A/N: you know what fuck it I give up. My other stories will be updated in due time, but don't worry. I'm super sorry for not updating on them yet and I promise I'll get around to it.

This is one is Sasulee, a bit of Italee later. This one isn't going to be too long though like six chapters at the most.

Apologies spelling, grammar and OOCness.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or any of its characters.

Lee ran down the dark alley, dodging trash cans and scattered garbage as he went. Adrenaline coursed through the boy's veins as he kept pushing on further.

Getting caught isn't an option. The scars on his back still burned from the last time he tried to escape and got caught.

The raven paused to brace his hands on his knees and took a few deep breaths, while his heart pounded in his chest. He'd been running for almost two hours straight, not to mention the miles of thick forest he had to crawl through just to try and lose them.

But it was all worth it if he manages to get away, if he could just manage to find her.

Looking around Lee noticed the loud sound of muffled music coming from one of the building's he was standing between. There was a large steel door on the side of the dirty brick wall and steel fence closing the entrance to the other side of the vacant passage way.

Still taking deep breaths Lee walked over to the fence and stared out to the other side. The boy looped his fingers through the metal barrier as a familiar feeling of sorrow washed over him.

It was so similar to his own cage.

Lee had spent so many years there with him.

It didn't seem so bad at first.

Hiashi found Lee when he was just a child. When no one else cared or even wanted him, Lee was all alone dumped at the side of the road. But the Hyuuga leader found Lee and took him in.

He gave Lee a warm place to sleep, clean clothes and food.

For the first few years the raven didn't even realise that he was being kept in a cage. Didn't know that it isn't normal to be locked up that way, all he cared about was that he finally had someone who took care of him.

Finally someone didn't look at him with disgust or hatred, but with interest and fascination.

So he didn't notice the cage or the collar around his neck or notice how Hiashi never actually touched him. There never seemed a reason to notice these things, sure he wasn't exactly happy but at least he had a home.

That is until Neji.

Lee remembers the day the door of his cage opened and he saw those cold pale eyes for the first time.

The teen looked down at him in surprise first and then his eyes changed into something else that Lee didn't recognise. He stood there silently just looking Lee over while the raven awkwardly stared back with his hands twiddling nervously in front of him.

Then he noticed the other person who had stepped into the cage. A girl with short raven hair stared at Lee with wide eyes, like most people did whenever they saw Lee for the first time.

Only unlike most people she didn't sneer or scowl or glare at him with disgust. The girl walked over to him and introduced herself all while giving a shy smile and stuttering quite a bit with a light blush on her face.

Hinata.

They spent an hour there in Lee's "room" talking quietly while Neji just watched.

Hinata started visiting him every day after that, along with Neji and Lee grew to like her a lot.

The quiet girl always brought some food or sweets that she'd made herself, treating Lee with a kindness and warmth the raven had never experienced before despite her own sadness.

Hinata rarely said anything about it but Lee could tell that she was just as sad as he was. Her eyes burned with heartache, but she always tried to put up a smile for Lee. Eventually though she told Lee everything.

About her father and her place in the Hyuuga family, the girl had an enormous amount of pressure on her and Hiashi's constant abuse didn't help either.

They grew close and Lee started thinking of her as his older sister. She was always there, listening to him, taking care of him. This time he truly wasn't alone anymore.

Until one night.

Hiashi was furious after his daughter committed what he considered to be the ultimate betrayal and Hinata was forced to run away in order to escape his wrath. That night Hinata had snuck into Lee's cage and asked him to leave with her. Begged him to come before it was too late.

But Lee refused.

The Hyuuga's took him in when no one else would, it would be wrong of him to just leave. So he wished her the best and hugged her for a full seven minutes, before she left and disappeared.

The raven let his head rest against the fence and took a deep breath. Oh how Lee wishes he'd left with her when he still had the chance.

Before Neji.

It happened a week later on Neji's eighteenth birthday.

Lee was moved from his cage and taken to a huge room with dark blue sheets and a large four poster bed. The white walls were painted in intricate patterns of black and blue while a desk and chair stood to one side. There was a door against the wall near the bed that led to a bathroom lined with pale blue and white tiles.

Even though the room was beautiful. That isn't what immediately caught Lee's eye.

What caught Lee's eye were was the large cage like bars around the bed and desk leaving about two feet of room between the enclosure and the walls and door.

Apparently his new room.

Lee went inside and sat on the floor just in front of the bed confused as to why he'd been moved there when Neji walked in.

