Hey Rea! Its Trisha! Guess what…? Bet you can't, but me and Aiko are coming! Apparently we're having an extra week long without school and we volunteered ourselves to come to Konoha and visit and so we're coming and that's final young lady! Don't even try to deny it! Are you listening to me woman?! You better, meet us at the in Konoha in two hours. (cause, mind you we're on the plane right now.)

Trisha

"Hey, Rea! Where's those Otter pops that you said you saved for us?" Lycan called from downstairs. Kiba and Lycan were raiding my freezer, yet again. Akamaru licked my hand and I scratched his white ear.

"They're on the left near the frozen sauce." I called from my desk in my room and began to reread Trisha's email. Ugh, great, this can't be good that all. I hadn't checked my e-mail since last night and plus it was sent almost two hours ago.

I had Kiba, Lycan, and Gaara here. Kiba and Lycan were of course coming over cause their mom kicked them out of the night and Takeshi allowed them to stay, as long as they didn't made a lot of noise. Gaara was here to guard me, while everyone else went out on the hunt or some other vampire dealing that they'd didn't inform me of. The quiet redhead peeked over my shoulder at the computer, Takeshi didn't know he was here because he was gonna be at work for the day.

"Hmm…Aiko and Trisha…" Gaara pondered with his usual blank face. His eyes narrowed, especially on Aiko's name as if he knew her.

"Aiko's a good friends of mine." I tell him with a small smile. He licks his fangs in hunger and his light jade eyes changed to black within seconds, then back.

"I knew an Aiko once. She was killed." Gaara told me with a sadness falling into his face.

"Oh, I'm sorry. She must've been very dear to you," He nodded. "How'd she die?"

"She was, shot by a jealous boyfriend. She had our child, I was able to save my child and I ended up shot too." Oh, dear god. Though this time on his back, was a gourd, and I doubt it was for fashion. "The sand should've protected me."

My eyes stared down and I gasped staring at the computer clock. "GUYS!"

Gaara brought up his head in alarm and quickly gazed around the room for any sign of enemies, but quickly dropped that when he saw I was looking at the clock. His sand began to quickly flow back into his gourd and he folded his arms. Kiba and Lycan were up to me quickly nearly out of breath.

"We have to pick up two of my friends." I said grabbing my car keys and everyone filed out of the house behind me. Kiba and Lycan sat in the back seat and Gaara sat next to me in the front.

Gaara glanced aver at me and spoke lowly so the two lovebirds in the back couldn't hear him. "You won't be able to fit two extra people. Someone will have to walk or fit them in the back."

"I know. Most likely I'll stuff Trisha in the back. Will you move to the back and have Lycan sit up here?" He nodded and I heard the dialing of a phone from the back. "Kiba! Who are you calling?"

"I'm thinking that we should call Naruto and Sakura," Kiba paused handing the phone to Lycan so she would talk to them. "and their asses over to us and meet these friends of yours."

"Oh Kiba!" I flushed groaning in complaint resisting to slap myself. I doubt Takeshi wants that many people, but he is probably happy that I'm making new friends.

I scanned the streets for my friends they were probably standing around tapping their feet impatiently. My eyes fell upon two teenage girls who were fighting over…something and had one bag per girl. They looked like a bunch of tourists. It had to be them.

One girl appeared to the oldest of the two girls and had a lesser heavy bag. She had long black hair approximately above her waist and appeared to slightly curly. Her eyes were a coal black and small. She was taller than the other girl and had a pink over one shoulder Red Jumpsuit Apparatus backpack as her airplane carry-on bag. She wore a black short-sleeve shirt and a semi dark and light jeans. There were holes along the bottom of them. That was Aiko.

The other girl, the youngest passed a bit heavier bag than Aiko's bag. She had short abnormal chocolate hair with green and orange streaks all around her hair, original she had just green streaks, but decided to add orange too. Her eyes didn't match her hair, they were a dark purple. She wore lighter clothes however, a pale blue shirt and a pair of light blue caprices with sandals. Neither appeared ready for life in this city. This was Trisha.

Whatever they were arguing over, was a pointless subject that either one just came to think of and began talking aloud and the other disagreed harshly. I sighed and stopped the car near the sidewalk and forced Gaara's window down so I could call out to them.

"Oi! Would you two halt the bickering and get your asses over here!" I called to them and they turned to my voice smiling. I slammed down shut as we embraced each other heartily. "Were you two arguing over something very random?"

"Trisha brought it up!" Aiko automatically cried and began to snicker quietly while Trisha scowled.

I giggled and turned back to everyone in the car. "Trisha, Aiko, this is Lycan, Kiba, and Gaara. They're a few of my friends here." The two waved at them.

Trisha and Lycan decided to sit in the back of the car, as in the trunk of my car. Gaara and Aiko shared the back, while Kiba sat up front with me. He raised an eyebrow asking if that was a good idea to allow Lycan sitting in back with Trisha and I said it would be fine, but…I didn't know the half of it.

In the back, Trisha and Lycan began staring at each other in silence. It's the kind of silence I like, where everyone is quiet or I'm home alone with Neji holding me. They were just staring at each other blankly in that silence in the trunk. Lycan lifted up her hand. "Hi, I'm Lycan."

