Chapter 3

Itachi opened the door and his eyes widened. He saw his brother though he barely even recognized him.

Sasuke was sitting in the corner of the room his he was gagged and his hands were bound behind his back with what looked like special restraints that were used to prevent one from using chakra so they couldn't perform any jutsu. He was completely naked and was shaking.

It was rather cold in the room so it wasn't a wonder why he was. But he also noted that Sasuke was wearing a shock collar with a chain leash attached to it. Tears stained his face and he had two black eyes.

He had cuts all over his body and bruises as well. His lips were bruised blue and blood surrounded them and ran down his chin indications that he had been throwing up blood previously.

He was soo skinny you could actually count his ribs and see which ones were broken. He also had a strange mark on his neck.

Itachi stopped looking Sasuke over and looked into his little brother's eyes. They were filled with pain and fear, Itachi started to go over to him and Sasuke started to push backwards but found he couldn't because he was already by the corner sitting by the two walls so he just whimpered and started to cower.

He started to cry again and it broke Itachi's heart. "Sasuke…it's me…" Itachi said calmly. Sasuke didn't look at him he just continued to cry and his body trembled violently.

"Itachi…" Kisame said. Itachi look over at the older man who had helped him. "…slowly." Kisame continued once he had gotten Itachi's attention.

Itachi nodded and slowly reached out a hand as he kneeled in front of Sasuke. "It's okay…it'll be alright…I'm here…" Itachi continued to repeat himself as he tried to calm Sasuke down.

Sasuke flinched when the hand touched him he whimpered and tried move away from the touch but Itachi reached behind his head and untied the gag then removed it from his mouth.

"That's it…calm down…" Itachi said reaching behind Sasuke to untie his hands.

Once his hands were free Itachi started to undo his feet but he accidentally brushed his hand across Sasuke's inner thigh and Sasuke screamed and moved back crouching in the corner covering his head.

Kisame hurried over and helped Itachi up since his brother had punched him in the chest and knocked him down to the ground in his panic. Itachi took Kisame's hand and walked over to Sasuke slowly.

"It's okay Sasuke…it's Itachi…it's Nii-san…"

"Please don't hurt me…" Sasuke whimpered.

"I'm not going to hurt you otouto…" Itachi said reaching out to pull Sasuke into a hug.

When Itachi finally got his arms around the shaking boy Sasuke let out a scream and tried to pull away but Itachi quickly pulled him closer so he couldn't struggle and so he just held him there close to his chest.

Sasuke finally wore himself out from his struggling and finally calmed and listened to Itachi's shushing him quietly and also his telling him that it would be alright. Sasuke just sat there leaning against Itachi. Itachi slowly reached up to Sasuke's neck to take off the collar Sasuke tensed but he remained still, but also still shaking in fear.

"Good boy Sasuke…that's it relax…good boy…" Itachi soothed as he removed it and tossed it into the corner of the room.

Finally Sasuke noticed something the person holding smelled of the same cologne that Itachi always wore. He looked up at Itachi with wide eyes.

"I-Itachi…" He whimpered and started to cry harder. Itachi looked at Sasuke and gave a weak smile and hugged clung to Itachi as if his life depended on it.

"I-I thought I'd never see you again…I thought you, mother and father had forgotten me…" Sasuke sobbed.

"It's okay…I'm here now…" He said holding onto Sasuke. Suddenly he saw Kisame's Akatsuki cloak was held out to him.

"Here you go Itachi." Kisame said softly.

Itachi looked back at his naked and shivering brother. Itachi thanked Kisame and took the cloak from him and wrapped his brother's shivering body in it. Sasuke looked over at Kisame who smiled gently.

Before Sasuke could ask Itachi spoke. "Sasuke this is Kisame…he helped me find you…"

He explained. "Come on let's go…I don't know where we're going to go but I…"

"You two can stay with me." The older man said to the two teens.

"How you said you were a criminal I thought you stayed where you worked?" Itachi asked.

"I think I have enough money to by buy a house." Kisame said.

Itachi smiled. "Thank you."

"What?" Sasuke asked. "Why aren't we going home?"

Itachi sighed he knew this was coming he had to lie. "Sasuke…there was a fire in the house…while I was gone…mother and father died…I'm sorry…" Itachi said then again for a second time held his sobbing brother.


Five weeks later…

Itachi was lying in bed with Sasuke.

