It started to happen…

The killing…

The pain…

The hatred…

Sasuke made sure he wasn't seen. He pushed himself back against the wall and held his breath. Quickly, he crept over to the door and leaned in to see what was happening.

"No!"

"Itachi!" his father bellowed. Sasuke winced, his body tight.

"Father, please. Please."

"It's tradition, Itachi. You are nineteen years of age."

"I don't want to be apart of your stupid tradition!"

There was a sound of a glass shattering. Sasuke backed away and looked out the window; the pale moon glowing.

"Itachi!"

"I said…I don't want to be apart of your stupid tradition!"

"Please, brother," Sasuke mumbled under his breath. "Do what he says."

Sasuke shut his eyes.

"I guess I have no choice, son."

One.

A broken glass.

Two.

A call for help.

Three.

A piercing scream.

"It's been a while since we've hunted together." Naruto slurred, his hand tightly gripped to a knife. He smirked slightly and cocked his head at Sasuke, quickly dropping the knife into his sleeve.

Sasuke looked away from the window and then at the tiled floor. "Let's go."

The second they got outside, both picked up speed and began to run south. As if knowing what he wanted, Sasuke slowed the second he smelled something familiar in the air. The scent was distinguishable and he guessed Naruto would stop and smell it too. He looked over to his blonde haired apprentice and smirked, as he was indeed sniffing the air.

"This way." The blonde pointed. He swiftly ran to a far building just ahead. Sasuke followed silently, as if he was walking on clouds. Naruto stopped abruptly, as Sasuke walked up behind. He peered out behind the building and then turned to his partner, a smile on his face. "A woman; about in her twenties. She looks… delicious." He whispered. "And she's pretty hot too."

Sasuke rolled his eyes and then signaled for Naruto to go. He shook his head slowly. "You do it this time. You're faster than I am, and I'm starving."

Sasuke slowly crept out the side of the building and took a look at the lady. She was tall and slender, her clothes short and tight and she carried a massive bag on her arm. He couldn't see much of her face in the dark but he knew she'd be easy kill. He walked up behind her, careful not to be loud and took a quick glance at the moon. A crescent. A car passed by, shining lights on the girl and he caught a glimpse of her face. Her hair was tied in an annoyingly ugly bun but she was pretty nonetheless. He stopped in his tracks. There was something else. Something else in this girl. It wasn't uncommon, he had seen this color many times before but something about it made him stop. Her hair was red. A light red. Sort of resembling pink.

A sudden flash of Sakura came to mind. Her words. His lies. Sakura.

He snapped out of his trance as the girl in front of him, made a soft cry and then fell to the floor with a loud thud.

"You were taking too long." Naruto hissed, crouching over. "I know she was pretty but god, you didn't have to take years."

Naruto dug his fangs into her, a sudden rush of adrenaline pumping through him. He hadn't had human in a long time, after all. And as he ate, he took no notice to Sasuke, who was just standing at his side, watching him.

Sasuke waited till Naruto finished and then began running towards the forest. His stomach growled and he was desperate for some blood. He had gone without it for a week now and it was about time he tasted some again.

Forget human, animal was easier to find and he was desperate.

"You're going too fast!" he heard Naruto call, but he paid no heed. His speed only increased and finally, in the middle of nowhere, he stopped.

He wanted something big, maybe a bear or a wolf to eat tonight. He sniffed around and then looked forward. He smelled an elk a distance ahead and got on his knees. Naruto stopped beside him and crouched also. Sasuke ran forward, Naruto following behind, and jumped for the animal. The elk jumped at the sudden attack, sending Sasuke flying to a near-by tree. Naruto observed not too far ahead. He got up and rushed for it again, giving him a series of punches. Suddenly, there was a sharp pain at his leg; followed by the feeling of something pressing on to the spot he was injured. It began to burn and he let out a gasp of pain. This had never happened before. As if a reflex, his leg twitched and he jolted forward. The pain in his leg was unbearable. It felt as if it was on fire. The elk continued to jump, trying to get Sasuke off him. He shut his eyes and dug his fangs into the vicious animal to end it's life.

Finally, it slowed jumping and toppled to the floor. Sasuke opened his eyes and looked down at his wound. There was a deep gash and he kneeled to his leg to observe it carefully. The burning sensation was dying down but he could still feel it, as if encrusted under his skin. Naruto ran over to him.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" he panted. Sasuke looked up and noticed his hand was all bloodied. "If it wasn't for me, you could have been killed!"

