I sat on the ground plucking some small pieces of grass, and watching the two boys. After getting over the shock that Sasuke knew Naruto, I ushered both of them to the city park were we could talk. I wasn't comfortable with all the stares that we were getting when everyone saw the two boys glaring and obviously muttering some nasty stuff. Sasuke just looked blesterk! I hope I'd never get him that mad… put paying attention to them again, I huffed.

"How old are you two?" They looked surprised at me, and then both answered "16." Dang it, why was I always the youngest? At 15….grrr them. ANYWAYS…

"And you're acting like two 5 year olds who saying that a stupid toy car is both of theirs when really it's somebody else's! Clam down! Just tell me how you know each other please! I hate being left in the dark." Why did Sasuke look kinda sad when I said that? But both boys looked at each other and make it sure look like they knew something that I didn't; yeppers people, I sure am in the dark.

"Awww come on, tell me!" I said and both looked at me blankly. Grrr.

"Let's just say that we knew each other a long time ago and then lost touch over time. It's complicated Sakura. Ok?" Sasuke said sincerely to me. This guy awe-mazed me; he was so nice, and acted as he knew me all his life. And I could tell he didn't act that way to all people that he met. It's not like he liked me…nobody was that stupid to fall for an oddball pink-haired girl that was always day-dreaming about being somewhere else and maybe being a vampire…no, never….

"Ok…" I said trailing the sentence to nowhere. Naruto stood up and stretched, putting both hand high into the air and smiled his bright smile to us.

"Iruka wanted me home about 10 minutes ago…tehehe. I better go or else he'll hide all the ramen again!" I smiled and shook my head. Naruto and ramen. That got scary sometimes…really. I've seen him with no ramen for 3 days…and I never want to see it again. So Naruto waved bye-bye to us and walked away leaving it only Sasuke and I at hand. I suddenly felt odd, and it was kinda odd when I could tell Sasuke was staring at me. I dared to look over at him and indeed saw his deep onyx eyes were on me. I blushed alittle and saw him crack a small smile when I did. So I just blushed harder and looked away.

"Wanna walk home together?" He asked. I looked back at him.

"Well, were do you live?" I saw something flash across his eyes but I couldn't tell what.

"Oh that doesn't matter. Just that you get home safely." I smiled and stood up and so did Sasuke. I looked at him oddly when he came over to me with his hand reaching out. His hand went into to my hair I could tell. He looked at my face and showed me what he was doing.

"It was bugging me." He told me as I stared at a twig. I guess what I laid back to stretch without getting up I did that… I muttered thanks and we both started to walk towards the bike rack were our bikes were. Mine was really a silver and red mountain bike. Sasuke's was a boy's mountain bike that was black, what looked like as if the black had been a second layer that had a coat of dark blue beneath and somebody had taken a pocket knife and in some areas had scrapped off some black to show the blue underneath. AKA: It looked wicked! (AN: That's what mine is, but purple! XD XP)

Sasuke got up on his bike and waited until I was ready til' he started to ride off. We kept a slow pace riding side by side. I looked over and was talking to Sasuke and wasn't noticing when a car suddenly loses control and almost hits me if it wasn't for Sasuke jumping off his bike and pushing me off mine. I yelped as I landed on the grass with his arm around my waist. I grabbed it as if I didn't, I would suddenly die. His hold tightened but in a gentle way.

"You OK?" He asked holding me close. I was in shock. I had almost been hit! Omi gawd… But I hadn't…Sasuke had saved me… I got up some and looked at him. He looked real worried. But I meant it people when I said that nobody would go or care for an oddball like me. And was so nice to me, and had just saved my life… So I glomped him in a hug.

I could tell that he tensed, but he held me as I cried some on his shoulder.

Over time, everything got straightened out, and it turned out that it was a guy that had been real sleepy from a job that he just got off of and had closed his eyes for a second. Oddly, Sasuke looked real non-emotional when the driver was around. I wonder why… Sasuke was a complete mystery to me sometimes! But the driver looked maybe 17-18? And had a gray colored hair that was in a low pony tail and wide circle glasses. He too kept looking at Sasuke and acting odd around him. But when the cops asked if he knew us, it was a flat no. Hmmm… I'm in the dark again people! GRRRR!

