---------------
"What did you do to her.." Neji retorted. Sasuke glared at the helpless girl in Neji arms
"Oh her? I was just looking for an appetizer." He grinned. Neji looked down at Sakura. She had blood smeared all over her body. "You can take a bite of her. I can share my food." Neji placed her down gently on the ground.
… Flashback…
Did Tenten leave the cafeteria already? Neji walked up the stairs and a scent a blood came rushing to his nose. Sakura. He quickly ran to find her lying on the ground. "Sakura?!" She let out a moan as more blood spilled onto the ground. Neji covered his nose quickly. "You okay?" He bent down and picked her up.
"Sasuke-kun… He…" She winced at the pain and pointed to her neck. Embedded in her neck was the two big teeth marks made by Sasuke Uchiha. His eyes widened.
"You need help."
"I'm not going to turn into a vampire.." Sakura smiled. "I wish I could have Tenten's healing powers."
"Tenten!" Neji looked up and smelled but nothing came.
"Sasuke-kun… he's after her right now…" She moaned. "Go to her."
"I'm not going to leave you here if that's what you're asking…" Neji retorted and picked her up. Suddenly, he heard a scream. "Tenten!" He shouted and sped up.
Sasuke-kun… Don't hurt… Tenten. Don't hurt your sister. Sakura thought before she dozed off.
… Flashback over…
"I won't." Neji responded. "Let go of Tenten."
"No. She's mine." Sasuke responded as he grinned again. Blood dripping down his teeth. The smell was nauseating as Neji quickly let out a groan and covered his nose. "Heh. I know you, a pure blood could never resist the temptation of human blood. Especially this blood.." He touched my neck and allowed the blood to drip to the floor. Each droplet was like a boulder crashing down from a mountain to me. The sound was deafening as I let out a scream. I felt his teeth again.
"Stop it." Neji spoke a little louder.
"What's the matter? Didn't you want her to become a vampire?" Sasuke asked. "She'll become a half breed, then you can do the rest." Sasuke responded as he licked his teeth clean.
"… I don't… want her to become something she doesn't want to be." Neji looked at his hands. "I'm not proud of what I've become either." He clenched his fists and stared at me. I couldn't even see him clearly, my vision fogging up, all I could feel was ice… every time blood was sucked out, I felt the loss of feeling everywhere. I needed to breathe, I needed to god damn breathe! But somehow, my lungs were frozen and if they even tried to expand, they'd shatter to bits.
"Stop moving.." Sasuke ordered.
"Our promise.." Neji stood still and looked down. If I touched any of the Uchiha's… then… I'd have to leave her forever… I can be selfish and want her to stay as a vampire, or think of others, and… break the promise… saving her life. Neji clenched his fists tighter. I'm going to have to break the promise. Neji looked up at the sky carefully as it was getting lighter. It was Twilight and the stars shone brightly in the sky. "Let her go now." Sasuke dragged his teeth away.
"If I don't?"
"Oh. There's no 'if I don't'. You will stop now." Neji glared at him hard as he laughed.
"As if. There's no way I'm giving this up." He growled and ran towards Sasuke and landed a punch right in his jaw. I collapsed forward as Neji caught me in his arms. I heard his heart beating faster as I weakly looked at my hands. They were turning a pale white.
"Hang on, Tenten.." Neji held me tightly as I rested in his arms, unable to say anything, unable to say his name, unable to even let out a cry of pain. Sasuke growled as he slowly stood and wiped the blood around his mouth. He licked it and tapped his cheek gently.
"Hm. Is that all you got?" Sasuke smirked. Neji glared at him harshly.
"I… I can stand…" I whispered. Neji looked down at me and immediately released his arms. I leaned against the wall and looked down at Sakura. She was also a blurry figure… but… I knew it was her. I could smell her… and I could hear her every heart beat. It was slow… very slow. I felt jolts at my heart and sank to my knees, blood coming out of my neck. Neji stirred and ran at Sasuke. "No…." I mumbled as I saw the two figures running. "No!" I screamed. Neji stopped immediately as Sasuke kicked him hard. He was sent flying over Sakura's body and into the wall behind.
