-PART ONE: Something Strange Afoot

- Chapter I: Sakura's Diary Entry #125

MARCH 14th

I remember not so long ago, before all this got started, when life was a little bit more simple. I didn't have to worry about the difficult issues in life, nor did I have to worry about the world as I do now. The world has changed. It's a darker, more sinister place.

I don't know how we're going to escape but we'll find a way. We always have. We've been living as if there's no tomorrow for weeks now. I'm not even sure of the time. The days merge together, the weeks and months as one, everyday a constant struggle, a constant struggle for survival. That's why I've been keeping this diary - to keep track of the days. But it only helps a little.

My friends are gone. So many who I loved and cherished. They were taken, by vampires, beasts not of this world. How could this have happened?

I feel like stopping. I feel like just laying down and giving up and let it all go, all the pain, all the sorrow. To end all of this in just an instant, is it a dream too good to be true? Then Sasori reaches out his hand. I extend mine and take it. He hauls me to my feet with great power and ease. I fall into his chest in tears. I look into his eyes, his soft brown eyes. I'm in love all over again. I wrap my arms around him and he hugs me back.

I have to go on. I have to make it. For him. And for us. For all of us who have survived so far. I'm not sure if we'll all survive another day but we'll try and that's all we can do. And we can love. We can love one another and hold onto that thought.

I never believed in fairy tails or strange stories as a child but this all just seems like a mad dream, stranger than any fantasy or story. I just hope it has a happy ending.

It all started at school one day. I was there as usual and then everything happened so quickly. Vampires. I couldn't believe it. My life, my simple life in Konoha Village gone forever. I don't see anyway back. I just have to go on. We have to go on together.

I hope someone reads this diary someday and knows about the struggle that we all faced when the world faced it's darkest hour. We leave the forest tomorrow. It looks like there's a small town up ahead. I hope they have some food, I'm so hungry. I haven't eaten in days. I hope it's safe there too so we can just have a life. A nice, simple life. That's all I want.

Is that too much to ask?

MARCH 15th

Here I am again with this diary. That town was a waste of time. Everyone was gone. Dead. Perhaps dead was the wrong word. Undead. Vampires. I don't know how to describe them. I killed one. Driving a wooden stake right throughout its heart. Sasori killed a few and then we made a run for it. I tripped, almost got us killed again. I saw sharp fangs coming at me about to pierce my neck. And then he saved me as always did, as he always has. Sasori saved me. He extended his hand and hauled me to my feet. I fell into his chest in tears. I looked into his eyes, his soft brown eyes. Was I really in love all over again? There was always no time to think. WIthin seconds we were on the run again.

But today was a good day in all. Better than most anyway. I think we finally found a way to stop the vampires. At least that's what she said. Let's just pray it's not another false promise. Another false light at the end of our ever-winding dark road. It might be too good to be true but this girl is all we've got. Now we've got to go together and be prepared to go through anything to save the world.

I'm pretty tired now and need to sleep. Sasori is already asleep next to me. This has got to be the last time we sleep in a tree. It feels so nice leaning against him. Feeling his warmth brings an inner peace. It almost makes me forget about the nightmare reality. It almost makes me forget about all the blood-hungry vampires below us, waiting for us. Fangs as sharp as razors, ready to tear through flesh and limb. I know what awaits.

I have to write this quietly. I don't think they've noticed us yet. I just wonder one more thing as I look up at the bright full moon in the sky with wolves howling in the background.

Can vampires climb trees?
