P.S: is the edit manager (for stories) being GAY for anyone else? JEEZ! It's starting to piss me off, especially with the indents/inserts that aren't cooperating the way they used to!! GR!

Chapter Eight: Lost Future

Deep ruby liquid.. flooding, spilling, staining. A soft sigh, willing it all to just end already; for the pain to subside. -a broken heart.

No matter... it wouldn't stop. The crimson fell, coating his clothes and pale, white skin with the red blood. Wide onyx orbs met with apathetic red coloured orbs. A sad, fluttering smile.

Sasuke watched in horror. The female vampire scoffed and used her right leg to knock an immobile Sai to the side; sending him flying before tumbling to the hard, cold ground. Sasuke knew.. that that initial blow had been meant for him and him only; to end his immortal life...

Instead, Sai had interjected at the last minute and was the sacrifice for Sasuke. He looked away from Sai and his icy glare rested on Vivienne who seemed highly amused that she had gotten Sasuke so angry.

"There's no one to protect you now." She said, her lips pulled into a smile. Sasuke dug his heels into the floor, his hands fisted. He said nothing, only charged forwards with the intent to rip out her throat.

-

Sakura collapsed, her lungs filling with oxygen. Her blurred vision had gotten worse but that didn't stop her from getting to Sai. She blinked away the invading tears and sucked in a breath before racing to where he had fallen. Falling to her knees beside him, Sakura placed her hand on Sai's unusually cold one. She heard him struggling to stay conscious and couldn't take the suffering he was trying to endure any longer.

"Sai.." she whispered, her throat constricting suddenly. She squeezed his hand and felt him squeeze back (weakly) her own. "I'm going to stay with you no matter-"

"-until... Sasuke gets back, r-right..?" he murmured, cracking a bitter smile. She pushed away strands of black hair from his half-closed eyes. It had surprised him, when she had all of a sudden embraced him out of nowhere.

"I.. won't let you die." she stated with hope, her green eyes flooded with tears once again. "You're in pain too." he said, touching the small of her back with his hand. "..I'm fine." Sai drew in a breath when pain crept into his chest cavity. He limped over in agony, holding himself, like he would fall apart if he didn't. Sakura held his shoulders, her face clouded with worry, "Sai! Hold on!"

She swiped at his abdomen and was successful. He pressed a hand over his wound and glared at her. The commotion at the other side of the room caught the attention of both Vivienne and Sasuke. She narrowed her eyes, the icy-blue colour seeming to darken.

"Sakura! He's the enemy, kill him!" Sakura's head shot up, her eyes sad, she wouldn't let Sai go for anything. Instead, she held the male closer to her, pressing his body against hers as if to protect him.

Vivienne fully turned towards Sakura and an injured Sai and charged forwards. She was intent on killing the both of them, Sakura was helping the enemy and that would not be tolerated. Sakura saw her coming quickly, her muscles tensed but she refused to leave Sai. Cursing under his breath, Sasuke dug into his holster and held a silver gun in his hand. He aimed and shot. A single bullet embedding itself into Vivienne's backside.

Still.. she didn't stop, only slowed down. She was fighting even as the holy water spread throughout her entire body. Sasuke fired once more.. twice! The vampire fell to the ground, three gaping holes in her back. It was Sai's idea to get one of his guns, he said it would serve as a last resort. And it had.

France, January 18th, 1864

It was cold again. The cool January weather chilling her bones. Her long, blonde tresses were pulled back into a low braid that cascaded over her shoulder. She combed a few strands away from her face and struggled to see through the blizzard surrounding her.

She sneezed and traveled onwards. She had been out and about like any other evening; however.. this particular day was unlike any other...

Vivienne Martin, twenty-years of age, and only daughter of the Lord housing the West Cross Estate. She had wandered away from her chaperon and somehow ended up here. Shaking her head, Vivienne continued forwards, her large brown eyes blinking and her thick lashes batting.

