Since I'm moving, I tried to finish a chapter ASAP for you guys! I might be updating soon, so please forgive me :D I hope you guys enjoy! :)

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.

I mentally prepared myself for the worst; remembering my old life back in New York, I guess I did have a happy life back in New York. I mean I am a good daughter to my mom, right? I can't believe I'll die like this, being sucked dry by a vampire. That is not how I imagined my death to be, I was hoping for a more dramatic and heroic death, you know like the ones in the movies where you get killed because you sacrificed yourself for someone… or something.

I can almost feel Sasuke's fangs on the base of my neck and my skinned tingled at the feeling of the tip of his fangs on my skin. I can't believe I'm actually anticipating it!

I closed my eyes tightly and bit my bottom lip, waiting for Sasuke to sink in his fangs into my skin. Come on, just do it already, you hob knocker.

He must be hesitating because he stopped moving.

Seconds turned into minutes. After, what I assume, ten minutes, Sasuke leaned back a bit and kissed the base of my neck. Then he started chuckling, "I can't believe the things you think inside that small brain of yours,"

I looked at him dumbstruck, my mouth wide open. What the hell just happened? I don't know if I should be grateful for him for not biting me, or get angry for playing with me like this. This is a sick joke, man. You can't trick people into thinking that they're going to die or something. Ugh, that freaking asshole.

Sasuke must've seen my face, because he laughed harder, and then he's gasping for air as if his life depended on it. To be honest, I didn't think Sasuke could make that kind of laughter. He's way too serious and cocky to laugh like a normal person.

"What the hell what that for?" I glared at him.

Sasuke wiped the tears coming out of his eyes with his thumb, "You really think calling me gay would piss me off? HA! I can hear your thoughts clearly, piggy." Sasuke smirked at me and then laughed his ass off again, trying to not roll on the floor.

I wanted to lash out for being called a pig, but now is not exactly the right time, seeing Sasuke laugh his ass off. So I just stood there with my arms crossed, waiting for him to calm down.

After a few more laughs and gasping for air, he finally stopped and composed himself. "Done laughing at me now?"

"You should really protect your mind, I can read your mind without even trying,"

Protect my mind? What the hell is he saying?

"It means, even the lowest kind of specie can read your mind without trying, in short, your mind is open to everyone here," Sasuke explained in this I-am-the-boss tone he always use on me and probably to everyone he talks to.

"How was I supposed to know? For all I know I might not even be a witch,"

Seriously my face is exactly like this emoticon, -_-

"Well, you should be grateful that, Sasuke Uchiha, isn't the kind of vampire to eat ugly witches," There goes his cocky tone again, thinking everyone should kiss his stinky feet and bow down to his "Royal HIGH-ness" Seriously, I have no time for this.

"Whatever, I got to go, bye ass," I wave my hand at him and turned around,

"Wait,"

I turned my head and said, "What?"

Sasuke smirked once more and said, "Saturday, 2 o'clock, at the coffee shop just across the school,"

Before I can say anything, Sasuke disappeared in a blink of an eye and then I'm alone in the gym.

Whatever, who said that I'm actually going to show up? Tsk, ass.

Someone called me from the bush beside the exit of the gym, "Ino!"

I walked closer to the bush to identify the person calling me, seeing no one, I turned around and started walking. I must be hearing things then.

"INO!"

I turned around to where the voice is coming from again, my eyes wary. After what Sasuke did to me, I feel like its Sasuke playing his jokes again.

Then out of nowhere, Sakura materialized out of the tree. "OH MY GOD." My jaw dropped, "How'd you do that?"

Sakura ran towards me and patted my back, "I'll tell you later but you need to go to Tsunade-sama's office first I heard she's asking for you. And you better not make her wait," Sakura warned me.

"Um, okay. Thanks for the tip," I walked away from Sakura but she shouted, "GO, WALK FASTER!"

Okay, okay. Then I started running until I couldn't see the gym anymore.

Tsunade sits across me with her eyes closed and arm crossed. And I can tell she's beyond pissed off. Uh-oh.

"Ino, what time is it?" I can tell that she's trying her best to keep her voice calm.

I fiddled with my fingers and looked up, "Eh, 2:40?"

Even with all the running I did, it still took me ten minutes to get to the office. Since, you know, the school's FREAKING HUGE.

