Chapter 6: Retribution

>>>>>

Hinata sat silently in her room, pondering the events that occurred. It had been a few days ago since she met that strange blonde vampire in her home. She was intrigued. How could one, that's so murderous and vicious, be that? caring? It scared her slightly. She was being rash, judging things like that. She shook her head trying to get rid of the image.

It was foolish to think of him any longer, yet she found her thought wandering toward it again. Deciding to get some fresh air and away from the blonde invading her thoughts, she walked toward her window and opened it, letting the breeze flow in. She shivered. Her pearl eyes landed on the moon gazing at its majestic beauty. It was a full moon?

Without a second thought she climbed though the large window and onto the roof. Heaven looked like it was a step away from here she was at. She smiled slightly. Admiring the moon was like a hobby to her. It gave her calm, and it cleared her mind of any distraction. It was her escape?

Neji sighed, half in relief and half in frustration. Since the night Tenten told him about her true intentions, she'd been questioning about his, claiming it was a free trade. He told her that she didn't have to tell him anything, in his own defense, but this Tenten girl was stubborn. For the next few days she continued asking him, until he got fed up with her and stormed out of the house. Unconsciously, bumping into Naruto, Sasuke, and his wife, Sakura, along the way. It didn't surprise him much that Sasuke had his wife beside his side again, he just didn't think Sasuke would be stuck with a bright and bubbly person like her?

He felt rather awkward about it? seeing that Uchiha smiling? or half-smiling all the time made his blood, whatever's left of it, boil. How could he be concerned with such a thing? Neji saw everything in all of his 'friends' and Sasuke had a bone to pick with some man, he just couldn't figure out who, but up until he figured out the Uchiha had a wife, Sasuke had distanced himself with anything on revenge? for a little bit anyway and focused on something completely different. It was obviously something Neji couldn't pick up right away.

Whatever Sasuke was focusing on, he found himself focused the same way on his prisoner. Love? He could laugh. It was probably a different attraction. Lust. Anything between a vampire and a human wasn't possible. Love didn't exist, not in his world anyway.

Now, he had no idea what to do with that woman. She'd ask questions, seek answers, and wouldn't stop until she found the answers she wanted. Persistence can be a bad thing. He growled. He was running, avoiding her? and he knew it.

And now, he finally made it. He was in front of the Hyuuga estate. Tonight would be the night he'd take his revenge and with Tenten locked up, it was certain that he would be the one to kill the baron. His body was shaking with anticipation.

He walked through the house, knowing exactly where to go. His memory never failed him, and here he was? in front of the baron's bedroom door. Neji smirked. The old fart had his leg over his wife's stomach, causing her to make a weird choking noise. He snored loudly too; how that woman could stand it? he would never know. He stared at the two curiously. They looked? different. Heck, they didn't even look like Hyuugas? 'What does that mean??' His fists clenched. He reached out and grabbed the snoring man off of his wife by the neck, causing him to wake immediately. The man was slightly groggy. Neji shook him a bit. The man's eyes widened.

"Answer my question old man, who the hell are you?!" Neji seethed.

"I-?I-?." He stuttered on his words. He couldn't react, everything was so sudden. His wife stirred awake and blinked a couple of times. "Honey, something wrong?" Seeing the situation her husband was in she began scream. Neji quickly released her husband, grabbed a nearby bed sheet and wrapped it around her mouth and neck to prevent her from screaming any further. She shook violently and thrashed around.

"You, shut up or I'll kill you and your husband here and now." He pulled the sheet even tighter. She gagged and began to cry, stopping her actions immediatly. Neji returned to deal with her husband, but during the time he spent gagging the baron's wife, the old man managed to get a knife and waved it defensively in front of him.

"Let my wife go you sick bastard!" he commanded.

"Very noble of you." Neji stated flatly, his cool demeanor unaffected. He took a step toward the baron. The old man gasped.

"S-?s- stay away! I'm warning you!" he took a step back and tripped.

"Just answer the damn question and maybe I'll spare you, who the hell are you?!" Neji questioned angrily.

"I-? I'm the village baron!" he gulped; beads of sweat began to trail down.

"No shit! I mean, why the hell isn't a Hyuuga the Baron?!" Neji stepped closer and was almost nose-to-nose with the man, who whimpered pathetically. Neji's blank eyes remained on the cowering man, demanding an answer silently. Quickly the old man plunged the knife though Neji's chest.

