Forbidden Love: The Vampire Prince

In the morning Sakura felt refreshed, she has just had a nice warm shower and now she was off to the canteen, with Ino and Hinata of course, to get some food. She felt starving, as she never got anything to eat last night, she was too pre-occupied with everything that had happened yesterday. She smiled as she thought of Shizune's worried face. She wondered what she would be doing. She would probably be round to her house seeing if Sakura had slept in or something. Sakura wondered what she would do when she found out she wasn't there. She smiled at the thought of her panicked face, when really there's nothing to be worried about. Sakura is perfectly fine. No harm done. Nothing whatsoever. Though as Sakura was deep in thought, with the girls beside her, she bumped into none other but the Sasuke Uchiha, Prince of the Vampires. The mind reader. He held a packet, which looked like a cartoon of juice, in his hand. Sakura wondered what it was for, well obviously for drinking, but she wondered if there was blood in it. She couldn't help but feel curious, can you blame her? She's a curious person.

"Going somewhere?" Sasuke asked, raising his eyebrows at Sakura.

"Yup," she smiled, "I'm hungry and looking for food." Sasuke rolled his eyes, he had forgotten about human food. Luckily there was some around the place, due to the facts there are a lot of humans around here as maids and butlers.

"Ino, Hinata. You're letting her go the wrong way." He smirked at them, and Sakura glanced at the girls behind her, they were in a fit of giggles. She grinned at them and begged Sasuke to help her get to the canteen, she knew the girls would just guide her the wrong way, until she was about to die of starvation. 'How nice my friends are' Sakura thought sarcastically, smiling warmly at them, she knew they were only joking.

Sakura's belly rumbled, causing her to blush. Sasuke raised an eyebrow. "What was that?" He asked.

"My belly," Sakura whispered, blushing a slight shade of red. Clearly embarrassed. Sasuke smirked and grabs Sakura's wrist softly, letting go when he realises he wants to hold her hand. Ino raises an eyebrow at him and he simply ignores him, causing Ino to smirk. She knew what he was trying to do.

"Come on," Sasuke said, almost no emotion in his voice, he's currently debating against himself. His wants and sensibility fighting against each other. He wanted her so damn much. He knew that if they got together he would end up hurting her, and badly. He just didn't want to see her hurt, and that would be enough, right?

"Teme!" A strangely familiar voice yelled, "You're going to get Ramen with Sakura and completely leaving me, the demon, out of it? You racist!" Hinata rolled her eyes, and ran up to Naruto, kissing him. Sakura looked at Sasuke and then back at Naruto and Hinata. She blushed slightly, she had no idea that Naruto and Hinata are an item. She thought it was really sweet, the way the looked at each other and everything. She's always loved seeing happy couples, it has always made her smile. To be honest, she envied them a little, she wanted love so badly, she wanted to love someone so much, someone special and dear to her.

"Hinata, you're making me miss Shikamaru now," Ino said, smiling at the couple in front of her. She too had a boyfriend; but what Sakura didn't realise was that Hinata and Ino were already married. On the back of their necks laid a symbol, different in each case, claiming them as their 'husbands' property and lovers. Sasuke wasn't going to tell her that part about being a vampire, he found it an embarrassing topic to talk about. Though, secretly, even though he would never tell anyone about it. He found the scene in front of him rather sweet.

"Oi! Dobe, stop kissing Hinata. You're going to make me sick just by watching you." Naruto glared at Sasuke, and pulled away from Hinata.

"Teme! Watch your mouth, your Mum and my Mum might be best friends, but I'll still kick your ass! Jerk!" Sasuke smirked at Naruto's reply. He always knew how to make him tick. Sakura smiled up at Sasuke, she loved seeing him smirk, it at least made him look a little happy, but she longed to see him smile genuinely or maybe even laugh. He never seems to laugh! Only smirk. Sasuke quickly glanced at Sakura to see that she was looking at him, her eyes staring into his. He found them beautiful, but he wondered what they would look like when they sparkled.

