Chapter 7 Nightmares

Sasuke's P.O.V.


I didn't get to tell Sakura what happened. I never got the chance. Someone else did. It was the girl Yuumi and the police who told her.

I'd never seen anyone look so dead without actually being dead. My mother wouldn't let her return to her house even after everything was cleaned up. She cleaned out one of the guest rooms in the same hall as my room. Sakura promptly locked herself in the room and refused to come out.

She was depressed. She wouldn't eat or speak. She wasn't sleeping either. I could hear her at night. She would wake up screaming night after night. She had nightmares. Bad ones from the sound of it.

Yuumi had also been invited to stay with us and being that she didn't want to leave Sakura on her own she took up my mothers offer.

After almost a week of this Yuumi was fed up. The usually shy, quiet, and sweet girl disappeared. She was replaced with a hard determined and stern person.

Yuumi marched upstairs to Sakura's room and threw the door open. The resounding crash had my mother flinching. She didn't really like it when a door was slammed. Yelling followed and only one voice was heard. There were pauses so I gathered that Sakura responded but I wasn't sure.

Finally after an hour Yuumi came back downstairs dragging a stubborn Sakura behind her.

Her hair was still slightly damp suggesting that Yuumi had forced her into the shower. She had also forced her to get dressed.

Sakura wore a pair of black skinny jeans and an oversized red shirt that hung off her shoulders showing off the thin black strap of a tank top underneath it. A pair of dark red flat sandals were on her feet.

Her hair hung in straight lengths down to her waist and bangs slightly covered her right eye. Yuumi pushed her into the chair next to the one she had previously occupied slapped a bowl down in front of Sakura and told her to eat.

They had a staring/glaring contest before she relented and picked up her spoon and ate the cereal. After she was done she looked up and gave Yuumi a look that clearly stated 'are you happy now'? The older girl just gave a hard look and Sakura got up and walked away. She picked up a bag I hadn't noticed she was carrying before and walked away.

"Mikoto-Sama, Sakura-Sama and I must go to her parents lawyer and funeral arrangements need to be done. Please excuse her rudeness".

Yuumi bowed and turned to leave but my mother called her back. "Please with the formalities Yuumi. Don't worry about it. I know she's suffering. If you need anything don't hesitate to ask me. See you later Yuumi-Chan". She bowed again and left. A minute later the door clicked as it shut.

Sakura's P.O.V.


I was having a bad day. First Yuumi drags me out of bed and then shoves me into the shower with my clothes still on then she makes me get dressed and go downstairs to eat and now I'm sitting in the office of my parents lawyer waiting for him to arrive.

We had been waiting for twenty minutes now and each tick of the damn clock got on my nerves. His much longer was he going to make me wait? He said he would be back in a minute and he still didn't show.

I was about ready to walk out of the office when the guy finally showed up carrying two boxes and a rather thick envelope.

"Sorry to make you wait Haruno-San but I discovered something else with your adoptive parents files. There is something connected with your birth parents. You weren't supposed to get this until you turned eighteen two months from now but things have changed. You get it now".

I frowned at this. What is he talking about? As far as I know my birth parents didn't have anything to give and what I did get was my mothers necklace which I always wore. My hand brushed it out of habit to make sure it was still there.

"I will now read your adopted parents Will". I stared at him blankly.

"What are you talking about"? He looked up from the paper he was looking at and glanced at me curiously. "You parents came to me after you moved from Suna and had me draw this up".

"In short they leave everything to you as neither of them have any living family. They also give you the things from your birth parents you would have received when you were eighteen".

It took three hours to go over the Will sign the official documents stating this had all been done. Then he slid the smaller of the two boxes over to me. I decided to open it later and he opened the bigger box.

Inside was an old journal wrapped with what looked like an oil cloth that was very dirty. The journal was thick and looked like it should belong in a museum. An old painting was also in the box. It was wrapped in yellowed paper so I couldn't see exactly what it was.

I thanked him for his help as Yuumi and I left. She took the box from me so I could hold the heavy journal and the painting. We put them in the car and she drove to the next stop on her list. The funeral home where my birth parents were buried as well as other people going back for three hundred years or so.

The sun was setting by the time we left. Making arrangements had been difficult. We had to get in contact with the police and make sure they were done with the investigation. After that things went smoothly. The funeral was set for a week from Saturday.

Finally we returned to Sasuke's... No my home. Mikoto had moved me here after what had happened. She had also given me use of her car until I could get a new one as mine had been totaled.

When we stepped through the door we were immediately surrounded. Hinata, Tenten, and Ino had each attempted to hug me at the same time. It was rather awkward considering the things I was holding.

