An Evening with El Diablo
Chapter 15
Disclaimer- I don't own Naruto... D: please don't be silent! review! you guys keep me going! and I doint mean that Danzo was madara. I think that it is Tobi. who's body could Kabuto have? maybe it is Danzo's...or maybe it's Tobi. Or Madara is USING Tobi's body as a replacement; he figured out how to use Orochimaru's disgusting body switching immortality Jutsu. idk. but Kabuto could've found Madara's original body. Hmmmm...just something to think about, Neh?
Chapter flashback
"Don't worry, Sasuke-Kun, you will get your turn. It IS past the six week mark, but I may make you wait a little while longer." She giggled, and Sasuke looked back at her, and scowled.
"You're a monster." He muttered, watching as Satochi sucked at her breast fervently. He blushed, and looked out the window. "Hey, what do you think about-"
"OUCH!"
She yelled out loudly, startling the Uchiha. He jumped, and she pulled Satoshi away from her breast. The infant let out a frustrated mewling noise, and she stared in horror at the cause of her yelp. A small thin line of blood slowly made it's way down the curve of her left breast, and then down her stomach. Sasuke followed her stare, and his own eyes widened. Satoshi squirmed, trying to reach the sustanance that his mother provided.
Sasuke...He...He...B-bit me..." Sasuke's jaw hung, and he stared at his son. a thin line of blood made it's way down from the corner of his mouth.
"Itachi has been prowling around. No doubt for this kid." He muttered, and looked down at Sakura, who stared up at him.
"What?" The pinkette asked, wide eyed.
"I have guards posted on the whole premises, Sakura, so don't worry. you're well taken care of. And Shizune is working on the reverseing process for Sasuke." The blond answered for him.
Sasuke rolled his eyes. "He's been able to get in my house." Tsunade visibly tensed, and sighed.
"We'll work faster then. And just what do you plan on doing when you are turned once again?"
The onyx eyed man looked at her, then at Sakura and his son, and thought for a long moment. "Kill him...so he can't hurt my family again..."
Tsunade seemed to approve of this decision, and smiled. "Calm down, Uchiha. I'll send you a supply of blood, so don't worry. We were able to get the toxins out of Sakura's bloodstream before it did any harm...She'll be fine. But I don't recommend breast feeding him anymore. You're going to have to invest in a breast pump or something." She smiled broadly at this last sentence, and Sakura grimaced. The pinkette stood, and bowed.
"Thankyou, Shishou..." She murmured, holding an arm to the infant against her bosom. She walked out, with a seething Uchiha at her back. Tsunade sipped at the small cup of Sake that sat beside the blood work at her desk.
I thought the boy would be a Lychan...not a dhampir...after all...Sakura changed...so...how can this even be explained...?
A few days later...
"So, what you're saying is...by some type of Genetic fluke, hes a Dhampir?" Sasuke asked, confused.
Sakura looked over at him. "Sasuke, you are a...were a Dhampir yourself, and you didn't even know about your own genetic code, or anything you would pass down to your children?"
"Well, I didn't expect to have a kid, much less a dhampir offspring. I was FERTILE. How many times do I have to say this to you?"
"Not many, Sasuke-kun...I just don't understand this at all."
I'm just as stunned as you are..." He dead-panned.
"Maybe it'll turn out good for you. Me too. Not that it already isn't...and Naruto too." She smiled, despite the seriousness of the situation. "I mean, Naruto is spoiling the hell out of her, like she is his own child." Sasuke rolled his eyes.
"God forbid, let him procreate..." he muttered, and she punched him in the side. "I mean, hell," He sputtered in response. "We'll have little demon spawn running around! do you really want that?"
"Awe! Little half kistune demons! so cute..." She laughed, and he glared at her.
They were sitting on a bench at the park, watching little Satoshi play in the sand. He clenched his fists into the strangely rough, yet soft texture. He let out a squeal of enlightenment when Sakura squatted next to him and swung him up into her arms.
She hugged him to her, and stood. Sasuke smiled, and she looked to the right, where the sun was setting. The Uchiha stood, shoving his hands into his pockets, and poked an elbow out toward the pinkette. She gladly linked one arm through his right, holding Satoshi to her with her other arm, and they walked home.
Ino and Shikimaru were waiting for them when they got the the Uchiha Manor. The blond met them at the door, and squealed when she saw the thatch of black as sin hair. "I still can't get over how cute this little guy is, Sakura!" She exclaimed, and Sasuke visibly winced.