Kisame had actually got a pretty large decent house it had five bedrooms, a living room, two rather large bathrooms, and an outside balcony upstairs.

Itachi was lying down on the silk light blue bed sheets; he was shirtless and just wearing a pair of black shorts while he held his brother who was also shirtless and just wearing a pair of black sweats.

He was gently cuddling Sasuke this was how he had gotten Sasuke to go to sleep last night after he had woken up screaming from a nightmare.

However Sasuke was getting used to people again and he seemed to trust the adult that lived with them. Sasuke stirred and moaned loudly. Itachi smiled softly as he held Sasuke close to his chest he buried his face in Sasuke's silky dark hair it smelled good and it seemed to ease Itachi's nerves.

Itachi had been really nervous lately he hoped Orochimaru wouldn't come back for Sasuke but he knew that he eventually would.

Kisame said he would help take care of the snake if he did come for him. Sasuke moaned again as he felt Itachi's nose nuzzle his hair. He and opened his eyes and smiled when he saw Itachi holding him. Itachi was providing a good amount of body heat that was rubbing off against his skin.

"Morning otouto." Itachi said happily. Sasuke yawned and cuddled up against his brother again.

"Morning Nii-san." Sasuke replied squeezing his brother's waist tightly. Itachi returned the hug and kissed the top of Sasuke's head.

Itachi decided now should be the time to tell Sasuke that he had to go somewhere and would be gone for at least a week. Itachi was worried he didn't know how Sasuke would react.

He hadn't left Sasuke alone ever since he got back. He was always in the house with him or took him where ever he went. He also didn't know if Sasuke trusted Kisame enough to let him watch over him until he got back.

"Sasuke…I need to tell you something important okay?" Sasuke looked up at Itachi and nodded.

"Sasuke I'm going to be going somewhere for a little while and I've asked Kisame to watch over you while I'm gone…is that okay with you?" Itachi said slowly picking out his words carefully.

Sasuke's eyes widened. "B-But Nii-san…can't I come with you…please…?" Sasuke said softly. Itachi could tell he was scaring Sasuke and he pulled him into a tight hug.

"No Sasuke you can't it's something I have to do alone…but Kisame will take good care of you I promise…"

A tear ran down Sasuke's face. "B-But…what if…you don't come back…" Sasuke said choking on a sob.

Itachi ran his fingers through Sasuke's spiky but yet silky hair. "Sasuke…I would never ever abandon you…I love you you're my little brother…" Itachi said kissing Sasuke on the forehead. "…do you understand…?" Itachi asked.

Sasuke nodded and Itachi smiled and gave him another hug. "Good…I promise Sasuke I'll come back." He said as he smiled happily at Sasuke.

Sasuke finally smiled back and hugged Itachi. "Okay." The young Uchiha said.

"Okay I have to get ready." Itachi said as he slowly got out from underneath Sasuke.

Sasuke's eyes widened again. "What? You're leaving today?" He asked softly.

Itachi looked at him with pity. "Yes I have to go today Sasuke…I have to leave in an hour. I already called Kisame and he said he's coming back but he'll be two hours so I'll have to leave which means you'll be home alone for at least a half an hour since it'll take me an hour and a half to get ready."

Sasuke's eyes widened in terror. "Please Nii-san I don't want to be alone!"

Sasuke half screamed half sobbed as tears started to brim up in his eyes. Itachi kneeled next to Sasuke who had fallen to the ground as his knees had buckled from his body going into shock from all the fear that had suddenly rushed in on him.

"Hey, hey, hey…" Itachi whispered stroking Sasuke's hair and holding him rocking him gently. "It'll be okay…I told Kisame I'm going to leave my cell phone here with you. So if you are in trouble."

Itachi said wiping some tears from his sobbing brother's face. Sasuke looked up at him and sniffed. "I want you to lock the door and all the windows okay? And if someone does happen to get in I want you to hide and call Kisame. I have his phone number in list all you have to do is scroll down until you find it and press dial and that's it. He said he'll be there right away if you call…okay?" Itachi said softly.

Sasuke looked up at him with pleading eyes. "I'm sorry Sasuke but I can't stay here until he gets back…I have to go but I want you to do as I say okay?" Itachi asked. Sasuke finally nodded after he buried his face into Itachi's bare chest.

