Savin' Me

I thank you all for reading and reviewing… Here is the next piece and I apologize for stopping short of a lemon and leaving a sort of cliffy… evil aren’t I? Anyway it will give you something to look forward to. It’s getting late and I need sleep.

Savin’ Me continued….

“I’ve thought about this a lot, but I want to go to this village and check things out before we tell anyone,” said Iruka to Naruto the next morning.

“But how are we going to get there without anyone knowing?”

“I am going to take a vacation, and who said anything about we?”

Naruto grinned. Iruka rolled his eyes; he knew he would not win an argument with him if his mind were made up.

“Fine us. But you’ll have to make up your own excuse.”

“I’ll think of something, and we shouldn’t leave together. How about we agree to meet at a village and go on from there?”

“Good idea Naruto. So, I’ll be off to arrange my vacation. See you later.”

Naruto was able to get away with a need for some wilderness training on his own. He set off as quickly as he could. Meeting up with Iruka at the appointed place they headed off together. It would still take them a few days to get there.

They stopped outside the village once they arrived.

“Naruto, I think you should change your appearance. We don’t want them to get edgy if you turn up again. If we are to find a way to get him out of here we don’t want them to recognize us.”

“What about you?”

Iruka did some hand signs and changed into the Nin that had challenged him and the rest of the rookies before the chunin exams. Naruto chose the form of a tall red head with green eyes and a lanky body. They nodded to each other before heading into town.

There was nothing happening around the brothel that Naruto led Iruka passed. They headed for the inn Naruto had used before. No one was talking about the whore like last time either, so he must have been behaving himself. They decided they would go out later in the evening to see if there were any of the brothel’s whores hanging around outside.

They walked by slowly watching the females trying to lure visiting males to go with them inside. There was a lone male whore leaning against a post away from them, they had the best positions, but to any guy who wanted him, they would see him. The Naruto saw someone he did recognize, the brothel owner, the one he had seen beating Ka—the Bitch. He was smoking a cigar and smiling at the girls showing off their wares and watching as one of them picked up a customer and wandered inside.

They passed by slowly, Naruto wanted to see what the owner was up to. He saw a man come up to him. “Is he available?”

“Much as your money is welcome here, Aoki, the Bitch is busy tonight. The gentlemen from the city.”

“The drug dealers that took over Gato’s territory? Both of them?”

“They paid for their fun, been here all day and they have him for the night too.”

“Suppose he won’t be in much condition for more?”

“He works when I order it.”

“But I want to enjoy myself with him, he’d be no fun after them, they looked like cruel bastards.”

“The Bitch can take it. I bought him for his strength as well as his beauty.”

“Was he a soldier? Where’d he come from?”

“Does it matter, he’s mine now, he makes me more money than any of those shitty girls.”

“Shoji, someone will go too far with him one day.”

“If anyone kills my property they’d better be prepared to pay with their lives. I won’t lose the Bitch to anyone.”

They had to move on or it would look suspicious, they got some drinks at a bar further down.

“This does not sound good Naruto. I don’t think this is going to be an easy mission at all.”

“Mission huh?”

“We have to be serious here. Just hearing what he did was enough to worry me that he won’t let go of Kakashi without a fight. I doubt he lives at the brothel, we need to find where he does and learn as much as we can about what we are up against.”

Naruto nodded, “Can I watch the brothel?”

“Sure, but when the owner moves you follow. I’ll see what I can learn from the locals about him. Meet you back at the room later.” Then Iruka poofed away.

Naruto did the same, reappearing on a roof across from the brothel where he settled down to keep an eye on the place. He watched as men came by and let a girl lure them inside. He even saw the male finally get picked and disappear inside. The females usually reappeared an hour or so later, waited for another customer and went back in. He saw a few of them come and go about four times before the streets became quiet and no one else came by. He wished he knew what was happening to…in the brothel. Hearing of those two gangsters allowed to have him for a day, allowed to do what they wanted. He had to shake his head, he didn’t want think about that. But—but his mind kept wandering back to the man’s face. The man’s uncovered face. And the night they had spent together.

