So in this chapter we have some very bitter Konoha ninja, a livid Itachi, and a rather hypocritical Sasuke… XD… I'll leave you to see what I mean… Enjoy!

"Damn! You couldn't track them, could you Hinata?!" Sakura's heart was beating frantically as the other girl shook her head sadly. No… I missed him… He's gone and I won't see him for… Months, years; maybe never… She lowered her head as the tears ran down her cheeks. I never stopped loving you, Sasuke…

"Naruto… He's gone. We should return to Konoha; they may have gathered more information on Akatsuki's whereabouts…" the copy nin stared hopelessly at where Sasuke had disappeared, you don't feel much anymore, do you Sasuke? And yet you continue to run away from the only thing you need… People like me who actually care. Kakashi shook his head violently to clear it; I've got to put this on hold… The important thing right now is getting everyone back and finding some hope of tracking them.
"That's bullshit Kakashi… They don't care about him; they're just happy that he's finally gone and they don't have to worry about his power. I know you know that they don't give a fuck… I'm sick of their promises." Naruto was looking at the ground, concentrating desperately on somehow revealing the whereabouts of the only person he ever cared about with such depth. "So you guys can go… Just tell Granny Tsunade that I'm done with their policies; I won't leave him to be abused by those sick bastards."
"Naruto, just listen to Kakashi-sensei; we'll figure it out when we get back." She attempted a smile, but couldn't manage more than a strange grimace, "You know they formed a special Anbu task force to look into Akatsuki, so they might know where-" Sakura began quietly; she too was trying to deal with the stolen hope.
"It's shit, Sakura! You know it as well as I do; they don't care about him like we do! The only way he'll come back is if we find him… Goddamnit we have to save him from that mess!" the blonde had turned around to shout at the motionless group. They stared back at him with a common expression. Was it pity? "… Fine. Just leave then! All of you fucking traitors just go back and live your lives! I won't stop looking; he'd do the same for us."
Neji's gaze suddenly turned hard. "No, Naruto, he wouldn't. Are you blind to his disregard? I thought he made it all too obvious that he just doesn't care anymore. You know that eventually he'll try to destroy Konoha, right?" the Hyuuga's hate was becoming more evident as his face turned bitter, if I convince myself he's too far gone, I might be pleasantly surprised when he comes back… Wait, when? Who the fuck am I kidding…
"He would NEVER do that!!!" the blonde yelled indignantly, still trying to believe his own statement. "I mean… He doesn't really have a reason to attack the village, so it's not like he would randomly just decide to bother." I'm not so sure we could survive an attack like that if it's what he truly wanted… But he wouldn't want to kill us; I know he still cares about us deep deep deep down… Okay not too reassuring there…
"…" the Hyuuga turned away. "Kakashi, I think we should go back now. Let's see what information the Anbu have gathered…" If any… Naruto is right that most of them don't care too much about finding him simply because they're afraid they just might happen to actually do it and have to live… "And depending on the Hokage's word, we'll go from there."
"Good plan, Neji. Now let's head out…" the copy nin did a quick scan of the area. No unfamiliar chakra signatures… Well that's a plus… "But be especially careful until we get back into Fire country; technically, we are trespassing." He didn't have to enunciate the fact that any ninja that found them roaming their territory would not hesitate to kill. Kakashi gave Naruto a hard look, and after hesitating briefly, he followed. Good… Don't worry; we all want him back. There's no way we can fail next time… Even if we have to bring the whole fucking village, Sasuke, we will save you from yourself.