"Ah, dammit." Neji grabbed at his head.
"…." My head was spinning. How was I still able to talk.. To smell.. To hear… to think… Then it happened. The transformation. My eyes were turning red… the blood stopped pumping, and the venom spread violently through my body. Coursing through my veins, going into my head. All I could see was red as I screamed.
It's happening already. Neji growled. The sun was starting to rise… Finally. I heard a groan as Sakura started to stand up.
"Ah.. My neck." She moaned as she cracked it gently. The blood was still there, but she was okay. "Sasuke-kun is still…" Her eyes widened with shock.
Heh. So much for wishing to heal like Tenten. She heals from the sunlight. Neji looked carefully at her. "The moon's still out. The sun isn't fully up yet." She looked at his wound in his stomach.
"I'll-" She paused. "No. Help Tenten. I'll take care of Sasuke-kun."
"…" Neji nodded and picked me up. I felt my stomach doing flips as my body jolted up and down.
-No POV-
"Tenten. Please, hang on." Neji responded as he sprinted down the halls. I didn't promise that I could keep a promise. Neji looked down at Tenten as she heaved up and down; gasping for air. "Hang on.." She grabbed at his shirt. He quickly kicked the door open and slammed it shut behind him. He didn't need anymore hungry vampires attacking the door. Although, they'd probably all smell the blood by now. He put her down on the bed and pulled open the drawers in search for medication. "Dammit! What do I do?!" Neji shouted insanely as Tenten grabbed at her throat.
"It… hurts!" She screamed. Neji stumbled towards her and pinned her gently to the bed.
"It's okay.." He responded. "I…" Her blood continued to leak as Neji felt his fangs sharpen… the lust of blood taking over. He quickly shook the need away and gulped. Take out the poison. He bent down slowly as he saw tears flying out of her eyes. Maybe.. She wants to be a vampire… "Tenten… Tell me what you want…"
"….Augh!" She screamed as she coughed loudly, more tears streaming down. Neji glared at her and with a stern voice:
"Tell me.. Do you want to be a vampire, or not?!" He shouted at her. She screamed again as her chest rose up and down on the bed. Her body twitching back and forth.
"No!!" She screamed. Neji shut his eyes. Take out all the poison….
"Then…. I'm sorry you have to feel the pain again.." He muttered as he took her hand in his and squeezed tightly. He bent over and unbuttoned the top part of her shirt. A little cleavage was showing, but, Neji didn't care about that at the moment…
He slowly went towards her neck and then bit down hard. She screamed loudly again as she started to escape Neji's grasp. He held her hand tightly and kept his mouth tightly over her neck. She kept on breathing hard. Neji shut his eyes and tried to keep focus on sucking out poison alone, not her delicious, sweet smelling, tasty- stop that!
"N-Neji.." She moaned as he finally sucked the last bit of the poison. "You…" Her eyes widened as she found in on top of her. She screamed loudly.
"Does it hurt?" He asked as he touched her neck.
"What?" She looked and saw blood all over her shoulder. She looked up at Neji who had blood trickling down his chin. "What did you do to me?!" She screamed and knocked him off. Tenten quickly sat up and grabbed at her shirt. Neji wiped his chin.
"Sorry." He muttered.
"What do you think you're doing?!" She touched her neck to feel two large bumps. "You… You bit me!" She screamed. Neji looked away and nodded.
"Yeah. I did."
"You promised!" She screamed. "You got blood all over me." Neji touched his forehead. "You're a horrible person! Why does someone like you exist?! Promises are suppose to be kept! I hate you stupid vampires! I hate every single one of you blood sucking monsters!! And I especially hate you!!" Neji stood up and growled.
"Tenten. Did you ever think.. Ever dream of becoming a vampire right now?" Neji asked angrily and clenched his fists.
"Never!" She screamed. "But… you… I'm probably going to change any minute!"
"You're an ignorant human. It was your brother who tried to." Neji retorted. "In fact, I wanted you to change. But I thought of what you wanted!" Neji shouted at her. "Next time your brother turns into a full breed vampire, remind me not to save you from becoming one of us horrible blood sucking monsters!" Tenten paused and touched his arm gently before he pulled away.
