Chapter Six: Elapse

"Are.. you serious?" Sakura asked quietly, not believing Sasuke for a minute. She saw him nod, "Almost positive. Your friend's trying to protect this city by himself, it's a little much if you ask me."

He shrugged his shoulders, "I'm sure he'll be fine, he seems... partially skilled." As much as Sakura wanted to believe Sasuke, something in her gut was telling her that everything was going to go horribly wrong.

-

She blushed when he all of a sudden started smelling her from out of nowhere. Sakura pushed him back a little to allow her room for movement, her blush stayed on her cheeks however. -And Sasuke loved it.

"How come you smell so good?" He asked randomly, a slight smile forming on his lips. She giggled, "It's perfume, you know, the one that you said repulsed your senses." He chuckled, "It smells wonderful to my human sense of smell." She swatted him at bay, still laughing at his honesty.

He was groggy. Not to mention there was an electrifying jolt of pain that would shoot through his entire body at random. He would try so hard to move, to open his heavy eyes, do something! -he couldn't.. there was no more strength left in him to do anything.

He thought he might be dead for a moment but conversation between two people caught his hearing. He listened as best as he could, unconsciousness wanted to grip at him but he fought against it.

The only words he could pick out through his hazy-senses were: ...transformation isn't... He's still resting from... Vivienne, ...eye on him. ...human-blood is... a vampire.

He couldn't make any sense of the jumbled sentence he had overheard. The sound of heels caught his ears, this time one eye opened; everything blurred for a second before it became intensely clear. -Even clearer than he ever recalled it being.

"Ah, I see you've awakened, Sai." She spoke, her french accent crisp. She smiled at him, golden locks of hair framing her thin face. Her skin looked porcelain, like it would shatter with the slightest touch. Her lips were a deep red, contrasting against her snowy-white face.

"How do you feel?" She asked sincerely. He tried sitting up and the green-eyed woman watched him in delight.

"You're much stronger than the others." She commented with glee. He didn't say anything, he didn't even bother to move anymore. -hell! He felt like absolute shit!

An unknown pain rocked his body, sending shudders all throughout his being. He cringed and gritted his teeth at the newfound pain. Sai was having a hard time remembering anything significant, he was drawing a blank.

"..I'm, Sai...?" He asked in confusion, touching his forehead. He looked over at the mysterious woman for an answer.

She nodded, "Yes. Your name is Sai." He heard the woman give out a childish laugh, holding a hand over her mouth, "Don't worry, the confusion will pass soon enough."

She stepped towards the door and gestured for him to follow suit, "Come, you must be hungry." He missed the snicker that she made. Sai stood from his bed, the pain had yet to subside but it seemed that his legs had a mind of their own.

Mindlessly, he followed the woman, he would glance around from time to time and wonder where in the World he was!

In the distance, a large door was situated. She allowed him entrance first and he gasped when he saw what was inside. A girl.. her long black hair wavy, beautiful. Her face was nearly flawless, she seemed.. asleep?

"What-"

"-drink her blood, Sai." The woman commanded, her face growing sinister. He sidestepped and glanced from the girl on the floor to the blonde. He shook his head, "You're insane!" He half-yelled.

"You should accept the gift we gave you, or maybe.. you just need some persuasion." He watched her walk towards the girl, take out a pocket-knife and make a small incision in the palm of her hand.

"She's out cold, now hurry."

Sai stood in horror, his eyes were only trained on the deep crimson that was seeping from the newly inflicted wound. He licked his dry lips and the scent caught his nose.

He sniffed the air, eyes focusing on the prey. Sai began to close in, he launched for the unmoving girl, pressed the back of her neck against his shoulder and allowed for his fangs to sink into her flesh.

She didn't flinch, just stayed still. From afar, Vivienne smiled, "Good Sai." He tuned her out and focused on the delicious taste that entered his mouth. His nostrils flared when an image of a pink-haired girl entered his mind.

