Chapter Four: Classified Threat

She watched through her half-lidden eyes. The way the shadows danced along the walls; tormenting her..

Pink hair, splayed on her pillow. Sakura cautiously sat upright, her limbs twitching for her to move and possibly make a run for it. The shadows stopped to acknowledge her, she stiffened.

Coldness wrapped itself around her body, pulling, tugging, annihilating. She gulped hard, her eyes never wavering.

They jumped at her with speed she had never seen before. Instinctively, Sakura ducked, her body hitting the bed, blankets pulled over her as if to shield her from the brutal vampires.

She heard the sounds of bodies hitting the ground. She was curious and looked to see a single figure standing amongst the dead-vampires. Gasping when the figure drew closer to her, Sakura kicked at his hands, warding him off.

He chuckled lightly and gripped her arms, held her down, dominated her until she was left crumbling in a pile. She watched the way his eyes wandered around her body, lingering just a while longer on her neck.

"You're mine forever, Sakura."

-she screamed in pain. Her neck was being pierced by a pair of fangs. ..Sasuke's fangs. Drawing her blood.

-warm, delicious blood.

..hers...

She flung herself forwards, sweating, exhausted, and frightened. Her blankets were pulled up to her chin, green-eyes wide with fear. She looked around the darkened room, breathing labored.

Sakura saw the male fast-asleep against the far wall of her bedroom. She sighed in relief and hopped out of bed. Flicking the lights on in the bathroom, Sakura splashed cold water onto her face and stared at her reflection.

God... she looked like shit. Her hair was in disarray, her eyes were glazed over with sleepiness and basically she looked dead!

Splashing one last handful of water on her face, Sakura pulled back and stared at her reflection again; this time, however, Sasuke was behind her.

The sleepy girl jumped and turned around in surprise. Her heart was racing fast and her breathing quickened again. She saw his mouth pull into a smirk, she glared at him.

"Don't do that!" She whispered, not wanting to awaken her aunt. He laughed quietly, "You're such a spaz." He mumbled in boredom now.

Sakura rolled her eyes, "..well, now that I'm awake... how about some more questions?" She heard the half-vampire give out a tired sigh and follow her out of the bathroom and back to her bed.

"How much blood do you usually require?" Sasuke slumped his shoulders, "Twice a month at least. Half-breeds don't need to consume too much blood, we can eat human food as well; although.." He paused.

"What is it?" She asked with curiosity. "If vampires are hurt in any way, they'll most likely need at least some blood to keep them from going insane. It weakens them."

"..even you?" she asked and he nodded, "Yeah."

"What did your human-self look like?"-she just needed the answer to this question. He looked as if he were really thinking hard, his brows were furrowed and his forehead had a crease in it.

"Ah.. I don't remember much, just that I had blue-eyes... like my mother." He said, rasping the last part quietly. Sakura watched him, "It wasn't your fault." Sakura stated in a stern voice. Sasuke whipped his head to face her, "How is it not?!" He demanded with a growl; she held her ground.

"..like you said earlier, you were a young-vampire and you couldn't control yourself." He didn't say anything, just sat there and took everything in, to ease the pain. -even for just a while.

"As time passes, I'm slowly forgetting my human-life.. my family and friends. -There's nothing I can do about it either; this is my new life."

"..I'm sorry." Sakura murmured, her heart twinging. Sasuke stared at her for a moment, "Silly girl. Don't apologize for something you didn't do." She nodded her head, licking her lips and asking one final question.

"Sasuke... what's it like being a vampire..?" She witnessed his face growing dark and then he was back against her wall in a flash, arms crossed.

"Sleep now." He commanded. Sakura argued, "..but I-", "Sleep." He said coldly, all warmth leaving his being. With a grumble, Sakura pulled the covers over her and rested her head against the pillow.

She awoke in a daze, her alarm clock having gone off. She slapped it with her hand and nearly sprinted to the bathroom. Her aunt would be gone to work already but Sakura had yet to get ready for school and she only had a mere fifteen-minutes!

