Now or never

Sasuke's POV

I sat there crying for over an hour. I knew it was making Naruto sadder after every sobbing choke I made, but I couldn't help it. I was never one to cry, and for once I was not afraid to let my emotions show.

"Come on Sasuke… it's going to be aright… I'll help you get through this I promise." Naruto said softly patting me in the back, and clearly holding back some of his own tears.

My arrogant side suddenly came flying back into my head making me quickly feel dumb. "Get off me!" I yelled shoving Naruto so he fell back off my bed. "You can't even look after yourself! So don't try and flatter me with false hopes! Go away!" I yelled getting up, stumbling then quickly moving past the now shocked Naruto to leave my house.

Naruto's POV

I was really worried about Sasuke, but there was no reason to be a jerk. So now I was mad. If he thought he could just treat me like dirt when ever he wanted then he had another thing coming. "Sasuke! Get back here!" I shouted jumping up to chase after him. "Your not getting away with that you jerk!" I ran full speed outside where I could see him running towards the trees again. He was hopeless, I caught him last time he tried to hide there, so what made now any different?

I decided to give him a even head start, since he was pretty weak. So I took to jumping from tree to tree just meters behind him. I was going to wait and see where he would go. Like honestly what was in there?

"Ahhhhhhhhh!" The sharp yell from Sasuke almost made me fall, but luckily I was able to regain my composure.

"You little shit! Thought you could run away? Hid from me? I thought you knew the punishments for that? Oh well… nothing a good reminder can't do." That was Orochimaru all right. I could tell my his pail white skin and creep eyes. He was like Satan on Earth that one. And his power was incredible. I knew, he was able to kill Sarutobi, one of the strongest ninjas in our village. So what was he interested in Sasuke for?

What I saw next almost made me go into shock. It wasn't just Sasuke's brother who was hurting him, it was this sick freak too.

Sasuke's POV

How was this possible? I just dealt with my brother last night. Orochimaru wasn't even waiting for the safety of night anymore. This didn't make any sense. Why were they being so hard on me? What had I done wrong?

"You know Sasuke….. I've been thinking… Coming all this way to see you seems foolish… if you were with us… then we wouldn't have to worry about others getting involved." He said picking me up by my arm so that his face was almost touching mine. "You belong to us anyway… why not make things a little closer."

I felt hot tears form in my eyes as he said this. How was I going to survive if I had to live with them. They'd only make me there slave, and be able to beat me when ever they wanted to.

The sudden warm wet feeling of Orochimaru's sick long tongue made me faint as it whipped over the side of my face. "Please… don't…" I said weakly, only to end up with hard smack.

"Do not speak unless asked to boy! I'm sick of listing to your babbling…Lets get going… your brother is expecting you sometime soon… we wouldn't want to keep him waiting now would we?"

Terrified I shook my head, knowing that cooperating was my last hope. He seemed to like my response, thus releasing me and pointing into the direction he wanted me to go. This was it, I was no longer free and it killed me inside to know that it was true.

"Sasuke no!" The voice made me flinch at first, but after I recognized who it was I felt somewhat relived. "Your not taking him anywhere you sick fuck!" Naruto yelled jumping down from the tree he was in.

"Oh… look what we have here… the little fox demon… how convenient.."

I knew right then that Naruto was in trouble. Orochimaru crazy, evil eyes were telling me so. "NARUTO GET OUT OF HERE!" I yelled running up behind Orochimaru and grabbing hold of his waste to hold him back.

"I'm not afraid of him Sasuke! Just leave him to me!" Naruto said flashing thumbs up. That idiot had no idea what he was getting himself into.

"Naruto you don't understand! Go get Kakashi or other people who are stronger! You cannot fight him on your own Naruto! He's just to strong, he'll kill you if you fight him. And if that happens then no one will know what happened to me…. And" I was instantly silenced my Orochimaru's elbow smashing crudely into my face, knocking me back and sending shocks of pain through my head.

"You Sasuke, will regret opining your mouth dearly! But for now I need to take care of your little friend!" Orochimaru said dangerously then turned back to Naruto. "What! Where did that little insect go!" He yelled angrily.

"Ha…. He went to get help you moron… that means that once the others pick up on my trail your done for!" I said still holding my face.

"Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr you little shit! I'll kill you before that happens! And I promise it will kill you slowly!"

My cocky side quickly faded as I realized just what kind of mistake I'd made. I should had never said anything…but now it was to late. I soon felt Orochimaru hand tighten around my neck as he lifted me back up to my feet.

"You seem to be forgetting that even if that little punk friend of yours can get help, I'll be long gone by then. Your brother has camp set up for us already, and I know that he's chosen a good place."

