Okay…a couple of announcements…NAAAHHH I KID!
Does anyone else absolutely hate it when people say that? I do.
BUT FOH SERIOUS, I have a couple Author Notes…one, is thanks to everyone who sends me messages, but sorry, I can't alternate the story to fight your specific likings…its unfortunate, and don't think that if it was possible Naruto Shippuden would be COMPLETELY centered around SasuNaru. MAYBE SasuNaruSasu.
Secondly, I've had a couple of reviews/messages that my recent chapters have seemed forced or rushed in some places…and I agree, but I'm not actually rushing, but my problem is that I have so many ideas I rush to type them all in at once, and then I'll switch around things in mid sentence, and I forget that I should probably add this and this, etc. etc., excuse, excuse…long story short, I'll try to do better.
AND, my new favorite person in TehBloodSpitter. Thank you for your reviews, and since I don't get many I've decided to recognize the ones that DO in my Author Notes….so thanks who reviewed, and a special thanks to TehBloodSpitter for reviewing a multitude of times, and if you need any help with your phobia of odd numbers, I have several psychiatrists cards here…but please keep in mind if some of them are found to be dead…you never got the card from me.
Now I need sleep. Its 4AM, I know I JUST updated but I couldn't keep the sadistic side of me from eagerly typing away to add it on for you sadists. Hehe.
WARNINGS: pretty extreme abuse of Naruto, rape, language
DISCLAIMER: I in no way own or claim to own Naruto or any of its characters.
Enjoy the story…
Headlights flashed on front of the dark building as the shiny expensive looking car screeched to a stop in the parking lot. Slamming the car door, a dark haired man stepped out and hurriedly locked the doors with his key, obviously remembering the neighborhood he had just loudly entered.
Turning, the man nearly ran into the small building that rested on the far right side of the island of pavement that contained the crummy apartments, passing by the multitude of other suspect looking people as he made his way to the apartment lobby.
Sasuke had never seen where Naruto lived, and he could suddenly tell why Naruto had never once even mentioned his home, and why very few people actually knew where Naruto lived. The whole building was depressing, dark and obviously disgusting.
Hookers and drug addicts or dealers littered the hallways, streets, and corners, and a couple of very obvious thugs were glancing around constantly. Probably looking for opposing gang members to gun down.
But at that moment, Sasuke Uchiha didn't care. He didn't care about anything other than that blonde haired, loud mouthed, blue eyed dobe. In his gut, the boy knew that Naruto was in trouble, or was heading towards it. Sasuke couldn't really explain it, but…
Sasuke yanked open the door, and walked into the lobby. It was dirty and smelled of old cheese mixed with death. Sasuke coughed slightly but headed without hesitation towards the splintered and rotting desk at the back of the room, with the sign overhead reading "Guest Relations."
The old man sitting at the desk was leaning on his elbows, with a bottle of strange smelling whiskey in one hand, and his head in the other. Sasuke wasn't sure whether to slap the man or the dingy bell to get his attention.
I swear, if this fucking idiot is drunk, Sasuke thought, images of a distressed or even dead Naruto filled his mind and his whole body seemed to be boiling.
"Hey! Hey you!" The old man turned and stared at Sasuke for a moment with blank eyes before he took a swig of the whiskey, offering no reply.
"I'm talking to you, idiot," Sasuke snapped earning a look from the old man who gazed at the dark haired man who had just appeared at his desk. The old man slowly picked up a knife from underneath the counter and held it point down on the desk, obviously for Sasuke's eyes. Sasuke rolled his eyes and delivered a famed death glare to the old man who yawned in response.
"What do you want kid," he demanded in an irritated raspy voice. "You don't interrupt me and Lucy over here." The old man patted the bottle fondly, but Sasuke ignored him.
"You're with guest relations right?"
"Yeah…and listen here, brat, I ain't go no more room for people so get lost before you lose your life." Sasuke was already tired of listening to this idiots voice.
"Shut up old man and listen to me." The old man narrowed his eyes, no one had really stood up to him in this way, and the fact that the dark haired temper boy wasn't affected by his obvious threats intrigued him. Either the man was drunk, high, or didn't care about his own life.
"I'm listening," the old man drawled.
"I need to know what room Naruto Uzumaki stays in," Sasuke demanded. The old man raised his bushy eyebrows and snickered.
"That piece of shit?" he retorted, taking Sasuke by surprise. "…well now, why would someone be looking for him I wonder?" Sasuke narrowed his eyes at the man; he was getting on the raven's nerves. And extremely so. The old man rubbed his forefinger and his thumb together.
