Chapter 24: Lights

As the party continued a figure watched from the shadows, sake in hand as Kabuto stood next to him angrily. "Stupid fools…" He spoke starring at Aki and Toshi hatefully. "Calm down Kabuto. Soon enough they'll all lose everything. I'll take Fumiko as my prize while this village burns to the ground and with it Sasuke the kindle. For now let them enjoy this brief moment. Breaking someone who is happy is much more satisfying. But…why not give the ant a reminder of his place." Orochimaru moved his hand outwards as he closed it slowly and Fumiko let out an ear shattering scream crippling to the floor as he held his hip he writhed on the floor as the curse mark flared over his skin like an ink staining parchment. Kabuto smirked as he watched Orochimaru force Fumiko to writhe and scream the guests all concerned as Sasuke pulled Fumiko close. Then something contrary to plan happened, a pale silver chakra erupted over Fumiko's body forcing the seal back in place in return Orochimaru hissed as his hand burned like fire. Retreating Orochimaru kept his eyes on Fumiko the whole time. "Kabuto…" It was the only word he had to speak before the loyal dog was gone to investigate the miraculous happening.

"Do it again," Sakura spoke softly as Fumiko relaxed as Naruto tried to flow chakra into his body only to be shot half way across the room. "What do you think it could be?" Sasuke asked her still concerned. "Well Fumiko has been training with you as a Sannin apprentice…I thought maybe you could tell me." Her voice was still full of curiosity as she folded her arms. Before she could run another test on her reluctant husband the door opened as Toshi and Saya entered an unlikely duo. "Will Fumiko be all right Lady Sakura?" Saya asked timidly as she approached her fellow Sannin apprentice. With the exception of Fumiko the whole class had been tested and trialed until two spots remained, which left Toshi training under Naruto and Saya training under Sakura. Everyone was assured Miaka would be an apprentice since the lineage seemed right but instead she had refused stating she was not fit to be a healer. Saya Lee on the other hand was a gifted medical ninja her love and passion were both surprising and highly coveted. "He'll be fine Saya. We're still trying to figure out this apparently new feature to Fumiko's kekegenkai." Sakura was still puzzled before once again Saya's brilliance was a blessing. "What if the new medicine you've been giving Fumiko has altered his kekegenkai…he's seen a lot of different jutsu with his sharinggan. Maybe it copied one and the medicine adapted his chakra to compensate?" Fumiko paused before he grabbed Sasuke by the front of his robes flipping out. "Fumiko if you don't stop and speak coherently I might have to slap you." Sasuke grabbed Fumiko's wrists to calm him down. "I COPIED HIS JUTSU! I DIDN'T MEAN TO!" Fumiko was yelling and finally Saya stepped in, the meek and quiet girl back handed Fumiko as Sasuke tried not to laugh. "Thank you Saya," Sakura smiled as Saya nodded. "Now Fumiko…who's jutsu did you copy?" Fumiko looked at the ground nervously," When we were in Sound…I saw Orochimaru studying some new jutsu in his dojo. H-he called it his immortality shield. I might have…accidentally watched it with my…sharinggan activated….when he did it his chakra it moved on its own breaking an unwanted connection of another's chakra before infecting the other's chakra…like a virus. He used it on one of the other kids and he coughed up a bunch of blood before he died on the floor." Sasuke sat on the bed next to Fumiko as the room stayed silent for a few minutes. "I don't see why you're so nervous so you learned a really awesome technique…on accident. That happens to be really terrible for other people." Toshi was leaning against a wall as he spoke. "That's not it Toshi…even I understand that only Orochimaru can activate the curse seal…so if Fumiko's chakra reacted…he'll know Fumiko knows the technique. And let's face it we all know from experience that Orochimaru is not a fan of having his jutsu used against him," Naruto's response was chaste and yet all most ridiculous. "Naruto the bigger point is Orochimaru is closer than we think…he's watching Fumiko like a hawk…but why?" Sakura spoke as she sighed concerned. "What is about to be said cannot leave this room." Sasuke spoke as he closed the door locking it and shut the curtains.

