Chapter 6: Marking


----------Sasuke----------

Weeks had gone by and Naruto continued to open up about his past. It just made me love him even more. Is ‘love’ too strong of a word? We’ve been together for two months.

But I’ve never felt so strong about anyone before. I guess I do love him, that would explain why I’m at his friends shop waiting to get my tattoo. He kissed my temple, a motion he knew calms my nerves.

“Is it that noticeable that I’m nervous?” My voice is wavering.

“Yeah, you’re paler than usual. Don’t worry you’ll be fine.” He speaks with such confidence.

My insecurities washed away when Naruto grabbed my hand and gave it a light squeeze. The calmness didn’t last for long. It was shattered when a man with a cat eared hoodie and tattoos on his face entered the room.

“Kankuro!”

“Hey Naruto! What can I do for you?”

“My boyfriend, Sasuke, is getting this tattooed on his lower back.”

He handed Kankuro the drawing.

“Okay, to the back.”

We all headed to an empty room. I lay down on the leather chair. I closed my eyes and tried to relax. There was nothing but silence except for the light whispers, and then I heard the door. Where’s Naruto going?

I became distracted when cool air hit my back. He made the transfer. The sound of the needle caused my entire body to tense. Before the needle hit my skin I felt lips press against my ear.

“Relax babe.”

My eyes shot open. I turned and looked into humored blue orbs.

“I thought you left.”

“I’d never leave you.” I noticed Naruto's gloved hands holding the needle.

“You’re tattooing me?”

“Yeah, just think of it as another mark, just permanent.”

I relaxed a bit, knowing that Naruto was going to ‘mark’ me.

“How long have you been doing this?”

“I’ve been an apprentice for two years. Kankuro just made this my room.”

As we talked I felt the needle pierce my skin. It was painful and burned.

“When did you find the time?”

“I never finished high school. I usually spent my time here.”

“Hn.”

“Hey Sasuke, did you always have that scar on your back?”

“Umm….yeah.”

“It looks like a comma.”

The sound of the needle filled the room. I looked back to see that he started to color it. Within minutes it was finished. It looked amazing. A chibi orange fox rested in the middle of a purple-blue cloud swirl. I shivered when Naruto kissed it.

We said our goodbyes to Kankuro. Naruto dropped me off at the personal Hell that unfortunately was my home. My parents were out but I noticed my brother had stayed in. I walked through the house comfortably.

As I reached my room, I heard soft sobs and whimpers coming from across the hall. Pressing my ear against the door the sobs became louder. Why was Sai crying? I knocked softly on the door.

“Sai?” The sobs stop for a moment before returning full force and slightly louder.

I gently pushed the door open. His room was dark. The only light came from the moon that shined through the bay windows. Half the room was still in darkness and it was from there the crying echoed. I flicked on the light to find my brother cradled in the corner of the room. I walked over and tried to put my arms around him. Sai shoved me away.

“Don’t touch me! Just go away. I hate you!” Words spoken with such venom and malice, made me pull away but stare at him in confusion.

“What? Why?”

“It’s your fault!” He screams at me as he moves his arms away from his face. His eyes are blood shot, his hair messy and ruffled, his lips chapped and slightly busted, with finger shaped bruises appearing along his jaw line.

“What did I do?”

“You abandoned me. If you were home I wouldn’t be touched. If you weren’t out getting fucked by your boyfriend I wouldn’t be left home alone to get fucked by Dad!” His accusations are accurate but very self centered.

“I’m sorry,” is all I can muster. He’s so selfish.

“Fuck you. You have no idea what its like to be alone.” He states blindly.

How could he say such a thing? I’ve been alone ever since ‘Aniki’ left. I was abandoned and on my own from the start.

“No, it is you that has no idea what it is like. You were too young to remember. Mom always did a good job of shielding you, her favorite son.” We both flinch at the venom I spit. “I was abandoned at the age of nine. He was twelve. Father used to always abuse him. Every night I could hear him scream and beg for it to stop.” My voice broke as I remembered his screams. “He used to always protect me from Father. Then one day he finally broke. He couldn’t take it anymore. He ran away in the night. I was left alone with Father’s rage and frustration from that night forward! For the last eight years! So don’t you dare say you’ve been abandoned and that I don’t know what it feels like!”

I stormed out of his room and slammed the door to my room. I sat at my bay window and looked at the star filled sky.

“Where are you big brighter?” I absent mindedly touched the comma like scar on my back, that he gave me. “Itachi…” I whisper before fading into a day dream.

Hours had passed and my parents returned. I locked the door and decided to barricade it with my armoire. Feeling as safe as I possibly could, I slowly drifted to sleep.

The next day I quickly got ready for school. As I walked out the door, I could see Sai skateboard around the corner.

Forgetting Sai I made my way to school. The day was going by slower then usual. I rejoiced inside when it was finally time for lunch. I made my way to hang outside with Hinata and Kiba.

----------Naruto----------

I stood on the corner with Kiba and Hinata.

“I saw Sasuke’s tattoo.” Kiba smirks.