Pein watched intently as the boy shifted, finally coming back to consciousness. His eyes fluttered open slowly; it was evident that he was expecting Itachi.
"Ah… Finally awake…" the raven snapped his gaze to the redhead, eyes widening in shock. "I was hoping you would come to in time... After all, it's no fun to fuck a coma patient. But then, that jutsu did take a lot out of you… Excellent work, by the way." Pein smiled as Sasuke struggled to understand the situation.
"Why are you… Where's Itachi?" Damn… I didn't quite have enough strength to do the stupid teleportation thing… And hold on; why did he say fuck?
How sweet… He still doesn't quite understand his fate… "Itachi won't be back for some time." The young Uchiha knitted his brow in confusion, "But don't worry; I'll be keeping you company for a while …" Pein loomed closer, moving so he was above Sasuke. "We'll have lots of fun." The Akatsuki leader grinned as understanding flooded the raven's gaze, making him struggle to move away. Aww… Too bad those pretty steel handcuffs are practically impossible to break…
"You fucking bastard!" Of course; my chakra has hardly had time to replenish, and only simple bonds are needed… So that means it can't be more than two or three hours since-
Pein chuckled and reached forward to stroke the boy's cheek, "I'm guessing that you now know that there's no way you can escape. Don't beat yourself up too bad about it, though; it's only been two hours since you got back to the lair." And now the fun is only just beginning, my darling little Uchiha… God he's beautiful; I finally understand why Itachi was always so obsessed.
The Uchiha snickered. "Well at least you admit that you're cheating."
The redhead gave a genuine smile; god he's just so entertaining! "Oh Sasuke-kun… This is going to be positively fantastic!" In so many more ways than one… Let's see how much Itachi wants him after he learns about this…
Pein moved to straddle Sasuke's waist, making the boy all too aware of the position as he "accidentally" ground their arousals together. "Hey get the fuck off you pedophile!" As soon as the words left his mouth, Sasuke realized how incredibly hypocritical that statement was.
"Ha… Sasuke, you've got to be kidding me… First of all, you've never minded that kind of perversion before. I mean really, six years with Orochimaru?"
"Shut up! It was only five…"
"I would hardly doubt that you weren't his little pet before you even went to the Sound village." The raven's breath hitched and he looked away, unintentionally confirming Pein's statement. So I was right… I wonder if Itachi knows that exciting little detail… Well I'll surely let that slip out soon. "In any case, you are hardly a child. Seventeen now, is it?"
How the hell does he know so much about me? "… Just get away… " the Uchiha turned away, he knew Pein was right.
"I don't think so Sasuke…" he wound his fingers into the ebony locks and yanked backward, making the raven release a startled gasp. Pein took the opportunity to shove his tongue into the warm mouth, exploring hungrily. He could tell that the boy was trying his best not to respond, but he would change that soon enough…
"Nngh…" the Uchiha moaned into the kiss as Pein ground against him, taking him by surprise. No! I can't let him manipulate me like this… What will Itachi think?
The Akatsuki leader pulled back to gaze at him ravenously. "So perfect…" Sasuke was now gasping for breath and trying desperately to think of a plan; he needed to escape before his body betrayed him completely. His internal struggle is enchanting… He really does care about Itachi, but the body often betrays the heart… With that in mind, he bit down hard on the tender flesh at the base of the boy's neck, sending waves of ecstasy through the Uchiha.
"No…" he whispered, even as he began unconsciously begging for more with whimpering gasps.
"What the fuck is going on here?!" Itachi stood looking positively livid in the doorway. And to think I almost decided to take the scenic route back here…
"Aniki, I…" the raven sighed in relief; surely Itachi could see what was happening…
… Well at least he seems to be happy to see me… But what about the moaning I heard from down the hall? "Get off now, Pein." His glare intensified as the leader showed no intention of moving. I think I'll be having a long talk with my dear little otouto later...
"Actually, Itachi, I'm quite comfortable…" the redhead smirked and leaned in to smell Sasuke's hair. "And up until you arrived he was begging for me to take him like the whore he is…" Pein began sucking on Sasuke's neck again, forcing him to bite back a moan. I wonder what will happen when I do this…
Sasuke's outcry of pleasure was unmistakable as Pein bit down hard on the curse seal. Shit… That has got to be the worst timing ever… He was gasping now as his veins quivered with the sensation. "Stop it you fucking prick!" Goddamn snake; I swear he did that in anticipation of situations just like this… "Itachi I didn't want-"
"I think what you want is pretty damn clear Sasuke..." He caught Pein's smirk of triumph as he blinked slowly. "However, I'm not going to consider letting this continue for a second longer; you are coming with me now otouto."
In an instant Itachi was next to the bed using condensed chakra to snap the handcuffs as he shoved Pein to the other side of the bed. The Uchiha brothers were gone before the Akatsuki leader could even process what had just happened.

Hello! Ha ha… Sorry to those of you who wanted the lovely fucking to occur, but I couldn't do that to Itachi… There's just so much he's going to have to endure before he gets what he wants anyway… hee hee hee ;D (besides, I couldn't have the second-ish lemon be with another sick freak; I'm sure many of you thought Orochi was bad enough, lol). Look out for later, though; PeinSasu may not be out of the picture just yet ;D
Anyway, your reviews were awesome (and all the alerts/favorites are super encouraging)! Thanks again to everyone who provided such wonderful input XD… Remember, your opinions inspire me to no end and have a great influence on my future work.
It's been great to get so much input, and, wow, chapter 11!!! To be honest, I wasn't ever sure I would get this far, but I guess finally posting is just the first step =) (and how bitchy would it be if I abandoned it all now?)
I know it's way lame that there hasn't been an entirely appealing lemon yet, but good things come to those who wait… Okay, really, I know it's my fault, but I kind of feel like this story has just taken a hold of me; it literally has the plot all lined up and I'm just trying to keep up. Besides, I think that focusing on the emotion of it all and emphasizing people's feelings is much more interesting… The emotional torture is almost crueler than the physical.
Also, I may have had this up yesterday, you see, but I was just so busy going to Olive Garden to pretend it was my birthday for the sixth time in the past month… Hee hee hee… That's the only way you can get the whole celebration cake for pretty cheap, and I'm kind of trying to memorize their special birthday song just for chuckles.
But thanks for letting me waste your time!
Much Love,
Violet
