ibiki made a small noise in his throat that obviously meant he didnt believe the chunin. he heard the door open and close, he was once again in the room alone with only the anbu for his company. for some reason he didnt care if they saw him cry anymore, there was no avoiding it now. so he sat there tied to the chair and sobbed. letting his anguish over his situation get the better of him.

the anbu watched silently, only one of them knowing what had transpired in the genjitsu, but looking to their comrades eyes they saw genuine remorse for the chunin. it was obvious something had made the man crack his strong facade. none of them said a word as the school teacher sobbed against his chest. there was nothing to say.
it was another couple hours before the door opened again, and in that time iruka had managed to stop crying, his head remained down against his chest, he couldnt look them in the eye anymore. they knew things about him that no one was supposed to know. he saw through the fringe of his bangs that ibiki retook his seat in the other chair infront of him.

"you didnt testify against mizuki"

he shook his head, the file said all of this why were they making him repeat it?

"as such he got a lighter sentence, he should be released in another five years on probabtion for another two and then be reavauluated for active duty again. that falls completely to you"

sighing iruka closed his eyes, he had known that by not testifying against his lover, to not tell the truth to the council because it had been to degrading that mizuki would get off light.

" so are you hoping to reconnect with him when he gets out?"

"no"

it was quiet, his voice raggid from all the crying he had done.

"then why not testify, the third himself requested that you tell the truth"

"i couldnt"

"why"

" he was a good shinobi-until the incident with naruto he had a perfect record"

ibiki frowned at the chunin before him.

"so you didnt testify because you thought it would tarnish his record?"

"he was a good teacher- we have so few of those"

"so instead you would allow your abuser to teach school children who cant defend themselves."

"he never would have hurt the chil-"

"he attacked you and a child when he recovered the scroll did he not"

iruka nodded, ibiki knew what he was doing, he dug in all the right areas to ellicit a response, and with each answer iruka felt his small glimmer of hope to get out of this fading.

"so why didnt you testify?"

"i was foolish-i still believed him to be my friend on some level"

"even after he raped you"

iruka didnt bother to answer that, the silence in the room spoke volumes for the conversation presently going on. the anbu had tensed at the word rape. it made iruka smile. so now it was out there, the vile word.

"we have reports that you visited him in prison, why is that?"

iruka shrugged, at the sound of the chair scraping the concrete floor he took a deep breath as his hair was yanked and he was forced to come eye to eye with an obviously irate ibiki.

"why did you visit him?"

"i wanted to help him"

he gritted out through clenched teeth.

his hair was let go, his head falling back to his chest. ibiki took a step back before reguarding the chunin cooley.

"you've made a lot of bad decisions, these reflect badly on you"

iruka nodded, he didnt have anything to say about that. he was always an optimist, and it always came to bite him in the ass. only this time he wasnt sure if he was going to get out of it alive.

"moving on- it says here in a report about your children that you believed the uchiha heir to be a respectful and confident young man who had a bright future- you didnt suspect anything wrong with the boy"

ah there it was, poke a little more. iruka shook his head.

"no one did-we should have known better, but no one wanted to see just how badly he wanted revenge against his brother"

"hmm, and after he left, did you encourage the jinchurki to go after him?"

"naruto-i told him to do what he thought was right, he chose to not give up on his friend"

"and your advice was it from your personal experience with mizuki?"

taking a deep breath iruka couldnt help but laugh a little which startled the anbu around him.

"i was just trying to help"

"i see- lets move on, you visited mizuki at least once a week after he was incarcerated correct?"

"yes"

"it says that up until the attack this month you were still seeing him"

"yes"

"and your visits what did they intail?"

"we just talked- i tried to get him to see reason about what he'd done."

nodding his head ibiki took the time to write something more down before continueing the tiresome conversation.

"and did he have an epiphany?"

"no-he's angry with me"

"about what?"

"that i chose naruto over him"

"and why did you choose the jinchuriki over your lover? was it because of the abuse?"

"no, i chose naruto because he was an innocent in all of this, he never asked to be the vessel for the nine tails and he was just a stupid kid who didnt know he was being used."

taking a breath after his long tiraid, iruka couldnt help but let his mind wander, how much longer was this going to go on? would they keep him here until he broke?

"iruka-IRUKA"

jolting he raised his head up to see the displeased man staring at him.