"That's my boy…" Itachi said and kissed him again. "Now I've got to get ready okay?" Sasuke nodded and Itachi went into the bathroom to take a shower.

The bathroom was rather large. It had a white tiled floor and a large tub about the size of a large hot tub by the wall. And it had a large shower area.

Itachi closed the door and took his clothes off. He started the water and turned it on medium and stepped in. He sighed the water felt good on his skin. Itachi grabbed first cleaned his body then grabbed the shampoo and squirted some in his hand. He scrubbed the shampoo into his hair until it was a nice thick lather and then he rinsed it. He then put the conditioner in and rinsed that out as well.

He stood there in the shower for a while after he was done cleaning. He just stood there in the hot water. He was thinking, debating on whether or not he should leave Sasuke alone.

Even if it was for such a small amount of time he wasn't sure Sasuke could handle the pressure. He stood there for a long time he didn't even move when the water got freezing cold. He finally let out a long sigh and decided he had no other choice. He needed to do this.

He was going to get accepted into the ANBU and he could make money a good amount of money for that to help pay for the nice house him and Sasuke were currently in.

He turned off the water and stepped out of the shower after he opened the door. He grabbed a white towel and wrapped it around his waist then walked out into the bedroom again he saw Sasuke sitting on the bed he looked miserable.

Itachi pitied his brother he had a feeling he would react this way. Itachi stared at Sasuke for a long time before he walked over to the dresser and pulled out a pair of dark blue boxers. He slipped them on and then dug around in the dresser and found a pair of black leather pants and a black tank top shirt. He put those on and walked back over to Sasuke.

"Hey…its okay…I'll be back I promise…" Itachi said wrapping his arms around his brother's small form he noticed he was shaking again.

Itachi sighed and sat down on the bed next to him and held him for a long time before he looked at the clock.

"Sasuke…" He said softly. "I've got to go now…" He said digging into his pocket and pulled out his cell phone he gently grabbed Sasuke's hand and opened it then put the phone in his small hand and wrapped his fingers around it.

"Remember what I said Sasuke…lock the doors front and back, lock all the windows and do NOT answer the door. Kisame has a key and he'll come in. If someone does manage to get in hide and call Kisame immediately….okay?" Itachi asked looking deep into Sasuke's eyes.

Sasuke nodded as a single tear leaked from one of his eyes. "Good boy…" Itachi said softly and kissed him on top of the head then he got off the bed and stood.

"I got to go now. I'll help you lock the back door and the windows okay? Lock the front door after I leave." Itachi said standing up. Sasuke stood up and they started to lock the windows.

Then they went upstairs and locked the balcony door. Sasuke and Itachi walked downstairs and Itachi walked to the front door and looked at Sasuke then walked over and kneeled so he was at eyelevel.

"I have my other cell phone as well. But I do not want you to call me if you are in trouble I want you to call Kisame okay?" Itachi asked. Sasuke nodded and Itachi hugged him one last time before he turned around and opened the door.

"I'll see you when I get back in a couple of days okay Sasuke?" Itachi asked.

Sasuke nodded and Itachi smiled weakly he hated leaving Sasuke alone he could tell his little brother was scared shitless of being alone. He then closed the door and walked out the front gate. Sasuke locked the door and walked to the window and watched as his brother disappeared into the trees.

Sasuke was getting nervous Itachi had said Kisame would be back at the house half an hour after he left but it had been five hours and he was still here alone.

Sasuke sat on the couch crying silently. No sobs just tears were streaming from his eyes. There was no noise in the house except for his breathing.

Sasuke suddenly heard a window smash and his eyes widened. He pulled out the phone Itachi had given him and started to dial Kisame's number when he was suddenly grabbed from behind and a hand was thrown over his mouth. Sasuke started screaming and thrashing in the person's grip but they tightened their grasp.

"Now, now its okay just relax." came the familiar voice of Orochimaru. Sasuke looked around for him and saw him walk out of the shadows of the room. He then saw that long tongue of his shoot out of his mouth and grab the phone out of his hand.

Sasuke's tears started to flow more heavily. Orochimaru chuckled and he walked over to Sasuke. Sasuke could only guess that the man holding him was Orochimaru's assistant Kabuto.

Orochimaru looked down at the phone and smirked then he looked back at Kabuto. "Kabuto tie up our little Sasuke-kun and sit him down on the couch. Make sure he doesn't go anywhere." Orochimaru commanded.

