A Vampire´s Bride

In a world divided by different races, humans, trolls, demons, elves, fairies, vampires. War, secrecy, assassinations, treason was the ever present meal for every living soul and the not so living. Humans being the weakest race, survived because of the use of inventions for they alone did not have magical abilities, being weak also made them the most bloodthirsty for war out of all the races.

One could only guess it was their need to fill that gaping hole within their chest that no possession, power or knowledge could ever fill that drove them to constantly seek of power over the other races.

That being said the others did not take the humans rampage whilst sitting down, the trolls were always up for slaughtering, the demons when evoked only seeked their own personal gain for they had no loyalty not even amongst themselves, fairies and elves alike were only interested in the peace of their own realms and never took sides, they didn´t believe in the wars of men, for they lived but a second compared to them, their only concern was to ensure the delicate balance of nature.

There was a race that cared for none of this, its only concern was to stay alive. There people were on diplomatic terms with all beings, thanks in greater part to their ruler, the most feared and respected vampire, the one and only to ever rule over the united vampire covenants.

He was known as the Dark prince.

!¡

Upon arriving at the manor, any being could guess they were about to be in the presence of a greater being.

The manor being hidden in the deepest ridge atop the snow covered mountain was both imposing in size as well as in danger. Constructed completely out of rock there were no gardens or decoration on the outside it had many towers ending in pointed daggers. Signaling to all that it was a place where if you wanted to keep your existence, you have better know and remember your place.

The guest gathered in an intriquetly designed arched hallway lit by torches surrounded by ceiling to floor glass windows where everyone present could see the expanse of the gardens covered by the lazy swirling snow, underneath an interesting, to say the least, chandelier.

Upon a different section of the manor was a lone figure under a swaying cherry blossom tree. It traced its delicate pale fingers across the pond surface´s, watching its reflection ripple in lazy waves, shifting the thin ice around. It brought its wet fingers to eye level to inspect the water drop that formed its way to its finger tip.

"like a tear drop" a woman´s voice shimmering like a bell, filled the empty expanse of the garden.

"Why are you being so morbid today?" a man´s silk voice suddenly questioned behind her. She without a hint of surprised and still focused on the water drop said while smiling "Its not that I´m being morbid its just an honest observation, my love".

He didn´t see her smile, but he sure heard it, its not that he wasn´t looking at her with anything but warped attention, it was the fact that her face was cover by a thin black veil that fell to her shoulders and allowed only for others to see the shape on her face, but never to see any detail at all about her features.

But he knew her so well, as much as she knew herself, if ever anything bothered her, he would automatically know without a single word ever utter form her, he knew what every gesture meant, what every trace of her fingers indicated.

So he knew not to question her any further, she was referring to the similarities between the races they themselves didn´t see and that one thing could mean something to a person while having an entirely different meaning to another.

He lifted his hand beneath the veil to run his fingers across the expanse of her face feeling its silky texture, while his other hand started to lift the it, she stiffened and caught his hand. "Love, someone could see" she rapidly whispered

"Not if I do this" he stated while only lifting the veil so he could see her lushes red lips, slowly leaning in and brushing his lips to hers, she immediately relaxed and applied more pressure, her restraining hand moving to his perfect sculpted face, tracing his jaw and slowly making its way to his midnight downy hair.

He was about to move his other hand to cradle her face, when he suddenly felt a presence nearing, immediately separating from her, shifting her to stand behind him and shielding her form external eyes.

The steps could be heard coming across the snow, a man dressed in black, clearly nervous bowed declaring "My lord, everything is ready, they are awaiting your entrance".

"We will be there shortly" he replied briskly.

Only when the vampire had left did the man turn back to the woman behind him.

"Come its time to play our part" he softly murmured to her. She nodded enthusiastically.

!¡

"Oh! I wish they would be here all ready, can someone please tell me again why do we all have to be here?" a loud mouth blonde vampire screeched to his friends.

"I already told you Naruto, we all have to be here to discuss new trade routes, the new pacts between the covenants, and any other information his majesty sees fit to disclosure!" a now angry long brown haired vampire seethed through gritted teeth.

"that´s not what I asked" replied Naruto " My question Neji is why all of us at the same time? I mean we can talk to him privately about all this. Why does everyone have to be here, not just the heads of all the clans but all its members as well?"

"Well that I cannot answer, he has his reasons"

"Do you think it may have to do with-" he was abruptly cut off when a horn boomed.

