A/N: OK…Sorry for not updating in such a long time. It was because a stupid boy in my class (well, actually all of my classes) keeps bothering me. And besides, I'm on Spring Break so…yeah.

Disclaimer: I DO NOT own Naruto…much to my Goth readers' annoyance.

Blood-Linked

Chapter eight: Fighting True Love

By: Goth-Vampire Ninja

In her mind, Sakura was screaming in pain and ordering her body to move, but despite her efforts, her body refused to move. As soon as Kiba had sunk his fangs on her neck, she felt as if molten lead was being slid down into her body toward her every vein, and most importantly, towards her heart, to be pumped into her whole body. Even in her pain, Sakura absentmindedly thought it an accomplishment not to have fainted from the pain.

When Kiba finally pulled away, the burning venom he had injected into her had already traveled through her whole body and the pain had already started to, painfully slowly, subside. Kiba had a grin plastered on his face and was staring at Sakura as if he'd just given her the gift f life.

In her mind, Sakura was already making a plan to escape but as if reading her mind, Kiba said, "That's going to be useless, Sakura. You're under my control now. You can't make a single movement unless I tell you to or I give you permission." He smirked at her and leaned in to kiss her.

As soon as Kiba's lips touched her own, the wall of the room they were in exploded as if it had been punched with tons of chakra and out of the rubble stepped out Sasuke.

"Well, well. What an unpleasant surprise, Sasuke," Kiba said with a smirk plastered o his face.

On the other hand, Sasuke was burning up with anger and the only thing he managed to say in a low and deadly growl was, "You…kissed…her." It wasn't a question. To say that Sasuke looked angry would have been the understatement of the year.

Sasuke disappeared and showed up again a few feet away from Kiba. He was about to land a really hard punch on Kiba, but to his surprise, Sakura appeared out of nowhere and blocked him. She was glaring daggers at him.

"Now, Sasuke, calm down. You wouldn't want to hurt your ex-mate, would you?"

Kiba asked with a tiny smile of victory on his face.

"You didn't," Sasuke hissed.

"Well, as a matter of fact I did," Kiba answered, the grin on his face was still visible.

Sasuke turned to look Sakura up and down. "Sakura, get out of the way so I can kill him," he ordered softly.

"No," she responded coldly.

"Now, remember Sakura, you have to take care of him once and for all," Kiba piped up, "after all, those were Itachi-sama's orders."

Sakura's glare disappeared as she tuned to him and said sweetly, "Yes, Kiba-kun!"

"You bastard! You're working for my brother?" Sasuke asked incredulously.

Sakura glared at him again, "Your fight is with me so pay attention or you might get hurt." Sakura let go of his fist, which she was still holding, and punched him square on the jaw.

Sasuke looked stunned and skidded back a few steps but recovered quickly. Sakura took this opportunity to run towards him at full speed and punch him again. After that, she just kept using her best techniques on him, but he either dodged or blocked most of them, meaning, she did land some attacks.

Although o the inside she seemed to be enjoying the fight, on the inside Sakura was screaming her lungs out telling her body to stop it. Finally giving up on mentally yelling, she just concentrated on trying to get a message across to Sasuke…and it worked.

From Sasuke's point of view, Sakura seemed to suddenly stop mid-punch and start trembling a little. She put her hands down and it looked as if it took a great effort to do so. She bent down her head, making her bangs cover her eyes. When she looked back up, she seemed to be back to normal. Sasuke went up to her and took a hold of her shoulders shaking her a bit because she was still trembling a little. She said, "I-I'm s-s-sorry S-S-Sasuke-k-kun." Then her head slumped.

Sakura's eyes were covered by her bangs and Sasuke couldn't read her expression. Then Kiba yelled, "Sakura, kill him already!"

Sakura's lips formed a little smirk and Sasuke stepped back a little. Then she looked up and Sasuke saw her once-green eyes turning red. "With pleasure," she said, and ran to Sasuke at full speed.

Sasuke just turned to Kiba and yelled, while blocking Sakura's attacks, "How long has it been since you bit her?"

"Not long. Why?" Kiba said slyly. Sasuke smirked and Kiba's eyes widened when realization hit him. "Sakura, get away from him!" he yelled, distracting Sakura and making her turn to him for a fraction of a second.

That's all Sasuke needed to snake his arms around Sakura, making her unable to get away despite her struggles. Sasuke licked her neck, where his mark used to be, soothingly and whispered in her ear, "You're mine again," before sinking his fangs on her neck and knocking her out.

A/N: I know, I know. The fighting scene sucked, but hey, I'm not very good with describing how people fight. Oh yeah, I know this chapter was short and bad, but that's torture for not reviewing! So every time I don't get reviews, I'll make short lame chapters! Muahahahahahahaha! By the way, I'm working on my next story, so if you liked this one…YOU SHOULD READ THE OTHER ONE I'M WRITING! It's called "A Cat's Goth-Blood." 'Till next time!
