-------------


”Kiba, what are you doing here?” Naruto asked. The boy sitting on the side of his bed talking a mile a minute quieted down. The grin on his face faded and a frown took its place.

”Visiting.” He said carefully, looking away. ”What else would I do here? Are you stupid?”

”You’re feeling guilty.”

”What of it?” Kiba snapped. He glared at Naruto. He didn’t like to show any vulnerabilities.

”You don’t need to.”

”Wouldn’t you?”

”It wasn’t your fault.”

”I should have stayed with you.”

”If you knew I was being targeted you would have.” Naruto sighed. ”I don’t have the energy to make you feel better about this. I’m sorry, but you’re not getting more from me.” Naruto said and rubbed his eyes with the heels of his hands.

It had been a week since the incident. A week since Sasuke had left. He hadn’t heard a word from him or about him. Naruto pretended not to care. He hadn’t expected anything anyway.

There were people around him almost all the time. Nobody unauthorized was allowed to come near him. Somebody was always close though. He was never alone. At the moment, Kiba was the only one. He was allowed because he had been approved by the Uchiha family. But nobody would tell him anything about Sasuke. Not like he had asked. He had some pride left.

Kiba nodded and smiled again. A fake one but Naruto didn’t have the energy to care. It was all going towards keeping him sane and out of depression. Not because Sasuke had left him. Oh no! But because he had no idea whatsoever what was going to happen to him now. And that he had no choice at all. It didn’t matter what he wanted. Only his new master’s will mattered.

He hoped he was going to Itachi. Not because he wanted him. Yes, Sasuke’s brother was a real good looker. Crazy, but still good looking. But Naruto didn’t want to become his because of that. He wanted to stay because his time in that mansion had been the best of his life as a toy. He had plenty of things. He got food as soon as he was hungry. He knew that he could never treat Itachi the way he had treated Sasuke and he assumed that being with him would be somewhat painful. But at least he wouldn’t have to move again. At least Itachi wouldn’t lock him in a room and come in only when he wanted to fuck. Well… He couldn’t be sure about that… He had seen Itachi’s divines around the house but what said that he didn’t have more locked up in rooms?

It really didn’t matter. His will didn’t matter. He didn’t matter. He could only look forward to the time he was leaving the hospital with somebody. Wait, was it something to look forward to?

He didn’t know why they kept him so long. He could only assume it was because of money. The hospital didn’t want to let him go as long as the Uchiha’s paid for his bed. But he was pretty sure he was going to be leaving soon. He had heard whispers not meant for his ears.

”How long will it take until you’re back in school?” Kiba asked, fiddling with the hems of his sweater. ”I have to say, it’s a bit boring without you…”

”I don’t know.” Naruto smiled a little. He didn’t think Kiba was lying. And it made him happy that he had had an impact on people in the short time he had spent in that school.

”Lee is not nearly as cheery as before. And I don’t think it’s anything Gaara-sama has done to make him feel that way. Sakura is more silent too. She doesn’t hit me nearly as much anymore.”

”Shouldn’t you be happy about that?”

”Making people angry is my favorite hobby! What fun is it to annoy people if they don’t get pissed about it?”

”You’re weird.”

”Well, thanks.” Kiba grinned. He glanced over at the clock on the wall and sighed. ”I have to go…” Kiba said and stood up. ”Somebody is coming to pick me up soon. I have to be downstairs. If it’s Gaara-sama and he has to wait for me, it won’t be pretty.”

”Okay.” Naruto nodded. Kiba grinned and headed to the door with his hands in his pockets. He wasn’t relaxed at all, even thought it seemed like it. He didn’t want Naruto to be sent away. He liked him. Against his better judgment. And he would miss him if he was gone. That he was blaming himself didn’t help one bit. It really felt like it was his fault. If he had stayed with him, none of this would have happened. Naruto would still go to school with them. He’d joke around and make everyday life a little brighter. Naruto would be with Sasuke, still as his favorite and not in here. Rejected.

They didn’t say more goodbyes. Kiba didn’t turn back as he walked out of the room and he didn’t look at the people around him. It was really better to stay out of this now. Naruto would surely be out of the hospital soon and then nobody knew what was going to happen to him. Yes, it was better to stay out. He would call Shino when he got back to the house. Shino never spoke much but he always had something to say that made Kiba feel better. Even though the words often had no meaning. Not even to Kiba. He wished that he could be with Shino all the time. He needed to talk to Shino.

