Chapter 10
When a Secret
is
No Longer a Secret
The sun started to set as Kakashi sat still on his desk chair staring out at the now orange sky. Held by his left hand were the student records of Uchiha Sasuke and Haruno Sakura.
'Looks like they are now aware of what possibilities could happen these coming days.' He thought as he lifted the records of both students with Sakura's record on the front.
'I wonder if they can sense my power… ' he asked himself.
'…but to think that they have hidden their power very well…even for a human who turned into vampire.'
Kakashi heard small footsteps near the room he is currently staying. Wondering as to why there could possibly be a student inside the school at this late hour, he stood from his chair and stepped out to the open door and saw a girl in a soccer uniform.
"Tenten?"
Said girl was surprised as she dropped the box of soccer balls she was carrying. Looking straight and scowled a little at the teacher who surprised her, Kakashi only scratched the back of his head and let out a slight nervous chuckle.
"Kakashi-sensei. Stop surprising people like that." Tenten said as she bent down to pick up the scattered balls across the corridor.
"Sorry Tenten. I was wondering why a student is still here since it's getting dark." Kakashi replied as he too bent down to help the girl to gather the soccer balls.
"Well, coach kinda dismissed us a little late and asked me to return the soccer balls in closet in the gym."
"I see. Well, I think I'll return it for you. You have to go home now since it's almost night time. Who knows what creatures lurk out there." Kakashi said trying to sound serious but only seemed like a joke to Tenten.
"Oh come on Kakashi-sensei! If you're trying to scare me it's not working! But anyway…thanks a lot for returning it for me sensei. I'll see you tomorrow!" Tenten said as she waved goodbe to Kakashi and ran out of the school.
Kakashi sighed as he picked up the box of soccer balls and stared at where Tenten used to be.
"I do hope you'll be careful Tenten."
True enough, night has come when Tenten came out of the school after she changed back to her uniform.
Drawing her blazer closer and holding onto the strap of her messenger bag, she walked on as she walker her way back home. It was getting darker and darker. Lucky for her, the moon was bright tonight since the streetlights were barely on.
Seeing the alleyway she used as a shortcut back home, she quickly walked in all the while keeping her bag close and staying alert in case there are gangsters around the area since it was already dark.
The cold wind swept her bangs and gave chilly runs across her spine.
'Oh god…this is all Kakashi-sensei's fault! If he didn't try to scare me a while ago then I wouldn't fell chills right now.' She thought as she scowled at the memory. Resuming her walk, she tried to calm herself down by letting out a nervous sigh.
A dark figure was seen behind her as she walked inside the alleyway. Stopping all of a sudden, she couldn't help but feel the dangerous aura behind her. She looked behind her quickly but saw nothing…it only made her more scared. Sensing the same aura once more, she quickly turned again and once more to be greeted by the silence of the alleyway. She ran out as fast as she can to get home wanting no more of the danger she's feeling.
She was one street away from her block when a dark blur appeared in front of her which made her yelp. As she looked in front her, there was nothing which made her sigh once more.
'Now I'm becoming paranoid!' she thought as she chuckled lightly only to stop when she heard a deep chuckle near her and as she looked up, she saw a man walking nearer to her.
"Looks like we hit the jackpot tonight." The man said as he grinned menacingly at Tenten who was now glaring at him.
"Back off bastard or else." Tenten said as she gritted her teeth together.
The man only laughed out loud as he smirked at Tenten.
"Did you guys hear that? This girl is threatening us." The man said and a few more laughs were heard as 3 more men walked out of the darkness. Tenten's eye widened.
'Shit. Where did they come from?'
"Ya know girlie…you shouldn't be messing with us." One man said as he chuckled once more. Tenten only glared harder.
"I said fuck off." The men only laughed at her.
"You know…all we want is a good lay…" Tenten glared.
"…and good blood." Tenten never felt as scared as she is now.
Bright white fangs came out of the mouths of the men in front of her and as she tried to run…she was surrounded.
She looked at the four vampires getting nearer to her with each step as she was about to cry out of fear. She knows she's going to fie right then and there and she could only wish that someone would miraculously save her. And when one vampire rushed towards her, a figure landed in front her kicking away the vampire.
Tenten stared wide eyed as she watched the man fighting off the 4 vampires who decided to have her as their meal. Her eyes widened more when she saw the man saving her forming long claws from both his hands and slashing on and on against the 4 vampires as he moved gracefully. Finally killing all vampires, the bodies dissolved into ashes as the wind blew them off away from their sights.
The man stood before her with his back facing her and when she was about to speak, he turned his face letting her see his blood red eyes.
'…red eyes!' she thought as she lost her voice. The man was also startled when he looked at her as he turned around fully facing her. The moon was covered by the clouds as Tenten could not say anything as she fearfully looked at the man who supposedly saved her. Little by little the moon started to illuminate it light as the man walked towards her and changing his red eyes to a color of onyx which alarmed Tenten more.
