Author's note: I'm kind of going back through the chapters and correcting misspellings, and changing a few words, but no worries they aren't words that's going to change the entire outcome of the story, I was mainly changing the adjectives and verbs that would better suit the storyline. So if you decide to, I don't know, reread some of the chapters, you wont see major changes and the ones you do come across...well you just come across them I guess. ^_^

Oh and I do apologize for the incredibly long wait...

Well I hope you enjoy, and if there are any complexities to anyone, please don't hesitate to ask questions, whether it is through a review or personal message...Anyhow,

Enjoy! ^_^

From Dreams to Nightmares

Yesterday went uneventful.

Naruto stalked up the stairs to Sasuke's room. The raven had been calling him for the past ten minutes, tempting him to take another bath. Sasuke had given him a stretched black sweater, and a pair of deep blue pants, with a pair of socks after his last bath.

Strolling passed Itachi's door, Naruto stopped. In comparison, the door seemed much larger than what it actually was, but in reality, it was nothing more than an average door.

"C'mon Naruto"! Sasuke barked irritably. Naruto turned to Sasuke's door, then back to Itachi's before sighing. He laggardly drug himself into the welcoming Uchiha's room.

The room was illuminated with what seemed like--sunlight.

"Do we have to"? Naruto inquired drowsily.

Sasuke sighed.

"We went over this already Naruto", Sasuke stated. The Uchiha emerged from the bathroom, two towels slung over either shoulder. He tossed one to the blonde.

Naruto looked down at it before sighing.

"Yeah but..." he trailed. Sasuke leaned against the doorframe of the bathroom, features, expressionless.

"Yeah but, what"? Sasuke inquired monotone. "You're not still nervous are you"? Naruto looked away from the Uchiha, starring into the distance from the window, whilst the Uchiha chuckled throatily.

Sasuke sauntered over to the blonde, a smirk adorned his visage. He placed a hand on Naruto's shoulder. Naruto didn't turn to look at the Uchiha, but instead his gaze remained glued to the delights of the outdoor environment.

"If you're that scared Dobe, then--"

"Shut up Teme". Naruto demanded absently, and Sasuke's smirk broadened. The Uchiha leaned in, inches from the others ear.

"If you're that scared Naruto", Sasuke whispered. "...Then we'll shower together". Sasuke whispered seductively. Sasuke's broadened smirk nearly broke into a crooked smile as he witnessed Naruto's eyes bulge from his head.

Naruto slowly turned to look at the Uchiha. "Sa-Sas-uke..." Naruto trailed off. He was at a lost for words.

"Sasuke, I--"

"Strip". Sasuke stated, and Naruto nearly moaned at the thought of the raven slowly scrubbing down his body, wet, soapy, and naked. Naruto licked his lips and his eyes quivered as he watched the Uchiha disappear back into the bathroom, closing the door behind him.

Sasuke withheld a smirk to his features as he left the blonde flabbergasted.

'He's probably still standing there like an idiot'. He cracked opened the door, discerning Naruto divesting the pants from around his waist, shirt already stripped from his body. Sasuke quirked a brow. 'More eager than I thought'.

"Hmph". He closed the door and began shedding the articles of clothing from his person.

There was a knock on the door and Sasuke looked over at it.

"Sasuke, I'm--I'm ready". Sasuke snorted silently with an evident smirk gracing the curve of his lips.

The Uchiha opened the door. Naruto was completely bare, save for the towel wrapped around his waist.

Naruto looked Sasuke up and down, witnessing his muscular upper body and well-toned abs. Sasuke was naked as well, except for the boxers he still wore. Naruto's gaze settled at his crotch for a second too long and looked up at Sasuke, who in which had the smuggest grin and lustful eyes one could ever dream a person could have at one time.

"You're going to shower with the towel around you"? Sasuke inquired, expertly withdrawing his eager from the tone of his voice, albeit, the settled gaze upon the blonde's crotch could not be hidden.

Naruto hesitantly unraveled the towel from around his waist, his fingers pinching around the fabric with uncertainty.

Naruto dropped the towel. Sasuke's eyes grazed over the blonde, his gaze lingering at his limp member. The Uchiha looked up into Naruto's eyes, whom in which had his orbs diverted elsewhere.

Sasuke smirked meagerly. "Get in", he edicts. Naruto pulled the shower curtains back and stepped into the tube.

Naruto was in disbelief. He and Sasuke were actually going to--unbelievable. 'This is too much'. Naruto could feel heat engulfing his body, and he relinquished his sense of disbelief.

