Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, it's characters, it's plot line, the card game, or those cute little plushies I've seen in some store but can't remember exactly which.(hehe I kind of forgot to write that on the last chapter.)
Hi everyone! I'm sorry I updated so late, life kind of got in the way... But I promise next chapter will come out faster!! It's a promise (smiles)
To all the people who read the first chapter, thanks a lot! An even more thanks to darkpeatle202 and 2SasuSaku2 for being my first reviewers, I really appreciate it.
So, here's what you've being all (hopefully) waiting for... chapter number 2!
Chapter 2: The UN-expected visitor
She woke up in her room, as always, and rubbed the sleep from her eyes while getting out of bed. She glanced at her clock and read 11:00 AM. 'Sunday morning' she thought as she got up and started to wander around her room 'what to do?'
She opened her closet and search in for clothes. 'guess I'll stay at home for a change, and maybe go to the park with shishou later'.
After taking a shower and getting dressed, she went to the kitchen and made some toast and coffee for her and Tsunade. 'A delicious toast to start the day. I should also start making shishou's coffee for when she comes back.' she mumbled to herself. 'I wonder if he wants some too' she thought, now noticing the big lump in the couch of the living room.
The pink haired girl tiptoed towards him trying to do as less noise as possible. She gave a little shake to his shoulder…
SNORE…
Silence…
Her eyes went wide and she raised an eyebrow at him. Talk about noisy...
So, she wasn't sure what to answer to his "reply". Should she 1) politely reply him how rude and not gentleman like his actions were… or 2) laugh her ass off as how funny that was. Well…
She almost fell on the floor from her laughing, that soon awaken the man in the couch.
"Don't you know it's rude to interrupt people's sleep?" he grunted from under his pillow.
'Please' inner Sakura said. 'It's almost eleven thirty in the morning, and look who's talking about being rude…'
"I'm sorry it's just" she giggled, "oh nothing. Anyways, I wanted to ask you if you wanted breakfast mister…?" she tried to remember the man's name.
"It's Jiraya kid" he said.
"ok Jiraya-san" she said with a smile "Would you like coffee or juice? Or maybe you'll want some tea or-"
"You talk too much" the man interrupted her, "and coffee's fine" he added.
She happily turned around and went to the kitchen to pour him coffee in an old cup, until the doorbell rang. She left the room and walked to the door. 'Weird. It's Sunday so, who could it be?' Tsunade wasn't supposed to come back from the hospital so soon, and visits usually called before coming.
So she was really surprised when she opened the door and saw a boy, around her age, in front of her.
"Can I help you with something?" she asked him, and opened the door just a little to see him completely. He was tall with black hair, and was dressed all in… black. 'What's up with the black, doesn't he have any other colors to wear?' inner Sakura said.
"Who are you?" he said with a frown and a tone of I'm annoyedin his voice. She just gave him a puzzled look.
'ok, like, what the hell?' she thought as she cleared her throat and smiled at him.
"Excuse me?" she breathed in and calmed herself down before she lost her temper. The boy looked at her again, this time his face showing the irritation he was feeling in that moment. He started to walk to the door.
"What the..?" she said as she realized he was trying to get in. She tried to push him back but he was stronger than her. "What are you doing?!"
He ignored her and burst in, walking towards the living room. She made a pause to catch her breath and looked at him. He was really strong... "Seriously, why all of sudden everyone wants come to the house?" she muttered to no one as she followed him.
The boy entered the living room, where Jiraya was. When he saw him he was still sleepy and surprised, but his face turned into a smirk when he realized exactly who was in front of him.
"Oh it's you" he said in a relaxed tone, still with the smirk, "How have you been? Need help with something?"
The boy glared at him, "Well yeah, now that you mention it, maybe you could help us find our dear leader?" he said with a bit of sarcasm in his voice.
After entering the room she stared at Jiraya for a second, "wait, leader?" she asked having listened what the boy said, "hold on a second, YOU are Moonlight's leader?" She couldn't believe what she had just heard!
