Hey guys! Soooo good news, I finally bought another laptop! I'll be able to update more often now :D Anyways, sorry for the late update, I've been so busy with college applications and scholarships. Word of advice guys, don't wait till the last minute to meet deadlines T.T Lol anyway, enough of my rambling! Enjoy the next chapter!
Sakura felt herself be laid down on a bed. She heard a bunch of commotion and loud voices, everyone sounded to be in a hurry and her arm felt like it was being pricked. The pain of her injuries seemed to be fading slowly. A comforting feeling washed over her. It was warm and it seemed to numb her body. If she could let out a content sigh, she would.
On the outside, doctors were surrounding Sakura's body, putting bandages, stitches and numbing medication to do a quick surgery. She had broken bones and internal bleeding. The doctors were amazed at how this small thin girl had had been brought in by a group of servants into the hospital wing of the mansion. The doctors recognized Sasuke's bride, and immediately began to work.
Sakura drifted off into a deep sleep, well, it seemed like it to her. She opened her eyes, only to find she was surrounded by black.
"Where am I...?" Everything seemed so warped and dark around her.
"You're finally awake..."
"Inner? What's going on? Why is everything so dark?"
"You're asleep. Well, technically you're in surgery right now."
"Huh? Surgery?"
"You suffered so many serious wounds Cherry..."
"Oh, right. That little girl found me." Sakura remembered the little girl running to her with a worried expression. "Everything's a blur after that."
"He's losing it you know...Sasuke's doing everything he can to break into the surgery room. He thought you were dead." At the mention of Sasuke, Sakura's heart clenched. If only she could see him.
"Wait, how do you know?"
"Huh? Can't you hear him? You may be unconscious, but right now you're in here in your own mind, my home if you will. Listen..." She closed her eyes and listened. She heard loud crashing noises and her name being called out in desperation. What on Earth was going on out there?
Sasuke felt her as soon as she had came within Uchiha gates. His senses picked up the scent of blood and bare skin. She was injured and exposed and being taken away from him again! Sasuke's demon went wild. He jumped from the balcony in his room and followed her scent.
"She's alive!" Sasuke followed the scent to the hospital wing of the mansion. Sakura was behind the operating room doors.
"Sakura!" A hospital nurse stopped him from entering the room.
"I'm sorry Master Uchiha, but I can't let you in."
"The hell you can't my mate is in there!" His eyes turned red and his fangs pireced his bottom lip. His sensitive hearing picked up the sound of a knife piercing her skin. Sasuke shoved the nurse aside and pushed the doors open. Body guards blocked him from going in any further near Sakura. The doctors tried calming him.
"Master Sasuke please! We need to operate or else she won't survive!" His words didn't reach Sasuke. His demon instincts were yelling at him that his mate was hurt to the point of death and that these doctors were cutting and pricking her skin. Her blood filled his senses, and it only made his rage grow. These men were trying to get in the way of him and Sakura. That was one thing he couldn't allow.
Sasuke punched a hole in the chest of one of the body guards. The man was dead in an instant. More guards appeared and tried holding him down. It was no use. He easily overpowered them.
"Master Sasuke please!" Sasuke saw one of the surgeons about to cut Saukra once more with the scalpel.
"Get away from her!" Sasuke's eyes were bloody red. He was about to attack the Doctor and rip his arm off for cutting his mate. An orange blonde blur appeared. In an instant, he was punched and flew backwards out of the room. Sasuke easily recovered, and was beyond seething. He felt a weight on either side of him. He tried to move his arms to, but found that he was being restrained by Neji and Shikamaru.
"What are you doing?!" His voice was distorted and demonic, a sign that his demon had partially taken over. Naruto appeared in front of him with an angered look.
"What the hell do you think you're doing attacking the people trying to save Sakura!"
"NO! Let go! Naruto she's dying!"
"Then let these people save her teme!" Sasuke threw Neji and Shikamaru against the doors of the hospital wing, charging for the surgery room once more. Naruto appeared infront of the surgery doors, blocking Sasuke.
"Get out of my way dobe." Naturo looked at Sasuke directly in the eyes. Naruto's eyes had changed to red, and he began to emit an orange glow.
"No." Naruto punched his best friend in the face and sent him flying. Neji and Shikamaru pinned Sasuke's arms and legs down with full force. Sasuke tried calming himself. But how could he? His mate was on the other side, dying.
"Tell me! What would you all do?! Huh?! What would you all do if Ino or Tenten had been taken from you?!" Neji and Shikamaru's faces didn't change. They were still concentrated on holding down their best friend. "What would you do dobe if Hinata was on the brink of death?! I'm sure your instincts would have done the same as mine!" Sasuke's eyes stung. "I almost lost her..." Naruto looked down at his best friend, his eyes changing to blue.
