Chapter 4
Sasuke looked up at the building. They were standing outside a doctor’s office but this one was a different kind of doctor than Tsunade. This was a psychiatrist. He took a deep breath and walked in, knowing Naruto was right behind him. He had gotten on a schedule and was doing good with keeping it. It was easier to go through the day, knowing exactly what he had to do and when. He helped with the cleaning and such so he didn’t feel like a waste of space. He and Naruto went into the office and Sasuke sat down as the blond checked him in.
Sasuke immediately took Naruto’s hand when the angel sat next to him. He scribbled on a piece of paper, “Will you come in with me?”
Naruto gave a slow nod. “If they let me. They may not. But even if they don’t, I’ll be right here when you get out.”
Sasuke wasn’t too sure he liked that answer but he’d have to settle with it. Soon the door to the offices opened and a young man, at least he thought it was a man, stepped out. He had beautiful hair, delicate features, and a slim body. He could tell by the flat chest that it was most likely a very feminine male.
“Sasuke Uchiha? I’m Dr. Haku Yuki. Will you please follow me?” The man gestured to the doorway.
Sasuke looked nervous and glanced at Naruto. Naruto translated, “Sasuke is really nervous. I’m wondering if I can come in at least for part of it until he calms down?”
Haku raised a brow but simply smiled. “As long as it’s okay with Mr. Uchiha. And you are?”
“I’m Naruto Uzumaki. He’s staying with me.” He gave a soft chuckle. “I’m the one that made the appointment.”
Haku nodded and once Sasuke and Naruto had made their way back he led them to the office. He made sure that the two men were seated comfortably on the couch before he sat in his own chair. “Now. What’s the problem?”
Naruto squeezed Sasuke’s hand to tell him it’d be alright. He could feel the other tensing next to him. “First off, Sasuke has been diagnosed with some kind of mutism so he can really only write out answers. It’s another reason why I’m here. To help. I actually brought this so I wouldn’t accidentally mess up any information.” He handed the man the paper that Tsunade had given him. “We saw Dr. Tsunade and she’s the one that recommended you.”
Haku read over the paper and nodded. “I see. Well I’ll do my best. Hopefully we’ll get this cleared up soon.” He pulled out an empty file and placed the documents in it. “Is it okay if I keep this?”
Naruto shrugged. “Yeah. I made a copy of it, figuring you’d want that in his records or something.”
A chuckle was the response. “Now, Sasuke.” He locked eyes with the man. “I see you have a pad of your own. Can you tell me what you do remember?”
The raven quickly wrote out what he had told Tsunade but then added the information from the dream at the end. He handed it over once he was finished and watched the doctor’s eyes move over it.
Haku hummed softly and made a few notes of his own on a different notepad. “Interesting. So you remember a contract.” At the affirmation nod he gave a soft smile. “It sounds to me like you might have entered into a BDSM contract with this man.”
Sasuke turned bright red and Naruto sputtered a bit. “A what?!” But it did make some sense. Especially if Sasuke had expected to be a pet.
Haku chuckled. “I help all kinds of people and this isn’t the first time I’ve come across this. What we really need to know is if you entered this on your own terms, who you entered it with, what were the parameters of the contract, and how you lost your memory. Because something doesn’t add up. Most contracts last for a year but from my understanding you were gone three years. This makes me believe that the man you gave yourself to did not hold up his end.”
The raven slowly nodded. Made sense to him. But how were they going to figure that stuff out? Sasuke couldn’t talk and he’d only had that one dream. He reached for his pencil.
“Do you have an idea that could help me remember?” He then paused as something occurred to him. He took his pad back quickly and added, “You said three years but I only remember two.”
Haku added that to his notes. “You must have gained the memory issues after the one year mark. Which makes me believe it was not a natural cause.” At the look he explained further. “It is very suspicious that the memory problems happened after the one year mark that would signal the end of a contract.” He read the other question and nodded. “Yes. I believe hypnosis might work. Now this will be a bit different due to you being unable to speak but the overall premise will be the same. I’ll put you under, walk you through the process, and if I sense you having any kind of discomfort you will be snapped out of it. Mr. Uzumaki can remain in the room to help me and once it’s all done you can write out what you remembered.”
Naru frowned. "So he entered this contract when he disappeared?"
Haku nodded. "So it seems. Is that a concern?"
Naru sighed. "Kinda. Before he left we had been dating. And...Sasuke never showed interest in that kind of thing before." Naru refused to believe that the raven was cheating on him. It just wasn’t Sasuke.
Haku added that into his notes. "With that in mind we need to consider that he was coerced into it."
Naruto felt a bit of hope from that and then immediately felt horrible about being pleased that Sasuke may have been forced to do something. "Makes sense then why the guy would turn like that I guess." He looked to Sasuke who had his head down. "Hey..." He gently nudged Sasuke.
Sasuke looked up with shame in his eyes. He had been dating an angel...and threw it away for that abusive man? What kind of monster was he?
Naruto quickly took his hand and gave it a gentle squeeze. "Calm down Sas. We'll figure this out. And no matter what, I won’t leave you." He gave a soft smile. “So you want to try this hypnosis?”
Sasuke chewed his lip. It actually sounded kind of scary. But he needed to know the truth. He hesitantly wrote out, “I guess so…will I be hurt by it?” He didn’t know how these things worked but if there was a chance that the man could hurt him again, he wouldn’t risk it.
The doctor shook his head. “No. Like I said, we’ll set up a fail-safe such as you squeezing Naruto’s hand for when you get too scared. I’ve done these before. But first, I’ll need you to sign this document here stating that you understand everything I just told you. Read it over carefully and think this through.” He handed Naruto a small packet and watched them flip through it.
