Okay so this is the next part to my story 'Love' I really hope you all like it.
It was another few days before they began to look for someone for me to stay with. As it turns out I can't stay with Kakashi sensei. He was needed for some missions. I was worried about who they would put me with.
It didn't take long for them to find someone for me to stay with, just a couple day's after the search Kakashi came in and said, "They found someone. This person has been coming everyday to make sure you were alright. They should be here in a few minutes. Just try to stay calm and try to keep an open mind."
"Alright." I was still uncomfortable around people but I would have to force my self to try and stay calm. I turned and stared at the clock, there was nothing else to do for now. After a little while I heard a knock at the door.
"I'll go talk to them first then I'll let you see who it is." I nod and watched him walk over to the door. He only opened the door enough to fit his body through, I guess he was making sure that I couldn't see who it was. I couldn't hear who he was talking to, but I knew he was talking to someone. He came back in after a couple of minutes. "You ready to see who it is?" I nod, it's not like I can say no, if I want out I'll just have to agree to it. He goes over to the door and opens it. I couldn't believe who what standing there.
"You!" I couldn't believe my eyes. Was he really the one that would come here everyday just to make sure that I was okay? Or even that he was the one to volunteer to take care of me, not that I needed to be taken care of, but again it was the only for me to get out.
"I thought you said he was doing better." He sounded angry, well not angry, but annoyed
"Just calm down, Itachi." I was angry and confused, what was he doing here? Itachi Uchiha. "This is better; when he was first brought in he was not even able to stand, or for that matter stay awake for longer than a few minutes. Now with some help he can stand, and even walk a little ways." I had to interject in their conversation.
"Can someone please tell me why he's here or hell why he's even alive?" Kakashi and Itachi both look at me. It's like they forgot about me. "Well, I'm waiting."
"That's right, I never told you about Itachi coming back…"
"That's right you didn't. He's a wanted criminal, he killed his entire family. He's the reason Sasuke is the way he is." This time Itachi was the one that spoke.
"I will admit I've made some mistakes…"
"Some?" He sighed.
"Fine, a lot of mistakes. But not all of them are ones that I wanted to make. If you will just listen to me, and not interrupt me, I'll tell you the truth. If you don't believe me then you can ask the interrogation squad. I spent 24 hours being forced to relive all my mistakes. So tell me where you want me to begin." He was talking more than I've ever seen him talk, which in all fairness I haven't seen him all that much so I guess I shouldn't judge. I decide to answer him at least that was I can at least get an answer.
"The night you killed your family, no just before that. And I want to know everything."
"Just before that, huh. Well I was asked by the Third Hokage, his advisors, and Danzo, you do know who that is, don't you?" He paused; I guess he wanted me to answer.
"Of course I do." I say coldly. How could I not know who he is, he's the one that messed up Sai.
"Alright. Well they asked me to choose, my family or my village. I choose my village. After that I asked them why they wanted me to choose. They said that they wanted me to spy on my family, they had suspicions that my family was planning on doing something to the village. Well it didn't take me long to find out that they wanted to do, they wanted to take over the village. I don't know the reason for them wanting to take over, I think they didn't like the way the village was being ran at the time. I told the Hokage and the others what they were planning…" He stopped, I guess he was trying to see if I believed him or not. I took the time to look at Kakashi. He nodded. I believed him, more so than I believed Itachi. He must have taken that as a good sign because Itachi began his story again. "After talking amongst themselves they told me what they wanted me to do. They wanted me to kill my whole family. I told them I would but on the condition that I can keep my little brother alive instead of making him one of the casualties. I just couldn't bring my self to do that to him. So a couple weeks later I killed them all and made my brother hate me. It hurt me to have to leave him here to find his own way." I had to interject.
"So why didn't you just take him and start a new life else where?"
"Because I wanted him to hate me I wanted him to grow to hate me so much that he would want to kill me."
"Oh." That's all I could say. For some reason I believed him. Maybe it was the look in his eyes or perhaps the way his voice sounded as he talk about Sasuke, he sounded depressed.
"Continuing on, after I finished that part of my mission I became a spy for Konoha, I would tell Danzo what the Akatsuki what up to, and what they were planning."
"I know what happens after that, how you get to the point as to why you're here or even how you're alive."
"Alright, I suppose I'll start with how I'm alive. What they killed was a body double. Zetsu could create a perfect replication of anyone, right down to their chakra type. So what they actually killed was the clone that he created. And as for why I'm here. I heard about what Sasuke was doing. I tried to get here sooner, but I couldn't."
"Why."
