Chapter 2: Suspicions.

Sakura took her seat in the biology room, which was right in the center of the room. The desks were lab tables, which meant you had a lab partner. Sakura's partner was of course, Sasuke, whom which now she dreaded working with. Sasuke took his seat next to her and Sakura just diverted her attention away from him as she took out her binder and started copying down the notes that the sensei was writing on the chalkboard.

The sensei turned and faced the class. "Today is the day where we dissect our frogs! I know how much everyone has been looking forward to this today, and lucky for us, we have a double period. So put on your goggles and get to work!"

Sakura's stomach turned. 'Ugh, I can't stand working with blood and dead animals. I just hope to god I don't pass out. That's going to be embarrassing…'

The class put on their safety goggles and got to work.

Sasuke smirked and turned towards Sakura. "Do you want the honors of cutting this little guy up, or should I just do it?"

Sakura tried not to gag and the thought of that. "You can do it."

Sasuke took the dissecting tool and began to cut open the frogs stomach. Sakura could already hear the sounds of her peers as they became completely disgusted. She tried to ignore the smell of the dead open frog bodies and concentrate on her work.

"Ahh I just love the smell of blood. What about you Sakura?"

Sakura just looked at him and continued to try not to gag or pass out and just continued writing down observations and notes on what they were doing.



"Are you even going to answer me?"

Sakura just shot him a dirty look. "Why so keen on talking to me now all of the sudden Sasuke? And I'm only not responding because I just want this to be over with already."

"So I take it you are not too fond of dead animals being cut up."

"No, just animals being killed in general for stupid things such as this. While we could easily just sit here and learn or watch a movie or do something less disgusting, animals need to be killed just so children can cut them up and see what is inside of them. That's just sick and wrong."

Sasuke raised an eyebrow. "I didn't think someone would have the same views as me on that subject."

"AND YOU JUST FUCKING ASKED ME IF I LIKE THE SMELL OF BLOOD AND NOW YOU'RE SAYING ABOUT HOW YOU HATE ANIMALS DYING."

"Don't need to raise your voice." Sasuke said as some of their fellow peers turned towards them and looked up to hear what they were saying.

Sakura sighed. 'I think I'm going to pass out.'

Sasuke's eyes widened as Sakura's eyes rolled back into her head and she fell off the stool and he grabbed her around the waist before she crashed into the floor.

"What's going on?" the sensei asked Sasuke with a bit of worry in his voice.

"Sakura passed out." Sasuke said coolly. "I'll carry her down to the nurse if you'd like."

The sensei raised an eyebrow at Sasuke. You see, Sasuke looked like one of those kids who couldn't even lift 10 pounds before either struggling or passing out from exhaustion. So, Sasuke easily scooped Sakura up into his arms and walked out of the classroom down to the nurse's office. The sensei just stood there with his mouth open as the Uchiha took the unconscious girl out of the room. The rest of the students sat there watching also with their mouths open until the sensei managed to pull himself back together and scream out "GET BACK TO WORK!"

Sasuke smirked when he heard the sensei start yelling at his classmates. 'Typical humans, always in a total shock when they see something happen that they thought would never occur, or that they didn't even think was possible for someone they don't even know or that they've already made their judgments on. Well, I better get her to the nurse before she wakes up. If she does, this won't be a good thing.'

Sasuke got to the nurses office in about 10 seconds flat since he ran. He swiftly but carefully opened to door taking care that he wouldn't drop Sakura, and walked into the office.

"Can I help you?" the nurse said as she looked up and saw Sasuke. "O-o-oh Sasuke! How can I help you? Is there anything you need?" she said as she stared as his onyx eyes and handsome features.



"It isn't me, its Sakura. It seems that she fainted in the middle of biology due to the sight of blood. So I took the liberty of bringing her down here. Is there a bed or something that I can lay her on? I suppose that she'll be awaking in a few minutes if my calculations are correct." Sasuke said coolly.

"Oh of course…" the nurse said sounding a bit disappointed. "Come this way. I have a private room with one cot that you can keep her in. Are you going to be staying with her?"

"I will so when she comes around I can help her back to class and save her the humiliation of having to face everyone alone after what she just pulled."

"Alright, please follow me." The nurse said as she led Sasuke off into a back room.

The room was pretty big. It had a large cot that was the size of a regular one person bed. There was also a few chairs and a table. It was air conditioned and had a mini fridge.

"Why does this feel like a bedroom of some sorts?" Sasuke asked while he was placing Sakura onto the cot/bed.

"It is just for situations like these or even more serious situations. Only a few select people know about it, so keep it on the down low. I don't need every single student in the school purposely trying to get into here. Alright?"

"Of course." Sasuke said as he pulled up a chair and sat next to Sakura. "I'll keep an eye on her for now. So you can get back to work."

"Are you sure? You were holding her for about 20 minutes to half an hour. Do you want some ice or something for your arms? You must be in some pain from holding her for that long."

"No, I'm perfectly fine. I don't feel any pain what so ever. So please don't worry about me." He said as the nurse walked off.

