Ravens and Foxes

Chapter 1: Captive

***FlashFORWARD***

Naruto started to cry before he even fully woke up. There had been many missions where he had received painful and life-threatening injuries, but this was different. He'd received all this suffering at the hands of a maniac who claimed it was research.

A wet rag dabbed at his forehead, cooling the feverish skin. He was still too afraid to open his eyes to see who was helping him. "I know you're awake dobe" came a soft voice.

His lids flew open, the only person to ever refer to him like that was Sasuke. His blue orbs landed on the boy, trying to figure out if it was real or not. The Uchiha rung out a new rag and went back to his neck, gently wiping the sweat away.

It hadn't been that long ago that Sai had prevented the teen from stabbing him through the back with his katana. Naruto wondered why he was helping him now, and if he had known that he'd been held captive there. The blonde reached up a shaky hand and grabbed the raven's wrist, squeezing it a few times.

"I'm real, loser. Now let go, you're burning up with a fever and I can't give you anything else for it" Sasuke responded to the unasked question. "They damaged your liver at some point and until it heals your body won't be able to process any pain medication or antibiotics."

Naruto loosened his grip but didn't completely release his hold. Part of him was afraid that if he did the Uchiha would leave. He stared up at the handsome face, trying to catch those dark eyes.

Sasuke could feel the blonde staring at him but decided to ignore it and focus on the rag instead. He pulled himself from the death grip and moved lower, watching as the once strong chest rose and fell weakly.

The tan boy tried to speak, but all that came out was a scratchy croak.

"Don't speak right now; you need to let your throat heal" the raven ordered, though his voice remained soothing. He couldn't bring himself to be too harsh with his old friend. The look in his previously lively blue eyes had deteriorated to fear, pain and confusion.

He silently scolded himself for being so weak around the blonde. The Valley of the End was supposed to severe their bond but that hadn't worked. Then he almost killed him again during their last encounter. But he had secretly been surprised the boy didn't attempt to stop him and grateful to the man who had saved him. Now they were here, with him acting like the idiot's personal nurse, doing his best to calm his fears.

His black eyes continued to travel over his friend's battered body, re-observing the damage his sensei and Kabuto had caused. It was moments like these that he felt regret for every coming to this place. He wondered if the blonde had been looking for him again when he was captured, but now wasn't the time to ask.

***Back to the present***

"SON OF A BITCH!" Naruto screamed as he once again tried to pry his arms from the chakra restraints. He had a pounding headache that only seemed to get worse as he fought, but he kept going, determined to be free. He tried to remember how he had wound up in the dungeon he now stood in, but everything was fuzzy. The last thing the blonde remembered was going to sleep in his bed after eating ramen.

Time moved slowly; there was no clock or light to tell him how long he had been standing there, or anyone around to ask, just darkness and silence. He wondered if the Akatsuki had somehow managed to infiltrate Konoha and capture him, or if he had died at some point and gone straight to hell.

Naruto called out multiple times for what seemed like hours. His stomach growled in hunger and his muscles ached from being held in the same place too long. Eventually, he tried to contact Kurama, but the Fox didn't answer him; he couldn't even bring himself to the room in his mind; the blonde was totally alone.

Finally, a door opened in the distance and he had to close his eyes against the brightness. Three dark figures strolled in before the door closed again. "You've been quite a security risk for the Leaf nine-tails. I'm truly shocked that you weren't locked up sooner" one of the voices began. Naruto tried to place the voice, but he didn't believe he had ever had the 'pleasure' of speaking with him before.

"What do you want?" he growled.

There was a pause before the man answered. "The only thing I have ever wanted is for Konoha to be safe."

The blonde almost snorted at the response. It was well known that he would protect the village will his life. He had worked hard and trained with Kakashi and Jiraiya, one of the legendary Sannin. He'd even helped save Gaara from the Akatsuki, solidifying relations with Sunagakure.

"I have made a deal with a man who poses a very real threat to our way of life. You will be given to him as our contribution and in return, he will never again try to attack us. Consider yourself being of use to the people for a change."

Naruto snarled and yanked on the chains again. He wasn't just some bargaining piece to be tossed away when it was convenient. There was no way Baa-chan would let this happen; he just needed to speak with her. "Get the old bag down here right now! She'll tell you to buzz off you crazy bastard!" he screamed.

The man chuckled darkly, "that poor excuse for a shinobi won't be the Hokage much longer. Of that much I am sure."

Before Naruto could say anything else, something flew through the air and pricked his neck. He felt the blackness around him start to get colder, his eyelids becoming too heavy to hold open any longer. The last thing he heard was his chains ringing as his legs gave out beneath him.

