Chapter Four: Dreams are more powerful then you think
-xxx-
Trisha rolled over in her bed, a restless night, once again. 'I swear, if I see Kabuto again... I'm gonna beat the heck outta him myself...' She thought, then remembering the chakra cuffs embedded into her skin, preventing her from doing anything to break out of here. She squinted her eyes, then opening them to look at the clock. 5:03. she closed her eyes and rolled back over, too tired to even get up.
Sasuke had already left the room a few hours ago. She knew this because she had woken up at 3:14 and watched him get up and sneak out of the room, trying not to make a sound. She completely ignored him, and tried to go back to sleep, which wasn't until 4:10. Joy. -_-
She had been waking up every hour, and it was starting to get on her nerves. But now, she was drifting off into a dream.
'Trisha.... where are you?' A familiar voice asked.
'Naruto... I'm with Orochimaru... Come help me!' I said.
'How can I hear you?' He asked. I shrugged. We were both engulfed in a black abyss, only being able to see each other. It was like we were walking on air. I stared into those deep sapphire blue eyes of his that I fell in love with at first sight. Likewise, he stared into my blood red yet calming eyes, and there was a long silence.
'I think it's because of the close bond we have... yet... I was... asleep... so... am I... dreaming?' I asked as he slowly took three steps toward me. He cupped his right hand around my cheek and stared into my eyes before laying our first real kiss lightly on my lips.
'Do you think you're dreaming now?' Naruto asked slowly, letting his arm fall to his side. I couldn't control myself after that, and broke down crying. He comfortingly hugged me, and quickly gave me another kiss on the cheek. 'I love you Trisha. Everything will be okay... We'll bring you and Sasuke back, and we'll destroy Orochimaru...'
'..A-and Kabuto too...' I said through my sobs. He delicately grabbed my shoulders and made me face him, then wiping away my tears.
'What did he do to you?' He asked.
'He s-slapped me f-first... a while later he... k-kissed me... I'm worried... he m-might...' A glint of red showed in Naruto eyes. He was pissed now.
'I'll kill him for doing that to you... don't worry Trisha... Are you with Sasuke right now? And have you mentioned anything to him about me?' He was trying to calm down and not show any anger for a short while.
'I'm his a-apprentice, I believe... I have these w-weird chakra cuffs on me, and I can't d-do anything... And I told S-Sasuke that you were my b-boyfriend, no h-harm done, I g-guess...' I said, trying to stop crying a bit.
'Has he done anything to you?' I shook my head.
'He's the only one that hasn't done anything yet.' I said, wiping my face off again. 'And Orochimaru wants me for something, but I haven't figured out what that something is yet... I'm really getting annoyed with everything going on here... please, come save me...' He hugged me tightly, reassuringly.
'I will do everything in my power to get you to be back with us in Konoha.' Naruto said, his eyes filled with hope. 'I'll try to mention everything to Lady Tsunade that you told me... I love you... good bye...'
He slowly released the last good bye hug he had given me. I took a few steps toward him, reaching my hand out as his bright smile faded into the abyss of my mind.

"NO!!! WAIT!!! DON'T LEAVE YET!!! PLEASE!!!" Trisha shouted, flailing around in her bed, eyes glued shut. Sasuke had his hands tightly wrapped around her wrists, trying to keep her from hitting him or Orochimaru.
"Trisha, my dear, calm down. It was just a dream." Orochimaru said.
"COME BACK!!! DON'T LEAVE ME HERE!!!" She shouted, flailing around even more.
"Release her, please." Orochimaru said, glancing at Sasuke. He did as told, except backed up to prevent himself from getting hit. "Can you go to my room and get the sedative I prepared in case something like this occurred?" Kabuto nodded and walked off.

