Be My Bride
Chapter 2
recap:
"Pulse 36, temp around 20." Shizune looked at the queen, "What are we going to do with her?" "Bring her to the castle." The blonde, busty woman said.
"Let's go, I'm sending some people here to tidy everything up and see if there's any cue left here so we can hunt down the other vampires who were also here tonight."
"What, there were more?" Shizune looking down at the pale girl, giving her a look of pity. She signed, "What will she be like when she wakes up?" With that, they left.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sakura moan in pain, her whole body aches. She felt so tired and she's having trouble opening her eyes. She could smell a lovely feminine scent around her, where am I? I can't seem to remember anything. OK I know I'm currently lying on a huge soft bed...hm...The windows opened; there is a pond with a little water fall or water wheel. There's a huge garden near since there're many different types of bird singing, there're many other insect making noises as well. Sakura tried again opening her eyes.
---blurry---She finally had her eyes opened. Just as she had imagined, a huge garden next to her, outside the room with a pond with a mini waterfall and wheel at the side. She doesn't seem to remember anything apart from her medic skills and her other talents. But what she seem to be forgetting is her family name, who she is, where she is, who her family etc are.
"Hey, who are you?" a boy voice asked her.
"AHHHHHHHHHH--" she screamed remembering what happened last night, but only the bit where she was bit by a vampire and she thought she had died. But right now, there was a person on top of her, hands on her mouth, silencing her scream. She started waving her arms and legs madly hoping to throw a few good punches and kicks on whatever it is on top of her. It was so strong, it didn't move a bit when she hit it on its side full force.
"Stop. I'm not going to hurt you." The thing on top of her said.
She stopped her struggling and opened up her eyes to see the thing on top of her was a boy around her age with dark soft-looking hair and beautiful onyx eyes. The boy smiled and let his hands off of her mouth. "Sorry if we scared you." He apologized.
We??
"Naruto, get out from under the bed. She's fine now." the dark-haired boy said calmly, annoyed at his friend's coward behavior.
"oh...O-OK. Ar.ouch. Arg. Wait, I'll be out in a sec." the boy named Naruto obviously having trouble from getting out of the bed.
that voice..The boy under the bed- naruto was the one who startled me and set me off screaming.
"So...who are you?" the boy still on top of her, straddling her hip.
Sakura blushed; she never had any contact with boys, especially someone as beautiful as him. "I...I'm Sakura. " she stuttered.
"Sakura? I've never seen you around before." the boy tilted his head a bit. "What's your surname? oh, and forgive my rudeness. My name it's Uchiha Sasuke, the heir of the Uchiha clan." He smiled warmly at her.
"I..I don't- I can't remember my surname, just Sakura." Her face saddens and her tiny fingers clutched to the sheet.
"oh...I'm sorry." Sasuke looked at her with pity, not wanting her to get upset anymore, he got off her. He grabbed her hand, pulled her out of the bed and start running to the opened door. "Naruto, we're going outside, come out when you get out from under the bed." Sasuke shouted not looking back.
"Wait...you're too fast..." Sakura struggling to keep up with his demonic speed, panting. "Oh, sorry. I've forgot you just woke up from your injury." Sasuke gave off a nervous laugh, rubbing his neck and starts to walk in a slow pace. "Where are we going?" Sakura asked, looking up at Sasuke. "It's a surprise. I'm sure you will like it and it will make you smile." Sasuke looked at her and smiled warmly to her. Sakura blushed and quickly looked ahead not wanting him to see her blush.
"Here we are. The queen's garden." Sasuke announced, smiling. He looked at Sakura to see her reaction.
Sakura was stunned by its beauty. There's a cherry tree in the middle with thousands of other flowers and plants around it with all different shapes and color. It looks like heaven. She let out the most gorgeous cheery smile and starts to run around in it. She starts dancing around, singing. (She used to do it all the time when it's raining, in the street with no one around. Everyone would stay inside, out of the cold, and of course, she doesn't remember them.)
'wow...' was all Sasuke could think. There she is, a pink-haired angel singing with her angelic voice, dancing like a fairy with sakura petals joining her dance around her. He mentally burned the picture down, not wanting to ever forget it. "She's beautiful..." he said out loud, he thanked god for not letting Sakura hears it or he would be so embarrassed.
"Sasuke! Sasuke! I love it here, it's beautiful." Sakura starts running towards him, laughing in pure happiness.
'Yeah, it is, but you're more beautiful' the young onyx-eyed boy thought. Sakura jumped to hug him resulting for the both of them fall down and starts rolling down the little hill. They were laughing and enjoying themselves. When they stopped, Sakura was on top of him, still laughing. "Thank you Sasuke, I've had so much fun with you." the little girl said smiling down at the boy. Sasuke blushed and fake-cough to try getting rid of his blush.
They held hands and walked back up. Sakura took time to observe the boy; he was flawless pale skin, beautiful onyx eyes, and soft-looking black hair with a tint of blue in it. He's got a stunning ear-ring of a ruby-colored stone dangling from his left ear and a long piece of gold metal covering some part of the bone of his right ear. He's wearing a black sleeveless zip-up shirt with a wide collar and black shorts and boots. Black suits him. Sakura mentally noted.