In one swift movement she was seized and thrown to the ground. Her blue, silk walking-gown wet from the snow. She gasped when her corset was ripped, the beads of her necklace torn and removed from around her neck. Her loosely pinned braid, disheveled.

Vivienne looked up at what she thought was the most beautiful man she had ever laid eyes upon. His light-violet eyes watched her intently, the way she squirmed beneath him.

"What is a proper lady like yourself doing all alone out here?" He murmured, nipping at the flesh of her neck. She couldn't form any words, or more.. she didn't understand what he was saying. She was a French-Lady, unable to comprehend nor speak english.

"..please..." she whimpered, her accent strong like honey. When he wouldn't release her, she screamed, "Aidez-moi!" He clamped a hand over her mouth and ran his warm tongue along her neck.

"Hush, petite fille." he breathed, "Vous êtes si jolis." He looked at her blushed face and smirked, "Comprenez-vous?" she nodded hesitantly and shrieked at what he said next in his nearly perfect French-accent..

"Je suis un vampire."

Tossing the gun to the side, Sasuke rushed in Sakura's direction. She looked up at him and then at Sai's paling face. "Is he going to... die?" Sasuke nodded his head in honesty, "He will if he doesn't drink any blood." The male gestured to where Vivienne's deceased body lay.

"I suggest that you drink her blood before the holy water taints it all." Sai threw him a questioning glance before sitting up right with the help of Sakura. "..w-why?"

"She's the one who transformed you, right?" He nodded, "Her blood will replenish your health and keep your thirst at a minimum." the male helped Sai to his feet and to where Vivienne lay. She was a bloody mess!

Sakura turned her head away when she watched Sai lower his head towards Vivienne's pale skin. She looked at the floor instead and then at the black fabric that made up the dress she was wearing. She tugged at the material, as if she didn't believe it really existed. She touched the side of her neck where a pair of new fang marks were.

She felt her heart thundering in her chest and decided upon breathing in and out very, very slowly. She felt her limbs start to shake, like they would crumble beneath her and send her to the floor.

"..Sakura..." said girl turned to face Sasuke. He was nearing her slowly, his arms outstretched, it took her no time to fly into his welcoming embrace. "...don't leave me." she sobbed while he rubbed her back and soothed her with hushed words of promise.

"Are we all done here?" Sai asked, wiping away the blood of the dead vampire. Sasuke looked over at him, "I think so." he looked back at Sakura, "What about the master?" Sai scoffed from afar, "That old man was already taken care of." she looked at Sai, the smile that usually came when seeing his face somehow didn't present itself this time.

"You're still in pain, right?" he asked her, helping the girl to her wobbly feet. She nodded, touching her throat that felt like it was burning in an inferno. "You're going to have to feed on a human for tonight." she looked away. As much as she loathed the thought of attacking an oblivious human, if it suppressed the ache then she would gladly do it.

"It's okay, Sakura." he soothed, hooking his fingers under her chin and kissing her mouth. She pulled away, harshly trying to remove the blood from her lips and the skin that surrounded it. Sasuke had told her to feast on a drunkard at a local club. He had gone with her, making sure that she didn't drain the woman, just enough to satisfy the growing hunger.

"It'll be hard in the beginning but easy later on." she shook her head in disagreement, "H..how am I supposed to go back to my aunt? -my friends! What if I kill them when I lose control?!" she screamed in his face. "They'll be in constant danger if I'm around!" he held her tighter, "I'll teach you to control the blood-lust.." she pushed at him, "N-no! I won't risk hurting them!"

"Sakura, you won't hurt anyone." the Uchiha reassured, patting her back and kissing her face. "You don't know that for sure! No one does!" she looked up at his expressionless face for a moment before continuing, "Isn't there a way to reverse the transformation? Anything to suppress-"

"-no.. there's nothing a vampire can do once they've died as a human." Sakura looked down at her pale-hands, "..so we're stuck like this, forever...?" he nodded and looked over at a silent Sai, his arms crossed and eyes closed.

