I felt something watch me. I pulled my eyes open and saw Ino looking at me, her face inches from mine. I screamed my head off, thinking for a sec that it was Sasuke. "Hey, hey Sakura, want to come to the national forest with me?" I peered out of the covers, glaring at her.
"Why" I asked.
"Cause Sasuke told me to ask you." Ino replied. My blood went cold. "You know Sasuke, and you never told me." She started to clean her nails. "Yea, my family knew him before they died." I grimaced. Everyone knew they died in a hunting accident. Apparently a huge, deformed wolf attacked them.
I heard Sasuke chuckle from the doorway. "Hey Ino!" He said casually. He then glared at her. "I told you to let her sleep in; she got her life scared out of her last night."
shikamaru then stepped into the room. "Hey, Ino told me to come over and…" He looked at me. I quickly covered myself with the blanket screaming for them to get out. About 20 minutes later, I went into my family room, fully dressed, to see them sleeping on my authentic leather couch.
"Oh no! Ino stop drooling on my couch!" I screamed. She jumped five feet into the air with surprise, and then slipped back into unconsciousness. I went up to her and slapped her awake. I walked over to Shikamaru but he was awake. That left one more intruder to awaken.
I walked up into the attic, and opened the coffin lid. He was sound asleep, lucky. I looked around his coffin to see pictures of Romania and a Home Sweet Home carved into the wood. I poked him, "hey you!" I shouted.
I closed the lid and I heard a big thump as he tried to sit up. "What the heck was that for?" He whimpered as he opened the coffin. He looked at me and pulled me in. "Oh no, help Shikamaru!" He laughed. "He can't hear you now." His breathe went down my neck, chilling me. His hand went over my hands holding them. I flinched from his touch; it was like he was ice.
I tried to open the lid, but it was too heavy. "Ha-ha." He said snidely. I glared at him in the dark, "Let me go, I'm not your dinner." He shuffled around to look at me.
"But you look so yummy." He said quietly. I don't know if it was just my imagination, but he sounded sad. He caressed my neck and slowly began to drift off to sleep. I lay there on edge while he happily snored. I turned around to see if I could use my back as leverage against the lid, but I ended up falling on him, waking him up.
"Careful love, I'm not completely human." He said quietly. I saw an angry look in his eyes. He grabbed my head and put in on his chest. "Go to sleep." I panicked, there was no heartbeat coming from him, but suddenly I felt drowsy. I tried to fight the feeling, but you really can't fight against a being stronger than you. I slowly went to sleep, tired beyond belief.
My conscious told me to wake up and run, but my body digressed that thought. "Go to sleep, Sakura." He whispered in my ear, He reached down and kissed my neck. "Go to sleep, so I can show you a sweet dream tonight." He pushed me against the side of the coffin and kissed me gently.
He started to kiss my harder, all the while pushing me against the coffin's wall. I looked at his eyes and terror filled me for a brief second before I was washed away by him again.
His eyes were red.
He started to push my shirt off my neck all the while kissing me, making me unable to think. His lips went down slowly from my mouth to my neck. The brief feeling of teeth scraping against my skin caused me to snap out of my stupor.
I screamed, slapping him hard enough that it broke my hand. His eyes returned to his regular black. He looked at me with shock. "Sakura, I'm sorry, oh god, your hand." He tried to grab my hand to look at it, but I pushed him away in anger and fear. The lid opened and I stumbled out, crying.
Shikamaru and Ino watched me as I closed the attic door and locked it. "Let me guess, he tried to bite you?" Ino said seriously. I gaped at her. We all heard a loud crash from the attic, and saw Sasuke jump out the window. "God riddance, you bloodsucking jerk." Shikamaru said grimly.
Ino looked offended at this. We both looked at her. "What's wrong?" She looked at me. "Sasuke was part of my family's friends. He saved me when my parents died. It's offensive that you're mocking him." She said sullenly. I stared at her. "Ino, he's been asleep for 300 years, you can't possibly know him." Ino shook her head, but didn't say anything else.
We went to the hospital to check out my hand. They wrapped it up, saying it was a minor fracture. Frankly, I didn't believe them. It hurts too much to be a minor injury!
Shikamaru decided to take me to my favorite ice cream shop, picking up the tastiest one for me, cheesecake with blackberries. I swallowed it down, not pausing for breath. We drove back home and watched a Dracula movie, which frankly, didn't help my nerves.
I was gonna kill Ino for picking out this movie. We were at the part when the girl was about to be sucked dry when the wall to our left, by the door, caved in. A huge wolf lumbered in, looked around and started to charge at me.
In a split second, Ino was in front of me. She smashed into the wolf, sending it sprawling onto the floor. Another wolf entered the room and caught her by surprise. The wolf bit her in the stomach and sent Ino flying against the fireplace. She collapsed in a small heap, utterly spent.
The wolf looked a Shikamaru and brushed him aside like an ant. He landed on the now torn up leather couch unconscious. The wolf walked up to me and grabbed me in his jaws. The other one had recovered by now and had turned into a human.
I saw him write a note on the wall, with what it looked like, Ino's blood. It said I was to be held ransom for Dracula's son's life. "Sasuke!" I gasped. The human Werewolf looked at me and hit me across the head.
I last remembered praying that Sasuke wouldn't die.