"Sakura, what are you thinking right now?" He asked

Sakura, blushed a shade of pink and opened her mouth to speak "I'm thinking about how cute of a couple Naruto and Hinata are, I'm also thinking about falling in love and stuff." Sakura whispered, just barely audible to her ears but to Sasuke he was able to hear it as if it was spoken normally. He mentally smiled, he liked seeing Sakura all flustered. He thought it was cute, he want to pick her up right now and hug her. But, he couldn't. He knew perfectly well that he couldn't.

Sasuke continued to guide the way to the canteen, he breathed in Sakura's scent. She smelled like Cherries today, yesterday she smelled like fear. Today the scent was a lot more addictive. In the canteen there was human food everywhere. Sakura spotted an orange and picked it up, she loved them. Sakura began peeling the orange, but the damn thing was being stubborn and wouldn't open causing Sasuke to smirk. 'Damn, I had to go cut my nails yesterday didn't I?' Sakura thought to herself, still trying to open it. Sasuke held out his hand and Sakura handed him the orange, beginning to feel stupid. Ino and Hinata, who were behind Sasuke in stitches. Sasuke peeled the orange with ease, leaving Sakura feeling stupid.

"I could have done it," she whispered causing a smirk to appear on Sasuke's face again.

"Didn't look like it to me Sa-ku-ra," he said her name seductively pronouncing every letter in her name. She bit into her orange, trying to distract herself from Sasuke's sexy voice. Damn that sexy voice of his! Her eyes drifted to his lips and then mentally slapped herself. 'What are you doing Sakura? You can't kiss Sasuke. You have no right to kiss Sasuke. No… right… too,' she thought. She thought that someone as good looking as Sasuke would never fall in love with her, boy was she wrong! Sasuke was busy fighting with himself.

Meanwhile, Orochimaru was planning something. He was exiled. He completely, one hundred percent, blamed Sasuke Uchiha. It was his fault that he was banished. Well that's his opinion. In reality, he was banished for something Sasuke couldn't even frame. He killed several vampires. Not just several, about fifty odd. He wanted their blood. They were his enemies, and now… he's got the vampire hunters on his side. Boy, he was going to get his 'revenge' on Sasuke, his 'little pupil'. Sasuke told his that he had been raped by Orochimaru, well not in those precious words. The boy was only 6 at the time, six years old in vampire years. His Mum had also believed that he was behind all the mysterious deaths and had him banished. He blamed Sasuke for it all! He wanted to take everything Sasuke held precious away from him.

Which reminded him, he wondered how his spies were doing. They sneak around the outside of the Uchiha Mansion, and he was recently told of Uchiha carrying a pink haired human into his home, with an expression on his face they had never seen him wear before. He knew there was something about that girl. He was going to take her away from him, all he needed was a little inside help and he knew just who was going to use. The one girl that would hate Sakura, even though the poor girl did absolutely nothing to her.

--

Sasuke had a feeling something was going to happen. Orochimaru has been hiding the whole time, secretly plotting something. He could feel it. It was a feeling he had in the pit of his stomach that just wouldn't go away. He watched Sakura eat her orange, he hated the feeling he was having. He hated knowing Orochimaru was up to something, he hated the people that worked for him and he hated the feeling he had inside of him, the feeling to protect the girl from any harm to come her way. He had a sneaky suspicion that Sakura was going to get caught up in it all. He hated that fact. Hated it! Sakura sensed that something was up, so she asked him to explain more about vampires. A thankful smirk appears on his face, but he would never let her know that he was thankful, and he asks her one thing.

"You still have to tell me what you where thinking yesterday."

Nodding Sakura answered, "I was thinking about how nice it was to have a relationship like your sister and Clare, not to mention the fact that your sister is really sweet. I was also thinking about how that bastard – if you don't mind my calling him that – could do that to all those innocent people. I just don't understand. It's cruel. I was also imagining how amazing it would be to be a slayer/ninja/human. She must be able to right really well!" Sakura could go on talking all day, the topic excited her. That is until Sasuke covered her mouth.

