iruka couldnt even bring himself to groan, he felt like shit. he lay there for some time with his eyes closed just relishing the ability to keep them closed, when the sudden urge to hurl had him vomiting over himself. immidietly he felt people tugging on his restraints trying to get him loose so he wouldnt choke, but he just kept vomiting, he couldnt inhale and couldnt really exhale he was trapped inbetween the two actions which made his head swim. he was roughly yanked onto his side and had his back hit roughly to try and induce coughing, it worked surprisingly well and soon the chunin was gasping for air. the group of anbu sighed in relief when they heard the teacher take his first gasp of air, they had at first been unable to get his hands free it wasnt until asuma used his trench knife to just cut the damn rope that they were able to turn the chunin on his side, when he didnt start coughing they reacted immidietly striking his back hard to induce coughing. as the man continued to cough and gasp the anbu looked to one another. that had been too close for comfort.

"iruka can you hear me?"

kurenai tried to get the man to respond to her, but the man just kept coughing. sighing she left him be for a moment longer. before commenting.

"we cant tie him up again."

the others nodded, it was obvious the man was going to continue to be sick from the truth serum, and the last thing they wanted was to have the chunin die while in their care. when the coughing finallly died down they tried to talk to him, but all iruka said was

"god damn this sucks"

smiling a little kurenai kneeled down to make eye contact with the man, rubbing his arm to get him to open his eyes. seeing the red eyes of kurenai iruke couldnt help but try and smile, it didnt reach very far, but it was an effort on his part.

"can you sit up?"

iruka nodded and with a little help they got him sitting up. looking down to himself he grimaced, he was covered in his own vomit. the throbbing in his hand caught his attention for a minute before he sighed.

"im gonna guess i was extremely mouthy"

they smiled back at him, iruka just nodded his head. it was genma who spoke out.

"how'd you really know it was us?"

iruka glanced back at the senbon sucking man.

"i just know- i've seen you all so much over the years, i guess i shouldnt be surprised i mean you are elite jounin after all." reaching up he rubbed his neck where the injections had taken place. he winced once he touched the tender flesh there, taking his hand away he rested it behind himself to hold himself up. iruka refused to make eye contact as he mummbled.

"now what?"

the anbu didnt know quite what to say so they chose to remain silent. it was kakashi who let the chunin know what was going on.

"ibiki went to talk with the hokage"

"ah"

tilting his head back he took a deep breath, the naseau was getting worse again. he had enough time to warn them this time as he hurled over the side of the table he was still presently tied to. once he was done heaving he wiped his mouth and laid back down much to the surprise of the anbu.

"you alright?"

iruka shook his head, his eyes closed he tried to control the roiling of his own stomache as it rebelled against the drugs that had been forced into his body.

"you need to stay awake"

iruka sighed, somehow he was dissapointed in them. he didnt say as much, just opened his eyes and stared into nothingness. he ended up vomiting two more times before ibiki got back. the man seemed less than pleased when he returned. and even more pissed off at seeing all the mess. he quickly yelled for a clean up crew and ordered them get iruka some new clothes at the very least. so iruka sat there while raido went to grab a new outfit for him, his ankles still tied to the bed. he refused to look at the angered man. it was ibiki who spoke first.

"do you realize how much trouble your in"

"i can guess"

"no no you cant"

iruka nodded, raido returned a plain shirt and some baggy pants in his hands. ibiki came forward and cut the ties around his ankles before saying rather smuggly.

"dont bother trying to stand, with your chakra pathways cut you'd be useless"

iruka didnt bother to respond to the bait, instead he simply took the clothing offered to him and said a small thanks to raido. none of them bothered to turn around, he knew he wouldnt be given any privacy, so he just started stripping, taking his flak jacket off and then his first layer off which had absorbed most of the vomit. finally getting to his last layer of clothing, iruka blushed a little while removing his shirt. although he propably didnt have nearly as many scars as they did, there were traces of his mission days on his body. more so there were a decent amount of scars left from his sensei, but he wasnt about to bring that up to them. instead he struggled to get his pants undone with only one hand, he managed but it was thouroughly embarressing to be seen that way. once he had them off, he pulled the baggy pants over his legs carefully, everything hurt now and all he wanted to do was sleep for forever. again he realized this wasnt an option. once he was done he nodded to ibiki. the man just frowned at him before stating.

"we will continue tomorrow after i have taken care of some things. it would be in your best interest to cooroporate"

iruka didnt have a chance to respond before the man was out of the room. sighing iruka looked down to his acheing legs. he could feel the chakra pathways trying to reconnect, but without a med nin they wouldnt be able too. he was no fool he knew if they didnt allow a med nin to heal some of these things that there would be permanent damage. instead of focusing on that, which made him both angry and sad at the same time, he reclined again on the now clean table. he didnt bother to close his eyes, instead opting to start his favorite passtime of counting the cracks in the ceiling.

"iruka?"

