Somebody Save Me
Chapter 28
"Come on Kura, you're going to have to let him go." Itachi said standing over his best friend's shoulder. "They will be coming to take him away soon."
"I'm not ready." Kurama murmured. "I'll never be ready to let him go."
"You done the best thing that you could for him." Itachi said. "he would have spent the rest of his life miserable and longing to be with Sasuke and his family again. If he even lived that long, he probably would have found another way to die if someone didn't help him."
"None of this should have ever happened." Kurama said. "I should have never blamed him for what happened to our parents."
"Especially since he really had nothing to do with that, and was in fact being used to keep my little brother quite." Itachi muttered. "Come on let's go home, we can talk about the pranks both Sasuke and Naruto used to pull."
"I want to stay with Naruto." Kurama replied. "I don't want him to be alone."
"He's not there anymore." Itachi said gently. "Naruto's with Sasuke again, he's not here. The doctors are going to need to take him away so they can clean him up. We'll have to plan both Sasuke's and Naruto's funerals."
"That's not right." Kurama said, releasing his hold on Naruto's body. "Neither of them should have died so young. It's not fair."
"You're right, and the people responsible for causing this are now burning in hell." Itachi said.
"Konoha doesn't care about sexually exploiting kids." Kurama muttered. "how do you think Orochimaru has gotten by with it."
"That's changing starting now." Fugaku replied. "All the corrupt officials will soon be on their way out. A new and better government will take it's place."
"I hope you're right." Kurama said, as he glanced down at his little brother's body. Someone had taken him off the respirator and you could see a small, peaceful smile on Naruto's face. Wherever he was now, it was clear that he was happy. "I love you little brother. One day soon we'll meet again."
"And that day won't be anytime soon." Itachi added. "There's been enough death in this family recently."
"Let's just go." Kurama said, "if we stay here any longer I'll hunt down another vial of whatever I gave Naruto to stop his heart."
"I won't let you do that." Itachi said. "Naruto wouldn't want you to end your life so soon."
"His shouldn't have ended so soon, neither should have Sasuke's." Kurama said, tears filling his eyes again as he turned and walked away from his little brother's lifeless form.
"I agree, but now they are together again in a place where no one can hurt them anymore." Itachi said.
"Take him home." Fugaku told Obito and Itachi. "I'll meet you there in a few minutes."
"Okay, dad." Itachi murmured as both Obito and Itachi walked beside the quietly grieving Kurama.
"Why did any of this have to happen?" Kurama asked as they exited the hospital. "Why did Orochimaru have to crave something that he shouldn't?"
"I don't know but this whole situation goes far beyond him now." Itachi said thinking of his mother's involvement. Had she done anything to the Uzumaki's? He really hoped not, he couldn't stand thinking about his mother mother hurting either Kura or Naruto. Just hearing what she had done to Sasuke was enough to make him sick to his stomach.
"I have a question for you." Itachi started. "I'm not sure whether now is the right time to ask it or not."
"What?" Kurama asked as they crossed the road, and headed for the street that Itachi lived on.
"Did my mother ever do anything to you or Naruto?" Itachi asked almost fearing the answer.
"What do you mean by that?" Kurama asked.
"Did she ever do anything sexual to you? We just found out that she had been raping Sasuke for years. He wouldn't say anything because he was too afraid of Naruto being hurt." Itachi said. Kurama frowned, just the thought of Sasuke being put through that made him want to get sick.
"If she did I can't remember." Kurama answered, as they walked up the drive to Itachi's house. "Of course there really isn't a whole lot that I remember from when I was that little."
"It seems to me that that's the age she likes. Because it's easier to confuse and scare them." Itachi said.
"Itachi where is your father?" Madara asked standing up and walking into the living room when he heard his nephews voice.
"He's still at the hospital, he said he would be back in a few minutes." Itachi replied. "Where is she?" he didn't think he could stomach to even call that woman mother anymore.
"She has been dealt with." Madara replied. "She won't ever hurt another child again."
"Good." Itachi said, as he led Kurama and Obito into his bedroom and shut the door.
Madara watched Itachi go into his bedroom with Kurama, from the way that Kurama looked, Naruto must have passed on. It hurt his heart to think that the youngest parts of the family were leaving this life. Madara sighed, he just wished that he could have found out about all of this earlier to prevent the young ones deaths. He sighed and went and sat down on the couch, he had no idea how he was going to start this conversation with his brother. How did you tell your own family that it wasn't just the one son that had been sexually abused by their mother but both of them? And who knows who else she had gotten her hands on that she had never even brought up. Sexual predators usually didn't stop at just one or two kids there were usually a whole list of them. Madara would find them, no matter how long it took. He also wondered if the youngest Uchiha was still alive. If he done the math correctly he would be about 11 years old now. Did he really have AIDS?
Twenty minutes later a weary Fugaku entered the house, and spotting Madara he made his way over to his brother.
"She's been dealt with." Madara informed him. "She won't ever be found."
"Good." Fugaku muttered as he sat down on the couch beside Madara and sighed. "I can't remember the last time I've been this exhausted."
