Chapter 25: Aftermath
He was outside for the first time in what seemed like an eternity. Even if it wasn't truly on land it was close enough, a ledge that was outside they're rooms looked out over the sea, towards that isolated island beyond. The salt wind slapped against his face bringing colour to his pale face. Spray from the waters far below cleansed the leftover blood from his body from the attack only and hour or two ago. Onyx eyes stared out straight ahead not seeing the world as he lost himself into the twisted rails of his train of thought.
The fact that her had attacked with the Walking Dead showed that he was more then ready to take them all on. Tonight's battle was only a taste of what was to come.
Sasuke sighed and leaned against the thin rusted rail that was the only thing that stopped him from falling into the churning waves below. Again his gaze rested onto the island for off in the distance, something about that place called to him, his very blood singing in answer to its invitation. He knew he would have to go there eventually to take the final rights and become the true leader of the vampires, it was written so in the Book of the Dammed. Sasuke frowned at the thought of the disturbing book Sakura found in the Great Library.
The Final rights is what bound the Daywalkers to all the vampires, let them all know who they answered too. His gaze faded as it lost focus, If Orochimaru knew about the Daywalkers blood and power he would know about the rights. But did he know where they were to be held?
No one knew what the Rights were. Not even Yugure, she said it was because the last Daywalker had died before she was placed into existence. Whatever that meant, nobody tried to dwell on that. Supposedly it wasn't a set guide of rituals that was repeated; every Daywalker who went there to claim the title had to give something up. Or so she was told.
'Sakura,' Sasukes thought painfully, he could never give her up, but what if she was the price? Would he do it? Could he give her up? Have her die and wait god knows how long for her to be reincarnated? With no knowledge of her rightful place beside him? If she was born again as a…human? And if so would she hate him? Despise him? Could he change her again? It was hard enough the last time and she was about to die that time. He couldn't destroy her chance at a normal life again…
He closed his eyes against the sudden uprising of wind against his face. The sharp sting of salt spray against his face gave him some sort of relief. It wasn't that time yet, he told himself.
'Not yet,' he thought opening his eyes with fierce determination, 'I won't let her go, not yet!' his hands gripped the rail tightly. It splintered under his strength digging in to his palms deep into his flesh. He watched the shards fall into the waters far below with eyes of indifference. Almost casually he brought up his palms and watched the red water flow into the crevices that lined his hands, natural and scars.
Small pale hand covered his own. Delicate and perfect a striking contrast from his own pale ones. He was slightly surprised, he hadn't even heard her open the door let alone walk up behind him.
"You really should be more careful," her loving voice reached his ears wiping all his worries away with that simple sentence. Sasuke turned to see his pink haired mate holding his hands before her carefully running her hands over the small lacerations.
"I wonder what made you so angry you would do this?" she asked him looking up at him in the eyes, jade clashing with onyx. He had noticed before but he never paid it much mind, Sakura had changed since they had first met in high school months ago. No longer was she the hot headed traumatized teen who wanted to kill every vampire she came across, now a beautiful, intelligent, cool headed vampiress who only wanted this war to end. And he loved her for it.
"Is it because someone wants something?" she asked letting her breath flow across his skin setting it afire. Her sense of play and humour was something that would never change. She slowly pulled out each and every shard in his hands. Sasuke had to bite his lip to stop himself from groaning in delight. He was a vampire, every single one of them was somewhat masochist.
She ran her tongue over the weeping cuts, tasting his essence as a shiver ran up his spine that had nothing to do with the wind or water. Her lips reached Sasukes wrist where she paused. Sasukes looked down to see a small smirk graze her features as her bangs shadowed the rest of her face. His eyes glazed over as she sank her fangs into the sensitive flesh there. His breath left him as she drank.
Sakura retracted her fangs and looked up to see her raven haired mate in pure ecstasy. She loved this, knowing she had some sort of power over him even if it was lust. Gripping his wrist in her left hand she slid up closer to him her hand sliding up his chest over his shoulder and into his hair. Her lips traced his jugular, licking and sucking it causing him to pant. Then without warning she pulled away. Sasukes gaze instantly snapped to hers, sharingan on. Obviously he was a bit pissed she had stopped.
"Not here," she told him indicating towards the open sliding door, towards their rooms. They probably had the only suit that held natural light. She walked up to the doorframe and turned back to face him. Her expression saying, 'well?'
Sasuke refused to tear his gaze away from her form, her eyes. Slowly but steadily he followed her into what has become know thought HQ as, the Daywalkers lair.
Upon entering Sasuke felt her arms wrap themselves around his neck. He buried his face into her neck inhaling deeply.
"How did I ever end up with a girl like you?' He asked out loud tightening his hold on her. He could feel her lips trail along the side of his face, resting beside his ear.