Well he was right Orochimaru and my brother had a very good hiding place picked out. Not even the best ninja in our village would be able to find this under water cavern. Hell, I almost drown just to get here, so I knew getting back would be no easy task.

"Hello again little one…" My brother said coldly as Orochimaru pulled my dazed body from the water. "Did you have trouble getting here? And did anyone see you?"

"No… we got here undetected. However this little fuck had to go on and open his mouth to that fox demon friend of his, so he knows we have him… What do you suggest his punishment be Itachi?" Orochimaru said squeezing harder on my arm so that I flinched.

"I don't care…. Beat him or something…or fuck with his head… he likes that one."

"Nooooo…. Please… Just leave me alone!" I sobbed, trying to fall to my knees, but was being held up firmly by Orochimaru.

"Just look at you… your not even worth beating!" Orochimaru said coldly throwing me to the wet rock ground. "Go sleep in a fucking corner or something… and keep out of my sight… you don't want me to change my mind! Now GET!" He yelled giving me a nasty boot to the ribs.

I let out a loud yelp then scampered up and quickly ran to a small corner hidden be three small rocks. There I just curled into a ball and tried my best to calm down.

Naruto's POV

I ran faster then I ever had before back to where I knew Kakashi would be. And when I cam ripping around the corner and crashed hard into him, I knew I was right about his location. "Kakashi! Kakashi! Sasuke's in trouble! He's been captured by that Orochimaru guy!" I said almost screaming. "We have to get more people, then go after him!"

"Orochimaru… so he is back…." Kakashi said calmly looking up into the sky.

"Kakashi! You have to go help Sasuke! We don't have time for sky watching!" I yelled rudely at his lack of concern.

"It's ok Naruto… we're already ready…"

Sasuke's POV

Sleeping was impossible. Number one, the cold wet ground was nothing nice to help keep you relaxed, and second, I was sure that the moment I fell vulnerable one of them would try something. Though maybe I was just paranoid, they both were sleeping now, so maybe I should try and get some shut eye as well. God knew tomorrow was going to be hell.

"Sasuke…. Sasuke wake up." My older brothers voice rain in my ear as my whole three hours of sleep came to a abrupt end. I jumped at the noise, sitting up like lighting, only to have a chunk of my hair grabbed to hold me still. "Stop moving around so much boy! It's time to eat." He said coldly, releasing my head and pointing toward the middle of our cave where a fire was burning.

"I'm not hungry…" I said coldly pushing back to sit against the wall. "Just leave me alone…"

The look I got from Itachi sent a shiver all the way down my back, but I shook it off. "Well then… if you don't feel like eating then I guess I could tell you why you were brought here…"

My heart stopped. So they really did have a reason for taking me all this way. The though of what these two sick freaks could do almost brought tears to my eyes. "What… you….you wouldn't…."

"We don't need you dead if that's what your worried about…. But make no mistakes, if you become a problem then I wouldn't hesitate to end your miserable life myself…. It's your eyes Sasuke… Orochimaru wants there power… however it's going to be difficult to perform the necessary technique to mimic such a rare gift…" My brother was looking at me as though I were nothing more then a test rat, and that made me even more nervous.

"Come on Itachi… can we get this started, I'm sure that Kid has told some one by now… so we don't have much time!" Orochimaru said walking over to us. "Take your shirt off boy… and come sit over here…"

As much as I wanted not to remove my shit I was left with no choice. The cold damp air gave me goose bumps all over and I couldn't hold myself form shivering. I was told to sit in the middle of some round painted star of some sort that was now where the fire had been, so to my luck it was still warm when I sat down.

"Ok Orochimaru just stay here until I'm finished painting the symbols on his back… I'll tell you what to do after." Itachi said stepping up behind me.

I was soon over come with the soft feeling of my brothers finger moving to different places on my back. I had no idea what he was drawing, but I'm sure what ever it was it was a bad thing. My brother had never done anything nice for me before, so why would he start now? "Is this going to hurt?" I said bringing my knees up to my chest so that I could hold them to keep warm, and feel more secure.

"Why would I ruin the surprise little brother?" was all he said. "Orochimaru I'm done… now just stand behind him and place your left hand on his head… don't move until I say, got it… other wise it won't work, and it might possible backfire and kill you… or him…. I'm not sure I've never seen this done before."

"Well that's reassuring… listen kid you better stay still got that…"

I just brought my face closer to my knees and bit my lip to stop any sound from escaping my mouth. This was just great, using me to get more power. How pathetic.

"Ok Orochimaru….now!"

Naruto's POV

I didn't quite know how to respond to what Kakashi had told me, but the moment I saw the group of men walking up behind him I new Sasuke would be ok. "Alright Kakashi!" I said smiling and flashing thumbs up. "Lets go kick some evil guys buts!"

He smiled then look over his shoulder. "You all heard him… lets move!"