--

Naruto didn’t bother to answer when he heard the knock on the door. The doctor or nurse would come in anyway. Why they bothered to knock at all was beyond him. A stupid respect thing for his master’s family name perhaps?

But no doctor or nurse entered the room. Instead there was another knock. Naruto frowned and tilted his head to the side. So no staff from the hospital. But there were still people watching him, right? Looking out for him? Because he really didn’t want to get in any form of contact with the people that had done this to him. He didn’t want them to come in and hurt him more. Because he knew they had not been punished for their actions. They were still in school. The Uchiha’s had done nothing so far. Sasuke had done nothing.

He held his breath as the door opened slowly, but the man looking in could never be mistaken for any of Naruto’s three torturers. Naruto let out the air in his lungs and looked at him in confusion. Jiraiya scanned the room before locking his eyes on Naruto over in the only bed.

”Hi there!” Jiraiya grinned. He opened his mouth to say something more when he was pushed through the door and almost fell to the floor.

”Are you going in anytime soon?” Tsunade shouted and flipped her hair over her shoulder.

”What’s wrong with you!” Jiraiya said and rubbed his shoulder where she had pushed him. He really didn’t expect an answer from her and didn’t get any either. She walked straight up to Naruto and leaned down, placing a kiss on his forehead.

”What was that for!” Naruto asked annoyed and smeared the lipstick on his head with the back of his hand in an attempt to get it off.

”At least he has no fever.”

”Why would I have a fever?”

”You just wanted a reason to kiss him like that didn’t you?” Jiraiya sat down in the chair next to Naruto’s bed for visitors, stretching out his legs.

”Excuse me for caring about him!” Tsunade huffed and crossed her arms under her breasts which only made them look even bigger.

Naruto looked between the two vice principals as they continued to bicker between themselves about who was a pervert and who was an old hag.

”Excuse me.” Naruto said and raised his hand in the air making the two of them look at him. ”What the hell are you two doing here?”

”Show some respect!” Tsunade hit Naruto over the head making him clutch his head between his hands.

”Oh shit…!” He mumbled. ”How about not hitting the one with a concussion over the head?” he asked and leaned back on his pillows again. Tsunade paled and looked like she had been caught doing something bad. Which she had really. She shouldn’t have done that. Jiraiya only chuckled from his place in the chair receiving a glare of doom from his female coworker, which was promptly ignored.

”What are you doing here? Naruto asked again as his head stopped spinning. ”I doubt it’s procedure to come to visit a hospitalized divine. Especially not both of you. Him, I can understand…” Naruto nodded towards Jiraiya. ”He’s the vice principal responsible of the divines after all.” He turned his head towards Tsunade. ”But you?” Tsunade bit her lower lip and looked away from Naruto’s eyes. Naruto turned his attention back towards the old man in the chair.

”We were just worried about you, kid. We would have come sooner but they wouldn’t let us in. Can you believe that? Not even us. Tsunade-hime over there had to call in some favors, which she hates by the way, and we finally got in.”

”Why go through the trouble?” Naruto asked bored. He had not asked for their life story. He only wanted to know why they were there. He didn’t care how.

”Well haven’t you turned bitter from the last time I saw you.” Jiraiya sing-songed, smirking.

”Don’t think you know me for meeting me once.” Naruto huffed annoyed.

”I’ve been watching you in school ever since you started. And we’ve met many times when you were younger. But I guess you were too young to remember.” Jiraiya inspected his fingernails and frowned as he saw some dirt under one nail.

”You have been watching me in school? What kind of pervert are you? Stalking male toys?”

”Ew! Don’t make me puke, kid!” Jiraiya scrunched up his face and stuck out his tongue, as if he had tasted something bad. ”I have no interest whatsoever in you that way!”

”Would you stop it, you old fart!” Tsunade huffed. She turned to Naruto and sat down next to him on the edge of the bed, where Kiba had been sitting prior. ”We’re here because we were worried about you.” She smiled reassuringly. Naruto got suspicious. ”We used to know you when you were a little kid. Before the tragedy.”

Naruto narrowed his eyes, looking between the two of them.

”I’d like you to leave.” He growled. He had completely missed the part where Jiraiya had said they had met when he was a kid, the first time. But now he remembered that part too. He had been somewhat distracted, hearing he had been watched his whole time in that school. Even though it was a short time.

