AN: Wow. I'm really getting somewhere with this. However, the only reason I continue is to stay alive. I am also placing an official restraining order on Iron Butterfly… I just want to live and be happy! I got a mix of answers for "SasuSaku" or "vampire gore" … so I'll see if I can fit both into one chapter.
And I really do greatly appalogize for taking so long to update. I've been at a writer's block…
Chapter 4: Surprises
Sakura woke up and saw Sasuke next to her. She suddenly remembered the past few days: her turning into a vampire and now living with her mate, Uchiha Sasuke.
It's amazing how a few days can alter the course of your enire life…she thought before getting out of bed.
She looked at the digital clock, it was six in the evening.
Sakura took a shower and got into a black bodysuit she had taken a fancy to (AN: Yay for ideas from Underworld!).
It had been three weeks since she had changed. Her friends knew about her secret and sometimes tried to visit her at night (taking the risk of being killed). She was also able to hunt and kill on her own, which she usually spent all night doing to fill her stomach which never seemed to be satisfied.
Sakura jumped out the window and began walking down the street, looking for someone who might be stupid enough to come out at night. If that didn't work, she'd go inside houses and look for people asleep.
Two things became very apparent to her: Konaha was growing more aware of vampires' presence, and that they were starting to hunt down the vampires.
Naruto had almost killed her twice before realizing who the vampire was. Ino had made him swear on his life not to touch Sakura or Sasuke, no matter how many people they killed.
I swear Naruto is a dangerous friend… Sakura thought.
After roaming Konoha's streets for about three hours, she finally decided to break into a house or two or more…
The first one was an old man. He should have thanked her for killing him: he was a fossil.
The second person she killed was a middle-aged woman who was working the night shift at a deserted grocery store. Risky place to kill… unless you disable the security cameras.
And the last person… whoo, boy…
The body fell limp as Sakura licked her lips. "That had to be the best one yet."
"Neji-kun?" called a voice from the door.
Shit! I know that voice! Sakura screamed in her head. Fuck! I just… Neji… Tenten will never trust me again! I'll be lucky if she doesn't kill me!
Sakura fell to her knees and began to cry.
"Who's in there? Sakura-chan is that you?" called Tenten. After a moment of sifting thoughts through her head and thinking why Sakura might be crying in Neji's room…
"HOLY SHIT, OPEN THE DOOR, YOU BITCH! WHAT DID YOU DO TO NEJI-KUN!" shouted Tenten.
Sakura could move. She was shaking violently. "How… could I have…"
Tenten busted down the door and rushed in only to see her Neji dead and Sakura crying over the body.
"Sakura… please tell me you didn't…"
Sakura shakily nodded. "I… I'm s-so s-sorry…"
Tenten's eyes widened. "Sakura, how could you! You knew Neji and I were dating! How could you do this to me!"
"I-it was d-dark… I-I couldn't s-see who I was k-killing…" sobbed Sakura.
"Goddammit, I knew this would happen! I knew you would end up killing someone we loved! And look, you did! DAMN YOU!" screamed Tenten, standing up.
Tenten took a gun out of one of Neji's drawers and loaded it with a silver bullet. (AN: Why she has one, I have no idea…)
"Tenten, don't do anything irrational…" stuttered Sakura, standing up and backing away.
"Irrational? IRRATIONAL! You're telling me not to be irrational when my best friend just murdered my boyfriend?" snapped a very annoyed Tenten.
She pointed the gun at Sakura and slowly advanced. "I didn't want to have to hurt you, Sakura. I love you, you're my sister, but when you kill Neji-kun…"
"I said I'm sorry, Tenten!" beggedSakura. "Just, calm down!"
Sakura took her phone out of her pocket and dialed Hinata's number and then hung up. She knew Hinata would follow the call.
Tenten then began to chase Sakura around the appartment.
"Tenten, don't make me kill you, too!"
Just then Hinata and Ino burst down the door and came in with huge guns.
(AN: Grrr…. Stupid Microsoft Word 97 stabs This is the third time I've had to type thise next scene!)
Okay, no they didn't. Tenten already took care of that…
Hinata walked in a screamed. "Neji-san!" She ran over to the body and began weeping over it on her knees.
Ino ran in, having heard Hinata's scream. She grabbed Tenten's wrists to keep her from shooting Sakura, who then collapsed to her knees, panting.
"Alright, what in goddamned hell is going on here?" demanded Ino.
"I didn't mean to kill—"
"FUCK YOU, BITCH! YOU KNEW IT WAS HIM! IT WASN'T AN ACCIDENT!"
"N-Neji-s-san…"
Ino sighed. "Nevermind, I'll answer that. By the looks of it, Sakura, you bit Neji and he died. Tenten found him and got so mad that she decided to kill Sakura, too. Sakura called Hinata and me for aid, and Hinata is now bawling her brains out over Neji, her now dead cousin. Am I right?"
Tenten and Sakura nodded and Hinata kept sobbing, which Ino took as a yes.