"I can't get over how annoying you are- Oomph!" Sakura sent an elbow into his ribcage. He grimaced, and growled at her, while she smiled, and continued their conversation as if he was never there.
"So, Ino, the stuff is in the fridge. Sasuke's is in there, even though he doesn't drink it anymore….That is the potent stuff. Satoshi's is smaller, and less concentrated….It's like a half in half mix with water, which gets smaller and smaller until his stomach can process the good stuff."
"Kay…." Ino nodded, and Took Satoshi into her arms. "Don't worry, Sak, I will take good care of your brat. Shikamaru's got a hold of ours, so don't freak out, okay? Go figure out what the old hag wants from you guys. It must be important, because I heard you guys were on like….permanent vacation or something?"
Sakura thought for a moment, and looked at Sasuke. "Um…..Not permanent, but until a certain threat and situation is taken care of….We….or rather I can't say anything more about it. You know how Tsunade Shishou is…." She grinned at her friend, who returned her smile with a concerned look in her eyes.
"Sak, I worry about you. I hate to say it, Sasuke, but you too. Whatever she has in store for you guys, be it another mission or whatever, you two need to be careful. You're not a dhampir anymore, Uchiha. So….Sakura, watch your back."
"Psh…." Sasuke rolled his eyes. "Just take care of the brat for me until I get back. Don't let anything happen to him. Or it's your ass." He muttered, and turned back to the door. He looked at his son and ruffled his hair with one of his large hands. The baby cooed, and Ino and Sakura marveled at the rare show of affection.
"Let's go, Sakura." He said, and she kissed Satoshi. She followed as he went out the door, and shut it behind them.
Tsunade stared over at them, her hands stacked in front of her face. She wore a grim expression, and Sakura kept quiet, knowing her friend and mentor was upset. She took a breath, and then announced the reason for their calling:
"I have someone is calling for a meeting with a specific person…." She said, and closed her eyes. "It feels like he wants more than what hes saying, but….He just wants to talk…" Sasuke narrowed his piercing gaze.
"Dude, I got this blonde idiot friend of Sakura's who talks way too fucking much, probably contaminating my kid's mind….so spit it out, Hag." He growled, and in response, a sake cup went flying at him. Luckily it missed, but Tsunade was standing when she delivered the next sentence.
"Itachi Uchiha is requesting your presence, Sasuke. I don't know why he is suddenly coming out of the woodwork, but he obviously wants something."
Sasuke had stiffened.
"W-what?" He stuttered. "You're fucking lying."
"Watch you damned mouth kid." She growled back. "I am very stressed out, and I won't hesitate to take you down in this office. Nothing I have mentioned to you tonight is a lie. I feel like I am sending you two on a suicide mission, because I can't send reinforcements. I can only wish you luck in finding out what he wants, and coming out unharmed." She threw him a heavily folded up piece of paper. He caught it, and gave her a questioning look.
"That is the last known coordinance when he made contact with us." He turned, and nearly ran out of the office. "And Sasuke…." He stopped, at the door. "Don't you dare let him hurt Sakura. Or it's your ass."
"Yes ma'am." He answered, grabbed Sakura's hand, and dragged her out of the office.
Later…
Sasuke-Kun…what could your brother want with you now?" Sakura whispered, and Sasuke turned and looked at her.
"I don't know, Sakura….But I just really wish he'd done this shit earlier, when I was stronger." He answered, and straightened out once again on the wall. He inched his way around the brick surface, and into the dim light. "Stay behind me, understand?"
"Y-yeah…"
He stood fully in the light now, scanning his surroundings. 'Too bad I don't have my sense of smell anymore. I could smell these fuckers for miles…' He thought. He started walking once again, up to a large door that led inside a huge, dark grey warehouse.
As his hand touched the handle, some unknown force sent him flying. He flailed his arms in wild, wide circles, tying to keep himself on his feet. He failed miserably, and landed on his back. He smacked his head on the concrete with a sickening crack that left him seeing multicolored spots everywhere he looked. Then he realized something.
Sakura was gone.
The door to the warehouse was open, and he stood and ran clumsily through it, swearing under his breath.
"Sa-Sasuke-Kun!" He heard her yell, and he turned in the direction of her voice. There was a long corridor, and he sprinted down it.
