"What took you so long?"

Naruto did not answer Sasuke at first. He was too stunned to find the Uchiha in his apartment.

"Why does he want to talk to me so bad?" said Naruto to himself.

"What do you care?"

"Just curious," said Sasuke, turning around to show Naruto his teasing grin. "You always were kind of slow."

The blond glared at him. Sparks flew from his sky-blue eyes. But he did not respond to Sasuke poking fun at him.

"Shouldn't you be training with that snake?" hissed Naruto.

"If I weren't used to your obnoxious attitude, I might have been offended by that," Sasuke smirked, leaning against the wall.

"No, no, no," continued Naruto in a mockingly understanding voice. "Don't let me keep you from him."

"Grow up, Naruto, your childish antics don't get to me anymore." Sasuke's easy-going demeanor was gone in an instant, but he held onto his confidence as best as he could.

"Run along, Sasuke. Run along," Naruto made a waving motion with his hand. "You were always good at that."

"You were always good at that," smiled Orochimaru, "running away, I mean. It is one of the main reasons you are alive today.

Sasuke looked at his sensei in anger. "I've never run away from anything."

"Oh, really? What did you do when your dear brother killed your clan?" Orochimaru turned his head and winked at Sasuke to show he was teasing.

Even though he knew the snake wasn't serious, his words still burned Sasuke like venom. But in the past two years, the Uchiha had grown accustomed to his sensei's mean sense of humor.

Sasuke and Orochimaru were lying in the grass, looking up at the sky as the stars began to come out. Often, the two traitors (drained from a hard day's work) would lay down and Orochimaru would share his wisdom with his young student.

They had grown close in the past two years. Sasuke had almost forgotten his days in Leaf; his mind had been totally corrupted by the power Orochimaru had promised him.

"Sasuke has improved a lot since we began our special training," thought Orochimaru to himself, smiling at the raven-haired boy. "I had better watch my back."

"I want you to remember something, Sasuke. Always run when there is no chance of winning."

Sasuke's eyes widened in surprise. "What?"

"That is why you are alive today. That is why I am alive today." Orochimaru sighed, almost sadly, at the thought of his cowardice.

Sasuke got up onto his elbows and leaned over the snake's face, looking into the cold, reptilian eyes. "Unlike you, oh honorable Sannin, I will never run away from my battles."

Sasuke had just been teasing, but Orochimaru pushed Sasuke over onto his back with his leg and leaned over him.

"Is that so, little Uchiha?"

"Sensei, I was just..." Sasuke gasped as Orochimaru caught his pale stuttering lips into his own strong and calloused mouth.

"Is that what you think of me, Sasuke? The weakest Sannin?" snickered Orochimaru before enclosing Sasuke's mouth into another passionate kiss. He rubbed his tongue onto his student's, but the Uchiha did not respond.

"I think you will find you are quite mistaken."

Sasuke was in shock. Was this really Orochimaru kissing him? What the hell was going on? But he soon snapped out of it. Gathering his chakra into his legs, Sasuke kicked Orochimaru off of him. "What the fuck are you doing?"

The snakes eyes were ablaze in passion. "Oh, so that's how you want to play, is it, Uchiha?"

Orochimaru leapt onto Sasuke's shoulders, bringing him to his knees with the excess weight. The snake straddled his student, forcing his obviously aroused crotch into Sasuke's face.

"No, I don't..." Sasuke was shut up by Orochimaru's mouth once again. Even without the use of his arms, his sensei could easily win. There was no hope.

"I think you forget," whispered Orochimaru, holding Sasuke down with his powerful body, his tongue working its way around Sasuke's neck and ear. His lips paused at the Uchiha's lobe, nibbling it tenderly. "I own you."

Sasuke was helpless against Orochimaru. He was helpless when his chakra ripped off his clothes. He was helpless when Orochimaru forced himself into Sasuke, sealing his words.

"I own you," giggled the snake a few times after the deed was done. Thinking it safe, Orochimaru stayed next to Sasuke's naked body, his bare and lifeless arm hugging his student as he dozed off to sleep.

Sasuke was still in a daze. Had this really happened? Was it possible?

Suddenly, Sasuke's eyes turned red with anger. He had let Orochimaru take advantage of him. With a simply thrust of his hips, Orochimaru had turned Sasuke into a vulnerable, confused teenager instead of a respectable warrior.

"Is this what he had in mind all along?" thought Sasuke to himself. Tears welled in his eyes. The two traitors had become friends in the two years they had spent together. Maybe even best friends.

"FUCK!" Screamed Sasuke, leaping up onto Orochimaru.

"Oh, so you're wanting more, Uchiha?" smirked his sensei, eyes droopy from just waking up.

"You bastard," whispered Sasuke. With a quick motion of his wrist, Sasuke grabbed a kunai from the pile of their discarded clothes and stabbed Orochimaru in the heart. The snake was so surprised, he didn't even try and save himself.

"No one owns me," hissed Sasuke. "No one. Least of all, you." Sharinghan blazing, the raven-haired boy twisted the kunai until he was sure Orochimaru was dead. His hands dripping with the snake's blood, Sasuke jumped off of his former-sensei and ran off into the woods.
