I'm finally back! And now I can give you the next chapter! Hurray!

I do not own the characters nor anything about Naruto. But I own Yuki and the plot.

Sasuke: Now she's back. So could you get off my back?

Yuki: (sitting on Sasuke) But you're so comfortable!

Sasuke: I don't care, get off!

Yuki: I'll get off your back after the chapter, okay? I promise.

We had brought Naruto to my mansion, to an unused bedroom. He is well asleep, and alive.

That fact alone puts my worries aside a little.

I can still trust Yuki.

But then again, she has been acting strange since we brought him home.

She is avoiding my look.

She tries to stay away from me, I think.

There is something wrong with her. I can sense it.

It's been two days since we got back with Naruto.

None of us has left the mansion since. And now that I think about it, we didn't speak much since, either.

I am sitting on a chair beside Naruto's bed, my back facing the door.

He keeps wincing in his sleep as though he was having a bad dream.

The wound Yuki made him is healed already.

"I hope you'll wake up soon, my Naruto." I say, squeezing gently his hand in mine.

"No need to hope. He should wake up any minute, now." says Yuki's voice behind me.

I turn around in my chair and look at the open door.

Yuki is standing there, looking at the floor beneath me, melancholy on her face.

Some might say I am a fool to not fall for her beauty. They said so when I turned down Sakura in public.

But Yuki…

I don't feel like I should desire her. In fact, I almost consider her like a sister. She is my friend. Even more than Sakura or Kakashi.

"You care deeply for him, don't you?" she asks.

"Yes. Naruto and I… we're lovers." I say, looking back at Naruto.

"Did he bit you? Or scratched you?"

"I don't remember…" I reply, looking at her.

"It's okay. If you don't remember… he might."

"I do." says Naruto.

We look at him as he sits up in bed. He grunts a curse, wincing in pain.

"What did you put inside me? I feel like every muscle in my body was on fire and my head was about to burst!" he says, rubbing his head.

"I injected a special treatment in your body that stops you from transforming. You'll have to take it again in five days." says Yuki. She walks to the other side of the bed and sits on a chair with a sigh. "'Cause I don't think you want to transform again."

"What's it made of anyway?"

"Silver, viper venom and a magic, secret other thing I can't tell you about for now." she answers, looking at the ceiling.

"I thought werewolves were allergic to silver." I say.

"Yes, they are. It acts like a deadly poison in their system. But the secret ingredient changes that for the treatment."

"How come you know this many things about werewolves?"

"You don't need to know." She looks through the window. "At least not now. It's too soon."

The orange light from the setting sun is piercing the open window and bathing the room. It will be night soon.

"Anyway…" says Yuki, looking back at Naruto. "Did you bite or scratch Sasuke to blood?"

"Yes." replies Naruto. "I did both on the night of the last full moon."

Yuki turns to me and looks deep into my eyes. I haven't seen her dark green eyes for a long while…

"At the next full moon, then, you will be a wolverine and transform." she says with a sad look. "And my mixture can't stop the first transformation."

I stand, my eyes wide of astonishment and fear.

"I will have to hunt both of you down." she continues, looking back at the window.

Naruto looks at her. "Can't you… I don't know… help us instead of hunting us?" he asks.

She smirks amusedly, not taking her eyes off the window. "I could. But then it would be against Tsunade's orders."

"I think…" says a voice from the door.

We all look at the person who spoke.

"I think I could change my orders if you let me." says Tsunade, a wicked smirk plastered on her lips.

"What changes your decision so suddenly?" asks Yuki.

"Let's say that I care for Naruto and you, and that I know something they don't." says Tsunade.

Yuki's eyes widen. "You know about that?"

"Yes. For longer than you could expect. And I think you're late to take it." says Tsunade with a frown.

Panic grows on Yuki's features as she looks back at the window.

The sun is set.

She stands up quickly and runs to the door. But she falls on her knees as she passes the doorframe.

I stomp to her and help her get up.

"We must take her to her room." says Tsunade. "Fast."

I nod even though I don't understand what's happening to Yuki. I take her to her room, followed by Tsunade and Naruto. I put Yuki down on the bed.

She is wincing in pain.

Tsunade searches in Yuki's coat pockets. She takes out a bottle and a kunai. She then cuts Yuki's wrist.

Some blood falls on the floor.

It is black.

Tsunade opens the bottle and pours a little of the strange, silver coloured liquid on the bleeding wound.

Yuki cries out of pain and clutches the bed's sheet with her other hand.

"There…" says Tsunade, shutting the bottle with its cap. "Just on time. A few more minutes and it would have been too late."

"Too late? What would have happened?" I ask, worried.

Tsunade looks at me tenderly. "She is not human, Sasuke. She is…" She sighs. "She is the second most powerful werewolf of the world. A few more minutes and she would have transformed and killed us all. I bet you didn't expect her secret to be so dark. And this liquid…" says Tsunade, showing me the bottle. "…is made of silver, viper venom and Yuki's blood."

"How can you be so sure of that?" asks Naruto, as shocked as me.

"She brought a book with her the first time she came, some years ago, and wanted us to put it in the library since she travelled and it was not of any use for her anymore. It was a big manuscript that talked about everything on werewolves. I read it. Now we should let her rest. It's more painful for her than it has been for Naruto."

We exited the room, leaving the wincing Yuki alone.

End of the eighth chapter! I hope you liked it at least a little…

Sasuke: Get off my back! The chapter is finished!

Yuki: (gets up) There. You happy?

Sasuke: (gets up) Yes.

Naruto: What now?

Sasuke: (evil smile) I'm going to make Yuki pay for sitting on my back for two weeks!

Yuki: Shit! (exits the room, running)

Sasuke: (chase after Yuki and exits the room)

Naruto: Don't leave me alone with the writer! (exits the room)

Now that I'm alone, I can give you a Bonus Scene of the story to compensate for my long absence. It is in my point of view.

Yuki was dreaming. She knew she was. It wasn't a surprise. She liked to be in her dreams, free of all the worries of the real world. She was sitting on the roof of the Uchiha mansion with a flower in her hands.

"The pain is gone, when I dream. And my heart… I can access to it and understand it fully, here." She smiles sadly, listening to the echo of her own voice in the nothing of her dream. "And him…" She looks intensely at the flower. "Tsunade told him. I know it. Because he was there when she saved me. Do you think he feels the same way I do?"

No answer. She smiles to herself.

"Tell me, my friend."

She takes off a petal.

"He loves me…"

She takes off another petal.

"…he loves me not…"

It was like a game she played more than once before. Asking a question to the flower…

"…he loves me…"

…and stripping the flower to its last petal to know the answer.

"…he loves me not…"

Even though she already asked it to the flower…

"…he loves me…"

…her soul always asks for the other answer coming from the plant.

"…he loves me not…"

But despite the desperate cries of her soul…

"…he loves me…"

…she always gets the same answer:

"…he loves me not." says Yuki, taking off the last petal. "I guess the blond boy already owns his heart. I'll have to ask him at the right moment." She sighs, looking in the distance. "Sasuke…"

Don't tell Sasuke nor Naruto about this. And Yuki neither. Because if any of you do, I will be in big trouble. And if I am in big trouble with these three, I'm not sure I'm going to be able to put the next chapter if they learn about this. So please, don't tell them.

A cookie if you review. But if you tell any of the three about the Bonus Scene, you won't have a cookie, you'll own me one.I accept all the kinds of review.

Oh! And those who loved the chapter four will love the next chapter, too.
