The Secret

Prologue

It was a breezy August evening in the Village Hidden in the Leaves.

The calm atmosphere was broken by screams for help, falling on deaf ears.

In a rundown apartment, a teen screamed out, trying to push his attacker away from him, but to no avail. The person he thought of as a brother wouldn't budge, no matter how hard the teen pushed against him.

Soon, the attacker finished, giving the teen a devious smirk before leaving out the bedroom window.

He left the teen on his disheveled bed, bloody and covered in fluids, tears streaming down his face.

"Why, Sasuke? Why would you do this to me?" His voice was hoarse from screaming out, body exhausted from attempting to fight off his best friend.

He finally gave into exhaustion, falling asleep as tears continued to trail down his face, promising himself he would get cleaned up in the morning.

Just before sunrise, a loud banging sounded on the front door. Naruto scrunched up his face in annoyance as the knocking continued. He cursed the visitor silently as he sat up, only to stifle a cry when a stabbing pain traveled like lightning up his spine. When he recalled what happened during the night, tears threatened to fall once more.

"It wasn't a nightmare..." he whispered as he stared down at his bare skin, crispy-feeling and flaky from the dried substances on his stomach and thighs.

The incessant knocking continued, snapping the blond out of the memories, reminding him of what woke him up in the first place.

He slowly pulled himself out of bed and carefully dressed himself in a pair of boxers and a random t-shirt from the floor, wincing in pain at every movement.

Once clothed, he limped to the door, rubbing his eyes in an attempt to free him from the dried tears in the corners of them.

Upon opening the door, he found his other teammate, Sakura, standing in the hallway, dried tear tracks still visible on her cheeks.

"Sakura," he started, only to cough at the soreness in his throat. "What are you doing here so early?"

At his question, the girl broke out in tears all over again, sobbing into her hands.

"H-he's gone!" she sobbed. "I couldn't stop him and he left!"

Naruto continued looking at his teammate in confusion, before it clicked. Sasuke had left the village.

The blond rubbed the back of his neck as he looked down, trying to keep his own tears at bay. His best friend violated him and then left the village as if nothing happened.

When he looked back up at his only remaining teammate, he patted her shoulder awkwardly, not wanting to seem insensitive, although he himself was more angry at the raven than he was worried.

"Lady Tsunade wanted me to get you. She said she wanted you on the retrieval mission."

Hearing this, the blond scowled, just wanting to crawl back in bed and forget about the previous night.

"Let me just get ready and I'll meet you at the tower." The pinkette nodded her head and ran off down the hallway.

Naruto closed the door and leaned his back against it, slamming his fists into the wood. He slowly slid down to the floor, curling himself into a ball.

"Sasuke, you bastard! You fucked me and ran? What kind of person would do that to a friend?"

He sat there for a few minutes, before forcing himself to his feet in order to grab the shower he promised himself.