“Yeah, that fox is so cute.” Hinata giggles.

“Hinata it’s not there to look cute. It’s there to show he belongs to Naruto.” Kiba explained knowingly.

“Like the way your symbol is the fangs on your cheek?” She asked with a light blush.

“Yep….speaking of foxes here comes yours, Naruto.” Kiba wiggles his eyebrows.

I looked up to see Sasuke coming towards us. Taking one last drag of my cigarette and flicked it out. I’ve never seen Sasuke look so depressed. When he looked up a smile crossed his face. As he crossed the street I noticed what he was wearing, tight black hip hugging jeans and a belly shirt that said ‘Seme’. He launched himself into my chest.

“Hey baby.” We exchanged a passionate kiss.

“What are you wearing?”

“You like it?” He asked with a blush.

I watched as he turned around. His tattoo was completely visible and it turned me on. I grabbed him from behind and brought him close. I whispered into his ear.

“You have no idea of how much I like it. I just want to rip them off and fuck you.” Sasuke moaned underneath me. His hips ground back into mine. “For someone who’s a seme you sure do act like a uke.”

“Old habits die quick. This is the first relationship I’ve been in where I was the uke.”

“Aww…poor baby, you know you like being the uke.” He grinded his hips into mine harder as a response.

“Someone’s playing dirty.”

“Just how I like it.” He smirks at me.

I turned him in my arms and kissed his soft lips. I pulled his body closer to me and started to nibble on his neck. He moaned in euphoria.

“Naruto”

I made my way towards his Adams apple. Sasuke’s head dipped back allowing me more access.

“Naruto….need you…now.” His moans are breath taking. His need is evident in his cloudy black eyes.

“What do you want baby?” My voice is hushed with lust.

“I want you….now. Fuck me.” His words are dripping with need.

“GET A ROOM!” A disgruntled Kiba shouted as he hugged a blushing Hinata.

I looked over to Kiba and gave him the finger. Then I felt soft bits on my neck.

“My place or yours?” He paused.

“Mine, its closer.”


---------Sasuke---------

When we arrived I quickly led Naruto to my room. I turned and our lips connected. The feel of Naruto’s hands roaming over my body sent me into overdrive. I started to tug on his clothes.

“Off.”

We parted and quickly pulled our cloths off. Completely surpassing the foreplay I pulled Naruto onto the bed. I moaned as his lips traveled down my body. My skin burned under his touch. I pulled him up for a kiss.

We turned over. Just because I’m the uke it doesn’t mean I don’t have to be on the bottom, nor that I want to. Naruto tried to get back on top.

“Don’t worry baby, you’ll still be fucking me.” I searched the nightstand for lube but it wasn’t there. “Be right back.”

“Oh, come on!”

I smiled at the view of Naruto and his hard on standing tall. Quick steps brought me to the bathroom. I paused for a moment, oddly enough the door was closed. Lightly I knocked and received no response. I wonder who could be home. I thought as I slowly pushed the door open. I stepped into the bathroom and turned toward the tub and there was Sai, lying in the tub now filled with a reddish pink water with an empty bottle of Mother’s old sleeping pills laying on the side of the tub. I screamed at the top of my lungs. Naruto ran into the room wearing his boxers. I was pulling Sai out of the tub and managed to wrap him on a towel and apply pressure to his wrists. The cuts are too deep.

“Holy shit!” After he spoke I saw his mouth moving but was unable to hear what he was saying. He watched as he moved out of view and then came back a few minutes later fully dress. Naruto's fingers gripped at my arms and forced me to look at him.

“Come on Sasuke. You have to get dressed before the ambulance comes.” He urged me to stand and I just gripped onto Sai harder. I refused to leave him. I had already done it once before and look at the end result.

“No! I can’t leave him.”

“Come on!” He pried me away from Sai and pulled me away into the bedroom where he forced me to get dressed. Once he saw I was to hysterical and disorientated to dress myself he took it upon himself to do it for me. And afterward he allowed me to go back into the bathroom and hold Sai until the EMTs arrived. I should have protected him better. It’s all my fault. I thought as the EMTs loaded Sai into the ambulance and headed off towards the hospital with Naruto and I following right behind in the pickup.

Naruto and I sat in the waiting room. An hour had passed. I was asleep but woke when I felt kisses on my forehead.

“Huh…what? Can we see him?” I asked looking up into tired eyes.

“No baby. I gotta get Konohamaru. I just wanted to wake you, to let you know that I’m leaving.”

“Okay.” We kissed and I wrapped my arms around his neck. I kissed him like it’d be our last. A whine escaped my mouth as we parted.

“I’ll come back later.”

I nodded in understanding. We kiss again and then I watched him disappear down the hallway. I sat in the dim waiting room. My eyes peered over the stacks of magazines. There’s no point in reading them, I’m too anxious and nervous for the boring articles to keep my attention.

A few minutes had passed and my parents finally showed. My mother embraced me as if I was going to fade away at any moment.

“How is he?”

