Lonely Along the Way

A/N- I lost the first 4 pages of this and I’m frustrated. My beta is currently MIA so if you would like to temp for me then an email would suffice.

Disclaimer: I don’t own Naruto character because I would probably just lose them.

Chapter II
Bend Over Headboards

Sasuke was afraid to look behind him and see the man that had caused him to question so many feelings about his body. He crawled forward on his knees and then turned around to look into the darkness. He could feel the soothing air from the balcony coming from behind him. He knew that if he could just get to the window then he could escape.

Those eyes he feared seeing again glowed in front of him. He wanted desperately to just turn around and run but he didn’t move as the man took step after step, getting closer to him. He knelt down in front of Sasuke and took the boy’s ankle, pulling his body towards him. Sasuke didn’t budge as he slid forward on the cold floor.

He was flat on his back as the other towered above him. Orochimaru leaned over Sasuke and let his thick tongue lap over the boy’s neck. Sasuke was disgusted at the feeling. He turned his head and pretended as hard as he could that the man was just not there. Pretended that he was simply laying in a dark cell where water dripped down his neck.

While he was busy convincing himself he was in some other place Orochimaru moved back to look down at him. He had Sasuke tacked down at first but now he let up and stood to right his clothes. He flipped his hair back and looked down at Sasuke, reaching his hand out to help the boy up. Sasuke waited and didn’t move as he felt that creepy man’s saliva drying on his skin. Orochimaru was patient and held still as Sasuke contemplated whether or not he wanted to react to that kind gesture.

What kind of person did Orochimaru think he was? Did he think Sasuke was just going to accept the fact that he was bought to erotically entertain him? He should know that his little sex slave wasn’t planning to act in good conscience towards him. He was a tool after all, and that meant he didn’t have to like any of this.

Deciding that he had better start listening to the man who owned him, he shifted first. He belonged to him now and if he ever wanted to get away with his life then he was going to have to start cooperating. Sasuke put out his hand and Orochimaru pulled him to his feet, quickly wrapping an arm around Sasuke’s slim waist. He pulled the boy close and held him as if they were going to waltz in the vacant room.

Sasuke pushed closer to him without realizing what he was doing. He couldn’t admit that he felt safe at all but for now he felt content. He leaned closer and rested his head on Orochimaru’s chest, begging silently for him to hold tighter. This was something Sasuke always wanted. He’d wanted to be held by someone strong, someone who wouldn’t hurt him. Although he couldn’t really say Orochimaru wasn’t going to hurt him, this was still something he wanted to experience, comfort.

Sasuke waited for his owner to exhale and then breathe in the scent of his coal-black hair. He waited until that next inhale came and Orochimaru’s grasp was loosed. He waited and then, when he had an opening, slipped out of the man’s arms and turned so quickly he made himself dizzy.

He headed for the balcony as fast as he could. He was moving quickly and he was just a few feet away. He prayed he’d be quick enough and as he stepped through the curtains of the large window, Orochimaru appeared in front of him. Sasuke stumbled to a stop and flashed around to run to the other door. He was going to get out of here one way or the other.

Sasuke was running faster than he had ever run in his life. His bare feet slapped against the floor, the air in his lungs was disappearing and they burned for him to rest. He didn’t know that the door he’d come through was so far away. It was like the more he ran the farther away it seemed. It caused him make the mistake of turning around to see if Orochimaru was behind him and when he noticed he wasn’t there, he slammed into something tall and living.

“Have you somewhere else to be? Hmm, my little pet?” He reached for the boy again but Sasuke staggered back and was ready to try again for the balcony that was only a few yards away, despite how far he’d run. He turned slightly and then looked back at Orochimaru, huffing and clutching his stomach. The man was still grinning at him. Was this all just a game?

Sasuke took one step as he turned on his heel but he was grabbed by his neck and swung back. Orochimaru slipped his arm around Sasuke’s waist and threw the boy over his shoulder like it was nothing. The man turned and started walking toward a door that Sasuke swore he hadn’t noticed before. He struggled to get down, beating Orochimaru’s back and growling. The doors broke open in front of them and Orochimaru threw Sasuke down on a monstrous bed.

Sasuke scrambled away from him and put enough space between them to where he thought Orochimaru couldn’t get to him. He huddled up near the headboard of the bed and shook like a wet animal. Orochimaru stood at the foot of the bed watching him quake. Sasuke knew that man was going to make that weird feeling run through his body again and he feared it.

