Chapter 5

…Yoru's POV…

Tears began to well up in my eyes. How could I have friends if my whole life had been a lie? How could I expect people to like me if the rumors were true? "I'm a vampire?" I accidentally said out loud. "Yes, I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner."

I stood up as tears spilled from my eyes. My eyes were turning red with anger and I spat, "How could you keep this a secret from me for so long? I thought you loved me Dad and now I find out that you've been keeping the biggest secret in the world away from me. Is that how you show fatherly love? You're the only family I have and now I find out that you've been lying to me!" I turned away and ran out of the house.

I heard my dad call behind me, "Yoru wait!" but I didn't stop. I had to get away so I ran to the park.

…fifteen minutes later (at the park)…

I hid under the canopy of an oak tree, perched on a limb. Although it had started raining, this place felt so warm to me. I could cry all I wanted and it wouldn't laugh at me or criticize me. This tree, this place, so peaceful. Only the gentle sounds of the rain broke the peace. Of course, at nine thirty at night there isn't much action around the park. That's when I heard the skidding noises of a car coming to a stop at the gates of the park. Two small a vehicle to be Dad, I thought measuring the sound of the noise.

I had my head rested on my knees as if there was a tornado drill at school and my tears were dripping down onto my pants. My grey hooded jacket was getting soaked but at least I could cover my head with its hood. I sat there crying until I heard someone walking beneath me.

…Sasuke's POV…

I had come to the park to think about Yoru. Was she the heiress? The question still plagued my mind and it wouldn't stop. It was like a disease that you wish would go away but it never will because your fate has already been sealed. As I pulled up in my black mustang and parked outside the garden section of the beautiful park, I thought I heard someone crying. After a few minutes I found where it was coming from.

There was a large oak tree whose lower branches were so heavy that they touched the ground. I walked underneath the canopy of the tree and looked at the dark-headed girl who had her head buried in her knees and found that the sounds were indeed coming from her. When I looked closer, I noticed something that made my heart stop for a few seconds—a silver pendant necklace gripped in the girl's hand. Yoru!

I jumped up onto the branches of the tree and climbed my way up to her. When I got to the branch were she was, I looked at her. Her body was trembling from the cold rain that was pouring down. What was she doing out here in the middle of the night dressed like this? I let those questions slip away from my mind as I reached down and picked her shivering body up and carried her back to my car.

…Sasuke's House…

I managed to open the door with one hand while I still carried Yoru in my arms and I took her to the living room and set her on the couch. She was asleep but the tears from a few minutes later still dotted and lined her face. I took off my coat and hung it on the coat rack by the door. Leaving her on the couch, I ran up the stairs and into the bathroom to get her a towel to dry off with and some of my clothes that I'd grown out of to change into.

When I got back down the stairs, she was awake and crying softly. She obviously didn't care that she was in my house considering that she didn't try to escape or anything. I walked over to her slowly making as little noise as possible. I was surprised to hear her say, "No point in trying to sneak up on me Sasuke. I can hear your heart beating." She can hear my heart beating? I listened. It is beating quite loudly but she can hear that?

I proceeded to walk at my normal pace now. "I brought you a towel and some dry clothes Yoru. I—don't want you to get sick." She sniffled a little bit and said with hate in her voice, although not directed to me, "Too late, I'm already sick."

I handed her the towel and my clothes. She dried her face off and took off her jacket. I took it from her and said, "I'll show you where the bathroom is so you can change." When she said, "Don't bother," my heart started pumping even faster. She wouldn't, would she?

To quench my fears I turned around to see that she still had her clothes on, a relief. I definitely would not like her father to think anything if he found out about something like that. "I'll find it," she finished after giving me a forceful smirk. She took the clothes and walked up the stairs. I was also a bit surprised to see that she immediately went into the room directly across from the stairs—the bathroom.

What the heck is up with her? I thought. I thought about calling Naruto and telling him about Yoru but then I thought, That would be embarrassing for her. I can't tell anyone that I found her crying, she'd kill me. It was a good thing I didn't call Naruto because when I turned around Yoru was sitting on the couch again, this time wearing my clothes.

I walked back to the couch and sat down beside her. She was sitting there staring off into space, but I noticed a slight bulge under her lips as she ran her tongue around her canine teeth. She IS a vampire? I asked myself as I noticed that she was also clenching her pendant with her hand.

"Yoru—what happened?" I started hesitantly. Her eyes filled with fear and she said, "My dad and I were celebrating my birthday early and then he told me –sniff- that I was adopted!" Her acting wasn't at all good and I said, "Don't lie to me. That's what you said to me before, remember."

She looked down at the ground and then looked at me with even more tears welling up in her eyes. Now they were so glassy that you couldn't even see her pupils due to the massive amount of tears that were contained in them. I scooted closer to her and caressed her face wiping away the tears that had fallen from their prison. "I promise that no matter what you tell me I won't hate you," I said looking into her eyes. "R-really?" she asked. "Really." She blinked away the tears as she began to trust me more.

Perhaps it was the fact that my hand was placed gently on her face, or how soft my voice was as I spoke to her but I could see that she trusted me. "I—my dad just told me the truth. I'm a…a…" I couldn't let her break down again so I finished it for her, "Vampire." She looked at me with ashamed eyes as though she was something evil that had killed someone and then when she turned good again she realized what she'd done and then she nodded slowly.

I pulled my hand away from her face slowly and reached for my gold moon pendant. She looked at it and reached for hers. "Why aren't you scared of me?" she asked with her hand wrapped around the silver pendant. "First of all, I promised that I wouldn't hate you no matter what you said and second of all…it's hard to be scared of a vampire when you're a…werewolf." Her eyes widened at this. "You—a werewolf?" "Yes. It might me hard to believe but its true," I said with my hand still on the pendant.