"Take that!" Neji sighed. He'd been here before, but with Tenten holding the knife. It was frustrating him. He neatly drew it out and licked the small amount of blood from it. The geezer sat there gaping in horror, same with is wife.

'I'm really sick of people stabbing me.' "If you don't answer me? I'll kill you right now."

The man whimpered. "O-ok! I-? the Hyuuga's are all gone! Th-they were m-murdered, only a few of them survived! Please don't kill me!" he begged.

"Too vague." Neji held the knife to the man's throat.

"W-wait! I'll tell you more!" Neji raised an eyebrow and nodded. "It? it was a decade ago. The feud between the Hyuuga's continued, and members of this village as well. Th-they killed each other and the Baron also, but there was a girl that survived?" Neji growled. "Oh god! Please don't kill me!"

"Oh? Where is she?" he asked lowly.

"I-?I took care of her? sh-she's somewhere i-in the house. Please, I beg of you, go ahead and kill me but not my wife and Hinata please!"

"So suddenly you're a saint." Neji smirked and shrugged. "Sorry old man, now that you've seen me I can't allow you to live." Silently, he cursed his soft spot. This wasn't the man that caused him his eternal damnation. It was a Hyuuga of the head family. A man with blonde looking hair and green eyes certainly isn't a Hyuuga? 'Damn?' Neji pulled the knife away from his throat. "Tell me where the remaining survivor of the family is, and I will spare you and your wife."

"I-?I can't."

"You can't or you won't? Just say it!"

"I can't allow you to kill her, and I won't let you!" Neji growled in frustration. This old man was getting on his nerves. He changed direction far too much. 'It's decided? someone is going to die.'

"Look you old fart, just tell me one thing. Is she from the head family, or from the branch?"

"She's from the head." Neji smirked. 'Someone is definitely going to die tonight.'

>>>>>

Naruto was hungry? very hungry. His stomach hadn't stopped growling and he hadn't fed for a good three days, big accomplishment for him. Inwardly, he gave himself a pat on the back. However, his need for blood was at its max tonight. A thought came to his mind. Naruto grinned evilly.

That Hyuuga girl he met a few days ago was interesting. There was a problem, he let her live. He felt guilty for killing her husband, but she didn't mind, and she was brave. So he allowed her to live, and now what was he going to do? He broke the pact the four of them made: If any mortal saw them, that mortal shall die by the next full moon. 'Well, Neji has a mortal and he didn't kill her... why do I have to? This is unfair.' He scratched the back of his head irritably. 'I swear I have fleas, that damn Kyuubi,' "Look what you've done..." He muttered mostly to himself.

She seemed nice enough, but looks are deceiving? she probably ran to everyone in the village and announced that vampires were present, and stirred up panic and chaos... Well, that just ruined Neji's plan for revenge, but not for him... He rubbed his hands together evilly. Hopefully it didn't go too far like it did in Konoha. He sighed. 'Might as well take care of the problem now? right?' Nice and brave or not, Hinata would have to go? Naruto rolled his eyes and took off. There was another problem, killing wasn't his forte.

Sakura browsed through the house, exploring for a little while. Sasuke went off somewhere, leaving her to do whatever she felt. She found herself in the library. She always loved reading. When looking upon the shelf she found some strange books? whatever they were, they looked odd? Well, that was one way to put it. Something caught her eye. Sakura pulled out one book and saw the cover, "Come Come Paradise" vol. 1. Curious she opened it to a random page and read? 'He grabbed-?'

Sakura immediately closed the book and shut her eyes, cringing. 'Is this what they read?!' She gulped and daintily placed the book back in its place. Noticing that these "Come Come Paradise" books lined the entire shelf? and then some. Deciding to avoid that particular book altogether, she walked to the other side of the library, studying the other collections of books around. She smiled triumphantly when she finally found something that looked interesting? She began to walk toward a nearby chair, until a breeze from an open window blew in. Her head snapped up and she turned toward the window. Her face lit up. 'Wow? a full moon?' "It's so beautiful," she whispered dreamily.

Suddenly, Sakura felt a chill run down her spine. She instantly knew who it was? Sasuke. He appeared behind her, locking one arm around her waist, the other pushing her hair out of the way, exposing her neck. "Sasuke-kun, you're back, so soon?" He didn't answer her question. She kept her eyes on the moon, trying to distract herself from him.

