Language Warning...and auntie bashing.

Chapter 4: Save Me

>>>>>

"Who the hell are you?!" Sakura's aunt questioned from the doorway. She let herself snap, but then she realized? she had an image to maintain around others. Instantly, her facial expression went from angry to sweet. Sasuke didn't buy it. "Ah, Sakura? do you want to introduce me to your friend?" she ground out through clenched teeth. There was a problem... Sakura didn't even know his name. "You two seem awfully charming together?"

Sakura looked away, and Sasuke's grip remained around her waist. "He's a friend? auntie? we were just talking."

"Oh," Her aunt raised an eyebrow, "And how did he get in? Dear boy, you look so scrawny? and pail, I, or anyone else for that matter, would've thought you were a vampire or some starving idiot Sakura found on the streets to be her friend. Dear, do forgive me, I'm blabbering. I would offer you something to eat, however I feel rather uncomfortable offering food to strangers." She fanned herself and forced a dainty laugh. Sasuke raised an eyebrow. 'Bitch.' "You didn't use the front door? and we didn't invite you into our home, you do know you're trespassing?dearie."

Sasuke shrugged. "Actually, ma'am," oh how he hated being polite? He gave a dainty fake half smile to mock her, "I'm-?"

"I invited him. He's helping me with schoolwork. He's been here, he was just in the bathroom." Sakura pointed at her small bathroom in the corner. Sasuke glared at her.

"Oh Sakura, well? you know better than to invite people into our house? without telling me or your uncle." Her aunt said fuming slightly, yet still carried a tight smile on her face.

"Mother!" A shrill voice wailed. Kokoro ran up next to her mom with a cute smile. Sakura cringed? 'Here it comes'? The fourteen year-old's eyes immediately landed on Sasuke. Her eyes lit up, and she sucked her breath in, making herself seem skinnier and her stuffed breasts bigger. Sakura rolled her eyes. Kokoro giggled, obviously trying to get Sasuke's attention. She waved at Sasuke shyly. Sasuke looked away uncomfortably. "Cousin Sakura, is this your friend?" she asked sweetly. Sakura nodded. "Well, hi! I'm Kokoro."

Sasuke rolled his eyes. 'Slut?' He hated Sakura's cousin. She was always around town? another guy every few weeks? She was whiney and spoiled? "Kokoro now wouldn't be a good time." Sakura said softly. "I'm talking with your mother?" Both Kokoro and her aunt glared at her. The girl's anger was apparent in her eyes. Sasuke's arm tightened around Sakura's waist which didn't go unnoticed by her aunt. Kokoro smiled and began conversation with her cousin.

"Oh shut up! You hardly know anything, damn it! Just butt out you little whore!" Sakura snapped at Kokoro. While her aunt was distracted by their position, Kokoro and Sakura began to argue. Her aunt's anger increased ten fold in a matter of seconds.

Before Sakura could do anything, her aunt pulled her out of Sasuke's arms by the hair and slapped her hard across the face, despite his presence. Her aunt hardly noticed Sasuke anymore. She couldn't even see straight from all the anger.

Kokoro smiled from the doorway and glanced flirtatiously at Sasuke. "Kokoro, go to your room." Her mother commanded lowly. Kokoro closed Sakura's bedroom door with a large grin on her face. This was a weekly routine. Kokoro would come home, and if she didn't like what Sakura was doing or wanted what Sakura had, she would accuse her cousin of stupid things and get her aunt pissed off at her... Even if Sakura was twenty-one, she was at a large disadvantage with the fourteen year old.

"Sakura! How dare you accuse your own cousin of being a whore! Do you think Kokoro would honestly do something like that?! Huh?!" Her aunt tugged on her pink hair. Sakura winced. "You're stupid! You know that?! You can't do anything right and Kokoro is fourteen! She knows better than you do! Quit being such a whiney bitch and make some use of yourself! Make yourself look decent so that some moron will get attracted to you and get married to you so you can butt the hell out of my life! At least the moron won't have to have sex with you because you're probably already pregnant from fucking every single guy in Konoha! You fucking wench; you make me sick!" She screamed at the pink haired girl. Sakura began to tear up. It wasn't even her fault. If a fourteen year old called you a slut when you were almost ten years older than her, what would you do?

