Naruto Fan Fiction ❯ Hot Blood ❯ Hot Blood 2 ( Chapter 2 )

Nothing was going to plan. Sakura furiously searched her closet for her cute, little, red dress but like usual- she couldn't find it. Grumbling and plopping herself onto her small bed, she chewed on her bottom lip and tried to figure out where she last had her dress.

'Where did I put it? Last time I wore it I...' Smacking herself on the side of her head for forgetting, she sighed.

'That's right. I let Hinata borrow it for tomorrow night. She had that special party her family was throwing her for her birthday. Crap, what am I going to wear for tonight...wait what about that black dress?' Getting up she went to the corner of her room and pulled out a floorboard and gently lifted out a bag. Slowly she lifted a cute, short, black dress from the bag and sighed.

'I had hoped I would never have to wear this thing. It's way too short and too low cut but...Ino won't take 'Sorry, I don't have a dress.' she'd flip out on me. Afterall, I WAS the one who asked her if she wanted to go.' Sighing for the millionth time, she slipped on her tiny black dress. Once upon a time ago it might not have bothered her but she had to have her tops and skirts resized cause about three years ago she seemed to have one last growth spurt and she got at least two of four of her wishes. Huge, round breasts and nice curvy hips. Well every up has it's down she guessed. Now every time she talked to someone, the seemed to be talking to her breasts rather than to her...back to the dress though...it was made of fine satin and clung to her every curve and she blushed at how the bottom barely brushed mid-thigh, showing off more of her legs than she liked. It had a halter top and it cut so low you could see the swells of her breasts.

Sighing, she spun around once and smiled at how such a simple dress could go a long way. Sai had bought it for her on her birthday. He had told her he would of bought her a paper bag to hide her face but Naruto warned him not to and had picked this out for her. Regardless to say, Sai still has a black eye. Sakura was jerked from her thoughts as she heard a squeal.

"Wow, never once did I think you'd have the guts to wear that!" Ino squealed and spun Sakura around for inspection.

"...I think I'm jealous for once over you, Forehead...but I'll let it go just this once though." Ino winked and Sakura laughed. Sakura glanced at Ino's short blue dress. Even though Ino's dress didn't cut so low in the front, it dipped really low in the back. It was about the same length as hers but Ino still looked eye catching in hers. Sakura doubted she'd catch any guy’s eye but she really wasn't going out guy hunting. She just wanted to relax and have fun.

"Whatever Ino." Sakura laughed and pulled on her black spiked hills, courtesy of Sai, and added a little black eyeliner, mascara, and a light pink lip gloss. Tossing her hair up into a messy bun, she placed a couple strands of her bangs to the side of her face. She winked at herself in the mirror and turned to Ino. Ino had some light blue eye shadow and clear lip gloss on. She didn't have anything else on. We didn't need to drown our faces in make-up to look pretty unlike most girls. We stuck to simplicity...well mostly.

