A/N: 48 reviews? I love you guys so much! It may be too soon to say, but if this keeps up, an awesome sequel will have to emerge! :) I plan on finishing this up by the 50th chapter. I already got the next 10 chapters thought out, I just gotta type it out and post. I usually update when I get a hold of a laptop, but I can also do it from my kindle; it's better typing it though. But in other words, I thank you guys so much! Plz keep staying with me as the story continues to unfold. More surprises are up ahead so keep a lookout for the excitement! :) Oh, something else to add, later on, I'll hold a poll to see who will end up with Sakura by the sequel. That's what i'm kind of thinking about at the moment. I never really wrote a sequel for any story that i've done so I have a lot more planning to do. But sorry for my rambling, on with the story!

OoXoO - means that it's a flashback from now on.

XXX - just a symbol meaning that it's going to the next scene.

Blah blah blah - Kaien talking while telling the story.

I don't own Naruto or Vampire Knight.

Chapter 10

OoXoO

"Pocky-kun?" A little pink haired girl said, uprooting a lily from beside her to study it closely.

"Hm?" The icy blue-eyed boy responded as he shoved another chocolate pocky stick into his mouth.

"Who do you like?" She asked, causing the mahogany haired boy to spit out his chocolatety treat with a slight blush across his cheeks.

"N-nani? What'd you mean?" He asked her.

She giggled, then jumped up letting her long pink tresses to fall softly down the small of her back. "Who do you have a crush on?"

He shook his head, then took a pocky stick from the package. "No one."

She looked down at him sadly, then plopped down beside him with tear-filled eyes. He looked up at her, and his eyes widened slightly.

"S-sakura-chan? What's wrong?" He asked her, putting the chocolatey treat back into the package.

Her bottom lip quivered as more tears streamed down her rosy cheeks. The 10-year old panicked, not knowing what to do, then awkwardly patted her back, hoping that small gesture would soothe her.

"You have to have a crush on someone. Why don't you? Is it because no one likes you back?" She asked him.

He was about to respond when he was pushed down onto the grass as she climbed on top of him, straddling his waist. "You don't have to worry, Pocky-kun! I'll like you back, if that's what's wrong! Please don't be sad, Pocky-kun!" She said, then hugged him tightly around his stomach, soaking his plain, white t-shirt.

"Sakura-chan.." He murmured, then stroked her hair in the most gentlest way he could. She looked up, and he wiped her tears away with the pad of his thumb.

"I do like someone. I just don't exactly know how to express my feelings towards her yet," He reassured her with a small smile.

She smiled, then hugged him even tighter with happiness. "Yay! So who is she?" She asked him, excitedly.

He blushed, then turned his head to the side. "It's you."

The pinkette froze, then blushed darkly, but kept her hold on him. "I like you too, Pocky-kun!" She took his last pocky stick from the package, then slipped it into her mouth with a bright smile.

Shiki smiled, then bent down, and kissed her forehead. She giggled, then unwrapped her arms from around his waist, to wrap them around his neck instead. He chuckled slightly, and hugged her back, but just not as tight.

Sakura awoke, panting heavily. She sighed, then put a hand over her damp forehead, and took a deep breath, then released it. She moved her hand away, then took in her surroundings. She realized that she wasn't in the forest anymore, but in her room instead. She blinked, blinked again, then blinked once more. She rubbed her eyes, then rose up to look out the window by her bed. The sun was rising just over the hill of trees. But something caught her attention. She noticed that her vision had gotten clearer. She took in the clouds and the birds as they floated over the rising sun. Everything was much easier to see, but it wasn't really like things weren't clear before, but everything was just more well-defined.

She shook her head, then got out bed, stretching. Then she felt something like hair rub up against the back of her knees. Confused, she looked down, and noticed that it was her hair that was tickling her. Her eyes widened at the length, but took another deep breath thinking that maybe it had grown like that over-night where somewhere in the back of her mind knew that it was another case.