”Naruto, we want to help you.” Tsunade said, looking peeved at the fact that he was trying to throw them out.

”I’ve been ’helped’ by my father’s old friends before. Because of them I’m where I am today. Yeah, they helped me tons. All they wanted was the company and me out of the way.”

”Naruto you don’t know much about what really happened back then.” Tsunade said, straightening out her blouse.

”Iruka-sensei told me what the newspapers had said when I was at the orphanage. I think that’s enough. I know what happened. I know he was murdered. It was me that found him. Do you remember that? Because I do. And I know for damn sure what happened after Iruka left the orphanage. I know what kind of people that got me out of there. I know the people who changed my papers. Because of ’people that knew me when I was a little kid’ I’m a fuck toy. Please, excuse me if I don’t trust you two.”

”We didn’t ask for your trust, Naruto. At least not yet.” Tsunade reached out her hand towards Naruto’s but he slapped it away.

”Do I have to resort to calling the guards? I already told you! I want you out of here!”

”I never thought Minato’s son would be a quitter.” Jiraiya sighed, as if he was very disappointed. Naruto almost threw himself at the old man. He wanted to hit him so badly.

”I’m not a quitter! What the hell is it that you think I quit? I don’t quit! I just know my place!”

”Ha! Don’t make me laugh! Your place? You have done nothing but ignore your place the whole time you’ve been by Uchiha Sasuke’s side! Something tells me that you did it a long time before you were bought by him as well.”

”What do you know? Do you have me watched outside of school too? Do you have people at his house? Do you have cameras in our rooms? Have you seen me bed with him? Begging him for it like a little slut? I know my place! It’s being his fuck toy! Wouldn’t daddy be so proud of me?”

”Is strange how they can be so alike on the outside, huh?” Jiraiya said to Tsunade, ignoring Naruto. ”If they had been placed next to each other I wouldn’t have been able to tell the difference. At least not until this kid opens his mouth. Who would have thought that Namikaze Minato’s son would be such a bitter asshole?”

”Don’t you think I have reasons to be bitter, you son of a bitch?” Naruto yelled. His head hurt. He felt as if he was going to faint. But he was too pissed off to let the vice principal get away with what he was saying.

”No, you do have reasons to be bitter. The thing is that your father had just as much, if not more. And he was the happiest person I’ve ever known.”

”He was a fool then.”

”I’m this close to slapping you.” Tsunade measured up half an inch between her perfect manicured thumb and index finger. ”Concussion and Minato’s son in the equation.” She growled.

”You have no right speaking about him like that, Naruto-kun.” Jiraiya said harshly. ”Minato had a tough life. Not only did he build up the company by himself. He fell in love with a divine that wasn’t even his own. A pretty little fox-girl at that. He fought for years to get her by his side. And he succeeded.”

”What a fairy tale! Didn’t I tell you to get out?” Naruto pointed to the door, not expecting them to listen to him. He was right. Jiraiya continued to talk as if Naruto hadn’t said anything at all.

”It was terribly hard to get a divine free back then. You needed special permission from the government. And wanting to marry one?” He shook his head, the long white hair dancing over his shoulders. ”Impossible. Raising divine born children as one’s own was not unheard of but to make him into the heir of everything you owned? Minato was the first one to do that you know.”

”Please, shut up!” Naruto placed his hands over his ears to shut out Jiraiya’s voice. It didn’t help. He could still hear his recital over his own life.

”It took years but he finally got permission to make you his legal son. So many horrible defeats before he succeeded. Enough to make a man give up. To live happily with his family to everything but the name. But he never did. He knew what he wanted and fought to get it. He wanted a real family. He made you the heir of everything he owned. And he was so close getting your mother free too. Only one more signature was needed. Then he could have married her. And you both would have gotten to have the name Namikaze instead of Uzumaki.”

”Please shut up…” Naruto whispered. He didn’t want to hear it. He didn’t want to hear about the life he could have had. The life he would have gotten if there weren’t so many evil people in the world. If there wasn’t so much greed in men. He knew all of this. He knew that his father had fought for him. To keep him out of the life of divines. Iruka-sensei had told him about it when he was at the orphanage. His father’s struggle had been famous. And the tragic ending to it made it even more so. In fact, the story had even added to his price. He wondered if Sasuke had known. He wondered if Sasuke had cared, if he did know. Why would he care?