"Let's go." Her and Ino exited the apartment and took off to the outskirts of Konoha.


~~~~~~~~~Somewhere in the forests of Fire country~~~~~~~~


"Are you sure he's after her?" A man with bright, spiky blue hair and molten gold eyes whispered to his companion as they jumped through the trees.

"Yes, he's already killed one woman. She's next and we both know it. I left to protect them but instead they're in even more danger now. I never thought he would go off on a killing spree. Hell, I never thought this would happen." Said the man's companion. His semi-long raven black hair trailed behind him as he glided through the trees. His red eyes glowing from the darkness of the forest.

The blue haired man sighed. He ran his clawed hand through his hair and suddenly stopped. His companion stopped beside him and closed his red eyes, his fist tightening with anger.

"It isn't your fault. He was already succumbing to the madness. He was already far gone by the time you returned. You know that as well as I...we need to hurry, night comes. If you wish to arrive there tonight, we need to go." The raven haired man nodded and once again they began to hop and glide through the tree tops.

"Maybe...maybe your right, Yomi...let's hurry." They speed off, racing into the dark forest...


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Outside of the new bar~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


"Dark Passion, eh? Strange name." Ino rolled her eyes and they walked to the front doors and walked in.

This wasn't like the clubs where they'd flash their id's to get in. They just walked in; flash their id’s for some drinks and then maybe a little dancing or shoots some pool. Ino liked going to clubs cause dancing was almost everything to a club, but Sakura liked bars better. They were much quieter and it was easier to relax with friends.

Sakura hated dancing, mainly because she hated everyone trying to be all up on her. It made her feel suffocated. Now Sakura could dance, better than most, but she just had no passion for it. She preferred drinking and pool. Of course she didn't make it a habit of drinking and what not, but when she did she enjoyed it to the fullest.

Walking into the bar, expecting a brightly lit, dusty, drunken hang out but what she saw shocked her. It was dimly lit and laughter echoed from the dark corners. Gorgeous men walked around without shirts, showing off toned and muscled chests. The sound of pool being played from one corner echoed across the room and the bar to the far back was large and clean and a handsome bartender winked at Ino and Sakura. Faint music could be heard over all the laughing. Women walked around in very small and tight dress, putting shame to Sakura's dress, and grabbed at the waiters butts. Sometimes you'd see the women walk into the door beside the bar, taking a waiter or two with them.

'Oh shit...we didn't just walk into a bar...we also walked into some type of brothel wannabe!' Sakura thought in horror. Her eyes nearly bugging out of her head. Ino had a slight blush on her cheeks.

"Um Sakura...I think we should leave..." Ino started. They both were a little uncomfortable.

"Right..." Just as they were about to leave, the man behind the bar waved them over. Looking at each other, Ino and Sakura walked over to the bar and sat in the leather stools. They squeak slightly, brand new it seems.

"How you two pretty ladies doing?" He once again winked at them and Sakura turned red. Ino looked unbothered by it. She was used to that kind of attention.

"Um...fine...we thought we'd check out the new...um...bar here. It seems nice." Sakura began, and coughing behind her hand.

"Yeah, we just opened not too long ago. We thought we'd try something new with this place. Many of the females that come in love it. I'm sure you'll love it too." He dried a glass cup and put it up, he smiled and the women giggled in the corner. Sakura glanced over at the women and blushed as one of the girls kissed one of the waiters in plain view. Ino sighed.

"Oh you've definitely tried something new alright..." Ino mumbled as she too watched the make out scene behind her.

"So would you ladies like anything to drink?" His smile could have lit a thousand skies with the brightness of his teeth. Maybe he was a hot cousin of Gai-sensei? Sakura shrugged and ignored the rioting women behind her.

"Gin and tonic please." The waiter nodded. He picked up a glass.

"Same here too." Ino joined in and they made sure to pay special attention to the waiter. They didn't quite trust him. They watched him make the drinks and were satisfied when he handed their drinks, sure they were clean.

Sipping their drinks, they watched the women break out in a fight over the waiter the girl had kissed. Two guys walked out from one of the corners near the entrance and escorted the women out. The bar was then quiet and then a slight giggle here and there could be heard but otherwise it was fairly quiet. Finishing their drinks they ordered another and walked over to the pool table. They decided to give this place a try.

Two men were standing around the table playing pool when Ino and Sakura walked up. One of the men was around Ino and Sakura's age and he towered over them. He had long dark hair and the brightest blue eyes Sakura had ever seen. He wore dark jeans and his white button up shirt gapped open to show off his muscled chest. The other man was shorter than the first but he still stood a couple of inches taller than Ino and Sakura. He had shoulder length platinum blonde hair and his dark green eyes sparkled with mischief. He too had dark colored pants on but he had no shirt on, showing off his toned and muscled chest. Sakura wanted to know where they got all of these men from. Almost everyone of the men in this place had the body of a God. This place got creepier and creepier by the minute and she didn't really know why. There was something strange in their eyes. She couldn't quite place it but it was totally off and it made the place creepy she guessed or maybe it was something else that she was totally missing.

"Hello ladies, might I interest you in a game?" The tall one said. Sakura watched Ino nearly melt at the tone of his voice. Low, dark...promising. Sakura shivered at his tone.

"Why sure boys. Hope you’re ready to be beaten." Ino winked at tall, dark and handsome.

"We'll see ladies. We're not called the best for nothing." The platinum said. His voice was hot and heavy. She wasn't sure what but it was heavily accented...it was very exotic and it caused both Ino and Sakura to turn red.

They played for hours, neither team getting ahead of the other. They laughed and joked, never caring about how late is was becoming. Very little did Sakura and Ino get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday kunoichi living. So they enjoyed it to the fullest. They drank until they couldn't tell you up from down. Ino was having the time of her life it seemed and Sakura had begun to forget about the nightmares. In the end they ended the game with a tie and parted ways.

"We must get back home. Thank you for the game." Ino laughed as she nearly tripped. She had one too many drinks and honestly, Sakura wasn't much better.

"Alright ladies, be sure to come back. We have a tie to settle." The Platinum, which they found out his name, was Hakiel, said with a slight bow. Mister tall dark and handsome they found out was called Tatsu. He nodded and watched as Ino and Sakura left, leaning on each other.

As the two young women left, a figure emerged from the shadows and approached Hakiem and Tatsu. Long, curling black hair dragged on the floor behind him and red eyes glared out at the two men. Pale skin almost seemed to glow in the darkness of the bar. An angelic face peered at the two men.

"Is she the one?" He asked voice low and threatening.

"Yes master." They both said in unison. Their eyes downcast.

"Good." A smile twisted his angelic features. His laugh echoed throughout the bar. The two men cringed, knowing the lashing they would receive. Knowing that no matter what they did, their master would always be cruel to them and deep inside, they feared for the girl


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Street's of Konoha~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Sakura watched as Ino stumbled into her apartment beside the flower shop and slowly made her way down the dark streets of Konoha. Shivering, Sakura wrapped her arms around herself. It was freezing out here! Sakura berated herself for not bringing her jacket. Now she was probably going to catch a cold or something.

Turning the corner, she bit her lip. That bar was very strange. Something wasn't quite right about it. Yes the men there were hot. They were the stuff dreams were made of, but...it just seemed...like they didn't really have a choice. Their eyes seemed almost...afraid. She just didn't know what to ma...

'What the?' Sakura stopped suddenly as she saw a flash in the corner of her eye. Looking over, she noticed a shadow move down the alley beside her. Looking at the shadow for a long moment she thought she had imagined it but then it moved and stepped into the light. A gasp graced her lips as she stared at the raven haired man. His eyes stared straight into hers and she stood frozen. Then just as quickly as she saw him, he disappeared. Running down the alley way she turned the corner and ran straight down the path. She knew she saw him, she knew it was him!

After what seemed like an eternity she emerged on the main street near the road to her house. Looking around she saw no sign of him. She hopped onto the rooftop near her and nearly fell. Shaking her head, she looked around for him but saw no sign of him. Head hanging and shrugging it off as her drunken imagination, she hopped down with a stumble and walked over to her street straight to her apartment.

'I know I saw him...maybe I just imagined it. I didn't sense no chakra come or leave. Plus he just disappeared...well no more drinks for me for a while...' Dragging herself to her apartment, she threw open the door, slammed it, and barely made it to the couch before she tripped onto it. The last thing she remembered before drifting off to sleep was that he had glowing red eyes.

'Must have been a hallucination...Sasuke's eyes don't glow...' And she was out, darkness consuming her mind. Free from one night of her accursed nightmares...
