Chapter 3:Now Known
"So, who is he?"
"He's just a guy Ino"
"Yeah exactly"
"I don't see what the big deal is"
"The deal is that you've never looked twice at a guy; and your eyes were practically devouring him"
Sakura raised an eyebrow at the excited blonde.
"Okay, maybe not devouring, but his eyes sure were"
"What?"
"Are you blind woman? His eyes were all over you!"
Sakura blinked, and then felt a little embarrassed.
"Were they really?"
Ino nodded furiously.
"Why didn't you tell me you had a guy on your mind?"
'I did this morning, but not the same one......'
"He only turned up just after you left"
"And you had no idea who he was?"
Sakura shook her head "Nope"
"Hmm, you should dress like that more often then. A date with a guy after you've known him for only a few minutes"
"It was only coffee!"
"But it was still coffee, most dates start with coffee or the movies"
Sakura's eyes widened and Ino noticed.
"What?"
"Do you think it's simply a coincidence we're watching movies tonight?"
"What? Do you want me to buy you coffee too?" snickered Ino
"Ino be serious here! He bought me coffee and now I'm watching a movie. Is it a sign he's going to ask me to the cinema?"
Ino watched as Sakura ran around her room frantically and panicked about nothing. It was odd seeing her usually calm and collected friends running around in a frenzy.
"Sakura..."
She halted and went flying over her bed. When she recovered she poked her head over the duvet to look at Ino.
"Yes?"
"Do you like this guy?"
Sakura's eyes narrowed.
'Now that's more like it' thought Ino
"Define like"
"Do you like him enough to have another coffee with him?"
'Screw coffee, I'm going to his place tonight... Oh yeah, for coffee....'
Sakura sweat dropped. Her blood was racing. She wanted- ... no she needed to see him again; and 1am seemed too long away for her liking.
"I dunno, I guess"
Ino suddenly sprang at her "Awwww, my little Sakura's got a crush; and here I was thinking you lacked that part of them brain"
She laughed as Sakura smacked her head lightly.
"Yeah, yeah. Can we watch a movie now?"
"Sure"
"Which one?"
Ino smirked "How about Underworld?"
"Fine"
After about an hour Sakura groaned.
"Stupid vampire romance film"
"It's not that bad"
"You picked it on purpose!!"
"And what if I did?"
"You're evil, you are"
"Yes Miss. Undead"
Sakura lowered her gaze "Does that ever bother you?"
"What?"
"That I'm partly dead"
Ino laughed "It's quite weird and I know I'll never get used to the whole floating down from buildings thing, but it doesn't bother me at all"
Sakura smiled and Ino returned it.
"So, off the topic of romance, what happened in Alberta than made you run?"
"I thought we're meant to be watching a film?"
"You said you'd tell me"
"Gah!! Fine, but leave the film running, I don't want anyone eavesdropping"
Ino nodded and turned the volume up.
"Okay, well I was born in Canada in 1851, but you couldn't really tell that by my appearance. In 1870, I died"
"So your body has remained 19 years old for...138 years?"
Sakura nodded.
"Looking good for a 157 year old granny!" she snickered
"Do you want me to tell you or not?"
"Shutting up"
"Anyway, everything was a bit....frantic for a few years. I would poke a tree or a building; and it would just shatter. But I learnt to control my strength a lot quicker than my temper, which came in handy.... a lot. But one time, some asshole tried to have his way with me and well, I lost all control I had over myself. It didn't help he had a gang of like 8 people with him"
She breathed.
"I slaughtered them all. Suddenly I realised that the whole high street had witnessed what I'd done: me breaking their limbs so they couldn't run away, me ripping open their throats with my teeth, then pulling each man apart with my own hands"
She looked at Ino. Her eyes were wide and her mouth was in the shape of an 'O'.
"I couldn't go anywhere without people running and screaming. Eventually the FBI and some other people got involved, so nowhere was safe for me anymore. I was forced to run for my life; and then I finally ended up here"
Ino gawped at her.
"But that was a long time ago now. Back then I was still a newborn and very naive. I was alone and still adjusting to my life; I had no one to help me."
"What a life"
"Mhmm..."