Tsunade slammed her hand on the table, making me flinch, and stood up. Her eyes glaring at me, "I don't tolerate students who are late. You better come here on time now, Yamanaka,"

I bowed down and apologized, "I'm sorry, I will never do it again,"

Tsk, it isn't my fault that the school's big and I'm new…

"So the teachers were right, your mind is not blocked." Tsunade said while giving me a look that made me wish I knew how to block my mind. For some reason, I didn't want to disappoint her.

Tsunade stood up and walked around the table to stand beside me. She put her hands on each side of my shoulders and closed her eyes, while deeply breathing in and out.

After a few seconds of stillness, I was suddenly sucked into a world of darkness. It feels like I'm in a cave, I can almost see the bats sleeping upside down right above me. When I looked at the walls, there were hands trying to reach out to me, I touched one of the hands, but it became slimy and it suddenly turned into slug, and it's big mouth opened and covered my entire hand. I began panicking and waving my arm around to make its mouth loosen it's grip, but the slug has its sharp teeth holding my wrist in place, making me bleed. I screamed, trying to throw this monster off of me, but it was no use. The longer my hand stayed inside its mouth, the weaker I'm becoming, almost as if the slug was trying to suck the energy out of me. I can see the slug trying to suck out everything, my entire arm becoming like skin and bones, without any meat in it. Then it hit me that, if I don't do anything about this, my entire body will become like that.

I looked around the cave looking for something to take this slug off me. An object caught my eye; something on the other side was gleaming, almost like diamonds. I ran towards it, while trying to shake the slug to make it weaker, and grabbed the object. Looking at it closely, it was a crystal sword. Cool, I smirked to myself. Then I remembered where I was and I stabbed the slug with the sword, the slug screeched, making me almost lose my hearing, but after a few seconds, it recovered and continued sucking my energy even more. Suddenly, it's lone eye opened as if to glare at me. Without thinking, I stabbed its eye and green slime oozed out of the eye, and finally let go of my hand. It fell on the ground, twisting and rolling on the ground. Then, it stopped. I didn't bother checking it's pulse, or wherever it is, I know you shouldn't just leave it like that according to the movies but I'm not taking any chances.

I didn't let go of the sword until I was a few hundred feet away from the slug. I mean, it might come in handy when another monster is out there to eat me.

I'm not exactly sure where I'm going, since I don't know where the hell the exit is, and now that my adrenaline rush is gone, I can think more clearly now. How can Tsunade do this to me?

Then I remembered; my wrist is bleeding. I tore the hem of my shirt to stop the bleeding. I tied it around the wound to stop it from gushing out more blood, once it stopped, I continued walking through the cave.

After walking around for possibly an hour of trying to find an exit, I finally gave up and slumped down the floor of the dark place, there really isn't anything here in the mysterious cave, except for the occasional howl from the hands on the cave wall, other than that, only my soft breathing can be heard. I pulled my knees towards me and waited for something else to happen, careful to not touch any of the hands surrounding the cave.

Sitting down feels nice, considering the fact that the slug ate almost all of my energy. I looked at my arm and am happy to see that it's slowly becoming more normal looking and not anorexic looking. I was about to dozed off when out of nowhere, Tsunade appeared, "OMG, I can't believe you're here! Why'd you bring me to a place like this? Do you want me killed?" I shouted at her and pointed my finger at her accusingly.

Tsunade sighed, but it's a good kind of sigh. "You passed,"

What?

Seeing my confusion, she said, "You passed the test to block your mind. Now people won't be reading your mind anymore."

So that's it? I went through all that just to BLOCK. MY. MIND?

"Are you freaking kidding me? Don't you have more relaxing ways of blocking it?" I glared at Tsunade and crossed my arms across my chest.

Tsunade shrugged, "Well there is, but it's going to be weak and it won't last long,"

"At least now, even when someone tried to unblock it, it won't work. Cause this is a high level magic spell, only you can take it off. Not that you know how,"

Is she trying to say that I'm weak? Oh wait, I am since I don't know any spells. Ha ha.

Tsunade extended her hand, "Come on, let's go back to school," I reached out and touched her hand, and just like that we're back at her office again, only now she's sitting across me, like everything's normal and I didn't go through that freaky stuff. "I have decided that I will personally train you,"

My eyes widened, "Really?"