He was shocked out of his drifting thoughts when he saw the owner come out of the brothel, light up a new cigar and move off down the street. A skinny man followed him carrying a bag, probably the takings for the night. They continued down the main street, eventually turning off and up a long laneway. This lead to a high walled place with metal gates that opened when the owner pressed a button he had fished from his pants pocket. He went through the gate turned and took the bag from the skinny man, nodded, turned, closing the gates as he moved off alone. The skinny man hurried back the way he had come.

Naruto continued to follow over the roofs of the town, then through the trees of the owner’s property which led to a huge mansion, perhaps the biggest Naruto had ever seen. He moved to a lighted window and listened to what was going on inside.

The owner entered the lighted room which was a dining room. He sat down at the set table and rang a bell that sat on the table. An older man entered carrying a covered tray which he set down in front of the owner.

“Thank you Yoshi put this in the safe please.”

“Yes Master Hirose,” said the man taking the bag, after uncovering the tray. He left the room and his Master set about eating his meal at the huge table, set for one.

The servant returned minutes later and waited for his Master to finish his meal. The man ate his fill, sat back and belched, before getting up from his seat and heading off. Yoshi cleared up behind him, then hurried upstairs after his Master. On the upper storey there was only one light on as well, the Master’s bedroom. He had already undressed and gotten into his bed. The servant picked up the discarded clothes and left just as the Master turned off the light. Yoshi knew the house though, and he went downstairs to the servants quarters where the female servant doing the dishes. Yoshi dumped his Master’s clothes to be washed, then they both went off to their rooms.

In such a huge place, it seemed there were only three occupants.

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

Naruto returned to the room to find Iruka already there, lying with a hand over his forehead as if he had a headache.

“You okay Iruka?”

“Yeah. Must be getting old if I can’t handle drinking any more.”

Naruto laughed, “Maybe we should have switched places. All I did was watch the brothel from the roof, boring!!! And then when Shoji Hirose came out I followed him to this big old mansion where he lives all alone with just two servants. He hasn’t even got any dogs. The place is huge, but he’s there all alone.”

“He’s the richest man in the area. He has a couple of other brothels in other towns, but this is his main one. Only runs girls out of the other ones. Found that guy, Aoki, in another bar and plied him with booze, got a lot of info out of him. Shoji Hirose as you know his name to be comes from this village. He makes a lot of money out of his brothels and black-marketing. Gets a lot of his black-marketing done through this brothel because no one around here really knows about it. Though Aoki does because he’s done some work for Hirose in return for favors, and you can guess with whom. The headache’s because he went into detail about what he did with… the Bitch. That’s about as much as anyone knows about Kakashi here. Though because of that I learned another detail, below the brothel there’s a large underground area. The play area which apparently contains a dungeon as well.” Iruka sat up on the edge of the bed. “Five years, Naruto. Five years ago Hirose brought Kakashi here and installed him in the brothel. What happened in that year when Kakashi went missing and wound up here, I couldn’t learn about. Aoki didn’t know about that.” Iruka rubbed at his eyes.

Naruto looked at his old sensei and could see his shoulders shaking, “Iruka.”

“Why didn’t we search for him more thoroughly? Aoki’s stories… I wanted to be sick. He has a kink that Hirose is happy to indulge, and not just him. In that play area I told you about… He lets others watch what’s being done to….”

Naruto was clenching his fists. He was angry that day he had seen… the beating. To imagine anything worse…

Iruka’s head jerked up, “Naruto, stop it, I can feel you chakra levels rising. We can’t have anyone here knowing we are both ninja, we can’t have Hirose worried that his brothel might be under surveillance for any reason.”

Naruto relaxed a little.

“Aoki mentioned security inside the brothel. What do you remember?”

“There was a camera in the room.”

Again Iruka’s head jerked up, “You knew you were being filmed?”

“I really didn’t have much time to think about it. The whore… got down on his knees and sucked me off.”

Iruka blushed and a few seconds later Naruto did too. Iruka nodded, Naruto had told him what had happened, but not the details, not that he wanted to hear them now.

“So there are cameras, probably all over the place. Any muscle?”

“I didn’t see anyone. I was escorted to the room by a smallish guy, Masaki. I didn’t see anyone while I was waiting, but that doesn’t mean they weren’t there.”

“Exactly. If this is Hirose’s main house and he has what he has downstairs he’d have someone around to protect his property. And he seems to value Kakashi as a source of revenue. You must have paid a high price for him?”

