Pairing: SasuNaruSasu

Warning: Swearing, violence, abuse, VIOLENCE.

A/N: FINALLY! An update. But unfortunately I'm quite cruel to Sasuke in this one, I'll be quite cruel to him in the next one too, simply because he is a bastard and he deserves it. Pah, I get angry at my own Writing!Sasuke. XDD; Augh, but now I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place, because both of them are going to end up in—well anyway, can't give that way, it'd ruin my won-der-ful plot too much. Mmm, but I tell you, Sasuke's going to be a little 'Naru-obsessive' over the next few days. He needs Naruto.

You be awaiting the next chapter, yes? Feel free to suggest ideas, like, what I should do to Sasuke. Hahahhah.

Bai.

(P.S. Sasuke is wracked with guilt in this one, because he has finally realized that Naruto loves him, and he loves Naruto aaaannnddd, he just screwed up his chance to have a happy life.)

Chapter six (LOLOL, I forgot to change it on the other ones):

The ones we wish to remember

---

"YOUR MY FRIEND! YOU'RE MY FRIEND SASUKE!"

"Kill me Sasuke. Kill the only person who cared this much about you."

"Sasuke…"

He couldn't believe how much it hurt to realize what Naruto meant to him.

He loved him.

He loved him.

"Naruto, d-dobe, get up…" Sasuke gave a choked gasp and pulled the blonde up against his shoulder, desperate to give the other some leverage. "Dobe…?" Tears we're running down his face, and now, he was too frightened to bother wiping them away. He had to choose, either head back to the village and get the crap beat out of him by Tsunade and possibly Sakura, but get Naruto healed, or risk Naruto's life and search for the other nearest town. Sasuke frowned, desperation clutching at his mind.

"God, Oh god…I messed up…"

He wouldn't let Naruto die, but he didn't want to get beat to a pulp either.

When his blue eyed partner whimpered, coughing on to his blood soaked shirt, he pulled him in to his arms and was off towards Konoha within seconds. Risking Naruto's life—again—wasn't something he was willing to do.

He had gotten Naruto in to his condition and it was up to him to get him out.

By the time the village had come in to view Sasuke's breathing was ragged, almost as forced as Naruto's, and his legs were burning from running through the tree branches that littered the outskirts of Konoha.

He threw himself forward, almost tripping over a few tree branches, and entered the village as quickly as his legs would allow him. Villagers' instantly turned their head towards him, eyes wide as they looked over Sasuke's new figure. He even heard a few familiar voices yell out his name.

Worried. "Sasuke, what are you—"

Surprised. "What the hell, Sasuke!"

Lazy. "Huh?"

Ignoring everyone the best he could Sasuke made his way towards the hospital, clutching Naruto against his chest as if he were a broken doll. He needed to find a doctor, and he needed to find one now! Naruto seemed to be getting worse and worse by the minute.

Letting a small frustrated growl fall from his lips he kicked open the hospital doors and pushed through the people waiting inside.

"I need a healer!" He yelled throughout the room, clambering forward with Naruto still perched in his arms. "Get me Tsunade! Get me someone!" A few of the children that had been waiting to be seen began to cry or rush to their parents, afraid of the tall blood covered stranger yelling at them. When Sasuke got no reply, he huffed angrily and ran down a different hallway. There had to be someone who could help!

"S-Sasuke!" A familiar tone reached his ears and he paused, eyes widening as he turned and looked over to familiar pink bubblegum hair. Sakura, Sakura was a healer. Naruto had mentioned it…Sasuke took his chances and ran over to the female Ninja.

"No time to talk, Naruto! He's injured!" Sasuke pulled Naruto against his chest, eyes narrowed in determination. If Sakura wouldn't help him, no one would. "Sakura, listen to me, I know I've been gone for a long time but-please, Naruto's hurt." Sakura seemed to sense the pleading in his voice and quickly motioned towards the third room in the hall.

Without hesitation Sasuke bounded in to the room, the blond still clutched desperately in his arms. The room was empty, uninhabited, apart from a small bed—that could possibly have been used as an operation table—Sasuke saw nothing of importance. But perhaps that was because Naruto was blocking his mind…? He literally threw the blond on to the covers before quickly stumbling back towards the door.

No Tsunade. No help. He looked back to Sakura and frowned, watching as her lightly blue coated hands went over Naruto's blood stained chest, slowly healing the many indents Sasuke had made. She wasn't doing it quick enough, there needed to be more, Naruto needed to live.

He neededNaruto.

Sasuke, in desperation, exited the room and looked down each of the hallway ends, finding it almost completely empty—save for the few who had come wandering.

"Sakura, where is Tsu—" Speak of the devil. Something hard connected with his cheek and he flew backward, a loud yelp escaping his lips as he connected with the wall and slid down it, leaving a light red mark where his back had been. His ribs moved painfully against each other, but after a minute of rasping, he managed to look up at Tsunade.

"Y-you…" He said weakly, head dipping forward. "Naruto…h-he needs help. I-I…I hurt him…"

There was silence, then Tsunade moved from Sasuke's front and in to the operating room, gasping at what she saw. Naruto, bloody, beaten, it didn't look like he would last much longer. And by his chakra levels, It didn't seem like he wanted to…

Tsunade calmed and closed her eyes. How could Sasuke have done this? After all Naruto had sacrificed to keep him alive…

"Call the guards" She was aware her voice was cracking, but that didn't mean it sounded any less demanding that it usually did. The few people around her obeyed and we're off within seconds, save for Sakura who was currently attempting to mend Naruto's broken ribs.