”His parents didn’t want to have anything to do with him, did you know that? Your grandparents? They thought he was a disgrace to the family because he wanted to marry a divine. A fox-girl. She was such a pretty little thing, wasn’t she, Tsunade?” Jiraiya smiled, making himself more comfortable in the chair.

”Oh yes! That long red hair? Every girl would have killed for hair like that. And she was so cute. Those big eyes.” Tsunade said dreamingly. ”I know it’s horrible the way they scar and alternate the poor things to make them look more like animals. But really, nobody looked as good as her in those whisker scars. The prettiest little neko I’ve ever seen.”

”Stop it! Please!” Naruto begged but they continued on.

”I always found it a little strange how Minato fell for a girl like that. He was never seen around animal girls like her in school. He would always sit to himself in my classes.”

”In mine too.” Tsunade nodded. ”Sometimes with the other boys. Very rarely with the girls.”

”But he really loved her, didn’t he?” Jiraiya continued. ”And I know she loved him. She wasn’t just saying that she did because he owned her. She would have looked wonderful as his bride.”

Naruto was crying by now. His head hurt. He shouldn’t listen. He should call for the guards. Why hadn’t they come in yet on their own? They must have heard him yell. Maybe they didn’t care? They knew his visitor’s wouldn’t hurt him physically. Maybe that was enough for them? Even though they were tearing at his insides. Chopping his heart into pieces. If they were his father’s friends why were they doing this? The other people, the ones that had alternated his papers at least had something to gain! What would torturing him with this bring them? What would they get out of it? Or maybe they just liked to see him in pain? That was nothing new to him.

”You need to start fighting, Naruto.” Tsunade said, her voice filled with warmth and grabbed his wrists carefully. She pulled them away from his ears.

”I’ve been fighting all my life.” Naruto turned his face away from them. He didn’t want to be seen. He wanted to get away.

”Your father died for you and your mother.” Jiraiya leaned forward and rested his elbows on his knees, locking his eyes on Naruto. ”He died for what he believed in. That everybody should be free. This is not the life you deserve, Naruto. He got you free from this life when you were a child. People thought it was wrong. Bad people did what they thought was needed. They killed him because they wanted the biggest fighter away from the fight. They could easily take your mother away then. It was easy to auction her off when she no longer had a master to take care of her. And they put you in an orphanage. Made sure nobody would adopt you until they had the company in their hands and a way to make your identification papers into what they were. The ones of a divine. A collared slave instead of a free man.” Jiraiya put his hand over Naruto’s leg, squeezing it affectingly.

”What is it that you want of me?” Naruto cried. ”Why don’t you leave me alone? I can’t do anything about this!”

”Yes, you can.” Tsunade pet his hair. ”It’s true that you have been fighting, Naruto. You have been staying at the surface. You have stayed true to who you are. But now you need to get onto the shore and become the man you want to be. And we will do our best to reach out to you. We will do whatever we can to get you free. We will reach out for you but you will have to reach back out for us too, do you hear?”

”Cut the poetic crap.” Jiraiya groaned. ”Shakespeare is rolling over multiple time in his grave for that!”

”Excuse me? And all the poetic things you have been sprouting? ’The biggest fighter’. He wasn’t a medieval hero, you know!”

”Hag!”

”Pervert!”

”I’m a super pervert damn it! Su-per per-vert!”

”Are you quite done?” All three snapped their heads towards the door. Naruto’s heart skipped a beat but his hopes were soon smashed when he truly saw who it was. It wasn’t Sasuke. It was Itachi. He turned his face away in shame. He didn’t want anybody to see him cry. Especially not somebody who could tell Sasuke about it.

”It’s time to leave.” Itachi said bored, walking up to the bed.

”Visitation hour is not over yet.” Tsunade said coldly, glaring at Itachi. She obviously didn’t like him.

”And you’re not his master anyway, Itachi-kun.” Jiraiya said just as cold. Itachi raised an eyebrow and glared at the two of them.

”Not that it’s any of your business, but my otouto has put me in charge of Naruto-kun until his return. And furthermore, I was talking to him. Not you. You can stay in here all night for all I care. But Naruto-kun and myself are leaving.”

