Therapist Equals The Rapist

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. If I did I would totally make Sasuke and Naruto have hot smexin' sex.

Summary: Sasuke is a being that feeds on the human soul through sexual intercourse. There are many like him on Earth, blending in with society. The only problem? Every person they have intercourse with dies, so most of them resorted to rape instead. One of them makes a mistake and a victim gets away. In comes, Naruto, a detective given charge of the investigation. His prime suspect? Why! It's Sasuke of course! But is he in over his head on this one?

Chapter 15

For days Naruto laid on the experiment table with no change. The monitors recorded a repetitive data. Sasuke never left his side. He walked rounds around the lab till he memorized every little speck of dust. He checked the data every now and then when it jumped slightly out of routine. But nothing happened. Devastated Sasuke would slump down onto the chair beside Naruto and clutch the blonde's hand. He brought it up to his lips and produced a choke sob each time. He would whisper into Naruto's hand praying, wishing, and pleading for the blond to awaken. His words fell on deaf ears as Naruto lay quiet and pale. He never responded not even a slight hitch of a heart beat.

Tsunade came in everyday on a scheduled time to check the blonde's progress and vitals. She always left with a heavy gloom and words that left Sasuke more devastated than ever. Despite hearing it every day Sasuke could never process the fact that Naruto is fighting the change but he hasn't made progress since day one. He was slowly wearing down. His body is starting to break down and change at a regular rate. He refused to believe Naruto, who always seemed invincible to negativity and survived the experiment, was going to die. It wore him down each day as Tsunade repeated her words.

"Sasuke," Tsunade greeted him for the day. She walked in precisely at 6:00 pm. He didn't even respond. He sat by Naruto's bed with his hand in his. His eyes fixated on Naruto's breathing. She sighed and headed for the monitors. Picking up the clipboard she eyed him.

"When was the last time you ate?" She asked casually. Sasuke ignored her. "Sasuke," she called. The raven grunted.

"Answer me, Sasuke, when was the last time you ate?" She asked again.

"Doesn't matter," Sasuke grumbled back at her.

"Doesn't matter? It matters alright." Tsunade placed the clipboard down once she finished checking the heart monitor. "If you don't eat soon you'll die faster than Naruto! Go eat something." She tugged on his arm. He pushed her away hard. Tsunade slammed against the desk. She cursed at him.

"Leave me alone! Finish your check-up and get out!" He shouted.

"Uchiha Sasuke!" Her tone became strict and commanding. "Look at yourself! What you're doing to yourself is exactly the opposite of what Naruto wants!" Instantly Sasuke was in front of her. He clutched her chin in a tight grip and growled in her face. He barred his fangs and hissed.

"Know your place Tsunade! I am the King of this kingdom not you! You are my subject. I am your lord. Your job is to revive Naruto. I don't care if you have to exchange your life for him. You revive him or I'll end you!" He spoke in command. He struck her hard on the head sending her to the ground. She spit out blood and looked up at him. No longer was he the small boy who held Naruto's hand as she raised them. He's outgrown that stage. Right now all she sees is the man who's king and able to end her life with a twitch of a pinky. Grunting back her retort and anger, she got up wiping the blood off with her lab coat.

"Yes your majesty," she bowed even though it made her woozy and her face throb painfully. Quietly she walked back to checking the machines. She wrote down the data and sighed as she reviewed the week's work. It was all the same. She didn't even know why she bothered to write it down anymore. Placing the clipboard down Tsunade checked over the machines once more before turning around.

"Get out," Sasuke ordered seeing she was done. Tsunade stayed for a second but left quickly with one look from Sasuke. She cursed as the pain on her face intensified. She closed the door and began walking as she palmed her injury.

"Sasuke struck you?" Orochimaru came out from a corner. She snarled at him.

"What do you think?" Tsunade wasn't in a good mood herself. Orochimaru chuckled a bit but ceased it quickly.

"Did you tell him?" Orochimaru asked as they began walking again.

