Yeah, Chapter 13! I haven't touched the computer in like a week, but now it's Thanksgiving Break. Thank goodness. I don't think I could last another day of school. So now for your amusement and to kick off the break chapter 13!

Chater 13

Garra's POV

Now I really began to worry. 'Sara still isn't out and it has been 15 minutes since the last round of crystals.' Then I saw a figure in the doorway. "Sara!" I saw with horror her trembling and dripping with blood. She had turned back into her normal form and tears dripped off her chin. I watch them fall to the ground. She stumbled towards me.

"Gaara-kun…" she whispered. All of a sudden Oruchimaru appeared before her. I saw her eyes widen in surprise. Then she disappeared in crystals.

Sara's POV

I gasped in surprise to see Oruchimaru appear before me. My crystals came up to spear him but not before I felt a stinging pain in my chest. The crystal went straight through Oruchimaru and I saw the look of pain cross his face, but I wasn't satisfied. I picked him back up and forced his head to the side. I sank my fangs deep into his neck and drank him dry. Then I ripped my fangs out and through him to the ground. Only then did I realize what I did and I shook my head in disgust. I wiped the blood off my mouth. "Gaara…I need you." I whispered as I stumbled out of the crystals again and saw Gaara standing a little a ways. I went to him and rested my head on his chest. "Gaara-kun…"

"Sara! You're hurt!"

I slowly lifted my head off his chest and looked down, remembering the twang of pain I felt earlier. A kunai protruded from the left side of my chest. I yanked it out and let it slowly slip from my hand. It fell to the ground with a clank of metal.

"But that must have hit your heart! How can you still be alive? It was so deep."

I looked at him ready to tell him I could take care of myself when I noticed him clutching his side, and blood covered his hand. "I've hurt you!" I cried out in dismay. "Here let me see."

"I need a doctor or something."

"I can heal it faster, if you want."

"Be my guest."

I made him sit down a certain way so I could access his wound better. "Okay, now remove your hand." He did as I said. Then I folded up his shirt enough to expose the gash. I leaned down and licked at his blood. He jerked away from me. I grabbed him. "Do you want me to heal you or not?"

"Yes, I want you to heal me."

" Then you need to trust me." He nodded and I continued my work of healing his injury.

After a few minutes I pulled away and wiped the blood off my mouth. The only evidence left of his injury was a small scar. "Any more serious wounds you need healing?"

"No, that was the only big thing. Everything else is just a scratch, nothing I can't heal on my own. But what about you? You just got stabbed in the heart."

"I'll be fine. We got to go, but first I need to get rid of our scent here so no one can tract us."

Gaara's POV

Sara jumped onto the highest crystal on the highest tower and made a hand sign. Storm clouds gathered and blocked out the moon, plunging the night into complete blackness. It started to rain. Lightning flashed illuminating the area, and I saw all the blood run down off the crystals turning them from clear to red. The blood on her washed away and her hair hung in her face. She pushed it out of her eyes then jumped down beside me.

"There, now our scent should be gone. Now we can get out of here. I can teleport us only to the edge of the forest." She grabbed my arm and made the hand signs.

We were there. She started walking forward.

"Shouldn't you rest Sara. You were injured severely."

"Stop worrying. I'll be fi-" She collapsed.

"Sara!!" I knelt over her and I laid her on her back. She was still breathing. I grabbed her wrist and felt for a pulse. It was faint. I saw the wound in her chest still hadn't healed. "What do I do? What do I do?!"

"You can start by finding a lake. There's one NE of here. It's close, but I don't think I can walk there."

I was relieved to hear her talking. "That's okay, I can carry you there." I scooped her up in my arms.

I came to the lake. "What do I do now?"

"Put me in the water."

I waded into the water and lowered her in. I kept my arms under her back to keep her head out of the water. She started to glow a faint blue. After a few minutes, her eyes flickered open. "You can take me out of the water now."

I lifted her up and waded back to shore. I laid her out and sat down beside her. I looked out at the calm water. "What was that all about?"

"The wound was more serious than I thought. Normally, in my other form I wouldn't worry about a injury like that, but I transformed back by accident. In that form I would normally heal within minutes, but I was so shaken up that I transformed back. I had you put me in the water so I could heal myself. Now I'm not in any danger, just a little tired." She closed her eyes.

"Hey, Sara."

"Hmmm?" Her eyes were still closed.

"Can you now fill me in your demon form?" her eyes snapped open. I saw a look of pure hate flash onto her face, quickly replaced with sadness. Her eyes closed again.

"It's difficult to explain, but I promised I would fill you in. Besides you knowing this information may become handy in the future. Where to start…I guess it would be easiest to start from the first time I killed.