Sasuke, on the other hand, (Now that Naruto was safe) was attempting to get as far away from the operating room as possible, as he knew guards would soon come and take him away—take him back to that god forbidden room. His fear spiked as he heard the familiar pounding of multiple feet. He was too late; there was no point in trying to escape now.

A hand grabbed him around the mouth and pulled him back, giving another Konoha ninja the chance to wrap a familiar silky blindfold around his head, covering his vision once more. He couldn't help but let out a shuddered breath as they forced him in to a kneeling position and tied his hands, making sure to make it as uncomfortable as possible for him.

He had brought this upon himself, he reminded, he deserved it. Sasuke groaned as the hands pulled him up in to a standing position, then without hesitation, one kneed him in the back and forced him to stumble forward. Now it was just a question of how much punishment he'd end up receiving.

"Did Tsunade specify what Konoha cell to put him in?" Sasuke breath hitched at hearing this, and he attempted to pull away.

Like hell he was going to get put in a cell with the very ninja he had beaten and arrested—he end up dead, or want to be dead by morning! Unfortunately the ninja dragging him didn't seem to sympathize with this and pulled him forward, ignoring whatever sounds of discomfort he made with each pull.

It was now that he truly, truly regretted hurting Naruto. But he deserved it. Sasuke Mentally swore to himself. He deserved it…It was his fault Naruto was dieing, if he hadn't attacked him and put him in a critical condition, perhaps he could have stayed with him…as a lover, not a friend.

But he knew now that Naruto wouldn't forgive him, not after what he had done.

"Naruto…" He whispered, although the men dragging him ignored his every word. He wasn't sure where he was now, the ground had changed, and the hospital floor was no longer under his feet, but now cool cement was. Sasuke frowned from under the blindfold and lifted his head, attempting to hear the Konoha ninja's voices. Wait—Sasuke blinked.

They weren't the guards voices.

He could hear chattering, laughing, but it wasn't the guards, it was other prisoners. Sasuke shifted uncomfortably from foot to foot as the guards finally came to a stop. "Tell me where I am" He demanded, although fear was evident in his voice.

In answer, the guard simply chuckled and threw him forward—right in to the prison bars, causing him to gasp and squirm uncomfortably. When a click sounded he bit down on his tongue and shuffled against the guard behind him—who unfortunately had his knee pressing quite hard against his lower back, stopping him from moving even the slightest bit.

"Enjoy yourself kid, you'll be in here for a long time" The knee was soon replaced by a hand, and Sasuke found himself been shoved in to a cell, and by the way everyone silenced at his entry, he could tell his days in the jail were NOT going to be fun.

"Wait…Nar--" Naruto…Naruto, is he alright…

Sasuke stumbled forward a few steps, then fell to his knees, his hands still tied behind his back and blindfold still in place. Unless the people he was been forced to bunk with were kind enough to remove his bindings and blindfold, he doubted he'd be able to see or move properly for awhile.

"Well, what do we have here, the famous Sasuke Uchiha?" Shit. Shit. Shit. SHIIIT. Sasuke fell back in to a sitting position and curled his knees up to his chest, trying with difficulty to remove the blindfold from his face. At least if he could see his attacker, he would be able to dodge whatever punches of kicks that sent at him. Footsteps—multiple footsteps for that matter—sounded and he struggled up on to his feet. "I thought you were dead…" Sasuke couldn't get in a reply before a fist balled up his shirt and brought him forward. "I celebrated that day, the day someone told me you we're dead, but I guess this is even better."

Despite panic rising in his mind, Sasuke glared from under his blindfold and pushed a fake smirk on to his lips. "And what makes you think I care?" Sasuke answered as bluntly as possible, his head arched back in an attempt to escape the breath that fell upon his face.

"So you don't remember me. Perhaps I should give you a hint." He felt a hand dig rather violently in to his stomach and twist. In an attempt to hide his discomfort Sasuke took a deep intake of air through clenched teeth and closed his eyes, fingers tightening against their bonds. How was this supposed to help him remember!? "Do you remember Orochimaru? Do you remember the one person he trusted most? No?" The hand was getting rather painful now. In fact, Sasuke was sure the tear that fell down his cheek could have been blood. "How about the name Kabuto, I bet that rings some bells."

"W-what?" Sasuke hadn't meant his voice to sound so frightened, but he thought Naruto had killed Kabuto, not let him roam free in a cage. The last he had heard was that Kabuto had gone crazy, and had even gone as far as to implant Orochimaru inside himself. This was not good. Thiswasnotgood. He blinked a few times and tried to pull away, but obviously in his position that wasn't going to happen.

"Then of course, you remember killing Orochimaru."

Sasuke was sure his stomach was going to be ripped out then and there, but no such thing happened, instead the hand loosened and pushed him backward—right in to another god damn prisoner.

When he heard a chuckle and two arms wrapped around his neck, he knew the day wasn't going to end well.

"Now, Sasuke, how about I show you how much I've missed you."

Sasuke bit in to his lip and awaited the pain that would undoubtedly come. Naruto, Naruto, Naruto, Naruto, Naruto…

"Naruto..."
