"I'm serious, Trisha isn't ANYWHERE in Konoha!" Naruto frantically told Tsunade. She nodded.
"Alright, it's been a week, and you still can't find her. Have you even thought of what might have happened to her?" Tsunade asked.
"Maybe she was captured." Sakura suggested.
"By who though?!" Naruto shouted. His girlfriend was missing; it explains his anger.
"Possibly Orochimaru." Sai said. Yamato nodded. "There have been reports of seeing a mysterious person outside of Konoha late at night."
"That would explain the extra secruity outside of the Village, huh?" Sakura asked.
"Yes." Tsunade said. "Sai, what time of night has this mysterious person been spotted?"
"Between six o'clock and nine o'clock at night, Lady Tsunade. And there has been no more reports of the person since Trisha disappeared." Sai replied.
"Naruto, what time did Trisha head home that one night?" Tsunade asked him.
"Around seven." Naruto said, his fists balled. "DANG IT!" He slammed his right fist into the wall, going thru it. "That's it. I'm going to look for her." Naruto turned for the door, being stopped by Sakura, who grabbed ahold of his jacket, causing him to be walking in place. "LET GO!"
"Naruto, you know you won't be able to take down Orochimaru, even if he does have Trisha." Sakura stated.
"She's right Naruto. The best we can do for now is hope that she escapes, if he does have her, that is." Tsunade said.
"MY girlfriend, might be with a psychopathic snake-man that could kill her, and NONE of you care!" Naruto shouted. "It's not like any of you had something more with her! You don't know what it's like to be with out her!"
Everyone was silent.

Trisha stretched her body out on the bed, sighing. She heard her stomach grumble. Sasuke wasn't in the room at the moment, and she was starving. She got up and walked over to the door, pulling on the handle multiple times. She put her foot on the door and tried to rip the handle off when the lock on the door clicked, and Trisha shot backwards so fast that the door slammed shut on the person that was trying to open it. "Sorry!" she yelled, flying back over to the door.
The person who was trying to open the door was Sasuke, of course. Trisha laughed nervously, putting her left hand behind her head. Sasuke kept his expression calm.
"You're hungry." Sasuke said. It wasn't a question. Trisha shook her head yes anyway. "Follow me." This time he didn't bother to cuff her.
They walked down the multiple corridors in this cement prison, into the dining hall. Sasuke opened the door, only putting his head thru. He looked around quickly, then opening the door all of the way. She walked in and he followed, closing the door silently behind them.
"Um..." Trisha started. Sasuke pointed to the table which was covered in food still. "Okay..." She sighed and grabbed a few pieces of fruit. Two banana's, an apple, and some grapes she thought would satisfiy her hunger for now. She never really ate a lot, which showed on her slim, curvy figure. Training also helped. She scarfed her food down quickly, and watched Sasuke for a moment.
Sasuke headed for the door, with Trisha now trailing behind him. 'When will I ever get back to the Leaf?' She thought, seeing images of Naruto and all of her friends in Konoha. 'At least on the bright side, I won't have to be a Jonin now!' Trying to throw herself into an amusment NEVER worked, especially this time.
Trisha, lost in thought, slammed into Sasuke's back. She resisted the urge to shout out in pain.
"Why the heck did you stop?!" She bellowed.
"Be quiet." Sasuke ordered calmly. She rolled her eyes and growled, doing as she was told like a little puppy. The faint tapping of foot steps was becoming more noticable. Coming from down the hall, was of course the last person Trisha wanted to see. Kabuto. Trisha moaned quietly and watched him strafe down the hall, eye-balling her.
"Lord Sasuke." Kabuto called.
"Hm?" Sasuke had kept a straight face, but was alert, in case Kabuto had tried to do something he knows he would have regretted.
"May I borrow Trisha for a minute or two?" He asked. Trisha's eyes widened and she gulped.
"For what?" Sasuke questioned.
"I need someone to fix my room up." Kabuto replied with a smile.
'LIAR!' Trisha shouted in thought.
"Why can't you do that your-" Trisha started. Sasuke put a hand up, silencing her. "Ugh..."
"You may." Sasuke finally said, after about a minute of silence.
'Say WHAT?!' Her bad half shouted in her head. The good half was speechless, and the real Trisha was probably about to scream.
