Hello! I'm so sorry for the late update, I've been so busy with school and stuff -.-' Final exams are driving me crazy! But only 11 more weeks and I'm officially a senior in high school! :D Anyway, since I have more time now, I'll be able to work on my fics :) Soooo enjoy!
Sakura awoke to find herself very warm and comfortable. She knew very well why. The masculine scent was familiar to her already. She was in Sasuke's arms again. At this, she couldn't help but feel content. She slowly turned to face the sleeping vampire. She smiled as she stared at his sleeping face. Even in sleep he was beautiful. She lightly traced his jaw with her finger, causing him to hold her closer.
She squeaked at the feel of his body behind hers. She grew red with embarrassment as she felt his hot breath near her ear, sending shivers down her spine. She gulped. Whatever she was feeling was making her blush. She grew even redder at the fact that she kinda liked it. She could feel the contour of his muscles behind her. She felt a lick on her neck. Not only was she blushing, but she began to feel something warm pool between her legs. She had to get out of his grasp.
"Yeah! Go cherry! Seducing him in his sleep! Whoo-hoo!"
"Oh, be quiet! I didn't do anything!" Sakura unwrapped herself from Sasuke's iron hold somehow and ran to the door. But before she could open it, a large masculine arm stopped her from going anywhere.
"Eeep!" Sakura was pushed on the bed once more.
"Where do you think you're going love?" Sasuke was fully awake and had her caged in his arms, trapping her in an embrace. Sakura gulped and turned red at how close he was to her face. He sat her up on his lap, with his back to the head board of the bed. His arms circled her waist possessively and buried his face in her neck. The feeling of his breath on her skin made Sakura squirm in his lap, causing her to rub against him.
Sasuke held on to her tighter, smirking against her neck.
"My little cherry blossom, it's dangerous for you to move around like that on me." He began to lick her neck lightly, causing Sakura to bit her lip from making any sound. She closed her eyes tightly and close her legs tighter. He nipped at her neck, causing little beads of blood to fall out. He gladly licked them away.
"Why am I reacting like this to his touch? Usually he's so sweet and kind. Now he's-he's-"
"Smexy! He totally wants you cherry! Don't deny! You want him too!" Sakura didn't protest. She felt the strongest urge to be near him. Her heart was beginning to beat faster as he lowered his mouth down her shoulder. His arms still held her in place.
"Are you afraid Sakura?" Her eyes snapped open. No. She wasn't afraid.
"N-no." She closed her eyes again as she felt something hard beneath her thighs. She knew it was him. To Sasuke, he was in heaven. The girl he loved was in his arms, and she was as turned on as much as he was. He was drowning in her scent. A mixture of cherries and vanilla was in the air. It was her. His demon was demanding to be let out. The urge to claim her was overwhelming at this point. He had to have her.
"I have to stop this...but I-I can't..." The feel of his mouth on her neck was erotic. She had never been touched like this before. Sasuke closed his eyes and breathed in hard. He gave a very heavy sigh.
"I can't." Sakura opened her eyes. "I'm sorry Sakura. I didn't mean to disrespect you..." Sakura smiled.
"I don't feel bad at all Sasuke-kun." She turned to face him and gave him a hug. He was stunned for a moment, but smiled in content. She was finally getting used to him. He let her off his lap and smiled. "Go get dressed. I have a meeting with my father today, so I'll see you later." He kissed her forehead and smiled.
"Since you'll be out, would it be alright if I explored a bit? I mean this place is huge, and it'll give me something to do." Sasuke hesitated for a moment. He didn't like the idea of her wandering off on her own. His demon was strongly against this. Sasuke didn't like not being near her. It kinda made him uneasy when she wasn't around. But he figured she'd be in the mansion, so she'd be near.
"Fine, but don't don anything to hurt yourself alright?" Sakura smiled and gave him a hug. He took a deep breath of her scent and let her off. At least the smell of cherries would get him trough the long day.
"You were on fire this morning! I can't get over it! He was all over you! Score for cherry!"
"Could you quiet down, you're gonna give me a headache." She pulled a pink blouse on with a short white frilly skirt. She looked through her closet (mall was more like it) to find a pair of shoes. She went for a pair of white and pink shoes to go with her look.
"It's a good thing you let him know where you were going."
"Oh? And why is that?"
"You're a vampire's mate, remember?"
"Yeah, meaning...?"