“Come here.” Orochimaru motioned for the boy to move but Sasuke shook his head and denied the man the pleasure of getting closer. Orochimaru watched for a moment, his facial expressions didn’t seem to have any variety and Sasuke just knew he was playing with him. He pulled his knees to his chest and waited for the man to climb on the bed with him.

Orochimaru stared with lusting eyes. Sasuke knew he was just some piece of meat to the man. He wanted to get up and head for the door, which he couldn’t currently see anymore, but he knew if he made a run for it that Orochimaru would just be right in front of him. Sasuke didn’t want to give him a reason to speak again. His voice was what scared Sasuke the most. He sounded so calm but inside you could hear the evil and the condescending tone he carried when he talked. Almost as if he knew he could scare people so he used it more often.

Orochimaru moved like he was going to get on the bed and crawl over to Sasuke but he merely sat down with his back to the boy. They both stayed extremely quiet. Sasuke was safe where he was cowering in the corner and Orochimaru hadn’t budged since he sat down. Not even to turn around and look at Sasuke like he had been doing.

Sasuke got a chance to calm himself and regain his composure from the breathless little jog he’d taken, like a hamster on a wheel. He was brought back to reality when Orochimaru stood and started walking towards yet another door Sasuke hadn’t seen until now.

“Follow me.” Orochimaru simply stated, instead of commanding. Sasuke didn’t move right away but he eventually got up, walking after the man but turning around to see if he could get through he door again. He could no longer find it and thought maybe he was going crazy so he just trailed after the man.

The next room was dark as well, or at least until they stepped into it. The light came out of nowhere and Sasuke was amazed at what he saw. It was a large bathroom with dark floors and golden tapestry. He looked around, marveled, but didn’t let the man out of his sight. He watched Orochimaru out of the corner of his eye so he wouldn’t get anymore surprises. Sasuke stepped forward and stared up at the ceiling. It was the only place he could see a window so his plans to escape were once again postponed.

“You’re going to bathe.” Orochimaru said, walking over to a huge tub and pulling a little tassel above it to release the water. Sasuke froze mid-step and backed up when he heard this. He couldn’t believe what was happening. Bathe? Was the man going to watch him take a bath or would he leave?

Sasuke found the door behind him and waited. He knew he couldn’t get away just yet so he prepared himself. He grabbed the doorknob and made ready to make a break for it but the skin of his hand started to burn. He snatched his hand back as it pulsed.

Sasuke looked behind him at the bright red doorknob. He didn’t know how the King was using all these tricks but now he wanted out. He was sure Orochimaru was relocating all the doors and had hidden Sasuke’s exits on purpose. He growled at the pain growing in his hand as Orochimaru started walking back over to him. He pinned Sasuke to the door and stroked the boy’s bare chest with a graceful hand. His finger traveled down Sasuke’s body and played with the rim of his pants.

Sasuke turned his head away and tried not to think about it. He bit his lip and blushed as he pushed Orochimaru’s hand away. The man obliged and took to stepping closer instead. He leaned down and smelled Sasuke’s skin deeply. He bit Sasuke in the place between his neck and shoulder, making the boy shudder at the feeling and move quickly. He ducked and slid behind Orochimaru.

The man turned slowly, in no rush to go after Sasuke who hadn’t moved too far anyway. He grabbed the boy’s wrist and pulled him back, promptly forcing Sasuke’s pants to the floor. Said boy was used to being bare so he wasn’t terrified but he still used his free hand to cover himself up. It just felt weird when the man stared at him that way, eyeing his soft and frail little body.

Orochimaru licked his lips wickedly as he lifted the arm he was holding by the wrist. He walked Sasuke backward to the tub and made him stand in front of it.

“Raise the other.” Orochimaru pointed to Sasuke’s other hand. “I want to enjoy looking at you.” He said in a flat tone. Sasuke looked away again as he lifted his arm and exposed himself obediently. He could feel himself growing even more pale with the passing seconds. Then, there it was again. There was that aching in his loins the he felt the other day.

Sasuke dared not to look down at himself to see what was going on between his legs. He felt stiff and like his member was throbbing. He tried to hide his embarrassment, as the man just seemed to be staring lustfully.

“You’re so beautiful.” Orochimaru ran a hand along Sasuke’s body again, touching him in every way possible. He turned Sasuke around, still holding up his hands, and cupped his ass firmly. Sasuke jerked forward and grit his teeth at the sensation. He hoped to God that the man wouldn’t do what he’d done to him the last time. He wouldn’t be able to sleep again.

