A/N

: Yes, finally finished!!!

So everyone I started high school at the beginning of this month (yay) and so as an experiment I wanted to see the maximum speed that I could get chapters out. This is your answer, sorry, I'll try my best.

Well anyhoo, here's chapter 3, hope you enjoy!!!

Warning: SasuNaru, yaoi, rape, violence, some language, and lemon in later chapters AND I know Naru-chan is pretty OOC right now, but he'll be back to normal soon, I promise

Disclaimer: Nope, Naruto isn't mine

Sasuke blinked groggily as he slowly rejoined the conscious world. He jumped a little when he saw the sleeping face only centimeters in front of his own. What the…Oh right, I slept here with him.

A soft sigh escaped his lips. Naruto would never believe him of course, but he felt absolutely horrible about last night. The kitsune's screams had haunted his dreams. He really didn't want the blond to suffer anymore but he had to follow orders. Even so, his loyalty towards Orochimaru was slowly being overshadowed by his guilt towards Naruto. It was a losing battle trying to stop this from happening and this only became painfully clear as Sasuke stared at the face in front of him.

Any color that had returned to Naruto's features was now completely gone. There was a sort of peaceful sadness on his face. Sasuke couldn't help but gaze endlessly, soaking in the serene image, until the blond shifted and slowly opened his eyes.

"WHAT THE FUCK UCHIHA?!!" Naruto yelled, startled to see Sasuke so close to him and staring so intensely. He gave the brunette a disgusted look and then pushed him off the bed.

Unfortunately for the blond he didn't realize he was actually so weak (he'd only been able to push Sasuke off because of a burst of adrenaline that resulted from being startled). He was caught by a sudden light-headedness and went crashing down on top of the brunette.

"Ow!" both boys exclaimed in unison. Naruto didn't have enough energy to pick himself up so he just fidgeted into a more comfortable position. What he didn't realize was that his head was turned so that every breath he took flushed warmth over Sasuke's neck. He was getting goose bumps but he wouldn't dare tell this to the blond.

"Dobe," Sasuke mumbled affectionately. He'd admit that he was enjoying the warmth from the body on top of him a little more than he should.

Naruto's breath hitched at the familiar nickname, but he shoved down the memories and stifled the emotions. "Go to hell."

They lay like that for a few more seconds before Sasuke noticed how uncomfortably hot Naruto was. "Shit, you're burning up," he said alarmed, but of course his Uchiha blood didn't let it show through.

"So what?" the blond snapped back. He knew what Sasuke was implying but it's not like it mattered if he was sick or not. He hadn't been truly 'well' in a long time.

"So get back in bed," then he thought about what his concern implied and added, "If you get worse it'll be my ass on the line."

Sasuke quickly went into the bathroom and prepared a cool cloth for Naruto's head

Meanwhile, said boy was laughing darkly at the irony of what Sasuke had said. Trust me Sasuke; either way it goes, I'm sure it'll be my ass on the line here.

The kitsune lay in bed staring up at the ceiling when the object of his thoughts walked back in and placed a cloth on his forehead.

"I'm not eating anything so don't waste your time. Just let me sleep." To emphasize his point Naruto turned to face the wall and closed his eyes so that there was no room left for argument.

Sasuke sighed. "I'm going to take a shower then."

What the hell is wrong with him?!

He's ANBU so I'm sure he knows what I did and how vulnerable his condition is right now, but he's acting like he doesn't even care if he dies.

Sasuke stood in the shower, glaring down at the water as it turned pink from all the blood that was washing off his skin. He was just angry.

Angry at himself for letting everything get so fucked up; angry at Orochimaru for traumatizing Naruto to the point of giving up.

The kitsune's entire life had revolved around never quitting. That had always been his nindo yet here he was totally ignoring it.

However the person whom he was most angry with was Naruto himself. He was angry at him for giving up and because he wasn't acting like himself anymore. The usual Naruto would've smiled more and forced Sasuke to come back. At the very least he never would've stopped fighting.

His pale hand collided with the shower wall and more blood mingled in with the water.

**

Naruto didn't really go to sleep. He hadn't slept for a long long time. Occasionally exhaustion would catch him off guard, but he fought it as best he could. Last night didn't count because his body had literally forced him into passing out, and luckily he hadn't had any nightmares. They always started off with the battle between Sasuke and himself and from there it always spiraled into hell.

If he wasn't having a nightmare then he was having a dream about how things used to be, back before he was captured and tortured here. His dream was right within his grasp. He was next in line to become Hokage, Sakura was showing interest in him, Hinata had been brave enough to confess her feelings, and everyone in the village was finally accepting him for who he was. Basically, everything was going just as he'd planned…..well almost everything.

