Naruto feigned sleep as he sat uncomfortably on the cold stone ground. He was aching all over. Itachi had proven to be more than competent at teaching him the necessary techniques to help protect Sasuke, but that didn’t mean he had a gentle teaching style. It also didn’t mean it was going to work. Everything Naruto believed to be true was being shaken and having seen Itachi look slightly shaken was not helping his confidence. There were hundreds if not thousands of questions running through Naruto’s head, but they would all remain unanswered. From this moment on he could not even so much as think Sasuske’s name. This was it. This was the last time. Sasuke.
Naruto concentrated on everything Itachi had taught him. He was as ready as he was going to be, and now all he could do was wait. His captor had left him 10 minutes ago and a few guards had come in to add additional chains. His wrists were chained together and his ankles were chained in a way that would only allow him to take slow small steps. A heavier chain was then strung between his wrists and his ankles and the heaviest chain of all was attached by a metal collar to his neck. He was currently sitting on the floor outside of the room where he had been kept. The guards were speaking to each other in low voices and Naruto cocked his head to see if he could pick up any of their conversation.
“...as far as that wooden fence before you reach the Old Woods.”
“...raised by witches and then...”
Naruto inched closer to them. His movement had gone unnoticed so he moved another few inches until he could hear almost every word.
“...more creepy than her brother if that’s possible. When I was growing up my mother told me all kinds of stories about the witch in the woods, and if even half of what she said was true, whatever that girl has inside her is dark.”
“I heard him say she can read minds. I wish I had known that when she first got here. When she first arrived I had some... thoughts... about her. She may be threatening, but that doesn’t mean a man doesn’t get ideas.”
“If I were you I would keep my thoughts on more important things... like staying alive. I heard one of the cooks say they heard she could kill with only her thoughts.”
“Why all the precautions on the boy then? He doesn’t look all that tough to me. If she can kill a man with her mind why do we have to slow ourselves down by chaining him like that.”
“You don’t know?" The first guard sounded amazed. "He’s the Kyubbi. His entire village is terrified of him. He’s a total monster. I heard when the villagers heard he’d been captured there was more relief than anything else. They've been gathering in houses having parties!”
Naruto bit his lip to keep from feeling the hurt that was sinking deep into him. It wouldn’t have hurt so badly if he weren’t sure it was true. A swift kick to the ribs sent him flying back a few feet and his head hit the wall with a sick thud. Naruto’s eyes flew open in terror. The second guard was approaching him and had a vicious look in his eye. He kicked Naruto hard in the chest and then grabbed the chain that was around his neck and gave it a sharp jerk. Naruto ended up tumbling forward onto his face and felt as his lip split open.
“That’s for my nephew you twisted little bastard. He was ten years old. Ten years old! You deserve what you get and I hope that witch tortures you in ways you’ve never even imagined. I hope she gets into your mind and makes you suffer like you made my family suffer. You’re a monster. Disgusting. I should kill you!”
“He’s not actually the demon you know? You’re not going to hurt the Kyubbi by beating the boy.”
Mina stepped forward out of the shadows and both of the guards snapped to attention under her cold glare. He was glad for all the hours he had been on the receiving end of a similar glare because it made him feel less at ease now. It was almost comforting actually.
“He’s a monster.” The second guard responded. His voice was shaking and he was backing up ever so slightly. He was obviously intimidated but his disgust at Naruto was still evident.
Mina took another step forward.
“If you put a snake in a box, the box does not become a snake, it’s just a box with a snake in it.”
“A snake in a box is still dangerous.” The guard muttered.
Mina looked amused and then fixed her eyes on Naruto.
“Only if you open it.” she said evenly.
Naruto felt his mouth go dry.
“Let’s get moving. I’m hoping we’ll reach the woods before noon.”

Itachi stopped outside his brother’s door. A nervous servant had come to tell him that Sasuke would not allow food to be brought into the room. Apparently every time the door opened even just a crack the younger Uchiha would throw something at the door. Itachi reached for the door knob and opened it just a crack. Something heavy hit the door immediately and Itachi stopped.
“Sasuke. Stop acting like a petulant child.”
He entered the room and a plate came flying skillfully at his face. Itachi sidestepped and the dish clanked harmlessly to the ground.
“Stop this at once. This is the most pathetic thing I’ve ever witnessed.”
Sasuke glared at him from his perch on the bed.
“Let me see Naruto.”
“No.”
Itachi side stepped again, this time avoiding an ornate candle holder. In one swift move he had made it to the bed and pinned his younger brother. Sasuke was not going to give up as easily as he had the night before and he began fighting his brother wildly. Itachi had no choice but to straddle his brother at the waist. He removed the belt he was wearing and roughly bound Sasuke’s wrists together and then to the iron headboard. This didn’t stop Sasuke’s fighting and much to his credit he managed to bite his older brother’s arm, drawing blood. Itachi was impressed by the amount of fight left in his younger brother and wondered if it had to do with Naruto. Had a night’s worth of jealousy already made him this much stronger?
Itachi stood up and took a velvet rope off of one of the curtains. He straddled Sasuke again to stop his thrashing and tightly tied his ankles together. For the first time Itachi noticed the steady stream of obscenities that were coming out of the mouth of his little brother and without giving it much though pressed his mouth to the mouth of the younger Uchiha. He felt Sasuke tense beneath him and clamp his mouth firmly shut. When Itachi pulled away from the kiss, his younger brother stared at him with venomous eyes.
“Get the fuck off of me.” Sasuke said quietly. The intensity in his voice would have been numbing if Itachi wasn’t immune to that kind of thing.
Itachi thought for a moment and then answered.
“Let me kiss you and I’ll tell you what you want to know.” He made sure to keep his voice steady so it didn’t betray the actual desire that was buried just beneath the surface.
“You’re sick.”
“Fine, don’t give me what I want and I won’t give you what you want. It’s easy.” Itachi moved off of Sasuke and straightened the front of his shirt.
“Will you tell me the truth?”
Itachi smiled to himself.
“For a Favor.”
