Author's note; Here's the long awaited chapter I was talking about. Well, one of them. There's going to be a few more and an epilogue!

Now, those of you who are wondering if I'm adding chapters and not editing, that's exactly what I'm doing. Only because I'm going to focus on the major rewrite that will turn this into a trilogy and I'm going to publish it.

The chapters will be done within the week because I'm not adding that many, but I'm going to let you all know that we're close to the end of Help Me. Now, on with the chapter! I know it's short, but I promise they'll get a little longer. I'm so not used to writing these short chapters! x..x

Chapter 58

Sasuke

I couldn't help getting this weird feeling that I felt when I walked into my house. It was like my gut telling me something bad was about to happen and it was making me sick to my stomach.

I didn't bother taking my shoes off when I walked towards the television to look out the window to see that the living room light was on. I could see someone walking around, but I know for a fact that it doesn't look like Naruto.

Then it dawned on me; who in the fuck does that van belong to in front of our neighbor's house? I know personally that they don't have a van because it's an elderly couple. And they're in the south for the winter.

"Fucking hell!" I cursed loudly.

"Itachi! Get up! We have a major fucking problem!" I yelled as loud as I possibly could to make sure he heard me as I quickly went into the kitchen and grabbed one of our steak knives just as Itachi ran out into the living room.

"What's going on?" He asked, and he sounded angry at what I was doing, but I ignored the glare I was being given.

"Naruto is in trouble! Call Tsunade and the police." I said quickly and ran back out of the house before he could stop me. But I know he didn't follow me and listened to what I said. He knows when I'm serious and joking.

Crossing the street without falling was hard, but I managed as I slid to a stop on the side of the van. I quickly punctured the two wheels on my side before going back around and doing the same to the other two.

Now they can't go anywhere, but how I did this without being seen is beyond me. The unknown person in Naruto's house must not have been paying attention. And the guy must be a complete idiot for doing this alone.

A few minutes later, I managed to sneak up to the front of Naruto's house and take a peek at what's inside through the window in the living room. It was not good; Naruto was unconscious and tied pretty damn well. There was a pillow case over his head so I couldn't be completely sure if he was hit in the head or not.

"You have yet to tell me where I'm supposed to take this kid to do the trade off!" A voice yelled inside the house, making me jump slightly. But remembering who this voice belonged to made my blood boil.

Yaguro just had to have the guts to come here again without backup.

"The deal was that I got two hundred thousand for his ass while his father got eight hundred thousand." Yaguro yelled, and I froze. My breath catching in the back of my throat at his words.

I knew that man couldn't be trusted.

"What do you mean he never called?" Yaguro hissed, and for once, I'm actually shocked. His father had never planned to sell him? What the hell was going on?

But that's when I decided I've heard enough. I need to take action to make sure he doesn't get away. He's had free reign over his freedom for the last time.

I noticed that he didn't use the front door, so his point of entry would have been the back door.

Naruto unlocked the front door, but who's to say he left it unlocked? I can't make an entrance from the back door if it's been closed and locked back up to hide the fact he entered at all.

I can check to see if the back door is opened, but his kitchen is set up like mine; you can see the living room from the kitchen and Yaguro pacing like that will make me get caught. Then I remembered Naruto's bedroom window; he never locks it because he's always used it to escape from home before. He explained to me once that he leaves it unlocked so he could just leave in an instant.

This is the only chance I have until the police show up, and I have to make a move now or else I'll not get this chance again.

Quickly making sure that Yaguro wasn't facing the window, and making note that he's stopped pacing and is now standing over Naruto, that is until he starts kicking him and I take this chance to make a beeline for Naruto's window and quietly open it. Silently heaving myself into it and quietly onto Naruto's bed -which I'm glad doesn't squeak- and close the window behind me just enough because it closes loudly sometimes and I can't take that chance right now.

Quietly taking a deep breath. Wincing slightly when I heard Naruto cry out in pain and wondering if he's gagged under the pillow case because I haven't heard him curse loudly at whomever attacked him. I take this chance to walk across Naruto's room and open the door just a crack to peek out of it.

