Sasuke's P.O.V.

"What you got for me?"

"Beans, sour cream, tortillas, cheese, salsa. Ya'll can make yourself some nice burritos." Zaku said emptying his pockets.

"I'm sorry, I didn't realize we were vegetarians here in H-block."

"I thought you might say that you greedy son of a bitch." Sakon said with a laugh and a smile, dropping a pound of cooked ground beef on the table.

"Holy shit." Suigetsu laughed, "Does Gato know you stole this?"

"Fuck no man, we created a distraction to get in the kitchen, why do you think Kidomaru's in medical right now, mother fucker probably broke his jaw." The hebi laughed and started assembling the burritos. Sakon and Zaku started to leave.

"Hold up, we have business to discuss, please, eat with us." I said bringing them back to the table. We're having a family discussion and I'm the patriarch. They nodded and began folding burritos with the rest of my crew.

"So what's the plan to oust Gato?"

"It's not going to be easy."

"Yeah well the Sand is in, that should help numbers." Garra said confidently. He's beyond leadership material, he just needed a little push.

"I need a list of lifers, with their blocks and jobs, the musicians too." I said motioning to Sakon.

"Done."

"Done." I took a bite of burrito and Omoi smiled.

"What?"

"You've been here for a little over a month and you've already taken over H-block, even got all of Gato's men out of here."

"I told you he was the one Omoi." Suigetsu laughed. Haku just scoffed, eating his burrito in silence. I looked up and saw Darui, right on time. He was escorting Haku's new roommate to his cell.

"No way!" He said like a little kid on Christmas. Garra and Zaku had to restrain him.

"Act too excited and they'll end it real quick." Zaku sneered. We all watched him unlock the cuffs, show him around and leave. Seconds later Haku ran to his husband, leaping into his arms, kissing him furiously.

"How the hell did you pull that one off Uchiha?"

"I have my ways." I said with a wink, getting up and shaking Zabuza's hand. "Welcome back."

"It's good to be back, I don't know how you did it but I'll kill for you any day." He said, sitting down with Haku, both clinging to each other.

"Me too." Haku said confidently.

"So the grand Uchiha works miracles. Didn't see that coming."

"Spread the word." Sui said wiggling his eyebrows.

"Will do, thanks for this." Sakon said lifting his burrito, getting up and walking away with Zaku.

"So… word in the tombs is your taking over, staking claim, pissing off the hierarchy." Zabuza commented, making a burrito for himself.

"That's the word."

"How?"

"Numbers. Garra's working on the Sand, the Musicians are recruiting, you're the key to the blood mist."

"I'm the demon of the mist, their allegiance is not a problem. How big are we going?"

"We're not starting a war, not yet, and so far we've had little resistance, but we need to be ready, expand our turf, have safe zones for the hebi."

"What do you have right now?"

"H-block." Omoi said frankly.

"No showers? No turf on the yard? Weight room?"

"Zabuza, we can't even go in to the cafeteria without getting shanked." Garra said.

"That's gonna change, I'm in Sasuke, whatever you need, really."

"Enjoy your husband, I'll let you know." I said taking my final bite and walking up to my room. Officer C was waiting for me at my cell.

"Uchiha?"

"Yes sir."

"I have to take you for your evaluation now, let's go." He said turning me around and cuffing me. Man, when Darui says he'll come through, he really comes through. Officer C escorted me through many hallways and through the psych ward. He sat me in a small office and uncuffed me. A few minutes later a man came in.

"Hello, I'm Dr. Iruka, here to do your evaluation. Tell me what's been going on Sasuke."

"I'm just…sad. I feel like I don't have a reason to live any more. All I want to do is sleep all day, cry… I feel like I'm in a funk." He nodded and scribbled on his notepad.

"Well, prison can be stressful."

"I haven't been felt this bad since I had postpartum depression. I'm worried I might be slipping back into that." I said sadly, looking down at the desk.

"You have a history of depression?"

"Yes."

"How was that treated?"

"With medication, it worked for a long time."

"I see… I see. Any therapy?" Oh please therapy is for pussies.

"No sir."

"Interesting… interesting. Well looking through your file, you seem to have a lot of trauma in your life, even before incarceration. What have you done for those things?"

"I've dealt with it." Come on just give me the prescription already, you're just an obstacle to get to the pharmacist. Hurry it up.

"I think therapy might do you some good. You need to talk about things, get it off your chest." Oh god no.

"You know the antidepressants worked really well for me."

"And that's reassuring, we'll get you a prescription. But meds aren't going to make you better, not alone. I think we should have weekly sessions, treat the underlying issues." No, no way.

"You know I'm alright, just forget about it." I said getting up to leave. So not worth it, I'll get to the pharmacist some other way.

"You need treatment Sasuke, that much is clear. This is not optional; we'll have our first session next week. Here's a prescription, go get it filled and we'll see you on Wednesday." Oh fuck, what the hell did I just do? Officer C escorted me back to my cell and H block was locked down for the night. Damn it, shit and fuck! What a fucking backfire!

"What happened?" Sui asked.

"The glass is half full, got the script, but now I have to fuckin go to therapy."

"Hey, you got the script, that's what's important. And who knows, maybe therapy could help."

"Oh fuck off Sui." He laughed with me.

"That's what you get for trying to get a prescription because of 'depression'."

"Well we already know not a damn thing was going to be done for my Uchiha illness, and it's pretty hard to fake a medical condition that needs a regular and a lengthy prescription, this was the best option, I'll just bull shit the therapy, maybe even turn the good doctor. It will be fine."