Naruto's eyes shot open as he awoke from the dream. He had passed out on the kitchen table last night, with pictures sprawled out everywhere of him and Trisha, including the whole photo album. So many memories... just from three years. There was pictures of when the whole group was at the beach, and a few from Christmas and Halloween, or just random pictures they had taken when a camera was handy. And the one that stuck out the most was the one of him, Trisha, Sakura, and Sasuke in it that Kakashi had taken after he bugged him to a million times. This was taken the day before Sasuke had left.
Naruto, on the far left, had his arm slung around Trisha's shoulders, kissing her on the cheek, but with a playful smile on his face. Trisha was of course, blushing and had her lips pursed, but the corners of her mouth we turned up, like she was about to burst out laughing. Sakura, standing next to Trisha, was hugging Sasuke's right arm, who looked as annoyed as ever.
Naruto stared at it for a while... then carefully laid the picture back down into the photo album.
"It was just a dream..." He told himself, sadly. "Just... a dream..." He repeated. "DAMNIT!" He slammed his fists down on the table, trying not to snap it in half.
A soft knock arose from his front door, and he got up to see who it was.
"It's Sakura." She said just before he opened the door.
"Hey... what's up?"
"Tsunade wants you to see her immediately." He nodded and rushed upstairs quickly to brush his teeth and change his clothes.

"Sasuke-kun, you know very well that I don't allow relationships, correct?" Orochimaru said.
"Hn." He said, glancing at Trisha. A tear had run down her cheek, and her face was a light shade of pink.
"Make sure you break the bond between her and the Kyuubi child."
"How do you expect Lord Sasuke to do that?" Kabuto said, coming into the room, holding a vile filled with a deep emerald green liquid in it.
"I believe he knows exactly what I expect him to do." Orochimaru said in a seductive tone.
Seductive? Yeah, not a good sign.
"Although, I thought you said no relationships." Kabuto questioned.

"There are exceptions."

Sasuke went through all of this mentally. Orochimaru wanted him to get closer to Trisha, even though she doesn't want anything to do with either Kabuto or him. Sasuke was the one holding her captive, but, if it was his choice, he wouldn't even have thought to bring her here in the first place.
He barely even knew she existed.
"What do we exactly need her for?" Sasuke asked.
"Oh Sasuke-kun, you'll figure that out in a while." Orochimaru said, strafing out of the room. but stopping in the doorway. "Kabuto, give her the sedative now, if you will." Then he walked out.
"Yes, my Lord." Said the obedient little puppy.
The whole 'Yes, my Lord' thing was getting on his nerves, but he didn't show it. He had completely stripped himself of emotion when he came here, but then again... Orochimaru now wants him to become closer to the loud mouthed apprentice? And now that practically every time he looks at her he remembers seeing her and Naruto together and how happy they looked.
Not to mention when the cherry blossoms fell onto her she looked as if she had pink hair...
'Get a hold of yourself.' He told himself. 'You never had feelings for Sakura... or anyone.' And in an instant, he was back to reality.
"I'll give her the sedative. You can go back to your room now, Kabuto." Sasuke said, taking the sedative from Kabuto's grasp.
"As you wish, Lord Sasuke." He said, slowly walking out of the room and stopping in the door way as Sasuke spoke.

"Don't call me that. Ever."

Kabuto looked back at Sasuke for a brief moment, then turned, walking out of the door and closing it silently behind him.
Sasuke stared at the liquid for a bit, not knowing whether to give it to her or not.
"Ngh... S-Sasuke...?" Trisha stuttered, squinting her ruby eyes at him.
"Hm?"
"C-can I s-see t-that?" She asked slowly. He handed it to her, and watched her closely as she studied it, eyes still squinted. Slowly, she smelled it. "T-there's something in here... a-and it shouldn't b-be... but... What did Orochimaru tell you it was s-supposed t-to be?"
"A sedative." She paused.
"That's n-not what i-it is... this c-causes memory loss..."
"How would you know?"
"I was with Sakura when s-she was making medicine o-or something... and she said that a certain plant can c-cause m-memory loss... and that it smells like grapes... w-which is weird..." She gave a nervous chuckle. "A-and this smells l-like grape."
Sasuke assumed she knew what she was talking about. He never trusted anything Orochimaru tried to give him; he always dumped it into the sink and said that he drank it.
He nodded at her, taking the 'sedative' from her and going into the bathroom.

