Black Roses
Chapter 2
Pant
Pant
Sakura breathed in heavily. What was that feeling that she got?
DeathYes, the lingering feeling of death had made her instincts alive. She shivered as her skin prickled in apprehension about the overpowering, dark energy flow around the area.
Was someone there…?Suddenly wanting to be anywhere but in the dark, slimy ally at the moment, Sakura ran to what seemed to be the end of the street. When she finally reached there, panting, she groaned when she saw another fork of dark endless roads leading probably to nowhere.
Damn these confusing streets.
Sakura grimaced. She wasn't going to get anywhere in this condition. It was probably best to go back to the clubhouse and ask direction. She hesitated, not wanting to go back to the foreboding ally she just came out of. She usually wasn't superstitious but the black rose practically waved a red flag that said danger.
Black roses…black cats…?
Sakura lifted her injured finger. The pain had long faded but the lasting effect of seeing her blood made her uncomfortable. She forced herself to remain calm and pushed the frantic feeling that was rising to her throat.
Breathe, Sakura, breathe.
Letting out a short breath, Sakura paced back to the spot where the black rose laid.
The light was still dim, but she could faintly see someone crouching over the spot where she had been. Dressed all in black, the stranger's head was leaning forward, as if looking at something.
The black rose.
Her eyes shifted to the thorny flower that the stranger delicately held. He was still posed in the same position, almost as if he didn't notice the pink-haired girl that only stood a few feet away. His silky black hair covered his eyes and shielded most of his face.
Who…?
-------------------------------------------------------
The instant the girl left, he came out of his spot in the dark. He was slightly surprised that the girl ran; his powerful dark aura usually overpowered the prey's weak senses and rendered them unconscious or paralyzed with fear. He smirked, what an interesting prey.
He had also sensed the girl's heightened fear. He almost gave in to sadistic laughter when she took off running like a mice under a hawk's glare. He fed on his prey's fear; loving to hear them break down and beg.
Now holding the abandoned rose, heglanced at it. Humans may not know, but black roses were always signs of vampires. The city heart of Konoha was one of the most vampiric cities in the world. He shortly wondered why the soft cherry blossom girl had been here at the first place. Clubhouses like the one the girl went to weren't uncommon in the city. Vampires hosted bashes occasionally at clubhouses; the strong and weak alike attended to these bashes.
Sasuke didn't hunt randomly. All vampires hunted in his or her territory. Those who hunted in others' territory faced deadly consequences – most resulting in death for trespassing. The girl had merely been another wanderer in his territory, practically waiting to be fed on.
Sasuke sensed the girl's aura at the far side of the ally. The aura was getting weaker, then suddenly stopped. Slowly but definitely, the aura was getting stronger.
He smirked. So she decided to come back? Perfect, he didn't even have to waste time chasing her down. He tilted his head down and felt the girl's eyes scanning his figure and then examine his covered face.
He let out a hidden smirk.
Time to play with the prey.
----------------------------------------------------
When he finally lifted his face, Sakura gasped at the intensity of his dark crimson eyes that met her emerald ones.
Almost hypnotized by his eyes, Sakura began walking closer to the mysterious stranger. Trying to stop and pull away almost seemed impossible.
Deja vu.
She was so close now, she could almost touch his silky black hair. Now having a close up look at his face, she realized how handsome he was. Especially those blood red eyes. She stared directly into his deep crimson eyes and almost lost herself in the intensity of them.
So beautiful…almost like a fallen angel.
Yet dangerously so.
Beautiful and dangerous…that described the stranger. How strange it was, just to be able to tell by glimpsing at the handsome man.
How ironic…just like that black rose.
Snapping out of her daze, she realized that the stranger was standing right in from of her. Viridian eyes widened when she saw his muscular chest underneath a tight black T-shirt. She lifted her face to look at the stranger's face.
Crimson met emerald.
Realizing her position for the first time, Sakura nervously stepped back a few steps.
"I-I'm sorry. W-who are you?"
His scrutinizing eyes glowed in the darkness of the ally. The silk hair framing his face blew slightly in the faint wind. The moonlight hit his face at an angle that only left part of his face visible.
The raven-haired stranger smirked.
"Uchiha Sasuke. You?"
Sakura was taken aback by the extreme seductive, velvety voice of the stranger. Unknown excitement stirred within her and she flushed, cheeks growing from a pale white to dark pink in color. Turning her open stare to the damp concrete floors, she replied in a soft voice.
"S-Sakura. Haruno Sakura."
Her gaze returned to the stranger. He chuckled lowly and suddenly disappeared.
Sakura blinked. Where…?
"Sakura…that name fits you."
Her eyes widened. Since when did he get behind me?
His arms were wrapped around her waist; his hot breath fanning the back of her slender neck. His fingers absent-mindedly twirled a pastel pink strand. Cold lips lightly brushed against her skin, sending a shiver down her spine.
Cold like ice…
-------------------------------------------------
The girl smelled surprisingly good for a human. Since his sense of smell was far stronger than any humans, the strawberry scent invading his senses was like a toxic drug.
How addicting.
He breathed in her scent and brushed his lips against her amazingly pale skin, smirking slightly as her felt her heartbeat quicken and her small frame shiver.
Sakura.
She matched the description perfectly. Pink hair. Green eyes. Innocent. A fragile blossom that could be broken so easily.
What a interesting prey indeed.
Most of the women he fed on had fawned over him, acting like sluts, be vampire or human. Often praised for his good looks, he had a large fan club even among vampiric women. It would be fun having such an innocent girl to play with.
Let's just hope you don't break, Cherry Blossom.
