Recap

'I. Hate. Uniforms' she thought hatefully. Then a bulb appeared above her head as she got a great idea. Looking up she saw her overhead light had turned on accidentally.

'Okay that was weird' she thought walking over to turn it off then returned to her idea. She smiled evilly.

"Well me must wear the uniform right?" she said to her self, pulling out a pair of scissors and a needle and thread.

"But no one said we couldn't alter it," she said. Snip, snip.

Chapter 6: Alterations and a few glares.

The next morning was bright and sunny. Sakura awoke before her alarm clock went off.

'what the hell? It's too early.' She flopped back down. As soon as her head hit the pillow her alarm went off.

"WHAT THE FUCK!" she screamed throwing her blankets off. She glared at the alarm clock. Her emerald eyes were deadly. With a sigh she finally got up. Muttering things under her breath that sounded a lot like,

"Useless…shit…kill…" she grabbed her altered uniform. Grinning for the first time this…morning she pulled on the blouse, now with short sleeves and a lower neck, the red vest that ended below her breasts and again a lower neck. The skirt she left alone. She grabbed a pair of fish net tights then her cargo boots and stumbled down the stairs.

"About time you were up," Kakashi sipped his coffee as he read the paper.

"And a good morning to you," Sakura grumbled. She glanced at the double-ended rifle at her foster fathers side.

"What's with the gun?" she asked, "You got a call in?" Kakashi nodded and he folded the newspaper.

"Me and Anko will be going," he said.

"Anko-Kaa-san?" Sakura was interested. If it involved both of her parents then this had to be big. Kakashi nodded.

"Don't ask what it is," he said sharply when Sakura opened her mouth to ask that exact question, "We can't tell you but we will be gone for about a month at the most." Inner Sakura gave a small cheer.

"No parties, we don't want any of your friends setting off the…alarm system." Kakashi said slowly. Sakura grinned; their "Alarm System" was a set of traps and death pools just waiting to be triggered by an unaware vampire or personnel.

"Well I don't want any of my friends dying," she said with a chuckle. Just then Anko burst into the room from the kitchen. She was carrying a cookie sheet in gloved hands.

"Brownies!" she cried with a huge grin. She plopped one down in front of Sakura and moved to Kakashi. Sakura eyed the bubbling brown mass in front of her. It gave off a stench that reminded her of garlic. Anko wasn't the best cook.

"Umm thanks Anko-kaa-san," she said with a fake smile she had perfected in grade five. Grabbing the brownie she hurried to the door pulling on her boots as she went.

"Sakura-chan?" Sakura tuned. Anko came and handed her another brownie,

"For the road," she said with an evil grin.

'Does she do this to us on purpose?' Sakura asked herself. She spied Kakashi walking rather quickly to the washroom. Grabbing the brownie she opened the door and stepped out into the sunshine. Letting out a sigh she walked down the steppes into the sidewalk.

"What's got you down?" Sakura turned and saw that Naruto was walking beside her. he was wearing the usual school uniform and seemed unsurprised about what she did to hers. With out letting her answer he snagged the brownies in her hand.

"OH BROWNIE! I LOVE BROWNIES!" he yelled stuffing it into his mouth.

"Umm Naruto…" but it was too late. Naruto let out a strange choking noise and ran to a near by bush to puke.

"idiot," Sakura muttered, then began to laugh. Naruto glared at her.

"That's not funny! What the hell is in that? Garlic?" Sakura laughed even harder.

She was still laughing when they reached the school. Naruto wasn't helping by being the idiot and denying that he was ever sick.

"What's he going on about now?" Neji was talking to Hinata when the two came up. Hinata looked worried at the scowling Naruto. Sakura just shook her head and covered her mouth to hide the giggles. Naruto just looked at the ceiling.

"I need some mouth wash," he said to himself. Sakura laughed even harder tears were coming down her face. She was bent over clutching her stomach.

'Why can't I stop laughing?' she thought paniking.

"S-sakura-chan, a-are you all right?" Hinata watched her friend as she started to cough. Sakura shook her head.

'What's going on?' she couldn't breath. She fell to her knees. A stench wafted to her nose.

'blood…decay,' she recognized, 'smoke,'

"Mama? Papa? Wake up!" she was her five year old self again; her family had begun to scream. Her mother grabbed her hand and pushed her into the closet.

"Sakura hide here and don't make a sound!"

"Okaa-san?" she was confused, why was her mother acting so strange. There was a high cod laugh at the end of the hall, Sakura's father and older brother ran into the room and slammed the door shut behind them. They locked the handle and braced their body behind it.

"I love you Sakura…' Sakura... Sakura! SAKURA! Her vision cleared, a pale face framed by black hair swam into view.

Sasuke was looking at her with a faint trace of worry in his cold eyes. His grip on her shoulders was gentle but firm as he shook her slightly. Slowly her vision became less blurry and sharper.