She walked to her personal bathroom, then swung open the door. She staged herself in front of the sink, but made a mistake of looking herself in the mirror. Her eyes were still an emerald green, but it was a tad darker. Close to a forest green, just not quite. Her skin was more smooth, and had no pimples, scars, or bruises anywhere. She let her hand roam over her well-defined cheeks in awe. She parted her lips to lick them when she noticed two of her teeth staring sharply at her. She scrambled to lean forward closer to the mirror to get a closer look. She poked at the two fangs like they were little demons that seemed like a threat. She chewed on the inside of her cheek, then sighed.

"What the hell is going on?" She asked herself, then pinched herself to see if she was still asleep. She winced. Nope. It was real.

Then, she remembered yesterday's events. She was bitten by Rido Kuran. The one man that she was itching to kill. She slammed her clenched fist onto the sink counter, angrily. If she was bitten, and looked slightly different, then that would mean that she was a... She shook her head fervently in denial.

"No. No. I can't be a..." She murmured, then took notice of her more enhanced curves.

If she had to guess, the size of her breasts looked to be about a 36C. Hesitantly, she let her palm hover over her left breast in astonishment. She quickly put her hands on the sink counter, then took a deep breath. She wondered what else had grown overnight. She turned around to leave the bathroom when, out of her peripheral vision, she saw her butt actually move. She stopped for a second, then clenched her teeth. If things could only get worse. She thought to herself as she exited the bathroom, to go and get her uniform. She was going to talk to the Headmaster about the situation because if she didn't, then turmoil would be afoot.

"I'M A WHAT?!"

Naruto sniffed her hair while Sasuke and Kakashi was giving her weird side glances.

"Yes. Since you snuck out of the room window, and secluded yourself in the middle of the forest, Sasuke, Kaname, and Zero were not able to find you quick enough to prevent the change," Kaien answered, then pushed up his glasses.

The pinkette sighed, then swatted the blond away. "I knew it, I just didn't want to believe it."

"So what happens now? Does Sakura have to stay like this?" Naruto asked, then gestured to her body.

Kaien stood up from his desk. "I'm afraid she has no choice. There has never, in the history of Vampires, been someone turned into a vampire, then changed back into a human. If that was the case, then this school would have no purpose."

Sakura suddenly lifted a hand around her throat with a distorted expression. Her team crowded around her with worried faces, but she ignored them the best she could. Then, with a croaky voice, she managed to say without ripping their throats out, "Go away, and...please don't follow me." Then she ran out of the room to god knows where.

The rest of team seven was about to go after their pink haired teammate when Kaien appeared in front of them."Please. Just let her go. She's only protecting you. If you haven't forgotten already, she is a fledgling vampire. Right now, she needs blood, and that if she had stayed here another second, she would've turned you guys into a pile of blood," Kaien explained.

Naruto clenched his fist. "That doesn't matter! I'll let her take my blood, if that's what she wants! She's my teammate, and teammates don't leave behind their comrades! That's what makes a ninja, a ninja! Kakashi-sensei told us this:In the ninja world, those who break the rules are trash, that's true, but those who abandon their comrades are worse than trash! Well I don't want to make that same mistake! "

Kakashi smiled under his mask. Naruto...

Kaien sighed, then stepped out of the way with a small smile. Naruto smiled back, then ran out of the room. Sasuke and Kakashi followed behind.

"That kid has more fire in him than I had suspected."

Sakura's Point of View

I didn't know where I was going, I just had to get away from the school period before...before anything bad happened. As I ran down the hall, the burning in my throat kept getting stronger, and my breathing kept becoming more and more jagged. I turned a corner, but tripped over my own feet, then closed my eyes. When I had felt a pair of arms catch me, I looked up to be met with dark, lilac grey eyes. Then my eyes traveled to the smoothness of his neck, but before I could've opened my mouth to sink my fangs into that smooth neck of his, I pushed him away quickly. But before I could've ran down the hall, he pulled me back into his chest, then tilted his neck to the left.

"No.. Please..please stop.. I don't want to...hurt anyone.." I muttered as my mouth watered the sight of his neck. I could practically hear the beating of his heart from his neck. Without much more of thinking on it, I placed my right hand over the left side of his neck, and let my other hand grip his tie tightly. My eyes flashed a dark red, then I sunk my fangs into his neck.