"I was busy with Akatsuki stuff. I'll explain more about what I did later. At first I couldn't believe that Sasuke would be doing something like this. I know he was raised differently." Kakashi took over from there, we both knew that Itachi doesn't normally talk all that much. I think he was beginning to run out of things to say.
"From what I understand Itachi had snuck into the village to come and see for himself what had happened. I caught him just as he was about to go in your room. You were still out of it when all of this happened. At first I didn't know what to think, he was supposed to be dead, but once I got over the shock and realized that he was really standing in front of me I got myself ready for a fight. I thought he had come here to finish what Sasuke had started, or at least to capture you and take you to the Akatsuki. But instead of fighting he surrendered and asked me if it was true. I at first I had no idea what he was talking about, but once I figured out that he was talking about you and Sasuke, I confirmed it." He stopped to look at Itachi.
"Is that all?" I wanted to hear everything, I just had a feeling like there is more to this story.
"No, after that I took him to the Hokage. On the way there he kept asking if you were all right, if you were going to be all right and things like that. He said that he really wanted to talk to you and apologize for everything that had happened to you. I told him that he would have to talk to the Hokage about all that. After he told his story to the Hokage they took him to a holding cell. While he was in there we located the paper work on him and the mission that he was talking about. As it turns out Danzo kept a record on you and the exact mission that Itachi was talking about, it confirmed his story. But to be on the safe side they went to Ibiki and asked him to interrogate him. Well obviously everything checked out. He is on probation, but is allowed to live here." I guess that was the end of their story.
"So why did you come here everyday?"
"Because I wanted to see how you were doing."
"Oh, so why are you going to take care of me?"
"Because…"
"Because you feel like this is your fault." I knew what he was going to say. He nodded. "Whatever. I don't need to be taken care of, alright?" I hated the idea that he felt sorry for me and just wanted to take care of me to make up for what his little brother had done.
"If that were true, Naruto, then you would have already been released, and they wouldn't be looking for someone to take care of you." Kakashi said. Itachi spoke next.
"I'm not taking care of you; I'm just going to be helping you while you stay with me." I liked his answer better; it made me sound less needy. I still didn't trust him, but his story made since, for some odd reason.
"Fine." I was just going to suck it up and bare with it. If the fox would just get over it I wouldn't have to stay with him.
Later that day Kakashi and Itachi was signing some paper work and packing up my stuff for me. I wasn't looking forward to where I was going. Apparently Itachi was staying on the out skirts of town far away from the village. For whatever reason that was where he decided to stay for the time being. Although I was a little happy at the fact that Anbu was checking up on him from time to time, at least until he showed that he could be trusted again. "You ready." The weasel man said.
"Whatever. Let's just go. I want to get out of here." Itachi helped me out of bed, after that I pushed him away. 'I don't know what's worse, having almost been killed by the man I love or have to be taken care of by his older brother. I think they are about equal.' I still didn't like people touching me. I had to lean against a wall to keep myself steady, but either than that I was fine. When we got down to the exit I saw all my old friends there. When Kiba noticed me he told the others, then they all started to run towards me. For some reason I got scared, I think it was the fact that they were all running at me, I don't know, but what I do know is that I made a mad dash for the stair case so I could go back to the room I was in. I just wanted to go back and get back in bed, I felt safe in that room, like no one was going to hurt me ever again. I knew I looked like an idiot, but at that time I didn't care. When I would look back at them all I would see is Sasuke running towards me, looking like he was going to kill me.
I felt someone grab my shoulder. I don't look; I just struggle to get free. "Naruto, calm down, No one is going to hurt you, they've stopped. Naruto." I take a chance and look back again. I see that they were all standing back, and the one holding me in place what Itachi. My friends looked hurt. "Stay here." I guess Itachi understood what I was feeling at that moment. I was upset that I would even act that way with them, it was like every little thing reminded me of him. Itachi walked back over to me. "They are going to slowly walk over here ok, just try to stay calm." I nod. I felt so weak; I had to have Itachi save me, and from my own friends none the less.
They slowly walk over to me. The first one to speak was Sakura. "Naruto, you idiot, why would you let him…"
"I don't want to talk about it." I said that a little too bitterly.
"I know just tell us why." Neji spoke this time. I sighed they were going to just keep prying until I gave them an answer.
"I don't know. I loved him, that's all I can say."
"But even so you had to know what he was doing was wrong." That pissed me off.
"What the hell, you all are acting like all I had to do was leave him and everything would have been alright! Well it wasn't that simple, alright! I was terrified of him, but I loved him at the same time!" I stop yelling. "If I would have left he would have come after me. It wouldn't have mattered."
