Forbidden Fruit
Sakura pulled up to her house and stopped. She got out slowly and looked up at the now dark sky. The clouds prevented the sight of the moon and she walked into the house hearing voices. She threw her stuff in the kitchen and walked into the living room.
"Tsunade" Sakura said shocked. The blonde sat on the couch with her father and it seemed she had just interrupted a conversation. "Um what are you doing here?" she asked sitting down in one of the free chairs.
"Oh she was just here asking about Gaara apparently he's missing. Have you heard anything Sakura?" Kakashi asked.
She shook her head and then stood. "I'm going to go to bed now" she said nervously. Kakashi nodded and Sakura left the room, she grabbed her things and ran upstairs. She closed her eyes and threw her bag and slumped to the ground.
It wasn't fair, why was everything about him? She stood up and went wide eyed, there Gaara stood right in front of her. "What are you doing here?" she whispered, "Your mom is looking for you"
"So?" he said simply. "I need a picture of you and your mother" he said trying to get off the subject.
Sakura just stared at him, "Why?"
"It's what Tsunade wants; she wants to see who your mother is. So can I have one?"
"I only have one" she crossed her arms over her chest and glared up at him.
"I promise to bring it back undamaged" Gaara told her.
"And I should trust you why?"
"Well why shouldn't you trust me?"
"Because you're a butt" Sakura huffed turning away from him. Gaara smirked and held in a laugh.
"Please," he said from right beside her ear. "I promise to bring it back; it would really help Tsunade more than you know. And I'll bring it back before you go to sleep tonight" he assured.
Sakura took a deep breath and walked over to her bed side table. She opened the drawer and pulled out a frame. She walked back over to him and handed the photo of her and her mother to him. He stared at it for a long time and then looked back at Sakura.
"Thanks, I'll be back" he promised and he was gone. Sakura sighed; she was not used to this. "I'm just going to take a shower" she groaned and grabbed her towel.
-
"I got the photo Tsunade," Gaara said handing it to her. Tsunade took the photo and stared at it, looking for a hidden meaning. She went wide eyed and dropped the photo. Gaara grabbed it before it hit the ground and looked at her horrified face.
"You have to kill her Gaara," she said with trembling hands.
"WHAT?!" Gaara yelled back outraged.
"You can't allow her to live. She's dangerous and she doesn't even know it. You have to kill her and soon,"
"Why?" he asked. "I can't kill her I love her" he said almost pained.
"Gaara I knew her mother, she was my best friend . . . when I was still human" she said holding her hand to where her heart should be.
"But," Gaara stopped and stared at the photo. "That was 547 years ago, it isn't possible" he looked back up at her.
"Her name was Mitsukai and she was the most beautiful person I had ever met. She was my best friend but I always thought there was something wrong with her because she was just too kind and caring it didn't seem human" she placed a pale hand over her eyes and took a deep breath.
"When I was bitten and disappeared, everyone I knew was looking for me. When I was finally able to control myself I wanted to tell my best friend what had happened to me. I thought she would understand but when I went to see her I was shot with a white arrow that scarred my skin," Tsunade said painfully feeling a spot on her shoulder.
"I saw her and for some reason I was not surprised, she had the whitest wigs I had ever seen. It was almost too obvious, I should have guessed it before then but she knew what had happened, she had a new arrow ready to shot but she held it. She said to me 'I'm sorry I couldn't protect you Tsunade. You were my best friend and I couldn't save you' I saw her cry and then she shot but it flew right past me killing the vampire that had turned me"
"She told me to leave and never come back and if she ever saw me again she would kill me for sure. When I came across the sea I was sure I would never see her again but I had just turned you and your brother before you two died. It had been at least 326 years but we met again, I didn't know how Angels of death aged or how they worked but she tried to kill me"
"I got away but by the next time I had heard of her a werewolf and vampire had teamed up to destroy her. They succeeded" Tsunade said painfully.
"Its how they work, they are unbelievably desirable to us and werewolves. I had no idea she found a human before she was killed but Sakura is almost the spitting image of her it's only a matter of time before her humanity is severed in half by her mother's blood. You must kill her!" she said seriously.
"I won't do it" he said before disappearing with the photo. Tsunade stared out into the distance and looked up at the now crying sky. "Please Mitsukai; don't let her inherit your job" Tsunade said sadly pulling out a locket that was in her pocket.
"Even though our lives were forced against each other . . . you will always be my best friend" Tsunade said sadly opening the silver charm to reveal a picture of Tsunade and the pinked haired girl smiling wildly.