They moved me to the living room and we set my stuff down on the low table. Yuumi immediately excused herself and retired to her room. Despite the girls plea for her to stay.

Ino immediately jumped to the box and the covered journal as well as the covered painting. "Come on Sakura! Show us what it is"! I sighed. I hadn't known her very long but even I know well enough to know that she won't stop until she gets her way.

"Alright fine". I sat down by the table and pulled the painting towards me. I carefully slid my finger under the edge of the paper and pulled it off. Flipping it over I dropped it in surprise.

Hinata caught it before it hit the floor. It was a painting of me and at the same time it wasn't. The girl in the picture was slightly younger.

Her hair was softly curled and a small crown was nestled into the curls. It was inlaid with diamonds, emeralds, and sapphires. A lock of her curled hair fell over one shoulder slightly covering the deep blue of the dress she wore.

Familiar green eyes stared back at me a soft smile on her face. Then I noticed something. She was holding a journal. One that looked exactly like the one I had gotten today. I would have thought it was me if I hadn't noticed the date in the corner of the portrait. It read in elegant script 1710. I couldn't make out the name clearly but it looked like it said Sai.

"Oh my gosh"! Ino gasped. "Where did you get this? I remember this! I was there the day it was painted"! Ino had a hand over her mouth. She gently took the painting from Hinata and vanished.

Curiosity got the better of me and I pulled the journal towards me. Pulling off the cloth I stared at it. The clasp came undone easily and I opened it to a random page and glanced it before closing it with a sigh. I couldn't read it. The journal was written in Latin. Figures.

Sasuke appeared with Ino and Mikoto behind her. He knelt in front of me briefly glancing at the book on the table. He took my hand and pulled me up and into his arms. I felt him gesturing behind my back but I didn't care. He pulled me from the room and up the stairs to his room faster than I could blink.

He sat us down in the center of his bed and rubbed my back. The tears that I hadn't been able to cry in a week finally came. The streamed down my face soaking his shirt but he didn't seem to care. He just held me rocking back and forth while stroking my hair.

Several hours later long after I had stopped crying I looked up from his chest and into his eyes. They were red which meant he was hungry. How long had it been since he fed?

"Sasuke"? I placed my hand on his cheek my fingers rest right by his eyes. His hmm rumbled in his chest. "How long"? He seemed to get the question but he just grunted again.

I pressed his face to my neck as I pulled him closer. My hand coming up to rest on the back of his head threading my fingers through his dark silky hair. His hands tightened on my waist as his tongue snaked out and licked my neck. His fangs sunk in leaving me with a tingling feeling.

One of Sasuke's hand moved from my waist up into my hair and fisting it. Tugging my head to an angle for better access.

Eventually he released my hair and pulled back. I was feeling a little light headed now and his dark eyes showed concern. "Are you alright Sakura"? I weakly nodded my head and he laid me down on the pillows. He got up from the bed but I was too tired to really notice.

I fiddled with my bigger shirt and managed to pull it off. My jeans were another story. Skinny jeans just don't come off as easily. I was getting frustrated when another pair of hands pushed mine away.

Sasuke helped me out of my jeans and then into a pair of my shorts. Then I rolled under the blankets and curled up on my side. I was so tired. By the time he slipped under the blankets I was almost asleep. He pulled me closer and wrapped his arm around my waist as I settled my head against his chest. I was asleep a minute later

I opened my eyes to the familiar clearing. The smell of the cherry blossom trees hung in the air filling it with its delicately sweet scent. A few petals drifted down settling in random places around me.

I stood up and glanced around. Sasuke was sitting next to the spot I'd been occupying a second ago. His hands were behind his head and he was watching me.

Sasuke had been with me every time I'd come here during the past week. He would talk sometimes but mostly I would wander around before I would come back and fall asleep. Then the nightmares would happen. It was a re occurrence. I would always stumble around my house calling for my parents. Each time it was a different scene. Someone was holding them hostage and they would make me watch as they killed them.

Other times I would find them already dead and the shadow person standing over them laughing hysterically. What scared me the most was when they got up and blamed me for their death and for not being there sooner. Then I would wake up alone in my room and wish someone was there to tell me if was okay.

Tonight things were different. Sasuke looked like he had something he wanted to share with me. He was just waiting for something.

"What's wrong"? He sighed and ran his hand through his hair. It was so familiar to me that I almost laughed. Such a typical Sasuke gesture. I'd seen him do it countless times before when ever he had something to say.

"Tonight you got a journal. It belongs to you. It was one you kept during and before I met you for the first time. Though I imagined you probably can't read it as in this life you don't speak Latin". I nodded.