"Oh? Oh now you're going to cry? Go on you little baby, that's all you can do is cry!" Her aunt continued. Sakura's tears began to fall now, "I'll teach you, little bitch!" Her aunt punched her, and attempted to hit her again, but forgot about Sasuke. He stopped her fist.

Sasuke was angry, fuming. He could hardly see straight. This is what Sakura went through for the past seven years? He glared at the old woman.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you?" Sasuke seethed. The old woman glared at him.

"This doesn't concern you!" Sakura's aunt attempted to pull her hand away. His grip was too strong. "Let go already!"

"Quit whining like a two year old, you bitch." The woman gaped slightly.

"How dare you?! You come uninvited like this and you assume you can control me in my own house?!" With her free hand, she slapped Sasuke. "Let me tell you something boy, if you think you can take advantage of me, just like my lazy ass excuse for a husband does, or this little bitch right here does, you've got it all wrong!" Her aunt began to cry slightly, her tone wavered, "I have to deal with everything around here! I have no time to do anything for myself!" Sasuke grabbed the woman by the neck. She shut her mouth immediately.

"That's what this is all about?!" Sasuke snarled. "Quit taking it out on other people! Are you stupid?! You're drowning in your own self-pity!" He slammed her against the wall. Sakura's head snapped up, fear in her eyes. "You critique others like you're better than them! You assume too much!" Her aunt attempted to kick him. She was gagging. "You were right to assume one thing though, I am a vampire, and tonight I'm going to make sure you see the hell you put Sakura through!" Sasuke's eyes glowed red, he activated his Sharingan, the blood limit he discovered after Orochimaru sired him, just like Naruto and his Kyuubi? that was what the vampire saw in them? their true abilities.

He began to activate his Tsukuyomi to bind her into the time illusion, however, he felt Sakura cling to his arm. Her aunt was passing out. "Please? let go of her?" She begged. He silently cursed his soft spot for her.

"Hn? Sakura," He tried to reason with her. 'What the hell?' You'd think Sakura would want her aunt hung and burned for what she's been doing. He did anyway.

"It's not worth it?" she looked away. He looked at her.

"But-? she-?"

"I don't care. I'm used to it?" He gave up, and dropped her gagging aunt onto the floor, much like a rag doll. Her aunt remained silent for the moment, glaring daggers at Sakura and Sasuke. She had yet to gain her voice back.

"She has no right." He forced her to look at him. She had a defiant look in her eyes. Awkward silence set between the two.

"Y-?you little bitch." Her aunt wheezed and slowly got up, holding her neck. 'Does this lady ever let anything rest?' Sasuke thought. Immediately, he turned toward her. "You little bitch!" She repeated. The woman leapt out and attempted to hit and claw at Sakura. Sasuke stood in front of her holding the uncontrollable woman back. Sakura stayed behind him, trying to avoid her aunt's attempts to hit her. She whimpered slightly.

Sasuke was irritated. This old hag was going way too far with him. Usually he didn't even bother with a person like her, that wasn't until she stopped attempting to hit Sakura and clawed at his face, drawing a little bit of blood in order for him to get out of the way. He glared at her. His fists clenched?

Sasuke grabbed the old hag by the hair and threw her against the wall, receiving a small surprised yelp from Sakura and a scream from the woman. Sasuke grabbed her and forced her to stand up by the hair. "You have no fucking shame do you?!" he seethed. Sakura gasped and ran over tugging on Sasuke's arm trying to get him to let go.

"Please don't! It'll only cause problems-?"