Sara's Flashback

I came out what-ever state of unconsciousness I was in. I looked down to floor trying to remember exactly what happened. I stumbled back from my uncle's corpse. Everything that had happened came rushing back into my mind. I looked down at myself. His blood clung to my hair and my clothing. "What have I done? What am I?" I backed away and ran for the window that I had never closed. I jumped out and ran, ran out of the village into the forest of shadows where I could hide myself. I sobbed loudly running, running. Tree branches reached out and tore at my clothes, spider webs caught in my hair, but I kept running. I tripped and fell hard to the leave ridden ground. I griped the leaves under my weight and wept profusely. I looked up ahead to see a lake. I dragged myself over to the waters edge. I saw my reflection, and I cried out in dismay. Blood covered my once pretty turquoise kimono. Scratches covered whatever skin that was uncovered and spider webs clung to my hair and clothes. I washed my face and arms in the lake water. After that I sat and watched my reflection. "Why me? Why am I such a monster? Why is everything I once knew and loved gone, ripped from my grasp, only to be replaced with something so dreadful. What am I? I hated my uncle, but I would have never killed him. Now I have nowhere to go. I belong to no place, I have no home. I can't go back into public again. Not with this sin I carry. I want everything to go back to normal. I want my parents to be standing beside me." Pain shot through my body. I gripped my head and my chest where my heart lies.

"No! Please no more killing! Please I beg of you! I don't want to kill. Please don't come out again."

A ghost of a women appeared beside me. "Who are you and why are coming to me? Why can't you just stay away?"

" My name is Izanami."

"What do you want with me?"

"Sara…I'm truly am sorry that you got involved in all of this. I don't know why fate chose you to be my body."

"What do you mean Your body?!" I cried out in terror.

"Sara, when I died in my past life there was a prophecy telling of my return in a child of the Kyuuketsuki clan. I've been lying dormant inside you for ten years, but now I've been set free. Sara you are my reincarnation and as time passes we will become one and the same. My habits will be yours, and yours will be mine. You will still be you, in a way, but my power and lust for blood will be yours. Our souls will combine into one and I will no longer talk to you."

"Why did you make me kill my uncle? Why have the Gods abandoned me?"

"I did not know that you didn't want me to kill your uncle. He was a threat to us, I mean you, he tried to kill you and, well, I needed blood sooo…yeah. My dear child, please forgive me for all this, but I'm afraid you must drink blood, as well, to sustain me. Unlike all the other members of the Kyuuketsuki clan I am fully a vampire and need it to live, as will you. Try as hard as you can, you will find you need it too. As for why the Gods have abandoned you, well I can't answer that one. Their cruelty seems to have lashed out at you."

"No…please. No more death, no more blood no more, no more, no more…"

"I must leave you now. Maybe you can find one day in that innocent heart of yours to forgive a monster like me."

She left me and I collapsed onto the ground. "How many more tears can I shed? Is it possible to die from the loneliness and sadness? How many ways are their to die so quickly that you don't feel a thing? If I don't kill myself, how many more people will fall down before me?" I fell asleep promising myself that death would fall upon me the next day."

Morning light danced on the ground around me. I pushed myself up slowly. I created a ice needle from the lake water. I raised it and brought in down ready to plunge it deep into my heart. A shield of stone appeared and blocked the attack. Next I tried to cut myself to bleed out, but I healed within minutes of even the biggest gashes. Again and again I tried many ways to kill my self, but nothing worked. I cried out in frustration and desperation. For days I tried so many ways to kill myself. Then after the third day or so I noticed that I hadn't eaten at all and I was not all hungry. "Not even starvation is possible?! What am I supposed to do?!"

End Flashback

Gaara's POV

"And slowly as Izanami predicted we did slowly become one. Her need for blood and death became my need as well. We have not completely combined but are very close to it. That is why I changed into her form at the last full moon. The next full moon I don't think I will. I think the change is complete."

"Okay that answers the first question I had. Now I have another."

"Go ahead, ask away."

"When you and Oruchimaru were talking, you called me your demon. What does that mean?"

"The Kyuuketsuki clan have always had strong bonds to the demons, but with me I have always been really connected to them. It's said that I'm supposed to have a demon companion. That would be you. I'm sorry if that sounds cold to you, but that's the way Oruchimaru associates you with me. Or did associate, more likely to say."

"What did he mean when he said 'like the last three'?"

"In the past I've with three other demons. Only companions really. Nothing like the relationship I have with you. They all were killed by the Akatsuki. I was not there at the time of any their deaths, so I could not save them. But somehow I always seemed to move on and now I have you, my love." Her eyes opened and looked at me, then closed again. "I will make sure that nothing ever happens to you. I love you too much to see you leave my side." I was quiet after that statement. I watched her slip into a deep sleep. My hand reached out to touch her angelic face, but I hesitated and drew it back. I sat beside her until the faint light of dawn began to appear.

You people out there I'm getting nothing. You're not reviewing at all and that makes me sad. I don't even know if you like it or not. Well I want to know if I should put sex scences in or not, so you better review so I know for sure. I'll stop putting up new chapters if you don't review. So review!