"Look, I don't know how you feel teme. I don't think any of us would know what to do if we were in your situation." Naruto knelt to meet Sasuke's eyes. "But I do know teme that if I was in your place, you'd be the one punching me and keeping me away." Naruto stood up above Sasuke. "Sakura-chan's gonna be alright. But you have to let them help her. Don't get in the way teme, we'll stop you."
Sasuke looked at his best friends, his eyes changing to black.
"I almost lost her..."
Sakura snapped open her eyes. Everything seemed to go in slow motion. She was in an empty room on a flat steel bed.
"Hello?" Her mind was fuzzy. With much difficulty she forced her body up. She seemed to be in a hospital room. Her bare feet touched the cold marble floor. She held on to the walls to keep her balance. She felt like she could fall any minute. The pain killers had worn off and she began to feel the sting of her injuries. Sakura concentrated her energy on her left hand.
It began to glow green, enveloping her entire hand healing her broken wrist. She healed her deepest injuries to a point where the pain was had to find Sasuke. She needed him. With the strength she had left, she pushed open the door. A maze of hallways filled her eyes. She would find Sasuke right now no matter what!
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-. -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
"The surgery went well master, your bride is now in recovery and you can take her in a few hours." A wave of relief washed over Sasuke and the others.
"Can we see her," asked Naruto.
"I'm afraid not yet, she sustained too many deep injuries and broken bones. She'll need some time to recover for a bit." He noticed Sasuke's eyes flash red. How much longer was his mate gonna be kept from him? The doctor bid his goodbyes and Naruto and the others went back to the mansion to update Sasuke's parents.
Sasuke calmed himself. He told himself he would be with her soon. The red moon would begin in a few days and last for a week. Gods he needed to keep her safe until then. Sakura was everything to him now, nothing else mattered. Sasuke made his way out of the hospital wing and back to his shredded room. He needed to get it fixed before Sakura came back.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-. -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Sakura found a bit of her strength again as she motivated herself to see her Sasuke again. The pain from her injuries seemed to have disappeared with the healing. Sakura somehow managed to get out of the hospital wing and back into the main corridors of the mansion.
Her legs carried her to Sasuke's bedroom. She was a few feet away, yet it seemed as if it was yards and yards away. She began running, still hanging on to the walls. Out of breath, her heart was pounding outside his door. She slammed the door open when...
"Sakura..." She turned around to see her Sasuke, her vampire Sasuke with an astonished, surprised look on his face. He wasted no time to close the gap between them and crush her against him. Sakura was crying into his chest as he breathed in her scent from the base of her neck. She wrapped her arms around his neck and looked up at him.
His eyes bore into hers and drifted down to her lips. Her eyes told him he needed no permission to kiss her. Her lips met his first, and they both melted into the kiss. His arms were wrapped securely around her waist. He deepened the kiss and she ran her hands through his raven hair. They broke their kiss to catch their breath, but kept their bodies linked.
"Sakura...I..."
"Shhh..." She kissed him softly and put her hand on his cheek. He closed his eyes and put his hand over hers. "I'm okay Sasuke-kun, I'll be alright." She gave him a small reassuring smile. "I didn't die. Besides, if I had-" he cut her off.
"I thought you were dead Sakura," he gripped her by the shoulders. "I thought that you had left me forever without giving me the chance to show you how I feel, how important you are to me. I barely just found you, and you almost slipped away from me." Sakura felt herself at the brink of tears again. Here was Sasuke, the cold hearted vampire lord bearing his all to her. "I couldn't stand the thought of living forever with out you by my side. I can't let you go Sakura, don't ask me too. I'll never be able to let you go."
Sasuke began to shake and his eyes began to turn red. Sakura cupped the sides of his face and touched her forehead with his. He dropped his head down to her shoulder and kissed the smooth skin. He looked down to her bandages.
"Sakura, you're supposed to be in recovery." Sakura sighed and stepped away from him a bit.
"Don't make me go back Sasuke-kun, please..." Sasuke cupped her cheek.
"Stupid, I just told you I wasn't letting you get away from me." He picked her up and carried her to another room. Sakura looked back to the door of Sasuke's bedroom, it was a complete wreck. She decided not to say anything on the matter. She just let Sasuke take her wherever he was headed.
Sasuke's demon was calm. Sakura was finally with him again in his arms. He had to make sure she made a full recovery. The week of the full moon would begin in a few days. He knew once the red moon came, he would have no control over himself and claim Sakura as his. Sasuke let them to another bigger room with a beautiful view of the moon.
Sakura noticed the color of the moon was strange, almost pink. She remembered her inner said something about the moon changing color, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. She shrugged it off, she'd ask about it later. Sasuke gently laid her on the huge mattress. He walked over to the other side, taking off his shirt to reveal his sculpted body, making his bride blush mad.
