Chapter Seven: Where are you going?

-xxx-

When Trisha woke up, Sasuke was, of course, not there. But, he had left her some fruit and two glasses of wine with his blood in them.

Her eyes were sort of puffy when she walked into the bathroom to brush her teeth. It was from the little bit of crying she did last night. The door to the bedroom was opened, and Sasuke came in. Trisha was just in the middle of brushing her teeth, so no big deal.

"Do you remember you had to go through a few evaluations?" Sasuke said. Trisha glanced at him and nodded. "You don't have to anymore." She pulled her hair back and spit into the sink, and laid the toothbrush on the counter after washing it off.

"Cool." She mumbled under her breath.

"Did you sleep well?" Sasuke asked. Trisha shrugged.

"Okay, I guess..." She said. There was an extremely long pause, then Sasuke spoke.

"Come with me." Sasuke walked out of the room. Trisha sighed and followed after him, then shutting the door.

After a minute of walking, Sasuke grabbed Trisha's hand. She gave him a confused look, then remembered the little, 'act' they put on last night. Yeah, great. Next time she talked to Naruto he's probably going to say that she's cheating on him with Sasuke! 'Oi vey this can't get any worse, can it?!' … 'Okay, I'll admit it, he was a good kisser, but I don't love him, I love Naruto!'

"Sasuke, where are we going?" Trisha asked. Sasuke didn't say anything. He was actually walking a bit slower than usual and he had dark circles under his eyes. "And did you get any sleep last night?"

"No." Sasuke said. "And we're going outside."

"To the area where you took me to train before?"

"Somewhere else." Sasuke replied, sounding as tired as ever.

"Okay." She replied. They walked for a little while longer, before Trisha saw an open field filled with armed ninja, plus Orochimaru in the middle of them. Sasuke stopped in the archway, turning to her.

"Stay here. Don't look outside." He said, not looking at her. He casually walked outside, leaving Trisha there. Trisha leaned against the wall, peaking around the archway to see what was going to happen.

"Trisha, my dear, feel free to come out here." Orochimaru said. Trisha ducked behind the wall, then sighed, coming out from behind the archway. Sasuke's gaze was on her the whole time she walked out there.

When she finally reached Orochimaru and Sasuke, she just stood there for a moment. Sasuke wrapped his left arm around her waist pulling her close to him. Orochimaru just smirked.

"I'm sure you'll enjoy watching Sasuke-kun train today, won't you?" Orochimaru asked.

"I'd rather her not." Sasuke said. Trisha leaned her head on his shoulder and snuggled against him. 'This should be Naruto... not Sasuke... ' She kept saying that over and over in her head.

"Why not? She should know what the extent of your power is." Orochimaru said. Sasuke sighed a bit.

"Fine." Sasuke released his arm from me. "Trisha, please stay back." He said, his voice a bit uneasy, but she could tell it was all just an act. 'Hmph, like he REALLY cares about me! Not that it matters.' She thought.

"Okay Sasuke-kun." Trisha said, trying to make their little charade seem real. She noticed that Sasuke flinched and turned his back. She had a feeling he hadn't heard someone call him that for a while, beside Orochimaru, that is.

Sasuke drew his sword, then all of the men in the field fell to the ground.

Trisha's eyes went wide as Sasuke turned back to her. She stared at the blood that saturated the ground. Trisha stood there frozen. She couldn't believe he had just done that. She had never seen someone so strong and quick as he was... he was even faster than her.

"You'll never be able to kill Itachi if you can't kill your own emotions." Orochimaru said. Sasuke slowly rose up.

"I won't show him any mercy... even if he gets on his knees and begs." Sasuke replied. He picked his sword up from the ground, and put it back in it's sheath. He started walking away, leaving me there partially stunned. He turned around. "Trisha, come." She snapped out of her trance and scurried behind him. He wrapped his arm around her waist and they walked back to his room together in silence... for the most part.

"Sasuke... I-" She started.

"I didn't kill them." Sasuke cut her off.

"I know but-"

"We're not talking about it anymore." He stated firmly.

