Not too many people appreciate having pets around the house, unless they were properly trained.
In this case, however, two hyperactive Shifters can't stop running around the large house the Silver Knights live in, and it was making Neji pissed off.
"Will you two pipe down and just sit still?"
The two immediately did by plopping down on the couch.
"Finally…" Neji turned to look at Sasuke's small smirk. "What did you have in mind when we brought these two home?"
"To piss you off."
"Seriously." He grumbled. "I know you, you're planning something."
Sasuke shook his head and turned his back to them. "Since you disobeyed a direct order, you'll have to babysit those two."
"What?"
"You and Shino," He stopped. "And Lee."
"And what about Shikamaru?" Shino asked, accepting the punishment, knowing that it wasn't too bad, especially since the two Werewolves were easy to scare.
"He can relax," He saw Shikamaru sigh in relief. "For now."
Sometimes, their Lead Knight can be a jackass when he wants to be.
Immortal Sin
"Spark of Interest"
The Silver Knights are a team of teenaged-looking Vampires who blend-in with humans in order to protect them from Werewolves who wish to devour their flesh. Only four members are selected to serve under someone, and current members are replaced when dead, or perhaps promoted to a higher position in another group.
Silver Knights hunt down Werewolves, and are lead by the leader of the team whom the Immortals label as "Lead Knight".
That being Sasuke, he knows his responsibilities in the group; whenever they make a mistake, he takes the blame for everything since his role is to keep them in line, and higher ranking Immortals make sure that he remembers it.
It's one of the reasons why the guys listen to him, because they don't want him dealing with the elder groups or the more experienced ones called Eclipse.
He didn't really want the position of Lead Knight but it wasn't his choice to make.
Sasuke knew that his role would be permanent unless Eclipse promotes him to a higher rank, or when someone better than him comes.
The chance of the latter option, however, is slim. His brother said so, and Itachi was one of the youngest Immortals who has a role in Eclipse.
The younger sibling of the two just happens to have better control of his temper, making the other Knights wonder just how he does it. Sasuke still claims that Shikamaru has longer patience than him, but due to the supposed genius' laziness, Sasuke got stuck with the job as the Lead Knight.
Of course, Itachi had pointed out that Shikamaru lacked perfect control for his abilities, whereas Sasuke has no problem dealing with it.
Aside from that, out of all the Knights, he happens to be well disciplined when it comes to blood cravings.
The most days an Immortal of their caliber could go without blood is three – Sasuke can take another day if it means not attacking a human.
"Geez." He sighed and shook his head to get rid of those thoughts as to why he became the Lead Knight. "I hate this job."
He felt stressed – especially since Shino just went on another rampage earlier, and he knew for a fact that he'll have to pay a visit to the elders later on.
"I am not looking forward to that meeting." He clenched his hands that were pressed up against the tiled walls of the bathroom. He thought taking a shower would help him calm down, but as it turns out, it didn't. He may have had perfect control for his temper, but he knew that keeping things bottled up would one day make him erupt.
He needed an outlet.
"Interesting."
"You want them? You can keep them."
Itachi had to smirk at Neji's immediate answer. "I do believe my brother assigned you the job to take care of them."
"Not in the way I had wanted." He grunted, arms still crossed as the two Werewolves wrestled each other playfully on the floor. "Mutts."
Their keen sense of hearing caused them to growl and snarl at Neji, who glared back at them, not the least bit intimidated.
"You wanna have a go at it?" The younger Shifter challenged.
"Bring it on then, mongrel!" Neji snapped, fisting his hands.
"Oh you did not just say that!" The older seethed.
Itachi raised a brow in amusement. "Aren't you going to stop them?"
Shino, Shikamaru, and Lee looked at the older Vampire.
"When Neji snaps, no one but Sasuke can stop him." Shino shrugged. "Besides, I've been itching to actually let these two have it."
"Too troublesome." Shikamaru yawned.
"I feel like this is a good chance to test our strengths!" Lee declared enthusiastically.
Itachi shook his head. Lee never changes.
"Go ahead," He told Neji with one eye closed. "If you want Sasuke to take another blame for your soon-to-be mistake..."