"You're looking for money, right?" he cackled. "That good for nothing demon never pays his debts. I'm looking for some cash due from the brat right about now too, haven't seen 'im in weeks! His rent is due and if he doesn't pay up I'll kick the dumb bastards stuff out on the lawn and set it on fire. It's probably a hazard to society."
Sasuke fumed at the man, mentally noting that what he had expected was true, the apartment was obviously not going through fumigations.
Stupid dobe."I'm not here for money," Sasuke snapped. "I'm a friend, and I need to know the room number now." The old man chewed on his gums before he answered slowly.
"A friend eh…? A good friend, probl'y try'in to help the brat out, eh? Well, if you really wanna help out you need to pay up for his rent," the man said slowly, a sinister grin covering half his face. Sasuke was out of patience, and this garbage was out of time.
Nearly leaping across the desk, Sasuke grabbed the man by his shirt, gruffly pulling the old bag of bones across the desk to come face to face with the burning onyx eyes.
"Listen to me, you scum. You're going to tell me what apartment number and complex he lives in, and you won't get hurt."
The old man responded by spitting in Sasuke's face. Sasuke grimaced in disgust before immediately smashing the man's nose onto the desk and punching the side of his old fragile skull. It didn't take much, with a broken nose and punched face; the bedraggled crook hit the floor hard, knocked out cold.
Sasuke wiped off the saliva with disgust before he moved around behind the desk quickly, ignoring the stares from the other apartment owners and workers that were spread about the lobby. Fortunately for Sasuke, and sadly for Naruto, they saw this kind of violence every day and not one of them lingered on the action before returning back to their own tasks.
Sasuke pulled countless paper after paper from files, the old man was obviously lacking in the department of organization, he had no apparent method to his madness, and each paper was more confusing and annoying then the rest. Finally, overwhelmed, Sasuke lifted up a stack of folders and in his frustration flung them at the wall, sending papers everywhere.
Sasuke groaned and picked up a couple. Right as he was about to toss them back to the ground, his eyes snagged on a list of numbers.
Jackpot! Sasuke mentally congratulated himself. He had found the paper with the list of apartment owner's information, more than likely to use against the owner in case of some…incident as leverage or blackmail.
Disgusted, but relieved that he had found the paper, Sasuke scanned until he found Naruto's name near the bottom of the page. Naruto was all the way down at the end of apartments, obviously this was not a plus.
Sasuke scanned the page, memorizing the apartment number; his eyes fell on the information paragraph about the fox.
Naruto Uzumaki: Age: 22 Sex: Male
VITAL INFO: Very protective of small black box in his chester drawers, interesting items inside. Loves his friends, very personal and friendly. Would probably die for others, if needed most likely his weakness would be to exploit his friends, starting with his emergency contacts.
(The paper continued to list random facts to use against Naruto, but Sasuke wasn't concerned about that)
…I.C.E Contacts: Iruka Umino
Shikamaru Nara
Sasuke Uchiha Sasuke still gazed at the paragraph before he ripped Naruto's section off the page, and then stepped over the old man, heading for the door.
Me…I'm one of his emergency contacts? We were just friends before all…whatever happened, happened. He could picked anyone else…anyone…why me?
No one cared, or even gave him a second look as Sasuke left, the aftermath of his methods behind him.
Sasuke glanced back down at the paper as he walked steadily down the sidewalk towards the end of the apartment complex. Sasuke noticed that as he went farther down, the lights were less and less bright, or even on for that matter.
Sasuke frowned thinking of his dobe walking through this area alone every night for…how long? Two years? Sasuke shivered as he continued walking, yes, to top it all off the night was the coldest Sasuke could ever remember experiencing, and what if…if…
Sasuke forced himself to stop thinking, and finally arrived at the complex number. Counting carefully, Sasuke found himself in front of rusted metal staircase that led to a dark un lit hallway. Sasuke gazed warily around, this was the perfect place for someone to jump him, and who knows how Naruto managed to survive as long as he has.
Sasuke checked over his shoulder, realizing for the first time that Naruto's car was behind him. Or at least what was left of it.
The car had been stripped down to the frame, and it was a piece of crap to begin with. Sasuke frowned and shuddered. Whether it was due to his surroundings or the biting cold, he wasn't sure. But one thing he knew was he couldn't turn back, he needed to find Naruto.