"Shut up Sakura! Stay put!" He threw her off. Nothing could control him right now? His sharingan eyes were blazing. Sakura was thrown onto the floor, fear in her eyes as she watched Sasuke. He directed his gaze at her aunt. "You?" He let go of her hair, grabbed her neck, and sank his teeth in. Her aunt kicked and punched Sasuke. Her eyes were clenched shut, she screamed and panicked. However, Sasuke was reversing the order her blood went up to her neck. She was gagging on her own blood.

Sakura could only watch in horror. Her eyes were wide open, she couldn't move. Her aunt eventually stopped moving, her hands dropped to her sides? Sakura turned her gaze toward Sasuke, who was finishing up his meal. Her heartbeat almost stopped. She felt an overwhelming desire to have his fangs plunged into her throat. To have him drink from her? Her aunt was forgotten. She almost groaned in frustration? how it would feel if his fangs were there, licking and sucking? Sakura's breathing became shallow; she was burning with want. 'What's wrong with me?'

Sasuke finished his meal. At the corner of his eye he could see Sakura was having some difficulties watching, not her aunt's death, but him. He smirked and drew his fangs out, licking his lips. He dropped the now dead body onto the floor carelessly, and stepped over it, returning to Sakura's side. He grasped her chin, "So you liked that did you?" He looked into her green eyes. She chocked. She didn't know how to react? She couldn't look at anything but him.

He picked her up from the floor and put her onto the bed. Sasuke inhaled her scent slightly; it gave him chills. He missed that? He nuzzled her neck, pressing his lips lightly onto it. She shivered and leaned into him. "Are you ever going to tell me who you are?" she asked softly, with her eyes closed, taking pleasure in what he was doing to her.

"You already know who I am?" He bit down slightly. She gasped, "You'll know everything soon?" He pulled away, despite Sakura's protest. "You're going to come with me. I'm taking you away from here." She gave him an awkward look, uncomfortable with the sudden rush.

"But-?"

"Your aunt is dead, and she's in your room. Who do you think they'll blame?"

"Kokoro saw you too? she might blame the both of us."

He shook his head, "I'm going to kill her too." Sakura shook her head.

"Why?! She didn't-?"

"She saw me, called you a slut and? I'm still hungry. Too bad."

"My uncle-?"

"I'll? forget him. He's asleep and drunk? they'll think he killed them." Sakura wanted to object, but she felt? neutral about this. He was rescuing her? and she didn't have a choice, did she? No, Sasuke walked out of her room. Sakura winced; she could hear Kokoro scream from the other side. Inwardly, she wanted to smile, but instead she cringed. She felt crazy.

Sakura looked at her aunts dead body on the floor. She was in disbelief... was her aunt... killed so easily?... that blasted old fart that abused her for a whole seven years? She was killed in a matter of seconds. Sakura studied the body curiously. She poked it slightly.... Her face darkened and she realized, she was weak... too weak... she felt like crying again.

Hinata drove the sword deeper, she growled. Naruto gasped, out of surprise? not out of pain. He pulled her sword out. It was her turn to gasp. "Look missy? I am really not in the mood." Naruto said cheerfully? yet he meant every word he was saying fully. He was angry. He wanted to feed, he needed to? and she just stabbed him. He shoved her out of the way roughly and grabbed her cowering husband.

Hinata attempted to hit him, but Naruto blocked and grasped her hand. She attempted to attack with her free hand, but he grabbed that one too, and pinned her arms behind her back with a single hand. "Stay put." He commanded lowly and plunged his fangs into the man's neck. Hinata was struggling, but Naruto just kept going. When he was done, he released the man and discarded his body.

"Sorry lady, but-?" Naruto began to apologize, but Hinata finally managed to snag her hands out of his and punched him. If she was going to die, she won't without a fight.

She and her husband just came home, from a trip to the hidden village of wind. She has been to all the other hidden villages so she knew what she was dealing with. She hated these beasts? this inhumane creatures of the night. She had no tolerance for them.

Her reason? She was just the third generation? her grandmother? her grandfather, her aunts were all killed by them. A once powerful branch family member named Neji was taken, and most likely slain by them, and then the blame had to be on someone, anyone.

