"Speech"

"Thoughts"

Chapter seven: Tense talks

Kakashi had left a while ago. What he'd seen in that washroom had been too much. He left the club without a word to any of his friends and got in his car, stepping on the accelerator as quick as possible. It started to rain heavily. Kakashi smiled sadly when the most accurate song started to play on the radio.

"I remember years ago
Someone told me I should take
Caution when it comes to love
I did.
And you were strong and I was not
My illusion, my mistake
I was careless I forgot
I did."

"Even the radio knows the song to play in times like this." The man held the steering wheel with as much strength as he had. "All my scars are open, tell them what I hoped would be impossible…" Kakashi couldn't help but sing along, feeling the song deep down in his heart. He could not find more accurate lyrics to what he was feeling. A dagger to his heart wouldn't hurt this much. Not even close. At least, a dagger to his heart would give a quick death, with far less pain. As it wasn't, he just had to keep on living. Living with it. With the fact that he could do nothing but stare when seeing the disgusting snake man taking Sasuke away from him.

"Taking him away from me? When was Sasuke mine, really?" Kakashi asked himself. Immediately, a voice answered, from the back of his head. "He wasn't yours cause you were too afraid to step in and claim him. That's what you get when you're such a sissy. Fear's only good to hold you down. It's like an invisible chain, locked tight around you. Free yourself of that shit and go get what you think should be yours."

Sasuke POV On

When I woke up the next day, I felt like dying. My head was really heavy, my stomach wasn't amused either and my ass was burning.

"What the hell happened? How did I get here?" I thought, touching my forehead. I wasn't feverish, thank god. Once I stepped out of bed and stood, reality hit me really hard. "What have I done?"

I started to remember the previous night. Sadly, memories came up like a video, a very vivid video, playing inside my head. Words can't describe how disgusted I felt when I remembered it all. How the fuck did I fuck with the snake?! How?! I was completely drunk and out of my mind, that's how! I couldn't help it and started crying right there. I totally looked like a crybaby. I cried and screamed, in agony.

"Fuck! Why! Damn! Han…" Sobs were now louder. Crying was no good to my head, it only made it worse. But there was no way I'd stop. I felt dirty. And that kind of dirtiness wouldn't go away with water. It hadn't even been rape. I had agreed with it. I'd let him touch me. I'd even asked for it!

Took me a great amount of time to get on my feet. Hours, maybe? No one disturbed me and for that I was grateful. Naruto called me, worried. I asked him to come over, which he accepted without hesitation. He was the only one I wanted to see at the moment. I wouldn't accept anyone else. The house was in complete silence. Apparently no one else was there.

"Arigatou…" I muttered and hang up, going to take a shower. It didn't wash off. Not with water, not with soap. I scrubbed my body really hard. I didn't want any memory of ever being touched by that man. – "Damn… Why don't you wash off, fuck! Ahhh!" I only got out of the shower because I heard the doorbell. Otherwise I would have just stood there and wash myself until satisfied. Grabbed my bathrobe and went downstairs to open the door. Naruto got in without asking. Didn't need.

"What happened? S-Sasuke…" He must have noticed the empty look on my face. I could see tears forming in his eyes. "T-Tell me!"

"Naruto… Don't cry… Please… You will only make me feel worse…" I covered my mouth to suppress all the sobbing.

"S-Sure… I didn't mean to… It's just that I don't like to see you like that… I was so worried… Well, I still am, after seeing you like this… Yesterday you vanished without a trace and…"

"I was… with Orochimaru…"

"You were? How so?"

My gaze lowered. I was so ashamed of what I'd done. My pride had been crushed. And pride is a great deal to the Uchiha.

"Oh my!" Naruto had a shocked look on his face. Shocked and horrified. "Did he rape you? Did that bastard rape you?!"

"No… It wasn't like that… But let's not talk about it now… Come, let's go to my room. I need to get dressed."

Naruto stayed with me until late in the night. He was a really precious friend to me. One I could count on no matter what. And he knew it very well he could always count on me too. I went downstairs with the blondie, taking him to the door. I was about to open it, but someone opened it first. It was Kakashi. God, he looked awful! Even worse than I looked when I had awaken.

"Hi…" He muttered and passed through us, towards the stairs.

"Is everything alright, Kakashi-sensei?" Naruto had that worried look on his face. Again. Kakashi sighed and smiled at us, his eye curved as usual.