He looked up, noting a mist of steam surrounding the air. He turned to face the water sprouting from the showerhead, starring in astonishment he stepped under it, allowing the water to run down his body.

It was so hot.

It was so hot, but it felt so good.

The piping hot water worked his muscles. He relaxed under the sensation as it diminished all worries, nervousness, and anticipation. Like a solacing indulgence of painstaking--fire burning through his person with unremorseful diligence.

It showered over his every muscle, releasing the tense buildups. His mind enraptured in an entirely new sensation, the nervousness inside him vanished completely.

It was so hot, but so good.

Naruto gasped, resurfacing to reality when Sasuke wrapped his arm around his waist, pulling him close. In the arms of the Uchiha, Naruto closed his eyes as Sasuke's hand slowly ghosted across his bare chest.

The Uchiha slid his other hand down Naruto's thigh, caressing his skin. He teased his nipples, pinching and rolling them between his fingers until they hardened.

He wrapped his arms around the blonde's waist, his hand remained to caress his thigh, and he leant over to his ear.

"You're so--hot", he whispered, and docilely bit his lip. Naruto shifted slightly. How many thoughts that ran through the blonde's mind after that statement must've broken a record?

Did he mean his body was hot?

Did he mean that his features were hot?

Did he mean that his ass was hot, which wouldn't be a shocker, noting that the raven was rubbing against him.

Did he mean that his--private area was hot? The hand caressing his thigh seemingly crept its way closer to his member, and assuming that was Sasuke's implication wouldn't be a surprise--much.

Naruto determined that Sasuke could've meant anything and decided to lay his insinuations to rest.

"Sasuke", Naruto trailed again. Sasuke latched himself to Naruto's shoulder, gently kissing his sun-kissed skin. His hand around his waist, and he explored his torso lasciviously, whilst his other tenderly ghosted over his skin.

"Don't worry", he whispered breathless in his ear. Sasuke kissed and sucked his collarbone, slowly breaching his neck. Naruto tilted his head, disclosing more of his neck to the Uchiha. "Naruto", he moaned softly. Naruto moaned as well, when he felt the Uchiha's hand wrap around his member.

Sasuke's hand trickled down his chest, softly clawing into his navel. He perceived Naruto's body tense slightly when his lips lightly grazed over his pulse.

Naruto shivered. Sasuke twirled his tongue around the pulse of his neck before nibbling on the sweet flesh. Sasuke trailed his tongue against his skin until he reached behind his ear.

"I'm going to take care of you", he whispered, a soft euphonious moan escaping between his lips. "Don't worry, Naruto". He direly, but leisurely stroked his shaft, his fingers clenching around it, loathing his absent moans. "I'm going to take care of you", then he devoured the shell of his ear.

Naruto moaned. "Sas"-- Naruto's arms felt numb. His body under the lavishing warmth of the water, and his skin underneath the Uchiha's tender, breathtaking touch, delivered him a world of bliss.

"I'm going to take care of you Naruto". Sasuke's hand enclosed across Naruto's neck, whilst the other stroked the blonde's -- now -- erecting member. Sasuke genteelly pulled his head back, resting it onto his shoulder.

Naruto closed his eyes, succumbing to the stimulating pleasure. Allowing his body to indulge in the delectability, his mind shrouded in the feeling, shivers rushed over every cell in his body. His muscles tightening desirably as the tension deteriorated from the placate heat rolling down his body.

Sasuke's pace didn't speed up, but the tightness encircling the blonde's member amassed.

"Sas...Sas-uke", Naruto moaned. "I-I..." he trailed, bellowing beguiling moans that rang through the Uchiha's ears with delightful excitement.

Sasuke captured the blonde's lips within his own. Naruto could taste him. He could taste every inch of his tavern. The distinguishable, sharp and salty taste; Sasuke tasted of unsavory, sweat. Salty, dirty sweat.

The foul flavor dissipated and dissolved in his mouth. The taste lingered in the back of his throat. He spat in the Uchiha's mouth.

He felt lighter, and cooler. The Uchiha wasn't holding him anymore, and the warmth of the water seemed to have evaporated around him.

Naruto opened his eyes.

---------

Everything was darkened. There was only one source of lighting, and that was the small light over head that brightened a few inches ahead.

If he squinted his eyes, Naruto could discern what he believed to be a door. He looked around and noted that he was surrounded, each angle and every degree he turned there was a door.

Where there's a door, there's always a secret on the other side.