Yaguro's back is towards me now and he's grinding the heel of his boot into Naruto's covered face. Which makes it hard to tell if he's stepping on Naruto's nose or not, but if he is, it's probably broken by now.

"You little cunt, you probably enjoyed being raped when you were a kid too." Yaguro said, and it only made my blood boil hearing those words. "And guess what, it looks like your father still wants your slutty ass, knowing you're gay and all. I wonder what changed his mind. But that doesn't matter anymore, you owe me a lot of money and we have a couple of hours before anyone will find you. You're going to pay me back all that money right here, right now."

My eyes widened at his declaration and Naruto's muffled cries as I watched Yaguro remove his foot from Naruto's head and kick him onto his stomach. Proceeding with forcibly removing Naruto's clothes and I knew I didn't have much longer before something else would happen.

I kicked off my shoes quietly before I slipped out of Naruto's room, still having the advantage because Yaguro's back was still towards me -thank God- as I snuck up behind him. I don't know if he hasn't done much to Naruto yet, but there wasn't much time if he hasn't. And I need to be quick.

Taking this opportunity to send my foot into the side of Yaguro's face as hard as I could. It hurt, because I didn't have shoes on, but that didn't matter. Watching Yaguro fly off of Naruto like that and across the room towards the couch was enough to lift my mood.

I then threw myself at him and threw as many punches as I could onto his face before he could react and attack me. I know he's stronger than me, but the kick to his head must have dazed him more than he wanted because he couldn't even land a single hit on me. Just the way I was hoping for all of this to go.

About a moment later, the sound of sirens echoed in my ears before the front door suddenly burst open and I was pulled off the asshole I was trying to bludgeon to death with my fists out of pure rage. Only to find that Itachi had finally come into the picture.

"Naruto needs you, I'll look after him." He whispered into my ear when he let me go, nodding and I quickly rushed over to the blonde who wasn't moving.

"Naruto! Answer me!" I said loudly as I managed to pull the pillow case off of his head. Taking a mental note that he's probably pretty injured with how much blood was on the piece of cloth. Wincing when I saw that most of it was definitely from his obvious broken nose and that he must have been hit in the back of the head to knock him unconscious.

When he still didn't respond, I quickly pulled his pants up, taking a mental note that I definitely was a moment too late and untied his hands and feet. Hoping that he'd realize that he was being rescued and snap out of it.

"Naruto, I need to know if you're alright." I said quieter than earlier. I know he's awake, because staring out at absolutely nothing.

With a shaking hand, I check his pulse only to find it's really weak but he's definitely alive.

"Itachi, we need an ambulance. His pulse is weak." I said loudly just as a couple police officers rushed into the living room with a pair of EMT's behind them. Looks like Itachi anticipated the need and asked for one too.

"We'll take good care of him." One of them said, and I mentally flipped when it was a guy. Remembering Naruto's fear of male nurses thanks to the asshole that's being arrested right now.

"He's terrified of male nurses and the sort, so a female will have to help." I tell him. The EMT nodded and a woman took his place, much to my relief.

What happened after that was a humongous blur. I couldn't remember what all happened after they rolled Naruto out into the ambulance and one of the two cop cars that showed up drove away with Yaguro in the back.

I couldn't tell you what I told the police when they questioned me because I was so out of it. But I at least remember Itachi dragging me to the car, buckling me up and driving off to the hospital. That's when I snapped out of my daze and searched for my cell phone that I couldn't find.

"Gaara! We have to tell him to meet us at the hospital!" I said quickly. "And I'm going to murder his fucking father!" My mood was shifting too quickly for my tastes.

"I've already called him and his father, they're on their way to the hospital now and should be there before we do." Itachi said, no wonder it took him so long to get over there to help.

"Yaguro thought Naruto's father was going to fucking sell him!" I finally yelled in frustration. "He even has the fucking number that the bastard handed to him! But when they talked had to have been when he first got to the hospital for his back."

"If Yaguro talks, his father will be questioned and if Minato knows what's best for him, he would have kept that number to give to the police." Itachi said, and I could tell he wasn't at all happy with the man either. But we'll have to wait and see what happens when we get to the hospital to find out.