"Hey, can I crash here tonight?"
Sakura shifted uncomfortably "Um..."
Ino sensed her doubt quickly.
"You're going to see him aren't you?!"
Slowly, Sakura nodded.
"I knew you had a thing for him" she gleamed "Where does he live?"
Sakura pointed out the window to the top flat opposite hers.
"OH EM GEEE!!! Scary much?"
She chuckled.
"What time?"
"1am"
"It's 11:45! Aren't you going to get ready?"
"I am ready?"
"Not for a date you're not!"
"Ino, he's only invited me over for coffee"
"At 1 in the morning. Yeah right, what next...flying pigs?"
"I could throw you off the balcony?"
"" she muttered sarcastically "But seriously, you need to wear something nice"
"Okay Ino, dress me up" Sakura sighed
"Good" began Ino trudging over to Sakura's new shopping bags, poured out the contents onto the bed then looked through them.
"So are you planning to seduce him, be seduced, or simply have a nice talk over coffee?"
'Be seduced, be seduced, be seduced...' her inner chanted
"Just coffee"
Ino frowned "Well it's your choice whether you jump him or not"
"Ino!!"
"Kidding, now let's get you into this" her eyes gleamed as she held the garment in her hands.
-_-_-1 hour later-_-_-
"Ino, this is hardly ideal for just coffee" groaned the pinkette as she looked in the mirror.
Ino had curled her hair, applied make-up, painted her nails, kept her cross necklace where it was along with the 'immortal' stilettos; and she had put her in a short, blood red dress.
Ino giggled "I know, I just couldn't resist"
"This is embarrassing"
"Hey its 12:50, you need to get over there!"
"Leave the door unlocked yeah?"
"Sure. So I can crash right?"
"I suppose"
Sakura walked out the door followed by Ino to the balcony. From there, they could see Itachi's dimly lit apartment.
"Are those candles?" gulped Sakura
"He so wants you" teased Ino
'And I want him too...'
But Sakura shushed her whining inner.
"Well, here I go"
Ino nodded and watched Sakura fly off her current balcony and land gracefully on the fire escape ladder a floor beneath Itachi's.
"Damn, I wish I could do that"
She then retreated back to Sakura's room where she fell asleep on the bed.
-_-_-Other Building-_-_-
"These stilettos really are invincible" Sakura admired as she climbed the ladder
"Need a hand there?"
Sakura looked up and locked gazes with Sir. Handsome himself.
Nodding, she held out her hand and gasped as he pulled her up without any struggle. He held her in his arms for a moment, looking her over.
"I thought you said you were going to wear different shoes?"
"My friend thought otherwise"
"The blonde?"
Sakura nodded.
"Did she pick this dress for you too?"
"Yeah"
"I'll have to thank her"
It was only a mutter, but Sakura heard it loud and clear.
"Are the shoes a problem?"
"Not at all. I just didn't think it would be comfortable, let alone safe climbing the fire ladder in those"
"It was quite easy really"
"If I'd of known you were actually going to climb your way up here, I would've insisted on coming and picking you up myself"
"You didn't think I'd climb?"
Itachi shook his head "I thought you were joking"
Sakura laughed "Nope"
Her eyes then fell upon his chest which was being revealed through his open white shirt.
"You look good too she mumbled
"Shall we go inside then?"
"Okay"
Itachi took her hand and led her into his apartment. It was practically identical to hers, excluding the furniture of course. On the counter, were two steaming cups.
'Is he actually serious?'
Itachi caught her surprised face.
"I made it like the one you had yesterday"
"Um....thanks"
"Something wrong?"
"No, not at all. I was just wondering; was coffee the only thing you had in mind?"
"As a matter of fact it wasn't"
She gulped "Really?"
"Yup, I made dinner too" (A/N: lol at chirpy Itachi)
She was sure her jaw hit the ground.
"Dinner?"
"You hungry?"
"A little I guess"
"Please, have a seat"
Sakura took a seat by the candle lit table and sipped her coffee. She stared into its dark depths.
"Itachi?"
"Hm?"
"Why are you doing this?"
He looked up at her "What do you mean?"