"Yeah well, leader makes me sound kinda old, so I would prefer something different Uchiha-san"
She looked back at the boy, "Uchiha?"
The Uchiha sighed and rolled his eyes, "Yeah whatever, what are you doing here anyways?"
"Can't a man visit his old friends?" Jiraya said. The boy snorted at him but Sakura didn't listen to his reply...
'Why does that name sounds so familiar all of sudden?' she thought as she looked at the boy. 'Obviously it has something to do with Moonlight, I'm sure mom had said something about it before, but...
But her mind stopped when she suddenly gasped, remembering…
A nine-year old Sakura swayed back and forth on her mother's lap, her eyes wide and focused on her mother, who was narrating another story, this one about vampires.
"Even if vampires seem dangerous and mean, there are some of them that are very kind and help people in danger of other mean vampires" her mother told her.
"Are there any vampires in Moonlight mommy?"
Her mother paused before speaking. "Yes, they are the only vampires that are members of it."
Sakura gasped at her mother, "Who are they? Who are they?" she shouted. Her mother smiled at her daughter.
"They are…"
"The Uchiha" she whispered out as her eyes widened. She looked back at him and, indeed, found all the right traits: pale like snow skin, an amazing beauty, and the black hair and eyes of an Uchiha...
Eyes that were now watching her…
She gasped as she realized he was looking back at her. 'He must have heard me' she thought, 'he's like extra sensitive to everything around him' In a blink of an eye, Sasuke had appeared in front of her. He looked at her with a puzzled but serious look on his face. "Who are you?" he asked her again.
"I-I…" she breathed in and out and calmed down. This wasn't time to be afraid.
"I'm Sakura," she said again more confident, "Haruno Sakura." He was surprised when she pulled out a hand in front of her without any hesitation, apparently knowing what he was. He smirked a little and grabbed the hand in front of him. It made shivers run trough her back.
"I'm Sasuke," he said and his eyes turned a blood red. He smirked as she gulped, but she stood still not wanting to show fear. "It's nice to meet you."
A tired Tsunade made her way trough the hall of the third floor, just having come out of her shift at the hospital. Sundays were her less favorite days because of the much work there was at the hospital, that being the case today. 'Well at least this awful day is over and I can come back home and enjoy a nice cup of Sakura's tea. That if Jiraya doesn't start fooling around...'
She stopped in front of her door as the tough of the man and the events of the last night came to her mind. It had been a bad thing to do, but Sakura had to be there.
The thought of the pink haired girl living her life without knowing anything, thinking the stories her mother had told her where just made up... She couldn't let that happen. That alone made her want to forget what Sakura'smom had made her promise. To want to tell her the truth...
She stopped thinking when she heard a faint cracking sound from the apartment... Was that glass breaking? Before she could verify herself a scream was heard from the other side of the room. That was Sakura's voice...
She smashed the door opened and ran to the source of the sound, in the living room. "Sakura!" she yelled as she entered, "what...?" she stared at the scene in front of her. Near the couch were a almost red from anger Sakura, Jiraya and surprisely a barely irritated Sasuke Uchiha. In the floor were the rest of what seemed one of the few cupboards they owned and a black stain in the carpet surrounding it.
So by the broken cup on the floor and the murder look on the girl's face she could guess that the Uchiha had done something to upset Sakura and the only reason she wasn't beating him up for whatever he did was the fact that Jiraya was in between them.
"Sakura" she called out for her, "what happened in here?" The girl turned around just noticing her shishou was there. She walked at her until she they were face to face and then twisted around and pointed a finger at the Uchiha boy. "He did it!" she shouted and turned back at her, "Tsunade-shishou please tell me he's not going to stay in here too?" she practically begged the woman.
Tsunade looked up at Jiraya and raised one eyebrow "Staying too?" The man cast her a pleading look and she sighed. "Ok Sakura go to your room while I sort this out and don't try to plan a revenge against Sasuke or something, it's just a simple cup, not a porcelain vase or something..." Sakura looked at her shishou like she had became mad. "But shishou! I..."