That got Neji to back down and lower his head, and that confused the two Shifters greatly.
"Seeing as you'll be living together," Itachi coughed to get the attention of the two Werewolves. "Sasuke is… how should I put it… the Alpha of the pack."
That got the two to stiffen.
"But… he was the one who said to take us in."
"True," Itachi nodded. "But we're Immortals, we're not Shifters." He stated. "Unlike in your pack, the Alpha here can decide whether there's a need for new members to prove themselves or not."
"Hold it," Shino sat up. "New members?"
Itachi looked over at the weasel clinging on his right shoulder and grinned. "As of today, they're now official members of the Silver Knights – Eclipse's orders."
"BUT THEY'RE WEREWOLVES!" Neji shouted.
"And your Lead Knight welcomed them without a problem." Itachi stroked his pet Guardian. "You took an oath to obey on the day you were chosen as a Knight."
That got Neji to shut his mouth as he threw a glare at the Werewolves that started whimpering.
"Neji."
Neji clicked his tongue and averted his gaze elsewhere, earning relieved sighs from the two pups.
"Wow, they were just snarling earlier too…" Shikamaru commented, afterwards, turned to Sasuke. "Where are you headed?"
Sasuke pulled on a black hooded jacket over his shirt before answering: "Shizune's." and he was out the door.
"Another report to Society, and then a new meeting with the Eclipse later." Shino shook his head. "I'd hate to be in his shoes."
Itachi just gave a small grin. "Then perhaps you can stop disobeying his orders?"
Again, that got another Knight to shut up.
How is it that Eclipse knows everything?
"Closing time – finally."
"Wow Sakura, you really look tired."
"Thanks for pointing out the obvious Sai, but I'm fine none the less."
He quirked a brow. "If only you were in the same direction as Matsuri and I."
"I don't need an escort." She said with a smirk as she raised a fist. "I can take care of myself."
"It still doesn't change the fact that you're clumsy."
She jumped at the voice behind her, and after turning around, she gave a sigh and placed a hand on her heart. "You scared me."
Sasuke just smirked before looking at the closed store. "Hn. Shizune's gone?"
"Yeah, you missed her about ten minutes ago." Sai answered. "Perhaps you can come back tomorrow?"
"Depends." He murmured, afterwards, glanced at the two. "Don't you… have school tomorrow?"
Sai smiled. "I'm skipping. I need some sleep."
"Two of our staff didn't report, and one just quitted, so we had to stay till closing time." Sakura explained. "So..."
"Hn. That explains Shizune's offer." He said in a soft voice, the two barely hearing him.
"Sorry for making you two wait! I had to- oh." Matsuri stopped and smiled. "Am I… interrupting?"
Sai just shrugged. "It's not really a serious conversation. But if you're ready to go, then let's go."
"Yeah, Sakura, and… um…"
"Sasuke."
"Sasuke, right. I'm Matsuri." She nodded once. "Come on Sai." And the two left.
Sakura felt awkward all of a sudden being alone with a guy she barely knew.
"It doesn't help the fact that he's good-looking…" She sighed silently and looked up at him, only realizing now just how tall he is. "Well, I better head home."
"It's a little late for you to be going home alone," He pointed out. "Where do you live? I'll walk with you."
She flushed slightly at that.
"Well, this is… a big surprise." Shikamaru drawled upon opening the front door of the large mansion they live in. "What brings the famous three thugs of the Eclipse here?"
"Where's Uchiha?"
"Not here, obviously." Shino muttered from inside, not liking the presence of the visitors.
The Knights didn't really respect the higher ranks after all.
"If he comes back, tell him that these two… mutts, will be under him from now on, meaning, they'll be your… pets."
Both Werewolves glared, knowing that 'pet' was just another term for 'slave'.
One of the three turned to the two Shifters. "Problem, mongrels?"
"If you're here to pick a fight with us," Neji moved in front of the two to block them from the underlings of Eclipse. "Then I suggest you just leave."
Shikamaru straightened up, and so did Shino and Lee.