'Wait, think this thru, Trisha! Sasuke is probably seeing if you we're lying about Kabuto trying to kiss you!' Her good half suggested. Trisha was still speechless. Mentally, both halves of her smacked her across the face. 'GET AHOLD OF YOURSELF!'
"Thank-you, Lord Sasuke." Kabuto said.
"Yeah, THANK-YOU, Lord Sasuke." Trisha gritted her teeth and glared at Sasuke. Sasuke glanced at her, it looked like the corner of his mouth slanted upward. She couldn't tell if she was seeing things or not. He turned his attention back to Kabuto.
'What the heck is he planning? BOTH of them...?' She thought.
Trisha took a step foward, and glanced back at Sasuke, who nodded. She sighed and walked next to Kabuto.
They headed in the direction of Kabuto's room, Trisha assumed. He opened the door and ushered her in. Trisha rolled her eyes and stepped into his room, which was not-so-surprisingly, clean. Kabuto shut the door and locked it. Trisha gulped.
'I'm ready, try something Kabuto...' she thought, standing her ground.
'YEAH! YOU GET 'EM GIRL!' Her good half shouted. Trisha jaw dropped mentally. Her bad half shook her head.
'You see, this is the reason she side's with me more...' Her bad half sighed. Trisha looked at her bad half.
'Yeah, I like you better.' She said with a mental smile, looking at her bad half.
"Alright, spill it Kabuto, what do you want?" Trisha said, crossing her arms.
"You, of course." Kabuto replied, with that same seductive tone her used last time on her.
"Try ANYTHING, and I'm going to scream at the top of my lungs for Sasuke to come." she retorted.
"Oh what, so he'll think that you were lying to him more than you already were?" He countered, taking a few steps toward her.
"I wasn't lying." Trisha said, backing up some. "You are the one who was." Kabuto crept closer to her. "I swear I'll scream Kabuto, just try it." Trisha back up so far that she hit the wall.
"I will..." He said. He pushed her into the wall. Trisha gulped. She slammed him in the gut, Kabuto feeling no effect from it. Trisha tried to duck out of the way, but he kept a grip on her.
'HIT HIM!!!' Both halves shouted in her head. Kabuto was about five centimeters away from her face. Trisha quickly scanned the room, pursing her lips.
"Back... OFF!" Trisha kicked him right in the worst place to get hit for a guy. Kabuto fell to the floor. As Trisha tried to run away, with what strength Kabuto had, he latched onto her right ankle, preventing her from moving. "Urgh... LET GO!" Kabuto pulled her to the floor with him. He made a hand sign. "Oh no your-" Kabuto's hand quickly rapped her across the face, and she shut up. He slammed a kunai into the palm of her right hand out of nowhere. Trisha winced, pulling the kunai out and throwing to to the ground. Kabuto cuffed her ankles and wrists. "I'm going to scream unless you let me go."
"I'm not planning on it, my beautiful little-" Kabuto started.
"Shut up." Trisha said growled.
"Why should I?" Kabuto said with a smirk, obviously recovered from the hit. He decided that he was allowed to touch her cheek, which was covered by the high collar on her shirt. Trisha was finally sick of this.
"SAS-" She tried to scream Sasuke's name, but Kabuto covered her mouth. She mumbled the words, 'Let go!' But Kabuto wasn't going to listen, of course. She noticed that there was foot steps coming down the hall. Kabuto probably couldn't hear them because of the fuss Trisha started making. "Help!" She muttered, her scream being blocked out.
"Well now Trisha, why don't I just..." Kabuto leaned in closer to her face once more, keeping his hand over Trisha's mouth. He removed his hand quickly, and kissed her. Trisha sat there with her eyes frozen open as he kissed her.
The door to Kabuto's room opened quietly as he still kissed her. Trisha blinked once, and the pressure on her lips quickly recceded, with a loud noise following.
"...Are you okay...?" A voice asked. Trisha snapped back into reality, the image of the figure in front of her becoming clearer. Sasuke. He was a few inches away form her face, hopefully not intending on repeating what Kabuto just did to her. Trisha stared into his onyx black eyes, before her own watered up. She broke out crying. She put her knees up to her chest and threw her hands over her head, laying her head down on her knees. She cried quietly. Sasuke must have removed her chakra cuffs when she was in a transe.
"You..." she took a breathe, practically hyperventilating as she talked. "You... believe... what I said before... right?" She asked, her head still in her arms.
