"Naruto? What's wrong?" Kabuto didn't sound like he actually cared; he stepped backward from the Kyuubi in distaste.
Naruto didn't answer.
"Come on, Orochimaru-sama wishes to see you now," said Kabuto impatiently.
He felt so...disappointed, and scared. Scared of Sasuke, scared of Orochimaru, and scared of what was happening to him. Why was his scared of his best friend? Why had Sasuke said those things to him? Naruto's fingers clung to the fabric of his jacket as he wrapped his arms tightly around himself. Kabuto paused, his eyes assessing the younger male quickly before asking, "Did he hurt you?"
Did he? Naruto couldn't remember. Surely Kabuto didn't mean the pain in his chest.
He shook his head, leaning forward slightly to let his hair cover his eyes. He felt torn open; vulnerable. He wanted to run away.
They continued walking, and the trip was not cheerful like before. The two men were quiet, immersed in their thoughts. Kabuto didn't say anything more, and Naruto felt like he would die if he tried to speak. He felt...ashamed.
"Naruto-kun?"
Naruto nearly jumped a foot in the air, and his face flooded with heat. Comforting hands landed on his shoulders, and he was pulled beside a warm body mass. Orochimaru-sama's arm wrapped around his waist, but Naruto was too flustered to look up. Was this how normal people felt after having sex? He felt his face flush even more.
"Thank you, Kabuto. You can go now," said Orochimaru dismissively, his hand lazily rubbing Naruto's side.
There was a sigh of annoyance, and the sound of footsteps fading away.
Orochimaru gently tugged him into the familiar room, and he only stared a minute before murmuring, "Are you alright, Naruto-kun?" in his creepily affectionate voice.
"A-anou…" He could barely get that out. He bit down hard on his lip and tried to ignore his embarrassment. Orochimaru's hand stroke over his cheek, and gently tilted his face up. Naruto blushingly looked into the serpentine yellow eyes. Orochimaru's face held concern.
"You spoke to Sasuke, what happened?"
Naruto cringed a bit.
"I—I'm scared of him," he whispered. The words came out before he could stop them, and after he said it he brought both hands up to cover his mouth. He didn't feel like himself. He felt like he was different, and he couldn't control it.
Orochimaru frowned, looking extremely displeased.
"Why?"
"I—I can't remember. I can't remember anything! I HATE THIS!" Naruto began to pace around the room, digging his fingers into his hair.
"Naruto-kun, perhaps I can help you remember. Please, sit down." Orochimaru smirked at him, seeming almost amused by his tirade.
"I don't even KNOW you! How do I know you won't just be lying! I need to talk to Sakura! Or Kakashi! I can't—"
"Naruto," Orochimaru interrupted, his eyes flashing, "when I said you were mine I meant it. Obey," he hissed.
Naruto was frozen. Obey? What was he, a slave?
"Sit down." It was a warning this time, and Naruto obeyed. Orochimaru's lips curled back up, and the face was no longer so frightened.
"Good," he purred. He beckoned, and Naruto obediently scooted closer.
"Now, I'm going to tell you all I know of your past. You are the carrier of the Kyuubi. The last time I saw you was three years ago, when you were twelve years old and participating in the Chuunin exams. You and Sasuke are now both fifteen years old." Orochimaru said this in a complete monotone, not seeming to notice Naruto's extreme shock.
"Sasuke came here to be trained by me, and from what I heard, you did quite a bit of training yourself. You did not want Sasuke to be trained by me. You constantly searched for him, and you constantly begged for him to come back. Exactly one week ago, you and Sasuke fought." Orochimaru paused, his eyes boring into Naruto's.
"Wait—why did we fight? Why didn't I want Sasuke to come here?"
Orochimaru pursed his lips, mulling his questions over.
"You didn't trust me. I am no longer a part of your village. You didn't want Sasuke to leave the village. You two fought because you were trying to take Sasuke back by force. Sasuke—" The pale man inhaled deeply, "Sasuke nearly killed you. I suspect whatever he did is what made you lose your memories."
"I can't access my chakra. D-did Sasuke do that too?" Tears were leaking out of Naruto's eyes. Everything Sasuke said made sense. He was too mortified to brush the tears away from his face; he normally wouldn't show such weakness.
"I don't know what happened, Naruto-kun," he said gently. "All I know is, one second Sasuke was staring at you, and then the next, you were screaming. It was rather…gruesome. I will admit, Sasuke seemed surprised by the strength of your pain. I do not think he intended—" Whatever Orochimaru saw in Naruto's face seemed to cut off his speech. Naruto sobbed. It hurt, and he couldn't even feel embarrassment at his tears. Sasuke had nearly killed him. Sasuke had taken away his chakra.
