"Sakura?" She blinked a couple of times and opened her eyes. 'What? happened?' She looked down at her hands. 'Nothing out of the ordinary?so why do I feel so?' She ran her hands through her hair, down her sides, and patted her rump a few times. "Sakura." Sasuke stated fondly as she explored herself. She was just too darn amusing sometimes. Her head snapped up as she looked at him strangely. She gave a warm smile.
"Who are you?" Sasuke almost fell over. 'No?she should've gotten her memory back by now?' He gulped, fearing the worst. "Is something wrong?" She asked curiously. He looked away uncomfortably. His anger was setting in. She giggled. "Don't look so mortified, Sasuke-kun?" He stiffened, but immediately relaxed. "You know I could never forget?"
He growled. "Don't do that Sakura." She let out a laugh.
"You could never take a joke."
"It wasn't all that funny." He muttered and walked toward her. He wrapped his arms around her waist and nuzzled her neck. She wrapped her arms around him.
"I missed you, my love." She whispered into his hair. He let out what seemed like a strangled cough. She took his head and raised it so that she could see straight into his eyes. She gasped. "Sasuke-kun? you look so different." He gave her a questioning look. "You're more pail than usual? what's wrong? Have you been eating right?" She cupped his face into her hands. "You're so cold." He took her hand.
"You're my wife, not my mother. Do you remember anything?" he changed the subject. 'It looks like? she doesn't even know she's a vampire.' He sighed.
Her brows crinkled in frustration. "Everything's blurred. I really don't know. How did I get here?" Images from her past flashed before her eyes. She clutched her head.
'A shadowed figure appeared. He grabbed her by the hair. Everything was so fast. He was beating her to the ground, then took a knife and sliced her. She could barely feel anything accept for the long lazy streams of blood flow. He growled when she wouldn't make a peep and slammed her against the wall?an evil smile graced his features as he- He raped her. That's when she screamed. He dropped her onto the floor. She looked psychotic clutching the remains of her clothing to her naked body, gasping desperately for air. He laughed? loudly, triumphantly, and tauntingly. "You will die tonight." He murmured into her ear seductively. She almost gagged. There was nothing seductive about that statement.
She clutched her abdomen lovingly and wept. One of stranger's hands stroked her cheek, while the other continued to explore her body. She flinched and growled frustratingly. As his hand traced over her lips, she bit him. He grabbed her by her hair and pinned her against the wall. She fought against him but it was of no use.
"You stupid bitch! You'll regret that." His fangs plunged into her neck. She refused to scream. He bit harder. She squirmed.
"Sasuke-kun." She shut her eyes tightly. Tears fell from her eyes as this monster drained the life out of her body?His torn image appeared before her? "Sakura?" He whispered. She eventually succumbed to the darkness and allowed death to take her.'
Her green eyes snapped open. "It was him? he-?" She choked, but found she couldn't cry. Disbelievingly, she placed a hand on her cheek to see? no moisture. Sasuke gave her a perplexed look. 'Who's this man she's talking about?'
"Sakura?"
"I remembered? this isn't right." She looked at him. "This isn't right! I'm supposed to be dead-?"
"You are." He confirmed simply. She gazed at him curiously.
"How is that possible?? I can't be-? can I?" She looked frightened. "Sasuke-kun! I can't? it's?" She began to shake. Her hands grasped the bed sheets. Sasuke wrapped his arms around her.
"It's true. Stop convincing yourself, Sakura, just accept it. You're a vampire now." He stated bluntly.
"But-? that just- Is this where you've been all along?" She pulled away from him. "That night-?" He nodded and cupped her cheeks with his hands. She looked away. "I became what killed me, and what took you!" She shook her head. "I don't want that Sasuke-kun! It's not supposed to turn out this way?" She closed her eyes. "I don't- I don't want that! This is a mistake?"
Sasuke snarled. Did she want to be with him or not? "You would've been gone forever? Sakura, are you saying this was a mistake?! I made you my bride again!" Her head snapped up. She looked at him surprisingly. "Are you saying it was a mistake to find you?! That it was wrong to take you away from the hell you were reborn into?! Are you saying being reborn for me was a fault?! Are you?!" He was having difficulty controlling his temper.
