Chapter 10

Ugh…

Sakura groaned, twisting her head slightly. It hurt, but she didn't know why. 'Did I hit it coming home? Ahh, and why is my bed so cold? And-And stiff? Wh-Where's my mattress?'

"…Sakura? Are you awake?" she heard someone say; it sounded familiar.

Sakura twitched, placing a hand down on her bed, immediately flicking it off afterwards. "So… cold…" she mumbled, still half-asleep.

The other person chuckled. "Yeah… you get used to it after a while."

"Used to… what?" she mumbled, blinking an eye open. The ceiling was black; it looked like it was made out of metal. Sakura turned her head, seeing Ino on the ground sitting, staring back.

Wait… what?

"INO!!!!!!" Sakura yelled, jumping off her bed to crush her best friend in a hug. "God, I've missed you so much!"

"I've missed you too Sakura," Ino replied, hugging her tightly before letting go. "Just not… like this."

"Huh, what do you mean?" Sakura replied, scooting back. It was then she noticed this wasn't her room. Or any room she recognized. "Hey, where are we?" Sakura asked, looking around.

"You really don't know, huh?" Ino mumbled, causing Sakura to stare at her. "We're in the undergrounds quarters… of the vampire society."

Sakura heard her breath hitch. "… What?" she hissed out, now feeling conscience of everything around her. It was then that she really looked at Ino and herself. Not to mention the room.

The room was basically a jail cell-literally. All they had in there was a metal bed and nothing else. The room was barren-and cold. The fourth wall was the only was the only way out, but it had bars, like a jail cell. Then Sakura looked at Ino. Her clothes were rags, her shirt barely covering her breasts, her shorts now short shorts. They were brown, covered with dirt that Sakura has no idea how it could have gotten there. Everything looked metal; where was the dirt?

Ino also had chains around her wrists and ankles, which were attached to the wall opposite the opening. Sakura also noticed that she had chains, attached to the same place Ino's were. She was still wearing the same clothes she had earlier, but feared that was all she was getting.

"Is this where we live?" Sakura mumbled, feeling as if the weight of the metal was already crushing her.

Ino sighed. "Yeah, this is it. Sasuke will take us out once a day to go to the bathroom, and once every three days for our shower, unless we're being punished. Someone will bring a tray of food to us."

Sakura stared at her, finding a loss for words. This place seemed like a living hell; she didn't understand how Ino had survived this long! "But," Ino sighed, continuing. "on the upside, at least I have someone to talk to. I just wish it wasn't you."

"I didn't intend on getting caught, you know!" Sakura retorted before flinching, clenching her head slightly.

"Is your wound alright?" Ino asked worried, forgetting about the fight that might have happened. "Kabuto said you'd be fine."

"Kabuto? …Who's that?" Sakura asked, one eye squinting as she stared at Ino.

"Kabuto is the vampire medic. If we slaves get seriously hurt, we go to him to fix us up."

Sakura's throat clenched. "You mean he…" she breathed quietly, her other hand grabbing at her neck.

Ino soon got the message. "No no!" she said quickly, waving her arms back and forth, the chains rattling with the action. "Not by drinking our blood; he actually was a doctor."

"Oh," Sakura said, releasing her neck and head. She looked down at the ground, fiddling with the cuffs. "Has Sasuke ever…" She couldn't finish; it was too horrible to imagine.

It seemed like an eternity before Ino answered. "Yes…" she said sadly. "He has, and you'll probably be soon."

"Me?" Sakura squeaked, staring at Ino now as she nodded her head. The two's conversation was interrupted by a pair of feet coming down the hall. Ino froze, seeming to recognize the sound.

"Speak of the devil…" she mumbled, staring at the wall where their chains were attached at. Sakura stared at the bars, having a sinking feeling she knew who it was. Her fears were realized when Sasuke appeared in sight, grinning.

"Hello my whores," he greeted cheerfully, easily opening the door to the cell.

'He must have a key,' Sakura thought, frowning.

Sasuke walked in, clicking his tongue. Ino slowly stood up, turning to face him. "Yes Master?" she said, smiling shyly, her hands clenched in front of her.

"Let's show Sakura here what should be expected of her soon," Sasuke said, still grinning but not as cheerful. He then turned to look at her. "Stand," he commanded darkly, and the fear from his voice made Sakura quickly stagger to her feet.

She then felt her back slam against the wall, Sasuke's hand clenched around her neck. "What do you say wench?" he growled, and Sakura struggled, not knowing why she was being punished. When Sakura didn't answer quick enough, Sasuke silted his eyes, before throwing her against the wall, hearing her cry out in pain.

"I expect you to teach her all the rules, understand?!" Sasuke yelled at Ino, who quickly bowed.