He pulled away, blood staining his face, out of breath, gasping. Vivienne stared at him, "Finish. You need it." He shook his head, let the girl go and touched both sides of his face. He let out a despaired cry, his eyes wide, realization hitting him.

He covered his nose with the sleeve of his shirt to keep the smell of blood at a minimum. Vivienne went to grab him but Sai was too quick and got out of the way, "You'll go insane if you don't finish her off! You're not strong enough yet!" She called after him.

He was losing his mind. He ran, others tried to stop him but he cut right through them, slicing a few in half. Sai didn't know how he was able to do that and he didn't care right now, he just needed to get away.

The pink-haired girl wouldn't leave his mind. He craved her, wanted her, needed her. -more importantly, he wanted the red blood that he hungered for.

He closed his eyes for a moment, new smells invading his nose, making him cringe and cough in disgust. He was outside now, sniffing the air and knowing exactly which way he had to go in order to reach her. He could smell her sweet scent and it would lead him straight to her.

"...Sakura.." He growled low in his throat.

As he looked up at the skies, Sai knew that his human self was long dead. The day he died.. December 9th, 2008. -a day he would hate forever. A day when he would mourn over his mortal self. The dead part of him.

...Non-existent.

Now.. -Sai was a vampire.

She snuggled deeper into her warm bed. She had just finished showering; Sasuke had bid her a solemn goodbye in the late evening. Now she was awaiting the sound of her aunt's car to pull into the driveway. It was already past nine-o'clock, her aunt wouldn't be home for at least another hour.

Yawning, Sakura turned on her side and pressed her cheek more firmly against the pillow. A content sigh left her lips, everything was quiet, perfect.

A gasp strangled to leave her throat. The loud sound of glass shattering caught her ears and yet... she was too paralyzed to move, to speak, even tremble with the fear that welled up inside of her.

She heard someone walking over the broken glass, crunching sounds. She shuddered and slipped out of her bed, grabbing the pillow and using it as a shield. She saw the moonlit figure, stealthy.

-a vampire no doubt.

The phone rang. Suddenly catching the attention of the vampire and Sakura. She dashed for the door, grabbed the cordless-phone, and answered the call.

"-Sasuke!" She screamed into the phone, knowing it was him from the caller-I.D. He began panicking, "What's wrong?!"

Sakura turned towards the stalking vampire, her pillow still in hand. When he sprinted for her, she used it to hit him, unfortunately, he saw through her defense and yanked the pillow from her hand.

She gasped in shock and before she knew it, she was being flung to the ground and skidding along the wooden surface until she eventually hit a wall. The phone was not in her reach any longer.

Once her vision cleared, she saw him. The elegant creature, illuminated by the moonlight streaming through her broken window. -and she knew.. this beast wasn't anonymous...

"..-S-Sai..." She managed to breathe out, her lungs wanting to giveaway from all the harsh breathing she had been doing.

He paced back and forth, his red-ish eyes glued on her. Sakura watched him lick his lips, like he couldn't wait to taste her.. -and then he lunged towards her, she tried getting out of the way but he caught her.

He slammed her body against the wall, his red eyes glancing at her face.

"-Sa...kura.." he rasped through gritted teeth.

Said girl struggled against Sai's tight hold, his fingernails dug deep into the skin of her arms, he pressed his body to hers and allowed his lips to linger on her neck. Sakura could only manage to suck in a quick breath before searing pain ripped through her.

His fangs clutched at her skin, ripping it, piercing it and drawing that sweet crimson he desired so much. He listened to her slow, heavy breathing. He smirked at the taste, it was delicious but when he tried pulling away he found that his control was lost.

There was a commotion in the background, all Sakura could do was close her eyes and let out a small cry. Then.. in a flash, the pain dissipated, Sai was no longer huddled in front of her.

Instead... Sasuke was currently fighting him. His fist connected with Sai's jaw, sending him crashing to the ground. There was grunting and struggling, Sasuke jumped backwards and rushed for Sakura's collection of perfumes.