Stepping boldly, Sasuke made his way up the sagging and creaking steps, reminding himself that any step at any kind could shatter the stairs. So once he carefully, though hurriedly, made his way to the hallway, Sasuke blinked and stood still for a moment, trying to adjust to fact that there was absolutely no light. At all.
In the complete dark, at nearly one o'clock in the morning, Sasuke had a hard time making out the door knob, but he finally found it, and twisted it. No luck, the door was locked. A small spark of hope sprung up in Sasuke's heart, thinking that Naruto must be home, the door was locked from the inside right? Sasuke cursed, Naruto wouldn't open the door if he was there, Sasuke didn't blame him.
But for some reason, Sasuke wasn't feeling right about Naruto, even if he was inside. He made up his mind to take Naruto, and bring him back home to his mansion, where he belonged. Sasuke stepped back and took a deep breath before he kicked directly under the doorknob. The old door splintered almost instantly, and swung open.
The sudden sounds of dogs barking made Sasuke jump, his nerves were on fire. Stepping into the room Sasuke was a little nervous. There were no lights on, everything was dark, and not a sound was coming from inside. Searching the walls for a light switch, Sasuke's careful hands finally bumped into one.
A low dirty light flickered on, giving a dim radius around the room.
Sasuke looked around the apartment, biting his lip as he took in his depressing surroundings. Closing the door quietly, Sasuke took slow steps forwards.
The room was trashed, and the dust that covered everything told him that it wasn't a recent robbery. Another instinct told him Naruto didn't have anything to rob…so the only other explanation was…? Sasuke continued forwards.
The small dirty couch was pushed at a weird angle, and one of the cushions was thrown on the floor. Beside the couch was broken end table, two legs were shattered and splintered and the table top was split in two.
Like someone fell on it…
A shattered lamp wasn't very far away from the broken table, and as Sasuke peered closer he noticed that the shards were tainted with blood, but thankfully old blood. Sasuke stood up again and looked back around the den.
Sasuke wasn't an idiot, and this whole room was obviously signs of an old struggle. With who, and why was unclear, but Sasuke was sure it was somehow linked to Naruto's strange behavior. Sasuke moved to the left, it was a hallway. Kneeling once more, Sasuke rubbed his finger on the old blood stain. It was smeared. Like someone was dragged…
Nervous to find out more, Sasuke followed the old blood marks through the hall and past a bathroom door. The streaks stopped at a closed door. Carefully, Sasuke opened the door, afraid of what he would see.
Nothing?
Nothing was there; it was just Naruto's bedroom. Sasuke noticed that the streaks led to the base of the bed before it stopped.
Naruto's bedroom was worse than the den, Sasuke observed. It seemed that several odds and ends scattered the floor of the room, as Sasuke stepped carefully over them and made his way to the bed. His eyes caught on shreds of something resting on the floor at the side of bed. Sasuke curiously fingered it, instantly feeling the strange constinency of exercise clothes. Sasuke looked at it in sudden fear as a slow dreading feeling came over him.
Gripping the torn fabric in his hand, Sasuke slowly rose and looked at the bed closely. The sheets were ripped and messed up, and blood stains were spotted around the sheets as well as another unidentified substance. Sasuke lifted a thin piece of broken rope from underneath one of the sheets.
Like a wave, the final conclusion slammed into Sasuke.
Naruto…was…he was…Many different emotions ran rampant through him, anger, pity, anguish…and a strong sense of nausea. Complete disgust at the fucking bastard who had done this to Naruto. His poor…Sasuke closed his eyes tight and threw the remains of Naruto's exercise pants on the ground.
I…I need to talk to him; I need to…help him. I need to-…but he's not here, Sasuke opened his eyes. Where on Earth would that dobe go? The need to find the blonde boy was more urgent than ever. Sasuke had no idea…recalling the words from the blackmail list, Sasuke turned to find the rotting chester drawers. Pulling the top one out, Sasuke instantly noticed the fake back of the drawer.
Pulling slightly, Sasuke took the drawer out of its place and reached his hand back, shoving the concealing wall away, and pulled out a black box. Running his fingers lightly over the polished wood lid, Sasuke looked back around the bedroom.
His anger hadn't subsided and he knew that he couldn't stay in that room for another second, so he walked out the door and through the hallway back to the den. Where it had all started, apparently.
Sasuke moved carefully, his eyes still roaming the seemingly plain box. But it was mentioned in that paragraph and Naruto had gone through the trouble of hiding it. Sasuke made his way to the couch and sat down on the edge of the cushion.
