My, my, my, it's been a while hasn't it? Haha! Okay, so here's my newest story Porcelain (which I introduced in Wanting) Heh, I'm halfway through the story and I hope to finish by the time part one is over. There will not be any sequels, only parts and there may be a little pause between the pauses. Don't worry though, not too long of a pause.
We have our characters:
Sasuke- The mean bitch.
Sakura- The girl who's curious.
Naruto- Comic relief.
Obviously, there are more characters later but you're going to have to find that out yourself. I'm hoping this story will turn out to be really good. Maybe even one of… angel-pupeteer's stories or… KineticFairy. –goes into fantasy world- LOL.
I'd love reviews, I basically live off of them all. Every one of them. You'd see me at like 4 am, just finishing the readings of my Wanting reviews. Which reminds me, thanks for making that a huge success!!
On that note, Saffyre Neko, Your story is being processed! Be patient, I'm trying my best to make it ah-mazing, since it's not really my style of writing :). Ihearttoast…I never got a pm from you :(. Hope to see one soon!
Also, this story will have a review competition as well, so make those reviews awesomeful and win yourself a one-shot!
This story is slow-paced, as I am trying out different styles of writing. The rating is M due to some graphic violence. I will try my best to update every Friday.
Well, that's about it, I guess. Enjoy it!
Luv Anna

Thanks to my darling beta Ash!
I'm taking you as one of my own…
Feel the rhythm of my heart with yours…
We are one…
The rain slowly trickled down the window, the moonlight shimmering, highlighting the broken pieces of glass that were shattered on the floor.
Blood stained.
His body was hunched over, standing on the balls of his feet as he peered around the dark, quiet room. He smelled blood and it made him cringe, his back stretching into an arch. With his finger, he gently brushed the wooden floor picking up the thick liquid which made him quiver and swooped it against his tongue. The taste wasn't as satisfactory as it was the moment he had killed them all but it was still delicious.
Divine.
His body froze as the sound of footsteps approached. He moved not an inch, still in his hunched position, his finger wet with blood. His eyes automatically shifted to the wooden door of the cabin, ready to make a move if someone were to enter.
Thud.
Thud.
Thud.
His eyes widened as the doorknob creaked open and suddenly… he relaxed. The scent was too familiar and he merely shoved off all his fear as the door opened.
"You really had a feast tonight didn't you," A boy whispered hoarsely, his footsteps thudding rhythmically against the floor. "Sasuke?" he smirked as the raven-haired boy whipped his head around at him.
"I saved you the father." Sasuke cooed, shoving the man's body aside. The boy smirked, walking into the moonlight, his lips already smothered with blood. His blonde coloured hair streaked a bluish colour in the light; his facial features were highlighted, his pale skin showing some colour. "I already ate." He muttered, kicking the body back over to Sasuke.
Sasuke turned away, finally standing up. "We'd better get out of here."
Naruto smirked, his fangs slowly retracting back to normal size as the sun rose. "You grab your people, and I'll grab mine. We'll meet at the lake." He turned to the door before turning back to Sasuke. Sasuke was already at the window, the bodies held tightly in his arms. Naruto flashed a grin, his eyes ecstatic. "I'll race you."
Sasuke looked out at the rising sun and then back at his partner.
And then he smirked.