Hell broke loose in the Hyuuga household, who once lived in Konoha, but only a few knew about the vampires. They didn't want history to repeat itself? They left the leaf village and came here? an isolated area further away from the village; that was around the time Neji lived.

It was all because of the vampires. The head family and the branch family blamed each other, all because they weren't strong enough to protect him, or they were a failure to their ancestors? Little did they know, Neji also blames the head family for his own kidnapping, and for what he became.

Naruto ducked Hinata's next punch. He knew what she was upset about? he could read it. So that is why? he now knew why Neji wanted revenge. He blamed the head family for everything? interesting. "Look, I'm not going to do anything to you." Naruto stated finally. Hinata didn't look convinced. She kept at it. He grabbed her wrist and forced her to stop. "Oh, just quit it already! You stabbed me, isn't that enough?"

"You killed my husband?" she scowled?

Naruto scratched the back of his head. "Well, sorry about that." he shrugged.

"Saying sorry isn't going to bring him back!" Naruto looked at her? reading her thoughts.

"You never wanted him anyway." He said. Hinata gasped in surprise.

"How did you-?"

"Ya pick up interesting abilities when you're a vampire?" Naruto smiled. "So don't act like you're all mad. You don't look like the type to be anyway?" Hinata was now extremely surprised. This guy was weird? he was friendly. A friendly vampire? The guy just sucked all the blood out of her husband! She thought he was going to suck out all of her blood too. "I'm really sorry my kind did that to your family though? but it's not all of us? It's not my fault your family is messed up." She slapped him. Naruto didn't react.

"What do you know?" her voice got quiet. She was upset slightly at the fact that this vampire was different, and he invaded her privacy and he knew everything! She felt shy again?

"Guess I deserved that, but whatever lady?" Naruto began to walk off. "I'm done for the night? and yeah?" Naruto didn't know what to do. This was awkward? Hinata was staring at the dead body. "I'll take care of him? I doubt your family will miss him either." She stared at him. "He was a hard ass huh? And he violated you a lot now didn't he? ah, you poor girl." Naruto muttered. He blinked. "I uhh, I'll be going now." He picked up the body and raised his eyebrow at her. " He was answering all of her questions? just reading her thoughts and answering everything. She was having fun. At least she didn't have to talk as much. Naruto smiled. "Thanks for the nice meal?" He said and took off. Hinata blinked. 'What? what the heck just happened?'

"Let me go!" Tenten struggled against her restraints. She finally had a good look at her kidnapper. He had the byakugan eyes? 'Who is this guy?' "What are you going to do with me?" She tried harder to escape, slightly cutting herself.

"Quit struggling because I'm not going to let you go." He growled.

"Why? So you could sniff me all day?" She questioned with a slight hint of humor in her voice. Tenten raised an eyebrow. He had a such weird fetish...

"Hmph." He glared at her.

TBC?

>>>>>

Sooo... -_- I guess I should explain somethings. Each character picked up something different when they became a vampire.
Naruto can read thoughts, and he developed the kyuubi, which is why he's always scratching the back of his head. Fleas.. Just to add a little kick.
Sasuke developed sharingan and he can hear very well.
Neji has the byakugan eyes already so He developed the genjutsu of his clan called "gentle fists" and he can smell... obviously.
Later on, you'll see that Shikamaru can control minds, and he has the shadow imitation thingie...
Can't say much more cause it'll ruin the story, if you really want to go on though, this fic is posted on ff.net (same pen name), now with nine chapters including the prologue. There's only four including this one here, I don't want to post them all at once, but I'm leaning toward that option.

Sasuke... with fangs... *dies of bishi-ness overload*

*5 minutes later*

Yah!!! Sasuke IS taking Sakura away!!! Sakura deserves her freedom after living with that blasted aunt and cousin of hers!

Ooh, and the Naruto and Hinata scene is cute. This is so perfect! Since Naruto can read thoughts, even if Hinata ends up shy around him in the future, he'll still be able to understand her!!!

And Tenten is just trying to ask for an early death by teasing Neji, isn't she?