Orochimaru enfolded him in a hug. Naruto accepted the affection easily, shoulders shaking softly as he was held. Orochimaru's hands stroked through his hair, and Naruto sunk into his arms. The vulnerable feeling returned, and Naruto clung more tightly to the older man as he gently brushed away his tears.
"Come here," Orochimaru murmured. He guided Naruto, gripping his face as he gently pressed their lips together. Naruto tried to pull away, but Orochimaru's fingers tightened warningly on the Jinchuuriki's jaw. He pulled away after only a few seconds, his eyes glittering again.
"I don't want to drug you again, Naruto. I want you to submit willingly to me. I don't want there to be a constant struggle between us." His fingers stroked over the whisker marks on Naruto's face, and the younger shinobi blushed, unable to hold Orochimaru's gaze. Drug? So that was the hazy feeling caused by the lantern, he was made to submit. A bit of weight seemed to lift off of Naruto's shoulders, and he felt more confident in his speech.
"B-but…I don't even know you. I was told that two people were supposed to love each other…"
"You were misinformed, Naruto-kun. Sex is about trust, and about pleasure. I am here to protect you from Sasuke, and keep you out of harms way. Though sex is a part of loving relationships, it does not always have to start with love." His fingers made their way down Naruto's neck, and the blonde's breathing hitched.
"I would very much like you to trust me, and as I said before, you are already mine. The only things separating us now are the terms."
"T-terms?" Orochimaru's warm breath was on his neck, making him tremble with nervousness.
"Yes Naruto-kun, the terms. You can both agree to my rules, and agree to be mine willingly, or this will be a very painful road for you. You will eventually bend before me either way. The first is just simpler, and much nicer for both of us."
The smirk was chilling.
"I do not wish to harm you."
Naruto bit back a rude remark, his canine teeth sinking into his lip. He couldn't do this. He could allow this man to own him like an animal. Orochimaru's eyes grew lighter, and his smirk wider as he watched Naruto's struggles. Dread crept into his heart, and Naruto lowered his head in submission.
"Yes, Orochimaru-sama."
He could practically feel the triumph rolling off of the snake-like man.
"Call me master, now Naruto-kun."
Naruto hesitated for only a moment.
"Yes master."
Orochimaru's hot breath was on his neck, and Naruto could not hear his own breathless noises over the loud pattering of the shower. Orochimaru's hands caressed him, keeping their wet bodies tightly locked together. The snake-man's hands guided his own, spreading soap across his front. The taller man's body was warm against his back, and Naruto's knees trembled with the sensation.
Their locked hands traveled downward, toward the dark black curse seal around Naruto's navel. Orochimaru guided them to gently tracing the black markings. Naruto shivered in the hot spray of water, the languid movements hopelessly arousing.
Orochimaru's teeth grazed his earlobe. Naruto's breathing stuttered.
Orochimaru gently turned Naruto around so they were nose to nose, and Naruto shyly ran his fingers over the older man's shoulders, gently touching the wet white skin there. The snake-man seemed pleased by his action, as he pressed their lips together and began practically grinding Naruto into the wall. Orochimaru's mouth, and the loud spray of the shower against the blue tiles drowned Naruto's soft groans out.
Naruto's brain felt cloudy, and he succumbed to the pleasurable feelings that his 'master' offered. It was all he could do, really. His best friend had betrayed him, and he had no idea what Tsunade had done. The only person who hadn't lied to him was Orochimaru, and he was willing to give up himself to be protected from the cruelty of the outside world.
A.N.: Did you catch it? DIDJA? DIDJA?
Well, I'll tell you then.
Naruto didn't seem to remember Orochimaru's lie from a previous chapter. Kabuto told him that he and Sasuke were there to be apprentices, and he had been close to Oro for a long time.
Just wanted to let you guys know, THAT WAS INTENTIONAL. XD I'm not a herpaderp of an author.
Okay, there was a bit of confusion about my last update. :P I'm going to try to clarify as much as I can without giving too much of the plot away.
Naruto memories are only up until the first half of the Chuunin exam. He has 'emotional memories' which are common with someone with amnesia, or someone who has repressed memories. Naruto has certain unexplained feelings about certain things, because those feelings happened during the time that he cannot access in his brain. His unexplained anger toward Tsunade, his feelings toward Sasuke, all of the feelings he can't explain.
I'm afraid I can't give away much more, because I want you to be as clueless as Naruto. ;D Just remember that Naruto—right now—has the mindset of a twelve year old boy. He's going to be very easy to manipulate, especially since he's so immature.
