It was late at night, the village was sleeping but Sakura was up crying. She wanted to be able to leave her house which was boring, play with her friends without worry and most of all she wanted to see Itachi again. She didn't want to be cooped up.

The worst thing of all was the thought of Inoichi killing Itachi. Sakura has no idea why she feels so close to him, it was just something that happened. She hugged herself in the corner of her small plain room. She was right across from her bed and the window was right there to her left. She would sneak out but they put locks on it from the outside. Sakura started to sob lightly without noticing the small noise by the window.

"Why are you crying? I thought you of all children were strong if you would listen to a vampire conversation." Sakura's head snapped up to see Itachi sitting on the window seal.

"How did you…"

"You are really going to ask?" Itachi glanced over at her.

"Right. You're a vampire." She got up and wiped her tears off of her face.

"Why are you crying?" He asked.

"Ino's father Inoichi told my parents about the situation and I'm not allowed to go out of the house anymore. He also said he was going to kill you." She told him walking a few feet over to him.

"heh, Inoichi has been after me since I got here. He has a grudge against vampires for some reason. I don't blame him though." Itachi said as Sakura hopped onto the window seal.

"why do you say that?" she asked.

"I hate being a vampire. Everyone else thinks its glorious being able to have amazing abilities, which I cant say I don't like them, but I just… its like a curse. I don't want to live like a monster. People judge vampires because they believe vampires are vicious. Vampires are like that because that's what people believe." Itachi said looking up at the moon.

"Oh. I never thought of it that way." she told him.

"I admit I do drink blood but not like other vampires. I wait until I'm on the verge of dying to drink. After only a few years of being a vampire I have been able to control myself as if I have lived since the beginning of time." he said looking back at her.

"Thank you for earlier." She said looking down.

"I had no choice. I couldn't just let you get hurt." He told her with a smile.

"You also saved Ino as well. If they all knew how nice you were then she would thank you too." Sakura said looking up at him.

"Perhaps." Itachi said looking back up at the moon.

"My friend Naruto, his mom Kushina told me that Ino's mother was killed by a vampire." She told him.

"That explains why Inoichi hates vampires." Itachi told her.

"Didn't you get hurt?" Sakura asked. Itachi smirked.

"Vampires are fast healers. I heal faster then the others. I'm not sure why though." He said.

"Well I'm just glad your okay." Sakura said.

"You are a strange child if you worry about a vampire." he commented. Sakura just smiled.

"That is not possible. If anyone was to be killed I would expect it to be Deidara!" Konan yelled. Kakuzu and Deidara were standing before her. Deidara got an offensive look on his face.

They were in a cave themselves. Konan had a huge bed with dimly lit torches their with her two men, Nagato and Yahiko, sitting up. There was light coming down the hall, it wasn't as deep in as Itachi's cave. She was standing up on the bed furious at what she had heard.

"Hidan wasn't strong enough, we all are not strong enough to take him." Kakuzu told her.

"So naïve." Sasori's voice said coming from the shadows.

"What?" Konan glared.

"You can't train them, you can't figure out your opponents abilities, nothing." he said crossing his arms. "You obviously can't get Madara's cult back together."

"They should already know what to do." She shouted.

"Remember, it's an Uchiha. He is more advanced like Madara. And if you are also going after a stupid little girl you really do need help." Sasori smirked.

"Then what would you do Sasori?" She asked sitting down on the bed.

"first off I think Orochimaru should train these guys. Second I suggest you hit Itachi where it hurts. Go to the ones he loves." Sasori told her.

"I don't want him de…"

"He is never going to join so just kill him off. I'll join you for now. Orochimaru will not join but I can get him to train these four. Your two boy toys will need to help fight as well. If you all can help Orochimaru get the thing he is after then most likely he will help kill Itachi himself."

"Ugh, Fine. But I still want that girl dead." Konan scoffed.

"After he dies. He will try to protect her so that is when you really get him." Sasori walked closer to her. "I was watching them. Itachi is not one you should take lightly."

"So we have a plan then?" she asked.

"Oh yes. There is defiantly a plan." Sasori chuckled.

"I'm not sure if its him or not but maybe." Itachi and Sakura were sitting on her bed talking.

"What do you mean? Who?" Sakura asked.

"Orochimaru is his name. The Vampire you saw who killed Inoichi's wife. I met him and Sasori once. Orochimaru has that aura of a snake so it has to be him."

"Then why was he there?" Sakura asked. She had told Itachi more about the last time Ino's mother was alive. She remembered back when she had the sleepover with Ino. She had seen the man that was now known as Orochimaru. She couldn't forget how crazy he looked.

"I'm not sure. It might be an item." Itachi said.

"Huh?"

"A lot of vampires have items they use in battle. Hidan used a scythe for example."

"Oh I see. The only thing might be the weird snake medallion. He kept looking at it when me and Ino snuck down to see what was going on."

"That's a possibility." Itachi told her. "You should get some rest."

"Why?" She complained.

"Don't worry I'll be back again. Or is it you will worry about me?" he asked knowing what she would say.

"yeah. You have a lot to worry about and you don't worry." She said.

"Because there is no reason for me to." He got up so she could lay down. "So there is no reason for you to either." He pulled the blanket over her and knelt down.

"Alright. So when can I see you again?" She asked.

"The night after tomorrow." He said. "Remember what I said about the drinking blood thing. I haven't had blood in a really, really long time so I will be traveling far from here." He told her.

"Why so far away?" she asked.

"if I answer will you stop with the questions and go to bed?" Sakura nodded. "I don't like drinking innocent blood so I prey on those who do not deserve life. Such as bandits." he said.

"ok. Goodnight." she said.

"Goodnight." before she knew it he was gone and the window was closed and locked. She smiled before falling asleep.