"hmm"

"i'm-"

iruka didnt let her finish, he knew what she was going to do to try and make things better. but frankly he didnt think that was possible anymore. so instead he turned away from her. kurenai closed her mouth, knowing that the man wasnt ready to hear what she had to say. asuma came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her, putting his head on the top of hers. it was no secret anymore that the two of them were together, so it seemed only natural for them to seek comfort in one another for what they had had to watch and inflict upon the poor chunin. with his back to the majority of the anbu he simply starred ahead at the wall. genma and raido were on this side of him so they made sure he stayed awake. it was raido who tried to lighten the mood a little.

"did the hokage really hate that report?"

iruka didnt look at the man, but he did reply.

"she used it as a coaster for her sake"

the other anbu chuckled at raido's misfortune, his lover genma switching his senbon from side to side. iruka wasnt sure what he was supposed to do now. was he supposed to act like everything was alright, that shinobi he had come to respect hadnt just played a part in his torture? curling his arm around his hurt hand he brought it up to his chest like any child would do to protect a wound from being touched. genma and raido looked to one another before trying to talk to the chunin.

"ano- the kids are doing good in their training"

iruka didnt respond to asuma's bribe of information about his previous students. instead iruka seemed to be tracing something on his wrist with his good hand. stepping closer raidou was able to see two small scars on the mans wrist, puncture marks. like the fangs of a snake. leaning back against the wall he sighed. they might be the reason this chearful, caring man breaks. the kids truly loved their old sensei holding him in high reguard, he didnt know how he'd explain if something had to happen to the man. the resorted to quietly talking to one another about stupid things, just to keep the silence from filling the room. occasionally there would be a scream from another room, iruke didnt flinch anymore at the noise, he didnt even inhale sharply anymore. he simply continued to trace the scars on his wrist.

*******

iruka had refused to talk to them when they tried to engage him in conversation, he never tried to sleep, but he never tried to do anything really. he just lay there on his side fingering the marks left behind what they were sure to be a poisoness snake. the door opened to reveal a abnormally calm ibiki. his hands folded over his chest, the man approached the chunin.

"you going to answer any questions i have for you?"

at first it looked like iruka wasnt going to answer ibiki which they knew would anger the temperemental nin, but iruka finally shrugged which seemed to be enough for the interrogations officer. shooing the anbu to the other side of the chunin he leaned up against the wall facing the chunin, iruka continued to look straight ahead and rub at his latest attempt at taking his own life. ibiki seemed to catch on to what the man was doing and bluntly asked.

"so you want to die?"

the men and women behind the chunin winced at the question. unsure as to what had brought up the sore subject. it wasnt until they saw irukas shrug that they realized just how broke iruka appeared to be. frowning at the chunin he went to reach forward, but the chunin pulled away suddenly. ibiki stopped, the frown on his face growing, he obviously wasnt used to his prey getting away from him.

"dont move"

the tone of voice left no room for arguement, reaching out to the chunin again, iruka flinched but didnt resist as the interrogations officer took his good hand away from the scar.

"i asked if you wish to die now?"

"doesnt really matter what i want ibiki"

"no it doesnt, but that still leaves the question of why your tracing your old scar"

looking down to his wrist iruka looked at the two identical puncture wounds. they were perfect in every way, except that they hadnt managed to do the job. looking over to ibiki for the first time since the nin entered the room, iruka asked.

"the only thing i want is to go home"

"thats not an option"

"then dont ask me"

frowning at the man he let go of the hand he held. iruka slowly took it back, placing it under his head like a pillow.

"i'll ask whatever i like and you'd do good to answer"

again iruka just shrugged at the man's irritation. ibiki reclined himself against the wall once more before pulling out his little book he had been recording everything in. iruka glanced at it before looking at the floor.
"curious?"

"about what you think about me? no"

ibikki frowned at the man, he wasnt used to being talked to like this. he was starting to get annoyed with the chunin.

"listen iruka, we can do this the easy way or the hard way i really dont care which way it goes, i'll get what i want either way, but you might want to consider how much pain your willing to indure just to be obstinant. so what will it be?"

for some reason, iruka got mad at that comment, like he had a choice in anything that was happening, if he told the truth he wasnt believed if he took the damn drugs he was believed but puked his guts out and made them just feel more sorry for the poor little chunin. resolved to at least have some control over his situation even if it was minutely he spoke quite clearly.

"you better go get more drugs then"

ibiki nodded, leaving without another word. the anbu standing behind him looked at the frail man infront of them, they couldnt see his face, but they had a pretty good idea of what the chunin was thinking.

"iruka- are you sure you want to do that?"

raido spoke up out of concern for the chunin who had always been kind to him and genma. iruka just shrugged before commenting.

"whats the worst that could happen? i take the drug and get sick as hell, or take the drug and possibly OD, or dont take the drug and let that bastard torture me for shits and giggle. i think i'll take option one"

genma stepped forward, switching the senbon in his mouth to the other side before speaking around it.