It was enchanting. I couldn't even process my brain right. I wasn't even thinking correctly. All my mind was focused on was the sweet taste of his blood that entered my mouth. After I was satisfied, I pulled away, but a arm around my waist prevented me from pulling away any further. I looked into those same lavender colored orbs again, then blushed when seeing the lustful look in his eyes. Then they flashed a dark red. I began panicking. I didn't know what to do. I had already gotten bitten once, and that shit damaged me so bad, I couldn't even think properly. I couldn't even move. So how would I have known what his intentions were? Well, if his fangs hadn't of made an appearance along with the sudden change in his eye color, then maybe I wouldn't have been panicking as much as I was.

I tried to break away from his hold, but all of sudden he had gotten all strong. And on top of that, I couldn't use any chakra. But I kind of had an idea of why I wasn't able to use my chakra. Maybe since I was a vampire, the vampire side probably took over all of my ninja abilities causing me to be powerless. Damnit.

I was so clouded over with my thoughts, I didn't even notice that was pushed up against the wall with his tongue gliding over the side of my neck. Without my consent, I somehow allowed myself to release a low, drawn out moan. He growled deeply in response, then, before I knew it, I felt his fangs sink deeply through my skin. Since my hands weren't really imprisoned, and instead of pushing him away and running away, I pulled him closer, then let out another moan, that time with my permission.

I don't know. Maybe it was because he was really cute that I had allowed him to drink my blood. Or maybe it was because I didn't have the strength to do anything. I'd rather take the latter instead.

Once he was satisfied, he pulled away. I saw the color of his eyes fade back to his original color. Lavender. For a few moments, we just simply gazed into one another's eyes; neither of us saying a word. It wasn't awkward nor uncomfortable. I actually enjoyed peering into his orbs. I felt like I was falling. Just falling. There wasn't really no particular destination to where I was falling towards, because everything was dark. All I could recognize was me. I was just simply falling. Falling more and more for him.

But when I heard rapid footsteps coming down the hall towards where we were at, I quickly grabbed his hand, then ran down the hall towards outside. After we made it outside, I leaned up against a tree, panting slightly. I heard a slight cough from beside me, then I noticed that I was still holding his hand. I blushed, and quickly dropped it. I crossed my arms over my chest, then looked down at my uniform.

"Zero, I'm sorry... I shouldn't have taken advantage of you..I...I wasn't thinking properly...I know that you probably are-" I stopped when I had felt a pair of soft lips press against mine. My eyes widened in shock. I didn't know whether to kiss him back, or to just be upset. At that moment, I was kind of both. Shakily, I put a hand on his chest, then with the other, I clutched his tie once again, and pulled him close to me. Against my lips, he smirked. I rolled my eyes, and kissed him back.

Yeah, I know. I kissed him back. So what? I liked him, I did. But I also kind of liked Kaname too. Wouldn't you have kissed him if you were as confused as I was when one of the guys that you like kissed you? You would've kissed him back too, huh? I was just really confused. They both gave me butterflies, so what was I suppose to have done? Pushed him away, and ran? Um, no. I had feelings for him. I couldn't exactly say that I loved him, but he was worth something to me. But I also knew that I had to focus on the mission even though I was permanently a vampire. That was going to be hard considering there was two hot vampire guys there, and that I was, too, a vampire.

I pulled back slightly, and blushed. He smirked, then took my hand in his, and began walking back into the school with me in tow. After we made it to my dorm room, he kissed my forehead, and walked down the hall to his his room. I bit my lip, then grabbed his wrist, but before he could've questioned me about my sudden actions, I pulled into my room, and sat him on the bed. I sat beside him with my hands in my lap.

"So what happens now?" I asked him. He rose an eyebrow in my direction.

"What'd you mean?" He questioned back.

"I'm a vampire now. I drank your blood, and you drank mine. What happens now? I like Kaname, and you. How do we work this out? I can't have the both of you," I said lowly, my hair covering the side of my face. Note to self: Cut my hair off to a reasonable length later.

He pulled me into his chest, then wrapped an arm around my shoulders.

"We'll work something out later. Just get some rest. You'll need it for tomorrow, trust me," He told me, then kissed the top of my head, then stood up.