There were no inward battles of invading privacy with Naruto, he needed to find the kitsune, for all he knew whoever took him the first time might have him again…and this box maybe it held clues. Or maybe Sasuke was just nosey. He didn't really know either way, and he didn't care either.
Pushing the hinged lid up, Sasuke looked inside the box. It wasn't very deep or wide, but it wasn't tiny either. And from what Sasuke could tell it was mainly pieces of paper.
Slowly, Sasuke pulled the first item out of the box. It was a paper from the college they both attended, informing him of his acceptance due to the scholarships Uzumaki had qualified. Sasuke smirked; he remembered this…Naruto had been so excited. Putting the paper beside him on the couch Sasuke continued, pulling out another paper.
Struggling to see in the bad light, Sasuke pulled the first item out of the box. It was a letter from the college they both attended, informing him of his acceptance due to the scholarships that Uzumaki had qualified. Sasuke smirked; he remembered this…Naruto had been so excited. Putting the paper beside him on the couch Sasuke continued, pulling out another paper.
Squinting to read in the bad light, Sasuke finally identified it as a paper notifying Naruto of his release of the Bit of Hope Orphanage, due to him being 18 years old on that day. Sasuke frowned, and put it aside as well.
So this is some box of his life…?
The next papers were all small milestones in Naruto's life, his last report card, a copy of his applicant letter to the college, and other small pieces and scraps of paper. Sasuke wasn't sure if he should continue, but he was already half way through right…?
Sasuke pulled out another piece of parchment, it was folded up into a small square, and as Sasuke unfolded it he recognized it immediately, it was a badly made copy of Naruto's birth certificate…his parents names signed at the bottom. Sasuke gazed at the worn paper for a while before carefully placing it in his lap. Sasuke looked into the box again, it was nearly empty now.
The next paper was a folded over newspaper clipping. Curious, Sasuke flipped it over and saw that it was a small column, with the picture of a smoking and gruesome looking collision accident, a small car was completely destroyed by a large truck. Sasuke looked down at the article itself, it listed a brief report of the accident and the instant death of Kushina Uzumaki and the critical condition of her small child.
Sasuke let out a low breath of air, and slowly placed the clipping down. So this was…Naruto's box of his life. His only connections to things he once had in his life. No wonder it was important to Naruto. Sasuke looked down, suddenly ashamed he had invaded Naruto's privacy, which was strange because Uchihas don't feel shame. Ever.
Scooping the papers back up, Sasuke was about to place them all in the box again when he noticed something shimmered at the bottom of the box. Puzzled, Sasuke reached his hand down to find three items. Pulling them up Sasuke observed what they were:
A dingy ring, obviously old and battered.
A faded photograph
And a bloody shard of glass.
Sasuke put the ring back in and stared at the glass in confusion, what did this have to do with Naruto's life? He kept that out, and then went to put the photograph back in when he caught the familiar blaze of blonde hair, even in that old photo it shone like a beacon. Sasuke gazed closer at it.
It was a photo of Naruto as a small (adorable) child, smiling widely and gazing up with those brilliant cerulean eyes at his Mother who was kneeling beside him, smiling softly at the camera. There was some kind of sadness in his mother's eyes, as if she knew it would only be a couple of days before her life would be cut short.
Sasuke bit his lip, and closed his eyes for a moment. All this time, that idiotic dobe had carried around this…Sasuke suddenly had an idea…if this photograph was at all important to Naruto, then…peering back at the photo Sasuke searched for any sign.
The picture was obviously at a lake, under the shade of several trees, a small brown bench was too left of them and…there!
The sign that identified the lake in particular, Crystal Views, it was only a couple of minutes away, Sasuke figured. He knew the place, but it was a large lake and it would be hard to find the exact place that this was taken. Sasuke placed everything back in the box, grimly knowing that he had to find Naruto, and his best bet was at that lake.
Slamming the lid closed, Sasuke stood up-and fell flat on the floor.
Groaning in aggravation, Sasuke pushed himself up. What had tripped him…?
Turning around, Sasuke noticed that he had tripped on the edge of something that was just barely jutting out from underneath the couch. Carefully, Sasuke pulled the metal out from underneath the couch, revealing the frame of a mirror.
Sasuke stared in shock and horror as he saw the full mirror. It was shattered, and every piece was marred with blood. Finally, it all clicked. Finally, Sasuke understood.
Xx
Slowly, Naruto opened his eyes. His head was throbbing…where was he? What the hell happened to him?