”I’ve been released?” Naruto blinked and wiped his tears away, embarrassed of them. He still had his face turned away. He didn’t want Itachi to see him cry. Maybe he’d tell Sasuke. He didn’t want Sasuke to know.

”Yes.” Itachi threw a bag of clothes on the bed. Barely missing hitting Tsunade in the head. She narrowed her eyes at him but he didn’t bother to look back. He walked up to the nightstand by the bed and pulled out a few tissues from a box. He grabbed Naruto’s chin and forced him to look at him. Naruto looked startled at him and then closed his eyes. He wanted to turn away again but with the grip Itachi had on him, he knew it was futile. Itachi wiped the tears and the snot away from his face like one would do to a little kid, making Naruto blush even more.

”Have they hurt you, Naruto-kun?” He asked icily.

”Are you out of your mind?” Tsunade bellowed and clenched her fists. ”Why would we hurt him? We’re his teachers, damn it! We’re vice principals in his school!” Itachi’s head whipped around and if looks could kill, nothing would be left of Tsunade but ash.

”That didn’t stop the third one of you, now did it?” He hissed and with one last look at his face, let Naruto go. Naruto turned away.

”Orochimaru…?” He whispered, his eyes wide. The third vice-principal had done this to him? He had gotten three students to do this to him? Why? Why had he done this to him?

”You are crazy!” Jiraiya had a hard grip on the chair. Naruto briefly wondered if it was going to break.

”I don’t care about your opinion of me. You two are of no importance.” Itachi turned to Naruto. ”Get dressed.” Naruto looked between his two visitors. He felt uncomfortable. He didn’t want to undress in front of them. Not that he wasn’t used to getting naked in front of strangers but… These were friends of his father’s. And he wanted to keep some dignity in their eyes. Even though there probably wasn’t much left. Jiraiya nodded and stood up.

”I can take a hint. Let’s go, Tsunade.” He said and waved at her to come, heading for the door. Tsunade looked torn in between following him or staying. She didn’t want to leave Naruto with Itachi. It didn’t feel right. She sighed. She knew she didn’t have a choice. She bent over Naruto and gave him another kiss to his forehead.

”We’ll keep in touch, Naruto.” She smiled at him, not sad that she didn’t get one in return. She glared at Itachi and walked to the door. Jiraiya held it open for her and followed her out of the room. They both let out a deep sigh as the door closed.

”We have to get a hold of Naruto’s papers before that crazy ass man does.” Tsunade said and rubbed her temples. She had gotten a terrible headache.

”I know. All we can do is to hope that we have enough money for the prize they will set on him. And that Sasuke-kun will be willing to sell him to us.”

”We have to reach out our hands as we promised him.” She smiled sadly and flipped one of her pigtails over her shoulder.

”We have to get Naruto free. For both his and Minato’s sake.” Jiraiya nodded.

--

The ride home was silent. Naruto was riding in the front seat looking out the window but not really seeing the things zooming by. Itachi wasn’t saying anything. Perhaps he had lost interest in him too. Or there never was a genuine interest. Maybe he had just been saying and doing all those things to Naruto to piss Sasuke off. Of course he had. Why did all thoughts have to go back to Sasuke? Was he his entire life? What a stupid question. Of course he was. Naruto’s life orbited around Sasuke’s. Like any toy’s life did to their master’s.

”You’re awfully quiet today, Naruto-kun.” Itachi said and shifted gears. Naruto raised and eyebrow, but didn’t look over at him.

”And here I was just thinking the same about you.”

”Do you like hearing my voice, Naruto-kun?”

”Not really. I’m just used to you trying to make a move on me. But I guess that isn’t necessary, right? Since Sasuke has no interest in me anymore? You only want me because I’m his, don’t you?”

”Do you want me to make a move on you, Naruto-kun?”

”When did it start to matter what I want? And why are you saying my name over and over?”

”I have a feeling you like it when people say your name.” Naruto’s head snapped up and he stared wide eyed at him. Itachi smirked. ”Am I wrong? Naruto?”

”Have you been listening to us, you sick fuck?” Naruto was appalled. Who in their right mind listened to their little brother having sex? If he had thought Itachi was crazy before, it was nothing to now. Itachi only chuckled amused.