But anyways, over time Sasuke and I DID get home. It was getting dark cuz' the accident took some time. When I got home Dad didn't say a thing as I walked past the living room and went up the stairs. We lived in one of those looooong set of houses that two stories, and really thin, and all the houses are real close. Yeah, I live in a white and baby blue one. I sat in my room for a while, and then went online to my secret site with Naruto that had DOUBLE sets of passwords. This thing had the secrets of secrets. And I was gonna add my journal entry for the day. And as I wrote about the car accident…I noticed something…

That car had been reported at going a steady 65 miles per hour and had done the swerved so suddenly, some witnesses almost didn't see it. So how did Sasuke? And what kinda luck did he have at knowing that and knowing it so fast, and helping me so fast?!?!?!?!?!?!?

OoOoOoOoOoO

"Kakashi." I called out in to the apartment and then saw him as I turned the corner into the kitchen. I threw my school bag onto the seat that was next to the counter. I stood there and rested my elbows against it and scanned all the papers that were spread out across the counter that Kakashi seemed to be reading.

"He's onto us." Kakashi looked up and his black dot eye looked tired probably from all the reading. He had been at it when I awoke for today.

"Kabuto saw Sakura and I. And almost killed her." I said the last part through clenched teeth. If I had lost her again… bad thoughts…and only bad thoughts were being thought. And some blood-shed of a certain gray-haired bastard.

"I see. Well, I'm looking over all the notes and things that I kept track of Orochimaru. That snake bastard as gotten better. It used to take him months to find us. Now it only took a week. Unless…"

"Unless he was already here and knew that Sakura and Naruto were already here." Damn. That better not be it… I couldn't bare with the facts that he might know more on Sakura than me, and that he might already have a plan before we do.

"Naruto? You found Naruto here?" I slowly nodded. How could I not?! HE found HER before ME!!!! Damn blonde…

"That's a good thing Sasuke. That means if they had tried to attack her before we got here, he could help defend them off for a while." Yeah, what-ever; just let me play the jealous boyfriend….DAMN NARUTO!

"Where's Hinata?" I asked. We had got her out of Neji's clutch and brought her with us. She was also staying with us, but I heard nor saw any sign that she was here at the apartment.

"She went out for a little stroll. Don't worry. The girl doesn't need any bodyguard. And if anything happens, she'll need it! That girl needs to toughen up some." True, true, true. Hinata had talent, and it was obvious, but SHE needed to see it. Also being away from Neji will help hopefully. The damn bastard always telling her that she's crap. So much for treating the higher classmen higher no?

"Kakashi…" He looked up at me as he put the scrolls that he had been reading for so long.

"It's Sakura alright. Not a thing has really changed." Kakashi's eyes softened.

"Really huh?"

"She seems to LIKE vampires, probably only from books. But still…I need to ask you something…"

"Hn?"

"She seems to have these flashbacks, and they're from 1800's Sakura's memories. She painted a scene when it was in the summer, or on a sunny day, and the doors were open, and I was pulling on her hand to go outside to go play. I'm SO sure it's from her memories! Is this something we should have expected or something?" Kakashi thought for a while.

"I guess that should have been something to expect yes, but not fully."

Before Kakashi could go on, there was knocking at the door. We looked at each other oddly, and then I went to go see who it was.

And to see who it was, was not WHO I wanted to see.

"Teme!"

"Dobe."

"Oh shut up!"

"Never!"

"GRR YOU TEME!!!" I was about to tackle him when Kakashi held be back by my shirt collar. I glared at Naruto, then straightened up, brushed imaginary dust off my clothes, and walked away from him.

"Wonder what crawled up his ass?" I heard Naruto ask Kakashi and Kakashi closed the door. I clenched my teeth at that statement.

"Why don't you two sit down and I'll get some sodas? Any request?"

"Orange soda!" Naruto called out.

"I'm good." I also called out as I sat down on the couch next to the arm rest. The dobe sat down beside me, and started to poke my arm. Wait, what the hell? 'Poke my arm'?!?!?!

