After class was over, Orochimara had told him to meet her behind the girls' locker room. He didn't question her so he went anyway. When he got there, Mara was nowhere to be seen. The lights were dimmed and something wasn't right. His instincts were telling him to turn around.
"Mara? Are you here?"
There was no answer. He turned around and when he did, Mara stood in front of him. Her eyes glowing red and she had fangs. Before Itachi could do anything, she tackled him onto the ground and covered his mouth when she bit into his neck. Itachi's muffled screams couldn't be heard and he was losing blood. His life was slipping away from him. Mara's sharp fangs pierced deeper in him. Was he going to die?
Mara pulled back with the red liquid dripping from her mouth. Itachi's vision was blurry. His life was edging closer to death. He was so weak that he couldn't open his mouth to speak or lift up a finger. Just when he thought his life was ending he felt droplets of blood fall onto his lips.
"Drink if you want to live."
As the blood fell onto his mouth and down his throat, bits of strength were coming back to him. He lifted up his hand and grabbed hold of Mara's wrist, pressing harder against his mouth and squeezing more blood out. His body was beginning to burn up and his breathing was slowing down.
"Aaahh, Itachi… stop."
He couldn't stop. He wanted more of its red liquid that was making his body burn and feel good. Mara tried pulling away but Itachi's grip tightened.
"Stop!"
Mara was finally able to pull away from him when his grip loosened. She gripped her own wrist to stop the pain that was hurting. Itachi's breathing slowed down more until he his heart stopped. Mara wondered if she failed.
"Wake up, Itachi. Don't fail me."
A minute later, Itachi awoke, gasping for air. It felt like he was drowning in the ocean of water and couldn't swim back up but he was finally able to get to the top and gasp for that air he needed. He felt cold and his appearance looked like someone who was sick with a fever.
"Are you alright?"
"What did you do to me?" he said, his voice shaking.
"I turned you into a vampire, Itachi. Now, let's get you home."
Mara lifted Itachi's arm over her neck and carried him out from behind the girls' locker room into the parking lot.
"Where are you keys? I'll drive."
Itachi took out the keys from behind his back pocket and gave it to her. Mara then helped Itachi into the passenger seat. She got in the driver's seat and drove off.
"I feel like crap."
"Yeah, that'll happen. Don't worry. You'll be okay tomorrow. "
"Are you going to tell me why you turned me in a vampire?"
"Because I like you."
Itachi rolled his eyes, not believing what he just heard.
"Where do you live?"
"On the 57th block. I'm thirsty."
"I can't give you any blood today."
"Great."
"Wait until tomorrow. You said you have a brother living with you right? it'll be better if he's away from you for awhile."
"He doesn't have any friends."
"Do you want to come to my place then?"
"No."
Itachi didn't trust this Orochimara anymore. Who knows what else she would do to him. When they arrived at their destination, Mara got out and helped Itachi out of the car and into the house.
"Hmm, nice place."
Mara helped him into his bedroom after asking her if she could take him there. She carefully laid Itachi's body down onto the bed. She sat herself beside him.
"Now, I have some things that you need to know. No matter what, you cannot drink any blood today. It's temping at first but if you do, you will die. Tomorrow you will feel a lot better and then you will be able to feed. Tomorrow, don't go to school. Any questions?"
"Why am I not going to school?"
"Tomorrow, I have to teach you how to feed. Instead of going around the village and kidnapping someone to drink their blood, we are going to my place. My father and me have donors who come to get their blood sucked… sometimes more than that."
"More than that?"
"It can lead to sex. You'll see. Oh, and you can't tell anyone. My blood is inside you so I'll know where you are wherever you go. By the way, you can only call me Master. At school, Mara is fine."
Itachi's head was spinning and his body began to ache everywhere.
"Take a rest. I'll see you tomorrow."
Mara pulled the sheets over Itachi's body, leaned forward, kissed his forehead, and then disappeared.
-During the day-
Sasuke had walked home from school. His brother was supposed to pick him up but he never came. It was a rare thing to happen. His brother always came to pick him up but today was different. He saw that Itachi's car was here so there had better be a good explanation about this. Itachi woke up when he heard the door open outside his bedroom. Each time he heard the sound of footsteps approaching closer to him, his throat would ache. Sasuke opened the door to Itachi's bedroom and asked him what happen.
"You were suppose to pick me up today."
"Sorry, I got sick. A friend dropped me off home."
It surprised him a abit when he spoke. His throat was dry. Itachi told his little brother to not come in when he was about to step his foot inside his bedroom.
"Why?"
"I don't want you to get sick. I'm tired right now so I'll see you tomorrow."
Itachi desperately wanted to get out of this bed and take his brother. He wanted so badly to sink his teeth into Sasuke's flesh until blood came out. He shook his head, getting rid of the images. Mara was right. It was hard.