“Get in.” He whispered in Sasuke’s ear. The boy hesitated so Orochimaru playfully slapped his ass and sent him walking forward, stepping into the warm water. It felt good around his legs, he hadn’t had a decent bath in so long and he wanted to wash his hair. He wanted to sit down and enjoy the water but he remained standing.

Orochimaru finally let go of Sasuke’s hand and the boy kept his back to the man as he stood there, shivering from something other than the cold air. Orochimaru pressed down on his shoulders and Sasuke started to kneel. He was made to lay down in the water and soak his body. The water felt good and without knowing it Sasuke leaned back and closed his eyes. He sighed and raised one of his knees, letting it fall against the side of the tub. He knew Orochimaru was watching but that was the last thing on his mind.

Orochimaru sat on the edge of the tub and rolled up his sleeve. He reached down into the water, unbeknownst to Sasuke, and rubbed over his erecting cock. The boy’s eyes shot open and he flew forward pushing the man away. He pulled his knees to his chest and wrapped his arms around himself. The water splashed everywhere and Orochimaru got soaked.

He half growled as he stood up and removed his shirt, revealing his broad shoulders and a toned chest. Sasuke dropped his head and closed his eyes tight. He knew what was going to happen. He knew he was here for entertainment. He knew that man was going to flip him over and have his way. He just couldn’t believe it was really happening now.

He could just imagine the man taking off his pants and steeping into ‘his’ water and taking over ‘his’ body without ‘his‘ permission. He was feeling sick again. He was so sure that was going to happen that he wasn’t going to look up until it was all over. He kept himself closed up and waited for that man to grab him… but it never came.

Sasuke lifted his head to see Orochimaru sitting on the edge of the tub again. He wasn’t doing more than massaging Sasuke’s leg. The boy uncurled himself and let his legs slide back down into the water. Almost as if he had known Orochimaru was going to tell him to relax.

The man pulled Sasuke by his leg and brought him closer. Sasuke was submerged up to his chest and the water was soothing to him again. He clenched his jaw as Orochimaru’s hand slid to the inside of his thigh and squeezed him slightly. Sasuke stared at him, straight in his eyes. He wanted to get up and smack the man across the face, maybe punch him out for making him feel so damn… dirty.

Orochimaru grabbed Sasuke’s balls and wiggled them between his fingers. Sasuke was taken by surprise and splashed around again. Orochimaru wasn’t playing this time. He growled and Sasuke fell still, not moving an inch other then the heavy breathing of his chest.

The man’s hand gripped his cock again and rubbed it gently. Sasuke took a deep breath and let his head fall back.

“Tell me your name.” Orochimaru fisted his hand down Sasuke’s shaft. “You haven’t spoken to me once since we met.” He gripped tighter. “I’m hurt.” He said looking into Sasuke’s eyes. He continued to work on the boy without breaking their eye contact.

Sasuke remained quiet. He wasn’t going to give the perv any pleasure in hearing him speak. He wasn’t going to reveal his name either. It was the only thing he had left that was given to him by his parents and he wasn’t going to lose that. If he gave up his name then Orochimaru would really own him and he wasn’t going to let that happen.

Orochimaru was becoming more and more impatient. He let go of Sasuke and shook his hand dry as he stood up. Without warning he dropped his pants to the floor and revealed his painfully erecting cock. Sasuke was surprised to see its length and turned to look elsewhere.

Orochimaru mentally patted himself on the back as he stepped into the tub and slid down. His legs were on either side of Sasuke as he leaned back and rested his head against the edge of the tub. Sasuke went back to his position of sitting with his arms wrapped around his legs. Orochimaru pulled Sasuke by the arm and the boy fell forward. The water flew from the tub as Sasuke struggled to get away, panicking when he knew he couldn’t. His breathing had picked up an uneven pace and from all his tossing his hair was now drenched.

The man continued to pull Sasuke forward until he was laying flat over his body. The boy’s small body laid in between Orochimaru’s legs. His head was near Orochimaru’s neck, causing his un-matured chest to press up against Orochimaru’s dick with force. The man grunted lightly as his member felt the rise and fall of Sasuke’s rapid breathing.

Orochimaru slid himself farther down and then pulled himself back up. Letting his penis glide over Sasuke chest sweetly. He ran his hand down Sasuke’s back as he continued to move slowly.

