Sorry for the late update people.

I'll make it up to you, I'll update at Saturday for the 8th chapter. I was concentrating on trying to change my writing style into a much better and detailed version of Sakura's narration to her story.

This is one phase of the change though.

At the 8th chapter, that's where it changes and lengthens a bit.

If you give me more reviews, I might update sooner than you expect. ^o^

Hugs and kisses.

Hisa~chan/Luci.


`Coz I can't help, falling inlove with you. `

Vampires. I thought they were just myths, fictional characters meant to scare children and make them do what you want them to do. I never thought that the 1st person I would fall inlove in, wasn't even basically a person.

But still, even though I knew what he is, even though I know that I am the most appealing meal for him to devour, my love for him haven't faded, even the slightest bit.

It irritated me, but at the same time, it made me feel relieved. It is as if God gave me my existence to love Uchiha Sasuke.

If people knew about this, they would probably conclude that I'm suicidal and crazy.

But I don't care, I'll love him as long as I breathe.


VII – Reality.

The Truth did not allow me to sleep. I was thinking of Sasuke all throughout the night, grimacing in the process and stressing myself further than necessary. As if, I could bear any more stressors now.

"Vampire," I groaned in exasperation

I looked at a piece of paper that I doodled last night trying to shake off the stress.

'La Tua Cantante – my blood sings for him' Blood to devour, power to obtain, royalty above any other vampire could possibly attain in their existence.

I got up earlier than necessary, took a long bath to freshen up myself and release the stress. I didn't know truth is much more stressing and annoying than the investigation thingy. Frustration, Annoyance, Stress, and most of all, my heart is longing to see him again.

I used lots of concealer to hide my eye bags. I applied my usual eyeliner, mascara, cheek tint and lipstick. I wore my black pants and then high cut boots, cashmere top and white trench coat.

I went to school still dazed. I noticed the weather is kinda nice today. For the first time in a few months, the sun touched my skin again. I missed its heat the most. However, after a few smiles, stress ate my sanity again. Looks as if the bath didn't help at all. Sanity betrayed me until the last second. Affected by him that even at my classes, I was not able to give attention to it, to the extent that almost every Professor I encountered asked me to go to the clinic to see if I was okay. Why you ask?

Sasuke and the others are not here.

Darn it. He has a sense of perfect timing. I have to wait for another day again. I sighed mentally, frustration, mental distress . . . and the emotions went on and on and on. Uhg!

Life. I grunted. Why do I have to suffer when I only wanted the truth and truth alone? No side effects or consolation prizes, thank you very much!

Another sleepless night and devastatingly scary dreams. Damn, Damn Double Damn.

Next day, same routine as yesterday has commenced. Same frustration, but another feeling is pleading and praying that he's at school now. Please Please! I crossed my fingers as I entered the main lobby of the school. I streamed the area with my sight and the first person I saw or noticed is Sasuke. His spiky ebony black hair and pale as white skin. Finally!! I managed to relax and marched to him as he stood there wearing a white shirt, a V-neck sweater, black pants (that I absolutely loved) with a chain at the side and some chucks. He wore headphones and closed his eyes as he listened to the music. I tapped him lightly on the arm. He opened his eyes, took off his headphones and then dazzled me with his smile.

"Why were you absent?" I asked accusingly and at the same time smiled a bit. It was so nice to see him. I felt a bit relaxed and well with him around. Love sucks. Yeah, you heard it right.

"I wasn't feeling well." He reasoned as his lips danced. I heard the music booming from his headphones. Rock?

"Really huh." I whispered to myself looking at the ground.

"Huh?" his face transformed from a smile to a confused look.

"Nothing, Nothing." I waved my arms.

He was silent as usual. We stood there for a few minutes.

"Can we talk?" I said. "After School."

"About what?"

"I'll just tell you when we get there."

He nodded, and then I nodded back and walked away.


Even at lunch, Sasuke is still the topic.

"So, did you kiss and make up already?" Temari asked.

"Excuse me?" I blinked a few times.

"You and Sasuke." Temari said as she rolled her eyes at me. It was pretty obvious, but I don't want to add their suspicions about Sasuke and I.

"Why? Were they enemies?" Karin asked as she munched on her fettuccine alfredo.

"Uhm, not really." I said. "Just a misunderstanding." Grimacing, I stole a meatball from Temari's plate and ate it, earning a glare from her.

"And mind you guys, the rumors aren't true." Temari ignored my crime.

"It wasn't." Karin said. "It's too impossible." She said in a bitter tone as she stabbed her spaghetti.

"Yeah I agree." I seconded the motion to avoid tension.

"You know, I noticed, the two of you talk much now. That's a first on Sasuke's Record."

"Huh?" I looked up.

