Cannibals

Chapter 3

Sasuke's POV

It was until midnight that I finally had to leave. Right after leaving her house I already started to feel unhappy and lonely. Tomorrow I would go and meet her. I had to tell her a lot of things, she's not safe and she doesn't know it. If I leave her alone for too long, she could be attacked at any point. Even if she is strong, she doesn't know it herself… and that'll lead to her death against Deidara.

I sighed to myself as I lay in bed looking up at the ceiling, remembering how much I trusted Deidara. He who saved me from hunters… he who was always pulling jokes and smiling at me; even when things were going towards the bad. He was the one who helped me recover when I found out about my older brother abandoning me. Then I meat Sakura. The lovely girl that was also one of my kind, the girl that was supposed to be with me forever. I fell asleep before I knew it myself and yet again, had the same dream I was having ever since Deidara rewind everything…

Dream

"She Will Be Mine!" Deidara grabbed Sakura's arm and I could tell she was hurt by it. "Deidaraaaa!" I yelled angrily and charged for them, but just as I was reaching for him two pairs of hands pulled me back. I turned with a snarl to look at who was interfering and saw that it was Sasori and Hidan! They were friends of Deidara and now all three of them were against me. "Hey, didn't I hear something along the lines of 'if you love her, let her go'?" asked Hidan in a teasing manner, and Sasori chuckled as I become more and more infuriated. "Let her go Deidara!" I yelled as both Sakura and I struggled to free ourselves. Deidara held Sakura back by pulling on her hair, he used his other hand to hit a pressure point on her neck and I watched her fall to the ground. He makes eye contact with me as he picks her up and smiles as he walks away with her dangling on his one shoulder. I free myself, but by that time he's long gone and I'm left with nothing but darkness. Deidara was going to kill her… I knew it… and he would torture her before everything.

I opened my eyes calmly, knowing that it was a dream. I had already gotten used to it after the tenth time I had it, now I just wait for it to end. I knew that she put up a fight… she was so stubborn that she nearly died. But how she got into that accident I have yet to find out. I know that it can't be a car accident, no way. It had something to do with Deidara and his friends. And I Will get my revenge. I got out of bed and went into the washroom and started to make plans of how to tell Sakura the truth without actually scaring her. Her memories can't be gone forever… right? I looked at my own reflection in the mirror and saw the frustration on my face.

Sakura's POV

I woke up with a smile on my face. Remembering last night when my mom got home with these little things on her ears that were hard to notice at first, but as I got closer they looked like wireless earphones. My mother had the biggest smile on her face and she gave me the biggest bear hug ever. I was very confused but I hugged her back; liking the mother to daughter moment. She pulled out of my hug and looked at me and said in a louder-than-usual voice "I have very very very good news sweetheart!" I nodded with a smile and waited for her to break the good news out to me. "I. Can. Hear!" She said in the most excited voice. My eyes widened and I didn't realize what I was saying until I finished saying it "OH MY GOD MOM! SERIOUSLY? NO FREAKIN' WAY! THAT'S SO AWESOME!" she reflected my happiness, and we both spent the whole night eating snacks, watching movies, and laughing.

I rolled over and got off the bed and slowly walked to the washroom, as I was walking to the washroom I yelled out to my mom to see if she was home or if she already went to work. "Mom!" I got no reply, well I guess she went already, I still couldn't believe that she got back into the job so fast. My mother works for the adults magazine company. How she jumped back to her old schedule I'll never know… I hoped into the bath tub and slid the screen door shut. The almost hot water soothing my body, I started to soap up myself when I thought I saw a shadow from the corner of my eye. When I looked over nothing was there. It must have been just my imagination. I then started to wash the conditioner out of my hair when I heard something fall to the floor! I gasped and looked out of the screen door; everything was blurry because of the steam so I hesitantly slid the door open. Around the corner, on the floor I saw a few pieces of the flower vase. How did that fall! It wasn't in anything's way… I didn't want to scare myself so I decided that it must have been some kind of wind or moisture from my bath… or maybe it was too close to the edge in the first place… then suddenly as I got out of the bathtub the lights went out! I screamed in panic and went back into the tub sliding the screen door as I went in. I held my breath trying to hear if someone else was in the washroom. I must be going crazy… no way could someone be here in with me! Maybe it's just a small power outage. I shakily slid open the door and grabbed the towel that was just in my reach, as I wrapped it around me I tried to stay calm and think clearly. How am I supposed to get out and not step on glass?

