Sasuke's pain

Sasuke's POV

I sat under my small wooden table curled in a tight protective ball, my arms wrapped around my knees, shaking violently. The events that had occurred only hours ago still played horrible in my head. What was I going to tell my team mates and Kakashi? I just hope they don't come looking for me, I still need some time to recover form Orochimaru's attack. This had been the third time this past week, so by now it was beginning to screw with my head. Normally his once a month visits I could handle, but this? I was being beating down both emotionally and physically by him. He liked to mess with peoples heads, and somehow found me especially fun to torment. I think it was because I had always been the tough guy… He was just like my brother; I swear they are working in this together. I don't know how but I'm sure they are, because Orochimaru seemed to be acting just like Itachi.

"Sasuke! Sasuke are you in here? Why are you not coming to training? It started over two hours ago! Sasuke!" Naruto's annoying voice came as he knocked loudly on my door.

The racket almost gave me a heart attack. I was starting to become afraid of all the people around me, and I really didn't want him to see me like this, so I didn't answer.

"I'm coming in Sasuke! I need a sparing partner so you have to come to training… no being lazy! Besides Kakashi wants to see you... Sasuke!" His loud voice came again as he walked carefree into my small house.

"Oh please Naruto don't find me." I prayed silently in my head, as I heard him stomp impatiently around looking for me.

"Sasuke come out! Why are you hiding? I know you're in here! I've looked every where ells. So you have..." he stopped in mid sentence as he entered my room. I knew then that there was no more hiding. Though there was no way in hell he was going to make me move. I was terrified and super pissed, so for him to come too close would be a lethal mistake. "Sasuke? is that you?.. Why are you sitting under that table?" Naruto said as he walked to the front of it and knelt down to look at me.

To his bad luck all he got was a nasty boot to the face the moment he tried to look at me. "Stay away Naruto! Don't you dare come any closer! You hear me! Go home!" I yelled feeling my voice crack in fear.

"Sasuke! Dame you, you bastard! That hurt! What the hell is your problem?" He yelled angrily sitting up and finally able to see my almost white face. "Sasuke?" He side right after in a now worried voice. "Sasuke what happened? You look, you look horrible!"

"Just leave me alone! I'll be fine… please just leave me alone…" I said less angry now, but more sad.

"What happened? Tell me Sasuke! If not then I'll drag you to Kakashi and make him get it out of you!" Naruto said quickly getting ready to form him shadow no Justu.

"Why do you make me have to hurt you before you listen?" I yelled back starting to breathe harder. My body was fare to week to fight back, even if it was only Naruto. My mind had been through more abuse then anyone ever goes through in a lifetime, and my body was beaten and battered. All I knew I could do was run. Hopefully that I could still out beat him in.

"What! No you don't, get back here! Shadow No Justu!"

The sudden sound of hundreds of Naruto's chasing after me only made me feel weaker as I dashed toward the nearby forest. Thus causing me to lose my footing and fall hard to my hands and knees. Within moments I was easily overpowered by the many Naruto's pinning me hard to the hard ground. "Ahhhhhhhh!" I yelled out in complete fear, even though I knew he wasn't going to hurt me.

"Sasuke calm down! Your ok I'm not going to hurt you!" He yelled as two other of his clones finished tying my hands and feet in such a way that moving was out of the question. "Now stay here… I'll go get Kakashi… you need to see a doctor." Naruto was now only one again, but to leave me was no worry because I was too weak to get away anyway.

I listened to his footsteps as he quickly ran to fine our teacher Kakashi. Now I was done for. How was I going to lie to him? Though I guess it didn't matter because unless they had a magic potion to make me tell the truth I was never going to tell them what was happening… for my own sake.

As much as I wanted time to almost stop it didn't. Within minuets Kakashi along with Sakura arrived, looking both confused and worried. I felt Kakashi warm hand on my back as he knelt down beside me, making me twitch in fear.

"Sasuke it's just me... we are going to take you to see a doctor ok… everything is going to be alright… just stay calm and come nicely." He said moving down to untie the ropes that Naruto had bound me with. I just went limp once I was free. I didn't want to have to face any of them, especially Naruto, the one who'd found me. "Come now Sasuke, can you walk?" Kakashi asked softly grabbing hold of my arm to help me to my feet.

I never answered, nor tried to help with standing up. I just allowed my eyes to zone out completely, though my breathing was giving my awareness away. I couldn't help that fact that I was now hyperventilating, even though I was trying desperately to calm myself.

"Oh Sasuke, what happened to you?" Sakura asked with tears in her eyes.

"I don't know but he sure packs a kick…" Naruto said dumbly rubbing the bruise I'd given him.

