Chapter 8

Kakashi had just returned from the Hokage's office. He had shown The Third the file and he was going to place that into evidence. The Third didn't believe that Sasuke was a killer anymore then Kakashi did. If Sasuke did play a part there had to be a reason behind it. This file proved that Sasuke was just a victim. He could show it right away and save everyone the trouble. However, the victims' family deserved to hear what happened and Sasuke needed to say it out loud. So for tonight Sasuke would be in a cell and tomorrow he would be free once again.

The Third had already made sure that the rookie teams knew. Sasuke would need as much support as he could get. Tomorrow was bound to be a long hard day. Kakashi couldn't believe all of this. He had only been around Sasuke for a dew months. To learn all of this so quickly was making his head swim. Once he scanned through the file he knew exactly who the bad man was. He just couldn't believe he never noticed before. He was on the same ANBU squad as Itachi. He saw Sasuke and Itachi together all the time. Sasuke always looked fine; then again he was an Uchiha and if they wanted to they could hide anything.

Kakashi went and lay down on his bed. He was tired, but he was also worried. Sasuke was locked away in a cell which meant his chakra was blocked and he was chained to a wall. He would be completely defenseless against an attack. They had already hurt him once all he could do was hope they would leave it at that. Kakashi could feel that tingle once again in his head. He closed his eyes to try and focus on it as well as send some strength to Sasuke.

"Sasuke"

'Kakashi there's two ANBU here.'

"What are they doing?"

'They just keep staring at me.'

"Are they in the cell and how long have they been there?"

'Yes they're inside and a couple of minutes maybe.'

Kakashi was trying to think of a reason why they would be inside the cell. If they were there to just keep an eye on him there was no need to be in the cell. The only reasons Kakashi could think of were nothing good.

'Why are they taking their clothes off?'

Fear and anger filled Kakashi completely now he understood why. on any other occasion so would have Sasuke. Except his body was exhausted, malnourished, in pain and his chakra was sealed off. All of which have made it hard for his mind to function and process. Kakashi had to calm down he didn't know if Sasuke could feel what he was feeling.

"Are you restrained?"

'Yes'

"Where?"

'My wrists and ankles'

"How?"

'My ankles are to each other. My wrists are to the ceiling.'

"You're hanging from the ceiling?"

'I'm on my knees, but ya my arms are above my head and the chain is attached to the ceiling.'

"Sasuke listen to me… they're going to rape you. I need you to focus."

'What I can't handle this I just want to sleep it hurts too much already.'

"Shh I know…I know. They're going to take your clothes off and then they will do things to you."

'Kakashi'

"This is the hard part don't fight against it. That will make it hurt worse."

'I can't take this'

"I'm right here the while time I'm right here. Talk to me what's happening?"

'They're taking my pants off and I can't move at all.'

"As hard as it is don't make a sound and don't cry it'll only encourage them."

Kakashi felt a wavy of pin surging throw his mind. He knew what it was from Sasuke had connected to him so he could talk to him and take his charka. This also meant that mentally Kakashi could feel his pain. This pain that Kakashi was feeling meant that they were raping him.

"Sasuke talk to me"

'I can't it hurts god it hurts so bad. I can't take anymore of this why can't they just kill me.'

"Sasuke listen to my voice we will get through this. The nights almost over tomorrow at noon you'll be free. Seven more hours and you'll be free."

'I can't take seven more hours of this. I'm too tired to block it all out anymore.'

"They won't last long I promise within twenty minutes they'll be done. Just listen to my voice. How do you spell exceptional?"

'Ahhh I think he just broke my jaw. He's chocking me I can't move to get him out of my mouth.'

"Come one Sasuke how do you spell exceptional?"

'What?'

"Exceptional spell it."

'E…x…c…e…p…t…i…o…n…a…l exceptional'

"Good how do you spell finadict?"

'F…i…n…a…d…i…c…t… finadict'

"Good that's good what's 8x8?"

'64'

"What's 24x24?"

'576'

"That's right good now 768/ 6?"

'Um… 128'

"Good now what can you see? Is there any scars or tattoos? What are their masks?"

'There's a squirrel he's in front of me. No tattoos other then the ANBU one on his left arm. Um scars yes there's one right by his heart it looks like a lightening bolt. His skin it's darker though a little darker then Naruto's.'

"That's very good Sasuke what about the other one?"

'It's a lizard he doesn't have any scars that I can see. He does have a black tattoo of a dragon wrapped around a dagger on his chest. He's pale it really stands out.'

"I'm going to find them after this I'll take care of them."

'God I'm gonna throw up it's all over my face and he won't stop spitting on me.'

"It's almost over soon you can sleep."

'They're done and getting dressed now. It hurts so bad I can feel blood on my legs.'

"I know it's going to be okay just a little over six hours now. They'll heal you before noon so it's really less then six hours."

'They're right it's what a murderer like me deserves.'

"You are not a murderer Sasuke don't ever let anyone tell you other wise. Close your eyes and let sleep take over."

'I can't it hurts too much and my legs can't hold my weight anymore. It's making my arms stretch too far.'

"Relax your muscles and it'll help with the pain and keep your arms from dislocating. I'm not going anywhere I'm staying right here. I can hold out for the both of us all night. I won't leave you."

'You promise?'

"I promise"

That's how they stayed the rest of the night. Kakashi would ask Sasuke questions like before he was trying to get Sasuke to focus on something other then the pain. So they played different word and number games. Sasuke never did fall asleep he was to terrified of what would happen if he did. Finally they came and got him for the trail. Kakashi had felt relief when Sasuke said The Third and Ibiki were there. He knew they would make sure Sasuke was healed.

Sasuke had let the link go at that moment. He would see Kakashi soon enough there was only an hour before the trial. Kakashi got up off the bed he felt for the first time that night how much he was drained. He was tired and light headed so he went into his kitchen to get something to eat before he headed down to the courthouse. This was one meeting Kakashi refused to be late for.
