Green eyes were ablaze with rage. Hot blood boiling under his crawling skin.

"Mr. Shito what the fuck are you doing?" Sasuke asked sharply his voice deep with a growl.

"Sasuke..." Shito gulped. "What are you doing here dear boy?" He asked nervously.

"Came to check on Zukie. Glad I did. You were about to rape him weren't you?" Sasuke asked. his voice filled with hatred.

"I- It was an experiment-" Shito stuttered.

"DON'T GIVE ME THAT BULL SHIT!" The red head glared.

"Sasuke-"

"Get out..."

"Sasuk-"

"GET OUT!"

With that Shito ran. Embarrassed and shocked how Sasuke found him.

*No matter.* Shito thought. *We'll finish this another time.

Sasuke huffed. His breath stern. He turned to Zukie who was curled up on the floor shaking.

*He must be so confused and scared...* Sasuke thought sitting on his knees pulling Zukie close.

"I'm sorry I was to late." Sasuke whispered petting the goldish yellow tail of Zukie.

Zukie nuzzled Sasuke's chest holding onto him like a lifeline. He was so scared. Sasuke wiped tears away from Zukie's eyes picking him up gently. The elder teen carried the fish boy to his tank careful not to drop him. Setting him in the warmish cool water Sasuke sighed.

"How long has he been doing this?" Sasuke asked.

Zukie just blinked. He really had no idea what was happening.

"You can't understand me..." Sasuke sighed thinking.

As the red head thought in silence the brunette sat and played with his fins.

*He can't stay here. What if Shito dose that again and I can't come here in time? And those men who come here how do I know they wont hurt him severely and he could die? His life has value to. He has a heart. He has feelings. This just isn't fair.* Sasuke thoughts were interrupted as he felt a gentle hand rest on his knee.

Zukie looked up to the red headed teen with concern in his eyes. Zukie could sense that Sasuke was in distress.

"I guess you can understand me huh little guy?" Sasuke smiled.

Zukie frowned nuzzling Sasuke's leg with care hoping to make his human happy.

"It's alright. I'm not mad at you." Sasuke whispered a tear sliding down his cheek. ''If only...your so sweet and innocent. Why do you have to go through hell?"

The fish boy winced at the tears that were dripping onto his head. He hated to see his human so worked up. Leaning up he kissed Sasuke's tears away wishing he could sing to his lover. Wishing he could be heard. Sasuke held the soft body close letting out a few choked sobs.

"Do you...want to leave this place?" Sasuke asked looking into those bright pink eyes.

Leaving this place was all Zukie ever wanted. He hated this horrifying place. The tests and experiments. He oly wanted Sasuke. Zukie nodded shyly at his human's question.

"Alright then. It's settled. We're leaving...tonight." Sasuke said.

Throughout the night Sasuke dashed around trying to stay hidden. Disconnecting cameras of no evidence that he was here. Being busy he was watched by Zukie who was playing and drawing in the tank sand. Little hearts were created by his small finger gracefully. A silent giggle was given by the fish boy as he happily drew more.

*This is so dangerous. I'M PRACTICALLY STEALING FROM THE GOVERNMENT! But...Zukie is worth it. He can't stay here. I'll hide him. I'll protect him. I promise with my life.* Sasuke thought gathering a towel together.

Once the deed was done Sasuke rushed over to Zukie's tank wrapping the towel around his body.

"I know you need water but just hold out just a little while ok?" Sasuke said gently smiling as Zukie nodded.

Sasuke rushed out the aquarium doors walking as fast as he could with Zukie in his arms. The smaller boy clutching to his chest. Sasuke was careful they were not seen in the night lights of the street.

"Almost there are you ok Zukie?" Sasuke asked.

Zukie nodded his eyes filled with tears. He really wanted water. Sasuke noticed this and kissed Zukie on the forehead holding him close.

"It's ok we're almost there." Sasuke whispered into a fin ear.

In eyes view was the red head's house. Not to far away. This was it.

Zukie would be free.

Sneaking inside the house trying to not make a sound Sasuke quickly walked up the stairs resting the squirming fish boy in the tub filling it with cool water.

"Are you ok?" Sasuke asked.

Zukie nodded his eyes fluttering closed as the water relaxed him.

Sasuke smiled watching his guppy sleep safe and sound The small soft snores leaving those perfect lips.

"Welcome home Zukie." Sasuke whispered.

The sun raised over the horizon. Shito walked across the street with the keys of the aquarium in hand. Sasuke would pay for interrupting them. He would make sure of it. Metal keys grazed the key whole sliding inside twisting. The glass doors opened. Black shoes clicked across the marble floor over to an empty cage. Shito gasped. Searching all over for the beautiful creature.

Only to find him missing.

A fat heart pounded with anger. Nostrils flaming. Low growls filling the room.

''SASUKE!"

PLEASE FORGIVE ME FOR A LATE CHAPTER! I had to go to the dentist and my tooth is super soar and I was busy today. I know it's short but my tooth is bothering me so much that I couldn't focus. I am sorry.

Next Friday Zukie explores his new home and his form changes a whole lot.

Again sorry. Next chapter will be better! I promise.
