7. Pedo Park
Itachi had to go to work early that morning since he got a call. He left a note to his brother and left the house in a hurry.
Sasuke only woke up two hours later when he heard his bedroom door open.
"Hey, uhm....Kakashi sensei had to go to the hospital...and your brother had to go to work...so it's just you and me. I got breakfast ready. Do you need help with anything?"
The Nara was used to spending time at Naruto's. It was his getaway from home. Specially since his mother had always prepared tons of activities for him to do. Too troublesome.
Sasuke sat up carefully. "No, I'm fine" he got out of bed and walked to the bathroom. Shikamaru just helped make the bed and put Sasuke's outfit on it.
He was about to leave when he heard noise coming from the bathroom.
"Sasuke, are you okay?" The older teen knocked on the door but when he got no answer he broke the door open pretty easily.
Sasuke was on the floor, still holding to the shower curtain that broke his fall. His heart beat fast and his vision was blurry. He had lost his balance, he had almost hit his head with the edge of the bathtub.
Shikamaru got on his knees, the hot water had freely soaked both of them.
"Are you hurt anywhere?" The older teen asked.
"No...I just lost my footing"
"Are you sure you didn't hit your head? I'll just call-..."
"I didn't! I just tripped! I can take a shower by myself!" He shouted, his tears mixing with the water as he angrily shouted at Shikamaru.
"There's nothing wrong with asking for help. It's not a sign if weakness" Shikamaru turned off the water and brought his bathrobe.
How could he take those words seriously when all his life he had been hearing the exact opposite?
His wet hairs covered his flushed faced as he silently cried.
His classmate's friend was helping him out of the bathroom, he was sure the entire school was going to hear about it.
The Nara silently walked to the closet returning the school outfit. Sasuke didn't have a lot of clothes. He got out of the room, going to the one across, grabbing one of Naruto's pyjamas, some brand new underwear and socks.
Shikamaru put them on the bed and looked at Sasuke.
The raven looked at the clothes.
"Those are Naruto's"
"He wouldn't mind. Want my help?"
"No..." Sasuke said.
"Okay but I'm not leaving the room" Shikamaru informed turning around "you can get dressed"
"I just-..."
"I'm in charge until Kakashi sensei or Iruka-san are back...so whatever you're going to say just shove it up your ass," the older teen replied.
"Don't peak" Sasuke said still only earning a laugh.
"I'm not interested in peaking. Besides I doubt you have anything to show for it" Shikamaru smirked, he knew he was getting on Sasuke's nerves and boy was he enjoying it.
Sasuke just got dressed as fast as possible, he was embarrassed. Whatever come back he had; Nara would slam him back immediately.
"You can turn around now" Sasuke sighed but tensed when he found himself on bed with Shikamaru on top of him. "Wha...what are you doing?"
"I know your secret" Shikamaru was almost kissing him.
"I d-d-do-don-don't ha-have a secret" Sasuke stuttered and mentally yelled at himself 'Uchihas don't stutter...we are calm, cool and collected. Get your act together, loser!'
"Sure you do. Everyone does" the older teen smirked "you fancy Naruto,"
"I don't fancy Naruto. I will never like him. Not even if he was the last person on earth" Sasuke angrily pushed Shikamaru off him. "Don't do something like that again....I thought you were straight..."
"Why...do you like me?" Shikamaru smirked jokingly "I'm pansexual if you must know..." The boy lied to see Sasuke's reaction. In reality, Shikamaru was as straight as a nail. It was Naruto who was Pansexual.
"You said you weren't interested in peaking!" Sasuke felt lied to.
"I said the truth. You're not my type...I like blondes." He smirked mischievously "thinking about asking Naruto out...now that I know I don't have to worry about competition" he got up shooting him a glance "I'll bring you breakfast."
With a click, Sasuke was in the bedroom alone.
Why was the idea of Shikamaru dating Naruto suddenly bothering him so much?
Now that he thought about it, the thought of anyone dating Naruto annoyed him.
He wanted to be the one holding the blond's hand, kiss his soft plump lips and be the one who sleeps in his arms.