There was a resounding sigh of relief as water was passed around the small dojo Sakura, Sasuke, and Naruto taking a seat as their apprentices fell onto the floor trying to work up the energy to move. For months they had been training trying to find a solution or strategy that would work and hopefully allow Fumiko to escape. "Once more then?" Saya asked as they all finished their brief break and started to stand back up Toshi and Fumiko looking at her like she was crazy. Sakura smiled as she nodded getting up and Fumiko climbed onto Naruto's back as he flicked his big brother in the ear. "You drop me again…and I'll end you," Fumiko panted out as Naruto glared and they began the drill once more. It was a drill of keep away and hopefully a strategy to keep Fumiko out of Orochimaru's hands. The village could stand and fight if Orochimaru wanted another war, he could have it because this was no longer about one individual this was about terror. Ending the fear and control, above all it was about fighting for freedom showing the other nations that Konohagakure would not be threatened any longer. Naruto took off out the door of the dojo and into the forest as Sasuke of course played the part of Orochimaru. When Sasuke got close to Naruto, Naruto threw Fumiko to Toshi who took hold of his best friend's hand and hid inside a tree. "This is really cramped couldn't have picked a roomier tree?" Fumiko spoke as his body was pressed flush to Toshi's. "Stop squirming this is awkward enough dumbass," He spoke covering Fumiko's mouth with his hand as quickly as possible. The two ducked when Sasuke cut the tree in half and Fumiko jumped out running with Saya as Toshi tried to hold Sasuke off. The chase continued for an hour as Sakura stopped in the middle of a clearing Fumiko falling down coughing and exhausted. His medicine had come with side effects, one being a decrease in his stamina, the second being bouts of fatigue spells. Running to Fumiko she tried to pull him up but Sasuke already had her fifty feet away pinned to a tree with a kunai. "This isn't working…" Sasuke spoke as he picked Fumiko up bridal style as his partner gripped his shirt tiredly. "Well what do you suggest we do teme?" Naruto asked as the group headed into Uchiha manor. "Naruto you take Fumiko and you go as far away as possible…don't tell anyone where you're going. You keep moving until we take Orochimaru out," Sasuke spoke as Fumiko smacked his chest. "I know you don't like the plan but it's all we've got Fumiko…we can't keep you away from Orochimaru on our own…" Before Sasuke could finish Iruka and Kakashi had entered in their old uniforms. It was strange to see Kakashi out of hokage uniform. "You have us to. I apologize for our tardiness but someone got caught up trying to find his mask." Iruka spoke as the group smiled and Fumiko ran over hugging his parents tightly.

"Interesting…I like to see that my investments aren't in vain…he has more promise than I thought…" Orochimaru spoke in his room outside Konoha far enough to go un-detected. "They are planning a counter strategy like fools…" Kabuto spoke as he finished his report and Orochimaru smiled, "Then we should move to our plan I suppose." Kabuto nodded as he went to the wooden chest on the desk opening it as he extracted three vials of an odd milky color. "I all most feel sorry for them…" Orochimaru spoke as he looked out of his window his hands behind his back. "But then I think about how selfish and decrepit they are and I suddenly find myself wanting. Those fools think I want Fumiko just to bear me an heir…a good thought but I have other intentions for his body. He'll become my greatest weapon and I'll take every nation like a storm." Kabuto nodded as he left the room using his disguise jutsu to shift form as he headed to the hospital in the village.

The deadline was so close with only a few weeks left it was all most unbearable. "Hello Nurse Tai," He smiled as he met the familiar nurse who nodded, "I'm so glad to see you doing well Mr. Uchiha. Lady Sakura will surely be pleased. Now, I need to give you your injection today. Could you please lie down on your side knees to your chest." The nurse spoke behind the gentle smile was Kabuto's inward smile of deception. Fumiko nodded as he laid on his side he wasn't fond of these shots they made him feel numb and he'd pass out feeling confused and when he woke up he would feel like he was in a daze. As soon as the needle delivered the milky fluid into Fumiko's spine he went into a trance like state going limp. Sitting down Kabuto kept two fingers on Fumiko's forehead. "Ahri are you there?" Fumiko's eyes changed from brown to a crystal blue color all most electric looking. "Big brother? How long was I asleep?" Fumiko's body sat up as the young man seemed to take on a different persona this 'Ahri'. "You were quite exhausted last time. Are you ready to continue?" Kabuto's appearance had morphed back into his normal one. "Of course I want to be able to go home. I miss Orochimaru terribly he must be so lonely…" Kabuto smiled as he nodded and hugged Ahri close. "I know how much you love him, but he only wants you to get better. It's important we fix all these broken links in your memories. After a few more weeks of treatment you'll be ready to go home."

