Screams rang throughout the room, if you could call it that. The 'room' was nothing more than a dark damp cell; with no windows or light; the air stank of blood and death. Nothing moved, nothing stirred, and when it did…screaming soon followed it. The inhabitants of Orochimaru's dungeon were kept perfectly tame, as it were.
Sasuke's footsteps rang throughout the hallway; every step bringing him closer to the source of the screams. When he reached the door three men stepped out, grinning and laughing to them selves, at the sight of him however they stopped dead in their tracks.
"Uchiha-sama we didn't know you were coming here."
He didn't dignify that with an answer.
"Don't worry, sir, we've already broken him, he'll be no trouble for you." With a wink they were off. Good. It had taken all of Sasuke's self control not to kill the man where he'd stood, with that grin plastered on his face. When he walked into the room electric blue eyes snapped up to meet his.
"Hello traitor, how have you been?"
The sight nearly made him gag. There wrists bound behind his back, naked, bruised, covered in his own blood that seeped through the cuts and gashes dotted around his body; and out of places that made Sasuke queasy just thinking about.
Sasuke, the Sasuke Uchiha - traitor to Konoha - was worried. The curse seal had made him corrupt, he knew that and he regretted every second of it. Every night he was tormented with dreams, nightmares, of the things he had done; of his team mates faces. And now one of them was tied up in his sensei's dungeon, tortured and raped.
"No..." he whispered "No…"
The boy in front of him moved slightly and instantly hissed. Sasuke was at his side in an instant.
"Fuck off Chicken-But man."
Sasuke sighed and untied the bonds on the boy's wrists, and then, slowly turning him over onto his back, he picked him up bridle style.
"Put me down! Fuck! PUT ME DOWN NOW!"
"Hn…No."
The walk back to Sasukes 'room' was quiet and uncomfortable. And when they got their there wasn't much difference. Sasuke sighed and laid the boy on the bed before going over to the bathroom and changing for bed. By the time he came back the boy on the bed was dozing quietly under the sheets. Sasuke slipped in behind the figure and gripped his waist. The figure let out a whimper that struck Sasuke to the very core and made him angry, scared and guilty all at the same time; what could they have done to him to make a noise so…so…helpless? But of course he knew and the fact he couldn't have stopped it happening made him see red. He gripped the boys' waist tighter,
"Don't worry. Please don't be afraid, I won't hurt you; I promise."
He kept his grip tight, whispering anything comforting into his ear and the boy slowly relaxed. Sighing softly, the body sifted into the embrace and snuggled into the warmth behind him.
"I know. I know Sasuke."
And Sasuke smiled; for the first time in mouths - years even.
"I'm glad you do Naruto, I'm glad you do."