"..she's right. I'd rather not go home and end up killing my family.. So Sasuke, since you've been a vampire for a while, walk us through it." He sighed, "Your senses are heightened, your faster, stronger. Since I've never been a full-vampire I can only assume that the blood-lust will be much harder to control, even for me.."

"Should we.. travel somewhere else? Everyone will start to become suspicious of the fact that we don't age." Sai came to stand next to her, a grim look on his face, "No, we'll leave once we've all graduated, it'll be more plausible. We can say that we're going to study oversees." Sakura nodded, her bottom lip trembling from the thought of leaving her friends and aunt. -She was the only family she had left and she wasn't too keen on losing her just yet.

Sai spoke up, "It's agreed then. All of us leave Toronto once we've graduated." Sakura perked up and looked over at Sasuke, "But.. you graduate two years before us." he chuckled, "Don't worry about me. I've been doing this for years, no one will suspect anything."

Sakura strode over to her desk and picked up a single bottle of perfume. She tossed it to Sai who -in turn- examined it like it was a poison. He pulled off the lid and sniffed it; almost immediately repulsed by it.

"Ah! It smells like shit!" Sakura giggled, "You would think it smelled nice if you still had your human-senses. -it's perfume, if you lose control then use this to suppress it." he nodded and pocketed the vial.

"Will you need some too?" she asked him, "No, I'll be fine." Smiling, Sakura sat at the edge of her bed and let out a deep breath, "I'm going to sleep, its been a long day." Nodding, Sai left, leaving Sasuke by himself. He walked over to her, "Does that mean I have to leave too?" he pouted, "Unless you want my aunt to come home and find us in bed together." she joked playfully.

He pulled her flush against his chest and kissed her. Sending jolts of warmth sprouting throughout her entire body. She curled her toes and kissed him back with just as much force and desire. He held her still, pushing down the top of her dress so that it was now all bunched up around her waist.

She gasped against him, Sasuke pushed her gently on the bed; now she was lying flat on her back, the cutest blush coming over her. He kissed his way down the middle of her breasts, licking and suckling. Too lazy to unclasp her bra, the Uchiha settled for pushing her bra up. Her creamy breasts spilled out, he didn't take another look and devoured her.

Throwing her head back, Sakura watched with hazy eyes as Sasuke took a taut nipple between his teeth and sucked with his mouth. He drew wet circles around the rosy bud until it puckered sweetly and she cried out.

"..S-Sasuke..." she groaned, blushing even deeper. He could hear the way she was wheezing, the way she thrashed in pleasure. He pulled away, his facade calm, face remaining un-flushed. "You'll need rest, go to sleep and I'll see you tomorrow." he said in between kisses while he put her clothes back in place.

She didn't have any strength to argue with him tonight, besides... she had all eternity to do that. This time, she'd let him get away with it.

Japan, March 23, 2033

She yawned tiredly, stretching her arms above her head and glancing over at Sasuke's passive face. "We've only arrived here a week and nutty-professor has us looking for herbs and other weird things." Sakura slapped him lightly on the arm with a laugh, "He's trying to help us, just be patient." Sai held up a bag filled with odd looking mushrooms, "This smells awful! -can we actually trust him?"

"Of course! He helped us just two days ago, remember?" Sasuke chuckled sarcastically, "We remember but the suppressants he gave us hardly worked." Sakura looked down at her own bag filled with some type of medicinal leaves, "And that's why he's got us scavenger hunting." She reminded them, "-so he can make the suppressants stronger and more effective."

They entered the large cabin and tossed their findings on the empty table. The male looked up from his book and smiled warmly, "Ah, you were faster than I expected." Sakura stepped up with kindness radiating off of her. "Is there anything else you require us to retrieve?" he shook his head, "No, no. This shall do, I'll inform you if I make any success or if I need your help again. Thank you." Sakura giggled, "We should be thanking you for taking your time to help the three of us."

From behind, Sasuke and Sai snickered, "She's really a people-person, isn't she?" the younger male joked, Sasuke simply nodded, "Yeah, I guess that's a good thing, right?" Sai shrugged, "Beats the hell out of me!" he whispered harshly.

