Warning: This chapter contains rape… poor Naru-chan (please don't hate me, it gets better later in the story!! Honest!!)

Chapter three:

---------

Sasuke yawned loudly and looked at the clock. Damn, he thought, time to get up. He rubbed his eyes, trying to wake up, but failing miserably. Oh, how he hated Mondays. The one day he hated the most. He stretched and got out of bed, going into the bathroom for a shower. He came back into his room and got dressed quickly.

He exited the room and went downstairs into the kitchen. He saw Itachi already there talking quietly with Fuguko. Sasuke ignored them and went about eating his breakfast. From the way those two were talking, it was important, and Sasuke just couldn't resist.

"So you got the warrant now have you?" His father asked.

"Yes. And what's even better is that the dealer is going over his informant's house on Friday, so we'll do the raid then so we can get both of them."

"Sounds like a plan."

"Hn"

"What is the name of the informant?"

"Iwao, I think. You know him don't you?"

"Yes, he works in the police force. Not the nicest people around."

"That's why he needs to be behind bars."

Sasuke frowned and then shrugged it off. He finished eating and grabbed his bag.

"Aniki, I'm ready!"

Itachi nodded and they walked out of the house towards the car, getting in. Sasuke and Itachi didn't speak; they rarely did as they had nothing to say to each other. Sasuke was jealous of Itachi as the elder was head of department at the age of 22years. Sasuke gritted his teeth, determined to beat his brother and show his parents that he was better then Itachi. Sasuke's thoughts then went to Naruto, and he wondered if the blonde was alright. He didn't seem himself when he and Naruto met on the Friday. He remembered catching a glimpse of some strange burn marks on his neck and was wondering who had done that to him. He clenched his fist, suddenly feeling protective. He then shook his head, trying to order his chaotic thoughts.

"Sasuke, for the tenth time, we're here."

Sasuke jumped and spun to glare at his brother, who looked amused. Sasuke narrowed his eyes and hissed,

"Shut up."

"My, my, someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed today… did you bump your head?"

"I said, shut up."

Itachi smirked and said,

"Get out, I need to get to work you know."

Sasuke gave his brother one more glare and stormed out of the car and, surprise surprise, he managed to walk into someone. He fell backwards and looked over at the person he had walked into and blinked. It was Naruto. Naruto glared at Sasuke, his pinkish lips in a pout. Sasuke had the sudden urge to kiss him senseless, though he managed not to, somehow. He stood and held out a hand. Naruto blinked, staring at the hand suspiciously. Sasuke sighed,

"Are you gonna take it or not. I'll leave you there on the floor if you want…dobe."

Naruto growled and stood up quickly, brushing himself off. Then Sasuke saw a particularly large bruise on the blonde's cheek, and frowned.

"Where'd you get that bruise?"

Naruto looked away and mumbled something.

"What? I didn't hear you."

"I got into a fight."

Sasuke raised an elegant eyebrow, but didn't say anything.

"Sasuke-kuuuuun!"

Both males flinched at the sound coming from that… thing.

Sasuke jumped out of the way and stood next to Naruto as the pink thing, who had made to jump on him fell on the ground.

"Eh? Sasuke-kun, where did you go?"

Naruto snorted at the stupid sounding sentence and Sakura immediately focused her attention on him. She stood up and glared at the poor blonde,

"What are you doing annoying my Sasuke-kun? Go away; no one likes you so you should just go and die."

Sasuke noticed the pain flash in Naruto's eyes and he just snapped. He reached out and grabbed Sakura in a vice grip, glaring daggers at her. She looked at him, confused.

"You stupid bitch. Leave him alone. He hasn't done anything to you and you treat him worse then shit. You are the one that deserves to die. You have no talent and you're ugly. You make me sick, you slut. Now, piss off and leave me and him alone. Get that?"

And with that he turned around and walked off, but not before grabbing the confused Naruto's arm. He led the blonde into the school to their first lesson, only then did he let go of Naruto. He stood outside the door, as the bell hadn't gone yet, swearing.

"Sasuke, why did you do that?" Naruto asked, his confusion evident in his voice. Sasuke snapped to attention and inwardly cursed for the slip. He turned to look at the smaller boy and smirked, saying,

"Thank you."