"Tenten." The man talked surprising her as she knew the voice somewhere.
"Wh-who are y-you?" she asked and the man stopped walking as the moonlight illuminated his face letting Tenten see someone she knows from school.

"Sasuke…"
"Mou…what is Sasuke-kun taking so long! All I asked him to buy is pocky, cookies and milk!!!" Sakura said as she digged through the refrigerator inside the kitchen of the mansion where all the other Daywalkers are staying.
"Sakura-hime…I think it's best to wait for Sasuke-sama patiently." Temari said as she bit onto her Snickers and leaning onto the counter as she watched Sakura being aggravated by her crave of sweets and milk.
"But I'm hungry! And there's absolutely nothing sweet inside here!" Sakura whined as she closed the refrigerator.
"Well…would you like to bite some from my Snickers?" Temari asked as she stretched out her arm with the Snickers in hand towards Sakura.
"Don't worry Temari-chan! That's yours and I know how much you love your Snickers." Sakura said as she grinned at her blonde friend.
"Although I can't help but feel worried since it doesn't take Sasuke-kun too long to buy things for me."
"I'm sure Sasuke-sama is fine. For the mean while, why don't we go check up on what Kankurou and Gaara are doing right now." Temari said as she smiled at the pink haired girl who nodded enthusiastically back at her.
"PANDAAAAAAAAAA-CHAAAAAN!!! WE'RE COMING FOR YOU!!!!"
A sudden bang of a door and a few locks was heard after she shouted.
"Sasuke…y-you…"
"What is it Tenten?" Sasuke said as he picked up the grocery bag he putted down before running to save Tenten from vampires.
"W-what…you…vampires?" Tenten didn't know what she should ask. Heck, she doesn't even know what she has to say but seeing Sasuke fight off those vampires with claws and blood red eyes just made her want to ask. Though what exactly should she ask.
Sasuke sighed as he looked at Tenten who was only gaping/staring at him. "You're not makjng any sense Tenten. Tell me what it is you want to say." He said as he started walking to a different direction and left Tenten standing there with a gaping mouth.
"W-wait! I haven't asked you anything yet!" Tenten shouted. Sasuke stopped walking and turned to her once again.
"Come with me. You have to get your wound healed." Sasuke said.
"What? Wound? I don't have a wound." Tenten said as she looked at her body only to see blood oozing down from her mid thigh.
"What the heck?! When the hell did I get this!"
"Actually, one vampire was able to claw you on the legs but since you were too afraid, you didn't notice until now." Sasuke answered. "Now follow me. A wound from a vampire should not be taken lightly. They could track you down because of it."

Tenten and Sasuke were walking in silence as they made their way towards wherever Sasuke lives. The past events that night still plagued Tenten.
'Damn it…I want to ask him but I can't. Seeing him with those red eyes made me scared!' Tenten thought not noticing that Sasuke was now looking at her.
"You know…you could just say whatever it is that is on your mind right now." Sasuke said making Tenten snap her head towards him.
"But those red eyes! You had red eyes a while ago! Or maybe I was just delusional and thought it wasn't true but no! It was glowing and it was real and you were just right in front of me!!! What the fuck was that Sasuke??!!!" she asked slightly confused and aggravated at the same time.
"And those claws!!!! I swear I saw you had claws!!! Tell me what that was about!"
"What do you think it was Tenten?" Sasuke answered with a question as he stopped walking.
"B-but you have to answer me. Not question me too." Tenten said as her brows furrowed.
"Exactly my point…what do you think it was Tenten. What do you think am I?" Sasuke faced her with a serious expression. They were both silent for a while. Sasuke was only staring at tenten as Tenten tried to think whether what she was about to say would send Sasuke laughing or admitting.
"But you'll laugh at what I'm about to say." Tenten said.
"How am I suppose to know if you won't tell? Just spit it out." Sasuke was starting to get impatient as he waited for Tenten's answer.
"Y-you're a vampire." Tenten whispered and she swore…the wind blew strongly when she said the last word.

"Sasuke…stop staring. It's uncomfortable." Tenten said as Sasuke stared down at her when she said that he was a vampire.
"I mean…you can just say that you're not and I can just forget all about it and think that it was all a nightmare an-"
"What if I am a vampire? Would you run?" Sasuke asked as he stared at the street in front of him.
"I don't know. But one thing for sure is that I can trust you. You are after all a friend." Tenten said as she smiled at him.
"We barely know each other and you consider me as a friend already?"
"Well…you did save me from those vampires so thank you. Thank you saving my life."
Sasuke sighed as he ran his hand through his hair and chuckled.
"You really amuse me tonight Tenten. As you have said…I am a vampire." Sasuke said as he face Tenten.
