Through The Darkness ch. 5
Sasuke's P.O.V.
I was lying on my bed, exhausted from all the study that I've doing lately. Mid-terms were coming up soon and my dad has been putting the pressure on me to well on them. He's always lecturing me about how Uchihas are always on top when it comes to anything everything that we do. I know that he wants the best for me but he doesn't need to constantly remind of Itachi's accomplishments.
I've had years of my dad bragging about what Itachi did better than me. It gets really old, really fast and I'm getting really fed up with it. I just wanted to take a nice long nap without any interruptions. I was about to do just that when the doorbell rings. Why is the universe against me today? What the hell did I do? I roll off of my bed and walked down the stairs.
Who the hell is disturbing me? I open the door, half expecting it to be Naruto. He's hanging around me a lot lately and I'm getting used to it. Weird, I know. I opened the door and every muscle in my body froze. I wasn't expecting to see him here… I wasn't expecting to see him ever again. I've been trying to avoid him as much as humanly possible.
What was he doing here? Why was he here? How did he find where I live? It was Orochimaru and he was leaning against the wall in front of my door with his arms folded with a smirk on his face.
"Hello Sasuke-kun, long time no see" He said looking at me with a smirk on his face.
I couldn't spoke or breathe because my throat was closing up on me. Visions of that dreadful day were appearing in front of my eyes and I wanted to scream or yell at him but fear was taking over. He takes a step towards me and I tried to close the door before he could get in but Orochimaru was quicker. He stops the door with his hand and pushes his way in.
He closes the door behind and makes his way towards me. All I could do was back up until I trip over the couch. I was breathing extra hard as Orochimaru was towering over with a huge perverted smirk on his face. He was loosening the belt to his pants and I knew what was going to happen. It was happening all over again and I'm terrified.
A hand grabbed Orochimaru's shoulder, turning him around. A hard fist came across the rapist's face, knocking him to the ground. It was Naruto and he was beating Orochimaru to a bloody gulp and I never see so much fury behind those ocean blue eyes before. When he was finally done with the creep, Naruto turned his attention to me and cupped my face in his hands.
His hands are surprisingly really soft and he makes me look into his eyes. I feel myself becoming more and more lost those eyes that I always found really annoying. Why have I never notice how hypnotic his eyes are? I feel a small slap on my cheek, snapping me out my thoughts.
"Sasuke-kun, are you okay? Are you alright? Did he tough you?" Naruto asked serious.
I return his hands from my face. I can't answer his questions. They're bringing up too much pain that I don't want to deal with. I can't deal with it. I get up from the couch and walk towards the phone that was in the kitchen. I call the police and dispatcher was sending them over. Naruto was still in the living room, watching over the unconscious Orochimaru.
The police over shortly and it was Itachi who showed up with his partner Kisame. I always found Kisame weird. The guy has blue skin for Pete's sake and a borderline obsession with sharks but he's a cool guy in general… least that's what Itachi tells me. Kisame drags Orochimaru to the police car while Itachi comes into the kitchen to get a statement and being an over-protective brother that he is.
He checks me for injuries and inquires me for information but I couldn't bring myself to admit my shame. I don't want anyone to pity me because of what happen. You can't change the past and all I can do is move forward.
"Sasuke, you have to tell me what happen or else this guy is going to be let out on bail. Is that what you want?" Itachi asked annoyed with my silence.
That isn't what I want. I want Orochimaru to rot in prison for what he did to me but I don't want to deal with the pain that I'm carrying around. I don't want anyone else to go through what I went through if he hasn't already taken someone else before me. I sighed as I decide to come clean… completely clean.
"He… H-He raped me, Aniki. It's been about a month ago and I've done everything in my power to avoid me but he found me somehow. I don't know how he got my address but I'm guessing he came here to rape me again. He would have if Naruto hadn't showed up when he did" I said as the tears fall from my eyes.
Itachi was quiet… too quiet for me. I look at him and his head was lowered that his hair was covering his face. His shoulders were trembling and his fists were shaking. He looks at me and there were tears in his eyes. I never seen Itachi cry before and he pulled me into a tight hug. The tears that I refused to shed were being shed and I held onto my brother. I know that he was probably feeling guilty about what happened to me but I don't blame him. It wasn't his fault that this happen.
"I'm so, so sorry Sasuke. I'm your big brother and I didn't protect you. Please forgive me, I'm so sorry" Itachi said hugging me tighter.
"It's not your fault, Aniki. You've always protected me and looked out for me. Do I a favor, okay?" I asked looking at him.
"Anything, just name it" Itachi said smiling a little.
"Make sure that this bastard never sees the light of day" I said dead serious.
"You got it, little brother. Naruto-san, thank you for being here?" Itachi said turning to Naruto.
I completely forgot that he was still here. He heard everything that I just said. This must mean that he'll give up on me now that he knows that I've been raped. Itachi leaves with Kisame to take Orochimaru to jail, leaving Naruto and I alone in the house. Naruto looks at with unreadable expression and I looked away embarrassed.
"So now you know" I said looking out the kitchen window.
"I know that I don't have a place or a right in asking why didn't you tell me but still. I thought we're getting along pretty well. Why didn't you tell me?" Naruto asked frowning.
"Naruto, this has nothing to do with you. All you wanted from me is sex. Can you honestly say that you didn't just want from me?" I asked looking him in the eyes.
"Yes, I don't just want sex from you. I want to be your friend, your lover and your everything. I love you with all of my heart Sasuke and I want to prove that to you but you have to be willingly to take that risk with me" Naruto said standing in front of me.
I look up at Naruto and I wanted to see some lie or deceit in his eyes but I couldn't find any. I'm not sure if I am willing to take that risk. I want love and to be loved but I'm broken. Why would Naruto want someone that broken and probably beyond repaired?
"I don't know, Naruto. I need time to think about this" I said looking away. I hear Naruto and put his hand on my cheek. He makes me look in his eyes and smiles down at me.
"Take all the time you need. For you, I'll wait forever" Naruto said kissing me on the cheek. He leaves me with my cheek tingling.
