Chapter Two: Could It Be True?
XOXOX
Ino groggily opened her eyes after her long sleep. For a minute she forgot all about her being kidnapped, Prince Sasuke, and being turned into a vampire. For a minute, she also completely forgot all about the evils in the world. Everything negative. She thought she was in her bed at her apartment, just waking up from a horrible night terror. She looked at the night stand to see what time it was. It read 5:32p.m..
"What? I couldn't have possibly slept this late. Could I?" She thought.
Then the last twenty four hours came crashing back on her. It wasn't just a bad dram, it all really happened. ALL of it. She was actually a vampire. A prisoner. A suppose to be sex toy for some vampire Prince. Having to drink blood. Oh hell! "How on earth am I going to be able to do this shit all day? Or night?"
Sitting up from her position on the bed, she decided to go get cleaned up. Waking into the bathroom, she looked at her reflection in the mirror. A pale face with dark bags underneath her eyes presented her. It didn't look like the Ino she knew and loved.
Sighing, Ino merely turned on the water and splashed warm water on her face. It felt good, but she still was horribly pale from what she was used to with her tan. And the bags didn't leave her. That's when she noticed the dry blood on shirt and all the dirt on her outfit. Great. While drying her face off with a towel that she found in the bathroom closet, she didn't expect a swift tap on her shoulders. Jumping at the touch and turning around, she saw that Sakura was standing behind her with a small smile plastered on her pale features. She didn't even hear her come in.
"Sorry to frighten you, Ino. I simply wanted to bring you new clothing and then bring you down for breakfast. I thought you might be hungry is all."
"O-Oh, uhm, y-yeah I am kind of hungry actually." Ino muttered and swallowed. She was beyond nervous and was pretty sure that Sakura knew this.
Smiling again, Sakura placed her hand on Ino's shoulder. "Are you going to be alright?"
Ino nodded hesitantly and followed Sakura out of the room. It would be an understatement to say that she was scared to leave the comforts of her new room and into the world of vampires. Sakura led her through a lot of hallways, which to Ino's dismay, she saw a lot of servants cleaning and rummaging through things and they looked strangely at her. Like she was some weird person that entered their home. But Ino had to remember that she was supposedly the first to be turned by Prince Sasuke. Finally reaching the kitchen, she was welcomed by the sight of people, vampires, running around and doing their kitchen like duties. To her surprise, the people seemed to be making actual food of some sort. It smelled of chicken the strongest though. Why would vampires need food? Don't they drink blood?
Sakura walked to a counter that wasn't as cluttered with the busy people, but two males, and Ino closely followed behind. One looked familiar to Ino and that was the Shikamaru character that didn't stop Prince Sasuke from biting her whereas the other was a plump male she has never seen before.
"Ino, you remember Shikamaru, don't you? I don't think you officially met though. Ino this is Shikamaru and Choji." Sakura introduced and the two males were already looking at Ino.
She felt uncomfortable under all their stares but felt better when they finally looked away from her and to Sakura.
"Are you getting her blood to drink, Sakura?" Choji asked as he stood up from his stool. Sakura nodded to him. "I'll go get it for you then. My break is just about over anyways."
"Thank you, Choji." Sakura replied with a smile. She turned to Ino as Choji went to get the blood to see Ino even go more paler from when she found her. She had a really scared look upon her face and looked like she was going to bolt at any minute. "I wouldn't run, Ino. You wouldn't be very safe and besides you need blood. Unless you wish to look like that," Sakura pointed to Ino, "and eventually die."
Ino's eyes grew wide at what Sakura just explained to her. Like hell she would die anytime soon, but the thought of blood in her mouth repulsed her to no end.
"Sakura, you're scaring her." Shikamaru replied from his place on the stool and leaning on the counter.
Sakura looked over to Ino with an apologetic smile on her face. "Sorry, Ino. I didn't mean to scare you, but I was merely telling you the truth and it would be a shame for you to die." "So soon." Sakura thought in her head. She knew that no matter what happened, one way or another, Prince Sasuke would kill her when he grew tired of her.
