Chapter Eleven
Kakashi slowly began to come to. When he opened his eyes light hit his face. Kakashi snapped back to reality it was day light outside. He had been out all night Kakashi got up ignoring the pain in his head. He ran to Sasuke's room hoping he was still there.
Kakashi walked in and couldn't believe what he saw. Sasuke was still on the bed but he was tied up to the posts again only he was on his stomach. There was blood on the walls, the floor and the bed. There was a puddle of blood where the blood from Sasuke's ass was coming from. There were more gashes in his back some right down to muscle.
His arms had second degree burns on them from some fire technique. He had eight broken fingers and there was blood coming down his wrists from the ropes. Kakashi came over and removed all of the ropes. He then checked to see if there was a pulse. Kakashi let out a breath it was weak but it was there. Kakashi turned Sasuke over to see what other damage was done he couldn't believe what he saw. His leg was broken; he had deep gashes like his back all over his torso. His face was left untouched Kakashi was sure that was, because they didn't want to have to look at a broken face. Kakashi could tell that Sasuke was barely breathing. Kakashi grabbed a blanket and wrapped Sasuke up in it being careful not to hurt him anymore.
He took off for the hospital he knew Tsunade would be there. Kakashi knew the importance of having to tread softly when dealing with Danzou but Sasuke couldn't wait any longer. He knew they needed physical proof to take Danzou down they had to do something now though. Kakashi got to the hospital and found Tsunade at the nurse's desk. Tsunade turned around and she couldn't believe it. Instead of saying anything she just pointed to the open room.
Kakashi placed Sasuke down on the bed; Tsunade came over and saw Sasuke's condition. She turned to Kakashi.
'Leave me alone with him Kakashi."
Kakashi gave a nod he understood what Tsunade needed to do. She needed sometime with Sasuke to make sure he would survive. She had to focus and she couldn't focus with Kakashi breathing down her neck. Kakashi went and sat down in the waiting room he knew Tsunade would be a while with Sasuke.
Kakashi couldn't believe all of the blood it was everywhere. He didn't even know where to start to clean it up. Sasuke had slowly started to become like a son to Kakashi. All of this was affecting him more then he wanted to admit.
Sasuke always had a hard wall up, but Kakashi could see right through it. From day one he always saw that traumatized scared boy that Sasuke really was. He had always possessed more interest in Sasuke then the others. Even though Sasuke never showed it, it was clear to Kakashi that he needed someone more. Sasuke needed a parent someone to make him feel safe, someone to take care of him, someone to make him feel loved. Kakashi wanted to give him that more then anything.
It had been four hours before Tsunade finally walked into the waiting room. She was greeted by the same thing every time she waked in to inform Kakashi. He was always sitting in the third seat in the middle of the room. It had the view of the door and was right in front of the clock. He had his head down and eyes focused on the floor, his hands were clamped together with his arms resting on his knees.
"Kakashi"
Kakashi looked up to see Tsunade standing in front of him.
"How is he?"
"He's stable right now though this time was different."
"What do you mean by that?"
"Besides it being more aggressive Sasuke fought back. That's probably why the attack was more aggressive."
"He fought back?"
"He did that's what took so long. We were able to recover some skin from under his fingernails. There were also some seamen that we recovered. We took swabs of all the blood just incase Sasuke hurt one of them. It's all at the lab right now being processed, he fought back."
"How are his wounds?"
"He's in rough shape he won't be leaving the hospital for a few days. His arms are wrapped they were covered in second degree burns. His wrists are badly cut apart my guess would be from trying to free himself. He also has rope burns around both ankles. His back is what is the worst it'll take the longest to heal it'll also be the most painful. His left knee was blown out he'll need to be on crutches for a few weeks till it's fully healed. Other then that everything is just cuts, bruises, stitches and a few cracked ribs. I was able to heal his fingers, that's about it."
"Is he asleep?"
"He is right now yes. There is one more thing Kakashi."
"He was raped I know."
"It was more aggressive as well they raped him, but they didn't wait for the other to finish."
"What do you mean?"
"There were two people inside of him at one time. There was massive damage done Kakashi he can not be raped again if he is he'll bleed out and he'll die. Not even I will be able to save him the damage is too great. As for his mental state I'm not sure if it's a good idea to let him leave the hospital. He should be in the mental patient ward for a psycho valuation. He's going to break soon but he'll only hurt himself."
"I'll watch him if you put him in there it'll only make him worse. Right now he still trusts me; he won't if you put him in there."
