Kakashi P.O.V.
His head bent to my neck, kissed, licked and bit so gently I almost didn't feel it. Maybe I never would have. Looking up into the dark empty space around me I wondered once more why I torture myself in such a way. Sighing I stood and turned, gasping my surprise. His lips curled, his eyes shone. He really was here. I reached out a pale hand to stroke the paler face. He was here; it was for real this time. I lifted my other hand to my neck to find it was sticky and wet. I closed my eyes, a peaceful smile forming on my face as I cupped my lover's cheek. He pressed into my palm and mewled softly.
"Kakashi" He whispered, his voice soft, loving. I stepped closer to him and pressed my body to his.
"hmm" I murmured. "What is it?"
"I will get revenge." He was licking and biting my neck again, a hand pulling through my hair.
Sasuke P.O.V
I slumped exhausted into the armchair by the bed. Naruto still lay sleeping peacefully, his bright eyes closed, blonde hair falling over his face and his hand stretched over the edge of the bed hanging limply towards my own. I reached up once more to stroke his fingers which made him sigh. He was mine. Itachi hadn't succeeded in taking him from me. I wondered why Itachi would want my Naruto; he had never done anything to hurt Itachi. Just then a knock echoed throughout the apartment and I jumped, dropping Naruto's smooth hand. I walked smoothly to the door and opened it to find the white haired man crouched on the doorstep.
"What do you want?" I asked, my chin held high as I looked down my nose at the man.
"It's Itachi. Sasuke you have to stay away from Naruto, he's in danger" He gasped.
"Sure. So now you want me to leave my precious Naruto alone so you can ravage him yes? Well no I won't be leaving him alone." I sneered, not pausing long enough for him to answer. I turned to slam the door in his face when he shouted.
"Sasuke, Itachi wants to hurt you. He's willing to hurt Naruto to get to you. Believe me! I swear it's true!" I did a double-take. Of course, how could I have not realized this before? Surely it is so obvious, Itachi wants to hurt me. Naruto is the most precious thing in my life. Itachi planned to take away my life by taking away my Naruto. My eyes widened and I stared down at Kakashi before whirling and racing to my bedroom. I wrenched open a cupboard and pulled all the clothes out in one swipe, knocking them all to the floor from which I grabbed them up and stuffed them into an open bag. I zipped it up and ran out the door. I'd decided I wouldn't say goodbye, I had to leave right away, there was no time to waste. I ran straight past the room where he slept before stopping by the stairs and turning. He was in there, blissfully unaware of my betrayal. I dropped my bag and sprinted to the room. I sat on the bed and pulled Naruto's head onto my lap, bending to kiss his forehead gently. He mumbled something and I stared into his sleeping face, a single tear forming in the corner of my eye. I lifted Naruto off me gently and placed him back into the bed, roughly wiping away the tear. I would forget I ever loved him. I looked down at him and closed my eyes, willing myself to remember only that. After a while I stood and left the room, retrieving my bag and sprinting down the stairs to where Kakashi kneeled. I pushed past him and disappeared into the night. Disappeared from Naruto's life.
Naruto's P.O.V
I woke up, stretched and reached out for Sasuke's warmth. All that was there was cold, bone chilling cold. I moaned and sat up, swinging my legs from the bed as I stood to find my raven.
"Sasuke?" I called out as I peeked into the bathroom. Wincing I closed the door and continued to the next bedroom. Empty. I started to panic. I checked the living room, imagining him curled on the sofa, a mug of hot chocolate cradled between his palms as he waited for me. I was thoroughly disappointed to find that this was not the case. I sank into the sofa feeling utterly hopeless. He was gone.
Images flashed through my mind and I remembered when Itachi held me hostage. The fear and the pain mixing together until I could no longer tell the difference between the two emotions. I had never told Sasuke exactly what had happened, I hadn't wanted him to worry but I guess it was useless. He would find out very soon. I so badly wanted to save him as he had saved me but I am just so scared. I never want to see that evil man again. I cowered further into the couch wishing I wasn't so pitiable, wishing I could save my raven.
"Sasuke..." I whispered into my hands.
Itachi's P.O.V
Foolish little brother, nothing he could ever do would save his precious blonde. I had taken him once and I plan to take him and make him mine forever, properly.
Sasuke P.O.V
I ran, always pushing myself to go faster, the further away from Naruto I was the safer he would be. Every inch of my body screamed for his touch. My eyes burned every time I closed them to see his face on my eyelids. The only coherent thoughts I could muster were ones of Naruto, nothing else made sense. Without Naruto there was no sense, no purpose. Every night I would lie down, uncomfortable, my mind on Naruto. Every morning I'd wake and turn around, deliberating whether I should return home and every morning I turned to face forward once more and continue on, my heart screaming painfully for my blonde.
I had to constantly tell myself this was to save him. Even though it felt like a lie. It felt like a lie but it was true, I loved him so much. I shook my head miserably and forced myself to think of other things.
"So" I said. "Did you ever really love him?"
"Of course" I answered. Oh great, so now I'm being all nosy. Not like it's my business.
"So what do you think of the weather?" I scoffed at this question. "Absolutely fine. Look at the sun doesn't it just remind you of..." My voice broke as I stared into the sun. His hair, I could feel it on my fingers, the softness. I could see his bright blue eyes shining. I wanted him so badly. I looked up to find him collapsed on the ground. I ran to him and embraced his thin body, kissing his hair and stroking his face.