A few minutes later Sasuke was taking a deep breath and signing his name on the line. He got a weird feeling of Deja’ Vu but shrugged it off.
Haku filed the document away. “Very well. Let’s begin.” He had a soft smile. “I need you to lay down. Naruto, you can sit beside him and hold his hand. If you get scared Sasuke, just squeeze it. And if it becomes too much you will simply open your eyes. Do you understand?” When he got a nod and Sasuke did as told, he continued. “Once ready I’ll be putting on a series of sounds and walk you through the daze I need you in. Once there’ll I’ll help you remember.”
Naruto wasn’t too sure about this. “What will he remember if it works?”
Haku looked at his notes. “I will be having him remember the last time he remembers talking and the first time he realized he literally cannot speak. I need to know if there was any space in between these two events.”
He stood up and got a headphone set before coming back over and handing it to Sasuke. “Put these on. Remember, if you’re too scared just open your eyes. You won’t be so far under that it won’t be possible.”
Naruto frowned. “What’s he going to hear?” He really didn’t know how this worked after all.
Haku chuckled. “It’s a series of sounds proven to relax the mind and body enough to find memories long hidden.” He looked to Sasuke. “Ready?”
Sasuke gripped Naruto’s hand tightly and nodded. He closed his eyes and focused on the strange sound flowing through the headphones. It was like ocean waves and a hint of music. His body began to relax and it wasn’t too long before he reached the desired state.
Haku smiled and sat in another chair. “Okay Sasuke. We’re going to have you go back to the last time you remember talking. Walk backwards in your thoughts and let them flow.”
Naruto couldn’t tell if Sasuke even heard but Haku seemed to see it.
“Good. Now, I need you to remember the events leading up to when you last remember talking. Just hold Naruto’s hand. It may be scary.” Another sound flowed in and it pushed him under.
I’ve been trying for some time to stop talking. I can’t hold in all the sounds but at least they aren’t pleasured anymore. I just now accidentally said ‘Sorry’ to my owner. I hadn’t meant to but it came out. I could tell he’s angry. So I’m back in my room, waiting. Strangely I don’t get punished as often anymore. And that Pet doesn’t visit so much with his torture tools. “Am I being forgotten?” It’s bad enough I myself can’t remember but to have others forget me too…this is a torture that I have never been under before. A knock at the door before it opens. I hide all emotion even though a spark of hatred fills me.
The favored pet smirked and pushed up his glasses. “Master has a solution to your mouth problem. And I get to help.” He had a medical cart with him and on it was-
Sasuke’s eyes shot open and he gasped loudly.
Naruto pulled him tight and wrapped himself around his best friend. “Shhh. Whatever you saw. It can’t hurt you anymore. You did so good. That’s it. Breathe along with me.” He rubbed the pale man’s back until he showed signs of having calmed down.
Haku was writing all this down. “I believe this will be the only one we do today. I don’t want to overwhelm him.” He set aside his notes before putting another pad with a pen down. “Okay Sasuke. I need you to write down what you saw. Take your time and lean on Naruto if you need strength.” He then sat down.
Sasuke swallowed and shakily began to write. After writing he had tears slowly falling down his face. He glanced to Naruto and immediately the blond understood.
“Do you want me to read it?” When he got a nod he took the paper and read it. After reading he found it really hard not to cry himself, but he would be strong for Sasuke. So he gave it to Haku and just pulled Sasuke close, holding him.
After Haku read it he put it in the folder as well. “Given this information we can assume that Sasuke’s fear of being forgotten is what triggered the panic attack when Naruto went to work. We will also need some more medical tests done. And it seems even more likely that this wasn’t made on his own terms.” He had a slightly worried look. “I believe we need to involve-.”
Before he can continue Naruto interrupted. “It’s already being taken care of.” Sasuke couldn’t see it but he had a look in his eyes that convinced the doctor.
So Haku gave a soft smile. “And I know you don’t want to think about that right now but it is important.”
Naruto nodded, still holding the Uchiha. “I’ll make an appointment with Dr. Tsunade. She mentioned a few things on the phone…guess they make more sense now.” He wouldn’t go into detail just yet. He didn’t want to upset the raven any further.
Haku nodded. “I’ll fax her this new information so she is updated. Now, as for how to help Mr. Uchiha here. I believe a therapy pet will greatly improve his life.”
Sasuke looked up at the word ‘pet’.
So Haku reworded it. “Let’s call it an ESA then. It stands for Emotional Support Animal. Giving him something to take care of will keep him on the schedule that Dr. Tsunade wants and it will keep him from feeling alone when Naruto eventually has to return to work. Animals can help with PTSD and many of the other symptoms he has gained.”
Naruto smiled at that and looked at Sasuke who was now looking back at him. “That sounds awesome! Right?”
After a bit of thought Sasuke nodded. It did sound nice to have a friend that won’t judge him. Sure Naruto doesn’t but that’s because he’s an angel and would never be mean. He couldn’t say the same for others.
“Great. We’ll go to the humane center tomorrow and pick one out.” The rest of the session was a bit of a wrap up as everyone agreed Sasuke needed to just rest now. They made another appointment for later in the week and planned to see how the ESA is working out. When they got home Naruto made himself some ramen and Sasuke a salad with a lot of tomatoes in it. The rest of the evening was spent distracting Sasuke, mainly with Monopoly and a movie they both found amusingly horrible.
Sasuke requested Naruto sleep with him that night and the blond immediately agreed. And as he held the other, listening to the soft sounds of breathing, his mind kept returning to what Sasuke wrote. Especially the last sentence.
“The pet had a medical cart, and on it was some vials and a syringe.”
