He turned to the left, his eyebrows furrowed as he dreamt of blurry nothingness. His mind told him he was forgetting something, something important, all in the forms of dreams.
He grunted in his sleep, tossing and turning to the right, his bedsheets tangled around his torso. Sweat formed on his forehead, although it was odd since it was chilly out tonight.
Gray images past through his mind through his closed eyelids, but he couldn't figure out what any of them represented.
A figure of a person danced across his vision.
He turned around again, grunting. He... or maybe a she? He couldn't tell what gender the person was, but all he knew was that it was important.
He ... just couldn't remember why.
Right then a bloodcurling scream echoed through his mind, resulting in his eyes opening.
He panted, glancing around the room to find that he was still in his room, and that it was only a nightmare...
A horrible, confusing nightmare.
Yea... He thought, a bit hesitant to think the thought. It was just...
His blue eyes glanced at his mirror, a sweaty blonde with blue eyes returning his stare.
A nightmare.
He sighed, looking away from the mirror.
So why do I feel like I'm missing something?
She gave a soft smile to the brown-haired boy, not revealing her true thoughts.
It's weird... everything about that night I was kidnapped disappeared from my mind...
She glanced at the boy, Neji, who was walking her home.
And then Sakura was kidnapped right after...
Everything that happened when I was kidnapped...
The only reason I even remember the kidnapping was because Neji told me. But then... the rest is a blur.
As if I'm missing something. A huge part of my life has been snatched away from me without my permission... it was my memory... I should have it...
But I don't.
"Neji... how did Sakura disappear?" Maybe some details will remind me of what happened.
He didn't respond to her question, staying silent.
"... Neji?"
She heard him sigh, whisper something under his breath, and then he turned to look at her, her small smile disappearing when she looked at him.
Her face turned trance-like, with her staring at nothing but Neji's eyes, his eyes straining to keep the power up.
"Sakura doesn't exist, Tenten."
She slowly nodded, and soon her eyes closed, with her body falling into Neji's arms.
He stumbled around his room, his hand reaching up to touch his forehead to massage his headache away. It hurt to try and think about this mystery person, but he had to know, he wasn't going to give up so easily.
Blindly he searched for the bottle of aspirin on his dresser. He opened it with shaky hands, resulting in the bottle falling to the floor, each pill drop echoing in his head a thousand times.
"Ugh!" He grunted, using his hand to push himself away from the dresser, stumbling onto his bed again.
He heavily panted, gulping and wondering why so much pain came to his mind when he thought about whoever he was thinking of.
He ran his shaky hands through his blonde hair, a scowl planting itself on his lips when knots in his hair prevented him from moving his hand. He pulled roughly, moaning as he pulled some hair off his head.
Why is this bothering me so much?
What could possibly be so important that had him frustrated to no ends in the middle of the night? What was he dying to know?
He closed his eyes, enduring the wretched pain as he tried to think of the person again, sweat again forming on his head but he paid no attention to it, just concentrating on that one person.
The body started to make some shape, and although he couldn't see the face, he figured out one thing.
It's a she.
She sat still, the shock paralyzing her into one spot, while her mind was in chaos.
Naruto?
Neji?
Her mind thought of different possibilities, them betraying her, them lying to her...
How long...
She growled as tears fell from her face.
How long have they been lying to me?
Naruto... one of my closest friends... lied to me?
And Neji too? He's my friend as well... or was he?
Were they?
Her mind worked hard to process the shocking news, yet she let her anger get in the way.
How dare they? This whole time, all they were ... they were just cheating, lying vampires like Sasuke over here...
What was I to them? A pawn? Someone to spy on?
And then ...
Were they all in cahoots? Did they plan Tenten's kidnapping, resulting in my kidnapping?
Her nails dug into her palm as her hand was now a fist, trying to keep in her anger.
Were they all in on this?
Her sharp nails pierced the skin of her flesh, drawing blood, but Sakura felt no pain.
Did they sell me out?
She didn't notice Sasuke taking her hand into his, lifting her palm to his mouth.
Did they betray me?
She gasped as she felt his tongue against her palm, licking the blood away.
"When there's no one to turn to, Sakura..."
She closed her eyes, not bothering to fight him as his arms wrapped themselves around her waist.
"I'm going to be here."
Yay! I updated! Whoohoo!!
Not a long chapter, I know. But this chapter ... I felt like this was all I wanted to put in here... hopefully they'll be more as I go on, I'm writing on whims here.
A Dedication for this chapter goes to: alamodie, because her review gave me the ideas for this chapter. (Which, if you didn't get, Naruto is not a vampire and Neji is.)
