I was tempted to fall asleep, but I wanted to know.
"What were you all talking bout in there?" I mumbled into the pillow as I heard a chair slide next to me and a 'thump' land on the hard wood.
"If I tell you, are you going to tell?" Sakura said in her husky voice.
"No, I swear!" I raised my hands up above the pillow, I was scared to look at her scared id get lost in her pail white skin and her dark eyes.
"Fine" I heard her take a deep breath, stand up, lock the door and I heard her looking out the window. "When your daddy died, he was a…vampire and he asked us to take you in so you could learn about him and the part of him that's in you. When Karen tells you looked scared and shocked like you do now. I had to go through this, and so did your daddy. Your daddy is younger r then all of us. Especially Ino. She has been a vampire for too long as she wants to protect our kind the ones our kind loves. Like you" she was silent, I wanted her to go on but I had a feeling there was no more she could tell me, I wanted to ask but I was scared to.
"What do you mean, your older then my daddy, you look like you're at least twenty-one, twenty-two!"
"Well, when you become a vampire, you live forever. Or until someone kills you. I've been a vampire since I was twenty-three. I was walking home one night alone. It was dark and I lived in a dangerous neighborhood. Someone was killed at least every night, I was walking down this dark alley to get home quicker, I regret it and wonder everyday if something else were to happen if I had gone the other way. But any way, I saw something shining brightly behind a dumpster. I was stupid and checked it, and when I got over to it...this, thing jumped at me and tackled me down to the ground! It had red eyes that shimmered in the barely light ally and stared right into mine and then looked away quickly and bit my neck, hard. Then Gaara came in and saved me from being killed. But I always wonder if I should have been and if he messed with everything planned for me. But we've been best friends since that day. He saved my ass in 1608 and I don't know how to repay him."
I was shocked. He knew that walking alone in an ally at night is just like the movies say it is to be. Waite, 1608! I shouldn't believe that but I do, it was hard to but I did! And I understood why I understood, because she was so pale and beautiful. And she did fly through those trees, right?
"I didn't fly through them, I ran through them."
"HOLY HELL MONKEYS! Can you read minds to?"
"Ha, yea. It kind of sucks sometimes, though. Well you need to sleep; they'll be looking for us in a little while."
"Ok, good night" I loved her laugh.
The next morning I woke up to yelling, I was about to sit up and screamed but I then remembered what happened last night.
"Why the hell did you tell him? I thought you said you wouldn't" Ino now had a voice that sounded like she was going to cry, but she didn't and wasn't going to.
"Because! Do you remember how you wanted to know what was happening to you when that chick bit you? How you were curious as to why your parents couldn't tell you! I'm pretty sure is daddy being a vampire, or whatever was going through his head he damned sure wanted to know what is daddy was, or is!" I heard Sakura's voice. I got her in trouble just because I wanted to know, I knew that I had to tell the truth because she looked at me and sighed.
"I remember. Your right, maybe you should be the leader of this" I heard Ino say this in a sad voice and look at the window. I sat up; I thought it would be a good time to interrupt the argument.
"Good morning" I saw Ino smile brightly at me.
"Good morning" I smiled at her.
"Are you hungry? You didn't eat last night."
"Yea, I am. Thank you" I sat up and realized that couldn't wear what I slept in last night. I could but it would be really nasty, but I could.
"Here" I felt clothes hit my face, and Sakura threw them at my face and said it. I was shocked at how different she was being now. Was she mad at me because I got her in trouble?
"I'm sorry, Sakura, you knows, for getting you in trouble" I was scared to talk but she wasn't going to do anything to me since she and my daddy were friends.
"There's nothing for you to be sorry of now get dressed, Ino wants me to show you where you'll be staying and then take you to eat your food" as soon as she finished that sentence she walked out.
I had blue shirt with a cat on it the own at me and sweat pants thrown at me. I slipped out of the clothes I was wearing and folded them and sat them next to me on the bed and then I slipped on the t-shirt and then the pants and put my socks and shoes back on and walked out the door.
"You ready to go?" Sakura said as soon as I shut the door, I jumped at least two feet high.
"Uhh, yea. Can we walk?" she made a deep sigh.
"Yea, sure."
The walk was silent I wanted to ask if she was mad at me but I was scared to. I didn't know if she was reading my mind I don't think she was though, because when she read mine last time I had a chilly sensation going up and down my spine.
"Here, look at me before we go in. I'm going to show you were you are and how you're going to get places from here. If you left when you walk out your door and walk forever your at Gaara's house, right, a few miles, my house. You go straight; you reach the main place where you will be going until we can go out and buy you food for, ok?" Sakura said this quickly, but I got it so I nodded. I wanted to know what was behind the house but, I didn't ask I thought better not to.
I walked in and was shocked. It was huge, when you walked in there was a chandler in the foyer and you could go anywhere if you went straight there was a staircase in the middle and on either was doors that led to looked like a library or something with lots of books, the doors were clear with a design of vines with flowers it was so pretty. Then I went through the archway on left and through it was a kitchen, and if you were to go to the right there was a little dining room and if you went out the next archway you were in the foyer again. Then I went through the archway that was on the right when I walked in and it was a living room, and the next archway had games and things like that in it.
She was waiting for me at the top of the stairs and I ran up them, I tripped and almost fell but I was caught and carried up the stairs the rest of the way. I walked thought the first doorway and there was a decent sized bed in it, and a desk and a two seat couch. The next one was at the end of the hallway, it had a bigger bed, an l east a queen size and a desk and a walk in closet, a master bathroom with a huge tub, and two sinks, and it was beautiful. I walked back into the room and laid on the bed and sunk into it. I was tempted to go to sleep, but I didn't.
"Ok, you don't need to look at the other rooms their just storage and another bathroom. Ok? Let's go" Sakura said and picked me up as soon as I out my stuff on the bed and carried me down and out the door.
"Climb on my back" she squatted waiting for me to do what she said.
"What?" I was shocked and my eyes were the size of potatoes.
"Climb. On. My. Back. Did you understand that?" I got it and climbed on; she stood up and took off. Everything was a blur, the trees, the squirrels, everything. I was starting to get a headache, I wasn't sure if she would wine but I didn't care, I laid my head on her shoulder. I felt her stiffen in the air and then she just continued moving.
I was woken up when she stopped and moved her shoulder a bit and said, "Were here, wake up."
"Sakura, is he ok? Is he alive?" I heard Ino's voice, she always talked I realized, it was kind of annoying.
"No Ino, I killed him. I sucked all his blood out and thought, this is delicious. I'm going to drain him! I can't stop, moan, moan" I giggled because of the sarcastic-ness in her voice.
"Oh, he's ok. Ok, come on little buddy, let's get you some pancakes and waffles, and milk" Ino pulled me off Sakura back as she said this and led me in.
"Is Sakura-Chan coming?" I asked. I sounded like I was five, not ten.
"Yes, Sakura-Chan's coming" Ino spoke up; I reached out for Sakura hand. I finally realized that their skin was freezing cold, and I shivered.
"Ino, I got to find Gaara soon, ok?" Sakura spoke up in a serious voice. I realize that that's what she was going to do as soon as she got me here.
"Hey, Sakura, Ino. Why did Jake grab me and not this John?" I wanted to know, I have every right to know!
"Well, honestly, Gaara grabbed the right person. We just wanted to act like we wanted to grab someone else so when you woke up, we would have an excuse so you wouldn't be scared. But I'm sure you were since we can't let you go home" Ino said. I froze in my place and Ino and Sakura stopped in place with me.
