Chapter 3
That evening, Sasuke met her on the balcony for watch duty, as per usual. She seemed a little sad. Her eyes, now watching him, were filled with regret.
"Hey, Sasuke? I'm sorry about how mad I was..." she sighed.
"Yea..Whatever..." He noticed her glaring at him. What was she expecting? 'I'm sorry too?'
"Have a little remorse..." She murmured through gritted teeth.
"I will when it becomes a food."
She didn't reply. He was determined to be difficult, wasn't he? "Well at least we agree on something..."
"Yuki's an idiot."
"What is it with you and Yuki?" she asked. The two most important guys in her life were always at odds. Why was that?
"You aren't very observant are you? Yuki's not like us. He's a vampire. I hate them!" His voice was layered in spite.
"Why..." He looked away. "Oh...Your family. Sasuke, I'm..."
"Whatever...I'm going to check the halls." He turned away, leaving her to monitor the yard. How could she value Yuki so much that it blinded her to the real world?
"Sasuke..." She moved to go after him but at that moment, she spotted two day students in the middle of the pathway. Without thinking, reckless girl that she was, she jumped straight over the balcony rail. She gripped a tree branch mid-fall and dropped carefully the rest of the way to the ground.
"Prefect..."
"You two! You're not supposed to be out here!" she declared.
"Oh, please." One girl rolled her eyes. " What's the big deal? We were only taking pictures of the moon dorm, until TenTen cut her knee."
"Cut?" A worried expression shot across her face. Vampires all around and she was bleeding? Disaster zone! "Up! Get up! Let's get you back to your dorm rooms!"
"What's the hurry?"
"Oh, for goodness sake! Just get up and go!" She turned immediately when she heard the bushes rustle.
"Hey, Sasori, is it just me or do I smell blood?"
"Kyaaaaa! Deidara-sempai!" The two girls behind her were estatic.
"Deidara-sempai, what are you doing out here?" Inita asked, as professionally as she could manage to. "You and Sasori should be on the moon dorm campus."
"It's night time. I can go where I want." He smiled at her annoyed glare.
She knew he was right. " That may be true, but I can't allow you near them." She stood between them and the two day student girls, hoping to intimidate them.
"What do you mean?" His eyes widened. "My dear prefect, you must be joking."
"Eh?"
"It's your blood I mean, Inita -chan." He took a deep breath. "Ahh...It smells delicious..."
"Deidara-sempai? What's going on prefect?" TenTen asked.
Inita was too shocked to hear her. Slowly her eyes shifted to her palm. Blood! Red; glistening on her skin. How? It must've been when she grabbed the tree branch. She had millions of thoughts rushing through her mind and all the while, the crimson liquid trickled down her wrist. The realisation petrified her, allowing Deidara time to grab her arm and pull her closer.
"This smell...It's intoxicating. You know what, Inita? You are..." he leaned in, whispering the final few words seductively into her ear. "You really are tempting me..."
What did he mean, tempting him?
