Ino's POV

I woke up to find myself in a dark room. I realized that I was wearing different clothes from last night. I don't even remember what happened last night. All I can remember was that I was on a date with Shikamaru. Now I'm wearing clothes for winter in a dark room, not to mention it's freezing here and my throat is burning like hell.

"Where am I?"

"You're in the Ice Core"

"That…..voice?" Suddenly everywhere became bright, I looked at the direction the voice came from only to see Shikamaru.

"Shikamaru what are we doing here, I thought we were on….."

"A date? Yeah that's over; you're in the Ice Core right now"

"The Ice Core? Where is that and why is it winter. Wait, are we in Antarctica?"

"We are not in Antarctica and it isn't winter. The Ice Core is where my kind learn how to control their powers. It is located inside the Earth's core"

"What? The Earth's core? Your kind? I have no idea what you're talking about. All I know is that I am really thirsty and my gums ache like hell."

"That is normal for someone that is still becoming"

"Becoming what"

"A vampire"

"A what? You're crazy. Please take me home"

"I believe I can't do that"

I ran straight for the door with all my strength. He must be a serial killer. I opened the door and kept on running. I looked back and saw he wasn't even chasing me. I kept on running until I bumped into someone. It was Tenten. Was she also a serial killer? Right now I trust nobody.

"Ino, you're awake already?" She held my hand and that was preventing me from running away.

"Let go of me" she left me and I continued to run. It seemed that this house was endless. I kept on running until I saw someone sitting on a couch. It was….Shikamaru.

"You know that you can run way faster than that, you are a vampire. But then again, you aren't truly one yet."

"How did you do that? You were just….. How did you move that fast."

"It is a vampire's basic ability"

"Will you quit it with the vampire stuff? I'm out of here."

He said I could run way faster than that. There's no harm in trying…..right? I increased my speed only to see myself running faster than any normal human being. It was amazing; I could see every little detail as I was running. Before I realized it I crashed into a door. How I didn't see the huge door, I have no idea. Hopefully, it was the front door.

I opened it to see everywhere covered in snow. It was colder than any winter I've ever experienced. I came out of the house and looked at it from outside. It was huge. It was the biggest mansion I had ever seen in my life. The house was at least 60 feet tall. It was painted yellow-green. It had a symbol in the middle. It was three dark green leaves joined together through their bases. I could have stared at it forever but I had to run away from there.

"Will you stop running and listen to me." I gasped in shock and turned around to see Shikamaru. How did he even get there?

"You are not on the surface and you're not human anymore." This boy really needs to go see a doctor.

"Oh yeah, what am I then?"

"You're a fledgling. A vampire with human blood. And you can't stay like that for long"

"Why not? I would like to have at least some humanity within me."

"Nature would not allow that, you'll die"

"So I need to become a full vampire."

"Yeah"

"And how would I do that"

"By drinking human blood"

"You are crazy"

"He's saying the truth" Another voice said. It was Tenten. "You need to get human blood now. Can't you feel your throat burning?"

"That's just because I'm really thirsty. You know I used to look up to your family but now I can see that you guys are just a bunch of wackos."

"Shikamaru get her. We're heading to the surface."

"Whatever" he held me with an iron grip.

"Let go of me" I punched him but it was like punching a statue. He didn't even move an inch. He dragged me back into his house and ran with me to his room in the blink of an eye. He opened his wardrobe and put his eye near a scanner. It beeped with a green light and a secret door inside his wardrobe became visible. He opened the door and I saw an elevator made entirely of glass. It was circular in shape and was as big as a room. We entered it and he pressed a red button. The elevator began to go up really fast. I looked out to see the elevator had left his house and was still going up. It looked like we were going to enter space. How is that even possible? We were still going up. Apparently, the elevator was able to go into space. But in space you can't breathe.

"You idiot if we leave the Earth's atmosphere, we'll die of lack of oxygen."

"We are not leaving Earth and there's oxygen in here?"

We then left the Earth's atmosphere. Because everywhere was dark I assumed that we were in space. I looked down to see Earth only to see a huge ball of fire. That must be the Earth's core. Everything else then happened in a second. We were in someone's house.

"Where are we?"