"Coffee, dinner? We haven't even known each other for 24 hours yet, I don't know if I trust you"
"Would you really be here if you didn't trust me?"
Sakura thought it over and sighed. Itachi walked over and placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Trust me, I will not harm you. I just want to show you how much I like you"
Sakura calmed herself 'Is this man for real?'
"You're sweet" she finally said
Itachi smiled "That's a good start. I hope you like pasta"
Sakura nodded.
"That's good then, because I ran out of everything else"
Itachi soon served up dinner, which throughout they talked, laughed, shared stories and Itachi had even cracked open a bottle of wine.
After a few large glasses of the wine, Sakura concluded that vampires could not hold their alcohol well. She noticed Itachi seemed well on his was to being drunk too.
Sakura hardly noticed as her leg began sliding up and down his. She only realised what was happening when Itachi grabbed her foot.
"Miss. Haruno, are you trying to seduce me?"
Sakura's mind raced back to Ino's earlier words: "Seduce him, be seduced, or just a chat over coffee"
She wanted a bit of the first two.
"Why no Mr. Uchiha, why would you think such a thing?"
"Well your heels have been running along the inside of my leg for a while now"
Sakura giggled as he traced her foot with a finger.
"Your pants felt nice against my skin"
"Did they really?"
Sakura nodded sheepishly "Uh huh"
Before she knew it, she had been pulled from her seat and was currently being carried towards the rather large couch; which had a blazing fire in front of it.
'As if things weren't hot enough...'
Looking up at Itachi, Sakura could see the fire dancing in his eyes. She could feel her pulse racing at the very sight of him.
"What're you doing?" she slurred as he placed her on the couch
Sakura let out a groan as he lowered himself onto her body. She then felt his hot breath on her ear, making her shiver and wrap her legs around his waist.
"Nothing" he teased innocently
"That sir, is a big fat lie" she giggled squeezing her legs tighter
But she threw her head back a moment later as Itachi's soft lips came in contact with her bare neck. Running her fingers through his hair, she pulled out the small hair band and watched as his hair fell loose.
'Sex God! Sex God! SEX GOD!!!!' screamed her inner
Sometimes she wondered if her inner voice was really just Ino in disguise.
"You're so handsome..." she muttered in a daze
Itachi smiled then lowered his head to her shoulder where he nibbled lightly, before biting down hard.
Sakura's eyes shot open as she felt her skin break beneath his abnormally sharp teeth. She shoved him gently, as if she thought it was just a small joke.
"What do you do, sharpen your teeth?" she giggled
Itachi raised an eyebrow at her 'wasn't expecting that reaction, just how much did she drink?'
As if to answer his own question, he caught the sight of 6 empty wine bottles on the table.
'Ah, that much' he mused
He watched as she giggled beneath his again.
"You are so drunk"
"And you're not?"
"No"
His blunt answer brought Sakura back down to earth, which also caused her to sober up immediately.
"What do you mean no?" she demanded sitting up
'That was a lot quicker than I expected of her'
"I don't get drunk so easily" he shrugged
'Something's not right here' thought Sakura as she eyed him
"Then why were you pretending to be drunk?"
"I wasn't, I was just having a good time"2
Sakura lowered her head in shame.
'I can't believe I acted like that in front of him when he was sober. I was hoping he'd forget about it in the morning from all the alcohol we drank....'
"Why do you look so sad?" came Itachi's smooth voice as he placed a finger on her chin to lift her head.
Sakura shied away, turning her head to the side.
"Sakura, what's wrong?"
"I'm embarrassed" she mumbled
"About what?"
"The fact that you're not drunk"
"What's so bad about that?"
"That I did and said all those things when you were sober. I would've preferred you drunk"
"Why?"
"So you would forget about it"
She felt him bring her into his arms, where he stroked her hair softly.
"Why would I want to forget anything about you?"
"That is so incredibly cheesy!"
She felt him grin against her face.
"I know"
Sakura smiled and snuggled against his chest.
"You should sleep"
"Are you sure?" she yawned as she looked into his eyes
Itachi nodded "I'll get you something to change into"
"Okay"
Sakura lay wandered over to the bed and lay down with her arms above her head. She had suddenly become incredibly tired after she looked into his eyes; she could already feel her eyelids drooping. She felt him sit on the bed beside her and kiss her forehead lightly.
