I looked at him, waiting for him to speak, to tell me where I was, how I got here and why I wasn't dead.
He shook his head, sighing. "You're... I'm... We're..." he scratched the back of his head. "How about I start at the beginning... I'll tell you my story... If you tell me yours..."
I looked at him, raising an eyebrow. I shrugged. "Deal..." I said quietly.
The raven-haired boy took a deep breath that probably wasn't necessary. "I grew up with my mother, father, and older brother... My life was pretty normal... Then one day, when I was about sixteen... My parents and I were going tp pick my brother up from our aunt's house... My parents weren't paying attention, they were arguing about something, and they ran a red light... Pick-up trucks can't stop immediately... Especially when they're coming from both sides at once..." he paused and shook his head, not looking at me. "My parents died immediately... I was in Intensive Care for about six weeks... Then I was hooked to a few different machines for six more weeks in the same room you were in... 86..." He looked at me. "You ready for the unbelievable part?" he questioned.
I nodded, eager to know what had happened to him. I was confused mostly. How could he have been in the same room as me? He was my age, unless... I mentally shook my head.
He smirked slightly, "I don't remember who, but a man came to me and asked if I wanted to live... I replied with the same answer you gave me... And he turned me... Sinking his fangs into my neck... He brought me here and disappeared forever..." he said. "How's that for a happy ending?"
My eyes were wide. I shook my head. "Vampire..." I whispered.
"Exactly," came Sasuke's voice, it was slightly amused.
I looked at him, "Am I-" I couldn't finish.
He nodded. "Yes, you are..." he said. "It was selfish of me... But I couldn't let you die... I was all alone... And you... You struck me as interesting... Quiet... But interesting..."
I smiled slightly, sweetly. "Thank you..." I said.
It apparently wasn't what he was expecting to hear, judging by his reaction of wide eyes and a slight slip in character.
He straightened up and raised an eyebrow at me, clearly thinking I was one odd girl. "Well then..." he said. He shook his head. "Now, your story?"
I nodded, sitting on the edge of the bed, he took a seat beside me. "My mother died when I was very young... During childbirth with my little sister Hanabi..." I said quietly. "My father and I never really got along, he always found ways to put me down... Using my sister and my cousin as examples and saying how they did this and that better than I did. I was always a sickly child... In and out of the hospital ever since I was five... Hanabi was only a year old... Neji was six..." I shook my head. "Even though I was in and out of the hospital for weeks at a time, I still made friends. Shino and Sakura were the first and they introduced me to Kiba and Naruto... Us five were inseperable... then I got stuck in the hospital for the last time... The pain was unbearable... Then I met you that first night... And then the next time... Discussing the colors of the swings..." I giggled slightly. "And then... That last night..."
He chuckled at the swings statement and then became serious. "That last night I couldn't bear to see you in anymore pain... I wanted to end it..."
""And I made a promise...' I said, remembering that part. "Forever."