"Do you want to know or not?" Sasuke smirked, enjoying the look in Sakura's eyes. The look of shock and excitement mixed together. She sparkled. Sakura nodded and once again, he began where he left off. "Us vampires, can eat human food if we please. It's not poison to use and neither is sunlight. To be honest, most of the myths about vampires are fake. The only reason people believe in those rumours is because of a stray vampire who only hunted at night. He attacked weak and innocent women, and sucked their blood. Thing is though, the vampire was half human. He wasn't born that way; but he was… altered but Orochimaru. He altered him to try and make it possible for humans to carry vampire babies. The plan didn't work. In other words it failed and the vampire ended up hunting more and more people, taking out a whole village. He had to be stopped. So, my great, great grandmother and grandfather had to go there directly to stop the vampire taking control of any other villages." Sasuke glanced up at Sakura to see if he had scared her at all, and once he was convinced he hadn't he continued. Ino and Hinata had left, with Naruto, they didn't seem to be too interested in the story. "There was an ancient clan, and you might find this bit interesting, they were called the Haruno's. They were the group that was taken out and one of us, the Uchiha's, was married to a Haruno. He was there during the massacre and he watched his wife's death, and he became determined for revenge. Killing the vampire himself." He stopped there. "That's enough for today, don't you think? It's my turn now." A smirk appearing on his face. Sakura sighed, she was enjoying the story.

"Alright," she said, "What would you like to know?" Sasuke shrugged his shoulders. He didn't actually know, he just wanted to know more about her.

"Tell me about your childhood or something." Sakura nodded in response and began.

"Well, I was born in the cherry blossom season, and that's where I get my name from: Sakura. My mother was a beautiful woman, her name was Tsunade and she was a well respected doctor at my family clinic – which I now own by the way – she always hugged me tightly and she loved my father deeply. I swear, I have never seen such a strong bound before. Her's has been the most touching I've ever seen. I dreamed of loving someone like that ever since I was five. My father, he worked most of the time, but when he was home my family was full of love and joy and nothing could ever take that away from me. I was dead wrong. Two years later my father died. Leaving my mother and I everything in his will. My mother and I were both depressed by his lost, but regardless we got on smiling as we had each other. My mother was my best friend, in fact she was my only friend as I never really managed to achieve friends at school. Nobody liked me and I, like my mother, wanted to work at our family clinic to try and save people. I wanted to know how I could've saved my Dad if I had the chance. Though, as soon as I stared working at the clinic, my mother died. I was fifteen at the time and orphaned. I felt really depressed but my mother's best friend Shizune helped me through it, and these past couple of years we became really close." Sakura smiled at the thought of her mother's best friend. She was like a second mother to her now. Sasuke stared at the girl in wonder, she seemed really lonely and before Sasuke knew what he was doing he pulled her into a tight embrace. Sakura, not knowing why, had tears falling down her face. His embrace soothed her. She pressed her face against his chest, she liked the position they were currently in. Not that she would admit it though, and neither would he, but right now she was happy.

He pulled away, looking at the wall. He felt awkward. She smiled at him; a heart wrenching smile. It pained him to see her like that but he didn't know the reason why.

--

Keirii was depressed. Clare had gone on another mission, but she should be back in a couple of hours but that wasn't the main reason she was depressed. Theo, her love, was away from home. She didn't know what to do without him, but what's worse is that she didn't know what she'd do if her brother's found out about him. Her over protective brothers. She didn't know what to do; she felt the need to go out and find him, but if she did his cover would be blown. She wished Clare would hurry up and return.

--

Hey guys, I'm sorry. I forgot to mention that Shiro is an OC and no way she would be going out with Itachi. Theo, and Keirii are also OC's and I believe there is one more OC to go. The OC about to appear will be better than Shiro, don't worry. Oh and Sasuke's chores? You'll find out soon enough. :P

I'm having so much fun writing this Fan-fic. :D
