Author: Kisu
Rating: R
Pairing: Sasuke x Naruto
A/N: In this fic Naruto is 20-something and Orochimaru is 30-something so you pedophiles out there don't get your hopes up! XD I found a great fascination of the OroNaru pair and decided to write a part 2! So…get ready all you readers, my dirty mind is at work!
Chapter 11: Treading SoftlySasuke's eyes shot open and he got out of bed, his feet touched the bare floor and soft shivers ran down his back. Grabbing a robe, he quickly put it on and strode across the hallway to Naruto's old room.
With a soft knock, he turned the doorknob and pushed the door in. With a frown, he stared at the untouched bed in dismay. Where had he stayed last night? As he turned to walk back to his room, he paused and stared at Itachi's room.
With hesitant steps, he walked towards it, his breath stopping short as he slowly reached out to grasp the doorknob.
"What are you doing?"
He tensed up and looked over his shoulder at where Neji was surveying him with interest.
"I'm looking for Naruto." Sasuke told him as he turned around.
"Did he come home last night?" Neji asked.
"Yes, around 2." Sasuke replied.
"I didn't see him. I was up before dawn." Neji frowned. He had just taken a shower after a brisk jog and his hair fell in damp tangles down his bared back.
"May be he took one of the rooms downstairs." Sasuke commented as he quickly strode down the stairs. He paused, seeing a note taped on the door and tore it off in anticipation.

Sasuke-Had something to do. We'll talk later.
-Naruto.
---
Storming angrily over to the telephone, Sasuke punched in Naruto's cell number with such force, Neji was afraid the keypad would break.
"Is everything all right?" Neji asked, cautiously from the banister. Sasuke was furious and at the second ring, someone picked up.
"Hello? This is Kin speaking."
"Kin?" Sasuke froze and narrowed his eyes dangerously. "Put Naruto on the phone."
"I'm sorry, sir." The woman replied. "Mr. Uzumaki has a meeting right now and he can't be bothered."
"W-What?" Sasuke yelled, angrily. "What kind of meeting?"
"A business meeting, sir. Can I leave a message?" The woman asked, before being cut off as Sasuke slammed the phone back in its cradle.
"Naruto has already taken over Shinja Co." Sasuke gasped as Neji continued down the stairs.
"Uhm, sir." Sasuke whipped around to one of his frightened maids and his eyes softened.
"Sorry." He sighed. "Yes?"
"I found Master Naruto's clothes in the back of his closest and I was wondering if I should dispose of it?" The maid questioned.
"Why would you want to throw them away?" Sasuke frowned. The maid held up the clothes for him to see and Sasuke froze.
Blood stains.
Neji ran over and grabbed Naruto's pants. Staring at them in horror.
"Y-You don't think?" Neji trailed off as they stared at the pants.
"Naruto." Sasuke whispered, feeling sick. "Who did this to you?"

It was late when Naruto got back to his apartment, he tiredly threw his keys on his desk before falling stomach first into his mattress. Not even bothering to undress from his suit and tie.
Fingertips grazed his back and he jumped, falling off the bed and scrambling onto his feet.
His eyes went wide with horror as he realized the man was in his way of the door.
"H-How did you get in?" He gasped, finally as Orochimaru smiled. The taller man slowly walked closer and Naruto backed up until his back hit the wall. He winced at the sudden pain that shot up from his sore bottom.
"Oops. I think I overdid it the other night." Orochimaru chuckled while running his hand over his cheek and tracing the whisker-like marks. Naruto flinched at his touch, shaking horribly. "What's wrong, Naruto? You're shaking."
Orochimaru slowly undid Naruto's tie and tied it around Naruto's eyes.
Then, he slowly unbuttoned Naruto's shirt, planting a kiss down every spot of skin as it was revealed.
"S-Stop." Naruto whimpered as Orochimaru's hands began undoing his belt.
"You enjoyed it last night," Orochimaru whispered, breathing against his ear. "Scream my name, Naruto." His hands went around to cup his buttocks and Naruto let out a scream.
Pain chorused throughout his body and his knees buckled, so he fell against Orochimaru. Sweat freckled his brow and trickled down his neck.
"N-No. Don't." Naruto gasped as Orochimaru ran his free hand through his damp blonde locks.
"Scream for me, Naru." Orochimaru smiled, sinisterly.
---
"Where is he?" Sasuke yelled, angrily stomping on his rug. His eyes flickered around at the priceless objects that decorated every corner of the house. Damn he needed to throw something.
Neji watched him coolly and Shikamaru sat next to him, eyes closed as if he was napping. But they knew he was well aware of what was going on around him.
"Maybe he went back to his apartment." Shikamaru said, cracking an eye open.
"His apartment?" Neji and Sasuke turned toward him in disbelief. "Why didn't you tell us sooner?"