"I see…but then why admit it?"
"Like you said…you're my friend." Sasuke said with a slight smile which surprised Tenten.
-

-
"So….Sasuke. If you're a vampire, why aren't you biting me to my death right now?" Tenten asked as she and Sasuke walked.
"Do you remember Kakashi's latest lesson?"
"You mean the two kinds of vampires?"
"Aa."
"What about it?"
"Those vampires that attacked you were Nightingales. I, however, am a Daywalker."
"What's the difference?" Tenten asked making Sasuke raise an eyebrow at her.
"Do you even pay attention in class?"
"Hey! I do listen it's just boring at times!" Tenten defended and suddenly winced when she felt slight pain on the fresh wound that she has. Sasuke bent down on his knees and took out his hankerchief and wrapped Tenten's wounds with it.
"Thanks. Though I'm starting to wonder why I'm only feeling the pain right now." Tenten said as she chuckled.
"Where are we going anyway?" Tenten asked.
"Where I live together with the other Daywalkers." Tenten suddenly stopped walking.
"Don't worry. Daywalkers don't harm humans. We live like them actually. Eating normal food, able to tolerate sunlight and such."
"But then…what's the point of being a vampire?" Sasuke sighed at Tenten's continuous questions.
"Whenever we have the urge to feed on blood, we hunt for animals rather than human. I'd say that we are more on the humans' side rather than the vampires." Sasuke answered.
"Oh…so…do you protect a human right away when a Nightingale suddenly attacks?"
"Yes because Nightingales is a race of sin."
Tenten could only wonder what Sasuke meant. Bowing her head down, she notinced the grocery bag that Sasuke is carrying.
"You went shopping?" she asked and Sasuke immediately blushed.
"Sakura asked me to buy things."
"Ehhh???? Sakura-chan? She's a vampire too?"
"Yes."
"Sugoi!!!!!"
"We're here." Tenten could only gape at the mansion before her.
"It's huge."
"Of course, it's packed with vampires." Sasuke had to drag her just get her in. As he walked in with Tenten he was greeted by Kankurou and Temari who was looking at him as if he was the greatest hero on earth.
With an eyebrow raised as if questioning both siblings what the hell they were doing looking at him like that, Temari answered.
"Anou…Sasuke-sama. Sakura-chan is about to break Gaara's door."
"Why?"
"Apparently she wants to play with him again." KAnkurou said with a swet drop when they heard the screeching voice of Sakura.
"NEEEEEEEEE!!!!!! PANDA-CHAN!!!! COME OUT AND PLAY! SASUKE-KUN ISN'T HOME YET AND I'M BORED SO OPEN THIS DOOR!!!!!!"
"Didn't I tell you to distract her before she makes Gaara commit suicide with constant pestering?" Sasuke said as he sighed exasperately.
"Eh heh heh! It suddenly slipped my mind Sasuke-sama." Temari said. Tenten could only cover her ears from hearing Sakura's screech.
"Sakura. Tadaima." Sasuke said a little loud knowing that Sakura has keen hearing and when he said those words, a blur of pink came rushing to him as he caught Sakura into his arms with her legs wrapped around his waist and arms around his neck. Temari and Kankurou could only watch as another sweat drop grew onto their heads.
"Sasuke-kun!!! Welcome back home!! NE! Did you buy everything I asked?" Sakura said as she grinned eagerly at Sasuke who was currently enjoying the attention he is getting from the pink haired girl.
"Aa. They're in the grocery bag."
"Hooray!!!!!!!" she cheered and was about to kiss Sasuke when familiar Chinese buns caught her eyes.
"Ehhh???? Tenten-chan?" she saidas she looked at Tenten all the while still stuck onto Sasuke who was ready to receive that mind blowing kiss and ended up being disappointed.
"Hey there Sakura-chan." Tenten waved timidly and when Sakura looked at Tenten's legs and was surprised to see Sasuke's hankerchief wrapped around it with blood staining it she started pulling Sasuke's ears.
"OI! Sasuke-kun! What the hell did you do to Tenten-chan? She's bleeding!!!!" and she immediately unlatched herself from himand quickly pulled Tenten towards the living room leaving Sasuke rubbing his ears with Temari and Kankurou.
"Sakura-hime can be so weird."

"Anou…Sakura-chan. Sasuke actually saved me from vampires and told me to come with him here to get my wound healed." Sakura was surprised when she heard Tenten say things about vampires.
"She knows what we really are Sakura so no need to worry. I'm sure that Tenten can keep a secret." Sasuke said as he walked into the living room where Sakura and Tenten were.
Sakura has already untied the hankerchief from Tenten's thigh and asked Temari and Kankurou to fetch some water and medicine for her.
"So this wound was caused by a vampire?"
"Apparently it is." Sasuke replied.
