A/N: A little translation: Leave a Rainbow means to leave a comment. :) Sorry if there was any confusion ^^. Here's chapter two!
A Painful Reality
Part Two
The next thing I remembered was the ticklish summer breeze…
Naruto sat on the porch swing, an empty lemonade glass in one hand and a manga sprawled against his lap. He was so utterly bored! He blew away a stray blonde hair that was attacking his eyes and sighed when he saw that night was slowly descending and Sasuke still wasn’t home.
‘That bastard,’ he thought as he picked up his contents and entered the Uchiha mansion. It had been approximately two months since Naruto had entered this strange world where humans trained as skilled ninjas and monsters and beasts co-existed peaceful with everyone. Although to the blonde, it only seemed like a week or two since he had met Sasuke in that star bathed grassy field.
Naruto placed his empty glass in the sink and stored his manga away for some other time. Sitting on top of the counter, Naruto allowed his mind to wander back to the first month of his arrival. To say things were hectic back then would have been a complete understatement. It had taken our little blonde at least three days to get used to Sasuke’s constant prick-like attitude. And another four days after that to be able to get from his room, all the way down to the kitchen and back without getting lost.
Two weeks later and Naruto was ready to tackle communicating with the other people from this world.
The first person he met by chance was Hidan. Normally, Hidan was at the Uchiha mansion everyday since he was Itachi’s lover and faithful battle partner. But Naruto was never allowed to leave his room when the man was around. At first the blonde was highly offended. Sure, he was an outsider of sorts, but he was a nice guy!
“Sasuke, let me out of this damn room already!” he cried, banging on his door with his newly healed hand.
Sasuke clicked his tongue and casually leaned against the door on the other side. Seriously, Naruto’s threats and yells were mere child’s play to the raven. However, it was always the defiant and rebellious side he found himself somewhat attracted to.
“Naruto, we’ve been over this five times now. Whenever Hidan’s over you can’t leave your room.” He pinched the bridge of his nose and let out a long sigh. “It’s merely for your own protection.”
“Protection from what?!” Naruto cried only to be responded with the sound of Sasuke’s footsteps walking away. The blonde pouted and huffed, sliding down the door into Indian style on the floor with his arms crossed against his chest. Now he was insanely curious about this Hidan character. And there was no way in hell he was just going to sit there and miss out on anything this new world could offer him.
Smirking deviously, Naruto quickly drew up a map in his head of the Uchiha mansion’s third floor. At the end of the hallway was the enormous library filled with books from the different beasts and deities in this world all the way to how to cook the most delicious ramen. Naruto had read that book, and actually done the dish, in less than a day.
Then, right across from his room was Sasuke’s. The raven had demanded - more like insisted - that Naruto be roomed somewhere close to him so that if anything were to ever happen he could easily get to Naruto and save his ass from trouble. Although Naruto was highly against it at first, he couldn’t help but feel that warm bubble of happiness float through him at the thought that someone actually cared enough for him to put his needs and safety first.
The determined look on his face, and the gentle reassurance a simple hand gesture on the shoulder had Naruto furiously shaking off a blush to return to his plans.
After Sasuke’s room leads stairs that go to the second floor which is primarily Itachi’s floor since he was an ANBU Captain and apparently needed a whole floor for himself for important ANBU needs. In Naruto’s opinion he just thought Itachi loved to live in the lap of luxury and milked it for all it was worth.
“And If I crawl out the window, there’s a tree just a few feet away that I could probably jump to.” Naruto started to search for his shoes - which were more like sandals but they were still pretty comfy - and once he found them snagged his pocket knife and stuffed that safely away in his pocket.
Just feeling the cool metal instrument in his pants pocket made him feel instantly a lot safer and more confident about what he was going to do. It was a little strange, that such an object could bring about such emotions, but to Naruto his pocketknife was literally his tangible hope that before he felt like it was all he needed to protect himself.
Sasuke though had begged to differ.
The next thing I remembered was his touch.
“Naruto, why do you always carry that weapon around?” the two were walking down the streets of Konoha, enjoying the busy yet somewhat peaceful Saturday afternoon together as they hopped from store to store. Sasuke was highly curious about why Naruto was so on guard all the time that he felt the need to carry such a tool. He felt a little insulted that Naruto didn’t trust him enough to protect him as he promised.
Sasuke had one major ego. And it was the type of ego that was easily wounded and would do anything to fix its status.
Naruto just shrugged off the question, more interested in the colorful looking masks on one of the shop windows than answering Sasuke. The raven gritted his teeth, holding back a snappy comment as his annoyance level peaked to new heights.
Watch your temper, Sasuke. The raven rolled his shoulders back and let out a deep breath before catching up to the blonde in mid-stride. He hated to beat around the bush, just as much as he hated people who ignored his questions out right. Sasuke abruptly grabbed Naruto by the arm and dragged him to a nearby alleyway, holding onto him tightly and ignoring his yelling protests as they ran down the alley.
“Sasuke, where are you taking me?” but Sasuke just kept running and running until they reached his destination. He pushed open the hidden door, and ran up the stairs with Naruto being forcibly tagged along.