Kabuto pulled out some rope and wrapped it around Sasuke's wrists and tied the ends into incredible knots.

Sasuke started to cry since he was free to do so with his mouth not being covered anymore. Orochimaru smirked and his tongue came out of his mouth and he licked the salty tears off Sasuke's face.

He looked back at the phone that was in his hand. He set it down on the table and pulled out a white handkerchief and walked over to the couch that the bound Sasuke was sitting on and forced it into his mouth and pulled it back then tightly tied it behind the twelve year old's head so tight that Sasuke couldn't even make the slightest sound.

He then picked up the phone and smirked he put it in his pocket and then looked at Kabuto. "Come Kabuto let's take little Sasuke-kun back to the hideout." He said as he looked at the squirming boy sitting on the couch. Kabuto nodded and knocked Sasuke out then picked him up. Then the snake sanin and his assistant walked out into the night and disappeared.


Three days later…

Sasuke sat in the dark room he was stripped of his pants and was just sitting in his boxers. He was still gagged and bound he would've still been crying but he had used up all his tears from crying too much already.

Orochimaru suddenly walked into the room with a sick grin on his face Kabuto followed but he stopped at the door and waited by it after closing it. "Now Sasuke-kun…I imagine you would like to talk to your brother would you not?" Orochimaru asked with a grin.

Sasuke sniffed and watched as Orochimaru pulled out the phone Itachi had given him and dialed Itachi's number of his other phone the one he had taken with him. He let it ring a couple of times before he heard a voice on the other end. Orochimaru put the phone on speaker phone mode so Sasuke could hear as well.

"Sasuke…I thought I told you to call Kisa-"Itachi voice came over the phone.

"Why Hello Itachi…" Orochimaru said with a snicker.

"What? Who is this?"Itachi asked curiously.

"Hmm…well that's a nice hello…Itachi-san…" Orochimaru chuckled.

"Wait a minute…where's Sasuke?" Itachi asked angrily.

"Oh don't worry…he's safe…" Orochimaru said cheerfully.

"Wait…this is Orochimaru isn't it!" Itachi's angry voice came over the line.

"Nice work Itachi-san…" Orochimaru said with amusement.

"What have you done with Sasuke!" Itachi growled each word dripping with venom almost as if he was daring the snake to lie to him.

"Don't worry he's safe Itachi…in fact he's right here next to me." Orochimaru said as he kneeled next to Sasuke and touched his hair and started to play with it making Sasuke shake with fear.

"Let him go…" Itachi snarled.

"Hmm…you know…that is a good idea…but actually I think I'll keep little Sasuke-kun…" Orochimaru said in a way he knew what piss Itachi off.

"I swear to god if you hurt him I will tear you to shreds when I find you." Itachi snarled.

"Don't worry Itachi-san I made sure to go to a place you would never ever find…would you like to talk to your brother Itachi-san?" Orochimaru said as he looked at Sasuke with an evil grin. He noticed Sasuke was on the verge of breaking down into tears. He motioned for Kabuto to come behind Sasuke and tighten the gag in the boy's mouth which Kabuto did so immediately.

"Don't worry you fucker I will find you and if he has one hair out of place I will tear you limb from limb after I make you suffer so bad you'll be begging for mercy!" Itachi yelled.

"Here he is…" Orochimaru said completely ignoring the threat. He put the phone to Sasuke's mouth. Sasuke let out a low whimper and flinched as Orochimaru snaked his arm down and slipped his hand into his boxers.

"Sasuke? Are you there?" Itachi asked.

Sasuke broke down finely after hearing the sound of his brother's voice and upon feeling Orochimaru start to massage his balls. He started sobbing and whining loudly into the gag as tears flowed freely from his eyes like a river.

"Sasuke…it's okay…I'm coming…I'm not going to let him hurt you okay…I'm coming to get you it'll be okay…" Itachi said trying to calm his crying baby brother down. Though it had no effect on the young Uchiha.

Orochimaru chuckled and took the phone away from Sasuke's mouth and put it back to his.

"Don't worry Itachi…I'll keep little Sasuke-kun safe…" Orochimaru chuckled. Itachi was about to say something else but Orochimaru hung up the phone and looked back at Sasuke who was still crying.

He stopped massaging Sasuke's personals and removed his hand from Sasuke's boxers. He stood up and turned to the door and he and Kabuto left the room leaving the young Uchiha alone in the cold dark room crying and sobbing loudly.