“Ah, yeah. I didn’t spend much on the mission, I blew the lot there.”

“That wasn’t in your report.”

“You didn’t take my report, how do you know?”

Iruka smiled innocently as if he knew everything.

“The brothel was after the mission and no one said I couldn’t spend the expense money.”

“I’m sure the Hokage would love to know who you spent it.”

“Iruka, she might any way if we get Kakashi out.”

“We’ll worry about that later. Now we need to find out about the security. We need to get inside there. Any suggestions besides as a customer?”

“Um, no. I think to begin with that will be the only way to check the place out. If we don’t think of him as our friend… Have you…been with a man before?”

Iruka blushed again and very quietly answered, “Yes.”

Naruto didn’t say a word. “I have enough for one visit. I could go in first, if you want?”

“I have enough. I need to see him for myself. But not right now, I need sleep, and like he said, there’s not much use trying today, he’s occupied.”

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

The next night Iruka henged into the ninja he had came into the village as, but this time the hitai-ite was scratched through the middle, indicating that he was a missing Nin.

Naruto nodded at him, “I think I’ll hit the bars tonight, you never know, I might pick up some more information.”

“Just don’t get drunk.”

Naruto bowed, “Yes sensei, of course sensei.”

“And cut that out. I am not your sensei anymore.”

“I’ll see you back here when you get back,” winked Naruto before he disappeared out the door.

Iruka sighed heavily. He knew what he was about to do, and if he didn’t think of who it was he was about to hire… He headed out of the inn and walked towards the brothel. Once again the females were there, trying to lure men in. One of them approached him when he stopped outside. He pushed her off roughly. She righted herself and called out for Masaki. The small man came out and stood in front of the ninja.

“How can we be of assistance to you, Master Ninja?”

“I am not interested in female company, I heard you have males here.”

“You have heard correctly sir. We have three males here, one is occupied at the moment, but we have two others, one quite young and new to the business and an older male that can do anything you wish. However, he commands a rather high price for these services.”

“I’m not into boys. I have money, I have a large appetite.”

“Then the Bitch will more than satisfy you. The night?”

“Yes.”

“We will require payment before you enter the room, do you require privacy?”

“Yes. I would rather my identity not be known.”

“We have a room downstairs we have set aside for such a thing. The owner is very protective of this particular asset, he being a slave. While you can do anything you like, you must remember that he is an asset and must be treated as such. The owner does not like for this slave to be out of circulation for more than a day.”

Iruka nodded, seething inside. “I will do nothing to harm this slave. I have a need for sex. The longer, the better.”

“Very well, if you will wait a moment at the bar, I will get everything set for you.”

Iruka was led to the bar and he stood there waiting, not taking the drink offered to him for free.

Soon Masaki returned and led him from the room; beside the staircase was a dark corridor down which Iruka was led. There were no doorways, but there were cameras along the way. Finally they reached the back wall and Masaki turned and slid a panel open to which he placed his palm. It was read, and a door opened in the wall. They entered another small room.

“You will be required to leave any weapons here. I can assure you that they will not be touched and the box they are placed in can only be opened by you.”

Iruka nodded and began to strip himself of any weapons he was carrying and put them into the box indicated.

“There is a detector, so please make sure that everything goes in.” added Masaki.

Iruka placed the last of the weapon in the box.

“If you speak into this, use a word as a password for yourself to open the box,” said Masaki handing Iruka a small device. Iruka turned away and said the word without Masaki hearing him. The box closed and was sealed for him.

Then Masaki opened another panel and moved his eye close to the plate, a retina scanner. Recognizing him, another door slid open and they both went inside and down some stairs. Again at the bottom of the stairs there was yet another palm panel to get though and for the first time Iruka saw that there was also some human security. Two very large men stood guard at the door as well, only on the inside. They nodded to Masaki as he made his way down the corridor. Iruka noted the cameras were still present and they passed a few other doors on the way, including a set of double doors. All were closed.

Finally Masaki came to a halt in front of a door and used a keycard to open it. “I require the payment sir. “ Iruka took out his money bag and paid the agreed amount. Then he was ushered into the lit room and the door closed behind him.