".........okay." She mumbled.

"Hn."

"Hey Naruto, are you okay?" Sakura asked, a hand on his shoulder. He had been sitting by a tree, alone and away from the group, for the past 10 minutes on their break.

"I'm fine." He growled.

"You don't sound like it. Tell me what happened." Sakura said, sitting down next to him.

"...fine..." Naruto mumbled. "I've been talking to Trisha... telepathy wise." Sakura's eyes widened. "I think I can talk to her because of the bond we have... but..." Naruto's eyes narrowed and he looked down. "...she said she had to kiss Sasuke... or she didn't know what Orochimaru might do to her... He wants them to be together."

"Did she say why?" Sakura asked.

"I never asked her... I just got really pissed off and she was crying... then I woke up." Naruto put his head in his hands. "I think she's still..." Naruto coughed for a moment. "I think that they're together... I can tell... my..."

"A gut feeling?" Sakura asked. Naruto nodded.

"Yeah. What... what should I do?"

"Naruto, I've never seen Trisha look at another guy the way she looks at you. If Orochimaru is making them do this, it's probably against Trisha's own will." Sakura said. "And besides, do you think Sasuke would ever fall in love? Really." Naruto chuckled slightly.

"I don't know. Who knows what he thinks... he might really be in love with her for all we know." Naruto said, sadly.

"Oh Naruto, knock it off. You know Trisha loves you. You shouldn't worry. If she has to pretend to flirt with Sasuke a little bit to stay alive, you should be happy about that. We'll get her back. Trust me."

"...okay. Thanks Sakura." Naruto mumbled.

"No problem Naruto." Sakura said. "But I have one quick question."

"What?"

"Can you talk to her whenever you want?" Naruto shrugged.

"It's only really been when we think about each other or when we're asleep." Sakura thought for a moment.

"Why don't you try to talk to her now?" She suggested. Naruto's eyes widened.

"What?"

"Try to talk to her." Naruto took a deep breath.

'Trisha... are you there? Can you hear me?'

-xxx-

Trisha sat on Sasuke's bed, drinking a glass of wine. Sasuke was on the other side of bed, sound asleep. The whole time, she was thinking about Naruto. He was so angry at her... she could never stand her friends (Or boyfriend, for that matter) being mad at her. She had no clue as to what she should do. She thought that breaking up with Naruto would solve a few problems, but if she did, it would just cause more. Sasuke had to do something to get her out of here, or her whole relationship with Naruto was over.

"Ngh... hm..." Sasuke rolled over and faced her in his sleep. Trisha noticed his eyes were squinted, and he had a thin layer of sweat on his face. 'He must be having a nightmare...' She stared at his face for a minute, waiting to see what was going to happen. His expression calmed at bit, but she could tell he was still trapped in the nightmare. Trisha kind of felt bad for him.

Trisha... are you there? Can you hear me?

'Naruto?'

Trisha, I'm really sorry. I should've believed you, and-

'It's my fault Naruto. Stop, please.' She paused. 'I'm going to be out of here soon. Go back to Konoha.'

What?!

'Sasuke's going to help me get out of here. I'll probably be back in Konoha within the next week or so.'

Trisha, are you really going to trust him?

'I... don't know... But, I'll have to settle this for now. I promise, I'll be back.' She felt something wrap around her waist tightly, but ignored it so she could talk with Naruto.

O-okay... And Trisha, can I ask you something?

'Sure, Naruto.'

Why does Orochimaru want you and Sasuke together?

Trisha gulped. Should she tell him that she was going to be a vampyre? Would he be able to handle that or would he start having a heart attack?

'I... I'm apparently turning into... a v-vampyre...'

A what?!

'A vampyre Naruto. Bloodsuckers, I guess that's the word for them. It w-was what everyone in my clan was. Please, don't tell anyone. Not even-' She decided leaving the part out that she might die was a good idea.

Trisha, I already told Sakura I was talking to you telepathically... I think I can tell her about this too.