A snort escaped one of the three. "Think you can handle us? You're just Uchiha's lackeys."
"Compared to the likes of an ass-kisser like you, I'd rather be a lackey." Neji retorted with a smirk.
"Why you-"
"Enough." The eldest of the three barked. "You tell Uchiha to teach you about respect."
"Respect is earned, not taught."
Silence engulfed the two groups, and the Shifters could feel the thick tension.
"Hmph. Tell Uchiha that Eclipse will be waiting for his arrival."
"Yeah, whatever." Shikamaru yawned. "Itachi already arrived earlier, why does he need to see the Elders?"
The smirks that appeared on the three's lips had the Knights frown.
"For your disobedience, of course."
Step. Step. Step. Step.
She didn't know whether she preferred hearing their footfalls over silence, but either way, both options made her fidget.
After all, this guy was the person who has witnessed and experienced her clumsiness – twice in one day too. And he was a new student as well, not to mention someone who appears to be from a well-off family.
"Personally, it's kind of… weird for a boy of his status to be walking a girl he barely knows home…" She bit her lower lip. "Scratch that, he can't possibly be just travelling on foot all the time…"
"You can talk if you want."
She blinked. For a second, she almost believed he was mute due to his silence.
"I can tell you're nervous."
That got her to flinch. "Is it that obvious?"
"For me, yes." He said, glancing at her from the corner of his eyes. "I just happen to like observing people in how they talk with their body language."
"…Ah, I see…"
"Don't think I'm a pervert just because of that."
"W-Well," She flushed. "It's kind of hard not to, right?"
"Hn." The left side of his mouth curved upwards a bit. "It helps if you want to separate the liars from the honest ones."
"I bet you've never been deceived in your entire life."
"I have, once." He answered. "That's why I tend to keep an eye on any signs of lying."
"You'd make a good interrogator someday, ever thought about it?"
A smirk answered her. "Working with a lot of people isn't something I like."
"I'm not surprised," She shrugged. "You did turn down Shizune-san's offer, not to mention that you didn't seem too happy staying in the cafeteria."
"So you're one of the many students who were staring."
Her smile wasn't the reaction he was expecting.
"Oh come on, don't tell me you're not aware of how you and your friends look! It's like you guys walked out of a fairytale book, or perhaps every girls' fantasy!" She exclaimed. "Maybe even out of a fashion magazine."
He shook his head in amusement. "We're just… regular guys."
"To the population of Leaf Academy, you're not just regular guys."
She was surprised when a car had almost run her over; thankfully, Sasuke had pulled her back just in time.
"Hn. So you're clumsy and careless." He looked down at her, seeing her flustered. "Suicidal much?"
"N-No… I just… well… didn't notice…" She focused on the feel of his hand on her wrist, wondering why he was so cold to the touch. "…thanks."
"Hn." He let her wrist go and crossed the street, stopping half-way to glance at her. "Coming?"
She snapped from her thoughts and jogged after him, debating whether to ask about his body temperature or not.
"Sasuke, right?"
"Aa."
"Are you…" She walked a bit faster and stopped in front of him in order to touch his forehead with her palm. "Feeling alright?"
He looked at her hand, then at her face, seeing the concerned expression written all over it.
"You're cold like ice…" She murmured. "You should have just gone home to get some rest."
Sasuke kept his gaze on hers before lifting his right hand to touch hers that was on his forehead and slowly brought it down.
"I'm fine." He said without letting her hand go just yet. "Just stressed."
Her brows creased together, looking like she was about to scold him, but instead, she said something that could have made him blush if he was still human.
"I think you should let someone pick you up at my place, if not, then stay over and rest."
It was magnificent – from its head to its tail, the feather-covered animal stood tall and proud. Its eyes were sharp as it searched the place, watching for any signs of danger that may approach.
"Perfect."
He approached the perched falcon with caution, and upon seeing how the winged creature didn't react violently, he proceeded to take bigger steps towards it.
"You'd be suitable."
He let the animal on his shoulder jump down to the floor before reaching out to stroke the falcon's back.