The pale eyed man smiled down at Lee and took his hand, leading the raven to lay down on the bed.

What happened next will be burned in Lee's mind forever.

Neji started kissing him.

Lee almost immediately froze since they were so different from the kisses Hinata used to give him. The pale eyed girl would usually just give him a peck and a hug or hold his hand. Those things made Lee feel warm and loved.

But that's not how Neji did it. The brunette insistently pressed his lips against Lee's while his hands slid over and under Lee's clothes. Causing a feeling of unease to course through him, it felt wrong and uncomfortable, Lee wanted nothing more than for Neji to just stop.

And then Neji moved down to his neck and bit him hard enough to draw blood. The raven gasped and Neji smiled down at him as he started to stroke his hair and whispered.

"Mine."

It happened everyday after that.

Neji would come into Lee's room to 'play'. Lee soon realised why Hiashi had helped him in the first place. What his purpose for living there was.

And he fell into despair.

It was made even worse every time Neji made him moan or purr. He'd hate himself a little more at every sound that left his throat. Every time Neji made him feel 'that' way.

God how he missed Hinata, he should have gone with her. Looking back on things he realised that she's the one who protected him. Lee remembers a few occasions when Neji would arrive in his room and Hinata would get there only seconds later. Out of breath with a slight glare directed at her cousin.

Hinata always made sure to be there whenever Neji was and she'd stay long after Neji had left almost like she knew, like she was the only thing standing between him and Lee.

Almost three years later, Lee finally managed to escape. It took three tries, but this time Lee was sure he made it.

This is the furthest he's gotten so far.

The last two times he got caught just outside the Hyuuga compound in the nearby forest.

Lee gave a deep sigh as he slumped against the fence. The metals cold touch cooled him down somewhat and Lee was starting to feel the sweat on his forehead start to cool and dry when hot breath suddenly hit the back of his neck and the raven froze.

His body tensed further as he was gently spun around and his back pressed against the fence to meet with cold pale eyes.

Neji's cold pale eyes.

Lee's eyes went wide making Neji smirk. The brunette leaned in and gave Lee a kiss, before moving down to brush his lips against the ravens throat.

"Lee, where are you going?"

"Ne-Neji I-"

"I came home and you weren't there," the brunette kissed on a spot just below Lee's skin, making Lee bite his lip to suppress a moan. "I was so worried. You're not trying to leave me are you?"

One of Neji's hands went around Lee's waist while the other went up to Lee's hair, he buried his hand in the raven locks and tightened his hold viciously pulling the boy's head back. Lee gave a mewl of pain and pushed against Neji's chest to try and get some distance between them.

"You wouldn't leave like she did, right Lee?"

"Neji-"

"Remember, you promised you wouldn't leave."

Neji's hold tightened a little more and Lee frantically tried to think of a way to get away when only one possible escape came to mind and the raven silently cursed himself.

"I-I am sorry Neji."

"You're sorry?" Neji pulled the boy against his chest and stared right into Lee's big dark eyes and smiled. "How can I trust you, Lee? You promised not to leave me before remember, how do I know you won't do it again?"

"I am sorry, I will not do it again." Lee inched as close as Neji's restricting hold would allow and whispered against the Hyuuga's lips. "Please forgive me Neji."

"Alright," Neji loosened the hold in Lee's hair a bit and brushed his lips against the ravens as he spoke. "But you're going to have to be punished when we get home."

Lee gave a quick nod and leaned up to seal their lips in a kiss while his hands went around to tangle in the long brunette locks. Neji moaned into Lee's mouth and let his hands trail down to the boy's ass when Lee suddenly kneed the Hyuuga right in his crotch. Forcing him to pull away as the pain rocked through his body, giving Lee the escape he needed.

The raven quickly jumped around Neji's form and ran down the alley when the steel door caught his eye. He pulled at the heavy latch and by some miracle it wasn't locked.

Music instantly roared from the entrance the moment the door opened and Lee quickly slipped inside. Hoping against hope that Neji wouldn't find him, after the stunt he just pulled he didn't even want to think about what the Hyuuga would do if he caught Lee this time.

The raven lifted a hand to his neck to grip the silver lotus pendant around his neck as he made his way down the dark hallway towards the loud music and flashing lights.

The same one Hinata used to wear and gave to him just before she left. If he could only find her, then Lee knows he'd be alright.

All he has to do is find her.

Hinata.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Sasuke was drunk off his ass.