Naruto was afraid that he was blind, when he opened his eyes all he saw was darkness. But as Naruto's eyes adjusted, he noticed a splintered bench a few feet in front of him. Moving uncomfortably, Naruto realized he was lying on the ground, and his whole body was sore, especially his head which was still pounding.
Slowly, he remembered what had happened…he had gotten angry at Sasuke-teme- and then came to the only place he knew would calm him down, make him feel better.
But something had hit him…over the head…
A twig snapping made Naruto jerk, and turn his head to right. Naruto saw a black boot advancing towards him. Struggling to get up, Naruto found that he couldn't move. Glancing down at his body, he found to his great horror that his feet and hands were bound together.
Valiantly Naruto tried to push himself up, but a heavy boot was suddenly pushed down on the blonde's throat, cutting off his angry and surprised yelp. Naruto blinked and gasped as the pressure on his neck slowly increased. Looking up, Naruto's eyes met that of an all too familiar masked face.
Naruto's worst fears had come true, the man had come back. He came back to kill Naruto.
The assailant grinned a harsh toothy smile at the blonde whose eyes had filled with loathing fear, and placed a finger up to his mouth, signaling the fox to be quiet he made a 'Shhh' sound in his throat. Naruto struggled violently, which only succeeded in the man pushing his boot further on his neck, cutting off all supply of Naruto's desperately needed air.
Naruto tried to cough, but to no avail, his body wouldn't respond as the boot tormented him, his lungs protested harshly, screaming for just one gulp of air, a chance to live. Lights exploded in Naruto's eyes as he thrashed about trying to force the boots off his throat. His eyes met wildly for a moment with the killer, before he started to give way to pounding in his head, and his blue eyes started to roll up in his head.
Roughly, the boot was removed from Naruto's wind pipe, causing the kitsune to take a sudden and raspy breath of the deprived oxygen. Shakily, Naruto heaved, leaning his head back he took deep ragged breathes, still unsure if he had died or not.
Slowly, Naruto turned his head to catch eyes with the once again grinning man.
"Something wrong?" came the raspy voice. The very sound of his voice grated against Naruto's nerves, causing him to flinch.
"Go to hell." Naruto snapped back, his voice cracking. The man leaned down, putting his face inches from Naruto's face.
"You first."
Roughly, the man pulled away, as the sudden sickening truth sank into Naruto. He was going to be murder by this bastard, and not only murdered but tortured.
The man left his sight for a moment and Naruto instantly struggled to get up once more, he had to get away, who knew what this evil man had in mind for him. As Naruto struggled, the man approached him slowly, amused by the futile attempts of escape.
"Now, now, don't you want to stick around for the party?" The voice was like nails on a chalkboard, and Naruto froze, paralyzed by fear. He felt the all too familiar gloved hands grabbed him roughly by the shoulder, forcing him to sit up, Naruto was once again face to face with his tormentor, who gave another raspy laugh before slamming the blonde harshly back against the cold ground.
Naruto gasped as the air was knocked out of body and pain exploded in the back of his head. Groaning slightly, Naruto was completely unprepared as the man roughly forced his fingers into the hair on the side of Naruto's head. Ripping on the handful of hair, the man forced Naruto up, causing a loud sound of pain from the blonde's mouth.
The man stood and pulled Naruto to his feet, helping him stand, due to his tied up feet. The man pressed down on a spot near Naruto's spine, instantly sending ruthless sharps of pain up Naruto's body. Naruto thrashed, attempting to get away from his torturer, who stopped his pressure right before Naruto blacked out.
Naruto was gruffly dragged towards the man by the hair as he whispered into Naruto's ear:
"Having fun yet?" The man asked. Naruto gasped for breath, he wouldn't go out like this.
"I'm not afraid of you," Naruto hissed, his voice was annoyingly hoarse. This only served to make the man angry, and Naruto received a sharp punch to his kidneys, and an uppercut to his jaw. Naruto yelled in anger and pain, but the man slapped his hand gruffly across the blonde's mouth.
Naruto coughed as the rough gloved hand pushed against his mouth, harder and harder. Angrily, Naruto bit down the hand as hard as he could, receiving a muffled string of curse words from his assailant who removed his hand instantly from Naruto's mouth. Naruto smirked.
The smirk was quickly wiped off his face as the man flashed an angry grimace and released a powerful punch to Naruto's mouth, letting go of Naruto's hair at the same time; Naruto was pushed backwards to the ground, slamming roughly on the sharp rocks of the lakes shore. Rolling, Naruto closed his eyes as the intense pain of a thousand needles pierced his skin.
