Disclaimer: Yeah I'm tired of a disclaimer, just look at earlier chapters. If you're too lazy to see that I have disclaimed what need be, then for all you know, I do own Naruto. So back off xD jk jk!

Chapter 3: Breaking Ino
"Where the hell is Sakura?" demanded a furious Tenten.
Ino, Hinata, and Tenten were all eating lunch at a café, waiting for Sakura.
"I can't believe she'd blow us off like this!" continued Tenten, "I mean, after all we've been through as friends, she's never stood us up!"
"There has to be a good reason for her actions," said Hinata quietly.
Tenten pounded her fist on the table. "What reason could be more important than having a tradition Sunday lunch out with you're best friends!"
Hinata scratched her chin. "She could have found someone…"
"Like… a guy?"
Hinata nodded. After a few moments of silence, both girls broke out laughing and stopped when they noticed Ino not laughing.
"Ino-san?" asked Hinata, "Are you okay?"
Ino remained silent for a moment. "I'm… fine."
"Come on, you haven't said a thing all of lunch. What's up?" persisted Tenten.
Ino sighed. "Nothing."
Tenten and Hinata looked at eachother incredulously.
"Okay… if you really don't want to tell us…" whimpered Hinata.
The three sat in silence for about ten minutes.
"OKAY, WHAT THE HELL, INO! WHAT DO YOU KNOW THAT WE DON'T?" shouted Tenten, gaining more than a few looks from the people nearby.
"…"
"Tenten, calm down. Obviously it's bothering her, what she knows," sympathized Hinata. "Who is it about?"
Ino looked at her drink. "It's about… Sakura-chan…"
"The for goddamned sakes, tell us!" demanded Tenten.
Ino sighed. "I… can't…"
"Is it something bad?" asked Hinata.
"In a sense… but I still can't tell you…" whispered Ino.
"Listen, Ino, if there's something about Sakura-chan, as her friends who care deeply about her, we need to know," Tenten nudged her worriedly.
"You're right. But not here…" sighed Ino, "Let's go to my appartment."
Without saying a word, the three girls went to Ino's appartment, the neighbouring one to Sakura's.
"Alright," Ino started, "Two nights ago I came over to Sakura-chan's because I heard her scream in pain. When I got there she was out cold on her couch, pale as a ghost. I… found a bite mark on her neck, so I called Naruto over. He said she had been bit by a vampire, but she wasn't dead. That means the vampire who bit her meant to make her a vampire as well. He came for her last night and they've been gone since."
"Hold the phone and call the operator! What the damned hell did you just say? Sakura's a vampire? Our Sakura!" shouted Tenten.
Ino and Hinata both shushed her.
A tear fell down Ino's cheek. "And something in me keeps saying we'll never see her again… that Sakura-chan's gone… forever…"
Hinata and Ino began sobbing together, and Tenten was pacing the room. "
"Can't we communicate to her somehow?" inquired Tenten. "And who the fuck is this bastard who turned her into a vampire?"
"I… I don't kn-know…" Ino said through sobs.
"There's gotta be some way to find her!" declared Tenten. "I'm calling Naruto."
About half an hour later, Naruto came in and immediately comforted the sobbing Ino. Hinata had stopped crying and was comforting Ino as well.
"Alright, you idiot, tell us how to hunt vampires," demanded Tenten.
"Hunting?" questioned Naruto. "I don't think you want to hunt. All you want to do is find them, right? There's this barn on the outskirts of the town. There have been numerous vampire sightings down there. Almost every night vampires go there to socialize and feed. I'll bet my money you can find Sakura-chan there. But I'd be careful. Vampires can smell human blood miles away, so you might not live to see her if you go there."
"We'd do anything for our Sakura-chan, right girls!" exclaimed Tenten.
The other two nodded.
"Then it's settled! Tonight we'll hunt… er… find Sakura-chan and that bastard that marked her!" Tenten announced, punching the air.
"Alright, Sakura, get up and get dressed," Sasuke ordered, "It's almost nightfall and we're going to have to take you to that barn to hunt again."
Sakura ignored him and pulled the covers over her head. "But… it's so flippin bright out right now!"
Sasuke walked over to the bed and tore off the covers. He kissed her softly on the lips. "Get up or I'll make you get up."
"Oh? And what will you do, Mr. Fantastic Vampire?" mocked Sakura.
Sasuke got on the bed straddled her bare body and started tickling her in… er… very… interesting places.
Sakura began to laugh uncontrollably and finally got up and dressed.
"You are such a bastard," she said playfully.
"Hey, I told you I'd make you. And look what I did," said Sasuke triumphantly.
Sakura smiled and kissed him again.
Then… she felt the terrible hunger and collapsed to the ground.
"Why is this damned hunger so intense?" growled Sakura.
