He Walked Away

{Ahem...I do not own Naruto.}



He Walked Away...



{Sasuke's POV}



Naruto was panting he had given me a run for my money. All I had to do to get the power I needed was to snuff out that light. How could I not want that?! He was freaking annoying. 'I hate him! He made me care. I hate him! He saw through me. I hate him! He made me doubt. I hate him! He...he...made...me...love. Why don't you just give up you bastard? I hit him with a chidori at close range. I was so close to him I-I should have finished him off...Naruto lay there panting unable to move, so helpless so broken, "I love you Sasuke." I think I died a little when he said that...



"I love you too dobe," I was resting up after another heavy training session with my new sensei. I found myself thinking about that day at the valley of the end, Naruto, I left him for dead. I couldn't bring myself to kill the boy. He was closer to me then anyone in my family had ever been. Naruto looked beautiful blood gurgling up from his mouth charred flesh and a huge gaping hole in his chest, then he said something that had haunted my nights and much of my days.



"...I love you Sasuke..."



I heard a couple of Orochimaru's men chatting about the newest capture. The nine tails container was brought the demon was going to be extracted. That had my attention, 'Naruto? No it couldn't be the dobe got himself caught.'



"Uzumaki will be ready for extraction a few minutes", 'Damn, you idiot!’ I ran to Kabuto's laboratory to look in on the idiot. I was not expecting what I saw. Naruto was pale, ashy pale, he was skin and bones. Hell they had not even bothered to strap him down. I saw where they had carelessly ripped out his IV leaving a large gash in the back of his right hand. He was still wearing the ID bracelet from the hospital, 'What the hell happened dobe? Why, why aren't those wounds healing? Why won't you open your damnable eyes so I can see that pure blue only you and the sky seem to share.'



"He's in a coma Uchiha-sama," Kabuto announced as if he was reading my mind. Hell It was written all over my face I'm sure of that. The medic snickered, "Seems he's been this way for quite some time, almost a year if the bracelet tells the truth." I lifted his hand and there on the bracelet the admission date, 'The day of our fight? He's been in the freaking coma for almost a year!'



My fingers trembled fighting the urge to touch his face to trace the whisker scars. 'Why did you give up? Why? Don't tell me it's because of me! Don't give me that crap! You lazy bastard they are going to kill you! Heh, Why should I care? I don't know, maybe ‘cause I love you, you freaking idiot! What?! I-I-I...I do, don't I? Damn-it! I love the bastard I love him so much it hurts and I can't, no I won't let this happen.'



I wanted nothing more then to rip the boy off the metal examination table, 'He's not a freaking corpse put him in a bed!' Kabuto looked down at the dobe, my dobe. He ran a finger across the whisker markings, "He's very beautiful, He could pass for a girl. I wonder..."



"Oh god, your not thinking of turning the freak into a girl," I grimace at my own words, 'He's not a freak! Why did I say that?'



"No, I doubt he will survive the process...Bu-ut If he does survive he'd make an excellent toy for lord Orochimaru. You well know he has a preference to little boys." He gave me a knowing look, and no I had not done that with him.



"I might keep him myself, if he proves compliant, He's very pretty. I remember seeing those eyes. That color is rare. He sorely needs some sun, but if he's a good boy he may get some." I didn't want to believe what he was saying but there the man was molesting his face. He removed the hospital gown and began examining the curse mark. He traced it with a finger. 'Hell no eyes up top!' He was raping my dobe, with his eyes, 'Did I just think that? My dobe, Yeah, he is, so back the fuck off!'. I knew he was a sick piece of shit, but I thought he only had eyes for the snake sannin.



"So fragile," Kabuto's hand roamed the soft flesh of Naruto's stomach. "...Just like I like them, Ahem, could you give us some privacy I need to prep the subject for extraction," I didn't move. A slimy hand slithered around my neck tracing my collar bone in a way that made me want to wretch, "It's time for you to go Sasuke-kun," Orochimaru hissed in my ear. I knew I had no choice in the matter, he was still too powerful for me. Nothing I can do to stop it. 'I despise myself.'