Internally screaming, the girl brushed her teeth, ran a comb through her hair and pulled it into a messy-bun with the help of a colourful hair-tie. She stripped out of her pajamas and tugged on her school uniform.

She would have to skip breakfast since she had to run in order to catch the bus.

Did Sakura ever mention that she wasn't a morning person?

-

Sasuke was at her locker? She shook her head and then looked again; yup. He was definitely at her locker, waiting for her nonetheless.

Once she reached him she asked, "What happened to you this morning?" Sasuke chuckled, "I didn't abandon you, Sakura. I'm a morning person, so I left early to get a fresh start at the day." She waved him off with a sigh.

"How awkward is it going to be with Sai?"

Sasuke shrugged, "It won't be awkward but there will be a lot of tension. A thirst to kill." She slapped him on the arm for the last comment, he chuckled at how feeble she was.

"Leave before Ino sees us and comes up with some godforsaken thought." Sakura watched the Uchiha laugh all the down the hall and thought of how insane he truly was.

Okay... so Ino had seen Sakura and Sasuke together and was now making her idiotic assumptions about the situation.

"How did you score Sasuke?" She asked, slightly intrigued. Sakura rolled her eyes and sighed, "I didn't score anything you moron. He was just at my locker today, so what?"

Ino giggled, "Oh c'mon, Sakura! Do you actually think that I'd buy that crap?" Said girl smiled dumbly, "I was hoping you wouldn't come up with any crazy ideas but sadly, you already have." Ino looked at her pink-haired friend in confusion, "Eh.. did you just diss me?"

Sakura shrugged her shoulders, "Maybe."

"Why are we going to the park again?" Sakura asked in confusion, following close behind Sasuke Uchiha, glaring at anyone who dared to gawk at the two of them walking together.

"You don't have homework and I don't have homework." He stated bluntly, smirking at her expression.

"That's not a reason!"

-

"When the sun starts to set, I'll take you home."

Sakura allowed Sasuke to push her on the swing, helping her to gain height and speed. She laughed like a child, feeling safe in his hands.

They didn't do that much, the sun was beginning to set all too soon and then it was time for Sasuke to take her back home. She was a little disappointed that they couldn't stay longer but his word was final and there was no use arguing with him; he always found a way around things..

When he took her hand in his, she felt a blush overpowering her and before she knew it, she was beet red. Sasuke chuckled, "So innocent." he murmured, her little gasp didn't fall unnoticed; Sasuke had her pinned against a tree in an instant.

She peeked through her closed eyes at his perfect face. Her blush only seemed to intensify which left her quivering against him. She felt his (surprisingly) warm breath fan out against her exposed neck.

Both her lips were pursed together but a small whimper still managed to get past them. He kissed her jaw, her cheek and then his lips lingered there for a short while; she knew what was coming.

Although.. she heard him gasp and grunt in pain instead. His head resting against her shoulder, his body completely falling against her smaller one. She lost her footing and ended up tumbling to the ground with the half-vampire.

"..Sasuke!" She shouted, shaking him. He opened one onyx orb and breathed out before half-sitting up and looking behind the two. There was no one else around, all except for... Sai.

He jumped from the trees, a small gun in hand, aimed at an injured Sasuke. He had been wounded, the bullet hitting his shoulder but not able to pierce all the way through.

Sasuke sniffed the air, "Ah, holy-water.. so that's how you can kill a vampire." He mused, as if he hadn't just been shot. Sakura sat there, completely dumbfounded, she met Sai's passive gaze. He seemed almost lifeless now.

"Sai! S-stop it! You'll hurt him and-"

"I won't let him touch you." Sai said calmly, cutting Sakura off. She shut her mouth and looked from one male to the other. "I will not hand you over to a vampire! Never."

Sasuke smirked, forgetting all about Sakura, he was focused on the persistent brat standing a few meters away from him. Sasuke charged at him head on, only fast enough to make it five-feet from where he stood before he had to dodge another silenced gun shot.