Finally, Naruto stopped rolling at the edge of the water, resting on his side; Naruto spat blood from his mouth. Once again Naruto tried to get up, but his aching and screaming body refused to respond. Naruto cursed himself and his own paralyzing fear. Suddenly Naruto was grabbed roughly by the back of his shirt, and dragged back across the rocks and onto the cold dirt.
The man jerked Naruto up to a standing position pushing Naruto towards him; he leaned in, his breath hot and hateful. The man pulled his glove off, exposing his bleeding hand from where Naruto had bit down. Naruto gave the man a hateful smirk before spitting blood out of his mouth once more.
As a reply to Naruto, The man suddenly heaved the blonde into the air, carrying him over to bench, slamming Naruto down on his back the man gave another one of his hateful smiles as he pulled a sharp knife from his back pocket, flipping it out, he quickly sliced towards Naruto.
Naruto gasped in pain as the knives made a shallow cut on his legs, looking down Naruto saw his pants were ripped from the knee down, and saw the blood slowly seeping down his legs. Gritting his teeth, Naruto refused to show pain. However, it didn't slow down his attacker for a moment.
He reached out and grabbed the waistband of Naruto's pants.
Naruto was filled with sudden fury and panic, and the man loved the sudden realization that filled the blue eyes. With one move, the man roughly forced the pants down, exposing Naruto's legs and underwear. Naruto struggled violently, only to receive a stinging punch to the side of his face, which left him breathless, stunned.
Leaning forwards, the man trailed the knife down from his stomach towards his groin making a small cut all the way down. As he reached Naruto's regions, he jerked the knife down, splitting the underclothes in half, and ripping them off Naruto's body. Suddenly, Naruto reacted forcing himself to sit up he struck out blindly, striking the man across the face with his bound fists.
The man hissed, stabbing the knife into the bench, directly beside Naruto's head, he grabbed the bound wrists of Naruto and forced them over his head, Gazing into Naruto's fearful eyes, he smirked once before thrusting into Naruto's exposed body.
A loud piercing scream came from the abused kitsunes mouth. This was quickly silenced by the free gloved hand. The man had learned his lesson though, and made sure that the boy couldn't bite him again.
The man's complete intention was to cause intense pain, it wasn't for pleasure, it wasn't for a quickie, and it was to intentionally make Naruto suffer. He plunged into Naruto repeatedly, until the writhing fox bled. Naruto wouldn't stop, even though he was completely immobile, the man forcing all his weight on him, Naruto couldn't stop fighting, he wouldn't.
It seemed to go on forever in Naruto's mind, as he clenched his eyes shut to avoid seeing his rape, a lone tear forced its way out and rolled deftly down his tan face.
He could feel it, the whole process; every movement was so painful, and so memorable. Every thrust and every grunt from the disgusting pig that was forcing himself into Naruto's body. Naruto could barely stand it, his back arched as the man struck forcefully against his prostate.
Kill me…now!
At last the man slowed, satisfied at Naruto's pain and distress, He roughly pulled out of the kitsune. Letting go of the kitsune, he backed away to get himself together before continuing with the brat.
Big mistake.
Naruto felt the lack of pressure and sudden absence of the man; he ignored his pain in a sudden passion of fury. Using the back of bench as support, Naruto pushed himself up, seeing the man attempting to pull his own pants up, Naruto's untamable fury boiled over.
He leaped off the bench, lurching forwards, the man moved just in time, letting Naruto fall harshly on his knees. Naruto hissed at his failure, and the man growled at the attempted attack by Naruto. He was getting tired of this crap.
Angrily, he grabbed onto Naruto's hair once more, forcing the head up, he used his other hand to pull Naruto's jaw down. Naruto gasped as his mouth was forced open, and the rapist's dick was suddenly forced down his throat. Naruto gagged in sudden disgust and horror.
The man angrily and forcefully pushed into the dismayed blonde's mouth, grinning and baring his teeth at the movements. But suddenly, he felt one of his hands lose a grip on Naruto's face.
Naruto had managed to pull out of the hand that was gripping his jaw. Taking the second interval of his success, Naruto clamped down on the man, causing a sudden screech of pain from the man. Naruto angrily kicked out at the man's feet, who stumbled backwards.
Wiping the blood off his face, Naruto struggled to remove the ropes from his hands, as the man double over in excruciating pain. Naruto felt the need to hurry rise in his throat, choking him, panicking, he pulled at the relentless bonds.