"He would've gone crazy if he would've just woken up with out you there. His protective instincts would've kicked in, and he would have gone crazy looking for you."
"Right. Hey, about that, how do you know so much about all this mating stuff?"
"What do you mean?"
"Well you're me, right?"
"Right."
"So, wouldn't that make you as clueless as me about all this stuff?" Her inner sighed.
"There are somethings I can't tell you right now, but all I can say, is that you're a special person." Sakura frowned.
"What do you mean by special? I'm not some sort of weirdo am I?"
"I can't say. I really want to but I can't"
"Why?"
"I just can't, please drop it cherry. You'll know soon enough why..." Sakura sighed, there was no use in arguing with herself. She looked in the mirror at her look.
Satisfied, she walked out to go explore. She followed corridors and looked in all the rooms. She noticed that most were small study rooms that were nice and cozy with a fire place. She found where the kitchen and libraries were and even found a music room, much to her delight. Soon, she began feeling more familiar with the house. After a few hours of exploring though, she began to feel as though she was in a maze. There were so many halls, leading to other stopped when she came to a dead end.
"Cherry, where did you take us?" Sakura immidiatley regretted stopping. The hallway was creepy looking with cob webs and broken stone walls. It was as if this part of the mansion had been ignored or forgotten. It looked old. Even the walls seemed out dated with all the dirt and filth.
"Let's get out of here..."
"Agreed."
Sakura turned, only to feel a bit of wind behind her.
"A draft?" She turned to examine the end of the wall. Looking closer, she found the shape of a door. She felt around, for a sign of a key, lock, anything. She found it. It was a lock, but not one where a key could fit.
"What kinda lock is that? Its like a small bowl."
"I've seen this before..." Her mind went back to the chest in the cherry tree. "This door has the same lock as that box in the tree, but I think only some sort of liquid goes in here..." She blew off dust from around the lock, only to find words.
"More precious than gold, and as crimson as a rose. It is the source of life"
"What the heck does that mean?"
"Blood. It's a riddle, and the answer is blood"
"Blood? Ew. Why would blood be a key?"
"I don't know, but lets find out. She took a pin from her hair and pricked her finger. A bead of red blood formed at the tip. "Okay, here goes nothing..."
Sakura let the sphere of blood drip down to the lock. Immidiatley, the riddle surrounding the lock glowed a bright pink and swirled to form a cherry blossom at the center of the wall. The flower glowed bright, and made the wall disappear. Sakura was blinded by white. When her eyes adjusted, she gasped.
Before her was another hallway, but this one was different. It was pure white, with a soft pink marble flooring. She stepped in the hall, only to have the door appear behind her again, but she didn't care. The walls were white and there were large marble pillars vinned with bright pink roses. in every wall was a huge arched clear glass window, peering outside.
"This place is gorgeous! Why would anyone hide such a place?" Her inner didn't respond. "Hey, are you listening?" Still no response. Sakura shrugged it off, continuing her way down the hall.
She could see a large white door with a gold handle at the end. She picked up her pace, and reached the door. She put her hand on the knob and pushed the door open...
"Alright Sasuke, you're done for the day," his father said. Sasuke couldn't get out of the room fast enough. His instincts were on high alert of his mate. They were, until his phone rang. He recognized the ringtone.
"What is it now dobe? I'm kinda in a hurry right now."
"No Hello? Geeze teme, I thought having your mate would melt that ice heart of yours. Anyway, I'm dropping by for a visit. Make sure your mate's there." Sasuke's fist balled up. He didn't like the idea of another male wanting Sakura around, even if it was Naruto.
"Why does my female have to be present dobe? And I suggest you choose your words carefully."
"Woah,woah! I have no interest in your girl Sasuke, not when I have my Hinata. I'm actually asking you this because of her. It turns out your mate is Hinata's best friend, and she misses her. I don't like seeing Hinata-chan sad, so I told her I'd ask you if we could come for a visit. You know, so they can see each other. Besides, I'm sure your mate would be happy to see Hinata-chan."
"Hn. Alright, come over. Just don't be so loud ok dobe?"
"Hey! I am not that loud!"
"Whatever. Just don't make me eat ramen for dinner."
"Ha! You'd be lucky to eat my ramen teme! It's the best food in the world!"
"Hn, says you. Alright, let me know when your here. Later dobe." He hung up the phone and continued his search for his pink haired female.