Sasuke caught Fumiko as he walked up to the door he was so dizzy he threw up on the porch nearly falling down. It was one week until Fumiko was to leave but he was nowhere near fit to travel. Hime and the Twins helped Sasuke by getting cool water and fetching Lady Sakura. "No! I'm asking Sakura about these damn injections. You keep getting weaker…and sleeping more…" Sasuke laid Fumiko down on their bed as he put the cool cloth on his forehead. Sakura rushed in as Yuki had come with her carrying her bag. After looking Fumiko over she saw the injection marks, "What the hell…" Sasuke looked puzzled now, "You were the one who told that nurse to give him those weird injections. Sakura looked alarmed as she let Fumiko roll back over. "Sasuke Fumiko's medicine isn't injected into his spine…it's dangerous it mess with the brain." Fumiko groaned as he shifted in pain. "Fumiko, who has been giving you these injections? Do you remember?" Sakura asked trying to keep Fumiko awake as he passed in and out of consciousness. "N-Nurse Tai…" He responded so slowly that Sakura pushed him back onto his side taking a vial out of her bag and collecting some of the milky fluid that seeped out of the injection. Bringing it to her nose she sniffed it before quickly corking it and handing it to Yuki. "Take this to the hospital lab Yuki be quick." Yuki nodded as she took off and Sakura tried to bring Fumiko's fever down. Suddenly Fumiko started to mumble in his sleep something odd as Sasuke and Sakura listened. "N-Nii-san…go…wanna…go home…" Sasuke tried to shake Fumiko awake when Sasuke heard a cruel laughing noise. From the shadows Sasuke and Sakura saw Orochimaru emerge surrounded by his personal guards who currently had hold of Hime, Yuki, and the Hyuuga twins. "Let them go," Sasuke spoke as he looked Orochimaru in the eyes. "Oh don't worry I will…why don't you all enjoy the last remnants of your perfect world," Orochimaru smiled as he started to approach Fumiko and Sasuke got in his way. It happened so fast but before anyone could recover Sasuke was on the floor a deep gash in his thigh where his sword had him secured to the floor. Sitting upon the bed Sakura launched herself at him and was quickly ended by having her arm secured to the wall with her own scalpel. Slowly Orochimaru drew a syringe of the milky fluid. Opening Fumiko's mouth he emptied the fluid and forced him to swallow."Ahri…Ahri wake up," Orochimaru spoke as Fumiko shifted on the bed before opening his eyes. They had turned to the electric blue as he slowly sat up seeming to be fine. It looked like Fumiko but the mannerisms were vastly different. This 'Ahri' moved all most lazily and like some whore as he slid across the bed towards Orochimaru smiling. It sickened everyone in the room as this 'Ahri' clung to Orochimaru happily smiling like it was natural. "Like I promised you Ahri I'd protect you from that monster see." Orochimaru pointed to Sasuke who went pale as Fumiko looked terrified and clung to Orochimaru shaking. "Fumiko what are you doing don't cling to him he's fooling you!" Sasuke yelled as Fumiko refused to listen and hid in Orochimaru's chest. "Shh. He won't hurt you anymore. I won't let him touch you ever again." Orochimaru rose as he held Ahri bridal style. As if to rub it in Sasuke's face he kissed Ahri who returned the kiss tenderly. Ahri seemed to be relaxed and closed his eyes tiredly. There was a shattering noise in Sasuke's head as he felt his heart break with every step Orochimaru took out of the manor.