"Yes, I've always wanted to have an apprentice, and now I found the perfect one,"

That's awesome, man! I get to learn spells from the headmaster. I mentally fist pumped.

"But you can't let anyone know,"

"Why not?"

Tsunade leaned toward me and muttered something about "Not wanting to do this" and "No choice" then she said, "Don't tell anyone," She looked at me directly in the eye, hypnotizing me. I felt dizzy all of a sudden, everything became blurry and unclear, and then I heard the muffle of Tsunade's voice telling me to go back to my dorm. I don't know why, but I can't seem to control my body. Before I know it, I was already at the door opening the door.

Today's a Saturday, and I am planning to have the whole day relaxing from everything. Ever since I started training with Tsunade, I'm always super tired after the training, and I can't seem to get my energy back the next day. So thank God for inventing weekends.

I woke up at 10 o'clock in the morning and went to the restaurant to give myself a hearty breakfast with Sakura and Hinata. And let me just say that I had the best waffles I've had in my life. I'm in my bathroom right now, waiting for the water to become warmer. When it is, I filled my up my tub. I took out my robe and stepped into the water. "Ahh, this is the life."

The hot water made my muscle loosen up and all of the tension in my shoulders went away. You cannot believe that a simple activity like this can make me so happy!

I stayed in the bathtub until all the heat went away.

Once the tub was drained, I got my robe and went into my closet. Deciding which sweatshirt I'm planning to wear for a day relaxing on the couch watching pretty little liars all day. And if I still have time maybe I'll squeeze in a Friends marathon too.

In the middle of Pretty Little Liars, when the Liars' learned that Jenna could see, something swooshed behind me. But I was too focused on the show to notice it.

"Hey Ino," something whispered behind my ear. I jumped up and screamed holding the remote in front of me as if it could protect me.

But all I saw was Sasuke so I turned back and continued watching the show.

But all I saw was Sasuke… what the hell is he doing in my room? Well, if I ignore him he'll go away.

What I didn't expect is that he jumped from the back of the couch, using one hand, and settled beside me. I moved away from him, but he followed me. I moved away again, and he followed me again. I moved away again, but since I was already on the end of my couch so I can't move anymore and I'm trapped. Great, he's invading my personal space.

Sasuke pressed his body against me making me trapped in my own little corner.

"Get off of me, you fool!" I pushed him, but he didn't move an inch. Right, I forgot. He's a vampire and he's very strong. Tsk, strong my ass!

"Hmm, I can't seem to read your mind anymore, did you do something to that, Piggy?"

I vein popped out of my forehead. Nobody calls me a pig. NOBODY. I tried to kneed his groin, but he evaded. Damn.

"What the fuck are you doing here, you ass? Can't you see I'm enjoying my day without seeing your ass-y face?"

I'm really getting annoyed now. How dare he interrupt my weekend? Especially in the middle of Pretty Little Liars!

"Well, I was waiting for someone in the café across the school at 2, but that person didn't appear, so I thought why not crash someone else's weekend?"

"If you need to talk about your feelings about some girl standing you up, don't talk to me. Go find a real therapist, they'll probably be more helpful than me trying to kick your groin,"

Sasuke just stared at me, his facial expression showed that he's trying to not laugh, his eyes and lips kind of pinched.

Oh yeah! I was supposed to meet him today, "Not my problem that you didn't hear my reply," I held up my hands defensively.

Sasuke leaned closer, "I always get what I want, Piggy," He reached for the hem of my sweatpants, playing with the strings. All the blood rushed to my face, thinking about how close his hands are to my.. thing, made me uncomfortable. He continued playing with the strings, then without warning he pulled my pants down to my knees, I shrieked and punched his face, then pulled up my pants.

Sasuke grunted and held the place where I punched his face, and just stared at me. Yeah, I'm surprised to, didn't know you can catch a vampire off guard.

Then I threw the pillow at Sasuke's head. "Get out. Now."

Sasuke recovered from the blow and he just stared at me. Suddenly, he inched forward and tickled me at my sides. I screamed when he tickled me, I rolled around the couch, with my right leg on top of the couch and my other leg is in a position that might make a guy think I'm inviting him, but now's not the time to think about it. I laughed and tried to push off Sasuke's fingers, but he's too strong. Which isn't fair since he's a vampire, I'm just a normal girl. I turned to my stomach trying to make it hard for Sasuke to tickle me, but all it did was making it harder to move. And it made Sasuke laugh; I can't believe he's laughing at me!