”It’s not like I had any say in it. I was just minding my own business, walking to my rooms. Then there were banging sounds from Sasuke’s room. You were both quite vocal that day he fucked you up against the door.” Naruto turned his face away again in an attempt to hide the red color. This was embarrassing. He remembered that time. It had been one of their more… Kinky times. One of the best fucks they had ever had.

”You’re sick.” Naruto murmured.

”Am I?” Itachi asked, not really expecting an answer. Naruto wasn’t the first one to call him that. Itachi had heard it so many times. It had lost any meaning years ago. He wasn’t sick. Not at all. He was just different from other people. And other people didn’t matter anyway. The only one that mattered was yourself. And family of course. Itachi would die for Sasuke any day if it was needed from him. Yes, he would do anything for Sasuke. He glanced over at the blond next to him. And he would make sure Sasuke was happy. And that didn’t include worrying over somebody like Naruto. He smirked. Naruto would look better among his own toys anyway. He’d make a nice addition in Itachi’s collection of exotic divines. Yes, he’d fit right in. Especially with that temper.

They stopped in front of the gates and Itachi gave his information to the guards. Unlike when Naruto had to go through the gates, he did of course not give the information from his collar, since he had none. No, it was a simple fingerprint scan. You could never be careful enough in times like this. Everybody was out to hurt everybody.

They drove through the gates and Itachi rounded the house to the backside. He turned off the engine and looked over at Naruto. He wasn’t moving. He wasn’t getting out of the car like Itachi thought he would do right away after his comments just a little earlier.

”What is it?” He asked. He could tell that Naruto wanted to say something.

”Why did he do it?” Naruto mumbled.

”Why did who do what?” Itachi held back his sigh.

”Orochimaru.” Naruto turned to look at his master’s older brother. So alike, yet so different. Itachi blinked a few times. Not another muscle moving. He was thinking about what to say of course. Naruto started to think that he wouldn’t get one when Itachi spoke.

”He wanted Sasuke. And you were in the way. So he decided to get rid of you.” Naruto’s eyes widened at that.

”Why does he want Sasuke?”

”Because Sasuke’s beautiful. And Orochimaru likes beautiful things. As long as they’re his. And he knows that Sasuke doesn’t like scars. Therefore he hurts Sasuke’s favorites. You’re not the first. But you’re the first that he did such a clumsy job with. He didn’t cover his tracks this time. So this time… I’ve got him right where I want him.” Itachi leaned his head back and smirked satisfied. ”And it will feel so fucking good to get rid of him once and for all.”

Naruto opened the door and stumbled out of the car. He clutched his midsection with one arm as he slammed the door shut with the other. His ribs hurt. And he knew that if he threw up, they would hurt even more.

Get rid of him once and for all. Itachi was going to kill Orochimaru. He would die for what he had done to Naruto. No, for what he had done to Sasuke by doing this to Naruto. Or maybe Sasuke would kill him himself? No, why would he do that?

Naruto walked up the stairs to the back door, completely ignoring the servants and divines around him. He heard Itachi getting out of the car and talking to somebody but he didn’t care. He didn’t care. He just wanted to get away. Why could things never be simple? He tried to swallow down the lump in his throat. He knew that he would throw up if he didn’t.

He turned the corner to the Playground, Itachi’s and Sasuke’s hallway, and jumped in the air when he heard a loud crash.

”You big idiot! Look what you’ve done!” Naruto startled at the man who had yelled. He was used to that voice and it was odd to him to see the servant he always fought with yelling at somebody else. Kisame to be exact. Naruto didn’t really know Itachi’s divines. But he had spoken to Kisame once or twice. And he knew that he needed somebody strong to make sure he stayed in his place. And this man was not strong enough.

”That was Itachi-sama’s dinner, you big oaf! Do you suggest he eats it off the floor?” The servant yelled. Naruto wondered briefly if Kisame would get in trouble if he punched the guy. And he wondered if he himself would be in trouble if he was the one holding his arms back. He never got an answer to those questions because Itachi brushed past him. Naruto actually got a little scared with the expression he had on his face.

”Now Itachi-sama’s dinner will be late and it’s all your fault!” The servant raised his hand and was about to slap Kisame. But before the hand descended he stopped himself. Once again, if looks could kill, this man would too only be a pile of ash.

”Have I ever,” Itachi hissed. ”given you the privilege of punishing my divines?” The man took a step backwards, clearly intimidated.

”N-no, Itachi-sama. You haven’t.”

”Then why do I see you trying to do just that?”