"Sakura?" he whispered hoarsely into her ear. She could feel him smiling. "Do you know what today is?" She nodded slowly. Of course she knew what today was? "I've waited a long time for it?" She stiffened slightly. He moved down to her neck allowing the tip of his fangs to touch it. She shivered. 'What did that mean?' "You'll know everything soon enough?" She gulped.

Sasuke brought both of his hands up running them through her hair. Her knees turned to jelly? she quivered and closed her eyes. "Sasuke-kun? what are you doing??" He didn't answer. Instead, his fangs bit down slightly. She whimpered. He pulled himself away from her exposed neck.

"What are you doing in here?" he asked suddenly. She smiled.

"I was going to read? I guess. What are libraries for right?" He nodded. "I have a question though? What's with these "Come Come Paradise" novels?" He stiffened and coughed.

"They? they were here when we moved in." 'Nice excuse.' Sasuke thought to himself sarcastically.

"Uh? huh?" Sakura seemed unconvinced. "Anyway? where did you go?" He shrugged and avoided the subject. The two stood together, looking at the full moon.

"Sakura?" He whispered into her ear. Sasuke's arms tightened around her waist. He brushed her hair away.

"Hm?" She turned around to face him.

He smirked. "Happy Birthday." She smiled. In one swift moment, before she could react or say anything, he plunged his fangs down her neck. Sakura stiffened and gasped. She found herself paralyzed. The blood was flowing backwards; she let out a small-strangled cry. The life was being drained from her body. She was beginning to feel weak. Every thing was going so fast? 'So? this is how it feels?' She closed her eyes. 'It feels so?good?' Soon, her hands dropped to her sides; she dropped the book she was holding. Her body slumped over.

Sasuke caught her petite form and settled onto the carpeted floor, with holding her in his lap. He couldn't help but smile, even if it was a half. His beloved would be his again. He cradled Sakura's barely conscious head and placed her mouth over this throat. 'Sakura?' He forcefully plunged her barely developed fangs in, making her drink from him. It sent shockwaves throughout his body. 'You're mine again?'

>>>>>

His snake eyes snapped open. 'A vampire was born tonight...' "Orochimaru sire?" A lower vampire addressed him.

"What?"

"Two dead bodies were found in Konoha?"

"And?" Oh, how he dreaded these types of messengers. They never got to the point.

"None of us did it sir."

"This is my concern? how?" He half-growled. "Get to the goddamn point!"

"We believe one of the other four might've done it. The victims were the Haruno's, sir, only the eldest daughter is missing."

Orochimaru laughed. He wasn't stupid, he knew who it was already. It didn't surprise him one bit. He of course, didn't plan on it, but a different plan was already sprouting in his mind. This was a big advantage for him. 'Sasuke's a fool?' "Now, I know I taught him better than that..." He muttered under his breath.

So, they were still here all along. Finally, after almost a century his kin will come back to him. They let themselves get distracted, and they thought they could lay low. Idiots, as always. They could never fool Orochimaru, their king, their father, their ruler. His laughter became louder.

"S-sire?" He stopped his laughing and glared irritably at the pathetic moron in front of him.

"Leave my sight." Orochimaru commanded sophisticatedly. The messenger did so quickly, tripping over his own feet in fear. The king smirked, he knew someone who would be very interested in this bit of news. Someone who got to his very nerve and core and still remained on his good side. Someone he couldn't trust, but entrust with any task he proposed. Uchiha Itachi?

TBC?

>>>>>

*gasp* I dunno, you think I should tone down the language a bit? I think it makes the scene more violent in a modern way, that, and I have an odd sense of humor, who doesnt?

[csmlee]

Neji smirked. 'Someone is definitely going to die tonight.'

Ack! Bad Neji! Bad!!!

Nice and brave or not, Hinata would have to go? Naruto rolled his eyes and took off.

Poor Hinata. First, Neji, and now, Naruto...

Sakura pulled out one book and saw the cover, "Come Come Paradise" vol. 1. Curious she opened it to a random page and read? 'He grabbed-?'

So that's why Sasuke's mind is so ecchi! He had been secretly reading Kakashi's collection of "Come Come Paradise"!!!

And yah!!! Itachi is finally making an appearance!!!

Ooh, and a quick question. If Orochimaru is the king of vampires, what about Jiraiya and Tsunade? We need those two to kick Orochimaru's ass!
