Hello people. This account is shared. I, Bista, am the one that (apparently) uploads chapters. This story, however, is completly done by my partner Mali. Enjoy.

Sorry about that beginning sort of thing. I was typing with one hand since I was talking to my partner on the phone. Okay, for those who aren't familiar with this account, this is a shared account. I, the Bista part of the pen name, am the more technical one and I'm the one that uploads the chapters, stories, etc. For this story, my partner, the Mali part of the pen name, does everything for this story. I just edit it. The plot is her's, not mine, and I have no clue what's going to happen in this story. For more details on how our account works, visit our profile.

Anyway, enjoy the story! Oh, and if you have any questions at all, drop me/us a line.

Note: We do NOT own Naruto, or any of it's characters. I don't even own the plot though; Mali does.

Chapter 1:

A Decided Fate

He was frightened, the metal chains bounding him to Orochimaru's prison wall clanged as he tried to move into a more comfortable position. Sasuke shivered as he tried to look at his settings but all he could see was a black emptiness.

"How the heck did I end up here! What happened? Where am I? Ow, my entire body hurts so much!"

"Hello Sasuke-kun," said a dark voice intruding the silence as Orochimaru flicked on a light.

"What? Why are you here?" Sasuke demanded as the Snake approached him, giving Sasuke that feeling of doom as if he would never see the outside world again.

"Now, now Sasuke-kun, is that any way to treat someone who is willing to teach you how to kill Itachi?"

"What?"

----------------------------------------------

Kakashi-sensei, where's Sasuke?" asked the blonde. "I haven't seen him all day; is he still sleeping?"

"Yeah, I haven't seen him since last light either," added a worried looking Sakura.

"I don't know, I was about to ask you guys the same thing. I went into his house and he isn't there. His bed is made and there is nothing out of place, so there's not a single thing that shows signs of a fight. Frankly, I don't know where he could possibly be," Kakashi sighed, he was now starting to get worried about his raven haired student.

"Where could he be? He would've told somebody on the squad that he wouldn't be able to come to the training grounds but still, I don't think Sasuke would miss training. Come to think of it, the only time he was when he was in the hospital. Where is he? Wait, could it be…"

"Oh no," Kakashi whispered to himself. "I have to go… um… well, that's not important. Just tell Hokage-sama that I've gone to go find Sasuke, okay?"

And without waiting for an answer he disappeared in a puff of smoke leaving a confused Naruto and Sakura to deliver his message.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The Snake grabbed Sasuke around the neck and looked him dead in the eye, Sasuke's cursed seal immediately flaring as it did when ever Orochimaru stared at him like this. The pain only intensified when Orochimaru preformed a few hand signs and placed his palm against Sasuke's neck removing Kakashi's seal and setting new one. Sasuke screamed in pain, then fainted. His body span in infinite pain.

"Hello Kakashi-kun," greeted the Snake, not even bothering to look around.

"What the heck did you do to Sasuke!" Kakashi yelled but in reality he knew exactly what Orochimaru had done; he had raped him.

"Well, well I didn't expect you to see you so soon Kakashi. I just 'played' with him. You can take him now. I'll need him to mature more before I can do anything else to him. He satisfied me enough today; I indeed want him."

Kakashi glared at the Snake and realized it would do no good. What was done was done. Orochimaru had raped Sasuke, got away with it; Sasuke had satisfied him enough for the Snake to want him, well not him, but his body and his Sharingan.

"Don't try taking my seal off or Sasuke-kun will die. Oh yes, by the way, you can't see the seal so don't try putting another seal over it or, well, I think you know the consequences."

Orochimaru vanished into thin air leaving Kakashi alone with his unconscious student. Kakashi went over to where Sasuke lay and put a hand on his forehead; he had a very high fever. Sasuke stirred and looked up at his sensei.

"Kakashi?" he muttered weakly. "Where am I?"

"Never mind that. Can you get up?" Kakashi asked. "Why doesn't Sasuke remember where he is?"

"Umm… I'll try."