"Sakura?" He ran down to the end, and slid around another corner. "Sakura?" He turned to the opening before him, to see that flash of pink, and a hand reach for him. He couldn't react fast enough. He was grabbed by the neck, and thrown, once again, to the ground. He was thrown with so much force that he skittered a good ten feet, and hit the wall.
"So…This is Itachi's baby brother." A low voice rumbled. "I heard rumors about you; though...you don't seem to do them justice. You're a lot weaker than what everyone says….."
Sasuke pulled his head up, and didn't even pay attention to the guy that stood about ten feet from him with the hungry look in his eyes.
He was staring over at Sakura. She was caught against his brother. Her pink hair contrasted greatly with his black clothing. Those ruby red eyes seemed to bore into his own. "Don't worry, my dear brother….I haven't bitten her…I am merely restraining this wench so my…friend here can have his fun with you…"
Sasuke then looked at the other vampire that stood in front of him now. "I sure as hell am going to have fun with you…Too bad I can't suck you dry. But by the time I am done with you…you will be begging for it." Sasuke moved to crawl away and get to Sakura and Itachi, but he failed. He was grabbed by the arm, and pulled against the cold, stone like creature before him.
"Let go of me, you son of a-" Teeth the size of a dog's canines sunk into his neck, puncturing the artery. Sasuke's eyes went wide, not fully registering what had happened until a few seconds into the brutal onslaught.
He writhed and screamed, trying to get away from the vile, disgusting animal that was draining everything out of him. After what seemed to be forever, he threw the Uchiha away from him, and wiped the red stains from his chin and mouth. "So sweet." He laughed. "I'd forgotten what Uchiha blood tastes like…."
Sasuke hit the ground, hearing Sakura screaming.
"Sasuke! Sasuke-Kun, get up!" She screamed at the top of her lungs. "Let me go, you asshole! How can you let this happen to your own flesh and blood!" She screamed as she struggled against the eldest Uchiha.
He stayed silent, ignoring the near hysterical woman.
"Sasuke-Kun!"
He moved, rolling slowly over onto his side. "Ba…bastard…Let her…let her go…" He stood, but fell back onto his hands and knees. He coughed, and looked up, with a pained expression on his face. The wound on his neck was still bleeding, and soaking into his shirt.
A long leg came out of nowhere, was sent into Sasuke's midsection and sent him into the wall again. His head lolled, and finally fell forward.
"Shut that bitch up, Uchiha-San, please…" The vampire growled, "Before I decide to do her next." Itachi stared at her for a few seconds, and she went from screaming, to small, barely registered whimpers, then was quiet. She went into a trance like state. He set her down, and she fell backwards, to the floor. Her eyes were still open, and looking into the distance, her pupils dilated.
"Back off." Itachi growled, and the younger vampire looked back at him.
"But…Itachi, you said to-" Itachi just gave him a stoic look.
"I don't like to repeat myself…." He murmured in a gentle voice. Sasuke was now lying in the middle of the room, a sapsm running through his body every now and then. He was nearly dead. 'For a human,' Itachi thought to himself, 'He has held on longer than I thought…But…then again, he is of Uchiha blood…'
He knelt down, and grabbed his younger brother by the long bangs that was soaked in sweat and blood. He pulled him up toward his body, then brought his own free hand up to his mouth. Itachi sunk his teeth into his free arm, into his wrist. The blood flow was instantaneous. It ran down his arm, and dripped onto the dusty cement floor. "Drink, my brother, if you wish to be what you were…or we shall leave you here to die..." He murmured. Sasuke's eyes closed slowly.
"You are still so weak….Must I help you with everything?" He pushed Sasuke's face down onto his torn and bleeding wrist, and instinct did the rest. He felt the pull as Sasuke began to swallow, pulling more of his own blood into his mouth.
After a long five minutes of this, Itachi Uchiha pulled his arm away. "Enough," He commanded. Sasuke immediately released his wrist, and Itachi ran his tongue over the gaping wound. It closed quickly.
He swayed a little, but righted himself. The other vampire was at his side in an instant. The eldest Uchiha waved his hand, and the other backed off once more. Sasuke was panting, and fell onto his back.
Itachi looked down at his brother, and smirked. "When we meet again…..it won't be on such peaceful terms, my brother." He chuckled. "One of us will die."
He snapped his fingers, then disappeared, and simultaneously, Sakura snapped back into reality. She sat up quickly, gasping for breath, and looked around.
"Where…"
She spotted raven hair.
Blood.
A body.
The shirt was soaked through, sticking to the leanly muscled figure underneath. Ripped pants. Puncture wounds on the side of his neck that were bleeding profusely.