"Sasuke doesn't talk much with anyone other than them." Shino said crossing his arms as he glanced at their side of the lunch room.

"Really?"

"Yeah." Shikamaru agreed.

I just nodded and ate my veggie salad. I sighed.

Last period at last. I was so eager of the talk we are going to have later. We have no classes at the last period due to Sir Aburame being absent. I was writing lyrics of songs to kill the last 30 minutes. I wore my earphones and turned on my iPod touch, which I just purchased last night and flooded it with music. I then opened a folder and the music flooded my attention for a while. It was my favorite song.

what would you say if i asked you not to go

to forget everyone, forget everything and start over with me

would you take my hand and never let me go

promise me you'll never let me go

I remembered our encounter at the hotel, when I asked him to stay. And he promised to, as long as its safe for me.

and the stars aren't out tonight,

but neither are we to look up at them

why does hello feel like goodbye?

these memories can't replace,

these wishes i wished and these dreams i chased

take this broken heart and make it right

Our First talk at the park, the stars are out at that night, and it was a cold night. I was thinking about him at that moment. The first talk and he asked me already to stay away from him. I smiled sadly; it is so ironic that what happened to us has a connection to my favorite song.

i feel like i lost everything when you're gone

left remembering what it's like to have you here with me

i thought you should know,

you're not making this easy

To this extent, I know that I cannot stay away from him anymore. My heart burned every second I couldn't lay my eyes on him.

i never thought i'd be the one to say

please don't, please don't leave me

Please don't, It'll kill me.

i feel like i lost everything when you're gone

left remembering what it's like to have you here with me

i thought you should know,

you're not making this easy

you're not making this easy... (easy, easy, easy...)

take my hand and never let me go,

take my hand and never let me go,

promise me...

you'll never let go

you'll never let go

you'll never let go

you'll never let go

make this last forever

Forever. I like that idea.

i feel like i lost everything when you're gone

left remembering what it's like to have you here with me

i thought you should know, you're not making this easy

you're not making this easy

you're not making this easy

you're not making this easy

you're not making this easy

you're not making this easy

so fall asleep tonight, cuz' that brings me closer to you

`Sasuke` I thought as another teardrop escaped my eyes.

I waited for him at his Ferrari. It's easy to spot his car, he has the only silver Ferrari that has that edge in it.

"What's with the talk?" He suddenly talked making me jump up. I was looking at the ground while leaning at the car . . . err . . . Ferrari.

"What? Do you hate me enough to not to talk to me?."

"Do you remember anything I said?" He cut me off. He stared at me as if I was a threat to him. Which I am because, I know his secret.

"I remember almost everything clearly."

"I thought I said that I can't stay away from you anymore?" Sasuke said exasperatingly.

"Are you planning to irritate me again? You didn't even bother to say Hi to me." I rolled my eyes.

Sasuke's lips tightened. "Hi."

I looked at him in a mad expression and then I smiled. "Okay, truce."

"Just 'hi'?"

"Err, its kind of a big deal for me."

"O—kay." He trailed off.

I was studying his face as he drove. He glanced at me with a smirk. I smirked back.

"So, where do you want to go?"

"Err, the park I guess."

"I should've known." He smirked again and then stepped on the gas pedal once more.

The park was unusually crowded today, so I decided to take us on an area with lesser people, and I chose the shrine.

"Okay. I followed you without an utter of complain." He said and didn't bother to finish the sentence.

I sighed, "This is about," I hesitated, if I told him I knew what he was, things may change, he might stay away from me for the rest of my life. "—what you are."

He winced and opened his mouth to protest, but decided to hold it back. His expression was blank, emotionless. And he looked like he wasn't going to move anymore.

I looked around; people a few meters away form us who're passing by, looked at us in a gossiping manner.

"You're impossibly fast and strong,"

I played with my top.

"Your skin is . . . pale white and ice cold. Your eyes change color, and sometimes you even speak as if you were from a different dimension. You never eat or drink anything. You don't go into the sunlight."

I saw him wince. I think he thought I haven't noticed it while we were walking to this place.

"How old are you?"

"Seventeen," his voice is somewhat pale and expressionless.

"How long have you been seventeen?"

Several breezes have passed. Seconds, milliseconds, fidgets, sighs, and stolen glances. Finally his face moved.

He grimaced. "A while."

I could not breathe properly and I hyperventilated. I glanced at him, his bangs hid his eyes but I can see his scowl.

"I know what you are." I continued, deciding that this is now or never, do or die.

"Say it, out loud, say it." He said, as he looked up, seeing that there are no more people around.

"V—Vampire." I stuttered as I looked at his eyes slowly fade from black into bloody red.

"Are you afraid?" He asked coldly.

"..No."