When his crystal blue eyes opened, the first thing he realized was that he could see this time. There was a single glowing light beyond the bars of his cell, reminding him that he had been captured.

He had no idea who had taken him from his apartment, or where he was now, but he was nervous. Not only was he in danger, but the man from before had practically declared he was going to kill or at the very least displace Tsunade. He needed to get out of here to warn her. The blonde stood from the cold floor and walked to the opening of his cell.

"My, my, it appears like our little kitsune has woken up."

Naruto did recognize that voice; it was one that he could never forget. "Orochimaru" he growled, gripping the metal bars. "You're the one that kidnapped me?"

The snake man shook his head as he laughed; technically, he had only bargained for the boy. It was someone else who had done all the dirty work.

Kabuto came up behind him, pushing his glasses further up on his nose as usual. "What would you like done first Lord Orochimaru?"

The man slid his tongue out, reminding Naruto of how creepy he could be. His smirk only widened at the boys growing discomfort; he had many plans for the blonde.

"Let's have some fun first don't you think? I want to know how long it takes the little jinchuriki to heal after receiving various injuries" he responded. The man was clearly a sadist, and Naruto was his newest toy.

The blonde's agony filled screams continued to ricochet off the walls as they tortured him. He was attached to an upright medical table, his arms bound by the wrists near his sides and his ankles cuffed to the bottom of the flat surface. His headband lay on a counter across the room; it had been removed so that they could put a strap over his forehead to keep it in place.

Kabuto pulled a knife from a small firepit, its sharp edge glowing from the heat. He dragged it slowly across Naruto's chest, burning him as it sliced through the soft skin. The vile smell of burnt flesh filled the sweat-soaked air.

After a few moments, his latest shriek stopped, leaving his throat raw. Tears were streaming down his tan cheeks as he tried to keep himself from begging for them to stop.

Orochimaru sat in a chair a few feet in front of him, watching the torment take place. The blonde could see how aroused he was through his blurry vision. His last hope was that the snake didn't try to put his hands on him next. They had already whipped, cut, smothered and now burned him; he didn't know how much more his body or mind would be able to take.

The silver-haired man came and checked his pulse and blood pressure, writing it down in a small book. "Would you like me to continue Orochimaru-sama; his vital signs are starting to look very poor."

"See how far you can push him Kabuto, I think he can handle a bit more" he sneered. Naruto started to shake in fear and anticipation. The older boy walked away momentarily before returning with a hammer.

The blonde let his lungs expel another anguish filled shout as the hammer crushed right kneecap; not noticing the door opening in the background.

As the hammer swung again to hit his forearm, but it didn't connect. He tried to see what had happened, but the blood, sweat, and tears distorted his vision. His body went flaccid as it gave in to the pain, dropping him into another round of unconsciousness.

***Time-Skip: One Month (Past the Flashforward Scene)***

Sasuke moved over to where the injured boy lay on the bed, dread rising in his body with each step. He stopped next to the sleeping form and shook him softly, waiting for his stunning blue eyes to open. When he didn't get a response, he decided he would just start and let the blonde wake up whenever. It would easier for the raven this way anyhow.

He pulled the covers away from Naruto, exposing his nearly naked body. The Uchiha took the time to glide his eyes all over the marred skin. The wounds were healing well, but the scars were still tight and restricted his movements; it would take time before they disappeared like usual. But more than that, Sasuke was reminded just how beautiful his friend was. Despite the lack of use, his muscles remained lean and toned while his skin was still the same golden honey color.

The Raven followed up his fragile neck to the strong jawline and to his pouty lips, licking his own when it donned on him he would soon get to kiss them again. He stripped out of his clothes and inched closer to the bed again, pulling out a kunai to remove the blonde's boxers.

The teen still didn't stir as weight was added to the mattress, depressing it between his slightly parted legs. Sasuke quickly cut the fabric and set the knife just out of reach before resting his hands on either side of Naruto's head. He decided he like Naruto's slightly longer hair, it framed his face well.

He took a deep breath and dropped to his elbows, readying his body for the struggle that was sure to ensue when Naruto woke to find them both naked.

The Uchiha dipped his head down and pressed his mouth on Naruto's, butterflies swarming his stomach as he did. He could feel the blonde starting to stir below him and decided to let the rest of his body stop hovering.

Blue orbs opened slowly and made contact with deep black ones before widening. He didn't move, slowly realizing that Sasuke and he were both naked and pressed up against each other. The older boys tongue pushed past his lips and into his wet cavern, searching it.