"SASUKE-KUN!"
Sakura sat on the hospital bed, watching Sasuke's complexion grow paler. Despite the fever that raged through his body and flushed his cheeks, that was the only sign of activity from him. Every now and then, a moan was emitted from his throat, the cartilage in his throat bobbing, and she would lean over him with a cold rag, wiping away the beads of sweat that would form on his face and neck. His skin was pale, instead of it's lightly tanned color that it took to when he was turned human.
Sakura knew. Tsunade didn't have to tell her. He would be dead by sunrise. His heart was failing. His lungs weren't getting enough air, do to the slowing of his heart. The machine beside the bed beeped fast before, but now it was slowing down. Every now and then his heart rate would go through the roof, but it would gradually slow. Tsunade had told her that it was just reflex and pain.
Satoshi was still at the manor, with Ino and Shikamaru. They offered condolences, and wanted to be there with Sakura, but she wouldn't let them.
She didn't know what to do. She didn't know what Itachi's plan was. But he apparently wanted Sasuke to do something before he killed him himself.

'Where the hell am I...' I thought to myself. I couldn't move, couldn't breath right, and God damn it, I hurt. Mainly, the pain radiated from my neck. But the rest of my pain was just... everywhere. Ribs, my leg, arm, head. Especially my chest. I would try to draw a deep breath, but my breathing hitched somewhere in the middle of it.
I wasn't in my body. Everything around me was white. Like I was in some type of endless oblivion. No noises whatsoever. I remember hearing sniffling noise to my right, along with the slow, annoying beeping of a heart monitor. I knew that it was Sakura who was crying. Yet when I tried to reach out to her, I couldn't move at all. I couldn't comfort her.
Then everything seemed to go black, silent, and then slowly shifted to a grey color. Then white. I turned around several times, feeling as if I were being watched.
Just when I thought I would go mad, a shadow fell over me. The sound of cloth flapping around in the wind cuaght my attention, and drew my eyes to the right.
My eyes narrowed.
"Itachi." I spat, and tensed up, ready for anything he could throw at me.
"Sasuke." He was seemingly floating upside down, arms crossed, long hair waving around in the slight breeze. He smirked at me.
"Do you have any idea why you are here...?" He asked, and kept those blood red eyes on me.
I was stumped, but I sure as hell wasn't going to let him see it. "No Itachi, I would presume that you dragged me away from my physical self. But why? I have no fucking clue."
"Hn..." You don't remember?" He suddenly reched out, and poked me in the forehead rather hard.
"You-" I stopped my comment, as memories suddenly rushed in, flooding my head with snowy images of the severe beating I took earlier.
"You..." I faltered, feeling the burning pain once again in my neck, on the left side. "You turned me...What the fuck is in this for you, you asshole?"
Itachi smiled, and closed his eyes as he flipped, and came to his feet. I walked toward me, but I backed up. "You are going to die, brother. You will be a dhampir once more. You were so much weaker than what you were. Humans are so...mortal...I gave you power once again. You just had to drink from another like you, after depleting your human blood.
It was bound to happen soon. You would turn sooner or later. The blood cells and DNA that was left after that Lychan, Orochimaru, injected you with a temporary serum would've replenished itself. There's no way you can turn a vampire without killing him. Why do you think you didn't die, Sasuke?"
I was speechless. So I decided not to say anything. I fixed my brother with a killing look.
"It would've been painful...so I saved you the pain." He finished. "Were you happy with that human, brother?" He smiled. "You were losing your hate. Your goal of slaying me. You grew weaker. Because of a woman. That is sad."
I was seeing red when he said that.
"Fuck off, Itachi." I growled, and a burning sensation seemed to register in my brain. My eyes were slowly changing back to what they were. The curse was coming back. I lunged for him, throwing a fist out at him as I came up to him.
He disappeared. Then reappeard behind me, only to grab me before I fell, and hold me there. He wasn't touching me at all, expect for the insanely strong grip on my bicep, and his lips that barely touched my earlobe.
He stayed where he was. "There is a war going on, Sasuke." He murmured softly.
"What the fuck are you talking about?" I asked, and felt my mouth burning also. My abdomen followed soon after.
"Your son."
This time, I really was rendered speechless.
Okay, chapter updated! Haha! I feel slightly accomplished. now for the others. =.=. we just bought a Honda Del Sol. If you dont know what that is, look it up. it is awesome.