Sasuke pressed harder onto me, and I can feel every curve of his body. Sasuke laughed harder and suddenly he stopped. I froze too, cause I can feel something on the back of my thigh, something just bulged there. I don't know what it is exactly but I have a pretty good idea of what it is.

I heard him moan, and he sat up siting as far away from me as possible. I stayed on my end and tried to ignore him and watch the TV. But it was so awkward that I can't help looking at Sasuke.

My breath hitched behind my throat we I made eye contact with Sasuke. His eyes are red. And I'm pretty sure that this isn't a joke, it's the real deal. My finger twitched, and just like that he's pinning me down my couch.

I can smell the subtle smell of his aftershave and his minty breath. He reached up to my chin to face him and I closed my eyes. He ran his fingers over my lips, making me shiver involuntarily, then suddenly Sasuke's lips were on mine, kissing me slowly. I can't help but kiss back, after a few slow kisses, he was begging for entrance, I don't know why, but I opened my mouth and let him in. He ran his thumb across and cheek and I wrap my arms around his neck making the kiss more passionate.

When I realized what I was doing, I stopped and pushed Sasuke away.

When Sasuke realized what he did, he moved away from me sitting on the other side of the couch, for the second time. I brought my knees to my chest and stared at the floor.

Without saying anything, Sasuke got up and walked to the door, I heard him shuffle around, probably wearing his shoes, and a second later he said, "See you tomorrow, I-Yamanaka," and with that he shut the door behind him.

Was he about to say 'Ino'?

When I can't hear his footsteps anymore, I put my hand on my chest as if to slow it down.

I cannot believe I freaking kissed Sasuke! Thinking about it made me blush and giddy inside. I screamed and pumped my fist in the air like a crazy dude.

But then it hit me, wait wait wait, I'm supposed to hate him! How could this happen? How could I let my guard down and let him kiss me! Now I can't take this… weird feeling out of my body. Like I want more.

I screamed into my pillow letting all my frustrations out, I cannot believe this is happening, I need to stop and concentrate in my witch studies. He's not worth it, he's just some jackass wanting to warm his lips for some other girl he's going to sleep with later. Yeah, it doesn't mean anything.

I shook my head and tried to get this feeling out of this, now that my plans were ruined, I didn't feel like watching alone anymore, so I got up and called Sakura.

The next day there was a commotion in the restaurant. Everybody was whispering, I can feel the tension and fear in the air.

I looked around looking for Sakura, Naruto and Hinata, I found them by the corner near the salad bar, so I went towards them.

Once I reached them, they both look up, eyes red as if they've been crying. Naruto rubbing Sakura's back, trying to comfort her.

"Hey what's wrong?" I said as I sat down opposite of them.

Sakura looked at me with scared eyes and said, "The teachers said that one of the student in school got killed." She leaned in, "There are rumors that it's the Akatsuki's work,"

The Akatsuki?

"We're going to die, Ino-chan," Hinata whimpered. She looks like a lost puppy waiting for its owner to find her.

"Calm down, Hinata, I don't think it's something the teachers can't fix, I mean they're super powerful," I tried to calm Hinata down, making her feel more relaxed with my emotion wave. It's one of the things Tsunade taught me, cool right? At least Hinata calmed down a bit.

Naruto smiled at me sheepishly, "Sorry for the emotional state they're in, faeries and pixies seem to be 10 times more emotional than a normal person,"

I smiled at Naruto, "It's okay, but what exactly is Akatsuki?"

Sakura looked at me and said, "Since you're new to this world, let me explain. The Akatsuki is a group of mortals that knows about us and wants to kills us. They're basically hunters that hunt our kind, the supernatural. Legend says that if they collect each of the spirit of the descendant of the powerful beings, they will destroy us all, because they think we're evil beings, but if we're gone, it ill harm the balance of nature. That's what they don't understand. The whole supernatural world has been trying to lay low to not alarm them, but some supernatural beings are betraying us everyday, I heard from my mom's friend, Reiko Kitagawa the representative of the pixies on the council, that there might even be students here that works for the Akatsuki."