"pissing him off isnt gonna help you any"

"neither is answering the damn questions"

shaking his head genma leaned back against raido and waited with the others for ibiki to return. it didnt take long for the man to come back in toting another dosage of the light blue liquid. approaching the chunin he filled the needle and waited for the man to show him his neck. when that didnt happen he let out a suttle growl of the mans name.

"iruka"

sighing, iruka dropped his shoulder down, exposing his neck. the needle went in swiftly and the plunger was depressed allowing another dosage of that special cocktail to enter the chunin's system. iruka lay there, waiting for his mind to get hazy, ibiki having taken his seat in the chair pulled off to one side so he could look at the chunin while he questioned him. iruka rather suddenly turned to his other side, irritating the man, but not garnishing a response. instead iruka just looked past the bodies of his allies, never glancing to their faces. it didnt take long for the chunin to start looking around the room sporadically, a simple nod from kakashi got ibiki to start the line of questioning.

"alright iruka, lets see where we left off, ah yes your suicidal and have been attempting to end your life for some time. according to your health records you've never been admitted to the hospital for anything related to a suicide attempt. how is that?"

"im not close with anyone, i'd just call in sick for a few days until i healed up and go right back to work"

"i see, and no one questioned any of the new scars on your body?"

"no one noticed"

nodding his head ibiki wrote something down, before continueing.

"and do all of these attempts been soley about your wish to protect people from yourself as you stated before, or have you also wished to harm yourself because enjoy it"

"dont know"

"do you plan to attempt such things in the future if your allowed to leave this facility?"

"yeah"

"and why is that?"

"dont want to be here anymore"

nodding his head ibiki moved onto a more relevant line of questioning.

"your relationship with jinchuriki has been something people have wondered about, is it simply because you pitty the boy-"

"i love him"

"you love him, like you loved mizuki?"

"no, he's like a kid brother to me. i have to look out for him"

"i see"

writing some more down in his book it was kurenai who spoke up.

"have you ever told anyone of your suspicions of people in the anbu ranks?"

ibiki frowned at her, but she wanted to try and prove that the chunin wasnt a threat to their identities.

"no, never thought about it until all of this happened."

"and would you tell anyone?"

"no"

"why"

ibiki cut her off.

"because-its forbidden"

"so you'd be following orders is that correct?"

"yes"

"and yet in your previous missions it seems you have a history of having problems with following orders. why is that?"

"probably because sensei didnt hold anyone in high reguard"

"so you follow his beliefs in no one is above you?"

iruka shook his head on his arm.

"everyones above me, i just dont like taking orders from people who think their better than me"

"so everyone you've worked with has looked down on you, is that it?"

"its seemed that way"

"alright, lets talk about your last mission, the one where you killed your teammate, at his request. why did he request such a thing of you?"

"he was dying"

"why?"

"genetic dissorder, he had planned on letting the enemy ninja kill him in the field, but when he was paired with me, he figured he could just ask me to use my summons and end his suffering."

"which you did"

"yes"

"and did you enjoy killing him?"

"no"

writing something down in his book, he ignored the pleading looks from his anbu, it was obvious that they were starting to fail at distancing themselves from the chunin.

"do i need to order you all to leave?"

"no sir"

"good, iruka whats your opinion of our present hokage"

"she drinks too much"

the anbu smiled, everyone knew that tsunade had a drinking and gambling problem.

"other than that"

"she's quick to anger, impossibly strong and can heal just about anything so long as theres no blood around"

"so you know of her weakness to blood"

"sensei told me"

"i see, did he speak of other people?"

"yes"

"who?"

"jyrayia, the clan leaders, the council"

"so all the important figure heads in konoha"

"yes"

"and you didnt think to report this to the hokage?"

"no, i thought he was just messing around"

standing, he walked around to stand beside his anbu officers so that he could watch the chunins face again.

"and after your encounter with his little messenger, did you do anything?"

"tried to kill myself after the third died"

nodding his head ibiki lead on.

"anything else? you didnt try to chase after your sensei?"

"no one was being allowed in or out of konoha, i couldnt have left even if i wanted too."

"did you want too?"

"yes"

the anbu glanced to one another, that wasnt a good thing.

"and why did you wish to go after your sensei?"

"to try and reason with him, to get him to return sasuke to konoha and end this war"

"but instead you stayed in the village continueing to teach the children while simultaneousy trying to kill yourself. did you believe yourself to be of sound mind to be around children?"

"no, but we were already short on teachers. i couldnt leave them with another load of kids to teach.so i tried to do my best"

"i see, have you ever thought of trying for a higher rank using the skills orochimaru taught you?"

the anbu were worried about where this line of questioning was leading. the chunin was oblivious to what was going on around him and so he answered not witholding anything.

"yes, to get stronger"

"and what would you have done with that higher ranking?"

"protect the village"

"from what?"

"anything"

"even orochimaru"

"yes"

"even if it meant your life?"

"yes"