'That boy is quite the strange one. Its impossible for him not to be in any pain after holding that girl for so long. Even his friends are like that…' the nurse thought as she went back to her work.

Sasuke, who remembered to grab their backpacks when he left the classroom, pulled out his homework and started doing it, finishing it in about 5 minutes, which was the time Sakura woke up.

"Where am I?" she asked still sounding out of it.

Sasuke smirked. "You're in the nurses office. You passed out in the middle of class so I took the liberty of carrying you down here and the nurse directed us to this room."

"Wait, I passed out in the middle of class?" she asked still comprehending exactly what had happened.

"Yes."



"OH MY GOD HOW COULD I HAVE DONE THAT OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD I AM SO EMBARASSED I CAN'T WALK BACK INTO THAT ROOM OH GOD I CAN'T FACE EVERYONE OH MY GOD THIS IS SO EMBARASSING!"

Sasuke sighed. "Calm the fuck down Sakura. I don't need to nurse coming in here freaking out. She's already freaking out since I was carrying you around for about half an hour and my arms weren't sore at all."

Sakura raised an eyebrow. "Well Sasuke, no regular person can carry about an unconscious girl who is dead weight for that long. It's just humanly impossible and no one can do that unless they have like, superhuman powers or something. Which no offence, I highly doubt that you have."

Sasuke once again smirked and he went and sat next to her on the cot/bed. He leaned over and placed his lips right near her ear. "Now Sakura, you would be surprised on what I can do. I'm no normal human I will tell you that much. I can do things that others can't do."

Sakura gasped. "Why?" she asked him softly.

"I told you, I'm no normal human."

"Then what are you…?"

"You're going to have to figure out that for yourself Sakura. Or, in due time, I'll tell you. Because events will be happening at a quick pace now. I won't tell you what though. All I'm going to say is that you are going to have to trust me on this. I won't purposely put you in any type of danger. Just promise that if and when you find out or figure it out, you won't make a quick judgment or a quick assumption until you hear us out. Alright?"

Sakura nodded. "Can't you just tell me now?"

"No…no I can't. It isn't the right time now."

Sakura silently screamed since she had covered her mouth with both hands so it would be muffled. "You aren't human are you? THEN WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU." She said as she grew more and more frightened by the second.

Sasuke looked down. Sakura stood up to run away only to get dizzy and fall backwards into Sasuke's ready arms.

"Don't run from the truth Sakura. I've known you've had your suspicions of me for awhile now. I know that was what you were thinking about this morning while you were with Ino and the rest of them. You aren't ready to face what you know is coming and I know that you're afraid of that. You need to prepare yourself for the truth. You aren't going to believe it at first. I know how you are; it will take you awhile to fully understand. But I know that you will want to know more and more as you find out all the secrets and lies that have been surrounding human society as we know of it today."



"Why are you telling me this Sasuke? Why me of all people? How did you know that has been what I've been thinking? Are you some sort of mind reader or something? Can you read me or something?"

Sasuke smirked. "I suppose you can put it like that if you want. That isn't the full thing though. I was right about you, you are a smart girl. A bit slow when it comes to some things, but a smart girl."

"Sasuke Uchiha, you are a mysterious one I will give you that…"

Sasuke gave Sakura a kiss on the forehead. "Good. That's how I like to be perceived. I want you to continue to have your suspicions about me, because each day you'll be growing closer and closer to the truth about me. And when you figure it out, that's when everything will begin."

"What will begin Sasuke?"

"You'll see. Now I'm going to be taking you home in my car. I know that you get dropped off and picked up every day, so that's already been taken care of. Don't worry, you're in safe hands…" Sasuke said as he grabbed his and Sakura's backpacks and helped Sakura up.

"Sasuke?"

"Yeah?"

"Can I ask you something?"

"Of course. Questions are always a good thing. They give us knowledge, and knowledge can help us understand many things."

"Do you consider me a friend?"

Sasuke looked up at the ceiling for a moment. "Yeah. You're a kind person. When you answered my note in class today, I already knew that you would give me a chance. Sakura, I appreciate that. So to answer your question, yes, I do consider you a friend. Now, I'll ask you the same thing. Do you consider me a friend now?"

Sakura smiled. "Yeah…I do."

"Ok, now I'll be getting you home."

Sakura nodded. 'He really is a sweet person. But now I want to know more about this mind reading thing of his. Once he leaves, I'm going to do some research. I want to know…no, I need to know. Because if I can help, or prevent something from happening, then I will.' She thought.

Sasuke smiled for a quick second and then regained his normal emotionless face. 'Smart girl. I knew she would go looking into this. Won't be too long now until she realizes I'm a vampire. Now all I need to do is wait. There's plenty of time. I have centuries to wait. Haha. But, hopefully she'll be with me in those centuries to come. We'll see what the future beholds. But for now, I'll bring her to the safety of her home, and I'll let her do her research.'

Omg, sorry about the long delay in updating. TT! I decided to get things moving now. Of course next chapter is going to be about Sakura's research and discoveries and all that stuff. Sasuke tends to over think things doesn't he? His mysterious demeanor is quite good too. Stay tuned!

Much love.