Minutes have passed, breezes have kissed our skin, the sun saying goodbye as its rays were leaning away from us. We didn't utter a word to each other. He actually told me the whole truth about what they were. I was a bit smug.

"I ask you the most basic question Sakura."

I listened; I was scared at his tone, wincing when he pronounced my name between his teeth.

"What do we eat?"

I winced again. "I'm not afraid of you."

"You should be."

"No."

He frowned when I spoke. He looked at me with those fierce eyes; I saw my reflection on it.

"You should see what this is. To understand this nonsense, How I looked like in the sunlight." He rigidly said. It scared me.

He stood up. He pulled me up with his frosted hands and carried me on his back, he ran so fast that I wasn't even able to see where we are going.

The trees were fading and all I could see is the blurred vision of everything.

We went uphill where there is sunlight. He put me down from his back slowly and then he took off his shirt and he faced me as the sunlight touched his delicate skin, his skin shimmered. Diamonds, thousands and thousands of diamond smithereens sparkled in his skin. It was as if he was a sculpture made of pure diamond shaped to perfection.

"It's like diamonds . . . you're beautiful." I said between breaths.

"Beautiful?" he said in an aghast laughter. "Sakura, this is the skin of a killer."

He turned to walk away, with a frown of disgust on his perfect face.

"I'm a killer." He said accusingly to himself, looking depressed and his frown deepened if that was still possible. He wasn't happy with what he is.

"I don't believe that."

"That's because you believe only the lies. The camouflage. I'm the world's most dangerous predator, Sakura. Every thing about me invites you in. My voice, my face, even my smell. As if I would need any of that, as if you could out run me, as if you could fight me off." He said in between his teeth, struggling for his serenity. "I'm designed to kill."

"I don't care."

"I've killed people before."

"It doesn't matter."

"I wanted to kill you at first. I've never wanted a human's blood so much before you came."

"I trust you."

"Don't!" He half-shouted. "Sakura are you out of your mind? Do you want to commit suicide?"

"I know you won't hurt me. You've done this before. You go to a school who're over flowing with human beings Sasuke." I raised my voice a little bit. "And no one's hurt. Don't you trust yourself?"

"How many times do I have to reiterate to you that your blood is the most appetizing thing that I have smelled ever since I realized what I have become? Sakura I have been alive for four hundred years! Your blood sings for me. As If it's tempting me to kill you." He sighed frustratingly. "And you don't care?! Sakura! Are you insane?!"

I sighed. It is true.

He climbed at tree, a few feet away from me. He calmed down a bit.

"Our family, we are diverse from the ones of our breed. We drink animal blood to satisfy us. And to avoid the thirst we meet."

He stepped on a branch and leaped gracefully to the other tree. Ninja style. Cool.

"But your scent, I'm petrified of what I could do to you. Of how I could shatter the effort and the centuries of practice to resist human blood. It's like a drug in front of a drug addict"

He smiled bitterly.

"It's as if you're my personal brand of heroine, specially made just for me."

"Heroine huh." I just laughed.

"You just heard how you are appealing to me. And yet you can laugh." He glared at me.

"How many times do I have to tell you that I trust you?" Yes I trust him. If I die, I'll have nothing to lose anyway

"How can you not be scared of me?" He said in a frustrated pleading tone. "I kill. A murderer. I end people's existence." He identified examples of killing. Like I don't know what he meant. He wanted me to understand. I can feel it. I can see it. I can hear it.

"Because I'll have nothing to lose when I die and—I," I hesitated.

"You have nothing to lose?" He frowned as he jump down the tree. "How about your friends at the orphanage whre you were from? Your friends at the university? Your bestfriend? You guardians? Me? Do you know how it will affect me when you die? Especially if I were the reason?!" He brushed his hand through his hair. "Do you know what I am afraid of except of the fact that in a split second, I could end your existence?"

"What?" I looked around the place, full of trees, moss and ferns. I smell moisture a little bit.

"I'm scared of losing you." He grimaced. "It's so ironic that I really want to drink your blood and kill you. However, I can't bear to even think about losing you."

I stared at him. "Well, don't be. I'll stay by you as long as you wanted me to."

He just smiled at me in defeated, touched my cheek and he stared at my eyes as if he could see my very own soul. He looked at me as if I was his most precious jewel that he is taking care of. He stared at me as if I was the only person who existed in his world. He looked at me as if he loved me.

"And so the lion fell inlove with the lamb."

I smirked. "What a stupid lamb."

"What a sick, masochistic lion."

"Oh so you know how to define yourself?"

"I have lived too long for my liking. How can't I?"

I laughed. "I guess, there's no turning back now?" I traced his arm with my finger.

"Yes, no more." He caressed my cheek. "You are the most important thing to me now. The most important thing to me ever."


Sorry it's a bit short, anyway.. R&R!
