I don't own Naruto!
A month went by. The alarm clock in Sakura's room started to go off, it was very, very loud.
SMASH. Sakura's destroyed the clock with her fist. She growled as she got up from bed. She was still getting used to waking up this early again. 'WHY THE HELL DOES SCHOOL HAVE TO START THIS DAMN EARLY!' She mentally yelled.
Sakura wore a short white summer dress with a jean jacket. She had brown lace combat boots.
"HEY SAKURA-CHAN! ARE YOU UP?! SCHOOL STARTS IN LIKE 15 MINUTES!" Naruto shouted from the downstairs. Once he said that, Sakura did her hair and went downstairs in 10 seconds.
"How the hell did you wake up before me?" Sakura said, annoyed. Naruto blushed a little and he rubbed the back of his neck. He laughed nervously.
"Um…eh.. I was just exited I guess." He said with a little hesitation. 'This school I really rubbing off on me.'
She looked at him tiredly and annoyed but just shrugged it off after a few seconds. They walk to school without a problem and made it to class.
Sakura looked around and saw Sasuke. He was staring at her. She smirked a little. 'I think he likes me now.' she inwardly laughed. She next to him, again.
Once her and Naruto sat down, Sasuke looked the other way. He was trying to hide the small blush that was on his face. While Naruto narrowed his eyes at him. 'Him!'
"Hey Sasuke, do you have a pencil I forgot mine." Sakura whispered. His eyes widened a little. Sasuke reached in his bag and got out a pencil. 'He didn't ask why. Wow.' Sakura thought in awe.
"Here." Sasuke whispered while handing Sakura the pencil not even looking at her. She took it but brushed her hand over his which caused him to blush. 'She so soft yet cold' Sasuke thought with the tingles on his hands where Sakura touched. 'Are they like him?'
Today was pretty easy, they already met a lot of people so it wasn't awkward. Classes were easy and it was just a smooth day. Until lunch started, then hell broke lose.
Naruto and Sakura sat the Ino and the gang that day when an unexpected guess came by. It was no other than Ami but she wasn't with Karin. No, she was with a little army of fangirls who were pissed.
"Oi! Billboard brow! Why do wear so much makeup huh?! You most be kidding me if people think skin like that is so pale! I bet Sasuke-kun thinks your fake!" Ami yelled even though she was right next to Sakura. Sakura narrowed her eyes a little and smirked. Everyone else in the gang glared, hard.
"Ino, do you have a wipe?" Sakura asked calmly. Ino nodded and handed over a wipe. Ami smirked. 'Time to see how ugly you really are.' Ami thought in excitement. Sakura proceeded to wipe her face and nothing happened. Her face was still the same. She closed her eyes and gave a small smile.
"I don't wear makeup like you do Ami." Sakura said sweetly. Ami was shocked. The other fangirls eyes were wide. 'How… how is that possible!'
Everyone in lunch were watch by now. Ami was certainly failing, again. And little did they know Sasuke was watching. He was also shocked. 'So she really is that beautiful. They are like him.'
"A-Ami! Stop, this isn't funny. Y-Your only embarrassing yourself." Hinata said with all her courage. She wasn't going to stand there and do nothing but did she make the right move?
"Shut up Hinata! Who the hell invited you here anyway you cry baby!" Ami yelled while the fan girls were whispering hateful things. Hinata was on the verge of crying. By now Sakura was now pissed, no one hurts her friends.
All of the sudden Ami was on the ground with a red mark on her face and Sakura standing up, her hand in up and glaring down Ami. Ami was scared now, no one had the courage to hit her. The fangirls were scared to that they were already gone.
"How about you shut up and get out of here before I get really pissed off." Sakura said with a red glint in her emerald eyes. It took a while for anyone to process what was happening.
Ami ran away crying slightly. Naruto sat up from his chair with worried eyes and gave Sakura her bottle. She took it and drank a little.