"Well, where has he been living since now?" Shikamaru retorted. Neji and Sasuke exchanged glances.
"Let's go." Sasuke ordered, quickly grabbing his keys. "Show us where his apartment is."
Shikamaru shrugged and got up, stretching before Neji grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and literally dragged him out the door.
In no time, Sasuke's car skidded to a stop in front of a white building. He quickly turned off the engine and the three of them raced up the stairs to Naruto's apartment.
"He lives here." Shikamaru gestured before Sasuke shoved him roughly out of the way.
"Naruto!" He yelled. "Naruto!" He pounded on the door, and it shook from the force.
There was no answer.
"Maybe he's not home?" Neji murmured, eyes showing how clearly worried he was.
"Che. You want me to pick the lock?" Shikamaru asked.
There was a click as the door was unlocked and it slowly drew open. Naruto stood in the doorway, looking pale and exhausted. The knuckles on the hand that gripped the doorframe were white.
"What do you want?" He asked in a hollow voice. They stared at him, and at his dull blue gaze.
"Oy. Oy. Is that how you greet your friends?" Shikamaru drawled as Neji quickly pushed Shikamaru away.
"Naruto, what happened?" Neji demanded, quickly walking toward him. Fear flashed across Naruto's eyes and he quickly stepped back to close the door on them. But Neji was much quicker. The door slammed open and Naruto stood staring at them.
There was something that wasn't right. The air smelled strange.
Shikamaru's eyes widened and he turned to Naruto. "It smells like blood."
"Get out." Naruto said, icily. He lunged forward at Neji, hands targeting his neck. Neji quickly avoided him and darted to the side.
"Naruto?" Sasuke whispered as Naruto's eyes glazed over. "Naruto!" The blonde fell forward and Sasuke caught him before he hit the ground, unconscious. They stared as the hallway light washed over his body. There was a stain on the seat of his pants that trailed down behind his legs to his ankles.
Shikamaru fumbled for the light switch and they gazed in horror at the trail of blood that led to Naruto's bedroom.
Neji ran into the room and stared at the spot where the blood was concentrated.
"We were right." Neji said, hoarsely. Shikamaru ducked his head in and gasped. "Someone did this to Naruto."
"Someone?" Shikamaru asked. "Who?"
"We have to get him to the hospital!" Sasuke's frantic voice broke into their reverie. They quickly snapped into action, Neji hoisted the blonde over his shoulder and they ran down the stairs.
Shikamaru shook his head in disbelief and closed the door behind them with shaking hands.

Sasuke's mother had been half-Japanese with long dark hair and beautiful dark eyes. It was a known fact that Itachi and he took after her in looks. They had been very close to her and when she past away from cancer, their father chose to stay home more often. They were uncomfortable around each other, especially since Uchiha Kenji was never much of a father.
Itachi and he were cold to him, which was a personality trait they had gotten from him. Their mother had been the only one in the family capable of bringing them to the dinner table together. With her bright smiles and warm laughter, they were a happy family.
But when she past away, Sasuke became silent and brooding. Itachi started to hate their father and Kenji buried himself into work.
Then, Naruto had come into their lives and slowly melted the ice away from their hearts.
---
It was one of those rainy nights and Sasuke sat in the parlor, staring at the TV with an expressionless face. He had refused to go to bed, unless Itachi came home. So around eleven-thirty, there was a knock at the door and the housekeeper went to open it.
"Sir, welcome home." The woman said, warmly. "Oh, who's this?"
"Come in." Sasuke had heard Itachi said softly. Curiosity got the best of him and he turned off the TV. Then he got up from the couch and walked over to the open door. Itachi was drenched and the water continued to beat down relentlessly on his head. But, he had not stepped inside. A maid rushed toward them with an armload of towels and offered one to Itachi who smiled in thanks but didn't make a move to come in.
"Aniki." Sasuke said. "Did you find him?" Itachi met his eyes with a slight smile and a small figure draped in Itachi's hooded jacket appeared in the doorway. Sasuke stepped back as Itachi pushed the figure in and stepped inside. Water dripped off their bodies and pooled onto the floor.
"Oh my," The housekeeper took the towels from the maid and sent her to grab a mop.
"Sorry about this, Marie." Itachi laughed. He walked over to the boy and slowly pulled the hood down from the concealed face. A head full of bright golden hair and expressionless blue eyes met Sasuke's dark gaze.
"Is he the boy, sir?" Marie asked, with a soft whisper. At Itachi's nod, Marie's eyes widened. "He's an angel!"
"Who are you?" Sasuke demanded, crossing his arms. Itachi looked at him in amusement.
"This is my younger brother, Sasuke." Itachi introduced as he placed a hand on his shoulder. The angel's blue eyes flickered upwards from the floor and Sasuke narrowed his eyes. "Introduce yourself to him."