"We are on the surface, my house"

"You mean that you really are a vampire and I'm a fle-fle-fledgling"

"Yes"

"How? Wait a minute, I remember. You bit me during our date. You did this to me. You turned me into this"

"Yeah"

"You bastard. How dare you turn me in-into a-a-a-a monster without my permission? I didn't choose to be this"

"Most of us don't"

That's when I snapped. I punched him so hard that he flew and broke a glass table.

"You're gonna regret what you did to me" I was going to kill him until I was stopped by Tenten.

"Let go of me"

"You say that a lot"

"I don't need your help anymore I'm going home" as I turned I hit someone's chest. I looked up to see who it was. It was Sasuke.

"Sasuke? What are you doing here?"

"Preventing a childe from roaming the world unguided, killing everyone in the process"

"I am no child"

"He meant 'childe' as in c-h-i-l-d-e. It's a term used for a young, inexperienced vampires." Tenten said.

"It's also a term used for foolish vampires" Shikamaru said while wiping off some blood from his mouth.

"Why don't you SHUT THE HELL UP YOU BASTARD. I'M SUPPOSED TO BE A FOOLISH HUMAN, NOT A FOOLISH VAMPIRE."

"Here drink this" he tossed to me a bag with red liquid inside it. I didn't know what it was but it smelt tasty. I drank it till it was completely empty. It was the most delicious thing I had ever drank in my life. Whatever it was, it cured my burning throat.

"Thanks. What was that anyway?"

"Human blood"

It took me some time to understand what just happened.

"You just gave me….human blood."

"That is correct"

"That means I'm no longer a fledgling"

"Yes"

"I'm a full vampire"

"Yeah"

"I'm as strong as you now"

"Not at all"

"Uchiha, you plan to take my friend, Sakura, on a date"

"Yes"

"Do you plan to also turn her into a vampire?"

"No"

"So your intentions are sincere"

"No. Sakura shouldn't be turned into a vampire, not until she is of no more use."

"Until she is of no more use?"

"That's for another day"

"So basically you and your whole group are a bunch of blood sucking vampires"

"Whatever you call it. Now we need to train you."

"Why would I let you train me?"

"Because if you don't train, you'll kill everybody you ever loved. From your parents, to your friends, your whole family will be massacred…..by you."

"Why would I kill my own family?"

"The hunger. It will make you think of only one thing…..blood."

I didn't want to believe what he was saying. But if he was right, that would mean…..

"Okay, but I have some questions."

"Do you?" he said sarcastically. "I will answer all of your questions in the Ice Core"

"We're going back there? It's freezing down there"

"You're a vampire now; it will feel like a normal warm sunny day to you."

"Okay"

We all entered the elevator and it sent us back to Shikamaru's house in the Ice Core. We came out of the house and I saw Naruto, Neji, Hinata, Hanabi and Sai waiting.

"What took you so long to get here?" Neji said.

"So that's Shikamaru's girlfriend." Naruto joined.

"I am not his girlfriend"

"Shikamaru, I thought you didn't like blondes"

"No, I just don't like you"

"WHAT, BUT WHY" Shikamaru then sighed in annoyance.

"Annoying brat"

"So what's her element?" Sasuke said.

"I don't know, probably wind. That's what most blondes are."

"Give her the papers"

They gave me some kind of paper.

"Hold the paper and send chakra into it" Shikamaru said.

"What's Catra?"

"I said chakra. It's a mixture of physical and spiritual energy. Just try and think of what I said, those papers detect the smallest amount of chakra."

I concentrated really hard but nothing happened.

"Nothing happened"

"Naruto, do your thing"

"YOSH"

Naruto then walked up to me. He 'scanned' me as if looking for something. He walked up to Shikamaru and pushed him making him land on me. We were kissing. That blonde was going to die, how dare he do that to me.

"I'M GONNA KILL YOU, NAAAAAAARUUUUUUUTOOOOOOOOOO"

"When a vampire gets angry, he/she unknowingly releases some chakra."

I looked at the paper and saw it was cut in half.

"Well as you can see she's wind, now I'm gonna run for my life" he then ran in a blur. I thought I could never catch him until I realized I could also run like that. I quickly chased after him so that I can murder him.

"GET BACK HERE YOU BASTAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRDD."