"Hey, are you okay?" Shikamaru said in lazy but worried way. She nodding and looked up with a sad smile. Naruto saw this and stepped in.
"It's nothing don't worry about it." Naruto said kind of seriously. Of course he was worried about Sakura but he needed to keep their secret.
"Are you sure?" Ino said.
"Yeah." Sakura said. She looked a little dazed. Lunch ended shortly after that. They walked in the hauls.
"Sakura-chan are you okay?" Naruto asked. 'She shouldn't be like this after having blood. Is she just really hungry?'
"I dunno, I just need to sit down…." Sakura said as she almost fell but Naruto caught her. She gave a weak smile.
"Are you hungry?" Naruto whispered
"Yeah," Sakura whispered and looked at the ground in shame.
"Can you last the rest of the school day? Wait.. never mind that. Here just drink some more. It's a short day so you don't need much for P.E." He whispered as he gave her the bottle. She drank it hungrily. Before she knew it, it was all gone.
"Feel better?"
"Yeah, I guess."
They were together the rest of the day. Naruto was watching Sakura a lot. Just make sure she's okay.
"I'm going to the art room again, I forgot my painting." Sakura explained. Naruto sighed.
"You forgot the painting a month ago, I'll go with you to see if it's even there." He said with pleading eyes. Sakura closed her's and shook her head.
"No need, just go home. If anything happens I'll be home before you know it." She said with a grin. Naruto gave a sad smile and walked away. 'If that bastard shows up again I'm not letting it slide. Not again.'
Sakura walked off back to the school into the art room. It was mess as always. No one bothers to clean it because barely anyone enters. She walked around for her painting and didn't see it. But she found something else.
She remembered Sasuke cut his finger yesterday. She looked down at where he was. She gasped. His blood was still there, it was just dry. It's been a month and it still smells fresh. She was fixated on it until someone walked in.
"Ah, Sakura." Sasuke said with a smile. 'This is the second time we saw each other in here. I hope she doesn't get creeped out.'
"Oh, Sasuke." Sakura said with a small smile looking up. 'I'm about to have the weirdest conversation ever, aren't I?' Her smile faded as she smelled his blood again. 'No, not again.'
"Wow, they still didn't clean it up. Oh wait! I forgot you were afraid of blood. I'll go clean it up." Sasuke said. He was about to get wipes but then stopped by seeing Sakura about to walk out the room. He ran up to her and grabbed her wrist, gently.
"Where are you going? Aren't up here for something?" He said in a pleading voice. She winced a little but took her wrist and started to walk out but stopped by Sasuke running in front her. Sakura gasped.
"I need to talk with you. Please." He said. She closed her eyes and gritted her teeth, walked back in the room. He was surprised that she listened so easily but nonetheless, he followed her. They sat down and Sakura gave him a 'get on with it' look. He got the hint and started.
"Look, I… uh, just wanted to say that I've been watching you. BUT NOT IN A CREEPY WAY. I just always found myself drawn to you, it's wried I know. But you're… different. Your not a fan girl nor do you show that you like me. You don't wear makeup…." Sasuke began. She narrowed her eyes.
"So your calling me ugly?" She asked in a bored tone. He blushed and put his hands.
"No, no! Your just unbelievable beautiful… um…eh.. I…! Anyway, I'm saying you… and Naruto seem… inhuman." Sasuke said with lots of hesitation. Sakura narrowed her eyes again.
"Okay, if you say so. I gotta go." She said as she was about to stand up he stopped her again.
"Stay." He whispered, she listened. "You… you remind of my brother the day he killed my family." Sasuke muttered. Sakura gasped.
"What… what do you mean?!" She said a little offended.
"He was as pale as you, he drank out of a bottle you can't see out of, like you and Naruto do. He looked and acted like that two days before he killed them. My mom cut her finger while chopping fruits and he just…. attacked her… then my dad. He let me go. People told me my brother, Itachi Uchiha, was a vampire. I didn't believe them at first but then I did some research and found out he was one. So Sakura… are you a…. vampire?"
