A/N: Hi. I updated, yes. Finally. I'm trying to alternate between the two, Silence and this. But thank you to those who have read it. This story was randomly made, but I hope you guys enjoy it.
Disclaimer: I do not own anything.
This was the first time someone had really been interested in knowing my name. Some of me felt happy.
"Hmm Sasuke."
"What."
"Nothing~ I just wanted to try saying it."
"Don't be stupid."
"Hey Sasuke."
I didn't answer the idiot.
"Oi teme."
I twitched upon hearing that name.
"What do you want dobe."
"Where do you live?"
I sighed. "I don't live anywhere Naruto. I have no home to go to. I don't even belong here."
"That's not true."
I didn't understand. I raised an eyebrow, "What's not true."
"Well.." He gave a nervous grin, "I think everyone belongs somewhere."
"Explain."
"I'm sure..you're here for a reason right. L..like do you have any family?"
"Idiot. Does it look like I have a family. My parents are either dead or working as slaves, and my brother.." I paused. "He got captured."
"Oh.." He gave a sheepish grin and scratched the back of his head. "Well I don't even know who my parents are. And I hope I didn't have any siblings."
"Why would you say that?"
"I don't mean it in a bad way, but it's just easier on me if I know I don't have anyone else to worry about."
I realized how true that was. I constantly think of my brother, bringing sorrow to myself, but he doesn't feel any of that because of the very reason he doesn't have any siblings.
"Ah well! If I did have a brother or sister, I'm sure they were so cute and sweet." He smiled at me.
How does he stay so positive?
Suddenly I remembered where I was.
"Naruto. I can't stay here. I..I have to leave." I didn't want to get caught by the owner of the house.
"Wait why?!" He grabbed my clothing, stopping me from going anywhere as I always have the fear of my clothes ripping.
"Stop grabbing my clothes!"
He let go and mumbled a 'sorry'. I got up to leave, and this time he grabbed my wrist.
"Will you be back?"
I never even thought about that. I wasn't even sure if I could make it back. But something inside of me was wanting me to stay with this fox.
"I'll try."
He gave a wide smile at that. "Good!"
I went around the bushes that covered that window. I could barely see him from under the spaces of the bushes.
"Take care Sasuke!"
I mumbled back, "Take care." And left.
I had no idea if I could actually ever make it back to the blonde. I tried finding a place for me to sleep. My body was aching so much. I needed to find an isolated place or maybe someone will take me in for tonight. But that would only happen if I slept with them. I laughed at myself that I had to think of such options. I don't think I could even handle another round of sex after being raped.
I found a small park near and there were tubes where children climbed in for fun. I had no more options, and I decided to crash in there. I just have to make sure I wake up early enough to leave before anyone comes.
This was my life.
I curled myself inside the small tube and prayed I would get a good rest. The night was always the coldest. I tried curling tighter to keep the warmth inside me, but my clothes didn't do a good job keeping the heat. My body started to shiver, and I forced my eyes shut. I concentrated on the only thing I needed; sleep. I soon felt that blackness welcoming me to my slumber.
The first thing I heard were children's screams ringing in my ear. I bolted up, hitting myself in the process. I forgot I was in a small playground tube. I started to panic. I woke up too late. I scrambled out and I see children screaming at me. Some start throwing nearby rocks at me.
"Go away monster!" I heard a little boy scream.
I tried shielding myself from their attacks and start running from the playground before any parents can actually see me. I'm sure some of them already did though, as I heard parents calling their children's names to come back. Some kids were still following me, but despite my weak body, they were no match for my speed.
I kept running until I hit a wooded area. I continued deeper into the woods until I couldn't see anything but trees. I collapsed on my knees gasping for air. Dry tears stung my eyes and I started to cough.
It took me ten minutes to calm down and catch my breath. I felt something drip on my face, not sweat but blood. One of the rocks must've hit me. It hurts that the fact that even children hate me because of my colour; it means their parents already tainted their innocent minds.
Suddenly I hear my stomach growl. I cursed as I need to find food for myself. I rested my body for about another ten minutes before getting up. There was a place I could always find food, but for a price.
I'm not sure how long it took me to get there, but because of those men chasing I wondered further than I wanted. The only way back that I knew to that 'place' was through the city. So instead, I went around it to avoid any trouble from the humans. I only went to the city to see if there was a better place for me to 'live' in, but I was wrong.
Ah Naruto. It lead me to Naruto. Something inside of me wanted to see that certain blonde again.
After reaching the place I immediately eyed food place were selling on the streets. This place wasn't a haven for hybrids like me. No, it was hell. But it was the only place so far where I could actually find or buy food for myself without others chasing me off. It was also a place where I could earn money, but it was disgusting tasks I don't enjoy.