"Yes, I do." He replied, some sympathy showing in his voice. "Orochimaru will hear of this incident. He does not allowed relationships." Trisha half nodded, trying to look up at him. Sasuke glanced down at her, sighing. Her face was beet red, with tears slowly streaming down it. "Kabuto will surely get punished for his actions."
"Al... alright..." Trisha murmmered.

"You never anwsered my question." Sasuke said. "Are you okay?"
"You care?" Trisha questioned. Sasuke wasn't surprised at the harshness in her voice after what Kabuto had just done to her. She was a mess. Her hair was knotted, she had a few brusies on her arms, and the cut on her cheek was reopened.
"Hn." Sasuke mumbled. "Come. I'll take you back to my room." He held his hand out, not looking at her. She glanced at his hand, going to grab it with her right hand. Sasuke jerked his away quickly, only to snatch her wrist and yank her upright. Trisha flew up. Sasuke scanned the floor quickly, seeing the bloody kunai laying on the floor. "He stabbed you." He didn't say it as a question. She nodded. "Where'd the l-little... ugh... w-where'd he go?" Trisha studdered, trying to get over the crying.
"You didn't see what happened, I take it." Sasuke said, looking off in another direction.
"I blanked out." Trisha admitted. "You b-beat the heck outta Kabuto...?"
"I would say so." He replied. "He ran off once again." He shrugged his shoulders, letting go of her wrist.
Sasuke started for the door. Trisha followed, clutching onto her bleeding hand.
After a minute of walking or so, they were back at his room. Sasuke opened the door and let her in. He shut it behind them.
"Go wash your hand off. Their will be some bandages underneth the sink you can use to wrap it up." She nodded, and walked into the bathroom.

Trisha turned the faucet handle, and water came out hot, and threw her hand under it. The pain didn't bother her at all. She glanced up from the sink and peered out of the bathroom to see Sasuke fumbling around with his weapon collection. She gulped and went back to washing her hand off. 'That still freaks me out... that many weapons...' She thought with a slight chuckle.
Trisha shut the faucet off, going straight under the sink before the bleeding continued. She reached in, grabbing the adhesive bandages and a cloth. She held her hand tightly with the cloth, making sure her hand was dry and the bleeding didn't continue. She quickly dryed the rest of her hand off and wrapped the bandages around it.
She slowly walked out of the bathroom, closing the door sliently behind her. Sasuke seemed to have left without her noticing. Out of curiousity, she walked over to the door to see if he locked it. Trisha jiggled the handle. 'I should've figured.' She thought, rolling her eyes around. 'Locked.'
Walking over to her bed, she heard the lock on the door click, and the door opened. She turned to glance at who walked in; her eye's widened.
"Are you okay, my dear?" Orochimaru asked
"I guess so, my Lord." She replied. "I was wondering... Kabuto will-"
"-get severely punished for what he has done to you today." He interupted. Trisha nodded. "And about your training session yesterday... Sasuke said you had done quite exceptionally without the use of chakra." He smirked.
"I know. I never really use my chakra, anyway." Trisha admitted, sitting down on her bed.
"That's interesting to learn, my dear." She flinched a bit. The calling her, 'my dear' didn't sit right with her, much as the saying, 'I love you' thing didn't. "I thought that the Hikunara clan based most of their skills off of their chakra."
"They did. I just never use mine, unless I'm on a mission." She was starting to feel like she was giving him too much information.
"Well, I must be going; I'm sure you're very tired. If you need anything don't hesitate to tell your 'master' about it." He said 'master' in a bit of a seductive tone. Trisha paused for a minute to think while he walked out of the room, closing the door behind him.
'How did he get in here?!' She ignored her own question. 'I do NOT like Sasuke, and if the 'Lord' is implying certian things, I'm sure I will be breaking out of here in no time.' Trisha thought. 'But I don't think that the 'Lord' would do that... would he?' She shrugged it off. She wasn't tired at all, but climbed into bed anyway, pulling a blanket over her.
The door silently opened again, and this time it was Sasuke. She sighed in relief. She felt a bit safer when he was around then when she was around Naruto. Sasuke took one quick glance at her, and she looked at him for a bit. Sasuke turned his head away from her, and walked into the bathroom after taking some form of night wear from his dresser. He turned the water in the shower on after shuting the door and locking it tight.
Trisha sighed, and turned over on her side. 'I wonder what's gonna happen tomorrow?' She thought, closing her eyes tight, drifting off into a deep sleep.
