Somebody Save me
Chapter 21
"Sas'ke," Naruto pleaded weakly, straining his ears to hear any kind of sound from the boy that had tried to protect him. "Sas'ke, please." Naruto was half delirious with fever and ended up only pleading Sasuke's name.
"Would you like to experience what he went through?" Orochimaru asked, noticing Naruto's weak struggles and his search for Sasuke. "I'm too tired to double team you but I can still use the baton on you." He grinned wickedly as he bent down and picked up the baton that Kabuto had discarded. Naruto shivered wishing his hands were free and that he was anyplace but where he was now. He had heard Sasuke's muffled cries of pain and it had tore Naruto apart knowing that Sasuke was willing to go through that hell just to keep him safe. Sasuke should have known however that Orochimaru had never planned to stop messing with Naruto, whether Sasuke done what he had done or not.
"Give me Sas'ke." Naruto protested weakly, he only wanted to be with the one that had been brave enough to try and save him even if it meant that he would suffer.
"No, I think I'll give you the same treatment that he got though." Orochimaru hissed as he ran the baton down Naruto's back and in between his thighs before bringing it up to Naruto's entrance. Naruto whimpered softly at the feel of blood covered baton hitting the raw, open sores on his back. Tears filled his eyes as he felt the baton in a place that it shouldn't have been felt, just as Orochimaru was beginning to push the wooden stick past the tight ring of muscle, the cell door was slammed open, and two dark haired men entered followed by six other men, each with a high powered weapon.
"Get away from the boy!" The captain ordered, taking notice of the motionless Sasuke several feet away. "Get him free!" The man ordered before crossing the room to kneel beside Sasuke. "He's alive, get an ambulance here ASAP." the man ordered though as he knelt beside the unconscious boy he wondered how he was alive. He'd clearly been put through hell before they'd gotten here. Reaching down, he touched the back of Sasuke's head, he didn't like the wet, squishy feel, shining his flashlight down, he winced feeling sick to his stomach. Sasuke had been beaten so badly that it was clear that his skull had been fractured.
"Orochimaru, you are going to pay for this!" The Captain said turning his attention to the man that his men were arresting.
"Madara, why am I not surprised to see you here." Orochimaru hissed. "I guess Fugaku called you in."
"Of course he did, he knew they wouldn't likely be able to find these two in time to out a stop to you. For what you done to my nephew I should put a bullet between your eyes, but I think that would be letting you off too easily." Madara glared, and as he approached Orochimaru, he got a glimpse of Naruto's back. It didn't look like a piece of his skin had been spared, it was drenched in blood.
"You sick son of a bitch!" Madara's eyes narrowed on the man.
"Obito, free the blonde boy. The rest of you go round up the rest of the guys around here. They can't be innocent considering what had gone down in here."
"Your nephew is as good as dead." Orochimaru snarled. "And even if he doesn't die, he'll be severely brain damaged and will never be the same person he was before this."
"Which is why I should beat the hell out of you now." Madara snarled. He didn't get to see his family much because he was so busy with his special ops team. That didn't mean that he didn't care about them.
"I heard about what you done to Itachi too." Madara said. "There is a special place reserved for you in hell."
"Not if I pay the judge off." Orochimaru said, laughing at Madara's fury. "How do you think Naruto ended up in this situation. He wasn't originally going to charge Naruto with the murders of his parents. Even though the evidence was there, he didn't believe Naruto capable of murdering two adults. I paid the judge off. It seems even they have a price, money and his families safety is what was important to him." Orochimaru stated.
"How the hell did you end up like this?" Madara wondered, "inflicting pain on those that don't deserve it. You've ruined the lives of innocent children." He turned when he heard Naruto's small voice protesting Obito's touch.
"Don't touch me!" Naruto pleaded, not liking the feel of anyone's hands on him. Not to mention that any slight touch sent waves of agony shooting through him.
"I'm trying to help you." Obito murmured as he stepped around Naruto's weakly flailing legs.
"Don't touch me." Naruto repeated, "I don't want to be touched."
Obito reached out and touched Naruto's forehead wincing at the heat that he felt. He figured the fever was a part of the reasons why Naruto didn't want to be touched, he was completely delirious.
"Sas'ke." Naruto cried out. "I want Sas'ke." Naruto's broken hearted cries hurt those that heard them. It made them want to be able to bring Sasuke to Naruto, but at the moment that wouldn't have been the wisest choice for Sasuke. If he was to survive, he didn't need to be moved.
"I'm going to get you to Sasuke." Obito said gently, hoping the sick boy would be able to understand him. "But to that, I'm going to have to touch your arms to get your hands free. Is that okay?"
"Sas'ke." was Naruto weak reply and Obito took that as permission enough to get the boy down. It broke Obito's heart that something like this could be done to a young, innocent, not to mention disabled kid.
"I'm sorry, kid." Obito murmured as was finally able to release the wrists, both were raw and bloody. Obito caught Naruto's weight as he slumped towards the floor. Naruto cried out softly in pain as Obito's arms hit his raw back.