I dug my hands in my pocket, fishing out the money I had. I frowned as I didn't have much. I also needed new clothes. I knew I didn't have a choice but to look for something to do. I looked at the dirty bulletin board to see the listings of jobs.
A lot of them had to do with sex. I wasn't sure if I could actually handle that, but the obvious answer was that if nothing else came up, I'd have to take one of them.
"Looking for a job?"
The sudden voice startled me and I looked over to an aristocratic looking man who had a gentle smile.
"I am." I tell him.
"Well I think I've got something for you. From the look on your face earlier, I take it that you don't fancy these current jobs. Am I wrong?"
"You're not." I mumble.
"Then how about this?" He hands me a paper and I read it.
"What is this. A demonstration? Of what." I ask him.
"Ah excuse me, I forgot to check something."
He reaches his gloved hand over to me and he touches my lips. I let him continue and he put his thumb between my lips and reveals my white fangs.
"There they are, perfect." He removed his hand from my mouth. "The demonstration is really a lesson on dulling things such as your precious fangs. Ah but don't worry! They will regenerate after a certain amount of time, so there's really no damage to them, only temporarily."
I really didn't want to perform anything sexually, nor did I think my bottom could handle it in its current state and here I was presented with another option.
"How much will you pay me..?" I ask him
"Ah so I take it you're interested? I'm glad, we haven't been able to find a candidate for a while. We'll pay you well my dear friend. Let's say about fifty dollars will do. We'll even let you freshen yourself up with a nice bath and give you clothes to dress you up in."
I was shocked. This was the most amount I've ever encountered. It was very tempting, as I even got new clothes. Sex didn't even sell for that much. At most, you'd get twenty dollars. But at the same time, money went by fast. That's why keeping every penny was important.
"I'll do it." I breathed out.
"Good! We can actually get you ready now."
"I need to eat first. I don't care that it comes out of my pay. I just need to eat."
"Of course little one. We'll find you something to eat. Now come." He started to walk off.
I was used to these rich people scum acting like this. They all act as if they're being generous to our kind but they're just all greedy. They use us for their entertainment, and they take advantage of our bad situations to pleasure themselves. I was used to it.
As I followed him, I look around and not many people are out today. I only see several other black hybrids like me, but that was it.
This place does not have a name. There was no need for one. Greedy rich men and women come here to be enlightened or entertained. It was like a circus for them. We were cheap whores to them. Since they know we need the money and food, we were an easy target.
"Here we are!"
I was brought out of my musings and looked at where we were. It was a big building. He opened the door for me and I stepped in.
Inside was a small stadium like area with cushioned seats in front of it. I guessed that at least a hundred people could fit in there. Soon I was ushered into a different hallway, away from the stage area. I was brought into a different different room.
"First we need to make you presentable. You may use whatever is in the bathroom over there," he pointed to a door, "to get ready. After you're done, come back here and we'll find you new clothing and something to eat."
I made my way to the said bathroom. I carefully took all my coins out of my pocket and checked the others just in case, placing anything I found aside. I peeled my shirt and pants off, happy that I was finally getting rid of these grimy clothes.
I stepped in the shower and turned the water on. I was very grateful that I was able to shower. Usually I would have to find a small pond to wash myself in. It was nice to actually be able to clean myself in a real shower. I grab the soap and start lathering it up all over my body. I then scrub it in with the sponge that was there, not caring if it has been used or not. I scrubbed all the dirt off of me and watched in satisfaction, the dirty water going down the drain. I wash my face as well and made sure I didn't miss any speck of dirt.
I then shampooed and conditioned my hair, leaving a sickenly sweet scent in my hair. I wring my hair out and then step out of the tub. I notice how clean and pale my skin is. The dirt had been caked on me for so long, I didn't even realize how pale my skin actually was. I see a towel hanging on a rack and take the liberty to use it. I dry my hair and body and use the towel to cover my lower half. I take whatever money I had left, as they were the only things worth keeping and stepped out of the bathroom.
I walk back to where we were before and I see a chair and a table with a mirror in front of it. I decided to sit there a wait.
After a couple minutes, the man walked back in.
"Ah! You're done, I've got some new clothes for you."
He handed me two pieces of clothing; a long sleeved shirt and skinny pants, both black in colour. I mumbled a thanks and slipped them on. The pants were a bit tight, but the shirt fitted nicely. He hummed in approval.
"The man who going to file your fangs is here. You two will go on the stage together." A bigger man stepped in, making me have second thoughts about doing this.
"And just to make sure you don't run, we are going to put these on." He held a metal collar with chains connected to it and cuffs.