"Alright, let's hope that one of the men he hurt was Danzou. He's going to be out for a while till morning at least. I need you to go back and get as much evidence that you can from your place. We need to be completely prepared for when we arrest Danzou and his men."
"Ok I will go collect everything I can I'll be back soon."
Kakashi left the hospital to go back to his apartment. In all honesty it was the last place he wanted to be. He knew he had to go though he had to get as much evidence that he could for Sasuke's sake.
When Kakashi got home he went and grabbed his camera to take pictures of the room. Once Kakashi took all of the pictures he began to look around the room; slowly trying to put together what happened. He saw that the room was torn apart which meant that Sasuke had fought before he was tied down. Kakashi saw on the floor that there was blood mixed with saliva, Sasuke had bit one of their tongues. Kakashi took a swab of it and kept going.
Kakashi saw that there was blood on the base of a lamp that laid on the floor. There was a bloody handprint it was too small to be from an adult. Sasuke truly did fight back he hit one with the lamp. Kakashi swabbed the blood and turned his attention to the drag marks on the floor. You could see the blood smear on the floor from Sasuke's back. He was fighting while they were cutting his back apart.
Kakashi went towards the bed there was blood all over it. Kakashi could see handprints in the blood he took pictures of them all. He saw a smaller set of prints from Sasuke trying to get off the bed. He followed the prints with his eye they lead to the door. Sasuke had tried to crawl away probably hoping to get to Kakashi for help. They had dragged him back Kakashi could tell that they were enraged. The shoe prints of blood were dark impressions; whoever made them put full weight on their feet. Kakashi took pictures and measurements of each one.
Kakashi could tell that was the last time Sasuke could get away. He was beaten and strapped down, though not before he had kicked one in the face. Kakashi saw a piece of ANBU mask and a single tooth. Kakashi recognized the piece of mask belonged to the one wearing the fish mask. Kakashi knew what would have happened next they raped him then beat him some more.
Kakashi noticed on the posts where Sasuke's arms were tied down to there was scorch marks in the wood. Kakashi was wondering if the burns came from Sasuke's fire technique or not. He saw that the ropes were thick they also had some burn markings on them. Kakashi wasn't sure he would have to ask Sasuke but it appeared that they came from Sasuke's own fire technique. Almost as if it was Sasuke's last chance of trying to get away he tried to burn the ropes. Though Kakashi didn't know for certain, Sasuke would have had to have done it with using just one hand for a seal and he was fairly certain Sasuke didn't know how to do so.
Kakashi took swabs from any blood that looked out of place. He took at least a hundred pictures of everything once satisfied he left the room. Kakashi couldn't handle feeling the fear and pain in the room from Sasuke anymore; he was beginning to feel like he couldn't breath. Them being there just reminded Kakashi of everything that happened. Kakashi couldn't fight the urge any longer he needed a shower before returning to the hospital.
There were so many images invading his mind; Kakashi was starting to wonder if he would start having nightmares from them. The emotional pain was starting to take it's toll on Kakashi. He couldn't help but feel like he was helplessly standing by watching Sasuke slowly die. Kakashi knew that Sasuke was going to break soon, there's only so much abuse a person can take. There was too much pain for one person to handle Sasuke was slowly dying inside it was only a matter of time before he did.
Kakashi sighed as he stepped out of the shower he needed to get back to Sasuke. Kakashi had already been here for three hours he needed to see Sasuke. Tsunade had said it would be awhile before Sasuke woke up, but with Sasuke you never know. Kakashi wanted to be there for Sasuke when he woke up. Kakashi knew that he would be in a great deal of pain. He also knew that he would be terrified, Sasuke had always hated hospitals. Kakashi got dressed and headed out after he grabbed his bag full of evidence from the room.
Kakashi got to the hospital and found Tsunade and handed the bag over to her. Once that was done Tsunade told him what room Sasuke was in. Kakashi headed for Sasuke's hospital room; he felt like he got punched in the guy the closer he got. Finally he stood in front of Sasuke's hospital room, slowly he entered the room. Sasuke was still asleep in the bed he only had an IV in his arm. Kakashi thought that Sasuke would be hooked up to machines, but he wasn't.
Kakashi went over to Sasuke and pulled the blanket up so he wouldn't get cold. After making sure that he was okay Kakashi pulled the chair over and sat down right beside the bed. He then pulled his book out to read and wait till Sasuke woke up.
