IMMORTAL DEATH

CHAPTER 3

- What happened -

Sakura took her sunglasses off to see better the new comer who disturbingly reminded her of someone. Unfortunately she just couldn't put her finger on it who he was and where she had seen him before. It's really frustrating feeling when you think you know someone but you just can't remember. It's like when you're looking for something and you can't find it and you get annoyed and frustrated and eventually you just give up. But after a while someone else find's it for you.

The man was looking at her amused as she tried to put the puzzle pieces together in her head but failing terribly. It was so like her to try to figure out everything. "I assume you don't remember me," He said coolly with his masculine voice to the still thinking girl and breaking her trail of thoughts.

It took her awhile to realize that the man was waiting for her answer and she just quickly answered, "N-no, I don't." She stuttered quickly.

He stretched his hand towards her, making her look at him confused, but then understanding what he was doing, she too stretched her arm into his bigger and manly hands. As their hands touched, Sakura instantly wanted to pull her hand back. He was so cold, like there wasn't any blood in his system to keep him warm like she

was. But taking her hand back was out of the question because his hand grabbed her hand firmly, keeping it in place.

"I'm Uchiha Itachi." He said and begun to shake her hand. "And I know that you're Sakura." He continued.

Continuing the hand shaking, Sakura could feel his hand getting warmer because of the warmth her hand radiated into his cold, pale fingers.

Sakura was getting more and more confused. How can he know her when she doesn't him. "How do you know me? We've never met before, if I'm correct."

"Actually, we have. You just don't remember it yet but you will," He gave her a stunning smile.

Now he's flirting with her, "Well, I was just about to go look for my mom so I have to go." Sakura said as she hastily got up from her position on the sun chair only to make the male look at her saddened.

"Oh, I didn't mean to scare you. I just wanted to talk to you." He quickly said when Sakura turned away from him starting to make her leave, but his words made Sakura turn around, back towards the still sitting man who was now getting up to confront her.

Sakura just wants to go look for her mom, but apparently it's not going to be that easy when there's a guy pleading for your company. To be honest, going look for her mom is just an excuse to get rid of the young male, so she sighed deep, "I want to go look for my mom, so please let me go, and just leave me alone," and crossed her arms trying to look serious which she managed pretty darn well.

The male sighed deep, "She's okay. She's still with the two younger men at the bar." He answered coolly taking few steps closer the wary girl.

He could hear her heart pound, from the nervousness, in her chest and her blood to run through her veins causing her smell to get stronger. As an opposite reaction, Itachi's vampire instincts kicked in. The feeling of his fangs growing, his need for blood causing him to clear his throat as he placed his fist before his mouth, and turning his head to side in a hope of catching some other smell than the sweet fragrance of the girl before him. He couldn't get rid of the thought of biting her and tasting her life blood until the said girl cut his thoughts.

"How do you know about the two guys?" This Itachi guy was getting more and more creepy, the thought was running in her mind as she watched his movements.

He gave a little chuckle. Of course he had the perfect excuse to make him look innocent and not some creepy young man who stalked young women to keep them safe, "I was sitting there," He points to his left a place under the pavilion.

"To my surprise I recognized you and your mother. Also there was the two guys talking with you two only half an hour ago, so I didn't want to interrupt, and if you're still suspicious you can go to my place under the pavilion and see the perfect view to here and to the bar where your mother is currently." He explained smoothly without any problem at all. One of the good sides of being a vampire, no matter the circumstances you'll always be able to fool humans.

The real reason for his arrival was not just recognizing her and her mom (and stalking them), but them being in danger. Hawaii is known for having only few vampires, of course because Hawaii is a small island, but these vampires are only after human blood, even though there are plenty of animals that could offer the nutrition vampires needed. Itachi has followed Sakura her whole life and noticed that she is attracting unusually a lot vampires after her. Is it because of her scent or something? He doesn't know the answer for that but he will keep others away from her all cost. Vampires are not to be taken lightly when they want to rip your head off and drink you dry, but it's also extremely unwise to mess with Uchiha Itachi.

Switching her weight on her other leg and her nerves calming down, "Okay, I believe you but I still want to go to my mom." She said and he lifted his hands to point he wasn't going to stop her and she turned to head towards the beach bar.

"I hope we'll see each other later!" He yelled after her and it made her turn her head to look at him as she still kept on walking. But she didn't answer and continued her way.

"We'll definitely see each other." He smirked as the words fly out of his mouth.

He stood in his place for a while until his cell phone went on. He took it out of his shorts and answered into it, "Hello?"

"Itachi, it's me Kakashi." A lazy voice echoed.

"What now?" This guy was starting to get on his nerves. Why can't he go and annoy someone else or at least get a life.