"Wait, you never said anything about that." I glared at him
"My dear, there's many things I haven't told you. Put it on him." And with that, the rich man left to the stage.
The bigger man stepped up to me and I instinctively took a step back. Something about this situation seemed so wrong, and I wanted out of it. I bolted to the same door we had entered through before, but before I could even make it there, I was knocked down to the floor. I gave a soft grunt.
"You bastards!" I yelled.
"Stay still." The bigger man ordered, an evil grin on his face.
He shut the heavy metal collar on my neck and I heard a lock click in the back where the collar joined together. I tried struggling my way out, but he was just too heavy for me. I felt my wrist being brought to my back and cold metal cuffs applied onto my wrists. He then connected them to the chain on the collar on an uncomfortable angle upwards.
He got off of me and grabbed my arm to lift me up.
"Only I have the key little one, so try to be good and I'll unlock it for you after you're done."
"Fuck you." I spat, and he slapped me. That shut me up.
I could hear that damn rich man announcing something through a microphone.
"That's our cue." He grabbed onto my arm and pulled me onto the stage.
I saw all the seats filled and I felt my ears and tail drop from fear. I didn't want to do this anymore. Why did I agree?!
Everything became silent to me. I could see mouths moving, but no sound came out. Everything became a blur. I felt my chin being grabbed and some metal device was forced into my mouth, keeping my mouth open. Then reality came rushing back to me. I was currently kneeling with my mouth opened uncomfortably wide.
I didn't even bother listening to what they were saying because something else caught my eye. It was a big metal file in the hands of the man. I was lifted onto a chair and they tied my ankles down onto the legs of the chair. The bigger man made me lean back onto the chair. I felt my heart drop and panic rising as the metal file came closer to my mouth. I squirmed around, but a firm hand gripping my chin kept me in place.
The file touched my teeth.
I whined.
And then it happened.
The screeching of the metal rubbing onto my tooth echoed throughout my brain and it wouldn't stop. Excruciating pain exploded onto my teeth. The man rubbed against my tooth so intensely and I could feel little dusts of what used to be my tooth onto my tongue. Tears started to form and fall down my cheek. I screamed in pain as he kept sawing my tooth down. I was too scared to struggle, afraid that he would move the file on accident and hurt me somewhere else. Drool started dripping down from my mouth.
Then he stopped. I opened my eyes that I didn't know were shut and looked at the man, hoping it was over.
It wasn't.
He went through a bag and brought out a different file.
"One more." Was all he said before I started screaming again.
I was reduced to tears when it was done. I slumped back in the chair, not caring if it hurt. My teeth hurt more than anything. That damn aristocrat came back and announced the ending of the 'demonstration'. I didn't pay attention to anything. I just wanted to leave.
I had to wait until everyone had left the seats before they started to release me. My throat was sore from screaming, and my teeth ached so bad.
The bigger man took out the metal gag from my mouth, and I felt so relieved as I try flexing my jaw. I couldn't feel the sharpness of my fangs anymore. The teeth itself were there, but it was as if I had normal teeth. It was a very painfully strange feeling not having the fangs there anymore. I couldn't keep my mouth completely shut because my teeth ached at any contact.
My feet were untied and he forced me to stand up. But I couldn't. I fell down as if my legs were reduced to jelly. He frowned and picked me up instead. I was still crying, but they started to cease. He placed me down on the seat where I sat before all of this happened.
He didn't say anything, and I was grateful for that. He got the key and unlocked my collar and cuffs. I felt free again. I rubbed my wrists weakly and gingerly touched my neck. I wiped at my tears.
"Ah~ that was wonderful!" The man who hired me came waltzing back in. Damn him. "As promised, I'll give you your payment. And forgive me that I didn't feed you before, so I'll give you food for free okay little one?"
He gave me the promised money and a loaf of bread. I totally forgot about the food. I took the given items as if my life depended on it, because it did.
"Can I leave now.." I asked in a hoarse voice.
"Yes, your work is done. You may leave, and perhaps we will see you in the future." He smiled which made me disgusted.
I picked myself up from the ground and stumbled out of the building, as my tail dragged behind me. I was in so much pain. I looked up, and the sky was dark. Just how long was I there for?
I all of a sudden wanted to see Naruto. His positive energy was infectious. I decided to go that I should go around the city again. I needed to find a better path, but that could wait. I dragged myself towards where the blonde lived. I prayed that I wouldn't run into anyone on the way. My stomach rumbled violently, but I didn't care. I needed to get there quick as possible.
I don't even know why I was attached to this blonde. Usually I wouldn't care for others at all. But just something about him made me happy inside. He made me feel like I was worth something.
I kept walking with only one goal in mind.
Naruto.