"What is it, Grandma Tsunade?" Naruto asked, running into the room, with Sakura trailing behind him.
"We are forming a squad to retrieve Trisha." She said. Naruto glanced toward to side of the room, where Shikamaru, Sai, Kiba (and Akamaru, of course), and Hinata were gathered, smiling widely. Akamaru barked in glee. He glanced back at Sakura, who nodded and smiled, mouthing the words, "Me too."
Naruto beamed, then returned his attention to Tsunade, but not before a huge puff of smoke appeared, engulfing a small portion of the room. Everyone started coughing.
"Sorry I'm late. There was a new issue of Make-Out Paradise that just came out, and well... I just couldn't put it down..." Kakashi said, putting his book down on the desk. "Until now."
Everyone: (Sweat drop) -_-'
"It's a good thing you showed up when you did." Tsunade spoke. "I was just about to send them off with out you."
"I know you would never do that." Kakashi said. Naruto rolled his eyes.
"Can we just go save Trisha please?!" Naruto shouted, impatient as ever. Tsunade nodded and watched Naruto charge for the door, only to be stopped by Sakura grabbing the collar of his jacket.
"You haven't even heard where she is yet." Tsunade said, then paused.
"Where?!"
"Only you know." Tsunade said. "Where did she say she was last night in your dream?"
"...how did you know about that...?" But Sakura answered that for him.
"She's the Hokage, she just... knows."
Okay, now that's what I call creepy...
"She's... with Orochimaru." Naruto spoke quietly as Sakura released him from her grasp.
"As I thought. Did she say exactly where?" Naruto shook his head slowly. "Well... we know that she was taken from the lake in the back streets of Konoha. She accidentally kicked a rock threw someone's window and when the came out they reported seeing her by the lake behind their house."
"Did they see her get taken?"
"I believe so. They were contemplating whether to scold her or not for breaking the window when they saw someone with gray hair and glasses and someone with raven colored spiked hair take her into the forest." Tsunade said.
"So that would mean it's Kabuto and Sasuke that took her." Naruto said. Tsunade nodded. "Okay, we'll search every inch on the Sound if that means finding Trisha!"
"Gosh, Naruto. You sound as determined as Lee was when you two both tried to ask her out at the same time." Sakura said with a chuckle.
"Yeah, but she chose me, didn't she?" Naruto said with a grin.
"I bet it was because of his hair." Kiba said with a smirk. Akamaru barked in agreement.
Everyone, including the very upset Fox-Boy, burst out laughing.

"Is there anything you might need?" Sasuke asked calmly. Trisha shook her head after he handed her the glass of water.
"No thanks, Sasuke." She replied. A thin layer of sweat was covering her face, and every few minutes she would wipe her hand across her face. Not only was she sweating immensely, she looked like she was running a fever. Her normally ghost-white skin color was now a deep shade of pink, but only around her cheeks and nose. And she looked like she would throw up at any minute. "I-I'll be okay I guess..."
"Are you going to tell me what your dream was about?" Trisha froze for a second, about to shake her head no rapidly, but she suppressed it, and gulped.
"Do I have to?" Sasuke shrugged. Trisha bit her lip; Could she trust him? He did capture her and bring her here, and yet... she could tell that was the last thing that he had wanted to do, considering that she probably reminded him too much of his life back in Konoha, even though they only met like, what, twice?
'This is probably the worst thing I could do now, but...' Sasuke sat down on the corner of her bed.
"It was about Naruto. I think I sort of... communicated with him via dream." She spoke softly. Sasuke's eyes narrowed at her, and she continued talking. "I told him that I was with Orochimaru... you and Kabuto... and that Four eyes kissed me. Naruto-kun got pissed." She swore she saw Sasuke flinch at the kun part, but he didn't, as far as she could tell, that is Sasuke nodded his head, and stood up.
"Well I-"
"Please don't say anything to Orochimaru!!! It just might have been a dream!!!" Trisha blurted out, holding her head and her face turning a puke-green color. Sasuke quickly grabbed a sliver bowl that Orochimaru had brought in just in case, and she puked her guts out into the bowl.

(A/N): Sorry it took me so long to update. I've been occupying my time with finals for school and reading the House of Night series. Yay for Erik Night! Anyway, sorry again for taking like 5 months to update a chapter. I was at a standstill with it and got an idea from watching something the other day which I completely forgot what it was. So yeah. Now I'm at a standstill with Konoha High: Blood and Tears, which I might delete to do some major editing on. Okay... so yeah.... BYE!
