Chapter Seventeen

A day after the battle...

Violet sighed as she entered her tent. It was the first time in a while she's been allowed to rest. Violet had been punished deeply after they got back. She was forced to face all the members of Hebi except Sasuke in battle. It was very difficult for her to fight all three at once. She ended pretty beaten up with a dislocated shoulder, multiple cuts and bruises all over her body, and mental scaring of things no one ever wanted to see... No one.

Violet didn't hate Sauske for treating her like this. She knew he was going to be pissed when she first decided to go along with Veronica. She disobeyed the man. She went behind his back and changed the plans on his mission. He wanted to kill and all Violet did was help the 'enemy' escape. Did Sasuke expect her to chose him over her best friend? Then it hit Violet... Sauske didn't know Veronica was her best friend. Maybe he thought this whole time she was just messing around and was working with the Akatsuki or Konoha. What if he kicks me off Team Hebi?! Violet thought worriedly. I couldn't fight my best friends like he did...

The flap to her tent opened and Suigetsu peaked his head inside. "Boss wants to see you." He said stepping in. He took a look at the injured girl and chuckled. "Would've gone easier on ya, but they were bosses orders." Violet nodded, she understood. Suigetsu held open the flap to the tent for Violet so she could exit. It hurt for her to walk. She had bandages covering almost all over her body and her arm still hurt from when it was dislocated. Karin had to pop it back into place, and she didn't go easy on Violet.

As Violet made her way to Sasuke's tent, she could feel the eyes of someone starring at her. She turned her head to see Karin glarring at her. The woman looked even more pissed than usual. Violet noticed Juugo wasn't anywhere to be seen. Suigetsu was following her into Sasuke's tent. Then she noticed... so was Karin. Group meeting? She wondered.

Violet stepped inside, with Suigetsu and Karin following her. Once inside, she noticed Juugo sitting in the corner, eyes closed. She knew he wasn't asleep. Sasuke was seated in the center on the tent, eyes locked on Violet. Suigetsu had he sit infront of Sasuke. She flinched when she sat down, it hurt just a bit. Karin sat in the corner of the tent behind her across from Juugo, who now had his eyes opened. Suigetsu sat in the other corner behind her.

Sasuke inhaled, then sighed. "Violet." He said in almost a whisper, which startled the girl. Sasuke had yet to say a word in the last twenty-four hours to her. She gulped and spoke up.

"Y-yes, Sasuke-sensei?" She asked nervously.

"I apologise." The room feel silent. Karin's eyes shot out of her head. Suigetsu was silently snickering at Karin, who noticed and hit hit on the arm. Juggo was just... sitting there like always. Violet sat there, very confused may I add, starring at the Uchiha. Why did he apologise? Shouldn't she be? "I am sorry to have treated you in this way over the last couple hours, but you disobeyed me." Violet hung her head. Yeah, she knew that, but she didn't want to hear it from Sauske of all people. She heard it enough from Karin. "I want to know what you were thinking when you let the two Akatsuki members and the five Konoha members go..." His voice didn't sound like he was angry at all. Or is he holding it all in to yell at me later when I tell him?

Violet sat up straight, and spoke back to the Uchiha. "Sasuke-sensei... I know you wanted information on your bro-" She stopped when Sasuke growled. She quickly changed her choice of words. "-on Itachi." She said scared Sasuke would yell for calling him his brother. Sasuke didn't speak, it was a sign for her to go on. "I was thinking, sensei... I couldn't do what you did." The four Hebi members all starred at her in confusion.

"What I did?" Sauske questioned the girl.

"That one girl in the Akatsuki... her name is Veronica... she is my best friend." Violet said bowing her head. "I could not fight my best friend and hurt her..." Sasuke's eyes deepened. This girl knew of his fight with Naruto? Was it part of her power or what? The other members looked at each other in confusion.

"How would you know that, Violet?" Sasuke asked glarring now. Violet 'eep'ed. She hadn't realized that she spilled some of Sasuke's past. She sat up straight again and rubbed the back of her head nervously.

"You see uh..." She chuckled lightly. When Sasuke's look didn't lighten up she sighed. "I guess I should start from the beggining..." Sasuke gave her a look that said 'You think?'. "Where I am from... thsi place does not exist." Violet started. Kairn looked at the girl as if she was retarded. Suigetsu moved closer to the girl as if she was telling a story and he was the child wanting to know more. Sasuke and Juugo stayed silent. "I am from a place called America." She explained.

"Is that some kind of secret village?" Suigetsu asked. Violet shook her head, chuckling at the man.

"Where I live... there are no such things as ninjas. No one had chakra in them. No one knows any jutsus unless they've watched or read Naruto." Violet explained. She covered her mouth when she srealized she had mentioned Naruto.

"Watched or read Naruto?" Sasuke repeated the girl. She only nodded, bringing her hand down.

"In my world, there is this show called 'Naruto'. In my world, you all are nothing but fictional characters drawn by Masashi Kishimoto." The four starred at her. "Veronica and I are best friends. We always hung out together and did everything together." She explained getting a chuckle from Suigetsu. She glarred at him and muttered, 'Not like that you perv'. "The reason I know everything about you, sensei is because most people in my world do. I know of your childhood, of your brother," She ment to say it that time. "of Orochimaru, or Team Hebi, of the Akatsuki, of Team Seven." She continued on. Sasuke glarred at her, this time he was pissed.

"You never anwsered my question..." He gritted his teeth. "What you were thinking when you let the two Akatsuki members and the five Konoha members go..." He repeated the question.

"I was thinking I couldn't kill my bestfriend... even if it was an order from my sensei." She whispered hanging her head. Sasuke was surrprised at the girl. She used to follow everything he said. Did eveything he said. What happened? "I know I disobeyed you, I know you think it was the only way to get to Itachi... but it wasn't." She explained. "You'll find him one day and learn the truth." She gave her sensei a small smile.

"The truth?" He questioned. Violet nodded. "What is the truth?"

"Something you must find out on your own, Sauske-sensei. I know the only reason you took me in was because of this power I have. If I didn't have it, I would've been left out on the street... or forest." Sasuke nodded slightly. "I knew at the beggining there had to be some reason you kept me around... then once you started training me... I figured it out. You told me I had special power in me... that's when I figured it was the only reason you were keeping me around."

"Then why didn't you leave if you knew we were using you?" It was Suigetsu who asked.

"Because... even if I was being used... I like here with you all..." Violet said smiling. "I have nowhere else to go... I mean, Veronica would probably talk Nagato-san into letting me join the Akatsuki, but then that would ruin the whole thing between Veronica and I." Violet said with a grin.

"What's that?" Suigetsu asked.

"Which Uchiha brother is better." Violet said with a grin.

A/N: Did Violet let out too much information? What about her meeting the Veronica in one day? Tell me what you thought of this chapter! I wanted Violet to let Sasuke know mroe about her... lol. Anyone know what the 'truth' is? I won't put it in the story until the last chapter, but it will be a spoiler... so if you haven't read Naruto, then you won't know... I'll let you all know what chapter I'm gonna put it on.
Lot's Of Love,