"N-no Sasuke-kun, I just-?"
"Then don't say anything. Fate took you away from me and it's not going to again. I made you a part of me Sakura? accept it. You're a vampire." His calm returned. She gave a small, uncomfortable nod.
"It'll take time? but I guess you're right. I- I have to accept it." She shook her head, "No Sasuke-kun? it wasn't a mistake. I didn't mean to-?" She swallowed and placed a hand where he bit her. There were faint marks, but nothing too bad. "It's real then? We're? together again. I should be grateful." Yet she still had her doubts. She placed her arms around his neck, pulling him closer to her. 'It feels wrong, and yet? so right. Why did things have to turn out this way?' She thought painfully. He responded and wrapped his arms around her petite form. "Love, you do seem a bit more ill than usual?" she changed the subject.
Sasuke cut her off. "It's nothing. Don't concern yourself with it." He commanded. Sakura knew him the best. She always knew when there was something wrong with him, just like he did her. She decided to keep her mouth shut, but gave nod in understanding. He grasped her hand and planted a kiss on her palm. He did miss her a lot more than he thought, though, he'd never admit it out loud.
This brought back memories for Sakura. She found herself entranced by this new, more mysterious version of Sasuke, but she was still pained over the fact that this is how he'd been living for the past years, just waiting for her. Perhaps, their current state was better, maybe it was for the best. At lease now, they had an eternity. Realization hit her as a smile graced her features. "I really did miss you? I'm glad you brought me back." She pressed herself closer to him, into his neck, inhaling his unique scent. Inwardly she still doubted herself, and her situation. He had to smile, or half smile. He tucked a strand of her pink hair behind her ear, and placed his hand under her chin.
Her green eyes were the same. Her attitude was the same. Her memories were back? An odd feeling developed inside him. 'Happiness?' But he saw something else in her eyes, 'Fear??' Whatever it was? something was wrong with her. "Beloved?" he whispered. Her eyes widened. Sasuke never said things like that, ever. Well, he did once, and that was when her best friend died and he tried to comfort her. She felt like crying in happiness, though her body wouldn't allow her to do so. A slight smirk graced his features as he leaned down and captured her lips with his. 'The things I do for her?'

"Where have you been?" Tenten asked curiously as Neji walked in. He punched the wall nearest to him and growled frustratingly. "Well, there's blood all over you, I'm assuming you got your target, but judging from your current mood, I'd say you weren't satisfied, or something went wrong." 'How does she do that?!' Neji though furiously
"You're not helping at all." He stated.
"I know. I try my best." She beamed happily. Though she was still tied up, her cheerful mood was never broken. It was a mystery even to Neji. He rolled his eyes.
"You're not tired yet?" He raised an eyebrow.
"Tired of what?" she chirped.
"Being tied up." Her face darkened.
"Of course I'm tired. You just haven't untied me, and I guess you're treating me alright, I'm not one to complain about it." She shrugged. He walked to her side and loosened her bonds. "Aww, Thank you so much. Why don't you just untie me?" she asked sweetly. Inwardly, she wanted to stab him multiple times.
"Because secretly you want to kill me." She blinked. 'How'd he know?' "I can't have that now can I?" 'She's a fiery one.' He kept his cool.
"Not like I can anyway?" she shot back. He raised an eyebrow. "Can I make a deal or something? You have no reason to keep me here and-? oh come on, would ya please untie me?" He sighed.
"Fine, but it you try anything funny-?" He warned.
"I know, I know, I've been on the receiving end of this threat multiple times." She grinned mischievously. He untied her. "Ah, Thank you so much." She rubbed her bleeding wrists. He gave her an almost concerned look. 'Guess I went a little too far?' "Ow." She hissed. Blood dripped down her fingers as she held one oh her wrists painfully. He found himself entranced by the site. "Do you have a bandage or something?" He shook his head slowly. His eyes were still on her blood. She lifted her hand to her lips and licked the red substance away. The room was suddenly feeling hot. He found himself moving closer to her.
