Disclaimer: I do not own anything relating to Naruto except a Sasuke plushie that I BOUGHT WITH THE MONEY I EARNED! But with the main series and stuff? Forget about it.

Authors note: Third chapter up! I'm so happy! -hugs self- And I am glad that there are some people who enjoy this story, even after the whole tentacle rape thing X3. But I do want to make this a better story, though I will have to make Sasuke suffer :_( I hate to do it, I WUV HIM! But I will make him have a happy ending! Unless I think of some other way to end this story then what I have already. And to one particular comment, OROCHIMARU ISN'T A PEDOPHILE IN THIS STORY! I know it is a shock, but it's true, he won't do anything bad to my Sasu-kun in this story, he has him enough in the real series! Anyways, while I'm obsessing please read and comment on this chapter!

Sasuke opened his eyes and he was in a dark space, other than the fact he could see the dark grey floor underneath him he would have thought he was in a dark room somewhere. Orochimaru was standing only about a foot from him grinning.

"Where the hell are we?" Sasuke said, goosebumps shivering up his arms and legs for no apparent reason.

"This is commonly called the Between. It is a sliver of space in between the human and demon realms. And, it is traditionally the place where deals take place unless it is impossible to do so, an example is that you were to injured to be moved, so Itachi stopped time and healed, and Naruto carried out his side of the deal here." Orochimaru explained.

"Staying with him forever, right?" Sasuke muttered.

"Actually, all demons must give the humans a sporting chance, it is the only way to make it an official deal. Yoursis simple, say the word and all this will end. Naruto's was...unfortunately not as simple. It is a fairly gruesome subject what Itachi did to him and I'd rather now get into it." Orochimaru said with an in unusual look on his face.

"What do you mean 'Gruesome'?" Sasuke said, the worry in his voice apparent.

"Are you sure you want to know? I don't think you could handle it, and I won't try and sugar coat it." Sasuke nodded, knowing he would regret it. But he had to know what extents Naruto actually did to save his life.

"He essentially took the one thing that made him innocent, his innocence." Sasuke's face went completely pale. "He raped him, to say it in simplier terms. Naruto didn't know it would happen so soon, but the deal was your life for his body and soul, and that is one way to get the body half of the deal. As for the soul, every memory Naruto had of the human world was completely erased. He can still talk and stuff, and he knows about the world. But he doesn't remember where he lived, who his family was...who he was in love with."

Sasuke put his head down, his hands in fists and his fingernails almost causing him to start bleeding. He didn't believe Naruto loved him that much, that Sasuke was such an idiot that he didn't even notice! If that stupid blonde would have even nudged in that direction that he had feelings Sasuke would have been relieved! He loved Naruto to! Sasuke thought it was just a crush and had mostly buried it, but a part of him always loved the hyper-active ramen-addicted friend of his.

"H...he did that for me? Why, why would he be so stupid?!" He yelled, grabbing at the back of his head and kneeling down.

"He loved you and didn't think you loved him back. If anything this is a sort of release for him, he sacrificed out of the name of love, and now doesn't have to suffer to know if you would have rejected him or not." Orochimaru said, answering even though it was a rhetorical question.

"I loved him to! And why, there are plenty of other people in the world he could have fallen in love with." Sasuke yelled.

"You didn't show you loved him back, and he wasn't in love with 'those other people in the world' he was in love with you! Now are you going to sit here feeling sorry for yourself, or are you going to rescue him?!" Orochimaru said, standing right over Sasuke.

Both of them were still for a moment, but then Sasuke stood up, a determined look in his eyes. "I'll do it." Suddenly there was a sharp pain in his neck for only a second and then it was replaced by a numbness.

"You now have demon blood in you, as far as the cosmic law is concerned the deal between Naruto Uzumaki and Lord Itachi is void because your soul is no longer human enough to be in the balance. Now the problem is getting Naruto. As far as they are concerned, the deal still holds and Naruto has no memory of his past. You will have to break the seal. It should be something simple, like a necklace of a ring, something solid. Destroy it and he'll get his memory back, and then he'll be able to go home and you'll get your happily ever after."

"So, how do I go about finding it? It's not like I can walk up and ask someone who doesn't even remember me for something I don't even know what it is?" Sasuke said, rubbing his still numb neck.

"The Demon Lords use humans as servants. So all you have to do is go in and act like you were a gift from the Snake Demons. A brand new servant. They may be a little suspicious, but the demon blood is hidden so you will seem like a normal human."

"But won't Itachi remember me? That's kind of a big risk."

"Demons don't remember human faces very well, especially ones who were marred beyond recognition. You'll be safe. Now, there is a party. It is imperative you get close to Naruto, with any luck a small memory or feeling will slip through and he will become interested in you. Then, just do whatever you have to do." Orochimaru said, waving his hand and a new portal opened. "After you." The pale man said, bowing. Sasuke frowned and quickly walked forward, into the demon realm.
