Chapter 6

A groan was heard from the bed as Sasuke was waking up. He groaned again and rubbed his head as he slowly opened his eyes and stared into the light. He closed his eyes again, hoping the headache would go away. He was now wondering what had happened, then his memory slowly came back. The guys, the beating up...Neji. Shit. Neji. Sasuke shot up, but groaned again and grabbed to his stomach. It still hurt.

"Shh.. watch out." Neji, who was sitting next to Sasuke's bed, said. He had been sitting with Sasuke the whole time, and had wiped away all the blood on Sasuke's nose and body, and cleaned everything. "..Relax.." He softly said.

Sasuke groaned again as he laid back down and then opened his eyes to look at Neji worried. "..Are you OK?" Sasuke softly asked, his voice hoarse.

Neji nodded as he looked back at Sasuke.

"I'm fine." He said. He seemed OK, but something was off. Neji had exactly the same expression in his eyes as when Sasuke arrived. Full of emotion, without emotion at all.

"You're not fine." Sasuke said. He just knew Neji wasn't. "..What can I do to make you feel better Neji? I'd do anything...Goddammit, it's my fault this happened." Sasuke said and groaned again. It felt like his stomach was just turned upside down and inside out.

Neji shook his head.

"I'm fine." Neji said. "You're not fine. Lay down Sasuke.."

"No.. Neji come on, you're not fine. It's your birthday...What did they do? I know they.. they did it to you didn't they?" Sasuke softly asked. It hurt talking louder.

"..Sasuke.. just rest." Neji said with a small sigh. "..It's you which it's about now OK. I'm absolutely fine."

"You are not!" Sasuke yelled but then started coughing and faced away from Neji. He knew he wasn't fine either, but getting beaten up was not even half as bad as what had happened to Neji.

Neji frowned, concerned, as he pushed Sasuke back on his back again, and pulled him up a little, so he could cough better.

Sasuke grabbed Neji's shoulder now and breathed in once he finally stopped coughing. He then looked at Neji. "..You're not fine.. Why don't you just say what I have to do to make it up to you..?" Sasuke asked, softly now.

"..You never did something wrong Sasuke." Neji said as he looked back. He carefully laid Sasuke down again.

"..It's my fault it happened to you.. Please.. Just tell me what you need.." Sasuke softly said.

"..Nothing.." Neji muttered. "..Do you want to drink some water? I managed to get a plastic cup with me.."

"..I want you to tell me what you need to feel better.." Sasuke said stubborn.

"..Let me know what you need so I can sleep afterward." Neji snapped all of a sudden, looking angry. But there was a huge amount of sadness to be found in his eyes.

"..I just feel guilty." Sasuke said and looked at Neji stern. "I want you to feel better."

"You're more important now, you're wounded." Neji said. "Badly."

"I don't care." Sasuke said. He then sighed. "Just go to sleep then." He said, dissapointed that he just couldn't get Neji to feel better at all.

Neji looked at Sasuke now and then looked away, as he stood. Then he walked, or rather stumbled, towards his bed. He really needed to lay down now.

Sasuke looked at Neji and then felt a sting as he saw the back of Neji's overall was covered in blood. Neji really didn't deserve this. And Sasuke felt like such a bad person for not being able to cheer Neji up even a little. He turned his face away from Neji now.

Neji now laid down onto his bed, with a moan, and curled up, pulling the covers over him. He felt really bad for not accepting any help from Sasuke. But he just couldn't.. Sasuke was wounded more then enough himself already.

Some time later, Neji woke up at hearing the sound of the lunch bell. He felt a sharp pain in his entrance, and then he heard the sound of someone.. throwing up. He opened his eyes and then saw Sasuke throwing up into the toilet.

"..Sasuke.." He softly said as he pushed himself up. He doubted for a second, and then he got off the bed with a lot of difficulty, and walked towards Sasuke.

Sasuke coughed a little and took a deep breath, then threw up again. He waved at Neji to stay away. Neji shouldn't be taking care of him. He could do it himself.