"Sas'ke." Naruto demanded feverishly and Obito gently carried Naruto over to where Sasuke lay unmoving on the floor. Sitting Naruto down, Obito watched as Naruto ran his hands over Sasuke's head and face, before he lay down beside Sasuke, Naruto's face next to Sasuke's.
"Sas'ke, I'm here." Naruto whimpered, agony shooting through his body as he tried to shift to a comfortable position. Obito watched with tears in his eyes as Naruto pulled himself closer to Sasuke, and despite the fact that he was getting blood all over him, he still still tucked Sasuke's head under his chin and held the boy tightly to him. Obito knelt down beside the two, placing two fingers on Sasuke's neck, so that he could monitor Sasuke's pulse.
"Don't leave me." Naruto pleaded weakly, though he was growing tired from his own blood loss. He wasn't sure if he was going to be able to pull through this situation or not. "Stay with me Sas'ke." Obito couldn't stop the tear that rolled down his cheek, seeing his younger cousin like like this hurt like hell, but to see the one that Sasuke loved so much pleaded for him to not die hurt even more. Obito wished more than ever that Fugaku had called him and Madara in much earlier than he did and maybe this wouldn't have been like this. Suddenly, the weak pulse that Obito had been feeling in Sasuke's neck came to a fluttering stop. Leaving Obito feeling even more shattered.
"Madara!" Obito called, feeling like he was going to be sick at any moment. Naruto just continued holding Sasuke tightly to him, almost as if he was trying to hold Sasuke's spirit inside his body. Suddenly the sound of feet filled the room, light filled the place.
"Who the hell are you?" An angry voice asked, glaring at Madara who was still holding Orochimaru at gunpoint.
"I'm Gaara. Who are you?" Gaara asked, looking over and seeing Naruto with his body curled around Sasuke's.
"I'm Madara Uchiha and He's Obito." Madara said. "Fugaku called my seal team in. I guess it takes a bunch of people to catch a snake."
"Where's Sasuke!" Fugaku's voice filled the doorway as he glimpsed the area where both Naruto and Sasuke had been kept. Seeing Obito kneeling beside Naruto, Fugaku walked over, his heart breaking in his chest at the sight of Naruto sobbing softly into Sasuke's blood matted hair.
"I'm sorry," Obito said softly. "he's gone." Fugaku dropped to his knees beside his youngest son.
"Sasuke." he said softly tears filling his eyes, barely noticing that his son was nude and covered in blood.
"He tried to protect Naruto from getting hurt more. Or that's what Kisame told me anyways." Obito said, his heart hurting as he watched both Fugaku and Naruto sob over the now lifeless boy.
"You brave, stupid boy." Fugaku whispered, his heart shattered. His family would never be the same again He wondered if Sasuke had even gotten the opportunity to tell Naruto how he felt.
"We should probably get Naruto out of here." Obito said. "He's already severely sick. His back needs treatment." Obito reached out and placed a hand on Naruto's shoulder causing the boy to flinch.
"Don't touch me. Leave me with Sas'ke." Naruto protested weakly. "I wanna be with Sas'ke."
"Sasuke isn't here anymore." Obito said gently, knowing that Naruto probably wouldn't understand what Obito was telling him.
"Then let me go be with him." Naruto answered weakly. "I can't be where there's no Sasuke." Fugaku closed his eyes, he hurt badly at hearing the longing in Naruto's voice. He wished things hadn't ended this way, but he was proud of Sasuke for trying to protect Naruto.
"I'm so sorry, son." Fugaku whispered his hand rubbing at the back of Sasuke's head, feeling the stickiness of blood. "I'm sorry that I couldn't save you."
"He's not gone." Naruto told Fugaku. "he can't be gone, he promised he would get me out of here."
"He did." Fugaku whispered. "he managed to get a text out to Gaara before this happened. They are here because of him."
"He wouldn't just leave me." Naruto whimpered, as he tried to shake Obito's hands off of him. "I need him, I can't make it without him."
Sitting up, Fugaku winced at the condition his younger son's body was in. There was a large pool of blood between Sasuke's thighs and it didn't take a genius to know where it was coming from, along with several red, scratches running down Sasuke's back, leaving no doubt what Sasuke had been through. Rage filled him, as he stood. He wanted to take Sasuke someplace safe but that would require Fugaku to remove him from Naruto's grip. He didn't feel like he could do that, it would be like denying Naruto any time with him. Fugaku couldn't find it in his heart to do that to Naruto. He could however go deal with the piece of shit that had allowed this to happen to begin with.
"I'm sorry, Sasuke." Fugaku whispered again wishing desperately that he could go back and change things. He was however, going to deal with the one that had started this whole mess to begin with.
"Give me your gun." Fugaku told Obito, who handed the gun to him without a word. Fugaku was angry and he wasn't about to mess with the man, not after he'd discovered that his son had been raped and murdered. Obito couldn't blame his Uncle for what was about to go down, he would however stand by him in court if need be to make sure that Fugaku didn't get into trouble. He was after all only ridding the streets of the crime and filth that appeared to be littering it.
