Awoke
Warning: Epically bloody scene ahead! Flashback attack!
Suigetsu: *screams like a little girl and runs away*
Sasuke looked up towards the sky as he ran. The sun was already setting and he guessed he had about thirty minutes to get home. How could he have been so stupid? As soon as that sun sets he's basically food on legs. Luckily he didn't have much farther to go.
He made it inside the compound and slowed down. Vampires didn't enter the Uchiha compound. It was the equivalent of a graveyard. One foot on the ground here, was one foot in the grave. That was why even at night here, people would without fear room around as long as they remained inside the compound.
He'd expected to see a few people wondering around as usual, but it seemed…empty. The sun had set now and he looked around anxiously. There were no lights, no people. It was like a ghost town, dark and empty. Fear set in and he shivered feeling as the cold night took over for the warm day. Something wasn't right.
The impeccable feeling of being watched settled in and he looked around in every direction. Nothing, not even the smallest sound of a cricket invaded the night's silence. That wasn't a good sign. He broke out running again, he needed to get home, he'd be safe there. Safe with his Mother and Father. A stench began to rise in the air, turning the corner he realized what it was.
His eyes widened and he felt the sudden urge to lurch. There in the street, people whom he recognized. He knew them from somewhere; if he'd never spoken to them he at least knew they were all members of his family. They were dead.
Blood was spread in every direction. Splattered against houses, puddles in the street. Some of his family was covered in it. Some of them were torn to pieces beyond recognition. His eyes closed in an attempt to block out the sight. This was a dream, when he opened them, the sight would be gone.
His eyes opened to reveal the same scene. Blood. He shook his head and began running again past every body trying to avoid stepping in the many pools of blood. He ran straight to his house passing by a couple building that were burning to the ground lit aflame as if they were a giant bonfire. The door to his home was missing, broken down he entered and looked around, it was quiet and dark here as well.
The living room was empty, the kitchen was empty, the dinning room…empty. He glanced around, paranoia rising even higher. He still felt as if he was being watched. He ran towards his Father's study. It was the only place left. He'd been right, but he wished he wasn't.
More blood splattered everywhere. And two bodies left lying on the floor. His Mother and Father.
His breathing accelerated. Sweat gathered on his brow.
They weren't moving.
They weren't breathing.
They were dead.
Thump.
The sound made his heart pound even faster then it already was. It came from the upstairs. He could hear the footsteps slowly walking across the upstairs floor. He heard the first stair taken by these footsteps creak slightly as pressure was added on it. Little by little the steps got closer until he knew they were just outside the door he had recently just came in through.
Sasuke turned to face it and backed away as slowly as he could. He forced his breathing into silence and took small soft steps backwards.
"Thu-thump, thu-thump." A voice spoke. "Ah, the sound of a scared beating heart."
The door latch detached and it slowly opened.
"Behind door number one, a scared little piglet just begging to be devoured."
The man stepped in the room. He was covered in blood from head to toe. His hair was long and black but also spiky. His eyes were red indicating he had recently fed. For a few hours after a Vampire has human blood, their eyes will glow red. They return to normal after that. That was what his Father had taught him.
"I had a good meal; desert is surly on the menu."
Sasuke was a smart kid, but even the dumbest kid alive could catch the not so hidden meaning behind that sentence. Sasuke backed away toward the back door.
"Thinking of running?" The man disappeared from his view.
Sasuke could feel a presence behind him but acted oblivious before reaching to something that lay on the counter beside the door and tossing it at him.
The sound of a hiss erupted past the man's lips as he was hit with Holy water and Sasuke took the opportunity to run away. He had a good minute where he wasn't followed and had made it outside the gate within that time span. As stated before, Sasuke was smart, so he knew that no one would do anything. He might as well already be dead. No one was dumb enough to open their doors at night to help a seven year old kid.
Any human would rather stay indoors and watch maybe listen while people of all ages were killed. Humans could live with that guilt. Better them then us. Sasuke had understood that feeling, he never agreed with it, but he understood it. However being on the other end, being the one about to be killed, he hated it.