Trisha did the same. "I'm Trisha."

But then, out of nowhere, Lycan poked Trisha's forehead softly and Trisha's friendly face changed. "What the hell was that for?"

"I don't know." Lycan shrugged. "Just seeing how you would react to something like that." Trisha flushed and scowled some more, until…she poked Lycan in the forehead as well.

Lycan grinned evilly and poked her back and Trisha followed. It officially became a poking contest back. As they were poking each other, they began yelling at each, throwing curses like;

"God damnit stop poking me!"

"I'll stop when you stop!"

"You started it werewolf!"

"Very funny! You emo lover!" That made Trisha very flustered and attacked my actual werewolf friend with more poking.

Kiba sighed leaning back in his seat as he watched them with a very displeased look. "God, I tolded you it wasn't a good idea."

I bit down on my lip and nodded in agreement. I practically wanted to scream at them to stop the poking and shut the hell up, but I could never say that to my friends, no mater how angry I get. But then I felt a soft poke on my shoulder, behind this seat was Aiko and she seemed to be acting quiet. So, it had to be Aiko wanting my attention. "Dude, Raidon, what's that kid's problem? He keeps staring at me."

My eyebrow rose and I peeked over my shoulder back at Gaara, which Aiko had been telling the truth, he was glancing over at her. I sent the redhead a "please stop freaking out my friend. Humans don't like being stared at" look. He nodded and began to stare out the window instead while Aiko blushed lightly as he turned away. No way. Was Aiko crushing on a vampire…? Oh, boy…

My car halted in the driveway and by the time I opened the trunk there were small buries on Lycan and Trisha's face from too much poking. I sighed. "You two are the weirdest people I know."

"Oi! Raidon," Naruto's voice called out from the front porch and ran over to us. There was no sign of Sakura anywhere, she must have been busy today. Aww, well.

Naruto froze when he caught sight of Trisha and she saw him too. Her face went slightly red as he waved at her politely. Oh, an instant connection of crushing today, gah. Everyone entered the house quietly and everyone scrambled to sit on the couch, Oh bugger.

"Alright, guys. What movie, do you wanna watch?"

They all agreed, though Lycan argued that they should see Blood and Chocolate. But we all agreed to watch Hell Boy 2 The Golden Army, that was released over two years ago and was still a pretty good damn movie.

"Man, that was awesome!" Aiko exclaimed after the credits came jumping off the couch and headed back into the kitchen to make more popcorn. Everyone laughed at Aiko's big exit.

Even Gaara laughed at the part where Hell Boy and Abe were drunk and were singing to a song that talked about smiling and love. I loved Hellboy because his favorite line was oh crap, I love that phrase. Then Trisha began to search through her bag and pulled out a movie; Titanic. That was a good movie, but most people get really sappy during and after the movie.

During movie of course Lycan fell asleep on Kiba's shoulder and he began stroking her red-black hair out of her face and kissed her forehead gently. Aiko was sobbing in Gaara's arms, that's whom she decided to sit next to, Aiko was either enjoying the movie and was crying about it or trying to connect with Gaara. He looked over at me desperately and I mouthed to him to stroke her hair lightly, he did so anyway. Trisha was tearing up for the last half of the movie, but fell asleep. Her head landed on Naruto's lap and he blushed lightly.

Though he must be feeling a pang of guilt for kind of cheating on Sakura for this. God, I hope he doesn't leave her just because of Trisha. I can't really picture Sakura feeling heart broken, but she kind of likes Rock Lee, the weird hyperactive boy who works out with Gai-sensei…a lot.

There was a honk from my driveway and I knew it wasn't Takeshi's car, but Neji's, he was picking up Gaara. I shook the redhead's shoulder to grab his attention and he kissed Aiko's forehead and he escorted himself, but I decided to follow him out to greet Neji. Once Gaara into the car and buckled up, he stared out the window to ignore us. Neji smiled down at me lightly and kiss my forehead.

"Have fun today?" He asked me.

"Yeah, even Gaara did." I whispered to him so Gaara couldn't hear me. Neji laughed lightly.

"So, that stubborn redhead had some actual fun, eh?" Neji inquired raising his eyebrow playfully over at the redhead who looked away from him stiffened. Neji chuckled lightly. "Will you be okay alone tonight? I have to hunt today again because Kakashi said I might…try to go mad without extra blood."

I blushed lightly brushing a lock of my hair out of my face and nodded. He leaned in and kissed my cheek lightly as he got into his car. They drove away and I went back inside. But I couldn't quite knock off a suspicion that Neji wasn't telling me something, I already knew they were vampires and about the woman in my head, who talks of destroying the entire human population or that God is really the devil.

What else could he be hiding from me? Then my head showed me that man with at first black eyes, but then switched to red at times. Why did Neji always react to that man like he was afraid or very vicious towards that man? Who is he to Neji? He must be someone important to Neji, that it sickens him so much to hear about him or see him. Like back in when he saved me, that vampire upset him greatly. Who is that man? What's his connect to Neji?