Sasuke could barely remember Naruto coming in to help him. He stood slowly, the sensation in his leg now completely gone and walked over to the elk. He stared at it carefully, wondering how this animal could have such immense strength.

"How's your leg?" Naruto asked, worried. Sasuke gave a quick nod and then looked back down at it. He rolled his pants up to his knee and brushed his finger across the scar. Letting out a sigh of relief, Naruto backed away, allowing his friend to eat without any disturbance.

And I fought…

Fought hard…

"Good morning!" Sakura smiled, opening his door and sitting down in front of Sasuke with her morning coffee. He glanced at her slightly, and then looked over at his television.

There was a pause.

She furrowed her eyebrows together and began to pick restlessly at the covering of her cup. She felt awkward and especially stupid that she could think that Sasuke would now act different with her. She looked up to see him staring directly at her and she gave him a small smile. He cocked his head slightly and grabbed the remote, onyx still locked with emerald green.

"Morning." He said mysteriously; his voice low yet considerate.

"What's your plan for today?"

"I don't know. Maybe apply somewhere, for a job."

"How about University?" She paused. "Oh…wait… you don't go to University, do you."

He looked outside. "I got my education a long time ago."

"Yeah, are you ever going to tell me how old you are?" she smiled again and Sasuke couldn't help but smirk at her comment.

"Never."

"Bastard."

"Hn," He pushed the remote aside. "Don't you have school today?"

"Yeah, in a few hours. It's a short seminar today." She smiled. "School is so boring."

He nodded as she got up and sat down beside him. He looked over at her and then back at the TV. Teletubbies was on and he felt quite annoyed by their gibberish. He switched the channel.

"What's this?" She raised an eyebrow and slowly reached over to his calf. Her hand brushed up against his leg, pushing his shorts up to reveal his scar. He looked away, at the touch of her hand. "When did this happen?"

"Yesterday."

She gasped, running her fingers around it. He couldn't ignore the warmth of her skin compared to his. Always cold. He always felt…cold. "How?"

"Hunting."

She smirked. "Wow, I wish I could come hunting with you. Does it hurt?"

The last thing he wanted was her to go hunting with them. She wasn't ready to handle the truth.

He shook his head and she leaned in towards him. "Take me with you?" She widened her eyes and pouted her lips creating a face similar to a puppy. Unfortunately, he found it pretty cute.

"No." he said, pushing away from her and getting up to the kitchen. She followed behind and grabbed his hand.

"Be careful out there." She said, her eyes downcast.

He tightened his grip on her hand and then let go. She sighed and turned away from him.

"I'm going." She called softly, obviously disappointed.

"Come back tonight." Sasuke yelled.

Sakura's mood lifted and a small smile crept on her face. "After work. Wait for me, I'll come."

To tell you I love you…

Again…

"Did you do it?"

"Yes." He whispered, making sure no one around could hear him. The sunlight blinded him and he reached into his pocket and pulled out his sunglasses.

"Good."

"Now what?" he fingered the cross around his neck and got off the bus. "I don't know why you wanted me to do that so badly."

"For now, don't do anything."

Confused, he ran his fingers through his blonde hair and sighed.

"Oh…" Sasuke mumbled, when Naruto walked into his apartment.

"What? Were you expecting Sakura?" His smile lingered as he took a seat on the couch. "I have a day off today."

Sasuke nodded and sat down beside him. He passed his beer over to the blonde and he gratefully accepted it, taking a long sip.

"How's the scar?"

Sasuke lifted his shorts, exposing the rash and gave a childish smile. "It's kind of cool looking."

Naruto laughed. "I guess, a bit."

"Naruto…" Sasuke's smirk wiped off his face as he leaned back into the couch. "I've been having this feeling lately."

"Oh…" Naruto grew silent. "Again."

"Yeah. I always trust what they have to say."

"Yes, I know that. What's it telling you?"

"Well, I'm not sure this time but I think something bad is going to happen." Onyx met cerulean. His eyes were hard and fierce in comparison to Naruto's glass like orbs. "We should be careful."

"Do you think it's worse than the last time?"

"Far worse. I think it's time we migrated."

Naruto crossed his arms. "Aw man, I was starting to finally like this place."