"Sasuke you have to sleep." Sakura's voice was stern as she tried to get Sasuke to lay down on one of the couches in the Hokage office. "I'll sleep when I rip Orochimaru apart bit by bit...this time I'll burn the pieces," Sasuke smacked her hand away going to the window, his eyes were framed by dark circles and he was paler than usual. Before their eyes Sasuke was dying. He'd turned cold and harsh, even short tempered, the last time he had been this way was when he first returned to the village trying to assimilate once again. "He's done something to Fumiko…changed him. You saw how he looked at me! Like I was Orochimaru…" Naruto put a hand on Sasuke's shoulder, "Killing yourself isn't going to do anything. We need to find out how Orochimaru was one step ahead of us." His friend's words were a bit soothing to the pain in his chest. There was a knock on the door as Kakashi opened it a little shocked to see Aki, Miaka, and Neji all in one place. Miaka kicked Neji in the ass as Toshi kicked him into a nearby chair. "TELL THEM!" Toshi yelled at Neji as he growled angrily. Miaka slapped her father a look of hatred in her eyes. "You will tell Sasuke-sensei what you did! And you will beg for your life because if it wasn't for mother I would kill you myself!" The three Sannin and their teacher turned to Neji and his daughter. Kakashi looked confused as Toshi saw Neji look to the ground. "He told Orochimaru about our plan! He's been helping him this whole damn time! He even snuck Kabuto into the village to give Fumiko this weird drug." Toshi spoke as he was ready to rip Neji's head off before he could have a chance Sasuke had Neji pinned to the wall by his throat. "Why?" It was Sasuke's only question he had no reason to believe Toshi to lie to him. "You are disgusting and so is he. You two together is an abomination and a danger to the whole village. Unchecked, uncontrolled, and unconceivable power…and you two want to consider having a child? I'd rather see the boy die in the hands of someone else than let you think for one moment any of us have forgotten about your past. Righteous punishment Sasuke…how does it feel?" Neji coughed out before Sasuke squeezed tighter and Naruto and Sakura pulled Sasuke away long enough for the ANBU to arrive and arrest Neji. "Secure him in the prison…I'll be there shortly." Kakashi spoke looking at Neji darkly.

In Sound things seemed to be going well as Orochimaru had Ahri by his side every day. However, Ahri seemed to be getting headaches more often. Kabuto had to admit seeing Orochimaru play the concerned lover was too hilarious to stand. "Just rest Ahri, your brother will take care of you for now." Ahri shook his head grabbing hold of the male's arm. "Don't go please…" Orochimaru shook his head as he kissed Ahri's forehead. "I have things to take care of I'll be back soon I promise." As he closed the door behind him Kabuto raised an eyebrow. "Fix him," was all Orochimaru spoke as he hissed. Kabuto nodded before entering the room and smiling sweetly, too bad Orochimaru didn't know about the other memories he had planted into Fumiko's head. "Nii-san how much longer do I have to pretend like I love him…he's gross and disgusting," Ahri spoke as he sat up just fine tucking a piece of hair behind his ear. "Until I can make sure we have a clear get away. Has he touched you yet?" Kabuto asked as he touched Fumiko's cheek who kissed his palm. "No I keep getting these 'headaches' right before." Ahri chuckled as he got up on his knees and kissed Kabuto deeply. Pulling Ahri close he chuckled inwardly as he gripped his ass pressing against him. "This would be quite sick if we were actually brothers." Ahri spoke as he played with the buttons on Kabuto's shirt. "As far as Lord Orochimaru knows you and I are simply brothers." He pushed Ahri back softly as he kissed along his neck his lips tracing a line down to Ahri's navel. "N-ghn stop teasing me Kabuto...I need you," Kabuto just smirked as he slid Ahri's pants off, pulling him until he was bent over the exam table. All he could think about was if Sasuke could see this how delicious that would be.

