Naruto glanced at Sakura as he slurped his ramen. Sakura noticed Naruto look over at her

"What?" Sakura ask

"Sakura . . . Do you know what happened with Sai?"

Sakura froze for a moment.

''Well, I'm not exactly sure... all I know is that he was one of the many attacked the other night.''

"Yeah . . . somebody mentioned they'd supposedly been attacked by demons."

''What? Demons?'' Sakura said trying to sound surprised.

"Yeah, creepy, huh?"

"Very..."

He paused. "Sakura?"

"What?"

"You said you saw Sasuke . . . Are you sure you're not just missing him too much?"

"...I am in perfect control of my emotions Naruto, thank you very much!! And it's called a mistake I'm sure you've thought a person was

someone else at least once."

"Sakura, it's a mistake when the person is there. It's called hallucinating when the person is not. You follow?"

''Oh just shut up for once Naruto! I know all about hallucinations. And I'm not having any so just butt out of my life would you!!!''

"Okay, okay, okay! Sheesh!"

"Hey, Sakura!" someone said from behind her.

"Huh?" She said before turning in her seat to see who it was.

It was Lee.

Naruto narrowed his eyes. "I didn't even hear you coming. Nice day, huh?"

"A bit too bright if you ask me."

'Wait... quiet footsteps... and it's too bright... no... imposiable. There's no way. But Sasuke told me I should tell him if I suspect anything... I should

tell him, just to me safe.' She thought.

"Sakura, what's wrong?" Naruto asked.

''Huh? Oh, um I just remembered, I needed to help Lady Tsunade with some paperwork today. So yeah I'll see you guys later...bye!!!" She

said before running off.

They stared after her.

"Uh . . . Okay . . . ?" Naruto said at last. "So Lee, what have you been up to?"

"Nothing really, just the normal training."

Sasuke was in the same spot where Sakura last saw him. She ran over to him, checking to make sure she was still in the light before

speaking to him.

"Sasuke... I...I think I might of found one of them..."

"Who?"

"...Rock Lee..."

"I know. I've been watching him for some time. But don't worry--He doesn't have a taste for blood yet. He can still be saved."

"Some time? When was he attacked?"

"A while after. I saw that he was exhibiting signs of vampirism. But as I said, he can still be saved, as long as he doesn't see any blood." He

handed her a vial with some strange-colored liquid. "Give him this. It will combat the effects of the vampire bite. This will only work if he has

not found a taste for blood."

She took the vial and put it in her pocket. She was gonna have to figure out a way to get Lee to drink it. "Tell him it will make him stronger,

like it's a vitamin," he said, as though he knew what she was thinking. "That might work."

"Maybe..."

"Now hurry. If he starts feeling hungry, it means that the next time he sees blood, it will be too late."

"Ok." She said before running off, hoping Lee was still with Naruto at the ramen shop.

Naruto was still talking to Lee.

"And then all of a sudden out of nowhere, she calls out Sasuke's name and starts running to the other side of the hospital."

He laughed. "Pretty crazy, huh?"

"Yeah."

"Anyways, I think she--Oh, speak of the devil. Hey, Sakura!"

"Hey Naruto!!!" She said walking back over to them.

"Where'd you go, anyway? Chasing Sasuke again?"

"I told you! I had to go see Tsunade!! And she sent me back out to do something for her!"

"Really? What?"

"She wanted my to give something to someone. Actually, that someone is you Lee."

Lee seemed confused. "Me?"

"Yep!" She said pulling out the vial "Tsunade knows how hard you train to get stronger so she formulated this special vitamin syrup to help

you out a little."

He took it from her. "Huh. That is interesting."

"Yeah. You gotta love Tsunade."

He shrugged. "I might as well try it, then . . ." Lee then opened the vial and drank every last drop of the liquid. He gagged after he swallowed

it. "Ugh, it is as thick as mud!"

"Hey, I never said it was gonna taste good."

"Blech . . . What is in that?"

Naruto stood up.

"Aw, it was probably just some kind of--OW!!!" He gave a sharp cry as he fell to the ground, a large cut appearing on his knee.

"Naruto, are you okay?" Lee asked, but suddenly seemed strange, as though his world was spinning.

Sakura's eyes widened 'Oh no....I hope that crap is fast-acting!!!' She thought

He shook his head. "Whoa . . . what was that?"

''What was what Lee? Are you okay?"

"I dunno . . . I just felt really weird all of a sudden. I think it has stopped, though. What was in that medicine, anyway?"

"I'm not sure. Tsunade did everything herself so I don't know what she put in it."

"You mean, you didn't even ask?" Naruto questioned, clutching his bleeding leg.

"What? It's not like Tsunade's gonna poison him!!!"

"Sakura, take my advice: Go home. Take a nice long shower. Then take a nap."

"Fine, but take my advice: Fix your Knee before you bleed to death." She said before walking away

Lee looked at him.

"That is some good advice. I will go find some bandages." He left a moment later.

(See? I said big stuff was happening in this chapter!!! *Sigh* I was sad wrighting this cause sincethis is based off an rp game between me

and and a friend I had to do this. Casue if I didn't I'd have to do a bunch of re-writeing for later chapters. Yeah...I didn't like the thought of

Lee being a vampire one but...but damn that woman talked me into it...

Oh well He's good.... for now at least! MWAHAHAHA)