"Naruto." He said, his eyes dull and expressionless.
---
It took Naruto a long time to regain the bright sparkle in his eyes. But all three of them found the need to make the boy smile again, especially when Kenji found out about the massacre of the Uzumaki. They all agreed to keep it a secret from the boy until later in the future.
But gradually, Naruto became a quiet and happy child. He was never noisy and he was timid and shy. Sasuke would drag him all over the place and together they would do crazy things like, jump off a tree in attempt to learn to fly. Normal things like that.
Once the family had gone for a picnic in the park. Their father was snoozing underneath a tree while Itachi spread out a blanket for their picnic. "Where's Naruto?" Itachi had asked. Sasuke glanced around and his eyes widened.
"Ah…I'll get him." Sasuke said, quickly dashing off. He was very worried that he had lost his younger brother.
"Give me your money!"
Sasuke turned the corner and stared, his eyes narrowing at the kid that had cornered Naruto. The boy simply stared up at him, unmoving with an expressionless face. The kid was shaking his fist and Naruto sported a bloody lip. Sasuke scowled and stomped toward him when a smooth voice cut through the bully's threats.
"Get away from him."
Sasuke turned and behold, there stood Hyuuga Neji—prodigy and Sasuke's rival, his cousin. No blood relation of course. Hyuuga Hinata, peeked out from behind the boy and waved, shyly.
"Sasuke-niichan." Hinata whispered. "He was picking on the boy and I went to get Neji." Sasuke frowned and stomped toward Neji.
"We don't need your help." He growled. Neji, who was one year older than him and thought he was already an adult—arched an eyebrow in a very adult-like way.
"We?" He repeated.
"Me and Naruto." Sasuke explained as he stared at his dense cousin. "Get away from Naruto before I clock you one." He threatened. The bully took off when he stared at the two boys and Sasuke rushed over to Naruto. "Are you all right? That's a nasty cut."
"I'm fine." Naruto replied, quietly. Hinata popped up from next to him and dabbed at Naruto's lip with a handkerchief. "Itai."
"Sasuke! Naruto!"
They turned to watch Itachi walk up to them. Immediately, he crouched down next to Naruto. "What happened?" He asked, as Hinata shyly gave him her napkin. "Did someone pick on you?"
Naruto shook his head and Itachi frowned.
"What happened?" He asked, looking at Sasuke.
"Well I-." Sasuke began.
"I fell." Naruto whispered. They all turned to look at him.
"You fell?" Itachi repeated, suspiciously eyeing the three.
"I fell." He nodded, looking away. "Don't be mad at them."
---
It was always like that, Naruto refused to let anyone stick up for him. And when they did, he would withdraw farther into himself. Because Naruto was the kind of person that wanted to look out for others and not have others look after him.
Many times, Naruto would take the blame for something Sasuke had did.
Many times, Sasuke would yell at him.
Many times, Naruto would just smile.
"I can't believe it! Naruto, you got them to give you detention!" Sasuke yelled. "It was my fault!"
Naruto giggled softly, before hugging his book closer to his chest. "That food fight that you started was funny." Naruto commented. "But, detention isn't that bad. It's a quiet place where I can read."
Sasuke growled before stomping over to Naruto and jerking his arm, the blonde gave a gasp of surprise before he landed against Sasuke's chest.
"Why?" He asked.
"Because, you're special to me." Naruto laughed, softly as he gazed up at him with adoring blue eyes. Then, he leaned upwards and licked the top of his ear. Sasuke stiffened and Naruto pulled away from him. "Sorry, you still had some whip cream there."
Sasuke smirked and grabbed Naruto by the arm again, kissing him softly on the lips.
They broke away, flushed.
---
"Naruto." Sasuke's slender fingers ran through the blonde's golden locks. "Naruto, who did this to you?"
"Excuse me." The three of them looked up and stared at the two people who had entered the room. Hinata smiled, softly at them and her eyes flickered to Naruto who was lying on the bed. The woman who had spoken was beautiful.
Her golden hair was tied up in a bun and her brown eyes peered at them from over wire-rimmed glasses.
"There is some information that Dr. Tsunade must inform a family member of Naruto's." Hinata said, quietly.
Even though the woman looked very calm and composed, she had been frantic when they had brought Naruto in. After all, Naruto was her supervision as a residential doctor and she had come to favor her charge.
Sasuke stood up.
"I'm his brother." He said.
"Mr. Uzumaki?" Dr. Tsunade inquired, politely.
"Just call me Sasuke." Sasuke replied, quickly. He really didn't want to get into Naruto's adoption and the messy situation of his family name right now. Dr. Tsunade's eyes flashed knowingly before she walked over to the door.
"Let's talk outside." She said. Sasuke obediently followed her, aware of Neji and Shikamaru's questioning stares. They walked out into the quiet hallway and the door clicked shut behind them. "I'm not sure if you know about Naruto's situation."