"Would you like fries with that order, sir?" Sasuke asked bluntly, pressing a few buttons on his cashier. The man gruffly answered a yes and Sasuke rolled his eyes, turning to Naruto. "He wants fries."
Naruto grinned, his teeth gleaming and hastily rushed over to where the fries were being made. "Fries!" he yelled, not a care in the world. He was very content, especially after yesterday's dinner.
Sasuke stretched his back. He closed his eyes and let out a yawn only to be rudely interuppted by a soft voice from over the counter.
"Excuse you." She said pursing her lips. She glanced at the menu and then back at Sasuke, her jade eyes eager to order. She was defiantly hungry….and short. It was her hair, however, that surprised him the most. A bright cherry colour, highly unusual and extremely uncommon.
"Should I get combo number 8 or combo number 5?" She asked Sasuke, looking him right in the eye. He stifled, not knowing what to say.
"They're both-"
"But which one has more fat." She questioned, rolling her eyes at him. He grunted, a bit frustrated with this girl already.
"I don't know." He sneered, looking away from her.
"You should know."
"You're at a fast food restaurant…everything has fat." He whispered, emphasizing every word. She was taken aback but quickly got herself together.
"I'll have the salad."
"Aa." He murmured.
She cocked her head at him before smiling fakely. "Thank you."
She took her order and walked to a table, her friend following behind and whispering something in her ear. Sasuke couldn't help but follow her with his eyes and for a brief second, she actually glanced back and gave him a small smirk. He grunted angrily, turning his back to her.
"Break!" Naruto smiled, throwing off his apron, letting it tumble to the floor. "And hello to those girls. Sasuke, check them out!" Naruto smirked, discretly pointing at the pink haired girl and her friend. Sasuke rolled his eyes. Naruto never gave up. He always got the girl but they soon figured out how much of a player he was and then it always ended before it was even official.
Naruto got out from behind the counter and casually made his way over, slowly pushing his hair back with his fingers. He smirked, his pale skin making him look almost godly. The girls watched him approach, a smile creeping up on each of their faces.
"Yo." He smirked, one hand resting on the pink-haired girls chair. "I'm Naruto. What's up?"
The girls laughed.
"I'm Sakura." The green eyed girl stated, holding out her hand for a friendly shake. Naruto took it and gave her a kind smile.
"I'm Ino." The other girl replied. Her blue eyes matched perfectly with her blonde hair but her mini skirt really made her seem like she was asking for it.
Naruto's eyes quickly scanned their bodies as Sasuke casually walked up behind his friend. His hands were tucked into his jean pockets and he walked as if he didn't give a shit about anyone around him. Not that he did anyways.
"And you are?" Ino asked, her eyes curiously gleaming at Sasuke.
Sasuke remained silent, looking at his shirt. He had become particularly annoyed at the small oil stain that was plastered on his clothing. It was….annoying. He looked up at the girl who had addressed him and simply raised his eyebrow, showing absolutely no interest in her at all.
"Oh, he's Sasuke." Naruto smirked, now leaning against his friend. "Don't worry; he just doesn't talk that much."
"I see," Ino smiled. "I'm Ino." She held out her hand for a friendly greeting. Sasuke considered it, peering from her hand to her eyes, and then let out another annoyed yawn. Ino, obviously angered by his rude behaviour, quickly brought back her hand.
Sakura had just been observing the two. She couldn't quite understand how Naruto could get so attached with someone so…rude. She shrugged, realizing that she and Ino weren't quite alike also. They were best friends but they were complete opposites. Her jade eyes shifted to the raven-haired boy. Though Naruto was pretty hot, he was nothing compared to Sasuke. She felt drawn to him even though she had only just met him and his attitude pestered her. She wanted to know more about this boy. There was something about him that she really couldn't put her finger on. However, she knew she had to take precaution because she knew he wasn't someone she could trust too easily. Both had a peculiar aura, kind of supernatural. It just perked her interest even more.
She had always been too curious for her own good, and she never gave up until she was completely satisfied with the information she received.
She snapped out her trance, a bit flustered at what was happening. Ino shyly slipped a small piece of paper across the table to Naruto, their eyes locked. She smiled as Naruto and Sasuke sauntered back to the counter.
"Ino!" Sakura whispered angrily. "What was that?"
"I gave him our numbers." She smiled, in a daze.
"Our?!" Sakura hissed flabbergasted. "You mean, mine too?"
"Yeah." Ino trailed off, her eyes glazed over.
Sakura clenched her fists, holding back the curses she wanted to give her best friend. This happened a lot. Sakura got into her own fantasy and when she opened her eyes, her best friend was off doing something idiotic. She sighed and then pushed it aside. Hopefully, the blonde would just forget about them and maybe he'd even lose the numbers. Hopefully.

This night should never end…
"Hello?" Ino said into her cell phone one late afternoon. Sakura was sprawled on the couch opposite her, reading an issue of Vogue.
"Yo," Naruto's appealing voice instantly sent Ino into her own fantasy again.
"Hi," she said stupidly and Sakura knew immediately that it was him. Her fists clenched again, but she released them, finding her inner peace.
"Ino, want to go out for lunch with Sasuke and me tomorrow? We haven't had much company lately and we'd love if you two joined us."
Ino smiled ecstatically, making a thumbs up motion to her cherry-haired friend. Sakura sighed.
"Sure!"
After a bit more talking, Ino hung up and explained the time and place to Sakura. Sakura's body lazily curved. Ino knew this movement meant she was annoyed.
"Sakura, I'm sorry. If you don't want to come I'll-"
"No, no. It'll be fine." Sakura didn't completely mind. This was a great opportunity for her to learn more about these boys. Her curiosity always did get the best of her.

