Wow. I'm starting to lose my touch. Sorry this one is so late. At first I was basically stuck because this wasn't as long as I expected this installment to be, so I tried to fake my way through. And then I just gave up and posted it as it was, since I had nothing left to add without ruining the outline I had already set up. So don't kill me if this is really, really short. I've got school to deal with in a few days so don't get your hopes up about having some semblence of consistency with my installments. My masochistic ways have influenced me to take many advanced courses this year which will drown me in homework and will also mean my social life and leisure time will be nonexistent. Oh, and since no one took me up on my offer of sending me lemon and/or lime rated material, you have to cope with my hideous lime within here. You have no one to blame but yourself...and perhaps my Health teacher for scarring me with enough horrible diagrams within her class to write it that badly.

Chapter 3: Criminal Deception

Naruto sighed for what was most likely the 5th time in the last half an hour. Ever since he had come here, he felt like he had fallen out of place, like a fish out of water and stuck in an oasis that was surrounded by a scorching desert. It was like barely being able to survive, and yet one wrong move would make your death imminent. Part of him was upset to realize that he couldn't enjoy this devil-may-care life anymore like he use to, and the other part was upset that it only took 4 years to break him out of his old ways.

It's called growing up, brat. It's kind of like puberty, everyone goes through it no matter what. Some are earlier than others and some are just late bloomers. Be lucky though, because late bloomers always end up getting good compensation for the wait...if you know what I mean...

Naruto snorted at his perverted mentor's (1) words that had suddenly popped into his head and then sighed once again.

"God dammit! Can you stop with the fucking sighing!? It's a little distracting and as you can see, I'm trying to play a fucking video game over here!"

"Don't blame him, Tayuya. He's been sighing forever. You just suck at playing video games-OW!"the boy next to her said chuckling, but he stopped when she threw the controller at his head.

"Tayuya and Kidomaru, cut it out! We're getting a headache from your bickering!" another said, setting down his book for a minute.

"Still using the 'royal we' Sakon?" his twin asked from his bean bag on the floor.

"Shut up and go back to your game" he snapped back as his brother.

"Just because you died first doesn't mean you have to be a sore loser about it"

"Screw you, Ukon!" Sakon yelled, picking up a handful of chips and chucking them at him. He ducked just in time and so they hit Tayuya and Kidomaru instead.

"Hey! I'm still playing a god damn game over here!" she bellowed.

"Don't you mean losing?" Kidomaru asked smirking. He never expected her to launch out of her seat and try to pummel him to death. Ukon watched them and laughed, while Sakon just rolled his eyes and began to read his book again. Naruto took this as his chance to slip out before anyone noticed. But what he forgot was that there was one person missing from their group.

"Where are you going?" Jirobo asked when they bumped into each other in the doorway. In his arms were bags of different snacks and a few liters of soda, most likely all for himself.

"I've gotta drain the anaconda. Is that alright with you?" he asked sarcastically.

"Anaconda huh? If you're bragging so much about it, then why don't I see if it's true or not. You sound like you might need some extra help taking care of it" Sakon said licking his lips.

"Not that kind of drain, Sakon. For that, we use the wonders of cyber-technology, code named x-rated goodness"

"My offer still stands. Stop by whenever your wrists start to hurt too much. I can tell you'll be most appreciative of my skills and experience" he said smirking.

"I'll pass. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got to go take a leak before I am forced to mop these floors. Later!" he said before running out of the room. As soon as he was far enough away, he let out the shudder he had been holding in.

'That look in his eye...it looked like he didn't even care that I said no. Well for once, I am glad the doors to our rooms lock at night. He'd probably come in and rape me in my sleep' Naruto thought recalling that scene.

He then took a few deep breaths trying to calm himself down. After that, he went wandering down the halls, looking for any type of clue. He found nothing, and decided to go further into the hideout. He had been told that this place was a former rehabilitation center for anorexic people. Because of this, it was basically structured into 5 different areas. It had the entrance where they use to check the people and lock up whatever they came with, accommodations set up for the good ones, and the ones in need of close supervision, as well as the therapy rooms and mini hospitals, which he was looking for right now. He had just come from the leisure area which was located in the middle of everything.

