Sakura felt fear as days went by and Sasuke had not returned to their room, opting instead for the sofa or staying at one of the guys' houses. She finally opened her closet and pulled out a bag and threw clothes in it, after writing a quick note for Sasuke, she left it on their table and made her way out the door, she was determined to make something of herself even if it killed her in the attempt. She left and locked the door, quickly ducking into the shadows of the trees when she saw Sasuke turn the corner to enter their home. She needed to get out of there before he discovered her note and came looking, She ran to the bus station and got on quickly and sat down in relief when it pulled away, driving several states away from where she was.

Her phone went off, Sakura looked at the id and almost cried when Sasuke's name came up. Closing her eyes she hit the decline button and after it stopped she blocked and deleted his number along with Kakashi, Sai and Naruto's. She fell asleep knowing that she was doing more than setting off on her own, she had abandoned her group, her coven and that was something no one had ever done without consequences.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~SEVERAL YEARS LATER~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sakura stepped off the bus and looked around, not much had changed. She wondered if the guys she used to chill with were still around. Kabuto stepped off behind her and took her bag. "You sure this is the right place Sakura? Doesn't look like much" he said softly, looking around himself.

Sakura nodded and made her way down the street and turned the corner under the grove of trees and stopped before the bushes. "A bush Sakura? What is so special about this?" came a question behind her. She merely rolled her eyes and parted the bushes to see the door still there, pushing it open she stepped inside and shut it behind her and Kabuto. Making her way down the empty corridor she stopped before a door and opened it, only to find Kakashi glaring at her with his hand lit up with his lightning.

"Relax Kakashi, it is me. Or do you call me an enemy now" She said and stood still, not provoking an unnecessary attack. She was so fixated on Kakashi she didn't notice Sai behind her until he grasped her wrists and secured them behind her back. "Depends on what Sasuke has to say, or should I say Sasuke and Karin. She took over your role when you left." Kakashi said.

At that, the door to where she shared a room with Sasuke once was opened and a red haired girl stepped out and glared at Sakura. "Who is this? Nevermind that get rid of her before I rip her pink hair out of her head." Karin said before Sasuke stepped out, his eyes widened when they landed on her.

"Sakura….." she merely looked to the side to hide the pain in her gaze at being replaced. Karin snarled and moved to grab Sakura and dragged her roughly through the corridor. She opened the door and threw her outside not caring if she hurt herself on the branches on the ground.

"Let's get this straight Pinky, Sasuke here is MINE. I worked hard to secure my position and will not allow you to steal it from me. Now Get lost" Karin said and slammed the door shut. Sakura stood and brushed herself off before heading to the Vampire club for a room. She had a show to do here and couldn't let old emotions entangle in her true purpose here, one she hoped would secure her place once again in her group.

She entered the club and paid for her room, stopping when she saw a poster with her picture on it and a list of songs she would be singing. She decided to get even with Karin at the concert. She changed into her new outfit which was a low hip hugging skirt that billowed out at the bottom and had regal symbols on it, a gift from Kabuto when she rescued him from the slavery Vampires and found a new home for him with Orochimaru. She attached the metallic top piece around her chest to cup her full breasts and quickly did up her hair and make-up and with a satisfied smirk she was out the door.

Upon her entrance onto the stage, she saw Karin all over Sasuke and rolled her eyes, catching Kakashi's grin. Apparently he was all too eager for Sakura to show off to Karin. As the music started, Kabuto entered the stage as cued while she began to sing her part of the song, making Karin's gaze snap to her on stage at the sound of her voice.

"Someone is dancing on my grave

Sending shivers down my spine

I hear a laugh, it awoke my soul

The wind takes the leaves

Where he wants them to go

His tunes enchant our world

Our thoughts and leaves us frozen"

Kabuto smiled at Sakura as his deep demonic like voice added to the song as Sakura looked up and smiled at the one who gave her a home and purpose after she had left, Orochimaru. Sasuke's eyes followed her gaze and frowned when he saw Orochimaru, the one responsible for many wrong doings in his life.

"In this heart of mine

It's you I find

Take my hand

I'll take you to the promised land

You're the one"

Sakura's voice chimed in with Kabuto's in harmony as the two blended into one reality. Sasuke found that she found a life he couldn't give her and he was ashamed to have treated her the way he did that night. He felt shame and Kakashi knew it but said nothing.

Sakura and Kabuto finished the song in perfect harmony while she reached out to the people screaming her name. Her gaze met Sasuke's for a brief moment before she left with Kabuto and made her way to Orochimaru. Sasuke excused himself from the group and made his way to her only to catch Orochimaru's smug grin looking his way.