"Sasuke, you owe me." Naruto pushed, his cerulean eyes clashing with onyx.
"I don't." He snickered, his face not making any facial expression.
Naruto looked away, folding his arms to his chest. "I already told them you were coming."
"Go alone." Sasuke grabbed the remote control and flipped through the channels. There wasn't many to choose from. He really had no interest in going to lunch with those two females he had met the other day. He didn't understand why Naruto enjoyed such…outings.
"Then you can't watch my tv." Naruto said, snatching the remote from Sasuke's hand. Sasuke whipped his head to Naruto, his eyes glaring deep into his friend. Naruto was a bit taken a back but he stood his ground, the remote tightly wrapped around his fingers.
Sasuke got up and shoved his hands in his pockets. "I'll leave then.."
"No." Naruto sighed. "Fine, if you don't want to-"
"I'll come." He yawned, sitting back down as Naruto handed him the remote.
Naruto smiled happily but was interrupted by the churning sensation in his stomach. He groaned, sitting on the couch beside Sasuke. "I'm hungry, what's in the fridge?"
"It's your fridge, you dumbshit."
"Yes, but you basically live here too." Naruto grinned, his teeth gleaming.
"But I don't eat your junk." He countered, looking out the window to the setting sun. "It's almost time anyways."
"True, we can go out to the forest and kill some-"
"I don't want animal." He smirked; his eyes glinted with new colour.
Naruto smirked, understanding that Sasuke was in the mood for human blood. He couldn't complain. It was much tastier that animal. "Sounds good to me."
As the sun begun to set, two silhouettes arched their backs in pain. Their mouths opened as their canines grew. Piercing screams erupted from their open mouths as the moon rose and their transformations completed.

Start a new life with me…
Ino ran into the café, her blonde hair moving side to side. Sakura smiled at her silliness, trying to keep up with her. She caught sight of the two boys a second before Ino did and made her way to the table. Sasuke was leaning back, his arm loosely over his chair. He didn't even glance at the two. Ino smiled at Naruto before sitting down in front of him. Naruto kept his eyes on Sakura. It was quite evident that out of the two, he fancied Sakura a bit more. Sakura greeted the two, not in the least bit surprised that Sasuke didn't even flinch.
"Hey Sakura!" Naruto smirked, smiling brightly at Ino also. Ino was a bit flustered, just realizing that maybe Naruto liked Sakura instead of her. Her face flushed but her hopes were raised again when Sasuke made the simple gesture of staring straight at her. Even she knew that that action must have been rare and she was in utter bliss.
The waitress arrived with a pot of coffee and filled all four cups to the rim before leaving. The aroma really satisfied Sakura. It made her feel comfortable around the two boys.
"Did you hear about the murder yesterday?" Ino muttered, trying to strike up some conversation.
Naruto stiffened, his heart picking up its pace. To relax himself, he grabbed his cup and stroked the edges, letting the warmth soothe his fingers but making sure not to get burnt. The sun shone brightly on Sasuke and he simply moved to the side to get the sun out of his eyes. He wasn't as tense as Naruto but he did feel a bit awkward.
"Who?" Naruto asked, trying his best to look inquisitive.
"Some man. He was just walking and then.." she trailed off trying to remember the rest of the story. She was a bit nervous.
"It's disgusting." Sakura said grimly, taking a sip from her cup. Sasuke's eyes moved swiftly to Sakura, his body tensing up by the second. They were just surviving. Doing what they had to do. Being regular vampires. In how he saw it, it was far from disgusting.
"Maybe he deserved it." Sasuke sneered, his voice husky. Ino's eyes widened at the intensity and tone of his voice. It was alluring and she wanted to say something but she could feel a strong tension over her friend and Sasuke. Sakura locked eyes with the vampire and narrowed her eyes together.
"No one deserves to die." She scoffed, her eyes now gazing up to the ceiling. Sasuke didn't say anything, only looked down at his coffee. Her words didn't mean anything to him. He hadn't done anything wrong.
Sakura quickly looked back at Sasuke, who was still looking at his drink and smirked.
"Nice to hear your voice, Sasuke."
He didn't look up but a small smirk triggered on his face and he instantly forgot all about their little brawl. He was very forgiving and luckily, so was she.
You're not made out of porcelain…
Forget about all your troubles…
I'm here with you now…
Well, what did you think? Kind of wordy, no? It gets less wordy as you go on, don't worry. Also, I tried to flesh out the characters in this chapter. Tell me what you think.
Sasuke is a total bastard, but it will get better eventually. Keep waiting for that.
Naruto! I love him, that's all I can say.
Ugh…Sakura is….Sakura!
And Ino? Meh, I wouldn't be too concerned with her. And no, it will not be InoxNaru. He's too much of a player.
Isn't the chapter name amazing? Ahaha!
And one more thing… actually :) I won't even say it. BWAHAHA…
Hope to get a review from you :)
Lots of love,
Anna