"Tell him what?" She asked. He gave her a look. She shook her head. "No, he pulled the whole 'I'm King and you're not' card." She grumbled as she tasted blood in her mouth. Orochimaru sighed.

"Let's get you to the infirmary." He grabbed her arm and walked them faster. She cursed but allowed him to drag her. She wasn't feeling so good anyway. She hated when the ones she raised pulled that kind of thing with her. Once Sasuke was back to his normal self she's going to give him a good lecture and maybe a punch.

WONDER WHAT LEE IS DOING

Despite being in the hospital Lee was being rough handled by his superior and two detectives. He leaned back against the puffy pillows and yawned. He stared blankly at the foot of the bed as the three continued to lecture him and ask him questions about what happened. He yawned dramatically and gave them a sarcastic smile.

"Gentlemen… I'm sorry to interrupt your heated conversation but… I'm tired." He smiled. His superior glowered at him.

"Rock Lee, do you know the situation you are in? You allowed a criminal to escape a highly guarded prison." He said.

"Uh huh, I allowed him to escape in a sealed room with no windows, three chairs, and a table. Right," Lee dead panned.

"Detective Lee, we have to ask you some questions." One of the detectives pushed his superior away.

"Sure go ahead." Lee waved dismissively at him.

"Why did you go to meet with Sabaku no Gaara?"

"… I had to run something by him."

"What was it?"

"His statement." Lee gave him an impatient look.

"Detective Lee I need you to be more cooperative. Right now it's not looking too good for you."

"Oh yeah? Why?" Lee challenged him with a smirk. The detective questioning him took a seat and situated himself before sighing.

"You are his arresting officer. Sabaku no Gaara was awaiting trial. You processed him and booked him. He had an attorney."

"Is this going anywhere soon?" Lee yawned.

"My point is, Detective Lee, you had no rights to go and meet with Sabaku no Gaara. You said you went to run his statement by him. Why?"

"There were some things that didn't add up." Lee shrugged.

"Yet you didn't report to your superior?" The Detective gauged Lee's reaction.

"Look, instead of interrogating me while I'm in the hospital recovering from my attack, why don't you investigate how he got out?" Lee asked him with an obvious fake smile.

"Detective Lee, being uncooperative makes you look even more suspicious."

"I was a suspect?" Lee laughed in his face. The detective got up with a displeased glare.

"Detective Lee!" The man shouted at him. Lee's face grew cold.

"Detective," Lee began. "I suggest you get started on looking for Sabaku no Gaara."

"This is over. If you're not willing to cooperate with me then we're leaving. Just let us advise you. You're case is not looking too good for you. Your badge may be in danger." He swept out of the room with his partner. Lee snarled behind his back and made faces. He didn't care. Though he didn't understand why he was being complicated with them. He felt a mysterious need to protect Gaara. Where it came from? He doesn't know. It just appeared when they came in and began asking him about the red head. His last moments with Gaara in the meeting room flashed by. He watched through his mind's hazy vision as Gaara bit him and stole something. Though when he touched his neck there was no marks of having ever been bitten. But he was positive Gaara bit him. Then it flashed to Gaara releasing him. He whispered in his ear and then left through that giant black hole.

Be aware of Naruto. He's not human.

The words played again in his mind. He winced and took a deep breath. Gaara's words played doubts in his brain about Naruto. He started looking at the blond in a different light afterwards.

"Ahem," his superior cleared his voice. Lee shot his head up and looked at him wide eyed.

"Yeah?" he asked startled.

"You spaced out there, Lee." His superior sat down and sighed. He sounded defeated and tired. "Look, Lee, I don't know why you're being complicated with the detectives. I don't want to know why you went to meet with Sabaku no Gaara."

"… what you're trying to say?"

"You're in deep water, Lee. The higher ups are breathing fire at me for not knowing my employee went to meet a criminal without permission. Not to mention he escaped under your watch." His superior sighed and ruffled his hair. "The detective wasn't shooting empty threats. You really might lose your badge over this. Is it really worth it?"

"… I don't know, Frank. Everything's so messed up right." He said to his superior. The man sighed.