"Hai. Nothing to worry about." And went to the room he shared with Itachi or whatever without further addition.

"Well… Thanks for coming, Naruto. Really."

"He looks everything but alright, Sasuke. I'd talk with him, if I were you."

"Perhaps. Thanks, Naruto."

"Whenever. You're gonna be alright. I know how strong you are."

I gave him a huge hug and caressed his hair, before he was gone. I sighed and wondered if it wouldn't be better if I went check on Kakashi. Took me time to make up my mind. It was just that it felt awkward to talk to him now. I'd been thinking that since their marriage announcement. Serpents in my mind, that's what. I went to meet him in the room. Itachi was out, thank god.

"May I?"

He gazed at me, looking surprised, but nodded. I entered and sat near him on the bed.

"So, you wanna talk about what happened? You know you may think I'm just a kid, but… Well, I don't like to see you like that. And call me paranoid, but I really think something's up."

"You got me." He took off his mask. His usually handsome and sort of bright face was now lifeless and he even had dark circles. His eyes had also zero brightness and life in them. "I don't expect you to understand this, since you're still young. But… I think even a boy so young can understand a bit of what it feels like to see the one you love with someone else."

"I understand it at its full, you know? I don't understand only a bit. I've been through it, whether you believe it or not." I felt like punching him, for some reason.

"How? You've never been in love now, have you?"

"I am in love, Kakashi. And I know it very well what it's like to see your loved one fucking another. Believe me, I do. I wish I didn't. It sucks life out of you and you may end up doing stuff you'll end up regretting later… Just like what happened to me…" I stopped to take a deep breath. Wow, that was kind of unexpected. I was not one to put my feelings out like that. But I felt so at ease near him… Damn, I wish I could hug him… I was needing a hug too. It wouldn't be a problem, would it? He was going to be like a nii-san to me, anyways. I gazed at him. He gazed back.

"Ah, I see… Things you regret doing later…" He chuckled and looked even sadder. Did I do something wrong? "Well, thank you for wanting to help me. Really. It just didn't help much, though."

I stood up, staring with disbelief. Was he serious? Am I that bad with feelings and all? Perhaps I should have put more effort in it.

"I-I'm sorry… I really wanted to help... Er… I hope you cheer up soon… Perhaps my… my brother can do that…" I swallowed hard, having the most bewildered expression on my pretty face. I'd never thought he was this unfriendly and cold. Or maybe he just didn't like me, I don't know. I left for my room and laid on my bed, wanting to disappear.

The next day wasn't any better. Fortunately, I didn't have classes with Orochimaru on Mondays. But the wonder man didn't show up at six. I waited half an hour and nothing. Same on Tuesday. And on Wednesday and on Thursday and also on Friday. My life couldn't get any worse! Well, not really. You know that Murphy law? The 'anything that can possibly go wrong, does' thing? I was totally expecting things to get even worse, just to be on the safe side. Like Orochimaru giving me suspicious looks during class time. And stalking me. Yeah, didn't matter how sneaky he tried to be, I knew he was stalking me. I just ran, but I couldn't even run to wonder man's arms, sadly. His sudden disappearance from my routine had kind of a colossal bad effect on me. If I was trying to recover from the little incident aka 'stupidity on my behalf' that had happened with Orochimaru, the fact that I wouldn't be receiving any fondness from my man didn't help AT ALL. No, it was not about the sex, it wasn't the sex what I was missing. But the caresses that came with it. His hugs and his kisses. I had turned into quite an emotional person, it seemed.

Kakashi POV On

My life was shitty. Apparently, that's what love does to your life when it goes wrong. I mean, when you fall for the wrong person. I should have known better that Sasuke wasn't exactly a good idea. A student is never a good idea. I had never been in love before, so that might have been the reason why I wasn't able to deal with the situation I was in. I had always seen people be broken by love, but I'd never actually experienced it by myself. I was finding it quite difficult, to be honest, even though it was getting slightly better by the day. I had been really harsh towards Sasuke and it hadn't been his fault. I mean, he didn't know about it. He was just living his life. Though it hurt like hell when he said he ended up doing things he had later regretted. Didn't seem he really regretted it, given the fact that he went to the bathroom every single day of the week to have sex with me. That doesn't look like an attitude of someone that regrets it. Coming again and again and again to get what they regret of, day after day. When he said that, I felt anger. I wanted to pick him up, pin him against a fucking wall and rape him as hard as I could, asking him how much did regret hurt.