-
Sakura walked out of the bathroom and into her room, drying her hair and stopped seeing the photo sitting on the bedside table. Sakura looked around in every place she thought he could be hiding but found him no where. She hummed to herself as she dressed for bed and switched the lights off.
"Night mom" she whispered and turned to her side and fell asleep.
Sakura's Dream . . .
"Tsunade! I can't believe it! Dan proposed to you! Aren't you excited?" Sakura's mother smiled to Tsunade.
"I couldn't be happier Mitsukai!" Tsunade cheered and Mitsukai hugged the blond in a tight embrace. "I can't believe that I'm getting married" she misled.
Mitsukai smiled back and brought out a small present. Tsunade stared wide eyed at the gift and back up at Mitsukai, "It's a birthday/engagement present. I had it custom made," she said happily.
Tsunade took the girt and unwrapped it; she then opened the box to see a locket inside. "Mitsukai," Tsunade whipped her eyes with her free hand. "It's so pretty" she said opening it and seeing the black and white photo of the two.
"Thank you so much!" Tsunade cried hugging her friend once again. She reached her hand behind her and clipped the necklace together and let it hang loosely around her neck.
Mitsukai held up an identical locket and smiled, "So they're kind of like friendship bracelets but you know necklaces" she laughed and put her own on.
-
Mitsukai screamed thrashing around in her empty house. "WHY!?" she screeched at the top of her lungs. White feathers covered the floor and some had drops of blood on them. "Why did this happen to her?! WHY!?" she yelled again falling to her knees and crying.
"Tsunade! I'm sorry! I'm so sorry" she fell forward and lay on the ground her vision blurred by her tears. "Why couldn't I save you Tsunade? Why can't I be good enough for once? When the most important person in my life needs me . . . I let her down" she whispered.
Hours went by and finally the pink haired angel sat up. "I shall set you free Tsunade. I won't let this evil take you" Mitsukai stood and grabbed the bow that lay on the ground a ways away.
-
"Mitsukai?" Tsunade stared wide eyed at the girl with pink hair and white wings. "Mitsukai something happened to me and I've become this disgusting thing-"
"I know Tsunade" Mitsukai interrupted.
"What?" Tsunade stared in disbelief.
"I know what happened to you Tsunade and I'm sorry. My job was to kill those things and I failed and it cost me you. I'm so sorry that I couldn't save you. You were my best friend and I couldn't save you. I'm so sorry" she cried and pulled out a white arrow.
She pulled back on the string and tears fell from her face hitting the ground in loud splats. Mitsukai stared at the locket around Tsunade's neck and hesitated. She turned the bow a bit and shot and the light blinded the whole scene.
Sakura shot up breathing hard; she looked around at her surrounding. She was in her room, her dark room. Sakura threw off her covers and grabbed the coat that was sitting in the chair. She put it on and opened her window crawling out of the small space and sitting on the cold roof.
It was a nice relieve from her room that reminded her of her dream. How was that possible, Tsunade and her mother couldn't have known each other. The surroundings were from hundreds of years ago too, her mother died when she was 37. Nothing made sense and Sakura held her head in her hands.
"You ok?" she heard the familiar voice she would never again admit was relaxing.
"Why can't you just leave me alone?" Sakura groaned looking up into the pale green eyes of Gaara.
"What do you mean?" he asked trying to look innocent.
"Every time I want to get close to you, you push me away. You're only making it harder for me to have to go through that every time you're sweet and romantic like this" she sighed and leaned against the house.
"Romantic?" he questioned with smirk.
"Yes, I find stalking romantic in a creepy way, but you're a vampire so you're supposed to be creepy" she replied.
Gaara lost his smirk and only gazed at her, "How can you be so relaxed knowing the truth. That I could kill you any moment"
"Death is only the end of ones mortal life," Sakura pointed out.
"What about all the people that would miss you?" Gaara asked tracing her hand with one of his fingers.
Sakura scoffed and looked at him doubtfully, "Like whom? My dad?" she asked sarcastically.
"And me" he said softly.
Sakura was caught off guard by that and snatched her hand away from him. "You see you can't DO that! It's not fair my heart can't take break after break no matter how many time you-"
She was silenced by his cold lips. Everything around her dissolved and it was only her and him. She kissed him back and snaked her hand around his neck trying to pull him closer.
It almost seemed like she was loosing all sense of anything. He moved away from her lips and to her jaw. Soon he was by her neck and it was almost too tempting but she spoke and it broke him from his lust.
"What?" he asked looking back down at her.