"i said why did you choose to give the jinchuriki his hitae when he had failed the previous tests for genin?"

"he earned it, he showed everything that a shinobi is, he didnt run and hide like a child would, he decided to stand and fight against a much more experienced fighter in order to protect another."

nodding his head, ibiki began to walk around the room, iruka didnt bother to follow him with his eyes, it would only make him dizzy. ibiki was trying to make up his mind on what to do next with the chunin, there were so many gaps in his history, so many times the chunin could have revealed information to the enemies of konoha, it was a wonder that he had been under their radar for so long.

"do you understand that there are many things in this report that look bad for you, your association with known defectors, your inability to aid in their capture and the continued failure to protect those around you from further harm because of this."

iruka nodded, he understood. ibiki came around to stand infront of him once more. the man gave a subtle signal and the anbu began to leave the room. looking up iruka watched them go, before focusing on ibiki.

"sit tight we'll be back- i wouldnt try anything either there will be guards throughout this place"

iruka twisted his head away, there was no way he could feasibly get out of here and ibiki knew it. the door slammed shut and the light was abruptly turned off, alone in the darkness iruka cried.

********

ibiki joined the anbu in the ajoining room, he knew they would have questions, especially if they were going to continue to not only watch the man, but inflict any sort of torture to gain answers from him.

"he was raped?"

ibiki nodded. rifling through his papers as he answered their questions.

"repeaditly, looks like over a span of two to three years, the hokage wasnt exactly sure when they got together and when the abuse started. iruka didnt report anything so no one was the wiser."

the anbu shook their heads, the school teacher hadnt bothered to fight back against his aggressor, instead choosing to move in with the bastard and allow the abuse to get worse. or so ibiki illuded.

" with his connections with missing nin, im afraid were going to have to use more extreme measures to make sure that he is indeed telling us the truth about everything. if any of you have any problems with that, speak now"

"we joined this team for a reason ibiki, to protect konoha and reguardless of personal feelings towards any of the people weve questioned we will continue to do our duty."

ibiki nodded, he figured as much, but he had to give them the option to leave. this was a stressful time in konoha.

" i think were done with the genjitsu for now, so just observe him overnight try and get him to talk with you about anything earn his trust, from this report that shouldnt be hard to do."

the anbu nodded their heads, going to return to the room that they had exited just a moment priar, ibiki stopped them with one final comment.

"remember no matter what he tells you, dig deeper"

the anbu opened the door to the room they had left the man in and blinked rather suddenly. iruka was still where they left him, sorta. instead of being upright the chair was on its back and the man was staring at the ceiling. frowning bear approached the man.

"what were you doing?"

"my neck hurt"

"and?"

"so i decided to lie down"

quirking an eyebrow behind his mask, he looked to his comrades, they seemed amused by the chunin's response. reaching down, bear quickly righted the chunin's chair forcing iruka to try and scrunch up his neck to releave the tension.

"dont do that again"

iruka nodded, he closed his eyes and waited, when nothing happened he couldnt help but let his curiousity get the better of him.

"so now what?"

"now we wait"

"for ibiki?"

"no for you"

tilting his head sidways he winced as his neck popped suddenly. he didnt understand what they were refering too.

"me? umm im kinda not going anywhere guys"

the anbu remained silent, sighing iruka tilted his head back to stare at the ceiling again. at least he could see if any more cracks had developed since the last time he counted all 65 of them. nope still all there. smiling to himself he allowed his eyes to close and tried to sleep, he knew it propably wouldnt happen but he figured he should at least try.

"if you were allowed to leave- what would you do?"

iruka opened his eyes, so they were ordered to keep him awake. tilting his head to face the anbu who was talking to him he shrugged.

"depends on what im allowed to do, i have no illusions that because of this i'll be closely watched for some time, my position as a teacher will most likely be taken from me and i will be forced either to take low level missions if im allowed outside the gates or menial desk work for the rest of my life."

"you wouldnt run?"

"run where? i have no where to go, konoha is my home. besides its not like i could outrun you guys even if i tried. so whats the point. might as well just sit and enjoy the ride"

"is this fun for you?"

iruka shook his head, before responding

"is this fun for you?"

the anbu didnt answer him, looking back to the ceiling he started to count again, but was interuppted once more.

