Chapter 11

Naruto stumbled forward, the thick metal restraints around his neck and wrists pulling him after Orochimaru.

"Nnnn.." he groaned, pain radiating from his foot.

It was still bloody and ragged from Kabuto's kunai. His adrenaline and fear had helped him forget for a while, but now that he was back on his feet the pain returned full force. Naruto winced as the collars steadily pulled him along. He slipped on the slick blood pooling beneath him, but quickly regained his footing.

He had no choice but to keep moving.

Just don't think about it, he told himself- trying to ignore pain in his foot and the throbbing in his head from when he had collided with the floor.

You don't have time to fucking feel sorry for yourself. You need to get ready if this is going to work. You have to move fast.

This is your only chance to escape.

Your only chance to stop him from..

He forced back the thought. He was not going to let that happen.

A door at the end of the hallway was left slightly ajar, and Orochimaru stepped confidently towards it.

That must be it.

His bedroom..

Naruto swallowed back his nerves and clenched his jaw tight as the snake led him inside.

Towards the bed.

It was enormous- even shoved against the wall at the far end of the room it took up most of the space. Thick wooden posts rose from each corner, looming over a dark stained comforter.

There were handcuffs hanging from each bedpost.

I'm not the only one he's brought in here.. Naruto thought with utter disgust.

A horrific thought suddenly stabbed into his mind. He never did this to Sasuke, did he..?

Sasuke had only been gone a few days when he left Konohagakure. That didn't seem like enough time for anything like that to have happened to him. But I've been gone for what- an hour? Maybe two? Clearly it doesn't take the snake long..

Naruto pushed back the thought. Later. I can talk to Sasuke when I get the fuck out of here.

The insistent collars yanked him closer to the bed, bringing him face to face with Orochimaru. Naruto held his breath as he moved towards him, watching the snake closely, waiting for his moment.

Orochimaru, eager to get his hands on the half-naked blonde, took a step forward. His eyes gleamed with excitement as the restraints pulled his prisoner over to him.. and to his bed.

Naruto held his breath as the snake leaned in and finally uttered,

"Stop".

Without hesitation, Naruto lunged and bashed his shackled wrists into the snake's face. Orochimaru stumbled back, covering his face as blood seeped from his shattered nose and a deep gash just above his eye. He snarled and threw his hand down, opening his mouth to shout a command, but Naruto was on him before he could.

He swept his foot out fast and slammed his hands over the snake's mouth. Wide golden eyes stared at him in shock as he shoved him back, sending both of them crashing to the floor.

Naruto dropped down on top of him, knees planted on either side of his hips as he kept his hands locked firmly over the man's mouth.

Orochimaru blinked up at the blonde, struggling to breathe through his constricted, blood-filled nostrils. His eyes narrowed and anger colored his face, making Naruto nervous. He knew it wouldn't be easy to keep the snake silent, but he wouldn't give up without a fight.

Do NOT let him speak, he reminded himself with fervor.You have to keep him quiet.

No matter what.

Naruto gritted his teeth hard as he bore down on him, desperate to keep the snake's commands trapped in the back of his throat.

The blonde's little plan definitely put the snake at a disadvantage. Orochimaru could no longer take control of Naruto's restraints, and he had made a grave error in choosing a chakra-blocked room for his.. activities. Clearly he had underestimated the jinchuriki. A mistake he would not make again. With little attack options to choose from, Orochimaru did the next best thing. He lashed out and grabbed Naruto's arms in a vice-like grip, yanking him down on top of him.

Naruto yelped, but managed to hold on.

Orochimaru's predatory gaze sharpened as he looked up at the blonde. He grabbed at his wrists and tried to pry his hands away from his face, but Naruto dug his fingers in hard, holding on with all of his strength.

"Nnnn-no!" he snarled between clenched teeth.

Orochimaru's eyes flashed with annoyance at first, but then something else floated to the surface. Something that set Naruto's teeth on edge and sent ice down his spine. Rough hands slipped down his arms, caressing his sides as they dropped to his hips.

Naruto jerked back, trying to stay out of reach, but the snake grabbed onto them and roughly forced them back down.

Cerulean eyes widened as panic shot through him. "Let me go!"

The fingers on his hips tightened, digging into tender flesh as he held him in place. Orochimaru lifted his torso to meet him and rolled against him, grinding his growing want against the blonde.

"No!! S-stop! Stop!"

He fought to escape the snake's grasp, but he had to stay close to keep his mouth covered. Orochimaru grinned behind his hand and slid long chilled fingers beneath the thin fabric of Naruto's boxers.

Naruto gasped as his hands moved lower, and his fear quickly morphed from sheer panic to burning rage.

"I said NO!"

Naruto jerked his knee up fast, smashing it into the snake's crotch. A cry caught in the snake's throat, and his eyes squeezed shut against the pain. While he was distracted, Naruto pulled back one arm and slammed his fist into his face. Orochimaru's head snapped to the side, and he opened his mouth to speak, but he wasn't fast enough. Naruto grabbed him by the throat and squeezed down hard, silencing him. The snake clawed at his hands, but Naruto refused to let go.