A set of enormous silver double doors with tree like carvings slowly opened to reveal two individuals standing there.

Whispers immediately where heard here and there especially by the newcomers, who rarely were invited to attend such a reunion.

"oohh! Is that his majesty?" "just look at him his sooo handsome!" "who is that beside him?" "that´s his bride, the Dark princess" "did you hear, he never lets her out of his sight", "yes no one is allowed to touch her or even look at her the wrong way, I mean not that you could look at her, she´s always covered from head to toe in something or another" "so no one has ever seen her face?" "no never and its forbidden to talk to her" " but why?" "no one knows, and I´m guessing that's the way it's going to stay"

"I heard that once a vampire tried to walk near her, he was burned to ashes before he could blink!"

"Yes, but still, just look at him his a blood drinking god!"

"There they go again, those females can't keep their fangs only on their mates, there always hopeful to even get a glance from him" Naruto murmured to Neji. As they all watched the pair walk to center of the room.

Neji silently nodded. He was following the pair to their position in the front of the room with avid eyes. Both dressed in billowing black robes the taller figure held on tightly to the hand of the smaller vampire beside him. The stoic face of his leader, remaining aloof to the forces assembled before him, but then again, he never showed any kind emotion, not even on the battle field where he had seen him slaughter trolls and demons and what not, who visibly outmatched him in size all without a single cringe or flinch on his behave.

Neji did not dwell on this matter nor did he think the prince a being without emotions, because he did have them and oh were they powerful and deadly ones.

He inwardly cringes as he recalled the only time to have ever witness, such an execution.

There had been a meeting about the herbal medicine that some covenants were exchanging with the elves. I was present to see that all the inventories were indeed exact, the prince had come in to view the results as well as to speak to some of the scientist involved in the project, when he asked a curious question that I hadn´t even entertained.

"So the route you are taking is between the Fire mountains, is that correct?"

"yes sir" a silver haired scientist with glasses answered.

"Tell me how does a shipment this big get transported through this specific troll territory, without getting robbed or killed… Kabuto?" the Prince had asked with a sly inquiry.

Just as the Kabuto had been about to answer the doors opened to reveal the princess. The Prince immediately went to her without so much as a care that he had been talking to someone, he walked to her side taking her hand, she as if no one was present leaned into him.

The prince then strolled back to Kabuto, princess in tow. And declare to all that Kabuto was off the project, and placing me in charge of the whole trade.

"WHAT!, but why your highness, I have done nothing wrong!"

"Because you have betrayed me Kabuto" the prince calmly stated.

Kabuto had looked in enraged, I could tell that he was about to charge at the prince but instead advanced on the princess, however before he could take a step, his highness disappeared in a blur of speed, next moment he has standing behind Kabuto his hands atop his shoulder

"I had consider you to live, but the moment your threatening gaze turned upon her, you dug your own grave!" he snarled through gritted teeth.

He pulled back atop Kabuto´s shoulder, ripping both arms, while Kabuto howled in pain, fountains of blood gushing out the two gaping holes where his arms used to be connected. We all retreated from Kabuto, getting as far away from the smell of blood and the Prince´s wrath.

It truly was a sight to behold his face was twisted into that of a sinister smirk, snarls constantly ripping from his chest rumbling throughout the room, rumbling indeed, even with Kabuto´s screams everyone could still make them out.

The Prince continued to rip every limb except for the head, realization dawned on me, he wanted to make Kabuto feel every pain caused, that's why he didn´t take of the head, his true punishment was to remain conscious all the while the Prince tore and pulled every limb and organ, for vampires could regenerate if everything but the head was damaged.

Kabuto´s intestines rolled on to the floor followed by his kidney slowly making the pool of blood even bigger, while he tried to crawl away seeing as he had no legs anymore, only to have a foot plunge into his back effectively breaking his spinal cord the resounding sickening crack adding proof of that.

Oh the bloodbath was honestly incredible to behold. I chanced a glance at the princess, she remained completely still in a relaxed position, while her lover demonstrated what the true meaning of being a vampire was.

It was clear to all that he truly loved her, for only her, did the Prince ever show emotion. A slight smirk, an eyebrow lifted, a tightening of hands, yes they were not great displays but to all who knew him it was like imagining him dancing around the room throwing flowers, for he always seem like a walking statue.

