I apologise for the long absence. Many matters have kept me from continuing this fic. However, I do feel responsible for it and I swear I will not abandon it. So anyway, I'm back for the moment! Yay!
To:
Um...a reader: Thanks for pointing that out. I would go review the manga and anime.
Hm... : Actually I think so too. That's why there's a "probably" in front. And anyway, it is supposed to show the ignorance of the character. Apologies if it had led to wrong impressions.

Kakashi dreamed.
He dreamed of the haunting faces of the dead. In his dream, he saw his father's eyes wide opened as his guts spilled all over the floor; he dreamed of Obito's fiercely determined face changing to one of contempt as he looked at Kakashi; he saw disappointment in Yondaime's eyes, saying, "Why do you always break the teams up?"
But most often, Kakashi dreamed of Iruka's sad brown eyes staring accusingly at Kakashi while blood spilled out of his mouth...
And always, Kakashi could hear the Kabuto's soft mocking laughter in the background.
Time held no meaning. Kakashi drifted in and out of consciousness, his mind was groggy, his body weak. Through the haze of pain and helplessness, he understood that they had drugged him.
At times when his head was clearer, he examined his predicament. His captors hadn't bothered to bind his hands. They didn't need to. The drug they fed him with prevented him from using his chakra. They had chained his ankles though, likely to prevent him from escaping. Not that he could have gone anywhere with his injured shoulder and his body weak from the effects of the drug.
They had put him in a small room that was devoid of any windows and only one door, but had allowed him comfort of a bed. It was chilly and they had removed his shirt and vest along with all other weapons he had. They had also removed his mask. Kakashi felt strangely naked without it. Iruka was the only person whom he felt comfortable enough to show his real face.
Kakashi couldn't and therefore didn't try to escape. Konoha would have received his message of Orochimaru's hideout by now. Kakashi would wait patiently for them to find him and tackle Orochimaru.
Finally there came a time when Kakashi woke up feeling clear-headed (although his body was still weak). Someone was tending to his shoulder wound.
Kakashi couldn't see who the person was, but the deft fingers bandaging his shoulders brought back painful memories of Iruka removing the bandages for him... that day... that day had been the first time we kissed...
But as the person lifted his head, Kakashi saw that he was nothing like Iruka...
"Well well.. I see you're awake... senpai." Kabuto leaned back, folding his arms and looking at Kakashi.
Kakashi stared at him lazily, "What does Orochimaru want?"
"What does he want? Why, your Sharingan of course... I'm sure you know it by now... he wants that Sharingan from that precious friend of yours..."
"I will never let Orochimaru get the Sharingan."
"Oh... and what are you going to do? Fight? Don't make me laugh senpai... you can't even fight me in your condition... unless you're going to plead and beg... that might prove amusing to Orochimaru..." Kabuto sneered.
"I will not die without a fight."
Kabuto gave a short laugh. His eyes glinted fiercely. "You will die. It is just a matter of whether you want to go painlessly and peacefully or you want to go screaming all the way to hell... I can make it very easy or very difficult for you..."
Kakashi glared at him, "Go to hell."
Anger flickered briefly in Kabuto's eyes, but was quickly smoothed away and replaced with a face of calm. "Fine." was all that he said.
Kabuto turned to leave.
"Why heal me then? If you will kill me later?" Kakashi called after Kabuto's retreating back.
Kabuto stopped in his tracks. "Because no matter which side we are on, you're still be my senpai." and then he left, leaving Kakashi to ponder over his words.
Kabuto had watched him from the first day he entered school.
He was an engima. He was fair skinned but his mood was dark. Handsome but he hid his pretty looks behind a mask. He had both intelligence and skill but he cared not for power. He was young but his eyes were grave beyond his age.
They had so much in common. The same silver hair, the same early loss of childhood innocence, the same intelligence... So alike.
Kabuto was fascinated with his senpai. But then again, so were many other girls and boys. Besides, he never treated Kabuto with more then basic courtesy.
Kakashi's coolness only fired Kabuto's obsession with him.
And so Kabuto watched his senpai. His keen eyes followed Kakashi around, although he never let it known his interest in him.
Kabuto remembered very clearly one stormy night. He'd been on night watch and he'd seen a lone figure trudging through the rain. It turned out to be Kakashi, bleeding from a dozen cuts on his body. Kakashi had been in ANBU that time, but despite the mask, Katubo had known who he was.
