Show Original thing: Naruto
Rating: PG-13 to R
Warnings: Yaoi, shounen-ai, lemons. OOC to the extremes.
Summary: Sasuke left for Orochimaru, leaving behind his Naruto all those years ago. He often returned to watch his Naruto grow, but never once did he near the boy. Now he's back, and he wants what is rightfully "his".
Comments: Original story, as like last time, Copywrite DoA-sensei, this is just my take as to how it should end. This is also entirely a flash back-chapter. Whee. No song this time. The one I have picked out wouldn't fit in. –shrug- maybe next chapter…
All props given, I think you want to start reading.
(begin chapter two)
Sasuke slowly opened his eyes, looking around at the familiar and yet unfamiliar surroundings before his bleary, sleep tired orbs. Sitting next to him, dabbing his face with a cold cloth was Sakura.
"S-Sakura…?" he whispered, attempting to sit up. Quickly, the pink haired medic-nin pushed him back down.
"No, Sasuke, please rest," she whispered. "Naruto was summoned to the Hokage's…just like all the other ANBU…" She bowed her head, her pink hair falling into her eyes, obscuring his gaze from her's.
The shinobi who'd abandoned his village all those years ago bowed his own head, looking away and laying back.
He hurt all over, from the punishment he'd received from Orochimaru. The snake-like man had found out about his many visits to Konoha and had punished him for it dearly, almost at the cost of his life.
(a)
Orochimaru stood at the entrance to his office, eyes narrowed and unsmiling. Sasuke quickly bowed, whispering, "Good evening, Orochimaru-sama." He rose, only to be found with the other man's fist in his face. Sasuke fell back, coughing and sputtering, staring up at the man he' d called "master" for the last two years. "Orochimaru-sama!" he asked, bewildered and a touch agitated. The punch had caused a small amount of blood to dribble down the side of his mouth and left an already forming bruise.
"All this time…" the snake-like man hissed, "all this time…you've been going back!" He punched the dark haired teen again, causing the Uchiha to fly back from the force. The thin man, possessing the strength and the cunning of a serpent, hissed at the two onlookers, Kidoumaru and Tayuya, "Take him below." The two snapped to attention and grabbed each of Sasuke's arms.
"What did you do, Sasuke-kun?" Tayuya whispered in his ear hoarsely. "I've never seen him this mad…"
Kidoumaru shook his head. "Me neither." A slow shudder rolled up his back, causing his hands to slip slightly on Sasuke's arm. The Uchiha weakly pulled away and wiped the blood off of his face.
"Shit…" was all he said before fainting.
(b)
When Sasuke next opened his eyes, he was chained to a rack, his clothes removed so he lay there totally naked. Orochimaru stood over him with a whip in hand, hissing dangerously through his teeth.
"Did you think about abandoning us?" he growled. "Were you about to destroy us?" Sasuke shook his head wildly, attempting to say, "No! Never!" but the whip cracked loudly above his head. "Don't lie to me, Uchiha. I gave you power; the power used to kill your brother. (1)"
The dark haired teenager began shouting wildly, "I wasn't betraying you!"
"Then why?" The snake-man's voice was no louder than a hiss and no less poisonous than the cobra he reminded Sasuke of. When the man got no response from the Uchiha, he snorted and smirked. "Oh…I see. You wanted to see Naruto-kun." For half a second, Sasuke stiffened at the use of the blonde's name, but quickly laughed to throw off the other man—only too late. He began laughing maniacally, the whip cracking in the air and across Sasuke's chest painfully. The teen cried out before he could stop himself and the whip cracked against him again, and again, and again. Each and ever time the now hated weapon slashed against Sasuke's skin, he cried out, and every time Orochimaru would snap the leather harder against him.
Soon it became too painful for Sasuke to stay conscious. He passed out into the darkness.

Sasuke opened his eyes again to a very bright light and as his eyes adjusted to the sudden brightness of it all, he noticed he was outside, dressed and with his old Konoha head protector—not his Sound—in his fist. A note was attached to his shirt:
"Sasuke,
You are hereby banned from our village for high treason. If you ever return, prepare for a grim death.
--Orochimaru."(2)
Sasuke stared at the note, half in horror, half relieved. He was no longer accepted at the Sound! He could go home, to Konoha!
'Sasuke, you can't go home,' said that annoying voice at the back of his head, the one that sounded oh-so much like Itachi. 'They'll hunt you down and destroy you before you can even step inside the gates.' The voice laughed tauntingly as it disappeared into the far reaches of his mind. The Uchiha sighed, standing slowly on sore legs. He dropped the note even before he finished reading, starting off weakly in the direction of Konoha.
"PS. I have concocted a very strong and deadly poison, and you are now my first guinea pig. Enjoy the rest of your day, it's going to be your last."
(end chapter two)