This startled Sasuke and he sat up forcing himself away from the other’s warm body. They splashed around and Sasuke managed to slam the man in his chest with his palm. He slipped as he stood and Orochimaru grabbed him and pulled him back down. Sasuke ended up sitting in Orochimaru’s lap with his back leaning against the man’s chest. He folded his arm around Sasuke’s waist and kept him from escaping again. His cock beat against Sasuke’s virginity and the boy tried his best to pull away.

Orochimaru smoothly moved his other hand between his waist and Sasuke’s backside. He let one finger race down the inside of Sasuke’s cheeks and reach for his innocent little hole. He pressed his longest finger into Sasuke’s body and the boy whimpered as he sat up and grabbed the edge of the tub with both hands. He leaned forward and attempted to pull himself away from the intrusion.

“Don’t leave so soon…” Orochimaru pulled his hair and jerked Sasuke back. The boy was leaning against his chest again, feeling the man dig deeper into his cavity. He pushed another finger into Sasuke as the boy began to whine and ride against him instinctively yet, still fighting against the man.

He caught Sasuke by surprise when he started to thrust into him stronger. He even managed to stick his possessive tongue in the boy’s ear to rile his agitation a little more. Sasuke threw his head back and moaned in a sorrowful voice.

“Let me go.” Sasuke said quietly. His voice was hoarse from not talking for the passed few weeks. He began to slowly cry and the man carried on pushing into Sasuke again and again. It made Sasuke feel good, he could admit that but it felt wrong at the same exact time. He wanted to get away from the unclean caress of the man.

“Please.” Sasuke begged finding his voice was stronger when he tried to be louder. Orochimaru took his tongue from Sasuke ear but never stopped fingering him as he smirked.

“Mmm, I think I’ll add another.” Orochimaru’s tongue flicked against Sasuke’s neck and shoulders. Sasuke clenched his teeth together as he felt Orochimaru stretch his two fingers apart to add yet another. Sasuke growled, he couldn’t let this keep going on. His body felt like it was melting apart, like he was going to explode.

He felt his dick aching for a break even though it had barely been touched. Sasuke shook his head, he was incapable of sitting here any longer. He leaned forward again and pulled. Orochimaru didn’t let go and Sasuke turned his torso around to look at him. He pushed his palm against Orochimaru’s face and added some pressure.

“Let me go.” Sasuke voiced. He launched forward and stepped out of the tub quickly. He grabbed a small towel off one other racks and wrapped it around himself. Orochimaru stared and then smiled widely until he started laughing hysterically.

“Such a sweet voice.” He stood and exited the water as well, walking over to Sasuke and then putting his hand under the boy’s chin. “I must have more from my pet.” His hand was smacked away and Sasuke glared at him. This only made Orochimaru’s sadist grin grow even bigger.

“I’m not your pet.” Sasuke spat quickly. Hell if he was going to run around this place with the man treating him like he was no more than a tool. Even if that was all he was, he wasn’t going to stand for this anymore. Not even if he was terrified for his life.

“You ‘are’ mine though, aren’t you?” Orochimaru snatched him up by his neck and squeezed. “You will obey me.” He said, bringing Sasuke’s face close to his. His own lips turned upright into a frail smile as he tasted Sasuke’s silky smooth lips. The boy kept his mouth closed in shock. He’d never been kissed before and he didn’t know what type of reaction to he should be experiencing.

Orochimaru was still holding his neck. Sasuke tried to push him away and take back his lips with no luck. The man chose to keep him there, forcing his lengthy tongue into Sasuke warm mouth. The boy didn’t know what to do with the man’s most disgusting member in his mouth. His only means of getting out of this was to bite down.

Orochimaru pulled away as Sasuke held his tongue tightly in between his top and bottom jaw. The man dug his nails into Sasuke skin until the boy was bleeding and let him go. Orochimaru released him and growled as he hunched over and let his tongue hang in the air as he breathed. The man could see the bite marks on his wet tongue and growled louder.

“You will leave to where I can no longer see you.” He said with a slight lisp. “Now.” He commanded staring at Sasuke as if he was going to unleash some satanic evil if the boy didn’t go immediately.

-----

Sasuke laid silently in the man’s bed. He’d been told to leave but he never found his way out. He was afraid to still be in the upset man’s presence but he figured that maybe sucking up would give him some leeway. He hadn’t really meant to try and bite his tongue off. It was just a reaction to the man trying to force him like he had. He got what he deserved in the end.