After three attempts of getting up he still hadn't succeed. On the fourth he had turned pale, too pale for Kakashi's liking.

"Okay Sasuke, I'm going to carry you so just hold on tight to me okay?"

A head nodded and Sasuke grabbed on to his sensei and teleported into Kakashi's apartment where he laid Sasuke on his futon.

"Try to go to slee..." but before he could finish Sakura and Naruto burst through the door.

"What happened?" asked a bewildered Sakura.

Kakashi then shushed her.

"Yeah, Kakashi-sensei what's wrong with Sasuke?" Naruto asked in a quiet voice.

"Umm… do you mind me telling them Sasuke?"

"No" replied Sasuke weakly.

"Okay, well Sasuke has been… been…"

"Been what!" yelled Naruto.

"Be quiet Naruto!" hushed Sakura.

"Well this is kind of awkward to say so please forgive me if it takes a while to say." Kakashi hated admitting to these kinds of things. It made him feel stupid and embarrassed.

"Hurry up!" whispered a very paranoid Naruto.

"Fine you want to know what happened!" yelled Sasuke making all three of his comrades look up in surprise. "If you really want to know, which I'm sure you don't, I'll tell you!"

"Tell us"

When Sasuke replied his voice dropped and octave and turned into something almost quieter than a whisper.

"I was raped"

Naruto's and Sakura's mouths dropped in disbelief as Sasuke told them. There was a long silence until broken by Kakashi.

"Let's let Sasuke sleep."

"Fine," Naruto coldly agreed but didn't take his eyes off his friend. Then he asked, "He must have wanted something from you; what was it?"

"I… I don't know," Sasuke admitted. At that very moment his cursed seal activated.

"Sasuke, are you okay?" Sakura screamed. She had forgotten that Sasuke had the cursed seal. "Kakashi-sensei sealed it off though. For a year nothing has happened so why the sudden change?"

"Can you do anything?" Naruto asked fretfully, still wondering what the heck happened to his friend.

Kakashi shook his head. He couldn't do anything but try to help Sasuke back up onto the couch. Right then, Sasuke doubled over in pain, his right knuckles turning white as he squeezed his left shoulder where the cursed mark had surfaced. It turned red and started protruding out of its original position. He wasn't yelling anymore but was lying face down on the floor shaking uncontrollably. Kakashi took that as a sign that the pain had died down a bit but something was wrong. Sasuke couldn't yell; Truth be told he was having trouble breathing.

"Are you okay?"

"I'm…fine…" Sasuke wheezed.

"Are you sure?" Sakura questioned.

Sasuke started coughing violently. When the first spasm stopped Kakashi rested his palm against Sasuke's brow; his fever was higher than before and that's when Sasuke had his second spasm. This one was much longer and hurt his lungs far worse than before. He tasted something in his mouth, a taste he had tasted only too many times; the sickening taste of blood.

"Sasuke, you're coughing up blood!" shrieked Sakura.

"We need to get you to the hospital right away!" Kakashi said suddenly, taking charge of the situation being he was the only adult around and the other two looked too dumb stricken to be able to do anything. At this rate Sasuke was sure to die from lack of blood.

"No, really I'm #cough# fine."

But against all his pleads that he was fine the other three completely ignored him.

At that time Sakura wished more than ever that she had worked harder in Medical Ninja treatments. Then maybe she might have learned how to stop her precious Sasuke from fainting due to blood loss. She just felt terrible about it but then it wasn't her fault anyway, was it? Somehow that reassured her.

They had to teleport Sasuke to the hospital because they couldn't very well go out in the middle of January with an unconscious Sasuke dripping blood from his pervious wounds from Oto, covered in blood, still coughing up his life liquid, still in pain from the cursed seal.

"What's wrong with him?" Naruto wondered as he ran to the hospital because he, unlike Sakura and Sasuke, couldn't figure out to go teleport right.

Whenever he tried he would end up somewhere opposite of where he wanted to go. For example he wanted to be in training ground 3 but ended up in the Academy in front of Iruka's class totally embarrassed when one of the students out did him in teleporting to the other side to the classroom. The kid did it perfectly while Naruto ended up out side the window much to his dismay.

