.|. Vampire Heart .|.

[Raku]

<sup>It had only been two years. Two years that seemed like a full life time. Though in those two years, she could feel herself loose a heartbeat. A soul as many others could refer to it, loose her human self. She was no longer a ninja, nor did she look at herself like one. She was a vampire, the living dead.

It was a dark night when a young brunette ninja was walking through the dense forest, this very forest. The moon was coated with a thick layer of lush clouds, making most sight obscured. The animals sounds shied away, it was too quiet. Not even a cricket dared to sing its nighttime lullaby. The girl became slightly nervous, as she began to see a see blurred in the distance. It was then that her breath was gone. A tall dark shape stood in front of her, his eyes blood red. The girl shrieked in terror as he held her shoulders. His face inclined towards her neck, and within an instant she was laying on the ground. The shadow was gone, as the girl withered in pain. She felt like her neck was on fire, and the pain only turned worse for three days after. She lived in solitude, hiding in a small cave. Later on she finally gained back her subconscious and realized nothing was the same. Her eyes were a liquid topaz, light purple circles were under her eyes, and beauty had been enhanced.

It has been two years since then, as the vampire walked along the same path. Her topaz eyes darted from tree to tree, the world turning silent. Not a single breath had been taken since that day, not a single heartbeat. This story had no happy ending. For if it did, she would be under a gravestone as we speak.</sup>

The night was silent, nothing but the leaves of the trees could be heard from the wind blowing them. Quietly, Deidara walked through the forest, and sensed a large amount of chakra, a vampire's chakra, Raku's chakra. He smirked and jumped off towards her. He watched her every move in the dark. He knew it was her at the first sight of her beauty and her brilliant hair. He soon grew tired of observing her and jumped to a different tree. She seemed to get even more beautiful the closer he got. He smirked and jumped onto a tree branch directly above her. He built chakra into his feet and fell forward. He was standing upside-down hanging from the tree branch staring directly into her obsessive eyes. "Hello beautiful..." He spoke hoping she wasnt in a bad mood like she is when she's in her vampire state.

^{The shock of seeing her favorite blonde seemed to shudder throughout her bodice. She smirked slightly, showing her glittering fangs. The wind blew her hair lightly, as she leaned forward to kiss him gently. "Hello there..." She spoke in a velvet tone. Her topaz eyes locked with his as she began to feel his breath on her face. The cool breeze only made her icy skin colder to the touch. Snow began to drift from the billowing thick clouds above. The vampire looked up suddenly, watching the small white flakes drift from the moonlit sky. Her attention was focused clearly on the drifting snow flakes. Her fingertips brushed down Deidara's face, only chilling the air around her as her hand stayed on his face. She still looked up, watching the snow carefully. The moonlight shimmered down, causing Raku's eyes to glimmer unexpectedly.}

Deidara had a smile on his face when Raku kissed him. He felt Raku's icy cold hand on his face as it was snowing. The snow just made her touch feel even colder. The trees leaning over them and the dark clouds made it seem too dark. He moved Raku's hand from his face and disappear. He then appeared behind her and hugged her from behind. His hands locked around her waist while looking up at the snow flakes falling to the ground. The scope on his left eye felt cold on his face, like a block of ice stuck to his face. He looked down at Raku and kissed her on the neck then looked up again.

^{The vampiress let a content sigh escape through her chilled lips. She leaned back shuddering at the instant of touch. She looked up to him slightly, her fangs glimmering as she smiled. Her pale skin seemed to blend into the falling snow. A flake landed on her nose and she screamed from surprise. Running out of Deidara's grasp and into a tight circle. She kept screaming, until tripping over a small root jutting from the ground. Her icy eyes closed as she made contact with the snow covered ground, her bare arms becoming even colder. She turned over to look up at the sky, grinning sheepishly at her foolishness.}

[Aster]

^{Deidara stood there with his arms formed in a circle like he was still holding Raku. He had a smile on his face watching her running around until she tripped and fell. His smile turned to a frown and ran over to her leaving foot prints on the snow on his way to her. He knelt down to her smiling again. "I love how you are so clumsy, un. It makes you look so beautiful." He said standing back up holding his hand out for her to grab. "Come on. Get up, un." He didnt have much control of his hand mouths right now, so who knows what they could do.}

[Raku]

Raku sighed and looked up with a sheepish grin. "Eh, what kind of vampire is this clumsy? I still have human in me, and it is getting annoying." She spoke in a velvet smooth tone. She reached out with her take grasp his, helping her stand from the snow bound ground. She was now almost coated in snow, it clung daintily to her bodice. The small flakes shimmered in her long waves of hair as she giggled at herself once more. The sound seem to toll like Church bells, no sound more beautiful to human ears. Her topaz eyes looked into his, while her hand was still holding onto his.
