Chapter 11

'Where am I? Why am I in a bed? Why's it feel so soft and silky?' Sakura thought as she noticed two figures. One was sitting on the bed with a book in her hands, and the other was standing smiling down at them.

"And, the princess was recused by her knight and shining armor. He said, 'Malady, I am so glad you are alright.' And, the princess smiled and kissed him. They were soon married and lived happily ever after." The woman finished and closed the book.

"Good night, my sweet Sakura." The woman got up and kissed her on the forehead.

"Good night, mama." Sakura said, smiling up at the woman.

The woman, or "mama" as Sakura just called her, was beautiful. She had long pink hair, just like Sakura, and a lovely white dress. She was wearing a small crown.

"Ah, my Queen, we must get to bed as well. We can't have Sakura up too late; she has violin lessons in the morning." The man said rustling her hair.

"Alright, get some rest, Sakura." The man said, leaning down and kissing the top of her head.

"Good night, father." Sakura replied and sank down into the blankets. The woman blew out the candle next to Sakura's bed and the couple walked out the room. The man closed the door behind them.

It wasn't even a mere five minutes when something crashed through the window and Sakura screamed. The King and Queen ran in and stared at the two figures that burst through the window. One of the figures was coming at Sakura and she screamed, moving away. She noticed that her parents were turning into monsters, and that scared her even more.

Sakura was running, running down the hallway she's seen in her nightmares, windows taller than pillars, and the big double doors… The double doors that have been haunting her dreams… She reached out and opened them. There was a study behind them. She ran behind the desk, scared and helpless. She heard footsteps and saw her mother's feet.

"Mama!" Sakura cried out and her mother ran to her. She was shielding her from whatever was coming.

"I won't let you die! I will not let you die!" Sakura could hear the woman saying. There was a scream, Sakura was crying, her mother hit the floor, blood was all over her dress. Her mother's hand took hers.

"My precious, daughter… May you be happy in the Human World… - May they have mercy on you, my precious, Sakura… My Precious…" And, her mother died…

Sakura woke up, she was in Itachi's arms, and he had a cruel smile on his face. Sakura didn't feel right at all. Her body was going numb, her teeth hurt, and her neck was covered in blood.

"You've finally decided to wake up… Do you remember now, dear little Sakura?" Itachi said, standing up and pulling Sakura to her feet. Sakura's eyes were glowing green, and her fangs had finally grown back into place. She nodded. She remembered everything. She had finally awoken…

There was pounding on the door, and the two looked over at it.

"Sakura!"

"Sakura-chan!"

"Sakura, come out of there! Are you okay? We heard screaming!"

All of her friends were standing outside the door. She could smell every one of them. She could even smell Sasuke.

"That's it!" Sasuke said and he bashed the door open and they all ran in. Everyone gasped as they saw the scene in front of them.

"You bastard! How dare you turn her back!" Sasuke was shouting at his brother. Sakura merely looked bored.

"Silence, Sasuke." Her voice had a demanding pitch to it. He stopped shouting and looked over at her. She was covered in blood and her eyes glowing.

"Do not shout while you are in front of me. How rude of you, especially since you haven't even bowed." Itachi smiled his evil smile.

"Well, Princess, do you want to go home?" Itachi asked Sakura standing up straight and offering his hand. She nodded and took it.

"Sakura-chan!" Naruto shouted, "what're you doing? Why are your eyes glowing and why are you covered in blood?" Naruto was shouting and slowly walking closer.

"Do not touch her." Itachi and Sasuke said. "Her blood is poisonous to demons, only vampires can touch her blood without problems." Sasuke continued, pulling Naruto back.

"And, besides, why would a filthy demon think he could touch royalty?" Itachi said putting a jacket over Sakura. Sakura's memories all came back to her, she wasn't thinking who was who and what was truly going on.

"Sakura-chan, what's happened to you? Why aren't you fighting him? He's a vampire! A bad guy-" Naruto was cut off by Sakura.

"Young boy… Sweet little child," Sakura moved over to him, but did not touch him; "you seem so troubled. I wish I could bring the Sakura you loved back to you, but you see… I am not her anymore. She no longer excites in this world, it is just I, Princess Haruno Sakura of the Under World." Sakura said with a small smirk curving her lips. Itachi stood behind her, obviously enjoying Sakura's taunts and teasing.

"Sakura… How could you say that, and to your own boyfriend, too…" It was Ino who spoke up finally, "And, I don't know what you're talking about Under World, but I think you need to stop acting crazy." Ino was not happy; she was worried and scared and angry, more angry than anything.

"You pitiful human girl," it was Itachi who replied to her, "You do not understand a thing. Princess, we are leaving now. Your castle awaits you, oh, and we need to get the flower while we're here."

"It is alright, Itachi-kun… I have the flower in my bag. Fetch it for me, but do not touch the flower, you could hurt yourself, I do not want that to happen, my dear." Sakura said pointing over at her school bag. Itachi walked and grabbed it, handing it over to Sakura. She took it and pulled out a box.

"Alright, Malady, I think it's time we take our leave, I do not want these brats to harm you. Master will be so pleased to see you in such good health." Itachi said taking Sakura's hand. A portal to the Under World opened and he guided Sakura in.

"Sakura-chan! No, wait!" Naruto tried running after her, but was stopped by Sasuke. "Wha-" Naruto turned to Sasuke. "You idiot, do you realize as soon as you touched that you'd never be able to get back here? And, what thinks you can just run into the Under World without any help?" Sasuke was yelling at Naruto. The portal closed and it was silent.

"Naruto, what're we going to do? That crazy person took Sakura away! We have to get her back." TenTen was in shock and walking back and forth. Ino was still frozen to her stop from what Itachi had said and Hinata, well… She was just too surprised by the scene she didn't say anything at all.

"We need to recuse her!" Naruto was angry, frustrated and hurt. 'How could you do this, Sakura-chan…? Why…' Naruto was in pain and he wanted to steal her back, he wanted to do everything in his power to bring her back, no matter how long it took, he would bring Sakura back.

"Alright, I have a plan, but I'm going to need everyone. Even you, Sasuke." Naruto said, "We're going to steal Sakura-chan back!" Everyone cheered.

"How do we do that, Naruto?" Ino asked, confused about all of this.

"Well, that's simple, isn't it?" Everyone turned their heads at the new voice coming from the door.

"Neji?" TenTen said walking over to him. "Do you want what's going on?"

"Of course, I do. We're going to need a lot of people and a lot of training before we can go save her. Naruto, tell us your plan, and then I'll tell everyone mine." Naruto smiled and nodded.

"We're going to save you, Sakura-chan, believe it!"
