Days passed and all they could do was to be with each other as long as possible. Kili debated something in her mind while resting her head on his shoulder. She'd been having dreams about vampires. After a week of these dreams she started to feel she WAS a vampire. Her unusually pale complexion, her long, raven black hair, her icy blue eyes...But she enjoyed being in the sun. The warmth embraced her every time she was outside. She looked up at Itachi. His arm was (almost unconsciously) around her waist as he stared out over the vast lake. Yes, she would tell him today.

"Itachi-sama..." He looked down at her with a gentle expression on his face. "What is it, Kili-chan?" She got a bit hesitant at hearing his gentle voice. "Am...Am I a vampire?" He then grew surprised. "What makes you ask that?" "Well...I've been having these dreams lately, and, well, I just feel that I'm a vampire...or something like that..." He squeezed her tight to him. "I would still accept you if you were." He gently kissed her forehead.

That was the last she remembered of Itachi. Now this new man was driving her into the ground. It was either work or bed. She was exhausted. He didn't let her sleep unless it was with him. Even then she didn't rest much. One day Itachi happened to pass her by on the street while she was grocery shopping. It had only been 6 months, but he barely recognized her. "I-Itachi-san..." She was so happy to see him; she jumped into his waiting arms. She was talking and catching up with him when she spotted her master coming. "I have to go now. Please, don't follow. Things will only get worse for me if you do." He was protesting but couldn't let her be hurt anymore.

So he hid behind a vendor's cart. It was late at night and the moon shone brightly above them. "Who the hell were you talking to you brat?! You work for me! I sent you to get groceries, not to converse with some guy on the street." She glared at the ground. No, she thought. I won't take this anymore. "Shut up." She spat. "What did you say to me?!" He raised his hand to strike her, but in a simultaneous action, Itachi raced out to protect her at the same time she latched onto the man's neck. Itachi froze. The man grew pale as she bit down hard. He beat her off, then to the ground. "YOU LITTLE BITCH! HOW DARE YOU BITE ME!" he struck her over the head. She could feel a bruise forming on her cheek. She wiped the blood from her mouth, and then realized: fangs had taken the place of her normal teeth. She used this to her advantage. She stood up, and dodged his attack; ending up behind him. She bit down harder this time. Blood gushed from the wound and the man fell to the ground dead. She was horrified at what she had just done, but Itachi grabbed her arm and ran off with her before too many people noticed.

Beneath the shelter of a forest, he pinned her against a tree. "Kili-chan...What just happened?" She was crying from fear now. "I don't know...Please don't hate me!" He held her close to his body. "I could never hate you Kili-chan..." Her chin barely reached over his shoulder. She felt so safe in his arms, but then...she was so near his neck. The skin looked so soft; she almost tried to bite it. She had to resist. No matter what the cost, she couldn't bite him. "Itachi-san...please let me go..." He then realized the pain in her voice. "No. I'm not letting go of you. Not again. I don't care if you bite me." The courage in his voice made her want to get away from him even more. "No! I don't want to hurt you!!" She tried to push him away. No luck, she should have guessed.

At her pushing against him, he pinned her against the tree again. This gave her a splinter in her arm. He looked her in the eyes. "You won't." Then he kissed her. Just like the night at the like. Just like when he told her about her fate. But now, there was more to it. Everything in her being relaxed at his touch. She'd seen him on missions: a ruthless killer. But when he came home to her, he was gentler than one could imagine for Itachi. Even the Akatsuki was surprised at his behavior around her. Then her vampire heart took over again. "Please Itachi-san...I can't hold it back anymore...You have to get away!" He looked at her with an expression that told her he wasn't moving. She looked at him with a sad face, then all hell broke loose for her. She could no longer resist the urge and she bit him. He flinched in her grasp, but she had enough control to only assimilate him. She let go of him and licked the blood off of her fangs. His onyx eyes were blank for a moment, then he smiled at her, his new fangs showing. "See? I'm fine." he kissed her again and she was finally able to calm down.