Naruto started blinking rapidly, believing that if he did it enough it would dispel whatever Jutsu he was under. The Uchiha saw him regain his movement and withdrew his tongue, not wanting it bitten off when the blonde's brain finally caught up.

His kisses moved to the blonde's jaw and then down his neck. Naruto's scent intoxicated him; it was surreal that he could be so close to his long-time crush. It wasn't until he had licked all the way to his collarbone that he heard the boys weak voice.

"S-Sasuke…. What are you doing?" Naruto asked, his heart beating loudly in his ears.

If the Uchiha wasn't so uncomfortable himself he would have rolled his eyes at such an obvious question. They were naked and he was running his tongue over the blonde's exposed skin. "Be quiet" was his only response.

The blonde blinked his eyes several more times, still not believing this was happening. "I don't understand…" he started.

This time Sasuke brought his face back up to Naruto's and gazed into his confused eyes. He slid one of his hands down the blonde's toned torso until he reached his leg, pulling it out a bit farther before he ground his hips down into the others. His hardness rubbed against the blondes semi-erect one causing a small gasp to sneak past the smooth tan lips.

Naruto brought his hands up to the raven's waist and gave a weak push. His fearful eyes not leaving Sasuke's cold orbs. The Uchiha knocked his hands away and gripped the blonde's jaw tightly, "Don't fight me Naruto or I will make it hurt more than it has to."

The blonde didn't make a sound or try to move again. He closed his eyes and lay rigid beneath the older boy waiting for him to continue touching him.

"Spread your legs" Sasuke commanded, relaxing some when Naruto did as he was told. The Uchiha was very much aware that this was not nearly as romantic as he had wanted it to be when they were younger, but if he didn't get it over with now he knew he would lose his nerve.

He repositioned himself so that he was ready to enter the blonde, purposely not looking up at his surely distraught face. Slowly, he pushed himself in gasping at how tight he was. Naruto grabbed him again, holding him still.

"Naru-" he started but was interrupted by the blonde.

"W-wait… please, Sasuke it hurts… I w-won't stop you j-just…"

Sasuke dared to raise his eyes when Naruto let out a heavy breath and tried to relax his body. His head was turned to the side, his eyes closed tightly as tears slipped out. The Uchiha almost pulled out and apologized before he remembered what Orochimaru had told him.

Naruto would be spared from more torture if he took him as his pet, which in the snake's world meant sex toy. One of the conditions was not explaining why he was forcing himself on the blonde and the time limit for him to claim the blonde would be over tonight. He had to go through with it.

When he felt the boys breathing start to stabilize, he jerked forward, forcing himself inside the blonde completely. Naruto let out a sobbed cry at the pain, feeling his muscles stretching to accommodate the raven.

After a few minutes of waiting Sasuke didn't think he could stand not moving anymore. He withdrew himself to the head and then pushed forward again, moaning into the blonde's exposed neck as he set a steady pace.

Naruto turned his head back, leaving his mouth next to Sasuke's ear. He left one of his hands on the firm waist and slipped the other under the Uchiha's arm, resting it in between his shoulder blades as his nails dug into the pale skin.

The Raven could hear the blonde's slightly pained laced groans, and reached between them, wrapping his graceful fingers around the half-solid member. He could feel the wet tears touching his cheek as they continued to fall from Naruto's eyes, but he started to stroke him anyway.

The groans quickly changed to mewls of pleasure when he finally found the blondes sweet spot and pumped in time with his thrusts. He closed his eyes in the ecstasy of his crushes body writhing beneath his own, temporarily forgetting the blonde might now want what was happening to him.

Their bodies moved as one, edging them both closer to their climaxes. "S-Sasuke!" Naruto moaned loudly, clamping his quivering hole around the raven as he released. He breathed out shakily into the pale neck near his mouth when he felt the Uchiha spill himself inside of him.

Almost as soon as he got his senses back Sasuke was pulling on his boxers and moving to stand up. His heart dropped; he didn't know why the raven had slept with him, but he wanted him to stay and hold him. The Uchiha was refusing to look at him and it made him feel dirty. He was in love with the arrogant prick and always had been; that's why he chased him to the ends of the Earth and let him almost kill him at their last meeting. If that's what Sasuke wanted he would happily give his life.

But now that he'd finally been intimate with his love, the man wouldn't even spare him a glance. He turned his head back to the wall and started to cry again. The Uchiha felt his own heart start to crack when the weeping met his ears; he felt guilty for forcing himself on the blonde and didn't think Naruto would ever forgive him. He needed to get out of there and give him some space.

Sasuke willed himself to not look back as he left the small room. If he had, he would have seen the blonde watch him, his eyes full of sadness and longing.