The Uchiha had a lazy smile on his face as he gestured for a refill which he received. Regardless of the fact that the bartender knew the raven had reached his limit, but he figured one more drink couldn't hurt.

Poor bastard needed it, what else do you do when you find out that the love of your life was getting married to someone else.

Sasuke leaned back in his chair as he stared down at the amber liquid in his glass, before letting his eyes drift around to the clubs occupants. A flash of blond caught his eye and Sasuke's head almost snapped back to see who it was.

When the raven got a good look at the blonde girl with brown eyes he groaned and slumped forward over his glass.

Five years of friendship, three years of sexual frustration and four years of being hopelessly in love left Sasuke Uchiha with nothing but the agonizing feeling of heartache.

Naruto, that stupid idiot.

How didn't he notice?

How did he not see how much Sasuke loved him?

Years of attention Sasuke lavished on that moron and what does he do?

Propose to that pale eyed freak with the oversized boobs, that's what.

The music changed to a song with a slower beat and Sasuke gave a sigh. What's worse is he can't even think a bad thing about the girl who stole his blonde without feeling like shit.

Naruto told Sasuke about everything Hinata has been through, what she had to deal with to stay with his best friend until she was finally forced to leave her family for him.

Something that surprised the Uchiha quite a bit.

There were many rumours concerning that family, some which were true and some that weren't. One thing everyone knew though, that was very very true is that no one just leaves the Hyuuga family, it just doesn't work that way. The girl obviously had some major guts to pull a stunt like that and actually succeed.

Meaning she really loved Naruto.

With that final thought the Uchiha threw back his drink and drank it in one gulp, suddenly determined to get over the blond.

And what better way to get over heartache than a drunk roll in the hay with a random stranger.

Sasuke turned back in his chair and let his eyes scan the crowd behind him.

Onyx eyes instantly caught a flash of golden blond and Sasuke glared at the green eyed boy that flashed him a smile.

No blonds.

A redhead walked passed him and Sasuke checked him out, unfortunately the redhead had bright blue eyes and Sasuke immediately hissed.

The last thing he needs is a one night stand with someone who reminds him of the person he's trying to get over.

As his eyes kept raking over the crowd he saw someone walk in from the way of the back entrance looking slightly out of breath and lost.

The boy was obviously too young to be there, seventeen maybe eighteen years old. He had jet black hair and dark eyes, he was wearing a pair of worn out jeans and an old shirt. A little odd to wear to a club but Sasuke didn't pay much attention to that.

What really caught the Uchiha's attention were the two black cat ears on the raven's head and the velvet tail curled around one of the boy's legs.

A costume?

'Weird'

Weird or not, the cat ears and tail coupled with the boys large innocent eyes was enough for Sasuke's libido to persuade him to go for it.

The Uchiha pushed off his chair and away from the bar. His body swayed a bit as he stood in front of the counter until he got a steady footing and walked over to the boy who had turned around to stare at his surroundings.

Once he was standing behind him, Sasuke tapped the boy on his shoulder and he spun around so quickly Sasuke had to fight off the slight effects of dizziness.

The boy's eyes were wide for a second and his ears had gone flat against his head, until he looked into the Uchiha's eyes and almost sighed in relief.

Sasuke raised an eyebrow at that but chose to ignore it for the moment, he's trying to get laid not get this kids life story.

"Hey there kitty." Sasuke growled seductively as he slipped a finger down the boy's jaw, "What's your name?"

The boy hesitated for a second, "My name is Lee."

"Yeah, mine's Sasuke. You new around here?"

"Y-yes." Lee's eyes slid shut when Sasuke's hand slipped up into his hair towards his ears.

Sasuke was only slightly surprised when his hand didn't come into contact with an ear when his hand slipped underneath Lee's hair. Unfortunately he was too drunk to really care.

"Shouldve figured that, I haven't seen you around here before. You out to have some fun?"

"I-uhm..."

"You know this isn't a bad place to start, but I bet I could take you somewhere better." Sasuke leaned in to whisper against one of Lee's ears, still to drunk to care that the boy had actual cat ears or to notice the slight twitching coming from his tail.

"Better?" Lee pulled away from Sasuke and took a step back.

"Much better. My place is back up uptown, you wanna go?"

"I do not-"

"Ah c'mon kitty." Sasuke took a step forward and spoke against Lee's lips. "Don't you wanna play with me? I promise we'll have fun."

"Play?" The boy tensed at the word and Sasuke almost cursed at himself for losing what could have at least been an interesting drunk fuck.

