Societal Gap

The Bandits, The Knife and Naruto

Warning: Violence…a whole lot of violence. Um we’ll put down language and slight sexual situations.

Disclaimer: I don’t own any of the characters except Rei. Love her or hate her she’s all mine.

Sasuke and Naruto looked at each other, eyes wide. In unison they moved toward the door, Naruto grabbing his and Rei’s sword on his way out. Sasuke grabbed his own, attaching the scabbard to his hip in one smooth motion. They stepped out into the pouring rain surveying the scene.

Ten, no, twelve men were scattered around the cottage. Three were up at the paddock trying to get ropes around the horses’ necks; two were looting the saddles from the storage shed; several more were advancing on Rei, jeering and licking their lips hungrily.

A strangled scream of rage escaped Naruto’s throat as he darted forward swinging his sword wildly.

“Get away from her!” he screamed dashing towards the group of men. Sasuke followed close behind. There was no way he was going to let anything happen to the best friends he’d ever had; especially not to Naruto. He felt nauseous thinking about what he would do if Naruto got hurt.

“Naruto, calm down! You need to focus or you’re going to get yourself killed!” Suddenly he felt a painful grip on his arm. He turned and cold realization hit him as he recognized the man that had accosted him just a few nights earlier. He tried to wrench from the man’s grasp but was unable to yet again.

“Hello my pretty. Did you miss me? I was so sorry that we didn’t finish what we started that I thought I’d bring some more friends and see if we couldn’t pick up where we left off.” The man twisted the pale arm he was holding behind the raven’s back and started molesting the teen with his other.

“Uh, yeah I think that’s where we left off,” the man hissed into Sasuke’s ear, grinding his erection on the teen’s ass. Naruto skidded to a stop on the wet ground, switching directions.

“Sasuke!” A piercing scream from Rei stopped him in his tracks again. She was now pinned to the ground and two men were pulling and tearing her hide vest and white shirt away from her body. He turned back to Sasuke frantically, not sure who to help.

“I’m fine! Go. Go help her.” With that Naruto ran towards the group of men, slicing his sword into one of the men holding her arms, sending blood flying in all directions. A few of the men growled and ran after the boy, who was heading back to help his lover.

Rei lifted a soaked and muddy arm brining her fingers to her lips letting out several piercing whistles.

Sirus leapt over the paddock fence and into the fray, rearing and bringing his hooves down on another of the men that were holding Rei down. She brought her free hand up to one of the men and jabbed him in the eyes, kicking furiously with her one free leg to remove the last of her captors. The odds were to against them to worry about fighting dirty.

She stroked the hindquarters of her beloved horse before swatting Sirus to get him out of danger.

She ran towards the men who were advancing on her Kit, kicking one of them off his feet and savagely kicking his head, knocking him out instantly. She stopped dead in her tracks and could only marvel at Naruto. The blonde had a sword in each had and was wielding both expertly, blocking and parrying every thrust and swing that was made at him. However she must have hesitated a moment to long as a hand connected with her jaw making her fly back into the mud, pain and the taste of blood were evident and blackness flashed over her eyes. She shook her head but the heavy, foggy feeling refused to release her. She tried to stand. Her body didn’t want to work. She felt hands roughly pull her to her feet and slam her body into the wall of the cottage. Unable to fight back she dropped her head to her chest and submitted her body to the ravaging hands.

Naruto was swinging his swords with precision. Rei had just knocked out one of the men that had been advancing on him. He deflected two blows skillfully, pushing one of the men into a tree with his foot. The clashing of the blonde’s blades echoed through the glade as he fought his way towards Sasuke. Growling he thrust his blade to the hilt into his last opponent’s chest. Blood spurt all over him as he yanked his sword free, and he moved to save his lover.