Naruto wondered what secrets laid behind these doors. He sauntered towards one of the doors, but it seemed as he got closer, they became further. He looked down at his feet to make sure they were indeed moving. Yes they were. He also noted he was still naked.

He looked up, befuddlement etched into his features. He was still underneath the small light.

Then he heard creaking. The door ahead was slightly ajar and slowly being pushed opened. With each second passing by, caused the anxiousness in the pit of his stomach to rise and enclose inside his chest.

He held his breath as pale blue fingers gripped the edge of the door, defying Naruto's worrisome anxiety to wanting to discern the anonymous.

The door pushed open entirely, and the subject stepped in. Naruto wasn't able to see the person while enveloped in darkness.

There was a bang, and another small light that loomed over the door sprung to life. The dim strip of yellow shone from the small light was barely sufficient. The meek gloss, illuminated the figures features meagerly, but enough to note its jet-black hair.

Naruto also noted its pale skin, but aside all else, Naruto recognized those obsidian eyes. The eyes that were so cold yet filled with such warmth. The eyes that seemingly show one emotion -- hatred --, but can sometimes harbor plenty, all at once.

The eyes of a masterpiece. The very structure of art itself. "Sasuke"? Naruto inquired. No response. "Sasuke"! No response. Naruto squinted his eyes, witnessing Sasuke's emotionless eyes fill with a devilish fire, and his lips curled into a smirk.

Sasuke took a step forward, the door closing behind him automatically with a click.

"Sasuke"? Naruto inquired. "What's wrong with you? Why are you looking at me like that"? Sasuke took a step towards Naruto. "Sasu--"

"Naruto". Sasuke stated plainly, and took another step further. His eyes still held the devilish fire, but his smirk was gone. Naruto took a step back-- at least tried to. "It's been awhile, eh Naruto"? There was much distance between the two, but that didn't stop the incessant waves of nervousness from shivering down Naruto's spine.

The sickliness of the Uchiha's voice goaded Naruto's pounding heart. "You've suppressed me, for so long". Sasuke stated hoarsely, as if chilled by the fact.

"What? Wha-what are you talking about"? Naruto sputtered. Sasuke took another step forward, disappearing into the shadows. Naruto squinted his eyes. "Sasuke"! No response, save for the echo of his foot steps.

Then he heard clapping. Clapping that echoed through his ears. Then it stopped as quickly as it had come. In his peripheral vision, Naruto noted the Uchiha positioned behind him, staring over his shoulder.

Naruto's eyes broadened meagerly as the Uchiha's arms stealthily wrapped around his waist. "Why are you erasing me Naruto"? He asked. He rested his head on Naruto's head, his solacing voice, daunting.

"I'm--" Naruto was cut off with Sasuke's embrace tightening around his abdomen. Sasuke buried his head into the curve of Naruto's shoulder and neck.

"Don't erase me Naruto", he begged. He sounded on the verge of tears. Naruto stared blankly at his own feet.

The ground began to quake and the doors crumbled. The ground broke beneath them, and the little light overhead shattered, leaving only the two of them standing in mid-air.

Everything was darkened. Naruto continued to stare down, not sure if he was starring at his feet anymore.

Naruto noted a splendor blue light shooting up from beneath them, gobbling them whole. The beam blasted through the ceiling, taking whatever it devours with it. Naruto and Sasuke followed the light through the ceiling.

Naruto speculatively scanned his surroundings. Yep, he's in the air. Floating, or flying, which ever one it is. He noted the beam of light forming visions of a blonde kid, which he recognized to be himself.

The vision succumbed to a memorable memory. It imaged the blonde of about eight, perhaps nine. He was talking to a very familiar boy with black hair and light streaks that only shone in the fluorescents of the sun.

He saw himself out on what seemed to be a playground. He saw Sasuke swinging on the swings, and envisions himself laggardly stalking over to the swing-set to take the seat beside him.

He remembered, but he wished he hadn't.

Flash Back

Both swings reiterated the same incessant rhythm; back and forth, back and forth. All was in silence until Sasuke -- surprisingly --opts to spark a conversation.

"What do you want now"? Sasuke inquired, a mixture of sadness and irritability intertwined.

Silence engulfed the air once again, save for the squeaking of the swings, but both soon came to a halt.

.........

"I-I'm sorry Sasuke..." he trailed. That was all he could say. What more is there to say? What do you say when someone loses both their parents and the principal announces it so nonchalant over the P.A.