"You can keep an eye out for my brother when things go wrong." He said in a soft voice, afterwards, looked down at the weasel. "Don't you think so, Honoze?"
The mammal only eyed the bird before looking back at its master.
"I'm pretty sure Sasuke would find his job easier with this falcon around."
The calming atmosphere was disrupted when the door to Itachi's office suddenly opened.
"Ever heard of knocking?" he stated calmly without looking at the intruder. "It's no wonder why the Silver Knights have a strong sense of dislike towards you and your friends…"
"I thought you already sent that bird?"
"Don't worry," Itachi murmured. "I'm about to, as soon as I finish testing its skills."
A frown was etched on the man's face. "Your brother hasn't arrived yet, the Elders are displeased."
"He'll show up, eventually." Itachi lowered his hand and looked at the older Immortal. "Eclipse didn't really set a time for him, right?"
"Itachi-sama," he almost snarled. "Just because Sasuke is your brother, does not mean you can overlook his mistakes!"
"Sorry," Itachi turned his back to the man. "I didn't quite catch that."
The lower ranking Immortal suddenly cried out when his entire body was engulfed in flames.
"I-Itachi-sama..!"
The fire died down, leaving second-degree burn marks on the Vampire.
"Know how to address my brother," Itachi said in a cold voice. "He is still of higher status than you."
"I-I a-apologize, Itachi-sama…" He lowered to the ground to bow.
"Consider yourself lucky that you got away with only second-degree burns." He let the falcon perch on his arm and then had it fly into the air. "The others ended up turning into ashes." And his weasel suddenly sent small fireballs of different flame colors towards the flying falcon which evaded every attack in astonishing speed.
Itachi had nearly forgotten about the Immortal whom he had almost burnt due to the satisfaction he was feeling upon seeing the falcon in action.
"I hope it'll help you, Sasuke."
"I told you already, I'm fine."
She completely ignored him and proceeded to force the spoonful of porridge into his mouth.
"I'm fine, really." He said, dodging her.
"I'm not going to stop until you finish this bowl."
"I'm full."
"Eat."
He sighed and turned his head elsewhere.
Forcing down the glass of water earlier was one thing, eating human food was another.
"Fine." She set the bowl down and picked up the thermometer. "Let me take your temperature instead."
He scowled at her persistence. If she took his temperature, she'd end up calling an ambulance.
From what he's experienced today, this girl wasn't just clumsy and careless, but also annoying.
"I just need sleep." He stood up and took a few steps away from her. "Besides, I need to get going."
"Not in your current state!" She attempted to grab his wrist but failed to calculate their distance properly and ended up tripping.
Her hands reached out to grab a hold of anything, that being Sasuke's shirt. He, in reflex, held her upper arms to keep her from falling, leading to her face being pressed up against his chest.
"Damn his height." She thought with a blush on her cheeks.
"Hn. Klutz."
She glared at him, though he didn't find it intimidating due to her extremely red face.
"Shut up." She pulled away from him and turned her back to him. "It's your fault for being stubborn."
"I'm not the one who tripped."
"Just… just shut up!" She crossed her arms, not really caring anymore. "Stupid, stupid Sasuke."
He wondered how long she planned on keeping the silent treatment, since she didn't really like a noiseless atmosphere.
"Hn. I guess living alone for almost your whole life can be terrifying." He continued to stare at her back before eyeing her small home, the only thing her deceased parents had left her.
Sakura blinked when she heard the clinking of a metal spoon on the porcelain bowl, so she turned to see what her male companion was up to, her eyes widening when she saw him take a spoonful of porridge and eat it.
"Hn." He opened his eyes halfway as soon as the eating utensil had left his lips. "Not bad."
Her cheeks flushed even more when he looked at her.
"What?"
She just gave a shy smile and took a step closer to him, afterwards, lifted a hand up to the right side of his mouth.
"You've got some…" she trailed off and wiped the stain on the corner of his lips with her thumb.
She was taken aback when he grabbed her hand and licked the sticky rice off of her finger.
That action caused her heart to thump faster, and he could hear it very clearly.
As soon as he started the engine, he looked at his friends and quirked a brow.