"But…" Kiba was about to say something.
"Don't! I don't want to hear you say that you all would have helped me. None of you could have fought him off, so it wouldn't have mattered. I don't wand to talk about this anymore, unless you've lived through something like this then wouldn't understand what I was feeling." Itachi spoke up before any of them had a chance to say anything else.
"I think it's time we left, do you?" I knew he was talking to me, I just nod. Just as we were about to start walking away Sakura threw her self on me. I began to freak out. I don't know what I was thinking when she did it, all I know is that I wanted her off of me, and that I wanted to get away. It's not that I didn't trust her, even though apart of me didn't, I just didn't want someone hugging on me, it felt weird.
"Get off, please, get off of me." I began to scream and cry, I began to imagine Sasuke being the one to hold me and tell me what he was going to do to me later, all I could do was tell her to get off, I know that I sounded like an idiot and I know people were staring. I felt someone one rip her off of me. I fell to my knees, shaking.
"Just stay back. Naruto, you're all right, ok. Just calm down and breathe Naruto." There was no rush to his voice, just his normal voice. And for some reason that was calming, and it scared me.
"W-wh-why do y-you e-e-even care." I didn't mean to stutter. I really didn't want to stutter, it made me sound weak.
"In truth, I don't know, but I do. We'll talk more about this later, for now, focus on breathing." I didn't even know that I had stopped breathing; I took a deep breath, and as soon as I had done that I felt like my head had cleared and I was able to think again. I didn't feel like asking any more questions, all I wanted to do was get out of there.
"Why is he acting like this?" They were talking amongst them selves, it was a little annoying. Itachi must have heard them also.
"Because, he has been abused by someone he cares about. Think about how traumatizing this whole thing must be for him."
"Yeah but were not Sasuke."
"It doesn't matter. Every little thing reminds him of something that has happened to him."
'Hey, kit. I still want to know why you just sat there and took it. It's not like you.' It was the fox.
'Because, I loved him. And before you even start talking, I know I'm being stupid.'
'Yeah you are. You know if you would just let me out we could get revenge on him. Think about it, he would feel your pain. You could make him beg for you to stop.'
'No, there's no way in hell I'm letting you out for something so stupid. Now just leave me alone for right now.'
'Fine, but we will continue this conversation later, when you're alone. For now, do as the Uchiha says and focus on breathing, I don't feel like dieing today.' It was then that I realized that I was holding my breath, again.
"Naruto breath." I let my breath out. After that I was back to my current normal. I turn to face my friends.
"Just give me some time. I promise, I'll go back to normal. All I need is a little time. Alright?" I force a smile. They seemed okay with that answer.
"Alright. Then we'll see you later Naruto." I nod and watch them leave. As soon as they were gone my smile faded.
"Well that was nice of you." I knew what he was talking about.
"Yeah I know, can we go I'm starting to feel a little tired."
"I thought you would be. There was a lot of excitement in such a short amount of time." I nod. He wound up happening to help me all the way to his house. I hated it.
"I can get myself from here." He let me go once we got through the front door.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, just tell me where to go."
"You can hang out on the couch in the living room. It's right through there." He pointed to the door closest to where we were. I slowly make my way in there. When I walked in I was shocked. I was expecting something like what Sasuke had. A lot of dark blues and blacks, with white walls, but this was totally different. He had deep burgundy type color on the walls, with white furniture. When I turned I saw that he had a huge TV.
'Doesn't spare any expense, does he?' The fox said what I was thinking.
'No he doesn't. But I guess he wouldn't be a Uchiha if he didn't spend a lot of money on his house.'
'Your right there.' He didn't say anything else after that.
"I thought that you said you were going to relax on the couch?" I didn't feel like correcting him, considering that he was the one that told me to relax on the couch.
"Oh sorry, I was just looking around." He had a questioning look on his normally stoic face. "It's not what I expected. I thought there was going to be a lot of black."
"I like black, but I don't like it that much."
"Oh." We stood in awkward silence for a little while. Itachi spoke first.
"Would you like to watch a movie?" I thought about. 'It's been a while since I've watched a movie. I don't even know what movies are coming out. But it would be nice.'
"Yeah."
