Author Note: So much crap going on. School is almost over though. -Ilovetenten

Recap: So who was this man Naruto had just crossed paths with? None other than the infamous Fugaku Uchiha.

The first instinct that came over Naruto was to run. If his shaking body wasn't proof enough that he had to escape before he was severely punished, then he had a poor chance of survival in this cruel world.

Although all his senses screamed for him to retreat and flee, the young blond stayed, and stared up at the fierce looking Fugaku. The man was wearing a black suite with a white tie and undershirt. He had on a pair of leather dress shoes and seemed as if he had just gotten off of work seeing as his tie had been undone. The thing that surprised Naruto was this man resembled his master stature, height, hair, facial features, but the most distinct were his eyes. Those onyx colored orbs often possessing the coldness he saw in Sasuke, but intensified. While looking into them Naruto became even more fearful of what the man could do. Lost in his personal nightmare he was suddenly aware of a hand being snaked around his neck in a vice grip. Quickly struggling to get away, Naruto was too late. The hand was completely around his neck and wasn't letting up. Immediately the blond panicked and started to scratch at the hand that held him captive but that only resulted in his body being slammed into the wall on, a blood curtailing as a loose nail pierced through his back. It wasn't for a moment of constant shaking that Naruto realized that Fugaku had started to speak.

"Who, do you belong too?" His voice was cold, it also held a mixture of anger and dissatisfaction; probably because he was forced to punish an improper slave that was owned by someone else.

Naruto, who barely could breath tried gasping for air, but to no avail. As he went from a shade of red to blue Fugaku let him go, he hit the ground with a solid thud, and a crack echoed through the empty corridor as the last of his weight fell crushing his arm in the process.

"AHHH!" Naruto couldn't contain his scream as it escaped through his lips. He quickly bit them to the point of drawing blood as he saw Fugaku approach him again. The man raised up his foot and came into contact with Naruto's now broken arm. Trying hard to stifle his screams only a few escaped as the torment and abuse continued.

"Who, do you belong to?" You could hear the anger clearly now, no other emotion but that as he kicked Naruto in the ribs this time, smirking as he heard a sharp gasp come from the blond at the sound of another bone cracking.

With the best of his ability he finally responded with a mumble of Sasuke's name.

"What?" Fugaku yelled, obviously getting tired of kicking the blond, and resorted to grabbing his hair and making him face the older male.

"Sa-sa-Sasuke" Naruto bellowed out as tears began to form in his eyes. Why? What had he done to deserve such a life? He was a good person, but is this the way good people were treated? Naruto took another intake of breath as a fist collide with his face, and his head hit the ground.

"I'd thought my son would have you properly trained by now, but it seems that he has been slacking off." Fugaku stepped closer to the young blond, and picked up his head, spitting in his face.

"To think such a low life as you has the audacity to break something from the Uchiha Estate, and it seems you are trying to cover it up? His inquisitive tone held no tone for answering. In his mind he had already worked out what had been done as he looked at the shards of glass that surrounded Naruto's body.

As he stared at the shards a sick idea came into his mind. Sasuke wasn't the only that was demented in the head, his torture techniques came from Fugaku himself.

"Pick up a shard of glass."

Naruto looked up as the command left Fugaku's mouth. He searched across the floor at a piece that seemed to look less edged and picked it up. Knowing that whatever he had to do was going to be painful, Naruto mentally prepared himself for the worst.

As Fugaku opened his mouth to speak Naruto cringed at the sadistic smile placed upon the mans face, making it look distorted.

"Take the glass, and..."

XXBack to SasukeXX

Sasuke sat on his bed waiting for Naruto to return with the food, but was getting impatient. When he was alone he often evaluated his life and the decision he had made, but he didn't want to think about that at the moment which is why he couldn't wait for the blond to return.

With the thought of the blond's return on his mind, Sasuke started to think about the way he had treated him. He only abused him so much due to the fact that it was instilled within him to be cruel to people below him; slaves being the lowest. The boy in actuality was quite cute with his innocent demeanor and his lack of knowledge about most things common to people; he guessed they didn't teach much to the auctioned. The physical appearance of Naruto wasn't bad either, that blond hair that stuck out like the sun, his once cerulean clear blue eyes that competed with the purest oceans, now a dull blue that seemed to look more gray everyday. His body was pretty fit, slender with no muscle, unattractive to some, but perfect for Sasuke. He smiled at the thought of Naruto withering underneath him.

Sasuke was suddenly pulled out of his thoughts when he heard a horrific scream. He urgently got up recognizing it as Naruto's and followed it through the corridors. It took a moment and a series of less audio screams ,but he eventually found the blond, but he wasn't alone; he was with Sasuke's worse nightmare, his father. Surprisingly enough that wasn't what made Sasuke stomach constrict, it was what Naruto was doing to himself that made the young Uchiha sick.

"Stop!" he yelled, to his father, and at Naruto.

"Take the glass and peel the skin off your arm." Fugaku said this as if the task was an ordinary activity.

Naruto eyes went wide at the request. Although he had prepared himself this was something he couldn't have imagined. He already had a crushed arm, and maybe two broken ribs. He wasn't given time to think this over as Fugaku forced him to sit up right and begin the procedure.

With shaky hands Naruto brought the shard to the skin of his unusable arm and with one quick swoosh, sliced a thin piece of skin of his arm. Blood quickly started to pour out of the wound and Naruto's scream ripped through the air. The pain, although numb because his arm was broken still was tremendous.

"Keep going."

Naruto bit his lip and continued to slice pieces of his flesh with the shard of glass, covering himself with blood. The stench itself made Naruto sick to his stomach, and he was forcing himself not to vomit. As he gagged and kept slicing the pain become less noticeable, everything seemed to mesh together as he looked at Fugaku, the smile still plastered on his face. Naruto was starting to develop a headache as he constantly spaced out. He hadn't even realized that he was screaming with every mark placed on his body. He didn't know how far he had zoned out until he heard his voice, his master.

"Stop!"

Naruto looked toward Sasuke and whispered his name yet no one heard. The last thing he saw was Fugaku walk up to Sasuke and punch him, but not without Sasuke retaliating and attacking his own father. He saw them both hit the ground, and then the darkness engulfed him once more. Maybe this was it, maybe death had finally come to take Naruto away from this hell. He obviously lacked the instinct to survive, so he would flee into the darkness and hope light never showed itself again.