Sakura quickly came into mind but Sasuke shook it off. "I'll think about it."

"You're a worry wart." Naruto pushed, smiling widely.

"And you're an idiot." Sasuke grinned and held out his fist. Naruto gave him props and then grabbed the remote.

"True, but what the fuck would you do without me?"

You cried…

Too many times…

But it gets the best of you…

It always gets the best of you…

And I'm sorry…

"Sasuke?" Sakura yelled as she walked into his apartment. "Why the hell don't you lock your door?" She mumbled.

He walked out in vampire form, holding a can of pop. He smirked when he saw her and handed her the coke. She pushed it back to him.

"What did you want to see me for?" She raised a brow and waited.

Sasuke opened the door and walked out, Sakura obviously following behind. "I want to show you something."

"Oh, where is it?"

"It's a bit far, so we're going to have to run." His voice was raspy, but he was trying his best not to slur his words.

Sakura backed up. There was no way in hell she was going to run with him again. "No."

"Scared?"

"Hell yes! I almost died last time."

Sasuke rolled his eyes and reached for her arm. "Come on."

She whimpered before climbing on his back and then signaled for him to go.

"Just close your eyes." He whispered, and she tightened her grip on him.

He started off with a jog and then quickly sped up.

Sakura held her breath and before she knew it, she had fallen on the ground, with him looking down at her. "We're here."

The world began to spin and she drifted off into her own melodic world. She widened her eyes and suddenly, all she could see was the stars in the sky. She sat up, looking around for Sasuke, who was sitting down beside her.

She took a glance around her surroundings and couldn't help but smile. There she was sitting not too far from a small lake and passed the water she saw the lights of the city shining brightly. The moon looked as if it was split in half and the stars complimented the sky.

"It's amazing." She said in awe. "How'd you find it?"

He shrugged. "I don't know. You find a lot of things when you're hunting out at night."

Sakura stood and walked over to the water. She slipped off her shoes and dipped her feet in it. It was cold but she liked the feeling. "I'm getting used to your running."

He walked up behind her and nodded. She turned around and stepped closer, their bodies only a few centimeters apart. She got up on her toes to kiss him but he moved his head away just before she could. He tucked his hands in his pockets and took off his shoes as well.

"You know, we are capable of eating human." He gulped, his eyes shifting over to her. She smiled.

"I thought so. I knew some of the things in movies must be real."

"Sometimes we're tempted to-"

"Have you ever been tempted to suck on my blood?" She grinned mischievously, grasping her neck playfully.

"Do you want me to be completely honest?" He cocked his head at her, his eyes growing playful aswell.

"Shut up!" She laughed, pushing him to the side. He sniggered, rushing back over to her, purposely kicking some water on her pants.

She laughed and then struck him a hard glare. "I'll get you for that."

He smiled and then sat down on the sand. Sakura knelt down beside him and began piling the sand on top of each other. "Sasuke…" she eased, concentrating hard on her sand mush.

"Hn?" he said, looking up at the stars in his own thoughts of his past.

She took a breath. "What if I became a vampire?"

He frowned suddenly. He knew it was to good to be true. He knew she would ask this sooner or later.

She turned to him and grabbed his hand. "Make me one." Her eyes glowed with excitement. "I want to be like you."

He slowly turned to her, anger rising. Why didn't anybody understand? "No."

"Please." She pushed her knees to his leg. "I think it'd be-"

"It's not a game, Sakura." His voice grew inflexible.

"I know that."

"No!" He yelled.

"Sasuke…"

He looked at her and softly brushed his fingers over her lips. She looked down at their hands and sighed.

"…no." he whispered. He didn't want her to suffer. He didn't want her hurt. "Trust me."

Suddenly, Sasuke jumped into his arched position. He pushed Sakura behind her and began to hiss angrily towards the grass. Sakura heard a soft buzz become louder and louder. She drew close to him, her heart beating. She tried to look at where the noise was coming but there was nothing. What was it?

Sasuke picked her up and placed her on the branch of a near-by tree. The second he got down, there was loud smacking noise and she saw Sasuke fly a few meters back. She gasped, holding on to the branch. There was someone gripping his collar.

Sasuke's eyes shot open at the familiar scent.

"Long time no see, Sasuke."

When your porcelain is broken…

You have to live it…

Love it…

Become it…

Because it's who you are my darling…

It's who you are…