"your refusal to answer questions will not help you in this matter"

"neither will answering"

the anbu tilted his masked face to the side. silently asking the chunin to elaborate.

"i've been telling the truth, but its obvious that you or ibiki dont believe me and since the hokage and the council will be listening to your statements instead of mine, there really is no point in continueing to talk to you"

"dont you want your side heard?"

"no one's hearing it now"

as long as he kept his eyes open he found the anbu remained silent, but as soon as he started to try and close them they began asking questions in order to keep him awake. by now he'd been up for what he thought was three days, in that time he hadnt been allowed to eat or drink anything and his bladder was to the point of bursting, but he knew better than to announce his discomfort. so he counted cracks-again.
the day or night progressed slowly to iruka, he was never allowed to sleep, and that was beginning to have an adverse effect on his mood. his temper was beginning to show through much the amusement of the anbu watching him. closing his eyes for a moment he ignored when the anbu tried to ask him another question, when the question was asked again and he refused to open his eyes, he found his shoulder in a tight grip of an unhappy anbu, the squeeze was painful but nothing he couldnt handle, so he ignored it. his hair was grasped and his head jerked back he winced at the motion but otherwise didnt respond, he refused to give into their suttle demands that he open his eyes. he was tired damn it, and even if it was only a few minutes he was determined to rest his eyes. the grasp on his shoulder tightened and he grit his teeth and the clawed gloved hand began to dig into his tender flesh.
"i'd open your eyes now"
the threat was there, but for some reason iruka just couldnt find it in himself to care. part of him was breaking, knowing that no one was going to come and rescue him, these were his allies, were supposed to be his allies and they were the one inflicting this torture onto him. the grasp on his shoulder suddenly dissapeared and for one moment he thought they were going to leave him be for a while. he couldnt have been more wrong. a sharp punch to his gut had his eyes slamming open as he gasped when the air flew out of his lungs. coughing he curled in on himself as much as the bindings would allow him too.
"you were warned."
with that the anbu retook his place against the wall. catching his breath iruka let his head hang down. his hair having come loose from his usual hair tie to fall in front of his face giving him a small curtain of which to look out through. he was about try adjusting himself in the chair when the anbu spoke.

"stay awake"

"i am"

with that he adjusted himself in the chair as much as possible, it didnt take away from the ache in his muscles or the stiffness in his joints but it gave him something to do. looking through his bangs he couldnt resist asking.

"dont you get bored just watching people"

"its what we do"

iruka shrugged at the answer, he hadnt expected one, but it did clarify that these anbu werent going anywhere and were constantly analyzing his every move. twisting his wrists around in the constaints got him a popping sound that he groaned at. leaning back in the chair he tried to pop his back with no success. sighing he gave up. it was obvious this was part of their plan. make the person as uncomfortable as possible and then start drilling them with questions to the point of them just wanting the luxery of a new position. finally bored out of his mind he decided to start just asking random questions he'd always had about the anbu corps.

"do you report directly to the hokage or ibiki?"

the bear anbu reguarded him cooly before replying

"both"

nodding his head he lifted it to be able to look them in the eye, or mask as it were.

"how many people are here? being interviewed i mean"

"none of your concern"

sighing iruka tried again with another question.

"how long have you been anbu?"

"classified"

snorting he tried again

"do you at least like what you do?"

the anbu considered him for a moment before replying.

"we protect our village and our hokage above all else"

nodding his head iruka tried to get them to clarify.

"yes, but all shinobi do that, do you enjoy being anbu"

this time it was the female of the group who questioned his motives.

"why do you ask?"

"im bored and apparently not allowed to sleep might as well fill the time with something and i've already counted the cracks on the ceiling twelve times"

silence reigned again and iruka knew they werent going to start the conversation so he just kept at it.

"did the hokage decide i was a threat or the council?"

"classified"

he turned to the three anbu who had yet to speak with him.

"you always so quiet?"

the man with the wolverine mask reguarded him cooly before responding.

"there is nothing to say"

"ah, so you just dont give a crap"

the man tilted his head to the side, analyzing the chunin who had the guts to talk back to him.

"you should watch what you say"

iruka shrugged. before replying hotly.

"pretty sure im in the worst place i could be"

"you could be dead"

the wolverine masked man replied. iruka just smiled at the man before responding calmly.