"I'd really hate to see you go, Lee." He looked worried. "I know I said that I don't want to know why you did what you did but… why?"

"Not you too, Frank!' Lee shouted.

"Lee I just want to know something. Something to ease my mind. Something to anchor me." He looked Lee straight in the face. Lee looked away and speculated what he was going to say.

"I had to see him." Lee spoke without hesitation. "Just understand that. It wasn't a choice." He offered no more.

"I hope you know what you're doing. It's a big risk." His superior shook his head. Lee sighed and gave him a small apologetic smile. He looked up, breathed deeply, and turned back to his superior.

"Where's Naruto?" He asked. The man suddenly got uncomfortable. Lee arched an eyebrow.

"Well… you're not going to like this." He chuckled.

"What now? Did he blow something up? Destroy an entire street?" Lee asked.

"No. He… disappeared."

"AGAIN!" Lee shouted.

"Yeah." His superior shrugged. "Just disappeared off grid. We can't find him anywhere. And here we thought we could close his case… guess we'll have to leave it open."

"… Forget it." Lee held his head and groaned. "This is too much. I'm going to sleep. Forget the world. I'm focusing on me." He threw everything away and slid back down into the bed. His superior stood.

"Well I'll get going then. My lunch break is almost over anyway." He waved good bye and headed out the door.

"Later, Frank." Lee responded but closed his eyes before he could say anything more.

WONDER WHAT SASUKE IS DOING

Sasuke's daily routine was interrupted by Kakashi two hours after Tsunade's daily 6 pm check-up. The silver haired man strolled at ease and looked around. He ignored the raven who had sat back down hanging on Naruto's every breath. Slowly he made his way over to Sasuke's side. He placed a hand on Sasuke's shoulder. It was quickly shaken off.

"Sasuke you have to eat." He started.

"Unless you want a matching face with Tsunade you shut up." Sasuke spat back. Kakashi scratched the back of his head and hummed.

"You can't go around attacking people who disagree with your self-treatment." He continued. Sasuke clenched his fists. "Naruto's fighting his war. He's doing his best to survive for another minute longer. If you perished before him you won't get to see him to his last breath."

"… I'll eat when he awakens." Sasuke spoke more to Naruto than it was to Kakashi.

"You can't do that, Sasuke. You're already looking grim and half dead." Kakashi countered.

"I can't eat unless it's Naruto." Sasuke wrapped his arm around Naruto's torso.

"You can't do that Sasuke."

"I know that." Sasuke answered back. He wasn't trying to. The last thing he needs is Naruto dying mid fight. Kakashi stayed silent. He looked around weighing his options. Quietly he moved away from Sasuke and headed out the door. Then came back in but this time he wasn't alone. He was dragging a weeping girl by the arm. She was disheveled and her mascara was running.

"Sasuke you're going to eat." Kakashi dragged her forcefully across the lab. She cried and scratched at him. She screamed when he threw her down by Sasuke's chair. She whimpered looking up at Sasuke's unmoving form. The raven didn't spare her a glance but the scent of her soul taunted him. He was so hungry. He took another whiff. A healthy soul for the taking was presented to him. But he held himself back. He wasn't going to take anything other than Naruto.

"Get her away from me." Sasuke spoke.

"You're weak, Sasuke. You can't hold out for long." Kakashi walked away and locked the door. The girl sat whimpering and cried and begged for mercy. Sasuke grabbed onto Naruto's hand and placed it right under his nose. He concentrated on Naruto's fading scent.

"Find the farthest corner away from me, woman." He spoke to her. Quickly she scrambled off the floors and charged into the closet. She closed the door and sat down in the corner. Her whimpering still travelled though. He still heard her. Taking another whiff of Naruto's scent he laid his head down on the table and closed his eyes.

If I perish with Naruto than fine. We'll go together.

With that thought in mind he drifted away. His head swayed and spun. His eyes strained behind his dark lids as he fell deeper into sleep. Suddenly he was tired and he yawned. A small nap couldn't hurt. When he awakens Naruto would still be breathing. He'll still be fighting. With that thought in mind he drifted off.