"Sasuke… was a vampire last night?" Her eyes widened.
"Yes." He muttered. "He sucked most of your blood, and you almost changed into a 'blood sucking monster'." He looked out the window. Just like the very first day. When Tenten first met him… He was looking out the window, his hair blowing lightly in the wind.
"I'm sorry." She touched her forehead. "I thought that you-"
"Yeah yeah." He muttered. "You should rest… Your body is still recovering from the lack of blood. I'm afraid I can't spare anything." She shook her head and walked to him.
"I'm sorry. Thanks for thinking about me… And I'm happy that I didn't… become…-" She paused. "A vampire."
"What.. No blood sucking monster?" Neji asked quietly. Tenten looked away and shook her head.
"You saved my life." She whispered. "Thank you.." She suddenly covered her mouth. She could hear her heart beat in her ears, and she tasted blood in her mouth.
"Tenten?" He touched her gently as she flinched and stumbled backwards. I… thought I took out all the poison. Neji glared hard as he grabbed her arms and pinned her tightly to the bed. She snarled loudly.
"It'll be over soon. Don't worry." She… won't remember this… She won't remember any of this. Neji leaned forwards and captured her mouth in his. She froze as he allowed himself to lick away all the poison remaining in her mouth. He pulled away as she fainted.
"…." She slowly shut her eyes. He placed his hand over her heart as her steady heart rate came back.
"Good." he mumbled and he gently kissed her forehead, brushing her hair away from her face. He brought a wet towel and gently wiped the blood from her neck. Neji stared at her open shirt and shook his head. He carefully took his shirt off and slipped it over her body. He gently then took her shirt and rinsed it in the bathroom, hanging it.
"…. Bye." He muttered quietly and put everything in a bag. He flung it over his shoulders. That was the second.. No… fifth time that I've touched her… I promised not to touch you.. Or your brother. And because I broke it… I'll keep my end of the promise and leave. Neji carefully knelt beside her and touched her cheek. He once again kissed her on the forehead. "The woman who stole my heart is a mortal..." He muttered. "Keep it. I won't need it anyways." He whispered as he stood.
"D-Don't go…" She whispered. He looked down at her.
"What…"
"Don't leave me." She whimpered. "I like you…" Neji's face reddened, his pale skin… bright red? Can't imagine that.
"You hate vampires though."
"I like you… Neji. I haven't known you for long.. But… but… I know you're not like the rest of them."
"You don't know what you're saying right now." He pulled her hands away. "Rest."
"Stay, please!" She begged as she sat up. Neji turned to her as she kneeled in front of him.
"…" Neji was silent. "Why…"
"I don't… want you to leave.." She whispered as she grabbed at his shirt and leaned against his chest. Her face was bright red as he brought his hand and touched her forehead.
"You have a fever…" He muttered. "A big fever. Lay down, alright?"
"No.. You'll leave me…." She whispered. Neji bit his lip.
"Just.. Lay down."
"You broke the promise… so I want you to keep the new promise."
"What promise?" Neji asked. She buried her face in his shirt and whispered.
"Stay with me forever… don't ever leave me." Neji looked away.
"Is that what you really want? You're sick… you don't know what you're talking about." He whispered. She shook her head.
"Promise me…"
"… Fine." He responded quietly. "I promise." She looked up at him and leaned up and kissed him gently. Neji froze as she soon fell, limp in his arms. "Y-You…" He whispered. "You'll regret what you've done to me… and regret what you've done to yourself…" He whispered, touching his head. I know before… that I told you to love me… but, now that I see… all I do is bring you pain and break your promises. He thought and walked outside to check on Sakura and Sasuke.
"Sakura.." He peered out and saw Sakura holding Sasuke in his arms. "Is he okay?"
"He's calmed down." Sakura brushed back some of his hair and kissed his forehead. "How's Tenten…?"
"She's fine." Neji touched his lips gently.
"She… kissed you?!" Sakura's eyes widened.