"I take it that Naruto didn't make it?" Madara asked and Fugaku shook his head.
"Kurama gave him a drug that stopped his heart. Naruto's suffered through to much to continue to ask him to live like that." Fugaku replied.
"Well, he's in a better place then." Madara said. "he's with Sasuke and his parents again. I'm afraid though that I have some more bad news for you."
"What?" Fugaku asked, dreading the moment that Madara would answer the question.
"Sasuke wasn't the only one she abused. It looks like she had her fun with Itachi too." Madara added. "She filmed it, and sold the film."
"What the hell?" Fugaku said, rage filling him at the thought that both of his boys had suffered at her hands.
"She also let the family dog have a go at Itachi. There's more tapes but I was too disgusted by what I had already watched." Madara said. "Sasuke and Itachi probably weren't her only victims, I'm sure that there will be more on the tapes."
"I think I'm going to be sick." Fugaku groaned. How had he not known that his wife had been this disgusting pedophile? Just then a knock sounded on the door, frowning Fugaku stood up and opened the door. His lieutenant Danzo was standing on the doorstep.
"I heard about your son." Danzo said. "I just wanted to offer my condolences."
"Thank you. It was unexpected." Fugaku said. "He didn't deserve to go the way he did. But I believe he's in a better place now."
"If there is anything I can do for you just let me know. I will be glad to do what I can." Danzo said and Madara scowled. He seemed to remember seeing a written agreement between Mikoto and Danzo for the sale of her youngest son.
"Thank you, I will." Fugaku said, nodding as Danzo turned and headed back to his car.
"I wouldn't trust him as far as you could throw him." Madara said.
"Why?" Fugaku asked. "He's probably the one police officer that hasn't done anything wrong since this whole mess has begun."
"No, but I believe that he's done more wrong since before it began." Madara replied leading Fugaku into the bedroom where he showed him the written agreement for the sale of Shisui Uchiha.
"She told me he died of SIDS." Fugaku stated, silently recalling the conversation where he had supposedly lost his youngest child.
"Didn't you think it strange that there wasn't any funeral?" Madara asked.
"She said she didn't want a funeral, that it would too hard for her to face the loss of her child. She told me she went on and had him cremated." Fugaku said.
"Then where are the ashes?" Madara asked, knowing that he was only hurting his brother with this information.
"Supposedly she spread them on some playground that he liked." Fugaku replied, sitting down heavily on the bed. She had lied to him their entire marriage, why was he so surprised that she had lied about the death of their child?
"So if he lived what did she do with him?" Fugaku wondered.
"She sold him to a man to be used as a sex slave." Madara replied. "He was a year old and sold to a man that was known to have AIDS. That man would be Danzo." Madara replied.
"Is he still alive?" Fugaku wondered.
"I don't know." Madara answered. "If anything she said about him was true, he very likely has AIDS. She told me that Danzo has been raping him since he was a year old. I don't know that that's true because if the man had been too rough the kid would have died. No one ever reported the death of a one year old boy. So I suspect that Danzo kept him until he was older and then started using the boy for his sexual slave."
"What about this deal with Itachi, what has she been doing to him?" Fugaku asked.
"Allowing your dog to fuck him and then using dildos on his ass." Madara replied. "I stopped after that one tape, so I don't know what else she has done."
"As much as it disgusts me, I need to know what she done." Fugaku said. "So that maybe in some small way I can start to make up for it. God if I had only known that she was hurting my boys, I would have taken them somewhere far far away."
"I would have murdered her much sooner, had I known." Madara replied, as he headed for the safe and pulled out a tape. "I just wonder if she done anything to Naruto or Kurama. She was alone with those two just as much as she was with Sasuke and Itachi."
"If I find out that she touched them. I think I'm going to lose my shit." Fugaku replied, watching as Madara put in another tape. Immediately a small blond head came into frame, bent over a small black haired boy whose arms and legs were tied to the bed.
"Please stop. I'm hurting him." The blonde boy cried but Mikoto only pushed Naruto further into the young Sasuke, before she turned her attention to someone else in the room.
"I think the boys are ready." her voice said, and Fugaku swore he could hear the sound of pure evil.
"Good." A snake like voice hissed. "I'm going to enjoy this! Spread his cheeks for me." Mikoto quickly done as asked, placing a hand on either of Naruto's butt cheeks and pulled apart.
"You're going to have fun with this." Orochimaru came into the frame and lay across Naruto's back, which only further pressed him into the crying black haired boy. Fugaku winced at the scream Naruto gave when Orochimaru slammed into him, not bothering to be careful with him. Orochimaru groaned, enjoying the feel of the heat that surrounded him. He ignored the boy's screams that it hurt and would pull out and slam himself back inside the small cavern.
"Turn it off." Fugaku told Madara. "I've seen enough." he felt sick to his stomach, and then he remembered the emails that Orochimaru had sent to Minato, the emails about wanting to use Naruto's body. That must have been shortly after he had already raped Naruto, and Sasuke both. How the hell could this have become so deeply buried that he wasn't even aware of it.