"Sasuke. I really like you ear-rings, they're really pretty. The stone is beautiful and the gold ear-piece also very unique. It looks like it has ancient writing on it like some kind of bless or spell." Sakura pointing at them with her other un-linked hand.
"They're spells and the stone is also used to control my bloodline power. It is said it's too strong for me to handle since I'm only five. But I will be able take out of my ear-ring and unleash my power when I'm fourteen." Sasuke said excitingly, gently jumping up and down.
"Wow, you must be really powerful, Sasuke." Sakura admiring him.
"I hope so...Sakura, you don't have any control system on. Can you control your power already?" Sasuke brushed her short hair away from his view to her ears and bandaged neck.
"?? I don't have any special powers." Sakura replied.
"Of course you do. All vampires do." Sasuke stated looking at her, not understanding what she meant by she has no special power.
".va...vampire?" Sakura's eyes widen, she let go of Sasuke's hand. Walking away from him. "You're a vampire?" She could feel tears coming up her eyes. She started to tremble remembering how her blood got sucked out by a hungry vampire and the unimaginable pain. She unconsciously touched her bandaged neck, feeling the pain around the bite mark.
"Sakura?" Sasuke getting very confused why she looked so scare and now trembling, holding her neck. "Are you alright, Sakura? What's wrong?"
"Sasuke, are you a vampire?" Sakura asked again patiently with fear growing inside her.
"Of course I am. So are you...right?" Sasuke getting clear of their situation. She's a human. That would explain why she had no power...HUMAN??? in the queen's white house! Sasuke's eyes widen, figured out she's a mere human. Sasuke looked at her bandaged neck; she must've been bitten by a vampire. A vampire who broke the law. RULE number one, no vampires are allowed to be fed by sucking blood from human at any time.
Sakura was terrified of him. He's a vampire. Will he try to kill me too? She shakes her head, not wanting to believe he will. She dropped herself on the grass and tears start running out. "...ple...please don't kill me...please." Sakura sobbed out, hugging her shaking form. Hiding her face behind her hair.
Sasuke hated to see her pained look, he wants to run over to her side and hug her telling her he will protect her forever, but fear he would scare her away, so he reached out his hand, "Sakura. It's ok. I won't bite you."
Sakura looked up very slowly, she looked at his hand then to his eyes, searching for any lies in his eyes but found none. She hesitantly took his hand, eyes locked with his. He gave her a little squeeze; he hugs the girl, "Sakura, its ok. It was just one vampire. The queen had set a law; vampires are not allowed to feed directly from human. I won't hurt you in any way Sakura and I won't let anybody else harm you either. "He pulled back a bit to look at her.
She can't believe what she just heard. Sasuke will protect me? She launched herself to him, hugs him tightly and cried.
"Sshh. Sakura. It's alright, I will protect you forever, I promise." Sasuke whispered in her ears, rocked her gently and she eventually stopped crying and went limped. Sasuke looked down to see her asleep. She looks so peaceful and like an angel. Will you be my angel, Sakura? Yes or no, I'll be your knight. He give the girl a kiss on her forehead and lie himself next to her and held her protectively, he slowly also drifted to sleep.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Ouch...arg, great I'm stuck and the teme ran away with MY prince-"
what on eart- the queen walked into her room, shocked to see a boy got his head stuck under HER bed which should have a pink-haired tiny IN it still sleeping.
"...and not bother helping me, ME, his Great Best Friend out from under the bed, just wait til-" Naruto kept talking to himself while he wiggle around his butt trying to get his head out. stopped wiggling around and stopped his cursing. s.h.i.t..Busted. She's mad, she's mad, she's freakin' mad!!! He seemed to recognize her voice, he slowly shrink down close to the floor and start to move slowly back under the bed. But just before his butt can also get under the bed away from the queen's icy glare, the queen grabbed his ankle and yanked him out.
Naruto shut his eye tightly, not wanting to face her glare. what were you doing under my bed, huh?" she said coldly, glaring at his trembling form. "And where is Sakura?"
Naruto opened one eye slowly only to have them shut tight again when he saw her angrily glaring at him. " he..she...thhey left." "WHAT!" Naruto jumped. "TO WHERE?!" Tsuande shake him like a doll. "ArahAharawaaaa, stop shaking me!" the queen stopped and held his collar higher. "Tell me where they've gone or I will feed you to the bats." she spit each word out coldly yet sounding desperate. "I...I think Sasuke said something like going to ...to.." Naruto now had his eyes opened, looking towards the heaven thinking while still hanging in the air. The queen's patient was wearing down fairly quickly, she was worried that the girl may try to run away or worse, found by some vampires who do not obey the laws. "I REMEMBER! He said they were going to the garden." As soon as he finished the sentence, he started choking as the queen' was still holding his collar, now running full speed to her garden, to the Sakura tree knowing Sasuke has a thing for that place.
When they arrived, Naruto was dropped to the floor, half-dead already. The queen couldn't help but smiled down at the two children hugging each other asleep under the Sakura Tree. She picked up the two kids effortlessly and dragged Naruto by his collar again, walking back to her house.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Seven years later...(they're currently around the age of ten)
"Sasuke-kun!" a pink and white blurred ran into Sasuke, hugging him tight.