"That's what I thought. Well everyone will help you. Especially me. I know the most Latin. Though I believe you were more fluent then I was". I nodded again and his face turned more serious. "There's a part that's not in the journal that you need to know. It's not in there. This is one of my memories. It's my last one of you".

FLASHBACK OF MEMORY!

He stood up again and pulled me forward. The familiar tugging took hold and I found myself in an unfamiliar room

I was standing behind Sasuke but I wasn't really there. I was having an out of body experience. It was really strange. I was see through and floating.

The Sasuke in front of me spotted something and I realized it was Tsunade. He was speaking now and I turned my attention to his conversation.

"Where is she Tsunade"? He seemed desperate to find something or someone. His clothes were slightly stained with blood and torn in a few places.

Tsunade picked up the skirts of her teal dress and turned away calling over her shoulder for Sasuke to follow. Even though they were going at a fast speed I had no trouble keeping up.

It was then that I noticed the Sasuke whir brought me here wasn't with me anymore. We raced through the corridors and halls until we came to a room Tsunade and Sasuke both tensed up as she opened the door.

A feeling of absolute dread came over me and a heavy scent wafted out of the room. It was blood. The room was drenched in the scent. My eyes immediately zoomed in on a cloaked figure standing over a fallen figure. Something white was peeking from the corner of where they were standing. The figure turned and glanced behind them. Ruby eyes glistening beneath the hood covering his face and shielding him from view.

A maniacal crazed laugh escaped the person and if I hadn't known Sasuke was standing behind me I could have sworn he was looking at me. He vanished shortly after and his laughter faded shortly after.

I turned my attention to the figure on the floor. I reaped back in shock. It was me, or rather the me of the past. She was so pale. Her life's blood pooled around her coming from the wound on her chest. A katana stuck in the middle.

She was whiter then the snow that fluttered through the open window and landed on the carpet. Her eyes were closed and I though she was dead. A small gasp was sucked in behind me. Tsunade's hand was over her mouth tears gathering in her amber eyes.

Sasuke walked over to her side and dropped to his knees. Her eyes slowly fluttered open and she called out to Sasuke. Her voice was faint and weak. Sounding like mine.

"Sas-s-suke-k-Kun". She coughed a bit and blood came up spilling out of her mouth and trickling down the side of her mouth staining what little pink was still visible of her hair. It was now dark red.

He picked up her hand and I could only imagine how cold it was. I didn't know for sure as I couldn't touch anything here.

The door was thrown open again and many people rushed in. Mikoto, Fugaku, Itachi, and Naomi were standing in front. Ino, Neji, Shikamaru, Tenten, Hinata, and Naruto stood behind them.

Sasuke turned to Mikoto and addressed her. "Mother", he shouted. Desperation in his voice. "Is there anything you can do"? A tear slid down her cheek as she shook her head.

The me on the floor spoke again. "Sa-Su- u-ke-K-Kun, n-no ti..me. Li-listen to me". Another cough interrupted her as even more blood came out. After a moment she managed to gain her voice again.

"I-I w-wa-want you t-to kn-ow th-at... I-I-I lo-ve y-you. Th-is is-n't the end. I will fi-nd yo-u ag-ain, pl-please wait f-for me-e".

Her breathing was so shallow now coming out in quick pants. Tsunade walked forward and gently tugged the katana from her chest and tossed it aside. It clattered on the floor some distance away.

Sasuke lifted her up and held her on his lap. A faint smile graced her stained lips as she tired to raise a shaky hand up to his cheek. He pressed her hand closer to his cheek ignoring the blood on her hands even though it smeared on his face now.

She coughed again and more blood came out of her mouth and this time it came out of her chest too. Permanently staining her once white dress.

Her hand weakly tugged his head down into a final kiss. I touched my mouth feeling the tingle. He pulled back after a few seconds and I felt that he was going to say something important.

"Sakura, I have to tell you, something good. I love you too, so you need to stay with me. I need you, so don't leave me alone. Please don't leave me alone". I felt my heart break at the hurt and desperation in his voice. A tear slipped from the corner of his eyes and her hand moved to brush it away.

A frown graced her features as she brushed away more tears but it was useless they kept falling. Sasuke was crying. I felt a tear fall down my own cheek and I quickly brushed it away. "Do-on't cr-y, I-I will see you a-aga-in. I'm no-ot afr- aid to-o di-e. jus-t wa-it fo-or me".

With those final words her chest heaved again and her heart stopped. I didn't need good hearing to know her heart faltered and stopped. Her eyes went from the bright jade green to dull and lifeless. The light was gone from them as life left her. Her hand fell from his face and landed on the floor below her.

Sasuke buried his face near where her heart was as he was wracked with silent cries, uncaring if anyone saw him cry. He shook with his silent cries.

