I typically HATE OC’s but this story was originally going to be for a different series and in that series the OC actually exists... I've wanted to get this out of my mind for soooo long that I'm writing it mostly for myself. I still hope you like it though!This could possibly be considered as an Alternate universe because I'm lazy and it's hard to get all these facts straight. Flashbacks are in italics
Now be nice! Reviews are welcome, flames are not. -Tatem
~~~~Naruto glanced from his wrists to his ankles. As hard as he tried to concentrate on breaking the chains that were binding him, he had realized a few days previous that they weren't coming off. He wasn't sure if the shot he had been given when he had been captured was draining his chakra or if the chains had been made to stifle chakra, but whatever it was, it was effective. He stifled a groan as he heard the door to his pen open.
"Demon, stand up."
Naruto did as he was told, even flashing the guard his patented smile. He knew the guards were trying to break him, but he would not be broken. His skin was black and blue all over, cuts weeping blood in a few places and his hair was matted in clumps from all the "attention" he had received that first night. He may have been terrified of his captor but he was not going to give the guards the satisfaction of breaking him. If the guards were going to keep him bound and caged he was going to fight back with the only thing he had left: his bright spirits.
"Wipe that stupid smile off of your face you monster." The guard backhanded him hard and Naruto fell roughly back into the cell.
"Stand up." Naruto winced at the pain, but did as he was told. Once again he smiled brightly at the guard and once again he was knocked to the floor.
"I would love to play this game all afternoon, Demon, but you have an appointment with destiny, and Uchiha will have my head if you're late."
Naruto went pale. Seeing this made the guard laugh.
"Oh yes, he's back. He was unhappy he only got you your first night here, but more pressing matters came up. I don't guess he will be going back out to the field any time soon, so if I were you, I would give him what he wants."
Naruto didn't say anything more. His arms and legs were shaking. He tried to control his breathing and focus, but his mind was spinning with memories from a few nights before.

Naruto peeked out under his blond lashes to try and get a feel for where he was. He couldn't remember much except that he had been on a dangerous mission accompanying a very important person from one place to another. He couldn't bring back any more than that. In snippets he saw Sasuke and Neji... an odd fog rolling in... yelling... screaming... blood... red eyes... he saw Neji fall... he saw Sasuke fall... he heard his name and a sharp order... and then nothing.
He let his eyes flutter closed. He felt drained. As hard as he tried to stay alert he could not. He was so tired. Quickly sleep over took him. He woke when a soft hand reached beneath the sheets and gently caressed his chest. His mind still foggy he whispered
"Sasuke... stop. I'm tired. Tomorrow."
The hand continued and soft lips descended on his forehead.
"Sasuke... I was having a bad dream, let me sleep."
Naruto felt Sasuke drag his fingers up his body and wrap into his blond hair. The grip tightened and suddenly Naruto's head was throbbing as his hair was seized at the scalp and pulled to the side bringing him eye to eye with his raven haired rival.
"What the fuck! Sasuke you're..."
A look of clarity passed over Naruto's face.
"Not Sasuke?" Itachi whispered softly into the blonde’s ear even as the grip on the blond hair tightened.
Naruto flinched backward but was unable to move more than an inch. He was tied to the bed posts.
"Fuck. Fuck. What do you want Itachi?"
"..." Silence.
Naruto silently cursed at the older Uchiha but spoke no more. He knew that Itachi was not one to give in to demands and decided to just stay aware and play this game until he could find Sasuke and escape.
Sasuke... he had seen him fall... had he seen him rise? Neji too. He had seen him fall. Were they dead? Surely Itachi wouldn't have let Sasuke live so many times just to kill him now. He must be alive. He had to be alive. His breath left him.
He looked up to see Itachi smirking. He must know what's going through my mind. Of course Itachi would know that his first concern would be for his friends.
"Do you have a question for me?" Itachi said evenly. There was so little passion in his voice that it didn't even sound like a question. It was as if he had said "The sky is blue."
Naruto paused. "Would you tell me the truth?" he asked.
Crimson eyes narrowed on blue and in a voice that could freeze blood Itachi whispered.
"For a favor."
~~~~
Naruto bit his lip as he was roughly chained to the same bed as before. He was blindfolded now but Itachi was not in the room. That didn't mean Naruto felt at ease. Somewhere in this drafty castle both his friends were alive and to save them he would need to keep his wits about him. He had been in agony at the time, but he still knew what he had heard. Itachi had said that Sasuke and Neji were being kept alive to ensure Naruto's cooperation. Through moans and whimpers Naruto had tried to explain to Itachi that even if he wanted to cooperate with him he couldn't. Since he and the Kyubbi had merged he no longer had control of bringing him out. As far as Naruto knew he couldn't be brought out. Fist after fist, whip after whip, indignity after indignity and still Itachi wouldn't believe him.
"I'll beat it out of you, and if that doesn't work, I'll torture it out of you, and if that doesn't work I'll torture it out of your white-eyed friend and my brother." He said the last word as if the word brother meant flesh-eating virus. Apparently the hatred went both ways.
He heard the door open and footsteps slowly approached the bed. Naruto gagged. A fear he had never known was rearing its head and he shoved it back down into his stomach. Fear wasn't going to help him, but anger might. In every part of his being he felt around for hatred and bitterness. He thought about the villagers who made his life miserable with teasing, he thought about fallen comrades, and about a young boy who had seen his family slaughtered. A fire burned in his heart and with more power than he thought possible he shouted hoarsely.
"Fuck off Itachi. I already fucking told you I can't fucking release the Kyubbi. It's not possible you asshole! You're too late. You might as well kill us all because I can't give you want you want." His voice cracked. Fear and sadness were welling up in his throat. "I would if I could, but I can't."
Silence.
Naruto tightened his stomach and held his breath. He was sure he would be repaid violently for his insolence but he was determined to not cry out during the first attack. The night was going to be long but he would not give up hope.
"I might be able to help." came a soft voice from beside him. Delicate fingers reached behind his head and undid his blindfold. He squinted into the soft light of the room and as his eyes adjusted he recognized the dark orbs, the aristocratic features, but the hair was all wrong. Neither Itachi nor Sasuke had hair that fell below the waist.
"Sister, I see you've met your new charge." Itachi strode into the room, his dark cape fluttering dramatically.
"Sister?" Naruto whispered.
The last thing his eyes saw before the world went dark was a tiny hand sweep over his face, and the last thing he heard was the girl next to him whisper the word "sleep."