But of course Sasuke didn't cry when he heard it. He wasn't going to cry. Death happens. There's no point in crying over it, right? Even if both of your parents are shot dead for sixteen dollars and thirty two cent, that's no reason to cry is it? Death happens, even though some more pointless than others. But it happens. So no, he wasn't going to cry, he wouldn't give them the pleasure in seeing him do such a thing...he wouldn't......

He cried, and he cried, and he cried, and Naruto could only watch, helplessly as he did so.

He could only watch as his friend bellowed his eyes out. How could he comfort him? What kinds of approach are you suppose to take? He could say, "Its okay Sasuke, don't cry". But this was not okay; it wasn't going to be okay for a long while...it was never going to be, 'okay'. He knew it wasn't.

Naruto didn't know what to do. Helpless. Helplessly he watched, the scene tearing him piece by piece with each second. Each second felt like hours that slowly killed him on the inside.

"Sasuke...", again he trailed. How helpless he was to him was frightening in a way. How pathetic he felt was agonizing. How worthless it was, how painfully worthless it all was.

Naruto sighed very lowly. His eyes quaked tearfully. He tried to embrace him, but Sasuke rebelliously shoved him back. Naruto fell from his swing onto his romp.

"Don't touch me"! He shouted, shooting up to his feet. He tried to glare past his tears. Consistently, one after another, none stop they fell. They wouldn't stop falling.

Naruto stared up mortified. Sasuke was glaring at him as if he killed both his parents. Naruto felt the fire boil inside the raven lurking for an outlet. Sasuke looked like he wanted to kill, and torture; cut and stab through flesh, rip limbs from bodies, break bones, gauge eyes, and even castrate anyone that dared to fuck with him...

"Why'd you do that"? Naruto inquired mournfully. His voice was soft. "I was trying to help you". He stated. He grabbed the chain of the swing to pull himself up.

"You can't help me"! Sasuke shouted. His eyes began to turn crimson red. "Just get the fuck out of my sight, fucking dumb ass"! He barked. Sasuke's glare intensified. Slowly a void began to form in his chest.

"I was only trying--"

"The only way you can possibly help is if you can bring them back"!

There was a dreaded silence.

Without another word, Sasuke turned and stormed off. Not another tear managed to escape his eyes. Naruto could only stare as the Uchiha disappeared; hurt and alone.

End Flash Back

Sasuke's embraced tightened again, forcing him from his thoughts. Naruto remembered that day, very vividly, and he hated that he did. He realized that was the day that Sasuke became so standoffish from everyone else. If only he could've done something, but Sasuke was right.

'The only way you can possibly help is if you can bring them back', which he couldn't possibly do.

The beam of light continued to lift them higher.

Naruto closed his eyes for a brief moment to try to shroud his heartache. Then he opened them. Windows of his life spun around him at high speed.

He stared within the blue light that screened his life. The gleeful blonde within the light seemed about ten, perhaps eleven, a wide grin upon his face. Again he seemed to be talking to the kid with black and sluggish blue streaks in his hair.

The scene was memorable. He recognized the area. The two younger boys were on the bridge that crossed over the small gully and somewhat on the borderline of leaving the village. He remembered this one quite vividly as well for some queer reasoning.

Flash Back

Sasuke stormed along, his death-like glare in play as the blonde towed behind him blabbing on an on. Sasuke growled in the back of his throat. On and on he talked and talked, and more and more the Uchiha became agitated.

"Shut! Up"! Sasuke growled. Naruto was taken aback, but soon enough he was smiling. "Why are you following me? Go home!" He demanded before striding off.

"Why aren't you going home"? Naruto inquired, towing behind him once again. Sasuke permitted another growl to boil in the back of his throat.

"It's none of your business". He stated. "Just leave me alone, and go home Naruto".

Naruto followed in silence for awhile. The sun was setting over the bridge, whilst fluorescent sparkles danced around the rivers groove and surface. Combinations of orange, yellow, blue, red, and gold bunch together like a mighty fist, lingering over the horizon before slowly waning.

"Why can't I know"? Naruto inquired, somewhat obliviously.

"'Cuz it's none of your business". Sasuke stated a second time. "Leave me alone and go home Naruto"! Sasuke all but shouted.

"No"! Naruto shouted. "Tell me where you're going". He demanded. Sasuke was feed up with him; so much that Naruto could hear the vibrations of his growls pounding in the back of his throat now.

Sasuke clenched his fists.........

After awhile, Sasuke came to the inconclusive assumption that Naruto wouldn't go away unless he was satisfied with meddling into his life.