"Alright, girls, we need to accept Sakura for what she is now. Don't you see that she didn't mean to hurt Neji? To keep herself from dying, she has to kill others. Neji just happened to fall victim. We have to realize that Sakura might kill some of our loved ones, but she tries her hardest not to. We can't let her being a vampire ruin ten years of friendship between us three, alright? So, Tenten, suck it up, your boyfriend is dead. You'll find another. And Sakura, start checking who you kill and try not to kill any of the people who are close to us. And Hinata, I'm so sorry, but if you don't stop crying, you're going to loose all the water in your body and shrivel up and die."
"H-how can you say that, Ino? 'You'll find another'! Neji was one-of-a-kind!" whined Tenten, begginning to cry.
Sakura walked up and hugged Tenten. "I really am sorry, Tenten…"
Tenten hugged her back. "I am, too, Sakura-chan… I don't know what I would have done with myself if I had actually killed you…"
Ino went and tore Hinata away from Neji.
In the end, they were all sitting and crying together. How touching. (AN: Gag me…)
"Sakura," snapped Sasuke, appearing out of the shadows.
Sakura wiped her tears immediately and stood up.
"I told you three to stay away from her," Sasuke growled as he took Sakura and left.
"Sasuke!" shouted Sakura when they arrived at his appartment. "That wasn't the time to come and snatch me away! They needed me!"
"Look, Sakura, humans and vampires just can't be friends. You really need to learn that," grumbled Sasuke.
"You're just jealous because I actually have friends!"
Sasuke smirked. "No… I'm jealous because they get more love from you than I do." He pinned her against the wall with his hands and kissed her intensely.
"I want you for myself," he whispered into her ear, making her blush.
"S-Sasuke-kun…" she stammered before being captured with another kiss.
Sakura wrapper her arms around his neck and he slowly moved her away from the wall and wrapped his arms around her waist.
Sasuke pulled back with a grin on his face.
"I want to take you out somewhere," said Sasuke.
"B-but where? Anyone in their right minds would think—"
"If we dress right," Sasuke interupted, "We can look just like any normal goth."
"But where would we get the clothes and makeup?" questioned Sakura.
"I have makeup and clothes for me. I'll just go break into some store and get some for you."
Sakura frowned. "Sasuke, stealing is wrong."
"I'll leave money, then. We can't shop anywhere right now, can we?"
Sakura sighed in defeat. "I guess not…"
Sasuke smirked and kissed her again. "I'll be back soon."
After he left, Sakura sat down and watched TV. The horror movies on TV that used to frighten her now seemed like children's shows.
These wanna-be's don't even know the half of horror… she thought.
Sasuke came back with clothes for Sakura. He himself had baggy black pants with straps and buckles everywhere on them (you know, the gothic kind), a black skull shirt, and a black trenchcoat over it all. (Oh, and the black boots!)
Sakura had the same style of black pants and a skin-tight black shirt with various rips in it with black Vans (AN: like mine… 3 xD). Sasuke had also gotten her a black wig to put over her… pink… hair.
Both had the excentric goth makeup: looots of eyeliner and black lipstick.
Yup. They were ready for the goth world. And it was only 2 in the morning.
"Ready?" asked Sasuke.
"Hai, Sasuke-kun. But where are we going?"
"A concert."
"Concert?"
"Yup."
"Who?"
"Goth bands."
"I don't really like metal…"
"You will."
"How can you be so sure, Sasuke-kun?"
"You're a vampire. All vampires like this stuff," finished Sasuke and he grabbed Sakura's hand and left.
(AN: Didja follow all of that? xD)
After waiting through an hour-long line, they finally headed in. Just as Sakura had thought, the music was nausiatingly loud.
How can this be called music? she thought, It's screaming into a microphone. That requires just about as much talent as rap: none. (AN: Sorry if you like rap, I hate it. And I'm the author so I win :3)
Sakura decided to just give up hating it and eventually, since it was a four-hour concert, gave into the music. She even began head-banging with Sasuke, much to her amusement.
Even though she didn't know the words to the… er… music, like all the gothic people around her (including Sasuke), she attempted shouting along as well. That didn't last.
After a while she just decided to enjoy the time she had with Sasuke.
Afterwards, Sasuke took her out to get some pizza. (AN: Yum!) True, it didn't fill them at all, only blood did, but it still tasted good, right?
Right!
"Oh my goodness, Sasuke, it's been months since I've had pizza!" exclaimed Sakura in delight as she downed an entire pizza by herself.
"Glad you like it," he responded, smiling.
When they got home, they both crashed on the couch.
"That really was a lot of fun, Sasuke-kun," said Sakura, giggling, "Especially the concert."
"See? I told you that you'd learn to like that type of music," stated Sasuke triumphantly.
Sakura giggled again. "Yeah."
Sakura brought her on his lap and kissed her on the lips. "I love you."
"I love you, too, Sasuke-kun…"
AN: Anyone else but me notice I always end chapters with fluff? xD Anyway, I'm placing a restraining order on Iron Butterfly and Tsunade and UchihaSakura. You three are really starting to scare me hides
Once again, I am very sorry it took me so long to update! Spring break is now officially over, so I'll probably only be updating once a week or so. Just… don't kill me, okay! I'll be working on this every chance I get!