Neji frowned.

"...You should come and get some lunch." Neji said, as he stroke Sasuke's back. Poor Sasuke.

Sasuke shook his head and then threw up again. Once it was over, or at least he hoped it was over, he wiped his mouth and held onto the toilet. "..I'm.. n-not feeling so.. good.." He breathed out.

"..I know.." Neji softly said. "..But you should come, else the guards will hurt you even more.." He kept stroking Sasuke's back.

"..Just g-go.." Sasuke said. He didn't want Neji to take care of him. Neji had to take care of himself first.

"..Sasuke come with me.." Neji said. "..If you're going to stay here, I'm going to stay as well."

"..N-no.. Dammit Neji.." Sasuke said and then roughly got up. If that was how it was going to work he just had to drag himself to lunch. He stumbled to the celldoor now, holding himself up with everything that he could reach.

Neji followed Sasuke as quick as he could and helped Sasuke, looking worried.

"..Seriously Sasuke, let me help you." Neji said. "You helped me as well before."

"..I can do it m-myself." Sasuke snapped and walked a little faster, almost falling over.

Neji looked at Sasuke and then looked away again, but kept helping Sasuke. He helped him into the room again, and held him close when they were in line. He just prayed in his head that the guys from before wouldn't bother him. He knew that Sasuke would be in serious life danger then. And he didn't want to do as those guys pleased again.

Sasuke leaned on Neji just a little once they reached the room, but when they were in line he held onto Neji. His body just wouldn't work with him. "..Neji. Are you ok now?" He then asked carefully.

Neji nodded.

"I'm fine." He said. "How do you feel?"

"Like crap." Sasuke said and gave out a cough. "Are you really sure you're fine?" Sasuke asked.

Neji nodded.

"Yeah." He said. "It only pricks a little bit." He wouldn't tell Sasuke that he could barely walk. He wouldn't tell him that it had started bleeding again as well. Sasuke was more important now. He heard a few sniggers behind them. There probably were a few guys standing there, laughing because of the blood on his overall. Exactly at the place where his butt was. He choose to ignore it and looked at Sasuke. "You can sit down already if you want, then I'll get your food."

Sasuke shook his head. "I'm staying with you." He said and glared at the guys behind him. He didn't really care if he would get in trouble again. They should just leave Neji alone.

Neji nodded.

"Thanks." He said, smiling at Sasuke.

Sasuke smiled back at Neji and then got his breakfast, holding it a little unhandy. "This sucks." He said.

"It does." Neji said, nodding, as he accepted his own breakfast as well. They walked towards an almost empty table now. Kiba and Shikamaru were there as well.

Sasuke sat down and pushed his breakfast away. He had too much of a headache and stomach-ache to eat.

"..How are you two doing?" Shikamaru asked carefully.

"I'm fine." Neji said. Kiba frowned.

"What happened to you two?" He didn't know of the happening before at all.

"Weren't you there this morning?" Sasuke asked as he laid his head on the table and groaned.

"I heard about what happened. We were sitting in the back when it happened." Shikamaru said.

"What happened then?" Kiba asked with a frown. "I didn't heard anything." He looked at Shikamaru, when he saw that Neji was focusing on his lunch.

"I'll tell you when we get back to our cell." Shikamaru said as he looked at Neji and then started eating too.

"Why not now?" Kiba asked with a frown. "They know that you're going to tell it and they already know what you're going to tell, so why not tell now?"

"..You can tell him." Neji said to Shikamaru, before continuing eating again.

Shikamaru looked at Neji and then sighed. "Sasuke got beaten up and Neji was well.. raped." Shikamaru said uncomfortable.

"..Damn, are the two of you alright?" Kiba asked, worried. Neji nodded.

"..We're fine." Sasuke groaned, his head still on the table. Kiba and Shikamaru just had to stop talking, because this was not the time and place for Neji to talk about it.

Kiba still looked worried.

"..OK." He said, giving Shikamaru a look.