Sakura straightened out and bowed her head to the male before taking her leave from the cabin with Sasuke and Sai following close behind.

"We're getting pretty tight on money since we've been spending it on hotels." She mused out loud, her hands clasped. Sasuke was at her side now, "I've got an idea, follow me." and he ran at a fast speed.

"Sasuke, where the hell are we?" Sakura asked in exasperation, her breathing hard from the amount of time they had been running for non-stop. Sasuke took a few steps forward, "I can't believe that it's still here after all this time." he said more to himself. "A house?" Sai asked, "No, this is the Uchiha manor. The house I was born and raised in."

Sakura looked past the male's shoulder and gazed in awe. It was huge for a manor built in the early nineteen-hundreds! "'looks like no one has inhabited it yet." just before Sasuke was about to take another step, a short man walked out from the front door and stopped when he saw the three of them.

"Who are you? And what business do you have here?" he asked, being quite unpleasant about it too. Sasuke was the one who answered, "This is my families house." the male looked at him, taking a moment to overview Sasuke's face before realization hit him.

"You're of Uchiha ancestry?!" Sasuke nodded, "I thought.. the Misaki branch ended almost eighty-years ago! We were going to demolish this manor since there were no living Uchiha that we knew about."

He looked over his papers and then back at Sasuke, "I assume you were told about the Uchiha massacre in the year nineteen-nineteen?" Sasuke nodded, "I believe I am a direct descendant of that branch." he put in with a smirk, the male stared at him for a long time before speaking again. "The Ishikawa branch? Well... seeing as you're still young, I can only assume that Sasuke Uchiha was your great great grandfather."

Sasuke nodded, "I've heard his name once or twice." The male fixed his tie and inhaled deeply, "I'd love to meet with your parents to discuss things." Sasuke looked at him, "Oh, my parents died just recently, I've already turned eighteen so I'm on my own."

The male nodded, "Sorry to hear that but.. seeing as you're the last of the Uchiha clan, this manor and the fortune now belong to you. I'll have you sign the paperwork at a later time." he nodded and left, Sasuke walked through the front door with both Sai and Sakura looking around nervously. "Its been over one-hundred years since I stepped foot in this place." he said with a sad smile. His finger-tips touched the walls, he walked into the kitchen area where he recalled his mother to be almost all the time.

He smiled tentatively at the too-familiar memory that pierced his mind.

"Are you sure those pills were safe to take?" Sai asked, stepping into the Uchiha manor and sliding off his shoes. Sakura nodded, "The professor knows what he's doing, besides.. he's a vampire just like us."

They had each taken two pills and Sasuke retired for the day because he was feeling fatigued. Sakura and Sai had never felt better; although.. Sakura was starting to become worried for Sasuke. He had gone to his room almost five-hours ago and he still hadn't woken up.

Wanting to put her worries aside, Sakura ascended the wooden stairs and quietly knocked at the door before opening it and stepping inside the chilly room. She saw Sasuke in a peaceful slumber and went to leave but his voice called her back.

"..Sakura...?" she spun on her heel and walked to his bedside with a bright smile. "Are you feeling any better?" he finally rolled over, his eyes still closed and his face paler than ever.

"A little." she looked at his face and brushed strands of dark hair from his forehead. Slowly he blinked his eyes until they were opened and that's when Sakura gasped in surprise.

"Sasuke! Y-your eyes! They're.. blue." he jumped out of bed so fast that Sakura had hardly known he left until she saw the now empty bed. She rushed into the bathroom and gazed at his reflection.

"..what the hell's going on?" he asked, touching one of his eyelids and then looking back at Sakura who was just as equally confused. "I have no idea but I think the professor may know something."

-

"Yes..? ah! Sakura!" he smiled, adding some ingredients into a steaming pot before showing a confused face.

"Look at him! What's wrong with Sasuke?" the professor walked over and examined Sasuke's face. He was particularly interested in his deep blue eyes that he now seemed to have.