"He's too dangerous, Sakura. He's a threat to this entire city! Don't you understand that?!" Sai yelled at her, groaning when Sasuke punched him in the shoulder blade and took hold of his weapon. He emptied the magazine and tossed it to the side, Sai smirked and pulled out an identical firearm.

Sasuke mindlessly charged for him and gripped his injured shoulder, Sai brought the gun to his chest, aiming for his heart but shooting too soon. The bullet went through this time, leaving Sasuke bleeding.

Sakura screamed and rushed forward, fear spiking into something new. She reached Sasuke and stood between the two men. Sasuke obviously more injured then Sai, she held the bleeding male.

"Put down the gun." She whimpered brokenly but he countered, "It's not safe to be around that.. vampire! Why do you want to risk your life for him?!" He half-yelled. She winced at the intensity in his voice, "If you care about me at all, Sai.. you won't attack Sasuke. If.. if you do then... I'll hate you."

With a grunt, Sai retracted his weapon and put it away, "I'm only trying to protect you from him. There'll be a time when I'll have no choice but to hunt him again, I won't apologize for that."

-and he left. Sakura nearly collapsed but remembered that she had to get out of the park. The sun was nearly set already, "Sasuke.. can you walk?" She felt him nod against her and watched as he stood up.

They headed for his parked car and he drove her home, even with his two wounds..

She unlocked the front door. Her aunt wouldn't be home until the late evening. They still had some time together alone before he had to leave or hide, whatever he wanted to do.

Sasuke took a seat on the floor, not wanting to get his blood on any of her belongings. Sakura came out with gauze and a first aid-kit. She was confused when he suddenly chuckled.

"I'm half-vampire. I'll heal easily." He murmured but she shook her head, "At least let me dress the wounds." He nodded, shrugging off his shirt and jacket and watching while she worked on him with a blush coming over her again.

Before she could dress the wound to his shoulder, Sasuke made sure to take out the bullet since it hadn't broken through his flesh on the way out. He winced slightly at the sting of the holy-water.

"..'bastard plays dirty..." He grumbled and handed the bullet to Sakura's outstretched hand. She tossed it into the trash can and watched him on the floor for a few moments. She focused on his wounds and then recalled his words from the previous night... 'If vampires are hurt in any way, they'll most likely need at least some blood to keep them from going insane.'

She twiddled her fingers and remembered what she had said to that comment, '..even you?' he had nodded, 'Yeah.'

Before she could think anymore, Sakura began to unbutton her blouse and pull it halfway down her shoulders, her bra was clear in view. Sasuke turned to her in shock, he made to stand up but she held him still, "You need blood right now, correct?" He didn't make a move.

Sakura shook him, "You said so yourself yesterday." Sasuke looked away in shame, brows pulled together in question.

"I can get blood somewhere else." He explained but Sakura wasn't listening to him, "I'd rather you not prey on some other girl and start up a rouse. It'll give Sai more of a reason to kill you."

He closed his eyes, fighting the urge but losing. "Please, Sasuke.. Let me help you in any way I can. Just this one time." he pulled her naked upper half against his chest, took in her addicting scent and trailed his tongue along her slender neck.

She gasped against him, his fangs breaking through her skin and drawing the blood he yearned to get. His arms tightened around her, she heard a quiet grunt and the sound of him feasting.

"..Sa-Sasuke..." She whimpered, writhing against him. He pulled away, knowing that if he didn't stop now, he'd lose all control. Panting, Sasuke watched as droplets of blood fell to her pale chest. He lapped up the excess crimson and hooked his fingers under her chin.

Her eyes were wide, her pulse erratic. This time, he didn't stop himself, he took, devoured, dominated. His lips moved subtly against hers, arms winding around her waist, tongue fighting.

"I'm going to become human. For you, Sakura." He whispered against her bruised lips, claiming them once more and pressing hard, tasting her essence.

The rest of the evening (before her aunt came home), Sakura stayed wrapped up in the Uchiha's arms. For once.. forgetting all about him being a vampire and feeling as if he were really still human.