"No Sasuke, vampires aren't real. He probably had a disorder." Sakura said seriously.
"MY BROTHER DID NOT HAVE A DISORDER! Sakura don't lie to me!" Sasuke roared and glared. Sakura glared too.
"Stop yelling and I'm not a vampire. I'm going now." She said getting up but Sasuke stepped in the way. He had his pocket knife out. "What are you doing Sasuke?"
He walked the door way and blocked it. Then he put the knife on his wrist and slit it. Sakura's eyes widened in horror. "SASUKE, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!" Sakura yelled.
"Your a vampire and this is how I'm going to prove it." He said then his eyes soften with a small smile. "I love you, Sakura. I would never betray you. Your secret is safe with me." Sasuke stated with one tear going down his pale cheek. To tell the truth, she was the only person that made him smile like his family did. Sakura eyes were shaking, on the verge of tears. 'Sasuke, please go.'
She looked down "Sasuke…." Sakura whispered, her face were covered by her hair. She gritted her teeth as her fangs threatened to grow. Her pupils went into slits but her eyes were still emerald. She was hungry and Sasuke was right there, bleeding.
Sasuke walked up to her. "If you want my blood, take it. I trust you." He said with a smile. Sakura was afraid, afraid of losing control. She was great at control but when she's hungry…. that's where things get complicated. And she heard his voice, she let go for a moment and without warning, her fangs grew and her eyes went to glowing crimson. She closed her eyes and still hid her face.
"Sasuke… you need to get out of here. I don't think I can last much longer." She whispered. His eyes soften. He wouldn't go, he couldn't while she was on the verge of losing it.
"Sakura, it's okay… you won't hurt me." Sasuke said softly.
"No, Sasuke. If I drink human blood…. I don't know if I'll stop." Sakura whispered. She couldn't stop the bloodlust, all she could do was push it back.
"Then what do I do?" He asked now worried. Her shaking hand pointed to her bag. He grabbed the back and opened it.
"Get the… vervain." She grunted. His eyes widened. He got the tube of vervain out of her bag and gave it her. She drank tube and started to cough in pain.
"What's going on?!" He asked with worry. He sure as hell didn't want to see her in pain, because he caused it. She fainted and Sasuke caught her. Then took her to her house. He knew Naruto wasn't going to be happy.
"Hello! Anybody!" He yelled as he knocked the door.
"I'll be right there, damn!" A voice yelled. Sasuke's eyes widen. 'The mayor!'
"Yes— Sakura! What the hell happened! Never mind, just get her inside!" Tsuande yelled as she opened the door.
He ran in and put her on the couch. Tsuande followed with questioning eyes. "How did this happen Sasuke Uchiha." She said. He gasped a little. 'She knows my name.'
"I wanted to know if I was right, if she was a vampire. I slit my wrist and she didn't want to hurt so she did this. I'm sorry Tsuande-Sama." He said, ashamed. Then his eyes widened. 'My wrist!'. "Do you have anything to stop the bleeding by the way." Tsuande sighed and in two seconds his wrist was healed.
"Sasuke Uchiha…" Tsuande began seriously. "Do I have your word to keep this a secret?" She was really serious now. Sasuke nodded.
"You have my word." Sasuke promised. She let out a sigh of relief.
"So what happens n—" Sasuke began but interrupted by a yellow flash throwing him into a wall. It was Naruto.
"You bastard!" Naruto yelled as he pick up Sasuke by the caller. "Why the hell did you hurt Sakura-chan!"
Sasuke closed his eyes. He knew he deserved what he was about to get. Naruto punched him in the gut and Sasuke spit out blood.
"NARUTO! STOP!" Tsuande yelled as she yanked him off.
"Baa-chan! Don't protect him that—" Naruto said but got slapped by Tsuande.
"He's the one who brought her here and he knows our secret! He's keeping it safe! Show a little respect from now on!" Tsuande shouted at Naruto.