"It's just a side-effect; it'll pass soon enough." Sakura slammed her fist against the table, all of a sudden becoming aggressive. "..you mean to say that these suppressants can make us human only temporarily?!" the professor shrugged, "It only seemed to effect Sasuke, you two seem perfectly normal."

He looked at Sasuke who seemed a little green, as if he were sick. "Let him sleep it off, the change has probably made him weary. I'll work on a suppressant for Sasuke so that the change will not take charge."

"..what... if we want the change to be permanent?" she asked, looking down at the floor, already knowing the answer. "..Sakura." Sai warned from beside her. The professor paced around, "It can't be done. Creating a suppressant like this is as far as science will allow."

"...I see, well thank you professor."

She took her leave but his final words rang throughout her ears, "Why are you so insistent on obtaining mortality?" she looked down at the mud-ridden ground and smiled sadly; whispering to herself, "..sometimes living forever becomes so tiresome..."

Sneak Peak

Chapter Nine: Defective

-

How could one live forever and not become consumed by envy that you couldn't pass on into non-existence like everyone else around you. To watch death repeat itself over and over but know that it would never grip you. That you would always escape with your life in perfect condition century after century.

To watch bleakly as the World changed and morphed. To experience the forever-alternating seasons in constant motion. To experience more winters than a single person would have experienced birthdays in their lifetime.

Oh what Sakura wouldn't give to just grow old, to know that the endless circle of immortality would cease and she would die like life had intended in the first place.

But... when those words left the professor's mouth, the words that sent her entire world crumbling around her, she knew that she had to do everything to make him better. She would give up her life a thousand times over just to save his but fate wasn't going to accept that and it seemed that his life was being cut drastically short. She was so distant now, just sitting by his side, stroking his feverish-face, whispering endearments to him in the dead of night.

The professor had promised her that he would revert back to normal in only a few days. Now, suddenly days were turning into weeks and then finally the dreaded month. Still... every time she looked into his eyes, the blue colour just seemed to get more and more prominent until she almost forgot the dark onyx colour they always had been.

The day she overheard Sai and the professor speaking, the day she chose to eavesdrop on them in the cabin made her spin and gasp for air. She could clearly read the words: "At this rate, he's going to die.."

-and the way Sai seemed to stiffen at that, made her all the more queasy. Made her want to runaway and forget everything. Forget every heartache, forget everything about the vampire World and immortality. The day she felt as if she too was slowly dying along with Sasuke.

Yet... there was nothing she could do about it but pray and hope that science would pull through. That the professor would walk through the door with a blessed cure in his hands. Sakura knew.. that that seemed hardly plausible, that something inside of her was telling her to stop dreaming false-hopes and to just accept the fact that death was awaiting Sasuke; day by day, he was getting closer and closer to his ultimate demise.

Author's Note: okay kiddies! I think that was a long enough preview to get my point across, right? Haha, gee, I wonder what the ninth chapter is going to be about? Lool, don't worryXD eh.. yes, I added some lime to SPICE up this boring chapter. At last, Vivienne is dead! YAY!! This chapter was only a tad shorter than the seventh one; I think about.. 500 words difference. Meh. DEAL WITH IT!! gah! I'm sooo tired and today in cooking class I nearly vomited! I don't know what happened there but I'm fine now. Umm.... bad news, my bladder infection came back yesterday cause the first time, the antibiotics weren't enough to get rid of every trace so I'm on new and much powerful medication today. My dad picked me up during last period and said: "You have to go to the hospital because of the urine sample the doctor looked at." I was like: "Oh shit." and then he told me that they wanted to keep me in the hospital over night and run some serious tests and i was SCARED out of my mind and to the point of tears and then I found out he was kidding! I was like: "I'm going to KILL you tonight!" argh! I basically had a friggen heart-attack!!!!! Gah! Okay, this author's note has gone on long enough! By the way: on my deviantART homepage, there's the Uchiha Family Tree so you can understand what's happening. Look at the GOOD version!!