"Well?"
Neji crossed his arms and frowned. "How are we all going to fit in there?"
Shino shrugged. "Just pile in."
"No way."
"Geez. Would you rather leave the two alone at home?"
"No."
"Then get in."
Neji looked over at their Lead Knight.
"We can't afford to be late." Sasuke said. "We still have a fitting for our uniforms, have our ID pictures taken, and of course, club hunting."
"Looks like Eclipse has everything planned out."
"Hn." He raised his left arm as soon as he heard flapping sounds. "Itachi had the details sent." And a Peregrine falcon with dark-colored feathers made itself comfortable on Sasuke's arm.
"He gave you an animal Guardian?" Shikamaru cried.
"Aa." He took off the small scroll attached to its leg. "I just got his reply from my previous message."
"And..?" Neji asked, eyes not leaving the form of the animal.
"You're all tasked to search for your own Guardians that will fit your element." He said. "Anyway, I'll go on ahead."
"Wait, you're not coming with us?" Lee asked.
"There's something I have to take care of first." He glanced at the falcon. "Raiha."
The animal gave a short screech before taking off into the air, flying in circles above its master's head.
Sasuke nodded once to the rest before heading over to where his motorcycle was parked. He put on the helmet, afterwards, started the ignition, and soon, he was gone, his Guardian following him at a fast pace.
"Is it me or was that bird covered in lightning?" The blonde-haired shifter said.
"It's Sasuke's element; it helps the Guardian fly faster than normal." Shikamaru explained, afterwards, got inside Shino's car. "Now get inside you two."
"I still think this is a bad idea…"
"Oh come on Kiba!" The younger Shifter nudged his brother. "This should be fun."
"You've always been adventurous."
She felt embarrassed upon getting off of his bike which caught everyone's attention.
"You didn't have to pick me up…"
"Hn." He took the helmet from her and set it atop his motorbike's seat. "Consider it as a thank you from the porridge last night."
She nearly tripped when he mentioned that.
Sakura had been trying hard to forget about how he had licked off the rice from her finger, and how their gazes were locked for nearly five minutes. She didn't know whether to be thankful for whoever had called Sasuke in his mobile, or be annoyed that the moment was interrupted.
"Shoot. He's already getting popular here, and students will start thinking he has a thing for me, or worse, that we're dating."
"Hey."
She felt him poke her forehead.
"Come on."
A scowl was on her face as she rubbed the spot where he flicked her. "What you just did…" She mumbled. "Would be considered as an affectionate gesture..."
He quirked an amused brow. "Why is that?"
"Because people like gossip."
"And why would they gossip about you and me?"
"I came here with you."
"So?"
"…Ugh." She slapped her forehead and sighed. "Never mind. I need to go, thanks for the ride." She patted his black and blue Ducati bike, afterwards, took off.
He stared at her retreating figure before giving a small smirk and shaking his head, just as soon as his animal Guardian, Raiha, came swooping down to perch on his left shoulder.
"Stay." He seethed. "I mean it."
The two Shifters gave their best puppy dog eyes to Shino, but the Immortal didn't flinch or even budge.
"Oh fine." Kiba gave up and crossed his arms. "We'll stay and wait."
"And be sure not to pee inside the car."
"Just because we're Shifters doesn't exactly mean we're, like, dogs!"
"Pipe down Naruto." Shino hissed. "If I get back here and see even a single scratch or one thing out of place, you will both be dead."
With uncaring nods from the two, Shino slammed the door shut and turned to his fellow Knights.
"So, where's our boss?"
"Right here."
They turned to their Lead Knight who stopped walking when he reached a few feet away from them.
"Student Council room."
They nodded and followed him to where the room is located.
As they passed the many halls of Leaf Academy, they gained more attention from all year levels but chose to ignore it – save for Lee who grinned at the students.
In a few minutes, they reached the door which would lead to the SC's room, and with a knock, they slid it open and entered.
"You must be the new students, hang on we'll-" The blonde girl cut herself off once she set her sights on the five men. "Uh… are you sure you're in the right room?"
That got the five to give questioning looks.