He grabbed one and tossed it to the ground where Sai was standing. He sniffed the air, recoiled and fell backwards again in discomfort.

The Uchiha gathered Sakura up in his arms, and brushed the hair out of her face, she tried her best to smile but couldn't.

"Sakura, does it hurt?"

She nodded, yes, and touched the side of her neck where Sai had bitten her moments ago. Sasuke pushed aside her hair and looked at the two large fang marks the vampire had made on her neck.

"He's a rogue-vampire, Sakura. There's nothing we can do about it."

Her body shook with fear because she knew what a rogue-vampire was. Sasuke had explained his vampire-world to her a day or so ago. She recalled all the gruesome stories but the rogue-vampire would always scare her the most.

"S..Sai." she whispered against Sasuke's shoulder. The male shook his head, as if to clear his thoughts, and touched his forehead lightly. His glazed-gaze landed upon Sasuke and Sakura but more importantly the blood.

He felt a trickle of her blood run down his chin and then fall to the floor. He sniffed the air, the perfume still lingered but so did the blood and it was slowly overpowering his senses once again.

"Careful.. he's not in control of his body anymore." Sasuke whispered, warning the small girl in his arms. "I'll definitely keep you safe, even if I am human." She breathed in and out deeply, trying to regain her regular breathing.

Sasuke released the girl, stepped towards Sai with outstretched arms. The closer he got to the rogue-vampire, the slower and more hesitant his steps became. When Sasuke was close enough, he could barely hear Sai's whispered words.

"..I'm not human... any longer. -kill me now. Please!"

Sasuke took hold of Sai, one arm under his jaw and the holding back his flailing arms, "Get away from me!" he screamed at the male. Sasuke stood his ground, prepared for anything to happen.

"Sakura..." he murmured, his eyes un-focusing before he fell limp in Sasuke's death-hold. Sakura eyed the two men, "Is he-" he shook his head and laid the vampire on the floor, "No. He'll be fine, just needed more blood."

He sighed, "Where the hell are we supposed to put him? He obviously can't stay here and if he goes home he'll attack his family."

Sakura blinked her eyes, "How about that abandoned warehouse? It's boarded so he shouldn't be able to get out very easily." Sasuke nodded, "It'll have to do until I can figure something out."

He scooped up the male again and headed for her bedroom door, her voice halted him though, "He'll never be human again, will he?" She heard him grunt but never turned to face her, "You already know the answer, Sakura." -and he left her house with an unconscious vampire in his arms.

He would make sure to stay there until he regained consciousness so that he could explain things properly and hopefully it wouldn't result in any sort of a fight.

Sakura allowed the wind that blew into her room from the destroyed window to wash over her. Somehow, she wished that all this was just a dream. That she would wake up in the middle of the night and know that Sai was still.. alive. Not some rogue-vampire that only wanted to feed.

Her blank eyes watched the moon, that's when she felt like apart of herself was suddenly gone. The part of her that was attached to Sai had vanished when his human-half died.

Sai was already on the floor of the second level of the warehouse. He still hadn't regained consciousness but Sasuke was sure to wait it out however long it might take.

"..stupid vampire... hurry and wake up." He grumbled angrily to himself. Once he caught movement, he looked over to where Sai was and was happy to see him moving around somewhat.

"Finally." Sasuke exasperated. Sai was groggy, he touched his throbbing jaw and looked over at the other male.

"Sorry about that." He apologized with a chuckle. Sai didn't respond to the apology but glanced around his surroundings instead. "W..where the hell are we?"

Sasuke crossed both arms over his chest, "A warehouse." He spoke casually. Sai growled, "Why?!" Sasuke glared, "You have a lot of explaining to do so don't start getting snippy." He warned.

He smirked at the cooperation, "First of all, what do you remember happening in the last twenty-four hours?" Sai contemplated his question and looked up at the dark ceiling, "Eh.. let's see. -I woke up, brushed my-"

"-anything significant?!" Sasuke shouted, Sai glared at him, "That is significantyou idiot!" Sasuke rolled his eyes, "What I meant was, did you experience anything strange!"