The plus and negative to this whole ordeal was that he had no idea where he was going because they never gave a tour. It was common sense that the layout was to be kept a secret at all costs. Since newcomers were usually hesitant, they'd be too scared to go off on their own and explore, meaning that they wouldn't accidentally stumble upon something they weren't suppose to see. Especially when this gang was notorious for trying to develop new drugs and always were experimenting on humans. Who knew what kind of creepies you might see wandering around the place. He would admit that he nearly lost his lunch the first time he had to sit and watch them conduct their experiments. He had a feeling they chose the grossest one there, just to see his reaction as to whether or not he'd run to the cops...too bad they didn't know he was one. But that didn't mean he wasn't phased by the event. Infact, he didn't get a decent night's sleep for a week.

He was looking for one of their leader's most recent "breakthroughs" involving genetic mutation. Their leader was like a mad scientist and liked to pick up people off the street to experiment on, since no one would ever be looking for them. On the plus side, he made sure they were in excellent medical condition before he did, meaning he'd attend to all of their medical needs so that they were the epitome of perfection first. But when he found himself in a breakthrough he had to test it in bulk , which meant he would use whatever he could find and hope that they survived. So whoever lived and gave him the outcomes he was looking for, were the characteristics he'd look for on the when he went back to the streets later on when he wanted to do further research. Naruto's goal for today, was to find out where he kept these people and see what they were doing.

"Hello? Is anyone here? I think I'm lost" he called out through the hallway. When no one answered he knew that it was safe to continue without being caught. He walked down the hallway, noticing a few stretchers laying along the walls and knew he had come to the right wing. After realizing that, he almost let out a whoop for joy, but stopped himself when he remembered that it would give away his location. That also reminded him what his reason for being down there was, and so he went looking through the clipboards full of research. Picking up the nearest clipboard from the basket hanging off of each door, he looked through it carefully.

Description: Male 6ft 5in, eyes brown, hair gray (2)

Age:30

Medication: C.U.R.S.E 100 mg (3)

Observation: patient reacted mildly, showing signs of agression, mental stability questionable, has C.U.R.S.E mark level 1

He was puzzled as he read through it but those portions were the ones that stuck out the most. He was no scientist or doctor but he now knew that they were giving people shots of things called "Curse". He just had to find out what it was. In some reports it was mentioned that fur or horns started to grow out of the patients so he also knew it had something to do with fusing animal parts to humans. As soon as he saw how much time had passed, he quickly putting the things away. He had been gone for nearly a half an hour and he had no doubt that someone had noticed and might have even gone searching for him. Instantly retracing his steps, he walked out of that wing and back to the hall he started from. But in the process, he bumped into someone causing him to fall on the floor.

"Kyuubi-kun! What on earth are you doing here?" the older man asked in surprise. Naruto groaned inwardly, cursing his luck. The only thing that could have made this matter worse was if his boss had found him wandering the halls instead.

"I understand how you guys feel it's unnecessary to give tours around here because they should learn on their own but seriously, you could at least point out the nearest bathrooms. I tried to remember where I saw it last time, but I think I took a wrong turn somewhere. Thank god you came! Otherwise I might have just run around the entire place looking for a flower pot and ended up even more lost" he said grinning sheepishly.

"Well I guess you have a point. We should point out the restrooms, but why didn't you go with someone?"

"The usual. Tayuya and Kidomaru were entertaining Ukon with their fighting. Jirobo was eating and Sakon...let's just say I don't particularly want to be alone with him anywhere"

"Well that's interesting. He's never paid that much attention to a newcommer. It must mean he likes you. Let me show you to the bathroom so you can get back to them. They must be getting worried about you"

'I'll bet they are' he thought sarcastically.

Though Kabuto didn't know it, the entire time he lead Naruto back, the said blonde-turned-red was memorizing all of the ways to get back do he could find a new direction to get "lost" from. This place was set up like a poorly made pentagon shaped building, with the lounge area that Naruto had come from, being smack dab in the middle. So all he had to do was walk out a few of the right doors, and he'd end up back where the experiments were. The odd thing was that Kabuto took him to the nearest bathroom to them, instead of the one nearest the lounge so he "would know where it was" or some excuse like that. Actually, the more he thought about it, nothing here was pointed out to anyone. Not even on a "desperately needed to know" basis. So now, he quickly needed to find out why Kabuto was brining him here.

He walked into the bathroom, secretly taking looks around for any kind of weapon that could be used, but found none. He noticed that there were just 6 places to do your business and 3 happened to be urinals, along with another 3 sinks to clean up in. he didn't let his guard down though, and that proved he wasn't paranoid because after he stepped inside, Kabuto followed behind him for some reason.