"Fine"! Sasuke surrendered, unclenching his fists. He turned to Naruto. "But you better not tell anyone. Especially Itachi", and in a flash Sasuke was latched onto Naruto's collar. "Do you understand me Uzumaki"! He barked. Naruto nodded.

Sasuke took in a sharp intake of breath before releasing it.

Naruto grinned broad-fully. His smile was vexing to the Uchiha, but he couldn't shake the fact that it was somewhat solacing as well.

"I'm going--"

End Flash Back

"I love you Naruto". Sasuke whispered. Naruto snapped from his daze of reminiscent. In his peripheral vision he could see the Uchiha descending onto his neck.

Sasuke placed butterfly kiss around his neck.

His embrace felt weaker.

"Don't erase me Naruto, I love you". Sasuke said. Naruto looked down at the arms that coiled around his waist, only to see Sasuke deteriorating before his eyes.

Sasuke was peeling, breaking off into pieces. "Naruto", the Uchiha began, his voice surprisingly low. "If you erase me, I won't be able to love you. I won't be able to protect you and hold you in my arms. Naruto, please don't ignore me". Sasuke paused. "Say you love me and I'll be complete again, just say you love me".

Naruto stared in befuddlement as Sasuke slowly wasted away. Naruto tried opening his mouth, but it wouldn't open. He tried again and ended with the same results. It was as if someone glued his mouth shut, or as if he didn't have a mouth anymore.

His eyes broadened. He lifted his hand to his mouth, but there was nothing there. No lips, no teeth, no gums, no mouth. No mouth means no words, which meant Naruto had to again watch helplessly as Sasuke crumbled before him.

"Just tell me you love me Naruto".

No! He couldn't do that, not again. He couldn't idly sit by and watch Sasuke wither away. He tried to talk anyway, but everything he said sounded like he had a lump lodged in the back of his throat.

"Say it Naruto". He tried again, but it resulted with the same, with a frog in the back of his throat. "Please Naruto", Sasuke squawked.

Naruto rigorously began screaming incoherently. Nothing seemed to work, but he wasn't about to give in, he wouldn't be able to live with himself. The torment of leaving Sasuke to practically fend for his own isn't worth waking every night breaking into cold sweats, and thinking of what you could've or should've done.

It's not worth it, especially when the person is right beside you.

Naruto's conscience was heavy; it was overbearingly overwhelmed with guilt. In his worst of times Sasuke managed to be there for Naruto whenever and however he could.

Naruto on the other hand, could only witness Sasuke fall and plummet through his trials of tribulations.

He came to realize that Sasuke was always there for him when he needed him. He was there no matter what.

Naruto closed his eyes. He didn't know what to do. He had no mouth, and no words. His arms felt like boulders attached to his body.

'Stay with me Sasuke. Don't leave, I need you'.

Tears stained the corner of his eyes making a speedy get away, slowly trailing down his cheeks. Each representing Naruto's suffering heart.

He couldn't withstand the pain. The pain of betrayal that he knew was settled into Sasuke's heart. The pain of guilt that scrambled through his body like pterodactyls pounded the inside of his chest.

The pain of hurting that stabbed through the raven's heart like an expert serial killer.

Teary eyes opened reluctantly.

---------

Naruto found himself back in his apartment, in his room. He looked down to see Sasuke's arms shaking around his waist.

"See Naruto, I love you". Sasuke demonstrated, whilst his lips brushed up his neck. Naruto followed his movements with his eyes. Sasuke stared at the blank space ahead of them.

Naruto rotated his attention to the space in front of them. It was him. He was lying in his bed, asleep. There was one of his kitchen table chairs in his room to.

He didn't get it. What did it mean?

He was about to ask when nothing more than soft muffling echoed around their parameter.

He didn't have a mouth. He forgot, after all these years he willingly spoke freely.

'Fuck'!

Then he felt the warmth of Sasuke's lips against his neck. "I love you Naruto". Sasuke whispered into his skin.

Naruto could only groan. He gasped as a long shiver crawled through his body. His mind boggled, stirring up a headache, and his fingers shook violently.

Sasuke had walked right through him.

'What the hell'?!

Naruto looked down and seen arms still wrapped around his body. What the hell was going on? How'd Sasuke just walk right through him like that? Wait! Was it another memory? Of course!

...Just one that he's living over again, but can't be seen in?

Now that he thought about it this scene didn't seem too distant from the others.

His eyes slightly widened when sudden realization dawned on him. How could he forget?

'Sai'! He mentally growled.

Naruto watched the scene before him unravel.