After that event, word spread quickly to all, of what fate would await any creature who dare even to think of the Dark princess in a malevolent way. The Dark prince was considered by many to be caring and considerate to all life forms and their preservation. But incidents like these reminded all, that he was truly a born vampire! Who would stop at nothing to make sure that no one or anything ever threatens his princess. He was merciless and cruel and showed no ounce of consideration or thought of consequence to those that thought they could use her as bait to get to him. His enemies knew enough to never bargain with her in the middle, because every vampire, elf, human and troll or any other race knew he would unleash hell on earth not even caring for his own kind´s destruction, if ever his love were in true danger.

"I welcome you all this evening, I trust that everything so far has been to your liking" he looked about the grand room to all the vampires facing him, dressed all in black robes and dresses.

I tighten my hand around hers, she squeezed mine back reassuring me and urging on. I did not like these public appearances, they made me feel like I was something for them to gawk at and scrutinize my every movement.

But what I absolutely hated the most was having her in here with all these people. I was constantly on edge imagining someone trying to attack her, I felt my nerves stretch to the limit just thinking different scenarios where we were ambushed I would not be able to protect her against the thousands of vampires assembled here tonight.

All my musings had taken place within time span of a heart beat. So I easily continued. It wouldn't do if The Dark Prince lost his head in a time like this.

"You may be wondering why is every member of every coven present today?" I looked all around indeed their curiosity was something I could always use in my favor.

"The answer to that question is very simple" he gazed up to the chandelier and declared for all to hear

"It has come to my attention the many rumors that circle about in the human villages, that vampires are soulless demons that need to be eradicated from this earth because we feed of others, that we treat as if they were pets designed for our entertainment"

I paused assessing all gathered faces some looked shocked others furious and others simply did not care. "I have been approached by the human leaders, who demanded that I assemble all vampires under the united covens and head for the waist lands of Mongoria".

The shocked that followed this declaration could be felt by all.

"I absolutely declined such proclamation, stating that we easily overpower the humans on any ground" the cheering that issued from all around the hall was like thunder roaring fiercely, vampires were very vain creatures, our main interest was quenching any desire that bloomed within us, most believed that vampires to be on higher ground than the humans and only slightly above the other races.

I waited a second before continuing knowing very well that my next statement would leave them speechless. "but… (that caught their attention!) I negotiated a simple pact in order to prevent wasting any form of life… I declare that on this day forward it is forbidden for any vampire to take up any sort of slave, if you must drink blood directly from the source than do it, but do not keep them as pets or provisions for when your cravings start to itch. I know very well that this truce those not envelope the covenants outside the alliance, for that reason, I have pointed out to the human leaders that any breach in the truce or lone vampiric acts cannot be pinned upon any member under the vampire alliance" he signed looking at all the gathered vampires "That is why you are all here today, to personally witness my will".

He finished his statement with no applause or any other indication. He was not disappointed at all it was always the same routine, a full minute passed when all respectfully bowed in unison, signaling their understanding.

"I bid you all to enjoy the banquet set up for you in the garden".

Down in the massive gardens, every vampire was discussing the new pact with the members of their covens, when the Prince strolled in he was immediately ambushed by coven leaders.

"It was a wise decision your Majesty" a certain black hair young man told him.

"I know Shikamaru, the energy wasted on a fruitless war could very well be spent on something useful" he replied lazily. He shifted uncomfortably he wanted to leave already back to his chamber where his love awaited his return but he had to attend to all questions and doubts here.

"The humans won´t stand for such pact you know that they don't even trust themselves let alone vampires" Shikamaru remarked.

"Well if they do not want to be wiped out from the face of this earth than they better keep to their castles and not test my patients" he pointed out.

"Oh I can't believe those humans honestly, they think they can do whatever they want and everything will obey, who died and made them the ruling race!" exclaimed Naruto.

They were the heads of their covenants and regarded the Dark Prince as a friend instead of the almighty ruler of an entire race.

"My Prince the trading routes for the vampires have been arranged, we will not be seen and if daylight were to catch us, there are plenty of safe places along the way" Neji told him. He accent with his head in acknowledgment, before addressing the dark presence behind him.

"It seems you have something to discuss with me, Deidara?" his Majesty said without turning while the others who stood in a circle with him look behind him to see a vampire with long blond hair covering a side of his face.

" Oh yes your Majesty, my covenant and I were wondering what will happen to our slave trading business now that you have forbidden such activity, who do we go to for the compensation of so much money invested that now is worth dirt!" he spat out the last word.