"Quit that!" I yanked my arm away and again glared at the laughing blonde.

"How did you find her?" He stopped and looked at my intense face.

"I just did" I narrowed my eyes at him, "and just be happy that I did before Oro-bastard got her." I still glared at him for a sec, and then looked away. As much as I would hate to admit it, that was the truth. What IF we did find her too late? Again, I had bad thoughts of what would happen if I had lost her again.

I heard the door open, and softly click as somebody closed it. Hinata - only she would close a door so silently.

"We have company." I said loudly as Naruto looked at me oddly. He must have guessed that it was only Kakashi and I. Hinata peeped into the room to see who it was, and when she did, she quickly popped her head outta the room and could be heard running to the room that we shared. Hey!!!! It was a small apartment….so we HAD tos hare the room... at least she didn't get nosy thank God...

"Hinata-chan?" Naruto guessed correctly so I nodded. I have my love story. Those two are still writing theirs. I just wanted to lock them up in a room already and tell them to confess, and make out already! But damn Naruto keeps saying that he can't, and blah, blah, blah. Drives me nuts.

"Hold." I said as I got up and went to Hinata. I slowly opened the door, went inside after hearing no protest of staying out from the girl, and closed the door behind me. I looked to see the girl sitting on her bed, which was on the left part of the room pushed into the corner like mine, that was on the right.

"W-was I seeing things?" She said – more like mumbled with the way she sat on the bed, hugging her legs and hiding her face in her the space between her knees. I leaned against the door, arms crossed, and answered back.

"No, you saw correct. Yes that was Naruto. And yes, I can tell he wants to talk to you. Maybe you can ask the dobe why he left us, and without a notice that he would do the dang move." Hinata looked up at me, and nodded.

"Just go talk to him." I said opening the door. She got and did, and as she walked by, JUST to get her a lil happier, I whispered 'Good Luck' to her as she walked by. And before she could turn around with shock on her face to ask me if I had really said that, I closed the door quickly and plopped down on my bed.

Putting my hands behind my head, I stared at the ceiling. Being the person I was, I always tried to have everything planned out. And I'm guessing that with Oro-bastard on the loose, I might not do everything I planned. Thinking back to the day Sakura, well, the day she died, I thought about how much it hurt to take off the necklace that I had given her the day I came back from those four years.

I got up and went to my dresser, dug under some folded clothing, and took out a folded piece of cloth and unraveled it. Underneath it all, there was a necklace that I had taken from Mother's secret jewelry box that Kakashi and I found, and had planned – and did on so – of giving to Sakura. It always made me happy every day I saw her to see the sun hit the opal and make it glisten as it sat on her neck. And that was every day. Every day she wore it, true to her word that she would. And that was great; it had my urea all over it, telling other vampires that could smell, or feel it that she was TAKEN. That was why Naruto always kid me about the necklace; if a male vampire gave it to a female, vampire or not, it showed that the male planned that some day they would truly make her his by a small thing you had to do. And had I planned on doing that one day?

….maybe…probably.

I got back on my bed and got close to the right wall, and thought. I was so deep in the deep-thought-mode that not even Naruto could break me out of it probably.

And I planned, as a fool I was, of thinking that any plan I thought of would work, I still planned. I planned on almost a hundred ways I would tell her, on either how I loved her, how things were so messed up. And worse; how I was a vampire.

One way of how I thought would be that she would maybe hate me for it, and treat me like the outcast I was, and would drop me like a burning match. Like how she had done before, or, well, had tried to do before.

Another; She would be fascinated. She would ask me every detail of how I was, what it was like, how to fly. And how I would fill her wonders, let her do anything. Just anything to make, and keep, her happy.

And the best, and the one that put me to pleasant sleep; How she wouldn't care. That she would love me still, and just help me, keep my curse a secret, and stay by my side.

But what got me in the end, was how I knew, that no matter WHAT I planned, hoped for, prayed for, what-ever, that it still might not happen. That there's already a pre-destiny for all of us. And how I wanted Sakura's and mine to twist in a good way. And in a way where that maybe she'd end up fully mine in the end.