So there we sat, both of us in the same position, staring into each other's eyes. She'd just confessed her deepest darkest truth and so had I. It took a while for us to adjust, but then I noticed that she'd reached out for my hand which was clutching my pendant. As she reached her hand underneath mine, I released the pendant and it dropped down into her hand. She took mine in one hand and hers in another and brought them together until they touched.

She'd finally come to the same conclusion as me: We'd met our destiny straight in the face. "I can't believe that you—you are…" she started talking as she saw that the pendants fit into each other perfectly but she couldn't finish. "I know," I said putting my hand on hers which was holding the two pendants, and pulling her closer to me to give her an embracing hug.

…Yoru's POV…

What a day this was! First I find out that I'm a vampire and I'm royalty and all this other stuff about my necklace, then I run away to the park to cry, it starts raining and Sasuke, of all people, finds me and takes me to his house, then we tell each other what we are and what do ya know he's a werewolf, and now this. He's hugging me? I couldn't reject it because deep down I'd hoped for it to happen, not in the "Sasuke is sexy and I'm such a fangirl" way but just the thought of being held by someone. It just happened to be Sasuke, the guy with the most fangirls but one of his non-fangirl friends ends up getting to hug him.

We must have sat there for about five minutes or so, but before either of us knew it the clock was striking ten and there was a knocking on the door. Sasuke immediately released me and looked to see who it was. To his dismay it was none other than Naruto. "Uh…just act like nothing happened okay?" he said as he walked to the door. He looked at me and I nodded and turned around to lounge on the couch as he opened the door to let a dripping Naruto in a raincoat, along with Sakura and Hinata in the same state. Naruto took off his maroon coat and put it on the coat rack, then took Sakura's deep green one, and Hinata's pale purple one and hung them up as well.

When he turned around and saw me in Sasuke's house, in Sasuke's clothes which was more shocking, he gave Sasuke a dirty look and said, "Sasuke…" Sasuke looked at him with alarm and said hurriedly, "It's not like that Naruto." "Hehe, S-sure it isn't S-Sasuke," Hinata said as she and Sakura started giggling.

Sasuke looked at me and I looked by with my tired eyes and nodded my head. I put my feet down and he came and sat down on the couch beside me. "Naruto, first of all MY hunch was correct. Yoru is the heiress." Naruto's jaw dropped at this, partly because he was wrong but also because Sasuke had been right. Sasuke continued, "Her dad just told her this afternoon, and she ran away to the park." He looked at me and I signaled that it was okay to continue. "Well, I'd driven up to the park to think about the situation and I found her in the pouring rain sitting in the big oak tree crying. When I realized who it was I brought her back here and got her some of my dry clothes to change into and then she told me what had happened and then you showed up."

"Oh, damn I thought it was gonna get juicy," Naruto said in a disappointed voice and poked his lower lip out. Sasuke smirked at this and even me, in my exhausted state, had to stop myself from laughing.

Sakura and Hinata sat on the couch across from Sasuke and I while Naruto sat in the chair which completed the U-shape that the furniture was arranged in. Sakura looked at Sasuke and said, "Should we tell her?" Sasuke looked at her and said, "I've already told her about me." I looked back and forth between the four people in the room and said in a somewhat playful voice, "Don't tell me you guys are werewolves too!"

Naruto, Sakura, and surprisingly Sasuke laughed while Hinata merely giggled when I said that. Sasuke said, "No, I'm the only werewolf here so don't worry about it, but Naruto is pretty scary when he goes all demon on you." "Huh," I said in a monotone voice letting my jaw drop down some. "Yeah, he's a fox demon, but don't worry he won't hurt you."

"So it seems I'm not the only one here that has a secret besides Sasuke," I said addressing Naruto's secret life as a fox demon. "He's not the only one. I'm a healer," Sakura said. "I can heal anything from broken bones to a broken heart." Hinata giggled slightly and then blushed as everyone's eyes fell upon her. "I-I'm an A-angel and I can c-control all forms of light and cast out darkness."

"Wow, so a werewolf, a fox demon, a healer, and an angel, what an assortment!" I said looking at each of them in turn. Naruto said, "Wait, you have to add one more thing to the lineup." "What?" I ask. He answers, "A vampire of course. You're one of us when we reveal ourselves to you." "S-so you guys will still be my friends?" I asked him in a hopeful voice. "Of course Yoru-chan!" he answered and walked over to me to give me a friendly hug.

I smiled up at him and my smile turned into a grin when I saw Sasuke glaring at Naruto. Hinata and Sakura began to giggle and laugh amongst themselves. Naruto sat back down but then he stood up and said, "Who wants to watch a movie? Yoru-chan?" "I guess we can watch a movie since you insist, Naruto," I said playfully getting some of my energy back.

…After movie…

Everyone was asleep except for Sasuke. He was staring at the brown-haired girl who had her head rested on his shoulder and was sleeping soundly. She looked even more beautiful to him now that she was asleep and relaxing. Her facial expressions were changing as she dreamt. They went from fear, to shock, to pleasure and he could only guess that she was having the dream again. He looked over at Naruto who was asleep and had a sleeping Hinata curled up in his lap like a kitten. Sakura was lying on the couch alone, cuddling a pillow. As he listened to the slow sounds of rain on his rooftop, Sasuke slowly fell asleep also.

End: Now do you get the hints from last chapter? "Her truth, his truth, their truth." Remember when I said that, well here's the explanation. By her truth, I was referring toYoru, his truth is Sasuke, and their truth is Naruto, Sakura, and Hinata. Just explaining so the slow people can understand. I'm not being rude, it's the truth.