"I am sorry but-" the boy stopped when something behind the Uchiha caught his eye. Sasuke turned to look when Lee suddenly grabbed the sides of his face and started biting his lip.

Tiny white k-9's peaked out from the boys lips and a blush spread over his face, until he quickly moved up to kiss Sasuke full on the lips.

Completely disregarding the weirdness of the situation Sasuke instantly wrapped his arms around Lee's waist and pulled him flush against his body and kissed back, until the need for air came and he smirked down at the blushing boy.

"If you take me away from here, then I will play with you."

"Deal."

The Uchiha wasted no time in taking Lee's hand and heading straight for the exit. Completely missing the look of deep relief that spread over the boys face.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Lee gasped as he was roughly shoved up against the wall as the man in front of him tugged off his shirt and tossed it aside. The man who's name Lee learned was Sasuke instantly moved to wrap Lee's legs around his waist before leaving sloppy kisses down the boy's chest.

Sasuke's movements were slow and clumsy, but not completely unfamiliar. Lee remembers a few occasions when Neji barged into his room in the middle of the night, muttering in slurred sentences and behaving in the same way. Sasuke kind off smelled the same as well.

Lee's nose scrunched up when the odd smell filled his nose as Sasuke kissed him. It's the same smell that drowned the room in the odd building where he met Sasuke.

The boy briefly wondered if Neji had been there as well.

Sasuke moved away from the wall and back towards the bed, falling onto the mattress with the boy beneath him. Lee groaned at the impact and tried to move so he was at least a little more comfortable under the man above him.

Sasuke kicked off his shoes and gave Lee a lazy grin as he started taking off his own clothes, before moving down to nip at Lee's jaw. "Ready to have some fun kitty?"

Lee bit his lip and gave a nod as he wrapped his arms around Sasuke's neck. He already knows how this works, with Neji it's usually best to cooperate early on in order to avoid any unnecessary pain. Although Sasuke didn't seem half as rough as he was.

The man smirked and gave Lee a deep kiss while his hands fumbled with the zipper of his pants and pulled them off. Sasuke moved from his lips to the side of Lee's neck, gently sucking at his skin and pulling a moan from the boy.

Sasuke chuckled at the sound, "I wonder how long it takes me to make you purr."

Lee's cheeks flushed and the raven stared up at the ceiling, trying to prepare himself for what would be coming soon when Sasuke just stopped and his weight suddenly doubled as he dropped right on top of him.

And the room became completely silent.

"I-is everything alright?"

...

...

"Sasuke?"

The man didn't move or say a word, Lee blinked and started pushing at the older's shoulders until he finally managed to push Sasuke off and onto his back. The boy sat up on his knees and started poking the man beside him until a low grunt came from the mans form followed by deep steady breaths.

"Is it over?"

Lee's head tilted to the side and he realised that the man had fallen asleep, the neko's tail swished from side to side and his ears twitched slightly as he stared down at Sasuke's sleeping form.

Lee was somewhat surprised that someone as handsome as Sasuke would take such a quick liking to him. Lee remember's people being a lot less friendly when they met him for the first time, before he started living with the Hyuuga's.

But he wasn't about to complain.

The boy took in his surroundings for the first time since Sasuke took him back to his home. The whole trip there is kind off a blur. Lee couldn't remember much except for Sasuke's car moving much too fast as it swerved down the road and the boy only recalled a glimpse of the door man who had gaped and stared at him as Sasuke dragged him through the foyer up to his apartment.

And once they'd made it inside well... Sasuke didn't really give him a chance to look around before he stared to 'play'.

But from what Lee could remember from outside the building and the bedroom he was sitting in, Sasuke obviously had a lot of money. Maybe even just as much as the Hyuuga's did.

Lee went to take off the rest of Sasuke's clothes before moving the bed's sheet out from under him and over his sleeping form. Lee let out a long yawn, suddenly aware of his own exhaustion and crept in next to Sasuke.

The raven shut his eyes and felt the sleep start to take him in as he gripped the pendant around his neck and gave a sigh. After three years he finally managed to get away, Lee never has to see Neji again.

He was safe.

Well as safe as he could hope to be with this stranger. Lee only hoped that Sasuke would let him stay long enough so he could find Hinata. At this point he has nowhere else to go and living out on the street it won't take long for Neji to find him again. Lee needs a place to hide, just for a little while. Just until he finds her.

A/N: yeah weird chapter ending I know, please review.
