Promises of Betrayal

Chapter 03

In a shack in the forest

"Sasuke, Sasuke." The whisker-faced boy whispered to him self. /I wanted to be with you. But I didn't want it to happen like this. / The blond continued to rock himself. /I would have never tried to save you if I didn't l-love you…. There I said it, the words I've always wanted to tell you. But you don't l-l-love me do you? Or even care/ He lifted this head toward the hole and slowly opened his eyes, the matching blue of the sky beginning to waver once more as tears began to slide his cheeks.

"Hahaha…" the bitter laugh fell passed his swollen lips. "Uzumaki never gives up!"

The door creaked open.

"Just what I would expected from you Naruto-kun." came a familiar and unwelcome voice from beyond the door.

The man slowly emerged from the shadows, his glasses catching the light and a smug look on his face.

Naruto wiped the tears away and pulled himself into a battle stance despite sore muscles. "Kabuto?"

"Don't worry Naruto-kun. I don't plan on killing you," his smirk blooming into a full on smile. "Orochimaru-sama has other plans for you."

In a messy office

Tsunade, was in her office. Having given the guards specific instructions not to come in unless she asked for them, she had quickly found the most comfortable pile of paperwork on her desk and fallen into a light doze. Caring little about the small puddle of drool that was staing the documents.

A flash of color and smoke swirled in front of her desk (of course, she took little notice of this in her current state) and Jiraiya was now standing in her office. "Hey, Tsunade-hime, is the brat here? He never showed up for training."

The Hokage sat up wiping the drool off here face. "No, I though he was going to leave with you today."

"He was," The sennin replied, a light frown on his face, "but the brat never showed up. I checked the ramen stand, his house, the bathroom, the bathhouse…"

"Are you sure it was him you were looking for?" Tsunade cut in with a raised brow.

"Ahem…but I couldn't seem to find him," he replied with a sheepish grin.

Tsunade gave him a puzzled look, "He had patrol duty last night... Guards!" Two Anbu appeared before her, seeming to melt from the room's shadows. "Get me the patrol records!" They quickly vanished.

Many thoughts ran through Godaime's head. /What's taking so long, for a book/ Naruto was like a little brother to her. /If anything happened…. /

Just then the Anbu appeared with the book and Tsunade opened it, feeling a tinge of worry seep into her good mood as she hunted through the pages for Naruto's name.

"Here, he signed out, but not back in." At that point she snapped. "Why was this not reported?" Slamming her hand down on the desk with a satisfying thump and causing the thick wood of the desk to shudder and groan.

/At least she didn't break the desk. / The frog hermit thought.

"I don't know Hokage-sama." The shinobi in front of her answered.

"Jiraiya, he was patrolling outside the west gate," Falling into her chair, she pinched the bridge of her nose to relieve the stress building there, "Go and look for him."

"I'll find him Tsunade." At this point Jiraiya was beginning to worry too.

Orochimaru's Lair

Sasuke found himself in his chamber thinking about everything that had transpired. The memories of when he had pressed his lips to Naruto's flashing through his head as thought it was happening once more.

"BASTA…"

His lips covered Naruto's, cutting off the blonde's colorful comment. He tasted like Miso-ramen. And it was addicting. He couldn't get enough of it. Finally the need for oxygen won out, he broke the kiss. The dark haired boy laid his for forehead on Naruto's, a smile on his face.

/Hmm/

His smile turned back into a smirk.

/I always thought you would taste like that. /

As the Uchiha lowered his head to his captive's ear, licking and nibbling on it, his other hand found the smaller boys erection, slowly rubbing it, causing it to grow.

"Sasu…ke…" His rival breathed, trying to push up in to the
hand.

/Why do I care/ Sasuke leaned his head on the window, feeling sick and sad as he remembered.

/Because you love him/ another voice in Sasuke's head butted in. /He's the only precious person you have left. /

/And that is why he needs to die. Naruto is the only liability I have. /

/You couldn't kill him last time. What makes you think you can now/

Flash back

Sasuke stood over the now quiet blond. Watching as the semen and blood oozed out from between his legs. Looking over him he could see some of the damage already healing, the bruise on his stomach starting to fade. The rest of the bruises were fading just as quickly, with a few exceptions. Sasuke could see the marks his hands had left upon the other boy in his need for dominance over his one true weakness.

He leaned down and laid a soft kiss on the unconscious boy.

Slowly he took out a kunai and pressed it to his best-friend's neck. It was hard to tell when the other boy had gained such a status in his life, when he had gone from a mere annoyance to something precious. He stayed like that for some time. Just looking at him. The sun bright hair, earthy skin, and whiskered cheeks melding with his eyes to make a creature of daylight and sunshine. To make him so inaccessible to a dark creature like himself.

Sasuke stood and dropped the kunai. He wouldn't kill Naruto in his sleep no matter how merciful it might seem, to both of them. His only friend and rival deserved better than that.

End of flash back

Sasuke stood up and gazed out over the midmorning sun.

/All I need is power… To kill that man/

/What happens after that? Did you think of that/

/I… I'll restart the clan… Besides I can't do that with a male. /

/Fool/ the voice now started sounding very annoyed with him /you know you care. Stop being an ass and get back there and see if you can fix things/

/Don't you think it's too late for that/

/GO! You know he will be in trouble. You left him bleeding and hurting and in that damn collar. If some one finds him he's up a creak without a paddle. /

He hated this. /Fine shut up and I'll go check up on him/ With a sigh Sasuke headed back to the shack, intent on making certain that Naruto understood. Perhaps the only problem was that he still didn't understand himself.