Tenten winced. Neji grabbed her wrist, eyeing it hungrily. She let out a startled yelp as he bent down and licked it. She began to pull away, but his grip was firm. "Ow." She said to distract him. He was still at it. "Ow?" she emphasized. "Ow." He stopped licking, but his lips remained on her wrist. "You haven't fed for quite a few days, have you?" She asked amusingly.
"Shut up." He growled, and licked again as more blood seeped through.
"It feels like a dog." He blinked. "It tickles too." He pulled away. "Finally, I thought you'd never-?" Her wrist remained in his hand. He picked it up and bit down on it slightly, drawing a little bit more blood. "Ow. That hurts you know."
"Punishment." He stated simply.
Her eye twitched. "You keep me here, you tie me up, you take my target, you sniff me! And now, you're biting me? buddy, I think you're taking it a little far." Neji had to smirk. "So why do you keep me here?"
'Should I tell her the truth??' He leaned down until he was almost nose-to-nose with her. "You really want to know?" She nodded nervously and gulped. "You?" He moved closer until his lips were barely pressed against her. Tenten's eyes widened. 'He's? he's seducing me again?' She had that familiar overwhelming desire build up within her. She couldn't help it. Her eyes landed on his lips, which were a mere millimeter away. 'A little closer?' She felt her body move on it's own accord and lean in toward them. Unfortunately, as soon as she made little contact he pulled away. She let out a small whimper, and a growl in frustration.
Something occurred to her. She blinked a couple of times. "Hold it. W-wait, wait? d-d-did you j-just? sniff me?!" she stuttered. "Gah!" She had an absolutely horrified look on her face.
"Relax, I didn't sniff you." He said with a hint of enjoyment in his voice. Her expression got calm again.
"So? then, why do you keep me here?"
"You intrigue me and you're amusing." He started toward the door. She smacked her forehead.
"That's the best excuse you can come up with?!" He heard her scream angrily as he shut the door. He had a genuine smile on his face. It was the first time he really smiled in years?

Hinata awoke with a start. She ran a hand through her hair as she realized what just happened. He was right next to her, his warm breath on her hand. He was asleep. She wanted to cry. She became something she absolutely dreaded, and it was his entire fault. Everything was his fault. She pulled her hand out from under him, which caused him to wake.
Naruto blinked a couple of times and looked up, only to find his eyes meeting with a pair of angry pearl eyes. 'Uh oh, she looks pissed.' "Hey?" He laughed nervously and waved. Her glare intensified.
"I'd rather die, than become what you just made me!" She yelled angrily and smacked him over the head.
"Ow, I thought you were supposed to be shy."
"I'm not shy when I'm angry-?" She gave him a quizzical look. "How'd you come to that conclusion?" He shrugged and smiled cheekily. She growled. "It's all your fault! Now, I have to drink blood and- and-?" she couldn't go on. Her voice got caught.
"Well, it's not bad once you're used to it I promise!" He reasoned with her.
"I thought you hated killing!" she snapped.
"Well, I do? how'd you come to that conclusion-?" She looked away. He blinked. "Oh yeah! Never mind." He grumbled. "So how are you feeling-?"
Hinata's eyes traveled all over the room. A glint of something silver caught her attention. She turned to the bedside and found a small knife in plain sight. 'I hate what I am? and I hate what I've become?I can-?' "Hey!" Naruto's voice snapped her out of it. "You aren't going to-? Don't do anything crazy now! I wasted blood for you!" He warned. She glared at him and grabbed the knife. He grabbed it too. They began to pull and tug back and fourth. Hinata got frustrated and bit his hand. Naruto let out a surprised yelp and pulled away. A small smile graced her features.
"This ends, here and now. Thank you for saving my life, but it was hardly worth it." A pained look crossed her features. "I'd rather not live like this..." She raised the knife to her chest.
"Hey! Don't!" Naruto yelled and reached for her, but it was too late. She stabbed herself through the chest. He smacked his forehead. 'Shit.'

"I can't see anything!" Ino hissed as she looked through the keyhole. "Oh! He's-?" she gasped. "He kissed her!"
"Get away from the door, Ino." Shikamaru grumbled from his room. He was lying lazily on the bed.