”I’m sorry, I-”

”Clean this up. And don’t ever think you can talk to my divines like that again. And you will never touch any of them ever again. You hear? Ever.”

Naruto was mesmerized by the way Itachi was talking. It was scary. And hypnotizing. All you wanted to do was to obey. Itachi was a true master. Even to the ones he didn’t own. Even to a free man. Naruto couldn’t really say that he blamed the man for liking to get orders from the Uchiha’s anymore. Naruto almost moaned at the thought of Sasuke speaking with that tone of voice.

”Get me my dinner.” Itachi said and waved the man away. He gave Kisame a look Naruto couldn’t understand but the larger man obviously knew, because he nodded and followed Itachi into his room.

Naruto sighed as he saw the servant get on his knees and started to pick up the food scattered over the floor. Should he help him? He walked closer and was about to bend down to pick up the plate but it was quickly snatched out of his reach.

”Go away!” He hissed and glared at Naruto. ”Why are you still here anyway? Sasuke-sama should have sent you away by now!” Naruto straightened up and headed for his door.

”Obviously he hasn’t yet. I think you’re stuck with me in this house until he comes back. What a shame, huh?” Naruto closed the door gently, not giving the man the satisfaction of a slam. He leaned back against the door, looking up at the ceiling. He probably wouldn’t have been able to reach down anyway because of his ribs. Why would he help that son of a bitch anyway?

”Fuck…” He whispered and forced himself to look around the room. It was his room. His things. But it was things Sasuke had bought for him. Things Sasuke had given him. A place where he and Sasuke had sex in. On the bed, the couch, in the shower, against the wall, on the table, under the table. There was probably not a surface in his or Sasuke’s rooms that they hadn’t had sex on. And it pissed Naruto off. How could he do this? How could everything change so abruptly? Sasuke had forced him to stay in bed. He had been forced to beg to go to the bathroom. Because Sasuke didn’t want him to leave. Because Sasuke wanted him near. Sasuke had wanted him.

Naruto walked up to the closet and opened it. He went inside and stopped in front of the full figure mirror. Yeah, they had fucked in front of that one too. Sasuke had made him watch. Had made him keep his eyes open. Had made him watch himself beg for it. Himself moaning when Sasuke said his name. Naruto glared at himself. Had he really let himself go like that? Because he had really fought to keep his eyes open. He had wanted to please Sasuke. He had wanted to make Sasuke proud. And Sasuke had been.

Naruto leaned forward to inspect his new scars but hissed and straightened up fast again. No bending over yet! The ribs still hurt. He chuckled to himself. There would be no bending over. Sasuke didn’t have any desire to have him bent over anymore. He sneered at his reflection. He was ugly now. He looked horrible. So his mother had been the cutest neko Tsunade had ever seen? Nobody carried whisker scars as well as her? Obviously, it was the truth since Naruto looked horrible in them. They only ruined his face. He was ugly now. No wonder that Sasuke didn’t want him anymore. They had succeeded. Orochimaru had succeeded. Sasuke didn’t want him anymore.

Naruto walked out of the closet and slammed that door shut instead in an attempt to get out some frustration. It didn’t help much. He walked over to the bathroom and opened the door. He managed to get on his knees in front of the toilet bowl before he threw up. A man was going to die because he had made Naruto ugly. Because he had hurt Uchiha property.

Damn, Naruto’s ribs hurt. He winced as he stood up and flushed the toilet. He rinsed his mouth with a glass of water and exited the bathroom. He walked over to his bed and laid down on his back. He picked up a pillow and placed it over his face. Damn… It didn’t smell like himself. Or Sasuke… They had exchanged his sheets. Well, it was probably needed. He pushed the pillow off and sighed.

”Damn Sasuke… I’m going to punch him in the balls for doing this to me.”

I have a favor to ask of you people. Please don't send me reviews telling me to update when there haven't been an update in a long while. Please don't tell me to not abandon this story. I will never abandon it, okay? I will finish it. I know I'm slow with updates, but please! Reviews going: "It's been a long time since you updated! Don't abandon it! Update now!" only pisses me off. Not even a please? There are few people that get to order me around and trust me! You're not one of them, okay?
I'm very flattered that you like my story so much that you want fast updates to know what happens next. But I'm slow at updating. It's not going to change unfortunatly.
Thank you for listening.