"Yes, of course Master," she answered while bowing.

"Now, tell her to look," Sasuke ordered while gently lifting Ino's neck up to an angle, pressing her against the wall.

"Sakura…" Ino called, waiting until Sakura lifted her head to her. "Watch… please."

Sakura gulped, nodding her head. She knew this wasn't for her; this was for Ino. Ino's been here long enough; she doesn't need to be punished by Sasuke. "Now…" Sasuke cooed evilly, making sure Sakura had the perfect view. "this will be you soon Sakura."

And with that, Sasuke sunk his fangs into Ino's neck, Ino's face contorting in pain. Sakura could only watch in horror as Sasuke slowly drank Ino's life away, her body starting to shake from the loss of blood. Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, Sasuke pulled his fangs out, waiting longer than normal to seal the wound off. He watched Sakura's expression as she eyed Ino's blood pool thickly on her neck.

He grinned, licking at the wound, it soon healing after his tongue touched it. Ino shivered, opening her eyes as Sasuke stared in them. "You know you're my favorite whore," he whispered softly.

"I-I'm your favorite whore…" Ino repeated shakily, feeling tears in the corners of her eyes.

Sasuke snorted, seeming satisfied, as he pushed her away, enough that her body collapsed on the floor. "Ino!" Sakura yelled, crawling over to her.

"You," Sasuke commented, and Sakura looked up from beneath her bangs. "Next time, it's your turn," Sasuke said darkly before turning away, shutting the cell with a bang.

Sakura almost started crying herself. This… evil monster, evil thingthat Ino has had to put up with! Sakura couldn't stand seeing her friend in pain like that. She knew it had to be bad, but this?... This was worse than what she expected, what anyone would expect.

"Are you alright Ino?" Sakura asked once she heard her groan, staring at her dulled blonde hair as she lifted her face to Sakura.

"Yes… I'm fine. How are you? He must have scared you, and then when you hit that wall…" Ino shivered; she couldn't go on, coughing slightly.

"Don't worry Ino, we won't have to worry about him anymore," Sakura proclaimed softly, seeing Ino's confused face.

"Huh? What do you mean Sakura?" Ino asked, moving until she was in a sitting position, the two huddled close on the cold floor.

"I mean…" Sakura paused; looking around to make sure no one else was near. "Someone's gonna come save us. I know he will!"

"He? You mean someone from the outside? But… how? There's no human strong enough to take on a vampire," Ino said.

"I know, but somehow he can! He's done it before!" Sakura said, smiling. 'Naruto at least tried to save me. He'll come; I just know it!'

Ino chuckled, shaking her head. "There's no such thing Sakura. You must be making this guy up. Now, how'd you get captured?"

"I'm not making this up!" Sakura almost yelled. "I was searching for him when Sasuke found me. And right before he was about to drink my blood, Naruto came! He tried to save me, but I guess Sasuke pulled some sneaky crap and got away."

"Naruto?" Ino said, her voice showing her non-believe for him. "So that's the 'mystery guy's name? The one that'll save us from this hell-hole?"

Sakura frowned. "I'm serious Ino. This guy's different. He'll come… I know he will."

Ino sighed, tired of arguing. "Okay, whatever you say Sakura."

The two were silent, Ino leaning against the metal wall as Sakura looked down at her bare feet, already covered with soot. 'Why did he take my shoes off?'

"So," Ino said, changing the subject as she sat back up to stare at Sakura. "Let's teach you these rules. I wouldn't want you to get into anymore trouble until this 'Naruto' fellow comes to 'rescue us'." Ino laughed at the end, clearly amused with the thought.

Sakura frowned but nodded her head. Who knew what else Sasuke would do if or when she misbehaved again? "Now," Ino continued. "Basically, if you just have the word 'Master' in every sentence, you'll be good. Sasuke's one of those macho types. You know, the ones where they think women are so less superior to them than men are…"

Well, I finally finished. I wasn't sure how to end it, whether to actually explain the "rules" or not. I ended up just making it seem that Ino was continuously talking and blah blah blah. Anyways, sorry it's been a while, but I'm sorta working on an original story and I don't want to lose interest in it. Not that I'm saying I'm losing interest in this, but, hey. Hardly anyone's updating on fanfiction as it is. Lol! Anyway, of course you guys know the drill. Leave reviews & I'll try to update soon!

Also, as a warning to you guys, Part 1 will be mostly Sasuke/Sakura centered. (no, that doesn't mean I'll have smut with them, but the story will be focused around their… "relationship" I guess you can say) So, sorry, but Naruto will not be in much of it. So, say your good-buys because you will not see Naruto for a while. Just giving y'all a heads-up, in case you start wondering.