"Please just leave me alone…" I said weakly trying to pull myself from over Kakashi's shoulder. However he paid no attention to my pleads; only continued to take me to the hospital.

"Well he seems relatively fine… He dose have some minor injures that look as though he was beaten up or in a fight of some sort. My only other guess to his strange behavior would be that he is disturbed mentally… other then that he can go home by tomorrow." The doctor said to Kakashi then left the room.

Kakashi was the only one in my room, since Naruto and Sakura were told to go home and get some rest. So now that he had me alone I knew the questions where unavoidable. "I'm not going to tell you anything!" I said coldly rolling over so that I was facing the wall.

He just sighed then pulled out a book, I knew because I could hear him flipping through the pages. "That's fine Sasuke… If you wish not to get help for yourself then I can totally understand…" He said calmly then continued to read.

"Good… Now can I go home? I don't want to be in the fricking room anymore." I said then sat up to put my shoes back on.

"Your not going anywhere until I know what happened last night Uchiha Sasuke… so if that means that we change your mail address to room 18 of the hospital then so be it…"

I don't know if it was his annoying know it all voice that annoyed me or the face that I knew he wouldn't go back on his word no matter what I said. "You'll never keep me here…so just forget about it!"

"Well ok… have it your way.. But you know just as well as I that what I say goes, and you are not near strong enough to fight me and win…" He said then turned to another page in his book.

"Rrrrrrrr Fuck you old man!" I yelled then jumped to my feet and bolted to the open window. To my surprise I was not immediately restrained. In fact I was almost to my house by the time I saw anyone. However who I saw made me instantly wish I'd stayed at the hospital.

"So nice to see you out for a run on this fine night brother…"

My feet dug into the soft earth and I pulled to a quick stop in front of my older brother. "I-Itachi…. What….what are you doing here?" I said forgetting to hide the fear in my voice.

"What do you think little brother? You don't suppose I'd let Orochimaru have all the fun did you? It's my turn to play with you… so what would you like to do first?" My older brother said coldly moving in on me. All I could do was fall to my knees and protect my head with my hands. "Get up you fool! I'm so sick of you acting like a bloody coward. Grow some balls!" Itachi yelled then reached down to pull me up by my shirt. "Look at me boy!"

I knew now what was to come next and it took almost everything I had to obey his command. This was Orochimaru's favorite game to play when ever he had the chance. Either this or just beat me until he was satisfied. This however was much worse; I'd take a good beating any day. "No please Itachi don't!" I said shaking as I looked into his deep red Uchiha eyes. "Nooooooooooooooo!"

It was most likely mid afternoon before I awoke the next day. My head was pounding and no matter what I tried I couldn't stop my body from shaking. I was lying on my bead a small spot of blood from a bleeding nose I'd gotten form my brother the night previous. I wonder what happened to Kakashi; didn't he care about what happened to me? Saying these quickly brought tears to my eyes and the feeling of loneliness filled my heart. I know he only wanted to help me… but if I were to tell what and who was doing these things to be I'd most likely be killed. They both made that rule very clear every time they abused me. It now was becoming something that no matter what I was too afraid to say a word. That was the way they wanted it too, so I was right where I need to be.

"Sasuke… you're awake finally…"

I did my best to whip away the tears before Naruto could see, but I wasn't fast enough.

"Why wont you tell one of us what's going on Sasuke?" Naruto asked trying his best to sound gentle. "Or do I have to be the one who tells Kakashi?"

My stomach instantly dropped when I heard that. How did he know? "You have no idea what is happening to me Naruto so just leave it be…" I said sitting up and rubbing my throbbing temples.

"Oh… wanna bet? I saw what he did to you last night Sasuke… and don't try and tell me that what I saw didn't happen!"

My eyes froze in fear. He did know he saw what my older brother did to me… and he never even bother to try and help? "Well thanks for all your help Naruto! Some hero you turned out to be! Don't you get it? didn't you listen to what he said he'd do if I opened my mouth?.. Well did you!" I almost screamed. "Because unless you want my dead soul on your guilt then I suggest you keep silent!"

All the blond did was look down at the floor. Then, I'd have most likely done the same thing if I'd been in his position too. "You know Sasuke… You can't keep letting them do this to you… it'll only kill you slower... your better off to take the risk of getting help then allow them to kill you like this… don't you think?" He said moving over to my bed to sit down.

I did my best not to do it, not in front of him. But with my mind severely weakened form last night I could no longer hold it all back. I collapsed into the shoulder of Naruto's orange jacket, allowing all of my pain to leave my body through tears. I hated it, I really did. Allowing him to see me like this, but he was the only one who knew somewhat of what I was going through, and I was already fuck up, so I saw no point trying to act tough, not anymore.
