Chapter One
--X--
The pure golden rays of the morning sun slipped through the tiny gaps of the crimson curtains. My eyes slowly opened to the dimly-lit room. I closed my bright orbs and yawned noisily as I turned on my other side to try to cuddle with my husband. I circled my arms around Sasuke's torso, but something felt…strange. I did not feel the smooth skin of my lover, or the toned and stone hard muscles of his back and torso. What I felt was some kind of material with flexible qualities.
I opened my eyes and found myself face to face with a pillow. Throwing the pillow aside, I quickly scanned the room and found no trace of my husband.
Where is Sasuke?
I felt strange and empty. This was the first time that he left me alone in bed. Although we have been husband and wife for only a week, this gesture was new and it upset me.
Letting out a sigh, I convinced myself to let it go and got up to put on a robe over my silky nightgown. A picture of Sasuke and I caught my attention. I strolled over to the nightstand to examine the photo. It was a picture of Sasuke and I on our wedding day. I looked like the exact image of the blushing bride while Sasuke was the proud, tall, and mysterious groom. That day created some of the happiest memories that I will ever have.
Considering that I was the soul mate of the now king of the vampires, I had a lot of dreadful memories. Among some of these dreadful memories came happy ones, too. I still remember the day when I first met Sasuke.
Sigh. Sasuke, my only love …and my first nightmare.
When I was still human, I was the young and beautiful head doctor, and still am thank you very much, of Konoha Hospital. I was training Ino, who was new to the hospital staff, to become a nurse. Ino and I had become close friends while I tutored her.
Then, one night changed everything. Ino, who became my best friend, invited me to go out with her to dinner with some of her friends that she claimed was almost like her family since they moved to Konoha together. I remember wearing a sexy red dress that flattered me and going to one of the most famous and expensive restaurants in Konoha. Ino introduced me to her husband, Sai, that night, as well as Neji and Tenten, Shikamaru and Temari, Naruto and Hinata, and…Sasuke.
Of course, when I was human, I had no idea that I was hanging around with a group of vampires. However, I knew there was something about them too, because everytime I was around them, I felt inferior and intimidated because of their beauty and their powerful auras, especially around Sasuke. I was scared to death around him, even though I was attracted to him. I remember going home that night, wishing that I had made up excuses to stay with Sasuke a little more. Although we had barely talked, I felt strangely incomplete when he was not near me.
The next few weeks after that, it seemed like I was bumping into him at least twice a week. I remember feeling so frustrated with myself because everytime he was near me, I felt self-conscious and would stammer with my sentences. I also felt a force, like something was pulling me towards him everytime I was close to him. I remember Ino telling me all about him: how he was the CEO of his company, how brave he was, and mostly, well, it was mostly me talking about how beautiful he was.
Then I remembered the night that opened my eyes to the brutal realities of the world. The night that I was attacked by a vampire…
Sasuke had barged into my apartment, saving me from death, and kicked the vampire out. Still in my pajamas, I remembered him forcefully, but gently, pick me up while he took me to his mansion. I was screaming for help while he was growling at me, telling me to shut my mouth before he decides to drop me right then and there to leave me to get murdered by the ferocious vampire.
I remembered feeling suspicious when I had seen the same group of people I had eaten with a few weeks back. At first, I thought it was a coincidence, but after watching these people bow down to my savior muttering "My Prince" or "My Lord", I started to think that there was more to these people than what met the eye.
Meanwhile, even after all the hints and suspensions, I was stupidly still bellowing, well threatening, Sasuke to put me down and take me home. When he stubbornly refused, I remembered saying to him, "Who do you think you are you shithead!"
I received a lot of glares from the vampires that night, and a certain female with red hair responded, "How dare you speak to his majesty that way you filthy human!" That comment made me realize that I was not in a room full of people.