"Waking up in a fuckin' warehouse with you!"

He sniffed the air abruptly, "Hey! What's that smell? Wait- blood? Why is there blood on my face?!"

Sasuke let out some air, "You're a vampire, Sai. You attacked Sakura earlier when you lost control but she's fine now." His face grew distant, his lips formed in a snarl, he made a fist and punched the ground, "D-dammit! I bit her, didn't I..?" The male nodded slowly, "Who transformed you?"

Sai placed the palms of his hands on either side of his head and grunted, "I couldn't see him, but.. there was a woman. She had blonde hair, that's all I can remember."

Sasuke looked down at the floor, "..Vivienne... you fuckin' liar." He mumbled under his breath, his teeth bared. Sai seemed distressed, suddenly he was standing up and racing towards one of the boarded up windows, trying to open it until Sasuke grabbed him.

"Stop it! Let me die! I hate what I've become, so please!" Sasuke landed a punch to the side of Sai's face, sending him to the floor, "Stop hitting me already!" He screamed. "I'll hit you when you act like a complete moron."

Sai turned his back on Sasuke and slumped his shoulders like some sulking child. "..I know the feeling of detesting yourself but I need to know everything that happened." Sai jumped to his feet again, "I told you! I don't remember anything else!"

Sasuke watched with slightly curious eyes as Sai dug through his clothes until a silver gun rested in his hand. Becoming alarmed, Sasuke reached forwards but stopped when he saw Sai flinch and press the gun to his temple.

"-wait! It'll break Sakura when she finds out you killed yourself.. think about it and stop being irrational."

Sai thrashed his head violently, "I-I can't keep... fuck! ..Sakura, I.." He cocked the gun, sending Sasuke into panic, "Sai! Listen to me, dammit! Don't do this to Sakura, you're going to hurt her!"

The gun fell from his grip, he looked at his shaking hands and then at Sasuke, his face white, "I can.. smell her. That woman.. she's knows I'm here." Sasuke looked around quickly, "You're going to leave with her?"

"What else am I supposed to do? Go home and eat my fuckin' family when I get hungry! You saw what I did to Sakura!!"

"I know! But whatever you do, don't trust that woman, she's lying to you. Stay here and I'll figure something out, okay?" Before Sai could complain, Sasuke quickly took the fallen gun just in case Sai was feeling particularly self-hateful.

"If I could co-exist with humans, so can you, just give it some time and learn to hold back." Sai reluctantly nodded his head slowly, running his fingers through his short, ebony locks of hair.

After Sasuke left, Sai was alone to ponder. He thought back to the memories of his human life, most of them seemed blurry to him. He trembled in the cold, darkness, wrapped his arms around himself and sat against a far wall.

"I.. feel so different now. -like I'm not me..." He whispered, his voice echoing in the empty warehouse. He let his head fall back against the wall, bit his bottom lip and spoke quietly, "I want to be there for you Sakura.. to be near you but not when I'm a monster.. Now that Sasuke's human... he's perfect for you, so be happy with life."

He listened dully to the whistling wind that entered the room from cracks and holes in the wooden boards blocking the windows.

"I lose."

Chapter Six: Annihilation

-

"Ah.. you've made my master so thirsty, Sakura." She spoke in a soft tone, approaching the shaking girl. "-but you'll fix that, won't you?"

"W..where's Sasuke?" She demanded, being brave. The vampire shook her finger at the girl, "I'll be asking the questions but.. if you must know, he's taking care of your rebellious friend."

"..Sai." she whispered to herself.

-

Oh... the pain came and the pain went. It was like dying a thousand times in repetition; endless.

And then a thought overpowered the pain.. he would hate this. Hate this body, hate this being and everything that came with it.

..even the dead heart he had loved. -and the beating that stopped...

Not even tears were enough.
