Summery: ehhhh…..ummm….oh! As if his broken heart wasn't enough, the world seems determined to crush his body as well.

Story Starts
Naruto rolled onto his back and stared up at his ceiling. He'd had such trouble sleeping lately. It seems all he could think of was Sasuke…all tied up and miserable…it broke Naruto's heart. Nothing seemed to relieve his pain. Sure, Iruka helped a little, but Naruto knew that he would never feel better until he saw Sasuke again. He tenderly touched his heart. "Sasuke…"
Naruto saw a flash of light, as if it was reflected off glass and suddenly a hand was covering his mouth. Before he could even blink his hands were above his head and bound together. He gritted his teeth. Chakra ropes. A dark chuckle came from his attacker. "Hello, Naruto-kun."
Naruto growled. Kabuto. He bit down on his hand, hard as he could.(1)
Kabuto grimaced slightly. He quickly gagged Naruto before tying him up with real ropes. He then pulled a syringe out of the pouch on his leg. With an evil smirk, he twirled it in his fingers. "Do you know what this is, Naruto-kun? This is a very special tranquilizer I made especially for you." the tip of the needle punctured a vein in Naruto's arm. Soon his arm began to burn. "Does it hurt? I imagine it would." Kabuto spoke with a dark laugh. "The fox can't fight this, so you have no choice but to take it in."(2)
Naruto squirmed. It felt as if a fire was slowly crawling up his arm. His fists and jaw clenched. He let out a hiss of pain.
Kabuto watched Naruto suffer for a bit before the tranquilizer kicked in and he fell into a deep sleep. He threw our blond hero over his shoulder and climbed out the window, quickly disappearing into the night.
The Monster Goes RAWR
Sasuke looked up when he heard the door open. In walked Sakura with a considerably tan man behind her. Sasuke thought the man looked familiar, but couldn't place where he'd seen him.(3)
Sakura looked at him with a grim expression. She looked at the tan man and gestured to a chair in the corner of the room. "You can sit down, Iruka-sensei."
Sasuke's eyes widened slightly. Iruka-sensei? The school teacher? But why would he be here? Sasuke thought for a bit. He knew that he and Naruto had been expectantly close, but what would be the point of him being at Sasuke's interrogation.
Iruka nodded and sat down. His eyes didn't leave the floor.
Sakura took in a deep breath before speaking. "Sasuke, I have some bad news to tell you. Last night Naruto was taken from his home…and…" Her voice was starting to break. She swallowed. "A-A note was left on his dresser, and we thought you should hear what it says." She pulled a folded piece of paper out of her pocket and began to read it aloud, her voice cracking at points. "We have taken Naruto and will proceed to torture him for five days. If Sasuke is not released by the sixth day we will be forced to release it. Signed, Orochimaru."
Sasuke tensed slightly before relaxing his body again. No, he couldn't show emotion. He couldn't show he cared. He scowled. "Yeah? And what does that have to do with me?"
SLAP!!! (4)
Sasuke's head jerked to the side with the force of the blow so hard he felt tears sting his eyes. He looked at the one who hit him in pure shock. Sakura gasped. "I-Iruka-sensei!"
Iruka let his hand drop. His chest heaved slightly as he glared at Sasuke. "That's all you have to say? You don't care about him at all?" he grabbed the front of Sasuke's shirt and jerked him up, still tied to the chair. "You know what I don't get? How the hell a great kid like Naruto can love someone like you so much. All he wants is to be with you! He's tearing himself up over you! He cries over you! And yet you can't even spare a single word for him?! Not one tear?!"
Sasuke simply stared at him.
Iruka growled and dropped him. "I guess telling you was a mistake. I just figured the man who supposedly loved Naruto would want to know. But seeing as you don't care—"
"Shut up!" Sasuke shouted. "Say whatever you want about me, I really don't give a damn, but don't you dare say I don't love him! He means more to me than you will ever know! It's killing me just not being able to see him, and now that I find he's going to be tortured…" he looked away. "I'd do anything to get him back."
Sakura stepped forward. "Then tell us where Orochimaru is hiding. If we knew we could send in rescue squads! We could get Naruto back!"
Sasuke shook his head. "No, you can't get past Orochimaru's guards. It would be a waste of lives."
"Then how about you make a deal with us?" Iruka proposed.
"A deal?"
The Monster Goes RAWR
Searing pain shot through Naruto's body and he fought back a scream. The pain lasted a few minutes before subsiding, giving him a chance to breath. He took in a ragged breath. "Uhhh…" he groaned pathetically.
"Not so tough, are you, Naruto-kun?" Kabuto asked, running his thumb over the edge of a kunai. "Well, you can rest for a bit. We need to let the fox heal your wounds before we start again."
Naruto glared. "Why are you doing this?"
"We have to stay true to our word." He cupped Naruto's chin in his hand. "Nothing but this for the next five days."
Naruto smirked. "Bring it on. I'm gonna be Hokage, and a Hokage can take anything."(5)
The End
(1) poor Kabuto….yes, I am a Kabuto fangirl and proud. (2) Don't anyone dare say a word. I don't want anyone to start the whole 'nothing can knock out Kyuubi' crap. It works for my story. (3) Forgetful dork. (4) Slap…slap…slap…ECHO…echo…echo… (5) Yeah! Go Naruto!