“I don’t know. No one’s told me anything.”

Mother’s eyes dropped to the floor. Her body slumped into the blue cushion chair. I was sick of waiting. I couldn’t sit in this seat anymore. Slowly I made my way to the bathroom. Thoughts of Sai continued to invade my mind.

As I washed my hands two arms snaked around my waist. I knew it was him. He breathed in heavily, burying his face in my neck before his lips pressed against my neck than traveled to my ear.

“Mmm…it’s been so long since I’ve tasted you. Why have you been avoiding me?” His hand traveled under my shirt.

“Stop it!”

“I’ve been nothing but polite, you should be punished for your rudeness.”

“Fuck you. It’s your fault where here in the first place.”

“I wouldn’t have touched Sai if you would listen to me and be home more. And not out with that idiot, Naruto.”

“Please, not now.” He turned me in his arms.

“You're so cute when you beg.”

I could feel his sharp teeth graze my neck. He was so rough; it was hard to keep back my moans of pain that brought him pleasure.

“You're just as cute as Itachi and this is much better than the one Naruto gave you.” I laughed to myself.

“It’ll never be as good as Naruto's.” He started to bite and suck at the same spot again. “You can bite me all you want but your mark will fade away, Naruto's never will.” I looked towards my back and he looked at my back in the mirror. “You like it Daddy, its Naruto's mark. I belong to him, not you.”

The sound of the bathroom door broke the silence. He stepped away from me. I took this as my opportunity to leave.

I left the hospital and walked to a fast food place down the street. My cell rang. The screen said ‘Naruto’

“Hey.”

“Hey, how’s your brother?”

“I don’t know, no one’s said anything.”

“Okay, I’ll be there in a few minutes.”

“No, its okay you don’t have to come.”

“What’s wrong?”

“Nothing.”

“You're lying. Before you didn’t want me to leave and now you don’t want me there. Baby what's wrong?”

“……”

“Your Father’s there, isn’t he?”

“Yeah.”

“I’m coming.”

He hung up before I could respond. I ate quickly then made my way to the entrance. I waited in the warm winter night for Naruto to show. My stomach fluttered with happiness when I saw his pickup pull in.

Before we walked in I made him promise not to start anything. As we walked closer and closer to the waiting area my happiness turned to fear and dread. The waiting room was empty and I was thankful.

“I guess they went into Sai’s room.”

Heading in the direction of the room I could hear shouting. It was my Father’s voice. Naruto and I walked into the hospital room.

What I saw shocked me. As we went unnoticed by everyone, I couldn’t stop staring at the figure in front of me. It couldn’t be, what's he doing here? I wanted to call him but my throat was suddenly dry.

“Sasuke.” Everyone’s head turned to Sai, lying in the bed.
“Sai.” I walked to his bed side. He ushered me to come closer.
“Sasuke make him leave.”

I knew he was talking about Father. I slowly stood in front of the man, the cause of my never ending nightmares. I looked in to the dark eyes that resemble mine and drew a shaky breath.

“He wants you to leave.”

I could see the rage build as he clenched his fist. Before I knew it his right fist was heading for my face. Before I could react, Naruto caught my Father’s fist in his left hand. Then his right first hooked my Father in the face. Blood split from his mouth.

“You should leave Fugaku.” Father looked up at the man that I haven’t seen in years.
“I don’t take orders from sluts like you two.”

I could see Naruto tense. Then I noticed another figure step out from the corner of the room. His skin was pale but had a bluish tint to it and his face resembled that of a shark.

“I suggest you do as Itachi says.”

He cracked his large knuckles as emphasis that plenty of more hits would follow Naruto's. I watched as my Father left the room, my Mother not far behind. She gave us a look goodbye.

”Sasuke…” My name was said slowly in a slow regretful tone.

I turned to my older brother.

“Itachi…how?” My eyes started to water.

He pulled me into a hug.

“It doesn’t matter, I’m here now.”

“Don’t leave again.”

“I promise… I won’t.”

We turned when we heard a whimper come from the bed. Sai was desperately scratching at his bandages. He acted as though he was in pain as he whined.

“Stupid bandages, they itch like hell.”

“Well maybe you shouldn’t have tried to kill yourself.” I snap suddenly succumbing to the stress of the last several hours.

Sai’s eyes looked down with hurt.

“Sai, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have said that.” I gently stroked his smoother hair.

“No you're right. I should be apologizing for the way that I acted. For all of the years that you’ve suffered, I should be grateful for what you’ve done for me. I'm sorry that I've been taking you for granted and shoving all that you’ve sacrificed in your face.”

I wrapped my arms around him and pulled him into an embrace. The drugs in Sai’s IV started to kick in. Soon Sai was sound asleep.

From the corner of my eye I noticed that Naruto and shark boy where talking as thou they had known each other for years. Itachi noticed the confused look on my face.

“Oh, Sasuke, this is my boyfriend, Kisame.” I smiled as we shook hands.

“This is my boyfriend Naruto. Naruto this is my older brother, Itachi.”