"Do as I say Sakura" she told her firmly and shook her head when she tried to talk again, meaning she wanted her to leave. Sakura sighed in defeat and left the room, but not without glaring once more at the boy in front of her.
The Uchiha didn't see it or just ignored her.
'Damn him!' she tough as she walked to her room as slammed the door shut once inside.
A cool air filled the atmosphere as the night started to creep over. The city's normal buzz decreased as most of its citizens got ready to sleep and rest for the new day that would come. Sakura, of course, was one of them...
The pink haired girl walked trough the kitchen with a cup of hot chocolate in hand. She headed towards the hall and knocked on the first door at the left which was Tsunades's room.
"Good night shishou!" she said trough the door and smiled as she heard a "Good night to you too!" from the other side. After that she turned around and walked to the living room, where she whispered a good night to the man in the couch.
His response thought was an angry grunt at which Sakura just giggled. Turning around, she walked to her room. However, of course, her day hadn't been bad enough so as she was just some steps away from her door, another one opened in front of her and out came none other than Sasuke Uchiha.
At first she wanted to shout at him, but she stopped as she remembered what Tsunade had said to her the last time.
So instead, she so politely bowed at him. "Good night Sasuke-kun." She said trying her best not to sound as angry as she was.
The Uchiha only sign of having noticed her was a short "hn" as he went past her towards the living room.
She bent up just in time to watch him disappear in the darkness of the night. 'How creepy' She sighed and turned around towards her own room. She entered and shut the door behind her. In front of her was her small room.
Inside there was just her bed and some posters on the wall right beside it on the left and a shelf full of books and a desk with a computer on top of it at the right. The only light in the room came from the computer screen.
Sakura walked to her computer, she sat down in the chair in front of it and carefully placed the cup next to the mouse. She picked the mouse and started looking trough her files, until she came across one that read 'Sakura'. She clicked on it.
After that lots of documents appeared in the screen and she skimmed all of them until she fond what she was looking for. She clicked on one file that read Moonlight.
She started to see all the things inside of them, some filling her with happiness, some with melancholy, and some with both. It had been so long since she'd seen this. This little space in her computer that she went to when she was sad or thinking about her mother. This little space dedicated to only one thing.
She had filled it with all, from the stories that her mom told her to the own theories she had...
She chuckled at the one about UFO'sbeing in reality secret agents from Moonlight. She'd been nine at the time and her mother had almost got a heart attack when she showed her the evidence, along with some pictures of aliens. Apparently she had never seen one and was scared to death.
She smiled as she continued to see all the things there. They were all good memories she'll save forever. Well, some of them... Each one was special because they reminded her of her mother. The mere word moonlight could make many emotions start inside of her.
She continued to look at it until one caught her eye. She slowly read it.
Members.
The space below was of course empty. After all, her mom story was supposed to be just that, a story. She never could get any names out of her, and her mom couldn't made up any names. (That was one of the reasons she knew Moonlight was real.)
She contemplated that word for some time and an idea flashed trough her mind...
Members.
Name: Uchiha Sasuke
Genre: Male
Age: Appears to be 16...
"Special Ability": vampire
She read her words over and over again, searching for any mistakes there could be. When she found none, she sighed and sat back in her chair. Just a few lines, but something was something...
She knew this might be childish... actually it was. Everyone who she'd told of Moonlight had said it was just a simple bedtime story, even her own mother had told her that. But she wouldn't listen.
She couldn't. It was her life and the only thing left of her mom. And it was obvious that her mother had told her about it for some reason, the same reason that made her want to persuade her into forgeting about it. And with all that was happening now she couldn't be more sure.
For her, Moonlight was and will always be real...
End of chapter 2
New chapter and new character, Sasuke! ( and next chapter will have more new characters in it!)
You know? I read somewhere that constructive criticism is very good for people, or even just a few words expressing your opinion. So... read and review? please? If you liked it, or you didn't or just want to say hi. :D
And one last thing. If you find any missing u's, it's my keyboard's fault. Not mine.