"Eh?"

"I've been waiting to do that to the bitch, and you gave me the opportunity."

Naruto blinked and then scowled.

"Hello, boys, what are doing here?" Asked Jiraiya as he appeared to start his lesson. Naruto shrugged and said,

"Sasuke had a fight with a 'friend'"

Sasuke snorted and whispered,

"More like had a go at a slut who doesn't know her place."

Jiraiya scowled, evidently hearing this. What Sasuke did not add was the fact that when Sakura yelled at Naruto and that one little thing made him livid. There was no way that he was going to let anyone hurt his Naru-chan.

Jiraiya opened the door to let them in before he himself went in. He put the books he was carrying onto his desk and then took a long look at Naruto, who had just taken his seat at the back of the class. Sasuke heard him mumble something and walk out, saying,

"I need to go do something quickly. Behave!"

Sasuke frowned and then looked over at the quiet boy doodling on his science book. Sasuke walked over and saw what he was drawing. It was a bleeding heart with various knives and crosses impaling it. The blood was running down the heart and dripping onto a blood soaked floor.

"That's good."

Naruto jumped and looked up at Sasuke, who was staring at the drawing. Naruto, Sasuke noticed, was blushing slightly and smirked slightly.

"I-it's nothing."

"Hmm."

Just then, Neji walked in and blinked at the sight of the two rivals talking to each other. Sasuke looked up and said mildly,

"Hello, Neji."

Neji raised an eyebrow and walked over. Naruto eyed him warily. Neji nodded slightly at Naruto and then turned to Sasuke, his normally emotionless eyes filled with amusement.

"What did you say to Sakura? She's in the toilet crying her eyes out and mumbling something about 'Her Sasuke-kun being stolen'. What happened?"

Sasuke laughed and said,

"It was quite funny really. I got here and accidentally ran into Naruto here. She came along and tried to jump on me, but I moved out of the way. And, anyway, long story short, she started yelling at him and saying that he should die. I took that excuse to have a real good go at her… and boy did it feel good."

Neji blinked and then chuckled.

Just the, Jiraiya walked in, frowning as the bell went. Sasuke and Neji went over and sat in their usual places, though Sasuke didn't want to leave the blonde alone. He looked at the door and chuckled darkly. Sakura came in, her cheeks red and dark stains under her eyes from her make-up. Ino had her arm around the pink thing, though Sasuke could see her smug expression.

This made Sasuke scowl slightly, knowing that Ino would properly try her luck on him… fat chance.

He looked aver at Naruto, who was still doodling on his book, not paying attention to anyone, and his scowl deepened when he saw that no one wanted to sit near him. Sasuke felt that pang of guilt again. He then turned his attention to the crying witch, who was surrounded by girls all looking concerned, but you could practically hear them thinking about how they were going to get him.

He sighed, wondering when this day was going to end.

----------

Naruto yawned, feeling tired. His father had had some friends over the night before and they drank all through the night. Naruto had rather wisely pushed his desk in front of the door, hoping that it would keep his father out if he got bored. And Naruto didn't get any sleep either as they made so much noise. Naruto leaned against the wall he was seated at. He had found a spot were not many students went, so no one was bound to find him here. He closed his eyes and could feel himself falling asleep. He snapped his eyes opened and frowned.

"Damnit, Sasuke, are you stalking me or something."

"Ah, sorry. I was hoping to find out the person that you have so many fights with. Everyday I see you with some kind of new injury."

Naruto frowned. That was true. It was Friday now and Naruto was surprised that he had survived. His father was becoming more abusive by the day, and Naruto was really starting to get worried about his own safety. He was then aware of Sasuke sitting in front of him, and felt confused.

"Why are you here with me? Why don't you go back to those snobby friends of yours?"

Sasuke tilted his head to the side slightly and then his lips twitched in a small smile. Naruto was surprised. He was so used to seeing Sasuke smirk that he didn't think that the raven haired teen knew how to smile. It brought back memories of their early life, something Naruto craved for so much. Back when he had a friend and a loving father. But that was gone now, and he had nothing. He looked Sasuke in the eyes and said mockingly,

"Wow, you do know how to smile, and here I thought that you were a stuck up bastard that smirked at everyone."