Ino nodded. "It's okay. It's just all kind of new to me still..."
"That's understandable. Here why don't we have a seat." Sakura offered and took a seat on the closest stool, leaving the only other free stool in between her and Shikamaru. Hesitantly sitting down on the stool, she stayed still, nervous that she was in between two vampires. "Relax, Ino. You're going to be just fine."
She relaxed just the tiniest bit and took a deep breath. "She's right, Ino. You need to relax and stop being such a pansy! Grow up and deal with the situation at hand." Feeling a bit better now, she relaxed even more now.
Choji walked back into view with a cup of blood liquid in it and a blood bag in his other hand. He placed them both down on the table and pushed the cup towards Ino. She thought that the smell or even looking at blood would disgust her but the moment Choji gave it to her was the moment that nothing else mattered to her in that exact moment. The smell was overwhelming her completely and there was a need of want to be filled up by the deep red. She grabbed the cup and devoured what little blood was in there, even though it was about a 16 ounce cup. She wanted, no needed, more blood and Choji seemed to realize this as he passed her the blood bag and she drank from it until it was empty. Of anymore of the delicious liquid. Her thirst was quenched for now. She placed the bag on the counter and faced the three staring at her like no tomorrow.
"Someone has quite the apa-" Choji was interrupted when he noticed Ino's eyes were now red, the same as Sasuke's, and heard Sakura squeal.
Sakura stood, along with Shikamaru as they looked at Ino, who was just looking at them with confusion. "Your eyes are red," Sakura breathed out.
"What?" Ino asked in even more confusion. How could her eyes be red? Was it just another vampire thing? If so, why are they freaking out about it then? "I-Is that bad?"
She saw Sakura nod slowly and heard Shikamaru clear his throat. "She should be brought to Sasuke immediately." Sakura nodded to him and went to grab Ino's arm when Shikamaru shook his head. "I'll do it. He may not be too happy about this and I wouldn't want you to get blamed." He looked down at Ino and nodded to her to follow him out the door. Wordlessly she did.
They were both silent as they walked to wherever Shikamaru was bringing her to. Swallowing, Ino asked the one question that was on her mind. "What's going to happen to me?"
Shikamaru stopped and turned to her with a stoic expression. She couldn't read his eyes, but she suddenly felt a wave of feelings hit her. And they hit her hard. Anger. Envy. Sadness. Longing. Hatred. Certain. Confident. Confused. Paralyzed. They all hit her and the weird thing is, she was certain that they were Shikamaru's feelings, no she knew they were. But how is that possible? Then she felt it again. This time it was information on her. He knew what's going on but he wasn't saying anything to her about it. She wanted to dig further into his head, but she was so surprised and confused about what's going on that she couldn't. Plus Shikamaru was staring at her now. Great.
"Why aren't you telling me what's going on?" she asked. Daring even further she added, "You know what's going on but you don't want to tell me... Y-You're scared."
This took him by surprise and Ino could see it on his face this time. He fully turned towards Ino. "Are you reading my mind?"
"I-I think I am." she responded looking down at the floor. How could this happen? "Is this normal...?"
The shake of his head worried her even more. "No. Not for an impure blood anyways. And that's what you are, but you have Sasuke's, purest of the pure, blood in you and...it seems to be giving you special gifts and abilities. Like your eyes changing when you feed on blood. No doubt that you'll have even more abilities to your expense... But... you are the first in a long time to be like this."
"How so?"
"Royalties don't just go running around and turning people into vampires for the fun of it. It's been thousands of years since this has happened and it should be undone."
Ino thought about the last bit of information he spoke of. "B-But wouldn't that be to kill me?" she asked in a whisper. He nodded. "W-why would you want me dead?"
He sighed and leaned on one leg. "Only one of you could kill a royal like Sasuke."
XOXOX
Okay so I wanted this to be a bit longer but I thought that this would be the best ending for the chapter. So Sasuke will definitely be in the next chapter since I couldn't fit him into this one. ^.^ I hope you enjoyed and until next time...