"Go sit down. I'll go get the movies." He saw the look on my face. "You need to relax. Your still weak." I sighed in defeat, he was right, I may not be as smart as Shikamaru, but I was smart enough to realize when someone was right. I walked over to the couch; I just stood there looking at it. It was crisp white, I was a little afraid of sitting down, I might get it dirty. After a moment I decided that I should just sit down, if I get it dirty then I'll wash it when I get done with it. Itachi came back with a huge binder in his hands. "These are all the DVD's that I've collected over the years, and some that I took while I was with the Akatsuki. Choose which ever one you like." I nod. As I was flipping through I noticed that there were a lot of horror films. 'I want to watch a comedy or something, anything to get my mind off of my current situation.' I couldn't choose which one.
"I can't decide which one, just put in whatever." He nods and takes the binder from me. I couldn't stop thinking about how I had acted around my friends. 'They'll never look at me the same way again. How could I act like that? It's just not like me.'
"Can I ask you something?" He said while flipping through his movies.
"You just did, but you can ask something else." I just knew he was going to ask about Sasuke.
"I want to know everything that happened to you. I know you don't want to talk about it, but it would help me to know what has happened so I know what my limits are. You understand?"
"Yeah." I stopped to think about if I wanted to talk about all that to him or not. He sighed.
"I'll tell you what I know then you can fill in the blanks." I nod. That would be a bit easier. "All right, it's common knowledge that you were abused, both mentally and physically. I know you don't like people to touch you. I know the doctors said that something else has happened that you're not telling people and since you wouldn't tell then they wouldn't tell, they did a full examination of your body, from top to bottom. They said they found something that could indicate rape but they weren't sure, like I said if you wouldn't be willing to tell people, then they had no right to. Now what I would like to know is, did he rape you?"
'How the hell could they tell that just by looking me over? I guess there's no point in hiding it from him, he seems to know all.' He let me take my time before talking. "Yeah, he did. It was only a few times though. But those few times messed me up. Every time someone touches me I get scared. I wish I wouldn't but I do." I felt sick after saying that. I've never admitted to anyone, not even myself. I would always lie to myself and tell me that it can't be rape if your with the person that you love, and I, being the idiot I am, just stuck to that explanation.
"Only a few?" My head shot up so I could look directly at him, I study him for a moment. 'I'm seriously starting to believe that he is psychic.' I didn't want to answer. "Before you say anything, I'm not psychic, I've spent my entire life reading people, and you're no exception." 'He says he isn't but I still think he is."
"Am I that easy to read?"
"Yeah, you are." He could tell that I was both uncomfortable as well as annoyed by he last comment. "Well let's drop the subject for now. Let's watch this one." He held up an action movie.
"Alright." He was acting a little different than I thought he would be. He always was so quite, but now he's talking, hell he's acting like he cares about me. He must be forcing himself to talk, and maybe even care about me. "Why did you really offer to take care of me? I know there has to be some reason for that." I didn't want the same answer that he gave me before. He just looked at me for a little bit. I guess he was trying to figure out what to say. I just stared back waiting for an answer.
"I suppose I feel like I need to make up for what my little brother has done." He gave me the same answer as he did before. And again he practically said that pity was his reason, why didn't he just say that he felt bad for me, why did he have to try and make it sound like it was some other reason? "I'll admit that I do feel bad for you, but pity wasn't my reason." 'See psychic' I thought. "In truth I don't think I have a good reason to help you. And before you even start thinking that I can read minds, again, I can't. You're just an easy person to read, like I had stated before." That just proved to make me angrier.
'I can't sit here with him. He's almost as bad as Sasuke.' I stood up, ignoring the pain that shot through me. And began to walk out of the room, ignoring him as he tells me to sit back down. Just as I began to walk through the doorway I feel a hand grab me. I stopped dead in my tracks, memories of every thing that had happened to me began to swim through my head, and I was finding it hard to breathe. I tried to keep my outside calm while my inside was anything but calm. "Let go of me." I try to say in a calm voice, but fail.
"Where are you going?"
"It doesn't matter."
"Yes it does, you still injured."
"Fine, at least can I go have some alone time?" He nods.
"I'll show you where your room is." I nod and follow him up stairs; he shows me my room and leaves me there to my own thoughts. I look around my new room; it's bigger than the one that Sasuke and I shared when he was still with me. Just thinking about him makes me feel a little sick. 'Why do I still love him, I mean I know now that he never loved me. I mean it's obvious that someone doesn't love you when they try to kill you. But I still miss him.' I feel another pain go through my chest. I sigh and go lay on the huge bed that was up against one of the walls. After laying there for a little bit I could feel my self starting to go to sleep, I didn't even know I was tired until now. I let sleep claim me.