'Naruto... urgh... um... just... Okay fine, tell her. But no one else, okay?'

Alright. I won't say a word to anyone else. I... um... I love you.

'I love you too. And your not still mad at me, right?'

I, uh... no. Trisha. I could never be. Just don't do anything else with Sasuke, please.

'Okay, I promise.'

I have to talk to Sakura now, okay? Bye.

'B-bye...'

-xxx-

Naruto's eyes flew open, only to see Sakura once more. "Did you talk to her?" She asked. Naruto nodded, then stared at her. "What did she say?"

"We have to head back to Konoha. Sasuke's going to get her out of there, and that... she's turning into a vampyre? I think that's what she said." Naruto rambled on. Sakura's eyes were wide.

"A vampyre???" She asked. Surprisingly, she was staying calm. "I thought those were just myths." Naruto shrugged.

"Apparently not." Naruto said, staring up at the sky. A brief wind blew, blowing a few leaves out of the tree he was leaning against. "How are we going to tell them we have to leave?" Sakura stared at the group. "Trisha didn't want me telling anyone else that we were talking telepathically... so..."

"I don't know." She said. "If I were you, the best thing would probably just be to tell everyone that you have been talking to her." Naruto nodded.

"Alright, let's go." He said, getting up.

A soft knock came from the door, and Trisha got up from the bed, walking over to it. Sasuke stirred a bit as she stood up, but stayed silently asleep. Trisha jarred the door open. "Kabuto?" She said. "What do you want?" He motioned for her to step out of the room, and she did as so, then closing the door behind her.

"...Look at your wrists..." She looked down and saw that the green marks where the chakra cuffs should be in her skin. They were blue; like normal chakra. She gave Kabuto a WTF look, and he smirked.

"Wait..." She unwrapped the bandages around her right hand, and the stab wound was now just a scar. Unwrapping her left hand, the cuts on her knuckles were healed. "That explains the medical chakra... it was healing me, right?" The thin pink scar on her cheek had disappeared, and she was sure that the mark on her back had healed. 'The cuffs don't restrain my chakra... they use my chakra against my will to help heal me faster. I wonder...' Trisha made a hand sign, and her hands zapped her, sending a shock through her body. "OW! Damn! Orochimaru is clever with this stuff isn't he?" Kabuto nodded.

"Now give me your wrists." Kabuto ordered. She rolled her eyes, and put her wrists out in front of her. Kabuto made a hand sign, then the blue chakra lines around her wrists disappeared. Trisha's widened.

"What did you do?" She asked, staring at her wrists intently.

"I removed the cuffs, permanently." Kabuto replied. "The only reason Lord Orochimaru had those put on you was so you can't use your chakra, and in the mean time, it would heal the damage done to you." She kept staring at her wrists, then looked up at Kabuto.

"Hey... um, thanks, I guess." She said with a crooked smile. Kabuto turned to walk down the hall.

"And between you and me, I wasn't even supposed to do that." Kabuto started. "It's just that Lord Orochimaru might not make it to see your turning into a vampyre. He needs Sasuke's body as soon as possible."

"He's needs Sasuke's what?" She asked, completely surprised by his comment.

"He needs his body. I'm sure an almost ranked ANBU would know what I'm talking about." Kabuto said.

"Yeah, I do, it's just that..." She started. "Didn't Orochimaru say I needed Sasuke's blood?" Kabuto nodded.

"You'll see what happens once he goes through the change." Kabuto said, walking off down the hall, leaving Trisha completely dumbfounded. She twitched slightly then opening the door to walk inside. She slammed into Sasuke.

"OW!" She said. "Oh, sorry." Sasuke didn't say a word, and just walked around her. "Hey, um... where are you going?" She asked. He didn't respond. "Sasuke?"

"Stay inside the room until I return." He said, emotionless. It was really odd for him to be doing something like this. "I'll be back in a little while." He kept walking down the hall. Trisha noticed he was carrying his sword with him, and that was DEFINATLY not a good sign. 'What is he up to?' She thought, walking back into the room, closing the door and locking it.