Sasuke grimaced as the disgusting man ran his tongue along his pale neck. He struggled but only succeeded in straining his restrained arm. The man’s free hand groped down Sasuke’s body, moaning when it found its objective. Sasuke snarled in disgust as the man abused him through his pants. The man was so engrossed in his ministrations that he didn’t see Naruto sneak up behind him. The blonde tapped the man on the shoulder making him separating him slightly from his captive. Naruto smacked him over the head with the hilt of his sword. The man groaned and fell to the ground clutching his bleeding skull. Naruto jumped on him holding his sword to the man’s throat, unable to keep his irate voice from shaking.

“DON’T. YOU. DARE. TOUCH. HIM. AGAIN. EVER!!” He stuck the man with all his might as in the face. He rushed to Sasuke pulling him into his body and kissing him deeply. Sasuke clutched his rescuer tightly, not wanting to let go.

“Are you alright?” Sasuke sighed at the calming voice in his ear.

“Yes. Yes I’m fine, thanks to you.” Naruto smiled at his partner gently caressing his face.

“You need to get out of her. Now! If anything were to happen to you…”

“No, I’m not leaving you. I won’t! Don’t ask me again.”

“You have to! If you die your father’s knights will kill us either way! Go! Please. I need to know you’re safe.” Sasuke’s resolve wavered when he looked into the blonde’s hopelessly blue eyes.

“Okay. Be careful.” He kissed the blonde teen again and moved away towards the paddock to retrieve Sakai. Strong hangs grabbed him before he had taken more than five steps.

“Sasuke!” Naruto tried to dart towards his precious person when Sasuke’s molester grabbed him and held a knife to his throat.

“You’re going to pay for that my pretty little bitch! Oh yes, you will pay.” Naruto’s eyes darted between the two men holding his lover and the man who was molesting his sister. The men were regrouping. Three men were getting up off the ground making the total number of opponents eight. Hope left him as he tried to calculate his options, nothing was coming to him.

“Sasuke! No! You must get free!” His subjugator pressed his knife to his jugular with more force drawing blood. He closed his eyes and waited what ever would come next.

The young Uchiha struggled against the two men who were restraining him, rage seething from every inch of him. He could no longer hear Naruto but could hear the blonde encouraging him to get away. He could see a barely conscious Rei, whose body was being ravaged against the stones of the cottage. He dropped his head to his chest, praying for a miracle.

His head lifted as he heard the unmistakable sound of hooves and arrows being loosed, his miracle appearing in the form of Kakashi, Iruka, Asuma and Shikimaru. Kakashi spurred his horse forward as the three men who had righted themselves and were advancing were struck with arrows and fell back to the ground. He slashed his sword though one of the men holding his student. Iruka and Asuma and Shikimaru dismounted and rushed forward to fight the other man holding their lord who had just been walloped in the stomach and fallen to the muddy earth. Shikimaru started fighting fiercely as Asuma rushed past him and slew the man that was assaulting the brunet female. She collapsed into his arms her legs still unable to hold her weight. He helped the shaky young woman to her feet. Sasuke was now being supported by Shikimaru as Iruka slew the last man. Sasuke turned to his friend who was propping him up, his voice breathy.

“Insanely… amazing… timing.” Shikimaru smiled.

“We aim to please.” Sasuke turned his attention to Rei who was clutching one of Asuma’s thick arms, shaking her head trying to clear her head.

“Are you alright?” She raised her eyes to look at the teen, composure quickly returning. She raised her hand and gingerly touched her jaw and split lip.

“Yeah. Yes I’m fine.” Her head darted around.

“Kit? Kit? Are you oka… Naruto! NOOOO!” She screamed and pushed off Asuma’s broad chest. Sasuke turned slowly, dread sinking in to every inch of his body. He paled and whispered as he saw Rei screaming over the body of her brother, a knife sticking from the tanned chest.

“Naruto. No!”

A/N: Oh I’m so evil! I hate it when authors leave me with a cliffhanger and here I am doing the same thing. Thank you to all my readers who have added me to their alert lists, and thank you so much to everyone who reviewed. I’m dying to get some insight into my OC. Love her? Hate her? I have some great ideas for later and she is somewhat expendable so let me know what you think. The next chapter will be very short. Just giving you fair warning. It should be up by tomorrow. Well later today because it’s after midnight…
