Let's get it on people!


Sasuke opened his eyes and found himself strapped down to a hospital bed, he closed his eyes in attempt to get rid of the headache he had but opened them again to see his brother standing over him, his eyes narrowed and he opened his mouth and attempted to scream and curse at him but he was horrified when now sound came out of his throat.

He stared up at Itachi with horrified eyes and his brother placed a gentle hand on his cheek.

"Shh...your vocal cords were cut by Madara, you can't speak right now until they're fixed. Ino is trying what she can to heal them. But until then you can't talk." Itachi said calmly.

Sasuke activated his Sharingan and tried to jerk his leg free of the restraint and kick Itachi but it was yanked back down to the bed due to the thick leather maintaining its hold on it.

Sakura and Kakashi then walked in, Itachi glanced at them and nodded as he placed both hands on Sasuke's temples. He was about to start transferring his chakra to Sasuke when Sakura interrupted him.

"Itachi...it's going to hurt both of you. Transferring advanced and upgraded chakra such as healing chakra can be very painful when it leaves or enters the body. So...hold onto to him he's more than likely going to struggle." She said quietly.

Sasuke looked at her confused as nervousness started to fill in. What was going to hurt? What were they going to do to him? His mind asked in panic.

Itachi performed a series of hand seals befor putting his hands back on Sasuke's head.

"Mind Healing Chakra Jutsu." He muttered and closed his eyes to focus.

Sasuke let out an uncomfortable grunt when he felt a tingle inside his head as Itachi's finger tips started to glow a bright blue, then the tingle turned into a blinding pain and he opened his mouth and screamed or what would have been a scream had he been able to.

He was surprised however when he heard Itachi grunting and growling softly, he looked up at him and saw there were tears threatening to fall from his brother's eyes as his chakra was being drained.

The grunts coming from Itachi soon became small cries of pain until he let out an agonized scream and slumped down on top of Sasuke before falling to the ground unconscious. Kakashi hurried over to Itachi and shook him while Sasuke remained on the bed silently panting.

"He's okay Kakashi-sensei. He's just tired. It takes a lot out of someone to perform such a powerful healing jutsu." Sakura said.

Sasuke suddenly looked around frantically and his eyes widened in confusion as he found himself strapped down to a bed in the Konoha hospital. Sasuke at first when he found he couldn't speak became panicked and when he saw Itachi lying unconscious beside the bed he opened his mouth and screamed though of course nothing escaped him.

He started to struggle against the bonds while Kakashi and Sakura watched him for a few minutes.

It wasn't until Sasuke got a look of hurt and betrayal in his eyes when he looked at Kakashi that one of the two finely decided to stop him, and of course as usual it was Kakashi who made the move instead of Sakura.

He stood up beside the bed and ran his fingers through Sasuke's hair to try and soothe him but Sasuke looked away from him his eyes filled with hurt and tears.

"Hey...calm down. Everything's fine. I know your confused but you've got to trust that we're doing what's best for you. Now...I'm going to untie you, but you have to promise to cooperate...I know you don't like hospitals but you need to be looked at. If you don't and you strike at anybody I'm going to put your right back on there." Kakashi said with a warning.

Sasuke swallowed nervously but he gave a slow nod and Kakashi gave him a firm look before placing his fingers down on the strap that went across Sasuke's stomach, then the one across his chest followed by his ankles and his wrists.

Sakura handed a pen and a notepad at Sasuke who stared at it with a dumbfounded look on his face.

"To write with, so we can communicate better. If you have anything to say write it down." Sakura explained.

Sasuke reached out with a shaking hand and took the black ink pen and the notepad from her. He sat on the edge of the bed and swung his legs over the side and leaned forward as he started to write with a shaking hand making his hand writing slightly messy with squiggles instead of strait lines.

Kakashi noticed tears pricking at the boy's eyes and he rested a reassuring hand on Sasuke's shoulder.

He was obviously frightened that was for sure because he was shaking like a leaf on a windy day. Sasuke wrote a few sentences before handing the notepad to Kakashi who took it with a sorrowful look as he looked into those begging tear filled eyes.

He turned his attention to the note and started to read.