I stopped by grabbing his sleeve. He looked down at me. "Can stay with me? I really don't want to be alone right now," I murmured, blushing lightly. I really don't remember blushing this much in one day.

He shook his head comically, and laid down on my bed, then pulled me to lay on the other side of him with my front facing towards the window. I felt his arm snake across my stomach, and pull me into his chest. I closed my eyes, and curled up in a fetal position against him.

OoXoO

(Still) Sakura's Point of View

It was cold. My hands...they were so numb. Everytime I rubbed my fingertips together, they would begin stinging. It was snowing. Hard. Why? I didn't know. I didn't know because I was in one of those dreams again. I couldn't recall what was happening. Everything was just kind of hazy. All I could recognize was the heavy snow that kept falling around me. Then I heard crunching. It sounded like footsteps walking through the snow. I quickly stood up from my sitting position, then out came a woman. Not just any woman, my mother. It was my mom because she looked just like me, and vice versa. But in my other dream, I remembered that she had died protecting me. Back a while, when I was transforming, I saw her again. I didn't exactly know whether to be happy or sad, so I did what any other daughter would do. I smiled with happy tear-filled eyes. Since in this dream I looked to be about 5 or 6, I could only hug her leg, but that was good enough for me. Even if it was a dream, and that I was only 5 or 6 years old, I was going to protect her from any harm. I didn't want her to leave me again even though I didn't exactly know her.

She smiiled, then bent down to pick me up. I cried and cried as I clung to her neck tightly, just to be sure that she didn't fade away or anything.

"Shhh. Mommy's here. It's going to be okay. I'm not going anywhere, okay?" She whispered as she rubbed my hair, and kissed the side of my head.

Before I knew it, I was switched to another dream, but this one wasn't anything that I would've expected.

Bodies. Blood. The smell of rotten blood lingered in the night air. I couldn't even say a word. Frantically, I whipped around to see...Rido Kuran with my mother's dead body in his arms with two pronged holes in the side of her neck. At that moment, I just let out the loudest scream that I could've mustered up. With or without my consent, I had the urge to scream anyway.

Then everything began to get dark, and he and my mother began to fade away into the black aura. I tried to grab her lifeless wrist, but all I touched was the air.

Mother...

Normal Point of View

Sakura awoke, panting for the second time. She looked out the window to see the moon still high up in the sky. She groaned, then rubbed her eyes to get rid of any eye-buggers and such. Then she felt a pair of arms wrap around her waist. She looked down to her left to see Zero hugging her like his life depended on it. Fortunately, for her, they were both still clothed. She sighed in relief. That was one less thing she had to worry about.

But all that was on her mind was that dream she had just woke up from. What did it mean? What did they all mean exactly? She had seen her mother three times. Why? Did it mean that she was still alive out there somewhere? She had to get some answers. Fast.

Gently, she removed Zero's arms from around her waist, then slipped out of bed without making much movement, then headed to her bathroom to get washed up.

After she was done putting on her uniform, doing her hair, which she had cut off to her waist, she walked to the door, but looked back at the sleeping Zero. She smiled slightly, then left the room, her intent was getting her questions answered.

XXX

She walked into the office, but didn't see anyone there. She was about to turn around and go back to her dorm and wait for him to return when she saw something on his desk that caught her eye. It was a book. The same book that she had seen him flipping through the day after they had arrived, if she wasn't mistaking. She looked around to make sure that no one was in the room, then quickly got behind his desk, then began going through it as quick as she could all the while reading some of it as well.

Some of the pages were blood marked. Like he used blood as a bookmark or something. She flipped another page, but this time it smelled of fresh blood. Like her blood. She backed away from the book, but in the process, she tripped on another book, falling on her butt. She rubbed her butt, then looked at the book that she had tripped over. It read:

Vampire Guide: How to suppress a Vampire's powers

She picked it up, but quickly clutched it to her chest when she heard the door open. As silently as she could, she crawled under the desk, that just so happened to be big enough for her to fit, and sat crouched on her hands knees with the book facedown under her palm. She looked to her right to see a pair of brown shoes in front of the desk. She guessed that it was probably Kaien since he was the only one that wore brown shoes that she knew.

