Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.
Thank you for all the reviews! I know I have seventeen or more for the last chapter, didn't count. But thanks so much! You all rock! I have no time (I'm not sure when I'm going to post this if it's on the 19th, it's my BIRTHDAY! so of course I cannot.)
Haruno Sakura was normally impassive during cases and mission; her eyes never betraying her and her voice always stayed commanding and stern, as if she was an army leader.
But nothing, absolutely nothing prepared her for the shock that was sketched all over her face, the aftermath of the shocking news. And this was coming from the girl who saw guts being pulled out from their bodies on a monthly basis. Her eyes, usually emotionless, were now wide and doubtful.
"WHAT?"
'And I though Naruto was loud.'
"Okay, first off, there's so such damn thing as vampires. Come on Tsunade-sama, you're sounding like Naruto, for Pete's sake!" (This of course, left a vain popping out of Tsunade's forehead, what an insult!) Sakura shouted out, her voice etched with surprise and disbelief.
"But... it does fit in with the case." Tenten added in. Bad idea. Sakura turned to her, giving her a glare that said: "you're not helping".
Of course, it could have been "How dare you!" or something along the lines of "I can't believe you!" but that was beside the point. Tenten shrugged.
"Sakura." Tsunade said. "I know you have mood-" Tsunade stopped before she made Sakura even more angrier than ever, if possible, and only said, "It's the truth."
Sakura was known for her amazing ability to solve cases, but she was also known for the amount of mood swings she tended to go through. This moment was of course, one of them.
"Gomen-nasai, Tsunade-sama. Please forgive my rudeness." She stated, her voice clearly back to normal. Tsunade mentally slapped herself. What she really needed was some sake. NOW.
On a tree branch just outside Tsunade's office, hidden in the shadows, was Uchiha Sasuke. Sasuke, who was crouching down, his eyes filled with amusement as he witnessed the famous "Haruno Mood Swings". Quite hilarious, but Sasuke didn't laugh out loud.
But underneath his eyes, his mind was raging with lust. The newspaper article set in his house only showed a close-up of her face... but she was indeed a special one at that.
Her hair, silky and soft, cascaded down her shoulders, and the strawberry-blonde color only made it more unique. Her jade eyes sparkled at every turn, no matter what emotion she portrayed. They were alluring in every way. Her body... well, her body filled out in the right places, and her curves were fully developed.
Her body was mostly attracted by Uchiha Shizaku, Sasuke's inner vampire, who was encased in Sasuke's body due to a spell cast by Haruno Mikoto, leaving Shizaku's body to form to dust while his mind was sent to a human vessel. Once Shizaku entered, Sasuke, who of course was not a vampire at the time, turned vampiric, but his body and mind grew... and it would keep growing until he turned twenty-one years of age.
Sasuke did not know the story between Uchiha Shizaku, his uncle, and Haruno Mikoto, who he supposed was Sakura's aunt or someone else related to her.
Actually, it wasn't that he didn't know, it was that he truly did not give a shit.
Sasuke smirked, realizing that Sakura was leaving Tsunade's office, and his smirk only grew when he watched her leave out the door.
Time to make an entrance.
Sakura sighed as she left Tsunade's office, embarressed over her little outburst in Tsunade's office. She removed her hair from its ponytail, and took off her café colored detective coat, and replaced it with her dark red jacket that had a tan trim, covering her red tank and brown mini skirt, but not her brown leather boots. She placed her hands in her pockets, putting on her gloves, and kept walking down the street.
It was indeed a cold night, for some awkward reason, for it was the middle of spring, Sakura's favorite time of year. The sakura trees were in bloom, as well as the other flowers, much to Ino's delight. But Sakura frown; something was wrong tonight. She knew it was dangerous to walk around alone at, she glanced at her watch, midnight.
Sakura looked at the watch once more. ' Wow. Midnight already? ' Sakura sighed, forgetting about it and letting her mind wander to other thoughts, such as Tsunade's comment.
Vampires? Please. Next thing you know, Tsunade-sama would be babbling on about werewolves and pixies. How fun...
For vampires were imaginary.
But it did make sense. Sakura, not being one to lose a battle unless it was against her boss, you know, the lady who had the power to fire her and make sure she never got another job in Konoha, glared at Tenten, the only idea she had at the time. But inside, Sakura knew Tenten was right. Two puncture marks against the victim's neck, too small for a knife, too big for a needle. And then there was the fact that Yumi, the victim, was drained with blood. Who knew how long that took if the murderer was human? She didn't want to find out; right now, she was tired, and sleepy, ready to fall down on the floor right this instant.
"If you do that, who knows where you'll be in the morning..." Sakura's eyes widened at the whispering voice, hissing in her ear behind her. She didn't move, and she didn't feel that her... attacker, if she could call it that, moved either. Her hand silently moved towards her leg, where a gun was strapped in its holster. She always kept a spare gun ready.
But, her "attacker" grabbed her hand so quickly, that in a milli-second, Sakura's hand went from her leg, she was so damn close, to her back, both hands being held by her "attacker".
"Who are you?" she asked, struggling. The person behind her smirked, turning her around quickly, her hands still behind her back being held with one strong calloused hand, while the other hand was put over her mouth. The attacker smirked again, bringing his lips to her ear, and hissed three words.
"Your imaginary vampire." He hissed as Sakura saw fangs shine in his mouth out of the corner of her eye.
Damn, she was as good as dead right now.
Thanks for reviewing, you all reviewed, and I'm happy, so I'm updating. It's my birthday today!
If you can't guess who's behind Sakura, I think you're just--- calm down, I won't say anything.
Please review or I really won't update.