"Sorry to interrupt your stalking moment, but there is something important I need to tell you." His voice got serious in the end. This isn't going to be good.

"I'm waiting."

"You probably know that you brother was changed into a vampire at the same time you were changed? Right?"

"Are you an idiot? Of course. Can't you just get to the point, I have things I need to take care of."

"One of my friends thinks he saw Sasuke the day before."

Itachi's world just stopped, "What do you mean!? He was supposed to be dead! No vampire can hide forever when dozens of vampires are looking for him!" He yelled to the phone like it was a living person. His yelling attracted looks from few people walking past him.

"Well according to my friend, Sasuke just did so. He had your drawing of Sasuke still with him, from the time everyone was looking for him, when he noticed him walking in New York. So there's no mistake he was someone else and my friend mixed him with some other guy similar to him."

"This is just pure madness." Itachi sighed deeply to the man other side of the phone. Automatically he began to massage his temples like he always does when he is distressed. He has been looking for his brother from the first day he was changed into a vampire.

All this time, he was so sure Sasuke didn't die because he saw him change into a vampire just like him.

Itachi himself found Sasuke laying on floor, covered in blood that came from the ripped flesh on his neck. The memories of seeing his brother's ripped skin and flesh still made shivers go down his back,and also seeing the enormous pain in Sasuke's eyes caused by the venom as he struggled through the transformation.

He can still remember him screaming out of pain like it had just happened. As his younger brother's transformation went on he didn't even notice when he was attacked too. First he was calming his brother saying soothing words to him, and then flying across the room through their living room wall into a kitchen area, the impact so hard and forceful, it broke his skull.. Before landing on the floor he fell on the rock hard counter's edge and then slammed on the floor, he began gasping for air because the attacker had hit him on his chest probably breaking his rib cage.

The pain was excruciating. He just laid on the cold floor going through his transformation keeping his mouth shut for the fear of the attacker returning. Loving older brother he is, tears fell on his face as the thoughts of his brother came to his mind. Sasuke was there in the living room in pain without anyone to help him as Itachi himself was in the kitchen suffering from his own pain. As the pain grew stronger, Itachi heard silent steps closing him. Small figure came to his view but he couldn't make out who she was because of his blurry vision, but it was definitely a female. The figure crouched next him.

He can still remember the words, "I'm not going to kill you,-" He just grunted as an answer, but she continued. "Because you're just too beautiful to be killed and deserve an eternal life." Then he could see her coming closer to him. He felt something sharp pierce his skin and Itachi lost his consciousness.

After a while, he woke up from his living room. Weird because he was in the kitchen before, but he didn't have time to think about that because an electric shock ran through his spine and spread the pain all over his body.

He was afraid - he didn't want to die. And this felt like dying. He was scared of dying, of course, because he was yet to discover what he had become. As the time passed, Itachi discovered few new things about himself - like how he wasn't hungry but there was burning in his throat.

The burning in his throat was getting stronger, but his mind realized that his brother was in danger. He tried to get up but the pain was too much. This just reinforced his belief that something was wrong, or not the same. Nevertheless Itachi tried to get up to see his brother but only to find him missing and his parents only a few feet away, laying on the floor, dead. But Sasuke was not there - Only the pool of blood where he had laid.

Itachi began panicking and gasping. Itachi continued looking for his brother, but there were no signs of his him in the living room. Every part of his body was trembling because of the pain as he tried to get up, only to fall back. He took a few shallow breaths and the smell of iron filled his nose and mouth. Usually the smell wasn't that pleasurable, but now, he had never smelled anything sweeter. The smell came from his left and he turned his head to see where it came. His eyes locked on the pool of blood.

Until now, he hadn't realize how much the red, not yet dried, liquid tempted him but suddenly his mind remembered that his brother had been laying on that precise place not that long ago. It's Sasuke's blood. His brother's blood. And he craved for it. He covered his mouth and nose and turned his head to look somewhere else, but as soon as he again turned away, another wave of pain came.

Kakashi's voice broke through his memories, "You need to stop running after the girl and come back home so we can work this thing out." Kakashi was still very serious - something you can't get rid of.

"She's on vacation in Hawaii for the next week. I can't leave her here alone. You've seen how she attracts other vampires easily." Itachi exploded. He just can't leave her here.

"That's not my problem. I need to see you tomorrow and it's urgent."

"How is it urgent when you just found my brother? It can wait." Right now, he wanted to go back to his place on the beach and keep watch over Sakura. The only joy in his life at the moment.

"Your brother wasn't seen alone, but with someone we have been looking for a while. And I don't mean Yue who ran away. I mean someone who we actually thought was dead, Obito." This changes things drastically.

"Fine." And the phone call ended.

A loud sigh echoed from the other side of the room breaking the silence.