"Why am I thinking about this? This isn't important. It's not my fault that I am literally unable to teleport!"

When Naruto finally got there Sasuke was unconscious and had a breathing mask on. No one knew exactly what happened to him but they thought it was the fact that (Sakura, Naruto and Kakashi had not figured out) Sasuke had several broken bones three of which were his ribs. One of the ribs had punctured a hole into his let lung.

"What did I miss?" announced the blonde after forcing the door open making Kakashi give him an icy stare.

Naruto knew something was wrong with the Uchiha but he had never in all his life imagined this.

"Well for one, his left lung is punctured and will need to be operated on." Naruto replied with a small noise that just meant for Kakashi to continue. "Further more when Orochimaru… raped him he gave Sasuke a needle that poured a slow reacting poison into his blood stream and, well, Hokage-sama doesn't know how to take it all out without killing him because it's already spread though most of his blood. They'd have to operate and Sasuke would only have a 50/50 chance of living without dying from blood loss which brings us to the point that Sasuke almost died from blood loss already. In another half hour he would have died but as it is he's lucky to be alive."

"Well is there anything else?" asked Naruto trying ever so hard not to let his jaw drop to the ground.

"Sakura's really taking all this out on herself being she's training to be a Medic-nin. I have only one more thing to tell you. This may be a little shocking to hear." This time when Kakashi started to finish he sounded despondent and his one visible eye was closed as if he were in mental agony to say something he really hated to say. "Sasuke-kun…"

"Huh? What's the horribly bad news and since when have you called him Sasuke-kun?"

Kakashi didn't bother answering but just paused for what seemed like an entirety.

"Sasuke-kun is… is… go ask Sakura about it," Kakashi finished.

Naruto looked out into the hall where he saw a weeping Sakura crying into her knees.

"Sakura-chan, are you ok?" Sakura didn't answer. "Kakashi-sensei told me to come and ask you what is going to happen to Sasuke."

At this Sakura looked up, her eyes pink from crying. She firmly shook her head and slowly answered.

"I… I… can't… I just can't…" She was trembling and couldn't finish her sentence.

Naruto walked back over to Sasuke's hospital room and told the silent man sitting beside Sasuke's beside that Sakura couldn't tell him. Reluctantly Kakashi turned his head toward the blonde. For the first time, since the death of the 3rd Hokage, Naruto could see his sensei with tears of sorrow welling up inside his one visible eye.

"Well nobody knows how this happened but Sasuke has a rare disease of Numa-ultra-micro-scopic-cillacoval-capricornus-con-icone-e-osus." Naruto blinked at the long word. "It means that Sasuke is losing the will to hold on to life and is practically killing himself. Nothing we say will change what will happen. As this process goes on he won't feel any different nor will he start getting any thinner. He'll just die, partly from the poison since as you know we can't remove all of it and party because he'll just give up on life."

"What!" Naruto asked in disbelief of what he had just heard.

"The Medical Ninjas figure that since he's 15 now he should live to about 25, 30 at the oldest. Well, that is if he doesn't die from his cursed seal or in a mission."

"He only has 10 to 15 years left!"

"Yeah, and we are not allowed to tell him about his fate either. Those are strict ORDERS!" Kakashi didn't know why he was lashing out at Naruto. "Sorry," he mumbled. "There's one more thing. While Sasuke was with Orochimaru the Snake took off my seal. He put on one of his own making sure that if I tried to seal it again that Sasuke would die. As I'm sure you know his cursed seal causes him great pain as you saw earlier. If he puts too much strain on himself and allows his cursed seal to activate he will die at an age of 20 or in 5 years. Sasuke's unconscious and won't wake up unless he finds something that's worth living for. He's already half dead. If he can't find that reason he'll go into a permanent comma and Hokage will be forced to… to…"

"To do what Kakashi-sensei!" Naruto impatiently asked. Kakashi took a deep breath and said.

"They'll be forced to kill him…"