"Well, I think you're looking for the art room, that's where the models g-" She got pushed to the side by Sakura who was flushing.
"I-Ino! Stop embarrassing the Student Council!" She huffed and faced Sasuke who blinked at her before giving a smirk. "Must you torment me?"
He shrugged. "I didn't know you were part of the Student Council."
She sighed and looked at Tenten whow as gawking at them.
"Oh, hey guys."
The three girls looked at Hinata who smiled and waved at the five as if she's known them her whole life.
"I forgot to mention," The usually timid girl said. "That one of them is my cousin, and that I've known them since I was still a child."
"Hinata!" Ino launched herself at the girl. "Why didn't you tell me you have such hot male friends?"
"Erm…"
Tenten pulled Ino off of Hinata. "Your reaction is enough reason."
"Oh like you weren't eyeballing them either!"
Sakura ignored the two arguing females with Hinata trying to pacify the two and turned to Sasuke once more.
"Okay, first thing's first; we get your uniform measurements, orient you guys about club activities and what each does, tour you around campus, take you to the clinic for check-ups, and then escort you to the Principal's office for a quick confirmation of schedules."
"The last two have already been taken care of." Sasuke said. "Principal Tsunade is an old friend of the family."
She blinked. "I see."
"Well who wants their measurements taken?" Ino yelled while holding onto a measuring tape. "I'm going to need you guys to remove your clothes for-"
"INO!"
"Alright, alright, sheesh."
Sakura apologized repeatedly at the five for her blonde friend's… enthusiasm.
"Anyway, uniforms." Hinata coughed, pulling out some samples for them to fit. "Neji-nii."
Neji nodded and walked over to his cousin, while the rest spread out to approach the other girls.
Shino immediately went to Ino, Shikamaru and Lee to Tenten, which leaves Sasuke to Sakura.
"Don't take this the wrong way, but…"
He smirked and pulled off his black dress shirt, leaving the grey one on.
"You still want me to take this off?"
She flushed and threw him the button-up shirt and coat of the school's uniform, causing him to give out a small laugh before putting them on.
Sakura mumbled a few words he couldn't decipher before she pulled the dress shirt on him and buttoned it up.
"What?"
She huffed. "You're too slow."
"Hn. Wouldn't want to wrinkle them."
"Yeah, yeah." She picked up the neck tie and had it around his neck, afterwards, tied it for him. "This one seems to fit you perfectly."
"Hn."
"Okay, coat."
He pulled the black coat on, stopping her hands from buttoning them.
"I'll end up undoing them in the end."
She frowned. "Dress code."
"You're not that strict."
"Oh fine." She sighed and brought up the slacks. "Uh… Forget these, you'll… well, uh…"
He smirked, afterwards, took it from her to check the size. "I'm starting to think you stalk me."
"Don't flatter yourself."
"How else would you know my size?"
"It's just coincidence!" She cried with a flushed face. "Anyway," She tugged his tie off. "As for clubs, we've got a lot available. You can choose from the sports variety, or maybe the newspaper club. We also have martial arts type, or maybe astronomy interests you, perhaps even music, or-"
"Student Council?"
"Yeah, that too and-" She stopped and looked up at him slowly. "What?"
He lifted a hand up to hold hers which were supposedly undoing the buttons of the white dress shirt. "I've already decided on the Student Council."
Apathetic Silence: This was supposed to be updated last week, but… my mistake, I sent the draft part, so my cousin wasn't able to do her task in editing or… proof-reading.
CrAzY-SiLLy-Me: I thought for sure you actually wanted me to TYPE the whole chapter.
Apathetic Silence: So where are the character reviews for Shino, Sasuke, and Sakura?
CrAzY-SiLLy-Me: Can I post it here? :D
Apathetic Silence: …Fine.
CrAzY-SiLLy-Me: Yes! Okay guys, with Shino, Sasuke, and Sakura done, who is/are the next character/s you want info on? :D
WARNING! SPOILERS UP AHEAD!