"yes i could, but then we wouldnt have this lovely chance to bond"

the tiger masked anbu couldnt hold back a laugh, she quickly straightened herself. iruka smiled at the tiger masked figure before looking straight ahead.

"my students are always asking about you guys, what your like, what you do for the village, do you really have a cool tattoo. its never ending really."

"and what do you tell them?"

"the truth, that just like any other shinobi you do your duty to the hokage and the village above all else and are willing to give your lives in order to protect them and everyone in the village. and yes you have cool tattoos"

the nin smiled behind their masks, the teacher was truly something. even in his darkest hour, he was finding something to be happy about.

"they're going to be confused-when i dont return"

"a new teacher will be found"

iruka nodded sadly, it was not lost on the anbu.

"why have you never had children of your own? simply because your gay?"

iruka smiled, turning to the wolf anbu at his side.

"never really thought it to be an option honestly i work so much that i just figured i didnt have any time for one of my own, i wouldnt want to be so distant from my own child. besides mizuki didnt want kids"

the anbu were surprised the chunin had brought up his abusers name. iruka turned the tables on them though and asked.

"do you have families-with children i mean?"

"we cant tell you that"

he looked ahead and asked.

"dont they worry about you, i'd be terrified of someone not coming home"

"why did you become a shinobi if you didnt want to worry?"

"my parents were shinobi, i was brought up that way i guess, i never thought about being a civilian, i didnt like the idea of being helpless"

"in wave or konoha?"

"hmm or my parents? in wave, they retired before we moved here they wanted to have time to take care of me, they never took missions, but when the nine tails attacked they joined the fight like every other able bodied shinobi"

for a while nothing was said, then the door opened revealing ibiki with a small black satchel. setting it down on the chair he had previously occupied, he turned towards the chunin.

"and how are we feeling today?"

unable to restrain himself iruka smiled and answered.

"like a bunch of friggin daisies, you?"

the anbu snickered until ibiki glarred at them. opening the small satchel he removed something that iruka had heard about but never experienced himself. it was a med nin tool used in specialized surgeries, it could cut chakra lines in the body, or fuse them together. looking to ibiki he asked.

"do the med nins know your stealing their tools?"

"this ones mine"

approaching the chunin, he kneeled before him before explaining.

"this is whats gonna happen, im gonna ask a question and your going to answer me, if i think your being a little shit or lying to me im gonna use this to make you tell me the truth understood."

trying not to show his fear he asked.

"did the hokage approve this method of interrogation?"

ibiki just smiled, sitting back on his heels he started the first line of questioning.

" lets start with something easy alright- how many comrades have you killed?"

iruka was puzzled, he had killed his teammate at his own request, but other than that he couldnt recall being responsible for any other shinobi's death that was a comrade.

"just the one"

ibiki frowned, causing iruka's eyes to widen as the chakra scapel touched his ankle. crying out in pain he felt his chakra pathways buckle under the knifes ability, before something snapped. tears poured down the chunins face, he'd never felt anything like it.

"how many?"

trying to catch his breath he called out urgently.

"just the one"

ibiki sighed before going to his other ankle. iruka turned his face away waiting for the pain.

"this is going to be a very long session if you dont start telling me the truth iruka"

his anger flarring he turned back around to the interrogations officer. and practically spat at the man.

"i am telling the truth"

ibiki shrugged before placing the chakra blade onto the undamaged ankle. iruka couldnt hold back a scream as the knife sliced through his pathway. on the outside he appeared fine, but on the inside his pathways were being cut one by one, carterized as they went so as to not allow the man to suffer chakra depletion and die. iruka panted as he tried to focus on something other than the pain. but there was nothing else to focus on.

"now iruka, why dont you tell me about your time under orochimaru's care"

"what do you want to know"

ibikis face lightened up at that response. the man asking quite jovilly.

"how long were you under his care?"

"until he defected, i think it was summer"

"so essentially since you were just out of the academy"

"yes"

"good ok, what all did he teach you? besides the summons"

iruka looked into the steel eyes of his torturer.

"he taught me how to survive as a shinobi"

"and what did that entail"

looking away from the man he spoke softley.

"anything he deemed useful in battle, genjitsu, ninjitsu and taijistu."