Sakura opened the door to find a beautiful bedroom. It was decorated in the same manor as he hall way with the arched windows and the pillared walls. There was a huge canopy bed in a nice shade of pink. There were two night stands and a cherry brown dresser. This room was made for royalty. It was so beautiful.
What really caught her attention was the window right in the center. She went closer and gasped. Outside beyond the window was the hidden garden and it's large cherry tree. She smiled and let the window open. The wind blew her hair and caressed her face. She closed her eyes and Sasuke's face came to mind.
"Sasuke..." Sakura touched her lips, and traced her fingers down to her neck. She shivered as she remembered his touch. She missed it. She missed his masculine scent and the way his arms felt around her. She missed Sasuke. She had this sudden urge to be with him. She wanted him near now.
Sakura smiled and began to dance around the room. She felt the wind pick up around her again. She closed her ands around her arms and enveloped herself in her imagination. She pictured Sasuke holding her, dancing with her, leaving her kisses on her flesh. Her skin ached for his cool touch. Sakura opened her eyes.
"I want to be with him...I want to be with Sasuke." Her fingers traced the outline of her lips and she smiled. She was about to leave, to go to him, when something caught her eye. She saw it.
There on a vanity was a picture of a young woman with pale skin...green eyes...and pink hair. Sakura was shaking. How? How was there a picture of her? Suddenly, there was pain. Her head was in pain. Images, blurred images and scenes played before her. She fell on her knees holding her head.
"Cherry! Get out of here! Now!" The pain stopped.
"Inner, why is there a picture of me on that table?" Sakura was shaking.
"I told you, I can't say anything, you need to get out now Sakura!"
"Why? WHy can't you tell me? Does it have anything to do with my powers? What were those images I just saw?"
"Sakura, calm down, I promise you, you'll find out. But for now, I want you to get out of this place, and don't you dare come back here until I say its ok!"
"What's going on?" Sakura began shaking.
"Please, get out of here. Go to Sasuke." At that, Sakura's head shot up.
"Sasuke..." The feeling of wanting to be with him came once more. She stood up and balled her hands. "Do you promise you'll tell me everything? What this room is? Why I'm in that photo?"
"I won't need to tell you. But once you find out, come back here."
"Will I even want to come here again?" Her inner stayed silent. Sakura couldn't glance behind her. The picture was there, along with everything else. She would have to put that in the back of her mind for now.
She missed Sasuke right now for some reason. She had to get to him, and fast.
Sasuke was getting angry. She wasn't anywhere to be found. His demon was beginning to get restless. He was about to lose calm until he sensed her. He immidiatley turned around, only to find her running to him...with a smile on her face.
Sasuke was in front of her in a flash. She jumped in his arms and held on tight. Sasuke was taken back, but hugged her with equal force. She looked up at him. Her face was flushed and her breathing was coming out in soft pants.
Her face was millimeters away from his. He was hypnotized by her green orbs, making his hold on her waist tighter. She circled her hands around his neck. Her lips tingles with anticipation.
"Sakura..." His eyes glazed over with want. His demon demanded the feel of her lips. "I can't take it anymore!" Sasuke pulled her chin up to meet his, and his lips melted with hers. Sakura's eyes widened with surprise, but closed them after her brain registered what was going on.
The feel of her lips on his was more that Sasuke could bear. They were soft and full. He couldn't help but hold on to her with an iron grip. His hand fisted her hair to bring her closer, if that was even possible. He traced his tongue on her lower lip, causing her to open . He invaded her mouth, tasting everything. She shyly explored his, causing her knees to feel like jelly.
Her lips were addicting, and he would never get enough of her. Both had to break apart for air. He still held her in his possessive grip. The look of her out of breath with pink tinted on her cheeks and slightly swelled lips did something to him. She looked beautiful. And she was all his. Sakura put her head on his chest while he held her, breathing in her scent.
Neither one said anything. They just didn't want to leave each other's arms. He didn't want to be apart from her. Not after this. Shyly, Sakura made her way on her tippy toes and kissed him. It was quick, but it had meaning, he could feel it.
"I missed you Sasuke-kun." Sakura shyly turned the other way. Sasuke hugged her tight.
"I missed you too love." He smiled and kissed her forehead. Peace and quiet would've continued if Sasuke's phone hadn't rung and ruined the mood. "Yes dobe?"
"Hinata-chan and I are here teme! Hurry up!" Sasuke gave a sigh and turned to Sakura.
"What was that all about?" Sasuke chuckled and kissed her hand.
"You're surprise."