Blond haired male scratched his head as he turned from his back to his side on the couch. His yellow shirt had lifted over his tummy because of his constant turning and twisting.

"Seriously, can't you just stay put." Annoyed voice made the blond man stir from his sleep, making him pull his shirt back down and answer, "And can't you just sleep?"

Some silent cursing was heard because the stoic black haired young man kicked the couch, which flew against the wall (fortunately not crashing the wall down) and the blond man was crushed underneath it. Only few second after the mumbled cursing the couch flew almost back into its previous position in the middle of the room, near the loveseat where the other man was sitting. Except it was still facing the wrong way, the sitting side was facing the floor.

Slight smirk crossed the darker one's face. "You should practice more. It can't be that hard to place the couch the way it was." His remark only made the other one's blood boil more.

"Oi! Teme! Shut up!" He yelled back and dusted his clothes when he was standing straight. "If you want me to stop sleeping here, then you should stop hanging around with that creepy guy-"

"He's not creepy. And for your information I will dump him as soon as I get my goal done." He said monotonously and turned his book's page.

"That goal is?"

"None of your business, Naruto." Came the sharp answer.

Naruto lifted his hand behind his head and walked next to the couch to place it back into the position where it had been before.

"I thought we are best friends Sasuke, but you won't tell me anything, so I'm kind of getting doubtful that you don't want to be my friend anymore. And I have been thinking that a lot." Naruto explained and sat down back on the couch.

Sasuke sighed deeply and closed his book, "Thinking doesn't suit you, Naruto. So best if you forget about everything you have been thinking and continue the way things have been to date. That's much easier, if you ask me."

"So my doubts are just nonsense?" He grinned.

"Yes, they are. You have nothing to worry about." Sasuke explained calmly observing his long-time friend's reaction and facial expression, because there was nothing to be worried about. Sasuke has never thought about breaking the bonds between the two of them. And this just confirms that thinking doesn't suit Naruto. He should go more with the impulse than thoughts.

The reason why Sasuke doesn't inform certain things to Naruto, is only because he doesn't want him to get involved or hurt. They have this sort of brotherly relationship and Sasuke doesn't want to destroy it. Even though, Sasuke isn't telling everything, Naruto is his most trust worthy person.

"By the way, if you would be nice you would at least stop allowing Karin to come here." Naruto said and picked up a newspaper.

Sasuke raised his eyes from the book clearly asking Naruto to continue.

"I think she stole something, but I'm not sure it's just a hunch." Naruto give quick look at Sasuke, who just shrugged his shoulders.

The rest of the evening passed as the two of them made little chattering once in a while, but mostly in silence.

Sasuke and Naruto's comfortable silence was disturbed when brown haired girl ran into the room. As she pushed the door open, it made voice of groan and creaking because it was pushed to its limits.

The woman who arrived wasn't exhausted of course. She took few steps closer to the sitting males when she arrived in the room. She didn't look any older than the boys, maybe even younger with her big brown eyes.

Naruto was about to open his mouth to say something, but the woman was faster, "Hinata learned how to walk," she said as smile spread to her face.

The blond's face went blank of shock and he suddenly darted out of the room leaving his best friend and the female behind, but luckily Sasuke knew his friend, and he placed the book on a table in front of him and stood up.

Sasuke walked next to the door, "You coming, Tenten?" he asked and looked at the girl.

"Of course." She beamed and jumped happily out of the room followed by Sasuke.

"Can't you do that when I'm not around?" Sasuke asked with his stoic voice and shoved his hands in the pocket of his jeans. The humming and joyful movements of the brunette was getting on his nerves, but he only got annoyed glare from the female.

They took few steps and a vase on a little table fell on the ground because of the impact the two young vampires made against the wall. Sasuke pinned the woman under him as he towered over her, "I do not like people who disobey me." He practically growled at the girl in front of him placing his hand around her throat tightening his grip. And the whole time he looked in the woman's eyes.

Ten-Ten too kept her eyes on him not looking anywhere else, but him. This isn't the first time he was so close to her, but her body still reacted like it was the first time, if she could get goose bumps her whole body would be covered in them. His presence has always been like this to her. No other man has ever made her feel like this, but it's not because of mating or imprinting. Neither one of them knew why it is like this, but it just is and Sasuke doesn't even believe in the mating stuff so this can't be mating - That's the solution they came up with.

Then he began closing the space between their lips and touching her lips but only slightly - clearly trying to annoy her. Ten-Ten tried to lift her own head to make their lips touch fully but Sasuke pulled away, earning a grunt of displeasure. This only made him smirk and release his grip around her neck. She still continued looking at the black haired male as he backed down from her and furrowed her brows. Like nothing had happened, he took off the way where his friend had gone.
