Chapter Six: Goodnight

-xxx-

"Ngh..." Trisha's eyes squinted open, and she tilted her head toward Sasuke, who was laying down on his bed, deep in thought, but awake. Instead of his normal kimono top, he was wearing a white zip-up short sleeve shirt with a high collar. "S-Sasuke...?" He slowly looked up at her. "W-what h-happened?"

"You fainted."

"O-Oh..." She looked at her left hand and saw that it was bandaged. She glanced over at the night stand beside the table, and there was a glass of red wine on it. She really didn't like wine... or blood, but if she really was turning into a vampyre...

Trisha tried sitting up, feeling a bit lightheaded, but managed to do it without injury. She picked up the glass of wine and took a sip of it. She immediately tasted the blood. It wasn't like those times when you get a cut on your finger and put it in your mouth (which is odd) to stop the bleeding, and it tastes like iron. No, this was more of a delicacy, like chocolate. Well, it didn't taste like chocolate, but... yeah, you get the point.

She felt Sasuke's eyes on her the whole time she was drinking. For the first real time drinking blood... it tasted really good.

"Are you-" He paused, and she stopped drinking. She glanced at him.

"Feeling better? Yeah." Trisha finished. Sasuke nodded, looking away. "I would be a lot better though if I didn't think that I was drinking your blood." She took one last gulp of the wine, setting the glass back down on the nightstand.

"You don't seem like it."

"I know. I just... if I really am turning into a vampyre... I might as well..." Trisha started.

"I get it."

After that, there was a long silence. Trisha didn't really want to start a conversation with him but there was nothing else to do, so... she started asking him questions.

"Why did you leave the village to come here?"

"I have to kill my brother. I'm sure Naruto mentioned that to you."

"That's not what I meant..." She said, shaking her head. "You seemed a lot happier at the Konoha than you are here."

"Happiness is a small price to pay for power."

"No, Sasuke. It's not. You should've stayed and-"

"You don't know what I went through." His voice was harsh, but he didn't throw the words at her.

"Sasuke..." Trisha stood up and walked over to his bed and sat down cross legged next to him. "I know exactly what you went through. Being the last one in your clan left alive. The Akatsuki destroyed everyone I knew and loved."

"My brother killed my whole clan... no one that was related to you killed yours."

"You have me there, but... isn't your brother in the Akatsuki?" Trisha crossed her arms. Sasuke realized what she meant.

"I'm... sorry." He actually sounded upset, not showing it too much though.

"What are you sorry for? That your brother helped destroy my clan? Don't worry about it." She smiled. "It's not like you killed them."

"What about revenge? Don't you want to kill everyone in the Akatsuki?"

"Yeah, but I've put my revenge aside. True, I hate the Akatsuki, especially Pein, the leader. But I want to have a life, whether I'm alone in it or not."

"How can you live like that...? Alone... No one to talk to... Trisha, you don't understand..."

"Maybe I don't, but if you looked at everything from a different perspective, maybe you would see life differently." She went to get off of his bed when he grabbed her wrist, pulling her back down next to him. "What?"

"Kabuto and Orochimaru are coming down the hall." Trisha's eyes widened.

"So... what do you mean?"

"It's late." His voice was a bit uneasy, then she realized what he meant.

"Ohhhhhh... Yeah, so, what do you think we should do?" Trisha said, just as uneasy as Sasuke.

"Well, you know what they want us to do,...but do you want to? I would understand if you wanted to wait. To be honest I would like to wait too." Sasuke, actual spoke calmly.

Something that Trisha at the moment was unable to do. Right now she was nervous as heck. She knew that she was a good friend (I guess) to Sasuke... but could she really give up that easily on Naruto? Sure she knew that she the relationship could probably never last with her being locked up in this place. She knew for a fact that Naruto would not be happy either way. One way being that she does end up with Sasuke and the other her just staying here forever and still being with Naruto. It wasn't really her choice, but she couldn't do anything about it. She was stuck here.

With that thought Trisha decided that the next chance that she got to talk with Naruto she would have to break up with him... not that she wanted to, but if it was a matter of staying alive or dieing, she had too. She was going to be with Sasuke... it was the only way... for now.

Trisha stared blankly at Sasuke for no more than a second before she started to take her shirt off. Sasuke stared at her.

"What are you doing?" He whispered.

"Making this look real." she replied, tossing her shirt onto the floor. "Take that rope thing around your waist off and your shirt off." Sasuke did as said, but was hesitating a bit. The foot steps coming down that hall got louder, until they could hear the door being fumbled with so it could be opened. Trisha's breath stopped for a moment. She immediately grabbed Sasuke and threw him on top of her. He paused. If Orochimaru wanted them to be together, he had to do this.