"Why hell did you feel the need to fucking murder my son?" Fugaku demanded shoving past Gaara and Madara. "What the hell did either Naruto or Sasuke ever do to you to deserve this kind of hell?"
"I think you already know the answer." Orochimaru answered. "I like Naruto's body, and by the way Sasuke can take two dicks real well." he sneered at the angry look in Fugaku's eyes.
"You sick son of a bitch, why would you do that to a child?" Fugaku demanded raising the gun and placing the barrel right between Orochimaru's eyes.
"Because I wanted to, and I knew how it would make you feel to know that your son's body was used in such a way." Orochimaru replied.
"You stupid son of a bitch." Fugaku breathed and closed his eyes before pulling the trigger. He didn't care that he had just committed murder himself, he doubted that anyone here would actually arrest him for it, not after seeing the shape that Sasuke's and Naruto's bodies were in.
"I guess that's one way of getting justice." Madara commented.
"It's nothing less than what he deserve." Fugaku said. "I told Mikoto that I would bring Sasuke home safely, thanks to him I can't do that. I hate breaking promises to my wife." He looked over at where his son lay on the floor, Naruto still tightly clinging to him and refusing to let him go.
"Naruto, son." Fugaku said softly approaching the young teen. "You're going to have to let him go, we need to get you to a hospital."
"Don't want to go with Sas'ke." Naruto whimpered although at this point he was barely even conscious, whether from the fever or the blood loss Fugaku wasn't sure. Kneeling down, Fugaku gently pried Naruto off of Sasuke though since Naruto was barely aware that wasn't hard to do.
"Madara get Sasuke." Fugaku said gently, as he stood with Naruto, hating that he was only causing Naruto more pain as his arms brushed his shredded back. "This kid will never be the same because of Orochimaru."
"You can bet Orochimaru is burning in hell for all the suffering he's caused." Obito said, watching as Madara gently picked up Sasuke's limp form.
"He died protecting what he loved." Obito said. "I just wish that it hadn't been like this. Sasuke deserved for his love to be returned."
"I believe it was." Madara said as they started towards the door. "Naruto didn't exactly want to let Sasuke go."
"It was heartbreaking to watch him like that." Obito said, his thoughts returning to Naruto's desperate pleas for Sasuke not to leave him.
"This is going to kill Mikoto." Madara said. "She loves her kids more than anything, now she's going to have to bury one."
"No doubt." Obito said, as he followed Madara up the basement stairs and out of the house. He was relieved to see the ambulance workers already had Naruto face down on a stretcher and was trying to clean his back as gently as possible.
"he's going to have some serious scarring." Madara commented as he looked down at his nephew. Sasuke's face was covered in blood from where he had been lying in it.
"He deserved a little more dignity than what he got." Obito said watching as Madara looked down at Sasuke. "He didn't deserve to be used like he had been."
"He was trying to protect Naruto, you can't fault him for that." Madara said.
"He could have made a better decision that wouldn't have led to this." Obito answered. "Had he tried to call The FBI earlier or whatever and let them handle it."
"Naruto probably didn't have much time considering what Orochimaru was putting him through." Madara said. "Sasuke done the best he could, he didn't want to have watch Naruto suffer anymore than he already had."
"And now he leaves Naruto to suffer." Obito said. "I don't think that's very fair."
"No, maybe not. But it happened and now we can only help them get through it." Madara said as he walked over to Fugaku who was standing beside Naruto's gurney. Madara handed Sasuke to Fugaku knowing the father would want to see Sasuke one last time. Tears welled in Fugaku's eyes, as he looked upon Sasuke's blood caked face.
"I'm so damn sorry" Fugaku whispered. "You were brave in doing what you done to try and protect Naruto but so damn stupid for not letting the authorities handle it." Sobs choked Fugaku as he thought about what he would tell his wife. Sasuke was gone, he had been brutally raped and murdered. He didn't think she would need to hear that but she would want to know how the hell things had gone so wrong.
"I love you, son and I couldn't be more proud of your choice to protect the one you care about. I just wish that it didn't have to end like this." Fugaku leaned down and pressed his lips to Sasuke's blood stained forehead, not caring that the blood would transfer to him.
"Minato, Kushina take care of my boy." Fugaku whispered. "do a better job than I've done for yours." He closed his eyes briefly and imagined Minato and Kushina being there to greet Sasuke as the last ounce of life had left his body. "We'll meet again someday, son."
Fugaku turned and handed Sasuke's body to the medical examiner who placed it on a gurney and covered it with a sheet before loading it into the back of a white van. Fugaku dropped to his knees, unable to stop the sobs from tearing through him. He had no idea how he was going to explain any of this. The worst part of it was, that if Fugaku hadn't been so quick to accuse Naruto of murdering his parents, none of this would have ever happened and Sasuke would still be alive and Naruto wouldn't be disabled. How was Fugaku supposed to live with himself now? He's shitty decisions had led to the death of his son. He would be lucky if Mikoto didn't divorce him. Since he had allowed both of his sons to be hurt. He would have to find a way to make it right, he didn't know, but he would have to somehow make things better.