Just thinking of how the blond's eyes curve when he smiles made his heart skip a beat.
Then back when Naruto was looking after him during the storm, Sasuke was sure, he was even in love with the idiot.
But he shook his head not wanting to believe for even a second that indeed he had feelings for that blond mischievous idiot.
🍙🍥🍙🍥🍙
Shikamaru was sitting on the floor in Naruto's room facing Sasuke's room as the doors were open.
"You're not going to school?"
"Not gonna leave you alone if that is what you're asking." He looked up from his book "You should stop hanging out with Neji. He's a bit of an asshole"
"Why should I take advice from a guy who skips school to vandalize buildings?"
"Uh is that what he's telling people?" Shikamaru mumbled to himself before he smiled "well if I vandalize buildings and I have not been caught...I gotta be pretty smart"
"Or extremely lucky" Sasuke got up.
"He risked his cousin's life without a care....he got Naruto sick"
"No Naruto got himself sick to get presents and act self righteous" Sasuke rectified.
"You really don't know shit about him" Shikamaru deadpanned.
"And How long have you known him for?" Sasuke got a chair and sat by the entrance facing the door. His question was asked sarcastically.
At this point, Shikamaru had thrown the book on the floor. "Give or take eleven years, he had started going to the same elementary school and he was a bit of a lonesome fella...we were classmates and one day I decided to just talk to him. We been friends ever since"
Sasuke expected the teen to say a year or two maximum. But they had been friends their entire lives. "Classmates? He was held back?"
"Sort of..." He replied, "he's always been kind. I mean the helping other people part. Ever since I knew him...he's always been like this,"
"What were you guys doing at the hospital?"
"Well...that was his idea, he wanted to make the kids' summer break less sad and lonely. We stayed the longest in the hospital you were at because of you. I told him I got a picture of you smiling but he said he wanted you to smile at him not just afterwards. He was really broken the last day...man you're a sadistic son of a bitch"
"And you're an insensitive motherfucker" Sasuke glared.
"What? A bit shocked I don't treat your majesty with fake kindness?" He smirked "I can't be bothered with faking niceness...too troublesome" he stretched as he got up.
"Where do you go everyday on lunch break with him?" At this point, Sasuke just wanted to know all of Naruto's secrets. Specially that Kurama whom Naruto mumbled about. The room had to be his.
"Vandalism, shoplifting, mugging people, drug dealing, arson," Shikamaru walked until he was an inch away from Sasuke, he saw the raven gulp. "You're actually intrigued"
Sasuke cleared his throat and rolled back into his room. "I'm going out for a walk"
"Okay" Shikamaru shrugged walking downstairs.
"Alone"
"Sure" he restated.
Sasuke got dressed and made sure he was extra warm before he left the house. He didn't see Shikamaru anywhere and relaxed after a while.
Shikamaru followed at a safer distance. He kept an eye on him.
Sasuke wasn't familiar with the area but he just went wherever his legs took him.
Shikamaru on the other hand knew which places to avoid, but he didn't want Sasuke to know he followed. So he kept an eye on the teen in the notorious Pedo Park from afar.
He watched as Sasuke was unknowingly getting approached by some guy. Shikamaru didn't wait to see what was gonna happen and called "Sasuke!"
The stranger immediately changed his course pretending he was just on a phone call.
"You followed me?! Geez I told you-..." Sasuke's eyes widen when he felt lips on his. This was his first kiss and it was unwarranted. His hands struggled to move to push the older teen away. He instead appeared to be just holding Shikamaru's coat.
The stranger walked away not looking back another second. Only then had Shikamaru broke off the kiss.
"Okay he's gone-..." He turned around and felt the harsh slap on his cheek.
"You asshole!" Sasuke looked down and just walked away. Shikamaru followed him behind.
"Look I just-....did it to protect you"
"Protect me from what?! Right now I need protection from you!"
"Is everything alright?" A well dressed man asked. He seemed to be in his early fourtys though he was much older. Hair as black as coal, eyes as narrow and yellow as a snake and a devilish smile behind the fake sincere one displayed for the public.