"Well Deidara you and your covenant have lost all of your investments, seeing as the only income you have comes from slave trading, am I right? You will just have to find a reasonable solution now won´t you, but you know for a moment there it seemed to me as if you wanted me to solve your problems?... Now what you have to ask yourselves is why would I do such a thing, it would be a lot easier to just wipe out your entire covenant don't you think?" he slyly added.

Some backed away from him, if they had had similar doubts like Deidara and his people well now! they certainly thought twice to approach the Prince like he had and demand solutions, everyone knew his Majesty only wanted the well being for all vampires and if the choices of a few affected them all then he would make sure to wipe out that black spot on his canvas.

"Well your Majesty it seems you have made a decision on this point, we will do all in our grasp to accommodate our losses" he muttered while bowing, the Prince knew that this matter was not over, but no one could dispute his position or power, so they had no choice but to obey him, yes he knew they were railing against him but it didn't bother him one bit.

!¡

"Wow Sasuke you do know how to shut people up don't you?" Naruto remarked as all the guest were leaving seeing as the sun would rise in only a few hours. Naruto would only ever call the Prince by his name when they were in each other's company.

"That won't be the end of that story I can assure you"

"You're right they were always ones for holding a grudge, the Akatsuki were"

"I´ll be in my chambers if something comes up, good day" Sasuke said.

"All right" Naruto replied.

He walked on to the deepest part of the manor, where he opened a door and the moon was shining upon a figure on a massive four poster bed with red dressings.

He reached the bed and immediately lay down. Finally he could be and do what he had wanted all night, to be alone with her. He reached over and brushed her long silken hair form her face, she opened her eyes to see him laying down beside her, the moonlight had turned her eyes silver instead of green.

"Sasuke" she breathed while leaning into him to brush her lips against his "are they all gone"?

"Yes, they have, all in thanks to the coming sun" he signed.

She giggled at his melodramatics.

He shifted to pull her to him, kissing her passionately on the lips where he devoured her, he slowly kissed his way to her neck, as he felt his fangs lengthen he pulled back and looked at her face telling her silently what he needed, she raised her hands to his face and pulled him toward her neck like child that was about to be nurtured by his mother, he tightly wrapped an arm around her waist and the other came to cradle her face as he violently sank his fangs into her, a growl rumbleling in his chest,sucking greedily, she moaned out in response. He moved to hover over her immediately nestling between her legs as he kept on feeding.

He finally pulled back swallowing hard to see her face flushed and breathing heavily.

"How many … times do I have to tell you… to stop me before you begin to weaken" Sasuke quietly scorned her while trying to catch his breath.

"I know, I know its just I cannot bring myself to stop you, I could never deny you something that you need so desperately"

She knew he had no self control when it came to her, he didn't think while feeding or making love to her, all that ran through his mind was that he had to make her his, drink her into him or trying to meld their bodies into one, his instincts telling him it still wasn't enough it would never be enough!

"Now you're being dramatic" he laughed at her "I had just drank a few glasses at the reunion you know, I didn't need so much, but nothing could ever compare to your flavor, but you cannot be careless when it comes to your health. You are vital to my survival both figurative and literally speaking. Without you I could never lay here by your side basking in these rays of golden sunshine".

He watched as a blush slowly made its way to her face, he brought his hand across the expanse of her cheek caressing. He didn't blush, he could never blush. "Actions like these, remind me how different we really are" he remarked.

She heard the worried laced in his voice and hugged him tightly desperately never wanting to let him go.

It was that difference that caused her love so many worries, the secret truth that made her hide behind a veil day after night, she couldn't be seen by anyone, for they would know she wasn't something of this world… or the next.

And he would suffer; her Sasuke would eternally suffer for her.

"I love you Sasuke"

"I love you too… my Sakura"

Ok what you think!

This story just popped into my head while I was writing my other story "Ashiteru" and it kinda just writes itself. I wanted to focus on the aspect that Sasuke Uchiha seems to be incredibly possessive (not sure why) so that's how this story was born. Its mainly about the love that two people can feel for one another and that nothing gets in their way for them to be together, it doesn't have to do with being a good or bad person , I don't know if you noticed Sasuke´s dark side (hence the "Dark" Prince title) , hey it's just human nature ok! Deal with it! jing/jang remember?

Oh and this world is kind of a mix between the lord of the rings (arquitecture, village of the elves) and Hellboy II ( clothes, Prince Nuada as he´s about to kill his father, Nuala´s style for the woman and variation of creatures).