A cold and strong hand gripped his arm and he felt himself being tossed. He landed on the concrete ground and struggled to catch the breath he lost with impact. Before he could he was lifted from the ground and shoved hard against the wall.
"You fucking brat!"
Sasuke forced his eyes open and looked at the man. Part of his face had burn marks on it from the Holy water. Which was also probably why he was so pissed. Holy water and vampires didn't mix.
"Ngh." The man's grip on his arms tightened making him visibly wince and close his eyes again trying to block out the pain. That was until another pain presented itself. His eyes opened again and his body instinctively struggled trying to get away from the teeth that had sunk into the right side of his neck.
The mouth pulled away roughly and dropped him. He was caught though by strong warm arms which after opening his eyes revealed to belong to none other then Itachi.
"We got 'em." A girl commented before the two with Itachi chased after the vampire who had run the moment the hunter's showed up.
Sasuke was sure he was crying, and he was clinging to Itachi refusing to let go.
"It's okay Sasuke; it's not your fault."
-XxX-
Sasuke opened his eyes slowly to the room a light hanging over head going in and out of focus before clearing up.
He stared up for the longest moment trying to remember anything after he passed out. Anything at all, but nothing came to him.
"Yo. You're finally awake then?" Naruto's voice asked.
Sasuke turned his head and looked at the blonde who was sitting up in the hospital bed next to his with a bandage wrapped around his head.
"Hello Earth to Sasu. Welcome back to planet earth." He added.
"Where are we?" Sasuke asked thinking he already knew but wanted confirmation.
"Hell, also known as a hospital where the stick sharp needles in your arm." The blonde answered simply.
Sasuke made a face at him and pulled himself up a little wincing at the slight pain.
"You shouldn't move around so much, Teme. You're on the mend." He pointed out with this tone that would normally make Sasuke want to punch him, however, considering how light headed he felt he decided to let it slide.
"Where's Sakura?" He asked now that he knew they were in a safer environment.
The blonde smiled at him adding a snicker.
"What?" Sasuke asked.
"You're worried about, Sakura-chan." He pointed out.
Sasuke's eyes narrowed a little but that didn't stop the light blush that appeared on his face. "What?! No! You're stupid! I have no reason to worry about Sakura. She's perfectly capable of taking care of herself!"
"Me thinks you doth protest too much." Naruto commented.
"Well you're stupid! You shouldn't think!" Sasuke exclaimed making Naruto snicker again. "Shut up!"
A female giggle from the doorway diverted both boys' attention to the door. "I heard yelling and assumed you were awake." Sakura said.
Sasuke's eyes narrowed again but he didn't say anything this time.
"Sakura-chan! You should've seen it the Teme was worried about you!" Naruto exclaimed.
"I was not!" Sasuke defended. "I told you she could defend herself!"
Sakura giggled. "You're eyebrows twitching Sasuke-kun." She pointed out which in turn made him shut up. "Naruto, you shouldn't be stressing him out, he just woke up. You're gonna make him sick. And Sasuke-kun, quit stressing or you'll make yourself sick." She warned.
"I'm not stressing." Sasuke said through clenched teeth.
"Are too." Naruto argued quietly, but the black haired male still heard him.
"Am not!"
NearKunn: Kay so Sasuke's awake now and we got to have another flashback! Although, dude that's the longest flashback I think I've ever written. Without a past there can be no future.
Sakura: Have you been reading fortune cookies again?
Gaara: Cookies?
Temari: The cookie monster took 'em! That way Gaara! *points to the door and Gaara runs out chasing them*
Rock Lee: Who knew Gaara was so fast! O.O
Kankuro: Only when cookies are involved.
Sakura: Hey where's Naruto and Sasuke?
Hinata: Good question, how about we find out!
Suigetsu: A.) NearKunn wrote their names in the Death Note by accident when she thought she was writing in her ff notebook.
Karin: B.) they got locked in NearKunn-sensei's infamous 'snake closet' for being…bad.
Suigetsu: Or were they kidnapped by Itachi to do Kami-knows-what.
Sakura: You guess.
Kakashi: Don't forget to review. Or we'll tie you to a chair and make you read Make Out Paradise
Ino: BAI!