"Sakura-hime…here is the water and medicine you asked us for." Temari said as she and Kankurou came back with a basin of water and two cloths with a box of medicine.
"We need garlic as well." Sakura said as she started cleansing Tenten's wounds. The wounds were 4 long claw marks that were quite deep but nothing too serious.
"Hai."
"Uhh…Sakura-chan, if you don't mind me asking, why are you going to use garlic?"
"Nightingales is your typical vampire Tenten. With this wound, they can track you down, but by rubbing the juice of garlic on it, it can make the Nightingales stay away until it heals. Once it heals, they will lose track of you." Sakura answered as she squeezed the garlic in a smaller container and dabbed a cotton ball and applying it to Tenten's wounds.
"It'll be painful for a little while but it'll subside soon." Sakura said with a smile.

"Sorry 'kaa-san if I didn't call right away. Hai. Apparently my friend doesn't have a companion for tonight so she asked me to accompany her since she's afraid for being alone. Hai. She said she'll lend me some clothes. You too 'kaa-san. Goodnight." Tenten put down the phone as she smiled at Sakura.
"Well looks like I'll be staying for tonight." Tenten said.
"Yeah!!!! Now let's go to my room and I'll lend you some clothes so we could wash and dry your uniform right away!" Sakura said as she dragged Tenten upstairs passing by a lot of rooms.
"Is it true that this place is packed with vampires?" Tenten asked as she and Sakura walked up to another staircase and into the top floor of the mansion.
"Hai! But everyone's really nice and we don't harm humans so you don't have to worry. Besides, I'm sure they'll back off knowing that you're both Sasuke-kun andmy friend" Sakura said as she entered a room with double doors. Tenten was surprised to see Sasuke on the bed reading a book.
"Eh? Sasuke?" Sakura only grinned as Sasuke looked at them with a raised eyebrow.
"We share a room. Sasuke-kun is my mate and of course lover, obviously." Sakura grinned as she led Tenten into another door which was actually a walk in closet.
"Now let's see, I'm sure you don't like night gowns unless you do want to wear them. Do you?" Sakura asked as she looked at Tenten who was shaking her head vigorously causing Sakura to laugh.
"Okay, okay." She said as she handed Tenten with white PJ's with a pattern of the head of a black cat on it.
"Heh heh! I like OJ's with cat designs." Sakura said as she grinned.
"Anou…Sakura-chan.."
"Is something wrong?" Sakura asked.
"Eto…what about…underwear?" Tenten asked whispering the last part since Sasuke was only outside.
"Oh!" Don't worry! I have a lot of those that was recently bought and still unused so I'll let you have two for tonight and tomorrow in school." Sakura said as she digged through a drawer and inding a box filled with underwears with cute designs on them.
"Here you go!"
"Thanks a lot Sakura-chan." Tenten said.
"No need for that. Now come on, I'll lead you to the spare room. It's only right across from mine so you don't have to worry. There's a bathroom there so you can use it. It's already equipped with towels and other necessities." Sakura said as she opened another room across from both her's and Sasuke's room.
"So take off your clothes right away when you get inside the bathroom and hand it out to me so I can take them to the maid to wash it for you. You'll have it by tomorrow."
"By the way Tenten…"
"Yes Sakura-chan?"
"Promise you won't tell anyone else about this whole vampire thing?"
Tenten was surprised to see Sakura with a serious face. She walked towards Sakura and hugged her surprising the pink haired girl.
"Don't worry Sakura-chan…I promise I'll keep it a secret. If it means that it'll keep you safe, then you can trust me." And this caused Sakura to smile knowing that she now has friend that she can rely on.
"Arigatou…Tenten-chan."
"So…is Tenten tucked in?" Sasuke asked as Sakura came back inside their room.
"You make it sound like she's a child Sasuke-kun but yes, she is now preparing herself to sleep." Sakura replied as she changed into a night gown that only reached right above her knees. Taking her place beside Sasuke, Sasuke put down the book that he was reading.
"So…I haven't received my kiss yet when I bought your sweets for you." Sasuke said as he wrapped his arms around Sakura's waist and nuzzling her neck causing her to giggle.
"Mou Sasuke-kun. That tickles!"
"Aa…but you like it." Sasuke purred as he started nibbling Sakura's earlobe causing her to moan softly.
"Sasuke-kun…" Sasuke started kissing her neck and lifted himself off from his side and slightly pushed Sakura down to lie completely on the bed with him straddling her.
"So hime…you got your sweets and now I want mine." Sasuke said smirking at Sakura.
"Eh? But Sasuke-kun…you hate sweets."
"Aa…but I don't hate you in fact…" he kissed Sakura's neck down to her shoulders trailing wet kisses as he proceeded to suck onto the area above Sakura's left breast. Sakura moaned as Sasuke kissed her raking her fingers through Sasuke's raven locks.
"…I'm addicted to you."