Sasuke frowned lightly and then shrugged, but didn't say anything.

They sat in silence for a while and then the bell went. Naruto stood up slowly since he had a recent bruise on his lower back that was painful if he moved in the wrong way. He picked up his bag and walked off, feeling Sasuke's eyes on him. He gave the boy the cold shoulder and ignored him, although Sasuke was walking beside him.

The end of the day came rather quickly, a little too quickly for Naruto's liking. He sighed, making his way home. For some reason he had the feeling that something was going to happen tonight, something that was not good.

------------

Sasuke narrowed his eyes at his brother. Something was up with him. Itachi had a permanent frown on his face.

"Nervous about the raid, Aniki?"

"…No…"

"Then why are so restless?"

"I have a feeling that we will find something unpleasant during the raid…"

Sasuke frowned. It was rare that Itachi had this kind of feeling about a raid… and when he did, something always happened.

"Hn." Sasuke said, stood up and walked out of the living room. It was almost time for Itachi to go to the police station and get him comrades. The dealer was going over his informant's house around ten. It was now nine.

------------

Naruto yawned. He was woken up by the sound of his father, thumping around in the kitchen. He sat up, rubbing his eyes, feeling confused. He looked at the alarm. 9:30. Damn. He was about to go back to sleep when the bedroom door opened and his father stumbled in. Dread filled Naruto. He then saw that the man was carrying something. It glinted in the light that was coming through the thin curtains. A knife. Naruto fearfully backed up against the wall. The man reached him and sneered. Naruto could smell the pungent smell of alcohol around him. His father grabbed a handful of his hair.

"Let go!" Naruto cried desperately, struggling against the man's strong grip. He snarled and then slammed Naruto's head against the wall. Naruto stopped struggling, stunned. The man took the chance and removed Naruto's clothing.

When Naruto come to, he realised that he was lying naked. He tried to struggle, but stopped when something cut his stomach. He yelped and said,

"Please! S-stop it!"

"No." The words were slurred. The words of a drunken man.

The man sneered at him and continued to place long deep cuts all over him, all except the face. He ignored Naruto's pleas and yelp of pain. But the yelps started to get o his nerves. He took the sock off his foot and stuffed it in Naruto's mouth. Naruto struggled, trying to get it out of his mouth, but the man slapped him extremely hard around the face, stunning him for the second.

The man smirked and turned him over, tying his wrists together with the pillow case. He smirked and climbed on top of the helpless boy, and continued to make deep slashes on his back, ignoring the muffled screams of pain.

He grabbed a hand full of hair and whispered viciously in his ear,

"You know. You look like a girl. Maybe I should treat you like one, hmm?"

Naruto struggled, ignoring the pain from his many deep wounds. He could hear the man moving above him, though Naruto couldn't see what he was doing.

He then screamed as something was roughly pushed deep inside him. The man grabbed his hair and pushed his face into the mattress, suffocating him.

"Shut up and let me have my fun, you little whore."

Naruto screamed and clawed at the mattress as the man roughly thrusted into him. Naruto felt as if he was dying, being ripped in two. Tears flowed from his eyes as he was unable to stop them. This was the worst thing that his father had ever done to him. Worse then all those punches, worse then the name calling and worse then the whipping and cutting.

The man gave one final thrust and released into him with a grunt. Naruto lay there, crying and bleeding. His father pulled out and said,

"That's what you deserve, you piece of shit." They then were aware of a knocking at the front door. The man growled and said,

"I'll be back later, shithead." And with that, he threw the duvet over Naruto and left the room. Naruto continued to cry for a while and then he fell into a deep nightmare filled sleep.

----------

Spike scowled. He had been knocking on the door for the last ten minutes. He was a little early, granted, but Iwao said that he was going to be home all evening. The door then opened and Spike growled.

"About fucking time." Iwao sneered and said,

"I was punishing the boy."

Spike growled again and demanded,

"Let me in."

Iwao opened the door wider and let the dealer inside. What they failed to notice was a dark haired figure glaring at them. The figure smirked and lifted a radio to his lips, saying,

"Targets are in position, over."

"Confirmed. Ready? over."

"Yes, over."
