Sorry for the late. I'm really busy now. I just had my school's orientation and now I have an orientation time for organization and clubs which gives me so many tasks. Sigh. And yet, my teachers give many tasks too. Life can't be more tiring.

Chapter 3: Sometimes When We Touch

But sometimes when we touch

The honesties too much

And I have to close my eyes and hide

I want to hold you till I die

Till we both break down and cried

I want to hold you till the fear in me subsides

Naruto woke up in the morning. Or he thought it was morning. It had been three days since Kabuto caught him. After he told Sasuke about Konoha, the Uchiha came twice with his underlings. They beat Naruto while Sasuke watched.

Naruto's wounds were still there. Each time they started to heal, Sasuke's underlings came and made them opened again. He couldn't move a bit without pain. But he felt relieved Sasuke didn't ask anything more. He knew that he can't keep anything to Sasuke if Sasuke used that method.

Naruto started to wonder about what Orochimaru had said before, the snake master said Sasuke was very cruel. Maybe it was because that method. Sasuke used it to the prisoners to get information from them.

Naruto felt pain on his chest that unrelated with the wounds. To think that Sasuke had done it with other peoples made him hurt. He wanted the Uchiha for him self. But it wasn't possible, Sasuke thought him as a toy, nothing more.

Toy.

He kept repeating it on his mind after Sasuke said it. He thought about Sasuke he met at the ramen stand and Sasuke who threatened him. Which one was the real Sasuke?

The door opened, revealed Sasuke and his underlings. 'Speak of the devil.' Naruto thought, he swore on his mind.

oOo

Team 7 stood in front of Hokage. Sai looked down at his feet, Kakashi showed apology, while Sakura simply cried. Tsunade closed her eyes. This definitely was a dream, wasn't it? She looked at team 7 and said with shaky voice, "Are you sure of this? After all Naruto is one of the best chuunin, he can't be caught that easy. He just can't."

Kakashi looked at her with sympathize. He knew how Tsunade loved Naruto as her own son. "I'm sorry, Hokage-sama."

Sakura launched herself to Tsunade. She hugged her teacher tightly. "I'm sorry, Hokage-sama... Sob... It was my mistakes... Sob. I was supposed to be with him. Sob." Sakura cried at her teacher's lap. She had thought her as her mother since Tsunade taught him as medical ninja.

Tsunade patted Sakura's head. She smiled motherly, "It's not your fault, Sakura. We'll find him soon."

Tsunade rang the bell on his desk. The door opened and Shizune entered the room and bowed at Tsunade, "What is it, Tsunade-sama?"

"Call Yamanaka Ino and Moegi." Tsunade told her. Shizune nodded and went out. Tsunade patted her student head. "We'll find him." she said, although she was likely said it to herself.

In minutes Moegi and Ino entered the Hokage office. They bowed at Tsunade. The godaime nodded in acknowledgement. "I got new mission for you two."

The girls nodded. Ino gave confused glance to Sakura who sat on the floor with her head on Tsunade's laps, and Moegi looked around, obviously searching her former leader.

"I need you to spy at Otogakure." the Hokage sighed, "They caught Naruto. You have to search where they keep him."

Moegi gasped. Her eyes widened, "No way!"

Tsunade looked away. She tried to hide the tears she held. "You'll go tomorrow. Kakashi, give them all information you know about Oto. Dismissed."

Kakashi bowed and went out, followed by Ino and Moegi. Sakura stood. She glared at Tsunade, "Why did you choose them? Do you think Sai and me don't strong enough?"

Sai walked closer to the Hokage. "It's true, Hokage-sama. We have been there, we can do better."

"I have no doubt of your strength. But they are the best for this task, their abilities suit well with spying task." Tsunade said seriously, "Besides, I have to prepare for the worst."

Sakura frowned, "What do you mean?"

The Hokage shook her head, "Nothing. You both dismissed."

Sai took the pink-hair's hand and bowed to Tsunade before went out.

Tsunade sighed. 'I'm sorry Sakura, Sai. I'm sure Orochimaru will do anything to get all information from Naruto. I know they really love Naruto. I can't let them see what Orochimaru possibly has done to him.'

She clenched her fist as tears rolled to her cheek.

oOo

Naruto felt tired. He missed his bed in Konoha. All he wanted to do was lying. But the chains were still keeping him on the wall.

He sighed in frustration. His mind landed on his friends. 'Sakura, I wonder if she misses me. I miss her a lot. She's like a sister for me. Sai, I miss his insults. Can we meet again? I hope he'll take care Sakura for me. I'll kill him if he ever hurts her. Kakashi-sensei, Ero sennin, I miss their pervertness for the first time. And Baa-chan I never knew I'll ever miss her punch. I miss them all! Iruka-sensei and ramen, neji, lee, kiba, hinata, tenten, shino, shizune, ojii-san in Ichiraku. I miss ramen!'

Naruto closed his eyes in tired. 'I'm tired. Sleepy... Want... To sleep...' Slowly he fell asleep.

Naruto woke up when he heard someone entered the dungeon. 'Sasuke.' he thought bitterly as he saw flash of raven hair. He closed his eyes pretended to sleep. He felt Sasuke walked closer to him. He prepared for the worst.

Naruto was expecting Sasuke's fist. But all he felt was a gentle touch on his cheek. He felt his heart pounded faster. He didn't dare to open his eyes, he was afraid Sasuke will come to his usual behavior if he opened his eyes.

Naruto felt every stroke of Sasuke's touches. For what seemed like eternity, he pushed himself to not open his eyes. God, how he really wanted to touch Sasuke. He wanted nothing but to look at Sasuke's eyes. The eyes with passion he saw when he met Sasuke at the ramen stand.

Sasuke caressed Naruto's cheek gently. He stroke Naruto's hair carefully, not wanting the blond to wake up. Seconds passed.

Naruto pretended to sleep. It was becoming harder with every touch from the raven. 'God, please don't let me suffering like this...'

I want to touch you

I want to feel you

I want to look at you

Naruto tried his best to stay still. He tried to not think about Sasuke and how good the touches felt. And at last, he felt the warm hand lifted from his face.

Naruto was ready to sigh in relief. But what he didn't expect was a pair of soft lips on his forehead.

Sasuke leaved the confused blond with a loud bang at the door.

Naruto carefully opened his eyes, showing hint of sadness and frustration on his cerulean orbs. A word escaped from his lips,

"Sasuke..."
