Chapter 15: Families Reunited
Hinata was walking quietly towards her room wrapped up in her thoughts of the fact that she just told Naruto she was a vampire that she failed to see the person ahead. Hinata fell to the ground. She looked up to see Neji getting up and trying to figure out what had just happened. For the first time, Neji Hyuga was distracted and it was no one other than Tenten and her secret. It wasn't hard for him to take in for some strange reason he was just glad that she was honest with him. He was on his way back to his room when he bumped into someone and fell.
"Neji-san," Hinata said, "I-I'm so sorry!"
Neji looked up to see the navy blue haired female giving him her hand to help him up. Then something just came running back into Neji's mind and his hand when into his pocket and pulled something out. Hinata's eyes widen when she saw that it was her comb.
"Ah, Tenten told me that this was yours and I thought I should return it," Neji stated. He made no effort to further the conversation as he handed it to her.
"Y-Yes, it's the only thing I have to remind me that at one point I was human," Hinata said.
"Was human?" Neji asked.
"D-Did Tenten t-tell you!" Hinata asked.
"What you mean the vampire part?" Neji asked.
"No about the fact that we were humans at one point in our lives," Hinata said. Strangely, she didn't stutter.
"You were humans?" Neji asked slightly confused of what she was trying to tell him.
"Yes, at birth, Ino, Tenten and myself all died for reasons unknown," Hinata said, "We were then brought here and turned into vampires, t-they called it o-our r-reborn,"
"So what does the comb have to do with that?" Neji asked.
"R-Right, the c-comb was my f-father's gift to m-me and I k-kept it to r-remind me that I do have a family out there, a human family," Hinata said.
"And that family is the Hyuga?" Neji said.
"Yea," Hinata admitted.
Neji started to walk away as Hinata called to him.
"Where are you going?"
"To warn Naruto that if he hurts you, he's dead to me." Neji said.
Hinata smiled, she couldn't believe it. Neji was accepting her as she was and she was family make no mistake of it but more importantly she was his friend and she was happy that everything was cleared up, well most things were.
A/n: Okay that was just to clear up the comb and whatever right we all know that the huge reunion is between Sasuke and Itachi so let's go!
"Sasuke-kun," Sakura said as she wrapped her arms around his neck careful not hurt him with her inhuman strength.
"Hn," Sasuke replied as a playful smirk appeared on his lips. He was getting use to her appearing out of no where.
"I have a surprise for you," she whispered in his ears, "But you have to close your eyes until we get there okay… Sasuke-kun."
"Ah," he said feeling her hands placing a blindfold over his eyes.
"Taking his hands into hers, Sakura guided him to a room and she knocked on the door. A male voice answered to enter and Sasuke could feel his body get tense. The voice was somewhat familiar to him. Sakura opened the door and the couple entered. Itachi's eyes widen when he saw his younger brother. He wasn't excepting this, he figured that she would introduce them sooner or later but he always thought that it would be after the war was over. He stood up and mouthed, "What are you doing?" Sakura glared at him, her jade eyes darkening. He backed up a bit and signed in defeat.
"Sasuke-kun," Sakura said, "This is the surprise."
She removed the cloth from his eyes backing up waiting for his reaction. Sasuke was dumbfounded at the sight of the person in front of him. The air in the room because tense with the passing seconds and Itachi decided that it was time to speak.
"Sasuke," Itachi said, "Have you forgotten me already?"
"Itachi," Sasuke said his voice sounded in disbelief, "how is this possible?'
Itachi's eyes flashed by Sakura and Sasuke looked at her.
"I saved your brother by turning him into a vampire," Sakura admitted.
"How, how did this happen?" Sasuke asked turning back to his brother.
"It's a long story," Itachi said, "You have time?"
Sasuke looked at him as if he was crazy and even if he didn't, he would have made time even -if as crazy as it sounds, stop the hands of time to hear what his brother had to say.(a/n: Okay people time for a flashback and it's on Itachi POV k)
Flashback: (Itachi's POV)
It was three years ago when I was heading home after a long day at work. I was speeding noticing that it was almost midnight and I wanted to get home quickly. I removed my eyes for one moment off the road and out of nowhere, a man appeared. I swerved the car quickly and crashed into the forest. I had slammed my head against the window and was now bleeding. I got up and left the car, staggering unknowing deeper into the forest. Was becoming dizzy and fell down as my knees gave in. I faintly heard footsteps and burly saw the same man that cause the position that I was in. he had red liquid dripping from his lips and he said, "Your blood is mine now," I blacked out after that.
End Flashback
Itachi then turned to Sakura telling her that it was better if she told the rest of the story from her POV. Sakura shock her head and then looked at Sasuke. Although, the story wasn't even completed the Sasuke Unchiha was nervous. His nerves ran in and out of his mind driving him insane. Sakura placed her hand on his shoulder and said,"Sasuke-kun, please sit down." And Sasuke and won't be Sasuke if he wasn't stubborn. It came to a point to where Sakura had to force him to sit down and threaten to tie him up if he got up.
Flashback: (Sakura's POV)
I had heard the crashing of the car and the scent of blood playing on the wind. My eyes turned cold as I realized what was happening. There were humans in the area and to make maters worse, this human or humans were bleeding. I had to hurry before his blood attract I arrive to see the blacked out Itachi and one of my kind leading over to feed on what was left on his blood. The battle was too gruesome to go into details but at the same time, it was short. I looked at the lifeless vampire in front of me and then turned my attention to Itachi. I had a choice of saving him by turning him into one of our own or leaving him there to die. The choice you already know.
End Flashback:
Sasuke was still in disbelieve after hearing the story and told himself that, that could have never happen but it did. A part of him was happy to know that his brother was alive another sad because their family will never be the same again. He had spent the rest of the evening with his brother sharing the bonding feeling he had almost forgotten about his pain eating him away. He was now walking towards Sakura's room slightly smiling knowing that she was the one who saved his brother. A hint of jealously filled him as he realized that Sakura as well as the other girls will always be saving him and the boys. He entered her room to see her reading a scroll. He wrapped his arms around her waist as she said his name quietly.
"Sakura," Sasuke said.
"Yes Sasuke-kun?" Sakura asked.
"Thank you," Sasuke replied.
Sakura looked at him as she realized where he was coming from, he left the room as people or sorry vampires filed in. he looked back only once to see her sweet smile on her lips.