If he could just hold on long enough, the bastard would pass out and then he could try to escape.

He needed this to work.

He kept his eyes locked onto the snake's face, looking for any sign of his consciousness fading.

Orochimaru glared up at him, forcing back the darkness.

He wasn't done with the blonde yet.

He tangled his legs in Naruto's and threw his body to the side, forcing the jinchuriki to the ground. He rolled on top of him, and pressed close, reminding Naruto why he was brought in there in the first place.

Naruto kept his hold around the snake's throat and squeezed as hard as he could, but his grip was weakening. He could barely hold on.

He'll pass out.

Any second now.

He has to.

Right..?

Blood fell from Orochimaru's broken nose as he propped himself up on his forearm, but it no longer seemed to faze him. His eyes glinted wickedly as he reached down. To Naruto's utmost horror, he managed to pull his boxers down his thigh, before fumbling with his own clothes. He had every intention of following through on his threats before his consciousness and his chance slipped away.

He would take what he could get.

Naruto clenched his hands tight, kicking his legs out, trying to keep him away, but Orochimaru grabbed his thigh with bruising force and forced his legs apart.

Naruto screamed as Orochimaru pulled out his throbbing length and lowered himself, his rough hand running along his bare thigh.

"N-no! NO!! Stop- please!!"

Naruto tried to throw his body to the side, but he couldn't get any leverage. Orochimaru wasn't giving up.

Please- PLEASE!! This has to work. It has to!

Please!!

Naruto flinched violently as the snake moved against him, and then Orochimaru's hand froze.

The blonde stared up at him, confused and hopeful. He could see those golden eyes begin to cloud over, his gaze become unfocused. Darkness was closing in; Naruto could see it and the snake could feel it. Orochimaru tried desperately to fight it, and for one horrifying moment his vision cleared. But darkness always wins. It closed in on him, consuming his thoughts.. and his wants.

Naruto watched as Orochimaru's eyes flickered, the light in them finally going out. Then they rolled back and the man collapsed on top of him.

As repulsive as it was to have Orochimaru's body pressed firmly against his own, Naruto waited a little longer before releasing him. He needed to be sure that this wasn't a trick. That he really was unconscious.

With bated breath, he slowly loosened his grip. To his utmost relief, Orochimaru's body stayed limp.

Naruto quickly shoved him away and yanked his boxers back up, readjusted his sparse clothing as he scrambled back. His throat clicked when his back slammed into the wall. He swallowed the sob that desperately fought to escape.

"F-fuck.." he breathed, his voice trembling. "Ok. Ok. It's ok. You're- you're ok.."

Naruto shifted his gaze from the unconscious snake down to his bloody foot. None of this is going to matter if I leave behind a bloody trail..

Despite his restrained wrists and trembling fingers, Naruto managed to tear off a thick piece of his shirt. He wrapped his foot with the cloth and tied it off tight, making sure to staunch off the bleeding. He wiped away the blood that had slipped from the cut buried somewhere in his hair, smearing it across his face. Luckily, his hair had soaked up most of it.

Satisfied that he wouldn't leave any trace of his escape, Naruto clumsily rose to his feet, keeping his eyes locked on the man splayed out on the floor. He had no way of getting the collars off of his wrists and throat, but he was hoping to put enough distance between them that Orochimaru wouldn't be able to take control of them again.

Still wary of Orochimaru's listless form, Naruto rushed over to the door and peered into the hallway before slipping into the dim corridor. Keeping his feet as silent as possible, he raced down the hall, frantically trying to find a way out.

He didn't make it as far as he had hoped before he heard a noise echoing up the halls from behind him. A cry, angry and intense- like an infuriated beast on a rampage- flooded the space around him, making the hair on his arms rise.

Fuck.

Naruto ran hard- keeping his locked wrists close to his chest, praying he wouldn't lose his footing. He knew he didn't have a single moment to spare.

Orochimaru was up, and he was coming for him.

And if he gets too close.. he'll will be able to command the collars again.

He'll make me come back.

He didn't know how close was "too close", but he didn't want to have to find out the hard way.

Another burst of anger reverberated up the hall. This one was closer.

"Come on.." he whispered to himself, moving fast as he followed a bend in the corridor. "Just fucking move, just keep-"

Someone suddenly lurched out and grabbed him, yanking him back into a hidden room. Naruto opened his mouth to scream, but a hand slammed down over it, stifling his cries. He tried to pull away, but an arm wrapped tight around his waist and pulled him close.

"Mmmpphhh!!"

Naruto flinched when he felt something against his ear, but the palm smashed against his lips pressed tighter, locking him in place.

He could feel the man's breath as it penetrated his lobe and slipped down his neck, sending chills down his spine.

"Mmpph.." he pleaded weakly, uselessly, as the hand around his waist slipped to his chained wrists.

Ignoring his protests, the lips against his ear pressed closer.

"Shh."

Author Note:

I revised this chapter a million times and I'm still not totally satisfied, but this was the best I could come up with. I don't know. I hope it felt suspenseful, and that the cliffhanger made you curious, because that was the goal.

Thank you so much for sticking with my story- I truly appreciate it.

Alright~ time for the next chapter! :)