"Fate," was her one word reply. She tilted her face up to meet his kiss. He devoured her, never wanting to let go.
"I must thank her" he told Sakura as he traced her jaw line with is tongue she giggled and pulled away looking into his eyes, suddenly serious.
"Something is bothering you," she stated rather then asked, Sasuke inwardly flinched at how perceptive she was. She sighed and rested her head against his chest moving her arms down until they were wrapped around his torso.
"You don't have to tell me, but even if I don't know," she looked up at him. Sasuke raised an eyebrow at the smirk on her face. She placed a hand at the back of his neck and forced him to lean down until her mouth was right beside his ear.
"I'll make them all melt away," she finished flicking her tongue out against his ear shell. Sasukes breath left him as Sakura continued her attack, he had to force himself to breath, not that he needed to anyways but it was force of habit telling him to anyways. Pulling away he captured her mouth with his and initiated a fierce dance with her tongue with his. His hands held onto her upper arms with increasing grip, willing her to never leave him.
"I'll never let you go," he whispered to her before lowering his mouth to her neck. Sakura didn't know what he meant buy that but he said it with such passion and determination she didn't doubt him for a moment. She threw her head back giving him more access to her neck as Sasuke pulled down her skirt and ran his hands up and down her thighs.
"S-sasuke," she whispered before losing herself into pleasure.

Sai looked up at the door as it opened. He was sitting on the side of his hospital bed finishing wrapping up a wound on his arm he didn't remember receiving. A small smile graced his lips as he eyed the blond that entered the room.
"Hey there beautiful," Ino smiled weakly as worry and sadness crossed her face.
"Is it true?" she asked in a whisper. Sais hands fell to his lap as he looked at her expecting the question.
"Are you going to become…" she trailed off.
"A vampire?" Sai finished for her. Ino nodded quickly, wrapping her arms around herself as she waited for the answer. Sai looked down.
"Yeah," he said forlorn etched his voice. Ino hand flew to her mouth, tears threatened to fall from her eyes. With a shuddered gasp she threw herself at him holding him tightly. Sai, a bit surprised hesitated before placing his arms around her and held her close, her tears soaking his shirt as she cried.
After a few minutes he called her name, "Ino," he said, she looked up at his face and he smiled at her, a real smile the one he gave her and her alone.
"I know this will be hard," he told her, "but what I feel for you will never change." Ino's face broke out into a shining smile and she hugged him.
"Sorry am I interrupting something?" a voice came from the doorway. Sai looked over Ino's head and saw Itachi leaning against the doorframe with the infamous Uchiha smirk on his face. Sai glared at him.
Ino got up blushing, "Um I'll be right back um, would you like anything to eat…" she trailed off. Sai flashed a smile at her.
"Yeah thanks hun." Ino blushed darker and fled the room. Itachi watched her go.
"Hun?" he asked turning back to the raven haired man. Sai glowered at him.
"Shut up weasel," Itachi grinned flashing his fangs.
"It's ironic," he said, "you, Sai, are an ANBU, technically higher in rank then my Ototo." Sai raised and eyebrow.
"So?"
"Well you're going to be a vampire," Itachi continued, "under my brothers command." Sai sighed. (ha)
"That is Ironic, but we both know that even when Sasuke was still half-vampire he could have been and ANBU captain." Sai said. Itachi's eyes flashed angrily.
"I know," his voice deepened in anger, "Prejudice," he spat. Sat nodded with agreement.
"That's what happens when you have Danzou in charge of ANBU, that old mans so fixed against vampires he doesn't know what an asset we can be." Sai drawled. Itachi nodded knowingly, as he had been an ANBU before.
"You'll have to leave ANBU, there's no way that old man would keep you in." Itachi informed him. Sai barked out laughter.
"Thank you captain obvious, but do you think I care?" he asked the older man who had shown him the ropes when he first joined the Organization. Itachi grinned.
"No I guess not," Itachi chuckled some more then sobered, "how many?" he asked softly. Sai looked down.
"Hyuuga defiantly got bit; he'll be one of us by tomorrow, same with Ten-san. Gaara and his siblings are fine because of being Shukaku decedents. Naruto is going to be fine because of being Kyuubi's heir. Shikamaru was taken by surprise, Yugure is with him trying to save his life, she might change him into a lychan but she doesn't want to resort to that. Hinata is fine as is Ino, Kiba and Akamaru are gone. Them, Shino and Chouji were on duty tonight, they didn't see it coming." Itachi shook so many in one fight. Along with Kakashi and Anko…if Uchihas cried he would be.
"There isn't even time for a memorial," Itachi said sadly his clenching fist was the only sign of his true emotions.
"They did their duty," Sai said, "And when Orochimaru is dead, they will be remembered and honoured for their sacrifice."
"Aa."
