Naruto was waiting in the elevator. Why did Sasuke have to live on the top floor? He mumbled something to himself before stepping out and made his way to the door.
"Sasuke," Naruto said, his eyes glazed with some anger mixed with confusion. He walked into the apartment and closed the door behind him. Sasuke yawned and sat on the couch. Naruto stood.
"Hn," Sasuke nodded his head. He could tell his best friend was troubled but it didn't really seem to bother him.
"Why didn't you let me kill her?" His fist crunched into a ball.
Sasuke nodded again, looking at the television. Again, he paid no heed.
"Are you even listening to me?!" Naruto yelled. This was weird for him. Sasuke never questioned his kills; he always went along with them. Why did Sakura have to be any different? Her scent wouldn't leave him and he was getting quite agitated. He had never backed down on a kill. This was a totally new sensation. A bad one.
He needed her.
Sasuke nodded again, his eyes not jeering from his show.
"Sasuke!" Naruto sat down beside him and grabbed his collar. Sasuke's eyes suddenly gleamed a new emotion. He hated being grabbed. His eyes jeered towards his best friend. "I've never been stopped by you before." Naruto whispered.
Sasuke stayed silent, his eyes glazed into Naruto.
"Let me tell you now." He tightened his grip, making sure as to pester Sasuke even more. "When I want something...I get it."
Naruto glared at him for a few seconds before letting go and leaving.
Bastard.
Sasuke smirked.

"Ino," She was crying again. Ino sighed deeply, understanding exactly what was going on. Sakura grasped the receiver tightly in her palm.
"Come over, Hun." Ino replied, trying to smile.
Sakura tried to stop crying but the tears kept coming. She hiccupped, muttering a thank you to her friend and hanging up the phone. She rushed to the bathroom, looking at herself in the mirror. Her cheek was a deep red but she realized that it always went away in a few minutes.
Dammit.
She washed her face of the dead tears and stepped out, only to be faced with her father. She sighed and looked him straight in the eye.
"I'm going out." She said briefly.
Her father smiled and took another drag of his cigarette. "Okay." He leaned in towards her face. He smelled of cheap cologne and smoke. Sakura couldn't take it anymore. She angrily stepped aside and ran to the door.
He turned around angrily. "Sakura," he slurred, his voice calm yet expecting. She knew what this meant. The tone. The tone told a thousand stories.
She sighed again, forcing away her tears, and turned to him. It was a must. It was compulsory. "I love you, Daddy. Bye."
--
You're strong…
And I love that…
Almost as much…
As I love you…
"What happened this time?" Ino hissed, patting Sakura's back in dismay. She was hunched over, facing the television. She didn't really want to talk about it.
Ino suppressed a sigh and leaned back into the couch. "I hope he didn't-"
"No..." she murmured. Her father would never do that. He would never. Would he?
"I don't understand why you're still living with that ignorant man." Ino huffed, crossing her arms and looking down at her feet. How could someone so smart be so stupid?
"He's usually a nice guy and you know that, Ino. It's only when he drinks..." Sakura drifted off, watching as the boy in the television grasped the ladies waist and brought her into a kiss.
She felt so lonely.
"Yeah, but he drinks all the time now."
"Well, that's only cause..." She pursed her lips. "Cause..."
"I'm sorry," Ino said quickly, covering up her mistake. "I didn't mean to bring that up."
"It doesn't matter. My mom was a," she averted her eyes to the ground. "She was a bad person."
Ino shifted in her seat, feeling a bit awkward in this situation. She knew how much Sakura hated talking about her mother. Who could blame her? She did walk out, just a year ago. It seemed like just yesterday, when Sakura arrived at her door, nose and eyes blistering red and tears quickly rolling down her cheeks.
"Anyways, my dad is all I have left. Even though," she sighed. "He may hurt me, sometimes."
"Well, that still doesn't explain," Ino shuddered angrily. "It still doesn't explain why he touches you."
"He's drunk." Sakura said angrily. He wasn't a bad man. He wasn't. He had given her everything she had wanted. Sakura just thought of this as a phase. He was just taking it all out on her; his hurt, his pain and his anger.
Ino shook her head and then shrugged. She just couldn't understand. Being drunk was not an excuse.
"May I-"
"You can stay the night." Ino smiled, finally answering the question she had been waiting for.
"Thanks." Sakura said, laughing a bit. "You always know."
"Of course. It's my job." She started looking around for the phone, a small smile curling up on her face. The image of two boys filled her mind. "Now let's see if we can get the guys to come over too."
"It's always the guys!" Sakura snorted, shaking her head. Ino had always been like that.
"Yeah…but-"
"Ino. You're desperate." she sighed.
"No, I'm not."
"Okay, whatever. Call them, but we're going shopping tomorrow and they're not coming."
---
Now hold me…
Please hold me…
And wipe away my tears…
"No." Sasuke said gruffly into the phone. He rolled his eyes as Ino began to mutter something boring to him.
Blah…blah…blah…
Naruto came sauntering from the kitchen, with a beer in his hand and cocked his head at Sasuke, who was now yawning loudly.
"Who is it?" he asked, taking a long drink.
Sasuke handed him the phone and shoved his hands in his pockets.
Naruto smiled ecstatically. "Sure, we'll come over Ino."