Kabuto had seen Kakashi home and had hastily cleaned up the cuts. He was about to leave when the older jounin's hand had snaked around his waist and pulled him close. They had tumbled to bed together and were naked in each other's arms and mouths within minutes. Kabuto understood Kakashi's need. After the close brush with danger,Kakashi needed to feel alive and whole...
He spent the night rocking in Kakashi's arms, teeteering along the edge of esctasy.
But by the next morning, Kakashi had erased the previous night's events away. He was cool, almost indifferent to Kabuto. And to Kabuto, that was a heavy blow. He'd never really forgiven Kakashi for using him that night and forgetting him so quickly. So Kabuto continued to watch Kakashi, waiting for a moment when Kakashi would finally recognize and remember him.
But Kakashi never did.
It stung. It stung so much to be forgotten by someone who meant so much. But as time passed, Kabuto saw that Kakashi and him weren't quite the same. For while Kakashi was content to hide behind his past and remain as Konoha's lackey, Kabuto was looking forward and setting his sights on becoming more powerful.
And so Kabuto tried to hide his obsession with Kakashi under layers of contempt. But always, no matter how hard Kabuto tried, there was just some mysterious thing in Kakashi that made him so attractive, that made Kabuto want to relive that night together again...
One day, just one day, Kabuto will have the upper hand and he'll make Kakashi his...
"Orochimaru-sama..."
"How is he?"
"Very well."
"When can we begin the operation?"
"In a week's time."
"A week you say... you're sure you need a week?"
"Yes, there are things to prepare to ensure that the operation does not go wrong."
"Fine. But make sure you don't dwaddle."
"Yes, Orochimaru-sama."
"If I may ask..."
"What?"
"Why did we have to move? The ANBU that Konoha sent would have no match for us."
"Baka. Do you want me to have to fight so soon after the operation? I'd rather have no disturbance from them. Besides, if Tsunade and Jiraiya were to team up against us... it'll be difficult for us."
"So you let Kakashi believed that to be our hideout so that he could send word back to Konoha and mislead them? And then after capturing him we spirit off to another place... that is wonderfully devious."
"Save your flattery and go work on your preparations."
"Yes, Orochimaru-sama..."
Kakashi sat in the dark, his thoughts turning often to Iruka. He was glad that he'd left Iruka before he'd come on this mission. He was thankful now that he'd dashed any hopes Iruka could have about their future. Iruka would not have to grieve his loss now, since his last impression of Kakashi would undoubtly have been that Kakashi was a bastard.
The door swung open and Kakashi's breath stopped short as Iruka stepped through the door. Wordlessly, Iruka walked up to Kakashi and began removing his clothes, until he stood in all naked glory before Kakashi.
Dry mouthed, Kakashi could only stare numbly as Iruka's hand moved to the waistband of Kakashi's trousers. And then it was sliding down lower and lower. Kakashi moaned with pleasure and pulled Iruka's naked body on top of him.
They looked into each other's eyes. No words were needed. Nothing was said.There was only the harsh pants and soft cries of pleasure. In the dark room, they devoured each other and their bodies rocked together as they found the rythm to their release.
---
Kakashi sighed with pleasure in his sleep. He was having the most amazing dream. He'd just dreamed of a glorious night of fantastic sex with Iruka.
Funny... if it was a dream, then why did he feel sore all over? If it was a dream, then why did he feel another body snuggled against him? But it couldn't really have been Iruka... unless Iruka was also captured like him...
Kakashi's eyes flew open.
---
Kabuto woke to find Kakashi's fingers closed around his neck. The captured jounin looked sexy and inviting even with eyes blazing hate and chains shackled around his ankles.
Kabuto realized that his jutsu must have worned off during the night.
"Explain! Why did you pretend to be Iruka? Goddamn you!"
The hand around Kabuto's neck quivered with effort.
"Drop it Kakashi." Kabuto said coolly. "You barely have enough strength to last one night of fucking. You think you can stop me?"
Kakashi's hand shook even more violently now, but he eventually released Kabuto's neck. "Damn you... Damn you to hell..." Kakashi whispered desperately.
Kabuto didn't answer. He merely gathered his clothes and walked out.
All I ever wanted was to be relive that night again. It's just great sex, albeit with the enemy, why should Kakashi be so rifed up. Unless... unless it is because of that chunnin, Iruka. Kabuto's fist clenched hard. That good-for-nothing doesn't deserve Kakashi, what does he know about Kakashi anyway. No, only I can ever have Kakashi, because only I understand him and only I can help him now...
End of chapter 11! Chapter 12 will be coming right up! Review please, thank you!