"I heard it's your birthday Neji. Congratulations." Shikamaru said, trying to avoid the subject for now.

"Thanks." Neji said, giving Shikamaru a slight smile.

"Yeah, congrats." Kiba said, nodding.

"I would've gotten you a present, but well, I can't." Shikamaru said.

"It's fine." Neji said, nodding. 'I already got a nice present today.' Neji sarcastically thought as he put his fork into his mouth.

Shikamaru then decided to shut his mouth and the table fell under an awkward silence. The only one who was being heard was Sasuke with his groans every once in a while.

"..Sasuke.. should I ask for the doctor?" Neji asked after some time, as he looked at Sasuke concerned.

Sasuke shook his head. "..No. I think it's just a combination of lack of drugs and being beaten up. I'm fine." Sasuke groaned. He really wasn't, but Neji was much more important and he wouldn't leave Neji alone now.

"..I'm going to search for one anyway." Neji said as he stood now, looking around. There always was someone of first aid walking around, so where was he now?

"Don't. I'm fine." Sasuke said and grabbed Neji's arm now. "I don't want you to walk around here on your own."

"I'm fine Sasuke." Neji said. "I know you're not fine."

Sasuke groaned again. "Just stay here." He snapped and pulled at Neji's arm weakly.

"Sasuke you need a doctor." Neji said, looking at Sasuke stern.

"He is right." Kiba said, looking at Sasuke.

"Fine. I'll look for one myself then." Sasuke said and got up stumbling. He looked around although his eyes wouldn't really focus on anything.

"Sit down." Neji said, stern. "I don't want you to be hurt even more."

"Well I don't want you to be more hurt." Sasuke snapped and then spotted someone that looked like someone from the first aid. He started walking towards him.

"..Then we'll go together." Neji said, as he walked next to Sasuke and helped him.

"You should be mad at me." Sasuke said as he leaned on Neji.

"Why?" Neji asked. They reached the guy now. "Sir, can you please help him? He has been beaten up very badly." He knew even the first aid guys in here were bad, almost as bad as the guards, but they did help you.

"People get beaten up here everyday, so why is this different huh?" The guy asked and looked at Neji and Sasuke irritated. Sasuke decided he should just let Neji do the talking for now.

"This isn't just a normal beating, he has been groaning in pain the whole time." Neji said. "Some guy kicked him in the stomach god knows how many times."

"I see. And you? You're not fine either are you." The guy said, still irritated but willing to help. "Let's get both of you to medicine room." He signed for Neji and Sasuke to follow him.

Neji frowned but then nodded and followed the guy. They arrived at a big room, full of first aid people, all in white.

"Someone help this guy." The first aid men said to the others. He then grabbed Neji by the arm and took him away from Sasuke. "I'll check up on you." He said.

Neji nodded as he walked with the doctor.

"Alright." Neji said. "Although it's not really needed, I don't know if there's anything that can help it." He looked back a little, where he saw Sasuke being placed onto a bed.

"I'm sure there is. You were raped weren't you?" The guy asked and then signed for Neji to lie down on his stomach.

Neji nodded as he did what he was told.

"This morning." He said. He didn't really felt like showing his ruined entrance to someone, but he guessed it was fine. This was a doctor.

"Please remove your overall and boxer." The doctor said as he was putting on some rubber gloves.

Neji frowned but complied, taking off his overall and pulling his boxer down and put it all onto the ground. Then he laid down again, with red cheeks. This wasn't comfortable at all.

"Don't worry, I've seen this a lot. You won't look different then the others." The doctor said and turned around. "Now don't get scared." He added and then started looking and feeling Neji's entrance.

Neji bit his lip as he grabbed the bed tightly. He hoped that the doctor would just clean everything and that he could go again then.

"You're torn up pretty bad." The doctor said. "I'll give you a cream and medicine against the infection you have. But I have seen worse."

"Alright." Neji said, relieved.

"I'll put some of the cream on now. It'll feel cold." The doctor said and put some of the cream on Neji's entrance and a little in it too.