"I-I don't feel well my lord…" Ahri spoke as he lay in bed next to Orochimaru who was kissing his neck and jaw. "Don't worry Ahri…I'll make you feel better," He kept his pace as he let one hand hold Ahri by the back of the neck the other exploring his prey's thighs. "I am not naïve Ahri…I know what you and Kabuto do…he's been thoroughly punished for touching you…just to think if I hadn't returned that day I would have lost the chance to experience this…" For emphasis Orochimaru slid two fingers into Ahri making him pant and squirm in discomfort. "You belong to me Ahri…do not forget that." Ahri tried to shove Orochimaru off him as he felt the bed shift in the darkness, but his hands were pinned above his head. "Do not make this difficult," Orochimaru threatened as Ahri went lax turning his head away he knew if he didn't submit that Kabuto would be harmed worse and he could not risk it. He felt his knees press into his chest before he bit into the pillow beneath his head gripping the cotton tightly. Every moan and thrust made him sick with pain. Every bite, claw mark, and bruise leaving a claim to who he had to submit for the rest of his life. He would escape this horrible place no matter what it took. The thrusts seemed to grow rougher and deeper and eventually he couldn't help but cry out. "STOP! It hurts!" Ahri yelled as he gripped onto the cotton sheets tighter the pain only stopped after Orochimaru had finished in which he stood up leaving Ahri curled up in the middle of his bed. Slowly, Ahri got up limping to the bathroom as he turned on the hot water in the shower climbing into it as he sat on the floor. The whole night he didn't sleep he just sat in the corner of his room watching the door until Kabuto came in his face badly bruised. The two sad nothing just stared at each other after Kabuto looked to the bed sheets where white cotton was now crimson red.

Kabuto held his hands up high as he was surrounded Kunai to his neck. "I surrender please…I need to talk to Sasuke." The outlaw ninja was brought to the Hokage office where everyone stopped what they were doing. Sasuke looked over to see something he hadn't seen in Kabuto's face before, regret. He walked over taking his glasses off as he waited for Kabuto to speak, "I wouldn't be here…if I didn't think it was necessary. But even Orochimaru has changed…to a point where I can no longer support his plans. He's lost his mind...and forgotten the purpose." Sitting down Kabuto explained to Sakura the drug he had come by thanks to Amae. They had filed it away considering it too dangerous to try. But, Orochimaru grew desperate and he had to obey. "He was so bent on erasing you from Fumiko…he went too far. I could barely stop the bleeding this time…even I have limits to cruelty. There's a way to reverse the effects it will be harsh, but it can negate the effects of the drugs. He'll suffer…greatly. The purpose of the drug's treatments, were to muddle memories that already existed. With your Mangekyo I believe you can sort the memories into their proper places." He looked to Sasuke who nodded standing as he turned away before whipping around and punching the male in the face hard.

"Where's Kabuto Ahri?" Orochimaru spoke as he gripped the male's neck tightly who coughed and begged for air. "I-I don't know he's g-gone….I went to see h-him and h-he wasn't th-there." Orochimaru threw Ahri into the floor who busted his nose holding it as he trembled. Pulling Ahri back up he pulled the male's hand away seeing the broken flesh he grabbed the male's nose fixing it as Ahri screamed and threw up blood onto the front of his robes. "Disgusting…" He punched Ahri hard in the stomach before slamming his head into the wall. That was a definite thing on the list of things not to do. The hard hit to Ahri's head triggered a recalibration in his brain. Once electric blue eyes faded to brown as Orochimaru grabbed Fumiko by the hair and he kicked Orochimaru in the face sending him backwards. "I don't know how I got here…but you better believe I'm not staying." Fumiko wiped the blood from his forehead as Orochimaru came after him and he moved slamming the older's man's head into and threw the door. "Even under psychosis you can't be programed to do my bidding," Orochimaru laughed as he stood and grabbed Fumiko by the hair again slamming his head into the mirror nearby. Fumiko felt dizzy and it was hard to see as he felt a hand on his body and he tried to push and kick it away. Tearing Fumiko's pants down he observed the scars and bruising…even the stitches. "It's a shame I was going to wait until you healed a bit longer. The last time you nearly died…" He licked up the blood on the side of Fumiko's face as he chuckled before wasting no time in thrusting into him gripping Fumiko's long hair tightly. "This time…I'll fill you and you'll fulfill your debt to me." Fumiko grabbed the shard of glass in his reach as he gripped it before cutting his hair in a jagged line freeing himself from the male's grip as he kicked Orochimaru away enough to slide across the bed shaking and panting in pain. His hair fell just past his ribs in jagged lengths as half spilled over one of his eyes and he tried to get up. Orochimaru growled as he stalked over to Fumiko as he was about to rip him up, he was stopped. Blood dripped from his inner thigh as he let Fumiko go who grabbed a bigger shard of glass and stabbed it into Orochimaru's neck just as he gave Fumiko a final reminder of his grief, a large cut across his stomach. Red eyes were all Orochimaru saw in Fumiko's as the broken male rose shaking in pain and adrenaline And charged a Chidori sending it straight into his heart. Going to a nearby lamp he broke the bottom off pouring the oil onto Orochiamru's face before dropping the candle setting him on fire. Limping out of the room Fumiko held onto the walls for support. Managing to climb out of the tunnel to the light he collapsed positive he was going to die. "Sasuke…I'm so s-sorry…I-I…" The darkness over took his eyes as his breathing slowed. It felt like an hour before he felt someone moving him. Someone was shaking him violently breathing into him. There was a kiss to his forehead, cheeks, and lips, then tears running down his face that weren't his own, someone was begging him to open his eyes. He tried so hard only to get a sliver of his lids to open before closing them again.