"what else did he teach you? forbidden techniques?"

iruka froze in his seat. just how much information did they have on him, he thought most of this information was lost to konoha since orochimaru fled and the third had died.

"iruka"

nodding his head, he spoke again.

"we-me and my teammates didnt know that they were forbidded, we were just kids"

"alright, and after you learned of their reputation?"

"i never used them"

"never?"

iruka sighed, he knew the man was getting short with him for a reason. ibiki was doubting what he was saying.

" now iruka, you expect me to believe that in all your time as a shinobi you didnt perform a single one of those jutsu's not even in training?"

the knife was closer now, hovering over his knee, just waiting for a wrong answer to grant him the ability to slice into the mans leg again.

"i trained, but that is all"

" so you never used them while on a mission?"

he shook his head, gasping as he coughed as the blade sliced into his knee. the pain oh god how it hurt. soon enough the blade was removed and iruka was left to gather his thoughts as he struggled to intake air.

"when did you use them"

iruka just shook his head, biting his lip in pain. he heard ibiki sigh and watched through is bangs as the blade was brought over to his other knee. he winced as it got closer. it did not go unnoticed.

"just tell me the truth iruka and all this can end"

"i am-aaaaargh"

he didnt even get to finish his statement before the blade sunk into his other knee. crying out tears pouring down his cheeks he began to hyperventalate at the pain.

"just breathe iruka"

he tried, but it was like there was a weight on his lungs and he just couldnt lift it off, wheezing the chunin began to see dark splotches encroach on his vision. ibiki frowned and slapped the chunin. forcing him to take a deep breath in shock.

"there we go, nice even breathes."

coughing a little iruka let his head hang where ibiki had struck it. he saw the blade again and closed his eyes, oh god the pain it could inflict. men nin's only used the tool when people were under anethesia and there was a good reason for that, it was down right torture if you were awake.

"now,when did you last use one of these techniques?"

iruka mummbled at first, but when he saw the blade come closer he cried out.

"its been years"

"how many years?"

"five, ten i dont know"

"come now iruka, you dont remember when you last summoned a giant snake like manda, or buried someone alive in your entombment jutsu?"

iruka frowned, he'd never used the jutsu on an actual person. but apparently they believed he had. he'd only managed to summon manda once while he was under orochimaru, he'd never tried after the snake sanin had fled for fear that the man would have given the snake instructions to attack.

"how many people iruka?"

"have died?"

"yes, because of you"

"my teammate was the first-i've lost a couple other teammates throughout missions but none were my fault"

the blade came closer, and iruka couldnt hold back a sob. it was poised to hit the mans hip, one of the main chakra points on the body before the vital organs.

"iruka"

"i never killed a comrade after-"

he cried out in pain as his chakra pathway was brutally severed by the blade, he was left heaving air into his lungs as his body buckled in the chair trying to process the pain.

"do you know where orochimaru is?"

he shook his head, before answering verbally.

"no-no one knows where he's hiding"

the blade crept closer, but didnt cut into him just yet. instead ibiki tried another tactic.

"would you tell us if you knew?"

"of course"

the blade crept closer again causing the chunin to flinch. he wanted away from that thing. that bringer of pain.

"and when orochimaru attacked, where were you?"

"i was in the stand watching the fights when the attack happened. i i got all the civilians to one of the caves as soon as possible"

nodding his head, ibiki withdrew the knife a bit. before questioning.

"so you had no contact with orochimaru or his men?"

iruka winced, he'd encountered one of them and orochimaru had left him a message.

"one-he pinned me down and gave me a message from him"

intrigued he brought he knife closer to the school teacher.

"and what was that?"

"orochimaru wanted to let me know that he was dissapointed in me-that i was wasting my talent here"

"and what did you say in return?"

"i didnt say anything, before i could try and fight the nin off he was gone"

shaking his head, ibiki brought the blade down to the other side of the mans hip causing him to release a very loud scream. jerking in the chair iruka couldnt believe this was happening to him, he'd never experienced pain like this, it was on a completely different level than anything he'd ever known.

"what did you say?"

"nothing"

the blade was rasied to the side of his ribs, iruka twisted in the chair trying to get away from the tool. it was no use, ibiki had complete control over the situation.

" what did you say iruka"

breathlessly, iruka answered the angered man again.

"nothing i said nothing"

he remembered screaming, but then everything turned black.