A/N: Thanks goes to Itachi is KICKASS for this one, this is our friend IloveITACHIandSASUKE she just changed her name.


Kisame heaved a sigh, as he ran as fast as his feet could possibly carry him towards his house. He panted and wiped the sweat form his brow, as he unlocked and opened the door. Kisame frowned he had a bad feeling about this.

"Sasuke, I'm home!" Kisame called, pushing the door open all the way. Kisame's frown deepened as he didn't get an answer.

"Sasuke… are you there?!" Kisame tried again. Worry and panic built up in him, as he madly dashed through the house.

"Sasuke!" He yelled. 'Shit, shit, shit, Itachi is going to be so pissed…'

Kisame pulled out his phone quickly dialing Itachi's phone number.

It rang a couple of times before someone picked up.

"Itachi… Sasuke isn't here… he's gone." Kisame said.

"Yeah I know, this is all your fault!"

"How… how did you know?"

"Because Orochimaru called me and put him on the phone… he was crying Kisame he was fuckingcrying. Why the fuck weren't you there when Orochimaru came?!"

"Itachi… calm down… the reason why I wasn't here is because a guy name Kimimaro stopped me from getting home… he was working for Orochimaru… and I am so sorry… I tried to get home as soon as I possibly could, but he was strong… I am sorry Itachi… I am so very sorry…"

A sigh was heard from the other end of the phone. "Ok Kisame… I will meet you at the house and we will try to get this figured out there... I will be there as soon as I can…"

"Ok…" Kisame whispered, as the line went dead.

Five Days Later…

Sasuke hadn't ate or drank anything in 8 days and he was completely miserable. His mouth felt like a desert.

Sasuke looked up as he heard the familiar sound of a door opening. Sasuke almost grimaced, as Orochimaru came in, but he knew it would be best if he kept his emotions to himself.

"Hello Sasuke-kun, are you happy to see me?" Orochimaru asked smiling.

Sasuke began trembling, as Orochimaru walked closer picking him up and throwing him harshly into a different room. Sasuke whimpered, as his face came in contact with the cold stone. Orochimaru raised his hand and began beating Sasuke.

Sasuke stared up at Orochimaru, whimpering many of his bones were broken and he was bleeding badly.

Orochimaru lifted Sasuke up by his hair, as he unzipped his pants.

"Suck," He demanded. Sasuke shook his head no, staring at Orochimaru with wide eyes. Orochimaru delivered another harsh blow to Sasuke's head.

"Do as I say, or so help me I will rip your fucking tongue out of your fucking mouth!" Orochimaru yelled.

Sasuke opened his mouth and Orochimaru took that opportunity to shove himself in Sasuke's mouth. Orochimaru pushed himself all the way in Sasuke.

Sasuke gagged, as Orochimaru touched the end of his throat. He gagged again, as vomit entered his mouth. He couldn't let it out though, because Orochimaru was still in his mouth.

"Suck," Orochimaru demanded. Sasuke quickly obeyed and began sucking, until his cheeks ached. Orochimaru moaned as he came in Sasuke's mouth.

"Swallow it… all of it." Orochimaru demanded. Sasuke swallowed, as much as he could, as he began sobbing.

Orochimaru wasn't done yet eh flipped Sasuke over onto his back and slammed into him. Orochimaru slammed into him as hard as he could. Sasuke began crying, the only thing that was making this more bearable was the blood that was acting as a lubricant. Orochimaru came with a long moan. Orochimaru pulled up his pants smiling in satisfaction.

Orochimaru grabbed a dirty rag shoving it down Sasuke's throat making it almost impossible to breathe. Orochimaru pulled out a roll of duct tape, tearing off a piece and putting it firmly on Sasuke's mouth.

Orochimaru smirked, as he admired his work. Orochimaru then picked Sasuke up by his hair, throwing him in a small dark closet that Sasuke barely fit in.

Sasuke saw Orochimaru smile once more before the door slammed shut. Sasuke heard the lock click, as he began sobbing again.

Orochimaru smiled at his assistant, Kabuto.

"Come on Kabuto, Itachi and Kisame are going to come looking for Sasuke soon, we should prepare." Kabuto nodded, as they both left.

"So…" Kisame began, as he stared at Itachi.