He couldn't explain it but there was a constant force that kept tugging at the back of his mind telling him that something was missing from his perfect life. He'd never acknowledge it, but ever since Sasuke had taken him in as a 'roommate' the feeling had been totally gone.

Naruto was so lost in thought that he didn't even notice the figure walk up behind him. Before he could even think about screaming he was gagged, blindfolded, and dragged by the hair out of the room. He hadn't the slightest idea who was taking him away but he did know that at that moment he wished desperately that Sasuke would save him.

**

Sasuke didn't realize Naruto was gone until 30 minutes ate when he'd gotten out of the bathroom – fully dressed and with a bandaged hand. His body trembled violently as he tried to refrain form punching the wall again. At first he thought Naruto had just run off but he knew better than that so that only left one other option: kidnapping.

Orochimaru, the brunette thought heatedly, growling low in his throat.

He clenched and unclenched his fists as he flew down the hallway to Orochimaru's room. With one shallow breath to try and calm his nerves he walked into see Orochimaru sitting on his bed.

"Hello Sasuke-kun," he hissed in a monotone voice. Sasuke knew immediately that something was off.

"Orochimaru." The Uchiha bowed curtly in greeting.

"Can I help you with something?"

"Yes actually. I'd like you to return Naruto back to me so that I can finish healing him like you asked," he grit his teeth to hide the anger from his voice.

For some reason this request enraged Orochimaru. "What the hell makes you think you're worthy enough to take care of him? Clearly if someone was able to take him from right under your nose then you can't be trusted!"

Sasuke clenched his teeth tightly. "It was only a fluke. I promise you I won't let it happen again. Besides, weren't you the one who wanted me specifically to handle this task?"

"Well obviously things have changed due to the circumstances. I've entrusted Kabuto with the task instead," he hissed smirking evilly. Orochimaru and Sasuke both knew that Kabuto would show absolutely no mercy towards anyone. His healing abilities were strong enough to rival even Tsunade's and this scared Sasuke even more, because Kabuto could hurt Naruto to near death just to revive him at the last second. In fact, he'll probably end up doing more harm than good.

"Giving him to Kabuto will only make his condition worse or cause permanent damage and you know it." Sasuke was slowly starting to panic on the inside but he didn't let it show. However, he knew that this conversation needed to be over fast if he planned on getting to Naruto before something really bad happened. Kabuto was a big fan of experimenting.

Unfortunately all hope of this going quickly ended when Orochimaru threw his head back and laughed.

"Sasuke-kun you're so naïve," he said as he stood and walked over to the younger boy, "Kabuto would never disobey my orders."

"Hn, I wouldn't be so sure about that." A hateful glare made him hold his tongue.

"Actually Sasuke, I know Kabuto very well and so I gave him an alternative to hurting little Naru-chan." The snake leaned in close to Sasuke, his rotten breath caressing the pale ear as he whispered, "I told Kabuto to break him."

**

A very small part of Naruto was thankful for the distraction from all of his haunted memories.

The rest of him was screaming in protest against his kidnapper. They'd picked the perfect time to take him too: he was sick and chakra-less.

His cry of pain was muffled by the gag in his mouth as he was lifted up by his hair and dropped onto a hard metal table. The blindfold over his eyes was yanked off and as his eyes adjusted he realized where he was. Fuck, this is Kabuto's lab room. He sighed internally, I wonder what he's gonna' try this time.

As soon as the thought crossed his mind, said person moved in front of him. "Wow Naruto-kun, what happened to you? You look awful," he asked with mock confusion.

"Go to hell Kabuto," Naruto growled after his gag was removed.

"Oh feisty I see. I haven't seen you like this since the first day you got here. Looks like seeing Sasuke gave you some fight back. I'm sure Orochimaru-sama will have fun with that."

Naruto's entire body instantly tensed and Kabuto just laughed at the reaction. He enjoyed poking fun at the blond.

"Alright well let's get started with your treatment." Naruto's eyes widened in dread as he watched Kabuto's hands fill with green chakra and hover just above his body. Green chakra was meant for healing but Kabuto had managed to take it to a whole other level. Instead of just healing people, he managed to use the chakra to probe inside of people's body and damage them internally. He could pull open someone's lungs so that they'd drown in there own blood or squeeze there heart so that it couldn't beat anymore.

