It's now been a week after the bath, Saskue changed for the better, he left his room. He wouldn't go anywhere without either Rikimaru or Ayame but at least he was outside. Often, Saskue would wake up at night, shriving, in a cold sweat. He had been dreaming about the brothel, about the man who forced him there. The very thought of that ugly bastard terrified, making it imposable for him to sleep alone. The only thing he could think of doing was going over to Rikimaru's room, and sleep with him, and not sex, sleeping with the ninja, in his strong, warm arms where he felt safe. With his head on his chisled chest and letting the soft sound of his heartbeat lull him to sleep. Every night this would happen.

Right now, he was with Ayame in the garden, admiring the growing plants. He was most interested in the Sakura tree. They sat under it to admire the flowers growing from it. "So Saskue" Ayame started "How have you been feeling since you got back? Better?" Saskue nodded "Good" the female ninja said smiling "Rikimaru seams really happy to have you back, he really missed you" Saskue blushed slightly, giving her a confused look. Ayame's eyes wined "Oh, right, you cant remember" Saskue shook his head "Well you wer-" she started but was cut off by The sound of swords clashing.

The two ran to the noise to find Rikimaru fighting with two samurai from the brothel. He pushed them back and jumped back, Ayame rushed to his side, kodachi in hand. "Our boss wants his merchandise back!" one of the samurai said. He turned his head to Saskue "Ahh there he is!" He said running toward him, Rikimaru got to him first and got between them, ready to strike. "Out of the way ninja, I'm taking him back!" Rikimaru tightened his grip on the isoi "Hes not going anywhere" he threatened, The samurai laughed and swung his sword which was blocked easily. Rikimaru held him off long enough but they were in a stand still, both swords high up above them, in a endless struggle. The ninja has getting to weak and was loosing the battle, but that Wasen't going to give up, Rikimaru pushed agents the samurai, making him stumble back, before he could regain his composer, he was already dead. Ayame walked up to them, already dispatched of the other intruder. Rikimaru turned to Saskue "Are you OK?" he asked. Saskue just nodded. Rikimaru sighed in relief and suddenly hugged him. "Good" he said, Saskue pushed the ninja away, even though he enjoyed the hug, he didn't want to be touched at the moment, he was was happy to see the men dead, they would force themselves on him often, and seeing them made him feel dirty. Ayame cleared her through to get their attention "They know where Saskue is?" he asked his partner

"It didn't sound like they did" the ninja said "They said they were looking for him, the said their boss sent samurai all over to find him, and they say through my lies"

"But now they have no idea, like always" Ayame said

"Thats good". Rikimaru nodded "Yes". Just then, one of the seventy's ran up to them "Rikimaru, Lord Goda would like to see you" the servant said

"At once" the ninja said, he nodded to both of them and followed the servant. When Ayame and Saskue were alone, she spoke up "That's Rikimaru for ya" she said, Saskue just looked at her, she shook her head "Come on, lets go eat, I'm starving" Ayame said walking to the kitchen, Saskue following closely behind.


Not even an hour later they had their food, dumplings. They sat at the table eating them along with a cup to tea. As they were eating, Rikimaru came in and got some of the dumplings. He then sat down and joined them, he sat down next to Saskue. Saskue knew there was something wrong, that it had to do with him, he didn't know how he knew, but he did. Ayame took a bight of heir's and started to talk "What did lord Goda say?" she asked. Rikimaru sowed his food and started "He asked why were attacked and I told him"

"And?" She said wanting him to continue

"He said we cant let them take Saskue, that man has made slaves out of to many people, But Saskue is not going to be one of them." he said, eating another dumpling

"You got that right" Was the last thing said before the continued to eat in silence.


It was now night time, Rikimaru was getting ready for bed. He suddenly herd the door open with Saskue standing in it, his sword was at his side. "Saskue, What is it?" The ninja asked. The look of determination he gave him said it all. "You want to kill the brothel owner, don't you?" Saskue nodded. "You know you cant do that, you'll get killed" Rikimaru said and turned around, Saskue sighed and turned away. "That's why I'm going with you" Rikimaru said, strapping the isioi to his back. Without another word they were off.


Not even awhile latter, they were half way to the hell Saskue was saved from, Saskue couldn't whate to kill the bastard that turned him into a whore, and to get the girl out of there as well, he hoped she was still pure.

But now, Saskue had to rest, all this running made him tired, before all this, running wouldn't be a problem, but now, with all the sitting, he was out of shape. He leaned up agents a tree to catch his breath, he stood there panting when Rikimaru walked up behind him and put his hands on his shoulders. "Are you alright" he asked, getting closer to him. Saskue turned to him and nodded. The ninja looked so amazing in the moonlight, his hair shimmered in it, and his eyes sparkled like ember jewels. Saskue blushed, Rikimaru smiled behind his mask and pulled Saskue closer to him. The ninjas mussels felt nice agents his back, and he smelled so good. He could feel himself getting aroused, and pulled away from his grasp. Rikimaru went after him "Whats wrong?" the ninja asked. Saskue's blush got even deeper, Rikimaru looked down to see the bulge in the blue eyed man's pants. Calmly and slowly he walked up to him "I understand" he said sweetly, the ninja slowly untied his robe, reliving his pale chest. The ninja ran his fingers down it "Here, let me help you with that" He said, getting on his knees. Rikimaru lowed his mask and looked up at Saskue's terrified face, Rikimaru smiled warmly "I wont hurt you, I promise, I'll make sure this feels good" Saskue knew he was telling the truth and closed his eyes. He could feel his pants slide down his legs and hissed as he felt his erection hit the cold night air. Rikimaru gently took a hold of the throbbing organ and gave it a lick, from base to tip, licking up a dribble of pre cum from the slit. He placed a kiss on it, Rikimaru's soft lips felt so good, Saskue started to get restless as the kisses trailed all over the shaft. He placed on last kiss on sensitive spot under the glands and gave it another lick, he licked that spot again, carefully cupped his balls in his hand. His tongue went up and swirled his tongue around the rosey pink tip before putting it in this mouth. Slowly he went down more, only to go back up and play with the head again. His mouth went around it again, going down more and more until he couldn't go down anymore, and repeated the process until he built up a rhythm. The ninja felt Saskue's hand tangle into his hair as he sucked him off. Saskue was close to an orgasm, the first he could remember. The pressure built up and more and more until he lost control, shoting a huge, hot lode into the ninja's mouth. Saskue looked down, the ninja's mouth was open as he licked the cum off his lips. His soft lips closed and an audabl gulp could be hurd as he sowled every last drop of it. He always solwed, his cum tasted sweet in the past, Saskue was a sweet person, but now it had more of a bitter taste to it. The ninja stood after replasing the shorter man's pants. Saskue tied his robe back up and looked at Rikiamru. "Do you feel better now?" He asked, Saskue nodded, Rikimaru gently cupped his cheek in his hand "I'm glad" he said carfuly brushing his cheek bone with his thumb, makeing him smile slightly. Rikimaru's heart flutterd after seeing the smile he missed so much. He tilted his head and slowly moved in for a kiss. Their lips were just inches from eachouther and Saskue turned his head away. The ninja's heart sank as he put is mask back over his face and took a step away. "I'm sorry" He said to the shorter man "Let's go" he said, Saskue looked back up and nodded