"Hn." Neji simply responded.
"In order to take out the poison, you have to… suck it out.." She whispered. "Did you really…" She licked her teeth. Neji looked away and nodded.
"Yeah. I did." He whispered.
".. How was it?" She asked. "Did you- were you able to stop?"
"Yes." He said quietly. 'Do you need help?" He asked and helped her up, throwing Sasuke's arm around his neck. They walked into their room. "Did anything happen?" Sakura shook her head. Neji got a closer look at her face and touched it gently. "Sakura… Did he do this to you?" She was silent and touched the mark on her face.
"His claws." She whispered. "It's fine." As she touched her cheek gently.
"Get it cleaned." Neji retorted and put Sasuke on the bed. "What did he say…."
"…" Sakura looked down.
Flashback-
"Sasuke-kun!Stop it! You've done enough!!" Sakura shouted. Sasuke stared at her and ran at her.
"Where's Tenten?!" He growled as he swiped a finger across her cheek.
"Trying to live!" Sakura screamed. "Because of you, she might become a vampire…" She looked away and glared hard at him. "Do you have ANYTHING to say?!" Sasuke's eyes reverted from red to black. "You hurt her!"
"…" He gulped. "Tenten? I.. No. Not again-" He grabbed his head.
"Sasuke-kun!" She shouted and took his hand.
"I can't believe I did it again. Is she alright?!" He shouted at Sakura. She paused and looked away.
"Neji's taking care of it."
"Taking care of it?! He's going to make her into a vampire!!" Sasuke shouted loudly.
"Calm down." Sakura touched his shoulder. "She'll be fine."
"… I can't leave her in the hands of the Hyuga-" With that he fainted.
Flashback over-
"He doesn't like you…" Sakura touched Sasuke's hair gently. Neji smirked and stuffed his hands in his pocket and strolled to the door casually. "Somehow, he doesn't like you near Tenten."
"Yeah. I did kind of bite her yesterday."
"Did she say she liked you or something?" Neji turned slowly to Sakura.
"She has a fever. It's probably getting into her head is all."
"… You like her back." Sakura mumbled. Neji spat and looked away.
"Vampires and humans can't be together." Sakura stood angrily and shouted at him:
"Why? Why can't they be together?"
"You sound as if Tenten's in deep love with me. It's a one way relationship, Sakura." He held up a finger and pointed to himself. "I'm the one who likes her… not the other way around. Sasuke will awaken soon. I suggest both of you skip class."
"What about you?" She asked. Neji looked at the ceiling and sighed.
"I'm going to take care of Tenten." He whispered. He shut his eyes and reached for the door. He slowly walked out and entered his own room. Tenten was scratching her head.
…
"Neji…" She looked up at him. He raised an eyebrow at her.
"What?" He asked quietly.
"My brother… I know you went to see him. How was he?" She asked quietly and touched her neck.
"Fine. Do you remember anything?" He asked, eyeing her lips. She was silent and finally, she shook her head and yawned.
"I know you saved me though."
"How did you know it was me?" She stood and looked at her shirt.
"It's yours." She smirked and stood in front of Neji. "Thanks." She responded quietly and walked to the bathroom.
That's Tenten Uchiha for you.
"My head's kinda spinning… do you have any medication?" She asked. Neji shook his head.
"Rest, Tenten. Class is cancelled." Not. Neji lied as he scratched his head sheepishly.
"Really?" She asked and came out of the bathroom.
"Yeah. Today's a rest day for you."
"I need to see my brother." She glared at him. Neji shook his head.
"Sakura's taking care of him. It's my duty to take care of you." Neji responded quietly. She raised an eyebrow at him and laughed slightly. Neji stared at her intensely.
"I can take care of myself."
"Right." Tenten snorted quietly and yawned.
"I'm actually tired. So I'm going to bed."
"It's day."
"Well, I'm tired.." Tenten muttered and ran from the bathroom and faced her back towards Neji.
"… Whatever." Neji responded and turned on the television quietly. Tenten gently touched her lips….
Why… are my lips all red and swollen?
"…." Neji smirked.
