Naruto sat hunched against the doorway, his legs splayed out in front of him. His heart lurched as a cold shiver ran up his spine when the distant footsteps came in closer. He immediately turned his head opposite the entrance when he heard the voice.

A hand reached down and lifted Naruto's chin to his own eye level. "The nosebleed has seemed to stop."

Naruto lurched backward when the sudden voice came from behind the one who held his chin. "Kabuto, and what of his internal bleeding?"

"His cells should return to normal in a matter of hours. So should his heart beat. Mostly the medicine caused this but it's also that he hasn't eaten in a few days and that he's lost so much blood in the meantime."

Naruto attempted to release the grip on his chin but was instantly pulled back to face Kabuto. His snake-like eyes stared down at him, a sharp smile stretching across his face. "Look here, Naruto-kun." He chuckled menacingly.

The blond gritted his teeth and growled beneath his breath, his dull blue pupils showing through his slit eyelids. "Let me go," He struggled to say.

Kabuto smirked at the boy's response. In the exact moment the back of his coat lifted and and the snake's head peered out at the scene.

Seeing this, Naruto lifted his arm and tried to push away at Kabuto. He held him firmly still.

The snake slithered out towards Naruto's direction, its tongue licking back and forth. In a matter of moments it had made it to Naruto's left side and crawled onto his stomach, pushing itself upward and around the boy's body. Wrapping around his back and up toward his neck; flicking its tongue at Naruto's closed eyes.

He was shivering in pure and utter fear, hoping he could escape the reptile's cold gaze. Beads of sweat were puddling from his forehead and the back of his neck as his hairs stood on end. "Damn it..."

"Don't be so rude. He's my friend, you know." Kabuto removed his hand from Naruto's chin and placed it on the snake's head. "Kawaii."

Naruto flicked his head away from the snake and leaped to his feet, managing to make it several paces before a hand smashed into his chest and pushed him backward.

The hand pushed him and caused him to fall back to the cold stone of the ground. He gasped deeply when he felt something soft slither to the back of his head and raised Naruto from the cement. The snake had made it in the final moment before the boy's head slammed into the ground.

Madara, whom had pushed him, reached down to pull Naruto roughly back to his feet. "Don't test me, Kyuubi."

"Up and about already, Naruto-kun?" Kabuto stood up from his kneeling position and chuckled softly as the snake returned to the shelter of his blood-red cloak. "Madara, I think maybe now is the time."

What are they talking about? What for? Naruto was in an utter and complete state of confusion.

Kabuto grabbed the scruff of his t-shirt and pulled him forward. Naruto struggled in their grasp as Madara gripped his arm and dragged him out of the bathroom and past several dark rooms against a long, echoing hallway. "Let me go!"

Kabuto continually shook the blond when he squirmed 'too much'. "Quit it, Naruto-kun."

Naruto only continued. "Stop calling me 'kun and let me go!"

The man chuckled behind him. "The last time I checked you were our prisoner, Naruto-kun."

The blonde has burnt his last fuse. He was tired, hungry, in pain inside and out, covered in cuts and bruises, mentally unstable now, and was constantly fighting the urge to slap that stupid smirk from Kabuto's face. "I said to let me the fuck go!" He ripped from both men's grips and dashed down the hallway into the opposite direction they were leading him. He quickly glanced backward to find that the two were merely standing there, staring at him as he ran. Why aren't they coming after me!?

He crashed into something hard in front of him, instantly crashing to the ground.

A pale hand reached for him and lifted him up. "Dobe, cut it out."

Naruto stared into those black eyes in completely mixed emotions. Both fear, anger, and confusion clouded his thoughts from flowing steadily. "Let me go, Sasuke!"

The Uchiha only glanced at him once and pushed him forward into the arms of Madara. His mask showed his two eyes which only glared down at the blond. Both Sharingan and Rinnegan stared at him menacingly.

Naruto still struggled in his grip but soon stopped as he began to feel the masked man's fingers dig into his injured arm. He closed his eyes and grit his teeth in pain.

"Listen to Sasuke-kun...Naruto-kun." Kabuto snickered.

"Chikusho..." The Uzumaki felt utterly defeated. Why the hell didn't Sasuke help me? He could've at the very least allowed me to break for it even if I didn't make it far.

Madara pulled at him once again;this time keeping Naruto firmly in his grasp.

The halls only seemed to continue, now. Nothing but empty rooms or rooms too dark you couldn't see what may have been kept inside.

Finally, one room in particular was entered by the four. Not any different from the other ones except it was one of THOSE rooms. The one's that were pitch black, inside where nothing could be seen with the naked eye.

Kabuto moved from his place behind Naruto and stepped in front of Madara to one side of the doorway.

Naruto's blood ran cold at the frightening smirk the snake gave him before ewitching what seemed to be a light switch.

A bright, white light flickered before at last it illuminated the room to reveal a single silver table in the center, a box of 'tools' off to the side.

Sorry for being soo late. I hope you enjoy this and please remember to leave reviews. They really help with my self-esteem.