"Are you sure she's back, Kaien?" A gruff questioned.

"Positive! She was just transformed into a Pureblood vampire just recently. However, I have a strange feeling about her powers," Kaien replied.

Sakura furrowed her eyebrows, then her eyes widened. They couldn't possibly be talking about her, right?

"So she doesn't know about her powers as of yet?" The same voice asked.

"Not that I know of. Her powers, I just think that they could really harm someone if not used correctly," Kaien said.

"So what do you think? Should I kill her?"

"No, no, no! I was just thinking. Possibly Kaname could help her with it since she well be in the night class soon," Kaien replied.

"Hm. I guess that could work. Besides, she's beginning to look more and more like her mother."

"Yeah, haha, but let's just hope that she doesn't gain the powers that she had. She was a Pureblood vampire after all."

The pinkette gasped, but quickly covered her mouth. The room grew very quiet, which kind of scared her since she knew that if she was caught then the consequences wouldn't exactly be pleasant.

"I guess I should get going. I need to talk to Zero about something."

"Okay. I have to deal with this rat under my desk, so I'll see you later, Toga."

Right when the door opened, then closed, she crawled out, but left the book right where it was. She walked to the door without looking back, but Kaien stopped her, putting a hand on her shoulder.

"Why didn't you just tell me? I had a right to know, you know," She said.

Kaien sighed. "Your mother didn't want you to know just yet. It isn't me that's suppose to tell you. She wanted you to figure it out by yourself," He replied.

She whipped, knocking his hand off her shoulder. "I want to know everything about her. About the dreams that I have. I want to know what they all mean. I want to know everything."

Kaien nodded, then walked back over to his desk, then sat down.

"You might want to grab a chair. This story is long."

OoXoO

Your mother loved you deeply. She wanted you to have the life that of a human, and not as a vampire. In the beginning, you were a Pureblood, but something happened that changed you forever. "But before I go into all of that, there's something that you should know. Rido Kuran is your father. Your real, biological father."

Sakura's heart literally stopped for a second. "Rido...Kuran...is my...father?"

Kaien nodded. "I'm afraid so."

She took a deep breath. "Okay, fine. Keep going."

"As I was saying.."

To protect you, your mother cut off all ties of you ever being a vampire. She even went as far as to erase your memories. She knew that Rido would come after you because he wanted the power that you possessed, and still do. No one but your mother didn't exactly know of his true intentions since what he told her were always false lies. So no one knows exactly why he wants you, so we continued to believe that he's after your powers. But on with the story..

The night that things went wrong, your mother had you in her arms, and was running away from Rido's sent vampires..

Miyuiki clutched her child tightly to her chest as she ran through the tightness of the trees. Tears fell freely down her rosy cheeks as the view of her house came into her eye-sight. She briefly looked down at the bundle of pink in her arms, and squeezed her tightly, then ran inside the house. She sat her daughter down, then took the chair that was sitting by the other chairs, and pushed it up against the door knob. She could smell them. She could smell him. They were getting closer. She knew what she had to, and yet at that moment, she didn't regret a thing. She was going to sacrifice her life for her daughter's. She picked up the pinkette, ran up the stairs to her and her husband's bedroom, then closed it behind her with her foot. She opened a hatch that was located in their closet, and set the pinkette in it.

She looked her daughter in the eyes with tears falling uselessly down her rosy cheeks. She felt her mother's hand caress her cheek as the other dropped something in her hand.

"Keep this safe and with you at all times, okay Saku-chan? Also, don't come back out until daylight, okay? Can you do that for mommy?" Miyuki asked of her daughter, hoping that she would do just exactly what she told her.

Sakura nodded, but didn't say a word as more tears fell from those emerald green eyes.

"Je t'aime tellement." She pressed her pink lips against her forehead, the closed the latch, locking it afterwards.

Miyuki turned around when she heard footsteps approach the door, then, without her knowing, Rido came through the window looking exactly like how she had remembered him. Somewhere deep in her heart, she still loved him, but she knew that his intentions were anything but good. That's why she knew she had to stop him. Though she also knew that she wouldn't be able to.

