“Did you miss a show tonight Sasuke?”
“Y-yes.” Sasuke said, looking anywhere but into the dangerous eyes of his manager. He was terrified. He had seen the way Orochimaru operated, and it wasn’t pretty. Itachi was gentle compared to him.
“You want to tell me why?” Orochimaru walked in more and sat down on a chair next to the bed.
Sasuke smashed himself more against the wall, trying to get away. Unfortunately there was nowhere else for him to go.
“I wasn’t feeling well.” He said quietly.
“Speak up.” Orochimaru said angrily.
“I wasn’t feeling well.” Sasuke repeated, louder this time.
“I suppose you were up all night the night before drinking?”
“That doesn’t have anything to do with it.” Sasuke said.
“Are you aware that there is a riot going on?” The manager asked. “The whole place is being torn down brick by fucking brick and it is all your fault.”
“I...” Sasuke started.
“Of course not! You never think of anyone but yourself!” Orochimaru said, standing up. “You don’t think of anyone but the precious Queen Sasuke.”
He reached into his inner jacket pocket and began pulling something out. Sasuke already knew what it was before he saw it. It was a nagyka. Sasuke remembered the first time he had seen that weapon.
It had come so casually out of Orochimaru’s pocket then too.
“Do you know what this is?” Orochimaru asked. Sasuke shook his head.
“Its called a nagyka, and it is a small Russian whip. Back in the old days, they would use this to speed up the horses. You see these little metal balls on the end?” He ran his fingers over them. “These were for killing the wolves that would attack them as they rode.”
Sasuke looked at the 8 inch braided leather straps with a heavy metal sphere on each end, and his legs went numb.
“You may never have to see this again, Sasuke.” Orochimaru said, folding it over itself and tucking it back inside his coat pocket. “But if you do, you will regret it, be sure.”
That time had now come.
Sasuke cowered, shaking, against the wall, in the corner of the bed. He watched as Orochimaru’s pale hand held the handle of the whip, and slowly began to swing it back and forth.
“I don’t want to have to do this Sasuke, I want you to know that this is really going to hurt. We are leaving Denver tonight, as we can’t play in a busted up auditorium.”
“But we could...” Sasuke started.
“SHUT THE FUCK UP!” Orochimaru yelled suddenly, bring the whip down half strength against Sasuke’s leg.
The pain seared up his leg from the spot on his calf where one of the metal balls had hit. He made a little grunt, but no other noise came from him.
“That hurt didn’t it Sasuke?” The snake asked. “I know it did, even if you didn’t make any noises. Just wait until I use all my strength.” A flash of white teeth as he smiled broadly.
Sasuke knew he was in for it, but he was determined not to let Orochimaru know how much this was hurting him. The more the bastard knew it hurt, the longer it would go on. Sasuke took a few deep breaths, and numbed himself, like he did sometimes with Itachi. He watched as Orochimaru raised his arm again.
SMACK.
The skin on Sasuke’s thigh parted under the strike and began to ooze.
SMACK.
His right arm seared, and warm liquid trickled down his elbow.
SMACK.
This time across his stomach, taking away his breath, and causing him to roll forward, still trying to shield his head and face.
SMACK. SMACK. SMACK.
One hit after another landed across his now exposed back. By now, however, he was unaware of the pain. His mind had collapsed under the pressure, and was now in another place. Sasuke was, at least for now, free.
******
“Sasuke?” He heard his brother say softly. Wait...softly? Itachi? Sasuke opened his eyes, just a little, just enough to see if it was true. It was! Itachi’s face was pale, and there were streaks of what looked like blood across his cheek and forehead. He was laying on his side, and his whole back felt hot and wet.
‘Oh yeah, that’s my blood.’ Sasuke thought deliriously. ‘Well, at least he is good enough to clean me up a bit.’
“Fuck Gaara, he isn’t waking up.” Itachi said, looking at the redhead, who Sasuke now saw was standing behind his brother.
“Should I call an ambulance?” Gaara asked, worriedly.
“No.” Sasuke coughed out. “Don’t bother.” He tried to sit up.
“Stop, fuckin idiot!” Itachi said, putting a hand on his waist and holding him in place. “We need to finish bandaging your stomach, then we have to start on your back.”
“Where is Orochimaru?” Sasuke asked, knowing that he was already gone, or they wouldn’t be in here helping him.
“He left.” Itachi said.
“But you should have seen...” Gaara started.
“Shut up Gaara.” Itachi said sharply.
“But you...”
“Fucking shut UP asshole, we will discuss that later.”
“Whatever, let’s just finish his stomach.”
Sasuke didn’t know what to say. He wanted to know what had happened, but he was really dizzy, probably from the pain, or blood loss, or something like that. They finished with his stomach, and rolled him gently onto the bandages. The pain caused him to intake breath.
“I know it hurts, just let us clean you up, and we will get you something to help it.” Itachi said, using that same voice as before. It was almost like the Itachi from back in Ft. Wayne.
*****
An hour later, Gaara and Itachi helped Sasuke sit up. The sun was coming up, and they hadn’t slept more than two hours apiece the night before. Itachi brought a pill for Sasuke to take. He didn’t even question what it was, he just swallowed it with a big chug of Gaara’s water.
“Thanks.” He said, still looking down.
“Whatever little brother.” Itachi said. “I gotta be a good brother sometimes.”
Sasuke looked up at him and saw two things at once. First was that Itachi was smiling at him, and not even the sadistic smile he usually used, but a real, older brother smile. The second, was that there were mean looking welts across Itachi’s face and shoulder. The blood Sasuke had seen before hadn’t been his, but Itachi’s.
“What the fuck happened?” Sasuke asked. Itachi turned around and walked out of the room.
“I’m going to bed.” He said as he left.
“Gaara?” Sasuke asked, looking to the bass player.
“Well, we knew you were going to get it.” Gaara started, taking a drink. “But when Orochimaru didn’t come out after twenty minutes, your brother started to get antsy. Honestly I have never seen him like that before. He was so worried!”
So then what happened?” Sasuke asked, searching Gaara’s blue-green eyes.
“Itachi and I walked in, and saw this bloody mess, and you just laying there, not moving, and I think something snapped in him. He just lunged forward and grabbed Orochimaru’s jacket from behind. Well, the snake bastard turned his anger on Itachi then, saying things like ‘It’s your fault he drank too much’ and stuff. Then Itachi told him to fuck off, and leave.”
Sasuke groaned. He knew Orochimaru didn’t like to be told to fuck off.
Gaara licked his lips and continued.
“So Orochimaru took that whip thing and hit Itachi twice really hard, one landed across his arm, and the other one across his face. Then he just walked out. Itachi was so worried about you that he didn’t even notice that he was bleeding. He just rushed over to the bed, and started ordering me to get every towel and bandage in the damn place.”
Sasuke just looked at him. He was stunned. Itachi had saved him?
“Well, I am going to bed. You should be feeling pretty good here in a few minutes, then you should get some sleep. Lay on your stomach or your side.”
“Yeah. Thanks.” Sasuke said, watching Gaara leave the room.
When he was sure everyone else was asleep, he lay down on his left side. Tears ran down his face as he silently wept for his whole long terrible life and the impromptu chivalry of the person he both hated, and loved most in the world.
