The feelings that everyone gives out
Are different
Envy. Attraction. Happiness. Anger.
But what's that I detect?
Something is out of place
I turned
Other than me,
Who else is giving out--
A sense of loneliness?
I was curious
And relieved
At last, someone is feeling how I feel
I reached out my hand
Sakura raced down the streets, her hands furiously wiping the tears from her eyes. What did I do?
Then she stopped, panting and crying, in front of a shop.
"Sasuke… kun…"
Sakura closed her eyes hard, her teeth gritted, recalling what Sasuke did for her. He had saved her life. And what did she do? Snap at him. Yes, she snapped at him.
The girl adjusted the bag on her shoulders, and started to run again. I…I've troubled him…Sure… he's a vampire hunter, and he wanted to go after that vampire that had bitten me…Yes… But...
...What exactly am I pissed off about anyway? Why am I feeling so…
"GASP!"
The odd, ugly, grayish stone on the pavement had made her foot slip. Her body lost its balance, and she topped down like a stack of cards. Dust and dirt flew everywhere, and there was the sound of ---"OW!"
Blood, dark and red, was flowing from Sakura's knee. She blinked back tears that were forming-- This time, because of the pain from her knee, and also in her heart. "Sasuke… I'm sorry…" She choked.
My hand reached towards you
I smiled.
You didn't return my smile, though
Cold, hard eyes glared
And slapped my hand away
I recoiled, hurt
Sasuke closed his eyes. What is this?A pale hand clutched at his chest tightly, and his shirt became crumpled in the process.
He'd watched Sakura go, and then a strange feeling emerged in him. His chest hurt, dammit. It hurt like hell.
The weirdest thing was, the hurt wasn't that kind of physical hurt he'd endured. Physical stuff, he'd tried a lot, after being a vampire hunter all these years. Vampires are not exactly gentle creatures, after all. The hurt he felt can be considered… mental?
He was going crazy. He, Sasuke. A hunter. He felt hurt by a girl. A naïve girl who doesn't even know anything.
Sasuke shook his head furiously, his eyes still shut tight. Snap out of it…
Then suddenly his eyes opened up, and widened. I smell blood… He sniffed. Sakura's blood? The pale boy turned just in time to see a shadow leaping from the rooftop, and speeding towards the direction of the blood scent.
DAMN!
Akamaru barked, and Kiba nodded. "Still no vampire in sight, huh?"
They were patrolling a certain housing estate. It is to anyone's guess as to whose residence they were patrolling…
Kiba stopped, and so did Akamaru. "Let's take a rest there…" He pointed at a nearby bench, and Akamaru followed him as he sat down the on the wooden bench. It was silent for a while. Then Akamaru barked softly and crawled up to Kiba's lap.The dog made a cetain whimpering sound that only Kiba could understand.
"Ha… Nothing ever escapes you, huh?" Kiba said good-naturedly, patting his dog on the head. Akamaru responded by leaning on Kiba's stomach. "You know… Akamaru… I wonder what I'm really doing. I mean, even though the words that they had said made sense… But to me…" He paused. Akamaru made an "Arrrf" sound, signaling its master to continue. Kiba sighed and did.
"…But … It's a life, Akamaru…" He continued sadly.
The dog perked up immediately upon hearing Kiba's sad tone, and gave him a reassuring lick on the cheek.
Akamaru…
"I'm a vampire hunter!" He said loudly, grabbing his dog. Akamaru barked, and they set off again.
Sakura brushed the dirt off her clothes, and got up slowly. She held the wall near her for support. The blood trickled down her leg, and she wiped it before it stained her socks. "Ow…" She muttered again. "This hurts." A dirty hand reached inside the pockets, and grabbed a handkerchief. "Here goes…This will have to do for a while then…" She tied her handkerchief tightly around her wound.
Something warm grabbed Sakura's shoulder, startling her.
"You fell…?" Naruto cocked his head, his blue eyes shining, his face concerned.
"…I…" She was tongue-tied. It was already sunset, and the orange light was clearly reflected in Naruto's eyes. It was also present in Sakura's green ones.
"You… cried." He held up a hand and wiped off the tears on her face. Sakura blinked.
His act was causing something to swell up from within her… And…
Salty tears leaked out once again…
"Uh-Sakura!" Naruto gasped, thrown aback. "D-Don't cry!"
Sakura sobbed, her hands covering her face. "I-I'm sorry!" She spluttered, her head bent down, and trembling.
"You don't have to apologize… You didn't do anything." The blonde said, trying to calm her down. He looked at the stained handkerchief on her leg. Blood. He swallowed hard, feeling the usual pain in his gums. "No." He muttered softly to himself. "Don't."
The sun settled, and the sky became dark. Naruto released his hand on Sakura's shoulders. The pink-haired girl was still crying, and she turned away. "S-Sakura"— The blue eyed blonde started awkwardly. Why is she crying? Why is she upset? I want to ask, but…-- huh? He looked up, and sniffed. Then his body turned stiff, and growling would have come from his throat if he hadn't stopped himself in time. This smell. The sissy hunter and…
Sasuke stood on the strong branches of the tree, his arms crossed. Bastard vampire. "What is your purpose? Speak." He said in a low tone. The figure, a few meters in front of him, turned around. His green eyes bored into Sasuke's. …What! Another feeling swelled up in the pale boy. But he knew what it was.
Gaara licked his lips, looking at the hunter from head to toe. Then he smiled. "… A hunter. You are a hunter." He said, throwing his arms open.
"So?" Sasuke's hand clutched the stake in his pocket. His smile is…
Gaara's smile disappeared, and a certain emotion Sasuke was very familiar with replaced the emotionless glint in his eyes. It was hate. Pure, cold, yet burning hate.
The vampire hunter whipped the stake out from his pocket. "You die." He said, running towards him. Gaara dodged the stake, and glided to another branch. Sasuke glared, and ran again, yelling as he trusted the stake at Gaara's heart.
For a split second, the vampire recalled that certain scene…
"YOU'RE A VAMPIRE HUNTER, AN ENEMY OF OUR CLAN!"
Then he saw Sasuke rushing towards him, in a yell, in that very same yell…
The hatred and fury burned, but another emotion had been added. It was fear. It was fear, and sadness. Sister's going to kill me. Temari… Gaara's hand reached out and grabbed the stake.
Blood spurted out from his hand, and some of it landed on Sasuke's face.The hunter blinked in shock, and then he forcibly removed the stake from Gaara's grip, causing even more blood to spurt out. Gaara looked at the wound in his hand, opened his mouth, and started to lick it.
"…" Sasuke's eyes narrowed in disgust. He shook the stake, and poured a special white powder on the blade. Then the boy took a step forward, and stabbed again. Gaara simply ducked, but at that instance, he whispered in the boy's face, with yet another smile of his…
"You're just like me, aren't you… I do wonder when you're joining us soon."