'I don't want to be here. You're gonna hurt me for what I did. I'm scared I want to go home.' Kakashi read in silence and paused for a while not taking his eyes off of the paper.

Finely he spoke in a calm understanding voice. "I know your scared Sasuke, but you have done nothing wrong therefore we have no reason to hurt you."

Sasuke shook his head and reached for the notepad again which Kakashi handed back to him. He wrote some more before handing it back to Kakashi.

'Naruto hates me...h-he raped me...I must have let him down, I let everyone down.'

Kakashi's mouth fell open he was shocked, he couldn't believe that Sasuke thought that.

"No Sasuke, Naruto doesn't hate you. In fact he feels horrible for what he has done to you. He was being controlled by Madara, there's was nothing there that was your fault." Kakashi said as he pulled the boy into a hug. Sasuke reached for the notepad once again and Kakashi handed it to him and received it a few seconds later.

'I want to go home.'

He looked at the boy with sad eyes as he saw the tears starting to leak from his eyes. "I'm sorry but I can't allow that at the moment. We need you better for fighting condition you can't skip out on this war Sasuke...we need you even Naruto isn't enough." Kakashi said softly.

Sasuke hung his head as tears started to come in rivers from his eyes.

Sakura finished getting Itachi on the bed on the other side of the room and she walked over to Sasuke and tried to grab his arm to draw blood from him but he yanked his arm away as fear filled his eyes once again.

"Sasuke." Kakashi said firmly.

Sasuke looked at Kakashi and trembled he wanted to leave so badly but they wouldn't let him.

Sasuke looked down at his lap at his upturned hands before going back into his thoughts as he allowed Sakura to do what was needed of him.

Sakura saw he looked rather troubled and she shook him gently to get his attention. He looked at her before she finely spoke.

"Sauske? What's wrong?" She asked softly.

Sasuke grabbed the notepad again and started to write some more and he handed it to her.

'Orochimaru made me stay. He did the same things to me. He used me against you, he manipulated my hate for Itachi and turned it against me. He did tests and all sorts of experiments on me. I wanted to go home but he said I wouldn't be welcomed he said I'd be killed for leaving.'

Sakura let go of Saske's arm and showed what Sasuke had written to the new Hokage.

Kakashi inside was rather stunned by the information, he had always thought that Sasuke had chosen to stay. But if Orochimaru really manipulated him into convincing he wouldn't be welcomed back that he would be killed right away just for betraying the village that snake truly was a sick bastard.

"Sasuke..." Sakura spoke in a small voice. "...no one wanted you dead, sure lots of the villagers did. But...we all knew that this was Orochimaru's fault for warping your mind with curse mark. It wasn't entirely your fault. They wouldn't kill you...me, Kakashi-sensei, everyone else on our teams, and especially Naruto...we would have all done everything we could to save you from that fate. We wouldn't allow it, because it wouldn't be fair." Sakura said as she rested a hand on Sasuke's cheek then removed her hand and replaced it as she leaned forward and gently gave him a quick kiss on the cheek before pulling away and taking Sasuke's hands in hers.

"Sasuke we all love you. You're our friend. We wouldn't ever wish anything bad to come upon you. You're like family to me, Naruto, and Kakashi-sensei, you've hardly known what its like to have family either since you've lost it at a young age. That's what makes you special, but you have to let people in, make friends...isolation isn't good. Understand?" She spoke softly as she wiped away the tears from his face.

Sasuke surprisingly smiled and wrapped his arms around her tightly as he embraced her in a hug.

Sakura was surprised at first she hadn't known Sasuke to be so social with her or anyone else except Kakashi, but she smiled in return and wrapped her arms around him as well.

Kakashi smiled at this and pulled out his book as he sat in one of the chairs and started to read while thinking to himself. 'Good, at least he's making some social progress anyways.'


Hope you like this chapter but I need your help on something, I need to decide whether to make this a SasuxIno fic or a SasuxSaku fic. Remember though Sakura is currently with Sai, so what I was planning is if I get rid of Sai by more than likely killing him. But if you want this to be a SasuxIno fic I won't have to kill Sai I'd like this as SasuxIno because there are very few fics out there that are SasuxIno most of them are SasuxSaku . So there's the choices leave me an opinion in the reviews! Love you all! X x