“Here,” Sasuke finally answered, smirking in triumph at the complete look of awe that devoured Naruto’s face. The perfect spot, he thought when he saw Naruto run up to the edge of the mountain top to peer down at the village below. “This is the Hokage Mountain where we pay tribute to our leaders by carving their faces into the mountain.”
“Sort of like Mount Rushmore!” Naruto connected the dots, brimming happily at the connection, only to frown at the confused look he was getting from the raven. “Never mind,” he mumbled and plopped down to the ground. “So… why did you bring me here all of a sudden?”
Sasuke sat on the ground gracefully, leaning on the palms on his hands as he stared out into the sunset with the blonde sitting contently by his side. “Well, you never answered my question about that weapon of yours. So I decided a place like this might help you unwind and tell me.” He cocked his head to the side, onyx locks falling to perfectly frame his face. “Was I wrong to bring you here?”
Naruto shook his head furiously. A bit of shyness seeping through his body caused him to bite onto his lower lip. “No… you weren’t.” he smiled sheepishly, “It’s just that this seems over the top just to learn something about me.”
“It doesn’t seem that over the top to me.” The raven stared at Naruto with hard midnight eyes before softening them with his grin. “I’d like to learn more about you as all. And if that means I have to take you somewhere to do it, I will.”
Then, I remembered the happiness dancing along with other feelings flowing through my body.
Naruto’s body trembled at those light fingers danced across the back of his neck, toying with the end of his hair. Sasuke may be a prick half the time but there were the rare times when Sasuke showed his soft side. Naruto was just lucky that now was one of those times.
The touch felt so foreign to the blonde that he almost winced away from it. When hands touched him, it was to grope and hit, not to caress lovingly and to reassure. When soft words were spoken, they were poisoned with malice and hatred, not with a delicate softness traced with speckles of kindness.
And when eyes bored so deeply into his own pair that he felt like he was going to melt, it meant that he should be trembling with fear rather than from this weird source of pleasure that caused his senses to tingle alive.
Naruto let out a sigh, unconsciously leaning into the comforting touch as his eyes fluttered to a close. His hand reached into his pocket to grab his pocketknife, instantly feeling that wave of comfort wash through him as he gripped onto the metal object. He pulled it out and rolled it in his hands.
“It’s not really a weapon…” Naruto spoke softly, “but more like a safety precaution.” He sighed once more. “You see, where I come from… well, it wasn’t a very nice place. It was basically fight or be beaten to a bloody pulp. I could have been attacked at any moment, so I started carrying this pocketknife along just in case.” He shrugged it off like it was some nonchalant thing, or like he didn’t just lie through his teeth.
In reality, Naruto was telling the truth, just a fabricated version of one. His eyes drifted closed at the horrible memories that were tugging on his mind. The nights he would spend curled in the corner trembling, body covered with bruises and blood stains, completely naked to the world, with his hands outstretched and his pocketknife gripped tightly in his hand.
He would scream and scream, hoping that vile person would just leave him alone. He would scream till his voice went raw. He would tremble and cry and pray to God that the torment would finally be over…
And for the meanwhile… it was.
Naruto didn’t know it then, but silent tears were falling from his closed eyes as the memories swarmed in his mind like muddy water. Just then, warm and strong arms surrounded his torso and enveloped with another foreign feeling that he couldn’t place. Sasuke buried his face into the crook of Naruto’s neck and held him tightly. For now, he’d allow Naruto to play him as the fool, because he knew there was more to Naruto’s explanation than meets the eye.
But for now, Naruto needed the comfort, Sasuke could see that much, and held onto the blonde until the stars came to dance in the sky.
I remember the feeling of his touch…
Naruto smiled at the pocketknife as he balanced himself on the biggest branch of the tree. He was currently staring through the massive window that would allow him access into the second floor.
“Alright, Uzumaki, all you have to do is swing from this branch with enough force to knock open the window.” Honestly, the plan seemed more real in his head than it did in actuality. But the blonde was a trooper. Getting himself ready for the jump, Naruto gripped tightly onto the branch, propelling his body back and forth to gain momentum before launching himself off and perfectly knocking the window open.
And then I remembered the moans.
What Naruto walked in on next would forever be engrained in his mind.
“You’re so fucking tight, Itachi!” the voice groaned as he shoved his cock right into the hilt of Itachi’s entrance. Drowning himself in the enormous waves of pleasure that rocked through his body.
Itachi met the man’s movements with every thrust, raising his hips to dig that delicious cock further and further into his body. Every time his prostrate was struck and every time Itachi threw his head back, eyes rolled, and moaned in complete pleasure.
Naruto nearly jumped out the window.
“Dobe, I told you not to leave your room.” Sasuke suddenly appeared in a hushed whisper. He placed one nimble finger against his lips to notion the blonde to be silent or else they’d be disrupting their ‘activities’.
After that embarrassing moment, Naruto was dragged back to his room where he formally met Hidan, Itachi’s lover. However, neither Itachi nor Hidan let on that they noticed Naruto the minute he swung in through the window. The two just liked the thought of having an audience view them once in a while.
Naruto made it a habit to not go against Sasuke’s orders unless they were truly ridiculous.