"Yes-.." Shikamaru answered.
"No! Everything is not fine! He just sexually harassed me!" Sasuke got behind the older male trusting toward him.
"Sasuke, I'm sorry okay...let's just go home" Shikamaru pleaded.
"I think it's best you leave. Or I'm calling the police" the older man threatened.
"What a drag," Shikamaru walked away holding his phone to call Iruka while keeping an eye on Sasuke.
"I don't feel safe...." The raven teen spoke "he'll just follow me as soon as you're gone",
"I can give you a ride and wait until your parents are home...if he comes back we'll call the police,"
Sasuke had never really had a normal life so all the red flags that were blaringly flashing in his face were unseen. Naruto was a good guy, and this person seemed just as genuine.
So he agreed, and in the middle of the phone call Shikamaru was having, Sasuke got in the man's car and left with him.
"Shit shit shit!!" Shikamaru cursed the moment Iruka picked up " Ta-49-89" he read out loud and started running after the car "Iruka, Sasuke just got in a stranger's car. Plate number TA4989." He hung up to focus on keeping an eye on where the car was going because that was not the course home.
Iruka called the police department and gave an order to search for the vehicle. A possibility of a teen abduction, he gave a description of Sasuke.
Kakashi beside him called his friends and let them know since they have better resources and he still had tons of favours to ask.
"I'll get Sasuke home, you go with Naruto. One of us needs to stay with him"
"No Kakashi...you're not gonna do anything dangerous"
"He's got cancer, he's in our custody and he could be in the hands of a serial killer. Whatever I am gonna do is far less dangerous than what I had done in the past and you know that"
"But Kakashi-.."
"No buts. I have backup"
🍙🍥🍙🍥🍙
Sasuke had found himself feeling drowsy after he sipped from the water that was handed to him.
"Sir, where do we take this one?"
"I happen to like him a lot..." The man spoke "in the mansion. Keep him in the basement until he decides to play nice" he ran his hands on Sasuke's soft lips. "I found myself a virgin, they're always fun"
The guard just took the drugged teenager to the dungeons in the basement.
When Sasuke woke up, he had realized just how hard he had fucked himself. He screamed and shouted but the guard told him the only way he was going to get out of the dungeon was if he behaved himself.
Iruka had been pacing back and forth for two days straight, staying in contact with the police and with Kakashi. No search came for that licensing plate even though Shikamaru had said it exactly as he saw it.
Naruto was sitting in front of Shikamaru. The blond had found out despite their tries solely because Shikamaru sucked at keeping secrets from his best friend.
"You can use my phone to track me?" He took his meds.
His fever had barely subsided.
"Theoretically..." He said, he could 100% do it but he needed to convince his friend otherwise to get him to not do something stupid.
"Even if it's off?"
"Yeah...as long as I override a safety system in it...I should be able to keep the chip running" Shikamaru could already read his best friend's mind.
"Okay then you do it"
"Naruto, what are you planning?"
"You know what I'm planning" Naruto got up "it's been two days. This guy obviously has a fake plate..." He got dressed "I'll try and bait him"
"I'm coming with y..."
"No, he saw your face. Come on Shikamaru just get on with it we're losing time. Sasuke is in real danger!"
Shikamaru bit his lip, he blamed himself for it after all.
He bypassed the systems and kept the GPS chip active at all times.
"Okay as soon as we find a location we're sending it to Kakashi, that's the plan right?"
"Right" Naruto reaffirmed. As if they totally were not doing a crazy thing that could backfire badly.
The blond with those last words took his phone and left.
He walked at every known bad park in the area, for hours. It was soon midday and he just took a deep breath and sighed.
The lake was semi frozen from the cold, leaves were heavy from the rain, the wind was still.
He took another deep breath, his heart ached thinking the one person he felt this way towards was hurt badly, maybe even dead.
"Are you alright, young man?" A voice cut off his chain of thought.
"Yeah...just thinking" Naruto smiled trying to seem organic. The man matched Shikamaru's description, pale skin that almost looked transluscent. bright light brown coloured eyes that looked deviously friendly, hair up in a bun with a japanese hairpin through it. He looked strangely feminine for a guy. Yet, Naruto felt like he was just winging it.