"Sakura, are you alright?" Sasuke said softly. Sakura swallowed and nodded slightly.

"Alright," Sasuke gripped her elbow and helped her up. Neji, Hinata and Naruto looked worried. Well Naruto and Hinata did, Neji looked slightly less impassive as usual.

"What was that Sakura-chan?" Naruto asked. Sakura shook her head and plastered on her fake smile again.

"Nothing," she said in fake cheer. The others looked unconvinced.

"Really I'm fine!" she held up her hands, they looked at her suspiciously and resumed talking.

"Sakura-chan, w-what did-d you do to your u-uniform!" Hinata cried out shocked. Sakura looked down.

"What?" she looked at her friend with a grin. She did a twirl letting her skirt go up a bit, other boys stopped to gawk earning glares from their girlfriends.

"It looked so boring before," Sakura said exasperated, "I had to do something!" that seemed to get Hinata's mind off of what happened, Neji was busy trying to decide if this was a healthy topic for his cousin. Sasuke however wasn't fooled.

'I smelt blood, that's why I came running, it smelt like Sakura's,' his eyebrows furrowed (I love that word) in concentration, 'then I saw her on the ground, the smell was stronger, like it was a trigger of some sort,' he glanced at the smiling pink haired girl. ' It's not as strong as before, she can't smell it anymore, but it's still there, weird it's like a combination of two different blood that smells like Sakuras…' "Sasuke?" Sasuke was snapped out of his train of thought. Sakura stood in front of him waving her hand in front of her face. She had one fist on her hip and she was leaning forward showing off her cleavage. No let's not go there, Sasuke averted his eyes quickly.

"Wassup?" they turned to see Shikamaru stroll towards them covering his mouth in a yawn.

"Trying to wake up vampy here," Sakura jerked her thumb towards the black haired "Vampy" Sasuke twitched at Sakuras nickname for him. Shikamaru shrugged looking them over.

"Here," he said tossing them some strange coin like objects.

"What are these?" Neji asked examining the coin. Shikamaru opened his mouth to explain but was cut off by some high-pitched squeal.

"Sasuke-kuuuuuuuuuun!" something pale with flaming red hair attached itself to Sasuke's arm. The girl hung on as if her life depended on it. Sasuke's eye twitched as Naruto and Sakura howled with laughter and Neji grinned, Hinata looked worriedly between Sasuke and the others and Shikamaru just looked bored.

"Get. Off. Me!" Sasuke said dangerously. The girl didn't budge.

"Non Sasuke-kun," she purred, ''we were made for each other, there's no way I'll let you go," the girl glared in Sakura's direction. Sakura assumed that this was Jessica.

"CoughHoreCough" Naruto fake coughed. Sakura snickered it was so true. Sasuke however wasn't amused, and he didn't look it either.

Sakura knew that look; his eyes were flashing a dangerous red.

"You know you might want to let go know," she said calmly. Jessica whipped her head away from Sasukes face and glowered at Sakura.

"Why would I want to do that?" she said smokily.

'Because he's about to kill you?' Sakura thought out loud she said, "Because I don't think he likes it."

'Meaning he's becoming dangerously close to killing her,' everyone else thought with a sweatdrop.

"What are you talking about?" Jessica purred again gazing longingly back up at Sasuke, "I know he just luuuuvs it." Neji quickly turned a bark of laughter into a cough at this obviously untrue statement.

"No I don't!" Sasuke snarled wrenching his arm from her grasp, "Fuck off!" Sakura caught a glimpse of fangs.

'Shit,' quickly she grabbed Jessica's arms and steered her away from the group.

"Let's take a walk here," she said softly. Jessica looked at her in a confused sort of way.

XXX

Sakura walked into Art 5 minutes late.

"HARUNO!" the teacher barked, Sakura turned slightly to show she was listening as she sat at her desk.

"Why are you LATE!" he glared at her.

'wow what a spaz…' Sakura sweatdropped, "I ..went for a walk," she said shortly. Hinata who was seated beside her snorted. The teacher glared at her a little while longer before talking to the class again.

"ToDAY we are TAlking about negative EEEEEMotions and How they are EXSpressed in ART!" Sakura stared at her teacher in pure amazement.

'How the hell does he talk like that?'

"YOU will PAINT the most NEGative piCture you can THink of. BEGIN!"

'what a quack…' Sakura thought as she pulled out a fresh piece of canvas. She tapped her mouth with the end of her paint brush, trying to think of what to paint. She looked over at Hinata. She was surprised to see how far along she was already but no wear near as surprised at what she was painting, two ninja's fighting in a bloody battle under a blood red moon next to a red streaked river.

'you never know what's going on inside that girls head…' then inspiration hit her.

'THAT"S IT!'

End of Chapter