The next thing Naruto knew, the man was suddenly in front of him. Naruto looked up just in time to see the hand striking out to punch him roughly in the throat. Naruto's strangled cry was lost as he fell backwards, gasping for air.
The enraged man reached over and violently grabbed Naruto by the shirt, shaking the boy relentlessly, the black shirt made a loud sound as the right shoulder was ripped off the shirt. The man continued beating the boy, Naruto's head was fuzzy as his body took beating after beating, and the man didn't stop until he caught a glance at the now exposed scar covered arm.
"Aww," his harsh voice filled Naruto's ears. "Did I do that? You little-"
Naruto was dropped roughly, striking his head against the rocks, his eyelids fluttered as he looked up into the scars.
"You want to feel pain?" the man's voice struck like lightning. "I'll give you pain!"
Naruto couldn't help the loud scream of pain as the man plunged his knife into Naruto's forearm, pinning the blonde to the ground. Yanking the knife out harshly the man grinned at the writhing blonde who looked over at his heavily bleeding arm.
"YOU FUC-"
Naruto was cut off short as the man struck down towards him again with the knife, Naruto's arm instantly went up to shield himself, sending another wave of pain from his arm. Thankfully, the knife buried itself into the ropes that bound Naruto's hands together. Struggling, Naruto pulled the ropes off his arm and instantly struck out to land a solid punch on the side of the man's face.
Suddenly, the man was sick of his game. It was time for the brat to die.
Flinging the knife to the ground, he placed his hands roughly around Naruto's neck, squeezing as hard as he could. Naruto gasped and clawed at the hands with his one good arm. But the man wasn't going to end it that easily.
Grunting with exertion, the man lifted himself and Naruto and suddenly plunged into the cold water.
The water bit into Naruto's body stinging every wound, and amplifying every single cut. Struggling for air, Naruto was roughly pulled out of the water only to be lifted into the air, the man's hands still gripped around his throat.
Naruto gasped for breath before the man plunged him back into the water. Naruto fought against the hands as they held him under. The water rushed over him, and Naruto looked up at the watery image of the man who was holding him under to die. The rough hands pulled Naruto up once more, keeping him dangling above the water.
Naruto kicked with his bound feet, clawing at the hands as his whole body gasped and screamed for air, the man smiled in satisfaction at the color and fear that clouded the face of his victim before he slammed the boy back down into the water.
Naruto didn't really feel the cold anymore, or the harsh throbs of his many wounds. All he felt was the slow fading blackness of death as his lungs burned. He closed his eyes tight against the water, feeling his body start to relax and his energy sucked out of his body rapidly. His hands dropped, as he stopped fighting the man.
I'm going to die here…he thought almost calmly to himself. And the worst thing is…I'm totally alone. No one will know…no one will find me. I left Sasuke, he probably hates me now…Sasuke…Sasuke…
Sasuke had heard the distant scream as he walked hurriedly around the lake, searching for a certain blonde dobe. He froze, that scream…it sounded a lot like-
Dashing into a run, Sasuke ran headlong in the dark, adrenaline and anger pumping through his body. It wasn't long until Sasuke noticed a clump of trees a distance away. Immediately knowing that it had to be the place in Naruto's picture, he pushed harder than he had ever pushed before.
Sasuke came to a stop when he reached the trees, looking around wildly, he didn't see any sign of-
Hearing a sudden splash, Sasuke wheeled to see a dark clothed man holding something…or someone under the water. Sasuke didn't stop for a moment, leaping forwards he yelled angrily. The dark clothed man turned in surprise to see a dark haired incredibly angry boy running towards him.
Stepping from the water to meet him, he received a sudden punch across the face. Sasuke didn't stop, as he repeatedly slammed his clenched fists into the unsuspecting man.
The bastard dodged his next punch, and retaliated with a heavy blow to Sasuke's face. Sasuke stumbled and fell backwards, feeling blood trickle from his nose, Sasuke barely rolled out of the way of the man's next attack.
Sasuke kicked the man's legs and jumped up the kick him again in the back. The man grunted in anger and pain before he turned and slammed both of his arms into Sasuke who went flying back, landed on his back, to the left of the old bench.
Sasuke struggled to stand, and his eyes glimpsed a pool of blood, and shredded clothing scattered beside the bench directly beside him.
Feelings that Sasuke had never experienced before came suddenly rushing from his heart, realizing instantly what this man had done, Sasuke stood coldly, and calculated. This man had hurt Naruto for the last time.