"Sasuke! Sasuke! Come on!" a loud cheery voice shouted beside him. A warm hand shook his shoulder harshly. "Wake up!" the voice shouted again. He groaned and turned onto his side. He swatted the hand away and hugged himself tighter.

"Sasuke!" The voice whined. The hand shook him again. "Come on, Sasuke. Wake up!" The voice shouted again and the hand shook violently this time. Sasuke groaned and pulled away but the hand came back and tugged his being onto his back. He growled and opened his eyes to a bright light.

"Good you're awake." The voice said. His eyes widened as he sat up in the passenger seat of a car out in the open country road. They drove past the desert with the sun beating down on them. He turned to the driver only to see Naruto with sunglasses and smiling at the road ahead.

"Naruto?" He asked. The blond turned to him briefly.

"Yo!" He greeted happily pulling the sunglasses down for a look before pushing them back up and focusing on the road again. "I thought you'd never wake up." He commented.

"What-Where-How…." He didn't know where to start. Last thing he remembered was being in the lab with Naruto lying on the table practically dead. Now he was on the road with a healthy Naruto driving? He didn't even know where they were. Naruto gave him a weird look.

"Uhh… you ok Sasuke?" Naruto asked.

"How did we get here?" Sasuke asked him back. Naruto clicked his tongue over his teeth in thought.

"I brought you here." He said.

"You brought me here?"

"Yeah, Sasuke. I brought you here. The minute you fell asleep." He smiled at the raven.

"Why?" Sasuke asked.

"… You're killing yourself." Naruto said in a sad tone.

"What?"

"You're killing yourself Sasuke. Just because something's not agreeing with you, you ignored your own life." Naruto sighed. "You can't go around doing that Sasuke."

"To hell with life." Sasuke muttered.

"No, not to tell with life. You have a whole kingdom waiting for you. You are a ruler, a leader. You have subjects who would be lost without you. You have to survive. You are their King. Start acting like one." Naruto scolded.

"I don't want to be King if that means losing you, Naruto." Sasuke took one of the blonde's hands. Naruto gave him a sad look. "You're too precious."

"I'm only one person. I'm a human. I was bound to go someday. I was supposed to go that day." Naruto smiled sadly. "I already got an extended life. It's time I cash in my dues."

"No. I won't let you. You'll wake up! You'll fight this and win." Sasuke threw Naruto's words out the window. The blond shook his head with a chuckle.

"Always fighting the world. That's what I love about you. You're always so ambitious despite what you try to sell your kingdom." The blond laughed. "But this time I want you to stand down." Naruto spoke in a softer voice.

"What!" Sasuke growled.

"I'm tired Sasuke. All this fighting. All this experimenting. What for? So I can further extend my life? I'm sorry. I can't. I think this time… I want to go."

"NO! I won't let you!" Sasuke growled at him. His fangs descended. Naruto looked at him amused then laughed a little.

"You can't scare me like that Sasuke. I'm not one of your other subjects." He faced the road again. "Oh by the way, it was uncalled for, striking Tsunade." He glared at him. "She practically raised you and you strike her just because she's trying to get you to eat? What are you? A child?" Naruto lectured him.

"Forget about Tsunade. You're not dying Naruto." Sasuke grabbed his arm and pulled him towards him. Naruto glared at him and pulled back.

"You can't force me." Naruto said.

"Naruto! We fought to be together and now you're giving up!" Sasuke shouted.

"Look, I don't want to fight anymore. I just want to rest… I want to be able to let my guard down. I want to be able to just sleep and forget the world." Naruto smiled fondly of the idea. "Just please, let me go."

"No," Sasuke made it final.

"Sasuke, everything has to end." Naruto tried to reason with him.

"No, Naruto. I'm not letting anything end for us. We'll live together forever. Come back to me. I promise I'll make it alright. I'll speed up the experiments. You'll live!" Sasuke sounded desperate. Naruto shook his head with a small defeated smile.