"What are we going to do?" Itachi asked, as he paced back and forth. Kisame stared at the usually calm Itachi.

"Calm down Itachi… the only thing we can do is go there and fight them for Sasuke… there isn't really much planning that we can do."

"You're right… then we will go try and find them." Itachi said as both boys left.

Itachi sighed as he walked past Konoha… he had promised never to come back to this place, but apparently it couldn't be helped.

"Itachi?" a voice asked from behind the two.

Itachi spun around and came face to face with Kakashi.

"Kakashi?" Itachi asked his eyes narrowing.

"Why are you wandering around outside of Konoha?" Kakashi asked raising his visible eyebrow.

"Sasuke got kidnapped by Orochimaru and we are looking for him." Itachi explained calmly. With how well he had covered his tracks he was the last person they'd suspect to have killed his family.

"Didn't Sasuke get kidnapped years ago?" Kakashi asked.

"Yeah, but I found him and he's alive and now he is gone again… and… and…" Itachi said.

"He's alive?" Kakashi asked shocked.

"For now, but he won't be for long if he stays with Orochimaru…" Itachi mumbled.

"I'll help you… if that is ok with you?" Kakashi said.

"Yeah, I will need all the help I can get." Itachi said.


A/N: Thank our friend for this upcoming part too.


One week later…

Orochimaru walked back into the room and walked over to the closet and stopped and stood for a second.

He smiled as he listened to Sasuke's hardly audible choked sobs thanks to the rag he had stuffed down the boy's throat. He smiled again and opened the door and looked at the curled up Sasuke who was now looking up at him with begging eyes. This made Orochimaru happy he knew he had complete power of the young Uchiha and the boy knew this too.

Orochimaru walked over to Sasuke and grabbed him by the hair and dragged him out of the closet. Tears started to stream from Sasuke's eyes again.

Once Sasuke was out of the closet Orochimaru picked him up and walked over to the wall. He sat Sasuke up against it and removed the tape then pulled the rag out of Sasuke's mouth. Sasuke started gasping for breath and Orochimaru chuckled.

He then called in Kabuto who came in with a pitcher of water. He handed it to Orochimaru who looked at Sasuke.

"Open." He commanded. Sasuke didn't care if the water was drugged he was so thirsty he'd drink anything so he opened his mouth and Orochimaru put the pitcher to his lips and slowly poured the water into Sasuke's mouth. To Sasuke's surprise the water wasn't drugged it was just plain water. Orochimaru set the water pitcher down when it was gone and started to stroke Sasuke's hair running his fingers through the soft silky black locks.

"Good now that that's taken care of…"

"Please…just let me go…please…" Sasuke begged.

Orochimaru chuckled and picked up the rag again and forced Sasuke's mouth open and stuffed nearly all the way down the poor boy's throat and then got a new piece of duck tape and taped his mouth shut.

Sasuke then watched as Orochimaru started to play with his balls Orochimaru leaned down and started to lick them and Sasuke let out a loud whine of discomfort as more tears ran down his face.

Orochimaru stopped and smirked and caressed Sasuke's cheek. "Now, now Sasuke-kun…it's okay you're okay." Orochimaru said softly and dragged him back over to the closet.

Sasuke's stomach growled and this only made Orochimaru laugh he knew the boy had to be hungry and he liked making his little Sasuke-kun suffer.

Orochimaru violently threw Sasuke back into the closet and locked the door. Sasuke leaned against the wall, curled up and cried. He cried and cried until finally he fell asleep.


Three and a half hours later…

"Kabuto!" Orochimaru called.

Kabuto came in a few minutes later. "Yes Lord Orochimaru?"

"I am going out for a little while. I need you to watch over the hideout and our little Sasuke-kun."

"Yes my lord. " Kabuto said with a slight bow.

"Good." Orochimaru said and walked out the door.


Meanwhile…

Kakashi, Itachi and Kisame stood outside a rather large abandoned warehouse. "I think this is where he is." Kisame said. "I know it was where Orochimaru used to go when he wanted to be alone I followed him here once but I've never been inside." Kisame explained.

"Okay let's go then."


Four minutes later…

Itachi, Kakashi and Kisame walked through the halls. They looked through all the rooms and everything no luck they hadn't even seen anybody.

They suddenly saw a set of stairs that led downstairs. Itachi led the way downstairs and they walked through the dark halls and finely turned a corner and saw a door that had a huge lock on it. Itachi looked at it oddly.