Sasuke sat on the chair next to the sleeping Naruto. He tucked the sheets tighter around him before settling back into his seat.

Sasuke studied the sleeping blonde. He noted the pain that seemed embedded within his heart surfacing.

Sasuke wonder why he couldn't help him. Why was it so hard to help him? Why was it so hard to step from his comfort zone for a second? Why couldn't he kneel and help the fallen?

Sometimes Naruto can make Sasuke want to cry.

"I'll never leave you again Naruto". Sasuke said. He grabbed the boy's hand, intertwining their fingers.

Naruto watched in astonishment. This was no memory of his.

'Maybe its one of Sasuke's memories'.

Naruto noted the arms around him deteriorating more and more, and he could feel Sasuke's face buried into the joint of his shoulder and collarbone.

That was the only explanation. Sasuke caught Naruto's attention as he lifted from the chair and leant over the bed.

"I know you like Sakura Naruto, but...", Sasuke descended upon Naruto, pressing his lips against the blonde's. He lifted. "...but, I love you". Sasuke whispered.

Naruto tried to reach out to Sasuke, but his arms were as stiff as stone. The scene before him began to crumble, and become shrouded in an unknown darkness.

'Sasuke'! Naruto mentally screamed, his teary eyes returning. Naruto shut his eyes tightly.

He could hear the walls crumble around him. He could hear the heart of the Uchiha beat slowly, as if near death. He could hear an incessant screech ringing in his head.

Naruto muffled a cough.

What was most clear was the crying that rang through his head.

He didn't understand why, but at the same time he did.

It was punishment. Why? That's unclear to him, but he knew it was.

Naruto hesitantly peer his eyes open, only to be shone the same dark room he was in at the beginning.

Sasuke was still clung to him. Naruto stared out his peripheral vision, realizing half the Uchiha's face was deteriorated. He looked down, noting the arms that were once there were now gone.

"Naruto, say you love me. Say you love me and I won't go away". Sasuke begged. It was like an infectious disease spreading through his body, eating him from the inside out.

No matter what Naruto did, or how much he wanted to say it, he couldn't.

Then an unseemly revulsion in the atmosphere made Naruto feel as though he couldn't breathe. He was suffocating, where'd the air go? Why does something smell burnt?

"Naruto, you're erasing me. Why are you putting me through such torture? I can't breathe Naruto. My heart is being burnt out my chest. I-I can't breathe Naruto, please. Say you love me". A tear fell from Sasuke's eye that was still visible.

Sasuke was burning like wildfire. It wasn't just his heart that was burning.

It was everything. Everything from physical appearance to emotional stability, it was all blazing in a pool of betrayal.

'I'm sorry Sasuke'. Naruto cried.

"You're killing me Naruto". Sasuke stated, mournfully.

Naruto didn't say a word, he couldn't say a word. He was continuing to suffocate as Sasuke burnt brutally from the inside out.

They both stood in silence. The only sounds echoing from the scorching fire blazing, that was now on the outside of the Uchiha.

They resisted the urge to speak. Nothing more could be said, save from Naruto's part.

.........

Sasuke was now only half a head, tears continuing to roll from his cheeks onto the floor, mixing with Naruto's that cascaded down his face.

Sasuke took a sharp breathe in. He was being strangled by his love, choked and beaten to death. "You-you killed me Naruto...You killed me...", Sasuke stated sorrowfully that came out as a whisper. "...But, but I-I...forgive you. Naruto, I love...", tears fell faster from his one eye as they did from both of Naruto's, combined. "...you", he breathed out.

Then he was gone.

For the first time since he was in this crazy, confusing, fucked up place, he was able to move and he fell to his knees instinctively.

Naruto wanted so badly to scream. "Sasuke"! He cried out wrathfully before his soul was broken.

Then there was a bang! Naruto didn't care to look up, but his body did impulsively not caring. The bang came from the door directly across from the door Sasuke appeared out of.

All the lights huddling over each of the doors came to life, together blazing splendor fluorescents.

Footsteps were heard crawling down, what seemed endless hallway towards the light. The figure sauntered into the room balefully, a sinister smirk etched into his features.

He sauntered over to Naruto.

"Hello Naruto", came his slick tone.

"Sai". Naruto greeted casually.

'What the hell? I have a mouth!? Why am I acting so nice to him after what he did to me'! Naruto mentally growled. He wouldn't stand for this any longer. He wouldn't be in fear by Sai's presents.