"Sasuke, Sasuke, Sasuke, it's over. I used to be afraid of the day I would die. I was afraid for this to happen. I didn't want to leave you, I still don't. But-!"

"Then don't." Sasuke interrupted. Naruto shushed him.

"I'm not done. I don't want to leave you. I never will. But I'm so tired. I can't go on. It's over for me. I know it." Naruto smiled at him. Then he stopped the car. But Sasuke didn't pay attention to that. It wasn't important.

"You say we can live forever but everything must have an end. Like this road." Naruto gestured around. Sasuke didn't even look. "Many interstate highways are a long stretch of infinity to many people. They keep going and it never ends. It just crosses over to another highway through a town or a crossroad. But… amongst this maze there is an end." Naruto gestured to the front of the car. Slowly Sasuke looked forward to see they stopped at a dead end. There were no more roads for them to go. Beyond them was just a mass amount of nothing, a desert that will bring along death to anyone who ventured into it.

"I'll meet you on the other side, Sasuke. I'll wait for you no matter how long it takes." Naruto leaned over to his side and gave him a chaste kiss. He pulled back and looked Sasuke in the eyes. "Good bye Sasuke."

"Naru-!" But everything faded.

Sasuke awoke. He flew off the table and latched onto Naruto. He became frantic as he looked at the machines only to see a flat line on every one. The noise grew louder as the flat line continued. He grabbed the blonde's shoulders and shook him violently. Tears stung his eyes and blurred his vision as they fell onto the blond, soaking his shirt.

"NARUTO! NO! COME BACK! NARUTO!" Sasuke shouted. Unsure what to do Sasuke screamed louder and louder. He shook the blond, clung to him, hugged him tight, but nothing happened. Naruto was gone.

The door opened in a frantic hurry. Tsunade, Orochimaru, and Kakashi charged in all at once. One look at the scene and all three went into action. The two doctors proceeded to check Naruto's situation as Kakashi tried to pry Sasuke off Naruto. Sasuke fought him with all his might. He screamed, growled, and threatened bodily harm but Kakashi kept tugging him. The raven's grip on Naruto's body was tight.

"No! No! Naruto! Naruto!" He screamed.

"Sasuke, you have to let him go!" Kakashi shouted.

"No! Leave me alone!" Sasuke pulled away from Kakashi and latched onto Naruto.

"Sasuke! Tsunade and Orochimaru can't help him if you won't let him go!" Kakashi pulled the youth away from the blond and dragged him across the room. Silently he was happy that Sasuke hadn't eaten in weeks. Or else he would have a hard time prying him off Naruto. Sasuke still fought him but Kakashi had him pinned.

"Sasuke!" Kakashi shouted and the raven stopped as he focused on Naruto's body. He watched as the two doctors proceeded to save him. But it was to no avail. Naruto was gone for good. Minutes later Tsunade and Orochimaru looked at each other before bowing their heads. Sasuke shook his head.

"No, no, no," he repeated as he slid to the floor. Kakashi released him. He too bowed his head. The room grew silent as Tsunade placed a white comforter over Naruto.

"I'm calling it… Uzumaki Naruto died 11:34 pm, age 24." Tsunade spoke in a sobbed whisper. She cried into her hand as she smooth the blond spikes that poked out from under the white sheet. "Oh, Naruto." She cried. She turned away and collapsed onto the chair by the desk. Orochimaru shuffled forward and placed his hands on her shoulder. She sobbed.

Sasuke slowly got up and staggered over to Naruto. He kneeled by the table and placed his arm around Naruto's waist. His other hand caressed his covered cheek. Tears slid down his crest fallen face. He whispered the word 'why' at Naruto's still form.

"Naruto… why?" He sobbed. Slowly he pulled the sheet away and leaned forward. He returned the kiss Naruto gave. "I love you, always." He spoke against the cold lips. His fangs descended as his eyes glowed. Kakashi surged forward.

"Sasuke," he began but the raven silenced him. He watched quietly as Sasuke leaned down and nuzzled the blonde's chest. He took a deep breath.

