Chapter 6

Nabiki was busy making dinner. She knew her father would be home tonight. Tomorrow was the day they would visit the Uchiha district to talk with Naruto. She smiled a sad smile as she thought about her older brother. If he were still alive he'd be sixteen. He'd probably be close to making Jounin if he hadn't already. She remembered watching him train when she was little. He was always so determined, and that determination showed. He was one of the most promising students at the Academy. When he declared his dream to be Hokage, few believed he wouldn't be able to achieve it.

The front door opened and she heard her father come in. She came out of the kitchen and gave him a smile. Minato returned her smile with one of his own, though Nabiki could tell it was half-hearted. He gave her a quick hug and the two sat down to a silent dinner.

After dinner, Nabiki was busy with the dishes while Minato was sitting down trying to complete some paperwork he had brought home. A knock at the door made him pause and look up before walking over to answer.

Minato smiled when he saw his sensei at the door. That smile faded quickly, however, when he saw the look on Jiraiya's face. He knew instantly that something was wrong. He let him in and walked into the kitchen.

"Nabiki. Don't worry about the dishes for now. Why don't you go to your room and get some rest?" Minato asked his daughter.

Nabiki knew something was up, "Sure, okay." She dried her hands and made her way down the hallway.

Minato went back to Jiraiya, "What happened?"

000000000000000000000000000000

Nabiki went to her room and shut the door, but she had no intention of resting. Immediately she began the hand signs for a jutsu she had learned while looking through the scrolls in the Hokage Tower. Minato had no idea she knew this jutsu and she wanted to keep it that way. As she finished the hand signs, she closed her eyes and was rewarded with a mental picture of the living room. She could see them and hear everything they were saying.

"You… might want to sit down, Minato" Jiraiya told his student.

Minato took a seat on the couch and Jiraiya sat in the adjacent chair, "There's been some news about the vampire that was captured."

"The one who had no memory of his human life, right?" Minato asked.

"Yeah…" Jiraiya stated. "I really don't know how to put this gently. In fact I'm not sure it can be put gently…"

"What is it? Just tell me." Minato said.

Jiraiya took a deep breath, "The vampire we captured is… Naruto."

Nabiki gasped and she saw her father freeze as though an arrow had just gone through his heart. It couldn't be, Nabiki thought, Naruto was dead… Minato looked up at his teacher with something between shock and disbelief in his eyes.

"The interrogators performed a mind reading jutsu on him that broke through his dormant memories. It seems that when Itachi attacked the Uchiha's, he turned both Naruto and Sasuke and erased all their memories of who they were."

Minato stood up and started walking down the hallway, "Minato?" Jiraiya asked, "What do you want to do?"

"Just… Give me a while…" he answered without looking back.

As Minato made his way toward his bedroom, Jiraiya let himself out and Nabiki opened her eyes in shock. She started shaking her head back and fourth. No… He couldn't be… Naruto was always so against vampires and now…

Nabiki had to see for herself. Silently, she opened the window and jumped out into the night.

Night had fallen and Hinata made her way back to the vampire's hideout. She was still shaking. She knew that if she was caught, she would be considered a traitor, and there was only one thing to do with traitors…

She opened the door and made her way down into the basement. Sasuke faced her, "Ready?"

She nodded.

The three crept out into the night and Hinata led them to the interrogation compound.

With efficient ease, Sasuke and Gaara dispatched the guards and they snuck inside.

Sasuke sniffed the air and started down the left hallway, "He's this way."

000000000000000000000000000000

Nabiki had reached the interrogation compound and was about to sneak in when she saw the guards lying unconscious. She gasped and ran inside.

As she made her way into the prisoner cell block, she was met with more guard casualties along the way. Whoever had broken in wasted no time. No alarms had gone off which was a testament to their efficiency.

"Naruto!"

Nabiki froze when she heard the voice. They were right around the corner. She crept forward on tiptoe and glanced around the wall. She immediately recognized the girl who had shouted before as Hinata Hyuuga. The other two… One had red hair and black circles surrounding his eyes. He had the Chinese symbol for love tattooed on his forehead. Nabiki didn't recognize him. The other… looked just like Sasuke Uchiha.

She looked on in fear as Sasuke blasted the lock with a fire jutsu and Hinata ran inside. Nabiki heard the sound of chains breaking followed by two sets of footsteps running out of the cell.

It… it was him… There was no doubting who had just come out of the cell. It was her brother… He really was a vampire… Nabiki stepped back and cursed when she felt a piece of rubble crunch under her shoe.

In a second the red haired vampire was in her face, a sadistic grin showed off his fangs. He grabbed her before she even had time to think and dragged her back into the hall with the others.

"Nabiki?!" Hinata gasped.

Naruto's eyes widened as he looked from Hinata to the girl in Gaara's grasp. "Stop!" he shouted.

Gaara froze only centimeters from the girls neck and looked up at Naruto with a growl.

Naruto's blue eyes iced over as he stared at his friend, "Let her go."

"Why should I? Thanks to you getting yourself captured, I haven't had a chance to eat yet tonight!" Gaara replied.

Sasuke saw the determination in Naruto's eyes and wondered why this girl would spark such a reaction in him. Sure, he knew it bothered Naruto that Gaara killed, but he never tried to stop him before. He turned to his blonde haired friend and realized that something had changed. His eyes were different… This wasn't the same Naruto as before…

Naruto stepped forward and shot off a wave of killing intent at Gaara, "Let… Her… Go."

Gaara growled but released his prize. He knew very well that Naruto was stronger than him.

Nabiki took a step towards Naruto and was about to say something when…

BRRRRUUUUUM BRRRRUUUUUM BRRRRUUUUUM

Sasuke cursed, "Dammit the alarms!"

"We gotta get out of here!" yelled Naruto.

"What about her?" Sasuke questioned, turning to face the frozen Nabiki.

Naruto eyed Nabiki carefully, "We'll bring her with us."

Naruto grabbed Hinata and took off with inhuman speed followed closely by Sasuke carrying Nabiki and Gaara bringing up the rear.

Minato couldn't sleep. He had been laying in bed staring at the ceiling for hours. His son, the light in his life after Kushina had died… was alive. But he had been turned into one of them… Why?

Minato sighed and got up to make himself some ramen. He stopped by Nabiki's room to check on her first. Minato eyes widened and his breathing started becoming faster. Nabiki wasn't in her room…