They started towards it slowly when they got to the door Kakashi looked at the lock and charged up a chidori blast. He suddenly thrust his hand on the lock and it snapped off.

Kakashi backed up to let Itachi go first. Itachi walked in and he looked around the room was completely empty except there was a tiny closet in the corner of the room it had a lock on it and it appeared to be locked. Itachi looked at Kisame.

"Why would a closet be locked?" Kisame asked.

"I have an idea why." Kakashi said and charged up another chidori then repeated what he had done to the other lock. The door slowly creaked open.

Itachi moved and opened the door wider and his eyes widened as he saw his little brother curled up in the cramped closet he was still asleep this worried Itachi greatly he kneeled and shook him a little he still didn't wake so he shook him a little more roughly.

Finely Sasuke's eyes fluttered open and he looked around then he felt someone touching him and he flinched he thought it was Orochimaru. He looked in the direction the contact was coming from and saw Itachi he.

Itachi obviously didn't know what to say when he opened his mouth to say something because he closed it again and silently pulled Sasuke out of the closet.

Sasuke started to cry silently and Itachi gently peeled the tape off Sasuke's mouth and then pulled the rag out of his mouth. Once the rag was out of his mouth Sasuke burst into a mess of hysterical sobs.

Itachi just hugged him tightly and held him there shushing him. "It's okay…let's get you out of here okay?" Sasuke nodded as Itachi picked him up. They then all started out of the warehouse.


Forty five minutes

later…

Itachi hurried into the hospital and looked around for a doctor. Kisame was taking his sword back home and was coming back to meet Kakashi in the waiting room.

Sasuke clung to Itachi he had his arms wrapped around his body going all the way across his chest and he was squeezing tightly. Itachi knew Sasuke was scared of hospitals to be honest he always had been. But now with so many people here while Sasuke was in the state he was in, it made Itachi nervous. \

He finely found a doctor and he ran up to him still cradling Sasuke. "Excuse me." He said firmly. The doctor turned his attention to Sasuke and Itachi and his eyes widened.

"Oh dear god! What happened to him?" He asked as he started to check on Sasuke.

"I don't know to be honest please just help him." Itachi said. The doctor showed Itachi a room and he told him to lay Sasuke on the examination table.

Itachi walked over and tried to set Sasuke down but Sasuke held onto him with a death grip.

"Hey…it's okay otouto…I'm going to be right here…no one is going to hurt you I promise…" Itachi said softly.

Sasuke burst into tears. "I wanna go home!" He rasped out it was hardly understandable since the cut on his throat was messing up his speaking.

"We'll go home soon I promise. I just want to make sure you're okay. Now please let go." Sasuke's eyes leaked tears and he was shaking violently.

Itachi sighed. "Can you do this while I'm holding him?"

The doctor nodded. "I can try." He said and pulled out a roll of bandages and started to bandage him up. He went to remove Sasuke's shirt but when he touched the bottom of it Sasuke started screaming and then broke down sobbing. The top of his lungs and he withdrew his hand.

"I need you to calm him down so I can examine his chest for wounds." Itachi nodded.

"Sasuke…Sasuke look at me…" Sasuke turned his head away from Itachi and continued to cry. "Sasuke it's okay he won't hurt you…he wants to help you…I want you to be okay…please…let him take a look at you…please." Itachi asked gently running his fingers through Sasuke's hair.

Sasuke started to calm but he continue to cry. The doctor removed Sasuke's shirt and he gasped while Itachi's eyes widened in horror.

"Dear god when was the last time he's eaten!?" The doctor exclaimed.

"I already said I don't know what happened!" Itachi snapped.

"Okay well after I treat the rest of these I want you to take him home and make sure he gets some food. Am I understood?" The doctor asked.

Itachi nodded as the doctor started to finish dressing Sasuke's wounds then finely he was done and he nodded telling Sasuke it was okay for him to put his shirt back on.

Itachi then helped support Sasuke out of the room and he met Kakashi and Kisame in the waiting room.

He thanked Kakashi for the help and that he'd see him sometime soon. Then he told Kisame that they were going back to the house and the two left to take Sasuke back home.


A/N: And that is the end of that chapter, I hope you all liked it and don't forget to leave your precious reviews and don't forget to thank our friend Itachi is KICKASS.