"Trouble in paradise?"
"Mhm...can I be...honest? You seem like a nice person and I just need advice"
"Go ahead" he smiled back at Naruto. The blond was not his type in terms of physique but he certainly was pleasing to the eye.
"I'm embarrassed" Naruto cleared his throat "my boyfriend...he's been pressing me to sleep with him...and I just don't think I'm ready.."
"Oh"
"I shouldn't have said anything" Naruto covered his face "god..."
"No no...this just seems the kind of thing you tell your father or...a close friend" the man stated frankly. But the purpose was to get more information.
"I...don't have parents...I live with my boyfriend...he's older...I'm kind of scared that he would break up with me and throw me in the street...." He bit his lip.
The man shook when he saw the blond bite those luscious plump pink lips. He could visibly see a blush on the kid's face, the way the teen avoided to look him in the eyes suggesting he truly was pure.
"I don't mean to sound creepy but I have a big estate. You can work for me. I always need new servants and I give them their own quarters."
"Really?" Naruto's smile grew big, his eyes sparkled.
"We can go right now. I can show you and if you like it you can decide then."
"Thank you thank you thank you!!" Naruto had forced himself to hug the man to come off as this bubbly blond idiot.
He made sure to show his amazement with the car before getting in.
Naruto knew once he drinks the water he'd most likely get drugged. He kept talking to his kidnapper until he had lost consciousness.
"A virgin," Orochimaru almost kissed the unconscious teen but pulled "I cannot get attached to products." He reminded himself "With proper grooming, he'll be worth millions by the age of eighteen. A fine specimen indeed" Orochimaru was always too fond of untouched pure ones.
The fruity smell that lingered in his nostrils made him want Naruto even more.
"Forget it, this one is mine...groom the other one, he's not as pure as this one," Orochimaru seemed to be struggling just by himself.
"Where shall I put him?"
"With my Harem," Orochimaru smirked "he's my new favourite toy,"
The security had put the teen down not finding a phone and assumed the teen was just too poor to have one. They had taken him to the Harem lodging, a place where children, none were eighteen or older, were dressed in almost nothing for the pleasing of Orochimaru.
He obviously liked boys a certain way; slender, dark hair, pale skin. Naruto was the opposite of them. They all saw the new arrival.
"A blond, I thought he hated blonds..." They looked at one another, they were all brunets, dark haired teens. The youngest of which was thirteen. He was a new arrival as well.
"He won't last a week here. Blonds are too loud and noisy for his taste" the other kid whispered back.
Naruto woke up, he moaned softly. His eyes opening and closing heavily, voices echoed off the walls.
The teens have seen that look too many times, the look of someone needing to throw up. Naruto held on to the bucket that was handed to him and threw up.
"Where am I?" He asked once he composed himself.
"Lord Orochimaru's estate, you are hereby one of his Harem"
"Harem?" Naruto looked at them "you're kids" he stood up but his legs gave out immediately.
"It'll take a while before the drug is out your system. We're going to prep you for dinner with Orochimaru-sama,"
"No...I...I feel fine. I need to talk to him" he started panicking a bit since his mind was hazy. Memories of his childhood flashed before him.
The sudden heartbeat rise and the heavy breathing made the dizziness worse.
Naruto heard the older kid order someone to bring water.
The blond looked at their faces hoping to spot Sasuke in the middle of the group. But he leaned on the teen that was his age.
"You're burning up" the brunet pulled and felt his forehead.
"Have we gotten ourselves a defective one?" the grey haired young adult was Orochimaru's puppet and right hand.
None of the other kids dared say anything. Kabuto was their worst nightmare, even worse than Orochimaru himself. Orochimaru may have hurt them but Kabuto took pleasure in it.
They have scattered around at his presence and the tensity in the room rose to over a 100%
"I'm not defective, dattebayo?"
"Too bad he said to play nice....I'd like to carve you" he grinned as he ran a finger on Naruto's cheek only for the blond to swat his hand away.