"I won't let you leave me just like that." Sasuke whispered. He closed his eyes and sunk his teeth in. Grasping onto the remaining life essence Naruto still had he cherished it for a minute. Then he slowly began drinking it in. It nourished his weak body giving him heated warmth of love. Faintly he felt a tingling like Naruto was wrapping his arms around him like he did every time. Many tears continued to fall as he took the last of his life essence. Pulling away he breathed out and watched Naruto grow paler.

"Wait for me. I'll find you." Sasuke released Naruto and pulled back. He turned around and scanned the room. Tsunade was still sobbing but she was dabbing her eyes trying to calm herself. Orochimaru was consoling her and Kakashi was looking at him. He turned to the closet where the girl most probably was still in. He walked over and opened it. He was right. She was still there but asleep. He grabbed her. Immediately she awoke and struggled. He threw her at Kakashi.

"Get rid of her." His voice was commanding. Kakashi did as he was told. He handed her off to a maid who proceeded with the order. Sasuke covered Naruto again and patted him. He walked away painfully. He gathered the three and waited for Tsunade to calm herself down.

"… Meet me in the meeting room." He said and walked out. The three walked closer together.

"Is he ok?" Orochimaru asked confused. First he's screaming and refusing to detach from Naruto. But the next second he's calm and acting indifferent.

"No he's not ok. Inside he's dead." Kakashi answered.

"But he's putting on a strong appearance… because he's King and we're his subjects." Tsunade finished. They bowed their heads in respect even though Sasuke wasn't there to see them. Tsunade called over a maid.

"Yes ma'am?" The maid bowed.

"Please, bring Naruto to the… morgue." Tsunade choked out.

"Yes ma'am." The maid straightened and wheeled Naruto out. The three followed afterwards and headed to the meeting room. But Sasuke wasn't there. They sat down anyway. They had a good idea where Sasuke was.

The raven walked down into the training grounds. The wide open field welcomed him silently. He reached out his arms and spun along with the wind. His tears dried out long ago. His mind focused on nothing but Naruto and their time together. The times they fought in this field. The times they picnicked out here. The times they simply were out here because they wanted to be. Crashing down onto the grass he looked up at the stars. Imagining Naruto beside him he smiled and chuckled a little. Then the tears started again but this time he shed them silently.

It finally dawned on him. He wasn't going to see Naruto again. Not for a long time. His chest constricted tightly and painfully. The thought of suicide passed by his mind. If he killed himself now he could see Naruto right away. They won't have to wait the hundreds of years to reconcile. He turned on his side and sighed. But Naruto wouldn't want that. He would slap Sasuke silly and find a way to kill him again for committing suicide. He wasn't ready to meet Naruto's wrath. Turning onto his side again Sasuke sat up. Rubbing his sore chest he looked up.

"Where are you now?" He asked the sky. Then he stood and walked back into the castle. It was quiet despite the fact that many of the servants were still working. They were silent and worked with their heads bowed. Word travelled fast. Everyone knew about Naruto's death. They bowed when Sasuke walked by and didn't immediately whisper behind his back. They remained quiet and silently sobbed and sniffled. He respected them for that. Mentally he thanked them as he walked to the meeting room. He pushed open the doors to find his most trusted three subjects sitting there with their heads bowed and eyes closed waiting for him. He closed the doors behind him and sat at the head of the table. They opened their eyes and looked at him.

"It's time we fought back." Sasuke smirked.

"Yes your majesty." They bowed with their right hands over their hearts.

A/N: Thank you for reading my story!

Ok, so I went on a temporary hiatus on this story. I'm sorry. After writing the last chapter I kind of lost it a little. But I'm back… I hope.

I know you all most definitely hate me more than you did last chapter. I didn't get much feedback and I hope I get a lot more for this chapter. I don't care if it's to vent your anger on me for killing Naruto. I want to hear your voices on the story. Just let it all out. I don't mind. I'm prepared for screaming and cursing and attempts on my life. *smiles* Come and get me!

See you all next time!

Bye Bye!