Rido looked at the hired vampires that he had sent to get rid of Mikyuki, then to bring his daughter to him, then nodded. They lunged forward at her. She looked at Rido with pleading eyes, but it didn't reach his. He just smirked, and watched as she tried to fight them off, but all of her attempts of fighting them off were futile. There was just too many of them. They tore her apart. Literally. After they knew that she was officially dead, they left the house.

Rido appeared outside of the Haruno mansion, then threw the lighter that he had in his hands at the gasoline lubricated house. It lit up quickly in flames. He smirked once again, then left without a trace of him ever being there.

Sakura smelled the smoke, then pushed open the latch, then the closet itself next. First, she noticed the flames coming from under the door, then her eyes looked down to see her mother in pieces. She let out a scream, then quickly got out of her hiding place, to the window. Luckily, her parent's bedroom was only on the second floor so maybe she could at least have a chance at jumping out of the window without getting hurt as much.

She opened the window as a breeze of smoke reached her nose. She coughed, then, as quickly as she could, she clipped on the necklace her mother had given her, then jumped out of the window, and into a bush shrub.

Kaien stopped when he had noticed a tear fall coldly down her face. Rido had killed her mother. Her real mother. Her head was spinning. All that was poking at her mind was revenge. That word just prodded at her thoughts. She wanted to kill him with her hands, and with her hands only. Her fists clenched tightly. And that's exactly what she was going to do. She stood up, then bowed.

"Thank you, but I have to be alone for a while. If it will be okay, I would like to be told the rest of the story later," She left the office, shutting the door behind her.

Kaien took off his glasses, then stood up, and walked over to the window. As he looked out the window at the moon, he felt somewhat guilty. He knew that he shouldn't even have told her about Rido killing her mother. He knew what her true intentions were when she had left the room. She was going to avenge her mother by killing him. But the reason he had let her go was because he knew that someone very dear to him was going to stop her. Stop her from making a mistake that he knew she would regret afterwards.

XXX

When she had opened the door, she saw Zero leaning up against the wall across from the door. He looked up at her with those same lavender eyes that had captivated her into giving up her blood before. As she turned and walked away, he quickly walked over, and reached out, grabbing her wrist. She whipped around with tear-filled eyes, then cried into his chest as he wrapped his arms around her small form.

XXX

Yuuki walked down the hall, intent on talking to the Headmaster about Zero's attitude towards her. She had noticed that he was recently acting differently when it came to her. It was like he was being cold towards her lately. She just got tired of crying over him, so she had planned to talk to Headmaster about her situation since he was kind of the only that she could talk to about 'vampire things'.

But as she turned around the corner, she saw something that instantly brought tears to her eyes unwillingly.

XXX

After crying her eyes out for about 30 seconds, she raised her head to see him looking down at her with gentle eyes. She blushed lightly when seeing the moonlight reflect from one side of his face making his right eye twinkle from the light of the moon. He smirked, then leaned down and pressed his lips against hers, softly. She wrapped her arms around his neck while kissing him back.

XXX

Yuuki covered her mouth, then ran back the way she came, back to her dorm. The only thought that pestered her mind was: Why Zero?

A/N: As you guys just read, I tried to put in some ZeroXSakura in here, but I think it was pretty shitty. lol. So the next chapter shall be dedicated to all of you KanameXSakura fans. Sorry for taking so long on this chapter. My mom has been pretty moody with the computer lately. But anywho! There was also some ZeroXYuuki in there, well if you squinted. But it was there! Also, as the story progresses, Sakura's story will get much more clearer. I know you guys are like "What the hell is going on with the dreams and such?", so that will all be explained as the chapters go on! :) Oh, I also upted the rating on here because as I thought about the future events in this story, I noticed that some things will be really mature, so I changed the rating. (sorry to all of the kids that are reading this, lol. I'll try and not make it too much like a hentai, lol.)

I really want to thank you guys that have reviewed, favorited (?), and followed so far! You guys ROCK! Oh, don't forget to drop a little review. It doesn't have to be long. Just a little 'Great chapter!' would suffice. ^_^

P.S. Plz don't be afraid to let me know of my flaws. I love improving so shoot. Plus, if i'm moving too fast, then plz tell me also.
