********
“Your pimp?”

Nodding, “he would put me in this room and have men and women come in and…and…have sex with me.” He felt dirty, he wanted to get in the shower and scrub until he bled.

The memories were coming back to him. That white room with the bright lights. He hated the room and he hated Kabuto, Orochimaru’s assistant.

Shaking his head, trying to clear them of the past, “no, no,” Sasuke groaned as he gripped his head. His body started to shake, Kami no! Not again!

Moving forward Naruto gently placing a hand on his shoulder to still him. “Sasuke, you’re alright,” he whispered.

Sasuke looked into cerulean eyes, eyes that held concern within their cobalt depths. “Naruto,” he whispered before darkness claimed him. “I’m sorry,” he whispered.

Shaking his head, “no Sasuke, I’m sorry. You don’t have to tell me any more.”

“No, I have to, I..I want you to know.” Sasuke inhaled deeply and exhaled. Looking into Naruto’s eyes he continued. “It took me 2 yrs to save up enough money to buy my freedom from Lord Orochimaru. I left him, but I was so stupid. I should have left the city but I didn’t. When I was 20 he came for me, saying that I wasn’t free, that he just LET me believe that. During that year I hadn’t don’t any drugs and I actually had a job, but that all changed when he forced me back. He told me that he was never letting me go again. He told me that if I ever ran, he would hurt Sakura,” Sasuke hissed the last part. He could still see the way those yellow eyes roamed over his body, his snake like tongue licking his thin lips.

“That bastard was playing with your mind,” Naruto growled. He wanted to beat his ass to a pulp!

“Yes he was. He put me back to work. He forced me to take Dark Desire, a drug that he told me would make me more agreeable to what was being done to me...” he stopped. His mind was in a whirlwind of terrible images of the things that Orochimaru’s clients wanted him to do. Sasuke hugged himself and stared shaking. He couldn’t get those images out of his head! “He kept telling me that he was the only one that would have me and that I was filthy. I was a whore who would do anything to get high. He said...he said...” his voice trailed off.

Naruto cursed. He should have stopped him from saying anymore. “Sasuke, you’re alright,” he soothed the raven. He moved next to him and placed a gentle arm over Sasuke’s shoulders. He began to slowly rock him; maybe the gentle motion would soothe him.

“Don’t touch me Naruto. I’m dirty, I’m filth, I don’t deserve...”

“Stop.”

“I’m a whore, I’m a filthy whore,” he whispered.

“Don’t say that!”

Sasuke’s eyes looked up into fierce blue.

“Don’t you ever say that about yourself again! You’re not dirty, you’re not filthy. You’re not a whore, that’s in the past.” He pulled Sasuke into a tight hug.

“Naruto,” Sasuke whispered as tears flowed down pale cheeks. He snuggled deeper into the blonde’s chest. “I’m afraid that they will find me.”

“Don’t worry you’re safe,” Naruto told him. He stood with the raven and they walked up to Sasuke’s room. Naruto helped him into bed and lay beside him. He listened to Sasuke’s breathing until he was sure that he was asleep before he closed his own eyes.

Sakura came in with a smile on her lips. That Neji she thought as she locked the door. She walked upstairs and headed to Sasuke’s room to see if he was ok. As she pushed on the door the site of the two men warmed her heart. Sasuke head was lying on Naruto’s chest and his arm was thrown over his waist. Naruto’s hand was buried in Sasuke’s dark locks as he was sleeping.

Smiling Sakura closed the door and went to her room. The house was big enough for them to have their own floors. So she walked up another flight of stairs to get to her floor. Once she was in her room she ran a bath and soaked. Her eyes closed as her mind went back to when Sasuke came back into her life.

~~flashback~~~

Otogara(not sure if this is how you spell this) was a large city Sakura didn’t like. She loved her old home but she needed to leave, it held to many sad memories. As she walked down the street toward her apartment her mind inadvertently wondered to her wayward brother in law Sasuke. She hadn’t seen him in 5 years. She wondered if he was alright. Sakura still held a bit of guilt for throwing him out but she was at her wits end. That was the only thing that she thought she could do. After a month her guilt had over whelmed her so she went out searching for Sasuke. She looked every where but couldn’t find him. Saddened she returned home and cried. She had just abandoned her only family.

Shaking her head she rounded a corner and stopped cold. She couldn’t believe her eyes! Was that Sasuke? She could see a dark haired man leaning forward as he his hand supported him on the car. She couldn’t believe, but she got her proof when the young man stood and looked around. Those dark eyes never change and his hair and face were the same but leaner and more mature looking. Well he was 21 yrs old. Frowning, it looked like he was getting ready to get into that car. No, she couldn’t let him go again!

“SASUKE!” She screamed as she ran toward him. She could see him hesitant before he straightened back up and looked in her direction.

His dark eyes held confusion, “Sakura?”