"Hope you don't mind the company. I was heading this way myself, when I found you" he said chuckling lightly. Naruto knew instantly it was a lie because taking the way that they had used to get here, he would have passed by a bathroom long before he even found Naruto. Kabuto was obviously suspicious of him and so the best option was for Naruto to play dumb to everything.

"Sure man. We're both guys, right? And since you're not acting all shifty and weird, I know I can stand here and do my business in peace without worrying about any funny stuff that might happen. I gotta be careful sometimes because there are guys out there that always try to feel me up or get some while, I'm in the john" he said casually. As he stepped to wards the urinal he felt Kabuto watching him out of the corner of his eyes, even though anyone one else wouldn't be able to tell from the glare that his glasses made from the light. Because of this he had to overdo his entire bathroom procedure to make it seem like he was at ease. And so down went the ants and underwear. He was lucky that his sacred tie was wrapped around his belt loop and tucking into his pocket like a makeshift sash on his jeans. Now all he had to do was force himself to pee, which worked out quite well if he imagined a waterfall...and him falling down it. The way Kabuto looked as he did his business, showed that he had passed whatever test he was giving him with flying colors.

'And those dumb drill sergeants said having fears would get me killed. I wonder what they'd say if they found out it saved my life' he thought chuckling mentally.

"So Kyuubi-kun, I hear you like to write to someone in your spare time" he began casually.

'Nosy little asshole' he thought darkly. Then he smiled and recited his well rehearsed excuse.

"Yeah, about that...I know you all have your privacy needs and totally understand that. But I kind of have to send a letter to my cousin every once in a while. He use to be a part of the old gang and well...everyone knows it was just two of us who came out alive...after that, he got something called a traumatic stress disorder (4). So when I left a few years ago, he was about to spazz out and so his psychiatrist said said it'd be good to keep in touch with him so he didn't get worried about me. It's okay because he thinks I'm at an amusement park two states over...I don't really know what he'd do if he found out that I was back to my old ways. But you can't really change a person, can you?" he said, making sure his voice got softer during the middle.

"No Kyuubi-kun. You really can't" he said cryptically.

"Kabuto! You're back rather early. Have all the tests died again?" a silky voice asked with a slight pout.

No. I actually never made it down there Orochimaru-sama"

"Oh? And why is that?" he asked curiously.

"I ran into Kyuubi-kun on the way there. He said he had gotten lost trying to find the bathroom"

"Did he take anything?" Orochimaru asked, suddenly with a serious tone.

"No. I looked and he didn't have anything, nor was anything out of place by the look of it. Should I go fingerprint the clipboards?"

"No. that will not be necessary. He will speak to his contact in due time. Watch him closely"

"He told me he has to write to his cousin so that he does not worry about him"

"That's so kind of him. We should invite him over for a little get together. Perhaps we can even make room for him to stay...unless we can't fit anyone else. That will be all Kabuto" he purred before shooing the man away.

"Yes, Orochimaru-sama"

Later on that night, when it was time for the lights to be turn off and everyone was locked into their respective rooms for the night, Naruto laid awake and thought about all that he had discovered that day.

'C.U.R.S.E...what the heck does that stand for? It's probably some kind of drug since they're sticking it into people. But what is the "mark" part?' he thought staring at the ceiling from his position on his bed. He then flipped so that he was upside down and only his legs were still on the bed while the rest of his body hung off of it.

'Man...if Sasuke were here, he'd probably know what it meant and then call me an idiot for not finding out on my own' he thought chuckling. But after that thought, he went in search of the infamous tie he had been holding on to ever since he came here, and strung it around his neck. It was as if the very presence of that tie made him slip into a powerful sleep, filled with dreams of his lovely raven, doing very naughty things to him.

Warning: Really crappy lime coming up. Skip ahead to the bottom if you will not be able to take it

Some time in the wee hours of the morning, the locked door clicked open and two people walked in the room, unbeknownst to the sleeping occupant of the room. One pulled out a needle full of something, and stuck it into the boy's bicep. The effects started to kick in long before he even had enough time to notice and react to it, and so he remained asleep. Then after all of it's contents had been injected, the mysterious visitor pulled it out and brushed some of the red locks (5) out of the now uncoscious boy's face.