Sasuke smirked, but then froze as his small mate took off her hospital robe to reveal her bandaged chest. Her breasts were being held in and seemed as if they could burst out of the bandaging at any minute. He noticed that she had a well toned body and long creamy legs that were begging to be touched and caressed. He fet his instincts take over, his eyes turned red.
Sasuke closed the curtains, blocking the light of the moon. Sakura could only see the red of his eyes in the darkness. She trembled, but not with fear. He climed onto the bed, capturing Sakura's lips with his. He kissed down to her neck trailing soft kisses down to her navel. He caressed her legs up and down.
Sakura closed her eyes tight, savoring his touches that left a hot trail on her skin. He felt her legs all the way up to her thighs. She radiated such warmth, and she was all his. This beautiful woman was all his and was going to be his forever. He kissed her stomach and made his way back up to her lips. She wrapped her arms on his back, memorizing every muscle on his cool skin. Her touch was heaven.
He wanted her. Gods he wanted her bad, but tonight was not the night. Sakura broke the kiss and snuggled closer to him, getting dizzy with his scent.
"Sleep Sakura, you need it love." She closed her eyes as he hitched one of his legs over hers and wrapped his arms protectively around her waist. He closed his eyes and let sleep take over with her scent calming his body.
"Sakura!" Ino tackled her into the floor sobbing. It had been four days since Sakura came back, and so far she had made a splendid recovery.
"I-Ino?"
"Oh Sakura! I thought you had died! How horrible! When we all heard the news we all came rushing over here as quickly as we could!" Sakura sweat dropped at her friend.
"Ino I'm alright. Trust me, you can ask Sasuke." Sasuke's friends had come over with their brides to see how Sakura was doing.
"Troublesome woman insisted on coming to see you Sakura, I couldn't hold her back." Ino glared at her mate and stuck out her tongue.
"Oh shut up Shika-kun! I was very worried about Sakura! Anyways, the girls and I are here to steal you away for a bit." At the word "steal" Sasuke tensed and traced behind his mate. "Oh come one Sasuke, a little girl talk isn't gonna hurt her! Besides, she could use a break from you! I heard she hasn't been alone for a second without you following behind her."
"Haha! Come on teme! Neji and Shikamaru came to spar with us! Lets leave the women here to talk about hair...and uh...nail polish and...umm the diffrent shades of gray, I think there's fifty of them." Neji hit Naruto upside the head.
"Moron." Sasuke looked at Sakura.
"I'll be fine Sasuke-kun, I'm with the girls." She gave him a quick kiss on the lips.
"If you need anything love, just call me, I'll be able to hear you." He kissed Sakura on the forehead and left with Naruto and the others. It was just the four women alone in the lounge, resting on the comfortable pillows and sofas.
"So Sakura, are you ready for the week of the red moon? It's almost here," said Tenten.
"Red moon? You mean the week where I'll be changed and claimed?"
"Yup! Knowing Sasuke, he'll probably pounce you the first few minutes when the moon turns up!"
"Pounce me?" Ino and Tenten's jaw's dropped.
"You mean you don't know?" Sakura gave them a blank look. "Oh my gosh! We have to get you filled in pronto! You too Hinata since the red moon also affects Naruto." Hinata and Sakura sat together looking at the other two.
"Well for starters, the red moon tends to have a certain effect on males. It sends their instincts on overdrive with lust and hormones making them want their mate. For us women it has a different effect. It just enhances certain things like scent, blood taste, skin texture is smoother, and we're super fertile. So basically to our mates we're a walking piece of estrogen that can get preggo." Tenten began to nod with everything Ino was saying.
"The guys will not, I repeat will NOT let you out of their sights for even a second. They will have a limitless supply of stamina and their only food will be from your neck. I'm not saying you'll be at it for the full week nonstop, he will let you rest, but more than likely you won't be out of the bedroom for that whole week. When Neji and I first experienced it, let me tell you, it was amazing! I mean yeah it was tiring, but man!" Tenten fanned herself.
"A heads up, Sasuke and Naruto will probably let their instincts take over, so be ready to see full red eyes, long fangs, wings, the full nine yards. The worst thing you can do during this week, is touch, see, be seen, or talk to another male. Remember, their instincts are fully on at this point and will see any other male as a threat and probably kill them. But like Tenten said you probably won't be outta the bedroom."
Sakura and Hinata were blushing tomatoes at this point.
"Oh and don't worry about them not satisfying you. They will come through! Yes, maybe they'll be rough at first, but then they take things on the gentle side and treat you like a sex goddess." Ino sighed. "I'm really looking forward to it.
Sakura blushed. She was already comfortable with Sasuke, and she knew she belonged to him. She smiled. On the week of the red moon, she will show her Sasuke just how much she belongs to him and him only.
Yay! Chapter 13 is done! Up next is the week of the red moon ;) lololol till next time guys!