Neji nodded as he bit his lip again.

"What happens if well.. it happens again?" Neji asked.

"That would be bad. You'd get torn. I'll make sure someone is watching you during breakfast, lunch and dinner. But only for the time it will be dangerous for you." The doctor answered and then put his gloves off. "You can dress again now."

Neji nodded, as he sat up again.

"Alright, thanks." Neji said. "Because a friend of the guy who did this said he wanted to take me as well." He picked up his blood covered boxer and overall now.

"I see. We'll keep an eye on you." The doctor said. "And I'll give you a new overall." He then said and got up, getting another overall for Neji.

Neji nodded.

"Thanks." He said. "..Do you have a boxer as well..?"

"Of course." The doctor said and got a boxer out of a closet. He then handed them to Neji. "There you go."

"Thanks." Neji said, smiling at the doctor, and then put on his boxers. Pfew. It seemed the rumors about the doctors had been fake. He'd heard that the doctors wanted to do something sexually with you after they'd helped you. But this one was nice and even gave him some clothes.

"If anything is wrong, please make sure you come to me. Other are a little more.. willing to get some pay back." The doctor said. "Now off you go, the bell rung."

Neji nodded.

"OK, thanks." He said. It seemed he'd gotten a nice one. So the rumours 'were' true. He put on his overall and then walked towards Sasuke. "How is he?" He asked to one of the doctors that were standing there. "Can I take him with me again?"

"He's in a bad condition. We gave him some medicine to take but there is nothing more we can do. We can't give him to much because his body obviously is working off some drugs." A doctor said.

"...So he just has to lay down in the cell and take his medicine once in a while?" Neji asked, helping Sasuke up.

"Pretty much. We'll check up on him in a couple days." Another doctor said and suddenly smirked. Sasuke could only groan and hold himself up with Neji's help.

Neji frowned at that doctor. Why was he smirking?

"Alright." He said. "I'll come with him." He wouldn't let those doctors touch Sasuke. "Can I have the medicine Sasuke has to take?"

"Here it is." The doctor said. "Now leave, the bell has already rang." Sasuke got off the bed now and hung his arms over Neji. He was feeling worse then before now.

Neji nodded as he took the medicine with him, and supported Sasuke.

"..How are you feeling?" Neji asked as they made their way towards the cells.

"Worse then ever." Sasuke answered. He didn't know what those doctors gave him, but it only made him feel worse.

"..Did they touch you?" Neji asked, concerned.
Sasuke turned his head way. "..Maybe." He said. He just wanted to lay down in bed and sleep. Maybe he'd feel better after that.

"What did they do?" Neji asked, worried, as they arrived in their cell.

Sasuke pulled himself away from Neji and laid down on his bed. "It's not important." He softly said.

"Sasuke please.. just tell me." Neji said. "I want to know. Then I can talk with you..."

"I don't know OK...They said it was necessary." Sasuke said and turned away from Neji now. He was having a major headache now and he just wanted to sleep. Not talk.

Neji looked at Sasuke and then looked away again. So Sasuke didn't trust him. He sat down onto his own bed, after he'd placed Sasuke's medicines onto Sasuke's bed.

"..I didn't think being in jail was this fucked up.." Sasuke groaned and then buried his head in his pillow. He knew he needed drugs and he just didn't have them. It sucked big time.

"...No one'd expect something like this.." Neji softly said, nodding.

"Will you come lay with me..? I'm cold." Sasuke asked now. He just needed a little comfort now. And he was sure Neji needed it too.

Neji was silent first, but then nodded and stood, and laid down next to Sasuke, nearly falling off the bed. He put one of his arms around Sasuke, and sighed.

Sasuke grabbed Neji's hand and closed his eyes now. "Thanks.." He softly said. "I'm going to sleep now."

"..Alright.." Neji said. "..Sleep well.."

"You too." Sasuke said and not long after, he fell asleep.

Neji though, stayed awake. He wanted to watch over Sasuke. So that's what he did.