"If I could bring that bastard back, I would." Fugaku said. "I ended it too quickly for him. If I had known that he'd actually raped a five year old Naruto and Sasuke. I would have tortured him until he begged for death. I want to know who the hell has seen those videos. I want anyone who has bought them tossed in jail."
Fugaku closed his eyes, his heart aching more than ever since Sasuke's death. He had done wrong by Naruto any way you looked at it. He had abused him, when he found Naruto at the scene of his murdered parents, and then he had allowed him to be abused at the mental institution, which left him mutilated and blind. Now come to find out, his own wife had allowed him to be touched in a way that no one should be. Fugaku wasn't sure that his heart could hold anymore hate for the woman that he had married. If he had only known that she was a pedophile, he would have made sure that her ass was in jail.
"Uh oh." Fugaku heard Madara muttered and looked up to find Madara digging through more papers that were found in the safe.
"What does that mean?" Fugaku asked dreading the answer.
"It looks like Mikoto was pregnant." Madara replied, scowling down at the ultrasound scan in his hand.
"How the hell is that possible?" Fugaku asked. "I haven't touched her since right before Minato's and Kushina's deaths. Four months ago."
"Well if I'm reading this right, it looks like she was about four months pregnant and it looked like you were going to have another boy." Madara answered. If he had known she was pregnant when he'd killed her, he probably would have held off until the child was born and then he would have tossed her to the alligators. Madara supposed though that the child was better off, Mikoto wouldn't be able to use him in any way that wasn't acceptable. His heart hurt for Fugaku though if that had truly been his child. He would be left to grieve for another lost family member.
"When is it going to be done?" Fugaku wondered. "When will all of her secrets be spilled? Why didn't she tell me she was pregnant?" Fugaku hurt for the child that he had never even knew about, and would never get to know.
"I don't know." Madara answered. "Probably never, because shit keeps coming out of the cracks. If I had known she was pregnant though I would have held off. I would have given the child to you."
"He's probably better off." Fugaku said bitterly. "She likely would have sold him into a life of hell too."
"I'm sorry all of this is happening now." Madara said sitting down beside Fugaku on the bed. "I wish that this had all come out earlier to prevent innocent lives from being destroyed."
"I can't deal with this anymore." Fugaku said hoarsely, "I have to go plan the funerals for Sasuke and Naruto, I can't even begin to comprehend her level of evil right now."
"Let me know what I can do." Madara said. "I'll be here as long as you need me."
"That might be a while." Fugaku admitted. "I'm feeling so lost and I wonder how the hell I'm going to be found so I can help my child recover from the hell that he doesn't even remember going through." Fugaku couldn't imagine what Itachi would think when he discovered that Sasuke wasn't the only one that suffered at their mother's hands. He was also pretty sure that Itachi would likely be more pissed at Naruto's abuse at Mikoto's hands then his own.
"How the hell did those kids turn out normal?" Fugaku wondered. "They should be more messed up than anyone."
"Probably, but I'm sure you will figure out a way to help him heal, or perhaps Gaara can help. I sense that perhaps there could be a relationship forming there." Madara said,
"I can't imagine Itachi wanting anyone to know what he went through. I always thought I was a good father, but now it's becoming pretty apparent that I'm not even a half way decent one. I can't even protect my children from the worst evil there is."
"You didn't know about Mikoto." Madara replied "And you were trying to provide for your family. You've done the best that you could. Now that you know though, you can try and help Itachi remember, and heal from what he went through."
"That's going to take a long time." Fugaku murmured. "I just wish that it could have happened for Sasuke.
"No doubt." Madara said. "But Itachi is strong, I think he won't have as much issue with it as you imagine."
"I wish I could get drunk right about now." Fugaku said pushing himself to his feet. "I wish I could forget that my wife was so evil."
"Unfortunately, you have other things to deal with that require you to be sober." Madara replied. "You work on that, and I will see what I can find out about Shisui." Fugaku nodded and headed into the kitchen. He was still finding it hard to get his head wrapped around all the information that had been tossed at him tonight. He really hoped that after this his family could get some much deserved peace. He was tired of more dirty secrets coming out of the wood work. He was so done with learning of all the crimes Mikoto had committed against children, her own and her own best friends. He really hoped that Kurama had at least been spared from her atrocities.
Fugaku hoped that his other child could be found and that he was still alive. He would gladly bring him here and help him, if he could be helped that was. He'd been exposed to more abuse than any of him, and he might be beyond anyone's help.
"These funeral's aren't going to plan themselves." Fugaku muttered, wishing that he didn't have to do it. He sighed, he wished Mikoto hadn't scared Sasuke into total silence. Maybe then all abuse could have been stopped. Shaking his head, he tried to clear his thoughts, he needed to focus on getting things ready. He was sure more drama would unfold after the funeral's until then Fugaku refused to listen to anymore. He was going to make sure that both Sasuke and Naruto went to their final resting places the way they deserved, with dignity and respect.
I thought this was a good place to stop, next chapter will deal with visitation and the funerals. I think there will only be one more chapter after this, but I can promise that there will be a sequel. Thanks for reading and reviewing! Liz