"Was he…" He broke off abruptly as his voice cracked. He coughed and tried again. "Was he…raped?"
The doctor's eyes studied his for a moment before closing her eyes with a sigh. "Yes."
"Do you know who did it?" Sasuke demanded.
"He was torn up pretty badly. I'll have to say, that he was raped yesterday and it happened again." Tsunade said, quietly. "I didn't want to probe him for any sign of semen. But it will take him awhile to heal."
"Who could do such a thing?" Sasuke hissed, eyebrows drawing together. "Who could be sick enough to-." He paled and slumped against the wall, dark eyes staring helplessly at the tiled floor. "I could have helped him, if only I stayed by his side! Nothing would have--." His voice cracked again and he promptly shut his mouth.
"He might have suffered some psychological shock. When he wakes up, he might have to see a therapist." Tsunade told him.
"I'll take care of him." Sasuke declared. "I've always had."
"I hope you can." Tsunade shook her head. "He has his whole life ahead of him. I hope this doesn't affect his goals."
"Thank you, doctor." Sasuke murmured, before walking back into the room.

Hinata was checking on Naruto's vital signs when he entered. Neji and Shikamaru gave him suspicious looks.
"Yes." Sasuke whispered.
"Yes what?" Shikamaru snapped, a little irritated from Sasuke's lack of response.
"He was raped."
The two seem to explode, one off the wall and one out of his chair. "WHO?" They demanded, angrily.
"Calm down." Hinata warned, gazing anxiously at the person who was on the bed.
"I'll skin them alive." Neji hissed, silver eyes narrowing.
"Not if I get to them first." Shikamaru frowned. This was too troublesome for his liking.
"Shh!" Hinata shushed them as Naruto stirred on the bed. His blue eyes shot open and his face contorted into a pain of agony.
"Naruto!" Sasuke ran over to grab his hand. "Naruto!"
"Who…?" Naruto asked, gripping onto his hand tightly. "Sasuke?"
Then, as everything dawned onto him, a look of fear crossed his face before his blue eyes turned back into a dull blue. With sudden strength, he pushed Sasuke away and sat up. Hissing as hot white pain shot up his back.
"Naruto, you have to rest! Your condition-." Hinata cried, running toward him.
Naruto tried to get up but fell off the bed. He slapped Hinata's hands away when she tried to help him.
"Why are you all here?" He asked, in soft voice. "Get away from me! All of you!"
"What the hell is wrong with you?" Shikamaru yelled.
"I don't need any of you! Get away!" He screamed. "Get out!"
"Naruto, calm down-." Neji interrupted, holding onto Hinata who was a bit shaken.
"Shut up!" Naruto screamed. "Get out!"
"What's wrong?" Sasuke yelled, gripping onto the hysterical man. "Tell me, Naruto!"
"Don't touch me!" Naruto screamed, flinging his arms away. "I'm dirty! Don't touch me!" Sasuke froze as bitter tears fell down Naruto's face. "He'll kill all of you!"
"Who, Naruto?" Neji asked, softly as Naruto's screaming fit dissolved into heart wrenching sobs.
"I'm his toy." Naruto babbled. "I have to be good. I'm good." Sasuke reached out shakily to touch Naruto's shoulder. Naruto flinched and Sasuke shook his shoulder.
"Look at me, Naruto." He ordered, his voice firm and commanding. Naruto shook his head and continued sobbing. "Look at me!" Hesitantly, Naruto looked up and stared in shock as Sasuke's face. Tears seemed to flow down his pale skin in unison with those on Naruto's face.
"Don't cry, Sasuke." Naruto whispered. "I'll protect you, you have to be protected."
"Naruto." Sasuke shook his shoulder again. "You don't have to protect me anymore." He wrapped his arms around Naruto's torso and pulled him toward him. His tears, as bitter as the ones that fell from Naruto's eyes, dampened the bruised skin of Naruto's neck. "I won't let anyone take you away from me. I won't let anyone hurt you again."
"Sasuke, you can't." Naruto hiccupped. "You can't fight him, he's too strong."
"I can't believe you let him do this to you." Sasuke whispered. "Was it for me?" Naruto silence was taken as a yes and Sasuke held him tighter. "What were you thinking?"
"I love you." Naruto cried, burying his face into Sasuke's shirt. "I love you so much, I couldn't let him hurt you. Any of you!"
Sasuke froze.
The man had controlled Naruto by threatening not only him, but also all of them.
That meant…that someone must be familiar with Naruto's past.
But ghosts don't make threats, do they?
So this man wasn't dead yet.
His blood froze in his veins.
"Naruto." He said, in a quiet voice. Naruto tightened the grip on his shirt. "It was Orochimaru, wasn't it?"