"Sa-Sakura!" Sasuke chocked, blushing a bit and hug the girl back.
They grew taller; their face has started to sharpen up and was losing some of their baby features. Sakura let go of him, she looked into his eyes and smile, "Guess what." "What?" Sasuke already knowing what she was going to say. "I passed! I've passed with full marks in all subjects and now a medic." She starts to dance around and try to get Sasuke to dance with her.
"Really?"Sasuke asked kind of bored, knowing exactly she would graduate with flying colors. "Congratulations. What do you wanna do tonight then?" He smiled at her and hugs the girl, stopping her dancing. Sakura eyes shined excitingly, "We are going to celebrate! Me, you and Naruto. You know what! I'm going to phone mama and tell her the news." She smiled one last time, and then ran full speed towards her house. Sasuke watched her go and slowly walks toward the queen's house too.
The queen had adopted Sakura as her daughter and had her pretended to be a vampire by shaping her teeth to look like fangs and say that she has healing powers like herself. The whole kingdom as well as the human empire were shocked to hear there's a princess, directly from the royal bloodline but accepted and treat Sakura with absolute respect. The queen had ordered Naruto and Sasuke as her personal bodyguard since they were close friends as well as they had the strongest power out of their clans. Though they are still young, and can be beaten by a few very experienced top vampires, she wouldn't worry too much about Sakura's safety since she IS a princess. And if anyone dare hurt her, they're basically challenging the queen and the whole kingdom, starting a war. And she's certain that no one would be that stupid, and if there IS an organization planning something against her and most likely wants so take over her kingdom, she and her top spies would notice them before they could make a move.
Sakura was running fast down the long, silent corridor. No one usually walks down here unless they have permission to cross this corridor (which is near the queen's house) to get to the meeting tower, so people just usually walks around; take another route to the meeting tower.
The only sound she could hear was her breathing and the noise her little shiny shoes were making. She quickly turned the last corner but only to bump into someone who's now on the floor with her on top. The person pushed her off roughly earning himself a puppy yelp from the girl. He got up only to find it's his very own princess, the daughter of his parents' murderer.
His name is Sai, he's about as old as Sakura. He was once a human boy but was turned into a vampire due to some reason. He despise it so much, having to have vampire blood in his veins, his hater for the queen is beyond imagination. The only reason that keeps him from ending his life was the ugly hater and the need of revenge.
Arg, that girl, she makes me sick. She's got half of the queen's blood in her. Th-that murderer, it was all her fault that my parents died, all because of that never-dying old-hag. But not for much longer, I will find a way to kill that bitch, and this miniature one too. Wait, there's no one around, so why don't I have some fun now, she's cute but shame she's that murderer's daughter.
He looks around, seeing no one's around, he looked back at the girl seeing she was still there on the floor with watery eyes and kept rubbing her ankle, she'd probably twisted her ankle, weak. He smirked; slowly walks towards her like a predator closing in on its prey. He cut his palm with his sharp finger nails, letting some of his blood to float in the air. The majority of his blood transformed into some wolfs. Each jumped towards her and bite deeply into her limps. He used his remaining floating blood to act as a cloth to cover her screams over her mouth. He smirked darkly; enjoy seeing her blood slowly tainting the concrete floor. Soon, very soon, the same will happen to the queen. I will have her blood running down my parents' grave.
The pain was so unbearable, Sakura couldn't wish anymore than to faint and let the feel of pan disappear. It all happened so fast. One moment she was running, then hit someone hard, fell on top of the person, got threw to the floor hard, then suddenly wolfs attacking her and now she feels like dying which she probably is.
He kneeled down in front of her; he made his blood cloth disappear and crushed his lips on her, hands running up and down her tiny body. His tongue pushed past her lips and teeth, ravaging her, taking her breath away. Once he's satisfy, "Girl, start healing yourself before you die, or else I will do more than just a kiss." he said coldly, soulless eye stare down at her dying form.
Sakura couldn't see anything with her tears making her vision blurred as hell, but she could see a shadow and could hear him speak fine. 'Oh god, I'm dying again. Wait, again? What did I mean by that? This is the first time I'm closed to the edge of life, but that's not important. I'm losing too much blood...Sasuke-kun, help...' Before she passed out, she managed to choke out,"I dun.. hav.. any pow..er..." thumped, she dropped to the floor still bleeding.
"I don't have any pow.er..." What did she meant by that? Of course she has, the same power as the queen, the symbol of life, the never-dieing monsters. Why lie? Doesn't she know that if she doesn't heal herself immediately, she will die? He expected her to stop faking faint and sit up and heal, but all he's getting was more blood flows out of her tiny body and her, NOT moving
..coul-could it be she wasn't lying?...she's not a vampire? Sh-she's a HUMAN?!
"Fuck! She's ...gonna die. She would die unless the queen's here but she's over in the human's empire having a meeting right now. FUCK!" he panicked, now thinking of hiding the still breathing form until someone spoke behind him.
"What the fuck happened here?"
