Chapter 13
Sasuke stood in the shooting range, every few seconds firing a shot into a dummy…Shots that could kill on impact. Then he heard something…A faint cry. Inita…
"Looks like target practice is over."
"So…Is there something between you and Yuki?" He stared into her eyes.
"I wish." She rolled her eyes. "Ten years ago, he rescued me from an evil vampire."
His eyes dulled as he pulled away. Yuki? "He what?"
"He rescued me from….."
"Whoa…You do realize what that means, right?"
"Huh?"
"You owe him your blood…" He murmured.
"What?"
"If it is as you say, then your blood is 'legally' his…Would you like to go now and ask him to drink it?" He shot her a sly glance, knowing she would refuse.
"No way!"
"Then," he allowed the ice around her feet to melt, "Would you prefer me to entice your senses?" He held her against him, pulling her into a passionate kiss.
"Get off!" She pushed him back and moved to slap him.
Yuki got to him first, however. "Deidara…." His warning glare stopped his classmate dead in his tracks.
"Yuki-sempai…" Inita murmured.
"Master Yuki…."
"Get out of my sight before I regret giving you a second chance."
He bowed and disappeared down the hall.
"Why did you come here so early? It's dangerous…"
"I came to…" She paused. What was he staring at so intently?
His hand pulled the bandage off her neck and he gazed at the bite marks in silence.
"Yuki?"
"I can't bear the thought of another drinking the blood which is rightfully mine…"
She was dumbfounded. So Deidara had been right.
"I'm sorry…What did you come to tell me?"
"Oh…Would you please reconsider transferring Sasuke to the moon dorm? You know how much he hates vampires."
"Sadly, I can't do that. Not even for you, the most precious girl in the world to me."
"I…. Me?" Luckily, Sakura hadn't been near enough to hear.
Just then the door flew open. Sasuke looked from one to the other in anger, grabbed Inita's hand and pulled her away from Yuki, all the way off the Moon dorm campus.
"Sasuke! Slow down!" she struggled to keep up with him.
Yuki stared after them. That nuisance that Jacarra had taken in was becoming a bit too brave for his own good. He needed to be taught a lesson.
"Patience…" he whispered to himself, "Now is not the time…Besides…He knows she's mine. He can taste it in her blood."
"Yuki-sama! The human girl...Why does she keep coming here?"
"Sakura? You shoud be with the others..."
"Yuki...Answer me. Why does she...?"
"She comes because I saved her many years ago."
"Oh..." No threat at all. Yuki was as good as hers.
"Sasuke, stop! Yuki and I were just…"
He turned back to her, fire flashing in his eyes. "It's always about you and Yuki, isn't it?" he growled.
"Sasuke?" She gazed at him in confusion. Was he usually this annoyed when she talked to Yuki? How was it she had never noticed?
"Idiot! Shut up!" he yelled inwardly. He was confused too…By his new nature, by the taste of her blood, by his constantly clashing feelings for her…So many things just didn't make sense.
"Is something wrong?"
"No. Just forget it…Let's go." He walked ahead.
"Why won't you tell me?" She wondered, trudging slowly behind him. "Don't you trust me?"