Sasuke's POV

Without knowing I ended up in Sakura's house again. It was near ten in the morning and I was feeling restless for some reason. As I neared the house I saw Deidara looking at her room window. I aggressively held in a growl; he hadn't noticed me yet, and he was planning on getting to Sakura while I wasn't with her. Knowing this I crouched down and was ready to attack. I neared a few more meters and when I knew for sure he couldn't feel my presence I pounced with my claws extended, he turned around with a surprised face and didn't react fast enough to dodge. I brought him to the ground, and heard a protesting grunt come from him. I brought both my hands around his neck and started to chock him. His eyes turned fully white and I could tell he was raging, but before I could react his fist collided with my face and I was sent flying back. I flipped over so when I landed I'd land with my feet down, once I landed he was already very close to me, his claws were extended and his sharp teeth were exposed. I dodged and caught his wrist and as I threw a punch he caught my fist, we looked fiercely into each other's eyes for a moment before I said "Where's your friends?" Deidara sharpened his glare and pushed me away. I flipped and jumped into the air avoiding his kick. Once I landed he was gone. I couldn't feel his presence anymore. Maybe he went after Sakura! I ran in and quickly slid up her window; breaking the lock in the process. I jumped into her room and didn't see her there, starting to get really worried I forced myself to calm down and start my adrenalin, I clearly heard soft calm breathing like as if it was right beside my ears. I darted towards the sound and found yet another locked object! I twisted the doorknob with all my might and it made a grinding click noise as I broke its lock too; I speed into the washroom and saw just the toilet and sink. I turned a small corner and saw the shower, and Sakura seemed to be in it! I could feel the heat rushing to my face as I couldn't look away. Then I saw Sakura's face turning towards me; I quickly snapped out of it and hid behind the corner. I was backing up slowly and started feeling for the doorknob but my hand hit something and it fell to the tiled floor, crashing into a million pieces. *how many freakin' things do I have to break in a god damn day…* I face-palmed and grumbled to myself. I thought Sakura was coming out so I quickly turned off the lights, if she gets out she won't notice me, and I quickly hid in the small closet.

Sakura's POV

I silently and carefully stepped out of the tub and felt my way up to the corner, now is where it might get painful… how can I get across to the door and not step on shards of deadly glass? My body tensed before I even knew why. I started to look around for some reason, but I couldn't see anything. I got a chilling feeling that someone was intruding; and suddenly my hearing spiked. I could hear the water still trickling down the drain; I could hear the breeze from outside, and someone breathing in the washroom other than me. "H-hello..?" I said trying to sound brave. I cleared my voice and said "Whoever is here better leave before things get ugly!" my warning sounded as fake as my bravery felt!

Third Person POV

Hearing Sakura give off week warnings got Sasuke clasping his mouth with both his hands and shutting his eyes tightly; trying very hard not to laugh, but he still gave off little snickers. "Stop laughing and show yourself!" she yelled

"Are you sure you'd be able to see?" teased Sasuke

"This isn't funny! Who are you and why are you invading my house!" she now screeched with irritation. Sasuke walked out of his hiding place and stood right in front of her; looking straight into blinded eyes. Sakura only looked towards a certain energy she felt that was right in front of her. "I didn't want to frighten you, but if I tell you why I'm here, you wouldn't understand…" Sasuke said in a serious voice. "Yeah right, you PERVERT!" screamed Sakura "Get Out!" Sasuke's left eye twitched "Pervert…?" he asked, he chuckled and started to advance towards her. "Honestly is that what you think… after I most likely saved your ass…?" Sakura didn't know if he was just playing around or if he was actually mad, but her instincts told her to stay away, the vibes coming from the guy didn't feel comfortable. He casually walked over the glass like as if it was nothing; he smirked when every step made an appropriate crunching sound, and every step he took made Sakura back up three steps. He had never seen this side of Sakura, she looked fragile and scared. The first time he meet her, she was strong and fierce. In moments he cornered her, and slowly put both of his hands on either sides of her head. Sakura closed her eyes tightly; her hands automatically made tight fists and put them in front of her chest. Sasuke looked down at her, she was as cute as ever, he brought his face close to her and smirked. He could see so clearly, she could not… interesting… she lost all memory of being a beast, the creature of the night who feeds on victims that look just like her… maybe it was for the best. Using both his hands he held her lovely face, her eyes opened and shone from the little light. "Just know that from now you're safe… Sakura" Sasuke murmured, and he gently placed his lips on hers. He looked into her eyes, they were full of surprise. Sakura pushed him away as hard as she could, but it didn't really do anything. Sasuke, knowing she was already freaking out, moved aside for her. Sakura was about to run away, completely forgetting about the deathly trap just up ahead, so Sasuke grabbed her hand and stopped her before she stepped all over the shards of glass. "Be careful, remember there's glass there…" Sasuke said softly and sighed, "Sorry for kissing you, I couldn't help myself…" there was no sound coming from Sakura, and Sasuke was about to look over, but a hand covered his eyes. "Don't Look!" she cried.