"Do you really trust him?" Naruto said, looks like he finally got serious.
"Yes. You have no school tomorrow, yes?" Tsuande said. Sasuke nodded.
"Then do my a favor, come back here tomorrow to talk, kay? 12 PM, maybe?" Tsuande said.
"Yes Tsuande-sama." And with that he left.
"Naruto, put Sakura in the cellar." Tsuande said. Naruto's eyes widened.
"No! Why is does Sakura-chan have to be in the cellar?! She did nothing wrong!" Naruto shouted, glaring at Tsuande.
"It's time, she needs human blood now." Tsuande stated.
"No! She doesn't need—!"
"Look at her Naruto! She's starving! Look at her face! Vervain can't keep her in control anymore! You know it's time!" Tsuande yelled back.
Naruto walked to Sakura and lifted her lips with his fingers. He gasped. Her fangs were still there, they were supposed to disappear from the vervain. He also checked her eyes, they were still crimson. He was on the verge of tears, he picked her up and brought her to the cellar.
The cellar was as big as a normal size bedroom. The walls were made out of brick and there were gray bars. All it had was a mattress with one sheet. Naruto put her on mattress and looked back at her with tears in his eyes. 'Why is she always suffering and I'm doing nothing? It isn't fair. Please be okay, Sakura-chan.'
-The next morning-
Tsuande walked down to the cellar with Shizune at 7 AM. They were both worried about Sakura at the moment. Shizune was holding a blood bag, human blood.
It was dark in the cellar, you could only see the front half. They couldn't see Sakura, all they heard was her breathing.
"Hey, Sakura." Shizune said with a smile "We brought you something."
Tsuande eyes narrowed "Open the bag." She ordered. Shizune nodded and proceeded to open the blood bag. When she opened it, a drop of blood landed on the floor.
In insane speed, Sakura ran to the bars and grabbed them. Her crimson eyes and fangs were visible while she snarled and glared at them. She wasn't herself, that was for sure. The metal bars were groaning as Sakura was crushing them with her hands. Tsuande and Shizune took a step back. It has been a while since they seen Sakura like this, like a monster.
"Just as a suspected, those bars won't keep her in for long." Tsuande stated. Shizune closed her eyes, not wanting to see Sakura like this.
The bars were still being started to stare at the blood with a hungry lust in her eyes. She was now really hungry. Her fangs were throbbing, telling her to take it. The bloodlust was too strong.
"Give it to her now!" Tsuande ordered and Shizune ran to the bars and threw the blood bag through them. Sakura took it and drank from it hungrily. When she finished, Tsuande and Shizune knew it wasn't enough. She was still not in her right mind. They got another one and threw it to her. She drank again. Feeling satisfied, Sakura laid on the mattress and fell asleep.
"She should be back to normal now. But she will get hungry again, soon." Tsuande said. Shizune gave a small smile. They walked up to the first floor of the house and 3 hours later.
"Well, he's early." Shizune said. She walked to the door and opened it to find Sasuke. He looked very worried.
"Is Sakura okay?" Was the first thing he said. Shizune eyes soften.
"She's fine, but we still need to talk to you. Follow me." Shizune stated. Sasuke nodded and followed her. They ended up in Tsuande office and she was there with a bottle of sale next to her but it was still full.
"Hello, Tsuande-sama. What did you need for?" Sasuke said politely.
"Yes that's right. How much do you know about vampires Mr. Uchiha?" Tsuande asked.
"I don't know much. They drink blood, animal or human, they're beautiful, and they are hurt from vervain. There are these vampires called sannin and there's one vampire called Madara who is the strongest vampire of them all, blah, blah. And please, just call me Sasuke." He stated. Tsuande nodded. Shizune was in the back observing.
"Well, there is a time where vampires cannot survive on animal blood anymore. Sakura is going through that right now. I need you to watch over her and help her in anyway during school. I know it's a lot but it's only thing I ask other than to keep our secret." Tsuande pleaded. Sasuke gave a small smile.