"I'm sorry" I cried. "I didn't want to leave, honest."
"But how is the weather?" He asked me. I smiled at him and looked up into the sky, the clouds had gathered and darkened. They were frightening, so daunting. I turned my face to look into his eyes. He was gone, a log laid motionless in my arms, covered in moss. I dropped the lifeless wood and covered my face with my hands, sobs wrenching my entire body.
(A/N: he was talking to himself. I'm sorry if it isn't clear but yeah, he is delusional)
Dear Diary,
It seems like everyone has disappeared from this Earth, no one has shown up for training for almost two months now. I wonder what is happening.. Is Sasuke ok?
Sakura.
Naruto's P.O.V
He's gone. He won't ever come back, I know it. I keep going over the days before he left. Had I done something wrong?
I spent my days in bed, doing nothing, talking to no one. I still haven't even left his apartment. Whenever someone comes to the door I curl up behind the sofa. I haven't had a shower for ages, it reminds me of him, and I remember the water dripping from his skin, the taste of him the feel of him. Every time I go anywhere near there I start hyperventilating. If I only ask for one thing it would be to have Sasuke back. Every night I go to bed, wondering where he might be, what he might be doing and whether he was thinking about me. I know the last thing is impossible; he left me for a reason. He wouldn't be thinking about me.
It took weeks before I felt myself enough, the day marked three months and four days since he left. I ate breakfast alone at his old dining table, staring at his old place. For the first time since he left, I left the house. I walked down the streets feeling isolated and alone, marked as if I had some visible disease. To me his absence was a disease. I couldn't eat, couldn't sleep.
"Naruto! Hey, Naruto!" I turned to see Sakura bouncing toward me, her pink hair swinging behind her. "Have you seen Sasuke? I wanted to ask him something..."
I slumped to the ground at the mention of his name, my shoulders shook uncontrollably and the tears flowed heavily from the corners of my eyes. Oh god how I missed him!
"What's wrong Naruto?" She asked gently.
"He's gone." I rasped, choking on my breath as I admitted this aloud for the first time. I curled in on myself, cradling my knees to my chest and rocking backwards and forwards on the pavement.
"Naruto." She whispered my name, her voice sounded thick as if she too were crying. She could never understand the pain I felt. I screamed and shot to my feet, sprinting away from her furiously. I skidded around a corner and ran into something large and solid. I collapsed to the ground once more, dazed from the impact.
Gruff hands grabbed my arms and pulled me to my feet. I looked into his eyes, the dark black melting into me, seeping beneath my skin,
"Sasuke" I whispered. The man smiled.
"Sure" His grin widened and black painted fingernails traced my face. I allowed Sasuke to lead me to a place. It was dark and smelt funny but Sasuke would protect me, I knew he would.
Itachi's P.O.V
I cannot understand how brother could stand this idiot. He was so foolish he actually allowed me to take him away. He didn't even put up a fight. I could see this was going to be easy.
I lead him back to the original hide out. I knew we were safe; Kakashi had made sure of it. I tied the boy's wrists together and he mewled with excitement. I still couldn't believe how stupid he must be, to still think I was Sasuke, he must be severely deluded. I suckled his neck, leaving a large red bruise as the boy screamed in ecstasy. I never intended to be soft or gentle. I wanted him to scream in pain, in fear. I ripped his pants from his hips and freed myself, plunging into him with no preparation whatsoever. The boy gasped but bucked against me all the same. I dug my nails into his hips and slammed my pelvis into him, forcing my penis inside his tight hole roughly. The boy was screaming, not in pain but in pleasure, his hips pressing back on me, matching my thrusts. I had to wonder how many times Sasuke had done this to the boy for him to be so accepting of it.
I kept him for such a long time. I started to believe Sasuke never cared for this boy. This small piece of thought gave me much to torture the younger boy with.
"He won't come back for you Uzumaki. Don't you get it? He never loved you; you were simply his favourite sex toy." The boy sobbed as I whispered the lie into his ear. "I don't know why you bother wasting your breath calling for him every night."
The boy flinched away from my words. This was apparently going to be hard, to convince the stubborn boy Sasuke would never come for him.
"He will!" The boy sobbed. "I know he will!"
"Yes..." I whispered back and the boys face lit up slightly "When he needs another sex toy."
The boy fell to his knees and curled up on the cold floor, hugging his knees to his chest.
Naruto's P.O.V
I lay curled on the floor long after the man left me. I just couldn't believe Sasuke would leave me like that. Where was he? Why did he leave? Did I do something wrong?
I curled in on myself further and my body shook with the sobs that wrenched tears from my eyes as I clutched my stomach which threatened to burst at just one more thought of my raven. I squeezed my eyes shut and all I could see was Sasuke's beautiful face smiling his special smile just for me. Several times that night I screamed out his name in my sleep, my dreams wracked with images of my raven. I could feel his lips, his fingers tracing my face, his heated breath on my cheek. He told me how much he loved me and then he disappeared... Again.
I woke with a start, sitting up I stared around the dark room, my hair falling onto my face. I wiped it away and tucked it behind my ear as I stared at a figure in the dark corner.
"I'm sorry" It croaked. I crawled out of bed and stood slowly, my steps awkward but deliberate as I moved towards him, my arms circling his strong chest.
"Sasuke" I whispered before I collapsed onto the floor, unconscious.