Sasuke snarled and then rolled his eyes again.
"Go alone." Sasuke hissed, as Naruto put the phone down. Naruto shrugged, showing that he really didn't care this time and left. Sasuke sighed, his eyes turning to the window. His mind rushed to those sad memories of his past.
Naruto froze the moment the door opened. His eyes widened as Sakura smiled at him, gesturing for him to come in. He tensed, her scent filling his nose.
"Are you going to come in?" she smiled.
He made his hand into a fist and squeezed, trying to force out any feeling. He tried not to breath. Slowly, he walked into the room, his face still tensed and flabbergasted. He had the sudden urge to pounce on her and he was trying his best to hold it in.
This had never happened before.
"Sa...ku...ra." he said through gritted teeth. She raised an eyebrow before leaning in close to see if he was okay.
"You okay, Naruto?" she inquired.
He didn't have his fangs. It was 4:00 pm and the sun was shining. If he wanted to kill her, he would have to kill her with an object. But if he killed her, Ino would be witness to it. His best chance was to grab something and kill them both. First starting with Ino and then inch in towards Sakura. She would probably be too scared to move. However, he would have to be fast. Girls sometimes had the courage to fight back, and if he took too long, she might scream and alert the other residents of the apartment.
"Naruto?"
He snapped out of his trance.
Better not take the risk. He would have to wait till nightfall.
"I...I have to go." he said quickly, deciding to take the easy way out. Then he ran. She had really gotten to him, and he had to end this misery soon.

Truth is painful…
But your love is so pure…
Sasuke was roaming the streets mindlessly again. He had already eaten and he had found himself gawking at the building where Sakura worked. He sighed, looking around to see if anyone was there and then looked up to the pitch black sky. His mind traced back to his childhood and he frowned to himself as the memories came to life.
The man tightened his grip on Sasuke's shoulder. Sasuke winced, now gazing up at the sky.
"You're different." The man said, his onyx eyes piercing into his son. Sasuke's lips formed a thin line, and a drop of sweat slowly fell down the side of his forehead. "I'm so sorry…" He drifted off, his hand still firmly grasped to Sasuke's shoulder.
Sasuke turned to him, his eyes fierce. "How dare you…" he paused. "How dare you make me one of you."
"I had no choice." His father protested. "You know that. I told you the time would come."
Sasuke freed himself and stared deep into his father's kind eyes. "I hate you." He sneered, taking a few steps back. His father shook his head sadly, his lips forming a frown.
"I hate you!" Sasuke looked away angrily, continuing to slowly step back. "How could you?"
"You're nineteen, son. You knew the time was coming. Your brother-"
"My brother is gone! He's disappeared! All because of you!" Sasuke yelled, now meters away from his father.
"He made the wrong choice Sasuke and you know that. Let me teach you, let me-"
"No!"
Sasuke returned back to reality. He shifted his weight and stuffed his hands into his pockets, forcing his mind to other things. He slowly began to walk away when the door of the building opened and Sakura came stumbling out confused. She paused and then sauntered over. "Sasuke?"
Sasuke's eyes widened but he knew that in order to get out of this mess, he had to stay calm.
"What are you doing here?" she smiled, checking her watch. "And so late too."
He gave a disgusted frown and began to walk away. Of course, he expected Sakura to follow and she did.
"You could walk me home." She smirked, trying to get him to look at her. He kept his distance. She wondered why he was acting so odd. Usually, he would glance over or something of that sort. Nothing this night.
"Hn," he sneered, forgetting that his voice was different. Sakura didn't seem to notice.
"Why did Naruto leave so quick today? He did tell you, didn't he? It was so strange."
Again, silence.
Teasingly, she stepped in front of him and he stopped abruptly. He looked up and she saw his eyes.
Sakura's mouth began to drop but she shook it off and said nothing. His eyes were a reddish color and his face was paler than ever. Her heartbeat slowly picked up it's pace and for some odd reason; she didn't quite feel like she was safe. She stepped back beside him and walked a bit ahead; she would rather be alone. It didn't really seem like a coincidence that he was standing exactly outside her building at the exact time she got off work.
Sasuke noticed her fear and he kind of smirked at how stupid she was.
He thought he had heard some rustling behind him but thought of it only as a cat.
Suddenly, he felt himself get pushed up against a wall and when he opened his eyes, he wasn't surprised to see Naruto's eyes fiercely staring at him.
"I told you she was mine." He whispered angrily. Sasuke's eyebrows furrowed.
Sakura whipped her head around and stumbled backwards.
"N-Naruto?" Sakura stuttered in confusion.
Naruto looked back at her for a second who gave Sasuke enough time to free himself and grab his collar. Naruto began to struggle, and pushed out of Sasuke's grasp, now turning towards Sakura.
She gawked at them, not being able to understand what was happening. She wanted to run but she knew they were her friends. But what were they doing here so late at night? She gripped her cellphone in her pocket and took in a deep breath.
Sasuke acted fast. He grabbed Naruto's shirt and began to run; Naruto stumbling backwards and staring directly at her. She stared in absolute wonder at the speed and accuracy of how the raven haired boy ran.
Naruto let out a wretched yell, his mouth opening wide. Sasuke picked up his speed, only determined to get them away.
And then she saw the fangs.
When I look at you…
I see love…
