Oh. Hi. I'm gonna be doing another fan fiction... Second one, and I think I'll be better at writing Naruto fan fiction, because I dunno... We'll see. This is going to turn out to be something like my Ao No Exorcist fan fiction, where it's just an experiment, and I'm going to rely on the help of people who review to keep it going.

I feel like there isn't enough Sasuke, I don't know why... but I kind of just want to throw my story out there. (: And if you like it so far, I would love if you would tell me. I know there's not much right now, I have to sleep now, but I just wanted to get something real quick out there to get things started. The chapters will get longer and more interesting, I promise.

But the big question, who should this fan fiction be between, or should it be between more than just two people? The main character will be Sasuke. Leave your thoughts. (: Thank you for reading!

For those who read my other fan fiction, you know I love angst and bad shit happening, so... that'll probably happen, whether you suggest it or not. Fluff has never been my friend. /3


He supposed he wasn't strong enough. Not as strong as he thought. He had betrayed almost everything he had once known to be truth, and this was the result. He was blinded by fabrics wrapped tightly around his eyes, his hands bound with chains, then wrapped over in similar fabric. Tight to avoid even the slightest twitch of a finger. There was no chance of fighting his captors, with the inability to use hand signs or even his own eyes, he was left holed up in the corner of his cell, wondering when the next time he would be visited was. He had too much pride to feel guilt or regret for all he had done, however. The deaths caused by his hand… He refused to lower his head because of them. He followed his beliefs! Though a small part of him believed Itachi would be ashamed as to where he currently ended up… as a man who had risked everything, betrayed everyone, and left his younger brother with nothing but hate in his heart all these years all for the safety of a village who in the end turned their back on him. He didn't understand it, it still angered him… But he knew that if Itachi was standing over him, he probably wouldn't enjoy the pathetic sight. His younger brother. Someone whom he left alive hoping for him to be strong, having betrayed the very village his older brother gave everything up for, and was now in captivity because of it.

Sasuke closed his eyes behind his blind fold finally, and just breathed. Everything hurt. But he supposed it was to be expected. Having been thoroughly beaten to the point where he would be fine short of horrible soreness and the inability to get up without falling right back down. Sasuke remained sitting though, regardless the thought of falling to ones side and just curling up sounded amazing right about now. He refused to seem weak, though he probably already did. He was being watched at all times, he knew that much. He could feel them outside of the locked room. He could hear them sometimes whispering things. Things about Naruto.

Naruto.

The name made his blood boil… Why? Oh, he hated that question. He had no reason as to why he wished the most painful death upon that boy. Why every time he heard his name he wished to commit murder on any living person nearby… There was no reason… Naruto was pure. Innocent. He had done nothing but everything to help and guide him into the right direction since they had met. Yet he couldn't find it in him to look up to that blonde haired hero and apologize for all he had done.

He had visited once since his official capture, and Sasuke hadn't said a word to him, but Naruto always seemed so full of things to say to just about anyone. He talked for a good hour, he was sure of it. "I don't hate you…" He had said, "I'm trying to get you out of here… You're my best friend, not an enemy, regardless of what they say…" So naïve. So fucking naïve. He wondered when the harsh reality of life would come to bite him in the ass… Then again, apparently it had. The death of Jiraya had occurred. Not that he cared, but he knew the relationship between Naruto and his teacher, but he still couldn't think that he had any sort of understanding what he went through… Maybe it was just his Uchiha pride and massive amount of stubbornness he was plagued with.

Sleep hit him like a brick though, incapable of fighting it off any long as he slumped over. He was able to get a few good hours of sleep before he was woken up by sound locks being played with. His eyes flickered open, though it did nothing for his vision, for he was still met with darkness as he rose his head, still, doing nothing for his vision. Someone was in the room. He could feel it. It was silent for awhile though, and it crossed off the possibility of it being a guard. They tended to get right into kicking the shit out of him almost the moment they stepped into the room, this was someone else. He hated to be the first one to break the silence, but it was beginning to get annoying. "…Sakura?" He breathed, voice raspy. God, he sounded horrible, and he hated it.

There was a low chuckle, and immediately he knew who it was. His brows knitted together, and his eyes narrowed behind his blindfold. Kakashi. Was he going to receive visits from everyone he didn't like? Was it a form of punishment? Probably.

"I wasn't sure if you were awake or not." The gray haired jounin breathed, as he leaned back against the opposing wall, folding his arms over his chest. Sasuke looked so low now, opposed to just months prior where the boy might have actually successfully killed Sakura and possibly even himself had Naruto not been successful in intervening in time. A small part of Kakashi was glad Sasuke was alive… Beaten and a prisoner to this village, but alive none the less. He had been so definite in his decision to end Sasuke's life just months ago… But it seemed there was no need now. It was over- he hoped anyways. Sasuke wouldn't be going anywhere anytime soon… Hell, had it not been for Tsunade's closeness to Naruto, and the blonde hero's constant begging and almost crying to her, Sasuke would have just been killed! The Uchiha didn't know how lucky he was…

"I just wanted to pay a visit, regardless I know you're probably detesting my company right now." Kakashi's eyes rolled around the room, eying every wall. It was dirty and cold and Sasuke probably had a cold. He was shirtless and beaten- though he didn't exactly deserve star-treatment. "In fact my visit is probably pointless." Kakashi wasn't sure why he came, he felt like he should stop by, if only once to make sure Sasuke truly was here. Alive. Sakura had yet to even consider coming by… Though he was sure she was still plagued with love for the rouge ninja, after nearly being killed by someone she once found herself so close to… It was sad, really. Kakashi still remembered that first day they all shared together. He would be lying if he said he didn't miss the four of them all together. Teacher and his three students… For a long time he thought they all worked so well together, regardless of the constant fighting and conflicts he found to be plaguing the group. He found himself frowning behind his mask, just the slightest bit, as he eyed the motionless Sasuke, who's head remained raised, but mouth remained closed. Would he ever say anything? He wasn't even looking for an apology or an explanation, he just… Wanted to hear something.

"I guess I just wanted to make sure you're alright." He pushed himself away from the wall he was leaned against and moved to the door, still, Sasuke said nothing, even as he left, closed the door, and allowed the guards to lock it back up.


The end of the overly short chapter. I hate short chapters... But as I said before, it's just to get it started. I promise for lengthier stuff. Please leave your thoughts, opinions, ideas, and love. 3 I can't wait.