Night after night Sasuke didn't move from Fumiko's side his hand tightly grasped to the cold one of his lover's. After having to use the mangekyo on Fumiko to sort through false memories he encountered the disturbing ones of what happened in his absence. Every sexual encounter with Orochimaru, every painful thrust and bite, it was enough to make him vomit. Fumiko was in and out of surgery so much Sakura had told him he should consider the worst outcome. Fumiko's condition would waiver in and out Sakura told him it was Fumiko trying to fight off the drug and recover, and yet she reminded him that he might not. When Fumiko did finally open his eyes Sasuke looked to see one golden color one brown. Sitting up with assistance Fumiko hugged Sasuke tightly kissing his face without stop as Sasuke returned the favor. Once the two settled down Sasuke handed Fumiko a mirror. Fumiko saw that his hair had been trimmed to even length as long as it once was when he was a kid just past his sternum. "Even trying to escape I still get a reminder of him." He observed the golden eye softly he remembered the few moments before passing out as he stared into Orochimaru's eyes as the male died. Shaking his head he ran a hand through his hair. "I love you regardless of how you look Fumiko…You mean everything to me," Sasuke kissed Fumiko lovingly as the door opened and the two were swarmed by tears, love, and hugs. In his ind Sasuke knew he could never let Fumiko remember 'Ahri'.

"Mother really I should be resting back at the manor…I do live there you know," Fumiko spoke as Iruka helped him to lay on the couch as he held his stomach. "No, I already told Sasuke you're staying with us for a while. We all most lost you, and you are my son…I know he's your partner but I deserve some time with you to." Iruka pulled Fumiko into his arms holding his son tightly as he nearly bordered on crying once again. He had been there when they saw Fumiko on the ground black smoke filling the air form an entrance into the underground. There was blood everywhere and his son had a hole in his stomach blood covering his mouth and staining his hair. He wasn't breathing, he wasn't moving and Iruka thought he was lost to the depths of death. He shoved everyone out of the way as he picked Fumiko up shaking him, kissing his face and breathing into him furiously pushing on his chest. "Fumiko breathe! I need you to breathe son!" He screamed as he kept trying to revive Fumiko until his son began to cough and breathe slowly. Kakashi had been hit hard watching Iruka and his son as needles ran through his body. Naruto had lost it taking out half the forest leaving Sasuke and Sakura to calm him down. Iruka pulled Fumiko into a tight embrace. In those short minutes he had seen Fumiko's life pass through his eyes remembering every step and first time experiencing life. Iruka had told Sasuke when Fumiko was ready to come home, that he was coming home. He didn't care what Sasuke had to say he slapped the male and told him to go to hell, regretting his choice of words now he would never take them back. He told Sasuke it was his fault, that if Fumiko had never met him he would be safe, that he would have been happier. It was not his place to say something and he saw the grief in Sasuke's eyes. "Mother…it hurts to sit like this please let go," Fumiko hugged his mother who shook his head and refused. The two sat on the couch for hours until Kakashi came home to find Iruka holding their sleeping son tightly refusing to let go.

Chapter 24 ladies and gents. Very sad I know but the next chapter is one that is by far my favorite. I don't want to spoil it here but I'll leave you with a title as always…oh and also reviews help to feed my writing monster so please leave them! Chapter 25: In My Arms.