"I had a dream," she whispered again.
"What was it about?" Gaara asked pulling her up right and leaning her against him.
"It was about my mom . . ." she trailed off making Gaara stiffen. "And about your mom, it was almost like a memory. They were friends and they had these necklaces . . . but your mom had something bad happen to her and then my mother, it was just really weird" she sighed.
Gaara nodded wrapping his arms around her. He closed his eye trying to break the force field that was around her mind. It almost seemed like she was willing to let him see into her thoughts and he saw the dream for himself.
He picked her sleeping form up and went in through the window. Gaara placed her on her bed and covered her tightly so that she would be warm. "God I love you," he murmured under hs breath.
Sakura smiled in her sleep and he gave a small laugh. He leaned down and kissed her soft lips before disappearing into the night.
-
The next day. . .
Sakura sat up and looked around her room dully. "I don't want to go to school" she muttered to herself and then remembered what had happened the night before. A big smile erupted on her face and she shot out of bed. "Gaara kissed me!" she cheered and danced around her room.
She stopped and got and irritated look on her face, "But what if this is just like the other times?" she asked herself and thought about all the things that could happen.
"Ah what the heck" she shrugged and threw on some clothes before dashing downstairs for breakfast. She grabbed a health bar and ran out the door seeing the time. "Bye dad!" she called over her shoulder.
-
Sakura walked into school happy for what seemed the first time, she looked around and went wide eyed almost falling backwards. "You've got to be kidding me!" Sakura said almost sounding horrified.
"I know what you mean, one day they hate each other like always and the next they like talking to each other" some random girl sighed and stared after Kiba. She sighed and walked off.
Sakura didn't know whether or not to be freaked out by the random girl who was just talking to her or her two best friends who used to hate each other walking down the hall and talking like NORMAL people?! Sakura smacked her hand on her forehead and ran it down her face.
She felt better seeing she was not the only one mortally shocked by this new habit of theirs. "Weird isn't it" Gaara said from beside her.
"You're telling me, I just learned all this yesterday and I already feel like a million years behind" she sighed leaning on his side.
"Don't worry it will all play out in front of you soon" he chuckled and started walking.
Sakura followed close behind him and gave him an odd look, "Is there any particular reason you're staring at me like that?" he asked giving her a small smile.
Sakura blushed and looked away with her arms crossed, "I was just wondering if you were going to do what you normally do and be all skanky about everything" she huffed.
"Skanky?" he asked trying to hold back his laughter.
"Yes, it's the word I have chosen to describe your idiocy in ways with women" she pointed out.
"You mean my ways with you," he corrected.
"Yeah whatever its still skanky" she stuck her tongue out at him. Sakura went wide eyed and screamed at the top of her lungs, Gaara's gaze shot over to her and she fell against the wall. "No, no, no, no" she repeated sliding down to her knees.
"Sakura!" Gaara called to her kneeling in front of her and closed his eyes trying to probe her mind. He winced and opened his eyes seeing Sakura's arm stretched out and her hand holding his throat tightly. She glared at him with dead eyes.
"That won't do anything" he struggled out. Her grip loosened and she blinked. Sakura looked around and started hyperventilating.
"Wh-what's going on?" she asked Gaara.
"Don't worry about it," he coaxed holding her trembling face with his hand. She closed her eyes and tried to force back the tears, she didn't want to remember what she had just thought.
"I can't move" Sakura said quietly so only he could hear. All the surrounding students were whispering to each other and watching the scene closely.
"Break it up, break it up" a teacher commanded and looked down at Sakura and Gaara. "What happened?" she asked looking at the almost out of it Sakura.
"She just collapsed, I'll take her to the nurse" Gaara said respectfully and placed one arm under her knees and one on her back, picking her up with ease.
"Thank you Gaara. Hurry now and the rest of you get to class the morning bell is about to ring" he heard her say to the other students. Gaara looked down at Sakura who had the most distant look on her face.
"Gaara . . . maybe we should stay away from each other" Sakura said still not making eye contact with him. He nodded but couldn't keep his eyes off her.
"What did you see?" he asked stopping in the middle of the hallway, the bell sounded through the halls and he gave a quick look around before continuing his question. "It's something you don't want me to see, I can tell because your trying to rid something from your mind, tell me" he said but it was simply a question and not a demand.
She shook her head not wanting him to see the horrific scene that just played before her; it almost seemed like a fantasy in a sick twisted way. "Please Sakura, if you let me see I can take it away from you" he said trying to reason with her.
She looked at him for the first time since she collapsed, "You can take it away?"