Sasuke slid under the thick covers and curled up in the fetal position. He could hear the man moving around in the bathroom but he didn’t look over to see if he was coming out. Sasuke had been laying there for at least half and hour and Orochimaru still hadn’t exited the room.

He wondered absently what he was doing. Then he wondered why he himself hadn’t tried to escape by now. Orochimaru had sent him out knowing the balcony door was open and knowing Sasuke could get away if he wanted. Did he expect that Sasuke wouldn’t be able to find his way out?

Sasuke stayed laying there and didn't see Orochimaru again that night. He fell asleep, enjoying the warmth of the huge bed and blending into the softness of the covers, they were just as comfortable as his were. Sasuke slept, alone and in a kind of pain he never imagined existed.

“You have a new toy this season.” A merchant was standing at Orochimaru’s side while he sat at the table in the dinning room speaking with the other traders. The guy was tall and had dark hair and soft pale skin. Orochimaru would eye him often and think of ways he might entertain his most treasured buyer.

“Who is he?” The guy asked not really in a tone like he cared. He was just trying to remain on Orochimaru’s good side and he knew the man loved to chat about his little possessions. Orochimaru stopped and looked down at the table.

“You seem interested, Itachi.” He smirked. “I won’t sell him to you. This one is rather special to me.” He leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to think about what he might do if he could get the boy to cooperate with him. Itachi just stood still as he thought about the small boy he had run into in that very room.

“I don’t want your play things Orochimaru. I was merely interested in the boy’s origin. He seems vaguely familiar. I might have come across his family once in my travels.” He couldn’t help but continue to think about how pathetic the boy looked. Orochimaru excused himself and walked passed Itachi.

“So you have seen him then. Mmm, his is a taste I can’t get rid of.” Orochimaru stood from his chair and started walking out of the room. “He’s stubborn.” Orochimaru half turned and looked at Itachi as he followed. “Reminds me of a certain Uchiha.” Orochimaru turned the corner to go up the stairs, as if he was going to Sasuke’s room.

“Don’t assume things. He’s nothing of my kind. I am the last Uchiha. The boy I saw is far too pathetic to even be considered as such.” Itachi stopped at the start of the stairs. Orochimaru turned and looked at him closely. He could count the years he’d wanted to take the one in front of him as his own. Alas, Itachi was far too old for his tastes now.

“Hmm, but he has your skin.” Orochimaru stepped forward and stroked the side of Itachi’s face before the other turned away and grunted, grabbing Orochimaru’s wrist.

“Don’t make it a habit.” He pushed Orochimaru away and the man laughed as he began walking up the stairs again. Had he been someone else Orochimaru would have snapped his or her neck but he simply adored Itachi’s body structure. He would never lay a harmful hand on him.

“You’ll wish I had let you touch me one day, Itachi-san.” He was at the top of the stairs when he stopped. “He’s in my room. Make ready his breakfast and bathe him. I’m sure he must still be dirty from our encounter.” Orochimaru turned. “And Itachi-“ Orochimaru looked back half way. “-find out the boy’s name.” He disappeared and left Itachi at the foot of the stairs. He didn’t seem to mind the instructions as he turned and started walking down the hall to Orochimaru’s chamber.

It had been a day since he’d seen the boy and he hadn’t thought about him much until now. He couldn’t seem to pinpoint why the boy seemed so nostalgic. He walked slowly as he thought about his childhood. He had a brother, he knew that much, but that boy had died very young. Itachi could remember his mother crying for weeks after what his father called ‘The Incident’

Itachi pushed the double doors open and walked through the first vacant room and into the bedroom portion of the lower hall. He pushed the door open slightly to see the boy bundled under the covers with no sign that he was even breathing. He pulled the covers back slowly and saw the younger laying on his side curled into a ball. Itachi’s heart skipped a small beat but he didn’t notice as he stared.

The first time Itachi had seen him, he was sleep stricken and the bags under his eyes were thick. Now he seemed to be in a peaceful state. Itachi wondered what kind of horrible things Orochimaru had done to him thus far. The poor boy was probably sleeping so late in the day due to exhaustion.

Itachi just waited like that for awhile. Not moving and not wanting to wake the sleeping boy. His skin looked flawless and his hair was thick and silky. The older couldn’t help but question his parent’s truth about what happened to his brother. This boy would be his brother if he were alive today.

Something must have startled the boy because he rolled over and when he opened his eyes wide to reveal that deep color-

‘Sasuke…’
