Sasuke and Miyaka sat in that little room for seemed like eternity, Miyaka laying on his chest comfortably while Sasuke held her gently, until Sasuke glanced at his clock.
"I should get you home."
Miyaka glanced at the clock as well. "It's only twelve. I've been out later."
Sasuke frowned. "Humor me?"
She lifted her head and looked at him. "Wouldn't I be safer here?"
Sasuke's frowned deepened. "Well, yeah but-"
"Then I should stay here."
"You're just trying to get out of going home," Sasuke accused.
Miyaka sighed heavily in defeat, and Sasuke felt he struck low without meaning to.
"Miyaka, I'm sorry-"
"I don't want to go home... I'm always so lonely... and afraid."
Sasuke's eyes narrowed. "What are you afraid of?"
"I-I..." she looked away.
"Miyaka. Tell me."
"Sasuke... on the few nights when you don't walk me home... there's these... these men who follow me home..."
Sasuke felt his heart clench. Sasuke knew only too well how she would feel so insecure. He remembered the night he was turned. He hadn't been expecting that when the woman followed him.
"I'm afraid that they might break in the house... and..." Miyaka buried her face into Sasuke's chest.
He simply wrapped his arms around her again and tightened his grip. "You can stay here until dawn. Then you have to go home."
She nodded into his chest, and Sasuke knew she was trying to hold back sobs and tears. So he gently pressed his cheek against her face.
"And then later today, I want you to pack everything you'd need, and then go to a realtor and-"
"NO!!" she sat up so fast and glared at him so hard he knew he had said something wrong. "I'm not gonna move out of my house!"
"Miyaka, if you don't feel safe there... is it really worth staying there?"
"Sasuke, that house was where I was born. Where my mother was born there, and so was her mother before her!" she snapped. "I will not sell it!"
He looked away. He was trying to protect her, but she was being stubborn. And she had every right to be; her house was something that she viewed as an important part of her family history, and he had no right to tell her what to do with it.
"I'm sorry. I just... worry."
Miyaka looked down at him, and her eyes were dry, while her face was damp. "I know... it's just..."
"I know. Don't worry about it."
Miyaka sighed, but laid back down. Sasuke put and arm around her and held her close. He kissed her forehead, then her eyelids, then licked away her tears.
Sasuke didn't want to hurt her, so he didn't press the issue with the house anymore.

Sasuke was still wide awake around two o'clock in the morning when Miyaka fell asleep, and dawn was only two hours away. However, with all that had happened the evening before, she needed all the sleep she could get. His eyes followed movements of shadows on the walls, so he would not be tempted to feed. His hunger was building, and Miyaka was right there while the case with the syringes was across the room. He had to keep himself under control. Miyaka was too vulnerable right now for him to take that much advantage of her.
Her head moved slightly, and her neck was suddenly exposed to him. He pulled his head back and slammed it into a pillow.
NO! just stay calm. You don't need to feed now...
"Sasuke? Are you okay?" her voice asked.
He opened his eyes and turned to her. Her eyes was focused on his mouth. He bit down and found his fangs had extended.
"I'm fine..." he gritted out.
"No you're not. You need to feed."
"I'm fine," he stated more firmly.
"Sasuke. I've been around you enough to know when you're not fine. You need to feed."
"I told you I'd stop drinking blood to protect you."
"It doesn't hurt for you to drink my blood," she sat and moved, then pushed her hair back. "Feed."
Sasuke held his breath. "Miyaka ... Don't do this."
"Feed."
Sasuke knew she would insist, so slowly he sat up and pulled he close, tilting her head and putting his mouth on her neck.
Miyaka closed her eyes, and waited for the light prick of his fangs.
It never came. Instead, light butterfly kisses were fluttering against her skin, and she gasped as Sasuke kissed his way up to her face.
"No."
His lips gently brushed hers, and his hands began moving separately; one held her gently at the back of her neck while the other gently massaged her lower back.
She moaned lightly, and Sasuke smirked into the kiss he planted on her shoulder, and moved up to her mouth again and gently pressed his lips against hers again. He licked her bottom lip gently, and she opened her mouth willingly as his tongue made it's way into her mouth.
She let him dominate for the most part, she was still too surprised he had passed up her blood.
His tongue explored her mouth, memorizing every centimeter of flesh before retreating as he pulled away, saliva dripping down both of their chins. Sasuke licked his away, then licked away hers and gently began kissing her throat, and then came to the base of her neck, which was hidden by her shirt. His hands slipped down to the hem of the garment, and began to pull it up and out of his way.
"SASUKE STOP!" she exclaimed pulling away and turning from him with her arms wrapped around herself.
Sasuke sat frozen, then realization hit him like a fully load freight train. "Oh, god... Miyaka, look at me." she stayed turned away. "Miyaka, please... just look at me..." she turned her head enough that he saw her eye. "I didn't mean to I swear... it just got out of hand-I would never hurt you like that."
"Just take me home Sasuke..."
"Miyaka ... You won't be safe until twilight. My brother is still out there. I don't want him to hurt you... or worse," he whispered.
"Just take me home," she repeated.
He surrendered. He had caused this. He might as well do what he could to ease it. So he stood and helped her up and gently held her hand as he led her down stairs and out of the church.

Miyaka had been stumbling the entire way, so Sasuke had scooped her up and held her against his chest, carrying her home.
Once the house came into sight, Sasuke disappeared in the shadows of the street and reappeared in the darkness of her windowless bedroom. For that he was grateful. Twilight was coming, and he had to move quickly.
He went back to the church, and gathered what few possessions he had, including the syringes, and went back to the house, moments before the dawn came.
He sat his stuff in a corner, and moved to the bed. He laid down beside Miyaka as she still had not stirred, and raised his arm as she rolled over onto his chest. He closed his own eyes and waited quietly for her to awake.
For he had come to her home to stay, as long as she wanted him to be there for her. No matter what, he would always, always, be there for her.

Okay. So Sasuke has made it apparent that he is willing to do anything to protect and or keep Miyaka happy.
READER: When is Sai coming in?
ME: Soon. I just need to wait until the proper moment. This might become a love square... sorta. Sasuke is in love with Miyaka, Naruto is in love with Miyaka, and Sai will just plain want to have her as his own. And Miyaka loves Sasuke. There see? A square
A/N: I repeat if this is your favorite story of mine, that if I run out ideas I will need your help.