One thing was Sasuke. He was a child and all. Orochimaru, on the other hand, was a completely different story. I never liked him. Since day one. On that Friday, it was around six and I was on my classroom, reading a book. I had sent my students home earlier, cause I'm a fucking cool teacher and it was Friday and also cause they had scored amazing in their tests.

"Not paying any visits to Sasuke-kun this week, Kakashi-kun?" A very distinctive voice said, coming from the end of the classroom. I narrowed my eyes.

"Was that supposed to ring a bell, Orochimaru-sensei?" I closed the book I was reading and stood up, facing him. He was already near me, with that disgusting smile of his dancing on his lips.

"No need to play games with me, Kakashi-kun. You know very well you can't fool me. I know."

"Oh yeah? And what about it? It's none of your business whether I pay him visits or not. Or is it?" I said, defiantly.

He didn't seem to relish my tone, judging by the look on his face. Well, too bad, cause I didn't live up to please him.

"It kind of is, Kakashi-kun… You see, I have this interest for him and-"

"I know, I saw you two fucking the other night. I wonder what kind of weird thing you put on his drink…"

"Unlike others, I don't have to blindfold Sasuke-kun to make him mine. He did what he did with me totally, completely willingly." He whispered into my ear, licking it after it. I looked down, knowing that what he was saying was true, about the blindfold and all. Given the fact that I had never been in love with someone before, and even though I was really popular and it was really easy for me to have someone on my bed for a one night stand, I wasn't exactly overflowing with confidence. I was afraid of rejection.

"What are you doing here, really? What do you want?" I asked, shoving him away violently. "Get the hell out!"

He laughed. He fucking laughed in my face. I clenched my fist. The snake seemed to realize it, cause he raised his hands, surrendering.

"I'm going, I'm going… Just remember whose property he is now." He hissed before leaving.

"Fuck! God dammit!" I hit the wall with my dry fist, not caring about the pain. Grabbed my stuff and quickly left. And what happened before I reached the school exit? A wild, sad looking Sasuke appears. Coming from the bathroom.

"Kakashi?" He stared at me, quickly wiping his eyes. I raised an inquiring eyebrow.

"Have you been crying?" I asked, already knowing the answer. I just wanted him to talk.

"No, no. It's just that something got into my eye, but it's fine already." He blinked a few times. Nice try.

"I see. What about those?" I pointed to his hands. He had the blindfold and the handcuffs that I knew so well. Suddenly, I felt rage kicking in. Had he been using those with that son of a bitch?! "Are they for a schoolwork?"

"Of course not, they're-"

"Are they to use with your boyfriend?" I clenched my right fist and let the anger emerge and feed my killing intent.

"What? No! What boyfriend are you talking about?" He raised an eyebrow and looked offended. "Have you been drinking, sensei? No, seriously. What is this? Judicial interrogation?"

"No, sorry, I didn't mean to offend you or something." I took a deep breath and calmed down. He didn't look like he was lying. Why was he crying anyway?

"Whatever. Are you going to my house?" Sasuke put the blindfold and the handcuffs inside his bag.

"Yeah. Why?"

"Can you give me a ride?"

"I don't think that's a good idea."

"What?" He stared at me in disbelief, with a half-smile in his lips.

"Orochimaru just came to me and said to leave you alone and to remember whose property you're now." I gave it straight to him. Sasuke said nothing. He was as white as a sheet. I started to feel worried about him. That concern doubled when I saw he wasn't there anymore and his face was now sweaty.

"Hey, Sasuke!" I called, shaking him by his shoulders. "Sasuke!"

"What does he have to do with us? Is he my mom now?! Fuck him! What the hell does he want?!" He snapped at me, releasing himself from my hold.

"Stop!" I grabbed him by his wrist and dragged him all the way to my card. Shoved him in my car and drive home, as fast as possible. He started to cry midway. But it wasn't a hysterical whine. Sasuke was keeping it to himself. But I'd get him to talk to me about what was going on once we arrived home.

That's it for now o/ The song Impossible (James Arthur cover) has been inspiring me a lot while writing this fanfiction and I've been kind of addicted to it, lately. See ya soon!