"Hope so."

"Where's my report?"

"Well I was about to give it to you, if you weren't so damn impatient." He said sitting on my bed with me, getting comfortable.

"Well?"

"Yugao's in, but only Mary Jane. No hard stuff, but we can grow under the floor boards of the green house, she'll get us one of those fancy hydroponic lights."

"Her cut?"

"60/40, I talked her down with my charm."

"I told you 50/50."

"And she wanted 70/30."

"I also wanted cocoa leaves and opium. The real stuff."

"Which we'll get. She's getting us the equipment. We'll get the seeds another way."

"Fine."

"So after we control the drug trade, what do we do then? And why are we even trying something as stupid as this?"

"If the Akatsuki taught me anything, it's get a superior product, and you can charge whatever, I don't care how good Gato's lines are, ours will be pure."

"Get them hooked, then we control the trade, weaken his operation, and flip the weak."

"Exactly."

"Sasuke this all has big risks."

"Let me worry about that."

"What about Naruto or Mikoshina, you get caught behind any of this, you'll never see them again."

"When I first got here my friends were getting beaten and raped on a daily basis. It's unacceptable, since I've been here how many times have you had a dick you didn't want?"

"Like 90% less."

"And it's going to keep getting lower. I'm doing this for you, for the hebi."

"Your daughter?"

"I'm not getting caught. She'll see me again." I said pulling up the storage desk and beginning to write a note to her. Clan stories, how our crest came to be. Things like that. Eventually Sui and I both fell asleep, only to be awoken by the loud clanging of the guards walking by in the morning for count. I heard a lot of noise, the sound of toilets flushing and realized they were doing bunk checks this morning. Everyone was flushing their shit.

"Please tell me you got rid of everything." I said getting out of bed and straightening my things to the perfect military cleanliness they expected.

"I don't stash stuff in here anymore, I'd rather hide it out there and take my chances then in here and get sent to the tombs."

"Agreed." I said tucking in my covers then walking outside with Sui and standing at attention. Asuma and Darui were checking our row. Great.

"Morning inmates." Asuma barked, coming into our cell.

"Morning Officer Sarutobi. Morning Officer Darui." We both said in unison with the stupid military precision. Darui grabbed my crotch roughly while Asuma's back was to us, then he walked into the cell as well. They tore up our living space, throwing things on the floor, pulling apart our pillows, checking every nook and cranny they could find.

"Tell me Darui, how does a broke inmate have so much commissary stashed in his room?" Asuma asked.

"I'm not sure sir."

"I'll tell you how, prostitution and gambling, both prohibited in my prison. Write Uchiha a shot." You're fucking kidding me? I glared at him as he walked out of my room.

"Is there a problem Uchiha?" Oh my god I wanted to punch him in the face so bad.

"No sir."

"Thought so." He scoffed moving to the next cell. Darui came out after him and whispered into my ear.

"Meet me in the janitors closet in B block before you're scheduled to see the pharmacist. I'll make this shot go away." He said confidently then going to the next cell. Ugh, fine. After they left we had to straighten up the mess they made then went down to the showers. Sui and I got in line and one of Gato's men cut in front of me. Oh I am so not in the mood for this today.

"The fuck do you think you're doing?" I said turning him around by his shoulder. He turned and stabbed me in the palm of my hand with a shiv hidden in a lufa. Shit.

"I have a message from Gato. Stop doing what you're doing, or else you're gonna pay for it with your life. We gave you H-block because we wanted to, don't push your luck." I ripped the shank out of my hand and stepped into his personal space.

"You tell Gato I'm not scared of him." It was a bold statement, but I got the message across. He nodded and got into the shower. And I'm not scared of him. Yagura was scary, Gato, he's too much of a coward to even show his face, this is nothing. I took my shower, ate my breakfast then slipped away to the janitor's closet in B-hall. Darui came in a few minutes later and locked the door.

"Word on the town is you declared war. Gato has more power than your ready for Sasuke." He said unzipping his pants.

"You don't know what I have in the works."

"You're right I don't, but it would be nice to get a heads up."

"When the time comes, I'll let you know." I said getting on my knees. He throat fucked me. It was rough and hard. It my eyes watered like a fountain, he absolutely tore up my throat. Now as a pro, I'm used to the rough treatment, but what I'm not used to is not getting paid for what I'm doing. All these agreements and deals being made that I'm not even sure I can trust. Is this worth it? I'm not sure anymore. He fucked my throat raw, my tonsils felt like they were on fire. It is so hard to give sexual favors almost sober.

After our closet rondevu, I went to see the pharmacist Chojiro. He was a small and nervous young looking guy. Glasses, sort of a nerd, definitely gay. I instantly realized that I cannot come on strong to him. I'm way too attractive and he's smart enough to see right through it. Shit. This is not going to be easy. I need to come up with something, something different. I can't just flaunt around and expect him to just want me. I can get him to want me, that much I'm sure of, but I have to do it right, that's the only way I can flip him. He's essential to my drug operation. Without saying anything to him, I took the medicine he gave me under the metal cage partition. I couldn't even activate my sharingan because it would be a dead give away I was trying to read him. So I did what I could.

"Thank you." He looked shocked, no one was grateful to him for giving them their meds.

"You're welcome." He said calmly and that was it, I walked away. I need to be less aggressive with him, form a relationship of sorts with him. This new persona may take some time. More time than I may have.