Sai knelt down in front of the blonde, his smirk still in play. He tangled his fingers in Naruto's blonde locks, brusquely pulling him forward into a kiss.

Naruto tried pulling away but his body wouldn't cooperate. It seemed to correspond with Sai's movements as he involuntarily began to kiss him back with intent force.

Sai gripped his hair tighter around his knuckles, pulling him back. That evil smirk scarred into his face.

'What the fuck just happened!?! What the hell is wrong with me now? I can't control my body'.

"I you love Naruto"? Sai inquired, malefic.

'So the fuck what, what do you want me to say. You want me to say I love you back?! Fuck you Sai'!

"I love you to", Naruto replied, and curtly smiled afterwards.

'Wait! What I didn't say that'!

Sai's smirk turned into a bashful grin as he released Naruto's locks. "I want you to prove it. Prove you love me Naruto". Sai stated malignly.

He stood and snapped his fingers. Numerous bangs sounded as each door began to fling open, one after another. Each figure becoming instantly illuminated by the lights above their doors. Naruto scanned around him, noting each figure was the same as the one in front of him.

"Are going to prove you love me Naruto"? Sai inquired.

'I don't love you'. Naruto nodded. Inner Naruto growled, conclusively determining that nothing he says even matters. His body his whimper at Sai's feet like a little rag doll being control by their owner or playmate. Or even a puppet being controlled by their master.

A prostitute being controlled by their fear because they're frighten of the consequences that wait if they don't obey. That's exactly how it is.

'You little punk bitch! Why are you giving in to him'? Naruto mentally barked to himself. 'How dare you be so weak? He isn't going to do anything! I hate you'.

Sai and his duplicates surrounded the blonde in an unequal circle. Hell you can't even call it a circle. They're all scattered in places where as if Naruto tries to escape he'll run into one of them. So much for 'I love you', how could Sai love him if he doesn't even trust him?!

Naruto turned and looked behind him. Two of the duplicates hands was glowing a sky blue color, and as he scanned the room a second time he noted that many of them had the same colored hands. It was sort of like a visible aura encircling their flesh.

The initial Sai smirked wider. "How do you tend to prove it to me"? He inquired impressionably.

Just as Naruto was about to speak, the replica's attacked him from behind, their glowing blue hands piercing through his back all at once.

Naruto gasped at the unusual intrusion.

Amazingly no blood shed was occurring and there was no wound to clean as they punched through him. It's as if they weren't aiming to physically harm him.

One pulled out of the blonde, which he seemed to be holding something in his hands. Naruto wasn't able to see it, but the initial Sai grinned beyond smugly at his counterparts.

Then another pulled his hand from the blonde. Naruto looked up into Sai's coal eyes as he stared at the scene undergoing behind the blonde. Naruto was clearly able to see the reflection in his eyes.

Another pulled back. Looking into Sai's eyes Naruto noted it was some blue substance they were pulling out of him.

Inside Naruto began felt emptier and emptier as each Sai pulled away, ripping the material from his person.

Inner Naruto's voice was becoming weaker as each Sai's struck an unknown matter and ripped it from his body.

He was mentally being broken. 'You dumbass, they're killing us! Stop them'! Naruto mentally scorned himself and Sai and all the others like him. 'They're tearing out your soul. Piece by piece...Damn it Naruto they are killing you'!

"Show me how much you love me". Sai mocked. Naruto's body reached for the others pants. 'No'! He pinched the zipper, undoing it. All the while he was slowly being killed from the inside. Like Sasuke.

'Don't do this Naruto'. He pulled down his pants and boxers in one movement. He was met by Sai's hard cock. Sai tangled his fingers through Naruto's hair once again. Naruto slowly descended his head.

'No! Don't demean yourself! Don't stoop to that level! Naruto you're stronger than this'! Naruto mentally screamed, but his voice was so weak he wasn't even a second thought.

'Fool'. Then he was gone.

Naruto was about to take the tip of Sai's cock into his mouth when the raven's grip amassed around his hair halting all movements. Naruto looked up only to be met by the ravens daunting gaze and obsidian eyes.

His grin had receded back into a malicious smirk.

"Who is Sasuke Uchiha"? Sai inquired, his eyes as concrete as cement itself. Those dark orbs looking through his eyes at what little soul he had left.

Naruto continued to stare at him, lost. "I never heard of him". Naruto replied. Sai's grin returned now and he nodded to his counterparts.

They stopped tearing at the blonde.

"That's right Naruto, you never heard of him. He's nobody". Sai stated. "Now continue to express your love for me Naruto". Naruto descended his head onto the raven slowly. "That's right; suck it like a good little whore".

