New chapter… and to be honest, I'm just winging it; I didn't even right it in my notebook. So hope you enjoy!

"They're coming for her." The silver-haired woman said as emotionless as she could. Tears were threatening to break from her at any minute.

"I know." The rose-haired man tried to do the same. Tears escaped from the woman's eyes as the thought of the death of one of her own.

"She's our daughter, Koiji. She's our first, last and only descendant that is of our bloodline. Please, Koiji." She dropped to the floor on her hands and knees. Her sobs echoed in the empty library and even the man let out a small choked sound from the back of his throat.

"Pleas what?" He was hopeless. "Even if we are strong, there will be too many of them." Her weeps only grew louder each passing second, her tears stained her pale face and her vision was getting blurry.

"N-n-n-not i-i-i-if we were t-t-t-to…" She trailed off. She knew what was coming.

"I will never." Venom filled his voice, but the woman remained the same. First, he was going to rant about how they were better than that…

"As the top clan of the vampire world, we are not to sink that low…"

Then he would tell her how foolish that was…

"What gave you such an idea? Are you mad? No one will allow it…"

Lastly, he would curse at them and wish for their death…

"They are bastards. None are worthy of standing beside us. They'd be better off dead." He seethed.

"DO YOU EVEN HEAR YOURSELF TALKING NOW?!?" In just a few moments, the woman was standing right before him. "SHE'S OUR DAUGHTER AND YOU'RE WILLING TO GIVE HER AWAY?!?!?" SLAP. A red hand mark was left on his cheek. He stood wide-eyed at her sudden outburst.

Her voice shrank to a whisper. "Do you even care?"

My curiosity was peaked. The Uchiha hasn't told me where we were going. I groaned. He seemed to notice this and turned to look at me.

"You okay, Sakura?" I was a little taken a back. He's never called me by my first name before.

"Where are we going, Uchiha?" I see him wince and I raise a brow.

"She still hasn't warmed up to me, eh?" I hear him mutter. Warmed up to him? What the hell does that mean?

"What?" I pretend not to hear.

"Uh, nothing. What was the question again?" He stuttered a little. He isn't acting like himself. The Sasuke I first met was annoying and bastard-ish, not shy and vulnerable. What's gotten into him?

"I asked you where we're going." I replied shortly after. I see him smirk.

"You just said, away." He mocked. This is the cocky stuck up Sasuke I know and lov—know; yeah, know and know.

"Damn you." Slence followed after that.

The trip was excruciating. I couldn't think straight, I couldn't figure out where the hell he was taking me and…uh…that's it, actually.

"Sasuke, kudasai." This brought on a smirk. I could almost see his dark blue aura turn orange.

"We're nearly there, Haruno." I sigh in relief. No, not because we're nearly there, but because he said Haruno. I couldn't afford to lose my life just because I'm falling for 'The Enemy.'

"Where exactly is there?" He turns to me.

"Here." And he gets out of the car. I gasp as I follow him. The sight was…different.

"Utsukushii…"

It was a meadow. A freaking meadow, but this wasn't the meadow you'd call colorful; it was dreadful and yet, beautiful at the same time. The green of the plants were a dark and ominous shade and there are fire lilies, their blood red petals as full as ever. I don't know when they bloom, but I'm pretty sure it isn't during winter. Hence the name "fire" lilies.

I inhaled deeply; though the flowers have no sent, just the feeling of being in a secluded area was, uh, fragrant enough. I loved it, so peaceful and quiet. Is this how it feels when you die? I'd never know. This is the closest I'll ever get to death…and it…feels…beautiful.

I twirl around and let myself fall, landing on the soft bed of flowers. My frown returns to a smile and I sigh, contented.

I let my eyes close at the sensation. Happiness was that said sensation, a feeling. The feeling I haven't experienced in a long time. And all this…just because, for once, I am…away…

Then I realize I'm not alone. I look around for Sasuke. Where is that bastard? The grayish green leaves started to tickle my face and I sat up. There he was standing in front of a Sakura tree I failed to notice up atop a hill.

I stood up and walked to him. I stopped just a few meters away.

"Uchiha?" I walked closer when I got no answer. I feel of gust of wind and suddenly he was beside me…or rather I was beside him. Odd. When did I get up here? On a hill? Did he bring me up here that fast?

"'chiha." I received silence. "Bastard, talk to me." I saw him shake a little and for some reason I suddenly became worried.

"Sauke?" That's when he turned to me with a rare smile on his face.

"Is there something wrong?"

"Why would you think that?" I sighed, at least he was talking to me.

"Are you scared, Sakura-chan?" He mocked me. Ironically, I don't feel very pissed right now.

"Why here, Uchiha?" I turn to him, but he wasn't there. Instead, he was in the meadow, sitting on the ground. I growled. Even though I don't get tired that fast, it still is pretty annoying to be going back and forth from place to place.

When I appeared behind him, I hear him chuckle. "How 'bout calling me by my first name, ne, Sakura-chan?"

"Since when did I become 'Sakura-chan'?" I smirk.

"Do you really think I'd be that easy to play, Sa-su-ke-kun?" I pronounced his name slowly, letting each syllable slip of my tongue with a generous amount of sweetness.

"See? That wasn't hard; now, was it?" He turned to look up at me, his breathta—smirk plastered on his face.

"And so I ask again, why are we here?" I sat down beside him, looking out into the distance. My question went unanswered…for awhile. Then he turned to me with a fire lily in hand.

"Close your eyes." He instructs. I quirk a brow, but oblige.

"Stick your tongue out." He commands me again

"Where are you getting at, Uchi—Sasuke?" I feel him smile. My brows knit together instinctively.

"Just do it." And I do.

"Now open wide, aka-chan." I growl, telling him to get on with it. He chuckles and I frown.

I feel something soft in my mouth, but nothing familiar comes to mind. Then I taste it; the blood, sweet, delicious and such…pure blood.

"Open your eyes, Sakura." He whispers and I obeyed. What I saw was just too enticing. The Uchiha was leaning towards me; his eyes were red with black comas, the sharingan; my parents told me. A trickle of blood was rolling from the side of his mouth and I couldn't help but lick my own lips and find blood there as well. He smirks at my reaction and does the same.

"Wha—" He cuts me off.

In answer, he holds out the lilies.

Not much of a good cliffy, sorry. And I know the fire lilies were unoriginal; I got that from 'Avatar: The Last Air Bender', but I really just loved that episode. Hope you can forgive me.