As Sakura got closer she could hear the person in the car, "you comin' or what?"

"No," she heard him say. He closed the door and stepped away from the door. Sakura stopped in front of her dark haired brother in law. She sobbed loudly; Sasuke-kun didn't look like his usually self. His eyes were dull his face was thinner.

Sakura could still see the confusion within his dark eyes, dear Kami, he was on something, “Sasuke it’s really me.” She whispered as she stepped closer.

He stepped back clearly not believing, but she reached out and pulled the slight man into her arms. She felt him exhale and slowly put his arms around her waist. She felt wetness on her shirt. He was crying.

“I didn’t…I didn’t think you were real,” he cried. He held her tighter.

Sakura took him to her apartment and made him eat something. After he ate they sat down on the couch, she wanted to talk to him.

“Sasuke what happened to you?”

Smiling sadly, “Survival happened to me Sakura-chan. I had to or I would have been laying in some ditch.”

Looking down she, “you’re still doing drugs aren’t you.”

Tears flowed down his pale cheeks, “I didn’t want to! I was clean at one time then he pulled me back in…”

Eyebrows crinkling in confusion, “who?”

It seemed like he didn’t want to say this person’s name, “Orochimaru,” he spat.

“Who is this Orochimaru to you?” She wanted to know.

Turning his had away; he didn’t want to look into those sea green eyes to see pity for him. He spoke without looking at Sakura, “he’s my master. He’s my pimp,” he whispered.

“What…how…’ she was at a lost for words.

“A year after you kicked me out I tried to break into a warehouse which he owned. He captured me. The bastard had something planned. He basically told me that he would give me all the drugs I wanted, but I had to sell my body. I actually bought my freedom when I was 19, but that was all an illusion. I’ll never be free of him.”

Sakura stood up. She started pacing then an awful thought struck her, “Sasuke, has he…did he…” she could bring herself to say it but he knew what she was trying to say.

Nodding silently Sasuke stood and walked over to the window. “From the first moment he captured me...” he whispered.

“That bastard!” She watched as he moved from the window back to the couch. He laid his head against the back.

“I have to get out of here. If he finds out where I am he’ll kill you….” His eyes started to drift close. A minute later he was sound asleep.

Sakura felt guilty for slipping the sleeping potion in with his juice, she didn’t care. She wasn’t letting go of her only family.

~~hours later~~

Sasuke’s dark eyes slid up slowly, taking in the strange ceiling. ‘He was at a clients’, he thought as he swung his legs down. He noticed that he had been lying on the couch. ‘Wait a minute, he wasn’t at a client’s,’ he thought as his onyx eyes fell on his pink haired sister in law.
“It wasn’t a dream?”

Sakura had closed her eyes but she opened them to find Sasuke looking at her. Smiling, “Good morning Sasuke-kun.” She yawned.

Panic set in the pit of his stomach as he stood, “MORNING! I’ve been here all night?!” He nearly shouted. “He’s going to hurt me, he going to hurt me.” He kept repeated as he made his way toward the door.

Sakura was fast and blocked his way.

Sasuke shouted then, “Sakura move! Do you know what you’ve done! Now he’s going to kill you for taking me! I can’t let him; I won’t let him hurt you! I can’t lose you...”

“We won’t be here,” she told him smiling. She had thought about this all night. Once her mind was made up she made arrangements last night.

Looking at her with confusion in those dark orbs, “what are you talking about?”

“Sasuke, do you want to get away from him.”

With no hesitation, “yes, but I can’t. He’ll find me. He always does.”

“I didn’t ask you all that. I am taking you away from here right now. We are going to a place where they have a great rehab center where you can get clean.” She told him softly.

Shaking his head he thought he was still in a dream.

Sakura stepped up to him and placed her hands on his face to still the shaking. “This is no dream Sasuke. I’m here to take you away.”

His eyes were moist but tears didn’t fall. “Sakura, I’m sorry.” He whispered as she pulled him into her arms.

An hour later they were gone; the apartment was emptied out, all traces vanished. Kabuto stood in the middle of the small apartment frowning. He knew that Sasuke bitch was here. He got the info from a source that said they saw Sasuke being led here by a pink haired woman. The only one that fit that description was his Sister in law. It was one hell of a coincidence that she saw him on the street.

“He is not going to like this.” He said as he pulled out his cell phone.

~Flashback ended~~~


Sakura settled in her bed as her eyes drifted close. That was a year and a half ago. Sasuke was clean, he was a successful singer, but his mind still held so many scars from his past. She hopes that Naruto would be able to help heal those.

!!!!!!!!!

“No please Lord Orochimaru! I… can’t….. breathe!!!” There was a snap as the scream ended abruptly.

Orochimaru continued to pound into the still body under him until his released came hard. He pulled out of the young man’s body and climbed off the bed. Scowling he glared down at the pale dark haired young man. “Not the same,” he hissed.