Sasuke and Ino later explained to me that they were vampires and that the vampire that attacked me was his brother, Itachi. The next few weeks, I learned about how Sasuke's family was murdered, and about his title as Prince of the Vampires.
I started to go on real dates with him, and became closer to his friends. Then Itachi kidnapped me one day to lure Sasuke into his deadly trap. But Sasuke defeated Itachi and things went back to normal for a while before Sasuke proposed to me. He turned me into a vampire a few weeks before the wedding in order for my body to adapt to my new powers and abilities. And now here I was, the Queen of Vampires.
I placed the picture frame back in its rightful place before heading out of the bedroom. The halls of the mansion were eerily silent, it seemed strange.
Where in the world is Sasuke? And where are the servants?
I descended down the steps of the mansion and searched the second floor. I suddenly sensed a bunch of auras in the living room near the end of the hall. I quietly walked near the door and pressed my ear against the cool, wooden surface and listened.
"-figure out something! It just isn't right!"
That was Naruto! What is he doing here?
"We need a plan, Shikamaru! If we don't have a plan, we'll never be able to accomplish anything!"
"I agree."
My heart froze. I could recognize that voice from anywhere!
Sasuke, my love!
"He's becoming more powerful each day and killing innocent people. We need to stop him by attacking him first."
Who's he? I never heard anything about this! How long has Sasuke known this?
I heard footsteps hitting the floor inside the room. Someone, probably Sasuke, was pacing in the room.
"I need some of you to collect information about him." I heard a slight pause before my husband barked, "Sai…Neji!"
"Yes, my king?"
"Please fulfill this task."
"As you wish, my lord."
"I will, my king."
WHAT is going on?!
"What time is it?"
"It is nearly nine o' clock, my lord."
That was Ino! What's she doing here?!
"Sakura should be waking up soon. Please excuse me so that I could check up on her."
Oh shit! No!
Panicking, I desperately searched the hall to see where I could hide. I could hear Sasuke's footsteps nearing the door.
"Sasuke!"
The footsteps stopped.
Oh thank you so much Naruto!
"I got a question."
"What is it?"
Just keep on talking, Naruto!
I spotted a good-sized pot a few feet from the door. I quickly glided to the pot and somewhat climbed inside before something unexpected happened.
"When you said you were going to check on Sakura-chan, were you implying to us that you two are going to…uh…makelove?!"
Oh, Naruto, you dumbass!
I felt my cheeks heat up, wondering what images were going through their minds right now.
"…"
"…"
"…"
"…"
"…"
"…"
"Dobe."
I heard the door opening and heard Sasuke walk through the threshold.
"Is that a yes?!"
Oh shut up Naruto!
"N-N-N-Naruto-kun!"
Poor Hinata..
I heard the swishing of Sasuke's cloak as he turned around and I practically envisioned his death glare he was probably giving to Naruto.
"I assure you that I will not do anything of the sort! I'm just checking up on her." The smooth, velvety voice responded.
"Is this the pot?"
"Yes."
What the hell?
I felt my stomach in my throat as my hiding place was attempted to be lifted up by the maid.
Of all the damn pots, why this one?! It's perfectly fine!
"I think I may need help. It is very heavy."
"Okay."
You're killing me, Kami-sama! You're killing me! Ok Sakura, just calm down and don't panic. Hopefully those two airheads have enough sense to use a cart!!
"Riiiiighttttt!"
"Naruto just shut up!"
I no longer felt stable as the pot was lifted in the air…
Alrighty now, time to panic!
"You're right, Ayame! It is heavy! It weighs a ton!"
Well, you shitheads, put the fucking pot down!
"Oh no! It's slipping!"
NO!
I felt myself falling before a loud crash was heard.
"My lady!"
The next thing I knew, I opened my eyes and spotted the familiar shoes and cloak that only my husband could wear. I slowly averted my gaze into my husband's angry onyx orbs. The only words that came out of my terrified mouth were, "…heh-heh, good morning, dear?"