The door was fumbled with a bit more, and then it slowly opened. Orochimaru and Kabuto walked in. She could feel his hot breath on her lips as he gently rested his on hers. Trisha, surprised and shocked, closed her eyes slowly and gave into his kiss. His lips were soft and warm and fit with hers like a puzzle piece. She wanted to deepen it so bad but was so afraid at the same time. So she didn't get the chance to, and as if reading her mind, Sasuke parted their lips.

Sasuke moved down to her neck, and stopped kissing her. "Get out." He growled against her neck.

"My my. I didn't think that either of you would of done a thing." Orochimaru said with a smirk. Trisha kept her mouth shut.

"I said. Get OUT!" Sasuke growled again, picking his head up to glare at them. Kabuto walked around to the bed Trisha had been sleeping on and folded it up (It was a piece of scrap metal, after all), then carrying it out of the room.

"As you wish." Orochimaru said. "I assume your won't be needing that," -he pointed at the bed Kabuto took out of the room- "Goodbye." And he disappeared, closing the door and locking it behind him.

Sasuke rolled off of Trisha, who started hyperventilating. "D-damn, you're heavy." Trisha took a moment to collect herself from what happened, then grabbing her shirt from the floor and putting it back on.

"Hn." She couldn't understand whether he was happy, sad... or just plain annoyed.

"Okay, I'm sleeping on the floor." Trisha said, ignoring Sasuke, and getting off of the bed.

"Why?"

"I'm pretty s-sure you don't want me t-to be sleeping in y-your bed, so I'll sleep o-on the floor."

"I don't care whether you sleep on the floor or not, but Orochimaru might-" She cut him off. She usually talked a lot when she was nervous, and of course, after that little fiasco, not only was her pale face now a bright red, but her hands were shaking and she kept stuttering.

"Come back? Y-yeah... that's true..." She trailed off. "Fine. I'll s-sleep in the same bed w-with you, but I'm not d-doing anything else." He nodded.

"Agreed."

Later that night...

Sasuke couldn't sleep, but Trisha had quickly passed out. He stared at her ivory colored face the whole time, just thinking. He couldn't understand why he had kissed her, or why he couldn't have just made it look like they were kissing or trying to further. Sasuke had stripped himself of all emotions, but thanks to her, she was reminding him of all the good times he had had with Naruto and Sakura in Konoha, and how good his life had been then. But instead, he had chosen to go to Orochimaru to become stronger. What was it about Trisha that had made him start having emotions again? Her personality? The way that she wasn't drooling all over him? Not to mention that she was dating Naruto, and he had just kissed her. If Sasuke ever saw Naruto again, he knew Naruto would try to kill him for it.

"S-Sasuke... why a-are you awake?" Trisha stuttered, her eyes half-moons.

"Thinking." He replied. "Why are you?"

"Nightmare." She said.

"Care to explain?"

"I'll tell you in the morning." She replied. There was a pause, and Sasuke put his hands behind his head and stared at the ceiling.

".........Naruto?" Sasuke asked, closing his eyes.

Trisha nodded. "I think I talked to him again... he's... pissed..."

"What did you tell him exactly?"

"I... kissed you... he... hates me now..." Trisha replied, a tear rolling down her cheek. She sat up and leaned against the wooden back-board of the bed. Sasuke eyes narrowed, and he looked at her.

"Why?"

"B-Because... it was you..." Trisha said, pulling her legs up to her chest. "I'm sure you would understand, w-with the c-competition you two were always in." She paused. "But... I don't know what to do..." She started crying a bit more.

"You didn't have to tell him. And it's not like we are going to do that again."

"You don't understand, Sasuke. Naruto asked why his heart was hurting so much, suddenly he felt like I had just tried to kill him..." Trisha looked down. "I... had to tell him something... I don't want to hurt him again... please..." She was officially pleading.

Sasuke sighed, and sat up. "I don't know what to do."

"You escaped from Konoha with out an incident... why can't you from here?" She mumbled.

"It's not that easy, Trisha." He replied.

"I don't care what I have to do, just help me get out of here!" She half-shouted. "Please." Sasuke mentally rolled his eyes... he really didn't want to talk about this this late at night, and not to mention she was crying, so she was making this even more difficult than it should've been.

"Okay." Her ruby eyes gleamed. "I'll see what I can do."

"...Th-thank-you, Sasuke." Trisha put her arms out like she was about to hug him, but then hid it by pretending to stretch her arms out. "Uh... thanks." She repeated.

"Hn." Sasuke said, rolling over on his side, opposite of Trisha. She slid back under the covers and rolled over opposite of him.

"Goodnight Sasuke."

"Goodnight." He replied, closing his onyx eyes.