Behind us the loud cries of everyone filled the short silence. The girls cries were loud. Hinata's usually quite demeanor was gone and her sobs were loud. Naruto gathered her in his arms and she pressed her face against his chest.

I couldn't take my eyes off the scene before me. Sasuke still had his face against her chest. Time passed slowly. It could have been a year and I wouldn't have no the difference.

Finally Sasuke stood up bringing her with him. Her head fell back and her arm dangled at her side. He approached his mother and she turned to him tears still leaking from her eyes. "Please take care of her mother", and with that he handed her well me over to his mother and left.

END OF MEMORY FLASHBACK!

I was tugged back to the tree. Sasuke was waiting for me. I sank down to my knees. Replaying the scene in my head. He sat beside me and I looked at him. "What all happened that night"?

He took a deep breath and spoke. "That night we were ambushed. Some of the vampires felt that I should not have married the young princess of the humans. Some one gathered them together. The only thing I know is that he wore a cape and had red eyes. A trait that is common among my family".

"We got separated from the main group of guards and were out numbered Sakura came up with a sure fire plan and it worked. For the most part. I didn't want her to fight with us because she'd only been a vampire for three months and wasn't at a full vampire strength yet".

Another deep breath and he continued. "She was separated from us and so was the caped guy. It took to long to deal with the invaders and locate you. Tsunade found you. She said you told her to get help. You were apparently fighting their leader off and you were no match for him. I never found out who did it either. Only you know. Somewhere in your memories is the identity of him".

Sasuke embraced me then and I was startled. I called out to him. "Just let me hold you for a while, just for a while". I didn't ask any more questions or say anything at all. I just stayed within the familiar circle of his arms.

Eventually he started to disappear and I was alarmed. "Sasuke"?! He gave me that smile that crossed with a smirk. "Don't worry Sakura. My time here is up. I won't see you again. Since I've done everything I was supposed to in helping with your memories. It's time for me to go and you to wake up".

He disappeared completely and the clearing that I'd become so familiar with shattered. I was left suspended in the darkness but something was calling me back.

I blinked my eyes and opened them to the darkness of Sasuke's room. The curtains were still drawn and I glanced at the clock it was almost three in the morning. Something stirred to my left.

Instead of me waking up on him Sasuke was snuggled up to me. His head on my chest and his hair tickled my chin slightly.

I shifted slightly until I was out from under him now his head was on the pillow. His arms tightened around my waist before loosening. I managed to slip out of bed without him waking up.

I crept to the door and opened it before slipping out. I made my way downstairs back to the living room. Following the sound of voices. The girls were still up. Good because we had a lot of work to do if I was going to translate the journal.

They looked up as I entered and no one seemed really surprised that I was up. Ino hopped up from the floor and came over to me wrapping her arm around my shoulders.

"Hey Sakura I'm glad your up. I have something to show you. Mikoto found it not to long ago". A medium sized dark green velvet covered box sat beside the journal. It wasn't very tall but it was long.

She sat me down in the spot I'd occupied earlier and pushed the velvet box towards me along with a small golden key. I noticed the small key hole and I picked up the key and stuck it in and turned it.

The box opened with a small click. Red satin lined the inside of the box making a cushion for the object that sat inside. It was the tiara that the girl had been wearing in the portrait. A smaller box was set in the middle of the small crown and I knew it was the necklace from the painting as well.

Ino dropped her hand on my shoulder. "These are your things Sakura. You were the last princess so they rightfully belong to you".

"You died without leaving an heir to the throne so the rule fell to the people. They were at a loss for a long time but eventually they found a way to guide themselves. There's been no king or queen in Konoha for three hundred years. At least not for humans. Mikoto and Fugaku still rule the vampires".

"You guys know Latin right"? I asked changing the subject abruptly. They looked at me suddenly. Or rather behind me. I turned my head. Leaning in the door way against the frame was Sasuke. Wearing nothing but a pair of black pajama pants. His arms were crossed over his bare chest. One dark eyebrow was raised.

I looked at him and raised an eyebrow of my own. "What"? He vanished and soon I found myself in his arms and standing with him in the same spot he'd been in before. He used one had and waved to the girls.

"Goodnight Sakura-Chan"! They all called out to me as they waved. "Your not going to help me"? They looked at each other then back at me laughing. "No way. We don't have a hope of wining a tug of war with Sasuke". He tossed me over his shoulder and walked out of the room and up the stairs back to his room.

I spent the rest of the night talking to Sasuke about things and my dream/vision. He filled in the blanks that I didn't know and I told him about the first memory I had a week ago. This seemed to surprise him greatly and he cursed. Apparently he knew who I was referring to. When I asked him he said one thing. "Madara".