"Naruto come with me to the bed room, there's something that you and I need to talk about." I look over to the love of my life, Sasuke, and nod. I don't know why he wants to talk to me in the bedroom when we could easily just talk out in the living room. When we reach the bedroom he turns around and looks back at me, there's something different about the way he looks this time. "Shut the door will you?" I nod and do as I'm told. Not because I'm being forced to but just because I want to, I like doing things for him.
"Sasuke, what's wrongs. You look upset about something."
"I'm not upset about anything, Naruto." He takes a step towards me, I feel fear course through my body, so I take a step back. What ever he was thinking I knew it meant something bad for me. I tried to turn and leave but he was faster than me. Before I knew what was happening he had me pinned against the wall. "Where do you think your going? Don't you want to talk to me?"
"Talk yes, what ever you're planning to do, no. Now can you let me go?" He smirked, that stupid Uchiha smirk. Other people found it to be sexy, but right now I only found it to be annoying.
"Why would I do that?"
"Because I asked you to." I knew he could feel my heart beating out of my chest, he could since that I was scared, and for some reason he seemed to be happy that I was feeling that.
"There's something that I want, and your going to give it to me, wither you want to or not so you can either give up now, or I can make you give up later." He whispered in my ear. I know what he wants , but I don't want to. I'm just not willing yet; I had asked him to wait just a little longer, obviously he isn't willing to. "Now are you going to tell me if you're going to give up and do what I want, or will I force you?" I'm not going to give in. I lean in close to his ear.
"Sasuke," I whisper, "there is no way in hell I'm just going to give in." I finish in a slight growl. I use all my strength to push him off of me. It works, but he didn't stay away from me for very long for me. I hadn't even taken a step before he had me pinned back against the wall, but this time he had my stomach against the wall.
"I warned you that I would force you in to giving me what I want." He grabs my hair and throws on to our bed. The next few minutes happen so fast. One minute I'm fighting him off of me and the next I'm in nothing but my boxers, but I'm still fighting. I'm not going to give in just because he wants me to. He punches me in my stomach. As I double over I feel him grab the rim of my boxers. He pulls them off in one swift movement. I look over at him. I don't see the same Sasuke that I feel in love with, but what I did see was someone who didn't care what happened to anybody as long as they got what they wanted. I get up and try to run, I feel my body wanting to give out, but I'm not going to let it. Sasuke is after me in less than a second. He grabs me and throws me back on the bed.
"Why couldn't you just give up, why did you have to fight? I really didn't want to hurt you."
"Just shut up." I don't want to hear his shit right now.
"Fine, lets get this over with, I'm supposed to go meet with the Hokage soon." I hear him take his pants and underwear off. He pushes me stomach down on the bed, then he sits on me. He reaches under the pillow and pulls something out, rope. He ties me to the bed, then grabs my hips and makes me get on my hands and knees. I try to break the rope, but they don't budge. I feel something hard brush against me. I feel tears start to flow down my cheeks.
"Naruto! Naruto!" I hear someone screaming, I can't tell who though.
"Naruto!" I feel something shaking me. I jolt up and look around. Sitting next to me is Itachi. "Your alright. Just calm down and breathe."
"What happened?"
"You were dreaming. It sounded like you were getting beat up or something. Are you ok?"
"Yeah, it was just a dream, it's nothing to get worked up over."
"I don't believe you. I need to change your bandages. Also you need to take a bath, I'll help you do that."
"I don't need help doing that."
"You're not supposed to use any of your chakra, at least not until the fox starts healing you. And you need to get the wounds on your back."
"I'll figure something out." He didn't show if he was getting annoyed with me, but for some reason I could feel that he was.
"I know he raped you, but I really need to do this, just give me one chance to show you that I'm not going to hurt you." I was amazed by how easily he was able to remain calm, even when he was annoyed. I knew I couldn't do this alone and if he was going to do something to me he would have done it while I was asleep, not waiting until I was awake and some what able to fight back.
"I'm going to give you this once chance, but only because I know that if you were going to do something than you have done it already. If so much as do something sexual or you touch me where I don't want to be touched than I want to go back to the hospital, and I'll just stay there until I'm better, understand?" He nods.
"Where can I touch you?"
"Just my back, shoulders, and my head. And you can't touch my lower back I can reach there." He nods again. He lets me get off the bed and start to make my way to the bathroom, where my torture would begin.
Like I said in the beginning I really hoped you all like it, I know Itachi is out of character, but I was trying to make it seem like he was trying at least, and was also a little sorry for everything that has happened. Okay enough rambling about the characters. Also I never realized how perverted some things can sound untill I reread this. Oh well.
Please review. I really love it when people review.