"Of course I'll do it. She's the best thing that happened to me since my family was killed. I would do anything for her. But, why does she need my help?" Sasuke said. Tsuande smiled for a moment but it went away.
"See when a vampire reaches that state, they're more drawn to human blood and have a way bigger appetite than vampires that drink animal blood. It takes vampires years to control this but it'll probably only take Sakura a few months. Naruto will be there for her but he's kind of clueless and I need someone who can think straight." Tsuande stated.
"Okay Tsuande-sama, may I see Sakura?" He asked. Tsuande looked at Shizune and she nodded.
"Yes Sasuke. Just follow Shizune and be aware that Sakura might not be herself." She stated. Sasuke nodded and followed Shizune to the cellar. When they got there, they couldn't see her. It was to dark.
"Sakura? Are you there?" Shizune said softly. Sasuke just stood there. 'Please Sakura, be okay!'
"S-Shizune?" Sakura whispered. Shizune and Sasuke had a small sigh of relief. But they still didn't see her.
"Yes Sakura. Sasuke's here. We're going to let you out now." Shizune said. Sakura gasped
"N-No, get him out of here. I-It's not safe." Sakura whispered. Sasuke frowned.
"I'm not going Sakura." He said softly. Her eyes widened. 'Why can't you listen, Sasuke.'
"Please… just leave." Sakura said with the last of her patience. Sasuke's frown deepened. 'I'm not leaving, not again.' He started to walk up closer the cell.
"I won't. I'm—" Sasuke said but was stopped by Shizune. She put her hand on his chest to stop him from getting closer.
"You know what Tsuande-sama said. Remember, your still human." Shizune stated
"No, I'm not leaving her!" Sasuke yelled. Shizune gasped and Sakura got angry. She ran up to the bars in seconds, grabbing them. Sakura glared at Sasuke and he just looked at her, onyx met crimson.
"I said, leave Sasuke!" Sakura yelled. Shizune's and Sasuke's eyes widened but Sasuke's face harden a few moments after. He stared at her for a moment. She was way paler than usual, she looked sick. He walked closer, really close. He stared into her crimson eyes and narrowed his.
"No." Sasuke said. Sakura's eyes widened but shut them right after. One tear fell down her perfect cheek. "I said you can trust me and I trust you, with my life." He stated.
"You shouldn't…" Sakura whispered. Sasuke got frustrated. 'Why is she so damn stubborn.' He turned to Shizune.
"Shizune, can I be left alone with her?" Sasuke asked. She hesitated for a moment but said yes and walked back upstairs. As soon as she was gone, Sasuke walked to the lock on the cellar and started to unlock it. Sakura just stared at the lock but said nothing.
"You won't hurt me Sakura, I know that." Sasuke stated, then the lock was unlocked. Then, in a flash, he was pinned to the wall by Sakura. She gave a light growl, her fangs his neck, ready to take a bite. His blood smelt so delicious to her and she was so hungry. He let out a small sigh and gave a small smile. "It's okay, Sakura. Do what you want."
Sakura snapped back into reality at the sound of his voice and gasped. She leaned back and her crimson eyes grew in fear. 'Was I about to bite Sasuke?…' Sakura thought. Then she ran back in the cellar and closed it.
"Please… lock it. I can't… hold back much… longer." Sakura begged. Sasuke was about to protest until Shizune came back and in a flash and locked it. She turned to Sasuke, she gave a look of disappointment.
"Come back upstairs, Sasuke." Shizune ordered. Sasuke eyebrows furrowed.
"No, I'm staying with—" Sasuke said but was cut off.
"I didn't ask you Sasuke. Come on." Shizune stated, not leaving any room for argument. He sighed sadly while Sakura did the exact opposite. He followed her and found a pissed of Naruto and a very serious Tsuande. 'This isn't going to be good…' Sasuke mentally groaned.
-END OF CHAPTER!-
HEHEHEHEHE!
