It's True, I Crave You

Chapter 10: Research.
I skip school for two days straight. It's not a hard thing to do when you have your dad drop you off and once he pull off, I go to the internet cafe across from the school. The first day I spend the time that I'm suppose to be learning about medieval literature in my English IV class to look up myths about Vampires. There's a more information about them than I know what to do with.
They're creatures of the night that feed off of blood from the living. According to Narupedia and numerous other sites. There are websites and tv shows dedicated to the these creatures of the night. And I can't help but wonder what's the fascination with these monsters are.
On the second day, I look up Vampire Titans and there are no results regarding these creatures. No context clues, no mentions, or anything. It is as if these things don't exist. Or that people don't know they exist and they have been able to fly under the radar for this long. I type in power sources versus drainers and again it came up with no results.
So when I do decide to go to school on the third day of my research, I have a ton of information that I have missed and it's going to take me at least all night to catch up on the assignments. I tell my mother that after school I will be heading to the public library to finish up some history assignment and I need to do research on the topic before I start. But in all truth I'm only going to do more research on the creatures that have invaded and changed my life this past week.
I stay well into the evening pulling out books on anything that contains the words vampire and titans, hoping by some miracle there is an article that mentions Vampire Titans and power sources and drainers. By the time the announcement that the library is closing in a few mins, I have come up with next to nothing about these creatures and I am starting to think that they were playing a trick on me or something. But then I remember the red eyes that I've seen on both Sasuke and Naruto and know that normal humans eyes don't turn in crimson. I don't understand how there is no information about these creatures present in any of the books, fictional or nonfictional.
When I leave the library the moon is settling into the world to greet us a goodnight and I get this feeling of being watch and cold shiver runs over my body. The last time I felt that feelings was not even a week ago and the person behind it wants to kill me. I call my father to come pick me up from the library but he's so busy with patients that he can't take five mins to come pick up his daughter. My mother is on the other side of world conducting business for her company, there would be no way for her to come and get me. I sigh out before I call Ino, a sacrifice in itself, because knowing her all she's going to do is talk about how sexy Sasuke has become over his absence and that is the last thing I want to hear. But I dial her number and it rings three times before she picks up and her voice has this tone as if she's just finish having sex, out of breath and satisfied that I consider hanging up and taking my chance on walking and getting killed. I would have called a taxi or took the bus, but seeing as I am broke, that was not an option.
She tells me that she will come and pick me up in ten minutes and I hear whispers and what sounds like clothes being put on in the background and really thinks about telling her forget it.
But my discomfort of her sex life versus my life is just something I will have to deal with. I sit on the steps of the library and await her arrival, holding my injured arm close to me. I keep the makeshift sling off of my arm at all times, unless I'm sleeping and I can tell it's taking a toll on the recoverment of my arm. I haven't come up with a valid excuse as to how I could break my arm when all I've been doing is going to school and heading home. If I was part of the cheerleading team this year, I could blame it on a stunt gone wrong or in someone headed my arm in soccer would be another valid excuse.
I sigh out and throw my head back, wondering how my life has become this fucked up, before I hear rustling and I snap my neck back to across the road. I look left and then right, only to come face to face with golden eyes. I scream as if I was melting from hot lava and stumble back, hitting the concrete wall of the steps.
I know those eyes, those were the eyes that I meet when I went to go visit Sasuke that day. I quickly gather to my feet.
"Hello, Sakura."
"What do you want?" I ask and I feel the shakes in my voice as I stand terrified in my spot.
"Is that anyway to greet someone, Sakura, it's quite rude. Why are you so rude, Sakura?" he mocks me.
"What do you want?! Leave me alone. " I yell at him this time, anger lacing my tone.
"Leave you alone?" he laughs as if I just told him some inside joke. "That's...that's just not possible, my dear. You are quite essential to our plan." he tells me as if this is some common knowledge fact.
"What do you mean?" I ask, stumbling over my words and inching away from him, if I move any further away from him, I'm going to have to hurtle over the wall and land in the brushes.
"In all due time, you will know everything. As for right now, I came to give you a present. I hope you like it?" He tells me, before he walks towards the road. My eyes follow his every move and land on the pink and white volkswagen beetle that's I know is Ino's car. My eyes widen in terror and as he comes over to the the driver side. How long has she been waiting there.
My ears pick up the rolling down of her window and her voice telling me to get in the car, I'm wasting her gas just standing there. And before I know it's, she's standing in front of me, with the look of confusion and I jump back out of shock. I see the sinister smirk and cold dead eyes of Orochimaru turn red, before I see him bite in her neck and the life drain out of her eyes and I scream.
I scream so loud, I bust a few of the light bulbs from the streetlights. The street is now pitch black and all I focus on is Ino limp lifeless body as it hits the concrete in front of the library. I hear laughter and the blood in my body runs cold, because I know that laugh. It's a laugh that I would never forget because that laugh doesn't come out often.
I look up in terror, I can feel my body shaking as I make eye contact with Sasuke, who's eye seems to be fully healed. He's standing under what was once a lit streetlight. He's laughing as if this is the funnest thing he's ever seen in his life.
I hate him. I realize this now. I hate him. I never thought I would be able to hate him, but I do.
"How could you." I scream at Orochimaru as I hold Ino's head in my one good hand.
"It was quite easy, you were there, you saw." He tease me.
I'm so angry and filled with rage that the words that leave my mouth come out before I realize it.
"I'm going to kill you." I scream at him and I realize in that moment that I have never meant something as much as I meant that.
He smirks at my declaration and I let go of Ino's head and stand to my feet, and before I can make a move towards him, I am being whooshed away. Strong hands carry me away bridal style and just from the energy radiating off of my rescuer I don't need to look up to know who it is. It's the boy with the too bright smile and golden hair and I can't bother to care that I told him that I wanted nothing to do with him and for him to leave me alone. Because, my eyes are strain on the spot where Ino's lifeless body is lying and tears fall from my face.
To Be Continued.
