Sakura: Sasuke, don't you remember…?

Sasuke: Sakura, I didn't…drink from you?

Sakura puts hand on neck: Um, yeah. You kinda…did.

Sasuke notices Sakura's hand: Only in the neck?

Sakura nods

Sasuke: Well, at least you won't convert. But…

Sakura: But what?

Sakura: …Because I took your blood, that means we'll always be connected to each other's thoughts and emotions.

Sakura: …Why?

Sasuke: That's what happens when you take someone's blood but don't convert them.

Sakura: How do you know so much about it?

Sasuke: …Vampire instinct.

Sakura: And you didn't believe you were a vampire.

Sasuke shrugs

Sakura: So…how come you…don't remember what happened?

Sasuke: I have, sort of like, an alter ego now. I call him Demon Me, and he's the one you see when I transform. When he takes over, I don't remember anything he does with my body afterward.

Sakura: Sasuke, I'm sorry all this is happening to you…

Sasuke: ….

(The sun rises higher over the horizon, casting bright light on Sakura and Sasuke.)

Sasuke wince: Argh!

Sakura: What? What's wrong?

Sasuke in pain: The light…I have to …get away…

(He leaps up into a nearby tree, where the leaves and branches provide shade.)

Sakura: Sasuke can't handle daylight…

(Sasuke disappears.)

Sakura: He must have moved to a different tree.

(Naruto wakes up.)

Naruto: Huh? What happened? Where's Sasuke?

Sakura: He…left.

Naruto: Oh. Did he bite you?

Sakura: …No.

Naruto: Oh, well that's good.

Sakura: Yeah…

(Sakura feels a wave of tiredness wash over her. She yawns unintentionally.)

Naruto: Sakura, are you tired?

Sakura thinking: It must the bond between me and Sasuke.

Sakura: Nah, I'm fine.

Naruto: Shrugs.