Naruto took him into his mouth.

Sai closed his eyes. "You belong to me now"! He shoved Naruto's head onto his cock making him take it whole.

Naruto began to break. Break like glass. He was about to pass out when, "Fuck him", Sai edicts to the others.

'Noooo'! Naruto mentally screams before fainting to unconsciousness.

"Noooo"! Naruto shouted, jolting up straight. He woke in a cold sweat breathing heavily. Naruto's eyes nearly bulging out of his head with the abrupt awaking.

He looked around, noting he was still in the guest room. He jumped when the scraping of the tree branch outside the window screeched twice a loud from the midnight's heavy winds.

Then his bedroom door was kicked open almost immediately as he was calming himself down.

"Naruto"! Sasuke called alarmed. "What's wrong"? He inquired alert. Naruto's breathing was evened out.

"It's nothing Sasuke. It was just a nightmare, I'm alright". He explained a bit shakily.

Sasuke sighed. He looked over at clock that read: 3:33 in the morning. Then he turned back to Naruto before sighing and yawning.

"Are you sure"? Sasuke inquired, and Naruto nodded. "Alright", Sasuke turned on his heels and sauntered towards the door.

"Sasuke", Naruto called. The raven stopped and turned around, reiterating to yawn. "Could--could you sleep with me tonight"? Naruto asked timidly.

Sasuke only stared, with an indescribable visage. "What"? Was all he could think of saying.

"I asked if you could, sleep in here with me tonight". That clarified it for the raven.

"Oh". Sasuke said ignorantly.

The Uchiha sighed before sauntering over to the bed.

"Scoot over". Sasuke ordered. Naruto shifted to make enough room, wincing as he does so. Sasuke threw the covers back and climbed in. "This is only a one time thing, you know that right"?

Naruto chuckled. "Yeah, yeah, I know".

Sasuke sighed for the third time, which made Naruto smile. That nightmare was quite something. It was full of lies, well not entirely. But he wondered if Sasuke's memory was an actual memory and not something he just wanted to happen.

'I'll find out later'. "Good night Sasuke". Sasuke grunted in response. Naruto turned with his back facing the Uchiha and closed his eyes.

Sasuke turned towards Naruto, wrapping his arms around him. It was unexpected and Naruto's eyes instantly snapped open. Sasuke just cuddled closer.

Naruto sighed so lowly it sounded like easy breathing. He allowed the Uchiha to embrace him and he closed his eyes.

Sasuke was surprised that worked, he was kind of sure that Naruto was going to perhaps push him off.

Hell he was happy it worked.

'Must've been one hell of a nightmare', Sasuke concluded. 'Well I'll always be here for you Naruto. Nightmare's, dreams or fantasies I'll do whatever it takes'.

The corner of Sasuke's lips tugged upward into a meager smile. 'Good night Naruto'.

Whilst Naruto and the Uchiha cuddled up together, Sai was out Naruto's window standing on the tree branch that wouldn't shut up, beyond pissed.

He gritted his teeth, glaring at the blonde wrathfully and at the raven in disgust. The frustration boiling in the pit of his stomach roared in the back of his throat.

"Son of a bitch"! Sai barked, being drowned out by the harsh winds. He turned and punched the tree, and some of its bark shed and fell to the ground.

His piercing eyes glared daggers at the two. How pissed he was! He was fucking beyond pissed! He was ready, ready to jump through the window and beat Sasuke's ass. One day he would.

Even though he's pissed beyond imagination, he couldn't help but smile.

"Oh, you've perhaps won this round Uchiha, but the next is mine. He will belong to me Uchiha"! He growled.

He turned on his heels and took the high jump from the tree. He ran down the street into the darkening night.

Sai chuckled.

"When I'm done with you Naruto, you won't know the name Uchiha even exists anymore". He chuckled. He closed his eyes as he ran with the winds.

Then they suddenly snapped open.

"I'll break you"! He growled.

I know, I just have to have a dramatic ending right. Ha ha! :D

I again apologize for the extended wait, and I'm sure this chapter doesn't make up for it; I'll try to make one that does. I kind of lost some of my writing abilities or whatever and its becoming harder to explain what I'm thinking of in my head to you guys so that's one reason why it took so long.

Well I hope you enjoyed it! ^_^ The next chapter won't take nearly as long as this one.

Great ^_^, Good :D, Bad :(, Horrible T^T... All criticism welcome, it always was.

Review Please!