However it wasn't just the fact that Kabuto caused mind-numbing pain – Naruto could handle that – it was the fact that he would let death wrap its arms around his victim only to heal them so that they could relive it all over. That was the part that really messed with Naruto's mind and literally drove him insane. He'd been so close to the bliss of death once that he swore he saw his father waiting for him on the 'other side'.

Now the blond lay there paranoid as he felt Kabuto's chakra prodding around in his body. He was scared to even breathe because he knew the slightest thing could make Kabuto decide to start hurting him.

Naruto kept his eyes glued shut, waiting impatiently for the pain to start, but it never came.

Instead, after Kabuto's hands moved away he felt something hot and wet shove its way into his mouth. Dull-blue eyes shot open in fear and vomit was already burning at the back of his throat. Instinctively, Naruto clamped down hard on the tongue probing his mouth. I hope he didn't honestly think I would let him get away with that. I'm not going to play the victim and be his little sex toy. Even without him I have enough of that waiting in my future……

"Shit!" Kabuto cried out in pain, spitting the blood from his mouth right into Naruto's face. "Orochimaru-sama was right, you've gotten bold. This is the perfect time to run some tests on you."

"There's nothing you can do that you haven't done already. You can't make things any worse than they already are." Naruto knew very well all the little experiments that Kabuto had tried on him and none of them were worse than Orochimaru.

"Oh on the contrary, Orochimaru-sama and I have developed a whole new experiment especially for you Naruto-kun. It'll probably be the most painful of all the tests we've done, but Orochimaru-sama will be extremely pleased with the results," Kabuto explained as he began gathering all the materials he'd need for the experiment.

Naruto was getting a little nervous but he wasn't scared of some stupid procedure. They wouldn't mutate him or anything like that; they usually just did things that would hurt him.

Even so, in the back of his mind, he still wished Sasuke would rescue him.

**

"I highly doubt you can break him Orochimaru," Sasuke said, "How do you break something that's already been shattered to pieces?" He was almost saddened by the truth of his own words.

"Well I still feel that it was in my best interest to leave Naruto-chan with Kabuto. Why do you wish to have him back so badly?"

"I've been enjoying his suffering. It's nice to have the loser out of my way and at my mercy." Sasuke smirked slightly.

"You lying little shit!" Orochimaru roared, snatching the Uchiha by his collar and glaring into his face. "If you're so damn happy so see him in pain then why the hell were you cuddled up with him yesterday?!"

Onyx eyes widened at being caught, but still flamed with anger about being treated this way.

"Yea I caught you so don't try to lie your way out Sasuke." Orochimaru was surprised when Sasuke suddenly started laughing.

"Ok I can't keep pretending like I actually care because I think it's been actually rubbing off on me. This whole thing has just been a game to me. I mean, have you even considered that maybe I'm trying to break him too?" Sasuke asked darkly. When the pale man in front of him didn't respond he continued, "Clearly you've forgotten that I'm an old friend of his and so if I could lead him into a false hope then watching him suffer in the end would be even more satisfying. I guess recently I've been getting a little too into my role."

He was slowly released from Orochimaru's grasp. The snake just smirked and then licked his lips at the thought of how delicious it would be to watch Naruto suffer at the hands of his dearest friend. "Very well then, I shall allow you to continue your little charade."

Sasuke just smirked and turned to leave.

"Just remember one thing Uchiha: Naruto is mine. I don't care if you are merely pretending; don't touch him unless it's necessary."

"Oh please," Sasuke scoffed, "like I want to touch that little monster. I just want some entertainment. You can have him."

Once he was finally out of that room he was relieved. Confessing all that to Orochimaru helped burry the emotions that he was feeling towards Naruto. He refused to revert back to the defenseless little weakling he used to be when emotions ruled over his actions.

Meanwhile Naruto had heard everything that Sasuke had just said about him. Orochimaru and Kabuto had created a jutsu that worked almost like walky-talkies but it was transmitted inside the brain like thoughts and they used it specifically for this purpose. All they had to do was focus it on Naruto, which wasn't hard since he was in the middle of a procedure and already restrained. Sasuke's words had created an ache in his chest that made the experiment seem insignificant.

Once Kabuto had finished he took the liberty of healing up Naruto's injuries. He would still be sick and weak for a little while but he looked practically perfect. All the color had returned to his face, the scars and bruises were all totally gone, and nothing was broken…well no more bones were broken. Looking into his eyes was the only way someone would be able to tell that something was even remotely wrong.

Looking into the once vibrant eyes all you could see was hurt, betrayal, and hopelessness. Everyone just wants to drag me deeper into hell until the fire burns my soul right out.