"It's like you're an infant. They have to eat all the time because their bodies are just set to work. You're vampire body is new and it will take a lot of food to get it going straight."
"Wow. That sounded so intellegent, Sasuke-kun," Saskura mocked again.
When the clock stroke midnight, Sasuke carried Sakura back to the barn. But this time there were other vampires there as well.
Everyone gave Sakura a cold stare as she waiting for Sasuke to bring her a foal again. She felt embarassed to have to resort to a foal while everyone else could kill humans. But most of her feelings were frustration towards her undying hunger.
Sasuke came back and she drained the foal he had brought her.
"She… she just killed a foal!" whispered Tenten in shock. "I thought Sakura loved animals!"
"It's her nature now, Tenten, she can't help it," Ino whispered back, protecting her.
"How are we going to get her attention without being killed?" pondered Hinata.
"Maybe we could throw some pebbles at her," suggested Tenten.
"Yeah, if you want every fuckin vampire here to notice! They have very keen eyesight and hearing!" stated Ino.
"Then why can't they hear us now, Ino?" asked Hinata.
"They probably can!" she answered.
The man that was with Sakura left her with a kiss and she stood unconfortably by herself.
"That bastard! How dare he kiss her!" Tenten whispered in disgust.
"I knew I heard people back here," a voice said from behind him. "How stupid can you humans get? Wandering to the very source of vampires. Did you think you could possibly get rid of us all?"
"N-no! We just wanted to talk to an old friend!" Hinata said.
"And who would that be? Me or Sakura?"
All three girls, confused, turned around. "SASUKE!" they all almost shouted.
"Wh-wha… why… how…?" questioned Ino.
"If you're wondering, I'm that 'bastard' that turned her into a vampire. She's my mate. And I'd suggest you three let go of her. Humans and vampires shouldn't interact any more than death and life. It's a split second they meet, one moment you're alive, the next you're not. And that's all we should be doing with each other," snapped Sasuke.
Tenten stood up. "You'll let us talk to Sakura or else!"
Sasuke grinned. "Or else what? You really think a simple human could beat a vampire?"
Sasuke felt a cold gun against his head.
"She could with a silver bullet," growled Ino. As much as she hated to hurt her beloved Sasuke-kun, she had to do what she had to do.
"Hn. I'll let her over to talk to you three, although I have no idea why she would want friends like you," smirked Sasuke as he left to get Sakura.
Sakura walked over to them a few minutes later.
"Girls!" she exclaimed. "How did you find me?"
"Through Naruto," said Tenten, "Sit down and shut up. We want some answers. First of all, how could you blow off our Sunday lunch!"
"Tenten! Look at me! I'm as pale as death and I have huge white fangs! People would notice! And I can't go outside in daylight! It's like a killer migraine! I'd die from too much light! You have to understand, Ten-chan…" explained Sakura.
"Oh, yeah, and while blowing us off you go and make damned love to some guy you used to have a crush on that's been missing three fuckin years!"
Sakura began to cry. "I'm sorry, Tenten! Goddammit, it's not like I begged for this to happen! I didn't even want it or expect it to! But what do you expect of me now? Do you want me to expose myself to the entire village and have them burn me at the stake? Would you have me die to eat lunch with you?"
"Yeah, Tenten, think over what you're saying," said Hinata while hugging Sakura.
"You're lucky she hasn't bitten you yet, Tenten. I'd shut my mouth if I were you," Ino snapped.
"I can't believe you guys would side with her!"
"Maybe it's because we can all see how irrational you're being! Just listen to yourself, Ten-chan," said Ino, "We need to support Sakura right now and help her through this, not bring her down."
Tenten sat down next to Sakura. "They're right. I'm sorry, Sakura."
(AN: Awww! Sap moment!)
Tenten hugged Sakura.
Suddenly Sakura smelt something really tasty-smelling. The blood… Tenten's blood… it smells so good…
Sakura bore her fangs but Sasuke pulled her away just in time.
"Look, you three, leave Sakura alone now that you've said your goodbyes. If she stays around humans too long, whether she wants to or not, her vampire instincts will kick in and you will all be dead. So just forget about Sakura… like you did with me," ordered Sasuke. He then took Sakura back to his house.
"Sasuke, they said some things back there that made me think," muttered Sakura. "You really did alter my entire life…"
"Are you regretting becoming mine?"
"Part of me doesn't at all, but the other, larger part, really does."
"Sakura, nothing you try can make you human again," said Sasuke. He pressed her up against the wall. "I know it'll take you a while to accept it, but you're mine now, whether you like it or not. You're going to be mine… forever… Sakura-chan…"
Sasuke pressed his lips passionately against hers and suddenly, there were no more regrets or worries…
AN: Bwuahahahaha! Another chapter done! I made this one longer, too! However, this one wasn't as dark as the other ones… prepares for flames I'll try to make the next chapter darker…