"Sassssssuke….it has been far too long. I haven't seen you since Itachi's murder" he said sinisterly. "Have you met my dear sweet Sakura? She is such a prize isn't she? It is a shame you let her go, you never know when some monster ay snatch her up"

"I know very well which monster you refer to Orochimaru. You ensnared me in your grasp for months and no matter how long I stay away, it can never change your blood flows through me. Isn't that right…Master?" Sasuke clenched his hands. He knew that nothing could erase the fact he was Orochimaru's childe in the vampire world, not by blood but by bite.

"Sakura dear, Kabuto waits for you by the car, I would very much like for you to join him, I shall be along in a few minutes." Orochimaru said, Sakura smiled and headed out the doors only for Sasuke to slip by Orochimaru and grasp her wrist, pulling her into the first room available. Shutting the door and locking it he turned to her.

"Sakura what are you doing? Orochimaru is the worst sort of person for you to be involved with." Sasuke said, Sakura's hand clashed with his face and he stood there for a moment. Only one was ever allowed to strike him without retaliation and Sakura was that one.

"What would you know? Did you ever look for me? You RAPED me Sasuke when I refused to bow down to you and now you tell me I made the mistake?" She said looking away. Sasuke sighed. "I am not the one fucking another woman Sasuke. I kept my vow, when a male sire turns a female, she is to remain loyal to him alone, I never strayed. Then again I guess we know what sort of man you are now don't we?" she said as her skirts swished around him to leave.

Sasuke grabbed her arm and pinned her to the wall. "This conversation is far from over Sakura, as your sire you WILL obey me. Karin does not have that option, as she was never claimed. Believe what you wish Sakura, I never heated and I shall prove it to you" Sasuke said as he forced her to bite down on his neck, groaning softly. The blood in Sasuke's body made his memories flood through her as she witnessed that he was true to his word.

When she pulled away her gaze met his before his own fangs sank in and searched her own memories, satisfied when he found she was always loyal to him even in their separation. Sakura's whimper filled his ear while he ground into her. "Your body knows I am here Sakura, it knows you have been unclaimed for so many years and it now seeks fulfillment. Shall I ease your ache or do you wish me to walk away and ease my own with Karin?" he asked, pleased when her hand snatched his wrist.

"Don't you dare Sasuke. I am your one true eternal bride, not that slut." Sakura dropped down to her knees slowly and undid his pants, easing him from the confines of his clothing. Sasuke's hands threaded through her hair, head back as his groans filled the silent room. Sakura's mouth eagerly took her mate in, her tongue gliding along the tip of him. Sasuke cursed when his release came too soon and spilled into her mouth.

He pulled her to stand and pushed her to lean against the wall while he also sank down to his knees and lifted her skirt and disappeared beneath it. Sakura closed her eyes and leaned her head against the wall as she waited, a desperate cry left her mouth when his tongue delved into her folds while his mouth moved along her body.

She undid the belt holding the skirt up and pulled it up and over her head, tossing it aside before threading her own hands in his hair, her hips moving along his mouth. Sasuke's mouth latched onto her clit as he sucked on it hard before moving it to press to his fang, piercing it gently to release a pleasurable pain.

"Fuck Sasuke….It has been so damn long." She cried out as her release flooded through her, the only sounds in the room after her cry was the sound of Sasuke claiming his due from her body. He stood slowly and lifted her leg to wrap around his hip. Sakura's hand rested on his shoulder while the other braced her against the wall.

"And now for the claiming Sakura. After this, you will NEVER forget who truly owns your loyalty." Sasuke said and lifted her to slam into her core. Sakura cried out while Sasuke groaned.

MEANWHILE OUTSIDE THE DOOR

Karin was seething, "Who the hell is this slut?" she demanded as she and the 3 males with her all heard the cries and groans from outside the room. Karin worked so hard to secure herself in Sasuke's bed and she had now lost to Sakura's game and she was far from happy.

"She is Sasuke's one true mate. His Eternal bride Karin, you will never change that. Yes they may fight and argue and yes they may part ways for a while but they will never escape each other because they will always be called to come back to each other." Kakashi stated, leaning against the wall with his arms folded across his chest.

Inside the room

Sakura screamed while Sasuke slammed her onto the desk and pounded into her hard, setting a pace that she would enjoy and yet keep himself content. He groaned when she arched her hips against him, her gaze looking over her shoulder to meet his own in an open yet playful challenge for him to up the pace.

Sasuke growled and grasped the back of her neck, slamming her down again while his hips pounded harder. "Don't fucking challenge me Sakura, you know it pisses me off" Sasuke groaned as his release burst from him into Sakura's body seconds before her own release washed through her.

"She moaned softly as his thrusts slowed to ensure he emptied into her completely. "I know it pisses you off Sasuke, but I know you also experience a greater release when I do such" she said with a laugh. Sasuke groaned before turning her to face him and claiming her lips gently.

"Mine Sakura, you will never leave me again." His eyes showed determination and Sakura knew it was wrong to leave for so long. "Sakura promise me" he said, his hand cupping her cheek gently while he kissed her neck gently.

"I promise baby, I promise." She said.