"Here's a shirt and some shorts"
"Change me" she cooed
"Pardon?" stuttered Itachi
He hadn't been expecting that.
"I feel too tired to move, can you change my clothes...please?"
She looked at him through half lidded eyes, her lips were parted and her chest was rising and falling rhythmically.
'Maybe I shouldn't have made her look into my eyes, she's delusional already'
But Sakura was far from delusional; she was just extremely drunk and lustful.
"But what about your underwear?"
"Be a man Itachi, you're what, 22?"
"21" he corrected
"Even better"
Itachi sighed before lifting up one of her legs and removing her shoe; and the other one. He then slipped on the shorts under her dress, ignoring her protests about underwear. Slowly, he unzipped her dress and slid it off her.
Confirming his assumptions about her being braless, he strained his eyes to look away, but found he couldn't. Biting down on his lip hard, he managed to distract himself long enough to pull the shirt over her head.
"Where're you sleeping?" she muttered
"Wherever you want me to sleep"
"Here...please"
Itachi nodded and want to remove his shirt, but a hand stopped him.
"Hm?"
"Allow me"
Next thing he knew he was being straddled.
"I thought you were too tired to move?" he watched as she undid the first button
"I found some energy"
When Sakura reached the last button, her hand brushed against his muscular stomach, just above the waistband of his boxers. She heard a low growl from his throat as she ran her finger along the waistline again. Noticing how Itachi threw his head back, she grinned and slowly ran her hands up his chest to his shoulders, where she pushed the shirt away.
Itachi felt his muscles tense under the pinkette's light touch as her small fingers traced the outlines of his abs.
'God her touch feels so good'
But his breath really hitched as he felt her soft, plump lips on his neck; and he noticed how she had neatly placed her firm behind atop his clothed groin.
Even the tiniest of movements sent waves of pleasure throughout his body, and Sakura did not fail to notice this either. Pressing her legs tightly around his waist, she slowly moved up his body to place her lips on his ear.
Nibbling lightly, she earnt a low grunt from Itachi. Biting gently got her a semi-loud moan. But as she sucked on his ear lobe, she was suddenly thrown down on the bed; her legs still wrapped around Itachi's waist, but now he was atop her.
Smirking down at her, Itachi took both of her hands in one of his; and placed them above her head.
"Sa-Ku-Ra"
"Yes?"
"You're overdressed"
Sakura looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"But I'm only in shorts and a shirt"
"Exactly"
She didn't have time to register what was happening until after Itachi has removed her shorts. Her stared down at her lacy crimson pants and hooked a finger under the waistband.
"These simply have to go" he stated
Somehow, Sakura freed one of her hands and grabbed hold of his.
"Not yet they don't"
Sakura could clearly see the lust raging in his eyes, which suddenly made her want to seize control of this situation. Leaning up, Sakura placed her lips on Itachi's neck and bit down, a little harder than she intended to.
She felt refreshed as Itachi's warm blood flowed down her throat. She hardly noticed as they both groaned out in satisfaction.
Taking a deep breath she didn't really need, Sakura reluctantly let go of Itachi's neck and looked up at him from his chest.
'Now he'll do anything I tell him' she thought 'I haven't had this much fun in ages'
"Itachi, love, tell me your deepest, darkest secret"
Her eyes widened as he remained where he was, his eyes still on her and his mouth shut. She found it hard to keep eye contact when she could smell the blood dripping from his neck down his torso.
"I said tell me"
Itachi smirked at her and leaned closer, noses centimetres apart.
"You have no control over me"
"What? Why not?" she raged
In less than a second, Itachi had her bent over the table, his chest atop her back, his breath in her ear.
"Because, you can't control those of your kind who are stronger than you"
Dun dun duuuuuunn lol so we found out a bit in this chapter: Sakura's past, her age, she can control people once she's bitten them and Itachi's eyes can hypnotize a willing heart. Lol. If you didn't notice that bit then it's here for you anyways lol. Hope you all like, I'm working on the 4th chapter right now. Reviews shall be rewarded with cuddles ^.^