"Did we volunteer to do this just so you could molest him in his sleep?" the other asked in annoyance.

"Just shut up and search the damn room already!" the person snapped back. Then they both started to look around the room for notes, by opening up the drawers and looking under the bed and such. Suddenly, the second intruder pulled the drawer he was looking at out too far, and it dropped spilling all of it's contents on to the floor.

"Gees Ukon! Can you be any louder?"

"Well if he didn't make those weird grunts and moans so much, I wouldn't be so distracted! What did you give him anyway?"

"The Cloud.9 serum"

"Of all the things you could have picked from...you had to get the one that knocked people out and had a side effect that makes them act hornier than a bitch in heat. That's sick, even for you" he said in disgust.

"If the moans distract you so much the maybe I should just stop him so we can continue" he said huskily. Ukon watched as his brother stared at the sleeping red head with hungry eyes, and then his eyes widened in disbelief.

"You planned this from the beginning! I can't believe you're that desperate for him. The poor guy is sleeping for god's sake! He can't even say if he wants to or not!"

"That's fine...I'll just make it up to him by making sure he has a very good dream" he said lowly. Then he brushed his hand in between the boy's legs, eliciting a throaty moan from him. He smirked and started to rub up and down in a slow motion.

"Yes. More Sa-ahh!" he groaned while bucking his hips to give more encouragment.

"It's not possible. He is not dreaming about you" he said in shock. Sakon snickered and continued on with his minstrations.

"Go ahead sweet. Say my name" he whispered in the sleeping boy's ear, before giving the shell a quick lick. Then he started to rub more vigorously, and in return the boy below him bucked faster while trying to match his tempo.

"Sa-ke...mmm...I-I'm close!" the sleeping boy groaned.

"Moan my name nice and loud for Ukon and everyone else to hear" he said, rubbing harder into the boy's pants.

"Ah! Sa...ooh..Sa...Sasuke!" he moaned loudly before his body shook and spasmed.

"Sasuke!? Who the fuck is Sasuke!?" he screamed enraged.

"Apparently it was the one he thought was jerking him off. He obviously said 'no' for a reason and now you've learned 'why' the hard way. So what are you gonna do? Break up with him because he's been cheating on you? My mistake, because you were never together and let alone, he never said he was even interested in you" Ukon teased mercilessly.

"Shut up!" he bellowed before punching is twin to the ground. Ukon stared up at his brother from his position on the ground with something akin to shock. No matter how bad their arguments or jibes got, they had never ever raised a hand to one another...until now.

"If you tell anyone about this, you'll wish you hadn't" he hissed venomously. Ukon watched wordlessly as some kind of dark bruising slowly crept it's way on to his twin's neck. But before he could say anything, Sakon had already stormed off and down the hall.

"Do you think this will pose a problem, Orochimaru-sama?" Kabuto asked as they watched the scene take place from their security office.

"Not at all. It seems that Sakon is almost to the next stage thanks to our darling Kyuubi. Do not interfere with them, but study Sakon closely. We've never been lucky enough to see anyone progress past the second level so this might be entertaining to watch"

"And if this infatuation gets out of hand?" he inquired with a single brow raised.

"Then we'll just have to rectify the situation. Even the most entertaining of shows must end. Infact, the only reason on might continue to watch is to see what the outcome maybe" he said with a malicious chuckle.

I feel so icky...not only did I write that, but Naruto also got molested by someone who was not Sasuke...that's just wrong. See what happens when I try to write stuff like that? Not pretty right? Maybe next time you'll listen to me. So before you go and tell me how much crap that scene was compared to everything else, I want to let you know that I did try my best given my lack of...knowledge, and also remind you that I already mentioned how bad I was at that kind of stuff. I was not graced like Jiraiya-sama was with knowledge on the account of a person's pervertedness, because otherwise it wouldn't have been like this. So the least you can do is press the nice purple button...correction, lavender button and give me words of encouragement so that I continue writing.

(1) It's Jiraiya in case you didn't know

(2) Bet ya can't guess who this is!

(3) This actually is not just a randomized spelling of it. I actually made an acronym for which you'll find out later. It's very cool and I had a devil of a time making it up

(4) He means post traumatic stress disorder. My dad has it from being a cop for so long. It's kind of funny to watch him get all scared sometimes when he's reminded of something but it's probably only because I think he's an asshole...

(5) In case you didn't understand by now, Naruto has dyed his hair red for a disguise
