Chapter 6: Truth behind Truths

Tea walked alone through the forest with dried blood in her hair and on her arms. Was it smart to lie to them? She asked herself as she walked dead ahead with her senses on high alert. Blood thirst, I tell them. They probably won't talk to me once they get back to the village and Tsunade-sama tells them the truth. I guess that'll be fine since I won't be anywhere near the campsite. She winced and her hand immediately went to her side and her eyes slightly widened at the blood on her hand as she looked at it. "Great! This is a horrible mission!"

A man behind her laughed. "Why look what we have here, it's a Red Mouse."

She rolled her eyes. Too many nicknames. Came her first thought. "Scram."

"Like that'll happen Mouse, why don't you come with me? I have someone who wants to see you."

Turning around she smirked. "And if I don't."

Blue eyes narrowed. "Then I'll just have to drag you there now won't I. However, I don't think I have to do that. You look too smart to not accept my offer."

The man had blue eyes and blonde hair, almost like Naruto. He almost looked exactly like Naruto, except this man didn't have whisker like scars like him. A replica… "I'll go with you, on one condition." Holding up a finger, she turned her attention to the forest. "Tell me who you want me to meet."

Another laugh. "Afraid I can't, Mouse. I would like to, but I have my orders."

"Take me to this person then."

Back at the Campsite

Gaara sat before Sasuke, Sakura, and Kakashi. "So spit it out!" Sakura yelled. "We're getting tired of waiting for the reason she acted like that."

The red head sighed. "She is like Naruto and me, she's a vessel. Originally, there are nine demons; the ninth is the strongest and the leader. My demon is the eighth and has a great blood thirst, while Naruto's is the ninth. You can guess which one she is."

Kakashi rolled his eye. "Her blood lust was strong, so she must be the seventh. But what I've heard it that the seventh was sealed in some necklace…or something like that." He sighed. "I also heard that if anyone had the seventh sealed in them like Naruto and you, Gaara, then they wouldn't live very long. The longest they could live would be about three days…"

"But we've known Tea for over two years!" Sakura exclaimed.

Sasuke nodded. "She's right. If Tea has the seventh in her, then how is she able to live so long? I think it's unusual."

The red head rolled his eyes. "I think you've known a lot of unusual people. For instance, you know Naruto and me, plus Tea." He crossed his arms. "You three go back to the village, I still have a mission. I have to watch that girl, so she doesn't get in to any trouble. Now go." He stood and began to walk off when Sasuke began to follow.

"I may not be much of a follower, but I'm following you. We're here to help Tea find Naruto. I don't care if she has a hunger for blood and death. I'm going to help her find him, and we're going to bring him back to Konoha." Black eyes stared into green. "Are you with us Sakura? Kakashi-sensei?"

The two nodded. "She asked us to come along to find him, and we won't abandon her." Sakura replied as she jumped up. "We'll find her together, and then we're going to go and find Naruto."

Gaara smirked. "That's nice to hear. Well, if you're coming, then come on."

Meanwhile…

The two were standing before an old building. "Don't worry," the man said, "it's not going to fall down anytime soon."

She sighed. "Like I'm worried about that. I think I'm more worried about blood…loss…" She wavered before being caught by the man.

"Kid?" He seemed surprised and sighed. "Maybe Kaito took a lot out of her. How is she supposed to go against Boss if she can't fight one guy alone…huh?" The man pulled out her canteen and was surprised. "I see…"