He nodded and looked around, "But not here. I'm going to take you home and you can tell me there alright?"
She nodded and leaned her head on his chest, for some reason it came to her as a surprise when she heard no heartbeat. She placed one of her hands on the area where his heart should be and still felt nothing.
"It no longer beats," he said making her look up at his face. "Don't worry about it just act passed out" he gave her a small smile. She nodded and leaned against his silent chest once again. She closed her eyes and felt the temperature change in the nurse's office.
"She fainted and I promised our teacher I would take her home since her father works all day and probably couldn't tear away" Gaara said politely to the nurse.
"Oh Gaara your so kind. Just let me get her papers to file an absence for both of you, you are going to make sure she isn't alone? Passing out is a serious matter" she told him.
"Of course, I was going to call her father when I took her home and see if he could try and break away early" he said. Sakura rolled her eyes behind closed eyelids; he was almost too good at this.
He pushed out the door and the cold air outside hit Sakura hard. She shivered and opened her eyes to see he was at her car already. He opened the door and sat her inside the seat. "Hey!" she huffed realizing he had gotten her keys somehow.
He walked over to the driver's side twirling them about on his finger. He sat in the seat uncomfortably and moved it back so that his long legs were comfortable. "Your short" he teased as he started the car.
Sakura rolled her eyes and stared out her own window as he pulled away from the school. Gaara looked over at her when he heard her sigh, he looked back to the road and then at her once again. He grabbed her hand and intertwined his fingers with hers.
Sakura looked at him curiously as he brought her hand to his lips and kissed her fingers. "If I had a heart it would beat for you" he said sincerely. Sakura looked away from him smiling to herself. She saw her house and felt them stop.
She moved to open the door but Gaara locked it from his side. "You're unconscious" he smirked getting out of the car and making his way over to her door. He opened the door and picked her up; when she stared up at him he pinched her on the butt.
"OW!" she glared.
"Unconscious" he repeated with a smirked.
Sakura twitched and reluctantly closed her eyes, "Your retarded"
He opened her door and walked into the empty house. Gaara made his way up to her room and set her on the bed. She opened one eye and looked up at him. "Can I wake up now?" she wondered.
"Nope, go back to sleep" he said waiting for her to close her eye, which she soon did. Her eyes shot open when she felt him kiss her. "Now you can wake up sleeping beauty" he smiled.
"Again I state you are retarded" she murmured as she sat up. Gaara sighed and sat down on the bed with her.
"Don't worry about it. I just like to have fun"
"I noticed" she huffed crossing her arms. "Now do you want me to show you what I saw or not?" she asked.
Gaara nodded and pulled her arms away from her chest, "Now just relax and think about it. Close your eyes" he ordered. She did so and Gaara placed his hands on wither side of head. He placed his cold hands on her cheeks and closed his own eyes.
"Gaara" Sakura called softly. The red head stood there casually with a black blind fold of his eyes. "Come here" she coaxed with her voice. There were pools of blood everywhere and familiar faces.
"That smell . . ." he grimaced and reached for the blindfold. Her hand stopped his and kept it in place.
"Don't think about it" Sakura sighed and looked around at the death. White feathers floated in the blood. "You love me right Gaara?" she asked trying to sound innocent.
"Of course," he replied quickly and without a second thought.
"Then die for me" she said in a hissed voice and pressed a silver cross to his chest. There was a low roar and it only grew louder and louder.
Tears were running down Sakura's face as she stared into Gaara's pained face. "Gaara s-stop!" she sobbed. She grabbed his hands and tried to loosen his grip from her face. "GAARA!" she screamed at the top of her lungs making him fall back.
He stared up at the ceiling breathing hard, "Gaara?" Sakura sniffed. He shot up and hissed at her bearing his fangs and then going wide eyed. Sakura was as far away from him as the bed would allow fear all over her face.
"Sakura, I'm so-" he reached out for her.
"NO! Get away from me!" she cried. He looked at her pained and hurt was apparent in his eyes.
"Get away from me! I hurt you! I hurt them all! I can't be near you anymore!" she screamed. She got up and ran out of the room and into the bathroom. She locked the door behind her and slid to the floor crying into her hands.
"Sakura!" Gaara banged on the door but only heard her sobs.
"Go away!" she said through the door. "I knew it was a bad idea to show you . . ." she trailed off.
"Sakura I told you to show me and I don't regret it, please come out"
"Please Gaara, just go away" she sobbed.
Gaara leaned his head against the door and then stood straight. He turned his back to the door and was gone.