Hinata sighed and said, "It's so weird though, because the Akatsuki doesn't want to have anything to do with us and yet they ask for our help. The traitors to our kind, that's what they call the supernatural beings working for them. But it's also dangerous because it's they're greatest weapon, since they know all about us now. Centuries ago, they didn't know how to kill one of our kind, but because the traitors told them, our population's depleting." Once Hinata finished, she shook her head as if she's disappointed in the traitors.

Hearing this story is making me really curios. "Oh, now I get it. Do you still have stories about them though?"

Sakura giggled, suddenly happy again, "Curios, huh?"

Wow, faeries and pixies must have mood swings too.

Hinata smiled at me, "It is an interesting part of our history, there are books in the great library though, you can go check it out,"

Knowing that there's book out there about them makes me excited, "Well then, I got to go and check that book out!"

They both giggled.

When I said bye to them, I went straight to the library. I don't know why, but hearing this story's seemed to have a connection with me. Like something clicked at the back of my mind telling me to go find out more about them.

I entered the library and went to the librarian.

"Hi, what can I do for you?" the old librarian said sweetly.

"I need to find a book about the Akatsuki, please."

The librarian seemed pleasantly surprised. "Okay, come this way." I followed her to the back of the library and when I observed the surroundings, it feels like no one has step foot in the part of the library for ages.

"I'll leave you to yourself then,"

I didn't bother replying cause a big book in the middle of the room is glowing. The book must've weight a ton, considering it's size. I felt a pull towards it almost as if it's coaxing me to open the book. I opened the book, amazed at how well preserved it is, considering at how old the book looked.

I opened on the table of contents to find the chapter about the Akatsuki. Once I found the chapter and page number, which is 445. When I flipped it to the number 444, the pages of the chapter was missing, the page after 444 is 464. Which is weird, I checked for any signs of ripping but all I saw was a perfectly intact book with no writings or damages on it.

"There must be magic on this book," I wondered out loud. There must be a spell about making pages appearing in the book. I need to ask Tsunade about this. For the mean time, I'll look up some spells on my Magic Spells for dummies book.

I lift up my hand and said a spell, teleporting the book to my room. I'm getting better at this! Once the book disappeared, I stood up and left the library.

When I arrived at the dorm entrance, a couple of girls were gossiping, talking loudly when they passed by me.

One of the girls said, "You know, the great warlock is going to visit us next week! And I heard that he's going to choose one of us to train with him for the winter break," The pink haired girl with uneven haircut snorted, "I'm sure it'll be me! I'm like the best witch there is in this school,"

The first girl said, "Dream on Karin." Then she flipped her perfectly styled hair.

When they finally noticed me, "Oh look, it's the noob witch who doesn't know anything," They all laughed and giggled pointing at me as if I'm some smelly trash. I stuck out my tongue at them, they gave me dirty looks and walked away, strutting like there's no tomorrow.

Tsk, don't walk like your butt's all that.

Arriving at my door, someone called me, "Hey, Ino!" I turned around to see a brunette girl with buns on her head, when she finally caught up to me she playfully slapped my back.

"Hey, Tenten," I playfully slapped her back. Tenten's my partner PE class, the best one in the whole school in fact, cause girl, she can make anything into weapons, even paper. She's a samurai so I guess that's where she got her talent of making anything into weapons. Lucky for me, our grades are averaged, so even if I suck at the weapon, which I do, wielding class we're taking in PE, I could still pass. YEAH MEHN.

"Did you hear about the Akatsuki attack?"

"Yeah, everyone's like talking about it," I rolled my eyes, I don't know what the big deal is with the Akatsuki, cause you know we have supernatural powers and they don't.. But then again there are the Traitors, so yeah. I don't know what to feel about that.

Tenten looked at me, worried, "You have to be careful,"

I stared at her, "Why? It's not like I'm a powerful witch or something, I'm the new kid, remember?" I laughed it off, but I've been having this feeling like someone has been watching me since the day I arrived here, but I usually brushed it off since it might be one of the ghost students here.

Tenten placed her hand on my shoulder, "Just be careful okay? Don't let anyone fool you, don't trust anyone," The tone she used when she said that sent chills in my body.

Why do I get the feeling that what she's saying is true?

Sorry for any grammar mistakes and please review! I would really appreciate it :) Mwah :-"