Name: Aburame Shino
Age: 156 y/o (appears 19)
Race: Vampire a.k.a. Immortal
Control Over: Wind
Special Ability: Forceful intrusion of the mind with just one look
Description: Shino dislikes Werewolves and easily loses his cool when it comes to his car. Though he listens to the higher ranking Vampires better than Neji, he almost always only listens to everything Sasuke says. However, there was one time wherein he didn't heed the young Uchiha's command in keeping his cool, because a group of teenaged Werewolves had wrecked his car, and that made his blood boil.
Shino unexpectedly acts like a playboy - though subtle in flirting. He likes human cheerleaders (female of course), and has taken an interest to Ino.
Besides Sasuke, Shino is the next feared Vampire when getting angry - for he kills with a smirk on his lips while proceeding with torturous ways of finishing off his victims and his sadistic nature.
Guardian: Kazeku (Wasp)
Specialty: Transmit messages via Sound waves that only Shino can understand.
Obtained: From his father
The only insect among the guardian "pets"; the larger-than-normal cricket mostly does the spying for the team. Though tiny, Kazeku can make use of the breeze to move and act fast; it's more suitable for defense and information gathering in secrecy.
Name: Uchiha Sasuke
Age: 155 y/o (appears 18-19)
Race: Vampire a.k.a. Immortal
Control Over: Lightning and Fire - both elements being closely related
Special Ability: Copying skills of others, photographic memory
Description: The Lead Knight of the group. Sasuke is the youngest son of deceased Fugaku and Mikoto, and the only brother of Itachi. He is part of the Uchiha clan, a large family composing of pureblood Vampires. Even as a child, the Elders of Eclipse had been keeping an eye on him upon sensing the hidden power he has, a power they also felt from Itachi.
Due to his aloof appearance, perfect control over his bloodlust, and being level-headed, Eclipse has chosen him to be the Lead Knight. Sasuke also posseses great strength and speed compared to the other Knights, and his stamina is close to Lee's, making him perfect for the role of Lead Knight. Though he says he isn't patient, no one really believes him, save for those who have felt his wrath.
Sasuke admits that he dislikes losing his temper because it makes him hurt people and/or non-human beings. He doesn't like killing Werewolves unless necesarry, and stands down from possible fights whenever others would try to start one with him. His best friends in the group are Neji and Shino, though he talks to Shikamaru about nearly everything.
He is amused with Sakura after his first encounter with her, and also finds her scent calming, and her blood addicting. Sasuke later develops romantic feelings for Sakura, but chooses to keep it a secret while constantly reminding himself where his duty and responsibilities lay, as well as where his loyalties should be.
Guardian: Raiha (Falcon)
Specialty: Speed and Attacks are like Lightning.
Obtained: From Itachi
A lightning-endowed bird that is overprotective of its master, as well as loyal and obedient. Being a lightning-based guardian, Raiha is coated in lightning whenever it attacks in fast movements that can barely be followed by the naked eye.
Name: Haruno Sakura
Age: 18
Race: Human
Acitvity: Student Council President
Part-time Job/s: Maid during after school hours; takes care of kids in the daycare center on Sundays
Description: Besides being the Student Council President, Sakura is also a workaholic. Being orphaned at a young age, she ended up striving hard to get to where she is, and to also support herself with the remaining savings/finance her parents had left her. According to her friends, Sakura is normally someone who doesn't entertain new students much besides telling them the basics, which is why Tenten and Ino were surprised that she was talkative around Sasuke.
Despite being thought to be dating Sasuke, Sakura is still unsure of how she really feels for him. All she knows is that she cares for him and enjoys his company, even if he's silent most of the time.
Things changed between them when he revealed to her who he truly is, and she ended up keeping her distance. Her parents were apparently killed by Rogue Vampires, which is why she hates the beings, and is experiencing emotional turmoil due to Sasuke being a creature she detests.
It took a while before she warmed up to Sasuke's true self, and when she did, she found out that not all Vampires are as savage as the Rogues who killed her parents. Her feelings begin to grow clear as they return back to the way they were before she found out of his secret, and she ends up confessing to him on the day she actually let him drink her blood due to his weakened and thirsty state.