"Oh my god, she's- she did she just touch him where I thought she touched him... no, but she's touching something! This is so unfair!" She snarled.
"Of course it's fair, they're married, and doing something married couples do, get away from the damn door before I drag you away." Ino turned around and glared at him.
"Oh shut up, Shikamaru." She resumed her peeking. "I swear his hands were?" She froze. For a moment, she thought Sasuke's eye met with hers. He was glaring at her. She shook her head. 'He's too distracted.' She heard Sakura whisper something in his ear, which caused him to turn his attention toward her again. Ino got away from the door and went back to Shikamaru's room. 'I'm being paranoid.' A scream came from Sasuke's room, followed by a loud bang and an angry shriek from Sakura.
Shikamaru winced. 'He forgot she was a virgin? didn't he?' He sighed. "What the hell was that?!" Ino fumed angrily and looked through the keyhole again. Her eye twitched. "I can't believe-oh she's- I mean they- Oh my god!" 'Lucky little-...' Shikamaru was suddenly behind her. He grasped her hand and dragged her back into his room, locking the door behind them.
"Damn it, Ino I said get away from the door! Sasuke can hear almost anything that's within a six-mile radius. He could hear the both of us right now if he wanted, but he could certainly hear you!" Ino blinked.
"Well then, his ears must be broken from that scream Sakura just made. I can't believe her?" She glared at the door. A loud moan errupted. "Just one more-?" Before Shikamaru could stop her, she opened his door and ran to look through the keyhole again this time-"Gah! They- They're oh my god, Sasuke's tongue-." Shikamaru gave her a blank stare. "Oh dear? I've never seen Sakura like that before. He just bit her! Well, that's going to leave a mark in the morning." She cringed. "He just grabbed her-?"
Shikamaru sighed. "I really don't want to know the details, Ino." As much as he hated what Ino was doing, he knew he couldn't stop her. His eyes were glued to something completely different, and it made him feel like a pervert. She had a nice backside. 'That's one advantage? on the other hand; Sasuke is going to slaughter me and feed me to dogs later for letting Ino stay here. What was I thinking?' He banged his head against the wall.
"Oh? wow. Sasuke's talented." Ino licked her lips. Shikamaru's eye twitched. Gasps followed from Ino as she observed the occupants in the other room, he began to feel extremely uneasy.
"Ino, Give them some privacy. They deserve it you know." She turned and gave him a sharp glare. "It's not right. Just get away from the door." Her glare remained but she did so and propped herself onto his bed with a 'Hmph.'
"You're being ridiculous." He sat in front of her. She turned her head another direction and stuck her nose up in the air. "Stop. You're acting like a two year old." Her nose wrinkled but she did nothing else.
"You deprived me, Shikamaru. He has a very nice body." She licked her lips.
"Your lust is sickening." She stuck her nose up again. "And here's the two year old act?" Another 'hmph' sounded. "D?j? vu?"
"There is nothing wrong with wanting to watch your love 'do something' with someone else." She stated matter-of-factly.
"You're a pervert." Shikamaru stated simply. She gaped at him. An angry look crossed her features. She grabbed an antique sword hanging on his wall. He looked at her with wide eyes. "Wait. I didn't mean it Ino, but you have to understand? I mean, hey-?" She drove the sword through him and kicked him to the ground. Her eyes twinkled.
"Don't you call me a pervert. I wasn't the one checking out my friend's backside."
He got up and glared at her, with the sword still hanging out of his chest. "I'm not the one watching my friend have sex with his wife. There's a difference. You're just stubborn that's all, and I was not checking out your backside!" She kicked him again. "Stubborn... bloody women?" He fumed angrily from the ground.

He jumped from roof to roof. His eyes scanned the wide area. 'No one.' Itachi grumbled. He'd been searching for the location of the mansion Kakashi was living at, unfortunately, he couldn't get very far without the silver haired vampire. He ran a hand through his hair. As talented as he was, Itachi couldn't find the hideout right away. 'At this rate it might take months? hell even years. If I don't find a trace of them anywhere?' He jumped to another rooftop. 'This is a pain in the ass?'
TBC?

WEEEHEEE!! I have nothing else to say.
But overall, I enjoyed it.
