"Now, now, Naruto… I'm only doing this because you said you hate me," a smooth voice said this as Naruto struggled.

"Guh," Naruto grunted as the chain around one of his ankles chafed his skin. 'Was that Sasuke's voice?' Naruto thought, 'I did say I hated him… But I do that all the time!'

"This is just punishment. I didn't do anything that made me deserve your hatred," Sasuke scowled at the wriggling figure of his victim.

"But that's not true! Sakura said she wouldn't go to the festival with me because you asked her already!" Naruto angrily voiced, remembering the horrible feeling of rejection.

Sasuke raised his eyebrows, "You actually believed I would do that?"

"Of course! Who wouldn't?"

"Me."

Naruto attempted to study his teammate's face, but it was hardly light enough to make anything out. From feeling alone though, he could tell that Sasuke was sitting on whatever piece of furniture the chains were connected to. It was most likely a bed. There were cuffs around his ankles and wrists, constricting his movements and preventing escape. He tried to raise his head to get a better view of his surroundings, but realized a collar had been placed around his neck.

"Why would you even have this stuff? Ugh, I can't even use my chakra…"

"They're chakra restricting chains, used mainly in jail cells and interrogation rooms… But sometimes people use them for torture."

"Well now that Mr. Smarty-Pants is aware that my hatred was a misunderstanding, why doesn't he let me go?"

"I don't want this to go to waste though," he tugged on the chain connected to the collar, "I might as well teach you a nice long lesson while I have you here."

Naruto flinched, 'Since when was Sasuke so…. insane?'

"I'll come up with some excuse and keep you here for as long as it takes to make you realize," Sasuke smirked, unseen in the dark room, "I can't wait to figure out what I can do with you…"

OOOoooOOO

Sakura sighed as Sasuke walked up to their meeting spot, "Oh, there you are Sasuke! Have you seen Naruto lately? I haven't seen him for two days… I feel terrible about lying to him the other day, I wanted to apologize."

"I last saw him two days ago… He screamed 'I hate you' at me and mumbled something about going to train," Sasuke assisted.

"Oh goodness, I hope he's okay… Wait a second!" she pointed angrily at Sasuke, "He screamed at you? I can't believe what nerve he has!"

Her rampage came to a swift halt as Kakashi appeared behind them, "Hello everyone, I'm sorry I'm…" he glanced around, "Am I actually early today? Where's Naruto?"

"I think he went to train," Sasuke mumbled in monotone.

"Oh…. He could have told me, I was planning a training session for tomorrow. We also have missions to do…"

"Just ignore it, we don't need him," Sasuke tried to fight his smirk. He knew exactly where 'his' Naruto was.