The man bared his teeth before charging forwards at Sasuke. Sasuke stood his ground waiting for the right moment…
SLAM
Sasuke's right fist caught the man across the side of his face, without hesitation Sasuke lashed out with his left fist with an uppercut to his jaw. Moving deftly, his body shaking with the rush of hearing the man's bones crack under his fist, Sasuke punched the man in the nose, shattering it. The man staggered momentarily before screaming, irate, and lurching forwards, he grabbed a large heavy limb and advanced on Sasuke.
Sasuke moved backwards, dodging as the man swung at his head, Sasuke's eyes caught onto the glint of metal. Reaching out quickly, Sasuke snatched up the discarded, bloody knife before he caught the limb on the side of his head.
Sasuke gasped and fell forwards, feeling blood pour from his temple, he turned in anger, whirling the knife stabbed the man in the gut.
The man stumbled in surprise, and passed by Sasuke, gripping his wound. Sasuke moved with passion and jabbed the knife into the back of the man. Without a sound, the man fell, face forwards.
The fall took him over a small hill that stood over a steep if not shallow valley that was riddled with rocks (namely a ditch that lead to an underground drain) tumbling down and making a sickening noise as he collided with the ground.
But Sasuke didn't care. He dropped the knife and ran to the water, where the man had once stood.
Looking around desperately, he finally caught the sight of bright blonde hair. Sasuke ran as fast as he could through the water and grabbed the floating body, pulling it out of the water; Sasuke instantly identified him as Naruto Uzumaki.
Sasuke struggled to pull the unresponsive boy to the shore, but finally he was able to pull the kitsune's upper half of his body out of the cold water, and onto Sasuke's lap. Thunder growled softly through the sky as the foreboding rain finally broke from the sky and gently fell down on them.
"Naruto…" Sasuke whispered, his eyes were swimming over every cut, every feature of the boys face. Naruto's face looked strangely peaceful, as Sasuke looked over him. Leaning down, Sasuke put his ear next to Naruto's nose, but nothing. No breath.
Sasuke stayed hovering over the body of Naruto, his eyes suddenly brimming with tears, he gazed, never once blinking at the seemingly angelic face of that beautiful creature. Suddenly overwhelmed, Sasuke pulled his legs together, cradling Naruto's head in his lap and hands, as the lake softly lapped up on them both.
Sasuke finally let the tears spill over his eyes, his throat was burning and his mind went blank. Letting out a sobbing sound, Sasuke's body shook quietly as he rubbed his thumb gently on the cold skin.
"S…Sasuke…"
Sasuke's eyes flew open, sure he had imagine the soft voice. But as Sasuke watched, Naruto's eyes slowly opened, revealing the brilliantly blue eyes that Sasuke loved so much. Sasuke gave a little shudder breath and stared as Naruto blinked slowly.
"H-how…how did-"Naruto cough violently his whole body shaking dangerously. Sasuke looked down on him with shiny eyes, the tears still falling down his face.
"Shh, Naruto don't say anything," Sasuke said in a hoarse voice. He continued to rub Naruto's face; he knew that Naruto was in a dangerous place, teetering towards death at any moment. Naruto licked his lips and stared up at the onyx eyes, as the rain fell around them.
"Sasuke…listen to me," Naruto said softly, every word was an obvious effort. "I…I lied…about, everything-"
"Stop, stop Naruto, I know and I don't care-"
"I…do. I do need, saving…" Naruto continued, his eyes shimmering. "And I…always...needed it to be you." The deadpanned silence filled the dark air as Sasuke shook his head, trying to make Naruto to shut up.
"Naruto, stop-"
"S-Sasuke…I…" Naruto's eyes slowly lost its focus, as the rain dropped in time with Sasuke's tears. Sasuke gazed at Naruto, sudden fear and terror clenching his heart. Shaking Naruto slightly Sasuke whispered his name.
No response. Sasuke's eyes grew wild as he shook the boy's head.
"Naruto! ...Naruto!"
Ugh, I had two feelings while writing the end of this chapter. Sadness and "ICKK is this too cliché and cheesy? And the answer is….
Yes.
BUT I DON'T CARE. I think it's sweet…I know it pretty rough in some places, but this thing was almost 20 pages long on Word, and I tried to go over it, but I know I missed some things…consider this the unedited version, I might go back and re edit this.
Hope you've enjoyed it…
here's a question, should I just end it here? Or add more…? Anybody have suggestions? Comments?
