Summary: AU. Vamp!Sakura meets Sasuke.

Day 14: Hunger

She jumped from rooftop to rooftop, searching for her next meal. She hungered for it, needed blood or she'll fade to literal dust by the time dawn came around. Under the cloak of darkness that the night provided, even her usually brightly coloured hair was hidden from a mortal. However, to the others of her kind, she stood out like a sore thumb. She was currently being hunted down by the council after taking out one of its elders, Sasori. She was critically injured during one of the scuffle they had dragged her into and she needed fresh blood to heal. Suddenly, she stopped, all her keen senses pinpointed onto a delicious scent, just 3 blocks down south from where she was. This scent was practically singing to her, calling for her to have it, and have it she will.

'That scent…' She inhaled deeply, 'that is some good quality blood; male; in his early adulthood, 19 if mortal; and in really good shape.' She quickly analysed the scent. Grinning eagerly with an appetite for the fresh blood, she began to track him down; blending easily into the shadows. All of a sudden, her ears picked up on a sound, just outside the city.

'Shit, they found me already?' She cursed silently. Her eyes darted towards the direction of the fresh blood. 'I need to refill or I am going to be deader than dead this time.' She thought anxiously. Mind made up, she quickly hunted down the fresh blood. She saw him walking along an empty street,

'This is too simple, there is no witness around.' She grinned toothily. Slowly, she slid out of the shadows and made her way to him. As she neared him, her vampiric eyesight allowed her to take in his form. She noticed that he was rather tall, at least a foot taller than her. He also had jet black hair that was spiky at the back. And when he turned as she called out softly to him, she saw that his eyes were the deepest shade of grey that she's ever seen. 'What a looker.' She mentally cheered for herself.

Her green eyes glowed eerily in the dark as she hypnotised him, and he fell unconscious. She caught him before he fell so that the delicious blood within him was not spoiled with an injury or bruise. She knelt down and gently cradled his head nearer to her mouth. She inhaled deeply, savouring the scent of his blood; but she had to be quick as she heard the vampires neared where she was. Opening her mouth, her fangs elongated,

'Sorry, I won't kill you with the amount of blood that I'm taking, but you'll be lethargic for a few days.' She apologized. 'Itadakimasu' she thanked before her fangs punctured his skin and she began to drink the blood that spilled out. As she drank the last of the blood that she needed, shadows formed a circle around her. She cracked open her green eyes, and sighed before licking the wound she had inflicted to seal it up. Gently, she placed his head onto the ground and stood up. She tossed her long pink hair back and wiped the blood that was at the side off her mouth with the pad of her tongue,

"Well, well, well, what do we have here? Are you fools here for an early death?" She mocked them. Licking the blood off her thumb, she felt her wounds healing rapidly.

"You know what we are here for, you wretch! You killed elder Sasori! You need to be disposed of before you threaten the security of the other elders." One of the vampires accused. However, the pink haired vampire had ignored him, seemingly more focused on the healing properties of the blood that she had just drunk. Her eyes widened in surprise, it was tough finding blood that was compatible with hers, but the one she just had felt like it was made for her. She felt her being strengthen, her senses sharpened, she felt like a new born vampire again, full with life and energy!

As the vampires around her charged at her, she grinned. This blood was a miracle! She leapt and found herself ten times faster than she usually was. She giggled and attacked the vampires, feeling like she was on cloud nine. With a swipe, she beheaded the vampires with ease and they burst into flames. She grinned maniacally, looking at the evaporating blood on her hands, admiring her strength. Too absorbed with power, she didn't notice a vampire appear from the shadows, aiming for her head, when suddenly, a gunshot was heard. It rang throughout the empty streets and shocked her to her core.

Swinging her head to where the sound came from, she saw the vampire writhing and then bursting into flame. As his body burned and fell to the ground, she saw who it was that fired the gun. Holding the gun professionally from the floor was the guy whose blood she had just fed on! Slowly, he started to stand up, gun still pointing in her direction. She eyes him warily, her muscles tensed should she need to attack him. He motioned for her to lower her guard as he slowly placed his gun down onto the ground, raising both his hands in the air as the universal sign of 'Look, I'm unarmed'. She stared at him, still on guard, because really, he has a gun that can kill vampires and she was a vampire and who knows if he has more guns behind his back? He sighed and ran a hair through his hair before looking back at her, straight into her green eyes, a sign of trust,

"Seriously, if I wanted to kill you, I wouldn't have waited for you to turn around. Just trust me, I don't want you dead." He explained. Slowly, she started to lower her guard.

"Who are you? And how did you get up so quickly?" She questioned. He raised an eyebrow in amusement but answered one of her questions anyway.

"Uchiha Sasuke. I work for a group that protects humans from the Otherworld, guys like you vampires, you know, that sort." He gestured to the burnt bodies on the floor, ignoring the annoyed look on her face when she noticed that he didn't answer all her questions. He continued,

"We would like you to join our group, to fight against the elders. We have information that the elders plan to take control of humans and all the other species of the Otherworld." He said. She looked at him sceptically,

"And why would you trust me?" She questioned him. He smirked,

"We have received information from our Otherworld kind spies that a pink haired vampire had just killed the elder Sasori in retaliation for taking out her clan. So, we decided to form a plan to get in contact with you. We had information that you were wounded badly and needed blood." He explained carefully, watching her like a hawk. She snorted,

"Why would I help you?" She quizzed him. He smirked wider,

"I just saved your life, did I not? Plus, if you work with us, you can get your revenge on all those that have wronged you and your kind. Don't worry, other than humans, you'll also be working alongside those of your kind." He added, holding his hand out as a sign of agreement. She deliberated for a while before she took a step and another and another until she was right in front of him. She looked at him before she reluctantly shook his hand,

"My name is Haruno Sakura." She offered. He grinned, and she was stunned with how young he actually looked,

"Welcome to the group, Sakura. I'm sure that you would be of great help to us."

Extra:

"Sasuke-kun, would you like to be my blood donor?"

"… What?"

"Your blood is really, really tasty. I haven't had such blood in a long time and I- Sasuke-kun, where are you going?"

"Far, far away from you."

"No, don't go! It's a compliment, really!"

"You vamps have no social skills."

"I swear by the end of the year you'll be begging for me to have your blood!"

"Tch, as if."

"Just you wait!"
